On 02 December 2009, famous actors Brendan

Gleeson and Don Cheadle took time out of a

busy filming schedule to drop in and say hello to

Wicklow RNLI lifeboat volunteers and to get a tour

of the lifeboat station. The two stars had been in

Wicklow filming scenes at the East pier beside the

lifeboat station for a new movie called ‘The Guard’.

Irish actor Brendan Glesson also starred in the

drama ‘The Lifeboat’ in the early 1980s, filmed at St

Davids in Wales and American actor Don Cheadle

is well known from many films including ‘Hotel

Rwanda’ and ‘Oceans 11’.

Tommy Dover Wicklow volunteer lifeboat press

officer said: “The two actors were filming beside

the lifeboat station and we invited them in to

look around. They were very friendly and happily

posed for photos with the lifeboat crew. We took

great pride in showing them the lifeboat station

and our two lifeboats. Wednesday night is the

onshore training night for the lifeboat crew, so

plenty of the station’s volunteers were present for

the surprise visit.”

Topical Talk WIth JANE RICKARD

It’s the start of a new year and for many,

after the hype of the festive season,

things can seem a little cold and

miserable, especially with the start of the

season still a few months away. So why

not treat yourself to something special?

Now we’re not saying go out and buy

yourself a new boat, although feel free to

do so if you wish, but why not see if you

can find a good deal online for that piece

of kit you’ve been hankering after for

months. There will be plenty of New Year

sales going on and with new equipment

being introduced for 2010, some dealers

will be offering great deals to make

way for new stock. If you want to stick

to your budget, though, try not to get

distracted by all the latest kit that will also

be on sale.

If you’ve still got some maintenance or

practical jobs to carry out on your boat,

now is a good time to get them finished

- see this month’s Practical Monthly

(p103) for tips about what you could be

getting up to. You certainly don’t want

to end up rushing them when the new

season begins. Besides, it’s a chance to

spend a bit of time with your boat, even

if it’s not out on the water. Spring will be

here again very soon and, with a little

love now, your boat will be all the better

prepared when the time comes.

VALIANT V620On a gorgeous, misty, muddy Essex morning, Alex Smith heads for the new waterfront premises at IBS International for a look at the Valiant’s striking 620 Cruiser.

It’s a great pleasure visiting IBS International’s

new headquarters at North Fambridge in

Essex. For a start, it ticks all the right boxes

from a practical perspective. It has a slipway,

a storage yard, a workshop and a pub

virtually on site, plus a small, friendly marina

just a hundred yards upstream and access to its

own pontoons, accessible at the lowest of low

water springs. But the real appeal consists not in

practicalities like these but in the fact that this place

is about as perfect a slice of estuary Essex as you

are likely to see.

When I arrive at about 0730, the tide is out -

extremely out, in a way that only Essex seems to

manage, exposing huge, heavy beds of east coast

mud. A mist hangs low and thick and a pale sun

glows weakly through the haze. Gulls and wading

birds are already wandering around quietly, as if

nursing hangovers and the silence of the place is

palpable, with not the slightest noise either from

people or traffic. In fact the only sound is a gentle

lick as the water begins to flood the Crouch and

bury the mud once more. I’m about two hours

early for my appointment with the Valiant V620 but

nothing could suit me better than just sitting on the

wall, wrapped up warm, watching the water rise

and waiting for the arrival of the day . . .

THE BOAT BUILDERValiant is a relatively young company. It was

founded in 1994 and yet its range of boats already

shows it to be a prolific builder, with around 30

models currently in production, distributed by

dealer networks in 25 countries around the world.

StormcatS tope HunterUp in Islay on the west coast of Scotland, a boat builder called Stormcats is building a very serious reputation for itself. Simon Everett heads north to take a look.

There have been interesting

things happening in the

Stormcats boatyard. The

Monostorm was already well

established as a successful

design but the firm’s mechanic,

who hails from South Africa, wanted a small

open boat for himself and his family. They had

been working on the Monostorm hull to produce

a different kind of boat.

The tumblehome was removed, the waterline

beam was increased to provide even greater

stability and then to reduce the wetted area they

incorporated chine cutaways at the transom,

as used on tournament skiboats, to allow the

wake to fold quickly, and to reduce the amount

of spray from the stern. Now, there are any

number of small fishing boats out there, each

with its own particular strengths but the new

Tope Hunter has been designed to provide an

easily launched, handy boat with plenty of space

aboard and with a reasonable turn of speed.

The size is handy enough, with two models

- one of five metres (or 16-foot, five inches in

old money) and one of 5.9 metres (or 19-foot,

six inches for traditionalists like me). I took both

boats out and tried them back to back and

found there was little to choose between them in

terms of manoeuvrability. The bigger boat spins

just as fast as the smaller one, another facet of

those chine cutaways at the stern, which allow

the stern to slip and the prop to maintain its bite

throughout the turn. If you need to manoeuvre

in a tight space, you can put the wheel over

and open the throttle and the boat just spins

around on the spot. This is the same with

both models. The longer boat, of course, has a

good deal more deck space, as the console is

very similar on both and takes up the minimum

of room, being situated right forward. This is

the South African boating philosophy coming

through, where they have to tackle huge surf to

launch off the beach.

The forward steering position gives the helm

a far better view of the approaching waves and

therefore better control. Over here in the UK, we

would tend to place the helm aft, to prevent us

from getting wet but then we rarelyN have to

launch off the beach into ten-foot surf . . .

But the other benefits of the forward helm

are every bit as useful. The increased deck

area and ease of reaching the stem for

anchoring are things that everyone

will appreciate. Although she is

Fancy a cold one?I appreciate that it’s the dead of winter and that you are about as likely to embrace a chilled beer on the deck of an open boat as you are to raid the January sales in nothing but a pair of skimpy Speedos. But these new coolers from Sherpa really are worth shouting about. Why? Well believe it or not, they will keep their contents cold for up to five days with no power - and that’s not just when the thermostat is nudging zero but in the summer when it’s nudging ten! Strong, hygienic, waterproof and available in a range of sizes from 15 to 245 litres, these things even feature an optional seat, allowing you to buy a cooler and a seat pod all in one. Either ice or medical grade gel packs are all you need to maintain the freezing temperature for days on end. Price: from £55.9901598 740685 www.coolicebox.co.uk

Smart StickDigital Yacht has expanded its range of AIS products with what it describes as “the world’s first, fully self-contained Smart AIS antenna”. The SmarterTrack ANT200 incorporates a highly sensitive dual-channel AIS receiver into a waterproof antenna housing no bigger than a traditional GPS antenna. You basically connect the power and interface connections to any compatible AIS plotter and you’ll be presented with an overlay of AIS targets directly onto your plotter screen. All commercial ships over 300 GRT have a mandatory requirement to carry a Class A transponder – sending and receiving AIS data which includes position, identity and course information. Leisure users can also opt for a more simplified Class B transponder if they wish to transmit as well as receive their position information. The SmarterTrack ANT200 will decode both types of transmission.

Colin Jones learned his seamanship with the longshoremen and fishermen of Swanage, driving their passenger launches, sailing boats and outboard motors for hire. A short spell in the Royal Navy gave plenty of sea time and was followed by several years of serious cruising and diving from a RIB. Since 1989, he and Rita have taken their Colvic Watson 29 to several countries. She is currently based in the French canals and the Med. (www.colvicwatson.co.uk)

The insurance premium payment day

seems to come around sooner with

every year we own the boat. Like

most of us, I regard it as grudge

money. I pay it with reluctance and hope never

to use it. However, when some incompetent

clown smashed 37 tonnes of charter boat

into us when we were at anchor, the annual

investment seemed very good value.

Our claim was settled without question and

we actually ended up with a better boat, so

we have stayed with St Margaret’s ever since.

However, even though we admire loyalty, there

is no harm in looking around to check if there

is a better policy for our level of bank balance

TowingThe lineAfter a lifetime or two of trial and error, Stewart Suffield brings us squarely up to date with his definitive guide to the art of trailer boating . . .

In half a century on the road I’ve piloted

virtually everything from mopeds to milk

floats, bubble cars to limousines, and

mowers to trucks, frequently savouring

more than 1,000 miles a week. For a

sizeable chunk of those miles I have been

towing, and again that has involved everything

from caravans to race cars, with even the odd

combine harvester thrown in. And in a rather

vague and faintly boastful fashion, that brings

us very nicely to the subject of this month’s

main feature - towing boats.

SAme dog, new trickSOver more than two decades working for Boat

Mart, I’ve pulled plenty of boats, not least

a dauntingly huge 30-foot Motorcat - and

yes, I’ve made mistakes but all that suffering

has resulted in some very valuable lessons.

For example, I’ve learned that it’s not merely

the power of the ‘tug’ that’s important - the

handling and grip is absolutely critical. I have

also learned that merely having a powerful

engine is pointless if the gearing is all wrong.

Just as crucially, it’s not getting a trailer moving

that’s the difficult thing, it’s stopping it safely.

And finally, I have learned to my cost that if your

boat begins to overtake you, things have gone

very badly wrong!

Now I’m certainly not going to suggest

what car to tow with, how to tow or even the

maximum load you can tow. These things you

can easily research, and should learn, before

you first hitch up. What I am going to do is

question some commonly held myths, and offer

a few tips based purely on personal (and even

painful) experience. It’s a fact that any car can

tow a boat. The big questions are always ‘How

big?’, ‘How well?’ and ‘How safely?’

reAd between the lineSWhen reading the various tow car awards

reports, pause to consider that most people,

including journalists, who regularly tow boats

for a living tend to drive 4x4s, such as Land

Rovers, Shoguns and other big pick ups – and

most of them are automatics.

There are salutary lessons to be learnt from

this because while very few people deliberately

take their cars off-road, boaters do have to

face steep, muddy or sandy slipways, pebbled

PRACTICALPROJECT 99#

Boating can be a compulsive pastime, taking up a

large proportion of disposable income and personal

time, so if you are considering taking the plunge and

buying a boat there is more to be considered than

the type and colour. Let’s start at the very beginning

and ask why you want a boat? Having once been

a seafaring nation they say it is in our blood, but

discounting this romantic notion there must be other

reasons for expending a great deal of cash. There is

a wide choice of boats available for hire throughout

the country covering numerous different areas

and types of cruising. Why not simply hire a boat

whenever the urge strikes?

Buying a boat makes no sense at all yet many

of us do so and spend most of our waking hours

either working on it or thinking about working on it.

And this is the big difference between a hired boat

and the one that we own - work!

But ask nearly any boat owner and he will say

that he enjoys tinkering with his boat almost as

much as going out in it. ‘Tinkering’ varies between

boat and owner, and may be nothing more arduous

than polishing the copper pipe-work around the

engine, but more often it will involve altering the boat

in some way. There are always ways of improving a

boat, fitting additional lighting, installing a washbasin

in the toilet compartment or even fitting a bigger

spotlight on the roof. Boat owners can walk around

any chandlery and find something they didn’t realise

they needed and if you are seriously thinking of

becoming a boat owner, you can rest assured that it

won’t take long for you to be bitten by the bug

.WHERE WILL I USE IT?

The narrow boat is the archetypal inland

waterways craft. They were developed along

with the canal system itself and their basic

design has not changed in several hundred

years. It is therefore safe to say that the

narrow boat is the absolutely ideal mode

of transport for canal cruising, so if your

ambitions are fixed firmly within the bounds

of the inland canals, the narrow boat is the

one to aim for.

Unfortunately, due to their size, they tend

to be rather more expensive than smaller

GRP canal cruisers, but they are also roomier,

easier to handle and have the in-built strength

to handle the day-to-day rigours of canal life.

Narrowboats are built in a variety of styles

from the traditional (or trad’) with a tiny aft

deck with room for the steerer and possibly

one other person. Forward of this is often a

replica boatman’s cabin.

BEGINNER’S GUIDEBUYING THE RIGHT BOAT In a follow up to last month’s boat buying essentials, Peter Caplen runs you through a few of the basics to consider before parting with your hard earned money . . .

more than a bit of spit and polish

GETTING IT RIGHT

Boat Mart I February 2010 I 119www.boatmart.co.uk Buy & sell for FREE with Boat Mart’s private classified ad service

With a bit of practice, launch and recovery is not that difficult. And it’s worth learning to get it right because trailer boating has lots

of benefits. Your boat can stay in much better condition if it’s out of the water, plus, of course, it costs less to keep it away from the marina and it allows you to enjoy a greater variety of boating areas.

I know I always say it, but in this case it really does pay huge dividends – BE PREPARED. There is nothing worse then waiting for ages at the slipway site while people clog things up, struggling with a badly prepared rig.

At home

Lots of preparation can be done before you leave home, especially if it’s a slipway that you have not used before. Check who owns it. Is it a public slip, or a club’s? Who administers it? Do you have to pay? If so, to whom, how much and where do you find them on the day? Some slipways need an annual licence. Some local council-owned slips require proof of insurance before they will give permission to launch and some slips, which specialise in personal watercraft, require an RYA licence first. Boat launch (www.boatlaunch.co.uk) provides good basic information and phone numbers so you check it all out.

PRACTICAL

GETTING IT RIGHT

One of the things a novice boater hates is busy, mid-summer launching. And recovering your boat as the tide begins to drop, the stream starts to flow, the wind gets up and the slipway gets slimy – well that’s no picnic either. Jon Mendez explains how to get it right.

The SunSport range of inflatable craft is designed to be very versatile indeed. With robust build and durable, abrasion-resistant fabrics, they are ideal for use as ship-to-shore ferries, or else for exploring the coastline or spending the day on the lake.

Compact, lightweight, easy to stow, simple to transport and quick to launch, the high-pressure inflatable hull with extended planing surface is very quick to plane with just a small four-stroke Mariner outboard of between 2.5 and four horsepower.

They are extremely stable in the water, with big buoyancy and excellent people carrying capacity and with a weight of less than 36 kg, allied to the ability to deflate to a compact size for easy stowage on your main boat or transport in the boot of your car, the AIB 230 is about as easy to own as a boat can be. The 230 comes supplied with oars, a seat, a repair kit, some bellows, a valise and an inflatable floor.
