The RNLI Pursuit Race has a different start time for each class of boat, starting from 13:30 and finishes two hours later at 15:30 . The idea is the boats should all finish about the same time based on their PN classification.
If you want to enter and your boat class is not listed below please contact me at [email protected] by 10am on Friday to get a start time.
The idea of the race is to support the RNLI and a collection box will be on the club bar for entrants (and anyone) to donate whatever they like.

A big thank you to Nick, Chris, Rod, Julian and Howard for their help in organising and moving boats around the Dinghy Park last Saturday.
As a result there are a few boats that were moved to their allocated positions for this year. I have indicated that your boat was moved in the right hand column of the spreadsheet, whist every effort was made to secure boats as we found them, please check it is appropriately secured over the next few days.
Can all Lasers and Picos please tell their class captains if they are in a different position and I will then amend the plan appropriately.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly.
Enjoy the long Easter weekend at the Club!

Dear Sailing Members,
TBYC Dinghy Park Allocation 2022 – Members only.xlsx
Please use the link above to access this year’s Dinghy Park Allocation. It can be accessed using the password emailed to members, or by contacting the Dinghy Park Officer, Secretary or Bar Manager.
Spaces should have been allocated to all those who have paid for storage this season. The first tab is the list of spaces, boats, and members, the second tab is the visual plan showing the location in the dinghy park. If your sail number is not listed, please email it to the Dinghy Park Officer.
From April, all boats in the Dinghy Park are required to display this years Dinghy Park sticker on the transom. These are provided by the club secretary and available behind the bar.
Each row has spaces wide enough to suit the allocated dinghy or catamaran, however, should it not be suitable, please contact the Dinghy Park Officer.
To minimise movement the larger boats that have sailed the Winter Series have been allocated the same spaces for the summer season. Lasers and Picos have been assigned suitable sizes spaces in no particular order. If those classes wish to swap amongst themselves, please liaise with the class captain then advise me of the swaps or revised order.
Free spaces on the plan may be swapped to, however only if the dinghy is an appropriate size. For example, a Pico will not be assigned a Sprint space. Please contact the Dinghy Park officer if you wish to swap.
Thank you for keeping your space tidy and free from litter and weeds.
Enjoy your boats and happy sailing in 2022.
Jeremy Sandford
TBYC Dinghy Park Officer
