RACE OFFICER / ASSISTANT RO TRAINING NIGHT
WEDNESDAY 18th MAY at 8pm
Alan Willis is running his popular training session on how to be a Race Officer next Wednesday 18th May at TBYC club main bar.
The night will focus on Setting the Start Line and Setting the Course but will also cover everything you need to know on how to run a race and have lots of tips on stress free race management plus an opportunity to ask questions!
If you are RO or ARO this year – especially at the beginning of the season – now’s the time for experienced hands to brush up their knowledge and for new ROs to learn the ropes.
Even if you are not RO / ARO this year come along and learn how the starts work – it may help you get off the line better! And at least you will know what the flags actually mean….

Next Saturday 21st May is the beginning of the Summer Saturday Series.
This is calling all Cadets to join in with the adult racing using a special Cadet Buoy.
The races will be approximately 50 minutes long and use a shorter course. Perfect for 11 to 15 year olds! Any class of dinghy, helm and crew or single handed.
Cadets: All you need to do is turn up at least one hour before the race and (optional) find me. I will help you understand the course, brief you on the number of laps and even get you on the water!
Remember there are club Picos and a RS Feva available on a first come first served basis.
So, let’s have a big turn out for our first BIG RACE on Saturday 21st May. This week’s race starts at 11.03 for Cadets.
Your guide, but I will explain it all on Saturday.

Parent and Cadet 2016 Season Briefing
This Friday at 6-7pm we are going to hold a short briefing for Parents and Cadets. We will go through opportunities for new members, Friday Cadet night, training, club boats, Pico racing and Cadet club racing. You will get a chance to put names to faces and meet those people who have volunteered to run this year’s events. Cadets will get an introduction to cadet night from older Cadets, be taught what and where they can play, and most importantly get a chance to meet and socialise with the other cadets. I hope to see you there and aim to give you the confidence to get involved and help make this year an enjoyable and rewarding one for the TBYC Cadets.
Food
Our caterer Dave will be providing burgers, hot dogs and chips so why not get a quick bite to eat this Friday.
CADET Racing
This weekend sees the start of the 2016 racing season for Adults and Cadets. This year, every club series race will also be a cadet race. All participating cadets will start from the Committee Boat on the second start and race a windward-leeward course, first beating to the Inflatable Cadet Buoy, then running down to the leeward mark (last course number on the back of the Committee Boat). You will continue to lap until hooted by the race officer team. Remember to sign on as a CADET in the Bosuns hut.
