FROM THE HELM New Year's Resolutions Happy New Year! As Publisher of Northwest Yachting magazine, I want to take a moment to thank our advertisers, readers and staff who make up the Michelle ZeasmanNorthwest Yachting Gibbon community. Without you, there is no us. My New Year’s Resolution for 2020 is to see to it that our entire community takes pride in Northwest Yachting and that we together create a publication that is relevant and impactful. With the closure of Sea and Boating World magazines this past winter, we are now the largest independent

boating magazine on the West coast of North America. With this status comes an obligation and a renewed commitment to be the best that we can be – and this involves YOU! This commitment also involves some strategic tacks. I’m happy to share that Schelleen Rathkopf will be taking over the helm as Managing Editor of the magazine. Born and raised in Seattle, Schelleen’s experience in the Puget Sound waterways is far reaching and includes power and sail and both cruising and racing. As Event Producer of Whidbey Island Race Week (now Point Roberts Race Week), combined with her media background in radio, TV and print advertising and sales promotion, she will be instrumental in

our growth and will be reaching out to our community for story ideas and input in the days ahead. All of us at Northwest Yachting magazine appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at the Seattle Boat Show, the Vancouver Boat Show or out and about having fun in the waterways that encompass our great region!

Local Efforts May Turn Lakebay Marina into Park By Evin Moore

The Recreational Boating Association of Washington (RBAW) has entered into a purchase-and-sale agreement to acquire Lakebay Marina, a historic marina located on the Key Peninsula in Pierce County. The sale is scheduled to be ﬁnalized in September 2020, after which the RBAW plans to donate the marina to Washington State Parks and Recreation as a public marine park. After a series of problems in recent years related to regulations, the future of the marina was uncertain. The RBAW was concerned that the property would be sold to private developers and lost for public use forever. They began negotiations for purchasing the property earlier this year and begun fundraising the $1.25 million needed to buy the marina. So far

$275,000 has been raised, with $250,000 coming from the Pierce County 2020-21 Biennial Budget, largely due to the support of Councilmember Derrick Young. The RBAW plans to raise the rest with donations from the boating community and recreational organizations. “Lakebay Marina is an important part of the Key Peninsula’s community history and economic future,” said Young in a press release. “I have no doubt the purchase of the Lakebay Marina will facilitate public access to boating and recreation activities throughout the South Sound.” Lakebay Marina has a history that stretches back 135 years. The original pier was constructed by Carl Lorenz, who built the first sawmill in the area and owned a Northwest Yachting wrote about Lakebay Marina in 2016, as seen in the photos on this page. We're happy that the peaceful, beautiful spot will be preserved as a marine park after RBAW's purchase later this year.

small fleet of cargo ships. The building on the pier was built in 1928 and served as an egg and poultry co-op. After the co-op closed in the 1950s, the structure became a marina. In 2019, Lakebay Marina was added to the Pierce County Register of Historic Places. Since its founding, one of the main missions of the RBAW is to preserve public spaces for boaters; in the 1950s the association purchased large amounts of land on Sucia Island in the San Juans before a developer filled the island with vacation homes. Today, Sucia is a highlight of the state marine park system, with thousands of feet of public moorage. “In addition to being an important part of Pierce County’s history, generations of Pierce County residents and boaters from OUR DOCKS across the region have enjoyed Lakebay Marina,” said Bob Wise, RBAW President. “We have an opportunity to preserve a facility for generations to come and to create a public asset that will be a major recreational, boating, and tourism draw for the entire South Sound. Keeping a marina like this in the public domain forever would be a great honor.” If interested in learning more or donating to the purchase of Lakebay Marina, reach out to Bob Wise at lakebay@rbaw.org.

As they prepare for the next leg to the Eastern Australian coast, the Seattle crew stands in eighth place out of eleven yachts participating in the 40,000-nautical-mile test of endurance. In this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, which began in London in August, the team is sailing under the theme, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oceans are our Future,â&#x20AC;? via a partnership between Cape Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Two Oceans Aquarium and the Seattle Sports Commission. As Visit Seattle make stops in the 16 global ports along the journey, the partners are focusing on youthoriented activities to help protect the ocean environment. For instance, after arriving at Punta del Este, Uruguay, in September, Visit Seattle participated in a beach clean-up with Yacht Club Punta del Esteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to look after what we have,â&#x20AC;? said Seattle crew member, Melanie Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every little piece that you pick up is one less piece in the ocean.â&#x20AC;? Visit Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other official Clipper Race partners include Holland America Line, Hyatt Regency Seattle, Port of Seattle, Seattle Aquarium, Visit Seattle, and Waste Management. All told, nearly 700 nonprofessional crew members from 43 nations are participating in the 2019-2020 race. Visit Seattle is comprised of crew from 12 nations, including the United States, New Zealand and Egypt, with ages ranging from 19 to 70 years. Following a March 2020 stopover in Qingdao, China, the teams will spend more than a month crossing the PaciďŹ c to Seattle and are expected to reach the ďŹ nish line back in London by August 2020.

season. Consider talking to a professional for boat maintenance tips, especially if it is your ﬁrst time to winterize a boat. In truly cold areas, ﬁnding appropriate storage for a boat is essential during the colder months. You might need to check your boat frequently throughout the winter to prevent leaks caused by ice exposure and snow buildup. Here are some basic boat care tips during the colder winter months.

preventable issues can be limited or avoided. One way to improve the appearance and performance of a boat is by taking it through a meticulous winterizing process. The oﬀ-season care requires more than draining the engine’s ﬂuid, pulling the boat out of the water, and adding antifreeze. Experts urge boat owners to always refer to the manufacturer’s manual before starting to prep their marine vessel for the winter

Cleaning It might be necessary to clean both the outside and inside of a boat before storing it. It's a good idea to pressure wash the exterior of the boat to remove any dirt or residue. However, make sure to use manufacturer-speciﬁed cleaning processes for vessels with vinyl windows and soft surfaces. Inspecting and steam cleaning everything from upholstery, cabinets, interior drawers, shafts, and

propellers before storage is crucial. However, make sure things such as fire extinguishers, flares, and electronics are removed from a marine vessel before cleaning begins. Cabinets and drawers should be emptied and wiped before they are cleaned. Remove cushions and turn them on their edge to allow for the free flow of air. Otherwise, store them in a climate-controlled place so that they don’t become saturated with moisture or water. You may need to limit your boat exposure to moisture while it is in storage. Desiccating products and dehumidifiers can aid in that.

Oiling Oiling a marine vessel during the oﬀ-season is crucial. After all, the engine is the one that propels the ship in the water. Engine inspection should start with the basics, including checking the oil

levels. Boat oil should be checked every 50-100 running hours, and remember to run the engine when changing the oil so that the oil can drain. Then check for any leaks and keep monitoring oil levels so that lubrication doesn’t run low.

when prepping their vessels for the winter season. Using a checklist while preparing a marine vessel for the winter can help you cover all the bases. A checklist will ensure that you touch on everything during the winterizing process.

Sail Northwest - New & Brokerage - Power & Sail

Covering Covering a boat during winter is a practice that shouldn’t be overlooked. It may seem unimportant to cover a boat with an expensive, premium material in the off-season, but these covers are an integral part of caring for a marine vessel. The first step is finding a reliable boat cover vendor. You can use simple tarps as a cover, but that may call for the need for a barrier between the boat and the tarp. However, take caution with some tarps, especially those that are made from abrasive materials, as they can shift and damage your boat when they are exposed to wind. Other materials common for making boat covers include polyester, acrylic, vinyl, and cotton. Boat covers can either be pre-made or custom-made to the specifications of your boat. However, for longevity and protection, a boat cover made from a polyester fiber can be the best choice. Polyester covers are more resistant to mildew and water than any other material used for covering a marine vessel.

Maintenance Inspecting the propeller is often easier when the boat is at dry dock storage. With the marine vessel out of the water, it is easier to check for any necessary maintenance. Areas that need to be checked include leaky seals, corroded zinc anodes, and faulty bearings. Though all these repairs are possible while the

Nautical News The Latest on the Northwest's Boating Scene The NTSB's rendering of El Faro as it is today, a permanent resident of the briny deep.

Nautical Nook

Into the Raging Sea by Rachel Slade By Greg Van Belle

forgiven for writing it off as a fluke, a poorly predicted megastorm, and a few bad decisions by the captain and crew. This, after all, was what the U.S. Coast Guard report essentially said. It seems obvious, and the National Transportation Safety Board’s report seems to back this up, that the El Faro went down because the captain relied on old weather data and sailed straight into Hurricane Joaquin, dooming it and its 33 crewmen to the bottom of the sea. (Read the NTSB’s report here: https:// bit.ly/2rWzpMn) Slade takes us well behind

When a book about the sinking of a cargo ship begins by telling us that part of the reason officials knew it had sunk was that seismologists heard it hit the ocean floor, I’m in. This is precisely what happened when the El Faro, a 790foot cargo ship operated by TOTE Maritime, went down just north of the Bahamas in 2015. Rachel Slade’s Into the Raging Sea is the most remarkable marine disaster book I’ve read since Sebastian Junger blessed us with The Perfect Storm. Anyone who followed the sinking of the El Faro in October of 2015 can be

the scenes of this accident, however, and shows us just how complicated these things are once we get beyond the obvious. Along the way she teaches us how primitive so much of maritime shipping still is, despite massive advances in technology. Sometimes, as the author points out, it is a sequence of small, seemingly inconsequential decisions that cause catastrophe, not one big decision.

The conclusions she reaches are too rich to spoil here, but trust me that this is a book that will not disappoint you as it weaves its tale of compounding catastrophe. Unlike other books, including The Perfect Storm, wherein authors have had to carefully reconstruct events based on a sort of “best guess” strategy, Slade had access to the 26 hours of conversations on the bridge of the El Faro leading up to her sinking. It is a remarkable treasure for an investigative writer to have this information, the transcript of which is over 500 pages long. Slade does a masterful job of weaving this transcript into a larger tale about the sinking, the crew, the company, and everyone even tangentially involved. The reader feels the calm in the early hours of the trip, as the ship leaves Jacksonville, Florida, under the command of a local pilot. The decisions the crew make seem reasonable and measured. Even though we know the sailing is doomed, there is little to indicate that anyone onboard had the same sense. Yes, the actions of the appare ntly o ve rm atche d and ill-informed captain led to the ultimate sinking of the El Faro, but why he made such poor decisions—including steaming straight into the middle of a hurricane—only comes clear through Slade’s investigative work. Was the ship old and out of date? Yes. Were poor routing decisions made? Yes. But the rest of what contributed to the sinking is a cautionary tale for the competitive, budget-

constrained business of moving cargo on our waterways. I often sit on the beach near our Whidbey Island property and watch as container ships come and go through Admiralty Inlet. These massive ships stacked tall with containers full of consumer goods destined for Seattle and Tacoma are marvels of engineering. It is impossible to imagine them being anything but slowly moving islands on the ocean, unperturbed by waves and weather. But, it turns out, they are just as vulnerable to the sea as we are, and all it takes is a few mistakes by the human crew to put them directly in harm’s way. The end of the story is that the El Faro went down in 15,000 feet of water. As Slade says, “The American government’s network of hydrophones in the Atlantic Ocean picked up an enormous thud just beyond Crooked Island in the Bahamas.” It is the sign of a good book that knowing the ending doesn’t ruin the experience. This is such a good book that I cannot recommend it strongly enough.

I recently had a chat with my co-workers at the Hot Stove Society and lamented the poor selection of hot drinks for cold weather entertaining. Many are too sweet, or too intense, and just not good. Tyler, our bartender came up with the idea of using Ancho Reyes, a delicious liqueur made in Puebla, Mexico, that uses poblano chilies grown in the rich soil of that region. Those chilies are then dried and become “ancho” chilies, which have a smoky and spicy quality. The raisin-like chilies are then hand cut and macerated in a cane spirit for six months before being bottled. This liqueur has a spicy warming quality and a sweetness that is nice with rum for a toddy. You could go so many directions with this toddy, and I give you a base recipe which you can adjust and add to, depending upon your desired level of sweetness. Orange bitters are a nice addition, but are optional. Play around with the mixture, a nice bourbon can be substituted instead of rum.

Flagship West Marine Opens in Ballard By Norris Comer

Marine supply retail giant West Marine opened a flagship store in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle after a Grand Opening celebration on December 7 and 8. The move also includes the closing of the previous West Marine store in the Shilshole Bay area.

“With this store, we’ve come home and are here to stay,” store manager Lynn Gambrell told Northwest Yachting. “No more moving around.” The new location is 24,000 square feet, nearly twice the size of the previous store. In addition to the expanded retail space, the new store in-

cludes an in-house, full-service rigging station and is a hub for West Marine Pro, the marine industry-focused wholesale arm of the company. Across from the rigging station on the second ﬂoor, visitors will notice a colorful wall display of spools of line. Gambrell explained

that the wall is an homage to West Marine founder Randolph Repass who, as the legend goes, started West Marine by selling nylon rope out of his garage in 1968. The current CEO of West Marine is Ken Seipel who took the helm on December 5, 2018. For boaters, and those shopping for boaters, the new West Marine is certainly worth a visit. It’s located across the street from the Seattle Maritime Academy at 1400 NW 45th Street. It’s open from 0800 hours to 1900 hours every day except Sunday, when it closes at 1800 hours.

Australia’s Maritimo Opens Northwest Office Evin Moore

Maritimo, the Australianbased luxury yacht builder, is expanding their presence in the Northwest with a new company-owned office in Seattle. Maritimo’s CEO Garth Corbitt stated in a press release that the move was an exciting step forward in their international brand expansion strategy and is a positive move for existing Maritimo owners in the Pacific Northwest. Maritimo Americas' President Dave Northrop said Maritimo already had a strong position in the Northwest with Compass P o i n t Ya c h t s r e p r e s e n t i n g the company in the area for many years. "Bill and Michelle King of Compass Point Yachts have worked very hard in this area and have a lot of happy Maritimo owner clients, and our new Seattle office and new appointments will just take our presence to the next level,” said Northrop. The Kings now head up the Maritimo company office in Newport Beach, California, although they will still be active in the Northwest market. Two experienced local brokers are joining Maritimo at the new office; Jason Smith and Paul Groesbeck, both formerly of Alexander Marine USA. Smith is a Washington native who started his yacht sales career in San Francisco where he quickly

became a top salesman before joining Alexander Marine USA in Seattle. He is a lifelong boater who can often be found with his wife Marissa, son Tyler and their Golden Retriever, Tinsley, aboard their classic wooden Stephens yacht, Coquette. Groesbeck has spent all 16 years of his maritime career with the Alexander Marina USA team. Also an avid boater, Groesbeck, his wife Debbie, and their two girls Brooke and Katie are on the water whenever they get the chance. Both are members of the Certified Professional Yacht Brokers. "We are thrilled to have Jason and Paul join us and I strongly believe our sales of luxury flybridge motoryachts and sports yachts in this region will be significantly boosted as a result,” said Corbitt. Groesbeck and Smith will debut at the Boats Afloat Seattle Boat Show from January 24 to February 1 alongside their California colleague Bill King and three Maritimo fl ybridge motoryachts. "Our range of flybridge motoryachts is particularly popular in this area because of the enhanced visibility and the climate-controlled environment," said Northrop. "We are very excited about the upcoming show and cannot wait to roll out our new, enhanced team publicly."

EPA approves $367 million to fund WA, OR, water projects

CRUISE IN LUXURY AND STYLE

By Randy Woods

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved funding in 2020 for several drinking water projects and improvements to wastewater infrastructure across Washington and Oregon, which total more than $367 million. The funding will pay for Washington’s $22 million plan for drinking water projects and $120 million plan to improve wastewater infrastructure in the state. In Oregon, the EPA said it will support the state’s $35 million plan for key drinking water projects and $190 million plan to improve wastewater and irrigated agriculture infrastructure, restore streams, and address pollution. The EPA’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program “is essential to providing all Americans the clean and safe water they deserve,” said

EPA Region 10 Administrator Chris Hladick. Some of the drinking water projects targeted for funding in Washington’s 2020 DWSRF plan include more than $3 million for a new 4.5 million-gallon reservoir to serve the Spokane community of Airway Heights, and another $3 million to replace more than 700 lead gooseneck ﬁxtures in the city of Auburn. The state’s list of wastewater projects to be funded include more than $37 million to King County’s new 70 milliongallon-per-day-capacity “wet weather station” for treating combined sewer overﬂows; $6.5 million to Snohomish County for construction of wastewater treatment plants; and nearly $4 million to the city of Grandview to replace 2.5 miles of an existing sewer main.

Rawson Molds: The Search Continues

Lesley Bishop

lbishop@tridentfunding.com

In our November issue, we published a letter from Travis S. who was inquiring about the whereabouts of the Rawson motoryacht molds. The hunt for the current location of these iconic molds continues, and here Tim Davis weighs in with some intel from Ed Monk Jr. Northwest Yachting, I don’t know the present location of these Ron Rawson molds for sure, but Edwin Monk Jr. was kind enough to answer an email I sent him in 2014 regarding the Rawson 38, designed by his father, Edwin Monk. Rawson sold the molds to Sunnfjord in Tacoma when he went out of business, but as we now know, Sunnfjord is no longer doing business either. Mr Monk writes: “The Rawson 38, and the subsequent models built by Sunnfjord from the molds were indeed solidly built, workmanlike, and good performing craft. I have given all my father’s plans to the Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society, and they would be the ones that may be able to help you. The records say the original 38 plan number was 2873, but there were numerous variations on it scattered through the files with higher plan numbers that may fit more closely fit your boat. I suspect you may have to do a bit of research there...” My guess is the molds may still be at the former Sunnfjord yard on the Tacoma waterfront. As Mr. Monk said, "You may have to do a bit of research” to contact the former Sunnfjord owners. The photograph is of a Sunnfjord / Rawson 38’ power troller in Alaska. Good luck!

I received our copies of Northwest Yachting [December 2019] yesterday and I wanted to write and thank you and Evin for the job [Business Notes article] you did about us. That was very meaningful and will be extremely helpful to us. —Patrick Dunlop, Paciﬁc Northwest Yachts

NWY: Thanks for the kudos, Patrick. Being a megaphone for marine businesses of the Paciﬁc Northwest are a big part of what we do. Best of luck with the new name, Paciﬁc Northwest Yachts (formerly Selene Yachts Northwest), and new yacht line (Fairline Yachts).

Friendship and Flattery Hello Northwest Yachting!

Your Pacific Northwest Source for White Glove Service in Marine and Recreational Finance

We love the magazine and credit you with inﬂicting my wife and I with a mad desire to live in the Paciﬁc Northwest after we were given a stack of back issues of Northwest Yachting some years ago by a friend in Texas. That turned into a bareboat trip with Anacortes Yacht Charters, and then a move in 2016 to Bainbridge Island. A sincere thank you! We love the Northwest and the yachting scene. —Kevin Campbell

NWY: Stories like yours warm our hearts, Kevin. Thank you for the letter. Keep living the life and boat on! 42 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JANUARY 2020

Maritimo M51 in the flybridge is the only one aboard and features racecar styling with a commanding view. The open bridge aft is covered with a deployable hardtop and has high railings, a great spot to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sun go down. With the helm above, the salon space below is entirely devoted to entertaining with very generous seating around a table near the companionway that leads down to the accommodations. Below are the three staterooms, including two large island-style master berths, and two enclosed heads. The galley is aft near where the large bifold doors completely open to the covered cockpit where another table with seating

is located. Maritimos tend to have very spacious walk around decks, and the M51 is no exception. Dual stairs lead to the swimstep off the stern. Engine access is also back there through the transom, and the standard twin Volvo D11s inboard diesel engines provide a total of 670 horsepower. According to California-based dealer Compass Point Yachts, the M51 can deliver a maximum speed of about 30 knots. The bottom line is that the M51 is a luxury performance cruiser that should be well equipped for that summer trip to Alaska and back. If interested in more information and pricing, you can reach out to Maritimo’s Seattle office at (206) 513-2100.

Specs & Info

Australian boatbuilder Maritimo has expanded their presence in the Pacific Northwest with a new company office in Seattle, so why not look at what they’ve got? The popular M51 is one of their mid-sized flybridge models that should take well to our waterways. What we have in the M51 is a sporty cruiser with many of the traditionally Maritimo features, such as the prominent full enclosed flybridge with internal staircase. An option is offered for the seating up there to convert into a large berth on command, perhaps one of the best cruising in comfort arrangements out there for two people on wheel watch. The helm

Aspen C108

Interestingly, not only are the two hulls asymmetrical, but so are the attached outboards. The standard calls for 270 horsepower total, with an option to upgrade to 315 total horsepower. The patented hull forms are imcredibly efficient and need less raw engine power to do more in terms of performance. The swim step and ladder are quite generous, thanks to the space in between the two outboards. Aspen Power Catamarans and their mastermind, owner Larry Graf, keep tweaking the recipe with success. Perhaps some of the features on the C108 were ideas from Graf’s recent Arctic Adventure down the Mackenzie River to the Arctic Ocean?

If interested, they are taking their first orders now with the expected delivery in the spring. Want to know more? Contact Aspen Power Catamarans at (360) 668-4347.

Specs & Info

Scheduled to debut at the Seattle Boat Show is the Aspen C108, a new power catamaran from the Washington-based company known for its unique asymmetrical power proa hulls. Aimed to bridge the gap between the smaller outboard Aspens and the larger inboard models, the trailerable C108 packs twin outboards and designated berths for four, a cruising-focused interior layout, and enclosed head. Clearly, the C108 seeks to do it all. An evolution of the C107, the C108 has extended the salon by 2 feet and the beam by 8 inches, giving the owner more space while also keeping the boat trailerable. The layout of the salon should be familiar to those who know Aspens, as it has the familystyle seating around a table to starboard, the galley to port, and the helm forward. Below are the accommodations; two quarter berths, a large master stateroom forward, and an enclosed head with shower. The partly covered cockpit has some seating but is mostly open, perhaps to cater to anglers who need work space.

Dehler One Design keel is a T-keel bulb and is paired with twin rudders. Also notable is the tiller steering, no wheels here. The racing-focused wineglass aerial proﬁle and composite bowsprit with bobstay and padeye should be familiar to racers. The rig is carbon ﬁber with one set of spreaders and an aluminum boom. The cockpit is wide and open for racing with a properly Spartan racer’s interior. There is what you need and nothing more: modest galley, two racing berths near a foldable table, toilet, and stowage.

The One Design is equipped with a 9.9hp inboard paired with the aforementioned Stealth Driver from Bieker Boats. With the press of a button in the cockpit, the three-blade propeller can be deployed or drawn into the hull. For those obsessed with reducing prop drag, this may be the answer to your prayers. The Dehler One Design hit the market the in the spring of 2019, and maybe, we’ll start seeing them in our waters soon. If interested, you can contact local Dehler dealer Seattle Yachts for more information and pricing.

Specs & Info

Germany-based Dehler is mostly known for its luxury, Euro-styled, cruiser-racer production sailboats that have one foot in the comfort sailing realm and the other in the zippy performance world. What makes a Dehler a Dehler all changed with their newest build, the Dehler One Design, the company’s dive into the no-compromises racing circuit. A notable Paciﬁc Northwest tie-in is the involvement of Bieker Boats—the company of local Olympian sailor and talented sailboat designer Paul Bieker—with a patented Stealth Drive for the Dehler engine, a novel feature we’ll circle back to. Like all boats, the story starts at the hull. The One Design is fiberglass with a PVC sandwich core, a proven method, but has the addition of a so-called “Dehler carbon cage.” This carbon fiber superstructure is meant to add some of that lightweight carbon fiber strength for the racecourse.

Blackfin 272 Dual Console fish slaying tools, an integrated Fusion sound system, the optional drawer fridge and grill, and swim step with ladder are ingredients for a good time on a sunny day. Twin outboards are the standard setup with Mercury and Yamaha engines being factory standard. The Blackfin 272 DC has a rated maximum power of 600 horsepower (a lot for a boat this size) and a recommended horsepower of 447. According to Blackfin’s published num-

bers, a dual outboard setup with two Mercury engines at 600 horsepower total yields 33 miles per hour speed while consuming 17 gallons per hour. All in all, the Blackfin 272 Dual Console looks like a great time whether the goal is a day on the lake with friends or flying across bluewater chasing groceries. There are quite a few custom options, too. If interested, you can learn more from local dealer Irwin Yacht Sales. LOA: 29’5” • Beam: 9’4”

Specs & Info

Florida-based Blackfin boats have a Pacific Northwest dealer, Irwin Yacht Sales, after a long hiatus. These popular fiberglass outboard dayboats come in a variety of 20-something foot sizes and shapes, including the 272 Dual Console (DC). Firstly, it’s important to note that dual console does not mean dual helm, rather the term differentiates the 272 DC from its center console Blackfin sisters. What the 272 does have is a spacious starboard bias helm under a hardtop and across a walkway, another console to port with seating and access to a large, for a boat this size, enclosed head. Forward is generous seating in the foredeck, which includes deployable armrests and railings for comfort and safety. Aft of the helm is an open cockpit with a fishing emphasis, complete with integrated rod holders, live bait well, and options to stow the padded seating when it’s time for fish on. The

Viking 44 Sport Coupe open to the cockpit aft (standard), but Viking will gladly customize it with either a Costa clear enclosure or a full hardback enclosure. Down below, there’s a ton of space, including the two staterooms, enclosed head, and galley. Keeping all these cruising-related accommodations down below is a smart move to keep the above deck all about having fun. The master suite forward is larger than one might expect on a yacht this size, featuring an island queen

with lift-up top and maple-lined storage underneath. There’s a timeless elegance at play here with the arrow-like hull form and open foredeck, and a resistance to the industry trend to plop a foredeck lounge and tub-ify the yacht by blowing up the beam. There are no sheltered walkways forward and foredeck access will be primarily for anchoring or docking. The roomy cockpit offers a hybrid of benefits, appealing to both fishing enthusi-

Specs & Info

Viking Yachts may be an East Coast-based company, but, at the very least, the Nordic theme should make them feel welcome in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood or Poulsbo (aka Little Norway). The builder, known for its versatile, luxury motoryachts, announced another 44-footer, the Viking 44 Sport Coupe (SC). The 44 SC is an expansion of Viking’s successful 44 Convertible and 44 Open builds and is being colaunched with the 44 Sport Tower. All these builds incorporate the same hull, so the diﬀerences are above the waterline. The 44 SC is described as a rakish ﬁberglass deckhouse model. In general appearance, it has that slick, modern look of motoryachts you may see on the Great Lakes with similarly sized Tiaras. The convertible-styled deckhouse is

asts and cruisers. Like all Viking Yachts, the 44 SC is definitely set up to help land a big catch - although those choosing the sport coupe model are more likely using the boat as both a cruising and fishing yacht, versus purely as a sportfishing platform. The Viking 44 Sport Coupe looks to be a smart addition to a growing family of boats aimed to be both a cruiser and a fisher. If curious, you can learn more from local dealer Stan Miller Yachts.

Buoy to the Rescue Jonbuoy MOB Device Your life or the life of a crew member might count on having as many options and safety devices as possible in a manoverboard scenario. In addition to more traditional safety devices like tethered ring buoys, inflatable buoys that can be deployed instantaneously can be a benefit in emergency situations. When a crew member falls overboard, even at low speeds, the movement of the boat and water currents can quickly pull a person far away. Easily deployed with a pull of the handle, the Jonbuoy Recovery Module from Ocean Safety is brightly colored, marking the approxi-

mate location where the crew member went overboard so he or she can be located quickly when the boat is turned around. A large ballast pocket on the bottom of the module decreases drifting and stabilizes the device. The Jonbouy is large enough that the crew member in the water can climb aboard the device and get most of their body out of the water. The human body cools almost 20 times faster in water compared to air, and even mild hypothermia can make rescue far more difﬁcult. Keeping the crew member out of the water and warmer can allow him or her to assist in their own rescue.

The Jonbuoy has a tall, inﬂatable mast with a light and more importantly a lifting ring that can be attached to a halyard on a sailboat to help pull the victim back on board. There are also 15 yards of throwing line on the Jonbuoy that can be tossed by the victim to onboard crew members. Bright yellow fabric makes the Jonbuoy visible even in dark or foggy conditions. If you’d like to increase the number of ways your boat can respond to a man-overboard scenario, check out the Jonbuoy Recovery Module on oceansafety.com. Modules start at about $1,100.

Gotta Bag It Up Gill Team Race Bag Multi-day races and week-long cruises call for many changes of clothing and plenty of additional gear.

You'll Never Roam Alone weBBoat 4G Coastal Internet Antenna Part of the fun of boating is getting away from it all—you and the rest of the family can put away the phones for a while and enjoy the nature that surrounds you. But then again, several days can be quite a long time without any Netﬂix, and in situations like that, you’ll need a good internet antenna. The weBBoat 4G Plus from Glomex is a 3G/4G Wi-Fi Coastal Internet Dual SIM System that can provide an internet connection for your boat up to 20 miles away from the coast. When close to a marina or resort, the weBBoat will connect to the local Wi-Fi instead of 4G, saving boat owners money. When the boat starts to move out of range of the marina, the antenna will automatically switch over to 4G. The antenna dome utilizes four 4G diversity high-gain antennas and two high-gain Wi-Fi antennas, creating a Wi-Fi hotspot inside your boat that can be used by up to 32 people at one time. The dual SIM card ports allow for multiple internet carriers; if the signal from one carrier is weak, the other carrier can be used for a stronger signal.

Staying connected with land while boating has it's perks, like showing your friends on land what they're missing out on.

With a plug-and-play design, the weBBoat can be set up with just a 10/30 DC power source and one or two SIM cards for surfing the internet. Every aspect of the antenna, including the status of both SIM cards can be controlled through a free app available for iOS and Android. The small size and

footprint of the antenna means that it can go almost anywhere onboard and multiple mounting options increase the possibilities. If you’d like a stronger internet connection for those moments onboard, check out the weBBoat 4G Plus on glomex.us. Antennas start at about $995.

Hypervent Products Despite all the positives of boating and spending time on the water, boating does bring challenges not often encountered on land. One of which is elevated condensation in cabins and the bilge, especially in the colder months. One common problem spot for condensation is underneath mattresses, where water can cause mold and mildew to form. A way to prevent this moisture build-up is with a breathable mesh that goes underneath the mattress, allowing airflow to remove condensation. The products from Hypervent are made

from woven polymers shaped into sheets of mesh that will not collapse when the weight of a mattress is added to them. The material in a sheet of Hypervent cuts easily to ﬁt any size or shape of bed. Besides use in the berths, Hypervent can be used in other areas on board to increase airﬂow, like under gear in a wet locker, under bilge pumps, in the galley, and under ropes on deck. If you’re winterizing your boat and need a way to combat condensation, check out the products on hyperventonline.com. Hypervent sells for $12 per linear foot.

Gill Helmsman Gloves Moving around on the deck of a boat or working the lines during a race is not when you want your hands to go numb with cold. The recipe for a good pair of boating gloves is a complicated one; the ideal glove would be both thin for maximum maneuverability and thick enough for warmth, plus a gripping surface. Gill takes a shot at covering all these bases with their Helmsman Gloves, a pair of high-performance, waterproof sailing gloves. The Helmsman Gloves are constructed with a patented insulation that traps body heat and remains eﬀective even after being sprayed with water. When planning to do some winter season boating, check out the Gill Helmsman Gloves on gillmarine.com. Gloves sell for about $55.

I wanted to say, “Listen - my steering wheel is to catch my lines, no boats to the bow or stern, no wind, on backward,” but thought, “what’s the point?” Eventually, my biggest fear was realized.

Hotwire By Jeﬀ Cote

The Connected Boat for 2020 In a recent Hotwire article, we looked at the diﬀerence between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 electronic communication protocols. This month we are going to go a step further and compare NMEA to Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Most new onboard devices are compatible with all four, but what are the advantages of each technology on your boat?

NMEA Let’s start with a quick review. The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) was formed by a group of electronics dealers to grow their relationship with the electronics manufacturers. As technology started to take off in the marine industry, the association realized there must be some way for equipment from different manufacturers to share information. In 1980, the first NMEA 0180 standard was created and then updated in 1983 to NMEA 0183. The NMEA 0183 protocol defined how electronic signals were transmitted along a serial data bus. Each bus could have many listening devices but only one talking device. This is the most prevalent network we see on boats built before the early 2000s. However, most boaters never really realized the full benefits of interconnecting many electronic devices on board because of the difficulty of implementing NMEA 0183. In most NMEA 0183 installations, it was used to connect a VHF radio to a chartplotter for GPS coordinates or used to integrate an autopilot with a chartplotter to see heading waypoints and routing information. For the average boater, NMEA 0183 was not plug and play nor straightforward to install. With the increased need to share data across more and more devices, the newer NMEA 2000 was developed to allow any device to talk to another device. NMEA 2000 is closer to plug and play ready, scalable, and much easier to install. Unlike

60 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JANUARY 2020

Ethernet

Wi-Fi

NMEA 0183, which uses a serial connection, NMEA 2000 uses a Controller Area Network (CAN bus), which allows all parts of your boat to communicate with one another. NMEA 2000, also known as N2K, replaces all of the NMEA 0183 wiring and interconnections with one single cable backbone and allows for multiple, simultaneous talkers and listeners. The data that can be shared over NMEA 2000 is nearly endless. If there is an N2K sensor, it can be shared. Everything from wind speed, barometric pressure, GPS position, AIS targets, fuel ﬂow sensors, smoke detectors, engine data, bilge levels, you name it. Manufacturers have even created converter devices that allow for NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 and vice versa to share info across both NMEA networks.

Ethernet While NMEA takes care of lower speed sensor networks, Ethernet is still required for high-speed data like radar, sonar, sharing charts, and video cameras. These RJ45 type connectors that you ﬁnd in your home are not rugged enough to be exposed on the back of a chartplotter. Manufacturers, like Raymarine, have improved the RJ45 connector with a waterproof, vibration tolerant, twist pin connector speciﬁcally designed for the marine environment. A NMEA standard for the transfer of data using the 802.3 Ethernet protocol is also being developed and will be called OneNet. To complicate matters even more, each manufacturer uses proprietary technology, so there is no sharing of radar or sounder imaging between manufactures. For example, a boater cannot mix a Furuno Radar with a Garmin chartplotter. Setting up an Ethernet connection on your boat allows your radar, sounders, and chartplotters (aka multi-function displays) to be interconnected.

Wi-Fi All of the major marine equipment manufacturers have added a Wi-Fi component either directly through the display or via a Wi-Fi black box. This was another game changer as it allowed boaters to not only view but also control any chartplotter on the boat with a smart device. This upgrade instantly adds a mobile second helm or allows crew members away from the helm to follow along on the trip. Wi-Fi also allows for instant updates on weather or even software.

Paradigm Shift With the shortest day of the year behind us, the countdown to those long summer days begins. Here we see an idyllic Lake Washington scene aboard Paradigm, a 2007 Hampton 740 Cockpit Skylounge. With 74 feet length overall, Paradigm is a proper motoryacht loaded with twin C-18 Caterpillar inboard diesels for a total of 2,002 horsepower. She reportedly cruises at a lively 18 knots with a maximum speed of 22 knots. In the background is Andrews Bay, a dedicated municipal anchorage nestled next to Seward Park. There are two locations that motorized boats can land ashore; to the west at the Ferdinand Street hand-carry boat launch and on the beach south near the Seward Park Arts Studio (10 horsepower or less here). All craft should give at least 100 yards clearance to the Reverend Murphy Fishing Pier to the northeast and to the swimming beach to the southwest. The Pacific Northwest is truly a boaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting that Paradigm is currently listed at $1,495,000 from the Hampton Yacht Group.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein

Salute to being Resolute! This month kicks off a new year of fishing and boating with the big Seattle Boat Show, January 24 to February 1! As usual, there will be a lot of new boats and gear in 2020 to examine. If you’re thinking about making a big purchase or adding some electronics or accessories to your existing vessel, now is the time to do it. January is also the time for those New Year’s resolutions to begin. Whether it’s getting you or your boat in shape, we will cover that this month, so let’s get to it! We’ve gone over fi shing vessel maintenance and organization in this column quite a bit in the past. As I’ve said, it’s paramount to get your boat in fishing and foul-weather shape now for when the angling heats up in February. However, have you ever thought of getting yourself in shape for fishing? Getting healthier is always on many people’s agenda for the new year. Sticking to that resolution is usually the hard part. Here’s my take on how and why to get yourself ready physically for boating and angling and keep yourself there. When many folks in the general populace think about fishing, they may think of the beer-bellied guy in the boat pulling up a trout or bass, complete with said beer adding to said belly. A cooler, a coffee can full of worms,

Left: A charter captain like Derek Floyd needs a lot of stamina to perform through the season, and not just for lifting a client’s giant lingcod like this one! Below: Thirty-pound king salmon curls make for a fun arm workout!

and a red and white bobber complete the picture, with 12-ounce curls and maybe, reeling in a 12-inch fish being the most strenuous physical activity of the day. However, for anyone who has fought pelagic species in the saltwater, or reeled a husky halibut or sturgeon up from the deep, or battled a big king or ling, or rowed and hiked to get where the fish are, they would tell you that angling can be like an extreme sport. I’ve had many a day with fish on the line that will make your back and arms feel like jelly. Being in better shape and ready to fight big fish will make those challenging days much easier and let you recover faster. Strength and stamina come into play in the safety aspect of boating and fishing, too. Moving around the boat and, worst case scenario, having to get back in the boat if you went over are serious concerns for being in shape. So, that covers the “why,” other than just feeling better and being happier with yourself overall, for reasons to get healthy in the new year. Now let’s get to the “how.” New Year’s resolutions are infamously known for falling by the wayside in a couple months. So really what we’re looking for is a long term, sustainable change in lifestyle for those who feel they would like to be healthier. And that’s probably just about all of us. There are big differences in starting points depending on factors such as age, existing physical conditioning, health, etc. that come in to play for everyone. A good rule of thumb for exercise is to start slow. A current saying is that “sitting is the new smoking,” so just getting up and moving more often will make an improvement in your stamina. Walking, biking, hiking, and rowing of all kinds are a great way to get in shape. A home or local gym weight and resistance training program will strengthen those muscles that come into play when fishing. A few times a week targeting different muscle groups is about all you need to prepare legs, back, arms, chest, and shoulders for reeling in those big fish and having energy to spare at the end of the day. Keeping it simple and making it fun is the best way to approach exercise for the angler. One great thing about fishing is that you’re catching some of the best protein on the planet as the end game. Salmon is an almost perfect food for health. Any other Continued on Page 104

On Watch By Peter Schrappen

SWOT Analysis for PNW Boating Now for something completely different, I offer a recreational boating SWOT for you to throw darts at or hang on your power wall. For the uninitiated, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis was invented in the 1960s by management consultant Albert Humphrey at the Stanford Research Institute. Previously, corporate planning had not met with much success. Fortune 500 companies needed a way to produce long-term planning that was executable and reasonable and, voila, the SWOT analysis was born. Let’s give it a go, shall we? Here’s my SWOT analysis for the Paciﬁc Northwest boating scene:

Strengths: Raw numbers: There are 240,000 registered boats in Washington, which doesn’t count for any boats less than 16 feet and 20 horsepower. The boating economy contributes $6.9 billion to Washington’s economy and $121 billion overall. Peak experience: Is there an activity out there that brings together nature, the environment, adventure, sport, and on and on like recreational boating and fishing? If the psychologist Abraham Maslow was right about the hierarchy of needs and that it’s all about reaching the peak of your pyramid to achieve self-actualization, then I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he was talking about boating as a key element to success. Advocacy efforts: While you are out cruising, an Aplus-caliber lobbying team is speaking up on your behalf in Olympia to protect and grow boating. Fortunately for us business, fishing allocation, permitting, and boating laws have spokespeople that get their calls returned and are consulted before laws are created.

Weaknesses: False narrative: Too many lawmakers use shortcuts to their thinking and stereotype boaters as all part of the 1%. When this occurs, it’s that much harder for them to take our concerns seriously. Too many agencies regulate boating: Nine different agencies in Washington regulate boating and fishing. Put another way, regulators at nine different agencies wake up every morning thinking about how they can create more regulations for boating and fishing. We are just one of many: There is so much noise in Olympia clamoring for attention. Boating has a (relatively) small PAC to make contributions. Our issues are not seen as important as others (like finding funding to cure cancer) and there are so many organizations and elected officials promoting their bills on behalf of their priorities. Looking

66 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JANUARY 2020

for a data point? There were 2,214 bills introduced in the 2018 legislative session.

Opportunities: Education funding: Have you taken your boat to get repaired recently only to ﬁnd out that you are at the end of the line and it’s a long wait? Thanks to the reframing of marine trades workforce issues around education funding and state Representative Gael Tarleton’s leadership, $4 million was allocated to bolster career and technical education in Washington’s school system. Getting your voice heard: Whether it’s in Olympia or Washington, D.C. (or maybe from your galley), there are ample openings to weigh in on the legislative process. Lawmakers love hearing from you (although they may act otherwise). Let me know if you would like to get acquainted with your elected oﬃcial. While some say that they work for us, I like to say that our job is to make their lives easier. Washington Boating Alliance: Unfortunately, this organization has languished in 2018. I’m putting it out here; I will get this vital organization rebooted and will make it the backbone of my column in 2020. Stay tuned.

Threats: Decreasing salmon populations: Each year, recreational anglers see less opportunity to salmon fish, but are asked for more money. There’s a direct relationship between a decrease in boat sales and less days on the water fishing. And I haven’t even gone into the impacts of global warming or gillnets on salmon or declining whale populations. Not to mention the complexity of fish politics and yikes, there’s a recipe for trouble. Tightening of regulations: Regulations will only get tougher over time. There’s a principle called backsliding, which simply means that regulations like the Boatyard Permit can only get tougher with each iterative permit. As for an emerging regulatory threat, look to see a clamping down on wakesurfing in Washington’s lakes. The smart phone: I am concerned that too many people are resorting to playing on their phones and not engaging in politics and even boating. Look around. Everyone is on their phone. Phones are not just an extension of us, they are us. I am concerned that humans will just couch surf and not wakesurf soon. What does your SWOT look like? Let me know. 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

Go Hawks! Tailgate Party Ideas I can remember my first Seahawk tailgate party as if it were yesterday. The Seahawks were playing the Raiders, who were the heavy favorites. Jim Zorn was our QB and Steve Largent was his target. Sadly, we lost, but the party in the parking lot was a blowout. Roasted tri-tip on crusty garlic rolls, grilled shrimp with garlic butter, Caesar salad, and many more dishes made the loss easier to bear for our little group in the back of the parking lot. My buddy Tom crafted me a Kamikaze with fresh muddled lime and offered to introduce me to some friends. As I walked through the lot looking at all the great appetizers, juicy burgers, and tempting desserts, I quickly realized that these people were much more than friends. More importantly, they all sat in the same section in the King Dome on the home side near the 10-yard line and had done so since the first pre-season game in 1976. These were loyal season ticket holders that been there for each other; sharing wins, losses, marriages, divorces, and parents becoming grandparents. Most of all, they were Seahawks fans through and through and spoke about each player as if they were family. I was honored to be a part of this tradition

and looked forward to going to the games when my buddy’s girlfriend was too busy to be a plus one. The bottom line is that I am big Seahawks fan, and nothing gets the game started off in the right direction as an amazing tailgate party with dozens of dishes from a parking lot full a rowdy group of 12s. In this month’s article, I hope to give your game day snacks a twist on the classics. Deviled eggs are always a welcome sight when I walk by the card table, but why not change things up with a few surprises at the next game? I have provided the standard recipe I grew up eating every holiday but also added Seahawk flair. I took the traditional chicken wings and threw out the bone to turn them into a cheesy dip. Last, but not least, is my Asian–New York deli fusion dish of a Pastrami Reuben Egg Rolls. Have fun with these tailgate appetizers as we root for the Seahawks through the playoffs and onto the Super Bowl. GO HAWKS! 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.

Deviled Eggs with Unlimited Variations 8 to 10 servings

2 dozen eggs, large 1 cup Best Foods® mayonnaise 2 Tablespoon yellow mustard ½ teaspoon white pepper, ground 1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon onion powder 2 drops Tabasco hot sauce Dash of paprika

Directions: In a medium saucepan, place 24 eggs gently in pan as not to crack them. Cover with cold water and turn burner to medium high. When water begins to boil, cover with lid and remove from heat and set timer for 18 minutes. Let stand until timer rings. Allow to cool.

Chef’s Note, Deviled Eggs Options: Blue Devils – Garnish with blue cheese crumbles and crispy bacon bits. Thai Red Curry and Shrimp – Add 2 teaspoons of Thai red curry paste and garnish with bay shrimp and a cilantro leaf. Horseradish and Green Onion – Add 1 Tablespoon pure horseradish and garnish with chopped green onion. Dirty Martini – Add 2 Tablespoons finely chopped green olives and 1 Tablespoon of olive juice from jar. Garnish each with a slice of green olive. Green Eggs and Ham – Add ½ avocado pureed, 1 Tablespoon sour cream, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Garnish with julienne prosciutto.

68 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JANUARY 2020

Cut eggs in half lengthwise, remove yolks, and place in a small bowl. Clean egg whites and place on plate. Grate egg yolks with a fine grater. Add mayonnaise, mustard, white pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Tabasco hot sauce to grated eggs. Mix until smooth. Place egg yolk mixture in center of egg white divets, using a small spoon or a pastry bag with a star tip. Garnish each egg with a small amount of paprika. Chill until ready to serve.

12th Man Devils Deviled egg recipe above 20 drops of blue food color 10 drops of neon green food color Directions: Follow deviled egg recipe, but before filling the egg white halves, remove ¼ cup of the egg yolk mixture and place in a small bowl. Add several drops of blue food color into ¼ cup of egg mixture and stir to combine into a dark Seahawk blue. Add several drops of neon green food color to the remaining egg mixture and stir to combine into a neon green Seahawk color. Fill the egg white halves with the neon green egg mixture. Then fill the dark blue egg mixture into a pastry bag with a small 1/8-inch-round tip. Top each egg by piping the number 12 in the center of each neon green egg.

Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip & Tortilla Chips Serves 6 to 8

1 pound chicken breast, poached and shredded 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes 1 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce® 1 cup Best Foods® mayonnaise ½ cup blue cheese crumbles

1 teaspoon black pepper, ground 3 each garlic cloves, minced ½ cup green onion 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese, grated 1 ½ cup cheddar cheese, grated

Directions: Place chicken breast in a saucepan and cover with water. Heat over medium high heat until the water begins to boil. Continue cooking chicken at a boil for three minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let stand, flipping chicken over a few times, for about 18 minutes. Remove chicken from poaching water. Allow chicken to cool for a few minutes then shred chicken breast into small bitesized pieces. Preheat oven to 350˚ F. In a saucepan over medium heat, add cubed cream cheese, Franks Red Hot Sauce, mayonnaise, blue cheese, black pepper, and garlic. Heat and stir until the cream cheese is melted and creamy. Add shredded chicken, green onions, 1 cup of mozzarella, and 1 cup of cheddar. Continue to heat mixture while stirring until the cheese has melted and a creamy sauce is created. Pour the chicken and cheese mixture into a 9 x 9-inch casserole dish. Top with remaining ½ cup of mozzarella and ½ cup of cheddar evenly over top of chicken and cheese mixture. Place dish in oven and bake until the cheese is bubbling and the top is browned. Remove from oven and serve with a mixture of tortilla chips, crackers, vegetables, or warm crusty bread.

Pastrami Rueben Egg Rolls Makes 20 egg rolls

1 pound pastrami or corned beef, deli-sliced thin 4 cups green cabbage, sliced thin 1 cup yellow onion, sliced thin and roughly chopped 2 cups purple cabbage, sliced thin ½ cup canola oil ¼ cup pickle juice ¼ cup soy sauce ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground

1 packages egg roll wrappers 1 each egg, whipped in a small bowl 1 quart canola oil for frying ¼ cup butter ¼ cup all-purpose flour 3⁄4 cup milk ½ cup beer 1 cup Swiss cheese, grated 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions: Ask your deli to slice the pastrami thin, but thick enough to hold its shape. Roll the sliced pastrami into tight bundles, then slice into thin shreds of beef. Slice the cabbages into thin slices. Cut the onion into quarters, then slice the quarters into thin pieces. Heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium high heat. Add oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Add onion, green cabbage, and purple cabbage, then sauté until the cabbage begins to wilt. Add the shredded pastrami to the mixture, then quickly stir with a spoon until combined. Add pickle juice, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir the ingredients well to season vegetables and pastrami. Remove from sauté pan and place in a strainer over the sink. Let cabbage mixture drain by compressing it with a wooden spoon. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Open a package of egg roll wrappers and cover with a damp towel. Starting with one wrapper, lay the wrapper on the work table with one of the corners pointing at you. Using a pastry brush, paint a ½ inch stripe of egg wash from the wrapper corner on the left to the top corner, then continue painting to the right corner.

Chef’s Note: Where’d all this come from? While enjoying a local draft beer in a brewery in Portland, I looked at the appetizer menu and their Rueben egg rolls caught my attention. When the rolls came to our table, they looked like the classic egg rolls served in most Chinese restaurants but after biting into the crispy roll, the taste of tender corned beef, pickled cabbage, and caraway was a big surprise. They were very good, but what is a Rueben without swiss cheese? For this tailgate snack, I added a beer into Swiss cheese sauce and dip the crispy pastrami rolls into the sauce.

Place ½ cup of the cabbage mixture in the center of the wrapper. Lift the corner facing you up and over the cabbage mixture. Press the wrapper down over the mixture and pull the corner slowly toward you, compacting the cabbage mixture to a compact bundle. Tightly roll the bundle half turn away from you. Pick up the left corner and fold it tightly over the edge of the bundle followed by the right corner. Now roll the bundle away from you, enclosing the mixture inside the wrapper. Place the finished rolls on a sheet pan dusted with corn starch. When all the rolls are completed, cover the rolls with a damp towel until ready to fry. In a saucepan over medium heat, add butter. When butter is melted, add flour and stir until well combined. Continue stirring the flour and butter mixture until it begins to turn light brown. Slowly add milk and beer, then whisk until white sauce thickens. Add cheese and Dijon. Whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat and hold warm. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, add oil and heat to 350˚. Add pastrami rolls and fry for 5 to 6 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. Place crispy rolls on sheet pan lined with paper towels to soak up extra oil. Serve pastrami rolls with warm beer-cheese sauce.

These tailored adventures are more achievable than you may believe with Pacific Northwest-based resources and almost limitless destinations. BY NOR R I S COM E R

72 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JANUARY 2020

Last month we published our annual charter guide, a resource meant to give boaters looking for an adventure the contacts they need to get started with a chartered experience. But the umbrella term "charter" can be problematic because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so all encompassing. For example, a day trip with a fishing charter chasing albacore out of West Port, Washington, has little

in common with a weeklong barebones sailboat charter in the San Juan Islands. Standing tall as its own species of yacht chartering is the luxury yacht vacation, forgoing the term charter altogether in favor of a more luxuriant nomenclature. But what defines luxury yacht vacations? Although not formally defined, we attempt to do so here after chatting with Worth Avenue Yachts, a company

Seattle office just last year, but managing a luxury yacht charter fleet both in the Northwest and abroad has been a top priority for the company. The boat brokerage company has two offices in Florida, one in San Diego, and another in Monaco, and at the time of this writing manages a fleet of 16 yachts spread around the world. Why does Prokorym think the Pacific Northwest is ripe for superyacht charters? “From here to Alaska is some of the most stunning, captivating scenery in the world,” said Prokorym. “I think the Pacific Northwest is an underserved area for charters at this level. If you look at the landscape here, there are a lot of smaller, unique, under-the-radar charter companies, but almost nobody is doing it above a certain threshold. There’s a lot of bareboat and flotilla-style charters, but our goal is to bring what Worth Avenue has established around the world to the Pacific Northwest.” But Prokorym isn’t just talking about offering higher end charters in the waters between here and Alaska. “One thing we found is that there are all kinds of clients who want to charter in Croatia or the Bahamas or what have you, but didn’t have a portal in Seattle where they can come in, sit down with Lori, and look at the different products we have to offer to go anywhere in the world.” Despite being in town for less than a full year, the Worth Avenue Yachts’ Seattle office has already booked a handful of vacations, including one in Desolation Sound. The role of Eastes, who has a back-

ground in the hospitality industry, is devoted to planning and executing Worth Avenue Yachts’ luxury yacht vacations. “The client who booked that Desolation Sound trip was a local boater who wanted to crab and fish with their kids so they could experience the real Pacific Northwest deal together,” she added.

FIRST THINGS FIRST: THE YACHT One obviously needs a worthy yacht for a luxury yacht vacation, but what makes a boat a good fit for the job? Prokorym weighed in. “I would say these experiences are all about the service. With that in mind, the boats that excel in this realm are crewcentric.” For example, if selecting a boat for eight guests, thinking about the minimum crew requirements is important. Prokorym thinks three or four minimum crew is about right, so the ideal luxury yacht charter should have good accommodations for them. “I’d start with crew accommodations and the size of boat that will accommodate X number of people.” “We don’t have anything under about 90 feet because of those requirements,” says Eastes. “And it has to be in great condition. The charter manager has to get on it and be able to say, ‘Do a refit, change this or that.’ Most of our boats have undergone refits and are spectacular.” Prokorym looks at it as a consumer. “It’s a lot of money for a nice vacation, so my expectations should be high. We need an excellent chef and the boat has to be really nice, there’s pride in that." Besides the quality of the vessel itself,

that offers these experiences both locally and abroad.

A NEW PLAYER IN TOWN Ray Prokorym, head of the Worth Avenue Yachts Seattle Office, and Lori Eastes, the Seattle office’s yacht vacations coordinator, are both professional hard chargers in the luxury yacht vacation game. Worth Avenue Yachts opened their

it’s worth noting that Worth Avenue Yachts doesn’t own the boats in its fleet. The yacht owner generally uses their boat for however many weeks or months out of the year and puts it up for chartering when not in use. A yacht manager is often utilized to work with companies like Worth Avenue Yachts for booking purposes, in addition to dealing with the nitty gritty of crew hiring, paperwork, and the like.

THE CREW Even the best luxury vacation-ready yacht in the world will languish without a good crew. Another key piece of this kind of charter is the professional-grade captains, crew, and chefs involved. Bareboat charters are popular in the Pacific

Northwest, but, by definition, require the client to be captain and his/her friends and family the crew and cooks. With the luxury yacht vacation, if you do any of the real work aboard, the provider hasn’t done their job. Like the boat itself, the captain, crew, and chef are managed by the yacht owner and yacht manager. There’s plenty of competitive pressure for managers to present their hires and yachts in the best possible manner to be selected to work with companies like Worth Avenue Yachts. When interviewed, Prokorym and Eastes were getting ready to go to a chartering convention in Antigua. “We step aboard the various yachts for charter and they set the table and try

Y A C H T S Worth Avenue Yachts is a company that specializes in luxury yacht sales, charter, and construction. Founded in 2011 by Michael Mahan and Brian Tansey, this expanding Florida-based company has offices in Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Seattle, San Diego, and Monaco. Worth Avenue Yachts offers high-end luxury yacht vacations on superyachts all around the world in places like Alaska, Tahiti, and the Mediterranean.

to wow us because they want us to book their boats,” says Eastes. “You learn about the crews who are good too. It’s largely the captain’s duty to make sure they have a great crew, and, in my experience, the crews are mostly young and fun, 35 and under, and well qualified. The chefs and captains tend to be more seasoned.” “Their credentials are important too,” adds Prokorym. “In addition to the captain’s ticket to operate the vessel, there’s usually a host of other credentials. The crews are also of high caliber and should be capable of running the yacht if they have to.” “You’ve got somebody’s 20-milliondollar asset in your care,” says Eastes. “You better be a professional. Stakes are very high.”

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE With yacht and dialed-in crew ready to go, it’s time to offer destination vacation packages to the world. While Worth Avenue Yachts offers pre-made, seven-day vacation packages to most of the world’s premium cruising destinations, the level of customization is high. “The itinerary is up to the client,” says Eastes. “You can opt for the pre-made Bahamas vacation, but also say exactly where you want to go. The experience is up to the client. They can eat caviar and drink Don Perignon every night if they want. They’ll pay for it, but we’ll make it happen.” If a client wants a certain yacht in the fleet for a cruise in a different location then

where it’s located, Worth Avenue Yachts can accommodate. Eastes continues, “You can say, hey, I want to be on this boat that’s in Italy, but I want to go to Spain and Portugal. We may have to move the boat there if the captain accepts the charter and that could cost extra for the delivery, but once you get down there, you have complete control.” Another benefit to this flexibility is that, if a client doesn’t want to stick to the itinerary during the trip, moving is as simple as asking the captain to do so. “Think of it this way, if a family rented a five-star hotel somewhere and didn’t like whatever, they’re stuck there,” says Prokorym. “Now you’ve got your own five-star hotel that can go somewhere else and do pretty much whatever you want. You can change locations and decide to go rock climbing somewhere, just get the hook up and go.” As far as far-flung places like Antarctica are concerned, Eastes is insistent that all client desires are worth a conversation. In many cases, the biggest obstacles are not physical—as these superyachts should be able to handle just about anything—but regulatory. “It’s not hard to get places, but you do have to know the laws,” says Eastes. “If you’re cruising the Mediterranean, you’ll want to know the differences between the countries you’ll operate in. The taxes in Croatia are very low while the taxes in Italy and France are high. There’s all sorts of considerations when considering cruising locations, but making it happen is what we do.” Some places like the Mediterranean or the Bahamas are pieces of cake from the regulatory standpoint because they have long been frequented by charter companies. Some places like Thailand and parts of Southeast Asia are growing in popularity, so the industry is still learning more about the laws. There are designated companies that serve as localized legal experts who provide legal council. In fact, the regulatory landscape of superyacht charters in the Pacific Northwest is one of the major considerations for Worth Avenue Yachts as they attempt to trailblaze luxury yacht vacations in our waters. Prokorym elaborates: “It’s not too much of an obstacle, but we’re finding that not many people have really figured out what we’re trying to do yet. It’s a complicated area regulationswise because we’re right up against Canada and Southeast Alaska, and all

these regions have different requirements for chartering. For example, there are different rules if you’re using crews of the host country vs. foreign crews, same with domestic hull vs. foreign hull.”

THE CLIENTS While pursing superyacht charter options, it’s easy for most people to get sticker shock. However, you don’t have to be a millionaire to pull it off, as Eastes explains. “A lot of people don’t realize you can charter a luxury boat. Yes, it looks expensive initially, but if you have six or even twelve couples splitting the costs, it’s not that bad of a price for a high-end vaca-

tion. If you’re going to stay at a four-star hotel in Hawaii for a week, it is usually about equal.” There is a wide price range in this kind of experience with Worth's fleet, from the most economical Windward Cheoy Lee motoryacht (89-foot for six guests at $31,500 plus expenses a week) to the 257-foot Abeking & Rasmussen Eminence ($800,000 plus expenses for 12 guests a week). That’s a range of $5,250 to $66,667 per person for a week, certainly not bargain bin prices, but the lower end is around what an allout luxury hotel vacation would cost. Is there a type of person who goes for these experiences? Yes and no, says Eastes. “I know people in our Florida office inter-

act with people who have the money and who talk about buying a big boat, but it’s generally a good idea to charter a boat first to see what you like and don’t like.” The chartering process helps cultivate these people into an informed buyer. Putting them on a couple of charters tends to convert these clients into buyers. “You find that charter workers in Florida are extremely successful with the repeat clients,” said Eastes. “Once someone charters a boat, it often turns into a once-a-year experience. They almost always repeat, they love to do it.” Prokorym offered a story. “We just had a client approach me, and a really good friend of his was turning 75 and she wanted to do something memorable with a group. I can’t think of a better way to do that than to cruise the Med for a week on a beautiful boat. We brought the idea to him, we talked about

what they wanted, and then he showed the polished product to her. She said, ‘Yup, I’ll remember that. I want snacks at two and champagne at three.’”

THE X FACTOR: AN EXPERIENCE With the perfect yachts, ace crew, jawdropping destinations, and clients rallied under one banner, a company like Worth Avenue Yachts is in the sweet spot to offer luxury yacht vacations to the world. But maybe these luxury vacations are more than a sum of their parts. At the end of the day, they’re about living life to the fullest. “To put it simply, we’re offering people experiences instead of material things,” says Prokorym. “These are expensive vacations, but would you rather give your loved ones an experience of a lifetime or shiny toys that collect dust?” What’s more, Prokorym insists that spreading the gospel of luxury superyacht vacations

both in the Pacific Northwest and abroad is good for boating. “It’s good for the industry. It exposes people to boating, and there’s different ways to do that. One of our smaller 90-foot boats might have six guests who don’t have any boating exposure at all. Maybe they have such a good time that they buy an entry-level ski boat after the vacation. It’s important for the grow boating aspect, we’re all for that.” Eastes is optimistic about the future of luxury yacht charters in the Pacific Northwest. “If we can accomplish these Pacific Northwest superyacht charters seamlessly, there are lots of larger yacht owners in the area who are interested in joining our charter fleet and have reached out. They’d do it themselves, but they don’t want to do everything we do in terms of vetting the personnel, figuring out the rules and regulations, etc.” For now, things are going well, according to Prokorym. “We’ve got a client who is looking at buying a 32-meter boat that’ll be in Seattle under our management and available for charter initially in the San Juan Islands. That would be the incubator program we’d like to see, then we’ll be off to the races for the area. Lots of regulatory things going on, but I’m determined to get this done.” Norris Comer is an award-winning writer and former Managing Editor at Northwest Yachting magazine.

Both the Seattle Boat Show and Vancouver International Boat Show are upon us. Read on for insider tips to make the most out of these awesome boating-themed opportunities.

90 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JANUARY 2020

The Seattle Boat Show and VanT couver International Boat Show are coming in hot, and it's time to get organized to make the most of your time. The secret is to pace yourself and plan to see what interests you first before it gets too crowded and you get too tired. For the past eight years, I have been working in a booth at the Vancouver International Boat Show, so I miss out on a big chunk of that show. That is why I really enjoy going to the Seattle Boat Show.

Left: The main ďŹ&#x201A;oor of CenturyLink Events Center in Seattle. There are plenty of interesting things on display from exhibitors ranging from boat builders to the newest boating accessories.

5-9, and you can visit the website at vancouverboatshow.ca/2020/. Sign up to get the Skipper's Club newsletter for the latest info on the British Columbia boat show. Next, choose the days and times you would like to attend, keeping in mind that weekends are going to be the busiest. Unless it rains. The weather can keep people home, so pack a mini foldable umbrella, throw on your duck boots, and take advantage of the smaller crowds on rainy days. After that, decide why you are going to the show. Are you actually looking for a new boat? New gear? Maybe you are all about the seminars and presentations, or is this could be mostly a social affair. Why you are attending can dictate how you plan. Quite often, I download the floor plan ahead of time and highlight the booths I want to visit. If you are looking for a new boat and you know what you want, go online and arrange a time with the broker to look at the boat. I always recommend arriving first thing in the morning when everyone is bright-eyed. Some brokers offer private viewing times and complimentary tickets. If you aren't sure what type of boat you are looking for, then wear shoes that are comfortable but easy to take off and put on so you can board lots of boats. Get to the show early and go on every different kind of boat possible. It will become apparent, very quickly, what you like and don't like about the layout and options. Manufacturers typically have the brand new inventory at the main show and the "previously loved" inventory at the floating show. Check out the Boat Finder option online, and search by boat brand and pricing. Do some homework before you go and set a budget, whether you are purchasing

outright or financing. With skyrocketing gas and diesel prices, it pays to ask what the operating costs are going to be. It is a competitive market, so you may also be in a position to ask for a maintenance package or an extended warranty. Maybe they are willing to throw in some safety gear or give you a reduced price on the dinghy. You will also want to consider the cost of moorage and insurance. If you are looking for new gear, both the Seattle and Vancouver shows are set up so that you can walk through the vendors easily. Companies pay a good amount of money to participate and staff the booths, so take advantage of that and have your specific questions ready. This is also an excellent time to see products up close and personal. For example, if you are looking at new navigation equipment, vendors have the chartplotters and radar systems on display so you can try out the touch screen or buttons and decide what is most comfortable for you to use. Can you still use it in the rain while wearing gloves? Is the screen crystal clear and easy to see in daylight? These experiences just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be replicated online. Another great idea is to take a photo of your existing helm or battery setup with you to the show. If you are looking for a new chartplotter or VHF, take some measurements ahead of time, allowing vendors to see your current setup and make recommendations. These two epic shows are not only about boats and products, it is also a chance to check out some new destinations. Marinas want you to visit, so they have promotions like two nights for one or free shore power with your stay. Many also offer a shuttle bus to go into town to buy groceries or bike rentals. They usually have a large chart on display so you can

The Seattle Boat Show is the West Coast's largest show. There's a lot to remember, but this information should be useful: • Avoid the Mercer Mess and Seattle traffic when headed to Lake Union. Take the free shuttle instead. There are shuttles from CenturyLink Events Center to Chandler's cove and back.

SEATTLE

JANUARY 24-FEBRUARY 1, 2020

• There is no more free parking, but you can purchase an e-ticket and receive $3 parking, available all days at Mariners Garage at T-Mobile Park (otherwise be prepared to pay $20 at CenturyLink Field Event Center) and on weekends at South Lake Union at the 300 Yale Street North Garage with a free shuttle to the show. • Attend the Lake Union floating boat show first as it closes at 1700 hours. • If you can't decide between all the seminars, purchase a nine-day pass for $30 and you won't have to choose. • January 28 is Cheese The Day, and you can enjoy a free grilled cheese sandwich courtesy of Seattle Sourdough. • Don’t forget to wine-down at the Uncorked event on Opening Night. I love this event because I love wine. Tickets are $30 and sell out quickly. Tasting stations are set up throughout the indoor location at CenturyLink Field, offering wines from different West Coast wineries. Tickets include a complimentary souvenir wine glass and six tasting tokens. Another tip, each token is good for one pour, so if you like a particular wine you can get a double pour for two tokens. • “Sails & Ales” is similar to the Uncorked event but features craft beers. This sail-abratory evening is held on January 31 and also includes a complimentary souvenir craft beer glass and six tasting tokens. • This year, the Seattle Boat Show will be featuring a display of the history of boats and bathing suits. This exhibit will take you from the 1800s to present with live models on January 24 during the Uncorked event. • January 30 is Dogs On Deck for all of us dog lovers! Purchase a ticket online and bring your dog with you to CenturyLink. Meet new friends, get a pet tag engraved, or attend the 5:00 p.m. Yappy Hour. Dogs are always welcome at the South Lake Union location. • Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, and Spartan Boats are hosting a 10,000 square foot catch-andrelease trout pond.

see how to enter the marina and the size of the slips. To top it off, they have a ton of local knowledge and can recommend the best restaurants, gunkholing, and even golf courses. The shows are also excellent opportunities to talk to the local yacht clubs. Whether you are looking for moorage or camaraderie on the water, they can give an insight into the events, cruises, and the benefits of membership. I think joining a club was one of the best things I did. I have participated in several cruises, met some wonderful people, and attended monthly events discussing everything from boat insurance to wine glasses that don't tip over. Which brings me to my favorite part of the show, the seminars and presentations. They are listed on the boat show website, so decide ahead of time which ones you would like to see and plan your attendance around those dates and times. I always recommend putting them in your phone's calendar with a 15-minute reminder. It is very easy to be talking to someone on the far side of the stadium when you realize your presentation is starting. Most are free with your show ticket, but some require that you sign up ahead of time. Both shows are also hosting a Women's Day— Seattle is Monday, January 27 and Vancouver is Saturday, February 8. If it is just social, there is always the option of going after work, wandering the show, and then heading out for dinner. Some boaters also decide to do the main show one day and then head to the floating show the next day. So are you ready? Here's a few tried and true tips and tricks that will serve

FEB RUARY 5-9, 2020

Headed to the Vancouver Internatioal Boat Show? Here are some special tips to consider from an insider's perspective: • Vancouver parking is limited and expensive, so I always take the train. If you are coming from out of town, park at the River Rock Casino in Richmond ($2.50 for 24 hours). The Skytrain is only 15 minutes to downtown. • The ﬂoating show closes at 1730 hours each day, so go there ﬁrst. You can also park at Granville Island and take the free ferry shuttle to BC Place.

you well at any boat show: 1. Purchase tickets online ahead of time and download the boat show app. I always say, "More organization means less stress." 2. Both shows offer reduced rates on hotels, but you have to book early. A few include complimentary breakfast, Wi-Fi, and are close to the free shuttle. 3. A stylish backpack is the way to go. Having your hands free is a bonus, and the even weight distribution won't drag you down. Many new ones include a bladder for drinking water, as buying water at the shows is ridiculously expensive. Or bring a water bottle and fill up at the water fountain to save some money and reduce your plastics use. 4. Wear super comfortable shoes or bring an extra, slightly larger pair with fresh socks to switch into at the end of the day. And wear your pedometer, the steps will add up! 5. Take a break halfway through your day. Rummage through your brochures and take a moment to reflect. If you made a list ahead of time, do a double-check to ensure you haven't missed the products or booths you wanted to see. 6. It will likely be cold and rainy. After all, both shows are held in January/February. The stadiums are large and not always warm. Dress in layers and top it off with a lightweight rain-proof windbreaker instead of a heavy parka that you have to pack around all day. And don't forget a small, easy-to-pack umbrella. I take mine everywhere because it is so compact. I found one online that is less than 6" folded and fits in the palm of my hand. It has an auto-open function and the all-important Pacific Northwest wind vent at the top. 7. Have things at hand. I put my show guide on an outside pocket for easy access and clip a pen to the top. 8. Take notes or a photograph of the products you like. Ask about "show deals." 9. Ask about booth storage. If you are buying larger gear, most vendors will allow you to leave it in the booth until you head home. My friends tease me that I must have everything on my boat already, but the truth is, there are a lot of amazing products and ideas out there that I haven't heard of yet! On the macro level, I think marine professionals and companies should be rewarded for ingenious ideas. See you at the show!

• Boating BC will be offering free 30-minute power and sailboat rides, but you have to sign up early at the entrance to the floating show. • If you are looking for some onboard cooking ideas, visit the Dockside Grill on the main floor food court at BC Place. Learn from seasoned chefs how to create big tastes in small spaces, perfect for boaters. • Check out the DIY Garage and Ask An Expert all of your boating service, maintenance, and technical questions. • The New Product Showcase features items that are at the show for the first time. Vendors who have brand new products have a big red balloon in their booth. • Are you heading down after work? There are $5 tickets after 1700 hours, Wednesday through Saturday. • Don't forget the Kids Zone with paddleboats and arts & crafts. • If you are looking for a quick and inexpensive lunch, Costco is across the street.

THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST CULTURE AQUATIC HAVE SPOKEN. BEHOLD, YOUR 2019 NORTHWEST MARINE CHAMPIONS! BY N W Y S TA F F

I’ll be honest, when we started the Northwest Marine Champion Award series last year, the task was daunting. The intimidation factor did not come from any concern of how to find marine professionals of the Pacific Northwest or whether there was enough of them. Quite the opposite; we live in a vibrant community of hardworking experts who stop at nothing with their inspiring careers to build up our entire world. How could we possibly select the worthiest from this ace selection? Fortunately, by opening the awards to public nominations as we have the last two years, we’ve maintained a democratic element to these recipients. You all have spoken, and the following six marine champions now get some much-deserved recognition thanks to the time you all took to nominate them. Well done! You’ll notice that we culled down the awards this year to six of the more bedrock categories. While it was fun to give out tongue and cheek categories last year, the focus to important categories like Terrific Boatyard Professional and Exemplary Marina Manager struck us as appropriate. So, raise a glass to these magnificent six! Also, stay tuned later in the year for when we open nominations for the 2020 recipients. We’re eager to hear your pitch for future marine champions.

Ivaylo Minkov They say not all heroes wear capes, and boatyard professionals are such types, performing feats every day without a fuss. The best of them tend to be friendly, humble professionals who believe in honest business practices and have vast amounts of maritime knowledge gleaned from decades of yard work. Northwest Yachting is happy to give Ivaylo Minkov of Canal Boatyard the award for Terrific Boatyard Professional this year. According to people who know him, he is as helpful now as he was decades ago when many other successful boatyard professionals were just getting their starts. He immigrated to the U.S. from Bulgaria. Last year’s Terrific Boatyard Professional marine champion winner, Nigel Barron of CSR Marine, had this to say about Minkov, “We used to go to Canal Boatyard to pull tall masts. He runs a nice clean yard and is an asset to the industry.” Minkov is the guy the pros think is a pro.

Lindhout also started the Marina Forum, a monthly meeting with a select group of tenants. The group represents a variety of marina user types who keep the marina in-

It’s no secret that the marine industry and trades have a need for more young blood. We can keep producing new technology, investing in our waterfronts, and go boating every day, but if we can’t get together a strong workforce, we’re dead in the water.

Winter (Vashon) is Here Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Doug Hansen & Jan Anderson On December 7, the South Sound Sailing Club hosted the first race of its annual winter sailing series out of Tacoma Yacht Club. Winter Vashon invites handicap keel boats south for a medium format race around one of King County’s most beloved but misunderstood islands. The course is simple, Vashon Island to starboard with a mark set off the north end to keep the fleet away from the ferry dock. Being the last race of the year for most of the Pacific Northwest sailing community, the race tends to attract a decent fleet of people who are stubbornly holding onto summer vibes all the way to the end. This year’s fleet was separated into nine classes, ranging from

the non-flying sails cruising fleet on up to PHRF big boat fleet boasting two TP52s and the venerable RP55 Crossfire at the top of the list. After a short delay due to the start mark dragging in the current, the racing got underway in a less than exciting manner. The start followed the now routine reverse sequence, in which the slowest boats start first in the hopes that everyone can get back to the bar at a reasonable hour. This system works well for its intended purpose, but can make for some excitement as larger and faster boats are forced to work their way through the slower fleets. Drooping spinnakers and strong currents spelled disaster for some boats even before they had a chance to race. They were

swept past the start line before their start, then forced to sail in nearly no wind against the current as they attempted to get onto the proper side of the start line. Onboard Charlie Macaulay’s Farr39 Absolutely, we got things going with a slow start at the buoy end of the line to avoid the inevitable pile-up and dirty air that comes with winning the boat end. Trying to maximize our light air performance, we had over half of the crew on the bow hiking to leeward to get as much of the boat out of the water as possible. Much of the fl eet headed for the Point Defiance beach to maximize the current push toward Colvos Passage. In a nearly comical scene, the entire fleet drifted at incredibly lack-

Top: It was slow going at the Winter Vashon race this year, but determined boats like Sonic (the only TP52 to stick it out) made it across the shortened course finish line. Bottom, left to right: Limp spinnakers and glassy waters were the theme of Winter Vashon this year; the starting line piled up in low winds. Hot buttered rum kept some crews in the game for the long day ahead.

luster speed all within shouting distance as two dogs on opposing shorelines barked back and forth. We were working hard to stay on the inside of the turn into Colvos Passage, without getting into the counter current off the south end of the island, and it paid off as a slight zephyr came from the south and spinnakers began to fill. It was short lived and within a few minutes, we were changing to the drifter and began looking for the next puff. Things continued much the same for the bulk of the day with the occasional boat heading home. While we discussed the idea of packing it in, every time we nearly did, the breeze swirled and we found ourselves moving along in the front of the pack.

Results: 2019 Winter Vashon Commodore FS

Just after noon as the rain began to fall, in what may have been a moment of genius, the two fastest boats on the course dropped their sails and headed to the bar, leaving many of us wondering what we are doing with ourselves out on the water. But once again, the wind began to fill and distract us from reality. The battle continued into evening without much in the way of change, and if it wasn’t for the hot buttered rums coming up from down below, we would have had a significantly different experience. Marek Omilian and his team onboard Sonic, the remaining TP52, crossed the shortened course line just after sunset and was quickly followed by Ben Glass on board Ocelot. We were third across the line after a closely fought battle and were somehow able to take home the win for what was easily one of the longest trips to a shortened course finish that I can remember. Twenty of the 48 boats who started the day got to the halfway point with at least one boat heartbreakingly getting swept passed the finish by the current after a hard-fought day of controlled drifting. The Southern Sound Series continues January 11 with the Duwamish Head Race hosted by Three Point Yacht Club of Des Moines. Being the closest race to Seattle and the first race of the year, the event normally attracts a solid attendance and is always a fun time on the dock as everyone sports their new gear that they received from concerned family members for the holidays. Following the annual sailor fashion show, the fleet will head south to Olympia for one of the best kept secrets of South Sound racing—Toliva Shoal Race. Be sure to keep looking here for the latest updates on the Pacific Northwest racing scene as we move into the new year. The year of 2020 is sure to be an interesting one.
