For this weekend and possibly for the next week at least, please would you refrain from using the grass car park next to the dinghy park. After the heavy rains recently it’s very wet and unsuitable for use.
Many thanks

As you can all see the weather approaching it is fair to say at this stage that sailing will be cancelled tomorrow. Please don’t travel unnecessarily. Duty crews – it’s your lucky day!
Please make sure that your boat is soundly secured in the dinghy park today and it would be very advisable not to enter the dinghy park tomorrow.
Looking forward to better winds next time.

The main club season finished over a month ago and tomorrow is the third Winter Series Saturday Race. There are still over half the boats in the dinghy park (60+) that have yet to pay for winter sailing or storage.
The club would like all members with boats to make sure they are fully paid before the end of November 2019.
The resources of the huge volunteer force that help to run the club are better spent on facilities and sailing management rather than chasing overdue payments.

Our Cadets had a tremendous day participating in the Matt Dear Trophy. 25 Cadets in 15 dinghies travelled to TEYC, some by sea, to compete in this annual event, which attracted 31 boats. Hannah and Lydia gained 1st place in their RS Feva closely followed by Pippa and Isabella in their ‘420’. Third was Luke in his Laser, followed by Daniel also in a Laser and in fifth position was Nathan who was also the first Pico. They all crossed the Start line within seconds, tacking to gain clear air and fought in light winds to get to the windward buoy. The wind direction changed making the next leg a challenge for everyone. The battle increased on the final leg resulting in victory for TBYC.
This event is run by The Matthew Dear Foundation to raise awareness about the dangers of Appearance & Performance Enhancing Drugs after Matthew Dear’s life at 18 was cut tragically short, by having a fatal reaction to taking these steroids. https://www.matthewdearfoundation.co.uk/Home.html
We are proud of all our 25 Cadets for their participation in this race and congratulations to them all. Thank you to TEYC for hosting this event and making us feel so welcome.
