HELP CREATE THE NEXT GENERATION OF BOATERS B

OAT BUILDERS, BROKERS, fishing

equipment manufacturers, accessory makers, marinas and anyone else with a vested interest in the boating economy are concerned about the future of boating, and rightly so. The concern isn’t necessarily where the industry is now, but rather where it’s headed. What does the next generation of boat owners look like, and how do we go about getting them boffo about boating, crazy about cruising and fanatical about fishing? Organizations such and the National Marine Manufacturers Association, Discover Boating and Let’s Go Fishing are doing their part through programs aimed at getting families on the water or getting boat owners connected with non-boaters for outings on the water. What really needs to happen, though, is boat owners need to take young people boating. Whether

it’s their own children or other people’s kids, getting young people on the water is the key. That’s partly what makes our cruising story this month, starting on page 16, so interesting. A father who has spent his life on the water saw an opportunity to take his 10-year-old daughter on a cruise from San Diego to Cabo, and he took it. Before life, excuses or teenage ennui could torpedo his vision of a father-daughter cruise, he made it happen. And the experience will stay with her the rest of her life. Dolphins, whales and sea turtles up close? Check. Bioluminescence in the water at night? Check. Driving the boat on the biggest body of water on planet Earth? Check. Helping catch dinner. Check. How do you think her spring break stories measure up against her friends’ tales of amusement parks or beaches? “It’s a Small World.” “It’s a gigantic ocean.” “I saw a dolphin from the beach.” “I could almost touch them off the bow of the boat.” You get the idea. The season is still in high gear, so there’s no time like the present to get the next generation of boaters hooked on life on the water. You probably don’t need to go from San Diego to Cabo to make in impression, but that give you something to aspire to.

THE BEAUTY OF A CARVER YACHT IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP. A lot of boats at the dock are all glitz and glamour. But how well do they perform when the going gets rough? All that pizazz is small comfort when you’re bouncing off the wave tops or wallowing in the troughs. At Carver, we’ve been building boats for more than 60 years that can handle the roughest water on the planet—the Great Lakes. Unlike salt water, fresh water is hard. Rock hard. And those waves can be steep and breaking. That means you take it on the chin, one wave after another in rapid succession. So we support our hulls with an extraordinary stringer system that reinforces the bow as much as the hull bottom. It’s not glamorous, but you’ll be glad of it the ﬁrst time it’s blowing hard out at sea. No wonder Carver Yachts is taking the marine industry by storm. Sea trial one at your Carver Yachts dealer soon.

Stringers extend up the bow to prevent “oil canning” and reduce vibration in the hull when running into head seas.

The entire interior of the hull is coated with a white epoxy paint for easier maintenance and service.

Molded stringers are created using multiple layers of fiberglassengineered fabric for lighter weight, superior strength and resistance to water damage. Extra reinforcement in key areas provides rigid structural support for engines and generators.

LEAD BOAT // Hodgdon 10.5 Meter Limo Tender

A TENDER THAT’S ’MO Hodgdon Yachts celebrates 200 years with a limousine tender that is sure to turn heads.

ts builder calls it a superyacht tender — a custom limousine tender, to be precise — but this ain’t the typical dinghy. Hodgdon Yachts’ 10.5 Meter Limousine Tender is a 34-and-a-half-foot beauty that earns the limo designation with its exterior looks — a striking customer-chosen paint scheme, smoky windows and custom hardware — and its interior accommodations, which are accented by high-end leather and specialty wood veneers.

Sleek and low to the water, the tender has port and starboard boarding access and seating for 11 people in a limo-like setting. The salon hardtop opens hydraulically for boarding and so guests can stand and stick their head up through the top like in an automobile limo, for 360-degree views. Of course, the interior is climate controlled and includes a wet bar and a refrigerator, and an entertainment system with a high-definition TV. It is a limo, after all.

TALK ABOUT THE RIGHT PLACE at the right time. Shannon Dann is a large tug that was transporting NASA’s enormous space shuttle external tank (ET) from New Orleans to California, where the tank is to be put on display at the California Science Center with space shuttle Endeavour. During the ET’s journey, according to media outlets, the tug and crew rescued four unlucky fishermen who were stranded after their fishing boat, Maximus, sank off the coast of Baja California. Lucky for them, Shannon Dann’s crew spotted them in the water, picked them up and brought them safely ashore.

diesel, which pushes the vessel to 35 knots. Aft is a large cockpit and a swim platform, both of which provide plenty of room for soaking in the sun with friends while the boat swings on the hook or crawls through a harbor. Now, since it’s designed as a tender, it has no head, so extended cruises might be difficult, but a day in the harbor or a trip to a nearby island is likely within its wheelhouse. Hodgdon has been building boats for 200 years, making it America’s oldest boat builder, so one can expect the fit and finish to be impeccable and standards to be high.

Johan Huibers built a full-sized replica of the biblical ark as a religious attraction, and now he is partnering with The Ark of Noah Foundation (arkofnoah.org) to raise money to fund a 5,000-mile trip across the Atlantic Ocean. The ark will visit the 2016 Olympic Games, and from there it will visit many other harbors on its journey through South, Central, and North America.

The legitimate folks among them named many of the bays, rivers, coves, islands and other landmarks boaters recognize. Can you match the explorer with the feature he named? A. Monterey Bay B. Farallon Islands C. Columbia River D. Point Dume E. Orcas Island

Redigested Ale IN RECENT YEARS, UNIQUE INGREDIENTS have been

popular in small-batch craft beers. Moby Dick Ambergris Ale has quite possibly the most unusual ingredient: ambergris. The weird brew by Australian brewers Maris and Kristi Biezaitis debuted at the Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular (GABS). What is ambergis? Commonly incorrectly referred to as whale vomit, it’s a solid, waxy, flammable substance produced in the digestive system of sperm whales. It was prized for its use in perfumes because it allowed the scent to last longer. According to the brewers, it gave Ambergris Ale a sweet, earthy, marine and animalistic aroma.

THE SEA OF CORTEZ HAS MANY CRUISING GROUNDS. HERE ARE THREE OF THE BEST.

URING AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER, boaters who are summering over in the Sea of Cortez might be migrating slowly north to explore some summer cruising grounds. Look no further than three colorful gems: Agua Verde, San Juanico, Santa Barbara. While these three overnight anchorages are not hurricane holes, they are conveniently located along that route on the Baja side of the Sea of Cortez.

AGUA VERDE Instead of “green water,” the term “aguaverde” translates as the color “turquoise” or “bluegreen.” All those terms apply to Bahia Agua Verde’s crystalline blue-green waters. Cliffs of russet sandstone wrap around the three-lobed bay like the swirling skirts of La Giganta, the mountain range that towers 1,400 feet high in the background. Bahia Agua Verde is about 93 nautical miles up the coast from La Paz and 22 miles southeast from Puerto Escondido. Fuel, marinas and boatyard services are at both ends of the 115-mile route, but nothing is in between. It’s one of the most pristine and undeveloped stretches in Mexico. Arrive with fuel, water and food. Rocas San Marcial — a mile-wide patch of rocks awash just off Punta San Marcial, with a lighted islet in the middle — will make you pay attention to your depthsounder when you approach Agua Verde from the south or east. The magnificent pinnacle of Roca Solitaria greets boaters on the north approach. Agua Verde Bay is only about three-quarters-of-a-mile wide, and it’s open to the northeast. The bay’s three adjacent lobes offer six places to anchor overnight, as long as the north wind isn’t blowing too strongly. During summer, the prevailing wind direction in the whole Sea of Cortez is from the south, and it’s usually just a light breeze.

The cliffs that surround Agua Verde’s south and west side provide excellent protection from light summer southerlies. However, when a really strong thunderstorm is brewing on the mainland coast (southern Sonora, northern Sinaloa), some swell might be felt all the way over here. Agua Verde Yacht Club is the most popular anchorage. The tongue-in-cheek moniker developed over the decades as cruising yachters chatted on VHF and planned where to rendezvous ashore, and this low beach is the easiest place to land dinghies. Sand spans both sides of the 250-foot-wide window between cliffs, so you can walk across and see out of this bay toward the northwest. Many bonfires and potlucks have been enjoyed on the beach dubbed Agua Verde Yacht Club. Residents are friendly to yatistas who visit the school and two little grocery stores. Pyramid Bight offers the most privacy, west of Pyramid Rock pinnacle. A meandering foot path leads pedestrians around the point near Pyramid Rock into the village. Take it at low tide, because at high tide the foot path is partly submerged. Puerto Vallarta

SAN JUANICO San Juanico Bay is a geological wonderland. Huge rock spires rise from Barra Navidad turquoise waters in two anchorages. Behind Manzanillo the beaches, fossilized paint pots dot the surface where red, black and white mud once bubbled. Crystals poke right out of the ground. But please, take only photos, not souvenirs. To dislodge or remove San Zihuatanejo Juanico’s fossils is to loot a natural treasure. San Juanico (labeled San Basilio on some older charts) is a two-mile-long bay about 60 miles up the Baja coast from Agua Verde, or 35 miles up from Puerto Escondido. It’s all anchorages and scenery, no village. The Spires anchorage in the north end is most popular; six or eight boats can tuck behind four towering rock spires — or even in between them. A shallow rock shelf reaches out from shore toward Isla Spires, forming a novice swim platform. Kayakers

put in here or at the seasonal lagoon next door. Be sure to bring a little memento to tie to the Cruisers’ Shrine on the beach, a bush that’s traditionally decorated with boaters’ notes and ornaments. Atop the bluff of Punta San Basilio are five posh, private residences, not hotels. The south end of San Juanico Bay contains three flat-topped reefs formed of black lava. They create natural breakwaters for the middle and southern anchorages, and they are spectacular fun for snorkeling off the beach or off your swimstep. Punta Mercenarios is the long point that forms the south arm of San Juanico Bay, and boats can anchor on either side. Locals told us rumor has it that Punta Mercenarios is black because it’s composed of uranium ore.

casual seasonal eateries. It’s two and a half miles north to Playa El Burro, where July 4 is celebrated at the ham radio shack of Baja Geary, the weatherman on the Sonrisa Net. Yatistas come for the hot dogs and beer and camaraderie. Or go three and a half miles up to Playa Santispac, which has a year-round population of RVs with elaborate palapas.

SANTA BARBARA Santa Barbara Cove is tucked 10 miles down inside Bahia Concepcion, a 22-mile-long bay that’s enclosed by a mountainous peninsula. It is about 75 miles up from Puerto Escondido and 50 miles down from Santa Rosalia — fuel and marinas at both ends. Santa Barbara Cove is part of the Coyote Bay region, which is incredibly popular with RVers because it’s so accessible from Highway One. But at the south end of Coyote Bay, only a narrow new gravel road leads from Highway One off across the cactus and lava rocks, before it drops down into Santa Barbara Cove, which is about a mile long and a quarter mile wide and shielded on the east by steep-sided Punta Santa Barbara. You can snorkel for scallops and oysters in the rocks along this eastern shore. A pretty blonde beach lines the cove’s south end, where boats anchor in 20-foot depths. In the view out the north entrance, six islands float above the tranquil waters of Coyote Bay. The cove’s low west side is a lush, green marsh fronted by soft, sandy shoals. Here, you can dig up dozens of butter clams with your toes. Peace and privacy are rewards for anchoring in Santa Barbara Cove, unlike the rest of Coyote Bay where Highway One runs close along shore and jetboats zoom around from sunrise to sunset. But if you want to dine out, take the dinghy to some

Sophia Hears the Siren’s Song

A lifelong seafarer introduces his 10-year-old daughter to life on the sea during a San Diego-to-Cabo cruise.  BY ADAM JENKINS

WHEN I WAS YOUNG, nothing captured my attention

more than boats, and especially sailing boats. Originally from Port Townsend, Wash., a Pacific Northwest sailing and wood-boat mecca, I grew up with boats everywhere, and childhood maritime memories are strong to this day. I remember the briny mist coming off the water on a chilly September morning while we were anchored at Jones Island in the San Juan Islands; beating to weather aboard our family’s 26-foot sloop in Johnstone Strait; watching the bow spray keep the foredeck awash on a blustery summer day; catching rock crabs in a ring net off the stern; swimming in the cold waters off Port Ludlow.

Making Ready

There was much to do to prepare an oceangoing sailing boat, especially one that was idle for a few years. Nothing is worse for a boat that just resting on the mooring. We rove new halyards, changed the engine oil, bought spare parts, inspected the rigging and sails, fitted a new mainsail, serviced winches and installed a new set of battery banks. Sophia enjoyed outfitting the boat, and she asked good questions: Why did we have to do certain things to get the boat ready? What will it be like to sail at night? The time together was very special. The winter months flew by and soon we were only a week away from flying to San Diego to depart for Mexican waters. My longtime sailing buddy Tache Bentley joined us on the sail as crew. He met us at the dock with his sea bag, a tackle box and four fishing poles. Bentley and Sophia became fast friends, and I could see she was settling in very well. She took control of making sure the big bunk in the forepeak was arranged and shipshape for sleeping and lounging off watch. Her books and tablet were stowed in a secure spot where she could get to them. The crew spent the final day before departure provisioning the boat, topping off fuel and water, and just giving the whole boat a once-over to make sure we were ready. The first leg of our journey from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas was along the isolated coast on the Pacific side of the Baja peninsula, where there are few places for supplies. A skipper and crew can’t wait for things to be perfect or they will never leave their home waters; a sailing boat needs to cast off the lines and get underway. Things will sort themselves out.

The author and his daughter, Sophia, mark their arrival in Cabo, where the younger Jenkins was most interested in finding a good pizza after more than a week at sea.

Those early sailing adventures as a kid set me on a nautical course that has kept me in good stead my whole life. I am lucky to have made my living as a professional mariner on the ocean in some capacity ever since I was 18 years old. So when my daughter, Sophia, came into this world, I knew I wanted to pass on this family tradition of boats and the ocean and make it a part of her life. When Sophia was 16 months old, I delivered a large motoryacht (yachtlogic. com) from Seattle to Sitka, Alaska. It was her first passage and was a great trip, but I think very little of the delivery made any impression on her at that age. Other trips when she was young included crossing to Catalina Island and day sailing on San Diego Bay. We moved to Denver when she was two years old, and our sailing adventures were reduced to short trips a couple

of times a year. Our sailboat, Saint Brendan, a 34-foot Tartan 34C, was spending most the time on its mooring in America’s Cup Harbor on San Diego Bay. Life in Denver is great, but it is far from the ocean and sailing, and we miss both very much. The years passed and suddenly Sophia was going to be 10 years old, so I decided we needed to prepare the boat and set off on a new sailing adventure — one that took us to another country and allowed us time together at sea. We would have to stand watch and live 24 hours a day on the boat, giving my daughter an opportunity to experience the cruising lifestyle. We set our departure date for March 26, 2016, and flew to the boat every couple of months over the winter for a week to work on Saint Brendan and get it ready for our Mexico cruise from San Diego to Guaymas.

Cast Off

The morning of March 26 was calm and sunny with a slight early spring chill in the air as we motored south past Point Loma. The first day and night the weather was peaceful, and we motor-sailed into Mexican waters, our autopilot “Betty” doing all the steering.

18 SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2016

7/1/16 9:02 AM

Sophia takes her turn at the helm, having received lessons in reading a nautical chart and fixing one’s position by dead reckoning.

The first couple of days of any cruise are the time to get one’s sea legs, stow any loose gear and settle in to the routine of being at sea, cooking meals and standing watches. From the start, Sophia spent hours on the bow singing to herself and looking out for dolphins and whales. I can only imagine what her thoughts entailed. Bentley showed Sophia how to tie on a tuna lure, and I had her practice steering a compass course, to give Betty a little break from time to time. Bentley

and I took all the watches, and Sophia kept us company, talking about the stars at night and what she would do if she saw a shark. She was worried about getting seasick, and I told her even the saltiest of sailors get seasick. She still chose to take a motion-sickness pill just in case as she climbed into the forepeak bunk and went to sleep. Bentley hooked a nice tuna the morning of our second day, and we ate ceviche with tortilla chips for lunch. Sophia enjoyed

the daily routine on the boat, helping with fishing and keeping the main salon in order. On the morning of the third day at sea, a fresh breeze came up from the northwest, and soon the engine was off and we were finally under full sail. Saint Brendan had a sweet, seakindly motion as we scudded along at 6 knots; we enjoyed a great sail the rest of the way to Turtle Bay, our first stop along the Baja coast. Over the winter in Denver, many of our SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2016 19

But I wanted Sophia to begin her sailing education with the traditions of old-school navigation. A prudent navigator should have a solid foundation in the methods of using a pair of dividers and a set of parallel rulers, along with the boat’s speed, time and distance.

Onward

Our next stop along the Pacific side of the Baja peninsula was Bahia Santa Maria, a big, beautiful bay just north of Bahia Magdalena. The breeze had freshened by the second day at sea from Turtle Bay, and soon we had a reef in the mainsail and a small jib hanked on the forestay. Sophia felt a little seasick and tucked herself in her bunk with her books, the laptop computer and a couple of good movies to watch. As the weather continued to turn unfavorable, I was happy to see how she quickly adapted to the changes in the boat’s motion as she moved belowdecks. She used the handholds and was careful to have “a hand for herself and a hand for the boat.” When I checked on her at sunset, she smiled and asked how things were on deck? I told her we were in for a night of heavy wind. With the sun going down in the west, we had 40 to 45 knots of breeze from the north-northwest. I carefully worked my way onto the pitching foredeck and made sure the jerry jugs and the genoa furled on the bow were all secure for the night. Huge breaking seas were building and chasing us from astern, and the helm needed our total concentration as we surfed down the big seas — we reached 9 to 10 knots from time to time. By the time Bentley and I changed watch at midnight, the phosphorescence was really putting on a show; the white tops of the waves were blown off by the strong breeze spraying bioluminescence out and down the waves. Saint Brendan was running before the wind under only the reefed main and navigating the seaway like the champ it is. I turned the helm over to Bentley and climbed into the big bunk in the bow with Sophia. She was fast asleep, neither the heavy weather nor the

bedtime discussions were about Mexico and sailing to the Sea of Cortez. I told Sophia about the beautiful anchorages and the warm, clear waters the crew of a cruising yacht can find in Mexico. Unfortunately, Turtle Bay is not such a locale. The town of Bahia Tortugas (Turtle Bay) has a population of approximately 2,500 hardy folk, and the dusty natural harbor is extremely well protected.

By morning Bentley had fresh coffee on the stove in the galley, we were enjoying a much improved sea state — the wind had dropped to a steady 20 knots — and we had a good breakfast of scrambled eggs, chorizo and tortillas. The bold headland of Cabo San Lazaro was coming over the horizon, which fixed our position north of Bahia Santa Maria. Sophia was up and feeling energetic. She came on deck with the binoculars and looked for sea life from the bow; she logged in her journal that we sighted two sea turtles, a pod of spinner dolphins and a pair of whales that we could not identify as we approached the anchorage.

Second Stop

Making our way into Bahia Santa Maria, we passed three Mexican pangas — the ubiquitous workboats of Mexican mariners — and their crew fishing near shore. Pangas normally operate straight off the beach. Their large bow works great for hauling pots, nets and tourists. Mexican fishermen run long distances offshore to fish; these 22-foot boats are very seaworthy and are capable of speeds in excess of 35 knots. Pangas can be found throughout the developing world, including Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and even Africa, where the panga is prevalent as the attack boat for Somali pirates. After 24 hours in her bunk, Sophia was

more than ready to go ashore to explore the beach and stretch her legs. Bentley soon had the dinghy over the side, loaded with fishing poles and a bucket for shells, and the two of them headed to the beach. I attempted to clean the boat up a bit. After an hour, I looked through the binoculars and saw them making their way back to the boat, Sophia with a huge smile on her face. No sooner had they come alongside Saint Brendan than she yelled at the top of her voice, “Daddy, we rolled the dinghy! It was so much fun…” Bentley smiled and explained the surf break got the best of them when the outboard did not start on the first pull and a large breaker caught them broadside — over they went, sending both into the surf. Sophia was ready to go back and do it again! SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2016 21

Last Leg

Early the next morning, the cold oceanic California Current created a low-level marine fog near the coast, obscuring the California cordillera that runs down the Baja peninsula. A steady 10-knot breeze filled in by mid-morning and slowly blew the fog away. We set full sail — hauling out of the lazarette our big blue-and-white asymmetrical spinnaker — knowing the infamous tourist hub of Cabo San Lucas lay an overnight sail to the south. In 1535, when Hernan Cortes sailed three galleons into the tranquil bay at lands’ end, the lure of Los Cabos began for Europeans. It was during the same era that Spanish merchant marine interests established a trade route from Luzon in the Philippines to Acapulco in the south of New Spain. After months at sea, their first sight of land and a fresh water estuary was in the Los Cabos area. English pirate ships lay in wait for them in coves and caves along the coast, which made the tip of Baja a place for exploits from early in the Age of Discovery. The distance from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas (Los Cabos) is approximately

Saint Brendan and crew fetched Los Cabos in the afternoon of April 3 after nine days of traveling. The Pacific Ocean had been kind to us all in all, and we had no serious mechanical or rigging issues to report. The crew was ready to explore the resort city on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, which is known for its beaches, big-game fishermen, water-based activities and stimulating nightlife.

or anything else in regard to the cruising lifestyle. But as she stood at the bow of Saint Brendan, with the famous El Arco de Cabo San Lucas coming into view, she said, “How long until I get my pizza, daddy?” I knew then it was time for us to put into port. Saint Brendan now secure to the dock for a few days, we walked up the dock to find a tasty pizza with all the toppings. Sophia was in heaven: people everywhere, so much to see and explore, the colors, the food and culture.

Sophia had to leave Saint Brendan in Cabo, because her spring break was coming to an end and she needed to go back to school. My mother had flown to Cabo to fly with Sophia back to Denver. Bentley and I continued into the Sea of Cortez and on to Guaymas, where I was going to haul out the boat and do a much needed refit. Then, once Saint Brendan is back in ship shape, we are going to return to explore the wonders of the Sea of Cortez. The sailing adventures for Saint Brendan and Sophia are just beginning.

A typical powerboat of less than 65 feet underway at night or in reduced visibility would require side lights, a masthead light and a stern light.

T’S A NO-BRAINER that proper navigational lighting is crucial for safe and legal operation at night or during times of reduced visibility. So why do so many vessels I inspect as a marine surveyor fail to comply with mandated navigational lighting requirements? I’d estimate the number is as high as 30 percent (or more), which is an appalling rate when it comes to safety-related equipment. Imagine if your life jackets or fire extinguishers only worked 70 percent of time when they were needed. Many problems I see are maintenance or owner-induced issues — burned-out bulbs, broken wires, blocked lights — but an alarming number are improper installations by the manufacturer. It appears many builders either do not have a good understanding of the navigation rules governing installations or they shoot for (and miss) the bare minimum requirements, often at the expense of the end user. Regardless of what the manufacturer did (or didn’t) do, it’s imperative to remember that when it comes to navigational lighting, it’s an owner’s responsibility to ensure his boat complies with the rules. Here’s how to make sure your boat is ready for the nightlife.

KNOW YOUR NAV LIGHTS

GET FAMILIAR WITH THE “RULES OF THE ROAD,” AND MAKE SURE YOUR LIGHTS MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. BY CAPT. FRANK LANIER

All boats must have the ability to display required navigation lights while operating at night and during times of reduced or restricted visibility such as fog or heavy rain. Vessels 16 feet in length or greater must have properly installed navigation lights and an anchor light, which must be operable separate from the running lights. Required navigation light configurations are based on a number of factors, such as a vessel’s length, method of propulsion or any special activity it’s engaged in, such as trawling or towing. The type, arc and color of navigation lights allow boaters to determine a vessel’s size, propulsion, whether it’s anchored or moving, and, if it’s moving, its course. For example, if you look over your bow and see a red light followed

DOWNSIDE OF DECORATION

Boat owners just love lots of pretty lights, but by rule decorative light installations can’t be mistaken for navigation lights and they cannot impair the visibility or the distinctive character of approved and properly placed navigation lights. They also can’t interfere with the ability to maintain a proper lookout. Haphazard installation of additional lighting must be avoided and violations (resulting in fines or worse) can be cited if the mood lights installed on your rig can be construed as a light required by the Rules for another vessel. For example, blue underwater LED lights can appear to flash if wave action is present, giving the appearance of a flashing blue light that only law enforcement vessels are authorized to use.

by a white light, you can assume the boat is crossing your path from starboard to port and, depending on distance, that it has the right of way. A single white light visible 360 degrees, on the other hand, indicates an

It’s an owner’s responsibility to ensure his boat complies with the rules. anchored vessel. The first step in determining if your vessel is compliant is to consult a copy of U.S. Coast Guard COMDTINST M16672.2D, aka the “Rules of the Road.” You can purchase a copy or view it for free online at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pdf/ navrules/navrules.pdf.

INSPECTIONS Once you’ve consulted the Rules of the Road and determined your navigation lights meet the requirements, next up is a physical inspection to make sure they’re installed and operating properly. Start by turning on your running lights and then your anchor light, verifying in turn that each powers up and meets the visibility requirements mentioned in the Rules of the Road. Look for issues such as the placement of equipment (e.g., dinghies, fenders) that could block visibility, burned-out bulbs and poor lighting installations. A good example

of the latter would be a masthead light that effectively blinds a skipper who’s operating the vessel from the upper helm or flybridge. Assume nothing and keep your eyes open for the unexpected, such as side light lenses (red port, green starboard) that are reversed — a problem I’ve seen after lights have been replaced by well-meaning owners. Sailboat owners may find it easier to verify the operation of mast-mounted navigation and anchor lights at night from the dock, when they’re more easily visible. Next, take a good look at the lights themselves. Are they burning brightly

or are they dim? Dimness can be caused by UV damage or “frosting” of the lens, installation of the wrong type of bulb, or a poor quality light. Dirty lenses or corroded electrical contacts and switches can also cause problems. Distance visibility — how far navigational lights can be seen — is crucial and can easily be a case where meeting the letter of the law doesn’t necessarily mean the spirit of the law has been satisfied. I’ve seen installations that meet the minimum requirements under perfect conditions — clear weather, minimal wave action — but

BY THE NUMBERS

t’s beyond the scope of this article to list every possible configuration or variation. By way of example, however, a typical powerboat of less than 65 feet underway at night or in reduced visibility would require side lights, a masthead light and a stern light. The side lights consist of a green light to starboard and a red light to port, both of which show an unbroken light over an arc of the horizon (or sector) of 112.5 degrees visible from dead ahead to 112.5 degrees abaft the beam on each respective side. The masthead light is a forward-facing white light on the vessel’s fore and aft centerline showing an unbroken arc of 225 degrees and fixed to show the light from dead ahead to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam on either side of the vessel. The stern light, also a white light, must be visible from dead astern for an arc of 135 degrees (67.5 degrees on either side of centerline). You’ll notice that adding the arc of visibility of the masthead and stern light yields 360 degrees, which is what they’re shooting for coverage-wise. Vessels less than 39.4 feet in length have the option of exhibiting a single 360-degree white light in lieu of a separate masthead and stern light. Finally, vessels anchored at night or in reduced visibility are required to display a single all-around white light visible for 360 degrees. To continue with our previous example (a powerboat under 65 feet in length), the masthead light must be visible for three miles, while the side lights and stern light must be visible for two miles. For vessels less than 12 meters (39.4 feet) in length, required visibility of the masthead light is two miles and one mile for the side lights. SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2016 27

THEEXPERTS fail miserably in less-than-ideal conditions, the very times a boat needs to be seen most. Problems range from poor location of the navigation lights (flush-mounted sidelights in the hull below the rubrail are a good example of this) to the lights themselves, which are often too small or simply pieces of junk. Don’t be afraid to relocate

factory-installed navigation lights to better comply with the requirements or replace them with brighter, more robust units. LED (light-emitting diode) fixtures have become a popular choice in recent years due to advantages such as longer life (up to 100,000 hours in some cases), less power consumption, sealed construction (eliminating corrosion) and non-susceptibility

to damage from shock or vibration. Do not, however, simply swap your incandescent navigation light bulbs with LED replacements. Navigation light fixtures are approved for use as a unit (i.e., bulb and fixture together), so simply swapping out the bulb of your current fixture does not mean the new combination will comply. Once you’ve verified everything is in good working order, record the types of bulbs required for all navigation lights and ensure you have plenty of spares on board. Finally, include a check on the operation of all navigation lights as part of a pre-departure checklist. It only takes a moment, and you’ll be doing yourself (and everyone else on the water) a favor.

FOR THE BIRDS BY GRID MICHAL

Q I have a 33-foot Triton with twin 250 Suzuki four-strokes. I can’t precisely tell from in the boat, but when the boat is out of the water, I can definitely see the engines are kind of “pigeon-toed,” looking at them from behind the stern. Is this right? I thought they were supposed to be straight. Greg, via SeaMagazine.com

“Pigeon-toed” is a correct position, and a great description anyone can understand. In that position, both engines can get “clean” water in turns, and the props won’t make one engine draw water away from the other in normal operation. From some years back, there was a boat powered by twin V-6 OMCs. The starboard engine, I think, was constantly destroying regulator/rectifiers. The moment of death each time was noted when the tach and voltmeter quit working. The dealer replaced several rectifiers before he went for a ride and noticed the starboard engine would start to lose water pressure once on plane. He checked the pump, which was fine. Then he realized the port (left-hand rotation) prop was pulling water from the starboard engine, which began to heat and lose the cooling for the watercooled rectifier, which promptly croaked. He aligned the engines the way they should have been installed (pigeon-toed), and the owner never had another problem. 28 SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2016

TRYING TO MAKE IT BETTER WHAT A DAY YESTERDAY. IT all started with the results of being stuck in two

engine wells on two consecutive days changing fuel systems and tilt motors. I was leaving a job that was thankfully on a trailer when I had a muscle spasm in my thigh so bad I was dropped to the gravel. I ended up looking like a losing hockey team’s rookie goalie, leaking B-negative all over. I made it home, The Nurse cleaned me up, I called and canceled the rest of the day’s work (one of two non-rainy days in a month, and I can’t handle it?!), and I eased into the computer chair to see how the intelligent world was doing. My new book, “Boneheads and a Bully Pulpit,” had been released hours previously, and already there was a note from an ex asking me to send her a free one and a note from one of the kids pointing out grammatical errors. I told the ex she had all my money and could afford to spring for a copy. I told my daughter for $3.99 she could be occupied for hours finding errors. But thanks for buying it! Then I noticed that my previous book had some reviews that I wasn’t aware of. Two were from folks who were learning from the book. The third was this comment: “Don’t waste your money.” I think that brought me from five stars to a small asteroid. I emailed the writer and asked him to tell me how much he paid, so I could send him a check. So far, no reply. That one statement, though, got me to thinking: I’d given a couple of the pamphlets we wrote about routine maintenance to a new customer, and he sent me an email saying he could have done better. I asked him what he’d do to make them better, so folks could take advantage of his knowledge. Again, no reply. I have no problem with either of those statements. The problem is that I don’t get to improve what I’m doing with nothing more than acerbic comments to which to refer. I think social media has a lot to do with that, giving normally bright people a forum where they can anonymously vent their emotions. “Rode in an X boat with a Y engine yesterday, salesman didn’t have a clue what he was doing. I should have been selling him the boat! What a bunch of idiots at ABC Marine!” Who does that help? Generously, let’s say only the writer, who gets to lower his blood pressure. I know I’m not formally educated, and

some of my columns leave a lot to be desired with content arrangement. But patience has paid off: a marvelous creative writing professor, retired, has offered to help me write better. She knows nada about boats or engines, but she knows how to properly say what needs to be said, and I look forward to your constructive criticism down the road.

NORDHAVN

59 COASTAL PILOT A DIFFERENT CONCEPT FROM NORDHAVN DELIVERS COASTAL RANGE AND TWICE THE SPEED.

UR SPEED INDICATOR is fluctuating between 20.5 knots and 21.5 knots, perhaps even touching 21.8 on a trip down the four-foot swell, with the engines at wide-open throttle. For many yachts, such a speed might represent a nice, leisurely cruising pace, but I am on a Nordhavn, so this is fast. We are roughly doubling the top speed of other Nordhavns.

The 59 Coastal Pilot is something new and different from the folks at Nordhavn, a concept that took nearly two and a half years to see through from drawing board to finished product. It’s a semi-displacement hull meant to deliver a respectable top speed while holding on to the builder’s roots as a purveyor of long-range cruising yachts. While the 59 CP isn’t going to be an

The cruising grounds from Central America to Alaska would be easy to tackle in what Nordhavn is referring to as a continental cruiser. Eric Leishman and Garrett Severen, both of the Nordhavn Southwest office — the former a sales rep and the latter a

TESTER’S OPINION

project manager — told me the 59 CP is for boaters who can’t get their head around full displacement. They’re more interested in coastal cruising than crossing to Hawaii or the South Pacific, but they’re definitely interested in going places.

PERFORMANCE The Nordhavn crew invited a few marine journalists to a media preview a couple of weeks before our sea trial, and it was while we were underway with a group of 15 people that something unusual occurred. We felt a sudden rush forward from a trawler-like speed, and suddenly we were talking about acceleration on a Nordhavn. I took that thought with me to the sea trial. Thanks to the Cummins QSM11 diesels, each packing 715 hp, the 59 CP’s climb up the speed spectrum was smooth, quiet and flat. The bow came up very little, which kept our view forward mostly unobstructed, and the ABT fin stabilizers kept the side-to-side motion to a minimum. With full water and 600 gallons of fuel, the boat came on plane somewhere between 14 and 15 knots, and the semi-displacement hull was able to maintain plane down to

just under 13 knots. We pulled hard-over turns at various speeds, and at no time did the yacht lean out in protest. It maintained a flat turning posture all the way through, and the turn was definitely within the boat’s own length. Tight maneuvering shouldn’t be a problem. Out on the open water, the 59 CP can give its owner a wide variety of ranges. As I already indicated, even with about a 10 percent reserve, the yacht can go 1,000 miles at 8.5 knots. At 10.5 knots, range is just more than 709 miles, factoring in the 14.8 gph fuel burn. At about 14 knots, which is pretty much where the boat jumps on plane, range is 340 miles with a 41.5 gph fuel burn. At between 16.5 and 17 knots,

roughly 2000 rpm or 70 percent load, which Leishman called a fast cruise, range is a little more than 300 miles. Top speed, between 20 and 21 knots, results in a fuel burn of 77 gph at 2500 rpm, which brings the range down to 260 miles. So depending on an owner’s timeline and tolerance for fuel burn, a trip can be made quickly with more stops or slowly with potentially no stops. A point of pride for the Nordhavn crew is the yacht’s engine room, which is accessed via a door on the port side of the cockpit. It’s a roomy, well-laid-out, maintenance-friendly space, with room for most human beings to stand and clear pathways around the machinery, and thanks to a big hatch in the aft deck, anything that needs to be lifted out of the space can be handled without tearing up any of the living spaces. Contortionism won’t be required to reach usually inaccessible parts and equipment. The room is aft of the living space and is separated from the master stateroom by two structural bulkheads, individually insulated, and the fiberglass fuel tank, which is bonded to the bulkheads and the hull.

GREAT OUTDOORS One advantage to cruising the West Coast is that the weather is amenable to being outside — maybe a little less in the Pacific Northwest, but when the weather is nice up there, it is glorious. So it’s natural a yacht built by a West Coast company would have outdoor space that people will want to use. Starting at the top, the flybridge is an open but Bimini-covered social space. The doublewide helm seat shares a backrest with an identical seat that faces aft, which shares a table with three portable wooden chairs. The helm includes two multifunction displays, engine displays, thruster controls, a VHF and more. To either side of the helm seat is a three- or four-person bench settee. Depending on the coziness factor, up to 15 people could find a seat on the flybridge, where the views are spectacular all around. Aft of all the seating is a davit and room for a dinghy. The lower aft deck is fully covered by the flybridge deck and includes a wooden table that can accommodate two people, four people or fold down for storage.

Vents can be installed to direct warm or cool air to the aft deck, for climate-controlled meals and gatherings. Stairs to starboard lead down to the cockpit — a strong fishing spot — and swim platform. Optionally, an owner can eschew the cockpit, extend the aft deck to the swim platform, and extend the salon about four feet into the aft deck, turning the Coastal Pilot into a motoryacht.

MAIN DECK One thing Nordhavn designers did once it was decided the 59 would be a coastal cruiser was change their thinking from a pilothouse layout to more of an in-cabin helm. The reasoning was that since overnight, offshore passages were probably

going to be the exception with this yacht instead of the rule, a separate space for the watch-stander wasn’t vital. That doesn’t mean they skimped on the helm station, though. Two large Furuno MFDs anchor a console that includes thruster and tab controls, an Icom VHF and, of course, the engine throttles. A variety of other gauges and displays are overhead. A side door immediately aft of the doublewide helm seat allows for easy and quick access to the sidedeck. To port of the helm is an L-shaped settee with room for four people, and aft of the helm is a dinette settee. A flat-screen TV is mounted to the divider between the galley and the port settee; it swings out and around, so everyone can see it. For meals during daylong passages, cruises through the harbor or happy hour gatherings, the galley, directly across from

On hull #1, the master stateroom is amidships and stretches across the 17-foot beam. It is accessed via a staircase that is immediately inside the door to the aft deck, but the steps are pretty steep and not very wide — at least not for my size-15 feet. Leishman mentioned that Nordhavn customers had noticed the same thing, and that the builder has a plan moving forward to keep the owner’s area separate but move its access point to the main belowdecks access by the helm, which will add a little more space to the stateroom. Our test boat had the three-stateroom configuration, which includes a sizeable VIP stateroom in the bow and an interesting three-berth guest stateroom forward of the owner’s space. To port is a twin berth with a single bunk above, and to starboard is a single elevated bunk. Between is a bureau and mirror. This room can be eliminated completely in the two-stateroom layout, increasing the size of the owner’s head significantly and adding a seating area to the stateroom. Whether a two- or three-stateroom layout, the yacht includes two heads. Both include a sink and a quiet Tecma toilet. The owner’s includes more storage space and a larger shower stall with a seat and shelves for toiletries. Nordhavn took a chance by expanding its focus to include a boat such as the 59 Coastal Pilot, but this isn’t the builder’s first foray outside the full-displacement arena. It built a smaller 35-foot version of the Coastal Pilot previously, and it is the builder of the Toro, a 60-foot flybridge fishing yacht with a 30 knot top speed, so speed isn’t totally foreign to Jim and Jeff Leishman, Dan Streech and crew. They’re just more moderate in its application. The Coastal Pilot will likely appeal to buyers less consumed by the need for speed and more concerned with speed as needed.

GALEON 445 HTS

A POLISH BUILDER LOOKS TO MAKE U.S. INROADS WITH A NATIONWIDE DISTRIBUTOR AND AN EXPRESS BOAT WITH FAMILY APPEAL.

ALEON YACHTS ISN’T a new boat builder. It’s been active in Europe since 1982, but American boaters probably aren’t very familiar with the company or its line of boats from 30 feet to 82 feet. That’s about to change. MarineMax is now the U.S. distributor for Galeon yachts, and the nationwide boat dealer has committed to 60 new Galeon vessels per year. At the moment, the arrangement seems to be working for both parties, as MarineMax has sold more than 30 of the Polish-built yachts in 2016 — and that’s with hardly any name recognition. And yachts destined for North America will be built with that in mind, so electrical, air conditioning, engines, generators and more will be known here and simple to have serviced.

Galeon has earned its reputation in Europe by handling almost everything in-house. The real wood cabinets and the teak decking are fabricated at the Galeon factory. All the metal parts — screws,

German boaters have noticed and reacted, making Galeon the number one brand there. American boaters will recognize the style Galeon is going for, especially with the 445 HTS we tested. It’s a sport cruiser or

express cruiser, however you want to label it. It’s going to compete with the likes of Sea Ray, Cruisers, Regal, Tiara, Prestige and others, and from what I saw during our sea trial, it’s going to hold its own.

DISAPPEARING ACT It’s difficult sometimes to start a written sea trial anywhere except the swim platform and work forward, but that’s what happening here. We’ll come back to the swim platform, because it’s worth a look, but we’re going to begin at the threshold. The 445 HTS is set up as a sport cruiser — HTS is short for Hard Top Sport — but one built-in and sometimes hidden feature turns it into an express-feeling boat with the touch of a button. I’ve seen this feature on a couple of other boats, but this version is probably the slickest. The glass door between the cockpit and the main cabin (Galeon calls it the sunroom) slides open

to port, and once it is in place, it and the window adjacent to it can be lowered with the push of a button, disappearing into the bottom half of the bulkhead. The entire operation takes only a few seconds and is whisper quiet thanks to the hydraulics. I was surprised by how quickly the entire apparatus raises and lowers. With the door and the windows lowered, the main deck becomes an unbroken space from the transom through the sunroom to the helm station, which is quickly becoming a favorite layout on this style of yacht. A C-shaped settee in the cockpit and another to port in the salon provide seating for about a dozen people, and the double helm seat accommodates two more. Windows

all around ensure everyone has a view, but the breeze isn’t reserved for the folks in the cockpit. Overhead is a large sunroof that opens about half of the hardtop, to bring the fresh air and sunshine inside. I am tall enough that I was able to stick my head up through the opening, like a dog in a car. A window to the side of the helm opens, too, so the main cabin really opens up and feels like an extension of the cockpit.

LET THERE BE LIGHT Belowdecks are two staterooms, two heads, a galley and a seating area with a TV. The master stateroom is situated amidships and spans the beam. It includes an en suite head with a shower stall, hanging lockers, a built-in bureau and a settee on the port side, under one of the big matching hull windows; the other is over the bureau. The VIP is in the bow and has private access to the second head, which has a curtain for the shower separation. The galley and salon share the landing at the bottom of the stairs from above. A C-shaped settee wraps around a table, for dining or games, and opposite that, to port,

is the L-shaped galley. Overhead cabinets match the shape of the Corian countertops, and the chef has use of a two-burner induction cooktop and a microwave oven. A grill is an option in the wet bar in the sunroom, for any fresh catch. What is notable and different about the lower deck is that each space has its own skylight. Above the forward berth, the galley/salon, the entry to the master and even the master head are glass skylights that let in the natural light. They of course have blinds that can be pulled to keep the light out. In the bow stateroom, the skylight is big — think double sunpad — and is crisscrossed by wood beams, giving it a pergola look. Different and cool.

PERFORMANCE With a fair amount of inward lean — thanks to the Volvo Penta IPS600 diesels coupled to pod drives — the Galeon 445 HTS attacked the hard-over turn at top speed with gusto, pulling a tighter and tighter circle while only bleeding off about two and a half knots of speed. The electronic steering made it easy to spin the wheel from lock to lock, so pulling a figureeight was simple to execute and is sure to thrill passengers of all ages. Buyers jonesing for a 40- or 50-knot boat will want to look elsewhere, as top speed for the 445 HTS is just more than 32 knots, at 32.3 on test day, but that’s plenty fast for most folks, and fuel burn at that speed is 44 gph, which is pretty good for a nearly 50-foot boat. The extreme range at that speed is about 232 miles (might want to take 10 percent off for a cushion). The sweet spot for cruising on the 445 seems to be from 3000 to 3250 rpm. Range at those speeds, 23.7 and 27.6 knots respectively, is 242 miles (again, subtract about 10 percent to be safe). That’s an hour or less to Catalina from Newport or Long Beach. The 445 jumped on plane between 15 and 16 knots, and fuel efficiency stayed consistent from 20 knots to 29 knots, and it only dropped slightly in the top 250 rpm, which can be attributed to smart hull design and Volvo Penta’s engineering. With the sunroof and side window open and the aft bulkhead lowered, Zaleski and I were able to hold a normal conversation at

cruise speed. We didn’t have to shout to be heard — except maybe when I had my head sticking through the sunroof opening. Try it sometime. I went belowdecks while we cruised along at 26 knots, and I found things to be quiet and smooth — not much wave action on the bay. At that speed, I could have prepared a snack in the galley or caught a nap on one of the berths. Nice ride.

BACKYARD BEACH Now for the feature adults and kids are going to like, but for different reasons: the swim platform. It is expansive and an easy way to board the boat from the dock. It has slots cut into its teak structure, for the optional chocks, and that’s important on this swim platform, because it’s hydraulic and can be lowered into the water a few feet. Passengers can sit on the platform at the waterline, or they can be partially submerged and use the platform as a home base for their swimming activities. And if someone needs to make a trip to the cockpit for a refreshment, there’s no need to raise the platform or for said person to make a contorted, stretching climb/leap to the boat. A built-in set of steps — think passarelle style — extends and contracts with the movement of the platform. These aren’t ladder rungs, but rather foot pads for sure footing. It’s a feature that might lead to a few wet swimsuits leaving trails of water to the head, but that’s a pretty good tradeoff for the safety and peace of mind it’s sure to offer. With a 660-pound lifting capacity and chocks, the platform can accommodate most appropriately sized dinghies and even a few entry-level PWCs, such as the Sea-Doo Spark and the Yamaha V1. And a decent-sized garage between the twin sets of stairs from the platform to the cockpit can hold lots of important stuff — life jackets, cushions, spare parts — but it can also accommodate water noodles, floating water toys and anything else that will keep the kids occupied for hours at a time.

And that’s really what this yacht is about: time on the water with as few or as many people as an owner desires. Yeah, if you were to slow down to about 8.5 knots, the range jumps to about 400 miles, making coastal hops a possibility, but that’s not its strength. A family will find the Galeon 445 HTS a good fit for a weekend on the hook at an island getaway. A couple will find the 445 HTS a great boat for hosting friends on

a harbor cruise for snacks and sunset cocktails, and it would be a big draw for their adult children with kids of their own: “Can we please go see grandpa and grandma this weekend?” Galeon may not have the name recognition in the U.S. yet, but with MarineMax bringing in a minimum of 60 new yachts per year, that’s bound to change. And you can say you knew them when. SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2016 37

HINCKLEY

TALARIA 34 RUNABOUT PAST AND PRESENT COALESCE IN A NEW RUNABOUT FROM A LONGTIME BUILDER.

LASSIC YACHTING MEETS contemporary styling, power and technology. Hinckley knows

a little something about building a classic-looking boat; heck, it knows a little something about building a classic boat, having been in the biz since 1928. Its designers took that heritage — sleek lines; handcrafting; the low, wraparound windshield — and combined it with the best of today to create a runabout with jet drives, a power Bimini, a joystick, touchpad control of all systems and a style that harkens back to a time when men cruised the harbor in bow ties. The 34-foot, 3-inch Talaria 34 Runabout includes a captain’s chair and a companion seat behind the windshield, and a U-shaped settee just aft, to facilitate good conversation and/or backseat driving. A sunpad at the stern can easily accommodate two tan-seekers, and if folks in the cockpit would rather keep the sun off them, a power Bimini rises from under teak covers to shade the space. A forward cabin with twin settees offers respite from the sun or a summer rain, and a head ensures the party can stay on the water all day. Passengers can even take a shower after a salty dip or a wakeboard set. Twin 320 hp Yanmar diesels coupled to

Alamarine 245 high-efficiency jet drives can push the 34R to 34 knots and cruise at 31. Hinckley’s JetStick II is all the captain needs to navigate with ease; well, that and a 12-inch multifuntion touchscreen display at the helm, along with classic gauges. With 640 hp, and the optional towing post, the 34R can be a watersports delivery system for the kids, and parents will rest easier knowing there isn’t any potential danger from spinning props, since jet drives provide the power. A Fusion stereo with four speakers and Bluetooth connectivity ensure tunes are available. It cannot, however, mitigate disputes about whose music will win the day.

Intro to Electronic Charts Don’t know a raster from a vector? Here’s the lowdown.

he search for a new chartplotter may seem complicated at times. If it helps, remember that no matter the navigational system, it will use electronic charts in basically the same way the rest of them do. With the help of GPS data, they automatically

plot and update the boat’s position and display it on a chartplotter, multifunction display, computer or mobile operating system (OS) device (such as smartphones and tablets). The link to each of these display options is the electronic charts themselves, which are produced by either raster scanning or vector digitizing paper charts provided by regional hydrographic entities — that’d be NOAA here in the U.S.

Most commercial chart suppliers license chart data from the same government agencies that produce paper charts, but the same charts are typically provided to the public for free. (NOAA alone offers more than 1,000 U.S. raster and vector charts.) Chart manufacturers often reformat the government-produced electronic charts to work on various chartplotting systems, many of which can also directly display the free, downloadable NOAA chart files. Both raster and vector formats are common and readily available, so selection often boils down to personal preference.

Raster Charts

WHAT THEY ARE: In layman’s terms, raster

navigational charts are essentially pictures or scans of the actual paper charts they represent. In fancy talk, they are geo-referenced digital images of navigational charts composed of pixels and displayed on an electronic screen. Virtually all navigation programs that utilize raster charts do so by joining separately scanned charts together into a single “quilted” electronic version. In many programs, zooming in allows users to drill down to a more detailed chart for that particular area. UPSIDE: All of the information provided on the scanned paper chart is retained, from individual depth soundings and buoy numbers to land features such as waterside town and street names. Many of the programs in use even show the chart numbers they were scanned from. Since raster charts are exact scans, they retain the visual look and “feel” of paper charts, which is a plus for many boaters — particularly skippers new to electronic charts, as the format seems more familiar and, therefore, “friendlier” to use. Friendly feelings aside, there is some truth to this in a more tangible sense.

Raster charts perfectly match the paper charts, so there’s no learning curve for paper chart users, and it’s easier to switch back and forth between a small-screen display and the “big-picture” view provided by large paper charts. DOWNSIDE: Raster chart file sizes are typically larger than vector ones and require more data storage. The amount of raster chart storage required for a particular region, for example, may well exceed that of vector charts for the entire country. Switching from one raster chart to another is not as seamless as with vector charts. Because the charts are scanned individually and then joined together, the transition between charts is not particularly smooth, when compared to the layered data of a vector chart. As such, once a user reaches the edge of a raster chart (or while zooming in or out), the program automatically jumps to another chart, which may have a different scale, depth or datum format — an occurrence some users may find disorienting. Finally, raster charts lack the ability to manipulate display data (e.g., configurable depth units, on/off map information layers) and other advanced functionality found in vector charts. Data — font size, for

example — is also fixed, meaning numbers and letters become larger as users zoom in and smaller when they zoom out, making the numbers and letters less readable at both extremes.

Vector Charts

WHAT THEY ARE: Vector charts pull from a

vector database of chart objects (e.g., depth soundings, navigational aids, shoreline) that is used to build a chart display on the ﬂy. All the objects and their details, such as position, color, size and shape, are stored in a database, allowing them to be selectively

assembled and displayed by a chartplotter. As a user zooms in, the information on display changes; however, unlike with a raster chart, it doesn’t just get larger (or smaller when you zoom out). The font for depth soundings, for example, will always be the same. A negative aspect of this, particularly for someone using the smaller screen of a smartphone to navigate, is that smaller, difficult-to-read text isn’t made any larger by zooming in. UPSIDE: On the plus side, vector charts have more user-interactive functionality, meaning there’s an option to increase the

Vector charts, again from Nobeltec, can also add shading.

charts, which can make them seem sterile or bland. To address this, many chart suppliers have spiced things up on the vector display scene by using newer fonts, more vibrant colors and improved imagery, all in an effort to bring them closer in appearance to paper charts.

Bottom Line

This raster vs. vector look comes from Furuno’s NavNet 3-D program.

size of that hard-to-read text. Depth soundings can also be displayed right side up regardless of chart orientation or direction of travel. With raster charts, if the boat is headed south and the plotter is in the “head up” position, the text will be upside down (just like when rotating a photo of the chart). This functionality extends to displayed objects, as well. With vector charts, users can customize the display’s colors and display or hide objects by type or category. Since the information is layered, the user can choose to display as little or as much data as needed, with no loss of image resolution. As previously mentioned, file sizes for vector charts are typically smaller than raster files, which allows more chart coverage data to be provided per storage device. Because less data is stored, vector charts also require less memory than raster charts, which translates to faster processing time for the display unit, a benefit most noticeable during screen redraw and the shift between charts. Finally, vector charts are more widely supported and used on a larger number and variety of chartplotters and displays than raster charts. DOWNSIDE: As for vector negatives, less information, on average, is presented than on raster charts. Those land features I mentioned — city names, streets — are rarely included. Boaters used to paper charts might find that disorienting. While this lack of information makes a vector display less cluttered, a chart that is zoomed out too far will lack the hazards or other important data that would be obvious to someone using a raster or paper chart. Additionally, some types of specific information (e.g., buoy data) do not appear on screen unless the user selects the item or moves a cursor over it. Such info is always present on a raster chart. Vector charts also lack the visual nuances of paper

Regardless of the system, vector or raster, look for the ability to display charts in a “course-up” position in addition to the standard “north-up” position, which makes it easier for most boaters to visualize vessel navigation and course changes, particularly when comparing chart and radar data. The number of routes and waypoints a system allows users to enter and store is important, too. While the typical weekend boater will find most systems more than adequate, long-distance cruisers will definitely want to know their system of choice can hold enough routes and waypoints. It’s always important to have the most up-to-date chart info, so be sure to find out what’s involved to update the charts. Update options vary between manufacturers — ranging from cartridge trade-in programs to internet updates — as do prices and availability. Many publishers are moving toward subscription services to update their marine charts. Raymarine offers quarterly updates on its Lighthouse charts, while Navionics offers them daily. All newer chartplotters use standard Secure Digital (SD) or micro-Secure Digital (microSD) data cards. With them, chart updates can often be downloaded on one’s personal computer. As mentioned earlier, the choice between raster and vector navigational charts for many users boils down to a matter of personal taste. Both options provide equal levels of accuracy and reliability and are widely available. Some chartplotters can use either format, which is a nice feature that gives buyers the choice of which to use. Most apps, however, can use only one, which forces buyers to decide on raster or vector before choosing the app. When deciding which format you prefer, listen politely to the salesperson extol the virtues of the one he’s hawking, but always ask to see it in action.

BUYING OR SELLING

SOLO Cutting out a broker’s commission is pennywise, but it can exact a high cost both emotionally and financially if the deal goes awry

M  BY DOUG THOMPSON

UCH LIKE WHEN IT comes to exploring the backside of a remote island in a single-screw boat, when it comes to buying or selling a yacht, only the foolish and naïve go it alone. The For Sale by Owner (FSBO) journey is fraught with horror stories, and purchasing a boat boat without a broker — also known as a yacht sales professional — is as perilous. Unless you are an expert or a glutton for punishment, eschewing a broker in the transition from buyer to owner — or seller to non-boat owner — probably isn’t worth it. Brokers offer assistance in areas that a single entity cannot match. Here’s a look at seven ways a broker is invaluable, and a few tales of woe about folks who tried to do it on their own.

BUYING OR SELLING

SOLO

INDECENT EXPOSURE An important tool in the brokerage arena is YachtWorld, which is akin to the real estate multiple listing services for houses. “The average person does not have access to the broker network,” said Gene Harkins, general manager of Orange Coast Yachts’ Seattle office. “When a boat is listed on YachtWorld, it’s literally available for every other broker and their customers. We are talking thousands of brokers. There is no way an individual could have the benefit of that kind of resource, either as a buyer or as a seller.” In addition to YachtWorld, brokers create marketing plans for sellers that both dovetail and complement all the other advertising a brokerage house does in magazines and online. “Most people go on their own because they want to save the 10 percent commission,” Harkins said. “So they advertise the boat on Craigslist and then don’t get any buyers or get people that are not qualified. However, as a brokerage we run ads in multiple magazines, and the more ads you run, the more attention you draw to your listings. An individual is not going to have that ability, or if they do, they are spending a ton of money on it.” YouTube and other video-streaming companies can show yachts in an entirely new light, which is a great marketing tool for buyers and sellers. Today’s technology increases the chance that a yacht for sale will be seen by the right buyer, or that you’ll find the yacht of your dreams.

Broker Associations Mean Business

ake sure the brokers you are considering are members of an association that has a strict code of ethics and standard business practices. A broker doesn’t have to be a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB), but that is becoming the gold standard in the industry.

THE PRICE ISN’T RIGHT Evaluating a yacht’s true worth is complicated and based on many factors, and brokers help immensely is pricing the yacht for sale. For example, one seller went on his own and priced the boat far below what similar boats were selling for in the same market, the idea being to eliminate the broker and cut that percentage out. However, when the boat didn’t sell and the seller finally had to use a listing broker, it was impossible to effectively raise the price to market level. “The public remembers the lower price,” said Bill King, manager and broker at Hampton Yacht Group in Newport Beach. “Mispricing the boat at first hurts them in a lot of ways, from negotiations all the way to actually selling the boat. They might not be able to get what they need or want when selling their boat.” Nearly every boat has a value, and the cost of repairs needs to be subtracted from that to establish a fair market. The trouble may not meet the reward at the end. There are buyers who specialize in flipping yachts — they are buying boats that are lemons, fixing them up, and then selling them for a profit. These are fixer-uppers, and the repairs will likely be well beyond what a layman can accomplish, so not getting emotionally attached to a boat early is important. If it smells like a lemon, you can walk away unscathed, or you may choose to recondition the boat and make it exactly what you want.

If it smells like a lemon, you can walk away unscathed.”

DEVILISH DETAILS The job of the broker is to make the transaction appear as seamless as possible, which means shielding the client from the ups and downs that go with a sale. “If we do our job right, the sale looks easy,” Harkins said. “The old saying is you don’t take the garbage to the customers. Our philosophy is to keep things simple.” The brokerage house is often the first point of contact, and how well the sale goes greatly depends on how well the broker performs.You can, however, enter into an agreement with a broker through a buyer’s broker arrangement. A buyer’s broker will represent you, not the seller. “The buyer’s broker is going to negotiate the best price, get the boat to closing and make sure the transfer of ownership and funds goes smoothly,” King said. “The broker is your

The CPYB program was created, and is endorsed by, the seven major yacht sales professional associations in North America: >> Yacht Brokers Association of

America >> Florida Yacht Brokers Association >> Northwest Yacht Brokers Association

>> California Yacht Brokers

Association >> Boating Ontario Dealer >> British Columbia Yacht

Brokers Association >> Gulf Coast Yacht Brokers

Association.

A broker who is a member of one of these associations provides the buyer or seller a process for filing grievances if necessary. A CPYB must be in the business full time for at least three years, pass a 151-question exam and take 30 hours of continuing education every three years to recertify.

advocate, and these days the taxation and insurance on a yacht transaction are complex.” Brokers can also help get you up to speed on a boat’s systems, once you own it. “There are some brands of diesel engines that have $15,000 service requirements,” King said. “These are things a broker will know and guide the customer through, rather than have the customer just walk in blindly and have a big bill they did not count on in their estimates.” GO-TO VENDORS The Yellow Pages are filled with listings for marine service professionals, but how do you know the good vendors from the bad ones? Sifting through Yelp and other consumer reviews can definitely help, but who has the time? Brokers can cut to the chase on whom to use. “We have our go-to people that do good work,” said Jerry Koch, office manager and sales professional at The Art Brooks Sea Co. in Newport Beach. “These are people that are straight shooters that are not going to take our clients for a ride, so we can save them quite a bit.” Because brokers are usually boat owners themselves,

they can assist in finding slip spaces, anchorages and qualified marine service technicians, and can even train you to run the boat. If you need a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain to help you learn the new systems, a broker can find you one.

These are people that are straight shooters that are not going to take our clients for a ride.”

DOES THE BUYER KNOW BEST? By flying solo, you’re on your own with negotiations and paperwork, which can be a monumental task in terms of time, and extremely costly if mistakes are made evaluating the boat. “When I know what a buyer is looking for, then I can use my sources and suggest the likely boats to go view, then negotiate a price and help with the paperwork,” Koch said. “Some people don’t want to see us make money from them. They don’t believe our services are worth what we charge.” Until things go awry. “Let’s say I have a client called Jack,” Koch said. “It’s the world according to Jack, because he doesn’t listen. He figures he knows better than everybody, and it’s cost him tens of thousands of dollars because he doesn’t listen.” Jack insisted on buying a boat with cosmetic and

mechanical issues. “We instructed Jack on maintenance and care, but Jack figured he could stretch those items out and not have to pay for them right away,” Koch said. “Now he put the boat up for sale and people laugh at him, because the boat is a piece of junk.” THE SURVEY SAYS! When it’s time to seriously consider a boat, it will need to be hauled out and surveyed — something that’s usually paid for by the buyer, though as with anything in a sale, that’s negotiable. Buyers choose surveyors from accredited organizations such as NAMS (National Association of Marine Surveyors) and SAMS (Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors). The marine surveyor is very similar to a home appraiser and inspector all in one. “A lot of times, the buying and selling parties may not agree,” said Matt Maynard, broker and owner of Irwin Yacht Sales in

Portland, Ore., and Seattle. Maynard is also the president of the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association. “There are crucial structural, mechanical, operational and safety issues that come up in the survey. It’s the broker’s job to understand who should pay for what, and why.” Some buyers have only bought new boats in the past, boats backed by warranties directly from the manufacturer, and don’t fully understand that brokerage boats are sold “as is.” “You are going to have bilge pump failures, a bad fuel sample and other issues with a used boat,” Maynard said. “There are different reasons for these problems, but the question really is how do you remedy it? It’s the job of the brokers on both sides to help the buyer and seller negotiate an agreement that is mutually beneficial to both.” WATCHING OUT FOR YOU Because buying and selling yachts is now a global business, often the buyer doesn’t

actually see the yacht he’s purchasing, but rather relies on photos, video and data on YachtWorld to make his decision. For example, a buyer in Seattle made a deal on a boat near Boston but didn’t use a broker and plunked down a sizable deposit directly to the seller’s bank account. “When the buyer went to pick up the boat, it was not what was represented,” Maynard said. “He gave the gentleman a deposit and had to go to small claims court to sue the gentleman to get the money back. The buyer ended up losing.” Maynard said if the deal had been done properly, the deposit would have been held in the broker’s trust account, with an agreement signed by both buyer and seller on how the deposit would have been handled. “All the buyer and seller had was their word, which is fine as far as that goes,” Maynard said. “Brokers are held to a higher legal standard. That’s why we advise to always use a broker.”

UNPLUGGING IN PREVOST HARBOR STUART ISLAND IS LARGELY FOR OFF-THE-GRID LIVING. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS ARE a lovely boating destination any time of year. We went in the spring, when weather can be a challenge, but the payoff is having to deal with fewer other boats. An ideal stop in the islands is Stuart Island Marine State Park. The park has two harbors, Reid Harbor and Prevost Harbor, separated by an isthmus. Both harbors offer secure anchorage and moorage, but our preference is Prevost Harbor because it provides better protection from the prevailing southeasterly wind.

GETTING THERE Stuart Island is the northwesternmost island in the San Juans, only accessible by boat, situated threeand-a-half nautical miles north of San Juan Island’s popular Roche Harbor and 11 miles northwest of Friday Harbor. Entering Prevost Harbor from its east end is not advisable. At high tide, it may appear safe for passage, but it’s full of drying reefs and rocks. Many boats have left their mark. The safest entrance into the harbor is between Charles Point and west of Satellite Island. Stay in the middle of the channel and harbor until you’re adjacent to the park dock. It would be wise to consult your charts before your arrival. Several well-charted shoals lurk beneath the surface, and boaters tempted to take shortcuts may find themselves unhappily impaled on barnacle-covered rocks. SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2016 PNW-1

Trails across Stuart Island lead from the year-round float (bottom center) to the island’s attractions, including the honor-system-based Treasure Chest (top right), the turn-of-the-last-century one-room schoolhouse that is now a museum, and the ancient rock bowls the natives used as mortars.

The mile-long, three-tenths-of-a-milewide harbor contains a park dock with a year-round 128-foot float, seven buoys, linear moorage, and plenty of good anchorage in 20 to 30 feet of water over a mud and kelp bottom. The harbor’s shoreline and shoaling rocks are wonderful to explore by kayak or dinghy, offering plenty of sealife and wildlife for viewing. As Arlene and I slowly motored the dinghy around the harbor, seals were sunning, a family of nine

otters was roaming along the shoreline, a couple of eagles were soaring overhead and a school of small fish was surfing and jumping, forming a mosaic of ripples on the surface.

cable TV or running water. Islanders have adapted with solar panels, generators, wells and propane.

ISLAND HISTORY

Stuart Island offers boaters plenty of opportunity to get off the boat and stretch their legs. The eight-tenths-of-a-mile eastern loop trail wanders from the head of the dock along the harbor’s shoreline, across the island through a forest and back west atop the rocky cliffs overlooking Reid Harbor. In the springtime, the air is filled with the sticky sweet fragrance of madrona blossoms and Nootka roses. The moss on the forest floor is lush like a vivid green carpet. Overlooking Reid Harbor, in the afternoon sun, are a couple of bowls worn in the rocks where coastal Native Americans used pestles and the rock bowls as a mortar to crush and grind dried roots

Stuart Island is the eighth largest in the San Juan archipelago and named by the Wilkes Expedition in 1841 in honor of Frederick D. Stuart, the captain’s clerk on the expedition. The park was acquired in four transactions between 1952 and 1975, purchased from the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Today, approximately 15 year-round residents call the 1,786-acre island home. There are no “amenities” associated with city living: no electricity, telephones,

turn-of-the-century one-room schoolhouse, which served generations of children from Stuart and neighboring islands. In the early 1980s, a new modern wood and glass openplan building was constructed and the old school building served as the island’s museum and school library. But, sadly, it has since closed. Today, there is only one school-aged child in residence on the island, which isn’t enough to justify keeping the school open. The schoolhouse is at the heart of the small community and during the summer months this is where visitors will find a treasure chest out front. It’s filled with T-shirts, note cards and other souvenirs sold on the honor system. Each item is packaged with an IOU and an envelope for you to mail a check when you reach civilization again. Just past the school, bear right onto the county road and continue to the intersection with the road that climbs up from the county wharf at the head of Prevost Harbor, past a few homes. Here, on a clear day, look east over the pasture and you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular view of snowcapped Mt. Baker floating on the horizon.

That’s not often the case during the height of the season. A third trail leads visitors to the island’s schoolhouse and beyond to Turn Point Lighthouse. From the dock, the trail leads

across the isthmus west over the rocky bluff above Reid Harbor, and then drops down a steep set of stairs to the beach at the harbor’s head and a gravel county road.

Turn left and follow the road deeper into the island’s rugged interior and into another place and time. As you near Turn Point, all signs of civilization disappear and the forest closes in. The lighthouse has been preserved as a historic site by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The signal building, keeper’s home and barn were built in 1893 and manned until the light was automated in 1974. The view from rocky Turn Point is one of the best in the San Juans. It sweeps from Saturna Island’s East Point to the east, past the Pender Islands, up Swanson Channel to Saltspring Island, and then southwest down Haro Strait toward Victoria, B.C. This is a breathtaking spot and one of our favorite locations in the islands for a picnic. Turn Point has more to offer than a panoramic view. It’s routine to see freighters and tankers cruising to and from Vancouver, B.C. During one of our visits, we spotted a pod of orcas sliding up the west side of the island and around Turn Point, a very memorable experience.

MEET RICHARD ANDERSEN PRESIDENT & CEO OF SEAFAIR

RICHARD ANDERSEN IS THE NEWLY appointed president and CEO of Seattle institution Seafair. Andersen is a longtime event management executive and has managed sports stadiums and other large entertainment venues all over the country. Now, his experience is being brought to Seafair, which brings the entire community together for the quintessential Northwest experience. Spanning 10 weeks from July to September, Seafair includes more than 75 events, ranging from a triathlon to speedboat races, and it reaches nearly 2.2 million people. And Andersen is in charge of it all. Sea: You’re fairly new at Seafair. How has the learning curve been for you? Andersen: It’s about what I expected in terms of the process of learning, because I’ve been through this before. If I know anything, it’s that time takes time and I don’t know what I don’t know. I’ve done my best to be a good listener, to not be focused on making change for change’s sake. There’s still a lot to learn, but I believe we are in a good spot now. What was attractive about the chance to join Seafair? First, there’s a lot to love about being in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. But specifically, Seafair was attractive because of its role as a steward and servant leader in providing community events for the greater region. I simply love the fact that we’re about bringing the community together, creating great memories, doing it all in an extremely affordable manner, and then at the end of the day every dime we make, we put back into the community. Any surprises so far? Yes, and a very pleasant one. A few times in my career I’ve come into situations similar to Seafair — organizations with longstanding traditions — and in every case prior to Seafair, I found that the organization’s image within the community had become challenged. What I found with Seafair, whether people still attended or not, just mentioning the festival brought smiles to people’s faces. It is a pleasant surprise to see the emotion Seafair brings. Is there an event you’re most looking forward to? I’d have to say I’m excited about literally

everything we’re doing, so it would be hard to pick one. I’m really interested to see how creative people get around their milk-carton derby entries. I’m also jazzed about some of the new content we have for Seafair weekend, including the Bolt on the Blue Water Ski Race. Tell us a little about the Seafair Foundation. The Foundation’s primary focus is to provide strong educational experiences for our area’s youth and to enhance the professional growth of young women. I’ve been inspired to see what many of our former participants have moved on to do, and I look forward to collaborating with all those involved to help take it to the next level. What are a couple of the most popular attractions of the Seafair? You’d have to start with the Summer Fourth. It’s pure excitement from 60,000 people gathering to experience fireworks and to cheer on the celebration of our nation’s birth in such a patriotic way. Then later in July, hundreds of thousands of people line the streets of Seattle or tune in to the television to view all the various creative floats and entertainment pieces that come together, celebrating the kickoff of our summer’s greatest week. Fleet Week is such an amazing experience for everyone in the region, as they get to honor our military and see some of the ships our country uses. And of course Seafair Weekend [Aug. 5-7], where we’re working as a team to enhance the guest experience and make it easier for people to get there. We’re working to improve the food and hospitality offerings, and we’ll be introducing a number of new items including food trucks that

are popular to the community. It’ll be a spectacular weekend. Are there events boaters can attend via their own vessel? If you get there early [next year, obviously], grab a spot on Lake Union and watch the Summer Fourth. Anyone can head to Lake Washington for a great view of the Blue Angels. But we always encourage people to check with us first to see if there’s still space on the logboom. We’ll have great access to the Hydros, U.S. Navy Blue Angels, and lots of fun people enjoying their time together. What’s the Seafair Boat Club and how important is it to the two months of Seafair? The Seafair Boat Club was formed in 1974 to support the waterside activities of Seafair. The club has since morphed and now has two purposes: to support the production of the Milk Carton Derby and to continue to support the waterside activities of Seafair weekend. Outside of summer, the club also supports the Seafair & 76 Holiday Cruise in December, where more than 1,000 intellectually disabled guests embark on a special holiday cruise on Lake Union and Lake Washington. Visit seafair.com for a complete list of events.

BEACHCOMBING IN GIBSONS GIBSONS LANDING CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF THE SUNSHINE COAST. STORIES AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

TWENTY MILES NORTHWEST OF VANCOUVER, B.C., on the Sunshine Coast, the colorful seaside village of Gibsons attracts hundreds of boaters year-round. It makes an ideal weekend getaway spot for local city dwellers or a wonderful overnight stop for cruisers on their summer migration to points farther north. The latter was the situation for Arlene and me last summer. We were headed north and had plans to rendezvous with our friends Kevin and Wendy, who were on their way south. The plan was to get caught up since our last visit a few months earlier, take in some of sights and enjoy dinner at one of Gibsons’ many popular restaurants.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL The working harbor is the soul of the

village. Visiting boaters have their choice of two marinas when visiting. Inside the breakwater, Gibsons Marina 1 , VHF 66A, is to portand offers 20 guest slips on “A” dock. If the visitor’s dock is full, staff will direct you to vacated slips. The marina offers 15- and 30-amp power, fuel, washrooms, showers, a chandlery, laundry and a pumpout. For our visit we had agreed to meet at the Gibsons Landing Harbour Authority 2 , located to starboard once inside the

Most things in Gibsons are within walking distance and well marked.

breakwater. On the docks there is 30- and 50-amp power, a pumpout and Wi-Fi. The harbor office, washrooms, showers and laundry are housed in the impressive cedar log building at the top of the ramp. A pedestrian pier and gazebo overlook the harbor.

In 1859, George Gibson married Augusta and shortly after headed west from Ontario in search of land and a new life. He built a flat-bottomed sloop called Swamp Angel in Nanaimo and sailed to the Sunshine Coast, in 1886, where he laid claim to land that became known as Gibson’s Landing, and in 1947 became the town of Gibsons. Canadian residents are particularly familiar with this area because it was the Winn Road site of a long-running Canadian television show, “The Beachcombers,” about life in a small waterfront town. From 1972 to 1991, CBC Television shot “The Beachcombers” series here, imprinting its weekly images of log booms and salvage boats on the collective Canadian cultural brainstem.

GRAB A BITE There are excellent dining choices just steps from the boat. For a quick bite, try a tasty pulled pork sandwich from the Smoke on the Water BBQ Shack 5 at the top of the ramp next to the harbor office. Sweetwater Bistro 6 is the place for fabulous seafood served on the deck. Gramma’s Pub 7 is a fixture with locals and is not to be missed. Our plan for dinner was Smitty’s Oyster House 8 but we discovered it is closed on Monday. So we headed to the top of the government wharf to Molly’s Reach Restaurant 9 , the fictional site of “Nick’s Salvage,” the hangout for Nick, Relic and the gang of “The Beachcomber” television series. It came to life as a real restaurant in 1995. Painted daffodil yellow, the falsefronted landmark sits on the original homestead of the town’s namesake.

Gibsons Landing Harbour Authority looms at the top of the ramp from the docks. If oysters are your passion, a stop at Smitty’s is almost required.

retailers to nearby Upper Gibsons. A tide of entrepreneurs, artists and retirees has washed ashore here, bringing their taste of music, art and culture, varied restaurants and espresso-based beverages. The result is an independent small town that supports a mix of bookstores and galleries, its own small theater house, and even fine-dining restaurants. To provision, you can find the basics at Fong’s Market 3 or the Village Store 4 . However, major provisioning requires a cab ride to Upper Gibson’s Super Valu or IGA. Gibsons has open-air markets during the summer. On Friday afternoon, you can purchase fresh local produce at the Farmer’s Market across from Gibsons Marina. The Gibsons Landing Sunday Market is held in Holland Park.

Engines & Generators

STRETCH YOUR SEA LEGS Weathered boathouses and fishermen’s cottages line a seawalk, an irresistible public path that traces the harbor’s west shore from Armours Beach to Gibsons Marina, linking sand and cobble beaches, connecting the two marinas and a waterfront park along its route.

MUST SEE Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives 10 is where to find information and displays

on Gibsons early logging, fishing and farming, and memorabilia from “The Beachcombers” TV series.

TIME YOUR VISIT In June, Winegarden Park overlooking the harbor is home for the Gibsons Landing Jazz Week, and from June to September enjoy the sounds of Music in the Landing.

GET TO KNOW

JACK POOLE PLAZA JACK POOLE PLAZA WAS BUILT for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. It’s a nice place to stretch your legs and enjoy a little piece of recent history, Canada style. Jack Poole was a Canadian businessman who was responsible for bringing the 2010 Winter Olympics to Canada. After Poole died, the plaza was renamed Jack Poole Plaza in his memory in 2010. The external cauldron for the games was built there and remains a permanent monument.

The plaza features a beautiful backdrop of Vancouver Harbor and the North Shore Mountains.

Digital Orca, the startling full-sized breaching whale sculpture by Vancouver artist Douglas Coupland, also stands tall near the Olympic Cauldron.

Grab a bite to eat at nearby De Dutch, Mahony & Sons Burrard Landing or Cactus Club Café, all boasting beautiful views of the water from your table.

QUICK ESCAPE

A WORLD AWAY IN ALAMEDA YOU CAN GET AWAY WITHOUT EVER REALLY LEAVING THE CITY.

ALAMEDA IS JUST A STONE’S throw from Oakland, but it might as well be another country. This tiny island in San Francisco Bay has a long and unique history. What was originally a peninsula became a bustling ferry and railroad hub, and evolved to a resort town turned suburban oasis.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL On the south side of the island is Ballena Bay and Ballena Isle Marina 1 , which provides limited guest mooring at the heart of the bay, for $1 per foot, or a minimum of

$30 per night. Access Ballena Bay directly from the west side of the island; do not come through the estuary. Crown Memorial State Beach is nearby. On the other side of the island, through the estuary, Grand Marina 2 offers some guest

mooring, again at a rate of $1 per foot with a $30 minimum per night, and Alameda Marina has a guest dock and select guest berths.

PIECES OF HISTORY In the early 1900s, the area that is now Crab Cove 3 was home to what was known as Neptune Beach, or the “Coney Island of the West.” An affordable leisure spot, it had it all, from a dance hall to an Olympic-sized pool and even a rollercoaster. It is also famously known for being the first place that popsicles and snowcones were ever sold. When the Great Depression hit, and with the advent of the automobile, Neptune Beach’s convenient locale wasn’t such a draw anymore. Neptune Beach shuttered in 1940, and all the structures were SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2016 CA-1

MEET EAMON O’BYRNE PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, CHANNEL ISLANDS

EAMON O’BYRNE LEARNED TO “HAND, reef, and steer” during his tenure at America’s only floating national park, the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park located in the waters off the Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood. It was there he truly became a sailor, among the masts of those wonderful old ships. He joined the Nature Conservancy in 2008 and is now the Channel Islands program director, leading the effort to protect and restore the unique ecosystems of the islands off the California coast. The Nature Conservancy (nature.org) owns and manages 76 percent of Santa Cruz Island, the largest and most biodiverse of the Channel Islands. Sea: What type of boat is your favorite? Where are some of your favorite places to visit? Eamon: I’m a huge fan of the J 105. It’s such a fun boat to sail, whether you’re racing or cruising. I’ve found it to be a pretty forgiving boat, too, either surfing down the San Francisco Bay chop in blistering afternoon winds or chugging along the waterfront in a light breeze sundowner. I think my favorite of all the places I’ve sailed are the islands of the Kingdom of Tonga, in the South Pacific. I have very fond memories of lazily sailing the trade winds from one pristine anchorage to another, and snorkeling magnificent coral reefs and caves. On Sundays, I’d lie in my bunk listening to the locals singing beautiful Polynesian harmonies at church. Can you give us some Dos and Don’ts for boating in the Channel Islands? Definitely bring your kayak, snorkel gear and hiking boots! Kayaking around the sea caves on the eastern end of the Santa Cruz Island is a must. Scorpion Harbor has some fantastic

snorkeling and is the starting point for the best hiking trails on the island. Pelican Harbor is a snug and beautiful anchorage with great swimming and access to a short but scenic nature trail that begins at Prisoner’s Harbor. Keep your eyes open, and you’ll be rewarded with island fox and island scrub-jay sightings. You won’t see these animals anywhere else in the world! The Channel Islands are incredibly fragile landscapes, home to many rare and endangered plants and animals. For this reason, we ask boaters to take some special precautions when visiting the islands, so they don’t unwittingly transport invasive species or diseases. We also ask boaters not to remove anything from the islands. I strongly recommend that boaters visit our website for guidance before they make the crossing. Can you tell us more about the sea caves and their significance? The islands formed somewhere near present-day San Diego several million years ago, and in their long journey north, they have been carved and sculpted by nature to produce some spectacular sea caves throughout the archipelago. The Painted Cave on the northwestern shore of Santa Cruz Island, with a mile-and-a-half depth, is one of the longest and deepest in

The Island Scrub Jay and Island Fox are both indigenous creatures that you won’t be able to see anywhere else in the world besides on the Channel Islands.

The Nature Conservancy’s mission on the Channel Islands, and around the world. Opportunities to donate, volunteer or even to come work for us can be found on our website. I also believe that the boating community has a special responsibility to be a leading voice for conservation and environmental stewardship. After all, it’s our community that has unique opportunities to visit remote and wild places like islands that can’t reached any other way than by boat, so it’s really important that we speak up for their protection. What projects are you currently working on for the Channel Islands? When The Nature Conservancy began working on the Channel Islands over 40 years ago, climate change was a tiny cloud on the horizon. Now it’s the most serious threat facing the archipelago, and the emphasis of our work has shifted to include ecosystem resilience. We’ve got several really exciting projects using new advances in genetics, technology and archaeology to help us figure out how the islands have adapted to change over time, and what we can do to help them handle the impacts of climate change in the future. One of the practical applications of these projects will be to strengthen the science behind our efforts to reintroduce island plants and animals that died out as a result of past land-use practices. Why is Santa Cruz Island often compared to the Galapagos? The Galapagos are famous for the sheer variety (and oddity) of the species that are only found there, and people make the comparison to illustrate how diverse the array of life is on Santa Cruz Island, the largest and most biodiverse of California’s eight Channel Islands. However, and this a point of pride for us, there are actually more species across the Channel Islands than the Galapagos. Although admittedly, we have nothing quite like the marine iguana! But for me there is another important comparison. As Darwin discovered, islands are great places to ask and answer fundamental questions about the natural world. He discovered the story of the origins of life on this planet, and we believe the Channel Islands will make important contributions to our understanding of how to keep that life thriving and healthy into the future.

August Question:

Chris Elliott

Is there a specific reason that would force you to not represent a boat?

represent the boat if that’s the case.

The biggest one would be if the owner paints it to be something other than it is. Sometimes it’s better to stay away from that stuff. You want to be able to tell the truth about it, and if you can’t do it, it’s not a good situation.

What are a couple of facets of your job that people might not understand or know about?

Do you have an example?

You may know about a boat that, say, sank in the slip partially. You know that happened, and they may not tell the same story, but you know it’s the case. You don’t want to



Brokers seem to do a lot more now than they used to. Buyers expect them to help them not only at the beginning stages, helping them find a boat, but once they find it and go through surveys, buyers expect a broker



to be involved in the repairs. Helping them find slips is a big deal, especially in Southern California. Basically learning how to drive the boats and all that is somewhat expected to a certain extent, where it didn’t used to be. It used to be the broker handled the sales side of it and help find mechanics and other professionals and they’d hand it off. Now it seems like we do a lot more. What’s your favorite part of the job?

The lifestyle. If you like the ocean and being around boats, it’s hard to get away from it.
