The RNLI Pursuit Race has a different start time for each class of boat, starting from 13:30 and finishes two hours later at 15:30 . The idea is the boats should all finish about the same time based on their PN classification.

If you want to enter and your boat class is not listed below please contact me at [email protected] by 10am on Friday to get a start time.

The idea of the race is to support the RNLI and a collection box will be on the club bar for entrants (and anyone) to donate whatever they like.

This Sunday 29th May

Briefing at 10.45 (changed and rigged, meet on the sea wall). Leaving the beach at 11.00.

This activity is aimed at the more experienced Cadet Sailors to develop their Racing skills. Sessions include exercises to improve boat handling, sailing a set course, starting and finishes with a series of short races.

CADETS ARE TO COMPLETE THE FULL SESSION, coming back during a session is not an option due to safety reasons. Parents are encouraged to help with preparation, recovery and on-the-water.

Please complete the short form to register your child for this session. Click here 

(This allows me to prepare the Race sheet and save so much time on the day)

Coach: Nick

With the fantastic turnouts this year, especially with seeing many new cadet sailors joining the main racing, we have become a victim of our own success. Namely, congestion on the slipway.

We don’t want anyone to feel that they are compromised in trying to launch but at the same time it must be understood that it is free to use by any member of TBYC.

If members could follow these guidelines then I’m sure it will make it easier for all.

Congratulations to Isla, Roxy, Amelie, Harrison, Grace and Sophie for successfully completing their RYA Stage 2 dinghy sailing course held at the club on 14th and 15th May.

This is our first ever in house RYA sailing course organised by the club so well done to all those who have made it possible by ensuring we received our RYA accreditation for sailing courses which is not easily achieved.

Also thank you to our instructors for the weekend  Sam, Louise, Ellie and Nick and over seen by our Chief Sailing instructor Adam.

We have a few places remaining on the emergency first aid at work course being held at TBYC on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 23rd June 7-10pm delivered by Mark Petty-Mayor.

The cost of this is £75 and it is a nationally and RYA recognised qualification.

Places will be offered on a first come first serve basis.
