e’ve heard over and over lately how crazy Americans have become about boats of all types and sizes. It makes sense, as boating is a great way to enjoy the outdoors in the company of one’s family, while feeling safe from the pandemic. A friend of mine owns a catamaran here in Biscayne Bay, and I was invited aboard several afternoons during these past few months. I relished the thrill of going out on a boat, removing my mask, forgetting for a while about flattening curves and contagious rates, breathing in the summer breeze, going in for a swim, and then watching the sunset over the horizon with a drink in my hand while waiting for the barbecue to be ready. A superb experience I could happily repeat over and over again, like millions of boaters around the country.

Chartering a yacht or buying a boat - whether it’s a jet-ski, a kayak, a dinghy, a sailboat or a yacht, seems like a smart choice right now. During this time of social isolation, there are not that many activities one could do that are adventurous and exciting, and being on the water is definitely one of them.

Ú

ltimamente hemos escuchado una y otra vez lo locos que se han vuelto los estadounidenses por los barcos de todos los tipos y tamaños. Tiene sentido, ya que navegar es una excelente manera de disfrutar del aire libre en compañía de la familia, mientras uno se siente a salvo de la pandemia. Un amigo mío tiene un catamarán aquí en Biscayne Bay y me invitó a bordo varias tardes durante estos últimos meses.

Disfruté de la emoción de salir en barco, de poder quitarme la máscara, de olvidarme por un tiempo de las curvas de contagio que no se terminan de aplanar, de respirar la brisa del verano, de nadar en el mar, y luego ver el atardecer en el horizonte con una bebida en mi mano mientras esperaba que el asado estuviera listo. Una experiencia magnífica que encantada podría repetir una y otra vez, como millones de aficionados a la náutica en todo el país.

Tanto chartear un barco o comprar una embarcación, ya sea una moto acuática, un kayak, un bote, un velero o un barco a motor, resulta una opción inteligente en este momento.

Durante este aislamiento social, no hay muchas actividades que uno pueda hacer que sean aventureras y emocionantes, y estar en el agua es definitivamente una de ellas. | 10 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

A Bird’s Eye View of the Herreshoff Classic Regatta Text & Photos by NANCY BLOOM

M

any of the sailing events this year were cancelled or postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Herreshoff Classic Regatta was one sailing event that took place with strict local safety guidelines. Keeping my distance during the pandemic, I was able to get a bird’s-eye view of the scaled-back regatta at 500-feet above Narragansett Bay.

| 14 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

Classic yachts, many of them Herreshoff designs, competed in an annual race that started out with a feeder race from Newport to Bristol, Rhode Island, home of the Herreshoff Marine Museum.

Outlier (Harvey Jones), won the CRF Division; Aquila (Geoff Davis), won the S Class Division; and Mugsy (Jay Kolyer), won the Catboat Division.

A

total of 65 boats started the 2020 Ida Lewis Distance Race presented by Jeanneau America on Saturday August 15 in a building northeasterly that dished out 20-22 knots of breeze (and a few knock-down gusts) throughout most of the day and into the evening and overnight. By the time racing had finished for two offshore classes (IRC and PHRF Doublehanded) and three inshore classes (PHRF Aloha, PHRF Coronet and PHRF Cruising Spinnaker), 16 boats had

retired; however, plenty of teams were left to beam about their accomplishments, each one crossing the finish line in Newport Harbor, near where they started, and receiving – no matter what the hour – a congratulatory bottle of Zardetto Prosecco delivered to them on the water by Ida Lewis Yacht Club volunteers.

Taiwan No. 1 Yacht Manufacturing Nation in Asia Defiant Growth Against Global Headwinds

T

aiwan is surrounded by sea, and has been dependent upon the ocean through its history. Such privileged natural conditions also have led the marine industry chain to a bustling development. In recent years, the government has greatly supported the shipbuilding industry and national manufacturing of yachts; the latter has earned Taiwan particular distinction. Despite facing competition from traditional yacht manufacturers in countries like Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands, Taiwan has become the sixthlargest manufacturing nation in the world and the first in Asia thanks to its superyachts (yachts over 24 meters in length). Q1 to Q3 2019 saw export profits of US$186 million.

Many of Taiwan’s yacht exports’ have been to the US, mainly Florida. In 2019, Florida imported a total of $826.7 million in yachts from around the world, of which $138.5 million were directly imported from Taiwan.

The Taiwan International Boat Show is held in Kaohsiung biannually. In 2018, it attracted over 20,000 visitors and buyers from over thirty countries, most of which came from China, USA, Korea, Japan, and Singapore. Thus, it can be considered an international yacht show of importance to the AsiaPacific region. This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 show has been postponed to March 10th through 13th, 2022.Despite several factors that contributed to a slight drop in global yacht demand in 2019, Taiwan yacht brands still achieved considerable breakthroughs thanks to their customized design, professional woodwork, advanced material

R&D, and an agile and highly efficient supply chain. Take Horizon Yachts – winner of the Taiwan Excellence Award – as an example. In 2019, its annual revenue grew by 14.3%, making it the 9th largest superyacht manufacturer in the world – up two places from 2018.

The 28th Taiwan Excellence Awards Selection was organized by the Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs and implemented by TAITRA. An 80foot luxury motor yacht from Horizon Yachts and the Monte Fino V76 from Kha Shing Ent. (with self-owned brand Monte Fino Yachts) stood out as the only two yacht winning products during this edition. Moreover, Monte Fino V76 took the award upon its first submission this year. Kha Shing Ent. and famous British designer Humphreys collaborated in the Monte Fino V76 project. With a sleek design that combines a luxurious and imposing brand image, Monte Fino V76 defies and surpasses the poise of 100-ft yachts.

Taiwan Excellence uses diverse marketing methods to enhance industrial advertising and increases in-depth coverage. It leverages its social media accounts, online platform promotion, and international media publicity in different locations to strengthen the Taiwanese yacht industry image of excellence and international branding in Europe, the Americas, and the New Southbound markets: Southeast Asia and Australasia.

PANERAI SUBMERSIBLE GOLDTECH™ OROCARBO - 44MM P

anerai continues its relentless pursuit of novel applications for materials. The next frontier is a new and unusual combination in the Submersible family: a professional diving watch with experimental aesthetics.

The rare combination of innovation and tradition defies convention, Panerai expands the dimensions of its collection of diving instruments with an offering that combines two innovative materials for the first time: Panerai GoldtechTM and CarbotechTM. Though seemingly antithetical, the pairing is surprisingly complementary in the Submersible GoldtechTM - 44 mm (PAM01070).

Conceived to realize its full potential in extreme conditions, and tailored to the specific requirements of diving, the Submersible GoldtechTM - 44 mm is configured as a highly reliable tool able to withstand high pressure thanks to features like a unidirectional

rotating bezel and screwed caseback. Luminescent indexes, hands and dots in green/blue are immediately legible underwater.

High quality mechanics contribute to the model’s reliability, accuracy and precision, all functional contributions thanks to the P.900 Caliber. The next-generation movement was designed and developed entirely by the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel.

Notably for a watch of its diameter and thickness (4.2mm), it combines a date indication and three-day power reserve.

Water resistant up to 30 bar (about 300 meters deep) the new Submersible GoldtechTM - 44 mm features a black rubber strap and a trapezoidal pin buckle in titanium with black DLC coating.

An additional strap composed of Panerai SportechTM in black with ecru stitching also accompanies the watch, along with a screwdriver for removing the buckle and a box made from recycled plastic.

Ready to sail in 15 minutes and transportable by bike: IZIBoat® makes sailing effortless with all the fun of a standard boat! | 22 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

H

oliday home owners have just one wish: to be able to take their boat to the sea for a shore trip, either on their own or with their family, at any time of the day, and to enjoy the water and the coastline. But here’s the thing: boats are expensive to buy and to maintain. They are very difficult to transport and come with many limitations.

François Tissier has designed a revolutionary boat specifically adapted to holidaymakers who want to take advantage of the open water. Meet IZIBoat®, the leisure boat of your dreams.

IZIBoat® is a small catamaran that takes just 15 minutes to assemble.

Steering is a piece of cake with its easy-to-use joystick. “Sailing is intuitive, easy, and safe,” explains François Tissier. “And, since all the controls are within easy reach, there’s no need to get up and move around the boat - you can do everything from the comfort of your own seat.” Launching the boat is also very simple, thanks to the boat’s removable wheels. IZIBoat® allows anyone to experience the thrill of sailing, whatever your age or physical ability, with up to four people on board. The boat has exceptional stability, which means that everyone can enjoy it. It is perfect for families with children, elderly people, and those with limited mobility.

Private yacht excursions take over luxury travel Text & Image courtesy of Exclusive Resorts

W

ith coronavirus outbreaks leaving once die-hard cruisers scarred and the CDC’s recommendation that people defer traveling on cruise ships due to the high risk of contracting COVID-19, thalassophiles have turned to a more socially-distanced (and luxurious) alternative: private yachts.

Due to the pandemic, interest in private travel and membership-based clubs has skyrocketed, as they offer enhanced cleanliness standards, privacy and flexibility. Elite vacation club Exclusive Resorts, for example, has seen multiple new member sign-ups since March despite travel restrictions.

In addition to 400+ private vacation Residences worldwide, The Club offers personalized, once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences like its ever-popular private yacht excursions, which accommodate up to 8 people and sell out every year.

These safe sanctuaries at sea provide extreme privacy and safety from COVID-19, allowing people peace of mind while reconnecting with families, friends and others within their circles of trust. The Club just announced dates for its summer 2021 yacht experiences, including itineraries in The Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.

Considerations when chartering a yacht: Tips from a pro

By Jen Duncan

W

hen chartering a yacht, there are many things to consider. In my experience planning luxury boating experiences for clients and as a charter guest, I’ve learned a thing or two. Here are my tips for a wonderful charter trip.

The checklist.

Yes, yacht size matters, but many other features enhance your experience.

A seasoned luxury yacht and trip planner can help refine your list of requirements, even suggesting features you might not know exist. The list of water toys may catch your eye, but did you know some yachts feature dual master suites perfect for when friends are chartering a boat together?

The crew.

The vessel is only the starting point. You also want the captain and crew to align with your travel style. We have coordinated video chats between clients and the crew to discuss their charter. | 24 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

From onboard theme nights to port selection, your yacht crew serves as ambassadors to an incredible overall experience while also managing practical matters of your trip. It is key that they are a good fit for you and your guests.

The details.

We have a few tricks up our sleeve after coordinating numerous luxury day charters and term charters, including having access to unpublished yacht availability. Knowing the nuances of the yacht industry is absolutely key to creating an ideal trip. For example, we can help you selectively choose your ports, resulting in tax savings.

Whether you’ve chartered a yacht countless times or you’re planning your first excursion, these tips will help you ask the right questions.

Even better, let a seasoned trip designer handle the details to perfect your luxury yacht experience.

Featuring the patented and revolutionary low-drag Amfihull design, the Hermes Speedster exhibits superb acceleration and on-water performance by maintaining a nearly horizontal attitude throughout the planing-mode speed range. Moreover, the Speedster’s low center of gravity provides great on-water handling as well as class-leading vessel stability underway. At rest, the Speedster boasts an incredibly low side inclination of just 7 degrees with 1000lbs of weight on one side. Watertight compartments generating positive buoyancy make the Speedster unsinkable. Eco-friendly by virtue of an exceptionally low fuel consumption of almost 8 miles per US gallon, the Speedster is quick to come on plane. Acceleration and handling are both impressive and exhilarating. The Hermes Speedster is powered by the Rotax 1503 NA 155hp by BRP - the same engine that powers the top-of-the-line See-Doo watercraft and with service points available worldwide. For a fully green, zero emissions package the Hermes Speedster is also available with electric propulsion.

Based in the UK, Seven Seas Yachts was founded in 2011. Production facilities are located in Greece. The company launched its first yacht, the Legend 54, in 2012 which was followed soon thereafter by the Legend 56 Fly and the Hermes GranTurismo. The Hermes Speedster is the company’s most recent launch.

Con el diseño de baja resistencia patentado y revolucionario de Amfihull, el Hermes Speedster exhibe una excelente aceleración y rendimiento en el agua al mantener una actitud casi horizontal en todo el rango de velocidad del modo de planeo. Además, el bajo centro de gravedad del Speedster proporciona una excelente maniobrabilidad en el agua y una estabilidad de embarcación líder en su clase. En reposo, el Speedster cuenta con una inclinación increíblemente baja de solo 7 grados con 1000 libras de peso en un lado. Los compartimentos estancos que generan una flotabilidad positiva hacen que el Speedster sea insumergible. Respetuoso con el medio ambiente en virtud de un consumo de combustible excepcionalmente bajo de casi 8 millas por galón estadounidense, el Speedster llega rápidamente al planeo. La aceleración y el manejo son impresionantes y estimulantes. El Hermes Speedster funciona con el Rotax 1503 NA 155hp de BRP, el mismo motor que impulsa la embarcación de primera línea See-Doo y con puntos de servicio disponibles en todo el mundo. Para un paquete totalmente ecológico y sin emisiones, el Hermes Speedster también está disponible con propulsión eléctrica.

Con sede en el Reino Unido, Seven Seas Yachts se fundó en 2011 y sus instalaciones de producción se encuentran en Grecia. En 2012, la compañía lanzó su primer yate, el Legend 54 al que le siguieron poco después el Legend 56 Fly y el Hermes GranTurismo. El Hermes Speedster es el lanzamiento más reciente de la empresa.

CRUISING & TRAVEL | CRUCEROS Y VIAJES

Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Park, Big Island

W

hen you think of Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean, you’re most likely to picture gigantic waves and worldrenowned surfing – and surfers. But there’s a different side to this exotic island. One that is perhaps less sought after, but just as amazing – at least for people like me who aren’t even capable of standing on a surfboard: Hawaii’s underwater world. On the west coast of the archipelago, softer coast lines, quiet waters and turquoise blue coves offer the perfect set up for memorable snorkeling and diving experiences.

You’ll find great snorkeling spots in every Hawaiian island, but if I had to pick one, I would go for Big Island where the variety of fauna and the coast lines are just mind blowing.

The rough volcanic coast of Hilo on the East side, with its sharp black lava rocks and tormented waters, is an unexpected prelude to the peaceful spectacle of Kona: crystalline and gentle white sandy beaches: the ideal place to put on your mask and observe the myriad of colorful fish in an idyllic setting.

Kona is also known for the huge manta rays that come out at night to swim along the coast, and there are many dive and snorkeling options to check out this veritable spectacle.

Attracted by plankton glowing on our torches’ lights, they

ualquiera que piense en Hawái y el Océano Pacífico probablemente se imaginará olas gigantes y surf de renombre mundial, y surfistas. Pero esta exótica isla tiene un lado quizás menos buscado pero igual de sorprendente, al menos para los menos hábiles como yo que no pueden ni siquiera pararse en una tabla de surf: su mundo submarino.

En el oeste del archipiélago, las líneas de costa más suaves, las aguas tranquilas y las calas de color azul turquesa ofrecen el escenario perfecto para experiencias inolvidables de buceo y snorkel.

Encontrará excelentes lugares para bucear en todas las islas hawaianas, pero si tuviera que elegir uno, escogería a Big Island, donde la variedad de fauna y las costas son alucinantes.

La áspera costa volcánica de Hilo en el lado este, y sus afiladas rocas de lava negra y aguas atormentadas son un preludio inesperado al espectáculo pacífico de Kona: playas cristalinas y arena blanca: un lugar ideal para ponerse la máscara y observar una miríada de peces de colores en un entorno idílico.

Kona también es conocida por las enormes mantarrayas que salen por la noche a nadar a lo largo de la costa, y hay muchas opciones de buceo y snorkel para disfrutar de este verdadero

CRUISING & TRAVEL | CRUCEROS Y VIAJES approach us by the dozens, gracefully “flying” around with their gigantic wings. Pure magic! A bit scary too. Even though they are completely harmless, they’ll knock you down just by swinging their wings as they fight their way towards big clouds of plankton. This is a unique experience, definitely recommended to any snorkeler/diver.

South of Kona is the unexpected snorkel paradise in the national park of Pu’uhonua O Hnaunau. No white sand beach there but only black rocks. It’s worth adventuring off the rough path of lava crust towards the water and hurting your feet a bit to see the spectacle of millions of little yellow fish swimming around you in 200 ft visibility water due to the absence of sand and residue. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot a few turtles as well.

espectáculo. Atraídos por el plancton que brilla en las luces de nuestras antorchas, se acercan por docenas, “volando” con sus gigantescas alas. ¡Algo mágico! Aterrador también. A pesar de que son completamente inofensivos, te pueden derribar con simplemente balancear sus alas mientras se abren camino hacia las grandes nubes de plancton. Una experiencia única, definitivamente recomendada para cualquier buceador.

Al sur de Kona se encuentra el inesperado paraíso de snorkel en el parque nacional de Pu’uhonua O Honaunau. No hay playa de arena blanca allí, sino solo rocas negras. Vale la pena aventurarse por el camino áspero de la corteza de lava hacia el agua y lastimarse un poco los pies para ver el espectáculo de millones de pequeños peces amarillos que nadan a su alrededor

www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com | 47 |

CRUISING & TRAVEL | CRUCEROS Y VIAJES Sea turtles are just everywhere in Hawaii, and it’s not unusual to swim along one of those big creatures while snorkeling. Black Rock Beach near Kaanapali Beach, in Maui, is known to be a great snorkeling spot, and, sure enough, amongst plenty of other big and colorful fish there, you’re almost certain to cross paths with giant turtles – I’ve spotted a few every time I’ve been there.

Another great spot in Maui to see bright fish, in high concentration, mingling with turtles is Kapalua Beach. The beach forms a small, calm cove that is protected from the wind and heavy currents.

My final recommendation would be the beach of Poipu in Kauai. This “double” beach offers a unique sanctuary of bright and stunning fish. So many that you think you’re swimming inside the most crowded fish tank in an aquarium. My favorite ones are the pufferfish that inflate like a ball when they feel threatened. Very shallow and right by the shore, this is also a great spot for kids.

The options for good snorkeling out there are endless. In other words, it doesn’t matter which Island you visit: you won’t be disappointed when putting your head underwater, and you will most likely want to come back!

en aguas de visibilidad de 200 pies debido a la ausencia de arena y residuos. Con suerte, también verá algunas tortugas.

Las tortugas marinas están en todas partes en Hawái y no es inusual nadar junto a una de esas grandes criaturas mientras bucea. Se sabe que Black Rock Beach, cerca de Kaanapali Beach, en Maui, es un excelente lugar para bucear, y, por supuesto, entre muchos otros peces grandes y coloridos, es casi seguro cruzarse con tortugas gigantes. He visto algunas cada vez que he estado allí.

Una, muy divertida, salió de la nada para unirse a nosotros en nuestro baño. Sin molestarle la presencia humana, se quedó a mi lado cerca de la superficie, nadando tranquilamente hasta que terminé mi sesión de fotos.

Otro gran lugar en Maui para ver peces brillantes en alta concentración mezclados con tortugas, es la playa de Kapalua, una pequeña y tranquila cala que está protegida del viento y las fuertes corrientes.

Si tuviera una recomendación más, sería la playa de Poipu en Kauai. Una playa “doble” que ofrece un santuario único de peces brillantes e impresionantes. Hay tantos peces que parece que estás nadando dentro de la pecera más concurrida de un acuario. Mis favoritos son los peces globo que se inflan como una pelota cuando se sienten amenazados. Muy poco profundo y justo en la orilla, es también un buen lugar para niños.

Podría seguir, ya que las opciones para un buen snorkel son infinitas. En otras palabras, no importa la isla que visite: ¡no se decepcionará cuando sumerja la cabeza, y lo más probable es que quiera volver!

The Basque contribution to the American Revolutionary War La contribución vasca a la guerra revolucionaria estadounidense Text by | Texto por ADOLFO MRONGOWIUS BARCIELA Images courtesy of the | Imágenes cortesía del EUSKAL ITSAS MUSEOA

hen discussing the American Revolutionary War, one will find that most people are aware of the fact that France was an invaluable ally to the Continental Army throughout the conflict. What most people are not aware of, however, is Spain’s equally large and important contribution to the war effort in both the American and European theatres. The Spanish Empire not only contributed a great number of supplies to ease tensions on the Continental Army’s supply chains, but also provided soldiers and ships which directly fought and participated in the war effort.

Within Spain, however, it could be said that the greatest benefactor and contributor to the war effort was the Basque Country. Situated in the northeast of Spain, along France’s border, the Basque Country is known for its rich naval history, along with having perpetually been one of the most industrialized regions of Spain.

Both of these factors are what made the Basques a valuable ally to

uando se habla de la guerra revolucionaria estadounidense, la mayoría de la gente es consciente del hecho de que Francia fue un aliado invaluable del Ejército Continental durante todo el conflicto.

Lo que mucha gente no sabe, sin embargo, es la contribución igualmente grande e importante de España al esfuerzo bélico tanto en los teatros estadounidenses como europeos. El Imperio español no solo contribuyó con una gran cantidad de suministros para aliviar las tensiones en las cadenas de suministro del Ejército Continental, sino que también proporcionó soldados y barcos que lucharon directamente y participaron en el esfuerzo bélico.

Dentro de España, sin embargo, se podría decir que el mayor benefactor y contribuyente al esfuerzo bélico fue el País Vasco.

Situado en el noreste de España, a lo largo de la frontera con Francia, el País Vasco es conocido por su rica historia naval, además de haber sido perpetuamente una de las regiones más industrializadas de España. Ambos factores son los que hicieron

the Continental Army, and by extension to the United States which was then known as the 13 Colonies.

The Basque Country, having been a longstanding trade partner with the American Colonies, decided to help by assisting in the production of Continental Army uniforms, armaments and weaponry, along with providing various frigates and sloops for use in naval battles. In total, the Basque House of Gardoqui provided loans to the American patriots which supplied them with 215 bronze cannons, 30,000 muskets, 30,000 bayonets, 51,314 musket balls, 300,000 pounds of powder, 12,868 grenades, 30,000 uniforms, and 4,000 field tents during the war. Several thousand Basque soldiers enlisted in the Spanish Imperial Army also fought as allies of the Continental Army in various key battles such as the Battle of Fort Bute, the Battle of Pensacola, and the Siege of Yorktown. In honor of Spain’s contribution, the city of Galveston, Texas was named after Spanish Basque General and Governor of Louisiana, Bernardo de Gálvez.

This sustained assistance from the Basque Country and Spain as a whole likely eased a great deal of pressure off the backs of Continental Army leaders and greatly facilitated the Revolutionary Army’s victory. Without the important contributions from The Basques and the Spanish Empire, the war may have played out very differently.

de los vascos un valioso aliado para el Ejército Continental y, por extensión, para los Estados Unidos que en aquel entonces se conocía como las 13 Colonias.

El País Vasco, que había sido un socio comercial de larga data con las colonias americanas, decidió ayudar asistiendo en la producción de uniformes y armamento del Ejército Continental, además de proporcionar varias fragatas y balandras para su uso en batallas navales. En total, la Casa Vasca de Gardoqui otorgó préstamos a los patriotas estadounidenses que les proporcionaron 215 cañones de bronce, 30.000 mosquetes, 30.000 bayonetas, 51.314 balas de mosquete, 300.000 libras de pólvora, 12.868 granadas, 30.000 uniformes y 4.000 tiendas de campaña durante la guerra. Varios miles de soldados vascos alistados en el Ejército Imperial español también lucharon como aliados del Ejército Continental en batallas clave como la Batalla de Fort Bute, la Batalla de Pensacola y el Asedio de Yorktown. En honor a la contribución de España, la ciudad de Galveston, Texas, recibió el nombre del general vasco español y gobernador de Luisiana, Bernardo de Gálvez.

Esta asistencia sostenida del País Vasco y de España en su conjunto probablemente alivió una gran cantidad de presión sobre las espaldas de los líderes del Ejército Continental y facilitó enormemente la victoria del Ejército Revolucionario. Sin las importantes contribuciones de los vascos y del Imperio español, la guerra podría haberse desarrollado de manera muy diferente.
