Above: 2014 P1 SuperStock champions James Norvill (driver) and Charlie Parsons-Young (navigator). Former World, European and National champion Phil Pope took the overall win with two victories, the championship honours and for the first time in AquaX history gave Yamaha its first 300 class victory. “I’m so happy and really enjoyed the racing. Everyone has made us feel so welcome here in Gosport and my thanks go to the P1 team for putting on a great championship” commented Pope as he left the podium. In the 250 class former 200 class winner Duncan Johnstone couldn’t contain his excitement when he was crowned champion in front of his home crowd. “I’ve waited a long time for this win, and I’m just so pleased to do it here on home waters” said a beaming Johnstone. The Yamaha FZR racer held off strong competition from Sea-Doo RXT of Rob Higgs to clinch the title by only two points in the very last race of the season. Welsh supporters were out in force to cheer on championship leader Damien Evans as he battled to secure his first AquaX title in the 200 class.

Under AquaX rules a rider is not allowed to change his craft between races so there was nothing left to do except an overnight engine strip and rebuild. By morning the engine was repaired and Evans was back on the water to finish fourth overall on the weekend and secure just enough points to take the championship. “I wasn’t sure if we were going to get back out on the water, so I’ve got to thank everyone who helped get the engine rebuilt for me to take the title.” GOSPORT FINAL RESULTS STANDINGS 1.

Fifty-five riders have taken part in the UK this season and twenty-six of those are first time racers, wowed huge crowds at Stokes “ which clearly shows that AquaX has managed to achieve Bay. The P1 event was in what it set out to do by bridging the gap between Gosport for the first time recreational and competitive riding. and drew thousands of “I came to watch the racing in Cardiff and said to my people to watch the action. Dad that looks easy so I entered for Torquay. It wasn’t easy, but I really enjoyed it and will definitely sign up for ” all of next year’s championship” commented amateur racer Lewis Royale. But it’s not only amateur riders that have been drawn to compete in the series. Former world, European and national champions like Phil Pope and Lewis Goodchild have also made the transition from other forms of jet ski racing and in doing so have raised the competitiveness of the championship. “Racing on the sea is what attracted me to the series in the first place. The venues and the organisation have been great and everyone is so welcoming” remarked Pope after taking the 300 Championship at the final round in Gosport. With a new leader in the AquaX World Rankings to be announced soon and various new initiatives in the Local resident David Candler said the race weekend was planning for the series in 2015, the future certainly looks good for the area: bright. It is great to have an event like “ this in Gosport – we enjoyed watching the powerboats and jet skis. ” Michael Heppenstall was at Stokes Bay for the weekend with his two children: The youngsters enjoyed the “ racing and all the on-land activities too. The boats were good to watch and the kids loved it. It was good to see so many people coming to Stokes Bay to show their support. ” P1 WELCOMES RYA CEO SARAH TRESEDER TO SEASON FINALE Royal Yachting Association chief executive, Sarah Treseder enjoyed her visit to the Grand Prix of the Sea finale by jumping into the cockpit of the championship winning boat - GD Environmental - and then meeting the SuperStock teams at the wet pits.

  • Issue 59 January 2016
    Issue 59 January 2016 MP for Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington and Hill Head Happy New Year to you! After a great Christmas and New Year with my family at home in Gosport, we ushered in 2016 by joining the crowds at Stokes Bay for the tra- ditional GAFIRS New Year's Day charity swim. We were watching not swimming, of course, ... maybe next year! Back to work and an unexpected announcement: the waterfront site at Daedalus was selected for the Government's new Direct Commissioning house-building pilot. This scheme opens up land that already has outline planning permission to a wider range of small and medium builders. In this case it will deliver 200 homes that big developers have been unwilling to take on due to the upfront infrastructure investment required and complications of the listed buildings on the site. I share constituents' concerns about pressures on local infrastructure so I arranged to meet with the Minister for Housing to discuss the plans. Gosport Borough Council bosses joined me to seek reassurance that the investment will deliver infrastructure to support wider commercial development and job creation at the Daedalus waterfront site. Last month I met with the Chancellor to reemphasise the need for road improvements in our local area. I will continue to support Hampshire County Council and the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership in this way so that when they make their bid for the remaining Stubbington Bypass funding, they will have the best possible chance of success. Other meetings this month included a discussion with the First Sea Lord about key sites in our constituency such as HMS Sultan, HMS Collingwood and Fort Blockhouse.

  • Anchorages Between Selsey and Portland Tony Firth – Port Solent Yacht Club
    Anchorages between Selsey and Portland Tony Firth – Port Solent Yacht Club This list is far from exhaustive and is only intended to indicate some places that I or friends have found useful or enjoyable (I’ve added some pictures taken by Jacqui Howe and myself to this 2013 version and shall try to add to and improve these as time goes on). Where an anchorage is well known but I haven’t tried it, I have said so. In principle we can anchor anywhere where it isn’t actually prohibited – we aren’t restricted to areas with an anchor symbol on the chart. However, common sense will suggest that anchoring in prohibited areas or channels, among swinging moorings, near charted submarine cables or in locations with strong tidal streams is not a good idea. Under the ColRegs vessels of under 50m LOA are obliged to show a black ball on the forward part of the boat in daylight, and an all-round white light in a similar position at night. I’m assuming a suitable type and weight of anchor and sufficient cable (to anchor with confidence in depths up to 10m requires 40-50 m of cable of which at least 20 m should be chain) and that the cable is laid out properly rather than dropped in a heap. A particular anchorage may be OK in a slight roll for a heavy sailing cruiser but much less acceptable in boats with less ballast and flatter bottoms and especially for fast motor cruisers. Comfort at anchor can often be improved by: · Reducing snubbing by bending a strong nylon warp to the chain with a rolling hitch, paying out a few more metres of chain and warp, making

Office for Nuclear Regulation Report ONR-COP-PAR-15-08 TRIM Ref: 2016/55475 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Determination of the Off-site Emergency Planning and Prior Information Areas for the Portsmouth Operational Berths: Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is responsible for regulating the GB nuclear industry in order to protect the health and safety of employees and the public against risks of harm arising from ionising radiations. ONR is the regulatory authority for Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) on nuclear licensed sites, Ministry of Defence (MOD) Authorised Nuclear sites and Nuclear Warship sites. ONR’s responsibilities include a legal duty, where it is concluded that there is a potential for a reasonably foreseeable radiation emergency (as defined in REPPIR), to determine an off-site emergency planning area (i.e. the area within which, in ONR’s opinion, any member of the public is likely to be affected by such an emergency). In these cases, there is also a legal duty, under the same Regulations, for ONR to determine an area within which prior information is to be distributed to the public.
