As we write this the sun is shining, there is a hint of spring in the air and the water is changing from its winter grey to something much more inviting. The 2015 season is almost upon us!

This year the East Coast Events Guide has grown up. We have a new consultant editor in the form of Peter Willis, best known for his role over the years with Classic Boat magazine; a keen sailor and founder of the Nancy Blackett Trust.

We have much more to say this year too with an additional 40 pages of features and over 300 events; some are East Coast regulars whilst others are taking place for the first time. We have everything from racing to boat shows, kayaking to stand up paddle boarding, tuition to fundraising activities. If it is happening on the East Coast and has something to do with the water then hopefully you will find it within these pages.

The Guide can only ever be as good as its content so please help us to keep it relevant and interesting. If you have an event organised or a story you would like to share or maybe an idea for a future edition then please get in touch - we would love to hear from you.

Take a look at our website www.eastcoast.events where once again you will find our discount offers. You can download special offers vouchers, discounts and freebies from our favourite suppliers. Just remember to tell them you saw it here!

We hope this years edition will inspire you to get out and discover, watch or take part in some of the great events we have here on the East Coast. And our grateful thanks to all our advertisers who make the guide possible.

See you on the water!

The River ThamesEast Coast yachtsmen are often surprised to find they already sail in the Thames Estuary it stretches from Orford Ness to the North Foreland a funnel-shaped area of around 400 square miles. But the River Thames itself is generally considered to start at Sea Reach No 1 buoy off Shoeburyness.The Thames is one of the great maritime highways of the world, freighted with history and overlaid with literature, much of it by Dickens, which contributes to its unique atmosphere, and the sense of challenge and exploration it offers to yacht skippers. In real life it is rather dreary mud flats followed by blocks of flats for much of its 40-mile length to Tower Bridge. But there are numerous compensations views such as Gravesend Pier, the abandoned 1930s passenger terminal at Tilbury, the Thames Barrier and best of all, the view from the river as you come round Blackwall Reach of Wrens great Royal Naval College and the Cutty Sark and then on to Tower Bridge, with the growing sense of having arrived.Navigating the river is relatively straightforward see the Port of Londons website www.boatingonthethames.co.uk and equip yourself with the relevant charts and a pilot book. The river flows fast, so its essential to go up, and come down, with the tide. Yachts tend to moor at Queenborough or Hole Haven to catch their tide, and it can be done on one tide, to St Katharine

Dock by Tower Bridge (there are other marinas but they have become increasingly residential). You can pass through Tower Bridge at no charge, but you have to be able to meet the booked time see: towerbridge.org.uk/book-a-bridge-lift/and theres nothing much to do on the other side before you reach London Bridge. For vessels capable of navigating the fixed bridges, though, theres another 45 miles of tidal Thames to enjoy up to Teddington Lock. And all of the tideless upper Thames beyond.

Tidal Thames events this year include: Thames Trafalgar Race for cruising yachts, 3-4 October, from Tower Bridge to Erith and back to the Naval Collegewww.littleshipclub.co.uk/thames-racingGreat River Race, 12 September over 300 traditional rowing boats up river from Docklands to Ham House, Richmond.www.greatriverrace.co.ukSt Katharine Docks Classic Boat Festival - www.totallythames.org or www.skdocks.co.uk

A yacht chandler in Londons West End? And why not there used to be several, catering for yachtsmen who spent their weekdays at work, yearning for the sea. Arthur Beale goes back further than any the business started around 1500 as a rope maker, rigging ships on the shores of the Fleet River. It moved to its present Shaftesbury Avenue shop around 1890, but failed to move with the times, neglecting to adapt to things like credit cards and computers. By the middle of last year, it was just about on the ropes, and threatened with liquidation. Then Alasdair Flint, high-latitudes yachtsman (Spitzbergen in a 25ft Vertue) and theatrical chandler (less colourful than it sounds backstage ropes and kit) stepped in and started turning things around.Today the shop front looks much as it ever did, with a window full of fascinating nautical necessities though theres now a smart chalk-board outside with the daily weather forecast. Inside the needy sailor can still find shackles of every size, winches, ropes, fittings, flags and anything else his boat may require. But Alasdair and partner Gerry Jeatt have opened up the building with a new first-floor showroom stocking probably the widest selection of nautical books in London including all of the

lovely Lodestar imprint - and a superb range of smart and practical nautical clothing from some top brands - Guy Cotten weatherwear, thermal gear from old-established Norwegian firm Devold, and stylish casual gear by Saint James of France.In addition theres the series of monthly talks on practical and inspirational topics .

And - glory be theres an email newsletter and a website, soon to feature an online catalogue, with carts, checkouts and payment facilities. Useful and valuable, though its no substitute for a visit to the shop itself which retains its Aladdins cave character. And only a few tube stops from Liverpool Street!

Londons Yacht Chandler

Despite being the largest waterway on the East Coast, and having an impressive maritime history, the Thames is not widely thought of as an arena for competitive yacht racing. With few opportunities to compete in the heart of London itself, the recently established Thames Trafalgar Race which celebrates the Battle of Trafalgar, is one event in the East Coast calendar not to be missed.

This unique race on the capitals river is now in its third year and is a fabulous event for anyone wanting to race their yacht into the heart of London.

The race is the brainchild of round-the-world-sailor, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and is organised jointly by the Little Ship Club, of which he has been President since 1995, and Erith Yacht Club, whose new clubhouse he opened in September 2010. The two clubhouses are located at opposite ends of the course; the Little Ship Club by Southwark Bridge where the race briefing and prize-giving takes place; and Erith Yacht Club just west of Crayfordness.

Open to all types and sizes of yacht; both racing and cruising the events starts in Blackwell Reach about a mile below Tower

Bridge. From here competitors sail down to the Queen Elizabeth Bridge to complete the first days racing with overnight berthing provided by Erith YC who also host the first evenings Great Trafalgar Dinner in their futuristic wood and glass building.

The return leg sets off from Erith YC on the following morning and finishes at Greenwich Naval College.

The Thames Trafalgar race is a truly unique event on the sailing calendar. There is a real thrill in beating up the twisting mid-reaches between Erith and Tower Bridge, and seeing the many familiar Thames side landmarks from a very different perspective. The winds along the route can be testing and unpredictable and offer truly exciting racing even for the most experienced sailor.

One of the peculiarities of the race is the drill for passing through the Thames Barrier. The PLA requires sailing vessels to have their engines on and proceed in single file as they go through the Barrier. For practical racing this has meant establishing a neutral zone through which vessels are timed.

It is a tremendous privilege to

The Book CollectionLodestar are well known for the quality of their titles - whether new or a re-print of some long overlooked gem. My favourite right now is For the Love of Sauntress - a forty year affair I have to admit to some bias though, I actually fell in love with the boat when she was on the cover of Classic Boat a few years ago, and since then Ive wanted to fit a squaresail too... Sauntress is essentially a collection of log entries, but its engagingly written and has that clever knack of making you want to go sailing right now, despite the weather.Recommended.

Sea-Country is Tony Smiths name for that sprawling and magical world on Londons doorstep where land and water alternate twice each day; a world of wonder accessible to those of a shoal-draft persuasion, prepared to take their time and respect the ways of nature. Tony is well-known to readers of his Creeksailor blog, and from a base in his beloved River Blackwaterwhich he knows intimatelyhe takes us to London in the west, Kent in the south, and Suffolk in the east to acquaint us with those shorelines and some of the people, occupations and curiosities to be found there.(12 www.lodestarbooks.com or www.arthurbeale.co.uk)

In an ideal world, wed all have the time, skills, money and inclination to build our own perfect boat.but if, like most of us, you only have the inclination you can still build a boat with the help of Gavin Atkins excellent book. These really are ultra simple boats, featuring well proven designs often built from one or two sheets of ply and completed in a few weekends. And if thats still too much, they make really great cardboard scale boats too!(ECEG) See also www.intheboatshed.net - rrp 15.99

Albert Strange (1855-1917) was an accomplished artist, teacher, yacht designer, sailor, and writer, and he left his indelible mark on all these fields of activity, with levels of accomplishment, modesty and humour which have endeared him to so many, from his own lifetime to the present day. In this book, first published in 1990 by The Albert Strange Association and long out of print, John Leather provides a biography of Strange and a commentary on many of his designs.(20 www.lodestarbooks.com or www.arthurbeale.co.uk)

Youll like Suffolk, Southwolds lovely, good fish and chips at Aldeburgh and Dunwich is interesting All comments made to the author before the start of his 162 mile exploration of the Suffolk Coast. But as Peter finds out on his travels there is much more to this beautiful coastline than the usual tourist destinations.Written in an easily accessible style this book is part guide book, part travelogue and is a entertaining read for both locals and visitors. With a combination of historical facts, and well judged observations Peter describes his journey from Lowestoft to Cattawade as a series of walks undertaken over a year long period.Each individual walking section starts with a map enabling the route to be followed easily on foot or from the comfort of an armchair.The Suffolk Coast Walk is a continuation of Peters earlier travels along the Essex coast and together they form an indispensible guide to exploring the East Coast.

Dunkirk the evacuation of 300,000 soldiers from the beaches of France is one of the handful of events from the Second World War that lives on in the British collective memory, perhaps because it was an operation that ordinary people, civilians, were able to play a part in.

The Dunkirk Little Ships, a hastily-assembled and motley fleet, was made up of all sorts of vessels - sailing barges, fishing boats, harbour ferries, lifeboats - and privately-owned motor cruisers, rounded up from the upper Thames, and the ports and rivers of the south and east coasts. These form the commemorative fleet, the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships, which every five years organises the commemorative Return to Dunkirk, setting

out from Ramsgate Harbour to cross the Channel. This years Return, on the 75th anniversary of the evacuation, sets out on Thursday 21 May, returning on Monday 25 May but the build-up starts much earlier, and this year includes an assembly of boats in Londons Royal Docks the previous weekend, with an illuminated parade at dusk on Saturday 16 May, and events around the dockside on the Sunday, with the chance to visit the ships.Surprisingly, at every Return, newly-discovered or restored Little Ships appear this years with over 60 boats registered is expected to be one of the largest fleets so far. One of the newcomers this year will be the newly-restored Aldeburgh lifeboat Lucy Lavers. She had barely been delivered as a new boat to her station in 1940 before she was sent off to Dunkirk. After she was retired from the RNLI in 1968 she went into private ownership, but was rediscovered by the Dunkirk Little Ships Restoration Trust, and in 2010 they handed her over to the newly-formed Rescue Wooden Boats charity in North Norfolk for restoration to her original design. This long job has now been completed, and Lucy Lavers is due for relaunch on 11 April. After that, she will be making her way down to coast to join the Return at Ramsgate, starting at Well-next-the Sea on 1 May, calling in at Lowestoft (8-10 May), Southwold (11 May, short call-in), Aldeburgh (11-13 May), Levington (14-15 May), Harwich (15-16 May) and arriving at Ramsgate 18 May.

Tom Harrison is a windsurfer and this summer he is planning to windsurf 75 nautical miles from Burnham on Crouch to Ostend in Belgium to help raise money for the Dyslexia Association and the RNLI.

Tom is no stranger to physical challenges; he is an avid open water swimmer, has completed several triathlons and has been sailing since the age of 8 so he is well aware of the challenges the sea can present.

Away from the sea Tom trained as an engineer and currently works as a jewellery designer. He has put his engineering skills to good use by making the windsurf board that will carry him across the sea to Belgium.

All well organised adventures need a team of great people around them and Toms windsurf challenge is no different. For the crossing Tom will be accompanied by Restless, his RIB, and a team of 4 including Dave Oakman who is RIB driver, RNLI Coxswain and engineer all rolled into one.

Toms windsurf challenge can be followed at www.tomharrisonnorthseachallenge.com where you can also donate to his chosen charities. We wish Tom all the best for his crossing this summer.

Toms North Sea Challenge

There have been many fundraising projects over the years for the RNLI, but this one is a little different and particularly interesting to me as a photographer. The project is the brainchild of Jack Lowe a photographer based in Newcastle upon Tyne who has been a lifelong enthusiast and supporter of the RNLI, joining Storm Force at the age

of 8 and raising over 6,000 for the charity by completing the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Great North Runs.Travelling in his mobile darkroom (a decommissioned NHS ambulance), Jack uses an ancient process to make photographs on glass and metal as the Victorians used to between the 1850s and 1880s.Jack aims to visit and photograph all 237 RNLI Lifeboat Stations in Britain and Ireland.Using an early Victorian process known as Wet Plate Collodion Jack is crafting unique photographs on glass, capturing the view from each station and the waters protected by the RNLI crews.At the end of his journey Jacks is hoping to create an exhibition of the glass plates

which he is planning to hang geographically in order around a huge room.As the audience stands in the middle of the venue and looks around, the sensation of seeing the entire coastline of the British Isles captured on glass will be extraordinary.As well as the view from each station, Jack is also making two further photographs: A portrait of each Coxswain or Senior Helm and a group portrait of the crew.The Lifeboat Station Project began on 12th January 2015 and visited Southend-on-Sea, Clacton-on-Sea, Burnham-on-Crouch, West Mersea, Walton & Frinton, Aldeburgh, Harwich and Lowestoft RNLI stations during March.

This 17.5 mile estuary flows from Battlesbridge at the head of the navigation to the North Sea at Holliwell Point. Several tributaries join the river but the main one is the River Roach.The Crouch and Roach estuaries are very important wildlife areas and support a large variety of wading birds. Nearly twenty-five thousand water birds visit the estuary each year including nationally important numbers of shelduck, shoveler and black-tailed godwit and internationally important numbers of dark bellied Brent Geese.The tidal mudflats, saltmarsh and coastal grasslands also support a number of rare plants and invertebrates as well as a large colony of seals which can be found at the mouth of the Crouch.Burnham on Crouch is the main town in the area and has much to offer the water user with its many sailing and watersports clubs and its annual Burnham Week regatta. Opposite the river from Burnham lies Wallasea Island which is accessible in the summer months by a foot ferry from the town quay.Wallasea Island is home to the Wild Coast Project; an initiative set up by the RSPB to combat the threats from climate change and coastal flooding. The aim is to recreate the ancient wetland landscape of mudflats and saltmarsh, lagoons and pasture which were once abundant along this coast.The Roach has fewer settlements than the Crouch; one of the prettiest being Paglesham with its red brick and white weatherboarded buildings.

Burnham offers a slice of genteel elegance on the edge of the Dengie Peninsular in Essex. Bounded by the River Crouch to the South, the North sea to the East and the River backwater to the north the Dengie peninsular provides a peaceful escape from the hubbub of urban Essex. Much of the peninsular is classified as an area of special scientific interest and supports a diverse collection of wild species including the seals which are a popular attraction on the Crouch.

Burnham itself is an attractive mix of Georgian and white weatherboard clad buildings. The high street and waterfront have a timeless quality with no less than 117 listed buildings including the iconic clock tower, the royal Corinthian YC and the White Harte Hotel famous for the capture of the pirate Fiddler during the reign of Elizabeth .

Burnham is a town inextricably linked with the sea and sailing and is best known as a yachting centre hosting the internationally famous Burnham Week; a sailing regatta which started as a series of contests in the late 1800s between the London Sailing Club and The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club. Now thought of as the Easts premier sailing regatta this week long event provides racing across a variety of classes for modern and classic boats of all sizes

Burnham boasts no less than 5 yacht clubs 4 of which can be found along the towns river-front. The oldest, the Royal Corinthian YC was founded on the Thames in 1872 and established a branch in Burnham in 1893. The club relocated to its current location on Burnham waterfront in 1931 when the new clubhouse was built. The clubs nearest neighbour and second Royal

club held its first race on Easter Sunday 1895. With the arrival of the London to Southminster railway in 1889 the towns potential as a yachting centre was cemented.

The town is also home to the iconic Dragon Class; a sleek and elegant keel boat designed in 1928 by Norwegian designer Johan Anker and adopted as an Olympic class in 1948. Since the introduction of GRP construction Burnham base boat-builders Petticrows have taken the lead as the major builder in the class and are currently the largest Dragon builder in the world.

On the opposite bank of the Crouch lies Wallasea Island which is connected to the town by the Burnham Ferry. The road trip from Burnham to Wallasea Island by car takes approximately an hour; but the ferry makes the crossing in less than ten minutes. Wallasea Island offers a peaceful habitat for birdwatchers, nature lovers, walkers and cyclists and is now home to the RSPB Wallasea Wetland Project, which will be the largest nature reserve of its type in Europe.

In addition to sailing, Burnham also has connections with the Atlantic rowing industry and in particular current record holder Charlie Pitcher who has helped set up the latest gig rowing club on the East Coast. Burnham Coastal Rowing Club (BCRC) was established in the summer of 2014 and now has a brand new gig Willow which was produced by Harkers Yard at Brightlingsea.

Charlie also runs his Atlantic Rowing business Rannoch Adventure from Burnham. Here he builds the same rowing boats that were used in his 2013 record breaking solo Atlantic row. The boats can often be seen launching and practicing from Burnham Yacht Harbour.

Away from the river the town boasts a 1930s cinema, a railway museum and a host of excellent cafs and eateries.

Burnham Week 29th Aug - 5th Sep

Burnham week is arguably the longest running annual yacht regatta on the mainland of the UK. It is organised jointly by the towns sailing clubs and has been a fixture on the Crouch since the first regatta took place in 1893. Since then the event has grown in strength and popularity is now an eagerly awaited date in the sailing diary.

Quay Day, which was introduced in 2014 is scheduled to take place once again this year on the Bank Holiday Monday. In addition to local stalls and entertainment, there will be an art exhibition at Burnham Museum and plenty of opportunities for spectators to really engage with the regatta, including the chance to see race starts from the Quayside and a special display of gig racing where 18 or so boats will be taking part in 3 classes.

The River BlackwaterThis is the largest estuary complex on the East Coast. It is a flat, wild and often windswept landscape that is not conventionally beautiful but which has an allure that brings visitors back time and time again.This is a land of saltmarsh and mud, an element celebrated by Maldon during its annual spring mud race. There are 3 islands in the Blackwater; Northey Island which is owned by the National Trust, Osea Island, now a holiday retreat connected to the mainland by a causeway and Mersea Island the largest of the three.Mersea is connected to the mainland by a half mile causeway known locally as the Strood and is one of the coasts most charming resorts. With a thriving Oyster fishing industry and a large sailing scene Merseas links with the sea are as stong today as they have ever been. The annual Mersea Week sailing regatta is one of the more popular events in the East Coast sailing calendar and this year runs from 16th - 21st August.On the opposite side of the Blackwater lies Bradwell on Sea, home to one of the oldest churches in Britain, St Peters on the Wall, which is thought to date back to AD653.At the head of the Blackwater lies the attractive town of Maldon, famous for its barges and, in culinary circles, for its salt which has been produced here for over 130 years.Maldons town Quay or Hythe is situated in the oldest part of the town and is home to the largest collection of Thames barges on the East Coast. These graceful workhorses were once built here at Cooks Yard where skilled shipwrights now carry out restorations. Many of the local barges still sail the Blackwater and river trips regularly depart the quayside in the summer months.Heybridge Basin on the opposite banks of the Blackwater is where the Chelmer and Blackwater Canal meets the estuary. This sheltered stretch of water provides moorings for many smaller boats and is a lovely place for a stroll or just to sit in one of the waterside pubs or cafes and watch the world go by.

Northey Island National Trust Reserve www.nationaltrust.org.uk/northey-islandMersea Week is a family orientated week of sailing and fun on the water hosted jointly by the West Mersea Yacht Club and Dabchicks Sailing Club. www.merseaweek.com

The bustling town of Brightlingsea lies at the mouth of the Colne Estuary on the junction with Brightlingsea Creek. Although not a large settlement the town has an importance as a port which goes back to the eleven hundreds when the Confederation of Cinque Ports was established.

Brightlingsea is a happy place full of activity. It is a town which delights in its connections with the water and the estuary that it sits alongside.

There is a strong watersports scene here with two sailing clubs and a rowing club situated along the waterfront and a multitude of water based businesses around the town.

The main harbour lies opposite the town centre and is a hub of activity. To the left of the Colne sailing club is the Aldous HeritageSmack Dock; a site acquired for the preservation and conservation of these graceful working boats.

At the far end of town the promenade, backed by a row of colourful beach huts, leads out to Batemans tower a folly built in 1883. From its position at the mouth of the estuary it is possible to see right across to Stone point in one direction

and Mersea Island in the other.Following the river inland, it twists and turns

through muddy banks before arriving at the pretty village of Wivenhoe.The waterfront is full of character and colour and it is easy to see why this place has become so popular with the artistic community.

Sailing boats and fishing vessels line the waterfront watched over by a mixture of quaint old buildings and modern apartments. There is an air of affluence here among the modern waterfront which contrasts nicely with the muddy estuary and the more rustic shoreline. On the opposite bank lie the villages of Rowhedge and Fingringhoe which are connected in the summer months by a small passenger ferry.

Rowhedge has connections with the River Colne depending on it for fishing and shipbuilding. The town also provided many of the captains and crew for the great yachts of the 19th and 20th Centuries. The quay is much quieter today and the river at Rowhedge is now only suitable for light pleasure craft.

Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve and visitor centre is run by the Essex Wildlife Trust www.essexwt.org.ukThe Brightlingsea town regatta and boat-show is a two day event held annually around the May bank holiday.

Walton BackwatersIf you grew up with the stories of Arthur Ransome you will be familiar with Secret Water the sequel to We Didnt Mean to Go to Sea set in the watery world of the Walton Backwaters and Hamford Water.This is a flat, desolate but rather beautiful habitat of islands, salt marshes and mudflats interspersed with tidal creeks and drying waterways. It is a place for adventure; somewhere to reconnect with the natural world and unwind.The Backwaters are a wildlife haven hugely popular with birdwatchers. It is an internationally important breeding ground for Little Terns and a wintering ground for Dark-bellied Brent Geese, wild fowl and waders. It is also home to a colony of harbour seals and grey seals which can frequently be spotted resting on the mudflats; their red colour a result of lying in mud rich in iron oxide.The nearby Naze Tower, which stands 24 metres high, was built in 1720 as a seamark for ships approaching Harwich. The Tower is open to the public.The coastal towns of Walton and Clacton are a stones throw away and offer all the usual seaside resort facilities.

The River Stour The River Stour is47 miles long and forms the boundary between Essex and Suffolk. The tidal estuary runs fromManningtree to the confluence with the River Orwell at Harwich. The Stour is a river of contrasts. At its mouth it is a busy waterway with the Port of Felixstowe on one side and the port of Harwich on the other and in between a large amount of shipping coming and going.Travelling inland the river quickly becomes more tranquil with some quiet anchorages and sheltered bays, including Ewarton Ness, Copperas Bay and Wrabness.The Royal Hospital School dominates the skyline at Holbrook. Here a small drying creek scatted with dinghies leads inland and makes a picturesque scene. Anchoring is possible here although access is governed by the tides.At the head of the river lie the twin towns of Mistley and Manningtree, both prominent ports in Tudor times established on the back of the wool trade. Manningtree is known for its connections with Matthew Hopkins; the witch finder General who lived here in the 1640s. Today Manningtree is a quiet market town with many Georgian buildings and a pleasant riverside frontage which can be followed all the way to neighbouring Mistley which is most famous for its towers and its mute swans.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) in the East

Stand Up Paddle Boarding, or SUP for short, is currently the worlds fastest growing water sport. The East of England, with access to the beautiful waterways and excellent coastline of Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk, provides the ideal environment to try out this new sport.

In its simplest form the sport involves an oversized, stable surfboard that you stand on and a single bladed paddle to propel yourself through the water. With the correct tuition and guidance it is possible to be confident with the basics after a couple of hours on the water and it is this ease of entry that gives SUP its wide appeal. The views that you get over the river banks, and down through the water as you paddle along our accessible local rivers such as the River Stour, Orwell, Deben and Waveney are sublime and the exercise benefits of an all-round work out, as you propel yourself along, could not be more enjoyable. For more of a challenge it is possible to take the boards onto the sea and also catch waves when there is a swell running along the coastline. The versatility of the sport appeals to a wide range of water sports enthusiasts.

SuffolkSUP Club and School operates from the safe waters of Alton Water in Suffolk and provides a full range of lessons and courses to introduce you to the sport. From beginners wanting to try out SUP to advanced paddlers, wanting to improve their paddle technique via video analysis, SuffolkSUP can provide a lesson tailored to your needs. SuffolkSUP are an ASI Accredited SUP School (www.academyofsurfing.com ) and all of their instructors are capable of instructing both Level 1 Enclosed Flat Water lessons on inland waterways and rivers and also Level 2 Exposed Water lessons on the coast.

There are a number of demo days planned for the summer months where you can turn up and try out the sport and from April until October there are regular lessons for beginners held at Alton Water. Please see the website atwww.suffolksup.com for further details.

The SUP race scene is possibly the fastest growing aspect of the sport and the national clubs have got together to produce the UK SUP Clubs National Race series. Throughout the season from March to October there are regular races held at venues around the country. These include technical races on the sea, involving 6km courses with buoy turns and sprints, and also flat-water races along major rivers. The Head of the Dart race in Devon (8 miles) is usually the first race of the season and is aiming to have over 300 paddlers on the water this year.

The popular Battle of the Thames race in Kingston draws a large number of competitors and has races for beginners (2 miles) to advanced (11 miles). Closer to home, usually in August, there is the Norfolk Broads Classic race held in Martham and SuffolkSUP will be hosting the 5th leg of the UKSUP Clubs (www.uksupclubs.co.uk ) series at Alton Water on Saturday 8th August. The British Stand Up Paddleboard Association (BSUPA www.bsupa.org.uk ) also hold a number of events including the National Clubs Race Day at the Olympic venue, Eton Dorney. The season ends in Suffolk with the popular SUPtember Race day held at Alton Water in September.

The SuffolkSUP club also provides a hub for members to get together on a Wednesday evening from 5.30pm until 8pm for a social paddle, some skills training and fun! Games of SUP Sac are a great way of improving board skills and fitness! Come along to find out how! The club also has boards that it hires out to members so that you can try out the sport before investing in equipment.

Page 34

If you think that owning, transporting and storing a large SUP board would put you off the sport you will be pleased to learn that the most popular boards in use are inflatable. The technology in these boards has improved so much that they are very rigid and have the performance characteristics of a hard board. The big advantage is that they can be let down and rolled up to transport and store. All boards come with highly efficient pumps that allow 20 psi to be easily achieved. Robust and durable they are an excellent way of accessing the sport and make it easy to reach the wide range of launching points on offer.

The fitness side of the sport has been very well documented with many celebrities and fitness experts describing the core workout and overall exercise benefits of the sport. This has led to SUP specific disciplines such as SUP Fitness classes and SUP Yoga taking off around the country. Local classes are available.The new sport of Stand Up Paddle Boarding gets you out on the water easily, enjoying the local scenery, meeting new people and developing your fitness. Whats not to like?

See you on the water

Starting out in kayaking can be a daunting, confusing and frustrating exercise. Of course, most of us now have access to a wealth of information online and to some extent this can be part of the problem, how do we know which information is right for us? Buying from a retail outlet isnt always a good solution either as you may just be sold whats in stock and not necessary what is best for your paddling needs. Heres my advice on getting started.

First find a local kayaking school. Ask friends and family for recommendations and do an online search. Contact the company and ask for advice this should be comprehensive, expert and FREE without obligation. Next, get yourself booked on to a one day course that will teach you the basic skills to manage and control your boat as well as deal with capsizes and recovery fundamental for your safety! With the basic skills under your belt and a good source of advice, buy yourself a boat, paddle and buoyancy aid and get out on the water and get plenty of paddling time in to cement the skills youve been taught.

A good idea is to take advantage of local expert knowledge and experience and join a trip organised and led by a local paddling school. These schools are paid for their expertise so all you have to do is just turn up and paddle no planning, no worrying about tides, weather or launch limitations. Guides should be BCU trained and qualified and your trip will need to be covered by the schools insurance. And of course youll have the perfect opportunity to get ideas on launch locations as well as loads of useful tips and advice for nothing. Basic Kit RequirementsTo get you started here is some of the basic kit you will need to get on the water:Decked kayak with two watertight hatches (one fore & aft), all round deck lines & a retractable skeg ORSit-on-top (SOT) kayak with at least one large hatch & a comfortable seat.A basic and cheap buoyancy aid all UK sold buoyancy aids are CE approved and are of a high standard so get a cheap unit just to get started.215cm (no longer) fibreglass shaft paddle with plastic blades pay as little as possible!One spare paddle any type but must split down to two separate lengths for on deck storage.A neoprene spray deck make sure it fits correctly (decked boats only).A tow line with a large mouth opening for easy packing away.A good pair of wet boots, thick under soles and ankle protection not cheap neoprene booties. The east coast houses a lot of stuff underfoot

Before you set out read our article full of useful tips on getting started written for us by Kurt Finch from local experts Nomad Sea Kayaking.

that will slice through a thin cheap boot Ive seen it many times, you have been warned!Use synthetic materials layered for warmth and venting to cool as needed. AVOID all cotton and denim, these materials are cold, heavy and take a long time to dry. Take professional advice before buying specialist paddling clothing itll save you time and money!Ensure you have plenty of dry bags nothing stays dry in water sports so you can never have too many dry bags. Use lots of smaller dry bags which make packing your boat and finding specific gear a lot easier.Plenty of fluids (hot or cold) and plenty of food and spare clothing in case of a capsize.Be patient and learn the basic skills properly never underestimate the water, if you do, its just a matter of time before it bites... Take your time to get the basics right. Paddling with a local provider will get you started as well as give you a short list of launch venues. And remember; do your research and ask questions, advice is free of charge!

The River OrwellThe Orwell is a river of contrasts. From the busy

industrial port of Felixstowe which is capable of handling the worlds largest container ships to the attractive waterfront at Ipswich this 9 mile estuary is a delightful place to explore both from the water and on shore.

The Orwell marks the southern most boundary of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB and is intentionally recognised for its wildlife and there are nature reserves at Landguard Point and Trimley marshes.

Entering the estuary between land guard point and the Essex town of Harwich the river is wide and industrial but travel just a little inland and the scenery softens and becomes more natural. By the time you reach Levington, Nacton, and Pin Mill the river banks are wooded with small sandy shorelines

The tiny riverside village of Pin Mill is one of the more popular destinations on the river and was once home to childrens author Arthur Ransome and the setting for two of his East Coast stories. There are some lovely walks here through the National Trust woodland and along the Stour Orwell long distance footpath with runs the length of both estuary banks.

One of the most notable features of the river is the towering concrete structure that is the Orwell Bridge. Opened to traffic in 1882, the bridge is 1287m long with a single span of 190m. It is 24m wide and has an air draft of 43m.

The rejuvenated waterfront at Ipswich is a great place to stroll around on a sunny afternoon. The bustling marina makes a colourful vista that is best enjoyed with a drink on the terrace from one of the many waterside cafes and bars. Here you will find Thames barges regularly docked outside the customs house, some of which can be hired for trips and river cruises.

Ipswich waterfront also plays host to the annual maritime festival as well as hosting tall ship flotillas, Old Gaffers Association rallies and regular waterside markets and events.

Landguard Point, Landguard Fort at Felixstowe. See www.discoverlandguard.org.ukTrimley Marshes owned by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org Annual events include Ipswich Maritime, Harwich Sea Festival, Harwich Sea Shanty Festival, Pin Mill Smack and Barge races
