The Tudor Challenge lives up to its Name
Last Saturday Tudor Sailing Club hosted its 3rd Tudor Challenge, with 27 boats from 16 clubs taking part.
With a Force 4 gusting Force 5 westerly, the conditions were borderline for running the full 10-mile course, and competitors found the return leg from the Bridge to Rod buoys very challenging as the wind over the tide caused very choppy conditions on the Hayling side of the harbour. Despite this, all boats completed the course with the Tudor crews finishing in 4 out of the top 5 places on handicap. For some crews, this was the 1st rowing race that they had competed in, which was demonstrated by the spread of times, with the fastest boat completing the course in 1hr 51 minutes 11 seconds, and the slowest boat completing the course in 4hr 42 minutes 12 seconds. Congratulations go to the winning crews, a full list of the results can be found on the event website https://tudorchallenge.com/past-results/
Off the water club, volunteers helped lay on a great event for competitors and spectators with nautical-themed entertainment provided by the Force 10 Shanty Band and the well-stocked bar and BBQ providing after-race refreshments, with Portsmouth Distillery also providing a Gin bar.
A big thank you to everyone involved in helping with the planning and organisation of this event which is going from strength to strength each year. The reputation of the Tudor Challenge is growing and the feedback from visiting clubs is that the Tudor Challenge is now becoming one of the premier events in the local rowing calendar.
Thanks Team Tudor!

Ebb & Flow
To quickly round off this weeks Tidal Diamond I will draw your attention to the attached poster (so it doesn’t get lost in all the other attachments!). On 31st August from 10am to 4pm Porstmouth Lifeboat Station have an Open Day. The station is on Ferry Road (past Southsea Marina, past ECA and there you are – for those that don’t know it by land). If you are on the Hayling side why not use the Hayling Ferry.
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.
