egular readers of ST might have learned that I have been without a boat since the summer. I had reached the point where I was using my own yacht so little, it felt like I was spending as much or more time scraping, antifouling and repairing things as I was spending sailing. So, thought I, why not put her up for sale, get my sailing fix from boat tests and other magazine opportunities instead, and save all the agro and expense? After just 15 weeks boatless though, I can report that as someone who has owned a line of cruising yachts stretching back to my early 20s, I have gone a bit stir crazy without a boat.

Even if you don’t use the thing enough, there’s something about a cruising yacht that wraps up so many of your plans and aspirations into one convenient package.

After all, an escape capsule is still an escape capsule, whether you ever actually jump in it and escape or not.

I recently began to look at lower YACHTS maintenance trailersailers and micro cruisers. Looking through the various CHELSEA sailing internet forums, a recurring theme E ARIN M NES M A G A Z Iappeared.

People seem to buy trailersailers YACHTING

CHELSEA ARINE M MAGAZINES

CHANGING TACK with dreams of how they will travel up and down the land taking short sailing breaks in all the most picturesque cruising areas.

Then they find the boat nightmarishly heavy, dangerous and often illegal to tow without a gas guzzling 4x4. The launching and mast raising involves a stressy whole day lost at each end of their holiday, and then finding somewhere safe in a strange town to park a long car and trailer for a week finally pushes them over the edge. The result is often a lift keel yacht that is only trailed home and back once each winter.

Despite this, I’m convinced that with proper planning, well thought out systems and a boat and trailer package that isn’t too heavy for the car, I can make it work.

I’ve started well, by investing in a decent lightweight lift keeler; a Swift 18, one of John Charnley’s first boatbuilding ventures (See Discovery 57 boat test on p-14 for what he’s moved onto now). We shall have to see whether this is a dream that will quickly tarnish in the salt air.

Graduation

Day

On 5 December more than 200 people joined staff and students of the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis to celebrate the launch of eight new boats built by the ‘Class of March 2012’ as part of the Academy’s 38 week ‘long’ course.

Mayor of Lyme Regis, Sally Holman, opened proceedings with a short speech, followed

by Boat Building Academy director, Commander Tim Gedge. The boats are built in the last six months of the course and give students hands-on experience of a range of construction types and were launched one by one into the harbour.

“Because the Academy does not undertake commercial work and is not part of the Further Education state system it means that we can provide a course that is totally focused on training,” Principal Yvonne Green said. “The boats are a testament to the skills the students have learnt…”

Frenchman Fined

Marc Guillemot, skipper of the French racing yacht Safran, has been fined £9,381 and ordered to pay costs of £4,125 for travelling the wrong way in the Dover Strait Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS).

As reported back in the August edition of Sailing Today (ST184) Guillemot left Lizard Point in Cornwall on 6 June 2012, to undertake a record attempt for the fastest sail around the United Kingdom and Ireland.

At 11.43pm that night the Frenchman was seen by Dover Coastguard, travelling in a North Easterly direction, in the South West lane of the TSS. On the 7 June at 4am, the yacht failed to proceed in the appropriate traffic lane in the Sunk Traffic Separation Scheme.

During its passage, several merchant ships altered course to avoid a collision with the yacht. Dover Coastguard made a number of attempts to contact the yacht with no response.

Eventually the French Coastguard got in touch and pointed out the vessel was travelling the wrong way in the TSS. Guillemot replied saying he was trying to break the record for sailing around the UK and Ireland and would not alter course.

In total, Safran travelled 28 nautical miles in the wrong direction in both separation schemes.This was in breach of Rule 10(b)(i) of the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972.

40ft success

After over 3,300 nautical miles the Class 40 yacht Vaquita has taken line honours in the ARC 2012, having sailed from Gran Canaria in just over 12 days.

Vaquita blasted across the finish line at 14kn with the crew pushing the boat hard in front of the local and international media in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia, on 7 December.The Austrian crew of six crossed the line at 10:22 local (14:22UTC) on 7 December 2012, giving them an elapsed time of 12 days, 1:37 hours.

Once across the finish line the crew dived into the warm Caribbean water to both cool down and celebrate their success, to the delight of those cheering from the spectator boats alongside.

Skippered by Christof Petter, Vaquita, had a crew of leading Austrian sailors aboard, including Andreas Hanakamp, former Team Russia Volvo Ocean Race skipper and two time Olympic star.The yacht sailed an extreme northerly route from Gran Canaria, clocking speeds of up to 25kn during the crossing.

This is the team’s third consecutive year racing in the ARC, each time favouring the northerly passage, and each time the route has paid off.

winds of Change

Developers of an offshore wind park have announced significant reductions to their plans for an area just off the Isle of Wight’s coastline.

The company behind the wind farm, Navitus bay Development Ltd, has revised plans and stated that the change was a direct result of consultation feedback received.

The changes include moving the development further out to sea and making it smaller in scale, reducing the visual impact on three main areas Durlston Head, The Needles and bournemouth.

Testing Times

Safety experts, Ocean Safety are inviting yacht owners to familiarise themselves with equipment when the company throws its doors open to customers at its offices in Southampton on 16-17 February and Plymouth on 16 February.

Sailors are invited to bring along liferafts, lifejackets, and other serviceable safety equipment to be checked

by Ocean Safety’s expert team. everyone is welcome to turn up to watch general demonstrations but if you want to see your own liferaft inflated or equipment opened and checked you will need to make an appointment. This equipment can then be left for servicing and collected at a later date.

Life of PY

back in the November issue of Sailing Today (ST187) we reported in these very pages

an appeal from the rya for more returns from cruisers who also did racing in order to continue to calculate Portsmouth yardstick (Py) handicap numbers. unfortunately the amount of data returned has not increased and the rya have been forced to start looking at new systems.

The Technical Department at the rya are working on a new handicapping system, due to be rolled out in March next year.

shufflebottom Buys

Fox’s yacht Sales, owned by richard Matthews’ Fox’s Holdings Group, has been purchased for an undisclosed sum by long time Managing Director, robert Shufflebottom. based at Fox’s Marina in Ipswich the business continues as the east coast dealer for beneteau yachts and powerboats as well as operating a brokerage. They will also continue to provide a range of boatyard services.

All Are Delighted

Her Majesty The Queen has announced that the volunteer Coastguard rescue Service has been awarded The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Volunteering award 2012.

The award is a particularly special, one-off category of the Queen’s award for Voluntary Service - which was established in 2002 and is considered the Mbe for community voluntary groups.

Following the announcement, the Marine and Coastguard agency released a statement explaining that: ‘all Coastguard Officers whether full time or volunteer are both delighted and honoured to receive this award’.

French canals

Mastless

to the Mediterranean

After fifteen months of renovation work on their yacht Fandancer, Georgie and Tim Moon finally left the UK behind, late in the year, to sail to Greece. The first part of their journey, through the French canals, proved exhilarating rather than challenging. “I never knew you could take a boat all the way to the south of France by canal!� We met so many people who made this comment when we reached the Mediterranean. So this is how we did it .....

We bought Fandancer, a 40ft ketch, in March 2010. Our aim was to live aboard permanently in Greece, but first we had to prepare the boat and arrange the first part of our trip, across the Channel.

PreParaTIOns We kept Fandancer in Gosport while we worked on her. We initially chose her as a roomy boat for two to live aboard, and because she had a modest draught of only 1.4m, which was helpful for the canal trip.

We had read in several places that actual depths in the French canal system are considerably shallower than advertised, especially when heading out of the

centre of the canal to avoid an oncoming barge!

After months of hard work renovating Fandancer, our thoughts turned to the serious matter of demasting once in France, and how to carry the masts on deck. We had done some research into how some cruisers preferred to send their masts by road but we decided to take ours with us, a decision we never regretted. Tim built three substantial and rigid mast supports from timber, that straddled the deck but still left us enough room to move about.

We left Gosport in early October, for no particular reason other than after a major re-fit we had done enough work on Fandancer for her to be seaworthy and comfortable, and we didn’t want to wait until

another winter had passed. An important consideration for us leaving at this time of year was that the route we would take through France would depend on the “chomages� or canal works that are scheduled in advance throughout the year. The dates for canal closures are available on the VNF website, which also gives a useful map of the canal system. It is not true that all the French canals are closed over the winter, although most of the locks do have some work scheduled. We only had one major closure deadline to aim for, which was that we had to be through the last lock at Conde-sur-Marne on the Canal Lateral a la Marne before October 31. We were there on the 29th!

Feeling 1090

As well as becoming known for their smaller swing keel designs, Kirie’s Feeling Yachts range gained a healthy reputation for rapid and modern fin keelers.

ack in the December 2012 edition of Sailing Today I looked at the Dufour 35, one of the vanguard of high volume large (for those days) French cruisers of the late 1970s. A decade on and the French manufacturers still led the way in balancing performance with spacious accommodation. Meanwhile, the Mediterranean charter business was building a significant market for bright, modern looking, easy to sail cruising yachts, while owners of older, more conservatively designed craft could still be heard loud and clear in their disapproval at boat shows of this new breed of voluminous white plastic ‘cruising caravans’. The Kirie Feeling 1090 was a development and extension of Philippe Harle’s early ‘80s Feeling 1040. The 1040, which ST tested in December 2008, had been well received due to its modern styling and optional double aft cabin versatility. Thanks to Harle’s background in designing race boats, the 1040 also had garnered a reputation for being pretty quick around the cans. The 1090 continued the modern impression thanks to a raised saloon with wraparound look front windows. Even knowing that French designs were leading the way in modernity at the time, I was surprised to learn this 1090 was a 1987 boat. It would not be until the turn of the millennium that stylish deck saloon cruisers became noticeably more popular. Back in 1987 when Great Feeling was launched this was the latest new boat in the range. The 1090 continued little modified until 1995 when it was extended and later redeveloped into the Feeling 39. Larger Feelings were produced until recently by Alliaura Marine.

Over the years the brand was bought and sold several times and the yachts built in either La Rochelle or Les Sables D’Olonne on the West coast of France.

MYMARINA

Tranquility in the heart of London

Ivory House

West Marina

London offers a wide array of attractions to the visitor, but could it really be a satisfactory spot to moor a yacht? Toby Heppell investigates.

M

any marinas in the UK in winter are thankless, desolate places to spend time. Most boats are out of the water and only a handful of people brave the cold to do some vital maintenance, dreaming of the summer to come; or escaping the mania of home life in winter.

Visiting St Katharine Docks, however, provides a sense of picturesque tranquillity but also vibrancy rarely found at this time of year in the marine environment. This sense of peacefulness is perhaps all the more impressive due to the positioning of the dock in the very heart of London.

Perhaps it is down to festive spirit - we did visit in mid December after all - but with an array of restaurants surrounding the dock, and city workers wandering around, grabbing a quick lunch and a relax overlooking the boats, this dock feels like a little winter wonderland.

Okay maybe we were getting carried away by the time of year but of an evening, it can be very beautiful. There is evidence

of a dock existing here since 1125 and many of the old buildings add to the impressive air. Unfortunately, this cannot be said for all buildings and certainly not for the most disagreeable, Tower Hotel.

This eyesore prompted Simon Jenkins, Chairman of the National Trust to write

in The Guardian newspaper:“Whoever allowed this to be put up should be shot.”

We couldn’t agree more.

St Katharine Docks are situated right next to Tower Bridge.

This will be the fifth winter Gus and Helen Wilson have spent moored in St Katharine Docks and have got to know the area well over that time. Like many moored here at this time of year, the couple tends to come and keep their boat here for the winter but spend the summer cruising various parts of the world, before returning to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Capital during the long dark winter months.

The pair cruise and spend much of their time on their Sabre 38 mkII, Wings.

Although the Sabre series is little known in the UK and Europe, they are big in the Wilson’s home country, the USA. After purchasing Wings back in 1998 they sailed her over from the US in 2008 and have been touring Europe, the Med and occasionally popping back stateside since.

Gus first saw the dock on a brief visit to

the UK back in the ‘70s and felt then it would make a fine home port.

Although at first I thought a long term mooring in such an overlooked dock might feel a bit exposed and noisy, the Wilsons don’t seem to feel these are issues, with a few provisos.“As long as you make sure you moor bow-on you get a fair amount of privacy,” Gus explained. Currently some work is underway around the marina - next year should see some major refurbishments - which has added to the noise levels but even with this and especially under more normal circumstances the couple find the dock very peaceful indeed. It has to be said, this is surprising as the dock is, in effect, right next to a main road running the stretch of the Thames. However, our visit on a fairly busy weekday did show this to be the case.

For vessels over 100ft (30.5m) (incl VAT).

Duration Per Metre LOA 1. Daily Berth (period up to 21 days) £8.00 2. Daily Berth (period 22 to 30 days) £7.00 3. Daily Berth (period 31 to 45 days) £6.00

One of the primary reasons for choosing St Katharine – besides it providing a winter berth in the heart of London and all the associated benefits – is the protection offered. Once inside the lock, all three distinct dock areas – East, West and Central – are protected by the various buildings surrounding them. This gives the dock a calm and peaceful air even when there is a storm raging. As you are technically not allowed to live aboard, due to a number of bylaws, this is obviously a boon for any sailor leaving their boat for long periods during the winter. The complex is also under surveillance 24hrs a day, another feature the Wilsons say is important.
