Congratulations to Kyle Stoneham on his Third place overall in the Nationals at North Devon Yacht Club – Instow.

Kyle managed a very good set of results despite the light and flukey conditions that prevailed in a heavy tidal estuary. For a full set of results please follow this link www.sprint15.com

We should be especially proud of Kyle as he is pure home grown talent, getting most of his experience from sailing around the Thames Estuary in all weathers and all states of the tide, from a very young age.

Team TB want to wish Kyle the best of  luck with the forthcoming Tornado Europeans in Weymouth.

RS 200 : sail no 733 for sale.  Two sets of sails, one new last year so in very good condition. New cover last year.  Padded rudder bag. £3,500.

You will be pleased to hear that Allen Burrell finished 3rd out of a fleet of 51 in the French Championnat Senior, ( Like an RYA national title) with John Heyes 7th… despite a bit of dodgey French cheating. Allen was there as a warm up for the World Masters Championship at the same venue next week, with 280 boats entered, so we will try and keep you posted.

Hi All,

Some of you won’t know me and others might think I’ve left the club.
Well I haven’t and I still have duties to do, although due to my
triathlon commitments (which is the reason I’m not sailing at the
moment) I can’t make either duty I’m scheduled to do this year.  Can
someone please help and swap duties with me?

I’m due to be Assistant Race Officer on Saturday 30th May and crew on
Sea Safe 3 on Saturday 20th June.

I will try to be as flexible as I can if you offer me a swap but I
won’t list the dates I can/can’t do here.  If you need to swap too and
can do either of the dates above, please call me on 07867 518046.

thanks
Andy Wood

Some photos from the weekends racing are available here : http://www.nutsy.co.uk/bekabean/v/Mike/

There are some notably good shots of a moth, skiff, and 49’er on saturdays race, and some of the sandhoppers on sunday. Credit to the photographers, Neil Hurrell on Saturday and Rebecca Gruncell on Sunday.

We rigged on the East grass area in front of the dinghy park on Monday
and at some point during the exercise our boom simply disappeared. We may have left it on the grass while rigging and left it behind when we crossed the road and hope that some well intentioned individual found it and put it somewhere for safe keeping.

Any information leading to recovery would be much appreciated. We are talking about a 2.5m length of black anodised tube approx 60mm in diameter.

Thanks

Robin
