WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES WHAT WOULD YOU SAY if I told you I saw a 45-foot center console with quad Yamaha F350
outboards on the transom and a seating area and a sun lounge in the bow? Oh, and an actual cabin in the console? What if I told you I saw a 60-foot boat that has the profile of a working tug boat but is actually an Italian-built luxury yacht? What if I told you I sat on a barstool whose base was securely fastened to a yacht’s hullside that was folded outward and flat to create more deck space while the yacht is at the dock or on the hook? What if I told you I designed and test drove a new ski boat without ever leaving my seat inside a giant tent? You might suspect that I’m trying to pull an April Fool’s Day prank on you with any or all of those questions, but you’d be wrong. I saw or did all of those things at the twin boat and yacht shows in Miami in February. The 45-foot center console is the Grady-White Canyon 456, and it takes its fishing and its entertaining seriously. I called it a reverse mullet: business in the back and party in the front. It bristles with rods and riggers, but it’s soft and inviting in the bow, and in the cabin. See more about it on page 62. The 60-footer that looks like a tug but feels like a luxury yacht is the Arcadia Sherpa, a new-to-the-U.S. yacht that you can read more about on page 6. The barstool trick isn’t an optical illusion. The sides of the Galeon 500 Flybridge actually do fold down to open up more deck space, and barstools can be mounted there. You can read more about that boat on page 30. Creating and test driving a new ski boat from a booth at the show? Yep. Chaparral Boats has a virtual reality system that allows folks to choose a boat, drive it and walk around it like they are actually on it, thanks to a special set of goggles. I kept reaching out to lean on stuff and worried about cracking my shins on things that weren’t there. Trailerable boats, but still cool. Boat builders aren’t resting on their laurels — does anyone still receive laurels? — and boat shows are great events for the public to see what’s new. Later this month, April 19-22, be sure to check out the Newport Boat Show (newportbeachboatshow.com) at Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach. With more than 200 boats in the water, there’s bound to be something you’ve never seen before. No foolin’.

F I N D I N G I T S WAY Arcadia’s Sherpa yacht has found its way to the U.S., and its exterior design ensures it will get noticed.
AN
the Arcadia Sherpa coming toward him would in no way expect what he would see once the 60-foot Italian-built yacht passed him. The snub-nosed Sherpa, which made its U.S. debut during February’s Miami International Boat Show, looks very much like a tugboat nose-on, and that impression is actually reinforced from aft, as the yacht’s open cockpit stretches for about half of the LOA — but this is definitely a luxury yacht, not a workboat. OBSERVER WHO SAW
The cockpit, all of which is open and half of which is covered, occupies a spacious 538 square feet and includes an aft sun lounge for three people, two more lounges forward of the lounge that can serve as sofas and a C-shaped settee with a table forward of those, under an overhang. Twin L-shaped settees with tables can be substituted for the twin lounges, to create a conversation pit. It’s like having a dayboat attached to a pilothouse yacht. 6
At the dividing point between cockpit and rest of the boat are four sets of stairs. Two of them, one each to port and starboard, go up to the sidedecks, which lead to the bow, where a bench seat gives folks a front-row view of the water underway. Stairs on the centerline lead to the sky lounge (flybridge), which includes a settee and a table, the helm and twin captain’s chairs, and a covered galley. Windows all around the sky lounge can be closed in
inclement weather or open on sunny days, giving the yacht an all-weather appeal and versatility. The fourth set of stairs, just to starboard of the sky lounge set, leads to the accommodations deck, which can be optioned with two staterooms or a master suite and a lower salon. Two heads are standard with either arrangement. Solar panels occupy the sky lounge hardtop and the cockpit overhang, creating some of the power the yacht needs. A large garage under the cockpit can hold a tender and PWCs. The Sherpa can reach a top speed of 22 knots with twin Volvo Penta IPS600 diesel engines. Arcadia Yachts, arcadiayachtsflorida.com

ability to make 10 knots of headway even in moderate to heavy seas and the owner’s ability to gather daily or hourly weather reports. Sailboats and slower power boats probably don’t qualify, because they can’t outrun a hurricane moving north at 10 to 15 knots. Nor do go-fast boats that lack sufficient fuel tankage to get them quickly from Cabo San Lucas north to Mag Bay and then to Turtle Bay. But many long-legged sportfishers, motoryachts and trawler cruisers do provide
3 NOVICE MEXICO MISTAKES South-of-the-border first-timers don’t have to make the same mistakes rookies before them have made.
WHETHER YOU’RE A NOVICE boater or just new to boating in Mexican waters, you don’t
have to believe every piece of the “established wisdom” that’s floating around on the docks in stateside marinas. True, many of the old sea stories have a grain of truth at their heart. But every time they’ve been retold over the years, they’ve been embellished until the wisdom rubs a bit thin. What follows are three mistakes well-intentioned novices often make — and how to avoid making them too. M I S TA K E # 1
I must get the boat home by June 1 to escape hurricane season. WELL, THE MONTH OF May is fast approach-
ing. If you’re heading back to the U.S. solely to avoid summer cyclonic storms, maybe you don’t absolutely have to get north of the border before June 1. Ask your insurance
provider about getting the boat as far north as one of Ensenada’s full-service marinas or dry storage yards. Ensenada is north of 13 degrees 42 minutes north, or Maneadero, BCN, Highway 1, which is considered safely north of hurricane dangers. Many insurers allow their covered vessels to reside at Ensenada over the summer. And May 31 might not be the absolute deadline. It depends heavily on a boat’s
Baja fuel filters are required only if you plan to pump fuel from recycled oil drums at very remote villages or islands, which is not recommended. the speed, fuel tankage and seakeeping ability to get north during late May or June, before tropical storms begin roaming north from Mexico’s Costa del Sur and Gold Coast. Bring enough watch-standers to head up Baja in two or three nonstop legs: Cabo to Mag, Mag to Turtle, Turtle to Ensenada or San Diego. After Turtle Bay, the hurricane threat is low, especially early in the season. July often sees prevailing northwesterlies lying down along Pacific Baja. If you have a well-installed single sideband (SSB) radio and know how to use it to receive HF emails, you can constantly monitor the most accurate weather reports along Pacific Mexico. If not, consider hiring a professional weather-routing service that’s experienced with hurricane season in Mexico and the Eastern Pacific. Familiarize them with your boat’s capabilities, with your intended route or potential stops coming up Baja, and with your watch-standing capabilities and number of crew. Depending on the state of the tropics, sign up for weekly updates during May, and for daily updates by June or July.

Southbound boaters must provision with a year of filters and food for 90 days.
If a panga approaches my boat at anchor, it must be pirates, so I better get my flare gun ready to defend myself.
DON’T SUBMERGE THE BOAT’S waterline by overstocking on food and standard spares. Mexico has lots of modern big-box grocery stores and well-stocked chandlers, especially in ports that have marinas. I recall 20 years ago in Mexico when boaters could not find a single turkey for a Thanksgiving meal; the locals didn’t eat it. But last year in La Paz, grocers advertised frozen turkeys, fresh cranberries and pumpkin pies two weeks in advance — even gingerbread-man cookies for Christmas. Diesel fuel has been clean at fuel docks at Ensenada, Turtle Bay, Puerto San Carlos and Los Cabos in 2018. Baja fuel filters are required only if you plan to pump fuel from recycled oil drums at very remote villages or islands, which is not recommended. However, if your boat requires unusual filters for fuel, oil or the water-maker, stock up on enough to get you through the next oil change; also note where in the U.S. you can order more and have them shipped down to Mexico. Membranes for off-brand water-makers are not well stocked in some ports, so carry an extra. If your breakfast smoothies require fresh organic blueberries, check out Flora Farms at San Jose del Cabo. Or try substituting frozen blueberries or a jar of preserves. Also, try the ultra-pasteurized milk in cartons that can be stored without refrigeration.
MEXICO’S MOST DELIGHTFUL CRUISING
grounds consist of dozens of remote little anchorages, often near humble fishing villages. Ninety percent of the villagers subsist on fishing in 18- to 22-foot pangas, so they must go fish every day. If a panguero swings by your anchored boat in the early morning, he might drift by at chatting distance, slowly enough to ask if you need a fish for lunch. No, he doesn’t need to tie up or climb aboard. If you indicate interest (posiblemente), and if he catches enough to have extra, he’ll swing by on his way back. In some places, their fish catch belongs to the cooperative, so don’t blab on the VHF radio and get the guy in trouble. I’d pay at least $15 per kilo (2.2 pounds) for a dorado or pinto grouper. Have dollars or pesos ready, and gallon-size plastic zip bags. It’s customary to give a tip if he also cleans the fish. Don’t try to trade booze or magazines; these guys have wives and children waiting for them. Please learn enough Spanish to talk fish over the swim step — “What kind of fish are biting?” “Que pesca estan mordiendo?” — or at least to say “No, gracias.” If you’re still fearful of encountering Mexican fishermen, better stick to the marinas.
This Just In Mexican tourist cards are no longer available online in advance of a voyage. U.S. boaters must get them from the Immigration office in the first port of entry where they’ll make their international arrival. The preferred location is Ensenada, 60 miles south of the U.S. border, as the next opportunity is not until Cabo San Lucas in southern Baja.

HERE COMES SPRING
Ready or not, boating season is coming. Is your vessel ready?
WE HAVE MADE A number of extended trips
throughout the Northwest without significant mechanical or electrical problems, unlike too many other boat owners, but our trouble-free cruising has not come without extensive effort to make our aging 381 Meridian ready to go each spring. Over the years I have developed an extensive checklist that covers all key systems, from the keel to the anchor light. I do it all myself and then call for a professional review. So, what’s the drill? I take individual sections of the checklist and pull related items into a single category. 22
For example, a check of the DC electrical system should include testing the battery load, checking the wet-cell fluid level, cleaning battery terminals, testing circuit breaker panel circuits, and checking lights, blowers, horn, pumps, electronic gear, and navigation and anchor lights for proper operation. If one battery fails a load test, all the batteries in its bank should be replaced. Are there spares for all the lights on board? Similar testing is required for the AC system. Is the shore power cord OK? Are the contacts burned or corroded? Do I have a spare? I service and operate the generator and confirm it preforms to specifications under load. Then I operate all major AC appliances, including the water heater, space heaters, refrigerator, freezer, ice-maker, inverter and battery chargers; test GFIC receptacles in the galley, heads and in the deck locker;

ASK THE EXPERTS and make sure I have a variety of shore-power cord adapters (15-, 20- and 50-amp plugs). Plumbing is next on my list. I check the through-hull valves for easy, leak-free operation. Are hoses and clamps OK? I check ’em and then test all the automatic bilge pumps, give the manual pump a workout and make sure the bilge pump warning lights at the helm are working. Is the freshwater pressure system working? Is there a spare pump aboard? Is it time to change filters? Also, I clean the water tank. Don’t forget the wastewater “Y” valves. Make sure they work smoothly. Look for leaks and lubricate as required. If wastewater hoses are more than seven or eight years old, their time may be up. Consider replacement. Brace yourself and investigate the holding tank and the macerator, and clean the shower sump-pump filter. Flush the system with fresh water and be certain the pumps are pushing water overboard. Check the spares locker for repair kits. Easy Goin’ has hydraulic steering, trim tabs and thrusters. I meticulously inspect the hoses for leaks, lube the rudder linkage and ensure the fluid reservoirs are filled.
— and change the fuel filters, replace absorbent pads in the bilge and check for f luid leaks. I make sure all engine alarms are working and that the instruments at the helm provide accurate information. Next, I check all hoses and clamps, shaft couplings and seals. I watch the exhaust for proper water f low and for unusual smoke that might indicate the need for injector service or valve latching adjustment. Other checks include the drive belt’s condition and tension, inspecting and cleaning spark arresters, and ensuring the engine mounts and drive coupling nuts are tight. Overheating will stop a diesel quickly, so open and clean the seawater strainers and replace the strainer gasket. Replace the seawater pump impeller, and open and inspect heat exchangers and remove debris. If the tubes are plugged, send it off to a shop for chemical cleaning. With a handheld infrared thermometer, check operating temperatures. Inspect the exhaust manifold, coolant expansion tank, oil lines and transmission. Consider changing the transmission f luid and filter if it’s been more than a couple years. At a minimum check f luid level.
Nothing is more important for an uneventful round trip than reliable engines. I service our twin Cummins diesels — including fresh oil and filters

ASK THE EXPERTS stowed on board. The cruising routes to northern Canada and southeastern Alaska have no parts stores, so boat owners need to be prepared to handle any breakdowns.

A sea trial is important, particularly to be sure the engines are running smoothly. I like to schedule a short spring cruise after completing my boat check and maintenance work. I operate every system, from the windshield wipers to the diesel furnace and navigational systems. If it all holds together for several days, I’m confident my longer cruises will be uneventful. Take a walk around the boat. Are mooring lines frayed? Does the anchor windlass work? Do you have a spare deck switch for the windlass motor? Does the anchor rode need new depth markings? Is the deck hardware tight, especially the rail stanchions and cleats? How about the windshield wiper blades? Time to replace them? Test the dinghy hoist. The best way is to put the dinghy in the water on that spring sea trial, if it’s not possible in the marina. Got propane aboard? Are the tanks firmly mounted and rust free? Is the certification on the tank outdated? Is the enclosure properly vented? Fill the tanks, too. How about the dinghy? Does it still hold air? Where’s the patch kit? Does the outboard motor need servicing? Get rid of the old gas in its tank. You want the boat to come home looking good, too. Get out the fiberglass cleaner/ polish and, if you have exterior teak, find time for the sandpaper-varnish routine.

GALEON 500 FLY
Innovation abounds aboard, inside and out.
I reviewed the brochure, checked the photos and perused the website, and still couldn’t believe this yacht until I was aboard. The Galeon 500 Fly was created for but one mission in life: to be a full-fledged entertainment platform. I don’t know where to start, so let’s begin with the basics. This is a 53-foot yacht that looks like many other yachts when an observer casually views it from the dock or passing by on the water. Sure, it has cool blackout windows in the hull for ambient lighting in the lower accommodations, and
TALK ABOUT INSIDE OUT.
Tester’s Opinion 30
a low-slung radar arch aft on the flybridge, and a rather large swim platform. The 500 Fly is unassuming when at rest. I refer to inside out because once it’s fully opened, the 500 Fly wants people on board to enjoy the great outdoors, one of the reasons we go boating. And Galeon has taken every opportunity to allow owners to do just that, in so many ways. Up in the bow, there’s no large sunpad. Galeon replaced that with three padded bench seats with backrests and a center foldout teak table, making the bow a
destination unto itself. And for multiple guests. It’s a great idea to include real seats. Not everyone wants to have to get down on a sunpad to watch a sunset or have a conversation. It’s perfect for sightseeing around the coves and bays. That’s just the beginning. This Galeon has innovation built in everywhere. For example, the large swim platform — it can handle 1,100 pounds — hydraulically lowers to form a beach or a swim-out spot. When deployed, the platform lowers and extends away from the hull, which creates a gap. Galeon built in a self-extending ramp with steps that’s anchored to the yacht, creating a staircase back to the 500’s stairway. No jumping needed. On the aft deck is a large C-shaped settee with a double-post high-low folding fiberglass dining table. Curious is that both posts are mounted to a circular insert in the deck floor. My driver for the day, Capt. Sam Alsop, a delivery and company captain for MarineMax of Stuart, Fla., reached down to a locking mechanism and the ensemble — Galeon calls it a roto-seat — of table and seat rotated 180 degrees to create an aft-facing oasis. It’s ideal for relaxing at anchor or keeping an eye on anyone enjoying a swim. Alternatively, the table drops to
Whether it’s being observed facing forward or aft, the salon is a comfortable gathering point. Two sections of the loveseat can be moved and included in the dining arrangement. The galley is immediately aft, so the chef doesn’t have to be left out. The fully outfitted helm pod is a study in form and function. Amidships is the master suite.
Galeon’s “beach mode” includes the aft balconies and sliding windows, and the bar, reverse salon sofa, roto aft seat and swim platform with extending staircase are all great ideas individually. But they’re so much cooler when they’re all together on one yacht. Galeon has created a unique vessel that delivers on so many fronts.

create a large sunpad area. The platform can lock in a number of other positions too, depending on need. Any of the features I’ve mentioned so far may be the best, but I think the pièce de résistance of the Galeon 500 Fly are the port and starboard foldout balconies. Here, the aft sections of the side gunwales fold outward, level with the sidedeck, creating separate areas to relax. On the starboard side owners can add a few chairs or leave it open. On the port side are two built-in bases for barstools. Not enough? Wait for it… Adding to the inside out concept, the aft sides of the salon house, window and all, unlock and slide forward, making the salon an open area. On the starboard side, the salon’s bench sofa converts to an outward seat by flipping the sofa’s backrest to where loungers can sit on the sofa and face out. With the side gunwale down, this is another great spot to relax with guests or take in the view. Additionally, with the port side open, the galley counter extends toward the barstools and creates an outside refreshment/serving area. Still, there’s plenty of room for guests to walk around the

sidedecks, with safety posts and lines on the balconies and railings and grabrails along the house. Supporting the open feel is an aft bulkhead door that consists of three framed, full-height glass panels on individual tracks that slide to port and overlap each other, resulting in a full transition between aft deck and salon.
Inside the salon, the starboard sofa is well padded, for lounging. Just across is the galley. Power When the 500 Fly is fully open, it is centered on Twin 670 hp Volvo the main deck, and it will likely be the central Penta D11-670 point, thanks to the bar and well-appointed diesels work area. Appliances include an Isotherm Price refrigerator, a Samsung convection microwave, Contact dealer a Kenyon two-burner cooktop and more. A deep double-basin stainless sink has a cutting-board cover, and the countertops are Corian. Walnut cabinetry and finish is a nice contrast against the light carpeting and upholstery on this yacht. Up two steps is a starboard-side love seat, consisting of two ottomans that can be used for seating at the portside U-shaped dining settee. Note that the forward side windows also open, essentially The flybridge creating an open environment for deck is also the main deck of the 500 Fly.

Given its close Galeon kept the proximity to the rest of the main port helm small deck, the captain doesn’t have to feel left out.

There’s a right-side mini console for the Volvo throttle controls and a trim tab indicator. Water 143 gal.
All the fun in the sun is certain to make passengers weary, and Galeon finished the lower staterooms to the same standards found throughout. Forward is a VIP stateroom, with a walk-around queen island berth, hullside windows and overhead atrium windows. There’s direct access to the common head, which includes an electric toilet and a separate shower stall. A guest stateroom with double bunks is to starboard. Midship is the full-beam master, a relaxing destination itself. The port side has a sit-down vanity, with a mirror and a light. A queen berth is on the centerline, and a full dresser is to starboard.

The settee/table ensemble in the cockpit can rotate a full 360 degrees and lock into any position the user desires, facing aft, forward or anywhere in between. On a boat whose aft gunwales fold flat, that’s a nice feature. 32

should go for the washer/dryer unit that’s housed in one of the cabinets. A private en suite head has an electric toilet, Corian counters, a ceramic basin sink and a glass shower stall with a seat. Not to be remiss, the flybridge deck is also a marvel of togetherness. Galeon kept the port helm small yet functional and installed a double seat, so there’s no problem driving from here. Forward of the helm and all the way across the forward section is a large sunpad deck that’s sizeable enough for

numerous people to hang out. It’s a great spot to see and be seen. A movable backrest can adjust to several angles. Behind the helm seat is a wet bar cabinet, with a sink, a refrigerator and storage. Across from the helm is a small C-shaped settee, perfect for a cruising couple. With more guests, head to the much larger C-shaped settee aft, which surrounds a foldout fiberglass table. The backrest from the forward settee flips, so the same seat can be used for the larger area. With all this seating and lounging area, the flybridge is certain to be another popular location. Giddy-up for the yacht is provided by a pair of Volvo Penta D11 670 hp diesels. Cutting glass on some pretty flat waterways, we got the more-than-50,000-pound yacht up and running. We cruised comfortably at 17.8 knots (1800 rpm), burning 34 gph combined. Wide-open testing yielded 31 knots at 2520 rpm and a 70 gph fuel burn. When power and speed are needed, they’re available. Don’t be fooled by the Galeon 500 Fly’s docile profile. Innovation abounds on the yacht, and it’s a must-see for anyone who likes to entertain on the water. Getting rid of guests might be an issue.

CRUISERS 54 FLY The weekender and entertainer gains another social space, with altitude.
CRUISERS’ CANTIUS LINE HAS been on a steady growth pattern, both in number and length, spanning the size range from 60 feet to — with the latest introduction — 42 feet (which we’ll get to test very soon). The largest two models, the 60 and 54, both have a flybridge version, and it was the 54 Fly I was on the Pacific Ocean to test. Based on previous experience with the 60 Fly, I expected the flybridge to be a sizeable social zone with a fully functional helm, the amenities necessary for a day of cruising, and views all around. And I wasn’t disappointed. At the top of a ladder-like staircase whose teak steps were much deeper than ladder rungs — appreciated by a dude with size 15 feet — I found what’s essentially an elevated dayboat atop an express cruiser. A C-shaped settee aft and another to port by the helm can easily seat nine passengers, and the generous helm seat makes it an even 34
10. Both settees have a table and feature built-in cupholders. On the port side, between the settees, is an integrated console that houses a grill, a sink, a refrigerator and an ice-maker. Situated to starboard is the helm station. Its tilted dash face houses an MFD, a VHF radio, a stereo head unit and the Seakeeper gyro display. A compass and two cupholders are on the top, and the engine throttles and joystick control are on a console extension that runs aft. A hardtop covers the expanse of the flybridge, so everyone up top can enjoy the breeze while being protected from the sun’s rays and heat. It will also shield everyone from the rain, but given that the boat has a lower helm, most folks will retreat indoors in inclement weather. About the only thing missing from the 54’s flybridge that’s on the 60 is a two-person sun lounge forward of the helm station. Some kind of mechanically or manually operated opening in the hardtop
would be nice, too, for those times when folks want a little sun to come through. Surprisingly, test day didn’t lend itself to operating from the flybridge helm. While the rain fizzled out right about test time, everything outside was still covered, and the temperature hovered just above 50, so we spent most of the test at the lower helm, enjoying the Seakeeper gyro stabilizer working its magic on the choppy sea. With the twin Volvo Penta D8 IPS800 diesels, each cranking out 600 hp, spinning at 3050 rpm the 54 Fly hit a top speed of 29 knots. Fuel burn was 55 gph. At 2800 rpm, the boat traveled at 25.5 knots and burned 44 gph. We hit 22.5 knots at 2600 rpm, 19 knots at 2400 rpm and 15 knots at 2200. As per usual with Volvo Penta engines, the 54 Fly’s range from 2200 rpm to 2800 rpm varied by just 10 miles, 250 vs. 260 (with a 10 percent reserve built in), with its most efficient cruising speeds being 25.5 and 19 knots. Slowing way down to 7 knots stretches the range to about 900 miles. With the pod drives propelling the vessel, handling was easy and stable. The yacht exhibited a slight sportboat-like lean into turns and carved a tight circle, which gave the 54 a chance to split through its wake without pounding or vibration. When it was time to put the yacht back in its slip, Silver Seas Yachts’ Jerry Reeck used the joystick to spin it and back it with precision. He did it from the lower helm, but the upper helm had a joystick and our test boat had the optional third unit in the cockpit. Access to the 54 Fly is via a large swim platform that has two hidden boarding ladders and tracks for a dinghy or PWC
The 54 Fly shares its interior layout, minus the opening sunroof, with the Cantius 54, including the aft galley and forward salon, the engine room and lower helm, and the fullbeam master stateroom retreat. Wide stairs lead to the social flybridge.

cradle, and it lowers into the water to make launch and retrieval simple, or to serve as an offshore beach. Built into the base of the transom console is a storage area large enough for fenders, life jackets, life rings, cleaning brushes and supplies, towable tubes and more. It’s accessed by lifting the cockpit’s transom settee, which is push-button simple. Up stairs to either side is the cockpit, which features a C-shaped settee aft that can convert to a sun lounge, with filler cushions, the aforementioned stairs to the bridge, access to the sidedecks and a grill. The flybridge deck overhang covers most of the cockpit. Two stools front a bar that shares its countertop with the galley. It’s one of the yacht’s signature features, as it is on the 60. With the door swept aside and the portside window lowered into the bulkhead — a really cool feature — the cockpit and main cabin become one unbroken space, with the bar as the main attraction. On the bow are twin sunpads, one to either side of the skylight windows in the forward VIP stateroom. The pads can lie flat or be propped to about 60 degrees — or angles in between — and each has a convenient cupholder. Back in the main cabin, the galley occupies the aft third of the space, with a U-shaped portion to port and a straight countertop and more cabinets opposite. Under the U-shaped counter is a two-drawer refrigerator/freezer, a microwave and drawer storage. Built into the forward section is a two-basin sink, and in the portside section is a cooktop that’s sunk into the stone, creating a barrier that prevents pots from sliding around. A dishwasher and another refrigerator drawer are under the starboard-side counter. Forward to port is a C-shaped settee. Four people can use it to dine, while a one or two

Its queen-size berth is situated directly beneath the nearly six-foot-long skylight that lets the light shine in — or not, as blinds can be drawn along the length of the glass. Hull windows to either side run nearly the length of the room and add to the well-lit atmosphere. Amidships is the full-beam master stateroom, which is essentially a seaside retreat for the yacht’s owners. A queen berth sits on the centerline against a bulkhead of wood, plush fabric and three horizontal stainless steel bands that remind me of the bar that runs across both large amidships hull windows. (Those bars are signature features of the Cantius line.) Nightstands flank the head of the berth. To port is a large built-in bureau with a stone top and an abundance of drawer storage.

and other beauty routine items. One part includes a mirror. Facing the berth is an entertainment wall, a section of the forward bulkhead that’s finished with hardwood and houses the flatscreen TV, a Polk sound bar and a stereo head unit. The master en suite head is in the companionway from the atrium to the stateroom, across from a locker that houses a washer and dryer. A third stateroom, with bunks, is immediately to starboard at the base of the steps from above. The space can be optioned as a lower salon, if buyers are keen on keeping the volume of overnight guests to a minimum. Owing to its layout and overall flow, the 54 Fly lends itself to family excursions or even two adult couples spending a weekend on the hook or an island mooring. There’s plenty of room, from the bow to the flybridge to the cockpit, to spread out for some downtime, but the social spaces are conducive to coladas, conversations and cookouts.

A 17-DAY OCEAN CROSSING PUTS ONE COUPLE SQUARELY IN THE BEAUTY, CULTURE AND ADVENTURE OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC. FROM THE BLOG OF RON AND NANCY GOLDBERG
Ron and Nancy Goldberg cruise aboard Duet, a Nordhavn 50. Last year they did something few cruisers attempt: They motored across the Pacific Ocean, from Mexico to the Marquesas, in 17 days. Fortunately for everyone else, Nancy keeps a blog of their adventures (mvduet.com), and here we have compiled parts of that blog — photos and entries — that help tell a visual story of their adventures through the Marquesas, the Society Islands and the Tuamotus. They spend much time on their blog highlighting the mechanical challenges that come with longdistance cruising, which is helpful to anyone thinking of undertaking a similar adventure. One 1,000-word passage about the refueling process in the Marquesas is particularly interesting. We encourage everyone to check out the blog. Meanwhile, live vicariously over the next several pages.

Sometimes the spires are visible from the water, though they are often covered by clouds. We got to see some of them as we headed toward the island.
2 / TA IO H A E BAY Taiohae Bay, Nuku Hiva, is a beautiful bay in the center of the caldera of the old volcano that formed Nuku Hiva. It is, however, the rolliest place we have ever anchored. We immediately put the flopper stopper in the water to counter a one- to two-foot swell that ran steadily shoreward throughout the bay. It did help. Ron took some video of the “level” in front of Duet’s engine room door. With the flopper in the water, we rolled about 5 degrees; without it we were rolling about 10.
3/H A N A M O EN OA BAY The word on Hanamoenoa Bay on Tahuata is that it’s the most perfect beach in the Marquesas. That alone recommended it to us. We wanted somewhere we could hang out, sleep late, swim, snorkel

and generally recover from the long journey, before Sean flew home. Hanamoenoa fit the bill perfectly. We were the only boat there for several nights. We could walk on the beach, but not go inland, as the natives who lived there forbade it. That didn’t matter. It was a beautiful beach and the snorkeling was great.
4/ BACK AT TA IO H A E BAY We anchored in Taiohae Bay again and went ashore to pick up our rental car, a four-wheel-drive truck with a crew cab and a manual transmission. Ron drove, Sean navigated and Nancy helped. We set off, with detailed directions and a map from Kevin (the local agent who works with our Tahiti-based agent), to visit the far side of the island. We visited two places. First, a 500-year-old Marquesan village with a temple that was used for human sacrifices and cannibalism, which is now an archeological site. After that we went somewhere a little more cheerful, a nearby village on the beach. We parked near the Catholic church, which appeared to be the center of town. It was surrounded by a green, with several common buildings. It was late in the afternoon and children were at play while parents and teenagers were sitting on porches talking and playing music.
5/ H A N AVAV E BAY Hanavave Bay definitely lived up to its billing. It is one of the most beautiful bays we’ve ever seen. It’s narrow, and the anchorage is in a rolly bowl in front of a beautiful green valley, surrounded by tall cliffs. The cliffs are made up of large spires of rock, and the bay used to be known, before the arrival of the missionaries, as the “bay of the penises.” This appellation didn’t sit well with the conservative newcomers, so it is now known as the “bay of the virgins.” It’s not clear how that transition was
achieved, nor why the new name was considered appropriate. Whatever its name, it’s gorgeous. At Hanavave Bay, we walked through town, looking for a path to the local waterfall, which we had read about in the Compendium. We immediately got lost and Nancy asked a local lady for directions. She didn’t speak English and we speak no French, so she took us to her house, because her husband spoke some English. They invited us in, and he drew us a map. They tried to give us a large bag of pampelmousse, which is a giant, tasty version of a grapefruit that grows everywhere. We refused the gift, because we didn’t want to carry it to the waterfall, but promised to stop by on our way back to collect it. The hike to the waterfall was relatively easy, though it is important to remember that the Marquesas are a jungle, complete with mud, bugs, dark and dank areas, huge plants that can sting exposed skin or cause a rash, big eels (which may or may not bite, depending on who you ask) in the rivers, the odd horse or cow wandering around, lots of wild chickens and some incredible scenery. We did reach the waterfall and spent some time sitting in the natural air conditioning of its spray while we munched on trail mix and took pictures. We then hiked back down and visited our new friends. The husband was a woodcarver, so we bought some of his work, beautifully done carvings, and all parted friends.
6/ SEAN AND SKY DIAMOND Sean is shown with Sky Diamond, who belongs to his daughter Elizabeth. He took pictures of Sky Diamond in all sorts of unlikely places to show Elizabeth when he returned home. (Sean Kearns is a firefighter who accompanied the Goldbergs — their first guest ever aboard Duet — during the 17-day ocean crossing and for a couple of weeks cruising the Marquesas.)

Nancy and Ron Goldberg (no hats) don’t often have overnight guests aboard Duet. Other than Sean Kearns (opposite, far right), whom they needed for the long ocean crossing, their old friends Linda and Allan Field were their first long-term guests. Together they cruised the Society Islands (which seems appropriate).

THE TUAMOTUS ANCHORING AMONG CORAL In addition to finding our way around the coral heads in the Tuamotus, we had to anchor among them. It is quite easy to get the anchor chain tangled in the coral, in which case our only hope would have been to somehow get it untangled by maneuvering the boat — or dive on it. Since we don’t carry a tank — we will be adding one in Tahiti — we worried about this. The way to avoid getting tangled, or at least not get all the chain tangled, is to buoy the chain, so it floats above the coral, rather than winding through it. This also protects the coral. [Be sure to read the blog for the explanation of the anchoring process.]
1/ TAHANEA ATOLL We were bound for the Tahanea Atoll in the Tuamotus, which is an uninhabited national park. We arrived at the pass right on time, which was good. One of the tricks to the Tuamotus is managing the passes, which are narrow and have currents that can flow quickly. We’ve seen this before in B.C. and Alaska, but in the Tuamotus there is no current

information. Fortunately, our C-Map charts were quite accurate as far as the tides go, but it took us some time to come to that conclusion. We had time, waiting in the Marquesas, so by the time we left we were pretty confident with our timing at this first pass. That said, it was nice to see a calm entrance when we arrived. Tahanea is one of the easier passes in the Tuamotus — straight, deep and oriented northeast, as is Tahanea. We much enjoyed Roger and Sasha’s company [friends of the Goldbergs who cruise on their sailboat, Ednbal]. The beach barbecues, in particular, were spectacular. There is no light pollution in Tahanea, and we had the additional advantage of a full moon. The beauty is hard to describe and pictures don’t do it justice. The colors are like a Disney Technicolor shot, and the moon reflects into the crystal clear water, so you can see 20 feet down to the gleaming sand.
2/ COCONUT CRAB TRAP To trap a coconut crab, you need an open coconut and tie it to a tree, so the crab doesn’t haul it off. The crabs can grow to four kilos (about nine pounds) and have serious claws. Roger taught Ron how to grab them from behind, and, while we didn’t catch any big ones, Roger and Sasha did several days later, so we got to taste them anyway.

and we did the Duet tour and they settled in. A beautiful sunset over Moorea, seen from Duet’s berth at Marina Taina, was enjoyed by all.

Duet’s crew took a daylong land tour of Bora Bora. This is another advantage to having guests aboard, as they push you to do things you normally wouldn’t do. We’ve never taken a land tour anywhere in the past, but, given how much we enjoyed this trip, we will do so again in the future. During the tour, we checked out a World War II gun emplacement aimed toward a channel through the atoll.
2/ TAHITI TOUR
THE SOCIETY ISLANDS FRIENDS We’re not big on guests aboard, so our first guinea pigs were old friends. We’ve known Allan and Linda Field since the early 1990s, when Ron and Allan worked together. They are sailors and had just moved up to a bigger boat on their home cruising ground of the Chesapeake Bay. We wanted to show them our new cruising life, as we had cruised together on our respective boats in the Chesapeake before we departed on our travels. They had dreamed about visiting the South Pacific. So, after much phoning, emailing and Skyping, Allan and Linda landed in Papeete in early September. Wisely, they spent their first night ashore in a hotel, before joining us the next morning. Nancy went to fetch them by herself, as our tiny rental car definitely wasn’t enough to transport Allan, Linda, Ron and all their luggage. They arrived around lunchtime, S O C I E T Y Motu One

Before Allan and Linda left, we jumped in our rental car and toured Tahiti, which is actually two islands, a large one and a small one, connected by a bridge. We traveled to the ends of the earth, literally the end of the road on both the eastern and western side of the smaller southern island, Tahiti Iti. We found some beautiful beaches and many whales. We also saw a temple, which was very well maintained, in the middle of a neighborhood.
3/ G ATH ERING IN COO K S BAY Daybreak and Starlet joined us in Cooks Bay and we spent several days waiting for a weather window to Huahine and enjoying the surroundings. As is classic with boating, when the weather window came, Duet wasn’t ready. She was ready, but her generator wasn’t; the raw-water pump was leaking. We had planned a late afternoon departure on a short overnight, to arrive at the entrance to western Huahine around 7 a.m. Ron spent most of the day replacing the pump. The generator is critical on the hook. It makes water, does laundry, charges the batteries and runs the air conditioning, so having it down wasn’t an option … So Duet declared a mulligan and decided to leave the next day. Daybreak and Starlet remained as well, to keep us company.

BOAT FINANCING
LENDING L MBADA The boat financing process is a dance. Make sure you know the steps. BY ZUZANA PROCHAZKA

SOLD
HAVE YOU BEEN SHOPPING AT THE BOAT SHOWS? You know, dreamily wandering the docks with that look of “someday” on your face? Well, maybe someday is here and it’s time to start the boat loan lambada. The lending climate couldn’t be any more amenable to putting you behind the wheel of something fast and shiny by summer, so arm yourself with a thorough understanding of the financing process and get ready to cast off. Approximately half of all boats purchased are financed, and that percentage gets higher with purchases of new boats. Securing marine financing is usually faster than with real estate, and working with marine lenders (vs. a personal banker) has its advantages: • They know the industry. • They can process paperwork faster. • They provide worksheets with guidelines. • They have referrals for insurance or other boat ownership needs. • They have experience placing financed boats into LLCs or family trusts.
So where to begin? A self-prequalification will start with a check of your credit score, which can be provided free by your credit card company. If it is 700 or better, you are the type of buyer lenders want to work with, according to Peggy Bodenreider, regional manager at Sterling Acceptance Corp. (sterlingacceptance.com), a marine lender in Southern California. Not there? Don’t despair. Scores in the high 600s may be acceptable. “The score is important,” Bodenreider said, “but so is the overall history, length of time the applicant has had a credit file, recent spending patterns and repayment history on loans of comparable size to the boat loan request.” Michael Bryant, past president of the National Marine Lenders Association (NMLA) and principal at Trident Funding Corp. (tridentfunding. com), said turning to online loan sourcing may work against consumers. “The individual as a whole doesn’t really come across to lenders when applying online,” Bryant
said. “We review the stability of the individual and can help explain issues like a divorce, a larger purchase (as of a home), or a sale (as of a business) that will alter the debt-to-income ratios and credit scores. We present the whole person — it’s what we get paid to do.” In your self-assessment, also consider discretionary income each month — how much can you put toward your new lifestyle? — whether your job looks stable and what ongoing expenses boating will add, such as slip fees, upgrades and fuel, and maintenance and insurance costs. What will make you a more attractive borrower? Try these: • A reasonable debt-to-equity ratio (too many loans make you look overextended) • Loans of a similar size (shows you won’t be overwhelmed by a boat) • Good liquidity after down payment (should have 12 months of payments available if employment changes) • Owning your home (makes good collateral) • A high net worth (a 2:1 equity-to-debt ratio is good) • Prior boating experience (shows you know what you’re in for financially and that you probably won’t wreck the bank’s asset)
If you’ve passed your own test, it’s time for a real preapproval. Why get one? It tells the boat broker or dealer that you’re a serious candidate and will give you more bargaining power in terms of price or added options. It also gets the messy stuff out of the way, so you can focus on getting a boat. “We want the rest of the experience to be nice, and preapproval really moves things along,” Bodenreider said.

3/1/18 7:53 AM
LENDING LAMBADA When is it too early for preapproval? If you have no idea whether to buy a center console fishing boat or a 60-foot offshore yacht, it may be too early for lenders to start checking your credit, because too many inquiries can be problematic when you’re really ready. But if you’ve identified one or two models from one or two builders, preapproval will actually make you a more attractive purchaser. Preapprovals have some longevity — usually a few months.
together,” Bryant said. “But today it can mostly be submitted electronically, so it’s easier and faster.”
For new boats, the process is usually guided by the dealer. Once a loan has been approved, and there’s a copy of the Builder’s Certificate and/or Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin, digital photos of the boat and a HIN to confirm it is completed,
for pre-owned boats is pretty much the same. The boat broker can facilitate much of the process by providing referrals to surveyors and insurance companies, finding comps and holding the deposit in escrow. You’ll need to get (and pay for) a survey and provide a copy of the report to the lender, and that may add time. “We also get copies of the current title or Certificate of Documentation for the boat,” Bodenreider said.
ACCUMULATING THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS IS THE HARDEST PART OF PREAPPROVAL.
But ratios can change, so an update may be required if you’ve been shopping longer than 60 to 90 days. Accumulating the necessary documents is the hardest part of preapproval. You need a copy of your bank statements, two years of tax returns, a real estate schedule, corporate returns (for a business owner) or other proof of self-employed income. “The real issue is getting the package
then loan documents can be ordered. Assuming the boat is in the U.S., it takes about five business days from the day documents are ordered to the time the loan is funded. If the boat is outside the U.S., depending on the lender, copies of shipping documents may be needed, or there can be a wait until the boat has cleared U.S. customs. The financing process and timeframes
Differently Hulled What if you have your eye on something other than a standard new boat? If you’re considering a multihull, houseboat, high-performance boat, a classic (older than 30 years) or a liveaboard vessel, the terms may change, because there’s a risk to resell. Loans for multihulls generally require a larger down payment (20 to 25 percent), as do those for houseboats (25 percent), and banks don’t like liveaboard situations because eviction laws make it difficult to repossess a home, and it’s presumed there’s no primary residence to be used as collateral.
48
Once the buyer has accepted the vessel, the abstract of title is ordered, which takes a day or two to get from the National Vessel Documentation Center. This is used to determine ownership and if there are any loans/liens against the boat. Bodenreider said Sterling Acceptance pays any loans and/or liens from its loan proceeds, so it gets a free and clear title for its borrower and lender. At that point loan documents are ordered, including paperwork for the seller to sign, and it takes about five business days to receive all properly executed papers, forward them to the bank for review and book the loan.
During the downturn, delinquencies hit an all-time high of more than 2 percent, boat values declined by one-third (more than car values) and repossessions were common. Banks were left holding

Lenders
Check out NMLA (marinelenders.org) for an expansive list of available lenders and loan originators. depreciating assets, for which there was no market, and the more “unique” the boat, the more difficult it was to unload. Before you buy the boat, consider how difficult it will be to sell it again. Once the paperwork is done and the application is submitted, expect a turnaround of two to five days. Some lenders fund their own loans, so it’s faster. It does get busier around boat shows as more loans are requested, and that may add time. “The business is a bit seasonal,” Bodenreider said. “The first two quarters are strong, and then it picks up again in September and October.” The closing process usually takes one or two hours once the loan is funded and doesn’t have to be conducted in a stuffy office. “We are flexible and come to the
borrower’s home or place of business, even after hours, to get things wrapped up,” Bryant said.
Boaters today can expect a standard 20/20/4-5 loan — a 20-year loan with a 20 percent down payment at 4 to 5 percent interest — to be processed quickly and relatively hassle free, especially on larger loans. Most lenders offer 15-year financing on loans of $50,000 to $99,999 and 20-year financing on loans of $100,000 or more. Rates (when this story was being compiled) for loans of $100,000 or more start at 4.6 percent. Some lenders, according to Bodenreider, offer a quarter of a percent discount for 800 or better credit scores, and some also offer a quarter of a

percent discount for shorter terms and better equity positions. So what are the options if the decision from a lender comes back negative? “The key is to work with a finance broker that has a stable of good lenders, so there are options,” Bryant said. “Also, brokers can explain that a different coverage is possible that may lower replacement cost and make the deal more attractive to the lender. And you can also make a counteroffer with a higher down payment if the debt ratio is too high.” “Sometimes the borrower has limited boating experience and the lender may hesitate,” Bodenreider said. “In that case, looking for a smaller or newer boat may make the lender more comfortable and still work for the buyer’s needs.”

BIG MOVE SMALLER PLACE One of the beauties of living aboard is being able to take one’s “home” to cruising locations, like Lisa O’Brien and her family do frequently. Here, they’re off Cypress Island.
Align expectations with reality and you’ll never be disappointed.
Meet the Liveaboards
Never have such wise words been so hard to live by, especially when someone gets a wild hair and decides to “downsize” by becoming a liveaboard boat owner. “Why, this can’t be so hard,” the liveaboard-to-be thinks. “I’ll just toss out this and that, move aboard and live a huge romance in my new forever home.” Uh huh, maybe. But first, potential liveaboards need to be sure they fit the liveaboard lifestyle, and that it fits them. We gathered some advice from liveaboards and asked them what questions potential liveaboards need to ask themselves and what things they need to think about before sticking the “For Sale” sign on their lawn.
50
Lisa O’Brien lives aboard a Cheoy Lee 46 LRC in Port Ludlow, Wash., with her husband and young daughter. Her favorite part of this lifestyle is that she can change her scenery while taking her home with her, never having to pack up — just stowing and securing things when they go boating. “Also, our daughter is exposed to new experiences, as every day on the dock is a science class — she sees squid, heron and eagles. She’s also learning to be a steward of the environment and chases down plastic bags wherever she sees them.” Steve Codraro, who lives solo aboard his 45-foot Californian in San Diego, is relatively new to the scene. Although he was a sailor for decades, eight months ago he moved onto a powerboat when he decided to cash out of his home at the top of the market. “I found this to be the answer to an overheated real estate market,” he said. “I sold my home after more than 30 years and found no problems in moving aboard.”

2/28/18 10:17 AM
Sue Morgan moved aboard her Robb 35 almost 37 years ago and now lives with her husband in Southern California. “We wanted to go cruising and thought we should make sure we could deal with each other and all the inconveniences and issues that can come up — before we’re out in the middle of the ocean,” she said. “Even though we aren’t cruising yet, we still love living aboard. The liveaboard community is wonderful.”
With young children aboard, it’s important to observe family time, just like any land-based family.
Key Advice from Liveaboards
Advice mostly centers around knowing exactly what kind of boat you want and why. Codraro stresses the importance of having a broker who understands what you need and can guide you to the right vessel. Make a list of the must-haves and commit it to paper before settling on a new home. “You want a boat that you won’t want to escape after a long, rainy weekend,” he said. Other advice includes knowing yourself. O’Brien — whose stuff has been in storage for five and a half years — recommends not selling everything right away unless you’re ready to buy all new stuff if it becomes clear living aboard isn’t for you. She pointed out that liveaboards must be comfortable with change, because each winter storm and small mishap means they must roll with the punches. “Some personalities aren’t built for this,” she said. Morgan said neighbors help neighbors in marinas, and liveaboards have to be ready to lend a hand. She also sums up her favorite observations. “We have more freedom, less stress, a friendlier neighborhood and we’re closer to nature,” she said, adding that one key is to not take anything too seriously. “I got to buy all new jeans when a deck fix leaked epoxy into a locker and glued all of mine together.”
5 Questions to Ask
Q. Can I expect life aboard to be simpler?
Smaller doesn’t equal simpler. “We’ve definitely had to develop new skills to deal with boat chores,” O’Brien said. “We bought a project boat, so there’s always something to fix, and the work isn’t simpler, just different. You accumulate a lot of firsts: the first time to fix a leak, the first time to correctly calculate how much diesel the heater uses, and so on. It’s a great exercise in problem-solving.”
Q. Am I ready for a little inconvenience?
Living aboard is wonderful when you’re watching the sunset from the flybridge. But day-to-day life can be a different story. Ask yourself if you’re OK with hauling dirty clothes to the marina laundry facility, maybe in the rain. How will you feel when you’re searching for that ever-missing dock cart when it’s time to haul groceries? Will you make time to go to the pumpout station, and are you mentally prepared for that bit of repetitive fun? Will you have time to stop by the post office mailbox every day? Where will Amazon deliveries go? Life aboard includes a few realities that make pulling into a dry garage with a huge Costco load look like a luxury.

Asking the right questions and considering the right factors make the difference between a liveaboard success story and a liveaboard fail. B Y Z UZ A N A P R O C H A Z K A SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2018

BIG MOVE SMALLER PLACE Q. Is this lifestyle really for me long term?
Again, time is the great equalizer. A summer aboard may make you feel exotic as you answer coworkers’ questions about what it’s like to live on a boat. However, while full-time long-term liveaboard status is viewed by some as romantic, others may see it as living in a parking lot made of water. How do you really feel about it? Are you comfortable with inevitably and repeatedly defending it to friends and family? Are you really on the same page about it with your significant other? You can lie to others but

Living aboard is wonderful when you’re watching the sunset from the flybridge. doing so to yourself isn’t sustainable, so take a hard look at your values and current lifestyle and write down solid reasons why you want to do this.

“Impatience, lack of organizational skills and being unsocial or inflexible will not serve you well when living aboard,” Morgan said. O’Brien agreed, saying she and her husband just take it as it comes and often say “We can handle it.” You’ll also need to patiently manage the “advice” from friends and family. “Our family freaked out when we moved aboard with a 2-year-old,” O’Brien said. “But we’ve

When the O’Briens’ boat was hit by a 150-footer while at the end-tie of their dock, boating neighbors immediately came out in droves to help. One even cared for their child while they

Q. Is this a transitional stage before cruising or just a new neighborhood?
Many people use living aboard in preparation for cruising. It’s a great idea to learn to live small before untying the docklines. Others just enjoy the marina ambiance and the relatively low cost of this kind of waterfront living. Again, be honest with yourself: Which one are you? It’s easy to get comfortable living aboard even if you plan to leave “someday.” Marinas are filled with unrealized cruising dreams. If you’re just making a change, enjoy. If you’re planning on cruising, set a date for departure and stick to it.

Happy baitfish are healthy baitfish, and rounded corners are one element of a livewell that keeps bait happy. A viewing porthole, such as on this SeaVee 370Z, or a clear lid, such as on a Boston Whaler Conquest 345 (opposite), allows anglers to keep watch on the bait’s health.

HERE’S THE LOWDOWN ON CHOOSING, MAINTAINING AND BENEFITTING FROM AN INTEGRATED LIVEWELL.
I
BY LENNY RUDOW
f you want to have the biggest, baddest, bait-haulingest boat in the marina, you need to have the ultimate livewell aboard. Luckily for anglers, today’s boat builders put a lot of care and effort into making sure their integrated livewells are nothing less than a room at the Ritz in the eyes of sardines and squid. Still, in some cases you’ll want a custom job, so you can haul an entire baitball to the fishing grounds. And at other times, a hidden weakness may allow a so-so well to look wonderful. Keep these key features in mind, as you choose the living quarters for your livies.
SIZE MATTERS
Above all else, overcrowding is what leads to dead baits. Obviously bigger is better, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Judge a boat’s live-baiting abilities by overall capacity, not by a single livewell volume number. Because while single large livewells do work well for keeping a single species of baits alive, many serious anglers want to keep different baits segregated so they can target different pelagics. Consider Salty, a 63 Weaver sportfish designed specifically for West Coast live-baiting, for example. The main well in the cockpit holds 250 gallons. But a secondary transom well has another 100 gallons of capacity. Then there’s a third 90-gallon well in the deck. In addition, there are eight tuna tubes integrated into the gunwales. That gives Salty’s crew the ability to keep four different bait species, ranging in size from minnow to monsters, each in the most appropriate environment. This is, of course, a rather extreme example. Most boats of this size will have a 50- or 60-gallon livewell, and possibly a second well of 30 or 40 gallons. Just what does this translate to in capability? As a rule of thumb, plan on a minimum of a gallon of capacity per pound of live fish, for the average species. In other words, the common SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2018

LIVEWELL massive volume of water carried by this sort of boat. And remember that a pump doesn’t deliver close to 100 percent efficiency, thanks to bends in hoses, lifts above water level and other mitigating factors. So rather than utilize a standard-issue pump, this ultimate system instead gets its flow from a pair of 1.5 hp Hayward Jacuzzi pumps. At 100 perfect efficiency these could move up to 14,000 gph. No, the system certainly isn’t going to run at that level, but a manifold system allows for

50-gallon livewell will keep 50 one-pound greenies alive during a day of fishing, and should be OK with twice as many sardines. But, there’s a catch.
FLOW IS A GO
Insufficient water flow is the second-most common issue with livewells and, unfortunately, is regularly an Achilles heel. I’ve
come across boats with 50-gallon livewells that are fed by rather puny pumps that only turn the water over every 10 or 15 minutes. By the time it does get fully exchanged, half the livies are deadies. Let’s go back to Salty for an example of the ultimate. Regular livewell pumps — which, truth be told, are usually repurposed bilge pumps — are simply not built strong enough to reliably produce a sufficient flow for the
the adjustment of water flow between the different wells to the point that a single tunatube can be set to 1,800 gph. Back here on planet Earth, of course, rigs like this aren’t what we see on a regular basis. More likely, flow systems will have gph ratings that are around 42 times the total capacity of the well, which is considered by many — including experts such as Dr. Daniel Benetti, director of aquaculture at the University of Miami — sufficient for keeping most fish in good condition. So by traditional theory, a boat with 100 gallons of total capacity should have at least 4,200 gph powering it. If you

see less in a system, be wary. There are other variables that come into play, as well. The flow of water should create a current that goes beyond the length of the average bait’s body length per second. The position of water inlets and drains also has a significant impact, because if the flow in a well isn’t properly designed, “dead spots” can occur where gyres of static water don’t get exchanged. FA S T FAC T
SHAPED & SCULPTED
Almost everyone has caught on to the fact that livewells can’t have sharp corners, yet I still see a few carelessly-designed examples of square or rectangular livewells now and again. In these cases, baitfish will get stuck in a corner and beat themselves to death while swimming into the fiberglass again and again. Boat owners with one of these fish-killing wells aboard can mitigate this issue a bit, though not ideally, by adding a perforated oval insert. It’s much better, of course, to start with an oval shape. Round wells are good, too, although oval generally provides the most capacity because it maximizes the amount of space available in the transom, which is where many livewells are located. Speaking of…
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Livewells are most commonly located in transoms, forward cockpit units, or are integrated into the deck. In the case of center console boats, livewells are integrated under the forward console seat with some regularity. Custom boats built with unlimited budgets for sight-casting to marlin may also have a livewell in the bow. There are two main considerations when
1 Gallon/1 Lb. As a rule of thumb, plan on a minimum of a gallon of capacity per pound of live fish, for the average species.
Livewell Fails Many boat builders have tried integrating livewells into their boats without practical experience or sufficient research. The net result? Here are some of the most lethal livewell fails we’ve spotted through the years. Dumb Drains. Plumbing a livewell without a strainer or screen of some sort protecting the drain is asking for serious trouble. Sooner or later one of the baitfish will get sucked down into the plumbing and lodged in a hose. Nobody will see it happen — but everyone will smell it a few days later. Dumber Drains. Standpipes are very common and in many ways, very bad. Some can get jostled free by an aggressive use of the bait net, or even by sloshing water, which can lead to a dry well full of dead baits. On top of that they get in the way when someone’s trying to capture a bait for the hook. And if they break off or become damaged, the well becomes completely unusable; overflow drains are far superior. Obtuse Thinking. Common sense might dictate that tuna tubes should be round, but common sense would be wrong. Round tubes can send those little tunnies spinning in a strong water flow, while oval-shaped tubes will keep them upright, happy and lively. White Lights. Anyone who goes night fishing knows the last thing you want to do in the inky darkness is lean your face over a livewell illuminated with blinding bright white lights. Red is the appropriate color for livewell lights, because it doesn’t destroy one’s night vision. Homicidal Hatches. Hatches and lids for livewells need to dog down tightly, on a gasket. If there’s no gasket they’re sure to leak, and if they don’t dog down, they can be utterly murderous. On one boat I tested, the hatch didn’t dog down, and it also had a rough fiberglass edge. As the boat hit waves, the hatch would fly open and a fish or two would slosh halfway out, before another wave sent the hatch slamming back down. On arrival at the fishing grounds, our beautiful baitfish littered the aft deck in bits and pieces after being chopped into chum, thanks to the slamming of that hatchet-like hatch.

ALL’S WELL IN THE
LIVEWELL
THE DETAILS
Along with all of the major factors we’ve looked at, a number of minor yet important details will have a huge effect on how well a livewell does or does not keep baits kicking:
• Interior color. Scientific studies performed at Mote Marine Laboratories have proven that a baby-blue interior keeps baits calmer than a plain white interior. Calmer bait is healthier bait. • Plumbing runs. Builders who leave excess hose instead of cutting it down to size, or force sharp bends instead of gentle curves, will reduce the efficiency of the water flow in the system. • Visibility. It’s nice to have some sort of viewing port or a clear lid, so you can keep an eye on the baits and see if any are dying off or looking lethargic.
A baby-blue interior keeps baits calmer than a plain white interior.
• Pressurization. Pressurized livewells, which have a seal at the top and fill to the brim, minimize sloshing and thereby minimize wear and tear on the baits during a run to the fishing grounds.
The Pursuit OS 355 Offshore uses a baby-blue livewell interior to keep baitfish calmer.
determining a livewell’s prime positioning: convenience to the anglers and its effect on the boat. At eight pounds per gallon (8.345404, if you want to get picky about it) water isn’t light, so a 50- or 100-gallon livewell placed above the waterline will have an effect on all but the biggest boats. If it’s located along the boat’s centerline, it will raise the boat’s center of gravity, impacting stability. If it’s located off centerline, it will impact both stability and lateral trim. Unless it’s dead amidships, it may also affect running angle. That would seem to be an excellent argument for locating all livewells down
low in the deck. But as usual, when it comes to any element of boat design there are tradeoffs to be made. Bending over or kneeling for a bait every time can get tiresome, especially for older anglers who have a bad back. Integrating a well in the deck also means sacrificing space that could be used for integrated fishboxes or stowage areas. And livewells located in the deck can’t be outfitted with clear hatches or viewing ports, which makes it harder to monitor the bait’s condition. The bottom line? Location preferences vary from angler to angler and boat builder to boat builder. None is perfect, but each has its own unique advantages.
• Multilevel inlets. Livewells that are fed from multiple levels, as opposed to being filled just from the bottom or just from the top, have better mixing qualities and tend not to have dead spots where water doesn’t get exchanged. • Net holders mounted to the underside of the livewell’s hatch are convenient and eliminate frantic searches for the net when there’s a hot bite. In case it’s starting to seem like designing the ultimate livewell is as complex as intergalactic travel, just remember that in both cases the goal is to keep a living being alive in a completely hostile environment. To the baitfish and squid, a boat is just as inhospitable as outer space. And that’s before anglers stick a hook through them. But for anyone who wants to be the live-lining highliner — the boat that hits the dock with the biggest catches and the fullest fishboxes — having the ultimate livewell is sure to help.

which aren’t eaten but rather are used to “fish” through normally inaccessible places to pull wires through. They’re three-foot-long thin fiberglass rods (like a fly-fishing rod diameter) one screws together for length, and one of the set has an attachment hook on it. They come in 15- and 30-foot sets. Supposedly one can see bright orange in dark places a lot easier than a rusty old black broken throttle cable with permanent circular loops. Since I hate to get caught short trying to get from one end of a rigging tube to another, I got the 30-foot set. I studied the fish sticks’ ability to be seen in varying controlled light situations. What I discovered was that no matter what the light, if any, one couldn’t see the rods’ location any better than the old remote control cable. Armed with those disappointing results, I searched for “luminous paint,” of which
there were all kinds, so I ordered two ounces of light green luminous paint that Amazon Prime delivered two days later. I spread newspapers all over the clean kitchen island, opened the carrying tube and laid out the 10 three-foot sections. I took a paper towel, dipped it in the paint and wiped both ends of each rod with the liquid. In some situations, “more” is not better, but this wasn’t one of those times. I dipped each rod end — with no consideration for the connecting threads — into the tiny jar. About five seconds later I figured I’d be in deep doo if The Nurse got this mess on her apron, or worse yet, in some bread she was baking. So I took all the sections out onto the deck, where I placed them to dry perpendicularly on the railing. Looking at them that evening, I could see a bit of luminescence, but I couldn’t visualize seeing it routed through a pitch-black tube. I returned them to their carrying case and,
to no one’s surprise, haven’t needed them. As Paul Harvey used to say, “And now for the rest of the story.” That night, as is usual when I can’t sleep, I got out of bed, went to the kitchen, made cocoa, sat in my wicker chair, drank the cocoa, turned off the light, closed my eyes. And opened them again. Oh, Lord, I know I didn’t see that. Glowing merrily in the dark on our new tile floor were the excess drippings from “more has to be better” — from the counter all the way to the deck railing. Always the optimist, I tried to count the “good newses.” 1) If she comes in the kitchen at night, she turns on the light — no light-green spots! 2) I … couldn’t come up with another. Bad news? Dark is coming faster this winter, and sooner or later she’ll come over to where I’m snoozing in the chair, give me a kiss, turn around, see the green, and what she’ll say is probably best left unprinted. I’m ready for summer.

When we saw it at the Miami International Boat Show, it was always full of people, probably owing to its size, obvious fishing amenities and bow seating area that points to its versatility. At 45 feet long, the Canyon 456 is a big center console, which is why four Yamaha F350 V-8 four strokes hang from the transom. In initial Grady-White tests, the boat exceeded 55 mph, so it can scoot from fishing spot to fishing spot. And it is outfitted with the fishing features to excel.

Baker stood proudly to the east across Rosario Strait, and a couple of young children played on the square-shaped sandy beach at the head of the bay. A bad case of cabin fever had set in during the past few weeks, so with excellent cruising weather predicted for the next couple of days, we decided to release the lines and set a course for the San Juan Islands. The choice as to where to go in the islands was just as easy for Arlene and me. Located on the southeast shoreline of Lopez Island, Watmough Bay is less than 12 miles from our marina in Anacortes, but with its solitude and
unspoiled beauty it seems much more distant. With flat seas and a strong ebbing tide running in our favor, we arrived in no time. The approach into the bay is unobstructed, with Boulder Island and Watmough Head to port and the cliffs of Chadwick Hill to starboard. Boaters approaching from the south should avoid the narrow pass between Watmough Head and Boulder Island, which is shallow and SEAMAGAZINE.COM APRIL 2018

Anchoring is possible in the bay at a depth of 20 to 30 feet over a flat but thickly kelp-covered rocky bottom; ensure the anchor is well set. Open to the northeast, Watmough Bay provides reasonable protection with the exception of the occasional wake from commercial vessel traffic that transits Rosario Strait. The San Juan County Land Trust has installed, near the head of the bay, three buoys with screw-in anchors with mid-rode floats, to minimize disturbance to the seafloor vegetation. The hope is visiting boaters will use the buoys instead of an anchor that may disturb the seafloor. The buoys are restricted to boats of 45 feet or

less for their use, and there is a 72-hour limit to stay. A fourth buoy in the bay is marked private and is not a part of the SJC Land Trust mooring system. After Easy Goin’ was secured to a buoy, we spent the balance of the afternoon relaxing on the back deck and enjoying refreshments while we watched six turkey vultures float in the building thermals above and a couple of peregrine falcons build a nest on the sun-drenched rock cliff. Watmough Bay is so close, yet we felt like we were in a far-away destination. Shortly after our arrival, a Kadey-Krogen trawler tied to one of the other buoys and a sailboat set the hook farther out in the mouth of the bay. In season, the area is rich in seafood, so visitors might consider setting crab or shrimp pots, jigging for lingcod or trolling for a salmon dinner. The following morning, we witnessed a striking sunrise, and then the bay filled with a light fog. After a day of relaxing on board and enjoying the weather, wildlife and scenery, it was time to go ashore and do some exploring. We launched the dinghy, grabbed the camera and rowed ashore. What we discovered was a beautiful sand-andgravel beach with large drift logs at the high-tide line, perfect for sitting and viewing the bay and the moored boats framed by cliffs on one side and forested hills on the other. The beach was warm and very inviting, but we needed to get some exercise after spending the past day lounging on board. Watmough Bay Preserve lies adjacent to a portion of the San Jan Islands National Monument. Combined, these public lands protect more than 400 acres and are cooperatively managed by the San Juan County Land Trust and Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for trails and habitat preservation. Watmough Bight is monitored by the Lopez-based, conservation laboratory Kwiaht and local volunteers as part of a long-term study of salmon, seabirds and climate change. A shady gravel trail leads from the beach, 300 yards along a freshwater marsh, to a parking lot where visitors will discover a bulletin board with the area’s history and trail maps. One trail leads around the head of the marsh and back to the beach. About halfway there is an intersection with a short trail that steeply ascends 470 feet to Chadwick Hill Lookout, which overlooks the bay. Another trail from the beach wanders 1.2 miles out to Point Colville and its view of Lopez Island’s rugged Juan de Fuca Strait shoreline. On a clear day the vista across the straits of the snowcapped Olympic Mountains is breathtaking. Back aboard Easy Goin’ it was time to nurse our tired legs and quench our thirst with our favorite beverage and absorb the last of the afternoon sun. Watmough Bay is one of the most picturesque anchorages in the San Juan Islands and the perfect medication for a case of cabin fever. PNW-4

MEET DEANNA KELLER Marketing Chairperson of the Daffodil Marine Festival and Parade
THE TACOMA DAFFODIL MARINE PARADE, which has been held since 1952, is a lot like the Rose Parade, but sub out the roses for daffodils and the parade floats for actual floating boats. Each year the Tacoma Yacht Club hosts the Daffodil Princess Court and dozens of yachts and marine vessels in the Daffodil Marine Festival and Parade, to be held April 15. Deanna Keller, the festival’s marketing chairperson, sat down with us to share the scoop. SEA: What can boaters expect at the marine parade? Deanna Keller: There is a flag ceremony and then the actual parade begins at the Tacoma Yacht Club, near the Point Defiance Ferry Terminal, and it continues along the waterfront to the Thea Foss Waterway in downtown Tacoma. The participating yacht clubs arrive on Friday and are moored in the basin to decorate the boats. The flag ceremony is kind of like the celebration on opening day for the south Sound season. All of the bridge officers and commodores announce the club burgees (flags) and then the yacht club fires the cannon to bless the fleet. After the flag ceremony, the dinghy crew leads the boats out to the parade route. If boaters would like to view the parade, Dock Street Marina has transient moorage, Delin Docks also offers guest mooring, and there is a large dock for the public located in the front of Foss Waterway near the museum. Interested parties can also view the parade from the new MetroParks Park next to Tacoma Yacht Club, Point Ruston, Ruston Way Park, or any of the restaurants along the Thea Foss Waterway. Who can participate in the parade? Yacht Clubs and local organizations will create the boat “floats.” Boaters can moor or safely raft off Ruston Way to get a close-up view of the parade. What is the Daffodil Marine Festival’s background? The Daffodil Festival (daffodilfestival.org) has been an important western Washington event since 1926, when Mr. and Mrs.

Charles W. Orton hosted civic leaders from 125 towns in western Washington at their home for a garden party. It was such a success that it became an annual affair, with the Marine Parade added in 1952. Is there a theme, and how are the marshal and princesses chosen? This year’s theme is “Traditions in Bloom.” The Marine Parade is one of the last events that is part of the Daffodil Festival where you can wave at the Daffodil Court of princesses before they tour the country. The Marine Parade Grand Marshal is chosen by the yacht club committee based on their volunteerism to the Tacoma Yacht Club. The princesses are chosen by their respective high schools to represent Pierce County, similar to the Rose Festival and Seafair Festival. These girls represent our community during their visits to many other cities nationwide.

QUICK ESCAPE
THE HAR-HARHARBOR
Ventura Harbor is a great stop for a few different reasons. SITUATED ON THE CHANNEL ISLANDS coast, Ventura Harbor has eclectic offerings that include entertainment, food, a team-building activity that’s actually fun and more. On the entertainment front, the harbor has a comedy destination, a new business called the Escape Room and even a classic arcade — something for everyone a stone’s throw from the docks. Boaters who are looking for a good belly laugh can stay over and enjoy all the unique amenities Ventura Harbor has to offer. WHERE TO MOOR Ventura Yacht Club 1 offers guest docks for visiting boat owners, at $0.75 per foot per night. Visitors should call ahead to see if there are available berths, as they are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. There are also several markets and chandleries, for resupplying and vessel service. Dave’s Fuel Dock 2 is a full-service gasoline and diesel fuel dock with ice, food, beer, live bait and tackle right in the harbor. Ventura Harbor Boatyard Chandlery 3 offers a large selection of nuts, bolts, zincs, fittings, packing, painting supplies and much more for boating repair needs and supplies. The Village Market 4 will supply boaters with all their fresh food and sundry needs.
H AV E A L AU G H There are several unusual attractions available right in the harbor, including the Ventura Harbor Comedy Club 5 , which offers nightly shows Thursday through Sunday, with special events and show times, so check its website for the schedule. The Ultimate Escape Rooms 6 offers an immersive experience where a team of participants must observe clues and solve puzzles in order to “escape” a room. Each puzzle excursion is one-hour long, so book ahead of time to secure one of four different escape rooms, with varying degrees of difficulty. For a more traditional way to unwind by the harbor, stop by the Village Carousel and Arcade 7 to play some old-timey games and ride the carousel, for some nostalgia. WHET YOUR APPETITE If a combination of belly laughs and leisure work up one’s appetite, the heart of the harbor hosts an abundance of restaurants at any price range and variety.

BROKERAGE ADVICE
APRIL’S QUESTIONS Buying a boat entails writing some rather large checks. How do I know those funds are safe?
Yacht sales professionals will safeguard funds in an escrow account. They will assure that any existing loan or other encumbrances will be paid off, or otherwise satisfied, at the time of closing and that no other liabilities remain outstanding. This is critically important to the buyer and the seller, and can be a potentially serious hazard in a private transaction not involving a broker.
Is an on-the-water slip always the best option for mooring a boat? That depends on a number of factors, and each owner’s personal preferences. Here are some of the advantages of slip moorage: • • • • •
Answer from Certified Professional Yacht Brokers (cpyb.net)
Here are potential disadvantages of slip moorage:
How difficult is it really to set a yacht’s sales price? All I need to do is look at comparable vessels on the market. A yacht sales professional will help you establish the fair market value of a boat to help you determine a fair asking price or a realistic offer price. There is a bit of an art in pricing a boat. A professional broker will know comparable boats and where a specific boat fits in the marketplace. If you are a seller working on your own, improper pricing means fewer qualified buyers will be attracted to your boat and it will likely sit on the market piling up expenses without selling. A realistic price is one of the keys to successfully selling a boat. Anyone can look up asking prices on boats in the marketplace, but it takes someone in the business to accurately assess all the factors that determine the value of a specific boat (e.g., condition, outfitting, location) and to be familiar with selling prices. Answer from CPYB
Boat is always in the water and ready to go No waiting lines for launching or hauling Covered protection is often available, if preferred Boat is naturally supported, less stress on hull Less potential for damage from a slight freeze
• • • • • •
Typically the most costly option More maintenance below the waterline Zinc replacement Bottom cleaning and painting Resale of a condo slip if purchasing a larger boat Continuing cost even when boat is not in active use Answer from Northwest Yacht Brokers Association (nwyachtbrokers.com)
