Trinidads TTYA/TTSA

Hurricane warning as given to me on Ocean Cloud.

The TTYA is based in Carenage Bay where you will find an anchor symbol.

The government of Trinidad and Tobago passed a deed of gift to the TTYA in 1976 granting the land to use so as to further the interests of sailing,which as it turned out was one of the best ideas any government ever had.

At 10º North latitude, 60º West longitude. Trinidad is the perfect choice for sailing and for storing your sailboat. Our central location, adjacent to Venezuela and the Caribbean Islands, makes us an ideal home base for exploring this exciting region. We are an association of members, with superb anchorage, mooring facilities and a haulout yard… Amenities include a swimming pool, restaurant, launderette and bar on the waters edge.

TTYA stands for Trinidad and Tobago Yachting Association,we made use of their very nice facilities when we arrived there from Venezuela on Ocean Cloud,our Endurance 37.Its very much a family club but racing is keenly supported,some top carribean sailors are TTYA members.The club is in Chaguaramas,which is all but one bus stop from the end of the road,which ends in whats now a very busy yachting hub just down the road.The TTYA is open to the winds that blow down from Port of Spain,the main town in Trinidad,this wind can blow untill early evening buts always gone by lights out time and good sleep is ensured,we left our boat on moorings some eight months while we flew back to Cape Town to re start back in Hout Bay after a years cruise.Most of these pictures are from Springtime,an ex Durban and Hout Bay yacht,they give a good impression of the club and its facilities,which I highly recomend!
