Just a reminder that the TBYC midweek evening series of racing kicks off next week. With races on Wednesday & Thursday evening.

Thanks to all 72 fellow sandhopper sailors for a great lift in supper, together with our friends from maylandsea bay we raised £325 for Essex air ambulance which David will take to them today as a token of our fund raising efforts for them this year.

Watch this footage from 1964 of the GP 14 Nationals at TBYC, comment if you recognise anyone,

Commitment and racing experience more important than looks and age!

All you winners from last year, Congratulations, I hope you’ve had an equally successful season this year and please can you return your trophies in good time

……………………………………..and YES I do know who you are.

All Dinghy and Catamaran owners with boats in the Dinghy park are reminded that these are to be removed immediately after the End Of Season Trophy on Sunday 10th October 2010 unless entering the Winter and Icicle Series.

So for those of you vacating the dinghy park this weekend for your annual restoration/hibernation and not fool hardy enough to sail the winter, this is your last chance for some pot hunting this season.

Racing this weekend is as follows

Saturday – Autumn Trophy 12:00 start

Sunday End of Seaon Trophy 13:00 start

remember, trophy races are mass start, so don’t be late, see you on the line !

Hi All,

You’ve waited for it, you’ve asked for it and at last it’s here, come on and sign up for your Winter racing at the North side of the Thames Premier sailing venue.

Please note entries and payment must be in by 17th October 2010 so we can allocate dinghy park spaces.

DON’T FORGET this is an open even, so if  you want to get some Winter training in with a buddy from another club get them to enter too.
