On this Sunday 5th June we have the CADET ‘MINI RACE’ SERIES.

This is open to all Cadets who can sail a Trapezoid course (Beat, Reach and Run). There will be up to four short races with support as needed.

The RNLI Pursuit Race has a different start time for each class of boat, starting from 13:30 and finishes two hours later at 15:30 . The idea is the boats should all finish about the same time based on their PN classification.

If you want to enter and your boat class is not listed below please contact me at [email protected] by 10am on Friday to get a start time.

The idea of the race is to support the RNLI and a collection box will be on the club bar for entrants (and anyone) to donate whatever they like.

This Saturday 28 May 2022 there will be a training session for cadets.
Briefing at the beach 9:45, going afloat at 10:00.
Safety: two RIBs with me and Mark
We need further safety crew parents, getting marks out, and help at the beach for launching and recovery

This session is not suitable for sailors who have never sailed before.
Minimium age is 8

Primary targets are sailors wishing to improve their tacking and basic upwind skills.
Sailing single handed if possible (not much benefit for the crew in these sessions).
Those who have been on the water a few times already, but not competent or not brilliant in sailing a triangular course. No racing experience, or little racing experience with lack of confidence.

As resources are limited, It is essential that you let me know if your sailor is coming.
For safety reasons the group has limitations. Your sailor may be asked not to come out if the numbers are unsafe. If I know in advance, we might organise do two sessions consecutively.

This Sunday 29th May

Briefing at 10.45 (changed and rigged, meet on the sea wall). Leaving the beach at 11.00.

This activity is aimed at the more experienced Cadet Sailors to develop their Racing skills. Sessions include exercises to improve boat handling, sailing a set course, starting and finishes with a series of short races.

CADETS ARE TO COMPLETE THE FULL SESSION, coming back during a session is not an option due to safety reasons. Parents are encouraged to help with preparation, recovery and on-the-water.

Please complete the short form to register your child for this session. Click here 

(This allows me to prepare the Race sheet and save so much time on the day)

Coach: Nick

With the fantastic turnouts this year, especially with seeing many new cadet sailors joining the main racing, we have become a victim of our own success. Namely, congestion on the slipway.

We don’t want anyone to feel that they are compromised in trying to launch but at the same time it must be understood that it is free to use by any member of TBYC.

If members could follow these guidelines then I’m sure it will make it easier for all.
