The Womble Cup – Saturday 8th April

Calling all Tudor Wombles! The weather is currently looking good for our first litter pick on the water.

Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Saturday morning.

The rowing gigs will all be out. If you’d like to join in with a dinghy or a kayak, please liaise with Hannah or Alex to confirm the details. If you’re in the harbour on your cruiser it will be great to see you.

For everyone taking part (regardless of vessel type) please ensure you come to the briefing which starts at 10.30 in the club house. As the boats will be scattered across the harbour it’s important for everyone’s safety to understand the protocols in place for the event. Additionally, there are restrictions on where you can forage to ensure both your well being and our wildlife. And we don’t want to make it too easy for you .

We’ll be looking for not only the largest haul of rubbish, but also the most unusual piece, the oldest piece, and the most damaging to the harbour.

There will be gloves and refuse sacks available but the following could be useful to bring along:

• Litter pickers
• Stronger thicker gloves
• A multitool / utility knife
• Your own refuse sack
• Water to drink
• Jam sandwiches

If you can’t come out on the water, please come and join everyone at the clubhouse once we’ve returned. All boats will be back at 2pm.

See you Saturday

Cruiser Update

Thanks to everyone involved for making the cruiser launch at the weekend so successful – a great team effort. Most boats are now in the water and we can look forward to a getting out and about.

Cruiser Calendar

Cruiser owners will have received an email regarding a 2023 calendar where we can share our sailing plans and enable those that would like to, to ‘cruise in company’. There is also a page for Cruise Plans where we can add information about more extended planned trips – please refer to the email for more details. The calendar can be seen here and has also been added to the WhatsApp group under ‘Documents’ so it is always easy to find.

Ryde Marina

A favourite short hop for many Tudor cruisers, the marina is now run by Ryde Town Council and has undergone several improvements over the winter. These include re-decked pontoons, a refurbished shower block and most recently (and most usefully!) dredging at the marina entrance. For more information see https://ryde-marina.co.uk/ or visit their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100081668196744

Hurst Spit

A new sandbank has developed off Hurst Spit so please be aware of it if you’re headed west, so you don’t get caught out: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-64808738.amp

If you have any useful updates about our local cruising grounds, please feel free to drop me an email or share directly on the cruiser WhatsApp group. Fair winds!

Why not try Gig or Sliding Seat Rowing

The rowing section provides introduction sessions for both gig and sliding seat rowing. The introduction gig rows are currently at 6 pm on Tuesday evenings, whilst the introduction sliding seat rows are at 11:30 am on a Saturday morning, (alternative times can be arranged if these are not convenient). These free 1hr taster sessions are organised to suit the rower’s individual ability and are great fun. With the better weather fast approaching now would be the ideal time to give rowing a go. If you would like to book onto one of these sessions then please email me at rowing.

Thank you

Ebb & Flow

A quick one this week with a note that I have attached a poster with details of a Family Fun Day in aid of the RNLI at Emsworth Yacht Harbour on 20th May from 11am to 3pm. There will be a boat jumble and craft fayre. More details on the poster (all be it the majority I’ve just typed out!).

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 would be most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.

Update from the Commodore

It’s been a busy few months since taking on the role in January. I certainly feel it was straight in at the deep end!

The best thing about the year so far has been seeing the club so busy. The Celebration Evening was a great way to kick-off the new season, and other events – from games evenings to talks – have seen the clubhouse back to its busy best.

There are lots of events coming up – both social and on the water – so do get involved and enjoy all of our facilities.

2 New Officer Roles

The Exec will shortly be recruiting for 2 new positions:

• Duties Manager – to help co-ordinate members’ duty hours, fill slots, and ensure statistics are up to date at the end of the year.
• Fundraising Officer – to look at sources of income for club –grants, sponsorship, fundraising etc.

More details will be distributed in due course.

Recruitment

You will have noted at the AGM that finances are stretched at the moment. The best way to increase our income, along with enjoying the bar and galley, is to attract new members to the club.

By far the easiest way to get new members is by personal recommendation. Please do let your friends and family know about us, share FaceBook Posts, and invite people to the club either for a talk, open event, trial row or just to have a look round.

Paving Slabs up for grabs

The paving slabs in the small compound that we thought we could use for the new patio area have turned out not to be suitable. If any members would like to take some away, please let Bill Jones know – maintenance. They were free to us, and so we are not wanting any payment for them.

Cruiser Launch

This weekend is Cruiser Launch Weekend. The slipway will be closed from first thing on Saturday for the weekend. We will send an email when we are complete, although as high winds are forecast it may go on for longer than normal. All cruiser owners are expected to attend for the whole weekend – we regularly struggle on Sunday for crew and this weekend we will need more people than usual on the boats to cope with the wind.

The Launch Briefing is this Wednesday at 8pm. Come and have a drink with fellow cruiser owners, and remind yourself of what needs to be done over the weekend.

Start time Saturday – 0600

Women on the Water

WE’RE BACK!!!! The first session for WoW 2023 is just over a week away! The first session will be kayaking / rowing but there is a flexible schedule for the year for planned sessions for sailing as well. If you are not already in our WhatsApp group then please email me to be added.

Dinghy Update

Last weekend saw the first two trophies of the year claimed by some courageous sailors who braved the breezy conditions to victory. The LV See pursuit was won by James Langford and the Long Distance Race (13 miles around the harbour) was won by Terry & Alison Small. Congratulations to them both. Photos from the Long Distance race are available online https://tinyurl.com/Longdistanceracephotos

There is no sailing this weekend due to cruiser relaunch so our next event will be The Wombles Cup on Saturday 8th April followed by the Easter Egg Race on Sunday 9th.

Dinghy Racing Duties (on and off the water)

Think being a race officer is too hard? Too many decisions? It’s not as difficult as you may think! We will train you up and buddy you with a seasoned RO to start with. There are loads of resources on our website which are also in the race box to help so you don’t have to remember everything, we even have a set of courses that can be used if you don’t want to set one you’ve made up yourself. If this is something that you think you could have a go at whilst earning your duty hours and the gratitude of the sailors then please contact sign up for training using the following link https://tinyurl.com/tscmembertraining.

The training and familiarisation programme for power boat duties was revised last year and we are looking for club members to sign up and train as patrol boat helms and crews in order to facilitate the extended sailing programme as requested by the membership. Please refer to the attached flowchart for more details on routes into training. Patrol boat training and subsequent race duties count towards your maintenance hours and are a great way to get out on the water and see the harbour from a different angle.

If you are interested in power boat training (and haven’t already done so) please submit your request via the club website https://tinyurl.com/tscmembertraining please only apply for the relevant level (not all levels!) Then follow it up by email training@tudorsailing.org.uk to confirm your level of experience and any power boat qualifications (or confirm if not). Include training levels and dates of training and experience. We can then identify the appropriate route for you and find some dates, we have already held two sessions this year to get the ball rolling.

The PB programme is an in-house arrangement suitable for club purposes. RYA courses can be booked by contacting our neighbours, the Andrew Simpson Watersports Centre https://andrewsimpsoncentres.org/activities/powerboating/.

Any questions please contact Naomi at training@tudorsailing.org.uk

Maintenance Update

Paving slabs in small compound. These slabs were donated to the club by Mackley and were intended to be laid as a patio against the new sea wall but due to the high cost of having them installed it has been decided to dispose of them. These would be free to any member on a collection only basis all that is requested is a reasonable donation to the RNLI.

The final surface for this area will be a compacted shingle which the members will be asked to assist with laying. This work should be able to commence once the compound reorganisation has taken place.

A replacement red can marker has been produced and needs to be installed midway down the slipway.

Two replacement toilets seats to install in ladies changing rooms.

Additional A4 clip frames to advertise social events need installing in various locations in the clubhouse.

Someone with CAD drawing experience to produce plans of the clubhouse and compounds showing the location of all facilities ie taps, power points, lighting switches, key safes etc to assist new members in navigating their way around the club. This would be included in a new guide booklet and on the club website in the members area.

New external lighting has been installed on the north east side of the clubhouse and each fitting has its own pir detector so no matter which direction you approach from the pathway is illuminated, this was only switched from the front gate before.

Please dispose of all rubbish yourself from your boats and not in the skip as this is for clubhouse use only and the contractors may refuse to empty it if paint or anti foul is placed in it. Please report any issues that you may find whilst using the club and we will try our best to resolve them.

Update CCTV Policy

Tudor Sailing Club Exec have agreed some minor changes to our current CCTV policy.

These changes enable the Bosun and the Maintenance Officer to review images to i) check that all is as it should be during adverse weather events (when we wouldn’t want to be down the club!) and ii) that the system is working satisfactorily. The training section has been updated and a training record template has also been added.

There are no changes to how images are shared/made available or to the rest of the document.

I wanted to make sure you were sighted on these changes.

Celebration Evening

If you missed the celebration evening then please find attached is the 2022 season Trophy winners list along with the special prizes list. It was a great night at the club with many of the winners present. Thanks to everyone that was involved in making it a success. If you did not collect your awards then they are currently housed in the trophy cabinet in the clubhouse. Drop me a line to arrange collection.

Ebb & Flow

With reference to the updated CCTV policy, I haven’t attached it, but it can be found in the Members Only Area of the website (you will need your login information). Once logged in head to the TSC Bylaws and Constitution (bottom right of the Executive Committee Page section at the top), and then it can be found near the top of the bottom section (Other Useful Documents Managed by the Executive Committee).

On that note, and after a pleasingly busy Tidal Diamond, I will simply sign off for this week.

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 would be most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.

Dinghies Update

LV See Pursuit Race Saturday 25th March at 13:00

The first of two dinghy races this weekend is a pursuit. For those who want a refresher, we all start from the club line at a time according to our PY number, slowest boats first and fastest last, and race until the time limit. It’s all about position on the course at the end. See who you can catch!

Instructions including confirmation of start time offsets for each class and the course will be posted on the notice board, along with the Race Officer’s clock so watches can be synchronised.

There will be the standard 5-4-1 start sequence with the first warning signal at 12:55. The 13:00 start time will be the race start for a Gull, the boat with the lowest PY number in our racing fleet. A beep will then sound at each offset minute that signals a boat in the fleet starting, until all boats have started. There may also be a flip chart counting up the offset minutes for reference.

The course will either be multiple equal laps of a repeated course or a long first loop then multiple smaller loops until the finish time, depending on conditions on the day.

The race will finish 100 minutes after the start, I.e. at 14:40. At this time, please take a look at which boat is ahead and which is behind you. It is your position on the water that counts. The finish will be announced with a long beep and a finish flag at this time (any flag). The teams in the RIBs will also confirm positions, particularly if the race finishes on an upwind or downwind leg and the order may not be apparent to competitors.

For more information please take a look at the pursuit race instructions on the Members Useful Documents pages on the website.

Volunteers please

We need two patrol boats on the water for this race. Please sign up on Dutyman to fill the two helm gaps in order to allow this race to go ahead. Thank you.

Long Distance Race (in Harbour) Sunday 26th March at 14:30

Race 2 this weekend is a long distance race in the Harbour. A great opportunity to explore different channels, challenge your boat’s and your endurance and test your memory (or on-board maps) as to which harbour mark is which further afield.

Volunteers please

Please sign up on Dutyman if you can helm a patrol boat or be the Race Officer for this event. Thank you.

Patrol boat and Race officer training

Watch this space for forthcoming training opportunities.

Please sign up using the Request Training option on the website under the Members tab if you haven’t already, or if you wish to register your interest for the next level or an alternative role to complete those duty hours. All assistance appreciated.

If all you need is a local refresher, either to convert existing skills and experience brought in from other clubs or if it’s been a while since you last did a duty please contact Naomi at training to arrange this.

Rowing Update

Winter Trophy

The good weather blessed (once again) the final race of the Tudor Winter Trophy last Saturday! A mild southerly breeze and sunshine made the perfect conditions for this engaging race, a 3.5 nM course from the Club start line, around the Mulberry Harbour, up to the isolated danger in Langstone Channel and back to the Club.

Seven Bursledon gigs raced with a total of 32 people onboard coming from TSC, Hamble River Rowing, Crazy Boys team and ECA, all with mixed crews of men and women. The competition was very tight, with all the boats arriving within five minutes after the first, meaning that they all rowed at an average speed of nearly 5 kn. It’s worth mentioning team Friendship, who left last at the start line but managed to arrive at fourth place, overtaking three gigs in a thrilling and very technical race!

Team Navigator won all the races and therefore the Trophy, another award on their long list that they need to defend in the coming seasons!

The Tudor Winter Trophy has proven to be a great opportunity to remain active during the cold season and create a good momentum for the race period that will start at Hamble on 20th May; it was also a fantastic occasion for spending some time together with old and new friends from other Clubs, sharing the excitement of the race and the relaxed time in the clubhouse. As always, the galley and bar teams were crucial in looking after all the participants, keeping everyone happy, fed and hoppily hydrated!

If anyone wants to join the rowing group, please send an email to rowing, new people are always welcome!

Lucia Crotti

Ebb & Flow

As we approach the club launch weekend I will add a quick reminder that the cruiser launch briefing is at 2000hrs on Wednesday 29th. This is an important safety briefing as well as providing information about timings, etc. so it is important that all cruiser owners attend. The launch weekend is a busy, but invariably enjoyable weekend, where not only do club members help each other with the combined launch, but get to exchange ideas and, when crewing, get to see aboard different boats (great of ideas or that temptation to get a new boat!). There’s also breakfast and lunch available (do book early for that so we can get a good idea of numbers).

On the subject of being a self help club with members working together, it is worth planning ahead with your club duty, so there isn’t a rush at the end of the year. Helping both shore side and on the water with club racing is a great way to learn, get involved and enjoy making new friends. It also keeps the racing programme going. Training is available where needed, and DutyMan (link below) will have details of what is needed.

DutyMan is also used for helping with the social side of things (bar and galley duty), again training is available and it is a great way to get involved and make friends.

With any of the club duties there is no need to worry about being dropped in the deep end (does Langstone Harbour have a deep end? Surely it’s more the middle – maybe the entrance). Other members are always around to help out if you get stuck.

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 would be most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.

Cruiser Update

The weather is not being very kind to us in getting ready for lift-in in just over two weeks’ time (1st & 2nd April) but I hope everyone is managing to nudge things forward.

Moorings

Several cruiser owners have had mooring-related difficulties recently, including locating their mooring and getting their gear renewed. The cruiser WhatsApp group has again been invaluable in helping members find solutions and get recommendations about people and organisations who could help. Thanks also go to our own Southsea Sub-Aqua Club for their offer of help by means of divers. Please note that the updated Club Mooring Specification document is now on the Useful Documents page of the website: https://www.tudorsailing.org.uk/TudorSailing/?r=/05_sailing/documents/body.php

Communications

If you would like to join the cruiser WhatsApp group, please email me at cruisers with your name, mobile number and boat name and I’ll add you to the group. You just need to have WhatsApp installed on your phone.

The members only Facebook group ‘Tudor Members Lounge’ is also a useful resource in which any member can post, ask questions etc. If you use Facebook, you can join the group using the following link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1380997942212963/?ref=share

This really exciting member’s idea is growing into quite a day. I really hope you’ll all come along and support even if you’re not on the water. Bring your friends and family to the clubhouse as you know there’ll be yummy food available and the bar will be open.

It’s our first event of this kind, and already we’ve got interest across all three local harbours to join in for 2024, and make this an annual event.

In essence our members will womble about on the water collecting “things that the everyday folk leave behind” (in a safe way). Three hours, then back to the club house for judging and a chance to win what’s sure to become a most coveted trophy. The briefing will be around 10.30, on the water for 11.00.

The whole event ties in nicely with the Keep Britain Tidy annual British Spring Clean, the nation’s biggest mass action environmental campaign. Keeping our local environment beautiful.

The class captains are busy working together to see which vessels can go out easily and safely, so keep an eye on your WhatsApp groups and TD for more information.

Please do book tickets now to register your interest in being there. Link is below. Food and drink will be pay on the day, and please include numbers for friends and family when booking to help our social committee plan food.

Remember you’re a Womble!

YouTube Channel

Our club’s official YouTube channel is now live. Please do pop over there and check it out. You can subscribe and get notifications whenever we load a new video.

The first video loaded was in recognition of International Women’s Day and features many club members enjoying the water and making memories. I hope you like it. Please share with your friends and family.

We are planning to load more promotional material in the coming months, and it can’t happen without you. So please do keep sending me any video snippets of your adventures.

Enjoy!

Ebb & Flow

To round off another busy Tidal Diamond I shall simply add a piece of correspondence that has come to the club which may be of interest to members:

We’ve had this in from Miles Banister, the Membership Secretary at Square Rigger Club Charity who wonders if any of our sailors might be interested in an opportunity to try something different. TS Royalist is a 34 metre brig built in 2014 to replace a previous ship of the same name and is owned and operated by the Marine Society and Sea Cadets (MSSC). Almost every week of the year 24 cadets from all over the UK join the ship and spend 6 days on board working as part of the crew and receiving training and instruction from the permanent staff of 8.

The Square Rigger Club Charity’s (SRCC) purpose is to promote and support offshore sailing for Sea Cadets. We do this by raising funds which we use to provide bursaries to cadets wishing to sail on TS Royalist and some items of equipment for the ship itself.

In recognition of our unique relationship with them, the MSSC grants the SRCC two opportunities each year to charter TS Royalist for a long weekend offshore voyage during which members of our charter party live aboard and become the voyage crew.

We are operating two charters this year – one in April sailing from Portsmouth and another in September sailing from Plymouth. The only requirements we have is that participants must be reasonably fit and aged 18 or over.
if you think any of your members might like to take part in one of these voyages then please could you point them towards our website at www.squareriggerclub.org.uk to find out more.

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 would be most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.

Why not try Gig or Sliding Seat Rowing

The rowing section hold introduction sessions every Saturday morning for both gig and sliding seat rowing. These free 1hr taster sessions are organised to suit the rowers individual ability and are great fun. With the better weather fast approaching now is the ideal time to give rowing a go. Please email me at rowing if you would like to book onto one of these sessions.

Maintenance Update

Slip Cleaning

There are 4 positions on the Slip cleaning crew that reports to the Bosun. The task is to keep the slipway clear and safe to use. Maintenance forms are not required as this task like grass cutting and window cleaning are set tasks. The chains on the slip belong to the Maintenance people.

The slip is normally swept using the rubber scrapers that are kept at the top of the slip on a falling tide. This is usually the last hour or two of the tide to carry the silt with it. If the slipway is heavily silted we have the use of the small tractor with the scraper on the back.

We have a WhatsApp group to keep in touch as it’s easier to do slip cleaning in company.

There is one position left available.

This week’s edition is feeling uncannily similar to last weeks, so before I finish off with a mention of the courses at the top and a for sale advert, I will mention RYA SafeTrx which has now been adopted by HM Coastguard. I’ve had the app installed on my phone for a while now. More details at:

https://www.rya.org.uk/e-news/inbrief/hm-coastguard-adopts-rya-safetrx

and a short video at:

I will also give a quick teaser for the Wombles Cup coming on April 8th. If you are in one of our WhatsApp groups you will likely know what it is. If you’re not, more details will be in a future Tidal Diamond, and no doubt in our WhatsApp groups so see below for details of how to join them.

If you’ve got this far and not noted the courses we have on offer, skip back up to the top and take another look. First Aid and VHF are two important safety areas when sailing, so the offer of RYA courses at the club is well worth taking advantage of.

Social Media Update

WhatsApp and TSC

Hi everyone,

WhatsApp continues to grow as a popular and efficient method of communication for our club community and whilst we don’t have any formal responsibility for the content, we do expect members to adhere to guidelines when conducting TSC business.

A document outlining our approach is available now within our club website ‘Useful Documents’ section. It’s currently filed under ‘Other Sailing Committee Documents’. Here’s the link:

https://www.tudorsailing.org.uk/TudorSailing/?r=/05_sailing/documents/body.php

In summary, all members should treat each other with courtesy and respect, just as they would face to face. Below are the truncated guidelines but please do take the time to read the whole document. As always Colin, Rob, and I are available to answer questions.

Truncated WhatsApp Guidance

• The function of our WhatsApp groups is to let members know what’s happening on the water and socially at the club, sharing useful information, asking for advice.
• Be kind, respectful, and courteous. This is a space for everyone to enjoy what the club has to offer. Let’s create a welcoming environment.
• Healthy debates are natural, but respect and kindness are required.
• Please keep posts short and on point.
• On no account should members stray into discussing politics, religion, or other potentially controversial topics.
• Respect everyone’s privacy. Being part of a group requires mutual trust. What’s shared in the group should stay in the group.
• Self-promotion, spam, and irrelevant links are not permitted.
• Non-adherence to the code may result in a member being removed from the club WhatsApp groups.

Tudor Members Lounge on Facebook

A reminder that we have a closed Facebook group called Tudor Members Lounge.

It’s a great place to stay updated on social events and on the water activities at the club. Plus you can ask advice or chat to other members there.

Here’s the link again, please do join if you use Facebook.

Going forward we’ll put the link in the useful links section of Tidal Diamond.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1380997942212963/

New Members WhatsApp group

We’ve just revamped our WhatsApp group for new members and going forward all new members will be invited to join the chat while they find their sea legs around and about Tudor. It’s a chat that will have a constant flow of new members coming and going. If you are new to Tudor in the last few months, still finding your way round, and would like to join please do get in touch with me.

Rowing Update

Why not try Gig or Sliding Seat Rowing

The rowing section hold weekly introduction sessions every Saturday morning for both gig and sliding seat rowing. These free 1hr taster sessions are organised to suit the rowers individual ability and are great fun. With the better weather fast approaching now is the ideal time to give rowing a go. Please email me at rowing if you would like to book a session.

Tudor rowing handicap calculations to be adopted by other event organisers

Thanks to some great work done by Martino Pani (a lecturer at Portsmouth University) in calculating rowing boat handicaps for last years Tudor Challenge, it has been agreed these calculations (which are based on the water line length of the boat) will be adopted for this seasons Round Hayling Rowing Race and the Cockleshell Challenge. It is hoped that in time these calculations will be used more widely at other rowing event organisers across the 3 harbours area and an initial meeting is to be hosted at Tudor where these will be presented to representatives from the various rowing groups. Well done Martino!

Cruiser Update

Communications – Cruiser WhatsApp Group

I would like to encourage all cruiser owners and cruising members to join our cruiser WhatsApp group ‘TSC Cruises’. It’s a great way to share and receive useful cruiser-related information, ask questions, post photos from your trip etc, as well as enabling members to chat about potential cruises in company. For example, last season I found it really helpful for getting into Ryde Harbour as members were able to describe the location of the entrance channel (which was not where the buoys were!) and post photos showing the exact location of the sand bars that had built up in the entrance. More recent discussions have included useful information relating to the recently-discontinued Calor Gas bottles that some of us use.

We have a wonderful, diverse cruising community at Tudor and this group is a great way for us all to stay connected. To join, please email me at cruisers with your name, phone number and boat name and I’ll add you to the group. You just need to ensure that you have WhatsApp installed on your mobile phone.

Lift-in preparations

It’s great to see the weather warming up and activity in the compound increasing as we get ready for lift-in on the weekend of 1st & 2nd April. That’s less than 6 weeks away so don’t forget to schedule in enough time for those crucial jobs like checking/maintaining your mooring on a suitable tide and servicing your engine and ensuring it runs. Feel free to ask on the cruiser WhatsApp group if you’d find advice from other cruiser owners helpful.

Dinghy Update

Icicle Race 4

Fantastic conditions for the most recent Icicle race held at the weekend. 15 boats took part with some really close racing. Thanks to the patrol boat and RO for making it happen and to Richard Pearson for the photos. There are two more races left in the Icicle series so why not come along and join in the fun?

Disposal of Flares

If you have out of date flares, HM Coastguard can no longer dispose of these for you. A list of companies that will accept time expired pyrotechnics can be found on: https://thegreenblue.org.uk/environmental-facilities-map/

Marine Super Store in Port Solent will accept 15 flares for free even if you’re not buying new ones. These have to be flares that were purchased for personal use, they won’t dispose of flares from commercial ventures.

Ebb & Flow

Well that’s a packed Tidal Diamond. I had a few items ready to fit into this section. First was on flare disposal – covered above by Nicola. Second was the value of the WhatsApp groups as the flares issue was discussed on the cruiser one prior to reaching here – covered above by Kat. I can add that we have a selection of groups for the different club activities, you can find details at the bottom of the Diary Dates section.

I can be first with the fact that there is a new edition of Chart BA3418 (Langstone and Chichester Harbours) due for publication on 13th April ’23. Up-to-date survey data has been incorporated reducing minimum depths in the Broom Channel, mooring area by the Mulberry and Bedhampton Channel. If you are about to purchase a new chart you may like to hold off and make sure you get the latest one.

I will finish off with a reminder in big red letters again. By the time the next Tidal Diamond is sent it will be too late!

Membership Renewals due by 28th February – that’s one week.

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 would be most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.

Sliding Seat Rowing Trial update.

Last Saturday was the first day of Tudor’s sliding seat rowing trial, which is being run at 11:30am every Saturday morning for the next 3 months to provide members with the opportunity to have a go at sliding seat rowing. Two members had a go last Saturday (see photos) and said that they really enjoyed the experience.

New Members Survey

Closes 20 February

Hi everyone.

Thank you again to everyone that has completed this survey. The survey closes on the 20th February, so just a few days left to add your thoughts. Steve Woodbridge and I will be reviewing your comments and recommendations during the end of February and we’ll keep you updated on changes to both the membership process and the early months as a club member. I’m confident some of the changes, particularly around finding information, will benefit us all.

Here’s the link one last time:

Cruiser Captain

We’re delighted to announce that Kat Robinson has been unanimously elected Cruiser Captain by the Cruiser Section.

From Kat:

I’m looking forward to another great season afloat. Over my years at Tudor I’ve progressed from single-handing a 20’ Alacrity, to introducing my now-husband to sailing a 25’ Jaguar, to buying our current 29’ Westerly Konsort ten years ago, to accommodate our 3 growing (now grown) children.

I’d like to help club members join in with all that Tudor has to offer, especially by improving communications and better connecting members in our wonderful cruising community.

Two things to fit in to this section before sending. Firstly, from the Stundland Bay Marine Partnership Update for February 2023 is attached, which is useful information if you are likely to be sailing there in the coming season (or even if you are just interested):

Good morning

I am writing on behalf of the Studland Bay Marine Partnership to keep your members informed of progress and the current situation.

I attach a release that has been prepared by Dorset Coast Forum on behalf of the “boaters” which I would ask you to post on your notice board and, if possible, include a link on your member newsletters and on your website as this information provides the current and coming season situation to the many hundreds of boaters who visit Studland Bay each year, many in transit.

As one of the two boaters who sit on the Partnership, together with a RYA representative, I feel that the many contributors are now “pulling together” whereas, at the beginning, there were numerous different agendas. Your members can be assured that we strongly represent the boaters interests so that we may all continue to enjoy Studland Bay.

Kind regards
Jim Atkins
Studland Bay Marine Partnership and Christchurch Sailing Club

Secondly, and likely of more immediate importance, a quick reminder that membership renewals are due by 28th February, so you have two weeks left. If you are having problems do let the club know. I’ll just repeat that important information in larger letters before signing off, just to be sure:

Membership Renewals due by 28th February – that’s two weeks.

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 would be most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.

Rowing Update

Sliding Seat Rowing

Tudor have acquired two sliding seat boats which the club will be trialling for a 3 month period. During the trial period these boats will be available for all club members to try out under supervision, and regular rowing slots have been scheduled for 11am on Saturday mornings. These rowing slots will need to be prebooked and initially only two slots will be available each week. If you would like to give sliding seat rowing a go and book a slot then please email me at rowing.

Introduction to Gig rowing

The rowing section hold regular introduction rows every Saturday at 11am, where you can give gig rowing a go. These 1hr taster sessions are organised to suit the rowers individual ability and are always great fun. With the better weather fast approaching now is the ideal time to try gig rowing. Please email me at rowing if you would like to book one of these sessions.

Thank You.

Rowing News

Last Saturday morning the adventurous rowers decided to try a different place for their weekly breakfast together, and to stretch their shoulders a bit. The sea and weather conditions were mild and favourable: light northerly wind, raising tide, no rain, so off they went to Emsworth! Due to water constrains, the fleet of five gigs (22 rowers) went to Northney via Langston channel, receiving a big help from the tide that pushed them up from Sword Point to Bridge in no time. Once they arrived at the South Cardinal marking the entrance of the Emsworth channel, the gigs headed up north and landed at the slipway at Emsworth harbour. A few swans inquisitively observed the rowers while they were having their refreshments and a small celebration (happy birthday Denise!), and were relieved to have their spot on the slipway back once the group left. On the way back to TSC, two gigs engaged in a small race and, to the surprise of the crews, two kayakers from a nearby club joined in, keeping up with the boats for quite a distance and looking forward to seeing them again next Saturday for another joint row together.

If anyone wants to join the rowing group, please send an email to rowing, new people are always welcome!

Plenty of news this week, so after one of those days I will leave you with some stunningly useful information for those cruiser owners safely ashore in the compound from one of today’s KHM LNtM, and that is that the Horse Sand Forst is unlit. OK, so perhaps more use for some adventurous dinghy sailors, or our hardy rowers than us hight and dry cruiser owners. More details at:

https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/KHM/Portsmouth/Local-Notices/Navigational-Warnings/2023/2313.

On the subject of cruiser owners, it may well just be worth a reminder that the launch weekend is 1st and 2nd April, so no fooling around, time is ticking (he says as much to himself as the rest of the membership!

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 would be most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.
