Congratulations to Alan Burrell winning  the Finn Nationals this weekend.

Well done Alan you deserve it with all the hard work and preparation you put into your boat.

Saturday sees the start of the Sprint 15 Open. We are expecting around 40+ boats to be racing.

Club Racing will continue as normal from the Shorebox, Sprint 15 Visitors will be parking and storing their boats on the West side of the Car Park (next to the fence) and Camping on the North Side, these areas will be hopefully marked. Parking for Club Cars will still be available in the remaining space and through the gap in the centre.

Congratulations to all sailors who enjoyed fantastic conditions and a great day out on the water yesterday.  TBYC was well represented in the race, lets get as many people down to BYC for the BBQ and prize giving on Friday.

Once again thank you to Tony, Toby, Simon and their crews who manned our 3 ribs, providing safety cover for all competitors yesterday, always a reassuring sight to know we are looked after by such experience and competent safety  boats.  If you see them at the bar, buy them a drink please.

Well done Mike for sailing his Hurricane single handed, completing the course with a capsize by South Shoebury!  We may need to look into briefing with course cards, chart and compass for some of the sprints next year..!

Results should be out today.

TBYC midweek sailing continues this week with

Tue 2nd Midweek 6 19:00 start

Wed 3rd Midweek 7 19:00 start

The annual Nore race is being run this Sunday by Benfleet Yacht Club.

As an additional safety measure members are being asked to sign out and back in at the bosun’s hut at the top of the slipway, so that we are aware of how many boats are taking part and to ensure that all have returned safely at the end of the day.

Regards

Sailing Committee

Hi everyone,
