The Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show and Marine Sports Expo • April 6-9, 2017 A Four-Day Boating Extravaganza!

I am excited to welcome you to the 22nd Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show at the Marina Bay Yacht Harbor and Craneway Pavilion. The Boating Extravaganza is set on 25 waterfront acres, in the award-winning architecturally significant Craneway Pavilion at Marina Bay Yacht Harbor, in the heart of San Francisco Bay. The venue delivers an awe-inspiring panoramic view of the Bay, providing an amazing look at the San Francisco skyline and surrounding waterfront environment.

The Boating Extravaganza — formerly Strictly Sail Pacific — provides everything for the water enthusiast; and this year the event is even bigger. Whether you are new to sailing, a casual boating enthusiast or a veteran blue-water cruiser, this four-day event is the place to immerse yourself in the world of marine sports and the boating lifestyle. Enjoy the great outdoors while discovering all the new boat designs that the world’s leading manufacturers offer. All in one place, you will find the newest boats, boat types and styles for every boating interest. Better yet, the display will showcase a wide range of marine electronics, boating gear, and water lifestyle accessories for fun and safety on and around the water.

• Sailboats from 12 feet to 55 feet.

• Motor Yachts at the In-Water Display (new for 2017).

• Cruisers Seminar Series, offering over 90 free seminars on topics ranging from cruising destinations to outfitting your boat. Learn from the experts on a host of topics from cool products newly introduced to the industry and long-distance family cruising, to weather and communications.

• Advanced Boating Seminars, where you will hear from some of the most experienced presenters who will help you bring your cruising knowledge to the next level. Sign up for Mahina Expedition’s Offshore Cruising Seminar to learn the realistic and practical aspects of ocean cruising and its current costs. Or, participate in Nigel Calder’s hands-on workshops on Understanding and Troubleshooting Electrical Systems and Diesel Engines. There is also the Marine Weather, Seamanship & Navigation Strategies & Boat Outfitting Symposium: The Ultimate Cruising Symposium.

A one-day intensive program that simplifies complex issues involving weather, seamanship and navigation strategies, and highlights the importance of boat outfitting. Presented by highly experienced industry leaders Pam Wall, Chris Branning and Lee Chesneau. These are just a few of the many learning opportunities available!

• Author’s Corner, where you will find the latest nautical books and meet the sailors that have ‘been there and done that.’

• Special Events, with Stand-Up Paddleboard demonstrations and remote-controlled sailboat races.

• Exciting food choices, on-site restaurants and an assortment of Bay Area food trucks.

• Free shuttle service to ensure getting around the show is as enjoyable as it is easy.

One thing is for certain…if you’re into boating or have any interest in the on-water lifestyle, this is THE place to be April 6-9, 2017. Come with friends or bring the family!

I hope to see you there.

New Boat Showcase OCEANIS 45

DEHLER 34 – Northern CA debut

When it comes to upholding the Beneteau tradition of quality, innovation and attention to detail, the Oceanis 45 has always been at the front of the line. Built to combine safety, luxury and performance, the Oceanis 45 has cornered the market when it comes to blue-water versatility. Intelligent use of space allows a range of options below deck, including two heads with a choice of two, three, or four cabins.

The skillfully designed interior is bright and maximizes storage space. See her at the Passage Nautical display.

Recently awarded Cruising World’s 2017 Boat of the Year in the Performance Cruiser category, the Dehler 34 combines the comfort of a luxury yacht and the performance of a racing yacht with a sporty and elegant exterior and a spacious interior featuring the specially developed Dehler Uni Door Concept, with one door for three rooms. History and high-tech combined in one yacht.

HANSE 315 – Northern CA debut

JEANNEAU ODYSSEY 349

The multi-award-winning Hanse 315 features outstanding sailing properties, a well-thought-out deck layout, self-tacking jib, and a light and airy interior with 2 layout options. This boat fulfills requirements of all future owners, regardless of whether you prefer sporty sailing, relaxing holidays or spending time together on board with family and friends; all with an attractive base price of $108,000.

Come see her at the Hanse Yachts display.

From the very first glance, the Sun Odyssey 349 captivates with her pure lines, generous interior volume and inviting cockpit. Whether in the cockpit or at the helm, at anchorage or at sea, you will enjoy taking full advantage of this seaworthy, stable and easy-to-handle sailboat. See her at the Cruising Yachts display.

J/88

Catalina 425 – Northern CA debut

The 29-ft family speedster with stability, style and sailing comfort, hits the sweet spot in J/Boats’ performance sprit range. Large enough to provide the creature comforts of a sit-in cockpit, inboard diesel, overnighting interior and head – and small enough to be single-point lifted, owner trailered and stored.

The 425 incorporates all of Catalina’s hallmark features: a functional, spacious cockpit, a comfortable, carefully detailed interior, and all the 5 Series features that have redefined the Catalina brand.

The deck includes twin helms on performance pedestals with pre-stretched cables. Hull features six large fixed ports recessed into the hull for lots of light and visibility.

The order backlog is building, so come have a look and at the Sail California display and order your J/88 today.

New Boat Showcase NEW SWIFT TRAWLER 30

JEANNEAU NC11

The Swift Trawler 30 is the newest model in the range and represents Beneteau’s continuing quest to define the trawler as it should be. She packs all the luxury, performance and power you’d expect to find aboard a 40-foot boat. Her stylish, contemporary lines distinguish her from the rest. Built for traveling long distances as much as for enjoying anchorages and stopovers, the Swift Trawler 30’s open layout is a plus for any voyage.

See her at Passage Nautical.

Contemporary elegance is complemented by total transparency and seamless space. The modular internal features are restrained and comfortable: cabins, huge bathroom, salon, storage, and more. A panoramic view and a fully equipped helm station make coastal cruising easy and enjoyable. Bright natural lighting and excellent ventilation bring you closer to the elements.

PRINCESS P49 FLY

BAVARIA S40 COUPE

Cutting through the waves at speeds up to 35 knots or cruising at a highly economical 30 knots, the new Princess 49 promises to be sublimely enjoyable. She combines the latest Volvo IPS pod drive system with a new modified deep-V hull, providing ease of handling and maneuverability. Her social flybridge arrangement enjoys a twin helm seat, convertible L-shaped sofa and generous seating aft.

The S40 Coupe simply cannot be surpassed for variability. Large windows and doors transform the stern into a balcony and the cockpit into a saloon whenever you want, while the sophisticated lighting concept offers a 360-degree view at all times. With two double cabins and a large saloon with galley, the S40 Coupe is more than just a weekend motor yacht. The S40 exudes luxury and sportiness with unique spaciousness.

See her at the JK3 display.

Come see her at the Silver Seas Yachts display.

Come see her at the Cruising Yachts display.

JEANNEAU VELASCO 37F

TIARA 3100 CORONET

Although slightly more compact, reinforcing a sense of intimacy and well-being, the new Velasco 37F is just as elegant as the Velasco 43F. Inside, every detail has been designed to increase window area, for a bright living space with magnificent 360° views.

With her twin engines with shaft drive and thrusters, the Velasco 37F redefines the modern power cruiser – dedicated to family fun on the water.

See the Cruising Yachts display.

While maintaining the heritage of the original Tiara Series, the 31 Tiara presents herself with a touch of elegance and style only seen from a manufacturer with over 60 years of luxury boat-building experience. The classic lines and timeless sheer are matched with modern features and benefits complementing her American made pedigree. This popular boat has been a big hit in the Bay Area as it combines seakeeping a kin to a larger yacht and has huge cockpit space for many guests out for a day’s cruise on the water.

Offshore speedster.

More speed with less crew.

The new J/121 (pronounced 1-2-1) is a 40’ offshore speedster that can be day raced or distance sailed by just five or less crew. The best shorthanded J ever and capable of winning on any race track while also excelling in daysailing and weekend mode. Here’s a boat, class and program that redefines sailboat racing as a recreation and shared adventure with friends.

It fulfills the growing need to simplify life and reconnect with those you really want to sail with.

The 29-ft Family Speedster with Stability, Style and Sailing Comfort

Pure sailing boat.

Fast, easy to sail, and comfortable.

With a family crew, the J/97E can cruise anywhere with unparalleled ease in sumptuous accommodations. Underneath that exotic, sinfully luxurious interior is a pure thoroughbred – the unbridled, raw power of a Ferrari 12-cylinder engine rumbling to a roar to blast you around the track while you relax in Rolls Royce ultra-leather comfort and relish Jaguar-like silkiness in the S-turns – a rare combination indeed.

The J/88 hits the sweet spot in J/Boats’ performance sprit range – large enough to provide the creature comforts of a sit-in cockpit, inboard diesel, overnighting interior and head; and small enough to be single-point lifted, and owner trailered and stored.

The order backlog is building, so come have a look and order your J/88 today.

Come to the show to learn more about the newest in the J/Boat line-up.

We’ll then make arrangements for the best part of any J/Boat – the not-to-be missed test sail.

Have you ever dreamed of sailing in a beautiful tropical location? Cast off on a beautiful luxury cruising yacht and learn how easy it can be to make your dreams a reality!

Get a taste of cruising US Sailing-style aboard one of Club Nautique’s gorgeous new Beneteau 31s. On this 90-minute sail, you’ll take the helm under the guidance of one of our Coast Guard-licensed captains and get an introduction to sailing. It could change your life!

Thursday–Sunday: 10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.; 12:30–2:00 p.m.; 2:30–4:00 p.m.

Let Club Nautique show you how to begin by joining in on a 90-minute cruise on a brand new Jeanneau NC 9, a premiere boat in our newly enhanced powerboating program. Take the helm for a tutorial of basic powerboat operation while seeing some of the Bay’s famous sights, with one of our Coast Guard-licensed captains.

CATAMARAN SAILING CLINIC Are you getting ready for your next charter vacation? Are you curious why so many sailors and charter companies are choosing multihulls?

Then this is the clinic for you. During this two-hour on-the-water clinic, you will learn to maneuver a large cruising catamaran under both sail and power.

INTRO TO SAILING A BOAT OVER 40’

Are you considering a bigger boat and want to find out how it feels?

Interested in on-board training? This two-hour class is right up your alley!

The program is an introduction to sailing a larger boat, applying the skills you have, and understanding new skills you will need to develop feeling comfortable on board. This training will give sailors of all experience levels an opportunity to become more competent and confident in their abilities.

If you choose to venture beyond the sailing basics, we’ll expand your horizons by teaching you what you need to know in our ASA Sailing Courses offered by Passage Nautical at our Jack London Square office, or private lessons designed around your sailing goals.

Thursday–Sunday: 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.; 2:00–4:00 p.m.

Online registration: $125 per person; $145 on-site Limited to six people per class.

TWIN ENGINE CLINIC: CLOSE QUARTER MANEUVERING & DOCKING Is it time for you to get behind the wheel of a larger power boat? Want to try maneuvering with a joystick? This three-hour clinic will teach you how to control a twin-engine vessel in close-quarters maneuvering, instead of the other way around. It is one of the few classes that you will depart or arrive at a dock as part of your training. All our students are pleasantly surprised to find themselves at a much more improved level at the end of this fun session.

Following a short discussion about the four forces at work while motoring – prop walk, prop wash, wind, and current – we will review the basic undocking and docking techniques. This is a ‘hands-on’ clinic, so you will be doing the driving. You will practice fairway turns and backing the boat, and then we’ll move into a series of drills designed to lead you to mastery of common docking situations.

The clinic is offered by Passage Nautical.

Thursday–Sunday: 10:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.; 2:30–5:30 p.m.

Online registration: $150 per person; $165 on-site Limited to six people per class.

THE FIGURE 8 VOYAGE – THE CHALLENGE Hosted by Randall Reeves In the fall of 2017, lone sailor, Randall Reeves, will depart San Francisco for a first-ever circumnavigation of both the American and Antarctic continents in one season. The route will pass through all the world’s oceans, approach both poles, and round Cape Horn twice.

The Figure 8 expedition vessel is a 45-foot, flush-deck aluminum sloop. Built in 1989 for German adventurer Clark Stede, she was the first yacht to circumnavigate the Americas in 1993. In 2002 and skippered by Tony Gooch, she was the first yacht to circumnavigate the globe non-stop via the Southern Ocean from a starting point in North America. Randall’s Figure 8 combines these two routes into one epic voyage.

See the vessel, climb aboard, and meet Randall at the in-water display or at his seminars.

Understanding and Troubleshooting Boat Electrical Systems Nigel Calder

Location: Craneway Pavilion Seminar Center Time: 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (Arrive at 8:45)

Date: Friday, April 7 Cost: $139/person; $249/couple

The number one source of problems on boats large enough to have an electrical system, both power and sail, lies in these electrical systems. Tech guru Nigel Calder, author of the best-selling Boatowner’s Mechanical and Electrical Manual (now in its 4th edition, with over 300,000 copies sold) takes participants through the core design and installation requirements necessary to head off electrical systems problems, and then delves into step-by-step troubleshooting techniques, including using a multimeter, that will rapidly identify most problems should they arise. Not only will you leave class with a far better understanding of your NIGEL CALDER electrical systems and knowing how to fix common problems, but you will also likely save the price of admission by not having to make service calls or swap out perfectly good parts in search of solutions.

No previous experience is required.

Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance and Troubleshooting Nigel Calder

Location: Craneway Pavilion Seminar Center Time: 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (Arrive at 8:45)

Date: Sunday, April 9 Cost: $139/person, $249/couple

The diesel engine is a critically important piece of safety equipment aboard any cruising boat. Tech guru Nigel Calder, author of the best-selling Marine Diesel Engines (now in its 3rd edition, and used as a text book in numerous diesel classes), brings his unique brand of humor to a seminar for boatowners, both power and sail, that want to get the most out of their time on the water. Distinguishing between contemporary and older diesels, Calder takes a careful look at fuel, oil, cooling, airflow and powertrain systems, describing in detail all normal maintenance procedures together with basic troubleshooting techniques for common diesel engine problems – defining what the untrained boatowner can reasonably be expected to do and what should not be attempted. You will come away from this seminar with an enhanced understanding of your engine and the confidence to carry out routine maintenance, which alone will save you the price of admission.

No previous experience is required.

Randall Reeves

Randall grew up reading about and dreaming of the sea. He learned to sail on the rivers of central California and interviewed world-famous solo sailor, Bernard Moitessier, for his college radio station, an event that changed his life. Randall’s blue-water sailing began in 2006 when he crewed on a 40-foot boat for a 26-day, 3,000 mile passage from Hawaii to British Columbia where “everything went gloriously wrong.” He was hooked. In 2010, Randall departed San Francisco for a two-year, 12,000-mile solo loop of the Pacific in a 30-foot sailboat. Randall crewed the Northwest Passage in 2014, a grueling 65 days over an ice-strewn 5,000-mile course aboard one of only seven boats to complete the Arctic run that year. Randall’s preparations in 2016 have included long passages aboard his new Figure 8 boat from Kodiak, Alaska to Hawaii and back to his home in San Francisco, a total of 7,000 miles. Randall is a licensed master of vessels to 50 gross tons.

This is a performance-oriented design with a solid lead keel and a hull form with long waterline and generous – but not exaggerated beam for stability and predictable, responsive handling.

The three-cabin interior is carefully detailed with lots of drawers and solid teak fiddles and trim, complemented with maple hull panels, creating a bright, yet warm and inviting, traditionally crafted atmosphere. ar Ye he

All of the famous 5 Series features are incorporated, including all L.E.D. lighting, 28" lifelines, and excellent access to all machinery and systems.

At Catalina, it’s all about creating the best possible ownership experience. So if you’re looking for a long-term relationship with a high-quality American brand, take a closer look at Catalina; the 425 may be just the right boat for your extended cruise.
