GETTING BETTER H

APPY NEW YEAR, everyone! We made it through

another orbit around the sun, and with any luck, you filled your captain’s log and your memory bank with boating adventures sure to warm the heart — and incite jealousy in others. We certainly enjoyed putting together 12 issues filled with yacht sea trials, cruising stories, gear reviews, how-to advice, DIY projects and much more. We hope you enjoyed reading it all. Look for 2017 to have more of the same and some new types of content.

If our time at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show and the previews of the upcoming boat shows are any indication, 2017 promises to be an innovative year for boat manufacturers and equipment makers.

Builders are not hesitating to put the latest technology to use in the building process and in the finished design of their boats, and the nimblest among them are anxious to implement suggestions from boat owners.

One thing boat buyers must be asking for is more usable outdoor space, as we are seeing outdoor social areas flourishing, especially on the bow, where manufacturers have moved from simple sunpads to entire covered seating areas with settees, tables and sunpads. It’s the kind of space previously seen only on superyachts. Flybridges are another area of social improvement. Helm stations are being worked into the overall social space, and wet bars and grills are finding their way onto smaller boats without sacrificing

too much in the way of seating, especially as more swim platforms get the hydraulic treatment and become the launch point for tenders, and much more. (See the Evo 43 on page 10.)

Another feature we’re seeing on more boats is tied to pod propulsion. Volvo Penta introduced IPS pods just more than a decade ago, and the joystick that operated the drives at slow speed revolutionized slow-speed operation and docking. Now, the joystick can be used to steer the boat at top speed, too, so builders are incorporating it into the right arm of the captain’s chair. While the driver still needs to use the throttles to control speed, steering can be accomplished with a flick of the wrist. I tested a 70-footer with this feature, and it really was amazing to control such a big yacht so simply and so precisely with my fingers. It’s a good bet the joysticks will only get more functional in the very near future.

Boat shows in Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego, Vancouver and other spots are coming soon, so I’m sure more trends will reveal themselves, which we’ll bring to you in the pages of Sea. Have a great 2017.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

TRANSFORMER-LIKE FEATURES GIVE THIS ITALIAN BOAT A DEFINITE WOW FACTOR.

A boat that’s a transformer. It’s the dream of every kid — and kid at heart. The Evo 43 from new builder Evo Yachts is just such a vessel. No, it doesn’t suddenly become a plane or a giant walking robot — how awesome would that be? — but its cockpit area opens up to both sides and extends aft, to create a teak “beach” that would be the envy of boats much larger than this 43-footer.

The sleek boat has a tall, blunt bow and flows softly downward toward the stern, where the teak deck is wide open. But at the push of a button, it becomes even more wide open, as the bulwarks slide out and increase the beam from 14 feet, 8 inches to 20 feet, 7 inches, creating a 270-square-foot cockpit — a 40 percent increase in usable space. A separate remote control operates an approximately six-foot-by-three-foot section of the deck and lifts it out of the rest of the deck and moves it aft. It has steps that lead to the platform. When extended partially, it can be a diving board. Flat, it serves as a passerelle-type extension. Keep going, and it goes underwater to become a submerged swim platform (or a lift for small dinghies).

Two sections of the aft deck fold — transform — into chaise-style seats that have custom cushions for comfort. The backrests of the forward cockpit seats can be removed and placed in the chaises as headrests. T-top and Bimini options are available on this otherwise open boat.

Belowdecks is a dinette that becomes a V-berth, a cabin to port and a head. The helm is minimalistic but highly functional with twin Garmin MFDs, engine throttles and a joystick for the twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesels. To port is a day galley, and aft are five seats. Top speed, according to the builder, is 38 knots, but at rest is where the Evo 43 will really shine.

The Longest Swim BEN LECOMTE SWAM ACROSS THE Atlantic Ocean in 1998. He completed the swim in 73 days from Hyannis, Mass., to Quiberon in Brittany, France. In the spring of 2017 he will attempt to swim across the Pacific Ocean, from Tokyo, Japan, to San Francisco, a distance of approximately 5,500 miles, all to raise awareness about sustainability.

Pygmy Mammoth

The pygmy mammoth, aka Channel Islands mammoth (Mammuthusexilis), is a dwarf elephant who descended from the Columbian mammoth. It lived on the Santa Rosa islands more than 13,000 years ago. After rising sea levels isolated the island, mammoths then evolved into an entirely new species, much more petite in stature due to limited resources.

What’s in a Name?

WATER HAS LONG BEEN RESPONSIBLE

for human beings’ surnames, starting with the obvious ones such as Rivers, Fisher, Atwater and Waterman. But there are others that aren’t so obvious but owe their origin to the sea.

The phrase “on a slow boat to China” actually originated with the great American songwriter Frank Loesser. His daughter, in her biography of him, wrote, “‘I’d like to get you on a slow boat to China’ was a well-known phrase among poker players, referring to a person who lost steadily and handsomely. My father turned it into a romantic song, placing the title in the mainstream of catchphrases in 1947.”

FAST FACT

Star of India, aka the world’s oldest active sailing ship, was launched five days before Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. It now calls San Diego home.

To be “shanghaied” is to be tricked aboard a ship by force, threat, drugs or liquor. In the 1800s, sea captains and shipping companies needed manpower to sail the seven seas and would trick hapless men into being an indentured sailor until the end of the voyage.

The Stuff of Legend JANUARY INCLUDES A FRIDAY THE 13TH, a date that, of course, carries with it many legends. According to oldsaltblog. com, one of the oldest tall tales mistaken as true is the story of HMS Friday, a ship commissioned by the Royal Navy sometime in the 1800s. Her keel was laid on a Friday, she was launched on a Friday and she set sail on her maiden voyage on Friday the 13th, under the command of Capt. James Friday — only she was never seen or heard from again. The truth is there never was a Royal Navy ship named Friday, or any other day of the week for that matter.

MEXICOREPORT

BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

MEXICO MADE EASIER BOATERS HEADING SOUTH OF THE BORDER CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NEW CHARTS, A NEW MARINA AND STREAMLINED PAPERWORK.

I

T’S A BRIGHT new year in 2017, so U.S. and Canadian boaters heading south to Mexican

waters should be pleased with three particular bits of good news: new charts, a new marina and new relief from a paperwork glitch.

GPS CHARTS Recreational boaters in the U.S. can easily stock up on all the GPS-accurate navigational charts they might need for Mexico — starting with GPS paper charts, then electronic charts.

Until now, getting GPS-accurate charts for Mexico has been impossible, with a few big commercial ports being the exception. The U.S. Coast Guard and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGIA) quit updating navigation charts for Mexican waters, unfortunately, before the Mexican Secretary of the Marines started in 2006 to update a few of the SM charts for GPS accuracy.

Mexico’s big petro ports with vast commercial importance have had good

GPS charts since 2006, but sleepy tourist stops weren’t updated for GPS until recently.

Much data was copied from the U.S.S. Tuscarora’s cartographic expeditions prior to 1880. Boaters had to discover the hard way that Puerto Vallarta’s shoreline, for example, actually lies two and a half nautical miles east-northeast of what the old charts (and chartplotter maps) said. Only radar and depth sounders could be trusted.

That’s why boating guidebooks (including mine, “Mexico Boating Guide”) had to create and publish small but GPS-accurate charts that detail the little anchorages and marina harbors.

WHERE TO GET CHARTS In San Diego, boaters heading to

Hundreds of newly updated GPS charts for Mexico are available at Seabreeze Nautical Books and Charts in San Diego, which so far is the single source in the U.S. Store owner Capt. Ann Kinner helps cruising boaters and sportfishers pick the right Mexico charts for their needs.

Mexico in 2017 can order and pick up the latest GPS navigation charts at Seabreeze Nautical Books (seabreezenauticalbooks. com), which, so far, is the only U.S. source.

By flipping through the Coast Guard-style “Catalogo de Cartas,” either in person or online, boaters can determine which charts they want and place an order. Store owner Capt. Ann Kinner can help get the correct charts.

Just like with U.S. charts, they come in scale levels. Large-scale, small-area charts cover harbors such as Ensenada, Turtle Bay, Mag Bay and Cabo San Lucas.

Regionals cover larger areas, such as SM 200 and SM 300, charting the entire upper and lower Sea of Cortez in two charts, including Mazatlan.

“The best news is that the Mexican Navy has again published and updated chart SM 010, which covers the entire Baja California peninsula and Sea of Cortez in one chart,” Kinner said. That regional

Marina_Ago2012.indd 1

7/31/12 3:22 PM

Marina Puerto Escondido and Marina Fonatur Puerto Escondido are now combined and expanding under the ownership of the Hamann Group.

The 100 moorings will stay in operation, but they now include access to a dinghy dock, showers, a laundry room and dock water. Plus, marina staff are being trained to provide better service to the boaters.

Sixteen canal-front properties west of the bay may sprout 6,000-square-foot homes, and around the Ellipse, boaters may see new restaurants, shops and condos.

CANCEL THE OLD TIP

chart is especially practical for West Coast boaters but had been out of print for nearly 10 years, according to Kinner.

NEW MARINA Fonatur’s sprawling marina property at Puerto Escondido was purchased by California developer Jeff Hamann, president of the Hamann Group. This popular but historically stalled development has encompassed two small marinas in separate spots, 100 moorings set in the main bay, several multistory buildings, residential canals, and the region’s fuel dock, boatyard and dry storage lot.

Enrique Salcedo Fava, owner of a 20-boat marina that’s part of the Hamann purchase, explained the changes in conjunction with Hamann.

“First, we are dredging the nine-foot entrance channel, so it will be 13.1 feet deep at mid-tide,” Salcedo said, so boaters can expect the deepened channel

i

by January 2017. “Next, we’re building a new 100-slip marina (for boats 30 to 150 feet LOA) in front of the green glass buildings, where a 15-slip dock has been in use. The new marina docks will be protected inside new floating breakwaters [that employ environmental technologies used in La Paz].”

The 100 new slips should be available by fall 2017. The 20-slip Marina Puerto Escondido in an enclosed basin will remain in operation. Additional side-tie docks are already constructed in a series of residential canals, and more docks with slips are planned for inside the Ellipse area, which lies between the Waiting Room and the main bay.

“Third, we’re expanding the boatyard’s dry storage area and adding shade bodegas for smaller boats or on trailers.” He said the concrete floor of the existing boatyard will be expanded for safer boat repairs and dry storage.

TIP Help

At a few Mexican Consulates in the U.S. Southwest, Customs and Immigration officials are working to cancel problematic TIPs for U.S. boaters.

• • •

Mexican Consulate Los Angeles, 2401 West 6th St., Los Angeles, CA 90057 Mexican Consulate Sacramento, 2093 Arena Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834 Mexican Consulate Phoenix, 320 E McDowell Rd. #105, Phoenix, AZ 85004

If you purchased a boat that had previously visited Mexico and had the required 10-year Temporary Import Permit (TIP), it’s likely the seller forgot to cancel the old TIP even though it was still valid in his name. Or perhaps you lost your own old TIP before it expired, and now you need a new one. Tracking down old TIPs to cancel them has been a hassle.

To help U.S. boaters comply with TIP rules, Enrique Salcedo Fava, president of the Mexican Association of Tourist Marinas, somehow twisted arms at the federal Customs (Aduana) and Immigration (Migra) departments and got them to work with Mexican Consulates in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Sacramento in order to cut through the red tape to cancel old TIPs that are problematic.

Boaters in this quandary need to make an appointment with one of the consulates, bring their original vessel documentation or registration and their passport, in order to prove current ownership of that boat.

The TIPs are registered in the boat owner’s name, not in the boat name.

Temporary Import Permits (about $50) are a great deal for boat owners. They allow owners to keep their boat in Mexican waters for up to 10 years without paying duty — which otherwise could be 100 percent. The TIP also allows owners to import boat parts from anywhere in the world — again, duty free. All the marinas require boaters to have a TIP on file, so the owner can legally leave that boat in the safety of a marina slips while they exit the country.

Whether they’re dreaming of far-flung locations or are content to cruise their local waters and discover something new in the familiar, boaters think big. We’re fortunate to have readers who are willing to share their adventures every month and give other boat owners ideas for their own cruise. Often, when cruisers sit down to write about their adventure, they learn something they hadn’t realized during their cruise, which in turn helps others.

We asked a handful of our writers to look back on 2016 (or a recent year) and find an episode that taught them something they could share. A few of them provided a New Year’s Resolution for 2017, too, which we hope our readers can put into practice along with our writers.

THE HARD WAY

DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO

BY BRIAN CALVERT

WHERE WE WERE: Indonesia

Brian Calvert’s travels aboard Furthur have taken him to some of the most spectacular cruising grounds, and he only finds trouble when he doesn’t follow his own rules.

WHAT HAPPENED: In seven years of cruising halfway around the world, I have set some pretty good rules for myself: X If it breaks buy two, because it will break again.

X Have spares for every system.

X If it hits an age where it might break, replace it.

X If you have two parts of a system and one fails, the other one must not be far behind to rebuild or replace it too.

X Most importantly, have a contingency plan for each system if it completely goes south.

These rules have kept me relatively trouble free, keeping me from ever having to terminate a voyage — except when I do not follow them!

A hydraulic stabilizer system has two equal working fins, and all the working parts get the same wear and tear. My Wesmar system has been a marvel, with more than 8,000 hours of smooth sailing.

After that much time, there is certainly going to be some wear, and if I’d thought proactively, I would have rebuilt both rams and pulled and repacked both fins. If only I’d listened to my own good advice.

The first ram pump sprang a leak. I was in a big city and able to get it rebuilt easily. At that point, the prudent thing would have been to pull the other one and send it in as well. I even talked about it. But alas, it was only talk.

A few months later, in the wilds of Indonesia, the second pump popped. No big city, no hydraulic expert, no spares and no plan.

I failed Capt. Brian’s boating rules completely. The good folks in the village were eager to help and came out in hordes to look at a system they had never seen, scratch their head and give advice. We pulled the pump and a couple of locals went for an all-night drive to get parts, returning later with a handful of seals that did not fit.

The local “mechanic,” who was a motorbike repair guy, came out.

He gallantly tried to put the odd assortment of seals to work. The gang all came out to the boat — three small boats full — where we installed the ram and fired it all up from the pilothouse. I heard a gleeful cheer … then a distinctive “ahh” as it leaked.

I had already been thinking of options and decided to just loop the hydraulic hoses away from the pump and pin the fin in the centered position. I was amazed at how well just one fin worked. I kept an eye on the hydraulic levels and headed homeward. This fix worked until I found qualified help and parts.

WHAT WE LEARNED: I now carry a full set of spare seals and hydraulic oil — and have a clear plan for what to do if one goes out.

On the bright side, I got to meet so many nice folks who tried to help us. There is always an upside to every challenge.

THE HARD WAY

BE MORE METICULOUS

BY ADAM JENKINS

Adam Jenkins (shown with daughter Sophia) learned to be more meticulous with daily systems checks when cruising.

BROKEN WINDOWS

BY KEN TENNEFOSS

WHERE WE WERE: Along the

Northern California/Oregon coast.

WHAT HAPPENED: A few years ago, I volunteered to help a friend move a recently purchased boat from the San Francisco area to Portland, Ore. We flew to the Bay Area to prepare the boat for the trip.

My friend’s son was flying in on Monday of the following week, and we had scheduled our departure for the Tuesday after his arrival.

As the time for departure neared, it looked like our

weather window would open earlier than expected. I mentioned to my friend that perhaps we should change our schedule and leave earlier than we had planned. He said his son could not get there until Monday, and he really wanted to share the experience of the maiden voyage with his son. I understood his desire to share this moment, so I agreed to wait until Monday afternoon to go.

I have a saying I use regularly: “More ships are sunk due to schedules than rocks.” In this case, I should have followed my

Where we were: Between Cabo San Lucas and La Paz in Mexico What happened: In 2016, my crewman, Tache Bentley, my 10-year-old daughter, Sophia, and I made a splendid passage from San Diego to Los Cabos in nine days. The passage was one of those where you have the wind on the quarter and are sailing toward warm points south. After four fun days in Los Cabos, Saint Brendan and crew departed for the Sea of Cortez. The evening of the first night out of Los Cabos we were motorsailing on a calm sea.

Bentley was on watch in the cockpit and I was snoozing in my bunk below. The auxiliary Yanmar diesel normally runs like a champ, smooth as silk … but at 2330 that night there was a strong odor of diesel fuel in the main cabin and soon the engine began to sputter before choking to a stop and leaving us adrift. I pulled the motor cover off and found an ugly mess. Thanks to a loose hose clamp, the main fuel line had come free from the fuel pump

own advice. By Sunday night, it was a near certainty we would have heavier seas for a portion of our voyage.

Sea conditions in the Pacific along the Northern California and Oregon coast can change quickly, and often they are worse than forecast. Such was the case this trip. To say it was a long night is an understatement.

The boat did great, taking everything the ocean threw at it, nine- to 12-foot seas and wind gusts up to 40 knots. The crew was another story. By daylight, lack of sleep, occasional

leading to the injectors and was pumping fuel into the bilge and on to the engine mounts. The fix was simple: reattach the fuel line and prime the fuel system. We were back underway in 30 minutes. But cleaning up an oily engine compartment and a slippery bilge in the middle of the night is not my idea of an amusing watch.

What we learned: I learned that even though we do regular inspections of our boat’s systems, sails and rigging, a skipper who is a little casual in his inspections can really ruin your day or night.

The weather was calm the night of our incident, but failures that happen in heavy weather or a lee shore can be dangerous for a boat and crew.

Cruising Resolution for 2017: I will be even more meticulous in the future to always inspect and check the fuel, electrical and steering systems, the sails, and the standing and running rigging of my boat on a daily basis while underway.

seasickness and mental exhaustion from the relentless action of the seas had the crew struggling to do the simplest tasks. It was then that we decided to get off the ocean at the nearest port and wait for better conditions.

Which we did.

WHAT WE LEARNED: The lesson I learned was we should have left when the window of opportunity was there or remained in port until another window developed. I now have another saying I frequently use: “It’s never a bad idea to stay at the dock.”

UNINTENDED ENTANGLEMENTS

BY KEN PAINTER

Always know how far you are from the other boats in an anchorage.

Where we were: Poulsbo, Wash.

What happened: Anchoring near other boats is always a bit stressful for me despite years of success.

Mariah, my 32-foot Gulf Pilothouse sailboat, sports a 20# Bruce anchor, 120 feet of high-test quarter-inch chain and 120 feet of half-inch rode managed with an electric windlass. The gear has served me well from Seattle to Canada and south all the way to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. However, this fall I had a minor “fender bender.” My buddy Cheston and I arrived in Liberty Bay about 11 p.m. on a Friday night and planned to anchor off the Poulsbo pubic dock. We anchored in 20 feet of water at high tide with a full moon, which meant up to a 10-foot drop at low tide, which should clear my five-foot keel easily. High winds were predicted that night, so I laid down about 100 feet of chain, just to be safe. We appeared to be at least 100 feet upwind of another sailboat; feeling somewhat safe, we went to bed. About 6 a.m. we heard a commotion on deck and Cheston said, “Ken, you better get up here.” Our chain had become entangled with our downwind neighbor’s rode and that boat’s crew was keeping the two hulls from banging together. We quickly let out more chain and untangled the mess without too much trouble. I guess the predicted winds never came and Mariah’s full keel moved differently than our fin-keeled neighbor, which created the tangle. I felt bad because we were the second to anchor and didn’t leave enough room between boats and possibly let out too much scope for the situation. The neighbors were gracious and there appeared to be no hard feelings or damage to either boat.

What we learned: Always know how far you are from the other boats in an anchorage and always double-check what’s happening once things are set, especially since weather forecasts are best guesses from professionals.

When it comes to anchoring, don’t guess, as Ken Painter found out.

ACTING A LITTLE DINGHY

BY PAM & MICK BACICH

Pam Bacich likes her off-the-boat excursions but is better prepared these days.

She’ll love a real kitchen.

This is the boat she’ll say Yes to.

WHERE WE WERE: Pacific Northwest WHAT HAPPENED: It was a calm, early summer evening in the Pacific Northwest when we headed out in the dinghy to explore and collect sand dollars on a rather remote sand spit. We beached the dinghy and walked to the far side of the spit when a sudden squall came out of nowhere. The winds were howling and the rain came pelting down. We ran back to the dinghy, which was now being tossed in the waves and was filling with water. We both plunged thigh deep into the freezing sea and turned the dinghy around.

We were now sopping wet and cold. We had been so comfortable with the familiar surroundings that we had left Mola Mola, our Fleming 55, without PFDs or a handheld radio. Night was approaching and we were stranded. Mick reached into his pocket and pulled out a very wet cellphone. Service in the area is spotty at best and the phone was flashing red and discharging. Luckily, with the help of an Information Operator, we were able to make one call for help to a

WHAT WE LEARNED: Don’t assume conditions will stay the way they are, and be prepared for when things change.

CRUISING RESOLUTION FOR 2017:

Whenever we head off to explore in the dinghy, even in familiar areas and in good weather, we will always carry the following: X Handheld radio X Inflatable PFDs (especially in cold Pacific Northwest waters) X Two-gallon container of fuel X At least two collapsible oars X If our adventures take us many miles away from Mola Mola, we will also take our iPad. Running a track of our route makes it easy to find our way back home. We’ve found that heavily treed islands can all look alike when you’re lost.

Be prepared whenever you’re away from the boat, as the Bacich crew discovered.

EMPERATURE IS OFTEN the first

and easiest-to-find indication of a developing problem and can quickly be used as a screening technique for situations that may benefit from further analysis. Affordable handheld infrared (IR) pyrometers — $40 to $100 — make this an easy preventative maintenance task.

KEEP AN EYE ON OVERHEATING TEMPERATURE CAN PROVIDE AN EARLY ALERT TO PROBLEMS IN A VARIETY OF ONBOARD AREAS.

BY DEANE HISLOP

We have a rule aboard Easy Goin’ that states “everything must serve two or more purposes.” A handheld IR thermometer, also known as infrared pyrometer, easily fits the criteria. The noncontact thermometer instantly measures surface temperatures in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas without contact. It also works well to determine the temperature of the barbeque.

The variety of onboard uses is nearly limitless: it can measure moving objects such as fan belts and propeller shafts, live electrical circuits (AC and DC), the stuffing box, batteries, cables, switches, circuit breakers, alternators, oil pans and hoses. You get the idea.

IR thermometers are able to measure the temperature of objects without making direct contact, because they specifically measure the energy being radiated from an object. Every object whose temperature is above absolute zero (-273.15C or -459.67F) emits infrared energy. The hotter an object, the more infrared energy it emits.

In simple terms, the basic components of a IR pyrometer are an optical system, a detector and a processing unit. The infrared energy emitted from an object to be measured is gathered by the optical system and then passed through a detector that transforms the infrared energy into electrical signals.

These signals are then changed in the processing unit into a temperature measurement, which is displayed on the unit.

+ Sea Experts new.indd 30

11/29/16 1:33 PM

Most units are shaped like a gun and are operated with a trigger. A laser assists the user in aiming the pyrometer at the object whose temperature is to be measured. The units are easy to use. To locate a hotspot, aim the thermometer outside the area of interest, then scan across with an up and down motion until you locate the hotspot.

As useful as infrared pyrometers are, they’re often misused. The most common fault involves the unit’s field of view. Many users believe that the area being measured is only as large as the laser dot. In fact, the pyrometer measures a cone-shaped area, and the temperatures of all objects within the cone’s footprint are averaged. Because the footprint grows as the meter is moved farther from the object being measured, it’s best to get as close as safely as possible to the object in question.

IR pyrometers cannot measure through

We have a rule that everything must serve two or more purposes. transparent surfaces such as glass; they will measure the surface temperature of the glass instead. Inaccurate readings will also occur from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper).

To compensate, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint.

The following are some normal operating temperatures (in Fahrenheit) that might be helpful in determining potential problem areas: • Alternator outer case and pulley: no more than 200 degrees while in operation. The Stator may operate at 250.

If it’s hotter, it’s being overworked and overcooled, which can be an indication that you need an alternator with a higher duty rating.

• Engine oil: crankcase oil pan 160 to 220 degrees. A higher temperature may be an indication of a restricted or plugged oil cooler.

• Exhaust system: wet exhaust hose no more than 200 degrees. A higher temperature may indicate a clogged riser.

• Stuffing box: no more than 30 degrees above the ambient water temperature; dripless boxes often run somewhat cooler.

If it’s warmer, the box is either overtightened or lacks sufficient water flow.

• Transmission fluid: 130 to 175 degrees.

License #0E32738

For AC and DC systems, resistance to current flow creates heat; therefore, a pyrometer can be used to scan for weak and failing components such as batteries, connectors, cables, switches and circuit breakers.

Proper operating temperatures for other engine components may vary based on the manufacturer’s recommendations.

PAYING FOR A WANDERING EYE

F

OR A NUMBER of years, I’ve been taking care of a local yacht club’s

15-foot Whaler tender with a 60 hp Evinrude. Problem was, for some reason I was the only person who could get the engine started. This summer the tender languished in the parking lot. I was at the club working

on someone else’s boat when Kent, the manager, came over to tell me the Whaler had to be sold, since I was the only person who could start it. Resignedly, I asked him to tell me how much they wanted, so I could put someone in contact with them.

He told me. Someone smacked the back of my head and “I’ll take it” flew out of my mouth. That was all he was waiting for, and I was the proud (?) owner of the tender.

(Note: The Nurse was not to know.) It had to be off the lot in one hour. I managed to hook up to the trailer and haul it to a friend’s house less than a mile away, where my purchase became $486 more when the

axle broke.

Mechanically, it’s perfect. I hope to sell it and make enough to take The Nurse to McDonald’s for lunch. But in the middle of this I decided the console needed gauges, so I removed it, put it in the front seat of the truck and drove it around the rest of the day until I got home, where Chloe, the fake Lab, normally announces my homecoming to the neighborhood. Luck! No Chloe! I took the console from its seatbelt and very carefully, very quietly eased around the side of the house, heading to the workshop, where I’d drill for the gauges. The Nurse and Chloe met me at the corner, just

returning from a walk. Words my mother didn’t teach me went through my head.

At that point I would rather have tried to explain why I was caught in flagrante dilecto with a stunning young lady than why I was carrying a console. The conversation flew southward from “Hi, honey, you’re home!” to “Who’s console?” to “I thought our boat had a fiberglass console,” to “You did what?” Hey, I’ve been downsized twice, slept in my boat, my truck, and with my dog, so I survived the well-deserved thrashing, though I continue to hear about our $800 boat that sits on its trailer across the street: Why was it washed, waxed, painted, and the engine run in April if I was just going to turn my lust to a smaller competitor?

My old bones will probably bend enough to take the Whaler for a trial run, if the waters are smooth enough. Then I’ll sell it, take Miss Mary Lou to lunch, and hopefully have enough left over to gas up our boat and take her for a ride.

52 COMMAND BRIDGE WITH POWER TO RUN AT 30 KNOTS AND THE

PRESENCE TO IMPRESS AT THE DOCK, THE 52 CB IS A FIT FOR BOATERS MOVING UP IN SIZE OR COMING DOWN FOR EASIER CRUISING.

A

S I STEPPED out of the car at the marina, the morning cool was yielding to the rising

sun’s warmth. Blue colored the sky, reflecting off the glassy-flat cove. A wisp of a breeze was sufficient to keep the no-see-ums at bay. Ah yes, the perfect boating day.

All I needed was a boat. Enter the new Carver 52 Command Bridge.

At first glance, every aspect of this yacht was vying for my attention, and I was still on the dock. It had a presence that told me I wasn’t simply getting on a boat — I was going boating!

Carver has produced an eye-catching style in the 52 CB. There’s sufficient freeboard to keep the green water where it needs to be, but it’s not so overbearing that it looks like a wall of fiberglass. Hull windows are properly sized and neatly blended into the hull’s contour, not a hodge-podge of black-out panels placed hither and yon.

A sleek profile with an unbroken shear, a swept-back windscreen, and a low-slung radar arch and hardtop are accented by the blunt axe-like bow that showcases Carver’s innovative approach to its line of coupe and bridge yachts from 34 to 52 feet.

As I stepped aboard from the integrated swim deck, it was quickly evident that

Carver built this yacht “up,” allowing the 15-foot, 8-inch beam to be fully utilized, especially below. And utilized it is, with three lower staterooms that scream to be used not just at night.

SLEEP IS OVERRATED Forward below is the VIP stateroom in the peak. A centerline island queen berth is accented by five overhead lights, rope lighting in the soffit, reading lamps and ambient light via the deck hatch (with an integrated escape ladder). Hull windows add sea-level viewing. Shelving, drawers, lockers and storage compartments keep all tidy. With 6 feet, 6 inches of headroom, an entertainment system and a high-gloss black cherry finish with vinyl accents and textured panels, the VIP might be the place for an afternoon siesta or to take in a good book.

To starboard is the guest stateroom, with

full walk-around decks, solid rails and grabrails along the house, it’s safe to get around. The modular layout helps areas blend together or stay as unique locations. For Carver, the 52 CB fills a step in the upward progression of a boater, but also someone moving down from a Marquis yacht. Sit back and enjoy cruising on the 52 CB.

Judicious use of space in all areas of the 52 CB — beginning with the well-thought-out engine room and continuing to the bow sun lounge — and an overall design aesthetic mean the main deck and the accommodations spaces are comfortable and cohesive.

twin berths, overhead and courtesy lighting, a side opening port and a nightstand.

It’s a good fit for kids but also for adults, as headroom is sufficient. Opt for the washer/ dryer and they’ll be fitted within.

Carver designed the master stateroom to be accessible via a private staircase in the salon. Down the staircase are cabinets that house the yacht’s AC/DC breakers and controls, which keeps these critical controls out of the way but easily accessible.

At full beam and amidships, the master is a spacious oasis unto itself. A queen-size berth is centered, and a chaise lounge to port is for times when one just needs a quick recharge. Accoutrements include a textured headboard, a high-gloss cherry wood finish, a variety of materials and shades for the walls and ceiling, hull windows with opening portholes, a 32-inch flat TV and storage all around. Lighting options include 11 overhead LEDs, headboard and soffit rope lights, under-berth accents, reading spots and a table lamp. Set the lights to pretty much any mood desired.

When it’s time to refresh, the master head has owners covered. An enclosed shower stall with a rain showerhead has elbow room and includes a frameless glass door, tile accents and a teak seat. The vanity includes a vessel sink, upper/lower/side storage and a Tecma EZ Fit freshwater head.

Carver offers an aft stateroom, which is a nice addition if crew are regularly used, or perhaps for extended family members (no mother-in-law jokes, please).

PICK THE PLACE With all that said, it’s going to be difficult

to pinpoint a favorite place on board, as there are many to choose from. There’s the aft deck with a U-shaped settee large enough for sitting or lounging and flanked by a teak dining table. Open the glass aft doors, which all fold back, and create an integrated aft deck/salon.

Inside is the port galley, which blends nicely with the overall décor. Its layout is simple but fully featured. Appliances include a recessed Cuisinart microwave/ convection oven, a two-burner Whale electric cooktop, an under-counter Nova Kool refrigerator/freezer unit, twin stainless sinks with covers and about an acre of counter space. Interestingly, Carver built in a second Nova Kool refrigerator/ freezer unit across in the lower section of the entertainment center. One can separate drinks from food items or just have extra food chilling for longer trips. Not to waste space, Carver also designed a waste receptacle drawer next to the refrigerator.

Relax in the amidships raised salon, which includes port and starboard seating and nary a bad view from any seat — I tried them all. With dark wood flooring and contrasting lighter furnishings, the interior motif is carried throughout. Enjoy a meal at the high-low pedestal table or pop out a few folding tables for extra guests. It’s also a comfortable area for lounging or watching the Insignia 40-inch flat TV with Polk sound bar speakers.

A lower helm station is available as an option, but many owners, including myself, would not recommend it. First, it eats into the salon area, reducing the starboard seat’s length. Second, the flybridge can be

enclosed, so owners are more likely to pilot the 52 CB from above rather than below.

Sure, it may be easier for some owners to handle lines or run solo with a lower station, but with all of the remote operating devices on the market, I would go that way for the few times you may really need to be on the main deck when during docking.

TAKE THE CON Have I mentioned the command bridge?

It is a patently functional level with a smart layout and a low profile, so it looks good and will certainly attract a crowd. With a full hardtop secured by metal stanchions forward, which are contoured to the hardtop and support it across the width to eliminate any vibrations, and the aft radar arch, this area can be fully enclosed for year-round boating. Just add AC and heat.

Easy to access thanks to the molded-in staircase, the CB actually becomes another functional area, even at the dock.

Carver placed the helm forward to starboard and gave it full functionality

aft — everyone should be able to find a comfortable position. Behind the seat is the wet bar/grill station. The unit contains a sink and faucet, a Kenyon electric grill, a Norcold refrigerator and storage. On test day, it would have been very easy to drop anchor, grill up some burgers, crack open a few cold ones and enjoy the sunset with my gal. Trouble is, I had no meat, malt liquor or mate, but you get the idea.

Crowd control is easy with the large U-shaped settee that wraps around a highgloss teak table. Serve a meal, pass some drinks or just take a bit of solitude and enjoy the plush seating with soft backrests.

SOUNDS OF SILENCE When we were running at speed, I was surprised at how quiet the 52 CB was. Of course, down in the salon is no problem.

Up on the bridge, thanks to the helm seat being a bit low and a windscreen, the wind actually runs up and over the driver’s head without the blasting wind sound (unless one stands up). This makes it easy to hold

Twin Raymarine 12-inch multifunction displays flank a seven-inch VesselView7 engine monitoring system around the steering wheel pod, leaving the left console area for breakers and ancillary controls such as trim tabs and the spotlight. To the right is a Raymarine autopilot and a Cummins joystick controller. The right-side arm console houses the VHF and electronic throttle controls.

The captain has a single bolstered swivel barrel seat but is never too far from the festivities.

And let the games begin. Want a front row seat? No problem, as there’s a plush cushioned L-settee to port with a chaise lounge. It’s great for keeping company with the captain or as a place for someone to sit and provide another set of eyes to navigate. Thanks to the three-way seating — forward, to the right or facing

conversations with nearby passengers.

In addition, the twin Cummins QSC 8.3 600 hp engines do a pretty good job of being quiet, and the insulation in the engine room helps a lot. With V-drives helping to keep the engine room as compact as possible, there’s plenty of room for systems, filters and the Kohler 23 kw Decision-Maker 3500 generator.

The 1,200 hp of the Cummins diesels pushed the 42,000-pound 52 CB up to 30 knots at 3000 rpm. Pull back to 23 knots at 2500 rpm for a kinder cruise. Either way, the axe bow will slice through any seas it comes across. It’s a family-friendly platform for running to Catalina Island, inland cruising or island hopping.

Lest I forget, there’s a forward sun lounge with split oversized chaise seats, a center console to hold drinks and gear, and stereo controls. It’s a perfect location to end a perfect day on the water.

BENETEAU

GRAN TURISMO 40 A LITTLE LONGER AND A FEW KNOTS FASTER,

THIS COOL SPORT CRUISER MAY BE THE ANSWER FOR BOATERS MOVING UP OR DOWN IN SIZE.

I

T HAD BEEN a while since I “shopped” Barrett Canfield’s Beneteau supermarket at South

Coast Yachts in San Diego, but since it was time to test the remix version of the Gran Turismo 40, I headed south for the day, looking forward to Beneteau Alley. The French builder’s latest model to get a facelift, the GT 40, replaces the previous GT 38, and much has been changed. The boat is packed with fun new features and has an even better ride with an improved AirStep2 hull designed to slay waves with nary a bounce.

ON DECK As soon as I stepped aboard, I could see the GT 40 is strikingly different from the 38. The sport cruiser has benefited from Nuvolari & Lenard’s stylish rounded lines, and while it is still all about open living, it now looks a little sleeker. The profile gained two stacked rows of glass in the cabin house and angular windows in the hull, and the double sunpad on the foredeck now comes with reclining backrests and cupholders.

A large electric swim platform is new and is an easy way to board from the dock or dinghy. The expanded teak beach submerges below the waterline to form a fun playground and help load and carry the tender. Gone is the opening garage. In its place is the (optional) transom galley module, which Beneteau borrowed from its upscale Monte Carlo line. A sink, a Kenyon grill and a prep surface stand at waist level and within conversation distance of the cockpit. It’s a great use of transom space and keeps the heat and smoke of grilling out of the cockpit.

And speaking of the cockpit, Beneteau completely reconfigured and enhanced it.

A small Isotherm refrigerator is to port, while a wet bar is tucked behind the helm seat. A straight settee is to port and the opposite L-shaped lounge wraps around a high/low table, which can also be made into a sunpad. Captain and crew can cook,

tend bar, lounge, tan and drive from within a very compact space. Phew, that’s a lot of functionality that all fits together nicely.

It’s like a game to discover the surprises and clever features in every corner.

HECK OF A HELM At the helm, the dash inspires confidence. Everything is within reach, including the throttles, joystick, analog gauges, rocker switches and the single (optional) Simrad NSS 12-inch multifunction display with add-ons such as autopilot and 4G radar. There are wide mullions on either side of the windshield but with the seat on the centerline, the driver can see clearly to the bow and beyond. A backup camera is optional but not really necessary, since the driver can stand to starboard and use the great sightlines to the aft corners to back into the slip using the joystick with one hand. Because the double helm seat is in the middle, there is room enough for a companion seat to starboard.

The enormous electric sunroof opens from the windshield back over a part of the seating area, so passengers are outside even when they’re in. People aren’t cooped up but still have protection from the elements, especially with a full enclosure

and cockpit air conditioning. The overall effect of all that overhead glass and open air is of riding in a convertible.

The sidedecks are narrow but the handholds along the cabin house are good, so crew can move forward and aft while underway. Amidships cleats on both sides will make it easy to tie up at the dock.

In the revamp, Beneteau upped the luxury factor by again leaning on its luxe Monte Carlo line. Leather-wrapped handholds, designer colors and antiglare paint surfaces give this little yacht a highend appeal. When I asked the owners (who came along on the test) what they liked best, the husband pointed to the power and the ride. But I couldn’t even count the number of references to styling and finish they both made. It was clear they delighted in how the boat felt and presented itself.

CREATURE COMFORTS The interior has stayed much the same as it was on the GT 38. Entry to below is on the port side and down four steps.

Straight ahead is an L-shaped settee and a truncated table — four could squeeze around it, though I have no idea why anyone would try with all the great space up top. To starboard is the galley with a two-burner ceramic Kenyon stove, a microwave, a single sink and an 80-quart Waeco under-counter refrigerator. Round opening portlights both port and staboard provide light and ventilation.

The GT 40 is a two-cabin, one-head boat with plenty of privacy and separation between the owners and guests. The master is forward with a large center island bed and three soft-close stowage drawers below. Aft is the guest cabin with two singles that can be made into one double berth. To starboard is a wet head, and it’s the only one aboard. It is accessed from the salon and has an electric toilet — a VacuFlush head is optional — and a

The GT 40 has all the creature comforts of its predecessor, including two staterooms, a salon and a head belowdecks, and it upped the onboard dining ante with an aft grilling station.

vessel sink. Flatscreen TV pre-wiring is standard both inside and in the cockpit.

Andreani Design has worked with Beneteau’s Monte Carlo line since 2005, and its motif is all about clean surfaces, hidden functionality and luxury touches that elevate the finish, which was why the owner said she “fell for it.” The standard finish is walnut Alpi wood with brown oak laminated flooring. Indirect lighting gives the interior a soft glow.

ON THE WATER As usual, San Diego Bay was flat calm on test day, so we made waves by running circles and figure-8s and playing in our own wake. Beneteau’s AirStep hull is now in its second iteration, and the 40 benefits from the continued evolution. AirStep2 introduces air from vents along the hull sides and funnels it beneath the boat.

The air cushion that is created reduces friction in the aft third of the hull as the air is channeled back and out the transom, providing a bit of lift. Presumably, this provides not only a better ride but increased fuel efficiency, and it minimizes bowrise when the boat is coming out of the hole.

I must say that our turns were sharp

Thanks to a larger sunroof and windows all around, the cockpit has an outdoor feel.

and snappy and the boat never jumped, waddled or got bogged down. From a full stop, we came up on plane in just six seconds, at around 13 to 14 knots and 2400 rpm. We found the top speed of 32.7 knots at 3650 rpm, where we presumably burned almost 30 gph. (The speed numbers are from our actual test but consumption is from factory trials, since our test boat was not configured to provide fuel burn information.) An economical cruise would be around 19 to 20 knots, where the engines are expected to burn 15 gph. At 3000 rpm, the engines were burning 18.5 gph while pushing the GT 40 to 24.5 knots. Down at 2200 rpm, the boat was moving 12.2 knots while the Volvos burned around 10 gph.

The GT 40 comes standard with twin Volvo Penta D4 300 hp diesels with sterndrives, the same as on our test boat. An upgrade to 370 hp D6 engines is availbale but may not be necessary even at the top end, because the boat comes in at around 17,000 pounds dry, so it’s light. A joystick is optional but I’d spec it because it provides maneuvering ease similar to pod drives. It takes a bit of getting used to, because the Quick bow thruster isn’t as powerful as the two sterndrives, so drivers will have to get the hang of crabbing a bit. The engines and the upgraded (optional) 5 kw genset are accessed via the cockpit sole.

OVERALL THOUGHTS The Gran Turismo series includes a complete line of production motoryachts from 35 to 49 feet. The base model for the GT 40 starts at less than $400,000, but a well-equipped boat will run another $150,000. Groupe Beneteau now provides packages in trim levels (Essential and Lounge) and packs, which include electronics, seating options, décor and system upgrades. This is a more simplified approach and easier to understand.

Potential buyers who like compact boats that really get clever with space, come packed with amenities and have a snappy ride may enjoy exploring the new GT 40.

Because it hits the sweet spot for boaters on both trajectories — moving up from a small boat or down from a big cruiser — this is a model many buyers may have on their short list.

DELTA

88 CARBON SPORT YACHT A LIGHT, NIMBLE, SPACIOUS AND SOCIAL SWEDISH YACHT COMES CALLING ON U.S. PORTS.

C

ARBON FIBER AS a construction material has long been the choice of certain sectors of

the military and aerospace industries, favored for its lightweight strength and durability. Yacht builders have taken notice, realizing carbon fiber’s potential in the areas of noise and vibration reduction, speed and fuel efficiency, malleability and weight savings. Taking all those advantages and packaging them together was an irresistible draw for Delta Powerboats when it began producing boats in the early 2000s.

Delta has proprietized the process a bit to build its line of boats, from the smallest — the 26 Open — to the flagship 88 Carbon Sport Yacht, which made its U.S. debut at the 2016 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show. We’ll let the builder’s own words tell the tale: Sheets of carbon fiber are carefully reinforced with a vinylester and divinycell resin and then vacuum infused within the hull or superstructure mold. This process guarantees that the resin is evenly distributed and there are no areas of compromise.

Combine the technical aspects of building with carbon with the latest in propulsion, and the result is a near-85-foot

42

yacht that can reach nearly 40 knots while saving up to 40 percent in fuel costs, according to Delta. Triple Volvo Penta IPS 1200 diesels, which each crank out 900 hp, are the powerplants, delivering a 38.5 knot top speed. In addition, the joystick can control the boat’s movements at speed, not just at the dock, so driving the yacht is flick-of-the-wrist simple.

GET SOCIAL While the technical aspects of the 88 Carbon are impressive, passengers can’t lie in the sun on a sheet of carbon fiber or sit and enjoy a cocktail seated atop divinycell

Teak abounds in the 88 Carbon, dressing up the sole, the furniture, the window frames, the ceiling and more. Social areas dominate the layout of the yacht, including three captain’s chairs at the lower helm and seating for five at the bridge helm.

From the sharp entry of its bow to its tender-ready swim platform 85 feet aft, the 88 Carbon presents an impressive profile.

people can be at the helm. Aft of that, facing to the rear, is a C-shaped settee that can easily seat six people, and probably eight. It wraps around a table, for dining and drinks.

A wet bar is aft and includes a sink, a refrigerator and plenty of working surface.

MAIN LEVEL

resin, so let’s talk comfort, style and luxury.

Owners with real flesh-and-bone friends — not thumbs-up icons on the smartphone — will immediately notice and appreciate the three separate social areas on the yacht. The first is on the aft deck and consists of a bench settee, a dining table and five portable chairs.

There’s room for 10 to sit and for eight to enjoy an alfresco meal. An awning extends out of the roofline to provide full coverage of the aft deck. The second social area is at the bow, where a C-shaped settee wraps around a table and twin sunpads are forward of that. The area can be as social or serene as its occupants desire.

The last outdoor gathering area is on the flybridge — heck, it is the flybridge. The centerline captain’s chair is flanked on both sides by doublewide companion seats, so five 44

Inside, the 88 Carbon feels very high end, with teak on the walls, accenting the ceiling, used as furniture and even on the sole. Remote-controlled OceanAir blinds are leather covered. Two leather sofas flank the walkway from the aft deck to points forward, creating a conversation pit that spans the salon and seating up to 12 people.

Just forward of the salon, passengers will find the galley to starboard and a formal dining area to port. A teak table is surrounded by eight matching dining chairs, and the chef should have no problem creating a fantastic meal, because the galley is fully equipped with a five-burner Miele cooktop, a microwave/convection oven, a six-foot-tall side-by-side refrigerator/freezer and plenty of Corian countertop prep space. Delta even supplies cutlery, glassware, pans and casserole dishes. A Miele dishwasher will handle cleanup.

Forward of the galley/dining area is the helm, which includes three captain’s chairs, a leather companion loveseat to port and a futuristic-looking dash. The base of the dash is sloped slightly upward, to make switches more accessible and gauges more readable, and the face of the dash is a floating pod — a feature being utilized by more builders. Three flat 19-inch Raymarine multifunction displays are housed in a rectangular unit that appears to float above

the dash. The Volvo Penta joystick is built into the right arm of the captain’s chair, so the driver can steer the boat without even leaning forward; however, the joystick doesn’t control speed, so the driver will have to reach for the throttles on the dash to speed up or slow down.

SLUMBER PARTY Four staterooms, all with an en suite head, share the belowdecks space on the 88 Carbon. The VIP is in the bow, while two twin cabins occupy the space between the VIP and the amidships master, which spans the nearly 22-foot beam. The kingsize berth’s head rests against the port hull side, and a seating area is opposite it, complete with a bench settee, a table and a desk/vanity top with a seat and a small refrigerator. Wide hull windows on both sides let in natural light.

The master head includes one long Corian countertop with twin sinks, Corian flooring, a Tecma toilet, a glass shower enclosure, storage and a wall of “opacity” glass between the stateroom and head. The shower includes a wand and a rain-shower head.

Aft of all the accommodations, and accessed separately, is another stateroom with four bunks, a head and a small galley, which can be crew quarters, if the owners don’t want to operate the yacht on their own, or accommodations for kids or grandchildren. In total, 12 people can sleep on the 88 Carbon — more, if folks don’t mind stretching out on sunpads and settees.

While the Ft. Lauderdale show marked the debut for the 88 Carbon in the U.S., we doubt the yacht will be the lone 88 in the country for long.

COMMON SENSE AND THE GOLDEN RULE GO A

LONG WAY.

BY DEANE HISLOP

B

eing the captain of a vessel requires interaction with other boaters. In a perfect world, every boater would strive to be as courteous and pleasant as possible at all times. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and anyone who has spent any time on the water can tell at least one story about a rude boater. Of course, it’s easy to avoid being the boater others tell stories about. All it takes is common sense and attention to basic boating etiquette.

New boaters and old salts can all benefit from a refresher course in on-thewater manners.

Rules of the Road > If you’re new to boating, take a boating safety course, learn the Rules of the Road and other aspects of safe boating, including terminology, and get a Boater Education Card or Pleasure Craft Operator Card, whether it’s required in your state or not.

When boating in congested areas, it is essential to know the “Rules of the Road.”

Piloting a boat on a busy weekend is similar to driving in rush-hour traffic on the freeway, making it essential to follow the rules and regulations.

However, even if no risk of collision exists, boaters are not free to do whatever they want when operating their boat.

Underway > While overtaking a slower vessel or fishing boat, give it as much room as possible and slow down so the wake doesn’t rock the other vessel.

Proper etiquette — not to mention the law — requires boaters to observe no-wake zones and all other boating rules. There is nothing worse than being in a trawler or a sailboat, maybe cooking breakfast, and being suddenly overtaken in close quarters by a go-fast, wake-throwing boat.

If you’re overtaking a vessel that’s under sail, overtake it, if possible, well to leeward or pass astern in a crossing situation, so as not to block the wind.

Watch your wake; you are responsible for any damage it may cause.

There are good reasons why harbors, canals, small bays and inlets have maximum wake laws imposed. The captain of the vessel is responsible for damage to shorelines, docks, boats and other infrastructure caused by excessive wash.

Marina Manners > At the fuel dock, keep in mind that other boats may be waiting for fuel. Nothing says “rude boater” like a captain who monopolizes space at a busy fuel dock long after his boat is fueled. If you need to shop or spend time ashore, clear the fuel dock and use guest or temporary moorage designed for “short-term docking.” This rule also applies at pumpout stations.

I was once told that a successful docking is nothing more than a controlled crash. If you are already docked in a marina and see another vessel entering or leaving a slip, it’s a common courtesy to offer your assistance — especially true if no dock staff are available to assist. This may sound like an oxymoron, but boating is like a fraternity of individuals; yes, everyone has a right to one’s space, but everyone provides assistance whenever necessary.

While docked, make sure the area around your slip is clear and free of tripping hazards.

Nobody wants to moor next to the boater who looks like he is having a yard sale, nor do you want to trip a passerby who is looking up at a boat’s new radar. Roll up hoses and keep power cords and excess lines neat. Keep buckets, mops, tackle and other items stowed. And if you have used marina equipment that is to be shared by others, put it back in its place when you are finished. 

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JANUARY 2017

11/29/16 1:34 PM

An empty slip may simply mean the occupants are away temporarily and will not be pleased to find you in residence upon their return. Always receive a docking assignment from the harbormaster or dock attendant.

When hailing the marina on the VHF for a slip assignment, switch the radio to low power, so you are not broadcasting 20 miles and tying up the radio channel or damaging nearby radios.

If you cruise with man’s best friend aboard, as many people do, be aware that while you love your dog and couldn’t cruise without him, other people might not feel the same. If your pet is rambunctious, take it for a walk, but be sure to scoop up and dispose of messes properly — don’t hose droppings into the water. Never let a dog or cat urinate on dockside hoses, lines or another boater’s area. Urine isn’t just offensive, it’s as corrosive as sea water.

Adhere to no-wake speed inside the marina. If you are going to err, err on the side of going too slow.

If you are going to moor on a linear side-tie dock, do so in such a manner that your boat doesn’t claim more dock than it should. If there is a 60-foot opening on the dock and you have a 28-foot boat, don’t take your 28 feet out of the middle.

Pick one side or the other. Also, use a spring line in each direction, so your boat doesn’t move either direction and hit another boat.

Keep your kids off other people’s boats and under reasonable control. Don’t let them grab and play with another boat’s lines or anything else.

Respect the marina’s public areas. Treat the restrooms and laundry room as if they were your own.

If you cruise with man’s best friend aboard, as many people do, be aware that while you love your dog and couldn’t cruise without him, other people might not feel the same.

Getting Anchored > There is one fundamental rule of anchoring: first come, first served. The first boat into any anchorage get its choice of location, and later arrivals must not infringe on the first boat by anchoring dangerously close. In fact, this is the only rule of anchoring etiquette that actually has legal standing. The maritime courts have ruled that an earlier arrival has the right of way even through it’s at anchor. Boats arriving later must stay clear and, if they don’t, bear the responsibility for any damage.

This can be an issue if the wind or current changes, and one or both will, causing boats to swing in differing circles depending on the amount of scope they have deployed on their anchor rode. So before dropping the hook, be careful to consider what will happen when conditions change.

The “first-come, first-served” rule also applies to the anchoring style. If the first boat is lying to a single anchor, then all later boats should do the same. If the first boat has a bow and stern hook out, it sets the precedent for the anchorage.

Enter an anchorage or mooring area at a slow speed and without a wake that would upset the neighbors’ dinner or drink.

If you arrive at your favorite anchorage and it’s empty with the exception of one lonely boat, do not proceed to anchor alongside it. Such an act will show a lack of experience and/or anchoring confidence — and will guarantee no new friends.

Anchoring is all about elbow room. As you choose your spot, pay close attention to whether the nearby boats are using chain or rope rode, and leave space accordingly. Boats on chain tend to swing in tighter circles than those on rope; boats on rope will probably also use more scope, making their circle larger still.

Avoid anchoring in areas with native sea growth, such as eelgrass in the Northwest, which often supports delicate ecosystems.

11/29/16 1:34 PM

Settled In Once you’re comfortably at anchor, don’t stop being a good neighbor. If you plan to use your grill, don’t send clouds of smoke into boats downwind. If you need to run your engine or generator to charge the batteries, pick a time when it isn’t going to foul the anchorage with noise and fumes. And don’t impose your cellphone conversations on the entire anchorage; sound carries very well >

over water.

Most boaters anchor to escape the noise and activities of the marina. Noise is likely the most common irritant in an anchorage. Excessive noise at inappropriate times can spoil other boaters’ experience in an anchorage.

Whether your musical preference is Jimmy Buffet or Aerosmith, don’t assume the rest of the anchorage or marina is dying to listen. Remember that sound carries far on the water and your neighbors may retire shortly after dark, so even though you want to party until midnight, either go with the flow or go elsewhere.

Refrain from buzzing around the anchorage in your dinghy at high speed — kids included. Teach children the value of peace and quiet. There is nothing more annoying than the whining sound of an outboard motor and a dinghy’s wake slapping on the hull while it rocks your boat.

Don’t leave the generator running for the neighbors to enjoy while you slip away in the dinghy to a quieter spot for a few hours.

Turn on the anchor light at night. It’s not required in most charted small-craft anchorages, but it’s wise to have an anchor light shining brightly for the boats that arrive in the dark of night. Many times we’ve emerged from belowdecks in the morning only to discover new neighbors had arrived after dark, and I’ll bet they were appreciative our anchor light was on. I know I sleep much better.

At the Ramp When I was trailering my earlier boats, I noticed people loading their boat with equipment — fishing gear, ice chests, water skis — once they had backed onto the ramp. Doing so is rude and inconsiderate. It blocks other drivers who are ready to launch from the ramp. >

Guests > Not every guest will be a seasoned boater. In fact, some might be experiencing their first on-the-water foray. Help those guests feel at ease by explaining to them in advance what is expected of them. Let them know the proper attire and footwear. If you have any special rules on your vessel, make them known. If you’re planning to travel across the border and visit a foreign port, make your guests aware of the proper identification to bring along.

Once your guests are aboard, don’t ask them to preform even the most mundane tasks unless you know they are comfortable and experienced enough to do so. Also, ensure that you offer each guest a secure place to stow belongings. Before casting off, make sure everyone is familiar with safety and emergency procedures, including the location of life jackets.

This story in no way covers all of the boating etiquette mistakes I’ve seen, experienced, been taught or even committed over the years.

Remember that someone is always watching, and the example we set is just as important to ourselves as the observers.

In the end, boating etiquette is pretty simple. It’s a matter of being a good neighbor and using common sense combined with the Golden Rule: “Do unto others…” Keep that in mind and you’ll be welcome in any marina or anchorage.

BUILDERS HAVE TAKEN NOTICE AND HAVE STEPPED UP TO MEET CONSUMER DEMAND BY OFFERING GREATER SPACE, MORE ELECTRONICS AND EVEN COLOR-MATCHING THE TENDER TO THE YACHT. “Everybody wants their cake and eat it too, but they only have so much room for a tender on the back of their boat,” said Michael Carroll, director of sales and marketing for Walker Bay Boats. “That’s the way of the world. Everybody wants something better.”

As manufacturers rushed to add new features for consumers, tender weights grew like America’s waistline, which affected the performance of 1. yachts in the 30- to 50-foot range. Thanks to new technologies, today’s yacht tenders are slimming down and consumers can still have their cake.

Here are nine improvements that boat owners will appreciate when shopping for a new tender.

VHF radios, depthfinders and Bluetoothcapable stereos. Punching their favorite restaurant into the Garmin GPS, boaters could now cruise the Intracoastal with confidence while listening to music.

Builders are also dropping an LED light into the steering console to provide light at night for boarding.

Builders are opting for smooth gelcoat, even in storage lockers, for easier cleaning.

SLIMMING DOW N Builders are trimming the weight on new tenders as the older boats have tested the limits of davits on yachts. A slimmer tender requires less horsepower and a smaller gas tank, and on some older yachts it actually improves planing time.

Eric Reilley, Mercury Marine’s product manager for aftermarket products, said the company switched from hand-laid hulls to vacuum-infused technology in 2010.

The technique provides better control of the amount of resin in the mold to reduce weight.

On its M-Series boat, Mercury Marine was able to shed nearly 200 pounds on an inflatable that used to weigh 660 pounds without an engine, Reilley said. Less weight has helped improve performance.

“They’re probably performing better than some consumers want,” Reilley said with a laugh. “Top-end speed on our 11-and-ahalf-foot boat is right around 39 mph, which is really zipping along in [that size] boat.”

Elliott, who has been in the marine industry for nearly four decades, said he’s seeing a return to basics on tenders. He

models with aluminum hulls. The majority of tenders sold today have fiberglass hulls, and industry leaders don’t see that changing anytime soon. But that hasn’t stopped companies from building aluminum hulls for boaters in regions such as the Pacific Northwest, where the beaches are rocky or have lots of oyster shells.

Jeffrey McCurdy, CEO of AB Inflatables,

Some builders say that while electronics add a few pounds, they greatly improve the boating experience.

said yachts in the U.S. are moving toward a European style, which has fewer spots for tenders and requires a greater reach for the davit.

“They’re getting rid of some of the candy inside the boat … and the reason for that is weight,” Elliott said. “As you put more bells and whistles on a tender, it gets heavier.”

A LU MIN U M H U L L S In the quest to reduce weight and improve durability, builders are offering

welcomes other builders to the party, albeit a few years late. His company has been manufacturing aluminum rigid-hull inflatables for nearly 15 years.

“It’s a growing market and many (competitors) are starting to make their own,” McCurdy said. “The hulls are lightweight but you don’t sacrifice durability.”

Aluminum requires more maintenance than fiberglass because of electrolysis.

Builders are using higher-grade aluminum and are powder-coating hulls to stave

off electrolysis, but saltwater is very unforgiving.

POW E R PL A N TS In an old tender with a two-stroke outboard, the first stop was for a change of clothes. The smell was unmistakable and was probably the least appealing aspect of boating (next to boat payments). Enter the four-stroke outboard: quiet, reliable and no smell of two-stroke oil hanging in the air.

Carroll credits engine manufacturers such as Yamaha and Mercury for reducing engine weight and delivering performance while still meeting EPA standards.

“You’re not burning as much gas with the new four-stroke outboards,” Carroll said, “and you can’t even hear it running half the time.”

AV O N Evinrude’s SEASPORT two-stroke E-Tec line 340 meets EPA guidelines and its emissions are significantly cleaner than older two strokes. Elliott of NW Inflatables said while Evinrudes have better performance out of the hole, most of his customers order tenders with a four-stroke outboard.

“We try to match the boat to the customer, and that usually involves a four-stroke outboard,” said Elliott, whose company sells Apex, AB, Novurania and Achilles brands.

S A F E T Y S TA N D A R D S Regulators are requiring inflatable manufacturers to have the same safety features as traditional outboard boats.

While the new regulations increase prices, including the features is safer and better for consumers in the long run.

“In the past, the only regulation for SEAMAGAZINE.COM JANUARY 2017

+ Feature Tenders.indd 53

53

11/30/16 1:36 PM

rigid-hull inflatables was to have a 12-digit serial number,” said McCurdy. “They are improving things by making manufacturers conform, which is a good thing because it does make the boat safer.”

Builders of the larger tenders are required to use EPA-compliant pressurized fuel tanks and the venting system must recirculate fumes to the gas tank.

The government has also placed horsepower limits on the size of tenders, to keep manufacturers from overpowering the boats.

“Obviously the worst fear for any boater is to have a fire while they’re operating their vessel, so this is definitely something that helps the safety concern of the consumer,” said Mercury Marine’s Reilley, of the fuel tank standards.

O P E N S PA C E Whether it’s on the yacht or a small tender, space is at a premium. To find room on smaller tenders for more passengers, gear and the family dog, companies such as Walker Bay looked to the bow. Builders opened the area without sacrificing stability.

“The old-style pointy bow gives you 20 percent less space in your boat,” Carroll said. “Now there is more room for a bow locker and storage. A wide bow is actually great for getting in and out of the front of the boat.”

Some manufacturers are now offering removable seats, so tenders can be used as a utility boat or to transport passengers.

Carroll said he’s surprised when consumers don’t sit in a tender before purchasing it.

“Some boats will fit people differently, and you need to sit in them,” Carroll said.

“It sounds funny but you wouldn’t buy a car and not sit in it.”

CUSTOM TENDER S Demanding yacht buyers no longer want the same production tender found on yachts throughout the marina. They’re color-matching the tender’s CSM fabric and seat cushions to the yacht, and the custom console looks like it came out of a high-end offshore boat.

Larger tenders, generally 20 feet and longer, are offering optional freshwater

showers and heads. Tenders with those types of amenities are usually found on yachts where the added weight doesn’t impact performance. Some customers are adding underwater LED lights to the hull and color-changing lights inside the tender.

While Elliott sees the tender market going back to basics, that didn’t stop him from building some tenders dressed in black.

“They were awesome looking, but we didn’t sell many of them,” he said. “Plus, they get hot out in the sun.”

CAR E AND MAINTENANCE Anyone who has owned an inflatable

boat knows it can handle a fair amount of abuse, whether it’s bumping into docks or pulling it up on a rocky beach. But leaving the boat uncovered in direct sun will have owners shopping for a new tender earlier than they should.

Buyers can choose from tenders constructed from PVC or Hypalon. Boats manufactured using Hypalon or CMS have a lifespan of up to 30 years but cost 50 percent more than a boat built from PVC. PVC-built tenders generally have a lifespan of up to 10 years.

“Hypalon has a lot less problems than the PVC,” Elliott said. “Does the consumer

need a boat that lasts 30 years? I’m not sure they would keep a boat that long.”

For boaters in high-sun areas — Southern California, Florida — Hypalon is the preferred material because of its UV resistance, Reilley said. Cooler climates such as the Pacific Northwest are more amenable to PVC-built tenders.

Regardless of what material the buyer selects, it will still require regular maintenance. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions and don’t use harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric.

Simple soap and water are often all that is needed — and avoid scrubbing too

hard. For tougher stains, use Simple Green or cleaning products that are safe to use on PVC. To extend the service life of the tender,

make sure to cover it but not before it has completely dried. Otherwise, the white boat will be a shade darker the next time it’s uncovered.

STAY SHARP! STANDING WATCH IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DO, SO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ITS WHYS, HOWS AND WHATS.

By Zuzana Prochazka

I came on deck at 0200 on a cold, clear March night and looked around. We were 100 miles south of Turtle Bay on a 65-foot sailboat doing 9 knots on what was an amazingly calm delivery from Cabo San Lucas to San Diego. It was pitch black, but the stars reflecting on the surprisingly flat water had an eerie vertigo effect that seemed to blur the sky and the sea, obliterating any sign of the horizon.

I turned to the helmsman, who was making his first night passage. I could see his eyes, as big as saucers, in the dim glow of the compass light. “You OK?” I asked.

He paused. Then, with more than a hint of amazement and intimidation in his voice, he said, “It’s like riding a giant worm through Space Mountain.”

A captain I know once summarized watchstanding as such: Stay awake, get to where you’re goin’, don’t hit nothin’. And while that is the crux of the issue, there’s a bit more to it than that.

PREPARATION Arguably, watchstanding starts before you even leave the dock. Good preparation by the captain and crew will ease what happens later; it’s 80 percent of the passage. First is safety planning.

The crew needs to know what to do in case of fire, flood, catastrophic failure, collision, man-overboard and abandon ship 56

scenarios. Making and reviewing checklists is a good start. Review the vessel’s strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies with all on board, to minimize midnight and mid-passage surprises. Teach the crew the boat’s electronics suite and outline how

you expect them to use the equipment.

Assess the crew’s strengths and weaknesses, and think about the duty roster and if you will need to pair experienced crew with newbies.

Put fresh batteries into all flashlights

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JANUARY 2017

11/29/16 1:46 PM

and handheld devices. Top the tanks with water and fuel. Don’t get overly optimistic regarding range, and always calculate in a fuel reserve. I once suffered through a skipper who wouldn’t buy enough diesel in the Marquesas, which led to serious problems before we reached Tahiti.

Finally, get lots of good food. If you’re expecting a long or rough passage, pre-cook and freeze meals, so watchstanders can be fed quickly and get to their bunks for rest. Stock plenty of instant

soup and oatmeal, which can be made with hot water and that each watch is responsible for refilling. Get caffeine in whatever way the crew requires — coffee, tea, soda — and bring on a ton of snacks, the kind of salty, sweet, engaging food that keeps people awake and busy on watch.

Ask all crew for specific health issues and allergies. Anaphylactic shock from an accidental nut ingestion won’t be fun at 0300. I don’t allow alcohol for any working crew while the vessel is moving.

DEVELOP A SCHEDULE Watches are either fun (small percentage of the time), frightening (super small percentage of the time) or boring (most of the time). Structuring a workable schedule or duty roster to get through watches depends on many factors, including the type and complexity of the boat, the number and experience of the crew, the length of the passage, the weather and sea state, and whether you have a working autopilot. If you’re lucky, you’ll have three SEAMAGAZINE.COM JANUARY 2017

+ Sea feature Watch.indd 57

57

11/29/16 1:46 PM

or four crew on extended passages, but couples often take on lengthy voyages themselves. So I repeat, a workable and equitable roster is necessary, because watchstanding can either be a great shared experience or a precursor to divorce.

There are about as many opinions on watch schedules as there are boaters. The old standby is four hours on and four hours off, dogged or rotated with one shorter watch, so the schedule moves people to different watches automatically. Conventional wisdom dictates that humans are at peak performance and concentration for about four hours before they need a break. After that, the likelihood of making mistakes increases sharply.

For passages of 24 hours or more, some captains will change that to four hours on during the day and three on at night, since it’s harder to stay awake and conditions can be more disorienting at night. With a crew of two, that leaves around three hours of sleep per cycle per person, because you have to build in time to eat, clean up, use the head, dress, undress and potentially do some chores — cooking, cleaning, and attending to the needs of the boat. It’s never really four hours of good sleep.

Depending on the circumstances, I prefer to change up the schedule to provide at least six hours of continuous off-watch time, to help the body manage for the long haul. You can do six hours on during the day with two-, three- or four-hour rotations during the night.

Most people will be able to sustain this schedule longer and remain fresher.

For Couples An extreme but viable schedule for two includes non-rotating watches of eight hours, as provided by a sailing couple. She takes the 0800 to 1600, he takes 2000 to 0400. The remainder of the time, they are both awake, conducting loose watches and doing chores, mostly during daylight hours. She enjoys the sunrise while his body adjusts well to the dark, and the overlapping hours give them time to socialize and eat together. With the non-rotating watches, on long trips, one’s body has time to adjust and develop a new normal without the effect of rotating shift work, and the schedule is easier to remember because it never changes. Such an arrangement relies on a working autopilot and benign conditions, but the benefit is arriving at the destination in good shape and without the need to sleep most of the first day in port.

Dos and Don’ts Do: » Have standing orders as to when to wake up the captain. » Have a standard briefing when changing watches, including comments on weather, condition of boat/engine, sea state, traffic, course changes if any, etc. » Have the new (and sleepy) watch repeat back to you what you just told them. » Prepare hot drinks (coffee, tea, soup) and snacks for the oncoming watch. » A 360-degree scan of the horizon every 10-15 minutes. » Zoom in and out on the radar screen every 15 minutes to look near and far, especially at night or in fog. » Make sure all crew know how to use the basics of onboard communication and navigation electronics, including AIS collision avoidance. » Set alarms (radar and engine), but be sure to warn the oncoming watch about them. » Keep an hourly log that includes position, course, weather, engine condition, etc. » Plot an hourly course on a paper chart. » Learn at least basic nav lights and their meaning and keep binoculars handy.

Don’t: » Don’t be afraid to wake the captain or more experienced crew if something goes wrong or you get confused, especially in the dark or fog. » Don’t be “that guy” by expecting the other guy to do something you could get done while on or off watch (like chores). » Don’t pass on food (unless you’re seasick), and don’t get dehydrated. » Don’t pee over the side when on deck alone (obviously more for the guys than the ladies). » Don’t stay up when you should be sleeping, because your next watch is still your responsibility. » Don’t read if you normally consider reading a sleep aid. » Don’t consume alcohol, even a little, because it’s fatiguing. » Don’t hide being sick or having a grievance, because it will come out at the worst possible time. » Don’t make your watch-change briefing a novel. » Don’t fake understanding the basics of the vessel command center. » Don’t over caffeinate, because you’ll eventually have to go down to your bunk and rest. » Don’t assume anything. Verify.

» Periodic engine and bilge checks (a visual every one to two hours or more, depending on the situation). » Small physical and breathing exercises to stay awake at night. » Assign and/or rotate daily chores on long passages. » Deck checks during daylight hours to see if anything has come loose or broken. » Sleep when off watch, or at least try by lying still and resting. » Stay dry and warm and have a change of clothes.

Adjustable Schedules are adjusted when there is more than one person on watch at a time, when there is ample crew, when some crew are inexperienced and need to 58 SEAMAGAZINE.COM JANUARY 2017

be paired with other crew, or when the conditions are such that one needs to hand steer or monitor other possible critical systems aboard. Hand steering a large vessel in heavy seas can be taxing; wrestling the wheel makes one’s shoulders burn and arms ache.

Sometimes, it’s too hard to steer for more than an hour at a time.

Rotated or extremely short watches can wreak havoc on one’s circadian rhythm (natural biological sleep cycles), which typically leaves one of the crew a little off kilter every few days. Coming from Hawaii to California on another 65-foot sailboat, we had a crew of five on rotating three-hour watches during what turned out to be an 18-day delivery.

You could always tell who had the off day, because that person either moved around in a haze but couldn’t nap, or slept through every meal.

If a dogged schedule is used, rotate watches forward, not back. It’s easier to stay up longer than it is to get up earlier. In these systems, nobody gets stuck with the same middle-of-the-night watch, but it may be more difficult for people to remember when they need to be topsides.

We Have You Covered

SOMETIMES, IT’S TOO HARD TO STEER FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR AT A TIME.

Alone I don’t single-hand, because it’s dangerous and makes insurance companies unhappy. But sometimes if your crew is seasick or otherwise incapacitated, you’re all you’ve got. In that case, it’s best to slow the boat’s speed (especially at night), stay warm, dry, and fed, and get really friendly with an egg timer so you can catnap in 15-minute increments. This is not advisable on near-coastal passages where there is more traffic. When traveling at higher speeds (say 15 knots or faster), more frequent scans are necessary.

In rough conditions, fog or at night, I like to slow down by throttling back or shortening sail.

SKILLS AND COURTESIES It’s good to rotate chores, so nobody feels stuck with the dirty jobs.

That said, pink and blue jobs are alive and well, and arguing about them on a passage may not have optimal results. If you can cook, you may get the bulk of the meal preparation, and if you are mechanically inclined, care of the engine and systems will fall to you.

Everyone knows how to clean, go through the veg locker to find rotting tomatoes and attend to kids if they’re aboard. Sharing and caring is the only way to get through long watches. Everyone should know the basics of the onboard navigation and electronics equipment and be able to use the chartplotter, radar, AIS and VHF radio. Watchstanders should conduct a 360-degree scan of the horizon every 10 to 15 minutes, because large ships move quickly and though they may not have been visible the last time you checked, they can be on you in a very short time. Keep a timer handy — a phone, audible stopwatch or egg timer.

Usually, powerboats have the benefit of a warm and dry helm station from which to operate, but the

drawback is that the electronics reflect off the windshield, which limits visibility at night. That’s when the person on watch sticks her head out and uses binoculars to scan the horizon 180 degrees on one side and then the other. She should also scroll up and down in range on the radar to see what’s near and far and check the AIS collision system. Watchstanding becomes more active on near-coastal passages or in shipping lanes. Commercial fishing boats along the coast are often working and do not have a proper lookout.

Everyone should be taught how to set the electronic proximity and engine alarms, and standing orders should be clear and specific as to what to do and when to wake the captain. If in doubt, get another hand or pair of eyes on the situation. I like to do hourly engine and bilge checks. That may or may not be feasible, depending on engine room access. Do not assume that an engine room camera will do the job for you.

LOGS AND FACE TIME All crew should be able to do an hourly log entry, which includes vital information

— course changes, speed, traffic, hazards, weather, any developments with the boat (e.g., changes in engine temperature, fuel consumption) — that can be relayed to the oncoming watch in a concise briefing.

Don’t leave out vital information, but don’t overwhelm the guy who’s coming up from a dead sleep with a lot of superfluous detail.

Wake the next watch 15 minutes before scheduled show time, so he has time to dress, pee, have a cup of something and get his bearings. I make the new person repeat back to me what I just said, to ensure real communication actually occurred.

Crew and captain should check in with each other daily. A real discussion and eye contact are necessary to ensure the crew aren’t hiding that they are feeling ill or exhausted.

While doing the log entry (in ink because it’s a legal document) I also check the GPS and plot the boat’s position on a paper chart (in pencil because I only have one chart).

Yes, that’s old school, but offshore it’s about using a belt and suspenders. I also have a light list handy, because identifying vessels and their orientation at night can be tricky.

RESPONSIBILITY Staying awake can be a challenge, but remember that the watch is responsible for the safety of the vessel and the lives of all aboard. Carelessness can be catastrophic, or it can just be annoying, because if the on-watch crew can’t be trusted, the off-watch crew won’t be rested. I can’t read on a night watch, because I’ve trained myself that reading equals a sleep aid. I don’t like to wear headphones for music, because I want to hear the sounds of the boat.

I usually make lists of to-do items or sightseeing destinations once we arrive.

I also plan the next day’s menu and think of games or fun tasks for when the crew is together and socializing the next day, because we’re not barbarians and need to keep things fun. I also exercise — somewhat.

On longer passages in reasonably calm weather, I conduct deck checks during daylight hours, to see what may be coming loose or breaking. It’s always disconcerting to find a bolt on deck and not be certain where it came from.

The Seattle Boat Show is the biggest boat show on the West Coast with about 1,000 recreational watercraft and more than 400 exhibitors.

THE BOAT SHOW’S HERE

THE SEATTLE BOAT SHOW RETURNS FOR ITS ANNUAL RESIDENCE AT CENTURYLINK AND LAKE UNION. THE BIGGEST BOAT SHOW ON the West Coast, the Seattle Boat Show, is set to open Friday, Jan. 27 and run until Saturday, Feb. 4. That’s one day shorter than usual, but the show still features two locations, about 1,000 recreational watercraft, more than 400 exhibitors, a couple of hundred seminars and activities for kids. The indoor venue at CenturyLink Field Event Center showcases more than three acres of the latest innovations in marine accessories, technology and boating gear. The show’s on-the-water location at South Lake Union will feature at least 100 world-class yachts on display. A free shuttle conveniently runs between the two locations, so attendees can experience the bigger yachts on the lake.

Over the course of the nine-day show, marine industry experts will present about 200 free seminars. Attendees can expect to find classes that cover beginner and advanced topics and more esoteric subjects.

The final schedule wasn’t available at press time, but past years’ seminars have included updates on AIS, boater-friendly apps, satellite phones and much more.

Cruising seminars are always popular, too.

Boat owners thinking about cruising to new areas can likely find a seminar that discusses the places they’re thinking of going. Locales as far flung as Europe and Tahiti have been covered in past years.

Learn about the nuts and bolts of cruising to Alaska, Mexico, in between and beyond. Hands-on seminar topics have included diesel engine care, repairs at sea, how to sail singlehanded and more.

Anglers are a big part of the boating scene in the Pacific Northwest, so fishing seminars are another highlight of the boat show, and always well attended.

A few dozen free fishing seminars will be offered. Experts will share their tips on catching trout, perch, bass and salmon. Everything an angler would want to know about capturing Dungeness crab or albacore tuna or shrimping will be covered during the fishing seminars.

Advanced training classes are also available for a fee through Boat Show University. These extended in-depth, three-hour nautical training seminars provide a range of studies, from a course on weather, and another on cruising to Alaska, to working with new onboard technologies. Presented by some of the world’s top marine experts, the boat show seminars touch on almost every aspect of all things boating.

In addition, visitors will want to be sure to check out two of the boat show’s most popular main events. The Uncorked event takes place on opening night, and showgoers are invited to taste a variety of domestic and international wines at stations set up throughout the indoor venue at CenturyLink Field.

At the Sails & Ales event, showgoers can sample and taste the very best in Northwest craft beers from many artisan breweries. Information about both events, including the date of Sails & Ales, and tickets to both can be purchased online.

ART, HISTORY AND FUN

CRUISE IN TO TACOMA AND GET A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

FOR YEARS TACOMA’S FOSS WATERWAY was an industrial port that didn’t offer much for the recreational boater. In the 1990s, that all changed, as Tacoma began taking steps to revitalize its image by updating the downtown area and cleaning up the waterway.

Today, Tacoma’s Museum District is a welcoming neighborhood of exceptional museums in the heart of downtown and within easy walking distance of each other and Dock Street Marina at the southern end of the Foss Waterway. The district is composed of six premier museums, three along Pacific Avenue, two on the waterfront esplanade and one a free, short light rail ride away.

GUEST MOORAGE There are a number of choices for moorage on the waterway. Our choice when visiting Tacoma is Dock Street Marina, a first-rate, state-of-the-art oasis in the midst of an urban, industrial setting, at the southern end of the historic Foss Waterway. It’s

a convenient location from which to access the museums and restaurants.

The newspaper hitting the cockpit on Sunday morning is not the only sign this isn’t your regular marina. Dock Street Marina has become known for its conciergelevel service. Dockhands greet boaters and assist with lines, and everyone receives a complimentary gift bag full of information about the area and discount coupons.

The marina has about 20 guest moorage slips available and a 320-foot dock suitable for groups of boaters. The facilities are clean and first rate with wide fairways and slips; large, stable concrete docks; spotless restrooms with free showers; 30-, 50- and 100-amp power; and cable available to all boats.

The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Wash. Includes the Chihuly Bridge of Glass, a 500-foot-long pedestrian overpass that links the Museum to downtown Tacoma.

FOSS WATERWAY SEAPORT Start your visit by meandering north on an esplanade that leads to a mixture of shops, galleries, condos and the Foss Waterway Seaport. On the way, take in the sculptures and view a delightful hodgepodge of boats backed by a suspension bridge and, on a clear day, Mt. Rainier.

The Foss Waterway Seaport is a maritime museum that celebrates Tacoma’s rich maritime heritage. It features maritime exhibits suitable to a wide range of ages, land- and boat-based education programs, a children’s exhibit full of hands-on activities, an events rental space, and a heritage boat shop.

Dock Street marina is located at the southern end of the waterway.

The space is housed in the historic Balfour Bock Building, a century-old wooden warehouse that was built for cargo arriving by rail and departing by sail (“where rails met sails”) during the early years of Tacoma. The building was originally a mile-long complex of warehouses, and two adjoining warehouses remain standing today. The building fell into disrepair after the 1970s, but Foss Waterway Seaport and Foss Waterway PNW-10

Development Authority partnered in a massive renovation effort, with a mission to celebrate Tacoma’s maritime heritage.

MUSEUM OF GLASS Next, visit the Museum of Glass, a truly unique place with unique architecture and a one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to glass art, located across the esplanade from the marina. The museum’s exhibitions and enthralling glass-making demonstrations

have inspired and engaged nearly 2 million visitors from all 50 states and more than 75 countries.

Adjacent to the Museum of Glass is its 90-foot silver dome, which represents some of the history of the area by replicating the forest industry’s wood-burner domes that once dotted the landscape of the region.

Inside it houses a 140-seat Hot Shop Amphitheater glassblowing studio where visitors can watch artists at work blowing glass.

Enjoy the beautiful glass artwork along the Chihuly Bridge of Glass, a 500-foot pedestrian bridge linking the waterfront with the city’s revitalized downtown. As you stroll the bridge, look left, right and up. In one display, you’ll see hundreds of breathtaking sculptures of Chihuly glass in large windows along the walls; in another, glass forms are crowded into ceiling panels. On the open stretches of the bridge, columns fitted with enormous, irregular, iceberg-like chunks punctuate the view out and over the city.

WASHINGTON STATE HISTORY MUSEUM The Bridge of Glass joins two museums and also links the waterfront with a piece of the state’s rich past: the Washington State History Museum. One of the last projects designed by noted architect Charles Moor, the history museum echoes the arching shapes of nearby Union Station, which is now home to the U.S. Federal Courthouse.

The Washington State History Museum is where fascination and fun come together.

People of all ages can explore and be entertained as characters from Washington’s past speak about their life. Through interactive exhibits, theatrical storytelling, high-tech displays and artifacts, learn about the state’s unique people and places, as well as their impact on the country and the world. Imagine walking through Washington history and encountering the sights and sounds of earlier residents.

Intriguing, interactive exhibits depict the landscape, lifestyles and cultures of all those who call Washington home. The facility’s 106,000 square feet are filled with permanent and special rotating exhibits, from First Peoples to exploration, trade and settlement, making for an unforgettable history experience.

TACOMA ART MUSEUM North on Pacific Avenue a couple blocks is the Tacoma Art Museum, founded by a group of volunteers in 1935 and now a national model for regional, mid-sized museums. The museum is dedicated to connecting people through art. Its permanent collection features more than 4,100 works, primarily photography and paintings by Northwest artists and a premier collection of Dale Chihuly’s glass work.

Tacoma Art Museum serves the diverse communities of the Northwest through its collection, exhibitions and learning programs.

CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF TACOMA

LEMAY CAR MUSEUM LeMay – America’s Car Museum is just a free light rail ride away (10 minutes), and you don’t have to be a car person to enjoy this magnificent venue. The free Tacoma Link Rail service runs every 12 minutes along Pacific Avenue, so just hop on.

Lemay – America’s Car Museum spotlights America’s fascination and love affair with the automobile. The museum, on a

nine-acre campus, features rotating galleries, a three-and-a-half-acre show field, theater, café, banquet halls, meeting facilities, racing simulators and slot car racing.

Exhibits feature 350 automobiles, from Ferraris and Corvettes to Model Ts and the LaSalle 303 Roadster. The museum also hosts annual events, concerts, and even drive-in movies.

WORKED UP AN APPETITE? The museums are located near a number of restaurants, from fast food to sit-down

gourmet meals. After a day of exhibit viewing, our favorite stop is Harmon Pub & Brewery for dinner and a cold ale. The pub occupies the street level of the 19th-century building, which once housed the Harmon Furniture Factory.

Tacoma has come a long way from its industrial days and now makes a wonderful year-round boating destination and cultural experience.

QUICK ESCAPE

A COMMUNITY EFFORT

PORT OF BROWNSVILLE HAS MANY AMENITIES BUT MAINTAINS A PEACEFUL, RUSTIC SETTING. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

There are 20 40-foot slips and 550 linear feet of guest moorage at the Port of Brownsville.

THE PORT OF BROWNSVILLE’S CHARM, hospitality and community pride draw Arlene and me back repeatedly. Located on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula in Burk Bay, Brownsville is accessible to most boaters in Puget Sound via one of two of the Sound’s two most scenic passages, Agate Pass or Rich Passage. Don’t let Brownville’s rustic Norman Rockwell-like appearance fool you. It is one of Puget Sound’s smallest marinas, yet it offers all the amenities of marinas many times its size, with the charm and rustic setting of a small rural community.

When you are arriving from the south, the marina comes into view as you clear University Point. The snow-capped Olympic Mountains stand proud in the background, as if they were guarding the marina and surrounding community.

Founded in 1920, Port of Brownsville 1 is one of the most modern and environmentally friendly ports on Puget Sound.

The port has earned both the EnviroStar and Clean Marina rating.

ample room for yacht club rendezvous and individual cruisers.

The entire guest moorage is serviced with 30-amp power, water, garbage drops and picnic tables on the 14-foot-wide cement breakwater, which provides protection from the wakes of passing boats in Port Orchard Passage.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL Enter the marina by rounding the southern end of the floating breakwater.

First-come, first-served guest moorage is exposed to starboard. On our last visit, we selected one of the 20 available 40-foot guest slips. There is 550 linear feet of dock available to visiting boaters, and reservations by boat clubs can be made for guest moorage on the breakwater, so there is PNW-14 SEAMAGAZINE.COM JANUARY 2017

On shore is a two-story building that houses the port office, Brownsville Yacht Club, a deli and restrooms with showers.

A laundromat is in a small adjacent building, which also houses a small book exchange. The marina has a fuel dock that offers gas and diesel, and the port has two pumpouts. There is an over-the-water open-sided pavilion with picnic tables, gas heaters and a large gas barbecue. The facility has become a popular place with the boating community and for yacht club functions.

A short walk above the marina is Outlook Park 2 , which offers a shelter, picnic tables, a large fire pit, a horseshoe pitch and a view of the marina.

SEATTLE

Brownsville is a peaceful and quiet town with plenty of amenities.

TASTE OF BROWNSVILLE The hub of the marina and surrounding community is the Brownsville Delicatessen 3 , open seven days a week and justly famous for its sandwiches and generous portions. With indoor seating and an adjacent covered outdoor eating area, the deli is a gathering place for locals and boaters. Most Friday nights the deli features live music, and it’s a favorite gathering place for locals on Taco Tuesdays. We have found it a great place to meet local residents.

MUST VISIT No visit to Brownsville is complete without a visit to Sweeney’s Country Style Meats 4 , so we made the five-minute walk from the marina. The business specializes in smoked meats and cheeses of all kinds.

Our favorite are the Louisiana smoked hot links, though we have found the German sausage, pepperoni, beef jerky and smoked ribs are also very delicious.

The over-the-water pavilion is a big hit with visiting yacht clubs.

Don’t forget the camera when visiting this picturesque port. Photographers love it because it’s a working marina with a healthy mix of fishing boats, classic yachts and recreational boats. If you enjoy photographing wildlife, then at high tide, row the dinghy or paddle your kayak under the Illahee Bridge and up Burke Bay 5 into another world — a quiet, half-mile-long bayou that is home to herons, bald eagles, river otters and ducks of all kinds.

In the fall, I suggest making the threequarters-of-a-mile walk up the road to visit Steele Creek 6 and see returning salmon.

Port of Brownsville completed a culvert replacement project a few years ago, creating a more natural channel for migrating salmon. During the previous autumns, community volunteers would catch and carry the salmon above a pair of culverts that blocked their migration. Now, the rehabilitated stream is a great place to watch migrating and spawning salmon begin and complete the cycle of life.

TIME YOUR VISIT Once a year, the entire area comes together for Brownsville Appreciation Day. It’s always scheduled for the fourth Sunday in September to celebrate the community.

Everyone is welcome to enjoy a day of fun, including live music, boat rides and tours, face painting and hotdogs.

NAUTI-CAL BY NATURE HERE’S WHERE TO FIND THE BEST NAUTICAL FLAIR IN CALIFORNIA.

NAUTICAL DÉCOR FOR YOUR HOME or boat is timeless and practical. There is a reason so many homes are adorned with items that evoke the presence of the sea.

According to EverythingNautical.com, the popularity of nautical décor has grown because nautical pieces express craftsmanship and quality, are sensory and natural, appeal to all ages, and emit an air of adventure.

As long as you don’t go overboard, anyone can appreciate and enjoy nautical décor for home or boat. The basic nautical color palette includes white, navy blue, khaki, and crimson red. The majority of your décor should be neutral save for a few statement accent colors. The general idea is to bring elements of nature and the sea into your home, so that it’s calming like the sea and perhaps might remind you of

your favorite boating vacation. Luckily for boaters on the West Coast, there are plenty of options for shopping for all things nautical — many within walking distance of a marina. Here are a few of the standouts in California.

SAN DIEGO Maidhof Bros. Shipware Merchants, just north of the San Diego International

Seal Beach has plenty of options for when it comes to buying nautical décor from the kitschy to the chic.

Airport in San Diego, has an online and brick-and-mortar presence, with a-vast array of vintage items, collectibles and salvage items. It has a large catalog of marine instruments, furniture, maps and even handmade pirate chests. If you’re looking for that special authentic piece or looking to build a custom nautical item, the guys at Maidhof can help.

If you’re looking for something on the softer, more shabby-chic side of nautical, look to The Faded Awning in La Jolla, due east of Nicholson Point. This little boutique has a laid-back beachy theme to it, where you can find cute gifts for loved ones or to bring tranquility to your boat. The store SEAMAGAZINE.COM JANUARY 2017

LYFORD’S TOWER, TIBURON, CALIF.

WHILE CRUISING THE WATERS AROUND Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay, you might spot a castle-like structure perched on the Tiburon Peninsula. This curious structure was once part of a failed utopia called Hygeia (named after the goddess of health) that was to be a health resort free from fogs and elements that “retard life.” It was commissioned in 1899 by Dr. Benjamin F. Lyford, who practiced medicine in San Francisco and developed a revolutionary embalming method that he, ironically, took with him to the grave. The resort was designed with the ideals of ultimate health and embracing the outdoors.

a new broker and a new office recently.

Leanne McNally accepted a position with SCY after a nine-year run with Selene California as the brand manager. McNally managed a fleet of new Beneteau yachts in the 1990s during her time with Harbor Sailboats, so the move to SCY, which is a Beneteau dealer, was a logical one.

STEER CLEAR OF SCAMS

With the turning of the calendar to a new year, many people are making resolutions for a better 2017. For many readers, one resolution might be to buy a new boat — either brand new or new to them. Unfortunately, many not-so-scrupulous people are resolving to take other people’s money in a fake boat-buying transaction. We gathered some advice to help boat buyers avoid getting scammed, because we want boaters to be on their boat, not underwater because of a deal gone bad.

The folks at BoatUS keep an eye on the market and collect information about scams from their various resources. Here are some tips from their “Boat Buyer’s Toolbox” at boatus.com.

• Counterfeit Cashier’s Check Or Money Order. A bogus buyer will contact you with an email, offering to send a cashier’s check or bank draft for the full asking price if you provide your contact information.

At some point, the buyer will tell you that he must send you the check for significantly more than the purchase price and give you one of a number of bogus reasons why this is necessary. The buyer will ask you to deposit the funds and send some portion of the money to someone else, often a phony shipping company. Unfortunately, the check is counterfeit, and you’ll be out the money you sent.



• PayPal Variation. The phony buyer will ask for your PayPal ID in order to send you a payment, again for substantially more than the purchase price.

Shortly after that, you will receive a fake confirmation from PayPal with your user ID for more than the agreed purchase price, and the buyer will contact you asking you to send the extra money to a shipper.

Again, you’ll lose whatever you’ve sent.

• Escrow Scam. When you try to buy a boat, the seller will suggest using an escrow service and recommend something that sounds legitimate like Escrowprotect.com or GoogleMoney.com. But the realistic-looking website is the center of the scam: Once you transfer your money, you won’t hear anything more about the boat, or the seller, ever again.

The folks at PowerBoatListings.com offer this advice for buyers: • Discuss details of the boat by phone in addition to email or online, so you speak with the person selling the boat.

• Get a landline number for the seller and verify that the phone number given matches the physical location of the boat listed.

• Ask for the boat’s exact location and HIN (Hull Identification Number) and do a quick web search on the boat’s name, part of the boat’s description, and/or HIN. • Other tips include: be extremely cautious when buying a boat that’s a significant distance away, don’t buy a boat unseen, use your best judgment, walk away from a “deal” that seems too good to be true, don’t give out personal information and use a legitimate escrow service.

Excellence - The Shipyard DNA

Excellence - A Unique Design

Custom Line is a unique range of yachts with all the features typical of fiberglass flying bridge planning yachts over 30 metres in length, offering plenty of solutions for personalization.

Custom Line was established in 1996 to meet the demand for a range of tailor-made yachts larger in size than the Ferretti Yachts range that produced flying-bridge models between 12 and 25 metres.

The exterior lines that make Custom Line so unique are the result of the longstanding partnership between Studio Zuccon International Project and the Ferretti Group. Boat-owners can have their vessel tailor-made to their taste and style, from the selection of precious timbers to fittings and soft décor, making each vessel truly unique.

The idea was to make inroads into a more ambitious market and more importantly enable existing customers to remain loyal to the brand. This new range was presented with the double-F Ferretti logo coupled with the name Custom Line.

The range soon included both planning and semi-displacement models capable of delivering the ultimate cruising experience for even the most demanding of owners. As of today the planning line is composed by the 97', 108', and the 124', provide plenty of living and cabin space coupled with solutions designed to optimize onboard living while ensuring the owner the highest level of privacy. The semi-displacement line presents a brand new model, Navetta 28 extremely versatile and offering important innovation on board and Navetta 33 Crescendo, the flagship with wider spaces.
