It’s the final fun race night of the season, so do come along and join the rowers.

Everyone is welcome as always.

Ebb & Flow

A notice from QHM this week detailing that the Nab End Buoy light is not operating correctly. Details at: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/QHM/Portsmouth/Local-Notices/Navigational-Warnings/2022/2264

I will also note that the man overboard training / refresher listed in the Diary Dates below is in the calendar under the rowing section. For more details check with rowing or in the WhatsApp group.

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.

LV SEE Pursuit Race

This Sunday is the L V See pursuit race starting at 13:00. For those not familiar with pursuit races, all boats start at a specific time based on your Tudor handicap number. With the slowest boat starting first. The theory goes that if all boats taking part do equally well then everyone finishes at the same time. In practice the sailors sailing better will either stay in front of the fast boats or, if sailing a fast boat, catch the slower boats up.

The start times after the start signal are attached to this email and will be displayed at the bottom of the race box steps. If anyone is wanting more information about pursuit races then please feel free to email me. Also the race officer will be around before the start sequence and is happy to answer any questions you might have. We still need 2 patrol boat helms for this race so if you are trained up then please volunteer on Dutyman as soon as possible.

Kayak and Dinghy Captain Updates

Since the clubs AGM there has been no formal Dinghy Captain. As Sailing Sec and outgoing Dinghy Captain, I did take on some of the role but it was far from ideal. Which is why I am pleased to announce that Hannah Barnes has been accepted as dinghy captain. This does mean that Hannah has now stepped down as Kayak Captain and the role was advertised to the kayak section. Two members came forward to volunteer for the role but unfortunately only one of them was eligible to stand for the role according the clubs constitution. So I am pleased to announce that the new kayak captain is Alex Ford.

Rowing Update

Tudor Challenge

Thank you to everyone that helped make the club’s first Tudor Challenge a success on Saturday. We have had some fantastic feedback from our own members and the clubs we hosted. All are keen for us to make our fixed seat rowing challenge an annual event in the harbour’s calendar. Mother Nature rightly stole the show with some blistering heat but with sensible precautions everyone had lots of fun. Congratulations to TSC’s Navigator crew who won the overall Tudor Challenge Cup. A full list of winners will be available on the website soon.

Everyone there on Saturday made our neighbouring sailing and rowing clubs feel really welcome. Brilliant job TSC

Friendly Friday Rowing Race night

Friday 26th August will be the final fun race night of the summer season. It’s the usual format that I tell you every month but weather willing there might be some water pistols added this time to keep you on your toes.

We will also be hosting more local sailing and rowing clubs to join us in our Bursledons and enjoy a Tudor sunset.

Everyone is welcome as always. Even if you don’t row, please join us.

If you’d like to row please arrive by 6pm for the 6.15 briefing.

Food will be served later in the evening and this month it is authentic Italian Lasagne (and a vegetarian pasta option). Because of preparation time pre booking will be essential this month and a web collect link will be available shortly. [or keep checking here: https://webcollect.org.uk/tudorsc if you want to catch it as soon as it appears – Ed]

I have been advised that the outboard motor has been stolen from Eryngium sometime between 30th July and 8th August (no other damage has been done). It may be worth checking your boat if you havn’t in that period.

On a slightly more positive note, Chichester Harbour have published “An essential safety guide for the new or less experienced mariner”. There are a few Chichester specific bits, but some is generally relevant even if you’re not visiting our neighbouring harbour. You can download the PDF at: https://conservancy.co.uk/assets/files/cms_item/32/d-Essential_Safety_Leaflet_LORES-L1sSGPPDV4.pdf

Sailing Update

Interclub Race

Unfortunately due to the availability of volunteers from Locks sailing club they have moved the date of the interclub to Sunday 14th August and as this clashes with the Binness race. The interclub race has been removed from the Tudor calendar. For multiple reasons the Binness race cannot be moved to the Saturday.

Priory bay cruise

On Saturday 20th August we were hoping to have a dinghy cruise to priory bay on the isle of wight but unfortunately we will not be able to leave the harbour. So instead I am hoping we will be able to sail down to the landing craft wreck which will take in some narrow channels that most harbour users don’t visit. After which we are likely to stop on sword sands for lunch before returning to the club. If the wind direction is not favourable for visiting the landing craft then we will have a gently sail to either sword sand or the ferry boat inn. There will be a briefing on the lawn at 9:30.

Weekend Compound

This coming Saturday we’re hosting the inaugural Tudor Challenge Rowing Regatta. This is an open event, and we will be welcoming boats and crews from a number of rowing and sailing clubs in the area, as well as visits from the RNLI and Langstone Harbour Board.

Please be aware that the club, compound and slipway will be busy during the day. Boats will be arriving from 07:00 for the race at 11:00. The race will last for approximately 2 hours, after which time boats will be either moored or recovered prior to refreshments and a prizegiving ceremony.

We will endeavour to ensure that access to the water is kept available for all members during the day.

Please give a regular warm Tudor welcome to visiting crew during the day. Jane Dare (rowing captain) will be available if there are any questions or issues, or please talk to any member of the Tudor rowing section (in blue t-shirts.

Tudor Challenge

Hi everyone

A reminder we’d love to see you this Saturday at our inaugural Tudor Challenge rowing race. We’re delighted to be welcoming sailing and rowing clubs across the three harbours for the 10 mile race. If you can join us the race start is 11am and we expect crews to start crossing the finish line from 1pm. There’ll be some fabulous new and traditional rowing vessels taking part. Please do come and enjoy some food and sunshine.

The Emsworth RNLI fund raising branch are holding a Quay Sale at Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club on Saturday from 10am to 12pm and I’ve been told they have a boat jumble as part of it, so if anyone isn’t out on the water enjoying the weather (not to mention the Tudor Challenge, so perhaps I shouldn’t be mentioning this) it may be worth a visit. I think given the choice I’d prefer being on the water, just don’t tell my contact with the Emsworth branch!!

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.
