DON’T GET HOLIDAZED D

ECEMBER IS UPON us. As difficult as that might

be to believe, it’s true. Another boating season has come and gone. More destinations have been visited. More DIY projects have been added to the list (and maybe a couple have even been finished). More hours have been put on the engines and more miles have passed beneath the hull. But now, things have slowed down, maybe way down. It’s convenient, therefore, that as boaters’ minds turn to next year and they think of the things their boat can use, we enter gift-giving (and receiving) season. Whether a boater on your list (or you) needs something small, something large, something practical or something just because, this is the time of year to splurge and accommodate such wishes. And our annual Gift Guide can help. We have fun putting the guide together. The process for next year’s guide actually begins about, well, now. I have an email folder labeled Gift Guide, and I populate it all year. We begin winnowing the options starting in August and try to have the list final by late September. Yes, September. If you think the holiday season is long

for you, try thinking about it in earnest before the kids are even back in school. Now the guide is here. Put it to good use. A couple of months ago, I suggested that everyone get out there and see familiar places through new eyes, making even the most common stops fresh. Our cruising feature this month, starting on page 18, does just that. Regular contributor Deane Hislop and his wife, Arlene, usually head north from their Anacortes homeport, but their cruising window this year was short, so they stayed closer to home and headed south through Puget Sound to Olympia. They visited a number of familiar locations and managed to find something new and different at many of them, ranging from a new place to eat to new docks, shore power and shower facilities. It was a cruise through the customary with an emphasis on the unknown. So that about wraps it up for 2016. We’ve had fun and hope you have, too. Stay tuned in 2017 to see what yachts, gear, accessories and destinations we can find for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out with suggestions of your own; we like hearing from you. Happy holidays!

CORRECTION In a photo caption on page 61 of our October issue, we wrote that iNavX is a Navionics product. That is incorrect. While iNavX is compatible with Navionics navigation charts, it is a standalone app that can turn one’s phone or tablet into a handheld chartplotter. We apologize for the error.

MODE RN TH ROWBACK THE SUITE 47 FROM KIFARU LOOKS MODERN AND COOL, BUT IT ADDS A BIT OF RETRO CHIC.

Kifaru Yachts is still a relative newcomer on the yacht-building scene, having been founded in 2009, but its striking designs, including the Askari 657 HT and Baby models, have been turning heads. The latest addition to the Italian builder’s lineup is the Suite 47, a dayboat that looks fully modern but retains a bit of the “gentleman cruiser” feel of the 1920s and ’30s. Constructed of fiberglass or aluminum, the Suite 47 features a near-plumb bow, a flush foredeck with a large sunpad, and an open cockpit with room for about 10 people to sit on bench settees port and starboard (both with a table), a settee aft (which is the forward part of the sunpad) and a captain’s chair. The helm is on the centerline and forward of amidships, behind a classic-looking swept-back windshield. A day galley is on the starboard side and includes a refrigerator, a sink and countertop space. Early indications are the accommodations in the Luca Dini-designed yacht will be fully customizable. Belowdecks, owners can choose one or two cabins. Hull #1 will have two. With one cabin, the galley can move down. Either way, crew quarters are included and owners have control over the furnishings. We didn’t find speed estimates for the Suite 47, but power options for the near 46-footer include a Volvo Penta IPS 1200 or twin IPS 900 engines. Either of those choices should be enough to get the Kifaru going rapidly, though we’re willing to guess the boat will spend a lot of time idling around the lake or puttering through the harbor.

A NEW CLASS OF STABILITY— INTRODUCING THE

SEAKEEPER 3 BIGGEST SMALLEST THING YET

INTRODUCING STABILIZATION FOR EVERYONE

It took incredible innovation to put the first man on the moon. The computer aboard the lunar module weighed about 70 pounds. The mainframe back on Earth that provided most of the real computing power for the mission cost about $3.5 million and was the size of a car. This was the beginning of a new era of technological innovation.

Not so long ago, the only way to reduce boat roll was to install attachments like bilge keels, paravanes, and stabilizer fins on the outside of vessels. These systems can be effective, but they’re designed for large boats and require cumbersome additions that create increased drag and can be easily damaged. Mainstream boaters with 30-foot vessels were still waiting for an elegant solution that eliminated the problem that was making so many passengers queasy and cutting short trips on the SEAKEEPER 3 water.

Today, we carry exponentially more processing power in our pockets. A smart phone can process commands 1,200,000 times faster than the computers that took us to the moon. Even a modern kitchen appliance’s processing power dwarfs the most advanced space-age technology of half a century ago. But it’s not just computers and microprocessors that are getting smaller, more efficient, and more available to mainstream consumers. In the boating world, Seakeeper has continuously worked to bring its innovative boat stabilization technology to smaller and smaller vessels. The company has successfully battled boat roll since 2008, when it first introduced an innovative stabilization gyroscope that eliminates seasickness, nausea, anxiety, and fatigue. With the new Seakeeper 3, stabilization is finally moving into the mainstream by eliminating boat roll on vessels as small as 30 feet. It’s Seakeeper’s biggest smallest thing yet.

FAST FACTS

Enter the Seakeeper 3. It’s the first computercontrolled gyroscope optimized for vessels Measures 26.8”L x between 30 and 39 feet, 27.4”W x 22.5”H and it eliminates up to 95 percent of boat roll. For Weighs 550 pounds boaters with smaller vessels, it’s not just an incremental improvement—it’s a whole new way of being on the water.

Optimized for boats 30 to 39 feet

Adapting tech innovations from the space program, the Seakeeper 3’s gyroscope harnesses the power of a flywheel spinning at high speeds with exact precision in a near vacuum. When the gyro senses boat roll, it springs into action,

neutralizing the port to starboard motion, creating a flawlessly smooth experience on open waters.

INNOVATION AS A MINDSET A commitment to groundbreaking innovation has been a key part of Seakeeper’s mission from the start. The company’s founders both spent their careers driving advancements in the boating industry. CEO and Co-Founder Shepard McKenney, a lifelong entrepreneur, pioneered JetStick technology which allows a skipper to control and dock a boat with a joystick. Chief Engineer and Co-Founder John Adams began his career as a naval architect and is a recognized expert in motion control for high-speed ships. After establishing Seakeeper in 2003, the pair spent five years in research and development perfecting the stabilization technology. They continued to refine and improve the gyroscope until it would be recognized as the new industry standard. Since that initial release, McKenney, Adams, and the entire Seakeeper team have remained devoted to driving the technology forward, bringing the game-changing experience of enjoying time on the water with ultimate stability to more and more boaters. Seakeeper gyroscopes designed for large vessels led to new models optimized for smaller and smaller boats. McKenney and Adams were adamant: The revolutionary experience of a Seakeeper should be available to everyone.

Building on the advances made with the Seakeeper 5, the Seakeeper 3 is the first gyroscope truly designed and optimized for smaller boats. It’s the first Seakeeper model to run exclusively on DC power. It’s 25 percent smaller and 30 percent lighter than other Seakeeper models, and it’s the lowest priced unit in the line. The Seakeeper 3 has revolutionized the installation process as well. The refit process involves simply swapping out the existing leaning post with a custom replacement. The process usually only takes two days, and the installation is completely enclosed in a self-contained unit within the boat. By simply tapping a button on the intuitive touch screen control panel, boaters with 30-foot vessels can finally overcome choppy waters and relieve seasick passengers in a matter of seconds. Seakeeper 3 takes the revolutionary approach to boat roll Seakeeper has become known for and brings it into the mainstream. It is truly the next giant leap in boat stabilization.

Behind the Times IN AUGUST, THE CITY OF Dana Point unearthed a time capsule from

50 years prior. The capsule was interred Monday, Aug. 29, 1966, in a rock-placing ceremony that marked the start of construction of Dana Point Harbor. The eight-ton rock was moved from the breakwater and the contents were extracted and catalogued for an exhibit at the John D. Cooper Archeological Paleontological Center in Santa Ana. The items inside, which were gathered just as the harbor was starting construction, included newsletters and photographs from various community groups, and a Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts souvenir program. The rock was returned to the sea at its new home at Baby Beach.

a 30-minute taxi ride. It’s about a 45-minute ride to Cabo San Lucas and either Marinas de Baja or IGY Marina Los Cabos. Or, it’s a 90-minute ride to La Paz, which features Marina CostaBaja, Marina Palmira, Marina de La Paz and Marina Fonatur — just for starters. From Puerto Vallarta’s international airport (PVR), it’s 15 minutes to Marina Vallarta, 30 minutes to Paradise Marina Village, or an hour to Marina Puerto Nayarit at La Cruz. So you could dock your boat at any of those places. Both rendezvous points are in the tropics, so warm weather will be most welcome in the winter. The main difference in winter? Baja is IF YOU’RE HAVING GUESTS ABOARD usually dry, while P.V. is green and IN MEXICO, HERE’S HOW TO MAKE humid.

NVITING GUESTS TO join them aboard for the holidays is stan-

dard operating procedure for many boaters in Mexico during the winter, but things are a little different in Mexico than stateside. Use the following considerations to make it work smoothly for everyone, beginning with narrowing any invitation down with respect to where, when, for how long and what you’ll do with guests that’s uniquely Mexico.

WHERE?

HOST FOR THE HOLIDAYS

We once invited guests to cruise the tiny Gold Coast anchorages with us and suggested they fly into Manzanillo where we’d pick them up. Unfortunately, their travel agent booked them a round-trip flight to Mazatlan, because everybody knows IT WORK FOR EVERYONE. that’s where the cruise ships dock and, well, they both start with M. GUEST CRUISE Two of the easiest places to rendezvous with guests are Los You won’t have to hang out in the marina, because both locations Cabos at the south end of the Baja California peninsula and Puerto are surrounded by months’ worth of fun boating activities, and Vallarta about halfway down the mainland. From there, take your boat is the first-class ticket to sportfishing, snorkeling and them to remote places. At both Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, the scuba diving, beachcombing, island hopping and overnight anchorairports have taxis and convenient access to several full-service ing opportunities. yacht marinas. To give holiday guests the authentic cruising experience, plan From the international airport for Los Cabos (SJC), Marina to coast 140 miles from Cabo San Lucas around East Cape (Gordo Puerto Los Cabos in San Jose del Cabo’s municipal harbor is Banks for fishing, Cabo Pulmo for diving) to any marina in La Paz, 16

SEAMAGAZINE.COM DECEMBER 2016

+ Sea Mexico Report.indd 16

10/31/16 2:13 PM

Marina Vallarta is the closest boating facility to the international airport at Puerto Vallarta, almost golf cart distance. From here you can take guests for a mini cruise around Banderas Bay for tropical fishing and diving.

and then taxi back to meet their departure flight at the original airport, San Jose del Cabo. From La Paz, guests are often happy to relax for a week out at the Espiritu Santos Islands where they can fish, dive and hike. From Puerto Vallarta, the 70-mile circular route around Banderas Bay includes entertaining stops for diving at the Islas Mariettas and fishing in Yelapa Bay. Port calls at both ends of this cruise are always a hit, because they’re stuffed with fabulous shopping and different restaurants to sample each day.

WHEN TO COME AND GO One week to 10 days is about right, depending on your hosting capacity (e.g., berths, water tankage, galley) and guests’ boating expertise. Guests who are also boaters seem to take up less space. Check out Mexico’s holiday calendar for 2016-2017 (see sidebar), so you can plan to soak up some colorful cultural events, or to avoid bank/business closures. Monday, Dec. 12 will be one of the heaviest travel days in Mexico, which takes many U.S. visitors by surprise. If you’re going to travel with guests aboard from Los Cabos to La Paz, allow one normal business day to get them officially added to your paperwork. Use the day to provision and top off — but beware of packed grocery stores and potential fuel shortages. Leave another day at the end to remove guests from your paperwork before they jet away with their passports.

PARADES & POSADAS YOU AND YOUR GUESTS can join or observe many festivities. The Virgin Mary of Guadalupe is the patron saint of Mexico, so at Christmas each cathedral’s statues of the saints are carried through the streets, accompanied by choirs and marching bands. Pine boughs and lighted ornaments decorate the streets and municipal buildings. Along the parade routes, market stands sell “comida de navidad” (Christmas foods): banana tamales, pozole, bunuelos, ponche, Noche Bueno beer and more. A posada is a reenactment of Mary and Joseph knocking on doors in Bethlehem. Some marinas organize posadas: Two boaters play Mary and Joseph and knock on four or five hulls, seeking admittance while others follow. “Sorry, no room at this inn” is the required response until they’re finally welcomed in — usually at the marina lounge where a buffet or potluck begins.

HOST WELL USE THESE EIGHT TIPS to host guests in Mexico:

Start with the lesson on flushing the heads and showering. Establish rules, such all on board help prepare meals, wash up, make their bed, etc. If you’re traveling, tell guests when you’ll fire up and get underway. Show all guests how to stop the boat and use the VHF; then let them do it themselves. Help guests practice a few key phrases in Spanish, so they’ll be comfortable. Provide floppy hats and sun block to lessen the inevitable sunburn. Keep an extra set or two of 7 x 50 binoculars for guests to use (not your good ones), and hand them your wildlife identification book. Keep a couple of extra snorkel masks with breathing tubes and surf fins, so guests have a chance to observe the marine life, even if it’s just below the boat at anchor. And hand them your reef fish and marine life identification book.

SOUND BOUND When the float plan keeps you close to home, it’s nice to have Puget Sound as your backyard.

10/31/16 2:14 PM

nder a clear cobalt-blue sky, we were on the bridge, taking in the sights and enjoying the unseasonably warm temperature as Easy Goin’s diesels purred at no-wake speed in the Swinomish Channel. Motoring past the picturesque community of La Conner, with snowcapped Mt. Baker dominating the background, Arlene and I were beginning a 28-day, 315-mile cruise from our homeport of Anacortes, Wash., south to Olympia and back.

Each year, thousands of Northwest boaters make extended cruises to locations north — the San Juan Islands, the Canadian Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound or destinations farther north — but for boat owners who live in the greater Puget Sound region, it’s not mandatory to go north to enjoy a prolonged voyage.

THE SOUND

he Sound, as it is referred to by locals, has 1,332 miles of shoreline, 1,020 square miles of cruising area and 16 prominent islands. George Vancouver was the first European to explore it, in 1792, and he claimed it for Great Britain and named it for one of his officers, Lt. Peter Puget. Two natural factors must be taken into consideration when cruising these waters, especially early in the season. The first is the constantly changing spring weather. Winds can rise and shift quickly, but the NOAA VHF weather channel has regular updates, and you’re never far from good shelter. The second is tide. In the Sound, tides flood south and ebb north, but currents in channels and narrows don’t always follow that rule. Tidal currents, as strong as 8 knots, are strong enough to affect travel time.

SHALLOW WATER

ur trip began with a challenge to our navigation skills. We needed to be at Port of South Whidbey, at Langley, later that afternoon, to meet our grandson Tanner, who would be joining us aboard for dinner and a visit. That put us transiting the Swinomish Channel and Skagit Bay during a minus 0.3 tide. Many boaters avoid the area during a minus tide, due to lack of depth and strong currents. There was only eight and a half feet of depth at the northern entrance of the channel and six and a half feet at the extreme southern portion, but we followed the navigation aids and made the passage successfully. We arrived in Langley early in the afternoon, which provided us time to stroll through the charming seaside village before Tanner’s arrival. South Whidbey Harbor at Langley has a reputation for being a small, tight marina suitable only for small boats, but we discovered that guest moorage has been significantly increased thanks to the addition of a 300-foot floating breakwater a few years ago.

Grandma Arlene outdid herself at dinner, offering a variety of delicious choices. We visited with Tanner until we couldn’t eat any more and the stories ran out. The evening was a wonderful beginning to our trip. After a lazy and relaxing morning, we pushed off and headed 15 miles south to Port of Edmonds, our destination for the next two nights. In all our years of cruising, we had never overnighted in Edmonds, and we discovered a peaceful, historical waterfront town with fine arts, boutiques and entertainment. Walkable and easily accessible from the marina on foot or via the courtesy van provided by the marina, downtown Edmonds showcases boutiques, gift shops, bookstores, cafés, restaurants, a brewery and a distillery. The afternoon of the second day, local friends Doug and Betty joined us on board for dinner and to celebrate Betty’s and my birthday. We had a great visit and were treated to a beautiful sunset as ferries crisscrossed Puget Sound and sun slipped behind the Olympic Mountains.

In the historical town of Poulsbo, the Norwegian theme runs throughout and its public art tells Poulsbo’s story. The heritage of the first settlers is told in murals and sculptures.

Brownsville’s marina, delicatessen, grocery store and butcher shop make it a must-stop. The deli is famous for its sandwiches and generous portions.

respectful of Washington state ferry traffic. The great thing about Winslow is it is small, and everything is within walking distance of the harbor. A friendly island community, it blends Pacific Northwest heritage with a casual, artistic and forward-thinking sensibility. The result is a vibrant, charming small island town that welcomes visitors year round. Additionally, the selection of shops and restaurants is outstanding.

Dock Street Marina is an outstanding facility at the very end of the waterway, where the Museum of Glass, the Chihuli Bridge of Glass and the Washington State Museum sit at the top of the marina ramp. The Tacoma Art Museum, the Working Waterfront Maritime Museum and a plethora of restaurants are all within a 10-minute walk. The following afternoon, Bill and Patty arrived aboard their boat, Sunshine. After a

HOLIDAY WEEKEND

ur next stop was the beautiful 475-acre Blake Island Marine State Park, to enjoy Memorial Day weekend. As we entered the basin, the park host directed us to an open spot on the dock. We were lucky, because shortly after our arrival, the docks were full and the host was turning boats away. The park ranger informed us the island receives 100,000 visitors a year. It was new for us to be in a state park and have shore power; 30-amp power had been installed on the dock a few years ago, making it the first marine park to offer power. We also learned from the park host that boaters can stay up to seven days, unlike the three-day limit at other state parks. We spent the holiday week visiting with other boaters, hiking the miles of trails that crisscross the island and relaxing on board. Every evening just before dark, the field above the boat basin filled with grazing resident deer.

BACK ON THE MOVE

Since our last visit, the marina had been renovated. It had eco-friendly docks and remodeled restrooms and showers. The next morning, we said our good-byes and headed for Dockstreet Marina on the Foss Waterway in Tacoma, to rendezvous with friends Bill and Patty Linscott, but first we made an interim stop to top off the fuel tanks in Des Moines, whose marina offers some of the best fuel prices in Puget Sound.

After checking in, we stopped at Budd Bay Café for lunch, after which we went to Olympia Seafood Co. for fresh clams and oysters and to the Farmer’s Market for fresh produce.

MAKING THE TURN

fter a couple of days in Olympia, it was time to start heading for home, but we had a few more stops in the float plan. We exited Budd Inlet and headed up Picking Passage with an interim stop at Hope Island Marine State Park before continuing on to Jarrell Cove State Park. Jarrell Cove is our favorite south Puget Sound state park. It offers 14 mooring buoys, two docks, restroom facilities, showers, a pumpout and hiking trails in a beautiful wooded setting. Across the cove is privately owned Jarrell Cove Marina, which has fuel and a few groceries. The trail at the head of the innermost dock was blocked, due to construction. The park ranger informed us that workers had just run new water and power lines. Docks were in the works, which, once installed, will have 30-amp power and water. (The installation was to be completed by October 2016, after this issue goes to press.)

CHAIN SAWS AND WINE

A RISING TIDE FLOATS ALL BOATS

he breeze was predicted to continue for the next couple of days, so we made the decision to move to the protection of Filucy Bay and Longbranch Improvement Club Marina. We were experiencing the lowest tides of the year, minus 3.4 feet, as we made our way to narrow Pitt Passage where we discovered a sailboat aground on Wyckoff Shoal — and we were still two hours from low tide. The owner had tried to take a shortcut, cutting inside the navigation markers. All aboard were safe and there was nothing we could do to help. They had to wait for the flood

pushed off and set a course for Swantown Marina in the state capital of Olympia. With not a ripple on the water and a temperature of 85 degrees, we piloted Easy Goin’ from the bridge, where we got our first sight, upon entering Budd Inlet, of the imposing Washington State Capitol building, which bears the fourth-largest masonry dome in the world. Downtown Olympia is nestled at the southernmost tip of Puget Sound, beneath Mt. Rainier and within sight of the majestic Olympic mountains. It’s a blend of historic buildings, beautiful scenery, and eclectic retail and dining experiences.

e enjoyed the peacefulness of Jarrell Cove for a couple of days before it was once again time to move on. We headed for lunch at Lennard K’s Boat House in the nearby waterfront community of Allyn. As we walked up the road to lunch, we passed the Chainsaw Carving School where two carved signs got our attention. They were placed such that they read “Wine Tasting George Kenny School of Chainsaw Carving.” We had a good laugh and continued to lunch. Once back on board, we headed for Fair Harbor Marina, our moorage for the night. The next morning, we listened to the VHF weather radio report. The forecast for the balance of the trip was rain and partly cloudy at best. After a day of exploration, we departed Fair Harbor for our destination of Gig Harbor. The plan was to make stops along the way at McMicken Island

Marine State Park, Joemma State Park and Oro Bay before transiting the Tacoma Narrows and taking advantage of the 5-knot ebbing current. We moored Easy Goin’ to the dock at Jerisich Park, located in the middle of town, and were surprised to discover the city had recently installed 30-amp power and water.

SOUND PROTECTION

ich in maritime history, Gig Harbor boasts one of the most perfectly protected harbors in Puget Sound, offering one of the most sheltered anchorages. We found downtown itself to be an enticing place to relax. With a backdrop of Mt. Rainier and idyllic scenery, the waterfront offers a variety of attractions and services within walking distance. Smithsonian Magazine has named Gig Harbor one of its top five small towns for culture, heritage and charm. With the wind blowing 15 knots and gusts to 25, and predicted to continue for

another day, we decided to spend an additional night in the protection of the harbor before continuing north to Port Orchard in Sinclair Inlet for a two-night stay. We woke to calm winds and a partly cloudy sky, so mid-morning we departed and headed for Port Orchard. Our course took us north up Colvos Passage, where current always flows northerly regardless of the tide, providing us a continuous two-and-a-half-knot push. Port Orchard Marina is within easy walking distance to downtown shopping and dining. Besides a walkable waterfront featuring family activities, playgrounds, parks, Farmer’s Market and an array of excellent dining and shopping options, there is an abundance of events and festivals year round. After checking in and visiting with Cathy Garcia, marina manager for both Bremerton and Port Orchard marinas, we walked through town and checked out the shops and restaurants before enjoying

lunch at Amy’s on the Bay. The second day we hopped aboard the foot ferry Carlisle II, which crosses Sinclair Inlet to Bremerton, which is home to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and has a distinct Navy flair that is tastefully and proudly displayed throughout the city.

PUSH FOR HOME

he final day of our Puget Sound Cruise was a long one. We departed Port Orchard and headed north through Agate Passage and up the east side of Whidbey Island before transiting the Swinomish Channel to our homeport of Anacortes. Our cruise through Puget Sound was different than those of the past few years when we ventured north into the wilderness of British Columbia’s coast. We enjoyed our time cruising Puget Sound, visiting many of the small and interesting communities that line the Sound, and some of the state’s most popular marine parks.

water-maker care // avoid CO // grid’s rant

STAY SAFE FROM SILENT DANGER D BY GRID MICHAL

O YOU REMEMBER a TV program called “Hill Street Blues”? It always started with the watch commander telling the new shift, as they were departing on duty, “Be careful out there.” We know to put our life jacket on, to look for other boats, to post a spotter for watersports, to file a float plan, etc. But there’s one more safety item to think about, especially as cruisers, which are getting smaller, and center consoles, which are getting bigger, increasingly use outboards for power.

A little background that we may have forgotten. Engine combustion emissions are a combination of CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), and NOx (nitrogen oxide). “Greenhouse gases” that eat up the atmosphere and contribute to the Earth’s warming are mostly a product of HC and NOx, both of which are present in large amounts in two-stroke outboards, regardless of the type of fuel induction (not 24

counting direct injection, which I’ll get to in a moment). The easiest way to reduce HC and NOx is to use available technology and produce four-stroke outboards. Voila! The industry has met the EPA mandate of reducing damaging emissions. But, if two items are modified, the other one, by scientific law, is also modified. Reduce HC and NOx, and CO increases. Which isn’t bad, unless

staying alive is one of your life’s priorities. If you remember “Hill Street Blues,” I’ll bet you remember something called “the station wagon effect.” Older (pre-1990s) station wagons had flip-up rear windows above the tailgate door. Having that window up allowed cool air to be drawn into the car — along with the silent killer, carbon monoxide. You’d think such a dramatic lesson would be remembered, but did anybody give you a warning when you got four-strokes installed on your big center console — have you seen some of those things lately? — or when you got the winter enclosure made for your T-top? Now, here’s where boats differ from cars: With a car, more CO is drawn into the car the faster it goes. The faster the boat goes, however, the more the CO is mixed with clean air, offsetting most of its dangerous effects. With the boat, the EPA measures the CO at dead (sorry) idle. Non-catalyzed I/Os have the worst CO readings, accounting for most emission-related deaths, followed by outboards: four-stroke carbureted and then four-stroke EFI. The two-stroke direct-injection engine, by virtue of its fuel delivery management, registers nearly zero emissions. Especially CO. At what speed do you troll for the elusive

rockfish? According to the computer downloads I see, between 700 and 1000 rpm. All. Day. Long. That’s the perfect speed to draw the odorless CO into the new enclosure you just had made for your boat. Unless you troll at 20 mph, you need to be especially cautious. Make sure you open another curtain for ventilation, and non-retention of carbon monoxide.

WATER-MAKER CARE

MAINTAINING A MODERN, RELIABLE WATERMAKER is one of the easiest — and least

time-consuming — DIY tasks aboard a boat. The folks at FCI Watermakers (fciwatermakers.com), a U.S.-based manufacturer with 30 years of experience, put together a tip sheet that should help boat owners keep a very important piece of equipment in top working order and making fresh, pure water. A well-engineered water-maker allows for maximum, open access, whether it’s modular or framed. First, give the unit a visual inspection. Modern ones are like new automobiles: incredibly dependable and easy to maintain, but the occasional peek under the hood never hurts. With auto-flush, checking the filters constitutes the bulk of the routine maintenance involved in owning a water-maker. The pre-filter can usually be washed up to three times before it’s replaced — generally, every three to six months. Running the unit while at sea, rather than in dirty coastal water, will extend this filter’s usable life. Whether manual or automatic, scheduled freshwater flushes are important; they lengthen the service life of the membranes. Some modern water-makers make this task easy. Advanced models with state-of-the-art touchscreen controllers perform this operation, plus scheduled diagnostic testing, completely automatically. Replace the carbon block filter after every 50 freshwater flushes — about twice a year. (FCI uses this type over granular activated carbon (GAC) because it ensures 100 percent of the chlorine is removed from the water.)

After every 500 hours of use, replace the oil in the high-pressure pump. It’s clean and easy to do, because they use little oil. Membrane replacement will depend on operating conditions and hours of use. Annually when the boat is hauled out, check the intake and brine discharge through-hulls for obstructions. Look at the sea strainer, and clear and clean it as

needed. Depending on how long one plans to have the boat at sea, it’s a good idea to have spares of replaceable items such as filters and spare oil on board. Top-quality water-makers only use non-proprietary parts, so they’re readily available worldwide — and relatively inexpensive compared to those made by the manufacturer.

BUILDING TECHS FROM THE GROUND UP

NCE AGAIN, A most kind and generous customer forced The Motor

Nurse and me to occupy his home at the top of Martha’s Vineyard for a minimum of two weeks. We used this time to read, write, play board games, and nap as the feeling hits us.

Builder Showcase

One project was to finish “Shop Class as Soulcraft,” by Matthew B. Crawford. It’s a bit like “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,” but instead of getting into the psychology of machinery, Crawford includes many quotes from distinguished theologians, financiers and economists. There was one quote that directly supported what I’ve been saying all along about today’s technicians. The reference is to humans vs. computers: “In what circumstances does the human element remain indispensable, and why? Levy writes that creativity is knowing what to do when the rules run out, or

there are no rules in the first place. It’s what a good auto mechanic does when his computerized equipment says the car’s transmission is fine, but the transmission continues to shift at the wrong engine speed. When this happens, the mechanic is then thrown back on himself and must make sense of the situation.” Very little difference exists between the auto and marine industries with regard to the computer’s diagnostic abilities. Bombardier has one of the best, most complete diagnostic programs in the industry, but if the engine won’t start and it shows no problems with the ECM,

unless the tech knows how to shunt the 12v, or how to measure the 20+v going into the ECM, where to measure it, and where to test for 55v operating, he might as well use the laptop as a coffee-table coaster. From the Bully Pulpit, I harangue high school grads, repeating that not everyone can attend college; that many colleges can’t satisfy a student’s needs; that one cannot know everything about plumbing, electrical contracting, or marine tech as he receives his diploma. If he’s sharp, he’ll find a bottom-rung position at $15 per hour. Climbing the ladder means he will have to know how engines work before he uses the computer to diagnose. Dealers cry that they can’t find qualified help, because there is none. In addition there has to be a labor pool of folks who want to work. Please, take a few minutes to work with your school system and its graduates. If you want to boat, it’s in your best interest to “grow” your own tech.

FOUR WINNS

HORIZON 350 IT’S A VERSATILE, MULTI-ACTIVITY BOAT FOR WEEKENDING OR WATERSPORTS.

OWRIDERS, MUCH LIKE center consoles, have been undergoing a growth spurt. They’re no longer limited to 20- and 24-footers with the traditional 8-foot, 6-inch beam that makes them easy to tow. They stretch to nearly 40 feet in some cases, and include cabins and full-size head compartments. In other words, they’re no longer a single-function boat.

Four Winns is no stranger to bowriders — its Vista line is the only of its six lines not to have bow seating — and the flagship of the bowriders, the Horizon 350, is a 35-footer that can accommodate a bunch of friends, pull a skier, hop the islands, host sunset cocktails or serve as a couples weekender. From the dock, the H350 looks like an express-style boat, and it really is — an express, dayboat-style vessel with the added touch of seating up front.

NAMESAKE I’d be remiss if I didn’t begin the tour of this big bowrider in the bow. Accessed via the windshield walkthrough, the bow area is ringed with seating, and the backrests are tall all around, so everyone should feel safely enclosed. To port is a forward-facing loveseat-sized bench. To starboard is a settee that can seat three folks in an L shape, or one person can sit with his feet on the floor and another can stretch out chaise-lounge style. Forward is another bench seat. A table can be set up for snacks or a game of cards — at rest, obviously — and four cupholders and two speakers enhance the party potential. Optional

TESTER’S OPINION

filler cushions can turn the bow into a big sunpad. Fans of wind in their hair and maybe bugs in their teeth will like riding in the bow.

COCKPIT Behind the windshield, under the hardtop and forward of the sun lounge is the cockpit. A big L-shaped settee runs along the port side and aft. Its backrest is shared with the rear-facing sun lounge, and it can seat up to six people. A galley/refreshment center is along the starboard side, just aft of the helm, and includes a solid countertop, a grill, a sink and a 36-quart cooler. A refrigerator is an option, and probably one most buyers will pursue. In the forward section of the cockpit are four captain’s chairs, two at the starboard-side helm and two more to port; the ones to port share a base. Three of them swivel around, so their occupants can be part of the action, turning the area into a six- or eight-person conversation pit. All of the seats include bolsters, and while the captain’s chair doesn’t swivel, it is height adjustable. I had no problem seeing well over the windshield while I drove standing

The Horizon 350 is ready to host a goodsized gathering, with seating aft, middle and forward. A grill means lunch can be cooked aboard, and a berth below works for suninduced naps.

• The Four Winns Horizon 350 isn’t trying to be all things to all people,

but it is a versatile, multi-activity boat for folks who like being the host with the most and are ready to step up from a trailerable boat but maybe not ready to jump to a 40-plus-footer.

up, but I’m six and a half feet tall. With the bolster, the driver can choose to hunker down out of the breeze or sit higher and get a better view. The helm station on our test boat was dark colored, with black and brown vinyl upholstery, dark textured trim and a black vinyl-wrapped sport wheel. Raymarine A75 and A77 touchscreen displays sat in the not-quite-vertical dash, along with a Merc DTS engine gauge. A hardtop runs from the helm to just shy of the aft settee, so passengers will have the choice of how much exposure to the sun they want. And if everyone wants a taste of the sun, most of the hardtop is a sunroof that opens wide. Our test boat wasn’t fully enclosed, allowing the elements in, but there are canvas options to enclose the cockpit.

— 300 to 430 hp — are available to buyers, to rig the H350 exactly how an owner wants it. The 6.2L Mercs pushed the 12,800pound H350 on plane in about 4.8 seconds and to a top speed of 46 mph on test day. The Mercs were spinning at 5400 rpm at wide-open throttle and burning a combined 53 gph of gas. WOT was the only time the efficient MerCruisers were burning more than 1 gpm. At 5000 rpm, the boat was clipping along at 43 mph while the engines burned 42.8 gph, which yields a range of about 145 miles, taking a 10 percent reserve into account. Drop down to 4000 rpm, and range goes to about 190 miles at 33 mph, with a fuel burn of 25.2 gph. The sweet spot is around 3500 rpm. There, a speed of 27 mph burns 19.3 gph, for a range of just more than 200 miles.

BELOW

PLAYTIME

Down a set of steps at the foot of the companion seats is the cabin. At the base of the steps is a head with a sink and a Vacuflush toilet with a 25-gallon holding tank. It’s a wet head, so no enclosed shower, but there is a water heater, and most folks will be surprised to find a head at all. The cabin itself consists of an L-shaped sofa with enough overhead space that people can sit up, and a berth with enough room for two people to lie down but no real headroom. For a couple on a weekend excursion, there’s plenty of room to relax and sleep belowdecks. During a daylong watersports marathon, the cabin would be a good spot to store extra equipment, food, beverages and coolers. Plus, everyone has a private place to change out of damp gear. Good-sized hull windows and overhead hatches let in plenty of natural light, and air conditioning is an option, as is a TV. A microwave comes standard. Fill-in cushions are an option, to turn the sofa and berth into a giant bed.

The H350’s holeshot and turning ability — Four Winns’ patented Stable-Vee hull uses a longer running surface to hold the water better and stay flatter and more stable — make it a solid watersports platform, capable of getting skiers, boarders and tubers up and going, and able to pick them up quickly and safely when the run is over. And while its wake is likely suitable for all but the most intense wakeboarders, its top speed makes it a potential slalom platform too. The wide swim platform is the spot to boot up before a run, and the transom shower makes it easy to rinse off afterward. A stainless steel ski tow and a fold-away boarding ladder are standard. A rear-facing lounge can work for spotters, and it converts to more of a chaise lounge/ sunpad at the touch of a button. The Four Winns Horizon 350 isn’t trying to be all things to all people, but it is a versatile, multi-activity boat. The seating area in the bow gives it something extra that not all express-style vessels and dayboats have, and the hardtop delivers relief from relentless rays or protection from a sudden shower. Its size places it squarely in a niche that appeals to folks who like being the host with the most and are ready to step up from a trailerable boat but maybe not ready to jump to a 40-plus-footer.

GETTIN’ AFTER IT The horsepower range Four Winns offers spans from 600 to 860, and our test boat was near the middle of the range, with twin 350 hp MerCruiser 6.2L EC gas engines coupled to Bravo III JPS drives. A slew of options from MerCruiser and Volvo Penta 30 SEAMAGAZINE.COM DECEMBER 2016

OCEAN ALEXANDER 70 EVOLUTION A CHANGE IN PROPULSION — TO PODS — IS THE FIRST OF MANY CHANGES.

HEN IT COMES time to develop a new yacht model that a builder hopes will be seen as an advancement, as something entirely new, what does that builder do? It can change the design and layout. It can rethink its reliance on traditional propulsion methods. It can increase functionality. It can create a new space in which its new yacht is built. It can build the new yacht out of a previously unknown substance extracted from below the surface of a distant star.

Ocean Alexander did all but one of those things with its new 70 Evolution. (We’ll let you figure out which one it didn’t do.) The Taiwanese-based builder decided to manufacture the 70E in the United States, and it expressed a commitment to U.S. production by fitting out a state-of-the-art boatbuilding facility in Merritt Island, Fla. Now, this isn’t the first Ocean Alexander to be built stateside — its 120 was built in the U.S. at the Christensen Yachts yard in Vancouver, Wash. — but the Evolution line is up to hull #4 in production (hulls five through 10 are sold and ordered) and they’re all being built in Florida, so there’s definitely a progression in thinking at OA. And since doing the entire yacht justice in this space is impossible, we’re going to concentrate on what stands out as evolved.

POWER OF POD SITIVE THINKING One thing the OA designers wanted to ensure is that the 70E can be operated by a couple, and to do that they looked at

OTHER STANDOUT FEATURES 

something completely new for the builder: pod drives, which themselves led to an evolution in propulsion when Volvo Penta introduced them just more than a decade ago. Yes, couples have managed to operate and dock yachts of this size with traditional drives for many years, but if you’re a yacht builder and you can make that experience easier, you do it. Volvo Penta’s IPS pod drives are hooked up to twin Volvo IPS 1200 diesel engines, each delivering 900 hp. Tight slips, current and wind aren’t nearly the issues they used to be for a boat operator with a joystick control who can walk his 70-foot yacht sideways. Add the electric bow thruster, and precision movements are easily manipulated by experienced or novice boaters. The combination of pods and the thruster puts the 70E well within a first-time boat buyer’s comfort zone, which might not seem like the demographic for a builder whose smallest yacht is this 70-footer, but times have changed. Chalk one up for

• Zero-Speed hydraulic stabilizer fins

technology and its intelligent integration by yacht builders.

REVERSE MULLET The evolution of the 70E isn’t limited to the areas that are out of sight. In fact, most of the changes are in plain view, beginning with the bow and stern. As someone who grew up in the 1980s, I must admit to knowing that a mullet haircut is “business in front and party in the back” (though I will neither confirm nor deny I had such a ’do). The 70E turns that around, moving the party to the front and putting the business to the stern. Not simply a place for a sunpad, the bow is a full-on entertainment spot. Twin settees face each other across a table, providing room for six people to sit comfortably, and there is still a sunpad forward of all that. Twelve cupholders ensure everyone’s drink has a secure home. And for pasty-skinned folks such as myself, an overhead canopy can be erected to cover the area. It’s sturdy enough to withstand the elements at top speed, which on test day was just shy of 30 mph. At the opposite end from the bash-worthy bow is what we’ll call the business end of the yacht. It’s a teak-covered expanse of swim step that could host its own party. So why is that the business end, you ask? Well, the aft half (maybe a little more) of the swim platform is a hydraulic lift that lowers into the water and includes a built-in cradle for the dinghy, so it can take care of the business of launching and retrieval. It also creates room for a rather large social space on the flybridge, which we’ll get to. But with the dinghy released and tied off, the platform can serve as a submerged beach. Maybe one can mix business with pleasure.

The touches aboard the Ocean Alexander 70E range from high-tech to high-end. The captain will feel like a spaceship operator, with joystick and MFD controls in the arms of his chair, and the cook will feel like a chef, with full-size galley appliances.

The flybridge can host a party for a couple of dozen people, and its helm is fully equipped, including joystick and MFD controls in the arms of the captain’s chair.

FEELIN’ THE FLOW If there was one thing observers could count on in the main cabin of an Ocean Alexander yacht, it was a bulkhead separating the salon from the galley and the dining or helm area, but the 70E is different. From the entry door aft to the helm forward, the interior is a free-flowing, three-level great room (only one step separates each “level”). The layout itself is similar to other OA models — salon aft, galley amidships, helm and dining area forward — but the elimination of the bulkhead between the salon and the galley makes all the difference, making it possible for the captain, chef and lounging passengers to participate in the same conversation. With the glass door open, even people on the aft deck can be part of the action. In the salon — love seat to port, L-shaped settee to starboard — the window bottoms have been dropped a few inches to increase their size, and the air vents have been reconfigured so as not to protrude from the ceiling and cut into the view. A 50-inch TV drops out of the ceiling. Full-size stainless appliances (Jenn Air, Whirlpool and Bosch), satin wood cabinets and high-end stone countertops define the pass-through galley, which is L-shaped with an island that has a bar-height section and twin barstools. Forward of the galley is the just-port-of-center helm and a corner settee with a table. The helm’s signature

feature is a floating pod that houses two 19-inch Garmin touchscreen MFDs. The other signature feature (don’t overthink it), at least on our test boat, was the Stidd captain’s chair — more specifically its arms, the right one being home to the IPS joystick while the left was home to the Garmin GRID remote control, which operates the MFDs. The captain will think he’s piloting a spaceship from the Kirk Chair. It’s all part of the evolution.

HEIGHTENED PERFORMANCE Jerry Wheeler and Russ Butera, of the Alexander Marine California office, and I watched the Garmin MFD as the speed reading reached 29.5 mph on a calm ocean. Almost 30 mph in a 70-footer with twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200 diesels that crank out 900 hp apiece. That’s a positive testament to a hull design meant to take advantage of the pods by emphasizing its planing ability. The twin Volvos were burning a combined 87 gph at that speed, for a range of about 330 miles. Slowing the 70E down to 1000 rpm, 10.8 mph, yielded a fuel burn of 10 gph and a range of just about 1,000 miles (with a reserve). At 23.5 mph (2000 rpm), a fast cruise speed, fuel burn was 63 gph, for a range of about 350 miles. Range is closer to 400 miles at 1750 rpm and 18.4 mph, with a 45-gph fuel burn. Driving the yacht, hull #2, was a lot of fun thanks to the joystick in the arm

of the chair. No longer just a slow-speed mechanism, the joystick steers the boat at all speeds. Twisting it delivers micro-movements more apropos to docking, while pushing the stick to the left or right delivers instant turning, serving as a precise, videogame-like steering wheel.

TOPSIDE Mimicking the lower helm, the flybridge station features a floating pod, controls in the arms of the captain’s chair and the same instrumentation. We conducted the sea trial from the topside helm, and there was plenty of room for the two non-drivers at any given moment to sit, whether in the companion captain’s chair, on the L-shaped settee for six to port, on the two barstools or on the 10-person settee all the way aft. It’s that settee that occupies the space created by putting the dinghy on the hydraulic swim platform. Filler cushions turn it into a sunpad, as the hardtop stops just forward of it, at the aft end of the wet

bar. An electric grill sits to port.

SLUMBER PARTY Eight people can sleep comfortably belowdecks in four staterooms: the VIP forward, side-by-side twin berths to starboard, bunks to port and a full-beam master amidships. The VIP has an en suite head, while the other two guest rooms share a third head, though the starboard

chaise for a moment during the sea trial, watching the water fly by in the large hull window and listening to the low drone of the engines — napping and reading will be popular here.

A king-size bed dominates the center of the room.

COMMONSENSE TIPS FOR SAFE BOATING

If you haven’t thought about onboard safety in a while, this refresher could be exactly what you need. BY CAPT. FRANK LANIER

oating is an activity that truly offers something for everyone, whether the crew is fishing, skiing or just messing around. It requires preparation and planning to ensure each outing goes smoothly. Our 11 commonsense tips will make your time on the water safer and more enjoyable.

1 /Sky Watch

2/In the Loop

Check the weather before heading out. Always check weather forecasts and warnings before you leave the dock, and remain vigilant on the water. Listen to NOAA weather radio broadcasts on a VHF radio, for weather warnings and forecasts on the water. Before the outing, view forecasts online at nws.noaa.gov/nwr or on any of the other various weather websites available, such as Weather Underground (wunderground. com) and Weather Bug (weatherbug.com). It’s also a good idea to have a bailout plan in the event of severe weather. Check area charts for possible safe harbors nearby, in case you’re unable to make it back to your departure point.

File a float plan. From a safety standpoint, letting a responsible person on shore know where you’ll be boating and when you plan to return is a no-brainer. A float plan not only ensures that search and rescue agencies are notified in a timely manner in the event of an emergency, but it also speeds up response times by narrowing down the search area. Free float plan forms are available for download at Float Plan Central (floatplancentral.cgaux.org/). When filing a float plan, make sure the information provided is both detailed and accurate. Avoid last-minute on-the-water changes such as boating destinations and the launch ramp used, unless you can contact and update the person who’s maintaining your float plan ashore.

11/1/16 10:02 AM

Check the weather before heading out.

3/Detection

4/Practice Makes Perfect

Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Marine-grade smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are recommended on all boats over 26 feet in length that have a galley and enclosed sleeping quarters. All internal combustion engines and open-flame equipment — stoves and heaters, for example — emit CO, an odorless, colorless gas that can kill in minutes. CO may also be drawn into the cabin from other vessels through ventilation systems. An even better option for boats that utilize a generator to power air conditioners and other appliances would be a CO alarm system designed to shut off the generator once CO is detected.

Practice dockside and underway safety drills. Nothing can better prepare an owner and his crew for an emergency than regular safety drills. Draft basic instructions for events such as fire, a man overboard (MOB), sinking and any situation that seems possible, and discuss safety equipment location and procedures with everyone on board. Assign roles and responsibilities to crewmembers where appropriate, and make sure all crewmembers know what’s expected of them in an emergency. Mix it up a bit to make drills more interesting and to better prepare for those “out of the box” situations — the captain as the MOB, for example. Don’t forget to include younger crewmembers. Teaching your 10-yearold how to operate the VHF radio and make a distress call instills confidence and just may save a life — maybe yours.

+ Sea feature Safety.indd 37

Coast Guard inspections will go much more smoothly if your boat is equipped with more than the minimum requirements for items such as life jackets, and emergencies could end positively if everyone knows how to use the VHF radio.

11/1/16 10:02 AM

5 /Flotation Buy life jackets people will actually wear. Most boats carry the obligatory four-for-$25 orange rectangular life jackets, so they meet the minimal requirements of one per every person aboard. They remain stuck in some out-of-the-way locker and rarely see the light of day. Why not take your safety game up a notch by upgrading to life jackets the crew will actually wear? Newer life jacket designs, such as inflatable vests or “fanny pack” types, are comfortable and affordable. Wearing a life jacket should be second nature to boaters, akin to automatically donning a seat belt when getting in a car.

6 /Do More Go beyond the minimal safety requirements. The U.S. Coast Guard requirements for items such as flares and portable fire extinguishers are the bare minimum. Most boaters don’t realize the average discharge time for the B/C Type I dry chemical extinguishers on most boats is only eight to 15 seconds or that the typical burn time of a red day/night handheld flare is 40 seconds or less. These minimum requirements should be viewed more as a starting point than the final word.

7/Brief ’Em

We Have You Covered

Conduct a safety brief before each trip. A pre-departure safety brief is always a good idea, especially with new folks aboard. Cover the basics, such as the location of safety equipment (e.g., fire extinguishers, life jackets, first aid kit), but don’t be afraid to include additional topics, such as use of the VHF radio. Post a diagram of the vessel that shows were everything is, from seacocks to fire extinguishers.

8/Your Inner Phelps Learn how to swim. Wearing a life jacket is well and good, but what better way to increase one’s boating pleasure and confidence on the water than knowing how to swim, should the need arise. Sign the kids up, too.

9/Checkup Conduct an annual safety inspection. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary offers free Vessel Safety Checks. Auxiliary members check your boat’s equipment and provide information about its use, safety procedures and applicable regulations. Unlike a real boarding by the Coast Guard, you don’t have to worry about getting a citation during this inspection. They simply let you know how to correct any deficiencies or problems they find.

10/Alarming Install a high-water bilge alarm. When it comes to dealing with flooding, quick detection is the key. The early warning provided by a bilge alarm can add valuable minutes — extra time to find the leak (while it’s still above incoming water), don life jackets, bring additional pumps online or send out a last-ditch distress signal. Make sure the alarm is loud enough to be heard over engine noise and by marina personnel or passersby when the boat is docked.

11/Location, Location, Location Buy a PLB or EPIRB. With PLB units available for less than $200, even the most tight-fisted boat owner can afford to add a PLB to the arsenal of onboard safety equipment. Always register all PLB or EPIRB units with NOAA (beaconregistration.noaa.gov/), and don’t forget to update any changes (e.g., contact phone numbers, units that are sold). For an extended cruise, use the “Additional Data Field” to provide information such as number of passengers, special considerations (medical issues) and anything else that’s suggested.

Hunt 32CC

THE HUNT 32CC IS a versatile design that combines the key attributes of a day boat with the functionality of a center console fishing boat, all on the authentic Hunt Deep-V hull. Hunt’s innovative extension of the center console allows for an aft-facing, walk-in companionway leading to the interior. Because it faces aft, getting to the enclosed head, the galley prep area and bunk/rod storage is convenient and easy. This companionway configuration is very family friendly – the kids can go below in safety, even when the boat is running. The extension of the console makes room for the microwave, mini fridge and counter space of the galley, while the console itself makes for standing headroom in the head where Hunt includes a shower. A single bunk with rod stowage is tucked neatly beneath the forward seating. While underway, the extended console offers much more protection than a conventional center console. Three adults can shelter behind the wrap-around windshield, a feature guests will appreciate when traveling at speeds up to 50 mph. As with every Hunt, the Hunt 32cc provides a smooth, dry ride offshore, perfect for day trips to Catalina. Built to last, the Hunt 32CC will run just as well a generation from now as it does today. All-composite construction and intelligent engineering create a high-integrity hull and deck structure of great strength at moderate weight. The Hunt 32CC comes standard with two 250hp outboard engines, with options for twin 350s or an inboard. 48

THE HORIZON E88 IS a contemporary style vessel combining a performanceoriented hull with a sleek superstructure, all the while retaining the family resemblance to the other models in the E Series. The inspiration from her designer, John Lindblom, derives from the demand for an increasingly modern look with a keen eye for classic lines. With a 21’ beam, the Horizon E88 provides comfortable accommodations throughout the yacht, from the four en suite guest staterooms below deck to her salon and formal dining. The interior spaces flow intuitively from one room to the next, and it is this relaxed feel that Horizon aimed to highlight with the E88’s modern coastal interior design and inherited successful concept of ensuring living comfort with spacious accommodations. Now, the versions for Open Bridge and Skylounge are available. Equipped with twin CAT C32 1800HP engines, this new Horizon E88 cruises at 18 knots and reaches a top speed of 22.5 knots at full load — she is also outfitted with everything needed for cruising the islands.

A YACHTING ENTHUSIASTS DREAM, the Horizon V80 is proportional and functional for a cockpit, which can be designed to accommodate the avid angler, diver, or a complete array of family water sports. With a 20'6" beam, the V80 allows for an interior design that makes it feel like a much larger vessel and leave little room for complaints during any cruising venture. Combining natural lighting via oversize windows, and a single level main deck — plus separate crew quarters – you have the makings of an incredible yacht. Equipped with CAT C32 1622HP engines, the V80 provides excellent sea keeping and reaches a top speed of 25/26 knots with a range of engine options to provide laid-back cruising or the edge to get where you want to go faster. She will also feature ABT zero speed stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, and everything needed to cruise anywhere from Alaska to the Caribbean!

Ocean Alexander

INSANELY EASY iPad® DOCKING right from the transom and a powerful space-conscious Volvo Penta pod system are just two points of departure for this new evolution of Ocean Alexander. The 70e delivers 21st-century must-haves, including reduced CO2 emissions and a decentralized DC power system that’s also configurable and controllable from an iPad. The first model out of its high-tech Florida yard, the 70e is an impressive evolution of Ocean Alexander’s big thinking. The breathtaking flybridge (biggest in its class) makes the 70e feel like a much-larger yacht. Sprawling, comfortable bow seating brings the party forward at the main deck. Entertainment possibilities are huge. The 70e’s contemporary interior gives a clear sight line from aft through oversize dash windows onto a forward sunpad. Excellent design means four luxurious private staterooms fit very comfortably below. Choose a tender-up or tender-down model, but the experience is the same: a masterfully engineered motoryacht.

WITH NEW EXTERIOR STYLING, new interior decor and a new split-chine hull, the Hampton 650 Pilothouse debuts a new evolution in the Hampton Series of luxury motor yachts. Her highly refined split-chine hull was specifically designed to suit the Hampton Pilothouse’s arrangements, weights, and centers. It improves pre-planing and early-planing economy, while reducing slamming in heavy seas. And as a bonus, virtually reduces chine-slap at anchor. This will undoubtedly allow you to better appreciate her luxurious Euro-influenced accommodations – all finished in Hampton’s signature craftsmanship. Large windows and ports bath the interior accommodations in natural light, especially noticeable are the enlarged ports in the gorgeous master stateroom.

LEARN ABOUT THE MAKINGS OF SUCIA ISLAND MARINE STATE PARK STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

TO US, NATURAL, BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS such as Sucia Island Marine State Park are the reason recreational boating exists. There’s something very special about this park and its many bays, coves, beaches, and forest trails that inspire first-time visitors and park veterans. The cruising destination for more than 100,000 boaters each year, it’s the most popular of all the San Juan Islands state parks. Located just south of the U.S/Canadian border in the northern portion of the San Juan Archipelago, the park is made up of a series of long fingers running in a roughly southeasterly direction. The island’s unusual shape loosely resembles the print of a human hand and is the result of a long process of geological history spanning millions of years.

SUCIA ISLAND GEOLOGY Sucia Island is composed of two very

different rock formations that were brought together by low-angle faulting and 50-million-year-old river sediments that have slid over 70-million-year-old marine sediments. Most of the island’s bedrock is sedimentary rock that originated as deposits left by an ancient river that flowed westward across Washington before the uplift of the Cascade Mountains. The oldest rocks on Sucia are marine sediments that were deposited during the late Cretaceous

The rugged beauty of Sucia Island brings more than 100,000 boaters each year, making it the most popular of all the San Juan Island state parks.

period. Named for beds that lie under the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, the Nanaimo Group sedimentary rocks are an enigma. For many years, they were believed to have formed more or less in their present location. Many geologists now speculate that they originally formed 1,000 miles or more to the south, and are part of a larger area of crust material that was moved north by plate tectonic forces. Sucia Island’s horseshoe shape is the result of the two bedrock layers folding into a U-shaped trough. The beds have also been tilted at a steep angle, a feature known to geologists as a plunging syncline. SEAMAGAZINE.COM DECEMBER 2016

FOSSIL OF SUCIA ISLAND Oysters, ammonites, snails and other marine fossils are commonly found in the rocks of the Nanaimo Group. A good fossil-hunting location is in the southern side of the park on Little Sucia, where the Nanaimo Group sediment rocks are exposed. Remember, fossil collecting is not permitted in state parks. The fossiliferous rocks of little Sucia Island and Fossil Bay were laid down about 70 million years ago in a shallow, neartropic sea. The Upper Cretaceous period was an age of extreme global warming that marked the closing chapter for many vertebrates (dinosaurs) and invertebrates (ammonites) in a massive extinction event, thought to have been caused by a massive meteorite impact. The Nanaimo Group formations of Cretaceous marine rock crop out from the north shore of Orcas Island and up the Inside Passage to Campbell River on Vancouver Island. The rocks are composed of marine shale, sandstone and conglomerate, with a wide range of fauna, including rare marine reptiles.

NATURE’S SCULPTURES

The unique rock formations of Sucia Island are caused by surface hardening, and while fossils can be spotted along the shoreline, remember that it’s illegal to take them.

The fault zone is only a short stroll from Fossil Bay campground. The beach cliff exposes Nanaimo Group sedimentary rock that has crushed and deformed into an S-shape as a result of friction. The fault contacts with the younger Chuckanut Formation sandstone are obscured by soil.

Sucia’s shoreline is the product of Mother Nature’s artistry, featuring smooth sandstone curves, rounded arches and honeycomb hollows. Potholes in the cliff at Shallow Bay probably resulted from the weathering of rock as a result of microclimate effects. Small cavities grow larger because the rock inside is damp and shady, increasing the decomposition rate of minerals that comprise the weathering rate of the sandstone. These cavities are known as China Caves, for when they were used as a hiding place for Chinese workers imported as laborers. Overhanging walls develop on coastal cliffs as a result of “surface hardening,” an unusual phenomenon that occurs when weathering causes certain types of rocks to get harder rather than softer. At some Sucia Island sites, weathering causes some of the minerals in the sandstone to dissolve, releasing iron, calcium, silica and other elements. If these elements precipitate near the rock surface, they have a cementing effect, strengthening the sandstone. If

this hardened exterior zone is breached, the weaker interior stone rapidly erodes, producing a mushroom shape. The best example of this example is Mushroom Rock in Fox Cove. Honeycomb weathering results from a dynamic balance between erosion from salt weathering and the protective effects of thin coatings of algae that grow on the side walls of the rocks’ cavities. These biofilms act as a rain coat to block the absorption of wave splash. If the algae die, cavities may form. Coastal erosion is commonly attributed to wind and waves, but another important force is the wedging action of salt crystals that are produced by evaporation of sea water that has been absorbed by porous rock.

RECENT HISTORY Salish Native American tribes used Sucia for more than 2,500 years for summer hunting and foraging. Europeans came to the island when the 1790 Capt. Eliza Expedition sailed into the area in search of the Northwest Passage. Eliza labeled it Isla Sucia on his chart, which meant “foul” or “dirty” in a nautical sense, in reference to

the many rocks and reefs surrounding the island. In the late 1800s, the bays of Sucia provided excellent hideouts for smugglers of illegal Chinese laborers, as well as for hiding illegally imported wool and opium. Still later, the island played a large role in rumrunning during Prohibition; in more recent years, it has figured in drug trafficking. First homesteader Henry Wiggins moved to Sucia in 1860 to raise a family in the Mud Bay area. The Wiggins later saw 1,000 workers come and leave when a rock quarry was operated next to Fossil Bay from 1900 to 1909. In 1920 the Harnden family came to the island to live in the old quarry workhouse. In 1929 the family returned from a vacation to discover their buildings burned down. They left soon after. Private logging operations existed on the island sporadically from the 1800s until 1955. In the early 1950s, Ev Henry of Seattle organized a successful effort to acquire roughly 319 acres to save Sucia from commercial development and in 1960

initiated a fund drive among about 40 yacht clubs in Puget Sound to purchase more than 300 acres of the island. This led to the formation of the Interclub Association of Washington and to the preservation of Sucia. Once paid for, that portion of the island was donated to Washington State Parks. The final acreage was purchased by the state in 1974, allowing the total 564 acres of the island to remain in the public domain.

THE PARK TODAY Boaters will find 48 mooring buoys scattered about the bays of the island. Buoys are located in Fossil Bay, where two docks offer 640 feet of space, and in Fox Cove, Snoring Bay and Echo Bay, the largest anchorage area, and Ewing Cove, which is the smallest. Shallow Bay is on the northwest side of the island and has incredible sunset views; it is a good choice when the wind is from the southeast. Anchoring is possible in all the bays and coves. The bottom is generally a thin sand/ mud bottom over rock. In some locations, eelgrass and seaweed make getting a good anchor set difficult.

NEAH BAY NEAH BAY IS A BEAUTIFUL coastal slice of heaven located in the top left-hand corner of the contiguous United States. It’s approximately 160 miles north of Seattle on the Makah Reservation. Neah Bay offers access to recreational fishing and has many beautiful hiking trails with some of the most spectacular views of the straits and the Pacific Ocean.

The most popular hike is to Cape Flattery,

which is approximately one and a half miles both ways. Pick up your Makah day recreation pass for parking at the museum at Neah Bay.

Visit the Makah Cultural and Research

Center and Museum, with demonstrations, guided tours, and a replica long house and thousands of artifacts including canoes, and whaling and fishing gear.

The Ozette Indian Village Archeological Site was unearthed during the winter of 1969-1970, when a mudslide exposed hundreds of ancient artifacts, which were excavated and catalogued in the Makah Museum.

Nature can sometimes make you hungry, so

stop by The Warm House right by the marina at Neah Bay. It offers diner favorites along with a nice selection of seafood.

QUICK ESCAPE

SURVIVAL OF THE FINNISH IN SOINTULA

HARMONY CAN STILL BE FOUND IN THIS FAILED CO-OPERATIVE COMMUNITY. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

Sointula Co-op Hardware 2 , across the road from the southern docks, carries a good selection of marine hardware, and Tarkanen Marine Ways 3 is east of the breakwater if your boat needs major work done.

GRAB A BITE

A FASCINATING HISTORY, A WELL-RUN marina, a historic co-operative store, free bike rentals, and plenty of rural charm and character make Sointula (pronounced “Soyn too la”) on sprawling Malcolm Island a memorable port of call. The town’s name means “place of harmony” in Finnish, and not much has changed over the past century in this quaint 800-person settlement. To appreciate Sointula is to know its past. The area’s socialist history began in 1901 when 20 Finns, working for barely subsistence wages in the Nanaimo coal mines, rowed and sailed their way to uninhabited Malcolm Island and saw there a hope for a self-sustaining co-operative settlement by farming the land and utilizing the riches of the forest and sea. Their utopian dreams were to establish an independent society based on equality and sharing. Their ambitious plans were derailed within a decade, but we quickly discovered they established a peaceful and friendly establishment with proud roots. PNW-10

MOOR YOUR VESSEL In Rough Bay on Malcolm’s southern shore is Malcolm Island Lions Harbour Authority 1 , which offers 3,000 linear feet of moorage on a first-come, firstserved basis, as well as 15-, 20- and 30-amp power, water, Wi-Fi and garbage. The marina rents bicycles, so visitors can explore the island. The two docks are very well maintained and protected by a rock breakwater. The north dock provides closer access to the cleanly kept washrooms, showers and laundromat.

After getting Easy Goin’ settled and visiting the harbor office to pay our night’s moorage, it was time for lunch, so we strolled across the parking lot to The Burger Barn 4 . The menu includes more than burgers, with offerings that include wraps and fish and chips. We enjoyed our meal at one of three picnic tables overlooking the harbor and beautiful Broughton Strait.

GET OUT AND EXPLORE After lunch it was time to burn off some of those calories, so we decided to walk to the village. The one-mile walk to town is well worth making. We passed pastel-colored homes with cordwood stacks, creatively constructed wooden fences, well-maintained gardens, decaying remains of boathouses and net lofts from a once-flourishing fishery, artists’ studios with art pieces on display, and friendly Sointula residents who waved as they drove by. We also saw evidence of the island’s socialist traditions: remains of the Malcolm Island Shellfish Co-op, the Co-op Hardware Store and cars with politically motivated bumper stickers.

Our first stop was the Sointula Museum 5 , which details the history of the community and its transformation from Finnish commune to the eclectic community of today. The heart of the village is B.C.’s longest running cooperative store, formed as the Sointula Co-operative Store Association 6 in 1909. Here we discovered well-stocked shelves, a friendly butcher and clerks, and everything we needed. The co-op is closed on Sunday and Monday and doesn’t use plastic bags, so shoppers are requested to provide their own bags. Then we went across the street to The Upper Crust Bakery 7 , to see if there were any delectable baked tidbits we couldn’t do without. It’s possible to shop for island-made art and crafts at a few in-home studios. The Sointula Resource Centre 8 staff can point the way to the studios. The Resource Centre is also were you will find a small community market garden stand filled with island farm-fresh items. The center offers a free bicycle sharing program and can also provide trail maps and information.

MEET CAPT. AL BRUCE

COMMODORE, NORTH WESTERN AREA SEA SCOUTS CAPT. AL BRUCE IS THE skipper of the Sea Scout Ship Propeller, a 65-foot steel-hulled Army T-Boat in Lake Union that’s part of the Chief Seattle Fleet. The Coast Guard veteran — he retired after 28 years of service — is the commodore of the North Western Area Sea Scouts and is the third generation of five in his family to participate in Sea Scouts. He shared his thoughts and experiences with Sea Scouts with us.

Capt. Al Bruce

Sea: Tell us a bit about your role in the Sea Scout program. Bruce: My current role in Sea Scouting is multifaceted. As the skipper of the Sea Scout Ship Propeller and a member of the Chief Seattle Council, I am the senior adult advisor and mentor for a group of the 16 youth and 12 adults who are registered in our local program. In addition to the registered members, there are a significant number of parents who also volunteer in our programs. So for our Sea Scout Ship, you might say that I am the manager or director of a great volunteer organization that mentors, trains and supports our young sailors in the Sea Scout Program. As commodore of the North Western Area (Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and western Montana), my responsibilities are primarily those of coordinating and facilitating the activities of our various PNW-12

Sea Scout fleet volunteers. I help acquire support materials, recruit other volunteers and direct National Sea Scout policy and programs in our area. As an “old timer” in the program, I am part of a five-generation Sea Scout family. My father was my skipper and commodore before me. His father was his Boy Scout scoutmaster and Sea Scout advisor. My daughters were Sea Scouts and one is now one of my chief mates (Sea Scout advisor), and my grandchildren are current youth members aboard our Sea Scout Ship. How does Sea Scouts differ from Boy Scouts? The primary difference between Sea Scouts and Boy Scouts — both are programs of Boy Scouts of America — is age and experience emphasis. Boy Scouts, and its nationally acclaimed advancement

program, is based on individual youth development for younger, preteen boys. Sea Scouts are older, co-ed youth enrolled in an advancement and training program directed toward developing lifelong maritime skills, developing peer leadership opportunities and developing maritime career possibilities. What lifelong skills do you hope Sea Scouts gain through the program? Observably, the lifelong maritime skills we hope to impart on the youth in our programs are basic boating safety, boat handling and the ability to think, communicate and help others. To that end, we expose our youth to the daily challenges of running our boats. Engineering, navigation, cooking, maintenance and planning skills are developed and encouraged. Through training, cruising and just plain having fun on the water, we give our youth the opportunities to become meaningful members of the maritime (and larger) community. Can you tell us more about the trip from Seattle to Alaska on Propeller? During the summer of 2015, we had the opportunity to take 15 youth and four adults on a three-week cruise from Seattle to Ketchikan and back. Fifteen “individual” youth members of our Sea Scout Ship took the training vessel Propeller north on an adventure of a lifetime, but we came back with a “crew” of shipmates and friends. The first day out was an extended cruise of 42 hours, crossing Queen Charlotte Sound into the islands of the northern British Columbia coast. That relatively smooth crossing really brought home the reality of crew responsibility and teamwork. From there, we had two weeks of fantastic cruising in possibly the most beautiful area on earth (I am only slightly biased). The last week was our trip home. The crew came together and worked as a team, learned how to get along with each other, and had an experience not to be soon forgotten. What are your day-to-day tasks as commodore? Fortunately, my “day-to-day” tasks are

SEAMAGAZINE.COM DECEMBER 2016

+ Sea NWRegionals new.indd 12

10/31/16 2:09 PM

minimal. I do, however, have many weekly, monthly and seasonal tasks that need attention. Usually, I direct or confer with others on my staff to coordinate program activities that cross multiple Scout Council or state boundaries. In the North Western Area, we have three major activities that occur during the year. First, an area-wide regatta is held each spring where Sea Ships come together for competition, skill training and a lot of fun. Usually held at Camp Rilea on the Oregon coast in April, the NW Area Regatta draws between 90 and 150 youth and adults. Second, in the fall we hold a training conference, usually hosted by Chief Seattle Council or the Columbia Pacific Council of Portland, Ore. Seventy-five to 100 youth gather to learn some of the finer points of leadership and crew building. Third, we sponsor a sailing competition to select representatives for the biannual international sailing competition the Koch Cup, held at various homeports around the nation. What was your experience with the Coast Guard? I enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard as an engineman in 1966. I served four years on a buoy tender in Alaska and was promoted to engineman first class. Because of my Sea Scout experience, I was assigned the position of heavy weather SAR coxswain, small boat training coxswain, engineering watch officer and auxiliary engineering support division lead petty officer. After those four years, I transferred to the Coast Guard Reserve and was promoted to machinery technician chief petty officer where I directed the 13th Coast Guard District Reserve small boat coxswain and engineering training programs. In 1980, I accepted a direct commission as a lieutenant junior grade. I retired after 28 years of service, as a lieutenant commander. As an officer, I was honored to serve as a unit executive officer, rescue coordination center watch stander and 13th District reserve small boat logistics officer. I like to tell all my maritime associates that everything that I learned about the maritime life, I learned as an ordinary Sea Scout, perfected as a quartermaster Sea Scout and then utilized in the industry. A young Sea Scout, tugboat mate, deckhand and engineer, Coast Guard chief and officer, captain for Holland America Line’s Alaska dayboat operations, instructor at Seattle Maritime Academy, Sea Scout skipper and commodore, father and grandfather to the next generation of Sea Scouts — now that’s what I call a full and rewarding life of a career Sea Scouter.

We give our youth the opportunities to become meaningful members of the maritime (and larger) communities.

TOD INLET A VISIT TO THE SOUTHERN Gulf Islands of British Columbia would not be complete without a visit to beautiful Tod Inlet. It’s a well-hidden inlet off the southern Sannich Inlet that offers boaters far more than just access to the fabulous floral displays of the world famous Butchart Gardens. The lovely inlet has a very narrow entrance. The first bright to port is boater’s entrance to the Butchart Gardens. Continuing deeper into the inlet, leave to port the green can buoy U21, which marks a small rock spit, to port. The surrounding hillsides cradle the small basin and create an all-weather anchorage with good holding over a sticky mud bottom. Visitors are requested to set their anchor in waters deeper than 20 feet, to protect eelgrass. The surrounding Gowlland-Tod Provincial Park is worth exploring, given its 15 miles of trails through lush forest, remnants of a mining community, and the beautiful vistas of Tod and Saanich Inlets. During the summer months, boaters can view the Butchart Gardens Saturday fireworks from the deck of their boat. During the winter months, Tod Inlet often freezes over completely due to local concentrations of fresh water.

Venice’s canals used to canvas the area, but now the canals remain only in a few square blocks.

QUICK ESCAPE

ITALIAN OASIS

VENICE IS A BOATER’S WALK ON THE WILD SIDE. VENICE CRADLES MARINA DEL REY and is nestled on the coastline between Los Angeles International Airport and Santa Monica. It is famously named after the ancient city in Italy and is definitely the black sheep of the beaches in Southern California. There are many quirky shops and buskers to enjoy along the famous boardwalk. But beyond the boardwalk are many other hidden gems to savor.

WHERE TO MOOR Since there is no public mooring or guest docking at Venice Beach, boaters will need to dock in neighboring Marina del Rey where several marina options — The Marina at the Marina City Club, Esprit Marina del Rey, Marina Harbor Anchorage

and others — will suit any boat’s needs. A short taxi ride or a 20-minute walk will get you to your destination.

A LITTLE BIT OF ITALY First-time visitors to Venice really need

to see the canals 1 . What was once a mighty network of channels canvassing the entire area is now a few square blocks of eclectic waterfront homes bordered to the north and south by South Venice Boulevard

Each bridge that spans a canal looks slightly different. and 28th Avenue, and to the east and west by Eastern Court and Strongs Drive. Each bridge that spans a canal looks slightly different than the others.

Food trucks line the street and all the art galleries and local businesses open their doors late for patrons to enjoy on what is called First Fridays. Soak in the local culture and enjoy an atmosphere found nowhere else but Venice. In the fall, the Abbot Kinney Festival brings thousands of people together to celebrate the community and to enjoy art. Founded in 1984, this festival was created to raise money by the community for the community.

TAKE A BITE There are plenty of tiny-sized restaurants dotting the boardwalk. El Huarique 3 is a Peruvian takeout joint that has fantastic ceviche and saltados. Wash it all down with an Inka Cola for the full experience. The Wee Chippy 4 is another boardwalk that serves contemporary yet traditional fish and chips with a variety of delicious flavored toppings, dips, and salts. Zeldaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner 5 has fancy gourmet sandwiches and mini donuts. What more could a person want in life? Visit for a quick meal or take it to go and have a picnic.

DECEMBER’S QUESTIONS:

My boat is registered, so why would I need to document it with the Coast Guard? U.S. Coast Guard Documentation creates an official record of ownership with the U.S. Coast Guard, aids in theft recovery if your vessel is ever stolen and eliminates the need to mark state registration numbers on your boat. Many marine lenders require that a boat be documented in order to provide financing since it creates an official record of ownership and a way to record liens. Boats more than five net tons, measuring the boat’s volume not weight, are able to be documented. Most boats over 27 feet in length meet the five net ton requirement. Source: BoatUS (boatus.com/boatloans)

Coast Guard Documentation of a vessel will be required by most marine lenders if the boat is of applicable size. This typically comes in to play with vessels that are approximately 26 feet and larger. This allows the bank to secure its lien on the federal level. One of the primary benefits of documentation for you as the buyer is that a title search, called an abstract of title, is



done on the vessel prior to settlement to show what liens if any are outstanding on the vessel and to make sure that free and clear title can be passed to you as the buyer. Source: Sterling Acceptance (sterlingacceptance.com/boat-loans)

How crucial is a boat survey in securing a loan on a boat? A marine surveyor should be hired by every prospective buyer of a pre-owned boat to verify condition prior to purchase. Marine lenders generally require a marine survey to confirm condition and verify hull, engine and registration numbers of a boat before they will loan against it. Surveys can also help owners determine if they are carrying the proper amount of insurance coverage. There are national marine surveyor organizations whose members provide these services. Lenders usually can direct borrowers to local professionals to carry out a marine survey. An engine survey is a separate procedure that analyzes the engine components and systems, including transmissions, and should be done by an authorized engine mechanic. Source: National Marine Lenders Association (marinelenders.org/resources-for-boat-buyers)

I’m not one of those “art of the deal” types. Will a broker handle all of the potentially uncomfortable back-and-forth stuff? The art of negotiating is one of the most important benefits of using a professional broker. He will provide you with one of the best negotiating tools you will ever have — the person who can say, “I’ll have to discuss this with my client and get back to you.” The element of time and insulation from immediate answers is one of the biggest leverage factors that both parties bring into any negotiation. Further, a broker can often help to structure a deal in creative ways to reach an agreement that might not have otherwise been possible. Source: Certified Professional Yacht Brokers (cpyb.net)

Time to see what’s moving. Looks like a storm coming on…or is it? Nope, moving away. And what about that boat? Good, moving oﬀ my course, too. But that guy? Hmmm. He could be an issue. I may need to make a move. Better keep an eye on his movements. Good thing I have Fantom™ radar with MotionScope™ technology to do just that.

IT’S YOUR TIME.
