Deadline for the next issue of Ebb & Flow – Monday, 21 September 2015

Get into print!

Summer’s almost over – so why not tell us at Ebb & Flow all about your sailing activities over the past few months – as well as anything you’ve got planned for the next few as well.

It’s only with contributions from Tudor members that we can keep the good ship Ebb & Flow afloat on the choppy waters of nautical journalism. This is your opportunity to raise the sails on that interesting article you’ve been meaning to write and see it sailing off to a wider readership.

We need your input to keep Ebb & Flow interesting so please let us know all about your summer. If you are writing an article (and please do), a few photos if you have them help to make it even more interesting (and make it easier to adjust it to fit in the space available).

We can all learn from the nautical experiences of others so let’s hear about your sailing successes and failures – don’t be embarrassed, pseudonyms can be used if you prefer! If you’ve been cruising or racing, why not let us have some information on your tips and or trips, race training ideas, where you’ve been, what you’ve seen, what you’ve eaten when you got there. What about writing an article on a particular type of dinghy or cruiser, practical boating advice or cooking in confined quarters – all contributions gratefully received.

Other ideas for articles: what made you want to get afloat in the first place, what was your first sailing experience; what was your worst (and/or best) sailing experience; what boat would you like to own and why; sailing trivia; most useful piece of kit; book reviews; your favourite nautical film or poem?

Sailing stories, cartoons or photos are all welcome? Don’t be shy, start to write – it’s not that difficult. It’s a bit like sailing in fact – once you’ve pushed off, you’ll soon by underway!

If you have an idea, please get in touch Richard Curtis and send your contributions to him at ebbnflow

Club boats – free to for all members

Tudor Sailing Club: three things you didn’t know last week.

1. Langstone Dinghy Cruise – a great end to the Dinghy Cruising programme with calm waters and fair winds seven dinghies made a gentle afternoon of it with the only slight difficulty being the amusing mooring coming alongside Langstone’s new pontoon. Of some concern was the fact that we made the event family friendly with two RIBs booked to allow up to 12 children on the water; there were none in attendance. Such a shame as the conditions could not be bettered for safe, supported sailing.
2. More unwanted clothing in the Gents Changing room – since mid July the Gents Changing rooms have been filling up with damp, dirty misplaced children’s clothing. It is now placed in the corner for collection. If not collected by the end of August it will be disposed of. The changing rooms are used by all members and as such we all have a responsibility to keep them clean and tidy – children included.
3. Opportunity for keen volunteer in Dinghy Captain role – This is to let the Dinghy members know that I have chosen to step down early from the Dinghy Captain role. I was not intending to stand for re-election come 2016, however with the completion of the 2015 Dinghy Cruising programme last weekend I believe it’s time for me to go. The new incumbent won’t have the trauma of drafting the 2016 programme as that is already in hand. So let me thank all of those who have supported me in my three year tenure and offer any guidance required to the new incumbent.

The final Dinghy Cruise of the year…

This coming Saturday departing at 11:30 it’s the Langstone Sailing Club Cruise

Last week’s Round Hayling Cruise was a resounding success in perfect conditions, it would be great to increase the turnout for the final cruise. For those that haven’t been it’s a gentle three and a half miles up the harbour to partake of Langstone Sailing Club’s hospitality for an hour or so before returning to Tudor. I intend to give a very short brief for 11:00 and we depart at 11:30, as a club event it will be run under the auspices of the club’s “Adult Event Policy”.

We should arrive for about 12:30 and usually have lunch (don’t forget your sandwiches) on their very expansive decking. Their bar is also open (always an attraction) and if you intend to use it please take the side door noting that there a walkway to the right that stops us dripping on their carpet.

Just a final note, Langstone are having an RYA training day on our visit so please give all dinghies in the area a wide berth and don’t assume they will keep on a steady heading. It’s a great opportunity to see how one of our neighbouring clubs has achieved accreditation as an RYA training centre.

I look forward to seeing you all on the day.

Langstone SC Cruise, 15th August, 11:30

This weekend’s Langstone SC cruise is missing one patrol boat helm and 2 crew. If you can fill any of these positions, please volunteer directly on Dutyman or email me on JaniceBell.codd. The event will be cancelled unless we can fill at least one of these positions. We need all 3 positions filled for the event to be family friendly, as it is currently billed.
