All you winners from last year, Congratulations, I hope you’ve had an equally successful season this year and please can you return your trophies in good time

……………………………………..and YES I do know who you are.

All Dinghy and Catamaran owners with boats in the Dinghy park are reminded that these are to be removed immediately after the End Of Season Trophy on Sunday 10th October 2010 unless entering the Winter and Icicle Series.

Entry Forms for the Winter and Icicle Series are available from the link on this web site and from behind the bar. Entry forms need to be received with the entry fee by Sunday 17th October 2010.

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
