Saturday was a now common 5-6 (gusts even more) , so perfect weather for Daren Fitchew (and other members) to go off to Leigh for the day, sailing a Sprint 15. Having came second to Chris Boshier last year, he was keen to get the top spot.

Well done to Daren for winning this years Leigh on Sea Brass Monkey Trophy. We understand he had a very good distance on all boats. Well done to the other sailors from TBYC that also sailed around in the exciting conditions.

This does mean that we have now held the trophy for 3 years following two years of wins by Chris Boshier.

Please note that tickets are now sold out.

We are unfortunately now unable to accommodate anyone who hasn’t already bought their ticket.  For any non-member friends of members who requested places, if you haven’t received a phone call from me then I am sorry but afraid we were unable to accommodate you on this occasion.

The main bar is being set up for the party at 2.30pm, so members are requested to utilise the Commodore Bar after this time – the bar will be open.

The Sailing Committee met today and discussed the poor weather we have had during the Saturday and Sunday Winter Series and that the without three races, according to the Sailing Instructions each Series will not be valid.

It is therefore planned, at the discretion of the Race Officer, to include an extra race on Saturday to complete the series. The weather has been reasonably mild, except for the wind and therefore we feel that this should be acceptable to all.

We still plan to run a single race on Sunday.

Don’t forget to buy your ticket(s) for the cadet Christmas party which is taking place this Sunday at 3.30pm!
