RACING YACHT REVEALED Image: Lloyd Images / Alex Thomson Racing

DID YOU KNOW?

The build involved more than 50,000 hours of specialist construction

ALEX Thomson Racing has announced the completion of the new HUGO BOSS racing yacht, which it hopes will lead the team to victory in the 2020-21 Vendée Globe round-the-world race. The IMOCA boat is the product of more than two years of design and build

work undertaken by the ocean racing team, together with more than 100 naval architects, engineers and boat builders. “What makes us one of the most exciting teams in this sport is that we display the courage to lead,” skipper Alex Thomson said as HUGO BOSS was

lowered into the water for the first time. “We innovate, we push boundaries and we are not afraid to do things differently. We accept that, in doing so, we might not always be right. But we are certainly not afraid to explore things that have never been done before.” HUGO BOSS – the name carried by all six of the team’s previous IMOCA boats – is a purpose-built 60ft long carbon fibre yacht, weighing 7.6 tonnes and featuring state-of-the-art hydrofoils. The boat’s deck and coach roof, meanwhile, feature solar panelling, an addition which the team hopes will allow it to achieve its ambition of sailing around the world without the use of fossil fuels. The distinctive black hull is in stark contrast to accents of fluorescent pink which can be seen across the boat’s coach roof, keel and rudder. Alex and his team will now undertake a period of on-water commissioning and testing before HUGO BOSS is officially launched and christened on 19 September in London. From there, the boat will debut in the double-handed Transat Jacques Vabre race in October before Alex undertakes his first solo race in the New York to Vendée in June 2020, the penultimate race in the IMOCA calendar before the Vendée Globe itself in November 2020. Watch the reveal video at the online All at Sea news pages allatsea.co.uk/news.

SUPPORTING VENDEE GLOBE’S PIP HARE BARKER is supporting 2020 Vendée Globe competitor, Pip Hare, by signing up as an official partner. The successful sailor and marine journalist, who comes from Poole, will be lining up in November 2020, along with 30 international skippers to singlehandedly race her 60ft boat around the world, non-stop. The gruelling 24,000 mile race will see Pip competing against some of the world’s most elite offshore racers, including fellow Brit Alex Thomson, and contending with some of the earth’s most hostile environments. The race will take in the three great Capes: the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin and Cape Horn. The course record for the race, which first took place in 1989, is 78 days. In 2001 Dame Ellen MacArthur came second in 94 days and Alex Thomson finished third in 2012-13 and then

second last time out in 2016-17, but no Brit has ever won, with fewer than 100 international skippers ever having completed the race. Pip said: “Preparing for the Vendée Globe race is without doubt the biggest challenge I have ever faced in my life and basing the boat in Poole was one of the best decisions I have made to date. I am proud to be flying the flag for such a positive, vibrant and forwardthinking community.” Last month Pip completed the Fastnet with world sailing speed record holder Paul Larsen, in a 20-year-old boat in 2 days, 8 hours, 21 minutes and 6 seconds saying: “It would be easy to assume that with an older boat we had no chance, but we held our own against better boats with bigger budgets. “We are still competitive and we can still make a mark. In two-and-a-half days

CA ROADSHOWS

The Royal Mersey Yacht Club and Nottingham’s National Watersports Centre will be opening their doors to CA members and their guests for the CA’s two Northern Roadshow events (19 October and 23 November). The guest speaker at both is the author and journalist Dave Selby. Numbers are limited to 60 on a first come, first served basis. thecaevents.eventbrite.co.uk

CHEER ON ALEX

Dream Yacht Charter is running a competition to win a once in a lifetime experience at the Transat Jacques Vabre race. In partnership with Brand Ambassador, Alex Thomson, DYC are offering one winner the chance to be at the start line to cheer on Alex and co-skipper Neal McDonald, as they leave Le Havre, France for Salvador, Brazil. www.dreamyachtcharter.co.uk/ competition-entry-tjv

RED DIESEL REMINDER As discussed last month, HMRC is running a consultation following the announcement that private pleasure craft in the UK will be prohibited from using red diesel. Boating organisations, boatyards, diesel suppliers and boat owners are being urged to respond to the consultation by boating organisations including the RYA and IWA. The consultation runs until 9 September.

GOSPORT OPEN DAYS

Gosport Heritage Open Days has published the full programme of more than 70 ‘Free to Explore’ events to be celebrated over 13 - 22 September. Many of the events are very close to Gosport’s marinas so a run ashore is ideal to make the most of the weekends. This includes nearly 30 new walks, talks, displays and other events as well as the usual favourites. People can just turn up for most of them, but some need booking. www.gosportheritage.co.uk

HOLYHEAD MARINA

Matthew Barker, MD of Barker, with Pip Hare

Since Storm Emma in March 2018 Holyhead Marina has been open on a limited basis. Now, though, a full-scale rebuild is being proposed with new sea defences to replace the breakwaters. A 500m sea wall would offer 24-hour unrestricted access, integrating the “lessons learned” from Storm Emma and the resulting pollutants released into the sea.

we delivered a world-class performance and a great story.” The result placed her just seven hours behind the lead IMOCA 60 and 11 hours ahead of the final finisher in the fleet, even beating a modern foiling boat by over an hour. With all bar one of the IMOCA 60s competing in the race campaigning to take part in the 2020-2021 Vendée Globe, the Fastnet is one of the first chances to see the boats and skippers for the solo round-the-world race compete. The next will be the double-handed Transat Jacques Vabre, sailed in October from Le Havre to Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, in which 34 IMOCA 60s are expected to race.

ALL ABOARD By Jane Hyde perfect marina or, having got the bug at Southampton, are beginning your search. Turn to page 75 for a handy guide to finding the perfect marina. Not in a marina, but in a museum, is Jumbo, a Maltese sailing boat with a quite incredible history that has led it to its new home at the Kent Battle of Britain Museum. This colourful boat might be little in size, but has a big story, which Peter Freeborn has kindly shared on page 53. In the news this month, there is much excitement surrounding the launch of Alex Thomson’s new racing yacht HUGO BOSS, plus the first public photos of an AC75 - Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli’s ‘B1’ - emerged. You can see them at the All at Sea Facebook page. Those two boats have yet to prove themselves in race conditions, but when SailGP came to Cowes it was the weather conditions that hit the headlines with racing on the first day cancelled altogether due to gale force winds. However when the teams did eventually take to the water there was bitter disappointment for the British team who had high hopes of a successful regatta after wins in the practise racing. In the very first race the British team suffered a shocking crash, nose diving heavily into the Solent and throwing CEO and wing trimmer Chris Draper summersaulting. Thanks to the team’s tethers, though, the crew did remain safely on board with no injuries. Pride damaged no doubt (and the boat), but thankfully that was all. Watch the dramatic video at the All at Sea online news pages. We wish the team the best of luck in this month’s final event in Marseille. Jane Hyde, Editor

IT is hard to believe I am sitting here writing about the Southampton Boat Show again. With the demise of the London Boat Show it has been a year since the last major boat show in the UK, but London’s loss has no doubt been Southampton’s gain with all eyes – exhibitors, visitors, marine industry – focusing their attention on the South Coast for 10 days this month. However, we must not forget that there are many other fantastic boat shows, regattas, festivals, jumbles and so on taking place throughout the year. They might not match Southampton in size but we are lucky to have some truly fantastic events taking place up and down the country – many of which you will have read about in these very pages. Talking of which, you cannot fail to have noticed what a bumper issue of All at Sea we have for you this month. This includes seven fantastic pages of Southampton Boat Show news, tips, interviews, advice and, of course, a guide to the boats you will find at the show. Yes, there will be multi-million pound yachts, but there will also be many yachts for those of us with a more modest budget. If you are thinking about buying a boat – whether at Southampton or elsewhere – turn to our buying tips on page 41. Whether you are visiting the show with a shopping list or just for the fun of a great day out centred around all things boating, we hope you have a wonderful time. Many marinas will be exhibiting at the show and you can read the latest marina news on page 80, plus Premier Marinas is celebrating 25 years in the marine business and you can read their story over on page 78.

HEARTBREAK ON HOME WATERS

Great Britain SailGP Team nose dive during the first official race of Cowes SailGP causing extensive damage to their F50. Image: Chris Cameron for SailGP

WITH the first day of racing at Cowes SailGP called off due to gale force winds and rough sea states across the UK and in the Solent, all six teams competing in this inaugural season of SailGP knew that Super Sunday in Cowes would be action packed. With winds on the Solent holding at between 18 – 22 knots, Dylan Fletcher, Great Britain SailGP team helm said before racing: “I think the hardest part is going to be that reach to run; the first bear away

around the top mark. Six boats, with that forecast, we will be getting close to and possibly punching over the 50 knot mark. It is going to be the first time all six boats are going that fast, that close together, so fingers crossed we all keep it clean and keep the rigs in the sky.” Thousands of fans came out in force to cheer on the red, white and blue wingsailed catamaran – a packed grandstand and bustling race village

welcomed the home team as they sailed just metres from the shore alongside their rivals from Australia, China, France, Japan and United States. Having exceeded expectations to take both wins in Thursday’s official practise racing, the pressure was on for the British to perform on home waters, but the team remained level headed going into the day’s racing. “It is going to be a big day. No doubt the more experienced teams are going be pushing hard – Image: Southampton Boatto Show there has been a lot of chat between us and them [Australia and Japan] but I am sure it will mean some good racing,” said Dylan. However, just seconds into the first of three scheduled fleet races, the American team was hit by a gust on the bear away and became the second team, following Great Britain in New York, to capsize the F50. Meanwhile Tom Slingsby’s Australian team stormed ahead as Dylan and team battled for second with rival Nathan Outteridge. Having rolled the Japanese to jump into second place, the British team then suffered a devastating crash, nose diving heavily into the Solent and throwing CEO and wing trimmer Chris Draper summersaulting. Thanks to the team’s tethers, Chris and the rest of the crew remained safely on board with no injuries besides bruises to show for the incident. Sadly, though, the damage to the boat was enough that it meant no more racing for the home team. With damage to the fairing, a broken

pedestal and hydraulic damage, the British F50 was towed from the race area while a further two races continued without them. “We were having a fairly safe but good race and when we went bow down we just broke the boat and unfortunately the tech team were not able to fix it so that was us game over for the day,” said a devastated Dylan Fletcher following the incident. “We saw in the practise races that we are capable of winning, so we need to get our boat back together and show that in the real races.” Tom Slingsby and his Australian crew had a storming event, winning all three Super Sunday races, breaking the 50 knot barrier during racing and gaining enough points to take the top spot on the overall standings, ahead of Japan. With a day of no sailing in New York following their capsize and now missing two races in Cowes, the Great Britain SailGP have slid from third to fourth in the standings. Rome Kirby and his American team made a fantastic recovery to go on and race the final two races following their capsize, which pushed them up into third place ahead of the British. A bitterly disappointing day for Dylan and his team, but let us see what the final in Marseille this month brings. Fans can expect the racing to be fierce, with three full days of competition planned, an ultimate winner-takes-all match race for the SailGP championship trophy and $1 million purse.

COWES WEEK ALTHOUGH probably one of the most challenging on record in terms of weather, Cowes Week 2019 turned out to be one of most successful with 100s of teams enjoying super-fast, exciting racing all week. Thankfully for the inaugural charity King’s Cup event on the Thursday before the start of Cowes Week the weather was ideal allowing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to take part in the event while Prince George and Princess Charlotte watched on. Winds of up to 50 knots on the opening Saturday – Sustainability Day – forced the cancellation of all racing, but this was the only whole day lost due to the weather. Although the race committee also took the decision to cancel the smaller White Group keelboats on the Sunday too (Family Day), with winds gusting up to 30 knots, the rest of the week was glorious, albeit a bit wet at times. Sir Peter Ogden and team on the Judel Vrolijk Mini Maxi Jethou stole the show from Johannes Schwarz on E1 the Volvo Open 70 (ex Green Dragon) in the Triple Crown, three-day series for IRC 0, winning the coveted Duke of Edinburgh Triple Crown Trophy. One of the highlights of the week was the competition for the Under 25 Trophy, which had one of the best prizes on offer – a chance for the skipper of the winning crew and guest to race in Antigua Sailing Week 2020 as part of the ASW Youth to Keel Programme. Not surprisingly this trophy was

extremely closely contested but the overall winner was Ollie Hill and his H2 Sailing Team on an SB20. With racing for the overall wins in both Black Group (large yachts) and White Group (small open dayboat classes) going down to the wire on the final day, competition was as intense as it was on the first day. With a consistent scoreline of first places in IRC Class 6, Giovanni Belgrano and his team aboard the 1939-built Laurent Giles designed classic – Whooper – took the overall Black Group title for the second time. Rounding up a truly successful week on the water, it was James Wilson and Ed Peel and team in their 1989-built Redwing – Quail – who not only won the Redwing class, and White Group overall with a clear scoreline of five first places but they took the overall win of Cowes Week. The Cowes Week prize-giving at Shepards Marina followed by a spectacular Red Funnel Fireworks extravaganza over the Solent on the Friday night marked the end of Cowes Week points series. However, a good turnout enjoyed the last day of Cowes Week racing for the Cowes Town Regatta on the final Saturday. Plans are already in place for Cowes Week 2020, which takes place between 8 - 15 August. Read more about in the regatta at All at Sea’s online news pages. www.allatsea.co.uk

TROPHY FOR LUCY Image: Southampton Boat Show

LUCY Macgregor is the winner of the Slingsby Ladies Day Trophy at Cowes Week. The trophy recognises the outstanding contribution, commitment or achievement of women in sailing and 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 Cowes Week; there were some 8,000 competitors taking part in the regatta this year and around a third of them were female. Lucy Macgregor is an Olympian and four-time World Champion in Women’s Match Racing - in the USA in 2010, Finland in 2017, Russia in 2018 and this summer in Lysekil, Sweden. In May this year, Lucy and her crew also finished fourth at the Argo Group Gold Cup in Bermuda Image: Facanv/Shutterstock - a Grade 1 (open) matching event. They are the only team for two years running in the event’s 68 year history to make the semifinals with a female helm. 2012 Olympians, Lucy and her sister Kate now have a

new challenge and have set their sights on winning gold at Tokyo 2020. Lucy said: “It is brilliant to win this, I certainly did not expect it. In terms of the world championships we have been doing recently, I certainly could not have achieved this on my own. There are a lot of girls who have been part of it. I know I have a lot of good friends who have won it before, so it is nice to be a part of that gang and see so many people here supporting the event and celebrating.” Nominees for the trophy also included Nikki Henderson and Hannah Mills. Nikki skippered Visit Seattle to second place in the 2017/2018 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race just two days after her 25th birthday. She was the youngest skipper in the race history. Hannah Mills MBE is now a two-time World Champion in the Women’s 470 class, having won in 2012 and 2019. Hannah won a silver medal in the 2012 Olympics and won gold at the same event at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

In addition to the Ladies Day trophy, the new Slingsby Best Female Helm Trophy was presented to Dawn Bee, racing on Haggis 2, as the female helm out racing with the best overall result. Kate Johnson, CWL’s commercial and marketing director said: “We were absolutely delighted to announce Lucy as this year’s winner. She is a shining example of what women can achieve. An out-and-out competitor, she embodies the spirit that underpins Slingsby Ladies Day at Cowes Week and is a thoroughly deserving winner. All our congratulations to her. We have been thrilled to see so many women racing this year with our youngest female helm today aged only 12 - one to watch!” On the shore Slingsby Ladies Day at Cowes Week was celebrated in style. Women showed their support for Ladies Day by wearing traditional seafaring navy-and-white stripes and enjoying many sponsor giveaways both on and off the water. www.cowesweek.co.uk

TEENAGE climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived in New York City after a two-week sail across the Atlantic aboard the high-tech racing yacht Malizia II. Upon arrival, the sailboat was met by Torqeedopowered electric boats to assist and escort the 60ft sailboat to its final berth in Manhattan. The Malizia II was also accompanied through the harbour by a small fleet of boats with sails representing the United Nations sustainability goals, and well-wishers on land and water, welcoming Greta to the United States. “We are honoured to help Greta with her mission and to play a part in calling attention to the threat posed by global warming and the

need to develop alternative non-carbon mobility solutions,” said Boris Herrmann, skipper of Team Malizia. The team faced the typical challenges of a transatlantic voyage including periods of heavy weather and the calms of the Sargasso Sea, but escaped many of the perils that could come from crossing against the prevailing winds during the Atlantic hurricane season. “We congratulate Team Malizia and Greta on their zero-carbon transatlantic crossing,” said Ballin, “and hope that their symbolic journey inspires people on both sides of the Atlantic to make progress towards climate-neutral mobility.”

HYTHE MARINA VILLAGE

ELA Miller from Christchurch and Steve Cayley from Torquay have claimed spots nine and 10 on the 2020 ilovesailing calendar, while the final two spots were secured by Shaun Roster and, again, Steve Cayley. Steve, who also secured spots on the 2018 and 2019 ilovesailing calendars said: “Wow, third year in a row! I am delighted and at the same time surprised. For me it is great to have my photography recognised in this way and given such a profile.” Steve went on to explain more about his winning shot entitled ‘Searching for clear air’: “I drove up from Devon at the crack of dawn to photograph the 2019 Round the Island Race from Hurst Point. Wind direction - south easterly - could not have been better as it resulted in the majority of the fleet flying spinnakers as they sailed towards Hurst and on to the Needles and with the sun backlighting the sails… Perfect!” Talking of his second winning photo entitled Image: Facanv/Shutterstock ‘Anticipation’ Steve added: “It was one of those mornings you are pleased you made the effort to

get up early. It was a gorgeous golden sunrise on the Exe Estuary with the mist making it all the more spectacular. And just when I thought the best of the conditions had passed the mist rolled back in resulting in this photo. Out of sight the crew of the first yacht on the mooring were on deck, waiting for the mist to clear, in anticipation of setting sail.” ‘Caribbean Dream’ is the title of the second winner for July taken by Ela Miller. Ela, who was also a winner in 2018, said: “Being chosen as a winner is delightful, just ducky. Thank you for the competition that prompts me to go out there to try to capture what sailing means to me.” Ela went on to explain more about her shot: “The photograph was taken on The Solent while on our little sailing holiday at the beginning of July. We so often glorify the foreign but do not appreciate what is on our doorstep. ‘Caribbean style sailing holidays’ are possible on our own waters, no need for a big, luxury yacht either. We had an amazing week on our 22ft, 40-year-old boat and capturing the essence of that holiday spirit in the photograph was a bonus.” Commenting on his winning photo entitled, ‘Mini Me – Cowes Week’, Shaun, who was also a winner in April, said: “I am delighted to have been selected yet again to feature in the 2020 ilovesailing calendar. This is one of my recent most favourite images and its great know it will be shared and enjoyed by a great many sailors in next year’s calendar. The image was taken during Cowes Week 2018 of Lady Mariposa, a Ker46 steaming downwind as the Quarter Tonner ‘Joker’ heads upwind.” The 2020 calendars will go on sale at the Southampton Boat Show in September, with the first 50 people to purchase a copy also receiving a free 2019 yellow ilovesailing rubber duck. Alternatively the calendars will be available to purchase via the RYA web shop, www.rya.org.uk/shop from 13 September.

MATES IN MIND

TWO teams of retired Olympic rowers will be joining the Mates in Mind team for the inaugural Regatta London, taking place on 29 September. The Regatta will be the first ever mass-participation paddlesports event taking place on a closed river Thames, due to the planned annual closure of the Thames Barrier that day. The challenge is a 12-mile route for kayaks and stand up paddleboards, and 14 miles for rowers, with the routes passing many of the iconic landmarks along the Thames. Olympian Cameron Nichol has put together two

rowing teams of eight, one male, one mixed and said: “As a group of retired Olympians and international rowers who are now after great experiences, rather than high octane start lines, Regatta London is a perfect event. The opportunity to be on the water on a closed River Thames in the middle of London, with thousands of people as well as old friends - we wanted to do it the minute we heard about it! “What is more we are doing this to raise funds for Mates in Mind - a fantastic charity that is promoting awareness and providing support and resources to help improve mental wellbeing of people at work. There is a clear link between physical and mental wellbeing and as former athletes that have experienced a high-pressure

environment, the transition into the workplace with optimal mental health is a cause close to our hearts. James Rudoni, managing director of Mates in Mind, said: “We are delighted to be involved with the first ever Regatta London as a Headline Charity Partner and excitedly welcome the support of these former Olympians led by Cameron Nichol, who will be out there rowing on the day for Team Mates in Mind. “As we know mental illness and mental ill-health does not discriminate – it is something that can affect anyone at any point regardless of ability. What we need to remember is that you are not alone - and an event such as this is an opportunity to help remind people of that.” www.matesinmind.org

CLIPPER VENTURES CALLS FOR INDEPENDENT INQUIRY

Images: onEdition

FOLLOWING an investigation into the tragic death of Simon Speirs (pictured), Clipper Ventures has called on the Department for Transport to hold an independent inquiry to establish the full extent of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Marine Accident Investigation Branch investigatory teams’ failure of professionalism, impartiality and honesty. On the 18 November 2017, Simon Speirs, a 60-year-old retired solicitor, fell overside whilst helping to reduce sail. The yacht, CV30, owned by Clipper Ventures, was participating in the Clipper Round the World Race and was experiencing increasing winds and sea state in the Southern Ocean. Mr Speirs was tethered to the boat, but fell overside due to a freak failure

of a tether safety clip. Although he was recovered he could not be resuscitated. The accident was investigated by both the MCA and MAIB, and their conclusions are the “cause of considerable concern”. At a meeting between Clipper Ventures and the new CEO of the MCA held on 25 July 2019, it was revealed that, after a new enquiry into the actions of the MCA Enforcement Official who had initiated and headed up a number of investigations concerning Clipper Ventures, multiple errors and distortions of the truth had been discovered, as follows: The MCA claimed there was a vessel within 60 miles of the yacht that could have taken the body home for burial. They have now admitted this was not true. The nearest vessel was 1,500 miles away, or five to six days. It was an MCA Enforcement official who told Mrs Speirs of this non-existent nearby vessel. The MCA admitted that Clipper Ventures had advised the Department for Transport and the MCA prior to holding a burial at sea, but their official did not respond. The MCA have admitted that in the circumstances Clipper Ventures were right to hold the burial at sea. The MAIB report issued on 20 June 2019 contained a number of errors, including stating Clipper Ventures

had not carried out any of their recommendations, which is inaccurate. Clipper Ventures state that all recommendations in the report had been implemented, except for the inspection by the MCA which was due to the MCA’s lack of resources. Clipper Ventures, therefore made the decision to have its systems assessed, and approved, by two independent auditors. The freak failure of the safety tether on the 18 November 2017 is being examined by the sailing industry. The MAIB report acknowledged Clipper Ventures’ investigation into safety tethers (which was carried out with the MAIB on board), and its introduction of a double tether system exceed industry standards. However, the industry learnings have been diluted by a number of factual errors in the MAIB report. Clipper Ventures go on to say that the MCA and MAIB investigations followed remarkably parallel courses and “it has to be suspected that significant and improper influence was applied to the MAIB investigation by the MCA team. Clipper Ventures has often complained of lack of impartiality at the MAIB, a belief now held more strongly than ever. The safety of its crew is the highest priority for Clipper Ventures and has been since the race was established in 1996.”

Image: Southampton Boat Show SOME 220 ordinary people from all walks of life, representing 29 different nationalities, departed St. Katharine Docks, London, in front of thousands of spectators, to embark on the twelfth edition of the 40,000nm global sailing challenge, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. The first race for the 11 teams is to the Algarve town of Portimão, Portugal, then the teams will race 30 days to Punta del Este, Uruguay. The Clipper Race is unique in that it trains everyday people to sail around the world and is open to anyone aged 18 and over. 40 percent of participants have no sailing experience (each crew is led by a professional Skipper and First Mate) before signing up for the four weeks of intensive training needed to take part. In this edition, there are more than 350 different occupations including doctors, farmers, teachers, retirees and a safari leader. Nearly 700 non-professional crew will take on Mother Nature in this ocean challenge

with 43 different nationalities represented, making it the most international edition to date. Legendary sailor and Clipper Race chairman, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, who was there to see the fleet off, said: “The Clipper Race is for anyone wanting to do something extraordinary with their lives. By the end of this challenge, you see crew standing tall, their self-confidence having grown, knowing they have done something very special with their lives.” Sir Robin, the first person to sail solo, non-stop, around the planet, 50 years ago, founded the race to allow anyone, regardless of experience, the chance to share his passion for ocean racing. He added: “Why paint your life in pastel shades? Paint it in bright colours and enjoy every moment of it!” The Clipper Race will return to London almost a year later for the Race Finish on 8 August, when one of the teams will be awarded the illustrious Clipper Race trophy.

FIRST SHOUT SMILES

FOLLOWING a sighting of an unusual object in the water by a UK Coastguard helicopter, heading south Image: Facanv/Shutterstock over Loch Ness, the Sheila and Dennis Tongue IV lifeboat was launched to investigate. Initial reports had suggested it appeared to be some sort of balloon, but operating on the basis that it is better to be safe than sorry, it was decided the object was worth checking up on. On arrival at the scene, the team were able to locate the balloon very quickly, and thanks to the very calm conditions on the loch, could establish that there was no-one else in the surrounding area in distress. New recruit Kieron Tarling spoke about his first Shout, saying: “I could not have really asked for a better first Shout, everyone was safe and completely professional, but we did get a bit of a laugh with regards to the casualty.” www.rnli.org

OCEAN SAILING

Out this month is a new book by Paul Heiney, Ocean Sailing - The Offshore Cruising Experience with Real-life Practical Advice. This reference guide brings together practical advice from the world’s experts on ocean sailing.

SPOTTED

Image: Rolex Fastnet Race/ Carlo Borlenghi

Image: Paul Wyeth/pwpictures.com

WIND direction as much as strength defined the 48th edition of the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s Rolex Fastnet Race. A rare southeasterly for start day, which held through most of the first night, saw competitors sailing a straight line down the western Solent and out into the Channel. Image: Facanv/Shutterstock When the new breeze filled in from the southwest, it never veered much further right than due west making for a tight reach across the Celtic Sea. This was anything but the typical ‘300 mile beat to the Fastnet Rock’ but made for a fast race with records tumbling from the Ultims to the Sigma 38s. It also confirmed the Rolex Fastnet Race’s position as the world’s largest offshore race with 388 starters, setting a new record, up from the 362 of 2017. As usual the race was a magnificent showcase of the complete range of offshore racing hardware, from French state-of-the-art racers like the Ultims, IMOCA 60s and Class40s, to the bulk of entries in the huge IRC fleet, competing for the race’s top prize - the Fastnet Challenge Cup. These ranged from the world’s leading maxis, to top pro-am teams, to family and yacht club or charity or sailing school entries, for many of whom the Rolex Fastnet Race would represent the pinnacle of their sailing careers. This year’s race was also unique in taking place the week before Cowes Week and starting on a Saturday not a Sunday. Fortunately come start day while the

American yacht Rambler was the first monohull to round the Fastnet Rock in last month’s Rolex Fastnet Race.

southeasterly was forecast to be ultra-light, especially in the western Solent in the lee of the Isle of Wight, in fact it was strong enough to propel the fleet along, assisted by a strongly ebbing spring tide. Stars of the first night were British IMOCA 60 skipper Pip Hare sailing doublehanded with ‘fastest sailor in the world’ Australian Paul Larsen. As the wind shut down and the tide turned foul mid-Channel, even the fastest monohulls in the fleet were making no progress. Meanwhile to the north, Pip and Paul were trickling along. Remarkably, by midnight, they found themselves not only leading the IMOCA 60s, but the entire monohull fleet, including George David’s Rambler 88 and Seng Huang Lee’s Dovell 100 SHK Scallywag. Inevitably the large IRC monohulls eventually overtook them before the Lizard but it took until midday Sunday, approaching the Scillies, for them to be overtaken by another IMOCA 60 – not bad for a 19-year-old charter boat. First into Plymouth were the new generation flying Ultims, who enjoyed a hair-raising finish. Maxi Edmond de Rothschild led around the Fastnet Rock, but lost the lead to Francois Gabart’s MACIF which seemed to have the race bagged. However, in a last roll of the dice on the final gybe Maxi Edmond de Rothschild overstood and approached the line on a hotter angle. In a fading breeze she was able to fly when MACIF was not, causing her to overtake and win by just 58 seconds. Maxi Edmond de Rothschild’s time of 1d 4h 2m 26s, bettered the outright multihull race record, set by Maxi Banque Populaire in 2011 by 4h 45m 34s. Behind there was a major tussle for monohull line honours between the more experienced Rambler 88 and the longer SHK Scallywag. On the first night both erred too far south allowing David and Peter Askew’s VO70 Wizard to get ahead. SHK Scallywag led past the Lizard, but the beam and power of Rambler 88 prevailed on the way to the Rock, which they rounded some 17 minutes ahead, setting a new record of 26h 45m 47s. From here Rambler 88 remained in front to claim her second consecutive line honours, although not breaking Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing’s 2011 monohull race record. Ultimately the overall winner of this year’s Rolex Fastnet Race were the Askews and their immaculately sailed Wizard. The Baltimore-based brothers are currently on a winning streak that started with last year’s Newport Bermuda race and continued this season with the RORC Caribbean 600 and the Transatlantic Race 2019. They sailed with a crack crew led by two-time Volvo Ocean Race skipper Charlie Enright with the fastidious Will Oxley navigating and other leading round the world race luminaries including past winners Rob Greenhalgh and Richard Clarke. “To win the race is unbelievable,” said David Askew. “Obviously the Rolex Fastnet Race is one of the premier ocean racing events in the world and has a magnificent history going back way before I was born, and I am an old guy!” Once again this year’s race was French-dominated. While Wizard brought to an end France’s three race winning streak, France won every class with the exception of IRC Zero. But even there the Askew’s campaign had French roots – Wizard was previously Franck Cammas’ 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race winner Groupama 4. www.rolexfastnetrace.com

NEWS SNAPS LASER CHAMP

Teenage race ace Matilda Nicholls proved why she has been earmarked as ‘one to watch’ as she sailed to victory at the Laser Radial Youth World Championships. The 17-yearold from Durley, Southampton, won by 13 points over Australia’s Paige Caldecoat, with Ireland’s Eve McMahon coming home third. The result is the latest in a run of victories for Matilda, who will now join the British Sailing Team and compete against the world’s best Olympic athletes.

WEATHER COURSE

The Little Ship Club has been in touch to remind All at Sea readers that amongst the many courses they run there is a Practical Weather Forecasting course which shows how to combine information from a wide range of sources to produce a forecast for your part of the sea, sometimes with better accuracy than professional data sources alone can achieve. You can find out about this and other courses at littleshipclub.co.uk/training.

YOUR FLOATING ARK

Image: Thornham Marina / The Trafalgar Group

Walcon Marine has been working with the Trafalgar Group to create new luxury floating boat accommodation at Thornham Marina near Chichester, Hampshire. The companies collaborated to design and build pontoons to provide the base platforms for the Ark 900s. Concealed beneath the decking of the pontoon base units is the floatation needed to support the structure, plus the required plumbing and electrical systems. The Arks themselves are built with wooden exterior shells in clinkerbuilt style over a steel frame.

JOSH’S CLIPPER TEAM

The Quang Ninh Province, in northeast Vietnam, has signed a two edition deal with the Clipper Race. The Province is home to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage site Ha Long Bay and it is this natural wonder that will be a team entry, named Ha Long Bay, Viet Nam, in the Clipper 2019-20 Race and then return as both a Team and Host Port Partner in 2021-22. The Ha Long Bay, Viet Nam team will be skippered by British skipper, Josh Stickland who featured in last month’s Boating People in All at Sea.

STRESS-FREE READ

Having presented techniques for sailing and motorboating in an accessible, manageable fashion in his previous books, Duncan Wells now turns his attention to navigation. Stress-Free Navigation covers the basic introductory elements and progresses through more advanced techniques for experienced navigators, so that there is something for everyone.

CLASS TAKES SHAPE

THE recently formed UK IC37 Class Association has announced that it has received its first commitment from a UK owner as the One Design circuit being created for 2020 takes shape. Ian Atkins, a well-known Solent based yachtsman, has committed to the first UK based boat. Ian also takes on the important role of Chair for the new class association, leading an owners’ committee dedicated to spearheading the growth of the UK fleet. Ian said: “I have raced sailboats for many years under various handicap rules – IOR, CHS, IRC - but the most fun and excitement was always in One Design. Since the days of the Ton Cups, One Design racing has always attracted the top sailors. “Having owned a number of smaller One Designs – Cork 1720, J80, J70 - it was hard to see any obvious boat to progress into – so I went motorboat cruising for a few years. Having followed IC37 developments across the pond, and now having had the chance to sail the first UK boat, it is clear that this is a great design that can re-ignite OD racing in the UK.”

The UK IC37 Class has already finalised five key events in its calendar for 2020 and is planning more with the support of two of the UK’s leading yacht clubs. Detailed discussions with a number of potential new owners is well underway, and delivery slots are available for spring 2020. Building on the concept and success of this Mark Mills design, the IC37 Class is looking to build on the foundations that are already in place, with the programmes led by the New York Yacht Club in the USA, by bringing regattas to the European and, specifically, UK stage. The thought process for the IC37 was always to put the power back into the hands of the Corinthian owner and amateur team, by moving away from the high budget, high stress classes that are operating on the world stage. These classes often leave a substantial gap in the market for those sailors who are just looking for fun sailing, with potent performance and, most importantly, ease of use. www.melgesic37class.com ancasta.com/boats-for-sale/new-boats/ melges/ic/ic37

WORLD SAILING SETS NEW ENVIRONMENTAL TARGETS WORLD Sailing, the world governing body of the sport, has set an ambitious challenge to the marine industry to push the boundaries of low carbon innovation for support boats at international events. Titled Challenge 2024 and announced at Monaco Yacht Club’s Solar and Energy Boat Challenge, it is closely linked to World Sailing’s Sustainability Agenda 2030 targets. The targets are linked to the use of coach and support boats with the aim to: 1. Reduce the number of coach boats with combustion engines by 50 per cent

(vs 2017) that are allowed at World Sailing organised Olympic Class events by 2024. This will be safety dependent; 2. Specify that all official boats (safety dependent) used at World Sailing organised Olympic Class events will not be solely reliant on fossil fuels for propulsion by 2025. Dan Reading, World Sailing’s head of sustainability, said: “We want to challenge the industry to provide solutions that will reduce the carbon footprint and running costs of support boats at sailing events. Our members have agreed policy

A scene from Manry at Sea

changes to reduce the number of support boats at our events but we also want to encourage a low carbon fleet developed that are accessible to all.” Georgina Grenon, director of environmental excellence at Paris 2024, said: “Paris 2024 is engaged in delivering a fully carbon neutral Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Organising Committee is seeking innovative solutions that will contribute to reduce the climate and environmental impact of sports activities, and reducing the use of combustion engines is clearly a target.”

MANRY AT SEA

IN 1965 Robert Manry sailed the 13’ 6” sloop Tinkerbelle from Falmouth, Massachusetts to Falmouth, Cornwall. The voyage took 78 days. He had slipped out of harbour in the USA unnoticed but was welcomed with Beatlemania-like crowds in Cornwall. Manry at Sea - In the Wake of a Dream is a documentary film by Steve Wystrach that tells this unique story. A 40 minute edition of the film (full film is 94 minutes) can be seen at the Ocean Film Festival 2019, which tours the UK and Ireland in September and October. The event includes a selection of short films telling seafaring stories from both above and below the water’s surface. www.oceanfilmfestival.co.uk

POWERING AHEAD SIMON EVERETT ROUNDS UP THIS MONTH’S ENGINE NEWS. Mercury is celebrating 80 years

Sustainable propulsion is used on Niagara’s Maid of the Mist. Image: Lissandra Melo/Shutterstock

WOW, it is that time again already. Where did that year go? The Southampton Boat Show is going to be even more important this year with no London Show to get to see the new engines, talk about repowering deals, find out about battery replacements or a new prop. Electronics are becoming more and more integrated, further complicating what is, essentially, a simple means of propelling a boat and making decision making more involved. Mercury is continuing their celebrations by showcasing their new 450R outboard, a racing engine, together with a couple of engines from the 1960s and 1980s on display to highlight how changes in design have taken place over the eight decades of Mercury Marine. Barrus is also keen to collect any pictures of old engines you may have owned. If you would like to take part, email your pictures to marine. leisure@barrus.co.uk or tag them at @mercuryoutboardsuk for Facebook, or hashtag them #mercuryturns80 for Twitter and Instagram. Entrants are in with a chance of winning show tickets and goodie bags on the Barrus stand at the show.

letting the cat out of the bag can be rather beneficial. Wills Marine have a stand at the show and they are a BRP dealer; those nice folks have let me know that BRP will be two stands away, which leads me to believe they shall be showcasing their fresh revelation in the form of the new Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards. The three new engines are all 3-cylinder blocks, which are basically half of their larger, V6, sister lumps, and provide 115hp, 140hp and 150hp respectively. BRP state in their blurb: Delivering more torque and more fuel efficiency at low revs compared to similar four-stroke motors, the new E-TEC G2 supply all the power when it is really needed, at low and mid revs, to give boaters a pleasant and efficient navigation. Beside their performance, all the E-TEC G2 engines are fully compliant with emission limits, all over the world, and allow a trouble-free navigation thanks to zero breaking-in time, five years or 500 hours warranty and no need for oil replacement. Worth a gander in my book, I love the E-TEC motors and so do a fair few commercial operators.

EVINRUDE

SELVA

Evinrude is a bit elusive with regard to gaining foresight as to what is happening in their trench. However, when it comes to letting the boating public know about your new marvels of technology, then

Not to be outdone, Selva Marine is also launching the largest stand-alone Selva outboard yet. Their new model is the 200hp Sei Whale, a 2785cc, in-line 4 cylinder with double overhead cams

The new Selva 100hp is called the Spearfish

Sei Whale 200 EFI – new from Selva Marine

and variable cam timing. This refined outboard also benefits from electronic gear shift and throttle control and comes in at just 227kgs for the long shaft model, making it ideal for RIBs in the 6 - 6.5 bracket, amongst other craft.

Selva Amberjack 25 EFI

Also from the Italian stable comes news of a new Selva 100hp called the Spearfish. With 200cc greater capacity than the previous model, torque is increased along with mid-range power by utilising an offset crank, longer stroke, tuned air inlet tract for better breathing coupled to a 16 valve head. To enable a bigger prop to be swung the gearbox ratio has been reduced for greater pulling power. These are just a few of the great new engines that will be on display and I have no doubt deals will be there to be done. What are you waiting for? Get your tickets booked!

The Photo of the Month winner will receive a bottle of Spytail Ginger Rum! Every month the Photo of the Month winner will receive a bottle of Spytail Ginger Rum, based on a 19th Century French recipe of infusing fresh ginger and spices in Cognac barrels. Spytail Ginger Rum is available across the UK in an eye-catching bottle, celebrating the intrigue and mystery of French underwater exploration. Spytail is a blend of aged Caribbean rums, blended and bottled at a small distillery by La Compagnie Bathysphere in the Cognac Region of France – an area famous for spirits craftsmanship. The name ‘Spytail’ was discovered by the distillers stamped on an early engineering drawing for a submarine in the local maritime archive. They also discovered that, while submarines sailed along the bottom of the Charente River, ships laden with rum and ginger followed the same route from the Caribbean. Serving suggestion: On the Rocks, with ginger beer, cola or ginger and in a wide variety of cocktails. www.spytailrum.com Send in your photos now!

NIMBUS AT EXE As the gleaming new yachts and powercraft start assembling at Southampton for the 51st boat show, further along the coast to the West, at the picturesque location of Exe Sailing Club at Exmouth, a superb example of the UK’s early dominance in the small boat scene is also being put on display. 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

o understand the significance of the boat that was very much the centre of attention, we have to travel back nearly 90 years to the early 1930s, to a period when Southampton and the Solent were already famed for the design and build of racing yachts. At the time dinghy racing was still a much smaller sport that was in its infancy, but around the South Coast the foundations were already in place for it to develop into an international sport, and today, the area is still a vital hub in the sport. At the heart of these early developments would be none other than Uffa Fox, who from his Cowes headquarters had introduced the planing hull to the world of small boats in 1928 with his ground-breaking design for the International 14 Avenger. It was already well known that under extreme conditions, the International 14s could plane, when the fast moving hull developed sufficient dynamic lift to lift up and skate away on the surface of the water at a far higher speed that can be reached whilst in displacement mode. In Avenger, Fox had produced a design which would plane far more readily, with the boat racing away to leave all the others behind. So dominant was Avenger that in 1928 alone, in 57 races she scored 52 firsts. Nor was it just the design that elevated the Uffa Fox boats above the rest, as Fox closely scrutinised the construction of the hull at his Isle of Wight boatyard, where he was insistent that the hull weight had to be strictly managed and reduced where possible.

A rare feature in modern dinghies, but the pre-war designs often used a lot of ‘tumblehome’ in the aft sections

about building his latest International 14 design for none other than Alan Colman of the Colman’s Mustard family. With Colman based on the East Coast, the new boat, registered as number 316 and christened Nimbus, would be based at the busy yachting centre at Lowestoft. The International 14s have always been what is called a ‘restricted development’ class of dinghy, which allowed a great deal of freedom in the shape of the hull, with this feature encouraging designers to experiment. With each new design, owners would move on to the next, hopefully faster version and it was not long before Nimbus was sold on to an Exeter based doctor, John Heal. The war years would then intervene in the story, but in 1946 Nimbus would be purchased by a returning serviceman, John Westell. John had wanted to

design and build his own boat, but the post war restrictions on the use of building materials made it easier for him to buy and modify an existing boat. For the next two years, John Westell and Nimbus would enjoy success out on the racecourse, before the pressures of work as an assistant editor at the sailing magazine Yachts and Yachting, plus the demands of becoming a married man, would see the boat sold on again and at this point it vanished from the records. John Westell, though, would go on to enjoy a great career as a journalist and designer (with his iconic 505 dinghy still being at the pinnacle of the sport of dinghy sailing) and as a forward-looking builder of innovative boats. RETURN OF NIMBUS Meanwhile, the lightly built pre-war racing dinghies had nearly all been

BIRTH OF NIMBUS Thanks to Uffa Fox and his International 14s, the Solent was now flourishing as a dinghy venue, which would see local businesses springing up to build boats and gear that would be exported not just across the UK, but all across the globe. In 1934, Fox’s workshop would set

AFTER - Not just beautifully restored, but as close as possible to how a boat would have been in 1934

broken up or lost, with just a few examples left gathering dust in museums. It came as something of a surprise, therefore, when in 2017, Nimbus was amongst the items listed for sale in an auction. The passage of 70 or more years had not been kind to the boat, but once John’s daughter, Gillian Westell, had heard that her father’s boat would be coming up for sale, its situation would soon improve. Friendly contacts would all weigh in with offers of assistance, with the fragile hull of Nimbus being carefully recovered from her resting place without causing any further damage. East coast boatbuilder Simon Hipkin was entrusted with the complex task of stopping the rot (the gunwales on Nimbus had clearly been home to many generations of woodworm) before starting on the restoration of the hull. Although looking like a moulded hull, in 1934 Fox was building his racing dinghies using carvel construction, with two thicknesses of planks, diagonal on the inside, fore and aft on the exterior, braced internally by rock-elm ribs. Gillian’s request to Simon had been for as sympathetic a restoration as possible, which has resulted in Nimbus being not only a stunningly beautiful example of the boatbuilder’s art, but one that is as close as possible to how the boat would have been in its heyday. Collars, the Oxfordshire based maker of classic wooden spars was tasked with recreating the original lofty mast, whilst top sailmaker Mike McNamara was able to make a suit of sails from a more modern cloth that still looked like cotton. HOME WATERS After a short test sail to ensure that everything was as it should be, Nimbus returned to her home on the Exe Estuary, with the intention that it would be part of an exhibition of sailing, only for the weather to come between the boat and the water, for Nimbus is indeed an elderly lady that needs very gentle handling. She did, however, take pride of place at the head of the slipway, where her return to health was toasted by Gillian Westell and a large number of Exe SC members. She may be a long way removed from the modern boats on display at Southampton, but the gleam from the peerlessly varnished topsides will make Nimbus the star of the show wherever she goes.

EXPANSION PLANS FOR 2020

HAPPY MEMORIES

AFTER an already record-breaking 2019 season, PlainSailing.com has announced plans to offer charters from bases in Turkey, Spain and Malta for the 2020 season, to give coverage right across the Mediterranean. Bookings are now being taken for 2020, and the new destinations will go live on PlainSailing.com in late 2019. Tommy Tognarelli, founder of PlainSailing.com, said: “When we started PlainSailing.com, we wanted to offer sailors an extensive range of places to charter yachts and catamarans from, with an extraordinary level of service and expertise – and with these new bases, we are doing it.

“Our plans for 2020 will see us partnering with all the very best charter operators in the whole of the Mediterranean cruising ground, giving our customers an amazing 36 charter bases to choose from. There is a distance of over 2,500nm from Turkey to Spain, and a fabulous mix of cultures, languages, food and drink in-between. “People can already charter with us in classic destinations like Greece, up-and-coming Montenegro, luxurious Saint Tropez, the wilderness of Croatia and the glorious Amalfi coast in Italy – but now we are adding exotic Turkey, historic Malta and stunning Spanish destinations to the mix. www.plainsailing.com

YOU may not be able to buy happiness but you can buy a holiday abroad with your loved ones. A recent survey of almost 2,000 holidaymakers from Holiday Hypermarket has revealed 88 per cent believe a holiday abroad with loved ones would bring them the most genuine happiness in comparison to material goods such as a new car or mobile phone. Respondents were asked to consider their expected level of happiness immediately after making a purchase, and then asked how much happiness they would expect their purchase to still bring them after one month, one year and five years. The purchase options included a holiday with loved ones (followed by the

SUCCESSFUL SELLING oatshed.co

redefining yacht bro erage for

years.

eptember 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of Boatshed.com with 20,000 reasons to keep growing after its first 20 years of success. Back in 1999, while many of us might have been strutting our stuff to Britney Spears, munching popcorn while watching Notting Hill – or simply going into meltdown in fear of the impending Millennium Bug – something quite extraordinary was happening in a quiet corner of Milford Haven Marina. With the experience of a dramatic air-sea rescue from a Force 10 storm in the Bay of Biscay the previous year, a passion for sailing was turning into a lifestyle as Boatshed.com opened its first brokerage office. But for husband and wife team Neil and Mandy Chapman, little did they know at the time just how much their business idea was going to revolutionise the yacht brokerage industry. Now 20 years on – and more than 20,000 boat sales later – the Boatshed story is one of remarkable success and achievement.

TRUE ENTREPRENEURSHIP TAKES THE HELM

Co-founder Mandy Chapman vividly remembers the early days – for all the wrong reasons. “We did not sell a single boat in our first six months and I was using my skills as a former graphic designer creating the website and to work on boat upholstery in the office to make ends meet. “And as we were using a film camera to take photos of the boats we were trying to sell, I was forever back and forth to the local chemists to get the films developed. It was costing us a small fortune,” added Mandy. “We economised by staying on board our Rebel 41 yacht Supertaff, but our hard work and perseverance was soon to pay off. In our second six months we sold 118 boats and we purchased our first digital camera!” So what was behind this impressive turnaround in sales? Co-founder of Boatshed.com, Neil Chapman believes there were two key factors that influenced how Boatshed.com would flourish. “As a start-up, we were living on the cusp of the digital age as far as yacht brokerage was concerned,” explained Neil. “We saw an opportunity to seize the developing technologies and integrate them into a business model that could be rolled out on a global basis. “At the heart of this,” added Neil, “was the need to transform how buyers and sellers of boats could come together in a process that was faster, easier and more fulfilling in every aspect of the purchase and sale of a boat.”

GLOBAL COVERAGE WITH LOCAL PRESENCE

Totally convinced about the potential of Boatshed.com, Neil and Mandy set about building an international team to provide the local presence and knowledge that

was to be paramount in supporting the intuitive digital technologies that set the business apart from others in the industry. Boatshed offices in Ireland and Gibraltar formed the early part of the

Never one to miss an opportunity for publicity, Supertaff and her crew led the Sail 8 flotilla to France and back to help create awareness for Bob Geldof’s Live 8 bid to get world leaders to tackle poverty at the forthcoming G8 Summit in Gleneagles.

hours later as the Boatshed crew was invited backstage at Murrayfield where the Live 8 concert was being staged. The Boatshed name took to the water again in 2005 with the sponsorship of an Offshore 225hp powerboat, while on dry land more brokerage offices were opening their doors in Portsmouth, the Hamble, the Algarve and Spain.

It was also the year in which Boatshed purchased the Grade II listed Engine House at Royal Clarence Yard in Gosport. With refurbishment to follow, this was to become the international headquarters for the Boatshed.com organisation.

ROLLING OUT THE FORMULA FOR SUCCESS The next five years saw continued growth with a new office in Cowes, expansion into the USA and Asia, and the introduction of Boatshed Performance to cater for the niche market of racing yachts. By September 2006, more than 100,000 registered users had signed up to Boatshed.com – progress recognised with a Top 10 Award for its industry website ranking and a Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the Boating Business exhibition in 2007. “The first 10 years of Boatshed.com exceeded all our expectations,” said Neil.

“From selling 118 boats in our first year to 124 boat sales in a single month in 2009 is quite phenomenal. None of this could have been achieved without the enthusiasm and work ethic of the amazing team who have made Boatshed.com what it is today.” Fast-forward to 2019 and Boatshed.com is now established and respected as one of the world’s largest international yacht brokers. With representation through more than 70 offices in 16 countries, award-winning technologies and 880,000 registered users, Neil, Mandy and the HQ team are relishing the challenges of the next 20 years. “We never forget that our customers are the most important part of our business,” added Mandy.“Boatshed’s high level of local customer service has to fit and interconnect with national and international customer and brokerage requirements. And it is this fusion of local and international, traditional and modern that makes the essence of what Boatshed is all about.”

EXPERTS’ FORUM GETTING IT RIGHT WHEN POWERING YOUR BOAT

NICK HOLLAND IS A MARINE DIVISION INTERNATIONAL SALES MANAGER FOR MASTERVOLT AND POWERPRODUCTS. THE majority of boats, dinghies aside, depend on electricity. Whilst new boats will most likely come with professionally installed systems, older vessels that have had multiple owners and various amounts of changes and additions to on board equipment usually encounter power and electrical issues at some point. This can result in problems that drain your patience and your wallet and that could be a danger. Remembering that the most common cause of on board fires is a fault in the electrical system, it is worth checking on board systems regularly.

BATTERY BOTHER Without a doubt, the most common problem area is in the installation of batteries - both engine-starting batteries and those used to service house loads. Batteries should be installed in a dry location and at a sufficient height above the bilge that a hull flooding incident will not immediately submerge the batteries and short them out. Some batteries, especially older ones, generate hydrogen gas while charging; hydrogen gas is highly explosive and corrosive to most metals and rubber products. Thus, hoses, wiring, fuel and oil lines should never be located ABOVE batteries as this gas is lighter than air and will rise. Most modern batteries, and all Mastervolt batteries, are in a sealed

casing, but older ones may not be and it is highly recommended that batteries be mounted in rugged, covered plastic boxes. This is to contain the inevitable sulfuric acid leaks, this acid being very damaging to all materials and most metals. All batteries need to be kept in an area that is well ventilated as if they do leak gas, and even sealed batteries can leak if the casing is compromised, the gas is, as said, explosive. If there is more than one battery in place, there needs to be a minimum space between them (check manufacturer guidelines). Finally, ensure both the positive and negative battery terminals have insulating covers on them. Otherwise, this could be dangerous if a metal object falls on the terminals while underway.

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. BAD CONNECTIONS The most common fault with electrical circuits on boats is bad wiring connections and not the short circuit, as is often believed. Faulty wiring causes an interruption to the electrical current by the creation of an ‘open’ in the electrical flow of a circuit. This can be caused by a faulty crimp connection or a friction connector that simply unplugs itself. Two handy hints to remember if undertaking wiring yourself are: Marine wiring requires the use of multi-stranded wire throughout Remember to limit the number of cable terminal lugs on a stud to four. This is so that the lugs can be ‘fanned’ out so that the flat surfaces of the lugs can be tightened properly against each other and a good connection for all wires is made. INVERTERS Inverter installations have become increasingly popular, giving boaters the

ability to convert DC battery power to AC power and run things like TVs, microwaves and to recharge the myriad of electronic devices that many consider necessary. The problem is often the size of inverter is incorrect for the installations as start-up loads or surges are not accounted for. Often starting loads can be three to five times the operating load and an incorrect size inverter will simply trip its output circuit breaker. Furthermore, incorrect wire size often results in inverter issues too as high demand loads try to operate. Follow manufacturer guidelines on where to locate an inverter on board – not all are built as sealed units and able to withstand excessive heat (engine room) or damp and salty places. 02380 381660 / www.mastervolt.com Mastervolt is part of Power Products, which includes various leading brands within its Marine, Mobile & Industrial division.

CHECKLIST FOR A GOOD ON BOARD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: ■ Determine your power requirements ■ Provide adequate power storage and starting capacity ■ Regularly check the voltage across battery terminals – if voltage drops below about 10.5 volts, the battery may need replacing ■ Buying a multimeter to keep on board is a worthwhile investment ■ Provide the proper charging that your on board systems need ■ Be sure your wiring is approved for marine use and connections are sound ■ Check fuses are the right size for the circuit they are on (for example, do not upgrade your windlass without checking if the fuse will be able to cope with the increased power draw) ■ Be sure that all safety requirements are met

As CEO of British Marine how involved do you get with the Southampton oat how As a team we are all very hands on and I love to understand and get involved in all aspects of planning the event and embrace the opportunity to engage with members, though I am lucky to have a team of passionate marine and event experts who I trust to deliver a fantastic edition of our flagship consumer event.

an you share any sur rises that we can ex ect at this year’s show A wow from the offset. This year we are completely rethinking the visitor journey when entering the show by creating an interactive experience welcoming each visitor with a preview of what is to come. The Entrance will be housed in a structure and will include features which will help to bust boating jargon, explain our environmental position and promote the sector’s skills and career opportunities. Also our new Try-a-Dive with Andark attraction is set to be impressive. The large purpose-built dive tank is the perfect opportunity for visitors to experience a whole new underwater world.

I love getting out on the water whilst my husband is not so keen, so paddleboarding is the perfect and easiest way for me to take to the water when we are on holiday. With close to 1.38m Brits now going paddle/ body boarding or surfing every year, and these sports enjoying the highest increase in volume of participants of any boating or watersports activity over the last 10 years, paddleboarding always proves a popular choice for visitors looking to get out on the water with our free Get Afloat attraction. We expect this year to be no different.

ith the ondon how one what im act has this had on outham ton For many marine businesses, both UK-based and international, the Southampton International Boat Show, powered by Borrow A Boat is currently their prime standalone opportunity to showcase their brand and products to an established British market with thousands of potential customers. Last year we had over 20 companies who exhibited at London previously exhibiting at Southampton for the first time, and we saw a huge rise in the number of companies increasing the size of their stands. This year there appears to be no let up with interest from exhibitors remaining high. For us it is an even more important opportunity to get as many people as we can out boating and trialling watersports and direct all our efforts into

First, we identified our new vision of ‘a thriving industry delivering amazing on-water experiences for everyone’ and our mission of ‘delivering outstanding services, representation and products to promote the sustainable success of our members’. To achieve this, we created a quality-led National Agenda, which identifies five key areas of focus for the Association’s work over the years ahead. These include Participation, People & Skills, Environment, Technology & Innovation and Representation.

e ha e to ask about rexit ow do you feel it is impacting on the marine industry now and when we finally exit the The uncertainty surrounding Brexit has seen both an overall decrease in business confidence among marine companies and consumer confidence in the UK. However, a weakened pound has provided support to exports and more British holiday makers have been staying in the UK, meaning nearly a third of tourism businesses are remaining positive about the future. The potential conditions of our exit from the EU is still unclear, however as an industry we are working tirelessly to understand and prepare for every scenario and will work together to embrace any potential opportunities it may bring, as well as swiftly tackle any challenges head on. www.southamptonboatshow.com

This year’s show focuses on accessibility and inclusivity; there will be plenty to see, try, explore and learn about as organisers of the show, British Marine, show you how accessible and affordable boating really is. And it is as much about getting children involved as adults. In an interesting survey release by the Southampton Boat Show in the build-up to the event, it was revealed that 2.28 million British kids have never been swimming in the ocean and 35 per cent have never been in a boat on the sea. Additionally, almost one in five do not recognise the Amazon as a river and instead only identify it as an online shop. Furthermore, when it comes to telling the difference between real and mythical animals, the majority of kids think that Komodo dragons (53 per cent) are not real. More than one in 10 children of any age believe the Loch Ness Monster really exists

and 24 per cent of five to seven-year-olds think mermaids are real. Talking about the research, Lesley Robinson, CEO at British Marine, said: “We are delighted that the majority of UK children are growing up with experiences and memories of the sea, but it is interesting that a large proportion have never been on a boat or gone swimming in the ocean. “While it is heart-warming to see so many kids believe in mermaids and the Loch Ness Monster, it is evident that there is a knowledge deficit when it comes to their understanding of the water and sea life. “At British Marine it is our mission to educate, debunk myths and make getting out on the water as accessible for as many kids as possible. We believe getting people down to the Southampton International Boat Show, powered by Borrow A Boat, is a great way to do this.” Something the show’s new sponsor,

Matt Ovenden, CEO of Borrow A Boat, explained: “We are thrilled to be on board as the title sponsor of the Southampton International Boat Show, which will enable us to delight the boat show audience with just how easy and accessible boating can be. The opportunity for our platform of listings to come to life at the show will provide the perfect arena for borrowers and owners alike to experience what Borrow A Boat is all about.” Visit the Borrow A Boat team on stand F003.

FLYBOARD DISPLAYS GIPSY MOTH IV

Explore Gipsy Moth IV, the vessel that Sir Francis Chichester used to be the first person to solo circumnavigate the globe in 1966/67 at the age of 65. It was his trip that inspired the Golden Globe race of 1968 and, according to Sir Ben Ainslie, “Gipsy Moth IV and Sir Francis Chichester was the grandfather of all single handed ocean racing”.

Gipsy Moth IV at Buckler’s Hard

ith the Southampton Boat Show taking place this month, what better time to get expert tips for your next - or first - boat purchase. It is, after all, a significant financial outlay and one you want to get right. In terms of finances, it is not just the purchase price of the boat, but the on going maintenance, mooring fees, fuel, life jackets and so on that you need to consider. It is no use buying a boat if you cannot then afford to run and maintain it. Your local marina, or the marina where you intend to moor the boat, is a good place to start in terms of gathering information, as is your local sailing club. It is all very well having a budget, but another important decision is the purpose of the boat: is it for family use, to charter, to cross the Atlantic...? The answer to this will have a big impact on the types of boat you need to be looking at. The internet is an ideal place to look at what is available for your purpose and pocket. The ABYA website is a good place to start; it lists all boats for sale by ABYA Members that use TheYachtMarket.com. You can also visit your local brokerage to see what make, age and price of boat they have within your budget. Brokers are experienced in the types of boat they sell, so discuss your requirements with them so they can give you the benefit of their experience. They may even suggest some suitable boats you had not considered.

When you have decided on a craft, you will need to make an offer, which we would advise should be subject to survey and possibly also a sea trial. You can find a suitable surveyor on YDSA.co.uk. If you do not get a survey or use a broker be aware that you will have no legal come-back if there is a problem with the boat or its documentation that was not apparent, and which the vendor may have been unaware of. This is known as Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware). If you are buying a new boat from a dealer ask what the warranty covers. Once you have made an offer and the price has been agreed, you will be asked to place a 10 per cent deposit to show that your offer is genuine. Both parties will be sent a duplicate Sale & Purchase Agreement which they should read and understand before signing and returning it to the broker. The Sale & Purchase Agreement is a legally-binding contract that you can only withdraw from, for reasons set out in the contract. Your broker should always have a Client Account – this is a separate account into which the buyer’s deposit and balance payments are paid and is not part of the broker’s trading accounts. It is worth noting that all ABYA Members are required as part of their membership to have a Client Account.

THE SURVEY

If you have a survey and a serious defect is found you may wish to consider withdrawing from the sale. However, it is essential that you are reasonable in your expectations of a pre-owned boat. Do not lose a boat that is otherwise sound. When the survey has been completed and any renegotiation on price or inventory items is agreed, you will be asked to send the balance of the money. If you are borrowing money on marine finance you and the broker will have to provide the correct documentation before the loan is agreed. ABYA Brokers do all your legal conveyancing, so there is no need to employ a solicitor. As part of the sale process the broker will prepare the essential VAT, RCD and Title documents to ensure legal transfer of title from the seller to the buyer. If all goes well – the price, the survey, the sea-trial, any finance you need – you have reached completion. The broker will confirm receipt of the balance of funds and set up the hand-over. Finally, do some training to ensure you are boating safely!

UK DEBUT

Spirit 50CR Spirit Yachts is launching its latest new build, the Spirit 50CR. The 15m Bermudan sloop sailing yacht has been designed for cruising and racing in UK and European waters and is the first Spirit yacht to launch with a Lignia, instead of a teak deck. Spirit Yachts managing director Nigel Stuart explained: “Teak is now considered a high risk timber, so whilst we are using up our current supply, our standard decking for new Spirit yachts will be Lignia. We take our responsibility to the environment very seriously and we are not prepared to risk using unsustainable wood. Having done extensive research into different options, we have found Lignia to be the best alternative to teak.” ■ Stand: M347

SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW PLANNING PART TWO

Bill looks ahead to this year’s boat show and does a spot of planning

HAVING taken the time last month to (some would say over meticulously) plan my twoday trip to the show, I have been spending the past few days thinking of all the side-line attractions that one always intends visiting but seldom does. Not being a very good big boat sailor, I am very tempted by The Radio Sailing Pool. I cannot imagine how I am going to get my brain around the controls when the boat is one minute going away from me and in the next it could be coming back towards me. This I assume will all be compounded by the trimming (or not) of the sails. It sounds ever so complicated but very interesting – a definite, I think! Perhaps I will make sure I have visited the sailmakers before I venture down to the pool – it must be a given that they will know the art and intricacies of sailing these Dragon model boats. Wow – the Andark Try-A-Dive tank sounds awesome. A 13m x 6m pool surrounded by digital screens featuring underwater creatures must be the closest a true novice like myself will ever get to the real thing. As wonderful as it sounds, I am not sure if I could be tempted or persuaded to take on the challenge of donning all the gear to participate; however, I will certainly pop across to watch the eager volunteers plunging themselves into the action. It is in situations like this that I question if I am just scared of taking on new adventures, or as I rather see it, I have responsibilities to The Admiral to look after myself. Truth be told, I imagine she would be there ready to cut the air hose – she would do anything for a quieter life (without me)!

ABOVE: Try your hand at boating without even taking to the water LEFT: Bill will be watching but not trying the Try-A-Dive tank

get information on the HSX-P sail cloth, replacement tender from the AquaMarine range and meet the Jotun man! TruDesign are a New Zealand based company manufacturing skin fittings; body and nut from a glass-reinforced nylon composite. Apart from eliminating the risk of corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings, there is also the weight saving. I am sure the weight saving is of far greater interest to the racing community. The Admiral has decided that as the grandchildren are proficient swimmers, we should be spending more time with them next summer. This has caused me much panic as I want to have quality family time but also want to use the boat as much as possible. How do I get two youngsters interested in spending time with an old codger on a boat with no WiFi access? Result! I have found a kayak suitable for children in the Point 65 range – the Plutini. If the manufacturer does not have a stand at the show, I am hoping they will have representation on one of the various retail stands: Force 4, You Boat Chandlery, Marine Superstore or Jimmy Green.

“Despite what The Admiral thinks, I am not going purely for a pint of Guinness and pulled pork bap! I have several very important ‘meetings’ with manufacturers and suppliers.”

With so many show attractions or in my case, distractions, I must stay focused on my main reasons for visiting the show. I must work hard to remind myself that despite what The Admiral thinks, I am not going purely for a pint of Guinness and pulled pork bap! I have several very important ‘meetings’ with manufacturers and suppliers. I am still looking forward to seeing the Jotun man to thank and update him on the antifouling performance. I now have photos (taken recently) of when we dried out alongside the town quay to check

the antifouling and anodes, as I was quite worried due to not replacing them last spring. I will not be doing that again; it has caused me sleepless nights worrying about the skin fittings and shaft corroding away, and the boat sinking. As usual the worry was unfounded as the engine and skin fittings are all well earthed. On the subject of skin fittings, I have added another brand to my ‘must see’ list – that being TruDesign. Fortunately Bainbridge International are the UK distributor of this brand, so I can kill numerous birds with one stone and

There is nothing wrong with taking a break for a pint of Guinness

BOATING PEOPLE Q&A WITH DANIEL TAYLOR, HEAD OF BOAT SHOW OPERATIONS, SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW. WHAT ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR JOB?

Working with such a great team of people, both at British Marine and the contractors we have on site. Some of our guys we have at the show have been working at the event longer than I have. Their dedication to helping ensure we put on a great event every year is paramount and having their knowledge and expertise on your side when faced with a challenging situation is priceless.

TELL US ABOUT THE ROLE’S BIGGEST CHALLENGES.

DANIEL, TELL US ABOUT YOUR SAILING BACKGROUND?

I started racing Lasers when I was 12-years-old and have been sailing ever since. I spent around 10 years racing Tornado catamarans, a few years racing in Contenders. Over time, I have competed in the Euro Cat Worlds, Round the Island Race a couple of times and won the Cowes 707 Class.

The changeability. Whatever your experience, however many years you have working on an event, every year will bring its own challenges and situations you would have never dealt with before or might have even imagined you would ever have to face - whether it is extreme weather conditions, operational malfunctions or unusual scenarios with visitors. There is no planning for these situations. You just have to stay calm, roll with it and tackle it head on. That is why having such a great team is so important.

WHAT ARE YOU FOCUSING ON FOR THE SHOW IN 2019?

Enhancing the visitor experience, particularly when it comes to the overall food and drink experience. I am excited to see the new Quarterdeck, which is replacing the Mayflower Complex. It is a new, large single-storey food terrace for all visitors offering a wide variety of choice, a new waterfront viewing area and extensive seating inside and out. It will be another great social hub for the show in addition to the Festival Green area which we created last year with the show’s famous Guinness Bar and entertainment stage.

YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW FOR 23 YEARS, WHAT DOES YOUR CURRENT ROLE INVOLVE? Put simply, building and running the show – taking car parks, playgrounds and a stretch of empty waterfront and turning it into the UK’s biggest boat show. It is also overseeing all the operational and logistical requirements of a flagship consumer event, from working with local police and fire brigade to ensuring we have plenty of boats out on the water for people to get out on.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston was just one of many familiar faces at the 2018 show. Image: British Marine

WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO BE NEW AT SOUTHAMPTON THIS YEAR?

We have a new purpose-built Try-a-Dive tank which will offer the visitors the perfect opportunity to experience a whole new underwater world with the expertise of Andark on hand. We also have a great new tall ship coming to the show for the first time. The Shtandart is an impressive replica of the 1703 frigate. Docked at the show for the 10 days, visitors will have the chance to explore and learn all about the history behind this famous ship.

WHEN DO YOU START PLANNING FOR 2020’S SHOW?

At the 2019 show or even before. We like to come out of each year’s event with a rough blueprint for the next year and a reasonable idea of what we will keep and change.

TELL US WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT BOATING?

The freedom away from technology. When on the water I do not take my phone, so no messages or emails. It is cheaper than a therapist.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM BOAT?

The Southerly 35 RS – my future retirement boat. The Festival Green area proved a hit last year. Image: British Marine

GET ON BOARD WITH RYA SAFETRX How to use the search and rescue app to create a safety plan for your trip.

ith the sailing season now in full swing, the RYA, RNLI and HM Coastguard are reminding boaters that the tracking and alerting tool, RYA SafeTrx, is freely available to anyone who wants to be safer afloat. The app provides all recreational boat users, particularly dinghy cruisers, PWC users, RIB users, canoers, kayakers, wind and kite surfers and smaller boat users with an easily accessible and simple to use means that can inform HM Coastguard of their voyage plans and dynamic location in the event of distress. Before sailing, it is important to tell a friend or relative ashore (your emergency contact) about your plans and to make sure you have a suitable means of communication on board for routine messaging and emergency situations. RYA SafeTrx allows you to enter your plans and contact details directly from a smartphone knowing that should you not arrive by the time given, your nominated emergency contact will be alerted and advised to initiate appropriate action. Where an emergency contact calls HM Coastguard about an overdue trip, the Coastguard will have access to the boater’s location and SafeTrx trip data through a secure SafeTrx server. This will help the Coastguard to get help directly to you, and quickly. RYA Cruising Manager Stuart Carruthers said: “The RYA SafeTrx app is more than a mobile vessel tracking application, it is also a practical tool that provides additional safety information. As well as the sail plan mode, which records a starting point, a destination and an estimated time of arrival for your emergency contacts, features include equipment and safety checklists, marina and harbour information and weather information. It is worth taking a little time to explore everything SafeTrx can do for a safe and smooth sail.”

WEBSITE ACCESS

In addition to the features the app offers, users also have access to the RYA SafeTrx website at safetrx.rya.org.uk. Here accounts, vessel details and emergency contacts can be managed, checklists can be personalised and trips can be reviewed. For users who do not want to use the app, there is the option to register an account and vessel details online via the website. The details entered will be kept in the RYA SafeTrx database and will be available to HM Coastguard if the user ever needs assistance.

RYA SAFETRX & CG66

HM Coastguard has approved RYA SafeTrx as its replacement for the official voluntary safety identification scheme, better known as CG66. RYA SafeTrx builds on the advantages of the CG66 scheme to assist HM Coastguard with search and rescue and provides enhanced functionality if used together with the optional RYA SafeTrx mobile app.

HM Coastguard can be contacted over VHF or phone so you can advise them that you have arrived safely. Image: MCA You can download the app from the UK Apple App Store and Google Play Store

USEFUL INFORMATION

Using RYA SafeTrx will help the Coastguard to quickly get help directly to you. Image: MCA

As part of the changeover, HM Coastguard stopped taking registrations for the CG66 scheme on 11 July 2018 but will retain access to the CG66 database for two years. The data from CG66 has not been migrated to the RYA SafeTrx database, therefore, anyone who wishes to make use of RYA SafeTrx will need to register on the RYA SafeTrx system when and if they choose to do so.

GETTING STARTED

To get started with the RYA SafeTrx app: ■ Download the app from the UK Apple App Store or Google Play Store ■ Register a new account on the RYA SafeTrx app ■ Log in to the app with your e-mail and password ■ Register your boat and emergency contact details The RYA SafeTrx user guide is available at www.rya.org.uk/go/safetrx and provides detailed information on both the RYA SafeTrx app and the RYA SafeTrx website.

Should the need ever arise, you want the Coastguard to be in the best possible position to assist. Image: MCA

It includes: ■ recommended phone settings for using the app ■ illustrated step-by-step guidance for installing the app, registering an account, navigating the menu, registering a vessel and entering a sail plan ■ details of track only mode, which allows users to monitor and record their performance on the water, and group sharing ■ details of how to access safety information and use the RYA SafeTrx website ■ limitations on mobile services

With RYA SafeTrx you can enter your plans and contact details directly from a smartphone

Tell your emergency contact that they have been nominated and let them know what you are doing. The RYA SafeTrx app gives you the option of sending your emergency contacts an SMS with your Sail Plan trip details after you start your trip and also after you have closed your trip to let them know that you have arrived safely. If you cannot close a Sail Plan or Track Only trip, call or SMS your emergency contact to tell them you have arrived safely. If you cannot make contact with your emergency contact, HM Coastguard can be contacted over VHF or phone so that you can advise them that you have arrived safely. It is important to consider the level of cellular coverage on your route and at your destination. The app requires a mobile data connection to transmit location data in real time, and to start/ stop Sail Plan and Track Only trips. As a guideline on mobile coverage, OFCOM have a mobile coverage checker app (www.ofcom.org.uk/phonestelecoms-and-internet/advice-forconsumers/advice/ofcom-checker) that may be useful when deciding to log a Sail Plan or not. Boats sailing to more remote areas that have intermittent reception should be GMDSS equipped. Visit www.rya.org.uk/go/safetrx for further details and guidance including the RYA SafeTrx user guide and FAQs.

The RYA covers all forms of boating, including dinghy and yacht racing, motor and sail cruising, RIBs and sports boats, powerboat racing, windsurfing, inland cruising and narrowboats, and personal watercraft.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORY Here is the story of Jumbo, the Maltese sailing boat that has been lovingly restored (twice!) and donated to the Kent Battle of Britain Museum by Peter Freeborn.

t all started after a chance meeting at The Hope & Anchor in Hope Cove, Devon on a summer’s evening in 1979. Whilst enjoying a pint and chatting to the locals, one of whom was a newspaper reporter and the other a housekeeper to the owner of Drakelow House, our conversation turned to the village’s (independent) lifeboat and its funding. I had some ideas for fundraising and a recent successful project was an A4 write on/wipe off Memory Board which I had called ‘Thanks for the Memory’. This Board incorporated Deaf Finger Spelling with Braille embossed under each letter of the alphabet. It was laminated with a water-based pen clipped on so that those unable to use the spoken word could write a message to communicate. (I had obtained permission from the music publishers regarding copyright to use the title ‘Thanks For The Memory’ - it being the signature tune of American actor Bob Hope who actually purchased 100 boards for his charity work). MAKING THE NEWS The reporter took some notes and a photograph of me holding the Memory Board. The following week the Kingsbridge & Salcombe Gazette published an article titled ‘Board Could Help Handicapped’. The housekeeper I had met brought the article to the attention of Mrs BellSalter, of Drakelowe. Mrs Bell-Salter, although confined to her bed due to unsuccessful hip replacements, invited me to meet her. She expressed an interest in my voluntary fundraising work for the disabled, and we discussed a number of points relating to physical disabilities caused by injury. She asked why I had become involved with disabled and handicapped people and I explained that due to a serious road traffic accident in my teens I had a personal insight into problems associated with recovery. As our conversation continued, Mrs Bell-Salter, who in World War One had been a volunteer nurse in Belgium, told me her late husband Basil served in the Royal Navy all his life and had a distinguished career. When in Colombia he was honoured with the Order of Boyaca and as Rear Admiral he established the modern Colombian Navy and was founder of the Naval Academy in Cartagena.

To quote Churchill: “Never has so much been owed by so many to so few”. He sustained serious injuries in combat, but after nine months in hospital he remained in the RAF and became a flying instructor to Polish, Canadian and Belgian pilots.

On 22 July a group of volunteers from the Kent Battle of Britain Museum Trust were joined by Peter Freeborn and family, and the BBC, to officially hand over Jumbo, the boat once owned by David Bell-Salter, a Hurricane pilot who flew with No.253 Squadron during the Battle of France and Battle of Britain. For further information about the museum visit www.kbobm.org.

THE RESTORATION

He retired in 1934 but returned to serve in the Royal Navy as Captain (Ret’d), and during the Second World War he also received the decoration Commander of the Royal Order of Saint Olav for service to the Royal Norwegian Navy. JUMBO’S ARRIVAL As a serving Naval Officer in Malta during the First World War Basil commissioned a small Maltese sailing boat, Jumbo, for his son David’s eighth birthday. It was brought back by naval vessel to Hope Cove and transported ashore (interestingly, any private item transported by a naval vessel is called a rabbit). As a boy David enjoyed many happy hours with Jumbo until he grew up and it came to be stored in the roof of the garage. It remained there until my visit when Mrs Bell-Salter offered me the little boat if it could be useful to my fundraising endeavours – I gladly accepted.

I have also discovered that David crashed on Romney Marsh and his name is listed on the Battle of Britain Monument at nearby Capel le Ferne. It is for this reason, together with David’s distinguished career in the RAF, that I was delighted to donate Jumbo to this Battle of Britain Museum.

After restoration work, Jumbo appeared at the Festival of the Sea, Portsmouth, at the Newport Boat Museum on the Isle of Wight, followed by a long spell at UKSA in Cowes, where it was used by students learning about the construction of wooden boats. Eventually I recovered the boat from UKSA, but it was in a rather poor state and, courtesy of Wightlink, it was transported back to the mainland and to Southsea Marina where I restored it once again. So, over the last 40 years I have restored the boat on two occasions, returning it to its former glory even down to the correct colours for the shipyard that built it in Malta. DISTINGUISHED CAREER Over the years I have researched David’s military career. David was a Battle of Britain fighter pilot and as Flight Lieutenant aged 19 was one of the youngest officers in the RAF flying Spitfires and Hurricanes.

NEW GENERATION OF AIS A essel trackin has been around or more than a decade and is the most si nificant de elo ment in na i ation sa ety since the introduction o radar. att Forbes sales director or es er arine A ex lains how A has de elo ed and works.

An AIS transponder sends AIS signals, making your craft visible to others with AIS equipment

ORIGINALLY AIS (Automatic Identification System) was designed as a mandated collision avoidance system for commercial ships (A Class), however in recent years it has become a popular safety aid for power and sail leisure boats as well (B Class). AIS is an automatic tracking system used on ships and by vessel traffic services for identifying and tracking vessels. Essentially, AIS is installed on a boat to allow it to see and be seen, enhancing safety day and night, when offshore, in busy marine traffic areas or

AIS is the boater’s most significant development in navigation safety since the introduction of radar

in bad weather when visibility is reduced. It does this by electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships and AIS base stations. HOW DOES IT WORK? In recent years AIS has seen rapid improvements to its technology, making it more sophisticated, work smarter and easier to use.

AIS is a system of transponders installed on vessels consisting of a GPS receiver and a VHF data radio. The transponder transmits its GPS position in a digital form via two VHF channels dedicated to AIS. The AIS data is sent from each vessel every few seconds and contains position and movement information such as course, speed, latitude, longitude and heading. In order to avoid multiple devices transmitting at the same time, AIS transponders use a system called Time Division Multiple Access. Each transponder communicates with others in the area to avoid clashes and claim its own short 26.6 millisecond time slot. The system allows up to 4,500 craft to operate in the same vicinity, automatically giving priority to those that are closest and therefore likely to be at greater risk of collision. The range or coverage of the system is similar to VHF radios. The system

CLIP ON WITH CARE Ad ice or boaters as to how to attach sa ety lines and the best equipment to use.

THE Masterclass

IN this month’s Masterclass, the RYA is reminding boaters to clip on safely and securely when tackling the waves as part of its digital safety campaign. The digital campaign is a fresh approach to the RYA’s more traditional method of issuing an annual Safety Advisory Notice featuring key topics to help boaters think in practical terms about their safety afloat. The first video to be released reminds boaters that you would not drive, take a plane journey or climb aboard a rollercoaster without being properly strapped in, so why tackle the waves without being secured to your boat? The video is the first of the RYA’s new campaign messages highlighting key safety advice: look after yourself, have a plan, keep in touch and know your limits. It is also a window into the RYA’s more detailed advice on safety lines, which aims to keep boaters informed of best practice and potential pitfalls when choosing and using equipment. Watch the video at www.rya.org.uk/ go/SAN.

ATTACH WITH CARE

A safety line is intended to provide reasonable assurance that the wearer will remain attached to a craft under normal loading. To do this the safety line must be securely attached to a correctly worn safety harness (which may be a lifejacket with an integrated harness) and to a suitable strong point on the boat. The optimum length of a safety line will vary depending on the size of the boat and where you need to attach it for the task in hand.

also has the advantage that VHF radio signals will travel around bends and over islands, giving better coverage than radar or enhancing a radar picture when used together.

TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS Back in 2008, Vesper Marine launched its first ever AIS transponder, WatchMate. The award-winning product offered a unique interpretation of the data, meaning course changes could be made well in advance to avoid danger. Since then, the brand has developed a series of world firsts including the first black-box smart AIS transponder with proactive alarms; the first AIS transponder with WiFi, Anchor Watch, IOS and Android mobile apps that manage, configure, troubleshoot and automatically update their firmware; the first colour touchscreen AIS transponder and the first AIS transponder with its own smartwatch app. Packed with the latest features, smartAIS is just like your smartphone. You can upgrade the firmware (OS) via WiFi and get new, life saving features. Its smartAIS transponders have built-in safety alarms that proactively warn boaters of potential

RYA TIPS INCLUDE:

■ The safety line and harness should comply with ISO 12401. A lifejacket with an integrated harness should be certified both to ISO 12401 and to the lifejacket standard (ISO 12402) which specifies the design and safety requirements for lifejackets and the level of flotation they must provide.

collision situations. For example, if you drift outside a zone defined around your anchor position, the anchor watch sounds the alarm. If there is a man overboard situation, you will be alerted when your crew activates an AIS MOB device and will be able to see their current location for easy retrieval. This smart technology is built into the transponder, so it does not rely on any other equipment.

THE FUTURE OF AIS TECHNOLOGY Vesper Marine says it will be releasing a new generation of safety devices shortly, combining the company’s technical innovation and boating to create what it claims will be another ‘world-first’. Watch this space.

WatchMate Vision is a touchscreen smartAIS transponder

■ The method used to anchor the end of the safety line to a vessel should be arranged to ensure that the hook cannot become entangled with deck fittings or other equipment as was highlighted in the 2018 edition of the RYA Safety Advisory Notice.

■ Mobility must be balanced against the risk of falling overboard. Generally the safety line needs to be long enough to enable movement around the boat, but if this would allow a person to fall overboard, a shorter line should be used – particularly for people working in exposed positions. A common solution to the need for safety lines of longer and shorter lengths is a mid-point hook. This allows the user to change the clipping on point without being detached from the boat and having a shorter safety line to hand when one is needed. ■ Safety lines can only work effectively if there are adequate attachment points on the boat. Guardrails are not built to take the loads imposed by a safety harness and should not be used as attachment points.

It is important that the safety line and harness comply with ISO 12401

RYA Safety Advisor Andrew Norton said: “It is also important to make careful choices when purchasing safety lines, which are available from most good chandleries and online. Two and three hook safety lines are available from most manufacturers, some supply elasticated versions and some have an overload indicator to help you to decide when the safety line needs to be replaced. “The hooks on the safety line should be designed so they cannot be accidentally opened. An ISO approved safety line is fitted with hooks which have been designed and tested to prevent this.” Look out for future videos focusing on kill cords, lifejacket and life raft servicing, carbon monoxide alarms, boat fire safety and many more topics.

A R F A A F R A AR A.

WHEN looking for a good marina, the selection criteria will be determined by the purpose of mooring – do you require a technical or a leisure stop-over? If you are looking for a technical stopover the decision is straightforward, as it will be based on if you are able to lift your boat, what reputable and capable companies are on site for repairs and who can complete a quality job in a decent time and at a decent price. If the purpose of the stopover is purely for leisure, perhaps just passing by, or you are travelling and want to discover the area, your requirements and selection criteria will be very different. The must-haves versus the nice-tohaves are a matter of personal opinion, but generally the deciding factors are location and amenities in the area, noise levels, cleanliness and marina staff.

Nice is a great marina and value for money too

’F R RF

AR A A F R

■ Location: How close is the marina to a town or city? You will probably want to buy groceries and do so without taking a bus, train or taxi into the town centre. You may prefer marinas in a city with an authentic local market where you can buy fresh produce. A city-based marina (or close to a city) also offers opportunities for spending the day sightseeing, enjoying the nightlife, whether a drink on a terrace or a delicious dining experience, and entertaining children if you are travelling with a young family. For me, shops are a must have so I can re-fill the fridge, and a nice-to-have is a tourism offer - the chance to visit something of interest while I am there. ■ Cleanliness: Mooring at a marina is often synonymous with the chance to have a wonderful shower, an experience that can be ruined if showers are not well taken care of. The cleanliness of the bathrooms is often a good indicator of the quality of a marina. I also want somewhere to sort my recycling and empty the grey water tank. ■ Noise levels: This will come down to the kind of traveller you are and what experience you are looking for. If a quiet marina and a good, peaceful night’s sleep are high on your list of priorities, it is worth checking the marina does not turn into a night club during high season. ■ Friendliness: If the people working at the marina are friendly it really is the icing on the cake. They are your first point of contact and can set the tone for the rest of your stay.

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.

Navily will help you find the perfect mooring

FA The main pitfall is to always go back to the same place, when there is the wonderful opportunity to discover somewhere new. If you know what you are looking for and have a list of key criteria, it is easy to get an idea if you will like a marina or not. It is also worth reading reviews from other boaters when deciding where to go. They give you lots of details without spending hours on research, and it does allow you to avoid simple mistakes by learning from the experience of others. Not booking is a very common mistake. During high season booking with a marina means your spot is secured, your berth is waiting for you and you can stay at anchor until later in the day, then head over to the marina in your own time feeling relaxed. It mitigates the need to leave your anchorage at 2pm and rush to the marina to make sure you find a spot. A FA R AR A There are so many great ones it is difficult to choose. Many of my favourites are on the French Riviera: ■ Nice: It is in the city centre but it is fairly quiet because you are not on a main road or surrounded by bars and clubs. You have easy access to bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. It is easy to get a taxi to nearby towns, there are plenty of places to visit and

lots of opportunities for exploring and walking. The view is beautiful, the marina has a great atmosphere and it is good value for money. ■ Port-Grimaud in the gulf of Saint Tropez: I love the layout of this marina. It is like a little French Venice. It is very cute, very quiet and very different from anything else you will see. ■ Portus Karalis in Sardinia: It is right in front of the beautiful city of Cagliari with easy access to shops and restaurants. It is well protected from the wind too which makes for quieter nights, and it is very close to the airport, which makes it a perfect stop if you need to pick up or drop off friends. ■ Estartit on the Costa Brava: A beautiful marina right after the French border. The marina has been renovated so feels brand new. It is very close to town, the prices are good and the marineros are always there to help you dock when you arrive, which is really nice to know that someone will help you dock when you have just sailed for a few hours. Navily is a social cruising guide for boaters who want to find the best anchorages and marinas. Available free of charge, the app includes a weather protection scoring feature and a new booking system with direct messaging to more than 650 marinas.

CRUISING GUIDE TO…

Brought to you by

RIVER CROUCH With more than 17 miles of cruising waters to enjoy, there is much to discover on Essex’s River Crouch.

TOP 5 DAY BOATING TRIPS

BURNHAM-ON-CROUCH

On the north bank of the river, Burnham-on-Crouch is the first major town you will see when entering the river. A former market town specialising in east coast oysters harvested from beds laid within the adjacent river, the town is evolving and now boasts an enviable reputation for local produce and historical surroundings. The picturesque riverside is lined with iconic redroofed houses along with an extensive range of inns, cafes and shops.

THE east coast is often overlooked by sailors, but just 15 miles to the north of the Thames Estuary lies one of the prettiest and most peaceful deepwater rivers you will ever wish to explore. Rich in history, safe for cruising, a thriving racing scene and a haven for nature lovers, the River Crouch offers something for all sailors. Starting with its sailing significance, the Crouch is flanked by 33 boating clubs Sailing on the River Crouch

and sailing organisations which highlights the passion for the sport in this region. Furthermore, this number is growing; within the past year the North Fambridge Sea Scouts have taken occupancy of a natural pond on the river, creating a Water Activity Centre for young people. The region also holds huge importance to the environment with the tidal flats, saltmarshes and coastal grasslands that surround the river being home to a wide

range of flora and fauna. An important breeding population of both Grey and Common grey seals reside on the river, and the area also sees more than 25,000 water birds visit annually on migratory routes and for breeding. For some extra reading, take a look at the Wallasea Island Wild Coast Project, which has recreated a vast mudflat and saltmarsh landscape on the south side of the River Crouch.

NORTH FAMBRIDGE

Six miles upriver on the north bank, North Fambridge is a rural idyll, offering quiet cruising and flanked by open fields and marshland as far as the eye can see. A full service marina can be found here with visitor moorings and pontoon berthing. What is more, the sleepy village has a direct train line to London in less than an hour and a new playpark at the marina for the kids. Head ashore and visit the 500-year-old Ferry Boat Inn or take a walk past Owl Cam at Blue House Farm, run by the Essex Wildlife Trust.

BATTLESBRIDGE

There is deepwater to Brandy Hole with further passage to Battlesbridge possible one or two hours before high water (depending on draft). One of the smallest registered ports in the UK, Battlesbridge is dotted with a few local shops, inns, antique centres, a rooftop café with amazing views and, somewhat surprisingly, an extremely popular motorcycle museum. This is a hidden gem of a village made even more idyllic by the lack of other boats making the transit.

RIVER ROACH

Anchoring on the corner of Potton Point next to Devils Reach on the River Roach is the perfect place for seal watching. Seals use the mud flats on the banks of the island to slide into the water and the amazing creatures are often very interested in visiting boats. Many creeks splinter off from the main channel offering peaceful exploration and mud larking for shallow drafted vessels and tenders.

WEST MERSEA

OK, so West Mersea is not in the River Crouch but it is one of the most popular day cruises for boaters who reside on the river. Mersea Island can be found 30nm to the north of the mouth of the Crouch via the Swin Spitway and is the most easterly inhabited island in the UK. With its friendly yacht clubs, sandy beaches and intertidal creeks, Mersea Island is world famous for its Oysters and waterside fish restaurants. Swinging moorings for visitors are available at West Mersea together with a foot ferry to Brightlingsea.

BEST PUBS TO VISIT BY BOAT

Seals can be spotted on the River Crouch

If you are anything like us, most sailing trips include an inevitable trip to a local pub for a cold drink and a hearty meal. But when you have made it ashore, weak from hunger and ready for a welldeserved pint, how do you know where to go? Here are some of our favourite eateries which are best visited by boat: ■ The Ferry Boat Inn, North Fambridge ■ Ye Olde White Harte, Burnham ■ The Hawk, Battlesbridge ■ The Barge Inn, Battlesbridge ■ The Anchor Riverside, Hullbridge

WHERE TO BERTH? FAMBRIDGE YACHT HAVEN

Nestled in the sleepy North Fambridge village you will find one of the most well-rounded, full service marinas on the east coast. Part of the multi-award winning Yacht Havens Group, Fambridge offers all the charm, warmth and personal service of a family-owned marina whilst delivering a wealth of valuable services. With 220 full tide marina berths, over 120 swinging moorings, boat lifting, indoor and outdoor storage, Fambridge Yacht Haven has all the services that a modern day boat owner requires. ■ 220 full tide pontoon marina berths for boats up to 60ft ■ 120 deepwater swinging moorings ■ Hard standing for more than 700 boats ■ Indoor and outdoor boat storage ■ Slipway for dry berthing ■ 40 and 25 ton boat hoists ■ Free WiFi, plus water and electric at every berth ■ On-site yacht brokerage, chandlery, engineers, riggers and more ■ On-water diesel pontoon, Calor Gas and Camping Gaz available ■ Café and historic pub on-site Five months’ full-tide winter berthing for 2019/20 from £125 per metre.

The main channel to the River Crouch runs north of Foulness Sand and to the south of Swallow Tail Bank and Buxey Sand and is extremely well marked. The River Crouch can be accessed at all states of the tide with deepwater available until Brandy Hole. Passage to Battlesbridge should be made one or two hours before high water (depending on draft).

MARINA FOCUS PREMIER CELEBRATES 25 YEARS Swanwick Marina

This year Premier Marinas is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and so what better time to re ect on the any successes and changes this arine business has seen o er the years. THE company started in 1994 with a portfolio of just Chichester and Port Solent marinas. In the following 13 years, Premier grew to become the UK’s largest coastal marina owner and operator by acquiring Falmouth, Brighton, Southsea, Gosport, Swanwick and Sovereign Harbour marinas, and the specialist boatyard Endeavour Quay, in Gosport. The group’s acquisition by The Wellcome Trust in May 2015 allowed Premier to develop a long term strategy for the business whilst facilitating the acquisition of Noss on Dart Marina in 2016 and the Waterfront at Sovereign Harbour in 2018.

REDEVELOPMENT

The purchase of Noss on Dart brought with it the chance to redevelop the derelict site of the former Philip & Son shipyard and transform it into a wonderful marina and waterside destination. Premier fully embraced this opportunity by putting in place ambitious plans for the site; these plans were granted planning consent in August 2018, which gave the group the green light to begin the £75m redevelopment of the marina, now currently underway. This ability to take a long term view of its portfolio and to invest strategically extends across the Premier group; ensuring sites evolve and are fit for the future in an ongoing cycle of evaluation and regeneration. Examples of this strategy in action include Premier’s development of new boatyards at Chichester and Swanwick

Noss on Dart Marina

where aging infrastructures were replaced by modern boatyards and fit for purpose workshops – responsibly built and in keeping with their sites. Similarly, at Swanwick, Premier is mid-way through the replacement of its floating marina, bringing the site’s pontoons, security and access in line with the increased size of modern production boats and the requirements of today’s boat owners.

FIVE STAR FACILITIES

Alongside headline projects such as Noss, Premier looks to the care and comfort of its berth holders, part of which includes the incremental installation of five star facilities across the group’s sites, with berth holders enjoying ‘private’ bathrooms that are equitable to those in the very best hotels. But it is not just physical infrastructure that attracts Premier’s commitment, the group continues to invest in customer service, staff training and new technologies that improve the customer journey. Similarly, the company has introduced complimentary offerings such as Premier Marine Insurance, Premier Dry Stacks, Premier Self Store and The Salterns apartments. These portfolio extensions complement its berth holder offering and are instrumental in attracting growth and new customers to the marinas. The importance of “how things are done” has been central to Premier’s culture from the very beginning, and this is demonstrated in its approach to health, safety and environmental

management. Premier was delighted to be the first marina group to achieve the ISO 14001 Environmental accreditation in 2018 and is currently going through the assessment process for the ISO 45001 Health and Safety accreditation. It was also the first marina operator to introduce waste recycling facilities across all sites and has been a keen adopter of green energy strategies, reducing its carbon footprint by 226 tonnes each year through investment in photovoltaic solar panels.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Today, as the UK’s largest and most successful marina group, Premier owns and operates nine of the South Coast’s most prestigious marinas. It is also the only marina group to offer boatyard and fuel services at every site and remains committed to investing, adapting and reshaping its business to suit an evolving and challenging market. The business has ambitious plans for redeveloping a number of its sites and remains keen to add to its portfolio. Pete Bradshaw, CEO, explained: “We are incredibly proud to have reached our 25th year. Premier’s success is built on a culture that inspires loyalty and we are lucky to have many long standing staff, customers, tenants and suppliers. The Premier team is undoubtedly key to our success; on average our employees have seven years of service and we have 29 members of staff who have been with us for more than 10 years. Premier would not be the business it is without them; they are what helps make it such a fantastic company. “Whilst we take time to reflect on our achievements, we also like to

think about the company’s future. The foundations we have built has put us in a great position to deal with the challenges that change brings. Our plans will see us not only make our marinas the best choice for boat owners but also attract a broader range of people to our sites. Boating is still out of reach for many people because it is perceived as complex and expensive. Premier has the opportunity to help make boating more accessible and I believe this will become our purpose in the coming years.” To mark this milestone, Premier will be inviting berth holders and longstanding employees to attend its Stand E046 at the Southampton Boat Show on Tuesday, 17 September from 16.00 – 17.30 to join in celebrating this important waypoint in its ongoing progression. Customers and employees can also contribute to Premier’s celebration of its 25 years in business by uploading images of Premier marinas over the years to #premiersince1994.

CHATHAM COMES CLEAN MORE than 20 volunteers took part in the first ever Clean Marina Day at MDL’s Chatham Marina. In excess of 15 bags of rubbish were collected along with six large trolleys full of weeds in and around the River Medway. Dry side volunteers collected 77 wrappers, 169 cigarette butts, 24 tissues

and a variety of other items. And from the marina itself, volunteers collected 50 straws, some never used, 35 crisp packets and lots of other litter. The oddest find of the day was a dinner in a pot - including the roast potatoes – which was found in the water. www.chathammarina.co.uk

CYPRUS HEADS TO BOAT SHOW

KARPAZ Gate Marina in North Cyprus will exhibit for the first time at this year’s Southampton Boat Show, on the Which Marina stand. You will be able to meet staff and find out more about this prestigious 5 Gold Anchor marina. The marina has just retained its status following a rigorous assessment by The Yacht Harbour Association. The internationally recognised industry accreditation officially endorses the Karpaz peninsula marina’s exceptional

standards of facilities, customer service, operational efficiency and commitment to the environment. Following the 2019 review, the TYHA assessor praised the marina for its high-quality offering for sailors on a stunning stretch of coastline on the north-east peninsula of the island. The report also highlighted the positive impact and benefits that are anticipated when the new Karpaz Gate Marina hotel opens in 2020.

QAB SUPPORTS SAILOR’S DREAMS MDL’S Queen Anne’s Battery marina is supporting up and coming local sailor Paddy Hutchings to help him fulfil his Mini Transat and Olympic sailing dreams. Born and bred in Plymouth, the inspirational 18-year-old sailor will be able to berth his yacht, a Mini 6.5, at QAB for the duration of his Mini Transat campaign, culminating in 2021 when he will participate in the epic 4,000+ mile race. “Paddy has been sailing from QAB with his family for a long time. When we heard about his plans to race offshore in the Mini Transat and also campaign for the Olympics, we wanted to do something to support his efforts,” said

Chris Price, manager at QAB. “Being only minutes from Plymouth Sound, the marina is ideally situated to give Paddy easy access to open water for training.” Paddy learnt to sail when he was ten-years-old. He developed a passion for the sport and went on to represent Great Britain in dinghy sailing classes at National, European and World level, winning several titles. Having always been drawn to offshore sailing his focus changed and, following the Mini Transat, he has ambitions to compete in the double-handed offshore racing announced for the Paris 2024 Olympics. www.phracing.co.uk / www.queenannesbattery.co.uk

to be celebrating with Brixham Art Society who have been part of the community here even longer than we have,” said marina manager, Andrew Millar. “The marina itself is a stunning location for the artists with plenty of subject matter.

Harbour Master, Adam Parnell, who is “delighted

and honoured” to be assisting with the judging has also offered the artists use of the harbour to set up their easels. Registration for the event will take place on the day between 8.00am and 10.00am at the Brixham Marina car park. The competition will close at 5.00pm with judging at 5.15pm.

THE CHANGING FACE OF MARINAS

Every month we bring you news from around our coastal marinas. Marinas often dig deep into their pockets to upgrade facilities expected by today’s berth holders and visitors. This month we look at the long-term investment programme taking place at Burry Port in Wales.

ince acquiring Burry Port Marina in early 2018, The Marine & Property Group Ltd has been working closely with Carmarthenshire Council and has presented a long-term investment programme to develop the marina into a first-class facility.

MARINA CLUBHOUSE

The company has plans to renovate the former RNLI building on the site to create a new marina building with a marina management suite to include high standard toilets, showers, laundry and a chandlery. The renovation work will also include the creation of an all-day coffee lounge bar operated by CoffiCo with far reaching views over the marina. While the plans and building works take place, the company has installed a temporary shower block to instantly upgrade the landside facilities available to berth holders. A budget of £1.9m is also in place to renovate the Grade 2 listed dock walls surrounding the marina basin. The Council has ambitious plans for the wider area surrounding the harbour basin that will create a leisure hub, food and beverage outlets, new housing and sustainable jobs.

MARINE SERVICES

Burry Port Marina is another location for the growth and development of the company’s boatyard services, supported by their main workshops in Cardiff, with competitive boat transport rates available for berth holders. These include support for all types of inboard and outboard engines and a range of specialist services including

insurance repairs, Hot Vac osmosis treatment, Dek-King dealer, 3M Gelcare Centre and approved Awlgrip and International Application Centre.

The dredger at Burry Port Marina

DREDGING CAMPAIGN

Key to the company’s plans is a sustained and regular dredging program, to ensure the facilities are accessible and optimal. The company has its own dredger, which allows for a rolling maintenance dredging program. A new and more powerful Water Injection Dredger is currently under construction to ensure a minimum depth is achieved in the marina harbour, which is due to be deployed towards the end of the year.

AN ENVIABLE LOCATION

The location of Burry Port Marina, with its beautiful sandy beaches and stunning blue water cruising, alongside the Millennium Coastal Path, fits well with the company’s existing marina locations in Cardiff, Aberystwyth and Port Dinorwic and allows it to expand its Visitor Network Programme to an additional location on the Welsh coastline. Annual berth holders can have up to 30 days free visitor moorings at the Group’s other marinas and discounted visitor berths at member marinas. With 450 berths, adjacent to Pembrey Country Park and within easy reach of the Gower Peninsula and Tenby, and only 20 minutes off the M4, the development programme for Burry Port Marina will help it to benefit from the company’s experience in marina development and management.

“The planned creation of a leisure quarter and residential development at Burry Port will greatly complement our plans for the marina.” Christopher Odling-Smee, director, said: “We are excited to be working closely with Carmarthenshire Council to help develop Burry Port Marina into a first-class facility and a sustainable destination, alongside their greater initiative to develop the landside area adjacent to the marina. The planned creation of a leisure quarter and residential development at Burry Port will greatly complement our plans for the marina.” www.themarinegroup.co.uk

A GLASS OF ORANGE PLEASE… BY PAUL ANTROBUS

The wine list, please. Red, white, rosé - or orange?

Contributors David Henshall Simon Everett Paul Antrobus

that dominate our shelves the crushed grape juice is separated immediately and entirely from the skins and pips before fermentation, to make an orange wine the same white grape varietals are crushed and then the whole mash, skins and all, goes into large vessels, often cement or ceramic, known as Qvevri (Kveri). They were supposedly the first vessels to be used for wine fermentation with archaeological finds dating back to 6,000BC. These are closed and do not ‘breath’ like wooden casks do and are left to ferment naturally for at least four days, sometimes over a year. There are no additives, not even yeasts, and the fermentation is spontaneous and natural. When the liquid is eventually separated from the skins the orange colour has been imparted in the same way as making red wine, which similarly leaves the crushed red grape juice in contact with the skins for a period to create the red wines as we know them.

COMPETITION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

With Paul Antrobus

Orange wines were always a rarity in the UK market, but now a few examples are returning to UK specialists, still rare and maybe even a retro-novelty, as we have experienced in gins and beers, and therefore not bargain basement prices. For example, Tbilvino Qvevris 2016, made in Georgia, 12 per cent abv, is £10 at M&S, Armonia Orange Wine, (Romania) 500ml bottle, 13.5 per cent, £18 at Oddbins and La Stoppa Ageno 2012, (Italy) 13.5 per cent, £28.50 at Haywines. The back label on the M&S offering sums it up very well: “TBILVINO QVEVRIS - intriguing Georgian orange wine (though it is called amber on the front label) made from white Rkatsiteli (Awr-kat-seh-telly) grapes using an ancient and traditional vinification method. The grape juice and the skins are fermented together, then partially matured in large amphoralike clay jars - Qvevri - that are buried in the earth for several months, developing the wine’s rich unique style. Drink chilled as an aperitif or as a partner to mixed seafood platters; orange wine pairs well with spicy dishes like chicken tagine or tandoori.” Treat the orange wine as you would a red, serving it a little warmer than a white. The flavour is powerful and, as you might expect from the geographic provenance of the genre, the producers recommend it to accompany Middle Eastern Turkish, Moroccan and Ethiopian lamb dishes and curries. I tried it as a sundowner aperitif, very nice sharp, 2 9 palate cleansing and moved easily on to accompany a Mediterranean stir fry, prompting wine tasting 4 8 memories of a yacht charter holiday we once had in 5 Turkey. Worth a try. 6
