Friday Race Cancelled – 4 July

Winds of top Force 5 gusting 6 on the wall Forecast suggests increase rather than dropping during the evening, and so race is cancelled as considered unsuitable for smaller boats and short-handed crews. Look forward to seeing you all next week - Ian Bowker

RNSA (P) Late Summer Series – Race 5

With Kurketrekker out of the water addressing a rudder bearing problem it once again defaulted to Tinker T to take on SOOD duties. For a while with a 9 knot SE wind at Gililkicker but decreasing by the minute it looked like flat calm was the likely outcome for the race period. However with ten minutes left to decide the course the SE died and was replaced by a SSW breeze in at a solid 8 knots.

High Hopes representing RNSA Portland finishes the Round-the-Island!

Light winds see less than half the entrants complete the course. This year’s race was held in high pressure weather which saw participants topping up on suncream, swimming off boats during the race and retiring in droves with the wind dying in the early afternoon. As always in these conditions the race was tactically challenging, and required a high level of concentration from all the crew over a longer than usual day.

Tidal Diamond 399 – Dinghy Cruise, Bart’s Bash, Cruiser Racing, Summer Ball

Tidal Diamond No. 399

Calling all dinghy sailors with an interest in Day Cruising!
AROUND HAYLING CRUISE Sunday 6th July

On Sunday 6th July, Tudor SC will undertake a highlight of the club’s sailing calendar – the circumnavigation of Hayling Island. In response to Phil Bryant’s plea and my wish to enjoy this excellent event yet again, I have volunteered to act as cruise ‘marshall’ on this occasion.

If you have made this trip before, then you don’t need any further explanation about the excellent sailing, camaraderie and general uplifting of spirits that this cruise can provide. If you have not – then there is really only one way to find out! And .. if you would like to take part but would rather not do so ‘single handed’ – please turn up anyway as we should have a number of two-handers in the fleet who can accommodate an extra crew!
(Thinking about it – this is a particularly good opportunity for the club’s many Wayfarer sailors to wash the dust off their boats. It would be rather good to show HISC that TSC has a strong Wayfarer section when we pull up in their back yard for lunch!) Please note that we will be accompanied by the club RIB – so any ‘luggage’, lunch boxes, barbecues etc. can be stowed aboard. (A sort of on-the-water sherpa service for TSC members.)

We are scheduled to be on the water at 10.00 following a briefing at 9.45.

Sewage Outfall Marker Missing

Please be aware that the port hand marker on the old sewage outfall just outside the harbour entrance is currently missing. Please take care to give plenty of clearance to the outfall.

Photos are attached showing what the end of the outfall is like at present and the Harbourmaster has informed me that Southern Water will be attending soon to establish a temporary marker.
