The Royal Yacht Squadron’s Castle clubhouse is best known to most sailors as the centre of the action at Cowes Week. Puffs of smoke in the aftermath of the bangs waft across the water towards the fleets of yachts, their crews’ faces pinched with concentration as they plan their beat up the rocky Island shore.

No first-timer to Cowes Week can fail to be awestruck by the Castle. Competitors mill around before their starts, staring at the flags and course-boards, getting a sight down the startline straight into the windows.

Looking is as near as most sailors ever get to this most aristocratic of clubs. Members will repair to the Squadron after racing, taking tea on the lawn, before entering the Castle for cocktails before a party or the fabulous Squadron Ball, but for the rest, the Castle itself, built by Henry VIII to repel the French, is a visual symbol of the club’s exclusivity.

The most prestigious club in Britain, possibly the world, is wreathed in mystique. The only way to join this club of Kings, Lords, Hons and Sirs is to be invited by a member and be subject to a secret ballot. The fact that the membership list reads like Debretts is an indication of most sailors’ chances of being invited.

It’s said that wealthy tea merchant Sir Thomas Lipton was blackballed for being ‘in trade’, which is why his 1898 bid for the America’s Cup was sponsored by the Royal Ulster YC. He was allowed in eventually, but died just two years later so scarcely had time to enjoy the Castle’s delights.

Some accept a blackballing with grace, others kick up a stink, like the owner of a 150-ton schooner who, the story goes, sent a message to the club that he was anchored within close range and would commence shelling unless he received a personal apology from Percy Shelley, son of the famous poet, who had blackballed him.

Flying the white ensign

The appeal of being a member is obvious. Who wouldn’t want to fly the white ensign from their stern? The Squadron is the only yacht club with a Royal Navy warrant to do so, granted in 1829. And who wouldn’t want to walk boldly in to meet and drink with the great and the good?

I asked the current commodore, the Hon Christopher Sharples why, when a number of royal clubs are struggling to find new members, the Squadron has a healthy waiting list. “It’s a very fine club,” he responded. “People enjoy the standards and the tremendous history. Members treat the Castle as a much-loved country home.”

RYS commodore, the Hon Christopher Sharples

Originally named The Yacht Club, it was founded on 1 June 1815 by a group of 42 gentleman yachting enthusiasts. Five years later, member King George IV conferred the Royal in the club’s title and in 1833 King William IV renamed the club the Royal Yacht Squadron. Members met in the Thatched House Tavern in St James’s, London, and in Cowes twice a year for dinner.

Today there are 535 members and dinner is served in the magnificent Members’ Dining Room, under the painted gaze of illustrious past admirals and commodores. The room is adorned with silver trophies and scenes of the high seas, and waiters bring course after course from the kitchens and wine cellars below. There are bedrooms for overnight stays, a room for members to keep their ‘mess kit’ or black tie, which is required dress on Saturday nights, and even gun lockers for shooting parties.

But sailing is the club’s raision d’être and neither a title nor a fortune are a guarantee of entry. The club professes that “any gentleman or lady actively interested in yachting” is eligible for nomination.

The Squadron was where yacht racing was born. In the early 1800s the aristocracy came to Cowes to socialise and cruise in their boats. The first races were duels between the yachts of the day, then rules for fleet racing were drawn up. The first club regatta, later to become Cowes Week, was in 1826. For more than a century the reigning monarch would be there to present the King’s or Queen’s trophy.

Some of history’s greatest yachtsmen are on the Squadron’s membership roll: Sir Thomas Sopwith, John Illingworth, Sir Francis Chichester, Sir Alec Rose, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. Ties with the Navy are strong and some of British maritime history’s most famous names have been Squadron members, not least Nelson’s vice-admiral Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy who commanded HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Lord Cochrane who was the inspriation for C.S. Forester’s Hornblower novels and Admiral Sir Jeremy Black, captain of the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible during the Falklands War.

The public’s more usual view

Perhaps the club is still best known around the world for hosting the race around the Isle of Wight in 1851 won by the schooner America , which took home what became known as the America’s Cup. The Squadron donated the Cup itself in 1851 and mounted a number of challenges to win it back.

More than 160 years later the America’s Cup has still never been won by a British challenger, but now the commodore believes the Royal Yacht Squadron has “the best chance we have ever had” with its sponsorship of Ben Ainslie Racing as official British challenger for the 2017 Cup.

Garry Beverley – tailor to the sailor

Garry Beverley’s credentials are, like the cut of his suits, impeccable. From CB283

“A man should look as if he has bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care and then forgotten all about them.” Hardy Amies

Garry Beverley is a tailor of impeccable pedigree who worked for Gieves and Hawkes in Savile Row for 29 years, managing the company’s military workshop and working with foreign monarchs and our very own Royal family. He took voluntary redundancy and left Gieves and Hawkes almost eight years ago after they accepted an offer from Hong Kong’s USI Holdings Limited and, let’s just say, things changed.

After he had finished sailing three gruelling legs of the BT Global Challenge on board Save the Children in 2001-2002, Southampton-Boston-Buenos Aires-Wellington, he started his own tailoring business in Hampshire. As well as making bespoke uniforms and caps for members of the military he also supplies the Royal Yacht Squadron with their mess kits and the rest of us with highly tailored suits and jackets.

Doeskin is not, as one might assume, the skin of a doe but a woollen cloth made to look like it by felting. It has a smooth velvety finish and gives a deep lustrous life to dark colours as well as being heavy, warm and hard wearing. It is also a ‘one-way cloth’ in that it is smooth when stroked in one direction and slightly rougher the other. The reefer jacket is a double-breasted short coat or jacket with four (or, in this case, three) buttons up the front. The style is widely used in naval uniform, but today it is to adorn the editor of a nautical magazine.

Mr Beverley starts with measuring. He can look at a customer and transfer a mental image of what he sees onto the material he will be cutting. This, with attention to detail, a skill in accurate measuring and Rodin’s eye for anatomy are the true marks of a good tailor. Whilst quietly measuring, a subtle social shift occurrs between these two men. The intimacy that one has with a tailor is far more personal than with one’s barber. After all, his job demands utter truth from his client. Where else are you asked how much you weigh and whether this is likely to go up or down, or to relax your muscles totally so that any unsightly lumps can be honestly addressed and quietly disguised? He also finds himself working far within the ‘British Standard personal space zone’ and counters this with diligent diplomacy and quiet efficiency.

It is little surprise to discover that Hardy Amies was a spy and that John Le Carré chose a tailor as his spy in his book The Tailor of Panama. For the measuree the combined flattery of attention and the anticipation of the garment makes the whole process a particularly positive one. It is what I imagine women go to spas for.

Then come the details, each one minutely considered as they are as important to the overall look of the jacket as the cut. The size, shape, number and colour of buttons are deliberated over. Mr Beverley notices the reporter’s standard big floppy notebook in his client’s pocket and suggests a lower hidden inside notebook pocket.

Only then does the client realise he’d always wanted a doeskin reefer jacket with an inside notebook pocket while I note that this seems to be the point about bespoke garments: they are designed to fit your life around them rather than, as with all other clothes, the other way round.

Matters of fashion are an undiscussed irrelevance; as with all good suits, each one is a timeless classic and you make your own decisions of the styling regardless of the frippery of mere fashion. As Oscar Wilde once said, “Fashion is for people without style.” Although some may see this as an indulgence, it can be argued that buying tailored clothes can prove to be less expensive in the long run. They are always better made, and wearing something that fits you perfectly means that stresses and tears caused by poorly fitting clothes do not happen.

I have never met anybody who has complained about a tailored suit, as the wearer is immersed in all the decisions that make the suit during the process of its conception. The real advantage, however, is that you will also walk into a room with the confidence that you are the best dressed man there.

Civilian ready-made suits including alterations if required cost £375.00; made-to-measure two-piece suits are £650.00; bespoke two piece suits are from £1350.

Should you require a tailored yacht cap these are of exceptional quality. They are made from the finest doeskin and incorporating a thin inside roan leather band making them light to wear (roan is particularly soft and thin leather made from goat or sheepskin). A detachable cotton or plastic cover is available in all sizes and had you been in the services a relevant badge can be sourced and applied. The small cap is the Admiral Leveson (who designed them) and the large is the Standard Yacht cap.

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.
