Unfortunately Boatacs are closing their seafront shop this week, so we will need to shop at either TCS or Boatacs in London Road, Westcliff for those last minute emergencies and regular chandlery.

All,

please take a look at the links to the SSI and the start times for the pursuit race on Sunday the 22nd.

If I’ve inadvertently missed your class of boat out and you wish to compete in the race please contact me at your earliest convenience as I won’t be able to sort it out on the day.

Pico Summer Series 2010 Results – http://www.tbyc.org/pico-racing-2010/

Dates for Cadet Week 2011

Monday 01st August – Friday 05th August 2011

Following the success of the Laser Pico as the TBYC Cadet/family boat of choice and numbers soon to exceed 70 in the boat park we are very aware of how much easier it is to train and develop sailing skills when all in the same boats.
As the kids grow in size and ability we would like to guide the next step up to be the RS FEVA, there are already a few in the club and in the race group of Cadet Week. Built in a similar material to the PICO they have good durability and the rig has the asymetric kite for excellent performance.

www.rsfeva.org/

once we have got a good nucleus of Feva’s back in the club then it is proposed to offer training days to develop the boat handling skills and then Race Training.

If you are interested in the RS FEVA let me know as i am putting a deal together with RS at the moment and you maybe able to take advantage of a good price.

thanks

Just a quick post to thank everyone for a wonderful cadet week.  We all had a brilliant time and are looking forward to next year already!

The Rainbow Family

well done to the 147 cadets and their respective parents for a tremendously well supported and appreciated Cadet Week 2010.
TBYC at its very best.
The enthusiasm is truly infectious with the behaviour and politeness of our Cadets being first class.
Special Thanks to the Group Leaders, Racing Sharks Ian Little & Rupert Snow, Barracudas Mike Thomason, Stingrays Mark Petty-Mayor, these guys with their respective helpers take on a huge responsibility and are tasked to ensure an enjoyable week on the water and as usual surpassed expectation.
Beverly Warrington once again stepped into the breach as director of operations with all the deserved plaudits.
There are many parents who helped all the above achieve the weeks full programme of events from refuelling in the Bosuns Hut to Road Crossing Patrols which are vital to the safety of our Cadets as young as 4 years.
Final thank you to all those without Cadets doing the week who still took a weeks holiday out from work or retirement to help and all the effort really ensures a good future for both our Club and Sport of Sailing.

many thanks to you all,

Peter
