Our TBYC RS Feva Team Racing squad, performed well at the Midland’s British Schools Championships at the Oxford Sailing Club on Saturday. It was our first Team Racing event and the opposition of 12 teams were experienced and strong. However, all three of our teams won their first race with much excitement and expectation. They were keen to put into practice the tactics learnt during the recent Cadet nights and protests were being issued and penalties taken frequently as the teams battled during the next seven races. They all performed well and we are certainly proud of them, but when it was announced that one of our teams had qualified for the finals, the pressure was really on. They won their first race, performing an impressive Mark Stop at the finish line and eventually achieved a most creditable fourth place. May I thank the parents for taking the youngsters to Oxford and of course, congratulations to all the squad.

Our 7th RS Feva training / discussion session will take place this Thursday at 8.00pm upstairs.
We will base our session on the preparation for our Team Racing Championships on the 5th October,(which still has benefits for fleet racing) The Run and the Finish.
I am arranging ‘on water training’ for this Saturday which will be the last before the event. There is no club racing on Saturday, although I think there is enough light and tide for us to be on the beach ready to go at 4.30pm and have time for a worthwhile training session.
