Water Babies

On behalf of all of the cruiser owners, I would just like to express my thanks to all of the Water Babies, most of whom are dinghy sailors who do not even own cruisers, who gave up their weekend for the privilege of standing in cold water. Thanks to you all.

Tudor SC Procure new Committee Boat / Working Boat

In my first communication as Dinghy Captain, I thought I would explain the clubs new acquisition.

A proposal was made to the executive committee last month to buy the old tug on Kendalls Wharf for use as a Committee Boat and Work Boat. I am very pleased to announce that the proposal was accepted and the club now own the tug – a bargain at just £1500.

The tug has now been moved to the compound so that a series of planned works can be completed. I have volunteered to oversee these works, but I am looking for volunteers to help transform this boat. A project plan and budget will be submitted to the exec at their next meeting, but in the meantime, I would like to put together a team of volunteers. Time volunteered on this boat can count towards your duty hours, so if you are short of a few, this is a great opportunity. The work can be completed at a time that suits you… the club will supply the materials and tools required to complete the works.

If you are interested in this exciting project, please email me at dinghies or call 07734768211

Winter is nigh!

Sad to say that there are still quite a few boats – Tenders and Sailing dinghies – in the compound that are unnamed and some with flat tyres. We will be moving several boats within the next 2 days to clear space for the Cruisers over the Winter, please can you check that your boat is not going to cause us any problems.
Please check that:

• YOUR BOAT IS CLEARLY NAMED. Tenders should be marked t.t. Boat name
• THE TROLLEY IS IN GOOD ORDER AND IT CAN BE MOVED EASILY.

Many thanks,

Linda Vacher
Compound Bosun
