FROM THE HELM

April Anticipation

April in the Pacific Northwest is in many ways a month of yearning. The climate teases boaters with hints of summer, like warmer temperatures and more accessible cruising grounds, but simultaneously slights us with spring rain and Norris Comer lively winds. Salmon charge up the Columbia River gauntlet to spawn and tulips fight to bloom. Yes, April is a month of yearning in the Pacific Northwest, heavy with the anticipation of what’s to come when the cruising season truly begins with Opening Day in May. We present this issue of Northwest Yachting in that restless, ready-to-go spirit of April anticipation. Inside you will find our recomissioned Washington Park Guide, an annual in-house production to be used as an informational and motivational supplement to your adventure schemes. Also included are the features San Juan Secrets and A Journey Realized. The former, presented by Amy Pemberton, draws upon the local knowledge of chartering company NW Explorations to highlight the more unknown destinations of the San Juan Islands for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience. Do you know which island is named after a Fijian cannibal chief? What about the island with the free-roaming exotic animals? Read on to learn more. The latter feature, A Journey Realized, produced by Bainbridge Island brother-in-laws Paul Hawran and Andy Ulitsky, is part two of the feature A Journey Begins (see the September 2016 issue) about the realization of the adventurers’ dream to round Cape Horn aboard their custom-built Outer Reef motoryacht Argo. These two Pacific Northwest boaters share their incredible

PUBLISHER Michelle Zeasman-Gibbon michelle@nwyachting.com

journey to one of the world’s most rugged and beautiful cruising grounds. Our fourth feature, Give it a Spin, is from the pen of maritime journalist and longtime contributor, Peter Marsh. Have you heard of the Flettner Rotor? If not, you best familiarize yourself, for the design that is almost 100 years in the works is starting to pop up in ultra-modern, eco-conscious vessels around the world. Maybe we’ll see them on commercial vessels or recreational yachts around here someday? April anticipation abounds. Our columnists have plenty to write about this month as well. Bridget Charters finally gives those “other” whitefish, like sole and cod, the culinary attention they deserve in Galley Gourmet, and Doug Hansen reports on the Center Sound Series in Racing Sheet. Peter Schrappen discusses the power of story in the context of local boating politics in On Watch, and Tony Floor shares his pro blackmouth fishing tips in Tony’s Tacklebox. We also take a trip to La Conner for our Ports of Call destination piece, in part to enjoy the blooming daffodils, and drop by the bustling Aspen Power Catamarans factory in nearby Burlington to interview head designer and founder Larry Graf about power multihull designs for Ask the Experts. Of course, we feature the coolest new boats in Arrivals, awesome gear in Goods and Gear (renamed from Chandlery), and cutting edge electronics in Hotwire. Nautical News and Business Notes round out the issue with current topics about the boating and marine business landscapes from a host of ongoing and new contributors. From our helm to yours, we wish you a restless April. Happy reading and see you on the water!

Bainbridge Island-based Paul Hawran and Andy Ulitsky are adventure cruisers, brothers-in-law, and proud Argo-nauts. Paul’s years of working in the biotech industry as CFO, CEO, and owner of a medical lab made the fulfillment of his lifelong dreams possible. Paul has built and enjoyed four yachts, and, now that he is retired, has the opportunity to live his dream and have even more fun. Andy has traveled extensively by motorcycle, explored ocean depths by scuba, kayaked, photographed, and, most importantly, enjoyed his family. During his career in epidemiology and health administration, Andy never wanted to be defined by what he did for a living, only by what he did to live.

Peter Marsh grew up in Greenwich, UK, started dinghy sailing in 1963, and witnessed the start of the Singlehanded TransAtlantic Race in 1964. He was involved in early trimaran development, then joined Major H.W. Tilman for a voyage to the Arctic in 1971. He came to the United States in 1972 and has only built one more multihull, a small open trimaran that he cruised to Alaska twice in the 1980s, plus a 1986 voyage on the Great Lakes. He described those voyages in his first stories for Northwest Yachting magazine. He has lived in Astoria since 2002. Read many of his stories at www.sea-to-summit.net

Anacortes: Boat Show Fever

Cap Sante Marina, one of the five area marinas that will play host to the 2017 show.

Spring means all eyes are on Anacortes' annual in-water event By Norris Comer

All systems are go for the 20th annual Anacortes Boat Show slated for Thursday April 6 through Sunday April 9 at the Cap Sante Marina (1019 Q Avenue). The event, sponsored by The Anacortes Yachts Brokers, Anacortes Marine Trade Association, the Port of Anacortes, and SaviBank, will display over 100 power and sail boats from 15 brokerages ranging from trailerable sport and fishing boats to world cruising yachts. What’s more, tents near the marina will house over 30 marine vendor displays for visitors looking for the latest goods and

gadgets. Educational seminars will also complement the boat show that has come a long way since its inception 20 years ago with five brokerages and a relative handful of vessels on display. The best part? It’s all free, parking included. The event is also a great opportunity to explore Anacortes, which has emerged as one of the Pacific Northwest’s great boating hubs. Although a small town population-wise, an estimated 2,500 boats are moored in five different marinas in Anacortes. There are also five year-round boatyards complete with

Cruising for a Cause

haul-out facilities capable of lifting 400,000-pound vessels. No fewer than 40 marine businesses call Anacortes home, which makes for quite a support network for journeying cruisers. Of course, Anacortes is the gateway to the San Juan Islands, a geographic boon. If you have an open calendar, consider the Anacortes Boat Show for a boat themed day out. You can see the complete lineup of brokers, vendors, and seminars at anacortesboatshow.com.

The Leukemia Cup Regatta is an iconic charity regatta that’s kicking off its yearly campaign at the Elliott Bay Marina in Seattle with a cocktail reception on April 6. Good times are the goal of the event, and revelers will be able to meet current and past participants to get an early start for their own fundraising efforts for the actual regatta, scheduled on Saturday, June 10. For the uninitiated, Leukemia Cup Regatta participants raise money to fund research to fight the deadly diseases in support

Fishing

Preparing your boat for fishing fun By Kevin Klein

A boat that is properly set up for fishing can make the difference between a frustrating experience and a fish catching experience. I offer five fishy tips and tricks to get your vessel ready to put more seafood on the table this season: 1. Solid Vessel. A reliable, well maintained, seaworthy boat is a must for getting you out, getting you fish, and getting you back safely. Don’t neglect scheduled maintenance, inspections, and fluid and filter changes. The number one problem for gasoline powered boats these days is fuel problems from ethanol fuel. Try to run non-ethanol gasoline, but if you can’t, make sure and use a

MARINE S T PRODUC ES C & SERVI

good additive and change those filters! Inspect and clean up wiring and test all systems before you go. Inspect all thru-hull fittings and hatches that could take on water. Ask yourself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” and plan accordingly. If your boat is too small, or not designed for the area or conditions, rethink the plan. 2. Electronic Tech. Modern electronics are the fish catching secret of the top anglers. If I had to make one suggestion that will put more fish on the boat for more anglers, it would be invest in a good plotter/ sounder and learn how to use it. Whether it’s finding contours and marking bait and fish while salmon

trolling, or looking for that Halibut honey hole, electronics are your extra-sensory perception while on the water. A modern chartplotter will let you dial in specific spots. An advanced sonar unit will let you know if fish and bait are in the area and at what depth. Integrate in good radar and you’re in the game. Of course, the safety factor of understanding how to use all your resources is invaluable. Spend time pushing buttons and studying manuals. Learn it and live it! 3. Operator Skills and Foresight. Being able to control your boat will make fishing more productive and relaxing. Getting the hang of operating your boat while

IN-WATER DISPLAY OF CRUISING POWERBOATS

trolling, drifting, or anchoring is mostly a function of practice and time on the water. It takes awhile to get a feel for how your vessel responds to wind and current. However, you can start out miles ahead by having the correct systems on the boat. A good steering system for the kicker, whether tied to the mains or through a remote, is a must. Make sure you are able to see forward while trolling. If anchoring, make sure you have plenty of chain and rode, and the correct hook for conditions. As always, safety first, fish second. Check the tide predictions and weather forecast before you leave. Too rough to control the boat or make it back safely? Don’t go. 4. Proper Gear. The right gear deployed equals a day more enjoyed. From rods and reels, line, nets, downriggers, and pot pullers to the very point of the hook, the tools of the trade will make or break a day of fishing.

Fair Seas, Olympus By Seanna Browder

A gathering of well-wishers, boat lovers, and former passengers waved goodbye to the M/V Olympus as it motored out of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks and into the heavy Puget Sound mist, heading back to her New York birthplace after 75 years in the Paciﬁc Northwest. Stories of the graceful 97-foot yacht will keep her memory alive long after she bid farewell to the Salish Sea. With long lines and a polished wooden hull, M/V Olympus was a star whether she was shining at a classic boat show, leading the Seattle boat season’s Opening Day parade, or cruising local waters from Lake Washington to Desolation Sound. The yacht and her owners, Diane Lander

and her late husband John VanDerbeek, were fixtures in the local boating scene, frequently offering the boat for charitable and environmental causes. Upon VanDerbeek’s sudden death in 2009, Lander started contemplating the sale of Olympus. It sold earlier this year for an undisclosed price to an East Coast businessman and sailed away from the Locks Feb. 26. Owning the historic craft “was a great adventure,” Lander said. With the return to New York, Olympus has come full circle. The stunning vessel was commissioned in 1929 by George Heck, a Wall Street ﬁnancier, and was the largest yacht the New York, Launch and Engine Co.

what others are using to be successful. Then plan on spending some time and money on functional gear that works in every specific application, or can be used pursuing multiple species of fish. Usually, the old standard setups of lures and terminal tackle will still put fish in the box, day in and day out. Everything should be well maintained. You don’t need to get fancy, just get good! 5. Organization. A clean, organized boat takes a little time, but it’s worth it. Making sure that everything you need to catch and clean fish is organized and accessible is a big part of success. Some of this will come with time on the water. You will find places on the boat to put tools and gear within easy reach. Organized and easy to find tackle storage will also save time and even money. After the day is done, a clean up of the boat and gear will ensure you’re ready for the next trip. I’ve often said, if Lemon Joy had a Pro Staff, I’d be the charter member. I use the stuff liberally on the boat, gear, and terminal tackle. Keep a spray bottle handy with a soap and fresh water solution for quick clean up on the water, and then do a more extensive scrubbing back at the dock. Now is the time to transform the M/V Empty Net into the F/V Filled To The Gills and get ready to enjoy some time on the water with a tasty bounty bonus!

Community: Fair Winds, Olympus shipyard ever built. Originally christened Junaluska, the boat traversed East Coast waters until 1938 when it was sold to George Converse, Newport Beach Yacht Club Commodore. World War II brought an abrupt end to the ship’s leisure days and it was conscripted to patrol the waters between Prince Rupert, B.C. and Ketchikan, Alaska. After the war, Washington Governor Monrad Wallgren purchased the yacht with public funds, changed the name to Olympus, and used it for

his personal pleasure. The misuse of public funds sunk Wallgren’s career as governor and put the boat back in private hands. Since then, it has passed through many notable Paciﬁc Northwest owners before the VanDerbeeks bought it in 1994. Upon purchase, the couple set upon the task of completely restoring the yacht to its original glory with the help of Port Townsend’s Haven Boatworks. They also built a significant Continued on Page 20

Eagle Harbor Reborn

Eagle Harbor of Bainbridge Island, Washington has completed a major rebuild and is now running at full speed. Not only is the marina a certified Green Marina as per modern standards, but the marina is also reputed to be the only large vessel marina with 100-amp service on the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas. The facility has 110 slips and offers moorage of vessels up to 150 feet in length. The marina was rebuilt from the original 1970s structures that were in need of an upgrade. “One of our objectives was to create a first-class facility with modern technology,” Bob Wise, Eagle Harbor Marina’s general partner and manager said in a press release. Among the hightech examples are electronically keyed entry gates, high definition security cameras, and fiber optic Wi-Fi network. A real-time ground fault monitoring system that allows the marina to pinpoint stay electric current is also touted by Wise. What’s more, the marina provides in-slip pump out service, a luxury appreciated by just about anybody. “There is a scarcity of marina facilities in the region,” Wise said. “Many boat owners must find moorage in distant locations limiting the opportunity to enjoy one of the premier recreational activities available in the Puget Sound area. We were determined to preserve the opportunity for moorage in Eagle Harbor and at the same time create one of the finest marina facilities in the region.” The new Eagle Harbor Marina is reportedly filling up fast. For more information, visit Eagle Harbor Marina’s website at eagleharbormarina.com.

Cocktail of the Month

Limoncello Citrus Sangria For this month’s cocktail, we decided to plan with Easter brunch in mind. Few things are made to go with sweet or savory crepes or a pile of waffles quite like white wine sangria in the morning! We offer this Limoncello Citrus Sangria recipe in the daffodil-blossom spirit of those special Pacific Northwest spring mornings. The Vitamin C from the fruit should keep the scurvy away for long distance cruisers, and the minimal prep should be easy for the galley to handle.

• 1 Orange • 1 Pink Grapefruit • 2 Lemons • 750 mL bottle of chilled white wine (Sauvignon Blanc is recommended) • 1 1/2 cups Limoncello (one can home make limoncello, but it can be complicated) • 3 cups sparkling water or bubbly Directions: Slice the orange, grapefruit, and lemons into quarter-inch slices. Combine the white wine, sliced fruits, and Limoncello in a pitcher. Refrigerate or put on ice for at least a few hours. Ideally, the sangria is left to soak overnight. Feel free to garnish with the sliced fruit from the pitcher. We’re thirsty for more recipes, so send yours to editorial@nwyachting.com for a chance to appear in the next issue.

Dall's porpoise

Environment

Porpoises of Puget Sound By Brianna King

I imagine that the predominate species of Puget Sound whale or dolphin that comes to mind would be the charismatic orca. But there’s another group of marine mammals that people are perhaps a little less familiar with: porpoises. There are six species of true porpoises, and two of them can be seen in Puget Sound — the striking Dall’s porpoise and the less conspicuous harbor porpoise. The other species include the Burmeister’s porpoise (South America), the spectacled porpoise (Southern Ocean), the finless porpoise (Southeast Asia), and the highly endangered vaquita (Gulf of California — as of November 2016, it’s estimated there are only 30 individuals left in the wild). One may be inclined to say that whales are large and dolphins/porpoises are small, but this is not always true. Orcas are technically a dolphin, while a pygmy sperm whale (a member of the sperm whale family) only gets to 11 feet in length — about the same size as a bottlenose dolphin. Size, therefore, cannot be used to determine whether a cetacean is a whale, dolphin, or porpoise. One major difference between the three is their teeth, or in the case of baleen whales, their baleen. The two broadest categories of cetaceans are the two suborders Odontoceti (cetaceans that have teeth) or Mysteceti (cetaceans that have baleen). Baleen whales generally can also be identified by their two blowholes, as compared to the one blowhole of toothed whales. Toothed whales are divided into several more groups — the sperm whale family, dolphins, narwhals and belugas, and porpoises, as well as many others. While porpoises and dolphins are pretty similar, there are a couple of main differences. Dolphins have conical shaped teeth, while porpoises have spade shaped teeth. True porpoises also lack the

26 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2017

"beak" that a dolphin has, and have a more triangular, shark-like dorsal fin compared to the curved dorsal fin of a dolphin. The harbor porpoise has all of these characteristics — spade shaped teeth, rounded head, and a triangular dorsal fin. They are generally a uniform grey color and are on the very small side —from four and a half to six feet, and only get to about 120 pounds. To me, they look like a mini-version of a bottlenose dolphin without the beak, as if a bottlenose somehow lost its nose. Harbor porpoises are not gregarious like other species of dolphins and can be elusive. They are found in temperate waters in the northern hemisphere strictly along coastlines (hence the name “harbor” porpoise), and while dives over 600 feet deep have been recorded, they frequently stay near the surface and make frequent, shallow dives. Dall’s porpoises are not much larger than a harbor porpoise — they grow up to seven feet long — but have a much more striking pattern of black and white, and also have a distinctive, stocky body shape. They are incredibly fast and can reach speeds of about 55 knots, making them the fastest porpoise. Dall’s porpoises are consistently seen travelling at high speeds out on the water, and their very triangular dorsal fin make a unique rooster tail pattern in the water when they are cruising. They are frequently observed more by sailors than the harbor porpoise. Dall’s porpoises can only be found in the North Pacific, though they do venture out past the coasts to the high seas. Another fascinating difference between porpoises and dolphins that is in their ability to produce sounds. Dolphins are incredibly talkative and communicate with each other regularly through whistles and clicks. Porpoises are physi-

ologically different in this regard, and so may be unable to produce the same range of noise that dolphins do. This difference may also provide an explanation for why they are so quiet in comparison. You may be surprised to know that even with all of these qualifications for telling a porpoise from a whale from a dolphin, sometimes the delineation between species is rather fluid. In general, different species don’t (or can’t) reproduce with one another, but sometimes there is evidence that two different species are interbreeding. These cases are known as hybridization, and have been observed in captivity amongst cetaceans, such as at the Sea Life Park in Hawaii with their "wholphin" Keikaimalu (her father was a false killer whale and her mother was a bottlenose dolphin). A significant case of hybridization in the wild was of a fetus recovered from a dead Dall’s porpoise that shared traits and genetics with harbor porpoises. Uniquely patterned porpoises have been observed in the North Pacific, and it’s a possibility that these observations were of these harbor porpoise/Dall’s porpoise hybrids. Next time you are out on the water, as well as looking for orcas, spare a glance for these porpoises. Whether you see a harbor porpoise, a Dall’s porpoise, or possibly even a hybrid, consider yourself very lucky to be on Pacific Northwest waters! harbor porpoise

When should a boater go to school? Right out of the gate, anyone who knows me might suspect my immediate response would be, “For life, of course!” However, the real challenge before boaters is sorting out different offerings, such as which school and when. What training where, with whom? Classroom-based, or on the water? How often and in what order? There are a lot of flavors of training, some of which are well suited for novices, and several of which might prove underwhelming for seasoned boaters, and yet others that represent a great fit. You’ll need to decide where you are in that training continuum. Some training is presented by well-qualified, well-intentioned, well-certified entities; you’ll need to do some homework to make the best fit choice for you. So … where does a new boat owner start? Typically, all it takes to buy a boat is a wad of cash and a signature. However, would boat ownership alone automatically define someone as a boater? Of course not. I’d suggest what matters most at this point would be embracing a fresh commitment to learn everything possible about your new adventure. It’s also an imperative that you check your ego at the door prior to the start of any training session. After all, how on earth can you possibly learn anything if you are convinced that you already know everything? What are some of the most compelling reasons new boaters should seek training? First of all, state law dictates that any person over 14 years of age secure a state safe boater card – easy for anyone to do online – and meets the state’s needs to cover their (the State’s) assets should something go awry on the water. Secondly, there’s insurance. For starters, some insurance companies won’t let you even move your boat yourself until you’ve been officially blessed by someone authorized by them to give you a “thumbs up” check

Here’s an old saying to consider: good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment. Temper that bad judgment with quality training, and over time, your experience will mature more rapidly. Keep stowing experience after experience into your sea bag of tips, tricks, and techniques, and soon enough, perhaps without your conscious awareness, you’ll achieve good judgment! With consistent, long term effort, you have a reasonable shot at becoming a skilled, engaged, perceptive, safe, and fun boater. If lacking that commitment, however, you should probably ﬁnd a diﬀerent activity. After all, as I often say in my classroom,

“This isn’t pottery class.” You literally hold people’s lives at stake every time you operate in a cavalier, unprofessional manner on the water. The Sea takes us to school every day we’re underway, whether or not we choose so. You simply need to give it your attention and decide; are you the skipper, or is The Sea? As you commit and begin to sketch out your training calendar, consider these points. Constant training does little good unless it’s interspersed with time spent on the water, actually boating to reinforce what you’ve learned. Also, even know-it-alls can use an occasional dose of the fundamentals. Just ask Vince Lombardi (oh, if only you could).

S E T O N S S BUSINE Bellingham Developments

Port Commission Authorizes Small City Development Expenditures

Blaine Waterfront

By Norris Comer

The Port Commission of Bellingham has authorized $65,000 in cost sharing funds to support development projects in Blaine, Lynden, Ferndale, and Everson, Washington as part of the Port’s small-cities economic development program. This program is meant to support and leverage projects across the six small cities of Whatcom County to stimulate private investment and jobs. “An important part of the Port’s mission is to promote economic development throughout the region” said Port Commission President Dan Robbins in a press release. “This program is a terriﬁc resource for the smaller cities of Whatcom County to address local economic development needs.”

“We really appreciate the Port of Bellingham’s willingness to partner with our City on important community development projects” said Everson Mayor John Perry in the same release. “The Port’s Small City Development Fund has been vital in our light industrial and commercial development.” The Port has provided over $650,000 to small cities to advance projects ranging from downtown enhancements, street and utility extensions, and retail market analysis since the program’s inception in 2004. The small cities have provided over $1 million in matching funds and the program has leveraged over $45 million in local capital. The following projects have received funding for 2017:

Blaine: $15,000 in Port matching funds with a $15,000 City cash match to design an access to downtown properties on the west side of Peace Portal Drive along an existing easement. Once constructed by the City and/or private developers, the alley access will facilitate development of vacant and underutilized buildings. Everson: $20,000 in Port matching funds with a $20,000 City cash match to provide engineering support for the Lincoln Street improvement projects. The City has secured state and federal grant funds for the construction project, but has a gap in construction engineering funds. The Phase 1 project beneﬁts existing local employers on the west side of the City and will

connect to developable property via a Phase 2 project. Ferndale: $15,000 in Port matching funds with a $15,000 City cash match to fabricate new visitor and business signs based on design work underway by the City.

Budget Blowback Federal Sea Grant Elimination Proposed by White House Budget

ELEGANT

2017 - L90 LX - 28’ Center Console

TES BUSINESS NO

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is among the many targets of funding cuts from the recently proposed federal budget out of the White House. According to the Washington Post, the premier climate science agency may see cuts on the order of 17% if the proposed budget is passed, as well as the elimination of the $73-million Sea Grant program. Sea Grant supports coastal research and maritime education conducted through 33 universities across the country, and Washington Sea Grant of the University of Washington is an active member. We have reported on their successes often in this very publication, from pump out infrastructure improvements, successful public maritime workshops offered, oil and gas spill mitigation efforts, environmental causes, and more. The Washington Sea Grant of the College of the Environment of the University of Washington has released its official statement on the new budget on March 6, 2017, and it is as follows: Sea Grant has enjoyed the bipartisan support of the Congress and White House for most of its 50-year history – because it is a program that works. With 33 programs located in every coastal and Great Lakes state, today Sea Grant returns at least $8 in economic benefits for every federal dollar appropriated. It brings businesses, academia, governments, tribes, and citizens together to address today’s tough marine issues and ensure the vitality and health of coastal communities and resources for tomorrow.” Here in Washington State, Sea Grant reaches more than 100,000 residents annually with innovative research and effective education

and technical advice. Based at the University of Washington’s College of the Environment, Washington Sea Grant supports local businesses and communities providing nearly $9 million in economic benefits. The program supplies unbiased scientific information for living and working sustainably along Washington shores and to enhance and protect marine resources in the Pacific Northwest. Sea Grant continues to thrive with strong industry and community support. For example, Margaret Pilaro Barrette, Executive Director, Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association states, “Shellfish (mussels, clams, oysters and geoduck) are highly sought after regionally, domestically and internationally. Sea Grant programs provide vital research, technical assistance, and outreach that allow this industry to grow, while providing family-wage jobs in some of our most economically distressed communities. Our challenge today is to educate the new leaders in Washington, D.C. to ensure that they recognize Sea Grant’s contributions and unmatched value to coastal businesses and residents.

King Copper Courts Controversy

Editor Love

Dear Northwest Yachting, Interesting article on copper bottom paint in your March issue (King Copper is Dead). There are two obvious questions that weren’t adequately addressed, and it would be fascinating to see a follow-up article to bring some light to them. The ﬁrst question is, “How much of the copper in Puget Sound comes from bottom paint on recreational boats under 65 feet?” (This is the group that is targeted by the copper paint ban.) I asked a couple of folks at Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, and both thought it was a good question, but didn’t have an answer. However, they quickly pivoted to, “But we know that they are some part of the problem and we need to work on the parts that we can.” There may be some merit to that, and I’m sure they are nice folks, but I can’t escape the nagging sensation that we are actually a very small part of the problem, but that we were easy pickings when the legislature needed to blame someone. It would be fascinating to know what percent of the problem will be solved on January 1, 2020 when copper is banned for boats under 65 feet. My guess is, “Not much.” It would be interesting to know. The second question is, “Do non-copper paints actually work?” In particular, are there hard non-copper paints for a race

Dear Michelle, Firstly, I want to say that I was very much impressed by the tone and style of young Norris Comer's letter in the March issue -- you made a wise hiring decision! Secondly, may I suggest an idea for future articles: Most readers (if they own a boat) are spending money and giving their time to make improvements or repairs to their boats. How about a personal story each month by someone who is tackling a boat project? Upgrading ground tackle, researching and deciding on new electronics, or, in my case, deciding to install an expensive and labor intensive hydronic heating system (Kabola). Such a series could attract new advertisers to the magazine and appeal to boat owners like myself who would recognize themselves in the experience of your contributors. Thanks and good work! -Richard Soto M/V KIKA, Selene 47

bottom, and do they work? I had a good conversation with the boating outreach guy at Soundkeeper, and he said that there were studies being done on which paints are the least damaging to the environment, but no studies being done on the effectiveness of any of the paints. He went on to say that he has heard some favorable anecdotal reports recently, but has seen no actual data, which he said is of great frustration to him. He is trying to get someone interested in doing some test boats as well as painted panels, but hasn’t been able to get any traction on either of those test types. It would be great if the folks that were gung ho for Washington to be the first (and only) state to ban copper paint would be equally gung ho to test to see if any of it actually works. -Al Johnson You raise key questions and thoughtful points, Al. Many of your inquiries underscore the undeniable truth of this copper bottom ban; we as a community are on a course for unknown waters. As journalists and Pacific Northwest boaters, we are also hungry for data-backed information to make the best decisions with regards to products, boat maintenance, and the environment. Stay tuned for our findings. —Ed.

Thank you for the kind words and suggestions, Richard! To your first point, thanks, we’re going to keep him around. To your second, that is a great idea and we’ve successfully played with that concept in the past. Let’s discuss further and see what evolves. —Ed.

Riviera 77 The all-new 2017 Riviera 77 is a recent addition to the brand’s fleet and is, at the time of this writing, the largest Riviera in existence. There’s something undeniably sport fishing oriented about the large cockpit (that almost qualifies as a working deck), generous foredeck with seating, and pair of outriggers. Yes, the 77 definitely hails from the commercial/ sport fishing lineage of Riviera, but with a length overall of over 80 feet, there’s plenty of luxury living aboard. The large volume of the 77 allows for a standard four-cabin and four-bathroom layout. Of course, the master stateroom

features the royal treatment with a kingsized berth. The galley of the 77 also has just about everything: microwave, combination oven and grill, espresso machine, dishwasher, drawer-style fridges and freezers, four-burner electric cook top, etc. One of the compelling features of the 77 is also the enclosed “Flybridge Penthouse” that is loaded with a helm and nav station, sun roof, wet bar, and generous lounge space. As one moves to the exterior, it’s clear that the large cockpit was designed with the fishing junkies in mind. A rod storage locker, ice-box, eutectic freezer, sink,

extended fish locker, live bait wells, and more are at the owner’s service. The 77 is powered by a pair of 1,900-horsepower MAN 2862 LE476 turbo diesel engines, and the manufacturer claims a large (but unspecified) range thanks to the 2,496 gallons of fuel-tank space. Interested? You can contact the local Riviera dealer, Emerald Pacific Yachts, for pricing and additional information. The Riviera 77 is not currently at their docks, but more information is available at emeraldpacificyachts.com.

Tiara F 53 The luxury Tiara yacht line is showing no signs of slowing, and the Tiara F 53 that debuted at the Miami International Boat Show will be arriving to Pacific Northwest waters within the next few months. First impressions start with the exterior, and the spacious, hard-top covered flybridge features a helm with nav station, island wet bar, dining table, and wrap-around seating to help keep the skipper company during those nice days on the water. A series of steps lead the guests from the flybridge to the covered cockpit, which has seating and a table positioned near easy access

to the large, foldable swim step and stowage area at the stern. The open deck space on the foredeck will be a favorite of summertime loungers. Of course, like many luxury yachts, the interior is where ﬁrst impressions become lasting ones. The cabin is nearly completely encased with glass, like the double sliding doors to the salon and galley, and result in a well-lit interior. Unlike many ﬂybridge models, the F 53 doesn’t have another helm station in the cabin, so the space is pure entertaining and living space. A set of stairs lead downward into the sleeping quarters,

which vary depending with the layout options a buyer can choose from. The standard ﬂoor plan has two luxury staterooms, complete with en suite heads, queen beds, and comfortable living space for two adults in each. The third state-

room option adds an additional two guests who enjoy similar spacious living. Of course, all the fun is for naught without power. There are a few options for the buyer, including the Volvo IPSII 950 inboard diesel engine that dishes out 725 horsepower and features joystick controls. What’s more, the F 53 is backed by Tiara Yachts’ limited warranties; ﬁve years on the hull and deck and two years on the accessories (limitations apply). If interested, you should reach out to local dealer Alexander Marine U.S.A. for more information and pricing. More information is also available at alexandermarineusa.com.

Nimbus 405 Coupé The Nimbus 405 Coupé, the flagship of the Nimbus Coupé line, has arrived, and is a mid-sized motoryacht with plenty to offer. As one approaches the 405, a few exterior features naturally draw the eye. For one, the generous swim step aft looks fit to deploy a large dinghy or a small fleet of kayaks. As one moves forward, the spacious foredeck has a padded lounge area connected to the rest of the vessel via starboard walkway. The covered cockpit has enough wrap-around seating for a proper get-together, complete with dining table. When one passes the glass double sliding doors, he or she enters the generously lit, spacious salon. The glass sunroof adds to the light-filled, modern feel. Dinette seating is oriented port across the starboard galley,

which has all the comforts of land. The sporty helm and sleeping accommodations lay forward. Three double berths spread across three cabins and two heads are oﬀered. The 405 runs on two D4-300 Volvo Penta inboard diesel engines that deliver 300 horsepower. The manufacturer touts a cruising speed of 21 knots with a maximum

speed of 28 knots. Electronics-wise, the 405 is decked out with Simrad GPS, chartplotter, autopilot, VHF, depth sounder, and more as standard. If the Nimbus 405 Coupé has got your attention, you can reach out to local broker Seattle Yachts for more information and pricing at seattleyachts.com.

The arrival of a California Coast Yachts branch to Seattle brings with it the Italian luxury yacht conglomerate, the Ferretti Group Yachts. Among the brands associated with the Ferretti Group is Riva, and the new Riva Iseo currently in stock on Lake Union is a great example of what the company offers. The Iseo is in essence a Euro-luxury ski boat with many details that invoke a sports car. The sport-car design of the helm was an obvious attention grabber when we stepped aboard, complete with upholstered helm and big, brassy analogue displays on the dash. The mahogany deck looked phenomenal and is deﬁnitely a level above the typical day boat. A generous swim step, complete with foldable ladder, and a stern sunning area with retractable stowage space are also prominent features. An electrically deployed bimini top will be appreciated for unexpected rain, and is not even noticeable when stowed.

Lagoon 42 For those of us prone to looking ahead, the 2018 Lagoon 42 is slated to arrive to the Paciﬁc Northwest this fall, and sail powered catamaran enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to. Many interesting ideas are teased by Lagoon, such as the deck layout. The sail plan features a large self-tacking jib, square main top, and Code 0. The mast is moved further aft than previous models. The helm is oriented up to port, while the rest of the large covered cockpit is devoted to seating and entertaining space. Dual swim steps are built into the sterns of both hulls for the sake of water-based fun. Of course, one of the true beneﬁts of catamarans is revealed when one looks at the large interior. The huge salon has a dining

table near the galley where the non-al fresco meals will most likely be had. A nav station is positioned near the dining table as well. Two cabins with two en suite heads are housed within the port hull, while the master stateroom with its own head is in

the starboard hull. The Lagoon 42 has twin folding propeller inboard Yanmar diesel engines that dish out 57 horsepower each. Contact Marine Servicenter for more information, the Lagoon 42 is listed at $578,484. More info is at marinesc.com.

Foldable and Boatable GoCycle G3 Electric Bike || $4,499.00 Some may be wondering what a bicycle is doing in a boating magazine, but we promise there are good reasons. Not only does local company Seattle E-Bike oﬀer an extensive line of electric bikes, but owner and boater Brian Nordwall has designed his top-of-the-line foldable bikes with the cruising lifestyle in mind. Nordwall holds a U.S. Coast Guard 100-Ton Master License, and is very proud of his bespoke sail assisted adventure motor cruiser, Peregrine, built in Port Townsend. As a cruiser, he always seeks to maximize his range of exploration at every port of call, and his aﬃnity for bicycles got him thinking. You may have guessed where we’re going with this if you saw the Seattle E-Bike booth at the recent Seattle Boat Show, where the foldable and boat friendly GoCycle G3 model was featured.

46 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2017

The GoCycle G3 is designed to fit through a 30-inch square hatch, and is light enough to easily carry at 35.9 pounds. This is a powerful, portable package, complete with 22-volt battery and a top speed of 25 miles per hour. Many boating destinations have amazing experiences a mere four or ﬁve miles away, an awkward distance to walk, but a cinch for a GoCycle G3. Seattle E-Bike also services every transportation device that they sell, as well as providing service for regular, non-electric bikes. If you are looking for a folding bike and are not sure what kind of e-bike you’re looking for, the Seattle E-Bike company oﬀers the opportunity to test ride during their weekly Saturday morning rides, departing at 0800 hours from the Seattle E-Bike store. The ride goes down to Pike Place Market where cyclists can have a nice breakfast and explore before heading back. The route changes slightly every time, so frequent participants shouldn’t get bored. What’s more, the company’s full line of electric transportation devices includes bicycles, stand-up scooters, skateboards, motorcycles, tricycles, and cargo bikes. With more than 20 styles to choose

from, there’s probably a Seattle E-Bike for just about anyone. They have sleek, racing-style models to the classy cruiser variety. There’s even a line of e-bikes for kids. If you already own a non-electric bike that you’re particularly fond of, you can

Many boating destinations have amazing experiences a mere four or five miles away, an awkward distance to walk, but a cinch for a GoCycle G3. also bring your bike in to Seattle E-Bike and have a mid-drive motor installed, thereby transforming your bicycle into an e-bike. The cost of installation ranges from $1,645 to $2,145 (tax not included) depending on the wattage you want for the motor. The standard variety can be mounted on most existing bicycles, and feaBrian Nordwall's Peregrine. tures a 350 wattrated motor that reportedly provides up to 650 watts of peak power. P r i c e s va r y , t h e f o l d a b l e , b o a t friendly GoCycle G3 is $4,499.99. If interested in the GoCycle G3 foldable bike or other Seattle E-Bike products, you can check out their store at 570 1st Ave S in Seattle, WA, or visit the website at electricbikeseattle.com for more information and specs.

Simplicity is Key

David Instruments Snap-tool Multi-Key || $11.70 As time moves forward and boating gets more high-tech and complicated, it’s often refreshing to see product innovators going back to the basics. We introduce the Snap Tool Multi-Key from David Instruments, the grand prize and maintenance category winner of the 2016 third annual InNewvation Award Show from Fisheries Supply Co. This “deck plate key with attitude” is essentially a specially molded stainless steel plate that has more applications than your granddad’s Swiss Army knife. The Snap Tool Multi-Key can tighten or loosen a deck plate, snap or unsnap canvas snaps, pull rusty zippers, cut fishing line, turn hex bolts and flathead or Phillips screws, scrape paint, remove pin shackles, and open a beer. This compact piece of steel fits in one hand, can be attached onto one’s

keychain, and has no vulnerable moving parts to boot. There’s no boasting of being “ergonomic” in the product lit-

erature, it just is. True genius is usually remarkably simple, and the award-winning Davis Instruments Snap Tool Multi-Key is a great example. The cherry on top is that it is light on the pocketbook, unlike most boating products on the shelves. At the time of this writing, you can get yours for $11.70 from Fisheries Supply Co.’s website, ﬁsheriessupply.com.

BBQ Dreams Kenyon City Grill || $475.00 Whether you’re at home in the city or out on the water, a home-cooked meal on the grill is a great addition to the summer days that are soon on the way to the Pacific Northwest. While open-flame grilling is prohibited by city fire codes, the new City Grill from Kenyon aims to provide all the taste of a flame-grilled meal without the potential for a house fire. It is virtually smokeless, and its design makes flare-ups very unlikely, so it’s safe to use indoors in your galley or on a deck outside. The grill has 155 square inches of cooking space and a single burner, and it is approved for home use. With eight different heat settings, and a push-to-turn knob for precise control, the grill promises to create a delicious meal that will make you forget it wasn’t cooked outside on an open flame. There are also carrying handles for easy transportation; the removable lid is dishwasher safe, and the disposable drip tray (while a little wasteful) makes clean-up a breeze. Each City Grill comes with a sample size of Cerama Bryte stainless steel cleaner and polish for upkeep, and three additional disposable drip trays. It is currently only available on cookwithkenyon.com, priced at $475.

Black Widow Pettit Paint || $72.00

Clean Water on the Go LifeStraw || $72.00

Boaters are on the go, and clean water sources are not always available at the rugged cruising grounds we love in the Pacific Northwest. Rest at ease, you can still enjoy your boating adventure without the worry of being sick with e. coli from contaminated water. Enter LifeStraw, a simple, compact device that purportedly removes 99.99% of waterborne bacteria and protozoan parasites, including giardia, e. coli, and salmonella. It uses 0.2-micron hollow fiber membrane technology, requires no batterAT ELLIOTT BAY MARINA

ies or chemicals, has no moving parts, and it’s rated to filter up to 1,000 liters of water. It works like a drinking straw by drawing water through with your mouth. Maintenance is as simple as blowing back through the device after use to remove moisture and flush the membranes. Its effectiveness has been proven in widespread use by many organizations around the world in emergencies and natural disasters. Compact and only two ounces, it’s ideal for any length of trip. Check it out, available for $19.95 at www.lifestraw.com.

Black Widow isn’t just the name of the woman currently kicking butt in the Marvel cinematic universe or a terrifying spider that likes to hide in woodpiles—it’s also the name of a new, ultra-smooth, burnished racing finish from Pettit Marine Paint. Just in for 2017, Black Widow finish contains four slickening agents (Molybdenum Disulfide, PTFE, graphite, and silicon) which the manufacturer claims creates a slick, fast, easy to clean racing paint that provides excellent protection for your vessel in all seasons and waters. Black Widow racing finish is supposedly easy to use, and can be applied with a roller, brush, or spray. It can be polished to a “metallic gun-metal” shine according to the website, so your boat will look and feel its best on race day. This paint is designed for racing sailboats and high performance offshore powerboats, or any vessel in which speed is the top priority. Check out this new finish and find your local dealer online at pettitpaint.com.

Sweet Lady Propane Tohatsu MFS 5C LPG 5-hp Motor

Case in Point OverBoard Waterproof iPad case || $39.95 - $47.95 Electronic devices can be a love-hate part of our lives on the water, offering so many conveniences, but at the same time bombarding us with distractions. If you choose to leave your device at home while on the water to maximize your time out of the rat race, my hat’s off to you. If you’re like the rest of us who have a hard time leaving the device's convenience —and safety, for that matter —then you’ll want to ensure it’s protected against the elements. If you’re a tablet user, the OverBoard Waterproof iPad case may be just what you need. It’s 100% waterproof with a submersible rating to 19 feet, will float when dropped in the water, and opens and seals easily with the Slide Seal SystemTM. Touchscreen functionality is not impaired by the clear cover and even the speakers are still audible. The OverBoard case also protects against sand, dirt, rain, and wayward drinks, making it a great accessory for anyone who plays on the water. Two size options are available to fit a variety of devices. A shoulder strap for ease of carrying is also included. Prices for the tablet cases range from $39.95 to $47.95 at overboardusa.com.

Although one doesn’t see them as much, propane outboards offer some intriguing benefits. Propane engines tend to burn more cleanly than their gasoline counterparts, require less maintenance, start more readily, and operate more quietly. Perhaps these advantages are what compelled Tohatsu to capitalize on propane technology to produce the new MFS 5C liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), five-horsepower outboard motor that runs entirely on propane. This model is aimed primarily at the sailboaters among us who desire to be rid of old fashioned gasoline altogether. Differing shaft lengths are offered, including the “Sail Pro” (SP) models with long and extra-long shafts to get that prop deep in the water. What’s more, the unit includes a 12-volt, 60-watt, 5-amp charging system that can be hooked to a battery bank or electronic devices. To top it all off, Tohatsu is going with a sleek white housing. The scenario looks clear to us: a little propane for your outboard to get out of the marina, set the sails, and then the stove gets its propane sip as you set the autopilot to Victoria and dive into the galley. No old-school gasoline, no problems. The Tohatsu MFS5C outboard motor is set to be released this month and will be available from Ballard Inflatable Boats for a price to be announced. Check them out at ballardinflatables.com.

App Spotlight

Virtual Sail || $0.99 for iOs

Angles Everywhere || $2.99 for iOs

A clinometer is an instrument used to determine angles of inclination or slope.. Also known as an inclinometer or tilt meter, these devices traditionally look a little bit like a compass. The Clinometer app allows you to measure slope using just your Apple device; measuring the slope with all sides of the device and the camera, and can be used for aligning a picture frame or even more exact measurements when you need to know the precise measurement of an arbitrary

slope, such as the list of your vessel in still water, or the roll in rough water. The app has three modes: clinometer, which functions when the device is held upright; camera mode, which can measure in any direction; and bubble level which can be used when holding the device ﬂat. The app can measure in five different unit modes: degrees, percentage, rise over run, and 1V:H (used in engineering). The Clinometer app is currently only available for iOS devices—sorry, Android users. You can find it in the app store for $2.99.

Knowledge is Power || $4.99 for iOs The Boater’s Pocket Reference has reference facts, ﬁgures, formulas, graphs, how-to guides, and tables of boating information all easily accessed from your iOS device. It has information for experienced boaters as well as the novice. There are piloting and navigation references, including how-tos for using GPS, radar, and sonar; US and Canadian Coast Guard boating regulations; a guide to 50 types of knots; tips on trailering; a glossary of marine technology; and

much more. For the beginner, there’s even a guide to the basics of operating a boat — although we highly recommend that you have a pretty good handle on those before venturing out on the water by yourself! The app also features unit conversion tables, in case you run up against some metrics you need to change to imperial measurements during your travels, and a list of boating resources such as the Coast Guard and Power Squadron. Another one just for the iOS users, the Boater’s Pocket Reference app is available in the iTunes app store for $4.99.

This app is less of a tool for using on the water but brings the sea to the landlubber or could be more of an educational tool—or even a fun game—for beginning sailors. The SailSim app transforms your iPhone into a virtual sailing vessel; you can determine the wind direction, then see how changing the boat heading aﬀects the set of the sails, centerboard, and boat speed. Your iPhone becomes the boat, so turning the iPhone shows you how the sails adjust and change shape relative to the constant direction of the virtual winds, just like they would change in a real-life scenario. Billed as most useful in demonstrating sailing principles to students, the SailSim app shows your boat heading, centerboard position, boat speed for each sail angle, boat tack, point of sail, wind direction (shown as compass direction and arrows), and relative wind position. SailSim is available for $0.99 from the iTunes store.

The Atom watch features Never Dark technology, which illuminates the watch face so you can read the time no matter what the lighting is like outside—perfect for those perpetually cloudy, gray Seattle days. With a 42-millimeter-

diameter face, the Atom is easy to read and designed to be durable enough for all your outdoor activities. The Atom comes in two sizes, one for men and one for women, and both size options are available in multiple color palettes: white, smoke, and tusk (it’s an oﬀ-white) for the men’s watch. The women’s watch features more color variety in the version without Never Dark.

As a cruiser, renowned author and marine Serene • 2005 systems expert, Nigel Calder has seen his fair Malo 45 Classic share of what works and what doesn’t. When $489,900 it came time to build a blue water cruiser, he turned to Malo Yachts of Sweden to construct the extensively customized Malo 45 Classic Nada (now Serene). Calder’s experience is evident in Serene’s layout, systems, outfitting and construction details. From her gorgeous mahogany interior to gleaming gelcoat, build details are top notch. Sail handling systems are set up with shorthanded cruising

The men’s watch goes for $300 and the women’s is $350-$400 for the regular Atom, and $400 for the Never Dark. All styles of the Atom watch can be purchased on reactorwatch.com.

in mind, with all major control lines led to Andersen electric winches at the cockpit. On deck storage space is excellent, as is her stowage space and systems access below decks. A DC based electrical system with Balmar DC genset, world voltage battery charger and high capacity inverter allow Serene to be plugged into shore power anywhere in the world and run all AC devices. All it took was a few knots of breeze on Seattle’s Lake Union to get Serene moving under sail and appreciate her potential. It’s easy to imagine getting her rolling on a tradewind reach or lying comfortably at anchor in an Alaskan fjord.

CZone Combination Output Interface

Pocket Sonar FishHunter Directional 3D Although it’s impossible to predict what new tech will come off the assembly line more than a couple months in advance, there are a few trends that are pretty safe bets. One such trend is portability/miniaturization and another is smartphone and app compatibility. Sonar fish finders are clearly no exception as we turn our attention to the FishHunter Directional 3D, a 6.34-ounce (180-gram) Piezo-electric ceramic crystal portable sonar array. In other words, is that sonar in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Not only is the concept of a sonar array that can fit into one’s backpack or tacklebox intriguing, but the specs are pretty impressive. The FishHunter features five tri-frequency transducers encased in a waterproof, buoyant bobber-style body built to be cast with a rod or trolled with a line. The three useable frequencies are 381 kHz, 475 kHz, and 675 kHz, so all relatively high for theoretically great resolution for shallow depths. The peak to peak energy output is 300 Watts. The frequencies and power output result in an advertised depth range of between 1.4 and 160 feet and a maximum trolling speed of 1.7 knots, which we have not been able to verify ourselves (yet). A ten-hour running battery life and operating temperature range of -22 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit are also touted by the manufacturer, which makes the array rather rugged. What’s more, the FishHunter has a “Fish Attraction” mode where it can illuminate using LED lights and adds to the cool-gadget factor. So we’re dealing with a nifty microarray, but an array is only as good as the accompanying software. Can the user 54 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2017

actually map the seafloor in 3D and spot potential fish school signals in real time like a traditional sonar system aboard? Yes! The app and Wi-Fi capabilities of the FishHunter turn one’s phone, tablet, or other compatible iOS or Android device into a multifunction display to watch and record live streaming data via Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi range of 200 feet is a factor to consider when trolling behind a dinghy or kayak. Perhaps this concept has applications outside of the hobby sphere? The curious marina manager or budding oceanographer can probably think of useful applications. Maybe there are Easter eggs down there? Regardless, the FishHunter Directional 3D portable sonar is something that tech-fans, anglers, boaters, and more could get a kick out of. The price isn’t bad either, especially when compared to integrated sonar systems aboard a yacht (although, to be fair, those are in another league). If curious, you can find out more at fishhunter.com, where the listed price at the time of this writing for the FishHunter Directional 3D model is $249.99.

Increasingly, digital switching seems to be winning the war over traditional analogue switches for vessels systems, the latter requiring sometimes finicky and corrosion-prone mechanical parts. Digital switching offers a swath of benefits, like MFD, NMEA 2000, glass multifunction display, and more integration. The New Zealand based company BEP is embracing the trend with their new CZone Combination Output Interface (COI) module. Not only does the COI give the user the usual benefits associated with digital switching, like the power to control one’s lights and pumps with the touch of a screen, but the 30-channel module is designed for the user to convert from analogue with one simple box unit. Additionally, the COI has waterproof Deutsch connectors and boasts an IPX5 water-resistance rating. It has 12 low-current switched outputs, four high-current configurations, eight analogue inputs, and six digital-switch inputs. The integrated USB port also allows for easy configuration loads from a USB stick. You can look online at bepmarine.com for more information and to locate your local dealer; priced at $1,675.

Digital Antenna Global WebLink The Global WebLink from Digital Antenna is a combination cellular modem and Wi-Fi router that’s meant to keep boaters in touch with the modern world from up to 30 nautical miles at sea. The two-and-a-half-pound unit stands 27 inches tall and supports both 3G and 4G cellular networks worldwide. It also offers internet speeds of up to 300 megabits per second and LAN speeds of up to one gigabit per second, and WiFi on 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. This essentially means that you can steam movies, data, and voice messages to an onboard Wi-Fi device whenever in range. You could conceivably use a signal from Bellingham to Skype a friend in Paris while at anchor at remote Sucia Island, if you so please. What’s more, the antenna has a UV-stabilized polyurethane finish for a hopefully long life. Mounting is straightforward; all one needs are a standard one-inch threaded marine mount and a one-quarter-inch-turn mounting coupler to eliminate cable twisting. Check out digitalantenna.com for your local dealer and information, price is listed as $1,500.

Rusty Hulks on Wild Waters We departed Puerto Williams, the southernmost city in the world, heading east along the Beagle Channel on our way to circle Cape Horn. While excited to be finally so close to our goal, it was also difficult to not think we were also headed to one of the world’s most dangerous ocean passages. Some 800 ships have been lost around the Cape, so it was unnerving to come upon this shipwreck between Chile and Argentina off our starboard beam in front of Snipe Islet. Unlike the night it ran aground in terrible weather, this morning of rare calm and sunshine provided a perfect view of the ship’s rusting remains. It was once the LOGOS, which was built in 1949 and used as a missionary ship to deliver sermons and millions of books around the world. On board just after New Year’s Eve in 1988 were 140 individuals. It had sailed more than 230,000 nautical miles, visiting over 100 countries at some 400 ports of call. This particular night in angry sea conditions, it was caught in strong currents that jarred everyone on board when it ran into the shoal. No maneuvering or shifting the contents of tanks was able to dislodge it as it listed and filled with water in the pounding waves. Amazingly, considering the frigid water temperature, dark night, and roiling seas, all aboard were rescued over several hours of lowering lifeboats and Mayday-responding tugs and navy ships. Today, LOGOS serves as a home to seagulls and albatross as well as a clear warning to other ships as they head either to the Atlantic Ocean or south as we were toward Cape Horn.

Tony’s Tackle Box By Tony Floor

Promise Ahead I have the Cheshire Cat grin on my face as I sit in front of my computer screen and think about the month of April. I reflect on the fire and damnation of the last few months most of us survived in some form, whether it is the ongoing battles in the legislature, early blackmouth fishing closures in too many marine areas, or the dreadful winter weather of rain, snow, and relentless winds. It will be a winter I will easily forget. Now, with April here, we are looking down the barrel of the ongoing salmon fishing season negotiations in the North of Falcon process, which will try any angler’s patience. While we wait for the final decisions to be made at North of Falcon negotiations, which determine our fishing opportunities, I’m thinking about laying the wood to a hatcheryproduced blackmouth before the final chapter of this year’s season slides onto the bookshelf. Clearly, as dictated by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, it’s been a winter season filled more with what you can’t do versus what you can do. Don’t get me started. For the last four years, I have rediscovered quality fishing at Sekiu in the western Strait of Juan de Fuca during the month of April. It has been money for this salmon angler. While I have witnessed everything from slow catching to lights-out fishing at Sekiu in April, the quality of the fish is impressive. Most of the blackmouth in the Straits of Juan de Fuca are beginning to sexually mature and will evolve into summer and fall kings bound for Puget Sound hatcheries. I like it when that happens. The Sekiu fishery performs on both tides as these maturing fish will go on and off the bite throughout the day. On an ebb, I like to start my troll near the Cave, immediately west of Olson’s Resort, working water from 100-140 feet and atPartridge Bank can be a good producer for tempting to troll my gear in the bottom late winter blackmouth on an outgoing tide as Bill Schourup, Silverdale, witnessed five feet of the water column. I’ll continue recently while fishing with Derek Floyd of the troll pattern west down to Eagle or Angler’s Choice Charters. Hoko Point and repeat, taking note of where I find schools of feed (usually herring). Shortening the distance of my troll patterns to stay on top of the bait is a money strategy. When the tide floods, I like to set up around Slip Point immediately east of Clallam Bay and troll east, past Mussolini Rock, the Coal Mine, and all the way to Cod Fish Bay. It is very rare to see any boats in either direction fishing

this region. I might troll a quarter mile or so, in the same depths noted above, until “Boom - blackmouth hook-up!” I continue the troll pattern and another “Boom!” as an April blackmouth just eats my worm! It has been my experience that just about anything works in this fishery. Whole and plug-cut herring, Silver Horde traditional spoons, or even a white hoochie will get the job done. Ace Hi-Flies are also in the repertoire for this fishery. Mix it up and see what works best. When I’m fishing three anglers, I’ll put two 12-pound downrigger balls near the deck from each side of the boat,

I might troll a quarter mile or so, in the same depths noted above, until “Boom blackmouth hook-up!” I continue the troll pattern and another “Boom!” as an April blackmouth just eats my worm! and drop the third rod out the back to mid-depth. Last year my biggest fish, a high-teener, came off the mid-depth rod. The fact of the matter is that the Sekiu fishery does not take a high-level fishing skill to get the job done. The bottom is extremely forgiving, both east and west, composed of sand and mud. Anglers are rewarded by just putting gear in the water and watching the fish come. Sekiu is not easy to get to. It’s a four-hour drive towing my boat from my digs in Olympia. I do not fish Sekiu for a day trip. Considering the distance, I go for several days. There are two fishing resorts in Sekiu. Olson’s, located on the very west end of town, and Van Riper’s, about a quarter mile east of Olson’s. Most rooms have a gorgeous view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Van Riper’s has a few rooms located 20-30 feet from the water with docks immediately out front and a boat ramp. Perfect! My message is plain and simple. I have no intentions of sitting around lighting my hair on fire with thoughts of limited fishing opportunities. I’m heading for Sekiu and hoping that grin on my face is becoming permanent. See you on the water!

On Watch By Peter Schrappen

Stats are for baseball fans. Stick to stories. There’s nothing like going on a long cruise. In my case, I had the great pleasure last summer of spending time on my in-laws Nordhavn in Alaska. I got to stay out of trouble, holed up either in the galley eating or covered up in blankets rereading some of my favorite books (or my favorite activity: eating while reading). This time gave me the chance to take another look at the opus Thinking, Fast and Slow, written in 2011 by Daniel Kahneman. If someone asked me, “Hey Schrappen, what’s the most important book written in the last ten years?” I would respond quite easily, “Thinking, Fast and Slow and why are you calling me by my last name?” Not only does the book explain how decisions are made, but important thinkers and authors regularly refer to its significance. For people like me that best grasp complex topics in their simplest forms it is written in a way that I can understand. My executive summary of this tome would go something like: Humans make decisions either fast (a “Systems 1” style of thinking) or sloooow (what the author would call “Systems 2”). Decision-makers (that’s us!) base decisions on handy rules of thumb (called “heuristics”). As we go along, humans trip themselves up by various biases (like gender, age, and even low-price biases). The book got me thinking since I first read it. What are the ways that lawmakers make decisions? What biases get in their way of making rational decisions? How can I use these pre-determined rules of thumb to boaters’ advantages? First, I would say that more times than not, logic does not matter on controversial issues. When disagreements occur, the elected officials place a political lens over their decisionmaking. This “politics-trump-logic” mindset can frustrate many boaters when they engage their legislators. Don’t get me wrong. Key facts matter and they certainly matter when a state senator asks you for metrics and you answer, “I don’t know.” If you know only one fact, know that boating has an economic impact around $4 billion dollars. Relying strictly on facts, however, reduces our stories, history, and innovations to just cold numbers. Play by play without color commentary is a good way to fall asleep. Similarly, how can the boating community speak the language of lawmakers? To paraphrase another of my favorite authors, entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk: Jab, jab, jab with data and then right hook with a killer story. Similarly, lawmakers use two different systems when making decisions: Systems 1 (logic, facts) and Systems 2 (stories). Lawmakers have bookshelves full of facts. Often what they don’t have are a core group of constituents taking these facts and overlaying compelling stories with them; Systems 1 (facts) plus Systems 2 (stories). If I had to pick one, I’d go with the stories. Stats and memorizing numbers are for baseball fans, stories are for everyone else.

And wow, does the boating world have important stories and the right messengers. Case in point: I received this email from a reader (let’s call him “Super-reader”) the other day. He was proactively reaching out to Jon Snyder, who is a pro-boating advocate in Governor Inslee’s cabinet. Snyder and I have been working on getting more boats to Washington for chartering without an onerous tax. With that in mind, here is how Super-reader unwrapped the silent economy of boating:

Good Morning Jon: I have been “standing by” in my office, sending emails and making phone calls as I monitor the sale of a client’s yacht that is taking place right now. It is a 130-footer that was built here in Washington and was completed and delivered to my client in 2014. She is dockside in Florida waiting for one captain to say farewell and another captain to introduce himself/herself. The rest of her crew has signed off. I have never stepped on board, nor have I even seen her. Many times when I am working it feels like this stuff is not real, as I most often do not see what is the focus of all our attention. I am just on the phone, computer, texting, shuffling papers, looking at surveys, etc. Sometimes the yacht is in the state, other times she is thousands of miles away. I started thinking about how this distant object gained its form and all its components here in Washington state. There were architects and designers involved from all over probably, and workmen climbing all over it giving it its existence, just waiting for Friday to arrive. Then it is off to a family for the weekend, or the movies, the mountains, the restaurants, and taverns and off to see the parents, etc. And of course a lot of money traded hands throughout the process. Families got a share, and from there it went to the grocers, and the gas stations, and the restaurants, and a million other places. So these things that we don’t see too often and we talk about are real. Just some random, early morning ramblings… Ah, great stories. We all need great stories. And guess what? Super-reader got Jon’s attention and received a response. Stay tuned on this one.

Galley Gourmet By Bridget Charters

Those “Other” Northwest Fish Spring is upon us here in the Pacific Northwest in typical fashion: rain. It is said that the rainy spring months keep the riff raff out and cause many folks contemplating a move to the Northwest to reconsider. These long rainy days, which seem perpetually of the five o’clock hour, can wear on the spirit, but we Northwesterners know sunny boating days are just around the corner. We are taking more frequent trips down to our boats, organizing projects for sunny weather, planning trips, and preparing for what we love most; being out on our waters. Spring means the long-awaited salmon and halibut season is starting, and we cannot resist a taste of fresh salmon, even at that hefty price at the local fish market. Northwest inland and coastal waters are starting to settle down from storms, so commercial fisheries are opening with more frequency. When cooking fish for dinner, think about some other options, like rockfish, cod, or sole. There are many delicious “other” fish of the Pacific Northwest that you can find in the markets, and they are inexpensive compared to the big price tags of salmon and halibut. It is important to be conscious of what you buy and try to use your purchasing power in a sustainable way. There is a great guide put out by the Monterrey Bay Aquarium to help you select fish to buy on the West Coast (seafoodwatch.org), and the price at the market helps with that decision making. As I look into what fish are available, I use some great websites. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is a great online source for fish identification (wdfw.wa.gov) and helps explain all the different fish varietals. We, the shoppers, dictate what the grocery stores carry by our purchasing power, and some of the more popular grocery stores and fish markets have great selections. Ethnic stores tend to have a larger selection of “other” fish. “Other” fish types include rockfish (over 20 species listed!), greenling, flatfish, codfish, and perch to name a few.

My favorite of the “other” fish is the smaller Pacific sole that the markets call “Dover sole.” It is light, delicate, and cooks very quickly. The flavor is not at all fishy and is lovely for a quick dinner. Petrale sole and Rex sole are also great fish at this time of year. The snapper you see in the markets are usually some type of rockfish and not a true snapper, which is found in warmer waters, though the texture is similar. Snapper is great broiled or roasted in the oven, or used for a quick sauté. Snapper tends to break apart like sole, so you need to handle it a bit less. The cod we see in the market is usually Pacific cod that are also called true cod, lingcod (that is a greenling variety), or black cod out of Alaska. Cod is usually from a commercial fishery, and is a thicker fillet and a bit easier to work with than sole or rockfish. The local firm fish would be halibut, but albacore is a great option for late summer/fall. Albacore is a local tuna variety and is firm and great for grilling or pan searing. For the more delicate fish, I like to quickly fry and add a light butter sauce, or I broil with butter and lemon and add a sauce on top just before serving. If I am having a few guests for dinner, it is easy to set portions of cod or rockfish up on a cookie sheet, top with a flavorful component, and heat in a hot oven right before sitting down. If I have large, thick pieces of cod, I cut them into chunks and add to a light green curry or seafood stew. Any of these “other” fish are great coated in breadcrumbs and pan fried, or batter coated and deep fried (what isn’t?!). Fish can be intimidating to cook, but if you understand how the fish will react when cooking, you will get a better understanding of the best way to proceed. All these “other” fish are light and delicious in flavor, certainly not the lovely thick halibut or salmon, but tasty just the same. Start to experiment and broaden your Pacific Northwest fish knowledge so when you are out boating and decide to cast a line overboard, you will know just what to do if you pull up a bottom fish!

Green Curry and Fish 8 ounces of cod, snapper, or halibut 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1” wedges 1 Anaheim chili, cut into slices 1 tablespoon ginger, grated 4 cloves garlic, sliced 1 bunch of spinach, washed, stemmed, and sliced (or bulk baby leaves)

3-4 tablespoons green curry (depending on strength) 2 cups coconut milk 1 cup water Salt 3 tablespoons lime juice 1/ cup cilantro (chopped) 4 5-6 leaves basil (optional)

Heat a 10-inch deep sauté pan and add the oil, onions, and salt. Allow to cook on medium until the onions start to soften, then add the Anaheim slices, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for five minutes on medium. Add the curry to the pan along with the coconut milk, lime, and water. Simmer for five minutes and add the spinach and herbs. Cook on low for 5-10 minutes. Add the fish pieces to the curry and simmer for an additional five minutes or until the fish pieces are firm and flake slightly. Turn off the heat, adjust the seasoning with lime and salt, and serve alongside steamed jasmine rice.

62 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2017

Poached Sole Portion-size pieces of sole, or a similar mild, thin whitefish 1-2 stalks asparagus per filet of fish 1/ cup soft butter 2

Salt and freshly ground pepper Fish stock or court boullion Herb cream sauce (recipe to follow)

Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper and evenly slather some of the soft butter onto the fish. For the asparagus, snap off the ends, and cut the asparagus into three-inch pieces for inside the fish. Cook the asparagus in rapidly boiling water for two minutes, then cool down before laying on fish filets. Place two to three pieces of the asparagus on the center of the fillet and gently fold the left side of the fillet onto the asparagus and the right over on top to make a nice folded packet. In a small sautĂŠ pan over very low heat, gently warm a half-inch of fish stock or court bouillon. Place the fish into the pan and cover with a piece of parchment, and poach on low heat until the fish is firm but still slightly opaque. Gently remove fish from the pan and serve with herb cream sauce.

Herb Cream Sauce 2 tablespoons butter 1 shallot, minced (can substitute minced yellow onion) 1/ cup white wine 2

1 cup cream 4 teaspoons chopped herbs: fresh parsley, chervil, tarragon, and chives Salt

In a small saucepan, sweat the shallot and season with a small amount of salt. As the shallot starts to turn pale, add the white wine and allow to reduce by half. Then add the cream and fresh herbs, simmer for five minutes, adjust seasoning, and serve warm.

Fresh Cod Brandade style 4-6 ounces of cod 1/ small yellow onion (sliced) 2 1 clove garlic (smashed) Extra virgin olive oil 2 yellow Finn potatoes or 1 russet potato (peeled and boiled)

/2 cup cream Juice of 1/2 lemon Salt to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste 1 fresh, crusty baguette 1

Sweat the onions with the olive oil, add the garlic, and allow to color lightly; add the cod pieces and cook until the cod starts to set. Add the potatoes and the juice of the lemon, season to taste, and add to the bowl of a food processor. Mix the cod/potato mixture to smooth (quickly), pulse in the cream. Do not over mix!

S EC R E T S Ranked as one of the top 10 island destinations in the U.S., according to Travel + Leisure magazine and others, the San Juan Islands are a boater’s playground. The islands’ rich histories, natural beauty, rare wildlife, and secluded anchorages make this emerald green paradise a must-see for boaters all over the world. By Amy Pemberton

Regardless of your interests, the San Juans have something for you. Tour an eerie mausoleum at Roche Harbor, spot exotic goats along the savannah-like coast of Spieden Island, take a spa day at Rosario Resort, go birdwatching at a secluded sand spit, or spot orcas off beautiful cliffside vistas. The opportunities (and adventures) are endless! While most people know about the San Juan Island staples that can be reached by ferry, like Mt. Constitution and Friday Harbor, here are some of the best boating spots and best-kept-secrets in the San Juan Islands — many of which can only be reached by personal boat. All of these best-kept secrets represent the combined knowledge of the NW Explorations team, a yacht chartering company

with decades of Pacific Northwest boating experience.

SUCIA ISLAND One of the northernmost islands in the San Juans, Sucia is an absolute gem and a mustsee for Pacific Northwest boaters. Almost the entire horseshoe-shaped island is taken up by Washington State Park land—offering up 10 miles of beautiful hiking trails, ancient evergreens, and gorgeous vistas. The most popular place to anchor is at Echo Bay located on the east side of the island. For a more remote anchorage, try Shallow Bay on the west side of the island. The bay’s beautiful sunsets are an added bonus! Although once a hot spot for smugglers, Sucia is virtually uninhabited today, giving you the chance to enjoy her many coves and inlets in peace and quiet (although, you might hear the occasional sea lion). Sucia’s quiet coves also offer shelter from southern winds, making it the perfect place to seek refuge in a storm.

Clockwise from top left: Relaxing and watching the boat at Ried Harbor, Stuar Island; some of Spieden Island’s exotic wildlife, on the move en route from Stuart Island to Friday Harbor, and the lightkeeper’s house at Patos Island.

MATIA ISLAND About a mile-and-a-half southeast of Sucia is Matia Island, another incredibly remote and beautiful oasis. Matia spans 145 acres and is part of the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Matia only has two mooring buoys, so if you’re lucky enough to get a spot, you can usually explore the island in seclusion. There’s also a little-known anchorage on the west side of Matia Island in an unnamed bay just behind Eagle Point. Camping spots are available on the island, as is a helpful kiosk that details the island’s hiking trails. While exploring, you might even find traces of the “Hermit of Matia”—the infamous squatter who lived on the island in seclusion for more than 30 years.

PATOS ISLAND The northernmost island in the San Juans, Patos sits right above Sucia and offers more than 200 acres of Washington State Park land. The most iconic sight on Patos is the Patos Island Light Station. Built in 1893, the station once served as a pivotal beacon for ships transiting Boundary Pass and the Strait of Georgia. Moorage is available in Active Cove on the west side of the island and there’s another small, one-boat cove on the east end of the island at Toe Point. Much like Matia, this island only offers two mooring buoys, so get

there early if you want a spot! If you’d like to learn what it was like living on Patos, check out Helen Glidden’s novel, The Light on the Island, based on Gidden’s experience living there as a child with her 12 siblings.

GARRISON BAY

ROCHE HARBOR

For a more secluded San Juan Island experience, check out Garrison Bay, located on the west side of San Juan Island just south of Roche Harbor. Garrison Bay is one of the few San Juan Island bays that offers full protection from the elements. It’s also home to a historic English Camp that was used in the mid-1800s during the Pig War. Today, the camp showcases a formal garden, original barracks, blockhouse, commissary, and surgeon’s quarters—all maintained by the National Park Service. Rangers can provide camp tours during the spring and summer, or you can explore the camp on your own by downloading a self-guided

Considered one of the best marinas on the West Coast, Roche Harbor is a quaint harbor that boasts plenty of art, history, and fine dining. Tour the historic Hotel de Haro where Teddy Roosevelt enjoyed his favorite baths, or visit the Lady of Good Voyage Church built in the 1880s. The Reserve Sculpture Garden is also a sight to behold. The 19acre garden showcases a rotating exhibit of 100 sculptures made from bronze, stone, wood, metal, glass, and clay. You can also tour the McMillin Mausoleum, where the harbor’s original founder and family are buried. The mausoleum “Afterglow Vista” is an impressive (and slightly eerie) pillared

structure that houses a massive limestone table, chairs, and tomb. Also — don’t miss the Color Ceremony, held every evening from May through October, where the resort retires the flags of Roche Harbor, Washington State, Great Britain, Canada, and the U.S., then caps off the evening with a canon blast across the harbor.

THE EXPLORERS Even if you haven’t heard of NW Explorations, you may have heard a story or two about Captain Brian. Brian Pemberton is the owner of NW Explorations, one of the premier Pacific Northwest yachting companies and he (and his business) have been at the center of Pacific Northwest boating for decades. If you’re curious why their team knows so much about the San Juans, it’s because they live the boating life. They offer charter yachts that can be cruised around the San Juans, Alaska, Gulf Islands, British Columbia, and beyond. Their fleet ranges from a 38-foot Sabre Express all the way to a 58-foot Kadey-Krogen. If you’re not ready to tackle the open seas on your own, they also offer guided flotillas around the San Juan Islands, Desolation Sound, and Alaska. They limit their trips to small, intimate groups so that everyone has a chance to get to know one another and experience the wilderness without the crowds. “Time and time again, we hear that our flotillas are the most unforgettable experiences people have ever had,” Pemberton says. “Passengers not only get to see unique communities, stunning wilderness, and rare wildlife—they also get to experience the unmatched freedom and joy that comes with skippering their own yacht through some of the most beautiful regions in the world.” If you’re still not ready to skipper your own yacht, NW Explorations also offers small training expeditions. The three-day training courses take you around San Juan Islands, while giving you hands-on training with docking best practices, maneuvering, navigation, emergency procedures, and more. Request to join one of their training courses on their website (spots are limited). If you’re really ready to take the plunge and purchase and/or upgrade your yacht, NW Explorations offers a fleet of yachts for sale. Unlike most brokers, they survey their yachts as soon as the boats are listed rather than waiting until they have buyers. This demonstrates up front what issues need to be addressed, and allows them to appropriately price the yacht. Their brokers have several decades of experience and have sold more than $28 million in yachts in the last few years alone. For year-round maintenance and upgrades, NW Explorations’ service department is as familiar with luxury trawlers as any other Pacific Northwest boat maintenance company. Contact them for repairs, installations, commissioning, and more. Their ABYCcertified technicians are well trained and the facilities are well equipped. If you’re interested in NW Explorations, give them a call at 360-676-1248 or visit nwexplorations.com to book your next flotilla, charter, training, boat upgrade, or brokerage tour.

Just north of Roche Harbor is the incredibly secluded Stuart Island. By choice, the island has no running water, electricity, or phones—its inhabitants must supply everything on their own. The island is also home to the historic Stuart Island School, a one-room schoolhouse that had two students in 2008 before closing its doors in 2013. Be sure to take a self-guided tour of the school and its museum. You’ll also want to visit Turn Point Lighthouse. Built in 1893, the lighthouse offers the perfect spot for enjoying a picnic and spotting orcas. If you’d like a souvenir for your trip, stop by the Treasure Chest—a small shop that runs by the honor system. Take what you want and then mail a check when you get home!

LOPEZ ISLAND The third largest island in the San Juans, Lopez Island is an artsy, cyclist-loving island that has some hidden gems not typically traveled by tourists. The first is Fisherman Bay—a landlocked bay located near Lopez Village— the island’s shopping hub. The entrance to the bay can be tricky to navigate and can only be entered at high tide—because of this, the bay is rarely visited, which means more seclusion for you. After anchoring, it’s a short walk to the village and it’s well worth the stroll. Unlike other San Juan Island villages, Lopez Village has yet to become “touristy.” It’s quiet, relaxing, and the locals still wave and say hello—it’s like taking a step back in time. While in the village, enjoy some local fare from Lopez Island Creamery and Lopez Island Vineyards, tour the island’s Historical Society Museum, or, if it’s a Saturday, swing by the farmer’s market from 1000 hours to 1400 hours during the summer. Another must-see spot on Lopez is Spencer Spit, a secluded triangular-shaped sand spit on the northeastern shore of the island. The spit offers 138 acres of state land, along with camping sites and some of the best clamming and crabbing on the island. Sunbathe on the spit’s sand and pebble beach, or do some birdwatching at the nearby lagoon. Watmough Bay, located on the southeast corner of Lopez Island, is another must-see. This well-protected bay offers beautiful rocky

cliffs and a relaxing sandy beach. If you’re looking for views, take the trail branching off from the beach, which leads to the top of Chadwick Hill Bluff offering sweeping views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Whidbey Island.

Clockwise from bottom left: Whiling away the afternoon in the sheltered anchorage of Jones Island; visiting the Jones Island School, and, on your way home, passing Lime Kiln lighthouse near Friday Harbor.

JAMES ISLAND James Island, located just east of Decatur Island on Rosario Strait, is a 113-acre state park, with quiet anchorages on both the east and west sides. There are three mooring buoys on the east side and a 44-foot dock on the west cove (note—the dock is only available between April and September). The island offers 13 campsites, hiking trails, quiet beaches, fishing, and sweeping views of the Cascade Mountains and Rosario Strait. James Island is the perfect way to take in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, while basking in some much-needed peace and quiet.

ROSARIO RESORT Rosario Resort is a history buff’s dream. Located in Cascade Bay on Orcas Island, the resort has a rich, 100-year old history. Built between 1906 and 1909 by Seattle shipbuilder and mayor Robert Moran, the mansion takes you back in time with original furnishings, photographs, and displays. The resort was part of a 7,000-acre purchase by Moran in 1904 that also included Moran State Park and Mt. Constitution. While anchored there, be sure to catch the resort’s evening presentation— learn about the history of the resort and enjoy an incredible pipe organ and grand piano concert by the resort’s long-time historian, Christopher Peacock. If you dock at Rosario, you’ll also get to use all of the resort’s facilities, including their pools, hot tub, and sauna! If you’re looking for a little R&R, take a spa day and then cap off the evening with a locally-sourced and delicious dinner at The Mansion Restaurant.

JONES ISLAND If you’re in search of some up-close shots and encounters of some of the San Juan’s most graceful deer, look no further than Jones Island. Located in the heart of the San Juans, Jones Island is just off the southwest corner of Orcas Island on the San Juan Channel and offers a 188-acre state park with 24 campsites—two of which are dedicated to the Cascadia Marine Trail System. There’s a small anchorage on the south side of the island with a few mooring buoys, along with a larger anchorage on the north side, with several buoys, a mooring float, and a small beach. This island’s claim to fame is its herd of tame blacktail deer, which have become so used to socializing with people

that they’re known for offering friendly close encounters to the island’s visitors.

SPIEDEN ISLAND “Safari” isn’t typically the first word that comes to mind when thinking of the San Juans. Unless, that is, you’re talking about Spieden Island. The privately-owned island was a big game destination in the 1970s, stocked with animals from around the world, including African Barbary sheep, Corsican mouflons, Spanish goats, Indian spotted deer, and Japanese sika deer. While the northern side of “Safari Island” is heavily forested, the southern side features open grassland giving it a savannah-like feel. While the safari tours and hunting didn’t last long (too many people on San Juan Island complained about shots firing at them!), you can still catch a peek at the island’s exotic animals.

CYPRESS ISLAND Cypress, named after what explorers mistakenly thought were Cypress trees on shore, is one of the San Juan’s largest uninhabited islands. The island offers 5,500 acres of rich forest and grasslands, along with nearly 20 miles of beautiful hiking trails. Almost the entire island is either a Natural Resources Conservation Area or Natural Area Preserve Lands that allows the island to preserve its natural beauty and protect local wildlife. Cypress’s main attraction is its hiking trails and small swimming lakes. Stop at either Eagle Harbor or Pelican Beach (both have mooring balls), and then hike up to Eagle Cliff, the perfect place to catch sweeping views of the San Juans and spot bald eagles. Keep in mind, this trail is closed February 1 -July 15 to protect nesting raptor and their young.

VENDOVI ISLAND Located on the southeastern end of Bellingham Bay, Vendovi is one of the San Juan’s

newest attractions, as it was just purchased by the San Juan Island Preservation Trust in 2010. The practically untouched island offers a rare glimpse of natural, uninhabited life. Snap photos of the island’s rich foliage and wildflowers and enjoy several miles of crisscrossing hiking trails. Feel free to stop by the 80-foot dock located on the island’s northern shore. While overnight stays are prohibited, you can visit during the day from May 1 to September 30 from 1000 hours to 1800 hours. Interestingly, the island was named after a prisoner—Chief Vendovi—who was aboard Charles Wilkes’ Exploring Expedition in the 1800s. Vendovi, chief of a Fijian tribe, was captured by Wilkes after murdering and supposedly eating the crew of a U.S. whaling ship. Although Vendovi was on his way to New York to await trial, he ended up staying with Wilkes’ crew for more than two years, slowly gaining respect and admiration. In fact, prior to his capture, Vendovi lived a regal and, for the time, impressive life, boasting more than 50 wives and sporting a massive hairdo that was maintained by 12 slaves every day. Just one day after arriving in New York for trial, Vendovi passed away. His name and little-known history still live on in the San Juans.

A JOURNEY

REALIZED Words: Paul Hawran, Owner and Captain of M/Y Argo Photos: Andy Ulitsky

The realization of our dream to round Cape Horn didn’t strike us until several days after accomplishing our near-lifetime ambition. We know many other boaters have traveled here, but this was our Mt. Everest. In fact, we were told more people summit Everest than circle the Horn on their own boat. During the first phase of our adventure, described in the article A Journey Begins of the September, 2016 Northwest Yachting issue, we Bainbridge Islanders Paul Hawran and Andy Ulitsky described our shakedown cruise aboard the custombuilt Outer Reef motoryacht, Argo, to Alaska through the Inside Passage. The successful shakedown that concluded part one of our adventure was just the beginning, for Argo travelled another 9,000 nautical miles down the coast of the U.S. to the Sea of Cortez and still further south along Central and South America coasts. Like the Greek myths of old, Argo’s journey was not only an odyssey, but echoed the tale of the Argo-nauts as we searched for our Golden Fleece – in this case, Cape Horn on our own boat, a goal we accomplished on February 5, 2017. As Argo departed Puerto Vallarta last November, the hurricane season had officially ended, but the seas were still angry and unsettled along the Mexican and Central American coasts. While cruising to Costa Rica to refuel, re-provision, and get our heads into the voyage, we ran into what the weather routers called a “phenomenon” – several squalls joined together off the coast of Mexico to create a short storm that produced 50-knot winds and 12-foot seas. Perhaps it was an omen of things to come. As we passed through this phenomenon, we knew that Argo needed to pass through the Gulf of Tehuantepec and endure the Papagayo winds. But being simple-minded optimistic cruisers, we thought Rex Neptune would give us a break

and provide nice seas for the remainder of the voyage. Wrong! Perhaps it was Rex Neptune’s way of testing our resolve. Both Tehuantepec and the Papagayo winds were not favorable and were similar to the earlier storm. Once again, being naïve cruisers with a sense of immortality, we moved on. While Costa Rica offered a pleasant break, the difference between our Alaska Inside Passage shakedown and the openocean pounding was dramatic. There were many sleepless night runs with mysterious sounds of shifting gear as we grasped whatever handholds were available. While Argo, our custom-built Outer Reef M/Y 880 Cockpit Motor Yacht, performed like a champ, the crew became seasoned as Rex Neptune tested the limits and the crew’s fortitude. However, we were resolute in our goal of getting to and around Cape Horn. While making headway south in the Pacific Ocean, our weather routers insisted that we take a direct heading west rather than a diagonal southwest heading to the coast of South America. Apparently, a new hurricane was forming in the Caribbean which was projected to hit Costa Rica. We headed west and then south to Chile, opening Argo to considerations of the Walker Circulation, Intertropical Convergence Zone, the Humboldt Current and the South Pacific Gyre, and their effects on El Niño/ Niña patterns. For us, the result was seas running north that often produced large, narrow spaced swells and mixed seas rebounding off the coast. Argo was built specifically for stability, endurance, and performance with an efficient displacement

The journey was difficult and at times felt insurmountable, but with the help of the Outer Reef Yachts office (our Mission Control) and our agents and now friends in Chile (South American Super Yacht Support Services - SASYSS) who made our journey as nonSpanish speaking individuals a joy, we experienced firsthand both the unique and unbelievable natural beauty of Chile and the kindness, generosity, and openness of the Chilean people. Our associates Mike Shaughnessy and Kim McDonald also provided critical support to the mission. This journey will not go down in the annals of world history, but for us Rocky says it best, “Yo, Adrian! We did it!” —Paul Hawran

speed providing a range of approximately 2,500 nautical miles and top end speed of 15 to 16 knots depending on local currents. In terms of running in an open ocean in desolate areas of the world, Argo was built with redundancies: twin engines, twin gensets, twin anchors and windlasses, three life rafts, as well as electronic backups to the backups. We entered Chilean waters in early December and were greeted by a host of government officials including immigration, customs, health authorities, armada officers, the port captain, and a number of sundry officials whose tasks were to ensure the seaworthiness of Argo and its crew. Chile, with limited search and rescue operations, needs to ensure that vessels are properly equipped for the voyage through Patagonia and beyond. We later learned that Chile is not accustomed to motoryachts of

76 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2017

an intermediate size. Any vessel between 50 and 200 gross tons is treated as a semicommercial vessel and in certain ports require the attendance of a pilot on board. Chile also requires daily reporting at 0800 and 2000 hours and official clearing in and out of various ports through the local armada station. In fact, throughout a voyage in Chile, intermediate radio calls are made to various manned lighthouses or armada stations who track the progress of the vessel. Although initially such intrusion into our privacy was greeted with skepticism, we quickly began to appreciate that someone was watching us and making sure we reached our intended goal. Even for non-Spanish speaking crew, we found the personnel at the various armada stations to be extremely helpful, patient, and a true resource for Argo and its crew. In fact, even having the inconvenience of a pilot aboard as we approached a number of harbors became a great learning experience. These pilots were often former navy officers and were happy to share their knowledge and techniques to help us in our voyage south. This may go without saying, but traveling in Chile with a motoryacht is not the same as in the United States. Marinas are scarce in Chile and the marinas we found did not provide the usual amenities to which we spoiled U.S. cruisers are accustomed. A typical marina was often merely a building with or without docks, no shore power (during our entire voyage in Chile, we never found shore power and solely operated a genset or batteries), and perhaps, if fortunate, a mooring ball. A number of times we came alongside a commercial pier used predominately by fishing or supply vessels for the many salmon farms located throughout Chile. These piers are inhospitable for motoryachts of an intermediate size (50 to 110 feet) and if we ever returned to Chile, we would avoid these piers and settle for anchoring. Occasionally, we rafted to other boats. We entered Chile in Iquique, a lovely city whose claim to fame is a clock tower built by Gustave Eiffel, of tower notoriety. We quickly, or as quickly as we could, got out of the open Pacific to transit along Chile arriving in Valdivia before we entered Patagonia. Valdivia was settled by German immigrants

following the First World War and it retains its Germanic routes. In fact, Valdivia, at least in our humble opinion, brews the best beer in the world (and we have been to the Octoberfest in Munich so we speak with certain expertise). We also docked at the oldest marina in South America, Club de Yachtes Valdivia, and although the amenities were scarce, the marina personnel made up for a perceived inconvenience. We arrived in Puerto Montt, the first port inside Patagonia. Here, while exploring the volcanoes and spectacular lakes, we provisioned for our voyage south, including 600 feet of line used to secure Argo to trees in various “caletas” or overnight anchorages. The small towns we visited along the inside passage to Cape Horn were simply phenomenal. We celebrated Christmas in Chiloe Island where we drank pisco eggnog, visited old Jesuit wooden churches, survived a magnitude-seven-plus earthquake, and rang in the New Year aboard Argo at Melinka. We anchored in dozens of coves as we moved south, tying off with stern lines to shore whatever would hold Argo in the event of winds during the night. The few villages along the way were fascinating. Tortel and Puerto Eden were unique in that boardwalks along the water took the place of any streets. Puerto Eden is a simple town with only 600 residents, but we were greeted like royalty, a reputation this town is known for among visiting cruisers. As we approached by dinghy, we were welcomed by the local Port Captain, local police (carabinieri), and the park ranger who escorted us through town. In fact the park ranger doubled as the only restaurant owner in Puerto Eden. He first brought us to the school for a rare Wi-Fi connection, then to his house where he prepared dinner and baked bread for us to take on our voyage, all the time refusing, unsuccessfully, any payment. This typical yet amazing attitude and giving nature of the Chilean people will long be remembered by Argo and its crew. The “roaring forties and furious fifties,” referring to the latitudes, is not a myth. Once we crossed the 40th parallel, we noticed a change in climate, weather, and the natural beauty of Chile. In the forties, rainforests were jammed with trees and green Continued on Page 78

only became an issue when transiting near or into the Pacific. At the fiftieth parallel, winds increased to anywhere between 50 and 80 knots, and the landscape became more barren. Trees and vegetation became sparse. Beautiful by its nature, tall stone mountains shimmered in the sunlight whenever we saw the sun, or were capped by multilayered clouds.

Stunning glaciers were commonplace and phenomenal sites to behold as they often met the water on our beam. On those calm days, which were few and far between, the water sparkled, but was really, really cold, and changed colors from green to cloudy white due to glacier runoff. When the sun peaked through, we’d rush out for some vitamin D exposure and welcomed it as God’s gift to us. It was a treat and honor to cruise along the Strait of Magellan and see whales, seals, and especially dolphins, who surfed our bow waves or played with us when on the dinghy. On our last port after Puerto Natales but before Cape Horn, Puerto Williams (almost across from Ushuaia, Argentina), we were again met by the same kindness of the Chilean people we experienced throughout our voyage. We cleared through the armada station and stated our destination of Cape Horn, 90 miles further south. We were advised of the anchorages and routes to be taken as well as reminded of the distinct possibility of truly awful and unpredictable weather. While waiting for a favorable weather window, we hiked the Dientes Navarino (teeth) above the town, visited a Yagan (indigenous village), and ate local fish, scallops, and king crab. We arrived in the vicinity of Cape Horn on February 5, 2017. In rounding the Cape, we found the seas on the south side to be confused, as this is where the Pacific and Atlantic oceans met. However, once we turned north and eastward towards the famed Cape Horn lighthouse, the seas became still–well at least by our standards and based on the horror stories we had heard. Because of the rocky bottom, we had to dinghy to a slippery and rocky shore. We climbed up the old steps and rocks and were met by the armada officer and his family who were as gracious as all the other Chilean people we met. Warmly greeting us, they allowed us to tour the lighthouse and small wooden chapel, and were regaled Continued on Page 80

with stories. He told us that only a few days earlier, Cape Horn had sustained winds of 175 knots. Before leaving Cape Horn, as a new weather front approached, we continued a tradition by giving the officer a few bottles of wine and some treats for the kids (apparently the officer and his family do one-year tours on the rock). Of course, we also took photos with the iconic albatross sculpture and then hurried back to Puerto Williams where we begin our return voyage northward to get the hell out of the furious fifties and roaring forties. The trip south was awe inspiring, but of course not without its heartaches, headaches, and many surprises. Even with an excellent build-out, the voyage tested many systems, parts, tolerance levels (ship and crew), and access issues that had not been apparent on our earlier shakedown cruise. We experienced a whole range of operational issues as we headed from Costa Rica to Chile and spent time in Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and finally Cape Horn: 1. The Weather – We contracted with WRI Ltd. in New York to give us the latest forecasts and provide go/no-go decisions on our voyage. In our humble opinion, given the

severe weather patterns, a voyage into this area of the world without a reliable weather service is foolhardy. Internet information can provide general good information (if it is even available), but even for the seasoned cruiser, anomalies in the weather patterns in this part of the world can only be analyzed through the eyes of a professional. The professionals at WRI observe patterns that we believe can only be seen through their eyes. 2. Spare Parts – Prior to our departure, we contracted with Wheel House Technologies who analyzed our mechanical systems and provided a list of spare parts required for the voyage. Even with this help, it was not enough. Throughout the voyage we encountered mechanical issues that required immediate attention. No matter how well a vessel is equipped with spare parts, inevitably, you will not carry the part that is needed. With our own diagnostic abilities (usually of the “OMG” or “WTF” prompts), the help of Outer Reef Yachts and our agents SASYSS, was invaluable to arrange for any spare parts or provide suggested remedies. Even with their help, getting spare parts through Chilean customs became a trip through the Twilight Zone. No matter how expeditious

U.S. forwarders are in getting the parts to Chile, the customs procedures will often delay the arrival to the vessel. For all the positives Chile offers, don’t rely on Chilean sources to carry the parts or even basic maintenance items U.S. cruisers expect. It won’t happen! We learned to be prepared for the unexpected, jerry-rig broken parts, and wait for the parts to arrive. 3. Local Agents – As we mentioned, we are non-fluent Spanish speaking cruisers, but even if we had a Spanish background, it wouldn’t have been enough. The maze of regulations, processes, and procedures are as daunting as the fjords of Chile. Our agents, SASYSS, helped in every aspect of our voyage including itinerary, clearing through various ports, guidance, and counseling in all aspects of our voyage. They were immensely helpful in customs negotiations (getting parts to Argo) as well as a multitude of other areas. They were as critical to us as having a good weather router and an Outer Reef office dedicated to our successful voyage. Perhaps in another article we could detail some of the additional aspects of this voyage, but suffice to say that we always pushed ourselves onward. We are happy that we overcame setbacks and continued our voyage to experience firsthand the wonders of a world rarely seen by many U.S. cruisers. Bainbridge Island-based Paul Hawran and Andy Ulitsky are adventure cruisers, brothers-in-law, and proud Argo-nauts. Paul’s years of working in the biotech industry as CFO, CEO, and owner of a medical lab made the fulfillment of his lifelong dreams possible. Paul has built and enjoyed four yachts, and, now that he is retired, has the opportunity to live his dream and have even more fun. Andy has traveled extensively by motorcycle, explored ocean depths by scuba, kayaked, photographed, and, most importantly, enjoyed his family. During his career in epidemiology and health administration, Andy never wanted to be defined by what he did for a living, only by what he did to live.

GIVE IT A SPIN How a nearly century-old concept might transform sailing By Peter Marsh

Above: The rotor ship Buckau in 1924. 82 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2017

Green is King was the title of my last article in the Northwest Yachting February 2017 issue, describing the first hybrid ferry on the West Coast carrying trailers in-between the mainland of British Columbia and central Vancouver Island. At high-speed, the ferry burns liquid natural gas (LNG) in its diesel engines to generate 9,000 horsepower, while at low speed near the shore, a bank of lithium-ion Corvus batteries made in B.C drives the ferry. Hybrid ship designs like this were pioneered in Scandinavia where ecological hydro-power has long been the standard for utilities. The public demand for clean power use has led to the introduction of hybrid propulsion in several new ferries and short-haul cargo vessels. I expected this to be the gold standard for green shipping until some new technology like

the fuel cell was perfected several years from now. Boy, was I wrong! On January 25, a news release from Viking Cruises of Helsinki, Finland really upped the ante in the green ship stakes. It announced that the M/S Viking Grace, a LNG-fueled cruise ferry and one of the most environmentally-friendly cruise ships in the world, will be adding “renewable power” to its credentials and its marketing, thanks to the addition of a Norsepower Rotor Sail. When it resumes cruising in 2018 through the pristine archipelago between Turku, Finland and Stockholm, Sweden, Viking Grace will be the third modern ship and first passenger vessel in the world to harness the wind via a simple law of physics known as the “Magnus Effect.” This radical concept in marine technology may sound like a “spin off” (forgive my pun) from advanced

aeronautical research, but it is actually something we are all familiar with. The Magnus Effect causes balls to rise when hit with backspin, creating a surprising amount of lift in sports from golf to soccer.

The Magnus Effect Mystery When the wind is on the beam (60-130 degrees) and reaches a predetermined strength, the 75-foot high and 12-foot diameter tubular Norsepower rotor mast automatically begins spinning. This extracts lift from the wind to supplement the ship’s engines and reduce its emissions and fuel cost. This effect is based on research that began in the 1600s when Sir Isaac Newton observed the unexpected motion of tennis balls. A century later, the object in motion was the musket ball and the scientist was another Englishman named Benjamin Robins. He tried to predict the range of the British Army’s standard musket in winds of different strength and direction. In the 1860s, this problem was carefully studied and described by Heinrich Gustav Magnus, a German professor and a scientific genius who actually made far more important discoveries in chemistry electro-magnetism. Sadly, he is only remembered for some minor experiments involving the trajectory of spinning iron balls, which have fascinated nautical inventors ever since!

captains pondered ways to modernize sailing ship and preserve these iconic symbols of a bygone era. Flettner himself was inspired to try a brief experiment with a metal sail around 1920. It almost ended in disaster, but he was widely quoted at the time stating it was far more efficient than a fabric sail—as the last America’s Cup clearly demonstrated! Now his thinking led him in a completely opposite direction—away from sails entirely. Some colleagues were investigating the Magnus Effect in aircraft, and he was intrigued by the idea of applying the concept to ships. He took the next logical step and used the institute’s wind tunnel to study this phenomenon. He proved that a vacuum was created ahead of the spinning cylinder and an area of high pressure behind, resulting in forward propulsion. His tests appeared to show that a rotating cylinder could extract up to 15 times as much energy from the wind as the same area of sail.

The Amazing Rotor Ship In 1924, he successfully tested a prototype of his rotor mast on a small yacht and visualized a future where ships would

be powered by rotor power. So he took the ambitious step of obtaining the funds to acquire a 156-foot schooner to fully demonstrate the ability of his discovery. If you think wingsails are revolutionary today, imagine what mariners must have felt when they saw Flettner replacing the two masts and rigging with two hollow cylindrical towers! The cylinders were over 60 feet high and 10 feet in diameter, made of riveted and rolled sheet steel, and sat on bearings so they could be rotated. Not by a few degrees like a wingsail, but at 120 rpm by small electric motors driven by a 50-horsepower diesel engine! The total weight of the complete mechanism—towers, engine, and motors—was given as 15,000 pounds, just one-fifth the weight of the discarded sails and rigging. This must have been a dramatic sight in a time when traditional trading ketches still sailed on the Baltic Sea and most aircraft were bi-planes. The next year, 1926, Flettner renamed his ship the Buckau and successfully crossed the Atlantic to South America. According to the New York Times, when the rotor ship arrived in New York, “He

Anton Flettner Other than making guns more accurate, none of these learned gentlemen seemed to have any more constructive uses for the rotor effect. But Anton Flettner (18851961) was a German-born engineer who came from a long line of seafaring men. His first dreams of invention began when, as a boy, he made a voyage to Australia before the mast in his father’s ships. As a young engineer at Zeppelin Works he made a close practical study of aerodynamics. He went on to become director of the Institute for Aero and Hydro-Dynamics in Amsterdam. At the end of World War I, the age of commercial sail was practically dead. Germany’s great fleet of steel square riggers built to carry nitrates from the Chilean desert around Cape Horn was stranded in ports all round the Americas and could no longer compete with the latest steam ships. This was seen as a cultural disaster by traditional seafarers, and many retired

received a welcome such as is accorded only to celebrities of the very first rank. Here was a man who had truly revolutionized the art of harnessing the wind, who had replaced a device, used in essentially unaltered form for thousands of years, the canvas sail, by a modern machine, ten times as efficient and requiring no crew for handling.” No less a mind than Albert Einstein pronounced the rotor principle of great practical importance. Popular Science Monthly jumped on the bandwagon with more praise for Flettner and his invention. “Blue Coal” was now the slogan the inventor used for his wind machine that would harness wind-fuel for the good of mankind. “It is wonderfully cheap,” he tells us, “and it is available to the world in billions of horsepower.” Flettner claimed that each tower produced 500 horsepower of thrust and that this was safer because “reefing” was accomplished by simply slowing the spinning. Two students in naval architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology were so impressed they decided to build their own rotor themselves. They managed to complete the new rig from salvaged parts and stepped it on an abandoned 30foot navy cutter. No reports exist on how it really sailed and consumed fuel—a common feature of the coverage of Flettner’s “miraculous discovery.” The German government showed their faith in Flettner by building a 3,000-ton, three-rotor passenger ship, the Barbara. The project ended and the story stopped there with no explanation. Some skeptical marine engineer must have found the fuel log and discovered the rotors were a net loss—using more fuel than they were supposedly saving. The whole episode seems to have been viewed as a useful but unsuccessful experiment; the rotors were scrapped, the ships returned to their former roles, and the rotor ship seemed as dead as the clipper ship. That would

appear to be the end of the matter. I wonder if the Germans have an expression for our “No such thing as a free lunch”? But in Berlin, one minister had predicted that “the time is not far off when forests of windmills will be centralized in various parts of the country to supply power and light to nearby cities and factories.” Unfortunately, history intervened in Germany, but this prediction really came true in the 21st century. Flettner continued to do research and made many more design breakthroughs.

Flettner claimed that each tower produced 500 horsepower of thrust and that this was safer because “reefing” was accomplished by simply slowing the spinning. He went on to invent and mass produce the famous Flettner rotary ventilator that ran without any electric input in buses, boats, etc. During World War II, he engineered new machinery for one-man helicopters, then was picked up by the occupation forces and brought to the United States as a consultant to the office of Naval Research along with many other aviation pioneers. He started the Flettner Aircraft Corporation which tried to develop new helicopters for the U.S. military. His greatest contribution may have been the servo-rudder for aircraft, which was adapted into the design of selfsteering gear for offshore yachts. He died at 76 years of age in New York City in 1961.

in the 1970s. Here was the opportunity for armchair sailors to once again expound on simple, cheap effective ways to propel ships by free, renewable energy. Ship owners had to show some interest in this energy-saving trend to keep their shareholders happy, but none of the quixotic 1980’s solutions like kites and wingsails seemed any more feasible than those from the 1920s. The only serious effort came from Jacques Cousteau, who saw his windship project as an elegant statement of intent and marketing to his ecologically

conscious fans. The Alcyone is a research vessel powered primarily by twin engines with a beamy 100-foot aluminum hull. Cousteau and his scientific team designed and patented a system that could assist the twin engines when the wind was fair. It steps two 34-foot fixed ovoid cylindrical Turbosail masts, each with a movable full-height foil flap that worked like an aircraft wing flap and could be rotated around the back of the mast to tack. To delay the stalling point of the airflow, a large fan at the top of the Turbosail pumps air up the mast and out through thousands of little vent holes to allow the air to escape on the lee side exposed by the flap’s movement. When the Alcyone visited Portland, Oregon in the mid 1980s, I fought my way through the crowds filling the dock and managed to talk my way on board. Jean Michel Cousteau gave me a tour of the windship and let me climb into the mast through the access door. I remember there was a ladder up the inside that looked very tempting, and the large floppy discs in their computers, my first sight of the digital world. According to one of the Alcyone’s more recent skippers, Bernard Deguy, who went around the world, results were not what they hoped for. “First we never use the fans atop the masts. Because the noise, it is impossible for the crew to sleep inside the boat. Secondly, we need a good breeze coming from amidships to notice that the Turbosails are producing power. In fact, we are motoring most of the time!”

Two Norsepower rotors have been in operation aboard the Finnish vehicle ferry Estraden since 2015.

An American Rotor Yacht That was probably the conclusion reached from the serious experiment on the 42-foot yacht Tracker in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts in the early 1980’s. A reporter was impressed by the rotor that was 24 feet high and 42 inches in diameter as it revolved at up to 600 rpm, powered by a lawn-mower sized engine driving a hydraulic pump and motor. “Under rotor power alone, the 42-foot Tracker reached a maximum speed of 6.1 knots in an 18.4 knot wind and a true wind angle of 122 degrees,” he wrote. Of course, that begs the question how fast would it have gone if the engine was simply connected to a marine propeller?

Flettner Gets Another Spin In 2010, German wind-turbine manufacturer Enercon launched a 426-foot hybrid cargo vessel called E-Ship 1 with four 88-foot tall Flettner rotors. The ship was designed to transport wind-turbine components and has made several voyages to Uruguay. This route passes through the NE and SE tradewinds, which should provide near-perfect sailing/rotoring conditions. However, this was never cited in the report Enercon provided in 2013. This report stated that the rotors had added two

knots to the ship’s speed of 12 knots with the wind on the quarter near the Brazilian coast. The company, a major player in the turbine business, continues to claim fuel savings from 10% to 35% are possible. It’s hard to avoid the impression that they are cherry picking their data by highlighting the rare days when the wind is on the beam and ignoring the rotors fuel use by using exhaust heat to run a small steam turbine, so it is more-or-less free energy anyway! But hope springs eternal in the attempt to capture the power of the wind for ships—even if does not use sails. In 2015, the first Norsepower rotor —laminated from fiberglass and foam sandwich—was installed on the Finnish vehicle ferry Estraden, which operates between the Netherlands and the UK. Weather conditions were mainly calm throughout the study, but the results overseen by Finland’s VTT Technical Research Centre confirm fuel savings of 2.6%. So a second rotor was installed in 2016 and the fuel savings jumped to 6.1% with a peak of 10% while sailing. This led to Norsepower receiving a $4 million investment from a clean technology venture fund to develop the largest ever Flettner rotor with a height of 100 feet. It should have a maximum equivalent power output of more than four megawatts (MW), and the

company forecasts savings of 20% for vessels on favorable wind routes. Well they would, wouldn’t they? Windship believers look to a brave new world where new technologies like hydrofoils and weather satellites could be applied as well to shipping. This has certainly resulted in two amazing recent passages under sail: French single-hander Thomas Coville raced around the world non-stop in 49 days on a 103-foot trimaran, while a crew of six of in a 105-footer followed soon after and returned to France in just 41 days! I wasn’t expecting those records to fall for a decade or more, so I admit I have no idea how much more performance the high-tech Flettner rotor can deliver. Maybe we will soon see them spinning atop the state ferries as they go for a “spin” on Puget Sound. Peter Marsh grew up in Greenwich, UK, started dinghy sailing in 1963, and witnessed the start of the Singlehanded Trans-Atlantic Race in 1964. He was involved in early trimaran development, then joined Major H.W. Tilman for a voyage to the Arctic in 1971. He came to the United States in 1972 and has only built one more multihull, a small open trimaran that he cruised to Alaska twice in the 1980s, plus a 1986 voyage on the Great Lakes. He described those voyages in his first stories for Northwest Yachting magazine. He has lived in Astoria since 2002. Read many of his stories at www.sea-to-summit.net

RACING SHEET

Springing into Action Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Jan Anderson Sailors were welcomed by clear skies and a light southerly breeze for the annual season opening the Blakely Rocks race on the morning of March 4, 2017. Hosted by Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle, the Blakely Rocks race is the first of the Center Sound Series and officially marks the kick-off of the spring sailing season. This year, most boats made it around the rocks in 10 knots of wind, which died off as the afternoon wore on. The different classes were quite a sight as they, start-

ing with the slowest boats first, converged along the Bainbridge Island shore and worked their ways up the beach to escape the current. More than a few boats found the bottom in the tricky and often shallow bay at the entrance to Eagle Harbor. The scene was picture perfect as the mass of boats neared the rocks and set spinnakers for the downwind leg home. As the fleet headed north, the wind began to fade into swirling puffs and large holes formed throughout the racecourse. The race commit-

tee made the decision to shorten the ﬁnish for all but the ORC big boats at the northern turning mark; saving many hours of drifting and insuring that boats could score points in the ﬁrst race of the series. In sharp contrast to the previous weekend’s sunshine, March 11 brought with it rain, and plenty of it. Scatchet Head is the second race in the Center Sound Series and with traditionally heavy winds and a downwind start, it makes for and exciting day on the water. With the wind

forecast calling for a steady 10 knots with gusts up to the high twenties, it was anyone’s guess as to where to set up on the course. Racing got underway in heavy rain, though it did begin to ease off once everyone was already wet and cold. After rounding the bell buoy, the fleet headed toward the finish and came face to face with the USS Independence, a decommissioned aircraft carrier under tow to be scrapped on the Gulf Coast. The large security zone around the ship made for some complicated tactical decisions in the shifty breeze. After a short drop in the wind speed, a steady southerly filled in and brought the fleet to the finish line. As sails were folded and boats put away, the Corinthian Yacht Club’s Shilshole Clubhouse was standing room only as shivering sailors searched for something to warm themselves up with. April means many racers will be heading north to Vancouver, British Columbia to take part in the 49th running of West Vancouver Yacht Clubs Southern Straights on April 14. The race has often forced better judgment to take a back seat as the course takes the fleet on a tour of the Straights of Georgia during a potentially frigid time of year. Expect a full report, and be sure to watch this space for more racing and results all spring and summer long.

Right: The big guys on the move with Eye Candy in the lead, at Scatchet Head. Far Right: Getting a little too close to the marker. APRIL 2017 || NORTHWEST YACHTING

P RTS OF CALL By Norris Comer A visit to charming La Conner, Washington on a sunny spring day is surely one of the great annual treats that spoil Pacific Northwest boaters. Located on the north-south running Swinomish Channel that connects Skagit Bay to Padilla Bay (thus circumventing Deception Pass), La Conner is not only a delight to visit, but also strategically within striking distance of Anacortes and the San Juan Islands up north, as well as the Seattle metropolis to the south. The small town is tucked in between farmlands to the east and the Swinomish Tribe Reservation on the other side of the channel to the west. Throw in the influence of a lively community of artists and the preservation of historic buildings, and La Conner as we know it starts to make a lot of sense as a one-of-a-kind destination. A key aspect to appreciating La Conner is the town’s affinity for the seasons. Perhaps nowhere else does the time of year play such a central role to a community’s identity. When we visited in the spring, the locally celebrated snow geese were flocking in the thousands in farmlands just a few miles out of town, in a display that rivaled anything out of National Geographic. The fields of daffodils were in bloom, and the matching bicyclists in daffodil-themed attire pedaled past in downtown proper. Bikers, complete with leather jackets and fingerless gloves, enjoying the newfound sun thundered down the streets, fresh off the road from the first ride of the season. Farm-to-plate restaurants featured spring salmon while talk buzzed about the upcoming Tulip Parade. The seasons, so dramatic and temporal in nature, are what make visits to La Conner a new discovery every time. Navigating the Swinomish Channel will be the biggest challenge with regards to entering La Conner from the water. The Port of Skagit has a few helpful tips on their website (portofskagit.com), and they advise to exercise caution on the south end of the channel. When running during low tides at the south end, it is advised to favor the east side of the channel, along a rock wall breakwater. The western two-thirds of the southern end is reportedly very shallow from sediments deposited by the Skagit River. Slack water occurs two and a half to four hours after high or low tide. The current flows north from two and a half to four hours before and after the highest tide. Conversely, the current flows south two and a half to four hours before and after the lowest tide. The most likely moorage option is the publicly operated La Conner Marina (see details below). Dockside moorage along the Channel Passage walkway is available on a first come, first served basis, and more details are available at the townoflaconner.org.

Waterfront Walk A stroll along Channel Passage, the name of the waterfront path that runs parallel between 1st Street and the Swinomish Channel, is the quintessential dose of La Conner. A clear, sunny day invites boats to play, and the parade of both commercial and recreational vessels passing under the Rainbow Bridge to the south invokes Richard Scarry’s Busytown. Sailboats drift idle from floating docks and couples enjoy meals al fresco at this pint-sized Venice of the Pacific Northwest. John Wayne’s iconic 76-foot yacht Norwester has been renovated and turned into a museum along the causeway to add some Hollywood flair. The cedar pavilions, built to resemble the traditional cedar hats of the Swinomish Tribe, sit just across the channel on reservation land. The whole experience is rather dreamlike, especially on a warm spring day.

Art, Crafts, and Mandles La Conner is positively loaded with art galleries and quirky, crafty shops. After all, the town is a genuine artist community, and if you’re in search of paintings for the house or jewelry for the spouse, a walk down 1st Street is a good place to get started. For visitors looking for fun, less serious souvenirs, 1st Street is also a good place to explore. The Reclamation Candle Company notably was selling “Mandles - Man Candles” for those who just love the smell of Bacon, Pipe Tobacco, or Monkey Farts (something with bananas, we presume?). Regardless, whether you’re looking for fine art or fun sundries, La Conner is a Mecca.

Vintage Flair One lovely aspect of La Conner is that the community embraces its identity, which is visible throughout town with locallythemed museums and historical markers. There are not many places that have both a Volunteer Fire Fighter Museum and Quilt & Textile Museum (the latter housed within the historic Gaches Mansion, no less) just a short walk from each other. The Museum of Northwest Art, MoNA, and the Skagit County Historical Museum are also highlights for those interested in history and art. Registered historic markers abound, like the meat market square that is now a relaxing space complete with Buddha garden. Vintage shops, while not strictly historically relevant, strike home the theme. Decades past seem to come alive in unexpected places.

Seasonal Flavors It’s wise to keep the season in mind when one plans a visit to La Conner, for the time of year inexorably influences the experience. For example, the silent nights of winter are spruced up with lighted ship parades and winter festivities. Add in the many localingredients establishments like Seeds Bistro and Bar, and the season becomes the literal flavor of the visit. I’ll always think of La Conner as a springtime destination, complete with the locally grown flowers of April’s Tulip Parade and Daffodil Festival celebrations. If one can somehow get out into the country a bit, thousands of migrating Trumpeter Swans and snow geese in the winter and spring offer a world-class slice of nature.

The visiting boater may instinctively stay on and near the waterfront, but Morris Street, which runs perpendicular to 1st Street, retains much of that waterfront charm. If one starts from 1st Street and hangs a right onto Morris Street, Nasty Jack’s Antiques, the large historic-looking building with giant bald eagle, is a fun detour. The Pioneer Market and the La Conner Drug Store are further up the road and could be useful for the visiting cruiser in need of resupply. Coffee shops, a library, and more can be found on Morris Street for the curious.

ASPEN POWER CATAMARANS “ Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.” —Winston Churchill

M LARRY GRAF A lifelong Washington resident, Larry Graf, founder and chief designer of Aspen Power Catamarans, is also an engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur with 27 patents pending. In college, he was the student director of the Viking Car Program at Western Washington University where the students built cars in 1980 that could go 85 to 100 miles per gallon. He founded the Glacier Bay power catamaran company in 1987 and ran it until 2007. His designs had production runs of over 3,000 and he managed 250 employees at the company’s peak. After leaving Glacier Bay in 2007, he founded Aspen Power Catamarans in 2008, the culmination of his years of experience and passion.

odern power catamaran and trimaran designs are creeping into many maritime applications from eco-tourism to the Zumwalt-class destroyers of the U.S. Navy. These new power multihulls are considered cutting edge by many in these fields, but why? If they are so great, where are the fleets of recreational power catamarans poking around the San Juans during the summer? To sate our curiosity, we turned to Larry Graf, the founder, chief designer, and “lead adventurer” of Aspen Power Catamarans, a Burlington, Washington based boat building company. Aspen Power Catamarans has begun to make a name for itself with patented, ultra-modern power catamaran designs. The company, in cooperation with a proud Aspen owner, is even taking a 40-foot Aspen on an adventure /pilgrimage from Alaska to the Annapolis Boat Show (via the West Coast, short Mexican trailer hop, and up the East Coast) this year to strut their flagship design. We toured Graf’s bustling factory before settling into the conference room to shoptalk multihulls. Q: Is there anything you’d like to say to the monohull crowd? My theory is that an awful lot of new boat buyers, maybe as much as 80% of them, have always dreamed about buying a pointy

bow boat (monohull). But I’ll tell you, we tend to sell interested buyers a boat after we get a chance to get them on the water. Our roll stability is 78% more than a monohull, our fuel eﬃciency is on the order of 50-70% more eﬃcient, and the motor is out behind the bulkhead so it’s super quiet, and Aspens are great in heavy seas. Q: What are the different types of catamaran hulls? All catamarans are definitely not created equal, and there are big differences in terms of performance. Essentially, there are three shapes; planing hulls, planing hulls with rounded bottoms, and high speed displacement hulls. The first catamaran hulls in the Pacific Northwest were Livingston-type planing catamarans. The design features a fairly flat hull bottom at the stern, and as one moves forward, the hull shape gets a little more v-shape to it. This planing hull isn’t much different than what they’re doing in Australia these days. A lot of the cats in Australia are planing hulls, and as one moves forward, the hull shape gets sharper and sharper (i.e. greater deadrise angle) until the bow. They run and track ok and come up on a plane no problem, but you have flat surfaces on a planing hull which by definition means you’re at the mercy of the shape of the ocean surface. So when I hit a wave, what has to happen? I either bang over it or turn it into spray. The round-shape planing design, used by companies like World Cat, is another family. Instead of a flat-hull bottom, it’s a round shape, even at the tran-

som. They are basically trying to plane on a round surface. In some ways it’s ok, because it does give a little more cushion as you run through waves, but it doesn’t have any tracking to it. In large seas, sometimes those round shapes slip out. I don’t care for that feeling when the boat suddenly goes sideways on me. Then you have the high-speed displacement hulls. The Glacier Bay shape was modified so, as one moved forward along the hull from the stern, the shape got finer and deeper much quicker before coming up again, almost like a lobster boat shape. There was 55-degree deadrise forward, very “v.” That hull slices through the water and has big chines on it; 20% of the lateral stability at speed came from the lateral chines. The trick for displacement boats is to not have the boat plane for the sake of rough seas. Once you’re planing, you have to pound, and I don’t like pounding. The Aspen power proa shape is basically a full displacement design. Q: All this complexity may come as a surprise to the uninitiated. There are a ton of features to catamarans, and especially my Aspen designs. An important physics concept to remember is buoyancy. With our 40-footer, for every inch the boat is pushed deeper into the water beyond the resting waterline, it gains about 2,700 pounds of buoyancy per inch. The tunnel section has about 22 inches of clearance toward the stern, so if the boat is pushed 10 inches downward into the water, the resulting force translates to 27,000 pounds of buoyancy.

Here’s the key, the boat only weighs 24,000 pounds. See what I’m getting at? Thanks to buoyant forces, the boat naturally bobs through the waves as a full displacement boat. The driver never gets that slap feeling like with a planning design. Aspen hull designs always get travel beyond buoyancy that allows the boat to bob through seas. There’s a lot of thinking that goes into how that tunnel section is laid out. Another thing about an Aspen hull is the height of the tunnel vs. the width of the tunnel. There are a fair number of catamarans out there that don’t understand the importance of the ratio. Some think, “I’ll just spread it out and get a whole bunch more interior space.” The problem is that if you have the ratio of the tunnel height vs. tunnel width wrong, one hull drops into one wave and the other hull drops into another wave during rough seas. The bridge deck in-between slams. With Aspen, there are a number of details on the tunnel section of the hull. The inner chine grows quite a bit. If you are going into a head sea and you want to bob, there’s quite a bit of lift there because the inner chine is about three times the size of the outer chine, which allows the boat to lift very well. There are also some features in the top of the tunnel as the vertical wall rolls into the tunnel. There is a step there that breaks off the water and creates a bubble water zone that helps with the cushioning at different speeds. There’s also a large asymmetrical wave breaker down the center of the tunnel that helps a bit in a tight chop. The wavebreaker also stiffens up the hull and gives us a wonderful place to run wires and cables to the dash. Also, the propeller shaft is inside a big keel. Additionally, my rudder is 50% bigger than the design books tell you to do. I wanted a boat that that tracks well in heavy seas. In general, I think almost all catamarans are about 20-30% more fuel efficient than a comparable monohull of similar LOA. The catamaran simply has a finer shape to slide through the water, and you can see that in action if you witness the wake that comes off a multihull. On any boat, if you’re making gentle, soft-shaped

waves, then the fuel bill will be less. If you look at some of these boats that, when underway, their bows are just covered in spray and the wake has this tight, curling, whitewater wave, that boat is going to use up a lot more fuel than an Aspen. If you look at an Aspen while underway, there’s no bow wake at all. All you see is a little rooster tail, and you can’t even see any wake at all from 1,000 feet away. All that energy that a boat puts into the wake represents wasted energy that wasn’t expended to propel the boat forward; it’s wasted energy that is used to push water out of the way instead. With our catamarans, we perform at 50-70% more fuel efficiency than comparable monohulls. It’s a very slippery hull shape; the proa side of the hull is almost free to go through the water. Above the water, the windows and everything are designed to be very aerodynamic. For example, our 28-footer with a single 150-horsepower engine at 16 knots only uses five gallons an hour. On the Aspen 32, picture it, a 32-foot boat with a 10-foot beam and king-sized master stateroom, dinette for four, and standing head with shower. That 32 uses six gallons an hour at 18 knots. A ski boat uses about 12-15 gallons an hour, and we’re using six with a 32-footer. Our 40-footer is 23,000 to 24,000 pounds depending on fuel and water on board, complete with a big flybridge, 14-foot beam, three staterooms, two heads, two

showers, dinette for six, etc. According to one of our owners who was fully loaded with fuel, water, and adventure gear for a summer of cruising, he averaged 17 knots at 11 gallons an hour. In our magazine testing, if you carry half the fuel and half the water, it’s only 10 gallons an hour. That’s 1.7 miles per gallon, which is competitive with any other powerboat design in the world. Q: I suppose you need less engine, which means less weight, which means less fuel needed. Exactly! The single engine on the Aspen 40-footer is a Volvo 435. To run a diesel engine at 100 horsepower requires ﬁve gallons an hour. So if we’re using 10 gallons an hour at 17 knots, the inference is that it’s about 200 horsepower

coming out of the motor to push the boat at 17 knots. That’s 200 horsepower to go 17 knots with this 40-foot boat. And again, the motor is at less than half throttle, because it’s 435-horsepower at full throttle. The motor should last forever at that speed. The same follows with the 32s. There it is only using about 94 horsepower to do 17 knots, and the motor is a 220 horsepower motor. The motors are very lightly driven, which has all kinds of beneﬁts with regards to longevity and maintenance. Q: Let’s move above the waterline. The master suite on the 40-foot Aspen we saw today is huge, and even has a king-size bed. Yes, every Aspen, even our 28, has a king-size bed. I like it because it’s comfortable.

LETTERS

Tacoma Gem

Quease Conquerers Dear Northwest Yachting, Thanks for the article tackling something (i.e. seasickness, How Mariners Conquer the Quease article of the March, 2017 issue) that can ruin one of the best days of someone's life out on the water and can have big safety implications. Hearing someone say, "I'm going to die!" is one indication. It's a pretty miserable feeling. Two approaches for readers to consider. Some say foam earplugs help. I bought a pair of the Boarding ARINE W M RS HO Ring glasses, French, that provide a forward Conquer THE QUEASE and side eye artificial horizon. Some describe them as a "visible internal ear." I haven't yet been in a situation where someone needed them. Do any readers have reports? Supposedly, they can help right away. Also, some crews have said the electronic bracelet helped them. A very experienced SE Alaska troller, normally fishing by himself where it can be really nasty, said that after he has barfed, lemon juice really helps; something about replacing the acid in the stomach. I met a guy, Ivo, on Moorea in 1971. He had left San Francisco in a 17-foot sailboat, gone to Hawaii, onto the Marquesas, and back to the Society Islands. He said that when he left, he was horribly seasick for four days but never got seasick again. Most probably don't want to try this one. My brother later met him in the Azores, both crossing the Atlantic, and he had built a 28-foot catamaran. I'm wondering if any of your readers have any idea where Ivo has ended up. I've been seasick once, on the Bering Sea. All three of my crew were wiped out, two in their bunk, a retired Navy Commander on the cabin floor. We had good fish on, and blowing 50, difficult seas, in the fog. I was the BY

only one left to pick. At one point I sat down and said to my body, "Please recharge!" Nothing happened, so I had to keep picking - on empty! 7,000 pounds of sockeye that day! I love your magazine. Bruce Hedrick's ﬁrst job in the marine industry was working with me. Seems like just the other day. I opened Sailboats Northwest in 1966 and we had a great time helping 3,500 families launch on the Salish Sea, and in some far- ﬂung places. -Awakening Liberating Alliances, Dan Seasickness is a feeling all too familiar to the regular seafarer. The onset of nausea, fatigue, lack of appetite, vomiting, and dehydration can be predetermined facts – “I will get seasick if I go on a boat” – or a case-by-case situation. Some say that they only get sick when the conditions are somewhere in between a calm sea and terrible weather. Rough weather itself can induce seasickness. In fact, the idiom “under the weather” may have nautical origins, referring to those who become seasick during rough conditions and have gone below deck “under the weather bow”, the weather bow being the side of the ship that is getting the full brunt of the stormy weather. Others will only be sick for the first few hours, perhaps first few days, and then be totally fine. Some say it’s all psychosomatic. Seasickness is simultaneously universal and extremely personal all at once. I am well acquainted with seasickness. Being a marine biology major, I have had many experiences out on boats, both big and very small, in both rough and calm seas. Many friends, colleagues, and acquaintances that spend time regularly out at sea admit to getting seasick. Heck, even commercial fishermen that I have met admit to being seasick at least once in their lives. Just about anyone who has experienced seasickness is immediately sympathetic. There is something forlorn and truly miserable about this state of malaise, with such an utterly simple solution: land. The most frustrating aspect of seasickness (to me) is that it is not caused by a pathogen or an injury. Seasickness simply reveals an Achilles heel in our otherwise incredible physiology – and hey, there had to be a flaw somewhere. Why does your body commit an act of such savage self-sabotage? To truly understand seasickness, let’s dive into greater detail as to how our brain operates and perceives its surroundings. Seasickness is caused by a lack of communication between three major senses your body uses to interpret and understand the world and your physical place in it: your vision, your vestibular system (your inner ear, which maintains your balance), and proprioception. Proprioception is considered the sense of knowing where you are, and is almost a sixth sense that you probably didn’t know you possessed. I don’t mean where you are on a map,

but where you – or more accurately, parts of you – are. Imagine you’re in a sensory deprivation tank where everything is dark and you are floating in water. I bet you could touch your toes, no problem, even without seeing them, even without them touching anything else, because of proprioception. I’m sure you were hoping for something a little more exciting than that for a sixth sense – detecting magnetic fields, seeing dead people, etc. – but proprioception is important, and our lives would be incredibly difficult to navigate without it. Imagine you lost this sixth sense. If you have ever had a few too many drinks, you begin to lose your proprioception, which is the basis of field sobriety tests that police officers use to confirm whether you are intoxicated. Dr. Oliver Sacks, the late, well-known neurologist and author, described a case of a woman who had lost her proprioception in his essay The Disembodied

There’s no need to feel bad about getting seasick. You’re hardly the first, and at least you don’t have to take orders from Captain Ahab.

Thank you for the letter and Northwest Yachting support, Dan! To your points about seasickness, there are certainly many creative solutions and we’re always keen to hear user reports. To the frustration of the scientific method, it is probably impossible to replicate a consistent seasickness experience for the sake of testing products and pinpointing a magic-bullet cure that works for everyone in every situation. As far as we’re concerned, the more options for people to experiment with, the better. Additionally, your stories of fishing through seasickness strike home for our managing editor. When Norris was a deckhand aboard a two-man commercial albacore tuna troller out of Westport, Washington, he took the “Ivo approach” and bit the bullet for half a week of seasick ridden misery in the rough conditions of the North Pacific autumn. His solution when seasick? Work the lines harder and take the days five minutes at a time. Afterward, he could take anything and never got seasick again. Probably not the ideal solution for someone heading out for a day of whale watching! —Ed. MARCH 2017 || NORTHWEST YACHTING 71

Dear Norris, It’s always great to see a nice article (Ports of Call, March 2017) on my home town, Tacoma's waterfront. You did a good job describing the many things to see and do there. I was sad to see however that one of the gems of the Thea Foss Waterway, especially for mariners, The Foss Waterway Seaport was left out. This beautifully converted warehouse is home to a wonderful museum with an eclectic collec- Foss Waterway tion of small wa- Seaport tercraft, a small boat shop, working waterfront exhibits, a whale skeleton, and all manner of maritime items from the region. The Seaport also hosts talks, concerts, and youth education classes. I am sure readers would also like to know that there is a long stretch of floats adjacent to the Seaport building for public overnight moorage. Cheers, -Joe Petrich It was our pleasure to visit Tacoma for a Ports of Call article, Joe! A lot of exciting developments are popping up in Tacoma to the benefit of everyone, boaters included. You should be proud! As far as the Seaport is concerned, we did include it as part of item #2, “Seaside Education.” The Foss Waterway Seaport is a wonderful organization that deserves all the exposure it can get. Their floating docks make it extra enticing for visiting boaters! —Ed.

Pets on Boats

Pictured here is Boone, a male yellow lab who loves to cruise Puget Sound with his human pals Brian and Nicci. Boone is always up for an adventure aboard the family motoryacht Sukai, a 1987 44-foot Bestway usually based near Lake Union in Seattle. His paws dragging in the water from the dinghy on sunny days draws all kinds of friendly attention from passersby, but Boone doesn’t get what all the fuss is about. A dog has to keep his paws nice and cool, you know? The idea behind Pets on Boats is simple: Take a cute or funny photo of your pet aboard your favorite boat, scribble down a funny photo caption, and send it to us with a bio of the pet at editorial@nwyachting.com. We collect images with captions and our staff selects the best submission. Each monthly winners will have the honor of seeing their pet photo and caption run in an upcoming issue of the magazine, and will also receive a Northwest Yachting care package.

ASPEN POWER CATAMARANS

ASK THE EXPERTS Continued from Page 91

are no triangular v-berth shapes monohull guys are forced to deal with. Q: What are some design features that one should stay away from when looking at a multihull form? Always think about the tunnel height vs. tunnel width ratio. The most common power catamaran design flaw is when the height of the tunnel is, for example, one foot and the width of the tunnel is five feet. A one-to-five ratio will guarantee a boat that will get the tunnel section banged in about 12 inches of chop. You need travel; think about the hull shape as a suspension system kind of like a dirt bike. A dirt bike has a real long travel suspension, right? In my view, the monohull and a lot of the other catamarans

have a suspension kind of like a skateboard, basically none. My boats are two and a half to one, height of the tunnel vs. the width of the tunnel. Q: What are some trends you see as you look forward into the future? Aspen right now is a lot like Glacier Bay in year 2005 or 2006. It takes a period of time with a new idea to get enough snow together to create that snowball and get it going. We had around 70% growth last year and Aspen is at that stage where the snowball is starting to roll down the hill and gathering energy. As far as the industry in general, there’s a lot of creativity, and more options than there were even three years ago for a customer.

Aspen Power Catamarans is an American boat building company that, at the time of this writing, has over 30 employees. The company started in 2008 just in time for the market crash and partnered with Nordic Tugs to get production space for their first builds. Success begot success, and Aspen opened its own factory and creation space in Burlington, Washington in 2016. The 28- to 40-foot ultra-modern designs use the company’s patented power proa hull form, designed by Larry Graf, who started with daydreams and a yellow notepad for sketching.

Is your yacht insurance really just a commodity? Red Shield Insurance Company, locally owned and managed, has set a course to design and build yacht coverage for the northwest boater. If your insurance company lives on the east coast - should you? Conventional wisdom says all yacht insurance is the same. REALLY? Here at Red Shield, we can be picky about who we insure. You should be picky about who insures you.
