K6 at TBYC.
I had my K6 down at the club a few weeks ago and a few people including Nick Elmore have asked if I could bring it down again so that they may have a sail.
So with that in mind I intend to have it at the club over the weekend of the 25/26 September so that people wishing to have a sail can do so.
If anyone would like a sail give me a call or mail so I can spread everyone through the weekend.
You can contact me at [email protected] or [email protected] 07725 590913 or 07802 611599
Regards

If I’ve inadvertently missed your class of boat out and you wish to compete in the race please contact me at your earliest convenience as I won’t be able to sort it out on the day.

Following the success of the Laser Pico as the TBYC Cadet/family boat of choice and numbers soon to exceed 70 in the boat park we are very aware of how much easier it is to train and develop sailing skills when all in the same boats.
As the kids grow in size and ability we would like to guide the next step up to be the RS FEVA, there are already a few in the club and in the race group of Cadet Week. Built in a similar material to the PICO they have good durability and the rig has the asymetric kite for excellent performance.
once we have got a good nucleus of Feva’s back in the club then it is proposed to offer training days to develop the boat handling skills and then Race Training.
If you are interested in the RS FEVA let me know as i am putting a deal together with RS at the moment and you maybe able to take advantage of a good price.
thanks

Thorpe Bay Yacht Club succeeds again….. in holding another great open meeting. This time for a new fleet not seen at TBYC – the Larks and an old fleet resurrected with the Cadets.
21 Larks and 14 Cadets took part in the 6 race series open, superbly run by Alan Willis and his team: Sally, Linda, Lisa, Bev and Alix. We had superb weather and a great breeze which made for some fantastic close racing. I think all who saw them sailing, were very impressed with the Lark.
The Cadet event was won by Max and Francesca Ingall with an impressive (near) clean sweep! We wish them luck in Poland where they will be representing GBR in the World Team!
The Lark event was won by Steve Hall and Si Haigton from Northampton Sailing Club with 11 points.
I have to own up to forgetting to thank 2 other people who helped out at the weekend. Steve Hopper was out with his rib both days to help with rescue cover and was able to take some great photos of the sailing – thanks Steve. But also to Chris Boshier – who not only gave up his weekend’s sailing to sit on the beech as our “Beech-master” but worked with myself and Alan to prepare all the relevant paperwork for the event and entering the results – Thanks very much Chris!

Dan Henderson has just completed a very impressive nationals campaign in the Musto Skiff fleet at Hayling Island, with 74 entrants Dan finished 6th and first junior under 21 in this very competitive and technically demanding class of high performance single handed asymetric trapeze boat.
if you think you can sail then try one of these, just to get one to turn a corner is a great achievement having done a little bit of swimming alongside one on the odd occasion!
well done Dan

hi All,
I hope you had a great weekends sailing, I just have a copule of favours to ask to make getting the results put in quicker and easier for all.
1. If you’re the race officer and the office isn’t open or the duty officer isn’t around to hand the results to, can you put them in the green folder behind the bar which will save us hunting around for them.
2. Can I also ask that if you’re suing a sail with a number other than the one for your boat that you identify this clearly on the sign on sheets as it’s quite tricky to guess otherwise so your result might get accredited to someone else and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.
