The 5th May saw the annual OGA vs TSC race. As usual we tried to make this a two day event but as usual we failed. OGA numbers were down with many regulars having other commitments. Those who did come had other things they had to do on the Sunday. But we had the largest TSC turnout we can…

The boat Jumble yesterday, was very successful with our stallholders being happy with their takings, and some good bargains to be had. The day was probably helped by the weather. I would welcome feedback whether to run a similar event next year. Thanks to Jenny, Clou and Clare and everyone who provided the cakes. The Club made just under…
A discouraging forecast meant that numbers were down for the Tollesbury Smack and Classic Race, sailed in winds gusting from Force 5 to 7. Two Classic yachts came to the line and at the finish only a few seconds separated them on corrected time. TSC’s ‘Cygnet of Arden’ took Line Honours but the race was won by ‘Framat’, I…

The rain also held off until the race had finished. ‘Rhumba’ sailed a great race as usual, finishing within a minute of the much longer Bavaria and taking the race on corrected time. ‘Rhumba’ sailed so fast, they even had sufficient water to get back into the…

The…
As we headed into 2016, work continued to complete the jig. Stringers were added for the chines and gunwhales and the whole jig was screwed to the floor and trued up. Then I measured the whole thing again and was still happy that the dimensions were ‘OK’. Did I mention in chapter 1 that ‘CNC’ means ‘Computer Numerical Control?….
