Briefing 11am £12 entry

Thanks to all the TBYC racing/safety/rib launch crew. As duty officer and rib driver for last Sundays racing. It was great to have your support and dedication. My thanks go to Steve Hopper, John Glynn, Richard Sands, Carl Sullivan and James Fisher. Racing only happens in snowy, cold & wet conditions if we all join in. Cheers.

The Commodore is enjoying 34’ of heat on the beautiful coastline of Fremantle.

Ben is enjoying the sailing here, so far in winds of 18-27kts. The worlds started yesterday with very challenging conditions and finishing was a good result. Today is very different and we’re waiting for the “Fremantle Doctor “ (the regular sea breeze) to kick in and deliver 20kts. Managed to dodge the sharks so far!

Results can be found here  2017worlds.420sailing.org

Happy New Year to all at TBYC
