Thank you to all of you that supported and participated in the TBYC Sandhopper Open Evening Event.

I’m pleased to report that it was a great success with many new people getting out and managing to enjoy a Sandhopper for the first time. We hope to run another session later in the season, if this is of interest to you please let me know so I can get an idea of numbers.

Thanks again and happy sailing to you all.

Good News! We can run the Nore Race this year! There was some doubt we could get on the pier, but it’s all OK!

Programmes are being posted out to clubs right now. You can also download a copy from www.benfleetyachtclub.org. Follow the link at the bottom of the first page.

More good news – the Prizegiving will be the following Friday night as usual, as we don’t have to invoke the socially distant options considered in the printed program.

It is only about five weeks to the event so please get your entry in as soon as you are able. Thanks.
