Tidal Diamond No. 329
Club Patrol boat users
Following the recent increase in propeller damage to the Club Rib the Sailing Committee would like to advise all crews of the club patrol boats that there has been a change in the manor in which the boats are to be recovered. The boats are to be driven to the side of the slipway and the engine stopped and the crew are to get out and then guide the boat onto the trolley. This is to stop the boats from being driven over the slipway.
After recovery, each engine should be run through with fresh water. The recent problems with the Rib engine were compounded by the state of the cooling system. In an attempt to ensure the longevity of all the club engines we are reminding everyone who uses the boats that this needs to be done.
Thank you everyone for your co operation

Could all members please make sure that the club gates and doors are kept shut and locked even if you are working in the compound. There have been recent reports of compound gates left open with nobody visible and also the gents changing room door being propped open with nobody around.
