Another Chance to attend a Monique Art Exhibition
Categories:
Following on from her previous successful event, CBYA sailing member, Monique Neyzen, is organising another exhibition, this time in Finestrat, and in a show room, instead of in a sculpture garden. This will be a smaller, but quite different, event. She plans to exhibit about 20 small bronzes of horses, and around 20 drawings of nude models.
The opening will be on Thursday 22 November at 5 pm.

Available to Crew!
Categories:
My wife and I are new to the TOMs, and have only had one training session, with all others being cancelled due to the TOMs Ladder racing on the Thursdays. We are not comfortable with getting involved in TOM racing at this stage. However, I am a Day Skipper and my wife has Competent Crew. We would like to offer ourselves as crew on any larger boats that need crew for cruising or racing. We are retired and can, with a little notice be available as crew for anyone needing some company and / or help. We are available on Saturday 17th November for the 5 Clubs Regatta in Calpe if needed.

Another great CBYA TOMs Ladder Event!
Categories:
Another fun TOMs Ladder event took place on Thursday 8th November. Eighteen CBYA members participated – sailing five TOMs.
This event is designed to encourage those requiring more TOMs race experience. We race with white sails only – no spinnakers – so the sailing is not too demanding. We now generally schedule TOMs Ladder events on Thursdays. Points are accumulated based on race results over a 6 – 8 week period, and prizes are awarded to those with the lowest total points count at the end of each series. This second 2018 TOMs Ladder is scheduled to run until the end of November. The TOMs Ladder has been well supported since its introduction earlier this year.
As normal, the organiser, Chris de Boer, drew the names of the five RCNC-approved TOMs skippers from those available on the day, and also drew the crews for each boat. Surprisingly the crew selections were reasonably balanced, even though two of the boats had four crew, as opposed to three crew only on the others, possibly allowing a slight overall weight advantage to the lighter boats.
Roger Buckle kindly agreed to bring out the RCNC inflatable, lay the course, and act as Race Officer.
The wind was light, so we enjoyed reasonably challenging race conditions.
One TOM had some difficulty getting back into the marina.
We enjoyed a spot of TOM fishing on our return after the racing, and then retired to the RCNC bar.
Note that we also run regular sail training days for those new to TOM sailing. These are currently on Saturdays, but will also be scheduled for Thursdays after the current TOMs Ladder has ended.
Why not come along and join us for future TOMs Ladder and/or TOM sail training events?

Many thanks to Chris for running another great TOMs Ladder event.

Finally – Another fun TOMs Cruise & Raft-up
Categories:
In order to encourage more raft-up participation the CBYA organises TOMs longer-distance cruises and raft-ups each year. The plan being to rent all six TOMs, and to sail them to either Moraira, or Albir, for a raft-up, swim and a picnic tea/late lunch. Safety cover being provided by one (or more) powerboat(s). These cruises generally take 1 – 2 hours each way. We also encourage other CBYA member-owned yachts and motor boats to come along and join the fun.
After two failed attempts to run the event earlier in the year, either due to bad weather, or to lack of safety boats, we finally managed to get the 2018 event arranged for Thursday 25th October. Twenty CBYA members signed up for the event, including at least six RCNC-certified TOMs skippers, and two safety boats. Safety cover was provided by Bob Hodge in his motor boat, and David Hill, of the Sea School Costa Blanca in Altea, in his yellow rib. read more →
