Fast multihull cats with handicap below 720, expect to do 2 laps, (32 miles).

Myself & Sophie will be in SS7. If you wish to leave your munchies, stella artois etc for ‘safe keeping’  until after the race then give us a shout. Cost of the looking after said items will be half the ‘booty’.

Have a great day and see you on the water.

Simon & Sophie.

Crew required to run SS3 covering club racing on Sunday 03rd July 2011 – start is at 13:00hrs so would need to be afloat midday.

A massive thank-you to the TBYC 2011 Regatta Race Officers Alan & Sally Willis and Howard Hawkes who coped with calm professionalism with everything the weather could possibly throw at them this weekend.

Thanks to all the members that supported in the many functions such as Beachmaster, Pico Race Officers, safety boat crews, race recorders, registration, BBQ ticket promotors and the team that spent both days getting very wet assisting competitors off the water in the challenging conditions and helped with the rib recovery tasks.

Thank you to the members that loaned Ribs as additional safety cover – this permitted a much greater level of coverage allowing the racing to take place.

Plus the results team who turned around the results for our five races  in super quick time – well done.

What a great team & thanks again,

Toby Speller -Rear Commodore Racing
