Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Our local Scout Association wish to thank TBYC for putting on a fantastic sailing event on Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th July which enabled 19 Cubs and Scouts to gain their water activity and challenge badges. Four races were held on each evening with 12 Picos challenging for the top spot over a short inshore course in ideal sailing conditions. Peter Snow was on peak form on Monday winning 3 races and John Williams pulled away from the fleet taking 3 wins on Tuesday.
My thanks to our band of volunteers who made this event a great success:
Jacob Allard, Sophie Boyge, Harry Boygle, Amy Chapman, Teddy Elmore, Michael Hodges, Tommy Holmes, Trevor Hughes, Harry Hughes, Laura Lloyd, Robyn Murdoch, Olivier Petty-Mayor, Peter Snow, Johnny Snow, Alex Thomason, John Williams and Linda and Rupert Snow for manning the support boat.

• Feva Nationals 2013
• Nore Race 2013
• Sprint 15 Open
• Sail Training

Many of these excellent photos have been taken by Linzi Swindon who you can contact if you would like any copies.

at the Finn National Championships recently, join us at the Club for drinks on Friday evening at 7.30. Come to congratulate Allen and celebrate what a star we have in our midst.

Congratulations to Alan Burrell winning  the Finn Nationals this weekend.

Well done Alan you deserve it with all the hard work and preparation you put into your boat.

Saturday sees the start of the Sprint 15 Open. We are expecting around 40+ boats to be racing.

Club Racing will continue as normal from the Shorebox, Sprint 15 Visitors will be parking and storing their boats on the West side of the Car Park (next to the fence) and Camping on the North Side, these areas will be hopefully marked. Parking for Club Cars will still be available in the remaining space and through the gap in the centre.
