 BRITANNIA Royal Sailing Yacht The most successful racing sailboat of all time Royal yacht Britannia was built for the Queen Victoria's son Edward, Prince of Wales, successor to the throne. She was launched on 20 April 1893 and joined a fleet of first class cutters that was growing fast as others followed the royal lead. In a highly competitive fleet, sailboat Britannia soon set about achieving the race results which would eventually establish her as the most successful racing yacht of all time.  By the end of her first year's racing, the sailboat Britannia had scored thirty-three wins from forty-three starts. In her second season, she won all seven races for the first class yachts on the French Riviera , and then beat the 1893 America's Cup defender Vigilant . In 1895 she won 38 of 50 regattas. It is the record which no other yacht in history ever able to repeat. In 1897, Britannia beat the yacht Meteor of the Chancellor of Germany and won the Challenger Cup. In 1921, the new owner, King George V, refitted Britannia out for racing, and for the first few seasons replicated the stunning earlier successes. However, as the years progressed Britannia became increasingly unable to hold its own against the more modern rigged J-class yachts. After George V’s death in 1936, sailboat Britannia was towed out into the English Channel and sunk in deep water off the Isle of Wight, in accordance with his dying wishes. Britannia ' s 51-foot (16 m) long gaff, the king’s chair, tiller, some mast hoops, blocks and rigging, anchor chain and clock are preserved in the Sir Max Aitken Museum in Cowes High Street and the remains of her spinnaker boom are at Carisbrooke Castle , also on the Isle of Wight. The spinnaker boom was given for use as a flag pole on the keep.

His Majesty’s Yacht Britannia was a gaff-rigged cutter built in 1893 for Commodore Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. It served him and his son, King George V, a long racing career. After the Prince of Wales’ nephew Kaiser Wilhelm II acquired the racing cutter Thistle in 1891, her Scottish designer George Lennox Watson received a commission from Edward VII for a sailing yacht in 1892. He designed His Royal Highness’ Yacht Britannia to the “Length And Sail Area Rule” as a First Class cutter and had her built alongside his America’s Cup challenger Valkyrie II at the D & W Henderson Yard on the River Clyde. She was launched on April 20th, 1893, a week ahead of Valkyrie II. By the end of her first year’s racing, the Britannia had scored thirty-three wins from forty-three starts. In her second season, she won all seven races for the big class yachts on the French Riviera, and then beat the 1893 America’s Cup defender Vigilant in home waters. King George V’s dying wish was for his beloved yacht to follow him to the grave. On 10 July 1936, after the Britannia had been stripped of her spars and fittings, her hull was towed out to St Catherine Deep near the Isle of Wight, and she was sunk by HMS Winchester.Similar products.

HMY Britannia was built at the shipyard of John Brown & Co. Ltd in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, UK, being launched by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 16 April 1953 and commissioned on 11 January 1954.
The ship was designed with three masts, a 133-foot (41 m) foremast, a 139-foot (42 m) mainmast, and a 118-foot (36 m) mizzenmast. The top 20 feet (6.1 m) of the foremast and mainmast were hinged, to allow the ship to pass under bridges.
Britannia was designed to be converted into a hospital ship in time of war, although this capability was never used. In the event of nuclear war it was intended that the Queen would take refuge aboard Britannia along the North West coast of Scotland
The crew of Royal Yachtsmen were volunteers from the general service of the Royal Navy. Officers were appointed for up to two years, while the "yachtsmen" were drafted as volunteers and after 365 days' service could be admitted to "The Permanent Royal Yacht Service" (upon volunteering and subsequently being accepted) as Royal Yachtsmen and served until they chose to leave the Royal Yacht Service or were dismissed for medical or disciplinary reasons. As a result, some served for 20 years or more.
The ship also carried a platoon of Royal Marines when members of the Royal Family were on board.
Britannia sailed on her maiden voyage from Portsmouth to Grand Harbour, Malta, departing 14 April and arriving 22 April 1954. She carried Princess Anne and Prince Charles to Malta in order for them to meet the Queen and Prince Philip in Tobruk at the end of the royal couple's Commonwealth Tour. The Queen and Prince Philip embarked on Britannia for the first time in Tobruk on 1 May 1954.
On 20 July 1959, Britannia sailed the newly opened Saint Lawrence Seaway en route to Chicago, where she docked, making the Queen the first Canadian monarch to visit the city. U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was aboard Britannia for part of this cruise; Presidents Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton also were later welcomed aboard the Yacht. Charles and Diana, the Prince and Princess of Wales, took their honeymoon cruise aboard Britannia in 1981. The ship also evacuated over 1,000 refugees from the civil war in Aden in 1986.
According to journalist Andrew Marr in his book The Real Elizabeth (2012), at least as of 1965, the British government planned for the Royal Yacht to serve as the Queen's refuge in the event of nuclear war. Peter Hennessy wrote, "It was her floating nuclear bunker... it would lurk in the sea lochs on the north-west coast of Scotland; the mountains would shield it from the Soviet radar and at night it would go quietly from one sea loch to another."
During her career as Royal Yacht Britannia conveyed the Queen, other members of the Royal Family, and various dignitaries on 696 foreign visits and 272 visits in British waters. In this time Britannia steamed 1,087,623 nautical miles (2,014,278 km)
In 1997, John Major's Conservative government committed itself to replacing the Royal Yacht if re-elected, while the Labour Party declined to disclose its plans for the vessel. Following Labour's victory on 1 May 1997 it was announced that the vessel would be retired and no replacement would be built. The Conservative government argued that the cost of the vessel was justified by its role in foreign policy and promoting British interests abroad, particularly through conferences held by British Invisibles. When canceling the replacement of the vessel, the new Labour government argued that the expenditure could not be justified given the other pressures on the defense budget (from which it would be funded and maintained). Proposals for the construction of a new royal yacht, perhaps financed through a loan or by the Sovereign's own funds, have since made little headway.
The Royal Yacht's last foreign mission was to convey the last governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten (now The Lord Patten of Barnes), and the Prince of Wales away from Hong Kong after its handover to the People's Republic of China on 1 July 1997. Britannia was decommissioned on 11 December 1997.
There was some controversy over the siting of the ship, with some arguing that she would be better moored on the Clyde, where she was built, than in Edinburgh, with which the yacht had few links. However, her positioning in Leith coincided with a redevelopment of the harbour area, and the advent of Scottish devolution.
The Queen was reported to have wept at the decommissioning ceremony, which she attended along with most of the senior members of the Royal Family.
Listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, Core Collection, Britannia is now permanently moored as a five-star visitor attraction in the historic Port of Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, and is cared for by the Royal Yacht Britannia Trust, a registered Scottish charity.
Entrance to the yacht is via the Ocean Terminal development, and over 250,000 people visit Britannia every year. She is also one of the UK's top evening events venues. On 18 May 2006, the Swiss-born Hollywood actress and first Bond girl, Ursula Andress, celebrated her 70th birthday on board the Royal Yacht. On 29 July 2011, a cocktail party was held on board the Britannia for Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter Zara Phillips and her husband Mike Tindall to celebrate their upcoming wedding; the yacht had been hired for the occasion.
A retired Rolls-Royce Phantom V state car, owned by the royal family in the 1960s, is on display in the purpose-built garage aboard Britannia. Other highlights of the tour of the five decks that are open to the public include the Queen's Bedroom (behind a glass wall), and the State Dining Room. The Royal Deck Tea Room opened in 2009.
The 1936 racing yacht Bloodhound, once owned by the Queen, is now berthed alongside Britannia. Bloodhound was one of the most successful ocean-racing yachts ever built and was also the yacht on which both the Prince of Wales and Princess Royal learned to sail. The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust bought Bloodhound in early 2010 and she is the centerpiece of an exhibition focusing on the Royal Family's passion for sailing. Visitors can view Bloodhound from a specially built pontoon when the racing yacht is in port. |  HMY Britannia (1893); Recreation vessel; yachtFor more information about using images from our Collection, please contact RMG Images .

Sailing Yacht BritanniaIn April 1893, some 20 years into G. L. Watson ’s trail blazing career, the royal sailing yacht Britannia was launched. The prestige associated with this order from the Price of Wales, Britannia’s revolutionary design, enduring beauty, speed and a 43 year career in the ownerships of King Edward VII and King George V have all contributed to the Britannia legend. The Royal sailing yacht Britannia racing CareerBritannia was built at D&W Henderson’s shipyard on the Clyde alongside her near sister, the America’s Cup challenger Valkyrie II . Her spoon bow was controversial and Watson was initially condemned for experimenting on such a prestigious commission, but it was not long before her admirable qualities were recognised and the perfection of hull form became known as the ‘ Britannia ideal’. In the great season of 1893, Britannia acted as a trial horse for America’s Cup challenger Valkyrie II and saw off the challenge of the Herreshoff designed Navahoe to dominate racing in British waters. The following year when America’s Cup victor Vigilant raced in Britain in what was mooted as a re-run of the America’s Cup races, Britannia dominated; upholding British racing prowess after the loss of Valkyrie II . The introduction of a new rating rule in 1896 gave Watson the opportunity to out-design Britannia , but the arrival of the Kaiser’s Meteor II killed off both the King’s pleasure and his prospects of winning. In 1898 Edward VII sold Britannia , but soon regretted it and by 1902 she was back in his ownership and once again became a regular sight on the British regatta circuit. Inherited by George V in 1910, Britannia was updated and again raced successfully in the British Big Class. The lead provided by George V in fitting out Britannia for the 1920 season re-established the Big Class in the aftermath of World War I and paved the way for the likes of Cambria , Astra and the J Class. Conversion to J-ClassFollowing Watson’s early death in 1904, all leading British yacht designers were involved in the regular updating of the royal sailing yacht Britannia . In 1930 it was Charles E. Nicholson ’s turn and he designed what remains the world’s tallest wooden mast for her. In 1931 Britannia emerged rejuvenated to race competitively with the J Class against which she would add a further 15 firsts to her racing record. Britannia’s last season was the summer of 1935, when the American J Class Yankee visited British waters, in what was the last great flourishing of Big Class racing. Then with the King’s health failing she was withdrawn from racing and on 10th July 1936 her great career came to an end. As per the dying wishes of George V, she was towed out to St. Catherine’s Deep off the Isle of Wight and scuttled. Although not a sailor, King Edward VIII fully appreciated the affection that surrounded Britannia and after she was scuttled, he commanded that G. L. Watson & Co. be presented with a memento of what remains the most successful racing yacht of all time. This souvenir of Britannia is held in the G.L. Watson Archive together with the original drawings. G.L. Watson & Co.

Momentous day for INEOS Britannia as AC75 sets sail for first timeBritish Challenger of Record’s new AC75 race boat makes sailing debut in Barcelona Cycling sailors ‘Cyclors’ seen on the British boat for the first time, after collaboration between INEOS Britannia, INEOS Grenadiers and Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team INEOS Britannia Team Principal and Skipper Sir Ben said it “felt amazing” to be sailing the race boat after years of development INEOS Britannia’s new race boat for the 37th America’s Cup has set sail for the very first time. The British Challenger’s AC75 took to the water in Barcelona with Olympic Gold medallists Sir Ben Ainslie and Giles Scott at the Helm on Wednesday 1st May. INEOS Britannia, the British Challenger of Record representing Royal Yacht Squadron Ltd for the 37th America’s Cup, has been working towards this moment for over two-and-a-half years with team members in the UK and Spain working on the design, construction and development of the race boat, known as RB3. After RB3’s arrival in Barcelona on 6 April, the INEOS Britannia systems and shore team had been working tirelessly to install and check final elements to ensure she was ready to hit the water. A tow test was performed on the water on Friday 26th April to check controls, systems and sensors before the crew set sail today.  Speaking after stepping ashore from the first sail, INEOS Britannia Team Principal and Skipper Sir Ben Ainslie said: “This is a momentous day for the entire team. Everyone has worked incredibly hard to get us to this point and I want to thank all involved for their effort and commitment. “After years of design and development, it felt amazing to be out on the Barcelona waters in RB3. We’ve spent a lot of time in our simulator recently, so it was great to be out there for real and putting all of our learnings into practice.”  While it was the first time sailing the new AC75 for all of the team, for some members it was the first time they had ever been on a foiling race boat. INEOS Britannia’s AC75 has estimated top speeds of 50kts and is powered by four cycling sailors, “Cyclors”, who have been training on road bikes for much of the last two years. Four out of eight INEOS Britannia Cyclors come from the world of Olympic rowing and are new recruits to the America’s Cup. INEOS Britannia Cyclor Neil Hunter said: “After a lot of time cycling in the gym and on the roads, it was a big milestone to be out on the boat. While our training has been cycling-focused, some of the new rowing recruits took part in sailing courses to get used to being on the water. Although the AC75 will be the first time on a foiling boat for the rowers in the team, we have the likes of Matt Gotrel, Freddie Carr, myself and Ben Cornish in the Cyclor squad who have spent a lot of time on these boats.”  The Cyclor programme has been a collaboration between three INEOS Sport teams, INEOS Britannia, INEOS Grenadiers and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. The eight-strong Cyclor squad has been training with top cyclists from the INEOS Grenadiers, while designers and engineers from the F1 team have helped develop the Cyclor system for the AC75. The 37th America’s Cup will be the second time the AC75 class race boat will be raced in the Cup, after it was introduced to the competition in Auckland in 2021. There have been rule changes, notably and most obviously reducing the number of the crew on-board from 11 to 8. The full INEOS Britannia crew consists of: Sir Ben Ainslie, David ‘Freddie’ Carr, Ben Cornish, Dylan Fletcher, Matt Gotrel, Neil Hunter, Iain Jensen, Harry Leask, Leigh McMillan, Bleddyn Mon, Luke Parkinson, Matt Rossiter, Giles Scott, James Skulczuk and Ryan Todhunter.  With under 115 days until racing begins, the Team will now focus on testing RB3 ahead of the Barcelona Preliminary Regatta on 22-25 August, where all six teams will race their AC75s against each other for the first time. The five challenging teams will then battle it out in The Louis Vuitton Cup (Challenger Selections Series 29 Aug – 7 Oct) to win the right to take on Defender Emirates Team New Zealand in the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup match (12-27 October). On Saturday May 18th, INEOS Britannia will officially christen RB3 at her naming event in Barcelona, fans can sign up to watch the event live here RB3 stats: Crew: 8 (2 co-helm, 2 trimmers and 4 cyclors) Individual parts: 120,000+ Sensors & channels: 700+ Onboard Cameras: 33 linked back to shore Data channels: 30,000+ Estimated top speed: 50kts + Length: 20.7m Max Beam: 5m Weight: 6,200 Kgs  HOW TO SAIL YOUR YACHT While most people who own a model yacht will be happy to watch it sail across a lake or a pond without wanting to know about the finer points of sailing, there are many of you who would. Here is a simple guide to sailing with some added hints on the correct handling of your yacht, this will help you understand how obtain the best performance from it in different weather conditions. According to the setting or trim of the sails you can make your yacht sail in a given direction in relation to the wind. These settings are shown in the diagram below and are known as: A. "Beating", or "Close Hauled", when a yacht is sailing against the wind. B. "Reaching", when the wind is blowing broadside, or "abeam". C. "Running", when the yacht is sailing before the wind, (with the wind directly behind it)  As a general rule even If you are not a beginner it is a good idea to set the sails slackly at first, this will ensure good performance in almost any wind conditions, you can then set the sails how you want them to be once you have a good idea of how your yacht is going to perform on the day, and adjust accordingly. Matching the setting of the sails in relation to each other is important, as the correct balance needs to be achieved. If the model turns too close into the wind, causing it to "Beat" to a standstill, or go about, then the jib will need tightening in a little, or alternatively you can slacken off the mainsail sheet a fraction. If, on the other hand, the model tends to turn off down-wind, the jib will require slackening or alternatively the mainsail will need tightening. You may find in some instances that you might need to adjust both the jib and mainsail at the same time. To make headway up-wind a method called "Beating" "Close Hauled" or "Tacking" is used, to do this you will need to sail the yacht with the bow pointing as close to the wind as possible (can be 45 degrees). When the opposite shore is reached, the yacht is put about, (you use a turning pole for this or lift your yacht out of the water and reset the sails on cutters and shove off). Your yacht will proceed with the wind on the opposite side as shown in figure, A. When the model is sailing with the wind "abeam" as in figure, B. It is advisable not to have the sails "sheeted in" too tightly, especially in a stiff breeze, as this will cause the model to heel over too steeply. Should you wish to try "Running" before the wind as shown in figure, C you will need to open up the jib and mainsail by loosening the sheeting to its full extent. You will need to sail with the wind directly behind you and have the jib and mainsail swung as far as they will go in opposite directions to each other ideally at 180 degrees. Not all pond yachts can do this, due to the way they are constructed. Remember that to obtain the maximum efficiency and therefore speed from your yacht, it should be sailed as upright as possible as the hull will be offering less resistance when sailing on an even keel. This is particularly true for hard chine yachts and less so for yachts with a more rounded shaped hull. Boats fitted with manually adjusted rudders and automatic rudders can help keep the boat on course, manually adjusted rudders should be set straight ahead at first so that you can set the sails, once happy with how your yacht sails you can then add some helm if required. Yachts fitted with Braine Gear are a little more complicated to control there is a section on how to sail with Braine Gear in the the Yacht Terminology Section. It is hoped that this description helps you to understand what can be a difficult technique to grasp, and so help you gain even more enjoyment from this absorbing outdoor activity. Points of Sail These terms are nautical terms that apply more to those of you using radio control however these terms will be interesting to free sailing enthusiasts as well. A "Starboard Tack" is when the wind is from "abeam" Starboard Side. A "Port Tack" is when the wind is from "abeam" Port Side. To "Tack"or "Go About" is to change from one tack to another by putting bow through the wind. 'Fine' or 'Close Reach" is a course between "Close-Hauled" and a "Beam Reach". "To Luff -Up" is to steer the boat towards the wind. "Beam Reach"is when the wind comes over the beam (90 degrees) "To Gybe" is to let the mainsail change sides by putting the stern through the wind. "Broad Reach" is when the wind comes over the quarter. "Dead Run" or "Running Before The Wind" is when the wing is coming in over the stern. "Stopped", "In Irons", or "In Stays" refers to heading directly into the wind the sails will stall and the yacht will stop. The fastest points of sail are usually when the boat is sailing on Close Beam and Broad Reaches.  |
