Worried about things that go bump in the night Tom Cunliffe says night sailing is easier than you think and an amazing experience. Malaysian F1 2014. Tom Cunliffe is a Yachtmaster examiner. He has sailed tens of thousands of miles around the world, thousands of them at night. My neighbour Jack is a very competent yachtsman.

He sails the boat better than most and his understanding of what goes on in the wires and pistons departments outstrips my own. He makes passages with his motivated wife and two young daughters. Theyre all well on side, yet they cant bring themselves to expand the range of their two week summer cruise beyond the reach of daylight.

At close range youre more visable with running lights. A tricolor can be difficult to spot. If your experience is similar, youre in good company. Respect for darkness is primitive. The hairy mammoth herds outside our caves have thinned out a bit these days, but there are still holes in blacked out roads and muggers working the back streets at closing time. Most of us have long grown out of the childs fear of the dark, yet a bit of it still remains deep down. Manual Maquina Fotografica Digital Sony on this page. Accepting this and tackling it head on is a start. The rest is a matter of coming to terms with the idea of driving down an unlit motorway with no headlights and dealing with not turning in at bed time and getting up for breakfast. On a single night, the sleep issue isnt a big one, and when did you last run into something out at sea in daylight Never, probably. The oceans dont suddenly become littered with debris after dark, and navigation built around GPS is largely the same as it was before sunset. Tom Dumoulin hopes that Tuesdays emergency bathroom break, which lost him time in the Giro, isnt a sign of more serious illness. Firstlook review Thirdgeneration BMC Teammachine SLR01. Dave Everett. On a calm night, the sheer magic can take some beating. Stars like you never saw before, the watch coming up at midnight with a mug of tea and the occasional ship passing on the horizon, manned by whom, and bound for where Dawn, a landfall, excited kids popping up from their safe little bunks, and the smell of bacon on the breeze. You cant beat itA night passage can create some of your most magical sailing memories. One night passage. Last mid summer, my wife and I had crossed Lyme Bay bound west, hoping to anchor in the Isles of Scilly in time for lunch the following day. Wed passed Salcombe in the afternoon but we werent going to make the Lizard in time for the evening tide. I didnt fancy the headland on a foul stream in darkness, so we shortened down so as to arrive with the west going early in the morning. When I turned in, we were logging 3 knots as the sun set over Cornwall. With so little canvas, stress levels were low and I lay in my bunk peacefully dreaming of luggers drifting for pilchards and girls looking seaward on the beach at Cadgwith. At one oclock, I came up to find the boat tiptoeing through a sea of phosphorescence. Above me, the moonless night was alive with slowly wheeling stars so dense they seemed to recede into infinity. On the southern horizon, Scorpio took a rare bow while, ahead of me, the Lizard light swept the sky. Then came the unmistakable snort of a close up dolphin. A small pod was playing around the boat like silver ghosts, darting under the keel then cutting the surface for air. They stayed until dawn had rubbed out the stars and the low headland of the Lizard had firmed up on the bow. I called Ros at 0. Mounts Bay on the first of the big ebb that would carry us to Tresco. After dusk. At dusk. Avoid hazards with sensible seamanship. Fishing pots. Unpredictable and unlit, these are the biggest danger at night. Avoiding them is largely a matter of common sense. Sometimes they are laid in deep water, but mostly they lurk in less than 5. Avoid shallows if you can, especially near fishing harbours, and inside passages around headlands, even if you are confident of your position thanks to radar and plotter. Even if you know where you are, theres still the same risk of the engine stopping with a crunch, or finding yourself moored by the rudder in a strong tide. Harbour entrances. RYA courses tend to encourage night entries. My feeling is that to enter a strange harbour at night, unless pressed by imminent heavy weather or some other extraneous force, is generally a thoroughly bad idea. I remember as a young skipper sailing into Bilbao, never having seen the place in daylight and confident that my charts were up to date. I didnt know that someone had placed a large, unlit obstruction just inside the breakwater between the lighthouse and my most likely set of pontoons. I survived, but it was a close run thing. On another occasion I entered the anchorage in Anguilla only to find it full of large, dark shapes. I anchored well out. The morning revealed them as wrecks from a hurricane that had given us a bit of a dusting out at sea. In other words, you never know what youll find, so arrive in daylight if you can. Light pollution. If you do find yourself planning close in night pilotage, be aware of light pollution. A nice fat buoy may be sited bang in front of a funfair. Napoleon said his enemies lost battles because they made pictures torturing the hard facts until they saw what they wanted to see. Many a navigator has come unstuck for committing the same sin. Old hands will recall a cartoon featuring an oilskinned man in a cockpit peering through binoculars and announcing something along the lines of, I say, Henry, your red buoy seems to be advertising Toby Ales. The white beacon is hanging outside the gents. Its impossible to see a liners nav lights at sea. AIS and radar will help. Poorly lit craft. Yachts Inshore, yachts can be hard to spot. I have had narrow squeaks coming into places like Portsmouth with strong background lighting and a tight channel for leisure craft. Yachts are especially awkward if they opt for a tricolour at the masthead instead of proper running lights in close quarters. You are looking ahead for trouble, not up in the skyTricolours are great on passage, though, increasing your likelihood of being spotted and minimising power drain. Fishing boats These are notorious for being poorly lit and for having their navigation lights obscured by blazing deck floods. Watch them closely and expect erratic course changes. Dont get too close Liners and ferries Cruise ships and ferries are invariably lit up like Oxford Street on Christmas Eve.
