Welcome

to the 2022 edition

of the Poole Harbour

& Marina Guide

The 23rd edition of the Poole Harbour & Marina Guide

will provide you with important information to help

you remain safe whilst enjoying your time on

the water.

Whether you are a resident or visiting for business

or leisure, I hope you enjoy Europe’s largest natural

harbour whilst being mindful of others and of the

incredible protected environment.

As Harbour Master, it is my job to consider all

activities in the harbour so that any risk can be

mitigated to as low as reasonably practicable.

Please remember that keeping safe is everyone’s

responsibility so look out for yourself and each other.

You can contact Harbour Control if you have any

concerns.

At the PHC website www.phc.co.uk you will find live

feeds to weather, tide and shipping movements

together with additional information required to

plan your day.

The public right to navigation is dependent on

payment of Harbour Dues which you can pay online

at our website, the harbour office or yacht clubs and

marinas. The decals for the 2022 Harbour Dues have

been printed and this year they are in recognition of

the 10th anniversary of the Twin Sails Bridge.

To improve your experience, we have enhanced

our harbour patrol resource, updated the facilities

at Baiter Slipway and updated signage around the

harbour shoreline.

We are very passionate about managing Poole

Harbour and ensuring that it remains sustainable

for existing and future generations of stakeholders

to enjoy.

Please enjoy your time on the water and do not

hesitate to contact me at harbourmaster@phc.co.uk

if you have any queries regarding the Harbour.

Captain Brian Murphy

Harbour Dues

The public right of navigation within

the Harbour is dependent on the

payment of appropriate Harbour

Dues. Once a boat is launched into the

water it is ready to exercise that right

of navigation and the appropriate

Harbour Dues payment is required.

The Harbour Authority is empowered to

take action to recover Harbour Dues,

which may result in the arrest and sale

of vessels which unfortunately happens

from time to time.

The requirements of the Port Marine Safety

Code must be met and as a responsible Harbour

Authority we are obliged to follow best practice.

The resources required come at a cost.

You may find it useful to know why Harbour Dues

are charged, and how the money is spent.

Harbour Dues charges fund the conservancy of

Poole Harbour and go towards:

Surveying, dredging to keep the channels clear

and marked with navigational aids (all buoys,

marker beacons, lights, stakes, notice boards

etc);

Traffic management to keep the Harbour safe

(Harbour Control, Radar, CCTV and Automatic

Identification System);

Responding to and handling emergencies,

patrolling and enforcing Byelaws.

Vessels not displaying an annual Harbour Dues

decal will be stopped by one of our Harbour

patrol vessels in order to check whether Harbour

Dues have been paid. Patrol Officers regularly

sight vessels on pontoons in all clubs and marinas

in the Harbour. Other Harbour users kindly pass

on information. Annual Harbour Dues are valid

from 1st April to 31st March and can be paid at

the Harbour Office or most clubs and marinas.

Expires 31 March 2023

Alternatively you can use our online service

which is available via our new website:

www.phc.co.uk

Please display your annual Harbour Dues disc

in a prominent position on the port side of

your craft.

Action will be taken by the Harbour Authority

to recover unpaid dues. Unfortunately vessels

have been arrested and sold as previously

mentioned. This is carried out under section

44 of the Harbour, Docks and Piers clauses

Act 1847.

Please be advised that Harbour Dues are

non-refundable and non-transferable.

Poole Harbour has an excellent reputation for

marine safety, navigation aid management and

liaison with stakeholders and your Harbour Dues

payments will help to maintain or improve that

reputation going forward.

Thank you for your contribution and I wish you a

safe and enjoyable time in Poole Harbour.

Navigation Hints

See Admiralty Chart 2611 or Imray Chart Y23

The approach to Poole

• If approaching from the Solent, the entrance is identifiable from the high cliffs

of Anvil Point. When nearer, the rocks of Old Harry (Handfast Point) are clearly

visible. The Swash Channel is clearly marked.

• When leaving for, or approaching from the west, beware of the strong

current off Handfast Point on the ebb tide.

• The Harbour is accessible at all states of the tide and is only dangerous in

very strong S and SE winds, particularly on the ebb tide.

• The entrance channel ‘The Swash’ passes between the Training Bank,

on the western side, and Hook Sands to the east. Be careful of the Chain Ferry,

just at the entrance, as the ebb can run to 5 knots or more.

Take extreme care using the East Looe Cut, due to shifting sands.

Navigational Safety Guidance

• Avoid sailing in the main navigational channels

where possible, especially in poor visibility. Be

aware of the effect of passing close to a large

vessel. The ship’s hydro-dynamic displacement

can pull the water from under you without

notice.

• Give right of way to large vessels which are

limited in their manoeuvring space. Remember

they may have less room than is immediately

apparent.

• If you have to proceed within the channel keep

to the starboard (right hand) side or use the

small boat channel. Vessels with a draft of up

to 1.5 metres should use the southern side of

the middle ship channel.

• Be Alert ~ keep a sharp look out for vessels

surveying, dredging and laying buoys or

moorings. Look around you ~ especially

astern.

• Watch your wash ~ even when you are

proceeding within the speed limit, you may be

creating a wash. Slow down whenever you see

other vessel activity which could be affected,

for example craft embarking passengers or

youngsters in canoes.

• The International Regulations for the

Prevention of Collisions at Sea apply to all

vessels ~ including those racing.

• Take particular care with boats under sail,

especially when they are racing.

• Be visible and make your intentions clear.

You may think you know what you are doing and

where you are going, but put yourself in the

shoes of the Master of the cross-channel ferry

~ does he know your intentions?

• You may see a large ship at all times, but if you

disappear from the view of the Master of a ship

you are too close. Ask yourself ‘can you see

the crafts Bridge?’ If not - the Master probably

can’t see you.

• Do not underestimate the speed of other ships.

If your boat is slow you might not be able to

take effective action to keep clear if you find

yourself on a collision course. If in doubt, take

avoiding action and take it early.

• Do not anchor or drift in any navigational

channel or create an obstruction within

the channels.

• Do not secure to, or obscure any navigational

marks, buoy, beacon or stake.

• Mariners are advised that large inbound

vessels will tend to be on the port hand side of

the channel between the Harbour Entrance and

North Haven Point to avoid Chapmans Peak.


Harbour Control

Poole Harbour Control is a 24/7 all year round

vessel monitoring centre providing essential

information to commercial and leisure marine

traffic. It is the first point of contact for all craft

especially in the event of an incident or accident.

The Harbour Control Officer (HCO) has a

number of resources available to keep

watch on various activities, day and night,

including Radar, CCTV, AIS, and the latest in 3D

vessel monitoring equipment. The HCO is also

assisted by a number of patrol vessels and

organisations around the harbour as well as

the harbour user. All monitoring equipment is

recordable including voice communications for

safety and training purposes and to assist in

incident investigation.

The Harbour Control Officer should be

contacted in the event of any emergency in

the harbour using:

VHF Channel 14 (or 16)

Call sign: “Poole Harbour Control”

Telephone: 01202 440230

Email: harbourcontrol@phc.co.uk

In case of an emergency

call 999 and ask for the

Coastguard

“Poole Bridge” VHF Channel 12

PLEASE NOTE

Radar, CCTV, VHF communications and

telephone conversations to Harbour

Control are recorded for safety and

training purposes and can be used

to prosecute persons in violation of

harbour bylaws.

Use of VHF Radio

If you have a marine radio on your boat,

maintain a listening watch on Channel 16

outside the harbour area but remember

this is a calling and distress frequency. It is

not a conversational channel and except in

an emergency, you must switch to another

channel when contact has been made.

In the Swash Channel and inside the harbour

it is advisable to maintain a listening watch on

Channel 14 which is the harbour operations

channel. You should not communicate on

this channel unless it is necessary for safety

reasons, but you will be able to follow and

anticipate the movements of other shipping.

All harbour patrol launches, Harbour Control,

Sandbanks Chain Ferry and the Dorset Marine

Police keep watch on Channel 14.

!

If there’s an accident

If you are involved in a marine incident or accident within

Poole Harbour and its approach channels, no matter how

minor, you must report it as soon as possible. Incident

report forms are available from the Harbour Office, or

you can submit a report online at phc.co.uk/environment/

management/report-an-incident/, but an initial report should

be made to Poole Harbour Control or to the Harbour Patrol

vessel, call sign ‘VIXEN’ on VHF Channel 14.

Safety at sea

Always wear a life jacket

Remember

You should take a little time before you get out

on the waterway to make sure you are as safe

as possible. The governing bodies for most

sports and activities produce specific guidance

for anyone participating in their particular

disciplines. We recommend that you follow the

RNLI Six Tips for a safe trip and any activity

specific guidance from governing bodies as

a bare minimum. We also recommend that

you register your craft with the Coastguard’s

Voluntary Safety identification Scheme CG66.

All craft, whether a kayak or motor yacht, can

be registered with the scheme.

TIDES AND WEATHER

Safety at night

You, like many other users, may be afloat after

dusk and during the hours of darkness whether

you’re arriving from another harbour or just

enjoying some fishing. As darkness presents its

own dangers when navigating in the water way

you must ensure that you do everything you can

to minimise the risk to yourself and other users.

The harbour is completely different at night

and you need to alter the way you operate your

vessel to suit the conditions, whether at anchor

or underway. You must carry and show the

correct lights.

Remember when afloat at

night or in reduced visibility:

Go slow, be seen

and keep a lookout!

Go slow in darkness, fog or when glare from the

sun restricts your visibility, you must slow down

to a safe speed.

A safe speed is one at which you can stop and

avoid a collision, considering the circumstances

and conditions at the time. Remember – the

faster you go, the faster you approach hazards

and hitting a hazard at speed can have a greater

impact on you, your passengers and your boat.

Be seen

You may be able to see others but can they see

you? At night, every type of craft on the water

needs lights in order to be seen. Whether you

are paddling, rowing, sailing or motoring,

everyone needs to be able to recognise where

you are and what you are doing. Make sure you

have the right lights for your craft and that

they work properly. Use them as soon as the sun

goes down or when visibility is poor. Your lights

should be mounted in a position that gives you

optimum night vision and allows others to see

you from every direction. Make sure you don’t

adversely affect your night vision, or the vision

of other boat skippers. You should also carry a

working waterproof floating torch.

It is recommended that canoeists use a head

torch during periods of poor visibility and

at night.

10

The Poole Harbour and Marina Guide 2022

Keep a lookout

You must take particular care when navigating

at night or in reduced visibility – it can be like

looking into a black hole. Look and listen at all

times, as a number of hazards such as moored

boats are unlit. Navigation lights may not be as

bright as other lights and background lights may

hide something that is closer.

If it is a large ship, the lights might be high and

you may not realise that you are looking at the

sides of a black hull. If you have the slightest

doubt, stop, ensure you are lit and have a good

look around you. Navigation marks can help

you navigate safely in the waterway. Navigation

marks often indicate where hazards are, but

should be coupled with reference to a chart

and local knowledge of the area, particularly in

the dark.

Restricted Visibility Routine -

This comes into force when visibility in the Harbour or parts of the Harbour is less than 500 metres.

Small vessels are strongly advised not to leave their berths but, if they do so, they are to proceed

with great caution, with navigation lights on and making the appropriate sound signals, and are

to keep clear of the main shipping channels and avoid impeding commercial vessels. If fitted they

should monitor VHF Channel 14 for shipping movements and visibility updates.

We all want to enjoy the sea and the seaside, but there are a few things to bear in mind while

on, or in, the ocean. Follow these steps and stay safe while you enjoy your stay at the seaside.

Don’t get cut off by the tide

Keep an eye on the tide and find out

when high and low tides are to ensure

you don’t get trapped in caves or get

cut off from the shoreline.

Swimming in the sea

Swim with a friend and stay within your

depth near the shore. If you do get

caught in a strong current, stay calm,

raise your hand and shout for help.

If you are swimming alone, swim

parallel to the shore until you are able

to swim or wade back to the shore.

Inflatables

Inflatable toys and boats can quickly

be swept out to sea, even in light winds,

stay between the red and yellow flags

on a lifeguarded beach.

The red flag means danger.

Never go in the water when

the red flag is flying

The red and yellow flag

shows the area of the beach

patrolled by lifeguards. This

is the safest area to swim.

The black and white

chequered flag shows the

area of water for boats and

surfers. Don’t swim here it’s

dangerous.

An orange windsock flying

means that there are

dangerous wind conditions and

you shouldn’t use inflatable toys

or boats on the sea.

Remember

In an emergency call 999 for the coastguard

11

Navigating

Main Shipping Channels

The speed limit of 10 knots is applicable

throughout the year. Mariners are advised that

in accordance with the Poole Harbour Byelaw

2(aa) speed restrictions are relaxed within the

Wareham Channel, Middle Ship Channel and

North Channel during the period 1st October to

31st March. The speed limits still apply throughout

the rest of the harbour, especially 6 knots in

Little Channel and Holes Bay, and 10 knots in the

harbour entrance area between Bell Buoy and

1400 metres to seaward of South Haven Point.

Channel Marks

All navigational marks in Poole Harbour conform

to IALA Region ‘A’ System of Buoyage and are

positioned as shown in the latest editions of

Admiralty Chart 2611 and Imray Laurie Y23.

Buoys are numbered consecutively from the

seaward end of the Swash Channel, Poole Bar

Buoy being No1. Buoys marking the red port hand

side of the channel have even numbers and the

buoys on the green starboard side have odd

numbers.

A new edition of Admiralty Chart No. 2611 was

published in August 2020. Minor channels are

marked with stakes, the colours and top marks of

which conform to the IALA System of Buoyage. All

stakes are fitted with luminous tape, two stripes

on the port marker, one stripe to starboard.

Waterskiing

A permit is required for waterskiing inside

the harbour, it can be obtained from

the Harbour Office or the Poole Harbour

Commissioners’ website: www.phc.co.uk

Current costs are:-

Daily £20 Inc. VAT, Weekly £60 Inc. VAT,

Annual £195 Inc. VAT. Payment can now be

made online via our website www.phc.co.uk.

Harbour Dues are payable in addition on

each boat.

The designated water ski area is in the

Wareham Channel and is approximately 2000

metres long and varies in width between 300

metres and 600 metres. The area is marked

by, yellow buoys . Water skiers are exempt

from the speed limit when operating within

this area. Water skiing boats must have a

minimum of two people in the boat, one of

whom acts as a lookout astern. Boats should

circuit the area in an anti-clockwise direction

and avoid getting too close to each other.

0000


Water skiing may take place anywhere outside

the harbour to seaward of the 6 knots yellow

buoy markers off the beaches. The use of

inflatable towed toys pose a significant hazard

to other users within the harbour and indeed to

the person on them should they be thrown into

the water. These inflatables are prohibited from

use anywhere within the harbour. They may be

towed out to sea for use outside the harbour

entrance providing they are not manned during

the transit.

Refer to harbour layout at

front of this guide for

designated water ski area

15

Personal

Watercraft (PWs)

A PW permit, which is the equivalent of Harbour

Dues for other recreational vessels, signifies the

Harbour Master’s written permission to operate

within the harbour.

Remember, the Harbour extends to 1,400 metres

to seaward of South Haven Point.

Application forms are available from the

Harbour Office and on the Poole Harbour

Recreational Website: www.phc.co.uk

Before a permit is issued the

applicant must undertake:-


PW owners must have proper insurance.

If launching at Baiter Public Slipway, third party

liability cover is a mandatory requirement of the

Borough of Poole. WARNING your insurance may

be invalid if you do not have a permit.

• That the craft is data tagged and the number

is clearly visible;

• Not to let any person under 16 years of age

ride the PW unless they are under the direct

supervision of the permit holder, or hold the

RYA Certificate of Proficiency for PWs;

• To abide by the Harbour Master’s directions.

As part of the Poole Harbour Commissioners’

Aquatic Management Plan there are a number

of designated zones within the harbour to

allow the segregation of high speed activities.

This reduces conflict with other harbour users

therefore reducing risk and improving safety.

Personal watercraft have such a zone north of

Brownsea Island where they must operate with

caution and have due regard for other harbour

users. PW operators are not allowed to speed

outside of this area.

You may be stopped on the water by one of the

PHC Patrol Craft, including the PW ‘Viper’. The

Patrol Officer will ask to see evidence of having

purchased a permit. Failure to do so may result in

prosecution with fines of up to £1,000 plus costs.

PWs are prohibited from using the quiet area to

the south of Brownsea Island. In all other areas of

the harbour they are subject to the speed limit of

10 knots, or 6 knots in the Little Channel and Holes

Bay. These speed limits are strictly enforced.

PWs must not linger in the harbour entrance or

the main shipping channels and are not to ‘play

the wake’ of larger vessels. The recommended

area for launching is Baiter Public Slipway where

permits can be obtained. Permits may also be

obtained from the Harbour Office and Poole

Quay Boat Haven.

The National Trust does not permit PWs to be

launched or landed on the beach at Studland.

Daily £20 Inc. VAT, Weekly £55 Inc. VAT,

Annual £170 Inc. VAT. Payment can now be made

Chain Ferry

18

The Chain Ferry has

Right of Way!

The chain ferry has right of way over all craft

except those under compulsory pilotage.

Basically, this means that if you don’t have a

pilot onboard then you must give way to the

chain ferry. Mariners are advised that there

is a Harbour Commissioners Byelaw in place to

enforce this right of way which has significantly

reduced the number of incidents involving the

chain ferry.

When approaching the ferry crossing

point, anticipate its direction of movement and

plan your course of action well in advance.

Mariners should keep well clear passing astern

and should never attempt to pass close ahead.

Remember that the chains will be taut and

shallow in front of the ferry and that they are

also a hazard at the rear.


There is a very real danger of the tide sweeping

you down onto the ferry. Remember, the ferry

can do nothing to get out of your way.

Anticipate the chain ferry’s movements. A black

ball hoisted at the forward end will indicate its

intention to move off the slipway.

The white flashing strobe light will be activated

to indicate the direction of movement when the

engines are engaged. The chain ferry operates

to a schedule and has right of way, so please

think ahead and try to pass well clear astern

of it.

As a guide, ferry crossing times are on the hour

from the Haven Hotel (north) side and every

twenty minutes thereon from 0700 hours to 2300

hours. From the Studland (south) side, crossing

times start at 0710 hours and then every twenty

minutes until 2310 hours. At peak periods, this

schedule may change when a continuous shuttle

is normally run. The ferry runs all year, except

Christmas Day and during maintenance.

The Harbour

Entrance

The entrance is the most hazardous area of

the harbour and special vigilance and care is

required when passing through. It is only 300

metres wide, with very strong tidal streams

particularly at spring ebb and the slow moving

chain ferry operates at its narrowest point.

Sailing vessels so fitted please use your engines

when transitting the entrance. It may be a

source of pride to you to achieve this under sail

alone, but it is not safe when congested, and

imposes greater risk to other users, especially

when the wind is light and the stream strong.

Dinghies sailed by trainees should be towed

through theharbour entrance until they are in

clear water.

Do not lay any mooring, fishing equipment or any

other item which may create a hazard to

navigation.

Local Notices

to Mariners

Local Notices to Mariners are issued by the

Harbour Master on a regular basis to inform

mariners of any operations or works taking

place in the harbour which may affect the safety

of navigation.

These are distributed to all the marine

operations involved in the Harbour area, as

well as adjacent harbour Masters, local marine

offices and notice boards at harbour access

points. Acquaint yourself with the location of

these notices and check regularly for new and

relevant information.

Local Notices may be obtained from the

Harbour Office in New Quay Road, or the Poole

Quay Boat Haven Office on Town Quay or on the

PHC website: www.phc.co.uk

If you wish to be added to the distribution list

by email) please contact Natasha Gama

(natashagama@phc.co.uk)

Exemptions from speed limits

From time to time you will see craft exceeding

the speed limit through the harbour.

The following vessels have permission to exceed

the speed limit in the circumstances described:

Police Vessels

Harbour Patrol Vessels

RNLI Lifeboat & Inshore Lifeboat

Royal Marines

Please note

Radar, CCTV, VHF

communications and

telephone conversations to

Harbour Control are recorded for safety

and training purposes and can be used

to prosecute persons in violation of Harbour

Byelaws.

The Speed Limit of 10 knots is applicable

throughout the year. Mariners are advised that

in accordance with the Poole Harbour Byelaw

2(aa) speed restrictions are relaxed within the

Wareham Channel, Middle Ship Channel and

North Channel during the period 1st October

to 31st March. The speed limits still apply

throughout the rest of the harbour, especially

6 knots in Little Channel and Holes Bay, and 10

knots in the harbour entrance area between

Bell Buoy and 1400 metres to seaward of South

Haven Point.

Speeding and excessive wash offences are taken

very seriously and may result in prosecution

19

Byelaws

Précis of Relevant Byelaws

Byelaws are essential tools for the safe

management of the Harbour. While it is the

Harbour Commissioners’ policy to educate, it is

unfortunate that prosecution action in the

courts is necessary for those who refuse to

behave in a responsible manner.

These are the important byelaws which affect

recreational users:

1 All vessels shall conform to the orders and

directions of the Harbour Master.

2(a) Every vessel shall be navigated with care

and caution and at such speed and in such

manner as not to endanger the lives or

cause injury or be a nuisance to persons

or endanger the safety of or cause

damage to other vessels, moorings, buoys,

beacons or other property.

2(aa) Vessels shall not be navigated at a speed

exceeding 10 knots through the water.

2(b) Vessels shall not be navigated at a speed

exceeding 6 knots in the Little Channel,

between the Quays and in Holes Bay.

2(bb) No person shall engage in board sailing

within the Middle Ship Channel or within

the Haven Channel without the Harbour

Master’s written consent. Persons

intending to cross these channels shall do

so by the shortest possible route and so as

not cause an obstruction to other vessels

navigating in the channel.

2(c) Persons or vessels engaged in fishing with

nets, lines, or trawls shall not obstruct

with their vessels or gear any channel or

fairway used by vessels.

2(d) Vessels may not wilfully be permitted to

drift in a fairway for the purpose of fishing

or any other purpose.

2(e) No person shall engage in water skiing,

ascending by towed kite or parachute, or

use a jet ski or hovercraft except with the

written permission of the Harbour Master.

Chain Ferry

Byelaw

Priority between chain ferry and other vessels.

All vessels navigating in the Harbour which are

not subject to compulsory pilotage shall give

way to the chain ferry.

Poole Harbour (Harbour Traffic Signals)

(Poole Bridges) Byelaws 2011

The Master of a vessel moving in the vicinity of the downstream bridge or the upstream

bridge must comply at all times with an indication given by the signals.

Significance of Signals

Which apply to both the fixed and opening spans

(1) A red signal conveys the prohibition that

vessels must not proceed beyond the signal

(2) A flashing red signal indicates a serious

emergency and conveys the prohibition that

vessels must not proceed beyond the signal

(3) A green signal indicates that vessels may

proceed beyond the signal

(4) A red-with-yellow signal indicates that vessels

may proceed with caution beyond the signal

Kite Surfing

22

Over the years, PHC has opted for an

educational and support approach, which

included regular meetings with the kite surfing

community and being involved in the setting up

of the Poole Kite Surfing Club and the creation

of a Code of Practice. This went some way to

improving the safety of the sport.

However over recent years popularity has

increased and accidents have occurred,

therefore greater regulation was deemed

necessary. Following months of consultation

with the kite surfing community, the British Kite

Sports Association (BKSA), Borough of Poole,

Natural England and the RNLI, Poole Harbour

Commissioners (PHC) introduced a General

Direction in April 2014, which empowers a kite

surfing permit scheme in Poole Harbour.

GENERAL DIRECTION

KITESURFING WITHIN THE POOLE HARBOUR

COMMISSIONERS’ AREA OF JURISDICTION

1. This direction is given pursuant to article 12 of

the Poole Harbour Revision Order 2012 (“the 2012

Order”) in respect of any surfboard or similar

vessel powered by a kite(“a Kite Surfer”).

This direction shall apply in all parts of the

Harbour, as defined by article 4 of the 2012

Order (“the Harbour”).

2. No Kite Surfer shall be operated in the Harbour

by any person who is not in possession of a

“Kite Surfing Permit”. Such a permit denotes

a declaration that the holder has at least 3rd


party public liability insurance, a competency

statement to confirm ability to self-rescue and

deep water pack down, has paid the relevant

dues and agrees to abide by appropriate terms

and conditions issued by the Harbour Master

3. Students of BKSA registered schools while

undergoing training under the direct supervision

of a BKSA accredited instructor will be exempt

from the requirement to purchase a permit,

however they must wear a “rash” vest provided

by their school.

4. Persons issued with a “Kite Surfing Permit”

must display the supplied tag at all times when

kite surfing. It is recommended that owners mark

their equipment with their mobile numbers in

indelible ink. This assists the emergency services

if equipment is lost and usually sees the items

being reunited with the owner.

5. Any person in charge of a Kite Surfer, or is

otherwise responsible for its management or

operation who fails to comply with this Direction

shall be guilty of an offence pursuant to article

15 of the 2012 Order and may be prosecuted.

Permits can be purchased online via the PHC

website. Daily Permits are also available to

purchase from Easy Riders and Poseidon.

Daily £7.50, Annual £35 inc. VAT online via PHC

website: www.phc.co.uk

Kite Surfing is not permitted in the Harbour

Entrance or the Main Channels between the

Bar Buoy and the Turning Basin

Meet the Poole Quay boat haven team

Kerrie Gray AMM

Kerrie started her career in the marine industry in 2005. Starting

her career as a Marina Operative at Poole Quay Boat Haven in

the summer season while teaching sailing in warmer climates in

the winter. Six years later, in 2011, she was promoted to Assistant

Manager before getting her big break in 2017 with the promotion

of Marina Manager. Kerrie’s other role is Event Manager of the

Poole Harbour Boat Show, and most recently appointed Marina

Manager for the Southampton International Boat Show.

Kirsty Caño

Kirsty joined the team in March 2012 and was later promoted

to Assistant Manager in February 2017. Prior to this, she spent

several seasons working on tall ships, sailing 75,000 nautical miles

globally, and crossing the Atlantic six times in various sea states.

Kirsty holds her RYA Advanced Powerboat Certificate amongst

other maritime qualifications, and has vast experience in both

practical and administrative exercises.

Harley Richards

Harley joined the team in May of 2021 as a Marina Operative, and

has slowly progressed into the role of Events and Marketing

Coordinator. With a professional background in Project and

Events management, he is always looking for the best way to

apply these skills to the one thing he loves most; being on the

water! With a plethora of qualifications up to RYA Day Skipper

Theory, he doesn’t do things by halves!


George Moy

After completing his A-Levels, George joined us as a Marina

Operative in June 2021. He has an open approach to any task

and flourishes when challenges arise, applying his skillset

wherever possible. George holds a RYA Powerboat Level II and

enjoys playing football in his spare time.

Mia Hillier

August of 2021 saw the arrival of Mia, one of our Marina

Operatives. As a certified Yachtmaster, she has an

incredible amount of experience on the water. Mia started

sailing at the age of nine on keelboats, and throughout her

childhood and time teaching with UKSA has sailed everything

up to 70ft round the World clipper yachts. Now a proud

owner of her own 7m Westerly Pageant, Mia understands

how precious people’s vessels are and is ever eager to help

our customers with their own!

Hayden Suart

In June 2021, Hayden joined the team as our Bosun. After

spending eight years teaching, his portfolio speaks for itself;

from RYA PWC instructor up to Advanced Powerboat. With

a passion for paddle sports, he enjoys being out in Poole

Harbour or the Solent experiencing the coast up close. Hayden’s

practical, hands on approach makes him the perfect fit for the

Bosun role and makes him a very valuable asset to the team.

in the UK. With luxury properties, pristine

south coast sand and celebrity residents,

Sandbanks is a world famous location often

featured on television as the place to be.

The boutique beach festival consistently

attracts party people from near and far.

SandFest is a firm fixture on the summer

calendar with tickets sought after even

before they are available.

sandfest.co.uk

This unique festival doesn’t just seduce you

with indulgent surroundings, it delivers with

the finest sounds too. Top class acts play at

SandFest and since its inception these have

included: Faithless, Idris Elba, Tinie Tempah,

Chase and Status and Hannah Wants to

name just a few. Plus in 2019, we even had

a cameo spot from ‘MC Hazza’ aka Harry

Redknapp (The King of the Jungle) dropping

some beats with DJ Luck – that went viral

and made international news!

Pip Hare

What 2022 holds for professional

solo sailor, Pip Hare

When a Southern Ocean storm takes

you in its grip and pushes you and your

boat to the limit – it’s the most amazing

feeling in the world. Terrifying. Exhausting.

Exhilarating.

But sitting here now, just over a year since

I started the Vendée Globe, it’s hard to

remember exactly what it was like. The

noise of the wind, the feel of the boat,

the slam of the hull as you’re launched

off waves. And I miss it – that freedom

to make my own decisions, the single

goal of getting to the finish line and the

sheer joy of being at sea where I belong.

I spent 30 years getting to that moment

– and I’m determined to spend the next 3

years getting back. But this time I’ll be in a

competitive boat, with a professional team

behind me and I’ll be battling with the front

of the fleet.

When I lit flares as I sailed back into Les

Sables d’Olonne I knew that I wanted to be

back on the start line in 2024. No questions,

no hesitation.

The 2020/21 Vendée Globe was always

about learning – about the race and

about myself. I was incredibly happy with

my performance last year, but I also know

there’s so much I want to – and can –

improve on.

So now I’m building my campaign for 2024

– with a fast new boat and a professional

team – from my base in Poole. I’m proud

to be part of this vibrant community that

gave me so much support during the

race, and it’s brilliant to be back on the

quayside here. The pace at which my team

and I have worked through 2021 has been

ferocious. Together we have grown both

the sailing team and my business from my

‘one woman band’ to a crew of thirteen full

and part time staff running a foiling IMOCA

campaign.

I’m delighted that my title sponsor from

the last race, Medallia, is also with for this

next step. It’s testament to the strong

relationship we’ve built and my belief

that my sponsors are an integral part

of my team. But to make the most of this

opportunity, I need to find more like-minded

businesses to join me, so the search for

more support is one of my team’s priorities

48


this year. We’re setting up a business

syndicate again – where like-minded

business can join as members to support

my campaign, network with my team and

others, and share success stories. It’s a

really inclusive, collegiate group that I’ve

loved setting up and being a part of.

My job now is to focus on being the best

sailor I can, as well as representing the

team in an official capacity. Though I will

still be involved in business decisions

and have an overview of the running

of the team, I can now prioritise my own

development. I don’t have to work all day

and all night to cover all bases. And, at 48,

this is the first year in my life when I can say

I’m a full-time professional athlete – and

that’s an amazing place to be.

This year I’ll be concentrating on setting

a benchmark from which to build and

improve. I’ll be learning how to get the

best out of my foiling 60 foot IMOCA and

looking at where we can make changes

in 2023. I’ve got a busy race schedule –

from the Bermudes 1000 race in May, the

Vendee Arctique in June, Round Britain and

Ireland in August to the Route du Rhum in

November.

This year won’t be about fighting at the

front – it’ll be about clocking the miles,

building up experience and identifying what

we need to do in the winter refit at the end

of 2022.

I am both excited and terrified of this

incredible opportunity. In my last Vendée

Globe race, I managed a great result as an

underdog. I was always the bottom of the

pile. Now I have the chance to push myself

harder and further, to really develop as a

sailor and hand on heart I am more afraid

of failure now than I was then because I

have no excuses and nowhere to hide.

But one thing has not changed and that is

my determination and my drive. I’m training

hard, looking for sponsors and making

sure I’m ready to take on the best when

that starting gun goes off at Les Sables

d’Olonne in just under 3 years’ time.

Birds of

Poole Harbour

Cormorant

Poole Harbour’s Birdlife

We see our role as the link to raising the

profile of bird conservation, observation

and education in and around the Poole

Harbour area through harbour-wide

partnership working, high standards of people

engagement work and continuous monitoring

of the harbour and its bird populations.

Birds of Poole Harbour

Welcome to Birds of Poole Harbour, a charity

completely dedicated educating people on

the stunning variety of bird life in one of the

country’s most picturesque locations, helping

you make the most of this truly breathtaking

natural harbour.

We are a charity completely dedicated to

boosting the profile of bird CONSERVATION,

OBSERVATION and EDUCATION in and around

Poole Harbour. From local schools, passionate

residents and intrigued tourists, Birds of Poole

Harbour offers a unique learning opportunity

to a large audience.

Poole harbour is a designated RAMSAR

site and has SPA (Special Protection Area)

designation. This means it hosts nationally and

internationally important numbers of a whole

host of bird species, making it one of the most

ecologically important areas in Britain, not

to mention being bordered by some of the

most pristine examples of Lowland Heathland

in the country. Therefore, the study of birds

and the monitoring of their numbers and

behaviour is vital to the ongoing conservation

efforts that take place. Through our work

we love to provide opportunities to enhance

52


peoples understanding of this incredible

area, whilst inviting you to experience

it with us. From investment in multiple

habitat creation and people engagement

projects, our popular School Bird Boat

Project, a busy and varied public events

schedule and of course our flagship Poole

Harbour Osprey reintroduction program,

we’re driven to provide that connection to

birds and nature that we so all need and

deserve.

With so many birds to see and so many

places to look for them, Birds of Poole

Harbour is here to help guide you around

some of the well-known and not so well

known sites of this large harbour.

With regular events, specially

commissioned surveys, live webcams

and day by day updates, we aim to make

Poole Harbour a focus for people from

across the country. Whether you’re an

avid beginner or experienced naturalist,

there’s something for everyone.

We look forward to seeing you out

in the field.

Teal

Poole Harbour features a wealth

of local and national nature

reserves, including some of

Britain’s most high-profile sites.

Wartime in

Poole Harbour

Throughout the war and until 1948, BOAC had 600 staff in Poole

to support their various flight crews and the flying boat services.

Up to 24 of its passenger flying boats were based in

the Harbour.

Its Marine Department had 60 more staff operating 12 high

speed launches used to convey flight crews, passengers, mail

and freight from Poole Quay and the Marine Terminal to the

Flying Boats.

There was another fleet of 14 fast launches used for Water

Control - operated by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and

maintained by the British Power Boat Company with its Poole base

in West Quay Rd. These marked out runways and kept them

clear of all obstructions.

Sometimes small, powerful boats called pinnaces were required

to assist the Flying Boats between the runways and their

moorings.

Dorset Police

Marine Section

Dorset Police Marine Section has a responsibility

for policing the Force’s 89 miles of coastline

out to the territorial limit of 12 miles. This

includes the busy and popular Weymouth and

Christchurch Harbours, the small fishing ports

of West Bay, Lyme Regis and Swanage, and the

world’s second largest natural harbour at Poole,

which itself has over 100 miles of coastline. The

Dorset coastline represents the Maritime and

Coastguards Agency’s (MCA) busiest area in

terms of search and rescue incidents and the

Poole lifeboat is the most tasked lifeboat in the

country.

There are millions of pounds worth of vessels

registered in or moored at the miscellany of

marinas and yacht clubs (26 in Poole alone)

and anchorage areas along the coastline.

There are also a great many tourists and other

watersport enthusiasts who bring their own

craft into the area, for example divers visiting

Dorset’s numerous shipwrecks, windsurfing

championships and a burgeoning of watercraft

users. Besides these, Poole Harbour alone

boasts:

• The headquarters of the Royal National

Lifeboat Institution

• Furzey Island (Europe’s biggest onshore

oil facility)

• Home to the world-renowned Sunseeker

International Shipyard.

Two cross-channel ferry services operate

from Dorset’s coastline across one of the

world’s busiest shipping lanes to France and the

Channel Islands. At the peak of the season there

are 1,500 traffic movements each day in and out

of Poole Harbour alone.

Free boat trips for the

disabled courtesy of The

Friends of Dolphin Charity

Dolphin was conceived as a special project by the

Rotary Club of Parkstone in 1979 to celebrate the 75th

Anniversary of Rotary International. The aim was

simple: to provide a specially equipped, sturdy safe

boat to give free trips to disabled persons of all ages

and disabilities, especially those in wheelchairs, in

Poole Harbour, which is the second largest natural

harbours in the world. Dolphin I was launched in 1980

and since then we have taken over 50,000 passengers.

We have, over the years, had great help and support

from the Royal Marines at their Hamworthy base, the

Poole Harbour Commissioners, the Poole Boat Haven

Marina and, also the Poole Fisherman’s Association

who very kindly allow us a berth in their end of the

Marina. Dolphin III works from the Boat Haven Marina

with the kind help and cooperation of the Marina

staff, where the pontoons allow direct loading of

wheelchairs. It must also be stressed that the whole

service is run entirely by many volunteers who willing

donate their time.

The Friends of Dolphin take the safety of both

passengers and boat most diligently and are

constantly looking at improvements. With this in mind,

regular training exercises are carried out by the

crew so that we are able to deal with any emergency

should it ever arise. We operate trips from 1st May

until 30th September each year, on average taking

over 2000 disabled passengers with their carers. The

majority of trips are around the Harbour and islands,

of which there are two in any one day, but where the

tides allow, there can be a single trip in the day up to

Wareham where our passengers enjoy a fish and chip

lunch on board before returning down river to Poole.

Although the majority of our passengers are mainly

from Dorset and Hampshire, we also have many who

holiday in the area from many parts of the UK.

In May 2018 the Lord Lieutenant of Dorset, Angus

Campbell, presented The Friends of Dolphin with the

prestigious Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service,

known as the MBE for Charities. Our Chairman, Ray

Kipling, commented “We are absolutely thrilled to

have been recognised in this way. It is a reflection of

many years of hard work by hundreds of volunteers

who have brought so much happiness to all our

passengers”. In September 2018, the Lord Lieutenant

also kindly came to present a certificate and flowers

to our 50,000th passenger… another milestone since

we started in 1980.

For more information please visit: www.thefriendsofdolphin.co.uk

DOLPHIN III

The Friends of Dolphin wish to thank the Poole Harbour Commissioners and the staff

of the Boat Haven for their help and assistance over the years.

We have now given free trips to over 50,000 disabled persons of all ages and disabilities

since 1980, and rely entirely on fund raising and donations to run the boat. Should any

disabled group or individual wish to book a trip or if you wish to give a donation to

Dolphin, then please ring:

Poole

Museum


Whilst enjoying your stay in Poole, you simply

cannot miss a trip to Poole Museum which is

housed in four closely connected but very

different buildings.

Begin your journey through the atrium building

which was once occupied by Poole’s first public

library, founded in 1830. You then walk through

into Oakley’s Mill, a Victorian grain warehouse

and flour mill with floors supported by heavy

beams and posts.

A treasure trove of

“

historic artefacts

“

The medieval Ship Inn used to occupy this site

and, from that building, we have a remarkable

set of carved timbers – two of which are

displayed on the first floor. This building houses

the museum displays and the offices of the

Borough of Poole Museum Service and Arts

Development Unit.

The Local History Centre is situated in the third

building that used to be the Town Cellars.

A medieval warehouse, originally built around

1300, it has impressive stone walls and a

magnificent timber roof.

Across Salisbury Street is the fourth building,

Scaplen’s Court, Poole’s most complete medieval

domestic building. This is now principally

dedicated to the Museum education service.

The herb and physic garden is open throughout

the summer and Scaplen’s Court can be visited

during August.

Together these buildings form Poole Museum,

which tells the story of the area that is now the

Borough of Poole. It is a fascinating story that

will take you through thousands of years, across

oceans and into the lives of many Poole people.

71

Poole Park

The 110 acres of open parkland, beautiful

gardens, quiet spaces, lakes and a large saline

lagoon, bordering Poole Harbour and the Old

Town, Poole Park is a much-loved family friendly

open space that retains it’s original Victorian

plan, many original features and is registered

by Historic England for its special historic

interest.

Whilst most people have always recognised

that Poole Park is a special place to visit, by

2014 parts of the infrastructure and many of

the features we value were deteriorating,

becoming harder to maintain.

In August 2014 Borough of Poole (now BCP

Council) and the Friends of Poole Park

submitted a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund

(HLF) Parks for People Programme for Poole

Park Life, a £2.7m improvement project.

Following the award of a £2.7 million National

Lottery Heritage Fund grant in 2017, the

Park has undergone an extensive range

of improvements to conserve it’s unique

features and to secure its enduring viability

and appeal for future generations.

Poole’s premier

attraction, whatever

the season

72


The photo mosaic

The Photo Mosaic in Poole Park reproduces

the original Victorian (1980) plan for the park.

It is made up of thousands of photos of local

people, pets and places, all submitted online

together with a small donation as part of

a fundraising drive for the Poole Park Life

project in 2015.

Poole Park railway

The Poole Park Railway was established in 1949

but was unfortunately suspended in 2018.

The iconic attraction is once again set to

delight children and parents alike and is

scheduled to open again in 2022. Following a

successful tender process, Track Systems,

based in Shropshire, began work on site

during the first week of December 2021.

The Railway works, complete with new engine

shed, are not expected to be finished before

April 2022.

Artificial reefs

3D printed artificial

reefs in Poole Bay

In March 2021, Bournemouth University (BU)

researchers deployed 3D printed concrete

artificial reef units in Poole Bay.

This research is part of an EU Interreg Atlantic

funded research project called 3DPARE with

collaborators in France, Spain and Portugal.

The aim of the project is to deploy and

monitor 3D printed reef units which have been

fabricated from low impact bio-receptive

materials. These reef units have various

applications including mitigation for loss of

natural reef habitat, fisheries enhancement,

coastal protection and enhanced recreational

amenity through recreational fishing and

diving.

The artificial reef units include a variety of

habitats for marine life including different

sized holes, tunnels, ledges and flat surfaces.

Within just 48 hours the reef units were already

providing homes for multiple crab species.

74


BU survey the reef units using various techniques:

SCUBA surveys, Remote underwater video and a

remotely operate vehicle (ROV). The researchers

are investigating the types of marine life found in

particular habitat features, for example crabs are

commonly found in the holes and fish are typically

found in the tunnels. After 18 months the reefs were

completely covered in marine life and 94 species had

been recorded in total. The reef units are covered in

algae, tube worms, sea squirts, hydroids, bryozoans,

barnacles, anemones and sponges. There are used

by mobile fauna including edible crab, spider crab,

velvet-swimming crab, pollack, wrasse, gobies and

mullet. The reef units will continue to be monitored

until March 2023.

In June 2022, the 3DPARE reef units & Poole Harbour

were featured on the BBC One Show, including a SCUBA

dive with Bill Bailey & Dr Alice Hall. For more information

on the project visit www.3dpare.eu

Studland

eco buoys

For many years campaigners have had

concerns that anchors being dropped in the

bay damages the seagrass which is home

to rare seahorses. The proposed solution

to this potentially destructive issue is an

environmentally friendly alternative

to dropping anchor.

Ten eco-moorings have now been installed at

Studland Bay in Dorset by The Seahorse Trust

and the marina group, Boatfolk.

ECO

MOORING

The moorings will be free to use, although

sailors can donate money towards the

installation of further eco-moorings in the bay,

which is a Marine Conservation Zone.

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO)

approved the installation of the moorings and

it is hoped the new moorings will protect the

bay’s seagrass beds and its resident longsnouted

seahorse population.

76


Due to its location and sheltered conditions,

Studland is a popular anchorage for

recreational sailors.

Each eco-mooring has a helical screw anchor

which is driven into the seabed and attached to

the mooring buoy via an elastic rode.

The elastic rode stretches at higher tides and

contracts at lower tides, avoiding the scouring

of the seabed.

The founder and executive director of The

Seahorse Trust, Neil Garrick-Maidment said the

trust and boatfolk were ‘united in a clear belief

that eco-moorings are the way forward for

Studland, allowing boaters to continue enjoying

the site while seagrass and seahorses thrive

alongside.’

A test of the helical screw has been conducted

on site and shown to work. We are thrilled

to announce that the MMO has approved

our proposal, which we believe provides a

practical and collaborative roadmap to finally

giving Studland Bay the effective protection it

deserves,’ he added.

RNLI Lifeboats

In 2021 Poole Lifeboats launched to 133 call

outs and once again the station was one of

the busiest coastal volunteer lifeboat stations

within the RNLI in the UK and Ireland. The call

outs were as varied as ever, including overdue

kayakers, boats suffering engine failure,

boats on fire, activated EPIRBs, yachts pinned to

the Chain Ferry, medical evacuations, fouled

props, children and families swept out to sea

on inflatables, windsurfers and swimmers in

difficulty. They were also called to help in the

search for missing children on the beach,

and missing persons where the outcome was

tragically not what they wished for. They were

even called out to a biplane with a wing walker

ditching into the sea just outside the harbour

entrance. We wished that the number of call

outs was lower and we continue to work hard

at passing on key safety messages and asking

people to please take a moment and assess

the risks.

When the pagers sound, the RNLI volunteers

initially don’t know what they are responding

to, but with ongoing training and the best

equipment and kit, it means that the crew can

reach people when they are most in need, in all

kinds of weather, situations and locations.

The volunteers train hard and work hard at

being prepared. We have volunteer lifeboat

medical advisors who put together real

life scenarios, which test the crew and give

them the opportunity to use and familiarise

themselves with equipment and work alongside

other crew members. The exercises are

important to keep the knowledge fresh and to

also check the equipment on the boats, that may

have not been used in earnest recently.

With the different areas that the station covers

and the amount of people using the harbour,

beaches and Poole Bay, anything could and does

happen. Training scenarios have included an

explosion at the oil well on Furzey Island,

a fishing boat swamped by a ferry coming into

port and carbon monoxide poisoning on a yacht.

Not so long ago the inshore lifeboat was out on

exercise practicing manoeuvers off Old Harry

Rocks. They came across a swimmer in difficulty

and saved his life. A few weeks later a group of

young men had got cut off by the tide and were

below Old Harry Rocks, the water had risen

perilously high and the lifeboat thankfully found

them due to the light from their mobile phone.

The lifeboat rescued them in the nick of time,

they were extremely fortunate.

At the lifeboat station we don’t shame and

blame people who get into trouble as accidents

can happen, even to the most experienced.

When people need us and we launch to help,

they are usually frightened and distressed, they

may feel stupid at having got into trouble. They

are often overwhelmed by the enormity of their

situation and they may be in pain, vulnerable or

extremely poorly. We launch to help, to care and

to bring them home safely.

It’s easier than you think to get into trouble in

the water, so we urge people to try to minimise

the risks. We want people to enjoy the coast,

beaches, cliffs and rivers by being out and

about on the water but by also being aware of

the dangers. Know your limits and be realistic

about what you can do, within the conditions.

Try to go out alone so you can look out for each

other.

78


Always take a means of calling for help, such as

a VHF radio or a phone as you may need it.

Always check the weather and the tides, try

to keep your vessel maintained and get your

lifjackets serviced at the start of each season.

Float to live

If you find yourself in the water unexpectedly,

take a moment as the initial shock of being in

cold water can cause you to gasp and panic.

Effects will pass in less than a minute so don’t

try to swim straight away. Relax and float: float

on your back while you catch your breath and

try to get hold of something that will help you

float. Keep calm: once you’re calm, call for help

and swim for safety if you are able to.

Other things that can help, such as marking

equipment with your contact details, if you are

out on a board or kayak and it gets separated

from you and washes ashore, the coastguards

can save precious time by checking the details.

Always let someone know your plans and what

time you are expected back.

Always swim on a lifeguarded beach and

please leave lilos and toy inflatables at home,

they are designed to be used in a contained

pool, offshore winds can take you and your

inflatable out to sea in seconds.

If you see someone in trouble or if you

need help, call 999 or 112 and ask for

the coastguard.

We have a dedicated team of

volunteers, who don’t go out

on the boat. The water safety

team gets out and about

sharing key safety messages, holding Lifejacket

Clinics at local yacht and sailing clubs. We also

have fundraisers who raise the funds to keep

our charity afloat so we can be there to save

lives at sea. Whilst they are out and about, they

interact and talk to people about, share the

‘starfish song with the youngsters’ and float

to live messages. We have speakers who can

share rescue stories and talk to various groups.

Then through our social media channels we

pass on safety messages.

Stay safe on the water, but if you do find yourself

in trouble we will be there, 24/7

A

in

simple but

dorset

sublime shell fish recipe

Sailors’ clams

When I see a dish that has

Serves 4 to start

Now open in Poole Quay

‘marinara’ or ‘fisherman’ in

• 1 kg clams

the title I’m drawn to it;

• olive oil

I usually think it’s what the guys

in the know eat. And it is the

perfect dish for us in Poole,

surrounded by the sea and the

sailing and amazing clams!

There’s nothing clever about

this simple preparation, the

breadcrumbs just soak up

the juices and somehow the

combination of parsley, garlic,

anchovies and just a little wine

do really taste of the sea.

You can cook this up in your

galley if you’re on board too,

just need two pans.

award winning Rockfish - seafood

restaurants (including the one on

Poole Quay) and seafood home

delivery @therockfishUK

www.therockfish.co.uk

• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped, plus 1 whole clove

• 75 ml dry white wine

• 2 or 3 salted anchovies

• handful of fresh curly parsley

• handful of fine fresh breadcrumbs

• freshly ground black pepper (optional)

bread to serve

Method

Wash the clams and discard any shells that are broken

or that are open and do not close when sharply tapped.

Warm 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a mediumhigh

heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook until it just

starts to brown, then add the clams and give the pan a

good toss to get them coated with the garlic and oil. Add

the wine and anchovies, cover the pan and boil for 3–4

minutes, or until the clams are open (discard any that

remain closed).

Chop the parsley and whole garlic clove finely and mix

with the breadcrumbs. Fry in a separate pan with a little

oil until just crisp, then gradually sprinkle them into the

clams until the sauce thickens slightly. Add some pepper,

if you like, then serve over slices of yesterday’s bread or

with fried bread.

King Charles/

Poole ghost Walk

Poole has always been associated with

tales of the supernatural and ghost

encounters.

The King Charles

The King Charles Inn located in Thames

Street is one of the oldest pubs in Poole

steeped in history and stories of spirits

haunting the building.

Many strange events include customers

feeling nudges when nobody else is

around, hearing phantom footsteps or

heavy breathing noises.

It is rumoured that the spirits of an 18th

century sailor and a former landlady

that fell in love with him haunt the pub

after the landlady presumed the sailor

had been killed in a storm, to which she

hung herself on the beams upstairs,

only for the sailor to be alive and

find her dead. In his grief he stabbed

himself in the heart.


The Crown Hotel

Known for its spooky events the Crown

Hotel harbours the legend of two children

that were locked up by their parents and

abandoned to die in this 17th century

building, to this day it is said that the

children’s haunting cries can still be heard.

If you step inside for a drink or a meal

keep an ear out for those spine chilling

cries and other spooky sightings.

Scaplen’s Court

Scaplen’s Court is adjacent to Poole

Museum and has chilling haunted past.

It is said that the house is haunted by a

maid Agnes Beard, who was murdered in

the house of Scaplen’s Court back in 1598,

and has been lurking in the shadows of

the house ever since, with reports of her

ghost haunting the house.

Experience a tour

Old Town Poole is well known for its

Granny Cousins Ghost Tours throughout

the summer months, which takes you on a

mysterious ghostly tour, explaining all the

spooky goings on around Poole and the

figures that haunt the ancient town!

Tours run throughout the summer

months and around Halloween - you can

keep up to date with tour dates via their

Facebook page.

Waste Disposal

Government legislation requires ports

to have a port waste management plan.

Copies of the Poole Harbour Waste

Management Plan are available from the

Harbour Office. All waste from visiting

vessels must be deposited ashore and

there are adequate facilities at Poole

Quay Boat Haven, all marinas and most

yacht clubs for domestic waste. Pumpout

is available at Poole Quay Boat Haven

and waste oil may be landed there by

arrangement with the staff. Visiting craft

should not use on board toilet and shower

facilities while alongside as these are

provided ashore.

Complaints

If you have any cause to complain about

behaviour in the harbour, please contact

Harbour Control immediately on Channel

14, or telephone 01202 440230, and follow up

with a letter, or an Incident Report (forms

available from the Harbour Master’s

Office or online on PHC website: www.phc.

co.uk) as soon as possible afterwards. All

complaints, accidents and incidents are

investigated by the Harbour Authority and

action taken where appropriate. We rely on

you to help us in our endeavours to keep

the harbour safe.

Fuel Duty -

How will it work?

How will the boater work out what

percentage of fuel they intend to use

for propulsion? Analysis suggests that

a split of 60% for propulsion and 40%

for domestic use (heating, cooking, etc)

probably reflects MOST people’s use and

it is therefore likely that many users will

declare a similar apportionment.
