Hi all.
Rebel is repaired now and will be home tomorrow. Therefore the rowing schedule will commence as normal. I will be operating a rota for Saturday but not Sunday as this is launch day. Anyone who can help on Sunday morning, please let me know.
Due to peoples commitments, I have found it impossible to get the launch crews together for a row this week. If you are on one of the Gigs for the launch, can you please try to row this week sometime, and endeavour to make Saturday.
Jackie and Diana - can you ensure that you cox out of the harbour this week please.
I'm assuming that all competitive men are available for the racing on Sunday. If you're not please let me know asap.
Cheers,
Rebel will be dry enough for Chris Douglas to start the repair on Tuesday. We will then need to oil her on Thursday and Friday, and let her dry over the weekend. She will be ready to row from Monday the 27th.
As Chris will be busy painting Black Ven, I need a few volunteers to help oil Rebel on Thursday/Friday. Please could you mail me if you can help for a few hours on either day.
As Rebel will be back on the water the week before Black Vens launch, I would like to get the 2 crews who are rowing on launch day together for a couple of rows on evening next week. If you are one of the rowers, could you please let me know if there is an evening you can't make.
Cheers,
Thought you'd all like to know how we did at Weymouth Regatta on
Saturday!

Just to keep you up to date, Rebel is now in dry cover, and the repair should begin next week. It looks like we will not get her back on the water until the week leading up to the launch of Black Ven, bit I will keep you posted.
Don't forget oiling of Black Ven takes place tomorrow, everyone welcome to put on a coat; and at 8.30am on Saturday we are turning her, ready for painting. Please come and help if you can spare half an hour.
Cheers,
Unfortunately Rebel has developed a split in one of her planks and this needs to be repaired before she can be rowed again. This means finding somewhere under cover, getting her dry, filling the split, and finally giving her a few coats of oil. Therefore rowing is suspended until further notice.
Just a reminder that oiling of Black Ven takes place on Friday, so if you fancy putting a coat on, and being part of the boat, please go down. Tea and cake in abundance! On Saturday at 8.30am we will be turning Black Ven over ready for painting. This requires a bit of muscle so if you can spare half an hour please come and help.
Finally my sincere apologies for the suspension of the rowing schedule. This is the nature of wooden boats unfortunately, and Rebel has been used an awful lot since her launch last year.
Thank you all for your understanding.
Hi all. Sunday's rota attached.
Also 2 dates for anyone who wishes to help Gail:
Friday the 17th July: Oiling inside Black Ven. If you want to apply a coat, oiling will be happening all day, so go on down!
Saturday 18th July: Turning Black Ven over. We need hands to help turn the gig, ready for painting. If you can come down at 8.30am and help, that would be great.

Attached is the details for Weymouth regatta, this Saturday.

We will be picking Rebel up at 8.00am on Saturday morning, and will need one other car of rowers to follow us up and help at launch at Weymouth. If you can do this let me know.
Cheers,

Hi all.
Paul Dyer has done a fantastic job on repairing Rebel, and so the training schedule will be as normal this week, Men on Tuesday, Women on Wednesday.
Because we are competing at Weymouth this Saturday, club rowing will only be available on Sunday(12th) this weekend.
Cheers,
H.
Hi all.
Unfortunately two of the knees supporting thwart number four on Rebel broke today, and will have to be repaired. Paul Dyer is kindly undertaking the repair, but she will not be ready for tomorrows rowing. Hopefully she will be back on the water by Tuesday, but I'll keep you posted. Sorry to all who turned up today and were disappointed, but it's just one of those things.
Cheers,
H.
