Family Boating

10

It is an activity that the whole family can enjoy &a great way to spend time together!

For working boat families, the sport has never been one clearly defined as masculine, but in many leisure boating circles, this is exactly how it is seen. An expensive boys toy, something for a successful man to aspire to, an outward symbol of manly power and wealth.

All very well and good, but, sexual politics aside, modern family life means boating s very rarely purely a distant pastime for the man of the house. As any boating couple will tell you, the sheer expenditure of both time and cash means that foremost, the notion of such a hobby being the domain of one half of a couple is rather ridiculous. If you are an avid sailor, with a landlubbing wife; just how much time are you likely to spend aboard; and will the family thank you for spending precious income on a hobby which consumes an awful lot of your free time?

Boating is however very much an activity that the whole family can enjoy. It is an excellent way to spend lots of time relaxing outdoors, understanding teamwork and gaining a good understanding of geography and waterways.

There are plenty of sports which are perfectly enjoyed from a boat; fishing, cruising, racing and watersports. River boating can be an excellent way to explore both Britain’s scenic waterways and her fascinating waterside history.

The children can definitely get involved with boating, and a good place to start would be a boating holiday. There are of course safety considerations but a good provider will be able to help you organise your family into a proper crew. Life jackets are crucial for everyone on deck, and small children will need to be closely supervised. Children can help to plan routes, cast off and steer the boat. In the canals, kids love to help with navigating locks, and out at sea there are plenty of things to learn. Boating can create lifelong memories for kids, but safety will be your first priority.

The Basics: LIFE JACKETS:

Being lighter, children are more likely to be bounced overboard by a big swell, and are much more likely to trip or find another to slip.

A well fitting life jacket is an absolute must, as the wrong size can actually be more dangerous.

To fit well, the jacket should be snug but not restrictive, and fit well enough to be unable to raise higher than ear level. Automatic inflation is much better than a cord which needs to be manually activated in the event of immersion.

HANDS: Stability on board is another important lesson.

One hand to stabilise at all times will help your youngsters to learn to balance with the motion of your boat and keep them prepared at all times for any unexpected movement. WALK, don’t run.

EARS: Learning to listen to all instructions properly; and acting without hesitation on those instructions is a crucial part of boating. Who ever the skipper of your boat, they need to know that all orders will be obeyed immediately to maintain the safety of the crew.

YOUNG CHILDREN: The excitement and sunshine can all get a bit much, so a cuddy for a quiet nap and perhaps a tether or harness is an excellent idea to stop toddlers and young children exploring dangerous areas and allow parents to relax slightly.

NO GO: All types of boats should have no go areas for the children. Any engine or propeller machinery for a start, or near the companion way opening.

11

Man (or Woman)

Overboard!

It happens to every sailor sooner or later; but what is the best way to stay safe if you do go overboard?

Of course a life jacket is the key thing here, and you should wear one at all times, but actually the risk is as much from being immersed in cold water as from drowning. Even though you maybe boating in temperate climes, the water can actually be very cold, and the reaction of your body is enough to be life threatening within a frightening short period of time.

Several factors will affect how fast the effects of cold water immersion take place, including: AGE: The very young or elderly will feel the effects of immersion much quicker than a fit adult WEIGHT: body fat and bulk can help insulate your body and slow cooling MOVEMENT: Movement actually speeds up temperature loss WATER DEPTH: Deeper, cooler water will cool your body more quickly than warmer, shallow water

12

CLOTHING: Waterproof, insulated clothing can help regulate body temperature and insulate against cooling much more efficiently than a swimming costume or light clothing.

The stages of shock and physical reaction to cold water immersion are: STAGE ONE: Lasting a matter of minutes, this stage is the leading cause of death in overboard situations. It can be fatal to the elderly and infirm very rapidly; and even healthy adults are at great risk. The body will firstly respond to cold water immersion by pushing your heart rate up, to counter the closure of blood vessels in your skin - sometimes as high as 200 beats per minute, which can be very detrimental to heart health or induce a heart attack. Respiratory rate will also increase dramatically. At this point, the danger of drowning is at its highest, as the body loses conscious control of your breath. It is almost impossible to hold your breath at this stage for more than a few seconds, which makes submersion very dangerous.

It takes only 3 pints of water in your lungs for you to drown, which can be swallowed very quickly during periods of rapid, uncontrolled breathing.

The most critical thing you need to do at this stage is keep your head clear of the water and your breathing unimpeded.

STAGE TWO: After cold shock, the second phase lasts closer to half an hour, and is the stage at which you will begin the gradual decrease of coordination and brain function. Now is the time in which to implement your survival skills while you still have the physical and mental ability to react and try to remove yourself from the water. Heat is lost some 20 times quicker in water than in the air, so getting yourself to a life raft or dry land is imperative at this point; although you need to remember that a distance which might seem perfectly fine to swim in warm water will not be nearly so easy.

STAGE THREE: This is the point at which hypothermia will start to set in, affecting bodily functions and worsening as the body begins to balance with the surrounding water temperature, leading to unconsciousness and organ and heart failure.

What to do: HUDDLE The first and most important point is to keep your head up and out of the water. While your breathing is hard to control, the risk of drowning is at it’s highest, but the head is also the area of your body through which the greatest amount of heat is lost. You must try to remove yourself from the cold water as quickly as you can, by climbing back aboard or reaching the shore if it is within a reasonable swimming distance.

To try and retain heat, remember the H.E.L.P floating position (Heat Escape Lessening Position).

If there are several people, huddling together in a group should help insulate to keep body temperature up. If alone, keep your knees drawn up and your arms crossed close to your chest to stop as much heat escaping as possible.

After leaving the water, remove wet clothing quickly, and wrap up warmly. Rewarming should concentrate on the torso until core temperature is restored.

the key IS TO wear A life jacket at all times!

Restoring A Classic Wooden Boat

If you are a sailor, sailing a wooden boat is one of the most pleasurable, satisfying feelings in the world. The admiring glances from bystanders will fill you with pride, especially if you have restored the boat to its former, glorious standard with your own blood, sweat and tears. The passion that you feel for your wooden craft is something that a GRP, steel or aluminium boat can never compete with. Wood on water is the perfect marriage of man and nature.

The most cost effective way to own a wooden boat is to buy a restoration project and restore it yourself. As well as being a way of buying your boat at excellent value, it can be very

rewarding to pick up a cheap project and rebuild and repair it at your own pace, spreading the cost as you work.

For the amateur, however, the problem is knowing where to start. There are many books on the subject of boat restoration, and these can be an invaluable starting point, although do be aware that sometimes they are produced with conflicting advice from different writers. Seasoned professionals, or enthusiastic amateurs with their own experiences of rebuilding and restoring usually write these books. Experts tips can give you insights into shortcuts that could save you hours.

“The most cost effective way to own a wooden boat is to buy a restoration project and restore it yourself ” 14

“Sailing a restored boat is one of the most pleasurable & satisfying feelings in the world ” It is likely that this will be a long-term project as repairing and restoring can be both costly and time consuming. Do remember that the bigger the boat the higher the likely costs for rebuilding as well as maintenance and mooring. It is advisable to start small but also to buy the right boat for your needs.

You may find the boat you wish to buy through adverts in boating magazines but if you’re after a real bargain, then boatyards and marinas often have old, abandoned boats that the yard owners have repossessed to pay outstanding charges and it is well worth searching them out.

If this is your first project, then start small and simple with an 8” flat-bottomed rowboat, or pram. You will need an ice pick to diagnose the state of the pram.

Use the ice pick to test the condition of the hull.

The wooden planks may have become soft if they are starting to rot. Test the planks on the outside, the inside and also the boat’s ribs to ascertain what needs replacing. Ideally, the wood should be too hard for the ice pick to penetrate but, obviously, in a very old boat some softness must be anticipated. Check every inch of the pram, even the awkward hardto-reach places. In particular, check any place that water may have pooled when the boat was not in use, as this is the most likely area to experience rot.

The rotten or soft timber will need replacing. Use a wood like cedar or fir for the planks, and a harder wood such as oak for the ribs. If your hull is slightly rounded then you will need to steam the planks first so that they can be bent into a curve before being nailed onto the hull. This will require help, as steaming and bending before the wood cools and hardens again is a tricky process.

The next important task is to caulk the boat’s seams so that it is waterproof. Apply a marine use caulking and take your time to ensure that you don’t skip any areas, after all your hard work a leak would be very unwelcome.

Finally, seal the boat with a good marine sealant and maybe even a fresh lick of paint, and you re ready to set sail!

A Boat From Home

TIPS & ADVICE FOR FIRST TIME BOAT BUYERS Messing about on the river has a certain ring to it, and like many Brits who have experienced the joys of hiring a boat and cruising the canals, the idea of buying your very first boat might be starting to appeal. In many respects, boat buying is not dissimilar to buying any other vehicle, but with brand new models reaching prices of over £100,000, we are talking about a considerable investment and one where it really does pay to make sure you do extensive research.

First off, if you haven’t already, do hire a boat to find out whether you and your family enjoy

16

the realities of the life, from the living space to handling locks, mooring and understanding the regulations. For first time buyers, even with a large budget, it can be an ideas to experiment with an older boat to get an understanding of what features you prefer before shelling out on custom fittings and spec on a new purchase.

Budget, of course, is key. You can lay out on a brand new, top of the range narrowboat built to spec, or choose something appealing and nearly new, or, if you aren’t averse to working hard and taking a punt, look at something which

needs some work but is at the much lower end of the market. Whichever you choose, don’t forget that whatever the initial costs, ongoing budget also needs to be carefully considered.

Essential maintenance is one factor, but running costs also figure. Fuel is expensive, and propane for cooking and a regular pump out toilet tank change will also figure. Your boat will need a licence for your intended waterways along with a permanent mooring, both of which will depend on the length of craft you buy and will need to be renewed regularly. Insurance is also crucial, because while boating is relative safe, in comparison to say motoring, accidents can and do happen, and can be expensive to correct.

Insurance is also a requirement of the Canal and River Trust, who will likely be issuing your licence.

Once you have set a budget, find some reputable dealers and begin to understand the market.

Magazines and online will help you to understand pricing, particularly in the second hand market, and a good broker should be able to advise on good purchases for your budget and perhaps begin to look at acquiring something suitable on your behalf. As with any vehicle, do not rely on online images and descriptions –

you need to see the boat in action to fully understand its condition and any quirks it may have. Brokers will be showing all boats to their best advantage, but as a buyer, especially a newbie, buying unseen could prove an extremely expensive mistake.

Surveys Getting a survey done by a professional, experienced examiner is a must. Your surveyor will advise and want to survey the boat out of the water in order to check hull thickness. A good survey will come in at under £1000, and will provide a written report, much like a house survey, which will give you a good understanding of the boats condition, any major or minor works that need attending and a fair understanding of whether the listed price is a fair one.

Many Brits experience the joys of cruising the canals!

Fishing & Angling AN INTRODUCTION

Among those with a passion for it, fishing as a sport is an absolute joy, and for some, goes as far as obsession! Recreational fishing is a hobby, for pleasure or competition as opposed to commercial fishing; for profit, or subsistence fishing, which is fishing for survival. The history of recreational fishing and how long it has been a hobby is unclear, but there is evidence of fly-fishing in Japan as early as 9th century BC and in Macedonia in 200 AD. Recreational fishing became popular in Britain in the 16th and 17th centuries, leading to the publication of The Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton in 1653. This book is a fascinating classic guide to the joys of fishing, and combines practical information with folklore. Occasional songs, ballads, quotations from other writers, as well as angling tips and advice enliven the story of three friends travelling through the English countryside. It has been reprinted hundreds of times since its first publication.

The most common form of recreational fishing is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and bait.

This is known as angling and after being caught the fish is often released back into the water, a technique known as catch and release. The general term for all fishing equipment is fishing tackle. Anglers will often use extra pieces of tackle, known as terminal tackle, as these go at the hook end, to enhance their fishing equipment. These can be weights, floats and swivels. Lures can also be used instead of bait,

“Among those with a passion for it, fishing as a sport is an absolute joy, & for some, goes as far as obsession!”

and keen anglers usually make their own lures and artificial flies. This has become somewhat of an art form, with the most beautiful and functional flies being emulated nationwide.

Recreational fishing has conventions, rules, licensing restrictions and laws that govern the way in which fish may be caught. In Britain, the different counties have different fishing by-laws although they typically cover angling concerns such as the use of nets, the prohibition of hooks except in the mouth, banning of fishing in certain areas, closed seasons, quotas and the issuing of licenses to allow fishing. Most of these by-laws are in place to ensure that stocks of native fish are properly sustained.

Some keen anglers keep fish logs detailing fish caught and in particular the details of trophy-sized fish so that they maybe submitted to judging and awarding bodies for verification.

Nowadays, many anglers also take part in competitive tournaments where the winner is the angler deemed to have caught the heaviest of a specific type of fish within a set time. Many of the competitors are professional fishermen sponsored by commercial endorsements. Other competitions are ‘the longest fish wins’ type contests. These are used particularly when the rule is to catch and release the fish. The catch is photographed next to an acceptable rule of length and then set free.

In Europe, anglers tend to fish for species such as carp, pike, tench, rudd, roach perch and barbel.

Although some are pursued for their food value, most are fished for their fighting abilities and the ease with which they sometimes outwit the angler, as the fishermen relish the challenge of a tricky adversary.

Particularly in Europe and America, angling is rarely practiced as a food related sport. Anglers cite relaxation, being outdoors and family recreation as their prime motivations for fishing, as well as of course the peace and quiet and the enjoyment of spending the day by a beautiful waterway. Keen anglers also extol the fun of catching the fish, whether it is one, plenty or an especially large one, and the general challenge and adventure of the sport are what keeps them, and an estimated three million Britons, fishing.
