Maintenance Committee

Hi All Tudor Sailing Club members,

The current maintenance team have been in place for several years now, and willing as they are they could do with some new blood to replace those that are stepping down and to ease the burden of those remaining. The Tudor is a self help club, this ethos not only contributes to its great character but also keeps members subscriptions at sustainable levels. The club cannot operate safely and efficiently without a fully functional maintenance team, everything from keeping the water supply free of “Legionnaires Disease” through Gas, Fire and Electrical safety to CCTV, alarm and gate padlock security and on it goes… cutting grass, emptying the cess pit, etc etc etc. All these things we all take for granted have to be monitored and implemented as well as improvements to the infrastructure that are called for by the Executive. ”YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU”. You don’t have to be skilled in any particular way, just have an understanding of the real world and an attitude that “Gets things done”. We need a new lead Officer as well as at least 2 new committee members. It is a great way to influence decision making with affable people in a convivial atmosphere.

See you at the AGM. Very best regards Ian DuCane

Rowing News

Last Saturday the rowing section celebrated the Christmas festivities in their favourite way: rowing together and raising a glass (perhaps two) of fizz! The fleet of four gigs had a relaxed row to the harbour entrance and a stop for a drink on the way back at the Ferry Boat Inn. Eighteen people (many regular rowers but also some new faces) were out on the water on that sunny afternoon, and many others joined the group at the club for a joyful American supper. Steve Woodbridge patiently created a slideshow with more than a thousand photos collected during 2022 by all the rowers, a lovely way of going through some of the funniest moments that the last eventful year gave us.

Quite a few new members joined the rowing section this year, gaining more and more confidence with a sport new for them and eventually even taking part to some races; if you fancy keeping active and warm during the winter season, why don’t you join as well? A rich calendar of events is ready and there are plenty of social and friendly activities suitable for all abilities and levels of experience; drop an email to: rowing.

Atlantic Row update

Last week I posted all the various ways to follow club member Kevin Watkins epic rowing adventure for charity.

Dot Watchers; the 2022 race is now loaded and live and they set off at mid morning Monday 12th. Watch all the teams progress on the YB app by searching for Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.

YouTube update

As mentioned last week, in January the club will be launching official YouTube content. This will be a place for prospective and existing members to visit and the content will range from informative to uplifting and be a place to advertise who we are and what we offer.

I’m delighted so many are already volunteering to be part of a montage about our fabulous club. It’s been fun hearing the ideas you’ve all got. It’s not too late to be part of it. I won’t be starting work on it until January, so please do contact me on the email address or via WhatsApp if you’ve got me added. If you’ve already volunteered I’ll be in touch in January.

New(ish) members

At the end of January, Steve Woodbridge (our membership secretary) and I will be launching a survey for new(ish) members. We want to hear about your initial experiences with the club from … how you heard about us, how you found our website information, right through to those initial months when you didn’t know your web-collect from your boat bookings we’ve all been there … The results will allow us to map your journey end to end and enhance the experience for those that follow. Of course, if you’re a long time member and, unlike me, have a great memory you are also welcome to complete the survey and input your ideas. Look out for the survey link here in TD during January.

I’ve rabbited on again. I’ll be quiet next week

Sailing Update

Thank you to all the members who took time to complete the survey I sent out a couple of weeks ago.

It was great to see that 87% of responses received were happy with the amount of opportunities to get out on the water last year. There was some other great feedback which we are working on incorporating into the calendar and non-sailing related items have been passed onto the relevant person. One item that came up several times was cruiser cruise calendar, the sailing committee would love to schedule some events like this but we are currently without a permanent cruiser captain to organise. If you have a cruiser and would like to step up and get cruisers cruising in company again then please drop Mark Swallow a line.

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY!

The 2023 regatta is provisionally scheduled for 2nd and 3rd September, so put this in your diary now. We are looking at changing the program so that more racing starts from the club to give spectators something to watch, which was feedback received from the survey.

A couple of bits of admin, if that’s the right term, this week:

• Maintenance – don’t forget that you need to complete your maintenance hours before renewals. One opportunity that I am currently aware of is for some ‘simple’ jobs that need doing on Bruce (the committee boat). For more details contact the Sailing Secretary at sailingsec
• Something else that needs to be completed soon (if you need to do it) is jet washing of cruisers. The deadline for this is the end of the year.
• I’ll also give another reminder of the AGM on 8th January (see below).

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.

Marketing News

Hi everyone.

As Paul mentioned last week it’s always great to hear stories from members about your adventures and achievements on the water. It really helps encourage and inspire us all. Please keep them coming.

As you may know we have a club member, Kevin Watkins, who is about to embark on a trip of a lifetime rowing 3000 miles from La Gomera to Nelson’s Dock English Harbour in Antigua. Team Raring to Row will join 43 teams from 17 countries (that’s 127 nervous and excited souls) the largest fleet to date.

There’s plenty of ways to keep up with their progress and I list those below.

If you’d like to learn more about the children’s charity Kevin’s team is supporting, Action Medical Research, I also attach a link below and the JustGiving link. Tudor members have given generously to this worthy cause over the last few months (You’ll remember the amazing 24-hour row event arranged by Sue & John Elson to raise awareness and funds for the charity).Thank you again everyone for supporting research into curing and preventing childhood diseases.

As a final note, I’m sure you’ll join me in wishing all teams Fair winds and following seas when the race starts on the 12th December.

Here are the links for Action Medical Research:

Coming Soon

I’m excited to get underway with the new marketing role. Over the years many of you have done so much to showcase our fantastic club and make it a friendly, inclusive place for new and existing members. I plan to utilise all those brilliant efforts as well as listen to all your new thoughts and feedback.

In January we’ll be launching more official YouTube content. This will be a place for prospective and existing members to visit and the content will range from informative to uplifting and be a place to advertise who we are and what we offer.

If you’ve got great racing or leisure footage please dig it out. If you’re out and about on the water over Christmas and film something great, please consider letting us use it. The designated ‘TSC marketing’ email will be ready hopefully for next week so I’ll let you know then where to send it.

I’m also on the lookout for members that would like to take part in a video montage about why they joined Tudor and what water activities they do. Class captains, time to get a nice hair doo as I’m coming for you in the new year to appear on screen

Sorry for such a long article, thanks for sticking with it and watch this space for more marketing news.

There’s a short article on the RYA website titled Stay Afloat all Year Round. A couple of interesting points it mentions are using a WhatsApp group to organise going afloat with others, and organising winter racing. That’s as good an excuse as any to draw attention to the WhatsApp groups we have (see below in the Diary Dates section) and the Frostbite and forthcoming Icicle series of races (again see the Diary Dates).

RYA wise again, they are supporting the Royal Life Saving Society UK’s Don’t Drink and Drown campaign. That seems pretty sound advice, more details can be found at: https://www.rya.org.uk/news/dont-drink-and-drown-this-december.

If you are looking for some ‘Shoreside Learning’ the RYA have an article on some options from their range of courses and publications at: https://www.rya.org.uk/blog/shoreside-learning.

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 Cradle Steel

Hi All Cruiser owners.

We have aquired a quantity of box steel. It is ideal material for making cradles. A well made cradle is an excellent asset both for the current owner and any prospective buyer. This steel is hot dipped galvanised so will need to be welded with health caution although it is best if most of the joints are bolted to allow for easy breakdown and storage.

The sections are laid by the gate at the south end of the main compound.

Please contact me (mob. 07775916077) if you want some as we do not intend to have this pile sat there gathering spiders and rats for very long. My thinking is that what isn`t “claimed” by the end of January will be disposed of.

Best regards Ian

Another piece from NCI Gosport (Coastwatch) this week. I’ve attached it as a PDF, but to give some indication of what is there: Mayor of Gosport 100 Award, part of the borough’s 100th anniversary and recognising people that make a difference to the community; Mayday Relay, Coastwatch’s key part in saving a swimmer swept out from Hot Walls and ending up a decent way into the Solent. You can also read it at: The View From The Harbour Entrance (ncigosport.blogspot.com).

Before signing off I will just note a date for your diaries, the AGM on Sunday 8th January. See also recent WebCollect emails.

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.

I note that we have some events listed for 2023 in the Diary Dates section, I’m not sure I’m quite ready for thinking about next year yet. That said, another event early in 2023 is the RYA Dinghy and Watersports show. It is in Farnborough on the 25th and 26th February. Two day tickets are available free to RYA members. More details at: https://www.rya.org.uk/events/dinghy-show.

There have been a couple of pieces in recent Tidal Diamonds from members about their experiences getting involved with club activities. Both have been from the rowing section, so I’ve thought (and it has been asked too) whether there is anyone who would be willing to write something similar about other club activities. Don’t worry if you are new to all this, everyone was new once and sharing your first experiences can encourage others to take the plunge (I’m hoping that’s a suitable term!).

On a related note, I attended the RYA Affiliate Club Conference the weekend before last, and there was very much a focus on understanding what constitutes value for money for members of different clubs, and ensures that they sign up for another year when renewal time comes. Another area of discussion was what motivates volunteers to get involved and put time and energy into helping clubs. That is an area that is particularly important to self help clubs like Tudor. If anyone has any thoughts I’d be interested to hear (he says with his RYA hat on, although that’s not to say it wouldn’t be of interest to the club as well). My email is rya.

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.

Communal Boat Planter

There has been the addition of a boat planter on the club house lawn. The boat has been dug into the lawn to ensure that it is stable and is almost ready for planting. This is where you come in, if you have any spare good quality top soil or compost then please fill in the cockpit of the dinghy. We are also after some keen gardeners to donate any spare plants they might have and plant them in the planter. Ideally we are after hardy plants that are pleasing to the eye.

I will round off this week with a piece about rowing from Bill Jones. It’s a good length, so don’t forget to keep going to the Diary Dates. If anyone else has any experiences they want to share send them through.

Never too old to row

Well something must have changed because what on earth has possessed me to set an alarm for 7 am on a Saturday when it’s only just getting light and it’s been raining.

Managed to creep out of the bedroom without making too much noise and get downstairs without disturbing the dog who now believes it’s breakfast time but he’s out of luck, if I feed him now he’ll want a walk and I have more important things planned. Putting on the wet weather gear and filling a flask I quietly shut the front door, get in the car and make my way to the club. You always think I’ll be first and have to unlock the gates, but this lot are keen and are already preparing boats and discussing where to aim for. As soon as all the crews had arrived with a rising tide of 4.6 metres and at least an hour or more till high tide Northney Marina with its café would be our destination.

Boats launched and yes the water is beginning to cool, we cut across towards the sea wall on the southern edge of Farlington marshes and began to warm up as a steady stroke developed, Navigator was powering ahead of us and Rosie following us at a similar pace. Now this is why it was worth getting up early as a young seal appeared behind Rosie and I’ve seen plenty of seals in the harbour but not so playful as this one jumping in and out of the water. The crew of Rosie stopped to take some video but so did the seal and upon restarting continued to follow until we had passed the small islands out into more open water by Bedhampton channel.

Making our way across to the gap where the old Hayling Billy line once was proved a lot more effort had to be put in as the wind pushed us towards the structure quickly pulling oars in to prevent the blades being damaged. Under the road bridge and now in the Lee of the shore the wind reduced and the rowing became easier as a small slipway appeared just to the north of the Marinia opposite the Royal Oak at Langstone.

Well they say many hands make light work, how true when lifting a gig up onto to shoreline then waking over to the café for a well earned hot drink and a chat.

Break over and back into the boats keeping our same positions this time having to use a cox to get under the bridge and though the gap as the wind had freshened, our row across to the channel more challenging as my oar kept digging into the larger waves. Calmer conditions as we passed into the gaps between the islands, some litter recovered from the reeds by Navigators crew and our friendly seal reappeared following close to Rosie.

Within a short while we were back at the club having enjoyed some strenuous exercise having not got too wet as the cloud had lifted and the rain much less than predicted. Boats all washed down, stored away, a welcome hot shower and another bag full of wet clothing to wash and dry at home.

I’ve been a member since 2000, my son and daughter joining with the sea scouts and my interest in boats being rekindled with the purchase of a Wayfarer which was only kept for a couple of years but more for pleasure as racing in not my thing. Our daughter had a topper and our son a lark, but powerboating interested him more so he joined the ECA owning a zap cat and a rib. The zap cat was exciting as speeds close to 46 knots were possible but the next day you felt as though a horse had repeatedly kicked you and my wife remarking don’t you think you’re a little to old for that.

We were offered an old cruiser, well at 18 feet almost a cruiser but not quite, £300 for the engine boat comes free! Her name Chippy soon nicknamed Crappy, as three full grown men on this small boat almost put us off owning a so called cruiser. Whilst my wife was recovering from a badly broken shoulder she uttered the words every man wants to hear, and before you jump to conclusions she actually said, you need a bigger boat. She scoured the internet and found it, an old westerly Centaur in good condition which the three of us have co owned for six years having shared the costs, work and most importantly the fun!

Of course the most fun is usually had over the winter scraping the barnacles off laying under the boat on pallets, and even better this year having to remove one of the keels to reseal it to hopefully stop a persistent leak.

One Sunday morning a few years ago the first gig was purchased causing maybe a little controversy but I was at the club to look at it and happy to endorse it, but at the time not ready to use it. Only this year did I feel that the time was right to give it a go so on a very windy Saturday morning I had my first introductory row at low tide trying to make our way just down to Broom buoy. A few more goes but maybe not as regular as I would have liked and then a Wednesday evening row to the ferry boat. This made me realise I wasn’t the only one who found it difficult to keep in time with whoever was setting the pace and that feathering the oar came with practice.

If like me you are unsure what rowing is all about I can definitely recommend having a go as you get lots of encouragement and get to take part at a level that suits you.

It’s not just about rowing and racing as the social get togethers are an important part of it and I’ve now realised that the harder you row the more beer you can drink, at least it’s an excuse I’m sticking with.

Well I could have left the story at that point but no, up again early and at the club on a Saturday morning to start at 8 am.

Quite a calm morning with a light breeze and setting of to the fairway with the aim of reaching the coffee cup on Southsea seafront seemed a reasonable challenge . The sun was now shining as we approached the fairway, then making good time to the Roway we stopped with the Coffee Cup in sight but then a call over the radio, how about going around the fort?. Ok came the reply so a quick drink of water and a steady pull out to the fort passing a small yacht struggling in the gentle swell almost becalmed. At last a rest in the lee of the fort and looking back at Langstone Harbour entrance that seemed a long way in the distance and my arms beginning to ache. Photos taken to prove to others we had actually made it then making our way around the fort heading inland and through the outer passage hoping for a coffee and something to eat. The next radio message was not well received as the conditions were unsuitable for landing on the beach so make your way to the Ferry Boat and we’ll stop there. Getting along the seafront was a bit bouncy and particularly in the entrance to the harbour and having rounded the post we were swept up to the pub in no time. Some crews went for a pint but we opted for a coffee and a bacon roll from the hut by the car park and I was reassured that all of the other rowers considered this quite a hard long row.

I received congratulations for having achieved a considerable distance for the first time and I remarked are you just trying to kill me off, which then appeared on the whats app group as Kill Bill part one, I replied you will have to try harder next time. I may regret saying that as it could be taken as a challenge but I think I might just give it a go!
