Last Sunday Thorpe Bay YC Cadets had a memorable training session: first time ever we ran two groups. Sailors did some warm up drills all together. The younger generation could admire and copy the skills of our advanced sailors. Then the top group sailed away with Nick to work on their sail settings and close manoeuvring. Our younger sailors stayed with Andras: they developed their upwind speed, practiced boat control and timed starts out of a cage (a small square area marked with 4 buoys) to the upwind mark. Session was closed with an adapted cat and mouse game. Thank you to all involved, all supporters and well-wishers.
For years we wanted to run two groups and now we got there. This would not have been possible without each and every one of you supporting our youth sailing. New chapter is starting in our history. Our reward is obvious: just look at and talk to our sailors. We are so proud of our team. – Nick and Andras

We are sailing off the beach at 16:30, short briefing on the beach 5 minutes before. – Andras

In preparation for Cadet week I will be hosting another wetsuit shop on Saturday 17th July from 2pm for approximately 1 hour.   

There will be a selection of second hand sailing clothing (mainly for cadets) including wetsuits, boots etc and you will be able to view in the front garden.

Suggested donation is £5 per item or swap (raising money for the Cadet fund).  There is also a few brand new items with tags for £15

NO shortie wetsuits donations – thank you Lindsay

We are sailing off the beach at 11:30. I hope there will be enough wind to sail. It may rain a little, that should not put us off!

Meeting on the beach a few minutes earlier for a short briefing. See you there: Andras
