Colin Thorpe, Sailing Club Manager Admin, scm@tudorsailing.org.uk  Women in Sport Event  Hannah & Yvonne with Stephen Morgan Women in Sport On Friday Hannah Barnes and Yvonne Adams represented Tudor at a ‘Leading Women in Sport in Portsmouth’ event held at Fratton Park. Organised by Steven Morgan MP and his team, the event focussed on what barriers prevent women and girls participating in the vast sporting opportunities available in the city.Representatives from gymnastics to synchronised swimming attended the conference and topics ranged from funding to venue access. There was even an in depth and fascinating presentation from Portsmouth University on sports bras!!It was was evident that the panel were given plenty to consider by the end of the day.Yvonne Adams, Rowing Captain, rowing@tudorsailing.org.uk  Rowing to FSMBCRowing Expedition Sunday saw the first of our planned rowing ‘expeditions’ to Fareham Sailing and Motorboat Club. What a fantastic day we had! We left Tudor at 7.15 and crept along Portsmouth Creek in fairly shallow waters. Conditions were perfect ; no wind, no waves and sometimes no water!! Our journey took us to Portchester Castle for a photo shoot, although this was probably not the best time of day to capture us at our best.From here we rowed to Wicor Marine and the salt Cafe for coffee and cake. Here we met with the Crazy Boys and our very own Michelle and Maggie, who had cycled to join us. Having bolstered the cafe’s profits we headed up Fareham Creek.  Rowers at FSMBC Rowers at FSMBC As the photos suggest, we were given a really warm welcome in their lovely clubhouse. We enjoyed their hospitality and made new friends. Two hours later they pushed us off their pontoon and we headed home.We arrived back at 16.00 and although we were a little weary I think it came as a surprise to us all to find we had rowed 18.2 miles!!!It was a fantastic day. Thank you to all who supported the event and a special thank you to Rory Goodenough for organising it. On to the next one..Yvonne Adams, Rowing Captain, rowing@tudorsailing.org.uk |

Mark Swallow is giving a talk on dinghy racing, and there is food available SCM help will be available either side of the talk. Colin Thorpe, Sailing Club Manager, scm@tudorsailing.org.uk LHB LNtM Local Notices Now it seems like winter is over and more people are thinking about getting back onto the water, please take time to familiarise yourself with the Langstone Harbour local notices to mariners. https://www.langstoneharbour.org.uk/local-notices-to-marinersOne of the notices still in force is that people are not allowed to land on Long Island. The site is managed by the RSPB and is nesting spot. Failure to follow this direction could constitute an offence under schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Any person requiring access to the islands should contact the RSPB directly at langstone.harbour@rspb.org.uk.Please do not ruin the reputation of the club by being seen to land on the island and then return to our slipway! Nicola Craig, Environmental Officer, environmental@tudorsailing.org.uk Rowing News Well that’s a wrap! Saturday saw the last of the rowing winter series and nature made sure that it finished in style.In a cold, brisk NE wind we took to the waters on a shortened course. They headed north and rounded Trump. She was swinging on her morning making the first mark tricky for 7 gigs to negotiate!! From there it was a hard row against a spring tide to the south mark. At the bottom of the harbour it was rough and the course took them into the teeth of the wind before they could turn for the home.Back in the club stories were shared, boats were baled out and some very dishevelled, cold rowers were treated to Crazy Rich’s steak and ale pie. (For those who stayed long enough, there was even cheese and port).Ian Ducane, having built half the fleet presented the beautiful trophies made by Martino Pani. The winner of the trophy for the visiting clubs was Rowsea from Seafarers Sailing Club. The veteran’s trophy was won by Salacia and the overall winner of the series was Navigator.Congratulations and thank you to all who took part, it’s early days and we appreciate your patience when things don’t quite go according to plan. A big thank you to Martino for organising the event and of course thank you to the bar and galley teams who helped make everyone so welcome.A shout out to Linda B and Alison W who did their Power Boat training with Hannah in these conditions and who were also frozen when then finally came ashore after 2 hours at sea. They passed, so we can all be reassured that we are in safe hands!!!Yvonne Adams, Rowing Captain, rowing@tudorsailing.org.uk |
| Ebb & Flow Some slight tweaks to the formatting this week. The text is larger following some comments that it was very small. This is a tricky on with web and email where the formatting is more open to interpretation and adjustment in the browser or email client than with a printed text document or PDF. Hopefully things are looking a little better for those reading this on mobile devices now. I have also included the Diary Dates section that was omitted last week.Local Notices, as mentioned above, were discussed at the PLSA West meeting I attended tonight, following a report on the last KHM Dockyard Port Forum meeting. It is probably worth drawing your attention to KHM LNTM 2/25, which outlines some changes to the rules entering Portsmouth Harbour. Most notable is likely exclusion zones around large ships entering the harbour. You can read the details at on the KHM website. Paul Tansom, Tidal Diamond Editor, tidal_diamonds@tudorsailing.org.uk |

Over 40 Portsmouth Pupils Meet Maritime Employers and British Sailing Team at Career Event
Over 40 pupils from five different local Portsmouth schools attended ASC Portsmouth on Wednesday, for an inspiring day that included a Q&A from British Sailing Team athletes Saskia Tidey and Matilda Nicholls, as well a speed networking event with various local maritime businesses.
Sail Training Trust students from Milton Cross, Bayhouse, Brune Park, Prospect and Henry Cort Community College visited the centre to learn about a variety of maritime career paths, as well as productive actions they can make to set themselves up for their own next steps.
3-time Olympian Saskia Tidey, and ILCA 6 sailor for the British Sailing Team Matilda Nicholls delivered a Q&A session, allowing the pupils to find out about what it takes to make it in the world of professional sailing, and the commitment and dedication the two have displayed in their careers so far.
The pupils then had the opportunity to take part in a speed networking event with a variety of organisations, many of whom have close links to the maritime sector. Representatives from organisations such as Lockheed Martin, GE Verona, Portsmouth International Port, RYA, Just Be Maritime, Boatfolk and many more held 2-1 chats with the pupils, explaining the different things their businesses do, and the steps they have personally taken to reach this position in their career.
Jake Elsbury, from the Royal Yachting Association, said
“It’s been great, we’ve had loads of kids come through where we’ve been able to offer careers advice and answering their questions.”
To find out more about this year’s careers day, watch our video here.

Chief Instructor Will took the helm and sailed onto the kayaker to pick him up, whilst the pupils were awesome in helping out, and without Will asking or suggesting – they even got lines ready to throw to the kayaker in case we missed him.
They then got the guy on board and the pupils got his kayak the right way up for us to tow it. Finally sailing him to Southsea Marina holding pontoons where he got back in his boat to paddle down wind to Locks SC where he started from.
The pupils represented the school maturely and respectfully and were a credit to the school and to the Sail Training Trust.
