Fresh from winning the 2011 Finn nats at Christchurch, Al does it again Hayling Island Sailing Club this weekend. Nice one mate. Any chance of getting some plastering done though…..?

Huge congratulations to Miles and Mason Burrage sailing their 49er Big Bear to victory today in the Hobday Anniversary Trophy.
these two guys have impressed us all with the dedication to diet and fitness that has enabled them to master the skills at the highest technical & team sailing level which is the Olympic 49er.
I think it is now time to take your father Terry for a spin round the bay!
great sailing guys,

Peter

Hi Everyone

The annual TBYC Summer Ball is fast approaching on June 4th and I am looking for some willing and budding volunteers to help set up the balcony awning, matting and tables on the evening of June 3rd (Friday). Also if anyone is available for a hour or so during the day of June 4th to help move the dance floor carpet and tables about that would be fantastic.

All help greatly received and appreciated!

For one day only the main bar and balcony will be closed on June 4th for the ball. The Commodores bar will be open and Gary will be open with a limited menu during that day.

If anyone is available to help on either Friday or Saturday please can you let me know.

Many thanks in advance!!

Congratulations to Allen Burrell sailing at Christchurch this weekend to become the 2011 Finn National Champion. Well done Al, fully deserved for your total dedication, must be time for a well done me new boat purchase!
