Sailing Calendar
The dinghy sailing calendar for 2021 has now been published. The first dinghy race is planned to be held on Sunday 11th April with a start time of 11:30. The events marked T.B.C are events that we hope can go ahead but may not due to the current pandemic and having to share slipways for this sailing season. If you are planning to taking part in this or subsequent races during the season then you will need to sign up via Sailevent https://sailevent.net/enter/TUDOR. This is the same system that we used last year and, like last year, you need to register for every race series before the day of the race. If you need a refresher of how to register then please refer to the attached guide or failing that please feel free to email me.

Rowing News
Until two years ago he had never rowed a stroke, but now club member Kevin Watkins is currently in training for one of the most gruelling events in the worldwide sporting calendar.
A 3,000-mile plus odyssey starting in the Canary Islands and finishing (hopefully) in the Caribbean.
Kevin and co are fundraising for national charity Action Medical Research’s Born Too Soon campaign, which aims to highlight the impact premature birth has on babies and their families and to help fund research that can save lives.
Read more about the amazing adventure they’re planning here:

Waiting for the Tide
If you look below in the Diary Dates section you will notice some activity on the dinghy racing side of things, the full calendar is on the website, and it is mentioned above too… I won’t mention it here for fear of tempting fate though.
On the cruiser side of things I hope everybody is putting their plans together for the short-ish window between being able to get to the club and losing access to the slip. I’ve got my list of essential jobs down the bare minimum needed to get afloat – 1. slap a coat of anti-fouling on; 2. check mooring; 3. test engine; 4 splash (well, perhaps more thud… pause… lap, lap… off we go!).
Here’s looking forward to a sailing season.
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.
