BEWARE OF THE COLD Wear suitable clothing, high visibility if possible. BUOYANCY AIDS It is recommended that a Life Jacket or Buoyancy Aid be worn at all times. Wearing a harness is recommended whilst sail boarding. If you wear a leg rope for paddle boarding, ensure it is the correct type (The correct type will save your life the wrong sort could be deadly) SEEK ADVICE Do not leave your board, it is an excellent source of buoyancy and offers better visual opportunity for rescuers. BOARD AND RIG Ensure all elements of your board/rig are in good condition. Look after your equipment. It is strongly advised that you wash all items with fresh water at the end of every session afloat. WEATHER & TIDES Be aware of weather conditions before setting out. Check the local forecast. Pay particular attention to: • Wind direction; is it on or off shore? • Is the tide ebbing or flowing and is that likely to change whilst you are out. ALWAYS remember that wind and tide from opposite directions causes ‘choppy’ conditions. • The tide flows at a different rate between high and low water. • Beginners should always stay close to the shore. • Do not take part in paddle boarding or sail boarding activities after dark. COMMUNICATION Ideally, do not go out alone. However, ALWAYS tell someone ashore where you are going, what your intentions are and what time you expect to return. There are many water proof mobile phones available; it is strongly recommended that you consider carrying one. NAVIGATION Be considerate to other river users. It is recommended that you stay clear of the main fairway at all time but it is ESSENTIAL that you do so when there is commercial traffic underway.

At home on the Crouch since 1898 The NFYC is a traditional yacht club, one of the oldest on the Crouch, and run for its members by its members. Today the club encourages membership for anyone who enjoys “simply messing about in boats” while also appreciating the natural peace and tranquillity of the river.

Naturally, new members are always welcome. We have an active programme of events both on and off the water. Our activities afloat encompass friendly club racing, cruises around the Thames Estuary and East Coast, with the occasional foray further afield and, since 2019 and in partnership with Fambridge Yacht Haven, running the trot boat service around the swinging moorings. Ashore the social programme is, in normal times, largely centred on the clubhouse and includes regular club nights (with free snacks and refreshments), several seasonal dinners, and the occasional musical evening or guest speaker. As well as the clubhouse, facilities for members include a sailing dinghy, a 5-person rowing gig (training provided) and a small external terrace.

51 Gig rowing on the River Crouch

The rowing gig evolved in Nelson’s day of yesteryear when wealthy Royal Navy captains developed a smaller lighter and faster rowing boat for their personal use, between 27 and 32 feet in length (initially built at their own expense) and used to carry them from ship to ship or the shore. These boats being lighter and sleeker than the much larger Admiralty long boats and cutters, could be easily launched and needed fewer crew to row them; they were kept smart, reflecting the status of their captain or admiral. Men of war sailing ships had differing gigs according to officers rank and were coloured accordingly, for example an admirals gig was always green, a captains gig was always blue. The pilot gig was a development from these seaworthy and fast boats, but used from shore to carry pilots out to incoming sailing ships especially in the Western Approaches coming to . The gigs sometimes patrolled far out at sea awaiting a commission consequently Cornish Pilot Gigs are usually 32ft long whereas the Essex boats are usually 27ft. The tradition of gig racing was started in the West Country reflecting the old pilots gigs competing to get to a sailing ship first and secure the pilots fee. There are two different types of rowing gig on the River Crouch, both rowed by a crew of four and steered by a coxswain (pronounced cox’n). The differing clubs usually fly their own distinguishing flag from the stern • The “Spirit Class” gigs developed for rowing off Southend, fibregalls, 27ft long and simulated clinker built in fiberglass • The Harkers Yard gigs also 27ft long are built in cold moulded wood by apprentices of the Pioneer Trust in There are three gig races held on the Crouch and open to all gig clubs. The first is the Fambridge River Festival and gig race organized by Fambridge Yacht Haven, the South Woodham Ferrers Yacht Club Gig Race and finally the Most of the clubs have both racing and Nelson Cup held during the famous Burnham recreational rowers.

57 Be Biosecurity Conscious

Example of a INNS – The Chinese Mitten Crab

Invasive Non-Native Species [INNS] can damage our Harbour. Non-Native Species are plants and animals outside their native range, they have been released into the wild by humans, either deliberately or accidentally for hundreds of years. With increased worldwide travel more species are being moved in greater quantities than ever before. Non-Native Species can become Invasive and therefore a problem when they outgrow, kill or outcompete local species and consequently lead to substantial financial costs for fisheries, agriculture and the broader leisure & commercial marine sectors. Further damage can be sustained to local species and habitats which can impact on the food chain and biodiversity. To help minimise this problem you can assist by cleaning vessels bottom, prop, shaft, water inlets and outlets as often as possible and disposing of removed fouling in a bin rather than placing back in the water.

58 The River Crouch is an incredible place for wildlife and people to enjoy side-by-side. Wildlife can be seen using the dykes and seawalls as well as the river edges and mudflats. There are many different species of waders, ducks and geese that can be seen during the winter, accumulating in their thousands to feed on the mud and roost on islands and saltmarsh. It takes a lot of energy to stay warm and fed in the winter so try not to disturb feeding or roosting birds as this uses up their essential energy coast. They like to nest between May and August supplies.
