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!
