It is with regret that we inform you of the passing of our long-standing members Michael Parkes and Peter Thomas, both will be sadly missed at the Club.

TBYC Kitchen and Bar team are pleased to advise members of a new monthly themed food evening, sampling culinary cuisines from around the world. More information coming soon…

Morning Sailors,

Conditions permitting, today’s scheduled race is the Yantlet Trophy.

The course will be set by the Race officer and drawn on the blackboard at the top of the slipway.

Rounding the Yantlet Beacon will be replace with an orange cylindrical “special” buoy to port, as it has been in recent previous editions of the race.

I wanted to draw your attention to the Sailing instructions: 7. Classes or Fleets. Here it states that for a mass start we will use flag R, and that for the Nore Race and Benfleet Shield, the Windward Leeward Class will start as published + 30 mins. This year the start is scheduled for 13.00, making the W/L class start 13.30.

Hang on to your hats!
