High Water Cruise

For this Sundays High water cruise to go ahead we Ideally need a patrol boat helm and crew. If you are trained up please volunteer via Dutyman. if there is no patrol boat crew then the cruise will go ahead but will have no patrol boat cover.

High Water Dinghy Cruise

This Sunday afternoon we have another dinghy cruise in company. The outing will most likely be around the north-eastern part of the harbour and include some (but not all) of the following: passage through the North Binness channel, passage through the Binness Islands, landing on Long Island (bring a drink and biscuits), a stop at ‘Stoke beach’ on Hayling Island (where an ice-cream could be purchased if you come prepared). The actual itinerary will of course depend on the conditions on the day, in particular the ice-cream landing requires a wind direction with plenty of east in it (and some sun, ideally). If you are unfamiliar with this part of the harbour then have a look at Chart – Whole Harbour on the website under Members/Useful Documents. High water is at 4. Please be dressed and semi-rigged before a briefing at 1.45 on the club patio, after which we will all then finish rigging and launch, ready to set sail as a group around 2.30pm.

Bart’s Bash

This year we have been invited by the Portsmouth Andrew Simpson Centre to take part in their Bart’s Bash race on 11th September. This will be instead of the club hosting its own Bart’s Bash race. There will be a racing briefing at 13:30 at the Andrew Simpson Centre which you are encouraged to attend to find out about how the race will be run. This is followed by launching at 14:00 with the race starting at 14:30 until approximately 15:30. To enter please drop me an email as well as booking a race entry at the following link: https://asportsmouth.checkfront.co.uk/reserve/?category_id=39 The £5 entry fee is your donation for the Andrew Simpson Foundation. If you are using your own boat you do not need RYA level 2.

The Portsmouth Andrew Simpson Centre will also be hosting some taster sessions during the day if racing does not take your fancy. Which can be booked at the same link.

For the Barts bash event we would like to support ASWC by sending a patrol boat to cover our members. For this to happen we still need patrol boat helm and crew.

Tudor Rowers Show Their Mettle

The 10th annual Round Hayling Rowing Race took place last Sunday with Tudor Rowers setting the pace.

Unlike previous years, there were almost perfect conditions this year, although the sun and heat made the 13 nautical mile course a real test of the rowers mettle.

Due to the handicap system the Bursledon Gigs were the first to leave the start, with Rosie, Trypp Hazard, Navigator and Freedom setting the pace for the 24 boat fleet to follow.

The first half of the race saw the Freedom Crew battling with their nemesis, the Elephant Boatyard for first place, with sometimes only a few feet between the two boats, as the coxes jostled to gain the best of the tide. Unfortunately in the end the Elephant gained the upper hand, and with the benefit of an extra rower they managed to hold their lead.

In the end it was a real hard fought race with the Tudor boats finally finishing in 3rd, 4th, 12th and 15th overall, with the Freedom Crew winning 1st place and Navigator crew 2nd place in the veterans 50+ category.

A big well done to all the Tudor rowers and supporters for such a great effort.

Waiting for the Tide

Defra is updating the UK Marine Strategy Part Three: Programme of Measures and seeking views. That titles sounds a bit heavy going, but “The consultation, open until 29 Nov, is aimed at all groups and individuals who use the sea. Help us achieve our vision for a healthy ocean“. If you are interested in finding out more visit: https://consult.defra.gov.uk/uk-marine-strategy-programme-of-measures-3/uk-marine-strategy-part-3/

For any RYA members I will add that the RYA South Region AGM is on the 30th October. RYA members should have had an email with details, but if you haven’t feel free to drop me an email.

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.

Maintenance Jobs

A new section for the Tidal Diamond where you can check for opportunities to tick off those maintenance hours. Just announcing the feature this week, but watch this space in future Tidal Diamonds. In the mean time see Dutyman for opportunities to help out with the social and sailing events.

I’m sure there will be some stuff here soon, but in the mean time I thought some links to other club duties that can cover maintenance hours would be worth adding (possibly moving to the Useful Links section later).

• Dutyman for sailing related duties: https://dutyman.biz/dmmain.aspx?id=T0001338
• Dutyman for bar and galley duties: https://dutyman.biz/dmmain.aspx?id=T0001746
