Despite Superyacht Presence, has the Boat Show in London Lost its Way?
 |
| Rebecca Ferguson, X Factor finalist, performing at the Sunseeker launch at the Show |
The Tullet Prebon London International Boat Show has seen, we are told, a seven per cent visitor increase over the figures for 2010 with nearly 110 thousand attendees. This figure was still two per cent below that of 2009 and begs the question have event organisers National Boat Shows (NBS) done enough to secure the show in yachting’s calendar of important events.
This year they tried a different format in an enlarged venue and tied the event together with the Outdoors Show and London Bike Show, but even then the total combined attendance only reached 140,164.
NBS says that the rejuvenation of the show helped to broaden its appeal and attract a more diverse range of visitors with the new layout including a Water Sport Action Pool, a new Boardwalk Area and a Used Boats Marina.
Regular attendees we spoke to were disappointed claiming that the show is loosing its original attraction. One said, “Sir Max Aitken originally launched the after Christmas show so that Fathers and sons went to look at boats while Mothers and daughters visited the London Department Store Sales before they all joined together as a family to see Pantomime in London’s West End.” He mourned the loss of the old setup adding, “All the attractions were together and this was spoiled when the Boat Show moved to a shed in the East End suburbs of London.”
Another told us “Earls Court was tacky yes, but with its fake seagull sounds and stylised village around a pond with boats afloat, it was a real show. When the music started and the fashion show began everyone stopped to look interested in cloths or not. That was showtime and this is nothing more than an exhibition of boats.”
One visitor who has travelled from the north of the country for every London and Southampton show told us that this was his last ever London show. Southampton is great but I think I will give Liverpool a chance next time. London has lost its way.”
Yet others heaped praise on the new idea of the used boat marina. According to NBS, more than 50 per cent of the used boats on display in the marina were sold at the show, with sea trials booked for the remaining craft.
Chris Cleverly, managing director at Princess Motor Yacht Sales, said “It’s well reported that the industry is experiencing challenging times, but this show has certainly given us a great sales and promotional platform,”
He reported having sold several boats to new, walk up, never-seen-before visitors adding “Our new 32 metre superyacht inside the hall added an extra dimension to our presence.”

Scope – Amount Recommended for Anchoring
A ship’s anchor relies upon the weight of the anchor chain (also called cable) to keep the forces acting on the anchor horizontal as much as possible. If the chain, at the anchor, is lifted 15 degrees it is estimated the anchor loses about half it’s holding power. Insufficient scope increases the risk of dragging anchor. Excess scope on the other hand increase the risk of damaging or breaking the chain.
When the amount of scope required is determined, the distance between the end of the hawsepipe and the water is usually taken into account but for convenience the mate usually reports the amount of chain at the waters edge – for example the bow might report “6 shots in the water’. It also can be (usually when heaving in) reported by how much is on deck.
Many references recommend a scope of between 5 and 7 (of chain) to 1 (water depth)
Nicholls’s Seamanship and Nautical Knowledge makes the following recommendations:
“The minimum scope of mild steel cable to use according to depths of water is given by the following rough guide:”
Below 20 m 6 to 8
20 m to 40 m 4 to 6
over 40 m less then 4
A ship may be required to anchor in as much as 100 meters of water (for example Fujairah Anchorage) with 10 shots of chain out the scope is less then 3 to 1.
Ultimately the master must determine how much scope to use based upon his experience.

Staying at Hermitage Bay Hotel
It is time for us to move from our rented apartment on Horsfield Hill to the wonderfully all-inclusive resort at Hermitage Bay.
This five star resort is in the north east of the island. It is best visited by SuperYacht or a four wheel drive vehicle as the approach road is “unadopted”.
At anchor off the hotel’s beautiful golden beach, illuminated like a fairy castle, was St Ekaterina, the 60 metre Benetti built as Xanadu. She is still available for charter through Camper & Nicholsons International.
The resort consists of luxury chalets on the beach and the hill side. It is definitely amongst the top hotel on the island and of special note is the food.
Far too many Caribbean hotels and restaurants ignore island cuisine, fearing that visitors might not like Callaloo or Salt Fish and Aki. Here at Hermitage they show no such reluctance, fusing Caribbean flavours, cultures and ingredients into meals fit for five star restaurants around the world.
Add to that the well trained attentive staff, whose discreet service is a model for others to follow and you have a recipe for a perfect all-inclusive hotel
