HSSC RNSA WEDNESDAY SERIES RACE 2 RESULTS FROM RIC HANSLIP

Course:S tokes Bay East, South East Ryde Middle, Fairhall West, Stokes Bay East, Finish HSSC Summer Series – Race 2 Wind WSW 11-15 Kts, a perfect setting for Race 2 of the Summer Series. But first the drama. Tinker T had to work hard to extricate her keel from the sticky mud at low water in Dolphin Pool to be able to join the fleet on the start line at Gilkicker, and she can’t have been the only one to suffer.

Locks Race Day & Chris Wadham Trophy

This weekend there is the Interclub Race Day on the Saturday and the Chris Wadham Trophy race on the Sunday. The sailing instructions for both of these races are attached. If you are planning on taking part in the racing or are volunteering at the weekend then please do read the sailing instructions. Special attention should be made to the separate starts based on the RYA PY numbers. To help support this event and other sailing clubs in the harbour, we still need volunteers for patrol boats for both days.

Waiting for the Tide

I’m sure I’ve put this in before, but from a quick trawl through past Tidal Diamond’s I couldn’t spot it, so I’m classing that as a good enough reason to include it (again?). The RYA has a number of YouTube channels, but this one came up in a recent email that included a link to tips on downwind dinghy sailing. I thought I’d include a link to the channel so anyone interested can have a look through all the tips:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoJYMqSrby3WTfHOSpwoeug

Having looked at those tips there’s plenty going on this Bank Holiday weekend by the looks of the number of things I had to fit into the Diary Dates below!

As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address. No need to be feeling isolated and cut off from the world to do so, it is always nice to hear from members. Any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds would be most welcome.

Stay safe.

HSSSC RNSA Wednesday Series Race 1 Results from Ric Hanslip

Course. Stokes Bay East, Kemps Quay, Stokes Bay Central, Finish. A fantastic evening to start the series, shame however that it was a sailing race as there was no wind. Slipping out early to avoid the shiny new carrier HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH parking for the night, the fleet gathered at Gilkicker with great expectation.

Dinghy Sailing Event Updates

There are some dinghy events that have been added, and one that has been changed. Firstly, with the sailing club bar opening again, Friendly Friday events have been added to the calendar. The best way to find out if anyone is going out on the water dinghy sailing is through the dinghy WhatsApp group. To join the WhatsApp group drop an email with your phone number to dinghiesuk.

Secondly, the Locks combined race day and the Chris Wadham races are going ahead and I will circulate the relevant sailing details as soon as they are available. At the moment all I know for certain is that it will be down harbour racing using the sailing yacht Cruella as the committee boat. Finally Sunset race 2 has been moved to Friday 4th June so as not to clash with a cadet night. The start time for this race has not changed.

Kayak Activities 2021 – First event soon!

The kayak calendar for 2021 is now online. The first event is a Sunset Paddle on Friday 28th May. I hope that as many of you as possible can come along and enjoy a gentle (fingers crossed) paddle in the company of others. If all is well then we should be able to follow it up with a drink in the club bar.

Please sign up for these events via Webcollect.

https://webcollect.org.uk/tudorsc/category/open-events

I will set up a WhatsApp group, look out from an email from Webcollect with the details.

A few bits of local interest from the latest Solent Forum Montly News that may be of interest:

  • The Forum has begun collating information on all the excellent work on seagrass restoration that is happening around the Solent – see: Solent Forum – Solent Seagrass Restoration.
  • In further seagrass news, a total of 16,000 seagrass seed bags and 2,200 seedling bags are being planted by the Ocean Conservation Trust (OCT) as part of the LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES project being led by Natural England. The four-year project aims to plant a total of eight hectares of seagrass meadows – four hectares in Plymouth Sound and four hectares in the Solent Maritime Special Area of Conservation. See: https://oceanconservationtrust.org/englands-largest-seagrass-planting-programme-is-underway-in-plymouth-sound/.
  • You can watch a YouTube video that looks at the use of Advanced Mooring Systems as an alternative to traditional moorings. Experts in the field share more about the designs of these systems as well as their potential to limit the impact of recreational boating on seabed habitat. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmm2gTFuZ2E.
  • The Hants and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust have opened a new marine litter exhibition in the Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery. The exhibition, titled Spiny Seahorses and Ripping Yarns, is the result of a collaboration with local environmental artist, Trudi Lloyd Williams. See: https://www.hiwwt.org.uk/news/spiny-seahorses-and-ripping-yarns.
  • To celebrate World Oceans Day (8 June) the National Oceanography Centre is providing a free digital day of educational talks, hot-topic discussions and virtual tours, which will replace its usual on-site Open Day. Its team of speakers will share their latest science and technology with classrooms and homes across the world. See: https://noc-open-day-2021.vfairs.com/.

Hopefully that’s enough to keep everyone going until next week, although don’t let it stop you getting afloat when the weather is favourable! As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address if you feeling isolated and cut off from the world. It is always nice to hear from members, and any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds would be most welcome.

Stay safe.
