The club is able to offer members limited storage space for dinghies and catamarans that are not entering the Winter & Icicle Series.

Please refer to the winter storage cost relative to your class of boat  Winter storage rates 2017

and ensure that your application  Dinghy-Catamaran-Winter-Storage-Form

is received by the Club Secretary by Sunday 8th October.

All dinghies in rows I, J, K and M will need to be moved and it is the responsibility of the owner to move his/her boat into a free space immediately after the End of Season Trophy race.

The time has come for change to the catering provided at TBYC. We are moving away from operating the kitchen under a franchise agreement to a model where we employ and manage the staff in-house. This will offer greater flexibility in terms of menu selection and opening hours.

On behalf of the General Committee and the wider club I would like to say thank you to Dave Dowson for running the kitchen for the last two sailing seasons. Dave will be with us for another two months during which time we will look to hire a catering manager and related staff. We hope to have the new system in place as soon as possible to prevent any break in service.

Eighteen Cadets did us proud by entering the Interclub Dinghy Cadet Team Race last Sunday, hosted by Essex Yacht Club. Nine boats were loaded onto trailers to be transported to Leigh together with ‘Seasafe 3’ towing another two Picos and the Cadet Rib around the pier.  Our Cadets, who ages range from 10 to 15 years, unloaded their dinghies, rigged them and were off to the Start Line, far in the distance. The course was large and the buoys were hard to see through the sea mist, however the Cadets managed to tackle the massive waves (especially when you are only 10 years old in a Pico) and 18mph winds. These was certainly challenging conditions. For most Cadets, this was their first major race away from the club and I think they deserve much praise. They all returned with a smile on their face, a little exhausted, but contented that they had successfully represented TBYC as a team.  Photo: 11 team members

Nick Cotgrove keeps a pair of oars under his Dart 16 (yellow hulls).  The oars have been borrowed. If you used them, would you return them to Nick’s catamaran, please.

If you need oars, each club tender has a pair.

Due to the Finn Nationals the second Car Park has been opened for the weekend. Enter using the normal Dinghy Park Entrance and drive through the usual area where the Finns are, entering the weekends Car Park through the hole in the fencing.
