The Endeavour is fast approaching! It is a one day Championship to pitch the best of each fleet against each other in a one design class.

This year again, the class of choice is the Sandhopper. It’s easy to sail and can involve the crews in the event. This year crews will be sailing against last year’s Sandhopper National Champions: Chris and Ken Clarke.

We do hope that people will accept the challenge in the spirit of the event and take part. If you can’t be there please speak to your class captains.

This year’s invites are:

Finn – Allen Burrell – Accepted Challenge

Sprint – Gary Sverdloff & Andrew Hannah – Accepted Challenge

Hurricane – Julian Reichert & George Warrington

Windward/Leeward – Nick Elmore & Andrew Wood Accepted Challenge

Laser – Chris Boshier & Dominic Speller Accepted Challenge

Cruiser – Paul Farrall & Alex Farrall – Accepted Challenge

Cadet – Winner or Cadet Week – Assisted by Alex Warrington – Accepted Challenge by default!

Sandhopper – Chris & Ken Clarke – Accepted Challenge

Single handed classes may select a crew from within their fleets.

Please let me know your acceptance of the challenge by email to mailto:[email protected]

This year the Hoodies come in 3 colours – Navy, Dark Grey and Pink

We are also offering Zip Up Hoodies in Navy and Dark Grey. (I am afraid they do not come in the Pink option)

As like last year you can have them three ways:

Front Only: TBYC Embroidered Logo on the front

Front and Back: TBYC Embroidered Logo on the front and TBYC printed on the back

Front and Back Cadet: TBYC Embroidered Logo on the front and TBYC CADET printed on the back

However this year you can personalised them with your name or nickname printed on the back!!!

See images below for examples and prices.

Please fill out the order form below and contact the office to pay or via Bank Transfer (ref surname/hoodie)

LAST ORDERS 5th JULY!

Session full! If another session is possible we will prioritise those who couldn’t attend this weekend 😊

Saturday 18th June meeting at 13.30 on the beach rigged and changed

Andras and Mark D will be offering an additional small group session for up to 8 cadets who are transitioning to Piranhas for Cadet Week or who Piranhas who have not been on the water this year. If places remain they can be allocated to any cadet who expresses an interest.

If there is lots of interest, 2 short, 1 hour sessions maybe run.

It is essential that you comment on Facebook or email [email protected] to request a place.

Thanks

Nice to see Sandhoppers making it into the press for a mention by Sue Pelling regarding Burnham Week: https://www.sail-world.com/news/250150/?source=rss

On Sunday 12 June 2022 , Havens Hospices will be holding the Southend Half Marathon Event . Full details can be found in the attachment.

Access to the grass  car park will be prohibited from 08.45 – 12.00. If you are in the car park before 08.45am you will not be able to get out until after midday.

Racing on 12 June starts at 09.30am so most of you will have crossed the road by the time it is closed, otherwise please take notice of the stewards and give way to the runners.
