This Saturday the Sprint 15 Association join us for a 3 race open starting at 10:00.
We will be running 2 Safety Ribs but with 3 Crews, so nobody has to stay on the water too long.
For this we have already have 3 helms but would like a couple of more people to volunteer to come and join them as crew on the boats.
If you are available, please volunteer. It would be appreciated. Let me know on 07741 201052. Thanks.

With the start of the 2019 season only 2 months away and the sailing programme now published I’ll be putting names against duties during February to complete the calendar in DutyMan.
For those that did not take the opportunity to pick your duties at the Club & Sailing AGMs you now have an opportunity over the next 2 weeks to pick duties online.
You should receive an email from [email protected] today with a link and instructions on how to do this.
Prefer not to do it online? – then simply email me at [email protected] with dates you can’t do and I’ll allocate duties for you.
If you have not received your email (check your spam folder?) or have not done duties before and would like to get involved (no experience necessary) please contact me at [email protected]

We are planning a club visit to the Dinghy Show on Saturday 2nd March. The estimated cost for the coach will be about £10 per head and entry into the Show is also £10.00 (free to under 15’s). Doors open at 09:30 so we would look to leave from the club at 08:30 and will be back around 18:00.
The show is packed with free interactive features to entertain and inspire the whole family including sailing simulators and a 360 film experience giving you the chance to feel the thrill of sailing on dry land. As well as the expert talks and coaching sessions from world class sailors, you’ll also discover hundreds of boats from beautiful classics to the very latest in cutting edge design along with sailing clubs, dinghy classes, boat builders, holiday companies and much more!
A poster will be put up on the club noticeboard this weekend so please put your name on the list to secure your place(s).

Important information from Southend Council Facebook Post regarding flood defences from TBYC towards Shoebury!
*HAVE YOUR SAY* The Shoeburyness community is being invited to have its say on a proposed scheme to protect the area from tidal flooding and coastal erosion.
Marine engineers have worked up four options for feasible coastal management schemes along the 2km stretch of coast between Thorpe Bay Yacht Club and the World War II Quick Battery. They now want local residents, businesses and community groups to learn more about them and give their feedback.
You can attend a public drop-in session at Thorpe Bay Yacht Club or complete a questionnaire online. Further information here: https://www.southend.gov.uk/info/200447/better_southend/874/shoeburyness_coastal_management_scheme
Consultation dates at the club according to the link

The 2018 main season is over, it is this time of year when your Class Captains and the Sailing Committee start to work hard behind the scenes putting next year’s programme together.
The Dinghy AGM is your chance to help by telling us what aspects of the 2018 programme you enjoyed this year and sharing any good ideas you think we could incorporate into the 2019 Sailing Programme.
We hope to see you there.
