This Sunday, Southend has it’s Triathlon and we all need to be aware that there will be a lot of activity around the club, road, beach and in the water. Our Regatta starts at 12:45 so hopefully most people will be on the water.
The first Triathlon swimmers start at 12:00 swimming from the Shoebury Common slipway and then coming up the beach before Thorpe Bay YC slipway. They cycle through Barling and Wakering, then returning for a run along the Seafront in front of the club. I estimate the first runners will be around 12:45, the cutoff for the race is 16:00. Entrants are parking in the council green car park next to ours.

After the Start and Finish of the Clipper Race being from Southend twice, unfortunately this years 2017-18 race returns to Liverpool.
Many of us had enjoyed the spectacle over the last few years and I am sure it will come back in a few years time.

Would any club member like to manage the club’s raft race entry. We have two rafts, but need someone to get one of them assembled, decorated, crewed and tuned for speed!
If you are that person, take a look at the Rotary Club’s website http://www.thorpebayrotaryevents.co.uk/raftrace.html
to find out what’s required and then email [email protected] to register your interest.

Club member John Boshier has, sadly, passed away leaving Mary, his wife and a son Christopher. John was a member for many years, originally joining to enable him to sail with his son. This was in a Mirror dinghy later John moved onto bigger things with a Sandhopper, in 1981 and John became a leading light in the class, becoming class captain for several years in the late Eighties.
Always a participant in weekend racing and Weekend and Weekday cruising for many years, John was sailing into his mid-eighties with Janet, our club administrator.
He will be greatly missed by family, friends and the Sandhopper class.
