Its planned to float the new race buoys out after racing on Saturday. These will then be swapped over at low tide on Sunday morning with the faded orange buoys floated back in prior to sailing on Sunday. Low tide on Sunday is at 9:40am, so I plan to start at 9:00 which should give plenty of time to deal with the 6 buoys. To make life easier, it would be great to have someone assist.
It’s not the lowest of low tides, so I’d suggest a wetsuit or drysuit will be required.

Just a reminder that Leigh-on-Sea Sailing Club are running their Brass Monkey race this Sunday starting at 2:00pm. Due to the late notification and in the interests of fairness, the Sailing Committee have decided that no concessions (e.g. avg points) will be available to entrants.
Links to the sailing instructions and entry form are available on an earlier posting.

Thorpe Bays YC, Kyle Stoneham is currently enjoying the sun in Bermuda, whilst he races in the International Moth Regatta that is taking place.
Even though racing was cancelled for a day due to strong winds, some of the competitors went sailing in Hamilton Harbour, so they decided to run some speed trials, with Kyle completing the one minute course in top slot. Well done Kyle.
