Do you have a collection of unwanted sailing related items in your loft/garage/cupboard under the stairs?

Our Boat Fayre on Sunday 25th March is the perfect opportunity to have a spring clean and sell on your unwanted/outgrown wetsuits, boots, sails etc….

Pitches can be booked either through the office by contacting Janet on 01702 587563, [email protected] or through the bar @ only £10.00 for advance bookings, or pitches can also be purchased on the day for £15.00.

The Fayre will start at 08:00 BST (remember clocks turn forward at 01:00 to 02:00).

All proceeds will go towards the Rib Replacement Fund.  Donations greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Martin Swindon

Do you write all the racing dates from the programme onto a Calendar ?  Why not just buy the TBYC Racing Calendar 2012-2013 and save the trouble. The Calendar contains all the racing and many other dates pre printed, with load of great photos from last seasons by Linzi.

The Calendar doesn’t start until April so you can preorder and pick it up after the middle of March.

If you would like to order one then you can do so by posting a cheque to TBYC for £12 before the 4th March. Otherwise you can order directly from www.lulu.com and search for TBYC, however unfortunately this option with P&P is over £15.

The Calendar was produced at no cost to the club and we hope that a small amount from each will go to the Cadets Fund Raising. If popular we will also hope to produce one for next year. If you want to see before ordering there is a couple already in the club.

Hi All, for all you armchair sailors, and following popular demand I am sponsoring a trophy for the best placed TBYC virtual boat in the game. For those of you who have not entered or who do not know about it, then here are a few facts. The virtual race mirrors the actual Volvo ocean race covering 8 legs over 9 months. The game has in excess of 120000 virtual boats. leg 1 is complete but we will run each leg as a race in a series and load the entrants on Hal’s racing programme as a series. The series will have 2 discards for the 8 legs to enable newcomers to join in and possibly win!!!. After the first leg the top five TBYC boats were 1st Daren Fitchew, 2nd Jeremy Sandford, 3rd Steve Healey, 4th Steve Hopper and 5th David Hopper.

The next leg starts on Sunday 11th Dec 2011 so get registered and join in the banter and fun!!!

You can register at http://www.volvooceanracegame.org/play

Then please leave a comment on this article so we can enter you and your boat in the regatta.

Happy armchair sailing Steve Hopper
