A Very Informative Talk…

On Saturday, 15th February we are pleased to be hosting a talk organised by Chichester Cruiser Racing Club. As part of their annual series of talks CCRC looked to involve clubs throughout our area, and we’re pleased that we are able to host one of this winter’s events.

Whatever level of sailing we participate in, one of the joys of harnessing the wind is to get the best out of our boat. Whether that’s a club race or a cruise across the channel, we would all like to be as fast as possible.

The talk on the 15th is being given by Dick Batt, a renowned sailmaker, who will give an insight on how to get the most out of our rig and make our boat sail faster. The talk will be of particular interest to cruiser sailors, but should also be informative for any sailors, no matter what their discipline.

The talk starts at 4.30pm and the bar will be open. This will be followed by drinks and conversation. There will be food served at 6.45pm. Please use the link below to order either Beef Bourguignon or Veg Chilli. Food bookings will close at 9pm on Thursday 13th February.

I look forward to seeing as many members there as possible.

Membership System – Sailing Club Manager

We are making good progress with the forthcoming more from WebCollect to Sailing Club Manager.

Early next week you will receive an email from the new system giving you a link to click to set your password. You will then be able to login to Sailing Club Manager.

Please check your email junk folder as a number of the test emails have gone to junk.

When you receive the email, please follow the process to get access and then check your contact details along with details of any boats that you own. It is important that you let us know of any inaccuracies before we start the renewals process.

Also, please have a look around the system and give us any feedback. We are still working on things like adding club documents, but the membership, boats and calendar areas are largely complete.

At the AGM, some changes to the renewals process were agreed:

1. Move the subscription year back to 1 March
2. Allow Membership and Compound fees to be paid over 6 monthly instalments.

If you would like to pay by instalments, please email SCM and we will flag this against your account. You will need to be set up to pay by direct debit using GoCardless

The new system will send you an email in the middle of February asking you to renew your membership and boats. We will send instructions on how to do this, although the process is very straightforward. If you pay by direct debit using GoCardless you will have to fill in a new Mandate Form on the website.

We will be arranging a few evenings where people can come to the club to get a hand with the new system.

If you have any issues with the new system, please email SCM.

Colin Thorpe, Sailing Club Manager, scm

Rowing News

Our rowers have continued to be active. On the weekend 25th January, Steve Woodbridge, Kirsty Stark and Martino Pani travelled to Silver Wing Sailing Club in Wraysbury to take part in a rowing event that attracted competitors from as far away as Penzance. Crews of 6/7 from different clubs were mixed up and rowed together through a series of heats and finals. This included a row in the top gig in the 3 Harbours area, ‘Spirit of Langstone’. All in all they got 10 races under their belts and had a great day amongst some familiar faces including old friends from Chichester.

On Saturday 1st February, our rescheduled winter series event took place. There were 8 boats on the water including 3 from visiting clubs. This is a handicapped event with 2 more races yet to take place, so there was a lot riding on the results. Navigator was first gig over the line followed by Lady Jane. This race coincided with an icicles race for dinghies so the harbour was full of Tudor boats and made for good spectating.

It was a damp, cold afternoon and dinghy sailors, rowers and spectators got together after the racing to enjoy a warming curry in the clubhouse.

The Solent Seascape Project recently launched it’s State of Nature Report, so I though this week I would add a link to their website. There is information there about their work, and links to recordings of some of their talks. The main website is: https://solentseascape.com/. The talks, which include local wildlife, water quality and eco mooring, can be found at: https://solentseascape.com/training-and-resources/. The report itself is available from: https://solentseascape.com/resource/solent-state-of-nature-report-solent-seascape-project/.

A couple of interesting links from the RYA again this week. Firstly one that seems somewhat late, but to be fair the particularly cold weather often comes in the new year, so to find out how to “Protect your boat this winter” visit: https://www.rya.org.uk/blog/protect-your-boat-in-winter. Perhaps bookmark it for next winter!

This next one is looking towards the coming season, with information on how to deal with sailing concussions. For what could be very useful knowledge (although hopefully of the sort that is there but not needed) visit: https://www.rya.org.uk/water-safety/sailing-concussions.

Finally I will quickly note that the WebCollect link on the website has been removed in anticipation of the coming changes. Links to event bookings will be included in the Tidal Diamond (as per the one above), but you can always use the link provided below at the top of the Useful Links section. It can also be found from the website if you scroll down to the bottom and click on one of the entries in the Tidal Diamonds section. As a quick reminder, as noted last week, please do not use it for renewals. These will be sent when they are ready and will use the new system.

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.

Rowing Update

Finally!! With a change in the weather, the rowing section has managed to enjoy some calm but chilly rows.

The Tuesday morning row, that launches at 08.00, has provided us with some spectacular sunrises and now that the days are beginning to draw out we have been treated to beautiful sunsets on calm seas.

On Saturday 18th January however, in-spite of the calm seas, the rowers were anything but calm as they competed in the 3rd race of the winter series. The club house was buzzing as Martino delivered his cox briefing and once the race started it became evident that all 7 boats were pretty evenly matched. Navigator was first over the line and there was a close tussle for second and third place.

Hillhead competed in their first race and we were also joined by Seafarers Rowing club.

The 2nd race ( rescheduled after it was cancelled) is scheduled for the 1st February with a later start time of 13.00. Come and join us if you fancy getting involved.

Winter Maintenance of Bruce

Bruce the committee boat is in the compound and needs some maintenance before being relaunched. You can claim duty hours for this work if you still need to do some before renewals. The following jobs need doing:

• Move the mooring anti chafe & thimble
• Replace broken flag holders
• Paint anti-slip on deck
• Paint anti-foul on the bottom of the hull
• Paint “Bruce” on the ladder

Contact Mark Swallow for more details. training

Renewals

Hi All. As you may be aware, we are moving to a new management system and 2025 renewals will be done through this. More info will be made available shortly. The current WebCollect system may appear to let you renew now, but please don’t do this as it will complicate the transfer to Sailing Club Manager.

Thank you for your cooperation.

There were issues with last weeks Tidal Diamond, so apologies if you didn’t receive one. The main content was a repeat of the AGM notice, so once things were working again there was little value in a resend (particularly with no way to know how many were successfully sent).

On the subject of the AGM, there is still one vacancy on the Social Committee, and one supporting the Captains Committee. Please get in touch if you can help out with either of these, or want more details of what is involved. A big thank you to those stepping down, and welcome to those taking up the mantle.

Next we have some useful links (the first two are repeats of last week for those that missed it).

The Dinghy & Watersports Show is on 22nd and 23rd February in Farnborough. Details at: https://www.rya.org.uk/events/dinghy-show.

“The RYA’s seven common senses for safe sailing”, a few simple reminders for the coming season: https://www.rya.org.uk/blog/7-common-senses.

Maritime and Coastguard Agency has issued new guidance for safe navigation in the digital age, for details visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/maritime-and-coastguard-agency-issues-new-guidance-for-safe-navigation-in-the-digital-age.

Finally, The Marine Conservation Agency has a page on “24 marine animals found in UK seas” that may be of interest. Not all can be found locally, but an interesting read none the less: https://www.mcsuk.org/news/24-marine-animals-found-in-uk-seas/.

Hangover Race Cancelled

For those that aren’t on Facebook or the Tudor Dinghy Sailors WhatsApp, “Sadly due to the forecast strong winds tomorrow, we have taken the decision to cancel the Hangover Race. The 2025 dinghy sailing season will now kick off on Saturday 4 January for a hopefully more sedate Icicle Series Race (hangovers optional!)”

I’ve left the AGM reminder in again, just to be sure nobody forgets. I will also note that the food for Quiz Night doesn’t appear to be on WebCollect yet, but I’m sure it will be soon – although possibly not until next year!

So that’s a wrap on 2024, see you on the other side.

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.

** Happy New Year **

Paul Tansom, Tidal Diamond Editor, tidal_diamonds
