The RYS & Yachting

The Yacht Club, as it was first known, was founded 1 June 1815 at the Thatched House Tavern in London. The club was for gentlemen interested in salt-water yachting and the 42 original members agreed to meet for dinner twice a year, in London and in Cowes, to discuss their mutual interest. Most were regular visitors to Cowes, then a fashionable watering place, or had houses nearby and Cowes Regatta, which was based on the annual licensing of the local pilot vessels and races between them, was a popular spectator sport for the visitors. In 1814 it is recorded that the yachts also took part in the parade of sail, perhaps providing the impetus for the founding of The Yacht Club the next year. The club became The Royal Yacht Club in 1820 after the accession of George IV, who had joined in 1817, and it was created The Royal Yacht Squadron by William IV in 1833.

The new club rapidly proved a focal point for yachtsmen already sailing in the Solent and elsewhere and members cruised in company to regattas along the coast and even across the Channel led by the first Commodore the Earl of Yarborough. Lord Yarborough was also a prodigious host giving magnificent parties aboard his yacht Falcon, at his home at Appuldurcombe or at his ‘cottage’ in the Undercliff – the social side of the Regatta has been an important feature since its earliest days.

The early emphasis was on sailing together (i.e. the yachts manoeuvring together as a squadron) led by a commodore elected for the day. Club members were thus very interested in signalling and the club’s first Book of Signals was arranged by the Admiralty Librarian John Finlaison in 1815. The assistance of Sir Home Popham, an early Honorary Naval Member of the club who was responsible for the naval code of signals, was solicited to improve these and they were revised several times before the club adopted the mercantile code in 1896. As well as the more usual signal communications between vessels the RYS Signals included such phrases to other yachts as ‘Can you lend me your band?’ and ‘Have you any ladies aboard?’ and to shore ‘Send me 300 oysters’.

Individual races between members’ yachts led, in 1826, to the start of racing between several yachts for gold cups. George IV began the annual tradition, continued until World War II, of the reigning monarch presenting a cup; the King’s or Queen’s Cup was the most prestigious race in the Squadron Regatta. The 1830’s saw the first ocean race, the 1840’s the first American member and 1851 a race Round the Island for a 100 sovereign (£100) cup open to foreign yachts and won by America which had crossed the Atlantic to challenge the best British yachts. One Squadron member who raced America in his yacht Titania was Robert Stephenson, the famous locomotive and civil engineer, and Squadron members have several times been among those trying to win back the cup.

Early yachts were similar to (or had been) Royal Navy cutters, smuggling and pilot vessels. Keen competition between racing members led to rapid improvements in yacht design, then to the development of handicapping and rules for racing. The Squadron was the arbiter of the sport for most of the 19th century, before the advent of the various national and international bodies, and both the club itself and individual members have continued to be at the forefront of yachting developments and eminent in the sport. There is also a strong tradition of cruising far afield – one founder member missed the inaugural meeting as he was cruising to St Petersburg, another is believed to have returned from a cruise which included a visit to Napoleon on Elba. Members have published accounts of voyages made for exploration, for natural history research or just for pleasure. Lord Brassey’s Sunbeam logged 37,000 miles and another wide-ranging member, Ben Boyd, was captured and eaten by natives of the Solomon Islands in 1851. More recent members have included famous Round the World yachtsmen Sir Francis Chichester, Sir Alec Rose and Sir Robin Knox-Johnston.

The Squadron has always had a close association with the Royal Navy and its yachts fly the White Ensign. The first Commodore, Lord Yarborough, assured the King in 1833 that ‘it will ever be our most earnest wish and desire to promote, in every way in our power, naval science and architecture’. Early members, such as Lord Belfast with his famous brig Waterwitch, built experimental vessels which did much to advance naval ship design. Members’ yachts went to the Crimea and took part in both World Wars. In the Second World War the Squadron offered its clubhouse to the Admiralty and the castle became HMS Vectis, suffering damage in the air raids on Cowes which was targeted because of its important shipbuilding industry.

The club’s present home, Cowes Castle, was built in 1539 as part of Henry VIII’s chain of coastal defences, protecting the Island from invasion and the naval dockyard at Portsmouth from attack. Its defensive importance lessened after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 and it was later suitably refurbished to become the maritime residence of the Captain of Cowes Castle, Lord Anglesey, who was also a member of the club. The death of the last Captain in 1855 led to a review of the castle’s future and its decommissioning. The Squadron leased it a couple of years later and employed the architect Anthony Salvin to turn it into a fitting home from home for the members; they moved in, from their previous clubhouse on Cowes Parade, in 1858. (see Leaflet No2 for the castle’s history)

When Queen Victoria’s court was at Osborne the eyes of the world were on Cowes. Many of her family were active members of the Squadron, including her grandson the Kaiser with his several yachts named Meteor. The Squadron Regatta became a dazzling yachting and social event under the aegis of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, who became Commodore of the Club in 1882 following the death of Lord Wilton. The Prince’s most famous yacht Britannia was sailed to even greater effect by his son King George V and ‘the King’s Sailing Master’ Sir Philip Hunloke, one of the century’s greatest helmsmen, who was to be Commodore of the club 1943-47.

The unbroken royal association with the Squadron, begun by George IV and continued to this day, has ensured that the club has remained a centre of attention, particularly in Cowes Week. Despite the decommissioning of the royal yacht Britannia which had been a focal point of Cowes Week for many years, the Late HRH Prince Philip, a former Commodore and a keen yachtsman, would remain an active participant whenever possible. Today the view of the castle, with its red and white striped Platform roof, is known throughout the world and the club’s start line has seen the beginning and end of many of the world’s greatest yacht and power boat races. Squadron members have taken part in many of these for an active interest in yachting or yacht racing is still a prime requirement in those invited to become members.

There are two important books that are recommended for those wishing to learn more about the Royal Yacht Squadron and its place in the history of yachting: the first is "Royal Yacht Squadron 1815-1985" by Ian Dear (pub. Stanley Paul 1985) and, more recently "Making Waves" by Alex Martin (pub. Unicorn 2017). Also, "Sacred Cowes" by Anthony Heckstall-Smith (reprinted edition pub. Anthony Blond 1965) contains many interesting and amusing anecdotes of the Cowes social and yachting scene in its glittering heyday – but those at Cowes for the 2001 America’s Cup Jubilee Regatta, hosted by the RYS and the New York Yacht Club, and the RYS's Bicentenary regattas in 2015 show that Members race as hard and glittered as brightly as their predecessors did.

The Royal Malta Yacht Club depends on its volunteer members. With so many sailing and social events scheduled throughout the year there is no shortage of opportunities for volunteers to lend a hand. All those who are interested in becoming an RMYC volunteer please send an email to: [email protected].

The success of the many events organised by the RMYC is attributed to the help we receive from our volunteers. Events such as the Rolex Middle Sea Race and the many races in the Club’s Racing Calendar focus around a group of people who give their time to make sure that events such as these are a great success for the Club.

Volunteers also enjoy the possibility of learning race management skills and the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team that has many varied responsibilities. Individual volunteers work on major national and international regattas. Although this requires a lot of work, these regattas offer the chance to meet sailors from all over the world

Volunteers don’t have to be an active sailor to participate in the many events that are conducted out of the RMYC. There are a variety of interesting roles that can be undertaken that are an integral part of a successful event or function. For many years the Royal Malta Yacht Club has found the support of volunteers to manage weekend races for Club boats through to being involved in the starting procedures of the Rolex Middle Sea Race.

Year-in and year-out, RMYC members respond to the call and lend a helping hand. Committees are organized to manage the operations and events of the Club and here too members and helpers are always welcome.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Rosatom obtained a license for the first land-based SMR in Russia
