I've always enjoyed seeing youngsters afloat, training in the Bay. Then last winter I instructed a Day Skipper class in the Club, as I had done at Barry YC when I was a member there. So when I was asked to stand as Principal of the Club's sailing school I was delighted to accept and I look forward to working with Nick Sawyer and other instructors to develop this important area of the Club.

I’ve been sailing with my wife Jackie for approx. 8 years and own a Beneteau First 375 Zaverda which has been extensively updated and is used for cruising. I consider this to be an exciting and challenging time for the Club and hope to ensure that the interests of all member groups are adequately represented.
Jonathan Frost
Committee Member
An enthusiastic but not very able dinghy sailor in my youth I now drive the car and write the cheques in support of my daughter as she travels far and wide with the 420 squad. With two other daughters who have been through the CBYC machine I’m keen to see the club continue to support young sailors in their national ambitions but also to encourage their active participation at the club.
