Dear Members
Again we find ourselves very tight on space in the dinghy park. We are approaching the Winter Storage issue and what we do with all the boats! The Sailing Committee have agreed a similar approach to last year.
We may be unable to accommodate all dinghies wishing to sail or be stored at the club over the Winter. With over 200 dinghies, Cruisers and Sandhoppers there just isn’t room.
There will be storage only for some Lasers and Piccos but this will be on the racks and offered on a first come first served basis. There will be limited storage for other classes elsewhere.
Application forms need to be with the Club Secretary before the 17th September so that a plan can be made before lift out. Any late payments (if accepted at all) will incur a £20 surcharge.
There are a great number of unloved and unsailed boats in the dinghy park. We would encourage these members to seriously consider removing these boats or disposing of them if not sailed. We are first and foremost, a sailing club and priority of storage will be given to those who can demonstrate regular use of their craft over previous winters
Regards

It is with sadness I announce that one of the club trustee’s Ann Mckinlay passed away peacefully at her care home on Friday 3rd September.
Ann a life member had been active at the club since 1951 until the last few years. Many members have fond memories of her keeping the Race Officer in check on the old red committee boat.
On behalf of the club I send our sincere condolences to Ann’s family

The club is holding the annual Bart’s Bash Race in memory of Andrew “Bart” Simpson MBE on the 11th September
You can find the NOR here. This will tell you how to donate to the Andrew Simpson Foundation and join in the global race. It also explains how this will work.
It’s a very worthy cause and hope to have a good TBYC sign up and turn out!

Henry Petty-Mayor has sent the following You Tube links to some footage of the Cadet Racing last week.
Take a look! It’s very good to see how well you’re pointing and the effect of “dirty air” from the boat in front. There’s some very nice sailing going on from our Cadets!
