Hello everybody

Fancy swaping your wetsuit/trapeze harness for some oars and exercise?

BYC are planning their first 14 mile rowing race around Canvey Island on Sat 3rd Sept, start at 2:15pm.

Please click on the link for full details.

I would like to get at least get a couple of crews/boats (i’m up for the exercise) for some friendly interclub rivalery.

Entry fee is £3 per person.

If anyone has knowledge of or owns a suitable rowing/skulling machine (preferably not from the gym nor 240v!)  or fancies taking part, please drop me a line.

If the link does not work, go on the BYC website for all the info.

Thanks, simon

TBYC 2011 Shoreline Race Entry FormV2

It is planned if weather conditions permit to sail Summer Sat 6 that the rescheduled Shoreline race replaces immediately after Summer Sat 8 on Sat 13th August.

The sunsail race series is on again and TBYC had six boats enter last year, made up of teams of friends from various fleets.
The sandhopper team that won the event last year have entered for this year which is over the weekend of 24/25 September, racing is held in the solent and the 40′ boats are brand new they take 12 persons you also sleep on them overnight, cost is £1180 per boat so £100 per person for a weekends sailing and accommodation! bargain.
Get your team together and get entered, contact [email protected] and mention TBYC and Martin Binnendijk to get the discount.

It has been decided due to Cadet members taking part in the AYC Matt Trophy & the uncertain forecast that the beach BBQ due to be held Sat 16th July will be postponed.
