Congratulations to Isla, Roxy, Amelie, Harrison, Grace and Sophie for successfully completing their RYA Stage 2 dinghy sailing course held at the club on 14th and 15th May.

This is our first ever in house RYA sailing course organised by the club so well done to all those who have made it possible by ensuring we received our RYA accreditation for sailing courses which is not easily achieved.

Also thank you to our instructors for the weekend  Sam, Louise, Ellie and Nick and over seen by our Chief Sailing instructor Adam.

The Nore Race is running this year, sponsored by Essex Rigging.

Programmes are available on the TBYC Bar. You can also download a copy from www.benfleetyachtclub.org.

The Prizegiving will be the following Friday night as usual which is the 15th July at Benfleet Yacht Club. All Competitors Crews, Family and Friends are welcome.

Hi All, I have put together a new Sandhopper T Shirt for this year. https://bit.ly/3N31ky0 if you want to amend it to have your boat name on it, just add to your basket, go into edit and you can change what ever you like. (Remember to delete the original purchase from your basket otherwise you will end up with two!) You can also change the T shirt basis from Mens to Womens or the Style or make a Jumper… Its up to you.. Its easier or a tablet or pc/mac rather than a phone as the text is a little small!

Due to the course, there will be no Club Picos available to borrow this weekend.

This Sunday 8th May

Briefing at 15.45 (changed and rigged, meet on the sea wall). Leaving the beach at 16.00.

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.
