Information on compound and hoist fee charges

At the SGM on 10th May 2016, members agreed to some changes to compound and hoist fees. The changes were proposed to allow the club to complete its migration to our new membership and subscription system “Webcollect”, which does not support square foot or linear foot charging. At the SGM, members agreed to change the method of charging for compound space and hoist fees to banded rates, based on similarly sized boats. Members further agreed the groupings of boats into bands, and the rates applicable to each band. Details can be found in my presentation to the SGM, which can be read by following this link:

If you believe any of the dinghy classes or individual cruisers are wrongly classified, please email the Tudor executive committee on executive_committee providing relevant details, and we will consider it at the next executive committee meeting.

Langstone Harbour Race Weekend – Friday 3rd June / Saturday 4th June / Sunday 5th June

The 8th annual Langstone Harbour Race Weekend will be taking place on 3rd- 5th June 2016. There will be 3 down harbour races on the Saturday and 3 on the Sunday. We are welcoming back the Laser 4000, Laser Vago, Buzz and ISO class associations to the event, who are using the weekend as part of their traveler series. This year, we are cramming the normal 3 days of competition into just 2, because of the unsuitable tides over both May bank holiday weekends. There will be a social at Tudor Sailing Club on Friday 3rd June, with food provided by members of Langstone Sailing Club (as we are not able to enjoy Langstone SC’s normal hospitality this year). Locks SC will be hosting a BBQ on Saturday afternoon following the racing, with prize giving hosted by TSC on the Sunday. There will be a race briefing on the Friday evening at approximately 8pm, which will be repeated on Saturday morning for those who are unable to make the Friday night. A notice of race, including start times and other important information can be found on the event website – www.langstonerace.com

Cruiser Volunteer Required – Saturday 4th June and/or Sunday 5th June 2016

The Langstone Harbour Race Weekend organising committee are looking for a cruiser owner who might be able to help support the LHRW 2016 by acting as a committee boat. The committee boat that has been supporting the event for the past 7 years is unavailable on the LHRW this year and we are looking for 1 or 2 cruisers owners from Tudor, who might be able to stand in at the last minute. Locks Sailing Club provide a full race committee to run the racing programme. An overnight marina berth in Southsea marina will be arranged and paid for during the weekend. The race committee will provide full provisions for the weekend. And the LHRW organising committee will offer a reward for the cruiser owner(s) at the prize giving ceremony (normally in the form of a good single malt!).

If you are able to offer support for this fantastic spectacle of dinghy racing, please contact Hannah Barnes, commodore
