Solent Sailing Club and Yacht Share

A south coast not-for-profit sailing club with a difference!

Try us out, come for a sail Tops’l could be just what you’re looking for!

Solent sailing and yacht share Sailing in the Solent Sailing in the Solent

A most satisfying way to sail the Solent, South Coast and beyond, based at Port Solent with three top notch yachts to share

• Tops’l welcomes new members of all sailing abilities
• No limit to when or how many days you sail
• Sailing charges relate only to days sailed
• Three different boats providing a range of sailing experiences
• Gain a real sense of ownership without the associated worries
• Emphasis on cruising; choice of sailing areas each season
• Club mentors to help build skills and confidence > see Phil’s Story <
• A club run by the members for the members
• Reduced sailing rates for winter

  These are just a few of the many benefits Tops’l offers its members

Southerly 110

Carina of Solent has added a new dimension to our sailing. Her twin rudders and swing keel offer the flexibility of sailing shallow waters, exploring creeks and of drying out, sitting upright! Together with a tall fractional rig she gives good performance and is a stable, comfortable and fun yacht – perfect for an upcoming cruise in the Netherlands.

ELFIDA replaced our Dufour 36 – with twin steering wheels and large cockpit space, she is a popular, fun yacht and an ideal club boat.     Below deck, there are three sleeping cabins, suitable for families or three couples and her roomy main cabin includes a smart galley with a large top loading fridge; ideal for cruising in Brittany and the south coast.

Hallberg Rassy 36

JOCALIA is a heavier displacement sea kindly yacht and it’s no secret that the HR 36 is a well proven blue water cruiser. With her well-protected centre cockpit, great deck seats at the stern, comfortable, cosy cabins and secure galley, she is a much loved yacht for both local and offshore cruising. She has visited The Azores & Madeira.

Founded in 1979, Tops’l members still enjoy a flexible, affordable way to sail in great waters (not always in the UK) and in effect are all part owners of not one but three very different top quality yachts.

With an emphasis on cruising, our yachts carry up to date safety equipment and are maintained to the highest standard. Members enjoy fabulous south coast sailing, offshore passages and exploring new cruising grounds together with opportunities to improve sailing skills.

Organised club sails and social events add to the welcoming club atmosphere and there is always someone to sail with.  Our inclusive, like-minded members come from all walks of life and some travel from quite far afield to sail with us, testament to our supportive friendly club and the satisfaction of sailing superb yachts.

You may have your own boat but are now looking for an alternative way to sail or perhaps you are thinking of becoming a boat owner but not yet sure – come and try us first!  Whether you are a lone sailor or have a sailing family; how much or how little time you have to spend on the water or whatever your sailing ability, you are welcome to come for a sail and see for yourself.

Our sailing.

Club Cruises

With a spirit of adventure we have cruised to Greece, the Spanish Rias, the Azores, Holland, Brittany, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland and many more locations. Skippers and crew members get together to book for a week or longer taking part in offshore passages or exploring new areas. Our exclusive ‘family & friends’ option affords skippers especially, a real sense of ownership. ( see costs )

Local and Club Sailing

Whilst our boats can be away cruising at least one boat stays at base for individual bookings by members.  Ladies sails and monthly club sails held both at a weekend and also midweek are planned in advance.  These sociable events can be a couple of days in the Solent or a longer crossing maybe to France or the Channel Islands and are ideal for members to meet each other and plan future trips.

Skills and Mentoring

By sailing with experienced mentors and taking part in Club Boat Handling Days, members may improve their sailing skills to a high standard in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.  First Aid and Survival Courses are arranged and periodically RYA training and exams may be arranged using our own boats. For any members interested in maintenance there are opportunities to become involved.

Through the purchase of shares, all Tops’l members are effectively part owners of the club’s assets and have the benefit of sailing top quality yachts. Tops’l is a not for profit organisation and charges are set so that members may both enjoy and maintain high standards by covering costs together with the effects of depreciation and inflation in an affordable way.

Unlike some schemes, the cost you pay is related to the amount you sail.

What will it cost to join us?

There are three cost elements to Tops’l membership – share purchases, monthly subscriptions, and daily sailing charges.

Share Purchase:  On joining, a minimum of 600 shares @ £3.49 * = £2,094

Monthly Subscription: Individual £36 (crew), £54 (skipper) Family Membership: For an additional £12/month family and friends may sail A member’s children or grandchildren under 18 sail free

Daily Sailing Charge: £55/day (less Discount – see below) Plus a share of fuel and away from base mooring costs Family Exclusive : Exclusive use of yacht for family and friends £220/day NB Charge is for four berths and the discount may also be used

*     Share price to 2025 AGM.   Please email [email protected] for further information.

Shares : The minimum requirement for a member’s holding is 600.  Members’ shareholdings vary considerably and in most cases are very much dependant on individual circumstances and usage of the club.  For instance, the average holding of a skipper is in the region of 2,700 shares.  Fairness is achieved through an annual shareholder discount.  Shares must be held for a minimum of five years and, when the member leaves/retires, the shares can be redeemed at the latest share price.

Subscription : There is a low subscription which is paid monthly and in the first instance everyone joins as crew.  For a small additional monthly supplement a ‘family and friends option’ is available and all family and friends must be nominated on an easily amended list.

Sailing Charges : Based on a berth/day concept.  A member books a berth rather than the whole boat so the individual charge is the same whether three persons or more are on board.

Engine Charges : These cover the cost of fuel, gas and maintenance and are charged per hour of use shared by the crew.

Discount : The discount is in the form of Annual Sailing Vouchers: Each block of 100 fully paid for shares attracts one voucher to be used during the year of issue and may not be carried forward.  One voucher per person per day reduces the daily sailing cost by £13.  A member may use them for anyone in his/her crew.

Other Charges: Insurance excess min. £450+ excess depending on sailing area – shared by the crew in the event of an incident.

Shares : The minimum requirement for a member’s holding is 600.  Members’ shareholdings vary considerably and in most cases are very much dependant on individual circumstances and usage of the club.  For instance, the average holding of a skipper is in the region of 2,700 shares.  Fairness is achieved through an annual shareholder discount.  Shares must be held for a minimum of five years and, when the member leaves/retires, the shares can be redeemed back to the club at the latest share price.

Other Charges: Insurance excess min. £500+ excess depending on sailing area – shared by the crew in the event of an incident.

Phil’s Story

Tops’l is a remarkable cruising club. For someone like me who is hoping to progress to Yachtmaster, I can kill two birds with one stone by getting the miles and qualifying passages whilst having a holiday and some fun with other members. Two other distinct plusses are the sheer quality and condition of the yachts (Carina was in fine fettle for the trip) and also the mentoring from longstanding members like Steve, Mike and Peter. I learnt a huge amount in the week as indeed I did last year in Devon with Mike and Adrian.

West Solent One Design Restored & Racing: Toba in Argentina

Toba is a fine example of a reborn West Solent One Design, which is now alive and kicking, and playing hard in Argentina, Marcelo Baltzer Foucher reports.

The legacy of toba , the west solent one design.

Toba is one of the five West Solent Class commissioned by the Argentina Yacht Club and ordered in 1924.

According to the brochure published in 1926 by the builder and designer, Mr. Harry G. May at Berthon Boat Company Limited , they were advertised as the “Lymington Racing Cruisers”, then became known as the “W” boats and finally classed as the “West Solent Restricted One-Design Class” that lead to the acronym WSOD.

The first five boats were built in 1924 for members of the Lymington Yacht Club at a cost of £600. In the same year, five boats were built under Lloyds supervision and sent to Argentina. According to the same brochure the owners were very happy with the boats and their performance.

The Argentinian boats were all named after native tribes, these being: Querandí, Toba, Ona, Timbú and Yagan , and for this reason they were known as “Los Indios”.

Of the five boats that arrived in Argentina, only Toba is operational and competing in the Argentinian Classic Boats circuit in the Vintage category.

Querandí is in the process of restoration, Ona is in the port of La Paloma in Uruguay and has been converted into a cruising boat and there is no information about Yagan and Timbú .

A total of 36 boats were built, half of which are still sailing in the UK, France, Spain and now Argentina . 

A Providential Destiny

Fate has curious ways of manifesting itself. Juan Pablo Fregonese, Marcelo Baltzer and Carlos Criado, the partners of the project, discovered this dream boat in almost mystical circumstances. 

After finishing the last day of regattas of the J70 European Championship held in Vigo, Spain, in June 2018, we wondered how much longer we could withstand the rigors of the J70 and raised the idea of looking for a classic boat as the next phase of our passion for competitive sailing, but we did not set a date.

Three years later we were chatting about classic boats while having lunch at the Yacht Club Argentino with Carlos (Pacho) Criado, and by chance we encountered Toba for the first time.

An acquaintance from the club came over and, as if revealing a hidden treasure, she said, I have the boat for you! She showed us pictures of Toba . She was a jewel that demanded a major restoration, but her charm and historical relevance were undeniable. A few Google searches and an immediate visit to the Yacht Club San Isidro to see it in person, sealed the deal. Marcelo, who lives in Spain, was convinced by his wife Tatei to join the project, despite initial concerns about distance. And so, in April 2021, Toba was under new command.

The Rebirth of Toba

The process of conservation, restoration and enhancement of Toba was based on the conservation principles established by the National Historic Ships UK (NHS-UK) in the guidance manual Conserving Historic Vessels .

West Solent One Design: Objectives

Firstly, we pictured three possible scenarios for the restoration of Toba . Would we restore the boat for a museum exhibition, without nautical requirements? Make her sail again without other demands than the current safety regulations? Alternatively, could we make a much greater effort and intervene with all the necessary procedures as indicated by the NHS-UK, for her to sail and participate in regattas?

After very enjoyable and long conversations, we went for the last option and embraced a restoration project that would keep us very busy during the subsequent 18 months.

Juan Pablo began working in Buenos Aires, at the shipyard of the YCA headquarters San Fernando, and looking for the best local artisans. Meanwhile, Marcelo visited Berthon Boat Company at The Shipyard in Lymington, England, where all but one of the WSOD fleet were built and met Brian May, MD of the company, and great-grandson of the original designer Harry G May, who kindly showed and explained to us his ongoing restoration of the West Solent W8 Ripple, ex Dinah, by young apprentices. Brian also gave us access to the original drawings, PR and sail plans. In addition, Marcelo visited Kevin Fuller, owner of the W29 Mischief and Chris Preston, owner of the W2 Suvretta , both enjoying sailing today on the English coast. They all showed great enthusiasm and shared very valuable information with us.

Assessment and State of Conservation

A technical diagnosis and detailed analysis of each component of the boat was carried out by Juan Pablo and his team to determine the materials and technology used for its construction 100 years ago. 

We were powerfully struck by the minimalist design and elegant arrangement of the internal structure of the stringers that were kept visible in the original design. When a plank was dismantled, the discovery of bronze nails with a square section, used in the attachment of planks to the hull frames, gave us a favourable picture of the general solidity and good state of preservation of the hull. Likewise, the lodging knees of frames, beams, metal plate floors and reinforcements were found in a very good state of conservation, allowing us to plan the tasks to be carried out during the restoration process. 

In parallel, several consultations were made with technical specialists to validate our initial findings and to perform a state-of-the-art scan of the original mast and boom to rule out fissures and confirm the solidity of the Oregon pine wood.

Historical archives were searched for graphic and photographic backgrounds to support technical and design decisions.

The process was supported by videos and pictures to create a project portfolio with draw ings, sail plans and written documents.

Conservation, Intervention and Updating

We decided to respect the designer’s original idea and worked towards rebuilding an agile and simple racing boat, emphasising on performance in regatta sailing. 

Throughout the process, it was a priority to preserve as many of the original elements as possible in their current state, restoring them when required. 

We carried out the following main works

Mast and boom: complete cleaning and sanding (to zero), repair and filling of cavities and perforations caused by previous screws and fittings, and application of nine layers of marine varnish with anti-UV protection. As the boom and mast were original, we installed the mast according to the 1924 plan, we cut the boom based on the 2019 sail plan and kept it height position based on the existing location of the fittings on the mast. With the boat and sails being more rigid, the loss of mainsail area is easily bettered by less weather helm, especially in heavier wind.  

Rigging: we based the rigging design on the 2019 sail plan provided by Berthon and we added a lower shroud to gain mast stability. We relocated the closed shroud turnbuckles below deck, designing special bushings and chainplates that absorbed the change of direction stress from the low shrouds, resulting in a clean and stylish deck. 

Hull: replacement of the necessary planks with semi-hard Bolivian cedar wood, which has a density almost identical to that of the original mahogany.

Deck structure: adaptation, relocation, and addition of horizontal and vertical reinforcements, to support the fittings of the new deck layout.

Keel and rudder: replacement of the original Admiralty bronze keel bolts with stainless steel replicas and a full hydraulic sealing was used to fix the ballast to the keel. A complete reconstruction of the rudder shaft and blade was made.

Deck: a classic solution was chosen, with a caulked, flush deck, supported and fixed directly to the beams. Petiribí, a local hardwood, was used.  The height of the skylight butterfly hatch and coaming was reduced by 3in (75mm), to improve and emphasize the sheer and proportion of the hull.

Cockpit: the original closing hatch was modified and made removable to accommodate an additional crew member position in the cockpit area. 

Fittings: we respected the original position of main halyard and headsail winches on the mast, avoiding the use of organisers and stoppers on deck. In the cockpit, the original sheet winches were reused. All new fittings and deck rails were bought from special classic boat vendors like Davey & Co, Toplicht or Wilmex.

As expected, the launch that took place in the Yacht Club Argentino San Fernando in June 2022 has been a great success and the first test for this reborn boat. 

Furthermore, she exceeded our expectations in the first regatta and continued to do so in subsequent competitions, winning in 2023 the gold medal of the Argentinian Yacht Club in the Vintage class and the 2023 Grand Prix of Classics in category B of the Vintage class. 

In addition, Toba has sailed 800 nautical miles in El Rio de la Plata to compete in Uruguay in the last two years during which she responded excellently in heavy seas and 30 knots of wind.

Far from being a transition to a more relaxed life, as we initially thought, sailing this West Solent One Design  has proven to be an experience full of technical and emotional challenges, but hugely rewarding and giving us a blast from the past.

Today, with Toba back on the water and the recognition of the Argentinian nautical community, the project partners feel they have achieved something monumental, the recovery of one of the most significant boats in the history of classic Argentinian sailing.
