Motor Cruising HELPING YOU PREPARE & MAKE THE MOST OUT OF YOUR MOTOR CRUISING Motor cruising can be one of the most relaxing pastimes imaginable. In order to ensure you really do get the most out of any trip you should be prepared with respect to all aspects of the trip whether it be a day trip or a few days at sea.

Before each and every boat trip however short, you should make a number of safety checks to ensure the safety of you and your crew. The

12

following essential checks should be made prior to any trip at sea or in the river: • Have you and your crew each got a lifejacket?

• If you have got a VHF radio, call your marina to check it is functioning correctly.

• Check that your oil, petrol or diesel levels are adequate for the trip that you are about to make.

• Tell others where you are going.

• Check that your flares are still within the use by date.

• Check the weather forecast and tides.

• Check the condition of the boat and its equipment.

• If you have a tender (dinghy and outboard) check that the engine on the outboard is functioning correctly, since as a last resort the tender and outboard may need to be used.

• Carry a tool kit and essential spares.

For more detailed information please see www.rnli.org.uk Before going out to sea and for your family and any passenger’s sake, you must ensure you at least have all the basic sea skills, including navigation, rules of the water, use of safety equipment and boat/engine maintenance. It is well advised as a minimum measure to attend Level 1 and Level 2 powerboat courses which are usually 1 and 2 days respectively. The cost of these is usually about £200 to £300. The Level 2 will also give you the ICC (International Certificate of Competency), which will enable you to cruise your boat abroad.

After you have ensured you have completed all the essential safety checks, you can consider all the essential items to enjoy a pleasurable cruise.

MOTOR CRUISING ON A HOT SUMMER’S DAY • Take your swimming costume and towels. At any time you might want to put the anchor down and take a swim. If you are really keen you may want to take the opportunity to swim around your boat and clean parts of the hull that you can’t usually reach whilst you are in your marina.

• A small gas barbeque is always invaluable on a hot sunny day. Anchor up, take your tender to the beach and enjoy. Keep an eye out for beaches that

do not allow BBQ’s and don’t forget to pack the food.

• If you are taking children out on the boat then ensure that there are a few games and things for them to do whilst cruising. You may be happy doing nothing, just watching the coastline but kids quickly get bored. Take a bucket and spade, a ball, or whatever your kids enjoy, so that if and when you go to the beach they have activities to keep them amused.

• Ensure that you have plenty of drinks (soft drinks) and be very careful when drinking alcohol.

Currently there are no alcohol limits at sea, but for safety’s sake you or a competent member of your crew must at all times be ready in case of emergency.

• Before you go out on a trip check that the water is filled, so that when you get out of the water you can have a fresh water shower if your boat is equipped.

• It is always sensible to take along some spare clothes and warm clothes, even in the summer, as when the sun goes down out at sea you can quite quickly find yourself getting cold, especially if you are cruising along at 30m knots, in the early evening.

MOTOR CRUISING ON A COLD WINTER’S DAY Most of the same safety points apply, but in winter wrap up very warm – gloves, extra coats, thermals, as it can be colder than ski-ing during mid winter.

If your own private motor cruiser is out of your budget, you can always consider chartering a motor cruiser. Because of their cost they will usually have their own skipper, and you can pay anything from £400 for ½ day to £1000 for a full day, depending on the size of the boat you decide to charter.

Restoring A Classic Wooden Boat

If you are a sailor, sailing a wooden boat is one of the most pleasurable, satisfying feelings in the world. The admiring glances from bystanders will fill you with pride, especially if you have restored the boat to its former, glorious standard with your own blood, sweat and tears. The passion that you feel for your wooden craft is something that a GRP, steel or aluminium boat can never compete with. Wood on water is the perfect marriage of man and nature.

The most cost effective way to own a wooden boat is to buy a restoration project and restore it yourself. As well as being a way of buying your boat at excellent value, it can be very

rewarding to pick up a cheap project and rebuild and repair it at your own pace, spreading the cost as you work.

For the amateur, however, the problem is knowing where to start. There are many books on the subject of boat restoration, and these can be an invaluable starting point, although do be aware that sometimes they are produced with conflicting advice from different writers. Seasoned professionals, or enthusiastic amateurs with their own experiences of rebuilding and restoring usually write these books. Experts tips can give you insights into shortcuts that could save you hours.

“The most cost effective way to own a wooden boat is to buy a restoration project and restore it yourself ” 14

“Sailing a restored boat is one of the most pleasurable & satisfying feelings in the world ” It is likely that this will be a long-term project as repairing and restoring can be both costly and time consuming. Do remember that the bigger the boat the higher the likely costs for rebuilding as well as maintenance and mooring. It is advisable to start small but also to buy the right boat for your needs.

You may find the boat you wish to buy through adverts in boating magazines but if you’re after a real bargain, then boatyards and marinas often have old, abandoned boats that the yard owners have repossessed to pay outstanding charges and it is well worth searching them out.

If this is your first project, then start small and simple with an 8” flat-bottomed rowboat, or pram. You will need an ice pick to diagnose the state of the pram.

Use the ice pick to test the condition of the hull.

The wooden planks may have become soft if they are starting to rot. Test the planks on the outside, the inside and also the boat’s ribs to ascertain what needs replacing. Ideally, the wood should be too hard for the ice pick to penetrate but, obviously, in a very old boat some softness must be anticipated. Check every inch of the pram, even the awkward hardto-reach places. In particular, check any place that water may have pooled when the boat was not in use, as this is the most likely area to experience rot.

The rotten or soft timber will need replacing. Use a wood like cedar or fir for the planks, and a harder wood such as oak for the ribs. If your hull is slightly rounded then you will need to steam the planks first so that they can be bent into a curve before being nailed onto the hull. This will require help, as steaming and bending before the wood cools and hardens again is a tricky process.

The next important task is to caulk the boat’s seams so that it is waterproof. Apply a marine use caulking and take your time to ensure that you don’t skip any areas, after all your hard work a leak would be very unwelcome.

Finally, seal the boat with a good marine sealant and maybe even a fresh lick of paint, and you re ready to set sail!

Mooring & Marinas HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT MARINA OR BOAT MOORING: When looking for a boat mooring or marina, there are many different aspects to consider from location and costs to facilities.

BOAT MARINA OR MOORING LOCATION Primarily, the most important consideration when choosing the right mooring is the distance to your boat from your home, and obviously the nearer it will be, the better. Location, location location -similar to house buying, the location of the marina and mooring is important and will to some extent determine the cost of your mooring. The closest marina is an advantage likely to beat any other facilities that might be available because of course, the nearer you are the easier the whole process will be.

BOAT MOORING COSTS The most inexpensive boat mooring is a floating buoy, which can cost anything from approximately £200 to £600 a year. The drawbacks here are that there will be no facilities available to you such as fresh running water to clean the boat or stationary power supply. If your boat is moored on a floating buoy in a harbour, or estuary, then it is likely that

18

you will need a tender (a small inflatable boat) to reach your mooring, while on a river you may be using a buoy next to the bank in which case you will be able to board from shore.

By contrast the most expensive moorings for your boat will be a marina (probably on the South coast) with all facilities provided. In this instance the costs vary from marina to marina, depending on facilities and accessibility. Some marinas have locks for example, and you will need to wait for a high tide in order to take your boat from the marina. Another example is a marina on the South coast which is comparatively inexpensive, but has the disadvantage of having a lifting bridge which only opens at certain times of the day. The cost of having your boat in a marina is usually priced by the meterage / footage of your boat, and is usually anything from £300 to £450 per metre. Be aware that your boat is measured from stern to bow, and the bathing platform is often included in the length. Therefore, an 8 metre boat can cost up to £3,500 a year in mooring fees alone.

Another consideration to take into account for your boat mooring is a dry stack mooring.

These can usually only be considered for boats less than about 9 metres. They are usually equally or more expensive than a marina berthed mooring, but do have other advantages. If your boat is in coastal waters they have the great advantage of significant savings on your boat maintenance bills, as for example your boat does not need to be antifouled so frequently, and anode replacement is less frequent. Usually with a dry stack mooring you just ring the marina 30 minutes to 1 hour before your arrival and on your arrival your boat has been lifted into the water.

Boat Mooring / Marina Facilities. The marina facilities that you may want to consider are as follows: • Petrol and or diesel pumps (often the marina will discount the fuel if you are a berth holder).

• Restaurant and pub facilities.

• Fresh running water.

• Electricity. Adequate power 30 / 50 amp. Is electricity metered and charged?

• Berth holders associations at your marina, that organise flotillas.

• Boat security, e.g., CCTV surveillance.

• Whether the marina has full access to trained boat engineers.

• On-site marine workshop.

• Boat repair facilities ashore and afloat.

• Wi-Fi or satellite TV facilities.

• Amenities providing showers, toilets and launderette facilities.

• Is there a tender or dinghy rack.

• Berths available for your visiting friends.

• Boat chandlery, with a good selection of boat parts and accessories.

• Boat hoist and wash off service, with hard standing.

• Dedicated parking.

• Distance to walk from your car to your boat.

• Local shopping centre within several minutes walk.

• Excellent public transport links.

• Listening watch on VHF radio channels.

• Marina has lockers to store any additional gear.

• Are there enough marina trolleys, for loading your equipment into your boat?

• Is there a lot of sea gull (bird) droppings on the fingers/boats or car parking area?

This scheme is a joint venture between the RNLI and the BSA. It is all about reducing the level of surfrelated incidents in the UK. Last year over 40% of RNLI lifeguard activity involved surf-related activity (the highest single pursuit). Surf Hire Safety is aimed at the hire sector that is largely unregulated and offers varying levels of advice and good practice within their operations.

There are currently 1000s of outlets supplying relatively dangerous goods (especially when in the wrong hands) for hire: from large commercial businesses to one man and his van operations. Surf Hire Safety aims to introduce a voluntary code of practice, which allows people renting surfing equipment to know they are using safe and reliable kit.

Information for surfers: Stay safe in the surf Look out for this logo and choose a scheme member when hiring your board.

What does it mean?

Members of the surf hire safety scheme have agreed: • To only rent equipment suitable to your ability • To provide safety information to all customers • To check equipment regularly for damage • To maintain adequate insurance Other ways to stay safe in the surf • Wherever possible, always surf at a lifeguarded beach and follow the advice of the lifeguards, • Novices should only ever surf between the black and white flags.

• Ask a lifeguard for advice on where to surf.

• Always have a lesson at an approved BSA or ISA school.

• Always wear your leash.

• If you get into trouble never abandon your board it will keep you afloat. Wave your hand and shout for help.

• Never surf alone.

• Never surf between the red and yellow flags.

• Never drop in on another surfer.
