INTRODUCTION

nother year and another yearbook – yes it’s that time already! 2012, our first full year of trading at James Watt Dock Marina, has been a busy and enjoyable one. Although inevitably the wider site development has been slowed by the poor UK economic climate, the marina development has continued. In 2012 we were joined by 45 new berth holders in addition to welcoming a number of local and overseas visitors. Interest in the early part of the season meant we were able to extend the marina further adding 5 x 7m fingers. In Spring 2013 we will be extending the marina further with a mix of 13m and 8m fingers in addition to beginning the installation of ‘D’ pontoon which will provide added alongside berthing. During 2013 we will be staging some events for marina berth holders so keep an eye on the website (www.jwdmarina.co.uk) and our Facebook page for more information. If you have a particular idea for a fun event at the marina please let Graeme or Jean know and we’ll see if we can build it into our programme. Many of our customers have been impressed at just how much there is to do in waters of the Northern Clyde. A few of the more intrepid souls have been ‘up river’ a few times and have thoroughly enjoyed the Riverside Museum, science centre and the visitor pontoons. It’s a great trip for a change of scenery and a great chance to meet friends in the centre of Glasgow for drinks aboard the boat, before venturing out for a meal or a concert. On the racing side, whilst numbers on the Clyde have generally dwindled an initiative by the Royal Northern YC and Helensburgh SC for various clubs and marinas to join together to race on the East Patch has been hugely successful and resulted in the highest regular fleet turnouts for years. In 2013 the format has been improved further and we

are hopeful of seeing in excess of 30 boats racing regularly. Why not give racing a try yourself, you don’t need a dedicated race boat just something between 22’ and 40’ and a keen crew. Plenty of advice will be on hand in the pub afterwards and over the phone to anyone wanting to give racing a go! Talking of the pub; the Garvel Point Bar and Restaurant was refurbished in 2012 and to make it easier to saunter over for a beer or a meal we have installed pedestrian gates at both ends of the boatyard. We are working on trying to bring some new services to the marina for the 2013 season so look out for updates on the website, Facebook and of course the office notice board. We continue to work with Sunbird Yachts for our brokerage and new boat sales and Key Yachting will also be coming on board so please talk to Craig or Martin if you are thinking of buying or selling. For 2014 the marina has joined a bid with the RYA for the Small Ships Race which will see them racing on the Clyde and then meeting up with a Scottish Canals/RYA Scotland cruise up river for the start of the Commonwealth Games. You can register for this and other events at www.scottishcanals. co.uk/winningyears. In closing, the team at James Watt Dock would like to thank all our customers, visitors and contractors for the support that has enabled us to establish the marina so quickly and to develop such a great community - we look forward to another exciting and enjoyable years’ boating in 2013

APPROACHES BY SEA ames Watt Dock is entered from the main Clyde channel with the large blue Titan crane and Sugar Warehouse visible from the Clydeport Container Terminal. From the Tail of the Bank buoy off Greenock, follow the channel until the yellow cardinal marking the north side of the entrance to the dock is seen south of Buoy No 16 (5th Port marker after the Tail of the Bank). There is ample depth in the main channel, and yachts will normally be safe out of the channel to the north except between the Tail of the Bank and Buoy No 4, where the depth is less than 2m. Skippers are advised to refer to Admiralty Chart 1994 for detailed navigation information. Enter the marina keeping the yellow cardinal marker to your port side (approximate location 55N 56’ 46.39” -4W 44’ 9.01”); there is a drying bank between the yellow cardinal and the main shipping channel. As you enter the dock you will see the marina in front of you. Vessels to be berthed in North Basin should proceed to the port side of the central quay whilst vessels to be berthed in South Basin should proceed to the starboard side of the central quay. The marina plan on page 28 may assist in locating your allocated berth on arrival at James Watt Dock.

HOW TO GET HERE BY CAR (from Glasgow) Post Code: PA15 2UT James Watt Dock Marina is located off the main M8/A8 road to Greenock.

LOCAL RACING

acing from James Watt Dock takes place on the ‘East Patch’ under the organisation of the East Patch Racing Committee (EPRC). Racing is open to members of any yacht club providing they have paid the appropriate race fee. Summer mid-week racing takes place on Wednesday evenings whilst the Spring and Autumn Series are run on Sundays. There are class starts for IRC / CYCA 1 & 2 with One Design starts for Sonatas and Sonars. The start line is approximately 2.0nm from the marina in close proximity to the wreck of the ‘Captayannis’ commonly known as the Sugar Ship. Courses are set by the officer of the day (OOD) and feature predominately windward/leeward courses with an option ‘A’ and ‘B’ for each course which permits the setting of a suitable course for each class.

If you are interested in finding out more about the history of Greenock then we would recommend a visit to the McLean Museum & Art Gallery on Kelly Street. Alternatively, Robert Murray Smith’s book ‘The History of Greenock’ (1921) provides an in-depth historical narrative on the town from its beginning to its rise to one of the most significant seaports of the industrial age.

2012 JWD Marina reaches 75 berths with further expansion on the way

GUIDANCE NOTES

hese guidance notes have been prepared to assist berth holders and visitors in the safe berthing of their boats whilst moored at James Watt Dock Marina.

Mooring Lines & Fendering: We recommend that good quality multi-plait rope is used for the mooring of vessels. Where possible please do not use old halyards or sheets for mooring lines and never use polypropolene rope as this type of rope offers very poor holding strength. From time-totime it may be necessary to place additional lines on your boat; accordingly 2 spare mooring lines of suitable length and diameter for the boat should be kept in an accessible place for marina staff use. Fenders should be secured to a strong point on the boat and attached using at least 8mm Ø multi-plait rope or similar. We would recommend the use of the cylindrical style of fender (as opposed to the round type) as these offer better protection in a marina environment.

Owners may wish to fit ‘snubbers’ to their mooring lines which can assist in reducing the impact of shock loads on the boat.

Berthing: On the opposite page diagrams show the preferred method for mooring your boat at James Watt Dock. Alongside Berthing Lines: 1. Bow line 2. Bow spring line 3. Stern spring 4. Stern breast Line

The marina’s management kindly ask boat owners not to fix additional fendering to the pontoon structure. Should you wish to attach a bow/stern fender to your berth please speak to the marina manager on how best to do this. Please note that whilst we regularly check boats in the marina, we cannot accept responsibility for any damage resulting from inadequate mooring.

Cleats and Fairleads: The most common reasons for mooring failure are as a result of chafe to mooring lines and a failure of the mooring point. Fairleads and cleats should be checked to ensure they are strong enough for the task in hand and that there are no sharp edges which

may prompt the chafing of lines. To prevent chafing we would recommend that chafe protectors are fitted to those lines which may be susceptible to chafe and that mooring lines are inspected regularly (particularly if your boat is afloat during the winter).

GUIDANCE NOTES PREPARING FOR WINTER

turns taken off them to ensure they are able to turn freely and are not seized

PREPARATIONS FOR COMING ASHORE 1.

Please ensure that all sails, spray hoods, dodgers and other canvas work are removed prior to lifting out. Failure to remove these items will result in a delay to your lift or additional charges. Removing these items not only ensures their longevity but significantly reduces the windage and thus loads placed on your boat

PREPARING FOR MAST RE-STEP 1.

When the mast is off it is a good idea to clean out the threads on your bottle screws and lubricate

Please limit any covers placed on the boat. If covers are necessary, these must be securely attached to strong points on the boat using good quality fixings

It is advised that split pins are replaced every year. Please leave replacement split pins on your chart table for restepping your mast

We would recommend that yachts ashore with masts up fit ratchet straps across the deck down onto the cradle. A number of our cradles are fitted with fixing eyes for this purpose

Once your mast is re-stepped all rigging will be connected and tightened so that the mast is secure

James Watt Dock Marina does not provide yard ladders. Owners will need to provide their own ladders which should be brought to the boat at each visit or locked to the cradle (please provide the office with the combination or spare key for your lock)

It is up to the customer to fine tune the rig, re-connect cables, and run halyards through deck fittings

PREPARING FOR WINTER AFLOAT 1.

All sails and canvas work to be removed by 1st November unless you are planning to use the boat regularly

For yachts fitted with a furling headsail this should be secured by wrapping at least two turns of the sheet around the furled sail ensuring that the furling line is securely tied off. If you have a furling mainsail this must be fully retracted and a line secured through the clew around the mast

All mooring lines must be of good quality and properly led. We recommend that multi-plait rope is used for the mooring of vessels - never use polypropylene rope as it provides very poor holding strength

From time-to-time it may be necessary to place additional lines on your boat. Please ensure that 2 spare mooring lines of suitable length and diameter for your boat are accessible to marina staff

PREPARATIONS FOR MAST REMOVAL

If we have to remove your windex, antenna or anemometer for craning these will be placed inside the boat on the chart table (please ensure we have keys for your boat)

All sails must be removed along with the boom and kicker

All electrical cables running through the mast or deck must be removed and secured (or ready to pull through)

All halyards must be clear of clutches and tied/taped around the mast

Split pins should be checked and ready to pull out of bottle screws (split pins will be disposed of by marina staff)

Bottle screws should have a couple of

GUIDANCE NOTES 5.

The most common reasons for mooring failure is as a result of chafe to mooring lines or a failure of the mooring point. Fairleads and cleats should be checked to ensure they are strong enough for the task in hand and that there are no sharp edges which may prompt the chafing of lines

PREPARING FOR UNDER COVER STORAGE (CARAVANS) 1.

Ensure that your insurance is up-to-date and a copy of your insurance certificate is handed in to the marina office. James Watt Dock is CaSSOA registered (no. 820) which may entitle you to a discount on your premium

Please provide a spare set of keys for your caravan and any wheel or hitch locks

If you plan to fit winter wheel stands please inform marina staff as this may affect the bay you are allocated

Similarly, if you plan to use the caravan over the winter (1st October – 31st March) please let marina staff know as this will affect the bay you are allocated

When your caravan is placed under cover you will be issued with a bay number. Please make sure your card or sticker is displayed in the front window of your caravan at all times

Gas cylinders should be removed from caravans that are not going to be used regularly

10. Fitting a small greenhouse-type heater and a dehumidifier can assist in keeping your boat dry over the winter

It is advisable to place a cover over your caravan whilst it is in storage

11. Stand all upholstery on its edge (or store it elsewhere) and remove bedding to a warm dry place. For yachts, sails should ideally be stored away from the boat to stop them going mouldy and making the boat damp. If you require any repairs to covers or sails then Saturn Sails (01475 689 933) can collect from the marina. Please let the marina office know if you wish to take advantage of this service

Finally, check that your contact details are up-to-date with the marina office

All dinghies must be removed from the water. We suggest that these are deflated and stored ashore (they will last longer that way!) We suggest that diesel tanks are filled before the winter and that the fuel is treated with a proprietary fuel treatment biocide Ensure all canopies and covers are well attached and in serviceable condition – a good gale quickly seeks out weaknesses in canvas work. Some power boats with high aspect canopies are particularly susceptible and it may be prudent to have a tonneau cover manufactured for use in the winter Make sure bilges are dry and that your bilge pump is fully working. To prevent pollution we recommend that a ‘bilge sock’ is placed in the bilge or a filter used

12. Remove your outboard for servicing and take off any old petrol. Clyde Outboard Services (01475 635 700) or The Outboard Shop (01475 560 324) can arrange to collect and service your outboard

Key Yachting Ltd. is the exclusive agent in Scotland for J Boats, Grand Soleil and Princess Motor Yachts. Key Yachting also run an extensive brokerage business for pre-owned yachts and motorboats. The Key Yachting office, located in Kip Marina, is managed by Peter Cameron.

J Boats have long dominated the high-end, performance oriented segment of the racing market. Starting with the 7 metre J/70 Sportsboat (launched in Spring 2012) and moving up through to the 13 metre J/133, there is a winning J Boat to suit all requirements.

BOATS

Grand Soleil cruiser-racers are an icon of ‘made in Italy’ design and style. 2013 sees two new additions to this elegant range, which spans models between 39 and 66 foot. Each model delivers performance, comfortable living space and luxurious detail.

SCOTLAND

Since 1965 Princess Yachts have been quietly re-writing the rules of luxury cruising. From the legendary Flybridge range and thrilling V-Class sports yachts to the long-range Motor Yachts and ground breaking M-Class superyachts: all are unmistakably Princess.

Nautitech has been one of the largest catamaran builders in France since 1999. Their energetic team of designers pride themselves on creating vessels that don’t compromise on safety, comfort, aesthetics, or performance.

For more information on any of the models in our portfolio or for details on the brokerage boats listed with Key Yachting Ltd, please just call or email us.
