Hello everybody

Fancy swaping your wetsuit/trapeze harness for some oars and exercise?

I would like to get at least get a couple of crews/boats (i’m up for the exercise) for some friendly interclub rivalery.

Entry fee is £3 per person.

If anyone has knowledge of or owns a suitable rowing/skulling machine (preferably not from the gym nor 240v!)  or fancies taking part, please drop me a line.

If the link does not work, go on the BYC website for all the info.

Thanks, simon

Thank you to our Race Officers this Sunday Gordon & Martyn

Due to circumstances beyond the club’s control we have had to cancel this event. 

Sorry for any disappointment this may cause. 

Instead we will run an August Bank Holiday Mini series over the three days on a similar format as the normal Pico series so we can all spend plenty of race time on the water having loads of fun as always. 

Now what we do need is a sponsor, so if anyone has any suggestions as to offering a cup of some sort then do please let Mike Thomason know and we can make this an annual event. 

Laser Centre have been asked to let us know about some special deals on race sails, kickers and toestraps and details to follow once received.

Well done to the magnificent seven who braved the howling winds at Seasalter last week, we had 18 – 38 mph winds on the first day, offshore with flat water, cat course, absolutely adrenalin fuelled thumping fun.

Especially well done to Martin Ellis for his 3rd place overall, to Howard Hawkes for his 3rd place on race 1 and also to Gary Burrows and Keith Persin for 6th and 7th on race 3 ( top end of F7).

All in all a great show by the Thorpe Bay Sprinters – well done to all!
