Successful Dinghy Relocation
Categories:
Many thanks to all CBYA members who came along to help with the dinghy relocation on Friday 25 May. They have now all been removed from the El Portet beach, and have been relocated to a temporary secure location whilst we review our options, and related costs, for relaunching the CBYA Dinghy Section.
If anyone has any suggestions regarding an alternative, secure location where we can store our dinghies, trailers, a safety boat, an outboard motor and other associated equipment, and easily launch, sail and recover our boats, please let us know by clicking HERE.

Malicious Attack on CBYA Dinghy Section!
Categories:
CBYA dinghy section suspended until further notice due to a malicious attack!
Those who turned up for Dinghy Day on Wednesday 9th May had an unpleasant surprise. All three dinghies had been holed, our inflatable safety boat had been slashed down both sides, and our latest replacement outboard had been stolen, despite being secured with a very strong chain, and being locked in our strongbox. There was no damage to any of the other boats on the El Portet beach, so obviously the objective was to put the CBYA Dinghy section out of action.
The rock and rope shown above was used to smash the boats. read more →
