A FRESH LOOK D

O YOU EVER feel like you’ve fallen into a routine,

that you haven’t done anything new and exciting for a while? It happens to almost everyone, especially in our day-to-day existence. But surely it doesn’t happen on the water, right? Well… Most boaters have a finite number of places they can visit in and around their home waters, which is where they spend the vast majority of their time, and while it’s great to have favorite places to go, eat and drink — the macadamia-encrusted mahi at that one joint never disappoints — it’s nice to see new things, too. But you don’t have to go to a completely new location to find new experiences. Viewing the familiar through new eyes is the key to happiness while boating in well-known waters. Have you really eaten at every restaurant? Have you truly poked your nose into all of the shops in the harbor or the nearby downtown area? Is there a museum dedicated to something esoteric that you’ve been avoiding? Check it out. Maybe institute a “no familiar places” policy on your next visit to Marina del Rey or Vancouver or Ensenada. If one of your haunts is small enough that you’ve truly

Try a ‘no familiar places’ policy on your next cruise.

visited everyone and every place, then order something for lunch that you haven’t tried, or buy a drink for a stranger and swap a story or two. Mike and Lisa Youngblood had the opportunity to implement a bit of a “no familiar places” strategy during their recent cruise from Seattle to their homeport of Ketchikan, Alaska, a journey they chronicle in this month’s issue, starting on page 22. They traveled from Ketchikan to Seattle in 2015 — a trip they wrote about in our February 2016 issue — leaving their boat, Faraway, in a Seattle boatyard for repairs and upgrades. So when it was time to make the same journey in reverse, they made sure to include plenty of new stops. Ten of their 17 stops on the northbound trip were new to them, and most of the rest included longer stays to see and do more. The Youngbloods had the added experience of being able to put some new equipment and systems through their paces, since Faraway had spent eight months in the yard. It was almost a shakedown cruise, at least for certain aspects of the yacht. Fans of 1980’s TV will remember Norm from “Cheers.” Nobody was more familiar with (or to) a specific place, but even he sat on a different barstool once in a while.

The yacht’s lines will appeal to classic car lovers, while the exterior and most of the components are hand-made of aluminum, for a sleek and modern look. For cocktails at the dock or a harbor cruise, on-deck settees, seats and lounges can accommodate a whopping 19 people. Whether one wants to invite that many people — or has that many friends — is up to the owner. For a bit more of an active day with fewer people, there is plenty of room under the settees for storing all kinds of water toys. A couple could easily weekend on the boat, thanks to a large forward berth (which also serves as a dining area), a head and a small but functional galley. Aluminum construction kept the yacht’s weight at around 14 tons, so the standard 600 hp twin diesels push the VQ48 past 40 knots. Twin 715 hp diesels are an option, and a Veloce version is available that promises speeds in excess of 50 knots. Joystick control around the dock will put even new boat owners at ease, and the glass bridge helm display will provide all the info a captain needs while underway. Music lovers can get the audio system customized to their taste, and owners who like to experience the outdoors from the comfort of shade will appreciate the convertible Bimini top. A hidden touch is the anchoring system that conceals the chain and the winch underwater. Vanquish Yachts, vanquish-yachts.com

White Coats IN RECENT YEARS AT DANA POINT’S waterfront park at

Island Way and Dana Drive, a small colony of white (not albino) squirrels has been spotted among the rocks. Why the strange color? According to the OC Register, these leucidic squirrels have the rare condition caused by a failure in pigmentation development, resulting in white patches of skin and fur, and sometimes leading to all-white animals. The city encourages the public not to feed the wildlife, even though they are cute and adorable. SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

Middle-ofNowhere Regatta AUSTRALIA’S LAKE EYRE WAS ONCE the world’s 13th-largest lake, but it hasn’t been full since 1974. Despite a 40-year downswing in the lake’s fortunes and its remote Outback location — 500 or so miles north of Adelaide — the Lake Eyre Yacht Club has about 220 members from Australia, the U.K., Germany, the U.S. and other places, and it sponsors a regatta — when weather and water levels cooperate. In 2016, after a two-year hiatus, the Outback Spirit Lake Eyre Yacht Club Regatta was back on, which meant that 20 rugged yachting crews loaded up their sleek one- and two-person catamarans and towed them through the Australian scrublands to arrive at the desert oasis and compete.

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.

MEXICOREPORT BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

Ensenada Harbor

HOW TO HOP DOWN BAJA IN NOVEMBER THE BASIC JOURNEY IS THREE LEGS LONG, AND THE REWARD IS CRUISING THE SEA OF CORTEZ.

S SOON AS hurricane season is over, several thousand U.S. recreational boat owners

will take their vessel and jump down Baja to pursue bliss: winter cruising season in Mexico. Get ready to break out the flip-flops and make piña coladas!

How can they do this? You might ask. It’s different for every boat, but the basics of how it’s done are simple.

THREE CROSSINGS Smaller boats being towed on trailers from San Diego hop onto Mexico Highway 1, which runs the length of Baja California to Cabo San Lucas, at Tijuana. The new border crossing at San Ysidro is finally open, which makes it easier, and drivers will find plenty of Pemex gas stations along the highway. Side roads off Highway 1 take trailerboaters to either L.A. Bay in the Sea of Cortez or Puerto San Carlos on the Pacific side of Baja. Alternatively, drivers can cross the border at the Calexico-Mexicali portal and travel the divided Highway 5 to San Felipe in the northwestern Sea of Cortez. From Arizona, trailerboaters most easily cross from Lukeville to Sonoyta, Sonora, and use Highway 8 — the direct route to Puerto Penasco in the northeastern Sea of Cortez.

THREE BIG HOPS Oceangoing powerboats can usually take Baja in three big hops: Ensenada to Turtle Bay, Turtle Bay to Magdalena Bay and Mag Bay to Los Cabos. But the boat must have the fuel range, and the crew must have the watch-standing capability to make the passages. Even owners with boats that can run at 15 knots might want to stretch their fuel range by throttling back to seven or nine knots. Every boat is different. The “big hop” method usually requires three watch standers.

• HOP 1

Ensenada is 60 miles south of the U.S.Mexico border, and it is where to get a slip, get paperwork clearance into the country and top off fuel tanks. From here, carry at least enough fuel to reach Turtle Bay, which is about 285 nautical miles by the “big hop” method. That mileage is based on not making extra zigs and zags to follow the curving coastline around Bahia Vizcaino (see map). Simply point-hop five to 10 miles off from Punta Banda, Punta Santo Tomas

and Cabo Colonet, then 10 miles off from Cabo San Quintin and Punta San Antonio. Doing so keeps boats safely outside the Sacramento Reef, as they begin to angle offshore toward Cedros Island’s Punta Norte. All these points have some anchorages that can be used logistically to kill time, in order to pass Punta Eugenia and arrive at the entrance to Turtle Bay with plenty of daylight.

Be sure to pick a good weather window for the last leg, a 175-mile jaunt, because it has no fuel and no reliable anchorage. After clearing Punta Tosca, aim for Cabo Falso. Sometimes a northwest wind lifts big following seas that can mash the starboard bow into northbound swells rolling up from the south. Boats with low freeboard should stay closer to shore — say, three to five miles

nearby with fuel docks for ships. Yatistas are welcome to stop after they clear in with the authorities. But don’t count on getting fuel here.

Be sure to pick a good weather window for the last leg.

Fuel is the main game here, and no marina yet exists, but if you anchor off the town, the skipper of one of the fuel pangas will zoom around your boat and offer to sell you fuel. They’ll tie up alongside while they pump as much as 1,000 liters of diesel into the deck fills. Or, if you med moor off the east side of town’s historic fuel pier, you can get any amount of fuel. Prices are based on scarcity. Turtle Bay is an excellent refuge anchorage, but don’t count on the town for provisions or fine dining. After Turtle Bay, it’s about 243 miles to Santa Maria or 270 to Magdalena Bay. You’ll want to point-hop five miles off the minor headlands of San Roque, Isla Asuncion and Hipolito, then 10 miles off Punta Abreojos, unless you want to anchor at Abreojos to visit Laguna San Ignacio Whale Park. From Abreojos, jump offshore for about 120 miles. Aim for a spot five miles west of Cabo San Lazaro, the major turning headland. Be prepared to avoid ship traffic that’s rounding Cabo San Lazaro between five and 10 miles off. Boats are able to stay within five miles of the rugged, steep coast until they turn into either Bahia Santa Maria or Magdalena Bay — or visit both separately. Santa Maria is a wide, easy-in, easy-out anchorage that provides good shelter from north winds. But if tropical storms are still roaming down south, boaters may feel their uncomfortable swell inside Santa Maria to some degree. In that case, continue into Magdalena Bay and turn north to anchor in Man of War Cove at Puerto Magdalena village. Sometimes, anchored boaters can arrange for limited fuel to be delivered in jerry jugs or portable tanks from Puerto San Carlos, which is a commercial port

San Ysidro

1 Cabo San Lucas

off the beach — in order to benefit from any small lee, but watch-standers need to always be vigilant for buoys and nets. Bigger boats may fishtail south while enjoying a knot or two of push. This is where an autopilot earns its keep. Turn at Cabo Falso and try to arrive in the morning hours at either Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo for two simple reasons: to avoid the fleets of sportfishing boats that zoom out at first light and to avoid the afternoon buildup of diurnal winds. Sometimes, this last hop down Baja is glassed off. Finally, you can break out the flip-flops. Does anybody remember where the blender got stowed?

THE SAME CRUISE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THE SAME CRUISE. BY MIKE YOUNGBLOOD

e were relaxing in the main cabin, enjoying one of the last few evenings of our 27-day northbound voyage from Seattle to our home in Ketchikan, Alaska, when Bina, our dog, started growling. I looked to see what she was growling at and quickly saw the object of her attention. Several people on the large cruising yacht anchored nearby had run up on the foredeck, carrying cameras and

22 SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

+ Sea Cruising feature.indd 22

8/31/16 12:28 PM

binoculars, which could mean only one thing: Something on the beach was worth looking at. We turned to look at the beach — the same beach on which we had taken our dog for a walk 15 minutes earlier — and saw a lone wolf prowling the area. Our 13-pound Cairn terrier would have made a nice snack for him.

Even cruisers who have made the journey from Seattle to Ketchikan (right) before can find plenty of new experiences.

We were anchored in Lowe Inlet, Nettle Basin, about 60 nautical miles south of Prince Rupert, on our way home after departing Seattle’s Shilshole Bay Marina about three weeks earlier. The trip was the culmination of an idea that had its beginnings during the winter of 2015. My wife, Lisa, and I had decided to run our 34-foot Mainship trawler, Faraway, from Ketchikan to Seattle, approximately 800 miles, in late August 2015 and leave it in a boatyard over the winter for maintenance and upgrades. Then, after the work was complete, we intended to run it back to Ketchikan in the spring of 2016. We chronicled the trip south in the February 2016 issue of Sea, “Cruising Faraway for Repairs.” The time had arrived for Faraway to come home.

SLOW DOWN

We made the southbound voyage in 16 days, a pace that many would probably term “leisurely.” The Alaska state ferry makes the run from Ketchikan to Bellingham in three days and two nights, nonstop of course. Lisa and I had both retired since the southbound trip, however, and we were not constrained by work schedules anymore. We wanted to stop at some places we hadn’t seen before, and we wanted to take our time and enjoy the upgrades and maintenance that had been done to the boat over the approximately eight months it was in the yard. Our voyage began May 4, when we departed from Shilshole Bay Marina in light northwesterly winds and scattered showers. We had spent about two weeks in Seattle prior to that SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016 23

date, taking possession of the boat again, provisioning for the cruise and spending time with family in the area. Our first couple of days were short, easy cruises, in calm, protected waters — a good way to start a long voyage. We stayed in Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island the first night, and at Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes the second night. Both marinas were new to us. Services and accommodations were wonderful. Out of Anacortes we transited Swinomish Channel, past the community of La Conner. Most of the time, the depthfinder showed less than 10 feet. As one can imagine, I paid very close attention to that as we made our way through the channel. During the southbound trip, we had come through Deception Pass, which was a challenge, so we wanted to try Swinomish Channel on the northbound trip. The next stop was Friday Harbor, in the 24

Roche Harbor

San Juan Islands, where we spent three nights. One of our goals for this year’s voyage was to spend a little more time in the San Juan Islands. When we were in Friday Harbor last year, the Saturday farmer’s market got blown out by a massive wind storm, so we wanted to make our return visit on a Saturday, which we accomplished. One aspect of cruising in May and June is that it is considered early, or sometimes even pre-season. In nearly all cases, we found the marinas almost empty. We made reservations in places where we later discovered they were clearly not needed. One marina charged half the normal moorage rate because it was still on pre-season rates, which was something we noticed all along our route. We also enjoyed a night in the famous Roche Harbor Marina, on San Juan Island. It was during the short run to

Roche Harbor that we discovered a glitch. Whenever I keyed the mic on the brand new VHF radio, the brand new stereo clicked on. Apparently I missed a few things during the sea trials and while testing the new systems. Fortunately, I had a couple of handheld VHF radios aboard, which got us through until I could rewire the power sources to both the stereo and the new VHF radio on the flybridge. Roche Harbor Marina was wonderful — there is no other word for it. Lisa said it was her favorite stop on the trip. We had the guest floats to ourselves, and the resort has a dog park in which we let Bina run off leash. And the 40-acre sculpture park was also terrific. We had it to ourselves, so it seemed like another dog park to Bina. The ceremony of lowering the colors and firing the cannon at the end of the evening marked a wonderful time here, although Bina did not like the boom!

WHAT THE…?

We received a little adrenaline burst on the short 24-mile run from Roche Harbor to Victoria B.C. It was a beautiful sunny day, with calm seas, and we were all on the flybridge, cruising along under bright sunshine. Suddenly an ear-splitting alarm sounded. We had several new systems on board, and I was at a loss to figure out which one was in alarm mode. I started

This time Lisa pointed toward the stern, where I saw the U.S. Customs and Border Protection patrol boat, complete with four 250 hp outboards. We did not have our radar on, since weather conditions were excellent, and the CBP boat was not broadcasting an AIS signal (for obvious reasons), so I missed it running up directly behind us. We were only a few miles from the Canadian border, which was probably what

vessels, cruise ships, numerous harbor ferries and floatplanes. Therefore, there are defined travel lanes for incoming vs. outgoing vessels and planes, as well as different lanes for the larger vessels. Lanes are marked by colored cones. It is an efficient system, and we had no issues entering the harbor. Our CANPASS certificates from last year were still valid, so all it took was a quick phone call to clear Canadian Customs and head toward our moorage, which was in what is called the Causeway Floats, directly in front of the Empress Hotel, right in the middle of downtown Victoria. Once again, I had made reservations far in advance, but the guest floats were only sparsely occupied. Visiting Victoria had been one of our cruising goals for quite some time, so being there checked off an important box. We enjoyed three days in the area, and the highlight was undoubtedly our visit to Butchart Gardens. I am not usually impressed by flowers and plants, but the gardens were wonderful, and I highly recommend them to anyone who visits the area. When originally planning our itinerary, I had considered stopping at Stuart Island after departing Victoria. Upon closer examination, I realized that, due to the somewhat unusual placement of the U.S./ Canadian border in this area, Stuart Island is actually in U.S. waters. To stop there, we would have to clear out of Canada and into U.S. waters for one night, and then immediately reenter Canadian waters the next day. I decided instead to go to Poets Cove Marina in Bedwell Harbour, and I planned the route specifically so we did not stray over the line into U.S. waters en route.

powered off again. While I was working the issue, I intentionally stayed in waters where I knew depth would not be an issue. I have a smaller Garmin unit as an independent backup, and I had it set up (I thought) to be able to be used at either the upper or the lower helm station. I quickly brought the unit up to the flybridge and just as quickly discovered that the wiring harness was not sufficiently set up to use it there. Worst case I could use it at the lower helm; however, visibility is not nearly as good down there, so I prefer to pilot from the flybridge. Plus, this smaller unit does not support radar or AIS. I ran in deep waters for an hour or so while I let the 3210C unit “rest.” When I turned it back on, it worked flawlessly, until we got to Prince Rupert. More on that later.

CHECKING MORE BOXES

Another of our goals for the northbound voyage was to see just a little bit of Desolation Sound. I had read a lot about it, and we definitely wanted to poke our nose in there. Initially, I thought we could spend a few days among the closely situated anchorages, but a little bit of “GetHome-itis” was

starting to hit, and we ended up spending only one night in Grace Harbour, which was our first night on the anchor. The next day we made a short 25-mile crossing to Discovery Harbour at Campbell River, a nice marina with full services and access to shops, restaurants and more. We restocked the larder, and I enjoyed a great burger and onion rings at A&W. Campbell River is the place where, on a northbound voyage, one stages for Seymour Narrows, which is a short seven and a half miles away. The current can run as high as 14 knots in the narrows, and vessels and lives have been lost there. For small boats such as ours, it is critical to time the transit at slack water, which we did. We transited Seymour Narrows without incident and made our way up to Blind Channel Marina and Resort, where we had stopped on the trip down, but only for one night. This year we wanted to stay a bit longer and hike some of the trails that are accessible from the resort grounds, one of which is named Big Cedar Trail. It didn’t take long to figure out why. I have been hiking, hunting and fishing in southeast Alaska since 1965 and have never come

SLIGHT DRAMA

Almost immediately out of Bedwell Harbour, my primary navigational unit, a Garmin 3210C chartplotter, failed. It just powered off and went black. I had Coastal Explorer running on my laptop, so navigation was not the problem; lack of a depthsounder was the real problem. I powered it back on, and it immediately 26 SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

across a cedar as large as the one we saw on this trail. It was indeed quite impressive.

FINDING COMPANY

Cruising in May has its advantages, including nearly empty guest docks and anchorages.

It was while we were at Blind Channel that we became aware of the Waggoner Flotilla. Most cruisers know the “Waggoner Cruising Guide” is published each year with updated information on cruising in the Northwest, from Puget Sound up as far as Ketchikan. Waggoner also sponsors a flotilla that, for a fee, cruisers can join and make the voyage together. The Waggoner folks add value by planning the stops, providing weather reports and go/no-go decisions, helping with mechanical issues, getting spare parts delivered and installed, and more. The flotilla, eight boats of varying sizes, came into Blind Channel Marina while we were there; in fact, we ended up in the same place with them for several of the succeeding nights of our voyage. Port Harvey Marina, such as it was, was

our next stop after Blind Channel. I write “such as it was” because last winter the barge supporting the restaurant and the store sank. You can imagine the effect that had on the operations of the marina. They had moorage, fresh water and shore power, but that was about it. Our next stop at Port Hardy was the jumping-off point for the long, exposed, open-ocean crossing of Queen Charlotte Sound. After our southbound voyage last year, I thought long and hard about what I could do to make the northbound voyage less stressful and more enjoyable. Weather jumped to the top of the list. I tried various approaches to getting better marine weather forecasts, but in the end I enlisted the aid of a professional weather router. We made the crossing around Cape Caution and up to Fury Cove (Penrose Island) in conditions that were not as smooth as I would have liked but nowhere near what could be termed dangerous. It was a comfort to know that once we got out there, past the point of no return, it was highly unlikely to turn for the worse. We pulled into Fury Cove and set the anchor with one of the two open ocean-crossings behind us.

DRAMA TIMES TWO

From Fury Cove, we made our way up Fitzhugh Sound to Shearwater Marina and Resort, but we had a little drama along the way. The Waggoner Flotilla was running a few miles behind us when a passenger on one of the boats passed out. I overheard the conversation over the VHF radio and even relayed some communication from the coast guard for a few minutes. There was a retired doctor traveling with the flotilla in his own boat, which was very fast. They transferred the patient to his boat and the Canadian coast guard escorted them (at 30-plus knots) into Bella Bella, which was the nearest location with medical services. I learned later that the patient recovered fully and even rejoined the flotilla, so the drama had a happy ending. In Prince Rupert, we stayed at the Prince Rupert Rowing and Yacht Club, where we had yet another exciting moment while attempting to get into our slip. Most cruisers will acknowledge that unless one SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016 27

is fighting unfavorable or dangerous sea conditions, maneuvering the boat at sea is relatively easy. That changes, however, when you get inside a tight harbor with a bit of wind and current thrown into the equation. We had just left the fuel dock and received our slip assignment from the harbor representative. I started toward that slip as the representative came over the radio and loudly and rapidly gave me a different slip assignment. I turned that direction just as the wind picked up, and we clipped the anchor of a sailboat just as we turned the corner toward the slip. I felt the jolt from the flybridge helm, and from below, Lisa yelled, “What was that?” After we got into our slip, we of course had a dialog with the owners of the sailboat. They spent about an hour carefully reviewing their boat for damage. They initially said I had bent their anchor pulpit railing. Some quick measurements

proved that to be impossible, however, as the damage was much too high for my boat to have inflicted it. Eventually they agreed there was no damage to their boat. Our boat had a small crease in one vertical railing, but that was it. Dodged a bullet on that one!

WAITING FOR THE HOME STRETCH

On the advice of our weather router, we spent three nights in Prince Rupert, awaiting favorable conditions in Dixon Entrance, which was fine, because it is a pleasant place to stay and the downtown area is a short and easy walk from the harbor. It would have been even more pleasant if the shore power had not failed, forcing us to run the generator from time to time. On our southbound voyage, I had avoided Venn Passage and run the extra miles going south around Digby Island, but this time I wanted to go through the passage. I had studied the charts

thoroughly and had confirmed that at the time of our departure the tide would be high, giving us plenty of water in the narrow and generally shallow passage. What I didn’t count on was the problematic Garmin chartplotter acting up again. For most of the transit, I had no depthsounder. However, I was following two other boats, the tide was high and I had good GPS charting on both the Garmin unit and on Coastal Explorer — no issues. Our weather router really proved his worth this time, and we enjoyed the smoothest crossing of Dixon Entrance I’ve ever made. Lisa didn’t even get seasick. The only real excitement came after we had been in U.S. waters for only a few miles. The U.S. Coast Guard boarded us for a safety check. Actually, I’m kind of glad they did. We passed with flying colors, and now, if we are approached for a safety check any time within the next year, we simply need to show the boarding report. We pulled into our home slip in Bar Harbor at about 4 p.m. on May 30, after a journey of 27 days and approximately 800 nautical miles. We quickly cleared U.S. Customs and began the process of unloading and getting settled back at home. This voyage was the completion of a long-dreamed-of plan. As with any voyage of 800 miles in a small boat, we had our issues, but overall it was a very enjoyable trip. The next part of the plan is to enjoy our first summer in retirement in our newly renovated boat in our home waters, which we are very much looking forward to.

diesel health // grid’s rant

RUN IT HARD

EXERCISE IS GOOD FOR YOUR DIESEL’S HEALTH, SO OPEN IT UP AND BLOW IT OUT ON OCCASION. BY DEANE HISLOP

HEN BOATERS GET together, sooner or later the subject turns to fuel efficiency. Usu-

ally, a couple of owners will claim they are saving fuel by reducing their rpm/speed. But what they may not realize is that operating at less-than-optimum load may be causing damage to their diesel engine(s) and the repairs could cost more than they save in fuel cost. Fuel conservation is important, especially on extended cruises, but the simple truth is that diesels perform most efficiently at 75 percent or more of their rated output. Running at a slower speed or lighter load than the designed output causes decreased efficiency and engine damage. Fuel and air are combined in diesels at

precise mixture ratios and then injected into the cylinders as a fine mist. The mixture combusts at maximum efficiency when compression and engine temperature are within designed specifications. Running with insufficient loads leads to low operating temperatures, and the engine fails to burn the fuel completely. The unburned fuel forms sludge and

fouls fuel injectors, valves, pistons and the exhaust side of the turbocharger. It also leads to an accumulation in the exhaust system. Excessive deposits can result in loss of engine performance as gases bypass valve seats, exhaust buildup produces back pressure and deposits on the turbo blades reduce turbo efficiency. A telltale sign of such trouble is an oily, nasty, sticky residue on the exhaust pipe or stack — thus, the term “wet stacking.” The word stacking comes from the term “stack” for the exhaust pipe or chimney stack. The oily exhaust pipe is, therefore, a “wet stack.” Some of the unburned fuel also leaches lubricating oil within the combustion chamber; inefficient lubrication damages piston rings and

THEEXPERTS cylinder walls. Having taken a toll here, the oil/fuel then passes out of the cylinder to the oil pan and dilutes the engine oil. This is known as “crankcase dilution” and is closely related to wet stacking. To understand how wet stacking happens, one must have at least a cursory knowledge of the internal operation of a four-stroke diesel engine. As the piston

fuel injector sprays a fine mist of fuel into the cylinder. The air in the cylinder is hot enough to vaporize and ignite the fuel. The burning fuel adds heat to the air in the cylinder, and the pressure and temperature rise further. The hot compressed gas in the cylinder pushes the piston downward. The force of the piston is transmitted to the crankshaft through the tie rod, turning

When the piston reaches the limit of its downward travel, it reverses direction, the intake valve closes, and the piston compresses the air in the cylinder. The temperature and pressure of the air in the cylinder rise dramatically. With the piston at the top of the compression stroke, the

the crankshaft. The exhaust valve opens, and the piston pushes the hot gas out of the cylinder, through the exhaust valve, into the exhaust system. A portion of the exhaust gas is diverted through the turbocharger to drive compression of the intake air, and the cycle begins again. When a diesel engine runs with less than a full load, it develops only enough power to drive its accessories and overcome

internal friction. It uses very little fuel and consequently develops little heat inside the cylinder. The cylinder’s internal surfaces stay considerably cooler than when running at higher load. A diesel engine doesn’t use spark plugs. It relies on the hot compressed air in the cylinder to vaporize and ignite the fuel. With the air cooler than the designed temperature, conditions for combustion are less than ideal. The fuel ignites and burns, but it doesn’t burn completely. What remains are vaporized fuel and soot — small, hard particles of unburned carbon. Fuel condenses in the exhaust system and soot deposits on surfaces inside both the exhaust system and engine. In the exhaust system, fuel vapors condense and mix with soot to form a dark, thick liquid that looks like engine oil. It may ooze from the turbocharger or drip from the exhaust outlets. Inside the cylinder, soot can form hard carbon deposits on the fuel injector nozzle.

The nozzle is designed to atomize the fuel, delivering a fine mist that vaporizes readily. When the injector nozzle is fouled with carbon, its ability to atomize the fuel is compromised, and it delivers larger droplets to the cylinder. The fuel consequently vaporizes less efficiently, more fuel remains unburned and more fuel passes into the exhaust system. Wet stacking is a progressive condition; it tends to lead to more wet stacking. It’s generally believed that prolonged operation at low loads can lead to permanent engine damage, requiring a major engine overhaul. Costs of an overhaul can run so high that replacing the engine is the most economical option. Thankfully, the effects of inefficient fuel burn will not cause permanent damage over short periods, but over longer periods, deposits will scar and erode key engine surfaces. Skippers can avoid the damage as a result of wet stacking by periodically running the engine at loads of 75 percent

Proper loading can be calculated as the percentage of engine rpm while in use divided by the manufacturer’s maximum steady-state recommended rpm. Determine your loads incurred while motoring at conservative levels, which are certainly under the 75 to 80 percent range suggested to maximize fuel burn. Now determine the rpm required to obtain proper loading and run the engine a couple of hours at this level periodically to remove any sludge that may have built up on internal engine components. Blowing the engine out for a couple of hours will cost you a bit more in fuel but far less than an engine overhaul or, even worse, a replacement. SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016 37

CRUISERS

60 CANTIUS FLYBRIDGE IT’S A NEAR-40 MPH SPRINTER THAT’S A WEEKENDER AT HEART.

RUISERS YACHTS MADE a splash last year with the 60 Cantius, a new flagship for the

Cantius line, and almost exactly a year later, the Oconto, Wis.-based builder introduced the 60’s companion yacht, the 60 Cantius Flybridge. Cruisers’ designers kept the sleek look of the original 60 even with the addition of a flybridge, by maintaining the swept-back angle of the windshield and keeping the Egyptian-eye-like cabin windows. The wind screen on the bridge itself is a low, Euro-style, forward-leaning one, which cuts down on the profile and keeps the yacht sleek. Since the flybridge is brand new, that’s where we’re going to begin, so climb up the steps from the starboard side of the cockpit. By my count, the minimum head count the bridge can accommodate is seven, and that’s if three people bogart the seven-person settee aft, two people stretch out on the port and starboard settee/chaise lounges, the captain takes the doublewide helm seat for himself, and one person spreads out on the two-person sun lounge forward of the helm — a touch that is a continuation of a feature found on the original 60 Cantius and this new model, but more on that soon. If everyone shares space, about 15 people can find a spot for their rear end. A console with an electric grill and a drawer freezer is immediately aft of the helm seat, and a separate console with a sink and a small refrigerator is to port. Operating the yacht from the centerline flybridge helm is simple, and will likely be the preferred spot on nice days. It’s covered by the hardtop but open to the

wind and water, and the console includes a Raymarine touchscreen MFD, a Volvo engine display, a Seakeeper display, a stereo head unit, a VHF radio and more. Atop the console is a compass and the Volvo joystick. Some people might find that an awkward placement for the joystick, but a lot of skippers like to stand and look around during docking, so it makes sense in that situation. Cutouts on either side of the console include three cupholders each, so there is plenty of beverage storage.

TAKE A BOW Cruisers knew it was on to something good with the bow on the original 60 Cantius, so designers kept the arrangement. Two sun beds hold a place of prominence. They both recline from about 45 degrees to flat, and a canopy can be deployed to keep the sun off their occupants. Between them is a heavily tinted glass hatch to the forward stateroom, three cupholders and a built-in cooler that is within reach of folks

on the sun beds and those sitting on the settee. Immediately aft of the sun beds is a settee with room for four people. Two small removable tables will hold a few drinks and snacks. When the boat is at rest, this is sure to be a popular hangout spot.

BAR & GRILL • Huge swim platform (hydraulic optional) • Hull windows • Storage space behind transom panel • Cockpit docking station • Full-size washer and dryer

Social spaces abound on the 60 Cantius Flybridge, from the helm/dinette to the cockpit to the flybridge to the galley that’s open to the salon and the cockpit.

On the other end of the yacht, passengers will find another sweet spot to hang out. A six-person C-shaped settee is on the transom and includes a high-low table with four cupholders. Forward of that is a built-in console that houses a grill and two barstools that seem to be out of place

— but looks can be deceiving. Two-thirds of the bulkhead between the cockpit and the galley/salon is glass, composed of a door near the center and a large window to port. The door opens and latches, but the window is what makes the bulkhead special. The top half of it lowers into the bottom half, with the simple push of a button, to really open things up, and with it lowered, the aft countertop in the galley becomes a bar for the stools, thereby ending their seeming exile. It’s a clever, socialfriendly arrangement.

R&R Moving belowdecks, we find what will likely be one of the yacht’s biggest selling points, at least as far as the owner is concerned. And really, who matters more than the person writing the check? The master stateroom is an amidships, fullbeam retreat that takes full advantage of the huge hull windows to remain well-lit and have nice views of the water. To starboard is a nice seating area/breakfast nook, while to port is a seven-foot-long built-in bureau with storage in drawers and behind doors. A refrigerator occupies the forward quarter of the under-bureau storage. The king-size bed is against the center of the aft bulkhead. The master head includes twin sinks, a shower stall and a Dometic toilet.

The yacht’s bow includes a four-person settee and two large sunpads that recline.

tk pullquote

What’s likely to draw attention is the master closet. The one on our test boat was just outside the entry to the stateroom. It’s full height, it’s about six feet wide, and it features built-in drawers, cubby holes and shelves. It even has a window.

MORE BELOW Forward is the VIP stateroom, which might have been the master if not for the Volvo pods, which allow the engines to be placed farther aft than with traditional shaft drives. Hull windows run nearly the length of the space, and a tinted overhead hatch lets in even more light. The centerline berth is roughly queen size, and a hanging locker is to starboard. The VIP has direct access to the second head, which it shares with the third stateroom, which is immediately to starboard in the foyer at the base of the stairs from above. Bunks occupied the space on our test boat, but owners can option it as a lower salon, which is a good match for the wet bar across from it. The foyer area is well-lit thanks to the windshield above, which starts a fair distance in front of the helm and angles back, creating a bit of an atrium effect below.

MAIN DECK Even with all the great social spaces on the 60 Fly — the bow, the cockpit, the flybridge — the main cabin can hold its own. Two settees, a sofa to starboard and a C-shaped settee to port, have room for eight people to sit comfortably. The port settee has an expandable table for formal dining, and while there is room for up to six people to sit, four is a better number for dining. Twin captain’s chairs sit at the helm, which consists of a modern looking console — black, gray and stainless — with Raymarine glass bridge MFDs, engine gauges, a compass and a stainless-andleather sport wheel. The engine throttles are immediately to the outboard side of the steering wheel and just aft of the dash, making it easier to reach during actual operation of the vessel. There is a bit of fiberglass in the cabin walls, mostly there to hold the uniquely shaped window glass in place. Even though the addition of the flybridge eliminated the huge sunroof from this yacht,

42 SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

+ Sea Trial Cruisers.indd 42

plenty of natural light pours in, and with the aft bulkhead and two side windows open, air streams through to keep the atmosphere pleasant, though there is air conditioning to handle that job in a more modern fashion. Aft of all that seating is the galley, which stretches across the cabin in two sections. On the port side, the chef will find a U-shaped countertop, a microwave/convection oven, a double sink, a two-burner stovetop, and refrigerator and freezer drawers, with cabinets above. The starboard side features another refrigerator/freezer drawer unit, and a drawer-style dishwasher underneath a countertop. More cabinets are above. The grill in the cockpit completes the food-prep accommodations.

PERFORMANCE We had about 15 people aboard both times I took a run on the yacht, so the numbers I gathered are slightly different than the numbers the Cruisers and Volvo

people registered with just three people aboard. The standard engines in the 60 are Volvo Penta IPS950 diesels, each capable of cranking out 725 hp. At 2100 rpm, we reached 25.8 mph on test day, but the same rpm yielded 27.9 mph for the Volvo folks, and that’s to be expected. Fuel burn at that speed was roughly 46 gph, yielding a range of about 350 miles. Speed jumped to 32.8 mph at 2300 rpm, with a fuel burn of 56 gph, and top speed was 38.4 mph for the Cruisers/Volvo team at 2560 rpm, where a 71 gph fuel burn yielded a 310-mile range. It even has longer range coastal capabilities if the owner is willing to slow down. At 10 mph, its range is around 570 miles. We spent very little time at WOT, in deference to the flybridge being packed with people and the diesels still being very, very new, but we did crank the wheel hard over a few times closer to cruise speed — Hold on! — and the yacht exhibited an inward lean somewhere between sportboat and no lean. It was aggressive enough to

make passengers take notice but not so much that folks on the flybridge had to worry about being dumped. Sturgeon Bay was calm on test day, so we had to create our own waves to try out one of the yacht’s best hidden features: the Seakeeper gyro. We pulled a hard turn and circled a couple of times to create as much wake as possible, and then the 54 Cantius buzzed by to add its wake to the conflagration. Our captain then stopped in the middle of the confused waves and let the gyro do its thing, which it did, holding the 60-footer solid and level. Every time I’m on a Seakeeper-equipped boat I’m impressed by the gyro’s performance. The 60 Cantius is instantly recognizable as a member of Cruisers’ signature line, from the unique bow setup to the spacious and luxurious interior. While the addition of the flybridge expands the yacht’s entertaining and dayboating possibilities, it remains an almost-40 mph sprinter that’s a solid weekender for a couple or a family.

RIVIERA

6000 SPORT YACHT A FLOATING RESORT OR A FAMILY CRUISER? HOW ABOUT BOTH.

IVIERA YACHTS HAVE always been built tough and rugged — like tanks but with way

better maneuverability and comfort. They had to be, since their home waters are the open oceans around Australia. They developed a worldwide reputation as first-class offshore fishing vessels that can take a pounding, and the builder has spent the last several years taking that tough-as-nails philosophy and transitioning it to family cruising boats of the flybridge, express and sport yacht variety. If there was a downside to being as tough as a tank, it was that Riviera interiors — cleverly laid out and very well fit and finished — had a rather “plain” look about them. The new Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht shatters that convention, continuing the builder’s evolution toward luxury and cruising. Riviera’s newest offering, with an overall length of 63 feet, 4 inches, is the flagship of the builder’s Sport Yacht line. Its interior fit and finish is striking and of such a high level it could serve as a floating private club. A very experienced colleague of mine was on board during this test and commented the ship could easily serve as a floating five-star resort.

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION FEATURES The 6000 Sport Yacht was designed by a nine-member team with a combined 130 years in the boat design and building business. The 6000 is built on the success of the Riviera 5800, which was introduced seven years ago and has been a best seller for the builder. The hull below the waterline, including



TESTER’S OPINION

the keel and chines, is solid, hand-laid fiberglass, while cored glass is used for the deck, cabins and hull sides. Such construction is pretty standard for almost all new vessels of this size and speed and has the effect of keeping the center of gravity as low as possible. For the 6000 hull, Riviera returned to a hull keel — it had been eliminated on the 5800 — running from the bow to six feet forward of the pod drives. The keel improves tracking underway, helps stabilization at anchor, and adds stiffness and strength to the hull — something important in a 30-knot boat.

ON DECK Access to the deck is over the swim grid and up twin stairways through port or starboard transom gates. The swim step is almost exactly the same height off the water as most dock heights, which makes boarding quick, safe and easy. The swim grid has another interesting feature: The starboard side of the platform is fixed, so that when the rest of the platform is hydraulically lowered into the water,

• This new Sport Yacht will turn out

to be another Riviera best seller, and that means it will hold its value over time.

The 6000 Sport Yacht’s fit and finish make it feel like a private club or a floating resort. Real leather, Amtico flooring, highquality woodwork and extensive use of glass show Riviera’s commitment to luxury and cruising.

boaters can easily step into the dinghy. The Riviera 6000 comes complete with a dinghy garage, which is a boon to owners who want security for their expensive dinghy. Our test boat had a 10-foot, 6-inch Palm Beach inflatable RIB complete with a 30 hp Yamaha outboard. That is an expensive package, but the dinghy garage accommodated it nicely — and out of sight! The vessel can be ordered without the dinghy garage, providing more space to the engine room. The teak-soled cockpit is large and an ideal outdoor entertaining area. With settees to port and starboard and a substantial outdoor galley/wet bar, the cockpit is the place for full meals to be comfortably prepared and served in the open air. Under the portside settee, the builder tucked an electric cooler and ice-maker. Under the starboard settee is plenty of room for fenders and lines. An extended cockpit hardtop provides shade from the sun or protection from the rain, as required — protection that has been a feature of Riviera yachts for some time and

is a boon to boaters who spend a lot of time at sea. With the sliding aft door open and the bulkhead window swung up, the main cabin and cockpit become an indoor-outdoor space, something that Riviera pioneered and has become a feature of most new vessels, regardless of the builder. A set of port and starboard popup joystick controls help take the stress out of docking, even in tight, crowded marinas. Wide sidedecks, complete with solid raised bulwarks and stainless handrails, make getting to the foredeck quick, safe and easy. The foredeck has one of the largest sunpads available on a boat of this size and also features an insulated cooler, so sun-soakers can grab a cool one when they get too warm.

OPEN INTERIOR The interior of our test vessel featured same-level access from the cockpit. The high-gloss walnut woodwork fit and finish was excellent. Walnut is not a wood usually associated with the marine industry, but in the case of the 6000 SY, it worked incredibly well, particularly when combined with real leather upholstery. The synthetic Amtico plank-finished flooring was covered with a snap-in woven vinyl carpeting. Both the flooring and the carpeting were selected to reduce maintenance requirements. The flooring is much tougher and more damage resistant than real oak, and the carpeting can be unsnapped, taken outside and hosed down. Once again, the Riviera design team has shown it actually goes boating! With a deckhouse that was more window glass than fiberglass, our test vessel’s interior was bathed in natural light. Interior ventilation, even at rest, will be excellent, thanks to an electrically operated sunroof and two opening side windows. When all the deckhouse windows and doors are open, even the slightest breeze outside will move through the vessel, keeping it smelling fresh and clean and free of mold and mildew. A large opening sunroof and four overhead windows create a feeling of even more openness in the main cabin and bring the outdoors in, which is a common feature of Riviera yachts.

8/31/16 12:32 PM

DINE & DRIVE A U-shaped gourmet galley is placed so that it is handy to both the interior and the cockpit, meaning the cook is not isolated during food prep. All appliances are top-of-the-line Miele and include an electric induction cooktop, a range hood, a combination microwave/oven with a grill, and a dishwasher. There’s plenty of overhead cupboard and under-counter drawer storage. The galley also boasts a five-drawer refrigerator/freezer, an ice-maker and a slide-out pantry. The main interior dinette area is set on a raised platform, so a guest who is lounging, reading a book, working on a computer or playing cards with another guest can easily see out. Riviera takes every opportunity to bring the outside in. The helm station is forward to starboard, and visibility from the pair of electrically operated leather-covered helm chairs is excellent all around. The joystick and all other controls fall easily to hand.

ACCOMMODATIONS All permanent inside accommodations are belowdecks, but plenty of natural light keeps the stairwell access bright and cheery. The high-gloss woodwork continued in all three cabins on our test boat. A different layout, allowing a small fourth cabin, is also available. All cabins feature en suite heads with separate shower stalls, comfortable beds, a vanity and plenty of storage. Our test boat had a full-size stacked Bosch washer and dryer in the accommodation area. A large cedar-lined locker is also located below. The master suite is full beam, and the VIP suite is fitted nicely into the forepeak. The third cabin can have either twin berths or the twins can slide together to form a large double. Hull windows and opening ports in the heads ensure good natural light and ventilation. Overall, the accommodation area is very comfortable.

The new Riviera 6000 is one of the best designed and built vessels in its size range.

UNDERWAY The twin Volvos fired up easily and quickly and settled into their running mode without smoke, rattle or hunting. With Emerald Pacific’s Rob Scott on the cockpit joystick controls, the 6000 eased away from the dock and threaded its way through the crowded marina. Scott is clearly a skilled operator. His skill and experience made it possible to put the boat quickly and efficiently through its paces. Once in the fairway, we took the boat up to speed. It accelerated quickly with almost no bowrise, so visibility forward was not compromised. The vessel was quiet; our noisemeter read about 70 decibels, roughly the same volume as a normal conversation.

In fact, during our entire test we were able to communicate with other people on board without having to raise our voice, even with doors and windows open. Wide-open throttle was 2550 rpm, at which point the 6000 made 33 knots. Speeds were checked on an independent GPS and fuel consumption information came from the engines’ onboard computers. At 1000 revs, we poked along at 11 knots and got 1.5 mpg. At a comfortable plane of about 25 knots, fuel consumption fell to about 0.5 mpg, normal for a vessel of this size, weight and power. At all speeds during our test, the vessel responded promptly and precisely to all helm inputs. While sea conditions were calm, there was a lot of boating activity coming and going from the marina, and our test boat handled all wakes easily and quietly. The new Riviera 6000 is one of the best designed and built vessels in its size range. It is incredibly well fitted out and finished. The interior quality will make passengers think they are on a much larger yacht. It is quiet underway and is equally at home poking along at nine or 10 knots as it is running flat out at 33 knots. And even at more than 60 feet long, it can easily be handled by an experienced couple. All equipment is top of the line, and the extended cockpit cover means entertaining on board is comfortable regardless of the weather. This new Sport Yacht will turn out to be another Riviera best seller, and that means it will hold its value over time.

RANGER TUGS R-23 SAFETY, COMFORT AND EASY HANDLING DISTINGUISH THIS TRAILERABLE CRUISER.

ANGER TUGS’ NEW R-23 is a winner. If one wants a small, very capable, high-speed, trailerable cruiser, Ranger’s newest offering will fit the bill. At least 50 have been sold in the first five months since its introduction at the 2016 Vancouver International Boat Show in January. Ranger has set aside a complete production facility just to build this one model. According to the builder, 90 percent of purchasers are young parents with children.

A BIT OF HISTORY In 1998, John Livingston, the son of legendary Pacific Northwest boat designer David Livingston, acquired Fluid Motion LLC, a company that had been building the Ranger 21 since 1958. Since that acquisition, Livingston has added seven new Ranger models to the line and has developed the Cutwater line. Ranger and Cutwater are now among the best selling marques in North America. Their customer service is top rated by many boaters and their staff responds quickly, and knowledgeably, to questions.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION The R-23 is a new design, not a modification of another vessel in the line. It does have a comfortable and familiar feeling to it, but that’s because of the design

the transom. The hull shape also features reverse chines and planing strakes, which add nicely to hull stability both underway and at rest. Another proprietary hull design feature is unique to this hull. Ranger calls them Laminar Flow Interrupters. They are small oval “dimples” laminated into the hull that have the effect of introducing a layer of air between the hull bottom and the water, which reduces the drag on the hull in smooth water and in tight turns. The R-23 hull is hand-laid solid fiberglass below the waterline and cored glass in all other areas. In areas that require the traditional backing plates for cleats and other fittings, Ranger uses Coosa Board, high-density polyurethane panels with glass fibers laminated in. A pan stringer system is bonded solidly to the hull interior.

Even with five people on board, the cockpit had plenty of room. brilliance of Livingston, who uses proven features that work on other Ranger and Cutwater models and incorporates them into the new boat. The hull design is different. It starts with a deep-V (22 degrees) at the bow, flattens to an 11 degree deadrise about a third of the way aft and sharpens to 24 degrees at

ON BOARD Getting on board is safe and easy — a step from the dock to a swim step that is at about the same height above the water as the dock, and then through a transom gate into the very spacious cockpit.

convenient place to tie up a dinghy. Even with five people on board, the cockpit had plenty of room. It helps that the outboard is mounted on a bracket under the swim step, to keep the cockpit clear, which makes the R-23 a great fishing platform. Access to the interior is through a glass bulkhead door. Two aft windows, one fixed and one that swings up, allow plenty of natural light into the deckhouse. There is great visibility directly from the helm seat into the cockpit. Opening overhead hatches and sliding side windows provide good ventilation. Along the port side is a raised dinette that seats four and can be converted to a berth. Under the dinette is a good storage space that could be used as a berth for smaller kids. Along the starboard side is a compact but complete galley, featuring a single-burner cooktop, a sink, a refrigerator/freezer and a good amount of storage space. Mounted across from the galley, under the forward dinette seat, is a microwave. Forward of the galley is the helm station. Our test boat was equipped with a single-lever fly-by-wire engine control and a Yamaha Command Link Plus video display that provides all engine information at a glance. The helm dash had plenty of room for all standard video display screens.

BELOWDECKS Accommodations forward are comfortable, featuring twin berths and a dropdown table that combines with the cushion insert to create a standard double V-berth. A pair of overhead hatches and hull windows make the space bright and cheery and allow for good ventilation. A small sink, complete with a pullout showerhead, and a mirror are to port, while a manual head is to starboard. A clever combination of companionway door and curtains allows for an inside shower. The interior fit and finish through this small cruiser is good, and the materials selected — teak paneling and cabinetry, ebony vinyl flooring, vinyl Sunbrella upholstery and white gelcoat — make the interior very easy to keep clean.

UNDERWAY Our test boat was equipped with the standard 200 hp Yamaha outboard. The award-winning, four-cycle, inline, four-cylinder, 2.8L engine popped the R-23 quickly onto plane and we soon spooled up to wide-open throttle of 5500 rpm, which gave us a top speed of 31.3 knots. At that speed, we were getting 1.6 nautical miles per gallon. At a comfortable cruise of about 23 knots (4400 revs), we were

The outboard-powered Ranger has plenty of space below the cockpit for a small generator. The R-23 handled very well during our entire test. It responded quickly and immediately to all helm inputs, and the Laminar Flow Interrupters really showed

by the introduction of air created by the Interrupters, the bog-down effect was greatly reduced.

WRAP The R-23 is a solidly put together, brilliantly designed small cruiser from a very experienced builder. Many of the new hull design features will be adopted by other

manufacturers in due course. The pricing of this boat reminds me of another Pacific Northwest icon that kick-started new boat sales in 1980. At that time, fuel prices were rising rapidly and new boat sales were almost non-existent. Boaters were nervous, uncertain about the economy and, therefore, afraid to spend money. Then Nordic Tugs introduced its 26-footer at the Seattle Boat Show and sold one every three hours the show was open. The price was $29,995 at the time. That purchase price in 1980 equals about $92,497 in today’s dollars. The R-23’s suggested retail price of $94,937 puts it in incredibly good company; plus, the new Ranger has more useable space and is faster and far more comfortable than the original 26. The Ranger R-23 is a must-see vessel for buyers who want to get on the water in a safe, comfortable boat that handles well, is fast and easy to keep clean, and can be had at a price that won’t break the bank.

HORIZON E98

A NEW E SERIES FLAGSHIP EXTENDS HORIZON’S MOTORYACHT LINE.

OT A BUILDER to rest on its laurels, Horizon has been busy expanding its series, from

the new Power Cat line to the Fast Displacement line. And even within existing series, Horizon keeps things fresh, as borne out by the new E98, a motoryacht that sits atop the nine-model E series as the flagship. With four staterooms — including a master that spans the 23-foot, 2-inch beam — that all include en suite heads, and room for three or four crew, the E98 can definitely serve as a family-style cruiser. The main deck houses a large salon, a formal dining area, a full galley and a country kitchen. Plus, the aft deck extends the main cabin’s social scene all the way to the transom. The layout, according to the builder, is customizable, so owners will get the interior they want. A bow social area with a double sunpad and a settee for four or five adds to the outdoor space, which includes the flybridge, if the open version is chosen. The flybridge can be open or fully enclosed as a skylounge, depending on the owner’s preference and probably his cruising location, but either way seating is abundant on a C-shaped settee, a single captain’s chair, double companion seats to either side and five barstools bellied up to an L-shaped bar. A commercial icebox and a high-low barbecue grill ensure everyone on the bridge will

t erization” As boating season slows for fall and winter — or shuts down for a few months — be sure to complete some tasks to ensure your vessel is ready to go anytime. BY DOUG THOMPSON

BOATING DURING THE FALL AND WINTER ON THE WEST COAST OFFERS OBVIOUS WEATHER CHALLENGES, DEPENDING ON YOUR CRUISING GROUNDS, YET IT IS ALSO APPEALING.

The cold winds make flags snap in a crisp, winter way, and there is the appreciated solitude of unoccupied anchorages. To ensure your boat is safe in challenging conditions, it’s time to complete some late-season chores. While West Coast boat owners may not winterize their vessel like their colder brethren on the East Coast, there are important tasks to complete. Unless you are laying up and going dormant for four months, develop a plan for end-of-year maintenance, one that checks off important boxes but doesn’t put your vessel in mothballs. When the perfect late fall or early winter day comes around, you still want to be able to go.

While some owners of 40- to 80-foot boats may be maintenance-savvy and competent with tools, some aren’t. Maybe working on the boat isn’t your primary hobby, or you just don’t have the time to perform late-season chores. Marine service centers do the job, and do it well. Here’s a look at what professional marine service centers say are some of the most important tasks to complete. While most of it is basic maintenance, there are tips and tricks for making sure today’s boats are ready to run when you are.

Early Boater Gets the Yard Marine service centers get super busy in the spring — right when boat owners want to kick their boating into high gear. Get maintenance done in November, December or January when the business is slow and specials are being offered. “You can get deals on service and then be ready for the spring,” said Jim Drake, owner of Drake Marine in South San Francisco for 25 years. “When people wait to do maintenance or upkeep, it only causes them problems later. Bite the bullet early, because it doesn’t hurt the boat at all to

have all the service done, even if the boat doesn’t move.” For a look at the systems that need to be checked on an annual basis, see the sidebar “A Look at Annual Maintenance.”

What’s the Difference? East Coast winterization includes servicing the vessel and running antifreeze through the engine. Some boaters even shrink-wrap the boat before putting it in dry storage. On the West Coast, if boaters won’t be using their boat during the winter, they’ll

A Look at Annual Maintenance

service the vessel’s engine so that it sits in fresh oil. However, in places like Southern California, boaters have the luxury of using their boat year round, so regular engine maintenance is crucial.

Clean up to Spot Problems Though your engine room is out of sight, it shouldn’t be out of mind. Keeping the engine room tidy not only allows you to show off a great-looking compartment to friends, it also is a vital safety tool and provides a clear backdrop for discovering any new problems fast. Because conditions inside the compartment are extreme when the engines are blazing, it’s vital to stay in tune with this critical area of your boat. When the engine room is super clean, any dust or oil is very easy to spot. “Many boat owners dislike cleaning the bilge and engine room,” said Eric Parsons, a marine technician and owner of Marine Services in Santa Barbara, which opened in 2000. Parsons is mobile and specializes in boats from 35 to 50 feet. “It can get very dirty and is a big task, but if it’s clean, it is easier to diagnose issues such as leaks and catch them in time, before they get worse.” Owners may be afraid to hose down the engine compartment with fresh water, but they shouldn’t be. The intakes are pulling in huge amounts of salt air, and the salt needs to be removed from these interior surfaces just the same as those on the exterior of the boat. It’s OK to hose the engine compartment down with fresh water and then spray fogging oil over everything. That keeps the nuts and bolts from corroding, so you can work on them when you need to.

“When people wait to do maintenance or upkeep, it only causes them problems later. ”

A Vital Duty When boaters aren’t using their vessels often, it is recommended they run it in gear above idle for 30 minutes at least once a month. The health of an engine decreases when it’s left sitting. A general service should also be performed every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. The service should include changing the oil, oil filter, fuel filters,

SING A MARINE SERVICE professional to perform annual services every fall on your boat can be crucial to making sure all the systems operate properly. Committing to a November or December date means you won’t skip an important yearly check, and rates are cheaper as service yards try to stay busy. “A lot of our customers are on a preventative maintenance program year round,” said Jim Drake, owner of Drake Marine in South San Francisco. “At the end of one quarter, we perform a certain set of checks, and after the next quarter [we perform] another set. In the fall or winter, we do the annuals, and then when spring comes it’s a couple of fluid checks and see you later.” An annual maintenance checklist will cover your boat from stem to stern, top to bottom, and inside and out. It’s important to look at every aspect of your vessel, including the following: • Exterior. Wash down, hull repair, wax, brightwork polishing, canvas cleaning and inspection • Interior. Remove old food, liquids, clean bilge, circulate air through interior, clean and dry cushions and carpet • Sanitation. Clean toilets, drain and flush holding tank, check hoses • Freshwater system. Drain system, water heater and shower lines • Batteries. Check for corrosion, loose wiring, and make sure they are being fully charged monthly • Electronics. Use a moisture-displacing lubricant spray to protect connections • Bilge pumps. Drain water, check for damage, make sure they work and that you have a bilge alarm • Other aspects. Perform inspection of raw-water washdown, air-conditioning system, LPG or CNG stoves, running gear and steering systems to manufacturer recommendations The above list offers general guidelines. Make sure you check with your marine service professional for a complete list of annual maintenance items for your boat. SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016 57

BOAT OWNERS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO CHANGE OIL AND DO A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THEIR VESSEL’S ENGINE

transmission fluid and zincs, and checking belts and hoses. “Boat owners should know how to change oil and do a visual inspection of their vessel’s engine,” Parsons said. “Even if they don’t end up doing the work themselves, it’s important to know the basics and what their engine should look like in case a problem does come up. They’ll be able to point out the symptoms to their marine technician for better diagnosis.” As a reminder, always verify the engine maintenance schedule with your manufacturer to avoid unnecessary work. What is your engine’s recommended schedule?

Top off the Tank When a boat sits at the dock for weeks or months and the diesel sits undisturbed in the fuel tank, all it takes is for a small amount of water to make its way into the tank to create the perfect breeding ground for microbe growth. The microbes live in the water and feed off the organic materials

in diesel fuel. “Keep your fuel tank topped off and then use a biocide,” said Ed Gonsorowski, owner of Edwards Marine Services based in Edmonds, Wash. “With the way fuel has changed in the last 10 years, it is very important to keep the algae from growing and then getting into the fuel system.”

Get Educated A typical boating day might be three hours of getting the boat ready, three hours of fun on the water, and another three hours cleaning up when you’re done. “If someone is going cruising, then they definitely have to know how to fix things,” Drake said. “We have no problem helping people and guiding them through maintenance projects. We get enough business from them buying parts, so it’s worth it for us to teach them how to do it.” Gonsorowski once spent four days with a husband and wife about to embark on a long cruise. He went around the boat showing the husband how to service the engines, bilge pumps and fuel system while the wife videotaped each lesson. “Their thinking was they could look at the video in the middle of the Pacific,” Gonsorowski said. “They had a complete library of service tasks.”

Interior Details Cleaning the interior of a boat is different from the exterior, because food is often involved. Fat-based food is hard to get out once it gets ground in. Use a mild solution of water and dish detergent to clean the interior and the upholstery. That will take the grease out. Citrus-based cleaners from 3M, CRC, West Marine or Rust-Oleum can lift stains from upholstery and easily be wiped or washed away. Or just take a lemon or an orange, cut it in half, and rub it on the stain. Odors can get trapped in the V-berth from the head or galley. Place an egg carton filled with regular charcoal briquettes on or near the berth. The charcoal will draw in the odors and help remove them. Baking soda also works to trap odors. 58 SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

When it comes to your boat’s electronics, be sure at a minimum to use a moisture-displacing lubricant spray to protect the connections.

Circulate Air Down There An engine room should be kept as dry as possible when not in use, to prevent corrosion. “If you are storing the boat for a while, block the engine room vents so cold, wet air can’t get in,” Gonsorowski said. “Then put a fan or heater in to keep the air moving. I have gone down in engine rooms in November and December, and everything is soaking wet. There is no air circulating and things start to deteriorate in the humidity.” If you decide to use the boat, removing the blocks on engine vents is a simple task, and you can quickly be on your way.

A Gentle Touch In the saltwater environment, the idea

TO THE WEB Find out more about boat maintenance and the services mentioned in this story.

is to displace the salt water without using harsh chemicals. Soapy water is the strongest solution you should use. Use a sponge or a soft-bristle brush, mild detergent and lots of water on a boat’s exterior, and give the boat a freshwater bath. In addition, care must be taken with the windshield — even using glass cleaner can cause permanent damage. Plexiglas windows and windscreens are acrylic and should only be cleaned with water and a soft cloth that won’t scratch. Glass cleaner has ammonia in it, and if you use that you are going to destroy the windshield by breaking down the acrylic, and the windshield will haze and crack. Once that happens, you can’t buff it or sand it out.

BELT & SUSPENDERS

These 30 onboard backups will keep you from getting caught with your pants down.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

oats break. That’s the first rule of boating. And stuff on boats breaks at the most inopportune time, which leads to the corollary, Shipboard Calamity and Chaos. Stuff rarely goes wrong when a boat is in the slip, just a short jaunt from the chandlery. It does, however, hit the proverbial fan out on the water, which is why onboard backups and redundancies are necessary. Whether you’re running to Catalina, circumnavigating Vancouver Island, going offshore for a big fish or really going the distance to Alaska or Mexico, you’ll want some extra gear aboard — just in case. The seriousness of your backup gear is directly related to the size and complexity of your vessel and where and how you boat. Offshore passagemaking will require real system redundancies, while coastal cruises necessitate only minimal investment in extra stuff. Here, we explore the key additions to have aboard — a list of supplementary equipment to the existing systems and survival gear you may already have.

COMMUNICATIONS, NAVIGATION & SAFETY When the unexpected happens, it’s important to be able to communicate and call for help or be able to get yourself home safely. 1 / Handheld VHF

To supplement your ship’s radio, it’s important to have one (or more) handheld VHF radios. Their reach may not be the same as the vessel’s installed VHF, which is more powerful and has an antenna installed somewhere up high, but when the electrical system goes down or even just the primary VHF is kaput, having a few inexpensive — $150 will get you a nice one — VHF radios is critical.

2 / Electronic Flares

Traditional flares are mandatory equipment, but if you’re a bit forgetful about checking the expiration dates, try the $100 Sirius Signal SOS-flashing LED electronic flare. It’s a U.S. Coast Guard-approved light that will last much longer than flares, which need replacement. (It’s best to carry both, because if you need them, you really need them.)

3 / Laser Pointer

Traditional and electronic flares are a passive alert, requiring someone to be looking around in order to spot you. A high-powered laser pointer (approximately $100) will let you target an assistance vessel more actively and will be visible for several miles. In an emergency, this is a good supplementary item to your regular flare kit.

4 / Handheld GPS

You may have 20-inch multifunction displays networked to every possible system aboard, but MFDs are also the primary source of navigation information. If they malfunction, you can pull out a sextant (highly unlikely) or a handheld GPS that will at least provide speed and latitude/longitude position. Most such units sell for less than $100, so get several, because you never know when your boat might get hit by lightning and black out.

5/ Paper Charts

How old school, right? But paper charts should be on every boat, because electronic navigation isn’t foolproof and because it’s just plain good seamanship. A handheld GPS will be that much more useful when you can plot your position and progress on a real chart.

6/ Hand-bearing Compass

You should have a traditional magnetic compass aboard in addition to a gyro compass. But if the navigation suite goes down, it’s not easy to sight across an installed compass to get bearings. A simple hand-bearing compass may save the day. Many simple models retail for less than $50.

Navigation apps such as the iNavX from Navionics, satellite positioning devices from Spot and Delorme, and electronic flares such as the Sirius Signal SOS (left) are important backups.

8/31/16 8:48 AM

7/ Satellite Positioning Device

You don’t need to buy a sat phone to have backup satellite communication when you go offshore. Affordable devices such as the Spot personal GPS tracker will broadcast your position and allow you to send a few canned messages to anyone on your distribution list. For two-way communication of no more than 160 characters, check out Delorme’s InReach Explorer, which even allows you text to a cellphone. Both devices require subscription plans, but the basics cost less than $35 per month for InReach and $150 per year for Spot.

A spare water pump — pumps of all kinds, really — and extra filters should be on board, especially for longer journeys.

8/ Apps

Today’s apps for smartphones and tablets are no less than mind-blowing in both their capability and their affordability. Backup navigation with a Navionics app will get you home when the onboard system is on the fritz. Most other apps are less than $5, so load up. Some examples include apps for AIS (ShipFinder), anchor alarm (DragQueen), tides (TidesNearMe) and more. If you need a departure checklist, a way to find a nearby fuel dock or a quick reference for the rules of the road, there’s an app for that.

9/ Weather

Here’s another use for apps. Weather Underground, AccuWeather, Buoy Weather, and others are apps that let you check the weather before you leave or when you’re already out and conditions deteriorate. These apps only work within cellphone range, so remember to check weather on the VHF or Sirius radio. Weather Underground

MECHANICAL MUST-HAVES Depending on your handiness, you may or may not be able to use all the extra spares and tools that your boat can carry. Not every afternoon outing will require a diesel mechanic, but it’s good to at least have the equipment aboard and hope to run into someone who can help you fix a problem on the spot with the necessary items at hand. 10/ Spares

This can be an endless list depending on the complexity of your vessel, and you should know how to change each of these yourself to make them useful spares. Even for short weekending coastal cruises, at the very least, you should carry pump impellers, belts, hoses, clamps, gaskets and filters (water, fuel, oil).

11 / Serious Spares

If you’re a DIY guru and are heading for distant shores, you’ll need a more serious set of spare parts to get you through mechanical breakdowns. Consider at least a starter motor, a voltage regulator and an alternator for the big boat, and a spare outboard for the dinghy. Some cruisers will even carry a portable genset for on-deck use in case of total electrical meltdown on the primary vessel.

12 / Swapping Gear

Sometimes, your backup will already be aboard. Our genset and engine have the same alternators and voltage regulators, so they can be swapped between the equipment if one goes down. The same goes for our washdown and sump pumps. A dual Racor system is the best backup for dealing with bad fuel, and although 62

you won’t exactly swap one for the other, you can simply switch between them at the first sign of trouble.

13 / Tools

You won’t get far in your mechanical endeavors without some basic tools, which you may already have aboard. We keep two or three versions of the following, because these tools have a way of migrating into the bilge or jumping overboard: pliers of various sizes, vice grips, crescent wrenches, knives, multitools, screwdrivers, a socket wrench (standard and metric), electrical tape, duct tape and selfadhering silicone tape.

14 / Fuses

Easy to change, fuses can stand between you and a fun weekend, whether they’re for an electric head, the windlass or the refrigerator. Carry many in various sizes and know where your fuse panel is. Tape the correctly sized fuse near where it will need to go and replace the spare as soon as possible after using one.

15/ Pumps!

OK, there’s just no end to this one. There are probably in excess of a dozen pumps on your

SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

+ Sea feature backups.indd 62

8/31/16 8:49 AM

boat, including fresh water, salt water, head, macerator, A/C, fuel, oil, hydraulics, engine water pump, refrigeration and so on. For weekend trips, at least an engine water pump would be a good spare. For longer voyages, consider carrying one of each — and the tools and knowledge to change them.

16/ Bilge Pumps & Buckets

The old saying claims there is nothing more motivated than a man with a bucket on a sinking boat. True, but scary. Carry spares of both electric and manual bilge pumps. Have at least two small manual pumps — one for the dinghy and one to get to hard-to-reach places on the big boat. You can never carry enough plastic buckets, if only because they tend to fly off the stern in a windy anchorage and nobody ever sees them go.

17/ Fluids

Fluids are the easiest to stock and are often the culprits in a system failure. Engine oil, hydraulic fluid, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and a jerry can of diesel, gas or water may save the day or the weekend — or even the boat. Keep fluid levels up as a matter of course, because just keeping an extra supply on board isn’t a substitute for routine system maintenance. Stow fluids properly and check them periodically, because old gas that has been sitting a while will cause more problems than it will solve.

Waterproof lights and some snorkeling equipment can come in handy to replace a dinged prop.

OTHER STUFF These items defy easy categorization, so we’ve lumped them together here. Some are safety equipment while others are true backups. No matter what you call them, they’ll come in handy.

18/ Battery Booster

If you run down batteries due to a short circuit or a long night of partying and running the lights, the refrigerator and the stereo, you may need a jump in the morning, especially if your start and house banks are not isolated. There are multiple booster packs available that will get one engine or a genset going. You can buy small ones for less than $100, strong but portable ones such as those from Weego (myweego.com) for under $200, or get a massive, marinized version such as ArkPak (arkportablepower.com) for a few hundred dollars more.

19/ Personal Electronics Battery Booster

If the onboard electronics suite has called it quits and you’re navigating home via an app on a tablet, make sure it has enough juice. Battery packs for personal electronics are small, easy to use and most will cost under $20, so carry a few. Make sure to keep them charged, because two dead batteries are no better than one.

20/ Spare Prop

If you ding or lose a prop, it will not be an easy fix, but sometimes it needs to be done. Carry at least one prop (even on twin-screw vessels) and the washer, nuts and tools to change them — underwater. (See mask and snorkel below.)

21 / Boathook

Whether it’s for picking up a mooring line, lifting a flap of canvas or pulling the dinghy closer for boarding, boathooks have many uses. Unfortunately, they don’t all float and are often lost overboard. Boathooks are inexpensive and fairly easy to stow, so get two or three and rest assured that you’ll be able to reach most things aboard.

22/ Mask & Snorkel 22

Consider carrying foam plugs that can be made to fit a variety of small openings.

Not just for fun, a mask and snorkel (and even fins) may come in handy if a line gets wrapped around the prop or the prop is dinged by an underwater obstacle, or if you need to check on the anchor. If you’re a serious voyager and certified, dive equipment could come in handy, too.

23/ Spare Anchor & Rode

Most serious cruisers will carry at least two different types of anchor to use in various bottom conditions. Sometimes, you may need a second anchor to set fore and aft hooks in a tight anchorage or to put two off the bow to secure your spot in a blow. And there may be a time you just have to cut the anchor loose in an emergency, so make sure you have another one with some chain and a rope rode. SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

8/31/16 8:49 AM

PLANNING Arguably the next three elements could be part of communication and safety, but they’re so comprehensive we broke them out separately. 28/ Float Plan

With today’s digital tools, it’s easy and fast to file a float plan so your friends, family or commercial assistance service can check on you if you don’t arrive at a specific place at a previously set time. The basics of a float plan include your name, your vessel’s name/type/ size/etc., your itinerary, the number of people aboard and contact information. You can file one with your marine towing service or via an app to notify your family where you’re going and when you’ll be back. Flashlights and fresh batteries should be stashed all over the boat.

24/ Plugs

You should already have wooden through-hull plugs tied to each through-hull handle. But if the hole you put in your boat is not the shape of a through-hull or is a bit bigger, consider carrying foam plugs that can be made to fit a variety of small openings. Forespar has orange traffic-cone-shaped chunks of high-density foam that can be stuffed into holes of odd shapes and sizes to stop water ingress.

25/ Block & Tackle

So you’re not a sailor. That doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from extra line and a block-andtackle to help hoist things aboard, tie things down or generally help with mechanical leverage. A few blocks and a good length of line may help you lift the dinghy aboard if your crane is broken or hold a flopper-stopper in a rolling anchorage.

26/ Lights & Batteries

There is simply no excuse for not having a dozen functioning flashlights aboard. This includes handheld LED torches, headlamps, hand-crank flashlights and even a powerful handheld searchlight for when the one on deck goes out. Dive lights are waterproof and have serious lumens for penetration above and below the waterline. Make sure each light has 64

29/ Commercial Towing Service

fresh batteries and carry all the appropriate sizes (e.g., AA, AAA, D, C).

27/ Medical Supplies

Medical kits aboard are a given. Their comprehensiveness depends on you, your crew and your boating adventures. Make sure to supplement your kit with medications you normally take along but may forget for the weekend. Toss in a pair of reading glasses and make sure to check the expiration of your medications at least annually. If you have serious allergies, add an EpiPen, and if someone on your crew has a tricky ticker, spring for an AED, because it could save a life in a way CPR never will.

Adventure Medical Kit Marine 1000

No boater wants to find himself on the wrong end of a towline but stuff happens, so be prepared. Yes, your boat insurance probably has a minimal provision for towing, but the usual $500 will not get you far. BoatUS and SeaTow memberships are typically less than $200 annually, and are worth it if you need assistance, including fuel delivery, jumpstarts or towing.

30/ Emergency Procedures Plan

Finally, there’s no better preparation than a written plan outlining necessary actions in a variety of onboard emergencies. Think through, write down and share with your crew what to do in various scenarios. Have a prioritized duty list in case of fire, water ingress, electrical failure, propulsion malfunction, medical emergency, deteriorating weather and sea state, and a man-overboard situation. Does everyone aboard know where the fuel shutoff valve is or how to call for help on the radio? Once you run through the procedures, your list of backup equipment will probably grow.

Most likely, you can think of another 20 items to add to your boating kit. The line between standard emergency equipment and true backups will blur quickly, but your system redundancies will grow exponentially and make things more convenient as well as more safe. It’s better to have both belt and suspenders than to find yourself with your pants down around the ankles.

Sea: Do you have a boat? What type of boat is your favorite? Betsy: I have a 36-foot wooden doubleended raised-deck cruiser from 1914 called Glorybe. I love wooden boats for their personality and their craftsmanship. Double-enders are boats that come to a point on both ends. Christina: I have a 26-foot gaff cutter, and allegedly it was the first large vessel built at the school in 1981. Her name is Virginia. If you talk with some of the alumni and staff, they’ll talk about lofting her and getting her into the archive, and there are many photos of her construction. It’s really neat because the boat school built Virginia. If you went into the Sea Magazine archive, you’d find a story about Glorybe, and I went to the school that rebuilt Glorybe. She was refurbished at Seattle Central Marine Carpentry School. I think stories like these underscore how important schools are for teaching how crafts were made. There are many different skills needed to build and maintain a wooden boat, and it’s a great way to practice craftsmanship in general. It can be applied to many different career paths.

working on interiors. Some use the skills they’ve learned working with wood to build homes or tiny houses. Some use the skills they’ve learned about composites to even go into aerospace. The most unusual graduate went on to work on multistory organs. Working with woods, craftsmanship, carefulness and quality are all common threads in these lines of work. Another student is a bow maker, for violins.

Students learn with hands-on experience at NWSWB.

How did you become involved with the NWSWB? Betsy: I started here a year and a half ago, because I got to take my dream job here. I love the natural environment. I love being around these boats being built. I believe it’s really important, so I’m happy to put my energy toward preserving craftsmanship. Prior to this I ran the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle, for 11 years. Christina: I lived in Florida my whole life, and my boyfriend found this school after he finished training as a helicopter pilot. He decided he loved boats more and he wanted to do something with his hands, so we moved to Port Hadlock, he enrolled in the school and graduated in 2014. Along the way I met Becky through mutual friends and started working here. Now my boyfriend is building carbon-fiber ocean-racing boats. Learning the traditional skills at this school really set him up to be prepared for more contemporary skills. At its essence, the school is a post-secondary program, which is 12 months long, and students can choose between traditional small craft, traditional large craft or contemporary boat building. The purpose of the school is to preserve the craft of building wooden boats. No longer can you apprentice under a master boat builder to learn his trade, and that’s why there’s a need for a specialized school such as this. What kind of opportunities are available for graduates? Betsy: Most students go into boat building, primarily repairs or

What are the favorite programs for veterans? What draws them to particular programs? Betsy: Veterans are in the exact same educational programs as everyone else. Veterans appreciate the extra services that help them connect to the services that they have earned; we help them connect with the VA for certain things. We received a grant that is helping us support veteran students at the school and also veterans in the broader community. You’re referring to the grant from the Rotary Club of East Jefferson County for your contributions and support to the veterans. What do you plan to do with the grant money? Betsy: We were awarded by the state of Washington a Vetcorp position, and their funding is going to pay for a portion of the salary for the worker. The agency who manages it will pay a stipend. The whole purpose is to improve society and to make sure that the veterans connect with the services that they have earned and get the support that they need. What does the future look like for the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding? Christina: What I see for the future of the boat school is it’s more on a societal philosophical perspective. There’s not a lot of my generation (a millennial) who are learning these skills anymore. We’re losing the skills that were always previously being passed on from generation to generation. We will be carrying on these vital skills. We completed a yearlong strategic planning process and will be investing in building our capacity here at the Port Hadlock heritage campus. The school (nwswb.edu) offers a free tour of the campus and boatshops the first Friday of each month at 3:30 p.m.

Guest moorage services include water, 20-, 30-, 50- and 100-amp power, and Wi-Fi service. Additional marina services include restrooms, showers, garbage service and a pumpout. Ashore is the landscaped Phil Simon Memorial Park 2 , which overlooks the harbor. With its tables and barbecue pits, it’s a perfect place to have a picnic or just sit, relax and enjoy the view. For the scuba diver on board, just offshore of the park is Langley’s manmade reef, composed of thousands of tires, wood logs and tons of chains. The reef is home to octopi, crab and fish of all kinds.

STROLL THROUGH THE VILLAGE

ALSO KNOWN AS THE VILLAGE by the Sea, Langley is a charming waterfront community with a population just over 1,100 people. Established by German immigrant Jacob Anthes in 1890, located on the east side of Whidbey Island and within easy cruising distance of the Seattle/Tacoma area, Langley has grown to include a marina and a variety of shops and restaurants, and it offers several events that appeal to both the cruising couple and the whole family. The village sits on a high embankment overlooking the dark blue waters of Saratoga Passage, where it exudes charm and features shopkeepers who are genuinely friendly when you step across their threshold.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL The Langley Boat Harbor 1 , is operated by the Port of South Whidbey. The addition of D and E docks in the spring of 2014 significantly increased guest moorage to more than 600 feet, making the docking

Langley is a walker’s paradise. The village’s commercial area measures a couple of square blocks and is easily walkable. The meandering, flowered walkways are packed with art galleries, bookstores, a museum, antique shops, boutiques, souvenir shops and specialty shops. Along 1st Street is the village’s iconic bronze sculpture of a boy leaning on a railing and gazing out to sea, his small dog lying beside him. You can walk down some stairs that lead to a promenade and public beach. A little farther up 1st, steps lead down to a promenade and public beach. In the center of town is the well-stocked Star Mercantile 3 , in case you need provisions. At the Chocolate Flower Farm 4 , you’ll find house-made chocolate raspberry jam and floral bouquets. And for more sweets, a must-stop is Sweet Mona’s 5 for some of her delicious chocolates and caramels.

TASTE OF LANGLEY This is not Seattle, but you can still find a great cup of joe. At Useless Bay Coffee Co. 6 , you can enjoy a latte made with honey

The village has no shortage of restaurants and cafes. The Village Pizzeria 8 is a favorite of the locals thanks to New Yorkstyle pies. The window-lined dining area faces the water, and on a clear day you can see the snow-capped Cascades. The view is equally as stunning across the street at Prima Bistro 9 . I suggest getting a table on the rooftop terrace and enjoying some French-inspired cuisine. Another great restaurant is Café Langley 10 — Mediterranean cuisine and candle-lit tables.

READY, SET, GO

THERE ARE MANY THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR YOUR FIRST VOYAGE ALONG THE INSIDE PASSAGE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

It’s wise to be prepared for anything during a cruise of the Inside Passage.

WHO AMONG US HASN’T DAYDREAMED about the ultimate cruise up the beautiful and breathtaking Inside Passage? The one where you depart in May or June and are self-sufficient until returning home in September. For many boaters, it’s just that, a dream for whatever reason. It can be time constraints, the fear of the unknown, uncertainty of boating skills, the open-water passages or the thought having to transit saltwater rapids. It doesn’t need to be just a dream. Once you make the decision to go, the following are helpful tips for a safe and enjoyable experience.

KNOW EVERY INCH OF YOUR BOAT A basic prerequisite is you need to be familiar with the operation and inner-workings of your boat before leaving the dock. But ask yourself: Do you know the location of every through-hull fitting? If you begin to smell burning electrical wires, can you access your battery-disconnect switches easily? When was the last time you inspected the steering gear?

LIBRARY ON BOARD Establish a library of owner manuals

for each piece of equipment, such as the motor, transmission, refrigeration, head equipment, winch, electronics, galley equipment, steering and hydraulic systems, to name a few. They will be invaluable should you experience a problem or need to perform some preventative maintenance or troubleshoot an issue.

CARRY SPARE PARTS The farther north you travel, there are few, if any, places to find spares. Carry at least the following: • Fuel filters. Most important, follow your engine, generator and furnace manufacturers’ recommendation for each filter element’s micron rating. They’re inexpensive, don’t take up much room and they

don’t go bad if sealed in plastic wrap. • Alternator belts. Stow at least one

complete set of new belts for all enginedriven gear, such as alternators and water pumps. • Impellers. Have one spare impeller for the motor and generator. • Spare fluids. Before departure, check coolant, engine oil and hydraulic-steering and trim tab systems for leaks and fluid levels. Carry spare fluid of the correct type.

TOOL BAG Having spares on board is a wonderful thing when in the wilderness, but they serve no purpose if you don’t have the tools required to install them. Every boater should carry at least a minimal assortment of hand tools on board. The size of the tool bag and the selection of tools will obviously vary with the size and type of boat you own and with the kind of cruising you do. However, no matter the size of your particular boat, there is a basic set of

PNW-8 SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016

+ Sea NWRegionals new.indd 8

8/31/16 12:16 PM

essential tools that you need aboard every vessel for making emergency repairs as well as for performing routine maintenance procedures. Most engine manufacturers provide a complete list of required tools for performing maintenance and repairs. Then there are those tools that make things go easier: • Hearing protection • Headlamp • Magnetic wand • Telescoping mirror • Multimeter • Wire strippers • Multitool • Rubber mallet • Strap wrench • Putty knife/scraper

SHARPEN YOUR NAVIGATION SKILLS Know the Rules of the Road, basic navigation skills and how to operate the onboard electronics. Have a complete set of paper charts and study them. If your

electronics fail, you can fall back on the paper ones. Be aware of wind and currents that can push you onto a hostile shore or rocks. Make tide and current awareness part of your pre-departure checklist. Ensure you know the time, strength and direction of tidal currents. Most electronic software has a very easy-to-use tide function. I also keep a tide table in my onboard library just in case my electronics fail.

SEMINARS AND FLOTILLAS A good way to prepare for your first-time cruise along the Inside Passage is to attend seminars. They are offered during boat shows or by organizations and companies throughout the year. They address such topics as what to expect, how to prepare, clearing Canadian and U.S. Customs, route planning, navigation, weather, transiting rapids, straits and open water. There are also guided flotilla cruises, which are like floating seminars with

experienced guides educating participants along the way and where you share your experience with other like-minded boaters.

CONTACT CELLPHONE PROVIDER If your float plan includes crossing the border, contact your carrier before you leave, and make sure you are signed up for international service. Most phone service is available near populated areas. An alternative, once across the border, is to purchase a Canadian subscriber identity module (SIM) card, which is a small chip with information that identifies and authenticates a device on a cellphone network. Once the current carrier’s card is removed and replaced with the Canadian SIM, you pay local rates for calling data and texts. The downside is your phone becomes a Canadian phone and you won’t receive calls or text messages at your normal phone number until you re-insert your original SIM card.

your mate take a first aid course. Knowing how to dress a wound to stop bleeding, or brace somebody until help arrives, will make a crucial difference. Also, take a CPR course. In recent years it has become popular with cruisers to equip their boat with an automated external defibrillator (AED) to address cardiac arrest. Make sure you have enough of your prescription medications in prescription containers and an emergency supply of wide-spectrum antibiotics, prescribed by your doctor. Also ensure your onboard first aid kit is well stocked to cover any emergency situation.

MEMORIES The basic necessities and replacement parts are needed when traveling long distances.

PREPARE TO LOSE INTERNET ACCESS If your boat has satellite internet access, great; otherwise, don’t count on it until you reach populated areas. A Wi-Fi antenna and booster mounted high on the radar arch can mean the difference between having and not having an internet connection strong enough to handle email and surfing the Web. There are many options for these units. On Easy Goin’ we installed an Ubiquiti Bullet II and multidirectional Wi-Fi antenna.

DON’T PACK TOO MUCH FOOD U.S. and Canadian customs regulations

are a bit confusing and constantly changing. Once across the borders, you can provision fresh fruits, vegetables and meats before you head into the wilderness. North of the U.S./Canadian border, there are plenty of opportunities in Vancouver, Ganges and Sydney. North of the B.C./ Alaska line, a good selection of provisions is available in Ketchikan.

FIRST AID, CPR AND MEDICAL KIT There’s nothing worse than seeing a loved one wounded or sick — except maybe being unable to do anything about it. Buy the best kit you can afford, then ensure you and

As wonderful as memories of a cruise up the Inside Passage may be, you will want a more tangible memory. Make sure the digital camera is always charged and there are spare memory cards. A picture, after all, is worth a thousand words, and sometimes that’s what’s needed to convey the wonder of the experience, to prove the stories you tell are actually true, or just for a future stroll down memory lane.

DON’T TRY TO KEEP A TIGHT SCHEDULE Weather conditions in the Inside Passage are usually good, but there are occasions when it’s best to hole up and wait out inclement weather. Conditions can become extremely difficult, and cruises are delayed for a day or two. The best practice is to schedule lay days into your float plan.

THESE DIVES HAVE RAISED THE BAR

DIVE BARS BY THE SEASHORE; THERE IS ALWAYS ONE MORE TO EXPLORE. BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE A ROUGH day on your boat. Maybe it’s an unexpected mechanical hiccup or inclement weather. Boaters get stressed, too, and need to unwind with a cheap spirited beverage and some bar food. But where can one find cheap libations and grub, into the wee hours, and by the harbor? A dive bar. The term “dive” is a reference to the illegal drinking dens in the 1880s that were usually in the basement of a building, so patrons would dive into them. While the establishments are now legal — and typically at street level — there’s still an aura to a dive bar that often pairs well with boaters’ sensibilities.

6 So what exactly is a dive bar? Well, it’s loosely defined but — to paraphrase Justice Potter Stewart — you’ll know it when you smell it. A real dive is usually an establishment that has been around for a decade or five, serves cheap drinks, and has a floor that is likely sticky. If you plan to patronize one, it’s probably a good idea to bring cash, as many dives do not take plastic. A good dive bar requires a devout following of locals who frequent it. There are many great and infamous dive bars by the seashore. Here are a few you can try out while cruising California.

DOWN SOUTH Pacific Shores 1 is a hop, skip and a jump away from the Ocean Beach Pier and is known for its unique black-light lighting scheme, inexpensive drinks and a cash-only bar. The Kraken Bar and Restaurant 2 is footsteps from Cardiff State Beach and is a total biker bar complete with a pool table and live music. A small kitchen in the back provides delicious tri-tip sandwiches. The Tilted Stick 3 is a few streets away from Smiley Lagoon in Mission Bay. It serves delicious breakfast sandwiches and has plenty of televisions for any game. Tilted Stick is also a dog-friendly bar. Make sure you review the succinct “Stick Rules” sign if you’re confused about any of the protocols there. SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2016 CA-1

SAN PEDRO Utro’s Café 4 is a hidden gem on Berth 73. You can grab a cold one and watch all the fishing boats pass by in the harbor, but be sure to arrive early, as Utro’s is only open during the morning and afternoon. The Whale & Ale 5 is another favorite of the locals, thanks to delicious traditional English pub fare and suds to wash it down. Try the beef Wellington, one of the most popular items on the menu.

The Rudder Room 9 in Oxnard is a local’s watering hole with a fantastic view. This particular dive has direct access to the beach; you can even see it through the back window of the bar. If the mood strikes, you can even bring your brew onto the sand to enjoy the crisp air with your sunset.

MONTEREY When in Monterey, of course sample all the clam chowder you can on the pier, but when you get thirsty, there are plenty of dive bars around to quench your thirst. Carbone’s 10 is an institution — dart boards, air hockey, pool tables and live turtle racing. What more could you want from a dive bar? Sade’s 11 is also a local favorite and still allows smoking indoors. Sade’s is definitely a place for beer and whiskey and a good cigar.

PRETTY IN PLATINUM NEWPORT BEACH’S SCHOCK BOATS IS CELEBRATING ITS 70TH YEAR. BY COTY DOLORES MIRANDA

SEVENTY YEARS AGO, BETTY SCHOCK convinced her husband, Bill, that his avocation as a boat builder, honed since his teenage years in Hollywood, should become his vocation. W.D. “Bill” Schock concurred and in 1946 began the business that has branched and evolved into Schock Boats (schockboats.com) on Newport Beach’s Balboa Peninsula. It remains a family-owned and -operated affair, enjoying a rich history that began

with a boy who loved boats, built them to enjoy summers in Newport Harbor, and then sold them each fall so he could buy more materials to craft a newer one in his family’s garage. One of two businesses that grew from that effort is Schock Boats — located on the water in the historic Cannery Village a half-block from Bill Schock’s original tin building — which changed leadership last September, but remains in the family. With Steve Schock and wife Ruth Schock now serving as president and vice president, the previous company heads, Scott and Marie Schock, who oversaw the firm for four decades, now serve on the board of directors. The former W. D. Schock Corp., which was the sailboat-building side of the family business first operated by elder brother Tom Schock and located in Corona, Calif., was sold five years ago. He and wife Jane retired to Montana. While family members agree they look forward to the continued growth of the 70-year-old business, they’re proud to recount the humble beginnings that began with a boy and a boat.

ONCE UPON A TIME…

From Left to Right: Scott and Marie Schock (left) have retired from the day-to-day duties of running Schock Boats, having turned the reins of the 70-yearold business over to founder Bill’s youngest son Steve and his wife, Ruth, last fall.

“Dad grew up in Hollywood, and every summer his folks would rent a house in Newport,” said Steve Schock. “Each winter, starting at about age 14, dad would send away for plans for a canoe or small boat, and then build it in the family’s garage. He’d enjoy it in the waters around Newport, and then at summer’s end, he’d sell it and have enough money to buy materials to build a new one.” Family members recall that their father was not only good with wood, but mechanically inclined, too. W.D. Schock studied aviation mechanics and engineering at the University of Southern California and worked for Northrup, Cal Aero and Major Moseley Flight Academy before being drafted during World War II. During his war years as a U.S. Air Force corporal, he taught flying and airplane mechanics, and ferried generals by air while based in Texas. “When he got out, he said he didn’t care to see another airplane as long as he lived,”

DECK OUT YOUR BOAT WITH NEW MARINE FLOORING said Steve. “He went back to building boats.” By this time, Schock’s parents had purchased a Newport Beach house, and once again, Schock commandeered their garage for his building bay. He was building an International 14 one afternoon when one of Newport’s better known local sailors, Sally Short, walked by and, admiring the boat, said she’d like Schock to build her one. According to family lore, Schock replied, “You can buy this one!” And the rest is history. He and his wife opened the 35-by-70-foot tin building on Lafayette Road, nailing up a literal shingle that read “Schock Boats.” She ran the front office and he built his boats in back. They were married 50 years before W.D. died in 1991; Betty followed in 2012. Originally the company produced handcrafted boats such as the Lehman 10 dinghy, the Lido 14 and the Lehman 14. His expertise and reputation grew until it was one of the West Coast’s largest builders of sailing

HANDS-ON SHOP His three sons learned at his right hand. “It was dad’s policy that you had to have a job each summer — work for him or somewhere else, but work. We all worked at the factory,” said Steve. Schock Boats’ new president is also a

boat designer with some impressive craft on his roster, including the Schock 35, Santana 23R, Harbor 20, Harbor 25, Harbor 30 and Alura 30. “I’ve actually spent most of my time in manufacturing and design,” said Steve, who met his wife, Ruth, a former competitive sailor, when both were engineers at an Orange County firm. “I grew up sailing on San Francisco Bay,”

she said. “I had a Schock sailboat 10 years before I met Steve.” Until last year, Scott and Marie Schock were the day-to-day leaders, but they retired after 44 years. (They were one-year newlywed when they took control.) They now serve as advisers and spend time between their homes in Newport Beach, Kona (where their Grady-White is moored), Palm Springs, and now with their monthsold granddaughter in Montara, Calif. Marie said the decades spent at the Schock Boats helm brought great joy as they helped many families and individuals take possession of a new boat — often their first. “It was fun! And the best parts were all the relationships we formed with employees, customers, vendors. We looked forward to going into work because of the people. We were grateful for every single day, and are glad it remains in the family,” Marie said.

As Steve and Ruth Schock near the beginning of their second year, they agree that just like W.D. and Betty, working at Schock Boats is, well, not really work. “I can honestly say we’re not working when we are having this much fun,” Steve said. “And Ruth and I enjoy being together. Schock Boats allows us to do that.” A Grady-White Boats distributor since 1988, Schock Boats now sells only GradyWhite new boats, but it also stocks used boats of premium brands including GradyWhite and Boston Whaler. The team also continues as a full-service outboard motor repair shop with Yamaha Outboard and Mercury Outboard factorycertified technicians, and parts and sales of both brands. Schock Boats is well-respected as a complete ship’s store with a trained service department peopled with longtime employees. Other work done on site includes fiberglass and gelcoat repair, boat detailing, electronics installations, bottom painting, custom canvas covers and canvas repair, new interior upholstery and repair, and more. Its haulout crane handles up to 20,000 pounds and boats of modern construction up to 37 feet.

OCTOBER’S QUESTION:

With all the online resources out there, it seems like I should be able to arrive at a reasonable price for my yacht, and even save some money on commission. What am I missing? For our answer to this month’s question, we turn to our own pages. The August issue of Sea included a feature written by Doug Thompson that delved into the reasons why buying or selling a yacht on one’s own might not be such a great idea. Here is a portion relevant to this question. 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

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

Evaluating a yacht’s true worth is complicated and based on many factors. 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



that to establish a fair market. A seller establishing a price on his own might underestimate the cost of repairs needed to bring the yacht up to an acceptable level. Some buyers might see a low-priced yacht

with some work to be done as a prize, but for others, 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.
