3 Thorpe Bay boats braved the “killer shrimp” at the Ovington Inlands last weekend at Graham Water.

Dan Henderson and George Hand finished a superb 4th place taking on some of Britain’s Olympic contenders scoring a 1st and two 2nds in the 49er fleet. Miles and Mason Burrage came a very credible 7th out of the 15 strong fleet, really looking good out there in the 16-20 knot breeze.

Newcomers to the 29er fleet this year, Alex Farrall and George Warrington placed 24th overall in the biggest fleet of 62 boats. Their 1st event after a few weekend training sessions with the RYA pre TT squad and they were very happy with their efforts.

The challenge is on for the insomniacs amongst us because the addictive online Round the World, Volvo Ocean race game starts on 5th November at 14:00 CET.

The race  lasts for nearly 9 months and mimicks the real event.

In 2009 there were several boats entered from TBYC and the rivalry set in.

You can run a boat as a share and split the load if you wish.

Please feel free to leave your TBYC boatname once you have signed up as a comment on this item then you will be able to track their progress.
