Elevate your boat and lower your costs with

“IT STARTED WITH A STORY I’M CERTAIN WE CAN ALL RELATE TO”

Boat maintenance, that time of year that almost every boater positively ‘convinces’ themselves they are ready for, eager to lift your boat out of the water and get to work on hull maintenance, jet washing off the delights that a season sat in the water presents you with, sanding off last year’s antifoul, and the bit we all love; getting to those impossible reaches to remove crustations, barnacles and the more stubborn marine growth that somehow remarkably evades the cutting force of the power wash! This is the bit that generally leaves your nostrils full of a horrid seaweed smelling powdery dusts, the mouth dry and fury, and regardless of goggles, eyes full of grit and seashell debris. It’s often not long until we find ourselves slumped in the boat yard thinking to ourselves; ‘there has to be an easier way!’

Well, this is the story of one man, like many of us, who experienced just that, in a heat of frustration, an eye bandage and no doubt a nose full of dust and debris put his sander down and decided to embark on some mechanical repairs

instead, defeated for the day by the chores of hull maintenance. Instead opting to carry out a scheduled repair on his alternator, after receiving a cut to his eye from the above-mentioned shell and barnacle debris, he was first aided, eye patched up and weary from his earlier rigors. This resulted into a minor error of electrical works that caused a fire on his boat. ‘There surely had to be an easier way.’

This man became the founder of ‘DryBerth’ boat lifts.

What if we could take all the enjoyment of boating, but lose the need for antifouling, anode replacement and the whole world ‘and cost’ of underwater annual maintenance, caused only, and in its entirety by the way we berth our boats, in the water. A simple, stress free berthing solution that meant keeping the boat out of the water, without the need of towing a trailer to the slip way or relying on tide, wind and marina staff at the local dry stack, something that gave

you complete control and the freedom to boat when you want, still allowing you to wash down and flush through to ensure proper management, ensuring maximum efficiency and speed regardless of when you last used the boat, no build up of marine growth, no heavy drag, just a nice shiny, clean hull ready to dip in the water and embark on a days adventure with friends and family at a moment’s notice, an important factor when considering our unpredictable British weather, how many of us have had our day on the water dampened or stopped entirely, on a gorgeous sunny day, because the boat is either out of the water, to fouled up or we simply didn’t have enough time to plan for that impulsive need to get out there and enjoy what it is we love about boating so much!

This desire, founded by a piece of shell deposit in one man’s eye led to searching the globe for the answer. It was being done in the Americas, a lot. Why could it work there, but not here? It could, and it would.

After sketching out initial design plans and drawings, overcoming any initial design restrictions like costing and affordability, meeting key product objectives such as the ability to carry out single handed moorings with ease, and tailoring a ‘one lift works for all boats’ model, one of which that could be made of fully recyclable, non-degradable by time materials, ensuring the use of products that could be safely used in and out of the marine environment without having a negative impact on our waters and the precious marine life and echo systems that rely on them too, the very first prototype was put into production and the rest as they say was history.

The DryBerth that we see in operation across many marinas in the UK today is a tried and trusted, cost-effective solution to all of the above. Offering both durability and reliability with its effortless operation, easy installation and low maintenance requirements.

The DryBerth does exactly what it says on the tin. Often paying for itself over the life span of your boat, reducing hull maintenance cost, boat storage or towing costs, to zero, year after year, retaining and adding to the residual value of your boat. Maximising mooring safety and reducing risk against damage without the cost of fenders, dock cushions and scrupulous amounts of dock lines. In fact, the overall offering of the DryBerth is so good that it is now in use not just across the leisure, sports boat and RIB community but also throughout the fast response and emergency marine services sector, testament to its cost saving, ease and simplicity of use and effectiveness for getting out on the water in a timely fashion and without hassle, for our emergency services this means they can promptly get on with what they need to do out on the water, for you and I this means we can get out on the water quicker, safer and above without the stress!

Slipping off your dock and returning for mooring up at the end of the day can be the most stressful times of owning a boat, shouting orders or instructions to often inexperienced guests or crew, whilst the wind and tide takes us in its merciless grip, often resulting in rushing and sometimes those ‘avoidable’ accidents, bumps and scuffs. The DryBerth allows you to load your boat full of all the days requirements, board your guests, talk through any safety instruction, get comfortable and relaxed, and all before you’re even in the water. Returning to your berth at the end of the day could be simpler, it really is as easy as ‘point and shoot’ before your safely back in.

The DryBerth, keeps boaters ‘boating without the stress’ and all the while saving you money on under water maintenance, I ask, why isn’t every boater using one?

WHY IS ROC MARINE SO GOOD?

AND WHY YOU SHOULD USE THEM!

It’s not so much a new way of thinking but trying to get back to that personal service experience that the marine industry has somehow lost along the way. DIRECTOR Richard O’Connor

Established in the summer of 2018 ROC Marine Solutions started up and never looked back. Quickly establishing a name in the industry for good old fashion hard work, high quality workmanship, going the extra mile for customers when they have needed it and of course most importantly fair pricing.

Specialist’s, highly skilled and experienced in systems engineering ROC Marines approach has sent shock waves within the marine community with ROC Marine now supporting

some of the biggest names in the industry and becoming one of the south coasts leading marine repair and retrofitting companies with out loosing that personal touch.

So how did it all start?

Richard O’Connor director started up ROC Marine after 20 years working for other companies within the marine industry. Coming to the realisation that to be able to offer the level of workmanship and personal service he wanted, the only way was to set up his own enterprise. And ROC Marine was born.

Starting from the bottom as a man and van business customers were quickly attracted to the high level of work and some would say Richards uniquely approachable personality being able to communicate easily with customers, Dealing with each customer personally and with a pinch of humour along the way where nothing was to much trouble.

Within 3 years the business had established itself as a go to company in the Solent area for thruster, gyros, windlasses, plumbing, electrical and systems engineering. This allowed Richard to open ROC HQ based at universal marina giving the thriving business a platform to push to the next level.

ROC Marine soon caught the attention of some of the biggest brand names in the industry with them approaching ROC to work together, this led to ROC being able to supply, install

INDUSTRY LEADING SERVICE…

Just one of the new businesses shaking up the established industry.

ROC Marine Solutions Limited was founded in June 2018 by Richard O’Connor following 16 years working for a leading marine refit company. During this time Richard ran numerous refit projects around the world. Giving him the experience and knowledge to start up on his own.

and support brands like QuickSpa, BlueFin LED, Eberspacher and many more.

Over the last Few years Richard has been able to put together a team that has the same work ethic and dedication to providing high levels of service. That with a select group of contractors, ROC has been able to compete with the “bigger” more well established marine companies but always remembering their personal approach to the industry.

So if your looking for any systems work ROC Marine Solutions is fast becoming the go to team on the south coast.

Rich and the team at ROC helped me with a short notice install of a bow thruster on my Mako 248. Great crafters of their trade. The job was done quickly and to a high standard. Left the boat spotless as well. Thanks team. I highly recommend Rich and the team at ROC.

Used ROC Marine to replace 6 Sea Cocks with composite ones. The job was completed to a very high standard and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. If you need a company that takes pride in its work and it competitively priced, look no further.

Thank you to ROC Marine - Rich and Mitchell for the great work you have done on our boat this week, installing Glendinning throttles and Dockmate all linked to the bow and stern JetThrusters. Fantastic quality, engineering and customer service from the nicest people you ever want to meet.

Nick Palmer

Richard and his guys spec’d up and fitted a bow thruster on my boat over the winter. Total professional, listened to my requirements and did some top quality work. Bow thruster is solid as a rock, clean install, and they treated my older boat with care and respect. Not only did they do the job I initially needed but they also went above and beyond in helping me with other issues & work I had to do with my boat. They were all genuine, helpful, forwardthinking and above all good at what they do.

THE BENEFITS OF BERTHING YOUR BOAT OUT OF THE WATER

You have a boat – perhaps it’s a RIB or speedboat, or a powerboat, or a small to medium sized cruiser or fishing boat, or maybe it’s a Jet ski – and you have a mooring (probably in a marina or harbour) and your boat stays in the water for some or all of the year but you don’t like spending money on repeatedly having it taken out, cleaned and antifouled.

Also, you don’t like the potential damage to your gelcoat by letting limpets & barnacles grow on your hull and RIB tubes or by continually having to scrape them off - and maybe your engine mounts & lift motors are constantly immersed in the water and are corroding away.

Perhaps your best solution is a modular Drive-On dock.

THE EVOLUTION OF MODULAR PLASTIC DRIVE-ON DOCKS AND PONTOONS

In recent years, the boating industry has seen a significant rise in the popularity of modular plastic drive-on docks and pontoons. These innovative structures have revolutionised the way boat owners approach docking and mooring, offering a convenient and versatile alternative to traditional fixed docks. Here we have explored the uses and unique features of modular plastic drive-on docks and pontoons, and how they have transformed the boating experience for many enthusiasts.

THE RISE OF MODULAR PLASTIC DOCKS

Gone are the days of cumbersome, heavy wooden docks that require endless maintenance and periodic replacement.

The advent of modular plastic drive-on docks has changed the game, offering a lightweight, durable, and customisable solution for boat owners. The floating dock system consists of interlocking plastic floats. These floats are usually made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or a similar durable material, which provides excellent buoyancy and stability. The modular design allows for easy customisation and configuration to suit the specific needs of boat owners, providing a stable and secure platform for your boat. Unlike traditional wood or concrete docks, plastic floats are resistant to rot, corrosion, and UV damage, ensuring they remain in pristine condition for years to come. They can withstand rough weather conditions,

fluctuating water levels, and constant use without deteriorating or requiring frequent maintenance. This makes them a costeffective investment for boat owners looking for a low-maintenance docking solution that can withstand the rigors of marine environments.

EASE OF USE AND CONVENIENCE

One of the most significant advantages of modular plastic drive-on docks is their ease of use. No longer do you need to struggle with ropes, knots, and slippery surfaces when mooring your boat. Usually, a Drive-On dock has a U-shaped channel running along the centre. These are the floats that your boat sits on when it is on the dock. The cube floats running along the side add to the flotation capacity and stability.

The rearmost U float should be lower than the rest and near the level of the water.

It is this float that the keel of your boat first makes contact with as you drive on. As you drive further on, the weight of the boat is taken up by end of the dock, which is pushed down under the water, thus forming its own ‘ramp’, allowing the boat to simply drive up onto it under power. When the boat is fully on the dock the weight is transferred along the dock

and the stern rises again. Now your hull, transom and engine mounts are safely out of the water, and you can tilt your outboard or engine leg up to hold that clear of the water too.

Simply tie on your bow line and that’s all the mooring you have to do. To drive off the dock you just untie your bow line, start your engine and apply reverse power until you simply slide off backwards.

Additionally, modular plastic driveon docks and pontoons are ideal for remote or seasonal docking locations where traditional fixed structures are not feasible. Their lightweight and portable nature makes them easy to transport and install, allowing boat owners to create temporary docking solutions in a variety of settings. Whether you are looking to set up a temporary mooring spot at a remote beach or establish a floating platform for water sports activities, modular plastic drive-on docks and pontoons offer endless possibilities.

CUSTOMISABLE DESIGN

Another unique feature of modular plastic drive-on docks and pontoons is their versatility and adaptability. The modular design allows for easy reconfiguration and expansion, allowing boat owners to tailor the layout and size of the dock to accommodate different watercraft or changing needs. You can choose the number of floats, the layout, and even add accessories such as handrails, cleats, and bumpers to suit your specific requirements. This flexibility ensures that your boat is securely moored and protected at all times. Whether you have a small fishing boat or a large yacht, modular plastic drive-on docks and pontoons can be customised to fit your vessel perfectly.

Furthermore, modular plastic drive-on docks and pontoons offer enhanced safety and convenience for boat owners. The drive-on design eliminates the need for cumbersome fenders and ropes, simplifying the docking process and reducing the risk of accidents or damage to the boat. Additionally, the non-slip

surface of the plastic floats provides a secure footing for passengers and crew, enhancing overall safety and comfort while on the water.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

In addition to their practical advantages, modular plastic drive-on docks also offer environmental benefits. Unlike wooden docks that contribute to deforestation and pollution, plastic docks are made from recycled materials or are recyclable themselves. This eco-friendly approach helps to reduce your carbon footprint and protect the marine environment, preserving the beauty of our waterways for future generations to enjoy.

With their customisable design, ease of use, and longevity, these docks provide a safe and secure platform for your boat, ensuring peace of mind and protection against the elements. So, next time you visit a marina or harbor, take a moment to appreciate the innovation and ingenuity behind these modern floating docks – they truly represent the best of modern boating technology.

Although you must find the money up front to buy your Drive-On dock, and it may seem quite chunk of your hard-earned cash, there are good reasons why it will save you time, trouble and money in the long run.

1) You will save yourself the regular expense (and/or effort) of lifting, cleaning & antifouling. And antifouling is set to become more expensive in the next few years if they bring in the environmental regulation that it can only be carried out by licensed professionals - you won’t be able to DIY anymore.

2) Your engines mounts and lift motors will be clear of the water and therefore not corroding. Corroded lift motors are very expensive to replace. On a RIB, your tubes will be out of the water too, thus preventing damaging marine growth on the underside.

3) Marine growth on your hull slows you down and uses more fuel. It is reckoned

that a clean hulled boat uses about 1015% less fuel.

4) The secondhand value of your boat will be higher as a result of being kept out of the water. It’s calculated that a boat kept out of the water can be valued at up to 20% more throughout its lifetime than a boat kept on the water. And as for boats kept on drying out moorings, the benefits of hull protection are obvious.

4a) On a RIB, you can get worn areas on your tubes where the mooring lines and fender lines continually rub. The need for wear patches and tube repairs is an ongoing problem. Keeping your boat on a drive-on dock removes this problem as you don’t need to use mooring lines or fenders whilst the boat is in your home berth.

4b) Also, there is a school of thought that antifoul can be corrosive to gelcoat over a long period of time.

VERSITILE PONTOON BUILDING

‘PIECE

BY PIECE’

5) Your dock is a valuable asset in its own right. Secondhand docks don’t come on the market very often because once bought, owners tend to hang onto them. But when they do, they tend to sell quite quickly and easily. Even five years down the line, it is expected that your dock may have a secondhand value of up to 40% of its original cost.

CREATING THE ULTIMATE CAPTAIN’S CABIN

by Kathy Carter

For boating and aqua lifestyle enthusiasts, the sea is not just a destination; it’s a way of life. Bringing that passion ashore and into your home can be an exhilarating way to keep the spirit of the ocean close, even when you’re most definitely on terra firma. One of the most personal spaces in your home, the bedroom can be the perfect canvas for transforming a living space into a welcoming, adult captain’s cabin. Don’t think of nautical interior design as being childlike; adding marine themes to a bedroom can actually create a seafaring sanctuary that feels like it fits your values, visual aesthetic and grown-up, outdoor interests. Here, we share some of our favourite design tips:

DRIFTWOOD: NATURE’S ART

Driftwood is a natural treasure that can be used in various ways to evoke the essence of the sea. Its weathered, bleached appearance can add a rustic, organic feel to your sleeping space, and has the added bonus of being free, if you source it yourself. Beachcombing for driftwood is actually a fun experience, and one that the whole family can potentially enjoy – it also

represents a great opportunity to clear the beach you’re visiting from any rubbish and debris you find nearby.

Beaches with a mix of sand and rocky areas offer a good chance of finding useful pieces, and beachcombing during low tide, especially in the early morning, is regarded as the best time for collecting driftwood.

Check your finds for signs of decay or damage to ensure stability and suitability for collection, and go prepared with gloves, and sturdy bags or even a widewheeled trolley to store your finds in. Back home, clean the wood with a stiff brush to remove any sand or debris. Then, let it dry completely, preferably away from strong direct sunlight and excessive moisture, to prevent the growth of mould.

Once dried, large pieces of driftwood can make beautiful headboards in your nautical bedroom, or can be used as a statement piece, fixed above the bed on a wall. Smaller pieces can be crafted into lamp bases, picture frames, or even curtain rods, providing a cohesive look that’s both elegant and grounded in nature and the seafaring way of life.

FISHING NETS: ADDING TEXTURE AND ATMOSPHERE

Incorporating fishing nets into your bedroom design is an excellent way to add texture and a sense of adventure. If you’re feeling very bold, drape a new fishing net casually over the headboard, or use it as an unconventional bed canopy, if you have a posted bed. Bottom-set gill nets are likely the cheapest if you want authenticity; they typically utilise a braided, synthetic rope headline with floats situated every few metres apart, which can add a fun feel to the room in small increments. Or for a more subtle approach, you could frame sections of tangle nets, and hang them as wall art. Interior design shops and online craft outlets also hold large stocks of nautical style netting, which will be even cheaper than the real thing, and perhaps less ‘obvious’ and cliché.

PORTHOLES: WINDOWS TO THE SEA

Whilst installing round, porthole-style windows in a wall with a view could instantly transport you to a real-life captain’s quarters, decorative elements are infinitely more practical! Porthole mirrors

are therefore ideal, and can be strategically placed in the bedroom to reflect light, and create the illusion of a larger space. They not only enhance the seafaring theme you’re curating, but also add a touch of sophistication. Stainless steel or brass typically look most effective, and porthole mirrors with hemp rope around the frame can look extra nautical and rustic.

BUOYS AND NAUTICAL ACCESSORIES: TYING THE THEME TOGETHER

Small details make a big difference when it comes to themed interior design. Nautical accessories like buoys, ship wheels, and anchors can be tastefully integrated into a bedroom without overwhelming the space. Just keep things balanced, and choose key items that fit the theme, rather than choosing multiple design elements that can look overwhelming and cluttered. You could for example use buoys or small floats as unique bedside lamps or as decorative elements on shelves. A replica ship’s wheel

can serve as a centrepiece on a wall, or a small replica anchor could be transformed into a functional shoe rack or objet d’art. Check out design outlets for suitable pieces – the traditional admiralty anchor design, with the two flukes attached to a central shank, will give a touch of traditional maritime authenticity. Small nods to beach finds such as pebbles, sea-glass and shells can also be used judiciously, for example around photo frames. Rope can easily be utilised for curtain tie backs.

ADDITIONAL FURNISHINGS: FROM TEXTILES TO CHAIRS

Choose textiles made from natural materials to tie in with the nautical theme; linen and jute, or materials that replicate these fabrics, are ideal. Anything subtly

wavy or with a pattern that has movement, will look the part, especially on small bedding pieces such as pillowcases, and also cushions. Wicker baskets can be used to store haircare or beauty items and are very cost effective, while rope drawpulls can add a simple maritime feel to furniture without being too over the top.

Keep furniture simple, with basic shapes and lines, and consider natural materials such as wood with brass hardware, or simple rattan. Wooden chests can look great at the foot of the bed, and are often easily sourced from coastal antiques fairs and flea-markets.

Windows should generally be dressed to allow as much light in as possible – after all, coastal houses, which you may be

emanating, tend to have large, panoramic windows that allow natural light to fill the interior and offer sea views. White walls add to the simple aesthetic.

For your flooring, you could consider a wood-floor finish (whitewashed looks very classy); perhaps with a nautical, blue striped rug. Or perhaps for more warmth and comfort, you could choose a sand coloured, deep-pile carpet. Remember, you’re aiming to ‘bring the outdoors in’, without being too cliché.

Wooden panelling ideas can transform the look of a bedroom; shiplap cladding can look very effective, adding texture and interest into a room that a plain, painted flat wall cannot. (You could even use it horizontally on slanted walls and ceilings to add interest, and the illusion of width.)

COLOUR-SCHEMES: A PALETTE OF CALM

The colour scheme in your nauticalthemed bedroom should ideally evoke your relationship with nature and the sea. Think deep navy blues, crisp whites, sandy beiges, and the occasional pop of red or yellow, reminiscent of signal flags or lighthouses. The neutral colours not only

create a calming environment, but also reinforce a coastal theme. In fact, anything that is a colour represented in nature will generally work in your maritime design, from soft pinks and corals, to marram grass-green, and sky blue hues.

PERSONAL TOUCHES – MAKING THE ROOM YOUR OWN

Creating the ultimate captain’s cabin should also be about making the room very personal to you and your family. It would be easy to create an off-the-shelf aesthetic, but consider what your personal history is with the sea, or with boating more generally. Do you have any childhood memories that you can bring into the design – a framed map of a favourite holiday destination you visited as a child, perhaps?

Or perhaps you have photos of the boats you’ve owned over the years; or family shots of loved ones enjoy the boating life? Why not create a photo wall or panel that gives the photographs pride of place?

For another neat design idea, it is easy to locate the latitude and longitude, the specific coordinates of a location, of a favourite place. Maybe the place you

sailed your first boat; a place with romantic memories with a partner; or something connected to your childhood? The Latitude and Longitude Finder at www.latlong. net has a simple search facility. By way of example, Poole in Dorset has a Latitude of 50.719391 and a Longitude of -1.981140. These coordinates could be inscribed on a piece of framed wood or onto a mirror, or painted directly onto a wall, for a big statement piece of art, and a subtle way of referencing something meaningful to you and your family.

Transforming your bedroom into a captain’s cabin is about more than just decoration; it’s about creating a space where you can escape the daily grind, and connect with your love of the sea. By carefully selecting elements that represent maritime or coastal connections, and complementing them with a soothing colour palette and nautical design features or mementos, you can create a personal retreat that celebrates your passion for all things boating and yachting. Are you ready to embark on this design voyage? If you’re lucky, every night could remind you of gentle waves lulling you into a peaceful slumber.

The British Boating Magazine Team headed over to the Parker Adams office to ask them some questions...

Where did Parker Adams start?

We started in 2019 and opened our first office in 2020 followed by the need to relocate to larger premises in 2023, What do you do that’s different?

We wanted to present boats in a different way to other brokers, we have always provided drone photography and videography on all listings as well as professionally photographing all the boats we sell. Our YouTube Channel now has over 8000 subscribers and each video of a boat we are selling will have thousands of views in the first couple of days of being launched.. such a powerful tool to bring your boat the customers.

Why & when was Parker Adams created?

We wanted to be different, we are run by boat owners and both Jonathan and Andrew have always been passionate about customer service and always going the extra mile for our customers.

Tell us about the people behind Parker Adams?

Andrew has boated all his life and put a deposit on a rib with his very first paycheck! Professionally Andrew has led Sales and Marketing teams in London but always wanted to run his own business in the marine industry and made that move in 2019 to realise this dream.

Allow us to take the pressure out of selling your boat with a complete service

Jonathan worked for Sea Start as a marine engineer for over 10 years before starting his own successful marine engineering business focusing on putting the customer first. His passion for the marine industry and putting customers first meant that when he met Andrew in 2018 very quickly the subject came onto Boat Sales and how they both felt there was a gap in the market.

What are your USPs?

As above, walkthrough tours, drone videos, professionalism and always pushing hard to put the customers at the middle of everything we do. Where is Parker Adams today?

2024 has been a slower year for boat sales but we have maintained sales at a similar level to 2023 but with over 80 boats we have the largest number of listings for a broker and as our business expands this keeps growing. It is more important than ever to make sure boats are put in front of as many people as possible using all the tools we have available such as walkthrough tours and drone

videos.

What is Parker Adams mission statement for the future?

We want to continue to grow and also move into new geographies, we have already sold boats as far afield as Spain and Lanzerote and all over the UK. We are very happy to explore opportinities in the future which might include a franchise model which we are already successfully running in the Isle of Wight.

We are looking forward to meeting our customers, old and new at the Southampton International Boat Show

WALKTHROUGH VIDEO TOURS PROVIDED FOR ALL NEW LISTINGS

The boat sales market is changing and the way people consume information has evolved. We have embraced this and now offer extensive video tours comprising of sleek drone footage and stunning professional photographs for every listing.

Since starting our walk through tours over 2.4 million people have watched our videos across the world. This gives Parker Adams a unique platform to advertise and sell your boat as well as using the channel to promote boating top tips.

An Atlantic Adventure

SAILING AROUND THE SCILLY ISLES

With summer washing out into hopes of a pleasant autumn season, it’s the perfect opportunity to set sail on the stunning archipelago at the tip of our isle – the stunning Scilly Isles. These islands are often overlooked by tourists, making them a perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful and tranquil getaway

A PARADISE IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN

Located just off the coast of Cornwall, the Scilly Isles are a cluster of over 100 islands, only five of which are inhabited. This remote archipelago is like stepping into a different world, with its crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and charming villages. The landscape here is truly one of a kind, with dramatic cliffs, lush heathlands, and vibrant gardens that paint a picture of natural beauty.

BREATHTAKING VIEWS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK

One of the first things that strike you when you arrive in the Scilly Isles is the stunning vistas that surround you. From the rugged coastlines of St. Agnes to the sandy beaches of St. Martin's, there's no shortage of awe-inspiring sights to take in.

The turquoise waters, teeming with marine life, are a paradise for snorkelers and divers, while the rocky outcrops are home to a variety of seabirds

Before you hop on a boat and set off into the open water, it's crucial to have the right equipment on hand. Here are some essentials that you'll need for your sailing holiday around the Scilly Isles:

Sailboat: Of course, the most important piece of equipment for your sailing adventure is the sailboat itself! Whether you're renting a boat or bringing your own, make sure it's in good condition and seaworthy. Inspect your boat's sails, rigging, and navigation equipment to ensure they are functioning properly. Don't forget to pack a sturdy anchor and mooring lines to secure your boat safely when exploring the pristine coves and harbors around the Scilly Isles. A set of binoculars will help you spot key landmarks and navigate safely through the crystal-clear waters.

Navigation Tools: GPS, compass, and nautical charts are essential for navigating the waters around the Scilly Isles. A VHF radio is essential for communication with other vessels and the local coastguard in case of emergencies. These tools will help

you stay on course and avoid getting lost at sea.

Safety Gear: Life jackets, first aid kits, and flares are crucial for emergencies while out on the water. Safety should always be a top priority when sailing.

Clothing: Pack plenty of layers and waterproof gear to combat the everchanging weather conditions around the Scilly Isles. You'll want to be prepared for both sunny days and sudden rain showers.

Food and Water: Stock up on nonperishable food items and plenty of drinking water for your sailing journey. You never know when you might get stranded on a remote island without access to supplies.

NAVIGATING THE WATERS AROUND THE SCILLY ISLES

The waters around the Isles can vary from calm and peaceful to rough and challenging, depending on the weather conditions so it’s important to be mindful of the unique challenges and characteristics of the area. The strong tidal currents around the islands can make navigation tricky, so it's advisable to consult tide tables and pilot guides to plan your routes

accordingly. Keep a close eye on your depth sounder and be prepared to adjust your course to avoid submerged rocks and shoals.

Unlike traditional boating, sailing around the Scilly Isles requires a high level of skill and proficiency to handle the challenging conditions and navigate safely through the narrow channels and rocky islets. Make sure you are well-versed in boat handling techniques and have a solid understanding of the local maritime regulations to avoid any mishaps during your sailing adventure. The prevailing wind around the Scilly Isles generally blows from the south-west, making it ideal for sailing. However, be prepared for sudden changes in wind direction and intensity, especially around the exposed coastlines. The waters around the Scilly Isles are dotted with rocky reefs and shoals, making navigation a bit tricky. Keep a close eye on your charts and be prepared to tack around obstacles to avoid running aground.

THE CHANGEABLE WEATHER ADDS TO THE CHARM

The weather in the Scilly Isles is famously changeable, with bright sunshine one moment and sudden showers the next.

This variability only adds to the magic of the islands, creating ever-changing landscapes that are a delight to explore. The mists that roll in from the sea lend an ethereal quality to the scenery, while the

rainbow-hued sunsets are nothing short of breathtaking. The Scilly Isles are a haven for wildlife, with seals, dolphins, and even the occasional whale making appearances in the surrounding waters. Birdwatchers

will be in their element here, with a wide variety of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills, calling the cliffs home. The islands are also a stopover for many migratory species, making them a hotspot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

KEY LANDMARKS TO VISIT

As you sail around the Scilly Isles, you'll be mesmerized by the breathtaking natural beauty and rich maritime history of the archipelago. One of the must-visit landmarks is the iconic Bishop Rock Lighthouse, perched on a rocky outcrop at the westernmost tip of the Isles. This historic lighthouse is the perfect backdrop for some stunning photos to capture your sailing adventure.

Another must-see landmark is the ancient fortress of St. Mary's Garrison, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding islands and crystal-clear waters. Explore the charming town of Hugh Town on St. Mary's Island, where you can stock up on provisions and immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions.

As the largest island of the Scilly Isles, St. Mary’s is a bustling hub of activity. Make sure to stop by Hugh Town, where you can explore charming shops, cozy cafes, and historical sites such as the Star Castle. Don’t miss the opportunity to hike up to the Buzza Tower for panoramic views of the surrounding islands.

Tresco Island

Tresco is a paradise for nature lovers, with its world-renowned Tresco Abbey Garden showcasing exotic plants from all corners of the globe. Take a leisurely stroll along the white sandy beaches of Tresco and keep an eye out for playful seals and seabirds.

St. Agnes Island

For a taste of rural tranquility, head to St. Agnes, the southernmost inhabited island of the Scilly Isles. Wander through the charming village, visit the island's lighthouse, and hike to the breathtaking vantage point at Wingletang Down.

CELEBRATE COASTAL CUISINE WITH LOCAL SPIRIT

The Southampton Boat Show 2024 is here and I am really looking forward to coming along. I’ll be doing two cooking demonstrations each Sunday - come find me on board Thalassa!

This all got me thinking about “Floaty Foods’’ and it felt right to talk about tips for making delicious food onboard. With so many of the freshest local ingredients being easily available at markets and local suppliers, there are plenty of dishes you can whip up at sea, no matter how limited the space is. The flavours speak for themselves and it keeps the cooking simple!

Let’s start by taking a look at how to keep things straightforward and tasty when out on the water!

SOURCING

LOCAL INGREDIENTS

Our coastline is brimming with fantastic markets and harbourside suppliers, so why not sail along, take a look and pick up some fabulous ingredients whilst you are visiting.

When you’re near a harbour, take a stroll through the local markets.

Nothing

compares to the taste of seafood straight from the sea. Look out for mackerel, crab, and scallops, and don’t be afraid to ask the locals for their freshest catch and cooking tips. Each season brings a bounty of fruits and veggies too, so look for strawberries, vibrant asparagus and crisp lettuce. These seasonal gems are perfect for fresh, tasty meals you can easily make on your boat. Remember every area has its stars. For example Dorset crab is a musttry, along with Scottish salmon and Welsh lamb. These add a touch of regional flair to your meals. Here are just a few examples of local coastal opportunities, all bursting with fresh produce, seafood and natural specialties.

SOUTHAMPTON MARKET

Located conveniently near the marina, Southampton Market offers a fantastic array of fresh seafood straight from the Solent. Look out for locally caught fish like cod, haddock and plaice, as well as shellfish such as mussels and scallops. The market also features seasonal fruits and vegetables from nearby Hampshire farms, perfect for adding a burst of flavour to your onboard meals.

BRIXHAM FISH MARKET

Brixham, Devon is renowned for its bustling fish market, which is one of the largest in England and a major hub for seafood trading. The Brixham Fish Market operates early in the morning, where local fishermen land their catches straight from the sea. It’s not a traditional farmers’ market with produce, but it’s a vibrant spot where you can purchase a wide variety of freshly caught seafood, including cod, haddock, plaice, mackerel, crab and scallops. The market is a key part of Brixham’s fishing industry and also offers visitors a firsthand glimpse into the region’s maritime heritage and delicious foody offerings.

CORNWALL’S PANNIER MARKET

Nestled in the heart of beautiful Cornwall, Pannier Market is a treasure trove of Cornish delicacies. Here, you’ll find the freshest catches of the day, including succulent lobsters, crabs and oysters harvested from pristine local waters. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to sample specialties like Cornish pasties, artisan cheeses and freshly baked breads, all ideal for creating a memorable meal on board.

ISLE OF WIGHT FARMERS’ MARKET

Set against the

backdrop of the Isle of Wight’s picturesque coastline, the Farmers’ Market showcases an abundance of seasonal produce and artisanal products. From juicy strawberries and heirloom tomatoes to fragrant herbs and organic meats, this market celebrates the island’s agricultural heritage. Be sure to chat with local farmers and fishermen selling their produce, they can give tips so that your meal is infused with the fantastic flavours of the Isle of Wight.

AND DON’T FORGET… HARBOURSIDE SUPPLIERS AND FISHERMEN

Many harbours across the UK have suppliers and fishermen who actively sell their produce directly to the public. For instance, in harbours like Padstow, Cornwall or Whitstable in Kent, you can often find fishermen with their catch of the day ready to buy straight from their boats. This direct connection ensures the freshest seafood possible, whether it’s lobster, crab or a variety of fish that’s in season.

Embrace unforgettable moments with Evielou Rum, a handcrafted masterpiece. Distilled to perfection, crafted with passion and tradition, Evielou Rum is your passport to a world full of celebration and making memories. Raise your spirits and indulge in an exotic voyage. Sip Rum, savour moments, and cherish life.

COOKING ON BOARD

Now, let’s talk about turning your boat’s galley into an efficient kitchen. It might be small, but with a bit of planning, you can whip up some seriously delicious dishes! Here are a few tips:

1.Make sure your galley is stocked with the essentials. Think multipurpose tools, a good set of knives, and a sturdy cutting board. Space is tight, so keep it efficient!

2. Cooking on a boat comes with its own set of challenges and safety first is my motto. Always ensure you have a marine-grade stove that is installed securely (if there is space). Keep a fire extinguisher handy, and be mindful of the weather.

3. Minimise food waste by portioning meals and using leftovers creatively. Choose storage solutions made from eco-friendly materials like bamboo or stainless steel.

4. Organise things well. Consider compact appliances suitable for small spaces and keep frequently used items easily accessible.

5. Maximise time on the water by pre-chopping ingredients and premeasuring any spices so you are all set to cook. Why not prepare one-pot meals which will minimise clean-up.

SETAG YACHTS

WHY OUR ‘THIRD WAY’ IN BOAT OWNERSHIP IS THE MOST SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

Since we first launched SETAG in Plymouth in April 2021, we have been inspired by an insight that seemed obvious to us. After 31 years working his way up through the business to eventually become CEO of Princess Yachts, our founder Chris Gates was convinced that there was a ‘Third Way’ in terms of luxury yacht ownership that noone had really offered before.

Put in layman’s terms, SETAG offers the chance to refit pre-owned luxury yachts so that they are good as – if not better than – new, ensuring they are not only fit for purpose to match any new 80ft+ boat on the market, but also that they are futureproofed for emerging trends in terms of design and technological advancement.

But, more than that, by ‘Third Way’ offers by far the wisest route when it comes to sustainability. Refurbishing an existing

yacht is inherently more sustainable than manufacturing a brand new one, for the simple reason that, by re-using and updating an existing model, you are minimising your environmental footprint by a huge amount. Not only does it reduce the demand for raw materials and energy consumption associated with new constructions, it also significantly reduces the impact across the entire supply chain.

The notion of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ is at the core of our business. A refit project from SETAG is the ultimate

in upcycling – without ever stinting on the exacting standards that our clientele demand. Drawing on the unique, combined knowledge of our team, who boast over 200 years of combined expertise working for some of the most prestigious yacht companies in the world, we offer a level of service that is second to none – indeed it’s not uncommon for our team to be refitting and upgrading boats that they had a hand in building and designing in the first place, from concept to final delivery.

WHY IS SUSTAINABILITY IMPORTANT TO SETAG?

Since our inception, we have been dedicated to ‘driving positive change’ within the yachting industry – and this is no better illustrated than our attitude towards sustainability. With increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact across all manufacturing, it is imperative that we work together to implement sustainable solutions. In an era where eco-consciousness is paramount, this ethos not only resonates deeply with our clientele, who are becoming more demanding when it comes to responsibility, but also aligns with broader global trends towards sustainability.

It stands to reason that all those involved in industries should be doing everything to ensure a cleaner, brighter future. After all, yachting life is built around enjoying the beauty of nature, making it vital to protect our environment and teach future generations to do the same.

And, of course, by refitting an existing boat rather than investing in a new build, we offer incredible value for money – the promise of a luxury yacht that matches the exacting standards of buying new, but for a fraction of the cost.

With SETAG, there is no need to compromise the luxury finish of your yacht to protect our planet – and once you own a yacht that is as technically advanced as anything currently available today, with a beautiful bespoke interior created to your exact specifications – and for an economic price – then you can enjoy true, invaluable luxury. We think differently with design and manufacturing – a sustainable, cost-effective way forward without compromising on quality. SETAG offers a win-win solution: you end up with bespoke yacht that feels entirely new to you, while reducing your environmental footprint.

CASE STUDY: PRINCESS 72

As an example of how SETAG’s innovative approach can marry luxury with sustainability, the Princess 72 we are showcasing at the Southampton Boat Show is one of our biggest and most ambitious projects yet. The project involved stripping the boat back to beyond its skeleton for a complete rebuild –meaning that practically everything you are able to see in the final refit has been changed and updated.

The materials and technology used throughout – from bespoke bedding to upgraded air conditioning and a state-ofthe-art integrated Bang & Olufsen sound system – are super high-end; the level of design interaction is super yacht standard, as we would normally expect to see being spec’d on a 40+ M boat.

The exterior features a new teak deck as well as all-new upholstery throughout, with feature lighting, exterior cameras, a complete replacement of all skin fittings and ball valves, a new glass aft Flybridge rail, with a custom-built aft sofa and the sunpad being completely removed & replaced with two bespoke-built curved bars. The foredeck sunpad has been restyled with an additional headrest to double up as a backrest (creating a bench set-up). In addiction, there is a new Williams Tender with upholstering to match the main

yacht – super yacht standard.

Inside, the Saloon now boasts a statement ‘rise and fall’ portside bar unit with a marble top, the bar built around specified glasses to fit inside. The portside curved sofa has been completely restyled, while the starboard sofa has been redesigned. There is a new coffee table and a new curvaceous dinette sofa with a matching oval dinette table. Feature lighting, and new headlining has been added, together with sidelinings and window linings throughout the entire yacht. The galley includes a new worktop and galley front, with a bookshelf design replacing the previous glass divider, and all new appliances added - with new crockery & glassware supplied from the previous Princess M-Class upgrade specification options. Nothing has been overlooked on this project – we have created the best value for money mini super yacht.

There are new helmseats at the dash, with an all-new navigation suite, new panelling and headlining, duckpond and console pod all re-covered.

The cabins have been restyles with new headboards, window linings, leather wrap for outboard units and bulkheads, new bed upstands and bedside lights,

Princess 72

and a new mirror TV in the forward cabin replacing the vanity unit. Meanwhile, the master cabin has a new TV feature column, formental cherry blossom silk embroidered artwork as feature headboard that is hand stitched, a starboard sofa and wine fridges.

A SUSTAINABLE DESIGN APPROACH

We work hard to provide sustainable options wherever possible – from responsible practices when it comes to everything from reducing toxins in the materials we use, to ethical supply chains, to more energy-efficient solutions for the running of your yacht, while also reducing pollution at sea.

Our unparalleled interior design team have sourced natural alternatives wherever possible that don’t compromise on comfort or style, limiting the use of harmful manmade foam materials in chairs,

cushions and sofas that can release dangerous toxic particles when they deteriorate.

With this approach, we are proud that SETAG are recognised as game-changers within the industry. But these are all secondary in comparison to the huge reduction in environmental impact that is inherent in reusing an existing boat as opposed to a new build.

We work closely with suppliers who champion ethical and eco-friendly values so that, across our supply chain, from top to bottom, we are able to share ideas, build initiatives and reimagine concepts for the future. It’s a two-way process and a constant learning curve, but by challenging how the parts we use are manufactured, what materials we include, the labour we employ and the way we transport goods, we are leading the way to building a truly sustainable operation.

Sustainability is no longer an either/or choice

It is fundamental to SETAG’s approach to emphasise that sustainability does not come at the cost of luxury. There is no compromise in the quality of what we deliver. Our new, ‘Third Way’ option for yacht purchasing means we are raising the concept of ‘refit’ to a new level of luxury. It’s not luxury redefined – it is also luxury refitted and remastered… by the original artists. Through our unique, truly bespoke design and refit service, you can buy a pre-owned vessel and add value to it by creating an environment designed precisely for you – while benefitting the wider environment too. We believe or work speaks for itself, as the Princess 72 project perfectly demonstrates.

SETAG’s philosophy is that a refit is not just a solution to your challenges – but instead the smartest way of protecting your

investment and ensuring it isn’t adding to the pressing problems of environmental destruction and energy overuse.

you’ve bought your yacht,’ says Chris Gates. ‘But more than that, it is also the most sustainable option for boat owners –reducing your footprint simply by keeping your existing yacht not simply shipshape but as good as anything you could buy for new.’

It is all part of our commitment to setting tomorrow’s standards for sustainability in luxury boatmaking and design. We’re committed to reducing your environmental impact to support the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity on our planet. We’re generating positive change by building responsible and sustainable methods into every stage of our refits –and of course, the simple act of refitting an existing yacht is the ultimate in upcycling.

cream-coloured interior and conventional fittings lacked personality and flair. It was a yacht that blended in, rather than stood out.

Our client envisioned something radically different. They desired a yacht that would reflect their bold personality and distinctive style – an yacht that was vibrant, electric, and unmistakably unique. This vision set the stage for a complete transformation, embodying the theme: “Why blend in, when you can stand out.”

We completely remodelled the Galley area which included increasing the size of the cupboards & spraying them in a contemporary colour to match the rest of the interior refit. A new worktop, floor & splash-back all complete the transformation, particularly the use of beautiful Siminetti pearl tile surface. We completely removed gas from

One of one

We believe in pushing the boundaries of traditional yacht design. Our philosophy is centered around created unique, custom-tailored yachts that reflect the individual tastes and lifestyles of our clients. Unlike production builds designed for the masses, our bespoke services ensure each project is a singular work of art.

Embracing Reds and Clashing Tones

One of the most striking aspects of this transformation is the use of bold, clashing colours. Reds, purples, oranges and other vibrant tones were meticulously chosen to create a dynamic and energetic atmosphere. While this might seem unconventional, our expert designers along with the client,

ensured that these colours harmonised beautifully, resulting in an interior that is both eye-catching and cohesive.

Master Cabin

A huge transformation in the master cabin includes increasing the size of the bed base, significantly reducing the use of timber by removing the upper lockers Port & Starboard, a custom sofa on the Starboard side. Every panel has been replaced & resized to more modern sizes

Custom Features: Creating a Truly Bespoke Yacht

Every element of the Broom 42CL is customised to the client’s specifications. From bespoke furniture pieces and unique lighting fixtures to custom-designed cabinetry and

high-end materials, no detail was overlooked. The yacht now features a state-ofart entertainment system, luxurious cabins and a beautiful gourmet galley, all tailored to enhance the onboard experience.

Forward Cabin

Our client desired a double cabin configuration in the Forward instead of 2 individual bunks – we therefore created a double berth with ample storage below.

Craftsmanship and Detail: The Art of High-end Design

Our skilled artisans and craftsmen dedicate countless hours to perfecting every aspect of the yacht. Handcrafted details, precision engineering, and the finest materials come together to create a space that exudes luxury and sophistication. This attention to detail ensures that the yacht is not only beautiful but also functional and liveable.

Cockpit

We have reupholstered all the exterior upholstery and manufactured the helmseats from 3 individual bulky seats, into one slick bench seat that electronically slides forward & aft to transition form driving position into the backrest for the cockpit seating area.

Setting New Standard’s in Yacht Customisation

We are redefining what it means to own a yacht. Our bespoke services offer a level of customisation and exclusivity that production builds simply cannot match. This Broom 42cl transformation showcases our dedication to creating unique, personalised yachts that stand above the rest.

EMBRACING THE DRY ROBE TREND

As the inevitable seasonal change is upon us as we now transition from Summer into Autumn, the emphasis now shifts to preparing ourselves for those ensuing colder months ahead and with that in mind we are going to explore the origins along with the merits of one of the most popular outdoor jackets currently in the UK, namely the changing robe.

ORIGIN AND PURPOSE

So what do we actually know about the origins of the affectionately named modern day changing robe and what really is its purpose and reason behind its ever growing appeal?

Robes have a captivating history that weaves its way through diverse cultures and spans countless centuries, as all manner of robes have adorned individuals for a number of purposes ranging from religious ceremonies, royal coronations and many other formal occasions. However, the origin and purpose of the present day changing robe is very much different from any of the historical robes worn in days gone by and certainly serves a completely different purpose in modern society.

If we look back to around a decade ago, you will find the origin of the modern day changing robe immersed in the culture of surfing, as it was originally designed and created with the purpose of keeping surfers warm and dry after a long hard surf in cold water climates. Not only that, it also developed a dual purpose function as it was not only used by surfers as merely a garment to keep the body warm post surf, but to also offer a level of personal privacy when trying to change out of a sodden cold wetsuit which if you have ever tried this, is not an easy task to do especially with cold hands and numb fingers.

With it’s popularity firmly cemented within the surfing community, it came as no surprise that when the touch paper was lit off the back of the Covid pandemic whereby we have witnessed a meteoric rise in the popularity of open water swimming here in the UK, the changing robe quickly became the uniform of choice amongst open water swimming enthusiasts. For all of the same reasons that a surfer would wear one after surfing,

open water swimmers enjoy the same appeal of using the robe after coming out of the water after a dip to keep warm and to change out of cold wet swimming gear. With the rapid growth of the open water swimming market showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon and whether you are a serious distance swimmer or a weekend dipper, the changing robe is now considered an absolute necessity for anyone taking part in any kind of watersport with a board or without.

In addition to being used in a number of watersport disciplines, the changing robe has integrated itself into the global OCR circuit (Obstacle Course Racing) which has also seen a significant rise in popularity over the last few years as events like Tough Mudder, Spartan and the OCR Championships to name a few, attract thousands of competitors every year. Again due to the OCR participants requirement to wear something that offers warmth, comfort and functionality,

of continual lockdowns, home working and absolutely zero social activities, we became very much accustomed to spending long hours at home lounging around in loose, baggier attire where the sole daily focus of wearing clothes centred around the need for convenience and creature comfort.

This new found desire for wearing looser, oversized attire was not lost on the world of fashion as it soon transcended into a wider global fashion trend as luxury brands such as Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana and Marc Jacobs started to showcase their XXL shapes down the runway back in early 2021 and when Justin Beiber turned up at the Grammy’s in 2022 with a huge oversized Balenciaga suit, the whole movement went to another level. From that point onwards, most independent clothing retailers started to focus on the oversized market, offering a wide range of everyday ‘Supersizing’ options for us to choose from ranging from denims, dresses to suits and as one fashion industry mogel commented recently, ‘It is almost as if we are seeing a return to the 90’s, with the reemergence of hugely oversized pieces’.

handed out by OCR event

This act of stitching event badges onto be likened to medals being handed out in the military,

cast our minds back to those covid pandemic days

With the emergence of the new trend towards ‘Supersized’ clothing, this has undoubtedly had a significant positive effect for the changing robe market as it has paved the way for the product to enter a wider main stream global market and the changing robe is fast becoming an essential everyday jacket for anyone spending time outdoors. Whether you are an actor in between takes on a film set, a dog walker, a parent on the school run, a cross fit athlete, a supermarket shopper, or even a boating enthusiast it is hard to deny the merits of a changing robe.

COMFORT, FUNCTIONALITY & VERSATILITY

So putting aside the fact that the changing robe has slotted in nicely to a global fashion trend due to its supersized design, what are the key fundamentals of the jacket itself that makes it so appealing and why would it appeal specifically to boating enthusiasts?

THE SEASHELL RANGE

The Seashell range is made for people who enjoy outdoor activities whatever the weather, as all products offer protection from the harshest weather conditions.

The core of the Seashell range centres around 4 different coloured changing robes with a distinct marine feel with the Sand and Ocean robes lined up alongside Black and the recently launched camo Mission robe. All changing robes are made from recycled polyester and nylon materials with an environmentally friendly water repellent finish on the outer coupled with a plush sherpa inner fleece lining.

Seashell accessories come in the shape of the premium blended merino wool beanie, spread over 5 colours which match and accessorise well with the robes and the range also includes the extremely versatile 25L rucksack style dry bag, which is designed for carrying all manner of items”.

Well, the jacket is extremely warm, offers excellent wind and waterproofing capabilities which comes with undoubted benefits when out on deck, especially when the weather gets a little fresher during the Autumn months. Covering an average area of 70% of the body with its longer knee level length fit and coming with a snug built in overhang hood, the changing robe offers excellent thermal efficiency to the majority of areas around the body, with all inner parts of the jacket including the hood being lined with a plush sherpa fleece inner which warms you up quickly and locks in that warmth.

The jacket comes with an array of large inner and outer pockets (4 in total), so you will always have ample storage space for anything you want to carry around on your boat trips from electrical devices, to food and drink and even small tools, as all pockets have a large capacity and are easily accessible and if ever there was a jacket designed to warm up your hands on colds days, then the changing robe is that jacket. Even in extreme colder weather when gloves struggle to keep the cold out, you still have the option of comfortably putting your hands into the large sherpa lined pockets still with your gloves on.

Whether you are looking for a heat up on a harsh cold day or just looking to take the edge of a slightly nippy early morning or evening out on deck, the changing robe caters for all weather conditions and it feels just as comfortable wearing it fully zipped or unzipped. You also have the option of wearing either light clothing like a T-shirt or shorts underneath the jacket, or if the weather conditions are bitterly cold then you can easily throw your robe over any type of clothing as the oversized design of the robe awards you the luxury of wearing anything you want underneath it.

In a nutshell, the changing robe really is the ultimate jacket offering warmth, comfort and versatility and simply put, it just works.

What is possibly not so common knowledge is that whilst building his own boat a few years later, Nick, unwilling to clutter the boats lines with the heavy, bulky wooden beaching legs that were the norm at the time, challenged his brother John, also a highly respected engineer, to design him some “Proper” ones.

The initial design quickly became popular with boat owners from the UK, Channel Islands and the Continent Further development led to the Fully Adjustable Leg being added to the range, allowing for easy single-handed compensation of unanticipated seabed conditions or slopes

THE BRITISH BOATING MAGAZINE TEAM Summer Sea Trials

As the warm summer sun shines down on the sparkling waters of the British coastline, the team at British Boating Magazine embarked on a series of exciting trials to test out the latest and greatest marine products. From sleek sports cruisers to versatile day RIBs, the team put a variety of products through their paces to bring you the inside scoop on what’s hot in the world of boating this season.

We explored the world of versatile day RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats), which are gaining popularity for their practicality and adaptability. These lightweight and durable boats are ideal for a range of activities, from coastal cruising to watersports like wakeboarding and snorkelling. With features such as spacious deck layouts,

flexible seating arrangements, and efficient hull designs, day RIBs offer unmatched versatility for boaters looking to make the most of their time on the water.

As we sailed through the choppy waters of product reviews, it became evident that the maritime industry is undergoing a period of rapid transformation, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation. The BBM team is committed to keeping you informed and inspired as you navigate this ever-evolving landscape, empowering you to make informed decisions when selecting the perfect boat for your next adventure.

Our reviews also highlighted the importance of sustainability and ecofriendliness in the maritime industry, with a focus on boats that incorporate

green technologies and environmentally conscious design elements. From electric propulsion systems to solar panels and recyclable materials, boat manufacturers are taking significant strides towards reducing their carbon footprint and minimising their impact on the marine ecosystem. The new technology developed by Optima Yachts with their groundbreaking electric yachts is key in developing a more sustainable approach and encourage boaters to make informed choices that benefit the environment.

So, if you’re looking to take your boating adventures to the next level, be sure to check out our reviews of the newest marine technology that are shaping the future of boating.

VESSELS CRAFTED JOURNEYS DEFINED

Weighing in at just 160kg Ocean Rib’s 4.2-meter OC1 isn’t a rib to be underestimated, what this rib may lack in size compared to her bigger sister rib the OC2 ranging from 6.5 to 8.5-meters she certainly makes up for in capability, seaworthiness and her open water handling abilities.

The British Boating Magazine team were kindly invited by Ocean Rib founders Gerry and Natalie Koen to head down to Hayling Island and meet up with Ocean Rib ambassadors ‘Team C Fishing’, consisting of Father Jon and sons Joseph and Toby Challinor, to step aboard and take to the sea on their Ocean Rib OC1, complete with a Mercury 40HP ELP EFI 4-stroke outboard engine.

deep sea fly fisher punched through the water ahead of us I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I was left feeling slightly daunted an overwhelmed at the fact I was sitting in just 4.2-meter rib in what looked to be a challenging sea sgtate, feeling completely alone in an area I wasn’t all to familiar with. Life Jacket secure, engine warmed and running nicely, radio checks done, there was nothing left to do other than throttle down and see what this little boat had to offer. And offer she did!

If you have ever taken to the water off Hayling Island, the birthplace of windsurfing, you will know that there is little to no shelter from an incoming tide with the wind behind it, so as we made our way out and past the daunting East Winner Sand Bank (the bar) the white horses cashed and rolled as the gusting 25knt winds pushed inland and straight onto the nose of the rib, avoiding the bar completely the surrounding sea state was confused, with a consistent 2.5-meter swell with plenty of chop on top, as our crew boat, a 30 plus foot Beneteau

My anxiety of being overwhelmed and underpowered soon passed as I gripped the wheel and took to leaping and bouncing through the water, the Mercury outboard perfectly matched the need of the hull, throttling back and forth to adjust speed and positioning for each rolling surge, the well built hull landing softly against the water beneath it, there was little to no banging and slapping in and out of the water. The lack of spray screen that I had previously felt would leave me open and vulnerable to a wash of cold British salt water and soaked through, transpired to be a complete over reaction on my part, this being the ‘only’ sea trial I have ever finished as dry as I started! The shape and hull design of this rib ensured a smooth

and completely dry ride, I was amazed! The twin row of jockey helm seats that I really wasn’t a huge fan of, came into their own, to look at, they certainly don’t offer the luxurious diamond stitched, quilted, relaxed lounging feel often seen on many of todays high end luxury ribs, but on this rib, they were perfect and I wouldn’t have been without them, straddled with legs either side, I was able to lock myself in, back against the back support and hands on the wheel, I was going nowhere, the seat positioning and hight was designed with detailed precision allowing me to raise to my feet with ease and use my legs and knees as shock absorbers when required, there was no uncomfortable back breaking shudders that one will often experience when taking to a challenging sea onboard a rib. Her 1.85-meter beam meant that turning at speed was no hardship, even in waters like we were experiencing, as her transom dug deep and the long shaft of the Mercury outboard ripped, cutting her through the water, turning her on a sixpence if required, the electronic trim enabling you to completely adjust the leg position as you circled through head on and then beam on peaks and troughs of water. Remarkably the 41cm diameter tubes pushing up flows of wash back, away from the helm and the inside of the boat. The power trim again coming into its own keeping the bow on top of the oncoming sea, never pitching, not once! Typically, when asked my thoughts towards a particular boat after a trail, I will pass verdict based on my own personal feelings, and this one was hard to ignore, with a grin from ear to ear, the Ocean Rib OC1 had passed the test and has a huge thumbs up from me. Is it a luxurious high value rib, no, it’s not meant to be. However, my first impressions when setting of were that I

was taking to sea, and not a nice sea, in a tender. How wrong I was, this boat is a RIB, with every bit of punch and growl that any other rib that I have trialled has delivered, a true testament of its boat building quality and craftsmanship. On a more serine day, the perfect floating escape to explore coves and caves, beaches and marinas, on a typically British less than ‘good’ day, an incredibly safe, reliable and very capable rib.

The 4.2-meter OC1 RIB is designed with both style and practicality in mind. The seamless tube design not only gives them a modern and sleek feel but also makes them easy to store and transport.

REBEL RIBS

Launched in 2021 by founder Graham Swift, Rebel Ribs are not to be overlooked, with Graham’s background of engineering excellence, marine industry experience and attention to detail the Rebel brand certainly looks the part, with a luxurious no expense spared finish it would seem that Graham and his team knew exactly what they set out to deliver when developing their range of rigid inflatable boats.

Offering a range of RIBS measuring from 2.4 meters through to 5.8 meters, there is something for everyone within the Rebel range, from inflatable roll up tenders to aluminium hulled category C rigid inflatable boats, Rebel Ribs certainly have it covered. Partnering with industry leader of the marine outboard engines sector Tohatsu these ribs seem perfectly suited for the boating enthusiast.

SEA TRIAL TRIUMPH

The British Boating Magazine team jumped at the chance when Graham invited us down to Poole for a sea trial, to see if the Rebel

ribs performance and sea keeping could indeed live up to the stylish robust look that these RIBS appeared to have.

And what better boat to take to the water than Rebel’s all new Rebel Riot 580 Sport complete with the Tohatsu 115hp 4-stroke outboard!

At first glance the 580 sport is eye catching to say the least, with its black Orca Hypalon tubes and powder coated, chromated marine grade black aluminium hull this stylish stealth like craft blends itself between exploration and adventure to cruising in style and comfort with its vibrant green choice of finishing, making her the ultimate all-rounder for water sports,

exploring coastal nooks and crannies or a head turning cruise along one of the many rivers or ria’s that the UK has to offer, she certainly wouldn’t look out of place in places like Dartmouth or Salcombe!

COMFORT AND STYLE

With an overall length of 5.8 meters and beam of 2.5 meters you certainly wont feel on top of each other in this rib, feeling very spacious and with a well thought out seating configuration, walking around the foam EVA teak decks was easy. With a maximum plated capacity for 12 people there is ample comfortable seating for 9 on the soft, padded diamond stitched upholstered seats, all furnished with accessible grab rails or handles for added safety, underneath the seating you will find an abundance of dry storage compartments, offering plenty of space for dry robes, wet suits, dry bag, ropes and fenders along with a good sized cool box/bag for drinks and snacks, further complimented by 6 stainless cup holders, perfectly positioned for easy reach and access whilst under way.

from the elements or any oncoming wash from a full height spray screen, reinforced with a tubular guard and grab rail, wrapping around the helms position ensuring a good visibility in any conditions. Complete with the added options of a Garmin chart plotter and VHF, audio fingertip controls, navigation lights, underwater lights, and deck lights switches, bilge pump controls and all engine and fuel instrumentation and gauges Graham and the team at Rebel will leave the helmsman of the Rebel Riot 580 sport wanting for nothing!

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

At the helm of the Rebel Riot 580 Sport you will feel very comfortable, with everything right there at your fingertips, with its twin reclinable bolsters offering either a raised standing helms position or a seated option with raised foot rest you will feel secure within the boat, protected

From bow to stern this RIB has been thought through, with a soft EVA teak grip boarding step mounted on the bow of her tubes for easy boarding or disembarkment, to a structural full beam radar arch encompassing secure cleats and anchor light, further a stern you will find a retractable boarding ladder and a really useful fresh water outlet with a multipurpose use, one as a transom shower and the other as a hose lock adaptor fitting directly onto the Tohatsu outboard fresh water flush through system, making flushing your engine through after use effortless where ever you are launching from! The Rebel Riot Sport 580

Time to live a little

also boasts a sun canopy/bimini with rod holders making this versatile RIB the perfect match for almost every boater seeking an exhilarating day on the water.

Leaving the marina and making our way out through Poole harbour the 580 Sport sat well in the water, offering a stable and balanced ride. As it often is, Poole harbour was awash with other boats both commercial and leisure, all adding to the confused chop of the day with their wash, at slow speeds we remained dry and the hydraulic steering made manoeuvring through the waterway a breeze, light and responsive as we navigated bow too into oncoming swells, avoiding traffic as we headed for the needles. The further out we got, the swells got bigger, it wasn’t a rough sea state, nor overly big, but a consistent 2-3 feet swell with some wind behind it. As we throttled on and opened the Tohatsu 115hp outboard up the 580 sports bow lifted and she comfortably pushed us

through the oncoming sea, keeping all on board dry and very comfortable throughout the journey, at speed the rib handled beautifully, making light of tight turns and corners, the noise level on board was incredibly low, almost zero, making talking with the crew and other passengers really clear, adding to the enjoyment and ease of the day. In my opinion the 115hp outboard is the perfect match for the 580 Sport, delivering good speeds and never lacking in power, she gave a feeling of confidence, the electronic trim adjustment meant we could position the ribs bow perfectly for every swell, adjusting back and throttling off when perhaps I had over estimated a trough on the other

side of a peak, we didn’t get wet once! It was brilliant! The spray washed up and under into to the sides of the aluminium hull pushing back down to the water under the tubes, not once adjusting the boats performance or stability. The Rebel Riot 580 Sport really was a great ride, her stern holding tight on fast manoeuvres, digging deep as her bow effortlessly went where we asked her to. Her sea keeping, power and overall ability more than lived up to the high class finish that Rebel had delivered. A very impressive rib and to our surprise, a lot of boat for the money, with the Rebel Riot Sport 580 starting from just £29,500.00 this is a serious piece of kit offering endless fun and a life time of memories coming as standard with a 5 year warranty on the tubes, 5 year warranty on the hull and a 7 year warranty on the engine, the question begs if you are looking for an affordable, desirable and capable rib I don’t think you can go far wrong with a Rebel Rib!

THE BEST EQUIPMENT FOR THE JOB Twisted Marine

At a first glance you would be right to easily mistake the Twisted T300S for an Axopar, in fact before its classification that’s exactly what it was. But, following some 600 hours of custom Twisted artisan rigging she is delivered with her very own identity and HIN number, the T300S is not an Axopar, it is a ‘Twisted’ T300S. With its cutting lines, vibrant eye-catching colour scheme, industry leading technology advancements and the growl of her engine, the T300S is truly in a league of its own, far more than adventure on the water, this boat is a beast, an experience that once discovered you will crave for, again and again.

FROM THE GROUND UP

Originally supplied from the Axopar London Group, the T300S starts its journey with Twisted Marines complete strip down and bespoke ground-up rigging program, with an obsessive attention to detail, typical of anything Twisted. Looking past the striking custom Land Rover inspired paint scheme, you will find dual offshore fully adjustable Fox suspension seating, enhanced engine set up and performance, billet jack plates and lifters, the addition of digital offshore switching and trim controls, EVA SeaDek soft decking throughout, a Twisted multi-channel audio component system and duo Simrad displays at the helm, all stitched up with custom twisted upholstery, the T300S is an touch of class and comfort, yet she is ready to take on whatever you throw at her. With a length of eight meters and a beam of 2.23 meters the T300S is tuned to reach speeds of 52 knots, so hold on

tight as we talk you through our firsthand experience on the water!

BATTLING THE BRITISH WEATHER

Consistent with the 2024 summers season, the skies were grey and the wind was present, not gusting but a consistent 15-17 knots, as we slipped our lines just ahead of Salcombe’s bag a thick drizzle of rain wasn’t going to dampen our spirits as we remained sheltered underneath the Twisted retractable bimini cover and well protected from the elements behind the one piece adjustable windscreen,

making dreams become reality

wrapping around the helm in a hug like grip, you felt an instant feeling of safety and stability, feet braced against the SeaDek EVA soft deck covered foot rest offering grip and absorption of any impact, I felt a sensation of heading out into battle, but armed with the very best equipment for the job! With a 3-meter swell coming onto the bow every 3-5 seconds and a significant amount of chop the sea state was messy as it often can be coming in and over the notorious Salcombe bar, it was almost instantly that the T300S came into her own, eating

up and cutting into the water her 300HP Mercury Pro XS V8 growled, ripped and roared as her 8-meter body complete with Axopar’s iconic twin stepped hull held tight, gripping every moving wave and white roll of surf the seas threw at her, allowing for very impressive handling, the classic 350mm Twisted steering wheel with wireless helm centre allowed for effortless steering, light and ultra effective, you could put the boat where ever you wanted to, whenever you needed to, a real ‘off-road’ experience on the water, one can only assume

the desired effect from the ‘zero-compromise’ land rover enhancer that Twisted is renowned for being!

Punching through each wave, the boat parting with the water entirely, seamlessly flying through the air in a moment of calm serenity, before being met head on with another 3 meter wall of surging sea, remarkably not banging and hammering back

making dreams become reality

down with loud daunting thuds against the hull, but pushing aside the oncoming flow and forcing her way through, effortlessly moving forward, keeping captain and crew comfortable and safe, enjoying every thrill seeking moment.

Away from the rugged and ready to take on anything feel the T300S is perfectly equipped both internally and externally for both days and nights on the water, with ample comfortable and stylish seating opportunities both out on the aft deck and internally within the confines of her light, airy and spacious cabin, complete with a good

sized double bed, with plenty of storage pockets, a fresh water tap and basin and the option of an added WC if required could make the T300S a fantastic and fun all round weekender, the swim deck shower is perfectly placed with both hot and cold fresh water for rinsing off after a swim or simply to freshen up! The off set side walk offers easy access to the bow and anchor locker with conveniently place guard rails positioned at a good height for a secure holding point when navigating the bow area, to the bow its self you will find a spacious and comfortable sun pad offering plenty of space to relax and unwind with a drink or perhaps to lay back and catch some

of that British summers sun! The moment you step aboard the Twisted T300S you get a feeling, not one of multi-million-pound luxury that motor yachts give, nor that of global ability that sailing boats give, but one of something special. Which is exactly what this boat is, special. You can ‘feel’ every second of engineering excellence that has gone into her craft, every touch of a handrail, opening and closing of a hatch, the moment you sit at her helm and throttle away, you feel it, a feeling of responsibility to handle her excellence. As you cruise back to your berth you will do so with a sense of pride and appreciation for what she is. The Twisted T300S is to be built and delivered for someone, someone who really wants that something special, something to be proud of.

Optima Yachts

THE DYNAMIC

FUTURE OF ELECTRIC BOATING

WRITTEN BY AMANDA THIBAUT FROM THE

GINGER AGENCY

Embrace the future of electric yachts with

In the constantly evolving landscape of electric boating, Optima Yachts is unquestionably emerging as a trailblazer, redefining the concept of sustainable leisure time on the water.

Founded on the principles of innovation and environmental stewardship, this brand is at the forefront of the electric boating revolution, offering the opportunity to own carefully crafted vessels designed to harmonise with both nature and luxury lifestyles.

PIONEERING ETHOS AND VISION

At the heart of Optima Electric Yachts lies a deep commitment to revolutionising marine transportation through cuttingedge technology and uncompromising sustainability. Led by David Kendall, a visionary in boat design and eco-friendly engineering, the company has amassed acclaim and industry awards for its forward-thinking approach. Optima’s ethos resonates with a generation increasingly conscious of environmental impact, providing a compelling alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered boats. David Kendall explains the vision, “We wanted to make luxury electric yachts that are really meeting customer demands in terms of facilities and range capabilities with the ability to undertake passages of over 100 nm in comfort and safety, including proper safety margins. Extensive R&D over the last 4 years including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, validated by model and prototype

testing has resulted in a unique hull form that significantly reduces the energy consumption and improves comfort for passengers.”

THE OPTIMA E10: A PROTOTYPE REDEFINING EXPECTATIONS

The journey began with the Optima e10, a 10 metre marvel that has captured imaginations and set new benchmarks in electric boating. Introduced to the industry, this prototype has swiftly gained recognition for its innovative design and stunning craftsmanship, alongside outstanding range, luxury and versatility. Featuring a stabilised monohull and powered by advanced RAD Propulsion technology, the e10 offers not just efficiency but also outstanding comfort. Its spacious layout, including double cabin and a social cockpit, invites multigenerational enjoyment - a hallmark of Optima’s dedication to blending style with practicality.

EVOLUTION TO THE E14: MOVING TOWARDS THE FUTURE

Building on the success of the e10, Optima is poised to introduce the e14 in 2025, marking a significant leap forward in electric yacht technology. The e14 promises enhanced capabilities and expanded amenities, catering to discerning boaters seeking both adventure and tranquillity on the water. With plans to start production underway, Optima is preparing to deliver a vessel that not only exceeds expectations in electric performance but

also aligns seamlessly with sustainable living principles.

LIFESTYLE ENRICHMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Electric boating not only offers a mode of efficient transportation but a lifestyle enriched by sustainable practices. The shift towards electric propulsion addresses environmental concerns while offering an uncompromised boating experience, which is where the e14 delivers on every level. From reducing carbon footprints to minimising noise pollution, these yachts embody the future of responsible marine leisure.

The e14 will provide all of the facilities expected in a luxury vessel of this size. These will include cooking via induction hobs and electric ovens/microwave etc that can all be powered from the considerable energy stored in the highvoltage batteries. This significantly enhances safety without the need for

any gas or flammable fuels onboard and removes the inconvenience of having to renew bottles of gas.

The e14 will include a spacious area for entertaining and eating onboard with dining space for up to 10 around a large sociable cockpit table. Large fridges, freezers, ice-makers etc can easily be powered by the electrical energy stored onboard or generated by solar power. Even air conditioning or heating can be

provided and the vessel will be optimised and insulated to reduce solar gain in the cabins or heat loss in cold conditions. The lightweight FRP structure adds to the energy efficiency, but Optima are also addressing concerns regarding the environmental impacts in boat construction. Chloe Kendall, Optima’s co-founder explains “We have looked carefully at the environmental impacts of all materials within our yachts and in selected areas are using natural reinforcements such as flax fibres, bio resins, recycled materials and natural materials such as cork decking wherever possible. In some critical areas we use carbon fibre, where the weight saving is sufficient to justify the extra embodied energy, reducing the overall environmental impact. Our ethos is to use the best material in every location”

ADDRESSING EARLY ADOPTER CONCERNS

For early adopters of electric boating technology, concerns such as range anxiety and charging infrastructure have been widespread. However, Optima addresses these challenges head-on with a robust 150 nautical mile range on a single charge - an impressive feat that ensures peace of mind during extended voyages. Moreover, Optima vessels can be charged on existing 16A or 32A infrastructure found in every marina and have even been charged from 13A supplies from shoreside buildings. The reality is that electricity is much more widely available than petrol or diesel and simply plugging the yacht into shore power is much less time consuming than visiting fuel berths, which can become extremely busy in peak periods.

The integration of fast DC-charging capabilities and the growing network of charging stations across marinas and harbours around the UK and Europe provides options for rapid charging if required.

It is expected that the majority of Optima vessels will include roofs, with either T-tops or fully enclosed cabins being

available. These will then provide space for lightweight and efficient PV cells generating renewable energy to:

1. Sustain longer periods away from shore power, either anchored in idyllic bays, including those conservation areas where fossil fuelled boats are prohibited, or providing additional energy during longer passages.

2. Provide additional charging, which is 100% renewable and free, even when the boat is left in the marina.

POWERING A GREENER TOMORROW; TODAY

In a world increasingly shaped by environmental imperatives, Optima Yachts are a unique blend of innovation, craftsmanship and sustainability. By embracing electric propulsion and pushing the boundaries of marine efficiency, Optima not only meets current demands but also anticipates future regulatory and ecological standards. This forwardthinking approach preserves both marine ecosystems and builds on a legacy for future generations to enjoy the wonder of our oceans, without compromise.

Epitomising the convergence of luxury, comfort and sustainability, with the upcoming build of the first to market e14’s and continued dedication to pioneering technologies, Optima are leading the march for eco-friendly marine solutions. As the allure of electric boating grows, Optima is attracting an influx of enthusiasts and conscientious consumers alike to embark on a journey towards a cleaner, quieter and more meaningful future on the water.

Setting a new standard in the world of electric transportation, Optima Yachts is redefining the boating lifestyle experience for marine enthusiasts and global maritime stakeholders alike.

The Optima e10 will be on display at the Southampton Boat Show in September where attendees will be able to meet the founders, discuss options in more detail and - most excitingly - place orders for production vessels.

The marina offers a safe environment and excellent facilities, including a pristine shower block, laundry, and drying room. They also host fun, charitable events throughout the summer.

AND TAKE YOUR BOATING ABILITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL

In the world of boating, refining your skills is essential for navigating the waters with confidence. Whether you own a boat or regularly hire boats for day trips or holidays, knowing the basics and being confident on the water helps to make the experience more fun, relaxing, and safe for everyone.

From online courses to classroom-style learning and practical courses which take place on the water, there are many ways to consolidate and develop your boating knowledge. A combination of both practical experience and theoretical understanding provides a comprehensive foundation that enhances safety, builds confidence, and ensures the enjoyment of everyone on the boat.

KEEP YOUR CREW SAFE WITH STRONG THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE

For experienced boaters, undertaking professional boating theory courses is paramount to continually enhancing your skills and knowledge on the water. While practical experience is invaluable, theory courses offer a structured approach to understanding the underlying principles of seamanship, navigation, and safety. These courses provide a deeper understanding of maritime regulations, weather patterns, and emergency procedures, empowering boaters to make informed decisions and navigate confidently in diverse conditions. Additionally, theory courses often cover advanced topics such as celestial navigation, electronic chart plotting, and passage planning, which are essential for tackling more challenging voyages.

Whether it’s navigating unfamiliar waters, overcoming unexpected obstacles, or reacting swiftly to emergency situations,

your enhanced skills will make your boating experiences more enjoyable and worry-free.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION: BRIDGING THEORY AND REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE

Practical training allows you to gain confidence in your existing boating skills and abilities. By spending time on the water under the guidance of experienced instructors, you can practice various manoeuvres, hone your navigation skills, and become familiar with the operation of different types of vessels.

While hands-on experience is invaluable, practical courses offer structured training under the guidance of experienced instructors, allowing you to fine-tune your techniques and learn new skills in a controlled environment.

Additionally, practical courses often include simulated emergency scenarios, enabling boaters to develop essential safety protocols and response strategies. By participating in professional practical boating courses, experienced mariners can enhance their proficiency, expand their capabilities, and ensure they are well-

prepared to navigate safely and confidently in any situation they may encounter on the water.

BE CONFIDENT AND COMPLIANT ON THE WATER

Compliance with various maritime regulations and legal requirements goes hand-in-hand with getting out on the water. Practical and theoretical training ensures that you are aware of these regulations, such as licensing requirements, navigation rules, and safety standards. By undergoing proper training, you demonstrate your commitment to adhering to these regulations, which is not only important for your safety but also for maintaining a good standing with authorities, marinas, and charter companies.

SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE: RESPONSIBLE BOATING

Practical and theoretical boating training instils a sense of responsibility towards the marine environment and other boaters. You will learn about sustainable boating practices, marine conservation, and proper waste management. By understanding and practicing responsible boating, you can minimise your impact on the local ecosystems and contribute to preserving the natural beauty of the waterways for future generations.

Having both in depth practical and theoretical knowledge of boat handling, safety procedures, waterway regulations and navigation techniques is the best way to feel totally confident during your charter. But with so much to learn, choosing the best training provider and the right course can seem impossible.

WHY SEASONED BOATERS SHOULD INVEST IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

For experienced boaters, the idea of professional training may initially seem unnecessary. After all, you’ve spent countless hours on the water, honing your craft through trial and error. However, professional training offers a unique opportunity to consolidate existing knowledge, fill any gaps in understanding, and acquire advanced skills under the guidance of industry experts.

With the right instructor, training is also the perfect opportunity to ask questions about those specific scenarios that you encounter whilst out and about on the water. Is there a waterway with limited tidal access which you could use some advice about? Or a particularly tricky manoeuvre with which you have always struggled?

It is never a bad idea to consolidate your knowledge and learn a new skill – regardless of how long you have been sailing. Whether you have a specific upcoming trip planned in unfamiliar waters, or just want to brush

up on your boating knowledge, there’s a myriad of intermediate and advanced courses for those who already know the basics.

TAKING YOUR BOATING ACHIEVEMENTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Advancing Beyond Intermediate:

GETTING STARTED – FINDING THE BEST TRAINING PROVIDER

With so many RYA accredited training providers in operation, it can be challenging to choose the best one for your specific requirements. As a seasoned boater, it is important to work with instructors who understand your

experience. Choosing a reputable training provider will give you best chance of finding the most relevant course to meet your needs, taught by experienced professionals. One of the best ways to spot a trusted training provider is to find a training centre which is recognised by industry leading boating organisations such as the Royal Yachting Association (RYA). RYA certifications are recognised and respected all over the world and their courses are accompanied by high-quality learning materials. By choosing an RYA recognised training centre, you can have peace of mind that the instructors are appropriately qualified. Working alongside instructors who have in-depth knowledge of boating makes it so much easier to consolidate your knowledge and learn new skills. When looking for the right training centre, don’t be afraid to ask specific questions about how their training will help you meet your short- and longer-term goals. A good instructor will know exactly which courses will best meet your needs and will be able to recommend the best pathway to success.

NAVIGATING TOWARDS SUCCESS

In a rapidly evolving maritime landscape, staying ahead of the curve is essential for every boater. Professional training offers a pathway to success by equipping experienced mariners with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate confidently. Whether through advanced seamanship courses, leadership training, or internationally recognised certifications, professional training provides the tools for success on the water. By investing in continuous learning and development, boaters can unlock new opportunities, expand their horizons, and embark on unforgettable adventures with assurance and proficiency.

THE

River Great Ouse River Great Ouse

Stretching from the heart of England to the North Sea, the River Great Ouse navigation is the fifth longest river in the UK. As a combined network of its tributaries, the rivers Cam, Lark, Little Ouse and Wissey, this waterway offers 140 miles of navigable river flowing through some of the most peaceful countryside and ‘chocolate box’ villages, as well as some major towns and cities. That said, the Great Ouse is one of Britain’s lesser explored waterways, with many locks and navigations separating the river with the Grand Union Canal.

If you are looking to embrace the tranquil boating experience, mooring on the Great

Ouse is ideal. Whether looking for new waters to explore or already a regular frequenter, there is always something new to see and do, making time spent afloat nothing less than a pleasure. This unique area of the country can enhance your boating experience on and off the water and make your memories unforgettable.

TOTAL TRANQUILLITY

Well-known for its peace and calmness, this stretch of water is the antidote to a busy week. You can truly escape the day-to-day and take in your surroundings completely uninterrupted. Rural landscapes, breath-taking historical sights and local wildlife adorn the banks, while

cosmopolitan city jaunts and water-side eateries provide an exciting prospect, especially when so easy to reach from your boat.

AMAZING SIGHTS AND FABULOUS BITES

On the River Great Ouse, you’re spoiled for choice with impressive landmarks, things to do and places to dine. By nature of the UK waterways, you’ll pass through many rural villages and towns offering a whole host of family-ran cafés, quaint pubs, and waterside restaurants, many award-winning and popular with locals and visitors. You’ll be spoilt for choice with the bank-side spots in vibrant Cambridge,

offering the perfect place for a drink and bite to eat, and to moor up to enjoy the city’s entertainment, shopping and culture.

UNEXPECTED SUPRISES

Although it runs through the notoriously flat Fenlands, the Great Ouse and its tributaries use a total of 22 locks to help graduate the river’s gentle descent to the sea. These are some of the shallowest locks in Britain and are mostly operated by boat owners themselves, a surprisingly simple and fascinating process in which you can involve everyone onboard. Cruising time between locks varies between 30 minutes and four hours, depending on where you are.

A FASCINATING HISTORY

1870’s.

Fortunately, this was short-lived and with the popularity of leisure boating increasing throughout the 1900’s, the river was soon brought back to life again. Significant interest was shown in the local sugar beet between 1925 - 1959 too, thus leading to the river re-opening to Bedford in 1978. A once necessary facility in the region, the River Great Ouse in present times is used solely for leisure boaters to enjoy a slower pace of life, taking in the sights and sounds that have derived from the fascinating history of the waterway.

WHY BOAT MAINTENANCE IS YOUR LIFELINE ON THE WATER

Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a weekend boater, there's one thing we all have in common - our love for the open water. But, as we all know, with great love comes great responsibility. And in the world of boating, that responsibility is boat maintenance.

Maintenance is a crucial aspect of owning a boat that is often overlooked or underestimated by many boat owners. Ignoring regular maintenance can not only lead to costly repairs down the line but can also compromise the safety of the vessel and its passengers while out on the water. A little maintenance goes a long way and neglecting your boat can lead to costly repairs, breakdowns at sea, or even worse, endangering lives. According to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and coastguard, a significant number of callouts are attributed to poor boat maintenance. These distressing incidents could have been easily avoided with proper care and attention.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BOAT MAINTENANCE

One of the key reasons boat maintenance is vital is to prevent emergencies at sea. Imagine being stranded in the middle of the ocean because your engine failed, or your hull started taking on water due to a leak. These scenarios are not just frightening; they are very real possibilities if your boat is not properly maintained.

MAINTENANCE

So, what are the key things that should be regularly maintained on your boat to keep it safe on the water? Let's break it down:

1. Engine: Your boat's engine is its heart, and without proper maintenance, it can quickly fail. Regularly check and service your engine to ensure it is running smoothly. This includes changing the oil, checking the fuel system, and inspecting the belts and filters.

2. Electrical Systems: Faulty electrical systems can be a major safety hazard on a boat. Check the battery, wires, and connections regularly to avoid any potential fire hazards.

3. Safety Equipment: Life jackets, flares, fire extinguishers, and other safety equipment should be in good working condition and easily accessible in case of an emergency.

4. Hull and Propellers: Inspect the hull for any signs of damage or cracks that could lead to leaks. Check the propellers for any wear and tear that could affect the boat's performance.

5. Plumbing: Make sure the plumbing system, including the bilge pump, is working correctly to prevent water from accumulating inside the boat.

6. Navigation Lights: Ensure your boat's navigation lights are functioning correctly, especially if you plan on boating at night.

Boat maintenance is like a health checkup for your vessel and not a one time task; it's an ongoing commitment to keeping

yourself and others safe on the water. By investing time and effort into proper upkeep, you can enjoy worry-free boating adventures and navigate the open seas with confidence.

THE COST OF NEGLIGENCE

Neglecting boat maintenance doesn't just put you at risk; it also puts a strain on the resources of the RNLI and Coastguard. Every preventable call-out takes away from their ability to respond to genuine emergencies.

about ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the water. It's about reducing the strain on our lifesavers - the RNLI and Coastguard.

Moreover, the cost of a rescue operation is significantly higher than what you would spend on regular maintenance. So, in the long run, keeping your boat in top shape is not just safer, but also more economical. Boat maintenance is not just about keeping your vessel in top shape; it's

So, let's do our part. Let's keep our boats well-maintained and our seas safe. After all, the open water is a place for adventure and joy, not preventable emergencies. Remember, a well-maintained boat is a safe boat.

MAINTENANCE

HOW TO REACT TO AN EMERGENCY

Unexpected emergencies can happen when you least expect them. Being prepared and knowing how to react in such situations can mean the difference between life and death.

If you find yourself in an emergency situation onboard a motorboat at sea, the first rule of thumb is: don't panic. Panicking can cloud your judgement and hinder your ability to think clearly and act decisively. Instead, stay calm, assess the situation, and follow these steps to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.

be your primary method of communication. Channel 16 is the international distress frequency and should be used to make a distress call. Clearly state "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday" followed by your vessel's name, location, nature of the emergency, and the number of people on board.

Stay on the designated channel to receive further instructions from the Coast Guard or other vessels in the vicinity.

attracting the attention of passing vessels by waving bright-coloured objects or setting off smoke signals. try to attract the attention of passing vessels by waving brightly coloured clothing or signalling with a mirror. Additionally, activating an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) can send a distress signal via satellite to alert search and rescue authorities of your location.

While waiting for assistance, it is important to take steps to ensure the safety of everyone on board. If the situation allows, consider moving to a safer location on the boat, such as the centre of the vessel or a life raft if available. Ensure that everyone on board is wearing a life jacket and has access to any necessary safety equipment such as flares, whistles, and first aid kits

The first step is to navigate the boat to a safe location if possible. If the boat is still operational, try to move it away from any immediate dangers such as rocks, reefs, or other hazards. If the boat is taking on water, try to plug the leak if it's safe to do so, and activate any bilge pumps if available. Keeping the boat afloat and stable is crucial in emergency situations.

The next step is to alert the relevant authorities of the emergency. If you have access to a marine VHF radio, this should

If you do not have a marine VHF radio or it is not working, you can use other means of communication such as a mobile phone or distress flares. Make sure to have these items easily accessible and in working condition before setting out to sea. In the absence of any communication devices, you can try

Remember that in emergency situations, time is of the essence. Stay calm, act quickly and decisively, and follow these steps to ensure the safety of everyone onboard. By being prepared and knowing how to react in emergencies, you can navigate through challenging situations and make it safely back to shore.

SAILING THROUGH THE FINE PRINT

On behalf of the British Boating Magazine team, Amanda Thibaut spoke with Pantaenius to shed some light on the significance of boat insurance and uncovers the ins and outs of this often overlooked aspect of boating.

DO I NEED BOAT INSURANCE?

Absolutely, boat insurance is essential for protecting your investment and ensuring peace of mind. It covers potential financial losses from accidents, damage, theft, or unforeseen events. While not legally

mandatory in the UK, many marinas and local authorities require at least third-party liability insurance to use their facilities. Comprehensive policies like those from Pantaenius can cover a wide range of risks, providing security whether your boat is in use or laid up for the season

IF MY BOAT IS TRAILERABLE, IS IT COVERED WHILST IN TRANSIT BY ROAD?

Yes, if your boat is trailerable, it can be covered during road transit. Pantaenius

includes cover for loss or damage to the boat arising while it is in transit by road under their hull insurance policies, provided that the method of conveyance, including any towing vehicle and trailer, is suitable for the purpose.

It is important to note that your liability for any loss, damage or injury caused to a third party while towing or manoeuvring the trailer would be a matter for your motor insurers and would not be covered under your policy for your boat.

Trailers that permanently belong to the boat can be insured against loss or damage under the hull policy, as part of the insured property. With Pantaenius there is automatic cover for the trailer, up to a specified amount.

HOW DO I VALUE MY BOAT?

Accurately valuing your boat is crucial for insurance purposes. Pantaenius offers an Agreed Fixed Value policy, where the boat’s value is determined at the start of the policy, providing clarity and certainty. This agreed value should reflect the cost of replacing your boat with one of similar type, age, fit-out, and condition in the event of a total loss. To determine a fair and accurate value, it’s recommended to consult market values and possibly seek a professional valuation. Remember to regularly review and update the agreed value if necessary.

ARE MY ENGINES AND MACHINERY INCLUDING NAVIGATION AND RADAR EQUIPMENT COVERED UNDER MY INSURANCE FOR BREAKDOWN?

Yes, your engines and machinery are covered under our hull policy for breakdowns, but there are differences between the policies we offer for motor boats and sailing boats. For motor boats, we offer cover for mechanical breakdown of engines and machinery up to 5 years of age, with only the failed part excluded. This cover is limited to £20,000 per engine or item of machinery under our standard cover policy and is unlimited under our cover plus policy. For sailing boats, we provide main engine breakdown cover for engines up to 5 years of age, with a limit of £20,000 per engine and only the failed part excluded.

IF I LEND MY BOAT TO A FRIEND, WILL I STILL BE COVERED?

Yes. Pantaenius hull insurance also covers you when your boat is used by friends and family, so it is generally fine to lend your boat on a non-commercial basis, unless there is a specific requirement on your policy schedule that the yacht is only operated by skippers who insurers have approved.

DOES MY MOORING LOCATION AFFECT MY PREMIUM COST?

Yes, the location of your mooring can influence your insurance premium. Areas with higher risk factors, such as busy ports or regions prone to severe weather, may attract higher premiums. It’s advisable to discuss your mooring location with your insurer to understand how it impacts your policy. For example, a boat kept

in a marina is subject to different risks compared to a boat kept on a tidal estuary mooring.

WILL I GET CHEAPER BOAT INSURANCE IF I GAIN BOAT HANDLING QUALIFICATIONS?

While gaining boat handling qualifications is always beneficial and helps keep your skills fresh, it is not a requirement for our insurance cover.The Pantaenius underwriters are more concerned with your experience with similar-sized boats, itineraries, and sailing conditions than with formal boating qualifications.

MUST I HAVE A BOAT SURVEY IN ORDER TO GET BOAT INSURANCE?

Not always. A boat survey may be required depending on the age, value, and type of

your boat. A professional survey provides a detailed condition report, helping accurately assess risk and set policy terms. Often, owners already have a survey from when they purchased the boat, so no additional expense is necessary. Once Pantaenius accepts the risk, you likely won’t need another survey unless there’s a significant change in the boat’s condition that requires reassessment.

HOW MUCH DOES BOAT INSURANCE COST?

The cost of boat insurance varies and is based on a variety of risk

factors, including the owner’s experience, the type and age of the boat, its usage, and its sailing location. Additionally, insurers will consider the expected cost of settling claims. To get an accurate quote tailored to your specific needs, it’s recommended to fill out a detailed insurance enquiry form with Pantaenius.

The 440 Tiller is the Salcombe Flyer entry level ‘NON CONSOLE’ version of our popular Sport hull. This is ideal for both Inland and Coastal Waters and she is perfect for fishing or diving activities where more deck space is required. A good option too for commercial operators or sailing clubs as a lightweight, easily manoeuvrable and very stable safety / rescue craft.

The long shaft transom will take tiller control outboards up to 40hp and a portable 25L fuel tank. There’s also enough room for a battery between the two rear seating pods for running electric start or power trim and tilt engines / accessories and comfortable seating across the main bench and bow seating areas. We recommend an engine of 30hp to benefit from the hull lift and planing capabilities, or pottering about with an 8hp or even an electric motor for stealth fishing trips on local rivers.

A truly great boat, excellent sea keeping abilities and very stable which suits all the leisure needs of the family. She comes with all the standard equipment as our other larger boats in the range but with the benefit of a cheaper price tag and more economical running expenses. Price from £16,000 + VAT

The classic and the most popular of our Salcombe Flyer range is the 440 Sport. The standard package includes the very fuel efficient Tohatsu 40hp EFi Fourstroke outboard which pulls you out of the water in seconds and really is a true ‘Flyer’. Capable of carrying 5 persons in ultimate luxury (as do all our console orientated boats), plenty of watertight storage and small enough to be towed behind almost all family sized vehicles, she is also small enough to keep on your drive for easy launch and recover.

The Salcombe Flyer 480 Sport is our mid range sports boat with a seating capacity of 6. The wrap around bench seat and the bow area and console seating with watertight under seat storage is perfect for leisure, dive or spear fishing trips for the whole family or friends.

The sleek, lightweight and stable hull, powered as standard with a power tilt and trim Tohatsu 75hp EFi Fourstroke outboard is equally at home in sheltered Inland waters or more rough Coastal excursions. Safety features include 316 stainless steel hand rails and a boarding ladder for ease of use after a swim or dive.

£26,200 +

The Salcombe Flyer 530 Sport is an excellent handling and sea keeping craft. Comfortably seating 7 persons, it is perfectly suited for family days out around the British coastline. Hook up a tow rope on the optional ski pole and take the kids or adults out for a wakeboard or ski session. The lightweight hull, powered by an economical 75hp EFi Fourstoke Tohatsu will take you to a top speed of 35 knots with ease and will happily cruise 30 knots. Perhaps if you are more suited to ultimate performance why not opt for the 115hp outboard, where speeds of 50 knots+ can be obtained, definitely a ‘Flyer’! The 70L fuel tank means you can be out on the water all day without re-fuelling, combined with the watertight bow, under seat and forward console storage facilities you can pack all of your safety equipment and still have plenty of room for your family belongings.
