Hoist

Please be informed that the Hoist is now out of commission and has been split from the Tractor for maintenance. The estimate for the works will be 4-6 weeks but already we have found extra tasks so this will be revised once we know more.

The club road trailer is currently out of action due to a failed/split hub. We will purchase a new piece and fit when available. Will inform via Tidal Diamond once it is available again.

Deadline for the next issue of Ebb & Flow – Monday, 8 June 2015

Get into print!

Summers coming please tell me that it is lets hope that the air and water warms up for a great sailing season on, rather than in, the balmy waters of Langstone Harbour and the Solent and maybe further afield or should that be afloat or adrift? Anyway, enough of that, another edition of Ebb & Flow is coming over the horizon, or it will be once it has cast off with a full cargo of articles, news, events, and contributions from eager Tudor members. So, before you are spending all your spare time out on the briny why not write an article for the club newsletter?

We need your input to make the next Ebb and Flow interesting so please let us know all about your summer plans. 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 youve been cruising or racing, why not let us have some information on your tips and or trips, race training ideas, where youve been, what youve seen, what youve eaten when you got there (whether France or Hayling Island). 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 its not that difficult. Its a bit like sailing in fact once youve pushed off, youll soon by underway!

If you have an idea, please get in touch. Send your contributions to ebbnflow
