October : Jet-Skiers Hauled To Court. |
|
Five people have been fined
hundreds of pounds in a clampdown on speeding jet-skis and powerboats
off Hayling Island's south-west point.
|
|
The offenders – none of
them from Hayling Island – were hauled before Portsmouth magistrates
after ignoring warnings to slow down.
|
|
Langstone Harbour Board,
which brought the prosecutions, said the fines should serve as a
warning that speeding will not be tolerated, and warned more
prosecutions would follow.
|
|
The offenders were fined
between £125 and £350, depending on the severity of the speeding.
Each had to pay between £100 and £150 costs.
|
|
All were travelling at more
than 15 knots which is five knots over the harbour speed limit of 10
knots.
|
|
Harbourmaster Nigel Jardine
said a minority of people were flouting the rules and travelling
recklessly at up to 50mph.
|
|
Jet-skiing is now big
business in Langstone Harbour – with many skiers using the stretch
of water between Eastney and Hayling.
|
|
Many travel down from London
to enjoy the sport, but the harbourmaster said some people were
putting lives in danger.
|
|
He said: "We patrol the
harbour constantly and during the course of the year speak to
thousands of individuals and ask them to calm down. The vast majority
do just that.
|
|
"But there is a
significant minority who exceed the speed limit. We have to get the
message out there that the harbour needs to be a safe environment.
|
|
"If you break the rules
we will prosecute. You are not immune."
|
|
The five prosecutions were
from offences over the summer. The harbour board is planning to take
seven more people to court in December
|
|
The five were:
|
|
Wayne Jowers,
of Meadow Edge, Widley, fined £125, plus £100 costs;
|
|
Daniel Edwards,
of Hill View, Horndean, fined £150, plus £100 costs;
|
|
Michael Bacon,
of Queens Crescent, Horndean, fined £285, plus £150 costs;
|
|
Ben
Sharpe, of Lime Grove, Paulsgrove, fined £200, plus £100 costs;
|
|
Ricky Crowe, from High Wycombe, fined £350, plus £150 costs.
|
|
|
|
Judge's ASBO Warning
|
|
Nuisance jet-skiers could be
handed Antis-Social Behaviour Orders (Asbos) after a test case in
Gosport.
|
|
A top judge has said orders
may be given to riders caught zooming around "no jet-ski"
zones where people are swimming.
|
|
The ruling came after a man
was taken to court by Gosport council for riding recklessly at Stokes
Bay.
|
|
The authority wanted an Asbo
slapped on him, but that was dismissed as 'frivolous' by a judge at
Fareham Magistrates' Court.
|
|
In the High Court, Mr Justice
Bean said the man did not deserve an Asbo as there had been no
swimmers present when he offended.
|
|
But he added that jet-skiers
could be eligible for Asbos in the future if they rode irresponsibly
while there was at least one person in the water.

October : Brother Hunts For Jet Skier. |
|
By Claire Lewis
|
|
The brother of a South
Yorkshire man who went missing on a jet ski trip off the coast of Bali
is helping to search for him by scanning the sea from a helicopter.
|
|
Nicholas Hoyland flew out to
Bali after his 41-year-old brother Jeremy disappeared last Friday.
|
|
He is monitoring the sea and
hundreds of tiny islands dotted around from the air.
|
|
Jeremy, a father-of-two from
Penistone, had been on a sea scooter trip with four friends when he
vanished.
|
|
The jet ski racing ace was
traveling the back of the pack when he had problems with his scooter
and managed to use his mobile phone to raise the alarm.
|
|
His friends did not realise
he had been left behind.
|
|
A helicopter was sent out but
there were no signs of him or his scooter.

October : Hoyland Family Statement. |
|
Wednesday 29th October 2008,
2.45pm
|
|
The Hoyland family today have
been offered support from Sir Richard Branson in helping to search for
the the still missing Jeremy Hoyland.
|
|
This along with the continued
support on Diplomatic levels and the assurance from the Chief of
Police in Bali that the search will continue until Jeremy is found,
has been most reassuring.
|
|
The continued search is
progressive and structured, of the tidal waters in the area.
|
|
We are encouraged at the
confidence of the local search and rescue teams both on the water and
in the air, that they will find Jeremy alive and indeed we both look
forward to returning back to normal daily life with the whole family
very soon.
|
|
We would also like to thank
the local community in Bali as without their help, the search would
not have achieved the level it has.
|
|
The messages of support and
donations from Jeremy's worldwide friends have been overwhelming and
again, we would like to take this opportunity of thanking each
and every one of you.
|
|
We again await daylight to
resume the search.
|
| 28th
October : Jeremy Hoyland Update- Searching is
Continued. |
|
This update comes on October
28, 1:30 PM local time in Bali.
|
|
After numerous meetings and
interviews with police and other officials, the authorities have
agreed that there is good cause to continue the searching for missing
official, Jeremy Hoyland.
|
|
Interviews with the technical
officials of the Jet Ski portion of the Asia Beach Games led the
authorities to conclude that the circumstances under which Jeremy went
missing along with Jeremy’s ability to survive against the odds were
substantial factors in extending the search efforts.
|
|
The PWC community would like
to specifically thank
|
|
the Bali Police especially
the Chief of Police, the IJSBA, Fully Aswar, the Chief of the Navy,
the Search and Rescue division of the Navy, the battleship commanders
who allocated their time, the helicopter force and the private
helicopter entities that joined, the capital of Jakarta for sending
resources, the Army, Shawn Alladio and the extended K 38 Staff, and
all of the private persons such as the local fishing community.
|
|
We appreciate that you are
all doing everything possible to find our friend. We also would like
to extend our appreciation to all of the friends and supporters that
have offered their support, well wishes and resources towards this
search effort.
|
|
As of today, oceanic searches
are continuing and extensive land searches are now launching.
|
|
The IJSBA remains hopeful and
we will update all of you with any information when it becomes
available.
|
|
We appreciate that all of you
have kept the focus on supporting Jeremy and the search efforts.

October : RYA Official And Former JSRA Race Director
Jeremy Hoyland Remains Missing. |
|
The Powerboat Racing
community are still in shock at hearing the news that former Race
Director of the Jet Sport Racing Association went missing at sea on
Friday 24th October in Bali.
|
|
Jeremy had recently attended
the IJSBA World Finals in Lake Havasu, Arizona then was invited to
attend the 2008 Asia Beach Games in Bali as Race Director for the Jet
Ski Sport events.
|
|
On October 24, the tides did
not match the chart that was provided to race organisers so racing was
put off until the late afternoon so that competitors could race in the
safest water conditions.
|
|
The staff were given the
morning and early afternoon off for personal time.
|
|
Mr Hoyland and four of his
friends travelled to Nusa Lembongan on borrowed sea scooters.
|
|
Bali Police chief Insp Gen
Asikin Husein told the Jakarta Post:
|
|
"On their way back, a
member of the group said he was tired so Jeremy, who is an
international jet ski master, offered to escort the group from behind.
He didn't arrive at the base camp, however, when the others did."
|
|
It is thought that Jeremy
encountered mechanical problems on the borrowed PWC leaving him at the
mercy of the currents.
|
|
Mr Husein said Mr Hoyland had
sent a text message from his mobile phone around five hours after the
others had returned to say he was about two miles from the beach.
|
|
The search was being
concentrated to the south on the assumption Mr Hoyland had been
dragged by a wave, he added.
|
|
Helicopter search efforts
began immediately upon the report of Jeremy not returning to the event
site.
|
|
Jeremy’s wife, Jacqui, and
brother Nicholas have now joined the search in Bali. Meanwhile a
family friend has offered a $10,000 (£6,380) reward for his return.
|
|
Rescue co-ordinator Heru
Taryoto told the AFP news agency: "Extensive air and sea search
operations have so far failed to locate Mr Hoyland and his red Yamaha
Jet ski."
|
|
He added the authorities had
urged people in Bali, Lombok, Nusa Penida and small neighbouring
islands to help with the search.
|
|
Close personal friend, Jonathan
Oddy said Mr Hoyland had more than 10 years' experience using sea
scooters. He added: "They have been searching extensively for
him. There is still no news, and no sightings yet - but we are
optimistic.
|
|
"Clearly at some point
the local authorities will stand the search down - but if that happens
then we will considering chartering an aircraft and carrying on
privately.
|
|
"They are doing their
best - but the resources are a lot limited compared to what you would
have in the UK and the culture is a lot different too."
|
|
As well as being involved
with Jet Sport racing overseas and in the UK Jeremy was also a regular
volunteer as a Safety marshal for Offshore powerboat racing.
|
|
A Facebook group has been set
up in support of Jeremy and all his friends and family in these trying
times
|
|
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=33314837218
|
|
and in addition to this his
wife Jacqui’s colleagues at TK Maxx have launched a blog site with
the ability to donate to the Find Jeremy Hoyland Fund through Paypal
to assist with cost of the search campaign.

Jeremy, his wife and family and friends at this time and look forward

October : Bali Search For Missing Jet Skier. |
|
An extensive air and sea
search is under way after an experienced jet skier went missing while
riding off the coast of Bali.
|
|
Jeremy Hoyland, 41, from
Penistone, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was riding a borrowed jet
ski on October 24 when he encountered mechanical problems and was
believed to have been caught in a current.
|
|
Helicopters, navy vessels,
official boats and members of the public have been involved in the
search for Mr Hoyland.
|
|
The father-of-two is an
official for the International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA)
and had gone to Bali as race director for the jet ski sports events in
the 2008 Asia Beach Games.
|
|
Mr Hoyland failed to return
to Tanjung Benoa beach after going out on a jet ski with friends to
the nearby Nusa Lembongan islet on Friday.
|
|
A spokesman for the IJSBA
said:
|
|
"Jeremy spent his time
recreationally riding on a borrowed personal watercraft and
encountered mechanical problems which put him at the mercy of the
currents.
|
|
"Helicopter search
efforts began immediately upon the report of Jeremy not returning to
the event site."
|
|
A Foreign Office spokesman
said Mr Hoyland's wife, Jacqui, and brother had gone to Bali to help
authorities with the search.
|
|
He said: "We can confirm
that a British national, Jeremy Hoyland, 41-years-old, is missing off
the coast of Bali.
|
|
"The Indonesian
authorities have conducted an extensive air and sea operation and, as
I understand it, that operation will continue.
|
|
We are liaising with the
Indonesian authorities and Jeremy's wife and brother are both in Bali
helping authorities with the search."

October : Family Search For Missing UK Man. |
|
The wife and brother of a
British man who is missing in Indonesia have flown to Bali to help
search for him.
|
|
Jeremy Hoyland, 41, of
Penistone, South Yorkshire, travelled to the island as a race official
in the Asian Beach Games.
|
|
But the father-of-two has not
been seen since going on a sea scooter ride to nearby Nusa Lembongan
islet on Friday.
|
|
His wife, Jacqui, and brother
Nicholas have now joined the search. Meanwhile a family friend has
offered a $10,000 (£6,380) reward for his return.
|
|
Mr Hoyland and four of his
friends travelled to Nusa Lembongan on borrowed sea scooters.
|
|
He had planned to return to
Bali's Tanjung Benoa beach a few hours after the others to preside
over a sea scooter race.
|
|
He sent a text message from
his mobile phone about five hours after his friends returned to say he
was about two miles from the beach and needed help.
|
|
But after that all contact
with him was lost.
|
|
Rescue co-ordinator Heru
Taryoto told the AFP news agency:
|
|
"Extensive air and sea
search operations have so far failed to locate Mr Hoyland and his red
Yamaha Jet ski."
|
|
He added the authorities had
urged people in Bali, Lombok, Nusa Penida and small neighbouring
islands to help with the search.
|
|
Family friend Jonathan Oddy
said Mr Hoyland had more than 10 years' experience using sea scooters.
|
|
'Limited resources'
|
|
He added: "They have
been searching extensively for him. There is still no news, and no
sightings yet - but we are optimistic. There are plans for another air
search soon.
|
|
"They have examined the
local area but have told Jacqui and Nicholas they will now go further
afield."
|
|
"Clearly at some point
the local authorities will stand the search down - but if that happens
then we will considering chartering an aircraft and carrying on
privately.
|
|
"They are doing their
best - but the resources are a lot limited compared to what you would
have in the UK and the culture is a lot different too."
|
|
In June, British divers
Charlotte Allin, James Manning and Kathleen Mitchinson were rescued
off the country's eastern coast after going missing for two days. And
Mr Oddy said it was cases like this that gave him hope.
|
|
He said if Mr Hoyland, who
works for engineering company SB Components, was stranded on a smaller
island, it could take a while for him to be found. He could have run
into heavy waves, Mr Oddy added.
|
|
Mr Hoyland had been invited
to the games because of his expertise in the field. A former
competitor, he had been on the board of the British Jet Sport Racing
Association.
|
|
Another family friend, Scott
Frazier, executive director of the International Jet Sports Boating
Association, of which Mr Hoyland was an official, has offered a reward
for his safe return.
|
|
Others have also pledged
money to a search fund.
|
|
The Foreign Office is in
contact with Indonesian authorities and is providing consular
assistance to Mr Hoyland's family.

October : Jet Ski Racer Is Missing Off Bali. |
|
Worried Doncaster man
Jonathan Oddie was today awaiting news of a close pal who has gone
missing off the holiday island of Bali.
|
|
An air and sea search is
underway for South Yorkshire jet ski ace Jeremy Hoyland, after he
disappeared off the coast of the Indonesian resort on Friday afternoon
and has not been seen since.
|
|
The 41 year old from
Penistone is a leading light in the world of jet-ski sea scooter
racing and had been invited to Bali for the Asian Beach Games as a
guest of the organisers.
|
|
He had just finished an
assignment as race director at the world finals of the sport in the
USA.
|
|
On Friday Jeremy went out on
a recreational trip on sea scooters with four friends to the nearby
Nusa Lembongan islet.
|
|
He was supposed to return to
Tanjung Benoa beach a few hours later to preside over a sea scooter
race but did not turn up.
|
|
The rest of the party arrived
back with two scooters during the afternoon but Jeremy was not with
them.
|
|
Close friend Jonathan Oddie,
who has been monitoring the search operations from his home in the
Doncaster area, said Jeremy had 10 years' experience in the sport.
|
|
He said: "Jeremy
contacted base on his cellphone at around 2pm local time to report
there was a problem with one of the ski scooters.
|
|
"He called later at 6pm
to say that the ski had started to sink. Night was falling soon after
that so there was little time to get a helicopter up there to search
that day.
|
|
Now after two days of
searching Jeremy has still to be found. Resources are limited out
there, they have one boat and two helicopters, but all the local
fishermen have been helping in their boats as well."
|
|
Jonathan said Jeremy's wife
Jacqui had flown out to Indonesia, leaving their two children behind.
|
|
He added: "There is
still plenty of reason to be positive.
|
|
"Jeremy is an
experienced jet-skier and if he has managed to get to land I think his
chances are quite high.
|
|
There are hundreds of small
islands in that vicinity, but a lot are uninhabited and some only have
small populations with poor communications with the outside
world."
|
|
Jonathan said sea scooters
were really Jeremy's hobby - his day job was in the family engineering
business.
|
|
He added: "The next
stage will be to extend the search area so it covers hundreds of
square miles."

Jeremy Hoyland, 41, is
believed to have disappeared on Friday during a trip to Nusa Lembongan
islet, near Bali.
|

He failed to return in time
to preside over a sea scooter race starting at nearby Tanjung Benoa

boats and helicopters which had been escorting the race were diverted
to the search.

October : Search For Missing VIP Relocates Jet Ski Race. |
|
Matheos Viktor Messakh, The
Jakarta Post, Tanjung Benoa, Bali
|
|
The Asian Beach Games
organizers reshaped and relocated the venue of the jet ski competition
Saturday to allow the rescue team to focus on its search for event
director Jeremy Holland, who went missing during a leisure trip
Friday.
|
|
Competition official Daniel
Massie said most of the boats and helicopters allocated to escort the
race were instead deployed for the search effort.
|
|
As a result, the fairway,
which spanned from Tanjung Benoa Beach to the south,was relocated to
around Tanjung Benoa Beach to minimize the risk.
|
|
The previous fairway
stretched about 67 kilometers from Benoa Beach to Nusa Lembongan Islet
and was divided into three laps.
|
|
"We have been training
for quite a long time at the old fairway, and we had more or less
adjusted ourselves to it, but now we have to relocate," Massie
said.
|
|
"Jet skiing is about
stamina and strategy. Now, we have to change our strategy,"
|
|
Holland went missing during a
trip to Nusa Lembongan, some 20 kilometers south of Bali, along with
four of his friends.
|
|
The search effort began
Friday evening, Bali Police chief Insp. Gen.T. Asikin Husein said
|
|
"The jet skiers went out
to snorkel in the morning, but they didn't officially report to the
security officers,"Asikin told reporters during an inspection of
jet ski venue in Nusa Dua.
|
|
"They told the
competition manager that they would loiter around the seashore.
Actually they went to Nusa Lembongan to snorkel.
|
|
"On their way back, a
member of the group said he was tired so Jeremy, who is an
international jet ski master, offered to escort the group from behind.
He didn't arrive at the base camp, however, when the others did."
|
|
At around 5.30 p.m. Friday,
Peter, one of Holland's friends who went to island with him, received
a text message from Holland's UK cell phone number saying he was on
the right side of the beach, about two miles away from the seashore,
Husein said.
|
|
"It was his estimation,
it could have been farther than that,"Asikin said.
|
|
"If we learned his last
position and combined it with the Meteorology and Geophysics body
(BMG) analysis during the day, he might have been dragged by the wave
to the south. That is where our search effort is concentrated."
|
|
The jet ski competition,
which offers four gold medals, finished Saturday with Indonesia
winning two bronze medals from the runabout open and endurance open
events.
|
|
Rocky Soerapoetra won the
bronze in the runabout open Friday, while Temmy Fitramsyah Iskandar
took the bronze in open endurance race Saturday.
|
|
Indonesian jet skier
Irwansyah Adi Pratama finished third in the open ski category.
|
|
Because only Indonesia and
Thailand competed in the event, however, organizers are yet to decide
whether to present the host jet skier with the bronze in accordance
with Games rules.
|
|
The gold and silver medals
went to Thailand's Arthit Wongpinta and Chutchanun Siriwattanakul
respectively.

British jetski race director Jeremy Holland is reportedly stranded on

through to him by cell phone, but he said he did not know where he
was,"
|
|
Grace, an ABG official, told kompas.com

"He then said he was
thirsty," she said, adding that the contact was made Friday
evening.
|

Meanwhile, search and rescue
officers continued the search with the help of the Bali Police cyber
crime unit in tracing the location of the call.
|
|
"The exact location is
still unknown as the connection of the call was not that clear,"
a Bali police officer said.
|
|
Holland reportedly went
missing when he and three other jetski race judges took off to
Lembongan for a jetski ride.

He is thought to have lost
his way en route back to Tanjung Benoa beach, one of the ABG

around 1 p.m., but Holland, who was supposed to preside over the
evening race, failed to turn up at the base.
|
|
Jet ski competition manager
Fully Aswar said Holland and his friends had asked for his permission
to ride their crafts near Tanjung Benoa Beach. Aswar said he found out
later that they went to Nusa Lembongan islet instead.
|
|
"It was not in the jet
ski sport schedule. They went there on their own will. I only found
out that he was missing when I checked the team for the next
competition," Aswar told The Jakarta Post on Friday
evening.
|
|
Aswar regretted that
Holland's friends did not immediately report to the Games officials as
soon as they found out that their friend was missing.
|
|
"The basic rule in jet
ski sport is that a jet skier must keep within sight,"he said.
|
|
Aswar said Holland was
contactable through his cellphone at around 2 p.m. and said that he
was about two miles (3.22 km) away from the seashore. But later he
could not be reached.
|
|
At around 6 p.m. his number
could be contacted but there was no response.

October : Capsized Jet Ski Sparks Lifeboat Launch. |
|
By Andrew Douglas
|
|
A capaized jet ski sparked
the launch of the Redcar RNLI lifeboat this evening.
|
|
Its rider was thrown into the
sea after the jet ski was hit by a wave, close to the shore edge in
Coatham Bay.
|
|
Strong offshore winds then
blew it out to sea while the rider, a 36 year-old man from Dormanstown,
near Redcar, scrambled back to shore without injury.
|
|
The call came at 5.45pm after
a member of the public alerted Humber Coastguard.
|
|
Dave Cocks of Redcar RNLI
said:
|
|
"The rider was lucky
that the capsize happened fairly close to the shore and there was
still a bit of daylight left.
|
|
"The offshore wind is
very strong at the moment and the sea temperature is dropping quickly.
|
|
"He would have had
problems getting back to the beach if he had been further out.
|
|
"The engine was knocked
out of action by the capsize so he would have had no chance of getting
back to the beach under his own power. Searching for a person in the
water is doubly difficult once darkness falls.'
|
|
The drifting jet ski was
quickly located by the lifeboat crew and towed back to the beach.

October : Jet Ski Hazard. |
|
Jet skiers speeding around
the North-Norfolk coast were this week described as an “accident
waiting to happen” as frustrated councillors were told there was
nothing they could do to control them.
|
|
The comments came at a
district council cabinet meeting where members were told there was no
way to manage the skiers, who regularly prompt complaints about noise
and safety, because seaside villages refused to host designated launch
sites.
|
|
At the moment Sea Palling is
home to most of the district's skiers but attempts to find other sites
to relieve the pressure and steer them away from problem locations
have failed.
|
|
Consultations with five
communities - Overstrand, Trimingham, Bacton, Happisburgh and Walcott
- showed villagers were not willing to host the sport.
|
|
In a report put before
councillors on Monday Peter Frew, head of coastal strategy, said the
council's only option was to implement an awareness campaign and work
with the police to reduce the problem.
|
|
Speaking at the meeting, Cath
Wilkins said people wanting to use ramps at Trimingham for disabled
access had to compete with jet-ski users because there was no
legislation to limit where they could launch.
|
|
She said: “The whole thing
is an accident waiting to happen. This issue of conflict of usage
needs to be halted. There is going to be a death somewhere along the
line, I am sure.”
|
|
Several councillors expressed
their frustration at the government's refusal to require registration
for jet skis - making it almost impossible to identify people using
them dangerously or inconsiderately.
|
|
Brian Hannah said north
Norfolk relied on jet skiers as part of the tourism industry and he
was surprised a suitable site could not be found for them.
|
|
Councillors agreed to begin
an awareness campaign and produce a brochure outlining a code of
practice for skiers.
|
|
The council will also contact
the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the
Local Government Association to ask why they would not introduce laws
to control the use of the machines.

October : Jet-Ski Yobs Terrorise Wildlife And Boaters. |
|
By Kirsten Beacock
|
|
Jet-Ski riding yobs are being
hunted by police after terrorising wildlife and boat owners on the
River Nene at dangerous speeds.
|
|
Following two separate
reports of jet-skis travelling at high speeds past the Embankment in
the last two weeks, Cambridgeshire police has launched a joint
operation with the Environment Agency to capture the riders seen
flouting the law.
|
|
Neighbourhood Police Sergeant
Ricky Passam said:
|
|
"Two boat owners called
in to report the dangerous use of jet-skis, incidents that are also
dangerous to the wildlife on the river.
|
|
"The jet-ski riders are
using the Potters Way car park to park their vehicles and to launch
the jet-skis from there.
|
|
We are determined to take
positive action against those responsible and encourage people to call
in should they see someone with a jet-ski in these areas."
|
|
Community safety officer
Carol Aston added:
|
|
"We have wonderful swans
and geese, and we have the possibility of a colony of seals, so to
have them threatened by yobs ignoring the speed limit is
terrible.
|
|
One boat owner has decided to
leave after his deck was repeatedly swamped with water from the
jet-ski's wash."
|
|
A spokeswoman for The
Environment Agency, which manages the river, said:
|
|
"Internal waterways are
not suitable for jet-ski users. They create a huge wash which upsets
other users and the wildlife there."
|
|
The Environment Agency has
urged river users and passers-by to call a special hotline if they
spot anything suspicious.
|
|
She added: "People
should call and ask for the waterways team. They can then send someone
down immediately to deal with it."
|
|
Although boat traffic has
increased over the years on the River Nene, it is still quiet compared
with other major regional rivers.
|
|
Angling spokesman Ken Wade
said the anglers were used to sharing the river with boat owners and
the wildlife, but the introduction of jet-skis has thrown that balance
up in the air.
|
|
He said: "The riders
tear up and down the river creating a tremendous wash. Our water
bailiff, who clears up the river to help those fishing, got a complete
drenching from a jet-ski rider who deliberately turned at high-speed
in front of him.
|
|
"There are parts of the
river they can ride on, but they are appearing as high as Orton locks.
We have zero problems with boats but the jet-skis are causing
increasing friction."
|
|
The emergency hotline is 0800
807060 or police can be called on 0845 456 4564.

October : Donegal Boaters Face New Legislation. |
|
Donegal County Council is to
use the Maritime Safety Act 2005 to create a bye-law that could
prohibit recreational craft and Personal watercraft being used in
certain waters (initially 14) around the Donegal coast.
|
|
A public notice in the local
press byelaw referred to jet skis but now boaters in the area fear
that the bye-law will affect all pleasure craft.
|
|
The local press advert said:
|
|
“prohibit the launching and
operation of certain maritime craft including personal watercraft
(more commonly referred to as Jet Skis) in waters off certain beaches
in the county”
|
|
But “recreational craft”
as defined in the Maritime Safety Act 2005 could extend to a large
number of boats.
|
|
The act says
|
|
“recreational craft”
means a craft of not more than 24 metres in length (measured in
accordance with the ISO standard EN ISO8666:2002 — Small craft —
Principal data) intended for sports and leisure purposes.
|
|
Donegal sailors also say
traditional safe moorings could be scheduled as prohibited waters,
these including Downings Harbour and Marblehill in Sheephaven bay, and
at Rathmullen on Lough Swilly, all traditional boating spots.
|
|
"Both trailer sailors
and visiting yachts need to be made aware of where they aren’t
welcome, the fines start at €1000" said a local.

October : Sea Scooter Pair Found On Island. |
|
A man and a woman have been
rescued from Lough Neagh after their jet-powered sea scooter hit a
rock.
|
|
The couple, aged in their
30s, were seen leaving Gawleys Gate at about 1400 BST on Sunday.
|
|
The alarm was raised when
they had not returned by 1845 BST.
|
|
The police helicopter spotted
the couple on Rams Island and they were picked up by lifeboat.
|
|
Ian Murdock, Belfast
Coastguard duty manager, said that the pair had been lucky.
|
|
"These two people were
fortunate that an astute member of the public felt concerned enough to
raise the alarm," he said.
|
|
"The jet-ski had struck
a rock and filled with water off Rams Island. It is important to
notify someone of your intentions and to carry some means of
communications with the shore."

October : Jetskiers Rescued Thanks To A Concerned Member Of The
Public. |
|
Belfast
Coastguard has been coordinating a search a rescue this evening for
two missing people after a member of the public became concerned for
their safety at around 6.45pm this evening.
|
|
The
two people, a male and female in their 30s, had been seen to leave the
Gawleys Gate area of Lough Neagh at around 2.00 p.m. this afternoon on
their newly purchased silver jet ski and had not been seen since.
|
|
The
sea has been calm with no swell although water temperatures are
dropping at this time of year.
|
|
They
were seen to be wearing lifejackets when they left and the first
informant knew the man could not swim although he was wearing a wet
suit. Their car and trailer were still at their original location.
|
|
The
inshore rescue boat from Ardboe across the water from Gawleys Gate was
immediately asked to launch and the Irish Coastguard helicopter from
Dublin was scrambled.
|
|
The
Police Service helicopter was also diverted to the scene from Strabane.
The Kinnegoe lifeboat was also asked to launch.
|
|
A
mayday signal was broadcast into the area by the Coastguard in an
effort to alert other craft to keep a look out for the missing people.
|
|
By
7.25 this evening however, the Police helicopter in fading light saw
the two missing people on the west side of Rams Island in Lough Neagh
and a lifeboat was diverted to pick them up and bring them back to
Gawleys Gate where a Coastguard Team was due to meet them.
|
|
Ian
Murdock Duty Watch Manager at Belfast Coastguard said
|
|
"These
two people were fortunate that an astute member of the public felt
concerned enough to raise the alarm.
|
|
The
jetski had struck a rock and filled with water off Rams Island.
|
|
It
is important to notify someone of your intentions and to carry some
means of communications with the shore."

October : Barrage Boost To Teesside Visitors. |
|
by Mike Blackburn, Evening
Gazette
|
|
The Tees Barrage has enjoyed
record numbers of visitors despite one of the wettest summers on
record.
|
|
British Waterways’ figures
show 24,500 visitors to the watersports venue in August alone,
compared to just under 22,000 the previous year.
|
|
The visitor figures for July
were also more than 1,000 higher than the previous year at 20,049
compared with 19,537 for 2007.
|
|
This year the Tees Barrage
hosted a number of high profile watersports events including the
launch of the Jet Ski Racing Association’s 2008 British Tour.
|
|
Alan Slater, river manager
for British Waterways, said:
|
|
“I’m delighted so many
people are getting out and enjoying this beautiful spot.”
|
|
Les Southerton, project
director at the Stockton Middlesbrough Initiative, said:

“These figures show how

October : Plan For New Jetski Sites Falls Flat. |
|
Attempts to control jetskis
along the north Norfolk coast have been left high and dry because
seaside villages refuse to host extra launch sites.
|
|
Complaints about noise,
safety conflicts with other shore users and vehicles on the beach have
seen local officials and councillors trying to find a solution for
years.
|
|
Sea Palling is the main focus
for jet skiers, and is host to an unofficial management system run by
a local jetski business.
|
|
But fresh attempts to find
other sites to relieve the pressure and steer jetskiers away from
problem locations look to have failed.
|
|
Five other villages were
earmarked as possible launch sites - Overstrand east, Trimingham's
Vale Road, Bacton Cable Gap, Happisburgh Cart Gap and Walcott.
|
|
But none of the communities
was prepared to accept the idea, says North Norfolk District Council's
head of coastal strategy Peter Frew.
|
|
The only one not a raise a
strong objection was Walcott, and it was “probably the least
suitable” of the batch, because of existing complaints about noise
and cars on the beach, at a spot where parking was limited and housing
was close by.
|
|
An earlier jetski working
party set up in 2000 also failed to find an answer to the long-running
issue.
|
|
The council's own powers were
limited, due to the problems of policing the coastline, and the
government's refusal to require registration of jetskis, making it
difficult to identify people using them dangerously or
inconsiderately.
|
|
So, with the lack of other
controlled sites, due to community reluctance, the council's options
were also limited said Mr Frew, who is recommending scrapping any
attempts to promote new launch sites.
|
|
In a report to the cabinet on
October 20 he is suggesting all the council can do is continue to work
with the police through existing legislation, though he accepts that
“this is not likely to be seen as a high priority by the police.”
|
|
But it aims to stage a public
awareness campaign ahead of the jetski season, coupled with new signs
showing what behaviour is unacceptable, and how people can report
incidents.
|
|
Mr Frew said: “For this
option to be effective, complaints to the police must be timely.
|
|
“That places the onus on
the general public to report illegal, dangerous or anti-social
activity direct to the police.
|
|
“Letters to MPs or the
council after the event will not be effective and will only lead to
more frustration.”

October : Young Jetskier Crowned Champ. |
|
By Thomas Glover
|
|
Hatfield teenager has been
crowned number one in his category in the Jet Sport Racing Association
(JSRA) British Championship.
|
|
John Simister (15) of Manor
Road took first place in his class of Novice Roundabout last month
after taking part in six rounds of 18 races at venues throughout the
country.
|
|
He told the Gazette: "I
didn't know at the time, and my dad hadn't told me to stop me getting
nervous, but I only had to race one lap!
|
|
"I didn't know that
until the race actually started.
|
|
I had built up enough points
by that stage that all I had to do was come first in that last
lap."
|
|
The award comes as a massive
improvement after finishing sixth last year.
|
|
John, a pupil at Hungerhill
School in Edenthorpe, also gained third place in the category of
Amateur Runabout, and, despite being a junior, competed with adults,
adding to his achievement.
|
|
Before getting involved in
racing, John skiied recreationally with his father - and still does -
at Tyram Lake.
|
|
He said: "We used to
only jetski recreationally at the lake, until one of the other skiers
mentioned racing to us, and said it would be worth me looking into.
|
|
"It does mean that I now
have to raise the cash for a racing licence, instead of just standard
insurance."
|
|
John is continuing with his
summer's work of gardening and odd jobs to help pay for the funding
needed to compete in Europe but is currently looking for sponsorship
to help him achieve this aim.

October : Three Pals Tell Of Role In Jetski Crash Drama. |
|
Three best friends have
spoken of the moment they plucked an injured man to safety after two
water craft riders crashed in waters off Teignmouth.
|
|
Luke Liddle, Joe Allanson and
Ollie Seymour,
|
|
all 18, dashed to help a
62-year-old man who had been badly hurt in the incident 100 metres off
the beach on Sunday.
|
|
Another man involved, aged
59, was also hurt and suffered from shock and cuts to his chin and
right arm.
|
|
The riders, both from
Bristol, were on the crafts at the time.
|
|
Their families were also on
the beach and could only look on in horror.
|
|
The teenage trio, who are all
trained pool lifeguards, have been praised for their actions.
|
|
Teignmouth RNLI spokesman
Tony Watson said:
|
|
"Their actions were very
commendable and one can only admire their courage and tenacity. They
did a very good job."
|
|
The young men happened to be
kneeboarding off Teignmouth Pier at the time.
|
|
When they heard the commotion
they dashed over and formed a chain to tow the injured man ashore
where emergency services were waiting to take over.
|
|
Today they spoke of their
quick thinking and calm actions.
|
|
Luke, of Holcombe, and Joe,
from Preston, are lifeguards at Welcome Holiday Park, Dawlish Warren,
while Ollie, from Torquay, is a trainee lifeguard.
|
|
They were in the water
kneeboarding, a popular sport in which a person kneels on a board
similar to a surfboard and is towed by a seaborne motorcraft.
|
|
Luke said:
|
|
"We heard the noise and
looked up to see two jet skis had crashed. One was pretty smashed up.
|
|
"We just acted
instinctively. We went over and realised one of the men was quite
seriously injured.
|
|
"The other man was
trying to lift him on to his craft but we knew not to do this because
it could make his injuries worse.
|
|
"We had to keep him as
flat as possible.
|
|
"I recognised who was
involved because they have come to Teignmouth over the last two
summers from the Bristol area.
|
|
"They are normally safe
but I think this was just a freak accident."
|
|
The lads got to work making
the man comfortable so they could take him back to dry land.
|
|
Joe said:
|
|
"Luke got himself behind
the man and held him steady. He was in a lot of pain and was saying he
had chest and arm pains.
|
|
Ollie was also holding him to
keep him flat but he was also holding on to a tow-rope which was
attached to the craft I was on.
|
