Cruising

Our active cruiser section extends a very warm welcome to all.

This year we have a full and varied programme with some new events complimenting our much cherished more traditional ones.

The cruising year starts on March 15th with the TYC fitting out supper where we start to finalise our logistical planning for the year ahead and specifically of our lunch time cruise on Easter Monday to a nearby riverside pub.

In addition to our traditional events and much loved Friday evening cruises highlights of the year include cruises to Windsor and in to the heart of the city for the Association of Thames Yacht Club rally’s in the West India Dock’s. We also have a cruiser trailing section with trip’s to Chichester Harbour, Keyhaven and a week in Falmouth.

TYC offers the opportunity to enjoy cruising in company and individual cruising with trophies for the best up river and down river log books awarded at the TYC annual ball.

Other social events for the cruiser section include the October laying up festival and the November mud lark mooring parties.
