CRUISE IN COMPANY TO YORKHILL QUAY

It's not been the best summer, but the season ended on a high, over the weekend of 7-8, September, with a great (and first time) cruise in company upriver to Yorkhill Quay i.e. the Transport Museum and the tall ship  Glenlee  in Glasgow, led by Scott and Jackie Robbie on  Songbird . Eight boats took part, limited by the available space on the pontoon, and the passage upriver on Saturday coincided with the official opening of the new Partick to Govan pedestrian swing bridge. Our fleet went through to a big cheer from the crowd, with lots of hooting in reply!

We also welcome new cruising convenor Andy Taylor, who aims to develop the cruising activities of the club, and encourage relaxed social sailing in good company.

SATURDAY 31st AUGUST – FUN AND FUNDRAISING DAY

This was a special fun and fundraising day in memory of Finlay Herrington, who sadly died last December at the tragically young age of 18. He was a massive part of the club, and in particular the training section. Our young (and not so young) members and family have participated in a number of events to raise  funds for research into the inflammatory virus and auto-immune response that he suffered from as a young child. Other fundraising events included 30 of our young members and friends toking part in the 76 mile Five Ferry Cycle Challenge, across Arran, Kintyre, Cowal, and Bute.

Saturday's event was held in brilliant weather, with many young sailors on the water (see photos), and a BBQ after. Also on that day was a “Four Nations open water swim”, again with our members participating. To date, an amazing £25,000 has been raised, with a target of £30,000. If you would like to read more about Finlay, and help the family raise funds in Finlay's name, please donate through their JustGiving page,  here .

YOUTH SAILING WEEK AT LARGS SC

This year’s Youth Sailing Week, 5th to 9th August, had 24 kids from 8-16 years old come to learn and improve their dinghy sailing. A quarter of the kids that attended the course had little or no sailing experience, the rest were mostly from our Thursday night cadets.

Senior Instructor Yuan Wong and his team of eight LSC/LSTA instructors had the kids afloat almost every day, in everything from flat calm and bright sunshine to heavy rain and 28 knot gusts! Thursday was a fun day, to Cumbrae, with a picnic lunch, litter picking, and a treasure hunt. The beginners gained their RYA YSS Stage 1 certificates, and the more experienced sailors ticked off more boxes in their logbooks.

Largs regatta festival 2024 & 100 guineas.

There's a full report and many photographs from the Largs Regatta Festival Weekend, 24th and 25th August, sponsored by Yacht Havens and Saturn Sails, the midweek Blue Sea 100 Guineas, and the Scottish Two Handed race in the Lags SC September newsletter, attached.

Largs Sailing Club was founded in 1936 (see our history pages ), and is now based in a modern clubhouse in Largs Yacht Haven , just to the south of Largs.

The Club organises a range of activities for all ages and abilities, from the teaching of beginners by the LSTA  to hosting large national and world championship events. We also run regular racing for dinghies, and keelboat events. Our active cruising section (sail and power) organises cruises in company around the Clyde and the west of Scotland, and holds regular talks and skills workshops.

Throughout the year, we hold quiz nights, talks with guest speakers, and themed evenings including dances and parties.

Our waterfront location gives us the best view in the marina, as can be seen from the LSC WebCam . Our Lookout Lounge is a welcoming port of call for members and guests. It has a bar run by club volunteers, which is open for club organised activities. During clubhouse opening hours, members can access a range of snacks and hot drinks, with an honesty box.

Rooms in our clubhouse are available to hire for occasions such as business meetings, sail training, art exhibits etc., and are complete with wireless internet and AV equipment.

AUTUMN CLUBHOUSE, CAFE AND BAR HOURS

The clubhouse is open from 0800 to 1700 every day , and is accessible with the members' door code.

With the shorter evenings, most of our summer activities have now finished for the season, so opening of our bar will be limited to after Sunday afternoon racing only, plus special functions.

Come in and grab a coffee or snack from our self service  honesty café in the Lookout Lounge. We have crisps, snack bars and even pot noodles for sale. It is self-service and you can pay by card or cash. Please wash up any crockery or cutlery you use. Self service means what it says - we don't have "staff"!

Our bar is manned by club volunteers, and they reserve the right to close early if the day's activity has been cancelled, or the bar is quiet.

Please keep an eye on the Club website and Club Facebook pages for details of any socials in the club. Remember also that many members meet on Tuesday mornings  from about 11am for coffee and a natter - join us!

​​Members can hire our main Lookout Lounge for private parties, and hire the upstairs office. Members and outside groups can book the Hems Kalis meeting room, with AV facilities. All have access to our high speed wi-fi.

I Loved Tudor’s Sailing Watch Even More While Aboard an Actual Racing Yacht

Want more insider watch coverage? Get Box + Papers, GQ's newsletter devoted to the watch world, sent to your inbox every Friday. Sign up here.

The weather report in Barcelona wasn’t looking particularly promising last month as I boarded a vessel on the Mediterranean. Leaving the Spanish coast behind me, storm clouds gathered overhead as the Swiss and French teams geared up to face off in the 37th edition of the America’s Cup. Then again, I was reminded, a bit of wind was a welcome sensation—without it, this regatta couldn’t get underway.

If you’ve never been buzzed by an AC75, the class of racing yacht used during the current America’s Cup , it can be difficult to imagine the sensation. I no longer had to imagine as the Alinghi Red Bull team’s AC75 reached its top speed of 50 knots (58 mph) and seemed to be nearly levitating as it lifted out of the water. And if it’s flying in anything resembling your general direction, this can be quite unnerving.

Even if you’re not a sailor, you’re likely familiar with America’s Cup anyway because of how frequently it intersects with the watch world. Tudor , Omega , and Panerai have all gotten in on the action, the logos of their storied brands featured prominently on mainsheets attached to each vessel’s 26.5-meter mast. For each edition of the Cup in which one of these maisons is sponsoring a team, said company will often debut a special watch, sometimes with a dedicated sailing complication such as a regatta timer. Two of the most compelling of these watches were introduced just last year: Tudor’s Pelagos FXD and FXD Chrono Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition . As I discovered earlier this month, they become even more compelling aboard the actual yacht they’re inspired by.

The racing yacht wasn't the only thing that made me feel like a member of team Alinghi that day. I also got a chance to wear the FXD from Tudor's Pelagos line. The Pelagos collection comprises the brand's most professional diving watch, complete with heavy-duty specs, some military influence, and perhaps a bit more character than the brand’s flagship Black Bay collection. Introduced in 2012, the Pelagos line has seen continuous improvement, culminating in the recent “ FXD .” (The “FXD” is for “fixed,” a design with military provenance that secures a strap to the wrist without possibility of spring bar failure.) The black-dialed FXD immediately stole my heart upon its release late in 2023, when I dove with it in Florida.

I wasn’t the only one wearing this purpose-made FXD. The entire Alinghi Red Bull racing team—from team owner to engineer—was kitted out with them. For me, it’s a cool watch; for the sailing team, it’s essential gear. Timing is everything out on the open water. “We use a watch [the Pelagos FXD] that’s in complete sync with what we do here,” says Jaume Triay, a young engineer on the Alinghi Red Bull team who’s spent the past two years living in Barcelona to prepare for the competition. “It’s a low-weight, high-performance watch, and it’s made out of the same materials [as the AC75]; I think there’s a nice synergy.”

Everything about the Alinghi FXD is made with yacht racing in mind. The watch is made from carbon fiber to mirror the carbon-hulled AC75 yachts, with matte blue-purple dials to match the Alinghi Red Bull livery. The numbers on the bezel are arranged in the reverse orientation from those on a dive watch. Why? On a yacht, one needs to quickly calculate countdowns, which is why the numbers go from 60-0 in a counterclockwise direction, rather than the more common 0-60. I had never spent much time with either of the new FXD watches before, but had the opportunity to wear the time-only version during my time in Barcelona for the 37th edition of the America’s Cup. I’m officially a fan.

The dial is a classic Tudor affair: Done up in matte Alinghi Red Bull blue, it features a snowflake handset and matching white indices, all of which are nicely lumed with plenty of Super-LumiNova. (The indices, hands, and all bezel hashmarks glow ice blue in low light.) A red second hand matches up with red “Pelagos” text—no doubt in a reference to vintage Rolex models and in keeping with other Pelagos watches—and the rehaut, which contains the outer minute track, features the words “ALINGHI RED BULL RACING” in the upper quadrant.

“Timing is important in many aspects [of what the team does],” Triay says. “It’s important in planning, such as how much time we need to train before competing, and how much time we have to design the boat. But then also, you can think about maneuvers: Are we going to do a slow, nicely controlled maneuver, or a sharp turn executed as quickly as possible? What is best, and how do you find replicable timing in order to analyze different strategies?”

Indeed, timing was everything as we sailed out into the open ocean outside Barcelona aboard the yacht in order to watch Alinghi compete against the French team. The Swiss needed to win this particular race, lest it be forced to win three in a row in the double-round robin of the Louis Vuitton Challenger Section Series—or face elimination. I was eager to try aligning my bezel to properly time the race countdown as announced aboard the ship’s television, where the race was being broadcast live.

Stepping out onto the deck in the rain (we picked a poor day for sailing) Alinghi’s AC75 was visible in the distance, tacking hard in the driving wind and water. Its complement of ultra-skilled sailors, however, proved their competence and seamanship, crossing the starting line just as the countdown ended and gaining a significant start on the French team. Roughly 20 minutes of hard sailing later, up and down a course established by remote-controlled buoys to align with the direction of the wind, the Swiss team captured its much-needed victory.

After the win, high-fives were swapped, congratulations were offered, audible sighs of relief were exhaled. As we sailed back into harbor, we passed the AC75 furling its sails, yelling our collective “mazel tov” at the team and chase boat crews. I glanced down at the FXD and thought back to my childhood summer camp experience and the activity I most enjoyed: Sailing small Sunfish dinghies on Plunkett Reservoir. I haven’t sailed in over 20 years, but the thought suddenly crossed my mind: Maybe it’s time to sail again—Pelagos fixed firmly on wrist.

History of Ivanovo

Foundation of ivanovo.

According to archaeological finds, the first people already lived on the territory of present Ivanovo more than 10 thousand years ago. In the 2nd half of the 1st and the beginning of the 2nd millenniums AD, the Finno-Ugric tribe of Merya lived in the northern, central, and western parts of Ivanovo Oblast. In the 9th-10th centuries, the mass migration of Slavs to these lands began, who eventually completely assimilated Merya.

Over time, these lands became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality (1125-1389) - the core of the Russian state. Ivanovo arose as a settlement near the road from Rostov to Gorodets. Based on the results of archaeological excavations, it can be concluded that Ivanovo already existed in the 15th century. However, there is no exact date for the foundation of the settlement. The first documented written mention of Ivanov dates back to 1608, during the Time of Troubles in Russia.

According to the census of the early 1630s, the population of Ivanovo was 88 people. By 1667, the population grew by almost 10 times and amounted to 818 people. The natural and geographical reasons determined the commercial specialization of the region. Its severe climate and bad soil made farming risky, but there were convenient river routes and cheap technical raw materials (hemp, linen, wool, leather, etc.).

In the 17th century, when the southern and eastern regions of the country began to supply bread, the disadvantage of husbandry began to be felt even more sharply. The location of Ivanovo near important roads and waterways was especially favorable. At this time textile craft and trade reached a special development here.

More historical facts…

Ivanovo in the 18th-19th centuries

In the first half of the 18th century, Ivanovo had trade relations with Astrakhan, through which transactions were made with the East. At that time, Ivanovo was already a large settlement. It is proved by information about fires. So, in 1723, about 200 peasant houses burned down; in 1775 - 400 houses; in 1781 - 260 houses; in 1783 - 500 houses.

Trade in textiles brought great income to enterprising peasants. In the middle of the 18th century, they began to invest capital acquired in trade operations in industrial production. In 1742, Grigory Butrimov founded the first weaving factory in Ivanovo. In 1791, the first literacy school was opened in Ivanovo, where people learned to read in the Church Slavonic language and count. In 1795, 4,388 people lived here.

At the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, almost the entire population of Ivanovo was engaged in textiles. The French invasion of Russia (the Patriotic War of 1812) played a huge role in the industrial development of the village. The fire destroyed most of the large enterprises in Moscow, as a result of which demand and prices for textiles increased, and local factories, not meeting the competition, began to increase their textile production even faster. Central Asia and Persia were also one of the most important markets.

In 1845, a post office was opened in Ivanovo. Since the middle of the 19th century, the local textile industry began to develop in the conditions of constant supply risks. Raw materials, fuel, dyes were being brought from remote areas of the Russian Empire and from abroad (cotton - from the USA, Egypt, and Turkestan, fuel - from Baku and Donbass, most of the artificial dyes - from Germany).

Large enterprises preferred American cotton, which was of high quality. In the first half of the 1860s, as a result of the crisis caused by the US Civil War, the supply of American cotton to Europe fell sharply. Soon, local industry began to use mainly Turkestan cotton. In the second half of the 19th century, there were several dozen enterprises in Ivanovo, but about 15 of the largest and most developed cotton mills determined its industrial potential.

In 1871, the neighboring villages of Ivanovo and Voznesensky Posad were transformed into the town of Ivanovo-Voznesensk. This year is considered the year of foundation of Ivanovo. From the middle of the 19th century, Ivanovo was also known under such unofficial names as “chintz kingdom” and “Russian Manchester” (Manchester in England was known worldwide for its textile industry). In 1897, the population of the town was about 54,200 people.

Ivanovo in the first decades of the 20th century

In the late 19th - early 20th centuries, the entire Russian Empire was the market for cheap Ivanovo-Voznesensk chintz. By 1914, the population of Ivanovo increased to 146 thousand. Ivanovo-Voznesensk became the leading textile center of the Russian Empire. About 50 textile enterprises and factories operated in the city.

In 1914, with the outbreak of World War I, production in Ivanovo-Voznesensk fell sharply. The decline in production amounted to 12%, in 1916 - 23%. A more significant recession was avoided thanks to military orders.

During the Russian Civil War, Ivanovo-Voznesensk was in the deep rear of Soviet Russia. Factories worked intermittently or even stopped. The outflow of the population to the villages began. The number of inhabitants decreased also due to conscription. The nationalization of enterprises, austerity of resources, and other measures of the authorities, suspended this process. Enterprises began to resume their work in the early 1920s. In 1923, the population of Ivanovo was only about 71,800 people, half as much as a decade ago.

In 1918, the first higher educational institutions of the city were founded: Ivanovo-Voznesensky Polytechnic Institute, then Ivanovo-Voznesensky Pedagogical Institute. In 1930, the Polytechnic Institute was divided into four universities: energy, agricultural, chemical-technological, and textile.

In the 1920s, Ivanovo-Voznesensk played the role of a kind of proving ground where a Soviet social experiment was conducted to build a new socialist society. The city was the center of creativity of avant-garde architects (especially Constructivists), who embodied the ideals of this society.

In 1922-1925, a city water supply system was built. In 1926, public bus transport started operating. In 1934, tram traffic was opened. In the 1930s, a civilian airport and a new military airfield were built, a new building of the railway station was constructed in the constructivist style. In 1925-1926, production volumes reached the pre-war level, after which the construction of new enterprises began.

In 1929, the consolidation of regions and their transformation into oblasts took place in the USSR. Vladimir, Ivanovo-Voznesensk, Kostroma and Yaroslavl governortates were merged into Ivanovo Industrial Oblast, which lasted until 1936. Ivanovo-Voznesensk became its center and in the propaganda of that time was called the “Red Manchester” and the “third proletarian capital of the USSR.” During this period, a significant part of the cultural heritage of the city was lost. In the 1920s and 1930s, most of the churches were demolished.

December 27, 1932, Ivanovo-Voznesensk was renamed Ivanovo. In 1939, the population of the city was 285,182 people.

Ivanovo during the Second World War and beyond

At the end of 1942, during World War II, the battle history of the French Normandie-Niemen fighter squadron, which consisted of pilots sent to the USSR by Free France, began in Ivanovo. Ivanovo played an important role in supplying the Red Army with textiles, as a lot of the country’s textile enterprises ended up in the occupied territory, and in addition, the factories in Leningrad stopped operating. In total, during the war years, about 70 thousand residents of Ivanovo were drafted into the army, 27 thousand of them were killed or gone missing.

In 1951, the first general plan of Ivanovo was approved. In 1955, the process of gasification of the city began. In 1962, a trolleybus network was created. In the 1950s and 1960s, the textile industry of the city developed dynamically. In 1967, the population was about 407,000 people.

In the post-war period, the issue of the ratio of male and female population arose sharply: the latter was much larger even before the war, since then women were mainly employed at textile enterprises, and after the war this imbalance only intensified. This imbalance was also the reason why Ivanovo became known in the USSR as the “city of brides”. Ivanovo was included in the Golden Ring of Russia tourist route. In 1989, the population of Ivanovo was 478,370 people.

During the transition of Russia to a market economy, the industry of the city entered a period of crisis. Problems began during perestroika, but after the collapse of the USSR, the situation became even more difficult. Economic ties with the cotton-supplying Central Asian republics were cut off. Enterprises switched to the production of the cheapest fabrics.

The campaign for the return of historical names that began after the collapse of the USSR practically didn’t affect Ivanovo. But since the beginning of the 1990s, the question has periodically been raised about returning the name Ivanovo-Voznesensk to the city. Surveys show that the majority of Ivanovans oppose this.

In 1996, a new coat of arms of Ivanovo was adopted. The figure of a woman engaged in spinning symbolizes the emergence of textile production in Ivanovo. At the beginning of the 21st century, some industries, for example, the clothing industry, wholesale and retail trade in textiles, began to develop again.

Ivanovo - Features

The city of Ivanovo is located in the center of Ivanovo Oblast on the banks of the Uvod River, about 100 km from Yaroslavl, Vladimir, and Kostroma. Unlike these neighboring cities, Ivanovo developed primarily as an industrial center with a significant number of industrial enterprises. The City Day is celebrated at the end of May.

The climate is temperate continental. Summer is warm, but not hot; winter is moderately frosty with permanent snow cover. The coldest month of winter is January with an average monthly temperature of minus 12 degrees Celsius, the warmest month of summer is July, which average monthly temperature is plus 18.8 degrees Celsius.

Public transport in Ivanovo is represented mainly by mini-buses. In addition, the city has a network of trolleybus routes. There are 7 universities in the city: polytechnic, chemical-technological, energy, Ivanovo State University, medical, agricultural, and fire rescue academies.

In the northern part of the city there is the Ivanovo Northern Railway Station, which is a large railway junction. The first railway station was built in 1894. In 1934, a new, more spacious train station was built next to it, which to this day is the largest architectural monument of modernism in Russia. There are regular daily trains to Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Ivanovo is traditionally considered the center of the textile industry in Russia. At the moment, the number of textile enterprises has slightly decreased compared to the times of the USSR, but there are a lot of sewing enterprises. Today, food industry enterprises are developing, as well as trade and services. Also there are several chemical enterprises in the city.

Ivanovo, the center of light industry, received an unofficial name the “city of brides”, since a large number of women worked at its fabric manufacturing and processing enterprises. Andrei Mironov’s song “Well, why are we not a couple”, sounded in the Soviet movie “Honest, Intelligent, Unmarried” (1981), also played a certain role in the popularization of this expression. In each of its three verses there are such lines:

I tell you about my love again and again, But when I will be tired of it, You should know that I’ll go to Ivanovo, And Ivanovo is a city of brides.

Ivanovo is one of the historical and cultural centers of the country located in the center of the famous tourist route known as the Golden Ring of Russia. The city has a number of different museums, 8 pilgrimage tourism sites, and about 400 historical and architectural monuments.

In the 1920s-1930s, the city experienced its heyday, due to its reputation as a revolutionary and proletarian city. In the number of architectural monuments of those years it is second only to Moscow in the Central Federal District. The architecture of the avant-garde is widely represented here (including constructivism), which includes about 50 buildings. Also, there are several almost completely preserved pre-revolutionary textile factories, which may be of interest to those interested in industrial design.

Richard Mille Fife Regatta 2022

We are delighted that the Fife Regatta will return in 2022 with the support of RICHARD MILLE. This fifth edition is expected to be the largest ever gathering of Fife yachts in the world. From 10th to 17th June, a fleet of famous Fife Yachts will return to their birthplace on the Clyde to participate in this unique regatta, celebrating the designs of William Fife.

With only a handful of Fife yachts remaining in Scotland, the majority of the yachts will make a homecoming journey back to their birth place at Fairlie to celebrate the heritage and craftsmanship of the Fife boatyard at the end of the 19th century.

Full schedule and details will be published shortly on FifeRegatta.com
