The Clubhouse and Bar will be closed until further notice. The Sloe Gin and Casino Night are cancelled. Keep an eye out for ‘Signals’ for further updates and information regarding future work parties etc. That’s the short and sweet version. I was going to start with ‘It is with great regret’ but in my mind it kept sounding like…
31 cadets took to the water last week and enjoyed a fabulous few days of sailing and fun. The weather was pretty much perfect for once and the instructors are now so well practised at running the two fleets, it really all ran like clockwork. It was brilliant to see a fleet of 14 oppie sailors! There were trips…
Satisfaction Survey 2019: Your club – your chance to have a say Regardless of your reasons for joining the club and how you spend the time when you visit, we want you to feel satisfied. We know it’s not always easy for you to tell us directly how you feel, or what you want us to do differently, so…
Following the awesome effort during October, Tollesbury Parish Council and Tollesbury Sailing Club arranged a follow up “Washdown” to prepare Tollesbury Hard for the forthcoming season. The progressive removal of mud from the Hard is enabling a large section of the Hard to be recovered, which means cleaner launching and recovery and also enables launching further down the Hard,…
The Dusseldorf Boat Show 2019 My memories of the last few London Boat Shows (LBS) were that you had to fight your way past dozens of stands selling expensive cars, garden furniture, BBQ’s and those wonderful widgets for preparing food which look great when demonstrated but take the tops of your fingers off when you try them at home,…
Saturday evening (13th October) saw the club full to the rafters once more for one of our ever popular quiz evenings. In fact if they get any more popular we will need to consider building an extension!! Many thanks to John Hall, quizmaster for the evening, and his family who assisted him. He had obviously spent a lot of…
Always a good race, the light winds made for a challenging sail and gave the smaller boats an advantage, as the larger ones could not get anywhere near their potential hull speeds. The tide did most of the work for them with the tide turning just as the leading boats reached the top of Osea Island. The race was…
The rain failed to stop the crowds turning out and the party atmosphere went on all day. Sadly, ‘Sport England‘, our main sponsors for the build, were unable to attend. Essex County Council gave us £20,000 and Sue Lissemore, one of their councillors, did us the honour of cutting the tape with the help of a couple of our…
Former Paralympic sailing star Hannah Stodel has crossed the finish line of the Sevenstar RORC Round Britain and Ireland Race in Cowes 11 days 10 hours and 7 minutes after starting the race on board Class 40 Region Normandie. Among her crew was ex-TSC cadet – Will Rogers (long with Tim Atkins and Quentin Bes-Green). Many of Will’s family…
It was good to see some Tollesbury boats competing over at Mersea this week, and also to see our RIB Stag 2 out on loan for the week. The racing had everything from a cancelled first day due to too much wind, to waiting around for over two hours in the river for the slightest puff to allow racing…
