As some of you know Kyle Stoneham, Chris Clarke, Danny Clark, Miles Burridge and Mark Dell are representing TBYC at the Moth Nationals this week and the worlds next week at Hayling Island.
116 boats have entered for the Nationals
140 have entered for the worlds meaning this is the biggest moth event in history.
Along with an amazing line up of sailors including Olympic medallist, World Champions and Americas cup sailors.
We have sourced a couple of Sprint 15’s that can be used by anybody that is happy sailing one and would like to race in the Sprint 15 Nationals. We have confirmed that with our main Insurers that this is OK as long as we supply the sailors names that will be sailing them. There is the cost of entering and joining the association, however if your entry goes in now there is a £15 reduction and as it will also be your first Sprint Nationals another £20 discount to cover Association membership.
For more details please send us an email to [email protected] or speak to myself, Steve Healy or Paul Morgan.

The standard of racing was extremely high at this year’s BSDRA Thames Valley Team Racing Championships at Bray lake. There were 21 teams competing, aged between 12 and 18 in a total of 106 races on Saturday 7th June. During the first set of races the teams are seeded into four divisions, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Novices. Our young TBYC team won enough races to be placed in the Bronze division, which was an achievement in itself.
They continued to communicate and sail well as a team, and considering their overall age, their sailing was impressive, against much older sailors. They performed a number of Pass-backs, Mark traps and Pinning maneuvers and were determined right to the end. It may have been a most daunting experience at times, but they achieved a pleasing =12th place out of 21 teams. They were awarded the Best Newcomers’ Cup!
