TBYC will be supporting the annual BARTS BASH this year by holding our Barts Bash Trophy race on Sat 12 Sept at 1730hrs. YES THIS SATURDAY as there is no racing scheduled for the sunday due to tides.Please support this worthy event and we ask that all sailors register direct with the Barts Bash foundation to give a donation of your choice.It will be a mass start and open to cadets as well.

Winter 2019-20 Prize giving has not been forgotten and will be recognised  when we are able to gather for a celebration at the club. The Cadet Whalley cup for 2019 is also yet to be awarded. This seasons Prize giving again will be arranged when we can celebrate as a group at the club. Nothing has been forgotten and I’m sure we would all like if possible to celebrate together even if it does mean waiting that bit longer.

Can anyone cover this duty for me I have injured my shoulder and cannot do it I’m afraid

This Sunday we plan to hold the inaugural running of the McKinlay Cup – named in recognition of one of our senior members and trustee of the club -Ann McKinlay.

It will be the first of the 2 races to be held on Sunday. The 2nd being a points race only. Both will count to series points.

We hope there will be a good turn out to honour this event and Ann.

Same start time as advertised 1030hrs but due to popular demand a Trophy Race around the cans will now be sailed.This will not be a long distance race or Pursuit race due to light wind forecast. The Trophy race is stand alone ,will be the only race sailed and will not count towards any points races.

Please don’t forget the Club B-B-Q afterwards.

It is our intention to run the Shoreline Trophy on Sunday. Start time as publicised. The course will be on the white board outside of the Race Hut. Please pay attention to the mark roundings in the text – not necessarily the diagram.

On Monday will will hopefully run the 2 Sunday Points races.

This is all wind and weather permitting and may change at short notice.

TBYC may be unable to accommodate all dinghies wishing to race or be stored at the club this year simply due to the amount of boats currently kept at the club therefore early application is needed to assist allocation and decisions. The current 220 boats in the dinghy park plus Sandhoppers and Cruisers will just not fit! There will be storage for those wishing just to request storage for lasers and picos but this will be on a first come first served basis as this will be on and in the racks. There will be limited storage elsewhere for other classes as well. The application forms and money needs to be with the club secretary before the 18th Sept so that a winter plan can be made before lift out. Any late payments will incur a £20 admin fee and even less likelihood of a space.  It’s a blunt message as there is no easier way to say it and the earlier we organise it the more chance of granting most applications. Janet will email members with costs and application forms for completion.
