The 'Cardigan Windows' sponsored Cruiser trip to Solva - scheduled for the Bank Holiday weekend of the 2nd - 5th May has been cancelled.
Delays have meant that only a few cruisers have been launched and the decision has been made to postpone the event, possibly until the Bank Holiday Weekend at the end of May.
Possible new dates will be discussed at the sailing meeting on the 14th May (or possibly before) and if you have any comments please make contact with either- Rear Commodore Sailing - Robin Young, Sailing Secretary - John Leigh or Cruiser Captain - Alan Cooper.
We must make every effort to insure the continuance of this ever popular event.

Welsh Youth Championships - Pwllheli - 26/27 April
Five TBC young sailors took part in the Welsh Youth Championships held over the weekend of the 26th and 27th April at Pwllheli Sailing Club.
Eilish Thomas - Topper
Hanna Campbell - Topper
Jonathon Morris - Topper
Daniel Rowlands - Topper
William Thomas - Topper 4.2
Day one with blustery conditions (18 knot Southerly) saw 105 sailors take to the water with 4ft waves and dolphins joining in - four races were held.
Day two started with no wind but after a 2 hour delay for bacon butties the wind managed a fickle 5 knots and a single race was competeted.
Jonathon (12th overall) and Eilish (18th overall) raced well and justified all the time spent on the water, the future looks bright.
Hanna (35th overall) and Daniel (41st overall) did extremely well but in a fleet of this size and high standard their lack of experience gave them a difficult task and they should be proud of this their first performance at a national level.
William with his smaller sail (he is still only 10yrs) sailed in the regatta fleet and must be commended for his efforts against much older competitors with faster sail configurations.
The TBC youngsters are all at the younger end of the age scale and will several years remaining in the youth ranks promises to the future are positive.
Congratulations to our young sailors the TBC is proud of you 'Keep waving the TBC banner'

Launching Supper on Saturday 19th
A full clubhouse enjoyed a very lively evening.
After an excellent sit down buffet I was able to talk long enough that the masses were suitably warmed up for an entertainment by members of the Youth Squad.
We enjoyed - Music, Poetry, Jokes a Session of lateral thinking exercises and even a bit of Culture with a spirited reading from The Tempest.
The President rounded off the evening with a sincere thank you and everyone went home with a smile on their faces.
Now all we need are a few more boats on the water

Happy Homecoming HARRY!!
With Luck, and the wonders of modern medicine, Harry should be arriving back home in Tresaith some time on Wednesday.
All the best and in time for the launching of his beloved Islay.
We all look forward to seeing Harry back to his former self.
I only have one question " With all that ironwork right next to the compass will navigation be effected? Or is deviation correction built in at the time of the operation for sailors"
Welcome home Mr President.

Weekend Sailing
Couple of Youth sailors went out on Thursday in Toppers in good conditions.
Friday - Force four with plenty of gusts - Youth Sailing Pico and Feva went out both three up and enjoyed greating sailing in very challenging conditions, several capsizes but no broken parts or people. Harvey went out in an Optimist and managed a 'dry sail' in conditions that would have many indoors.
Saturday - Final day of the WYA West Wales Winter Training programme had to be cancelled due to severe wind conditions and eventually we cancelled sailing at TBC at 0930.
Sunday - Closing regatta for the Winter Training as above - TBC youngsters attended Congratulations to William Thomas 10yrs in his Topper who won all three races in the 4.2 sail competition
