having just logged onto the website to check this weeks tides it dawned on me that i simply forgot to thank Martyn Eyre and his team at flightline for all their behind the scenes efforts in running the TBYC website with the web cam and weather station which are a tremendous asset to our club which unfortunately i overlooked in recognizing its importance at the AGM. There is also overdue recognition for all those who regularly add the photo’s and video content especially Barry Duce and Linzi Swindon
so in true better late than never style, thankyou!!

Why Not You ?
Why should the kids and your partner have all the fun? Are you chauffer and cheerleader but stuck on shore and sometimes bored? Do you sometimes stare with envy at the powered boats chasing the sailing boats around, or people aboard our luxury Committee Boat?
Just because you do not want to go sailing, does not mean you cannot be part of club sailing activities, so why not get out there amongst your children and partners?
Many club members are only here for the social side, and that’s great. Hundreds are cadets, and that’s fantastic. Hundreds race, and that’s brilliant. Some only sail casually on a nice day, and that’s terrific. Others want or have to support their family, which is fine as well. Continue Reading »

Saturday from Noon for an afternoon, and then Sunday morning, of training.
We plan to hold 6 or more ‘clinics’ ranging from how to start a race (whether you are in a sailing boat, or on the flags), to how to get the best trim from your sails (whether one sail or three), to racing strategy (whether not being last to becoming National Champion).
It is possible we might get onto the water late afternoon on Saturday for a couple of hours for practical sail trim and race tuition, so bring sailing kit if you might sail, and wet/wind proof and warm clothes, with Buoyancy Aid if you have one, for a support boat experience.
Sea conditions dependant, we intend to bring the Committee Boat into the slipway/shore so everyone can come have a look at our fantastic new asset.
This will be training and activity geared to adults. Whilst Cadets may of course attend clinics, the Cadet Section will be working on keeping younger Cadets occupied.
So if you are interested in taking ‘the next step’, whether it is your first step to knowing what the starting flags mean, or what to do and not do when boats meet on the water, or you are already a good racer but just can’t seem to get past the guy always just in front, we aim to have clinics which appeal to all. We already have two multiple National Champions signed up to spill their secrets, so don’t miss this opportunity to find out how they got to the front of the fleet!
