Congratulations to the TBYC Endeavour 2022 winners, Allen Burrell & Paul Beasley in Bluejacket. Thank you to Wes Absolom and Harrison Floyd for officiating the race and dealing with the challenging light conditions. Special thanks to all of the Sandhopper owners that gave their boats so readily for the race and then supported today and the fantastic volunteers as ever. There was some great close racing in some challenging conditions and multiple winners in the races today, proving how close the competition was!

Hi All, I have put together a new Sandhopper T Shirt for this year. https://bit.ly/3N31ky0 if you want to amend it to have your boat name on it, just add to your basket, go into edit and you can change what ever you like. (Remember to delete the original purchase from your basket otherwise you will end up with two!) You can also change the T shirt basis from Mens to Womens or the Style or make a Jumper… Its up to you.. Its easier or a tablet or pc/mac rather than a phone as the text is a little small!

We have now concluded the Adult Sailing Support Sessions for the Winter as we now have changed seasons and will be out on the water. All of the sessions were recorded and the packs are now available to download. We will be continuing our support of Beginner Adults, but will be taking a break for a couple of weeks to gather our thoughts and plans.
Please note: these sessions are not formal training. They are sharing of experiences from the Sandhopper Fleet as well as many other sailors from the Club, we are not qualified coaches. For formal training we suggest that you approach the RYA or other qualified coaches.
Below you will see the details of what subjects were covered in Q1 2022, these were recorded on Zoom (now on You tube) and the slide packs have been made available with the original links to reference material and videos used. The sound quality varies, but the packs and links in the slides should help.
Session 1
Club Induction, different boats at TBYC, Basics – Parts of a boat, Port/Starboard
