My association with the Solent goes back many years, and

i have warm memories that are diverse and legion.

In 2007 I was welcomed home, in grand style, by a rough and windySolent following my Velux 5 oceans solo circumnavigation of theglobe. In 2012 I proudly led the parade of sail of the ten clipperround the World race yachts as they returned to Southampton aftercompleting the clipper 11-12 round the World yacht race.

The Solent is undoubtedly the centre of British sailing and it is hometo cowes Week, the world's oldest and greatest regatta. The Solenthas given me enormous and untold pleasure, all year round, whetherracing in yachts around cowes or spending endless summer daysjust pottering and seeking out new locations in which to anchor andrelax for an hour or two.

It has a distinct flavour which attracts the cosmopolitan and adiverse group of people that help make up the Solent community.The tens of thousands of residents, visitors and everyone involved inthe marine experience, whether they be in the Merchant Navy, theroyal Navy, working in the docks, making sails or pulling pints in thepopular local pubs, are all stake holders in something that is specialand of which we should be proud.

The Solent Handbook & Directory 2013 provides extensiveinformation on subjects from the weather, navigation, the tides anddetails on the best Solent events throughout the year.

Whether you enjoy sailing, exploring the wonderful scenery, or yousimply like to get involved in the hospitality and social scene, there’ssomething here for everyone. I hope, like me, you will delight inspending time here and take similar pleasure in long summer days,glorious sunsets and challenging weather and tide patterns that areunique to this great and historic stretch of water.

SOLENT RACING


Solent Racinga few people claim to dislike racing in the Solent, because

it's such a tricky place. it's true that it has strong tides,

complex wind patterns, lots of leisure and commercial traffic,

choppy water, and ever-changing conditions - but, for many

sailors, it's the complexity that makes Solent racing such a

rewarding challenge.

Windward-leeward courses set in areas of no tide and with steadywinds may create a 'fairer' race course but they can becomerepetitive and limited in their challenge. Boat speed and tactics arehighlighted but strategy, navigation, and boat handling get muchmore of a test around Solent courses. The ideal, of course, is toenjoy and learn from both.

Fortunately, the Solent offers plenty of locations that allow a varietyof courses, even windward-leeward courses in areas that enjoysome tidal shelter. consequently, this wonderful, sheltered area ishome to a rich mixture of events, including racing for dinghies, smallkeelboats, cruiser-racers, and handicap and level-racing for largerracing yachts. Most racing from cowes for example, and there is ahuge amount of it in all types of boats, takes place in the centralSolent but courses can also be set in the eastern and westernSolent, depending on conditions. The Hill Head Plateau, just to theeast of the Brambles Bank, is a favourite place for race officers toset windward-leeward courses as it benefits from shallow water foreasy mark laying and the tidal shadow of the bank to its west.

Sometimes, though, race officers forget that there are other areas inthe central Solent that can be even better for windward-leewardcourses in some combinations of wind and tide. The area inshoreand to the northwest of the Thorn channel, and the area to the eastof osborne Bay under the Isle of Wight shore, can both be goodalternatives, as can close under the mainland shore, inshore of thenorth channel around the Brambles. In this section of the Solent

Handbook you'll find some general information on Solent racing,including types of courses, how racing is organised, gettinginvolved, finding crew, and preparing for racing.

SOLENT RACING


Types of racing

Many people think of the Solent as mainly suitable for day

racing keelboats and cruiser-racers rather than dinghy racing.

in fact, there is plenty of opportunity for dinghy racing despite

the tidal rates in much of the area, which are not ideal for small

boat racing.

dinghies

The most popular area for dinghy racing is just outside the Solent, atHayling Island Sailing club. Tidal conditions in Hayling Bay areeasier than in the Solent and traffic near the racing areas isconsiderably less.

Within the Solent, however, there is still plenty of dinghy racing. Justwest of cowes is Gurnard Sailing club which is the main dinghyclub on the Isle of Wight. Elsewhere, there is dinghy racing out ofclubs in Lymington and yarmouth, the Hamble river, SouthamptonWater, the area between Hill Head and Stokes Bay, which has threedinghy clubs in close proximity, and at Wootton on the Isle of Wight.

Small keelboats

The small keelboat classes are, for many people, the heart of Solentracing. classes which race most weekends throughout the seasoninclude the classic Daring class, Dragons, Etchells, Flying Fifteens,Sonars, X one Designs, and Laser SB3s. All these fleets have classstarts in cowes Week with the SB3s and XoDs being the two largestclasses in the Week.

cruising racing and big boat racing

If you're into yacht racing there really is plenty of choice with mostSolent yacht clubs running their own evening race series plussummer weekend race series. Then there is the racing run by JoGand rorc. JoG - the Junior offshore Group - runs both an inshoreand offshore series for yachts racing under Irc with both seriesproving very popular. rorc - the royal ocean racing club -organises a series of offshore races from cowes, which counttowards the season's championship. rorc also runs the Fastnetrace and commodores’ cup, both biennial events that alternatewith each other. This year it is the turn of the Fastnet race, whichstarts on 11 August.

For those who prefer yacht racing on windward-leeward courses,there are ample opportunities for that too. And, if you prefer racingclassic yachts even that is catered for, with The Metre & classicKeelboat regatta, and Panerai British classic Week which is steadilygrowing in popularity and attracting some truly gorgeous yachts.

SOLENT RACING


Solent Racingon the race course

Even if you are an expert racer and a Solent regular it is

really important to remind yourself of the basics well before

heading out for the start. These include the type and location

of the course, the starting sequence and race signals, and

the other important information in the notice of race and

Sailing instructions.

Types of course

When racing in the Solent thetwo most usual types ofcourses you'll encounter arewindward-leeward coursesfrom a committee boat startline or round-the-canscourses, usually from one ofthe clubs' shore lines oroccasionally from a committeeboat start. A committee-boatstart can be set up in severallocations in and around thecentral Solent but the mostused location is on the HillHead Plateau to the north ofthe main channel and east ofthe Brambles Bank. on busyweekends several coursesmay be set in this area so it isimportant to find out the approximate location of the committee boat before heading out. A windward-leeward course may have thestart line between the windward and leeward marks, or to leeward of the leeward mark. Also, there may be a leeward gate rather than a single mark.

Starting sequence

The Racing Rules of Sailing standard start sequence is often used,especially for racing on windward-leeward courses.

The standard sequence (rrS 26) can be changed in the SailingInstructions (SIs) and for shore line starts from cowes, for example,it may be changed to give a longer period between the Warning andPreparatory signals. In these cases the Warning signal is given 10minutes before the start, with the Preparatory signal hoisted at 5minutes before the start, and lowered at 1 minute before the start.See page 18 for flag meanings.

racing rules

All racers should familiarise themselves with the latest Racing Rules

of Sailing (RRS) 2013-2016. They are revised and published everyfour years by the International Sailing Federation and a copy of thecurrent rrS, highlighted to show changes, can be downloaded fromwww.sailing.org/documents/racingrules/index.php.

Make sure that you read and understand the rules - it will help keepyou out of trouble and give you an advantage on the race course.

L - Flown afloat : come within hail orfollow this boat.Flown ashore: A notice to competitorshas been posted.

Solent Racingrace preparation, crew, and equipment

You may think that when you line up to start you've got as good

a chance as most of the fleet for a good place in the race. You'd

be wrong! Most races are won before the start thanks to the

work the skipper and crew put in to prepare themselves and the

boat to do well on the race course.

Some of that preparation may begin months or years beforehand inpreparing the boat so it has the speed and reliability to win, andpreparing the crew so that they can handle the boat efficiently in allconditions and circumstances.

other preparation takes place just before the race when the skipperand crew learn the SIs, check the weather and tide, arrive at thecourse early, and make the strategic decisions.

getting crew

Having a good crew is always important and it often takes weeks ormonths to develop a crew's skills and ability to work together.Finding crew can be difficult - although the more successful you areon the race course the easier it is!

A good place to start is your local yacht club and others in the area.Post a note on their message boards and websites, and look aroundfor online forums. The bigger events, such as the J.P. Morgan AssetManagement round the Island race and Aberdeen AssetManagement cowes Week, have forums on their websites whereyou can advertise for crew and crew can advertise for a boat.

once you've found a crew, make sure you sail, and preferably race, with them before the big event. Training should cover the boat layout and its gear, safety procedures, and boat handling in all the important manoeuvres and sail changes.

Skipper's check list

your actual check list will depend on the type of boat, length of race, and course location but for a typical Solent race make sureyou consider:

• Have sufficient crew, all the sails you'll need, with all the gear in working order, including safety equipment, and get afloat well ahead of start time with plenty of time to sail to the course area.

• If you keep your boat afloat, has the bottom been scrubbed withinthe last two weeks? It's amazing how many boats you see racing which have dirty hulls.

• race information - Make sure you have a copy of the sailing instructions (SIs), an up-to-date racing chart of the area (Solent buoys may change position and/or name from one year to the next so get a 2013 racing chart now), and the times of High Water for the day, with a good tidal stream chart for the area - the more detailed the better.

• Bottled water and something to snack on, and the right sailing clothing for the conditions. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen.

• Watch the weather trends for 3-5 days ahead of the event, and start studying it in detail in the 24 hours ahead of the event. Go afloat with an up-to-date forecast and study how any changes expected during the day may affect the strategy for the race.

Preparing for offshore racing

If you're heading offshore you'll need more food and drink, and moreclothing plus more detailed weather and route planning ahead of therace. you may also need to add safety equipment, depending on thecategory of the race.

offshore races can be tough on both boat and crew so make surethe boat and its equipment is in top class order and always sail witha crew that has sufficient experience among it to deal with a longrace or with bad conditions.

Racing Rule Changesit’s that time again. Every January following the olympics,

updated racing rules of Sailing are published. The racing

rules committee of the international Sailing federation (iSaf)

meets every november and considers proposals for change, but

unless there is a crisis, only in the year after the olympics are

changes put into force.

Most changes are for clarification but some are ‘game changes’affecting the way the game of sailing is played (at least, by theexperts).

This time round there are numerous changes but there is not muchthat a mid-fleet sailor needs to know.

Here are the most interesting......

of interest to all sailors

There is a new rule called ‘Trash Disposal’. If you deliberately putany kind of rubbish in the water you can be penalised. Thisrequirement applies at all time when boats are on the water, not justwhen they are actually racing. However, you will not be penalised if,having capsized, you are not able to retrieve objects that might becategorized as trash.

After a tragic incident some years ago where young capsized sailorswere attacked by sharks, the rule about outside Help has beenchanged to ensure that a sailor in danger can always receive helpwithout necessarily having to retire. There have been occasionswhere sailors have refused taking help offered in order to ensurethey could continue racing. When help is needed by someone indanger (or perceived to be in danger) they can continue racing afterreceiving the help, provided their boat has not gained a significantadvantage as a result of the help. If the boat did gain an advantageand was protested and penalised, the penalty would be at thediscretion of the protest committee and can be less than adisqualification. Another subtle change to this rule is that the word'boat' is replaced by the word 'vessel'. This puts an end to theargument that, after a collision, a boat could receive help to get clearonly from the other boat involved in the collision. It is now clear thatthe help may come from any vessel.

When racing where there are traffic separation zones, the racingrules of Sailing now require boats to comply with rule 10, TrafficSeparation Schemes, of the IrPcAS. This has been added to theexisting requirements to comply with IrPcAS with regard tomaking fog signals and showing lights when safety requires.

of interest to the more advanced racing sailor

The definition Mark-room has been changed to correct someanomalies. The old definition included ‘room to sail to the mark’and then, ‘room to sail her proper course when at the mark’. Thismeant that the amount of room to which the inside boat wasentitled suddenly changed when she was ‘at the mark’. The newdefinition actually reduces the amount of room to which an insideboat is entitled at the mark; basically she has the right to room tosail in a seamanlike way to the mark and round the mark. So if theinside boat is the give-way boat, she is not entitled to do a‘tactical rounding’, merely a ‘seamanlike rounding’. (The insideboat may do a ‘tactical rounding’ if she is the right-of-way boat). The definition room has been changed to make it clearer thatwhen, for example, you luff more than one boat, you must giveroom for the windward boat to fulfil her obligation to give room toany boat(s) to windward of him.

Now here’s a change of interest to Solent sailors: rule 20 coversthe situation when you are close-hauled approaching anobstruction and need to hail a boat to windward or astern for roomto tack.

Racing Rule ChangesThe rule has been completely restructured. It is a safety rule, andwhen you hail for room to tack, the other boat must respond (nochange there). However, sometimes the hailed boat cannot respondbecause there is yet another boat to windward or astern of her. Newrule 20.3 makes it clear that, in such circumstances, a hailed boatintending to respond by tacking always has the right to hail anotherboat on the same tack for room to tack and avoid her - even if sheherself could have passed the obstruction without a substantialcourse change.

Sometimes in light winds the battens do not 'pop' after a gybe butrather remain inverted. There is a new rule allowing you to pump thesail until the offending battens are no longer inverted, but not if theaction clearly propels your boat.

of interest to race officers

A boat used to finish simply by crossing the finishing line in thedirection of the course from the last mark. This was a problem whenit was unclear which was ‘the last mark’, or the course includedseveral laps and the finishing line was positioned in the middle of thecourse so that boats went through the finishing line on each lap. Thedirection is still defined as ‘crosses the finishing line from the courseside’ but the definition continues by making it clear that if a boat istaking a Turn Penalty after crossing the finishing line, she actually didnot finish when she crossed the line the first time; after taking thepenalty she must cross the line from the course side again. Thecrossing of the finishing line also does not count as finishing if theboat thereafter corrects an error in sailing the course that she madeat the finishing line. Last but not least, a boat doesn’t finish if she‘continues to sail the course’. In all these cases, the boat does notactually finish until she has completed the penalty, corrected theerror or completed sailing the course - and then finishes.

A fender attached to the port quarter of the committee boat at thestarboard end of a starting line to protect the paintwork wasarguably ‘temporarily attached’ to the mark and therefore not a partof it, allowing boats to collide with it with impunity. The words‘temporarily attached’ have been replaced with 'attachedaccidentally' in the definition of ‘Mark’, so that the fender nowcounts as part of the mark.

and finally, for Protest committees

rule 69, Gross Misconduct, has been substantially rewritten.There is now an obligation on sailors to not commit grossmisconduct. That may appear obvious, but was never stated inthe old rule. This is a very serious rule and, historically, the protestcommittees holding such a hearing have been required to find,beyond reasonable doubt, that a boat committed the allegedmisconduct before they could penalise the sailor or boat. Thestandard of proof required has now been changed to 'comfortablesatisfaction'.

When a national authority receives a report about a breach of rule69, whether based on a hearing or an independent report, it isnow required to conduct an investigation in accordance with itsestablished procedures and, if appropriate, conduct a hearing.(rule 69)

Sometimes in a protest hearing, members of the protestcommittee will have seen the incident (or part of it). The rules nowrequire that if they have, they must let the parties in the hearingknow and they may then act as witnesses. (Naturally the protestcommittee members who saw the incident must not give anyfurther evidence when the committee is considering its decisionbehind closed doors).

SOLENT CRUISING


Solent Cruising

The Solent is renowned as one of the most popular recreational

boating areas in the world but it’s much more than that. formed

around 7,000 years ago, when the Solent river estuary gradually

flooded at the end of the last ice age, the isle of Wight became

separated from the mainland as the chalk ridge between The

needles and old Harry rocks on the mainland eroded.

Today, the Solent has more small estuaries in close proximity thananywhere else in Great Britain and is located in one of the mostsheltered channels in Europe. It is unique in Europe for its complextides and the long periods of stand at High and Low Waters.

The wide range of marine habitats makes the Solent of internationalsignificance for wildlife, and one of the most important sites on thebird migration routes from the Arctic to Africa. With its huge diversityof wildlife and habitats, along with its heritage and archaeologicalimportance, much of the coastline has protected status and isrecognised as being of national and international importance.

The Solent’s unique characteristics have made Southampton theleading cruise port and one of the main commercial ports in thecountry and enabled Portsmouth’s maritime heritage and navalimportance. consequently, the Solent has a high level of shippingmovements with vessels of all types being seen.

The huge diversity of the area, together with the close proximity ofmany ports, harbours, and anchorages, makes the Solent awonderful cruising ground for sailors and powerboaters. The choicein number, size, and atmosphere of the many destinations in theSolent make it perfect for weekending or holiday cruising, especiallywhen family cruising as there is much to satisfy all tastes.

While mid-sized and large yachts and powerboats tend tocongregate in the larger yachting centres such as Lymington,cowes, Hamble, and Portsmouth there are many other destinationsand anchorages available to smaller craft and those who don’t wishto follow the well-plowed wakes of the majority.

Solent Cruising

The double high tides of the Solent add to its cruising benefits but thestrength and complexities of the tidal streams must be taken into accountwhen planning and making passages in the Solent. See cowes TideTables and Portsmouth Tide Tables.

Good weather information is readily available in this area, both actual andforecast (refer to ‘Weather’ and ‘useful contacts’), but make allowance forthe fact that the geography of the area impacts on the wind as it does forthe tides and many weather models do not accurately predict local Solentvariations.

In summer, especially when the morning's gradient wind is northwest,look for a sea breeze from late morning, building through the afternoonwhen it can deliver a fresh southwesterly. If this is blowing against an ebbtide conditions can become quite choppy before calming down again asthe sea breeze loses its power.

approaches to the Solent

The Solent can be entered fromthe west or east. At the westernend, the eroded chalk cliffs ofThe Needles, together with itsiconic lighthouse, have been awelcome sight to manyreturning sailors over thecenturies, while to the east, themore protected entrance isthrough the Forts, wherePortsmouth and Spithead, withall their maritime heritage, greetthe sailor's arrival.

from the west

Heading for the Solent fromPoole or further west theobvious choice is to enterthrough the Needles channel. In light to moderate conditionswith a favourable tide the mainchannel south of the notoriousShingles bank is benign, but ifthe ebb is running expect amore turbulent entry and if awest or southwest wind ofmore than Force 5-6 is fightinga strong ebb tide this isdefinitely a place to avoid.Breaking seas over The Bridge,rough water in the channel,and overfalls in Hurst Narrowsall await the incautious.

A far less vigorous option, which is much under-used, is the Northchannel which is approached to the north of the Shingles and is muchsafer in rough weather. Stay to the north of the Shingles and leave NorthHead buoy to starboard, turning into the channel which runs parallel toHurst beach. When entering Hurst Narrows take care to avoid The Trapwhich is a steep-sided shingle spit extending out from the beach near theround fort. once past, the shingle bank runs northeast and is fairly steep-sided with room to anchor for shelter or a lunch stop.

SOLENT CRUISING


Solent Cruisingfrom the east

Arriving from the east, the main entrance is between Horse SandFort to the north and No Man's Land Fort to the south. If comingfrom Langstone or chichester harbours there is a shorter route usingthe Main Passage in the submerged barrier between Horse SandFort and the mainland, or the Boat Passage close to the shore isavailable for small craft.

Since the submerged barrier between No Man's Land Fort wasremoved passage can be made inshore of the fort with a least depthof 2m over foul ground between the Fort and the red post to thesouthwest, which is useful when approaching from the south. oncepast the fort make sure to avoid the extensive ryde Sands bystaying far enough north to clear the red post at the northeasternextremity of the Sands by a decent margin. Note that the Sands tothe west of the post extend slightly north of it so don't cut thecorner near Low Water.

The western Solent

The western Solent offers two different but attractive coastlines,varied wildlife habitats and less commercial traffic than the central or eastern parts. It has a wide area of navigable water for mostyachts and motor cruisers, is well buoyed, and offers a great choiceof harbours and anchorages within 8 miles.

With Keyhaven, Lymington, Beaulieu, yarmouth, and Newtown allwithin easy reach the western Solent offers the choice betweenanchoring among beautiful scenery and wildlife, or picking apontoon or mooring in attractive towns with good facilities andattractions.

At the western end, Keyhaven is often missed but is good to explorenear High Water or for a lunch-stop anchorage in the shelter of HurstSpit. Lymington or yarmouth are very popular stopping points in thewestern Solent while Beaulieu and Newtown are favourite haunts forpeace and wildlife.

The volume of boats, both power and sail, during busy summerweekends and holidays mean that it can be difficult finding a berthin the popular areas and it is sensible to book ahead if possible or risk being unable to find a vacant berth or mooring, or even space to anchor.

Solent tidal streams always make it worthwhile working the tide insmall boats, especially near Springs, but the location of the westernSolent harbours makes them convenient for cross-tide visits. So ifthe tide doesn't serve for a passage from Lymington to Beaulieu,Newtown, or cowes, a trip across to yarmouth for lunch until thetide turns is an attractive detour.

When punching tide along the Solent, the greatest tidal relief isfound to the north of the channel where the bottom is less steep-tothan on the Island shore. When fighting tide along the Island shorebeware Gurnard, Salt Mead, and Hamstead Ledges and make surethat you calculate the height of tide carefully if you choose to stayclose to the shore.

Tidal streams in excess of 3.5 knots are experienced around Springtides, particularly between Gurnard Ledge and cowes, and betweenyarmouth and Hurst Narrows. In strong wind against tide conditions,most commonly when an ebb stream meets a strong west orsouthwesterly wind, the seas in the western Solent can be steep

and breaking, uncomfortable conditions for small to medium sizedyachts or motor cruisers. conditions are likely to be less rough northof the channel, in shallower water and out of the strongest tide.When heading for cowes from the western Solent in roughconditions stay in mid-Solent or further north until level with EgyptPoint before heading for cowes to avoid the roughest water offGurnard Bay.

If heading for the eastern Solent or Southampton Water stay slightlysouth of Lepe Spit to avoid the roughest water in the strong streamthat flows around the Spit.

The central Solent

The central Solent is a busy place with commercial traffic from eastand west converging to head up the Thorn channel and intoSouthampton Water, along with ferries heading in and out of cowes.The most important feature to avoid is the Brambles Bank, whichlies at the western end of the Hill Head Plateau and borders theThorn channel to the east. This shallow patch claims many anunwary yacht or powerboat each season. Much yacht racing takesplace on the Hill Head Plateau because of the tidal relief obtainedhere and considerate cruising sailors and powerboaters shouldavoid passing through the fleets of race boats.

Very large ships approach the Thorn channel from the east, makingthe tight turn to starboard off cowes to enter the channel. When theebb is running vessels start their turn off cowes while on the floodthey turn later, near Gurnard cardinal buoy.

The size and density of the commercial traffic in this area, togetherwith their speed, makes it imperative to keep a good lookout.remember that there is a Precautionary Area between calshot andcowes where all vessels over 150m are given a Moving ProhibitedZone of 1,000 metres ahead and 100 metres to either side. Allvessels under 20m must stay clear of this moving zone.

To the north of the Brambles Bank, the North channel providesaccess to Southampton Water for small commercial craft comingfrom the west, saving them the extra distance needed to round theBrambles to the south and the passage up the Thorn channel. Tothe north of this channel the Hill Head and Lee-on-Solent shorelinesare popular areas for dinghy sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and jetskiing. Small recreational fishing boats are also found throughout thecentral Solent, often anchored on the plateau or near the shorelines.

The Solent's most famous port, cowes, lies at the centre of theSolent and its convenient geographical position, plus its easy entry,make it a popular destination for yachts and powerboats of all types.As it is also the home of passenger and car ferry operations, pluscommercial traffic headed up the river Medina, the entrance is oftencrowded and care should be taken when entering or leaving.

The tide off cowes runs very strongly and due allowance for thestrong east or west going stream should be made when entering or leaving as the stream changes direction in the harbour entrance.

When a strong wind meets a strong tide off cowes the seas onPrince consort Shoal can get quite lumpy. This can be avoided ifcoming from the east by staying inshore but beware of The Shrapemud which, at low tide, extends almost as far as the racing buoys,and do not be tempted to cut through the extensive mooring buoys

which line the east side of the harbour. round No. 2 red can at theentrance before heading upriver.

The other main yachting harbour in the central Solent is the Hamble river with its many marinas and yachting facilities.Southampton Water has much commercial traffic but there are stillplaces for the leisure sailor to explore including Ashlett creek on thewest side below the Fawley Marine Terminal jetties. Further upSouthampton Water is Hythe Marina Village on the west side, whileocean Village Marina is just beyond Southampton Dockhead up theriver Itchen with Shamrock Quay and Saxon Wharf a bit further onbeyond the Itchen Bridge. Small boats have plenty of explorationavailable to them in both the rivers Test and Itchen.

The eastern SolentThe eastern Solent has a different character to the western arm and the mainland shore is more developed. The sand and gravel sea bed which predominates to the west gives way to a greaterproportion of mud in the east. cross-Solent ferry traffic is high with car ferries operating between Portsmouth and Fishbourne at theentrance to Wootton creek. Fast passenger catamarans run betweenPortsmouth and ryde Pier head while the last remaining passengerhovercraft service runs between Southsea and ryde.

The major deep water shipping channel is south of ryde Middle bankand very large ships regularly transit the area, with outgoing andincoming vessels often passing in the eastern Solent. yachts andpowerboats using this area should try to avoid the main channel,either staying to the south of the channel in ample water off theIsland shore, or passing over ryde Middle bank to the north of themain channel. The North channel runs to the north of ryde Middlebank and is used by smaller commercial and military craft. Theeastern Solent is also often busy at weekends and in high summerwith yachts racing.

on the Island shore, osborne Bay, just to the east of cowes, is apopular day-time or overnight anchorage as it is well sheltered fromwest or southwest winds and has an attractive shoreline. Just to theeast, Wootton creek is nice to explore in a small boat and when thetide serves but the entrance is dominated by the car ferry terminaland caution is needed when ferries are arriving and leaving.

Further east is ryde Pier and, beyond, the small ryde Harbour whichis accessible only around high tide and by small to medium sizedshallow draft boats. ryde Sands is the major obstacle in this areaand this extensive sandbank catches out many unwary craft.

To the north, the coastline turns northeast at Gilkicker Point and runsto the narrow entrance to Portsmouth Harbour. Portsmouth has muchto offer the sailor or powerboater looking for exploration with a varietyof marinas and opportunities for anchoring.

Beyond the forts to the east lie Langstone and chichester harbours,both of which have bars at their entrances which make it unsafe toenter or leave in rough conditions, such as when a strong southerlywind opposes a strong ebb tide. Both harbours are superb boatingareas that are particularly appealing to owners of small yachts andpowerboats who enjoy exploring, creek crawling, and wildlifewatching. Together with the varied ports, harbours, and anchorageswithin the Solent, Langstone and chichester make up the mostcompact yet varied cruising ground in Europe, a real treasure to beenjoyed and protected.

WeatherSolent Weather – Where Do the Forecasts Come From?

Depending on where you are in the world, you may well be

blessed with entirely predictable and generally steady weather,

for example the Cape Verdes in winter, which will have a nice

steady east-northeast or northeast Trade Wind for the majority

of the time. The Solent, however, is not one of those places,

and we have far more varied weather. This is due to our

position underneath, or at least close to, the Jet Stream which

brings depressions over us with seemingly monotonous

regularity right now. So, we know that the weather will mostly

be changeable, what we need next is to find a decent forecast

source.

In this age of the internet there’s a vast choice of weather information

and, as water users, it’s up to us to understand where this

information comes from and how we can use it. Available information

comes in many forms, and here we’ll discuss the most readily

available ones. The basis of all forecasts, however, is the output

from a numerical weather program (NWP) which is a complex

program simulating the entire atmospheric and oceanic circulations

around the globe. Various national agencies have their own models,

but the two that particularly concern us are the Met Office’s Unified

Model (UM) and the USA’s National Centers for Environmental

Prediction’s (NCEP) Global Forecasting System (GFS). The Met

Office is an obvious choice, as they are our national service and

should have a good handle on things, and the GFS data is put out to

the web every day for free access by all, and so is the basis for the

majority of internet-based weather services.

All NWP models deliver output in a three-dimensional global grid,

moving forward in time. Each grid box at a particular time has a

certain volume, and at each of the corners of this box the NWP

calculates pressure, temperature, humidity and wind in three

dimensions (see Figure 1). Within this box other properties, such as

precipitation and cloud cover, are derived by a process called

parameterisation, which effectively looks at the conditions at the

corners and says something like “the average humidity in the box is

X%, the temperature is Y°C so we will assign Z% cloud cover and P

mm/hour precipitation from that”. It therefore follows that the smaller

the grid spacing used the better resolution will be obtained in the

forecast. Another point to remember is that to represent a particular

feature, for example a depression, that feature must be greater than

3 grid boxes across, otherwise statistically it is just a blip.

WeatherThe Met Office runs its model in three different resolutions. Globally

it runs at around 25km box size, over the North Atlantic and Europe

(where all our weather systems come from) at around 12km and over

the UK at 4km. NCEP’s GFS model is run globally at half degree

resolution, and this is the data available on the web. This difference

in resolution is particularly important in coastal regions, due to the

effect that the land has on wind (gusting around the Needles, for

example). Over a half degree box the “average land” misses a lot of

detail (Figure 2) compared to a 4km box (Figure 3). The 4km box

shown has Cowes Approaches and the Brambles Bank on it – the

Brambles would not affect the surface weather, but it’s put on for

scale.

There are many websites that allow you to input a location and then

receive a forecast at three hour intervals for days in advance. It’s

really important to read the information sections on the sites, as they

will tell you clearly where they get the data from and if they do any

processing on it. Some of them allow local knowledge to be used,

e.g. gusting down a river valley with a southwesterly wind, but some

don’t and just give you the output directly from the GFS model. Also,

if you are not exactly at a particular grid point then the conditions

reported for your location will be an interpolation of the four grid

points around you, with no account taken of headlands or other land

features. Most importantly these websites usually have no human

input to their data, i.e. they don’t have a forecaster looking at it, they

just output numbers from the model.

The Met Office doesn’t put its raw data out, but it does issue an array

of different forecasts, of which the obvious ones for sailors are the

synoptic charts, the Shipping Forecast and the Inshore Waters

Forecast. It will also give specific location forecasts. These

forecasts have the advantages of a much smaller grid size and

forecaster input. The forecasters know any model deficiencies

(e.g. up to a few years ago the Met Office model wasn’t very good at

following rainfall at sea as it came onto land) and they also compare

their output with other agency outputs, e.g. NCEP’s GFS data. In

general, therefore, the Met Office data will be the best forecast

information to use, and it’s certainly the easiest to get hold of at sea

with the Coastguard’s regular marine safety information broadcasts

putting this information out every four hours.

Other national meteorological agencies put similar information up,

however, which is very useful as a comparison of the general

synoptic situation.

Figure 1: a three-dimensional forecast grid box

WEATHER 35

WEATH

ER


Good and relevant examples of this are MeteoFrance and the USA’s

Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC)

which have good coverage of Atlantic and European waters and

whose output also passes under the scrutiny of an experienced

forecaster before being put online.

All of these sources have significant use, it’s just important to

understand where their information comes from, and after about

three days they are good for indicating trends, but not specific

events. Using more than one source is very important – we don’t

hesitate to ask for a second opinion at hospitals, so why not for

weather? For day-to-day use the Met Office (via the internet,

television or radio) is more than adequate, with a second opinion of

looking out the window vital. If you’re planning a longer trip, or a

weekend exploring the Solent, then it’s best to start with the Met

Office, then look up at least two other sources, say FNMOC and your

favourite location-based website. If you start doing this several days

before the trip then you’ll soon get a feeling for how the forecasts are

developing and which ones are most accurate. Do avoid the trap of

automatically going with the most optimistic one, and keep looking to

windward – the weather gods don’t use computers!

A Celestial View of the Solent

The Question …Little or Large … is the Earth really big?

first the good news … The world did not come to an end on

21 december 2012 despite reports of an ancient Mayan

prophecy that a mysterious planet was on a collision course

with us, or that there would be a reverse in our own planet’s

rotation.

Now for the bad news.. I have been asked to pen yet anotherastronomical article that will not only be thought provoking, but onethat opens the mind of the reader a little.

The idea for the article came following a recent celestial coursewhilst showing a student the evening vista at Ventnor. During ourcosmic conversation, my celestial companion asked: “How big isEarth in the universal scale of things?”

After a lengthy 45 minute repost using simple layman’s terms Iexplained the answer to her; she being suitably impressed replied“WoW! you should put that down in writing.” I promised that Iwould but only if she promised not to ask any more questions!So! True to my word and whilst supping a pint at my local drinkingestablishment Perks I began to put pen to paper and scribe anexplanation about how incredibly small and truly insignificant we(Earth) are in the big picture.

Let’s take the Earth’s diameter at the equator which is 12,756kilometres as the starting point. If you compare that with Jupiter,whose diameter is 142,984 km and 318 times bigger than Earth, youwill now begin to see that Earth is starting to look small already. Infact, Jupiter’s mass is up to 2.5 times that of all the other planets inthe solar system combined.

compare us now to the Sun which is by far the largest object in oursolar system. It contains 98% of the solar system's total mass andhas a diameter of 1,392,500 km, that is one Million, Three HundredAnd Ninety Two Thousand, Five Hundred Km’s or 1 Solar unit (Su inastronomers speak).

Did you know that it would take 109 Earths to stretch across thesun, and over one million to "Fill It up" if it was hollow?

So you may think you are getting the big picture now. Well, whatabout this then…? The sun which is a star (a fact that some 45% ofAmericans surveyed did not know) is miniscule compared to redsuper giant Betelgeuse found in the constellation of orion.

Betelgeuse in fact is 2.1 billion kilometres across, if we put it insideof our solar system where the sun currently resides, it would swallowMercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and then the Asteroid belt for goodmeasure. It wouldn’t quite reach Jupiter, but that’s big enough to getacross the point.

Betelgeuse is 1,000 times the diameter of our Sun and anunimaginable 10,000 times brighter. It is a big star, really big, but amere tiddler compared to some stars out there that are sofrighteningly gargantuan they would make your hair stand on end.one such star is Vy canis Majoris, reputedly the largest star knownto man.

Vy canis Majoris cannot be seen with the naked eye because of itsgreat distance from us but it is located in the same region of the skywhere we find Sirius, which is the brightest star we can see.

I affectionately call canis Majoris the “Big Daddy”. It is an amazingone billion times larger than the Sun having a diameter of 1650 (Su).To give you some idea of just how big this star is, imagine this: if youwere to fly on a Jumbo jet at 550 miles/hour it would take you 1,100years to fly around it only once.

Take a look at the above picture. Just one pixel has been blown upto show you the scale of the enormity of this star when compared toour Sun.

We humans are able to sight something like 5,000 stars with thenaked eye. All of these plus the planets and their moons belong toour own galaxy called the Milky Way.

Astronomers estimate that in our galaxy there are about one hundredthousand million stars and if we flew on the space shuttle travellingat 5 miles per second from Earth’s position through the centre, itwould take an unbelievable 1.2 billion years, the equivalentapproximately to one tenth the time that the universe has been inexistence.

So finally, let’s talk about BIG! In 1999 the Hubble space telescopeestimated that there were 125 billion galaxies in the universe ofwhich we are but one. Even more recently a German super computerestimated that this figure could be as high as 500 billion.

A Celestial View of the Solent

!!!!!!!!!!!!



E SOLENT

The picture below was taken in the year 1999 by the Hubble spacecraft.

It shows over 10,000 Galaxies in a mere 0.000024% of the sky. Togive you an idea of how small this region is … it covers theequivalent area that you would see if looking at a five pence piecefrom a distance of 15 metres.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words; in this instancethat’s very true. It sums up exactly the point I have tried to makewithout a 45 minute conversation or the one thousand words I havebeen given by this publication so to do.

I hope you now realize, as my student did, that Earth really is smallerthan the smallest grain of sand in the universe’s scale of size.

However true, I think it would be a good idea to put this statementinto some reasonable perspective. To do this, the words spoken bythe comedian Steve Wright: “It’s a small world, but I would not liketo have to paint it,” become so very apt.

And finally to finish this cosmic oeuvre I would like to leave you withthe words from the great man himself, carl Sagen: “Somewhere,something incredible is waiting to be known.”

cheers. Stokey Woodall.

RNLI top tips

Calling for help

• Being able to call for help is vital for others, as well as you – your

call could save someone’s life. And if something should happen to

you, do your crew know how to call for help?

• Use a fixed DSC VHF radio to call the Coastguard on Channel 16.

If this is not possible then use a handheld VHF radio. Flares can

also be used as a backup.

• Take an occasional two minutes to rehearse a MAYDAY call using

your own radio. If you join an unfamiliar boat, make sure you

understand the radio controls.

What’s in your tool locker?

• A significant number of RNLI callouts are to vessels that have

broken down or run out of fuel. Plan ahead and dedicate a third of

your fuel tank as a contingency supply.

• Carry a small kit of tools and spares to cover minor breakdowns

and get yourself home.

Ready for a shock?

• The average water temperature in the UK is 15◦C. Immersion in this

water could kill a person in less than two minutes through cold

water shock.*

• Wearing a lifejacket increases your chance of survival when

immersed in cold water by up to four times.

• Accidents happen regardless of experience. Give yourself and your

crew a chance to survive by wearing an ISO approved lifejacket

with crotch straps. Don’t just buy it, WEAR IT.

Who’s going to miss you?

• Tell someone where you are going and when you will be back; they

could be the first person to raise the alarm and pass on valuable

information to search and rescue teams.

Weather to leave

• Before you go out and while afloat, check a relevant marine

forecast: on the internet, using an app, national and local radio or

VHF radio.

• Carry a current tide table to check access to slipways and ports in

case your plans change.

• Skill up

• Learn the skills you need to get by on the water, don’t forget to

refresh them and know your limits.

For more information on these, or any other safety issues, visit

www.RNLI.org/safetyandeducation.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. It provides a 24-hour

on-call service to cover search and rescue requirements out to 100

nautical miles from the coast of the United Kingdom and Republic of

Ireland.

The RNLI is independent from government and continues to rely on

voluntary contributions and legacies for its income.

1 June

The annual J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race,

organised by the Island Sailing Club, is a one-day yacht race around

the Isle of Wight. The race regularly attracts over 1,700 boats and

around 16,000 sailors, making it one of the largest yacht races in the

world and the fourth largest participation sporting event in the UK.

Competitors come from all over the UK, other parts of Europe and as

far away as the USA to follow the 50 nautical mile course round the

Isle of Wight. Starting on the famous Royal Yacht Squadron line in

Cowes, the fleet races westabout, to The Needles, round St

Catherine's Point and Bembridge Ledge buoy, and back into the

Solent to the finish line at Cowes.

The race is a great opportunity to watch world-renowned sailors

racing against families and first time racers. For those not competing,

the Island and the south coast have many great vantage points to

watch the race, such as the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, Hurst

Castle, and The Needles.

Conceived as a quick and easy way to increase communication

throughout the large Round the Island Race community, this year

people can help raise funds for the official Race charity, the Ellen

MacArthur Cancer Trust, by tweeting using the hashtag #raceforall.

All you have to do is tweet your Race news and remember to use

#raceforall to add to the charity total. It's a quick and easy way to

share your stories with the Race community and pick up useful tips

and knowledge. Let them know why you're entering, what you're

looking forward to and your favourite thing about the Race. For every

tweet using the approved hashtag, J.P. Morgan will donate 10p to the

charity, until the 'Tweetometer' target of £3,000 is reached. You can

SOLENT PO

RTS & HARBOURS


Solent Ports & HarboursA Solent handbook wouldn't be complete without revealing

some of the hidden delights to be found in the area and so this

section introduces the reader to the wonderful diversity of

harbours, ports, and rivers to be found around the Solent.

The Solent has many harbours

ranging from quaint creeks to some

of the busiest ports in the world.

Whether you want to have a relaxing

cruise or a challenging race the

Solent has got it all.

There are plenty of bays and rivers

to explore where you can drop your

anchor for lunch and maybe take a

swim, or if it's the exhilaration of

racing you are after, then why not take part in one of the hundreds of

sailing regattas offered here during the season, and in fact over the

winter too if you are the hardy type!

If you're after some retail therapy, or fancy a night out, there is

something for everyone; the Solent plays host to some of the best

restaurants in the UK offering fresh, local produce.

We hope you enjoy browsing through our guides to some of the most

popular destinations in the Solent - and that your stay here is a

memorable one.

62 YARMOUTH HARBOUR

YARM

OUTH

HARBOUR


Yarmouth HarbourThe most westerly harbour on the Isle of Wight, picturesque

Yarmouth welcomes more than 500,000 visitors a year by car

ferry from Lymington, Hampshire, and 100,000 visitors by boat,

many from elsewhere in the Solent, but also from the West

Country, Ireland, the Channel Islands, France, Belgium, Holland,

Germany, and Scandinavia.

Yarmouth Harbour is accessible at all states of the tide being

dredged 2 metres below chart datum. Its close proximity to the

Needles and the English Channel makes it ideal for those entering or

leaving the Solent.

The harbour entrance can become very congested especially on

summer weekends. Great caution is to be taken entering and leaving

the harbour and vessels must adhere to the speed limit of 4 knots

within the harbour and Western Yar River, and 6 knots from the

entrance Dolphin at the breakwater to the outer harbour limits. If the

"Harbour full" sign and signal (flag R) is displayed (the Harbour Full

sign on the Eastern side of the Harbour Entrance is illuminated at

night), you should not attempt to enter the harbour.

When approaching from the east, leave East Fairway buoy to port,

turn onto a bearing of 187° and follow the leading light. When

approaching from the west, leave the Poole Belle buoy to starboard,

turn onto a bearing of 187° and again, follow the leading light. On

spring tides the last hour of the flood and ebb can see strong tidal

movement in the harbour entrance and in various parts of the

harbour. There can be a double high tide or a long stand at Spring

tides.

Yarmouth Harbour operates on VHF Ch 68, Call Sign 'Yarmouth

Harbour', monitored by the Harbour Office and Berthing Masters on

the water. The water taxi operates on VHF Ch. 15, Call Sign 'Harbour

Taxi' and can also be called on 07969 840173.

Yarmouth Harbour Commissioners were granted the powers of

general and special direction and new General Directions came into

force on 1 March 2012 replacing the harbour's previous Byelaws.

Users of the harbour are asked to familiarise themselves with these

new directions which can be downloaded from the harbour website

www.yarmouth-harbour.co.uk.

Yarmouth is shared by yachtsmen, fishermen, and ferry operators. At

times the entrance can become very busy and special vigilance is

required when navigating in this area. Visitors are particularly

requested to give the Wightlink ferry a wide berth as it enters and

leaves the harbour.

As we go to press, Yarmouth Harbour Commissioners are

proceeding with Phases 2 and 3 of the planned harbour

development, with work due to be completed in time for Easter 2013.

This will conclude the harbour development, creating more walk

ashore pontoons and finger berths with power and water, making

best use of the water space, constructing a new quay wall and

installing a new crane with an environmentally friendly washdown

facility. Previous phases also saw the redesigned layout with the

initial walk ashore pontoons and a pontoon area, near the RNLI

lifeboat berth and adjacent to the emergency slipway, that will be

used for RIBs and small craft at lunchtimes and overnight walk

ashore pontoon berths for yachts.

HARBOUR


Yarmouth Harbour has a range of facilities including a crane on

South Quay, maximum load 5 tonnes, showers and toilets, a

launderette, gas, WiFi in the Harbour Office reception area, night

watchpersons, waste disposal facilities, and a power washer.

There are several slipways that the public may use in Yarmouth. The

largest slipway is on the corner between the South Quay and the

Town Quay; accessed via the Wightlink marshalling area. At the

western end of the South Quay there is another small but steep

slipway, close to the Harbour Office. South of the swing bridge

across the Western Yar River, on the east bank of the river, adjacent

to the dinghy park there is a small slipway. Other slipways are

located at Harold Hayles boatyard and at Yarmouth Sailing Club.

If intending to pass through the Yar Swing Bridge into the river during

the summer season, boat owners are requested to co-operate by

synchronising their bridge use around a schedule of fixed opening

times, as published on www.yarmouth-harbour.co.uk. For winter

operation, a minimum of a half hour's notice is required, and by

arrangement with the Harbour Office on VHF Ch 68 or by phone on

01983 760321. The punctuality of boat arrivals to a close but safe

proximity to the bridge is essential to prevent road traffic congestion.

64 NEWTOWN HARBOUR

NEW

TOWN HARBOUR


Newtown Harbournewtown Harbour, on the isle of Wight, lies to the west of

newport and east of Yarmouth. newtown is a national nature

reserve, a fragile area for wildlife and a low key, quiet, and

unspoilt location. The estuary is probably the best example of

an undisturbed natural harbour on the south coast.

Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of theplace but also to respect its charm and character and keep noiseand disturbance to a minimum.

The winding estuary at Newtown has provided a sheltered harbourfor boats over many centuries. It is thought to have once beencapable of accommodating much larger ships than the pleasurecraft which use it today. The silting up of the channels led to thedecline of Newtown as the harbour became difficult to navigate.

These days, many of Newtown's visitors arrive by small boats anduse the moorings which are managed by the National Trust. They areattracted by the beautiful scenery, peaceful setting, and theabundant wildlife which thrives on the nature reserve.

When approaching Newtown from either east or west, vesselsshould keep to the north of the west cardinal fairway buoy. uponapproaching the buoy, keep to the west of the buoy and thenproceed inbound keeping the leading marks in alignment.

The minimum draft in the entrance at Low Water Springs isapproximately 2m, therefore boats can enter Newtown river at LowWater. However, vessels should navigate with caution at this time.Prudence and good seamanship should suggest arrival on a risingtide!

The leading marks are on a bearing of 130°. The speed limit is amaximum of 5 knots. If a vessel, such as a fully loaded rIB, iscreating excessive wash at 5 knots then speed should be reducedfurther. Depths vary throughout the estuary.

66 COWES & RIVER MEDINA

COWES & RIVER MEDINA


Cowes & River Medinacowes is fortunate to enjoy the benefits of its geography and

history. its position at the centre of the Solent, with a harbour

that's easily accessible and a river navigable as far as newport,

has made it the isle of Wight's main port as well as a popular

destination harbour and event centre for sailing and

powerboating.

cowes' history is steeped in yachting tradition. Even before the 1815founding in London of The yacht club, which went on to becomethe royal yacht Squadron, cowes was a fashionable watering place.The cowes regatta, which was based on the annual licensing of thelocal pilot vessels and races between them, was a popular spectatorsport for visitors even before the advent of cowes Week. WhenQueen Victoria's court was at osborne House the town becamefamous for yachting and social events.

Today, cowes has evolved to meet the demands of a growing leisuremarine audience and tourist visitors. The harbour and river offer easyaccess and a choice of mooring types, either close to the town or inthe more tranquil stretches of the river Medina. In addition to leisurecraft the harbour and river see a large number of commercialmovements including red Funnel car ferries, high-speed red Jetferries, and cargo vessels up to 100m.

The approach to cowes is fairly straightforward by day or night butcaution is always advised especially at or near Springs when strongtides run across cowes roads which can easily set you off course.Hazards include the numerous mooring buoys to the east of cowesentrance and areas of foul ground and drying banks to the west(rocks); you need to constantly monitor your position. The red Jetferries often approach and depart the No. 1 and 2 fairway buoys athigh speed and the red Funnel car ferries should not be obstructed;rule 9 applies in the fairway which extends approximately 500m tothe north of the No. 1 and No. 2 buoys. Small craft may opt to usethe small craft channel that connects the eastern approaches tocowes with the main fairway opposite Town Quay, enabling smallvessels to avoid the main harbour entrance when approaching/departing cowes from/to the north and east.

The depth in the small craft channel may be as little as chart datum.As a rule of thumb, if your draught is more than the current tideheight you should avoid using the channel. The current tide heightcan be found on the cowes.co.uk home page or on the tide boardslocated at Town Quay and the Shrape Beacon. Vessels using thechannel should stay below 6 knots and pass to seaward of theShrape Beacon and between the three pairs of red and green buoys.

The best approach is from the north cardinal buoy Prince consort,approximately 4 cables due north of the entrance and keeping closeto the starboard-hand marker No.1, following the starboard side ofthe channel. once past No. 4 port-hand buoy the cross tide isconsiderably reduced and the entrance is easier. At LW Springs it isimportant to monitor your depth and stay well within the channel asthere are drying heights at chart datum on the eastern side.

There is a 6 knot speed limit within cowes Harbour. All vessels withengines are advised to proceed under power when navigating withinthe main fairway, along the river Medina, or in the vicinity of thechain Ferry. The Town Quay basin and surrounding area are oftenbusy and vessels must keep watch for red Funnel car ferry and redJet catamaran movements.

The cowes chain Ferry or Floating Bridge as it is also known,operates throughout the year for around 18 hours each day andtakes passengers and vehicles across the narrow mouth of the riverMedina estuary between cowes and East cowes. Depending on thetide and position of the chain Ferry in the river, the depth ofnavigable water above the level of the chains does vary beingdeepest in the centre of the fairway and steadily decreasing towardsthe banks of the river Medina and at the bow of the ferry. With thechain Ferry berthed on either the cowes or East cowes side, thedepth of navigable water above the chains is a minimum of 1.7mbelow chart datum in the centre of the fairway. Beware of strongtides in the vicinity of the chain Ferry, especially to the east of thefairway over Spring tides during the ebb when the tidal rate can beover 4 knots. For further information contact the Ferry Manager on01983 293041.

cowes owes much of its popularity to its location in the centre ofthe Solent and its position midway between Weymouth (46 nauticalmiles) and Brighton (53 nautical miles), in the centre of the mostpopular sailing area in the country. As a result, during the summerseason there are lots of recreational craft moored on buoys,pontoons, and pile moorings within cowes Harbour and along theriver Medina.

74 WOOTTON CREEK

WOOTTON CREEK


Wootton CreekWootton creek is one of the lovelier creeks in the Solent, with

wooded valleys sweeping down to a winding creek. Midway

between cowes and ryde, it was once used by trading sailing

vessels visiting the brickworks at ash Lake, and the tide mill at

the head of the creek where the Sloop inn now stands.

Today, there is little left apart from the old names. If trading bargescould navigate to the head of the creek, then visiting yachts shouldeasily make their way at least as far as the pontoons of the royalVictoria yacht club (rVyc) at the entrance to the creek. It should beremembered that those skippers worked their tides, and even today70 foot ketches drawing over 8 foot have laid alongside the rVycpontoons, but have swiftly departed once the tide is on the ebb!

An ideal time to visit is when High Water is over a lunchtime,meaning a good height of tide, and time to sample the rVychospitality at its bar and dining room. It is well-liked by visitors, andpopular with rallies, and as a destination for passage races.

Be aware that the direction of buoyage in the eastern Solent is fromeast to west. Pilotage is straightforward with a compass,dependable echo sounder, and a good lookout.

The entrance to Wootton creek is beset by hazards to the east andwest. It is a busy car ferry port, with regular Wightlink sailingsthroughout the day and night. To the east, are drying gravel banksthat have been known to embarrass a passing ferry. To the west arerock ledges coming out from the shore, and the dangerous Woottonrocks themselves. yachts close inshore may have local knowledgeand lifting keels!

The entrance to Wootton creek is best taken from the north cardinal,Wootton Beacon. It lies approximately 3.5nm from cowes and only1.5nm from ryde Pier. It is best approached an hour or so eitherside of High Water on the first attempt. The ferry fairway is lit, withan occulting sectored light, and there is plenty of shore lighting onthe link-span.

No matter from which point of the compass you're approaching, it isbest to stay to the north of Wootton Beacon for your approach.once at Wootton Beacon, if safe from entering and departing ferries,turn southwest and run down the western side of the ferry channel,staying outside of the channel itself. Keep an eye on the echosounder, there should be plenty of water, if there isn't, then youwon't get very far into the creek! Be aware that you may find ferrieswaiting to dock at the ferry terminal to the west of the fairway.

By the time you come to No. 7 dolphin, you'll see the ferry link-spanon your port hand, and the Wootton creek port and starboard buoysahead of you; these are maintained and positioned as needed by theQueen’s Harbour Master (QHM) at Portsmouth. Head through them,and if heading further up the creek you will see the leading marksoff to starboard on the opposite bank.

If calling at the rVyc, you will see their pontoons ahead of you.Berthing is straightforward, but be aware that at some states of tidethere will be some flow across the pontoons. Do not approachthrough the private rVyc moorings, or indeed try to pick up one, asthere are countless pick-up buoys and lines. If vessels are alreadyberthed alongside hail and ask to raft up. The rVyc Manager mayask you to move your boat to accommodate other visitors. (Pontoonfees can be paid at the rVyc bar, or if the club is closed, droppedthrough the letterbox by the club entrance.) There is fresh water onthe pontoons, showers and toilets in the clubhouse, a slipway, wastefacilities, and an excellent bar and restaurant.

The creek alongside the pontoons will dry, so unless you areprepared to take the ground, you must depart once the ebb starts to make. The water will seem to empty quite slowly for the firstcouple of hours, but be aware that around the third hour the tidegoes away very quickly; do not linger over that last pint at the bar!The bottom is irregular in shape and consistency, and carefulfendering, tending of lines, and a watchful eye is needed as yourvessel takes the ground.

The speed limit in the creek is 5 knots. The tidal current is relativelybenign, seldom reaching above 4 knots although just after High Waterat Springs, the sluice gates under Wootton Bridge are openedconsiderably increasing the flow in the upper reaches. There are novisitor moorings in the creek and anchoring in the channel is prohibited.Anchoring outside the channel is not recommended due to theproliferation of abandoned ground chains and other mooring tackle.There is a council owned public slipway suitable for small vesselsbetween the Sloop Inn and the bridge at the head of the creek.

The village of Wootton Bridge offers a full range of facilities; Postoffice, take-aways, launderette, doctor and vet, butcher,supermarket and wine warehouse; just outside the village is agarage. It's about 30 minutes walk from the rVyc, or take thedinghy up the creek on the tide and land on the public slipway onthe west bank at the head of the creek, right by the Sloop Inn.contact: royal Victoria yacht club, 91 Fishbourne Lane,Fishbourne, Isle of Wight, Po33 4Eu.

78 BEMBRIDGE HARBOUR

BEMBRIDGE HARBOUR


Bembridge HarbourBembridge Harbour lies on the eastern tip of the isle of Wight,

just a short sail from many Solent harbours with chichester,

Langstone, and Portsmouth all within a 10 mile radius. for

yachtsmen embarking on a channel crossing Bembridge

Harbour has the added attraction that it is at least an hour

closer to the continent than the mainland marinas at this end of

the Solent.

Bembridge Harbour is a large, picturesque and sheltered harbourwith beautiful beaches and, although the entrance is shallow andrestricted by the tides, once inside the harbour a warm welcomeawaits visiting yachts whatever the weather! It has the two villages ofBembridge and St. Helens surrounding it, and the small town ofBrading is a few miles away.

Bembridge Harbour is designated a 'Site of Special ScientificInterest' in recognition of its significance as a habitat for wildlife. Theharbour's European importance is confirmed by its status as a'Special Protection Area' and it is designated a 'wetland ofinternational importance' under the ramsar convention. The harbourhas an area of saltmarsh as well as other important habitats such assand dunes, vegetated shingle, and saline lagoons. The harbour'ssaltmarsh and inter-tidal mud provide feeding grounds for winteringand migratory waterfowl and the Island’s only rSPB site edges ontothe harbour.

The entrance to Bembridge Harbour is due south of PortsmouthHarbour entrance and is marked by a tide gauge topped with ayellow cross. As you pass the tide gauge you will see the village ofSeaview to starboard and the St. Helens Fort to port. Vessels shouldleave the tide gauge to their port side on the approach and this willline them up with the channel markers which are in pairs, the firstpair being buoys 1 and 2. Buoys 1 and 2 are lit at night, all otherbuoys have reflective tapes. on passing buoys 6a and 7a you will berunning parallel to the shore with the harbour entrance appearing inthe distance. on big Spring tides beware the current which can bevery strong through into the harbour.

once inside the harbour there is a drying beach anchorage on yourport side adjacent to Bembridge Sailing club. Approximately halfway down the harbour on your starboard side you will come to theDuver Marina visitors' pontoons which give access to the shore onthe north side of the harbour. rafting may be necessary at peaktimes.

VEN

TNOR HAVEN


Ventnor HavenVentnor, on the south coast of the isle of Wight, is a sun trap

bay sheltered by high cliffs on which the terraced town is built.

a steep road winds down from the town past the famous

cascade gardens to the seafront.

The Haven at Ventnor was constructed in 2003 as part of a longterm strategy to promote Ventnor as a working seaside town. Thisincluded the provision of a fair weather haven for visiting craft whichnow provides the only stopping-off point along the south coast ofthe Isle of Wight, as well as a new access facility for local boatowners, anglers, and other interest groups.

More recently, private investors have provided further facilitiesincluding a harbour-side cafe and coffee shop, boat builders, boat charter, a fish landing stage with fishery outlet, and fish andchip shop.

In the summer months, Ventnor Haven becomes a hive of activity forsmall leisure crafts, charter fishing and local sight seeing trips aswell as the stop off point for small vessels and rIBs venturingaround the south side of the Island.

The entrance to Ventnor Haven is quite a navigational exercise andonly suitable in certain weather conditions and tides. However,despite the difficulties of attempting Ventnor, on a clear calm day itis probably one of the best runs round from the Solent with abeautiful little seaside town waiting to be discovered.

on approaching Ventnor Haven, beware of races which occur southof St catherine's Point to the west and Dunnose Point to the east.Almanacs should be consulted in advance to give information oneach race depending on the state of tide. The Haven mouth isapproached from the east and is lit after sunset by two fixednavigation lights (vertical). Entry and exit are recommended 2 hourseither side of High Water only with draught of less than 50cm. Stayclose to the southerly markers in the Haven entrance to avoidsandbanks which form on the northern side of the mouth. Do notattempt to approach in easterly to southerly conditions as swell mayoccur at the entrance.

The Haven is not suitable for sailing boats or motorboats whichcannot dry out. The Haven entrance dries completely at Spring LowWater and is very shallow during Neap Lows. The depth in theHaven is variable, dependent on sediment movement and durationsince the last dredge.

Ventnor Haven consists of two rock arms. The largest extendingseaward (south) from the site of the old pier before curving to thesoutheast. The smaller arm, some 58m to the east, extends seawardtowards the first arm with a 24m gap.

Shelter is reasonable in the lee of the rock arms during southwestthrough to northeasterly winds, and extremely vulnerable in eastthrough to south-southeasterlies when swells can enter. cautionshould be exercised as the Haven is exposed to strong winds fromall directions except northwest to northeast.

KEYHAVEN 83

KEYH

AVEN


Keyhaven is an attractive harbour at the western tip of the

Solent lying within an area of unspoilt Hampshire coast. The

harbour is shielded by the massive shingle bar that leads to the

famous Hurst castle situated at its strategic position, guarding

the western approaches to the Solent and originally built by

Henry Viii.

Keyhaven has many qualities ranging from the extent of shelteredwater, which makes it so suitable for teaching youngsters sailing andcanoeing, to the great wealth of nature conservation and landscapeinterest.

To approach Keyhaven from the west, enter the Solent by HurstPoint and beware of The Trap if coming in via the north channel. Beaware of strong tidal cross streams. The entrance is approximately0.5m north-northwest of Hurst Point. There are two unlit buoys, onered and one green near the entrance at North Point. The depthbetween these buoys is virtually at chart datum so whatever heightof tide is shown at that time is how much water there is.

Normally, entry is restricted to 2 hours each side of HW. red andwhite hooped transit posts line up at a bearing of 308º. Proceedthrough the buoys until a red buoy is abeam on your port side. Enterthe river around this buoy. Note the first of many starboard handlaterals for the channel. When entering from the east, and when PortAlbert is abeam turn to starboard and head towards the red andgreen buoys. Then follow the directions above. It is not advisable toto attempt entering Keyhaven in strong easterly winds.

There is a 4 knot speed limit once inside the river. Anchorage isclose to the spit on your port side. The deepest water is alwayswhere the mooring buoys are. There are no dedicated visitormoorings. Pick up any spare buoy and contact the river Warden onVHF 37/M1 or P1 or phone 01590 645695. charges for bothmooring and anchoring apply.

The West Solent Boat Builders yard is situated immediately behindthe quay providing a full range of boatyard facilities, includingcranage. on the north side of the quay, a slipway with a cradle isused to haul out vessels too heavy to be lifted by crane.

84 LYMINGTON HARBOUR

LYMINGTON HARBOUR


Lymington HarbourLymington Harbour is located within an attractive estuary on the

Hampshire coast at the western end of the Solent. The estuary

is 2 miles long with the entrance channel lying between salt

marshes. It is shared by yachtsmen, fishermen, and the Isle of

Wight ferry.

Lymington River is well sheltered and access is available at all states

of tide making it a popular destination for visiting yachtsmen. The

speed limit is 6 knots with an advisory limit of 4 knots upstream of

the wave screens near the entrance to the Lymington Yacht Haven.

There is a double High Water at Springs which gives a stand of 3

hours. At Neaps there is a stand of 2 hours. However, wind direction

and force and barometric pressure can materially alter these

conditions. The tidal range at Springs is 2.5m and at Neaps 1.5m.

On approach the first thing you see is the yacht club starting platform

with a distant backdrop of masts in the Yacht Haven marina. Leave

the platform well to starboard. Jack in the Basket is a single red pile

with a basket top-mark to the southwest of the entrance. Water depth

in much of the marked channel is in excess of -2.0m below chart

datum. However, on the marked channel margins the depth of water

is shallower in some locations.

Please give way to the Wightlink ferries which run every 30 minutes

at peak times. For guidance refer to 'Small craft beware ferries'

section on www.lymingtonharbour.co.uk.

At night, the main channel piles are lit, green to starboard and red to

port, all flashing every two seconds. Leading lights for entering the

river are fixed red on 319°T. In Short Reach (as the river bends to the

right) there are two red and white transit posts lit by fixed white

directional lights to the west of the river at the south end and two

black and white posts similarly lit on the east side of the Reach at the

north end. These are to assist the ferries to line up and pass in the

river. Ferries may wait here for one coming from the opposite

direction.

To the west of the marked navigation channel in Short Reach in the

vicinity of the No. 10 and Cocked Hat port-side beacons there is a

100m long rock breakwater. The northeastern end, nearest the

channel, is marked by a beacon displaying two fixed red lights

vertically disposed. Visit Lymington Harbour website to see Local

Notice to Mariners for full details of the location coordinates and

navigation advice.

BEAULIEU

RIVER


Beaulieu RiverThe Beaulieu river is centrally located on the Solent, and one of

the most picturesque rivers in the south. forming part of the

Beaulieu Estate, Beaulieu river is one of the few privately owned

rivers in the world and is largely unspoilt, both in terms of its

landscape and as a haven for wildlife. The banks play host to an

exceptional variety of habitat with an equally varied display of

flora and fauna.

When approaching Beaulieu river from the east, keep the lit southcardinal to starboard off Stone Point and steer to the vicinity of a lit,yellow spherical racing buoy close to the transit which should be324° with the leading marks aligned with the front port No. 2 beaconand the eastern edge of Lepe House. To approach from the west,keep well off the mud banks of Warren Flat and Beaulieu Spit andagain steer a course towards the racing buoy and transit as above.The Beaulieu Spit dolphin marks the entrance, a large port handtripod. It is recommended to avoid the entrance 2 hours either sideof LW to avoid the bar 0.8m depth at LW Springs. If your boat draws5 feet, you can enter the river 11⁄2 hours after LW Springs. Thenavigation channel at the mouth of the river is defined with red andgreen piles and further upstream, branches of willow painted redand green known as 'withies' are used.

SOUTHAMPTON WATER 89

SOUTH

AMPTON WATER


Southampton WaterSouthampton Water is an extremely popular area for yachtsmen

because it offers sheltered cruising in nearly all weather

conditions, while the Hamble and Itchen Rivers are perfect for

leisurely exploration.

As one of the country's busiest and most successful deep-water

ports, Southampton is a natural choice for a wide range of customers

and trades, with facilities to handle virtually any type of cargo. Its

natural deep-water harbour and unique double tide allow unrestricted

access for the world's largest vessels.

ABP Southampton, in its role as the Statutory Harbour Authority for

Southampton Water, has a strong commitment to protecting the local

environment and plays an active role in ensuring that a balance of

activities can be maintained, allowing port operations, recreational

sailing, and wildlife to co-exist.

In addition to its varied commercial activities Southampton Water is a

haven for yachts and leisure craft, and ABP strives to preserve the

safety of all users including recreational boat owners as they sail the

waters of the Solent.

Contact: ABP Southampton, Vessel Traffic Services Centre, 37

Berth, Eastern Docks, Southampton, SO14 3GG. Tel: 02380 608208.

www.southamptonvts.co.uk. Before contacting VTS by telephone,please consider whether the answer to your question can be foundon the website.

Keep your VHF tuned to Ch 12, the Port working frequency, and

listen for traffic information from the Harbour Master’s Operations

Room, Call Sign 'Southampton VTS' (Vessel Traffic Services). The

VTS Centre guards Ch 9, 12, 14, 16, 20 and monitors Ch 71 and 74.

50º40'.00n, 01º17'.05W (ent)

The following extracts from the Yachtsman’s Guide to SouthamptonWater and its Approaches, and Southampton Notice to Mariners No.

23 of 2012, are reproduced with the permission of ABP Southampton.

Facts to keep in mind: The number of large commercial ships serving

the Port of Southampton and the number of recreational craft afloat in

local waters is increasing. Most commercial vessels you meet will

have a ABP Southampton Pilot on board regardless of the ship's flag.

They will be working on and listening to VHF Ch 12.

Most large ships travel at a speed of between 10-15 knots whilst in

the Solent and Southampton Water. The lower limit will vary from ship

to ship and is 'as safe navigation permits'. For various reasons, ships

travel faster than you might think, even in congested areas. Light,

partially loaded or unevenly trimmed ships may require to maintain a

higher 'as safe navigation permits' speed in order to remain under full

control.

It takes less than 10 minutes for a fast ship to reach you from the

visible horizon in clear weather, and in hazy conditions it takes a lot

less. At 10 knots, a ship travels 1 nautical mile in six minutes; at 15

knots it takes only four minutes. Large deep draught ships cannot

easily avoid small craft in narrow channels; it is up to you to stay

clear.

A ship that is slowing down does not steer well; it needs the propeller

action on the rudder to respond. When the ship's engines are put 'full

astern', its manoeuvrability will be affected. Remember that it takes

time and considerable distance for a ship to stop.

There are numerous other small vessels operating within the Port of

Southampton. Watch out for ferries, hydrofoils, tugs towing barges,

especially at night, when unlit barges may remain invisible.

What can you do? Avoid sailing in the main navigational channels

and fairways, especially in poor visibility. Obey Rule 9 of the ColRegs

for conduct in narrow channels by keeping to the starboard side of

the channel and crossing only when this does not impede the

passage of a large vessel that can safely navigate only within the

narrow channel.

Do not underestimate the speed of ships. If your boat is slow, allow

sufficient time to take effective evasive action in the vicinity of large

ships.

Be visible. At night make sure your navigation lights can be seen. If

you see the navigation lights of a vessel and you think you haven't

been seen, get out of the way. Remember, from the bridge of a

loaded container ship or large tanker, the Master or Pilot will lose

sight of you a third of a mile ahead, although you can see the ship at

all times!

Keep watch at night. Even on a clear night you will have difficulty

seeing a big ship approach. Remember that your lights will not be

easily spotted from the ship. Watch the ship's lights. If you see both

sidelights, you are dead ahead - move out fast! Be aware that ships

alter course at West Bramble and Calshot.

Know whistle signals. Five or more short blasts on the whistle is the

'Keep Clear' signal. Check and see if it is for you - and if it is - give

way. Three short blasts means 'My engines are gong astern'.

Know flag signals and shapes. Large ships proceeding seawards will

fly flag ‘E’ over the answering pennant indicating the vessel will turn

to port at West Bramble buoy and make for the Nab (east).

90 SOUTHAMPTON WATER

SOUTH

AMPTON WATER


Southampton Water


SOUTH

AMPTON WATER


A vessel displaying the answering pennant over flag ‘W’ indicates the

vessel will depart the Solent via The Needles (west). A large ship

displaying a cylinder on her yardarm during the day or three red

lights in a vertical line at night indicates the ship is severely restricted

in her manoeuvrability so give her a wide berth.

If you believe you have not been seen or you are unsure of a ship's

intentions, call them on Ch 12, then shift to a working frequency (6 or

an alternative) for inter-ship safety messages.

Safety in small vessels: A speed limit of 6 knots (over the ground)

applies to all craft proceeding north of the imaginary line drawn from

Hythe Pier through the Weston Shelf buoy to the Weston Shore

unless granted an exemption by the Harbour Master.

Although considered to be sheltered waters, Southampton Water and

the Solent can be extremely hazardous. The six mile stretch of

Southampton Water is exceedingly busy and has, on average,

70,000 commercial vessel and ferry movements per year. Mariners in

'small vessels' are therefore reminded of the following requirements:

If not confined to the fairway, they should not use the fairway so as to

obstruct other vessels which can only navigate within the fairway.

When crossing the fairway, they should do so at right angles and not

diagonally. When crossing a fairway or turning they should not stop

or slow down so as to cause obstruction/damage to any other vessel.

As a general principle, they should navigate on the correct side of the

fairway.

RIVER HAMBLE & WARSASH


River Hamble & WarsashThe River Hamble is internationally famous for its sailing and

has been a ship and boat building centre for centuries. Whether

your interest is racing, power-boating or blue water cruising, the

Hamble has the facilities you need; deep water, easy access to

the Solent at all states of tide, plus world-class repair and

servicing yards.

The Hamble is perfect for weekend excursions into the Solent or as a

departure point for destinations further afield and is used extensively

by yachtsmen as a base when competing. Hamble Week, the

Hamble Winter Series, Warsash Spring Series, Bursledon Regatta,

national, European and world championships are run by yacht clubs

on the river and attract sailors from far and wide.

The river is not just a sailing Mecca, it is a nationally and

internationally important site for nature conservation and a bird

watchers' paradise. Riverside walks or simply watching the world go

by are popular pastimes.

The river is a constant hive of activity during the summer season and

therefore care should always be taken. Access to the River Hamble

is available at all states of tide, although waves can build up at the

entrance in a southwesterly wind combined with an ebb tide.

By day, from the vicinity of Hamble Point Buoy, follow the main

channel which is clearly marked with lit port and starboard-hand

piles. From the Warsash Maritime Academy Jetty, the starboard side

of the channel is clearly marked by four lit starboard-hand buoys. A

'preferred channel' mark (pile) is at the southern end of the first

pontoon encountered; leave it to port for the main channel.

Thereafter, the main channel is clearly marked with lit port and

starboard-hand piles.

At night, follow Hamble Common Directional light on a bearing of

352°, then Sailing Club Directional light on a bearing of 029° and

then follow the lit buoys and piles as above.

Depths obviously vary. Most marinas are dredged to 1.5m. Depths in

the main channel vary from at least 4m in the approaches, to 2.2m at

Bursledon Bend. Tidal streams can be very strong, particularly on the

ebb. Mariners are advised to keep to the centre line or to starboard

of the centre line and not too close to the entrance piles, especially at

Low Water.

Portsmouth & GosportPortsmouth is Britain's premier naval base and one of the

busiest harbours in the country. A very large natural harbour,

almost completely landlocked except for the narrow entrance,

with the approaches themselves well sheltered by the Isle

of Wight.

The Queen’s Harbour Master (QHM) Portsmouth is the regulatory

authority of the Dockyard Port of Portsmouth, an area of

approximately 50 square miles that encompasses not only

Portsmouth Harbour itself, but includes all the waters from Cowes in

the west to Hayling Island down to Sandown Bay in the east, with the

single exception of Bembridge Harbour.

Traffic co-ordination for shipping entering and leaving Portsmouth

Harbour is performed by Harbour Control which is manned 24 hours

a day. The QHM and his staff have to ensure that the 117,000 yearly

shipping movements under their control are safely carried out and

with the minimum impact to the surrounding area.

To facilitate the safe passage of small craft to and from Portsmouth

Harbour, a 'Small Boat Channel' exists for vessels less than 20m in

length on the western side of the harbour entrance. The northern and

southern extremities of the Small Boat Channel are at Ballast beacon

and No. 4 Bar buoy. Remember, small boats are extremely difficult to

see and the harbour entrance is a blind bend to larger vessels. Enter

and leave the harbour through the Small Boat Channel.

All craft fitted with engines, when navigating in the approach channel

to Portsmouth Harbour, are to proceed under power between No. 4

Bar buoy and the Ballast beacon. Vessels are only to cross the main

channel when they are to the north of Ballast beacon, and permission

has been obtained from the QHM on VHF Ch 11.

The Small Boat Channel may only be entered or exited by vessels

approaching from the east at its northern or southern extremities. A

traffic pattern is established around Ballast beacon; small boats

entering the harbour are to pass close to the east of Ballast beacon

and those exiting close to the west. If crossing the harbour entrance,

do so to the north of Ballast beacon or to the south of No. 4 Bar

buoy.

Keep to the starboard side of the Small Boat Channel and adjust

speed to remain within the channel rather than overtake and be

forced into the main channel. Small boats may continue to use the

Small Boat Channel when the main channel is closed for the

passage of a large vessel.

Do not underestimate the speed of ships. If your boat is slow, allow

sufficient time to take evasive action in the vicinity of large ships. Be

visible. At night make sure your navigation lights can be seen. If you

see the navigation lights of a vessel and think you have not been

seen, get out of the way. Carry a radar reflector high on your boat.

Remember, from the bridge of a loaded container ship or large

tanker, the captain or pilot will lose sight of you a third of a mile

ahead, although you can see the ship at all times. Ships with deep

draught may have less room for manoeuvre than is immediately

apparent.

At night be extra vigilant as, even on a clear night, you will have

difficulty seeing a big ship approach. You might see it first as a black

shadow against a background of shore lights, or as a growing

shadow, at that point you are not far apart. Remember that your

lights will not be easily spotted from the ship.

It is essential that all mariners operating north of a line between

Outer Spit Buoy and Gilkicker Point maintain a close watch on VHF

Ch 11, for vessel traffic information from QHM Harbour Control. In an

emergency, if you believe you have not been seen or you are unsure

of a ship's intentions, call them on VHF Ch 11 or 16, then shift to a

working frequency for inter-ship safety messages.

The Swashway is an important channel for shallow draught vessels

approaching and leaving Portsmouth Harbour. This channel is

defined by a red beacon which is sited half a cable to the south of

Fort Blockhouse, small boats transiting between the Inner Swashway

and the Small Boat Channel are to leave this to port. It should be

noted that hovercraft and high-speed catamaran ferries often transit

the area en-route to and from Ryde at speeds in excess of 24 knots.

As non-displacement craft, hovercraft usually navigate outside the

Swashway in areas where depths are shallow.

The Spitbank area, as a whole, is regularly used for yacht racing and

regattas. Yachts and slow moving craft are advised to keep watch for

the possible approach of high-speed ferries and other fast craft.

High-speed craft are cautioned not to assume that other boats,

particularly those whom they are overtaking, are aware of their

presence, and are to give them a sufficiently wide berth. Extra

caution is to be taken when operating in the vicinity of the harbour

entrance to prevent small and less powerful boats being swept into

mid-channel from the Small Boat Channel by the strong cross-tide.

Portsmouth & GosportThe speed limit within Portsmouth Harbour is 10 knots and the same

within 0.5nm of the line of MLWS in any part of the Port of

Portsmouth outside the harbour. The speed limit in each case is to be

taken as 'speed through the water'.

When visibility in the harbour or approach channel is less than 0.25

of a nautical mile the QHM may declare the fog routine to be in force.

Small boats may proceed with caution but must keep clear of the

main navigable channels and the approach channel. The QHM will

direct that the routine is in force, and when it has ended, by

broadcasts on VHF Ch 11 or 13.

Small Boat Channel and access to Gunwharf Quays and Town

Camber. The Small Boat Channel, as displayed on Admiralty charts,

is defined by Ballast Beacon at its northern extremity and No 4 Bar

Buoy to the south. As the harbour entrance is a blind bend for large

vessels, small boats operating near the harbour entrance are often

difficult to detect, the following rules therefore apply to all small boats:

1. Small Boats must enter and leave the harbour through the Small

Boat Channel.

2. All craft fitted with engines, when navigating in the Approach

Channel to Portsmouth Harbour, are to proceed under power

between No 4 Bar Buoy, Ballast Beacon and Gunwharf Quays/Town

Camber.

3. The Small Boat Channel may only be entered or exited by vessels

approaching from the vicinity of Gunwharf Quays/Town Camber north

of Ballast Beacon.

4. A traffic pattern is established at Ballast Beacon; small boats

entering the harbour are to pass close to the east of Ballast Beacon,

those exiting close to the west.

5. Small boats, unless authorised by QHM, are not to loiter in the

Small Boat Channel.

6. Small boats should remain on the Starboard side of the Small Boat

Channel, adjusting their speed to remain within the Small Boat

Channel to avoid overtaking or leaving the Channel.

7. Immediately prior to departure from Gunwharf Quays/Town

Camber, small boats are to request permission from QHM on

VHF Ch 11, to cross the harbour to Ballast Beacon before entering

the Channel.

Note - There are no visitor berths or moorings at Gunwharf Quays,and boats will only be permitted to cross the harbour to GunwharfQuays if they have an assigned berth. The Gunwharf BerthingManager can be contacted by VHF Ch 80 or 02392 836732.

PORT SOLENT


Port SolentPort Solent is located in the northeast corner of Portsmouth

Harbour, near the historic Portchester castle. Portchester is one

of the best preserved of the roman 'Saxon shore' forts. There

are spectacular views over the Solent from the castle's towers.

The entrance to Portchester Lake lies about a mile north ofPortsmouth Harbour entrance; it is marked to the west by pile 57and to the east by pile 95. The whole channel is marked by red pilesto the west and by green piles to the east. Twenty of the piles are litby navigational lights.

Although the channel in the south is wide, the best water is definedby a number of craft moored to large buoys, which are not lit, andshould be left to port. At night this reach of the channel is clearlydefined by lit starboard hand piles. As you clear the moored craftand in the vicinity of lit pile 63 to port and lit pile 88 to starboard, thechannel narrows and starts a long, slow left-hand bend. North of pile86 the bend tightens and the best water lies close to the three litport piles. on the right-hand side opposite these piles is Tipner Lakewhich is a cul-de-sac and should be avoided.

As you proceed around the bend the gates at lit piles no 68 to portand no 80 to starboard mark the sharp turn left into the final sectionof channel with Portchester castle to port. Note there is a speedlimit in Portsmouth Harbour of 10 knots and there is an advisoryspeed limit of 5 knots in the upper reaches of Portchester channelpast the castle. It is not permitted to stop or linger in the safety arcsof Tipner range.

There is abundant wildlife in Langstone Harbour which remains an

area of real wilderness alongside the major city of Portsmouth.

Sailors, boaters and other water sports enthusiasts share the harbour

with the resident wildlife, and providing a little consideration is shown,

all the different uses can coexist in harmony. Langstone Harbour

contains a number of nesting islands and landing is not allowed.

Visitors should avoid trampling the mud and saltmarsh plants to

ensure their survival into the future.

Langstone Harbour is a shallow, natural harbour with extensive

mudflats which are exposed during low tide. The whole harbour is

one of Hampshire's several 'Sites of Special Scientific Interest'

(SSSI) with international status. Together with neighbouring

Chichester Harbour, it is a Ramsar Wetland of International

Importance, and part of the Solent European Marine Site.

The approach to Langstone Harbour is easy in most weather

conditions, but best from High Water -3 to +1 hour. The entrance

channel lies between the East and West Winner drying banks, which

offer some protection. Once close to the Fairway Beacon,

approximately 1 mile to the south of the harbour entrance, in line with

a conspicuous chimney, steer 344° to just clear East Winner. The

entrance itself deepens and favours the west side.

The harbour speed limit is 10 knots and because of the

environmental sensitivity of the area's wildlife, there are also

restrictions on certain activities. Chichester Harbour is accessible

under the Hayling road bridge for vessels of low air draught at certain

states of the tide.

All vessels using Langstone Harbour are obliged to pay harbour

dues; this includes vessels visiting Southsea Marina. All vessels on

the water must display their daily or annual plaque.

Fuel, water, and waste reception facilities are available at the Hayling

pontoon. Harbour Office call up is VHF Ch 12/16; the working

frequency is Ch 12.

CHICHESTER HARBOUR


Chichester Harbourchichester Harbour, with 11 square miles of water, 17 miles of

well marked and lit channels and with easy access to the

Solent, is an ideal water recreation centre. The sheltered waters

are ideal for racing and day sailing and its channels offer secure

moorings for cruising vessels. With up to 10,000 boats sharing

this facility, at peak times the harbour can be congested. in

addition the harbour is of national and international importance

for nature conservation.

The low lying entrance to chichester Harbour is not easilydistinguished against the backdrop of the South Downs and isbordered on both sides by extensive drying banks; West Pole,Middle Pole, and East Pole Sands. A deep-water channel runningbetween these banks to the harbour entrance is interrupted by a barjoining West to Middle Pole and East Pole Sands; this feature variesin position and height and is dredged to maintain a charted depth of1.5m. The width of the dredged channel across the Bar is less than200 yards.

Vessels approaching from the west are advised to shape a coursefor West Pole Beacon. on rounding the beacon aim to pass betweenEastoke Buoy and West Winner Beacons leaving the Bar Beacon toport. When approaching the harbour from the east, mariners areadvised not to cross the 5m contour until West Pole Beacon bears310º T. on reaching the beacon steer for the harbour entrancekeeping the Bar Beacon close to port. Vessels on, or close to theeast of, a transit line passing through West Pole Beacon and the BarBeacon will keep clear of West Pole sands and avoid the shingle spitthat periodically extends into the harbour north of Eastoke Beacon.

chichester Bar is dredged to around 1.5m below chart datum givinga depth of 2m at Mean Low Water Springs. However, throughaccretion and after gales the bottom can vary markedly and it isthen prudent to assume a least depth of 0.8m below chart datum.Be aware that ebb tides in the entrance to the harbour can attain arate of up to 6 knots on Springs. With a falling tide and strong windsfrom a southerly sector a dangerous sea may be encountered. In these conditions it is advisable to exercise caution and cross thebar between 3 hours before and 1 hour after High Water Springs. Invery strong winds entry should not be attempted.

up-to-date tide and weather information at the Harbour Entrance isavailable at www.chimet.co.uk or from the Harbour office.

WHERE WILL YOUR NEXT EVENT TAKE YOU?

Clipper Events sets the standard in marine events for staff incentives, team building, leadership training and entertaining clients.

Sailing may be the theme but developing relationships, business opportunities and talent is at the heart of what we do. Our events are exhilarating, fun and carefully designed to meet your specific business needs.

Sailing offers a hands-on experience and the natural networking environment onboard helps to further relationships and promote internal communication.

Compete in an iconic race, host a companywide regatta or charter a single boat to bring together clients and employees while they get to grips with racing one yacht, or the whole fleet. Teams are led by the same professionals who prepare novice crews for the famous Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and require no previous sailing experience.

This stems from forging close working relationships with our clients, listening to their needs, being a sounding board and

1) Do you think you might be paying too much tax?

2) Do your accountants actively help you to make the most of your business and to keep more of what you earn?

If you can answer “Yes” to both of these questions then there is probably no need to call us, but if you are not sure or feel that things could be better, then we would be delighted to

speak with you.

We are experts in helping owner-managed businesses to

plain speaking approach, by getting to know our clients and by offering much more than just a year-end service.
