Hurricane Nationals 2016 Notice of Race

Last Sunday after finishing the Sprint 15 Open, I unfortunately misplaced my Downhaul.

It was on the boat when I took the sail down, therefore I lost it somewhere between the beach and the dinghy park.

If you found it I would appreciate if you would let me know as it is a surprisingly expensive part and required to sail the boat.

It is very similar to the one in the attach photo.

Thanks. Paul Morgan 07741 201052.

Information for this event is now available

Last weekend saw many of our Sprint 15 sailors racing at Marconi in windy and cold conditions.

Thorpe Bay made an impressive start to the newly introduced Traveller Team Trophy with a turnout of six competitors.

The highlight of the weekend was a long race around Osea and Northey Islands, with a strong if inconsistent northerly breeze, this proved to be one of the fastest round the island races with a fetch for much of the race.

Many of our team getting top 10 position. Chris Tillyer and Steve Healy being split by Jenny Ball our TBYC regular winter visitor, followed closely by Jim Bowie and Daren Fitchew.

Well done guys. Full report and results available at Yachts and Yachting Race Report

I currently have a spare Sprint15 in the dinghy park which I’d like to offer to other members who might like to have a go over the winter season.  You can be assured of plenty of help from the rest of the fleet.  

The boat is entered for the icicle series so you can race or just go out for a sail during the racing.

If interested give me a call. Daren 07889 003599
