Hi all just a quick update.

Following what can only be described as a champaine sailing weekend it was awsome for me to see our Feva class not only on the water but racing and competing well done all who raced!!!

Just a few quick things to think about with the worlds looming and continued training.

Could all let me know if you think I have missed anyone as far as emails are concered as I lost the hard drive on my PC and have re generated the Feva email list but do not want to miss anyone.

If any of you are interested in attending either the Nationals or Inland Nationals please let me know and even confirm please if you are not going.

Also please email me if you are interested in buying new sails before the worlds and I will try to get a deal with RS but need to know by Friday 6th of May

Finally I am trying to put together an order for new boats prior to cadet week  so all of you that are interested then please let me know as early as possible at the below email

ALL CADET FAMILIES…Please find the Cadet Week Registration Pack attached.  There is a lot of information and at least (depending on the number of children you have) 3-pages to print off and return to the club along with payment.  Numbers are limited so advise haste!

Wow! What a fabulous three days! Many many thanks to Steve Hopper for organising such a great week for the Feva sailors. Having been on the Committee Boat on Monday and then again on Wednesday, the improvement in their sailing was amazing! The competition was very close and it was a joy to watch! Well done Feva sailors………bring on the Worlds!

So for those of you vacating the dinghy park this weekend for your annual restoration/hibernation and not fool hardy enough to sail the winter, this is your last chance for some pot hunting this season.

Racing this weekend is as follows

Saturday – Autumn Trophy 12:00 start

Sunday End of Seaon Trophy 13:00 start

remember, trophy races are mass start, so don’t be late, see you on the line !

Following the success of the Laser Pico as the TBYC Cadet/family boat of choice and numbers soon to exceed 70 in the boat park we are very aware of how much easier it is to train and develop sailing skills when all in the same boats.
As the kids grow in size and ability we would like to guide the next step up to be the RS FEVA, there are already a few in the club and in the race group of Cadet Week. Built in a similar material to the PICO they have good durability and the rig has the asymetric kite for excellent performance.

www.rsfeva.org/

once we have got a good nucleus of Feva’s back in the club then it is proposed to offer training days to develop the boat handling skills and then Race Training.

If you are interested in the RS FEVA let me know as i am putting a deal together with RS at the moment and you maybe able to take advantage of a good price.

thanks
