A huge thank you to Rob Bailey, Chris Maloney, Mick Duce, Barry Duce, Janet Wilsmer, Paul Farrall, Mark Robinson, Gordon Sanders, John Casson, Chas Gibson, Jeremy Sandford, Tony Padbury, Peter Thompson & Toby Speller who today with great enthusiasm thoroughly cleaned the interior, hull topsides and underneath of the TBYC Committee boat in preparation for re-antifouling, fitted a new VHF radio with remote speaker / microphone and fully serviced the inboard engine.

A great demonstration of teamwork to achieve many jobs in just a few hours.  Thank you also to Hannah Padbury for sending along the delicious homemade cake & sausage rolls to keep everyone going!

Planned working parties will be advertised over the coming months to continue to prepare the Committee boat and our displacement support boats for next season, but please speak with the Rear Commodore Racing if you would like to be involved….

Although the 2014 main season is over, it is this time of year when your Class Captains and the Sailing Committee start to work hard behind the scenes putting next years programme together.  The Dinghy AGM is your chance to help by telling us what aspects of the 2014 programme you enjoyed this year and sharing any good ideas you think we could incorporate into next years Sailing Programme.

Have you got some ideas, do you want to help? Then we have a vacancy on the Sailing Committee for Sailing Secretary, let me know if you are interested.

This years Dinghy AGM will be held on Wednesday 12th November 2014 at 20:00 in the Commodores Bar.

We hope to see you there.

Jeremy Sandford and the 2014 Sailing Committee.

WATCH IN 720HD

The boys and girls in the RS Feva fleet exceeded expectations by beating Eton College 5 – 0 in a Team Race at Bray Lake near Windsor on Saturday. In bright sunshine and with 10 to 13 mph winds, they practised their Team racing skill’s in the school’s Fireflies during the morning, ready to race the Eton boys after lunch. On this occasion, we were slightly older than the opposition and this lifted the team’s confidence. The starts were tight, with everyone on the line in a rising wind. By the first mark we managed a leading combination in most races, however this needed to be maintained on the forthcoming reaches and run.  TBYC were not going to be beating at this stage and with some cunning Team Racing moves, succeeded to win the match.  A great day was had by all and was concluded with afternoon tea and a thank-you speech made by Sam L.  Well done to the Squad!

Due to Reasons Beyond my control there will be no catering today i do apologise for this scott
