THE BIG SWITCH

t seems like we’ve been sailors forever. We began sailing in college and shortly after we married (37 years ago!) we bought our first sailboat. Thirty years and 5 sailboats later we were sailing a 48’ semi-custom beauty, but thought we might be ready for a change. A few years earlier, we had tied up alongside a Selene 43 trawler. I admit that when we went to look at trawlers we were afraid sailing friends might see us but it immediately felt right. Selenes are efficient boats that are built with the quality of our sailboat,

with well-found systems and high levels of craftsmanship, boats that we can trust in an open ocean or inland waters. What we have found since going “to the other side” has amazed us. We see a lot more of the Pacific Northwest’s spectacular scenery and wildlife than we ever did before. Having visibility from the flybridge, from the comfort of the pilothouse or salon translates into more whale and bear sightings. It is easier to make long passages and at the end of the day we arrive rested and not tired from being tossed about.

Our friends and family enjoy SaltHeart as much as we do. There is one consistent message we hear from everyone we have aboard: “It’s the trip of a lifetime!” The bottom line is that we have no regrets. We still have sailing friends, but our days of pushing an aluminum stick upwind are over. With the Selene we can cruise in comfort in all seasons. When we looked at other trawlers and powerboats we never found one that offered everything we found in our Selene. SaltHeart is our ship of a lifetime for our trip of a lifetime.

The wreck of the iconic Peter Iredale under a starry Oregon night graces the cover of this month's issue. The four-masted steel barque ran aground on Clatsop Spit on October 25, 1906. Fortunately, none of the 27 crew or two stowaways were lost in the incident.

GETTING READY TO ROLL IN THE R2AK

Team Wright Yachts (our managing editor included) is preparing overtime for the upcoming Race to Alaska (R2AK). The journey to the starting line has already spanned the Pacific!

Bellingham, Washington B-ham, a springboard to watery fun and gateway to the Cascade Mountains, is a perfect spring boating destination.

FROM THE HELM

Yachting: An Expression of Humanity

My new passport has gotten a lot of use over the last few months, most recently with my visits abroad to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I get a special kind of rush breaking in my pocketsized proof of citizenship, and Norris Comer the stamp from Mexico a few months ago is now joined with a shiny Vietnam visa and genuine ink from the Taipei customs checkpoint. What makes this passport all the more special to me is that every trip documented within has been on-assignment with Northwest Yachting, making each journey an extension of my passion for boating, this industry, and adventuring on the high seas. Just as all the oceans are truly one, so too is the boating community at large. As I toured the Alexander Marine factory in Taiwan with Winnie Huang, vice president of the company, I was struck by the level of hard work and commitment to excellence that goes into the operation. The same hard work and commitment is found here in the Paciﬁc Northwest’s boating industry, even though the two worlds are separated by the Paciﬁc Ocean. I think immediately of the professionals we seek out for their boating wisdom for our monthly Ask the Experts interview. Perhaps our worlds are not separated by the ocean at all, but rather connected by the desire to sail upon its salty hide. Whether I’m hopping aboard a local program for a Center Sound Series race or

gazing out at the junk-rigged sailboats on the Saigon River, I get the same sense of wonder and appreciation. I’m willing to bet that, whatever nationality or background the skipper at the helm may be, he or she gets the same sort of joy and oneness when on the water. I think about the groundbreaking feature within this issue by Native American anthropologist and boat builder Dr. Sven Haakanson Jr. of the University of Washington’s Burke Museum. He has successfully resurrected the angyaat, the traditional open boat of the native peoples of Akhiok, Alaska, and tells an empowering journey to reclaim his culture through boating. How great is that? Every culture I have ever heard of devotes a romantic part of its soul to boats. Maybe Rat from Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows said it best to Mole, "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats… In or out of ’em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." See you all out on the water!

Clippers are Coming! The International Race of Sailing Champs Arrives in Seattle By Evin Moore

Last August, the 2017-2018 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race was launched from the maritime city of Liverpool, England. Twelve teams, each on a Clipper 70 racing yacht, waited at the historic Albert Dock as thousands of spectators walked between them, hoping for a chance to shake hands with the skippers and crew members who would be taking oﬀ soon to circumnavigate the globe. As the start time approached, team members gave their friends and family one last hug and climbed aboard. They guided their yachts out onto the River Mersey and performed a parade of sails for tens of thousands of spectators crowded along the waterfront. The Clippers spread out on the river and stayed behind the tug that represented the starting line of the race. The cannon sounded, and they were oﬀ down the Mersey and out to sea, bows pointed to Punta del Este, Uruguay, in the longest leg of Clipper Race history.

Since then, Clipper teams have sailed to the tip of Africa, round the Cape of Good Hope, and saw the sun-drenched beaches of west Australia. They passed the southern end of Tasmania, sailed up the east coast of Australia, and stopped at the city of Sanya on the tropical island of Hainan, China. It was from Sanya that teams launched in early March, headed to Qingdao, China to begin the fifth leg of the global voyage. Situated on the Shandong peninsula, Qingdao is known as China’s “Sailing City” and where the sailing events of the 2008 Beijing Olympics took place. For over ten days, Clippers battled it out, until at 1600 hours local time on March 15, the Seattle-sponsored Visit Seattle crossed the finish line and secured a first-place win. Visit Seattle is under the command of the youngest skipper in the race, 24-year-old Nikki Henderson of Britain. The win on March 15 is their third podium placing and second victory.

This reﬂects the hard work and determination and grit displayed by everyone on this boat ... we can’t hide our elation. —Nikki Henderson, on Visit Seattle's 2nd Clipper win 16 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

In a statement about Visit Seattle’s second win, skipper Nikki Henderson said, "This reflects the hard work and determination and grit displayed by everyone on this boat - naturally a lot of luck and whilst we do feel for [fellow competitor] PSP Logistics, we can’t hide our elation." As the rest of the teams arrive, they received a warm welcome and a much-needed break. Leg 6 of the global race will begin on March 23 as Clippers depart Qingdao. As the boats are rocked by waves, their crews will face the fact that they are crossing the largest ocean on Earth and beginning what will most likely be the hardest leg of the race. Once they leave the coast of China, the teams will have to avoid fog and fishing boats as they sail past the southern tip of Japan, where they can catch the “Black Stream,” the Kuroshio Current, to accelerate their speed. The Pacific leg is famous for its rolling waves and enormous empty expanses. The Pacific is so vast and empty that there will be times when the closest people to the Clipper teams will be the crew of the International Space Station. The leg is a total of 5,530 nautical miles, and once the teams have crossed the International Date Line, they can be confident that they are halfway through the leg and well on their way to Seattle. Weather conditions and racing skill will determine exactly when the Clipper Continued on Page 18

teams arrive, but expect the fleet to cross the Leg 6 finish line in Bell Harbor sometime between April 14 and April 19. Exhausted and relieved, the crews of the Clippers will get a few days rest on dry land and sailing fans will have a chance to get a look at the Clipper 70s up-close. The fleet will be on display at Bell Harbor Marina on April 21-22 from 10:00 am to 21:00 and on April 24-27 from 10:00 am to 21:00. Come down and get a good look at the yachts; the largest yachts ever used in the race. The Clipper 70 features twin helms, twin rudders, and a six-foot bowsprit. The bowsprit allows three asymmetrical spinnakers and a suite of Yankee headsails, together making the 70 faster than its predecessor, even with a slightly higher displacement.

The interior offers a stripped-down design with minimal space for crew members—24 bunks, two heads, and a simple galley take up most of the yacht. Of course, a state-ofthe-art navigation center and communication center is nestled onboard. After you see the Clippers, meet the skippers and crews that sailed them across the Pacific. Visit Seattle has two Seattle locals serving as crew; Marek Omilian, a management consultant and Dell Ambassador, and nurse Shannon Dean. Be sure to congratulate them on their wins and welcome them back home. Stop by the Washington Athletic Club on Friday, April 27 (0730 to 0900 hours), to hear a talk given by one of the Clipper crew members. This event is great for anyone who wants to learn more about the Clipper race from one who has done it. You’ll hear exactly what Mother Nature can throw at you and learn what it takes to make a trip around the world. This talk will cover the selection process, mandatory training regiment, the fleet, the race, logistics, and what a day on board looks like. You’ll leave this talk intimidated or inspired. Then, on Sunday, April 29, return to Bell Harbor Marina to watch the departure ceremony and the start of Leg 7 as the Clippers make their way to Panama and eventually back to Liverpool in late July.

A student-built, traditional Nordic Folkboat from the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding (NWSB) took first place in the Cruising Class of Port Townsend Shipwright’s Regatta on February 24. Traditionally built for rough water and heavy weather in the Baltic Sea, the Nordic Folkboat has an extensive history of solo ocean crossings and circumnavigations. Ray Speck, a part-time instructor at the NSWB has been building boats for a little over 45 years. Often called the master of lapstrake construction, the semi-retiree dove back into action headfirst on the Nordic Folkboat project along with full-time instructor Jody Boyle. Speck is a fan of the boat’s craftsmanship, and Boyle of its ability to handle tricky conditions. Its heavy keel makes for uncanny stability even in 30-knot winds in full sail. The racing crew of Boyle, Sean Koomen, Boat School facilities manager Steve Standon, and Northwest Sails and Canvas owner Sean Rankins sailed the 25’ lapstrake boat across the finish line through gusty winds, hail, and short bursts of sun – a successful day on the water for a crew who had never sailed together before. The reliable wooden masterpiece is now up for sale at the NWSB.

Remembering Jim Irwin By Eva Seelye

Jim Irwin, seen with his wife, Cherry.

Jim Irwin, a highly inﬂuential member of our boating community, passed away on February 27, 2018. Irwin, who helped train some of the industry's current leaders, ushered in both the ﬁberglass era of boating and the Taiwanese revolution, and most importantly, contributed to the growth of the marine industry, even in lean times. His life is remembered by his fellow brokers at his family business Irwin Yacht Sales; the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association (NYBA), that he helped found, the Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA) where he was

once president; and many other communities far and wide. His unyielding dedication to the yachting community began at a young age. Since starting his Portland marine business in 1963, he continued his boat sales profession as a dealer for some of the most well-known brands such as Ocean Alexander, Tollycraft, Sea Ray, Carver, and Wellcraft, becoming one of the longest-running yacht brokers in the United States. Irwin took over management of Irwin Marine following the passing of his father in 1966. His quick wit, sense of humor, honesty, and compassion survive him; his pranks brought a smile to everyone’s faces. Friends and family gathered together on March 14 to celebrate the life of Jim Irwin at Seattle Yacht Club; attendees shared their happy memories of Jim.

of their kind afloat anywhere in the world. Howie Robins, Reef Society President, remarks “These wartime relics are already floating artificial reefs based on the generations of biodiversity on their hulls. When fully submerged, these ships will form a pinnacle oasis for marine flora and fauna settlement with scale and habitat complexity.” The other U.S. ships to follow suit are Emile N. Vidal, Quartz, and the S.S. Peralta (the oldest, launched in 1921). Marine life habitats are deteriorating at an alarming rate globally, impacted by development and tourism, accidental oil spills, and weather. The ARSBC creates sustainable artificial reefs around the world for the enhancement and protection of sensitive marine habitats, while also providing scuba divers with interesting recreational destinations. These artificial reefs provide food, shelter, and spawning areas for a variety of life. The ARSBC has sunk more vessels and aircrafts than any other non-profit group in the world. The YOGN-82 will be the ninth ship the organization has sunk off B.C.’s west coast since 1991, the last being the former Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Annapolis in Halkett Bay off B.C.’s Gambier Island. ARSBC’s project partner, Catalyst Paper Corporation manufactures diverse printing papers for retailers, publishers, and commercial printers across the globe. The four ships—up to 420’ long and weighing between 4,000 and 8,000 tons—are to be placed at variable depths in a group formation ranging from 80’ to 115’ for divers of all skill levels. Divers will be able to swim to each wreck relatively easily for a historic underwater tour. The first of these colossal concrete vessels to be sunk, the YOGN82, is a U.S. Navy gasoline barge and one of 22 unpowered B7 A2 gasoline barges built by Concrete Ship Constructors in National City, CA. The “YO” stands for “Yard Oiler,” the “G” for “Gasoline” and the “N” signifies the vessels lack of engines. She’s roughly 367’ long and weighs a little less than 5,000 tons — sure to create one massive and attractive reef for visitors and marine life alike!

Pour one part peach into a chilled flute glass, then add two parts Prosecco. Stir gently and add the optional splash of raspberry or cherry juice. Make single servings or a whole pitcher!

The iconic USS Turner Joy is a permanent fixture at the Bremerton Marina as a venue and musem.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year By Norris Comer

Spring means Trawlerfest comes to the Pacific Northwest, specifically to the venerable event’s Bremerton, Washington location on May 1 to 5. The series of boat shows, organized by Passagemaker magazine, has been a mainstay on boating calendars for decades. One part trade show, another part educational seminar extravaganza, and third part rendezvous, Trawlerfest 2018 features a packed lineup of exhibitors and organized offerings with the Pacific Northwest iteration being no exception. The in-water show is hosted in the Bremerton Marina, and the seminars are held at the Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton

Harborside right up the road. The action begins on May 1 and 2 (Tuesday and Wednesday) with the high-quality seminar and boating education intensives. These seminars range from “Everything You Need to Know About Diesel Engines” with Mike Beemer and Matt Mardesich, a two-full-day marathon of knowledge from 08:30 o 17:00 hours both days, to more bite-sized talks like “Medical Preparedness and First Aid for Boaters” with Dr. Jim Chimiak of DAN Medical Services (0830 to 1200 hours on May 1). The seminars are individually priced, but if you plan to attend multiple seminars, the VIP Packages are by far the most cost-eﬀective option.

Washington Penalties for Inaccurate AIS Bans Atlantic Salmon Farming By Evin Moore

By Evin Moore

Lawmakers from the Washington State Senate passed House Bill 2957, which bans Atlantic salmon net-pen farming in Washington by the year 2025. The bill was passed 31-16 after a long fight on the Senate floor. Opponents of the bill attached amendments in an effort to send it back to the House for further review and delay the vote. Ultimately this strategy was unsuccessful, with proponents of the ban pushing the bill through. The practice of farming Atlantic salmon in the Pacific Northwest is controversial, and the ban no less so. The main sponsor of the bill was State Senator Kevin Ranker-D, who believes the ban will protect native salmon species, while opponents of the ban say that it will destroy local jobs and that Atlantic salmon do not pose a threat to native species. The ban comes after a net-pen run by Cooke Aquaculture Pacific collapsed in August 2017, releasing 250,000 non-native salmon species. Cooke Aquaculture Pacific was the main opponent of the bill. State Senator Mark Schoeslar-R stated that he thought it was wrong for the state to pass a ban that would cost jobs; Cooke Aquaculture Pacific employs 600 people in the state. Members of the scientific community had differing opinions on the ban; some thought that it was the right choice, while some former NOAA scientists wrote an open letter outlining their objections and urging the ban not to be passed. Cooke has stated that they plan to sue the State of Washington for $76 million under the North American Free Trade Agreement to recover their investment.

The U.S. Coast Guard has determined that correct Automoatic Identification System information is crucial and that the broadcast of incorrect AIS data is a navigation hazard that could lead to accidents, the likelihood of which increases as waters become more crowded. To protect vessels, the Coast Guard is stepping up enforcement.

In order to help comply with AIS requirements, NAVCEN operates the Vessel Information Verification Service (VIVS) at navcen.uscg.gov/vivs. VIVS is a self-help web app boaters can use to validate their AIS information. The Coast Guard suggests you check your AIS settings before getting on the water. To see current AIS discrepancies, go to

navcen.uscg.gov/aisSearch/ and enter your vessel’s information. If any discrepancies are detected, you will receive a letter from the U.S. Coast Guard and possible civil penalties. If you receive one of these letters and update your AIS, be sure to contact the Coast Guard and alert them.

Bob

2012 Outremer 49 $725,000

Bob is a fun boat to sail. I spent hours at the helm, surfing down waves, during a thirteen-day Gran Canaria to St. Lucia Atlantic crossing in 2012. Narrow hulls, carbon mast, long bows, and powerful sail plan place this Outremer 49 squarely in the performance cruising category. During a recent five-day Curacao to Fort Lauderdale trip on Bob our crew of five marveled at the comfort of the spacious cockpit, salon, galley, heads, and staterooms. We ate well, slept well, stayed dry, showered, and really enjoyed the sailing. Fast, safe and comfortable ocean passages are the norm on an Outremer 49. Bob is fully kitted for worldwide sailing with huge solar array, wind generator, watermaker, four electric winches, and solid bimini. New tramps, mainsail, engines, and upholstery make Bob ready to go now! – p e t e m cg o n ag l e price reduced

New Interactive Boating Safety Course By Eva Seelye

Say goodbye to old-school videos and textbooks; a new interactive boating course is expected to attract and engage more students than ever before. Boating education isn’t necessarily the most exciting aspect of a boater’s life, but with ilearntoboat.com’s learning alternative, we can wave goodbye to the static material we’ve endured in the past and instead sail oﬀ into the sunset with our new gameacquired boating certiﬁcate.

32 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

This groundbreaking course is the ﬁrst to be approved by state and regulatory agencies and is sure to put a new slant on education in the boating industry. According to Edward Cosette, VP of E-Learning, “over half of the students who sign up for an online course never complete it.” The hope for ilearntoboat.com’s course is to engage learners and simplify the learning process, to foster longterm retention, and to appeal to more students than ever before.

The game opens to the sound of squawking seagulls over the soothing sound of waves before we meet four comic-inspired buddies of varying boating experiences who embark on a nautical adventure together. The student learner explores, searches, and investigates to solve the game’s mystery, learning legal requirements and safe boating practices along the way. Learn cast off and docking, traffic laws of the water, state-specific rules and regula-

tions, emergency procedures, and more at your own pace. Click through dialogue windows with varied questions and answers that spike your personal interests, collect “achievements,” and complete “learning activities” to level-up. On average, the game takes a few hours to complete and your earned certiﬁcate is valid until the end of the calendar year in which the course was completed. This interactive course is designed in conjunction with boating and safety agencies responsible for boating education in the U.S. and can be taken on any desktop or mobile device. After the course receives approval by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA), it will be open to the public. Parent company of ilearntoboat.com, Kalkomey Enterprises is an oﬃcial recreational safety education provider for all 50 states and has been making wakes in the industry since 1995 producing print and internet resources for safety certifications.

BC Boat Show Moves to Sidney By Evin Moore

The British Columbia Yacht Brokers Association (BCYBA) has announced that this year’s BCYBA boat will be moving to a new location and changing its name. “We outgrew our space and now we’ve outgrown our name!” they stated in a press release. Formerly called the Victoria Inner Harbor Boat Show, starting this year the show has been renamed the BC Boat Show. The show has moved from their original location, Victoria’s Inner Harbor, to their new location at Port Sidney Marina in Sidney, B.C. The new location offers extra space for vendors, exhibitors, and attendees, plus more parking. With about 200 boats in the water and an average attendance in the thousands, the BC Boat Show is the largest in-the-water boat show on the West Coast. The show is a great opportunity for local brokers to sell to a large audience; all boats are open for perspective buyers to tour. Professional brokers will be standing by to answer questions about boats' histories and features. Out of the water there will be vendors representing every corner of the marine industry; fishing, equipment, clothing, electronics, and boat yard services. Many boat sales will happen right at dock, as many brokers are willing to offer special deals and discounts to get at-the-show sales. Aiming for more of a festival feel this year, the BC Boat Show will have activities, displays, and events at the marina and the surrounding area. The dry-land exhibits will be hosted on a tented barge in the marina,

Letters

We here at Northwest Yachting love hearing from our readers. Below are a few correspondences we’ve received. If you’ve got two cents to share, feel free to send us a snail mail letter to Northwest Yachting Magazine, 7342 15th Ave NW, Seattle, Washington, or an email to editorial@nwyachting.com.

Workin' it on Opening Day

More from Pasco

Hi Friends, Please help! We had no commercial boats in the Opening Day parade last year. We have a few organizations confirmed so far for this year: Northwest Seaport with a 100-year-old halibut schooner, Fremont Tugboat, Western Towboat, and Pacific Fishermen. Who else would like to join? The Seattle Yacht Club’s Opening Day is one of Seattle’s great maritime celebrations traditionally with all the various kinds of vessels that ply our local waters. Some even travel from distant ports and fisheries to be a part of it. There are both commercial and working vessel categories in the parade, but in recent years there have not been any working vessels. Opening Day Vice Admiral Bob Brown and I think it is a great win-win for all in Seattle to have more working and commercial vessels in the parade. I am writing as you may know individuals and companies who might want to participate and can help increase the turnout for this great event. Who else might want to participate and be recognized and publicized as active members of our important maritime community, either with working vessels or with a sign in the commercial vessel class, and enjoy the celebration on Saturday, May 5? —Dan Barr, Seattle Yacht Club

Dear NWY, In the February issue of Northwest Yachting there was a letter from "Mike" about the crane at Lewiston, Idaho that was not in service any longer. By way of an FYI, the city of Pasco is the home of Lampson Crane, one of the world's largest crane manufacturing companies. They hauled my 60' boat out of the water and set it on the hard for bottom painting and maintenance then slung it back in after my work was done. They showed up with the necessary cranes, equipment, spreaders, and manpower to do an excellent job. I would highly recommend them to handle the lift of just about any size boat. —Mike Lauman M/V Beachcomber Pasco, Washington

Ed: Thank you for reaching out, Dan! We ﬁnd your goal to increase the working boat presence in the Opening Day Parade admirable and are extending our feelers. Publishing this letter is a good start, who knows who will pick this up and be inspired to sign up? A posted notice in marinas like Fisherman’s Terminal may be a good move too, especially this time of year before a lot of the working boats head north to chase salmon or west to hunt albacore oﬀshore. We’ll be in touch… see you at the parade.

Marvelous Medusa Dear NWY, I'm writing to you on behalf of Jay Spalding, owner of Medusa, the Santa Cruz 52 pictured on your March 2018 cover. The shot is amazing! We'd like to request (20) copies of the magazine. This would be one for every crew member plus a few extra. As you know, Medusa was first to round the Lightship and second in her class in the 2016 race. We relish in the memories from that great race! Sail on, —Tony Chiesa, USCG Master

MARCH 2018

VOLUME 31, No. 9

Ed: Medusa is indeed a fine racing yacht, and you and Jay Spalding should be proud of your 2016 performance. Now that excellent showing is immortalized in our magazine, and in the photo work of the fantastic Jan Anderson, our cover photog from March (Janpix.smugmug.com). To our readers, if you do notice your boat on the cover, feel free to reach out and we can figure out how to get you copies, cover images for framing, etc. There’s a few hoops to jump through sometimes (postage, photographer’s copyrights, etc.), but we can figure those out together.

Horizon FD87 Skyline The Horizon FD87 Skyline is a brandnew luxury motoryacht model that made its debut early this year and toured a few of the boat shows back East. A close relative of the successful FD85, the FD87 is a modern-styled entertainment platform with both familiar and new features for Horizon owners. Fans of the FD85 will appreciate the deck-level master suite of the FD87, as well as the same number of guest staterooms (four) and crew staterooms (two). Another hallmark of both models is the large salon that spans the yacht’s generous 23’3” beam and features floor-to ceiling windows, making the salon feel even more spacious. However, the FD87 breaks away from its sister ship in a few ways. Instead of a raised pilothouse, the FD87 features a fullyenclosed bridge with access to a Portuguese walkway leading forward to the bow. Once

at the bow, the visitor is greeted by a posh hangout area that includes lounge seating and two tables. Also notable is the optional hot tub on the ﬂybridge, complete with integrated minibar. Twin stairs lead aft from the flybridge to the cover cockpit, and another set of twin stairs leads to the stern swim platform. Not only is the platform large with nice access, thanks to the dual sets of stairs, but the transom opens to what Horizon dubs the “beach club.” The beach club includes a full wet bar with stool seating, padded lounge space, and serviceable galley. These beach-club transoms are becoming more and more popular in the U.S., and yacht aficionados should expect to see more of them in the years ahead. Apart from sumptuous accommodations, the FD87 features a new bow design from the manufacturer, which they call

the “high performance piercing bow.” Although we’ve not gotten a chance to test it out ourselves, the builder points to across the board performance improvements thanks to the design. As far as power is concerned, the yacht is propelled by twin CAT C18A 1136-horsepower inboard diesel engines as standard. A general rule of thumb is that if a yacht can accommodate a hot tub, engine access is not a problem, and the rule holds true with the FD87. The yacht has an estimated maximum speed of 16 knots with a reported cruising range of 1,640 nautical miles at 10 knots. If you’re interested in Horizon’s new FD87 Skyline, you’ll want to get in touch with the local dealer Emerald Pacific Yachts. They can provide you with further information and pricing specs.

Back Cove 41 The flagship of the Back Cove fleet is the 41, a cruising yacht that shouts “Made in Maine” from the lobster boat look to the American cherry wood trim interior. The guts of the 41 include a single diesel engine paired with a straight shaft. Other pragmatic features include thrusters (bow and stern) for easy, close-quarters maneuverability, and energy-efficient heat and air conditioning systems. The shippy exterior should elicit a tinge of pride from even the most landlubber of mariners with the narrow, sleek shape, and long foredeck of a lobster boat.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 New to the Pacific Northwest fleet of available Jeanneau sailboats is the 2019 Sun Odyssey 440, the first of which is currently being built in a French factory and slated to arrive to Seattle soon. The newest iteration of the 440 looks right at home with the Sun Odyssey line of performance Euro-styled cruisers. Initially, we see many of the familiar forms of this class: the eﬃcient plumb bow, open beamy decks, and the dual racing helms, and a large foldable dining table in the cockpit. The bulb keel is that of a racer, while the generous accommodations of the hull itself is full-blooded cruiser. Why not do both? Fancy features include a retractable bow thruster and electrically deployable aft swim platform. Also notable are the dual rudders with Jeﬀa bearings, completely walkaround decks, and skow bow style

full-length chine hull that keeps the bow up when going into the wind. The generous accommodations are especially apparent down below. The interior is simply massive for a boat of this length overall with three cabins, three double berths, and two enclosed heads. The salon is huge with a nav table and galley positioned port plus a family-size

table with cushioned seating to starboard. We’ve just scratched the surface of this impressive, forward-looking yacht. If interested in ﬁrst dibs on the hull currently under construction, or just want to learn more, feel free to reach out to local dealer Marine Servicenter. The 2019 Sun Odyssey 440 is currently listed at $399,999.

Beneteau Swift Trawler 35 The new Beneteau Swift Trawler 35 is the evolution of the popular ST34 that saw over 400 hulls built. There is a lot of boat in this compact, semi-planing motor trawler design that has an emphasis on making the long-haul cruise comfortable. The exterior has many of the features one would expect on a larger yacht, including a spacious covered cockpit aft near the swim step. The transom features a novel folding system and foldable seating that really opens up the aft deckspace. A pair of integreated folding chairs are built into the transom and can be deployed or stowed with ease. A set of similarily deployable stairs leads up to the open ﬂybridge and nav station that can come with a soft Bimini top or hardtop for shelter. These kinds of features are clever ways to maximize space aboard. The interior is quite spacious for a boat this size, with plenty of seating and windows. There’s so many windows in fact

that the manufacturer boasts “360 [degree] view”. There are two proper staterooms, including the forward v-berth with islandstyle bed. A fully enclosed head, complete with walk-in shower, is shared. Another nice feature of the cabin is that the nav station has a door that provides direct access to the starboard walkway to the foredeck outside. As far as performance is concerned, the 35 runs a single Cummins GSB6.71 engine

that can push the boat at a 20-knot maximum speed. The recommended cruising speed is a zippy 15 knots, quite a bit more than the traditional trawler cruising speed of 8 knots or so. If you’re interested in a versatile, modern trawler-style yacht, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 35 may be your boat. The local dealer, Denison Yacht Sales, can provide additional information and pricing.

New & Notable Boats

Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 Evolution Luxury catamarans have a lot going for them, and the new Helia Evolution 44 (a progression from the original Helia 44) is now available in the Paciﬁc Northwest. Aimed to be a comfortable passagemaker, the new 44 features several good improvements over the original design. Notably, the redesigned portholes let in a reportedly 30% more natural light, always a good move to liven up an interior. A new layout version, the Maestro, features a spacious “Owner’s Suite” that has its own en suite head with large shower and generous wardrobe space. One the outside, additional lounge-style seating is incorporated for even more opportunities to relax. The stainless steel davits on deck are also new, and are designed to provide more strength and durability for dinghy stowage. The 44 Evolution is avail-

able in multiple layouts, with three or four beds. These boats are popular for chartering for a reason, with maximum interior space for clients. The hull is fitted with fixed fins rather than daggerboard keels commonly found on catamarans. For those annoyed with the constant adjusting of daggerboards and are worried about colliding into objects, this can

be considered a plus. A slab reeﬁng mainsail and self-furling genoa are standard, and a self-furling gennaker is an option. If you’re on the hunt for a luxury catamaran, for your own use or charter (or both), the Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 Evolution may be the way to go. Feel free to contact the local broker, Signature Yachts for more info and pricing.

Pop It, Lock It, Dock It ShoreMaster’s Infinity Docks / Prices Vary Floating, piling, suspension, pipe–there are so many docks to choose from these days; and when browsing for one of your own, it could be difficult to pinpoint one that meets all your wants and needs. If this debacle resonates with you, then consider checking out ShoreMaster’s Infinity Docks. They’re made to be highly configurable and easy to own. Choose between four of their easily-installed models, each with their own specialty. If you’re looking for something simple, durable, and easy to use, the Infinity RS4 will provide just that with a personal spin. Its highly-configurable design (as with all standing Infinity Docks) allows you to adjust the layout as you see fit. But avoid deep waters and soft bottoms, this is a moderate water depth dock. Not only is the Infinity RS7 one of the most stable and attractive dock systems out there, it’s also the most configurable. Stick to the shallows with this one as well. Choose the standing or wheel-in design.

For more of a classic design, but still maintaining the strength, durability and configuration abilities we look for in a dock, the Infinity RS7 comes out on top. The truss dock design creates a low-maintenance, lightweight dock in a traditional sense, matching your neighbor’s classic dock look. The Floating FTS9 offers the most versatility. Premium strength and durability and ideal for all water conditions, this floating dock features a strong truss frame, allowing a high level of stability while afloat. Take it anywhere you would take a standing or wheel-in dock, and to places those docks can’t quite reach. Muddy and soft lake bottoms don’t require a second thought with the

FTS9. Its floating nature also makes it ideal for deeper waters; again, a niche where the other ShoreMaster docks don’t compete. The Infinity docks’ high level of stability is achieved with ShoreMaster’s 5-Sided Dock Legs® & Pocket; no tools are required to make the height modifications necessary for your location. Everything from an umbrella holder to dock furniture is available online at shoremaster.com to accompany your dock. Using the QuickConnect™ System, accessories can be added to, removed from, or reconfigured to your dock at any time sans tools. The configurations are endless! Check out ShoreMaster (shoremaster.com) for a quote and more information.

Sulfation Salvation Megapulse VEE System / $149.00 Battery degradation causes about 50% of DC electrical system failures and breakdowns. These breakdowns usually occur because of crystalized sulfate deposits that accumulate on the battery. Chemical additives have tried to reverse these effects over the years, and while some positive results often materialize, they’re almost always temporary. Chemicals only soften sulfate deposits, which then fall to the bottom of the battery and build up a nasty sludge that leads to unreliability, safety hazards, and a destroyed battery within just a few months. If you’re looking for a reliable, safe, and productive solution without simply buying a new battery, we’d recommend checking out Megapulse Green Energy. Megapulse’s vehicle electrical enhancement system (VEE system) targets the source of your electrical system’s problem – its battery – and reverses the effects of sulfate buildup rather than attempting a temporary fix. The VEE system’s pulse technology meticulously sends and controls pulses to the battery at 5300 cycles per second in varying amplitudes

The Megapulse is compact and easy to use, simply hook it up to reverse the negative effects of sulfation on your battery. to maximize the desulfation process in the shortest possible time. Rather than a pile of sulfate deposits at the bottom of the battery, the finely-tuned high-frequency pulses not only break down but transform the crystalized lead and sulfate deposits into active materials that produce even more battery power. These combined processes allow the battery to operate at its best, ensuring maximum system voltage and resulting in stable power, which protects the entire electrical system. Your boat’s electronics will get a safety boost and function better.

If you’re just looking for a short-term fix, chemical additives at least lessen the effects of battery degradation, but Megapulse is a reliable and permanent solution to a failing electrical system. It’s great for all land and sea applications and has been tested by SCIRO, Unitech Energy, Volvo, Scania, MAN, Mercedes, Nobina, Solaris, ThermoKing, Bavaria, Bayliss, and more. The Megapulse VEE system works with all battery types. Find out more at megapulse.net/technology. Also available at fisheriessupply.com for $149.

It might be strange to think that your boat could use a life preserver, but there’s great comfort in knowing that your boat is as close to unsinkable as it gets (knock on wood). A foam collar on a boat will keep your craft afloat if you take on water. On top of that, you can’t pop foam, makingNWYachting_Fall2017_Print.pdf it the safest material out 1 there. If you’d like this peace of

Driven Marine Polish / $20.00 Do you remember how shiny your boat looked under the showroom lights? Would you like to get that shine back while adding a layer of protection from the elements and increasing your boat’s lifespan? Of course, you do. If it’s been awhile since you last polished your vessel, you may want to ﬁnd some time and get it ready for the summer season. The gelcoat on a ﬁberglass boat and the paint on a boat protect it from damaging UV radiation and salt water, and they do a good job while they’re fresh. But time will wear away a gelcoat, and cause the protective oils in paint to dry out. Polishing can replenish a boat’s defenses against Mother Nature.

WaterLine

Driven’s Marine Polish works on both ﬁberglass and painted boats, plus acrylic enamel, stainless steel, high-gloss plastic, chrome, polished aluminum, and just about every surface you’ll ﬁnd onboard. The main enemies of a boat’s surface are intense sunlight and marine water, and this polish has got those covered. But you’ll also be safe from oil, intense cold, dock marks, algae, water spots, fish blood, and waterline sludge. If your craft needs a little polish and elbow grease, check out Marine Polish from Driven and roll up your sleeves. Polish starts at $20. Visit driventoperfection.com for more information.

Nauti Padz / $115.00 - 130.00 Rough waters can be a thrilling and adrenaline-ﬁlled experience, but regardless of the excitement, exhaustion is a common side eﬀect. Our legs and knees can’t always keep up with the constant chop of the waves. Rough seas or not, a painful night’s sleep is never in the agenda. After one and a half years of research and development by chemical engineers and manufacturing specialists, the NautiPad was created. Designed for boaters and anglers in need of a little extra cushion comfort during their long and exhausting days (or nights) at the helm, the NautiPad’s highdensity memory polyurethane pads eliminate shocks typically transferred from the boat through

the body in rough conditions. With the help of replaceable pressuresensitive adhesive, your pad stays in place even in rough seas. Choose between two sizes (14” x 36” and 16” x 39”) and 15 unique designs. Colorful fish eyes and scales are popular design selections, adding a little color to your vessel. Or choose a more modest Shadow Gray Pad, Sea Foam Pad, or Sahara Pad. There’s even a few camo versions! All NautiPadz also come with a three-year limited warranty. Small pads are $115 and large pads are just $15 more at $130. To see all their colors, patterns, and graphics, head to their website at nautipadz.com.

Runnin' Clean and Lean Lehr’s Propane Outboard / $1059.99 - 4,295.00 There was a time when an outboard motor left you deaf in one ear and choking on smoke. Those days are over with advances in outboard technology and new fuel sources. While electric outboards are growing in popularity, there is another option for boaters that want the power of a gasoline outboard, with the lighter carbon footprint of an electric: the propane outboard from Lehr. The latest propane outboards from Lehr, (the ﬁrst manufacturer to oﬀer a propane outboard) come in a range of horsepower; 2.5 hp, 5 hp, 9.9 hp, 15 hp, and 25 hp. Propane burns cleaner than gasoline, contains 95%

less carcinogens than gas, and is domestically produced. When propane burns, it releases 1/50 the pollution that gasoline does. The cleaner burning means less internal residue build-up. The fuel comes in a self-contained, easy-to-change, canister; this design lets you customize your fuel needs. Fuel your outboard with something as small as a 16 oz. camping bottle or something as large as a 37 lb. composite tank. The selfcontained design of propane

tanks means you’ll never have to slosh and spill gasoline on your deck ever again, nor will you have to worry about water in your fuel. Propane is pressurized, meaning propane outboards are easier to start than traditional gas models, and they do not require choking the engine. Without gasoline, long-term storage is a piece of cake. There are only a few drawbacks to a propane outboard; the fact that they are relatively new means fuel can be harder to come by than gasoline. The marina may not necessarily have what you need. In that same vein, qualified service and repair can be harder to find, so you’ll need to stay on top of basic maintenance. If you’re in the market for an outboard, and want to try something new, check out the Lehr propane outboard motor. The 2.5 hp model weighs 37 lbs. and starts at $1,059.99, while the 25 hp weighs in at 172 lbs. and starts at $4,295.00. All other models are somewhere in between.

App Spotlight Boater’s Pocket Reference/ $4.99 for iOS

The staggeringly expansive world of boat knowledge used to take a lifetime to learn and master. Thanks to the Boater’s Pocket Reference app, that information is at your fingertips at a moment’s notice! The Boater’s Pocket Reference started out as a printed book by Thomas McEwen, an avid boater, former mining engineer, and member of the Boulder Valley Sail and Power Squadron of Colorado. The app brings the popular book to your iPhone, and the content covers just about everything. The resource is loaded with 800 illustrations and photographs, and plenty of other visuals like charts and graphs. Topics include piloting and navigation, communications, U.S. and Canadian Coast Guard regulations, weather, boat types, seamanship, Marlinespike, mechanical system, electrical systems, over 100 different kinds of boating calculations, boating resources (contact info of organizations, etc.), and much more. If you want to know it all (or at least pretend you do before scrolling through your phone), this app may be for you. The Boater’s Pocket Reference app is $4.99 from the iTunes store, iOS 10 or above compatible.

Whale Alert / Free for iOS & Android

Get My Boat / Free for iOS & Android

Did you know that strikes from boats is one of the biggest causes of whale mortality and a threat? In order to reduce the number of whale collisions, scientists and conservation experts have been collecting information on whale movement patterns, the routes of shipping lanes, and overlapping them to see where a collision is most likely to take place. The hope is that this information could be used to reduce contact between whales and cargo ships. This is how Whale Alert got its start in 2012. The original target audience was the shipping industry, who could take advantage of an app that would provide them with alerts when they entered regulated waters, and messages that would simplify complex regulations. Whale Alert has expanded beyond the shipping industry and now offers a free app for boats of all sizes, inviting mariners to report when and where they see a healthy, distressed, beached, or dead whale and upload the information on the app. This information is used by biologists and conservationists to better understand whale migration patterns and further refine regulations that protect them. If you want to contribute to the conservation of all species of whales, download the Whale Alert app and keep an eye out. Compatible with iOS and Android platforms.

It was only a matter of time before someone tried the Lyft/Uber/Airbnb idea with yachts. With the amount of time most boats sit idle in marinas, and the high cost of maintenance and moorage, renting out a boat seems like a natural idea. The GetMyBoat app was created to give interested owners a place to post listings and interested renters a chance to peruse what’s available. If someone requests to rent a boat, the owner can review the years of experience the renter has, and any relevant certifications before agreeing to the deal. Renters can choose from craft posted by private individuals or by professional charter companies. There are a wide range of crafts available for rent: power boats, kayaks, sailboats, sleep aboards, and houseboats, among others. Charter services use GetMyBoat to offer snorkeling, diving trips, and fishing expeditions. The app has participants in 184 countries and there are currently 90,000 boats available for anywhere between a day and a month or more. If you’re interested in putting your boat up for rent, want to rent a boat yourself, or want to try a new type of boat, download the GetMyBoat app and see what’s available. Compatible with iOS and Android platforms.

Now You See Me Quantum 2 Marine Radar On February 14, 2018, FLIR Systems unveiled their newest solid-state marine radar, the Quantum 2, that integrates with Raymarine’s Axiom multifunction displays. The new unit is an evolution of the original Quantum radar from Raymarine that made an impressive debut in 2016. Considered the industry’s first compact recreational radome with both CHIRP pulse and solidstate technology, the first Quantum radar even reportedly drew around 30 percent less power than comparable cavity magnetron radars from Raymarine. With that sort of pedigree behind it, what does the new Quantum 2 bring to the table? Like the original Quantum, the Quantum 2 utilizes Doppler processing. One main benefit for boaters is that this Doppler technology allows the user to specifically detect differences between stationary and moving targets. The applications are numerous, from detecting impending threats to identifying sedentary obstacles. But what is Doppler technology? To understand this, one should be familiar with the Doppler Effect. A classic example of the Doppler Effect is to imagine a car zooming past you. Notice how the sound of the car

sounds different when it approaches vs. when it is moving away. Why the heck is that? Shouldn’t a noise just be a noise? It turns out, the frequency/wavelength of a sound is related to the position of the observer (or sound receiver) and the motion of the sound-emitting object. This change in frequency of sound for the observer based upon movement relative to the wave source is called the Doppler Effect. By utilizing the Doppler Effect, the Quantum 2 can identify moving targets, and even color codes them based upon the object’s bearing and speed. For example, targets are green when moving away and red when moving towards your boat. While these are capabilities that the first Quantum featured, the Quantum 2 offers a Safety Sector capability that highlights and color codes potentially threatening static targets within 200 meters in front of the vessel. For anybody in the Pacific Northwest who has collided with a large dead head, this feature should help avoid that in the future. The Quantum 2, thanks to Doppler tech, also features Mini-Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) that allows the user to select and track targets on the display for ease of

monitoring. In the case of the Quantum 2, inbound targets are selected automatically and calculated “guard zones” are shown to avoid collisions with the user’s vessel. This unit boasts a 25-target cap, which is about as high as it gets in the recreational boating industry these days. This is a great way to keep an eye on any boats encroaching on your space. Like the first unit, the Quantum 2 features a Compressed High Intensity Radiated Pulse (CHIRP) transducer. This means that instead of a single “ping” at one frequency, a pulse with multiple sound frequencies is fired off by the radar transducer. Everybody loves CHIRP vs. traditional fixed-frequency sonars because they resolve targets with much more clarity. While not new to recreational boating, CHIRP is more commonly associated with sonar than radar, with the original Quantum radar leading the charge. The CHIRP capabilities of the Quantum 2 should result in crisp, highresolution images. Other notable characteristics of the Quantum 2 include the light weight (12.3 lbs!) and wireless Wi-Fi capabilities to pair it with a multifunction display. The first impression of the announcement is that the Quantum 2 is an improvement, but not a complete quantum leap forward from the original that introduced some of the aforementioned concepts to the industry. However, if you’re in the market for a radar, this unit looks like it can carry the torch for years to come. The manufacturer states the Quantum 2 will be available worldwide in the second quarter of 2018 through authorized dealers and retailers, starting at $1,949.99.

Visit Seattle! Here we see Visit Seattle, one of the teams from the famous Clipper Round the World Race. The crew, dressed as elves, are in full regalia for the holiday season as they arrive into Sydney, Australia during the ongoing 2017-2018 iteration of the race. The Clipper Round the World Race is one-of-a-kind in that it takes crews of non-professional sailing amateurs, pairs them with professional skippers on a 70' one-design racing yacht, and sends them around the world for a yearlong race. The race is broken up into several legs and races within each leg. The 2015-2016 race was the first to bring the Clippers to Seattle as an official leg finish/starting point. Visit Seattle is sponsored by the local tourism organization of the same name and has done quite well in the current race with two first-place wins and two close seconds. The team has been under the command of Nikki Henderson, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blazing a trail as the youngest skipper in the race's history. The Clippers will once again grace the Bell Harbor Marina of Seattle this month sometime between April 14 and 19 (weather dependent). See them for yourself and learn more at clipperroundtheworld.com. Maybe you'll be among them next year.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein

Fishing Fuel! For April I’d like to add some fuel to your fishing fool addiction. Whether it’s south or north of the Canadian border, there’s plenty of opportunity to catch something silver, brown or…who knows? Winter Chinook, or spring Chinook at this point, may still be available in parts of the states and for sure, should be a target in British Columbia. Our northern neighbors do call them “springs” for a reason. Out in the salt, these fish are usually pursued as you would blackmouth. However, we can see larger migratory Chinook come through this time of year, which means fishing more spots that would normally be considered summer-oriented areas. On the B.C. side of the pond, areas like Sooke, Victoria, and Sidney can all produce fish. Downrigger trolling produces most springs these days. Pulling anchovies is the mainstay, although herring, spoons, and hootchies all work too. Keep your offering closer to the bottom, although if you see a large mark higher on your sonar go get it.

be one of those purple-backed tankers from the ocean. As said before, there can be some big fish in April. Not too many years ago we’d run into Chinook over 30 lbs. this time of year. Up your mainline to 30-lb. test and your leader to at least 25 lbs. Always check your leader for abrasions when you can. It would be a heartbreaker to lose a monster king to a broken line. Test knots, sharpen hooks…do everything you can do to make sure your gear is good to go and won’t let you down as the weak link in the chain of Chinook success. Attention to detail will separate you from the average angler. They say ten percent of the fisher folk catch 90 percent of the fish. Shoot for the top percentile. Make sure to check Canadian and American regulations before you plan a trip. It’s easier to run from Washington to Canada these days. However, there are procedures you must follow. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has a form that must be filled out online at wdfw.com to report your intent to fish Canadian waters. You no longer need to call the Canadian government if you wish to cross and not touch land, but you must not fish when you return to U.S. waters. Check out the B.C. fishing website at pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca. Columbia River spring Chinook are the best-tasting salmon on the planet. We should get some time to fish for them in April. Unless you have a trailerable boat suited for the big river, hiring a good guide is the way to go. The waters around Portland, Oregon make for a fun fishing trip. There are hotels on the river close enough to the hot spots so that you can be picked up right at the dock. The most common method is trolling herring and a cannon ball weight close to the bottom. When a fish hits, you must wait for the rod to really bury down to the water and start yanking down hard. It’s tough to watch the rod twitching, knowing a nice fish is on the end of the line. The Chinook needs to turn with that bait and get the hook buried in its maw before the fight is on. And on it shall be. Springers fight hard, run fast, and will test your skill and stamina. Once the net scoops down and the fish is in the boat, you’ve got a real prize. Invite the family over for a BBQ and blow their minds.

On Watch By Peter Schrappen

Rules of Thumb for Boat Politics What’s the best boating advice you have ever received? Maybe it’s “red, right, return” or as my former colleague Tony Floor would say, “If you can see the bait [in the water], you are too late [in your ﬁshing excursion].” Verbose people have a fancy word for these guidelines: heuristics. I prefer the more plain-spoken synonym: rules of thumb. These devices simply provide a shortcut to what could be a complex situation, and rules of thumb are abundant in politics.

Weigh In Early... ...Even on decisions that seem far down the road. For example, did you know that there will be an extension of the Sound Transit light rail from West Seattle to Ballard, which could (if the current alignment is accepted) mean a bridge over Salmon Bay running parallel to the Ballard Bridge? That may concern you if your boat needs the drawbridge to open. Fortunately for you (and unfortunately for my evening schedule), I now serve on the Sound Transit advisory panel that will be looking at the various options to connect riders to these neighborhoods. Yes, there’s time (the route will be completed around 2038), but the earlier you help frame the message, the more you are generally heard. If you have an opinion about a tunnel option as opposed to the current bridge option, I’d like to know so I can better represent the boaters and marine trades.

Move Fast Speed is the name of the game (in Olympia) if you want to get a (legislative) win. Conversely, if you are losing, do what you can to draw out the clock. The Legislature adjourned on March 8, making this the ﬁrst session in about six years to end on time. When it comes to boating, my biggest priority was to improve the copper-bottom paint ban that commenced on January 1, 2018 for new vessels. To make the switch from copper, boaters have few options and the Department of Ecology (Ecology) has concerns the replacement chemicals are, “as bad if not worse for the environment than copper.” What to do, you ask? I’d answer, get to work with a proposal (aka bill) to improve the current law. What passed was an exemption for wooden boats and a new date for the phase-out to 2021. In the meantime, Ecology will study what other states are doing and put forward an alternative to this ban. The rule of thumb here speaks for itself. In a short 60day session, like this one, and an urgent situation staring us in the face with the current ban on the books, the solution revolved around wording in the bill that industry, boaters, environmentalists, and Ecology could agree upon. That meant this bill could move through the process and get passed in one short session. Looking at the numbers, we are in special company with this legislative success. Of the

60 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

3,650 bills introduced these past two years, only 375 have become law. I wasn’t a math major, but a 10% bill-to-law rate is a good reminder that the process is fraught with pitfalls (and often that’s a good thing).

Sometimes There Are No Rules That reality is front and center with the No Discharge Zone (NDZ). Park logic and science at the bike rack. Accept the fact that regulators regulate what they can regulate. Add in a “never underestimate the power of an easy, cheap headline like Let’s get poop out of Puget Sound” and you’ve got the makings for the nation’s largest NDZ. This new regulation is set to take effect by April 16. Meanwhile, a coalition called the Marine Alliance is taking the Department of Ecology to court to stop it. Expect to hear more about this issue. Given the NDZ has been a part of my life for the past six years, I’m both excited to work on other issues but still wondering why our “Let’s go with targeted No Discharge Zones” didn’t appeal to Ecology’s better sense. Speaking of never-ending issues, the fish fight that started in December between Washington’s Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) Director and the WDFW citizen-led commission culminated with the director resigning. As the negotiations heat up about the upcoming salmon-fishing seasons, it looks like there’s stability at the helm. Acting director Joe Stohr and anglers following this issue are cau2006 Cruisers Yachts 420 Express Twin Volvo diesels, AC-Heat, Genset, Nice! $199,000

Galley Gourmet By Bridget Charters

Asparagus: Harbinger of Paciﬁc Northwest Spring We are so lucky to live in and around the beautiful Puget Sound. I feel as though I need to say it each month. Spring is tricky because it can be lovely, warm and sunny, or we can face incredibly rainy and grey days. If the weather is the latter, then we take the sunny days when we can and bolt to the boat, giving it a quick wash and opening the hatches, or taking the boat for a quick spin. We never know what spring will bring and the “groundhog” doesn’t work for us boaters. Corinthian Yacht Club’s Blakely Rock Race is the start of spring and the sailing season, and marks the end of winter racing around the Sound. It’s a longer race and I’m always happy if the sun is out, even if the temperatures are cold. A nice tradition at this race is the tossing of the daffodils at the turn at Blakely Rock to honor deceased sailing photographer Kelly O’Neil Henson. Seeing those flowers floating on the water is a true signal of spring! On the long beats, if the sun is out, so are other boaters, both sail and power, you can feel the joy. Food-wise, I associate spring with asparagus! In the Pacific Northwest, homegrown asparagus does not appear until May, but asparagus from other parts show up in markets during April. Asparagus is harvested in various sizes, from fine pencil to very thick, extra-large stems. The Pacific Northwest market, which grows a lot of asparagus, runs about a month depending on temperatures.

We can thank the Romans for the cultivation of asparagus and with the demise of the Roman empire, the French picked up the torch for asparagus. The green stalk vegetable made its way throughout Europe, eventually arriving in the New World around the 1700s. While not necessarily “nautical,” asparagus is delicious, does not require a lot of handling, and can be the main event or served alongside a steak. Asparagus is a handy vegetable for boats. Asparagus can be stored wrapped in paper towels, just trim the bottoms and keep wet while storing. Asparagus will keep for about a week in the refrigerator. Cooking is easy: asparagus can be steamed, boiled, grilled, roasted, baked, or sautéed. I like asparagus raw in salads, or added to a pasta dish, stir fry, or curry. My favorite way to cook asparagus to quickly blanch the spears in rapidly boiling salted water for a quick 5 minutes; then I allow it to cool on a plate. I drizzle it with garlic butter or a nice extra virgin olive oil and eat it with a pile of fresh mayonnaise. Enjoy the spring, welcome the season with a trip to the boat to wash the deck, then finish the day with a nice meal on board of grilled steak and some lovely spring asparagus!

Asparagus Bruschetta Extra virgin olive oil – something delicious 2-3 whole cloves of garlic, peeled Basil leaves – 1 per toast Bundle of asparagus, grilled, roasted or blanched and cut into 1/2” pieces Juice of a lemon

1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped Salt Fresh cracked pepper Good Italian bread – preferably some type of large crusty bread

For the bread, slice into 1/2” thick pieces and toast on the grill or under a broiler on both sides, when the bread starts to color, turn, pull out/off when both sides are golden, rub lightly with a whole clove of garlic, drizzle with a delicious extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Make a salad of asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and parsley. Then top the surface of the bread with basil leaves and a portion of the asparagus salad.

Shaved Asparagus Salad 12 large asparagus spears (about 1 lb.), trimmed and peeled 1 /4 cup finely grated Parmesan; plus a piece for shaving 1 1 /2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Picked Italian parsley leaves for garnish Assorted salad greens, about 1 lb. 1

Working with 1 asparagus spear at a time, use a vegetable peeler to shave spears into long, thin shavings. Transfer to a medium bowl (the tips will snap off as spears get thinner; add to bowl). Combine grated Parmesan and lemon juice in a small bowl and slowly whisk in oil until well blended. Season vinaigrette generously with salt and pepper, and drizzle vinaigrette over shaved asparagus and toss to coat. Add salad greens at the last minute, with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Use peeler to shave more Parmesan over salad and sprinkle with parsley leaves.

Spring Asparagus & Fennel Salad 2 heads fennel bulb, trimmed at bottom and trimmed of greens 1 head spring garlic, green 12 spears thick asparagus 2 lemons, Meyer or regular, zest and juice

/2 cup picked Italian parsley leaves /4 cup picked tarragon leaves Extra virgin olive oil Salt and freshly cracked pepper 1 1

Finely shave the fennel on a mandolin, hold in cold water if prepping early (then spin dry in a salad spinner). Shave the asparagus on the bias, slightly thicker than the fennel. Shave the garlic fine, vertically (your choice on how garlicky you would like the salad). Toss the vegetables together and dress with lemon juice, zest, oil and seasoning, add in the herbs, toss and serve immediately.

Grilled Asparagus 1-2 bunches asparagus /2 cup extra virgin olive oil Salt 1 lemon, zested

Wash asparagus and grill while damp until the exterior is lightly charred and blistered. Remove to a serving platter; drizzle with oil, season with salt to taste and zest with lemon. Serve immediately! Roasting option: Wash asparagus and snap off hard ends; toss in olive oil with a light coating then salt and roast in a 400-degree oven for 8-10 minutes.

Baked Asparagus Bundles With Parmesan & Prosciutto 1 bunch of asparagus 4 slices prosciutto 1 /2 cup parmesan cheese, grated Salt and pepper to taste White wine Extra virgin olive oil Trim the asparagus and blanch in rapidly boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and cool on a baking sheet. Once the asparagus has cooled, set aside and line the baking sheet with lightly oiled parchment paper. On a flat surface lay out the pieces of prosciutto, and pile 4-5 spears of asparagus on the center of the prosciutto. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the prosciutto around the spears and place on the oiled baking sheet. Drizzle all the bundles with white wine and bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with fresh cheese.

Risotto with Asparagus 1 lb. bag Carnaroli Rice (principato di Lucedio is the best, or Aquerello) 2 quarts chicken stock 1 stick butter, unsalted Extra virgin olive oil 1 yellow onion, minced fine

1 cup white wine 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano grated cheese Italian parsley Salt to taste Fresh cracked pepper Grilled Asparagus (see recipe above)

Sweat the onion in a combination of olive oil and 3 tablespoons butter, do not color. Once the onion is translucent, add the rice and cook lightly, toasting the rice. Deglaze with the white wine and allow liquid to cook off. Gradually add the stock, ladle by ladle, keeping the rice under a thin veil of stock. Stirring constantly, continue to add stock and cook, as the rice begins to soften and becomes al dente, slow the addition of stock. Cook until the rice is tender but firm, another 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 minutes. Add the butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and parsley. Adjust the seasoning, remove from heat, cover and let rest for 5 minutes, add asparagus and sprinkle with parsley.

THE Wreck H The DisapPEArIng WRecks of thE Oregon COast

The remains of the sailing ship Peter Iredale at the northwest tip of Oregon are well-known as the most visited wreck on the West Coast. But for hardcore shipwreck fans, the real achievement is to see one of the unpredictable “disappearing” wrecks of the PNW. By Peter Marsh This demands great patience, low tides, and a great deal of luck. Here are stories of wrecks I have seen and one that continues to evade me.

The Emily G. ReEd - Past And PreSENt Valentine’s Day 1908 was not a happy time for the men on the 215’ square rigger Emily G. Reed. Bound for Portland with a cargo of 2,100 tons of Australian coal, the ship spent 102 days at sea and Captain William Kessel was relying on

Dead (deduced) Reckoning since his last sun shot days before. He thought he was on course for the lightship at the mouth of the Columbia. Unfortunately, he was about 50 miles south, preventing him from sighting the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse (built 1881) through the gloom. The next landmark to the south is Neahkahnie Mountain (1680’ high) about a mile from the shore, but the sun had set long before and the officers were not aware how close they were to shore. It was after mid-

night when the lookout recognized there were breakers beneath the bow and ran aft to alert the captain. There was no way to stop the ship from disaster, and it slid silently onto the sandbar at the mouth of the Nehalem River, and ground to a halt. This was not an isolated event; many hundreds of sailing ships approached the Columbia River every year and a handful of them would end their days on the beach. Seven or eight sailors died in this wreck and four of the crew reck-

SHE's BACK The weight of the spars caused the ship to roll onto its side, and its valuable planking was soon stripped away. The hull slowly began to sink into the sand until it disappeared completely—only to re-appear every few years when storms washed the sand away. This continued until the late 1970s when it was submerged for so long that it was practically forgotten for good. Generations of children frolicked in the surf unaware of what lurked beneath their feet! On December 1, 2007 the wind gods who had pounded so many ships to pieces brewed up a windstorm so powerful it was officially named the “Great Gale.” It blew for four days and devastated the region with 18 deaths and a gust measured at 147 mph. When it subsided, the beaches had been scoured for over 100 miles to a depth of several feet, exposing ghost forests, and other mysterious items. In Rockaway, the beachcombers found the side timbers of the Emily Reed had re-appeared. She didn’t stay long, but came back again in the winter of 2010-2011, and soon became a minor celebrity thanks to the new world of smart phones and selfies. I drove down from Astoria to visit a friend who had bought a beach house there, but by the time I learned about the wreck, it was

lessly launched a lifeboat from the stern and drifted north along the entire Washington Coast to Neah Bay, suffering terribly. But six people, including the captain and his wife, found what shelter they could in the foc’sle. Morning found the ship firmly aground, with the tide low enough to enable them to wade ashore to the settlement of Nehalem, where they quickly found help. Like other shipwrecked crews, they were transported to Astoria

by the U.S. Life Saving Service, where the official accident reports were filed. But the next tide re-floated the ship, and the Emily G. Reed began to drift down the coast. It soon came to its final resting at a place called Garibaldi Beach, where it broke in two pieces. A pioneer named Elmer D. Allen recounts in the Jan. 18, 1954 edition of the Tillamook Headlight-Herald seeing the ship shortly after it foundered on the beach: "Among the last of the proud,

gone again. I wandered along the beach at low tide and stood where I thought the wreck laid. A few minutes later, I met Don Best, a longtime resident, historian, and photographer whose pioneer family has lived in a beach house near the wreck since the early 1900s. He was born in 1943 and remembers playing in the wreckage as a young boy. He told me that his neighbors recalled filling buckets with coal that washed up on the sands. People were still finding chunks of wood from the wreck into the 1950s. His Father saved it to burn at Christmas; when the copper fasteners and sheathing gave off strange blue and green flames, so they called it “magic wood.” In the following years, I’ve spent several Christmases at my friend’s beach house, but never found any of the magic wood.

I forgot my dream of one day standing on the lonely wreck that lies far from its birthplace on the Medonak River in Waldoboro, Maine, (launched in 1880) and I completely missed the wreck’s appearance in February 2017. But a year later, I read about the ship’s latest sighting in the Daily Astorian, and excitedly checked the tide table to see if it would be uncovered in daylight. I called Don to check that it was still uncovered. Alas, he informed that it had already gone. Oh well, maybe next year?

THE ShARK sAGA I’ve never seen the 1846 wreck of the USS Shark on the Columbia Bar described as a “ghost ship,” but I’m adding it to my exclusive list. After all, what could be more ghostly than a disintegrating wooden warship finally releasing its grip on two of its

cannons after 162 years? Well, how about one of them revealing that it was an 18-pounder cast by Wiggin & Graham of London in 1807 for the Royal Navy? I think even Captain Jack Sparrow would approve. After a goodwill visit to the British staff at Fort Vancouver, the schooner-rigged Shark set off downriver and met its end on September 10, 1846, on the infamous Clatsop Spit where so many vessels have perished (including the Peter Iredale). But remarkably, all the crew of 70 survived, perhaps benefiting from naval discipline and waiting for the racing ebb tide to turn. They were all able to row ashore at low tide and hike back towards the small pioneer settlement of Astoria. The crew had lost everything, had to build shelters from driftwood, and rely on the local community for all their needs. After three months, a British Hudson’s Bay Company ship was chartered to take them back to the East Coast. They safely rounded Cape Horn and never saw the Oregon Territory again. How could they have guessed that a part of their ship would survive to carry their history into the 21st century? Back on the Columbia Bar, winter storms continued to pound the Shark’s hull until part of the deck was torn away. Like a raft, the bolted mass of timber drifted south until it washed ashore 30 miles south near Arch Cape. It was seen by a beachcomber in the breakers, with three cannons and a windlass still attached, before it disappeared beneath the sand for 50 years. In 1898, someone from the community of Elk Creek, Oregon, spotted one of the cannons. They managed to recover it at low tide using a horse team and put it on display in the village. In 1922, Elk Creek was becoming a popular resort distinguished by the 235’ Haystack Rock, and the town’s name was changed to the distinctive Cannon Beach.

February 2008, after the Great Gale eroded the Arch Cape beach, Miranda Petrone, a 12-year-old from Portland, was walking on the beach with her father Michael. The tide was out and they were exploring a “ghost forest”—the remains of ancient trees drowned by the encroaching sea centuries ago—exposed for the first time in 50 years. Amongst the tangle of roots and stumps, she noticed a rocky mass with a patch of rust. Looking closer, they both realized this was something man-made, covered with a thick crust of hardened sand, pebbles, and shells. They walked back to their beach house and called the Nehalem Bay State Park campground to report the find. Within hours, state officials were on the scene and plans were made to excavate the object the next day before the shifting sand re-claimed it. Incredibly, as a crowd gathered to watch, a visitor named Sharisse Repp looked seaward and spotted something unusual—it proved to be the second cannon! The local police made sure nothing was disturbed overnight and the next day, a backhoe arrived from the state park and made short work of clearing enough sand to pass a sling. Once both objects were hoisted up and safely on shore, everyone could see the outline of the cannons' shape and the heavy wooden mounts they sat on. The guns spent the next year in tanks of brine in the state park. In 2009, when an agreement was reached with Texas A&M University, the cannons were trucked to the Marine Archaeology and Conservation School still in their tanks and began a full conservation that lasted several years. Once the hardened sand and rock concretion was carefully chipped away, the cannons were sent to an electronic reduction vat for nine months to pull out the chlorides that had leached into the metal from the salt. That was followed by more chemical baths to prevent any further corrosion. Five years later in May 2014, they were returned to the Columbia River Maritime

They now sit on new wooden carriages in two climate-controlled cases in a redesigned gallery. The exhibit also features Shark Rock, a large boulder into which survivors of the shipwreck had carved their names.

THE eND OF THE LINE FOR THE NEW CARISSA In a complete contrast to historic wrecks making reappearances, the New Carissa was a modern ship that wrecked on February 4, 1999 and disappeared in the summer of 2008 in a thoroughly modern way. The mystery is how this 639’ Japanese wood chip carrier ran aground in the first place, and then the story turns to the poor decisions that caused its destruction. I remember watching in disbelief as one failure followed another. The slow-motion disaster began on a typical “dark and stormy night” when the ship was refused entry to Coos Bay, Oregon, because breaking waves on the bar prevented the pilot boat from leaving. The captain took the fateful decision to anchor close to the beach overnight in 25-30 knot west winds and a heavy swell. The scope was too short, the anchor never dug in, and the ship was soon aground. When the Fred Devine Diving and Salvage Company's famous anchor tug Salvage Chief arrived from Astoria to re-float the ship on February 9, 1999 the crew were ready to set all three of the Chief’s massive 12,000-lb. anchors, knowing they had six powerful winches to pull the ship off an

inch at a time, a system that had proved itself hundreds of times over 50 years. The hull was not leaking at this point, but Salvage Chief’s crew never got the chance because the official “Unified Command” managing the response—including the USCG and the insurers—refused to give permission. They chose to wait for some big modern tugboats that were many days away, and according to crew I have interviewed, the failure to employ the Chief was a textbook example of "unintended consequences." The stormy weather returned, the ship resumed pounding on the sand, and oil started to leak from the fuel tanks, threatening the bay and entire coastline. The goal now became the prevention of a disastrous oil spill, and the ship was written off. That was just as well, because the methods that were employed completely destroyed it! On February 10, naval demolition teams were sent in by helicopter to ignite the 400,000 gallons of fuel with explosives. On February 11, the fire took hold and pictures of the ship ablaze on the beach were seen around the world. The fires burned for about 36 hours and the next day, weakened by the inferno, the New Carissa broke in two. There was still an estimated 135,000 gallons of oil in the tanks, so a new plan was hastily improvised. The two pieces of the ship would be towed out to sea and scuttled in deep water. On March 2, the big Crowley tug Sea Victory towed the 440’ long forward half 40 miles out to sea in a rising storm until the towline snapped. The bow drifted north and ran aground near Waldport, Oregon. Continued on Page 106

spanned oceans.

74 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

“Down, down, down!” I shout over the 20-knot wind as a deadhead, a proper log, appears on our course. “DOWN!” Jeff Oaklief, president of the Northwest Multihull Association (NMA) and owner of the Farrier F9R trimaran Ruf Duck, adjusts the course off the wind in the nick of time. “Nice call!” says Oaklief as Ruf Duck zips past the potential hull-damaging log at a sporting 16 knots. He resumes course toward the Seattle cityscape that towers proudly into the sunny February sky. Today’s Blakely Rock Race, the first of the Center Sound Series, is supposed to be overcast with five knots of wind. Leave it to the late winter/early spring Pacific

Northwest weather to surprise us with a gorgeous day and brisk wind. I look over to the other crewmates, Scott Wallingford and Li Sung, who are with me on the windward arm of the tri for our downwind run. We’ve rounded Blakely Rock and scheme our course back to Shilshole Bay. Why are we on Ruf Duck in the first place, you may ask? Wallingford, Sung, and I are training for the Northwest Maritime School’s (NMS) fourth iteration of the Race to Alaska (R2AK), the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic adventure race. We, Team Wright Yachts, are scheduled to do the 750-mile, engineless race in a Corsair 970 Sport performance trimaran dubbed Wright 1. The catch? Our boat is

currently under construction in Vietnam and we need to practice. While our team has plenty of combined nautical experience, including Sung’s PhD in Ocean Engineering and U.S. Navy tenure, and Wallingford’s decade-plus marine industry career, we are by no means multihull racing gurus yet. In fact, this race aboard Ruf Duck with Oaklief is our first official race together, and, for most of us the first time aboard a performance tri. Thankfully, the spring sailing season in Puget Sound gives us a near-weekly chance to race with Oaklief and the NMA, who’ve graciously taken us ducklings under Ruf Duck’s wings. Bust out the pump-up music and boxing gloves because it’s training montage time. We finish the Blakely Rock Race, not first by any means but not in disgrace either, and help Oaklief get Ruf Duck on the trailer. Someday soon, we’ll be doing this kind of setup and breakdown in our own craft. “Nice hustle,” Oaklief tells us in his breakdown of the day. “Even brought me a coffee... and I pretty much need my coffee. Crew work is showing promise, and you seem to have figured out the jib, screecher, and main. You have my trust on those now, so the spinnaker is next on the list... that and getting folks on the helm.” One race down. A lifetime of learning to go.

The remaining three of us have thus adjusted our strategy. The drawback of being a bare-bones crew will be the increased fatigue on each crewmember over the course of the multiple days of the race. “Mastering our crew rotation so we can get rest will be critical,” says Wallingford. “If all goes to plan, we’ll finish Leg 2 and get to Ketchikan in about four days. We’re all going to need to get some kind of shut-eye during that time.” On the plus side, a barebones crew has the advantage of less weight aboard. The racing mindset dictates that every pound of weight not aboard is its own victory, and the weight demands of each crew is the sum of his or her body weight, water and food consumed, gear, etc. Every person represents potentially hundreds of pounds. In short, like all things R2AK so far, hopefully the pros of our decision outweigh the cons. We’ll only know for sure once we hobble over that finish line.

But what of our vessel under construction abroad? Our ragtag group’s shot at R2AK has been made possible by Rob Wright of Wright Yacht Sales, the local dealer of Corsair trimarans. Wright is essentially letting us take his inventory on a joy ride before finding it a permanent home, perhaps with another R2AK dreamer for next year. With the Blakely Rocks Race under our belts and team confidence growing, I pack my bags for a trip to Vietnam to see Wright 1 for the first time. In my absence, Wallingford and Sung prepared for another training race aboard Ruf Duck, the Center Sound Series Scatchet Head Race. R2AK prep never stops.

VIVID VIETNAM The food carts and businesses on the other side C u Phú Thuân (Phu Thuan Bridge) in District 7 of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) have no rhyme or reason where they spill onto the sidewalk. The concrete, single-room shops are laid

Wright 1 in all her glory! The team’s dreams and well-being rest on her capable hull. With an arrival of April, Scott, Li, and I are like three kids waiting for a big birthday present.

STATUS UPDATE: THE TEAM A lot has happened since Team Wright Yachts announced to the world that we were taking on R2AK in Northwest Yachting’s January 2018 issue. Readers of that story will probably be wondering what happened to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Corps Officer Kathryn Richwine, our fourth team member. In short, life. Being the superwoman that she is, she decided to focus on racing competitively in her upcoming marathon, dominating her NOAA career, and other such goals. Sometimes, an adventure race just doesn’t fit into one’s plans. Maybe next year, and we’ll certainly miss her when it comes time to peddle.

APRIL 2018 || NORTHWEST YACHTING

open to the world this Tuesday morning as Rob Wright and I make our way from our accommodations to the Corsair Marine International Factory for the first time. A man welds an ornate gate in one room while a woman peddles purses in the next. We pass food carts selling freshly baked Bánh mì (baguettes) and writhing eels fresh from the nearby Saigon River. Motor scooters overloaded with bundles of sugar cane and children chug by in the hundreds. We’ve been in Vietnam less than 24 hours, and as the sun and barometer rises, so do our appetites. Fortunately, we have time before we are to meet up with Shane Grover of Corsair, who is going to introduce us to Wright 1. She’s almost ready for Pacific Northwest delivery and commission, and Wright is dropping in as a formality and to sate his curiosity. I feel lucky to tag along, especially as we stop for a coffee. I didn’t anticipate the café culture of the country, perhaps something picked up from the French colonization, and men fill the small shop that we visit, nursing the highly concentrated ice coffee (cà phê sữa đá) and smoking cigarettes. We stop in at a three-table phở shop, and the grandmotherly owner simply holds up two fingers. I nod, and two giant bowls of soup appear for 60,000 Vietnamese Dong apiece, roughly $2.50 USD. We arrive to the factory right on time and pass a small army of Vietnamese wearing identical Corsair Marine work onesies

leaving the factory. They are on break and line up near a few savvy food carts waiting on the side of the road. Shane Grover greets us, a young Aussie with nearly a decade working with Corsair under his belt. He moved from Oz to Vietnam with the company and has made himself right at home with his Vietnamese wife and language proficiency. “Let’s show you guys about the factory, then,” says Grover after introducing us to the office staff, a friendly mix of Aussies and Vietnamese. We enter the Corsair assembly facility and are greeted with about a dozen builds in various stages of completion. My eyes snap to the 970 on the far side of the

factory, and we make our way over. “Is this it?” asks Wright. “This is it,” says Grover. I, in awe, run my hands along her hull. Wright 1’s arms have been recently attached, and a few workmen aboard are finishing the interior. Grover procures the carbon fiber bowsprit and sticks it into the bow. “Over there’s the mast,” he points, and we check it out. Wright 1 will feature the carbon fiber racing option, which cuts down on evil weight considerably. Grover demonstrates by lifting the entire mast with one hand. I’m a little distracted as Wright and Grover hash out specifics. Someday soon, Team Wright Yachts will be dependent on this boat for the sake of glory chasing and safety at sea. Although saddened we don’t get to take her out on the Saigon or Mekong rivers for a test run, the anticipation of that first sail has me nearly shaking with excitement.

CORSAIR MARINE INTERNATIONAL

R2AK: FOURTH EDITION

Corsair Marine International, known simply as “Corsair” in multihull circles, is a world leader in multihull manufacturing with over 30 years of operation. Originally Australian based, the company now operates out of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Known both for its trailerable performance Corsair trimarans and luxury cruising Seawind catamarans, the company touts over 2,000 trimarans built. Much of the success of the trimarans is due to their folding arm technology that not only makes them easier to fit into a slip but also trailerable. This design was pioneered by trimaran design legend Ian Farrier, who helped put the company on the map in the early days. You can look at their complete lineup of performance trimarans at corsairmarine.com and luxury catamarans at seawindcats.com.

76 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

This year’s race marks the fourth R2AK event, and at the time of this writing there is a total of 23 teams registered for the entire race course. In classic R2AK form, the array of teams represents the range of racing strategies from Team Extreme Sobriety aboard a Blakely Board SUP (crewed by Bainbridge Island resident Steve Rhoades) to performance multihull teams not unlike our crew. The deadline to apply for registration is April 15, a date fast approaching as I write this. Like previous years, R2AK 2018 will feature the same course and lineup. After the Pre-Race Ruckus in Port Townsend on June 13, the starting gun will go off at 0500 hours on June 14 to the sound of Soviet-era comrade music and cheers of the crowd. That first day has been dubbed the “Proving Ground,” a 40-mile Leg 1 to Victoria across the open Strait Continued on Page 78

of Juan de Fuca. It’s a test that preferably washes out the unprepared teams at this early stage rather than hundreds of miles from help. The only race rules that apply are engines are outlawed and no special supply arrangements can be made. Once in Victoria, the crews get an evening party that night and a lay day on the 15th to steel themselves for the Leg 2, a 710-mile jog through the Inside Passage up to Ketchikan, Alaska. The two waypoints of Leg 2, Waypoint 1 of Seymour Narrows and Waypoint 2 of Bella Bella, are meant to force the teams into the tactically challenging passes. Seymour Narrows is considered by many to host the largest tidal swings in the world, and the buzz among marine biologists are that even migrating whales must wait for the 18-knot tides to swing in their favor before passing. The irreverent, cavalier culture is one of the main attractions of the race. Although a tasty first-place cash prize of $10,000 nailed to a chunk of wood is offered as incentive, all those who even finish the race are considered winners with about 50% of teams washing out in a typical year. Second place is an infamous set of steak knives. One clever incentive by the NMS for lower-budget crews is that they offer $10,000 to every team that finishes for their boat. The first one to say yes, gets it. In theory, one could home build a sailing canoe and make a nice profit, provided they beat everyone else who’d be interested in the exchange. Additionally, highly-coveted awards are also motivators for various teams. The prestigious Dirt Bag Award goes to the highest performing team on a shoestring budget, for example, and is just as prestigious as first place on a spiritual level.

BEFORE THE GUN

78 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

Team Wright Yachts has plenty to do before the start gun in Port Townsend on June 14. Most notably, we eagerly await the arrival of our beloved Wright 1 from overseas. With an ETA of “mid-late April” and local commissioning to boot, we don’t have a lot of wiggle room with regards to tweaking our race platform. “I’m confident that the boat will arrive on time,” says Wright. “But an arrival of

April with commissioning to do means that, practically speaking, we’ll be racing her in the water early May, about a month and a half before the starting gun.” In the meanwhile, the team will continue our near-weekly training with Jeff Oaklief and the NMA in the local racing circuit. The Center Sound Series Blakely Rock and Scachet Head races were a great start to the team’s multihull racing career. Fortunately, most of the legwork with regards to logistics planning are not dependent upon Wright 1’s arrival. Rations, gear, equipment, and the like are constantly schemed at frequent team meetings at our unofficial headquarters, the Sloop Tavern of Ballard across from the new Nordic Museum. Li Sung is also pulling the trigger on the human-powered element with his own not-patented design. While I’m not at liberty to divulge the intricacies of our secret weapon, construction is underway and everything about it is homegrown from the University of Washington shop. The bottom line is that Team Wright Yachts is a fair distance into a long journey. The reality of our commitment has sunk in, and it’s clear that navigating the 750mile course is the final reward for months of preparation. All the in-water training, over-drinks scheming, and international wheeling and dealing will come down to a handful of intense days on the water during the actual race if all goes to plan. Why? Why throw ourselves into this mess? Why go through so much just for a shot at what guarantees to be a trial in the wilderness for no apparent reason? I think back to my time in Vietnam, a Buddhist majority nation once torn by war. The Buddha once said in the The Udana text, “Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, so also this Dharma and Discipline has one taste, the taste of liberation.” R2AK, the liberation through discipline of the mind. A salty taste indeed. Norris Comer is the managing editor of Northwest Yachting magazine. Say hi on Facebook at Norris Nelson Comer or send an email at norris@nwyachting.com.

A Native American anthropologist breaks new ground and gets in touch with his heritage through traditional boat building. By Dr. Sven Haakanson JR.

80 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

As a Native from Kodiak Island, Alaska, I never knew that our ancestors made open skin-boats, angyaat, until the mid-1990s when I started exploring ethnographic museums. The first time I saw an angyaaq (singular form of angyaat in Alutiiq) model was in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia in the spring of 1991. I did not believe

this boat was from my region because every elder I had ever spoken to never mentioned that we once had boats like that. We only had kayaks. Angyaat, open skin-boats, were commonly seen in the Gulf of Alaska prior to European and Russian contact. The boats would traditionally have a wood frame tied together with sinew, rawhide, and

History of the Angyaat Looking at the history of Russian contact, the angyaat could haul entire families and communities and get away from danger quickly. The Russians did not want this to happen, so they took the boats for themselves and used the angyaat until the 1860s, when Americans came in with a solid wooden skiff that replaced the angyaat entirely. Over the last 20 years I have personally examined 14 angyaat located in Russia, Germany, France, England, and the United States. This spring, I just learned about one more model angyaaq in an English collection that was misidentified, as most of the others were. With only 15 genuine builds in museum collections scattered across the world, and none in Alaska, it feels urgent to bring this knowledge home while we still have elders who remember the traditional methods of construction and wood preparation. The University of Washington’s (UW) Burke Museum happens to have one of the 15 model angyaat that exist in the world. When I started working at the UW and Burke Museum in 2013, I took the opportunity to research and see if we could reintroduce the angyaaq to the communities on Kodiak Island by building models. In the spring of 2014, I sketched, photographed, and created a 3-D photogrammetry of the boat. Then I made a to-scale miniature model of the Burke Museum artifact to see how hard

roots, and covered with sea lion skins sewn together using a watertight stitch. By the 1860s, they disappeared from use and would not be seen again for over a century in this region. The first European images of angyaat were drawn by John Webber during Captain Cook’s third and final expedition to the Prince William Sound region in the spring of

1778. In fact, his drawings are some of the only known illustrations of these boats to exist from this time. My interest in these boats was piqued when the drawings were revealed to be from our region. I became interested in the cultural significance of the boat’s bulbous bow and historical implications for why they had disappeared.

it would be to replicate the angyaaq. After figuring out the dimensions, I created 15 kits and took them to Kodiak, where I had been collaborating with the community of Akhiok for the past 17 years. We worked with elders, teachers, adults, and youth to make these models at the Akhiok Kids Camp. We completed 13 builds during the 2014 camp, sparking a desire in many to try and construct a full-sized, functional angyaaq. How we were going to do this was beyond me at that time, for I never had taken on such a task. But we had just made 13 models based on an original model, so it seemed possible to make one that was full-sized.

82 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

The BuiLD: A Labor Of Love In the fall of 2014, I got the word out that we were going to try and construct a full-sized angyaaq. In the spring, I started gathering wood and materials for the boat project. I reached out to another individual who constructed a similar vessel but never received a response. I roped in a fellow archaeological colleague, Dr. Peter Lape, to help in this crazy endeavor. Over the next nine months, we received donations of fabric from George Dyson and wood from Jensen Motor Boat Company, and funding from the Sea Alaska Corporation and Friends of Native Art. With help from Brian Johnson, Burke Museum staff members, UW students, deans, professors,

and many more, we started constructing a frame at the beginning of June. One UW student in particular, Rosemary Mathison, volunteered her time to help us. She ended up working with us for over two years. We constructed a 27' frame in two weeks and then we dismantled it so we could store the incomplete boat until we could finish it. Taking what I learned from this experience, I prepared my return to Akhiok where I would work with the community and attempt this same effort, with just five days to do what previously took us two weeks. In August of 2015, I returned to Kodiak with Rosemary to attempt the impossible. I say impossible because we had to find wood from the surrounding beaches large enough for the bow and stern, and handsaw all the other parts from spruce lumber from the city of Kodiak, which we brought with us in the chartered plane to the village. The camp is located at the southern end of Kodiak Island at Cape Alitak and is a 45-minute skiff ride from the village of Akhiok. Everything needed to be skiffed in, including water and tents, and camp set-up often takes a full day. On the fifth and final day of camp, we zip tied the frame together with only six of us remaining in camp. What a relief! But we still had a lot more work in the following year before we were even near completing it. It was amazing that we constructed two frames in 2015, one at the Burke Museum and one at the village of Akhiok. Our next goal was to reassemble, tie, and cover that first angyaaq at the Burke. In December 2015, we were given exhibit space to finish the angyaaq we started in June. A group came together at the Burke and we spent two weeks tying, sanding, carving, sewing, and covering the angyaaq. For the first time in over 155 years this unique vessel, designed and used by my Kodiak community, was constructed.

Knowledge REVEaLED To have been part of this process was humbling because I learned more and more about the technological knowledge embodied within the boat and was amazed that we nearly lost this knowledge. The bulbous bow, for example, now seen on many oceangoing vessels, was part of this boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original design from the start. To learn that the function of this bow design increases the boat speed and decreases the energy costs made me pause because my entire life we were told all our past ways of life were primitive and worthless. How is a design like this worthless when it was far more advanced than some of our current hull designs? We have been taught to label things that Native peoples create as being primitive, yet this design would never be considered primitive if the advanced knowledge and thought put into the construction and function of this boat was understood. I am curious what else is dismissed because we label things from the past as being primitive. I digress. After completion of the angyaaq, it joined other vessels at the Burke that hail from across the Pacific and are now being examined with a new perspective. We happened to launch our angyaaq on Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Opening Day of the 2016 boating season. It was wonderful because we did something that seemed impossible to do, and more importantly, we helped reintroduced the Sugpiat/Alutiiq boat back into the world. The Burke Museum is the first to have a fully functioning angyaaq in its collection. We returned to Akhiok the summer of 2016 and finished the angyaaq we started. This time we were not so afraid to make mistakes, because we learned through the process that mistakescan teach us. However, we are not stopping here because our ultimate ambition is larger. We want to help communities take back the knowledge lost because of change brought in by outsiders. We are reversing the tides of this loss. Communities are increasingly learning about their traditional ways of living and using them once again. Sven Haakanson Jr. is an American anthropologist who has specialized in documenting and preserving the language and culture of the Alutiiq. He is former Executive Director of the Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak, Alaska, and is currently Curator at the Burke Museum and Associate Professor at UW.

About our collection: The Burke Museum cares for over 16 million objects with focuses on culture, biology, paleontology, and geology. I work in the Ethnology Department where we care for over 50,000 ethnographic pieces. The museum has collections from North and South America, the Pacific Islands, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Russia, Japan, and China. Part of the collection consists of full-sized vessels from these regions that have been donated to the museum since it was founded: tribal canoes, a Chinese river boat, umiak, outriggers, a Balinese Jukung , and double outrigger. Each one represents a distinct culture and has knowledge embodied in it that can teach us about the boat construction, use and history. About our Work: The angyaaq from the story is now part of our ongoing collection and sharing of traditional knowledge with tribes. We are responsible for caring for, maintaining, and sharing these vessels, whose traditional construction methods are threatened by limited access to original materials and global economics. Small traditional vessels are being replaced with contemporary vessels made out of imported materials that are often cheaper and faster to construct. The Burke plays an important role in keeping this knowledge alive. So far, we have worked with a Balinese boat builder and the Sugpiat, Tlingit, Haida, Nooksack, Suquamish, Duwamish, Calispell, and Yakama Tribes in learning about their vessels. We have only started to ripple the water of knowledge and hope that this will raise an awareness of how important it is for us to not only care for the boats, but help others keep their traditional boating practices alive within their communities.

RACING SHEET

Race Season Ramps Up Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Jan Anderson The spring holds a special place on the Seattle racing calendar. Not only does it tease the beginnings of summer, but ﬁnally we can race sailboats every weekend from March straight through until June. Kicking off this marathon of saltwater spray and frustrated life partners is the Center Sound Series, annually hosted by Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle. The traditional kickoﬀ for the season is a quick race down

around Blakely Rock, which sits at the entrance of Bainbridge Island’s Eagle Harbor. Being the first race of the season for much of the fleet, the starting area was full of friendly waves as everyone got set up for the race. The wind forecast was for light air dropping to nothing, but with 10-13 knots of wind at the start it was anyone’s guess as to what the day would bring. Sticking with tradition, the course for a northerly wind took the fleet upwind from the start line to

a temporary mark, set 3 miles north of Meadow Point, then downwind to Blakely Rock, and then back upwind to finish. Racing got underway with a reverse order starting sequence that had smaller boats starting first with the big ORC monsters last in line. This format lets the slower boats get a head start and hopefully, everyone arrives back to the clubhouse to wrap up the day together. On the water, things began to get sporty as the fleet com-

pressed at the first turning mark and prepared to set spinnakers for the run down the rocks. Finding a lane of clean air as the bigger boats overtook the tight fleet was easier said than done, and several boats lost a lot of ground by over standing the mark in search of clear air. Spinnakers went up and the breeze began to build into the high teens as the fleet worked their way towards the rocks. A handful of wipeouts in the higher breeze and the tight, leeward rounding between the rocks and the beach grabbed everyone’s attention. The changing currents took the fleet across to the Magnolia Bluff in search of relief and finally around West Point to the finish. Things wrapped up with a great party at the yacht club, and the breezy conditions made for a quick race, allowing plenty of time to swap stories over cold beverages. Back-to-back with Blakely Rock, Scatchet Head is the next race in the Center Sound Series

Results: Center Sound Series #1 & 2 and traditionally takes the fleet north towards the south end of Whidbey Island. Unfortunately, this year the wind forecast was dismal, calling for one to two knots dying to absolutely nothing as the day carried on. To the amazement of everyone, the morning of the race a steady, almost warm northerly breeze greeted the fleet. With the looming threat of the unforeseen wind shutting off, the race committ ee decided to change the course to keep everyone closer to the marina in the event of a shutdown. Fleets would head north towards a mark set just off Edmond’s Point Wells, then south to the West Point buoy, back north to a temporary mark north of Meadow Point, back to West Point, and then upwind to the finish. Racing got underway on schedule, and it was a hardfought battle upwind off the line in a race that had suddenly shifted from a medium distance to a long buoy race. Arriving at the weather mark, we found the same situation as the week before with nearly all fleets converging at the same time, leaving plenty of opportunity to stub your tow, but also a great chance to make gains with a clean spinnaker set. The race began to spread out during the kite run, but the fleet racing was in full swing with close finishes throughout. In Class 5, the top three boats corrected out to within three minutes of one another, and in PHRF 7 Carl Buchan’s Madrona beat out Charlie Macaulay’s Absolutely by a mere twenty seconds after four hours of close racing. Although not the race that was planned, the buzz at the yacht club was that racers enjoyed the change of pace of the more technical racecourse. The Center Sound Series wraps up with Three Tree Point on March 24 and then the big boat fleet rolls right into the Seattle Yacht Club Tri-Island Series as well as the Swiftsure International Yacht Race, hosted by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. Check back here for reports from those series in months to come.

P RTS OF CALL

Bellingham, Washington By Eva Seelye At the center of spacious Bellingham Bay in the Salish Sea lies the most northern U.S. port city on the West Coast—Bellingham. Just a stroll on the Whatcom Trail away from our Canadian neighbors, Bellingham (B-ham) is a hub for outdoors enthusiasts with Mt. Baker to the east attracting snow and mountain sports fanatics and the sublime San Juan Islands to the west beckoning to us water-driven folk. For the active visitor, kayaking, cycling, mountain climbing, hiking, and trail running plus lakes and the nearby islands are readily available. The more laidback may appreciate Bellingham’s “city of subdued excitement” reputation, complete with many greenspaces, shops, and restaurants. Known for its boat-building industry, Norstar, Sea Sport, All American Marine, Bullfrog Boats, and Strongback Metal Boats are local to the area. B-ham also has plenty of boat and yacht brokers. Fairhaven once housed the largest Pacific salmon processing plant in the world before it moved to Alaska. Bellingham’s traditional industries of agriculture, lumber, and fishing have slowly declined over the years, but maritime still runs strong in its blood. Bellingham’s beginnings in the mid-1800s sprung from a lumber mill and a few settlers. After a couple of coal mines, a short-lived gold rush, and the rumor of a Northern Pacific Railroad linking Fairhaven (Bellingham’s southern district) to the rest of the world, the town as we know it started to take shape. While the falselypromised railroad created our modern-day Bham, a multitude of smaller institutions make it what it is today with Western Washington University leading the way. Downtown Bellingham was built as four original settlements—Whatcom (Old Town District), Sehome (Downtown), Bellingham (Downtown), and Fairhaven—resulting in each section’s distinctive look and feel. If you own a bike, we’d suggest bringing it along, oiling up the chain, and putting it to use—all the locals are doing it.

1. Shocking History The Spark Museum’s collection of rare and unique artifacts from electrical experiments of the 1600s to the Golden Age of Radio in the 1940s is well worth a visit. Take a gander at some of the industry’s original treatises, books, and scientific papers by authors Gilbert, Newton, Galileo, Benjamin Franklin, Bolta, Hertz, and Marconi. We all use batteries aboard, but ever wonder what the first one looked like? Experience Edison’s first creations including the Edison bulb and the “Edison Tube” and come face to face with the world’s first transcontinental telephone. The first Tesla coils and motors also live here, along with one of Nikola Tesla’s most famous inventions: the Tesla lightning machine or the MegaZapper. Four million volts of loose electricity strike from a monstrous Tesla coil to a metal cage surrounding a chair– are you brave enough? Admission is just $8. Visit sparkmuseum.org for more. The Whatcom Museum is another must-see stop. Located in Bellingham’s historical City Hall built in 1892, the Whatcom Museum couldn’t have found a more apt home for its art, nature, and Northwest history exhibitions. For 77 years, the building has remained a popular gathering space for lectures, concerts, and community programs. Bring along your curiosity about the Northwest’s changing landscapes and be prepared to be inspired! Search their website for April’s events including lectures on bird-watching wilderness adventures, local artists and our personal favorite, Whatcom County Historical Society’s monthly presentation on “Model Boats: A Maritime Adventure.” More info at whatcommuseum.org.

2. Wild B-ham Winding through Bellingham are 72 miles of trails with the closest trailhead to Squalicum Harbor starting at Maritime Heritage Park. A paved trail guides you from the waterfront up along Whatcom Creek, past a salmon hatchery, and a small waterfall below the streets of B-ham – a quick dose of nature for those wanting an escape away from the comfort of their vessel. The South Bay Trail connects downtown B-ham with Fairhaven on a beautiful, two-mile paved waterfront trail through Boulevard Park. Cut across the railroad tracks down Wharf Street to the water for a local treasure – glass beach or “trash beach” as the locals say. Sprinkled among the sand are millions of blue, green, white, and brown pieces of beach glass sparkling in the sun. Continue inland to discover the crown jewel of Bellingham’s city parks; Whatcom Falls Park offers 241 acres of waterfalls, hiking trails, and picnic areas surrounded by massive Douglas Firs. The park then opens up to Whatcom Lake.

3. Uncommon Goods From boutique to unique, you’ll find it all here. Third Planet offer incense, crystals, and unusual clothing, and Atomic Kitten brings vintage furniture and art to the Bellingham scene. There seems to be more art galleries than people in B-ham. Local to Squalicum Harbor and a little more up our mariner’s course is LFS Marine & Outdoor. Complete with marine safety and boat supplies, fishing gear, outdoor workwear, and more, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for. Downtown Bellingham’s lively and delicious farmers market just reopened its doors for the season this month. Ranking in the top 10 of Pacific Northwest farmers markets, this is another highly-rated Bellingham attraction. The city’s second market in Fairhaven is set to open in June with great eats, live concerts, and yoga on the lawn. Pick up some fresh goods, a snow cone, or some cool local art to decorate your cabin.

4. Six Block Stop

Fairhaven’s Victorian-style architecture, arts culture, and happy hours make this historical district of Bellingham a hipster heaven. Cozy restaurants, quirky stores, and flower shops line the six blocks of this lively getaway destination on Bellingham’s southern city limits, just north of the gorgeous Chuckanut Drive. A double-decker bus serving fish and chips sitting on the corner of Harris Ave and 11th with the occasional pop-up brewery is one example of the hidden curiosities of this vintage neighborhood.

TERRY DURFEE OF TERRY AND SONS MOBILE P U M P- O U T E N V I R O N M E N TA L S E R V I C E S

“Water is life, and clean water means health.”

— Audrey Hepburn

Terry Durfee Terry Durfee grew up in central Oregon and got into boating later in life. “There isn’t even enough water to swim in, where I come from.” He was introduced to yachting when he and his wife bought a boat and moved aboard. While living aboard, he had to travel to Kirkland to get a pumpout, taking two hours and about $100 in fuel. Knowing that most boaters wouldn’t bother, Durfee purchased a mobile pumpout boat. What was originally just a way to get out on the water more and earn a little extra cash has turned into a full-time job.

88 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

There was a time when boaters didn’t think twice about opening their Y-valves and releasing the contents of their holding tanks right into the water. This was also about the time that secondary treated sewage went right into Lake Washington and the waters were often murky with blue-green algae (actually a bacteria) which would wash up on the shore and give oﬀ a foul odor. Sewage is full of micronutrients, like nitrates and phosphates, which algae and bacteria need to grow. Too much of these nutrients and the algae population grows out of control. If the blue-green algae population is too large, it can kill oﬀ delicate species. and make swimmers ill. In the early 1950s, after much study by a UW zoologist named Dr. Edmondson, it was determined that preventing sewage from entering the water would solve most of Lake Washington’s problems. King County Metro was founded in 1958 to divert waste and handle sewage, and by 1976 the algae problem was largely solved. Today, we don’t have sewage pumped directly into Washington’s fresh waters or Puget Sound, but we do have boaters who will empty their holding tanks wherever they are. The law requires that boats pump out their waste, but it’s always tempting to do things the easier way. Terry Durfee, of Terry

and Sons Mobile Marine Pumpout Environmental Services, believes that if you make it easy for people to do the right thing, they will. He started a mobile pump-out business and brought the service to the boaters. Now, in partnership with the Washington Sea Grant, his company performs free pumpouts in the Seattle area. We decided to talk to Terry about his company and the details of pumpouts. Q: How did you get started doing pumpouts? Well, at the beginning it was just a hobby. I worked for the city of Seattle during the day, I was a civil engineer for the Seattle Department of Transportation. I’d go out on the water every night and weekends and hangout on the boat and I enjoyed it. It was a way to get me out on the water and something I’d never really done before. Q: Why are pumpouts now required? Why not just dump your tank like boaters used to? Well, human waste doesn’t need to be in the water. There are a lot of things that human waste carries that whale waste doesn’t carry. So number one, it’s against the law, and number two, it’s the right thing to do, to pump out, instead of dirtying our waters. Q: Does human waste have an effect on oyster farms, water quality, wild life? Absolutely, fecal coliforms get into your oyster beds, shellﬁsh, and when sewage is dumped into the water it robs oxygen from the water as it deteriorates, it robs oxygen from other plants and animals. Q: What was your business model when you first started? I charged between $30 and $45 depending on how far I had to

travel. I had about 108 customers starting out, regular customers. We’d hang out in Andrews Bay, and we lived aboard so my wife would take the big boat right out there and drop anchor and we’d hang out out there all weekend and do pumpouts. Q: We heard that you were inspired to start a mobile pump-out business by the sheer amount of time and effort it took you to get your boat pumped out. Is that correct? It would take us a good two hours; we weren’t in a hurry with the big boat. Our boat was down at Newport Yacht Basin and we had to go all the way to Kirkland every two weeks and we figured there’s got to be a cheaper, better way to do it. Q: How did you go from being a small business to partnering with the Washington Sea Grant and Washington State Parks? My wife and I decided that we’d had enough of boat life and were going to buy a house and move off the boat, and I thought that I would find other things to do with my free time other than hanging out on the boat. But then, Arron Barnett from Washington Sea Grant got ahold of me and said: “We can’t have you shut the doors, we need somebody out here, have you thought about applying for the grant?” So I did and the state was very helpful in that aspect, and they’d been looking for someone for about ten years to do this, so it was an easy transition, and I took a year’s leave of absence from the city and did pumpouts full time, and now we’re under contract until 2029. Q: What boat were you using at the start of your business? Was it designed

to do pumpouts or was it something you had to modify yourself? My first boat was an Alcar pumpout boat, and it’s still running today. It’s a 21’ Alcar with a 300-gallon holding tank below deck. It kind of looks like a Boston Whaler; it’s not an eye-sore. It just looks like any other boat cruising by. I drove to Rhode Island and looked at a boat and then had it shipped out here just in time for opening day. Q: What did your day-to-day look like at the start of your business and how has it changed since then? It was pretty crazy on the water, we went from 108 customers to 2,000 in a matter of a couple of months. People had known about me and when I was charging, they didn’t really want to pay for it but, now that it’s free, everyone wants it. So that was then and now we’re four, five years into this and I don’t get on the boat much. I have two full-time employees and two-part -time. I spend most of my time out raising donations, because we have a match that we need to raise, a 25 percent match for the grant. Q: Did boaters just find out about you through word of mouth in the first couple of months? In the beginning, yeah, it was just hanging out in the marinas and trying to let people get to know me, and I was a member of a yacht club, so I knew a lot of boaters already. The boating community is very tight-knit community, very large but very tight-knit. The word traveled quickly, especially when I went from charging to free, it really blew up. Washington Sea Grant did a lot of publications for me in different magazines to get the word out. I say we have good coverage of Lake Washington in terms of everyone knowing about us. So the big deal is getting people to use us. This last year, we just hit half a million gallons over the four or five years we’ve been doing this. At 25 gallons a shot, that’s a lot of boats. Q: What does a day of raising donations involve? Well, we take different kinds of donations. We take monetary donations, but our favorite are in-kind donations. Things like moorage or life jackets, two-stroke oil, the kind of thing that we can use in our dayto-day work that also counts as part of the match for our grant. Q: Any thoughts on the proposed No Discharge Zone?

The boats that they’re targeting are a small percentage of boats in Puget Sound. We should be discharging properly, regardless of what kind of system you have. The downside of passing a regulation like that is they’ll never make the systems better if no one is using them. There’s no research and development, so it’s a Catch-22. There are treatment centers out there that do a good job, but those are mostly on larger boats. It’s hard to be on either side. I was never very ecologically thoughtful before I started this, but it’s helped to educate myself on what’s going on out here. It’s a good thing, but there are cons. The people that offer that kind of equipment and services here will obviously go somewhere else. There could be some loss of jobs. Q: Some are concerned that commercial boats with this type-2 toilet set-up will simply decide to go somewhere else. The cost to retrofit some of these boats will be expensive, so that’s the other side of the coin. I think that if they put this into effect they’re going to have lots of money going out for enforcement and inspection, while if you make it easy for people to do the right thing they’re going to do it. You think about how long ago we started recycling. It’s just a change in the thought process that we need. And people, especially in this part of the world, are thoughtful about the environment. The oldtimers will say: “Oh, the whales go in the water! What’s wrong with us?” Education is important. Q: Was making it easier for people to “do the right thing” a reason you started your business?

Terry and Sons Mobile Pump-out Environmental Services Terry and Sons Mobile Pumpout started as just a hobby for Terry Durfee. He noticed what a chore it was to get a pumpout and decided he’d help other boaters in his area. Durfee purchased a pumpout boat from Rhode Island and got out on the water, charging about $30 a trip. Terry and Sons Mobile Pumpout had about 108 customers when Terry decided he was done with the pumpout business. The Washington Sea grant reached out to him and asked if he’d continue to do pumpouts with a grant from the state. Since then Terry and Sons has grown from 108 customers to thousands, one boat to four boats in its fleet, and four employees. With help from donations and grants, Durfee wants to one day offer free pumpouts all over Puget Sound.

When I ﬁrst started it wasn’t really about that, it was a hobby, it was something to do that there was a need for. There are those people that pump out religiously and this just makes things a little easier for them. The ones that never pump out are a little bit of a tougher sell. Q: What do you make of the evergrowing pump-out records? Washington State has put a lot of money through the grants, they have two funds, the coastal fund and the inland fund through the Clean Vessel Program. About $3.5 to $4 million a year, somewhere in that ball park. They’ve put in pumpouts, they buy pump-out boats, they bought us a new boat last year, and that’s were 75% of our funding comes from. So they’re using the money to do what they’re supposed to do. And one thing to remember is that this is a self-imposed tax by boaters, that’s where these dollars come from. It’s good that states are using

it, and it looks like some states are getting more involved than they have been. All the money that’s put into enforcement and regulations could be put into my match and we could have free pump-outs all over Puget Sound. And people will use it. They’ll use it rather than dump waste over-board if you make it available for them, so we try and make it as available as possible. Q: What is the total amount of waste that the program has kept out of the water? I’d have to talk to someone from the state, but I think the record is now 10 million gallons a year, or very close to that. Q: Do you think that will make a significant impact? Absolutely, that amount comes from all over Washington—Chelan, all along the Snake River, the Columbia River. There are a lot of boats, and as the economy gets better, people are using their boats more and the gallons of waste Continued on Page 90

goes up. There are a lot of factors that go into it, but the gallons keep going up and up. They’re breaking records every year in this state and we’re just a small part of that. We’re just over half a million gallons since we started. Q: Is there a set-up or a piece of equipment that boaters can use to make pump-outs quicker and cleaner? Yeah, first, the Washington Sea Grant gives away these little adapters, and we’ve given away thousands; they screw right into your deck ﬁtting and you can attach the pump right to your boat. If you don’t have one of those, the most important thing is always turn on the pump, open the valve, then attach it to your boat. The problem people have is they turn on the pump and they don’t want to make a mess so they leave the valve closed and they put it onto their boat and they open the valve and you get what they call a water hammer and things go everywhere. There are some techniques that a lot of people don’t know, so they don’t want to do it. They’ve heard about what we call the “brown shower,” so people get a little scared about it. If you know what you’re doing, it’s pretty simple.

cut out for us, which is basically Nisqually to Everett, across to Kingston and the Hood Canal. That is the area that we’re free to grow into, but each step has to be approved by the state. And our budget has to grow as we grow, so as long as there are state funds available, we raise our match, and we can ﬁnd qualiﬁed people to operate the boat, we can grow. Because last year we added two boats, we’ve literally doubled our size in the area that we service. Next year we’re possibly looking to expand into Vashon and Hylebos [Marina] and Des Moines, the south Sound area. We can probably service out of Gig Harbor, maybe down into Day Island, Nisqually. One of the things that’s a requirement is that we can’t go into any place that has a service already there, like on Lake Union. They have three guys that have a business [there]. Any place that has a program in place, we don’t even attempt to go in there. We don’t want to put small businesses out of business, because obviously they can’t compete with us doing the same thing for free.

We don't want to put small businesses out of business, because obviously they can't compete with us doing the same thing for free. Q: What are your plans for the future, and how has your partnership with the Washington Sea Grant been so far? They are great to work with. It’s a partnership in both growth and planning. Our initial start-up in Lake Washington was a single boat, then we put a second boat in Lake Washington. Last year we put a boat in Gig Harbor and one in Poulsbo. This year we don’t have any expansion plans, but the following year we’re looking at expanding the area the state has

Q: Do you think the type-2 toilets that have treatment centers onboard are a better option for the environment? Well, the type-2 uses chemicals, and I don’t know if people are still using formaldehyde in those, because that’s not good for the environment. Probably none of the chemicals being used are formaldehyde, but anything we’re dumping into the water like that is just not good for it. Q: Is there any type of toilet that is better than the others?

The setup aboard Durfree's 21' Alcar is simple, yet effective.

Well they have the composting toilets that don’t discharge; some people really like them, but I’ve never been around them. The most common styles of toilets are the macerating, or a vacuum ﬂush style, or a manual. Not too many boats have the type-2 toilets that the lawmakers are looking at. There are some bigger yachts that have an outstanding treatment center. But, of course, even they don’t discharge in fresh water, they discharge in the Sound. You’re supposed to be able to drink the water they discharge, though I don’t know if I would. Q: How can people help you? Well, donations can be given at time of service. We’re a 501-C3 and we try to make sure that we’re responsible with our donations. We have a donation envelope and we give that to our clients, and it’s self-addressed, so if they pop it in the mail, it goes to our accountants. Or they can give it back to the operator. We have a Pay-Pal button on our website: pumpoutguy.com. Q: How can boaters schedule a pumpout? We need to get people registered on pumpout.me, which is the registration program that we use. Once you’re registered you can go to the app. I get text messages, Facebook messages, calls, emails, just about anything you can imagine. That’s how people get ahold of me. But the important thing is getting them registered and making sure we know where they’re at. But then most people just go online and request it, and we pump you out next time we’re in that area. Q: How can marinas help you out? So some of the marinas that donate—there’s Seattle Yacht Club, Queen City, Newport Yacht basin—Liberty Bay Marina donates a slip, the Duwamish Yacht

Club, Jim Clark Marina, everyone on the Duwamish helps out with donations. Stearns has donated life jackets. Six years ago they gave us six really nice life jackets, so we can always use those kinds of things as well. At Seafair they bring out a barge and put a tank on it, about 7,000 gallons, and we fill it up, so the tank, the barge, the disposal, all that is considered in-kind donation. They give me a spot on the log boom to keep my big boat, so I have a place to stay right there, because we’re out there daylight to dark at Seafair. Those kinds of donations are really what keeps our doors open, the biggest portion of our match is in-kind donations. Q: Is there anything people can do, if they can’t get to a pumpout in time, to reduce their impact if they have to dump their tank? Well to keep the tank healthy we recommend Noflex, it oxygenates the sewage and just keeps good bacteria growing which don’t produce odors. It’s legal to dump three miles offshore, but that’s three miles in the open ocean, there’s no place in the Sound because it’s considered in-land waters. Q: Any final thoughts or things you wanted to say? The main thing is to use us. We’re out there, we like what we’re doing, we enjoy it, we’re good at it, my guys love their job. Maybe it seems a little out there as far as jobs, but it’s pretty sanitary and my guys love it. It’s very social, you get to hang out and talk to boaters all day long; everyone loves to talk. I’d say the biggest thing for us is spread the word. The more people that know about us, the higher the percentage of boats we can service. That’s the big thing, just getting the word out there. And, of course, donations are always helpful.

and with it, the need for seasonal maintenance.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein

Continued from Page 59

Bottom fish and lingcod should be kicking this month off the Washington coast. These fish are some great eating treats. Fish n’ chips or fish tacos, it’s all on the menu once you put some white-fleshed fish on the deck. This is also a good time to shake the dust off the skipper’s skill set and get the rust off your vessel. Make sure all systems are go before heading out to the big blue. Even though you may not be running far offshore, anything can happen once you leave the dock.

April is a great time to look ahead and start rounding up gear for May. We should see some good prawning action in the ﬁrst part of next month. Visit your local tackle store and gear up with traps, weights, buoys, line, and bait. Until next month, don’t ride the couch when you can be riding the waves…get up, get out, and go get some!

Kevin’s Pick: For this prawn season, pick up some Beau Mac prawn pots to increase your catch. Beau Mac makes traps in stackable and traditional versions. Both are made to last and keep prawns trapped during a long-lasting soak. Engineered with a biodegradable release system that lets prawns go if the pot is lost, they are also safe to use. They are available in various sizes and prices locally at Sportco/Outdoor Emporium as well as other tackle and sporting goods stores. Check out sportco.com for more info.

We also need large, highquality images for our print publication, so please keep image resolution to above 300 DPI.

Pets on Boats

Our pet of the month is Django McGruder, a four-yearold Great Dane who loves to boat in the Pacific Northwest. He likes to hit the water with his people, the McGruders, on their runabout Summer Addiction. With summer right around the corner, keep an eye out for Django on the water and say hello! 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. 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.

Nomar® Bumpers are a softmounted bumper which absorbs impact and allows you to slide in and out of your slip with NO FRICTION, DRAG OR MARRING of your hull. This makes for a safer & less stressful docking experience by allowing everyone to stay on board. Nomar® Bumpers eliminate the need for fenders & are perfect for tight docking situations and narrow slips. They also allow the vessel closer to the dock for easier and safer boarding.

60 is the new 30 TATOOSH is only a 57 year old Classic beauty. Yet she can romp the ocean blue like a true youngster with grace, style and comfort. We’ve been coastal cruising TATOOSH for the past 28 years, and sailed her across to the South Pacific in 2014. Designed by Ben Seaborn in Seattle, built by Vic Franck Boatbuilding in Seattle, and owned by prominence in Seattle during the 60s70s, TATOOSH then pranced around Hawaii and the South Seas with Peter Fonda at the helm for another decade (clothing was optional).

This georgeous 80 foot ketch has legs! And she still shines and sparkles. I’m thinking one of you 30 year old “techy-whippersnappers” would have an eye for style, be brave enough to cast off your VR headset and get outdoors to smell the salty air. Or perhaps actually live on TATOOSH for maybe way cheaper than a studio apartment in Seattle’s Allentown.

Price reduced to $395,000.

Have questions about how the Classifieds work? Look no further! I placed my ad on January 5, why is it not in the January issue? The deadline for ad submission is the 5th of each month for the next month’s issue. In the above example, the January issue would have come out on January 1.

What is the best way to ensure that my ad ends up in the issue I want it in? Sometimes snail mail submissions arrive too late to be put in the issue for which they were intended. The most efficient way to place your classified ad is to use the very simple form on our website. Just go to the Place a Classified section, upload your photo, type up your copy, and pay via Paypal (you do not need to have a Paypal account to do this, just a viable credit card).

I placed an “Until it Sells” ad, why has my ad been removed from the magazine? If you refer to our “Place a Classified” page, you’ll see that the “Until it Sells” ad will run up to 6 months. However, if the boat sells BEFORE that six months is up, we will remove the ad per the client’s request. The benefit of an “Until it Sells” ad is that you’re paying only $100 more than a one month ad for up to five more months.

March, 1999: The Panamanian-registered, Japaneseowned MV New Carissa was bound for the port of Coos Bay to pick up a load of wood chips in February, 1999, but a storm off the coast made passing the bar impossible. The captain weighed anchor almost two miles off the coast, but the anchor chain was too short, and the boat dragged its anchor all the way to shore, running aground on February 4. Inclement weather only worsened the situation and by February 10, the boat was a write-off. Eventually, the boat broke in two during salvage attempts. The bow was towed into the ocean but broke free, riding back to the shore near Waldport, Oregon. In the end, it took a torpedo from the USS Bremerton to sink the bow, and almost nine years to remove the stern from the beach.

Continued from Page 67

By now, the media had dubbed the New Carissa "the ship that refused to die." On March 8, the tug again pulled the bow off the beach and towed it 300 miles offshore. On March 11, a U.S. Navy destroyer, the USS David R. Ray, fired nearly a hundred rounds into the hulk but failed to scuttle it. Finally, a torpedo from the nuclear submarine USS Bremerton sunk the bow in over 10,000' of water. The stern of the ship was still sitting on the beach and the bill had already reached $35 million. Now the lawyers took over. In April 2001, Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber declared he "didn't want the ship owners leaving their trash in state waters," and demanded the ship’s owner and insurers pay a $25 million bond to the state for removal, plus storage fees of $1,500 per day. The ship's owners filed a $96 million federal countersuit, blaming faulty National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) charts that showed an inshore anchorage, lack of warning by a Coos Bay bar pilot, and large and unpredicted waves.

June, 2008: Titan Salvage breaks up the last of the New Carissa from the barge Karlissa A. Don't let the size of the photo fool you, those center pylons are nearly 15 stories high.

106 NORTHWEST YACHTING || APRIL 2018

Their case was dismissed. The state of Oregon filed suit in 2002 for the removal of the stern, the jury found the owners of the ship guilty of “negligent trespass,” and Oregon was awarded $25 million to pay for the removal of the ship. Titan Salvage founder David Parrot testified that he could remove the stern using his two jack-up salvage barges based on the Gulf Coast. An expert witness for the owner disagreed, saying that severe injury or death was "virtually inevitable." (I had my doubts, too.) The state felt Titan was the only salvage company that met its conditions and a price of $16.4 million was negotiated. In May 2008 the company’s two barges, the Karlissa A and B, arrived in Coos Bay. I later learned from the salvage master Shelby Harris how the barges’ legs were driven into the sand, so that the deck could be jacked high above the wreck. This set-up required a reliable means of daily transportation out to the site for the crew of 20. The state would not allow a pier to be built, a helicopter would be too expensive, and the surf conditions made watercraft impractical. The chief engineer decided the only option was an aerial tramway—the first ever in a salvage operation. He inspected Portland’s system and local ski lifts, then designed and built their own rig to run across the 1,000' of water and beach. How amazing is that? I did a lot of negotiating to get on board and finally arrived early one morning in July 2008 to ride the tram out for my day on board, flying through the air, high above the waves. I met a team of highly-trained divers, proficient in underwater welding, demolition, and a host of related skills. This expert crew were already at work on the remaining 1,200 tons of ship using

cutting torches. The work proceeded for 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week, with everyone wearing safety harnesses. By the time of my visit, much of the ship's structure had been removed, exposing the engine room. Around noon, I watched as the entire machine shop was hoisted onto the small deck barge where it was cut into a pile of flat steel plate. In the following weeks, the effort turned to attaching massive chains from the six hydraulic “pullers” on the barge. When the cylinders were pressurized, they exerted more than 2,000 tons of tension, but the wreck held fast. The next day, the crew rigged a 24" pipe that blew compressed air under the wreck, blasting sand and mud out in a brown waterspout. More than a week passed before the hull finally broke free of the suction and the pullers lifted it about 14 feet. Then cutting resumed, cautiously. By the end of August, the propeller was visible at low tide, and the final hurdle was cutting the keel and releasing the 250-ton diesel engine. When the last trace of the New Carissa was gone, the barges’ legs were jacked up and towed away, and this wild stretch of beach returned to its natural state. Peter Marsh (pictured here alongside the New Carissa) grew up in Greenwich, U.K., 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 atsea-to-summit.net
