If you ever wonder why the cruising section enjoy their sport so much, see a short video I took in September about 2 hours east of the River Dart, en route to Portland Bill.

On Tuesday 25 November we have a talk by the Rayleigh Sub Aqua Club on scuba diving.  This should be a lively evening and I hope to see you at the club ready for a 8.30pm start.  Members of the Cruising Section and club members and their guests are welcome.  The talk will include a run down on equipment, training and some of the recent dive trips enjoyed by club members.  The talk will finish with local wrecks in the Thames estuary.  Please join us!

Just a quick note to thank all who have helped me over the last 5 years,without your help the club wouldnt be in the position we find it now.

We have 80 boats entered in the winter series,we have had Cadets winning National championships,we have held National Championships and various open meetings,new mens showers with new ladies showers on the way and a new slipway being built during 2009,we also have training schemes in place that other clubs would love to have, and as long as we keep up this momentum TBYC will continue to flourish and grow into what could be considered one of the best yacht clubs in the country.

Have a great Christmas and a happy New year.
