gold medallist Ben Ainslie who has competed in the Race on numerous occasions. Both will be back on the start line on June 25. The first start is at 0600.

Ian Lallow, winner in 1972 and 1973 with Sir Edward Heath who was Prime Minister at the time on board Morning Cloud II and III. Ian also built the two yachts.

Ian said: “It’s the Island Sailing Club’s Race and it takes a lot to organise every year. Ever since hanging up my oilskins I’ve tried to give to give something back.

“Whatever they ask me to do I will always try to help because it is an event that has given me so much.”

Also on hand to help launch the iconic images of the race that started in 1931 were Peter Nicholson, world famous boat builder and winner in 1964 on Rocquette, Hamish Wilson, 1965 winner on Firebrand and Peter Bruce author of ‘Solent Hazards’ and winner in 1978 on The Goodies.

Ernest Juer who won the bowl

in 1979 on Blizzard was joined by Julian Everitt who designed and built the yacht Green Onion for his late wife Julia Dane, the second female winner back in 1982.

Robin Aisher, Admiral of the Island Sailing Club and winner in 1985 on Yeoman XXV swapped memories of the race with Peter Morton who won in 1984, 1986 and 2001.

Also there were John McIntosh who won in 1998 on Dynamite and the Rogers family, who won three times in 2002, 2003 and 2006 with their previous family yacht Rosina of Beaulieu.

Sailors come from all over the UK and mainland Europe and from as far away as the USA to sail the 50 nautical mile course around the Island.

Starting on the famous Royal Yacht Squadron line in Cowes, the fleet races west to The Needles, around St Catherine's Point and Bembridge Ledge buoy, and then the fleet heads back into the Solent

to the finish line at Cowes.From a race that had its first outing

in 1931 when 25 yachts entered to today’s event that attracts more than 1,700 boats and 16,000 sailors, the race is the fourth the largest participation sporting event in the

UK. Only the London Marathon and the Great North and South runs are bigger.

Amateur sailors and professionals, first timers and old timers raised more than £100,000 for charity during the 2010 race.

NEWS IN BRIEFPlymouth’s UK firstPLYMOUTH Race Week will stage the UK’s first open mixed sportsboat handicap championship at the Royal Western Yacht Club regatta from 7 – 10 July. The new event is aimed at boosting numbers of entrants to the race week, sponsored by Barratt Homes. Yacht owners have been downsizing over recent years to get their racing kicks more cheaply and the tough economic climate is making conventional yacht racing numbers diminish at all major regattas. The mixed sportsboat course will guarantee an exciting start and challenging racing regardless of class entries.

Mooring takes shapeTHE £3.2 million development phase at Roydon Marina Village, Essex, is almost complete and will offer narrow boat and leisure cruisers the largest berthing location in the South East and the first on the River Stort for 100 years. The marina will use state of the art IT to manage the facility in the Lee Valley Park.

Early bird offers SAILORS are being encouraged to sign up online for this year’s Brewin Dolphin Scottish Series being held at Clyde Cruising Club from 27 - 30 May. The event attracted 133 boats last year and the club hopes to beat last year’s figure by offering early bird discounts to the West Coast regatta. www.brewindolphinscottishseries.com.

Ocean challengersSouthampton boat show sponsor, PSP, is moving two ocean rowing boats competing in the 3,100 mile Woodvale Indian Ocean Race from Australia to Mauritius. The boats, worth up to £100,000 each have to be moved from Southampton and be in Australia by 17 April for British teams in the ocean race.

Every picture tells a storyTHE 80-year-old race has also made history off the water.

THE “Round the Island in 80 Years’ Exhibition was officially launched from J.P. Morgan’s Great Hall in London on 1 March when organisers revealed that a long lost photo archive has been unearthed.

A photograph from the 1932 Race was found framed on the wall of a Cowes-based photographer leading to the re-discovery of the Kirk of Cowes archive and the unfolding of a fascinating story.

William Umpleby Kirk lived in Cowes, Isle of Wight from 1870 to 1928. He captured the first perfect

image of Queen Victoria’s yacht, earning him a Royal Patronage.

After his death, his son Edgar carried on the family name and captured images of the Race in the 1930’s and the exhibition has brought their archive back to life.

As well as featuring the images and stories of sporting, political and sailing legends who have competed in the race, the exhibition maintains the ethos of ‘A Race for all’ by showing the memories and pictures of the everyday sailors who make this race so unique.

Karren May, the photography archivist has managed the research

and production of the Exhibition.It involved digging deep into

the archives of many celebrated photographers including Beken of Cowes, Kirk of Cowes and Eileen Ramsay, looking back through 80 years of images, including glass plates.

The exhibition will next be shown on the Isle of Wight at the Quay Arts Gallery from 14 to 19 June and in the Race Village, Cowes Yacht Haven from 24 to 26 June over the race weekend.

Exhibition images are available to buy, with proceeds donated to the official race charity, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.

Facts and statsTHE Round the Island Race was first established in 1931.

2011 Race marks the 80th year of this iconic race being held.

The race starts and finishes in Cowes, Isle of Wight, the centre of British yachting.

The current monohull race record was set by Mike Slade (ICAP Leopard) in 2008 at 3.53.05.

The multihull race record still stands at Francis Joyon’s 2001 time of 3.08.29. Francis will be back on the start line in 2011 skippering IDEC. 

The race embraces first timers, families, amateurs and professionals competing at the highest level.

2010’s Race had 1,754 entries and 1,607 finished. This is the highest ever recorded number of finishers.

The largest entry figure for this Race so far stands at 1,875 boats, achieved in 2008.

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is the Official Race Charity for 2011 and 2012.

The Island Sailing Club is supported by Race Partners: Britannia Events, Haven Knox-Johnston, Henri Lloyd, Nautica Watches, Old Pulteney Whisky, Raymarine, Red Funnel, Small Luxury Hotels of the World  and Volvo Cars UK.

The 2011 Event is J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s seventh year as title sponsor and will retain title sponsorship up to and including 2012.

NEWS IN BRIEFRiding the airwavesSOUTH coast radio station, Wave 105, has teamed up with the two-day music festival, RIBFEST, as media partner with the aim of promoting the event. RIBFEST, sponsored by Skua RIBs, is a musical addition to the RIBEX boat show held at Cowes Yacht Haven, Isle of Wight, on 13-15 May.

Happy returnsALLOY Yachts has one boat ready to leave the shed and two more well underway so the team is ready to cut the plate for its next yacht, a 43.9m sloop scheduled to launch in late 2012. The owners have spent the last 14 years cruising the world on another Alloy Yacht - AY8 Eclipse which was built 20 years ago. They are returning to the yard for a bigger, more modern and faster version of Eclipse and it will be AY45, designed by Dubois Naval Architects.

International line upNINETEEN Swan 42s from 13 countries line up for the New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup – claimed to be the ultimate sailing contest among amateur competitors. The five top finishers from the inaugural 2009 event received automatic berths for this year’s competition from 10 - 17 September which is sponsored by Rolex. The race will be sailed on Rhode Island Sound and Narragansett Bay.

MORE than 80,000 people saw Powerboat P1’s new race boat, the P1-28SS, make its European debut at Autosport International in Birmingham.

The revolutionary powerboat was a big hit at the four-day show at the NEC with both trade visitors from the motorsport industry and the public.

Reigning P1 SuperStock champion John Wilson, who also picked up the title of URS Classic Formula Ford 2000, B Class, champion last year, and Team Flying Sparks, SuperStock

Rookie Team of 2010, are among the first to place an order for the P1-28SS.

P1’s commercial director, James Durbin says: “When you’re racing with the same boat, same engine and same performance, the only difference between winning and losing is pilot skill and competitive spirit on every course.”

This year’s P1 SuperStock Championship will include events in Cornwall, Jersey Plymouth and Lymington, with the champions being crowned in Liverpool in September.

Captain Calamity capsizes – againA SAILOR dubbed Captain Calamity after wrecking his 20-foot catamaran while attempting to surf Britain's biggest wave capsized his new boat on its maiden voyage.

Glenn Crawley, 55, flipped his previous catamaran 13 times when he tried to ride the giant Cribbar wave off Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall.

Taking to the water in a new

£1,500 pound catamaran, he capsized and onlookers called the rescue services.

Nr Crawley said he intends to continue

until he manages to conquer the Cribbar.

"As long as I'm not hurting anyone I think I'm free to carry on doing what I love. If I upset the system then they will just have to learn to live with it," he said.

THE dates of the next Classic Channel Regatta are June 25 to July 2. The regatta will follow the popular and successful course of the last regatta, starting in Dartmouth, then sailing to Paimpol and on to St Peter Port.

In Dartmouth there will be two days of racing in Start Bay on Saturday and Sunday before a Parade of Sail and the start of the Classic Channel Race to Paimpol on Monday afternoon.

Plans for the Round Brehat Island Race off Paimpol on Wednesday are for a morning race followed by a lunchtime picnic on the quay at Loguivy (on the mainland opposite Brehat) before an afternoon race back to Paimpol.

From Paimpol there will be the passage race up to St Peter Port on Friday and the Classic Round Sark

Race on the final Saturday. The regatta will be rounded off with a prizegiving party at the historic Castle Cornet at the entrance to the harbour.

The Round Brehat Race, the Paimpol to St Peter Port Passage Race, and the Round Sark Race will, together, form the new ‘Ronde des Iles’ (Dance of the Islands) Challenge of the Yacht Club Classique of France.

There are already almost 60 yachts pre-registered organisers are anticipating a record entry. So far 34 are British, 21 French and 2 Belgian. Most have taken part in one or more previous regattas.

One experienced competitor from Belgium describes it as “the world’s most enjoyable classic yacht regatta”. www.classic-channel-regatta.eu

£3 million better than gutting fishJUST a year after they were discovered singing for beer in a Cornish harbour pub, Port Isaac's shanty-singing Fisherman's Friends have a gold-selling album and have just signed contracts worth over £3 million.

The nine-man group of fishermen had sung for locals for 15 years until being discovered by record producer Rupert Christie while on holiday in Port Isaac.

Now they have a million pound contract with Universal Music and are to be the new faces of the Young's Seafood brand in a multi-million pound TV advertising deal.

They also won the Good Tradition Award at the BBC Radio 2 folk awards.

"It beats gutting fish on a freezing winter night!" said group leader John Cleave.

Tread carefully as you climb back on boardPLEASURECRAFT insurer Navigators & General has reminded boat owners to carry out simple checks before they get back on the water to avoid claims.

The severe winter is likely to have caused more undetected damage this year.

The company experiences an increase in claims in March and April as boats are launched or when owners return to find their boats have suffered damage during the winter.

N&G have seen a number of

sinking claims caused by something as simple as failing to replace a through hull fitting or re-attach an internal hose.

James Roberts Head of Navigators & General said: “The onus is on the boat owner to maintain their vessel to a seaworthy condition and ensure ongoing maintenance is completed.

“It is also important to remember that insurance cannot compensate for lack of maintenance and will not cover damage caused as a result of wear and tear.”

Ten simple checks Check all water carrying pipes for splits or leaks.

Have a yearly pre-season machinery maintenance check, by a boat engineer.

Agree a launch date in advance and arrange access to the boat if you cannot be there in person.

Do not start engines until all basic checks have been completed, including opening cooling water sea cocks.

Check fuel or gas lines and cables have not been trapped whilst stowing gear.

Do not assume anything will be checked or replaced, if in doubt ask

Check all hoses, skin fittings, through hull fittings and hose clips.

Check, and tape rigging split pins or securing bolts and guard rails

Ensure fire extinguishers, distress flares and lifejackets are still in date and adequate for your boat. Ensure navigation equipment is on board, up to date and working

Check sails for signs of vermin damage or rot.

Common problems■ Flooring, steps and handles not being properly re-attached after servicing.

■ Split pipes that only show themselves hours after a boat is launched.

■ Forgetting to return crucial safety and navigation equipment to the boat.

■ Through hull fittings not being replaced or hoses not properly re-connected, which can lead to sinking.

■ Rigging not securely attached after the mast is put in or securing pins not fastened or taped over for security, potentially leading to a dismasting.

■ Not checking engines are fully re-commissioned, which can let you down at a crucial moment or be damaged when started.

■ Underwater gear or log may be damaged on slings or strops when lifted

Westerly owners break recordsA RECORD 194 members attended the Westerly Owners’ Association annual meeting, arriving in Poole from all over the country as well as the Netherlands and the Channel Isles.

They handed in 494 out-of-date flares for disposal – by far the biggest total the RNLI’s Lifeboat College had ever had to deal with.

The biggest boat-owner group of its kind in the world, the Westerly Owners’ Association

was welcomed to the college by principal Geraldine Grainger.

Chris Jennings from Legion Security, part of the OCS Group, which runs the flare disposal facility on the RNLI site said: “We’ve been collecting out-of-date flares for nearly a year and had reached a total of 3,281. But this is by far the largest number we’ve accepted in one day.”

He continued: “We recognise that it is important for anyone

going to sea to have up to date and safe equipment as well as a safe and proper way to dispose of time expired pyrotechnics.

We share the same principles as the RNLI ‘Safety at Sea’ ethos. If you too want to drop off your old flares, please ring us on 01202 336336 to make an appointment.’

The Westerly Owners’ Association has more than 3,000 members and provides a network for past, present and future

owners of the British-built boats as well as organising rallies and social events.

Disposal of out of date flares at the Lifeboat College is available by appointment only. The service is available 7 days a week where possible.

For more information about choosing and using flares, visit the RNLI’s Sea Safety website at www.rnli.org/seasafety

Dockyard praise CHATHAM’S Historic Dockyard won high praise from government ministers who visited the trust that runs it.

Jeremy Hunt MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport and John Penrose MP, Minister for Tourism and Heritage were shown the work of Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust and its heritage based business model.

The trust was founded on the strategy of “preservation through re-use” which has led the dockyard to become widely recognised as the best example of imaginative cultural regeneration.

During his tour of the dockyard, Jeremy Hunt said; “The Historic Dockyard Chatham is a fantastic example of a site that has encouraged philanthropy, developed innovative partnerships between local and national institutions such as the National Maritime Museum and the Imperial War Museum, and also involved the local community in its plans.”

Bill Ferris, Chief Executive of

Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust said: “Their support is a huge encouragement to the whole team who work so hard to make this project the success that it is.”www.thedockyard.co.uk

Southampton dredgingTHE trailing suction dredger UKD Bluefin will dredge the main channels, swinging grounds and berths in Southampton water and the rivers Itchen and Test for about six weeks from 4 March.

Bed levelling will be carried out by the bed levelling tenders UKD Sealion and UKD Seahorse in berths and channels until approximately the end of April.

Mariners are requested to reduce speed when passing dredgers and should expect to pass the dredgers at any time between the upper reaches of Southampton Water and the Nab disposal area.

The dredgers will maintain a listening watch on VHF Channel 12 and mariners can request

movement information from Southampton VTS on Channel 12.

Save our seasTHREATS to oceans and the wildlife which inhabits them are highlighted in John Farndon’s Atlas of Oceans.

The book is a vibrant journey through the earth’s oceans and explains what must be done to save them with threats from over fishing, global warming, and pollution.

It is well illustrated and packed with maps and diagrams. The author studied Earth Sciences at Cambridge University and has been shortlisted four times for the Royal Society prize for science [email protected]

EXCELLENCE THROUGH EXPERIENCE

PUBLISHING

NEARLY 30 years ago thousands lined the harbourside to wave off the Royal Navy to do battle in the Falklands.

In 2011, on a chilly Saturday February morning, there was no better demonstration of how things have changed.

It may have been a lone warship. The crowd was enthusiastic but not huge. It was a grey winter’s day when few pleasure craft were on the water. But it was still a proud few minutes.

In bygone years the event would have been watched by dozens of grey painted battleships, carriers, cruisers destroyers, frigates, submarines, support ships and auxiliaries.

Now there was an aircraft carrier already without a role, one or two destroyers and a frigate or two, the Ministry of Defence police launches, the Gosport ferries, a couple of tugs

and our small sailing boat.The first we knew of the short story

we were about to share was when Warship York requested permission of the Queen’s Harbourmaster on channel 11 to sound its horn in salute of friends and families assembled on the round tower at the entrance to Portsmouth harbour.

The simple request to make this last touching link between sailors and their loved ones was of course granted.

Similar scenes have been repeated at the historic naval port for centuries. A helicopter flying overhead dangling a white ensign was a reminder that this was the 21st century.

It was all over in the time it took to see off a mug of tea. HMS York had merged with the mist over the Solent. The hardiest of the families lingered on the tower until she was no more than a smudge.

Few others had noticed as the type 42 destroyer set off to patrol the South Atlantic. But for those who did, a touch of emotion remained.

And while we live in an age of instant and mass communication the sequel was equally interesting. York’s planned patrol was routine and expected to be peaceful. Its crew can maintain contact with home rather than vanish across the high seas for months or even years as once they did.

The next we heard of HMS York was that instead of being in mid Atlantic en route for the Falklands, she was at Malta, delivering medical supplies and helping the evacuation of Libya.

Economic cuts means that Britannia might have difficulty ruling the waves but the men and women of the Royal Navy, and their loved ones, remain ready to do their duty as Nelson expected.

Doing their duty

NEWS IN BRIEFHoliday funTRAVELLING the world in the luxury of ocean liners or crossing oceans to find a new life on another continent is all part of a series of family - friendly themed events as part of the Waterline exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London during April. The exhibition of photography runs from 11 - 25 April to link with school holidays and includes workshops for youngsters of all ages to make their own souvenir to remember a family holiday and display it in the museum’s shop or make a package to remind them of friends and relatives who left on a ship never to return. These are just two of a host of activities at the museum.

New model at showLASERPerformance’s Vapor Optimist, the latest model in its range, will be on show at the 2011 Volvo RYA Dinghy Show at Alexandra Palace, London, on 5 and 6 March. Representatives from the Laser, Laser 2000, Laser Vago, Laser Pico and Bug Class Associations will also be there to provide information about events planned for the 2011 season.

THE Mary Rose Trust has released a new illustration of how the new Mary Rose Museum at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard will look when it opens to the public in the autumn next year.

Previously released interior images show the museum as it will look in 2016 when the conservation process is complete but the ship hull is about to enter the final phase of conservation as the sprays are turned off later this year and

visitors will have a unique look into the complexities of preserving the Tudor Warship.

The 17 years of treatment to conserve the ship’s timbers by spraying with polyethylene glycol comes to an end this year but it will still take another five years to dry out.

Head of Conservation, Professor Mark Jones said, “Our visitors in 2012 will be able to see this final phase of conservation by looking into a

hotbox and seeing both the ship and the process for removing the 100 tons of water the timbers now contain.

“This should all be gone by 2016, when we can take away the hotbox and reveal the ship completely. But even when she is fully dried out, the building’s temperature, light and humidity will be very carefully controlled to ensure that all the artefacts are preserved in perpetuity”.

The new image shows the Mary

Rose hull in her ‘hotbox’ with ducting running throughout. There will be windows through which visitors can view the hull until 2016.

Next year will mark 30 years since television showed the wreck of the Tudor warship break the surface of the Solent along with 19,000 artefacts.

The existing Mary Rose Museum remains open during construction.www.maryrose500.org

HMS Warrior 1860 set sail for new horizons at nearby Gunwharf Quays – not the 150-year-old iron-hulled warship but a 12-foot schematic drawing of the famous ship.

The magnificent artwork by Stephen Ortega depicting the interior of the ship has been re-housed from the offices at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard to the ‘Warrior’ boardroom at Gunwharf Quays, as part of the

partnership work between the centre and tourist attraction.

Ortega was a student at the Bournemouth & Poole College of

Art and Design when he created the picture and it is known to have either been commissioned by or donated to the Maritime Trust, who in turn donated it to the Warrior Preservation Trust in 1987.

Warrior represents a key moment in the evolution of warship design, between Nelson’s Victory of 1759, and Dreadnought in 1906.

She was the first ship to combine an iron hull, steam propulsion

and armour plating, and when launched was the largest and most powerful warship in the world. Her revolutionary design marked the start of a new era in naval architecture and maritime strategy.

The Ortega painting holds a special significance to the Gunwharf centre as from 1904 to 1924 HMS Warrior was moored as a training hulk to HMS Vernon which was previously on the site.

Warrior on the move

MARINE Industry Events, organisers of the 2011 Liverpool Boat Show, blamed the economic climate in the leisure marine sector for cancellation of the inaugural event.

MIE cited slow exhibitor take-up for the show planned for April and said the long term potential for a major boat show in Liverpool needed to be protected.

The show was launched 18 months ago and enjoyed strong support from many of the major marine brands.

But from November last year market sentiment about the economic outlook deteriorated rapidly affecting the confidence of boat manufacturers, dealers, smaller retailers and traders.

According to MIE the trend accelerated sharply in late January with contracted exhibitors citing a

commercially disastrous London Boat Show as the reason for withdrawing from Liverpool.

Rob Mackenzie, Managing Director of MIE, said: “The city council and its corporate partners, British Waterways, Liverpool Marina, Albert Dock Liverpool and the local sailing community have worked very hard to support this project.

“More than anything else, we’ve cancelled the show to protect the integrity of what we know to be the enormous long term potential for a major Boat Show in Liverpool.”

Councillor Wendy Simon, cabinet member for culture and tourism, said: “We have the building blocks in place to stage other exciting maritime events and to revive the Boat Show in the future when the national economic outlook recovers”

Discussions between LCC and other local partners have now started on whether an alternative event can be staged, but MIE will have no further involvement in this process.

Max Steinberg, chief executive of Liverpool Vision, said: “Strong foundations for future large maritime events have been laid.”

Nick Powell, Marketing Director of Sealine said: “We remain committed to developing relationships and business in

the region and our Sealine Experience Roadshow, will be visiting several marinas in the area in May and June as part of the 2011 tour. www.sealine.com/sealineexperience

Other maritime events taking place in the city in 2011 are On the Waterfront – the opening of the Liverpool Museum, including the Centenary of Liver Building, 22-24 July and The River Festival, 8-15 September.

Show chiefs blame economy

Show figures boost industryTHE caravan, motorhome, camping and outdoor industry received a boost as Ocean Media Group’s flagship event, the Boat & Caravan Show bucked the exhibition trend.

Nearly 87,000 visitors attended the 50th anniversary show – a four per cent increase – and the new Outdoor Leisure Show attracted 35,240 visitors. More than 25 per cent of exhibitors rebooked on site for 2012.

NEWS IN BRIEF Ayton ends quest for London goldSAILING’S double Olympic gold medallist Sarah Ayton announced retirement from the sport with immediate effect, ending her quest for an historic third Olympic title at the London 2012 Games.

The 30-year-old star who is married to Olympic bronze medal-winning windsurfer Nick Dempsey began her 2012 campaign in earnest last April, nine months after giving birth to the couple’s first son Thomas. She has been sailing for Skandia Team GBR in the two-person 470 class with Beijing Olympian Saskia Clark.

Ayton, who claimed Olympic glory in the Yngling class in Athens with Shirley Robertson and Sarah Webb, and again in Beijing with Webb and Pippa Wilson, was striving to become the first British woman to win three consecutive Olympic golds at her home Games in London.

She said: “To succeed at the highest level as an Olympic athlete you ultimately have to be pretty single-minded, and that’s something that just doesn’t sit happily when you’re a mum as well.

“Full engagement is what makes

the difference between being average and being great.

“I’ve really enjoyed sailing with Saskia Clark, who’s a fantastic talent,” Ayton added.

“I’m upset to be letting her down. I owe both Saskia and our coach Joe Glanfield huge thanks for the time and effort they have put into

our programme.”RYA Olympic Manager Stephen

Park said: “It’s disappointing to be losing someone of Sarah’s calibre and track record from our programme, especially at this stage of the cycle when she and Saskia had been progressing well towards their goals.”

Little ship could be saved by lotteryTHE last "little ship" to leave Dunkirk as part of the 1940 allied rescue operation and which spent the next 60 years rotting in Torquay harbour, could be saved by a £320,000 Lottery grant.

The 40-foot Lady Cable motor launch transported a total of 630 soldiers from the Dunkirk beaches. Now the Lady Cable Trust has been told its bid for Lottery funding could be successful.

Built by Morgan Giles in 1924, Lady Cable was the only Torquay boat to take part in the Dunkirk evacuation and is now in a very bad state of repair. Fully restored she would be used for educational purposes.www.ladycabletrust.co.uk

A right Royal blessingLIFEBOAT naming ceremonies are always significant occasions, but few have attracted as much attention as the one that took place at Trearddur Bay lifeboat station, Anglesey.

The world’s media mingled with more than 1,000 RNLI supporters outside the lifeboat station as volunteers waited to greet two very special guests: Prince William and Catherine Middleton, who are due to be married on April 29.

As an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot based at nearby RAF Valley, Prince William was invited to name a new Atlantic 85 lifeboat that is now being used by his fellow sea rescuers at Trearddur Bay.

Speaking at the naming ceremony, he acknowledged the relationship that had developed over the years between his squadron and the lifeboat crew.

Other speakers included Marilyn Archer from the RNLI Leominster Branch, who handed over the lifeboat into the care of the charity. She was representing the Herefordshire volunteers and supporters who raised funds for the lifeboat, along with local fundraisers. She said: ‘It’s amazing to think that the pennies and pounds from our events and collections, together with the efforts of the people of Herefordshire, will now be saving priceless lives.’

When it came to naming the lifeboat, Miss Middleton prepared

to pour champagne over the bow of the Atlantic 85 as Prince William said: ‘It now gives us great pleasure to name this new lifeboat Hereford Endeavour. May God bless her and all that sail in her.’

The Atlantic 85 is the most advanced inshore lifeboat produced by the RNLI. She can reach speeds of up to 35 knots and is fitted with a

radar system, radio direction- finding equipment and a sophisticated chart plotter to aid search and rescue operations, particularly in low visibility.

She can carry more crew and casualties than her predecessor.

After the lifeboat was named, Christopher Pritchard, Senior Helmsman, called for three cheers

for the special guests before taking part in a demonstration of the lifeboat's capabilities.

He said: ‘There was a lot of pressure to get everything right in front of our royal guests and the public, but the boat was great and the crew are all highly trained – I can rely on them during a difficult rescue, so I knew there’d be no problem today.’

NEWS IN BRIEFCalled to sick crewmanThe volunteer crew of Shoreham RNLI lifeboat launched on 24 February following a reports that a fisherman had fallen ill aboard a vessel 12 miles south of Hove. The Tamar class all-weather lifeboat Enid Collett launched at 7.20pm and, when the crew located the fishing boat, it was thought a 60-year-old man aboard had suffered a heart attack. But it emerged the fisherman had fallen on the deck of the boat earlier that day and suffered suspected broken ribs. The lifeboat crew got him aboard and gave him oxygen before powering back to the lifeboat station where he was taken to hospital.

Stranded fishermenTYNEMOUTH RNLI volunteers rescued three fishermen on 25 February after their boat’s propeller became entangled in ropes leaving them stranded at sea. At 11.20am the Tynemouth RNLI all-weather lifeboat Spirit of Northumberland launched following a distress call. The lifeboat arrived at Marsden Bay five minutes after launching. The stranded vessel and three crew are towed to South Shields.

QUEEN ANNE’S BATTERYAT

AN

READING the article about Calypso in the February edition of All at Sea reminded me of the hard work that went into building the greener Contessa 32 last year.

She was the first entry to be processed for this year’s JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race and because of her eco-credentials and beautiful design, is still grabbing the headlines.

She embodies The Green Blue’s approach to sustainability, definitely not burn bright and fade but focused, high impact and all about making lasting change - much like the environmental improvements we’ve helped many sailing and yacht clubs to make over the last five years.

We have had so many requests for help with sustainability from clubs that for the past two months I have been busy putting together our new Green Guide for Clubs to help them get started.

The guide is a really easy but informative read, packed full of top tips, quick wins and case studies of clubs that have already made environmental changes and are enjoying the benefits.

Launched at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show at Alexandra Palace, London, by Vendée Globe Skipper and The Green Blue Ambassador, Mike Golding (14.45 RYA Stand Panorama Hall), the Guide covers the current environmental issues facing clubs and offers practical solutions on how to get started.

From setting up a recycling scheme and running a greener regatta to oil storage regulations and saving energy, the new guide, aimed at sailing, yacht and motor clubs, will also demonstrate how to save valuable funds that could be better spent on more events or new equipment for members.

Also at this year’s RYA Volvo Dinghy Show was the presentation of the Volvo Eco Challenge Awards by Volvo Eco Challenge Ambassador Chris Packham.

The scheme was launched in 2008

to help watersports clubs reduce their impact on the environment. Over that time, almost 40 clubs have benefitted from support of grants averaging £1,000 each, enabling them to set up a wide range of projects from recycling schemes to awareness of wildlife and biodiversity.

A slight change of format this year will see a top prize of £5,000 being awarded to Helensburgh

Sailing Club from Argyll and Bute, for a fantastic, innovative and comprehensive project to capture rainwater in containers using recycled materials. The rainwater will then be used to flush toilets and wash down boats – saving money on the supply and use of treated water for non-drinking uses.

So if you would like to get your club off to a good start on its journey to become more sustainable, why

not pick up your free copy of the new Green Guide Club for Clubs from the RYA stand at the Dinghy Show or contact The Green Blue on 02380 604227.

Show goes eco friendly

Our World is WaterWhilst a bottle of bubbly certainly has very

of products is the pinnacle of today’s

antifouling technology — formulated to

deliver maximum antifouling performance

in even the harshest fouling environments.

And because Micron products are polishing

paints, they actually become smoother over

time, reducing drag and fuel consumption,

leading to a significant reduction in carbon

dioxide and sulphur dioxide emissions.

It gets better. Because the polishing action

reduces build-up, when the time does come

for you to re-apply, you’ll spend less time

sanding. You just can’t buy a better

antifouling. And that’s certainly worth

raising a glass to.

IT WAS that time of year again. Powerboat racing’s crème de la crème gathered at the De Vere Hotel in Bournemouth for the RYA Powerboat Racing Ceremony.

With more than 200 people, many of them familiar faces, it’s like one big family party and a real testament to the skills of the powerboat racing champions as many of them return year after year.

In 2010 UK powerboat racers secured 58 national champions, seven world titles, 24 national records and 12 new world records.

More than 40 presentations were made throughout the evening, including some very special awards.

Among the champions were Mark Williams, World Formula 4 Champion, Jordan Muckles, three times World Formula Future Champion in parallel slalom, Manoeuvring and Class 4, James Bushell, World IJSBA Pro-Am Runabout Stock Champion who also received three British Jet Sport

Titles in Runabout GP, Runabout Stock 4-Stroke and Runabout Limited.

Sarah Treseder the RYA Chief Executive joined John Puddifoot and me on stage to make the presentations. It was refreshing to see the head of the RYA genuinely interested and excited about the powerboating fraternity. We are very much the minority in RYA world but Sarah is destined to change that!

On behalf of the UK Offshore Boating Association the RYA Awarded John Iddon the UKOBA Sword of Honour and Lifetime achievement Award – extremely well deserved.

Circuit Racing’s Julian Codling who picked up awards for National Circuit Outboard Champion, Outboard Sprint O:250 Champion as well as a staggering world and national O250 Record at 112.27mph, was also awarded the BJ Noone Award.

Burt Noone Junior lost his life taking part in an OSY National Championship in 1995. So that something positive could come out of his death his parents decided to award a trophy in memory of

their son. The award is very special and is presented when a racer has achieved something extraordinary.

Round Britain 2012 were awarded the Offshore Sponsors Trophy for their help with the offshore marathon series and for sponsoring

the fantastic 2010 British Powerboat Festival. With out their support the event may not have gone ahead.

Chief Scrutineer and Measurer Rob Beakhust was awarded the Tony Needell Award for outstanding service to the sport. Years of

dedication and hard work made Rob a truly worthy recipient.

There were so many other deserving recipients that I can’t possibly tell you about them all. But it shows what a strong powerboating nation we are.

WHEN you see a windsurfer planing along at a rate of knots, then coming off the water all smiley and buoyantly bedraggled, it just looks so cool.

Then you wander off all impressed at how other people know how to do it and don’t give it another thought – until the next time.

Now there is no excuse as National Windsurfing Week in May is the time to experience first-hand what it is like to be that person.

Granted on your first go you may not quite capture the speed and the effortless ease that has impressed you all those times but, by taking advantage of one of your local opportunities to get involved during the week it may not be long before you do.

National Windsurfing Week gets underway on Sunday 1 May and for eight days windsurfing schools, clubs, shops and individuals across the UK will be doing everything they can to help people like you get a taste for, and fall in love with, their sport.

By visiting the event website you can see what activities are taking place near and take advantage of whatever is on offer on your doorstep.

Each organisation is responsible for arranging its own events and activities so some centres may be running free taster sessions, some may be doing discounted tuition,

some shops might be offering deals on kit and some simply encouraging current windsurfers to bring a friend with the friend sailing for free.

Some will also be running competitions for different levels of experience while others may be offering incentive schemes to encourage current windsurfers to become instructors.

There will be heaps going on and if there was ever a time to step on to a board it is now.

National Windsurfing Week 2011 was due to be officially launched by Skandia Team GBR RS:X star and Olympic bronze medallist Nick Dempsey at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show at Alexandra Palace, London.

Last year a quarter of our all windsurfing centres in Britain got involved in National Windsurfing Week.

As soon as a centre decides to get involved it needs to let the RYA know so it can be added to the map on the website. The map is already looking pretty clustered.

Unlike many other nominated ‘weeks’ that are organised for commercial reasons, National Windsurfing Week was the brainchild of a group of windsurfing enthusiasts, led by Sean Blackmore and Phil Luckhurst, purely motivated by their love of the sport.

The idea was born out of a discussion on an online windsurfing forum when they grew tired of listening to people complaining about how windsurfing was going down the pan. They decided to do something about it.

From there it developed into a major movement to inject new life into windsurfing. Although this year has seen Sean take a backseat because of work commitments, the RYA with Boards magazine and Spartan Wetsuits have taken on the mantle of managing the website and helping centres and other participating groups promote what they are up to for the week.

Some centres have come up with some really innovative ways to raise awareness of their National Windsurfing Week activities. Last year Astbury Sailsports in Cheshire managed to get their local radio station down to broadcast live from one of their events at the start of the week so people still had plenty of time to take advantage of Astbury’s ‘Half Price Tuition All Week!’ offer. The presenters also went to Astbury the week before to learn themselves.

One of the most popular elements of National Windsurfing Week are the Windsurfing 4 Cancer Research ‘Sunrise Sunset’ fundraising events which take place across the UK,

involving many RYA centres, clubs and Team15 teams.

Under the slogan, ‘More than just a day at the beach’ the fun day is all about people setting their own challenges to raise money for W4CR, the charity formed to promote cancer awareness among fellow windsurfers and, through specific projects, raise funds for cancer research, education and support.

The big challenge for 2011 is to get more than 1,000 windsurfers on the water at midday.

This year’s ‘Sunrise Sunset’ day will have an added poignancy as W4CR founder David Tuttlebee passed

away after long battle with cancer in September 2010.

The inaugural ‘David Tuttlebee Memorial Trophy’ has been created and will be awarded to the Team15 youth windsurfing club which puts on the best fun fundraising event.www.w4cr.orgwww.nationalwindsurfingweek.orgwww.dinghyshow.org.uk

London and back – via the world

FOR nearly three years I have been tipping a young lady from Rutland to be one, if not the, greatest female adventurer this country has ever produced.

If only it were possible to buy shares in a person, I would be on to a winner with Sarah Outen.

Our paths first crossed when she volunteered to be one of my crew when I sailed around Great Britain in 2007. At the time, aged only 21, Sarah was a major component in my team.

As strong as a (lady) Ox, bright as a button but, above all, so completely focussed on her tasks, she was a ball-of energy which, at times, kept my project on the rails.

She talked then of her ambition to row an Ocean, the Indian Ocean.

Older, supposedly wiser heads, questioned her pedigree, especially

having had no experience in Ocean rowing. But you could see in her eyes she was going to make the attempt, whatever the advice. Yet you also knew she would do her homework and was not in the business of failure.

On August 3, 2009, Sarah stepped ashore in Mauritius. Her journey across the Indian Ocean from Perth, Australia, had taken her 124 days and she had rowed her boat, Serendipity, or “Dippers” as she became known, a distance of 4,180 miles.

Aged only 23 years, it was incredible feat of endurance and a testament to her indomitable spirit. And where does this motivation come from?

Sarah’s dad, Derek Outen, died in 2006 of rheumatoid arthritis and Sarah makes no excuse for citing

her father as the inspiration for her adventures.

“If he could live with the pain of that terrible disease for so many years, then who am I to complain about a little discomfort on my journey,” said Sarah.

It seems that ocean rowing is fast becoming as commonplace as polar expeditions these days with sponsors, the public and the mainstream media suffering from polar or rowing fatigue. You need only open your Sunday papers to see another Union flag being hoisted at some Pole or mountain summit.

Differentiating yourself or your project is getting increasingly harder for adventurers. But Sarah doesn’t set out to chase headlines. To assume that is to not know Sarah. She has that Shackleton Spirit that seems to genetically embed itself in some of us Brits.

It is the spirit of adventure that drives her, not column inches. So what next for Sarah? She already holds two Guinness records for her row across the Indian Ocean; the first, and only, woman to row across the India Ocean solo.

Sarah has decided to think outside of the box and has, in a delightful Phileas Fogg fashion, decided to name her new adventure, “London2London; via the world”.

Using only human power, her adventure will begin by kayaking down the Thames to France. From there, Sarah will cycle across Europe and Asia.

She will then kayak through the Japanese islands before starting her first major row, from Japan to the USA, west to east, across the northern Pacific.

Having cycled across America, she

will then begin the last leg of her journey, another row, west to east, from the USA to the UK across the northern Atlantic.

It took me less than two minutes to write Sarah’s route. It will take her an estimated two and a half years to complete her journey. The statistics are huge and are matched only by the logistics.

Sarah’s adventure begins at London Bridge on April 1. No joke! We wish her well.www.sarahouten.co.uk

AT the annual RYA conference for instructors and examiners we had a number of interesting talks but it was GPS reliability that interested me most.

I am aware of the need for power, refraction of signals through the ionosphere, failure on the part of satellites from time to time and the good old nonsense of erroneous information being put into the system.

What I needed reminding of though was:■ The power of the transmitter on the satellite is only 100 watts with a range of just 20 kms.■ Stars can emit a burst of power which has swamped all GPS receivers worldwide.■ GPS signals can be spoofed to give false information.■ All telecommunications depend on GPS signals.■ Solar flares can disrupt the system

seriously. This will affect GMDSS as well as radar and gyro compasses.

Added to what we have been reading about cyber warfare in the papers, the lesson from all this is that we should keep up a plot on paper charts and consider an alternative system. Apparently the Americans are diversifying into eLORAN as are a number of other countries.

Turn off cocksAND on the subject of fire, if you had a minor fire in the engine compartment would you have a means of turning off the raw water inlet seacock without opening up the access hatch?

On my last boat I had three seacocks in the engine compartment, raw water for the engine and two cockpit drains.

I got round the problem in two ways: I wrapped up all the flexible pipework with fire proof material to a level well above the waterline and also had exterior handles attached to the seacocks so that I could close everything off in an emergency.

Top gearI HAVE just invested in a Standard Horizon HX 851 hand held VHF/DSC set, and am most impressed with it (no, I have no financial interest).

It is waterproof, floats, has a built in GPS, a strobe light and actually has a DSC alarm capability. Much will depend on the height of the antenna for range but in my view, this radio is a real step forward.

Prime seatsUp to 9 J class yachts will be racing round the Isle of Wight on 21 July 2012 in a re-enactment of the 100 Guinea cup raced in 1851.

I am chartering a 700 ton vessel which will carry 300 passengers from which we can watch the race. I will be providing bacon butties, a slap up lunch and afternoon tea. There will be a bar.

If you are interested, please send me an email to say you would like to learn more. [email protected]

Paper remains a crucial back up

IF you have your boat out of the water it is a good time to check over your fire equipment.

I was on a boat last season which did not have an automatic fire extinguisher. The hole through which one was meant to squirt a depressant was positioned in the companionway access.

The only type of fire extinguishers on board were similar to the one in the photo. If a powder fire extinguisher is stowed in the horizontal position,

the contents can solidify and if not given a good shake every now and again could discharge a quantity of useless gas when the lever is depressed rather than the powder.

The lesson is to ensure that if you are using that type of fire extinguisher in an engine compartment, make sure you can hold it vertically. Better still either have an automatic extinguisher or one with a rubber hose which can be stuck through the hole.

THIS thoroughly modern take on an essential skill for anyone going to sea concentrates on the tackle needed for all types and sizes of boat, explains manual and hydraulic systems for handling anchors, and demonstrates with helpful photos and diagrams safe and efficient anchoring techniques in all conditions – wind, strong tide, shallow water, rocky bottoms and deep bays – all of which require particular techniques that are covered in detail.

Once considered something of a black art, anchoring is coming back into vogue as a free alternative to paying costly marina fees to berth overnight. Being competent and confident at anchoring offshore also allows boaters to anchor off a peaceful beach, providing the ideal opportunity for the family to go swimming from the boat, fish, or just row round – a better distraction for the kids than searching the marina for an Internet café.

With detailed diagrams and instructive photographs of both sail and power boats of all sizes under anchor, this helpful guide

takes the reader step-by-step through the entire anchoring process in a clear and helpful way.

Bobby Schenk is a highly regarded sailing writer and lecturer, particularly on topics relating to offshore sailing. He is a vastly experienced sailor and has circumnavigated the globe several times, once without using any modern navigational instruments. He is the author of many practical titles on sailing and seamanship.

By Bob Satchwell.WE all have our different reasons for choosing where to berth our precious boats.

I would wager yours are as obscure, possibly as irrational and most probably as forgotten as mine.

No doubt that similar to many a boater, way back in the mists of time, my marina chose me rather than the other way around.

It was certainly a long time ago that I first came across Port Solent. It had only just opened – this is its 21st anniversary year – and my earliest memory is of arriving late on a Friday to join a boat for a weekend in the Solent.

Work had delayed my departure and the crew generously decided to sail up Portsmouth Harbour for a run ashore while they awaited my arrival.

It offered an easy berth and short night sail for an inexperienced crew. Portchester creek can be a bit of a challenge in the dark even for those of us who know it well. It is easy to

think you know it all when you are so close to home. But if you think ahead and concentrate, it is interesting rather than worrying.

For me, after a two-hour drive, it offered safe parking for the weekend and a short stroll to a most acceptable pub with a choice of places to eat to suit any taste.

The shops and the restaurants and bars have grown and changed since those early days but there is certainly plenty of choice. That makes it as attractive to visitors as it was for us, especially when the children were enjoying the “are we nearly there?” stage.

If there was a blow or heavy rain they could find plenty to do searching for crabs or learning to row a dinghy. Now there is a cinema complex and a gym on tap in addition to a huge piece of grassland that is ideal for flying kites or simply running off surplus energy.

All the attractions of Portsmouth’s historic dockyard are close by along with its other museums. And don’t

forget that the entrance to the marina is watched over by majestic Portchester Castle with its Roman and Norman architecture standing guard.

But much of this is mere window dressing. Back to the real reasons for berthing at Port Solent.

Number one has to be security. You have to negotiate a lock to get in or out. The marina team keep watch too and on one occasion rescued my boat from sinking when a seacock failed.

In fact they were so efficient they had the vessel out of the water before the engine was completely flooded or the interior ruined. If they had been a bit slower insurance might have paid for a complete new engine instead of just a new bottom end. Well you can’t have everything!

Second is convenience. It is minutes away from the M27 and therefore the whole of the motorway network.

Some might say that the 35 or 40 minutes of hard motoring to reach the open Solent is a waste of good sailing time, In fact it is a good time to check systems and to “feel” the boat again after perhaps weeks or months away from the water. It is ideal for slowing down from motorway time to sea time.

Portsmouth also has one of the most fascinating harbours. There is always something interesting to see. It is busy enough to remind you about rules of the road and avoiding other craft.

After 20 years with only a brief gap of a couple of seasons in Chichester harbour and with one boat bought and taken over at Port Solent, it is clear that I was the chosen one, rather than the marina.

FOR those who don’t know, Boat Jumbles are marine markets where you can buy new and second hand watersports-related items at huge discounts.

With more than 30 regional events throughout the UK in 2011, there is bound to be one close to you. So not only can you save fuel by staying local, reducing your carbon footprint in the process, but if you purchase any used items at one of our shows you will be helping the environment by recycling unwanted marine items and reducing landfill.

Having attended and run boat jumbles for the last 33 years I am still amazed when I meet fellow boating enthusiasts who don’t know what a boat jumble is and have never attended one.

Where have they been I ask myself? I explain that this special sector of the marine industry is where private and trade sellers come together at

large one day “marine markets” with 50-plus stands to offer new and used boating bargains.

I tell them they’ve evolved from an annual event at Beaulieu Motor Museum to 36 regional UK shows in 2011 overseen by The Boat Jumble Association to ensure consistent high standards.

I tell them spring is one of the best times to attend a boat jumble as you will find deals on fitting out materials from stainless steel screws to antifouling, fiberglass, hardwoods, rigging, ropes, chandlery, hatches, deck fittings, outboards and general chandlery etc.

In these difficult economic times I stress attending is a must as you should save your entry fee on your first purchase and you will have a great day out soaking up all that nautical atmosphere.

Boat Jumbles have evolved from an eclectic mix of irregular marine

sales, auctions, sailing club “bring and buys” and private individuals’ garage sales all varying in size and quality into an annual coordinated industry of well run regional events promoted by the UK Boat Jumbles Association.

The shows are run by a wide range of organisers under a code of practice which ensures that they consistently offer good value for money to the public, exhibitors and organisers alike.

The catalyst was undoubtedly the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in Hampshire which in 1978 in the wake of their internationally successful Beaulieu Auto Jumbles turned their attention to the marine sector and held the first ever Beaulieu Boat Jumble.

Their professional events marketing team together with a significant marketing budget and a dream location in the New Forest

close to the busy yachting Mecca of the Solent ensured that the event was a phenomenal success. Indeed growing in size and stature each year and attracting hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of attendees it soon became another international hit attracting boating people from all over Europe.

However being held only once a year meant that if you were looking for a specific part for a now obsolete boat or engine you only had one

chance per season to obtain it. Other event organisers spotted

there was a demand for more similar events around the country and the Boat Jumbles industry gradually evolved from six events per year in the early 1980’s to the 30-plus shows we have today.

We are indebted to Beaulieu Boat Jumble, which remains to this day the “Flagship” event of the Boat Jumble calendar and is always held on the last Sunday in April.

WITH money hard to come by and environmental issues to the fore, there has never been a better time to attend a Boat Jumble. Chris Chaddock, one of the UK’s most prominent jumble organisers, explains what they are all about.

WE all know it’s great fun getting out on the water but it’s important to stay safe by making sure we don’t collide with other boats.

Luckily, there’s a highway code for the water just like for on land that isn’t too tricky to master. Here are just some of the basics and remember boats don’t have brakes! Keep your eyes peeled for

other boats… remember to look behind you too! Keeping a proper lookout is the most important rule and it can help you to plan ahead and avoid any accidents.

It’s also important to control your speed so that you have more time to plan ahead, especially when you’re in a busy area. Don’t panic! The rules for

giving way are really easy to remember…a boat on port tack must keep clear of a boat on starboard tack.

It’s important to always be a bit cautious, so if you’re on starboard tack, always stay on guard because the other boat might not have seen you. Sometimes you might be unsure, so always assume the other boat is on starboard and keep clear.

If both boats are on the same tack, the windward boat – the boat travelling in the direction of the wind – must keep clear and give way. Power gives way to sail.

When a boat is travelling by power - if they have an engine or even if they’re rowing or paddling, they should always give way to the boat using a sail. Obviously

there are some exceptions, so if in doubt just keep out of the way! If you find yourself sailing

on a river or narrow channel the rules are simple – stick to the right side and if you ever need to overtake another boat, make sure you leave plenty of room and keep out of its way. Easy!

You can learn more about avoiding collisions and much more from the RYA’s practical handbook Go Sailing by Claudia Myatt! Go to www.rya.org.uk

Puss

By Paul Antrobus

In the drink

REAL ales found their niche as the brewing industry consolidated and enthusiasts began producing hand-made distinctly, flavoursome beers in micro breweries.

Independent gin distilling has developed with similar aficionados as a reaction to the consolidation of gin distilling into fewer companies and a similar lack of variety in flavour and character.

There are now more than 50 ‘boutique’ gins to be had – at a premium price, though.

London gin, by definition, must feature juniper plus other ‘botanicals’, coriander, orange peel cinnamon and orris root being common to virtually all of them.

Mainstream brands may have derived from hundred-year-old founding family recipes, but the family has long since disappeared into a corporate giant. Boutique gins are at the creative start line again, the recipe being an individual’s dream of what is perfection in a gin and achieved with extra, often unique, botanicals added to the usual ones.

No expense is spared in pursuit of product quality and flavour and the premium prices reflect this honourable aim.

Sipsmith, launched in 2008, is one such. The founding enthusiasts, Fairfax Hall and Sam Galsworthy, call themselves ‘sipsmiths’ like ‘goldsmiths’ to explain the name and their passion.

Theirs is a real London gin, distilled and bottled in London at a former micro brewery in Nasmyth Road – even the address is quirky, Hammersmith, West London.

Their botanical obsession means using Macedonian juniper, Bulgarian coriander and Seville orange peel and their water is transported from the Lydwell spring, one of the Cotswold starting springs for the River Thames which flows past a block away from their door.

All distillers swear the shape of the copper still itself affects the end result. Many adore an old one. Sipsmith decided to have a new one made to their own design, London’s first new still for 190 years.

The result is smooth, 41.6 per cent abv, with full ‘proper’ gin flavour, strong juniper and a hint of liquorice and citrus.

As with all boutique gins, Sipsmith is not on sale everywhere. I bought it at Majestic for £23 and they say it is also stocked at Waitrose, Harvey Nichols and Fortnum & Mason. Worth the premium for something special at home or to take on board.

For best flavour, do not dilute too much. Take it as a martini – or max 50:50 on the tonic.

A new gin in town (Almost) boutique mixersBOUTIQUE gin distillers also have the obsession that, having made a perfect gin, it should not be let down by a less-than-perfect tonic.

Some even make their own. Others specify a brand. All prefer you to use a fresh, small-size bottle rather than a litre.

One in favour is Fever Tree at £1.75 per 200ml ‘split’ and £2.39 for a 500ml screw-top bottle at Waitrose. It has no artificial sweeteners and natural quinine ingredients from small suppliers on the Rwanda/Congo border.

Test without any gin to taste the difference. Fever Tree say it will improve all gins, boutique or not.
