FROM THE HELM Onward and Upward!
In a baton handoff, there are incoming and outgoing runners. The key is that these runners maintain the same pace in the exchange zone until the handoff is Schelleen Rathkopf complete, and then the race continues. As the new Managing Editor of Northwest Yachting magazine, I can say with certainty that the baton has been safely passed – not because I’m the world’s best runner, but because the magazine has a team of loyal and passionate pacemakers (many who are named on this page). I grew up in a power boat family where the water gene floated from one generation to the next. When I was a kid, we had a 32’ cabin cruiser, Shawnee, for our family of six. She was moored on the east side of the Ballard Locks. In college I learned to sail, then race, followed by race management, and eventually, regatta ownership with Whidbey Island Race Week (now Point Roberts Race Week). My experience growing up in Seattle has
always led me to play in Puget Sound. I’ve given my new role as Editor a lot of thought. And what I’d like to do at Northwest Yachting is similar to what a music conductor does. That is, bring together an assortment of complementary sounds to make music that sounds great. If we take this analogy into the power, sail, and fish arenas, and add in the SUP, kayak, row and canoe fields – we can create a community that truly speaks to our region’s full boating experience. To get underway, we’ve added some new voices to the mix. Cruiser extraordinaire Deane Hislop will be taking over the Ports of Call column. You will also
see Onboard with Margaret Pommert, a powerboater, sailor, racer, and cruiser who has so much experience to share. Beginning in March, Nigel Barron’s voice will be added with the column, Ask Nigel! This will replace Ask the Experts and feature boating guru Nigel Barron, who will provide expert advice on your boating-related questions. And finally, Mark Yuasa of the Northwest Marine Trade Association with be writing a recreational fishing column, chock full of interesting nibbles and bites from a recreational fisherman’s point of view. Mark’s column will replace Kevin’s Catch as columnist Kevin Klein is retiring after a great three-year run in the magazine. So, we’ve been busy. And there is still much work to be done as we continue to grow the boating lifestyle and experience in the Pacific Northwest through the pages of Northwest Yachting. Onward! — Schelleen Rathkopf, Managing Editor

Multi-Million Dollar Dock Completed at Elliott Bay By Evin Moore
In early January, Elliott Bay Marina of Seattle, the largest private marina on the West Coast, announced the completion of their new N-Dock that adds almost 1,000 feet of new dock to the marina. From planning to completion, the project was three years in the making. The new floating concrete structure replaces the previous dock built in the 1990s. The new dock is more robust than its predecessor and has three Yacht Power Centers that make the outside of the dock ideal moorage for superyachts up to 300’. The inside of the dock has permanent moorage for vessels up to 38’. The new dock will also provide increased wave
attenuation, making the entire marina basin calmer overall. The dock was built by International Marine Floatation, a leading manufacturer of floating concrete structures, in Surrey, British Columbia. Dock sections range in length from 125 feet to 165 feet long, with the largest segments weighing over 1 million pounds. The dock was towed in seven sections, two at a time, over 5 months from the Fraser River in British Columbia. The previous N-Dock had a treated timber wave fence on it to help mitigate wave action. The timber wave fence had reached the end of its lifespan and needed to be replaced, although the dock itself The new N dock under construction in 2019. Fit for superyachts up to 300' long, the dock had to be towed in from its assembly location in British Columbia in seven different sections.

was in good condition and still had many years in its life span. Replacing the existing wave fence was not an option as that would have involved placing a large quantity of treated lumber in the water. The wave fence was replaced with a concrete “brick” technology that did not exist in 1990 when the marina was built. Due to Elliott Bay’s Clean Marina Certification and interest in environmental best practices, the retired dock was donated to the Port of Poulsbo. This will allow Poulsbo to significantly increase their guest moorage and amenities for boaters at little cost to the Port. The old fingers for the existing 38-foot slips were reused and mounted to the new dock, and all the power centers and dock boxes were replaced. “This improvement will benefit not only Elliott Bay Marina,” said Dwight Jones, general manager, but “the entire region will be positively affected by the increased supply and quality of moorage for visiting super yachts. We look forward to hosting the world!”

Scandies Rose Fundraiser By Evin Moore
On New Year’s Eve, the 130foot crab fishing vessel Scandies Rose sank 170 miles southwest of Kodiak Island while delivering crab pots for the start of the winter season. Of the seven crew members, five are missing and presumed dead. The Coast Guard received a distress call at around 10 p.m., arrived around 2 a.m., and searched the area for 20 hours using four Jayhawk helicopters, a cutter, and two airplanes. The
two survivors, John Lawler and Dean Gribble Jr., were spotted in a life raft and rescued, showing only slight signs of hypothermia. Another life raft was spotted but on closer inspection was found to be empty. The five missing crew members are Captain and Coowner Gary Cobban Jr., David Lee Cobban, Arthur Ganacias, Brock Rainey, and Seth Rousseau-Gano. According to a statement from Gribble, the crew was facing 20-foot
18 NORTHWEST YACHTING || FEBRUARY 2020
seas, 40-mph winds, and ice. Spray will often freeze on deck in those types of conditions, adding a large amount of weight to the vessel and reducing stability. The cause of the sinking is still not known and is under investigation by the Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board. Dan Mattsen, who coowned the Scandies Rose with Gary Cobban Jr., has stated that he is cooperating fully with investigators, and it is not known yet if the Coast
Guard will hold a Marine Board to investigate the sinking. Commercial fishing is listed as one of the most dangerous professions in the U.S., according to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. In a video, Gribble stated that he went from “sleeping to swimming” in about 10 minutes. He and Lawler were able to put on survival suits, which float and provide some protection from hypothermia, before being swept overboard by a wave. They managed to swim to one of the two life rafts that were released when the ship went under. A Facebook Fundraiser and two separate GoFundMe pages for the victim’s families have been set up at the time of this writing. The Facebook Fundraiser was established by Marissa Albaugh and Deb Rhoades and has raised $48,000 at the time of this writing, while one GoFundMe page (bit.ly/2NLpbpN) has raised $4,000 of a $10,000 goal and the other $4,672 of a $15,000 goal. The first GoFundMe was established by Hailey Engstrom and Lukas Engstrom, the children of William (WE) Engstrom, who was the deck boss on the Scandies Rose for 10 years. A second GoFundMe was established by the family of Seth Rousseau-Gano (bit.ly/2NGRJkc).

WA Parks Suspends Grants for Mobile Pump-Out Program By Pete DeLaunay
The Washington State Parks Boating Program will no longer provide funds for mobile pumpout skiffs to remove sewage at no charge from holding tanks in marinas on Lake Washington, Portage Bay, the Duwamish River, Gig Harbor and Liberty Bay, effective February 29, 2020. Funding for the Clean Vessel Act grant program
comes from taxes on boating fuel and fishing equipment. Washington State Parks and federal officials performed an audit of the mobile pump-out program, and determined it was not sustainable. “We are looking for ways to provide the mobile service in those areas during boating season, May Continued on Page 26

to September,” said Rob Sendak, WSP boating program manager, “and we are taking a look at doing the free service on certain days of the week.” “There was no requirement for public comment about the program,” he said. “And there is no formal appeal process but Washington Parks welcomes comments or feedback.” Boaters were disappointed to learn that there was no public comment period or opportunity for boaters to demonstrate the value of the program as a good investment for clean water in increasingly crowded fresh waterways. Many say the fixed pump-out stations are hard to find, hard to get to, often don’t work properly and are crowded in tight waterways. In addition, there are many new boaters who don’t have proper training for the inconvenient and hard-to-access fixed pump-out stations. The Washington State Parks website says 10.8 million gallons

of sewage were prevented from contaminating Washington's waters by boaters using Clean Vessel Act-supported pump-out facilities and free mobile pump-out services. In 1992, Congress passed the Clean
Sail Northwest - New & Brokerage - Power & Sail
Vessel Act to help reduce pollution from vessel sewage discharges into U.S. waters. Established by the federal act, the program funds the construction, renovation, operation and maintenance of pumpout and dump stations for use by recreational boaters. “After pumping nearly 1 million gallons of sewage from boat holding tanks,” said QCYC member Terry Durfee, Terry & Sons Mobile Marine Pumpout, “Washington Parks no longer feels the pumpout service is a good use of federal grant money. “We always felt a sense of pride in helping to keep our local waterways clean, and never thought in a million years that the State would end this grant program,” Terry said. Pumpout Seattle will attempt to support boaters in the fresh water with a for-profit business – charging $25 per service. “We hope boaters will do the right thing, using fixed pumpouts or a paid service. Not only is it illegal to pump your boats sewage overboard, it is also gross.” Boaters who care about the environment and the importance of the pump-out service should contact Rob Sendak (Rob.Sendak@ parks.wa.gov - Cell:360-628-1876 Desk:360-902-8836) and Governor Jay Inslee, who prides himself on environmental stewardship (360902-4111 and email @governor. wa.gov/contact).

She was also a welcome presence at CWB’s annual Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival as well as participating in multiple CWB fundraisers. Colleen shared her passion for maritime heritage and
Pacific Northwest maritime lost one of the greats with the passing of Center for Wooden Boats Co-Founder Colleen Wagner on January 2, 2020. Colleen and her husband Dick co-founded the CWB together in the late 1960s and despite his passing in 2017, Colleen carried on their shared vision for hands-on education. In March of 2019, she participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the
education in most of her daily conversations and always took great delight in seeing adults and kids experiencing the boats at CWB for themselves. In addition to co-founding CWB, Colleen also founded and served as Executive Director for the Discovery Modelers Education Center, managed the former Museum of Sea and Ships, and served as events and education manager for Northwest Seaport.
If you’re an active boater in the region, you have likely benefitted from one of her many educational programs and may not even have known it. That’s what happened to me. As Producer of Whidbey Island Race Week, I started a Kids Camp program in 2015. Every summer since, the Center for Wooden Boats has supplied the event with boat building kits that included all the necessary materials for kids to build their own toy boat. Included were things like a wood hull, sail cloth, string, and nails that when combined with markers, stickers, glitter, and glue, created quite a creative line up of new boats! For many years now, this activity has entertained hundreds of kids during the post-race parties at Race Week. It was Colleen Wagner who created this boatbuilding kit program. This is hands-on learning at its very best. Colleen and Dick Wagner were often recognized for their contributions to the preservation of wooden boats. In 2019, Colleen was honored with the

Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle will be hosting their popular Fridays in February Speaker Series, showcasing cruising and travel experiences. The series kicks off on February 7 when local sailors Graeme and Janna Cawrse Esarey with daughters Talia and Savai recount their attempt at crossing the Northwest Passage in a refitted Open 60 raceboat, Dogbark, sailing from Seattle to the Arctic. When ice blocked their way, they decided to head for the warmer waters of Hawai’i and the South Pacific. Scott and Karen Tobiason share stories of cruising more familiar waters on February 14, covering familiar stops and new anchorages in the San Juan and Gulf Islands. On February 21, Sarah Jones reminisces about tackling the Inside Passage solo last summer in Beyond, a 1968 Islander 37. And finally, on February 28, Steve Johnson shares experiences and lessons learned after eight times in the Van-Isle race aboard the Transpac 52, Mist. The talks will be hosted at Corinthian Yacht Club from 1800 hours to 2100 hours, free for members and $5 for non-members. A dinner prepared by Chef C a t h e r i n e We a t b r o o k f o r $10 and no-host bar will open at 1800. Presentations begin at 1900 hours. Please RSVP at cycseattle.org.

Its clients cruise and fish the waters of Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, British Columbia and beyond, also offering yacht charter vacations from the San Juans to Alaska. “The Pacific Northwest offers some of the best cruising and fishing on the continent, but it also has some of the most challenging boating conditions,” said Kelly Grindle, CEO and president of Hatteras and CABO Yachts. “We know that Ray and the Worth Avenue Yachts team, with their impressive depth of experience both in new yacht sales and the local region, will be outstanding representatives.” Look for Worth Avenue Yachts at the Seattle Boat Show, Jan. 24-Feb. 1, 2020, at the CenturyLink Field and Event Center, East 602.

More Westward Ho Dear Northwest Yachting, I was pleased to see Nick Bischoff’s letter to the editor in the December issue asking for information on a drawing of the S/V Westward Ho. I have the same Ernest Norling drawing in my living room! I am the son of Bill Helsell and nephew of Jack Helsell, who together owned Westward Ho from the late 40s to about 1960 and who sailed Westward Ho in the ‘49 Transpac. I only sailed on her as a young boy, but I have a fair bit of knowledge of the history of Westward Ho and could also connect Nick with a couple of other Pacific Northwest sailors who may know more. Please feel free to pass along my email address and phone. —Pete Helsell Orcas Island

Good Morning Northwest Yachting, I believe I know the location of the Rawson Molds you are writing about in the November 2019 edition of your yachting magazine. The current owner of the Rawson Molds may be Kurt Winterhalter from Stanwood, Washington. I had Kurt fabricate a Flybridge for one of my 32’ Rawson’s out of one of his molds that he has on his property. When I went to meet with Kurt, I observed all of the Rawson Molds on his property; 32’ 38’, and 42’. Like many of your readers, I’m a big fan of Rawson Boats. I’ve owned four 32-footers, and one 42-footer, all of which are charter boats actively fishing out of Ilwaco, Washington, at Sea Breeze Charters. The boat names include Bluefin, Dolphin, Sea Quest, Discovery, and the 42-footer, named Nauti Lady. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. —Steve Sohlstrom Newcastle

NWY: Thank you Steve! We reached out to Kurt and you’re right! He acquired the Rawson molds for models under 38’ in the mid-1980s and stored them until 2010 when they were destroyed in an effort to reclaim his backyard. Kurt remembers that at the time of his purchase, there was another buyer remembered only as, “the kid from Anacortes”, who may have been from Kvichak. This kid acquired the mold for the 38’ Rawson in the late 80s. To get a Rawson mold now for models under 38’ feet, one will need to splash a new mold from an existing boat. For Rawson models 38’ plus, one needs to find “the kid”.

Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 sized double cabins. And two benches in the salon provide two extra berths, making her a comfortable cruiser that easily sleeps 4-6 people. “Some details are really amazing in this project, especially if we think of her size,” notes Massimo Gino, a founder of Nauta Design, a firm which has designed many Beneteau models including the Oceanis 30.1. “The aft platform is very comfortable and the shape of the deck on either side of the companionway has been angled for better use of the deck hatches. The interior spaces are strikingly large and high for a boat this size, and when you enter the shower room you feel like you are on a much bigger yacht.” For performance, the Oceanis 30.1 has a square-top mainsail, a large overlapping
genoa, a furling code zero, and an asymmetric spinnaker. Cruisers can choose between standard draft, shallow draft, swing keel and lifting keel options depending on their primary cruising needs. The first Oceanis set sail in 1986 and set the standard in international cruising. Met with unwavering success for over 30 years, Oceanis continues the tradition in the Oceanis 30.1 to provide a boat that is elegant, super comfortable, and easy to handle and sail. To learn more, visit Signature Yachts on Lake Union.
Specs & Info
Everyone is talking about the 2020 Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 and for good reason— she’s an awesome boat! Cruising World named her the Best Performance Cruiser for 2020 and she is SAIL magazine’s 2020 Best Small Cruiser! The smallest cruiser in the Oceanis lineup, the 30.1 is designed to be easy to sail, lively to helm, and promises new experiences and thrills. She is small enough to be trailerable, but robust enough for coastal sailing and high sea adventures. Dinghy sailors will like that they can choose between a tiller on double rudders or twin steering wheels for added security when driving in heavy air. Her interior provides unbeatable living space for its size. The headroom space is 6.9 feet at midship and 6.1 feet in the two good-

Sabre 48 Salon Express
bed – perfect for those who like to stretch out, not feel cramped, and who may have previously found sleeping on a boat difficult. Her galley is also spacious with plenty of counter space for food prep and presentation. The Sabre 48 is designed with a great utility space forward of the engine room that can be made into additional sleeping quarters, storage for extra food and drinks, or water toys. And if this isn’t reason enough for you to check her out, her pod drives and joystick controls will likely put you over the tipping point as they give every operator the confidence to dock her (even in the most difficult of
circumstances). Learning the systems on a new boat can be challenging enough for the busy professional, but adding docking into the mix can keep you away entirely. The Sabre 48 makes it easy – and docking isn’t always easy.
Specs & Info
The Sabre 48 Salon Express is a great boat for cruising. Her contemporary, yet traditional, exterior gives her the look of a classic with the performance of a modern yacht with many of the bells and whistles that deliver style and ease to the new or seasoned boater alike. With a cruising speed between 27-32 knots, she will most certainly get you where you want to go in a hurry. But after spending time on her while underway, you may find yourself asking, “Why?” Why get from Point A to Point B in a hurry when the remarkably low sound levels that are characteristic of the Sabre 48 allows for a super pleasant experience while cruising (without all the annoying ringing in your ears following a long trip)? Featuring two spacious cabins and two heads on board, the Sabre 48’s interior in no way compromises on space and light, giving the impression of being a much larger yacht. Her master berth and en suite head have an athwartships orientation, allowing for flat cabin sole on all sides of the spacious island queen

Teach a person to fish and chances are, they’ll want a Hewescraft. With its rugged hull construction combined with the roomy fishing decks, the Sportsman is right up there with the best of the best.

The More You Know Atlas Sailing Instrument Although a good sailing watch can help you time your approach to the race line, sometimes you need a little more information, and, better yet, a device that displays information for the whole crew on an easyto-read screen. The Atlas from Vakaros is a sailing tool that uses real-time GPS to track speed and give accurate, responsive heading. The Atlas is capable of measuring the heel, pitch, and leeway of a boat, plus the VMG (velocity made good) to a mark or bearing. An accurate time-to-line calculation gives an estimation of the time and distance to line
with just a glance. Analytics also provide feedback on performance and track changes over time. Visibility is a big deal on the water, so the characters on the screen are adjustable in size and can go as large as 40 mm. Anti-reflective glass makes the Atlas visible even in direct sunlight. For low light or night sailing, the screen has a low-power red backlight to preserve night vision. The body of the Atlas
The Reel Deal Shimano Stella SW Fishing Reel Any anglers out there who are looking to go after larger quarry and feel like spoiling themselves should look at the Stella SW Reel from Shimano. This spinning reel, which comes in multiple sizes, is mostly aluminum, including the cold-forged aluminum spool. The Stella sports three gearing ratios; the Power Gear is designed for jigging, the High Gear for popping, and Extreme Gear, which is meant for the fastest retrieval rate. Almost every component of the reel is made from metal, which reduces the power lost through flex that can occur in other reels. Depend-

ing on the model of Stella SW, the reel will provide between 29 and 66 pounds of drag, which comes in handy when taking on larger fish that like to put up a fight. The reel is waterproof, with all the most important components sealed with a series of O-rings and gaskets that keep out water, sand, and salt. The triple-lipped gasket makes it very difficult for water to enter the rotor, and some reviewers have even submerged the Stella fully under water without any leaks. If you need a little upgrade when it comes to fishing reels, check out the Stella SW on fish. shimano.com. Reels sell for about $1,200.
is constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum while the screen is made from shatterresistant Gorilla Glass. The Atlas weighs in at just over 6 ounces and is just half an inch thick. The device connects with the Vakaros Connect App on your smart phone for updates and customization. If you need the edge in your next race, check out the Atlas at vakaros.com. Units sell for about $1,300.
Neat Seat
Short Take
Leader Accessories Bucket Captain’s Chair
Steering System Lubricant
After all the electronics on board have been upgraded, it’s time to think about upgrading the piece of equipment you’ll use the most; the captain’s chair. It’s hard to enjoy even the best days on the water if your back is complaining the whole time. The Two-Tone Bucket Captain’s Chair from Leader Accessories is constructed from a high-density foam that is comfortable and provides enough support to keep your back happy all day. The seat of the chair features a flip-up bolster which can add height to the chair when needed, allowing you to select a low or high backrest. The curved design of the chair keeps you in a natural and comfortable sitting position. Stainless steel fasteners and plastic backrest prevent rust, while marine-grade vinyl resists damage from UV and mildew. The chair comes in white with seven different color variations including charcoal, black, and blue. Different color options for the piping around the chair are also available.
Comfy, supportive, and adjustable!
Four mounting screws and washers are included with the chair. If you’d like to spend more time on the water in comfort, check out the Two-Tone Bucket Captain’s Chair on leaderaccessories.com. Chairs sell for about $220.
Sailboat steering systems are used often, from the moment saltwater touches the chains and wire, and it’s just a matter of time before corrosion sets in. A lubricant made for saltwater can help increase the lifespan of the steering systems on your boat. Chain Care+ from Edson is a fully synthetic hydrocarbon oil that has a high viscosity and high penetration while naturally repelling water. After the evaporation of the solvent, a thin insoluble film is left behind that works under high loads, is thermally stable, and works to minimize contamination and buildup of dirt. The spray nozzle on Chain Care+ decreases mess and wasted oil, and the extending nozzle attachments lets you cover every part of your steering system. If your boat’s steering system is squeaking and starting to rust, pick up some Chain Care+ from edsonmarine.com. Chain Care+ sells for about $30.

TRINIDAD HD
Odyssey HD multi-season antifouling combines controlled polishing ablative technology with a high copper content to provide a paint film strong enough to handle the tough marine environment from coast to coast. Odyssey HD is compatible over most finishes, 50 state V.O.C. compliant and will not build up over time leaving running surfaces smooth and clean. Odyssey HD’s copolymer resins withstand hauling and relaunching without losing effectiveness for both power and sailboats
Trinidad HD provides excellent, long lasting protection, even under the toughest antifouling conditions. Trinidad HD provides dependable in-water antifouling protection while meeting the 330 gram per liter VOC regulations. Trinidad HD does not require movement and works equally as well at the dock or underway. Its durable hard modified epoxy finish has excellent adhesion, and is highly abrasion resistant. A good choice for powerboat or sailboat use in tropical and other warm waters where extreme fouling exists. Trinidad HD is compatible over most hard antifouling finishes.

No Need to Whine Savino Wine Preserver
Short Take Sometimes you just want a glass of wine, but don’t want to open a whole bottle for just a quick sip. The Savino Wine Preserver is a glass carafe with a seal that keeps wine fresh for up to a week after the bottle is opened. Your drink is preserved by the float at the top of the glass, which uses a seal to minimize oxygen contact with the wine and reduce oxidation. The float turns with the bottle when wine is poured, automatically resealing when the carafe is put away. A sealing lid adds another layer of protection for your wine and prevents spills. The Savino holds 750 ml of wine and is sized to fit in most refrigerators. Any non-sparkling wine will work with the carafe, and each piece is dishwasher safe. If you never want to let a bottle of wine go to waste again, check out the Savino Wine Preserver at savinowine.com. Carafes sell for $49.95.
Shurhold Deck Mop Whether you’re working on getting your boat hauled out or thinking ahead to the next spring cleaning, a trustworthy mop is worth its weight in gold. The Water Sprite Deck Mop from Shurhold comes in either a 60” or 72” size and features a wooden handle that won’t scratch any surface on your boat, be it paint, chrome, vinyl, or powder coating. Renewable bamboo makes up the handle, which is light enough to use for hours on end. The head of the mop is made from a hyper-absorbent synthetic chamois that soaks up water to clean and dry a boat quickly. The chamois strips are almost three inches wide, don’t leave streaks after cleaning, and won’t mold or mildew, so the mop can be put away without being fully dry. To pick up a mop and get your deck in tiptop shape, head over to shurhold.com. Both sizes sell for $55.

Regatta Pouches When you’re in a regatta and need to make a quick reference to the course map or to the rules, it’s best to be sure exactly where those documents are and that they are safe from water damage. The Regatta Pouches from Arntson Marine are see-through cases that might come in handy in such situations. The pouches keep important documents like sailing instructions, tuning guides, and course illustrations visible and all in one place while at the same time protecting them from water and weather. The pouch is made from 100% vinyl with welded seams and a waterproof zipper keeps documents dry, an improve-
ment compared to the typical open-seam, leaky, stitched sailcloth pouches. The large size of the pouch allows for papers of almost any size and the fast-opening zipper replaces the more porous Velcro found on other pouches. A guide on reverse side shows racing signal flags with detailed explanations for quick reference. Extra space in the pouches can be used to protect other water-sensitive items like wallets, car keys, and cell phones. Check out the Regatta Pouches on arntsonmarine.com or fisheriessupply.com if you need an easy way to keep all your race documents in one place. Pouches sell for $15.

Anchor Yourself Kayak Anchor
With the popularity of kayak fishing increasing and more people bringing kayaks onboard, it’s only natural that kayak enthusiasts might need some extra gear, with a reliable anchor topping that list. A good anchor can hold the kayak steady while you fish, take a picture of wildlife on the shore, or while eating lunch. The Kayak Anchor from Best Marine Products is a collapsing mini-anchor that works for kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, jet skis, or even small boats. An easy-to-store nylon bag contains the anchor, 40 feet of marine rope, a buoy ball, and
a carabiner. The anchor opens with a twist of the locking collar, which opens the four flukes and slides down to secure them. The stainless steel carabiner at the end of the rope attaches to the boat, once the anchor is secure. If the anchor needs to be disengaged quickly, the carabiner releases and the buoy ball keeps the end of the line out of the water for you to retrieve later. The anchor is made of a galvanized iron resistant to rust. Add some peace of mind to your day on the water with a Kayak Anchor from bestmarineandoutdoors.com. Anchors sell for about $31.
Two Birds with One Stone Paddle and Boat Hook Combination On the water it’s best to have as many redundancies and backups in place as possible; if the main engine or mast breaks, you’ve got the auxiliary motor, and when that goes, grab the paddle. Obviously, the smaller your boat, the more effective paddling will be. A paddle is also a smart purchase for the tender, if you’re
corrosion. The bright orange head of the paddle can be used for signaling in an emergency. The twist-lock mechanism is strong enough to hold over 280 pounds without slipping. The Lexan polycarbonate hook is virtually unbreakable and guaranteed for life. Plus, its bright orange safety tip is
really having an unlucky day. The Paddle and Boat Hook Combination from Davis Instruments is a two-in-one paddle and hook that telescopes between 32 to 66 inches, making it easy to store when not in use. The body of the paddle is made from anodized aluminum tubing with a clear, hard coating that resists
easily removed to reveal a 3/4" Acme thread to attach mops and brushes. Some states require having a paddle on board, and even if your state doesn’t, it’s still not a bad idea to pick one up. Head over to davisinstruments.com to grab a paddle and boat hook combination, selling for about $50.

The bitter January cold was sapping his strength. The COB’s crewmates had gotten one of his arms into a Lifesling but were struggling unsuccessfully to pull him back on board. Miss Mayhem, a San Juan 24 sailboat, was much smaller than the 52-foot Transpac 52 Sonic and with correspondingly much smaller winches Lake Michigan, July 21, 2018 that afforded little mechanical advantage to hoist a COB aboard. “Man Overboard!” This dreaded hail Sonic contacted Miss Mayhem’s starboard came during the 110th Chicago Yacht Club side and Sonic bowman Brian Davies Race to Mackinac Island in Michigan.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein
Tournament Time! With the January closure of many of Washington’s Marine Areas, the biggest opener for blackmouth, or resident chinook salmon as they are also called, is pushed back to February 1st. This also means that the Northwest Salmon Derby Series, which includes three big winter salmon derbies in Marine Area 7, will happen the first three weeks of February and include the Resurrection Salmon Derby, the Friday Harbor Salmon Classic, and the Roche Harbor Salmon Classic. Notably, Area 7 is limited to retention of hatchery clipped fish during this season, so all the derbies will be under these rules. This will mean a lot of time on the road for many anglers in a three-week stretch if they plan on fishing all three derbies. It seems like there is always the possibility of wind in the forecast for derbies at that time of year, but the payoff in prize money has gotten big enough that the grind may be worth it. With that said, let’s dive into a breakdown of tournament time! First up on the docket for the 2020 Northwest Salmon Derby Series is the Resurrection Derby based out of Anacortes. This sold-out event started in 2010 and is produced by the Fidalgo-San Juan Islands chapter of Puget Sound

Anglers fishing club. It takes place February 1st and 2nd and will see 100 boats with a maximum of four anglers on each boat competing for a first prize of $12,000. This tournament was founded to honor the old Rosario derby, where heavyweight anglers from all over would come to test their skill in a foul weather derby. There are lots of tales and lots of memories made in the last ten years. Stories about late-night Christmastime shenanigans and pub crawls in Friday Harbor, the tournament’s original location, continue to be told. There was the story about blowing the lid off the yacht club there, too. There were beautiful days on the water and some big fish caught. Brutal weather and scratch fishing. It’s all part of the game. The main attraction is just getting anglers together and sporting friendly competition among some of the best salmon fisher people around. Next up is the Friday Harbor Salmon Classic that takes place February 7th & 8th, and is also already sold out. With a whopping $20,000 for first place, this is a big boy and girl derby with a large portion of the proceeds going to benefit a great cause, Salmon for Soldiers. Tournament founders Jimmie and Rustie Lawson have turned this competition into something really special. Friday Harbor is one of the best places anywhere to have a salmon tournament. I must admit I’m biased because these folks are good friends and everyone involved is great. And finally, the last derby of the series is the Roche Harbor Salmon Classic on February 14th and 15th. With nearly $30,000 in prize money, this is a big gun too, and yes, you guessed it, it’s also sold out! I’ve been on the winning team twice in this derby, and I can tell you from firsthand experience, it’s a total rush to win! The first win was in 2006, and there was a huge windstorm that kept many boats on the dock. It came down to the very last minute but we caught the winning (actually a tie) fish. The stuff of legends and I’ll never forget it! The second win was in 2014, when I got to see my good friends Andy and Carol Holman beside me on the podium. Roche Harbor’s Debbie Sandwith, Kevin Carlton, and Bill Shaw all work together to make this derby super special. Anyone entered in these three derbies are eligible to win the grand prize: a $75,000 Kingfisher boat and trailer, courtesy of the Northwest Marine Trade Association Northwest Salmon Derby Series. And that beats working! Continued on Page 88
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
Priorities + Consensus = Legislation Very few days go by without me being asked, “What’s the latest with copper bottom paint?” This query has followed my career at Northwest Marine Trade Association since the 2011 legislative action to phase out copper paint by 2020. Since Jan. 1, 2020, has come and gone (Happy New Year!), this month’s “On Watch’s” column writes itself with an update on this incredibly important topic. First, how did we get here? Stepping into the Way Back Machine that I received for Christmas, the year was 2011 when Northwest Marine Trade Association championed a bill to eliminate copper paint by 2020. While on the one hand, much has happened since then; on the other hand, very little has occurred on that front. Here is what I mean. The successful legislative action made Washington the first state in the country to legislatively vote to eliminate this chemical by 2020. Boaters and paint companies were getting acclimated to this big change. Alternatives came on the market and to quote my friend Tony Bulpin, “These new paints work but work differently.” Like I said, much happened. As the all-out ban deadline approached, Washington’s Department of Ecology discovered how harmful the alternative chemicals were for salmon and Puget Sound. That finding changed everything. With the support of the state’s $7 billion boating industry, they succeeded in getting a bill passed in 2017 that pushed the ban out to 2021. Yikes, that’s like next year. Meanwhile, their scientists and data experts went about collecting information. What they found was not that the leach rate approach (like California adopted and supported by NMTA) was the preferred path, but rather the bill for the 2020 session would move the phase-out to 2025. Hard stop. If and when this bill passes, boaters will once again be able to put as much copper on their boat’s bottom as they want just like in the old days. Like I said, not much has changed. What you just read was the nuts and bolts, no politics, just-the-facts outline of the last nine years. Welcome to my world. What lies ahead is hard to say. As with any bill, it’s always good to remind yourself just how important two key words are to legislative success: priorities and consensus. Think about a graph. Put “Definite Priority” on the far right of the x-axis and “Not Important” on the left side of the x-axis. Now, place “Consensus Reached” on the top of the y-axis and “No Consensus” on the bot-
V
58 NORTHWEST YACHTING || FEBRUARY 2020
tom part of the y-axis. Okay, put down your graphing calculator. Now, remind yourself that when bills pass in a short amount of time (or long amount of time for that matter), look for that sweet spot where priorities and consensus line up. While it’s hard to see what final bill will look like at this point, it’s safe to say that this bill (to move the phase-out from the immediate 2021) has the makings of a priority and a consensus that the 2021 is unacceptable. The bill’s prime sponsor, Rep. Mike Chapman, Democrat-Port Townsend, has made this a priority. All good on that front. There’s much more to getting a bill passed than meets the eye. For one, keep in mind the importance of the committee structure to filter through the thousands of bills introduced each session. If the committee chair in both chambers is not on board, you can “forget about it.” Plus, leadership in both chambers must care enough to get the bill heard on the floor calendar. And I haven’t even brought the up the esoteric Rules Committee. Right now, you might be saying, “It’s no wonder nothin’ ever gets done down there.” To that, I would say, “Yes, you’re right and be glad.” All too often, the various obstacles prevent problem bills from becoming onerous laws. Lawmakers have to prioritize their goals to keep the bills moving. A successful bill gathers no dust. The party not in power (in Washington, it’s the Republicans) can send signals and gather power by slowing down legislation. This “drawing out the clock” occurs when bills are heard on the Senate or House floor with all the lawmakers present. Using as much time as allowed, legislator after legislator will stand up and fill the air, preventing other bills from being heard. If a bill is not heard, then it cannot be passed. So, there you have it. A primer on the legislative process. I promise to keep you up to speed as to how this applies to the copper paint bill. I’m pleased that we have met the first criteria to getting a bill passed (stakeholder agreement, for the most part, leading to a tenuous consensus) and a priority for the boating industry and several key lawmakers. Let’s see what happens! Peter Schrappen is the Northwest Marine Trade Association’s Government Affairs Director and the Clean Boating Foundation’s Executive Director. Additionally, he serves on the boards of the Boating Safety Advisory Council, Washington Boating Alliance, and U.S. Superyacht Association.
Galley Gourmet By Bill Shaw
Steaming Up Valentine’s Day In the kitchen, there has always been a connection with love and food but there has also been an obsession for the food of love. As a young cook, I was always amused by my first chef, Sally McArthur. When she was creating a new dish that sparked her fancy, she would declare, “Now that’s sexy.” How can food be sexy, some may ask? The dating ritual of having a romantic dinner together on a first date may be more chemical than we might think. Falling in love produces a chemical that makes our bodies feel excited and that same aphrodisiac is created when we eat certain foods. Food such as dark chocolate, apples, almonds, and avocados contain a chemical that creates an excitement. Some foods may make us think loving thoughts like bananas, asparagus, and avocados that contain high levels of vitamin B. Spices, including cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, increase circulation and give us a rush. And then, there is always that good bottle of wine, which may provide a little relaxation and enhance the flavors of the dinner. With Valentine’s Day soon approaching, skip making a reservation at your favorite restaurant and surprise your special someone with a romantic meal prepared by you at home.
I
Preparing a romantic meal can be easier than you think. I remember my first romantic dinner when I was still in high school. My girlfriend, with the help of her mother, prepared a simple three-course dinner with a salad, entrée and dessert that I have never forgotten. The lights were low, and a single candle lit the decorative table, there was light jazz in the background or was it Journey; anyway, the evening was perfect and more memorable than a meal at the finest of restaurants. What I remember most about her menu was that it was mostly prepared in advance, which allowed her to focus her attention at the table and not in the kitchen. I have prepared recipes for a three-course dinner that can be customized to your liking and allows you to personalize each dish, if you choose. These courses can also be shared on a single platter. Have fun with it and remember that you don’t have to wait until Valentine’s Day to create your romantic memory. Bill Shaw is the head chef of Roche Harbor Resort and Marina on 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.
Hand Salad of Romaine Hearts and Caesar Dressing Serves 2
Chef’s Note: I chose a Caesar salad for this “hand salad” adaptation. Create your own inspired hand salad with your favorite ingredients.
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, finely chopped 1 large garlic clove, minced ½ teaspoon sea salt 1 large egg yolk 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 droplet Tabasco sauce 1⁄8 teaspoon white pepper, ground
1⁄3 cup olive oil ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 1 head of romaine, hearts only ¼ cup Asiago cheese, finely grated ¼ cup croutons, roughly chopped ¼” 2 tablespoons, crispy bacon chopped ¼” 4 each cherry tomatoes, sliced ¼”
Directions: In a food processor, add two of the anchovy fillets, garlic and salt. Pulse until a paste forms. This can be done by hand using the side of a knife on cutting board or a mortar and pestle. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, white pepper and Tabasco to the food processor and blend until it is light yellow. While the food processor is on, slowly drizzle small amounts of the olive oil into the egg mixture until it begins to thicken and turn glossy. Add a teaspoon of water and continue blending until the dressing is light and creamy. Add the Parmesan cheese and blend. Taste and add salt if needed. Remove from processor and store in refrigerated until needed. Using the food processor or mortar and pestle, combine one anchovy, chopped parsley and olive oil into a colorful oil. Cut the root end of the romaine, remove all the large exterior leaves and discard. Search through the remaining leaves and choose leaves that no longer than 5 inches in length and 2 inches in width. Choose the best leaves as you will only need 7-8 leaves for the salad. Wash leaves in cold water and dry with a paper towel. Wrap leaves gently in food wrap and refrigerate until needed. When ready to serve, paint the lower white half of each leaf, leaving 2 to 3 inches of the green leaf tip dry. Arrange the painted leaves on a chilled platter, then sprinkle each leaf with Asiago cheese, followed by bacon and tomato slices. Drizzle parsley-anchovy oil over the leaves and serve immediately.

Do not allow garlic to brown, this will make the sauce bitter. Add cream, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Let sauce simmer for 20 minutes, let cream reduce by a volume of 25%. Stir sauce often during this process. Remove from heat, then stir to recombine butter and cream (this step helps prevent the butter from separating). Hold warm until needed. In a large pan with salted water, add pasta and cook until al dente. Rinse with cold water and cut into six 4” x 4” pieces. In a large sauce pan over medium high heat, add olive oil. Season shrimp and salmon with salt and pepper. Add seafood to pan and cook until shrimp and salmon are cooked through. Deglaze pan with wine. To build each ravioli stack, ladle 1 ounce of cream sauce in the center of each plate followed by a warm sheet of pasta. Divide the wilted spinach in half and arrange on top of the first sheets of pasta. Drizzle 1 ounce of cream sauce over the spinach. Place the second warm sheet of pasta over the spinach, followed by the cooked shrimp and salmon, then drizzle another ounce of cream sauce over seafood. Top with third warm sheet of pasta, followed by ¼ cup of cream sauce over each ravioli stack. Garnish with crab, Parmesan cheese, and basil. Serve immediately.

UNDERSTANDING THE PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET SYSTEM
THERATINGGAME
Words: John Abel • Photos: Jan Anderson
Sailboat racing can be simple or complex, expensive or even economical, highly competitive or casual and fun. How do you figure out a fair system of competition for everyone?
62 NORTHWEST YACHTING || FEBRUARY 2020
It doesn’t get much better than going out for a pleasant race I on a sunny Sunday afternoon with friends and/or family. Still, racing is racing. No matter how you look at it, it’s still a competition and your goal is to try to beat the next guy and have the bragging rights back at the club. Racing in a One-Design fleet is the easiest and, all things considered, the most up-front methodology. In a One-Design class, you know what place you’ve finished in as soon as crossing the line. This
figure out where we finished. How did we do? Here’s where a handicapping system comes into play – and because those systems can be a bit arcane, it’s important to know how they work. The most common and popular system is PHRF, which stands for Performance Handicap Racing Fleet. It’s fairly simple and inexpensive, making it ideal for the casual and serious racer alike.
PHRF EXPLAINED There are many different handicapping systems that suit a wide variety of needs. They will fall into one of two main categories; performance-based or measurement-based. PHRF is mainly performance-based. A handicap for a particular boat begins with a base number that has been determined by observing individual designs over a period of time to determine how they stack up against other designs. Your boat may be different than that “base” boat, so a qualified handicapper will review your application to determine how your boat may differ. For example, you might have smaller sails, or a fixed or a feathering propeller. In any event, to attain your proper handicap you must join your regional PHRF organization – they need to size you up and set up a fair field. The number you are ultimately assigned represents an amount of time in seconds. Pretty simple, the lower your number, the faster you have been rated. At the end of the race, the elapsed times
for each boat are fed into a scoring system and calculated along with each boat’s handicap, and voila, we have our results! These are often posted after a certain amount of revelry has already taken place, which brings us to the first of the flaws in the system. Suspicion! If you’re realistic, you’ll look at your results and simply say, “We just have to do better next time.” Or maybe you won, in which case there’s no suspicion. The system seems to be performing as it should. But there is always a certain element of doubt, especially in a performance-based system like PHRF. If you find yourself having consistently poor finishes, human nature dictates that one of your concerns will be whether your boat has the right handicap or not. A good thing about PHRF is that you do have the right of appeal. While handicaps are sometimes adjusted for an entire fleet of One-Design boats, more often than not, it is up to you to provide your reasons, submit your appeal and wait for the handicapper ’s council of your regional association to decide. Often the result can be disappointing, and you go back to being suspicious.
THE FORMULA It’s important to understand how a handicap is determined. It is based on the optimum scenario, that your boat has a clean, freshly painted bottom, crispy new sails, all equipment operates smoothly and efficiently, and of course, you and your crew are expert sailors.

competition also tends to be closer due to the similarities of the boats. After all, everyone in the field is exploiting the same boat’s abilities. More often than not, however, we find ourselves racing against a mixed bag of boats. Cruisers, sport boats, big boats, small boats, how do we really know where we stand? Some boats are lighter and faster than others, some are better off the wind, and some excel in lighter conditions. At the end of the day though, we still need to

Before you let your suspicions get away with you, it’s important to ask yourself “Have I really prepared my boat the best that I can, and am I sailing to its handicap effectively.” Sorry to be honest, but most of the time that answer is “No.” Another flaw is that PHRF has not kept up well with the advent of newer,
lightweight designs since its inception in the early 80s. We’ve all been out there and had that feeling that everything is going great—the boat feels good, the crew are happy, the skipper is feeling large—until we round the top mark, the sport boats skip up onto a plane, and they're gone!
Below: Some boats are really in a class by themselves. For boats like Crossfire, a Reichel-Pugh RP55, there isn't any chance of racing in a One Design class in the PNW. PHRF makes competition possible.

To add insult to injury, the sport crews end up with the best seats in the bar at the end of the race. The best we can hope for is that they haven’t eaten all the nachos too! Really the sport boats should be racing in a One-Design division on their own, which would undoubtedly be their preference too. However, most of the time there are not enough numbers to allow for that, so they get lumped in with mom, dad and the kids in the Catalina 30. Over time, improvements have been made to the system to address some of the issues that have been identified. In the early going, the calculation of your corrected time for a race was based on a “Time on Distance” model (ToD). This method did not account for issues like a dying wind or a change of current during a race. It also relied on race organizers measuring the distance of the course accurately. Eventually the “Time on Time” model (ToT) was developed. Instead of calculating by the course distance, results are calculated by a time correction factor.
THERATINGGAME
ORC: A RATING ALTERNATIVE
OFFSHORE RACING CONGRESS The ORC (Offshore Racing Congress) rule is a reasonable, measurement-based alternative to PHRF and is showing up in many sailboat racing events throughout the Pacific Northwest. The real strength of the ORC system is that from the measurement data on a particular boat, ORC produces one base number, the General Purpose Handicap (GPH). Here, it also lists additional rating numbers that take into account the type of race course (buoy or distance) being raced and current weather (light, medium, or heavy wind) conditions.
Simply put, this method addresses some of the shortcomings of the ToD method, and experts will tell you that ToT is the fairer approach. For most boat owners, PHRF is a simple and inexpensive, if slightly flawed, way to allow us to go out and have some fun racing. If you understand its shortcomings and manage your own expectations appropriately, it is all most of us require for racing. On a different level, there is the issue of how race managers, clubs, and event organizers apply PHRF.
PRACTICAL MATTERS Most of us started out by joining in our club’s beer can race program. There we have a mix of casual and novice racers mixed in with the local rock stars. It can be a little deflating for those less experienced to never reach the podium, so it’s important that clubs themselves come up with a way to keep the newbies engaged. After all, they might become the rock stars of tomorrow, and everyone needs a little glory moment from time to time to hold their interest. Within the confines of your own club racing program there are options. You can assign your own club-level handicaps to account for experience or lack thereof. Even better, you can use a golf-style handicapping system where individual handicaps change after every race based on how well each boat is performing. This is not at all difficult to do and US Sailing, which owns PHRF, has an excellent dissertation on their website on how to do this effectively. It is most important that once you leave your club and venture out into larger regional events, you must have a valid handicap obtained through your regional PHRF organization. You’ll also need to maintain the currency of that handicap by keeping up with your annual membership dues. Unfortunately, it has become an all too common practice at some events to allow entry to boats that do not possess a valid handicap. Instead, the regatta gives them an arbitrary handicap. More entries mean more revenue for the regatta. I get that, but arbitrary handicaps, given often by one person who has only a modest understanding, circumvent the proper handicap
Developed in the late 1960s, ORC brought us the International Offshore Rule (IOR) and International Measurement System (IMS) rules which later evolved into the ORC rule and is available in four different products: ORC Club, ORC International (ORCi), ORC One Design and ORC Superyacht. The ORC Club certificates do not require verified measurements. But as the system is set to default on the least flattering rating, the more measurements that are provided, the more accurate the rating. ORC Club certificates are intended for club-level racing. ORC International (ORCi) is based on measurements taken of the owner’s boat by a US Sailing Official Yacht Measurer. These certificates are intended for use in World Continental, Regional, and National level races. ORC One Design are configured for a specific class and all data is based on One Design Class rules. No measurements are required provided that the boat is compliant with its Class measurements. And finally, there is the ORC Super Yacht which is a product reserved for those boats that are exceptionally difficult to handicap. This may include boats that have displacement ranging from 50-600 tons and have huge discrepancies involving the yacht type. Gaining in popularity, ORC is used in over 70 countries worldwide, with more than 10,000 certificates issued, making it a viable alternative that is here to stay.
assessment your regional authority can provide. The arbitrary handicap may be well off the mark and gives an unfair advantage or disadvantage. That erodes confidence in the fairness of the formula. Imagine yourself as a longtime PHRF member racing in a regional championship that you’ve put energy and effort into, only to lose to a boat that just showed up and was given an arbitrary handicap! It will not give you a warm, fuzzy feeling about the regatta and you may not return next time. Event organizers beware! You could be chopping yourselves off at the knees! US Sailing, as the owners of PHRF,
sanction individual PHRF organizations to assign handicaps within their area. There are about 60 PHRF fleets in North America and US Sailing allows for a certain amount of autonomy between fleets to allow for local variations in racing conditions and such. In the Pacific Northwest up to the early 1990s, there was only the PHRF-NW serving the entire Pacific Northwest region. This became an issue around that time.
THE B.C. SPLIT Some influential sailors in British Columbia grew dissatisfied with PHRF-NW, not entirely without reason, and split off

to form PHRF-BC. At the time, only the mainland BC clubs went with them. The clubs on Vancouver Island elected to stay with PHRF-NW. This was due in large part to the concerns about how the split could negatively affect the popular Swiftsure Race, which originates in Victoria each year. Over time the two organizations drifted apart in their approaches. Some boats had much different handicaps in one fleet than in the other, which became a big problem where the two systems collided at regattas like Round the County. Increasingly, the sailing community insisted on greater fairness, which led to normalization of handicaps. Events would identify themselves as

either PHRF-NW or PHRF-BC regattas and boats from one fleet had their handicaps adjusted to match those for similar boats in the host fleet. Needless to say, this is a time consuming and entirely thankless task for regatta organizers. It’s also very likely that various regattas have lost some racers altogether due to dissatisfaction with this issue. The responsibility for resolving this problem does not rest with the individual racer or with the event organizations either. This issue rests solely with the two PHRF organizations to resolve through a harmonization of the two systems. So what should “harmonization” look like? There is no reason not to have two PHRF fleets, one for either side of the border. Individual member applications and appeals can be better served this way. Each organization can assess their own dues model. Individual racers can choose which fleet to join, provided that the playing field is level across the region. Underlying the two organizations should be a collaborative process to address issues common to the entire region. The methodologies of arriving at a boat’s handicap should be the same in both PHRF fleets and there should be a com-
mon handicap database. Each organization continues to conduct handicapper ’s council meetings, but there should be at least one joint annual conference between the two to ensure they are serving together the interests of PHRF racers in the Pacific Northwest. I’m happy to say there appears to have been some movement in this direction, but much work remains. The moral of the story is that PHRF will always, and should always, have a place in our racing community. Even with the ebb and flow of different systems of measuring variations between boats, PHRF remains one of the simplest and most economical approaches to keeping things fair and fun for a wide spectrum of racers. Ultimately, the goal should be promoting fair and equitable racing and encouraging the overall health of the sport we love.

Planning for a haul-out is one of those tasks that rates right up there with having air ducts cleaned in our homes. We know it needs to be done from time to time for the maintenance and preservation of our assets. Because we can’t actually see the gunk forming for ourselves, we may forget that it’s even happening (and it’s always happening). Before we know it, the accumulation of untreated crud we can’t see creates even greater problems for us (and higher bills) if left untreated. That is why haulouts are important and winter is the perfect time of year to get it done. We are a lucky bunch in the Pacific Northwest as our region has many boatyards that haul out vessels. Please find in this guide a sampling of

haul-out services. It’s always a good idea to call ahead to discuss your specific needs (and don’t worry, they have heard it all!) The important thing is that you make the call and regularly address the maintenance needs of your boat. And when that’s done, you can scout out an air duct cleaning service! Good luck!

LIAROWSAGAIN
Lia Ditton is a licensed captain and former professional sailor-turnedocean rower with 150,000+ nautical miles of sailing experience. Rowing the North PaciďŹ c will be her 14th crossing of any ocean, her 4th solo and 2nd under human power.
Row, row, row, your boat, gently down the stream... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, being a badass rower ain't just a dream. In the August issue of Northwest Yachting, we introduced you to Lia Ditton, a professional adventurer set on rowing her 21-foot rowboat across the North Pacific, from Japan to San Francisco. We recently caught up with Lia to get an update on her plans, and she shared some harrowing training stories, including her row from Portland to San Francisco last Fall. She tells the tale below.
B Y A man with a moustache looks up from the side of his boat. “Destination?” he asks. “Sorry, what did you say?” I reply. “Where are you heading?” the man says, attaching a different lure to his fishing rod. “San Francisco!” I reply. The man’s wife leans out of the cabin, presumably to ask more questions. This exchange happens a few miles after leaving Portland, on my 100-mile row to the mouth of the Columbia River. Judging by their expressions, I might as well have just said Disneyland. Astoria became my new response. Most thought that was a long way, but everyone agreed it would be a good adventure. And it was. I discovered the Columbia River to be an untapped haven for small boat exploration. I stayed out of the shipping lanes when possible, and took the meandering route behind the islands. Portland to Sandy Island (opposite Kalama) was one long, hot row. Anchored off Walker Island, the awakening of the day was so breathtakingly beautiful that I took many photos as the sun rose. I left Cathlamet at fish o’clock and I could have spent days exploring the Clifton Channel, which feeds into Knappa Slough, Calendar Slough, and Prairie Channel. It was just me and fish-eating birds rowing in forgotten wilderness. From Tongue Point onwards, I faced the might of the Columbia River. Down the river, there was nowhere to duck in. Three container ships anchored off Astoria were lit like Christmas trees, so I decided to row parallel to the ships and use them as streetlamps. Even at 4 am this turned out to be a very bad idea. There was a clap of thunder and my heart rate spiked. Anchor chain began rumbling against steel - one of the freighters was on the move. Beyond the Astoria Bridge, there were no lights. The sea and sky were black with no distinction. Wisps of fog like clouds of dry ice engulfed my boat. I rowed on

through the fog banks, fighting a rising sense of panic. My dot on the Navionics boating app had me in the Columbia River, but it was so hard to correlate this information with what I could see. “It’s going to be OK,” I kept telling myself. “Even if you are heading out to sea, you have everything you need.” Daylight finally began to break, and the fog shifted to reveal the marker for Hammond Marina. The tide was about to turn. I was anxious I wouldn't reach the inlet in time. Then I was anxious I was going to overshoot. I started rowing perpendicular to the breakwater and then rowed hard to make the gap into the harbor. Everyone stopped and stared. But after six days rowing a strangelooking boat down the river, I was pretty used to stares!
OVER THE BAR It was now Labor Day weekend, and fishing boats streamed out of the harbor
towards the Columbia River Bar. “What the hell are you thinking?” a fisherman shouts as he opens throttle to pass me. “You’re a brave soul!” My speed over ground accelerates until the tide is spitting me out at 8.75 knots! Huge, silvery waves roll over the Columbia River bar. I go up and down the rollercoaster waves, as the conveyor belt draws me out. A ship heading outbound is followed by a tanker heading inbound, forcing me west over a patch of 30 feet. Twice the U.S. Coast Guard cutter comes by, radioed by boats alarmed at the mere sight of seeing a human powered vessel on the bar. I row hard to avoid the vortex around channel markers and struggle to keep my breakfast down from the stress of being interrogated. The relief of being out in open ocean is short-lived. As night falls, I find myself surrounded by fishing trawlers. Fishing trawlers are the worst kind of traffic, as they drag lines for several feet, change direction without warning, and may not

be attentive at the helm. For the first three nights, sleep is sporadic. Off the Continental Shelf and away from most of the trawlers, I discover there are new things to be afraid of. For a whole afternoon, three 10-foot blue sharks swim under and around my boat. In the evening, the sharks are still with me. In fact, for four days I have shark company. How do I feel about this? I decide the best way to cope is to talk to them! “I am sorry about the toothpaste juice,” I say before spitting over the side. “It’s Tom’s from Maine. Ingredients are organic. Maybe you’ve been to Maine?” My foot catches the handle of an oar and I jump out of my skin. I laugh at myself. Coping well, huh? Lying in my bunk, I realize I am about

to try and sleep with an actual shark under my bed. This inspires me to start writing a new children’s book titled, The Shark Under My Bed. It goes like this: Child: There’s a shark under my bed. Adult: What is the shark doing under your bed? Child: He’s eating fish. Adult: What kind of fish? Child: Tuna fish. I fall asleep. One fishing trawler then another think my boat is adrift (and up for salvage). Both encounters are terrifying as the boats charge at me without responding to the radio, and the crew are wearing ski masks to protect their faces from the wind. Another day, I watch a USCG helicopter
fly a search pattern until they're doing circles overhead, and I’m on the radio shouting over the din trying to establish if anyone has sent them or if they’re just out on patrol. They saw me on AIS and were just out on patrol. Windless, sunny days follow and I begin to find my rhythm among the glittery blue. Except when I stop rowing, something strange happens. I drift all over the place and realize I’m caught in a northerly current, worse, it’s a counter-clockwise eddy (west of Eugene) from which the escape route is unknown. I have no idea how far south or west or east I need to row to get out of it. Finally with the help from a professor from Oregon State University, I’m advised to row northwest. Northwest!? Against the prevailing wind!? Once free of the eddy, I’m under siege from squalls. The sky is peppered with grey sacks with streaks running to the horizon. In between cloudbursts, there are rainbows and great white sharks launching clean out of the water. I watch one shark materialize like a vertical missile from the deep, its prey dangling from its jaws.
HOTEL CALIFORNIA At the Oregon-California border, I am on sea anchor wedged inside my cabin listening to what sounds like my boat being gradually ripped apart. After five hours, the worst of the storm is finally over. When the wind eases, I pop out on deck to find a U.S. aircraft carrier standing by. AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER! I imagine the conversation onboard the carrier went something like this:
78 NORTHWEST YACHTING || FEBRUARY 2020
Right: The tanker Overseas Los Angeles came within 0.7 miles of Lia before diverting course. The captain was honest and explained they diverted to see Lia and her boat, because they “don’t see much out here.”
“A person has emerged on deck and it’s a woman!” In an instant, the aircraft carrier is gone! I wait for days for the wind to clock to the northwest, so I can make progress south again. The swells are monstrous and in the troughs, I have zero visibility. This could be heaven or this could be hell. I play the song “Hotel California” by the Eagles, and monitor the AIS for ships. In a small rowboat, I like to see the backs of ships when they are passing close by. So, imagine my shock when I step on deck for a routine stern-check to see the bow of a tanker a mere 0.7 miles away! My legs shook violently as I lunged for the radio. “What happened?!” I ask the captain “We were set to pass with 3 nautical miles between us!” He replied, “We just don’t see much out here, so when we saw you, we diverted to have a closer look.” I try and keep calm. “You’re bearing down on me,” I said. “But we haven’t seen you yet. Oh wait. Now we see you!” he says. Back at the oars, a week of gale force winds stretches ahead of me. I began
covering 60 miles per day in my 21-foot rowboat! With the North Pacific highpressure system pressed against the West Coast, the wind ratchets up into the high 30s and low 40s and at times, the waves are frenzied white peaks all around me. During the night, waves crash into the side of my boat and swamp the deck. I jump up and pump the hand bilge pump. I bail on and off through the hours of darkness as I don’t have the solar power to use my electric bilge pump at night. As the sea state worsens, I change my thinking and allow the cockpit to remain flooded. I want the weight. In fact, I want more weight and preferably in the stern. To reach land, I had to cross the Continental Shelf. Cross the shelf in breaking seas in 40 knots of wind, you’d have to be out of your mind! What kind of horror show is this going to be? Every day, I row east and perpendicular to the waves. A foul wave could break an oar, or worse, an arm. Sometimes, I blast music to distract myself and pretend that, “this is just a normal day!” I have plenty of food and am safe. I could remain at sea
for days. I could wait for the weather to abate. My friends on shore encourage me to head towards land. Reluctantly, I turn my boat east to cross the Continental Shelf. I row watching the depth sounder chart my path towards land, as the waves roar towards me in great cascades. The setting sun presses against the horizon. There’s so much water flying around, the atmosphere is an apocalyptic rosy haze.
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT In order to stay off Cordell Bank (150 feet compared to the 10,000 feet of the Continental Shelf), I calculate that I need to row non-stop through the night. I close my eyes and try to row blind between breaking waves. Impossible! Foolish even to try! I head back out to sea as fast as I can. Can I clear the west side of the bank? Have I left too late? I row for my life. I row with everything I can give, and then when the night is pitch black and I can row no more, I sink to my knees and pray. I skirt the bank. Miraculously the wind switches off, and I wake up shivering and
Left: To help navigate in the fog, Lia rowed alongside three container ships anchored off Astoria in the Columbia River. Even at 4 AM in the morning, this turned out to be a very bad idea when one of the ships began to up-anchor. Right: As Lia rowed east towards San Francisco, she rowed from water 10,000 feet to 300-400ft in depth. The waves began to break and tower at heights of up to 60 feet.

sore. I remember being knocked down, the boat side-slammed by a white wall of water. Exhausted, I tell my friends onshore that I just can’t make San Francisco. “I can’t do it. Let’s aim for Monterey instead.” But after four hours of sleep, I change my mind. “What is wrong with you, Lia?” I ask myself. “Why don’t you ever quit?” For the next two days, I row 25-30 mile days, rowing for twelve hours non-stop. The human body is amazing.
And finally, after 24 days, there it is: The Golden Gate Bridge’s south tower looms before me with its support arms stretching across the middle. I expect to cry. Instead I am overjoyed. I soak in the familiar sound of the horn off Point Diablo, the rumble of traffic over the bridge, and as I turn the corner into the bay, I can hardly believe what I have just endured. The interviewer is a young woman and she stands on the dock unmoving, looking
bewitched with a half smile on her face. She’s clutching a piece of paper with questions, but she doesn’t lift the paper once. Nor does she ask a single question. Fortunately, I haven’t spoken to anyone in almost a month, so I jabber away. I wonder what the young woman is thinking, but I sort of know. She’s thinking about my adventure in the context of her own life. It’s a wonderful memory for me, this look of hers, because if you can inspire even one person in a positive way, I’d say that what you do might just be worthwhile.

RACING SHEET
Duwamish Head Drama Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Jan Anderson On January 11, racers joined for the fi rst time in 2020 for the second race of the South Sound Series. Organized by Three Tree Point Yacht Club and hosted by Des Moines Marina, the race is a favorite for its unique blend of upwind and downwind legs combined with a tricky (but fun) reaching leg, all the while boats are dodging the ferries and freighters that we have somehow grown to love. Traditionally, it’s one of the more well-attended winter races, and this year had a strong showing thanks to the Seahawks playoff game scheduled for Sunday. Often referred to as The Fashion Show Race, as everyone shows up sporting their new gear from Christmas, it’s a
O
welcome back to our racing family after a long holiday season of ugly sweaters and in-laws. This year’s weather forecast was a bit of a head-scratcher with a strong northwesterly to the north of Seattle and a strong southwesterly coming ashore in Olympia. It appeared to be a good old-fashioned convergence zone. Rain was in the forecast for the day, and by morning it looked like it was going to be a wet one. Shortly before the start, however, the sky cleared and the wind settled into a picturesque day for some great winter racing. The morning shaped up as expected with a strong southerly blowing all night and easing up as the sun come over the horizon, with the wind settling
into a nice 10-15 knot southerly throughout the day. The starting sequence saw a significant westerly shift to the breeze, which made things all the more sporty as top speeds were reached by boats on a blast reach out to Three Tree Point. The wind angle combined with a comically short starting line resulted in most starts being several rows deep, but with the speeds of the boats it was not much of an issue for long. Once the fleet got enough gauge out to windward of Alki Point, the spinnakers were hoisted and things settled into a beautiful kite run as the clouds stayed away. With the signifi cant westward slant in the wind, most of the fleet could carry their spinnaker all the way to the corner of

the Duwamish Head day marker and pull off a sporty douse and a quick gybe onto the long reach to Blakely Rock. Passing lanes were few and far between along the beam reach, as some of the slower boats were overrun by the more powerful racing boats that started off a few minutes behind. Coming into the rocks at this angle makes for a bit of a nerve-racking call, as getting too close to the north side could make for an abrupt stop, but thankfully no one was left high and dry. Once around, the wind began to pipe up as the fleet worked around Eagle Point and back down the Sound towards the finish line. The outflow of logs and deadheads continued as heavy tide lines made ducking and weaving them a considerable focus for crews. At the end of the day, John McPhail on the venerable Jam, took the win in the big boat fl eet, while Tolga Cezik and the crew of Lodos took the win in the highly contested PHRF 4 fleet racing— twelve strong and with a three-second handicap spread.

disservice to not tell one more story. Midway through the race, a call came over the radio from San Juan 24 skipper Melissa Davies of Miss Mayhem, a call that no one wants to hear; a sailor was in the water. The call went out on the radio for assistance and while the crewmember was still attached to the boat, the cold water had taken its toll and was taking everything that he and the crew had to hold on. Hearing the call, Marek Omilian put the racing aside and turned his TP52 Sonic towards the distressed sailors to help. Once alongside the distressed boat, members of Marek’s crew boarded and began helping the crew to recover the sailor from the water. Thanks to their training and experience, the crew of Sonic quickly made and executed a plan. Bryan Davies, the bowman onboard Sonic, went for the ultimate bear hug as he clipped into a halyard, went over the side, and was hoisted up onto the deck with the exhausted and very cold crew member in his arms. Once everyone was back onboard, the sailor was transferred to Skip and Jan Anderson’s high-speed photo boat and taken ashore to warm up while the Sonic departed, hoisted their spinnaker, and rejoined the race. This type of quick action combined with proper preparation and training is not an accident. It is something that all sailors and racers should strive towards. As the real Pacific Northwest winter begins to take hold, it’s going to be a while before shortsleeve sailing is a reality, but there is still plenty of sailing to keep the absolute diehards busy. With the Iceberg, Frigid Digit, Goosebumps, or Snowbird races happening, there is no shortage of excuses to get together with your friends and do something silly on a Saturday this winter.

P RTS OF CALL
Fisherman Bay, Washington By Deane Hislop
Mention “Fisherman Bay” to Northwest boaters and it’s only a few moments before stories are flying about its shallow and winding entrance. The navigational challenges make many skippers reluctant to enter the narrow, though well-marked, access channel. We have visited many times and can report that the 0.6nm entrance to the bay requires caution, but not paranoia. We recommend studying a large-scale chart and tide book before entering the passage. Locate the entrance channel and potential problem areas. At a zero tide, there is only six and a half feet of water in the channel leading into the bay, making the safest passage at near high tide. Approaching the narrow entrance of Fisherman Bay, located on the west side of Lopez Island, is done best at slow bell with one eye on the sector light and the other on the chartplotter and depth sounder. The lack of vigilance catches more than a few boats each season. Once past the sector light located outside the bay’s entrance, head straight for the R4 day beacon on the spit, staying to the starboard side of the channel. A strong ebbing current can affect steering at this point. Once past R4, maintain a course in the middle of the channel taking the green marks G5 and G7 wide to port. Then, head straight to R8 mark. Head past R8 to starboard and you can safely head to the marinas. While the passage will test captains’ navigation skills, it shouldn’t prevent anyone from enjoying the beautiful and scenic bay. Fisherman Bay is one of the best protected, friendliest and most attractive hideaways in

the San Juans, with two marinas and anchorage amongst private moorings. Although a bit crowded with resident boats, it is possible to set the hook in the mud bottom
of the bay. On the west side of the bay, skippers must be aware of a long strip used for Kenmore Air floatplane arrivals and departures. Stay clear to avoid disrupting flights.
Island Life The original island inhabitants, the Lummi Indians, used the bay as a summer fishing encampment. Today, with 29.5 square miles and about 2,500 residents, Lopez maintains a pastoral flavor from its agricultural beginnings in the 1860s. Except for a few general stores and bed & breakfasts outside of Fisherman Bay and Lopez Village, there is little commercial development on the island. About 1,800 years ago, Coast Salish people in the islands discovered a way to trap salmon. They called it "sqw’e-lux" in Lkungenung, the language spoken in the islands. Today it’s referred to as “reef-netting.” The reef-net is a floating fish trap that is positioned strategically along the path of migrating salmon. The net, made of twisted ash-root, cedar bark and nettle-fiber twine, was slung between two flat-end canoes anchored in place by tethering them to submerged rocks. A tower allowed the fishermen to see the fish entering the trap. The trapped salmon were then removed by using large dip nets. In the shallows amidst waving eelgrass, hungry salmon find aggregations of herring, Pacific sand lance, squid, and shrimp. When the changing tide pulled salmon out of the bay and beneath the reefnet, the trick was to lure them up into the net for what salmon believed to be another meal: eelgrass woven into the net, creating the appearance of a small shallow inlet. During the summer, it’s common to see reef-netters with their tall look-out stations anchored outside the bay and just inside the entrance to the bay, there are remnants of reef-net canoes high and dry on the sand spit.
Explore the Island Scenic and quiet roads crisscross the island leading to farms, wineries, galleries, dramatic vistas, eight county parks and one state park. These safe, relatively flat roads make Lopez the most popular of the San Juans for cyclists. Didn’t bring a bike? Check out Lopez Bicycle Works, the oldest bike shop in the San Juans. They are located between the two marinas and offer good quality rentals as well as repair services.

For us, a visit to Fisherman Bay isn’t complete without making the .8-mile leisurely walk to Lopez Village, the island’s only town and center of island life. Here visitors can check out restaurants, art galleries, unique shops and a supermarket. As we make our way along the two-lane country road to the village, we notice how friendly the residents of the island are. The occupants of every passing car give a greeting wave. This is one of the reasons Lopez has become known as “The Friendly Island.”
Waterwheel Park
^
About halfway to the village, we stop at the Island’s garbage dump to check out the Take It or Leave It shed, locally known as “The Mall.” It’s kind of a cool place where Islanders can participate in the free exchange of goods. Wandering through the aisles, there was an amazing display of electronics, books, tools, building supplies, toys, clothing, and the list goes on and on. Who would have ever thought a garbage dump would be an island attraction?

A little further up the road, on the way to the village, is a lovely restored mansion that now houses the public library. The village is where visiting boaters can find life's essentials, such as the post office, pharmacy, bank, history museum, and two churches dating back to the Victorian-era and a medical clinic. Village Park is in the center of the hamlet, where the Chamber of Commerce provides a public picnic area with restrooms. The village also boasts several co-op art galleries, restaurants, shops, a bookstore, and an espresso stand. You can shop for a variety of local products such as jam, vinegars, sauces, ice cream, candy, and wines; as well as many handmade arts and crafts. Every visit, we enjoy cinnamon rolls and/or an artisan loaf of bread from Holly B’s Bakery. It’s said they are “served with love and butter.”

ASK THE EXPERTS
Bottoms Up! FE ATURING BE N BOT TOM S OF BOT TOMS BOAT DIVING The old adage “out of sight, out of mind” never rang truer than when thinking about the bottoms of our boats. But the fact is, bottom neglect can have serious consequences and it’s important to take a peak down there from time to time. To get to the bottom of this, we went to the expert in this field: Ben Bottoms of Bottoms Boat Diving. NWY: Why is it so important to have our boat hulls cleaned? Boat hull cleanings keep our boats performing at their highest capacity. Keeping our boats clean below the waterline helps prevent drag that totally slows the boat down. And when performance goes down, fuel consumption goes up. Hull cleanings also help prolong the bottom paint. NWY: How many times a year should boaters consider bottom cleanings? Boat cleaning schedules vary. Generally, boat hulls should be cleaned every 3 months but factors such as the current paint condition, where it's moored, and the frequency of boat use determines the maintenance schedule. If the paint is over 2 years old and losing some of the anti-fouling properties, for example, the hull will
T

He's also a keen sailboat racer, though he loves power too. A member of the Antique and Classic Boat Society, Bottoms owns a 1957 Glasspar Avalon that he restored in 2018.
86 NORTHWEST YACHTING || FEBRUARY 2020
need to be cleaned more often to maintain performance until the next paint job. Boats in saltwater require more frequent cleaning because growth rates are higher and include barnacles. Sailboat racers will want to clean more often than liveaboards, who may only occasionally leave the dock. Trawlers typically cover long distances at lower speeds, and while trawlers are fuel efficient vessels, regular cleaning costs will easily be offset in fuel savings over long trips. NWY: What is the difference between hard and soft growth? In the PNW, we generally see hard growth such as barnacles and mussels. These organisms frequently attach to metals, such as the prop and shaft and will significantly impact boat performance. Soft growth is the layers of marine slime and algae that cling to the boat hull and slow the boat down. Anti-fouling paint is designed to slow down hard and soft growth, but going long periods of time without cleaning can negate the paint’s effectiveness. NWY: Is there a particularly strong impact from bottom cleaning for sailboat racers? Sailboat racers are looking for every competitive advantage they can get. A skipper can have the best
crew and new sails, but a dirty bottom will most definitely slow the boat down. Keeping the hull clean and slick is a major factor in race performance. NWY: Why do the anodes (zincs) need to be replaced? And how often do you recommend that this procedure happen? Anodes are sacrificial metals and protect the underwater metals from galvanic corrosion. They are more active in giving up their electrons and will corrode before your prop, shaft, thru hulls, struts, strainers, and sail drives do. For example, two metals (such as a stainless shaft and bronze prop) in electrical contact will create a charge (like a battery) and deteriorate your boat’s valuable underwater metals. We replace these sacrificial anodes so the valuable metals are not subject to corrosion. Anodes are versatile in both salt and fresh water and there are three types: aluminum, zinc and magnesium. Boaters who spend their summer in saltwater and winter in freshwater, should consider using aluminum anodes. Zinc is still used in both environments, but is most ideal in saltwater. Magnesium should only be used in fresh water. There are many factors involved when
Bottoms Boat Diving determining anode replacements, but generally, boats moored in saltwater should have their anodes inspected and replaced every 6 months. NWY: What products are used for the bottom cleaning procedure? Is it all soft/hard cloths or are there ever chemicals involved? If so, what is the impact to the environment? At Bottoms Boat Diving, white 3M pads are used to clean the hull as they are the least abrasive. If a hull has been neglected for a long period of time or the antifouling boat paint is failing, we use more abrasive red 3M pads. For hard growth, we use a scraper. A good dose of elbow grease is the only chemical used in our underwater cleaning process! NWY: Are there insurance advantages for boaters who have their boat hull cleaned on a regular basis? Regular underwater maintenance can help prevent some insurance claims such as galvanic

His underwater expertise is available Monday thru Friday 7am-7pm, and on weekends for emergency call outs, including line removal or inspections.

corrosion on the prop. Chris Gibbon, insurance broker with Fournier Insurance, noted in last month’s Ask the Experts column that insurance providers are getting much stricter and requiring boaters to provide current boat surveys. Some insurance providers will allow in water surveys and video inspections, which is a service we provide for our clients in lieu of a full haulout. NWY: What are the consequences of not having your boat cleaned? So much time, money and effort goes into maintaining and
enjoying boating. But something as simple as a prop loaded with barnacles can prevent boaters from even leaving the dock! Regular cleanings are an important part of an overall maintenance schedule to improve your pace to your next boating adventure and prevent frustration. NWY: What are some of the most startling thing you have seen down there? We regularly encounter harbor seals who like to check in on us while we’re cleaning boat hulls. They love our bubbles and fins and have even try to nibble on our fins
from time to time. In addition to finding heavily corroded props, I once inspected a boat for potential grounding and found both props folded over like wilted flowers and one strut totally detached from the hull. NWY: Any other thoughts to share? While regular maintenance is key, there are also times when a new prop is absolutely necessary or a tangled line needs to be removed. Bottoms Boat Diving offers a wide variety of underwater services and high-quality video inspections.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein
Continued from Page 57
After three years of writing Kevin’s Catch for Northwest Yachting, this will be my last column. It’s been a really good experience, and I hope I’ve inspired readers to make fishing a part of your adventures on the water. I’m still going to be at Inside Passage Yachts, matching great folks up to great boats, but my schedule and commitments have limited my time. Northwest Yachting is the preeminent publication of all things boating on the West Coast, so I know you are in good hands moving forward. Until I see you out on the water, let’s all have fun, catch something yummy from the ocean, and let’s go fishing!
Parcticipating in all three of the 2020 Northwest Salmon Derby Series events makes you eligible to win a $75,000 Kingfisher, so get on out there!
Kevin’s Pick: SILVER HORDE LURES When gearing up for Blackmouth season, Silver Horde lures of all types are usually at the top of the experienced anglers tackle box. Whether it’s the Kingfisher or Coho Killer spoons, Ace Hi Flies or Yamashita Squid, Silver Horde has an offering that will productively put fish in the box. Winter chinook are attracted to the glow of these lures and the UV colorings during low light conditions when trolling deep where fish are found. Check out the full lineup anywhere salmon tackle is sold in the Pacific Northwest. You can also visit www.silverhorde.com for more details.
Silver Horde’s very visible spoons are a good buy for fishing productivity.

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. We’re looking for the best combination of image and words, so grab your favorite four-legged (or winged) crewmember, cast off the docking lines, and get creative with your camera and notepad. We also need large, high quality images for our print publication, so please keep image resolution above 300 DPI.

The Boating BC Association, the voice of recreational boating in British Columbia, is now accepting applications for the 2020 grant and scholarship program, which supports not-for-profi t organizations off ering capital infrastructure projects. BC Boating first launched the program in 2016 to enhance
boating as a recreational activity in local communities throughout the province. Grants and sponsorships of up to $2,500 are distributed to organizations that improve access to recreational boating across B.C. More than $20,000 in grants and sponsorships were awarded to recipients in 2019, including
funds to support activities by the Living Oceans Society and Pacific Salmon Foundation, as well as sponsorship of the BC Boat Show in Sidney. This is in addition to support for boatingrelated initiatives involving the Surrey Sailing Club, Pender Island Junior Sailing Association, Oliver Parks and Recreation,
Canadian Recreational Yachting Association, and BC Marine Parks Forever Society. “It is our pleasure to help support the industry and increase participation in the boating lifestyle,” said Lisa Geddes, Boating BC’s outgoing executive director. “There are a number of worthwhile ventures deserving of support that promote water safety, educate or create greater awareness of boating at the grassroots level – and we want to play a part in helping organizations do so.” Comprised of more than 320 member companies, Boating BC also owns the Vancouver International Boat Show. The association works closely with all levels of government, cultivating marine career opportunities and promoting safe, responsible boating.

Puget Sound Geographic Program Receives $33M By Evin Moore
In early January, Congress passed a funding bill that includes $33 million for the Puget Sound Geographic Program to provide the funds for the Puget Sound Action Agenda, a long-term plan for Puget Sound recovery developed by the Puget Sound Partnership. “We know what we need to do to recover Puget Sound, our salmon, and our endangered orcas,” Laura Blackmore, executive director of the Puget Sound Partnership, said in a press release. “This very welcome funding increase will help accelerate action on the ground to protect and restore this very special place.”
The Puget Sound Partnership is a state agency formed to address the recovery and protection of the Puget Sound. The Partnership is a coalition of state agencies, tribal governments, businesses, and scientists working toward the common goal of Puget Sound restoration. “We are excited to learn of the increase in federal funding for Puget Sound restoration,” said Bill Dewey, director of public affairs for Taylor Shellfish Farms and one of the business representatives on the Puget Sound Partnership’s Ecosystem Coordination Board. “The support from Congress has been instrumental in achieving water
quality upgrades in shellfish growing areas all around the Sound.” The 2020 budget includes $5 million of additional funding compared to last year’s budget for a total of $33 million that will pay for projects focused on the three Strategic Initiatives for Puget Sound preservation, which are stormwater management, habitat restoration, and shellfish management. Additional projects will improve water quality, enhance fish passage, increase salmon habitat, and protect shorelines. “ M a n y o f Wa s h i n g t o n ’ s communities were built on our trademark salmon runs.
Unfortunately, we’re seeing salmon runs decline, which is hurting our culture, our economy, and our iconic orcas,” said Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz, the director of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. “I’m heartened to see increased federal investments in Puget Sound, and thankful that our state has such strong congressional leadership fighting on its behalf.” Besides the funding for the Puget Sound Geographic Program, Congress has approved $35.5 million in 2020 for the Pacific Salmon Treaty, an increase of $15.5 million from the previous year. The Pacific Salmon Treaty is an agreement between the U.S. and Canada for the purposes of safeguarding the long-term conservation of Pacific salmon. In addition, $1.47 million was designated for the design phase of the restoration of the Lower Duckabush River and estuary, a project that will result in restored estuarine habitat for summer chum and Chinook salmon.

1947 MONK FULLY RESTORED CLASSIC BRIDGE-DECK CRUISER Own a Northwest classic! In 1947, a prominent Seattleite commissioned Ed Monk, Sr. to design a 43’ bridge-deck cruiser to accommodate his love of fishing and desire to cruise Alaska. The result is the incomparable Josephine, built by Blanchard Boat Yard with 1” Western Red planking, wedge seamed above the waterline, held to a fir backbone and oak frames by bronze fasteners. Josephine sports an airy interior, amazing visibility, and unusually large cockpit and aft deck. Her interior design allows for comfortable living for two while easily accommodating 10+ for dinner. After 17,000+ hours of professional restoration Josephine is as ‘done’ as a wood yacht can be. Proud winner of the PNW Classic Yacht Association Restoration Award and People’s Choice Awards, Josephine embodies the perfect balance of “restoration” and “new,” combined in a yacht that is both elegant and modern. To say her restoration and her current owner of 30 years is “meticulous” would be an understatement. See her to truly appreciate her. 2019 survey, covered moorage available. $169,000.
