Good News! We can run the Nore Race this year! There was some doubt we could get on the pier, but it’s all OK!

Programmes are being posted out to clubs right now. You can also download a copy from www.benfleetyachtclub.org. Follow the link at the bottom of the first page.

More good news – the Prizegiving will be the following Friday night as usual, as we don’t have to invoke the socially distant options considered in the printed program.

It is only about five weeks to the event so please get your entry in as soon as you are able. Thanks.

Today’s training was on stopping and getting going again. We practiced sailing in the crowd, by locking our sailors “in a cage”. Great job, sailors with the starting practice.
Next Sunday is on, we will be sailing off the beach at 13:00

We are sailing off the beach at 10:00, be ready. Early start, could be windy, dress up well, more than you think necessary. Main focus will still be on stopping, and accelerating. We shall start thinking about sailing upwind soon. YouTube Channel TBYCPicofleet. Relevant videos: Briefing for training 04 04 2021, come to coachboat, Upwind basics. Andras
