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/

Well done to our second National Champion of the year Chris Tillyer who successful beat 48 other Sprints at Grafham Water this weekend to be the 2020 National Champion. 7 Sprints in total represented TBYC at the event.

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.

Thanks to the very supportive membership we have the largest Winter Series entry ever! Winter storage is also over subscribed.
We look forward to having over 100 boats sailing throughout the winter.

Members who have not entered the Winter Series or Storage are kindly asked to remove their boats from the Dinghy Park by close of play next Sunday 4th October.

A volunteer helm and crew are required for this coming Sunday 27th September . There is a 9.30 race start time. Please reply to this message or contact me directly.
Many Thanks
