LOCATION

Tudor Sailing Club is located at the north west corner of Langstone Harbour near the head of Broom Channel which gives access to the harbour entrance and thence Spithead and the Solent.

By road the club is approximately half a mile south of the M27/A27 and approached by the A2030 (Eastern Road into Portsmouth), from which the clubhouse is sign posted at the first traffic light controlled junction. Sign post indicates Kendalls Wharf, Outdoor Centre and Tudor SC.

AIMS

The Tudor Sailing Club was founded in 1949 with the object of providing amenities for club members and their boats, to encourage the arts of sailing and seamanship, to promote marine and social events for members and friends.

CHARACTER

Tudor Sailing Club has always been essentially a 'self help' club with members contributing their individual skills and labour to developing the clubs facilities, in order to minimise the cost of our leisure interest.

ADMINISTRATION

Management of the club is vested in an Executive Committee, which oversees policy and financial matters. Delegated responsibilities rest with Sailing, Bosuns, Maintenance and Social Committees. Communication includes Ebb & Flow, our quarterly newsletter.

FACILITIES

The present purpose built Tudor Clubhouse was first occupied in 1990 having been fitted out from a bare shell by the membership.

The building enjoys views of the environmentally important Langstone Harbour and is well equipped with changing rooms, showers, bar, galley and workshop with car parking adjacent to the clubhouse.

MOORINGS AND COMPOUND

Tudor Sailing Club hold a license to manage an area between the Eastern Road Bridge and Kendalls Quay, which currently accommodates 100 moorings.

These are drying moorings and are best suited to shoal draft craft with either twin or lifting keels.

Boats with a moored length of up to 10 metres can be accommodated, dependent on an available mooring. Power driven planing hulls and multihulls are unacceptable.

The compound accommodates tenders to boats on club moorings and sailing dinghies. The latter must hold a Portsmouth Yardstick number and be less than 16' 6" length overall. Again multihulls are not accepted.

Launching access to the low water mark is provided by a slipway enabling dinghies to get afloat at all tidal states although it should be noted that cruisers on moorings will dry out for considerable periods, dependent upon tidal and wind variations.
