FROM THE HELM

E. Pluribus Unum: A Boater's Creed

For what is a perfect summer in the Pacific Northwest? A collection of priceless memories, of course! As this boat-crazy season rises like a wave and begins to crest, I hope you’ve been metaphorically and literally surfing your aquatic ambitions.

Norris Comer I don’t care if we’re talking about taking two months off for that bucket list trawler adventure to Glacier Bay, Alaska, or trying out a stand up paddleboard for the first time on your local lake; pulling off a long-anticipated goal on the water is a conquest to be treasured.

Once accomplished, you’ll start to reflect on your life as a collage of water-based sights, smells, tastes, and sensations. For me, some recently formed memories include a perfect fillet of Kingston king salmon I caught that day, simmering in the pan with lavender I spontaneously plucked from the tabletop vase as impromptu seasoning. Tasty and pleasing to the schnozz! I also think of crossing that long-awaited Race to Alaska finish line after eight days at sea; the helm in my hand.

These memories mature with time, weaving their ways into one’s identity as more are added. You cease to be a common consumer of salmon and become a fisherperson. You stop talking about that one time you went sailing and become a sailor. The epiphany strikes, and you realize that you’ve grown into a deeper, more complex being, not just someone who likes being aboard but rather a self-proclaimed boater. Welcome to the family!

But I warn you, this world is not all sunshine and Jimmy Buffet. What always

happens when we cling to our identities in unhealthy ways? Sailors and power boaters become rag baggers and stinkpotters in each other’s eyes, despite being united in the most important way: a common love for the water. Big boat people and little boat people get snarky at each other, and once amusing dock-talk rivalries become pitched battles in the public forum affecting real policy decisions. We all love our environment, yet often a certain kind of boater is all too eager to throw another kind of boater under the bus, forgetting that we’re all in the same place for the same experience. “Top dog” syndrome kicks in when whatever group has the podium grinds down the others. It always comes around.

Differences are vital to our identities, but they are also a root cause of conflict.

Conflict is the cause of suffering, but also vital to progress. What was once simple, the simmering lavender-scented salmon and gentle shiver of a well-balanced tiller in your hand, becomes part of a much more complicated world.

As I go to sea to build my memories and form my mariner identity, it’s clear that I must stand up for whatever I am. Yet it’s just as vital that I never forget what we are collectively: lovers of this lifestyle made possible by Pacific Northwest waters. Let’s not fight for our identities formed by our own inevitably narrow perspectives, but use our identities as lenses to view the collective fight for H2O Cascadia. We are captains of our souls according to poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley, but we’re also all in the same boat as the timeless idiom goes.

Who is with me?

Originally from Toronto, I moved to Victoria, British Columbia in 1990 after a family vacation where I fell in love with the island and the west coast lifestyle. As a child I grew up on the water, spending summers with my grandparents in Georgian Bay (Ontario). My grandfather

was a fishing guide in those days and I loved to tag along and swim in the lake. There is nothing more rewarding than spending a day on the water, hearing the waves, enjoying the marine life and reeling in a big catch!

My personal time is spent taking long walks on the many beaches in and around Victoria with my dachshund Frankie. My many passions include kayaking, swimming, creative writing, painting, and weekend getaways exploring the many islands and special destinations on Vancouver Island, sometimes with at least one my three adult children. Tofino is a summer must!

Seattle's Season of Aquatic Action Arrives

By Eva Seelye

Seafair, with affiliated events all summer long, has it all: water sports, planes, live music, and basically every summerrelated activity you could think combined in one extravaganza. A Pacific Northwest tradition since 1950, Seafair is so wellloved that it’s become an unofficial Seattle holiday that’s practically synonymous with summer. Over two million locals and travelers alike can’t help but take part in at least one of the 75 sanctioned events over its 10-week span. Hydroplanes race over Lake Washington, the Blue Angels take over the skies with their mind-boggling show routines, and more exciting events are around every marker.

The Seafair Weekend Festival is among Top: Iconic Blue Angels buzzing the full log boom. Bottom: Street celebrations are a part of Seafair too, including the annual Torchlite parade.

16 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

the most popular of all Seafair events and begins Friday, August 3, at 0800 hours in Genesee Park. This weekend highlights the Boeing Air Show featuring Blue Angels, the Albert Lee Appliance Cup featuring H1 Hydroplane racing, the Graham Trucking Seafair Cup, Hyperlite World Class Wakeboarding, Monster Energy’s BMX Stunt Bikes, and more. Eat your fill at the many local food trucks, dance your heart out to live music, and relax by the water’s edge as the wakeboarders compete and the Blue Angels rip through the sky overhead.

Single-day and three-day tickets are available for purchase online at seafair.com and range from $25-$150 depending on your preferences. They even offer a Seafair Weekend + Uber Package deal for those commuting to Genesee Park. If you’re planning to tie up to the legendary log boom, make sure to check out seafair.com for entry points and access closure times.

Wouldn’t want to be stuck on the outside during the races!

Parking tips: If you’re coming from the north, snag a spot at the University of Washington E12 and E13 lots at Husky Stadium for $15 on Friday, $10 on Saturday until 1200 hours, or for free on Sunday. Then hop on the Link Light Rail to the Columbia City station. Coming from the south? Park at the Sea-Tac Airport Garage or another

convenient light rail station to hop your train. There’s a free shuttle that will pick you up at the Columbia City station and bring you to Genesee Park from 1000 to 1730 hours Friday through Sunday. If you’d rather bus it, hop on Route 50, which runs every 15 minutes from 1000 to 1800 hours Saturday and Sunday.

If you’re watered-out (is that even possible?), trek over to Magnolia for their annual Summerfest – an extension of Seafair – for even more entertainment, delicious food, and a sweet Seafair parade. Get a taste of the “Soul of Seafair” at Umoja Fest in Judkins Park in Seattle. Attractions include the AfricaTown Heritage Parade, live music, the Heal the Hood Basketball Tournament, and more accompanied by delectable flavors of the African diaspora.

The Museum of Flight hosts an airborne outdoor festival, Jet Blast Bash, this weekend near the fighter jets’ flight line. Feel the power of the Blue Angels as they take off and land for their show, among other classic cars, eats, kid’s trampolines, etc. The last event of the Seafair weekend is the Lake City Summer Fest & Parade, but Seafair doesn’t end there! Make sure to check out their event calendar at seafair.com/events.

There’s something for everyone! So, pack up your beach bag, sunglasses, sunscreen, and throw on that swimsuit because there’s no time to spare!

My Boat Story

Last Days of the Lihue II

By Peter Marsh

The Port of Ilwaco at the tip of southwest Washington is the center of sportfishing on the lower Columbia River when the famous “Buoy 10” season gets going on August 1. Hundreds of boats and

thousands of fishing enthusiasts will arrive at the harbor hoping for an exciting day on the water and a salmon in the cooler. But unless you are the lucky person who actually lands one, this hardly compares to

the day last April when the harbor was taken over by dozens of officials and a salvage team who arrived by truck, work boat, and barge to help remove a derelict 61’ wooden fishing boat from the marina.

ODOR-FREE Stay on the water longer. Fewer pumpouts are needed with Dometic’s low-water-use MasterFlush™ (0.7 liters) and VacuFlush® (0.3 liters) toilet systems. Dometic’s OdorSafe® Plus hose and innovative holding tank ECO Vent Filter combine to provide a marine sanitation system that is odor-free from start to finish.

Built in 1939 and proudly named after the county seat of Kauai County, the Lihue II had been a successful offshore tuna troller for Hawaiian Tuna Packers, which became part of Bumble Bee Seafoods after WWII. That connection may be why the boat ended up on the Columbia when it was well past its prime. It had become a fixture and an eyesore around the mouth of the river in recent years—until it was abandoned by an anonymous owner last year in Ilwaco in mid-November. He must have suspected something was amiss below the waterline, because his 79-year old boat sank a few days later during a gale on the night of November 18. Fast action by port employees, the Coast Guard, and environmental agencies kept the boat from spilling a tankful of diesel.

The port’s crew placed an oil boom around the wreck site to keep pollution from spreading. Then a team of commercial divers went to work to plug vents and likely leaks, and a contractor pumped the remaining fuel out. It took months to trace the boat’s ownership and insurance—or lack of it—and come up with the funding to remove it safely. Port Manager Guy Glenn Jr. still had to figure out what to do with it before the busy charter sportfishing season picked up. “We’ve been dealing with other derelict vessels for years," he commented, "but never one of this size,” Washington State's derelict vessel program has enough funding to deal with a few small boats per year and only if they are deemed a serious environmental and marine hazard. It was spring before all the details were ironed out, then the nasty weather earlier in April forced the contractor Global Diving and Salvage of Seattle to postpone the operation a couple of times. By the time the weather cleared, the crane barge they had chartered was almost out of time before it had to move on to another job.

Finally, the big day arrived, and salvage master Kris Lindberg stood on the dock in his hardhat, directing a small fleet of boats and equipment manned by the experienced salvage team from Global. The recovery began with a diver working at low tide in the mud to thread heavy yellow slings underneath the Lihue II. The lines were connected to heavy hooks dangling from the crane Continued on Page 20

mounted on a barge supplied by Portland, Oregon based Advanced American Construction. The boom towered over all the masts in the port as the steel cables took the strain of the Lihue II; its rusty iron keel, 300-horsepower engine, and all the water inside the hull.

Once the deck came clear of the murky water, the workers sprang into action and began inserting hoses into the hull. They fired up the row of motorized pumps on the dock, which began to remove hundreds of gallons of dirty bilge water. As the boat’s weight decreased, the crane operator began to hoist it until the entire boat came clear of the water.

Traces of old white paint showed through the mud and slime, with no guarantee that the planking and frames could withstand the short move to the deck-cargo barge at the end of the dock. The crane slowly rotated to back the boat out of its slip, then the water-logged wreck flew through the air and was deposited on the barge without a mishap.

On shore in the port’s boatyard, the demolition paused when a small amount of asbestos was found Removal in progress.

around the boat’s exhaust, which raised the cost of disposal by several thousand dollars. Once that was removed, the crew removed steel and other metal components for recycling; the hull was crushed by an excavator and hauled to the county landfill. That was the last voyage of the Lihue II, which ironically means "cold chill" in Hawaiian. This operation cost about $188,000, with the state derelictvessel program paying about 90 percent of the cost, leaving the Port to come up with $20,000.

When it comes to derelicts, prevention is easier than disposal, as the oyster growers of Willapa Bay, the next inlet up the coast, are still learning. That’s where the former Antarctic research ship Hero is still slowly disintegrating at the dock, a situation I covered in the October, 2017 issue of NWY, which you can read online at nwyachting.com.

Canada Cracks Down on Fish Farms

Not even a full month after Washington approval before their tenure can be renewed, Governor Jay Inslee banned Atlantic salmon and fish farmers must prove to the federal farming from state waters, British Columbia government that their farm will not impact government officials began taking similar wild salmon stock.

A rare right whale dolphin washed ashore Manzanita Beach in Oregon. The Marine Mammal Stranding Network – a group that dedicates their time to understanding and saving stranded animals - was notified as soon as Nehalem Bay State Park staff stumbled upon the deceased creature on the beach. Right whale dolphins are a rare sight with this being one of only four sightings along the Northern Oregon coastline in more than 20 years.

Right whale dolphins look to be a cross between an orca whale and a bottlenose dolphin and were named for their resemblance to right whales. They were discovered in the 1800s but they still remain somewhat of a mystery. The highly-social right whale dolphin can be found across the North Pacific from Japan to Alaska and even as far south as Baja California traveling in groups of up to 2,000. It’s hard to say how many right whale dolphins exist in our waters, but to give you more of an idea, experts from the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary believe there are roughly 14,000 on the North American coast alone. Migratory patterns are unknown, but right whale dolphins have been documented to move as ocean temperatures change each season.

Marine debris and toxic contamination threaten right whale dolphins, but their biggest threat, states Oregon Public Radio, comes from high-sea drift nets, some of which extend ten miles wide and up to 50’ deep. These previously unregulated

fishing nets catch anything that swims into them, and according to experts, they are responsible for 24 to 73 percent of right whale dolphins’ population decline. Today, pinging devices are used on each net to warn cetaceans of their existence.

The 5.5’ female was picked up by the Seaside Aquarium and transported to Portland State University for a necropsy that yielded inconclusive preliminary results.

Even so, the aquarium remains positive in a recent Facebook post. They state, “Though sad, this has given us a unique opportunity to learn a little more about this incredible species.” The cause of death is still unknown at the time of this writing, but further testing is being conducted to determine what happened to this obscure creature.

quality yachts from swiftsureyachts.com From the dock, at anchor or while under sail, some yachts just exude beauty.

Alert is one of them. A Lyman-Morse Seguin 44, she was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and was skillfully built in Maine. Her pedigree alone speaks volumes about how she handles in a seaway and is comfortable to live aboard.

But Alert’s impeccable care and well thought out systems are what make this boat a classic.

Alert’s current owners have shown her an incredible amount of devotion both in detail and in making upgrades to keep her modern, safe and seaworthy. Her interior and exterior wood have been beautifully maintained, and cruising gear includes Northstar AGM batteries, a Harken power cabin top winch, bow thruster, watermaker, Icom 802 SSB and more. To truly appreciate Alert, though, she must be seen. Find out more at SwiftsureYachts.com or schedule an appointment to see her.

Cocktail of the Month

Strawberry Basil Bourbon Lemonade

The sun is shining, the waters are (kind of) warm, and your taste buds are most likely craving an icecold, thirst-quenching beverage.

When we were younger, lemonade was a tasty treat on a sizzling summer day. Then we added (probably too much) vodka in our twenties, but now we’re a little older and a little wiser, so why not get fancy with our summer staple with some strawberry, basil and bourbon? The Strawberry Basil Bourbon Lemonade is fresh, fruity, and delicious for the adults at the picnic. Recipe serves eight.

Plastic Ocean by Captain Charles Moore

By Greg Van Belle

We’ve all heard stories and seen pictures of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), a massive floating island of trash and plastic hovering just northeast of the Hawaiian Islands. Many of us have seen plastic jugs, soda bottles, and grocery bags bobbing on the surface of Puget Sound as we make our way from port to port.

In Plastic Ocean, Captain Charles Moore tells his own story of discovering, documenting, and fighting plastic pollution in our water and on our shores. It is a book of science and conservation to be sure, but it is also a moving series of stories about Captain Moore’s adventures at sea. It is through his love for sailing and the ocean that he found himself immersed in hands-on research into the true sources of plastic pollution. The book is full of surprises beyond the sheer scope of plastic pollution in the oceans. The first surprise: Moore and his colleagues have been actively studying the GPGP since the late 1990s. Why has this massive, 617,763-square-mile floating dump just recently become news? It turns out that part of the problem was figuring out how to study it and how to measure it.

The GPGP sits in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, where the wind seldom blows and where tourists and casual sailors seldom venture. Moore happened upon it on a return trip from the Transpac Race in 1997 and has been studying it on some level ever since.

Don’t worry that this book will be a preachy environmentalist’s creed.

Moore objectively traces the history of plastic development and its introduction into the consumer mainstream.

He lays little blame on a single source, but he definitely sounds the alarm. He makes the case that plastic is killing our oceans and doing as much or more damage than the warming of the water and the increased acidity of our oceans. We no longer live in a country where urban rivers catch fire, thank goodness, and bodies of water like Lake Washington, which used to be too toxic to swim in, have been cleaned up and managed quite well despite the increasing population pressure at their shores. But plastic is pouring into the sea faster than

anyone can measure.

Forget the dramatic scenes of whales and seabirds dying on the shoreline with bottle caps and pacifiers in their stomachs. Yes, much of what is floating out there in the Pacific is post-consumer waste, but that is easy to see and therefore relatively easy to clean up. The more nefarious danger comes from microplastics, most of which are in the atmosphere and in our waterways as a result of the manufacturing and shipping of plastic to the factories that make the doodads we buy every day.

It is little surprise to learn that one of the biggest contributors to the GPGP is the fishing industry.

When trawlers went from wooden and glass floats to plastic and foam buoys, and nets changed from hemp to monofilament, things changed. A lost or cast-off fishing net keeps fishing.

It catches fish and birds, to be sure, but it also catches other garbage.

Perhaps worst of all, it “catches” sea life like barnacles and mussels, which hitch a ride to wherever the ocean currents decide to push it. This introduces non-native and invasive species to any ecosystem in the current’s path.

We can’t go back in time. We can’t go back to World War II and stop the

their boat matters all that much, but it does. After reading this book, we began to rethink our provisioning and refuse practices onboard. We carry fewer packaged foods. What we do buy in plastic packaging we unpack at home before loading it onboard. This allows us to make use of land-based recycling centers and reduces the chances of a plastic clamshell box accidentally ending up floating away in our wake. When we see something floating in the water, we deploy the fishing net and bring it to shore with us. These things all help.

Plastic Ocean is one of the better books I’ve read this summer. It reads like an adventure tale and never

development of petroleum-based materials. We can’t stop DuPont and the rest from delivering plastics to the consumer in the post-war rebranding of military materials.

But what Moore thinks we can do is declare “peak plastic.” From here forward, we know too much to allow the oceans to continue to be polluted at such a rate. And, while the greatest polluters are large corporations, shipping companies, cruise lines, and the military (the U.S. Navy has a terrible track record of dumping trash in international waters, for example), that all changes if the consumer drives the change.

According to Moore, “a consumer groundswell against plastics

A consumer groundswell against plastics is the most potent weapon in the change agent’s arsenal. —Captain Charles Moore is the most potent weapon in the change agent’s arsenal.” If we stop buying plastics at such an alarming rate, less will be produced.

In the face of such daunting, worldwide problems it is hard to imagine that what one of us does on

preaches. It offers astonishing facts and figures but doesn’t rely on them to tell the story or to shock us into action.

Story sticks with us. I don’t remember all the facts and figures from this book, but I remember Moore’s story. I think you will too.

Canada's 10% Vessel Tariff

By Eva Seelye

On July 1, 2018, Canada, in response to the United States’ 10 and 25 percent surtaxes on Canadian goods, imposed 10 and 25 percent sales surtaxes or similar trade-restrictive measures on goods from the United States (U.S.) including steel, aluminum, and vessels.

Up to C$16.6 billion in imports from the U.S. to Canada are now taxed between 10 and 25 percent.

Among the goods affected by the 10 percent surtax are inflatable boats, sailboats (with or without auxiliary motor), outboard motorboats, motorboats (other than outboard motorboats), other vessels for pleasure or sports, automatic regulating or controlling instruments and apparatus, and more.

Everyday items like mayonnaise, chocolate, ketchup, dishwashing detergents, paper. and paperboard are also incurring a 10 percent tariff. Various steel and aluminum products comprise most of the 25 percent tariff list.

These countermeasures are to remain in place until the U.S. abolishes its trade tariffs on Canadian goods. To view the full list of over 120 surtaxed items or to learn more about tariffs on Canadian goods, visit fin.gc.ca.

This was indeed an oops and we’ve made the necessary correction to our digital edition. We at Northwest Yachting magazine felt a little better when Murphy softened the blow for us, “We all make them [mistakes] so you’re not the ‘Lone Ranger’ in making them.” Thanks for keeping us honest, Kemosabe!

change would affect the standards used to determine if high enough levels of waterborne diseases are present, which could cause harm to people using the water for recreational activities like boating.

Ecology currently tests for the presence of fecal coliform bacteria to determine if water is safe. The department is looking to switch to a different test, one that detects E. Coli in freshwater and enterococci bacteria in saltwater. This new test of water quality has already been adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and many states.

States use water quality standards to determine if sewage treatment standards are being met, and to determine what bodies of water require extra monitoring and possible clean up.

“With new science comes an opportunity to better protect human health and understand the environment,” said Heather Bartlett, manager of Ecology’s Water Quality program. “Switching to these more precise test methods will give us the best available tools

to keep people safe.” The change in testing methods was proposed to the Ecology department by a team of technical advisors, made up of representatives from regulated industries, local tribes, and environmental groups.

This proposed change in standards would not affect the tests used by the Washington State Department of Health to determine if shellfish are safe for consumption.

Fecal coliform will continue to be tested in saltwater to determine the safety of shellfish harvesting areas, as per the standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Ecology is now accepting public comment on the proposed change to the rules. The comment period runs through Sept. 14, 2018.

Ecology is hosting five public hearings for this rule proposal, including online webinars and in-person meetings in Tukwila and Spokane. For a complete list of hearings, visit ecology.wa.gov/ Regulations-Permits Business Notes continues on Page 94

Compiled by Norris Comer

Whitehaven 6000 The Australian company Whitehaven Motor Yachts is proud to tout its three versions of Whitehaven 6000, a mid-sized luxury motoryacht family with emphasis on the sleek and sporty. The 6000 comes in three appropriately named flavors: Flybridge, Coupe, and Sunbridge. While the fundamentals and dimensions are the same, the three styles offer very different experiences geared toward their buyers.

Customization is clearly a central part of the Whitehall game.

The layout and guts are the same across all three versions. A large, adjustable, woodtrimmed swimstep with removable railings can be either a huge waterside hangout space or provide access to the tender garage built into the transom. A pair of steps lead from the swimstep up to the cockpit on both the port and starboard sides of the transom. The cockpit takes notes from other popular layouts of modern yachts, complete with seating integrated into the transom

Specs LOA: 62’ 6” • Beam: 17’ 6” • Draft: 4’ 8” Displacement: l74,957 lbs. (Sunbridge Model) Tankage (Fuel/Fresh/Black): 1,200 gals./175 gals./66 gals.

near a dining table and a built-in BBQ. All the designs also include walkways both starboard and port to the foredeck where a large padded sun lounge will be popular during nice days on the water.

The interiors are also similar across the three, but inside the differences begin to manifest. The Coupe differs the most from the Flybridge and Sunbridge versions in that there is a helm in the cabin. The two bridge models do away with the traditional helm-in-the-cabin approach in favor of more seating and entertainment space. All three models have a spacious salon upon entry with ample seating and galley, and all three have below-deck accommodations for a recommended six to eight passengers. As is the luxury motoryacht trend right now, the trio of models have a sumptuous island-style bed in the master suite of the V-berth.

The bridge is where the versions of the 6000 distinguish themselves the most. The Coupe does not sport one,

while the Flybridge hosts the helm and more entertainment space within a glass wheelhouse. The Sunbridge expands the experience to the elements with an open layout. The Coupe is not completely isolated from the wind-in-your face experience with a convertible-style, deployable roof. As far as performance goes, there are a few engine options and standard engines that differ between the yachts and affect performance.

Although these boats have a sport-yacht look, they aren’t meant to be 30+ knot speed machines and will instead max out in the mid-20s.

There’s a lot of choices when it come to the Whitehaven 6000, and whether you are a Coupe, Flybridge, or Sunbridge type of person is up to you. Any way you go about it, these modern-styled yachts seem to offer the cruising and entertaining lifestyle in a sleek-looking, modern package. If interested, you can learn more and request pricing from local dealer Seattle Yachts.

New & Notable Boats

Beneteau Swift Trawler 50 The newest of the popular Swift Trawler line from France-based Beneteau is also their largest, the Swift Trawler 50. With the same stout yet modern good looks as her sisterships, the 50 offers significantly more space for those planning longer cruises or large gatherings.

Upon approach, a notable feature is the hydraulic swim platform that’s also meant to serve as tender stowage when needed. The cockpit is completely covered by the bridge above and can be opened to the elements or closed with roll-down walls as desired. One interesting departure from the previous Swift Trawlers is the foredeck. While there is a foredeck complete with padded sun lounge space, it’s about the same size as the smaller builds and didn’t grow proportionally to the increased

length. This gives the 50 a heavier, more tanky appearance, and of course, even more interior space.

The interior layout separates the salon from the U-shaped galley that’s full of nice surprises. Notable is the “dummy waiter” elevator, which is essentially a chute with food platform that easily transports goodies from the galley right up to the flybridge above. Also interesting is that there are two full-beam master suites both forward in the V-berth and aft made possible by the voluminous design. There are two helms, both in the cabin and above on the bridge. The Swift Trawler family is highly customizable, so open or covered options for the bridge and the like is up to the buyer.

When talking about performance, the manufacturer states that an op-

erator can operate at a fuel-efficient speed of 7 knots while burning three gallons an hour or open it up to a faster cruise speed of around 18 knots with a reported maximum speed of around 21 knots. The performance is made possible by the Volvo IPS system steered with joystick controls that offers good closequarters maneuvering. The option to

fly at around 20 knots is certainly a capability that differentiates it from the classic trawlers of yore.

Overall, if you’re a trawler fan eyeing the Beneteau Swift Trawler line but want more space, the Swift Trawler 50 may just be what you’ve been waiting for. If interested in more info or pricing, contact local dealer Denison Yacht Sales.

Cutwater C-30 Command Bridge There’s quite a few locally-built Cutwater builds on local waters these days, and the newest Cutwater C-30 Command Bridge (CB) is an evolution of the original C-30 pocket cruiser with a sporty look that takes the build in a new direction.

The distinguishing feature of the CB is the open flybridge that works in concert with another helm within the cabin.

Granted, a flybridge on a sporty cruising boat of this size isn’t going to be as large as a slower, beefier trawler of similar length overall, but for those of us who put a premium on the wind-in-you-face feel, the bridge could be the perfect touch. Access to the bridge is granted via a simple set of stairs oriented port from the cockpit. Additionally, simple but functional bench seating is positioned right behind the helm for company. A radar tower or solar array could naturally be mounted up there as well.

The rest of the CB is similar to her sisterships with a few clever additions. The cockpit seating arrangement comfortably accommodates eight adults within striking distance of the swimstep. The galley also conceals cooking appliances beneath a hinged countertop, a nice touch to make the space more versatile. There’s deployable seating on the foredeck for relaxation, but make sure to use the handrails to navigate

the exposed walkways. There are three separate berths aboard designed to host six guests. The CB is powered by a 435-horsepower Volvo inboard diesel engine.

If this locally-made, pocket family cruiser with sporty looks and flybridge experience has your eye, you can reach out to local dealers Sundance Yachts (Seattle, Portland) or Bellingham Yacht Sales (Bellingham, Everett) for more information or pricing options.

Pursuit S 288 The newest model from Florida-based Pursuit, the S 288, recently debuted to a group of Pursuit owners at their annual rendezvous and will likely make its way over to the West Coast as time goes on. The S 288 joins the Sport family of the brand, of which includes the S 408, S 368, and S

Local Dealer: Islands Marine Center Inc., 360-468-3377 Web: islandsmarinecenter.com

328 models that have been introduced over the last two years. These center consoles appear to have sleek design and zippy performance as the focus.

For fans of the brand, the S 288 will be familiar territory. A large fiberglass hardtop and tempered safety glass windshield offer some protection for the skipper and relaxing crew in the aft cockpit by proximity. There’s bench-style seating across the transom for two adults with a similar seating bench oriented back-to-back with the helm seating. The main entertaining area is forward in the foredeck, accessed by deep seated walkways both port and starboard. Once there, you’ve got your pick of many seating options.

As with many center console designs, there’s options tailored to the buyer’s hobbies like an optional ski tow eye. For the

fisherpeople among us, the large in-floor fish boxes and a 24-gallon live bait well will be popular. Although a sporty center console first, there are some more long-distance amenities. A freshwater electric head is stealthily integrated under the console, as is a handheld shower. There’s a clever utilization of space just about everywhere you turn.

The S 288 is powered by twin outboard motors as standard, with the maximum recommended horsepower being 600.

According to the manufacturer, the S 288 cruises at 30.8 miles per hour at 3,500 rpm with twin Yamaha F 300 motors.

If you’ve got center consoles on the brain, you may want to check this one out for island hopping in Puget Sound or chasing down salmon. You can learn more from the local Pursuit dealer Islands Marine Center Inc.

Viking 44 Convertible The Viking 44 Convertible (44C) is the newest addition to the Viking Yachts family. The company flagship is the 92’ version of this convertible, but this half-a-flagship struts much of the same features and quality of her bigger sister. Made to be open-water luxury sport fishers, Vikings are ubiquitous on the East Coast where they are often seen in gnarly weather chasing fish off the coast of New Jersey and flying over calm turquoise seas to the Bahamas.

The 44C looks like a Viking with a similar profile as her peers: sheer lines that run stern to stern, flare on the raked bow, swept-back angle of the deckhouse, etc. The yacht also has a large sheltered working cockpit, rod holders, in-deck fish box, and a live bait well built into the transom. For those not working the lines, a set of steps leads from the cockpit to the hardtop-covered flybridge.

There’s plenty of seating around the helm station to keep the skipper company.

The interior is where the luxury aspect really kicks into gear with a roomy salon

upon entry complete with large L-shaped setee aft. High-gloss juno teak wood finish, brushed nickel hardware and carpeting, and Ultraleather on the seats are a few notable touches. The 44C has a two-head, two-stateroom layout.

The Volvo Penta of the Americas announced that they are supplying twin inboard 1,000-horsepower D13 diesels for the model. In sea trials, the diesels met or exceeded all expectations, according to Chris Landry, director of communications at Viking Yachts. “The boat achieved top

speeds of over 38 knots, with a cruising speed of 32 to 34 knots. The engines provided outstanding acceleration and low-RPM torque, and a smooth, quiet ride.” We haven’t been aboard yet to verify, but if this is all true, the 44C is certainly an all-encompassing performer.

Viking Yachts still retains a signature look that’s been decades in the works, and the new 44 Convertible looks to fit into the lineup nicely. If interested, the West Coast dealer is Stan Miller Yachts. You can reach out to them for more information or pricing.

Cruzing Cam Cruz Kit by Hyndsight

Hey rowers! This product is designed specifically for you. If you’ve ever taken part in this paddle sport, odds are you’ve experienced whiplash once or twice to simply see if you’re headed in the right direction.

If only we could have a pair of eyes on the back of our head (since we’re gliding backwards and all). Sadly, a second set of eyes isn’t feasible (yet), but in the meantime, the Cruz Kit by Hyndsight is a great alternative. It’s a buoyant camera and monitor system uniquely designed to withstand powerful rowing, so you’ll know where you’re headed without ever having to turn around.

The camera is fully wireless, portable, and streams video in real-time with a normal lens to evade image distortion. It’s water resistant and can withstand short-term submersion up to 2' for 15 minutes.

When fully charged, it can last up to eight hours.

Mount the camera on the bow and the monitor on the stern of any sculling or sweep boat to maintain a steady course through the non-glare screen.

The Cruz Kit comes with one fl ush mount, one rail mount, two antennas, two USB chargers, and a cleaning cloth and

all fit nicely into the rugged carrying case that’s included. The best part? This system is approved for use in competition by the USRowing Referee Committee. The monitor measures 7.3” wide by 5” high by 1.5” deep at less than a pound and the camera is 2” wide by 3” high and 6” deep at just a smidge over a half-pound.

When it comes to choosing the mount that’s right for you, consider checking out Hyndsight’s Rowing Accessory Guide – not all boats are the same! Purchase your kit online at hyndsightvision.com for $499.99.

Unleash the Lumens!

Larson Electronics 27W Magnetic LED Light A high-powered light is worth its weight in gold on the water at night or in bad weather. Modern LED lights can offer all the illumination of older gas burning and arc lamps without any of the downsides.

Larson Electronics is now offering a lamp that provides 2,160 Lumens of light in a simple, compact form.

Marketed as the HML-27R-LED, this light features nine LED’s arranged in a circle and emitting 240 lumens each. Powered by only 27 watts at 2.25 amps from a 12-volt electrical system, the lamp offers a 30-degrees flood beam for a large field of view.

Unlike traditional glass bulbs, LED’s do not have fragile filaments that can break during use. LEDs light up immediately, and do not have the warm up and cool down periods associated with older lamps. Gas-burning

44 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

and arc lamps contain harsh chemicals and heavy metals like mercury, but LED’s do not. LED’s are completely recyclable and non-toxic.

The HML-27RLED is attached to a 3.25’’ diameter base with 100 pounds of magnetic grip. A 5" pistol-grip style handle allows the user to easily aim the light wherever it’s needed, and the hinge bracket keeps the light in place until it needs to be moved again.

The lamp is connected to a power source via a 16’ coil cord with a cigarette plug, ring terminals, or power clamps. The lamp comes in either a 12- or 24-volt configura-

tion, allowing it to work in any vehicle with a cigarette plug.

Rated waterproof up to 9', resistant to rough weather, and with a temperature range of -40° F to 185°F, the HML-27RLED will be able to stand up to any conditions.

The casing is sealed from dirt and made from extruded diecast aluminum.

The lenses are made from an ultra-tough polycarbonate. If you’re looking to upgrade your vessel’s light system, check out the latest LED options from Larson Electronics. Available on larsonelectronics.com from $246.

Short Take

Rub-A-Dub Style Rub-A-Way Odor Neutralizer Almost every delicious recipe includes a little garlic and onion, but after prep's done, it’s next to impossible to rid your hands of the stubborn stench. The Rub-A-Way bar by Amco Houseworks can help with that. This high-quality, stainless-steel bar resembles a bar of soap, and when rubbed between your hands underwater for 30 seconds, the persistent odors dissipate.

The molecules in the steel bind with the sulfur molecules clinging to your hands are largely eliminated in seconds.

Finished cleaning your catch of the day? Rub-A-Way removes smelly fish and seafood odors too. It is important to note, however, that the Rub-A-Way bar is an odor neutralizer and doesn’t clean your hands like conventional soap. Find yours at amcohouseworks.com/rub-a-way-bar or on amazon.com from $8.49.

Ropin' the Wind

Vaavud™2 Pocket Wind Meter Who needs to know wind speed and direction while sailing? Well, to put it simply, everyone.

While throwing a wet finger in the air works for some, others may like more precision. If the latter is true, the Vaavud™2 may be just what you need.

This wind meter is an iPhone attachment that, when combined with its app, delivers reliable and accurate meteorological information. The Vaavud ™2 features a durable plastic rotor with a stainless-steel axle complete with a compact blade design inspired by vertical wind turbines.

The turbine rotates above a low-friction bearing.

The Vaavud™2 was tested in the Technical University of Denmark’s wind tunnel and has a 4 to 78-knot wind range (2 m/s up to 40 m/s). Because of the blade’s unique design, it’s less sensitive than other impeller wind meters to its position against the wind, making it more efficient and much easier to use.

To use, download the free Vaavud™ App, simply hold the wind meter up to the wind, and start measuring. After your measurement is complete, easily read your meteorological summary. Discover the barometric pressure, temperature, wind chill, and “gustiness” from your measurement and view your previous measurement history.

The Vaavud™2 is available at westmarine.com/buy for $59.99.

Sanitation Simplified Albin Manual Marine Toilet We all get excited about the latest and greatest marine tech, but it’s the simple things that make life on boats possible. A reliable toilet for the head aboard is probably something you don’t think about until you need it.

Albin Marine is offering a new line of manual marine toilets with a compact design that makes it possible to have the comfort of a water toilet on crafts of all sizes. The toilets from Albin feature white vitreous porcelain bowls and a manual flush pump with ergonomic handle.

Available in three sizes— Compact, Compact Low, and Comfort—the toilets are easy to set up and are ideal for do-ityourself enthusiasts. The Compact and Compact Low models are fitted with white wooden seats, while the Comfort model is fitted with a soft-closing thermoplastic seat.

The toilet bases are interchangeable with other common manual toilet models, and all

The full-sized Comfort is 18.1" L x 13.2" H x 18.5" W and weighs 22 pounds.

Get Lifted Lift eFoil No surfing experience? No perfect swell? No problem! With Lift’s eFoil, you can forget about relying on rad breaks for a sweet ride or towing assistance; even paddling is no longer relevant with this hydrodynamic, torpedo-designed, electric propulsion unit for surfboards. With this new-age surfboard, a battery-powered eFoil sits underwater and propels riders of all skill levels to speeds up to 25 mph.

The craziest part? You’re not gliding on the water’s surface, you’re flying above it.

The creators set out to develop a product that combined all their favorite sports—surfing,

flying, and deep powder snowboarding—into one design. Catch a wave or cruise a calm bay, the opportunities are endless!

Liftfoils.com recommends beginning by laying on the board to get a good feel for how it moves and to master its hand-controlled throttle. Then, slowly rise to your knees and eventually to your feet as you feel comfortable.

To elevate your board, slowly accelerate while shifting your weight back until the board is safely above the water.

Once it’s elevated, you’ll need to shift your weight forward once again to truly start flying.

The board only lifts when it’s above a certain speed, and like most board sports, it turns as you shift your weight. When your board is lifted, it should turn seamlessly. To stop, release the throttle. If you’re running low on battery, don’t freak out, you’re not shark bait. Your eFoil will slow back to a low power setting until you can safely return to land.

Choose between two boards: The E1 is the larger of the two with better stability and flotation, and good for less experienced riders up to 250 pounds; or the E1 Sport, which is designed for water sports enthusiasts up to 185 pounds who enjoy maximum maneuverability.

Because of its corrosion-resistant materials, these systems require little to no maintenance.

It’s recommended to inspect them for damages that could affect the way you glide, but other than that, a simple freshwater wash and shaded storage is all you need to keep your Lift eFoil in solid condition.

Lift eFoils require a $6,000 deposit towards its $12,000 price upon purchase. To find out more, order yours, or watch an engrossing demo video, visit liftfoils.com.

You Jelly?

Orbit 20 Desktop Jellyfish Aquarium/Tank We know what you’re thinking: you want a pet jellyfish. Don’t we all? Now, it’s possible to keep a collection of little “squishies” (as Dory from Finding Nemo likes to call them), right next to your other desktop keepsakes.

The Orbit 20 Desktop Jellyfish Tank/ Aquarium has a built-in, low-maintenance filtration system, an included pump, a hydrometer, feeding baster, and filter media for any juvenile or smaller jellyfish species. It even comes with a color-changing LED light and remote control with 15 light settings.

The system features a circular flow to keep your jellies away from the filtration system and water outlets. The water flows

into the outlets that are hidden beneath the outer ring of the aquarium, passes through a filter sponge to remove any uneaten food or detritus and then flows over a porous ceramic bio media to break down all remaining unwanted chemicals before re-entering the main holding tank.

External connections allow additional equipment such as a chiller or in-line heater and external filters if need be. Keep up to ten juvenile jellies or three small (8 cm by 3") in this 6-gallon tank. Suggested retail price is $389. If you've got jellyfish on the brain, check out some tank options at cubicaquarium.com.

Grill to Go UNA Portable Charcoal Grill Barely bigger than a shoebox, grills don’t get any more portable than the UNA Grill. “UNA” means “one” and “together,” which seems to describe their ultimate purpose well: versatility.

This pint-sized charcoal grill can be easily carried in one hand or slipped into a backpack. Just think of the possibilities; burgers with a view at the end of a long hike, a quickly-packed setup for effortless tailgating, or a spontaneous cookout on a pristine beach you spot while cruising.

50 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

The idea sizzled while the founder, Sherif Soubra visited his brother on the Ivory Coast.

They wanted to celebrate their reunion with a delicious barbecue feast. With no grill in hand and ready to go, their father improvised with his own do-it-yourself grill, which ended in a scorched tabletop. His father’s prototypes became Soubra’s inspiration for the UNA Grill.

The UNA Grill is assembled from five pieces. The case of the grill, which serves as

the grill’s main body, is made from high-temperature coated stainless steel. An ash collector fits into the case, a charcoal grate fits over that, and a cooking grate rests above the charcoal.

A lid fits over everything else, keeping all the components together while you’re on the move.

A leather carrying handle is the only component that is not stainless steel. The lid can be flipped and attached to the bottom of the grill, lifting it into the air and away from any surface that might be scorched by the heat. The case is black, but the lids offer a splash of color with offerings in Pastel Blue, Cream White, Red, Graphite Grey and Turquoise.

A sunken cooking grate keeps food from falling off the surface while grilling, and divots along the sides serve as rests for skewered meats and vegetables. The grill measures 17’’x 4.2’’x 6.6’’, which means you could cook about three average-sized burgers at a time. All the components (except for the handle) are made from stainless steel and can be cleaned in a dishwasher. Don’t let the best grilling weather pass you by, take advantage of summer with the UNA Grill, available on amazon.com and store.moma.org from $139.

At West Yachts you pay only 8.5% sales tax, no matter where you live.

Ferreting Out the Fish Garmin ECHOMAP™ Plus Echomap Plus models debuted at the last Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show as the next step in Garmin’s Echomap chart plotter/sonar model lineup. Less of a complete overhaul and more of a slight tweak to the popular Echomap family, the Plus models have a lot to offer boaters of all sizes and budgets.

When talking about Garmin’s Echomap Plus, the display sizes are a natural topic to open with. The Pluses come in 4”, 6”, 7”, and 9” displays, which contrasts a bit from the original Echomap lineup (the Plus 6” replaces the original 5” model, for example). What’s cool about these units is that the capabilities don’t vary dramatically depending on size, so the 4” unit that resembles a handheld device has the same software, buttons, and general utility of the largest device.

The different sizes do pair with different transducers (the 4” with the CV20-TM Transducer as standard, the 9” with the CV52HW-TM Transducer), so perhaps there is a slight difference in overall data gathering firepower. Nevertheless, regardless of size, you’ve got the Echomap experience at your

disposal, and the size is mostly a personal preference.

But size isn’t all that matters. What can the Echomap Plus family do? Short answer: a lot. All units come with Garmin’s suite of pre-loaded basemaps, like BlueChart G2 (US Coastal waters), Worldwide Marine Basemap, LakeVü HD, and more. The paired transducers themselves are part of the appeal as well, for you can go with traditional CHIRP sonar or up the ante with side view (Garmin’s patented Side Vu) scanning sonar. The units are also compatible with the bleeding edge Garmin Panoptix “allseeing” sonar that can even look forward (pretty cool stuff).

The Echomap Plus line features built-in WiFi that allows the units to communicate with other systems aboard (examples include NMEA 2000, a Fusion-Link audio system, and/or a tablet) and pairs with apps like ActiveCaptain (and through it OneChart, a digital chart store), Garmin Quickdraw, and more. Quickdraw allows the user to create his or her own custom maps, for example, by overlaying fish signals onto a contoured

chart. There’s a lot of tech in these compact devices, and the emphasis on connecting the user to a greater online community is a trend towards tapping into crowdsourced knowledge.

The actual design of the Echomap Plus lineup is also a win: rugged with a simple button-assist array and sunlight-readable touchscreen. Garmin, unlike many smartphone companies with their increasingly lighter and fragile devices, is about utility on the water, and that’s a good thing. All the models are built to be easily unplugged from a single cable connection in the mount and transported at a whim, making them ideal not only for larger yachts, but also mobile fishing machines or even kayaks.

The best part may just be the price. If you’re just looking to get in the game, the 4” Echomap Plus 44cv with standard transducer is $349.99. The price point increases with size, the largest 9” model with standard transducer is $1,099.99. Sonar for the people!

If curious, you can check out Garmin’s new Echomap Plus lineup at garmin.com.

Here we see the Echomap Plus lineup with screen sizes ranging from the smallest (4”) to largest (9”) with prices ranging from $349.99 to $1,099.99.

Sail Like a Girl Sailing Like a Boss

After thousands of hours of boat work, training, fundraising, and planning, we set off on a journey of self-discovery, challenge, simplicity, and fear as a team of women to tackle the 750-mile race to Alaska. We wanted to complete the R2AK and leave nothing on the table. We stood together to push ourselves and each other to the limits. We cared for each other and the boat to tease out the greatest in all as we pushed our way northbound. Coming in first for me was the result of blood, sweat, tears, preparation, and perseverance. But even more, it was the beautiful result of working together and embracing what it means to hold each other up and to seek the best to bring together a force of a team. Putting this strength towards a singular goal showed us that we can achieve something grand. The greatest reward was not first place, but the change we each feel at our core. We hope that in working together in this world, we can make a difference and achieve the impossible.

Kevin’s Catch

By Kevin Klein

Summer Heats Up: Salmon, Tuna, Crab, Oh My! The heat is on and so is the fishing in the Pacific Northwest! Salmon, tuna, crab… all lined up for you to bring home the eats this time of year. Doing it all while getting a tan makes being on the water that much sweeter.

Chinook salmon are the big draw in August, kings as we call them in the States or springs as they are referred to in Canada. Catching a 30-pound Chinook is very possible this time of year. Many spots in our local waters and beyond still have large fish coming through. You don’t have a shot if your line isn’t in the water, so do your research and go get some fish!

Don’t be afraid to try shallow and/or deep for these behemoths. I’ve seen big kings caught at 30’ or 300’ down on the downrigger cable. Use your electronics, for a good sounder is invaluable. If you see a big fish mark down deep, let out the cable. This won’t always produce strikes, but when it does the feeling is pretty sweet. Mission accomplished!

Towards the end of August, coho salmon will make their appearance. Also known as silvers, these fish are aggressive biters and crazy fighters. You don’t have to use

T

Clockwise from top right: Dungies make a great August feast; Some big kings roll through our waters this time of year - here’s Gretchen Dearden with a beauty; the author with a Chinook straight from the San Juans.

any advanced techniques on this silver horde. Hootchies and spoons, 36” to 48”, behind a flasher will work. Try to downrigger troll a bit faster and a bit shallower than for kings. But if you mark fish on your sonar, drop down and go get ‘em. Nothing beats a jumping, cartwheeling coho on the end of your line for producing grins!

You may even catch a sockeye when fishing for kings or coho. Make sure and study a salmon identification chart before you go. Sockeye will have large bright, glassy eyes and are almost toothless. They have no spots on their tail or back. Conversely, Chinook will have large sharp teeth, a black gum line in the mouth, and large spots on their back. Coho can sometimes be confused with either.

A silver’s mouth is light with a white gum line and has small sharp teeth.

I also get excited for Dungeness crab in these summer months. Find a sandy bottom next to some structure in 30’ to 60’ of water and drop the pots. I like to use my salmon heads and carcasses for bait. The crab love them and nothing goes to waste. Try crabbing on a slightly moving flood tide for a few hours during the day if you can.

Sometimes this can be more productive than leaving pots overnight. Some folks who think their crab were taken really just had the crustaceans climb out after the bait was gone. And some who are convinced their pots were stolen were just victims of strong tidal currents that swept the traps away. As always, make sure and double check the regulations for the area you plan to crab or fish.

Updates and rule changes will be posted online on the websites of governing agencies. Know before you go!

There will be a couple very cool salmon competitions on the Northwest Salmon Derby Series’ roster this month. First off will be the Brewster Salmon Derby, August 3-5, out of Brewster, Washington, at the confluence of the Okanogan and Columbia rivers. This event encompasses fishing for Chinook in the Brewster pool of the Columbia River. These upriver kings can be large and hard fighting. Cash and prizes worth $20,000 will be up for grabs in this freshwater tournament. Go to brewstersalmonderby.com for more info.

Next up will be the Vancouver Chinook Classic, August 18 and 19, at the Deckside Marina and Pacific Gateway Continued on Page 92 A lifelong resident of Washington State, Kevin Klein has been on the rivers, lakes, and salt waters of the Pacific Northwest since conception. A founder, president, participant, and occasional winner of regional salmon derbies, Kevin can be found promoting sport fishing, and giving seminars on tips and techniques to become a better fisher person. Any given day, you may find Kevin plying the waters of the Northwest, looking for fun and fish.

On Watch

By Peter Schrappen

Trade War a Disaster for American Boating T

60 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

eye-popping 167.16 percent on common aluminum sheet imports from China. Combining the three-headed tariff monster (anti-dumping, countervailing and the marine products tariffs) together, that’s a 210 percent tariff on Chinese aluminum. And to what end? It’s not like the Chinese will just sit back and not raise tariffs on their imports. I suspect they could find one or two examples of slights they feel on goods entering their country. Adding even more to this precarious situation, it’s a good reminder that Washington is the most trade dependent state in the country. Cherries, anyone?

Let’s just say this horse is making some noise in the hospital. And the other horses from other hospitals are responding in kind. As a result, the global price of aluminum has increased 20 to 30 percent. In addition to increased costs of manufacturing materials and components, Canada, the European Union, and Mexico – which account for 69% of annual U.S. boat exports responded by applying retaliatory tariffs on all boats comprised of aluminum.

The timing of this disruption could not come at a more booming time for the boating industry. Looking at preliminary numbers for Washington state, boat sales are up 60 percent in dollars from the second quarter last year and up 5 percent in units. This news complements what the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) is seeing nationally: boat sales have hit a ten-year high.

I’ll give the national head of the boating industry the last word here.

This Washington-built Cuddy Thom Dammrich, NMMA King, seen at a European boat president, doesn’t hold show in 2017, may cost 30 percent more to build and 10 percent or back when he says, “Simmore for foreigners to buy. ply put, these tariffs are a disaster for our industry.

All types of recreational boats are on the retaliatory lists from both Canada and the EU. As a result, rather than protecting American manufacturing, these tariffs directly harm the entire recreational boating industry—one of our country’s enduring American-made industries. To make matters worse, Canada, Mexico, and the EU are the top three export markets for American-made marine products and in 2017, they accounted for nearly 70 percent of marine exports.”

Photo: kamski/Bigstockphoto.com

“There’s a horse loose in the hospital” is how comedian John Mulaney in his latest Netflix comedy special describes what’s going on at the national level when it comes to the current president’s maneuvers. Mulaney goes on to explain that sometimes the horse is quiet and other times he’s charging around – the larger point is that this era of history is one of change and disruption, and you may not always get what you think you wanted.

When it comes to tariffs and the president, I would posit that he is 100 percent following through on his long-held beliefs that current trade deals mean that the U.S. is on the losing end.

According to him, the way forward, while many economists would disagree, is to levy tariffs on imported goods.

If tariffs aren’t something you are too familiar with and are even less sure as to why a column on boating is covering this topic, let me back up a little. A nice working definition of a tariff is a tax on goods coming from another country. You may be surprised to learn, as I was, that the president has a great deal of latitude to issue tariffs without congressional approval.

And this is where recreational boating production enters the conversation. Of all the industries in the U.S., the country’s $36 billion boating industry is the only one that faces a triple whammy.

First, there’s the tariff on steel and aluminum (that’s Tariff 232 for those keeping score). Then, there’s an anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese aluminum sheet and lastly the tariff on 300 marine-related products (and we are talking about the guts of boats here like engines, propellers, fuel injection pumps, and on and on). All this uncertainty, tough talk, and anti-free-trade measures results in rising costs of raw materials, component parts, and retaliation from our top trading partners. Put another way, economists don’t agree on much, but one thing that does bring them together is that no one wins by raising tariffs.

Widening the lens even more, it’s always a good idea to underscore just how uniquely American boating is for those who take to the water. As Northwest Marine Trade Association’s President George Harris likes to say whenever he can, “Boating means business.” And it is big business for family-run smaller operations sprinkled throughout the Northwest and, in particular, rural areas.

Taken collectively, boating contributes $39 billion in annual sales and supports 35,000 marine businesses (about 2,000 just in Washington). There are 12 million registered vessels in the U.S. (with Washington contributing about 250,000 to that number).

So how do these tariffs affect boating again? Aluminum sheet is the primary material used in recreational boating. The Commerce Department announced on June 18 an anti-dumping duty (paid at the time of import) of an

By Bill Shaw

A Crabtastic Summer For a local seafood fanatic like myself, it’s just not summer around here without plenty of Dungeness crab. As the executive chef of Roche Harbor Resort on San Juan Island, whenever I get ready to make these signature Dungeness Crab and Artichoke Dip or Dungeness Crab Bisque recipes, I can’t help but smile at the many memories I have with these time-honored dishes. It’s amazing how closely taste and memory are connected.

In late summer of 1993, I boarded a Kenmore Air seaplane bound for Roche Harbor to interview for the executive chef position I hold today. When I arrived, the beauty of the gardens and sounds of the busy harbor overcame me, but what really grabbed my attention was the roar of laughter coming from a little bar on a deck over the water.

Inside, a server who surprisingly was an old friend from Seattle who had been working at Roche during the summer seasons.

I asked her what she thought were the best things on the menu and she replied without hesitation, “You have got to have the Dungeness Bisque and a Fluffy Duck.” The bisque was rich, creamy, loaded with crab, and had some smoky heat from the Spanish paprika. After my interview, I celebrated with a Fluffy Duck cocktail, and the Dungeness Crab Bisque has continued to

F

be one of our most requested recipes, unchanged from my first day at Roche Harbor.

The dip recipe here is not only delicious on its own, but also as an ingredient. Many restaurants have a menu item that was inspired by this basic recipe created in the 70’s by Joan Komen, beloved wife of Rich Komen, and current co-owner of Roche Harbor Resort. Roche Harbor hosts many boat owner groups throughout the summer season and one of their favorite events on the first night is a potluck appetizer party. I have been honored in the past with judging the best appetizer of the event. A few variations of this recipe are always in the competition. A common mistake is adding excess crab (it’s true, there is such a thing!) or use a mayonnaise that is not made with egg yolks. Eggs are an amazing ingredient and are essential to this recipe because when baked together the crab and mayonnaise make a savory custard-like spread. Too much crab (or other ingredients) will change the egg-to-ingredient ratio resulting in an oily disappointment.

Bill Shaw is the head chef of Roche Harbor Resort and Marina of San Juan Island. Shaw has worked at Roche since 1993. He loves utilizing local ingredients and takes full advantage of the area’s seasonal goods.

Dungeness Crab and Artichoke Dip ½ cup fresh Dungeness crab meat, drained ½ cup artichoke hearts (unmarinated), coarsely chopped into ½” pieces ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded ¼ cup yellow onion, peeled, cut into quarter sections, then sliced paper thin

1 cup egg yolk-based mayonnaise (Best Foods brand strongly recommended) 1 teaspoon Italian flat-leaf parsley, minced 1 each fresh lemon 1 fresh baguette

Combine Dungeness crab, artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, yellow onion, and mayonnaise in a medium bowl and mix well. Wrap and hold in refrigerator until needed. Place desired amount of crab mixture in heatproof ramekin and place in a 400-degree oven until an internal temperature of 140 degrees is achieved or browned on top and bubbling. Top with parsley and lemon slice. Serve with warm sliced French bread.

Dungeness Crab Quesadilla ¾ cup fresh Dungeness crab and artichoke dip (see recipe) 6” flour tortilla, gordita style (2 per person) 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded

4 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded 1 each Roma tomato, seeded and chopped fine 3 Tablespoons butter

Divide crab mixture in half and spread on half of each tortilla. Top with cheddar & Parmesan cheese followed by diced tomato. Fold filled tortilla in half. Wrap and hold in refrigerator until needed. Heat skillet or griddle on medium heat. Melt butter and place crab filled tortilla in buttered griddle or pan for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Turn and repeat. Place golden crab quesadilla on cutting board and cut in fourths. Place crab quesadilla slices on heated plate and serve with lemon, salsa, and lime-sour cream if desired. Serves four.

Dungeness Crab Bisque Serves 6, 12-ounce servings

Crab base can be purchased at gourmet food stores or online. Minor’s brand (no added MSG) is what I use in the kitchen, and when refrigerated it can last up to 275 days. Bisque can be made 2 to 3 days ahead of time by leaving out the milk, whipping cream and Dungeness crab meat, then covering with plastic wrap and storing in your refrigerator.

1 medium carrot, peeled and rough cut 1 celery stalk, rough cut into 1” pieces 1 medium red bell pepper, cored and seeded, rough cut 1 medium green bell pepper, cored and seeded, rough cut 1 yellow onion, peeled and rough cut 1 clove of garlic, chopped 1 ounce brandy 2 tablespoons Spanish paprika 1⁄4 cup Old Bay Seasoning® 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, ground Dash cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped ½ teaspoon chives, fresh cut 1/8” 1 teaspoon tarragon, fresh – finely chopped 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon crab base 1 ½ cup milk 2 ¼ cup heavy cream 6 ounces Dungeness crab meat, fresh 1 tablespoon chives, sliced 1⁄8”

Place vegetables and garlic into food processor. Using the pulse button, pulse the vegetables 5 to 7 times to create a fine mince. Place a heavy bottom 5-quart saucepan over medium heat and add processed vegetables and the fresh herbs. Continue cooking until the vegetables are al dente or firm to the bite. Deglaze the vegetables with brandy. Deglazing the pan detaches the flavorful cooked on pieces away from the bottom of the pan.

Meanwhile, place a saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter. When butter is melted, add flour and whisk together, forming a roux. Continue cooking the roux for 4 to 5 minutes or until the color begins to darken. Allowing the roux to slowly cook over medium heat creates a nutty flavor that enhances the flavor in soups and sauces. Reserve the roux for the next step.

Add paprika, Old Bay Seasoning, black pepper, cayenne and crab base to the deglazed vegetables and continue cooking over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add milk and whipping cream. Continue stirring until the bisque reaches a temperature of 160 degrees.

Add the reserved roux to the bisque and reduce heat to low. Continue cooking bisque until a temperature of 180 degrees is achieved (approximately 30 minutes). Stirring frequently to avoid scorching. The bisque should be thick in consistency. When ready to serve, ladle bisque into soup bowls and garnish with fresh Dungeness crab and chives.

Extra: Crab Crostini ¾ cup fresh Dungeness crab and artichoke dip (see recipe) 16 French baguette slices, sliced ½” and toasted with garlic butter

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded 3 each Roma tomato, sliced in 1/8 “ 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped fine

Place toasted baguette slice on sheet pan. Top each bread slice with sliced tomato, followed by 1 tablespoon of crab mixture and Parmesan cheese. In a preheated 350-degree oven, place crab crostini on center rack and bake until golden. Sprinkle with parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

Crab Pot Macaroni and Cheese 1/3-cup Panko bread crumbs 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (For first step) 1 tablespoon Italian flat leaf parsley, finely chopped ½ teaspoon fresh garlic, minced 3 Tablespoons butter melted

4 cups ziti pasta, cooked al dente (Firm to the bite) 4 cups garlic cream sauce 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated (For second step) ½ lbs. Dungeness crab meat

Combine breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic and Parmesan in a mixing bowl and slowly drizzle melted butter while stirring the breadcrumb mixture. Continue to stir the crumb mixture until the butter is evenly distributed and absorbed by the breadcrumbs.

In a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic cream sauce, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan to the pan. When sauce begins to bubble, add pasta and continue cooking until the pasta is warm. Place the heated pasta and cheese in a heatproof baking dish. Sprinkle the Dungeness crab meat over the top of the pasta followed by the au gratin topping, allowing the crab to peak through. Place in a 350-degree oven and bake until the au gratin is browned and the center of the pasta is hot.

We use ziti pasta because it is an unusual shape of pasta and works well in a busy sauté station in our fastpaced Madrona grill, but any medium-sized pasta shape will work perfectly.

More than 100 miles west of the Grays Harbor Bar of Washington, I was in a battle of life and death, flaked silver with fish scales and splattered with matador-red blood.

To clarify, it was not my life on the line, but rather the dozens and eventually hundreds of albacore tuna I would haul in that day as a deckhand aboard the allwood commercial tuna troller Anchor. We

M

followed the telltale sign of diving birds to get here and now bobbed in the soup.

Shark fins and leaping fish confused the water around us as hordes of seabird missiles dove through whale breath and ocean spray.

The seas built, and large swells rose to starboard like fantastical, dimensionless aquariums with dolphins zipping through at eye level. The heaving pri-

more complex, Kurt had a new jack pole [more on these later] he wanted to try out, and I was whipping that thing in all kinds of directions. I hooked a tuna on the pole, lifted the sucker out, and threw him clear over my shoulder and across the deck. One of the outrigger lines grew taut, and I flipped on the hydraulic winch to slowly bring it in.

Another of the short lines grew taut and I leapt to pull it by hand. Two more lines grew taut on the other outrigger. I flipped the switch to stop the first outrigger line just in time to deal with the newly hot lines while I continued to get mangled by the fighter on the short line in my hand. Another short line grew taut and the now abandoned jack pole at my side almost went overboard as I flailed about. The game of whack-a-tuna was in full swing.

“Fish on!” I yelled, my code word for, “For ****sake, help!!!” Kurt appeared at my side and began to level the odds. Minutes then hours passed as the insatiable albacore swarm took the hooks as fast as we could put them back in the drink.

Nature roiled around us, a God-sized gumbo of whale flukes and flashing fish armies.

As suddenly as they were on, they were gone, and with them the entourage of the rest of the food chain. I, arms rubber and hands raw, stumbled over the carnage on deck. Bright red blood gathered in gory pools where dozens of tunas still fought. I gathered them

up for the frozen hold below, each one renewed to battle in my grip to a bruising last stand. Shaped like a torpedo with a pair of pectoral fins that could’ve been designed by Boeing, albacore pack as much power as one could cram into an animal’s design. The sharp little finlet spines that line the tail nailed my hand more than once.

My work finally done for the day, I picked a good tuna for that night’s dinner; lightly seared albacore on a bed of jasmine rice with a hint of soy sauce and squeeze of lemon. Welcome to Albacore Alley.

Albacore 101 For anglers ranging from the complete novice to the lifelong junkie, albacore tuna fishing in the Pacific Northwest stands as a common bucket list item.

Tuna as recreational quarry are the quintessential open water fishing experience around these parts, associated with the wildest, deepest and bluest waters of the North Pacific. Once found, schools of feeding albacore get “on the bite” and eagerly chomp and run with almost anything that they come across, making for a thrilling experience.

Throw on the fact that freshly-caught albacore is flat-out delicious and that line trolling/rod caught U.S. North Pacific albacore tuna is one of the few fisheries rated as “Best Choice” on Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch List, and you’re checking off all the boxes.

Below: Note how deep the hook is on this prize. These guys will often bite hard like this, but be warned, they have what's know as a soft mouth. This means their lips tear easily when hooked, allowing them to escape.

mordial forces felt less like the ocean and more like a fevered dream.

“Get on those lines! They’re going to be on the bite!” My captain, Kurt, yelled from the helm on the open bridge. Between the lines on the outriggers that led to handy hydraulic gurneys to the shorter lines attached to the canoe transom via simple metal rings, I had over a dozen lines to keep an eye on. To make matters

While most of us experience albacore from the can, the difference in delectability is as stark as a $2 can of salmon and a $50 fresh-off-the-fish salmon sashimi platter.

Albacore tuna are generally caught off the Washington and Oregon coasts throughout the summer and into the fall.

However, August and September are widely considered the best months because generally there are the most fish and the weather on the North Pacific tends to be the most agreeable. Recreational anglers typically operate 50 to 100 nautical miles off the coast, so it is a proper open water experience. What’s more, multi-day trips (two or three days) are commonplace to make the most out of the extensive run to the tuna grounds.

Surprisingly, regulation is relatively new to the local recreational albacore tuna fishery. A recreational license wasn’t even mandated in Washington until 2006 and there still is no bag limit. Oregon currently has an albacore bag limit of 25

with few anglers reportedly making their limit with an average of 2.8 fish per day per angler in 2017.

One can catch albacore in Washington, Oregon, and California, (and even off British Columbia), but a glance at the numbers published by the 2017 HMS SAFE (Highly Migratory Species Stock Assessment and Fishery Evaluation) report from the Pacific Fishery Management Council on fishery performance shows Washington as the most productive recreational (private boat and charter) fishery with Oregon generally in the same ballpark.

The success of the Washington fishery does not necessarily mean that the waters are the most productive. The greater number of chartering companies in Washington, specifically out of the albacore meccas of Westport and Ilwaco, could be a reason for the disparity of numbers.

Why do albacore tuna visit our waters in the summer? Why do they attack

hooks in a ravenous swarm when on the bite? To answer these questions, we need to open up the albacore with our handy dissection scalpels and dust off our biology textbooks.

Anatomy of a Fighter You don’t have to be a marine biologist to appreciate the incredible adaptations of the albacore tuna. The shape of the fish is that of a torpedo, perfectly hydrodynamic, and makes for one fast fish. Unfortunately, the exact maximum speed of albacore is still something mostly estimated by sea salts and not something that has been pinned down by biologists.

According to a study published in 1992, a close cousin–yellowfin tuna–has been clocked out at 75 kilometers per hour (47 miles per hour). Think of it this way; albacore regularly outrun Mako sharks, one of their regular threats, and would probably get a speeding ticket on most residential roads in the U.S.!

P e r s p e c t i v e

Dave McCoy is one of the albacore tuna gurus of local Emerald Water Anglers chartering company. He offers some of his professional angler insights here.

"Pacific Albacore are one of the most exciting species to pursue. Size ranges from 15 to 30 pounds and good days on the water will bring plenty to hand. My favorite methods including live bait, jigging, and the most exciting of all, using a fly rod. These fish are prime targets anytime from May through September whatever method you choose.

Albacore are available off the Pacific Northwest coast from Northern California all the way to the Canadian coast and their distance from shore will be based on the ocean currents. There are times when fish can be off the Washington coast by only 5 to 10 miles. Captains will use sonar to locate the pods of fish while trolling. Once a fish is hooked, kill the motors and begin to toss live bait over board along with jig rods. This usually keeps the school close the surface and excited which will mean more hook ups."

Longfin Fly

The albacore doesn’t just owe its extreme performance to its bullet shape.

Their long pectoral fins–the origin of their other name, longfin tuna–are similar to a design seen on the U.S. Navy’s Grumman F-14 Tomcat. The pectoral fins can be tucked close to the body for fast lineal sprints or instantly deployed outward for turn-on-a-dime maneuverability. Their tail, or caudal, fin is also sharply forked, another hallmark design of a fast fish.

Their ultimate weapon is within their very bright red blood, the entire circulatory system in fact. Unlike most fish, albacore tuna are warm-blooded, meaning they regulate their body temperatures like us mammals. Using a method of blood circulation known as counter-current blood exchange, albacore can maintain a highperformance metabolic furnace that keeps them fast moving and hungry. Essentially, cold-blood veins from the extremities pump blood back into the more central parts of the body where the veins run right next to outbound warm-blood arteries.

The interaction transfers heat energy effectively between the two and keeps the fish’s body temperature constant.

This warm-bloodedness is also a key reason why albacore like our waters in the summer and fall. Albacore distribution is closely related to the temperature of the ocean because the fish want the best of both worlds: warm and cold waters. In

Fishing

Pacific

Longfin

Dave McCoy is one of the albacore tuna gurus of local Emerald Water Anglers chartering company. He is a huge fan of using fly rods on longfin and shares tips for an exhilarating chase.

"On the fly rod, we generally use 11- to 12- weight rods combined with either floating or 300- to 500-grain shooting heads. These fish are typically not leader shy but also have soft mouths so we recommend anywhere from 60 to 100-pound test leader from about 7' to 9' in length. Albacore sound, or go deep, unlike almost any other fish in our region, so the rod needs to be able to lift these fish but have enough flex in the tip to not rip the fly through their mouth. When all is right with the world, a school of boiling Pacific albacore will stay on the surface long enough to throw a surface fly in and providing an exhilarating view of the take. Not much beats this anywhere in the angling world!"

warm water, albacore need to spend less energy (and therefore consume less food) to maintain their metabolism. However, cold water is more productive in terms of food supply, meaning that most of the goodies they want to eat (anchovies, sardines, herring, small squid, etc.) are found in colder waters. The albacore therefore “ride the edge” as they say in the biz, meaning that the tuna patrol the border between warm water where they prefer to play and the cold water where they prefer to work.

Where is this wonderous edge? Hopefully, right here off our coast! The usual seasonal setup involves warm water intruding from the south to the north in our summer and fall and the tuna come up with it. However, the typical sea temperature set-up is not something to take for granted,

and the location of the edge (or lack of it) is one of the main factors that determine whether the season is going to be gangbuster or lackluster. If you recall all the news coverage of the warm water “blob” that plagued our coast from around 2013 to 2015, you’ll remember how irate coastal fishermen were. The edge, so vital to an albacore tuna fisherman’s livelihood, was pushed far away and remained elusive.

Go GET 'EM Now that you speak basic longfi n, you’re more than ready to chase them down yourself. By far the best way to start reeling them in is to go with a local chartering guide. The tuna hubs of Washington, Westport and Ilwaco, are good places to start. Tuna fishing, due to its offshore and specialized nature, demands a dialed-in

fishing machine to be safe and someone experienced aboard to be successful. While one can slap a used outboard motor on a dinghy, work the near-shore waters off San Juan Island with grandpa’s old rod, and maybe catch a silver salmon, the same kind of laid back approach will probably not work when in the North Pacific pursuing these fast-moving carnivores.

You’ll notice that your guide’s go-to strategy will probably be the classic jig and live bait combo. Jigs are generally trolled behind a vessel until the boat is on the tuna and they start biting. While fishermen work their lines, live bait like anchovy will be put on hooks as well to really get the fish biting. Operations will even throw over live bait by the bucketload in conjunction with the trolling, anything to get that feeding frenzy mojo going.

I mentioned the jack pole in my introduction. If you’ve ever been in a kitschy chowder house on the West Coast and looked at a vintage photo of a commercial boat with a line of smiling guys chucking tuna over their shoulders with fishing poles like nothing, you’ve probably seen a jack pole.

These 10' plus fishing poles are as simple as they come without a reel. Picture a big stick with a short line rigged with a jig and/or live bait on the hook, and you’re up to speed. In my opinion, these simple devices are the real tuna experience, and a lot of chartering companies have a few aboard as novelties. If you get the chance, give them a shot and burn some calories.

If you really get on the tuna and master the technique, you’ll be throwing them on deck like it’s 1947.

As far as the nitty gritty of how to rig your line, I refer to your local professional guide and take notes. Everyone uses something different and what they use will change regularly. An old trick I’ve seen experienced tuna fishermen use is to examine what the fish they’ve caught have eaten. As gruesome as it sounds, landed tuna will often regurgitate the contents of their stomachs. Your guide may pick over these remains, see that the tuna has been

70 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

eating a lot of squid, and change out jigs for squid-like designs.

Like always when you’re going into open water for extended periods of time, prepare. Bring those waterproof layers for both fair and foul weather. Start taking your favorite seasickness medications (if that’s a problem) the day before launch.

If you don’t have a favorite that works for you, trial run medications on land and use the one that agrees with you best. Bring your favorite snacks, drink lots of water, and be ready for the chance of intense sun (sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, etc.). Invite your fun low-maintenance friends, ideally ones that have been on boats with you. A little preparation on land goes a long way towards a blast on the hunt.

Above all, have fun! Albacore fishing is an incredible Cascadian way to be a part of some of the ocean’s rawest and most exciting natural phenomena. If you’ve ever seen a shimmering bait ball under siege on a nature show, you’ll begin to get an idea of what you’re going to be a part of when chasing albacore. Find a recommended local guide, prepare a bit, and go on an epic adventure, the memories of which may last a lifetime. The sustainably caught seafood you’ll enjoy will be the cherry on top.

RICE

There's nothing fancy about this meal on the go for a pair of busy tunapeople, but it's easy to turn your fresh catch into a very tasty meal. As usual, the fresher the albacore, the better.

Ingredients (Two Servings): Fresh albacore tuna (4 to 8 oz. per person, generally steaks of about an inch thickness) 1 cup of jasmine rice Olive oil Lemon Juice Soy sauce Garnish: The pride of self-reliance

Directions: Get that rice cooking to specifications on the box, 10-minute rice is commonly used by professional fishermen who don’t have an hour to cook rice. While the rice is boiling, add a coating of olive oil to a pan and heat on an open stovetop until the oil is about to smoke. Sear the tuna steaks to your tastes, but if you want it blue to take full advantage of the freshness, give each side a brief 10-second blast. If done properly, there should be no or minimal smoke.

Rest the fish for a few minutes, cut the steaks into bite-sized strips if desired, and then serve on a bed of jasmine rice. Add a dab or two of soy sauce and a squeeze of lemon to help the flavors pop. Dig in!

*Quinoa, pictured here, can be substituted for rice.

AUGUST 10 Northwest Yachting THE RUTTEN RACE

9° NORTH

By Eva Seelye

Tim and Cindy Cullen chose the epic routecruise from the West Coast to the Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI) for the journey of a lifetime.

I caught up with them across the Pacific to hear their story.

Most find the Marshall Islands to be a hidden escape, however the sail out to this Pacific paradise is anything but easy. It's so challenging in fact that sailors often cross their fingers in hopes that an on-island vessel is up for grabs. Others pitch in in to help with upkeep of other’s vessels in exchange for use. But only a select few actually brave the open seas of the Pacific to visit this tropical escape. West Coast locals Tim

and Cindy Cullen and their two cats did just this as first-time open ocean sailors – a story I was eager to hear upon my arrival to the RMI. “Iakwe and welcome to Kwajalein” says the flight attendant in Marshallese as I step off my United flight into 80 degrees and palm trees. At 2,300 miles southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii, and 2,000 miles southeast of Guam, it’s safe to say I’m in the middle of nowhere. I pick up my clearance badge, a require-

while Tim dives into the couple’s cruising story. Tim and Cindy moved to Redmond, Washington, from California in 1994 and purchased a 23’ North American Spirit for $2,500 in which they embarked on a two-week sail through the San Juan Islands.

“That was a turning point for us,” recalls Tim, “it sold us on the whole cruising idea, but we needed a bigger boat.” Their next purchase was a 31’ Mariner, and they eventually settled on their 36’ vessel, Masquerade. After selling their home, they sailed around the Northwest, fixing odds and ends aboard and preparing for long voyages ahead.

“We had a pact,” said Cindy, “if one of us can’t stand cruising, we still need to give it a year, then if it’s still unpleasant for either one of us, we’d sell the boat, because our marriage was more important than cruising.”

The Cullens hit the books and took classes in US Coast Guard Sailing, navigation and celestial navigation, HAM radio (Amateur Radio), sail repair workshops at Port Townsend Sails, rigging and splicing with Brion Toss Yacht Riggers, EMT courses, and more. They hauled Masquerade out, crawled around the bilge, climbed the mast, rigged her, and completed most of the drudgery themselves.

“You really don’t know your boat till you do all of that,” explains Cindy. While in Washington, Tim and Cindy joined the Puget Sound Cruising Club where they practiced their boating skills with likeminded individuals. Here, they met many of their year-round sailing friends. Every weekend the club cruises various areas of the Pacific Northwest. They recommend this group to anyone looking to gain sailing experience or long-term boating buddies.

During Masquerade’s final year in Washington, they enclosed the cockpit, bought

With very few accessible cars, the locals rely primarily on bikes to navigate

the 3-mile by ½-mile island. It’s good to be back home in this country rich in seafaring of all tides and tales.

a dorm fridge, purchased a camp stove and convection microwave, rebuilt the icebox into a fridge/freezer, and more. They also created covers for the galley stove and sinks for more food prep space–vital for small cruisers like this one.

and Cindy set sail with their kitty, Willie, in an upwind battle to Glacier Bay before continuing down to California and Mexico.

Tim, Cindy, and Willie cruised in and out of small rural towns and pristine waters, living by the winds and rolling with the tides. In the winter, they’d head south to the Sea of Cortez and back north when hurricane season hit in the summer.

Four years and another cat later (Blue “Boo-Boo”), it was time to return to work.

Tim applied to a software developer position in the RMI he discovered through a friend of a friend. He was offered the position with Flight Safety on the Ronald

Regan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site in Kwajalein Atoll. Instead of boarding a flight to Hawaii and an additional five-hour flight to Kwaj, the Cullens began preparing for their first open ocean voyage.

Kwajalein’s purpose as an army missile defense base is to track and monitor test missiles launched from California to Kwajalein Atoll’s lagoon. If the missiles stray off their path and possibly endanger people and/or property, Flight Safety is responsible for the missiles’ destruction.

Tim helps maintain the system and the signal that instructs the missiles to destruct.

The Cullens’ vessel was already cruise-

THE REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS

worthy from their Mexico expeditions, so only minor adjustments were needed before departing. Cindy had to find someone to host the Southbound Net online community for her, the hull had to be painted, and Tim needed a physical.

Cindy pre-cooked, vacuum sealed, labeled, and froze a few meals for their voyage in addition to freeze-dried camping meals, nuts, cheese and crackers. After reviewing their pilot charts, they “just went for it,” says Cindy, perhaps a little too soon in hindsight, if you ask them now.

Pacific Islanders are thought to have sailed from Micronesia to the Marshall Islands between 500 and 2000 B.C.E. aboard outriggers, navigating by stick charts. Through English traders and whalers, being annexed by Germany, a WWII Japanese takeover, the detonation of 66 atomic bombs, and now the threat of rising seas, the resilient RMI never fully escapes outside influences. The U.S. assumed administrative control in 1944, and the RMI eventually withdrew from the Congress of Micronesia for political independence in 1979.

Under the 1983 Compact of Free Association between the U.S. and the RMI, the RMI government is free to conduct its own foreign relations so long as it doesn’t violate the compact. The RMI operates under a mixed parliamentary-presidential system, and the U.S. has accepted full authority and responsibility of the islands' defense and security. Marshallese citizens can work and live in the U.S. without a visa with limited rights of a U.S. citizen. These rights exclude Medicaid, one of the many controversial aspects of the agreement, which is a story for another time.

NEXT STOP, OPEN OCEAN “Because we had the job waiting, we felt kind of pressured to leave and probably left a day or two before we should have,” explains Tim. He continues, “Schedules are never a good idea for cruisers. It’s always better not to have a schedule that could force your decision on something… it was pretty rough the first couple days out.” After the storm came the calm, and after the calm, the trade winds kicked in.

The shipping routes offered companionship the first few weeks, but they didn’t see another vessel or speck of land for the two weeks following. The couple thought they would be driving each other insane by this point, but it was the complete opposite. They sailed in shifts with one person always on watch and the other off

with a few hours of overlap. Tim listened to podcasts, read books, or practiced Spanish to keep his mind occupied. Cindy updated the ship’s log and participated in the Pacific Seafarer’s Net – a free daily check-in service for recreational ocean-crossing vessels.

A few storms hit the north Pacific, causing agitation in the seas on their journey.

M A RS H A L L M O O R AG E Limited moorage is available in Majuro and Kwajalein Atolls, but because of the RMI’s many remote islands, scattered wrecks, and government restrictions, anchorages tend to be more common. Phone numbers are listed below, but keep in mind that there isn’t public cell service in the RMI. As a visitor in the Marshall Islands, it’s important to respect the Marshallese people and their culture; this means introducing yourself to the mayor of each atoll you visit immediately upon arrival, wearing clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, and being mindful of the Marshallese people.

An Entry/Cruising Permit is required for each atoll visited. These cost between $25 and $250 and can be obtained from the Local Government Office in the Ministry of Internal Affairs (IA) in Majuro.

incinerators burned the chemical weapons out of existence.

Foundations of roads and buildings remain buried in the brush under overgrown foliage; an eerie reminder of what once was.

Here, they were finally able to sleep in the same bed and enjoy Baileys in their morning coffee, but they didn’t expect to find five emails from NOAA about an approaching tsunami the following morning. They weighed their options: 1) The pass out of the lagoon extended for miles. If a tsunami hit, their vessel would be coral-ridden. 2) Tie up at the dock, but even that wasn’t safe. So that left 3) Anchor in the lagoon and hope for the best. Luckily, because of atolls’ geography, tsunamis are a rarity because they need a gradual incline to slowly build the destructive wave. Atolls are rims of volcanoes, their slopes are steep, allowing virtually no surface area for a wave to build to that degree. The tsunami manifested as a 1.5’ surge that submerged a few dock ladder rungs. With that adrenaline rush under their hull, it was time to sail off on their last leg.

Forty eight days later with Military Orders in hand, the Cullens arrived to Kwaj, settled into their complimentary house, and eventually hauled Masquerade out for repairs. Luckily, the vessel is in decent shape after its ocean voyage and required no major repairs, but the strain of a trip

like that requires some attention. Tim and Cindy are making Masquerade seaworthy once again, mainly ensuring the hull, sails, and rigging are in decent shape.

Other repairs on the docket are a failing electrical system, updating refrigeration, and fixing the leak in the fuel tank.

WORDS FROM THE WISE At the club, the sun is setting and our beers are almost dry. We talk about their lifestyle and tips for ambitious cruisers who may want to follow in their footsteps.

One significant aspect of boating in the RMI is the difficulty to obtain parts. Most parts must be ordered online and can take up to a month to be delivered.

Some items can’t be shipped out at all. Tim had difficulty obtaining something as simple as acetone.

He says he “always has four to five jobs running at once because when you get stuck, you move on to the next one until you can get the part for the project you need.”

The constant wind and warm water make sailing in the RMI fantastic almost all year. “It’s a big leap [in the RMI] compared to the Northwest,” cautions Tim. “You have to go from lagoon sailing to open ocean sailing with trade winds.”

In the Northwest, there is a stairstep approach you can take with sailing. One can begin on a lake, then move to the Sound, then the San Juans, the Strait of

It’s All Here.

Juan de Fuca, and onto Vancouver Island, slowly and incrementally increasing your skills as you feel fit. He looks back on races like Swiftsure with fond memories.

“That was really good experience for doing overnights and being on a schedule, and also sailing a little outside your comfort zone.”

Cindy urges potential voyagers to consider the difficulties of owning and maintaining a boat in the Marshall Islands. The base isn’t as boat friendly as it once was; the climate is harsh, the anchorage isn’t very protected, and getting your boat hauled out is difficult. However, “if you’re cruising through and don’t plan to live on Kwaj very long,” explains Cindy, “or just want to cruise in the Marshall Islands, the islands and people are wonderful.”

I asked what’s next for the Cullens. Their plan is to hang in the islands for a while before sailing south across the equator and possibly on to New Zealand and Australia before Japan. Eventually, they’ll sail up to the Aleutian Islands and down to Orcas Island where they’ve recently purchased a house to live in upon their return from Kwaj.

For those looking to follow in the Cullens’ wake, take advantage of the many boating outlets available in the Northwest that will prepare you for a future ocean crossing. From all-weather sailing, racing, endless boating classes, and a savvy and supportive seafaring community, with a little dedication and the push of a dream, who knows?

Maybe we’ll be trading stories at the KYC one of these happy hour evenings. Until then, the open ocean awaits, fellow sailors.

Hoist the mainsail, batten down the hatches, and get to it!

R2AK 2018

By Norris Comer

A REVOLUTIONARY FOURTH

The iconic 750-mile engineless Race to Alaska (R2AK) from Port Townsend, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska has concluded its fourth year, a revolutionary one that bucked the trends of the first three in many ways. I, fresh from the course as a competitor, reflect here in the final installment of team Wright Yachts’ R2AK saga.

78 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

During R2AK’s first three years of existence (2015 to 2017), a pattern began to define the race’s identity.

Insane, bitterly cold storms drove drenched competitors to sleep in their drysuits while performance multihulls with two to four (male) crew dominated the top rankings.

The leaders always reached Ketchikan in about four days.

Even the greatest hopes for the monohulls—Olympian Carl Buchan on his famous Madronna and beloved team Skiff Foundation Jungle Kitty—came up short in 2016 (fourth and second respectively) surrounded by performance multihulls.

D

The verdict, especially from the always present armchair sailors online, was in.

Perhaps the world’s wildest, most unpredictable sailing adventure race was becoming *gasp!* predictable.

For R2AK, a race inspired by the beer-side nautical philosophizing of Northwest Maritime Center organizers like Jake Beattie, predictability is perhaps the worst fate of all. Central to the minimally regulated glory of R2AK is that all designs can have their day in the same event, from standup paddleboards to the Marstrom M32 catamaran of MAD Dog Racing, which still holds the time record: 3 days, 20 hours, 6 minutes from 2016’s race.

The convoluted geography of the Johnstone Strait, the brutal tidal swings of Seymour Narrows, and the unpredictability of the open blue of the North Pacific beyond Queen Charlotte Sound drive an anything-goes appeal that attracts adventurers and yacht club hot shots alike. Where else do kayakers pass Farrier-designed trimarans on windless days? To be reduced to a formula (multihulls, small male crew, drysuit sailing) could become a slow death to the beloved R2AK mystique. This year attracted 38 teams to register for the whole course.

In defiant fashion, monohulls dominated the rankings this year, and team Sail Like a Girl took first place with an all-female crew of eight on their Melges 32 led by under seasoned race skipper Jeanne Goussev. If that doesn’t sound like a feel-good Disney movie up there with the Jamaican bobsled team story of Cool Runnings, I don’t know what does.

Second was the proud Canadian-flagged Lagopus, the Latin name for ptarmigan [the boat’s real name, but another team called Ptarmigan beat them to the registrar this year], an Olsen 30 with crew of four.

Third? Almost unbelievably, it was the plucky Santa Cruz 27 of team Wildcard with crew of four. In many ways, the success of these boats is a win for The People. You can get a perfectly good

Santa Cruz 27 for less than $10k and a serviceable Olsen for around $15k. A Melges 32 is a bit more expensive, but if you’re savvy, you could find one for around $60k to $70k. If you’ve got a large crew, the expenses can be spread around bearably to those with normal means.

R2AK is still the America’s Cup for Dirtbags, as it should always remain; a race for The People.

R2AK 2018: WHY SO DIFFERENT? Among the top ten finishers, the only multihulls present were fourth-placed Ptarmigan (Corsair F28CC, four crew) and the team I was on (Wright Yachts, Corsair 970 Sport, three crew, tenth place). What contributed to the 2018 power rebalance?

The R2AK blog (r2ak.com) says it best in its write-up of Day One, “A high-pressure system sat on the race like a sweaty, fat

man with a broken fan—oppressive, stagnant, and stress testing the 54” Sansabelt shorts with 80-degree weather and no relief in sight.” These high-pressure conditions would persist throughout much of the race and record low winds would be the norm.

When we put this year’s low-wind battle into perspective, team Sail Like A Girl’s commanding first-place finish of 6 days, 13 hours, and 17 minutes is days longer than 2017’s winning time (team Pure & Wild/Freeburd) of 4 days, 3 hours, and 5 minutes. To widen the lens even further, the first-place team of 2018 was slower than the tenth-place winner of 2016 at 6 days, 6 hours, and 44 minutes (team Golden Oldies/Ghost Rider on a 38’ Crowther Super Shockwave catamaran).

This is no knock on 2018’s leaders, they sailed a great race, rather a comment on

Wright 1, with me aboard, taking off during Leg 1. We took the opportunity to play with sail plans and put her through her paces. Leg 1’s time and rankings are not factored into the race in any way, and we spent the day working out those fresh-from-the-yard kinks (Photo: Alex Kwanten).

the conditions of this oddball fourth year.

The jaw-dropping lack of wind affected every element of the race. Pointing ability and reliable human-powered elements became central pillars to success, not just ancillary bonuses. More crew, aka fresh muscle, were an asset. R2AK 2018, that some at the starting line began calling a multihull duel with monohull spectators, bucked the encroaching norm. Notably, Sail like a Girl had a fantastic, custom fabricated, dualpedaling station with extra paddles that were perpetually manned by the large, and therefore refreshed, crew aboard. Clearly, it was a winning strategy for the right year.

Human power played an especially crucial part in the first 30-some hours of Leg 2, the dash to that winning tide window of Seymour Narrows. The alwaysimportant run to the Narrows is one element of R2AK that remained constant with other years: you get through first, you finish on top. Conditions of the Salish Sea were glasslike when Leg 2 opened as the aforementioned “sweaty, fat man” high-pressure system pawed at his broken fan. The handful of teams that powered through to make that tide window never let go of their top-five status.

We aboard our Corsair 970 Sport on team Wright Yachts (skipper Scott Wall-

ingford, crewman extraordinaire Li Sung, and myself) heartbreakingly missed that window by less than an hour. Our team huddled with the despondent masses near the windless mouth of Campbell River for the next chance about two days after the start of Leg 2.

WHERE WERE WE? Prior to the tardy Campbell River arrival, team Wright Yachts had a long slog off the start line. After trying in vain to sail the 1 knot of wind in a very public display of despair outside of Victoria Harbour, we reverted to our single Seacycle peddle station complemented with a pair of stand-up paddleboard paddles.

Sometimes you learn the easy way and sometimes you don’t. Here are a few takeaways for the curious at home and the racers gunning for 2019 from yours truly who has been there:

Prepare for Low Winds: Like most teams, we entered R2AK expecting to get chewed up in heaving seas, triple reefing in big winds, and shivering and/or crying ourselves to sleep. But lows winds are a fact of life during the Salish Sea summer and beyond, so being ready for calm seas is vital: • Bring the spinnaker and/or Code 0 (we did this, thankfully).

• Use a field-tested, human-powered drive that can give you 3+ knots in non-ideal conditions, works in tandem with sails, and easily deploys/stows.

• Be ready for a week or more at sea, even if fast teams complete the course in four-to-five days normally.

You are not racing in a previous year’s race, you are racing in an unknown race and anything can happen.

Sea Time Before the Starting Line = Best Time at the Finishing Line: We climbed the learning curve the whole race due to our boat’s late arrival and general difficulty to get the three of us on the same boat for multi-day training trips due to our personal lives: • Nothing is a substitute for sea time with your race crew, especially if it is on the boat you’re racing. Sail like a Girl wisely did Swiftsure 2018 together on the Melges 32 and every one of them I talked to attribute that experience to their R2AK success.

Standard Operating Procedures, SOPs for You and Me: The worst thing you can do is wing it with regards to food, sleep, and the constantly evolving battle plan. While your Standard Operating Procedures can be unwritten, you all need clear roles and best practices that work for you to race nonstop for days: • Ration your food. We did this with healthy 3,000-calorie day packs and a generous slush stash of always available high-calorie snacks (peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches, anyone? Swedish Fish?).

One only needed hot water to enjoy all the nutrients, perfect for on the go.

• Strictly adhere to a sleep schedule. This didn’t happen aboard our boat and we all ended up exhausted and unnecessarily at anchor a few times. Potentially dangerous mistakes also became more common when underway. Work martyrs are for office spaces, not the sea.

• Skipper leadership with regular all-hand briefs are vital to success. We always raced better when we met around a chart, tasks were designated, and we executed a plan. Communicate and work together, there’s no bonus points for improv out there.

80 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

Thankfully, we hastily purchased these paddles as backup in Victoria after reviewing the extreme low-wind forecast.

“Fresh out of the box” was the central theme to our team, as we self-commissioned the boat over Memorial Day weekend about three weeks prior to the start of the race. We thus doomed ourselves to learning lessons the hard way. For example, a boat of our bulky above-water mass and shape really needed more peddle power than our one drive could dish out to make anything more than two knots of headway. These two knots were in ideal conditions too, mind you. Throw in a oneknot unfavorable current or two knots of headwind, and we were in a calf-numbing fight for our lives and dignity.

The team was grateful to test drive the Corsair 970 Sport for Wrights Yachts, which was selling the boat as part of its inventory. However, this did give us some limitations. We were barred from hole drilling or anything considered too invasive. The drive was therefore mounted to the pre-installed swimstep mount.

However, we hadn’t enough time with the boat to perfect our device’s deployment mechanics, meaning that to install or remove it was a cumbersome task. We could not safely sail while the peddle drive was deployed or we risked damage to the frame, for it did not trim up. The deployment and stowage of the peddle drive, a sailor’s heartbreak every time, pushed the limits of our sanity.

Thanks to the no-wind conditions, we suffered this surreal fate for literally days on end. Barefoot, shirtless, and increasingly sunburnt, we realized that we brought a shiny new Ferrari to a dirt bike rally. Team Wright Yachts in those two days, eyes increasingly wild and far gazing, resembled what a budget, straight-to-video, Werner Herzog directed attempt at Castaway 2 would look like. Fortunately, our mental state didn’t devolve to the point where Wilson, the blood covered volleyball, manifested but we came close.

washer, and a following seas, open water run up Hecate Strait, we steadily climbed the ranks, even making an outside Duke Island play on the final day to catch PT Watercraft, Sea to Sky Sailing, and Super Friends. It’s a shame to reduce the bulk of the adventure to this paragraph, but alas, I’m writing for a magazine, not telling this story around a campfire.

FINAL REFLECTIONS As important as experiential tips can be (see “Fellow Racers” sidebar), it is also vital to make a conscious effort to embrace the R2AK experience. Talk to the curious fans of Port Townsend, Victoria, and Ketchikan. Have fun with the other teams whenever possible. My favorite memories aren’t just of majestic whales, world-class scenery, or life-defining sailing highlights like flying through the whirlpools off Ripple Point at night, double reefed in a gale at the helm. Equal are the memories of dancing my heart out to live music at the Port Townsend pre-race ruckus and arriving to the Ketchikan Yacht Club right off the boat to an aw-shucks inducing chant of “Norris! Norris! Norris!” from the other teams. I was thus inspired to join standing ovations for the teams that came after us, eager to contribute to and witness life affirming moments as they unfolded.

In general, teams are excited and nervous to be there, and the bond of suffering and accomplishment achieved by you, your team, and the teams in your race is exclusively shared among that elite circle; the elite circle you are now a part of as a R2AKer. Feel free to be that team that mumbles condescending things to other teams and doesn’t want to hang out at the starting or finishing line.

The rest of us are going to make friendships that last a lifetime.

I’ve already sailed with winning Sail like a Girl skipper Jeanne Goussev for fun on her boat Gray Wolf in the Downtown Sailing Series, something that wouldn’t have happened without those off-the-water bonding moments. Corny as it sounds, perhaps it

R2AK 2018 TOP TEN

We attempted another tide window that night in Campbell River, but it did not go well. As we eked out a few knots of human power, we faced a few knots of headwind. As discussion mounted about hoisting the sails and making a go of it, we languidly crunched into a large floating log. In a successful attempt to dislodge the log, an over-exuberant Li fell overboard and fortunately was retrieved as we began to freely spin in the river’s current. Even at maximum peddle and paddle, we had a basically dead stick. Freaked and not eager to damage a boat that’s up for sale, we limped into Coast Discovery Marina in the town of Campbell River.

The third day was the grimmest day of the whole adventure. The forecast showed 0 to 3 knots of wind for the foreseeable future. Even optimistic charting predicted us exiting windless Johnstone Strait in a week or two with less than a quarter of the course under our belts. After a tense meeting and a reflective walk around the local streets, the solution forward presented itself: let’s hitch this gasless Ferrari to a proper mule team. We resolved to build a pair of rowing stations right there in town, a decidedly R2AK way to clear the hurdle before us.

Our patron saint came in the form of marina manager Derrick (last name lost to the fog of war) who sold us scrap lumber at cost, gave us full access to his tool shop, discounted our moorage, and even drove Li and I to a local Home Depot. We purchased 8’ oars from a local outdoor store and extended them with steel piping. The beefy stations came together in under three hours and involved no drilled holes. I casually browsed Navionics on my tablet and was shocked to see that we could make the next tide window.

“When do we have to leave?” Scott asked as he installed the final station.

“Now!” I pointed to the data, and we were off. We tucked through the Narrows as the slack turned to the unfavorable ebb.

LESCHI & Lakewood

A NEW ERA

The ongoing drama shrouding the development of the nearly derelict Leschi and Lakewood marinas on Lake Washington has several more acts since our June 2016 feature Showdown at Leschi Marina.

Is a new chapter in this ongoing saga upon us?

BY NORRIS COMER 82 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

Two years ago, the public forum was abuzz after the Parks and Neighborhood Committee of the City Council of Seattle (the City) chose to overturn an approved 2013 proposal from Foss Waterway Management (FWM) that sought to redevelop the deteriorated Leschi and Lakewood marinas. Deterioration is swift on the water and at the time of our June 2016 reporting, approximately 38 of the 214 (about 18%) of Leschi Marina’s wet-moorage slips were in such a dilapidated state, even sinking, that they were unusable. A walk across the floating dock was also hazardous at places with gaping holes where lumber had long rotted away.

A revised proposal from FWM that aligned more with the public’s desire for a community marina was accepted by the City almost three years later.

Today, a visit to the marina will yield much of the same. Fortunately, even though the on-water conditions of the marina continue to decline, some key land-based developments have made the future of the marina a little brighter.

T

How did we get here?

If we flash back to the spring of 2013 when the City’s first Request For Proposal (RFP) was issued to develop Leschi and Lakewood marinas, hope for some and angst for others ran at an all-time high.

The marinas as they stood were familiar, having been operated by concessionaire Schober and Associates for 28 years. However, the public funding of the marinas were drying up and taxpayers remained unmoved. Small marinas that cater to tenants on the order of dozens are generally a more difficult public funding pitch than something like a community center that services thousands.

“We had the opportunity to repair and replace the marina for an ongoing contract,” said Dwight Jones, a partner of FWM. “We had a new vision of what Leschi Marina could be, and we didn’t want to bore people and be predictable.

We weren’t given any instructions, so we thought of something new.”

The FWM proposal was chosen over a bid by the old guard of Schober and Associates and their proposal was made public. The original plan envisioned a boater clubhouse and notably larger slips for larger yachts. The culture shock was felt by some as the small-craft oriented Leschi Marina was largely defined by its active Thistle fleet and the club dragon boats.

The new plan was more akin to Elliott Bay Marina, one of the successful projects on the Dwight Jones’ portfolio.

“We want the marina to stay, but we don’t want it expanded with big boats,” said Diane Morris, Co-President of the

“Now that it’s been settled with Foss, I feel pretty good about them,” said Diane Snell in 2016, when she was co-president of the Leschi Community Council. “They understand our sailing heritage and I think they’ll do a good job. I’m tentatively optimistic and Dwight Jones of Foss is great to work with.”

“We want to be inclusive, not exclusive,” said Jones in 2016. “I think everyone will be pleased. The whole facility will improve and there will be better accessibility for everyone. Kayaking access, great waterfront views, and better facilities help everyone.”

A MOVING BATTLE

Leschi Community Council at the time.

“We don’t want big boaters and motorboats coming in because it’s hard on the shoreline.

We have kids that swim down there and motor traffic can be dangerous to them.”

“Big yachts be warned” was the takeaway message for both Leschi and Lakewood marinas. Lines were drawn in the sand and public hearings became very contentious. Ultimately, the City nullified the 2013 proposal due to the public opposition. The community, for better or for worse, was back at square one as Leschi Marina sank ever deeper into Lake Washington. In 2014, the engineering firm Reid Middleton Inc. estimated $11 million was needed to make the necessary repairs for

PICTURESQUE MARINAS

Despite the ongoing development saga, these two marinas are open for business! Located on the western shore of Lake Washington, both Leschi and Lakewood Marinas have plenty to offer the visiting laker or cruiser looking to keep their boat in the freshwater for a while. Leschi Marina is located in the heart of the main drag of Leschi community, with restaurants, shops, and nearby Leschi Park. Lakewood Marina is situated within walking distance of the 300-acre Seward Park and access to nearby Ohlers Island. More info can be found at leschiandlakewood.com.

Leschi alone. The future looked bleak.

All was not lost, however. Out of the ashes of the nullification arose another RFP from the City to fix up the marina, and Foss put forth another bid. After a very public process, the City and FWM penned an agreement to negotiate a contract in late 2015. The new vision from FWM seemed to sit better with the community at large and made clear revisions to retain the small-boat, paddler-accessible, publicoriented spirit of the marinas as people knew them. What’s more, the City offered to pitch in $4 million in the development effort compared to the original public contribution of zero. Clearly, all parties were more hands-on this time around.

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS

Progress continued as more parties coalesced around the new initiative. Notably in August of 2017, the City passed legislation (Ordinance Number: Ord 125391) with sponsor Debora Juarez authorizing Seattle Parks and Recreation to enter into an official lease agreement with Marina Management LLC (MM, formerly Foss Waterway Management). In a move that made the public-private partnership official, the City and MM moved to renovate both marinas–Lakewood and Leschi.

“In August 2017, Seattle City Council passed legislation authorizing Seattle Parks and Recreation to enter into a lease agreement with Marina Management LLC. This partnership with Marina Management LLC will enhance the City-owned marinas and improve public access to these spaces,” says a Seattle Parks and Recreation statement published on January 2, 2018. Together, the two entities planned to work together on the projects, which totaled at an estimated $16 to $18 million. With the City’s capital improvement allocation, now $3.8 million, MM had the greenlight to make up the rest and deliver as a tenant. MM officially took over management on January 1, 2018.

The ink of the new ordinance was still drying when it was met with a filed lawsuit on September 7, 2017. The suit was

filed by the Friends of Lakewood Moorage (FoLM), a group of “concerned tenants and neighbors of Lakewood Moorage, with a mission to preserve the history, character, and charm of Lakewood Moorage” who remain unconvinced that a private-public partnership with MM is the solution to the marina’s woes. They sued the city with the mantra “Leave Lakewood Alone.”

“We’re trying to keep Lakewood a neighborhood moorage,” Jeannie O’Brien, local attorney and president elect of FoLM, told us in a recent interview. “This part of the lake just isn’t meant for big yachts.” FoLM has proposed methods like public debt financing paid back with moorage revenues to keep it virtually as is and entirely public versus the new private-public MM plan to incorporate larger slips, a pump-out facility, and other amenities meant to grow boating activity. O’Brien doesn’t want to attract more boats or change the layout of the marina, citing safety, environmental, and higher slip fee concerns. She also referenced the history of the public moorings that have roots back to 1910 when Lake Washington was flooded as part of the Miriam M. Chittenden Locks system. According to her, the public moorage was a promise to property owners who lost out with the rising water.

Again, the battle lines were drawn, but this time the tide had turned. The case of FoLM vs. City of Seattle was heard before Judge Catherine Shaffer on Friday, April 6, 2018. The gavel sealed the legal challenge for good on May 9, 2018. Judge Shaffer denied FoLM’s motion without comment.

The public-private plan would proceed.

successfully over Delin Docks Marina on the Thea Foss Waterway of Tacoma.

Evident in his regular e-newsletters is the roll-up-your sleeves attitude associated with a new homeowner of a fixer-upper.

More and regular office hours, larger staff, increased parking enforcement, and new security cameras paint the picture of a marina-managing Mary Poppins or a Doberman pincher sent by the invading bourgeoise depending on who you talk to.

If interested, a great resource to follow is the e-newsletter posted on leschiandlakewood.com in the news section, and you can even get them sent right to your email inbox.

Notably, the State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) documents have been completed in MM’s ongoing contraction with local company Marine Floats. This is a critical landmark accomplishment as far as fixing up the docks is concerned.

The optimistic timeline is that actual renovation of the floating docks could begin in the summer of 2019. Within the same announcement, Perry also adds, “If everything goes as planned, which it seldom does.” When talking about this saga, optimism and fatigue are often expressed at once.

But, as Perry predicted in his newsletter, Lakewood plans are made to be challenged.

At the time of this writing, another suit has been filed against the MM and City partnership by FoLM (June 15, 2018), perhaps opening another salvo exchange between the two sides. Details on this lawsuit are developing.

As one walks the docks of Leschi or Lakewood, one still sees the sinking docks and general signs of neglect. However, change is in the air, and a sense of law and order has descended. Red parking tags hang from cars and a security camera watches the gate.

It seems like a few of the more derelict boats are gone, and the marina office is *gasp!* open and tended to during normal hours.

September 7, 2017: Round #2 Friends of Lakewood Marina (FoLM) files a suit in opposition to the agreement with MM.

August, 2017: Legalized Ordinance After extensive public and private negotiations, the City passes Ordinance Number Ord 125391 that authorizes Seattle Parks and Recreation to enter into an official lease agreement with Marina Management LLC (MM, formerly FWM) to renovate and operate both Lakewood and Leschi marinas.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT The quiet suburban feel of the Leschi neighborhood hides a heritage of political struggle. The neighborhood was named after the popular Chief Leschi of the Nisqually tribe who was hanged after protesting the terms of the Medicine Creek Treaty and fighting militiamen who came after him. The area grew into a major steamboat stop from the 1890s-1910s, was a public cable car hub from 1888-1940, and the site of the city’s first zoo before it moved to Woodland Park. What identity will Leschi assume next?

How widespread is the resistance? Hard numbers are difficult to quantify as no formal polling or voting data exists. It’s fair to say that favor for the developments has increased since the pitchfork meetings of 2013 that lead to the nullification of the original agreement with Foss. Even the stance of the City has evolved from quickly yielding to public pressure in 2013 to judging in favor of the MM agreement without further comment this year. Inertia seems in favor of development with the City, MM, and at least a sizeable portion of the community having picked their course.

Time will tell if any new challenges shake the ship’s inertia off its bearing.

Meanwhile, the floating docks still sink into the lake as they did when we investigated two years ago. The silver lining is that, unlike two years ago, the marina offices are open and somebody inside is trying to do something about it.

RACING SHEET

One Design, Fun Design Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Jan Anderson One of the greatest benefits of living in the Pacific Northwest is the summer. Summer means ale at Fremont Brewery, bonfires at Golden Gardens beach, long weekends to the San Juan Islands, and, of course, weeknight keelboat racing. You don’t have to try too hard or wait too long before you find yourself sailing four nights a week while your coworkers wonder where you go every day at 1630 hours.

Topping any new racer’s to-do list is to get in with a one design fleet, where lanes are tight, sails

are flat, roundings are fast, and the race isn’t over until the start.

For most Seattle racers, one design means one thing–Tuesday night with J/24s on Lake Washington. Now several decades and counting, the race with a stacked fleet of world championship contenders and dialed-in club racers puts nearly 30 boats on the course every week. The fleet owes its dominance to a combination of evenly matched boats and a close-knit community that is always happy to help new racers get up to speed. The top

boats know that you are only as fast as your competition and one wrong move by a leader spells disaster at a busy mark rounding as the bulk of the fleet converges. The bonus of racing in shorts and T-shirts is the icing on the cake. It is not uncommon to see groups of racers escaping work early to jump into Lake Washington and give the boat a quick wipe down for some added speed.

This summer, the results are tight with Scott Milne and the crew of Tremendous Slouch setting the bar high by winning

the Spring and Interim series, but Mark Laura and crew onboard Baba Louie are coming back swinging with six podium finishes in the first nine races of the summer series. With several weeks left in the series, and 30 boats all aiming for that top spot, only time will tell who is going to take the overall points win.

O n L a k e Wa s h i n g t o n , Wednesdays are still going strong with one design mojo as three more fleets take to the fresh water. The whimsical homegrown Thunderbird fleet is not down for the count and regularly attracts a handful of curated classics. Originally designed as kit boats for the DIY boat owner, the plywood hulls are still pushing themselves.

Trading out the plywood for fiberglass, the San Juan 24s continue to enjoy a strong turnout every week with nine boats on the water. The fleet hosted the North American Championships in Oak Harbor with 15 boats going around the cans in Penn Cove off Whidbey Island, Washington. Setting the bar for

Results: Lake Tuesday Evening Summer Series 2018 the evening is the always strong, seldom recognized Thistle fleet.

This fleet is dear to my heart as it was the boat I grew up sailing with my dad, although the Thistle has always been a love-hate relationship for sailors. Droop hiking over a two by four is far from an ideal way to spend an evening for most, though it is hard to beat the excitement and nail-biting moments that a fully powered three-person dinghy brings to the table. With the fleet steadily consisting of over 15 boats, Thistles’ popularity doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon.

Out on Puget Sound, the one design vibes are strong with both Wednesday night keelboat racing and Thursday night dinghy racing. The J boats are taking center stage again with two fantastic one design fleets in the medium and extra medium keel boat slots. This summer has the J/80 ranks pushing close to double digits with nine boats regularly on the line and constant shakeups on the podium as the fleet is always pushing one another to sail harder and smarter.

The J/80’s big sister, the J/105 fl eet, is continuing to tip the scales by putting ten boats on the water nearly every week. The level of competition is hardly slowing down as newcomers to the fleet sometimes join the top finishers. Thursday plays host to no less than six dinghy fleets.

Everything from the traditional Laser and the Olympic heritage of the Star fleets to the carbon fiber speed of the 5O5 group and a packed RS Aero fleet, there is a bit of everything for those brave enough to don a wetsuit and head out into the Sound.

As the world becomes more complicated with seemingly endless options, from time to time it is important to get back to what made this sport fun to begin with: racing. This fundamental appeal is the reason that one design racing is alive and well, with our area continuing to turn out Olympic hopefuls and world champion contenders. While the big boats often get the glory, it is one design racing, no matter the size of the boat, that makes the sailor.

P RTS OF CALL

Port Ludlow, Washington

By Evin Moore The Olympic Peninsula is dotted with communities with “Port” and “Harbor” in their names, once bustling mill towns, fishing villages, and logging camps that have adapted to the 21st century economy in their own unique ways. Port Ludlow is one such community, tucked into a tiny inlet by the same name. Blink and you might miss the turn on Highway 104, and boaters need to keep an eye out for the inlet entrance just north of the Hood Canal Bridge. Those who make the trip are rewarded with walls of green trees and natural sand beaches, and if they are lucky enough to have a clear day, the silhouette of Mt. Baker will be their backdrop as they dock in the charming Port Ludlow Marina.

The area that became Port Ludlow was charted and named by Lieutenant Charles Wilkes of the U.S. Exploring Expedition.

The port’s namesake was Augustus C. Ludlow, a hero of the War of 1812, and Wilkes’ name choice appears to be a thinly veiled jab at his British North American exploration rivals. In 1852, a steampowered sawmill was built on a 318-acre claim by Captain William F. Sayward and John R. Thorndyke. The community that grew up around the sawmill kept the name given by Wilkes. A year later, two lumbermen named Andrew J. Pope and William C. Talbot formed a partnership and looked to establish another sawmill, but finding one already built in Port Ludlow, Pope and Talbot broke ground at Port Gamble instead.

By 1870, Port Ludlow was more famous for shipbuilding than for its declining lumber industry. The town at this time consisted of barely 200 people and a handful of buildings. In 1879, Pope and Talbot bought the dilapidated sawmill at auction and made it profitable before

T

88 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

the sawmill was finally closed due to the Great Depression. The historic houses were barged to Port Gamble during WWII, and by 1950, all commerce was dead. But in 1961, with the opening of the Hood Canal Bridge, Port Ludlow regained relevance as a potential land development project.

Today, Port Ludlow is a small collection of residential neighborhoods surrounded by the Olympic mountains that roll down

to the waterfront hub that includes the Port Ludlow Resort and Marina. Visitors arriving by boat can find a slip at the dock and a room if desired a few yards away at the Port Ludlow Inn. As visitors enjoy the outdoors with kayak paddles in hand or along a local trail, they become intimate with the community that was once a major lumber and shipbuilding center but now offers a quieter life for its denizens.

1. Caddy Shacking Not far from the marina is the Port Ludlow golf course, an 18-hole championship layout course. The manicured green hills are surrounded by natural foliage and abundant wildlife. The course was designed by renowned golf course architect Robert Muir Graves, and incorporates historic logging stumps to pay homage to the town’s lumber and milling history. Views of the beautiful Ludlow Bay and Cascade and Olympic ranges only add to the experience.

The course welcomes players of all experience and will challenge and engage both amateurs and veterans. Special events are scheduled through out the summer. The Port Ludlow Pro Am Series will be held multiple times and junior golf camps for kids and adult golf lessons are now open for registration. Don’t forget your clubs the next time you’re on the water and want to spend a day on the green.

2. Events and More Port Ludlow is a magnet for both boating and fun gatherings, yacht rendezvous, classes, events, and more. Notably, Port Ludlow is the annual host of the Bob Perry Rendezvous, essentially a get-together for owners of Bob Perry designs and admirers of his work. The event will host guest speakers this year and a potluck dinner. Moorage fills up quickly, so you may have to anchor out if you have not reserved a slip already. The Perry Rendezvous will be held on the weekend of August 17 to 19 this year and is always a good time.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it to the party, for Port Ludlow offers many summertime activities. The Port Ludlow Resort will be hosting a series of yoga classes on Wednesday afternoons and Sunday mornings. The classes focus on posture, breathing, and gentle awareness. All skill levels are welcome, and classes will occasionally be held outside during the summer. The resort will also be offering specialty dinners on Wednesday nights, showcasing the bounty of local farms and fisheries in the form of a three-course meal. Visitors looking to relax at the end of the day can sign up for a Summer Star Party, a three-course dinner pair with wine and hosted by astronomer Mark Radar, who guides a viewing of stars, planets, and constellations after the meal. The moonlight dinners are planned for July 19, August 19, and September 16.

3. Explore Nature

N

The natural beauty of Port Ludlow is often what keeps visitors returning again and again. It can be admired from on deck, but it deserves to be richly experienced up close and personal.

Head to the marina to rent a kayak or stand up paddleboard.

Any first-timers will receive a quick lesson on the basics.

Paddle the bay and search the shores for local wildlife. Otters love to lounge on the docks, seals call the bay home, and deer are a common sight along the edge of the water. No kayak trip is complete without a stop at The Twins, two islands guarding the entrance of a beautiful cove. The tiny islands make for a picture perfect locale.

If you’re not into kayaking, walk along the 30 miles of maintained trails along the edge of the bay, or ride your mountain bike along 25 miles of bike trails. Walk far enough and you might get to eat lunch next to the relaxing sound of the Port Ludlow Falls. The Olympic Peninsula is a bird watcher’s dream with over 300 species found locally. Watch for bald eagles, blue herons, kingfishers, Trumpeter swans, and ring-billed gulls as you walk the trails. Also wonderful is the half-mile of natural sand beach that rings the shore around the Inn.

ASK THE EXPERTS

Topside Painting FE ATURING TONY BU LPIN OF SE A HAWK PAINTS

“Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.”

— John Singer Sargent, from Bentley and Esar, Treasury of Humorous Quotations When it comes to painting a boat, owners usually have the below-water topics on their minds. This makes some degree of sense, for we’re usually preparing for a bottom paint job every year or two (or three), and Washington boaters have been reading about the new copperbased regulations. However, the topside of the boat is what you and The People will be looking at on a regular basis. As they say in the biz, do you want to just show up, or to arrive?

Moving above the waterline shifts the emphasis of the paint jobs from the purely utilitarian, anti-fouling focus of the bottom paints and introduces artistic and aesthetic value into the equation.

Above the waterline is where truly talented paint applicators can strut their stuff, often for top dollar. The do it yourselfers (DIYers) will have their work cut out for them above the water, with deck hardware

90 NORTHWEST YACHTING || AUGUST 2018

obstacles and more demanding preparation regimens being just a few of the hurdles to navigate.

Small imperfections, barely perceptible to the casual observer, may drive the owner crazy for years.

For some insight into the world of topside paints, we turn to local Sea Hawk Paints representative Tony Bulpin. Between the buzz around low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, the many different kinds from classic gelcoat to two-part polyurethane, and the value of responsive support from the manufacturer, there is plenty to talk about.

NWY: So you’ve been Seattlebased for your whole career. Is there anything unique about the Seattle boat paint scene?

In my opinion, some of the finest painters in the country are located right here in the Pacific Northwest. After spending time in places all over the country, including boating hubs in Florida, the simple truth is that some of the finest painters and contractors are right in our own backyards.

NWY: What are two-part polyurethanes? What are the pros and cons vs. some of the more traditional options like gelcoat?

My thoughts on two-part polyurethanes is that they will withstand

the rigors of the marine environment the best. They have resistance to solvents, too. They are abrasion resistant and are hard and tough.

They will maintain their gloss for longer than a traditional gelcoat finish that will break down in the ultraviolet light. Two-part polyurethanes are less vulnerable to sun damage.

They are more complicated to apply and generally more expensive than simpler systems, but they offer some clear benefits.

NWY: Do you see more two-part polyurethanes these days, or is it still a gelcoat world?

It’s still a gelcoat world, especially from the manufacturing aspect. But I’ve noticed that the larger boats tend to convert to twopart polyurethanes as the years go on. As far as options go, you’ve got two-part polyurethanes and acrylic urethanes, gelcoat, and single-part enamels.

In my opinion, the single-part enamel doesn’t hold up to more modern two-part polyurethanes or acrylic urethanes. However, the polyurethanes require much more preparation and have a more labor intensive, complex application system. A DIYer can do polyurethane, but they need to be willing to learn the preparation tricks.

NWY: Preparation for the topside

coating seems to be a vital part of the process?

You’re essentially applying layers of compounds between steps of sanding. Once the sanding of the old coating has been done with the recommended grit, identify what primers are needed for your chosen system. Often, you’ll start with an epoxy primer, then perhaps a high build primer, and then maybe a fairing compound. Then comes the topcoat. The steps for preparation is dependent on the kind of boat you’re painting. Fiberglass uses epoxy primers, steel and aluminum will use metal primers followed by epoxy primers, etc.

Make sure to use recommendations from the manufacturer.

There’s a step between each application of sanding with recommended grit, then applying the next primer or fairing compound, followed by sanding with recommended grit, then the next coating, etc. Every manufacturer has a specific system in place that they recommend, and it’s important to be keyed into the established method.

NWY: When it comes to personal protection, is it as important with topside jobs as with bottom jobs?

It’s more important to use personal protection with topside jobs than bottom paint jobs. Personal protection is always important with paint jobs, but because of the isocyanates that go into some of the topside finishes, it’s absolutely vital you do not shortcut personal protection. Personal protection is not just a respirator, it’s a face mask with respirator and full skin protection.

NWY: The copper bottom paint regulations for Washington state is on a lot of boaters’ minds. Are there similar regulations looming for topside paints as well?

There are certain air quality districts in the USA that ban some common topside coating products. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are often regulated locally,

and certain products are not able to be used. Certain paint companies are producing products with lower VOC content with success.

I’m not a chemist, so I can’t get into the nitty gritty of why VOCs are a concern. But basically, VOCs get into the atmosphere and it’s bad for the environment. VOCs have been heavily regulated in the automotive industry for a long time, and now more regulations on VOCs are carrying over into the maritime industry, including anti-fouling paints. Washington doesn’t have specific maritime VOC regulations yet.

Sea Hawk has already developed products that are low VOC to comply with federal and certain strict districts’ air quality standards. VOCs and the different solvents being used to get to lower VOC products could be a whole other article. But, make no mistake, companies like the one I work for pay attention to VOC compliance, and we’re always working to make our products more VOC compliant.

NWY: We talked a little about glossy finishes. You get that topside paint on, and the next layer is the gloss?

Gloss is generally incorporated into polyurethanes as well as acrylic urethanes. There are new products on the market that are incorporating color with gloss and the like. Again, refer to the manufacturer. Manufacturers will sometimes say that their paint with gloss finish incorporated is as good as the competitors’ gloss finish.

The products are getting better with systems that may include clear coats over color. Manufacturers differ; some recommended multiple layers of clear coat and others say you don’t need them.

NWY: Is there a movement to incorporate as many layers into single topside coatings, or are manufacturers not shy about increasing the number of layers of product needed?

The biggest thing is that there’s no short cuts with these products, you pay for it now or later.

Sea Hawk Paints Sea Hawk Paints are manufactured

by Nautical Coatings Inc. in the United States. The Clearwater, Florida, company was founded in 1978 and has been offering different boat coatings for recreational craft for decades. Check out their website to view the different products, locate your nearest certified applicator, or view instructional videos to help with your next boating project.

Website: seahawkpaints.com

They are not shy about adding layers of different products. The more product you put on, the more labor it takes to apply. It can double the cost of the paint job depending on colors, gloss, layers, etc. There are differences between the painters themselves, too.

A painter once said to me you can either show up to the marina or arrive at the marina. Some painters take what they do as if the boat is their calling card, a true piece of art in the marina. When you meet one of boat owners who used a painter like that, they know their painter intimately. It’s a relationship that’s ongoing, you get your “paint guy.” The biggest thing is that there’s no short cuts with these products, you pay for it now or later.

NWY: Are there things you can do to extend the lifespan of a paint job?

Keep it clean, that’s the main one. I’ve always recommended a good boat soap, nothing special.

Depending on acrylic urethane or polyurethane, there are some companies that recommended washes and waxes for their finishes. I’d consult with each one of the manufacturers and pay attention to what their care and maintenance for their finishes are.

NWY: Is there an easy way to ballpark the cost of a topside paint job?

Not really, there’s no perfoot formula. Consult with your manufacturer professional. An applicator will look at your boat and give you an estimate, but once they get into a project, they may get into something they did not see that will throw that estimate out the window. Factors like how the fiberglass was laid up or how the pervious gelcoat was applied can really increase the labor of the job. When comparing estimates

between different painters, make sure you’re talking apples to apples. Also, be sure to differentiate between an estimate and a firm bid for the job as well.

NWY: It seems like, because each of these coatings has their own unique composition, consulting the manufacturer for recommendations is always a good go-to move when you have a question?

Yes, and that’s what makes us reps so important. The products on the market that are successful have good representation that works with the professional applicators to make sure they are applying the products per the specifications, kind of like how we do it with the certified applicator job.

These manufacturer application systems and recommendations are the fruit of a lot of behind-thescenes labor by the company, and I recommend taking advantage of that as a customer.

NWY: Sea Hawk has a warranty if you use one of their applicators, correct?

What we do is certify yards, and that puts our applicators on our website so when customers get on our website and look for an applicator in our area, it pulls up the certified applicators who have been trained and certified

by Sea Hawk.

NWY: Any final thoughts?

Consult with your boatyard.

Usually your boatyard will steer you in the right direction with their in-house paint crew or a local crew. If you call the boatyards in your area, I think you’ll find most of them will give you names of certain experts in the area. Those network connections are valuable, and some of the painters in the Northwest have been doing it for over 20 years.

Go to nwsalmonderbyseries.com for the full line up of tournaments for the year and more information.

Puget Sound Anglers (PSA) fishing clubs will also have some smaller derbies in local waters this month.

I strongly suggest joining a PSA club in your area. It’s a great way to meet fellow anglers, learn about fishing, and get involved in sport fishing issues.

Slow down and enjoy this time of year if you can. On the water in the Northwest, catching fish and having fun makes a summer to remember for all ages. Take a kid fishing. You’ll be glad you did, and they’ll never forget it. Until next time, let’s get out there and go get some!

Kevin’s Pick: LOWRANCE ELECTRONICS Lowrance Electronics has been around since 1957 and invented the first sonar for consumer use. Lowrance today is going strong in the angling marketplace. Pushing the envelope of innovative performance with CHIRP sonar, they can help you find the fish. With highly accurate built in GPS and CMap chart, navigation to those hot spots has never been easier.

Touchscreen technology with ultra-fast data processing allows easy configuration to simplify and enhance your on-the-water experience. They’ve got something for every angler, from the lakes and rivers to the deep blue sea! Check out the full line of Lowrance electronics at lowrance.com.

Pets on Boats

Four-legged fishing guru Cooper’s role is “providing moral support and acting as honorary fish finder,” according to local boater and human companion Roger Davis. Follow them on Instagram @deeptubez.

The idea behind Pets on Boats is simple: take a cute or funny photo of your pet aboard your favorite boat, write a caption, and send it to us with a bio of the pet at editorial@nwyachting.com. Our staff selects the best submission. Monthly winners have the honor of seeing their pet appear in an issue of the magazine!

You’re not the only one who needs a little UV protection under the sun’s fierce rays. Try the vet-recommended, lick-safe Sun Protector Spray from Epi-Pet to sooth and protect your light-haired pets (and/or their noses!) from the sun. Check out epi-pet.com from $17.95.

New Ferries = BC Employment?

By Eva Seelye

British Columbia Ferry Services, Inc., better known as BC Ferries, plans to replace the aging inter-island fleet with five new ferries of two different classes, and, hopefully, they’ll be built right at home in British Columbia.

“We are doing a tremendous amount of work with local industry,” says Mark Wilson, BC Ferries vice-president of strategy and community engagement, speaking in favor of B.C. shipyards. “We are doing everything that we can to create the conditions for local industry to bid and submit the best that they can

on this.” The company will take cost, product, timeline, and risk into consideration.

Two models will be ordered for the new small inter-island ferries. The 107-meter-long Salish class holds 600 passengers and crew and the 81-meter-long Island class has room for 300 passengers and crew.

The total number of ordered ferries will be announced as we’re headed to press, but as of now, the Victoria-built Mayne Queen, Bowen Queen, and Powell River Queen—all 53 years old—are set to retire. But smaller ferries

We are doing everything that we can to create the conditions for local industry to bid and submit the best that they can on this.

aren’t the only new vessels in the works. Five of their fleet’s larger Victoria-built C-class ships that carry up to 1,500 passengers need to be replaced, and BC Ferries has already requested proposals for naval architect and engineering support to create bid packages and review shipyards’ proposals for this project.

According to the Vancouver Sun, hundreds of millions of dollars in ferry construction has gone to Europe. Just last year, $200 million was spent on three new Salish class ferries for BC Ferries, an independent company that is subsidized by the B.C. government.

Local shipyard workers have lobbied for a shipbuilding industry in B.C. for years. Premier John Horgan explains, “The benefits to the community of having shipbuilding jobs in a maritime province are significant and those have diminished over time because of the policy choices of the previous government. And

we are looking at what policy changes we can make to revitalize the shipbuilding industry.”

Horgan is doing what he can to assist the workers in B.C. and is “looking at all options available to make sure there are community benefits when public monies are expanded.”

Allied Shipbuilders Ltd. Of North Vancouver President Chuck Ko explains, “There’s no recognition of the social benefits of building ships in B.C. Adding such work would provide highpaying work.” Many unionized companies in B.C. can’t compete with Polish shipyards that pay lower wages, such as the shipyard that built the most recent order of Salish class ferries.

BC Ferries spokeswoman Tessa Humphries says it’s the first step to a new major local vessel construction. The bid package is expected in the next few years with the first new vessel projected to go into service by 2024. Costs aren’t yet available.

POSITIONS FOR MARINE TECHNICIANS IN ROCHE HARBOR

New Navico COO

By Eva Seelye

Jamie Elgie–previously the chief marketing officer of Wilson Electronics–was recently appointed to Navico as their new Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. He is responsible for sales, marketing, and operations activities for Navico’s brands throughout the Americas including Lowrance, Simrad, B&G, and C-MAP. Preceding his time at Wilson Electronics—a Utah-based marketer and manufacturer of cellular infrastructure equipment–Elgie spent ten years leading the iPhone, iPad, and iPod accessories division at Belkin International. Here, he also launched Belkin International’s WeMo home automation line, and led customer care and marketing organizations. He entered the workforce in brand management at Procter and Gamble. A married man with four children, Elgie currently resides in Merrimack, New Hampshire.

“In this competitive market, it is important to have executives that can operate with a clear strategic vision,” said Leif Ottosson, CEO of Navico in a press release. “With his extensive leadership experience, we are confident Jamie is the right person to drive our brands to increased market penetration, and we are looking forward to the results of his leadership.”

"With our rapidly expanded product portfolio as well as recent mergers and acquisitions, there has never been a more exciting time to help lead the Navico team,” remarks Elgie.

“I look forward to taking on Navico's operational responsibilities and working closely with our customers and employees to maximize our success.”

NOMAR BUMPERS

23 41

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.
