Due to circumstances beyond the club’s control we have had to cancel this event. 

Sorry for any disappointment this may cause. 

Instead we will run an August Bank Holiday Mini series over the three days on a similar format as the normal Pico series so we can all spend plenty of race time on the water having loads of fun as always. 

Now what we do need is a sponsor, so if anyone has any suggestions as to offering a cup of some sort then do please let Mike Thomason know and we can make this an annual event. 

Laser Centre have been asked to let us know about some special deals on race sails, kickers and toestraps and details to follow once received.

Fabulous weather for yesterdays race and particular thanks to Lisa Farrall for assisting at short notice on the committee boat.

I hope everyone remembered their RNLI donation?

I took a few pictures during the race and you can find these here:

Well done to the magnificent seven who braved the howling winds at Seasalter last week, we had 18 – 38 mph winds on the first day, offshore with flat water, cat course, absolutely adrenalin fuelled thumping fun.

Especially well done to Martin Ellis for his 3rd place overall, to Howard Hawkes for his 3rd place on race 1 and also to Gary Burrows and Keith Persin for 6th and 7th on race 3 ( top end of F7).

All in all a great show by the Thorpe Bay Sprinters – well done to all!

It is planned if weather conditions permit to sail Summer Sat 6 that the rescheduled Shoreline race replaces immediately after Summer Sat 8 on Sat 13th August.

I am suppose to be helm of SS3 on the 20th of August as I will be on holiday that weekend. If anyone can swap with me that would be great. Should be able to do any date from 28th of August onwards I do not mind helm or crew and willing to do winter as well. thanks in advance

It has been decided due to Cadet members taking part in the AYC Matt Trophy & the uncertain forecast that the beach BBQ due to be held Sat 16th July will be postponed.

Not looking forwards to that DIY job planned for this saturday?

The ironing pile  is so tall, it keeps falling over?

Your wetsuit is still ripe from the weekend before?

You can’t close the lid on the linen basket, the kids have just emptied out the fridge within a day and the trip to the supermarket is looming?

Well do not dispair, we have the solution. SS3 needs a helm & crew for this saturday points 4, start time is 11:30. So leave that paint brush at home, prop the ironing pile in a corner, let wetsuit dry in bag for next weekend, close toilet door to hide linen basket, send your kids to their friends and order the food online. Simple.

Now all don’t rush at once, first come first served. Please click on link below and see you  saturday.

Thanks
