Hi guys, theres a number of competitions at the dinghy show this year, and a number of opportunities for us to win things for the club, ranging from bouyancy aids, through to outboard engines, and support boats. Take a look on http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/?article=155749

We are holding a ‘blind’ wine tasting night on Friday February 25th to establish a new wine list for 2011.

It will be a blind tasting, so no labels on show. This is to get the best wine list possible.

Tickets cost £15 and include all wines and buffet.

Tickets are limited to only 80.

A big thank you to all members who supported the working party a great deal was achieved in a small amount of time. Including Slipway Clean, Displacement support boats pressure washed, Committee Boat sanded/prepared plus the inside of hulls were cleaned out prior to repair by some willing Cadets. Clubhouse & kitchen repair tasks were also completed. Thanks to those who also did the running around procuring last minute tools / supplies.

Next working party is planned for Sat 19th March @ 10am when hopefully it will be considerably warmer!

There’s still a few places left for the Valentines dinner.

Hi all, just a quick follow up from our commodore’s welcome post to honer our new world champion!!!

During all the excitement of these type of events it is easy to forget the tremendously high level of sailing required to compete. Having competed in many world championships in my life I think it is fair to say on both ability level and psychological level, such events are like your best club trophy race x 10.

With this in mind I would personally like to congratulate Ronny the “Rocket” Barns for his achievements as Sam Husk quite elequently put it “Mixing it up at World Level”

Well done Ronny I am sure you would have liked a better result. I also know you are very capable sailor, as your pre-worlds results proved. I look forward to your account of the experience in the Bar back at sweet old TBYC!!!
