TTSA

The Trinidad & Tobago Sailing Association (TTSA) has become our base in Trinidad for the past 3 years. TTSA is located on Carenage Bay east of boatyard row.
















The open air Spinnaker Bar is a great place to relax and take in Trinidad's sailing scene.















The TTSA dinghy dock is used primarily by the international cruisers, as the members come and go to their boats on the mooring by club launch. The main docks are available to visiting internationals to bring their boats for daytime use during the week.













The Cajobe Restarant serves good food at reasonable prices, and is operated by "Kajobe Candy" and her parents.

There is an adjacent boatyard owned by TTSA, with a small Travel-Lift. 40 foot is about the largest size vessel that can be safely accommodated.

















It is an absolute joy to watch the young Trini sailors learning to sail in the associated Sailing Association's well organized training program. This program is producing some really crackerjack young sailors who presence will be felt on the international sailing scene.















The affiliated Sailing Association has excellent facilities with a wide range of sailboats available for training and for hire.
















Several Caribbean sailing regattas are staged out of TTSA, and race day festivities really liven up the club on weekends.















We enjoy meeting and being around Trini families, and their is no place better to "lime" with the locals (just hang out) than around TTSA's pool.














Ed "The Pan Man" is an American artist & sculptor who sailed here, and fell in love with Trinidad's foremost art form, the Pan. He has performed with some of Tridad's very best pan bands. As you can see Ed pays a lot more attention to his music that his boat maintenance...

















Regarding boat maintenance, the work shed on the back lot of the TTSA grounds is available to visiting Yachties for their projects. It is really great to have a place to get those dirty / dusty jobs off the boat, and have a secure area to spread out. We did some extensive work on our hard dinghy in this shed.
















Hart's Cut, immediately south TTSA's mooring field is perhaps the best anchorage in the Chaguaramus area. The beautiful Pui Trees that surround Harts Cut and TTSA bloom twice a year to mark the seasons; first in January to mark the beginning of the dry season, and the second blooming in May indicates that the wet season is starting. Does anybody else see Big Bird here?






















S/V Jean Marie lies quietly with her head to the northeast Trades. Things can get a little boisterous when the wind pipes up, so bring good anchors and plenty of chain!
