CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The Royal Southern Yacht Club member was driving the craft designed for Italian Renato Del Valle in 1974. The veteran craft showed a clean stern to a much younger fleet to repeat the success it had on two occasions more than 30 years ago.

But victory was not achieved without cleaver tactics on the part of the driver.

By Torquay, marking the halfway stage, Cinzano had crept up and was dicing with Powerboat Asia to become a contest of its own. They raced back to the Solent several miles ahead of the remaining fleet which had been reduced

from the original 17 starters to ten.

Among the retirements was the earlier hopeful Argentum, a new 36-foot twin Ilmore powered Cougar RIB driven by ex multi-world offshore champion, Steve Curtis. Claimed to be capable of speeds in excess of 90mph, it lay a disappointing fourth at the quarter mark before suffering mechanical problems.

The leading pair lay less than ten seconds apart as they shot passed Hurst Castle six miles from the finish before Cinzano and Hendricks took the finishing flag a few minutes later.

EXPLORE all that’s great about life on and off the water with the PSP Southampton Boat Show and All At Sea. From 16 – 25 September 2011, the UK’s leading outdoor boat show returns to Mayflower Park, bringing hundreds of exhibitors, yachts, motorboats and dinghies to the south coast along with lots of fun charter holidays and training courses - and you could be there.

All At Sea has five pairs of tickets to give away for the ten-day Show, which is set on one of Europe’s largest purpose built marinas.

The PSP Southampton Boat Show offers ample opportunity for anyone looking to indulge in the marine lifestyle – from live cookery demonstrations, expert clinics to

in the rough conditions, leading event organisers to make the decision to curtail the planned two laps of the course.

Popular local racer and All at Sea columnist Shelley Jory-Leigh and navigator Dan Smith of Southampton made a welcome return to the podium in second place for the first time since Shelley’s comeback from a careerthreatening injury.

“For once, probably my sensibility of being a little bit cautious in the rough – and still a little bit scared of the racing – probably got us through in one piece,” said Shelley.

Sponsors celebrate ‘vintage’ Cowes

COWES Week 2011 will be remembered as one of the liveliest and most spectacular regattas of recent years.

Blessed by superb racing conditions, which also made for some great spectating, the 2011 edition of the world’s best-known sailing regatta has been described as a vintage year and a great way to celebrate the first year of the new title sponsor - Aberdeen Asset Management During a week in which the wind speed regularly exceeded 20 knots, with gusts above 30 knots there were, at times, testing condition but competitors embraced the challenge.

In addition to the competition on the water, Cowes hosted a broad mix of onshore entertainment.

The Red Arrows performed on the first Saturday of the regatta and the event’s

first-ever Family Day on Sunday 7 August was heralded a great success.

The Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority attracted crowds to have their photos taken with falcons, names written in Arabic, and henna tattoos.

On the final Friday Talisker whisky hosted the world’s first-ever sail-in cinema. More than 100 boats moored off the Esplanade to watch Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, followed by the annual fireworks display.

Stuart Quarrie, CEO of regatta organisers Cowes Week Limited said: “It’s been windy and testing but we’ve seen some fantastic sailing in the Solent.”

Martin Gilbert, Chief Executive Officer, Aberdeen Asset Management, said: “It’s been fantastic to support the regatta, help the XODs celebrate their Centenary year, and to see the Aberdeen Asset

Management Extreme 40 racing close to shore, providing some thrills and spills for the crowds of spectators.

“We’re looking forward to working in partnership with Cowes Week Limited to continue developing the regatta as a world class event.”

Dauntless, raced by Giles Peckham, Milo Carver and Richard Romer-Lee were undefeated in the 23-strong Daring class throughout the Week which won them not only a class win and the overall White Group win but also saw them scoop the newly-introduced Aberdeen Asset Management Overall Winner Trophy.

In addition to the silverware, Peckham left the overall prize-giving with plenty of booty too, courtesy of the event sponsors.

Items included a magnum of Piper Heidsieck champagne, a bottle of Mount Gay Extra Old, Talisker Single Malt Scotch

Whisky, and an official BOSS Watches Regatta watch.

The winner of the Overall Black Group Trophy was the popular local crew racing Panther in the ISCRS fleet and the boat that grasped victory by the closest margin and was announced as the winner of the Liz Earle Close Shave Trophy was Amethyst racing in the 14-strong Mermaid fleet.

The Young Skipper’s Trophy was awarded for the second year running to 15 year-old Fred Warren-Smith of the Squib Class. Fred narrowly missed out on an overall victory in the Squib Class this year to Lady Penelope.

Next year’s Cowes Week will take place from 11-18 August.

SPANIARDS CONQUER SOLENT TIDES

A TEAM of Spanish sailors from Lanzarote travelled to Cowes and dominated the Sunsail F40 class despite having to take a quick lesson in tides.

They were there to help promote the Portsmouth-based sailing company’s sailing programme during the Canary Islands winter.

Led by Raphael Lasso, the Spaniards, who were at Cowes for the first time, bought a book on the vagaries of the Solent tides.

After a sixth in the first race they dominated the 40-strong Sunsail class with five firsts and a third.

Raphael said: “I knew about Cowes Week but it exceeded expectations on the water and ashore.”

The new Canaries winter programme including races to deliver the yachts to the islands will run from 22 October to the 10 March and offers high adrenalin racing and relaxed cruising, including two three-leg long distance regattas, a series of in-port racing, Pro Am regattas and cruising rallies.

A fleet of the new Sunsail F40s, will race down to the Canary Islands and back to the UK. During their time in the islands the fleet will be based in Marina Rubicon.

Sunsail will also be offering the Canaries as a new yacht charter destination and for RYA training. www.sunsailracing.com

SEATALK

By Bob Satchwell

THEY came, they saw the tides, they conquered Cowes. And I was with them!

What a triumph for the team of jolly sailors from Lanzarote. Led by Raphael Lasso, they won the Sunsail F40 class in considerable style and charmed their competition as only those used to having the sun on their backs and a smile on their faces can.

And what a difference it makes to sail with a team that knows what it is doing. It was a whole new experience to be out in front rather than trailing in the wake of the fleet.

A first race sixth place on day one could be put down to the fact that they had to get used to a new boat and the vagaries of fluky British weather and Solent tides.

Perhaps they were being polite – when in England do as the English do, and lose. It’s mighty bad form to rudely beat one’s hosts.

But with day one out of the way, they were on track to victory with a succession of stunning firsts in all but one race. Then it was a third place only as a result of a particularly cruel wind shift on the final leg against a flooding tide of the kind unknown in the Canaries.

Some audacious sailing just pipped them from behind as the course was shortened in the dying breeze. Clearly they were not used to the power of the attraction of the bar on British sailors.

That was a mere third place despite the efforts of their guests on board for the day. Skandia Team GBR team sailors Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign, who are more at home in their 49er, provided a master class in chasing the smallest wind shifts – another valuable

VICTORY FOR SKILL AND CHARM AT COWES WEEK

lesson for those of us more used to going with the flow.

The team from the Canaries went on to win many friends who were impressed by their sailing skills, not to mention their propensity for partying into the early hours.

They were generous in their praise after their first time visit to the home of yachting. Cowes Week was better than expected, they said. Better still, they have invited everyone back to sail on their race track.

That was part of the reason for their visit. They were promoting their partnership with Sunsail for the winter race series in the Canaries in the F40s which will race to Lanzarote in October and stay for the winter sunshine. And you won’t need to buy a book to learn about the local tides!

By the by, I suppose I should confess that when I say I was ‘with’ the Canary islanders to witness their triumph, I did spend some time with them in Cowes.

As for the day I sailed with them – the day of the third place – ‘guest’ might be too posh a word for my part in the proceedings. Passenger was more accurate.

Records tumble in classic Fastnet Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing approaching The Needles at the start of the Rolex Fastnet Race.

RECORDS tumbled in the 2011 Rolex Fastnet Race as the event lived up to its reputation as the most gruelling and tactically challenging of the classic offshore races.

As usual the 608 mile long course took the boats from the start line off Cowes, Isles of Wight towards the Fastnet Rock off southwest Ireland, back around the outside of the Scilly Isles off southwest England to the finish line in Plymouth.

On Sunday 14 August, 314 boats set sail - the largest ever Rolex Fastnet Race fleet - up from the previous record of 303 – following an invitation from race’s organisers, the Royal Ocean Racing Club, to invite ‘professional’ offshore classes, to compete under their own class rules, over and above the IRC fleet, that was capped at a maximum of 300 entries.

The result was the most diverse selection of yachts ever assembled in a single offshore yacht race including many top international teams.

Some of the world’s fastest multihulls such as the 140-foot long trimaran, Maxi Banque Populaire were lining up with Contessa 32s and pilot cutters.

A coup for the event was the

participation of three Volvo Open 70s, the only occasion these boats would race together prior to this autumn’s start of the fully crewed round the world race.

The ‘pro’ classes also saw the race debut of the two Multi One Design 70-foot trimarans, and attracted six IMOCA 60s, best known for competing in the single handed non-stop round the world race, the Vendee Globe, plus an impressive fleet of 20 of their smaller cousins, the Class 40.

The event lived up to its reputation as the most gruelling and tactically challenging of the classic offshore races Leading the charge in the IRC fleet were the two 100 foot maxis Rambler 100 and ICAP Leopard, followed by the Farr 80 Beau Geste and Mini Maxis such as the 2009 Rolex Fastnet Race winner, Niklas Zennstrom’s JV72, Ran, and Andres

Soriano’s Mills 68, Alegre, but the bulk of the record-sized fleet were more regular yachts with amateur crews from a total of 20 nations.

With winds gusting to 30 knots at the exit to the Solent the first dramas of the race with the Class 40, Eutourist ServSystem and the trimaran, Strontium Dog (GBR) dismasting, plus two collisions.

The world’s fastest offshore boat, Maxi Banque Populaire, skippered by French offshore legend Loick Peyron, took off on a reach on her way back to the finish in Plymouth. Crossing the line in a time of just 1 day, 8 hours, and 48 minutes, the world’s fastest racing trimaran established a new outright record for the Rolex Fastnet Race – some 7 hours and 39 minutes quicker than the best previous time.

As this was happening, drama was unfolding close by the Fastnet Rock.

While Mike Slade’s ICAP Leopard, twotime line honours winner in the event, led the monohull fleet down the English Channel and into the Celtic Sea, George David’s Rambler 100 finally overhauled them on the way to the Rock.

turned south for the Pantaenius offset mark into 25-30 knot headwinds and a sizable short sharp sea. Shortly after this, the fin for her canting keel snapped just below the hull exit causing her to capsize almost instantaneously.

Three crew were lucky and climbed straight on to the upturned hull as she capsized, the rest ended up in the water, including four who had been down below at the time.

The majority of her 21 crew, managed to clamber up on top of the upturned hull, while five, including skipper George David, alarmingly drifted away from the boat.

The five tied themselves together, and they were recovered after having spent two and a half hours in the water, while the remainder of the crew were picked up by the lifeboat from nearby Baltimore.

Everyone was rescued through the combined efforts of the Valentia MRCC, the Baltimore Lifeboat, and the dive vessel, Wave Chieftain.

The shaken crew were taken to Baltimore.

After the incident ICAP Leopard again took the lead in the monohull fleet but 100-foot maxi was rapidly overhauled on the leg back to the Scilly Isles by the three VO70s.

After a spectacular race where each of the three boats, Abu Dhabi, Groupama 4 and Team Sanya held the lead at some point, Groupama 4 was pipped at the post by the Farr-designed Abu Dhabi, skippered by double Olympic silver medallist Ian Walker – with just 4 minutes 42 seconds separating her from Groupama 4, skippered by French non-stop round the world record holder Franck Cammas.

In the process, Abu Dhabi also broke ICAP Leopard’s monohull record for the race with an elapsed time of 1 day, 18 hours, 39 minutes.

There was a similarly tight finish between the IMOCA 60s with the top three separated by less than five minutes.

After ICAP Leopard, the next IRC arrival was Niklas Zennström’s Rán after 2 days 3 minutes and 44 seconds to be confirmed as the overall winner, the first time a boat had won consecutive races since Carina II in the 1950s. www.rorc.org

NEWS IN BRIEF At the show

KEELBOAT SAILORS PASS BIG RACE TEST EIGHT young keelboat sailing talents from the RYA/UKSArun British Keelboat Academy completed the gruelling Rolex Fastnet Race as the fastest J109 boat.

The crew, skippered by 22-yearold Henry Smith and with an average age of 21, battled a range of wind conditions and equipment troubles to finish after four and a half days.

The crew, sailing on board the J109 ‘Yeoman of Wight’, generously on loan from David Aisher, were the first J109 to finish.

The 22-year-old skipper cited the high points of the race as rounding the Fastnet Rock, and, in hindsight, the breezy conditions they experienced, although at the time he could only think of how cold and wet they were getting from the strong winds.

“I think I would like to do the race again, but perhaps in a faster boat next time,” he concluded.

“The multihulls were coming back past us on their way to the finish when we had only just gone around the Lizard on the way out!”

British Keelboat Academy Head Coach Luke McCarthy was quick to congratulate the achievements of the young team.

The crew was Henry Smith (Oxford), Sam Matson (Exeter), Steve Aiken (Southampton), James Brown (Southampton), (Falmouth), James O’Mahony (Cork). Alex Gardner (New Church, IOW), Neil Payne (Portsmouth). www.britishkeelboatacademy.org

RNLI to rescue in capsize drama BAltIMORe RNlI lifeboat crew were involved in a major rescue operation on when a 100-foot Rambler 100 from the USA capsized during the Fastnet race.

Five of the 21 crew were missing when the lifeboat arrived on scene, while the remaining 16 were huddled together on the upturned hull. the Baltimore lifeboat volunteers were out on exercise near the Fastnet rock when they were alerted by Valentia Coast Guard to an emergency signal. the lifeboat, with Coxswain Keiron Cotter at the wheel, headed to the area and started a search.

About 16 miles southwest of Baltimore and five miles south of the Fastnet, the lifeboat crew spotted the upturned yacht with the 16 crew members on the hull. the sailors told the lifeboat volunteers that five of their crew had drifted away from the yacht. the other five crew members who were missing had managed to tether themselves together and were spotted in the water by the lifeboat deputy mechanic Jerry Smith, who had taken out his own dive boat

to join in the search. One of the five was airlifted by the Irish Coast Guard helicopter to receive medical attention, and Jerry took the other four to shore.

Meanwhile the lifeboat crew brought the 16 sailors off the yacht hull and aboard their all-weather lifeboat. they were reunited with their fellow yacht crew members back at Baltimore.

Baltimore RNlI Coxswain Keiron Cotter said: “We had no idea what we were looking for and it was extremely hard to spot the upturned yacht in the water. they had been there for about three hours with other vessels in the race passing nearby but not being able to see them.

“We were out on exercise in the area where they capsized and we must have just missed them by minutes. We saw a light in the distance and did not know what it was so we went closer to investigate it. When we got nearer we saw that it was a torch the casualties were flashing to attract attention. Our priority was to get them back to shore as quickly as possible.”

HARWICH RNlI inshore lifeboat crew launched at 3.45am on Saturday 20 August to assist a grounded yacht in Walton Backwaters. the lifeboat crew found the stricken vessel stuck on sandbanks with two people aboard. Volunteers attached a tow, pulled the yacht clear, and towed her and her crew to titchmarsh marina.

KAyAKers rescued

tWO kayakers were brought to safety by llandudno’s RNlI lifeboats. One of the kayakers had hit rough water and was thrown into the sea, slightly injuring himself. A second member of the group, in trying to help him, sustained a back injury. llandudno lifeboat volunteers pulled the pair into the inshore lifeboat and ferried them to the larger lifeboat for treatment.

Youngsters rewarded

THE winners of MDL’s Sail Training Awards have been selected and the six deserving youngsters who won the opportunity to experience a life changing sailing trip will begin their voyage later this month.

The winners have been carefully selected due to their exceptional accomplishments, or for overcoming adverse personal circumstances. The awards aim to give the youngsters recognition for their efforts and offer them the opportunity to do something extraordinary.

Chloe Beavan-Smith, 13, and Daniel Bull, 17, both from Plymouth will join South Coast winners, Zoe Everett-Taylor, 12, from Gosport, Allistair Pollard, 14, from Fordingbridge, Sam John, 14, from Fareham and Lottie Harland, 14, from Reading on the trip.

The awards, which have been running for more than 20 years, offer young people a week on board the sailing boat, John Laing, operated by the Ocean Youth Trust.

At the beginning of the trip all the youngsters start by getting to grips with health and safety on board.

The winners then get the charts out and collectively plot their intended course themselves. They become involved in all elements of sailing from trimming sails and navigation to duties

such as scrubbing down, maintenance and cooking for the rest of the crew.

The boat was due to leave from Ipswich at MDL’s Woolverstone Marina on 24 August and arrive on 30 August at Ocean Village Marina in Southampton.

The winners will also attend the PSP Southampton Boat Show where they will be presented with a trophy by the owner of MDL Marinas, Lord Iliffe and inspirational yachtsman Geoff Holt, on Tuesday 20 September at MDL’s waterfront stand - E52.

All at Sea columnist Holt said: “I’ve witnessed myself how life-changing it can be for some people if given the opportunity to get afloat, none more so than disadvantaged youngsters. I think the awards are a terrific idea and I wish all of the winners a long and continued relationship with the sea, no matter what level they choose to participate at.”

MDL’s Chief Operating Officer, Jon Eads said: “Our Sail Training Awards are a very important initiative for us and we have so far helped well over a hundred youngsters to experience something truly exceptional.”

Ship’s rats are new stars Photos: Paul Blakemore

SQUEAKING rats, a hissing animatronic cat, and an overworked cook take starring roles in the SS Great Britain’s new historic galley.

The kitchen space, which has taken £60,000 and six weeks to transform, is packed with hidden state-of-theart technology.

It is the latest improvement to the multi award-winning visitor attraction in Bristol, which celebrates a ‘Let’s Dine!’ theme for 2011.

It is inspired by the 150th anniversary of the publication of ‘Beeton’s Book of Household Management’, which made Mrs

Beeton a household name.

The galley soundscapes feature the voice of actor John Telfer – the Reverend Alan Franks from BBC Radio 4’s ‘The Archers’ – as a shouting cook.

Visitors can feel heat coming from the oven and smell rosemary, cooking fish and smoky bacon. They can see Victorian delicacies prepared for First Class passengers – from ornate jellies and mackerel, to a calf’s head.

John Telfer’s contribution is especially relevant as his wife Dr Lindsay St. Claire is a descendant of a passenger who travelled on board

the SS Great Britain in 1871 and would have eaten the food prepared in the Victorian galley.

The SS Great Britain Trust’s records show that Dr. St. Claire’s ancestor Henry Wise was aged 36, and travelled from Liverpool to Melbourne on the same voyage as English novelist Anthony Trollope.

He left England on a 64-day voyage on May 14, one of 391 passengers and 153 members of crew.

Whilst the SS Great Britain’s on board standards were high compared with other Victorian ships, the presence of rats would horrify

today’s inspectors who would struggle to award any stars for 1860s food hygiene.

The ship’s modern kitchen, hidden away behind the First Class Dining Saloon, meets the very highest standards in food hygiene with a full five-star rating.

The process of conservation costs more than £1 million per year. The SS Great Britain Trust receives no funding from central or local government and relies on visitors and events held on board as well as the generosity of members and supporters to fund work.

LIVE TV LAUNCH FOR LATEST RESTORATION HMS Warrior the world’s first iron-hulled, armoured warship powered by steam as well as sail that immediately rendered all other ships obsolete, is still revealing its secrets.

Commissioned into the Royal Navy 150 years ago, the final part of her restoration was unveiled in a BBC tV show about the three-year, £60,000 refurbishment of the sick berth.

Presenters Dan Snow and Sian Williams broadcast live from the ship as they brought history to life for ‘National treasures live’. the team explored the mighty ship that never fired a shot in anger, and described her restoration that began in Hartlepool in 1979 and her Portsmouth homecoming in 1987.

the sick bay is the final restoration project that has been overseen by Warrior’s archivist Andrew Baines.

A detailed plan of the ship, drawn by 14-year-old Midshipman Murray has been crucial to the restoration.

HMS Warrior’s sick berth had facilities to dispense medicine and to operate that would rival that of a hospital on land.

Andrew Baines said: “In undertaking the sick berth restoration we have remained faithful to the ethos established by the Hartlepool restoration team – that something only goes on display if we can guarantee that it was on board, and know exactly what it looked like.” www.historicdockyard.co.uk

Crowds gather for Princess Anne A BIG crowd of spectators and well-wishers gathered to watch the Princess Royal officially open the new Bembridge RNLI lifeboat station.

Princess Anne named the new Tamar class lifeboat, Alfred Albert Williams, and met relatives of the man in whose honour the lifeboat was funded and the Bembridge RNLI team.

husband and wife couple who made a significant donation to the RNLI. The new Bembridge RNLI lifeboat station replaces the previous building which was built in 1922.

Bembridge RNLI coxswain Steve Simmonds said: “We are very lucky station to have such a fine boathouse and top-of-the-range lifeboat.”

The lifeboat was called out within hours of the ceremony.

Appeal launched for new lifeboat station The nature of the area meant something fast, powerful and capable of operating in shallow water was needed.

Since its inception the service has attended on average, 100 incidents per year. It is on duty day and night, 365/6 days a year in all weather.

The station moved from Petter’s Slipway to its current location on the public hard at Hamble.

The service has also evolved from having a small ‘Dory’ to having two of the most powerful 32-foot.

RIBs in service in the UK and the two lifeboats run in six month shifts, one afloat in service and one in the station for refit.

In 2008 Hamble Lifeboat celebrated its 40th birthday and things have changed dramatically since its formation. Water based activities are more popular than ever which of course means that the waters and beaches of the Solent continue to get more congested.

With this and the fact that the regulations for crew and lifeboats continue to get more stringent and coupled with a lifeboat ‘Code of Practice’ which came into effect in 2008 there are great challenges ahead.

A fundraising Hamble Lifeboat Appeal Launch Dinner will take place at Grand Café on Friday 7 October to launch an appeal and to inform the local boating community and general public.

HAMBLE independent lifeboat has been granted planning permission to build a new desperately needed lifeboat station.

Hamble Parish Council has agreed to a long lease for the current lifeboat site at a peppercorn rent.

The current building has no hot water, showers, heating, changing facilities for the crew and nowhere to hang safety kit and equipment to dry or a even a room to store it properly.

The station is physically too small for the lifeboats which need to be virtually dismantled to get them into the station for vital regular maintenance.

There are also no real training facilities and everyone has to stand outside throughout the year when training ashore.

The Hamble Lifeboat was formed in 1968 as the “Southampton Water Inshore Rescue Service” – later known as “Hamble Rescue”.

It was formed by local residents in response to the increasing number of casualties occurring in Southampton Water and the Rivers Hamble, Itchen and Test. There were 19 deaths in one year.

The service is entirely independent of the RNLI and the crew is made up of volunteers who give their time and effort with the vital support of their families.

The RNLI, who at the time had boats stationed at Yarmouth and Bembridge were approached but had no boat suitable for the area.

New race marks 175th anniversary THE Royal Southern Yacht Club will celebrate its 175th Anniversary next year with a full programme of events including a new Biscay race and a youth regatta.

The Hamble-based Club launched its anniversary programme during the world’s oldest yachting regatta, Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week.

During 2012 there will be key events running in each month, underlining the club’s position in its local community and the wider international yachting arena.

Events will include open days, a luncheon at a Royal palace, a 16-day regatta in The Solent, the 50th edition of the Cowes-Deauville Race, and its hosting of the British Open 12 Metre Championships.

The club will host the conference of the International Council of Yacht Clubs.

Yachtswoman Sam Davies was announced as its Ambassador. She spoke about her future sailing plans for the Vendée Globe 2012, taking into account the imminent birth of her first child. She also spoke passionately about the birth of Biscay 2012 in partnership with Sunsail so that competitors will not need their own yachts: “Any sailing initiative that helps encourage a wider audience to participate

in some competitive offshore racing has to be a good thing”, she said.

Club members’ range from dinghy racing to offshore racing, cruising and a substantial motorboat fleet. There are 1,600 adult members and 200 cadets and the 20-year Youth Sailing Programme continues to deliver world class sailors.

Sunsail Racing is the technical partner for the Biscay race, with a new fleet of Sunsail F40 performance cruiser/racers, built by Beneteau, constituting the largest part of the club’s inaugural Biscay 2012 race fleet.

The race will take place every other year.

Other club partners are Gaastra the Dutch fashion brand with a passion for sailing and the sea, Piper-Heidsieck Champagne and Swarovski Optik a world leader in both the high fashion business and a specialist manufacturer of high precision long range binoculars, telescopes, riflescopes, range finders, image intensifiers and optical components. www.royal-southern.co.uk

TRUE Utility has designed a new range of four LED torches, all with water-resistant rubber ‘O’ rings. By using a lens that sits directly on top of the LED bulb, the need for a reflector is removed. The TrueLite is therefore both smaller and brighter than you would expect.

Made from aircraft-grade anodised aluminium, with a non-slip body, it is plainly built for the outdoor enthusiast.

There are four sizes available, from the Maxi 3w with 120+ lumens down to the Micro, which is worn on your keychain.

The Maxi, Midi and Mini all come with robust belt clips and fit neatly in the palm of your hand.

It’s top gear.

Price: from £7.99 to £26.99 www.trueutility.com

SOS Marine beat off more than 900 entries to win the Australian Business Prize for Product Excellence and Best New Product in the 2011 Awards. The product that took it to victory was the SOS Dan Buoy - a safety device designed to assist in man-overboard (MOB) rescues. It can be thrown by any crewmember to someone who has had the misfortune to go overboard. It can be used in fresh or salt water and it takes up even less room in a fishing tinny than a tackle box. It is reusable (after being serviced) and it comes equipped with handles to help support the patient in the water. It is compact, simple to use and folds away in an easily stowed carry bag, so there are no storage problems, however small your boat. www.danbuoy.com www.sosmarine.com

PLUG N PLAY FOR YOUR PC DIGITAL Yacht has launched a new AIS product designed for use with PC-based navigation systems. The new AIS receiver, called uAIS, connects via USB direct to a PC or Mac and its integrated antenna means you can get started without delay. You simply plug in the USB cable and set up your software to view AIS data. uAIS can be placed in the cockpit, under a spray hood, clipped on a rail or even permanently mounted, and will typically receive targets up to ten nautical miles away, even when mounted at deck level. The dual-channel receiver also means that both AIS frequencies can be monitored simultaneously.

Even the economics make sense, with a PC and software potentially costing less than £400. You can catch it on stand G093 at the Southampton Boat Show.

GREEN FOCUS

A joint BMF and RYA initiative

The Green Blue is the environment programme created by the British leisure marine industry for the benefit of anyone who enjoys getting out on the water

HELEN WATERHOUSE

Rewarding environmental efforts good work go unnoticed, and so on Thursday 22 September at 12 noon on the RYA stand at the this year’s show, we will be recognising, rewarding and celebrating some of those who have been championing sustainability within their organisations in two special presentations: the inaugural presentation of The Green Blue’s Award for Individual Environmental Excellence and the second round of presentations of The Marine Toolkit Completion Certificates.

The Award for Individual Environmental Excellence is inspired by and in memory of Sally Banham, one of the founder members of The Green Blue.

It will be presented to an individual within the UK recreational boating sector who has been 16:49 Page an 1 inspirational leader

or just straightforward hardworking champion of sustainability and has made significant environmental improvements in their organisation, sailing club, training centre or business.

Three hours later we will be presenting the second round of Marine Toolkit Certificates. These certificates are awarded annually to just a handful of marine organisations that have successfully completed the online selfassessment tool and have implemented environmental improvements.

The Marine Toolkit has been specially designed for the managers of marine businesses to help them benchmark their environmental performance, identify opportunities to improve efficiency as well as cut costs.

WIN A WATERPROOF CAMERA IT’S great to see so much activity taking place around the UK but one particularly tricky problem at the moment is the arrival and spread of non-native invasive species around the UK coastline.

NNIS are fast becoming a big issue for boaters and marinas everywhere as they have the ability to wipe out native species and can easily be transported around the coast by catching a ride on our hulls.

NNIS can be very costly to clean up and have the potential to disrupt boating activities, so it’s vitally important that we all do our bit to hinder the spread.

To raise awareness of the problem, we have teamed up with Defra to promote their Check-Clean-Dry campaign which aims to prevent the spread of these aquatic aliens.

Come along to the RYA stand at

the boat show at any time during the show to find our more and to be in with the chance of winning a Panasonic Lumix FT3 digital shockproof and waterproof camera.

Simply tick the right answer to the question about how boaters can help prevent the spread of aquatic non-native invasive species and post your entry in the competition entries box.

However we couldn’t have achieved so much without the support and cooperation of so many individuals and organisations keen to make real environmental improvements and working towards a sustainable, profitable future for the sport and the industry that supports it.

VISITORS Free Rib Taxi between the two Marinas Pictures: Sue Sieger

John Binder, Manager of the two marinas, said: “With the sailing events happening in Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour and strict security limiting where vessels can travel, Poole is the ideal place for spectators to base themselves. It’s far enough out to avoid the media circus and close enough to be able to travel daily to The Games.

Poole: a treasure chest of history and beauty.

“Our new permanent berth marina opened in July and is already booked up though we’ve just released our larger berths there for up to 60 metre superyachts. We’re already taking bookings for temporary berths for 2012 at our sister marina Poole Quay Boat Haven.

The Games are expected to generate an additional 64,000 visitors to Dorset, generating huge demand for accommodation.

John added: “We’re determined to do all we can to relieve pressure on Weymouth and ensure our UK athletes have the strong home support they deserve.”

The new marina, which was designed in preparation for The Games and constructed by Walcon, cost £1 million and creates space for 59 boats, 10 ribs and 10 jet skis. It occupies the old Ro-Ro1 Brittany Ferries berth and a free rib taxi service operates to nearby Poole Quay.

The sailing events take place from Sunday July 29 till Saturday August 11 and feature a variety of craft, from windsurfing boards to dinghies and keelboats.

GEOFF HOLT

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

YJA YACHTSMAN OF THE YEAR 2010

MORE than 60 boats and 150 disabled and able-bodied sailors converged on Rutland Waterlast for a weekend last month to compete in the annual RYA Sailability Multiclass Regatta.

Competitors came from as far afield as Holland, France and Canada as well as the UK and battled it out in nine classes- Stratos, SKUD, Access, 2.4mR, Challenger, Sonar, SQUIB, Kinsman and Neo 495.

The racing began on Saturday with each class competing in four class races.

While the wind decided which direction it wanted to blow in racing was held up. Once it made its mind up the clouds parted and the sun shone, creating perfect sailing conditions.

Sunshine and wind continued throughout Sunday which was all about the prestigious Ken Ellis Trophy and saw 150 sailors all contesting in the two-race Trophy general handicap series, creating quite a spectacle out on the water.

Competing for the first time in the regatta was the Neo 495 class which had two new entries. Alain Inzerlac, the designer of the boat, came from the South of France to compete. “It is great to be here this weekend. This boat was built in 2005 and is designed especially for disabled people to race,” he said.

“I have really enjoyed sailing here at Rutland Water and it has been a fantastic opportunity to introduce people to my boat”.

Amy Oulton, 22, from Ringwood Sailability, who suffers with a rare disability was competing in an Access 303.

“I am so excited to be competing this weekend, even though my chances of winning are not very high. This is event is amazing as it provides competitors with chance to sail alongside sailors of all levels of ability and experience. Some

people have been sailing for years and years whereas I am very new!” said Amy. “The social side is fantastic too and I have even met another lady with the same disability as me. It’s a very special event.”

Wilma van der Broek, sailing in the Access Liberty fleet, was revealed as the overall multiclass champion and the winner of the Ken Ellis Trophy at the official prize giving.

“I am very surprised and couldn’t believe it when I heard I was the first person of the day,” said a delighted Wilmafrom the Netherlands.

Alex Hovden was also announced as the winner of the first UK Open Skud 18

National Championships.

Matt Grier, RYA Racing Development Coach said: “Another successful year.

The weather has been perfect, with less wind and we have seen some great tactical racing.

“It’s fantastic to see the development of the people coming back each year as well as the development of the Paralympic and disabled sailing.”

The event was also extra special this year as it invited disabled sailors to come along and have a go on a variety of different boats under the watchful eye of a qualified instructor in the ‘try a sail’ area which was running throughout the weekend.

The Model Yachting Association (MYA) also attended the event and invited sailors to come and try something a bit different- sailing without getting wet!

“Once again we have had a spectacular turnout at this year’s event, making it our biggest regatta yet” said Debbie Blachford, RYA Sailability Manager.

“Not only is the Multiclass a great showcase of the talent we have within the disabled community, but it is also a great social event too with many spectators coming along to the support the sailors and meet other disabled people who share a common interest in the sport”.

THE WINNERS 2.4mR Fleet: Iain Stowe Rutland Sailability Challenger Gold Fleet: Val Millward Rutland Sailability Challenger Silver Fleet: Pauline Shaw Grafham Sailability Artemis Fleet: Dean Abra/Tim Bell Even Keel Project Laser Stratos Fleet: Lucy Hodges/Gary Butler/ Liam Catternale Blind Sailing Access 2.3 Fleet: Lindsey Burns Frensham Pond Access 303 2p Fleet: Chris Emmet/Malcolm Kirk Rutland Sailability Access 303 1p Fleet: Ian MacNair Rutland Sailability Access Liberty Fleet: Vera Voorbach Kinsman Fleet: John Vickers/Chris Ball Rutland Sailability Neo 495 Fleet: Andrew Sheath/Kate Lintott Frensham Pond Skud 18 Fleet: Alex Hovden, Kate Mannering Papercourt Sailing Club

A special thank you also goes to the 70 plus volunteers who worked tirelessly over the weekend to ensure the event ran smoothly from start to finish including the RAF which donated safety boats with their crews.

The multiclass regatta is part of the RYA Sailability national sailing and racing programme ‘Making Disability Plain Sailing’, which is funded jointly by Sport England and the RYA Sailability Trust.

SHELLEY JORY-LEIGH

Proud ambassador for RNLI I WAS honoured to become an Ambassador for the RNLI and although I hope I never need their services I jumped at the chance to work with the charity.

In one of my first engagements the Calshot RNLI Crew invited me to join them for the day during one of their busiest times of the year – Cowes Week.

I joined five of Calshot’s 30 volunteer crew on board Max Aitken III, an allweather lifeboat, as they headed out to patrol the Solent.

The RNLI has an active fleet of more than 330 boats ranging from five to 17 metres with a relief fleet of around 115 boats. They rely on more than 40,000 volunteers to man the stations and crew the boats.

The crew on board with me for the day were Coxswain Duncan Christie, 34, Tim Woodcock Lifeboat Press Officer, Mick Dye, 51, Mike Croxson, 31, and Mike Nicholas, 47. They were either on days off from their regular jobs or on holiday and had a combined service of 30-plus years volunteering for the RNLI. In 2010 the Calshot lifeboat alone attended more than 1,300 shouts. The 235 Lifeboat stations in total in 2010

Photo: Nikki Drummond

rescued 8,313 people and saved 309 lives. As the crew told me about their experiences and about their constant training, the radio crackled into life.

The coastguard had a call from a RIB that had come across a small pleasure craft suffering engine problems and battling with the rolling swells so the

crew leapt into action. Within seconds they retrieved the co-ordinates and plotted the course.

The casualty was a small Fletcher and in the conditions the crew could not secure their auxiliary engine to return under their own power. The lifeboat crew checked that the two-man crew were ok

and tow lines were swiftly secured.

Towing the boat into Warsash another call came through. Cowes Lifeboat was assisting a Dutch yacht with rudder failure and conditions made it difficult to tow the large yacht. After safely delivering our first casualties the Calshot crew went to assist.

Working closely as a team, the Calshot crew sent their sea anchor over to the yacht to aid passage back to Cowes Marina.

With the yacht safely back in Cowes we returned back to Calshot where the crew stood down until their pagers sounded again.

All-in-all it was a relatively quiet day for the Calshot crew but they explained to me that both casualties were typical of what they see day-in-day out.

These guys are fantastic and do a phenomenal job keeping us safe on the water. They tackle everything they are faced with professionally and swiftly and it’s easy to see what a tight unit these saviours of the Solent are!

FOCUS ON GOSPORT

Royal Clarence Marina

back to life

THE Royal Clarence Marina in Gosport must be one of the most alluring and atmospheric places to run a business, work or relax in Hampshire.

The former Royal Navy victualling yard provided the beer, rum and ingredients including salted meats, flour, oatmeal, suet and sea biscuits for all Royal Naval menus from 1831.

The brewery had been supplying the navy with beer from 1690 – first as a private brewery and then under naval stewardship from 1761.

Bought by Berkeley in 1999, the complete restoration has retained and revitalised the very best of the period buildings to create a dynamic community in the centre of Gosport that is a destination now for people to live, work or relax.

As the marina is the deepest on the

South Coast, there are a number of businesses allied to the yachting and boating world with offices in Cooperage Green and the Bakery and Granary.

One of the most prestigious, and earliest, commercial tenants is Clipper Ventures who are renowned for their adrenalin-filled yacht races, corporate and training events. Their boats dominate the Waterfront and it is from their offices in the Granary that their Round the World Races are run.

William Ward, CEO of Clipper Ventures, said: “The business has developed considerably since we moved here and the Clipper Race continues to go from strength to strength. The fleet and business also look set to continue to grow: “The unique Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is now the longest

We all love working here as there is such a good atmosphere and we all help each other out and swap ideas at 40,000 miles and is the only event to train people from all walks of life to participate.

“It is a huge advantage to have the offices close to the fleet which is berthed in the marina and in constant use for training and corporate events between circumnavigating the world every two years.”

For Angela Batten, who owns Unit 10

Hair Design in Cooperage Green, having a ready made customer base so close by was a deciding factor when she was looking to start her business two years ago.

“I have lived and worked in Gosport all my life and Cooperage Green has been perfect for my new business as it has a large car park, there is passing trade and a lot of salon clients from the other businesses here, boating people from the marina and the residents.” she said.

“We all love working here as there is such a good atmosphere and we all help each other out and swap ideas.”

Where once the barrels were made, there are now 24 small businesses in Cooperage Green. Offices and a restaurant operate where the biscuits were baked and the flour was milled

in the Granary and Bakery and six new retail units and a brand new London style Brasserie – Redz Brasserie – are in the new Chandlers building right on the Waterfront.

Pippa Bugby, Berkeley Southern sales and marketing director, said: “Living, working and dining here is a lot more sophisticated than in its naval heyday but it is apposite that there is such a mix of entrepreneurial businesses here bringing prosperity to Gosport.”

STICKY’S TIPS

A trainer and teacher throughout his life, Sticky is a Royal Yachting Association qualified Yachtmaster Instructor, a Yachtmaster Ocean

BY STICKY STAPYLTON

No wind so time to talk safety I MOTORED all the way to Guernsey last month and most of the way back during an almost windless week.

The boat we were on was fitted with an autopilot so instruction could continue on a host of subjects whilst, of course, a good lookout was kept at all times.

We were moored alongside a smart 45-foot boat in St Peter Port and I noticed the yacht’s liferaft was neatly fitted with a piece of grating to act as a seat for a crew member to be comfortable whilst viewing astern or enjoying a drink when moored.

I have always been brought up to emphasise that canister liferafts should not be trodden or sat on because the weight might either break the seals keeping the outfit water resistant or might even crack the case. I spoke to the agents for Zodiac liferafts in UK, and was told firmly the canisters should

Medina River Cowes

never be trodden on or sat upon.

If you look at the photo, you can see at the top right hand corner of the recess for the handle, this is exactly what has happened; there is a small crack.

The boat we chartered was clean and tidy, despite being 17 years old, and had a very comprehensive inventory. But the flare box had, in my view, one serious omission, there were no really thick leather gloves for holding the handheld flares when setting them off.

Are you aware of how your handheld flares will burn? Have you ever attended a flare demonstration and seen how your particular make and model ignites and burns?

Do you brief your crew, assuming that your handheld flares will operate pointing down, teaching them to do just that with the flare held over the side of the boat, so that any burning dross goes into the sea rather than

Haslar Marina Gosport

drips down on to their hand?

This is where the gardening gloves come in, and it is important that they are not made of some man-made substance which could easily catch fire. The flares do get very hot and this is another reason for having gloves in your flare pack.

You should tell your crew that they must not look at the flare, its brightness is so intense that they could be blinded for some time after looking at it.

Try to avoid mixing flares and smoke canisters from different manufacturers as this may cause confusion over the firing methods.

Always remove price labels from flares bought individually, the label may cover some important information.

I always buy two or three flares each season so that I am updating my pack

YACHT DELIVERY TO MALTA

I HAVE a few vacant berths on a delivery of a yacht from Bayona in North West Spain to Malta.

There are spaces on the legs from Bayona to Gib, Gib to Palma, and Palma to Malta during late September and early October.

COWES 2012 on a regular basis and spreading the cost; some would argue that it is better to buy a flare pack when the old one is time expired.

The choice is yours, but it is important to stick to the same manufacturer, that way there should be no confusion over how to set them off. instructor@sail-help.co.uk www.sail-help.co.uk

Compass To navigate at sea boaters use a compass, which allows you to steer on a particular heading, take bearings of known objects to plot your position and monitor the bearing to assess the risk of collision with other craft. Compass’s point to Magnetic North. This is different from the chart which is aligned with True North. The difference between True and Magnetic North is called variation. If we are transferring bearings from a chart to use on a compass, they need to be converted from True to Magnetic. Likewise, when reading bearings from a compass they need converting to True before plotting on a chart. Variation can vary greatly between different boating areas, and changes over time. It is calculated and recorded on charts. Whilst afloat if we need to find our position and mark it on the chart, we can do this by using a 3 point fix.

This allows a position on the sea to be plotted onto a chart with reference to nearby land objects.

Passage Planning and Pilotage Passage planning is the ability to prepare a plan that allows you to safely navigate between two points. It will take into account: weather, stream, tidal rates, route, vessel and the experience of the crew. At the end of a passage you will use pilotage, which is the use of landmarks, buoyage, transits and water depth for departure and arrival at a known or unknown harbour or marina.

Buoyage In IALA A (as shown below) we leave the starboard cone to our starboard side when entering harbour - our boat’s port and starboard side match the buoyage. In IALA B the reverse is true.

Towing Alongside This is more like pushing the boat. Especially good when greater control is required - in harbour, or into a berth. The tow vessels must be toed-in slightly. The rudder or outboard of the towing vessel must be behind the towed vessel. Use the bow line to keep the vessels toed-in. The stern line holds it together when you turn corners. A tug’s fore spring will take nearly all the weight when moving ahead. The tug’s stern spring will take nearly all the weight when moving astern.

Glossary of Terms

Astern Tow An astern tow is usually the easiest tow for any distance. Agree a simple communications method before you start, use a long line which will act as a shock absorber, lead the tow line through any fairleads and spread the load on both craft over the strong points. It will be much easier to steer if the tow is from ahead of the outboard or rudder and on the centre line of the craft. Outboard powered craft can use a bridle for light tows. Adjust the tow length so that if there is any sea running you aim to use a line of twice the wavelength, to ensure that the vessel under tow sits comfortably on the waves coming behind you.

Weather information is available from television, radio, VHF, the Internet and your local harbour or marina. A basic understanding of wind strength, direction and what effect it has while you are out on the water is essential for the skipper of a small boat. Remember wind against the stream will make the sea state worse. (RYA Publication G5 Weather Forecasts)

GPS can also give your speed over the ground (SOG), course over the ground (COG) and show you how far you have strayed from your intended route (cross track error - XTE).

Electronic Navigation The Global Positioning System (GPS) has now become the primary navigation system for small powerboats where space for chartwork is limited. When used in conjunction with a chart it makes progress along a pre-planned route easier. GPS systems show your current position and can also be programmed with waypoints (a position expressed in Latitude and Longitude).

By entering a route using waypoints the GPS can show the bearing and distance from one waypoint to another.

tion is available from a variety of sources – a nautical al tide tables or even the Internet. Usually the times of high and low water for the chosen port are given, here is also a tidal graph which gives more precise

When towing always make sure that the tow vessel is suitable in size for the task. Consider how far you will need to tow, ensure you have the correct lines and agree any charges before you start.

SPOTLIGHT ON MARINAS AND HARBOURS

Premier’s

Sovereign

Harbour

EASTBOURNE, SUSSEX SEVERAL hours’ sail to the east of the honeypot that is the Solent, the gently undulating coastline sweeps up dramatically to form the South Downs with Beachy Head as a dramatic focal point.

This ancient and beautiful headland has been a landmark for sailors returning up the Channel for centuries. Tucked in its lee is a marina that has only been providing shelter to sailors for the past couple of decades.

Sovereign Yacht Harbour, situated a couple of miles to the east of Eastbourne, has been imperceptibly growing since the first basin was dug back in 1991 and can now accommodate a remarkable 866 yachts in the four locked basins available for most boats at all states of tide. In addition to this, it boasts a huge adjoining retail park, which includes a cinema, innumerable restaurants, chandlers and a massive housing development.

The construction of this entirely man made haven was a welcome addition for any Channel cruiser, because it offered much needed shelter along a relatively barren section of coast, particularly if you discount the relatively shallow Rye Harbour.

Most importantly, Eastbourne statistically has more hours of sunshine than anywhere else in the UK.

ENTERING HARBOUR

Entrance is straightforward in anything other than a strong ENE or ESE and clearly marked. On approach, Martello tower is conspicuous and serves as a lighthouse at night (Fl(3) 15s). Having picked this up, head for the fairway buoy ENE of the breakwaters, which are painted white at their ends.

There is a sectored leading light, with a 258°T lead in.

The channel is marked from here and is dredged to 2m, but it’s worth checking

LOCK KEEPER

Martello tower (Fl(3) 15s) is a prominent landmark

lock keepers are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can call them on Ch 17. they can also advise you on berthing. Visitors’ pontoons are just to port of the locks.

WHERE TO SHOP

When it comes to victuals, the huge 24 hour Asda about 200m up the road from Sovereign Yacht Harbour is an obvious and cheap choice. Beyond that, the neighbouring retail park offers a huge range of shops, from Boots’ pharmacy right through to sportswear and electrical shops.

eastbourne is the archetypal British seaside town and on a summer’s day strolling along the waterfront to the pier. Be sure to check out the bandstand as you stroll along the waterfront, because this often has performances on, while the perfectly manicured Carpet Gardens are well worth a visit.

Head further afield and you find yourself in the rolling countryside of the South Downs, providing ample opportunity for hiking trips. A stroll up to Beachy Head is highly recommended for walking enthusiasts.

WHERE TO EAT

Once between the breakwaters, follow the channel round to starboard and aim for the two locks.

The locks can be contacted on Ch 17 and open on the hour and half hour.

Floating pontoons within the lock keep things simple and the lock keeper will assign you a berth.

Once through the lock, the visitors’ pontoon is to port and the fuel jetty to starboard.

Where to crUIse

In terms of a day sail, Brighton is a couple of hours’ away. Newhaven is an alternative nearby.

Beyond this, the Solent ports and Chichester are easily achievable for a weekend sail. Heading east, there are very slim pickings. The picturesque old

port of Rye lies a short hop along the coast, but with a drying height of 1.3m in places, you’ll have to pick your tides carefully.

Alternatively, head directly south and you have plenty of options for a quick cross-Channel hop. The vibrant port of Dieppe is a favoured destination. The distance across is around 50nm, meaning that this is a trip that could be done extremely rapidly; it takes somewhere in the region of 12 hours to get across at 5 knots. Boulogne is another alternative, particularly if the wind swings southerly.

A good recommended cross-Channel round trip is to the port of Fecamp, then heading over to the picturesque port of St Vaast La Hogue, tucked in on the Cherbourg peninsula, before hopping back across to Eastbourne, possibly taking in a Channel Island harbour along the way, depending on how much time you have.

WHAT TO SEE

Being a purpose built marina, Sovereign has a vast range of restaurants and shops built around it, so you really can take your choice when it comes to eating, whether you fancy Italian, Indian or Chinese, it’s all here on site.

A hot favourite is the Ganges Indian Restaurant, which provides fine dining and a great view across the marina.

Tel: 01323 479988

WHERE TO dRINK

If you’re keener on quaffing ale than fine dining, then a trip to nearby Pevensey Bay will be a rewarding experience. Pevensey offers a number of traditional pubs offering strong ale, hearty grub and a warm welcome to one and all. the 57 bus takes you from town to Pevensey.

there is a DIY fuel berth, which is open round the clock, while lift out and winter storage are also available.

In terms of showering and toilets the very modern shower blocks are pretty much unsurpassed in terms of luxury.

COASTAL CUISINE

Being by the water is a lifestyle. It is about having fun, being with friends,eating and drinking, all whilst taking in the breathtaking atmosphere

eAt, DRINK AND RelAX BY tHe WAteRSIDe

eating and drinking by the water The restaurant Banana Bar serves a variety of drinks to suit any occasion. It has a heated and covered patio area for dining with unobstructed views of the yacht-filled marina and inside the décor and lighting provide a stylish, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

The basin that became the marina was formerly used for commercial vessels including banana boats.

EMSWORTH OPENING

A NeW restaurant, the Deck, opened officially at emsworth with a fizz and fish and chips party. It will cater for marina customers, visitors and local residents while they overlook the marina. the Deck is open from 8.30 am to 5 pm seven days a week and the cafe is fully licensed. the owners Debbie Green and Juliet Graham can open in the evening for private parties. the café is accessible by footpath from emsworth town.

AAS1109 Delicious Dining

OCEAN village is like a man for all seasons for anyone who likes to do things by the water.

It’s a place to berth your boat or to visit by sea. It’s a pace to live so that you watch admiringly over your treasured craft. And it’s a place you can eat out whenever and wherever the mood takes you.

As an example, Grand Café is a venue steeped in history located within South Western House, a Grade II* listed building whose history dates back to 1865.

The former Wedgewood ballroom and dining room is now home to a quirky bar, bistro and restaurant within what was once Southampton’s grandest hotel. Not only was it frequented by many famous celebrities over the years but it was also used by the First Class passengers of the ill-fated Titanic.

Enjoy light lunches and early dinners in the informal bistro, Grand Café restaurant is designed to be bursting with mix of classic British styles and elaborate flamboyance and offers a relaxed atmosphere day and night.

Banana Wharf bar and restaurant is in the heart of Ocean Village and is a place to meet, eat and drink by the water.

SHOW PREVIEW ALL THE FUN OF THE SHOW

Taking place between the 16-25 September, Mayflower Park in Southampton will once again play host to the biggest on the water boat show in the calendar – the PSP Southampton Boat Show. Now in its 43rd year, the show remains a giant jamboree of all that is good and great about boating. Visitors will be able to drool over the on-land boats, fondle the latest kit and clobber, and check out those most important of marine services. Down on the water, you’ll be able to board many of the 1,000 boats spread across the two kilometres of purpose built pontoons, as well as witness some of the fantastic on-water displays and attractions.

Try-a-Boat

ON BOARD AND INVOLVED

Modern shows are not a case of simply walking around and gawping at the lovely and latest offerings. People want more and that means getting interactive. In response to that demand, the 43rd show has a raft of new attractions for this year, in addition to some of the old favourites. Here is a sneak peak at what to expect:

FISHY DISHY (NEW)

It is no secret that the way to a boater’s heart is through their stomach, so it comes as a welcome surprise that one of the show’s new headlining attractions is the new Oyster Festival. Organised by the Shellfish Association of Great Britain, this is the first fishy show in the UK to have oysters from every one of the UK’s 24 producers. The sessions held will feature tuition by top chefs as they woo the crowds with information and demonstrations on how to select and open oysters, how to ensure they are from a sustainable source and most importantly - how to prepare them at home. Make sure you get a front row seat as there will be tastings, but it will be on a first come first served basis - so it is possible good table manners will be thrown to the wind.

THE SEA KITCHEN ‘THEATRE’ (NEW)

Continuing on with galley-centric entertainment, the show’s ‘Sea Kitchen Theatre’ will boast the presence of Michelin-Star chef and fishing fanatic, Shaun Rankin. Shaun will make regular appearances on the theatre’s stage – which will also play host to many other top chefs from the finest eateries in the area. All onlookers are guaranteed to take away tips on the art of enjoying fresh fish at its very best.

Photo: onEdition

TRY-A-BOAT

This returning feature is the big favourite. In association with onthewater.co.uk, visitors will again be given the chance to get out on the water to test the boat of their choice. A fine selection of sailing boats, RIBs and powerboats will be on hand to sample, and addressing the fact that last year you had to be there at the show’s opening to get on a decent boat, this year you can book boatrides in advance. Details can be obtained by purchasing tickets.

BOAT CLINICS (NEW)

Also to be held in the in Solent Hall, nautical stalwarts will be imparting their wisdom across a range of subjects. Speakers are still being added but some of the subjects confirmed include hybrid propulsion, the art of anchoring, weather forecasting, latest electronics and more. There will also be a talk from Project Torpedalo – the guys who will attempt to cross the Atlantic in the most advanced human-powered boat in the world… a high end pedalo.

Leaving December this year, the team aims to break a world record and raise money for charity.

These are only a small selection of the many attractions happening at the show, make sure to check out the show’s website for the full listing of what is going on. www.southamptonboatshow.com

60 PRINCESS

One of the many pleasures of the Southampton show is being given the opportunity to clamber on board some of the most luxurious motorboats in the world. There will be a host of beautiful behemoths at the show, including the new Princess 60.

Princess say she’ll have the agile handling of a sports cruiser, quick acceleration and a fast transition to planning speeds. Inside, her saloon should be bathed in natural sunlight and will contain three en-suite cabins.

The main deck features an aft seating area with low-level furniture, separate dining forward and a well equipped galley to starboard ensuring a highly sociable layout.

Kit and clobber RAYMARINE’S NEW E7 MFD

Moving on to look at some of the kit coming out and top end navigation instrument manufacturer, Raymarine, will be launching a new seven inch (hence ‘e7’) multi-functional display (MFD) at the show. Sporting Bluetooth and wireless connectivity, you can hook up six displays plus accessories, plus stream real time video to groovy devices such as the iPad (one and two) and the iPhone (four and above). Reportedly the device provides a stunning 3D graphics, a high quality of video and is powerful enough to facilitate instantaneous chart redraws – definitely worth checking out.

SCORPION’S NEW SERKET If it’s smaller power you’re after, then have look at the Scorpion’s new RIB, the Serket 87.

Coming in to replace the Serket 85, the new craft will be 8.7 metres long and will have an optional a T-Top bimini as well as a sun pad, integrated rear deck, picnic table, generous storage and a payload capacity of 2800kg.

There is a choice of standard fitted engines – either a pair of Mercury Verado 200hp, or Suzuki 175hp. Both options deliver similar performance and are reportedly well balanced with the RIB. Other options are available by request.

Prices: from £66,500 Stand: C038 Contact: 01590 677080 www.scorpionribs.com

Standard Horizon will be showing off their new space saver – the incredibly compact GX1600E fixed VHF radio. With an ultra-shallow case that measures just 150mm x 90mm x 85mm, the GX1600E can be bracket mounted almost flush against a console or wall where cutting a recess is not desired or possible.

Waypoint navigation features on the new radio, with the capacity to store 100 waypoints. The radio can also display the LAT/LON, SOG/COG and bearing and distance to a waypoint.

The radio provides all DSC functions, including position request and polling.

You can ‘poll’ and display the positions of up to four ships with known MMSI numbers on the screen, plus the set can navigate to a received mayday or polled position using the compass display.

The position can also be shown on a compatible chart plotter via a two-wire NMEA connection.

NAVIGARE’S SUPER SNEAKER

Bored of typical boat shoes? Well you might want to look into Navigare, one of Helly Hansen’s most fashion-forward footwear styles to date.

Forming part of Helly Hansen’s ever-growing collection of technical and lifestyle clothing, the vulcanised canvas sneaker subtly shows Helly Hansen’s continued commitment to safety by featuring a Helly Hansen flotation logo emblazoned on the ankle, teamed with reflective elements on the heel.

The Navigare is suitable for everyday wear, whether in the city or onboard your boat. It combines a contemporary and stylish design with an array of bright colourways, guaranteed to enhance even the dullest of winter outfits.

Moving on to wind power, and the Arcona 410 is reportedly the perfect balance between a modern cruiser and a racer.

A comfortable and easily handled yacht, the Arcona 410 has been designed and built by a team devoted to making sure that ‘quality built into every detail.’

The 410’s hull, deck and inner liner have been produced with an infusion method, which should guarantee optimal weight, strength and quality. High stability is attained with a composite keel (steel fin with lead bulb), which has been optimised to maximise lift and minimise drag.

Her sail-plan has a non-overlapping headsail and, in relative terms, a slightly larger mainsail than previous models – a combination that should both ease handling and keep costs down.

SMALL AT SEA JUST FOR KIDS

DO YOU KNOW YOUR ABC? YOU are probably very good at your A, B, C but did you know that when you are out sailing there are lots of different ways of saying the alphabet?

Firstly there is the phonetic alphabet.

This is really useful for when you are talking to someone on the radio and you have to spell things out. Using the phonetic alphabet means there is no confusion on the spelling at the other end.

You could also use flags. Each letter of the alphabet has its very own flag and depending upon the colour and pattern you can work out the letters to make up a word or sentence.

You could also use Semaphor. This is where you can work out what letter is being signalled by the position of

DID YOU KNOW:

In an emergency you need to be able to spell the name of your boat by phonetic alphabet.

Why not practice spelling out your boat name until you can do it without thinking?

the flags. Using flags is a good way to communicate when you are out at sea and can’t use the radio.

Why don’t you learn it and practise with your friends? Try spelling out your name or your friends’ name, or how about the name of your school or sailing club. See if you can guess what each other is saying…

MONTEREY’S newest addition to its popular Cruiser line is the all new 415 IPS Sport Yacht with the explosive performance and outstanding handling that characterises this fine marque.

Cruiser floor plans are spacious with plenty of seating, a cockpit wet bar for entertaining and easy access to the cabin and foredeck. Below deck Monterey’s class and sophistication are unparalleled with cherrywood joinery, cedar lined lockers and granitecoat surfaces - in harmony with superb galley features, practical heads and luxurious sleeping quarters.

Motor Boats Monthly, commenting on value and build quality, said “……. the outright bargain of the bunch must be the Monterey.

While this may not come as a surprise, given it’s the cheapest of our quartet, value for money is about much more than just a low price. This boat delivers great build and some ‘best in class’ features.”.... “making the entire Monterey range that rarest of boating beasts - one that is cheaper than you think” Come and look over our MONTEREY demonstrators at Hamble Point Marina!

BOOKS

AS we head for autumn and shorter days All at Sea focuses on books as reading about boating becomes almost as much fun as getting on the water.

COMPILED BY SAM JEFFERSON

THE WEST COUNTRY SAILING THE DREAM Lyme Bay to the Isles of Scilly

My amazing solo round-the-world voyage

NEW additions to Imray’s excellent and generally very authoritative cruising guides are always welcome, so this guide to the West Country arrived with a delightful pleasing ‘ker-thunk’.

Starting out in Lyme Bay, the guide works its way down the West Country all the way to Penzance, before heading offshore to the Scilly Isles.

On early perusal it all looks highly authoritative and well laid out, as all of these excellent guides are.

After a quick browse through the pages you might find you are seized by an almost uncontrollable desire to abandon your desk, hop aboard your boat and decamp for a lengthy period to some secluded West Country haven.

MIKE Perham’s adventures as an underage single-handed sailor are well documented. Suffice to say that his voyage around the world caused a fair amount of controversy and discussion about where lines should be drawn.

Forget the debate about his age. Sailing around the world solo is a magnificent feat whether contemplating puberty or senility. What is more concerning is that – aside from a few moments of absolute brown trouser terror – how crashingly dull it would be to do it on your own with the minimum amount of stops.

Anyway, this was Perham’s chance to narrate his adventures first hand. It felt as though he was in a tremendous hurry to get the damn thing done and often important events were hurried past in a single line of text.

Nevertheless his love and enthusiasm for sailing and the sea shines brightly. It is also clear that he found sailing around the world without seeing much of it enjoyable and rewarding.

The West Country: Lyme Bay to the Isles of Scilly Author: Carlos Rojas and Susan Kemp-Wheeler Publisher: Imray ISBN: 978-184623-202-2 Price: £29.50

DECORATIVE FUSION KNOTS

THE SALT STAINED BOOK

THIS is the kind of book that no member of the WI should be without. JD Lenzen is clearly some kind of a genius when it comes to crazy knots that would grace any stall at your local bring and buy sale.

JD is a Californian chap who brings a real sense of panache to the subject. Indeed, as the back cover bellows out: The future of decorative knots has arrived!”

You are expecting to see some pretty racy knots within no doubt if you have even the most modest interest in decorative fusion knots, you would not be disappointed.

They are the kind of thing that wizened old mariners in days gone by would have worked on in their off-watches and then presented to their beloved on their return.

JD talks though all manner of different knots and his diagrams and illustrations are all top notch.

Not for everyone but it is a very handy guide if you fancy setting up a stall at a WI bring and buy.

THIS has a target audience in the 10-14 age bracket but can also be enjoyed by adults.

This is Jones’ first novel and although it is clearly aimed there is plenty in the book which appealed to the older reader too. It narrates the travails of our hero, Donny, who has been separated from his hippy mother by social services. There are innumerable twists and a pleasing denouement.

The story leans heavily into the realm of Arthur Ransome and there are frequent name checks throughout.

This is in part inspired by the fact that Ms Jones owns Peter Duck, which was the last yacht that Ransome owned.

The first part of a trilogy, so plenty more to come.

THE MAGIC OF THE SWATCHWAYS AN old favourite, this is the magic of Maurice Griffiths!

He was the legendary editor of Yachting Monthly, a yacht designer of note and all round yachting philanthropist. The Magic of the Swatchways is a distillation of many of his favourite yachting memories and these wistful reminisces have formed the template for many later yachting journalists’ scribblings.

There’s a good reason for this – it’s a cracking good read.

It has plenty of humour, a dash of adventure and a few practical navigational tips as well.

It helps if you have a real love and knowledge of sailing the Thames Estuary and the East Coast, but this is not vital. What is special about this book is not only the wry humour that shines through but also the very real danger of some of the situations that Griffiths found himself on some of his cruises.

He could never be accused of being

some kind of smug, self satisfied know-it-all.

What sets this book apart is his hugely evocative descriptions of life aboard, settled at anchor with the primus stove going and the kettle singing. This depiction of cruising Nirvana is doubtless to blame for hundreds of ill-advised purchases of leaky wooden yachts and ensuing drizzle laden cruises spent choking on paraffin fumes and extinguishing small kerosene stove induced fires.

Despite being a cracking read what seems patently obvious is that being editor of a London-based magazine and a dedicated cruiser didn’t really add up. Some of that sense of frustration seems to seep through the later chapters.

A salutary lesson to us all!

IN THE DRINK

One of the pleasures of boating is a quiet little – responsible – drink

BY PAUL ANTROBUS

Celebrate Trafalgar with a Hardy wine RUM TRAFALGAR dinners next month may deviate from the official date but all will benefit from thoughtful planning for the wines and traditional rum tot.

October 21 is the actual day and 1805 the year of the engagement.

Hardy’s South Australian would be very appropriate. This well known wine was founded in 1853 by Thomas Hardy, a direct relation of Thomas Masterman Hardy, captain of HMS Victory at the famous battle and immortalized in Nelson’s often disputed last words.

Plain Thomas Hardy came from Devon by ship to Adelaide in 1850. After working on farms, a brief spell of gold prospecting provided the money to buy the Bankside estate which he planted with Shiraz and Grenache grapes.

He died in 1912. Succeeding generations expanded their vineyards to all regions of Australia and Hardys quickly became the country’s largest wine producer.

Exports began in 1857 with two hogsheads shipped to Britain.

In 1992, after 139 years as a family business, a merger created RBL Hardy Wines. The family lost effective control but the wines continue to be carefully nurtured.

The Hardy family also became famous Australian yachtsmen. In 1925, Tom Mayfield Hardy, grandson of the founder, was awarded Australia’s first Master Yachtsman certificate.

Sir James ‘Gentleman Jim’ Hardy, the last family member to be in charge, was a sailing Olympian, skippered three America’s Cup attempts and was in the Australia II team for the historic 1983 win.

The Hardys Crest range is a good

place to start: red, white and rosé all priced the same in my local supermarket at £5.40 a70cl bottle, all at 13.5 per cent abv.

The Crest Cabernet Shiraz Merlot is a good rich red, plum, dark cherries and smoky oak tones. The Chardonnay is medium bodied and a pleasant easy drinker with pear and vanilla tones. The rosé is a robust outdoor drinker but not for Trafalgar night.

Hardys Nottage Hill Cabernet Shiraz would be an excellent dinner wine choice. More full bodied, it’s a dry red with cassis and plum flavours, very much of the South Australian slightly earthy character.

Around £5.70 a bottle.

A nice white alternative to Chardonnay is in Hardys Stamp of Australia range; Semillon Sauvignon Blanc about £5.50, crisp, lemony and fruity.

THE ESSENTIAL RUM TOT

PUSSER’S Blue Label at 54.5 per cent abv strength is the nearest you will get to the authentic 100 per cent proof navy rum of the day.

Expect to pay £28.50 a bottle (Nauticalia) but at this strength you can afford to serve modest tots. A 3:1 dilution is recommended.

A bit cheaper at regulation 40 per cent abv is Lamb’s Navy Rum. This claims to be so named for being the RN’s rum of choice when the rum ration still existed and prominently displays the white ensign on the front label. About £13 a bottle.

A BEER, TOO

ST Austell Brewery’s five per cent abv Admiral’s bottle-conditioned Cornish ale fills the bill with its jolly Nelsonian “I see no ships” label. To buy or find stockists go to the St Austell Brewery website.

STORY

THE trip back from Trafalgar under sail was a long one and aboard HMS Victory Nelson’s body was immersed in a barrel of rum – some say it may more likely have been Spanish brandy – to preserve it.

On arrival back at Chatham, the barrel was opened and the rum had disappeared.

This was blamed on the ordinary seamen supplementing their daily rum ration – hence the nick-name ‘Nelson’s Blood’ for a tot of rum.

Rum was first used in the Royal Navy in 1655 to replace beer. One pint a day (half a litre) each, drunk neat. Double rations before a battle and after a victory.

In 1740, the Admiralty decreed that rum should be watered down four parts water to one of rum. This became known as ‘grog’ after the nickname of Vice Admiral Edward Vernon, who wore a coat made of grogram and had declared the new rule.

In those days it was a contemptuous term for an inferior product and not a generic as we sometimes use it today.

As Navy ships became more sophisticated, the Admiralty decided that alcohol and high tech did not mix well and on 31 July 1970, ‘black tot day’, the daily rum issue from the ’pusser’ was ended.

In 1979 Charles Tobias, an entrepreneur and global sailor, acquired the rights and recipe from the Admiralty and in Tortola, BVI, began distilling the Pusser’s Rum that we enjoy today.
