Round Hayling Dinghy Cruise 28th July
Round Hayling dinghy cruise 28th July
It’s almost time for the annual dinghy cruise around Hayling Island. It’s a cruise, not a race, with safety boat cover. We do need volunteers still on the RIBs for the event to go ahead, so please volunteer on duty man. Your cruise leaders will be Mark and Nicola.
We had booked the club wanderer for this event but no longer need it, if anyone else would like to sail in it.
To make best use of the tide we will have a briefing at 0915. Please have your boat rigged and be dressed ready to set sail. We will be launching promptly after the briefing. That way we can sail down Langstone Harbour with the out going tide. We then sail along Hayling seafront and stop off at HISC for lunch. And then sail up Chichester harbour with an incoming tide.
If you’re in a boat with not much space to store your lunch etc, one of the safety boats can carry it for you. Bring plenty to drink, extra layers, sunglasses, sun cream etc. Boats should stay close together, so it should be easy to get the attention of a RIB if you need assistance, but bringing a VHF can come in useful. Paddles / oars can be useful too, especially if you lower your mast to get under Hayling bridge.
If you have any questions, feel free to pop them as a comment on the Facebook post advertising the event, email me at environmental@tudorsailing.org.uk or post the question in any of the following WhatsApp groups if your on them: Tudor dinghy sailors, newbies – dinghy sailors, new members tsc, or women on the water.

The Round Hayling Rowing Race
Last Sunday, 5 Gigs with 24 crew travelled the short distance from Tudor Sailing Club across Langstone Harbour to Northney to take part in this years Round Hayling Rowing Race.
With a gentle north easterly breeze and overcast skies, conditions were perfect for the 13 mile race. But despite the good conditions, the race proved to be a battle of attritions, as with aching muscles and blistered hands the Tudor rowers gave their all to the challenge. For between 2.5 and 3 hours the crews (encouraged by The Tudor Cheer Leaders) battled the tides around the island.
A total of 24 fixed seat rowing boats (plus 8 sliding seat quads) took part in the race and as usual, the Tudor crews put in a great performance with all our crews finishing in the top 10 places. Well done to all crews that took part (see photos) as completion of the course under race conditions is a challenge in itself, but congratulations go to the winning crews of:
Rosie (Steve, Martino, Rory, Ladina) for coming second overall on handicap and winning the trophy for the Fastest Bursledon Gig.
Navigator (Keron, Kirsty, Inga, Michelle, Sue) for winning the trophy for the fastest Ladies crew on handicap.
The next event in the rowing calendar is the Tudor Challenge which will be held at the club on Saturday 3rd August. Even if you are not taking part, please make a note of the date and come along to cheer on the Tudor crews and enjoy the BBQ and entertainment after the racing.

Two quick LNtM from KHM this week..
The Clipper 2023 -2024 Round the World Race will finish at Portsmouth between 1130 and 1200 on Saturday 27 July 2024. More details at: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/khm/portsmouth/local-notices/lntm/2024/2494-clipper-2023-to-24-round-the-world-yacht-race
The annual Cowes Week Regatta will be held between 27 July and 2 August 2024. More details at: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/khm/portsmouth/local-notices/lntm/2024/2493-cowes-week-regatta-27-jul-to-2-aug-24
That’s going to be a very busy Saturday in the Solent with Cowes Week and the Clipper race finishing both on the same day.
Save the date. Rooster will have a pop up shop at Tudor on 3rd August. You’ll have the opportunity to buy kit, or order kit and also order customised kit with any of our official Tudor logos (TSC, Rowing, Kayak, WoW, Cadets) There’ll be sale items too.
The shop will be located in the garage space. PS as it’s Tudor Challenge day please be mindful of heavy footfall and many boats moving through small compound.
As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address, it is always nice to hear from members. Any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds always most welcome.
Let’s be careful out there.
