over the last week I’ve been to the club dinghy park to work on boats 4 times, 3 or these times the gates have been wide open with the lock left hanging and twice with the code still displayed. Now I realise the lock and gate aren’t the best or biggest theft deterrent, but it does go some way to keeping the general public out. So please, if you’re first into the car park, close the lock back up and scramble the code and if you’re last to leave, shut the gate and lock it back up please, it’s not rocket science people, I’m sure you wouldn’t leave your front doors open or your keys in the lock when you go out, so please don’t do tantamount to the same to the club dinghy park.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we were unable to run the sail training at Thorpe Bay Yacht Club as originally planned.
Our General Committee is meeting regularly to review and discuss the situation.
The feasibility of small group Sail Training later on this season is being considered as we keep reviewing the Government’s and RYA’s guidance.
Similar considerations are given to Cadet Sailing.
All Sail Training applications submitted electronically are valid.
Further applications are welcome:
With further “easing” on the horizon and another pleasant weekend ahead, we thought that the time is right to release the use of the club boats.
If you do use one it will need a full wash down on its return please. We will try and get cleaning equipment put out in the dinghy park in boxes near the hoses. Please ensure that the boat is returned ready to use again, clean and tidy.
As the boats have not been used for some months and you’re first out in them, you may need to give them a pre-wash down.
As with all sailing currently at TBYC; you are sailing at your own risk. Please be aware of the conditions and the forecast and sail within them observing TBYC guidance notes 2 & 3 posted around the dinghy park .
Happy Sailing!
please note. If you’d like to use the club Feva, please book this through Andras Gal only.
We need Helms for SS2 & SS3 this weekend please. This is for trot boat duties only – ferrying sailors to cruisers and Sandhoppers. Outstanding vacancies are:
Sunday SS3 Helm – Covered thanks Paul Graves
Monday SS3 Helm – Covered thanks Sue Daly
Please note: One helm will need to row out to SS2 as RIBs are not in use.
If you can help please volunteer via dutyman in the usual way or contact me via [email protected]
