BITTERN OWNERS ASSOCIATION BOA The Bitterns were designed by Leslie Landamore in 1959 for the Norfolk Schools Sailing Association and approximately 55 were built, the last in 1964. Originally they were distributed around the county at various schools and Youth Groups but the majority were then based at Filby Broad County Sailing Base when it opened in 1961. Thousands of Norfolk youngsters had their first sailing experience in a Bittern and many have gone on to have illustrious sailing careers. In the early 1970s, having served their purpose, the Bitterns were sold into private ownership. In 1990 a group of owners formed the Bittern Owners Association with the sole purpose of keeping the Bitterns sailing. At the current time 33 Bitterns are registered, many having been restored to their original condition, but others have been lost through the years. The BOA would be very interested to hear from anybody who knows the fate or whereabouts of any unregistered Bitterns.

MERCHANT NAVY ASSOCIATION BOAT CLUB MNABC The Merchant Navy Association’s Boat Club (MNABC) is a group of like minded MNA members who are interested in sailing and boating, contributing to maritime safety, sharing information through multi-media linkages, occasionally meeting, and operating its own social network through its regularly updated website www.seafarersafloat.com To learn more about the charitable work of the Merchant Navy Association please visit www.mna.org.uk Although the majority of members of the MNA and its boat club are serving or retired Merchant Navy seafarers we also have a good many members who share our interest in maritime matters, especially small boats and boating, and who most importantly support the aims and objectives of the Merchant Navy Association itself. In terms of the MNA constitution these members who don’t have a sea-going background in the Merchant Navy, HM Coastguard, the RNLI or as professional fishermen, are described as “Associate Members” (annual subscription is no more than £10 for all and includes a quarterly magazine and a long and wide ranging monthly e-letter). Given the vast range of maritime experience and expertise amongst our members, we also offer free advice on safety and boat handling for novice and inexperienced boaters in the form of our Boating Basics guide which is in PDF format, and as a number of our MNA Boat Club WaterWatch crew are qualified RNLI Water Safety Advisers they can be called upon, by prior arrangement of course, to provide the RNLI’s Advice on Board module for those boat owners wanting to get some expert advice as regards the safety of their boat and its equipment.

SeaVue – WATCHKEEPERS AFLOAT Reporting Scheme The Club’s main activity is its SeaVue Scheme. The aim of the SeaVue Scheme is to act as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the emergency services and report incidents to them in a speedy and effective manner. SeaVue Watchkeepers Afloat members are all experienced seafarers who operate boats in UK coastal waters, on rivers, canals and lakes, and even in foreign waters. The primary function of a SeaVue Watchkeeper Afloat is toSPOT any vessel or person in difficulty, PLOT their position and immediately REPORT the essential facts to HM Coastguard or the appropriate inland waterways authority. RESPECT THE WATER Scheme The MNABC has recently joined forces with the RNLI to promote the RNLI’s RESPECT THE WATER campaign on the UK’s inland waterways, including the Broads. This campaign is aimed at significantly reducing the number of fatalities each year as a result of drowning. MNABC members have been invited to become RNLI Community Safety Volunteers passing on their experience and knowledge to others, at boatyards, clubs and other organisations involved in activities on or around inland waters, or may join a RNLI Community Safety Team attached to a lifeboat station promoting the RNLI safety messages to boatowners. For more information contact MNABC Vice Commodore Chris Woods (see page 147) and see the website www.rnli.org/safety/respect-the-water 86

NORFOLK HERITAGE FLEET TRUST NHFT NHFT own the unique fleet of original 1930s traditional wooden sailing yachts known as Hunter’s Fleet, also lovingly known as ‘Percy Hunter’s Lovely Ladies’. Percy and his two sons, Stanley and Cyril, built their fleet at Hunter’s Yard specifically to be sympathetic to the Norfolk Broads. NHFT, a charitable trust, was established so the Fleet could not only be preserved but also maintained for regular use. The yard and fleet are supported by the fundraising and voluntary activity of theFriends of the Hunter Fleet. The fleet is unique because craft are still of original high quality, with no engines, paraffin lamps for lighting and quants for those quiet moments when there is no wind. Hunter’s Yard is a working boatyard where traditional boatbuilding skills can be regularly seen and will be carried on as the fleet is maintained and the yard undertakes some private work. Although Hunter’s Fleet Ltd is a commercial hire-fleet, it furthers another of NHFT’s aims – to encourage people, especially youngsters, to sail. Sailing instruction is provided at its RYA Training Centre and skippered-sails are available (see pages 51 and 151). www.huntersyard.co.uk

The courses are based on the Royal Yachting Association’s Young Sailors Scheme and On Board and are all staffed by RYA qualified dinghy instructors, meeting strict ratios of staffing to students. Training for prospective dinghy instructors is also provided, including inland powerboat and safety boat training.
