Many thanks to Howard Hawkes for abandoning his lead over the sprint fleet in order to rescue a cadet who had been whacked on the head by his boom and quite obviously could not get back on his boat this Sunday, top marks Howard.

We need a Race Officer for this Saturday 18th

Great event everyone!

Sam Husk took lots of pictures from the committee boat yesterday and you will find them all here. I’ve added the prizegiving pictures too.

Hi All,

I have an urgent request for a swap of SS2 Crew this Saturday 11th September 2010.

I am away at a Fast Cat open meeting with Struan and did have the duty covered but

am now told they can not do it. So sorry for short notice. I beleive Kylie Jennkins is the helm so that will be fun!! (If she is crew then ignore this message and Struan needs to find a Helm for Ss2). LOL Only joking.

Please call or text 07799704524 or e-mail [email protected]

Many thanks

Wayne Miller.

All, please note a few changes from the previously published versions,

there are now 3 races per day, 1 discard after 5 races or more

the dinner is not included in the entrance fee

Good luck everyone, lets see if we can get at least one National Champion on the Board this year.

K6 at TBYC.

I had my K6 down at the club a few weeks ago and a few people including Nick Elmore have asked if I could bring it down again so that they may have a sail.
So with that in mind I intend to have it at the club over the weekend of the 25/26 September so that people wishing to have a sail can do so.
If anyone would like a sail give me a call or mail so I can spread everyone through the weekend.

You can contact me at [email protected] or [email protected] 07725 590913 or 07802 611599

All,

please take a look at the links to the SSI and the start times for the pursuit race on Sunday the 22nd.

If I’ve inadvertently missed your class of boat out and you wish to compete in the race please contact me at your earliest convenience as I won’t be able to sort it out on the day.

Following the success of the Laser Pico as the TBYC Cadet/family boat of choice and numbers soon to exceed 70 in the boat park we are very aware of how much easier it is to train and develop sailing skills when all in the same boats.
As the kids grow in size and ability we would like to guide the next step up to be the RS FEVA, there are already a few in the club and in the race group of Cadet Week. Built in a similar material to the PICO they have good durability and the rig has the asymetric kite for excellent performance.

www.rsfeva.org/

once we have got a good nucleus of Feva’s back in the club then it is proposed to offer training days to develop the boat handling skills and then Race Training.

If you are interested in the RS FEVA let me know as i am putting a deal together with RS at the moment and you maybe able to take advantage of a good price.

thanks
