THE first weekend of April was full of drama in the VELUX 5 OCEANS as the fleet raced north through the South Atlantic. American skipper Brad Van Liew on Le Pingouin was brought to his knees after being hit in the back – by a huge flying fish. A second then ‘flew’ straight into his shoulder, leaving him battered and bruised. British skipper Chris Stanmore-Major faced a shortage of water on board Spartan. To keep weight down, CSM chose to take only 20 litres in his tanks but problems arose when his water maker was broken. After falling into the cockpit of Operon Racing, Polish skipper Zbigniew ‘Gutek’ Gutkowski feared he might have broken some ribs and was forced to rely on painkillers. Then the alternator broke. In a final blow the bowsprit broke, limiting the ability to fly spinnakers. On Active House, Canadian Derek Hatfield found one of his watertight compartments full with nearly 1,000 litres of water. The problem was a broken ballast tank line.

£million appeal CELIA Imrie, much-loved actress star of stage and screen launched a £1M public appeal for funds to create a new RNLI lifeboat station in Cowes. The leading British actress appeared in films and TV work such as Nanny McPhee, Acorn Antiques, Dinnerladies and Calendar Girls. Celia is patron of the Cowes appeal, which will lead to a greatly improved lifeboat station serving the Solent.

Celia who has a home on the island was escorted by lifeboat from the current station in Shepards Wharf marina to the new building – the old Custom House. Celia charmed the waiting crowd when she said: 'I'm absolutely thrilled to be here today, and wearing this crew kit. Obviously they don't have many people with chests because this is mighty tight!'

She told an audience of RNLI supporters, fundraisers and guests that she was delighted to be the patron of the Cowes Lifeboat Station Appeal. She went on to say: “The current station is a changing room, an office, a classroom, so they need this new station. All the crew are total volunteers and it is absolutely wonderful to think they are going to TURN TO PAGE 2

I am so in admiration

and am very proud to be the patron of this appeal.” The RNLI charity will refurbish the old Custom House building, near the mouth of the River Medina, to create a new, improved lifeboat station. This location will reduce the lifeboat launching time allowing the crew to reach casualties more quickly, which in turn could prove crucial in saving lives at sea.

First off on round Britain challenge THE first 40 sailors started the 2011 Sebago Round Britain and Ireland Challenge on March 27. They set off from the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy after travelling from all over the UK to take their place on the start line in soaring spring temperatures and with the stunning Jurassic coast as the backdrop. The RBIC provides opportunities for people from all walks of life to race round Great Britain and Ireland or join for a single leg. Crews from all over the UK trained over weekends from the WPNSA since February to prepare themselves for the 2,500 mile passage which is predicted to take 28 days to complete. The Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy has formed a new long term partnership with the RBIC supporting this latest yacht racing challenge by hosting training events and providing race management. It is the start and finish port. The challenge is now formally known as ‘the Sebago Round Britain and Ireland Challenge’ and this is the first in a series during 2011 that will take in nine stopovers.

VETERAN match-racer Sam Pearson from Poole came from behind to win the inaugural Royal Southern Academy Match Cup. Racing in SB3s took place in challenging conditions on the Solent last month and Sam’s was pitched against Andy Shaw, the current World Student Match Race Champion. The club's Academy is for young people aged 18-25 and includes Match Racing, and IRC, as well as offering special coaching sessions. The Academy charters the SB3s from Pelican Racing and places young people as crew on IRC boats. The Sailing Programme, running from September 2010 to July 2011 is aimed and devised for young people who live in the region and also those who go to a local university. Victorious Sam said: “Congratulations to the Royal Southern Race Team who did great work keeping everything going in the shifty conditions. Compared with other European countries, there’s a shortage of match racing in the UK.” The final marks the first Anniversary of the Royal Southern Academy. More match races are planned for later in the year. www.royal-southern.co.uk

Jeremy’s top award BOAT builder, Jeremy Rogers of Lymington has received the OCC Award of Merit – the highest award - from the Ocean Cruising Club.

Clothing lines will cater for a variety of watersports for youths and adults and from dinghy and keelboats to their new range for the Ocean racing.

Deadly figures MORE than 400 people in the UK died in water from accidents or natural causes in 2009 according to figures from the first report of a new incident database called WAID – the WAter Incident Database – developed by the National Water Safety Forum. The database was created to get greater detail about water - related deaths and injuries, and near misses. More than half of the 405 deaths were from incidents in inland waters including rivers, lakes, lochs, reservoirs, canals and ponds and 99 happened at the coast or in a harbour, dock, marina or port.

Sail and power to Plymouth

THE seventh annual Plymouth Sail and Power Show is set to take place on Saturday 7 to Sunday 8 May 2011. The 2010 Show was a huge success that attracted thousands of visitors to Queen Anne's Battery. They enjoyed an impressive event programme and a great range of products on display. The new-look 2011 Show will provide a superb showcase for new and used sailboats, sportsboats, jet skis and RIBs as well as equipment, clothing and accessories. It promises to be an even better event, with more exhibitors and nonstop entertainment and attractions for adults and children alike, including on and off water displays, demonstrations and competitions. Queen Anne’s Battery is in the centre of Plymouth with easy road

team will take place throughout the weekend along with a celebrity paddleboard challenge. RNLI Beach Lifeguards will also give life saving demonstrations with jet skis and rescue boards. The highlight of the show promises to be the Saturday night film which will be screened from the deck of the tug the Duke of Normandy. The silent film classic, Around Cape Horn, will be accompanied by live music from cellist, Gerard Le Feuvre. That will be followed by a fireworks display at 2110 hours. On the Sunday morning the Lt Governor will inspect the uniformed cadets before presenting the Governor’s Cup to the best turned out guard. Many boats will be open to the public including a variety of working vessels

and rail access, as well as to Plymouth International Airport, enabling visitors to get to the venue with ease. The marina’s position at the entrance to Plymouth Sound means there is open water right outside its front door; making the venue ideal for sea trials. Queen Anne’s Battery is renowned for hosting high profile international boating events such as the singlehanded Transatlantic Race and Round Britain Race. The event village itself provides a natural amphitheatre around the marina, providing an impressive landside area for exhibitions and a vantage point for spectators to watch what’s happening within the show’s marina basin. www.mdlmarinas.co.uk

such as The Duke of Normandy. The 26- foot vessel is more commonly seen supporting large craft into the marina or carrying out essential maintenance work round the Island. The show is organised by Jersey Marinas, a department of the States of Jersey as a showcase for the local maritime industry and an integral part of the Island’s tourism. It highlights the Port of Jersey as it continues to provide the Island’s lifeline. An estimated 30,000 visitors enjoyed the boat show last year which featured 78 exhibitors and more than 29 different brands of boats on water. During 2010 maritime visitors to Jersey were up eight per cent on 2009. More than over 23,000 yachtsmen arrived on 7,600 boats with an average stay of two and a quarter days.

Heroic heritage HMS Severn is a 79-metre River Class offshore patrol vessel which weighs 1,677 tonnes. She is the ninth Royal Naval vessel to bear the name. Her direct predecessor was a Vickers built submarine launched in 1934. Her wartime service started in the South Atlantic before transferring in 1940 for the Norwegian Campaign during which she sank the SS Monark, before deploying to Nova Scotia as convoy escort. The 'boat' was called the 'Lucky Severn' and the current Severn’s company hope to inherit their great fortune. www.jerseyboatshow.com

New 'island' near Needles A member of the Royal Southern’s posse plants the Club’s pennant

5 IT was one small step for man, one giant leap for yachtsmen. An intrepid group from the Hamble-based Royal Southern Yacht Club sought out new Solent territories resulting in them naming a newly found island ‘Southern Land’ as well as declaring it a bona fide annexe to the Yacht Club’s Hamble Riverside home. The expedition led by Mike ‘Pike’ Jones, Peter Delbridge and Tim Robinson benefited from a rare natural occurrence when they set out from the Hamble in three RIBs in search of new lands. The Shingles bank forms the Western edge of the Needles Channel off the Isle of Wight and has

been synonymous with navigational blunders over the years. Thanks to the lowest tide of the year and an ever-changing shingle bank low water revealed a truly impressive sight, rising out of the sea. A pennant was planted upon the highest point, in lunar-landing style. A feast was prepared ashore and a glass raised on a memorable evening. Plans are being put in place to make this an annual event, conditions allowing. The Royal Southern has a history of unusual antics at low tide including hosting the annual Brambles Bank Cricket Match with the Island Sailing Club in the middle of the Solent.

IT may seem strange for a newspaper with sea in its title reporting a story from the heart of the industrial Midlands but read on . . . While professional skippers charge around the world and, as you have read on page one, battle the elements and those violent flying fish, men and women prepare to row across oceans, or even from London around the world and back, South Staffordshire Sailing Club deserves a huge round of applause. We certainly approve of the RYA’s choice of club of the year for its sailing achievements. The club encourages people of all ages to try sailing. They are the future for all of us with an interest in the sea or any kind of water as a backdrop for leisure and pleasure. The club has built close links with

its local community through schools, the Scouts, Rotary, Round Table and other charitable organisations. What’s more they have embraced the environment challenge too. Clearly it’s a hive of voluntary and fun activity as witnessed by the fact that they have more instructors than they have facilities to teach. Well done South Staffs you set a shining, and challenging, example!

Ticking clock THANKS too to Celia Imrie for lending her considerable talent to help raise a million to bring the RNLI’s facilities in Cowes up to standard. It was a bold move for the RNLI to take over the old Custom House and the new station is ideally placed to get to the scene of incidents in what is one of the busiest stretches of water in the world on many a summer weekend – ask those ferry skippers about it! The clock monitoring the appeal

stands at ten past the hour. Celia is an island resident so has special reason to be its patron but so to do all of us who visit the home of yachting for racing or more leisurely water-based pursuits. Let’s keep that gauge turning.

New marina for Cowes Corinthian COWES Corinthian Yacht Club is celebrating the completion of a new 38-berth Marina in Cowes. The number of berths has increased from 29 to 38 and the new development offers a much bigger and more open launching basin to accommodate sailing events hosted by the club. Special attention was given to providing a shallower sloping access bridge with a non-slip surface connected to a new walkway pier to give easier and safer access for disabled sailors. Three hoist sockets on the pontoons have also been incorporated so that disabled sailors can be safely transferred in and out of boats. This hoist is being donated by Sailability. An additional new crane has also been provided as part of the scheme to improve boat launching; particularly for the disabled sailors. All the pontoons have a composite deck made from recycled material for low maintenance. The marina lighting has been installed with low energy LEDs and metered electricity and water is available for every berth.

Round the world teenagers unite for 80th Island Race

AAS0907 Pussers

Photo: Paul Wyeth

AUSTRALIAN teenage sailing supremo Jessica Watson, will crew alongside Britain’s Michael Perham, 19, on a Bavaria 37 Cold Play, skippered by Phil Baughen in this year’s J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race. Jessica who celebrates her 18th birthday in May has recently announced that she is to skipper a boat with the youngest crew to enter the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race on Boxing Day, a crew that includes Mike Perham 19. Race organisers at the Island Sailing Club are looking forward to welcoming them to Cowes and to watching their progress on June 25. Other entrants include Tonbridge School with a trio of Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43s crewed by Old Tonbridgians on Tonbridge Forrader, current students on Tonbridge Sparkling Spirit and parents who are racing Tonbridge Vantage. First timer Jamie Clark who owns Artisan, a 1970-built Jaguar 22 said: “Small boat, novice crew and hopefully not disgracing ourselves by coming last!” Jamie is a farmer from Oxfordshire and he’s sailing with his son Sam and his friend Jonathan Nash. Entered as a Classic Racing Yacht racing under ISCRS is Camellia of Rhu, also competing in her first Round the Island Race. She’s an eight metre McGruers

International cruiser racer, owned and skippered by Bryan Robinson from Rye in East Sussex. She was built in 1959. The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is the official race charity in 2011 and 2012 and entries will support the work of the Trust. John Donaldson and his crew on Ghost, a Mirage 28 Mk II, are raising money for the EMCT in their first Round the Island Race. Thomas Thistlethwayte has chartered a Laser SB3 named KingsofEngland and is entering his first Round the Island Race with his son and some of his son's friends who are all new to yacht racing. Another SB3 is Heart of Gold driven by Natalie Jobling who is a Trustee and Director of the Weymouth & Portland Sailing Academy and 2012 sailing venue. She is a former national champion crew in the Firefly class and her crew is husband Tom Hayhoe. There are also the sail training boats entered such as Beyond Reality, a Baltic 37, owned and skippered by Les Rant from Great Staughton in Cambridgeshire. He will use her voyage from the East Coast down to Cowes to train an inexperienced crew who will then crew for the race. John Howieson is skippering the Montague Whaler Westerman, built in 1965. She’s owned by Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust and was built by dockyard apprentices at Devonport. All the crew are also volunteers with the Trust.

Last year’s Gold Roman Bowl winner, the Nordic Folkboat Nordic Bear, owned and skippered by Brian Appleyard, is back to defend her title. Ed Donald racing his Nordic Folkboat Madelaine, irst entered 30 years ago and won twice, in 1999 and 2007. Brett Dingwall has returned to sailing after suffering from Leukaemia four years ago. Brett, from Bricket Wood in Hertfordshire will sail in on an Omega 34, PROMISES, and then go on to compete in the Flying Fifteen World Championships hosted by Hayling Island SC in July.

David Annakin from Macclesfield in Cheshire is skippering 4 Play, an Etap 20 built in 1985. He rescued the boat from a neighbour’s garden after 20 years and has restored and updated her. He reckons 4 Play must be the smallest boat in this year’s fleet. The key to this will be whether another smaller boat meets the stability factor as per item 4.3 in the Notice of Race The race is fourth largest participation sporting event in the UK. Around 1,700 boats and 16,000 sailors follow. Standard entries close on 28th May. www.roundtheisland.org.uk

Sculling lessons improve safety PLEASURE-boaters are being given sculling lessons to increase safety when manoeuvring dinghies in crowded harbours. Steve Bassett, harbourmaster at St Ives, Cornwall, said that sculling -using a single oar placed in a notch in the stern – was once an essential boating skill now largely forgotten now most dinghies have outboard motors. Now the harbour authority is encouraging water-users to learn to scull and is sponsoring classes which are being attended by up to 30 enthusiasts. "Sculling is ideal for manoeuvring between boats when there's not enough room to row," Steve Bassett said. "You can also see where you are going. I am increasingly alarmed by the strange paddling methods in current use. Sculling is surprisingly easy to learn and leads to safer boat-handling."

Outer harbour project is still top priority

NEWS IN BRIEF Still looking lively LIVELY Lady, a 36-foot yawl built more than 60 years ago, is back on the water after more than two years. The sailing Charity Around and Around has been given custody of the vessel for 25 years by owners, Portsmouth City Council and is preparing to sail her this summer before a major overhaul and refit. The boat, which shot to fame in 1968 when greengrocer Alex Rose sailed her round the globe from Portsmouth with just a single stop in Australia.

Zones progress THE Marine Conservation Zone Project has published its third set of progress reports. The zones, covering more than 240,000 square kilometres in English territorial waters, aim to conserve areas of the sea protecting rare, threatened habitats and species. www.mczmapping.org THE outer harbour project for a new marina on the eastern side of Cowes depends on issues outside their direct control, according to harbour commissioners. But the commission says the project remains its number one priority. The commission says the South East England Development Agency

plans to complete development agreements with the Isle of Wight Council and start infrastructure improvement works such as upgrading access roads and parking. The completion of these agreements will trigger the issue of full planning consent. CHC and SEEDA await government decisions on funding

for important regional economic development projects including the Outer Harbour Plan. The Outer Harbour Project seeks to support the regeneration of East Cowes and to make Cowes a true harbour, providing additional protection, improving navigational safety, increasing the usability and long term potential of the outer

harbour area. The project has been the result of a partnership between the SEEDA and Cowes Harbour Commission. It has three main components: a system of wave protection including a new fixed Outer Breakwater and a short extension to the Shrape Breakwater, a new eastern channel for leisure craft and a new marina.

Clean sweep THE world’s first hand-held power barnacle remover, the Waveblade, has made its debut. It can be used on GRP, steel and wooden hulls, concrete and steel structures and propellers and drives. info@wavecraftuk.com

Pandora will rise from the ashes

ONE of Cornwall's most famous sailors’ pubs, the 13th century Pandora Inn, on the waterside at Restronguet Passage on the Fal near Falmouth, left a ruin after fire ripped through its thatched roof last month, is to be rebuilt and returned to its former glory, say the owners, St Austell Brewery. No one was injured when the fire, thought to have started in a chimney, gutted the pub -with its own moorings and pontoons, a favourite watering hole for generations of pleasure-sailors. “Boat-owners from all over the world have been contacting us with support,” said brewery managing director James Staughton, “The pub is part of Cornish maritime history.” The pub became the Pandora in 1791 in memory of the Royal Navy Ship sent to Tahiti to capture the mutineers of Captain Bligh's Bounty and lost on the Great Barrier Reef. Now a charred shell, rebuilding the pub will cost at least £1 million.

Swapping race days for charity WELL, spring is most definitely here and the Hamble river and Solent are filling up with boats nicely. Due to some lingering health problems from last year’s boating incident I have decided to just watch the race season start,so with no race team to run and no sponsors to answer to (which is quite refreshing to be honest) I am pimping myself out to my charities! That is great because usually I have to say no to so many events. The charities I support, and have done for several years, are Hampshire Autistic Society for which I am doing a

RYA club of the year SOUTH Staffordshire Sailing Club’s constitution simply states ‘Our objective is to encourage the sport of dinghy sailing and racing in South Staffordshire’. The success of the club in fulfilling, and arguably surpassing, its understated ambition was recognised last month when South Staffs SC was named the 2011 RYA Club of the Year at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show. The club of the year award was launched in 2007 to recognise and promote the outstanding achievements of the amazing array of people who work together, often in an entirely voluntarily capacity, to create the vibrant clubs that underpin the sport of sailing in the UK. It celebrates clubs which excel at promoting sailing, encouraging people on to the water and in making their activities varied and accessible to their local community. South Staffs SC certainly fits that bill and with membership remaining steady around the 400 mark at a time when many clubs have struggled to attract new members or retain existing ones, the Gailey Reservoirbased club is an inspiration for clubs nationwide.

Bucklers Hard B O A T

Y A R D

S E R V I C E S

Not that they are resting on their laurels for a second as Neil Hawkins, Club Commodore, explained: “Now we hope the added publicity from winning the RYA Club of the Year Award will help us attract even more potential new members and families to the club so we can keep growing and stay vibrant.” Registered as a Community Amateur Sports Club, South Staffs has a membership policy that is totally non-discriminatory, regardless of age, gender, disability, means or background. The club has well-established links with the local community. Having received its RYA OnBoard status in 2010, South Staffs is looking to continue building, and formalising, relationships with local education providers and youth groups to offer even more opportunities for local kids, and their mums and dads, to get a taste for the sport. Around 40 youngsters attend the club’s junior novice and improver training sessions on Sunday mornings, while annual ‘Try sailing for free’ open days have traditionally seen around 100 newcomers venture through their gates.

Through its position as an RYA Volvo Champion Club, South Staffs is recognised as having a commitment to youth racing and race coaching. There are no fewer than ten South Staffs SC youngsters in RYA West Zone squads and one, Sarah Norbury, the 2010 RYA West Midlands Young Sailor of the Year and reigning Ladies National Optimist Champion, in the RYA National Junior Squad. The club also received a Volvo Eco Challenge Award of £2,500 to help devise a project to reduce invasive weed in an environmentally friendly way. All of this activity is underpinned by no fewer than 43 instructors and coaches, the bulk of whom are volunteers, trained by the club to

support its growth. Neil added: “Entering the RYA Club of the Year Award is a means of recognising the work of all those people who put in so many hours and so much effort into running all our activities. It is also helps us make sure we are ticking all the boxes the RYA want ticked for clubs, which in turn helps us attract funding from external partners and sources." As the 2011 RYA Club of the Year, South Staffs SC is now set to be put forward for next year’s Sport and Recreation Alliance Sports Club of the Year Awards. “As a club we decided any award recognition would be invested back into the club” said Neil. “We currently have more

instructors, assistant instructors and coaches than we have facilities to teach!” Jackie Bennetts, RYA Club of the Year Awards Co-ordinator, said: “The first impression clubs give prospective members is pivotal in their decision whether to take up the sport on a regular basis. “It is an excellent, vibrant, forward thinking club that really excels at what it sets out to do.” Clubs will be invited to apply again in September for RYA Club of the Year 2012. www.rya.org.uk/go/cluboftheyear

A BVI stamp of approval Geoff Holt

unassisted trans-Atlantic crossing last year, specifically Cane Garden Bay, the very beach where my life changed after diving into its shallow waters and breaking my neck in 1984. My arrival on Impossible Dream in January 2010, and the ensuing publicity it generated, resulted in being awarded “Honorary Belongership”, in effect, citizenship of the Territory, a privilege previously awarded only once before, and that was to Lawrence Rockerfeller. In February 2011, a year after completing my Atlantic crossing, I was invited back to the BVI by their government to attend the launch of a new set of stamps to recognise the work of Sailability in the Virgin Islands. Of the set of six new stamps, they have included me on three of them, in recognition of that Atlantic crossing.

To be honest, I thought you had to be dead to appear on stamps but it is another great honour afforded me by their government for which I’m extremely proud. The ceremony itself was quite some event, coincidentally held on my birthday, with His Excellency, BVI Governor Boyd McCleary, Premiere Ralph O’Neale, Deputy Premiere Dancia Penn QC and Postmaster General Kevin Smith, all there to do the “honours” on the dock at the BVI Sailability centre. Turquoise seas, blue skies, disabled kids sailing in the bay. It was a perfect day. Anyone wishing to obtain a set of BVI Sailability First Day Covers can do so through the BVI Post Office. www.finance.gov.vg/postoffice.php Follow me on Twitter @wetwheels

ALISON Knights-Bramble has perhaps the most enviable RYA Senior Instructor’s job in the world. The British Virgin Islands Watersports and Activities Centre which she has been running for the past five years with husband Colin is located in Sea Cows Bay, Tortola in the stunningly beautiful islands. Perhaps what makes the BVI Watersports Centre stand out from its British RYA Training Centre counterparts, more than just its yearround perfect climate, is the emphasis on total inclusion, regardless of Alison Bramble in RIB with disabled sailor in Pico ability. Whereas in the UK, many disabled sailing groups exist as a separate entity alongside a host training centre or sailing club, Alison built her centre around total inclusion from the outset. “I don’t even like the term integration,” said Alison, the passion evident in her voice. “The word implies two different groups. I don’t see able bodied sailors and disabled sailors. I see sailors. And as in all walks of life, some go on to show talent and we work to develop those skills, others are happy just to be out on the water.” Life-opportunities for many disabled children and adults in the BVI are limited but sport, in particular sailing, has seen participants flourish. Their selfconfidence and skills develop to levels not previously thought possible. “Not only do our disabled students benefit from our programme, but so too do all the students, plus their relatives and the community as a whole. Our sailors have all forged great relationships which extend beyond the gates of the Centre” explains Alison. www.bviwatersportscentres.com

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

MANY people know that I have an affinity with the British Virgin Islands. It was there, 26 years ago, whilst working on a charter yacht, that I had the accident which paralysed me and put me in a wheelchair. I’ve returned many times, not bearing grudges, but simply to enjoy the beauty of the islands. In my opinion, they are the most perfect cruising grounds in the world. So Tortola was the obvious choice of landfall after my 3,000 mile, four-week

Preparation is a key task Sticky’s tips By Sticky Stapylton

IT was March 17 and we were moored in the Bayona Yacht Club marina in North West Spain having arrived the previous evening after a four and a half day crossing of the Bay of Biscay. We were lucky with the weather and despite a short session of strong winds – my crew claimed f8 gusting to f9 – we were blessed with northerly winds, f5-6, most of the way across. If the forecasts had been bad, we would have headed out to 10° west and then headed south to avoid the seriously shallowing Atlantic shelf – from a depth of 5,000m to 200m in 30 miles. Despite all this we had a very confused sea off Cape Finisterre and at times the wind added to the confusion by changing direction

quickly and for no apparent reason. We are sailing a Jeanneau 45 DS from UK to Turkey. I am most impressed with the boat’s sailing capabilities. She is fast and comfortable, averaging well over six knots for the whole trip so far of 1,019 miles. The major lesson I have learnt from this trip is you must not have too rigid a schedule for commissioning but leave plenty of buffer time. A number of jobs requested by the owners were not completed and some not as satisfactorily as the owners wanted. In retrospect we should have allowed double the time for commissioning and shake down passages and this should all have been carried out in the area where the boat was launched. For a number of reasons we set sail from the east coast and spent ten days in the Solent and this gave us the chance to get everything as right as we could. What made the preparation easier

Bacon butties and J class yachts UP to nine J class yachts will be racing round the Isle of Wight on 21 July 2012 in a re-enactment of the 100 Guinea cup raced in 1851. I am chartering a 700ton vessel which will carry 300 passengers from which we can watch the race. I will be providing bacon butties, a slap up lunch and afternoon tea. There will be a bar. Email if you would like to learn more. instructor@sail-help.co.uk / www.sail-help.co.uk

was the crew who were prepared to give their time and skills to help out. Like all new boats, there is always something to be done to improve the way it is sailed and we are learning lessons every day to make the set up more efficient. What is also gratifying is the way all who come on board are prepared to help us out. That is usually the way with sailors.

Quick changes Silly little things niggle. A few years back I had to buoy and let go my anchor and chain when I was being set back on to a lee shore 500m away in a f6. That is another story, at the time I had a line round my propeller and the French lifeboat service was coming out to tow me into Cartaret on the west side of the Cotentin peninsula. Luckily I had my anchor chain secured to a padeye in the chain locker with a good long lanyard which, in this emergency was slashed with a stroke of the bread knife. Look at the photo of how this Jeanneau was set up with an electrical cable tie to hold 70 metres of chain and a 22 kg anchor. Would you be happy with this? The second photo (inset) shows what we did to strengthen the system.

BEING caught out in a storm is every sailor’s worst nightmare. Doubts and fears are hard to banish when a boat is being battered by the elements. Will the helmsman cope with the huge waves piling up behind? Can the rigging take the strain? Should you weather the storm or run for shelter? A storm needn’t end in disaster, and being prepared for bad weather is the best way to ensure that. How to Cope with Storms is packed with practical advice to help sailors cope, explaining how storms develop, how to avoid them, and survival tactics if they can’t be avoided. It also includes information on design features for heavy weather, handling crew, what to do in emergencies, and much more. Dietrich von Haeften has been sailing for over 30 years. He lectured and taught sailing at the Academy in Blankenesse and then subsequently ran a sailing school. He is now self-employed and spends his time sailing and writing sailing books.

THE Reed’s VHF DSC Handbook is a user-friendly guide that gets marine VHF radio users quickly up to speed with both the analogue and digital functions on the radio. Sue Fletcher’s straightforward explanations and tips describe the leisure craft VHF DSC radio system in detail and its place within GMDSS. Since it was first published it has become the standard work on the subject. Updated to take into account new developments and procedures it provides: • all the information required to pass the Short Range Certificate (SRC) • radio procedure, channel allocation, VHF radio theory and more

• a full explanation of GMDSS, including details on EPIRBs, SARTs and Navtex The rescue authorities and commercial maritime world now rely almost entirely on DSC for initial contact, so if you need help and want to be heard, a marine VHF DSC radio is essential. Sue Fletcher is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation, nautical author and Principal of Chichester Maritime, an RYA training centre. She was invited by the MSA to assist in the specification for leisure craft radio and procedures.

NEWS IN BRIEF Tug of war THE Hastings RNLI lifeboat and its volunteer crew launched on 31 March following a distress call from a 105-year-old converted tug, which had suffered an engine breakdown. The 18m vessel, with three people on board, was taken under tow to Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne following a long slow tow, due to the size of the vessel and the weather conditions. The lifeboat was back on the beach at Hastings after seven hours at sea. The historic former ice-breaking tug saw action in the Baltic in the Second World War and was used to help Jewish refugees escape from the port of Rostock before being captured and used as a Nazi patrol boat.

Torpedo danger THE RNLI Peterhead Tamar lifeboat launched on 30 March to help the Forces Explosive Ordinance Disposal team remove an old torpedo from Peterhead fish market. The torpedo, which was taken several miles offshore to be detonated, had been offloaded from a fishing boat after having been caught in its nets. The all-weather lifeboat was launched to provide safety cover and keep craft away.

Dressing for the beach THIS month sees the launch of a new clothing range from the RNLI Shop and coastal fashion brand Seasalt. RNLI Shop focuses on nautical and coastally inspired products to reflect the charity’s long standing links with coastal communities across the UK and Ireland and the new Seasalt clothing range echoes the ethos of the RNLI’s important life saving work. Working in partnership with Seasalt, RNLI Shop has developed a range of T-shirts and hoodies for men, women and children, all made from 100 per cent organic cotton. Prices start at £15 for children and £18 for adults. RNLI Shop is the institution’s trading arm that raises money through an online shop, a mail order catalogue and retail shops. With 100 per cent of the profit going back to saving lives at sea. And money does matter – in 2009 it cost £147.7M to run the lifesaving charity.

SOUTHSEA has a village atmosphere with the surrounding area offering distinctly different shopping from a mix of quality retailers and independent traders with eateries offering a wide range of international cuisines. SOUTHSEA Marina sits on the threshold of the Solent. It is a place where boat enthusiasts relax, enjoying its special camaraderie. Nestling alongside Portsmouth, head round Eastney Peninsula and within 15 minutes, you are in the Solent, ready for day trips to the Isle of Wight or further afield. Alternatively explore the sheltered delights of Langstone Harbour. The excellently equipped marina has first-class facilities with a fully serviced boatyard to handle all your

needs. There are CCTV cameras and guard patrols, on-site bar and restaurant, modern toilet and shower block, and 24-hour diesel and petrol. The approach to Langstone Harbour is easy in most weather conditions, but best from High Water –3 to +1 hour. The entrance channel lies between the East and West Winner drying banks, which offer some protection. Once close to the Fairway Beacon, approximately one mile to the South of the harbour entrance, in line with

a conspicuous chimney, steer 344º to just clear East Winner. The entrance itself deepens and favours the West side. The harbour speed limit is 10 knots and 5 knots in the marina approach channel. Contact the marina on VHF channel 80, call sign “Southsea Marina” when you are approaching the marina channel to be given your berthing instructions. The entrance to the Southsea Marina Channel is just past the Hayling Ferry pontoon. Seven starboard hand and nine port hand markers mark the approach channel, the first of which are lit piles. Of the remaining eight port hand markers, the 4th, 6th and 9th are all lit. None of the starboard hand

markers – made up of two buoys and a further three piles – are lit. The Western waiting pontoon is marked with a starboard hand light. The marina channel is dredged to 0.5m below chart datum, although this can vary and vessels with a draft of 1.5m or more should exercise caution when approaching at LW –2 to +2 hours. Craft enter the marina via an automatic cill gate that rises and falls according to the action of the tides. This gives approximately 6 hours of access per tidal cycle. Please be aware the red and green lights at the marina entrance show if the cill gate is up or down. They are not used to control traffic. Red light – cill gate up. No access.

Green light – cill gate down. Access allowed, but check the gauge outside the marina to ensure that there is enough depth. The cill gate uses the laws of buoyancy. When the water outside the marina is level with the top of the cill gate, the weights connected to the gate and the cill gate itself are balanced. When the sea level rises, the weights become (relatively) lighter allowing the cill gate to lower. This continues until it eventually lies flat. At this point there is 1.6m depth of water over the cill gate and a green light will be displayed. As the tide goes out the gate rises because the weights attached to it become (relatively) heavier. The automatic cill gate ensures

water depth in the marina stays at 2.4 metres for the deeper berths, dropping to 1.3 metres around the edge of the marina for vessels with a shallower draft. When entering the marina, the vessel travelling with the tide takes priority. Cill gate times are always approximate and can be affected by weather conditions and air pressure. There is an outer waiting pontoon adjacent to the marina entrance for vessels waiting to enter the marina if the cill gate is up, or there is insufficient water. Marina staff are happy to move boats permanently berthed in the marina to or from the waiting pontoon free of charge, Monday to Friday (with 24 hours notice). Before entering the marina channel, please use VHF channel 80, call sign Southsea Marina, for berthing instructions, or call 023 9282 2719. After berthing, go to reception.

DUG out of the old Glory Hole on the Eastney peninsular, adjacent to Eastney Lake in Langstone Harbour, this Marina was the brain child of Ed Leask. Ed, supported by the locals who bought shares in the company to establish a marina for local sailors. It was this ethos that has led, largely, to its success. Premier took over from Malcolm Hill, a local businessman keen on sailing and the environment. Premier under the leadership of their cheeky, cheerful manager, Rupert Bremer, have kept to these principles. The run up to the marina, although well marked in the daytime, needs forward planning if approached at night. Always take careful note of its depth at low water. Allow about one-and-a-half hours rise of tide and you should make the holding pontoon safely with a 1.5m draught. The marina has a cill which is open about one-and-a-half hours each side of high water. Although this could be seen as a

disadvantage, the outside holding pontoon makes it easy to arrive early or late and moor up in safety. The helpful marina yardies, ruled by the ever cheerful Matt, will take your boat into the marina if you are pushed for time on a Sunday night! We have Scot Doble of 1Degree West as the resident engineer. He is a helpful Kiwi and, understanding his clients’ financial constraints, his statements are invariably late. We also are lucky to have John Shaw of JWS Marine who will always take care of your osmosis, knocks and rebuilds. Andy Primmett in the white van will quickly erase those embarrassing scratches. I learnt to sail at the local Locks SC, just across the water from the marina with its excellent dinghy racing record. Locks members have represented the country in the Olympics, the America’s Cup, been World, European and National Champions, raced around Britain (the two handed one) and done the obligatory transatlantic routes. Its members naturally migrate to Premier when they buy the ‘big’ boat. The club also has drinks at very competitive prices!

The area is also well served by the nearby friendly Eastney Cruising Association with its bar and good food. Wednesday night racing followed by their famous curry is obligatory! There is a reasonable bus service which will take you to Gunwarf, Spinnaker Tower and the historic Naval Dockyard. A local Spar grocer is well stocked with wine, papers and a good selection of groceries. A larger Co-op is about 20 minutes walk or five minutes by bus and the excellent, helpful Chris Hornsey Chandlery is just opposite. The cruising area is easy with Chichester, Portsmouth and Bembridge harbours an easy sail away. Cowes, the Hamble and the Western approaches of the Solent are readily accessible. To be central to such a delightful cruising area is a real privilege. After a hard day on the water we have the choice of two top class restaurants in the marina itself, The Bombay Bay and a recently opened Thai restaurant. This marina is a real delight tucked up safely in the SW corner of the still unspoiled Langstone Harbour.

Dry berthing at Southsea The marina is introducing a new dry berthing service for boats up to 9.5m. Storing your boat out of the water prevents the build up of marine growth on the hull and greatly reduces the risk of osmosis meaning improved performance, reduced fuel consumption and lower maintenance costs. As part of Premier’s dry berthing service, customers can phone ahead

for their yacht, RIB, or motorboat to be put in the water, with just four hours notice during normal working hours. Boat owners can leave their boat on the waiting pontoon to be lifted ashore, washed off and stored. Rupert Bremer, Southsea Marina Manager told us: “We’re excited about this new service. Dry berthing is a great alternative to towing and launching, it gives you instant and

hassle free access to your boat, and we’ll even take care of the difficult bits.” Southsea’s dry berthing service is available now and includes unlimited launches and recoveries during the summer months, April to September. Contact Rupert Bremer on 023 9282 2719, email southsea@ premiermarinas.com or call into the marina office.

Hidden treasure How nice would it be to cut back the bushes in your overgrown garden and find a nautical treasure just waiting for some TLC? Simon Everett takes a look at a classic 1930s sailing canoe . . . WE all dream about finding a treasure at the bottom of the garden, or coming across a used bargain that warrants a place on the Antiques Road Show. Well the story behind this 1930s sailing canoe fits both of those visions. It was found at the bottom of a garden, in very good condition (considering the length of time it had lain there) and was then given to the present owner to restore for his own use.

An adventurous heritage The story behind this boat is unusually well documented, as the finder was none other than the grandson of the original owner. The canoe was built in 1930 by George Seyler, a well-known boat builder with his yard right on the riverbank at Le Perreux sur Marne. He built various types of picnic boat for river cruising, one of which was this Neptune class sailing canoe. It was a very popular model in the 1930s and George built quite a few of them for wealthy Parisians who came to the country for relaxing weekends. He offered storage in his boathouse at the yard and put them in the water on request - essentially running an early ‘Park and Ride’ scheme. By and large, these boats were used for picnic trips down the river, but this canoe was destined for far bigger adventures than that. She was built for a merchant navy captain, who took her all over the world on the deck of his ship and explored the waters around the ports he visited. These excursions were pretty exotic for the time - North and West Africa, Canada, the near East and the Malaysian Peninsular were all waters that saw the captain visit in this little

boat. In fact, he even named her after one of the little villages he visited in Nigeria - ‘Le El Oued II’. You can imagine him letting go, with a basket of supplies and some goatskin bags of water, possibly a few bottles of wine and some cheese wrapped in muslin. The sail would have taken him quickly along the coast and then he could furl the rig and paddle gently up the creeks, lagoons and through the mangroves, while the ship’s cargo was unloaded under the charge of his chief officer and second mate. The diaries he kept, which were found in the house, gave an insight into this very lifestyle. The captain eventually laid the boat up when he became too frail to sail her any more. She was put upside-down on some wooden blocks with the sail rig rolled up inside. There she stayed for over a quarter of a century, until last year, when his grandson, who inherited the house, found her while clearing the garden. He had no idea of the boat’s existence, until he spotted her cedar hull peeking through the undergrowth.

The repair work The new owner is named Jacques Dauteuille. As a keen boater and a friend of the captain’s grandson, it was only fitting that he should take on the mantle of getting this glorious old boat back on the water - and in the event, the work required was relatively simple. She was in very good overall condition. The red cedar hull was intact but the varnish had peeled. The ash ribs were all still held in place by their copper nails. One seat was very damaged but the other was still complete, with just one batten broken. The paddles and sail rig were also

Can you buy a new one? Though you might not imagine that this is a very prolific boating niche, there are in fact plenty of options for new model sailing canoes. Even craft from the more mainstream producers, like Old Town Canoes, can be fitted with sails in the same way as this old classic. For the complete rig, prices would go from about £1,500 up to about £3,000.

complete. The sail itself was rotten and holed, but enough remained to use it as a pattern to make a new one, true to the original. There was also the seat batten to make and a few loose fasteners to replace, but generally the entire boat (although dirty and rough around the edges) was sound. The brass fittings needed cleaning up, the woodwork was rubbed down and allowed to dry out before being varnished to seal the timber and bring out the colours and grain of the wood. A new sail was sewn and the spars cleaned and re-rigged. And now, finally, having languished in the undergrowth since her owner laid her up some 25 years ago, she has been restored to pristine condition and is a boat that anyone would be proud to own and use.

Surprising practicality Not only is the canoe pretty, but she is also eminently practical. Being built of red cedar, she is extremely light and very easy to handle off the water. Meanwhile, the elegant bamboo stripping on the chines provides both protection for the hull and extra grip on the water. And happily, the overall shape remains very true to the original Canadian canoes that we think of as the quintessential form for this boat type. Through his research, Jacques discovered that the native American Indians also used sails on their canoes for traversing the Great Lakes and the rivers of Canada. Various pictures of canoes carrying triangular sails have been found in ancient manuscripts and even in rock art drawings, dating back centuries. The exact sail rig cannot be recognised from these pictures, but they leave us in no doubt that sails were a traditional feature of these craft. It begs a couple of questions. With a tradition for sails on canoes deeply

rooted in North American culture, did the design of the Neptune by George Seylor come back from the French connections with Canada? Or did the exploits of John Macgregor and his Rob Roy sailing canoe rub off as he wended his way south through France to the Mediterranean? Maybe it was a bit of both, but one thing is certain - Jacques Dauteuille’s little Neptune looks timeless on the clear waters of the Lac du Bourget, where she was launched for the first time after her revival.

Life begins afresh . . . Once more, ‘Le El Oued II’ will explore the backwaters of the French waterways and lakes. Her new owner also intends to take her on coastal explorations when the weather permits, just as the old captain did. Having waited so long for a fresh lease of life, she has found a very suitable partner in Jacques Dauteuille to keep the story going. May the sun be always in the sky and the wind be always on his back . . .

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

Just for kids

Exploring at sea DID you know that almost 70 per cent of the Earth is water? Now that’s a lot of sea to explore . . . and to get lost in! When you’re out on the water it’s important to plan a route and to know what to expect along the way. To do this you will need to use a chart, which is really just a map of the sea! Charts can look a bit confusing at first but they’re full of really useful information, so we’ve put together a mini guide to help you understand some of the things you’ll see on charts…..and to impress your friends with!

What does it all mean? First, the different colours on a chart tell you what sort of water you’re sailing in and what tides to expect. On most charts the colours are: Yellow – for the land Green – when there is a high tide this bit will be covered in water, but at a low tide it will be land Blue – here the water will be between 0-2 metres deep White – this bit of the chart tells you that the water is more than 2 metres deep Your charts will also have numbers scattered all over them, these are known as soundings and show you just how deep the water is in metres. These numbers also tell you what the lowest possible tide could be and is known as chart datum. Some of the numbers have lines underneath

them. These numbers show you how high the land at this spot is above chart datum, this is known as drying heights. On your chart you will also see a compass which will show you which direction to travel in. A compass is split into degrees – 360 in total, with North being 0, East 90, South 180 and West 270, but its’ worth remembering that the magnetic North is always a few degrees different to the true North, but your compass will show you the difference. You will also find lots of signs and symbols on a chart – ship wrecks, beacons, swamps, places to anchor and more, all of which are there to help you on your way. Your chart will also mark buoys, which are those things that you see floating around in the water. They are

New tastes on Malts Cruise In the drink By Paul Antrobus

OBAN is the starting point of the new-look Scottish Malts Cruise from 5 to 21 July. It returns after a one-year break to make way for the Clyde Cruising Club’s centenary rally last year. The cruise is now fully a World Cruising Club event – the ARC people – with new shore-side entertainment and a fleet anchoring itinerary built into the established loose cruising-incompany format. This is one of the best ways to cruise the Western Isles and get some tutored malt whisky tasting. Sponsored by the Classic Malts brands, it

includes Oban and Lagavulin distillery tours plus a ‘Roving Nose’ – a master distiller who will join the flotilla to give on-board or on the beach tutored tastings in some of the scheduled anchorages. Plus, also new this year, there will be visits to Tobermoray and Jura distilleries. There is now a limit of 50 boats so that the shore events can be accommodated in existing local facilities and the anchoring meets can remain peaceful and safe. It’s selling out fast – so hurry. Oban is the mainland’s ‘gateway to the Western Isles’ on the train line from Inverness or with a scenic drive to get there. The Ferry Terminal is the ‘gateway’ to all the Islands. The Oban distillery is right in the centre of the town, a sailor’s landmark and tourist attraction. The whisky is robust but gentle, an excellent

on-board malt, its character influenced by the sea air, soft with a distinctive honey ‘nose’. The main product is a fine ten-year-old and there is a very smooth Distillers Edition too. The last cruise rendezvous is at Lagavulin, on the Isle of Islay, home to several peaty malts. This is an enchanting anchorage and a challenge to get into. You line up on the distillery name sign to miss the rocks as you go in. The whisky is also challenging and very different from Oban. Lagavulin 16-year-old is an enthusiast’s dream, very peaty, full of seaweed smells and flavours hugely influenced having matured right there in the wild Atlantic sea air. Dark, so full of smoky flavour some people think it is not even Scotch. But it is. Take it with lots of water and with lobsters and crabs!

AAS0907 Pussers

Heads up on Antigua HERE’S a quick bars status check for this year’s Antigua Weekers from 24 to 29 April. In the dockyard: Cap’n Bar – by the windlasses and stern-to moorings. Burgers and fish, friendly crew bar and local habitués. Good views, good value. Copper & Lumber store – historic, atmospheric, small outside patio but best for inside drinking in the shade. Home-made rum punch on the bar in a large orange plastic barrel may look industrial but is the best rum punch in town. On Falmouth Harbour: The Mad Mongoose main crew bar looking over Falmouth bay has beers, rum punches and good-value pub type tucker. A fun place with a popular pool room. Antigua Yacht Club over-looking its marina is a friendly haunt for international crews and good fun with good pub food and sport on TVs. There are more bars on the marina dock itself.
