I know that this is a bit on the late side to post for Easter, but my crew has gone to sunnier climes for Easter. This little point makes sailing my National 12 on my own a wee bit tricky. So would any of our cadets care to help me out over Easter with a bit of rope pulling in the front end? I may even go as far a buying an Easter Egg as an incentive!!
If interested please call 01702 205297/07860 737544

Race Officer training and Committee Boat familiarisation.
Sunday 15th April 2012
The tide is out so there is no racing – it’s time to learn or renew your Race Officer skills and look over the new Committee Boat.
The Committee boat will be moored at the slipway. We will be running sessions at 10 00am, 11.00am and 12 midday.
Apart from familiarising yourself with the new Committee Boat you will be able to learn and discuss Race Officer skills hands-on on the boat.
If you have been allocated a Race Officer or Assistant Race Officer duty and feel the need to brush up on your understanding and to see the new Committee Boat – or you just consider that you need some hands-on Race Officer training for future use – these sessions are for you. All are welcome at all levels.
If you would like to attend one of these sessions please email [email protected] as soon as possible so that we can assess the level of turn out and allocate times. If you have a time preference then please let us know.

Throughout the winter we have run organised coaching on Cadet nights, this would not have been possible without the expert guidance of our coaches all of whom provided sessions which were all extremely useful, interesting, educational and above all fun.
I would like to thank Rupert, Mike Thomason, Ken Herve, Mark Petty-Mayor, Johnno Gillies and Alex Farrell for delivering such excellent sessions.
We are finalising plans for the next few months – which we hope will now include outdoor and water based activities.
The final winter session is this Thursday, Mike will be outlining how to rig a Pico and no doubt explaining how to tune it to ensure you stand the best chance of winning TOPS races this year.
We look forward to seeing you then.
Mike

Do you write all the racing dates from the programme onto a Calendar ? Why not just buy the TBYC Racing Calendar 2012-2013 and save the trouble. The Calendar contains all the racing and many other dates pre printed, with load of great photos from last seasons by Linzi.
The Calendar doesn’t start until April so you can preorder and pick it up after the middle of March.
If you would like to order one then you can do so by posting a cheque to TBYC for £12 before the 4th March. Otherwise you can order directly from www.lulu.com and search for TBYC, however unfortunately this option with P&P is over £15.
The Calendar was produced at no cost to the club and we hope that a small amount from each will go to the Cadets Fund Raising. If popular we will also hope to produce one for next year. If you want to see before ordering there is a couple already in the club.

I wish to record my displeasure with the actions of the race officer and his team yesterday, Sunday January 29th.
Just because our new committee boat has cooking facilities does not mean that they should be used if such action could be detrimental to competitors. The smell of bacon around the committee boat and as far as 100m downwind was so strong that I almost retired after 2 laps and my third lap was impeded by an overwhelming desire to head straight for the club kitchen. Conversations that I heard seemed more concerned with whether ketchup or brown sauce was favourite than the wind conditions.
Come on chaps, have some heart.
