Julian Goldie - President
My
father’s interest in sailing meant that I grew up on and around
boats. We spent our holidays on board the family yacht “Rosa
Maria”. I became involved in the Club at an early age, when it
was then situated above the Marina Office.
Tollesbury Cruising Club is a subsidiary of Tollesbury Marina of
which I am currently a partner with Louise. I have been involved
with the management of Tollesbury Marina for the last 24 years
and I enjoy all aspects of sailing and powerboats.

Dave Cooke - Vice Commodore
I
sail 'Nimrodel' a 34ft Westerly Falcon with my wife Jane and my
teenage children Jessica and Rhys, this is my fifth year serving
on the
committee.
Like many others I started my sailing career as a teenager in
dinghies, winning my first trophy for coming last in a regatta
on Windermere in 1980. I started cruising in chartered yachts in
the early 80's and have
owned and kept a boat at Tollesbury since 1999.

A past Commodore of the TCC, started sailing as a teenager, became an Offshore Yachtmaster,

Barry Jones - Editor
Dinghy
sailing in West Mersea in my teens was followed by yachting,
with my wife Stephanie, in 1982 in a Newbridge Navigator based
in Chichester Harbour. Since then have owned a Cutlass 27, a
Nicholson 31, a Scanyacht 290 and a Trident Voyager 35 – Zevkim.
My longest sailing trip to date was the delivery of my Nicholson
31 from Portsmouth to Malta, via the Atlantic coasts of Spain
and Portugal, and the Straits of Gibraltar, in 1992.
I have lived in Tollesbury since retiring.

Keith Macey - Committee Member
I started sailing on the East Coast in 1972 when I purchased a 24ft Y.M. Buccaneer
using the money that I was saving to get married.
After the divorce I started sailing Wayfarers at Deptford Sailing Centre where I met Betty. We have lived in the Village for over three years, and have been sailing out of Tollesbury for the past ten.

David Walkerdine - Commodore
I
currently sail a Moody 34 "Ariel Spirit" with my wife Anwen
although she is for sale (the boat not Anwen!) as we have just
had a little boy called Theo and don't think we will get much
use out of her for the next couple of years. Consequently I will
be available if anyone needs crew!
I have been sailing since I met Anwen 12 years ago and we have
kept our boat in Tollesbury for the past 6 years.

David Knight - Rear Commodore Racing
My
Moody 336, 'Dionysus' is berthed at Pontoon C5.
I have sailed from Tollesbury for the last 9 years and been on the
committee for over 8 years. I generally sail with friends, but this
coming year hope to get my 7 year old son Ryan more interested.

Peter Philpot - Rear Commodore Cruising
I
started sailing at Tollesbury back in the early 70's aboard a
Peter Duck class wooden yacht called "Golden Eye". I
then spent some 20 years racing various yachts at Burnham on Crouch
before I came to my sense's and realised that I should be
cruising! My last boat (recently sold) was "Diana" a Cornish Yawl which I sailed back from the
Beaulieu
River to Tollesbury and simply just enjoyed sailing the East
coast again. Looking now to buy a larger yacht, when I can find
one that suits!!

Louise Goldie - Club Secretary
My
first taste of sailing was in South America, where I grew up, on
board a large traditional boat. While studying in Oxford, I met
Julian
and sailed with his father on board the family yacht “Rosa Maria”.
I
became secretary of the Cruising Club in the mid 1980’s and have
since
become more involved in the day to day running of the Club, Bar and
Restaurant.
