Editor and Publisher • Duncan McIntosh Jr. Associate Editor and Publisher • Jeff Fleming

THE CONCEPT OF pocket cruisers is not a

new one, and while the definition of “pocket cruiser” may have changed over the years and is still fluid — Is there a hard and fast upper length? — such boats have been around for decades, both in sail and power versions. Versions from the likes of Hunt, North Pacific, Nordic Tug, SeaSport, Aspen and others have been evolving through the years to include more amenities and to take advantage of the latest technology. One piece of technology the builders have embraced more recently: outboard motors. As outboards have increased in horsepower — 627 hp! — and decreased in decibels, they have become a viable option for a wider variety of boats, and pocket cruiser builders have noticed. Ranger Tugs and Cutwater Boats are two West Coast builders that have gone the outboard route, which has opened up more room for storage and fishing amenities under the cockpit sole. I saw the latest line from the latest builder to embrace outboards at an event in Maryland in June. Jeanneau introduced its NC and Leader outboard lines, of which the NC (short for New Concept) line features the pocket cruisers, from about 24 feet to just shy of 30 feet. Stowable and moveable cockpit furniture make the NC models — 795, 855, 895 — versatile as family cruisers and fishing boats, and platformettes to either side of the outboard(s) ensure easy boarding from the dock or from the water. With two staterooms in the larger two models and convertible dinettes, these boats can accommodate a family, and the designers didn’t waste an inch when it came to placing amenities. The beam on the NCs stays short of 10 feet, so the boats are trailerable, for mobile and varied cruising. Our cruising feature this month, an interview with Jim and Lisa Favors, centers on pocket cruisers. The Favors owned a Ranger Tugs R-27 and took it all over the country. They are scheduled to pick up their new Ranger, an R-29 (not an outboard), this month and begin an all-new adventure on the road and on the water. We talked to the Favors about their choice to go trailerable (or pocket), their experience on the road and their advice for folks thinking about making the move. In addition, they gave us some incredible photos, taken in places they wouldn’t have gone if they’d kept their 40-plus-foot boat. It’s not for everyone, as Jim and Lisa point out, but judging by the number of smaller cruisers on the water these days, it’s for a lot of people. Inboard or outboard, trailerable pocket cruisers comprise a niche that’s on the road to increased popularity.

CARVER VACUUM INFUSION TECHNOLOGY MEANS LESS WEIGHT, MORE STRENGTH, AND BETTER PERFORMANCE. The key to great performance and better fuel economy is a lighter boat. But we don’t sacriﬁce strength for performance. To keep our boats lighter and stronger, Carver uses a unique vacuum infused resin technology that draws in a precise amount of resin to saturate the ﬁberglass laminate rather than “over wetting” like other processes can do.

This state-of-the-art technology eliminates voids and excess ﬁberglass and resin build-up making the part both lighter and stronger. That’s why we use this technology in the formation of our hulls and most other component parts. Add it all up, and we eliminate hundreds of pounds of excess weight with a yacht that’s stronger and ready to take on the sea. No wonder Carver is taking the marine industry by storm. Sea trial one at your Carver Yachts dealer soon.

Advanced technology, combined with traditional craftsmanship, is the hallmark of every Carver Yacht. Vacuum resin infusion provides a stronger, yet lighter hull for higher speeds and greater fuel economy.

LEAD BOAT DYNAMIQ GTT 115

…SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY Luxury automaker Porsche deepens its involvement in yacht design through a collaboration with six-year-old builder Dynamiq Yachts. DRIVING ONE’S PORSCHE INTO THE

water is a surefire way to destroy a luxury automobile, but seven lucky people will get the opportunity to operate a superyacht with Porsche DNA embedded throughout its 115-foot hull. Monaco-based yacht builder Dynamiq is in the process of building the first yacht in its Gran Turismo Transatlantic line, the GTT 115, at its shipyard in Viareggio, Italy. The all-aluminum hull was designed by Vripack, but the exterior design was handled by Studio F.A. Porsche, the renowned carmaker’s design house, which engages in a wide variety of projects, from sunglasses and watches to high-end furniture and yachts. The obvious Porsche elements include “Targa-style mullions” and transom lines that come from the futuristic Mission E concept. Owners — there will only be seven, as that is all the GTT 115s Dynamiq plans to build — can order their yacht in Carrara White, Rhodium Silver, Chalk or Monte Carlo Blue, which are all Porsche exterior colors. The bow is plumb and somewhat axe-like, to cleave through the water, and a combination of Humphree fins and interceptor tabs, four each, provide stabilization. Top speed is predicted to be 21 knots thanks to twin 1,650 hp MAN V-12 diesels attached to Fortjes pods. A hybrid system is an option. Three- and four-cabin layouts are available; the master is full beam either way. The interior, also designed by Studio F.A. Porsche, is as elegant as one would expect: silk, bamboo and wool carpets; marble counters and walls; cashmere pillows; and Pepita houndstooth-pattern exterior cushions like one would find in the 911R. The $13.2 million yacht, the first of which is expected to splash this fall, has far too many features and options to cover here — a flybridge that’s 54 feet long, a karaoke system, a Sundeck cinema and disco package, a small pool — but the Porsche DNA and the exclusivity of only seven being built are sure to attract high-end buyers with a flair for automobile design.

Primitive GPS BOATERS WHO SPEND TIME CRUISING around British Columbia might have spotted rocks that have been formed into a cairn — a human-made pile or stack of rocks. These cairns, or inukshuks, were erected by the native peoples as landmarks for travel routes, to mark food caches and as points of reference. Cairns are known to have been used by the native peoples of the Arctic region of North America, from Alaska to Greenland.

Cooler Commute FIFTEEN COMMUTERS IN BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, experienced a unique treat on their

way to work May 17. Instead of riding the CityCat ferry across the Brisbane River, they took a ride on a brand new Maritimo M59 motoryacht, which was making the rounds prior to its debut at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show the following week. No word on whether any of those commuters subsequently called in sick with a case of the “boat flu” so they could keep cruising.

Navigating the waters of the Salish Sea can be interesting, especially during the summer when boat traffic is heaviest and with all the ferries zipping about. It’s always handy to keep the most common whistle signals in mind. Knowing them might alleviate an uncomfortable encounter with a 400-ton ferry: ••••• One short blast: “I am altering course to starboard”

••••• Three short blasts: “I am operating astern propulsion” ••••• Five or more short blasts: “Danger!” or “Failure to understand intentions”

EASIER TO HANDLE.

MEXICOREPORT BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

VEN EXPERIENCED cruisers are sometimes

surprised by the differences between cruising around in the U.S. and cruising in Mexico.

HABLA ENGLISH? The language barrier is not nearly as significant as it was when I began cruising Mexico in the 1980s. Now American boaters can hop between more than 40 full-service marinas on the Pacific coasts, where English proficiency is a job requirement for staffers working with the public — mainly U.S. recreational boaters (yatistas). About half of the gringo cruisers are studying an excellent little book called “Spanish for Cruisers” by Kathy Parsons, which serves as the course book for many Spanish classes in La Paz and Mazatlan. By the time boaters reach La Paz, they’re no longer shy about speaking whatever Spanish they have acquired. Boaters who pull alongside a fuel dock hardly need to say “Llena lo, por favor” — “Fill it up please.” But to understand a weather report in Spanish, they might want to know 14

IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS

MANY OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CRUISING IN THE U.S AND CRUISING IN MEXICO ARE SUBTLE.

the Spanish terms for wind, rain, storm and fog. And while exploring the smaller ports and cute village anchorages without marinas, a good conversation starter is to ask a few likely looking locals what they’re fishing for, where’s a good snorkeling spot and what’s the best restaurant. Listening to conversations in Spanish on your VHF can be instructional, too. “Yate, no acercase el remolcador!” I was steering a big powerboat north from Turtle Bay when I heard that shout over VHF Channel 16. As I approached the narrow Dewey Channel, everything was suddenly plunged into pea-soup fog, visibility down to zero. I dropped my speed from 10 knots down to a cautious five, then responded on VHF 16 with my boat name, position and my newly lowered speed. I fine tuned my radar, which still showed no other boat traffic. I started to thumb through my Spanish dictionary. But the instant I cleared Punta Eugenia, the traffic appeared on radar less than a mile off my starboard bow. Yikes! Crossing from starboard to port were two good-sized ships in a straight line. Plot

mode on my radar revealed the two ships were actually a big, fast tugboat (10 knots easily) and a barge being towed behind it on a cable. They were crossing from the Guerrero Negro salt ponds out to their terminal on the south end of Cedros Island. If I hadn’t paid attention to my VHF and slowed when I did, I might have tangled with them in the fog. After letting them go first, I cautiously went well behind the second target, the barge being towed, then continued my route north. Later in my dictionary I found “Remolcar,” which means to tow something. Remolcador refers to a tug boat towing something. Good to know in the fog.

METRIC & PESOS

Fuel docks at most of the major marinas can operate with U.S. dollars and gallons, but off the beaten path it’s usually “pesos por litro.” One U.S. gallon equals 3.78541 liters, so 100 U.S. gallons equals 378.541 liters. Use a calculator before ordering fuel. Write the number of liters and the anticipated cost on paper and show it to the fuel-dock operator, so he knows what you’re expecting to pump and pay for. Know the current exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the Mexican peso, not what it was last month. As I write this, $1 buys 18.5 pesos. Banks post the

they can order them pronto. Despite all the nice marinas and haulout yards in the yachtie hangouts, the chandlers in the rest of Mexico focus on parts and gear for local fishing boats, such as three-strand line by the spool, Danforth-type anchors for 22-foot pangas and outboard parts. The kind of chain sold in many places in Mexico may not have been galvanized, or it may not be sized perfectly for the teeth in the windlass. But big commercial ports — La Paz, Mazatlan, Manzanillo — have small shops that will sandblast and galvanize chain that boaters bring to them, unlike most U.S. ports. This may be a practical alternative to driving new chain down from the U.S. South of Ensenada, a common conundrum is finding yacht braid — at least in specific sizes and colors. Of course, Sea readers carry plenty of water-maker filters and membranes, but they probably won’t find actual replacement parts for water-makers, radar systems or navigation electronics, especially if they’re interfaced with the boat’s plotter system. Those parts have to be ordered from the States. Remember, Temporary Import Permits (TIP) let American boaters avoid customs duty when importing parts.

SOCIAL NORMS

current exchange rates, which can change weekly. Expect remote fuel docks to charge a bit more, to compensate for the hefty concession fees they pay to get the fuel to the boat dock. Kilograms (kilos) are used to weigh food. One U.S. pound of oranges, for example, equals 2.20462 kilos. Five kilos of oranges weigh 11.0231 pounds. Some hardware stores may sell scoops of nuts, bolts and nails by the kilo. Most boaters soon get familiar with buying meat by the kilo, such as a six-kilo “lomo de puerco” or pork loin. Distance is measured in kilometers, not miles or nautical miles. One kilo meter is only 0.621371 of a mile. Ten miles equals 16.0934 kilometers. One rough rule of thumb for conversion is to divide the kilometer distance in half and then add 10 percent. Meters, fortunately, are almost interchangeable with yards; one meter is 1.09361 yards. If a Mexican staffer yells “five more” during docking, five meters is close enough to five yards that there shouldn’t be a crunch.

Provisioning at a beach market is fun but less rewarding in the sense of volume and variety, while larger groceries and big-box stores will have plenty of everything.

YACHT PARTS If something exotic breaks, it’s best to be near Ensenada, Los Cabos, La Paz, San Carlos, Guaymas, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo or Acapulco — all have chandlers that stock yachtie-type parts and supplies for boats. If not,

When a group of yatistas greets locals in rural villages or resort ports, it’s slightly impolite not to introduce everyone in the party. Also, boaters from Southern California often pick up “street Spanish” and try to use it in Mexico. The slang and “familiar” tense may earn high-fives from timeshare salesmen in Cabo San Lucas, but in more traditional settings, locals respond better to visitors who speak in the formal tense — at least for a minute. Then it’s OK to lapse into familiarity.

PROVISIONING Grocery shopping is a breeze at big-box stores in resort ports. They have tons of fresh produce, deli fare and frozen items. Taxis line up to drive yatistas back to the marina. But be prepared for a surprising difference ashore in remote villages. The tiny tienda may double as the front room of someone’s home. Shelves have cans and boxes of dry staples. Delicious local fruits, veggies, eggs and dairy products may not have been fully refrigerated. If it’s hot and you’re far from the boat, consider lugging an ice chest and an egg crate. If you find something interesting in a beach tienda, buy it now, because tomorrow it may be sold out. SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017 15

 We don’t know if there has ever been a boat the size of Kismet trailered through Zion National Park before. Going through the park provided us a shortcut of approximately 43 miles in reaching Lake Powell. We didn’t even know if we would be allowed to transit through the tunnel with our height, but we got the go-ahead from the park ranger. We were quite the attraction. Tourists photographed the scenery and Kismet. We stopped partway through Utah’s Zion National Park to take in this panoramic shot off of Mount Carmel Highway. It is one of our favorite trailering photos because it shows some of the challenging and varied terrain one has to negotiate when trailering away from one’s home waters.

Their homeport might be Traverse City, Mich., but Jim and Lisa Favors have achieved honorary Pacific Northwest status for their love of the waters in and around the Salish Sea and for their dedication to PNW boat builder Ranger Tugs. By the time this story makes it to print, the Favors will be taking delivery of their second Ranger, this one an R-29 named Kismet. Their previous Ranger was an R-27 (also named Kismet), and it saw more of the United States than most boats — or people, for that matter — ranging from the PNW to Lake Tahoe to Lake Powell to the Florida Keys. They made a five-year adventure out of the Great Loop aboard a larger boat, but when it was time to reevaluate things, a trailerable cruising boat emerged as their choice, and they haven’t regretted their decision in the least. They chronicle their adventures extensively at TrailerTrawlerLife.com, and they took the time to talk to Sea about their choice to downsize and the rewards they’ve reaped as a result.

Trailerblazing  The Benjamin Islands are one of the premier gunkholing destinations within Ontario’s North Channel. This particular spot off South Benjamin Island is especially appropriate for our shallow-draft Ranger Tug R-27. We were protected on all sides and tied off to boulders from our bow and stern. The Benjamin Islands are popular because they offer not only scenic surroundings but plenty of places to land a dinghy.

 It’s very rewarding when an afternoon hike ends up with a view like the one shown here. Covered Portage Cove is three miles west of Killarney in the North Channel (Ontario, Canada), which many boaters consider to be one of North America’s best summer cruising grounds. The cove is surrounded by tall, white quartz cliffs that offer great protection from the elements.

Sea: What made you decide that a trailerable cruising boat was the way to go? Lisa: Ron and Eva Stob started the Great Loop Cruisers Association in 1995. They wrote a book about it, “Honey, Let’s Get a Boat…” After they did the Loop, they downsized to a small trailerable trawler. I kept that in the back of my mind and thought, Wow, think of all the places they can go because they can drive the boat there. Ever since I saw them doing that it was always in the back of my mind. Jim: Prior to getting a trailerable boat, we lived on a boat for basically five years. We left to do the Great Loop in a 42-foot boat, for a one-year trip — and one year turned into five years and another 40-foot boat. We both came to the same conclusion that after five years maybe it was time to get a house again back in Traverse City. So we bought the house and we downsized to a trailerable boat, because there were places we wanted to return to that we really liked on the Great Loop, but we didn’t want to do the Loop a third time. There were also a lot of places we wanted to explore that we couldn’t get to in a bigger boat. Living in the Great Lakes area, we couldn’t go out to the West Coast with a big boat. Sure, we could go out there and rent a boat or at great expense have a boat shipped there, but it seemed simpler to have a trailerable boat to go wherever we wanted, when we wanted, under our conditions. That’s how we got to the trailerable part of it. It’s more affordable. Less insurance. Less dockage fees. Less maintenance. Obviously, with a trailerable boat you sacrifice a little bit on room, but in our case it’s just the two of us, and we find that the advantages of the trailerable part of it — being able to go where you want when you want — far outweigh concerns about downsizing from a bigger boat. L: We probably wouldn’t live on the trailerable boat full time without a house anymore, but for three or four months at a time, we’re fine with it. We’re outside most of the time anyway. It’s not like we’re on the boat all of the time. We worried about it at first, but it turned out to be a non-issue. We are still out there boating, and we can boat just about like we did before. The boat is easier to handle and quicker to clean. So really it’s a non-issue for us.

You said you had to give up some things. Can you expand on those?

J: Guests. You can do it, but to have guests on the boat overnight, or for any length of time, is kind of impractical. One of the reasons we’re getting a new Ranger Tugs R-29 is because it has more room and will be good for having our grandchildren on board for extended periods to learn about boating.

L: We had a washer and a dryer on our Fathom 40, but we really don’t miss that. Probably didn’t need it on that boat. It only washed really small loads, and almost every marina has laundry facilities. Really the only thing for me was a couch, something comfortable to sit on. We ended up using our V-berth, putting a bunch of pillows up in the bow to make a comfortable seating area during the day where we could stretch out. Other than that it’s just the dinette with the angular seats, so the pillows solved that problem for us. J: You have less storage, less ability for comfort, but again, the plusses outweigh all that in the long run, as far as we’re concerned. With a trailerable boat, you can do anything you can on a 40- or 50-foot boat, except for accommodating guests in a spacious manner. You can go to a marina, you can anchor out. Maybe during some of the transits, you have to be a little more diligent about when you go.

 We are anchored for the day in Jewfish Basin on Florida Bay en route to Marathon, Fla. This colorful and tranquil setting less than 10 miles north of Key West provides shelter on three sides and offers an unobstructed view out into the Gulf of Mexico. A dinghy ride around the mangroves during our stay delivered countless stingrays — a unique thrill to be able to see them in their natural habitat.

Tell us a little about life on the road.

L: Jim’s always wanted an RV at some point in our lives, and I’ve always just wanted a boat. So having the trailerable Ranger Tug has satisfied those desires for Jim and me in different ways. When we go out to the PNW, we always stop in Portland, Ore., to see our son and his family, and a couple of times when we were out there — we spent most of the year out there last year cruising — we actually parked the truck, trailer and boat in front of their house in a neighborhood in Portland. We slept on the boat and nobody complained. It makes it really easy for us since they don’t have room in their house for us. When we pull into an RV park, we’re almost always the only boat anyone has seen in the RV park, so we immediately meet people. There’s always curiosity. It’s like a light bulb turns on: “Wow, I can be trailering a boat, use it as an RV and put it in the water.” I think it has made a lot of RV people think about something they’ve never thought about before. J: The “boaterhoming” aspect takes less time and less money. Like Lisa said, we 22 SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017

Trailerblazing

 The Green River is a waterman’s paradise that flows 730 miles from its headwaters in Wyoming to Utah and Colorado. In northeast Utah the Flaming Gorge Dam was built in 1964 and created the Flaming Gorge Reservoir on a 91-mile stretch of the Green River. We launched Kismet 26 miles northwest of the dam to cruise into the cavernous waterway leading to the dam. Here, we navigate around Horseshoe Canyon with 400 feet of tall canyon walls to either side and up to 160 feet of water under our keel.

get to meet people because they’re curious. So curious that oftentimes if you’re around the boat on the outside, not much time goes by before someone stops by and wants to chat. It gives you an opportunity to meet people you wouldn’t meet otherwise from all kinds of diverse backgrounds. The thing that I enjoy about boating — whether a trailerable or a non-trailerable boat — is when you’re on the water or in an RV park with the boat, it doesn’t matter what your social background is, doesn’t matter where you work, doesn’t matter how much money you have, doesn’t matter where you live, you’re just a boater. It’s kind of an even playing field in my mind.

Did you have the vehicle for it, or did you have to choose a vehicle based on the boat you chose?

J: When we did the research on the boats, we were doing research on trucks — Ford, Chevy, GMC, Dodge — and we decided on a GMC three-quarter-ton, made in the U.S. We had the truck built and went to the factory to see the assembly process, which was an exciting experience for us.

How many builders did you look at when you were choosing your boat?

J: We looked at North Pacific, C Dory, Nordic Tug (their 26, which they’re bringing back out). We looked at an Aspen, a Nomad. There are big differences between all those boats. For us, Ranger Tugs had more creature comforts and were trimmed out to what we were used to. Some of the boats are very utilitarian — not the Aspen, not the Nordic Tug, but we ruled those two out because at the time we didn’t want a 10-footwide beam. We didn’t want to deal with the over-theroad restrictions at that particular point in time. L: They all had features that were good, but they lacked some of the must-haves that were on our list. J: Ranger Tugs builds in America, and that was a big thing for us.

Are you seeing more boaters going the trailerable route?

  Launching and retrieving a boat becomes easier with practice, and we have made it more foolproof by creating a checklist of items to do every time we launch. We research ahead of time to find facilities that provide wellmaintained docks and long ramps, like the one shown here on the Willamette River in Portland, Ore.

J: We think trailerable boating is the wave of the future. As people get to our age, they want flexibility and affordability. I think there will be a lot more trailerable boats sold, whether they’re Ranger Tugs or one of the other brands. It’s going to be a continually growing business. [People are going to enjoy] the affordability and the ability to drive across country and stay in a trailer park to sleep in their own bed and prepare meals in their own galley. It costs less than it would to stay in a motel, most of the time. The insurance is less, the fuel is less, the storage is less. When we have the boat at SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017 23

home, we just park it in our driveway. Obviously, when we are planning a trip or in the middle of one, we may have to store the boat, trailer and sometimes the truck someplace — we call it staging. When we were out west last year, we had to store the boat, truck and trailer while we returned home a couple of times, which is no big deal, but you have to plan for that.

How do you address any concerns about having a smaller trailerable cruising boat?

J: Some people we know are doing the Great Loop right now. They were in the panhandle of Florida and had to cross the Gulf of Mexico because there was no more intracoastal waterway. They had to cross from Carabelle to Tarpon Springs, and the weather was bad, and it wasn’t going to change soon. They decided, “Let’s just get the truck and trailer, put the boat on the trailer, haul it down to Tarpon Springs and re-launch it there.” If they hadn’t done that, they would have stayed in Apalachicola for another two or three weeks, because the weather was tremendously bad at the time. So the flexibility of being able to move out of inclement weather is an important benefit with a trailerable boat. L: Staging is another big thing we’ve learned to do and is very important information for all who consider this type of boating. We’ve tried to plan our trips ahead, so we can find a place to store the boat for a future trip. A question we ask ourselves ahead of time is, “Should we bring it back home or store it somewhere to pick up later when we take off next time?” When we came back from the West Coast last year in October, we knew we wanted to store the boat somewhere in a warmer climate, in preparation for our winter trip to Florida. Boating season was over in Michigan. So from out west, we drove it to Ohio and stored it in a farmer’s out-building and drove the truck home for the holidays. After the holidays we drove back to Ohio to pick up the boat on our way to Florida. That way we avoided driving south from Michigan through snow and ice conditions in January.

What are a few of the highlights of your adventures with this boat that maybe you wouldn’t have experienced in a bigger boat?

J: The Pacific Northwest from the San Juans to the Gulf Islands, the Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound and the Broughton Islands; we wouldn’t have done that had we not had a trailerable boat. And we liked it so much that we’ve cruised some of those waters four times now, and we’re going back in August for our fifth experience. Lake Powell in Arizona. The Flaming Gorge in Utah. The Columbia River in Portland and

 As we positioned ourselves to drive through Zion National Park, in southern Utah, we felt lucky to locate an RV campground just outside the park’s entrance. We were surrounded by the Virgin River and a majestic mountain range that took on a powerful golden glow as the sun set. “Boaterhoming,” as we like to call it, gives us the pleasures of both land and water exploration.

Trailerblazing  We had to be there on the right day to catch this photo opportunity in Princess Louisa Inlet. Ribbons of clouds and fog hung over the inlet, reflecting off the calm water, providing us a mirror-like image as we exited the inlet at the end of our stay in Chatterbox Falls, only accessible by boat or float plane.

 We found this perfect small cove to beach anchor in Padre Bay Canyon, located within Lake Powell in Utah. The lake was created when the waters of the Colorado River began to back up upon the completion of the Glen Canyon Dam in 1963. “If you build it they will come” comes to mind as it relates to the boating and recreation paradise that was generated by the damming of the Colorado River.

Lake Tahoe. Those are all places we wouldn’t have gone had we not had a trailerable boat. We’ve been a lot of other places in our Ranger Tug: the inland river systems, the Keys and the North Channel in Ontario, Canada. On our upcoming bucket list for our new Kismet, a Ranger Tugs R-29, is a return visit to the Abaco Islands next winter when we spend the winter in Florida, and revisiting the Trent Severn Waterway in Ontario. Next year we want to explore some areas new to us, such as Cuba and the Rideau Canal in Ontario. The Rideau Canal goes from Ottawa up to Montreal. It’s a bit east of the actual Great Loop route, not really part of the loop, but a number of Loopers do it.

Is a lot of what we’ve discussed applicable to any trailerable cruising boat?

J: Yes. We do like Ranger Tugs; we think very highly of the company and the boat. It really doesn’t matter what brand as long as it fits your needs to explore, dayboat or fish. Some boats are more expensive than Ranger Tugs and some are less expensive. It’s important to pick a vessel that fits your pocketbook and lifestyle. The most important thing is to get out on the water and boat.

midseason maintenance // grid’s rant

Here is a checklist I use to make sure I’ve covered all the major areas of concern:

MIDSEASON PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PERFORM SOME QUICK AND SIMPLE CHECKS FOR A CAREFREE BALANCE OF THE BOATING SEASON. BY DEANE HISLOP

HETHER A BOAT gets used daily, weekly or only on

occasion, it deserves a little midseason TLC. In general, this involves simply eyeballing the various systems and making sure that all are shipshape. Failures are usually the result of incremental problems that can be spotted well before they cause downtime. This is why it’s so important to spend a day inspecting belts, hoses, batteries, plumbing, wiring, filters, accessories, safety equipment, etc., during the season

Battery. All flood-type batteries should be topped off with distilled water. Use a hydrometer to check wet-cell batteries’ condition. Connections need to be tight and free of corrosion. Inspect cables for cracks in the insulation. Belts. Check all belts and ensure they are crack free and have the proper tension. Bilge pump. Make sure the bilge pump(s) is in good working order. Remove any debris that may have accumulated around the base. Also ensure the auto function is working properly. Bilge. Clean it so leaks can be spotted more easily, which keeps oily water from going overboard. Cleaning. Wash and wax the boat. Keep an eye out for loose or missing caulk and bedding compound, loose or missing fasteners, torn cushions, and damaged gelcoat and brightwork. Coolant. Check the level and the hoses in the system. The hoses should be supple and neither spongy nor hard. Make sure all hose clamps are tight and in good condition. Look for discoloration that indicates weeping connections at the hose flanges and around pump impeller covers. Elevated temperature readings could mean a problem with the water pump impeller or the pressure cap, so check them for wear. Diver. Now is a good time to have a diver inspect and clean the hull and running gear. Also replace any zincs that are more than half gone. Check the prop(s) for damage. Clear any debris from through-hulls. Dock lines. Check all lines for cuts and wear. If the lines are stiff, soak them in fresh water with mild detergent and lay them out to dry. Electrical system. All electrical connections should be tight and free of corrosion. Spray them with a moisture-displacement lube formulated for use on electrical connections. Filters. Drain any accumulated water from the fuel/water separator bowl. Change filter elements if necessary. Fire extinguishers. Ensure extinguishers are still in a proper state of charge and not out of date. Generator. Oil levels, belts and fuel filters should be checked. If the (continued)

Lube oil. Now may be the time for a change. At the very least, check the oil level. At the same time check hydraulic fluid levels in steering and trim tab reservoirs and the transmission’s oil level. Safety gear. Check PFDs, signaling devices, the first-aid kit, the life raft, the EPIRP and the fume detectors. Also check the anchor and rode. Shore cords. Spray metal prongs and contacts with moisture-displacing lubricant. Inspect cords for cuts and abraded areas. Fender cleaner works well to clean any dirty cords. Spare parts. Make sure all the necessary spares are still aboard. Stuffing boxes. Inspect stuffing box(es) to ensure that the drip rate is proper. Adjust the packing nut if necessary. Make sure there is extra packing on board. Through-hull fittings. Check for signs of weeping, corrosion and cracks. Seacocks should work freely and without binding. Tools. Ensure all the tools are in working order and that everything one might need is aboard. Turbocharger. Inspect the unit by removing the inlet air cleaner, but carefully keep any dirt from entering. Pin the turbine by hand. It should spin freely and come to a smooth stop. Also, check for play in the assembly by grabbing the blade and rocking the fan back and forth. Windlass. Ensure the switches are in working order and lubricate the unit in accordance with the owner’s manual.

A SURVIVOR SUCCUMBS

BOUT 10 YEARS ago I told of finding a 19-foot Chesapeake center console with weeds growing up around it and a tree growing in the console. After two years of negotiation, I finally offered the owner $1,000, but he would take no more than $800. Thus, my $800 boat. I spent a week with The Nurse cleaning this 1988 classic with a 1986 Suzuki 150 short-shaft on a stern bracket.

The boat required a 25-inch shaft, so a year or so later I bought an Evinrude 140 looper with the proper shaft length and sold the Suzuki — both for the same amount of money. Still an $800 boat. A year went by, and being a “More power!” kind of guy, I searched for a 150 60-degree Evinrude. One found me, and less than two hours later a gentleman in need needed the 140. Same price. Still an $800 boat. So for 12 years we’ve waxed, bottom-painted and test-run (in the yard) this 1988 Chesapeake with a 1998

THEEXPERTS Evinrude 60-degree 150 on a virtually new Load Rite trailer. Because the Nurse and I are in our 70s, launching and hauling the boat each time we wanted to use it was difficult. This, however, is the time in our lives we’re going to reduce the workload. Eighteen-hour days, seven days a week are going to be reduced to eight-hour days, five days a week, so we can get out on our Chesapeake we have used — get this — three hours since we bought it. We bought a new Bimini top, a console cover, a seat cover, a rack for paddles and a boat hook. I even filled the fuel tank and had another coat of anti-fouling paint added. I forgot to add that my brother was coming to visit, and we were looking forward to some time on the river together, this weekend. No pressure. And to save our bodies, a friend offered the summer use of his boat lift. Then I thought, “Why not get rid of that bracket — as I understand boating is supposed to be relaxing — and replace the mechanical steering with hydraulic?” Our $800 boat became a $2,000 boat with no effort at all. If I amortized ownership, the boat — not counting insurance, TowBoat, taxes, etc. — cost us $167 a year. If I amortize use of the boat, it cost us $667/ hour for the three hours we used it. Time to change the math. Saturday, I took the boat to my friendly boatyard guy. Sunday, he called, all excited, and said, “Come on over! I want to show you something!” Off I went to the yard and the boat, where Henry met me. “Look,” he said, “the bracket’s off and the transom is rotten.” How rotten? “Really rotten.” He took a circular saw, ripped down the transom and tore off an easy half of the transom, exposing a second sheathing containing worms, the first he’d ever seen in that area. He started tapping the remaining wood with his screwdriver. He broke open the end of a stringer and out poured water and wood junk. He just looked at me. We pulled the boat over to the service line. I looked at Henry: “Any ideas, good or not?” “Well, I have this 1998, 19-foot Wellcraft with a bad engine for $2,000. Fix and sell the engine and you’ll own it for $1,500.”

I looked at the boat. Clean, solid, 10 years newer than the Chesapeake, rated for the engine I just removed from the Chesapeake, ready to accept the hydraulic steering, Bimini and new console/seat covers. Swap trailers. Deal. Tomorrow, I’ll go remove the things that made the Chesapeake our boat, things that everybody has on his boat — but

things that The Nurse and I scrimped for, researched, studied and purchased after we were certain we’d driven the salesman insane. I hope it will make the transition to the Wellcraft easier. This is the first boat I’ve had that wasn’t going to bring pleasure to someone else after I was through. The Chesapeake, like MaryLou and me, was a rescued survivor.

REGENCY

P65 MOTOR YACHT A RESURRECTED MARQUE RECEIVES AN INTERIOR MAKEOVER AND DELIVERS A SUPERYACHT FEEL. PHOTOS BY NEIL RABINOWITZ

OW DOES A new vessel get to have a “history”? If the new vessel is the Regency P65

Motor Yacht, it can trace its lineage back to 2005 when the well-respected naval architect and marine engineer Howard Apollonio designed a 65-footer that had all of the features of a much larger vessel. In fact, the few Regency yachts built in Taiwan by New Ocean Yachts, before production was put on hold during the 2008 financial crisis, were referred to a “mini mega-yachts.” In 2014 New Ocean and Seattle broker Martyn Snyder and his wife resurrected the marque. They updated the design and tooling and brought in Seattle interior designer Sylvia Bolton to update the interior. Bolton applied her more than three decades of experience in vessels such as Mazu, Anaya, Serenity and Rhapsody, and the results are truly striking. Regency models are now available from 60 to 96 feet and, like most vessels in that size, prospective owners can select from a number of general arrangements, flooring, carpeting, woods, veneers, fabrics, soft furniture and appliances.

CONSTRUCTION Hull structure is based on both longitudinal and vertical fiberglass stringers that are laminated to the hull. The hull itself is solid glass below the waterline and cored glass above. Divinycell PVC coring is used above the hull waterline and on the decks, deckhouse and command bridge. This type of construction yields a strong, stiff, lightweight, quiet-running hull that resists flexing and twisting under most conditions. The hull/deck connection, a source of problems on many boats, will not be on this one. The shoebox-style connection is bedded in 3M 5200 adhesive sealant, one of the best adhesive sealants in the industry, and then through-bolted every six inches with stainless nuts and bolts.

The exterior of the hull/deck joint is then glassed over with three layers of laminate. The exterior glass work on our test P65 was excellent — fair, smooth and without haze or print-through. The glass work on the hull/deck connection was undetectably different than on the rest of the hull.

ON DECK Access to the vessel is easily gained by stepping from the dock to a swim platform that is almost the same off-the-water height as most docks, which makes boarding quick, safe and easy for boaters with young children or aging parents. Provisioning and moving equipment or appliances on or off the vessel is easy as a result, too. Stairways to port and starboard off the swim platform lead up to a teak-soled, covered cockpit. A transom door, off the swim platform, provides easy access to the large lazarette. The cockpit is laid out for comfort and entertaining, with one unique feature. On one of the most beautiful teak tables I’ve seen in a long time sits a large, elegant ice bucket capable of easily holding half a dozen beers or a couple of bottles of wine. Ice buckets on a boat can be a problem. They generally fall off whatever they’re sitting on as the vessel moves along.

Beer spills and wine bottles break. This ice bucket is firmly fixed to the table. Ice buckets firmly fixed to any surface have a problem. How does one dump the water out as the ice melts? In the case of the Regency P65, the ice bucket drains through the table stand and over the side. I found the same attention to detail throughout the vessel during our test. Port and starboard helm controls are hidden away in the aft wall of the deckhouse, to make docking and marina maneuvering easier. The cockpit, despite having a lot of built-in seating, has plenty of room for additional chairs. It is clean and uncluttered, and access to the command bridge is up a teak-stepped ladder from there. Ample sidedecks with raised bulwarks and solid handrails make getting to the foredeck quick and easy. The foredeck boasts a feature that is usually limited to much larger vessels: a forward-facing settee built into the deckhouse. A table, complete with a built-in umbrella stand, makes the area great for lounging, sipping cocktails or noshing on a snack.

UP TOP The command bridge itself is large and comfortable and is an excellent entertainment area, well protected by a hardtop. Once again we find features that are normally found only on larger vessels. The P65’s command bridge has what has been called a beverage area, which is really a mini-galley, complete with a granite countertop, a sink, a refrigerator/icemaker, hot and cold running water, cabinet storage and an overhead TV. Toward the aft of the command bridge lives a barbecue center with a propane grill. All that was missing on test day was a bartender and a chef serving up hot food. The new P65 can be comfortably

With an interior designed by Sylvia Bolton, the Regency 65 feels like a private club. The inside helm is extremely well equipped and comfortable. The flybridge is an excellent entertainment area, thanks to a mini-galley, cabinet storage and an overhead TV.

operated from up top. Twin Garmin 7616 multifunction touchscreens display vessel operational and control information. Sometimes controlling a vessel from a command bridge can be difficult because of a bow “sight shadow” that obstructs forward visibility close to the vessel, but close-in visibility was not a problem.

INSIDE SCOOP Interior designer Sylvia Bolton was given free rein with this 65-footer, and the results are impressive. One of the most striking features is the grain in the walnut cabinetry, which runs horizontally rather than vertically as in most other vessels. Bolton borrowed that feature from the 146-foot Ron Holland–designed Mazu, which she also designed. Seven-foot ceilings, gray washed-oak floors, beige leather and ultraleather seating, and glass and stainless coffee tables give the P65’s salon the opulence of a first-class private club. The original pieces of wall art add to the ambiance of the interior. The general openness of the deckhouse layout, with no bulkheads between the pilothouse and the rest of the deckhouse, means the skipper has a view from the helm right through to the back deck. The galley, because it is situated immediately aft of the wheelhouse, is bright and cheery, even on dull days, and the cook

can be part of the activities even while preparing snacks or a full meal. The galley features plenty of easily cleaned granite countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, a four-burner induction cooktop, an oven, a refrigerator and two drawer freezers, a microwave, a garbage disposal and a trash compactor. Overall, the galley is better designed and features better quality appliances than most shoreside kitchens.

ACCOMMODATIONS The accommodation deck is accessed from the pilothouse down an elegantly curved stairway that “lands” on a foyer, something very rare on a vessel of this size. The fit and finish in that space is as good as in the rest of the vessel. Think book-matched walnut doors, walnut paneling with white and beige accents, and original wall art. The foyer, from which all staterooms are accessed, contains plenty of cabinet storage for towels, sheets and linens and features a washer and dryer cabinet. The full-width en suite master stateroom, which features an island king bed with side tables, a large bureau with

engine is protected by stainless safety rails, which, combined with adequate spacing, allow for easy routine servicing. The engine space is also the home of two generators, 16 and 20 kw, a hydraulic system for the bow and stern thrusters, a furnace and the air conditioning. All components are available in the U.S., so repair, parts replacement and servicing should not be a problem.

UNDERWAY The twin Volvo D13 diesels fired up instantly, and with the assistance of the thrusters we easily threaded our way through a crowded marina into the fairway. The vessel was very quiet as we headed for open water. At 1000 rpm we ghosted along at 8.6 knots with a fuel burn of 8.5 gph. At 2000 revs the yacht was well on plane at 16.3 knots and the 900 hp engines were burning a combined 56 gph, which is not an unusual amount for an 1,800 hp, 45-ton boat. The boat responded smartly to all helm inputs and visibility was good all around. The vessel continued to be very quiet, even at its top speed of 21.6 knots. During our

This vessel is beautifully finished throughout and has features normally found on much bigger boats. plenty of storage, and a full-sized walk-in cedar-lined closet, is located aft. Three hull windows, port and starboard, flood the stateroom with natural light. The fully carpeted VIP stateroom, located forward, is complete with an island queen bed, a hanging locker, opening portlights to port and starboard, and a skylight. The third stateroom, complete with twin beds and a hanging locker, features twin beds, washed-oak floors, opening ports and a generous hanging locker.

ENGINE ROOM & MORE The mechanical space can be accessed via a cockpit hatch or through the lazarette. The engines are mated to a ZF transmission and three-inch stainless shafts spinning five-bladed props. Each

test we brought the boat to a complete stop, put the helm hard over and, keeping it there, slowly increased the rpm. The vessel tucked itself into a flat turn in just more than its own length and continued without skip, skid or chatter. Clearly the drive line was well matched to the hull.

FINAL THOUGHTS This vessel is beautifully finished throughout and has features normally found on much bigger boats. It performs well and its equipment throughout is first class. It’s quiet and comfortable underway, and the open layout encourages passengers on board to interact with one another. At almost $3 million it is not an inexpensive boat, but if one looks at the value it offers compared to similarly sized yachts, it is a great deal.

UILDERS OFTEN TAKE input from their owners and make their designs better. And



why not? The owners are the folks out there using the boats and discovering how things really work on the water. The new FD87 Skyline from Horizon Yachts, part of its Fast Displacement line and debuting this year, is an example of that. “The evolution of this enclosed bridge FD87 and the speed with which it all came together represents a true partnership between the client, the architect and the shipyard,” said Horizon CEO John Lu, in a press statement. It starts with a new bow, a snub-nosed design Horizon calls a high-performance piercing bow (HPPB). Without any protrusions, the HPPB tested better for efficiency at slow speeds and performance at higher speeds. Builder estimates indicate the FD87’s range will be almost 2,000 nautical miles at 9 knots, on a 3,480-gallon capacity, with twin CAT C-18 Acert 1,136 hp diesels. Accommodations include an on-deck master that occupies the bow, giving the owners privacy and comfort. Four staterooms, all with an en suite head, are belowdecks, and two crew cabins are aft of the engine room. People of the relaxation and social persuasion are going to find themselves enchanted by the features at the aft end of the main deck and flybridge. On the main deck, a large door at the transom swings up to reveal not a dinghy garage but a “beach club” that includes a C-shaped settee, a large flat-screen TV, a bar and a small galley. It has direct access to the spacious swim platform, which can accommodate a few chaise lounges. On the bridge, the aft deck has room for a large settee and chairs or a hot tub or a dinghy and davit. The enclosed bridge houses the yacht’s helm, which seats three, a bar that seats four, a settee that seats four more and a day head. Forward of the enclosed bridge is a bow entertainment area that includes seating for up to 10 people on three settees around a table and room for two more to soak in rays on a sunpad. The bridge might be enclosed on this 90-footer, but outdoor gathering spaces abound, and even the indoor spaces are well lit and open. Horizon could have called this the RSVP87, because its social life is going to be active.

AZIMUT 50 FLYBRIDGE A NEW ITALIAN 50-FOOTER IS MAKING WAVES ON THE WEST COAST.

EPLACING THE AZIMUT 48, the 50 Flybridge has much to offer, including seductive exterior styling, a top speed of more than 30 knots and a three-stateroom layout with a luxurious finish. Anyone considering the richness and performance of an Azimut is already in the mindset to expect more, so we took the new 50 Flybridge out for a spin with Pete Zaleski of MarineMax in San Diego to see how it measures up.

FLYBRIDGE

ON DECK

The flybridge on this model left an impression on me. Not only is it large — more than 160 square feet — but it’s the “loungiest” top deck I’ve ever seen on a boat of this length. (And yes, I know that isn’t a word, but it’s accurate and descriptive, nonetheless.) A single helm seat is to port behind a well-laid-out console of instruments. Overhead, our test boat had the optional hardtop, which includes an inset manual canvas accordion sunroof that opens to bring in the sunshine, but otherwise it should provide good protection from the sun or rain. The rest of this deck is dedicated to relaxation. A U-shaped dinette is to starboard, and its forward end extends across and forward of the helm to form a sunpad. A galley module with a sink, a Vitrifrigo refrigerator and a Kenyon grill is optional, and more lounging space can be created aft on free-standing chairs. I envisioned a Bacchanalian feast up here, with passengers eating grapes, listening to tunes on the JL Audio system and lying back in cushioned comfort. Of course eight people could gather up here and enjoy sundowners for a less hedonistic approach.

Even more lounge space is below on the forward deck, where the bow looks like it was borrowed from a boat 20 feet longer. A huge sunpad sits between a forward-facing settee and the anchor locker. The pad is like a playpen; its capacity, combined with the sofa lounge, means eight passengers could easily have a party here. Despite the sunpad’s enormity, there’s plenty of room forward for crew to work the anchor with the Quick vertical windlass. The sidedecks are fairly wide, so they’re easy to move along, and a substantial outboard stainless steel railing makes a good handhold along the way. Aft along either side, steps lead down into the cockpit where a transom settee does double duty. First, it forms a forward-facing seat that’s fronted by a narrow table. Second, it houses optional crew quarters or additional stowage space below it. Engine access is via the cockpit sole. Climbing down, I noticed how tight the space is. The twin Volvo D11 670 hp diesels are tucked in neatly ahead of the Onan genset, and along with the rest of the systems, all is quite well situated and tidy. However, there’s no direct forward access

TESTER’S OPINION

• Azimut is a premier brand that has been well-respected in Europe for

decades. It’s a reputation that sets high expectations in the North American market. I’m happy to report that with a functional layout, an enormous flybridge, a high quality of finish and a good turn of speed, the new 50 Fly meets those expectations and then some.

Throughout the interior of the 50 Flybridge, Azimut incorporated a muted black, gray, beige and white color scheme, to echo the styling found in today’s high-end homes. At the helm twin MFDs and joystick control make operating the yacht easy and safe.

to the engines, and the tight fit means maintenance won’t be easy, especially for a larger mechanic. Gated passages on both sides hold steps that lead down from the cockpit to the 35-square-foot hydraulic swim platform, whose integrated chocks flip up to hold a tender. Otherwise it’s a great teak beach and an easy way to step aboard from the dock or a dinghy. The entire exterior of the 50 Fly is designed for enjoyment by many, and owners who like to entertain a crowd won’t be disappointed with the Azimut’s generous outdoor proportions.

ACCOMMODATIONS Anyone who’s toured open houses in their neighborhood lately (and who can resist?) will have noticed that décor preferences today lean toward muted gray and beige color schemes and minimalist styling for an almost office-like ambiance. This aesthetic has found its way to yachts too, and the Azimut 50 is an example. The signature look is by Carlo Galeazzi, who favors contrasting dark brown and black that blend with light cream and gray. The effect is clean but layered with textures that break up the spaces, so the eye always has something to land on. Enormous windows wrap around the main interior deck and flow from the large windshield back to the stainless steel-and-glass sliding door aft. The interior is bright and

inviting, although a few handholds would be welcome, since there’s little to grab onto as one moves around. The salon is on the same level as the cockpit, which creates easy single-level living and elongates the interior, making it feel much larger than its 50 feet. A U-shaped settee is to starboard by the door and a console to port hides a flat-screen TV. Two steps bring passengers up to a level with a dinette for four and the interior helm opposite. An extra step at the helm tripped me up, as it did Zaleski, and would

Social areas abound on the 50 Flybridge, from the spacious flybridge to the salone dinette to the bow, which includes a bench seat and a generous sun lounge. The galley (opposite page) is down, but owners can choose a galley-up configuration. 40 SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017

take some getting used to. The dash is on two levels, both of which are angled toward the driver for easy viewing of all the instruments and gauges. Twin MFDs (optional Raymarine Gold electronics are available) are mounted side by side on the upper level, so the captain can make a quick check of the yacht’s position without taking his eyes off the horizon for long. The Volvo Penta joystick is outboard next to the (manually) opening window through which the driver can communicate with crew on deck. It provides nice airflow too. Visibility is excellent in all directions, though the windshield mullions on both sides and the middle create blind spots.

BELOW The galley is down a few steps and to port. Light comes down through the windshield overhead in an atrium-like effect, so

the cook won’t feel buried in the dark. An opening port helps vent cooking odors and keeps the chef a bit cooler too. Per Zaleski, a non-standard arrangement brings the galley up to the main deck. Personally, I like galleys that are integrated into the salon, but in this case it could squeeze the main deck space, so the standard galleydown arrangement seems a workable compromise. I did find one aspect a bit odd. Azimut is known for providing a set of dishes, usually stored in a custom cabinet, and the 50 has multiple dedicated drawers in the salon that hold everything safely. But that means the cook has to come up out of the galley, walk across the dinette/helm deck, and then down into the salon to retrieve the dinner dishes. It’s kind of like having the kitchen cabinets in the living room. Three staterooms are standard — the VIP in the bow, a guest cabin to starboard with over/under bunks and the full-beam master aft. The owner’s stateroom is posh and includes three generous vertical windows, a roomy en suite head, plenty of stowage space in cubbyholes and drawers, and a slide-out vanity desk. There are few compromises, and I can’t imagine an owner who would not be comfortable here. A fourth cabin is for the crew, though it could be ideal for kids. The accommodations are tucked into the transom and include a bunk, a head and air conditioning. For owner-operators who don’t need the extra room, this could also be a great place to store water toys, lines and other garage-type stuff that always accumulates on a boat.

at 2450 rpm, the 50 Fly topped out at just more than 32 knots while burning 70 gph. Azimut lists cruising speed as 26 knots, but I’d feel just as comfortable at 22 or 23 knots, where the fuel consumption is a more economical 48 gph. With 581 gallons of fuel, expect a 270-mile range (with a small reserve) at cruising speed, depending on conditions. We popped up on plane at 15 to 16 knots,

OUT FOR A SPIN The water in San Diego Bay is usually clam and flat, and that’s exactly what we found during our afternoon test. In such conditions, we have to look for the odd wake to test how the boat will roll or slam in waves. I drew long circles and doubled back onto our own wake, placing the boat at the worst possible angle to the waves to check the roll. The Azimut did well on her own. With the optional Seakeeper engaged (a control unit can be added to the flybridge console), there would be no problems even in very rough conditions. With large four-blade props spinning

which is about standard for boats of this size. I noticed a shimmy in the hardtop as we picked up speed — an adjustment was in order there — but otherwise our ride was smooth, with little vibration. The boat is nice and quiet, partly due to the underwater exhaust. A 12-degree deadrise at the transom flows to 21 degrees amidships and then on to a nice deep-V bow. Its underbody parted the oncoming water efficiently and turned sharply as the helm delivered precise control with good responsiveness from the wheel. SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017 41

TIARA

44 FLYBRIDGE A COUPLES COUPE GETS A FLYBRIDGE

ADDITION AND GOES TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY.

’VE TOLD BOAT dealers this before, and I’ll tell them again: “Catalina is right there.” I

think Rick Young was tempted — who wouldn’t be? — but he had business to attend to after our sea trial. I did too, but maybe my sense of duty is more fluid than his. Anyway, we had work to do, putting the Tiara 44 Flybridge through its paces for Sea and Silver Seas Yachts. The F44 debuted at last year’s Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, and it kept the features that made its predecessor, the 44 Coupe, so popular: namely, social spaces, comfort and ease of operation. Even with the addition of a flybridge, the F44 kept its sleek look and coupe-like profile thanks to a gentle, graceful flowing of the shearline from about amidships to the transom.

FEW & MANY At its heart, the F44 is a couples boat, but it’s a bit of an extrovert, too. Its size makes it easily operable by two people, especially given the docking station that swings out from behind a panel on the starboard side of the cockpit, and its layout — single-level (mostly) main deck walkway, steps (not a ladder) to the flybridge, ample sidedecks and a 60-inch swim platform — makes it easy to get on, off and around the boat, in a hurry if need be, to place fenders and tie dock lines. But despite its couples-ness, it does have two staterooms and two heads (and the salon dinette can convert), and there is

enough seating aboard for both starting sides in a baseball game and the managers. Make all of them remove their cleats. The flybridge includes a doublewide helm seat, a three-person companion settee and a large settee with a table aft. An entertainment center houses a sink, a refrigerator and a cutting board. It’s a great location for three or four couples to enjoy a harbor cruise or sunset cocktails. In the cockpit are a transom settee and a built-in aft-facing seat. For a small group, the cockpit is a nice gathering place but with the sliding doors both open and secured, the cockpit and interior become one space, which brings the salon’s L-shaped settee and table (up a step to port) and loveseat (up a step to starboard) into the scene. Occupants of both settees have easy views out the windows thanks to being raised just slightly from the salon sole and can easily chat with folks in the cockpit. Two more people can enjoy catching some rays on the bow sunpad. Sharing the main cabin with the salon is the galley, which is all the way aft. To starboard is a countertop that includes a

• At its heart, the F44 is a couples boat, but it’s a bit of an extrovert, too.

Its size makes it easily operable by two people, especially given the docking station that swings out from behind a panel on the starboard side of the cockpit, and its layout makes it easy to get on, off and around the boat, in a hurry if need be, to place fenders and tie lines.

Given the F44’s place as a couples cruiser, it makes sense the owner’s stateroom is forward and separate from the second stateroom, but the rest of the boat, including the main cabin salon and the flybridge, is designed for company.

ACCOMMODATIONS The master stateroom occupies the bow and includes an island queen berth and an en suite head with a sink/vanity, a VacuFlush toilet and a shower stall. The foot of the bed lifts to reveal storage. It of course has an entertainment package that includes a 24-inch TV, a Blu Ray/DVD player, and a Fusion remote control and two JL Audio speakers. Portholes and an overhead hatch, all of which open, bring in natural light and airflow. Amidships, is the second stateroom. It has standing headroom at the entrance but not over the berths or the small settee. The twin berths can be combined into one large berth, depending on the situation. Occupants have a hanging locker, though the owners can elect to use that space for a washer/dryer combo unit, and they use the second head, which serves as the day head.

PERFORMANCE Having driven other Tiara models, both larger and smaller than the F44, I expected sporty performance and very

good handling, and after about 40 minutes of no-wake transiting through Newport Harbor, I finally got the chance to see if this new Tiara would prove its place in the family. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint. During a hardover turn at near WOT, the F44 leaned over like a sportboat and closed a tight circle that had us back in our own wake in no time, all while losing just a couple of knots of speed. The transition from hard left to hard right was smooth and quick, and the sharp entry of the hull handled the ocean swell and our own wake no matter the angle of our approach. We operated the F44 from the flybridge helm, the only helm on our test boat. Standard features include twin Garmin 7612 multifunction displays that are part of a Volvo Glass Cockpit package, Volvo autopilot, Garmin radar, a VHF radio and a sport wheel. Built into the arm of the doublewide helm seat are the engine throttles, the Volvo joystick and the Garmin GRID remote, which controls the MFDs without touching them. For boat buyers in the Pacific Northwest or other temperate climates, the F44 can be outfitted with a lower helm station,

reserve). The reality, as it always seems to be with Volvo Penta IPS engines, is that fuel efficiency from 3100 rpm to WOT only varies by about 0.03 mpg, so range varies by about 10 to 14 miles. Slow down to trawler speed, 8.3 knots at 1200 rpm, and the range stretches out to just more than 1,100 miles. That’s more than 4 mpg.

A more consistent top speed was 29.6 knots at 3620 rpm, at which point the twin Volvo IPS600 diesels were burning a combined 43 gph. The F44 settled into a solid cruise profile at about 3200 rpm, at which point we were traveling at a 23.5-knot pace wile burning 33 gph, yielding a range of about 257 statute miles (with a 10 percent

Sometimes, the details that aren’t as obvious reveal how a builder values quality. Tiara uses bronze seacocks on all of its underwater through-hull fittings, integrates its wood and foam-core stringers into the hull with encapsulated hand-laid fiberglass, and gelcoats its fiberglass-lined bilges. The things that are noticeable, though, are worth a look. It took me a while to notice, but the Corian used on the galley counters is present in several places throughout the yacht, tying everything together with some thoughtful design. It appears as a small “shelf” at the helm, for small devices and cupholders. It appears in the middle of the flybridge table as a sunken rack that holds four cups. In the cockpit, it appears as an inset base for the table, which folds in half and leaves a bit of the Corian exposed. And it appears as the lid for the transom grill and as the countertop next to it — oh, I haven’t mentioned that yet? Yep, there’s an electric grill built into the transom, and it takes advantage of the huge swim platform (which can be optioned as a Nautical Structures hydraulic platform outfitted with dinghy chocks) as a safety zone. Throughout the yacht, teak and wenge wood cabinets, walls, trim and soles tie one area to the next to the next, as does the cream-colored upholstery and ceiling and wall treatments. Teak is an option on the swim platform and the steps to the flybridge too, so buyers can somewhat customize their teak level. SEAMAGAZINE.COM JUNE 2017 45

SINCE THE LAUNCH OF ITS FIRST PRODUCT (M7000) in 2008, Seakeeper has been marshaling its R&D resources and focusing on bringing stabilization to new — smaller in size and powered by outboards — vessels such as center console fishing boats by Skeeter, Jupiter, Regulator and others. “We wanted to change boating for everyone, so we pushed down-market to the 30-foot segment where the majority of boaters live,” Sempervivo said. Focusing on smaller boats was a good growth strategy for the company, because the unit volume of new boats is much higher there. Its timing was good too, because as Seakeeper was working on “miniaturizing” the technology, the economic recession faded and the market became intrigued, got educated and demanded better comfort aboard. Stabilizing fin maker Quantum, on the other hand, decided it was already in the right market size-wise but needed to optimize its product. So it developed the Dyna-Foil retractable fin, which has a more dynamic self-induced lift for better performance at rest, where fins are notoriously challenged. “We have a soft sweeping motion, which reduces the ‘jerk effect’ and improves

The smallest Seakeeper gyro unit, the 3 (left), is being installed on boats as small as 30 feet, especially center consoles with a seat base that can house it. The Seakeeper 9 (top) is keeping larger boats, such as the Duffield 58, stable at rest and at speed.

performance, especially at rest,” said Mark Armstrong, technical sales manager at Quantum. “The sophistication of the users, be they owners, professional captains or charter guests, has enhanced expectations and an appreciation of our performance level.” New competitors have seized the market opportunity too. Side-Power of Norway, distributed in the U.S. by Imtra, entered the stabilization market less than three years ago but already has come up with patented award-winning concave Vector fins for vessels 57 to 140 feet. These fins are different from anything we could have imagined just a short time ago. And the popularity of gyroscopes attracted a newcomer too. Italian windlass and thruster maker Quick has launched a new line of vertical gyros called the MC2, which presumably cost 20 percent less and can be dropped into boats from five to 80 tons. It’s clear that stabilization is no longer for the wealthy few and their superyachts. And as the various technologies have found their targets and their development picked up pace, market demands have only grown bolder and louder. Message received.

Improved Performance at Rest & Play

Dramatic improvements have been made in performance, both underway and at rest. Active fins have traditionally done well at speed, but the external foils create drag and reduce fuel efficiency. Plus, they’re magnets 48

for debris, prone to damage and have been performance-challenged at zero speed. Gyros, on the other hand, are an internal system that performs well at rest, but the units have tended to be heavy, expensive and not as effective underway. But all that is changing. Makers of active fins have targeted the elusive zero-speed zone. Quantum introduced Dyna-Foil, which retracts completely into a full pocket or to a position parallel to the hull (non-pocketed) when not in use. The foil creates more lift both underway for less drag and at rest for roll reduction. Also, with stored energy accumulators and variable motor control, its Compact Hydraulic Power Unit (CHPU) enables low-power cycling. Phil Whitaker, product manager for custom products at Imtra, said that SidePower has taken a different approach to the solution. Side-Power’s Vector fin has a unique curved shape, designed to minimize energy loss from the swaying movement that creates lift. The foil is said to improve roll reduction efficiency by 50 percent at rest and 30 percent underway, while also reducing undesired yaw and swaying. “When you’re measuring speed at gallons per mile, less overall drag translates to real savings,” Whitaker said. Gyroscope improvements haven’t sat idle. Seakeeper gyros tout a roll reduction of 90 to 95 percent at rest, which is where they do their best work. That goes for all models, but the company’s focus on small boats has had some pretty impressive results. Targeting center console boats, Seakeeper has made its gyros more efficient for vessels with a narrower beam, a deeper deadrise and, therefore, a shorter roll period. The company has even designed a module where the gyro is contained below the center seat/leaning post, which makes it easier for builders to incorporate the gyro into their new designs. The units have

been made quieter too, due to their proximity to the operator.

Power Requirements & Energy Consumption

Stabilizer units without large AC generators was a fantasy just a few years ago, but that’s changing too. Seakeeper now works with many manufacturers of small fishing boats, so its gyros have to be powered by outboards. The newly launched small SK3 has a flywheel that spins three times faster but is only two-thirds the size with half the power requirements. It’s meant for outboard boats where there is typically no genset aboard. “We recommend people spin up the gyro while on shore power, and that now takes only 35 minutes. Then they run off an alternator or one additional house battery,” Sempervivo said. “One battery weighs much less than a genset, and there’s an automatic cutoff for the gyro after four hours if the battery bank drops.” Swedish fin maker Humphree takes a different approach with somewhat similar results. It offers a fin system that eschews potentially messy hydraulics for clean 24v DC power using brushless electric servo units. Its low-profile All Speed fins don’t need an AC genset to run either. Overall, even active fin stabilizers have the ability to run with smaller power sources due to variable-speed motors. The need for large a genset — 15 to 30 kw — may soon be a thing of the past, which means less fuel consumption and less noise in quiet remote anchorages. SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017

Making Cents

So has the proliferation of new competitors and products paved the way for cheaper stabilization? Yes and no. As gyros have penetrated the small-boat market, the entry price settled just under $27,000 for the new Seakeeper 3, which redefines affordable. Its larger systems have also seen a reduction. Seakeeper’s M7 used to sell for $79,000, and now its SK9 is selling for $71,000 — a 12 percent reduction in price with a 30 percent increase in performance. Armstrong says Quantum fins have maintained stable pricing but performance has been enhanced, so buyers get more for the same investment. Quantum’s $1 million investment in R&D has paid off in retaining its discerning market that is willing to pay for advanced solutions. Perhaps a better question is not “Have prices dropped?” but rather, “Has value

increased as everyone builds a better mousetrap?” The answer is an unequivocal yes.

Refits: Size & Installation

The concept of refitting existing vessels with new stabilization technology is particularly challenging when one considers space constraints, power restrictions and the pesky problem of already-installed equipment. Take heart, though. Some of the new products challenge all our refit assumptions, especially in terms of size and the onboard real estate required to shoehorn them in. For example, the new Seakeeper 3 is only 27 inches by 27 inches by 23 inches and weighs 550 pounds. (The next size up adds volume as well as another 250 pounds.) Most boat owners can find a place for the unit in the machinery space or maybe even under a crew or guest bunk. (The units

hum but otherwise are fairly unobtrusive.) Seakeeper’s larger units (5 and 9) have improved as well by offering the same performance but with a 40 percent smaller footprint. Gyro installation has been simplified, requiring fewer structural modifications. “What may have taken two to three weeks to retrofit five years ago is more of a drop-in process now,” Sempervivo said. “The units are smaller, so they’ll fit anywhere and the structural reinforcement isn’t as massive or invasive as before, so it’s more plug-and-play. Since 25 percent of our business is in refits, we’re focused on making the process easier.” Whitaker notes that refits are tough for active fins, because there’s often not enough room for supporting equipment inside the hull. “Locations of foils are rarely optimal in a refit,” he said. “And that’s where more

compact actuators and remote control systems really help. Efficient fins can work almost regardless of the location tradeoffs.” He added that Side-Power’s fins can tee into an existing hydraulic system and they have fairly remote power sources, so again, installs are much more flexible. “Improvements in control systems and algorithms have allowed us to squeeze the best out of our fins,” Whitaker said. “And we can update the performance of the controller via software without ever needing a hardware component upgrade.”

units that may be able to run for eight hours on battery power alone, so overnight without the noise of a genset is within reach. Second, the company may soon be targeting runabouts down to 20 feet and even towsports boats, changing expectations in a new market segment once again. Both Side-Power and Quantum say their focus is on product improvement with the key metrics being service availability, installation ease and overall roll reduction.

Sweat the Details It’s a great time to sell a boat. Here’s how to get it ready. BY GR EGG M A NSFIELD

6/29/17 2:20 PM

MOST OF US REMEMBER THE 2008 financial crisis. People watched their 401(k) accounts evaporate and many lost their job or their home. From that financial meltdown there is a small silver lining, especially for anyone currently selling a powerboat. New boat manufacturing languished for four years after the crisis, creating today’s shortage of quality used boats on the market. Folks thinking about putting a boat up for sale should follow these tips to get their boat in top sales shape. Folks looking to buy a used boat should be able to find quality late-model options after a bit of a drought.

Vanity Matters When it comes to getting the boat ready to sell, the reality TV marketing playbook is a good model: be visible. Carefully staged photos and drone videos help a boat stand out from the crowd. “There’s an old saying that applies in many industries: You only have one chance to make a good first impression,” said Bill King, a broker with Compass Point Yachts in Newport Beach, Calif. “It’s no different when it comes to selling a boat.” A boat that is free of personal items and clutter — especially in the cabin and cockpit — is key, not only for marketing photographs but also for when brokers show the boat to potential buyers. That means owners should ditch personal photographs, empty clothes from drawers and closets, and scrape off decals that didn’t come with the boat when it left the factory years ago. “What we try to sell is kind of the dream,” said Geoff Swing, a broker with Stan Miller Yachts in Southern California. “Where we run into trouble is helping a seller realize that what they need to do is stop showing their dream on their boat and allow that prospective buyer to walk up and start visualizing their dream.” Brokers encourage boat owners to use their powerboat while it’s for sale, which keeps the engines and systems operating. Swing tells his clients to keep their personal effects in bags that can easily be transferred to a car. Cockpits and cabins should be tidy, especially for photo shoots and buyer showings. Swing says he’s seen advertisements where the bed wasn’t even made. “You have to put in the time and do it right,” he said.

Smart Improvements

Not all improvements are created equally when it comes to a return on investment. Knowing the boat’s market segment and working with a trusted broker, a seller can determine if any improvements are needed to attract buyers. Brokers generally agree that if a seller has a limited budget, he should spend money on combating odors (e.g., holding tanks) and making sure the engine room and bilge are clean. John Murray and his wife, Karen, after selling their Carver 380, searched the West Coast for a used boat, recently purchasing a used 43-foot Selene in Seattle. Murray said odors emanating from compartments are a reflection of how well, or not, a boat is maintained. “When you walk on a vessel, you want it to smell good — that’s the bottom line,” he said. “I have a plumbing business. We have 15 vehicles, three tractors and two semis. All those

put together don’t take the energy it takes to keep a boat safe and maintained.” A seller should consider hiring a surveyor to do a presale inspection on the boat. While a survey isn’t cheap — $18 per foot or more — it can provide valuable insight on what needs to be fixed. A survey can also head off issues by disclosing potential problems early in the sales process. Jeff Keiser, owner of Keiser Marine Survey in the San Francisco Bay Area, said an inspection gives the seller a good starting point for deciding where to spend limited improvement dollars. “You end up with a 30- to 40-page report that goes through every single system and tells you every single problem,” Keiser said.

Used-Boat Market Heating Up The market for used boats in the U.S. is the strongest it has been in years.

“The biggest difficultly now is finding good clean boats to sell,” said Bill King, a broker with Compass Point Yachts in Newport Beach, Calif. “The general broad market of used boats is getting older and more tired. Having one that is in pristine condition is really helpful as far as getting your boat sold.” Blame the great recession of 2008, which saw boat production slow to a crawl and caused some iconic boat builders go out of business. Nearly 250,000 fewer powerboats were built during the recession as compared to the prior four years, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association. Finding powerboats built between 2009 and 2012 can be hard. That’s why brokers are turning back the clock to the early 2000s. “The prices have firmed up over the last couple of years and they have gone up a little bit, but they didn’t go up nearly as quickly as they came down in 2008, 2009 and 2010,” King said. Boats built by now-defunct manufacturers might take a little more time to sell because there is no longer factory support. But even those boats are moving. If you decide to put a boat up for sale, be committed and ready to sell. “When someone is out looking at boats, it’s generally on the weekend. When somebody wants to go use their boat, it’s generally on the weekend,” said Geoff Swing, a broker at Stan Miller Yachts in Southern California. “We don’t want to keep them from using it, and the more it’s used, the better it works, but it’s kind of a give and take. If they are serious about selling it, they have to make sure it’s available for us to show.”

Before and After Make sure the interior shots are staged well and taken from angles that show off the space and the amenities in the best light. The two photos at the top are dark and unappealing. The larger photos shows a clean, well-lit interior. Often, it’s worth having the boat photographed professionally.

“At the end of the report, I relist the problems in order of importance, so you have a good work list to go through.”

Weekend Fixes That Pay Anyone willing to put in a lot of elbow grease should take aim at the engine room and bilges, to remove any built-up oil, grease or grime. Using off-the-shelf marine products, start at the top of the engine room and work to the bilge. Seek out the hard-to-reach spots where grime has built up and will be spotted by savvy buyers. Don’t forget to turn off the bilges if the boat is in the water. Most brokers recommend hiring a professional to detail the engine room, noting that a thorough cleaning will take an amateur a day or more. Plus, all the water and grime in the bilge has to be

sucked out and taken to a disposal site. Instead, use the time to descale rust off parts, apply a little primer and match the paint color. Pull out the generator pans and use a small wire brush to remove rust, then apply some zinc chromate primer and white paint. “You can certainly make a tremendous difference in your engine room and the generator,” said J.R. Means of Bayport Yachts in Newport Beach, Calif. “The surveyor will see what you’ve done and know you’re not trying to hide anything. You’re just trying to make it look like you took care of the boat, and at this point you are.” Abovedecks, the boat needs to be detailed and waxed. Boat brokers again recommend hiring a professional detailer, but it’s a physical job that most owners can handle. Check with the boat manufacturer to see what cleaning products it suggests. While the hull and deck will get most of the attention, stowage lockers should be cleaned, to eliminate any odors. Pay special attention to areas where grime can hide, such as window tracks and under railings. The living quarters and the galley should be well cleaned to remove musty odors coming from lockers or the head compartment. Holding tanks should be flushed too. If detailing doesn’t sound appealing but you have some mechanical skills, review

Buying a used boat can be a lengthy process with many steps. Here’s what to expect:

• Prequalify. Buyers need to be prequalified or provide bank statements showing enough capital. • Price and Deposit. Both sides must reach an agreed-upon price, and the buyer will have to provide a deposit before proceeding to a sea trial. • Sea Trial. A representative will take the potential buyer out for a sea trial and run all the systems on the boat. • Surveyor. The buyer will hire a surveyor to do an inspection of the boat and provide a report. • Mechanical Inspection. A mechanic will check the entire mechanical system and take oil samples out of the generator, transmission and engines. The samples will be sent out for an analysis that looks for signs of wear. • Bottom Inspection. A full bottom survey will include an examination of the props, shafts and rudders. The inspector will look for extreme electrolysis and will sound the hull to look for dead spots. • Pay Day. When the sale closes, the seller will receive a check for the agreed-upon sale price minus the broker fees. SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017 55

the surveyor’s list for easy projects, such as replacing broken gauges or rubberized rocker switches that have seen better days. Parts are usually readily available online and involve simple connections.

Haulout-Worthy Fixes Most sellers won’t like this piece of advice, but the truth can hurt: A powerboat should be hauled out of the water and inspected long before the final surveyor inspection to close the sale. Knowing what’s below the waterline will head off any deal-breaking surprises. Buyers don’t want to assume the cost of deferred maintenance, especially routine maintenance the previous owner should have handled. Murray estimates that half of the used boats he has been asked to check out had no maintenance logs. In those cases, he simply walks off the boat. “Document everything — the good, the bad, the ugly,” Murray said. “Just have receipts and don’t be afraid to show them and deal with the issues. I knew what was wrong or what wasn’t up to par on the vessel we were selling, and we put that up front.” When the boat is out of the water, brokers say owners should fix any blistering and do bottom paint if it has been more than 18 months since the last treatment. The boatyard should examine the underwater running gear and treat any corrosion. This type of maintenance won’t bring the seller more money but will lead to a faster sale, saving money on insurance, dockage and maintenance. Right now, large powerboats are taking about 290 days to sell, Means said. “The speed to sale is tremendously faster when somebody walks up to a boat, falls in love with it emotionally and then isn’t tripped up during the survey by finding all these hidden things underneath the hatch,” Means said. Owners trying to sell a powerboat with a broken engine or rudder shaft can pretty much forget about selling it until the boat is fixed. Distressed boats tend to bring out the bottom feeders. “Almost nobody wants a project boat,” Means said.

Find a Broker

Finding the right boat broker is crucial to getting the sale done smoothly. Use our tips to select a broker: Referrals. Ask fellow boaters and employees at the local marina for recommendations. Interview.

Meet with a few brokers and ask them to provide a list of boats they’ve sold in the past. Give special consideration to brokers who specialize in selling your brand. They may already have a buyer in the wings. Satisfied Customers.

Ask the broker to provide contact information for his past two sales and get those clients’ feedback. Fee Structure.

Brokers generally receive a 10 percent fee for the sale. Asking them to reduce the fee may cause them to be less motivated to work on your behalf. Contract.

California and Florida allow for agreements up to six months, which can be renewed at the end of the term. Be leery of brokers who demand long-term contracts. Certification.

Look for brokers who are members of the Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA). Many buyers and sellers prefer brokers who are Certified Professional Yacht Brokers (CPYB). Marketing.

Ask the broker how he plans to market the boat online and in boating publications. The broker should handle the photo shoot and creating marketing materials. Communication.

Brokers should update their clients at least once a month about potential prospects. Changing Brokers.

Give a broker at least 60 days before evaluating his progress. Remember, a broker has sunk costs in photography and marketing.

There are few problem-free powerboats on the used market, especially if the boat has been operated regularly. As tempting as it might be to fix all of the problems before putting up the For Sale sign, sellers should listen to the advice of a good broker. Brokers generally agree that a major renovation of the cabin or cockpit should be left up to the buyer (perhaps giving the buyer some money back on the closing costs instead of renovating the interior oneself is the better path). The same goes for sun-faded or torn canvas covers. “If it’s something where you’re just exchanging white cushions for white cushions and you’re not personalizing it, then maybe you should [do it yourself],” said Swing of Stan Miller Yachts. “If you’re going to personalize it, then don’t. You may like baby blue, but the masses out there are going to look at it and wonder, ‘Who in the hell picked baby blue?’” Sometimes the seller has to invest some money to get a buyer. Means’ firm was brokering a 42-foot Sea Ray that had been on the market for two years. They convinced the owner to redo the upholstery, replace the clear vinyl and the canvas. “Once we did all that work, the boat sold in a month,” Means said. “Unfortunately, it had been on the market so long we weren’t able to rescue the value.” Keiser said sellers should fix any delamination to the deck rather than trying to pass it on to the buyer. If the surveyor discovers separation between the hull and inner grid liner, it’s time to walk away. “You don’t want to jeopardize your life with the boat,” Keiser said.

Go with the Flow Selling a used boat can be stressful, but doing one’s homework will help navigate the process. Patience goes a long way during a boat sale that can take up to a year (or longer). “Most people don’t buy and sell too many things, so it can be nerve-racking,” Murray said. “It’s stressful if you don’t have the right help or are not prepared. If you’re prepared and you’ve got the right frame of mind, it’s not that difficult.”

BREMERTON IS BOOMING

AN INTERESTING AND LIKABLE PORT OF CALL FOR PUGET SOUND BOATERS IS NOT FAR FROM SEATTLE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

BREMERTON IS CITED AS AN up-and-coming place for boaters to visit. Located just across Puget Sound from Seattle, Bremerton has remade itself, in recent years, into an appealing port of call. The U.S. Navy has been a part of the area since 1891, and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility and Naval Base Kitsap employs many of Bremerton’s residents.

ALONG THE WATERFRONT Bremerton’s deep commitment to military service takes shape on the waterfront. The Puget Sound Navy Museum 1 features historical exhibits about the Puget Sound Naval

Shipyard and an exhibit of USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), which provides visitors with an idea of what life aboard a nuclear aircraft carrier was like. Out front, the sail of USS Parche, a decommissioned Sturgeon-class nuclear submarine, rises from the concrete. A short walk toward the water is Harborside Fountain Park 2 , which features mesmerizing synchronized water fountains, all of which mimic the shape of a submarine sail. East of the Ferry Terminal, the Louis Mentor Boardwalk — with flowers, water features, sculptures, restaurants, and tributes to the Navy and shipyard workers — passes the marina and ends at USS Turner Joy 3 , a renowned Navy destroyer SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017 PNW-1

We’re always pleased during our visits by the generous fairways and oversized finger piers, which come in handy when we’re negotiating the current that flows through the marina at times. Upon request the marina will provide an attendant to assist with lines.

of Washington, pumpout boats, public education and collaboration with marinas diverted 10 million gallons of onboard sewage to onshore treatment last year. The Washington Clean Vessel Act, a joint program of Washington State Parks, U.S. Fish & Wildlife and Washington Sea Grant, helped divert a record 10 million gallons of raw sewage from Puget Sound, Lake Washington and other state waterways that previously would have been dumped into vulnerable waters. Instead it was collected for safe onshore treatment. This diversion is largely a result of training and outreach funded by U.S. Fish & Wildlife for the Pumpout Washington program, a branch of the Clean Vessel Act that provides outreach and education to boaters.

CULTURE SHOCK

FORT MASON IS A CULTURAL OASIS AMID SAN FRANCISCO BAY’S HUSTLE AND BUSTLE. SAN FRANCISCO IS A CITY of antitheses. One moment it’s bright and sunny, and the next a thick fog rolls in. Foodies can find the best hole-in-the-wall burrito but also Michelin-starred restaurants — the most on the West Coast. In recent years, the tech boom inundated San Francisco, bringing with it an incursion of techies and startup companies that have all but flushed out the bohemian counter culture that shaped the city and gave it its colorful history. But there is a yin to this yang, preserving what is inherently San Francisco. A repurposed military base campus is filled with diverse and innovative theaters, dance performance areas and art installations, and offers educational and cultural classes. Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture is a refuge for the artistic community of San Francisco.

DEEP ROOTS Fort Mason was once the hub of military activity for the bay area, especially during World War II. Originally established in the 1860s, Fort Mason played a critical role as the San Francisco Port of Embarkation between 1910 and 1963 for the U.S. military. In current times, some of the old officer housing remains in use by the Army, and some is rented to the public.

FMCAC houses the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Artist Gallery, Blue Bear School of Music, City College of San Francisco Art Campus, the Mexican Museum, and various other galleries, a restaurant, performing arts theaters and creative spaces. The National Park Service headquarters and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park are also located at Fort Mason.

Fort Mason is located right next to the Golden Gate Bridge and boasts fantastic views of San Francisco Bay.

The quickest and most scenic way to get to Fort Mason is via a 20-minute walk from Fisherman’s Wharf. Snag a guest dock in the West Harbor from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. by calling (415) 705-5436 or via VHF Channel 16. All day stays must depart the marina by 4:30 p.m. Boaters looking for a longer stay can complete a request form on the Pier 39 website. The brief walk is a beautiful shortcut from Fisherman’s Wharf runs along the waterfront directly to Fort Mason, on a path that offers incredible views of Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito.

What are some of the common “rules” violations you see boaters commit around the harbor?

There is a large portion of the population enjoying the harbor that does not have any notion as to what, if any, rules exist. For those individuals, whether out cruising with friends or family on electric or pontoon boats, taking a scenic tour on kayaks or standup paddleboards, or motoring out of the bay on a new 50-foot powerboat, common courtesy and common sense are often times lacking. At the end of each class, I and my fellow instructors swap stories of near misses we see or that our students experience. Lately I have noticed less of an adherence to the 5 mph speed limit/no-wake rule. Small boats regularly get tossed around from a powerboat’s wake. The kids I teach think it’s fun, like being in the ocean; after about the third time taking on water from a boat going by too fast, the adults are not so amused. When people come to OCC for powerboating lessons, what are the most common things they want to know? The most common thing that powerboat students want to know is how to better control the boat, especially when docking. They’re usually OK leaving the dock and driving around the harbor, but anxiety sets in when they realize that they have to bring the boat back into the slip. The students soon realize that they can control their vessel better with little bursts of power rather than speed. One student in particular stands out. He said that for 10 years he had owned several powerboats, was self-taught and tired of banging up his boats. He took the class, he said, to finally learn how to do it properly and was pleasantly surprised when he learned finesse — and that full throttle reverse wasn’t necessary to stop the boat. What’s the most important thing when it comes to successful seamanship? I would say “situational awareness” — knowing what is going on around you at all times. This encompasses knowing your boat, your ability and that of your crew, the weather, the current, your destination, dressing properly for the conditions, and keeping a constant lookout. You can never be too prepared. I tell my sailing students that Murphy (Murphy’s Law) loves to go sailing. Our job while sailing is to have fun, stay safe and kick Murphy off the boat.

SB 1 ENSURES A GAS HIKE IS COMING

CALIFORNIANS — INCLUDING BOATERS — WILL PAY MORE AT THE PUMP. BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT

THE COST OF LIVING — and boating — in California will be increasing yet again as Gov. Jerry Brown and California legislators backed a 12-cent gasoline tax hike in April. Guess what boaters. All of you will be hit with this tax no different than anyone else fueling up on the road. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) was approved by state legislators and quickly signed into law by Brown with the caveat the additional revenue was necessary to rescue California’s aging infrastructure. If successful, the gas tax hike would raise $5.2 billion in transportation revenues and redirect the funds maintaining local roads, state highways and trade corridors. Brown and state legislators argued SB 1 would specifically help fund the rebuilding of state highways and roads. Boaters, of course, do not use the highway, meaning there wouldn’t be any incentive to pay a

tax hike where the only beneficiaries were benefiting vehicle owners. “The increased tax will apply to all gasoline purchases regardless if it’s at a station or trailer or fuel dock,” former Marina Recreation Association president Kevin Ketchum told The Log. The new gas tax also applies to boaters who fill up at a fuel dock within state limits, as all gasoline sold in California is taxable under the new law. Practically speaking here’s what the 12-cent gasoline excise tax means to you, whether you’re a boater or a driver: You will

pay more than 76 cents per gallon in state and federal taxes once the just-approved hike takes full effect by 2019. Boaters with diesel engines would be hit with a 20-cent excise tax and a four-percent-per-gallon sales tax, according to SB 1. “We will probably not be using our boats as much as we did,” Peter Robertson, president of Recreational Boaters of California, said. Robertson, who said he talked to boaters across the state, added there are a lot of diesel boats on the water. Those diesel boat owners, Robertson said, would likely be “nailed” as fallout from the tax hike. Early iterations of SB 1, several sources confirmed, did not include benefits for boaters. The law as passed, however, does SEAMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2017 CA-9

redirect some of the tax revenues to the Division of Boating and Waterways. A percentage of the tax revenues, specifically, would be allocated into the state parks department, which, in turn, would set aside funds for boaters and off-roaders. Funds from the new tax hike would continue to be allocated into the state’s Parks and Recreation Department (as well as the Division of Boating and Waterways). What remains unclear is the amount state officials would allocate to the division. “Were still trying to figure out the money,” Robertson said, adding no one, as of right now, really knows what the exact splits would be. Robertson confirmed the new revenues would somehow be split among boaters, off-roaders and the Parks and Recreation Department in general. There are opportunities to change and update certain provisions in the future, Robertson added. A State Senate legislative analysis of SB 1 stated California’s roads and highways were in fair or at-risk condition, hence justifying the excise tax hike. “California faces an estimated $137 billion deferred maintenance backlog over the next 10 years at the state and local level that will grow by billions every year,” the State Senate’s legislative analysis of SB 1 stated. “SB 1 creates a much-needed funding plan to address the maintenance backlog of our aging systems.” California is home to more than 2.2 million registered trailers — many of which are used to transport recreational boats to local marinas and harbors — and almost 800,000 registered vessels, according to Department of Motor Vehicles records. Boaters who fuel their respective vessels at terrestrial gas stations will certainly be paying California’s new gas tax no different than automobile drivers and motorcyclists. The Automobile Association of America, or AAA, reported the daily average price for regular gasoline in California was $3.061 per gallon; the national average was $2.358 per gallon (both prices as of May 22).

Pre-Purchase Survey This is the most comprehensive type of inspection, and is strongly advised when purchasing a new or used vessel. Condition and overall operation of the vessel should be examined, including structural integrity, electrical systems, the propulsion system, the fuel system, other machinery, navigation equipment, miscellaneous onboard systems, cosmetic appearance, electronics, and overall maintenance. It’s in addition to an out-of-water inspection and a sea trial.

•

Insurance Survey This inspection is performed so the insurance company can determine whether the vessel is an acceptable risk. Insurers are interested in structural integrity and safety for its intended use. Most insurance companies require a survey on older boats, and will also want to know the vessel’s fair market value.

•

Appraisal Inspection This inspection, normally needed for financing, estate settlements, donations and legal cases, is performed to gather enough information to justify or determine the fair market value of the vessel.

•

AUGUST QUESTION:

The surveyor can be retained by an insurance company to determine the cause of a loss and determine the extent of loss-related damage and may be asked to recommend repairs, review estimates, and determine the pre-loss value of a vessel. A vessel owner can retain a surveyor for the same purposes, but for the owner’s behalf.

I’m confused as to what kind of survey needs to be conducted on my boat. What can you tell me? Without knowing the full situation, we can’t provide definitive advice, but maybe this information from the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors will help. Visit marinesurvey.org to find out more (and to find a surveyor nearby).
