Cruiser Moorings

We’re moving closer to the point where we can begin to recover a dozen or so moorings to the compound for refurbishing. Please note that this will cause some disruption to slipway usage while the moorings are brought ashore, and then placed back onto the slipway for picking up by the harbour Board for relaying. Dates and times are tide and weather dependant – they will be communicated as soon as we have this confirmed with Langstone Harbour Board.

Affected mooring holders have been contacted directly.

Sailing Club Manager

The Exec has been appraising an alternative system to WebCollect/DutyMan, called Sailing Club Manager. This is a system specifically designed for sailing clubs, and is used by many of the clubs in the area. The main advantage for members is that only a single login is required for subscriptions, bookings, duties, documents etc. From an administration point of view, having a single system simplifies operations considerably, saving a lot of time and improving accuracy. We are currently going through the process of setting this up, hopefully to introduce this for renewals in the New Year. The main website will remain as-is. We will give a full briefing at the AGM.

Colin Thorpe, Commodore, commodore

Anniversary Coasters

If you ordered a coaster and have not yet collected it they are behind the bar. Please tick off your name on the list when you have collected.

Hannah Barnes, Dinghy Captain, dinghies

Dinghy Captain Vacancy

This is a sad note to let you know that we currently have no Dinghy Captain. My term has ended but no-one has come forward to take my place. The 2025 calendar has been drafted and now just needs finalising so the biggest job is done for you. You will have a full committee behind you to support as well. If you would like to volunteer then please drop Alex or Colin a line.

Hannah Barnes, Dinghy Captain, dinghies

Ebb & Flow

Following on from my piece last week (which I have left in below) the following talk may be of interest. “Water Recycling Technologies“, An online talk by expert Dr. Marc Pidou (Senior Lecturer in Resource Recovery, Cranfield University). See the attached poster for more details, or visit https://havantmatters.org/events/.

Effluent Recycling

Southern Water have plans for “Effluent Recycling” and there is a consultation inviting comments by 4th December. This is a separate project to the Portsmouth Water reservoir at Havant Thicket, but will result in mixing the recycled water with the spring water in the reservoir should it go ahead. It also involves building a recycling plant in Brockhampton on the old tip, which involves risks in disturbing whatever has been dumped there over the years and allowing it to leach into Langstone Harbour.

To find out about the project, risks and impacts you can read more at https://havantmatters.org/ which also has details about how to respond to the consultation.

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.

New / Newish Member Get Together

Friday November 22nd

Quick reminder about the get together on 22nd Nov. Aimed at new / newish members as we’d love to know how you’re settling in and any help you need….but ALL members are very welcome and the more the merrier. Couldn’t be more informal (unless you turn up in PJs ) and you’re welcome to bring supper or takeaway. Bar will be open. Drop in to say hello or stay all evening. See you there.

Jane Dare, Rear Commodore, rearcommodore

Bird Aware Solent – Winter Field trip

Great talk from Rich last night about the birds that winter in our local harbours. I’ll be chatting to Rich next week to get some provisional dates for the local bird ‘walk’ to see and learn more.

The walk will be somewhere local along our shoreline and you’ll be out around 2 hours. It’s not a long arduous walk, in fact Rich said you hardly walk at all. It’s more about binoculars/ telescope and looking / talking.

There’s no charge. About 20 people per walk. And he’s happy to run several if there is interest.

If you’re interested please pop me a quick email or WhatsApp message and I’ll add you to the list and advise the available dates as soon as possible.

Jane Dare, Rear Commodore, rearcommodore

Mooring and Anchoring Survey

I think I may have shared this before, but doing so again won’t hurt so…

The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, working on the Solent Seascape Project – a 5-year initiative to restore and protect vital marine habitats in the Solent. As part of this project, they are gathering insights from boaters about mooring and anchoring practices in the Solent. Your input is crucial to shaping conservation strategies while considering the boating community’s needs. The survey is open until 31st December 2024.

Why Participate?

Influence conservation strategies with your experiences. Help protect marine habitats for future generations of boaters. Win great prizes, including a year’s free membership to the Wildlife Trust, a £20 FatFace Foundation voucher, or a guided marine biology shore walk for up to 8 people.

Commodore’s Notes

Thank you for supporting the Presentation and Celebration Evening on Friday. It was a great reminder of the wide range of activities and events that go on at Tudor throughout the year, and what a vibrant club it is!

Thank you also to those who attended the Nominations Meeting. We have nominations for the majority of positions. We do still have vacancies for Rear Commodore (particularly looking at the club development plan), Maintenance Officer and Dinghy Captain.

Colin Thorpe, Commodore, commodore

Southsea Rowing Club

Following the recent consultation, to which we received exclusively supportive responses, I am pleased to let you know that Southsea Rowing Club has been given Group Membership Status at Tudor while the sea defence work is in progress in Southsea. They will be storing their boats and equipment at the Andrew Simpson Centre, but using our slipway and changing rooms to access the water. Please give them a warm Tudor welcome.

Colin Thorpe, Commodore, commodore

Ebb & Flow

The autumn and winter Tidal Diamonds can get a little shorter with less on the water activity; I say less because we still have the Frostbite and Icicle series for dinghy sailors and there is no stopping the rowers, possibly even if the harbour were to freeze over again (it did in 1963 for those not local / old enough – that’s before my time too just to be clear ). See below for the rowing WhatsApp groups to keep up to date with when they are going out.

With that in mind I’ve repeated the Social Update this week. I will also add a quick plug for the Bird Aware Solent talk this coming Friday. We had one of their talks at the recent LHB Open Forum and it was both informative and entertaining. Well worth a visit to the club – as if the bar and the company isn’t in itself

Those new to cruiser ownership, or who would find a reminder helpful, the RYA has an article on “Winterising your boat engine” which may be a helpful read. To find out more visit;https://www.rya.org.uk/blog/winterising-your-engine

Kayaking

It’s been a lovely season and I’m sad it’s ended but it’s good to see people still going out when there’s a nice spell.

Thinking ahead; if anyone be willing and able to drive the trailer for a kayak trip to Basingstoke please let me know. We can then have a discussion about dates to suit you to go in the calendar for next year. You would be paid handsomely for your trouble in the form of bacon butty’s!

If anyone has any other ideas for kayaking events or how to encourage people on the water please let me know.

Finally, I hope to see kayakers at the awards evening; there will be an inaugural kayak award!

Terri Johnson, Kayak Captain, kayaks

Ebb & Flow

Although we are at the jet washing and scraping end of the winter layup, there is an interesting article on the RYA website on reducing the environmental impact of antifouling. Antifouling is a bit of a quandary given it is intended to keep growth off the hull, but environmentally we don’t want it to impact the same wildlife elsewhere (if nothing else if it is growing somewhere else it isn’t on the hull!). It also has a notable impact on the yards where it is used unless collected and disposed off properly. To find out more visit: https://www.rya.org.uk/blog/protect-collect-dispose

Cruiser Recovery

Thank you again to everybody involved in cruiser recovery for making this another successful operation.

Just a reminder – sails must be removed from your cruiser to comply with our insurance. Ladders must be locked, and jet washing can only be done until the end of December.

Club Roles

We still need somebody to take on the bar officer role.

We are also looking for nominations for Dinghy and Rowing Captains.

Please let me know if you are able to take on one of these.

Cruiser Recover

There will be a Cruiser Recovery Briefing on Wednesday 9th October at 2000hrs. We will talk through arrangements for this year, take any questions and provide tips for those new to the recovery operation. Jane Dare will also be there to take any additional food bookings for the Recovery Weekend. Please make every effort to attend.

Cruiser Launch will begin at 0600 on Saturday 12th October, please park in Kendall’s car park. All cruiser owners, whether launching are not, are expected to be at the club from 0600 to assist with the launch. This has long-since been part of the arrangement for having a cruiser at Tudor.

Rear Commodore’s Notes

Cruiser Recovery Catering

Please find attached the menu for Cruiser recovery weekend. It’s really helpful and appreciated if you book your food as soon as possible to help Nicola, Sheri, and me with numbers. As the saying goes, if you snooze you lose and you’ll have to take pot luck on the day . Also if you’d like Dave & Pete to serve a vegetarian breakfast option please let me know as soon as you’ve ordered on web collect. I’ll be at the recovery briefing on Wednesday evening and you can place orders with me then. Please bring a payment card.

Friday 1st November

Please keep this date free and join us for an evening of celebration and presentations. The link to book food is in Inga’s piece above. Or pop onto web collect.

Friday 22nd November

Newish Members get together.

If you’ve joined Tudor this year the flag officers and class captains would love to see you and chat about how your year has been so far.

A very informal evening. Bring family. Bring your supper if you wish . No booking required.

Naturally all members are welcome too, however long you’ve been a member it’s always great to see the club house busy.

On which note, I will call it a night and send this out without further delay.
