I may need to make a move. Better keep an eye on his movements. Good thing I have Fantom™ radar with MotionScope™ technology to do just that.

TAKE THE BEACH W
HAT IF I told you it’s possible to buy a boat that
actually grows? You don’t have to feed it. It doesn’t require a larger slip. It won’t consume more fuel due to its growth. You’d probably think I was pulling an April Fool’s joke on Sea’s readership. That is not the case. There is a developing trend toward boats that expand — or at least their aft decks do — and boat owners and their guests are the ones to benefit. A few years ago, Wider introduced a boat whose midsection slides outward to port and starboard to create a lot more square footage for passengers to enjoy while the boat is at anchor. Suddenly, with the push of a button, the boat becomes an island. At the 2016 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, we toured the Evo 43 and the Astondoa TopDeck 65, both of which have an expandable aft deck. The sides fold down (Astondoa) or slide outward on hydraulics (Evo) and the transom folds down or lifts up and out to create a teak-covered
beach. (Check out the Astondoa on page 10 of this issue.) Now Sea Ray has joined the expandable boat club. It introduced the SLX 400 at the Miami International Boat Show in February. While only one of the hull sides folds down on the SLX 400, it still creates more space on a 40-footer, which is always a bonus. The port side doesn’t fold down, because it conceals a large storage space — big enough to hold standup paddleboards. But increased storage is another trend for another time. On a smaller scale, Scarab Boats has a near-20-footer whose transom folds flat to open things up, so the trend is moving up and down the size range. Anglers, divers, feet danglers, entertainers and sun soakers are sure to seize upon a feature that adds usable outdoor space to a boat, and if the concept proves popular, it’s a good bet other builders will introduce their own versions of the portable beach. On a semi-related note, don’t forget that April is the month for the Newport Boat Show, which will take over Newport Beach’s Lido Village Marina from April 27-30. More than 200 boats of all sizes and makes will be on display, so take advantage of the opportunity to compare and contrast any number of boats you might find fascinating.

THE BEAUTY OF A CARVER YACHT IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP. A lot of boats at the dock are all glitz and glamour. But how well do they perform when the going gets rough? All that pizazz is small comfort when you’re bouncing off the wave tops or wallowing in the troughs. At Carver, we’ve been building boats for more than 60 years that can handle the roughest water on the planet—the Great Lakes. Unlike salt water, fresh water is hard. Rock hard. And those waves can be steep and breaking. That means you take it on the chin, one wave after another in rapid succession. So we support our hulls with an extraordinary stringer system that reinforces the bow as much as the hull bottom. It’s not glamorous, but you’ll be glad of it the first time it’s blowing hard out at sea. No wonder Carver Yachts is taking the marine industry by storm. Sea trial one at your Carver Yachts dealer soon.
Stringers extend up the bow to prevent “oil canning” and reduce vibration in the hull when running into head seas.
The entire interior of the hull is coated with a white epoxy paint for easier maintenance and service.
Molded stringers are created using multiple layers of fiberglassengineered fabric for lighter weight, superior strength and resistance to water damage. Extra reinforcement in key areas provides rigid structural support for engines and generators.

Astondoa pulled out all the stops — and sides and back — on the TopDeck 65.
Much of the yacht expands into what from above looks like a private island. The boat unfolds at the stern and sides to increase the square footage of available at-anchor fun space. The transom folds down to create a swim platform, and the sides of the cockpit fold outward, to add space to the already good-sized dance floor. In addition, about two-thirds of the sides of the top deck fold out to create deck space for a cocktail party, which is enhanced by a hot tub whose aft wall is clear. The open-air top deck is socially adept. Aft is the aforementioned hot tub. Just forward of that is a bar with three stools on one side and a barstool-height bench settee opposite. Forward of that is a conversation/dining area, with bench settees on either side of a large table. Lower the table, add a couple of large filler cushions and open the sunroof, and the conversation pit becomes a rather expansive sun lounge. Forward of that is a wet bar, an outdoor galley — the grill stows away in its own drawer — and the helm. Forward of that is a bow relaxation area that includes a large sun lounge and a C-shaped settee around a small table, under an available umbrella. The interior has a sleek and modern look. In the bow, the salon is equipped with everything one needs to entertain, including a wet bar, a large flat-screen TV and a video game console. A small galley shares the space. Two staterooms are side by side amidships. The owner’s has a double bed, while the guest room includes two singles, though owners can alter that layout. Twin Volvo Penta D-11 IPS950 engines, each cranking out 725 hp, power the 65-foot TopDeck 65. Its top speed is 25 knots, and at its cruising speed of 20 knots, it achieves a range of about 330 miles.

Ballpark Boat THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS ORGANIZATION acquired an unusual asset during
the off-season — a charter yacht called California Spirit. According to the San Francisco Business Journal, the luxury yacht was purchased through the Giants Enterprises arm, which was founded in 2000 to monetize AT&T ballpark when it’s not hosting baseball games. California Spirit’s homeport is a berth at San Francisco Pier 40, right next door to the ballpark. It’s currently being refurbished and will soon be able to entertain up to 130 passengers for events and parties.
Masts and Sails
TWO OF THE WEST COAST’S more recognizable tall ships made a two-week port call in Dana Point, Calif., in January. The imposing and graceful figures of Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain gave Dana Point residents something new to look at outside the Ocean Institute, and they proved worthy adversaries of Spirit of Dana Point, the institute’s own tall ship, in a couple of mock cannon battles.

What a Concept
Luxury carmakers have gotten into the boatbuilding game, with some impressive results. After a two-year process, we can add Toyota, through its Lexus brand, to the list. The car manufacturer teamed with Marquis Yachts (marquisyachts. com) to build a prototype luxury yacht. The result is a one-of-a-kind, bespoke, 42-foot open sport yacht that applies the Lexus design language to a maritime concept. Before you get any ideas about owning one, here’s the bad news. The yacht is a one-off proofof-concept model. We’ll let the photos tell the story.

ATE SPRING IS when many boaters return to the U.S. from Mexico, before the onset of hurricane
season. The home stretch is a 720-mile motor dead to windward, from Cabo San Lucas to the customs dock in San Diego. Many captains and crews would like to take on the bash in daylight runs, anchoring and getting a good night’s sleep before the next day’s bash. Let’s say the average powerboat cruises at 10 knots and that Baja is known for its paucity of good anchorages. Knowing that, is anchoring every night even possible? The short answer is yes — with one exception, which is the first leg. A big contributing factor is that in the spring there are almost 14 hours of useable daylight.
LEG

Abreojos 3
Cabo San Lucas to Santa Maria, 180 miles, 18 hours
LEAVE AT FIRST LIGHT, which happens to be the calmest time to round the cape. Round it within a mile, because wind and seas are worse farther out. Then turn north and parallel the coast 2 to 5 miles offshore, which is longer than a straight shot to Santa Maria, but wind and seas are calmer closer in, and the current may even be favorable. It’s worth the added miles. Abeam of Boca Flor de Malva, head to a point at least 2 miles off Cape Tosca, standing well clear of the shoals in the false southern entrance to Bahia Magdalena. Then run parallel to the two islands that form the outside of Bahia Magdalena and bypass the entrance to Mag Bay. Doing so brings you into Bahia Santa Maria at midnight, the only night run on the outside of Baja. Normally, I recommend never entering a harbor at night that one has never been in before, but Santa Maria from the south is a very rare exception. It is wide open from that direction and has a huge expanse of anchorage with a good sand bottom in the enormous lee of the mountain that creates Cape San Lazaro. Come into 30 feet of water at least 1 mile east of Mt. San Lazaro and well clear of the lagoon entrance. Turn in. Six hours of sleep is a lot better than nothing. If that’s not enough, sleep in and spend the entire following day and night.
LEG

Santa Maria to San Juanico, 96 miles, 9.6 hours
LEAVE AT FIRST LIGHT. Even with 14 hours of daylight to work with, I still leave early to offset any unforeseen delays. Once the boat is around Cape San Lazaro, it’s a straight shot to San Juanico, which is a good anchorage, though not as large as Santa Maria. Ashore is a small village.

San Juanico to Abreojos, 65 miles, 6.5 hours
SLEEPING IN is permissible. After a leisurely breakfast, raise anchor and ease around Punta Pequena, but stand well off its shoals. Once clear of Punta Santo Domingo, it’s a straight shot to Abreojos. I prefer to anchor in the calm bight northeast of Abreojos village known as Campo en Medio. From this anchorage it’s possible to mount a panga expedition with a guide into the nearby whale watching lagoon of San Ignacio, but by late spring the grey whales have already migrated north. Abreojos has a very active fishing coop that monitors VHF Channel 16. In case of an emergency, the coop members have a rescue vessel and can be quite helpful.
LEG

Abreojos to Turtle Bay, 104 miles, 10.4 hours
DEPART AT FIRST LIGHT. Pass carefully offshore of the reefs Bajo Knepper, Bajo Wright, Roca Ballena and La Rinchadora. They give Abreojos its name, which means Eyes Open! Once you clear the reefs, parallel the coast to the northwest. This run can be cut approximately in two by stopping overnight in Asuncion, an excellent anchorage, at about 50 miles. In Turtle Bay, anchor off the town pier. Fuel is available by Med mooring to the pier or having it delivered by panga. Restaurants are plentiful ashore, and while they don’t provide fine dining, nobody on board has to cook. The town has a small medical clinic.
LEG

Turtle Bay to Islas San Benitos, 57 miles, 5.7 hours
THIS IS A SHORT DAY, so sleep in. Once underway, pass outside of Isla Natividad and Cedros, to avoid the current and the fishing nets and pots in Dewey Channel. The approach to San Benitos is wide open from the south. I like to anchor halfway between the large western island and the smaller middle island, but be mindful of some submerged rocks. This is one of my favorite stops because of its isolation and the large sea lion, seal and sea elephant rookery on the middle island.

San Benitos to San Quintin, 126 miles, 12.6 hours
DEPART AT FIRST LIGHT, because there is just enough daylight to accommodate a 10-knot passage. Exit through the channel between the middle and east islands, but know that this is potentially the roughest leg of the trip; it’s usually bounciest at departure and lessens as you close again with the coast. If you can’t make it to San Quintin before dark, shorten the run to 100 miles by anchoring at Punta Baja. The anchorage at Bahia San Quintin is large, well protected and similar to Santa Maria. Anchor in 30 feet of water well to the east of the lagoon entrance.

CRUISING INTO TRANQUILITY
AN EXPLORATION OF DRURY INLET AND ACTAEON SOUND WAS A WELCOME WAYPOINT DURING A SUMMER OF ADVENTURE.

Beyond the scenery, Arlene and I are attracted to Drury Inlet because we find it less traveled than the neighboring Broughton Island area.
While the waters of the Drury Inlet, including Richmond Bay, are fairly quiet, sometimes neighbors aren’t such a bad thing.
W Story and photos by Deane Hislop
We timed our arrival at Stuart Narrows near high slack because we wanted to avoid the 7-knot current that can flow through the narrow pinch point. Slack occurs 15 minutes after high and low slack at Alert Bay. We guided Easy Goin’ through the narrowest point and swiftest portion, staying clear of Welde Rock, a large, flat, drying rock, in the center of the narrows. It was covered during our passage, but kelp identified its location. The rock dries at about an 8-foot tide.
Drury Inlet is a scenic inlet, but in a different way. Most inlets along the British Columbia coast are steep and fjord-like, but Drury is surrounded by low, rolling hills that run east and west and are covered by second-growth forest. As a result, portions of the inlet are susceptible to prevailing summer westerlies. Beyond the scenery, Arlene and I are attracted to Drury Inlet because we find it less traveled than the neighboring Broughton Island area. Inside Drury Inlet, the most popular anchorages are Richmond, Jennis and Sutherland bays. An anchor trip line is recommended, because logging debris may clutter the bottom and could foul the anchor.
RICHMOND BAY
Our destination was Richmond Bay, just inside the inlet on the south side. Prior to entering the bay, we set the prawn traps at a location suggested by Chris Scheveers, Sullivan Bay Marina’s manager, a few days prior. The inlet is known to be rich in these large, sweet crustaceans. Once we were past the north side of Leche Islet, we turned into Richmond Bay, where we gave a wide berth to rocks and an islet in the center of the bay. The bay includes two anchorages. The first, in the extreme southwestern corner, was taken, so we set Easy Goin’s hook in the second anchorage, in the southeastern portion of

the bay, up against the western shoreline for some protection from the wind, in case it decided to kick up. A short time after we got the anchor securely set in the mud bottom, I launched the dinghy and did some lingcod fishing. Once the tender was loaded with a rod, tackle, a net, a depth sounder and safety equipment, I was off across the bay and through a narrow opening between a small island and the mainland. I stopped in 100 feet of water and dropped a two-ounce jig tipped with a large white rubber worm over the side. As the offering approached the bottom, the rod doubled over and it was fish-on. Less than 30 minutes after my departure, I was back on Easy Goin’ with an 18-pound lingcod for dinner. Late in the afternoon, a large school of pink salmon appeared in the anchorage as drizzle began to fall. Fish were rolling and jumping everywhere. With all the rings on the bay’s surface, it looked like it was raining hard. For a couple who likes to fish, it was difficult not to don the foul weather gear and go fishing, but we had all Jennis Bay is a nice place to the fish the small refrigerator take a break from anchoring and freezer could hold, so out, and its potluck happy hour is an area favorite. for the balance of the day we Deane (opposite page) shows “oohed” and “aahed” at mother off his 18-pound lingcod, nature’s show. which made a nice dinner.

After breakfast the next morning, we headed out of the bay to pull the traps and continue our exploration of the inlet. The two traps had a total of 180 succulent spot prawns. With that kind of success, we decided to rebait the traps and return them to our little honey-hole before heading to Jennis Bay.
JENNIS BAY
Anchorage is good in Jennis Bay, with room for three or four boats, but our plan was to stay at the small, rustic and remote wilderness marina (jennisbay.com). Upon our arrival we were invited to the daily potluck happy hour. Thankfully, we had cruised the area many times before, so we knew that having appetizer ingredients on board is standard procedure, because such gatherings are a regular occasion at the area’s marinas. Everyone is asked to bring an appetizer to share and a favorite beverage. When the weather cooperates, happy hour
is held on the dock, but on the evening of our visit, with the weather threatening to cut loose, everyone gathered in the cookhouse, a 100-year-old logger’s floating home. The marina offers hospitality, 350 feet of moorage, Wi-Fi, cellphone service, a washroom and a shower. When the weather permits it, the owners host a campfire ashore, complete with s’mores, and an occasional sing-along. Ashore, adventuresome boaters will find miles of logging roads that crisscross through the forest. They are definitely worth exploring. Our hosts were quick to warn us about bears. They suggested we wear a bear bell — the hope being that any bear would hear us coming and head the other way. One road leads to Huaskin Lake, and both are like a history museum thanks to the varied remnants of the area’s logging history. An old steam donkey that once used to move logs lies abandoned and rusting away in the woods. If this equipment could talk, what stories it would tell.

MUIRHEAD ISLANDS
The next morning, we said our goodbyes and continued our exploration, setting a course for Sutherland Bay, which offers good holding, but by the time we arrived, four boats were already in the large anchorage. We would have had plenty of room to anchor, but we decided to move back into the Muirhead Islands. We set the anchor in a small notch behind an islet at the northeast end of the group, where we were surrounded by a cluster of rocks and islets — exactly the sort of place we like to drop the anchor and explore by dinghy.
ACTAEON SOUND
The following day, at near low slack, I set out in the dinghy to explore Actress Passage and Actaeon Sound. I always like looking for possible anchorages wherever we go. The narrow and twisting Actress Passage has several drying rocks and strong currents that make for an exciting transit, even in a dinghy. The cruising
guides suggest making passage during slack water. Once I was through the passage, my first stop was out of the current in Skeene Bay, which is a beautiful and protected anchorage with a view of Mt. Bullock to the northeast. The next stop was the classic tidal basin of Bond Lagoon, so I motored up the shallow channel that leads to the massive lagoon. Cruising guides suggest there is good anchorage in the lagoon and insist that entrance at high slack is a must, but I don’t believe I will attempt to take Easy Goin’ through the entrance, because in the channel, to starboard, is a large uncharted rock that lurks just below the surface. After touring Bond Lagoon, I continued my cruise of discovery up Actaeon Sound. I checked out Hand Bay, which offers no protection for anchoring, and Creasy Bay, where there was a logging operation. As I continued up the sound on the north side, a short distance beforebleed England Point, in 0.125”
a drying cove, I found a decomposing barge that offered evidence of past logging activity. Actaeon Sound ends at the entrance to Tsibass Lagoon. Expect to find serious tidal rapids from here. Aside from a few minutes of slack water at high tide, the passage into Tsibass Lagoon is not navigable — a seething whitewater river, narrow, shallow and encumbered by reefs. The rush of outbound water has such velocity that it covers the head of the sound with a thick foam. The clouds rolled in and the wind began to kick up, so I started to make the six-and-a-half-mile run back to Easy Goin’. We swung on the hook for two days in our cozy anchorage. All the while, we enjoyed the scenery and explored the many islands and islets that make up the Muirhead Group. Finally, it was time to point Easy Goin’ eastward through Stuart Narrows and out into Wells Passage. We had more exploring to do.

MAKE THE SWITCH GET THE LOWDOWN ON DIGITAL SWITCHING. BY CAPT. FRANK LANIER
D
IGITAL SWITCHING IS one of the hottest trends in the world of boating, and while typically associated with larger yachts, the technology is rapidly finding its way onto smaller craft of all stripes. But what exactly is digital switching and is it really the wave of the future? Here’s a quick look at digital switching.
WHAT IS IT? While you may not be familiar with the marine use of digital switching, your car or truck has used some form of it for decades. Digital switching is a networked control and monitoring system that replaces conventional DC mechanical circuit breakers and switches with a digital power distribution/switching system operating on a NMEA2000 network. As this digital system is programmable, users can control onboard electrical and
electronic systems (e.g., lighting, security systems, bilge pumps) from any point in the NMEA network around the boat by utilizing a network-connected multifunction display, smartphone or tablet. Another great feature is the ability to energize groups or series of switching operations with the press of a single touchscreen button. Through the wonders of programmable digital switching, you can now step aboard and turn on all of the electrical systems and electronics you’ll need for a day of fishing or a week of cruising with a single button. Once back at the dock, a single button can again be used to shut down multiple systems — no more running around to different circuit breaker panels — while leaving required systems up and running. Are you home after a two-hour drive from the marina only to realize you forgot to turn the stereo system off or the bilge alarm system on? With a digital switching system, you can do both from the comfort of your own living room. (con’t on pg. 31)

THE POLITICS OF LEFT-HANDEDNESS
B
OATING WORLD, THIS magazine’s sister
publication, ran a nice blurb that told folks where they could buy my latest book (Amazon.com, “Boneheads and a Bully Pulpit”). The blurb referred to me as a curmudgeon, which I take as a compliment. Do you realize that, if I weren’t living, the dictionary would be one word short? What pushes me into being a curmudgeon? Being left-handed. I started out life as a right-hander, but riding my bike one day just before my eighth birthday I was struck by a drunk driver, effectively removing any help the right side of my body might have given the left. A most beautiful young lady, Karen Halvorsen, helped me transition to a lefty, especially writing. At that point it took me 30 seconds to discover the world was designed for right-handers, as I slid my hand across the words and smeared them into oblivion. School-step railings were for right-handers going up the right side, and down the left side. Desks were designed for righties. Drinking cup lids matched right-handed handles. The list of barriers to joining society was endless. I survived pretty well, but in 1969-’70 I thought I’d died and gone to Heaven. Ford put everything of consequence on the left side of the dash on its full-sized cars: ignition switch, heat/ AC controls, radio. I was a happy camper! Somebody must have noticed that lefties were being pandered to, and Ford went back to kowtowing to righties. Today I reach though the steering wheel of the Highlander and the Dodge Ram to engage the starter. Don’t ask me about the other controls. The final straw smashing my patience to smithereens was when another leftie, a friend of mine, asked me to feed his cat while he was on a trip. I failed to remember he had enough money to combat righties, so when I tried to open the cat food can by turning the handle as a right-hander would, it exploded into a thousand parts. I ended up special-ordering a can opener for him to replace the one I destroyed. No good deed goes unpunished. Fast forward to today. Remove the hood from any outboard. Note the latches even open more easily for a righty than a lefty! Look at both sides of the powerhead: the easily accessible things are on one’s right, as one faces the front of the engine. All the stuff on the left requires either an adroit lefty or a lefty with an accomplice. All boating knots are tied with a right-bias. Look at the twist-tie holding the top of the bag together for new electronics. Even it is twisted to the right — which you don’t know until you realize you’ve fallen to the Theory of the Hidden Righties. Wiring harnesses come into the console or cabin from the right and are bundled and strapped with a right-bias. When they have to be separated, there is no way to possibly get the wires back in the same sequence. But, alas, I’m going back to fulfilling Mr. Webster’s definition of a curmudgeon.

BENEFITS The benefits of digital switching are many. Here are the important ones at a glance: • “Plug and play” components are used. • Expensive switch panels and bulky wire runs are replaced with smaller, more robust cabling and digital control modules, reducing installation cost and complexity. • System installations are simplified. Digital switching offers a number of advantages to the builder/installer, including more effective modular system installation, flexibility in layout, easy system expandability, cost and weight savings for reduced cabling runs/sizes, and a reduction in conventional hard-wired switches leading to cleaner/simpler helm consoles. • Systems are user-customizable. Need a bilge pump to stay on for a pre-determined time after pressing the On button? No problem. • System failure notification makes troubleshooting easier. Those fancy touchscreen buttons are not just high-tech, virtual reality versions of electromechani-

I
T’S A CENTER console and has all the trappings of a nice fishing boat, but it also has seating for a dozen or more people and many amenities of a dayboat. The Pursuit S 328 can pull double duty without breaking a sweat. Heck, given the berth — it converts to an aft-facing sofa — and the head below, it can pull triple duty for a couple on a weekend getaway.
With lines, amenities, styling, and a hardtop and windshield system borrowed from its larger Sport line mate, the S 408, the S 328 has taken a proven and popular concept and made it accessible to even more people. We’ve probably used this before, but the S 328 is a bit of a reverse mullet: business in the back and party in the front. But thanks to two folddown cockpit seats, the boat can be party in the front and back. When the seats are folded up, the cockpit is a fishing arena. A transom livewell and two in-floor fishboxes are the obvious fishing amenities. Outriggers protrude from the hardtop. Rod holders are built into the transom and gunwales. Rod storage can be found under the gunwales and belowdecks on either side of the berth. An optional portside dive door can help to land the really big ones. In the bow, a U-shaped wraparound lounge hugs the hull sides and provides seating for four or five passengers, while a forward-facing settee is built into the forward part of the helm console. Amidships, under an integrated hardtop and behind a custom windshield, is the helm, which houses two 12-inch Garmin multifunction displays, engine controls (including the optional Yamaha Helm Master steering system), a VHF radio, an optional autopilot and more. A bench helm seat faces the dash. It’s plenty big enough for two people and can fit
three in a squeeze. A refrigerator is built in under the starboard side of the seat console. Owners can opt to add a grill in the cockpit, for grilled fish straight out of the ocean. On the transom hang twin Yamaha F300 outboards (though the Pursuit literature indicates owners could opt for 350s). That’s plenty of power to get to the fish quickly, and they’re quiet enough not to interrupt a harbor cruise. Whether two fishermen spend all day in the cockpit and say five words to each other or 10 dayboaters spread out from stem to stern and won’t stop talking, the Pursuit S 328 can handle it.

HATTERAS
70 MOTOR YACHT ENCLOSED BRIDGE
A TWEAK CREATES A YACHT WITH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LOOK AND FEEL.
A
T THE FT. LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL Boat Show in 2015, Hatteras Yachts unveiled a new model, the 70 Motor Yacht, which has since been a hit for the builder. It bridged a gap in the motoryacht space between the 60 and the 100 and was designed for owners who really like to entertain. Fast forward roughly 15 months, to the 2017 Yachts Miami Beach boat show, and Hatteras unveiled another new yacht — a tweak to the 70MY.
As you may have guessed from the name of the yacht in the headline, Hatteras enclosed the flybridge of the 70MY. Doing so created a yacht that can cruise in most any weather and can cruise earlier — and later — in the season. Enclosing the bridge changed the layout a bit, and gave designers a chance to make the space fit with the rest of the yacht. For starters, the helm got bigger and fancier, eschewing the fiberglass look in favor of whichever wood is used throughout the yacht. The steps down to the main deck moved to port, so the helm happily claimed the extra space, yielding room for two multifunction displays, at least 16-inchers, and a sizeable glove compartment. Between the two MFDs are engine displays and an ICOM VHF radio and a Furuno navigational data organizer. It looks like a third MFD could fit there, if one so desired. Twin captain’s chairs face the dash. Aft of the helm, to port, is a raised L-shaped dinette settee, and across from that is a buffet cabinet that contains a sink, a refrigerator, storage and a highlow TV. The buffet and the dining table are topped with the same stone, a nice upgrade from the previous version. All around are windows that provide plenty of natural light and a view of the water no matter where one is sitting. An opening hatch in the hardtop delivers fresh air, especially with the aft door open. It’s a comfortable, social space that feels like part of the overall yacht, and steps fore and aft mean occupants can get to the main deck quickly.
Hatteras created a yacht that can cruise in most any weather.

At the dock or at anchor in some hidden away cove, the bow will surely be a convergence point for all aboard. accommodating outdoor spaces on the yacht — and folks who want the entire outdoor experience can still get the 70MY with the open bridge. The cockpit, which is covered overhead by the flybridge deck but otherwise open to the elements, includes a transom settee with room for five people, a table and three portable chairs opposite the settee. There is room for eight people to sit and six to eat at the table. A console in the forward port corner includes a sink and a refrigerator. For a more wide-open experience, the bow area includes a three-person sunpad — though a gaggle of kids could fit there — and wing settees with room for five or six more people. Cupholders are placed accessibly around the seating, and the holders are big enough to accommodate a bottle of wine. A couple of speakers at the head of the sun lounge bring the music du jour to the bow occupants. At the dock or at anchor in some hidden away cove, the bow will surely be a convergence point for all aboard. Wide, tall sidedecks ensure that getting from one end of the yacht to the other is easy and safe.

Forward of the settee is a large galley, which consists of an L-shaped stone countertop with a sink and a stovetop. Storage abounds below the counter, and upper cabinets along the cabin bulkhead provide more. The aft portion of the galley is open to the salon, so the chef can be part of the social scene. An island provides more working and serving space and also includes underneath storage. A full-sized refrigerator is against the port wall, along with a day head. At the far forward end of the main cabin is a breakfast nook. Its C-shaped settee can accommodate eight people, though trying to feed that many at the split table might be a bit tight. A windshield provides a great view forward, and glass all around ensures there isn’t a bad seat in the entire space. If a buyer prefers a more formal dining experience for family and guests, there’s an alternative layout for that. The salon settee gets slightly smaller, as does the galley, and a formal dining space becomes the centerpiece, between the settee and the galley. A huge stone-topped table provides room for eight to dine.
ACCOMMODATIONS Belowdecks are four staterooms (with an option for crew quarters all the way aft), including a bow VIP, a two-berth room to port, a queen berth to starboard and a full-beam master amidships, aft of all the others. It includes a king-size bed, a bench settee, a built-in vanity, a walk-in closet and an en suite head. Buyers can add a second vanity/desk in place of the settee. Twin elongated hull windows on each side let in plenty of natural light. The forward VIP has an en suite head, and the other two staterooms share the third head, which doesn’t have to double as the day head, because there’s one on the main deck. Standard power on the yacht are twin Caterpillar C32A diesels, each cranking out 1,600 hp. On the original 70MY, top speed with the CATs was around 26 knots, with 21 to 23 knots serving as a comfortable cruising speed. Other engine options exist, which can be found on the builder’s website or by consulting a local dealer, which is Stan Miller Yachts on the West Coast.

SEATRIAL BY CAPT. TOM SERIO
HORIZON E75
THE TAIWANESE BUILDER’S LATEST MOTORYACHT COMBINES BUYER-PROVEN CUES FROM ITS SMALLER AND LARGER STABLEMATES.
A
GE-OLD QUESTIONS HAVE boggled the minds of great philosophers, including conun-
drums such as “Why did the chicken cross the road?” or “Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?” In the boating sphere, another cranium confounder has irked many: “When is a boat a yacht?” That question has been asked on docks, in bars and in yacht sales offices. Many factors come to mind when considering if a floating palace is a boat or a yacht. Size, price, design, creature comforts, fit and finish, and even attitude (the owner’s and the yacht’s) may help determine a vessel’s rank. My feeling is that if someone steps aboard a vessel and feels like it’s a yacht, then so be it. And that feeling is overwhelming aboard the new Horizon Yachts E75 motoryacht. At 77 feet, 6 inches long, it is all yacht and then some. And the attitude thing? For someone with a bad one, the E75 is just what the doctor ordered for a bona fide attitude adjuster.
FROM THE TOP The enclosed skylounge on the E75 is a fun place to be and to congregate. With an upper pilothouse that is large enough for all the necessary electronics but sufficiently compact that it doesn’t stretch from one side to the other and gobble up valuable real estate, it is one of the focal points of the yacht. Housed in carbon fiber dash panels, the helm has room for three 17-inch multifunction displays in the console (Horizon installed a Garmin suite of electronics), two Caterpillar engine displays, ABT Trac bow and stern thruster and zero-speed

TESTER’S OPINION
stabilizer controls, two Onan 29 kw generator displays, and all the regular necessities such as a VHF, autopilot, wipers and ZF Marine throttle controls. All are within easy reach. Sit back in the dual Stidd leather helm chairs. The console has room for a chart area, and there’s a three-drawer cabinet to the left of the captain’s chair. It’s not all business up here. To starboard is a large and plush L-shaped settee with a high-low table that drops and doubles as an extra berth. Enjoy the game on the 43-inch high-low LCD TV. And when nature calls, there’s a convenient day head to port. Passengers won’t feel closed in thanks to large side windows that complement the three-pane forward windshield. Additionally, there are cool port and starboard flip-up windows that are sufficient to look out of during docking or when giving line handling instructions. Open the sliding aft door and flip up the large aft window, and the enclosed skylounge becomes an open-air hideaway. Aft of the skylounge is the boat deck, another favorite attitude adjustment location. Here is a custom designed bar with three cushioned stools — perfect for that afternoon “It’s five o’clock somewhere” liquid attitude. Included in the bar area are
a sink, a refrigerator, an ice-maker and a propane grill. Ringed with stainless steel rails, the deck has room for extra lounge chairs or water toy storage, thanks to an optional davit.
MAIN ATTRACTION Let’s not forget about the main deck, where I’ll get right to the main event. The salon has a generous built-in leather couch and loveseat to starboard, a leather-finished coffee table and an armchair. To port are low-profile cabinets. From any vantage point, guests can see outside thanks to the big panoramic side windows — long, unobstructed windows of the kind one would expect on a larger yacht. I found myself immersed in the view of the sea while standing in the salon. Semi-gloss Anigre wood with high-gloss walnut accents is the interior motif, and Horizon carries it throughout all the interior spaces. A corner crystal cabinet, a wine cabinet and cooler, and a 46-inch LCD TV fit out the salon. Forward to starboard is the airy U-shaped galley. It’s open fore and aft, which adds to the unobstructed feeling and opens the sightlines from stem to stern. Silestone countertops provide plenty of working space. The yacht’s chef will find a Blanco double stainless sink, a Sub-Zero full-height refrigerator with freezer drawers, a U-Line ice-maker, and a GE appliance package that includes a dishwasher, a trash compactor, a microwave, a cooktop and an oven. Even though it may seem there’s enough upper and lower storage space, Horizon did one better. It designed the space under the staircase to the skylounge (across from the galley) as a pantry, with individual slide-out fiddled shelves with latches, countered to the
• Everywhere I looked, I could see Horizon’s dedication to innovation and
style as well as its obligation to creating a relaxing oasis. From the multiple access points to the generous panoramic salon windows to the relaxation areas, this is one yacht that keeps on giving.
In the skylounge, passengers will find panoramic views, a carbon fiber helm and an upper salon. Belowdecks, Horizon maintained its dedication to high-end fabric, stone and wood in all three staterooms and en suite heads.

angled staircase. Nice! Complementing the open-air galley is a country kitchen dinette, nestled forward at the windshield. A U-shaped settee wraps around a wood table, and custom barstool seats are situated at the open end. Seating for six is comfortable.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS From a design aspect, attention needs to be given to the access points around the E75. Forward are two pantograph doors, port and starboard, that offer easy access from the dinette area to the sidedecks. They’re convenient for loading provisions and to reduce traffic traversing the salon. They give crew access points without interrupting guests. In addition, there are two boarding gates on either side, fore and aft, for side-to docking. Portable gangways will make boarding a cinch. Dual staircases at the transom aid boarding from the swim platform, and access to the skylounge/bridge deck is via an internal or aft staircase. The E75 has full walk-around decks, amply wide for normal walking, with recessed 316 stainless cleats, high gunwales and capped railings. Even around the bow area there’s a recessed grabrail.
All this leads to the fact that there are social areas around the E75 that must be utilized to get the full yacht feel. Forward is a large sunpad lounge high enough for occupants to take in the view while soaking in the sun. Just behind is a C-shaped settee with a dual-post table, perfect for alfresco dining or enjoying the vista. Pop-up lights add ambiance without being intrusive, and a Fusion Marine audio system delivers the tunes. A teak seat up in the bow turn offers a different perspective. A teak inlay covers the anchor gear, keeping it accessible without being a toe hazard. The aft deck, which is completely covered thanks to the extended bridge deck, features a fully cushioned settee between the staircases and a large teak-inlaid table. A corner wet bar with a sink, a refrigerator, and an ice-maker, a drop-down TV and teak decking round out the aft deck.
SLEEPY TIME The E75 motoryacht is made for cruising, and with that comes the need to stay on board. Horizon carries the main deck interior finish down and throughout the accommodation level. Accessible via a forward, backlit and carpeted staircase are the forward VIP, the side berth and the

knowledge of systems and operational skill. Or it can be crewed, and Horizon considered that. Aft are crew quarters, complete with berths for two, an en suite head and shower, a galley with Summit refrigerator/freezer drawers, a GE microwave and a sink, a washer/dryer (another unit is forward for the owner) and a lounge area. One thing about Horizon is that it will build to buyer needs. Don’t want crew quarters? Perhaps this area becomes an extra stateroom for guests or a work or storage area. Prefer different materials, appliances, layouts? That shouldn’t be a problem.

full-beam master suite. In the VIP is a centerline queen berth, opening portholes, a locker and a 32-inch TV. A private en suite head has a basin sink and a separate shower stall. To starboard is a twin-berth setup with an en suite head. Horizon made it possible to slide one berth over, thereby creating a double sleeping area — in case there’s another couple aboard. Horizon does not hold back in the master suite. The builder maximizes every nook and cranny to deliver the utmost in accommodations. Want hanging lockers, drawers and storage areas? No problem. There are deep closets and drawers seemingly everywhere. Relax on the leather loveseat or fall into the comfy king berth. A built-in flip-up vanity has a dedicated swing-out stool. The en suite head contains twin basin sinks, marble-finished counters, a toilet room and a shower stall. Large hull windows bring in the light and the view, eliminating that dungeon feel. All the staterooms are finished with Anigre and walnut wood,
carpet and leather accents. The wood follows a natural grain flow, adding depth to the finish. The E75 Motoryacht can be an owner/ operator yacht, depending on one’s
Standard power on the E75 is a pair of CAT C18 engines. Our test yacht had twin CAT C32A power plants, which produce 1,600 hp each. They were able to move the 69-ton yacht at a very respectable 27 knots (2360 rpm and 165 gph total) on test day. We cruised easily at 21.7 knots at 2000 rpm and glided along at 12 knots at 1500 rpm. My time on the wheel was more to test the yacht’s ability to dance: stop, stand, pirouette, back easily and check for control response. Happily, the E75 made it through the paces with flying colors. As mentioned, this yacht has the CAT C32A diesels and they are a bit more voluminous than the standard engines. Getting around the engine room was easy, but getting between the heavy metal was a little tight. Understand that I’m a generously proportioned guy, so I had to duck between the Airseps, but that’s not a big problem. What makes up for that is that Horizon has backlit fuel sight tubes and fuel filters, allowing for quick checks of the fuel level and clarity. That, my friends, is a cool idea. Sure, maybe others do that too, but Horizon has it, and it just adds to the overall package. Despite what others may think, the Horizon E75 Motoryacht is definitely a yacht, and with a little attitude. Come aboard and let it change your attitude. SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2017

M A N S F I E L D
Spend enough time on the ocean and inevitably you’ll see the blue lights or get a call over the radio from the U.S. Coast Guard. The message: they want to come aboard your boat. At first the nerves kick in, and then everyone aboard watches sheepishly as the well-armed Coast Guard officers pull alongside the boat. A lot of boaters can relate. The Coast Guard made more than 30,000 boardings in 2015, and if your offshore adventures are near ports, the international border or known smuggling regions, it’s only a matter of time before law enforcement will stop by. The Coast Guard has three primary reasons for boarding recreational boats: boater safety, security and environmental protection. Boaters will recognize the difference, especially if officers are approaching with guns drawn. When the day arrives and the Coast Guard pays a
3/1/17 8:12 AM
visit, knowing what to expect can ease the anxiety. Do the right things — and don’t do the wrong things — and the sight of officers climbing aboard won’t cause undue panic.
What to Expect After a Coast Guard crew reaches a boater either by radio or visual contact, they will pull alongside the boat, do a quick introduction and usually announce why they want to board the vessel. An officer will ask if there are any weapons aboard and the last time the Coast Guard was aboard. He will ask how many people are on board and instruct anyone belowdecks to come up top. Boarding officers will do a basic safety sweep, which includes checking the bilges to make sure the boat won’t sink during the inspection, and ask for paperwork to start the inspection process. South Florida boater Steve David has been boarded by the Coast Guard five times, typically when he’s returning from a trip to Bimini to his port in Ft. Lauderdale. “If they’re looking for contraband, they’re going to lift up a lot of stuff,” said David, a retired five-time Unlimited hydroplane driving champion. “They go through your closets, check under floorboards, look at seat cushions. You have to let them do their job.” Once the officers have completed their inspection, they will give the captain the yellow copy of the 4100 boarding form (see “Good as Gold”). If there are no major issues, the captain can continue his voyage.
E. O’Connor, a maritime attorney with Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP in Philadelphia. “I think that’s probably a surprise for most people.” The right of the Coast Guard to board a boat without probable cause dates back to the American Revolutionary War in 1790. Congress created the Revenue Cutter Service to combat smuggling and enforce tariff laws. Personnel had to get onto ships
The boarding will go much faster, according to Charles F. Herd Jr. of The Lanier Law Firm in Houston, if the Coast Guard-required safety equipment is easily accessible to the officers. “If they are conducting a safety inspection and I’m the skipper of the boat and I’m resisting it, they’re going to assume that’s because I am going to fail the inspection,” Herd said. “They don’t want to be a pain in

The U.S. Coast Guard visits U.S. boat manufacturers and works with them to ensure they are compliant with federal regulations. so they could view the cargo and assess tariffs. But there is also a practicality to waiving probable cause on the high seas, O’Connor said. Officers can’t be expected to go to court to seek a search warrant, especially when patrolling 20 miles offshore. If the Coast Guard wants to board your boat, you can’t stop them. If you try, chances are you’ll get a trip back to shore in handcuffs.
Law Review
Be Prepared
Most boaters don’t realize that when they leave for an offshore fishing trip they leave a major constitutional right at the docks. Americans are generally familiar with the Fourth Amendment and the requirement that law enforcement have probable cause to conduct a search or make an arrest. When it comes to the high seas, however, there is no probable cause. The Coast Guard can (and will) board your boat whether you like it or not. “Usually a law enforcement officer would need probable cause and, in most cases, a warrant to be able to enter and search property and seize things, but when you’re out at sea you lose that right,” said Robert
When the day comes for a Coast Guard boarding, it pays to be prepared. Know exactly what safety equipment is required by getting a checklist at a local marine store or taking a class through the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Officers are going to do the standard check to make sure there are enough life jackets on board for all of the passengers and that children under age 13 are wearing the required life jacket. They’ll check for flares, a fire extinguisher, a noisemaker and an easily accessible throw ring with a line attached. During the safety check, officers will run the captain’s driver’s license and the boat registration.
the tail, but they really want to be sure the vessels out on the water are safely operated and equipped.”
Gotcha Coast Guard officials say the most common violations they find on recreational boats are expired flares, old fire extinguishers and not enough life jackets for passengers. To avoid citations for such infractions, pick a date each year (such as your birthday) to check and see if the flares and fire extinguishers have expired. Turn fire extinguishers upside down and feel if there is liquid moving around. If not, it’s time to replace it (or them), even if the indicator shows green. “When we show up, we’re not here to teach you the law,” said the Coast Guard’s Lt. j.g. James Clyne. “We’re here to see if you’re in compliance with the law.”
Thou Shall not Protest Putting up a strong protest will only make it more difficult for the captain and passengers. Be respectful and provide the information the boarding officers are asking for. Clyne knows it can be annoying SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2017

to be stopped by the Coast Guard, especially if you are in the midst of day outing with your family. “We try to be efficient and polite,” Clyne said, a task made easier “(if) you just go along with what the officer’s asking for. The faster you can provide the information he wants, the faster he’ll be gone.” Captains should ask questions of the boarding officers, but they need to know when to keep quiet and let the officers complete their work. “I would try not to have a tone and (ask) confrontational questions,” O’Connor said. “If the questioning comes across with a more curious tone, then I think it’s certainly within your rights to ask.”
Legal Weed (Not Really) Although recreational marijuana is legal in California, Oregon and Washington, it remains illegal under federal law. That’s why it’s best to keep the OG Kush and any other personal-use drugs at home. Coast Guard officers are required to confiscate any marijuana and issue a citation. The decision on whether to press charges is usually left up to the local district attorney. Clyne said the Coast Guard’s San Pedro, Calif., office has a safe filled with confiscated marijuana, which people can recover by filing a claim with the government. “To this date, I don’t know anybody who has asked for their weed back,” he said. Herd said if law enforcement finds even a small quantity of drugs on the boat, it opens the possibility of the vessel being seized by the government. “Just don’t allow drugs on the boat,” Herd said. “There’s no good upside.”
Weapons on Board It’s not illegal to have a lawfully registered gun or a knife on a boat, but make sure the officers know. The boarding officers will usually ask before

boarding, but it’s good to be proactive and let them know. “We don’t care if you have guns or knives on your boat,” Clyne said. But, he added, “You don’t want the officers to find anything you should have told them about.”
What Makes Officers Nervous Officers start to get nervous when they see people scurrying around a boat, especially if they duck into the cabin. If the Coast Guard crew sees someone throwing items into the water, their approach to the vessel won’t be a warm welcome. “We want to see people’s hands, and they shouldn’t make any sudden movements,” Clyne said. “Just don’t act weird.” Officers are leery of messy recreational boats that have lots of boxes and trash. While looking for contraband, they worry about getting stuck by a needle. Giving false information and not providing an accurate count of the people on the boat is another red flag for law enforcement. “Tell the truth,” Herd said. “If you’re lying, they assume you’ve got something to hide.”
What Makes Officers Happy Owners who have their small children in life jackets and their boat documentation easily accessible can score big points with the Coast Guard. Have the local Coast Guard Auxiliary go over your boat each year, and keep the certificate they give you handy, so you can show a boarding officer. Officers are playing a numbers game and trying to make contact with as many boats as they can during their shift. Anything you can do to help them with the process is in your best interest. “I always say ‘thank you, sir, and welcome aboard,’” said Herd, who is quick to provide the required information. “When that happens, they’ve always been
very gracious and said, ‘I can tell that you’re squared away and I’m not even going to go below.’”
Good as Gold After completing a boarding, the Coast Guard will give the captain a gold form, which shows the boat has been inspected. Anyone who gets stopped for a boarding within a few months of receiving the form should show it to the new Coast Guard crew. They generally will find another vessel to board. “You’ll get the yellow slip whether everything is good or something was found in error,” Clyne said. “If you get pulled over two days later, then you can say, ‘Hey, they boarded me two days ago, and here’s my receipt.’”
Don’t be Embarrassed It can be embarrassing to see a Coast Guard boat with flashing blue lights coming at you, especially with family and friends aboard. Just because the Coast Guard wants to pay a visit doesn’t mean you’re in trouble with the law. Get over the embarrassment, O’Connor said, and recognize that the Coast Guard has an important job. The Coast Guard is the only military service that has legal authority to enforce laws against U.S. citizens. While David has encountered boardings on his trips to Bimini and the Florida Keys, he appreciates the difficult job the Coast Guard and local law enforcement have on the water. “The Coast Guard is one of those agencies that you can get ticked off at, but when something is wrong at sea, you’re awfully glad to see the helicopter or the cutter heading toward you,” he said. “I’ve always tried to relate it that way. They can stop me, but if I ever need them because my life is in peril, they’re going to be on my side. I guess that’s the payment you make.” SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2017

The evolution of boats and the way we use them has led to some interesting common themes that are improving the boater experience. BY ZUZANA PROCHAZKA
The more things change, the more they, well … change. I spend a lot of time on different kinds of boats, and I’ve noticed that my boat-test reports are showing quite a few commonalities. With a bit of creativity, it’s possible to group them into six categories that are definitely impacting the way we boat … or, is it that the way we boat is actually driving these changes in design as well as in the industry?

25 Trends Are Making Better Bosting Outdoor Living
Presumably we own a boat because we like to spend time outdoors, but roughing it is not on the agenda for most of us. We expect to be comfortable, so the list of “necessary” amenities has exploded. 01 / Beautiful Bows Bow areas have become the new social gathering spots. Sunpads — some with lifting head cushions — are pretty much a given. Concepts have filtered down from large yachts, including popup cabanas that shelter the upper portion of the sunpad and entire step-down lounges with integrated settees and tables, such as the Horizon V80. Beneteau’s Monte Carlo 6 even has a chaise that electrically raises out of the teak-slatted foredeck.

Galeon 445

02 / Aft Platforms On the other end, giant submersible hydraulic swim platforms, such as the one on the Galeon 445, do double and triple duty. They serve as fantastic teak beaches to play or relax on. They’re also a good way to carry a tender, since they can submerge and lift a dinghy or guide a jet tender (also getting more popular) into the dinghy garage. The platforms elongate the boat and sometimes make it more expensive to dock, but they are a nice addition. With many builders, they are still optional, although Azimut offers its hydraulic platform as standard equipment on the 60. These platforms have also enhanced living and entertaining aboard. Take the transom of the Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 for example. A grill and wet bar integrated into the composite structure let onboard chefs stand on the platform and prepare a meal while chatting with people in the cockpit. It’s an entertaining scenario that expands the outdoor living space. Furthermore, platforms also serve as entry points into transom-based crew quarters (more on that later).
03 / Terrific Tops Flybridges are getting a facelift, too. No longer just a place to sit and drive, today’s flybridges have gained wet bars, grills, refrigerators, ice-makers, showers and sophisticated sound systems. Now, the crew can spend more time up top, and I don’t mean just for the view.

Finally, no discussion of outdoor aesthetics and ambiance would be complete without a nod to underwater lighting. The question buyers used to ask, according to Lumishore’s Susan James, was “How big will the hole in the boat be.” Now, the question is “How many should I put in?” Underwater lighting has become more powerful, slightly less expensive and definitely more imaginative. Today’s lights flash, strobe, dim, change color and even pair with sound so they “dance” to the music coming from the stereo. With better power draw/output ratios and enhanced durability and longevity, lights have moved from nice-to-have accessories to must-have equipment. You can even pimp your tender or pontoon boat with fancy lighting.

Indoor Ingenuity
Nowhere is the effect of superyacht trickle-down more evident than in the impressive interiors of modern motoryachts. A dozen examples of evolving equipment come to mind when describing how our inside environs are making us more comfortable. 05 / Chef’s Choice
07/ Fit for Crew
Let’s start with the galley. Gone are top-loading iceboxes that effectively rendered that stick of butter at the bottom unreachable. Nifty refrigerator drawers are easy to access and can fit under most counters to take up less space than a stand-up unit. In addition, contemporary galleys can hide the essentials, so the stove, oven, sink or refrigerator can be hidden behind cabinetry. Unlike the giant SubZero appliances we freely display in our homes, the trend aboard is to hide everything for a cleaner, uncluttered appearance.
Separation and privacy have driven many recent layout configurations. Take for example the Prestige 550, which provides a dedicated stairwell to the entirely separate and opulent master stateroom. Owners today want some distance between them and their guests or crew, so segregated crew quarters are becoming standard. Usually equipped with a bed and a head, some crew quarters, such as those on the Outer Reef 88, can get quite posh. For most transom-based crew cabins, it’s a tradeoff with the dinghy garage. Even owner/operators are opting for these extra cabins to house teenagers and grandkids who get a kick out of the isolated staterooms.
06 / Owner Retreats Full-beam masters have become ubiquitous, and they now benefit from enormous windows. Add to that full beam heads that separate the cabin from the machinery space for better sound attenuation. Other custom features that are popping up in master staterooms are small offices or breakfast nooks, such as on the Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht and Johnson 65, so owners can enjoy the privacy of their cabin for things other than sleeping.
08 / Bright Idea With the advent of stronger materials and better leak-proof bonding, windows and fixed skylights have gotten larger in salons and galleys. Hulls, too, have benefitted from bigger windows, allowing light into buried masters. A very popular feature has been the giant sunroof that makes any boat feel like a convertible. The Galeon
The concept of single-level living has come on strong, too. Minimizing steps and level changes both on deck and inside has become very popular. Salons tend to flow from the helm station all the way back to the cockpit without interruption. Not only is this visually pleasing, it’s easier on the knees as the boating population ages. Check out the Maritimo S58 for an easy, open floor plan.
10 / Center of the Action Galleys are no longer buried below, and they’ve switched places over time. Aft galleys have become popular because the chef can serve guests in both the salon and the cockpit. In fact, the galley has become the focal point for melding the indoors with the outdoors, as on the Cruisers Cantius 45 where an opening window and some stools create a nice bar area that erases the line between what is in and what is out.
11 / Superior Interior Boaters today have neither the patience nor the taste for utilitarian interiors. Hard surfaces, poor joinery and a lack of pizzazz are out. Luxurious touches such as leatherpadded and fabric-wrapped bulkheads, leather drawer and cabinet pulls, designer stitching on soft surfaces and high-contrast colors are de rigueur. A boat must be aesthetically striking, like a high-end boutique hotel. Rich finishes, exotic woods and intermingled shapes and textures are added for dramatic effect, inviting both a visual and tactile experience. Builders are increasingly employing designers and decorators — from both the superyacht or home-based worlds — to get a leg up on the competition.
12 / No-Spill Frills Finally, let’s not forget about cupholders, which have multiplied in recent years. The 36-foot Everglades 360 LXC has 14. Yes, cupholders can be pooh-poohed — until you don’t have one within reach. So laugh if you like, but they’ve become essential. SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2017

Total Technification
Following the concept of a smart home, today’s smart boat is rife with technification — my descriptive new term that has yet to make it into Webster’s. 13 /One Screen Does All The workhorse of onboard information consolidation is the multifunction display (MFD), which gathers and presents everything, including navigation information, engine diagnostics, camera feeds, lighting, weather and entertainment. Today’s interface has fewer menus, and information collapses down to the essentials in a way that mirrors the mobile apps we use every day. Multitouch, complete with pinch-tozoom capability and large screens, makes information easy to use. However, executives from Raymarine, Navico and Garmin agree that the MFD is becoming crowded real estate as boaters demand more information at their fingertips.
This may be one reason why the glass bridge has become popular. Large, crystal-clear screens such as units from Simrad and Garmin make the cockpit look like the dash of the SS Enterprise and provide a less cluttered space for all the data. “Boaters have no tolerance today for an interface that is confusing or difficult to use,” said Ken Cirillo of Jeppesen.
14 /Stay Connected Boats are becoming highly networked. As at home, Wi-Fi aboard is a given, and connectivity is everything, whether you’re working while cruising, need to keep in touch with family or just don’t want to miss the big game on TV.
13
Internet comes aboard via various equipment, including Wi-Fi and cellular boosters and satellite antennas such as those from KVH and Intellian. Having benefited from substantial gains in sophistication as well as a decrease in plan and hardware pricing, satellite connectivity today is more common, as is shown by the proliferation of the telltale domes on cabin tops.
15 /Switching has Switched Digital switching, such as C-Zone (or the Swedish version used by Raymarine called EmpriBus) is basically replacing the electrical panel. Meanwhile, rocker switches and independent gauges are giving way to the touchscreen interface on the MFD. With joysticks, track balls and color displays, the helm station has turned into the all-digital all-the-time command pod, and that has changed helm aesthetics significantly.

16 / What’s App-ening? One thing is for sure, the gold standard of connectivity is apps. The marine industry is watching the mobile (smartphone and tablet) and PC industries to see what’s next. “Smart devices have molded some high expectations on both functionality and usability,” said Jim McGowan, marketing manager at Raymarine. Wireless remotes and app interfaces now control things such as stereos from Fusion and underwater lighting from Lumitec. Expect to see more app-like functionality for just about everything aboard.
Boats are becoming highly networked.
17 / Ports over Plugs Oh, and as an aside, the 12v outlet has become an endangered species on boats (and in cars) as USB ports have proliferated.
18 / Past Plastics
“Just one word, my boy: Composites.” OK, so the line from “The Graduate” actually used the word “plastics,” but the world has changed. Although the evolution in boat construction processes and materials could fill a whole article in itself, we must acknowledge here that the techie trend also includes lighter, stronger and better finished construction of hulls, decks and component parts. The use of more durable coring materials, fiber-reinforced polyesters and vinylesters, and of course, carbon fiber construction, makes bigger boats stronger and lighter. That translates to the need for smaller engines and fuel tanks, so there is more room for amenities and stowage.
Pod drives have set the world of marine propulsion on its ear. These power systems eliminate shafts, struts and rudders and instead use directional thrust with the combination of a transmission, an articulating outdrive and a propeller. The Volvo Penta IPS drive faces the propellers forward, while Cummins MerCruiser Zeus and ZF Marine angle theirs aft. The angle of the shaft is eliminated, so pod driven boats enjoy 15 to 30 percent greater fuel efficiency. Pods are also more hydrodynamic, so smaller, lighter engines can do the work of larger ones. More hulls are being designed from scratch to accommodate pod drives as builders recognize that simply converting an existing hull shape to pods is sub-optimizing the results. Another benefit of pod drives is the placement of the engines farther aft, which opens up interior space and makes room for those great master staterooms. The designers at Maritimo took advantage of pod drives to fashion a full-beam master on the M50, a 50-footer that wouldn’t have otherwise accommodated such an owner’s retreat. But by far the biggest attraction of pod-driven boats is their maneuverability. With the help of joystick control, owners can dock with confidence, which might get them out of the slip more often. (Joystick control systems are available on straightshaft and sterndrive boats, too.) Wireless joystick remote units such as the one from Yacht Controller allow operators to walk around the vessel while docking, so they can manage docklines themselves and potentially single-hand.

25 Trends Are Making Better Bosting Industry Paths
20/ The Outs Outboards haven’t been left out in the latest march toward innovation. More powerful engines such as Seven Marine’s 627 hp beast can send boats to the moon. Today’s outboards have a smaller footprint, lighter construction and enhanced serviceability, which is helping sell more units per boat, so it’s not unusual to see four 300 hp outboards hanging off a center console Yellowfin fishing boat. Even pontoon boats now carry twins and triples. Outboards are no strangers to joystick control thanks to products such as Yamaha’s Helm Master. Other major outboard manufacturers, Mercury for example, have their own versions, so if you have twins, doubles or quads, you can drive with a joystick and look like a pro.
21 / Alternatives Finally, hybrid and electric propulsion systems are gaining ground. Electric power systems from Elco have been installed on power- and sailboats, and German engine builder Steyr, has developed a line of marine engines that has many industry people intrigued. Greenline Yachts has launched two hybrid-powered boats (33- and 40-footers), with a 48-foot flagship on the horizon. In the quest to be leaner, meaner and greener, propulsion has made headway and more innovation is coming.
Boater tastes and patterns are having an effect on vessel design specifically, and on the industry as a whole. 22 / Volumetric The average boat has gained both length and beam to the point that marinas are being rebuilt with completely different slip configurations. There may be much talk about living in micro-houses, but aboard a boat, we still like our space, and many of the larger powerboats now have more square footage than the average condo.
23 / Surging Segments Not just for SUVs and hatchbacks, the crossover game is present in boats of all sizes. A center console fishing boat such as the Scout 420 LXF must be able to take a crew fishing for the day but it should also clean up well to host a cocktail cruise in the evening. Builders are designing more comprehensive models that are broadly accepted by all members of the family. Not only does such versatility sell more boats, it gets them used more days per year. Another segment that’s booming is power catamarans. Having had the path cut for them by sailing catamarans, power cats are viewed as less weird and newfangled. Their benefits are immediately appreciated, especially by sailors transitioning to power: better livability, good system redundancy, better fuel economy and high cruising speeds. One good example of a power cat with a completely different approach is the Aquila 44, where the master stateroom straddles both hulls and the center deck, and where additional flybridge access is via steps up from the bow. What’s not to like?
24 / Flattery? Copycats abound. Builders are watching each other closely and, in some cases, shamelessly copying one another’s difficult-to-patent elements. In the process, one-upmanship is improving innovative ideas and boats are clearly becoming better.
25 / Smaller Sandbox Of course this similarity is contributing to industry consolidation, as builders gobble up one another to increase economies of scale in production and materials purchasing. Understanding the need for personalized marketing, many builders are capitalizing on the similarities but still maintaining and supporting individual brands. The executives of Groupe Beneteau for example, know that two of their models can share 80 percent of the same design elements and equipment but the differentiation, and the customer’s focus, comes in the last 20 percent of the overall build, and the models can be marketed as two completely different boats. Consolidation can spell trouble for the consumer, but fear not. There are still many builders and hundreds of models on the market, so it’s unlikely that consolidation will lead to a monopoly or even fewer real choices for the boater. More than two dozen common themes are explored here, grouped into six major categories. Does that mean boaters are getting squeezed into a mold, or does it mean our tastes and preferences are creating the convergence? Does it matter? Overall, boats are getting better, easier to use and much more comfortable, not to mention that many of them have more designer touches than my house. We’ve gained a lot over the past decade — let the evolution continue.

SAN JUAN ISLANDS GEMS
THERE IS PLENTY OF SUNSHINE IN THIS PARADISE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP
PARADISE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST is known as the San Juan Islands. Consisting of 172 islands, the area is home to spectacular scenery, wildlife and history. If that isn’t enough, the islands lie in the Olympic Mountain rain shadow, resulting in less than half the rain Seattle gets and an average of 247 days of sunshine a year. From April through September, approximately 90 orca whales make their home in the water surrounding the San Juans. The three main islands are San Juan, Orcas and Lopez.
1 SAN JUAN ISLAND San Juan Island is the most diverse of the three, combining rocky shores and sandy beaches, prairie and pastureland, lakes and forest. On the east side of the island is the town of Friday Harbor, a quaint seaport of parks, restaurants, shops and galleries. This historic seaport in the Salish Sea is
preserved by its maritime history. There are no traffic lights. The seaport is bustling with visitors, who can enjoy walking tours and visiting the plethora of art galleries, the whale museum, boutiques, and seaside restaurants and pubs. On the northwest side of the island is another port of entry known as Roche Harbor. Listed on the National Register
of Historic Sites, it’s approximately 10 miles from Friday Harbor and will take you back in time to a quiet, relaxed pace as you stroll through the beautiful Victorian gardens and enjoy the ambiance of the historical buildings while watching some of the most spectacular sunsets in the Pacific Northwest. Roche Harbor is also a U.S. Customs Port of Entry for boaters wanting to cruise to and from Canada, which is less than five miles away. Roche Harbor has an airstrip, a marina, lodging, a grocery store, restaurants, a sculpture park, shopping, hiking trails and other activities.
Where to Dock Port of Friday Harbor Marina is located in the center of the island on the eastern shore. The 500-slip, full-service marina is within easy walking distance to town. SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2017

What to Do In Friday Harbor the Whale Museum is a great place to learn more about orca whales and other whale species, along with porpoises, sea lions, seals, river otters and more than 250 species of birds, including bald eagles and other raptors. Listed on the National Register of Historical Sites, the Roche Harbor Hotel de Haro, built in 1886, has many rooms appointed with original antique pieces and offers the traveler an opportunity to step back in time and enjoy country ambiance and Old World charm. One of President Theodore Roosevelt’s favorite vacation spots, Roche Harbor continues to welcome visitors with its charm and sense of history.
2 ORCAS ISLAND Orcas Island is considered to be the most spectacular of the San Juan Islands, and with more than 36,000 acres it is the largest. The horseshoe-shaped island is a magical mix of lush forest, rolling farmland, placid lakes and stunning mountains, making it a favorite for generations of visitors from all over the world. The population is widely spread out, adding to the feeling of peace and tranquility.
When visiting Friday Harbor (top), be sure to visit a local institution, Herb’s Grill (middle). In Roche Harbor, Hotel de Haro (bottom) is a historical place to stay.
There are 150 guest slips able for boats of all sizes. The southern breakwaters are reserved for vessels over 45 feet in length. Roche Harbor Marina has been a popular boating destination for many years and accommodates vessels up to 160 feet. With 377, slips it’s a favorite location of many traveling dignitaries and has been featured in many movies and travel shows. The marina features the full-service Afterglow Spa offering treatments soothing to the soul, and body. Relax with a massage, or indulge in one of the many signature body treatments.
Where to Eat One of our favorites is a Friday Harbor institution. Herb’s Grill — the oldest tavern in town — provides a smoke-free environment. It has a comfortable beach bar feel with a ceiling decorated with orange life rings and inflatable beer paraphernalia. The menu includes such scrumptious items as the Hippie Burger, the Cow-Dipper and the Pile-O-Fries. Rocky Bay Café, another
Where to Dock
favorite in town, has a great selection of American breakfast and lunch favorites, but note that it closes early, at 2 p.m. The Roche Harbor village offers several dining options, including McMillin’s Dining Room for fine dining at its best, overlooking the beautiful harbor and sunset. You can enjoy colorful cuisine at the Madrona Grill in the gazebo or on the waterfront deck. For family oriented dining, Lime Kiln Café will serve up a hearty breakfast and a number of lunch options.
Deer Harbor Marina is a charming marina located in the heart of the San Juan Islands. The full-service facility offers numerous amenities and attractions that make it a major boating destination for both large and small vessels. Rosario Resort & Spa is located in beautiful Cascade Bay halfway up East Sound’s eastern shore. This historic resort and marina was originally Robert Moran’s estate and offers guest slips and mooring buoys. Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the resort features the 54-room Moran Mansion, a museum and restaurants. Original decorations and period construction including Tiffany accents contribute to its elegant ambiance.
Where to Eat Dinner at the Deer Harbor Inn has been an island tradition since the 1920s. Begin the dining experience with homemade bread and soup or a salad with the special

5,252-acre park with five freshwater lakes and more than 30 miles of hiking trails. Atop 2,409-foot-high Mt. Constitution, the highest point in the San Juan Islands, there stands a stone observation tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. The tower provides panoramic views of the surrounding islands, the Cascade Mountains and Canada.
A 15-minute stroll to Lopez Village will bring you to Holly B’s Bakery, a small bakery celebrating 40 years of love and butter. Just up the street is the Bay Café, serving American fare for lunch and dinner while overoverlooking the entrance of the Fisherman Bay and awesome sunsets.
What to Do Take advantage of the Islander’s outdoor pool, which offers a view of the bay, and the spa and wellness center. Rent a bicycle from Lopez Bicycle Works and explore the island, or visit the Lopez Historical Museum.

QUICK ESCAPE
STROLL THROUGH BAINBRIDGE BAINBRIDGE ISLAND IS A HISTORICAL PLACE RICH IN CULTURE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP
WHEN CRUISING CENTRAL PUGET SOUND, a must stop for us is Eagle Harbor and the city of Bainbridge Island, only six miles from the Seattle downtown waterfront. For Arlene and me, Bainbridge’s attraction is its convenient location on the north shore of Eagle Harbor, its successful blend of Pacific Northwest heritage with a casual, artistic sensibility and its overall beauty.
DOWNTOWN A walk through downtown unveils the unique and easy character of the island, from boutique stores to local wines, outstanding restaurants and cafes to independent bookstores. Add a scenic waterfront walk, and it makes for a pleasant visit. Winslow Way, the island’s original main street, is just three city blocks up the hill from the waterfront and features a unique shopping experience that includes comfortable coffee shops, clothing boutiques, bakeries, specialty shops and outdoor gear.
Fine art and antiques, funky collectibles, and original works from local and regional artists offer an eclectic array of goods to tantalize both the collector and the curious. Main Street has changed with the times but is still rooted in the past — a pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare that for more than 150 years has served the residents of Eagle Harbor.
WHAT’S IN A NAME The island became one city in 1991 when
the city of Winslow annexed the rest of the island. Also in 1991, residents voted to change the city’s name to Bainbridge Island.
GOOD EATS Start the morning at Blackbird Bakery 1 for coffee and pastry. When confronted
by Blackbird’s pastry case, making a decision is no small matter. For lunch it’s Hitchcock Deli 2 , one of the best delis in the Northwest. The menu includes house-made charcuterie that can even make a vegan salivate. Try a sandwich made with the charcuteries, such as the Cuban or the Laziio (both starring Hitchcock’s own porchetta) or the Martino (with house-made sweet Italian sausage). When it’s time for dinner, two headliners serve up their own style of Northwest cuisine. Hitchcock 3 (a separate restaurant next to the deli) transforms farmed, foraged and fished ingredients into eyeand palate-pleasing dishes in a casual

Boaters need to exercise caution when approaching and entering Eagle Harbor and allow the captain to practice his navigation skills. Long Tyee Shoal extends off Wing Point and crosses the largest portion of the harbor mouth, so careful charting is essential here. Once inside the shoal, skippers can follow navigation aids into the harbor, while keeping a keen eye on Washington state ferries that are arriving and departing.

Eagle Harbor offers a choice of three moorages. The Waterfront Park Municipal Dock 5 , with no water or 4 power, is the first moorage inbound boaters W. TOWER AVE encounter to starboard, but it can get crowded during the height of the season. Harbor Marina offers mooring as available. For our visits, we stay at the Winslow Wharf Marina 6 , just west of Waterfront Park, which does not have any designated guest moorage, but the harbormaster will assign empty permanent moorage to visitors. Reservations are recommended. The marina offers power, water, clean restrooms with showers, laundry and Wi-Fi.

Man Overboard Recovery Procedure
Great Scot served as a reliable rescue platform when called upon.
FEATUR E
LUCKY AND GOOD
SOMETIMES, PREPARATION IS NOT ALL YOU NEED. LUCK CAN PLAY A BIG PART IN A RESCUE. BY JOHN AND SALLY MACDONALD
THERE’S AN OLD SAYING: IF you’re ready for an emergency, one won’t come along. With that in mind, when we bought our Newport 28 sailboat one of the first accessories we added was a Lifesling. Developed by the Seattle Sailing Foundation, it’s recognized as one of the best systems to get a person who has fallen off a boat back on board. We practiced using it in ideal conditions — even using the block-and-tackle system that allows one person, no matter his size, to lift an unconscious or injured person back onto the boat. Each time Great Scot left its Shilshole Bay Marina slip, we moved the Lifesling package from our salon to the stern rail, where it lived for the duration of our cruise, handy and ready for action. More than 25 years passed, and no emergency. Perhaps the old saying was true — until a recent summer, when we discovered that, while preparation is vital when facing an emergency, there’s something even more important.
THE LEAD-UP After two weeks of gunkholing in Washington’s San Juan Islands and British Columbia’s Gulf Islands, we were summoned home on a family emergency. PNW-12
After negotiating Deception Pass at the north end of Whidbey Island and spending the night in Coronet Bay, we motored south under a sunny sky and through smooth Skagit Bay water. As we passed Rocky Point on the northwest tip of Camano Island and entered Saratoga Passage, a brisk southerly breeze built to 15 knots on our nose and the oncoming waves were 1 to 2 feet. Sally, at the tiller, dodged and weaved the building waves as windblown spray climbed our bow and slammed into our dodger. I kept watch on the port side, to avoid the scores of colorful crab-pot markers that dotted the water along the west shore of Camano Island. Then a red-orange flash of color caught my eye off our starboard. It was in the middle of the passage a hundred or more yards away. A crab pot must have come loose and floated away. A minute or so
U.S. Sailing has a nice MOB recovery procedure page on its website (ussailing. org). We’ve condensed it here. Although we should keep in mind that every situation is different, man overboard procedures are often broken down into the following areas: • Initial Reaction on Board • Safety Turning the Boat Around and Returning to the Victim • Approaching and Recovering the Victim
Initial Reaction on Board The first priority is to provide the victim with additional flotation to increase his odds of surviving until the boat returns. Other high-priority steps include: • Save a GPS location to facilitate returning to the scene. • Call for help. • Position the crew to turn the boat around. • Immediately turn the boat into the wind, if appropriate for your boat and conditions
Safely Turning the Boat Around and Returning to the Victim The bottom line of turning the boat around is that it must be done as swiftly as practical (time is the enemy of the victim in the water) and must be done safely so that the crew can efficiently shift into recovery mode.
Approaching and Recovering the Victim The priorities in this stage of the procedure are: • Find the victim. • Approach carefully and at a controllable speed. • Make contact with the victim — a connection, not actual contact. • Retrieve the victim. • Apply appropriate care.

later, the color was still there, but there was something else, too. Spray on my binoculars prevented a clear view. We changed course to have a look. Soon two kayaks came into view, slipping in and out of sight behind the building waves. One kayak carried a paddler. The other was overturned and a man in a bright orange life vest was trying to right it and climb back aboard, but with little luck.
THE RESCUE As we neared the pair, I threw the flotation collar of our Lifesling and shouted for the man in the water to grab the red-andwhite floating line as we circled him. “Hang in there,” we shouted at the other kayaker. “Once we get your friend, we’ll come for you.” The man in the water grabbed the line and slipped the collar around his back and under his arms, and we began to pull him in. “You OK?” We shouted as he came near. “Yeah, I think so,” the young man said in a gasping voice. As he came alongside, I tied the line to a cleat to secure him to our boat and began to prepare the pulley system to bring him aboard. “Maybe we don’t need that,” Sally said. “How about using the wave action to pull him on.” It worked. As a wave lifted the young
PNW-14
man higher against our hull, we grabbed his life vest and pulled him aboard, one leg at a time. His clear answers to a few questions told us he was cold and wet but apparently OK. His age, about 19, and his good physical condition likely didn’t hurt. Meanwhile, two people in another sailboat that had suddenly appeared corralled the overturned kayak and were taking the other kayaker onto their boat. Our new young friend told us he and his family had rented a house on Camano’s west shore and he and his uncle had gone out for a paddle. “We had no idea the weather would change so fast,” he said. “We’ve never done this before. By the time we noticed the waves, we were in the middle and just trying to stay upright. Then a wave hit me and I was over.” He guessed he’d been in the water about 15 minutes. “I tried to get back in (the kayak), but I couldn’t. Sure glad you came along.” We motored toward shore, looking for a place to get the guys to the beach, but there was no dock and the wind and waves were still fierce. A man on the beach must have seen what was going on. He shoved a small rowboat into the water and fought the waves to get to us. Once the bobbing craft was at our stern, our new passenger scrambled in and shoved away. Meanwhile, the other sailboat was able to help the uncle into one of the kayaks, and
he paddled for the beach. “Hey, guys, thanks,” the young man hollered, his voice weakening and his hands gripping the rails of the dinghy.
THE DEBRIEF We didn’t even learn the lad’s name, only that he was a freshman at Washington State University. We turned Great Scot back into the channel and waved to the other sailboat crew. And then it hit us. We looked all around. The wind was still snipping the tops off the waves and sending the mist to join the low-hanging clouds. We two boats were alone. What might have happened had we not seen that flash of color in the middle of the channel and been curious enough to take a look? The folks in the other sailboat said they hadn’t seen the kayakers. They only came by when they saw us changing course and thought we were in trouble. And if we hadn’t shown up, what’s the chance that our student friend may not have survived the 50-degree water. We trust he’s OK and will watch the weather a bit more closely the next time he decides to take a leisurely paddle in Puget Sound, even in August. Did the Lifesling save the day? Perhaps not entirely. But with it we were ready. What we couldn’t have planned for was the luck that put us in the right place at the right time. And we’ll take that anytime.

AT LEISURE
SMALL BUT WELL LOCATED, MARINA DEL REY IS A BOATING HUB. MARINA DEL REY IS A tiny oasis for watersports enthusiasts, tourists and business travelers just four miles north of LAX. From a boating standpoint, there is much to do in this square mile of unincorporated area — more than 6,000 recreational boat slips and the highest density of restaurant seating in a one-square-mile area outside of New York City.
WHERE TO MOOR The harbor is definitely the dominant feature of the city, and it’s the world’s largest man-made small-craft harbor, with
eight basins emptying out and joining with Ballona Creek. Guest docks and pumpout are available at the main channel between basins G and H. Head over to Burton
Chace Park 1 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily to moor. Also, there are four-hour guest docks available, free of charge, on a first-come, first-served basis — registration is not required. Free pumpout is available to any boater, with 20 minutes of free tie-up to use the facilities. To tie up overnight, visit the Park Office to register and pay the slip fee, which is $1.15/foot per night (at press time). A fuel dock is on the west side of the main channel, right at the entrance to A basin 2 . To see some sights around the marina, check out The Free Ride. Simply wave down a Free Ride vehicle or text your pickup location and passenger count to (323) 435-5000 and wait 10 to 15 minutes for a pickup. The service covers all of Marina del Rey and also will go to nearby Venice Pier and Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice. To stay on the water within SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2017

LEADBETTER BEACH, SANTA BARBARA, CALIF On-the-water activities and dining establishments abound in Marina del Rey.
Whiskey Reds and El Torito. There are many posh New American and seafood restaurants tucked away in the resorts around the area, and many of them have boater/dock entrances. For boaters on a bit of a budget, there is a list of some great happy hour deals (most of them for weekday afternoons) on the Marina del Rey website, so if you happen to be parched after a long day of boating, check out one of the listings. Most of these restaurants offer front row seats to watch the sunset.
MOTHERS BEACH Although there are several ‘Mothers’ Beaches in California, the one in Marina del Rey might have the most amenities. This beach is referred to as Mothers Beach 8 because there is a roped-off swimming and wading area, and the water is calm and waveless because it’s in a marina. There are picnic tables and barbecues available, as well as a bike path, a boat launch, volleyball courts and a parking lot.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS Running alongside where the harbor CA-4
meets the Ballona Wetlands is the Ballona Estuary, where urban spread eases up into a 600-acre natural preserve on the edge of Los Angeles. Docent tours are available, and a public walking trail allows visitors to enjoy the scenery up close and personal. Take the fast lane and bike down the Ballona Creek Bike Path 9 , which connects to another path that goes all the way to Redondo Beach, a safe alternative to enjoy the South Bay’s beaches without worrying about traffic. On Saturdays, a Farmer’s Market runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the corner of Panay Way and Via Marina.

JUST BELOW LEADBETTER HILL IN Santa Barbara sits a beautiful beach that was actually created by accident. After the Santa Barbara Harbor breakwater was built in 1930, the area directly west of the harbor filled with sand, creating Leadbetter Beach. This popular beach is known for its small surf and consistent winds, making it a great place for beginners to practice surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing. This is the most popular beach in Santa Barbara, so if your cruise takes you to Santa Barbara, check it out.
You can easily access this beach from
Santa Barbara City College and the Santa Barbara Marina. The original beachfront is where the current SBCC football field is located.
There are a lot of picnic areas available
with barbecues, but be warned this is a very popular beach, so during summer months it will fill up quickly.
Rent a standup paddleboard at the
nearby Paddle Sports Center (paddle sportsca.com) so that you can enjoy the beautiful calm waves up close and personal.
Eat and drink right on the beach at
Shoreline Café (shorlinebeachcafe.com). Check the website for happy hour libations and appetizers and an array of pub items and fresh seafood.

MEET ROBERT LEBSACK & KIMBERLY F. DAVIS PROPRIETORS OF CHANCE ARTWORKS
CHANCE ARTWORKS (CHANCEARTWORKS.COM) IS A dynamic duo of artists, Robert Lebsack and Kimberly F. Davis. Based in Long Beach, Calif., both Lebsack and Davis have exhibited their fine art in numerous solo and group art exhibitions throughout California. Their artwork and photographs are inspired by and capture the wonderment and whimsy of the sea. They say it expresses a great appreciation for a community whose culture and industry earned it the designation of the “Aquatic Capital of America” in 2008. When touring around Long Beach, it is likely you will pass a marine-inspired mural or public art piece created by the artists at Chance. trouble because I was doing it for free — so I started charging.
Chance Artworks is a collaboration between artists Kimberly F. Davis (left) and Robert Lebsack (right). Their art can be seen in galleries and on traffic control boxes around Long Beach.
Sea: How did you get your start as artists? KFD: As I was studying art and graphic design at Cal State Long Beach, I took a photography class. It was there that I discovered it was my favorite form of personal creative expression. This was before digital. I loved shooting black-andwhite film, but once I took a color photography class I fell in love with color slide film. This is when I started experimenting with long exposure color photography, which is what I mostly shoot now, although with a digital camera. RL: I began drawing when I was 9 or 10 years old. In high school, other kids would ask me to do the illustrations for their design projects in a class called “technology” where we did screenprinting and made business cards, flyers, etc. The teacher caught me and said I was only in CA-6
A lot of your art is inspired by the sea. Do you have any marine background? RL: I love boating and being out on the water, diving and paddleboarding. KFD: I was lucky enough to grow up near the ocean, in Huntington Beach, and have had friends who have boats and personal watercraft, so I grew up sailing, waterskiing and riding PWCs throughout California. I still love being out on the water and living near the ocean.
SEA-HA
Why are people so drawn to marineinspired art? RL: Most people aren’t that exposed to the ocean on a daily basis. I think the idea of a whole other world existing just beneath the surface that’s exploding with life really activates people’s imagination. What historical ship/person/event would you most like to have seen or met and been able to paint? RL & KFD: We love the history surrounding the Queen Mary, especially the World War II stories. We’ve explored it all over and would have loved to have been a passenger steaming across the open ocean taking photos and doing drawings the whole journey.
RL: I find that water is interesting because of its transformational properties and its relationship to people. The nature of water is to flow, but it can also penetrate and shape the hardest surfaces. Since we’re made mostly of water, and the majority of the earth is covered in water, I think that we are a kind of an extension of the sea.
Tell us more about the recurring boat and water elements in your artwork and photography and its significance.
Can you talk about the artwork on the traffic control boxes you created for the city of Long Beach? What were its requests

when you were commissioned? RL: The city commissioned six boxes on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore. I was asked to come up with original concepts that would fit in well with the beach community and would be good for people of all ages. It needed to be tailored to people who may not necessarily be interested in fine art. I did four boxes dedicated to the culture and history of the city, and for the other two, I decided to do some sealife mixed with fantasy, having the animals soaring through the air like they are in a sea of clouds and interacting with their human counterparts, whimsically portraying unity and the interconnected nature of humans, the sea and its creatures. For the one on Anaheim and Pacific, I decided to do a wildlife-themed box. I wanted to use animals that are visually striking. I picked one of my favorite animals, the sea turtle, along with one of the most fascinating life forms in the ocean, the jellyfish. For the series of photos of Port of Long Beach, the photos were taken while I was on Port of Long Beach’s Harbor Boat Tour. We had heard about the boat tour from our friend who works at the port. Our aim was to capture images from a perspective outside of how most people see the port area. As the sun sets, rich textures and colors activate on the rough surfaces of the weathered hulls of the ships. The natural light fades and powerful artificial lights begin to dance on the dark water. Beauty emerges from the banal.

NEWPORT BOAT SHOW XLIV THE ANNUAL SOCAL BOAT SHOW IS BACK AT ITS IMPROVED LONGSTANDING LOCATION.
FOR THE 44TH YEAR IN a row, the Newport Boat Show will bring the best boats to Southern California’s backyard playground, Lido Marina Village. And while the show will offer the boats, gear, engines and accessories attendees have come to expect over the course of four and a half decades, its host location, after more than two years of renovations, is better than ever, with new boutiques and eateries.
THE BIG SHOW Rain or shine the Newport Boat Show always brings thousands of boaters and boaters-to-be to Lido Marina to see all the newest and best brokerage boats. This is the West Coast’s largest in-water boat show, with more than 200 boats on display, so attendees can spend the day touring some of the finest yachts in the world. The whole spectrum is here: Beneteau, Grand Banks, McKinna, Tiara, Cruisers, Carver, Ranger, Nordhavn, Prestige, Maritimo, Riviera, Hampton, Johnson and many more. Vessel sizes range from 25 feet to upwards of 90 feet, including coastal and long-distance cruisers, dayboats, center consoles, sportfishers, trawlers, catamarans, DEALER INQUIRY INVITED pilothouses and other styles. We know several
brokers will have brand new models in the show, with features sure to please any boater. Some of the more interesting features we’ve seen recently on new boats are gigantic sunroofs, joystick systems that don’t require pod drives, interior/ exterior glass bulkheads that disappear completely, bows that are being turned into social spaces instead of just sunpads, and hydraulic swim platforms. In addition, marine electronics seem to be advancing by leaps and bounds. Multifunction displays are taking on the characteristics of a central command station, with the ability to interface with nearly every system on board. Digital switching is being found on more boats, making it possible to shut down and turn on systems from the helm, without going to a panel. Heck, owners can turn lights, generators, bilge pumps and more on and off using their smartphone — from home. The pace of innovation is remarkable. If you haven’t been to a show or checked out a new boat in a few years, now might be the time.

BOAT SHOW STATS
44rd Annual Newport Boat Show > When: April 27-30, 2017 > Where: Lido Marina Village, Newport Beach > Hours: Thursday: Noon – 7 p.m. Friday: 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. Saturday: 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. Sunday: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Sailboat aficionados will find plenty to gawk at during the Newport Boat Show, too, as dealers of brands including Leopard, Beneteau, Catalina, Hunter, Hanse and more take their place on the docks. Just look for the flags scaling the masts. Mixed among the boat displays and on land are many more booths featuring yacht bedding, engines, insurance, financing, boat slips, dinghies, towing services and much more. Off-site parking is free and convenient, with free shuttle service. The show hours are extensive, to accommodate everyone, but it doesn’t go on 24/7, so attendees have time to explore Newport Harbor and the surrounding communities.
LIDO MARINA VILLAGE The marina and surrounding village

have been given a luxurious facelift, ushering in a new generation of shops and eateries. The cobblestone street has been improved, as have the restrooms, which needed a redo. All of the buildings received a touchup, and most of the tenants are new. A lot of trendy restaurants and boutique apparel stores have found a home in the village, so stick around after the show to have a gourmet bite and enjoy the salt air and marina views. Here’s a taste of what visitors will find in the new Lido Village: • Alchemy Works Harbor House has opened its second location (the first being in the L.A. Arts District), a gallery/lifestyle store/gathering space. • Bailey44 has contemporary women’s clothing designed in Los Angeles. • Black Optical is a progressive
eyewear brand. • Charlie & Me is a hip dog boutique, for Orange County’s stylish pups and their chic owners. • Clare V. is a boutique of handbags by Clare Vivier, who’s signature line blends classic shapes with modern details. • Faherty is a clothing line inspired by the beach lifestyle, often seen on celebrities out and about. • Aesop is the premiere luxury skincare brand, including hair, skin and body care products. • Zinque offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner options with a European vibe.
BALBOA ISLAND For some classic seaside fun, visit sleepy Balboa Island, which is a stone’s throw away from the boat show. Visit the Balboa Fun Zone for some old-timey arcade fun, or ride the iconic Balboa Ferris Wheel. Walk down Marine Avenue, the main drag of Balboa Island, to get a taste of sweet treats — try the Balboa Bar or a frozen banana! — and more shopping and eateries.
BEACH VIBES Wherever you end up around Newport Bay, one thing is for sure—the boating lifestyle is everywhere you look, as you embrace the laid back culture and lifestyle by the water and ponder your next boating trip.

APRIL’S QUESTION:
What new owner-friendly features or advancements have you seen in the last few years that someone new to boat buying or who has been out of boating for a while will be most surprised and pleased by? The number one advancement has been the pods. So many of the new boats are driven by the pods now and involve joystick operation, both on smaller boats with the MerCruiser Axius system as well as Volvo’s version and on bigger ones with the true IPS or Zeus pod systems. I think that’s the single biggest advancement that would benefit buyers of new boats, the integrated propulsion systems that are out there now. Ease of operation of the boat is another advancement. A lot of the premium builders
Will MacIntyre Emerald Pacific Yachts, San Diego emeraldpacificyachts.com (619) 497-2993; will@epyachts.com 38
have gone to electronic switching gear as opposed to having the traditional breaker panels. C-Zone is a brand that is very effective and people love it, because you have touchscreen panels with modes on them that allow you to touch one button and have the whole boat set up in cruising mode, but at the end of the day when it’s time to leave the boat, you can touch one button and every system that needs to be left on is left on and every system that needs to turn off is turned off. That’s been huge for buyers; people love that feature. Even from home people can operate systems on their boat. That’s been a game-changer for a lot of people, who may not have the fullest understanding of every system. The advent of touchscreen electronics and the integration of engine instrumentation into the touchscreens is huge. You used to have five brands of electronics on the dash and a complete array of engine instrumentation; nowadays you have two or
three large MFDs that will show everything from maps to radar to the fishfinder, and additionally they show the engine management system, which includes fuel curve, burn rate and more. An owner can plot a course to Catalina and know they have the fuel to get there. Another thing I would say is the steering and controls on boats have gone from cable and hydraulic to electronic. Your shifters, throttles and the steering itself are all done electronically. You’re no longer servicing hydraulic systems. You’re not replacing cables. You’re not replacing worn parts. Owners are benefiting from the advent of the complete fly-by-wire system. One more item is the advent of gyro stabilizer systems. They are an absolute major benefit to new boats. They basically eliminate getting seasick, and they’re available now on smaller boats. I’m sitting on a 43-foot Riviera right now, and it has a gyro. That would have been unheard of a few years ago.
