There i was on the Committee boat yesterday having successfully got the 3 starts away with the help of Tony and Darren when the time came available with shifting falling breeze on round one to observe all that goes on at TBYC. Now we all know its a busy place on the sailing front, about 40 race starters yesterday + Feva Race Training + Stage 1 Sail Training. so approx 60 boats on the water and what drives all this? the great TBYC volunteer which quite remarkably totalled over 20 great individuals yesterday who are all keen sailing people giving up their water time to teach, train, rescue cover and race officiate. In a seemingly selfish world we seem to have cornered a huge amount of selfless peoples here at TBYC for which we are very lucky.
that was just a waterfront observation, with behind the scenes weekday work by Committee’s from sailing to social totalling another 20-30 guys and girls, makes you feel very proud to be part of it,
