TRACY EDWARDS SCOOPS TROPHY L to R: Kate Johnson (CWL Commercial & Marketing Director), Maiden Crew - Matilda Ajanko, Belinda Henry, Amelia Ralphs, Mary Sutherland and Pamela Guillamón of Lendy. Image: Paul Wyeth/CWL

AT the annual Ladies Day at Lendy Cowes Week Tracy Edwards was announced as the winner of the Ladies Day Trophy at an exclusive evening reception held at Northwood House.

The trophy was introduced for the first time in 2006 to champion the role of women in sailing and the sheer number of female competitors racing at Lendy Cowes Week.

Tracy Edwards is most famously known for entering the first all-female crew in the 1989/90 Whitbread Round the World Race with Maiden. The team went on to win two of the legs and came second in class overall. It was the best result for a British boat since 1977 and the best result for an all-female crew ever. Tracy was awarded the MBE and became

the first woman in its 34 year history to be awarded the Yachtsman of the Year Trophy.

In 2016 Tracy worked tirelessly to rescue Maiden and bring her back to the UK; after an extensive refit Maiden will inspire another generation through a huge global campaign to raise awareness and fundraise for access to education for girls denied this basic human right.

Following a rigorous crew selection process, four women with many thousands of miles of sailing experience will become the permanent members of the new Maiden crew.

They have been preparing the boat for her departure from the Southampton Boat Show for the beginning of her three-year world tour.

Tracy was unable to attend the reception, but the newly announced members of her crew who were attending the reception accepted the trophy on her behalf (see picture on left).

Commenting on the win, Amelia Ralphs said, “We are absolutely honoured to be here accepting it on her behalf. It is just a start of our journey with the Maiden Factor, and again it is such an honour to be considered against all the other nominees this year and also to have been awarded the Ladies Day Trophy. It has been a great day for us. We launched Maiden yesterday and the rig is now in, so it is superb.”

Kate Johnson, CWL’s Commercial & Marketing Director, said: “Tracy is a shining example of what women can achieve. Tracy has such a supportive and inclusive attitude and is an inspiration to many women here at Lendy Cowes Week.

She embodies the spirit that underpins Lendy Ladies Day and is a thoroughly deserving winner. All our congratulations to her.

“I am very encouraged by the increasing levels of female participation and enthusiasm for the regatta, in particular women taking the helm during races, with 103 female helms taking part today, an over 50 per cent increase on last year.”

On the shore Lendy Ladies Day was

HILARY LISTER

RNLI BACK ON BBC THE BBC series Saving Lives at Sea, demonstrating the lifesaving work of the RNLI, is back on our TV screens.

Broadcast on BBC2, the popular documentary series features real rescues carried out by the charity’s lifeboat crews and lifeguards around the UK and Ireland.

From the remote and rugged coastline of Anglesey, to the seaside party town of Brighton, the series gives a unique insight into the lives and work of the charity’s volunteer lifeboat crew members and lifeguards, who rescue thousands of people and save hundreds of lives around our coastline and on the River Thames every year.

Following the huge success of the two previous series, the most recent of which was broadcast last year, this series features more real-life rescue footage, accompanied by heart-warming and

Hilary Lister, the record-breaking quadriplegic sailor, has died at the age of 46. In 2005 she became the first quadriplegic sailor to cross the English Channel.

Hilary created the charity Hilary’s Dream Trust, which aims to help other disabled and disadvantaged adults. www.hilarysdreamtrust.org

emotive testimonials from the volunteer crews, lifeguards and the people they rescue and their families.

Filming took place over the past year, with lifeboat crews and lifeguards carrying special cameras and welcoming filmmakers into their day-to-day life. Rescues from the RNLI’s archives are also revisited, and we get a glimpse into the everyday lives of the thousands of men and women who give up their time to save lives.

Last year alone, RNLI lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland launched over 8,400 times, assisting more than 8,000 people, while the charity’s lifeguards responded to 17,414 incidents and saved the lives of 127 people on some of the UK’s busiest beaches.

Saving Lives at Sea is being shown on BBC Two and will continue throughout September and October.

TITANIC AUCTION

A pocket watch recovered from a man who died when Titanic sank has sold for $57,500 (£44,765). The timepiece belonged to 34-year-old Sinai Kantor, a Russian immigrant who was able to get his wife, Miriam, to a lifeboat before he died. The pocket watch was sold by descendant of the Kantors.

ALL ABOARD

By Jane Hyde WELCOME to our bumper TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show issue of All at Sea. Marking 50 years in 2018, visitors to the show can expect to find lots of anniversary celebrations taking place alongside all the regular favourites plus some new attractions. Turn to page 43 to find out what is happening this year, plus we have new kit and boat highlights, a Q&A with the founders of TheYachtMarket.com and, for those thinking of buying, there is boat buying advice from Boatshed’s Tim Kingston.

One of the largest of its kind in Europe, visitors to this 10 day event can expect to see boats and products from hundreds of global marine brands. If you are going have a fantastic time.

I hope you have had a fabulous summer of boating and, judging by all the photos being sent in for Photo of the Month, many of you have been out and about around the country at regattas, events and generally enjoying time on the water.

Summer might be almost over, but there is still plenty of boating to be done, and that is not just at the boat show. Take a look at the guide at www. allatsea.co.uk for lots of other events taking place this month including Bart’s Bash over 15 – 16 September.

Another exciting event coming up in September is the departure of Maiden from the Southampton Boat Show for the beginning of her three-year world tour. This is the latest exciting

instalment in Maiden’s incredible story, and we will bring you the photos of her departure next month. Expect her and her crew to receive an incredible send off.

To celebrate the latest chapter in the story of Tracy Edwards, who won the Ladies Day Trophy at Cowes Week, and Maiden we have been looking back at their incredible journey on page 40.

The sailors taking part in the Golden Globe Race are having an incredible journey of their own with no-one, not even the leaders, exempt from the inevitable highs and lows a race like this brings.

Philippe Péché, the early leader, has now retired while Are Wiig was in third place when his yacht rolled 360° and dismasted. Thankfully he was not too badly injured, but he too has been forced to retire leaving Ireland’s Gregor McGuckin to take third place (at the time of writing).

Clearly our new prize for letter of the month has got you thinking as we have heard from lots of you this month. This issue’s selection can be found on page 24, but get scribbling and yours could be star letter in October!

We are also delighted to have received a number of your stories, one of which is on page 33. It is the story of one man’s tough dinghy challenge to raise money for charity. Keep sending your stories!

SHOW SET TO DAZZLE

Image: British Marine

EXPECT a packed and busy TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show this month with more than 80 new brands joining the 500 plus exhibitors, as well as around 100 companies increasing the size of their stand or number of berths.

This high-demand has seen the show’s land-based locations completely sold out in record time. Not forgetting the marina, which has been extended to accommodate more on the water activity and retains its title as Europe’s largest purpose-built marina.

Nearly a quarter of the new brands booked have previously exhibited at London (there will be no London Boat Show in 2019). They include Jeckells & Son, A.S.A.P. Supplies, ABC Leisure Group,

ARS Anglian Diesels and Zhik.

Marking its 50th anniversary, the Southampton Boat Show is Britain’s biggest boating festival celebrating the lifestyle, fun and excitement that being on the water has to offer and showcases the latest in marine technology and craft.

Among the world launches this year are Jeanneau’s Cap Camarat 6.5 WA, Merry Fisher 605 Marlin and Sun Odyssey 410. There will also be products debuting from The Boat Club, RIB Shack Marine, Advance Yacht Systems and August Race.

Regardless of age or experience, there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved.

This year’s event will offer new interactive features for visitors, including attractions from the National

Oceanography Centre, a heritage museum and kayak assault course Image: British Marine challenge.

Plus there will be the show’s very own Festival Green, a brand new foodie and live entertainment area housing the famous Guinness Bar, a live entertainment stage and an enhanced social experience.

Rounding off the summer, the Southampton Boat Show promises to be the perfect way to conclude the season with plenty of opportunities to buy, unwind and catch up with friends.

NEW DIRECTION FOR BARRUS E.P. Barrus Ltd has entered the UK chandlery market following the signing of an exclusive distribution agreement for Talamex, a uniformly branded range of more than 3,500 chandlery items, and Besto Lifesavers.

E.P. Barrus tells us this is the first step in establishing a portfolio to become a leading distributor in the chandlery and aftermarket sector.

The line-up includes a mix of technical and non-technical products suitable for sailing boats, motorboats and inflatables.

Besto Lifesavers, meanwhile, offers a comprehensive range of high-quality lifejackets and buoyancy aids for both the leisure and professional user.

The Talamex and Besto Lifesavers line-up will join the Attwood range of products that Barrus currently distributes and opens a new avenue for a company already well known for

distributing a portfolio of marine brands which includes Mercury and Yanmar engines, Mariner outboard motors and Quicksilver boats.

E.P. Barrus Ltd has also reached an agreement with SailForce, who will represent Talamex and Besto Lifesaver as part of Barrus’ new Chandlery Distribution Division.

“The addition of Talamex to our portfolio offers a complete single brand chandlery range that no other supplier can currently compete with, and along with the innovative Besto Lifesaver products and Barrus as our partner it will be a winning combination for the success of the brands in the UK,” said Tony Power SailForce Senior Partner.

E.P. Barrus has over 100 years’ experience in distributing products across multiple industry sectors and over 75 years within the marine industry.

The announcement last year of a new 17-acre site further enhances Barrus’ potential in this sector.

“This is just phase one as we continue to talk with other manufacturers about distribution opportunities,” said Ben Allen, General Manager for the Marine Leisure Division E.P. Barrus.

Talamex and Besto Lifesaver products will be available from Barrus in October. www.barrus.co.uk

“We love the Southampton Boat Show,” Dean said: “It is a great opportunity to touch base with our members and hear about their marina and cruising experiences. Plus, we enjoy meeting those who have not stayed with us before, finding out about their sailing adventures, plans and letting them know all about the benefits of becoming part of the MDL family.

“We are also really looking forward to sharing more information about the great work we are doing with the Blue Marine Foundation, the Ocean Youth Trust South and our Sail Training Awards.” www.mdlmarinas.co.uk

REGATTA TO GET KIDS OUT ON THE WATER DOZENS of young people who have faced tough personal challenges will get the chance to experience the thrill of sailing this September thanks to TheYachtMarket.com.

They will get the unique chance to sail on board a fleet of Sunsail Match First 40s on 18 September as part of TheYachtMarket.com Regatta in The Community Cup. During their day of adventure they will learn about teamwork, safety on the water and how a sail boat works. The event will sit alongside

TheYachtMarket.com Regatta’s other racing days: The City Cup, The Women’s Cup and The Property Cup. Lesley Robinson, CEO of British Marine, has welcomed the initiative.

She said: “We are thrilled to see TheYachtMarket.com creating opportunities for young people to get out on the water. We will be running several on the water activities inside TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show, so we are excited to hear there will be even more going on outside the show gates.”

MYSTERY SOLVED?

According to Mark Hodge writing for The Sun, the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle could be solved by 100ft rogue waves in the waters between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto-Rico. Experts at the University of Southampton say three massive storms coming together from different directions create the perfect conditions for a rogue wave.

Sail Aid UK, which was set up after last September’s hurricanes Irma and José that swept through the Leeward Islands, is keen to hear from any organisation needing help with funding regeneration and repair projects.

PUTTING THE BLUE BACK INTO BLUEBIRD THE restoration of British speedboat racer Donald Campbell’s Bluebird, a recordbreaking hydroplane, has been ongoing since the wreckage of the vessel was recovered in 2001.

However it was only when the iconic blue paint was applied that the famous Bluebird really came back to life.

Bill Smith, leader of the Bluebird restoration project, explained: “We spent 10 years being supplied with samples of nearly, but not-quite, versions of Bluebird blue - RAL 5009 - however it was not until we uncorked our tins of Perfection Pro that we actually clapped eyes on her true colour.”

Bluebird crashed on Coniston Water in 1967. Donald Campbell was attempting to break his own water speed record of 276mph when he was killed.

Decades later, diver and enthusiast Bill Smith took a keen interest in the story. He conducted extensive searches over a period of four years and was finally able to find and then salvage the wreckage in 2001. Together with a team of volunteers, he has led the project to lovingly restore Bluebird at a workshop in the North East of England.

Although several AkzoNobel products were chosen for the restoration process, it was AkzoNobel’s International brand which provided the exact match for Bluebird’s famous colour.

“I am very proud that we are able to be part of this incredible restoration project,” said Chris Panton, Area Sales Manager, AkzoNobel Cromadex Newcastle.

Now, 50 years after the legendary Donald Campbell died trying to break his own water speed record, Bluebird made a triumphant return to the water this summer. The Bluebird K7 has hit speeds of around 150mph during tests in Scotland but Bill Smith said any attempts to break speed records would be “incredibly foolish” given the boat’s history. Spectators looked on as the hydroplane sped down the loch, following ear-splitting tests of the jet engine.

A large fire has destroyed an engineering workshop at Holyhead Marina. This is the latest incident to hit the marina after being struck by Storm Emma in March.

There were no injuries as a result of the fire, although there was heat damage to some nearby properties.

Holyhead Port said the fire did not affect its operations.

The blaze broke out just after 9pm, and initial alerts suggested the lifeboat station itself was on fire. However, it was quickly realised it was the building adjacent to the station, Trinity Marine, which is immediately next to the building housing the town’s inshore lifeboat Mary and Archie Hooper.

In perhaps a fortunate coincidence, some members of the crew were in the nearby sailing club, and so they were on scene immediately.

A quick decision was made to enter the lifeboat ‘shed’ and try and bring the ILB to safety, along with the RNLI

tractor and Land Rover. Despite the increasing inferno, the crew faced black smoke and quickly managed to get all three vehicles safely to a grassy area nearby, as firefighters arrived and started to tackle the blaze.

Within minutes, the flames were more than 30ft high, and a crowd was gathering to witness the fire for themselves.

Miraculously, the inshore lifeboat house was relatively untouched, apart from broken windows, and some heat damage to the fenders which were being stored there after Storm Emma.

The lifeboat station house itself suffered some smoke and heat damage; in particular windows, which were thought to be the original windows of the Grade II listed building, were shattered, and blinds were damaged, looking as though they had been dangerously close to setting alight. Other items inside the building suffered smoke damage.

FOLLOWING the conclusion of Laser, Laser Radial and 49erFX fleet racing at the Hempel Sailing World Championships, the first nations in those fleets have booked their spot at Tokyo 2020.

Great Britain earned a place in each discipline, which no other nation achieved. The World Championships is the principal qualification event for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games with 101 places, 40 per cent of the total quota

in the 10 Olympic sailing disciplines, up for grabs. At the World Championships Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre won bronze in the women’s 470, and Sophie Weguelin and Sophie Ainsworth matched it in the 49er FX class.

The British Sailing Team will now look to solidify their position at the top of the world rankings at the first Olympic test event to be held at the Tokyo 2020 sailing venue Enoshima from 9 – 16 September. tokyo2020.org

FAREWELL

The RYA has written to the Union Internationale Motonautique, the international federation for Powerboat Racing, to inform them that it will no longer act as national authority for powerboat racing in the UK from 1 January 2019.

This decision has been taken by the RYA’s Board following a review of the status of the sport and an evaluation of the risks and responsibilities associated with acting as the national authority.

The board has been monitoring the situation closely since the implementation of the Cardy report in 2015/16, and following the 2017 season determined that the situation was no longer sustainable long-term.

The Board concluded that the financial, safety and reputational challenges presented are disproportionate to the number of clubs and competitors now actively racing. It considers that it is no longer in the best interests of the RYA’s membership as a whole to continue to act as the governing body.

FIGHTER JET TRIALS ROYAL Navy aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, has departed from her home port of Portsmouth, bound for the USA to land fast jets on deck for the first time.

Eight years since a British aircraft carrier last flew a fast jet from her decks, the 65,000-tonne carrier will embark two F-35B test aircraft, from the Integrated Test Force, based out of Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland.

The aim of these initial or ‘developmental’ trials are to ascertain, through the specially equipped aircraft and sensors around the ship, the operating parameters of the aircraft and

ship, in a range of conditions. Similar successful trials were conducted by HMS Queen Elizabeth at sea earlier this year for Rotary Wing aircraft.

The deployment, known as ‘WESTLANT 18’, will be the first-time HMS Queen Elizabeth will have sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.

Commanding Officer, Capt Jerry Kyd said: “This deployment will be another first for my ship. Crossing a major ocean with 1,500 sailors, aircrew and Marines embarked and the spectre of the first F-35B Lightning landing on the deck in September is very exciting for us all.”

SCALLOP WAR BRITISH and French fishermen hit the headlines after clashing over scallops in the English Channel.

Although the UK boats are permitted to fish in the area, the French fishermen have accused them of depleting shellfish stocks. At present British boats can gather scallops all year, but French law restricts their scallop fishing season to 1 October - 15 May. The British boats, numbering five, were hugely outnumbered by the 40 or so French fishing boats.

Although stones were being thrown and boats collided, there were no reports of

injuries. There were, however, damaged windows on two UK boats.

The BBC reported that Ingrid Parrot, a local government spokesperson in France, said: “Things were thrown on both sides - from the English and from the French. Both parties were extremely tense.”

Barrie Deas, chief executive of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations said: “We have raised the matter with the British government and asked for protection for our vessels, which are fishing legitimately.”

MADE IN CROATIA WHEN the summer series of reality show Made in Chelsea returned to E4 it featured the cast relaxing on board The Moorings 514 power catamaran (514PC).

Made in Chelsea’s summer holiday got off to a perfect start, skippered by a professional captain, taking in the stunning coastline and crystal clear waters of Croatia. Miles Nazaire, Sophie Habboo (Habbs),

Tabitha Willett, Sam Thompson, Harry Baron and Melissa Tattam were all on board to enjoy the luxurious cat.

INVITATIONS OPEN FOR 2022 GGR JEAN-Luc Van Den Heede was first to round Cape of Good Hope, the first of three major milestones in the 30,000 mile solo non-stop Golden Globe Race.

Jean-Luc rounded the Cape 34 days ahead of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston’s record aboard his ketch-rigged yacht Suhaili 50 years ago.

At the time of writing second and third place are held by Mark Slats and Gregor McGuckin respectively while Britain’s Susie Goodall is sixth.

There are 11 sailors remaining in the race while Francesco Cappelletti is a Carozzo sailor. Before retiring French yachtsman Philippe Péché had led the Golden Globe Race almost continuously since the start from Les Sables d’Olonne on 1 July.

There are now six retirees alongside Péché including Britain’s Ertan Beskardes and France’s Antoine Cousot.

Although we are gripped by this race, many are already looking to the next one; Applications for an invitation to compete in the 2022 Golden Globe Race are now available, four years ahead of the start.

A new Class of strict One Design steel replicas of Bernard Moitessier’s famous Golden Globe yacht JOSHUA has been added for the next edition, joining the current traditional long-keeled yachts of between 32-36ft in the SUHAILI Class.

There will be an overall line honours trophy and individual class winners.

Events start in a UK port on 15 August 2022 when GGR entrants assemble ahead of a SITraN Challenge Race bound for a port in France, starting on 21 August. This date commemorates the anniversary of French legend Bernard Moitessier setting off in the original Sunday Times Golden Globe from Plymouth on 22 August, 1968.

The Golden Globe Race will start from a port in France on 11 Sept 2022.

Don McIntyre, the GGR race founder and race chairman said: “With hundreds of enquiries from sailors around the world interested in the 2022 Golden Globe Race, we need to give early notice of our plans.

“The 2018 Golden Globe has just begun, yet some 70 sailors are looking seriously at entering the 2022 race already. These men and women from countries across the globe have been inspired by the core values of this very special adventure and recreation of the original GGR 50 years ago.”

“The addition of a JOSHUA Class sailed in new one-design steel replicas is an exciting prospect that may attract a new class of sailor who prefers to buy new, rather than go through the sometimes expensive and lengthy refit on an older boat.” said Don.

“This is quite apart from the challenge of sailing in the footsteps of Bernard Moitessier. I am looking forward to sailing one in 2022!”

Whilst the proven formula of the 2018 Notice of Race will remain substantially unchanged, there are some additions for

this third running of the Golden Globe.

Sailors must have completed at least 4,000 ocean sailing miles before applying for an invitation to compete and there will be an entry limit of seven sailors from any one country. goldengloberace.com

CARDIFF’S ACT

Having climbed the ranks throughout the Extreme Sailing Series™ Cardiff Act, Alinghi seized victory from the clutches of SAP Extreme Sailing Team on the final day of the event. It is the first time the Swiss have won in Cardiff in the six years that they have competed in the Welsh capital. INEOS Rebels UK finished in fourth, where they are also positioned in the overall standings ahead of the next event in San Diego from 18 - 21 October.

MUSEUM OPENS

The Classic Boat Museum’s yachts, motor and lifeboats are now open to view in Cowes. The shed required extensive work to ensure it was watertight and safe for the public, but the first stage is now complete. Opening on Tuesdays and Fridays, the museum provides visitors with a voyage of discovery mapping out the history of the Isle of Wight and Cowes through its marine heritage. Displays include the 2017 America’s Cup test catamaran sailed by Sir Ben Ainslie. www.classicboatmuseum.com

AFTER leading the regatta from start to finish INEOS TEAM UK took their first event win at the GC32 Racing Tour’s 37 Copa del Rey. The British flying catamaran secured the overall win with a race to spare, despite this being just the second ever GC32 Racing Tour event for Sir Ben Ainslie’s America’s Cup team.

Of the 19 fast foiling races in the regatta the team won five races alongside consistently placing podium finishes, never dropping off the top spot on the scoreboard. They came away with 46 points - nine points clear of Franck Cammas’ second placed NORAUTO. Tactician, Giles Scott said: “It has been a great performance by the team and great to get the win here in Palma. In the end we managed to win the regatta with a race to spare, which is always nice.”

INEOS TEAM UK team principal and skipper, Sir Ben Ainslie, was the first to congratulate the team, saying: “It is a fantastic result for the team as we build up our sailing squad for the AC36.”

The crew were again trialling a new line-up following their podium finish in Portugal. Former GC32 Racing Tour Champion, Leigh McMillan, came in as helm with new INEOS TEAM UK recruit, Joey Newton - a two times America’s Cup winner - making his debut for the team as jib trimmer. The final change saw Australian Luke Parkinson trimming the mainsail. 2016 Finn Olympic gold medallist, Giles Scott resumed the role of tactician and 2017 Red Bull Youth America’s Cup Champion, Neil Hunter completed the line-up as float.

Giles added: “We will rotate the crew again for the next event, for example I will not be in Sardinia and Ben [Ainslie] will come back in as helm; we are utilising the GC32 Racing Tour as a way to try different crew combinations and gel the team in a competitive fleet and that strategy is clearly working.”

The 2018 GC32 Racing Tour continues with the GC32 Villasimius Cup (12 - 16 September) followed by the season finale, the GC32 TPM Med Cup (10 - 14 October).

HAVE YOUR SAY MEMBERS of the boating community are being encouraged to ‘have their say’ on the Maritime & Coastguard Agency’s new Code of Practice for Intended Pleasure Vessels and its supporting Guidance Notices as well as some new Exemptions.

The public consultation runs until 26 September. The Code of Practice, which will be introduced on 1 January 2019, addresses temporary commercial use either for business purposes or as a race support boat.

The MCA is urging the boating community to read through the proposals on how they plan to make the water a safer place for everyone while giving the opportunity to legitimately operate commercially on a temporary basis for certain activities. The IPV Code team will be available to discuss the new framework at a series of key dates throughout TheYachtMarket. com Southampton Boat Show.

Additionally, the MCA is replacing Marine Guidance Notice 538 on Pleasure Vessels which introduces

exemptions that mark a significant positive step for the Pleasure Vessel manufacturing sector in the UK and phases out the use of ORC liferafts.

RYA Cruising Manager, Stuart Carruthers, said: “The Introduction of the IPV Code and the guidance for owners to provide race support activities for a yacht or powerboat race is a very positive step and provides a much-needed solution to a number of problems that race organisers and support staff have struggled with in the past.

“In addition, the application of the IPV Code to vessels used at sea on a single-voyage basis by owners, brokers, surveyors and repairers for business purposes relating to sale, repair, post-repair or mid-survey sea trials, customer sea trials and for vessel delivery in connection with the business purpose is also welcomed. It is very much to RYA members’ advantage for this code and associated MGNs to be adopted.” www.gov.uk/government/consultations/intendedpleasure-vessel-ipv-code-pleasure-vessel-exemptions

THE 2021-22 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race will feature two classes of boats, the IMOCA 60 and the VO65 class with two trophies being awarded.

Each class has its distinct characteristics, and the inclusion of both is designed to make the race more open and inviting

to sailors and designers as well as more engaging to fans.

The IMOCA 60 is a design-driven, foilassisted monohull at the cutting edge of technology. Perhaps best known for its use in short-handed races like the Vendée Globe or Route du Rhum, the class will be

POWERING AHEAD WHEN Peter White began training powerboaters on the south coast back in 1993 he soon discovered that their thirst for knowledge, experience and adventure meant he had the nucleus of a powerboat club, and under his chairmanship Seafever Powerboat Club

adapted by leading yacht designers to accommodate a full offshore crew.

In contrast, the VO65 is the one-design offshore racing boat that was used in the last two editions of the race. The 2017-18 edition, won by Dongfeng Race Team, was the closest in the 45-year history of the event, in large part due to the strict one-design racing which equalised the performance potential of the boats.

“By opening the next race to the IMOCA 60 and the VO65, we intend to attract the very best sailors, designers and teams in the world to take up the challenge of competing in the pinnacle fully-crewed around the world race,” said Johan Salén, co-owner of the event.

“The introduction of the IMOCA 60 brings a design and engineering element to the race that keeps us at the cutting edge of technology and performance and will be appealing to the most competitive performers in our sport.

The VO65 class will have a strong orientation towards youth, building on the experience of the most recent edition, which featured a talented crop of sailors taking on the challenge of the race for the first time, including several Olympic medallists and America’s Cup winners.

“This is where the stars of tomorrow are born,” Salén said. “We want to encourage teams to give opportunities to younger crew, in order to bring some of the top talent from smaller boats, for example, into the offshore world.”

The next edition of the race will start from Alicante, Spain in September/October 2021, and finish in Europe in May/June of 2022.

The Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18 finished on 30 June with fans enjoying the close finish, with three teams starting the final leg in a dead heat for the race win.

Charles Caudrelier’s Dongfeng Race Team became the first Chinese-flagged team to win the race over Xabi Fernández and his Spanish MAPFRE crew; their second place result was the best ever for a Spanish team.

Bouwe Bekking’s Team Brunel completed the podium on his eighth attempt at the title.

Chris Short, who is organising the event, said: “We hope that we can find

CO2 CONSULTATION A public consultation on a proposal to introduce mandatory new Boat Safety Scheme Requirements for carbon monoxide alarms on boats will run until 9 November 2018.

The suggested change sees a fundamental shift recognising that CO poisoning, a silent unseen killer, could affect boat owners and crews from sources of CO generated outside of the boat by others such as the use of engines and appliances on adjacent boats.

The proposed mandatory new BSS Requirements will see checks introduced for suitable CO alarms

in good condition and in suitable locations on all classes of boat with accommodation spaces.

The additional recognised benefit is the anticipated effectiveness of CO alarms in preventing death or injury to boat owners placed at risk in their own boats from running the boat’s engines or appliances.

Alarms can also serve to alert craft occupants to moderate levels of CO, which can be a long-term threat to health if left undetected.

The BSS will produce a summary of the views expressed in the

consultation and the BSS responses by 21 December. The mandatory new BSS Requirements are intended to come into effect from January 2019 and implemented as BSS Checks on 1 April 2019. www.boatsafetyscheme.org/ alarmconsulation2018 www.boatsafetyscheme.org/co

CHARITY AWARD

Sailors’ Society has been shortlisted for charity of the year and will compete against six other organisations at the Charity Times Awards in London on 3 October.

The charity works internationally to provide practical, emotional and spiritual welfare support to the world’s 1.6m seafarers, regardless of background or faith. Stuart Rivers, Sailors’ Society’s CEO, said: “It is fantastic to be recognised for such a prestigious award, especially in the charity’s 200th year.” In further new from the charity, Sailors’ Society is calling on people to share their memories of the sea to highlight our connection and dependence on the sea. Stuart Rivers, Sailors’ Society’s CEO, said: “Whether you spent childhood holidays at the beach, or have made a career out of working at sea, we would love to hear and share your stories.” www.theseaandme.org

CHARITY GETS EXPANSION GO-AHEAD UKSA, the charity that uses sailing and watersports as a catalyst to transform young people’s lives, has received planning permission to upgrade its facilities in Cowes.

It will now be able to start planning the build of flexible, modular, modern accommodation to be able to meet future needs for students.

“This will improve our efficiency and the experience of all our students during their stay,” said Ben Willows, UKSA CEO. The Princess Royal launched the Capital Investment Programme last year, and following early commitments from campaign patrons Whirlwind Charitable

Trust, North Sails, Oakley Capital, Lister Charitable Trust and Ocean Family Foundations UKSA has been able to fasttrack fundraising efforts.

The capital programme will take place over the next three to four years. This plan will rationalise and remodel the facilities, while providing more sports and community opportunities for local people. The first milestone in the delivery of the programme is the renovation of the disused Cowes Youth Centre and Sports Hall for UKSA students and the local island community.

The aim for the next stage of the programme is to begin the construction

of the new accommodation and training facility in winter 2019.

“The new facility is expected to cost £3.5 million. We are making steady progress towards achieving this goal, including raising £850,000 in grants and

commitments towards the programme before planning permission was secured.

Now that planning permission is confirmed, we hope to accelerate our fundraising efforts further,” said Ben. https://uksa.org/capitalcampaign/

RUSSIAN WARSHIPS IN CHANNEL TYPE 45 destroyer HMS Diamond shadowed two Russian warships as they passed through the English Channel.

The Portsmouth-based ship sailed from Dover to monitor the Russian destroyer Severomorsk and cruiser Marshal Ustinov.

Commander Ben Keith, the Commanding Officer of HMS Diamond, said: “HMS Diamond is proud to once again be playing her part in protecting the UK by monitoring these vessels on their transit.”

The Udaloy-class destroyer Severomorsk and Slava-class cruiser Marshal Ustinov had finished taking part in the Russian Navy Days event in the Baltic port of St Petersburg.

As the ships entered the busy shipping lanes between Norfolk and continental Europe, Diamond manoeuvred into formation alongside them and made

them aware of her presence. The ships were then escorted towards the Dover strait, one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.

HMS Diamond continued to monitor the ships until they left the UK area of interest.

Bohaetmoof nth FRAUDSTER JAILED FOR BOAT ‘THEFT’ CLAIM t

Image: bortn66/Shutterstock

A fraudster who made a bogus insurance claim for a ‘stolen’ speedboat has been sentenced to six months in prison – after he was caught on camera towing it away.

Kieran Andrew Kearny, of Ffordd y Blaenau, Treuddyn, in Wales, insured his

boat with Navigators and General for £13,000 before reporting to police that it had been stolen.

When insurers investigating the claim became suspicious, they contacted the police, who discovered the boat – a Cranchi 21 Star - at the home of his former partner.

Mold Crown Court heard how Kearny, 33, claimed he had found the boat himself and moved it to his former partner’s home but had not yet got around to telling police.

Kearney’s story unravelled, however, after he was caught on number plate recognition cameras towing away the boat with his Ford Ranger.

Maria Cospito, Head of Navigators and General, owned by Zurich Insurance, said: “While the vast majority of claims we receive are legitimate, and we pay them promptly, insurers have a duty to detect bogus or exaggerated claims, which drive up premiums for honest customers.”

Maria added: “Although this was a fraudulent claim, we help about

HOW COMMON IS BOAT THEFT?

Top tips to prevent boat theft  If you store your boat on a trailer, use a wheel clamp or hitch lock and for extra security, consider removing one of the wheels

 Where possible, keep you boat out of sight – storing it under a cover can help ensure attention is not drawn to it  Invest in high quality locks for hatches and cabin doors to make your boat harder to break in to  Painting dinghies in unusual colours or patterns can make them more easily recognisable and a less attractive target  List serial number including hull and engine numbers and take a photo of your boat to show the authorities, should the need arise · Never leave keys in the ignition when not needed and always lock your boat when not on board

25 customers every year who have genuinely had their boat stolen, paying out an average of £10,700 in each case.”

Kearney was charged with two counts of fraud for falsely claiming the boat had been stolen and for hiding

his previous convictions when taking out the policy. Judge Huw Rees jailed him for an additional six months consecutive to a 27 month prison sentence he is already serving for other crimes. His boat was seized by police under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Yacht and motorboat insurer Navigators and General deals with an average 25 legitimate claims for stolen vessels every year. Over the last five years, the insurer has helped almost 130 customers whose boats have been stolen, paying out an average of £10,700 in each case. Thefts have fallen over the last five years, from a high of 35 in 2013 to 17 last year.

OYSTER SALE

Oyster Yachts has made its first sale under its new ownership and management team. The Oyster 745 model, bought by an existing Oyster boat owner, will be the first yacht to be moulded and completed in Oyster’s recently re-opened Saxon Wharf ship yard. It is due to be launched in 2020. Oyster Yachts is also working with Humphreys Yacht Design to develop a new smaller Oyster boat due to be launched in a year, announced CCO Paul Adamson.

PUNT RETURNS HOME A traditional punt, based on photographs dating back over one hundred years and hand-crafted by The Beautiful Boat Company in Lyme Regis, has launched at Hestercombe, near Taunton, in Somerset.

The painstaking process of returning a punt to the Pear Pond began when Philip White MBE, CEO of the Hestercombe Gardens Trust, discovered six photographs of a punt from about 1904. The punt was named Constance after the Hon Mrs Portman who is in the original photo.

Philip explained: “I asked a boatbuilder about these photographs some years ago who said it was an unusual punt; shorter and deeper than most estate or lake punts and finely built in the Thames tradition.

Ever since I have wanted to see a punt back on the Pear Pond. We suspect the one in the photographs was sold at the estate sale in 1951.”

A chance meeting between Philip and Simon Olszowski, a founding Director of

The Beautiful Boat Company, established by graduates of Lyme Regis’ Boat Building Academy, led to the punt’s commission.

Yvonne Green, Principal of the Boat Building Academy when all four members of The Beautiful Boat Company studied there, said: “She is a beautiful and interesting boat.

The talented team of builders have produced a boat faithful to the original design with photographs as their primary reference. It is marvellous that the boat is for Hestercombe, only 35 miles from where the members of The Beautiful Boat Company trained.”

Philip added: “We are delighted to be bringing back the Hestercombe punt, after 110 years. We hope it will allow the gardens to be seen from a different perspective, as those in the 18th century would have been able to enjoy it. This offers a new and exciting way to view Hestercombe’s unique landscape.” www.hestercombe.com www.thebeautifulboatcompany.co.uk

TEST BOAT TAKES TO THE WATER INEOS TEAM UK, the British Challenger for the 36th America’s Cup, has released the first official images of their test boat, known as T5, a small scale foiling mono-hull.

No team’s full-size race boat can be launched before the 31 March 2019, under the America’s Cup rules.

The boat began sailing in late June and has sailed regularly from the team’s Portsmouth base through the summer.

“Sailing T5 is an important part of the learning process with this new concept,” said Ben Ainslie.

Grant Simmer, INEOS TEAM UK CEO, was keen to stress this is only the start of a long process of design and development in the build up to the America’s Cup in 2021.

“We know the other teams will not be that far behind us and we must keep pushing harder than ever. This is a good start and is a real credit to the whole team.”

YOUR LETTERS GOING ELECTRIC? Hello Simon, IT was very refreshing reading your article ‘powering ahead’, specifically the part about going electric. I would class myself as an ‘environmentalist’, but I have had the same views as you about electric cars/boat engines.

As you say, the electric has to be generated and then sent along lossy power cables to charge the batteries. Lithium is short in supply and most of it is in China. There is a lot of pollution produced by mining and smelting. Plus these batteries only have a limited life and then need to be re-cycled which is not straightforward.

On the car front, I buy second hand cars and run them for at least 10 years. My last car cost £1,200 and has many miles left in it. I would be willing to bet, if I also bought a cheap (£15,000) electric car, my old car would outlast the batteries in the new one. By running my 10-year-old car, it has not needed to be re-manufactured and so has cut pollution. A small petrol engine produces a small amount of pollution, but how much compared to scrapping it and building a new one?

I noticed in your newspaper an injected two stroke engine (75 per cent less pollution). I think the whole business of electric vehicles needs a grown up debate and meaningful research. The government want to be popular to get votes and so are rushing in legislation for electric power, but the technology is not there yet.

Plus on a personal note, how can I afford a second hand electric car in the future?! I think there are too many humans; that is why the planet is suffering, but I am sure many will protest!

Kim Thank you for your letter in response to my column on electric powered vehicles. I think we are probably in the minority, but too many people are simply jumping on the bandwagon and falling for the marketing hype that is being perpetrated in an attempt to appear ecologically orientated. Their sentiment is sound, but the practise is far from it.

As you intimate, the real problem is population growth. In the last 120 years the population of the planet has grown from

Hi AAS, I have been reading your latest Green Blue with interest. While I support, as a boater, doing my bit to help the environment it seems a huge effort for recreational boaters to Check, Clean, Dry when large ships could not possibly be doing this. Or are they? It would be interesting to know how larger vessels deal with this problem and the RYA’s viewpoint.

Thanks for a great read.

Harry Pointer

STAR LETTER

about 1.5 billion to 7.3 billion, that is a six fold increase in just five generations. It cannot be sustained and electrically powered vehicles will not solve that underlying problem.

In fact, unbeknown to the majority, they are actually contributing to it. I do not think we need to worry in our lifetime, but our children are certainly going to see some massive upheavals. Let us hope they can enjoy the water as much as we have done!

LONDON BOAT SHOW

A WATERPROOF DRY TUBE BAG

Dear All at Sea, Regarding the London Boat Show, exhibitor charges were much too dear, organisers etc had no idea. Some years back a boat business from Inverness who I knew very well stopped going as they said it was too dear and not cost effective. I only went for the social aspect of meeting old friends. It needs a huge rethink, more stalls for the little people, sensible prices for exhibitors…

Ian Rees Thank you for your thoughts about the London Boat Show. There is currently no news on whether the show will return for 2020, but we hope it is not the last we have seen of London’s show. As you say, changes would need to be made for both exhibitors and visitors, and so we would be interested to hear further suggestions from readers as to how it could be made more appealing.

CHECK, CLEAN, DRY

WE love to hear your opinions, comments, stories and letters, whether it is something you have come across on your sailing trips, a top tip for other readers or a comment about something you have read in All at Sea. The winner of the letter of the month will win a fantastic 40 litre waterproof dry tube worth £29.99 from OverBoard!

Dear Harry, Thank you for your interest in our recent article in AAS. It is great to have another boat owner keen to make their boating more sustainable.

With regards to your query, indeed it is far easier for craft and equipment that is regularly recovered from the water to undergo the Check, Clean and Dry approach to removing invasive species before leaving a site. There are still actions that larger vessels such as yachts and motor cruisers can do; I have outlined this below and hope it will support you in adopting best practice.

Larger ships have to abide by the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments. Please visit the World Shipping Council website and view information on this and ballast water controls for more details. It is, however, difficult to follow the Check Clean Dry approach to removing invasive species, but this approach was designed for craft that are able to do this.

With regard to larger vessels such as yachts and motor cruisers it becomes a little more difficult to clean certain parts (e.g. the hull) and capture biofouling so it does not enter the water. If a vessel is in situ and it is difficult to access the hull or props, for example, to remove and capture biofouling then antifoul plays an important role in ensuring that invasive species do not attach.

Therefore best practice here is to ensure antifoul is renewed annually and maintained. Then it is recommended that these vessels are lifted from the water and biofouling removed, captured and disposed of in general waste. It is important that the

biofouling does not re-enter the aquatic environment where possible.

Most marinas have a lift out and wash down facility which captures biofouling and antifoul residue when vessels are power washed and biofouling scraped off. This debris is captured in a tank and removed annually for disposal by waste contractors.

For venues that do not have a wash down facility due to various barriers e.g. cost, space etc. it is important that best practice is adopted and communicated where possible. For example when boat owners have their boats lifted they remove any visible biofouling, capture it (placed in a bucket/container or on tarpaulin) and then disposed of in general waste bins or at a local household waste centre.

Cleaning of equipment e.g. fenders, anchor, ropes, rudder, outboard engine, dinghy etc. that can be accessed/removed can be achieved more often and easily. This equipment should be checked for visible biofouling before leaving one destination or waterbody and biofouling removed and put into a bucket until it can be disposed of in onshore waste bins. Then where possible equipment cleaned with fresh water, then dried or air dried for as long as possible as this removes any species that cannot be seen by the eye.

Our guidance for boat owners on Invasive Species and best practice can be found in ‘The Green Guide to Coastal Boating’ on our website along with many other topic areas and best practice advice.

POWERING AHEAD SIMON EVERETT ROUNDS UP THIS MONTH’S ENGINE NEWS. WITH the Southampton Boat Show taking place this month there is plenty to be optimistic about. The British marine industry is still a leader in its field with innovation and ideas being put into practice both here and overseas.

Of course our boat builders generally use imported engines, but news of a British engine manufacturer has come to the fore with a brand new complex built in Shoreham as the headquarters, assembly and testing facility for Cox Powertrain, an innovative world leader in marine diesel outboards.

The company benefits from being led by former Cosworth CEO Tim Routsis who has a history of engine development for the very high end of automotive, aerospace and marine markets.

The team of British engineers had a vision to create an iconic engine brand that would revolutionise the diesel engine market for the marine industry. The result of that vision is the, soon to be unveiled at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, CXO300 diesel outboard.

The engine is a V8 4-stroke producing immense torque and power to match current engines with the greater fuel efficiency and safety of diesel. The new 300hp engine builds on the success of the already proven 150hp OXE diesel outboard that uses up to 40 per cent less fuel than a modern 150hp petrol outboard.

The CXO300 has a power-to-weight of 1,000hp per tonne, almost twice as much as standard diesel engines.

Sea trials will be available in the not too distant future and I look forward to being among those to sample this fantastic marvel of British engineering.

SCANIA DISPUTE

Meanwhile, news has come in that Scania seem to have resolved their industrial dispute that led to immense disturbance in their ability to produce the new V8 diesel engine for marine installations.

Based near Stockholm, Sweden, Scania were founded in 1891 and provide solid workhorse marine engines across the world to leading type approval organisations.

The strike was called at one of the casting facilities that produces the engine blocks, thereby calling a halt to production and creating a massive logistical backlog for orders.

The dispute has now been resolved and Scania has begun the unenviable task of catching up with that backlog. It

is expected to take several months before they are back to their normal order and supply timescale.

Alexander Vlaskamp, Senior Vice President, Head of Scania Trucks, said: “There will still be uncertainties for some weeks before we have the whole picture and can ramp up our production, but we are starting now, and will increase gradually with the aim of confirming a correct delivery schedule during the next few months for existing orders.

“We will successively open up for new orders. This whole situation came at a time when we were extremely busy producing new V8 units and I can only say how sorry we are that this had to happen to Scania’s loyal customers.”

SEVEN MARINE

Seven Marine has gained CE Mark certification for its flagship 627hp model, enabling the American company to begin selling its top-of-the-range product in Europe.

“This is a strong step forward for us in the European market,” said Brian Davis, vice president of Seven Marine.

“Since we first exhibited our outboards in Europe in 2016, and following our acquisition by Volvo Penta last year, European boatbuilders have shown a lot of interest in our outboards. We have developed new products and redesigned the 627 model, to continue our pursuit of offering a premium range of high-performance outboards to a broader market.”

Applications to gain CE Mark certification for Seven Marine’s 527 and 577hp engines are in progress and are expected to be approved in the coming months.

THE SEARCH FOR ATLANTIS…

Diving at Bouldner Cliff in search of artefacts.

Image: Maritime Archaeology Trust / Roland Brookes

UNDER THE SOLENT

While the story of Atlantis still fascinates people the world over, there is a site in our own waters that is producing incredible discoveries.

Solent based dinghy sailor David Henshall is a well known writer and speaker on topics covering the rich heritage of all aspects of leisure boating.

The completed wave screen at Haslar

T

he legend of Atlantis, the fabled city that was swallowed up by the sea, is a tale worthy of sitting alongside the very best of the sea stories.

However, for the thousands of sailors afloat in the western Solent, there is a very real dimension to the story, for just 35 feet below their keels lies an area of such importance that it is highly placed on the list of the UK’s Top Ten Archaeological Sites.

Situated between the island shore and Lymington, and hidden by the waters of the Solent, lie the remains of an important Mesolithic settlement, with many of the artefacts carefully preserved within the oxygen free sediments of the sea bed. Historically, the presence of a submerged landscape at the site is far from ’new news’ as fishermen across the ages have reported that that they pulled up strange pieces of very old wood from the seabed.

LOBSTER DISCOVERY The real breakthrough came during a more recent dive on the site, when a house-proud lobster was observed to be clearing out his burrow. Amongst the spoil that he was dumping onto the seabed were stone chips that were very clearly man-made.

The divers now knew where to focus their searches, with a detailed programme of examination taking place under the auspices of the Maritime Archaeological Trust, based at Southampton. Further sub-aqua investigations revealed that the site may have been the base for what is now thought to be quite a complex and

developed community. The range and quality of the remains discovered on the seabed have led to the Solent site being described as “probably Europe’s most important Mesolithic site”.

The discoveries made there, and at other explorations of Mesolithic sites, have run at odds to some of the more established thinking about the Mesolithic (or middle stone-age) period, when it was thought that our early ancestors were nomadic hunter gatherers.

As the finds from the Solent seabed were brought back to the surface, they started to tell a very different story.

Detailed analysis revealed that the site was some 8,000 years old, yet there was evidence of early wheat, that would suggest a greater degree of permanence for the community.

It would be during one of the dives made on the site that a find was made that could well turn out to be a discovery of worldwide importance, when a piece of worked timber was recovered and brought to the surface.

OLDEST BOATYARD? The manner in which the timber had been split from the trunk and then worked suggested that this was part of a boat building activity, potentially making the Solent location the site of the world’s oldest known boatyard – a fitting starting point given how this activity has remained so important to the area through to today.

Along with other excavations of Mesolithic sites on the mainland, our understanding and knowledge of these early Solent dwellers is now much greater than we had before.

It now seems certain that they could manipulate their environment, had control of fire and were laying down the first basic foundations for a community.

Worryingly, though, the Solent site may well have many more revealing secrets to give up, yet its very location

makes further investigation a complex task. As anyone who sails in the western Solent will know, the tides can be fierce and though these currents may well expose new finds on the sea bed, the same tidal flow quickly disperses them over a wide area. The tides also stir

up the bottom sediment, reducing visibility to the bare minimum, whilst at the same time, the tidal windows reduce the time that the divers can spend on the seabed.

Despite the site being identified as being at serious risk, a lack of funding has placed strict limits on the numbers of days in a year when the site can be excavated by divers, with the risk that even more important artefacts may well be lost forever.

RIVER OR LAKE? It was during the course of these investigations in the Solent that another widely held theory would also start to be challenged. Previous thinking held that a river course, potentially starting as far west with what is now the River Frome, ran eastwards through the Solent towards the location today of the Nab Tower, before swinging southwards for a confluence with the main river that ran down the middle of what is now the English Channel.

The latest counter view now suggests that the western Solent may well have been the site for a large, shallow lake, whose sheltered waters would provide a rich source of food for more than just one settlement.

If this is the case, then the prospect exists of yet more discoveries to be made under the waters we sail on each week.

This is a topic of such interest that the All at Sea team will be following the work being carried out by the Maritime Archaeological Trust closely and once there is more to report, you will be reading about it in these pages.

All at Sea would like to thank the team at the MAT for their assistance and look forward to their next series of dives in the Solent. www.maritimearchaeologytrust.org/ bouldnor BELOW: MAT divers recovering flints from Bouldnor Cliff. Image: Michael Pitts

The beach is the ideal place for a digital detox

Holidaycottages.co.uk has conducted a survey to learn about the role technology plays in the lives of people across the UK. The average person checks their phone 200 times a day and more than 25 per cent of respondents do so every 10 - 30 minutes.

However, a new trend is emerging involving digital detoxing: switching off technology and enjoying a break from the digital world. Holidaycottages.co.uk’s survey results show that people are aware

of their overconsumption and would like to cut down, with a large majority (72 per cent) saying they would like to do a digital detox.

The number one spot where people would like to take part in a detox, according to the survey, is the beach. Complete with fresh air and vitamin D, the beach is the ideal location for anyone looking to relax and unwind.

THE WIGHT HOLIDAY

The Isle of Wight is brimming with days out, come rain or shine for all the family.

The island is steeped in history and is home to some of the country’s greatest heritage attractions. Osborne House (pictured), favourite home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and their children, and Carisbrooke Castle, the prison for the deposed Charles I for 14 months before his execution in 1649, are great day out destinations.

Fresh local produce is something that the island has become famous for, so a visit is the perfect excuse to spend the day taking a tour of some of the best places to try what is on offer.

At The Garlic Farm there is The Farm shop, which is a treasure trove of garlicy goodness and the adjacent restaurant is full to the brim with delicious dishes that have garlic at their heart.

There is also the The Hut at Colwell Bay which uses locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

Wightlink ferry sailings to the Isle of Wight are priced from just £57.50 return for a car. www.wightlink.co.uk

FURTHER INFORMATION WHERE WOULD YOU VISIT?

Research carried out by TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show to celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary found that escaping the stresses of everyday life (58 per cent) and sense of adventure (52 per cent) are the top reasons why people would pick a boat over any other luxury after winning the lottery jackpot.

However, it turns out that despite our sense of adventure, we do not want to leave our shores too far behind with 41 per cent saying that they would

sail their new yacht around the UK rather than head to the Caribbean (34 per cent), Croatia (13 per cent) or around the world (31 per cent).

That being said, women seem to want to explore further afield, with 40 per cent dreaming of sail trips round the Caribbean (compared to 29 per cent of men) and 36 per cent opting for the Greek Islands.

LASER 150 CHALLENGE Dave Birch took on an incredible dinghy challenge to raise money for Guernsey’s Les Bourgs Hospice.

Here Dave recounts the highs and lows of his adventure on board his Laser.

READER STORY

THE CHALLENGE

“I am solo sailing my dinghy 150 miles non-stop for The Friends of Les Bourgs and Les Bourgs Hospice because of their priceless service to Guernsey.”

ROUTE: Leaving Falmouth for Plymouth and the first waypoint, the Eddystone Lighthouse.

Circumnavigate the lighthouse before battling south across the widest part of the English channel covering a distance of 90 miles.

Upon reaching the North Brittany coast heading north east for the finish at St Peter Port, Guernsey.

Dave is hoping to raise £15,000.

I

t started with a 4am alarm and a 2.5 hour drive to Falmouth, like my day was not going to be long enough already.

There was a reasonable forecast of predominantly NW F4+ winds, occasional F3, the bottom end of the acceptable wind range.

My brother, and wingman, Brian helped to set things up to get me underway. I was equipped with a solar powered compass, digital battery powered speedo from Rooster and a GPS to do my own navigation, along with enough nutrients and fluids for 48 hours.

At 9:10 I was underway on the rainy Falmouth River. It was not until clear of the estuary that the winds developed.

A relatively calm sail to the Eddystone Lighthouse took all day; there the Navy was mid-exercise with the new aircraft carrier. Past the Eddystone Lighthouse, I was graced with so many dolphins, all vowing for a place under the bow of my small dinghy. I pushed my hand into the water with my GoPro camera firmly gripped, unsure of what I would capture.

CHANGE OF COURSE

Into the evening and getting further offshore, the sea state increased, as did the winds, giving speed surfing down a confused six foot sea.

Given that I had been sailing deep downwind, the risk of capsizing in the dark was such that I opted not to maintain my south-easterly course and headed due south, keeping the winds safely just aft of beam.

I was not cold in the crisp night air, but I put this down to my Rooster base layer, hat and gloves. My safety team on board the support vessel were never more than 100m away keeping a close eye.

As day broke, so the wind faded away. It was just unfortunate that I was upon the approaches to the east bound shipping lanes that had five large container ships inbound. Creeping along at just two to three knots, I broke out the paddle to increase boat speed and out of the path of the never ending stream of ships pouring in to the channel.

It was good to be clear, but I caught sight of a squally rain cloud approaching. When it finally reached me, it brought just 20 knots but it was truly exhilarating surfing a now eight

foot rolling swell at up to 10 knots! Alas, the winds faded again as the rain cloud moved away and never built above eight knots, which meant progress was slow with boat speeds only reaching one to four knots. I resorted to the use of the paddle once more as the speed dropped low.

So, my second day at sea was slow and long with winds lighter than forecast.

It seemed to take forever to reach the Hanois lighthouse at the south western point of Guernsey as dusk drew in. By now I was unable to eat my protein bars as I could not stomach the taste. With every bite, I wanted to vomit!

As night engulfed me for another time, the wind faded to nothing.

LAST RESORT

With just a couple of hours of favourable tide left, there was no possibility of reaching St Peter Port in Guernsey under sail for some time, and the ebbing tide was due to sweep me back west and further away from my destination. After 143.2 miles, I took the last resort of taking a tow to the finish, just 10 miles away.

The tow was interesting in that sleep deprivation had a strong grasp of me and it was a struggle to remain awake.

Hallucinations were bizarre. I was seeing cows and goats rolling in the wake of the towing vessel and then a cascade of glistening gold coins flowing from the towboat cockpit doorway where my brother stood keeping a close eye on me,

aware of my state. Inside the harbour and close to shore, I cast the tow line and paddled to a place to beach. At 1am there was a small gathering of friends and well-wishers.

I jumped off the boat and into the shallow water but could not stand, only stagger. I was assisted with beaching the challenge dinghy, then was promptly showered with bubbly to mark the achievement. It was done.

This discomfort of squatting on the back quarter of the Laser combined with sleep deprivation was considerable to the point that I vowed never to put myself through that again!

A day later though… However, I never want to see another protein bar again! www.epicsailing.co.uk

Every month the Photo of the Month winner will receive a bottle of Opihr Gin With a lightly-spiced flavour profile that brings the exotic intensity of the Orient to mind, Opihr Gin (pronounced O-peer) is a sensory treat for adventurous gin lovers.

It is a London Dry Gin featuring handpicked botanicals such as spicy cubeb berries from Indonesia, cardamom and black pepper from India and coriander from Morocco.

Opihr is perfect as the key ingredient for a classic G&T with a twist of orange and a mixer. If you are wanting something a little more adventurous, try Opihr Gin with Ginger Ale, or if a Bloody Mary is more your thing, try the gin version - a Red Snapper - replacing your favourite vodka with Opihr Gin to give it an exotic twist.

Opihr was inspired by the legendary region of the same name which prospered during the reign of King Solomon, and was famed for its wealth and riches. King Solomon regularly received cargoes of gold, silver and spices from Opihr and, whilst the exact location remains a mystery, it is thought to have been in the Orient, along the Ancient Spice Route. With the Spirit of Adventure at the heart of the brand, Opihr is the official Gin of Sunsail, the UK yacht charter company. www.opihr.com Send in your photos now!

EXPERTS’ FORUM SELECTING THE BEST RIG FOR TRACY EDWARD’S BOAT MAIDEN

SELDEN MAST’S SUSANNAH HART EXPLAINS WHY A CARBON RIG WAS CHOSEN FOR MAIDEN OVER ALUMINIUM. When Tracy Edwards’ crew set sail around the world on the newly revamped Maiden yacht they will do so with a carbon rig, made by Seldén Mast Ltd. But why? Especially when originally Maiden had aluminium spars, which served her so well in the epic 1989/90 Whitbread Round the World Race.

The Maiden Factor’s iconic Farr 58’s original mast was a bespoke aluminium mast, the likes of which are not made nowadays as manufacturing technology has moved forwards and developed. To achieve the same level of customisation

and design today the best option was to use modern composite processes to make a carbon mast.

Maiden’s age and layout were also factors in the decision-making process.

The original spar was heavily tapered and the new rig was required to have the same look – something that could only be achieved by manufacturing in carbon.

Seldén’s unique computer-controlled mandrel filament winding technique facilitated the necessary laminate and reinforcement specifications to achieve exactly what was needed.

WHY CARBON? More generally, carbon masts are lighter but not at the expense of stiffness. The weight and stiffness of a mast can greatly affect the sailing experience; lessening the weight in the rig increases the righting moment and reduces pitching for more performance and more comfortable sailing, so reducing weight benefits for cruising and racing sailors alike. Carbon masts are also stiffer for the same weight; improving control of mast bend, enhances sail shape and diminishes forestay sag, leading to better performance.

All Seldén carbon spars are made from pre-preg carbon, meaning that the fibre is coated in the precise amount of

Maiden’s carbon mast being manufactured

epoxy resin for optimum lamination. This ensures a lighter, stronger spar because for a given weight there is a higher ratio of carbon to resin.

The carbon winding process is also fully automated and computer controlled for ultimate accuracy, consistency and repeatability ensuring that each mast produced continually meets the exacting requirements of its owner or class.

ALUMINIUM BENEFITS With all these amazing benefits of carbon masts why does every boat not have a carbon rig? Cost is a major factor. A carbon rig is currently three to four times more expensive than the same rig in aluminium.

Carbon spars also require a great deal more maintenance than their aluminium counterparts. The epoxy resin in a carbon laminate is susceptible to discolouration upon continued exposure to sunlight and will generally need repainting every seven to 10 years.

Each month, All at Sea invites a leading marine industry expert to share their opinion together with their top tips to help you get the most from your boating.

An aluminium mast, on the other hand, is not only anodized to provide corrosion protection, it also has a natural level of corrosion resistance once it has oxidized meaning it needs almost no maintenance in this area during its life. Maiden’s new rig, however, will be less susceptible to this particular concern as it will receive a custom silver paint finish to maintain the aesthetic of the original mast and boom.

Damage detection is another issue with carbon spars. On an aluminium rig the majority of damage can be seen with the naked eye and therefore remedial measures can be taken before it is too late.

On a carbon mast the only way to identify damage is through an ultrasound and often the first indication that there is a problem is when the rig goes over the side.

THE RIGHT CHOICE On balance, there are many positives to a having a carbon rig on your boat, but the advantages need to be weighed up against your budget, usage and sailing ambitions.

Maiden’s mast will serve her well on her mission to highlight a girl’s right to an education. Although the exacting requirements of the re-rigging project meant that carbon was really the only option, the benefits of a lighter and stiffer rig will be felt on those ocean passages. www.seldenmast.com www.themaidenfactor.org Seldén Masts will be hosting a live Q&A with Tracy Edwards at the Southampton Boat Show.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Tracy Edwards made history in 1989/90 as skipper of the first all-female team to compete in the Whitbread Round The World Race. Now Maiden is set to embark on a new challenge to campaign for girls’ education.

Q&A WITH TRACY EDWARDS, INSPIRATIONAL BRITISH SAILOR, FOUNDER OF THE MAIDEN FACTOR AND THE FIRST WOMAN TO RECEIVE THE YACHTSMAN OF THE YEAR TROPHY. 5. TELL US HOW YOU REDISCOVERED MAIDEN.

In 2014 I had an email from a marina in the Seychelles asking if I knew who owned my old boat Maiden as she had been dumped there and left to rot. We then worked together to make sure that they kept her whilst I raised the funds to buy her.

WHAT CONDITION WAS SHE IN? HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO BOATING?

ABOVE: Maiden returns to the water.

Image: The Maiden Factor

T

he crew of Maiden first gained acclaim for their successes in the Whitbread Round The World Race in 1989-90, where they defied expectations, setting the best result for a British boat since 1977, which has remained unbeaten to this day. in 2014, 24 years after that historic race, Tracy Edwards decide to take Maiden on an entirely new adventure but, as in the late 1980s, getting to the start line presented its own set of challenges.

Back in the mid 1980s Tracy had a dream to skipper the first all-female crew in the world’s toughest ocean challenge, the Whitbread Round the World Race. However this was before the days of iconic female sailors like Dee Caffari and Ellen MacArthur, whose names we are so familiar with today.

As an all-female crew Tracy and her team faced a great deal of challenges and prejudices. Many people simply did not believe a crew made entirely of women would be able to complete the race. This included the all important business world who were not willing to ‘take the risk’ of sponsoring an allfemale team.

I was expelled from school when I was 15-years-old and when I was 16, I was backpacking though Europe, ending up in Greece. I worked in a bar in Zea Marina and one night a skipper of one of the luxury charter yachts in the marina, Mike Corns, came in and asked if I wanted a job as a stewardess. I had no qualifications and no idea of what I wanted to do with my life so I said yes! It was a decision that changed my life. I fell in love with sailing and the rest is history.

Maiden returned to the UK in June 2017. Image: Rick Tomlinson

WHEN DID YOU FIRST COME ACROSS MAIDEN?

In 1987 we began to realise that we were not going to be able to raise enough money to build a new boat for the first all-female crew to sail around the world, so we looked for a second-hand Whitbread boat. We found Prestige (Disque D’or III in the 1980/81 Whitbread Round the World Race) in Cape Town and bought her.

Then we shipped her to the UK and did a massive refit.

3. YOU HAVE ACHIEVED SO MUCH IN YOUR CAREER. CAN YOU PICK ONE HIGHLIGHT?

Crossing the finish line in first place coming into Australia. This is when people finally realised we were not mucking around! It is hard to remember now just how impossible people thought it was for women to sail safely around the world, let alone a 7,800 mile race through the Southern Ocean. Nothing will ever top that moment.

LIFE CHANGING

In 1985 Tracy met King Hussein of Jordan while working as a stewardess on a luxury yacht. Little did she know at the time, but the meeting was to change Tracy’s life. It was the vision, values and courage of King Hussein, who brought in a sponsor when it became clear British sponsorship would not happen, that subsequently made the story of Maiden possible.

Tracy explained: “Our friendship would last a lifetime and King Hussein would persuade me that I could do things I had never dreamed of and be someone I could never had imagined.”

It was not simply funding that the king helped make possible, but the support he gave was invaluable too.

The financial cost, as it is today, of simply getting a boat to the start line is huge. Such was Tracy’s determination and belief that she re-mortgaged her house to buy a ‘wreck of a boat with a pedigree’ in 1987, which was redesigned

WERE YOU AWARE THAT YOU AND THE TEAM WERE MAKING HEADLINES DURING THE WHITBREAD ROUND THE WORLD YACHT RACE?

Early days - below decks Maiden in total disrepair. Image: The Maiden Factor

Yes, but initially for all the wrong reasons. Yachting journalists were taking bets as to how far we would get before sinking! When we began doing well the press changed and became very positive. However, I do not think anything could have prepared us for the finish in Southampton with 600 boats and 50,000 people cheering us in.

Maiden was in an absolutely appalling condition. The hull was eaten away with electrolysis, the deck had equipment ripped out and down below had been vandalised.

How anyone could leave a beautiful boat like Maiden to rot away is beyond me.

HOW DID THE MAIDEN FACTOR COME ABOUT?

When I rescued Maiden I had not really thought about what I would do with her. It was my daughter who suggested that I use her to raise funds for the girls’ educational charities which I supported.

The Maiden Factor is for me the inspiration that has kept me going during tough times and she made me who I am. Maiden changed us all and it is that ‘factor’ that I want to inspire others and change the world by educating girls.

MAIDEN STARTS HER THREE-YEAR WORLD TOUR IN SEPTEMBER. WILL YOU BE TAKING PART IN THE TOUR?

My back injury unfortunately prevents me from sailing, but I will be at every stopover waving her in and seeing her off. We have a great new skipper and a young dynamic all-female crew – they are the future. This is not about me – it is about Maiden.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH ALL AT SEA’S READERS?

Just to say thank you to everyone who donated to the crowdfunding which raised the funds to buy Maiden and for the support we have had from the sailing world since then. Maiden is very special and the support we have had has reminded me of that.

WATCH OUT

Maiden is welcomed home to huge crowds in 1990.

Image: Andrew Sassoli-Walker

Maiden’s incredible story is currently being turned into a new documentary. A story about guts, courage and determination, the documentary is set to chronicle the team’s 167-day, 32,018-mile journey around the globe, where they overcame icebergs, a tornado and five days without food. Their achievement shattered stereotypes, broke records and paved the way for women in sport and beyond.

The original Maiden crew reunited for private screening of the new Maiden documentary.

Image: The Maiden Factor

130 million girls around the world are currently denied an education; studies show that given 12 years of education girls can change their futures, their communities and the world. and, over a period of six months, rebuilt using borrowed tools.

The royal connections continued when, in September 1988, HRH The Duchess of York christened Maiden and went sailing with the crew. That year Prestige, or Maiden, as she was renamed, entered the Route of Discovery Race from Cadiz to Santo Domingo and won overall.

READY TO RACE

On 2 September 1989 Maiden started the Whitbread race, in a fleet of 22 yachts, with months of hard racing ahead. With 26-year-old Tracy as skipper the women went on to survive icebergs, minus 30-degree temperatures, frostbite, satellite signal failure and no food for several days on the final leg.

However, when they arrived back in Southampton, 167 days later, it was to a very different reaction from the British public and media to that which they had experienced before they left. Not only had they won two of the hardest legs but they came second overall in their class, and Maiden’s fans came out in their thousands to show their support.

Tracy said: “Back in 1989 many people did not believe that a group of women sailors could take on such a notorious challenge, and many wrote off our chances. We not only completed the race but did so in an impressive time, coming second in our class, ahead of many all-male crews. Our accomplishment reached beyond the world of sailing – showing that with the right support and plenty of belief, women can do anything.”

In 1990 Tracy was awarded the MBE and became the first woman in its 34 year history to be awarded the Yachtsman of the Year Trophy.

THE MAIDEN FACTOR FOUNDATION

The foundation’s mission is to empower and educate girls. The charities it supports develop community-led, sustainable programmes which provide opportunities for girls to meet their potential. Through funding, it aims to make a significant difference to girls around the world, advocate for equal human rights and enable girls to access the basic human right to an education.

MAIDEN CONTINUES

Eight years later, in 1998, Tracy went on to put together the first all-female crew to race a multihull. The aim was to be the first such crew to sail around the world non-stop and win the Jules Verne Trophy for the fastest non-stop circumnavigation of the world by sail.

After breaking five world records the 92ft catamaran was sadly dismasted 2,000

miles off the coast of Chile. Then, four years later, Tracy created the first ever truly mixed gender team and broke four major world records in Maiden II. However, Tracy also does a great deal of work away from the water; as well as gaining a degree in psychology and becoming an author, Tracy is a motivational speaker. However the fate of Maiden was proving far less positive.

Following the race, Maiden had to be sold to pay off debts, and went through a series of owners before being abandoned in the Seychelles.

Eventually, in 2014, Tracy found out that Maiden was in a very bad condition in a marina in the Seychelles. And so it started again. A campaign to make the impossible happen and bring her home and restore Maiden to her former glory.

It took time, but in April 2017, with the support of HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, King Hussein’s daughter, the 36-year-old aluminium boat was shipped to Southampton to start an extensive refit.

The Maiden Factor project was born: to

promote, fundraise for and facilitate the education of girls.

Tracy explained: “Over the past 30 years, the opportunities available to women have been evolving for the better. However, there is still so much to be done. Thanks to the generous support of HRH Princess Haya’s global initiative Anything is Possible, which supports and inspires the best in people, Maiden will set sail again this September, promoting and campaigning for educational equality across the globe.”

BACK TO BASICS

Hamble Yacht Services Refit and Repair had to strip the boat both inside and out before shot and grit blasting it back to its bare aluminium hull, deck and structure.

Surveys would then show what the restoration of Maiden would really entail.

Furthermore, the boat was conceived to race around the world in the 1980s and had been prepared accordingly, but for the new concepts of the 2018-2021 Maiden campaign it had to be refitted as a fast blue water sailing yacht.

The main difference on deck is a carbon rig of the same size and with the two spreaders, but also swept back to accommodate non-overlapping head-sails.

Below deck, there is the addition of a head and shower forward, and the engine position has been moved aft to sit over the keel, and with bigger fuel and water tanks to increase the range.

MAKING WAVES

Maiden inspired a generation but now she has a new mission; to raise awareness and funding for charities running programmes that will enable girls to get an education. On 6 August 2018 Maiden finally re-entered the water. Claire and Jo from the original crew were there along with new crew Amelia Ralphs, Belinda Henry, Matilda Ajanko and Mary Sutherland and The Maiden Factor Team. on 22 September Maiden will leave the Southampton Boat Show on her threeyear world tour with her first stopover in Aqaba, Jordan, once again ‘making waves’ raising awareness for girls’ education. www.themaidenfactor.org

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Anything is Possible is a global initiative which will support and inspire the best in people. The initiative set up by HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein honours the legacy of her father, HM King Hussein I, who believed that with faith, honour and courage Anything is Possible. By promoting and campaigning for educational equality across the globe, AIP hopes the next chapter in Maiden’s story will inspire and empower a new generation of young girls to fulfil their dreams and reach their potential.

SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW

THE BIRTH OF A SHOW

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show is Britain’s biggest boating festival showcasing the lifestyle, fun and e citement that being on the water has to o er.

Image: British Marine

A great touch, any golden couples from Southampton celebrating their 50th anniversary during the boat show will be given free entry!

SPOILT FOR CHOICE

S

ince it began, the show has been the launchpad for boating legends, seen the evolution of groundbreaking technology and tracked the rise of marine brands.

Throughout those years, whether tempted to dip your toe in for the first time, an aspiring sailor or seasoned boater, Southampton has offered a fantastic social experience, the chance to stock up on the latest boating gear and is the perfect opportunity to indulge your passion for the water.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

There will be plenty of celebrations at the show to mark its 50th event; expect a trip down memory lane. The stage will provide a variety of live music from across the 50 years, plus the show will be marking the 50th anniversary of the first singlehanded non-stop circumnavigation of the globe with Sir Robin KnoxJohnston’s Suhaili on display.

A number of sporting stars and celebrity supporters of the event over the last 50 years will be welcomed and there will be a touch of the late 1960s in the new Guinness Bar and refreshments area.

Head over to the stage where industry experts will be giving talks and advice, but leave plenty of time to walk around the extensive site. This year there will be more than 80 new exhibitors totalling over 500 to choose from. Watch out for all the debuts; more than 100 are confirmed.

If that was not enough, this year also has new interactive features, including attractions from the National Oceanography Centre, a heritage museum and kayak assault course challenge.

Not forgetting, the show also features Europe’s largest purpose-built marina, showcasing over 330 sail and motor yachts for visitors to enjoy whilst enjoying the last of the summer sun.

BOOMING INDUSTRY

The latest figures from British Marine show that it is a booming leisure industry, with more than 3.2 million UK adults taking to the water each year, and over one million boats and watersports crafts owned by UK households.

Many people have been taking up watersports as a hobby whether to prepare for a holiday or to enjoy leisure time here in the UK. In fact, watersports participation in the UK is at an all-time high with 5.53 million people hitting the water in 2017 according to the annual The Watersports Participation Survey.

Canoeing remains the nation’s favourite way to get on the water with 1.85 million people picking up a paddle last year.

However, ever-growing board-based hobbies like surfboarding, bodyboarding and paddleboarding are hot on its heels.

Despite these growing watersports, traditional boating pastimes are still

1969 Norman Kemish and Arthur Gale launched the first Southampton Boat Show which ran for six days, from 29 September - 4 October. There were about 50 exhibitors. The early boat show was a far more modest affair contained solely within Mayflower Park with the army, based on the other side of the river at Marchwood Military Port, supplying the small pontoon where just a handful of boats were moored. Entrance on the first day was 10 shillings (50p), while tickets for the remaining days cost three shillings (15p).

1981 Show founders, Arthur and Norman, handed over the reins of running the event to British Marine (then known as the Ship and Boatbuilders National Federation). However, 1981 was best remembered as the year gale-force winds ripped through the show on its final day. Winds of up to 55mph turned the last hours of the event into a shipwreck as Ocean Hall was flattened.

1988 The show underwent a big expansion on the water and 254 boats were showcased afloat.

1993 The show celebrated its 25th anniversary with an

popular with more than 681,000 people enjoying motorboating, a rise of 37 per cent on the previous year.

David Pougher, Interim Managing Director at British Marine, said: “It is very encouraging to see this level of growth in boating and watersports participation.

Life on the water has always been part of this country’s rich heritage. We see it every year at TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show, with people coming along to find out about and to try new things.”

GREEN SHOW

This summer British Marine, organisers of the show, announced a long-term commitment to marine conservation.

British Marine is taking steps to minimise the environmental impact of the event and raise awareness of the plight of the world’s oceans. Working with the Marine Conservation Society,

impressive guest list of VIP visitors including Princess Anne and the king of Formula One at the time, Nigel Mansell. One of the headturning attractions was a 20m long Jongert with a price tag of £1million – the same cost of staging the show at the time.

1997 The event was debated

by Parliament which granted permission for an extra nautical day of pleasure and the Show was extended from nine to 10 days.

2001 The show teamed up with the organisers of the Volvo Ocean Race and Southampton City Council for Waterfront Week. It drew in visitors by showing off speedboats from the James Bond films, as well as all the things that had by that point become standard like Try-aBoat and the Marina.

2017 The show introduced its first ever passenger boat giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy a free boat trip on the Solent, taking in the impressive view of the show from a new perspective. In total, the show got a record 15,000 people on the water throughout the 10 days.

2018 Celebrating 50 incredible years in style! the organisers have a three-year pledge which includes moving away from single use plastics, serving only sustainable fish, continuing to recycle waste wherever possible and encouraging environmentally responsible behaviour by visitors, exhibitors, staff and other stakeholders.

Greg Munford, British Marine President, said: “As Britain’s biggest festival of boating, attracting an international audience of over 106,000 visitors and 500 marine businesses, TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show provides an ideal platform to drive change and get sailing enthusiasts and boat builders alike to take notice.”

FERNHURST BOOKS

Did you know you can afford a boat… probably. You may have thought you could not, but you might just be wrong. Nothing beats the feeling of stepping on your first boat, casting off and going somewhere for the first time. It could be nearer and easier than you think.

Boat ownership is easier than ever – all you need to do is find a boat that suits you, somewhere to put her and make sure you really understand the cost and responsibility of taking her on.

If you are unsure about ownership, another great way to get on the water is to join your local club, make lots of great new sailor friends and join in the club’s events and training – this will really give you a taster and you may be invited to try other people’s boats, before you buy.

So how best to find your new joy, look after her and make the best of her? We would advise a great way is to build a relationship with your local broker. A good broker will understand the international and local market, be able to articulate the full cost of ownership and should assist throughout your boating journey with help, advice and assistance – this should be friendly, transparent, ongoing and impartial advice to make sure you get the absolute best from boat ownership.

You should receive advice on regular low level maintenance and get help with arranging favourably priced work from a multi qualified broker, who should have vast marine experience and local, boots-onthe-ground help with everything you need from engine servicing to sail laundering.

The average boat is taken to sea just 11 times per year and 10 per cent of all boats are for sale – so the choice is bewildering. Befriending your local broker will really help you find the one that is right for you.

SELLING YOUR BOAT

When it comes to selling your boat, nothing beats good advice from a trusted broker – they know the market, the area, what your boat is worth and the best way to sell her, along with many tried and tested practical hints and tips.

Your broker should be experienced, with plenty of local contacts, be British Marine trained and work to Maritime and Coastguard Agency practices – even better if they possess professional skills such as engineering or Royal Yachting Association certificates.

They should be able to take your boat to the global market and proactively work to sell her for you, allowing you to relax and know that you are in the best hands and will achieve the best price.

It covers setting up a Mirror and early sailing experiences, developing skills on all points of sailing and how to become a championship winner.

WHEN SELECTING A BROKER, THINK: 1 Are they accessible all the time? Do they communicate?

2 Are they proactive? Do they take your boat to targeted buyers?

3 Do they have truly global coverage, along with local knowledge?

4 Do they have a database of buyers looking for boats?

BUY A BOAT WHAT WOULD YOU BUY?

A study, carried out by TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show has revealed that our love affair with the sea is alive and well, with almost two-thirds of Brits choosing to buy a boat if they were to win the lottery.

The research carried out to celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary also found that escaping the stresses of everyday life (58 per cent) and sense of adventure (52 per cent) are the top reasons why people would pick a boat over any other luxury upon winning the jackpot.

SPIRIT YACHTS DH63 BERTH M260

www.spirityachts.com British modern classic yacht company Spirit Yachts is launching its latest new build, the Spirit DH63.

The 19.2m yawl sailing yacht has been designed for cruising and racing in the UK and Caribbean.

The deckhouse design incorporates a raised coachroof, which provides protection from the elements.

Panel windows incorporated into all sides of the coachroof give near 360-degree views of the horizon from the chart table. Also incorporated into the deckhouse is a sofa arrangement with port and starboard bunks for use during long distance passages.

The research also found that most of the UK would take up a watersport if they had a bit more time. Three in five would take up a watersport, of which 40 per cent would jump at the chance to hop on board a jetski.

But do not worry, a lottery win is not necessary to find the perfect boat at the show.

Sunseeker International and Princess Yachts are bringing some of their finest vessels, moored alongside smaller craft designed for the more classic cruising enthusiasts, plus there will be dinghies, RIBs and much more for all budgets.

Q&A

RICHARD ROBERTS AND SIMON WHITE FOUNDERS OF THEYACHTMARKET.COM HOW DID THE BUSINESS FIRST COME ABOUT?

TARGA 43 OPEN STAND M136/M138/M140

www.fairline.com Fairline’s star of the show is the all-new Targa 43 OPEN, which will make its worldwide debut at Cannes Yachting Festival just days before the start of the Southampton Boat Show. The anticipation for the launch of the Targa 43 OPEN began before the first model was even constructed, with 10 orders being placed on the first day of the London Boat Show months before the first boat would take to the water. With a starting price of £579,240, the Targa 43 OPEN is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS600 engines offering speeds of up to 34 knots.

DUFOUR 360GL AND 56 STAND M310-318

www.dufouryachtsuk.com The new Dufour 360 Grand Large (pictured) and the Dufour 56 Exclusive will both make their debut.

The flagship Dufour 56 Exclusive is the epitome of luxury, elegance and comfort. A streamlined and uncluttered layout has been created with Dufour’s customary light and airy salon and flexible cabin layouts available in a variety of wood finishes.

The Dufour 360 GL is the latest addition to the Grand Large range. She features a number of significant design evolutions, primarily to the coachroof, deck and cockpit for cleaner space for sailing and on board living.

Both yachts feature Dufour’s now trademark external galley, BBQ and sink, which can be fitted as an option discreetly concealed under the rear seats for more sociable catering and entertaining. A generous bathing platform also creates additional space for on board life, and a stable landing platform for arrival by tender.

CRANCHI Z 35 AND M 44 STAND M224, M224A

www.tingdeneboatsales.net Tingdene Boat Sales has announced UK debuts of two models from Cranchi: the Z 35 (above) from the Cruiser range and M 44 HT (below) from the Hard Top line-up. They will be joined by a Cranchi Endurance 30. The M 44 HT’s extended hardtop flows up from the deck in one continuous sweep, sheltering the helm and dinette underneath a large opening roof while keeping the accommodation completely open to the beach style aft end of the boat and its twin sun beds forward. Below, a central saloon is flanked by a master double cabin and a three bunk cabin for the kids and their friends. Or how about the Z 35? Aft on the Z35 you will find a bathing platform, seating and bar, and forward two double cabins, dinette and galley.

Simon (left): We always knew there were other websites in the marine classifieds space, but we felt it could be done better. Richard and I have loved boats for as long as I can remember, combining that with my technology knowledge we felt that we could create something that worked better and quicker for the user.

Richard (right): One of our founding principles was, and still is, that by creating the fastest and most enjoyable user experience for the boat buying public, the company will succeed.

WHAT IS YOUR TOP BOAT BUYING TIP? Simon: If you can, try before you buy.

It means you can ensure the type of boat you are choosing is the one which meets your needs. There are many ways to do this, such as going on a sailing/powerboat holiday, volunteering as crew or taking a sailing course on the type of boat you are considering buying. We have just launched a campaign called #HowToBuyaBoat (see page 4), and we hope to impart our wisdom from the past 15 years to our customers to help them make smart choices.

Simon: Also, a top tip for selling a boat is to take great photos and do not use the photo of the heads as the main picture. It is surprising how many times we see this!

SEALVER WAVE BOAT STAND A022 (ARENA) AND M156B (MARINA)

www.waveboat.co.uk Wave Boat UK is launching the Sealver Wave Boat to the UK. This jet ski powered boat can turn from a jet powered leisure boat to a PWC in seconds. With its patented compatibility kit the Wave Boat can partner up with any PWC available (except the Seadoo Spark). The range varies from 4.4m up to 6.5m including two options of a RIB.

HAVE YOU COME ACROSS ANY RARE OR UNUSUAL BOATS IN YOUR BUSINESS? Richard: We have more than 50,000 boats for sale on TheYachtMarket website, everything from tenders to mega yachts. So, every now and again we do come across something a little unusual including several boats from the Bond movies and even Richard Branson’s former Virgin Atlantic Challenger.

WHICH SAILORS INSPIRE YOU (PAST OR PRESENT)?

Simon: I am proud of my dad for sailing around the world in the Global Challenge. He really inspires me; one day I will circle the globe too, but at a more leisurely pace.

ON THE UP

Despite economic uncertainty, Brits are still looking to purchase their own floating hideouts with boat ownership on the up. Last year more than 690,000 UK households owned one or more vessels, bringing the total number of boats owned by UK residents to 1.18million.

Richard: I really admire Mike Golding OBE and Dee Caffari MBE. Mike as the fastest person to race around the world solo in both directions and Dee as the first woman to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe in both directions. Not only are their sailing achievements incredible, but they spend so much of their time promoting good causes and using their profile to help raise awareness.

WHICH BOATS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING AT THIS YEAR’S SHOW? Richard: There are going to be so many new boat debuts at the show.

I am really looking forward to seeing the Oyster Yachts brand back up and running, and I am interested to view the new Princess R35.

WHAT IS YOUR BOATING BACKGROUND? Simon: Ever since childhood, I have always loved being in, on and around the water. I attempted building makeshift rafts several times which did not go well; I am not a naval architect! After giving up on that idea, I windsurfed for a while. Then two flotilla sailing holidays in the Ionian gave me my first introduction to being on the water rather than in it.

TELL US ABOUT THEYACHTMARKET.COM’S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW? Richard: We are a huge supporter of British Marine and this opportunity allowed us to put a face to our brand and create a personality for the business, which many digital organisations struggle with. There is an absolute fit for us to be the Title Sponsor as we are a local Southampton company and have been since we began 15 years ago.

This will be our second year as Title Sponsor and we are very excited about the show.

THERE WILL BE A NEW REGATTA AT THE SHOW THIS YEAR. CAN TELL US HOW IT CAME ABOUT? Richard: We want as many people as possible to enjoy being on the water.

We are so lucky to have such great facilities and scenery on the south coast, we do not want people to miss out, so we have taken matters into our own hands and created a regatta that has something for everyone (read more about the regatta on page 5).

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH ALL AT SEA’S READERS? Richard: We will be announcing something which we are both very passionate about at TheYachtMarket. com Southampton Boat Show. We cannot say anything yet, the details are all under lock and key, but we can confirm that it will be a very exciting marine conservation initiative…

FACILITIES CRUISING

Within easy reach of numerous scenic destinations, Fox’s makes a great base from which to explore the east coast.

The adjacent River Stour is particularly charming, with numerous anchorages.

The Walton Backwaters is made up of numerous creeks, inlets and islands to explore, including the beautiful sandy spit and lagoons at Stone Point.

To the south, the Colne and Blackwater estuaries offer varied sailing, while heading north takes you to the River Deben where you can cruise upriver past Ramsholt

(The Ramsholt Arms is a really lovely riverside pub and well worth a lunchtime stop - theramsholtarms. com), passing Waldringfield and on to the pretty town of Woodbridge, with its numerous facilities, pubs and restaurants.

A little further up the coast is the River Ore/Alde and the ancient riverside port of Orford with its unique shingle spit and on to Aldeburgh, a gem of a seaside town on Suffolk’s Heritage coast and close to the famous Snape Maltings music and arts centre. For those wishing to

head further afield Ostend is only 79 miles from Harwich, and Belgium and France are all within easy reach.

The marina recommends that cruising yachtsmen obtain a copy of the Imray East Coast Pilot and the East Coast Rivers Cruising Companion. Both available from foxschandlery.com.

The River Orwell estuary is specially protected because of its national and international importance for wildlife, and is an important habitat for a wide variety of wintering birds. www.suffolkcoastandheaths.org

Fox’s has its own on-site chandlery, Fox’s Chandlery, overlooking the marina. It is easily the largest chandlery on the east coast, with over 7,000sq ft of retail space, and specialises in an extensive range of chandlery, electronics and technical gear for the boat and yacht owner, alongside a range of quality clothing and footwear brands. They are available in store or to purchase online. The store also stocks a range of basic provisions, soft drinks and ice-creams and so on.

There is a small convenience store selling grocery items and newspapers together with a petrol station alongside the marina. In addition all the leading supermarkets are within three miles and can easily be reached by taxi.

Additional services and facilities

Head a little further and you will discover the newly refurbished The Boot at Freston. It is a real gem of a find. thefrestonboot.co.uk A longer walk along the river (or short RIB trip) takes you to Pin Mill, where the Butt & Oyster, one of the best-loved riverside pubs in Suffolk, is renowned for its good beer, good food and great views.

It is associated with and famously features in Arthur Ransome’s novel We Didn’t Mean to go to Sea. debeninns.co.uk/buttandoyster The Ipswich waterfront has many popular restaurants and bars, whilst within a 10 mile radius there are numerous fantastic country pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets.

THINGS TO DO

In past centuries, Ipswich and its river were famed throughout the world for the innovation and quality of its shipbuilding, with such famous

designers as Sir Thomas Slade, the naval architect of Nelson’s Flagship, HMS Victory, who is buried in St Clement’s churchyard in Ipswich. In 1797 Lord and Lady Nelson moved to Ipswich, and in 1800 Lord Nelson was appointed High Steward of the town.

Ipswich’s reputation for quality and skilled shipbuilding had already been established in past centuries such that many of the Admiralty-commissioned wooden warships were constructed there. Since the early days of yachting for pleasure, this same tradition of invention and world-beating revolutionary new design flourished, and continues to flourish in local boatyards such as Fox’s today.

Ipswich is one of the Haven ports and is still a working port, handling several million tonnes of cargo each year.

One of Ipswich’s most famous sons, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, was born in Ipswich around 1475. One of Henry VIII’s closest political allies, he founded a college in the town in 1528, before falling out of favour with Henry VIII. The River Orwell is also home to the 1931 Bermudian cutter Nancy Blackett, once owned by Swallows and Amazons author Arthur Ransome, who lived at Pin Mill.

There are many miles of scenic footpaths along both sides of the Rivers Orwell, Stour and Deben and throughout the Shotley Peninsula.

A public footpath passes through the marina, which links to the coastal path along the River Orwell.

The South Suffolk cycle route can be joined a short distance from the marina and includes signed leisure routes through some of the prettiest villages in Suffolk. sustrans.org.uk Christchurch Mansion - This beautiful Tudor mansion is the jewel in the crown

Languard Fort - Standing at the mouth of the River Orwell, this is the site of the last opposed seaborne invasion of England in 1667 and the first land battle of the Royal Marines.

GUNWHARF QUAYS’ ‘REFILL ME’ INITIATIVE GUNWHARF Quays has unveiled a new green initiative, Refill Me, which allows guests to easily identify where reusable water bottles can be refilled with no obligation to purchase. Since the campaign launched, six shops at Gunwharf Quays have signed up to take part.

As part of Gunwharf Quays’ ongoing sustainability efforts and in a bid to cut single-use plastic consumption, visitors can now fill up their water bottle for free at any Gunwharf Quays’ retailer displaying a Refill Me sticker.

Visitors can pop in and fill their bottles with cold tap water with zero obligation to make a purchase from the retailer.

The new campaign is part of the centre’s wider green strategy, which includes increasing its combined recycling

POOLE MARINAS ARE GOING FOR GOLD

ONE of the highest accolades recognising quality of service and facilities has once again been awarded to two Poole marinas.

Poole Quay Boat Haven and The Port of Poole Marina, both operated and managed by Poole Harbour Commissioners, have achieved the prestigious five Gold Anchor status, an internationally acknowledged sign of quality assessed by The Yacht Harbour Association, for the third time in a row.

Kerrie Gray, Manager of Poole Quay Boat Haven and Port of Poole Marina, said: “We were delighted to learn that after a meticulous review process, we have once again been awarded a five Gold Anchor status by the Yacht Harbour Association.

I am immensely proud of my team; this prestigious award is a credit to their continued commitment and hard work they show every day.”

The Gold Anchor Award Scheme ratings can vary from one to five gold anchors and involves a three-stage process: an independent assessment, a ‘Mystery Shopper’ and a berth holder’s online questionnaire. The overall findings from each of these three factors contribute to the final Gold Anchor rating.

Poole Quay Boat Haven offers up to 125 berths for everything from jet skis to 75m superyachts. With direct access to Poole Quay and the historic Old Town, it’s just a short distance from the Blue Flag beaches of Sandbanks, and some of the top watersports destinations on the south coast.

BEMBRIDGE HARBOUR FUN PACKED WEEKEND AFTER the amazing weather this summer, the wind and rain at Bembridge Harbour’s Fun Weekend was a bit of a surprise, but it did not deter anyone and the Visitors’ Duver pontoon was packed full of boats, families and dogs, all of whom joined local residents to enjoy a packed programme of events.

The Paper Boat Building Workshop kicked off proceedings on Friday afternoon, with a variety of wonderful designs being created and painted ready for Saturday’s Great Bembridge Paper Boat Race. Wild Oats provided musical entertainment and the Duver Cafe laid on a delicious Family Fun Supper, washed down with drinks from the Water Horse Box Bar. Saturday morning’s blustery conditions on Bembridge Point Beach did not stop the fun, as egg and spoon, three-legged, sack, hopping, running and wheelbarrow races were hotly contested in age groups ranging from under fives up to the adults. There were seven impressive fortifications in the sandcastle competition and 10 sand sculptures, which featured a winning mermaid, built by the Kairos Crew, ranging in age from eight months to 66.

The Border Force were in the harbour with their latest generation CPV Hunter - keeping good company with the Bembridge RNLI Tamar Lifeboat, both conducting tours for the public.

The boat Best Dressed Overall was Kairos II. Best Decorated Boat proved extremely difficult to judge, with the eventual victor being Hagitta.

The Great Bembridge Paper Boat Race at Brading Haven Yacht Club was especially tense this year, with the wind constantly changing direction and boats alternating between floating about

going nowhere in particular, hurtling forwards with sudden bursts of energetic speed and on occasion sailing backwards towards the starting line.

A few capsizes and near sinkings were rescued from the water to dry out and may even, with a few modifications, be re-launched to race again next year.

The two junior races were followed by a senior competition.

The Crabbing Competition was brought forward to Saturday due to the severe weather forecast for Sunday. The number of crab catchers - 64 – was not a record but the number of crabs caught certainly was - 1,497. All were returned safety to the harbour.

A raffle was also drawn on Saturday, with prizes generously donated by island companies in support of nominated charity The Sophie Rolf Trust - KissyPupy.

The Raffle added more than £550 to the total raised so far this season.

It was a much enjoyed weekend, despite the rather unfriendly weather.

PLANS APPROVED

PREMIER Marinas has been granted planning permission for the redevelopment of Noss on Dart marina.

The £75m proposed investment of the site will create a unique place of interest and activity at the heart of which will be a marina and boatyard.

Noss on Dart was acquired by Premier in 2016 and comprises 37 acres of foreshore and woodland set on the bank of the River Dart, just below Kingswear and opposite Dartmouth. The site was formerly the Philip & Son shipbuilding yard but has operated as a marina and boatyard since shipbuilding ceased in the late 1990s.

Currently, much of the site is derelict and the existing marina infrastructure is in a poor state. Premier’s plans will reinvigorate the site, creating a waterside place comprising

a new marina with around 232 berths, a dry stack for 100 smaller motor craft, a boatyard with a 75-tonne boat hoist servicing private, fishing and commercial craft across South Devon, 21 marine trade commercial units, a hotel with 50 rooms, two restaurants and a spa, new car parking arrangements and a Heritage centre to celebrate the site’s history.

Premier’s plans also include a passenger ferry link to Dartmouth town with its shops, restaurants and historic places of interest.

Demolition of the site’s many derelict buildings will commence this autumn and will be followed by work on the replacement boatyard, car park and commercial buildings.

Renewal of the floating marina will start in the winter of 2019/20 and, once completed, the development of the hotel, Philip’s building and public areas will go ahead.

CRUISING GUIDE TO…

There are 52 other Plymouths in the world, but there is only one original…

Nicknamed Britain’s Ocean City, Plymouth has become a popular base for West Country sailors with the combination of year-round boating within its sheltered local waters, combined with easy access to the beautiful, rugged Devon & Cornwall coastline.

DANDY HOLE

Wherever you look in Plymouth, you will find a city steeped in nautical history.

From its status in sailing folklore through the likes of Sir Francis Drake, the Mayflower, Captain James Cook, Charles Darwin and Sir Francis Chichester, to its military importance and sad demise in World War II, the city is incomparable in its maritime significance.

3

Nowadays, the limelight is shared between the historic landmarks and a thriving, modern city, which boasts an incredible range of facilities for boaters. From trendy shops to stylish restaurants, coastal footpaths to wildlife, boatyards to marinas, dry stacks to slipways; Plymouth now offers everything a modern day sailor requires.

So where will your West Country adventures take you? Perhaps you have got time for a final day trip out for summer, or maybe it is time to get your boat to Plymouth ready for the 2019 season - either way, there are a host of amazing destinations waiting to be discovered.

RIVER ERME

TOP 5 DAY BOATING TRIPS FROM 1

4

JENNYCLIFF Let us start with a short trip to Jennycliff. Sitting under steep cliffs in the eastern side of Plymouth Sound, Jennycliff is a pretty anchorage which is ideal in an easterly breeze. The views are stunning across to Drake’s Island and back to Plymouth Hoe. What is more, there are very few obstructions to worry about making it the ideal spot for a short, end-of-season day out on the boat.

2

CELLAR BAY, RIVER YEALM Heading out beyond Plymouth Breakwater and to the east, the River Yealm is only 3nm away. The secluded Cellar Bay is away from the beaten track for landlubbers, which makes it paradise for us sea-goers! There is plenty of space to anchor off the beach and a few caves to explore once you have got ashore.

This is also a great spot to head for in an easterly breeze with the stunning cliffs providing the perfect shelter.

KINGSAND AND CAWSAND

On the western side of Plymouth Sound, the beautiful beaches of Kingsand and Cawsand are the perfect destination in south westerly winds. After anchoring up, the beach is great for swimming with kayak/SUP hire on the shorefront. Alternatively, head past the villages to join the South West Coast Path and stroll to Rame Head to enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Cornish coast.

3

DANDY HOLE

If you prefer heading completely off the beaten track in search of peaceful isolation, then look no further than Dandy Hole on the River Lynher. This picturesque corner to the west of Plymouth is a tree-lined haven making it the perfect spot for wildlife watching and admiring the natural beauty of the West Country. A few hundred metres beyond Dandy Hole is the historic St Germans viaduct, which stands at 106ft above the quay, and the Port Eliot estate.

5

RIVER ERME A further 6nm beyond the Yealm to the east, you will find the River Erme.

With limited depth as you go inshore, the Erme is best suited to motorboaters with small drafts (sorry sailors!). The unspoilt river has an anchorage at the mouth off Meadowsfoot Beach, but it is worth venturing a little further inshore on a rising tide to see the beautiful green landscape. The area surrounding the river is mostly private estate land so it feels very rural. A chartplotter would be useful as the channel meanders dramatically as you head upstream.

IN THE DRINK

ALL AT SEA CREW

BRITAIN’S MOST READ WATERFRONT NEWSPAPER

With Paul Antrobus

BY PAUL ANTROBUS SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND British brewing is not the only way to brew and, like here, many other countries have experienced a craft beer revolution.

Editor Jane Hyde 0746 8609 644 editor@allatsea.co.uk

Art Editor Mark Hyde design@allatsea.co.uk

Like the name of the brewery, the branding of their beers is creatively quirky, packaged in visually striking, lightweight, 330ml plain-coloured aluminium cans.

I found a range of four in my local Waitrose, each with a distinctive flavour and character.

Their own designed and decorated glass (available online) is subtly waisted and fits perfectly into the hand - strangely relaxing even before the first sip of the beer.

Best of the bunch for my taste is FRIDAY IPA. In a striking artisanal tomato-red can, it is billed as Unfiltered India Pale Ale and, at 6.5 per cent abv, it is a terrific end-of-the-week drink. Dark mahogany colour, malty consistency and plenty of bubbles as you would expect from a German beer. At £2.29 a can it is a bit more than regular British ales can be bought for these days, but at this strength and with its robust malty flavour, it is still a bargain versus the pub.

SUNDAY P/ALE is billed as “balanced and gently spiced, easy-like-Sunday-morning pale ale”. That is what it says on the can and that is what it is in the can. At 5.5 per cent, it has body and a robust Bavarian characteristic golden ale colour. On the shelf in a bright orange can at £2.19 each.

UNFILTERED LAGER

FOR many beer enthusiasts, the area known last century as Czechoslovakia was the holy grail of distinctive beers. It was founded on lager-type beers such as Pilsner Urquell, launched in 1842 and generally agreed as the original Pilsner.

It is no surprise, therefore, that there is dynamic craft beer production going on in Germany, in Bavaria close to the Czech Republic. The AND UNION brewing company is one of them.

It was set up in Munich in 2007 by three independent entrepreneurs, Rui and Manuel Esteves and Bradley Armitage with creative designer, Samantha Yule and UK-based director Byron Redman making up the whole team. They create the brew concepts and brand design, and produce their beers in collaboration with other long-established breweries.

The most recent is 90-years-old and the oldest they say has nearly 500 years of brewing history, supporting their claim to “make beer in the old-fashioned way with only barley, yeast, hops and water”.

MODERNIST BEER

AND UNION makes what they call ‘Modernist Bavarian Craft Beer’. They define ‘modernist’ as ‘purity, rationality, simplicity and the honest expression of the nature of materials and their quality’. Hmmm! You are possibly none the wiser but as a craft enterprise they are coming 6 up 1 with 5 new beers all the time.

COMPETITION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Then there is the UNFILTERED LAGER in a trendy light grey can, perhaps more like we British think of as a German Pilsner. It is billed as “old school lager (read ‘traditional’), unfiltered and bursting with flavour”. I agree with that. At five per cent, the shelf price is £2.19 per 330 ml can.

For the connoisseurs, it is a ‘Helles’ lager type, meaning light and blond and a traditional Munich beer invented by monks in Roman times. Being unfiltered it may have a slight haze, but that is how real lagers should be and it is where the flavour is.

NEU BLACK LAGER is something really different.

Dark, unfiltered, at five per cent, it looks a bit like a stout and drinks like a German Alt beer and is surprisingly refreshing even in our hot summer. In a shiny black 330ml can, it is £2.19 on the shelf.
