Dear Members,
Having now moved into Tier 3 and with infections currently rising in the local area a decision has been made by the General and Sailing Committees to currently suspend racing at the club. We are aware that RYA Tier 3 guidelines do still allow racing to continue.
Many factors were taken into account when making our decision and included the clubs duty of care to all members including the volunteers for Rib duties and race management.
This means racing on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th December is cancelled.
The toilets and access to the dinghy park will remain open to members.
Members may still currently go free sailing but nothing will be organised by the club.
If members use the water please take into account Club Notice 8 issued on the 6th November which again becomes applicable.
The decision to suspend racing will be reviewed again prior to the Frozen sheets race currently scheduled for Saturday 2nd January 2021.
Regards
Adrian Bunting
Commodore TBYC.

I am pleased to announce that this weekend will see the Winter Series back in action!
As with all these events recently there is a Risk Assessment to cover what we do. Please click on the updated version below and check that you can conform to the guidance. It is part of the Winter Series Entry that you have read the relevant RA’s so please do.
There will be another out soon which will cover the clubhouse and changing rooms. This one is for all aspects of the racing.
I very much look forward to seeing you all again soon.

In a recent post about sailing during Lockdown, it was said:
“Check a weather forecast just before going afloat this can be found on the club website https://www.tbyc.org/weather-station/ ”
Our weather station can sometimes have its errors and the RNLI Weather is no longer available from our website, why we get errors and how to get the RNLI Weather data can be found by reading https://www.tbyc.org/weather-station-notes/

Hi all as always the rules and guidance that we have to consider whilst administrating each element of our club are continually changing. However we as a committee pride ourselves in trying to keep ahead of the curve.
This now focuses us in how and if we can reopen the changing rooms. We see this as a priority with winter sailing now looming. Fortunately lots of work around social distancing and possible layout has already been done. We now need in light of changing guidelines to workout if we don’t fall foul of the rules and guidelines then implementing our plan.
With this element of the club like many others before there is a process and we will at all times report to you the members how this will work or if not possible at this time our thought process why it can not.
Assuming we can there will as always be guidance on how we can use this facility under the restrictions imposed during Covid 19. This guidance as always will be born from planning, execution, risk assessment and issue of guidance.
In the mean time stay safe enjoy the water, our fantastic club and we will continue to make it our priority to keep TBYC a safe environment during these unprecedented times
Kind Regards Steve Hopper Commodore

All those who applied for above we now have your Winter storage stickers please collect from me over this weekend when I will be around during sailing times.For those of you storing Picos i would ask that you attend the club either between 1030hrs – 1400hrs on saturday or Sunday immediately after racing finishes to assist putting on the racks as I intend to sail first on sunday weather permitting! Those of you not staying for the winter it is important your boats are removed this weekend. Those with miscellaneous sailing equipment in the dinghy park i.e parts of windsurfers etc are asked to remove from the racks as these are to be used and anything you no longer wish to use please dispose of rather than leave lying in the dinghy park for somebody else to dispose of. There is no room for trailers to be left in the dinghy park unless they have there respective boat on them which has paid winter storage.
Regards Adrian.
