LYMINGTONRIVER SCOW CLASS ASSOCIATION NATIONALCHAMPIONSHIP Saturday7*July TheNational Championship was sailed this year under the Burgeeof theLymington TownSailing Club. Jo Blatchford,Ex Commodoreof the Cluband great supporter of the scows actedas PrincipalRace Officer. I Therewas a turnoutof 15 scowsand three races were sailed, back to back,around the areaof OxeyLake, the Solentto the westof Jackin the basket,and the River. Thefirst racebegan in a Forcetwo witha gentlereaching start from the L.T.S.C.start line,up the river,through Oxey Lake and aroundsome moveable marks, with a finishon a line from Baverstock. Whilewaiting for the secondrace to startthe windfreshened to somethingin the regionof 12 knotsfrom the West South West, which, combined with the ebb tide, well away by then,and the SaturdayAfternoon Motor boat traffic,threw up what lookedfrom the insideof a scow like a very lumpy,wetting sea. This race was notablefor the speedand seamanshipwith which a certainscow with yellow sails was righted after a capsizewith hardly the lossof a place! Thelast race was due to be threerounds of a coursearound the moveable marks out in the Solent,and a finishup the Riverto the ClubLine. By nowthe wind was gusting to around1B knots and thunder and lightningwas playingover the needles.To the reliefof some of the helmsand perhapsto the disappointmentof othersthe coursewas shortenedto two roundsand home up theriver to finish. No one was struckby lightening,and all camehome in the rainhaving thoroughly enjoyed a livelyand challenging three races. Afterthe sums were done the results were as follows:- Sinqle-handed l.

LETTERFROM JOHN CLARIDGE DearLymington River Scow owner, Withthe introduction of the morepowerful / user-friendly downhaul and kickers, we initiallyhad problemswith the masthead and halyard fittings. Having sorted this, the next weakest link is the tackeye in thesail, two of whichpulled out in onlya moderatebreeze. Inconjunction with Peter Sanders, we havedecided that an extrawebbing strap is required attachingthe eye into the body of thesail. Peter has offered to modifyall sailspurchased in the last12 monthsfree of charge,and others at costi.e. €5 providedthey are delivered and collectedat an arrangedtime. We stronglyrecommend that any keen user has this done and even in theolder sails where no problemshave been found, it wouldbe a seamanlikemodification.

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

  • Case Study 3D – Solent and Isle of Wight, Uk
    Archaeology, Art & Coastal Heritage: Tools to Support Coastal Management (Arch-Manche) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ CASE STUDY 3D – SOLENT AND ISLE OF WIGHT, UK Case Study Area: Solent and Isle of Wight, UK Main geomorphological types: Soft chalk and weak sandstone clifflines, coastal landslide systems, shingle and sandy beaches, tidal estuaries, dunes, saltmarsh and mudflats Main coastal change processes: Cliff erosion, coastal landsliding, beach erosion, sea flooding. Primary resources used: Art, Archaeology, historic photographs, maps and charts. Summary: The Solent and Isle of Wight coastlines are very varied and include exposed as well as sheltered frontages. They offer an excellent range of sites suitable in terms of illustrating historical coastal change processes. The area also has an extensive and unique archaeological and palaeoenvironmental record demonstrating these processes over the last 10,000 years. Recommendations: Coastal managers should use these resources when predicting future rates of erosion, they provide thousands of years’ worth of data to assist in the understanding of the rate and scale of change. Further work is required in order to model these changes across the region, combining the rich archaeological record with art, photographs and maps. Coastal managers face an ongoing battle to moderate impacts from the sea in the face of a changing climate and pressures from human use of the coastal zone. The challenges that lie ahead are forecast to increase while resources are being forced to go further. The Solent and Isle of Wight is one of six UK case study areas for the Arch-Manche project. This case study report introduces the study area and why it was chosen as part of the project, the results of the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental study are then presented along with the results of the art, photos, and maps and charts studies.

  • The Lymington River – Boldre
    The Lymington River – Boldre An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – December 2008 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the Lymington River at Boldre in the New Forest, Hampshire. The water is in the ownership of the Barker Mill Estates and has not been used or actively managed as a fishery for a number of years. The report covers a stretch of approximately 800m of double bank fishing from Boldre Bridge downstream. The bottom boundary is approximately 2km upstream of the tidal hatches in Lymington. This report was carried out at the request of Kit Layman. Mr Layman is acting as an advisor to the Barker Mill family and is seeking to ensure that the river is well managed and reaches its full fishery potential. The bottom boundary of the fishery at Boldre Bridge is immediately upstream of waters controlled by the Brockenhurst and Manor Fly Fishing Club (BMFFC). The BMFFC have controlled fishing rights over a long stretch of the Lymington River for many years. The club have expressed an interest in leasing the rights from the Barker Mill Estate and were represented during the site visit by the club’s treasurer Mr David Sargeaunt. The comments and recommendations made in this report are based on the observations of the Trust’s Conservation Officer, Andy Thomas and discussions with Mr Layman, representing the fishery owners and Mr Sargeaunt from the BMFFC. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream 2.

  • The Streams of the New Forest: a Study in Drainage Evolution
    240 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB THE STREAMS OF THE NEW FOREST: A STUDY IN DRAINAGE EVOLUTION By C. E. EVERARD, M.SC. Introduction. HE area to be discussed in this paper is somewhat larger than that ordinarily known as the New Forest. It extends from Tthe Solent northwards to the River Blackwater, and from the Avon eastwards to Southampton Water. The superficial gravel deposits of the New Forest have been the subject of much detailed morphological analysis in recent years {1, 2, 4, 5), and it has been shown that two ' flights' of gravel terraces exist (Figure 2), the larger descending southwards from. the summit area of Black Bush Plain (420ft. O.D.) towards the Solent, and the other flanking the Avon valley. These terraces mark the main pauses in the uplift of the area from its low level in the late Pliocene and since that time the landforms and drainage pattern have been evolving concurrently, under the influence of the intermittently-falling base-level. The gravel-terrace stages make it possible to trace the former courses of the Rivers Avon and ' Solent n across the New Forest and also the shore-lines of the estuaries which partly replaced them in the southern part of the area. The present New Forest streams are the much modified descendants of the tributaries of these major drainage channels. * The tributaries were, in many cases, too small to produce terraces, but two lines of evidence may be followed in attempting to re­ construct their former courses. Firstly, the development of the tributaries is intimately connected with that of the major arteries, and much is already known about the evolution of the latter.

The New Forest CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England The main source of flood risk in the New Forest CFMP is and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed from river flooding and the increasing effect of the tide inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for due to sea-level rise. Flood risk is concentrated within the first time. The CFMP considers all types of inland the urban areas such as Brockenhurst, Lymington flooding, from rivers, groundwater, surface water and and Totton.
