The Boat Fayre is now 11 days away – a good chance to sell some of our unwanted equipment whilst picking up a bargain or two !
There will be a stand for RNLI Southend Lifeboat. They already have been donated a load of windsurfing kit. If you have anything you want to donate to the RNLI stand for them to sell on, or if you want a bargain in the support of the RNLI we want to see you on the 25th.
We want many members to support the Boat Fayre – see you all on the 25th.

A big thank you from the Race Committee ( and all who raced that day) goes to Peter Thompson who stood in at the last minute as Race Officer for the Icicle 5 race when the rostered Race Officer did not show up.

Gary Haylett was appointed as Sailing Secretary for the club at the
AGM in November 2011 but has recently concluded that he is unable to
carry on in the role and has resigned from the post. Gary has been
heavily involved in the development of the racing programme for 2012,
a review of the sailing instructions and the development of a
training day at the club. In accepting his resignation I have extended my thanks to Gary for his
commitment and input over the past months.

Dear All
I hope all of you have had a pleasant winter and are now eager to get back out on the water for this coming season, if any of you managed to get down to the Dinghy show at the weekend it was very informative and a good day out enough to wet the appetite for this coming year.
It’s that time of year again when we have new members coming into the club and fellow sailors deciding they want new challenges sailing different boats, if you are intending on selling your Pico can you please let me know so that I can keep a list of boats for sale ready for when I have an enquiry. I have four Pico’s on my list currently and hope that these can go to members within Thorpe Bay so we can keep the fleet together. We have a growing number of RS Tera’s and Optimists at the club so if you are intending on sailing one of these boats and are unsure where to get one then please contact me.
On another note I don’t know if you have all seen, but Mike Beresford our new Cadet Representative is holding a meeting at the club this Thursday at 8pm to discuss the T.O.P series, Cadets and Cadet week for this coming year and to get feedback from you all. If you didn’t attend Sundays meeting (which was very productive) please try and attend this meeting as we appreciate all feedback whether it is good or bad so that we can continue to have a thriving Cadet section within the club.
The sailing instructions for the T.O.P series will be sent out to you all within the next few weeks ready for the first series start in May. Remember if you have any friends who aren’t current Pico, RS Tera or Optimist owners who wish to participate within this series then please give them my details and I can add them to my mailing list.
See you at the club
Johnno
