Dinghy Reorganisation

Many thanks to everybody who helped with the reorganisation on Saturday. We managed to get through a lot of tidying up of the compound and made a start improving the surface at the north end.

The trees round the edge will be cut back on Monday and then everything put back into its winter space on Tuesday evening.

Recovery Weekend

Key reminders for recovery weekend:

• The recovery briefing will be on Wednesday 12th October at 20:00. This is an important time that we use to plan the weekend, as well as briefing newer members and updating people on any new safety information.
• Recovery weekend is Sat 15th/Sun 16th October. Saturday start time 06:00.

Please bring your blocks, clearly identified with your boat’s name, to the club before the weekend and put them inside the north gate.

Please do not park cars in the compound this week as we will be moving boats around during the week.

Note that the weather is forecast to be windy this weekend. There is a significant chance that recovery may take the whole weekend, or even spill into the following weekend if conditions dictate.

Early/Late recovery and relaunch

If you would like to be recovered or relaunched outside of the planned weekends, please let the bosuns know asap at bosuns_committee

In particular, please let me know if you plan to launch late next year, as moving late boats around causes significant extra work for the hoist drivers if we cannot plan this prior to recovery. We have only so far been notified of one late launcher.

Launch weekend is planned for 1st & 2nd April 2023, with a reserve of 8th & 9th.

Power Boat Training and Familiarisation – updated programme

The training and familiarisation programme for power boat duties has been revised. The aim of the update is to use our resources more effectively.

The objectives are to unlock the backlog of volunteers caused over the last few years by various circumstances, to give members better opportunities to fill their duty quotas, to fill the regular gaps in our calendar for this year and to reduce the chance for gaps in future years.

The programme now enables the following:

1. Different routes to achieve sign off depending on experience and qualifications
2. Making use of the skills and experience of existing trained helms and crew to contribute to the development of others
3. Focusing the very limited resource of member instructors on sessions for those that would benefit most (new/nearly new to power boats) and the higher risk roles (new helms trained in-house)

Please refer to the attached flowchart for details. This only covers standard power boat helm and crew. Power boat assistance for cruiser lift in/out and driving the Committee Boat will be dealt with separately.

Complementing this programme will be a session run over the winter months in the club house. This is envisaged as fairly informal training/discussion event, that would include watching RYA DVDs/videos about topics such as capsize recovery and man overboard/casualty retrieval, sharing experiences and good practice. It will be a useful refresher for those who are trained but have limited recent on water experience of such circumstances and will also help those keen to progress. It will help us achieve more consistency and put us all in a better position to respond effectively and confidently if such circumstances arise. This will likely be on an evening and I will arrange refreshments to be available for purchase.

There are a few actions for you as a result of this programme update.

Firstly, if you are interested in power boat training (and haven’t already) please do submit your request via the club website. Go to the Members tab and drop down the menu to Request Training. Only apply for the relevant level. Then please email training to confirm your level of experience and any power boat qualifications (or confirm if not). Include specific training levels and dates of training and experience. We can then identify the appropriate route for you and find some dates.

Secondly if you are already trained and have volunteered for duties over the coming months – thank you – I may be in touch to assign you a buddy if I have a trainee lined up. They will shadow you for the prep for a race on land/join you on board for the event.

If you are trained and can be available to offer an on-land familiarisation session please email me with your dates and I can gather some interested people. We have floodlights so this could be on an evening, before or after a race, or on a date where the boats aren’t scheduled for use.

If you are an RYA qualified power boat instructor who has kept up to date with your logs and could help with training please email me.

All of the below will count as duty hours:

• Volunteering as assistant helm or crew through this programme
• Running a separate familiarisation session (buddying as part of your usual duty is already counted and won’t be doubled up)
• Attending an organised training session

An important reminder: this programme is simply an in-house arrangement suitable for our particular club purposes. We don’t offer any formal qualifications. For these, we would recommend contacting our neighbours, the Andrew Simpson Watersports Centre. They offer discounts for Tudor members. https://andrewsimpsoncentres.org/activities/powerboating/.

Any questions please email me at training.

Thank you

A rowing item that I’ve had passed to me this week:

World Rowing Coastal Championships

Great Britain turned out in full force at the first Championships to be held in the British Isles, with 48 crews competing against 22 other nations in three days of exciting racing.

12 crews reached their respective A finals and a gold medal came from UL Tyrian Club in the coastal men’s coxed quadruple sculls (CM4X+).

Many of the crews came from established coastal rowing clubs, while others were novices trying their hand at the sport for the first time.

Find a full review of the GBR crews’ performance at:

https://www.britishrowing.org/2022/10/48-crews-take-great-britain-to-12-a-finals-and-one-gold-medal-at-the-world-rowing-coastal-championships-2022/

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.

Dinghy Activities This Weekend

This weekend sees the end of the main season of racing at TSC, it seems to have gone by in a flash as usual.

Saturday 8th October is the last of the Gould / Challenge series for 2022 starting from the club line at 10.30am

Sunday 8th October, there will be two short races back to back from the club line starting at 11.00am from which the following trophies will be awarded, Novice, Endeavour, Sophie Ludford. Please note that the Sophie Ludford is open to all members and will be decided by using the two races together. The Novice / Endeavour have various criteria to award them, please have a look on the website for full details.

Compound Re-org will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 8th so please make sure your boat label is legible, your tyres are pumped up and if you are going to sail in the winter you have let Colin (compound bosun) know. There will be some boats at the end that will have more tricky access so please only put your name down if you genuinely are going to be on the water. If you have gardening tools then please bring them so we can cut back brambles etc around the compound.

Dinghy End of Season Meeting – look out for a date for this in the near future.

Hannah Barnes
Dinghy Captain

Dinghy Reorganisation

Dinghy Reorganisation will be on Saturday 8th October at 13:30, after the race. We will be moving dinghies around to their winter positions and creating space for machinery to come in and cut the trees around the fence. We also plan to dismantle some of the old dinghy rack and bosun’s area, move the road trailers, do some gardening and lay tie-down chains, so there will be plenty to do. Dinghies for summer-only spaces can remain in the compound until the weekend of 15th Oct to participate in the final races.

Apologies to laser owners who found their boats moved at the weekend – we moved these around in order to work out what space we will have over the winter and I should have sent out a message to this effect.

Do remember to let me know if you intend to sail over the winter months.

A reminder that all cruiser owners need to be at the club for the whole weekend to help with the many jobs that need doing.

Please let me know if you have a current first aid qualification.

Early/Late recovery and relaunch

Social Update

Calling all budding and keen photographers! I have seen so many amazing photos on the groups that I thought it would be a nice idea to start a competition.

Anyone that wishes to enter would send their photos in and they would get judged by all Tudor members each month.

The winning photos could be displayed at the club, the idea being this time next year we would have 12 stunning photos, we could then create a TSC calendar to sell and make some money for charity.

I just need to sort out the logistics, but I wanted to give you a heads up.

Recovery 15th/16th October

Please could you pre book your food to ensure you receive the meal you would prefer. Any cruisers willing to help in the galley could you please contact me, thank you.

Central Heating Boost Switch

Hi All Tudor members,

There is now a manual override “Boost” switch fitted to the club central heating system, it is situated next to the light switches on the left as you enter the club foyer. Please see the attached picture. You have the option of 1/4, 1/2, 1 or 2 hours obviously depending on how long you expect to be there.

This is part of several system changes being implemented by the maintenance team at the behest of the club executive to ameliorate the recent massive rises in energy costs.

Please take extra care when using gas, water and electricity as club costs are rising quite dramatically.

Dinghies

Dinghy winter sailing
If you plan to sail over winter or need winter access for repairs, you must be added to a Winter Sailing List. Please email me to be added to this list.

We will be packing non-sailing dinghies into the north end of the compound to give us more space for cruiser lay-up.

We may also use the new patio area in front of the clubhouse as overflow for smaller dinghies.

Compound Reorganisation
This will take place on Saturday 8th October at 13:30 after the dinghy race. It is a good way to work off some maintenance hours.

Dinghy Maintenance
Please ensure that your dinghy is empty of water, has tyres pumped up and is unchained prior to the reorganisation. You are required to ensure that your dinghy space is kept tidy – weeds cut back etc.

Summer Only Spaces
If you have a summer-only space, please remove your dinghy prior to Compound Reorganisation on 8th October.

Cruisers

We have a number of additional cruisers to lay up this year, as well as the Divers’ equipment and a new tractor. As a result, we are planning to use a further row north in the compound for cruisers. The surface in this area is poor. We are looking at both short and long-term solutions to improve this, but we may be limited in what we can do this year.

Early/late recovery and relaunch
If you would like to be recovered early/late, or launched early/late next year, please let me know asap.

Recovery Weekend
Recovery weekend is Sat 15th/Sun 16th October.

Briefing
The recovery briefing will be on Wednesday 12th October at 20:00.

Relaunch
Relaunch is likely to be 1st & 2nd April 2023.

Help needed at recovery
We are looking for people to get involved in the various jobs that need doing for the weekend. If you want to help – particularly first aid, galley and water babies – please let me know. Just a reminder that all cruiser owners must attend both Saturday and Sunday.

Any questions – do let me or the bosun know.

Weekend Racing

Gould/Challenge series

This Saturday is the first race for the Gould and Challenge series with a race start time of 4pm. The racing is open to all club members. The Gould Series is for members who have finished at least 4 qualifying races in the class they are entering. Gould-qualified competitors will be allocated a personal handicap number based on their prior performance. If you do not qualify for the Gould series, then you will be competing for the Challenge Trophy. Both the Gould and challenge series will be sailed together. So, on the day there will only be one race and regardless of what racing you have done this year there is a trophy to compete for.

Horse Sands Fort Race

This Sunday is the re-scheduled Horse Sands Fort race starting at 10am. This is a long distance out of harbour race that is high risk than the normal in harbour racing. For this event to go ahead we still need a patrol boat helm and crew. If you are trained up and available, please volunteer via dutyman by midnight Friday.

Bosun’s Update

Old Chain Wanted

We need to create tie-downs for dinghies in the inner compound. If members have any old top-chain that could be used for this, please will you bring it to the club and put it next to the clubhouse by the fuel store.

First Aiders for Recovery Weekend

We need to add to our list of qualified first-aiders to help cover Cruiser Recovery and Launch weekends.

If you have a current first aid certificate and can help out with this, please drop me an email.

Rowing Update

The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial River Procession

The Great River Race (GRR) is London’s River Marathon. A spectacular 21.6 mile fixed seat rowing gig race up the River Thames between Millwall and Ham which attracts crews from all over the globe.

Last Saturday was the date of the 2022 race, and on Friday morning 5 gigs (Olive, Lady Jane, Friendship, Navigator, Freedom) left Tudor Sailing Club heading for the start at Millwall in the East End of London. But by the time the gigs reached the starting point notification had been received that the organisers had decided, as a sign of respect to the Queens sudden death, that the race would be cancelled and replaced with a memorial river procession. The rules for the procession were that fancy dress would not be allowed and in line with maritime tradition all craft would be required to fly a flag at full mast with a piece of black fabric or ribbon attached.

The cancellation of the race was a great disappointment to all those involved but, for the majority, disappointment soon turned to excitement with the realisation that the 25 rowers/passengers and coxes from Tudor Sailing Club had been given the opportunity and honour of taking part in a historic event.

So on Saturday morning a Fleet of 168 rowing gigs assembled on the start line and at 11:15am the procession commenced with the slowest boats leaving first and the others in accordance with their designated handicap times. The boats travelled up the Thames past the historic landmarks of central London being cheered along by crowds who were watching from the bridges and banks of the Thames, with the majority of boats arriving at the finish line between 2.5 and 3.5 hrs later.

Whilst the procession was not timed and trophies were not awarded, Freedom and Navigator took the honour of leading the procession, with Lady Jane, Olive and Friendship taking their place in the main procession.

It was a memorable and on occasions emotional day for all those involved and whilst formal celebrations afterwards had been cancelled the Tudor rowers organised their own tasteful entertainment and helped ensure that the bar takings for the event organisers did not suffer too much.

Plans are already in hand for next years GRR on the 16th September 2023 when it is hoped that Tudor will be entering 6 boats, and potentially bringing back some trophies.

I thought this LNtM from Portsmouth Harbour was worth including this week. With all the big events happening at the moment it can be easy to miss the smaller changes (all be it I can imagine implementing them is far from a small job).

“With effect from 1200 on Saturday 10 September 2022, recognising the formal proclamation as King of His Majesty King Charles III, the Queen’s Harbour Master Portsmouth will assume the title King’s Harbour Master Portsmouth (abbreviated to “KHM”). After this time, all radio calls on VHF Channels 11 and 13 are to use the callsign “King’s Harbour Master” or “KHM”.”

Full details at: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/khm/Portsmouth/Local-Notices/General-Directions/2022/2202-PASSING-OF-HER-MAJESTY-QUEEN-ELIZABETH–AND-ACCESSION-OF-KING-CHARLES-III

Two more KHM LNtM:

Firstly, The 2 Fixed Green (vert) Lights on the southern end of Portsmouth Harbour station are currently unlit: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/khm/Portsmouth/Local-Notices/Navigational-Warnings/2022/22-70

Secondly, Multiple Cross Solent Swims: 17 – 20 September: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/khm/Portsmouth/Local-Notices/LNTM/2022/22-102

I am very much hoping those last two links work, apologies if they don’t. The links in the emails use QHM, and the first redirected when I checked it. The second two I have manually adjusted because the Royal Navy website went offline as I was editing this!

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.

Yeehaw! Bring your friends and family down to the club for a rootin’ tootin’ time! We will have an amazing band with a caller who will guide you through all the steps. So dig out those cowboy hats and boots and come and join us! We will be serving sausage and mash with onion gravy from 6. https://webcollect.org.uk/tudorsc/event/barn-dance-4

Solent Tsunami Talk – Friday 28th October

Come along to hear this amazing true story by Steve Russell, a former RNLI crewman. A dramatic encounter of a Solent Tsunami by two Portsmouth Lifeboats on the East Winner bank and the subsequent hunt for the cause. You will be introduced to natural phenomena that few would have believed could happen right here, in the Solent! This was such a dramatic event it was kept very quiet about it, fearing ridicule. The talk will begin at approximately 7pm. We will be serving jacket potatoes with salad, coleslaw and your choice of fillings from 6pm. Please book if you wish to come along so we can get an idea on numbers, thank you. https://webcollect.org.uk/tudorsc/event/solent-tsunami-talk Please keep your eyes on the social calendar as many more events will be added soon.

Bursledon Regatta

Our Gigs had an away day on Saturday. After 50 years in the Bursledon pool, the Bursledon, Swanwick, and Warsash Regatta moved to Warsash Sailing Club. This year’s “Caribbean” themed regatta, included the annual Bursledon Gig race. The course was roughly two miles. A sprint against the tide on the Warsash side of the River, ending in Kipper Pond, which is the water between the Warsash Sailing Club Jetty and the Maritime Academy Jetty. A brilliantly themed event with vibrant music, colours, and lots of floating frivolity.

It’s been an amazing summer for rowing competitions and congratulations to the four Tudor Rowing crews (Olive, Friendship, Navigator and Freedom) who took part in the Bursledon Regatta. With 12 boats in the race the Tudor crews finished 1st,2nd 4th and 6th overall retaining the Rose Bowl trophy (won by the Friendship crew) and the Sheave Trophy (won by the Freedom crew). The course which run down the Hamble against the tide was a tricky, and busy one to navigate, and particular mention needs to go to all the coxes involved who all did an excellent job on the day.

In addition to retaining the two trophies the rowing section have now gained a new one which was awarded to the Freedom Crew for best overall performance in the 2022 Hamble River Raid and Bursledon Regatta. Anyone visiting the club house will see this amazing trophy next to the bar as it is too big and heavy to fit in the trophy cabinet.

Unfortunately there was no trophy for the best dressed boat otherwise this would have been awarded to team Olive who rowed the course with inflatable palm trees in the boat and still managed to achieve 4th overall. Great job team Olive!

As you’ll see from the attached pictures everyone made the most of the hospitality from the organising sailing clubs. A really fun day which showcased the teamwork and friendliness of TSC.

Next Saturday is the Great River Race, also known as London’s river marathon. 21.6 miles on the Thames. We’ve got 5 gigs making an appearance including our new gig Lady Jane making her debut in the capital. Watch this space and social media for pictures and updates.

Hopefully this has come out as intended, it isn’t easy editing on a mobile phone (but it does give you something to do while waiting in A&E!).
