Splash and sparkle Photo: onEdition

IT was all splash and sparkle at the 2011 London International Boat Show when the new indoor activity pool showed off its attractions for the leisure marine industry’s annual extravaganza.

Following a spectacular watersports display, model, sportswoman and one-time Celebrity Come Dancing contestant Jodie Kidd added a touch of special glamour as she cut the ribbon to fire off an explosion of Roman candles to declare the Tullett

Prebon show officially open.

Early show visitors were treated to a dazzling sequence of stunts by a team of watersports stars combining kayaking, wakeboarding and stand-up paddleboarding.

The 70 by 24 metre Watersports Action Pool is the show’s new centrepiece throughout the ten day event, mixing live demos with have-ago sessions for visitors.

With other welcome improvements, the new pool created the atmosphere the boat show at ExCel had been

waiting for.

Jodie, who has family connections in Cowes confessed to being a bit of an adrenaline junkie.

“I’m a Cowes Week special and I also enjoyed sailing an Extreme 40 with Ellen MacArthur,” she said.

“I’ve grown up with a passion for sport and the outdoors; sailing is a fantastic combination of the two.

There is so much to see and do at the show this year and I encourage everyone to make the journey to ExCeL over the coming ten days.”

To open the show in chilly, wet London, Jodie broke a holiday in Argentina where she prowls the country’s rivers and lakes in her RIB. Extra showbiz glamour was provided on opening day by X Factor star Rebecca Ferguson who helped launch the new Sunseeker Predator 115 and Manhattan 73 super yachts.

The new boats were displayed on the marina for visitors to explore.

A time to dream . . .

LIKE a fresh coat of varnish, a shiny new engine or a fresh suit of sails, a bit of a make-over can provide almost as much fun and excitement as a new vessel.

A new look has the added advantage of being a lot less expensive. New is also a bit of a risk against the familiarity and comfort of an old friend.

The London Boat Show has been around a long time even in its relatively new surroundings of ExCel in London’s docklands. Noone can really argue that the 2011 version of the show has not tried to keep up with the times, put on a fresh face and cater for an everchanging market.

Thank goodness that there are at least some positive murmurs to lift the veil of doom.

A new report, the YachtWorld Market Index, suggests that while many sectors have fallen foul of the recession, the UK boating industry has emerged relatively unscathed.

This is primarily due to the fact that boaters are unlikely to forfeit their passion, even in times of economic uncertainty. Three cheers for those

who put boating before all else!

Second hand prices are apparently holding up with buyers opting for quality used boats rather than higher value new craft, which can depreciate rapidly.

Prudence is clearly the watchword for boating folk. That is why preowned boats have their own marina at ExCel for the first time.

The British Marine Federation also says the UK leisure marine industry has remained resilient.

The total revenue of the UK leisure, superyacht and small commercial marine industry during 2009/10 was £2.963 billion, a 6.2 per cent reduction on the previous year. But according to the BMF that is encouraging.

The figures are similar to 2006/07 numbers while other industries have suffered double digit drops in production and output and the strength of the leisure and marine industry compares favourably with the state of the national economy as a whole.

The BMF quotes case studies of Princess Yachts that announced increased turnover of £213.8 million

safety, hull design, digital telemetry and data acquisition.

The boat will make its debut in SuperStock National Championships in the UK, USA and Norway in 2011 The new 28-foot mono-hull boat can run two alternative horsepower options, allowing teams to move up in class by simply changing the engine. The lower horsepower class will race at speeds of around 60mph and the larger class at around 75mph.

P1 SUPERSTOCK, the fastestgrowing marine motorsport series, has had its rules accepted at international level having successfully proven them in the UK and Ireland during the 2010 season.

The SuperStock championship rules were developed by Powerboat P1 Management and presented by the Royal Yachting Association at the Union International Motonautique General Assembly in Malta.

The race series will launch on two continents in 2011, with a further six countries scheduled to come on board for the 2012 season.

Powerboat P1 Management has also announced the launch of a new race boat that is set to revolutionise the sport.

The new P1-28SS boat has been in development for the past eight months and features the latest technology in

Silky ‘Smooth’ Sail Handling with Smooth Sail 20 High performance, sail, track and fittings lubricant for yachts, dinghies and racing sail craft Do you experience the frustration of tedious sail handling due to sails sticking, puckering or seizing in their tracks? Do stiff and seizing blocks, travellers, cars and other marine fittings aggravate your boats sailing performance?

If so Smooth Sail could be just what’s needed.

Smooth Sail is an advanced sail, track and marine fittings lubricator for yachts, dinghies and general racing sailboats. It can be applied liberally around the boat and direct to sails without leaving stains and greasy residues.

Smooth Sail is non flammable, solvent free and environmentally friendly.

Making waves at the show

NEWS IN BRIEF Long range rescue A FIFTY foot yacht and its crew of two were rescued from the midAtlantic in a five-day operation coordinated more than 1,000 miles away by Falmouth Coastguard. The German yacht Sparrow was dismasted and holed 400 miles west of Cape Verde after a collision with a fishing boat.

Sailors win support SOUTHPORT Sailing Foundation has created a team of sailors who have been awarded one year grants by the foundation to develop their sailing. The six - man sailing team of Rachel Bryer, Jennifer French, JeanPaul Creignou, Farrah Hall, Kyle Larsen and Sarah Lihan is called The Clever Pig Sailing Team and will be supported until November.

be brought inside the event – also provided an eye-catching showpiece.

The 104-foot long 42-feet high boat was lifted from the Royal Victoria Dock to the dry marina inside the show. Weighing 100 tonnes it is also the heaviest boat to be lifted into the show. It is one of 1,000 boats on display.

The show brings many of the world’s sailing stars together to appear in the Knowledge Box where experts including Olympic sailor Mark Covell and Around the World Racer Mike Golding share their knowledge.

Among them are champion wakeboarder Matt Crowhurst and stand-up paddle board champion John Hibbard and three-times Olympic Gold medallist Ben Ainslie.

More than a dozen boats make their global debut and 23 make their UK debut at the show. Many marine companies launch new products, accessories and services, including clothing, chandlery, electronics and engines. There are also opportunities to discover your local sailing club, enrol on a course or book a holiday.

coming from the British Marine Federation and other surveys, Sealine announced eight new models and 50 new engineers and other staff.

The first day of the show saw the announcement of new Marine Industry Awards.

They have been set up to recognise and reward excellence in the British marine industry, spanning sport, design, apparel, technical equipment, manufacture, broking and leisure.

Sir Robin Knox Johnson, who will chair the judging panel for the awards that are supported by the BMF, said: “The marine industry in the UK is not only a crucial part of the nation’s economy, it is vibrant, exciting and in many cases world-beating and now we have a chance to celebrate the sector’s hard work formally.”

Entries will open on 1 February and the inaugural awards event will take place in 2012.

Shortlisted nominations will automatically earn a ‘Kitemark of Excellence’.

The show runs until 16 January. www.marineindustryawards.co.uk www.londonboatshow.com

PLANS for an Ilfracombe-Swansea ferry link – on the drawing board for the past five years – could be further delayed as financial backing is found. Severn Link chairman Chris Marrow says they need to replace the two vessels they were hoping to use but it is now unlikely the project will be launched before 2012.

New rules on tax

RULES covering VAT on sailaway boats will change from January 2012. Sailaway boats are classified either as ‘delivered to the buyer or their authorised skipper within the EC’ or ‘exported under its own power to a destination outside the VAT territory of the EC.’ HM Revenue and Customs has announced that VAT registered businesses will no longer be able to ‘zero rate’ the supply of a sailaway boat to a UK resident who intends to keep it outside the EC. Businesses can continue to zero rate the supply of a boat to a UK resident provided they either undertake to export the boat themselves or make all the arrangements for the export.

Historic year for Pompey

Arctic adventures IT was announced at the London Boat Show that David Mans, a 28-year-old Army Officer from Hampshire, had beaten competition from hundreds of international entrants to be chosen the final crew member to join adventurer Jock Wishart’s Old Pulteney Row to the North Pole row to the North Pole in July/August.

PORTSMOUTH’S naval legacy will be highlighted in 2011 with the celebration to mark the 150th anniversay of the first iron-hulled ship – HMS Warrior 1860.

Launched at Blackwall, London on 29 December 1860 and HMS Warrior was first commissioned on 1 August 1861.

The historic dates will be commemorated throughout the year with a number of themed events and celebrations.

HMS Warrior represents a key moment in the evolution of warship design, between Nelson’s Victory of 1759, and Dreadnought (1906).

She was the first ship to combine an iron hull, steam propulsion and armour plating and was the largest and most powerful warship in the world.

In August 1979, Warrior was rescued from serving as an Oil Fuel

Top spot for Nick HISTORIAN Nick Hewitt has been appointed head of attractions and collections

by Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust.

He was previously historian, research and information officer at the Imperial War Museum and is a trustee of the Portsmouth Royal Dockyard Historical Trust.

Sailings increased COMMUTERS got an extra crossing from Ryde on the Isle of Wight to Southsea from 4 January. Hovertravel increased the service with an extra 8.30am crossing due to popular demand. Morning services leave Ryde at 0615, 0645, 0715, 0730, 0745, 0800, 0815 0830 and 0845 from Monday to Friday.

Restored to her former glory she returned to her home port of Portsmouth in June 1987, where she remains afloat as a permanent attraction at the dockyard which attracts almost 500,000 visitors each year.

In addition, Warrior provides a superb Victorian maritime setting for private and corporate entertainment and is a popular wedding venue.

This year also marks the 100th year since a significant Naval Museum was established in the dockyard and ten years of the family interactive Action Stations.

In Boathouse Number 6, Action Stations brings the modern Royal Navy directly to visitors with a mix of physical challenges, simulators and technological experiments.

A NON-native predator, Dikerogammarus villosus, also known as ‘Killer Shrimp’ has appeared in multiple locations around the country.

It is thought to have spread from the PontoCaspian Region of Eastern Europe. It was first spotted in Grafham water last September and has since been seen in Cardiff Bay and Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir in Port Talbot.

It is a particularly aggressive predator but harmless to humans. Send sightings to: alert_nonnative@ceh.ac.uk.

Dry-docking will cost £80,000 to £100,000.

Without this she cannot continue to sail and would be at risk of being scrapped.

The ship is operated entirely by unpaid volunteers. Unlike historic buildings, the UK’s heritage ships are not eligible for grant-aid towards sustainability and running costs.

Lifeboats, camera, action THE professionalism and commitment of the RNLI’s volunteer crews and supporters were captured by the winner of the charity’s Photographer of the Year competition, announced at the London Boat Show.

Malcolm MacDonald, assistant tractor driver at Ramsey lifeboat station on the Isle of Man, won first prize for his picture of the station’s Mersey class lifeboat ready to launch on the boathouse slipway.

Malcolm said: ‘The lifeboat, Ann and James Richie, was being kept on the slip while the boathouse was being painted and it looked so good.

“The boat is nearly 20 years old and still looks new, which is a testament to how well the crew look after and respect the boat and I wanted to show this in the photo. Even after a late night shout, there’s never any shortage of volunteers to wash and polish the boat.

Malcolm, who has only been taking pictures for about 18 months added: “‘I had to go out at 1am to take the picture because the street lights were too bright, but it was worth it – the reflections on the hull were great.

“The camera I used was given to me by a very good friend who sadly died.

I used to go with him when he took pictures around the island and he left his camera to me with instructions

to “do something with it” and so winning this competition is especially poignant for me.’

Professional photographer and former RNLI volunteer crew member, Rick Tomlinson, who presented the prize for the winning photograph to Malcolm, said: “Malcolm’s photo is a nice abstract, and quite different from what we would normally expect of an RNLI shot. It uses a good technique and it’s unsurprising that it has been chosen as the overall winner.’

Eleanor Driscoll, RNLI Film and

Image Manager and head judge of the competition said: “The standard was very high this year, but Malcolm’s picture stood out as an iconic and unusual shot of a lifeboat that’s ready to launch” The competition aims to find pictures that reflect the lifesaving work of the RNLI. Volunteers and crew send in pictures to compete in four categories; rescues, people, fleet and landscapes. The overall winner is picked from the winners of each category.

THE RNLI aleady has a busy year plotted for 2011 even before it carries out its vital emergency voluntary rescue work.

At the London Boat Show visitors can discover more about the RNLI’s lifesaving work and become a virtual crew member – and get a picture to prove it – using green screen technology.

There is the chance to see an inshore lifeboat up close as well as free sea safety advice and examine a lifejacket inside and out.

January 28 is SOS Day, the RNLI’s biggest national day of fundraising.

People all round the country are encouraged to join in and raise funds

for the charity. Everyone from school children to celebrities gets involved to raise much needed cash.

One of the SOS events involves over 170 scuba diving Santas!

The new boathouse at The Lizard is due to be completed in autumn 2011.

The RNLI will be the lead charity in the Bath Half Marathon in March And as a reminder that the charity can operate on land as well as sea the RNLI Flood Rescue Team will take part in Exercise Watermark, the country’s largest national multiagency emergency flood training exercise, from 4–11 March.

RNLI lifeboat station at Burnham

is fundraising for a new floating boathouse for the new Atlantic 85 lifeboat, which is due to be placed on station in the spring. Their latest Boating on a Budget’ project is to rebuild an International Cadet Dinghy to raffle at the RYA Volvo Dinghy show in March.

The appeal has passed £100,000 with a target of £130,000.

There will be an RNLI lifeguard demonstration at the inaugural Liverpool Boat Show between 29 April and 8 May. There will be RNLI HQ open days in Poole, on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 July.

‘FAMOUS traveller requires three crew. Must be OAP. Serious adventurers only’ – read the advert by Anthony Smith, who, at the age of 84, is planning to cross the Atlantic on a raft made of waterpipes.

No stranger to adventure, Anthony is reportedly sick of the public perception of a ‘pensioner’ and is now striving to put the young people in their place.

His craft, named the ‘An-tiki’, undoubtedly after the famous craft, the Kon-Tiki that crossed the Pacific, is currently being assembled in the Canaries, where the team have been since November.

Having taken more than five years in preparation the team are working to the old adage that ‘any fool can be uncomfortable’ and doing everything to ensure that their crossing is as comfortable and risk free as possible.

They could be at sea for more than 70 days and so 120 rolls of toilet paper, 2,000 tea bags, and 100 tins of soup will be on board.

But their biggest wish for Christmas was

to raise more than £50,000 for WaterAid to provide clean drinking water and sanitation for communities in some of the worlds’ poorest countries.

Anthony said: “There have certainly been times when we doubted whether it would happen, but thanks to the hard work of the team, An-Tiki will be setting sail for the Bahamas in just a few weeks. “We’re really looking forward to the voyage and all of the new experiences it will bring and I’m particularly excited about seeing some of the wildlife out at sea.”

The project has been self-funded so far, and the team is looking for sponsors interested in becoming part of this unique adventure. www.an-tiki.com www.justgiving.com/antiki www.firstgiving.com/antiki

A free RIB taxi service will operate to Poole Quay 200 yards away.

The development represents the first million

in a £25 million project set to revolutionise the port.

John Binder, of Poole Quay Boat Haven, who leads the project, said: “This was born out of an idea to create new facilities in time for the 2012 Games but even without that event demand for good quality berths in Poole is high.

“We hope the Port of Poole Marina will attract sailors from all over the world, bringing a big boost to our local economy.”

Jellyfish invasion New look on-line WEST Country coastal waters could see record numbers of jellyfish in the summer according to Plymouth University experts. They say jellyfish are on the increase because of the growing acidity of the areas’s seawater caused by increased carbon-dioxide.

THE Cowes Port Handbook and the official Cowes website will feature all businesses in Cowes and East Cowes to ensure it is comprehensive. The all-new official cowes.co.uk website was set to launch on 4th January and the Handbook and Directory will be delivered on 31 March.

Changes for Scotland’s biggest regatta

Fleet of Velux 5 reduced to four

NEWS IN BRIEF Boating stays afloat BOAT values have not been affected by the recession according to a new report, the YachtWorld Market Index. The report, which analyses trends in the boating industry, also claims the boating industry – worth £3.16 billion a year in the UK – has emerged from recession relatively unscathed because boaters, are very unlikely to forfeit their passion, even in times of economic uncertainty.

Canadian Derek Hatfield gets underway, onboard his yacht Activhouse, for the second leg of the VELUX 5 OCEANS

AFTER days of bad weather delayed the start, the second leg of the Velux 5 Oceans race got underway just before Christmas.

But it was not smooth sailing.

Savage seas tore the fleet apart after departure from Cape Town in the gruelling 7,000 nautical miles leg to Wellington, New Zealand.

The onslaught resulted in the retirement of one of the five racers, Belgium skipper, Christophe Bullens.

David Adams, Velux 5 Oceans race director, said: “Christophe

has shown an amazing amount of tenacity chasing his dream to compete in the Velux 5 Oceans. He is a fantastic role model for the sport and embodies everything the race stands for.”

The only British Skipper to be taking part, Chris Stanmore-Major, was the last across the line aboard ‘Spartan’ after struggling to get his main sail up and losing valuable momentum, on his way to the line. Chris was doing well against the elements but more than 1,000 nautical miles behind race leader,

Brad Van Liew.

Chris said: “The Southern Ocean is mountainous and we’re going to get the best it has got to give. I face it with some trepidation but I have a lot of confidence in my boat. If I can keep my errors down and my boat in one piece then there’s a chance I can get to the front.”

The ocean skippers are due to start the third leg on 6 February, from Wellington in New Zealand, and expected to finish the 5,800 mile leg in early March. www.velux5oceans.com

CLYDE Cruising Club, organisers of the Brewin Dolphin Scottish Series announced developments for the 2011 event which expect to attract more than 200 entries and more than 1,200 sailors.

Fresh challenges for competitors include new courses, the introduction of an inshore Coastal daytime race for IRC classes, limitations to crew numbers, and a ‘Laird of the Loch’ event between 2010 class winners.

Competitors from across the UK are being encouraged to sign up early for the event which will take place over the bank holiday weekend from Friday 27 to Monday 30 May in Tarbert, Loch Fyne in the Clyde Estuary. www.brewindolphinscottishseries.com

A NEW organisation, called GMI (Global Marina Industries), has been formed by the British Marine Federation and Marina Industries Association of Australia to provide education, training and certification for marinas and marina staff in Europe, Australia, Asia and the rest of the world excluding the United States. It will be chaired

by Mick Bettesworth, Chief Commercial Officer of MDL Marinas Group.

NEWS IN BRIEF Diving from home A CORNISH diving expert has invented an interactive 3D mapping technique which allows divers to survey shipwrecks from their home computers.

Mike Postons’s software allows divers to familiarise themselves with a wreck by using videos and photographs before they dive. It has been used already on the 80-year-old steamer SS James Eagan Layne, lying off Whitesand Bay near Plymouth.

Top of the pile RS SAILING has won Sailing World’s 25th annual Boat of the Year award in the USA with the RS100 named the overall winner.

Other category winners include the Beneteau First 30 (Best crossover), J/111 (Best Onedesign keelboat) and Gunboat 66 (Best grand prix).

Cats get even CATAMARAN owners pay the same for annual berthing as monohulls at Sant Carles Marina in Spain. The new deal, which removes the surcharge normally faced by catamarans, came into effect last month and will be guaranteed for three years. Sant Carles Marina in Catalonia, is MDL’s first Spanish location. www.santcarlesmarina.com

Around the Island 80 times THE 80th Anniversary of the Round the Island Race will be a trip down memory lane as well as a special celebration of one of the world greatest sailing events.

The Island Sailing Club is calling on previous winners and past competitors in the race that is now sponsored by J.P. Morgan Asset Management to provide anecdotes and images from each of the past eight decades.

They could be a particularly amusing or nail biting moment, a beautiful photograph, video footage or the tale of a personal triumph.

The club is offering one free entry into the 2011 race for a favourite image, while a bottle of Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch whisky is on offer to the entrant with the best race anecdote.

The winners will be selected by a panel including the Club’s Admiral, Robin Aisher, himself a Gold Roman Bowl winner in 1985 aboard Yeoman XXV. The chosen image will be used

in part of the 80th year celebrations Online entries for the race will open on Friday 21 January when the Notice of Race will also be published online. The race is also now on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ roundtheisland In addition to J.P.Morgan Asset Management, some of the best-known brands in their individual markets have already signed up as race partners for the 80th Anniversary year and each has committed its support through to the 2012 Race.

They are: Britannia Corporate Events, Haven Knox-Johnston, Nautica Watches, Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Raymarine, Red Funnel and Volvo Cars UK The 2010’ race had 1,754 entries and 1,607 finished the Race. This was the highest recorded number of finishers in the history of the race. There were 47 retirements and 16 disqualifications/ OCS (On the Course Side of the starting line). £100,000 was raised for charities in 2010.

WHAT is thought to be the world’s oldest canoe has been discovered after spending more than 200 years rotting in a Cornish barn.

Staff at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth are restoring the 20-foot birch-bark canoe,

which has been stored on an estate in Penryn since 1776 after being brought to the UK from Canada by a soldier who fought in the US War of Independence. The canoe, which belongs to the Enys family of Penryn, will not be completely

Closures and job losses for coastguards THE Government and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency have published controversial proposals that they say will bring the Coastguard into the 21st Century.

The plans, which are open to consultation until March, involve ‘modernising’ the service and linking all the surviving MRCCs – Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres – in a national network.

But it also means that of the 18 MRCCs, which each currently operate a 24 hour service, ten will be closed, with significant job losses.

Mike Penning, Parliamentary UnderSecretary of State for Transport said: “There is huge potential to improve the service and make it more efficient.”

But opponents have already suggested the plans could put lives at risk.

Currently, there 18 centres around the country. Although each of is ‘paired’ to help them deal with significant events or a high volume of calls, there is currently no network existing between all the stations. This means that if a pair of stations becomes overloaded they are not able to farm out any of the work to other MRCCs. The core of the proposed new system takes the form of two ‘Maritime Operation Centres’ –

MOCs - one in the North and one in the South.

The centre in the north would be set up in Aberdeen and there is the possibility of the south’s MOC being built on land already owned by the Coastguard Agency’s at Lee-on-Solent, but other government buildings in the area are being considered.

The coastguard station in Dover will also continue to maintain a 24 hour service due to its ‘unique functioning in operating the Channel Navigation Information Services’.

The proposed changes mean that of the 491 staff currently working in stations across the UK, only 248 would remain.

The Government and Coastguard say the changes are being made in response to a rising number of reported incidents, seas becoming more congested, the coastline becoming busier, ships getting larger and less manoeuvrable, and weather conditions becoming more extreme.

In 2005 there 16,516 reported incidents which rose to 18,614 in 2007 and more than 20,500 in 2010.

There has been widespread criticism from around the country particularly from those areas with stations closing or being reduced from 24-hour services to daytime only. www.mcga.gov.uk

SUNSAIL has launched the latest addition to its fleet, the revolutionary Sunsail 444.

With her deep narrow groove hulls and shallow draft she is reported to be able to sail as close to the wind as many a monohull.

The most noticeable feature of the tenberth boat is the forward cockpit. The boat comes with air-conditioning, on-board generator, electric windlass and the latest navigation technology from Raymarine but environmental considerations were also central to the design, with solar panels to charge the batteries.

The boats will initially be introduced in Croatia, Greece and Turkey, with more to arrive in the Caribbean for the 2011/12 winter season.

Plan for that first crossing

NEWS IN BRIEF Caribbean battle TWO of the world’s most impressive Maxi racing yachts will slug it out at the RORC Caribbean 600 starting in Antigua on 21 February. The battleground will be the wild surf and trade winds of the Caribbean when Mike Slade’s Farr 100, ICAP Leopard, takes on George David’s Juan-K designed, Rambler 100. It will be the first time they have raced each other. More information at www.rorc.org

Bareboat luxury MOORINGS, the bareboat yacht charter company, has selected Raymarine equipment for 25 new Bénéteau Oceanis 50.5 yachts. The boats will be based in the Caribbean including the British Virgin Islands, St Lucia and Grenada. The new Oceanis 50.5s will be among the best – equipped and luxurious yachts in the Moorings fleet with Raymarine electronics, air conditioning and electric winches.”

SETTING off on that first big journey across the English Channel can certainly be an exciting, if slightly nerve wracking, experience. But with the right preparation it should be a journey to look forward to.

Every summer the RYA holds its Sail Cruise, an event that provides both first-timers and regulars with guidance, preparation and support for making the journey over to France.

The RYA and event sponsors, Hamble School of Yachting, certainly know a thing or two about the crossing and have kindly put together some advice.

Your first crossing will be an exciting experience, but one that you will feel proud to have completed, so look forward to it.

Free software A FREE software update is available for users of Garmin’s GPSMAP® 700 series. www.garmin.com/uk/products/ marine-products/

Rob Gaffney, Principle of the Hamble School of Yachting, has seen many first-timers grow in confidence after making their crossing as part of the Sail Cruise event and recognises the importance of good preparation: “A lot of people who already own boats are nervous about their first channel crossing, but by helping them plan their journey before and by supporting them during their crossing they really enjoy it and look forward to doing it alone.”

The 2011 RYA Sail Cruise will, take place from 12 - 18 June.

To find out more about the cruise or to book your place visit www.rya.org.uk and click on events or call the cruising team on 023 8060 4233.

Before you set-off ■ We all know how quickly the weather can turn, so it’s important to make sure that everyone on board has packed the right gear in preparation. Essentials include a change of clothes, wet weather gear, plenty of warm layers, a strong factor sun cream and a hat.

■ Getting together with the rest of your crew in advance will make your crossing easier. You should all agree on your passage plan beforehand and be clear on the latest tide, wind and weather updates. It’s also important to discuss previous sailing experience, which will be helpful once out on the water.

■ We all know that accidents can happen, but don’t let it put you off.

A key part of the planning process is preparing for every possible

situation. Make sure your crew know about safety rules before you leave and come up with a plan to delegate duties in the event of an accident.

Key duties include preparing the life raft and sending a MAYDAY signal.

While it’s unlikely to happen, this will ensure that you don’t waste crucial time.

■ RYA training centres offer RYA Sea Survival courses and radio courses that are ideal for anyone unfamiliar with liferafts, survival techniques, radios or if you want to brush up your knowledge.

■ You can put all of these things into practice by having a trial sail beforehand in sheltered waters. This is a great way of getting to know each other if you’ve never sailed together before.

On the water ■ Get everyone involved! Your crew are bound to have varying levels of sailing experience, but keeping everyone active will ensure that it’s an enjoyable experience for all involved.

■ A watch keeping system is recommended while out on the water, as it will ensure everyone on board is fully awake and alert.

Everyone on board, including the skipper, should get some rest throughout the day.

Why a name does matter The former professional yachtsman who was paralysed in a swimming accident and inspired sailors when he became the first quadriplegic to sail the Atlantic.

WHAT do you think of when you hear the word Sailability?

A charity? The RYA? Disabled sailors on your local lake? Or maybe some well-intentioned, nebulous concept that brings disabled people and boats together? Does it actually matter?

I think it does and here’s why: The word Sailability means all of the above, but all are quite different entities and if you are to support any with your time or money, then you should make it your business to differentiate between them. ● Sailability: The concept.

Sailability is the bringing together of disabled people and boats. The word is used in dozens of countries around the world to describe their national disabled sailing programmes.

When the question arose is 1995 as to whether the RYA should Trademark the word “Sailability”, it was agreed not to in order to spread the concept far and wide.

● Sailability: The local disabled sailing club.

There are approximately 150 Sailability clubs and groups around the UK. Most are autonomous groups with their own charitable constitutions and they often piggyback an existing sailing club’s facilities.

All of these Sailability groups have been assessed and accredited by the RYA. Sailability clubs are run by volunteers and they raise their own funding locally. ● RYA Sailability: The National Charity.

Founded in 1995 with HRH Princess Royal as patron and bearing the RYA’s prefix, the charity is regarded as the “RYA’s charity”.

In its early years, the charity raised most of the seed-core funding required to establish the 150 Sailability sites mentioned above.

Substantial grants were given to help groups acquire boats and make material improvements to sailing clubs.

Participation has risen from less than 1,000 disabled sailing sessions a year in the mid 1990’s to nearly 25,000 sessions provided in 2010 across the 150 sites.

With the vast majority of the charity’s development grants awarded

foundation grants that flow into the RYA are given on the basis of equal provision.

and completed between 1995 and 2008, the charity now has no direct sport development role and confines its activities to making a number of modest grants to clubs and groups for small equipment items.

It also makes a more substantial grant each year to the RYA itself with money going towards the RYA’s disabled sailing development programme. ● RYA Sailability: The RYA’s disabled sailing division.

Just as there are RYA divisions for racing, cruising, power-boating etc.,

it formed its own disabled sailing division, RYA Sailability. Sailing for people with disabilities is now all but integrated within the RYA’s core activities for which they should be congratulated.

It is my hope that the RYA, as the National Governing Body for our sport in the UK, will not need “charity” to help offset the cost of running any of its divisions.

Only then will disabled sailors feel valued by the RYA as equally as our able-bodied counterparts. After all, the governmental, lottery and sport

Now that disability has been almost completely integrated into the RYA’s mainstream sailing programmes, the charity’s development role has ceased to exist. It continues to play a useful role in raising funds, but with grants to clubs and groups totalling less than £40,000 last year, the charity’s role in the future is open to debate.

So next time you hear someone mention Sailability, ask them to clarify exactly which Sailability they are talking about, because it does matter.

Diary date RYA Sailability (the RYA’s disabled sailing division), hold its Annual Conference on Saturday 12 February at Wyboston Lakes, Bedfordshire.

What’s it all about?

ALL AT SEA | JANUARY 2011 | news@allatsea.co.uk

The Honda RYA Youth RIB Championship is about kids making powerboats go as fast as they can. Right?

Photos: RYA

NOT true says Andrew Norton, RYA Motor Cruising Projects Manager, who is leading a renewed campaign to get even more sailing clubs involved in this nationwide scheme promoting safe boat handling for youngsters.

The championship, sponsored by Honda and Ribcraft, is an annual series of local heats and regional finals, culminating in the national final at the Southampton Boat Show every September.

With the emphasis on swift, efficient and safe manoeuvring kids in two age-groups – eight to 12 and 13 to 16 – compete in time trials around sets of marks with the driver with the fastest time in each agegroup winning the event.

Around 5,000 youngsters across Britain took part in local, regional or national events last year with the national champion in each age-group winning a new RIB for their club.

Some regions have embraced the championship more than others as some clubs continue to view it simply as a powerboat racing event.

Andrew insists that view must change in 2011.

He said: “Most importantly

the Honda Youth RIB is a fun championship that kids really enjoy taking part in. But the value it brings in terms of introducing kids to powerboats, training them to be safe, proficient drivers and excellent boat handlers, and providing clubs with a stream of highly-skilled safety boat drivers and support crews is still overlooked in some areas.

As part of this drive to get more clubs involved in 2011, Blithfield SC commodore Andy Felthouse has been appointed Honda RYA Youth RIB National Event Manager.

He will attend all regional finals with the championship boats, and the equipment to run the event, and advise on the best ways to run heats and training.

RYA Regional Development Officers will also work with their clubs to highlight the long-term value of getting young sailors involved in

the Championship.

To obtain a Powerboat Level 2 qualification, youngsters must be 16 while they can pilot a safety boat at 18. However, many clubs don’t realise 12-year-olds can obtain Powerboat Level 2, and provide safety fleet support, if their qualification is endorsed and they are accompanied by a qualified adult. Kids can start working on Powerboat Level 1 aged eight to fit with the championship age-groups.

Andrew added: “The kids who win the Honda Youth RIB aren’t the ones who can drive fastest in a straight line it’s those who can smoothly and skilfully manoeuvre a powerboat. That’s the whole purpose of the event.”

Twice Honda RYA Youth RIB champion Steven Curtis said: “Someone put me in a powerboat with them at our sailing club,

Paxton Lakes in Cambridgeshire, when I was seven. I started driving and I kept on driving! I’m now 14 and wouldn’t be the person I am if I hadn’t done the Honda RYA Youth RIB Championship.

“It’s brilliantly organised and very safe.

“Kids are the future of all sailing clubs; without safety boats no-one can go racing so developing highlyskilled RIB drivers and building strong safety fleets is so important.

“As well as doing support crew at my club I’ve also helped Northern Exposure Rescue and recently covered The Great River Race, a tidal rowing event in the Thames.

“I spent so much time practising manoeuvring a boat at speed I take a lot of pride in being able to get a boat into any space..

“Next year I’m going to start racing F400 powerboats as a navigator but

I’ll never stop promoting the Honda Youth RIB.” Martin Dobbs of Island Yacht Club, Canvey Island added: “Our kids have been successful at the national final in recent years and won two RIBS for the club.

“But the most important thing for us is getting youngsters into RIBs and training them up. If they go on to win local or regional heats, or the national, final, that’s fantastic but those kids who don’t win still train as we want them developing their skills and pushing the ones who are going to compete.

Words of wisdom found on the net Sticky’s tips

By Sticky Stapylton

I AM in the process of helping a couple commission their boat prior to sailing the yacht to Marmaris in Turkey.

I sing the praises of the internet where you can learn from others, pass on some of your wisdom, or have a rant about your pet like or hate.

I have used links to seek information about the trip and our destinations. I have received some very helpful advice which seems to come from all corners of the globe.

I like to keep up my Astro navigation skills and rather baulked at the idea of having to fly back with more than eight pounds of sight reduction tables in my suitcase.

So I asked where it would be possible to get this information on CD, and within a day I had been directed to a site which also had a whole host of valuable information for which one would have to pay in this country.

Fortunately the good old US of A believes that the American taxpayer has already paid for the information via his taxes.

I am in the process of downloading Routeing Charts, which the Americans call Pilot Charts. The North Atlantic edition will cover the

whole of my route to Turkey.

All I need is a boat with a good laptop, well secured and well away from the weather.

The link is http://msi.nga.mil/ NGAPortal/MSI.portal. instructor@sail-help.co.uk www.sail-help.co.uk

Choosing a liferaft

In times of distress

THE owners have asked me to advise them on which liferaft they should buy.

Size will not be difficult to decide but I am often torn between valise or container, bearing in mind the former must be stowed out of the weather and the latter must be stowed in the correct aspect and never, ever stepped on. If crew do put their weight on the canister, it could break the seals and the next thing you know water is inside and you may have a failure in an emergency.

I always remember seeing a liferaft being inflated for inspection in Gibraltar after I had carried it 3,000 miles.

It failed to inflate on pulling the umbilical and so the container was

This was a raft which had been serviced in England two years before and since then the firm that carried out the service had ceased to exist.

OK, I had the liferaft stowed on deck for those two years in the hot Moroccan sun but I blanch at the thought of what would have happened if we had had to deploy it in an emergency.

I always ask now if I can be present when my liferaft is inflated prior to servicing, at least you get an idea of how it has fared since the last service.

It’s all in a catch phrase Sarah Brown Regional Advisor, The Green Blue

FOR the first time we took the action of our annual conference north of the border to Glasgow.

More than 80 representatives of marine businesses and sailing clubs, from across the country came together to hear how they could play a part in the sustainable development of the sector both in Scotland and across the UK. Running a conference is never easy but the team soon forgot the painful months of hard work as the busy noise of delegates networking filled our ears.

It helped that Glasgow lived up to its reputation for an impressive Celtic welcome. Baillie Morrison from the City Chambers lead the proceedings as we enjoyed a glass of single malt and some grand music from a piper at the informal pre conference dinner.

Tom Cunliffe gave a stirring talk outlining his thoughts about our collective responsibility to ensure a clean environment for future generations.

We had workshops on energy efficiency, creating actions plans and on the economic and environmental development of the sector. There

were talks on the new Marine Act and wildlife crime as well as a government perspective from MSP Stuart Mc Millan.

I was hoping that we would end the day with a room full of people who had garnered new knowledge and were ready and inspired to take action.

I think we achieved that but we also got something new – a catch phrase!

The day had begun with an inspirational talk from GTG Chief Executive, David Scott. David not only sponsored the event but simplified the complex talk of sustainability and environmental imperatives in one nifty phrase – ‘Green-BlueThinking’.

Now I have been called everything from the eco-reaper to the hippy with the hair but I have never had my own catch phrase.

I could hear delegates talking about the Green-Blue-Thinking they could incorporate into everyday boating lives.

The interest in our work has tripled since the conference. I think we may just have started something.

It is certainly going to be a busy 2011!

To find out more about Green-BlueThinking visit www.thegreenblue. org.uk or call 0844 556 9544 in Scotland or 02380 604100 for UK wide information.

Three months free on South West deepwater moorings

Down on the yard: busier than ever

Focus

Arthur Beecham, Master Joiner, applies finishing touches to ‘Blue Pool’

boatman Owen Etherington assisted Will drive home 1,300 new copper nails and roves.

Arthur Beecham, 70-year old master joiner, has been building a new cockpit for a Fairey Marine Fisherman – the final phase of a total re-build.

Saul Thomas, the glass-fibre specialist has been fabricating hatch covers and making good countless dinks and dents after a busy sailing season.

The yard also took on the restoration of a Bembridge Scow – which shipwright Adam Hocking has completed for a doting owner.

New year projects include putting a new deck on a Vancouver yacht, repairing a John Leather cutter, fitting a new engine to an 1897 classic gaffer, Pierette.

Mike Hooton said: “It takes years to build a team of this quality and to have confidence in the work we produce as well as the level of service we can offer our customers.”

Launching ‘Catou’, a Malo 39, in preparation for the Transat

JUST three miles upstream of the famous Brunel Bridge over the Tamar in Plymouth, lies Weir Quay Boatyard and its 100 deepwater moorings in one of the most gorgeous settings on the South Coast.

Approaching the yard from the river through the cluster of moored cruising yachts, it could be just another traditional jobbing yard. So what is it that makes Weir Quay so special and keeps its customers returning year after year?

“I think we have a winning recipe,” says Mike Hooton, proprietor of the Yard for more than 11 years, “We offer expertise in all marine trades and every comfort and convenience of a modern marina.”

So keen is Weir Quay Boatyard to introduce yachts’ men and women to the wonders of the Tamar River that it is offering three months’ free mooring to anyone taking out an annual

contract by the end of January and a start date before 1 May. “We have a few moorings left for 2011”, said Mike Hooton, “We offer access to the finest cruising waters in the UK outside the Western Isles from a base which is completely free of the hustle and bustle associated with the waters around the Solent.”

The yard has moorings for yachts up to 50 feet in length and can launch and recover boats up to 20 tons.

Everything is included in Weir Quay’s annual contracts and you don’t pay any extras for the standard services and facilities. Water and electricity is not charged, toilets and showers are free, WiFi is available to all customers, on their boats or ashore.

“We think our customers like to have a fixed price,” says Mike Hooton.

Perfect haven in a storm

AAS1101 Weir Quay

IT is always hectic getting all the boats ashore, de-commissioned and winterised before Christmas but the exceptional spell of sub-zero temperatures made it a busier time than ever at Weir Quay.

Spencer Hamlyn, head engineer and colleague David Pascoe found many of the diesel engines had seized up in the freeze but every boat was attended to before the holiday break.

Mike Hooton, proprietor at the boatyard, puts the increased workload down to the economic situation. “Boat owners want to look after their boats and are choosing to upgrade or re-fit rather than trade them in for new ones,” he said.

In addition to seasonal maintenance and servicing the yard has installed three new engines, blasted two hulls for preventative osmosis treatment, and re-sprayed the topsides of two sailing yachts, including a Sparkman & Stephens 34 footer.

The shipwrights at Weir Quay have been so busy that they didn’t have time to take on the restoration of the Yard’s own 1950’s launch, Ocean Ranger.

This was outsourced to local boatbuilder, Will Stirling of Stirling & Son, who interrupted his current project of building a 40-foot gentleman’s yacht. Weir Quay

Company

IT is hard to believe that the Tamar River was once the most bustling inland thoroughfare in the West of England.

In the 1850s it landed more ships and a greater tonnage of cargo than the River Mersey and the City of Liverpool. Now it is a tranquil sanctuary for wildlife, protected by every international environmental designation, whose peace is only interrupted by the occasional passing yacht and the comings and goings of the busy traditional boatyard at Weir Quay.

“Mostly I stay here for the peace and quiet and because I am left to my own devices,” said Peter Charles, proud owner of a classic Super Sovereign ketch, Queen Bee, which he has moored at Weir Quay Boatyard since 2002.

As a senior executive with a global media company, Peter has to fly all over the world at the drop of a hat. Weir Quay provides his perfect haven in a storm. “Winter or summer, I come here to relax and get away from it all but it also provides ideal cruising waters, whether it’s a family summer cruise to the Isles of Scilly

Tranquil moorings at Weir Quay on the Tamar River

or an off-season hop to Dartmouth or Fowey.”

Peter’s is happy to rely on the experience and expertise of the Weir Quay tradesmen. It is the standard of marine works coupled with having access to all marine trades in one place that keeps him rooted at Weir Quay Boatyard.

Living in Hampshire it takes him threeand-a-half hours to reach his boat. It isn’t the nearest access to the sea but, according to Peter, it is worth the drive: “It’s like having a second home in a spectacular setting, and I relax as soon as I get there.”

Tides . . . what are they?

WHEN you’re out on the water, you might find that your boat gets pushed or pulled in different directions even without you wanting it to. This is caused by the tide.

Tides flow into shore (flood) then go out again (ebb) twice every day and are caused by – here’s the science bit – the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon.

Getting to know the tides and how they flow will really help you while you’re out sailing, so here are some top tips.

Don’t get stuck Tides cause the level of the water to rise and fall, so make sure you know what sort of tide to expect – how deep or how shallow it might get whilst you’re out on the water.

Plan ahead by checking the Tidal range - the technical term for how big the difference is between high and low tide - and check out a tide table

tides on your trip. You can easily check the direction of the tide when out on the water by seeing how it flows around an object.

So do tides only flow in and out? which will show you the times of high and low tide.

A big tidal range means the level of water can dramatically change. As we all know you can’t sail without water, so it’s worth getting to know an area during low tide so you don’t get stranded.

Go with the flow If you can it’s best to sail ‘with the tide’, this can make for an easier journey but it can be a lot trickier and slower if you’re sailing against the tide.

Think ahead before you set off so you know what to expect from the

No, they can also go sideways – but don’t worry, it not too complicated!

Just make sure you plan your route a little differently so the tide doesn’t drag you off course.

What’s new for 2011 As we sail into 2011 Adrian Porter looks ahead to what the New Year will bring.

CHAMPAGNE corks have ushered in the New Year and we’re all signing up to gyms and diets with the absolute best of intentions.

2011 is certainly upon us and as we all know – a promising new year means shiny new stuff.

So what’s new for 2011? Quite a lot actually.

Providers and manufacturers have been mobilising their forces to bring you a whole range of new yachts, sports boats, RIBs, gadgets, gizmos and services, and we have picked out some of our favourites, most of which will be appearing at the London Boat Show.

Let’s start with the big guns.

Super Yachts Sunseekers: Manhattan 73 and Predator 115 Super yachts may be the foray of the elitist super rich but they are the fantasies of many and Sunseeker will be starting the year not with one luxury cruiser to drool over – but two.

Being launched at the show by none other than Rebecca Ferguson, X-Factor finalist, the new Manhattan 73 features a brand new hull design, spacious interior, three ensuite cabins and for the first time, will offer a joystick manoeuvring system.

The new flybridge model, the Sunseeker Predator 115 (pictured), has taken inspiration from the bigger and award winning Predator 130.

Robert Braithwaite, Sunseeker founder said: “The new Predator 115 provides performance, space and the aggressive lines and sharp long bow which are synonymous with the Predator range, yet offers something genuinely new and exciting to further extend the range.”

The Princess 32M

Holding the record for being the biggest boat to be hoisted into the Tullet Prebon International London Boat show, the Princess 32M is as the name suggests, 32 metres long.

It is also a staggering 13 metres high and weighs in at 100 tonnes. A powerful flybridge yacht, the 32 can accommodate ten people ‘with a high level of privacy’. No-one at the London Boat Show will be able to miss it.

Fairline: 50 GRAN TURISMO and Squadron 58 Not to be outdone by Sunseeker, Fairline will also be premiering two boats at the London show.

The new Squadron 58 is an update on the award winning Squadron 55.

The new design incorporates key trends and the ongoing signature Fairline styling but the key change is the longer length hull, which

will allow for the introduction of extended cockpit seating.

The new concealed mechanised Fairline Tender Launch, designed for either a Williams 325 Jet RIB or a Valiant Dynamic 2.7m, is fitted as standard. As with the Squadron 65, the latest model features an overhead lift-up transom shower.

The 50 GRAN TURISMO express cruiser has gone for a more contemporary look from its predecessors and sports panoramic windows and extensive glazing to maximise natural daylight throughout the craft, the galley and saloon can also turn into an open-air living space.

Universal Yacht Care it’s all in a name!

Boutique not Mainstream on the River The vision of Universal’s owner, Avia Willment, is to provide the most modern Marina and Boatyard facility in Britain, as well as ensure it remains an integral part of its community and surrounding environment.

One of the few independent marinas now left in Britain, Universal puts its energies and profits into increasing its facilities to support tenants and berth holders, not shareholders.

Looking to the future Avia talks of Universal and its wide range of services and premium customer facilities: ‘One of our customers called it “Boutique”, I prefer to think of it as quality service with attention to detail, born from my passion for racing.

Situated on the east bank of the River Hamble, Universal is ideally placed for those wanting to spend less time travelling in the car and more sailing on the boat than those moored closer to the mouth. This is a consideration often overlooked by those seeking moorings along one of England’s most sought after sailing locations.

The businesses that reside at Unversal Marina are diverse, but compliment the Marina and the needs of boatowners, from the latest hoist docking facilities to personal sailing lessons.

Universal Marina’s location is second to none, with acres of wildlife, woods and marshland. With state of the art luxury bathrooms designed to accommodate individual families, Bistro Restaurant and full repair services, Universal is the perfect place to sail, work and relax.

Keeping Customers Happy David Spencer, Managing Director of CC Marine & Industrial Supply Ltd arrived at Universal Marina in 2000 having out grown his garage. In 2001 and 2002 he won the small business awards and today he has agents around the world.

Since coming to Universal Marina they have grown to support local needs and have become recognised as a major player in the marine industry on the south coast. CC Marine prides itself on being a single source of supply for the marine industry. If they don’t stock a part they’ll move mountains to get it quickly and at a very competitive price – without compromising on quality.

Nautical Nellie’s Nautical Nellie’s is a popular venue for hungry yachties, visitors to Universal Marina and walkers enjoying the attractive surrounds and tow path. It is out of the variety of customers that that the menu and daily specials board has developed.

Nellie’s is a family owned business run

by Tracey Thurlow with her husband David, her son, Chris, and daughter Beth.

The Restaurant’s kitchen is headed

by Chef Rosamund O’Toole. Totally inspired by Tracey’s Grandmother,

‘Nellie’. Tracey uses the recipes that were handed down to her from her Scottish born gran. Nellie, who grew up in the Clyde, remained passionate about the sea, living her whole life close to the water. Tracey adds ‘My grandmother loved to cook and wherever she travelled in the world she always brought back new recipes on scraps of paper’. Tracey explains, ‘All our meals are home-made and we use a lot of local ingredients.’ David adds, ‘Our steak-burgers are always well received and Nellie’s Belly Buster is a real challenge. No one can say they go home hungry from this place!’

Nautical Nellie’s has seating for 80 inside, and room for 200 covers,

2011 sees Universal Yacht Care fully launched with improved facilities. What had 10 years ago began as Avia Willment’s personal obsession for classic Metre Yachts and other racing machines has now developed from a private facility into an exceptional high quality yacht repair service, born from yacht owners knocking on the door.

UYC provides a wide range of repair and build services for all types of boat.we also offers all levels of management as required by the owner, whether that be servicing your engine or ensuring there is cold champagne on ice for your arrival.

The services include Wood and GRP works, rigging and equipment supply and maintenance, sail supply and care, in addition to undercover storage for boat, masts and booms, valeting and various levels of hull preparation and anti fowling, parts supply plus ancillary works.

Universal Yacht Care welcomes boats of every description. The dedicated team at UYC pride themselves on their high standards of painting and varnishing, which has been known to turn heads on the Hamble. Inevitably, certain jobs have to be contracted out to specialists in their field, but the manager, Mike Barnes,

In addition to providing original and replacement parts for a wide range of pumps, auxiliary engines, compressors, purifiers and control products, CC Marine enjoy a working partnership with a number of international companies. These include Vulcan, who produce more than 50,000 mechanical seals for popular marine pumps and compressors, and Van Voorden – specialists in repair and maintenance of fixed pitch propellers and blades.

CC Marine holds exclusive rights as the worldwide marine distributors for the MERUS Ring. This unique device provides a total solution for corrosion, lime scale and bacterial contamination in water. It is an essential item with many applications in different environments. After introducing this remarkable product to Cunard, who

including the use of the garden area where there’s also space for a marquee. It is an ideal place for any kind of celebration, meeting or venue and is one of only a few restaurants on the Hamble that can cater for weddings and larger events. It’s also licensed for alcohol and entertainment.

The fenced, child-safe garden, which is peacefully bordered by a wooded Conservation Area teeming with wildlife, enjoys picturesque views of the Hamble. An idyllic spot to chill out, whatever the weather.

points out that with UYC’s staff’s many years’ combined experience, “We know just the right person to use and how work should be done!”

We know that the winter time is normally reserved for skiing and enjoying the fresh winter days, but before you do it is important to carry out a few essential jobs on your yacht to make sure next year starts with a good day back on the water! The scale of the task often varies vastly from a simple winterization of the engine, to an all-out refit. Whichever you choose, the maintenance will pay dividends in the long term.

For any advice contact Richard in the Marina office or Mike in the Universal Yacht Care Shed.

Watch out this spring for the launch of Flurt8ious, Avia’s latest creation. The very latest state of the art International Eight Metre; once an Olympic class is a Fauroux design. She will be training in the Solent ready for the 2012 Worlds in Cowes.

successfully trialled it on the QE2, it was then fitted to other cruise ships, vessels and in a variety of land based applications.

More recently CC Marine has been appointed UK agents for the Innotec range of products for marine applications, which include adhesives, lubricants, sealants and cleaners. They are also sole UK agents for Top Trock, a fast and highly efficient modular drying system. Not only will this dry boots, gloves, trousers and jackets quickly, from the inside out, but also specialist clothing such as breathing masks and chemical protection suits.

Responding to customers' needs is all-important to CC Marine. This led to them opening a chandlery at Universal Marina. Recognising that busy boat owners anxious to get to sea

sometimes forget to pack the most basic items, the one-stop-shop also keeps a few items such as toothbrushes, bars of soap, teabags, toilet rolls and even emergency deck shoes! They also stock a huge range of anodes on which they claim they can’t be beaten on price within a 100 mile radius!

When David was asked what has made the difference in developing CC Marine, with no hesitation he answered “Delivering Quality Customer Service is the Key to our success”

UK’s leading Marine Events & Charter Company J M Yachting Group has been based at Universal Marina since 2007. The group, J M Yachting Ltd and UK RIB Charter has become one of the UK’s leading marine events and charter companies with a fleet of RIBs and sailing boats that design tailor made events for you.

Unusually, JM Yachting own their own RIB’s; a matched fleet of eight 8 metre boats which are regularly used for popular corporate and team-building events such as Treasure Hunts and

To Russia with Love The name Discovery Sailing Project (DSP) comes from Scott of the Antarctic’s Royal Research Ship ‘Discovery’. For many years she was moored on the Thames and manned

by Sea Scouts. DSP was founded in 1971 and celebrates its 40th anniversary in October this year. It is a Scout based charity, which actively promotes ‘Offshore Sail Training Adventures for All’, not just Scouts.

Based at Universal Marina, Clive Fisher organises the Project, which has over 60 volunteers.

Poker Runs, both on the Solent and on the Thames. They have brought this team-building and fun into the 21st Century with the introduction of iPad technology for displaying charts on which challenges appear during the day’s pursuits, all triggered by GPS location.

2010 saw JM Yachting supply RIB’s for ‘Kite 4 Heroes’; a kite-surfing race of 70 nautical miles from Alderney to Poole, between teams from the Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy in aid of ‘Help for Heroes’.

Performing a very different role in last year’s Tall Ships Race, six of JM’s RIB’s were fitted with large nose cones and, working with the local pilots, used to nudge A Class ships into their berths in Hartlepool!

From Fund-Raising Events, Record Breaking Attempts, Tall Ships Races and even James Bond films, J M Yachting’s staff and RIB’s have had starring roles. You may have seen JM playing a major part supporting Dan Snow bringing stranded travellers back from Calais or Sir Richard Branson’s crossing of the English Channel in ‘Aquada’, an amphibious car, and in 2011 they will be again supporting his second attempt to kite surf across the Channel.

There are so many ways you can enjoy what J M Yachting has to offer, from tailor made events and occasions, or just chartering one of their professionally maintained vessels with highly qualified skippers. Think outside the box and let JM Yachting design that something special day that you and your team will never forget!

Opportunities to go to sea, on voyages of varying lengths, are available to all young people aged between 12 and 25 years, whatever your background.

Looking to volunteer to work in water based activity? DSP will help you to develop qualities in leadership, teamwork and seamanship, as well as providing physical recreation. The voyages are fun, character building and for many it can be a life-changing experience!

A recent addition to DSP’s fleet is a Robertson 34 cruising yacht gifted by the Alexander Fairey Memorial Fund in memory of Alex, who was tragically killed in an accident. The yacht is being used to train promising youngsters to become skippers of the future.

Stacks of space in a great location Hamble Yacht Services was founded 30 years ago at Port Hamble. Today it is one of the busiest full service boat yards in the UK’s sailing Mecca, with a reputation that attracts both local and international customers.

10 years ago HYS expanded their operation by providing a mirrored service at Universal Marina’s unique and tranquil site on the River Hamble.

Catering for all yachting and motorboat needs whether mechanical, electrical, rigging, carpentry or GRP services, and managing all boat movements within Universal’s boat yard. They accommodate up to 120 boats from dinghies to 75 ft yachts (max 60 tons). HYS is a one-stop shop for all your marine requirements and all it takes is one phone call, to one person!

HYS’s modernisation at Universal Marina includes the introduction of the Kanijpster boat cradle system, which has not only improved safety, but also the efficiency of storage plus the forklift and dry stacking facilities which opened in April 2009. The facility to stack and store up to 10m

In 2010 the DSP began a new initiative to provide adventure holidays afloat for anyone with auditory or visual impairments. Clive Fisher, Project Organiser for DSP, says, ‘We have an audio compass to aid steering, but many trainees can hold a course better than 5 degrees just with the feel of the wind on their face, the angle of the boat and a sense of its speed!’

Corporate voyages raise muchneeded funds and from mid-May this year DSP’s ‘Thermopylae Clipper’, a 65ft former round-the-world racing yacht, is being chartered by the Great Baltic Adventure in a re-run of the draymen’s routes of 200 years ago.

sports boats and Ribs ashore has proved so popular they are expanding it by nearly 50% this winter, ready for the new season in April.

Malcolm Hearnden HYS’s General manager discusses its benefits “the dry stack system has proved so popular because the owners don’t just have peace of mind from increase in security, but also gain from reduced cost of maintenance and improved fuel consumption which in today’s climate is always a bonus”. Ancasta’s marketing manager Leighton King added “We recognise improved resale values on dry stacked boats which make over and above those that are kept afloat and we are keen to see this facility expand”. (Ancasta bought HYS 5 years ago) Mick Johnstone, the HYS Universal yard manager, is offering a year’s contract for dry stacking at good rates that include unlimited lifts, with one hour’s notice, 7 days a week from April to October. He talks of the other storage services, “We also mirror the dry sailing package available at Port Hamble for serious race boats from SB3s to 45 foot custom yachts” When asked what makes the place different? He comments, “Whilst the environment is relaxed the delivery is professional and you don’t get stuck in traffic trying to get here. If you are interested in what we offer, make it your priority to call us, as the places will soon go!”

Repairing and re-powering TS Marine has been based at Universal Marina since 1998 and its owner, Scott Sandford, recalls how the facilities have changed. ‘We came here because it was the only boatyard locally where we could set up a marine engineering facility. In those days the workshop had a wooden front and plywood doors!’

Today Universal Marina has changed considerably, Scott and his team of trained marine engineers now have a fully equipped modern workshop, where the company specialises in the supply of new engines with a range of general repairs and maintenance of engines and ancillary equipment for small yachts, launches and motor boats. Alongside the workshop is a large, hard-standing area for boats undergoing work. This, in conjunction with on-site lift out and launch facilities plus using their road legal crane, they also offer mast lifting, which makes life easy for boat owners.

TS Marine is the main dealer and stockist for Beta Marine engines and

Sprint, Sunliner, Signature and Superyacht Launched in 1979 the Trader brand of long range motor yachts established itself as a serious constructor. For the past 12 years these ‘ultimate cruising machines’ have been designed by Toby Chappell. For the hulls of all the most recent models they are working with Tony Castro Yacht Design.

In 2009 Toby Chappell and his sister, Sarah, started Trader Motor Yachts Ltd and took over the manufacture of the boats. Last year they opened a new UK sales office at Universal Marina. Toby says, ‘We like the location because the road access is so much easier than it is to the Hamble Village locations and Universal Marina itself is so much nicer.’

Trader have four models in their current line-up, which range from the 38 Sprint; a sleek sports-cruiser which attracted much attention at the Southampton Boat Show last September, to the 75 Superyacht

generating sets in the Solent. ‘Our core business is re-powering yachts, perhaps ones that are 20, 30 or 40 years old” explains Scott. You don’t need to re-engine a new boat unless it’s had a disaster. And that’s rare.’

Our engineers are experienced in the repair and servicing of a wide range of popular engines including (but not limited to) Beta Marine, Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Mercruiser, Iveco, Doosan, ListerPetter and Westerbeke.

‘We stock all the major service parts for the engines we are dealers for and generally we have most things on the shelf.’ A full engineering service is also available for ancillary items such as propellors and stern gear.

Happy to travel, TS Marine provides a full, water-based service on the Hamble, and will venture further afield if required. Scott says, ‘Although most of our work is local, we’ll go anywhere on the South Coast. Last year we even did jobs in Barcelona and Marseille for British customers abroad who prefer us to work on their boats!’

TS Marine Ltd. Tel: 01489 581030. www.tsmarine.co.uk

which is built for serious longdistance cruising.

All the boats are built in the Far East, under direct supervision, but they are designed and engineered

by Trader in the UK, working with Tony Castro and High Modulus in Hamble.

Last December, Trader held a launch party at Universal Marina for four new 42 Signature models, which were the first new Traders to be commissioned and handed over at the Marina.

In June last year the Cruising Club of Switzerland welcomed a Trader 42 Signature into their fleet. ‘Delivering a 42 to the CCS has been a big deal for us because their boats run 6 months of the year, 7 days a week, with a new crew taking over every Saturday in a new port!’, Toby enthuses. ‘This is an incredibly intense schedule for a motor yacht, so it’s a great testament to our quality that the CCS chose a Trader.

The boat, “Rolling Swiss II”, will be at the London Boat Show this year on Stand M3’.

Pocket Superyachts What happens when you combine the talents of one of the World’s top performance powerboat and superyacht tender builder with one of the World’s top stylists and designers?

The result is being played out at the Marina they both selected as their headquarters. Indeed, Universal Marina’s forecourt finds Pascoe International’s manufacturing and finishing workshops fronting on to the Ken Freivokh Design waterfront studio, and together they are taking design, technology and craftmanship to a totally new level - one could say…..from bosanova to super nova!!

Pascoe International is a world leader in the design and manufacture of luxury tenders to superyachts. For the past 10 years, Pascoe has been headquartered at Universal Marina, with uninterrupted expansion of their facilities, even during the recent crisis. General Manager Richard Watson says, ‘These are the right facilities in the right place and we have a prestigious waterfront location, which is important to our clients.’ As soon as planning was secured for a purpose designed waterfront office, Ken Freivokh Design were delighted to participate in the building design and join the prestigious Universal Marina, which undoubtedly is now the prime location in the top yachting river in Europe.

Pascoe has been, and continues to be, a pioneer in the development of true Superyacht standard tenders. When work started at Universal Marina, yacht tenders were largely orange utility boats – a necessary, rather “agricultural” device to get guests ashore. With the advent of ever larger yachts which often require to anchor offshore, the guests deserved and demanded tenders which had to be not only reliable, but as well finished and beautiful as the mothership. That requirement sparked the close collaboration between the Freivokh studio and Pascoe, and the first by-product of such collaboration turned out to be the now famous 10m custom

50 years of Volunteer Service 2010 was a remarkable year for the Rona Sailing Project.

As well as celebrating its 50th anniversary, it was named Sail Training Organisation of the Year for small vessels.

Since it began in 1960, the RSP has taken more than 30,000 young people to sea! The charity has only five fulltime members of staff, and relies upon the amazing 400 volunteers, including all the Skippers, Mates, Watch Officers and Watch Leaders that give their time.

Barry Easton-Corke, Project Director at RSP, says, ‘The trainees do everything. It’s their boat for the week. They’re put into Starboard Watches with a Watch Officer and a Watch Leader who must be under 25, because it’s important that they are on the same wavelength as the trainees. It’s not about sailing long distances, but about learning to live with each other, caring for the boat and having fun!’

The charities aim is “to provide (through the medium of sea training in offshore craft) opportunities for young people to acquire the attributes of a seaman, namely: a

built tenders for the World’s largest privately owned sailing yacht “Maltese Falcon”. So highly regarded are Pascoe in the marine industry, that their tenders are now standard fit in all the major European yards.

Of course, Pascoe is not resting on its laurels; active development continues on a number of fronts. During the last couple of years they chalked another World first, namely fully SOLAS certified rescue tenders, which could be used alongside identical elegant matching shuttle tenders. Larger tenders are also in build with a number of permutations, including beach landing facilities for the guests, purpose built dive boats, chase boats and most recently the development of a true “Limo” tender, designed to bring guests ashore dry and in total comfort and elegance.

Pascoe’s credentials are greatly enhanced with the excellent Universal Marina facilities – tenders can be launched from the travel lift, or the giant fork lift using slings, or the built-in lifting points within yards of the workshop doors at all states of the tide, which allows immediate acceptance trials at the doorstep. Storage facilities are available both on the generous and well kept forecourt and on the massive racking facilities, purpose built along the waterfront. Further, Pascoe enjoys the use of a complete Marina bay immediate to the Marina gates and workshop, including the permanent use of a floating lifting bay – ideal for testing and optimising propellers, trimming interceptors, etc.

Having raised the standard of tenders, chase and performance boats, run-alongside boats and others, it is not surprising that many Pascoe clients are Middle Eastern and North African rulers, not to mention well known yacht owning Russians, who regard the 85mph sure footed Pascoe cabin boats not only elegant, but a positive security bonus!

sense of responsibility, resourcefulness and team-work, which will help them throughout their lives. Young people aged between 14 and 25 years, from all backgrounds, are eligible for one-week sail training voyages.”

RSP also run sailing voyages for deaf, hard of hearing and blind or visually impaired adults, as well as supporting and supplying boats to the Gemini Sailing Project, which caters for people with serious learning difficulties.

“Merrilyn” a 62’ schooner, is the latest addition to the fleet which was specifically designed to incorporate technology and features for disabled trainees and was built by the RSP at Universal Marina. The fleet also includes “Rona”, 67’, “Lady Shona”, 32’, “Donald Searle” 75’, and “Helen Mary”, 57’.

This year, “Merrilyn” will be entered into The Round the Island Race to raise funds. A corporate charter is currently being sought. Barry says, ‘Her berth is booked and we’ll put a full crew on board. So anyone taking part can do as much or as little as they choose!’

Gadgets and gizmos TenderTrack Entering the realm of technical wizardry now and the latest offering from Tetra Boats comes in the form of a novel new way to keep track of your tender.

Designed to quell those niggling worries we all get when leaving the dinghy for the pub, or when the kids are mucking about on the water, the device has a highly sensitive 50 channel GPS and GSM data modem to allow the location of your tender to be constantly monitored on your smart phone.

It’s waterproof and has an internal rechargeable battery that can offer up to 72 hours of operation.

The device which is about the size of a box of matches, is designed to be mounted on the tender or the outboard and can survive in temperature of up to 70°C, so will happily sit inside your outboard cowling.

Also able to serve as an anchor drift alarm for your main boat, the panic button on the front of the unit can send a help call to up to five numbers when activated - excellent if you find yourself out of fuel.

Fuel Cell Systems Fuel Cell Systems will become the first company to present methanol and hydrogen powered fuel cells at the London Boat Show.

Offering a clean energy alternative to traditional fossil fuels, it is currently used to power vehicles including cars, buses, taxis, motorcycles and an aeroplane. Now available to boat owners, Fuel Cells will offer clean, quiet on-board power generation.

Fuel Cell Systems will be demonstrating products from SFC Energy, IRD, Serenergy and BOC at the show. Anyone who registers their interest with Fuel Cell Systems will receive a £50 discount voucher against a future purchase.

Services Waterside Properties Waterside properties, who specialise in homes set next to the water, will be opening their doors at the show by launching the new ‘Waterside Network’.

The new network will enable other agents and prospective franchises to join with Waterside Properties, helping them expand their services on both a national and international basis.

You do not have to be a potential agent to take an interest in their wares – with all manner of waterside accommodation available and with

the selection inevitably going to increase, it may be worth wandering over to their stand to indulge your waterside property prospects.

First Class Sailing A new boat ownership scheme will be launching at the London International Boat Show by First Class Sailing.

Aimed at those already in boating or those looking for a new craft, the scheme will include all boat maintenance, running costs, mooring fees, maintenance, repairs

and insurance (with Sea Start membership).

When not in use, the boat will be sailed by carefully vetted skippers and professional instructors. In addition, an income will be paid to the owner per every extra day the boat is used over 65 days a year.

Managing director of First Class

Sailing, Charlie Tulloch, said: “our new boat ownership scheme is the ideal way for boat owners to reduce their costs whilst still enjoying all the benefits of sailing their own yacht.

It’s also a great way for newcomers to the boating scene who want to trial owning a boat without all the hassle of maintenance and the running costs.”

New tricks at the show The Boat Show has a host of new tricks up its sleeve, most notable of which is the large watersports twist on 2011’s event.

The entire North Hall will sport a dedicated watersports zone, which will see a 70 x 24 metre pool installed for demonstrations of various water borne activities including dinghy sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding – SUP – and more.

Wakeboarding will also feature at the show and leading the charge will be professional rider and spokesman for the sport, Matt Crowhurst.

An overhead cable will be installed to tow the riders and obstacles will be put in place for the pro riders to perform tricks.

Matt Crowhurst said: “There will be a double-sided kicker and a huge rail that we’ll be sliding along right in front of the crowds – so bring your rain coats!”

The pool will also combine ‘try-it’ sessions and live demos by watersports experts which will include a canoe polo championship and an invitational SUP Sprint championship. And with John Hibbard, SUP distance champion on hand to coach, there has never been a better time to give it a go.

The North Hall will also have a beach bar for those who want to take a step back from the pool and enjoy nice refreshments.

Don’t be fooled… it really is English In the drink

By Paul Antrobus

I KNOW it’s January, not April 1, but English whisky exists.

It has been maturing in oak barrels since 2006 and since 2010 the first sales of legitimate English three-year-old whisky are happening.

And why not? There is Welsh, French, Irish, Scottish, so no reason not to have ‘English’.

Well done the English Whisky Co of St George’s Distillery, Roudham, Norfolk, England, for having the enthusiasm to produce the first English whisky for over 100 years. Single malt that is, not blends –“not ever” – they say.

The founders have been in farming for hundreds of years and in 2005 James Nelstrop, then 60, with his son Andrew, set about creating a whisky distillery on their land.

“Norfolk barley is the best,” they say, “and local Breckland water is superb”.

A seasoned Scotch Islay malt master distiller, Iain Henderson, was persuaded to join in and the process began seriously.

Their idea is to make single malt whisky, peated and unpeated, and to

enter each bottling in ‘The Book’ under its own chapter.

Over time, the whole story of how a whisky is born and develops can be followed. The chapter number on each bottle creates a precise provenance, which even the most recorded Scotch malts do not reveal.

The family couldn’t wait for the three years aging required by law for a spirit to be called ‘whisky’ and Chapter 1 was bottled straight off the still, diluted to 46 per cent abv. Not yet ‘whisky’, but aqua vitae.

By Chapter 6 it is a three-year-old, unpeated 46 per cent abv single malt whisky, distilled in July ’07, matured in Bourbon casks and bottled in Aug. ’10.

Chapter 9 is also a 46 per cent abv Bourbon cask three-year-old, but peated, while Chapter 10, only just available, is sherry cask matured.

One day there will be a 12-year-old but for now it is unrealistic to compare St. Georges’ output directly to multi-aged Scotch malts. As Japanese Suntory is a drink its own right, so is the English. The Scotsmen on my tasting panel were predictably disparaging – but I think this is a drink to try and follow over time.

At only three years old you can’t expect too much in depth of flavour or colour. Both the Chapter 6 and 9 are very pale, like a Rosebank lowland Scotch malt, but they have distinctive spirit flavours and enough texture to make them interesting. Dry, fresh and at 46 per cent abv it does the trick neat or over ice.

Visitors are welcome at the distillery. Even Prince Charles went there in 2007. Whatever next? Duchy of Cornwall ‘Cornish’ whisky to go with their ale, perhaps.

Available in specialist wine and whisky stores, it is not cheap hooch. Chapters 6 and 9 are £35 a bottle and the Chapter 10, a limited edition in a modern-style decanter will set you back £50 (only one bottle per order). To buy on line and for visiting info, go to www.englishwhisky.co.uk.

THE London sales or the Boat Show or both are hard work on the feet.

For a nice treat, a visit to the back bar of the Stafford Hotel might ease the pain. It’s right by the RORC in St James Place, London W1, or you can approach through Blue Ball Yard mews alley off St James’s Street, W1 (west side, Piccadilly end).

Owned by Thwaites, the Lancashire brewers of famous ales like Lancaster Bomber, the Stafford bar is full of memorabilia and historic photos of aircraft, J Class boats and other famous sailing yachts.

There is Thwaites on draught, plus classy cocktails and champagne by the glass. Great antidote to the January blues. There is a reasonably priced bar menu or before or after the Stafford you could have lunch next door at the RORC clubhouse.

BOOKS IN BRIEF Don’t Shoot the Albatross!

Essential Knots

Nautical Myths and Superstitions

Learning to Sail

Adlard Coles Nautical • £12.99

Adlard Coles Nautical • £7.99

THE step-by-step guide to tying the perfect knot for every situation A practical and stylish illustrated guide, Essential Knots shows how to tie each knot, step-by-step, with expert guidance on which knot to tie when and why.Each knot is categorised by its use in a particular sport or hobby, with a brief explanation as to why it is the best knot for the job.

Whilst some knots have a very specific use, the book also contains knots with many practical applications across a broad range of activities, as well as ornamental knots and trick knots. And there is a length of practice cord so that readers can try the knots for themselves.

Includes: • Everyday knots • Sailing knots • Fishing knots • Camping knots • Climbing knots • Caving knots • Pioneering knots • Ornamental knots • Trick knots The uses for each knot are described and each is rated for its level of difficulty.

Clear, uncomplicated photographs show the required steps to tie each knot, and there is also a picture of the finished knot put to use.

In Dinghies or Yachts: A No-nonsense Guide for Beginners of all Ages

SAILORS are a notoriously superstitious lot – even if some won’t admit it. Years of taking to the water, at the mercy of uncontrollable and sometimes deadly forces, have led even the wisest to seek ways of influencing the gods or fate.

From bad omens and odd rituals to lucky tokens and forbidden words, the superstitions of the sea are legion. Many have refused to go away, and over the centuries quite a few have entered the general public consciousness. Some are amusing in their own right, others have fascinating origins, whilst for many there are bizarre anecdotal incidents which would appear to lend credence to these strange beliefs.

Illustrated with comical cartoons, this quirky collection of nautical myths and superstitions explores the folklore of the sea, and will inform and entertain seafarer and landlubber alike.

Jonathan Eyers last went to sea on a Friday in a boat with 13 letters to its name and women on the passenger list but he somehow managed to survive. He is Editorial Assistant at Adlard Coles Nautical.

Adlard Coles Nautical • £9.99 WHETHER out on the water in a dinghy or a yacht, the new edition of Learning to Sail will help the beginner get started. Easy to read and with lively colour diagrams and photographs, this no-nonsense guide covers all the basics.

From how to start sailing, hoisting sails and the different kinds of boats to the effects of the tide, living aboard a yacht and ropes and knots.

Learning to Sail is the ideal guide for beginners of all ages, whether sailing with friends, on a course or a holiday, this book will be the perfect introduction.

For almost all his life, Basil Mosenthal has sailed all over the world. The author of several bestselling books for Adlard Coles Nautical, he has a talent for explaining, very simply, subjects that may at first seem rather complicated.

Recent books include Young Sailor, Learn to Navigate, Learning the Rule of the Road, The Powerboater’s Guide, Learning to Crew, Getting Afloat and Test Yourself on the Rule of the Road.

Encyclopedia of Weather and Climate Change A Complete Visual Guide Adlard Coles Nautical • £25.00 THIS resource of weather and climate is comprehensive, interesting, wide ranging and beautifully presented.

Written by a team of international experts, it provides an impressive overview of our globe, beginning with the foundations of weather and meteorology and ending with a detailed look at climate change.

With some of the world’s finest landscape and satellite photography, and hundreds of detailed illustrations, cutaways, crosssections, maps and charts, it provides easy to understand explanations.

• Section 1 discusses what weather is and how the seasons are formed.

• Section 2 explains the workings of weather phenomena.

• Section 3 covers devastating weather events.

• Section 4 covers the science of studying, watching and tracking weather.

• Section 5 tours the world’s climate zones.

• Section 6 provides a compelling portrait of the Earth and the effects of climate change.

The Encyclopedia of Weather and Climate Change is a truly spectacular reference to all aspects of the world’s weather.

EASY TO USE • Pre Connect the clip to your A2 Buoy with a Carabiner.

• Push the Clip over the tight anchored rope in one smooth push.

• Start your motors and drive towards the anchor rope at about 1700 RPM keeping the anchor ball and rope on the side of your boat.

• It is suggested if you have a Cleat on the “Hip” or centre side of your Gunwhale, get the rope to there and give it a quick loop around the cleat so that the rope does not pop over the edge of the hull.

• Drive away from the buoy and where the anchor was. This will pull the anchor straight up off of the bottom.

• When you see the buoy “Dip & Pop” that means the chain and anchor have fully been retrieved. Not even enough time to have a sip of that ice cold Beverage you just got out of the cooler.

• Turn the bow toward the anchor rope and idle over there while your one of your Fantastic Mates brings in the rope until they have the anchor pulled in the boat.

• Take the Griffin Clip in one hand and the rope in the other, push it back over the single rod in the middle that you just put it over a few minutes ago and pull it back through.

• Always Leave the Griffin Clip Attached to your A1 or A2 Buoy for future Retrievals, no more moving parts.

Yachtsman saved from harbour nightmare

NEWS IN BRIEF Pulled from Thames AT 1.50pm on December 14 the crew of Tower RNLI lifeboat station were called to reports of a woman in the River Thames and a police officer who had entered the river to rescue her. The lifeboat crew arrived to find a woman clutching a large flag in the water.

A police RIB was also on the scene and a police officer had entered the water in an attempt to recover the woman. Both were pulled into Tower RNLI lifeboat and taken back to the lifeboat station below Waterloo Bridge. The woman was passed to London Ambulance Service and was uninjured. The police officer was fine and later returned to work.

At the show THE RNLI has another strong presence at the London International Boat Show. The charity’s stand is at B37 in the North Hall, and among the attractions is the opportunity to have your picture taken while dashing to a rescue! Using green screen technology, you can be photographed aboard a lifeboat or raising funds with RNLI mascot Stormy Stan. The RNLI will also be displaying a D class inshore lifeboat, volunteer crew members will be on hand and free sea safety advice will be available.

THE volunteer crew of Workington’s all-weather lifeboat had an early call on 16 December to help a yachtsman in severe difficulties outside Whitehaven harbour.

The yachtsman had been attempting to enter the harbour to shelter from strong winds.

After taking on a lot of water, he alerted the coastguard, who requested the launch of Workington RNLI at 5.30am.

The wind was gusting to 42 knots and had turned to the north west, which meant it was blowing straight into the harbour. The yachtsman was trapped in his cabin while his yacht was thrown repeatedly against the pier in the outer harbour.

When the lifeboat arrived on scene, the crew deployed their small inflatable Y-boat and two volunteers went to the aid of the yachtsman.

They managed to get him on

board and back to the all-weather lifeboat. He was then transferred to an ambulance and taken to hospital to be checked over.

One of the RNLI crew suffered a dislocated shoulder while rescuing the man. He also had to be treated in hospital.

Captain Brian Ashworth, Workington RNLI lifeboat operations manager, said: “This was a difficult rescue as the position of
