THE BIG 100 THE CENTURY MARK. IT seems 100 is a worthy number in many instances, from someone’s age

to the points scored by one man in an NBA game to a student’s score on a test. This issue of Sea marks my 100th issue at the helm since I came aboard in December 2009 and took responsibility for the February 2010 issue. (While the numbers might seem confusing, the math works out. My smartphone has a calculator.)

Topics covered in that first issue included, among others, how to survive a surprise Coast Guard boarding, the cost of living aboard a trawler and, fortuitously, Seakeeper gyro stabilizers. Those were the early days for the manufacturer, and since that February 2010 story, Seakeeper has created gyros that are both bigger and smaller, recently introducing one for boats as small as 27 feet.

Interestingly, one of our sea trials this month involves a yacht equipped with a Seakeeper 9, which proved its mettle on a rolling, swollen Pacific Ocean. I tested the Princess S60 in March and got a real-life look at its roll-stopping power, as we put the S60’s beam to the 6-foot swells, disengaged the gyro, got a feel for the sweeping roll, reengaged the gyro and sat in admiration as the device nearly eliminated the roll, even though it was in a yacht at the upper reaches of its range. Check out page 32 for the full sea trial and to see the pictures of the luxury, sporty boat.

It wasn’t a congruence I planned for my 100th issue — Seakeeper coverage in both — but I’ll take it as a good sign.

Another new development we covered in the February 2010 issue was the ability to control Dometic’s and Cruisair’s climate-control systems remotely, via an internet-connected computer...and even a laptop. That was a big deal eight years ago. Now, boat owners can control climate systems, lights, bilge pumps, security systems, circuits and pretty much every system on the boat — from 10 feet or 10,000 miles away — with a smartphone.

Looking at developments today, hydrofoils are gaining prominence the way gyros were eight years ago, so maybe 100 issues from now we’ll print a sea trial of a yacht equipped with secondor third-generation foils. Until then...

POWER TRIP

With 1,050 hp at the transom, this Downeast day cruiser is also a speed demon. become more efficient, reliable and, well, powerful, boat builders have taken advantage. Center console manufacturers especially have stretched the parameters of outboard power, going so far as a 53-footer. Now, a Downeast-style builder is an outboard fan.

MJM Yachts’ new 43z, with a base price of just more than $1 million, comes with triple Mercury Verado 350s, which propel the 46-foot-long, 12-foot-wide yacht to more than 50 mph. Fast cruising will be popular among owners, as the builder says the 43z’s range at 38 mph is 300 miles.

This isn’t the first MJM with outboards — its 29z and 35z both utilize them — but it represents a step in a new direction, appealing to the growing legion of outboard fans.

Adding to their appeal, the outboards are available with Mercury Joystick Piloting as part of the SmartCraft package, which also includes Skyhook, a digital stationkeeping system.

The 43z’s hull — built with epoxy composites to be light and strong — is a Doug Zurn design based on MJM’s 40z hull. Its 45-degree entry gives it sea-cleaving ability. Aft, 18 degrees of deadrise provide a smooth, fast ride. To take care of any side-to-side motion, MJM offers a Seakeeper 5 gyro as an option. While joystick docking is probably enough, a bow thruster is an option. Without an inboard engine, the space under the cockpit sole is a huge storage area.

Side boarding doors provide access to a cockpit that includes a transom bench settee and two seats that face aft. Amidships, a salon consists of two settees that face each other to either side of a table. A captain’s chair faces the helm and a companion chair is across from it to port. The area can be fully enclosed or opened up thanks to three windshield panes that open and roll-down side windows.

Belowdecks, a stateroom and split head are forward, and a galley and dinette are amidships. The dinette can convert to a berth. MJM Yachts, mjmyachts.com

Additional Historic Destinations

Here are a few more destinations that can wet your historical whistle:

DESIGNED TO STAND OUT.

• Puerto Escondido: Take a one-day mountain excursion to miraculous Mission San Javier. Also, Loreto’s downtown is built around the first mission in Baja.

• Mulege: A historic prison sits above town; by day convicts used to roam the streets and knit sweaters they woud sell.

• Santa Rosalia: See Gustav Eiffel’s iron-plate church — how did it end up here? — and a French bakery downtown; plus, tour century-old cave paintings in nearby mountains.

• Mazatlan: The artfully restored “Centro Historico” and Plaza Machado are downtown.

• Barra de Navidad: The beach and lagoon are where Spain’s first Manila galleons were built.

• Manzanillo Bay: Playa La Audencica is where the Spanish recorded their first meeting with Indians. A beach near Las Hadas Marina is where the Chinese landed before Columbus came to New World.

• Acapulco: Starshaped Fuerte San Diego looms over the harbor and contains cannons and a good museum about pirate attacks and Manila galleons. Nearby is the new museum of artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

• Chiapas: The marina offers guided tours to Mayan pyramid ruins at Izapa; the Mayan museum is at nearby Tapachula.

Bay Pier 2 Turtle Who knew that a Japanese fisherman built the town’s big pier? Kondo Masaharu**

wasn’t an ordinary fisherman. He held degrees in fishing and oceanography from Tokyo Imperial University, and had toured the world and studied fisheries technologies. In 1913 he ordered the 60-ton schooner Chistose Maru to sail from Japan to Turtle Bay with 43 Japanese abalone fishermen.

Kondo introduced old skills and tools to a new land. First were glass-bottomed boxes that let his fishermen view the seafloor 25 feet below. Next were long, flexible bamboo poles with a steel hook on the end. Kondo’s men worked two to a boat; one rowed while the other, in a dive suit with heavy metal hood, used the hook. These innovations allowed each boat to pull in a ton of abalone per day.

With funding from Japan, Kondo hired local fishermen to dive for abalone and lobster from Magdalena Bay, Asuncion and Isla Natividad up to Cedros Island. He added tuna fishing with bamboo poles in the 1920s. In 1928 he built the cannery and a 500-foot-long pier, commemorated by five-peso coins stamped “Kondo Bahia Tortugas.” But in 1931, the Mexican government seized the cannery and it burned down. It was rebuilt in 1933 by Mexican interests, and it ceased operation in the 1980s.

Today, boaters regularly take diesel from a 500-foot pier that a Japanese fisherman built. ** San Diego History Center: “Kondo Masaharu and the Best of all Fishermen,” San Diego Historical Society Quarterly Summer 1977, Volume 23, Number 3

Blas 3 San Who remembers the last poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow? Boaters should feel personally addressed, because it begins, “What say the bells of San Blas to the ships that southward pass?” It’s a 20-verse lament of the church’s waning influence, because in 1882 when Longfellow visited San Blas, Nayarit, the Spanish church on the hill was already unattended and in ruins, and he died that same year.

Today, boaters can easily visit the ruins that Longfellow immortalized. Grab a comfy slip in Marina San Blas a mile inside the renovated harbor. The church is one and a half miles away, so take a taxi or walk east on the main highway, but turn right before the bridge and go uphill past the Tovara panga docks and the cemetery.

Longfellow’s church, now Holy Rosary, is on the right and still unattended. It’s a free attraction, so there’s no ticket needed, and it’s a nice place for contemplation. Continue to the top of the cliffs to Fort Basilio park, complete with historic cannons pointed down at the harbor.

Brush & Stow System

303 Metal Polish

Oceanair developed the Brush & Stow system for the special restraints of compact heads aboard yachts. The new cleaning brush is designed to tackle the problems posed by wet-style bathroom designs with limited space. Concealed wall fixings allow the unit to be secured to the wall, creating more floor space and avoiding unwanted spills, avoiding costly foul-water spillage that can cause rot and unwanted odors. A lock-in lid secures the brush and contains unwanted odors; the unit can be disassembled for cleaning. oceanair.co.uk

Protecting a boat’s metal surfaces is a thankless chore, but 303 Metal Polish will help boat owners with the job, returning luster and shine and removing rust on all metal surfaces. Not only does it make metals shine, it polishes, seals and restores metal surfaces.

The polish also removes rust and corrosion and prevents future damage. And thanks to Golden Eagle’s experience, 303 Metal Polish is safe for marine environments. goldeneagle.com

THE EXPERTS

By DEANE HISLOP

ONE OF THE UNSUNG HEROES The coolant recovery bottle is important. Treat it that way.

AN ENGINE’S COOLANT RECOVERY bottle is the window to its cooling system.

Make sure the one on your boat is properly installed and in good working order, and it may very well alert you to problems long before they otherwise manifest.

The coolant recovery bottle’s primary purpose is to capture expanding coolant, as well as keep the cooling system from ingesting air, which could lead to pump cavitation and overheating. Among the recovery bottle’s most valuable traits, however, is its ability to alert the user to trouble within the system. If, for instance, the level drops steadily over time, it’s an indication that coolant is leaking from the system, and that it’s being “consumed” from the bottle. You should never have to add coolant to the system once it’s undergone the first few operating cycles.

It comes as a surprise to many users that the bottle’s coolant level should fluctuate during an operating cycle, which is from cold startup to full operating temperature and back to cold. The level of coolant in the recovery bottle should rise as the engine reaches operating temperature, and once the engine is shut down and cools off, it should drop back to its original starting level. Mark the cool level, so irregularities are easier to note. If there is no movement, or if it drops below the starting level, it’s an indication of a problem. No movement often indicates a problem with the pressure cap fill neck port, which is connected to the bottle via a hose. The hose sometimes becomes clogged with debris, may crack, or be crushed or breached.

In other cases, a lack of intra–heating cycle movement may indicate a defective pressure cap. Its internal mechanism is somewhat delicate and can cease to retain a vacuum, which is necessary to draw coolant from the bottle to the expansion tank during the cool-off period. When the system is cool, remove and inspect the cap to ensure its gaskets are clean and free of tears or other damage. Inspect the

Don’t neglect the boat’s engine coolant recovery bottle, because it’s the window to the engine’s cooling system.

Because the bottle operates on the principles of pressure and vacuum, gravity plays little or no role in its proper operation. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, the bottle need not be placed above the engine. If it is, opening the pressure cap for inspection purposes virtually

guarantees that coolant will overflow from the expansion tank filler neck. Ideally, the bottle should be placed such that the cold coolant fill mark is roughly level with the height of the pressure cap. The hose should be routed in such a way to avoid blocking a thoroughfare and prevent damage from chafe or being stepped on. Finally, while it’s ubiquitous, clear PVC hose should not be used to connect the recovery bottle to the expansion tank. PVC hose lacks the chafe, temperature, crush and kink resistance necessary for this vital application. Instead, a more rugged, coolant-resistant hose such as Type B fuel line should be used.

ASK THE EXPERTS in terms of the computer, Word, email, websites and Facebook. Though I do wish there was a mandatory 10-minute delay fuse that required a third-party review before hitting send.

But it’s the websites that infuriate me the most. Start at any website and find the heading that says Contact Us. Open it.

Generally you’ll find a telephone number that dropkicks you to Bulgaria; a street address such as 10000 Important Street, Suite A, which means it’s a mail-drop; or an email address — now that you’re aware of the other choices.

First you get to enter your name and email address, which is tantamount to reaching the secretary who says, “Who’s calling? I’ll see if he’s in.”

“No, you see if he’s in and then I’ll tell you who’s calling. He gets to make the same choice, but on my terms.”

After your email and physical addresses

(no P.O. boxes), there’s a block where you’re asked to describe why you’re contacting the recipient. This block generally doesn’t let you know until you’ve typed 17 sentences that there is a 125-character limit, which explains why pushing Send does nothing.

You return to a blank block, compose your thoughts in terms of 125 and do things their way. You get “Thanks! We’ll get back to you in one business day!”

My thought? If you believe that, go get a lounge chair, a dorm refrigerator for food and a long straw for liquids — not to mention a portable commode — because the people who write these things have no concept of time.

Here’s a list of non-responders I’ve encountered:  Two senators and a bunch of representatives, though to be fair they may have feared I was suing them for some sort of harassment and didn’t want to reply.



The local BBB and Chamber of Commerce, regarding a telephone company.  The customer service department of that telephone company.  Last night’s tally of 19 manufacturers who wanted me to review the products I purchased from them.  Finally a distributor of a dog-training collar, to whom I responded with a humorous tale of putting the collar on my wife first, since she was afraid it might hurt the dog. It was really funny — even The Nurse thought so — but no response to Contact Us. So, after all these years of extoling the virtues of writing to Contact Us, I have been hoisted by my own petards.

Apparently we — the ones who pay the salaries of those who don’t respond — don’t count. If it saddens you, contact me. I have a broad shoulder.

OCEAN ALEXANDER 90R

The luxury builder delivers more of the unexpected with a 90-footer whose appearance doesn’t fit the OA mold.

OCEA N ALEX A NDER IS AT it again. And by “at it,” we mean it’s doing the unexpected. In 2016, the builder introduced the 70e, which utilizes pod-drive propulsion and is manufactured at OA’s Florida boatbuilding facility. Quite the shift for a fairly traditional Taiwanbased builder. Now comes the OA 90r, which uses a shaft-drive system and is built in Taiwan, but it looks nothing like any other yacht Ocean Alexander has built.

perhaps the highlight of the yacht — quite a distinction on a yacht with plenty of owner-pleasing features — is the beach club at the stern.

Built into the space where some yachts might have a tender garage or a large lazarette is a salon-like room whose glass aft wall includes two sliding doors that open the space to the air and water. An L-settee and ottoman-sized table offer seating, and a console to starboard houses a sink and a refrigerator. As an added bonus, the ceiling of the space is glass, adding to the indoor/ outdoor effect. The large power swim platform can house a tender.

Belowdecks can be outfitted with three or four staterooms, with a second master being an option. On the main deck, the salon, dining area and galley are seamlessly integrated, though panels allow the galley to be closed off when called for.

Hull #1 is expected to be complete in November of this year.

SEA TRIAL

By MIKE WERLING

PRINCESS S60

Sportboat sensibilities meet luxury design and stout seakeeping ability.

as we neared the mouth of Newport Harbor: The six-foot swell the marine forecast called for was spot on. Minutes later, traveling at about 25 knots, another thing became clear, as the wall of water approached us on the flybridge: The rest of the sea trial would be conducted from the lower helm, in wet clothes. It was that kind of day. Six-footers at about seven seconds with some wind-blown waves added for good measure. We — myself, Ben Masonheimer and Scott Bruce from Silver Seas Yachts, and a husband and wife interested in the yacht — were going to see what the Princess S60 could handle.

Manufacturer testing of the sleek S60 had yielded a top speed just shy of 44 mph for the nearly 63-footer, at which point the MAN V8-1200 diesels were burning a combined 122 gph. We stopped shy of that on test day, due to the conditions, but we still managed to reach 36.5 mph before deciding to back down after cresting a 6-foot swell and finding the next one waiting just off the bow. A few minutes later at a speed around 30 mph, we took a wave in such a way that we were weightless for just a second — rear ends lifted off seats — and while the landing was hard, the rigid resin-infused hull handled it well: shuddering slightly, recovering quickly and moving on to the next wave.

ONE THING BECA ME CLEAR

Whether done in American walnut or lighter oak, the Princess 60’s interior exudes luxury, even at the decidedly modern helm.

32 SEAMAGAZINE.COM MAY 2018

+ Sea Trial Princess.indd 32

4/2/18 3:18 PM

Princess tests found that the range from 28.7 mph to top speed was essentially the same, 206 to 207 miles, with a fuel burn of 81 gph at 28.7 mph and 97.7 gph at 34.5 mph. Slowed down to 23 mph, the twin MAN diesels burned 60 gph, for a range of 226 miles.

Range jumped to 301 miles at 17.2 mph. At roughly trawler speed, 11 mph, the S60 stretches its range to 638 miles.

I’ve tested several boats equipped with a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer and have always been impressed by the gyro’s performance, even though we often had to use the boat’s own wake or the wake from a passing boat to give it a challenge. This test day was different.

Silver Seas’ Bruce put the S60 beam-to the big swell and disengaged the gyro, at which point the occupants held on a little tighter.

I sat on the port side with my back to the swell, and suddenly I was looking down into the water out of the starboard windows, and then up toward the clouds. This went on for a minute or so while Masonheimer, up on the flybridge, took video of the yacht’s roll. Then, Bruce reengaged the gyro, and suddenly the roll was nearly eliminated. The Seakeeper fought hard to keep the boat level, and on the couple of occasions the ocean managed to roll us to starboard, the gyro had things leveled out before the boat could roll to port.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM MAY 2018 33

+ Sea Trial Princess.indd 33

4/2/18 8:59 AM

While I doubt many S60 owners would venture out on such a day — the boat is meant for sportier, recreational pursuits — they can rest easy knowing stabilization is available, if they opt for it. The Seakeeper 9 isn’t an inexpensive option, at a retail price of just more than $73,000, but if a member of the family has a propensity toward seasickness or an owner wants to fish all day in sloppy water and not feel beat up that night, the gyro will seem like a bargain.

At the stern, this three-stateroom, two-head flybridge (Sportbridge, in Princess parlance) yacht shows one of its true missions: to facilitate watersports. The 4-and-a-half-foot deep swim platform is a hydraulically capable teak stage for a tender or a PWC. It lowers into the water for launch and retrieval or to create a submerged beach.

Several builders have implemented similar swim platforms, which buyers have welcomed, but Princess took the arrangement a step further. Built into a big transom console, the top of which hosts a three- or four-person sun lounge, is a garage for an additional tender or PWC. Princess is offering Williams jet tenders to owners, which will fit nicely in the garage without an outboard, but buyers can choose any tender. They can put an outboard tender on the swim platform and house a PWC in the garage, which includes an electric winch for easy launch and retrieval.

Up steps to either side of the garage console is the main deck.

The cockpit includes a C-shaped settee with a table at the transom, which backs up to the sun lounge. An optional cockpit joystick docking station is available. All the way forward is another sun lounge and a forward-facing settee. It’s one of four outdoor social spaces on the yacht.

In the main cabin, 10 people can comfortably sit and converse, on an L-shaped settee aft opposite the galley, a C-shaped settee to port forward of the galley and in twin captain’s chairs at the starboard-side helm. Both settees feature contrasting hand-stitched detailing and have a table; the folding one aft is more suited for dining. Opposite the C-settee, just aft of the captain’s chairs, is a

A window swings out and up to open the galley to the cockpit and a countertop out there.

At the ergonomic helm, black fiberglass and hand-stitched leather combine with stainless steel and American walnut (a lighter oak is an option) to create a contemporary and fully functioning nerve center. A leather and stainless steering wheel emanates from its own pod at the center, and forward of it are twin Garmin multifunction displays. (Other electronics manufacturers’ products are an option.)

A Raymarine screen is to starboard as an engine display. Switches, thruster controls, tab controls and more flank the wheel on a flattish section of dash. The engine throttles are on a flat dash extension, so they are easier to reach for a seated captain.

The master stateroom spans the beam amidships. Its en suite head — basin sink, stone vanity, marine toilet, standup glass-enclosed shower stall — is in the companionway that goes from the landing to the room itself. An optional stacked washer/dryer can be housed in a closet opposite the head.

The berth resides on the centerline, against a room-spanning headboard that is upholstered at head level, with a two-foot strip of mirror atop that and upholstered above that. A sofa and a built-in end table share the port side, beneath a long hull window, while a bureau shares the starboard side with a hanging locker and an identical hull window. A TV is mounted flush to the room’s forward wall, but given the size of the hull windows, the better show will often be outside the boat.

Belowdecks, three staterooms are accessed from a landing at the bottom of centerline steps from the main cabin.

Forward is the VIP stateroom. Its island queen berth rests between two bed-length

Set in the bow, the VIP stateroom is sure to please guests.

Up top, the Sportbridge is an outdoor social zone with seating for at least eight people on an aft settee with a teak table, twin captain’s chairs to port and a companion settee that converts to a sunpad opposite the helm, which mirrors the lower helm in terms of MFDs, steering wheel and engine controls. A wet bar resides between the settees and houses a sink, a top-loading built-in cooler, storage and an optional grill. Who wouldn’t get the grill? Our test boat had an optional hardtop.

Overall, the Princess S60 feels like a sportboat that has been stretched, widened, made taller and given a luxury interior. Its aggressive lines are enhanced by trapezoidal hull windows — knife-shaped ones forward point onward and imply motion — and a cabin roof that slopes aft until it meets the flybridge windscreen. Those lines are matched by a top speed north of 40 mph.

As I found out on test day, the S60 does more than just look good. It deals with 6-foot seas with aplomb, and its resin-infused hull handles hard landings nicely.

For a family or retired folks who like to invite friends aboard for island weekends, the S60 will provide the social areas for together time and the personal space for alone time.

It excels as an entertainer and a weekender.

Oh, and it tops 52 mph.

ONE MIGHT EXPECT TO see (or not see) inboard or sterndrive engines on a 38-foot boat that’s

12 and a half feet on the beam, but outboards are becoming increasingly popular on boats in that size range, and even larger. And Chris-Craft wants its buyers to have options, so it offers I/O and outboard packages on its Launch 38.

from Mercury. Twin Mercury V-8 8.2L 380 hp I/Os are standard, while twin 430s from Mercury and Volvo are optional, in addition to twin 380s, 370s and 400s from Volvo.

The last two options are diesel. It’s obvious Chris-Craft wants buyers to be comfortable with their power choice.

aren’t nearly as loud as they used to be but still manage to emit a low, satisfying growl — pushed the 38-footer past 50 mph, very close to the 52 mph the Yamaha folks experienced when they gathered data for their Performance Bulletin. Given that, I’m going to use the Performance Bulletin numbers.

At a top speed of 52.4 mph, the Yamahas were burning a combined 78.1 gph at 5900 rpm. The most efficient cruise speed was 34 mph, which had the F300s turning at 4000 rpm and burning 35.4 gph, for 0.96 mpg.

Fuel burn was 47.1, 55.9 and 69.5 gph at 39.9, 44.4 and 48.8 mph, respectively.

Making sure 10 people are holding on takes a minute, but once we were certain all passengers were ready, we cut the wheel hard and carved a nice, tight turn. The sportboat lean had us looking down into the water or up into the sky, depending on one’s positioning, and while the wake likely won’t accommodate surfing, both casual wakeboarding and skiing could be on the docket.

The Euro hardtop provides a sleek profile to the Launch 38. For sun worshippers, the bow sun lounge will be the hub of activity.

New and eye-catching is the Euro hardtop; its curved and stainless steel–framed windshield is severely swept back and its lines give the boat a sleek profile. A motorized SureShade extends from the aft end, but the structure doesn’t wrap around the sides, so plenty of breeze gets to the occupants of the triple captain’s chairs, which was much appreciated on a hot Florida day.

(Redundant?) Those chairs front the center console, which is raised a step from the cockpit, to create clearance in the belowdecks sleeping space. A small section with cupholders and a tinted sunroof to below is to port, a sliding tinted-glass door to the cabin is in the center, and the helm occupies the starboard third.

Twin flush-mount Garmin GPSmap XSV multifunction displays occupy the sloped dash. Above them are engine gauges. On a small flat section to port (though I’ve seen it to starboard on other 38s) is the Optimus 360 joystick, which makes docking a breeze, and on sloped faces to either side of the wooden and stainless steering wheel are a stereo head unit and the engine throttles.

Once the bow levels out on plane, the driver’s view all around is excellent. So is access to the bow. Sidedecks to either side, which are elevated two steps from the helm area, to create headroom in the cabin below, are easy to transit, and a safety rail runs from just aft of amidships to the bow.

Yes, the boat has lots of power. Yes, the helm has the latest electronics and a joystick. But at its heart, the Launch 38 is a big dayboat and entertainer, and the Euro hardtop (or any of the other hardtop options) enhances that activity, as it covers the helm and the forward half of the cockpit, which includes an outdoor galley unit. An optional power SureShade extends that coverage to

4/2/18 6:22 AM

At its heart, the Launch 38 is a big dayboat and entertainer the aft settee, when passengers want it.

The galley unit — built into the same console that serves as the base for the helm seats — is going to be the center of activity on the boat. Under an easy-to-lift gasassisted lid is a grill, a sink with a spigot and a two-burner cooktop. Built into the base of the unit are more make-the-day-last-longer amenities, including a refrigerator, an ice-maker and a microwave, each with its own access door.

Aft of the galley is a settee that is split into two halves by the walkthrough from the swim platform. A table rises up out of the deck at the push of a button and folds open to double its size. With room for two people in full lounging mode, four people in comfort mode or six people in cozy mode, the settees will comprise the main social zone on the boat. Unless it doesn’t. By that I mean some folks might prefer the bow, where a big sun lounge — easily room for three or four people — and a rear-facing bench settee create a comfortable and breezy conversation pit. An optional Bimini top and six cupholders enhance the comfort level on the bow.

Belowdecks is where the Launch 38, whose base outboard price starts north of $530,000, separates itself from many of its competitors. Down a set of teak steps is a split head — toilet and sink to starboard, shower stall to port — a queen berth forward, and two more berths aft, under the helm and galley area. A single berth is to starboard and opposite that is a full-size berth. Both include a reading light and a nightstand is between them.

The island berth in the bow is tucked into a cocoon of dark wood, white fiberglass and dark brown upholstered rails. An opening porthole at the head opens to the upright backrest of the sun lounge but can be covered to preserve darkness below. A TV occupies the starboard head’s bulkhead.

The Launch 38, the second-largest boat in the 142-year-old builder’s lineup, is built to do what Chris-Craft boats have always been

built to do: safely and comfortably host a group of people — it’s rated for a 15-passenger capacity, and all of them will have a place for their rear end — for an enjoyable day on the water. Its outdoor galley unit makes it possible to keep everyone fed and hydrated, and an extendable SureShade aft and a Bimini on the bow ensure folks who want sun can get it and those who don’t can take cover. But it can do more than be a dayboat.

With a group of four or five people, this big dayboat/center console/bowrider/entertainer becomes a weekender (or longer) that can still do all of the other stuff. The outboard version takes advantage of the unoccupied engine space for lots of storage for coolers, toys, food and drinks. And given the Yamahas’ fuel efficiency, even at a cruise speed of 34 mph the boat’s range is more than 240 miles, so island-hopping is a definite possibility.

D E TA I L S Standard Equipment Twin 380 hp Mercury V-8 8.2L inboards, teak accents and grabrails, trim tabs, canvas Bimini top, AC/heat, grill, ice-maker, refrigerator, stovetop, water heater, 6 kw genset, Tecma head and much more.

SINGLE-MINDED PURSUIT The crew of Wild Blue have one thing in mind during their Sea of Cortez cruise: catch fish and eat fish. OK, that’s two things, but they’re definitely related.

We first met Alex Benson and his Selene 53, Wild Blue, in the March 2017 issue of Sea, when we published excerpts from his blog that chronicled his fishing adventure with a few of his old college buddies and his time with folks he calls the Ocean People. In the 2017 story, Benson and his pals fished for salmon in the Sitka, Alaska, area.

In this follow-up story, we find him and his crew of three, Gerard Ages, Ken Bruton, AJ Jennings, fishing the Sea of Cortez — for anything that will bite.

The crew of Wild Blue,, Ken Bruton (kneeling), Gerard Ages and AJ Jennings, celebrate their arrival in Mexico at La Paz before heading out on the Sea of Cortez for a week of fishing. Jennings (above right) shows off a barred pargo snapper he caught.

O

ne a.m. Saturday morning. A three-hour ride to LAX from the San Luis Obispo area. Ken Bruton is driving his big diesel truck while Gerard Ages, AJ Jennings and Capt. Alex Benson are along for the ride.

Ken and Gerard have crewed on Wild Blue before, and they added AJ. This crew is along only to catch fish and eat fish.

By 6:30 a.m., we have checked wetsuits, rods, spear guns, masks, snorkels, reels, and lures and are boarding an Alaska Air jet to Los Cabos Airport. This early flight is one of the first flights of the day into Cabo, which means the Customs crowd in Mexico should be small.

Our Uber driver — another Alex — meets us at the curb just after 11 a.m. local time and we settle in for the more than two-hour ride to La Paz. In the old days, before Los Cabos Airport and the Cabo San Lucas explosion, La Paz was the tourist destination and many airlines serviced LAP with direct flights from the States. Now the best way to get there is by walking across the border from San Diego CBX to Tijuana Airport. It’s inexpensive, nonstop and fast, but still about a six-hour drive from the Central California Coast.

Alex the Uber driver speaks English and Spanish fluently, besides holding a degree in marine biology.

So while he works on his master’s degree, he drives for a living and talks fish along the way. The crew mines Alex for the latest fishing techniques and information.

The fish talk is stimulating and this crew won’t nap, even after having been awake for the past 11 hours!

Once at the boat, we drop off the gear and Alex drops us at the dive shop in downtown La Paz. We say goodbye; he says good luck.

However, Gerard’s social media use flourishes when the topic is fishing. Well before he boarded the plane to Baja, Gerard had texted, emailed and called his numerous fishing friends to find out who had recently fished Baja.

Like a gemologist, he mined their minds for locations, techniques, lures, bait, rods and reels. As word spread that Gerard was coming to Baja, it was no surprise to the rest of us that he had already arranged a rendezvous with Kevin on the sailing vessel Little Haste, an

Kevin owns many boats, but a majority are commercial tourist vessels that operate out of Morro Bay. Whale watching slows during the winter months, so Kevin and crew get on Little Haste in Baja and cruise the Sea of Cortez. He’s been out for a couple of weeks now and has fishing and diving tips to share. He texts Gerard his coordinates via Garmin’s In-Reach Satellite Communicator, and our media-connected crewman directs our course. Soon we arrive in Ensenada del Candelero Bay and set the hook next to Little Haste and crew. We invite them aboard for a fishing summit. They

They recommend Isla San Francisco and Isla Las Animas. They loan us a spare spear gun rubber band and give us their remaining fresh food.

With five lures on the drag, it’s a wonder we’re not filling the freezer. We arrive in the dark to more than enough boats at anchor in Isla San Francisco’s big bay, so instead we anchor near the wall in the indentation just west of the big anchorage. Our LED floods light up the shore — and wake up the panguero fishermen previously asleep on shore.

Gerard and AJ snorkel the wall and connect with a few small fish. Ken and Alex troll Isla SF’s east side, with Rapalas, close to shore. Soon a good-sized cabrilla eats it up and Ken lands a tasty fish, aka “chocolate,” as another gringo watches from a passing dinghy. He calls over his congratulations. Shortly thereafter he lifts a rather large cabrilla, just to help keep our ego in check.

In our experience, and that of many others, accurate charts are a rarity in Baja. Our C-Map and Navionics electronic charts look good, but their depth readings are not even close. Worse, some land masses are up to a mile away from where the electronic chart shows them. Typically the Baja peninsula land mass is close to actual position, but the reefs and islands are not close.

Some well-traveled islands, such as Espiritu and San Francisco, are near accurate, but Las Animas is close

endezvous is an oddly spelled word that is singularly plural — like deer or moose but, curiously, not dear or mousse — and holds the potential for intrigue and secrecy.

In the world of boating, however, a rendezvous holds the potential for fun. They’re held up and down the West Coast all summer, and they’re the events many boat owners most look forward to during the season, some owners going so far as to use a rondy event as a jumping-off point for a larger adventure.

As an excuse for getting together with like-minded individuals, rendezvous are as good as anything. Boat owners can swap stories, tips, techniques, advice and “compete” with one another, usually only for bragging rights. Some events even offer educational seminars and classes, with manufacturer representatives, safety experts, engine reps and others.

Starting now (last month, actually) and going through October, our cruising grounds are active with rendezvous events. Read our list and see which one is right for you.

The Aspen rendezvous brings together cat owners from throughout the Northwest for dockside festivities and socializing.

Legends are larger than life.

It needs to be even better.

Here’s the thing. You don’t become a legend by being content with the status quo. When Dick Bertram produced the deep-vee hull on the original Moppie, it was a total revelation.

And each subsequent model broke new barriers, pushing performance into uncharted waters.

Naturally, the new Bertram Yachts are a total departure. The newest incarnation takes another surprising turn, which isn’t so unexpected, is it? Sure, it’s based on the timeless, original deep-vee design.

The superior performance and reliability are straight from Bertram’s roots. But everything else, you’ll find bolder and better, with design, detail and craftsmanship on a completely new level.

Here is a vessel that blows everything you’ve ever experienced at its size, and everything we’ve ever made, straight out of the water.

This is a Bertram in every sense of the word, including the part where it’s like nothing that’s come before it.

in truth it’s been used to locate fish for eons — mostly by dolphins and whales. It was only a matter of time and technology, though, before humankind picked up on this highly effective method of underwater echolocation, and we’ve now been refining it for more than a century.

Modern sonar is an American invention first applied to the high seas in 1906 by naval architect Lewis Nixon to detect icebergs. During the first and second world wars, development speeded up when finding submarines and mines became the imperative. Shortly thereafter, in 1948, a pair of brothers with the last name Furuno invented sonar specifically designed to target fish.

S I N C E T H E N W E ’ V E C O M E A L O N G , L O N G W AY.

SONAR SCIENCE All sonar works on the same basic principle: the part of the system called a transducer sends a ping out into the water and then listens for the signal to bounce back to the boat. It’s not much different than standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, yelling and listening for the echo. Except the human brain doesn’t have a computer that notes the amount of time the echo takes to bounce back and then uses that information to calculate the distance to the other side of the canyon. Nor can we listen acutely enough to notice the tiny return echo created by something between us and that far-off wall, such as a bird. But today’s sonar units are so good at listening that they can hear the ping’s reflection off a mere minnow, and can calculate its exact depth even if that minnow is just inches above the bottom.

Crystals inside the transducer can create and detect minute vibrations, and they serve as the mouth and the ears of a modern yacht’s sonar. They’re made of polarized barium titanate or lead zarconate titanate disks or rings and coated in silver (called a piezo­ceramic element). The larger they are, the louder they can shout and the better they can hear.

Through time sonar experts discovered that the performance of a piezoceramic element can be tweaked by “shouting” at different frequencies. Sending out high-frequency pings allows for the detection of the tiniest items in the water, but the higher the frequency, the more limited its range. Deep baritone signals, on the other hand, may roll right over small items without being bounced back, but they gain maximum distance.

The general range for modern fishfinder frequencies

can go as low as 40 or 50 kHz, which may see to thousands of feet, depending on conditions, and as high as 800 kHz, which is usually limited to a couple of hundred feet or less.

The other piece of the sonar puzzle lies in that magic box sitting at the helm station. The brains of the unit use time-distance calculations to determine how far down the bottom is and take note of every item in between, whether it’s a tilapia or a tree branch.

Software engineers have spent countless hours creating filters for interference — objects such as bubbles, jellyfish and even concentrations of plankton can get in the way — using color to reflect target strength on the screen, and mastering algorithms that can determine and display details such as bottom type.

SONAR STYLES As sonar has become more and more advanced, different genres have been born, most of them just in the past decade or so. Plenty of modern fishfinders also combine two or more different types in a single unit, though it should be noted that in some cases multiple types require multiple transducers. Sonar styles include: • Standard sonar • CHIRP sonar • Imagers (also called Scanners) • Side-finders • 3-D Fishfinders Standard sonar is still available in many forms, and it’s no wonder, since down-looking sonar pinging through the water in the 200 kHz range remains one of

the most versatile forms of finding fish. Virtually all sounders, even the least expensive units, offer color screens that allow users to differentiate between the bait and the bruisers via target strength, using hot colors such as red to indicate strong returns and cool colors such as blue or green to indicate weaker returns. Most also offer dual frequencies, with 50 kHz performance for use in deeper water, since the 200 kHz range offers a good combination of depth penetration and detail but tends to fade out in waters deeper than about 700 to 800 feet. Many modern units also offer some sort of CHIRP functionality (see next paragraph), to one degree or another.

CHIRP sonar borrows an acronym from the world of radar and is a bit of a misnomer, as CHIRP stands for “compressed high intensity radar pulse.” Essentially, units that utilize what we call CHIRP in the sonar world ping through a series of frequencies in rapid succession. When CHIRP was first introduced, the 28 to 210 kHz frequency range was standard, but today different systems may utilize any number of

different frequency spreads.

Unfortunately, the term CHIRP has become somewhat abused in the industry. Units as inexpensive as $100 sweep through a kHz range with a spread as limited as 20 to 50 kHz, and “CHIRP” gets stamped on the box, even though there’s little, if any, true advantage to using the tiny frequency range. In its more potent forms, however, true CHIRP functionality does gain some serious fish-finding ability. It can separate targets as close as an inch apart (as opposed to six or eight inches apart for some standard sonar), it can ping

through amazingly deep water (sometimes even to 10,000 feet) and it can vastly improve high-speed operation.

Imagers and Scanners utilize much higher frequency ranges, anywhere from 350 to 800 kHz, and many also offer dual-frequency functionality (e.g., 455/800 kHz). Such high frequencies allow the unit to take a far more detailed picture of what lies below, and in many cases can display it onscreen at a shocking detail level. If standard sonar delivers an X-ray of what lies beneath the boat, Imager/Scanners are more like an MRI.

Cruise over a wreck, and instead of there being a blob onscreen, the cabin top, the rails sitting on the deck and the anchor on its pulpit are shown in detail.

The detail does, however, come with a limitation. Range is drastically reduced, in some cases to as little as 100 to 150 feet for frequencies at the higher end of this spread.

(Remember that exact range will always depend, to some degree, on conditions such as water clarity or salinity.) Another downside is that many fish species provide a better target for lower frequency pings and quite often make for a weak return at

such high frequencies. This is why many anglers who use units with both standard and imager functionality will peer into the depths with both units active at the same time and the LCD in split-screen mode.

Then they can see structure in the exceptional detail provided by the imager and at the same time utilize the fish-spotting prowess of the standard sonar’s frequency.

BEAM WIDTH: This describes the effective angle of the sound waves produced by the transducer. Narrow beam performance delivers more energy in a focused manner while wide beams broadcast farther out to the sides, akin to shining a spotlight vs. a floodlight.

to work with the higher frequency ranges to provide maximum detail at relatively short distances and are most similar to Imager/Scanners. But there are some downsides to utilizing side-finding technology. The first is the confusion it can cause an operator, until he gets used to looking in multiple directions instead of just one. The second is the need for a large LCD screen that can be split to provide multiple views at once, since side-finders are almost always best used in tandem with a down-looking view.

3-D Fishfinders are the latest and greatest in sonar tech. And while they may seem gimmicky at first, they can actually be quite useful for anglers. These units utilize both side-looking and down-looking Imager/Scanner beams to knit together a 3-D underwater view. Since the user can rotate the TO THE WEB view around an object or a school of fish, it’s very FurunoUSA.com helpful when trying to picture the orientation of Garmin.com a piece of structure, or the relationship between Humminbird.com a school of fish and something like a drop-off or Raymarine.com a wreck. Added bonus: today’s units can “look” at Simrad-Yachting.com something in 3-D mode and allow the user to set a waypoint right on top of it. Then the boat owner can bring it up on the chartplotter and navigate directly to a wreck — or even a specific portion of or position over that wreck — before dropping lines.

THE HARD TRUTH Figuring out the different types of sonar is only the first step. The next item to consider is the box these systems come in — not the cardboard box sitting on the store shelf, but the box of magic that gets mounted at the helm station. The actual hardware hasn’t changed much in recent years, as most of the developments in sonar have taken place in the software realm (although new transducers have been necessary to harness these developments). There have been a few tweaks, however, that have made life with modern sonar significantly better.

The first lies in the LCD screen. Most of us remember the days when looking at a display from an angle was impossible, especially while wearing polarized sunglasses, because the screen turned black with glare. Many units built in the past couple of years, however, have completely eliminated this problem. A technology called in-plane switching (IPS) is the key. Older screens were normally of the twisted nematic (TN) type, since TN screens are faster, less expensive 56

and have better contrast. At least, they used to offer all these advantages. IPS screens have been around for years but only recently have the latest versions been able to match TN screens on these counts. Add in the wide viewing angles IPS screens offer — up to 170 degrees — and they become superior for marine use.

Another hardware advancement that has boosted sonar’s utility is the inclusion of Wi-Fi in most MFD units. Even some units in the mid- to low price ranges now incorporate Wi-Fi, which allows users to do cool tricks such as display a fishfinder on a cellphone or iPad. More importantly, however, is the fact that it also allows for seamless, painless, effortless software upgrades. Users can set up their system so that any time their MFD has a link to a hotspot, the latest and greatest software advances get sucked down from the cloud.

Finally, we all benefit from the falling cost of tech.

Unlike most other products, prices tend to fall as

technology ages. A few years ago, boat owners had to pay many thousands of dollars to get a unit with a large screen and all these bells and whistles. Today the same screen sizes cost a fraction of what they once did. And when it comes to sonar, bigger screens are always better, since they allow for more splitting and better detail.

Which sonar is the best choice? To a great degree it’s little more than a matter of personal preference. All of the major manufacturers in today’s highly competitive sonar market produce systems that are light-years ahead of those made just a short while ago. But no matter the unit chosen, one thing is for sure: In the past century sonar tech has progressed by leaps and bounds, and pretty soon we’ll even be able to give those dolphins and whales a run for their money.

It’s a common occurrence, and the guidebooks recommend moving 4 miles west to Cabeza de Mehudo when the middle-of-the-night westerlies blow up. We planned on leaving at 4 a.m., but by 3 a.m.

Alex has had enough. He starts the engine and wakes the crew. Most report for night duty as we raise the anchor and retrace our course around Isla SF in the darkness, eventually pointing toward La Paz. We hope to be in by 8 a.m., but the westerlies again switch south and we have wind and waves on the nose. Still, we clear the Costa Baja breakwater by 8:30, which gives us time to clean the boat and take in the last day of Carnival La Paz. It was great fun again being on the water with three good fisherman. It will take some time to recover from the little bit of fun we had this week.

QUICK ESCAPE

REASON FOR DAYTRIPPING

Vendovi Island is an excellent day trip for boaters who want peace and quiet in nature.

EDITED BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

LOCATED 7 MILES NORTH OF our homeport of Anacortes, Wash., is Vendovi Island Preserve. In need of some quiet quality time, Arlene and I headed for Easy Goin’, tossed the lines and set a course for the 217-acre island situated between Guemes and Lummi islands. The island is a portion of the San Juan Island Trust, and to manage the delicate balance between protecting the ecological integrity and human enjoyment, the preserve is open to boaters only Thursday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during May through September.

We were two and half miles out when we ran into a thick fog bank. We made the balance of the passage with the aid of the electronics and a heightened awareness. We eased our way to the north side of the island and the wide, stable 75-foot concrete dock behind a rock breakwater. It was at the bottom of a -0.7 tide and we only had seven feet of water depth.

The moorage is on both sides of the dock on a first-come, first-served basis.

There is no overnight moorage or camping, and the nearest moorage can be found 3.7 miles to the west at Eagle Harbor on Cypress Island.

The only inhabitants, other than the wildlife, are the caretakers who live in a home that overlooks the tiny harbor. In addition to greeting boats at the dock and answering questions, the caretakers conduct the maintenance and repairs of trails, buildings, systems and machinery.

They also conduct guided tours and beach cleanups.

With Easy Goin’ secure, we donned our walking shoes to explore the island. At the head of the dock ramp is a kiosk with a sign-in sheet and island rules and information, including a map of the island and its better than 3 miles of well-groomed trails.

The main loop trail is 2 miles in length and traverses the island through lush forest alive with singing birds. The highest point of the island is 330 feet, making for easy walking. At Sunrise and Sunset beaches there are tide pools to examine.

The history of Vendovi is quite intriguing. The earliest inhabitants were the Salish Native Americans who once used the island as a seasonal fishing camp. The camp’s location can still be seen today in the form of a midden on the west side of the

island at Sunset Beach.

The name Vendovi came from the Wilkes Expedition in 1841.

A Fijian chief named Ro Veidovi was believed to have ordered the killing of the crew of a whaling ship, with at least one of the crewmembers reportedly having been cannibalized. When the expedition passed through the South Pacific, the chief was captured and taken aboard to stand trial in the United States. During the exploration trip from the South Pacific to New York via the Pacific Northwest, to ease the chief’s sorrow after the death of the ship’s pilot, who had become the chief’s friend and translator, Wilkes named the island Vendovi, a variation of the Fijian pronunciation of Veidovi.

By the 1880s homesteading was bringing families to the island.

By the 1900s the island had been logged, although small patches of old-growth trees still remain scattered on the island. In the 1920s the Vendovi Island Fur Farm raised foxes.

A memorial site still remains on the island for John Fluke Sr., who died in 1984, with a granite memorial commemorating his life.

In 2010, the Fluke family put the island up for auction, where the private non-profit land conservancy, San Juan Island Preservation Trust and an anonymous benefactor, won the bidding.

CRUISING WITH GUESTS Having other people aboard requires advanced planning and polished procedures.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

IF YOU HAVE A BOAT and cruise to interesting locations, sooner or later a family member or friend will want to join a cruise. Having guests aboard can be stressful. It requires forethought and adjustments in routine to ensure that it’s a fun visit for all.

First, a caveat: If overnight guests aren’t your thing, no problem. Know what makes you happy and how you can share space.

For many of us, boating is a way to escape — and that’s OK. For a successful experience with nonboating guests aboard, whether for a short tour of local waters or for an extended multiple-night excursion, managing expectations and fostering communication are important factors for success. To assist in a successful visit, most boaters have guidelines to make visits go smoothly, because it’s all about being a good host. For us, their first impression reminds us how lucky we are to own a boat. It’s important to be clear with guests about the limitations of boat travel in order to keep expectations reasonable. Share the itinerary and activities with guests well ahead of time, and share when and where you can match their expectations.

There is a whole spectrum of topics that should be discussed beforehand: soft rollup luggage; appropriate clothing, foul-weather gear, and even what you supply, such as lifejackets, towels, linens, sun and insect protection. Plus, make clear crew daily duties and responsibilities, from cleaning to tending lines.

WHAT THEY NEED & DON’T Space is limited on board, so guests need to bring their personal items in a soft-sided bag, such as a sports bag or day pack. On most boats each berth will have at least a drawer or two, or possibly some hanging locker space available for guests. Once the contents of the duffel bag are stowed away, the soft-sided bag can be rolled up and stuffed into any nook or cranny to get it out of the way.

Because of the limited space aboard, let guests know what to bring and what to leave behind. Power is generally limited, so curling irons and hair dryers should be left behind. Be sure they bring a camera with a charging cord and good polarized sunglasses, rain gear and sunscreen. Also, don’t forget the prescribed medications.

If the experience is going outside the United States, guests need their passport and any other required documentation.

CLOTHING The temperature aboard tends to be several degrees cooler. In the Pacific Northwest, where we do our boating, we tell our guests it’s smart to bring a warm jacket, especially one that’s waterproof, even if it’s the middle of summer. We also

suggest planning on dressing with layers.

Non-marking soft-soled shoes are a must, and deck shoes for safety reasons are preferred.

EXPENSES As we all know, traveling by boat incurs more costs than living at home. On extended trips, although happy to share their boat, and all the toys that go with it, boaters appreciate their crew sharing in the expenses, such as provisions, fuel, moorage and so on. Discuss money issues prior to the visit so the crew understands fully their fiscal responsibilities.

FLOAT PLAN Guests’ arrival and departure should be clarified before they leave home. Location of arrival and departure for visitors may differ, so flights or ferry times should be scheduled with some “weather time” built in as a buffer. Flexibility is key, because plans can and do change. Things happen, including weather and equipment failure. Keeping guests busy is also key.

Most guests aren’t happy to spend lazy days aboard doing next to nothing. Visit anchorages with plenty to do and rediscover some of your favorite places through their eyes.

and lather, then turn the water back on to rinse. It might seem a bit awkward at first, but they will get used to it, and it will keep fellow crewmembers happy.

POWER CONSERVATION

Cruising successfully and happily with guests requires advanced planning, a distribution of tasks and maybe even a little time at the helm.

If the cruise is planned for longer than an afternoon, skippers need to explain the need for power conservation. Avoid opening the refrigerator and freezer unnecessarily.

Turn on lights only when needed, and turn them off when not needed. Remind guests that charging cellphones and computers uses power. Any small appliances are not to be used if the boat is not plugged into shore power or the generator is running.

If you are like us — our cruising lives revolve around daylight, early to rise and early to bed — and a guest is a night owl, suggest he bring a head lamp rather than drain the ship’s batteries by staying up all night.

LIFE ABOARD ON ARRIVAL Once your guests arrive, make sure they have a space of their own and have a chance to stow their gear before giving them a quick tour of the boat and providing a thorough safety briefing before leaving the dock. Even seasoned boaters need to know about hazards and operations on a “new-to-them” boat. Walk guests through the boat and point out the location of safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, flares, life jackets, EPIRBs, the VHF radio and the first-aid kit. And ensure they know how to use them. Go over sensitive systems such as life jacket fitting and operation, EPIRBs, head use and how to make a mayday call on the VHF. Some skippers like to conduct a man-overboard drill. Yes, it’s rare for someone to fall in the water, but preparation can make the difference if it happens.

Explain what’s off limits. We prefer guests not mess with the GPS, chartplotter or radar, so there’s no risk of deleting or reprograming our routes, waypoints or settings.

HEAD OPERATIONS The last thing any captain wants to

experience is a clogged head. Nothing will spoil a cruise for owners and guests faster than a broken toilet. Demonstrate the proper operation of the head, even if they are seasoned boaters. There are many different marine toilet systems and each has its idiosyncrasies. A good basic rule to share with guests is never flush anything that you haven’t first eaten unless it’s marine system-approved toilet paper. This is also a good time to explain the tankage limitations for the black water and fresh water.

WATER IS PRECIOUS Even on large yachts the fresh-water supply is limited. It’s easy for guests to be unaware of this since they don’t worry too much about it at home. Another concern is hot water, since the hot-water tank on a boat is much smaller than the one in their home and it takes some form of power — electric, diesel, propane — to heat it. Explain to new crew members it is appropriate to shower in “installments” to both reduce the quantity of water they use and conserve the hot water supply so the rest of the crew can get a hot shower too. This just means they get wet first, then turn off the water while they shampoo

Most boats have what we refer to as a “one-butt galley.” If guests would like to help in preparing meals, there’s nothing wrong with allowing them to help prepare some of the meals or doing the dishes.

We have heard stories of guests eating and drinking food that was for particular occasions or for when the next crew came aboard. It may be necessary to explain which provisions are available for consumption on which days.

DEPARTURE & ARRIVAL When it’s time to push off the dock, the quests are usually anxious to help toss lines or lift fenders, but leaving the slip is not as easy as pulling the car out of the garage and heading down the road. Many skippers will ask their visitors to sit and relax while they work through various steps, sometimes in a specific order, to ensure the safety of the vessel and crew. The same holds true when docking or anchoring.

As boaters, we have access to remarkable parts of the world, and it’s great when we’re able to share cruising experiences and lifestyle with landlubbers and friends.

Making everyone’s expectations clear at the outset definitely helps ensure a successful and enjoyable cruise.

CALIFORNIA REGIONAL SECTION // SEA MAGAZINE

EDITED BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

AS I STEP ABOARD PILGRIM one hazy afternoon in Dana Point Harbor, the cool dampness and earthy smells are strangely familiar. Climbing down the stairs, my memory drifts back to 20 years ago when I first descended these exact stairs into the bowels of the very same ship as a young girl.

“VOYAGING” TO THE PAST

For 36 years, Pilgrim has educated generations of students and visitors with a firsthand account of “Two Years Before the Mast.”

Like many other fifth-graders in Southern California, my classmates and I had the opportunity to stay aboard Pilgrim overnight to learn firsthand what it might have been like to be on the voyage that Richard Henry Dana Jr. took from Boston in the 1830s. The remarkable memoir of Dana’s travels aboard the original Pilgrim was published as “Two Years Before the Mast,” a celebrated and much-referenced work of American literature. Dana captured the essence of what it was like to be a merchant seaman, and the hardships endured by humans who braved the sea during that era. Technology was more primitive in those days — no GPS, no radar, no autopilot.

I remember hearing about the Pilgrim “voyage” from the older kids at my school.

Sleeping over on a real tall ship sounded so exciting and adventurous! I looked forward to it all year, and when the day finally came and we were dropped off at Dana Point Harbor, the sea air hit me and we all eagerly anticipated our travel back SEAMAGAZINE.COM MAY 2018 CA-1

FAST FACTS

Pilgrim is a full-sized replica of the brig immortalized by Richard Henry Dana Jr. in “Two Years Before the Mast.” Here’s her story in a nutshell:

Length on deck: 98 feet Length overall: 130 feet Beam: 24 feet, 7 inches Masts: 2 Mainmast height: 98 feet Net tonnage: 64 Built: 1945, Denmark For more information about Pilgrim and the available programs, visit ocean-institute.org.

in time. We toured the Ocean Institute and then it was time to walk up the plank into our time capsule. I have fond memories of that childhood experience — the night watch, the hearty beef stew, memorizing how to ring the ship’s bell to tell time. All of the staff were in character, and we were immersed into the world of being a sailor in 1800s.

Earlier this morning, I drove down the scenic coast, not really knowing what to expect while exploring Dana Point Harbor.

When I arrived at the Ocean Institute, I met Dan Goldbacher, director of maritime programs for the Ocean Institute, for a tour of Pilgrim. It looked stately and sturdy but worn from years of being enjoyed. I learned that Pilgrim is maintained by 50 local volunteers who make sure she’s ready for the next tour or school group to come aboard. Pilgrim, as she currently floats in Dana Point Harbor, according to the Ocean Institute, is a full-sized replica of the hide brig chronicled by Dana Jr. in the novel “Two Years Before the Mast.”

The replica of the original Pilgrim began as a three-masted schooner (or a “tern” schooner in North America) in 1945 in Denmark. In 1975, she was sailed to Lisbon, Portugal, by Capt. Ray Wallace and converted to her present replica brig.

In September 1981, Pilgrim arrived in Dana Point Harbor, where she has been the Ocean Institute’s largest classroom, providing living history programs to thousands of students and visitors. The institute’s motto is “educate through experience,” something the folks there definitely delivered.

The original Pilgrim, which also has historical ties to Dana Point, was built in 1825

by Bryant, Sturgis & Co. in Boston, Mass.

She sailed capably until a fire destroyed her in 1856. She was a smaller brig than most, at 86 feet in length, with a crew of only nine needed to sail her. While carrying a shipment of limes from Maine to Alabama, a fire broke out and Pilgrim sank. Lady Washington, a schooner, transported the marooned captain and crew to Pensacola, Fla. But the legacy of Pilgrim would live on through Dana and his writing. After his seaman career ended and he had published “Two Years Before the Mast,” Dana became a lawyer who specialized in maritime law and became a champion for the rights of the common man. He later went on to become a prominent abolitionist who fought to end slavery and helped found the

Pilgrim is owned and operated by the Ocean Institute, situated a few yards away from the dock where she floats. Through the doors of the impressive lobby area is a visitor center with more information on the programs available as well as an interesting tide pool.

The facilities that are open to the public include the Headlands & Beyond exhibit, the tide pool playscape, Maddie James Seaside Learning Center, and all the labs inside the Ocean Education Center, in addition to Pilgrim. Tours of Pilgrim are offered on Sunday during regular operating hours. There are also seasonal events such as whale-watching cruises, holiday light parade cruises, the Jazz Festival, and the Tall Ship Festival that happen every year.

Spirit of Dana Point, also owned by the Ocean Institute, floats adjacent to Pilgrim. It was built by master shipwright Dennis Holland. He laid the keel on May 2, 1970. It took 13 years to construct and was launched for the first time in 1982. It is a replica of a 1770s privateer that was used during the American Revolution.

Spirit of Dana Point sets sail in cannon battle reenactments and other living history and at-sea maritime programs, including private charters, coastal sails, corporate team building and filming opportunities.

The area of present-day Dana Point Harbor is indeed where Richard Henry Dana unloaded furs and restocked provisions on his journey up the coast to trade hides. In his description of the locale of Dana Point, he said it was “the only romantic spot on the coast.� The rolling hills and cliffs are rather unique in California.

Boat owners moored in Dana Point should take the time to check out a little piece of history and classic American literature.

Longtime PNW Broker Dies

FOR A COUPLE of generations of yacht brokers in the Pacific

Northwest, the name Jim Irwin was well known. Sadly, Irwin died Feb. 27, though his legacy will continue through his eponymously named business, Irwin Yacht Sales.

One week shy of his 79th birthday when he died, Irwin founded his marine business in Portland, Ore., in 1963, and through the years had represented many of the industry’s well-known brands, including Sea Ray, Tollycraft, Ocean Alexander, Carver and many others. He had retired two years ago but stayed active in the business until last December.

Over the course of 55 years in the industry, Irwin saw and adapted to many changes, from the introduction of fiberglass to the Taiwanese revolution to a couple of near-crushing recessions, and he led his business and many industry figures during those times.

Throughout, he kept clients’ best interests at the forefront. To that



end, Irwin helped found the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association, both to protect clients and give brokers the tools to conduct business professionally and ethically.

He was aware early on of the value that brokers bring to the yacht sales industry, and he wanted to communicate and share that with the industry and boat-buying public at large.

“Much of what we have today can be directly related back to his volunteer work for our industry,” says a statement from Irwin Yacht Sales.

Aware that his business couldn’t thrive without a thriving industry, Irwin gave a lot of his time. In addition to helping found NYBA, he was a past president of the Northwest Marine Trade Association, and he never hesitated to offer his time and expertise to brokers in the Northwest and beyond.

According to a statement from Irwin Yacht Sales, “Jim will always be known for his quick wit, his sense of humor — God knows he loved his pranks — his generosity, and most of all his humanity. He cared for others more than himself, and his presence will be missed each and every day.”

Irwin is survived by his wife, Cherry; son, JR; and daughter, Shawn. He had four grandsons.
