As a committee we took the decision back in March to continue to plan for a Cadet week, but not to put out the application forms due to the uncertainty of the duration of lockdown. The General Committee have been meeting on a weekly basis, closely monitoring the guidance from the Government and subsequent changes to the advice given by the RYA and PLA.
Having reviewed the planned changes to restrictions issued last week and even with the gradual lifting of lockdown, the obstacles were too big for us to provide a safe event on and off the water. We have therefore taken the decision to cancel this year’s Cadet Week. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, we are disappointed but feel it is the right decision.
As the summer progresses I look forward to seeing more people re integrating with the club and getting back on the water in whatever form that may be. When as a club we are able to organise activities safely, we will look at the remaining planned Cadet programme for the season and issue further guidance.
You may want to try man overboard on the water this weekend.
Instead of throwing your parent or sibling you may consider using a bottle, like this:
Remember the challenge:
Deadline is approaching, midnight this Sunday
Man overboard!
Call for a challenge: plan your rescue
Great prizes will be offered to those who make an effort!
Have a look at this short video on YouTube:
Options:
– Write a few words – explain your approach!
– Ask me good questions!
– Draw a sketch or make an artwork on your approach!
Send your answer / sketch to my email or to the club’s email.
Deadline: Sunday the 21st of June at midnight
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:
I would like to recommend the RYA YouTube Channel.

The “Sail Smarts” series has started for kids.
Check it out!
There are many other good resources on sailing on YouTube and online.
Sadly at present we can’t do much more than that.
I hope that we can safely get back to sailing again at one point in the future.
