The kitchen will be closed today for staff break.

Normal service will resume tomorrow, Wednesday.

Apologies for any inconvenience

I am glad to say that the Picos have had a good 2 days of sailing, completing 4 races. Unfortunately I have had nobody come forward as race officer for Monday and therefore it has been abandoned.

Today saw the start of a weekends Pico sailing (20 minutes after main sailing). Scott Weller and helpers did RO duty today and Paul Chapman and Sam Petty-Mayor will do tomorrow. If anybody can offer there services to complete it Monday then it will enable a whole Bank Holiday Weekend of Pico sailing. Please let me know if you can on 07741 201052, otherwise I will let everybody know if Monday is abandoned. Thanks.

Due to things out of our control we need volunteers for the following roles during tomorrows Benfleet Shield Race.

Race Officer  –  Assistant Race Officer  –  Safety Boat Crew

This race will not take place without at least two of these position being filled as I am sure you would understand. If you can offer your help please contact Steve Healy on 07821 085700 or myself on 07741 201052.

Hosted by BrixhamYC sailing in Torbay, with a 10 race championship over 4 days, saw a dry and sunny light wind and less event, in which Nic and his helm Rob Larke posted no less than 4 bullets, supported by 2 seconds.  They took the title in an extremely competitive fleet where the top 10 boats included 6 previous Hornet national champions.  Gary & Tracey also put in a valiant effort with some close racing running all through the fleet, but finished ‘also rans’, enjoying the company much more than the mainly non trapezing conditions.  What a timely advert for the Hornet open meeting to be held at TBYC on 26/27 September 2015, for which a Hornet Association owned boat is currently available to be used, by prior arrangement, by any wanna have a go Horneteers.  Congratulations Nic, and yet another TBYC National Champion to add to the TBYC honours board!
