This Saturday the Sprint 15 Association join us for a 3 race open starting at 10:00.

We will be running 2 Safety Ribs but with 3 Crews, so nobody has to stay on the water too long.

For this we have already have 3 helms but would like a couple of more people to volunteer to come and join them as crew on the boats.

If you are available, please volunteer. It would be appreciated. Let me know on 07741 201052. Thanks.

With the start of the 2019 season only 2 months away and the sailing programme now published I’ll be putting names against duties during February to complete the calendar in DutyMan.

For those that did not take the opportunity to pick your duties at the Club & Sailing AGMs you now have an opportunity over the next 2 weeks to pick duties online.

You should receive an email from [email protected] today with a link and instructions on how to do this.

Prefer not to do it online? – then simply email me at [email protected] with dates you can’t do and I’ll allocate duties for you.

If you have not received your email (check your spam folder?) or have not done duties before and would like to get involved (no experience necessary) please contact me at [email protected]

After a short break, the Last Thursday in the Month Dinghy Nights are back, starting this Thursday.

These nights give like minded club members a chance to come together and have a chat about the important things. We have a plan of areas that through the year that will have guest presenters on some evenings.

Come along this week, partners are welcome and show your support, which may also give us a chance to get the Kitchen open in coming months.

UKBF presentation – TBYC 29/01 – due to the current level of uncertainty and Met Office severe weather warning that has been put in place regarding potential travel disruption in Kent, London & Essex areas for this evening the UK Border Force presentation has now been rescheduled for Tuesday 12^th March at 20:00hrs at TBYC.
