PONTOON DECKING

A busier than expected P.S.P. Southampton Boat Show, showing a feeling of optimism amongst many of our customers Mini Mesh

ollowing a busier than expected P.S.P. Southampton Boat Show, showing a feeling of optimism amongst many of our customers, I am delighted that many exhibiting marinas gained a number of useful berthing enquiries, both for the Winter and next Spring. We can never do too much marketing. As in industry, we are very pleased to have the support of the RYA in so much of our work. At the P.S.P. Southampton Boatshow, five marine companies, four of them marinas, received certificates congratulating them on their ECO credentials having all completed the Green Blue marine toolkit which helps them compose an environmental action plan. The work of TYHA goes on in securing space on the Which Marina? Stand, collecting articles for the Fore & Aft magazine. And on that note, please don’t forget to write in your letters “To the Editor” and photo captions. As a participant of the Gold Anchor Award Scheme, I would wholeheartedly recommend it to every marina operator. The scheme offers the marina operator the opportunity of a thorough assessment of their marina facilities, services, staff training, maintenance and investment schedules, H.S.E., environmental policy as well as an excellent source of advice and a marketing opportunity. Please don’t underestimate the future value of the scheme to our customers as they will become more and more aware of its objectives.

The scheme has recently won the support of both the RYA and The Reeds Nautical Almanac. Those gold anchor logos will soon be everywhere. Don’t forget to fly the flag! Over the winter we will be turning our attention to that great January event. I would like to welcome all our members onto the Which Marina? Stand at the Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show. If you haven’t already, you will meet Libby Gordon our Administrator and Gareth Turnbull our General Manager. There will be plenty of staff on the stand to meet old friends and chat to customers. We even have a meeting room for members available on the stand and available by prior booking. Lastly I would like to thank all the team at Marine House and in particular Gareth and Libby, together with all members of the Management Council for their support this year. I look forward to seeing you at London.

GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT We are working hard to promote our members to the boating community on your behalf, we have teamed up with the RYA and the Reeds Nautical Almanac to promote Gold Anchor rated marinas.

Dear reader… In October this year, Howard Pridding the BMF Executive Director asked David Cameron directly for the assurance of support for small sectors like the marine sector. Mr Cameron’s response was positive and indicated that the government are committed to supporting small businesses through the economic recovery. It is a sign of the significance of our businesses and with a typical 80 – 90% occupancy at British Marinas and the tendency for berth holders to travel significant distances for marina facilities, it is clear we need all the help we can get to sustain and develop the industry. Of course many TYHA members are already working hard to maintain or increase their occupancy and this is essential because the freedom of information and the willingness for yachtsmen to travel means our berth holders will shop around for value for money, location, facilities and customer services. This issue of Fore & Aft will offer some tips on promotion in our sector and we have asked marketing experts Ten Alps to demystify Social Networking and explain how an investment in staff time will encourage your customers to use their boats and how to attract new berth holders. We are working hard to promote our members to the boating 0 6 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

community on your behalf, we have teamed up with the RYA and the Reeds Nautical Almanac to promote Gold Anchor rated marinas. We also promote marinas through the TYHA website Berthsearch.com which enjoys nearly 1800 unique visitors each month actively seeking new marina berths. Through the Gold Anchor award scheme we have found some marinas to be quietly efficient and others make their customers feel like they are entering a luxury boutique where boats are prepared for their arrival. Then again others work hard in the local community encouraging neighbours to visit and use the marina and help them aspire to

owning a boat one day. No matter what you do, yachtsmen need to know about it. We are also working with our neighbouring countries to encourage cross border relationships and to make the longer voyage slightly more accessible. I hope you enjoy this Yearbook issue of the Fore & Aft and that it offers some inspiration.

Rolec Purpose Built Headquarters Rolec Services of Wisbech UK have reported that construction has started on their new £2,000,000 headquarters in Boston, Lincolnshire.

TO THE EDITOR

Dear Sir…

This year Scotland has undergone a rating revaluation. The last revaluation took place in 2005. At Largs Yacht Haven on Firth of Clyde our rateable value has risen overnight from 172,000 to 217,500 making rates payable of £90,000 on a 700 berth marina. As we have constructed the marina ourselves from reclaimed land over the last 20 years we do not benefit from any public services. We have installed at our own cost roads, services, street lighting and security to a 23 acre site. We pay for waste collection, security, road repairs, street lighting and water privately on top of the £90,000 charge. RV is calculated on turnover and maximum meterage. Have other marinas been affected by the revaluation and are we paying more than the average?

Dear Sir…

I note during your recent article regarding the new fuel duty to be applied as from 1st October that VAT rate is 5% for fuel used for propulsion and domestic use. However according to our supplier, deliveries to one location in one day if under 2,300 litres it is considered domestic usage and charged at 5% VAT. Any location having more that 2,300 Litres of gas oil delivered in anyone day is classed as commercial usage and therefore charged at the higher VAT level. Can you please advise if this is correct.

Carolyn Elder - Largs Yacht Haven

Dear Carolyn…

Dear reader…

The rating assessment of any property on the mainland of Great Britain is supposed to represent its rental value on the 1st April 2008. Marinas do not let in the open market and as I explained in an article in the last edition of Fore & Aft are assessed using what is called the Receipts and Expenditure (R&E) approach to valuation. Rates are a tax on the improved value of property. The tax is payable with no regard to the use or non-use of services provided by local councils. The owners of advertising hoardings pay rates but consume very little in the way of council services. Properly prepared an R&E valuation should take into account expenditure on road repairs, lighting etc. The increase in assessment you are facing is not out of line with that for many other marinas in Scotland, England and Wales. These figures are a matter of public record and can be accessed in Scotland at www.saa.gov.uk and in England and Wales at www.voa.gov.uk.

I can confirm that if you are purchasing Red Diesel for your private use, then the VAT rate you should be charged from your supplier is 5%. This is, as you say, because the inland revenue considers the supply of a volume of fuel of less than 2,300 litres to be for domestic use and subject to a reduced rate of VAT at 5%. However, if you are being supplied with fuel to sell on in a commercial capacity, then you should be charged the 17.5% standard rate of VAT (Although this will rise to 20% in the new year). Of course, you should also claim this VAT back if you are selling the fuel in a commercial capacity as part of your business! The 5% figure given in the last Fore and Aft refers to the level of VAT you should be charging your customers, assuming they do not purchase volumes of fuel in excess of 2,300 litres. This is true of the entire volume of fuel supplied and does not depend on the derogation granted on excise duty for this fuel (5% VAT is applicable on the fuel regardless of whether it is used for heating or propulsion).

New Civil Society for Inland Waterways

Summer Visit July 14th 2011

I am delighted to announce that plans are well underway for next year’s summer visit when we will be visiting Weymouth & Portland, host to the 2012 Sailing Olympics. An interesting day’s visits have been arranged and more information will follow in March’s edition of Fore & Aft.

LA Marine

Congratulations to LA Marine who are proud to celebrate 10 years of successful business in October 2010. Lester Aldridge recruited three experienced Shipping Lawyers to work in the firm’s newly opened offices in Southampton in October 2000 and the firm has grown from strength to strength.

In a recent statement, DEFRA Minister, Richard Benyon MP, outlined the Government’s plans for the mutualisation of British Waterways involving the possible inclusion of the Environment Agency navigations into a single ‘civil society’ organisation, while also calling a halt to the recently published Waterways for Everyone Strategy. This significant ambition calls for one of the most radical changes to the governance of our waterways in their history. The BMF is eager to seize upon this opportunity to place our canals and navigable rivers on a sustainable footing for many years to come, and create the right conditions for the continuation of a thriving inland marine economy. The BMF are working with stakeholders throughout the industry including TYHA to ensure that the industries priorities are understood in this critical development, the intention is to have a new organisation in place by April 2012.

Greencastle Breakwater Halted

Due to public spending cutbacks the breakwater extension to Greencastle at the entrance to Lough Foyle in Northern Ireland has been halted.

Weymouth Bay Coastal Access Proposals

Natural England issued its first draft coastal access report for a stretch of the English coast between Portland and Lulworth Cove in Dorset. The draft report describes in detail how Natural England propose to align the English coastal route (path) and coastal margin (spreading room) and improve public access along this particular stretch of coast. These proposals arise from Natural England’s statutory duty under Part 9 of The Marine and Coastal Access (MCA) Act 2009 to improve public access to the English coast. A public consultation on the contents of the draft report will now run from 15 October 2010 to 10 January 2011, and anyone is welcome to submit their views. Natural England’s draft report, together with further information on how you can comment on the draft proposals, can be viewed or downloaded from www.defra.gov.uk.

The Yacht Harbour Association hosted a very popular forum for inland marinas on Tuesday 13th July 2010 at Trinity Marina, Hinckley. This was an opportunity for TYHA to update members with information from British Waterways and to discuss relevant inland marina sector issues. Issues discussed include, Diesel legislation, Rateable value of marinas, Gold Anchor Award Scheme, British Waterways policy and developments. The group voted that this meeting should run every 6 months and so the next one will be on the 2nd March 2011. Trinity marinas (Leicestershire) have offered to host this meeting again in their private training room.

Navigating the sea of social media When many of us hear ‘social media’ it starts a mild sense of panic. Let’s demystify it. It’s all about sharing thoughts, information and data across the web. Lots of marketers will talk about social media marketing strategy and why your business needs to take advantage of it. Social media, networks and the tools behind them are a fantastic way to promote your business and drive sales. Choosing the right combination is vital. It is using the right tool for the right job…

Ten Alps Vision’s 7 tips for using social media to grow your business: 1. Name branding

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter allow you to be where your customers are and reach a huge number of potential clients. If you want to appear to be in-step with digital marketing, potential customers will want to see you on these sites. Social networks can show you as an expert in your field. People buy into you before they buy what you have to sell.

2. Great for SEO

It’s all about content. Search engines like Google trawl for information to increase indexing and ranking posts. Social media sites are great fishing grounds. YouTube videos are optimised for indexing by the major search engines. Also, profiles rich with keywords, e.g. on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, often rank highly with major search engines.

3. It’s a connection

Social media is a great way to capture data.Valuable data is essential to drive sales. Social network sites are a targeted way to 1 2 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

reach and communicate with potential customers. By creating an engaging and relevant profile for your targeted audience, it will attract people in your niche. Social media allows you to directly engage consumers in dialogue. It is a powerful marketing and sales tool.

4. Site traffic generation

Keeping content up to date can seem too much to handle.Tools such as HootSuite allow content to be posted once but recut to be used on different networks. Social media effectively reuses and reposes content. Regularly updating sites and linking them back to your site will generate traffic. It’s taking great content and making it spread.

5. Cost, what cost?

– one will be right for your business. It is changing the way businesses share information. There is value in transparency. It is a cost effective way to build knowledge for your business – that can only be a good thing.

7. The next thing

Social media is moving to be part of the mobile generation. Social interaction is going to be in the palm of your hand on your Blackberry or iPhone.

Not using a planned and integrated digital strategy will impede the progress of your business. Social media should be part of an integrated marketing strategy.

Social network sites are cheap marketing for your business. However make sure the quality of the content and branding fits with everything else you are doing.

6. A problem shared…

Social media sites are great places to update your skills. Got a problem; then throw it open to a forum. You’ll get a range of answers

Why is the rating valuation of marina’s so complicated? explained in the last edition of "Fore & Aft" why the assessment of marinas for rating purposes was a complex business and I recommended that a marina operator who was unhappy with his assessment should consult a Chartered Surveyor with experience of dealing with the valuation of marinas for rating purposes. In this edition I will explain when and how you can appeal against your assessment. The rules to which I refer relate to properties in England and Wales.The law and practice of rating in Scotland and Northern Ireland is different and marina occupiers in those countries should take advice. A ratepayer or a surveyor acting on his behalf can appeal against the assessment entered in the Rating List for a marina as at the 1st April 2010 at any time up to 31st March 2015. He can also appeal against an alteration to his assessment made by the Valuation Officer (VO) at any time up to the same date. If the VO alters the list towards the end of March 2015 or indeed during the year to 31st March 2016, the ratepayer has

1 6 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

the right to appeal within six months of the VO's notice. The right of appeal is not restricted to the ratepayer but extends to anyone with a legal interest in the property other than a mortgagee not in possession. Marinas in England and Wales are currently valued at their rental value on 1st April 2008 but taking their physical state, and that of the environment or location in which they are located as at 1st April 2010. Rating legislation only allows appeals against assessments to be made between revaluations for a change of one of six grounds. All of which are primarily of a physical rather than economic or legal nature. An appellant must be able to show that the change on which he is basing his appeal falls within one of these grounds and that had this change been manifest on 1st April 2008 the rental value of the marina would have been lower. It is important to understand that an appeal can only be made once on any of these grounds, although a further appeal or appeals may be lodged by other parties with a legal interest in the property.

Four of the six grounds on which appeals can be lodged might apply to a marina; however I will set out all six grounds for the sake of completeness. I have simplified the detailed grounds set out in Local Government Finance Act 1988 Schedule 6. A marina operator contemplating an appeal should take advice. A marina operator can appeal when any of the following changes occur: • Where there has been a change in matters affecting the physical state or physical enjoyment of the property. An appeal on these grounds could include part of the marina being re-configured. It is possible to obtain a temporary reduction in an assessment whilst part of the marina is incapable of occupation because it is in the hands of contractors. It may also be possible to obtain a reduction because part of the hard standing on which boats would otherwise be parked cannot be used because the spray painting process being used to redecorate a building

adjoining the hard standing makes the use of the land for boat storage impossible. • Following a change in the mode or category of occupation at the marina.. An example of a successful appeal on these grounds might be a marina which constructs a new chandlery shop but on a separate site and subject to a separate assessment. The former chandlery shop is now obsolete. It must be included in the valuation either at a reduced value or at nil. The next two grounds are unlikely to apply to a marina. They are; • A change in the quantity of minerals extracted from the property, or • A change in the quantity of waste deposited in or on the marina. • Following a change in the physical locality of the hereditament. An example of this would be some major obstruction preventing access to an inland marina. Perhaps a bridge, lock or canal bank failure. This needs to be

When and how might I appeal against the assessment of my marina? Copyright Charles Partridge October 2010

distinguished from canal and lock closures which are in the nature of work in the normal repair cycle. The Environment Agency's winter work on Thames locks resulting in planned winter closures do not in my opinion qualify for a reduced assessment. • Finally an appeal can be lodged because of a change in the use or occupation of other property in the locality. I define the locality as the area in which the business operates. Thus for a butcher’s shop it could be the local parade; for a superstore it might be the town; whilst for marina it is the immediate coastal area or canal and river network. The regulations also allow an appeal if part of a hereditament (unit of property for rating purposes) is exempt from Non-Domestic Rates. The most likely exemption to affect a marina operator arises where some of the moorings on the marina are assessed to Council Tax since domestic property is exempt from Non-Domestic Rates.

Having decided to appeal, a marina operator needs to know how an appeal is lodged.The process is simple. The operator only needs a telephone and a pen. He should call his local Valuation Office and ask for a "Proposal form". He must complete this and return it to the local VO. I would advise that he makes or takes a copy. Alternatively he can appeal using the VOA's website www.voa.gov.uk. The advantage of using the website is that it will lead the marina operator through the appeal procedure.The VO will issue a receipt and in due course invite the marina operator to discuss the appeal. If agreement cannot be reached a hearing will be set down by the Valuation Tribunal England. I repeat that rating law and practice when applied to a marina is not simple, neither is the valuation process. Whilst a marina operator can conduct his own appeal, he only has one opportunity and if he is unsuccessful he forfeits the opportunity of asking a Chartered Surveyor to review the matter.

(plastic or metal). All four work in the same way and can be installed on just about any shape or size of tank. The Gobius kit contains three self adhesive sensors which are easily stuck onto the outside of the tank. These are then connected via a control unit to a simple display with coloured lamps which read empty, ¼, ½ and ¾. Cables and connections are supplied with the kit.

Picture shows a set of Gobius Tank Contents Measurement sensors fitted to a stainless and a plastic tank and a Gobius 4 level indicator panel.

Easily fitted with self-adhesiv e pads By simply pressing a button for a few seconds a built-in self calibration process, which takes account of wall thickness and tank size, is activated and then the gauge is ready to use. The system works by sending vibrations through the tank and measuring the response from them. The control unit then calculates if the fluid level has passed that particular sensor and reports back accordingly via the control panel. Battery consumption is less than 40mA since the power is transmitted to the sensors in pulses rather than in a continuous stream. Now, at last, by attaching three self adhesive sensors and connecting a few wires, it is possible to monitor the contents of just about any tank on board.

Government Plans for New Inland Waterways Organisation

he British Marine Federation, as the representative body of the leisure marine industry, supports the concept of British Waterways transforming into a civil society organisation and accepts that the Environment Agency’s navigations could be included to form one single navigation management body. We understand that the Government is committed to reducing the financial burden on HM Treasury and we believe that this model can ensure that the vital service and maintenance responsibilities, currently undertaken by the navigation authorities, are retained at a sustainable level. However, we also believe that the following conditions must be met in order for such an organisation to be successful.

New Organisation A ‘Civil Society’ organisation, by its very nature, will differ substantially from the current administration of British Waterways. Therefore, we believe that any new national waterways organisation must be completely renewed; with a management and governance structure that reflects its new culture and objectives. We are of the strong belief that a simple rebranding exercise of existing organisations will fail to provide the 2 0 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

cultural change necessary to deliver on the potential that third sector status promises.

Navigation is the Primary role Since the 1960’s and the implementation of the Transport Act, the primary purpose of canals and inland waterways has been to facilitate recreation. Waterside businesses are totally dependent on the navigation authorities to maintain the environment in which their businesses exist. If a waterway is closed to navigation it immediately affects the viability of their business. It is important to appreciate that while the Environment Agency, and its rivers, are more susceptible to flooding, British Waterways and its canals are equally exposed to drought. A rise in water levels can prevent navigation under bridges, while fast moving water is a hazard to navigation. Equally, low water levels on under-dredged navigation channels increase the risk of running aground. A unified organisation will need to ensure a balanced approach to water management is implemented. While we are eager to help any new organisation realise the broader socio-economic benefits that the waterways provide, its first objective should be to maintain and, where possible, expand the

existing network of canals and rivers for navigation. Examples of this include appropriate levels of dredging, sufficient manning of locks and the sustainable management of over-growing vegetation. In order to realise the broader socio-economic benefits of the waterways, the BMF believes that there should be an appreciation for the fact that while boating and fishing licenses account for the majority of funding derived from users, many others benefit. The sustainable transport corridors and areas for relaxation that waterways provide to the broader public remain largely unfunded by local authorities. The BMF believes that the funding provided to any new organisation should be sourced from those stakeholders that derive a benefit from their assets, including local authorities.

Appropriate Levels of Service The industry will expect the new civil society organisation to be conscious of its responsibilities to the trade and their customers through the provision of an appropriate level of service. With the rising importance of issues regarding continuous cruising and residential boating, it is crucial that this body is furnished with the appropriate enforcement powers

and the will to use them. Equally it must take account of, and work to promote, those businesses that operate on the waterways it manages. It should be noted that the many hire-boat and tourism related business that operate on the waterways rely upon their appeal to maintain a sustainable business model. As a tourism asset, it is of central importance that the new body appreciates that the level of maintenance and beautification of inland waterways has a direct relationship with the prosperity of our members.

Governance As a business sector that relies upon the waterways to operate, our members will require representation at every level of the organisation in order to ensure that their interests are appropriately considered. Such a requirement is underpinned by the significant financial contribution our members make to navigation authorities through licensing and rent.

Financially viable The BMF is committed to ensuring a sustainable future for our members who operate on inland waterways. A move to the third sector provides new ways for a navigation body to reduce its cost base, through volunteering, while

deriving new sources of funding from charitable donations. Despite this, it is likely that a reduced grantin-aid from Government will result in financial pressure on any new organisation. The BMF would like to gather more detailed information about the funding model in order to ensure it is robust and incorporates sufficient reserves and safeguards. Due to the legal obligations of charitable trustees, the new organisation is liable to closure should its financial status deteriorate. The BMF is keen to see a contract with Government that will retain ultimate responsibility for the waterways, should any new organisation collapse due to funding difficulties.

BMF Statement on the Spending Review

ollowing the announcement of the abolition of Regional Development Agencies, the coalition Government has recently issued the finding of the Comprehensive Spending Review. The British Marine Federation believes that the Government must ensure the future of our waterways for users, and those businesses that depend on them, and welcomes guaranteed support for small businesses and increased commitment to the export market.

The key announcements in the Chancellor’s statement include: • The abolition of British Waterways as a public corporation in England and Wales to create a new waterways charity • Measures to leverage significant equity investment and guaranteed lending to small businesses • Commitment to support export and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Rob Stevens, Chief Executive of the BMF, commented: Abolition of British Waterways “The BMF supports Defra’s decision to turn British Waterways into a new waterways charity in England and Wales, but this must take into account the needs of all who use waterways across the UK, in

particular those companies who are wholly dependent on the navigation bodies to maintain the required environment in which their businesses operate. The transition must be handled as smoothly as possible, and ensure that safety is paramount. “We already have a close and constructive working relationship with British Waterways and we will continue to work together, going forward to ensure that the prime objective of this new waterways management organisation is to maintain the existing network of canals and rivers in a navigable condition. “In order to realise the broader socio-economic benefits of the waterways, the BMF believes that there should be an appreciation for the fact that while boating and fishing licenses account for the majority of funding derived from users, many others benefit. “Therefore the BMF believes that the funding provided to any new organisation should be sourced from all stakeholders that derive a benefit from their assets.”

small fraction of what is required to support small businesses and manufacturing across the UK. Growth and increased global market share is critical to the success of the industry and it remains vital that the Government continues to encourage high street banks to lend. “Over the next few days we will be looking in detail at the measures announced in the Spending Review to assess what affect they will have on our members. But any measure which helps to provide access to financial support and grow our members’ businesses is very welcome.” Commitment to exports and UKTI “The BMF welcomes the Foreign Office’s commitment to increase its focus on championing British companies to win export business, working closely with UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) to increase business links. “The BMF has an excellent track record with helping members exploit export opportunities and we will continue our very close working relationship with UKTI, in this new environment, to ensure the best outcomes for members and the UK leisure and small commercial marine industry in general.” Article by: Chris Ford - BMF Policy Executive

SAVE MONEY by Reducing your Water Usage

here is currently no legal duty to conserve water but it does make sound financial and environmental sense not to waste it particularly when you consider that we pay for water twice; for the supply of clean drinkable water and for the removal of waste water.Demand for water is growing and in some parts of the UK supplies are under increasing pressure. In 2007/2008, the UK water treatment industry emitted five million tonnes of greenhouse gases (EA - Limiting Climate Change).

Reducing your water use needn’t be difficult. Here are some top tips from The Green Blue.

1. Conduct a site walk-round to identify where and how water is being used. This, combined with meter readings, will highlight any maintenance issues which may be costing you money. 2. Monitor water bills so that you have some idea of average water use for your business over the year. Water use may increase at certain times with boat washdown and visitor numbers. By monitoring meters and bills you’ll be able to see if there are any unexplainable increases in usage which could also indicate a water leak. 3. Regularly monitor all devices which use water at your facility to see if they are working correctly and efficiently.

Case Study Parkstone Yacht Club Marina, Poole, Dorset. 200 berths

Before Reducing Water Usage • Water costs, £30 per day, £10k per annum • Hoses left running in the marina

• Next the club installed 20 durable brass hose nozzles in the boat wash-down area and on the pontoons costing £100 and 2 hours’ work.

Outcomes

• Water bills had been increasing • Desire to be more environmentally friendly • Twice daily meter readings were taken over a period of 2 weeks • Meter readings were compared with the same period in the previous year and discovered that water usage had roughly doubled • All water equipment was monitored. Toilets, Urinals, Showers, Kitchen, Bar, Hoses • The results showed a faulty urinal sensor was emptying the 15ltr cistern every 2 minutes, using 21cubic metres water, equivalent to of £5000 per year. The sensor was repaired and now uses less than 1 cubic metre per day. • Extra meters were installed and monitored in the clubhouse, marina and yard

2 4 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

• With the money that has been saved, the club is now looking into rain water harvesting systems for boat wash-down and replacing shower heads and taps with aerating ones which reduce water consumption.

Reasons to Reduce Water Usage

How did they do it?

What’s next?

• Water bill was reduced by 70% • Approximate saving of £7k per annum • Extra meters revealed the club had been paying for removal of waste water from the yard and marina. Subsequently refunds of thousands pounds for previous inaccurate bills have been received. One £400 meter paid for itself within 3 months. • Monitoring diagnosed 2 freezing damaged burst pipes within hours of their occurring, which could have gone undetected for weeks? • Nozzles were well received by berth holders as water pressure increased and were well designed.

The most striking effect of the hose nozzle campaign has been the phenomenal satisfaction of the dinghy sailors and berth holders. They love the increased water pressure as other taps in the system are not left running. The upside for the club is that the nozzles pay for themselves within 5 hours of use.

Marine Conservation Zones Food and Rural Affairs, (Defra) by October 2011, with a view to achieving designation in 2012.

he deadline for contributions to the English Marine Conservation Zone Projects ‘interactive map’ was extended to the end of October 2010. But what happens next and what is the potential impact on boating? Caroline Price, RYA Planning and Environmental Advisor explains. What’s happened so far. To date, each of the Regional Project teams has worked with Regional Stakeholder Groups (RSGs) in order to: • Gather data on the marine environment (leisure and other socio-economic activities, marine wildlife, notable habitats and geological features); • Gather data about which areas of sea are important to people; • Create a regional stakeholder group that will use all the data. What are Regional Stakeholder Groups? The RSGs have responsibility for developing recommendations on the location and proposed conservation objectives of Marine Conservations Zones MCZs. In each region, sea users and interest groups including fisherman, recreational users, commercial shipping, and conservationists are 2 6 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

represented on a stakeholder group, thereby ensuring that socioeconomic interests are considered in the process.The RSGs are supported by local steering groups who feed in local knowledge and information. The RYA has representatives on all the English RSGs, and RYA Scotland and the Welsh Yachting Association are engaging directly with the Marine Protected Area (MPA) process in their respective countries; Northern Ireland has yet to pass the relevant legislation needed to progress MPA identification and RYA Northern Ireland is watching this development closely. What will the Regional Stakeholder Groups do? • Submit draft recommendations to an independent Science Advisory Panel which will provide advice and guidance. • Prepare an Impact Assessment that will set out the anticipated costs and benefits of the proposed network of sites and identify the environmental, social and economic implications. • Submit their final recommendations and their Impact Assessments to Natural England and Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) by June 2011. Natural England and JNCC will submit the final recommended list to the Department for Environment,

What will Government do? Ministers will consider the proposals and advice from Natural England and JNCC and make a decision on which sites should be subject to a formal public consultation process. After considering any public responses, Ministers will designate MCZs where evidence shows it is desirable to do so. What is the potential impact on boating? At this stage it is difficult to say what the potential impact may be on boating. A lot will depend upon what, if any, management measures are applied to a MCZ. Management measures will be decided on a zone-by-zone basis and will depend on what the MCZ has been designated for. Not all zones will need the same management measures and there is no overall presumption that any specific type of activity will be restricted. So, in a similar manner to protected areas on land, we could see certain activities, such as anchoring, restricted perhaps to certain times of the year, or banned outright or we may not. The RYA is working not only with the RSGs but also the National Stakeholder Forum to ensure that any potential restrictions to recreational boating activity are kept to a minimum and to encourage voluntary management measures wherever possible.

The Indian Marine Federation (IMF) is the newest addition to the ICOMIA family

estimating the economic significance of recreational boating in countries served by ICOMIA members. Together with its worldwide membership, ICOMIA has also played a key role in the development of technical standards through significant financial support and by ensuring that the necessary experts are available. The British Marine Federation (BMF) is a full ICOMIA member. BMF’s Chief Executive Rob Stevens stresses the importance of having an international collaboration in the recreational marine industry:

ICOMIA

Words by: Maria Anckarsvard Icomia Communications Manager Picture of Mumbai Harbour

“Our industry should have no borders. It is in all of our interest to remove any barriers to entry such as the inability to use the shoreline and over regulation preventing people becoming involved. By combining our expertise [in ICOMIA’s committees] we find ways of solving these problems.”

He adds: “By being an international association, ICOMIA is also able to lobby with an international status. Therefore it can cut through boundaries by not having any nationalistic agendas or being biased in its approach. ICOMIA has the industry’s agenda, so it is in everybody’s interest to be a member.” ICOMIA Secretary General Tony Rice believes the accomplishments of ICOMIA also largely depend on the organisational democracy within the association. “In my view and according to my years of experience working in the international field, associations such as ICOMIA can only operate on the basis of consensus. No one can be made to do anything and everyone has an equal voice. That is what I think has been a great strength of ICOMIA throughout the years.”

fter welcoming its 30th full member earlier this year, the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) today has the largest membership in the 43 year long history of the association.

“There has been a steady increase of new members over the past ten years,” Says ICOMIA Secretary General Tony Rice. “I am delighted to say that our membership today is stronger and truly global.” The Indian Marine Federation (IMF) is the newest addition to the ICOMIA family. They joined in January of this year and have been working closely with the ICOMIA secretariat over the past 10 months.

ICOMIA offers two kinds of memberships: Full and sustaining. Whereas the full memberships solely are for marine industry associations, the sustaining membership is offered to companies, organisations and publications within the marine industry. Would you like to find out more about becoming a member of ICOMIA? Get in touch with us by going to our website at www.icomia.org and clicking on “Contact Us”.

During the four decades that ICOMIA has been the focal point of the global recreational marine industry, the association has worked towards improving the global trade market and removing unnecessary regulations together with its members. Important issues are discussed and substantial decisions are made in ICOMIA’s different committees such as the Environmental, Technical and Statistics Committees. The vast majority of the committee members are members of ICOMIA. The committees get together several times per year to address specific challenges and issues facing the industry. An example of this is the Economic Benefit Questionnaire Template, which was an output of the ICOMIA Statistics Committee and Michigan State University. The purpose of the project was to assess the current state of boating information available for

Annual Statistics from ICOMIA The latest annual statistics book from ICOMIA (International Council of Marine Industry Associations) is now available, providing the recreational marine industry with the only reliable global boating statistics on the market. The newest edition of ICOMIA’s statistics book represents information from 23 major marine leisure markets in the world, estimated to represent over 90% of the global business in the sector. Data has been collated in standard format for ease of crossreference and comparison. Also included are specific detailed national reports from 23 countries, trade data for 35 countries, Super

Karpaz Gate Marina, the first-ever luxury yacht marina in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), is progressing well and due for completion, on schedule, in May 2011.The owners are celebrating their progress by offering a limited number of trial berths, free of charge, for periods of up to one year. During the summer, significant progress has been made on the development, which will offer berths for 300 yachts, including 16 for superyachts up to 65m in length.The main and secondary breakwaters, which have been designed to ensure a sheltered harbour for yachts needing either a home port or visiting berth in the eastern Mediterranean, are now both complete. The main breakwater extends 650m west while the secondary breakwater reaches 150m north 3 0 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

from the coast. The breakwater design has been optimised to ensure easy, safe and comfortable manoeuvring within the marina and that the correct angles for mooring to the prevailing wind are achieved. Additional advances have been made with the completion of the backfill of the land in the 18,000sqm dry dock, and the commencement of work on the marina buildings. Also the building work for the casino, which is to be the region’s first, is now complete up to the second floor. The placing of a contract with a pontoon supplier is also imminent. Sea-Alliance Group (SAG) Ltd, which is the appointed marina management company, is a maritime services operation specialising in marina developments. Roy Klajman, Managing Director of SAG, said:

“It is a very exciting time for the construction and management team as the development continues to progress well with the opening next year very much on schedule. It’s fantastic to see the marina evolving and the core elements in place. He continued: “Once the marina is completed, visiting superyacht and megayacht owners will have access to the largest and best possible maintenance facilities in the eastern Mediterranean as well as a lively commercial promenade, complete with chandlery, bars and restaurants. We anticipate that this will be a big draw for visitors.” To apply for one of the free berths, valid for periods of up to one year from May 2011, or for further information on the marina, please visit www.karpazbay.com.

PONTOON DECKING

ICOMIA World Marina Conference The 7th ICOMIA World Marina Conference (WMC2011) will be hosted in Singapore from 10th-12th May 2011. ICOMIA, the International Council of Marine Industry Associations, is the umbrella organisation that represents the recreational marine industry worldwide. TYHA is represented on the ICOMIA Marinas Committee (IMC), the steering group for the event. WMC2011 in Singapore marks a new milestone for the conference â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is the first time the conference is coming to Asia, putting Asia and the Middle East on the world marina map.There is much interest internationally in the emerging boating markets, especially at a time when growth in the mature boating markets has slowed. In China alone, some 100 marinas are planned, while South Korea has as many sites identified. India is on the cusp of marina development, with the major boating brands already represented by dealers and jostling for market share.With indigenous expertise 3 2 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

limited, there is need for knowhow to be imported. Since marina infrastructure and their management are key components of the value chain delivering boating enjoyment to the consumer, ICOMIA is keen to see that marinas are built right and managed professionally, as this lays the foundation for future growth and customer retention. Singapore is a leading Asian conference hub, and bringing the conference to Singapore will make it more convenient for Asian participants to attend. It is a watershed occasion that marina operators and developers interested in developing markets will not want to miss. Published data on developing markets is hard to come by and even then not always accurate.The conference will start with an opening plenary session, and break into two tracks. One track will major on marina management and operations, which has been the mainstay of past WMC conferences. The second track will focus on

marina infrastructure and development issues, and is the track likely to interest marina developers, engineers, planners.The third day is taken up by a field trip to Singapore marinas where delegates will get a visual feel of the market. Sponsors will have the opportunity to take up booth space in an exhibit area adjacent to the conference. Started by ICOMIA in 1993 with the inaugural conference in Amsterdam, this triennial conference series has since been hosted by Genoa (Italy), Fort Lauderdale (USA), Sydney, San Diego and Oostende (Belgium). It is the largest international gathering of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marina industry professionals, and is a platform for continuing education, outreach to the marina business community, and an opportunity to network with industry peers.

Expansion of Maltese Marina

ollowing customer requests for superyacht berths, Camper & Nicholson Marinas (CNM) has designed a €5m expansion of its Grand Harbour Marina in Malta. The project involves the revamping of the two largest berths at the marina to create four new ones capable of accommodating yachts from 110m-135m (361ft-443ft). The extension is fully designed and once planning permission is obtained the work will take eight months.The outlook from the berths across Grand Harbour and Valletta, a World Heritage site, is said by CNM to be unsurpassed. The extension will provide four stern-to-stern berths on a fixed private quay based on a 9m (30ft)-

Puteri Harbour - Johor Malaysia

Puteri Harbour is part of a new township, Nusajaya, located in Johor, Malaysia, just across the border from Singapore. Nusajaya in turn in part of a larger regional development cluster known as Iskandar Malaysia that is 2.5 times the size of Singapore and consisting of several townships. Puteri Harbour is ideally situated to cater to the Singapore market. Its location is less than a half hour drive from the customs and immigration checkpoint between the Singapore and Malaysia. At present, only the public marina is

completed.This 76 berth marina is the first piece of a puzzle that will eventually comprise a marina precinct with three marinas - the public marina that is operating, a private membership-based marina, and a superyacht marina.When fully developed, the precinct will include a yacht club, residential and commercial areas, hotel and exhibition hall. The public marina is located in a well protected man made lagoon. It has 76 berths and 10 swing moorings. Berth sizes range from 15m to 60m.The pontoon system is

As the marina precinct is under development, activity in the immediate vicinity is limited. A free shuttle service is provided twice weekly to a nearby shopping area. The Puteri Harbour facilities and physical infrastructure are of a Five Gold Anchor Standard.When fully developed, the locality will come alive with more activity and buzz. In the meantime, management is working to standardise operational procedures and with training this will cascade down to ground staff. The property has meanwhile been rated Four Gold Anchor while development progresses and management gets up to speed.

A marina accreditation program Gold Anchor Award Scheme, categorising marinas to help yachtsmen make an informed berthing decision

The Gold Anchor Award Scheme was first established by The Yacht Harbour Association in 1994 when marina managers wanted an industry standard against which they could be measured. Since then the scheme has grown and become a means of differentiating marinas which operate to different standards. Today over 100 British Marinas participate and the scheme is operating in countries all over the world. Marinas and Yacht Clubs are rated under a set of common quality standards agreed by The Yacht Harbour Association, the RYA and the Reeds Nautical Almanac. The common standards make types of marina easy to understand and give you confidence that establishments can meet the standards you require.

Participating marinas and vacant berths can be found at www.berthsearch.com or in the Reeds Nautical Almanac - from 2012 edition

Navis Engineering

Ark Floor Defence Limited

launches the new JP4000 joystick control system…

Ark Floor Defence Ltd has been developing a flood defence product using rubber crumb/shred obtained from scrap tyres. It is then mixed with an unique bonding agent that is a world first and only available to them. Working closely with Bradford University and two global companies, Geocel and Tensar as well as the Environment Agency, they ensure that they are delivering the very best product.

Navis Engineering (Finland) has announced the launch of the new generation of its JP4000 joystick control system for mega-yachts, which the company will present at METS 2010. The JP4000 combines the joystick control functionality with a DNV-approved autopilot AP4000 within one system. The joystick control mode, limited by the speed of 5 knots, allows the captain to easily control in different ways the yacht’s position and heading using a 3-axis joystick instead of conventional propulsion control units.This functionality is essential for docking or precise low-speed manoeuvring in marinas or limited water areas.The ‘Hold Position’ functionality, also a joystick control mode, is supplied as an option, and, if engaged, turns the JP4000 into a non-Class dynamic positioning system. When underway in the open sea, the yacht’s heading will be controlled by the new AP4000 autopilot, which, as mentioned

4 4 FO RE & A F T D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0

previously, is part of the JP4000. The AP4000, besides standard heading control modes, now features the ‘Wind Vane’ mode, specially designed for sailing mega-yachts.This mode provides the capability of sailing by a relative wind angle. The control panel has undergone a substantial redesign. Compared to the previous generation, the JP4000’s front panel now sports a 6.5-inch high contrast colour display with the 150º viewing angle.The IP67 level of protection makes the JP4000 suitable for outdoor installations. The graphic user interface has also been re-designed to make it easier to read and operate. The JP4000 can be installed onboard any mega-yacht having one of nine basic propulsion layouts, the main provision being the ability to provide side thrust by means of a bow/stern thruster/azipod.

Atollvic Shipyard the superyacht construction and refit specialist based in Vigo, Spain, has partnered with Cognit Design, the design and engineering branch of the Totalmar Group on the design of an innovative new 30 metre sloop. ‘Anegada Cay’, which features a number of technical innovations, is an advanced vessel which maximises speed and performance while retaining a traditional appearance. This is the first time that Atollvic, an expert in custom sail and motor yachts in steel and aluminium, has partnered with the Totalmar Group, and both parties are enthused by the result. When commissioned, the sloop will be built by Atollvic at its shipyard in Vigo. The Anegada Cay’s structural design has been carefully considered and the interior arrangements and equipment needed by the owner incorporated into early designs. With all this information to hand, the designers could then ensure that there were no surprises to come and they could concentrate on designing a yacht of exceptional performance, lightness and functionality.

As they tested and improved their product, they quickly realised that it could be used across the construction spectrum as a replacement for concrete. They are now at a stage where they are marketing flood defence and coastal erosion products so it seemed like common sense to start with harbours and marinas to protect moored boats from damage during rough weather.

Intermarine proves reinforced concrete really can float…

ntermarine, a Southampton based company specialising in the production of floating pontoons used in the construction of marinas and landings, have just announced the completion of a successful project at the Port of Scheveningen, for the Municipality of the Hague. Led by Interboat Marinas, one of its European partners based in Holland, the brief involved the construction and installation of 21 floating concrete pontoons to carefully match those already in use within the port. The project also involved piling works, traditional finger pontoons and the installation of M&E services. Intermarine provided all of the floating equipment and Interboat Marinas delivered the rest of the project. According to Erik Langrick, Project Manager from Interboat Marinas ‐ ‘We needed a robust, cost effective solution to meet our demanding requirements. Traditional pontoons were just not suitable, and this heavy‐duty concrete pontoon from Intermarine ticked all the boxes. Our client’s decision to award the contract to us was ultimately decided by the textured finish and our ability to work with Intermarine to adapt the design to meet their specifications.’ The Scheveningen project represents one of the largest overseas commissions for the Interfloat 2500, a new product from Intermarine, which combines the toughness of reinforced cast concrete with the buoyancy of polystyrene. The modular system has been designed specifically to handle heavy live loads whilst maintaining optimum stability. The units are robust, low maintenance and have a unique cast in textured finish on the deck, achieved by casting upside down in a steel mold. The design can also be modified to accommodate different freeboards and lengths. Service ducts and side channels for connection of fenders, fingers and pile guides can all be incorporated into the construction on request. What's more, each of the components can be packed inside standard Euro liner trailers for cost‐effective transportation prior to easy assembly on‐site. For Scott Gaherty, Managing Director of Intermarine, the Port of Scheveningen project represents the culmination of several years work perfecting the Interfloat product ‐ 'We're delighted with the result. I guess we've shown that reinforced concrete can float. Seriously though, I can't thank my team enough for putting the effort into creating a world‐class product to go with our other solutions already in use throughout Europe.We've worked closely with Interboat Marinas for over 10 years now and this is just one of many fantastic projects we have delivered together.'

No loud noises or bad smells Phar’O uses an electrical system that replaces the polluting diesel engines used by traditional ports that create noise and nuisance for nearby residents. Phar’O is silent and fully integrates all urban port configurations.

If only Boats had wings! At Marseillan-Plage in the Hérault department in France, the Phar’O pilot site is the only automatic dry stack in operation in the world. It was built in 2007 and since then, has been fully satisfying its users. In order to promote economic development while preserving the environment, Phar’O is offering local authorities a rapid response to the shortage of berths in respect of their social, ecological and environmental constraints. Conscious of a port’s environmental impact on land and sea, the Phar’O system offers an innovative and responsible “Sustainable Development” solution. Phar’O has been designed to adapt to its environment. Clean, it is built and operated with the following objectives in mind: No damage to the surrounding land The land on which Phar’O is built requires no development for heavy-duty vehicle traffic, no excavation, no sub-marine fixings, or any lasting disfigurement to the coastline. No excessive land occupation For an identical number of berths, Phar’O significantly limits the land use by 30 to 50% compared to a traditional dry port and up to 4 or 5 times less than that of a floating port. No planning permission If necessary, the whole installation can be dismantled and moved, leaving no trace of its presence in the area.

No marine pollution Safely and securely dry stacked, boats are no longer exposed to the harsh sea environment. No more antifouling paints, polluting cleaning products, or wastewater. Although dry ports have several benefits, they are not very aesthetic and do not easily integrate into the coastal landscape. Phar’O provides an answer to these integration issues by offering several types of facade suited to different installation locations. Thus, Phar’O can successfully and respectfully blend into its surrounding environment. Over the next 5 years, Phar’O plans to create 20 automatic dry stacks each with a capacity of 300 places, making available an additional 6,000 berths throughout the world. Official statistics state that, depending on their size, between 10 and 30 new boats in a port give rise to 1 new job in the area. Phar’O installations will thus create around 300 direct or indirect jobs (sales, operation, cleaning, tourism, maintenance).

Boats have wings Today Phar’O offers local authorities a rapid answer to the shortage of berths in respect of ecological and environmental constraints with a brand new, innovative system: • Elimination of marine pollution (no antifouling, no polluting cleaning products, no wastewater) • Elimination of noise nuisance and enhanced air quality (no diesel lifts) • Space savings with land use reduced by 30% to 50% compared to traditional dry berths The Phar’O concept Fully automated, Phar’O enables boat owners to avail of dry berths for their boats with a similar level of autonomy, availability and costs as a floating berth, in only 3 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in a convivial and secure space.

every tie-up where we could moor the boats either breasted up or singled out, loaded or empty, we were soon able to gauge to a nicety. Every twist and turn of the channel, kept open by the constant passage of boats, was recognized; to deviate from the channel was to get embedded in the pile-up of mud at the sides of the canal or on the inside of the bend.’ Later she commented, ‘There was the obvious need to be accepted by the boatpeople themselves and on their terms. Initially the boat people treated us with suspicion but once you’d

proved yourself and done a little time, they’d give a hand. I expect it helped that we were treated by outsiders as badly as they were – I always had a few lumps of coal ready for when the children threw stones or spat at us.’ In August this year, Olga fortunately appeared in a short television piece on the Idle Women in The One Show with Jean Peters and Emma Smith, aboard the Stoke Bruerne Museum’s historic Narrowboat Sculptor. In it she commented in her strong Brummy accent, which despite her good education, never left her:

about us before it was too late, in order to remember ‘You had to tie the boats in tight to the shoot. (This was the people and the efforts made. Idleness was probably at Longford, just north of Coventry) Then they something there wasn’t time for; we were very busy. wound up all the shutters and all of a sudden you had The days were 18 hours long and you just about thirty tons of nutty slack come had to keep moving.

March, 1944: ‘Olga and Elsie said they would like to go on the training boats with Daphne and they have already left.’ (Daphne French was originally one of the trainers, but was now just working a pair of boats as skipper.) And later that month after a diary entry of 20th March, ‘We caught up with Daphne at Buckby where both pairs tied at the top of the locks. It would be easier to work the four boats down between us all. Olga shared the butty cabin with Daphne, whilst Elsie enjoyed the motor cabin to herself.’ So here at least, in trying to build the picture, we know just whom for certain

Olga was boating with at that time – though who Elsie was, we almost know nothing, not even her surname. It is understandable that some of the IWs came from the gaybutch community.There was a considerable attraction for these people in dressing in dungarees and hobnails boots, with short hair, and no makeup. But bringing that love-element onto a pair of boats crewed by three women, not all necessarily of that persuasion or sympathetic to it, did cause its problems. On a lighter note there were cat-fights at Bulls Bridge, which the boatmen still remember

with mirth. But there were more serious turns. Margaret Cornish recalls, ‘Daphne had heard the rumours (of Jo with her wild accusations and rages) and she had been asked by several of the boatwomen that Jo should not be allowed to stay on the boats. An official letter from the MOT was sent to Jo but it was left to Daphne to ensure that Jo received the letter and complied with the order to leave….There were fearful scenes, she told me, and Jo had refused to leave until threatened at the office by police action. That evening she had waylaid Daphne and attacked her, ‘I think she might have

strangled me’, said Daphne, still shaken by the memory. ‘Luckily Olga heard the commotion and came to my rescue.’ She went beserk with an axe, trying to smash her way back into the cabin This incident was picked up again in 2002, when travel writer Paul Gogarty made his ‘Odyssey through England by Narrowboat’, as recorded in his wonderful canalread The Water Road: (Paul met up with Margaret and Olga at Margaret’s suggestion in the graveyard at Braunston -‘Thought it appropriate as I’ll be moving in permanently shortly.’)

‘You were rescuing Daphne at the time from Billy who was threatening to kill her,’ Margaret remembers. ‘God, yes. She went beserk with an axe, trying to smash her way back into the cabin after Daphne had told her she had to leave the boat. Billy was so strong. I wasn’t in the least surprised when she eventually got her sex changed.’ ‘Is that Jo from the book, Margaret?’ I asked. ‘Yes. I changed her name to protect her but she’s dead now.’ ‘She sounded interesting.’ ‘Anatomically interesting too,’ Olga pipes up in her flat Brummie accent. ‘She proposed to me, you know?’ Margaret says matter of factually. ‘Was that before or after she proposed to Virginnia and Daphne?’ Olga asks. Margaret doesn’t laugh. ‘She was schizophrenic and paranoid and very strong despite her gamin looks. Excellent boat woman but volatile. She once picked me straight out of the water and I wasn’t the smallest of women.’ Over lunch at the Admiral Nelson, Olga ‘underlines the wartime priorities “Finding time to eat and sleep were always the preoccupation….The overwhelming feeling was hunger and tiredness….Worst thing I recall was my botched attempt to kill a duck I caught for the pot. Bungled one murder attempt after another. Bashed it on the head, wrung its neck, tried slitting its throat. In the end I just plunged it underwater to shut it up and eventually it stopped fighting. Funny. Didn’t know a duck could drown.” Olga continued carrying after the war in Europe ended in May, 1945, and was still doing so at least until the September, 1945, when she is recorded on the Cut by Margaret

for the last time: ‘On our trip south back in early September we had met up briefly with Daphne and Olga. Daphne had told us that the gossip of the time was that Sonia was to marry George. Speculations about the union were lively and sanguine and we half envied her the superior status of mate to a real boatman! (Sonia married George Smith in 1946. In 1950 she began a relationship with author Tom Rolt, and divorced George Smith in 1951.That boatman marriage was childless.)

We began to feel that to stay on was unfair to the boat-people whose livelihood depended on a constant supply of work There is an interesting entry from Margaret, still on the Cut on the 6th December, 1945: ‘At Noble (Newbold) ‘George and Sonia tied up alongside and came round to see us. All of us piled into the butty cabin. Much talking – Sonia has great plans for the amelioration of the boatpeople’s conditions. Everyone has left already.’ … Margaret continued working with Virginia into the Spring of 1946. But ‘there were fewer and fewer orders… We began to feel that to stay on was unfair to the boat-people whose livelihood depended on a constant supply of work. As in so many other wartime jobs the women were only filling in the gaps until the men returned. So the scheme of women trainees – and we were never more than ‘trainees’ to the boatpeople – dwindled to an end and we stepped back into our predetermined roles.

There was no final celebration, or thoughts that we would ever return to the Cut. All the other crews had left, and we felt the desolation of being the last to go and now only wanted to be gone.’ Towards the very end of her book, Margaret wrote: ‘I look at letters, brown with creases, which are tucked away in the back of my 1944-5 diary. One is from Daphne back in Cork refitting her boat the Embla, and she writes that Olga was with her persuading her to join in a smuggling campaign to bring in brandy, laces and perfume from France.’ (Daphne refused and the scheme never materialized.) Daphne lived the remainder of her life in Cork and never married. Elsie felt the boats and was last heard of as an unmarried hairdresser. Margaret is still alive, now in a nursing home in Ipswich. She was briefly married and then returned for a while to live on the Cut, and wrote her book. As to our Olga, as one door closed, another opened. After her momentous war, she was awarded a government grant to study French and medieval history at the Cite University de Paris. She returned to start her own travel agency business in Birmingham. She also became attached to a motorcycle racer, Phil Heath and became interested in the sport herself, which led to a motor racing career of over twenty years, including winning, two Gold Medals on a Norton in the International Six Day Trials, one of which was in Czechoslovakia in 1953.The event were widely acknowledged as the longest and most strenuous of all motorcycle competitions. She also raced Formula 3 cars. She later listed the qualities of racing success: ‘Balance, anticipation, concentration and fearlessness.’ In 1970, aged 47, she retired to join her unmarried brother Raymond in running his pub,The Three Tuns at the village of Kings Sutton, south of Banbury and near the Oxford Canal – which canal she in fact had never worked. She remained co-publican for 22 years, they both retiring in 1992. In 1994 Mikron Theatre, the

travelling canal theatre company put on a performance of its play Imogen’s War in Kings Sutton, which Olga attended. It was based on the memoirs-various of the Idle Women – the I W initials of the play’s name being intentional. Olga was very pleased with it, and it was a fitting compliment to her that they came to perform in her old pub. In 1978 Olga famously took part in BBC’s Mastermind, in which she won her first round and narrowly missed winning the next. Her subject was Genghis Khan, with her second subject, astronomy - her great childhood love. (Years later she met the then Prime Minister Tony Blair who was fascinated by her interest in Genghis Khan. Afterwards she quipped: ‘I think he wanted tips on how to successful invade another country!’) For the remainder of her life, she was as passionate and competitive about quiz competitions as she had once been about motorcycle racing, including appearing in the TV quiz 15-1. Her pub team won the Oxford Mail Trophy and on two occasions the Northamptonshire County Competition – the village is on the border of the two counties. In her interview for the television programme The One Show in August, 2009, Olga said of her time as a wartime boatwoman, ‘It was a kind of freedom that some of us might never have known until we’d got married.’ Ironically she had remained single, although her name was romantically linked at various times to at least three or four major names in motor sports including a famous commentator. One of her quiz team, local sport expert Taffy, told the author over an appropriate pint of Spitfire at The Three Tuns, ‘There was no man whom she knew who was big enough to tame her!’ Olga remained a free spirit to her end.

Olga said of her time as a wartime boatwoman, ‘It was a kind of freedom that some of us might never have known until we’d got married.’

4 Gold Anchors for the well run Ferry Marina

5 Gold Anchors for technically excellent Lowestoft Haven Marina The Yacht Harbour Association is pleased to award Lowestoft Haven Marina Five Gold Anchors highlighting the very high standard of facilities available to the permanent berth holder and visiting yachtsman. Forming the entrance to the beautiful Norfolk Broads, the facility has been shown to benefit from substantial investment by Associated British Ports which ensures consistent services to berths, an excellent boat yard and liftout, and attention to detail with Health and

Safety and marina management. Marina Manager Sarah Hanna has said “I am very proud of the Five Gold Anchor rating, it is a recognition of my team’s hard work to take care of our berthholders and visiting yachtsmen”. ABP have included an out port as part of the marina facilities which has proven popular with visiting craft and club rallies, who do not necessarily want to be tied to bridge opening times, and also for a number of locals who use their boats more regularly than some.
