Sailboats with foils aren't entirely new, but they are becoming increasingly common with production designs and continuing to evolve on high-profile race circuits. Racing contributor Doug Hansen takes a look at the fast-paced world of flying sailboats.

March means gray whales will be passing through, and local spots like Saratoga Passage should be thick with them. These oddballs of the whale world are as connected to the Pacific Northwest as craft beer and mountain views.

P RTS OF CALL Port Moody, British Columbia

We explore diverse Port Moody, an artsy city with a frontier industry past. If boaters want a slice of civilization a short cruise removed from bustling Vancouver, this could do nicely.

VOLUME 32, No. 9

We're pleased to offer our inaugural B.C. marina guide! Take the guide with you on your adventures this cruising season. Note that this covers Vancouver Island, including the Gulf Islands and the Inside Passage.

Gilles Martin-Raget || Martin-Raget.com

When your boat looks good, you feel good! Boat detailing is a whole profession unto itself. We turn to Tammara Dinkins of Splash N' Detail to get a professional's insight into what it takes for a boat to look its best.

To complement our feature about flying sailboats, we chose this action shot of a Beneteau Figaro 3 underway, captured by Gilles Martin-Raget. This new production sailboat may represent the future of local sailing clubs everywhere.

We Are Our Boats

I don’t know about you, but the last month has been a whirlwind for this sailorturned-editor. In February alone, I found myself at the Seatt le Boat Show (January 26 to February 2), Vancouver International Boat Show Norris Comer (February 6 to 10), Spokane Boat Show (February 1 to 9), and the Miami International Boat Show (February 14 to 18). Help, I think I need an intervention! When reﬂected upon as a singular experience, the month seems like a grand tour of the North American continent with every event showcasing the nautical identity of the host location. In my opinion, the boats plying past are every bit part of a place’s culture as its food, music, or customs. What is Venice without gondolas or The Big Muddy without a few classic riverboats. The Nile without the ancient dhow? They would be but cheap imitations of their true selves, that’s what! Likewise, the many well-found motortrawlers and family trip-oriented tugboats of both the Seattle and Vancouver, Britsh Columbia. shows say a lot about our waters and the promises of wild Alaskan cruising grounds. At the Spokane Boat Show, the nearby idyllic lakes like Coeur d’Alene and Pend Oreille translated to plenty of fast riverboats and luxury pontoon boats that can be popped on and oﬀ the trailer

with ease. The opulent yachts of Miami, so open to the elements and sometimes with six giant outboards on the transom, speak to a carefree people more likely to soak up the sun than take shelter from an incoming storm. Perhaps the Pacific Northwest native peoples are onto something when they carve the likeliness of living things on their iconic canoes. According to the Bill Reid Centre of the Simon Fraser University in Canada, the canoe is “the single most important physical manifestation of Northwest Coast culture.” Do we define culture, or does culture define us? Likewise, do we define our boats, or do they define us? Perhaps this is a situation not unlike the chicken and the egg conundrum. On one hand, we build our boats that are suited to our environment and demands, but on the other hand, do the qualities of our creations form who we are as well? Alas, I have more questions than answers as I nurse a whiskey and daydream of the aquatic adventures to come. One thing I do know is that the Opening Day of spring draws nearer and the summer calendar, once untouched, fills with more boaty schemes by the day. I hope that your 2019 calendar is also blessed with memorymaking, on-water adventures. In the meanwhile, March means gray whales feeding off Whidbey Island and snowcapped Olympic mountain cruising backdrops. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Tacoma and Ruston Renewed Is Tacoma and Ruston’s refreshed waterfront the best in the Sound? By Norris Comer

The new Ruston and Tacoma waterfront is shaping up to be a boat friendly highlight of South Puget Sound thanks to public investment, private development, and the activity lineup of the long-established Tacoma Yacht Club. The major makeover, which we first wrote about back in March 2017, seeks to completely transform the Point Ruston area. While progress has been slower than anticipated, it looks like this summer should finally see the amenities opened to the public. Thanks to boat friendly docking options at the Point Defiance public boat launch and Anthony’s Restaurant at Point Defiance right in the middle of it all, this should be a refreshed bright spot for boaters and the general public. The $60-million investment project from Tacoma Metro Park and the EPA is nearing completion on the point itself, converting the 11-acre barren ASARCO Superfund slag dump into a grassy waterfront com-

plete with groves of trees, walking/biking trails, and even an amphitheater. I visited the location late February (2019), and while still fenced off due to construction, it was already green and inviting. On February 12, the Park Board approved the name to Dune Peninsula at Point Defiance Park in honor of local sci-fi author Frank Herbert, who wrote the Dune series. The trial on-site is also being named the Frank Herbert Trail. Clearly, the spice must flow. An innovative public art piece by artist Adam Kuby has also been commissioned for the park. Called Alluvion, the signature piece is a series of deconstructed smokestacks, both an homage to the area’s industrial heritage and indictment of the past’s treatment of the environment. Also notable the planned expanded parking for the boat ramp and the new trail connection for pedestrians and bicyclists to and from Point Defiance Park (with zoo, view-

points, and Fort Nisqually) and downtown Tacoma. Hopefully these improvements will be open and ready for use this summer as well. In addition to these impressive public works, the private sector is staying busy. The Point Ruston development area southward is virtually booming with new businesses aimed at visitors, including a six-story Silver Cloud hotel under construction. A slew of new bars, restaurants, a movie theater, and more are a short walk down the trail. Tacoma Yacht Club, tucked in a premium spot at the tip of the Dune Peninsula at Point Defiance Park, is also leading the revitalization of the area with an active lineup of events. March 24 is their annual public Open House from 1400 to 1600 hours, featuring samples from their excellent head chef. April 14 is their storied Daffodil Boat Parade that travels along the Ruston Waterway, a mustexperience, flower-themed, pre-Opening Day celebration. The club is even throwing a car and motorcycle show with marine swap meet on June 15 that’s open to all. If you have any questions about getting involved in the fun, simply reach out to Marsha Baker, the Tacoma Yacht Club Membership Chair, at (253) 653-3118. Keep your eye on this area and check it out this summer if you get the chance. A revitalized waterfront is the gem of a community. We show our support for such efforts whenever we decide to visit, participate, and support local economies with our dollars. Way to turn it around, Tacoma and Ruston!

Boating BC Launches Vessel Disposal Campaign By Eva Seelye

Owning a vessel comes with a lot of responsibilities, there’s no doubt about that. Boats require a lot of tender love and care throughout every stage of their life, all the way until she’s hauled out for the last time and disposed of correctly, yet that last step is often abandoned. Unfortunately, some vessels are left derelict. Derelict vessels are not only exceptionally ugly in most cases, but they can also pose navigational and environmental threats and even safety risks. Boating BC supports the assessment, removal, and disposal of abandoned boats in Canadian waters, and has created the Abandoned Boats Education

Awareness Campaign as an “opportunity to educate recreational boaters and the recreational boating industry and increase awareness of the responsibility to manage their vessel through to the end of its life,” explains Association President Don Prittie. The three-year Awareness Campaign will include radio, print, web-based, and social media content and will be leveraged through municipal and industry gatherings. Abandoned boats can leak toxins, putting marine life and their habitats at risk as well as possibly harming beachgoers and aﬀecting waterfront businesses

and local economies. “We know the vast majority of boaters are responsible, but not all – and we need to ensure this issue is not a recurring one,” Prittie continues. “Step one is educating and holding boat owners accountable for their vessels and ensuring they know how and where they can dispose of them.” If you have a vessel nearing the end of its life that will soon need to be disposed of, visit boatingbc.ca/boatdisposal to discover local boat disposal services and browse frequently asked questions to get you going in a safe direction.

Power, sail, dinghy, kayak; no matter the vessel you own and operate, every watery adventure could use a solid blade – and a sharp one at that - to ensure you’re prepared for the unknown. The “King of Cutlery,” Alex Moro, will teach you his blade sharpening trade secrets, perfected by a lifetime of experience, at The Artful Sailor’s Blade Sharpening Workshop. Moro learned his practical knowledge from many mentors over the years and he hopes to share this tradition with the community. He opened Al’s Blade Service a little over eight years ago to serve the public and local businesses in the area. Hosted by the Artful Sailor Whole Earth Nautical Supply, the three-hour workshop will be held in Port Townsend, Washington, at the Artful Sailor and will start promptly

Alex Moro

at 0900 hours on Saturday, March 2, 2019. Participants are urged to bring their own blades, shears, and whetstones to sharpen their skills. Sailor’s sheath knives, jack knives, sailmaker’s scissors, and the Norton 1000/4000 Japanesestyle combination water stones, Alex Moro’s preferred sharpening stone, will all be available for purchase. Tuition is $40 a person with a max capacity of 12 adults. Act fast! Email theartfulsailor@gmail.com or call (360) 344-8120 to reserve a seat.

Kitsap's Hybrid Ferry First

By Peter Marsh

If you ever read a national sailing magazine, you’ll ﬁnd they regularly feature stories about cruising catamarans, both power and sail, and their popularity for chartering in the Caribbean and the southern states. But you won’t ﬁnd too many of them in marinas in the Northwest or in the pages of Northwest Yachting— extra-wide moorage space being in short supply here. There’s also not enough hot weather to enjoy much sunbathing on the trampoline or cocktails on the spacious decks. But when it comes to

catamaran ferries, Washington’s boat builders lead the nation! Operators in Hawaii, California, and Alaska rely on our experienced commercial yards to provide them with the latest fast ferry designs from the world’s leading naval architects. During 2018-19, the San Francisco ferry system known as WETA (Water Emergency Transit Agency) is purchasing eight big, aluminum catamarans from 130-150’ long from three Washington yards who all have a relationship with diﬀerent naval architects

in Australia and New Zealand that specialize in catamarans. This is an important part of our marine economy, which I like to follow as well as I can. But there’s a small problem if you want to keep up with this booming business: as soon as these amazing new boats and their ultra-clean diesel engines have passed their sea trials, they immediately depart for their distant homeports and are never seen again. That makes it next to impossible for me to see them in operation; and getting a ride is out of the question. My best chance of getting a ride on any of these boats is to go to San Francisco Bay and buy a ticket! If I do, I’ll certainly try to write about it. Luckily, the latest catamaran delivery on the Salish Sound is the exception to this rule. It was designed and built in Washington for Kitsap County, speciﬁcally to run on the short inshore route on Sinclair Inlet between Bremerton, Port Orchard, and Annapolis. (For those of you who aren’t familiar with these waters, this is on the west side of Puget Sound--opposite Seattle.) It is 70′ x 26′, carries 150 passengers, and

is powered by the latest hybrid technology, combining a battery bank and a small, clean diesel. It is appropriately called Waterman—named after the pioneer settler Delos Waterman, and the small community of Waterman (near Bremerton). In the early 1920s, its dock served as a pickup and drop-off point for Mosquito fleet steamers, according to the Kitsap County Historical Society. It was launched at All American Marine in Bellingham on February 5—a sunny day just before the snowstorm hit. That was just luck of course, but the decision to make this vessel the first hybrid catamaran ferry of its type in the USA was the result of a great deal of discussion and analysis by Kitsap County and Glosten naval architects in Seattle. This will undoubtedly give it a high profile in the international effort to reduce the carbon footprint of ferries along with buses and commuter trains. Coincidentally, the boat’s propulsion system is descended from a hybrid bus. The BAE HybriDrive propulsion system at the heart of the boat is based on a proven technology used in over 10,000 transit buses operating across the globe. “Toronto recently purchased 255 of our next generation electric drive systems, joining cities such as San Francisco, Boston, London, and Paris,” said a manager for BAE’s Power & Propulsion Systems. Like the bus, the marine version consists of a diesel generator, propulsion power converter, lithium-ion battery bank, and twin propellers—all controlled by a very smart computer programmed to respond to the

Waterman, now sailing, was built in Washington as the state's first fully operational diesel-electric hybrid passenger ferry. History in the making!

changing demands of a specific ferry route. “We are proud to bring this proven technology to the marine sector to reap the benefits of fuel savings and quiet, clean travel,” says BAE. The Waterman will also operate almost silently while under battery power when maneuvering and docking. “The vessel will operate like a Prius – no more diesel exhaust and noise while passengers load and unload,” said Glosten project manager William Moon. Like a hybrid car, the ferry’s engine will have lower operating hours and the drive line has fewer parts, resulting in savings in fuel and maintenance costs. Glosten worked closely with Kitsap Transit to create a design suited to Sinclair Inlet, but flexible enough to meet future needs. Passenger comforts were important and include a variety of passenger spaces with lots of natural light, a unique ADAaccessible bow, and a spacious passenger cabin and sun deck. “We are proud to build advanced hybrid-electric vessels such as the Waterman and work with our visionary partners to develop and construct the boat of the future,” said Matt Mullett, All American’s president and CEO. “All American is at the forefront of the de-carbonization movement in the maritime industry, and the lithium-ion hybrid electric propulsion system on the Waterman is another example of our progress.” “We are confident that this new addition to our fleet will serve the people of the Puget Sound region for many years to come,” said Kitsap Transit Executive Director John Clauson. This new design is Coast Guard-certified as a “Subchapter T, hybridelectric passenger vessel,” and is likely to represent the trend toward greater environmental stewardship for short-haul ferries all over the U.S.A.

Coast Guard Corner

Alert Returns By Evin Moore

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Alert returned to her home port of Astoria, Oregon, on February 1. The Alert returns after completing a 60-day patrol of the Paciﬁc Ocean, in which her crew seized $83 million worth of cocaine from smugglers. The U.S. Navy, Customs and Border Protection, and the Coast Guard’s aircrews provided reconnaissance and air support for the interdiction operations. Crew members of the Alert seized a total of 5,700 pounds of cocaine, two drugsmuggling vessels, and seven suspected drug-traffickers as part of the Joint Interagency Task Force-South. “Coast Guard men and women operating under Joint Interagency Task Force-South, a U.S. Southern Command com-

ponent, use military hardware and law enforcement authority to interdict smuggling vessels and bring the suspects to justice,” said Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Karl Schultz in a press release. “This disrupts key funding sources for these dangerous criminal networks and diminishes their inﬂuence in the Western Hemisphere. Aviation forces from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs & Border Protection, and others all support this crucial eﬀort.” To assist in drug interdiction operations, a Coast Guard Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron aircrew and an MH-65 dolphin helicopter from Jacksonville, Florida, were deployed aboard Alert throughout the

duration of her patrol. Primarily used to support the cutter’s boarding teams during raids, the helicopter pilots also helped train Alert crew members in launching and landing helicopters from the moving cutter. Alert has been on patrol since early December, and crew members have missed spending the holiday season with their families. “We are fortunate to have such a high-spirited crew, happily celebrating Christmas and New Year’s Eve together, at sea for 32 days between liberty stops,” said Cmdr. Tobias Reid, Alert’s commanding officer. The crew received a call from the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard, Jason M. Vanderhaden, wishing them well. “Between the holidays, two very interesting smuggling

cases and our equator-crossing ceremony, we had a very full and satisfying patrol. But, above all, we are thankful for the incredible generosity from the Astoria, Warrenton/Hammond, and Seaside communities who provide such tremendous support to our families while we were on patrol.” Alert was commissioned in 1969 and is one of fourteen 210’ cutters still in service, and one of three reliance-class cutters on the West Coast. Besides Alert’s drug interdiction eﬀorts, her crew also carries out search and rescue operations, and environmental protection missions. Welcome home, Alert!

Seattle Sail & Power Squadron Hosts Classes

By Eva Seelye

The non-profit boating education organization, Seattle Sailing & Power Squadron, has a great lineup for boating classes this March. If you’re new to the on-water lifestyle, learn a few things from the get-go at their America’s Boating Course. This two-day course on March 2 and March 9 walks you through the basics. From boat handling, safety considerations, federal and state requirements to nautical rules of the road, this class covers it all to ensure you have a smooth and safe introduction to boating. The completion of this course also gets you a Washington State Boater Education Card, which is now required for most boaters. Win, win! It’s $55 per student. If you’re a boater wanting to venture into new waters or a non-boater looking to acquire some useful on-water skills, consider taking the Boat Handling Course. This course will offer you the knowhow to handle your vessel safely in unpredictable situations onboard and allow you to confidently pilot any boat. It’s a replacement for the Seamanship course. Two 6-hour sessions will cover the Rules of the Road, Confidence in Docking and Undocking, Slow Speed Maneuvering, Boating with Confidence, Handling Your Boat Underway, Anchoring with Assurance, Don’t Get Carried Away, Emergencies on Board, Preparation for Handling Common Problems, Knots and Line Handling, and the Knots You Need to Know. Classes start on March 19 and continue every Tuesday from 1800 to 2000 hours for six weeks at $60 a person for Squadron members and $110 for non-members. Lastly, the Piloting Course, beginning March 21, is the first sequence of USPS courses on navigation. This piloting course covers inland and coastal navigation, focusing heavily on recreational navigation with GPS as well as traditional navigation techniques in the event a GPS fails. Expect to participate in hands-on learning and in-class exercises.

Participants will learn charting, navigation aids, plotting courses and determining direction and distance, converting between True and Magnetic on a mariner’s compass, GPS, pre-planning safe courses, monitoring progress and determining position, and developing the “Seaman’s Eye.” Two-hour sessions from 1800 to

2000 hours will take place every Thursday for ten total Piloting Course classes. It costs $75 for the text for squadron members, plus $6 for the plotter and $11 for the dividers if needed. Non-members will add an additional $50 to the total cost. All classes will be held at the First United Methodist Church in Oak Harbor.

Cocktail of the Month

Mistress Ada Bean By Bill Shaw

During the decades of the Roche Harbor Lime and Cement history, between 1886 and 1944, John S. McMillin had a robust business and two ﬁne sons eager to take over when their controlling father was ready to retire. Fred, McMillin’s oldest son and heir apparent was well liked in the tiny mining town. McMillin’s bookkeeper was Ada Bean, a woman in her early thirties that

kept to herself most of the time and was considered by the town folk to be a spinster. It was not uncommon to see her working late into the night in the tiny office located in the top floor of the McMillin’s estate, now the resort's Executive Room. On one of these late nights, angry voices could be heard coming from the office balcony, and the townspeople could make

out the voice of a man. The next morning Ada was found dead by one of the house servants. She had hanged herself from the chandelier. The company physician, Doc Capron, was urgently called to the office by McMillin and upon examination, the shocking discovery of Ada’s hidden pregnancy was revealed. Soon after her burial, a sound of a baby crying was heard coming from McMillin’s office and the rumors of a ghost that people swore was the late Ada Bean. Rumors quckly spreading about the identity of the angry male voice. McMillin, concerned by falling morale and loss of production, worked to staunch the rumors, but they continued until one sober morning when Fred confessed to his father that the voice heard that ill-fated night was his, and the fight that ensued was over Ada’s pregnancy with his child. McMillin agreed to bury his unborn grandchild in the family mausoleum, and shortly after the sounds of baby crying ceased. Fred died a few years later of unknown cause, and John S. McMillin never recovered from the incident. Ada is still seen haunting the resort during the late evenings and enjoys playing tricks on the guests that stay in the hotel.

needs dredging; large vessels often wish to attend the events but cannot reach the marina. Rathkopf also noted that the race organizers wanted to grow in order to oﬀer the best race experience on the West Coast and attract sailors from all over the U.S. and Canada. To do that, the event must take place in a location with deep water and a full-service marina. “Unfortunately, that is not in Oak Harbor” said Rathkopf. “The marina is owned by a tenant association (not the City of Oak Harbor) and the costs for the needed repairs and dredging is just too cost prohibitive.” The City of Oak Harbor recently hired Blaine Oborn as the new City Administrator and Oborn is working closely with

Change is in the air for the local sailing mainstay, Whidbey Island Race Week. The 37th edition of the event this year will feature all the usual races, kid’s camp, and nightly parties with live music. In most ways, the ﬁve-day sailing event will be the same one local sailors have been looking forward to since the ‘80s. Unfortunately, this will also be the last Race Week held at Oak Harbor, at least for the foreseeable future. Current race owner and producer Schelleen Rathkopf stated in a press release the decision was based, among other reasons, that the only lift in Oak Harbor Marina has been broken for two years with no plans to repair or replace it anytime soon. Additionally, the channel that leads to the marina

Oak Harbor Harbormaster Chris Sublet to explore future upgrades to the marina, possibly funded with grants. However, long-term planning wouldn’t begin until 2024, meaning Oak Harbor won’t be suitable for quite some time. Starting in 2020, Race Week will be held in a new location to be announced soon. To appeal to PHRF and OD ﬂeets from both the U.S. and Canada, the new location may be farther north than Oak Harbor, Rathkopf said. The new location will provide deep water, eﬃcient services, reliable winds, and scenic locations for racers and hopefully, be better suited for a growing event. “We are all going to miss Whidbey Island. My hope is that you will recognize that a change

was necessary and that you approach a new venue with an open mind. I will do everything I can to make the transition as swift and enticing as possible,” said Rathkopf. In the meantime, Rathkopf is asking that racers share a special memory or favorite picture with her at schelleen@rathkopf.org to be compiled into a commemorative book and shared at this year’s awards ceremony. Participants of Race Week should stay tuned for any further developments and the announcement of the new race location, maybe as early as this spring.

Boat Show Breakdown: Seattle and Vancouver By Evin Moore

All trademarks mentioned are owned by, or licensed to, the AkzoNobel group of companies. © AkzoNobel 2019.

Representatives of both the Vancouver International Boat Show (February 6 to 10) and Seattle Boat Show (January 26 to February 3) have released attendance data. Overall, the Seattle Boat Show attendance data depicted a decline this year. The attendance of the on-water portion of the Vancouver show was also down slightly, but organizers are conﬁdent that the numbers are due to weather and traﬃc conditions, and they remain optimistic about the growth of boating in the Northwest this year.

9688/0119

28 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MARCH 2019

The net attendance at the Seattle show was 49,595, down about 6.3 percent from 2018. Organizers cited the closing of SR-99, also known as the Alaska Way Viaduct, as a major factor in the attendance reduction. The Viaduct was responsible for 100,000 vehicles a day and its closure coincided with the show. Organizers felt that the show was still a success overall even with the highway closure. At the Vancouver International Boat Show, overall attendance

was comparable to last year except for Sunday’s ﬂoating show, which had to close due to excessive snowfall. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, numbers were comparable to last year’s ﬂoating show. Snowy weather caused hazardous driving conditions through mountain passes and high winds stopped ferry services from Vancouver Island to downtown Vancouver, further reducing possible attendance. “Despite unprecedented winds, weekend snowfall, and

challenging road conditions, the crowd turnout was favorable; and B.C.’s recreational marine dealers and service providers are cautiously optimistic in advance of the fast-approaching boating season,” said Show Manager Eric Nicholl.“ "By most accounts, exhibitors were greeted by serious buyers, and initial feedback from key markets throughout the Province suggests this year will be relatively stable,” Nicholl continued.

Wagner Education Center Grand Opening By Evin Moore

The Center for Wooden Boats (CWB) recently completed the new Wagner Education Center, which previously operated for 40 years out of the CWB boathouse on the shores of South Lake Union. The 9,200-square-foot center, named for CWB founders Dick and Colleen Wagner, will house classrooms, a sail loft, event space, a gallery, and a boat shop for maintenance and new construction projects. The center was designed by the renowned Seattle architecture ﬁrm

Olson Kundig, taking inspiration from the energy wooden boats harness from the wind and sun. The movable exterior shading system minimizes solar hear gain in the summer and maximizes it in the winter. The building’s large doors, windows, and skylights will let in wind to cool the building in hot months. Reducing the Wagner Center’s energy bill even further are 135 photovoltaic panels mounted on the roof. “The Center for Wooden Boats has played a critical role in educat-

ing the public not just about boats, but about the value of craft and the forces of nature that surround us,” said designer Tom Kundig. The CWB is inviting the public to join them in celebrating the completion of the new center with a weekend celebration March 2324 that will include free boat rides in steamboats, schooners, ketches, yawls, and other historic boats. Visitors can also watch Saaduuts Robert Peele, canoe carver and member of the Haida tribe, carve a traditional canoe all weekend

long. Kids, aged three to nine, can build toy boats and decorate paddles. The CWB collection of classic wooden yachts will be open and available for the public to tour. “The Wagner Education Center is a stunning new building that connects the region’s maritime heritage with the fast-moving present,” said Brandt Faatz, executive director of the CWB. “We’re a hands-on maritime museum. We encourage people to come down and touch the artifacts, to learn about history, and to learn skills by becoming part of the place.” The celebration is free and will take place at the Center for Wooden Boats on Saturday, March 23, and Sunday, March 24, from 1000 hours to 1700 hours. The ribbon cutting ceremony is at 1000 hours on Saturday. You can learn more at cwb.org.

es t o N s s e n i s Bu Port of Bellingham and Lummi Nation Reach Agreement By Evin Moore

The Port of Bellingham and the Lummi Nation recently reached an agreement regarding a long-standing issue around ﬁshing rights and modiﬁcations made to Bellingham Bay and Drayton Harbor.

The disagreement dates back about 100 years when settlers began dredging and armoring tidelands around Bellingham Bay for commercial development. This damaged finfish and

shellfish habitats and blocked the Lummi from using some of their traditional fishing grounds. These activities violated the Point Elliott Treaty that the Lummi Nation signed with

the federal government in 1855. While the modern Port of Bellingham did not exist when the treaty was breached, the Port now owns and operates areas where these violations occurred. Rather than taking the matter to court, the Port and Lummi Nation worked together to create a deal that was satisfactory to both parties. The new agreement allows the Port to modernize its inwater facilities in exchange for providing moorage in Squalicum and Blaine Harbor for the Lummi fishing fleet. Representatives of the Lummi Nation feel that the new agreement reflects the intention of their past leaders, who emphasized sustainability and passing resources down to future generations. It also recognizes the Lummi as a fishing nation that has lived on the shores of Puget Sound before recorded history. Today the Lummi Nation has the largest native commercial fishing fleet in the country. The modernization will bring beneﬁts to the Port of Bellingham; Squalicum Harbor and Blaine Harbor are home to 2,000 commercial and recreational vessels, and marine trade jobs number 6,000 in the county. The updates to the Port should improve infrastructure and promote economic growth for the county. Both the Port and Lummi Nation are optimistic that the agreement could be the start of a new era of cooperation.

By Evin Moore

Seattle Yachts, a yacht brokerage and dealer of new boats with oﬃces in every state on the West Coast as well as Florida and Western Canada, has announced a new agreement with Legacy Yachts. Seattle Yachts will now be the exclusive dealer of the Legacy 32, 36, and 42 in both Florida and California. “Legacy Yachts are an exceptionally well-built Downeast yacht that ﬁts perfectly with the other new brands we carry,” said Peter Whiting, managing partner of Seattle Yachts. “The popularity of the classic Downeaster combined with the cutting-edge construction and materials at the

Tartan factory, we believe, will be a winning combination in our markets.” Legacy Yachts is owned by Tartan Yachts and are manufactured at Tartan’s factory in Fairport Harbor, Ohio. “One of my primary goals at Tartan and Legacy Yachts has been to solve the quandary of the proper dealership arrangement on the West Coast of the U.S., Canada, and the important Florida market,” said Michael Tamulaites, marketing & sales director for Legacy. “With Seattle Yachts expansion into Palm Beach and San Diego, we now have the perfect partner in these vital markets.”

Following Seattle Yachts’ first East Coast office opening in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2018, the locally established boat dealer and brokerage firm announced their acquisition of Cabrillo Yacht Sales in San Diego. Both companies sell Northwest and Tayana boat brands, making it “a natural fit,” explains Seattle Yachts’ Managing Partner Peter Whiting. “Cabrillo’s location, which is on America’s Cup Harbor on N. Harbor Drive in San Diego, gives us penetration into a market where we already know our customers are either in or cruising to as a destination,” he continues.

Now, not only does Seattle Yachts have a presence in Seattle, the San Juan Islands, and Anacortes, but their firm stretches across the United States to Palm Beach and across the ocean to the Philippines. Dan Peter, previous owner of Cabrillo Yachts and now Managing Broker in the San Diego Seattle Yachts’ office, is excited to be a part of the team and to have access to additional brands like Nimbus, Alaskan, Whitehaven, and more. “Additionally,” he explains, “we are excited to take advantage of Seattle Yachts’ marketing efforts which are among the best in the industry.”

Fleming 58 The newest of its family (first delivered to the West Coast in 2017), the Fleming 58’s production continues into 2019 with new orders. Billed as the bridge between the 55’ and 65’ models and an entirely new boat design, the Fleming 58 is becoming a more common sight at the Pacific Northwest boat shows and our marinas. What’s the story? First, context. Founder Tony Fleming is one of those Pacific Northwest-related boating icons, serving as the technical director of American Marine in Hong Kong in 1961 to 1983, when that company was building Grand Banks during the storied line’s golden years. Fleming also helped develop the Alaskan series of pilothouse motoryachts, notably being revived by Seattle Yachts with the launch of a new Alaskan Yachts 66 MKII. Fleming ultimately teamed up with business partner Anton Emmerton and naval architect Larry Drake in 1983 to produce the first Fleming 55. Decades

34 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MARCH 2019

passed with growing success, ultimately leading to Fleming’s own semi-famous 65’ Fleming yacht Venture. In a stroke of marketing genius, he cruised Venture on an epic 40,000-mile public relations adventure through British Columbia, Alaska, Mexico, the Galapagos Islands, Panama Canal, and up the East Coast. Venture is still out there, often cruising some beautiful stretch of water as living proof of what a Fleming can do. This all leads into the creation of the new 58, which retains the brand’s recognizable lines: elegant clipper bows, generous ﬂare, and dropping sheerline. While touted as a complete redesign, the 58 still feels very much like a Fleming with wide side decks, the open ﬂybridge with dinghy davit, and berth layout options. There are two basic accommodation options, but both feature at least three staterooms and two enclosed heads. As far as the guts are concerned, the Fleming 58 is powered twin MAN i6800 (both 800 hp; a 500 hp version is

also available) inboard diesel engines. Reportedly, its sweet spot is at a fuel eﬃcient 8 to 10 knots while maximum speeds get to nearly 20 knots. Notably, Flemings are rated with the coveted CE Ocean Category A certiﬁcation for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind force eight on the Beaufort scale. The 58 is built to make steady, unrelenting cruising progress. All this proven heritage and yacht quality is certainly not cheap. The base price is about $3,370,000 new from local dealer Chuck Hovey Yachts.

New & Notable Boats

Four Winns Horizon 290 Four Winns is a familiar name when it comes to fast and fun outboard-po sport boats that’d fit right into the summer time scene on Lake Washington. Right away, an observer will notice the build’s prominent features. Firstly, it’s important to note that there are both inboard and outboard (OB) options. As far as the OB model is concerned, either the twin Mercury 250- or 300-horsepower engines are mounted onto a large swim step off the transom. The standard inboard options include single and twin Volvo Penta and single and twin Mercruiser diesels. Aft and forward facing bench-style seating are oriented back-to-back in the cockpit. There’s an open galley and captain and cocaptain chairs near the helm. Go forward past the helm and through a walkway and you end up at a nicely settled foredeck with cushioned seats.

While not apparent at first glance, there’s even a changing room with berth and enclosed Vacuflush head below that make this a natural island hopper. A transom shower will also be put to good use on those extended trips. The overall styling is very sleek and modern, and the buyer

has several custom options to make their 290 their own. If versatility and good times are the goal, the Four Winns Horizon 290 is probably worth a look. Local dealer Marine Servicenter has brand-new outboard models in stock starting from $203,846.

Princess F55 We have a royal visitor this month straight from Plymouth, England—the Princess F55, an ultra-modern luxury yacht that is unapologetically high class with an emphasis on accommodating in style. Lauded by many in the industry as a gold standard bearer, the F55 continues the Princess tradition of pampered living on the water. There’s plenty of information to glean at ﬁrst glance. Hardtops are in right now and the prominent hardtop on the F55 shelters the ﬂybridge. Don’t look for a dinghy davit up there, for it’s all about the helm and entertainment space (complete with minibar). The main deck has many of the trendy accoutrements: a huge swim step; giant, padded sun lounge at the foredeck; and an open interior layout with salon, galley, and helm made for the socialite crowd who are excited to be aboard.

Interestingly, there is a small crew quarters stealthily integrated into the transom. You don’t see too many crew-oriented accommodations on yachts less than 60’ overall, but hey, we’re dealing with a princess here. Accommodations for the guests include three staterooms and two fully enclosed heads. The F55 comes with twin Volvo D13-800 (800 horsepower each) inboard diesel en-

gines. The manufacturer reports maximum speeds of around 30 to 32 knots, quite zippy for a luxury yacht like this. The Princess F55 is about as nice as a production motoryacht of this class gets. You can learn more details and pricing information from local dealer Silver Seas Yachts. The Seattle branch is receiving their ﬁrst one this month, possibly as you’re reading this article.

Alerion Express 41 The Alerion sailboat line is in many ways a plucky, underdog story. The quintessentially classy East Coast daysailors, launched in 1989 with the Alerion Express 28 designed by Carl Schumacher, were quickly recognized throughout the industry for their merit. However, as the 1990s slipped past and Schumacher passed away in 2002, difficult years exacerbated by the 2008 recession caused the naval design company and owner of the Alerion molds TPI (aka the Pearson Marine

Group) to close. Assets were bought by USWatercraft before they also went bust in 2017. Fortunately for those with a heart, Alerion Yachts was saved from the brink by Peter Johnstone and production has resumed on Rhode Island. The company is now poised to celebrate the Alerion family’s 30th anniversary, albeit a past of uneasy economic seas. All this background serves as foreplay to the Alerion Express 41, the company’s ﬂagship sloop rig. It’s not hyperbole to say that

seeing an Express 41 sail by makes the heart ache a little. Diverting from the daysailor emphasis of the smaller Alerions of yore, the Express 41 is made to accommodate six on extended cruises. Despite the cruising refocus, it’s an Alerion alright with a similar bow and stern proﬁle and it’s a close cousin to the Alerion Express 33 with an elegant sheer and low coachroof. There’s a smidge of overhang at the transom, but that doesn’t stop this forward-thinking design from having the ever-popular deployable swim-step/water access platform to get into the water. The cockpit is deep sitting with high coamings for open water and the side decks are wide and open. The interior is generous with 6’6” headroom, spacious seating, and ample entertainment accommodations. The Alerion Express 41 is a yachtsman’s sailboat through and through, a true Yankee design. If your interest is piqued, you can contact local dealer Sail Northwest for more details and pricing.

Prestige 680 windows with subtle horizontal windows running along the hull. This gives the whole presentation a very futuristic look. Owners and guests will probably spend most of their time enjoying the flybridge, complete with plenty of seating, a dining table, BBQ, mini-bar, and helm. A deployable canvas top will come in handy when the rain falls. The interior is frankly gorgeous and completely open for maximum social mixing. There’s a helm down there too, unlike some new yachts that opt for a single helm in the flybridge to make the cabin a purely luxury affair. The sumptuous berths can

The largest boat the Jeanneau Group has ever built (the Prestige 750 is built at the Beneteau Group Facility), the Prestige 680 is a no-holds-barred luxury motoryacht meant to go toe-to-toe with the best. This is a best-inclass kind of yacht, more concerned with being the greatest new thing rather than invoking old-school nostalgia. Several features jump out, including the large swim step aft, a massive entertainment-focused ﬂ ybridge, and generous padded sunlounge at the foredeck. The market demands light, airy interiors, so the 680’s cabin is completely encased in glass

Jet Power in the Palm of Your Hand SeaBob Underwater Scooter Just when you thought you had every toy on the planet, along comes the Seabob. Half jet ski and half diving propeller, this compact aquatic propulsion system works on top of and below the waves, allowing you to glide eﬀortlessly through the water. The Seabob is powered by an electric jet engine that propels the device forward by sucking water into its rotating impeller and forcing it out at a high velocity. The body of the Seabob is neutrally buoyant, making it very versatile and easy to maneuver above and below the water. The case of the unit is made of carbon elements, ceramic coatings, and precious metals that are resistant to salt water corrosion. Simple controls and a clear display panel mean new drivers can learn to use the Seabob in just a few minutes. The cockpit is situated directly in front of the pilot’s view and displays all important data relating to driving performance, speed, and battery level. The

whole vehicle can be controlled with just a few buttons; the squeeze of a trigger activates the drive mechanism and the press of a green button accelerates the unit while the push of a red button slows it down. Releasing the trigger brings the scooter to an immediate stop. The Seabob has a built-in safety feature that allows you to select your desired maximum depth up to 120 feet. When the Seabob reaches the selected maximum depth, the drive mechanism will automatically disengage and the unit will ﬂoat to the surface ‒ perfect for kids and inexperienced divers. A powerful lithium ion battery powers the Seabob, meaning the unit cannot spill oil or other pollutants. Its quiet and eco-friendly design allows you to use the scooter around sensitive marine environments including coral reefs. The battery is durable enough to provide three hours of life on the lowest speed setting and about an hour at the

maximum setting. The unit can recharge in about 90 minutes when plugged into its quick charging station. An optional HD camera system – complete with two cameras ‒ can also be included in the Seabob to record every second on the water; one camera faces forward and captures the scenery while the other records your every reaction. If you’re sold on the Seabob and want to add it to your toy collection, head to seabob.com to learn more. Models start at about $8,900. The SeaBob F5 is one of several designs.

Safe n’ Sound Fast Find 220 It can go from the best of times to the worst of times in a split second on the water. Best to be prepared regardless of whatever madness Mother Nature throws your way. Given the “snowmageddon” we encountered in February, you might want to take a second to ensure you have all the safety items you need on board. One such device that could make the diﬀerence between life and death is the Fast Find 220 PLB. It’s simple, lightweight, ﬁts in the palm of your hand, and can summon emergency assistance fast. It uses

42 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MARCH 2019

the dedicated 406MHz frequency to transmit your unique ID and exact GPS location to search and rescue satellites worldwide, and emergency services can find you thanks to your beacon’s secondary 121.5MHz transmitter. With a distress beacon such as this, no waypoint is off limits. It floats with its buoyancy pouch, has a battery life that lasts up to six years, is waterproof up to 30 feet, features a safe-stow antenna, and flashes SOS in Morse code with its LED light. Pick one up at solidsignal.com for $299.

New Products Gill's new S119 Collection is made with our North Pacific angling conditions in mind.

New Gear, New Me The S119 Collection by Gill Catch this, anglers! Gill recently launched its brand new S119 Collection of high-tech ﬁshing apparel. The Collection includes over 60 new products with new Blue, Graphite, and Tango colors. From ﬁshing jackets and bibs, sunglasses, watches, bags, UV tech t-shirts, shorts, hats, and boots, Gill’s new style is eye-catching and cutting-edge with plenty of high-tech clothing and accessories to go around.

But the Fusion System is what truly caught our eye. This multifunctional design includes a three-layer jacket, smock, and trousers intended for all anglers in all conditions. The smock ($375) embraces the dire need for free movement, protection, and comfort with its strong but lightweight build and an optional hood. It features three layers of waterproof fabric with adjustable cuﬀs and neck. The

jacket ($349) promotes similar characteristics, and as Gill states, “everything you need to win – not just compete.” Both feature a quick-dry, brushed mesh lining, a packable three-layer, high visibility hood and a three-way volume adjustment system with internal fleece-lined cord channel. Hand warmer pockets with water resistant zips will keep your fingers toasty, and adjustable outer cuffs with PU inner seals provide watertight comfort. The salopettes ($349) are next up in this system with adjustable shoulders, an internal fly, a cargo thigh pocket with easy-access, multitool pouch and adjustable ankle closures. Also included in the system is a Race Long Sleeve Tee ($55), Race Trainer shoes ($130), and Race Fusion Sunglasses ($125), all with the same color scheme of Blue, Graphite, and Tango.

On The Cutting Edge Chef’s Choice EdgeSelect 120 Electric Knife Sharpener Remember how sharp your kitchen knife was when it was brand new, or how easy filleting fish was with a fillet knife fresh out of its packaging? Put an edge on your fishing, pocket, or kitchen knives that’s as sharp (or sharper) as it was the first time you used it with the EdgeSelect 120 knife sharpener from Chef’s Choice. The EdgeSelect uses three stages to create a sharp edge on any household or sport knife; the different stages produce a triple beveled edge, reminiscent of a Gothic arch,

that lasts longer than traditional edges. Each stage uses two slots so both sides of your blade are sharpened evenly. Stage one uses a diamond abrasive disk to bevel an edge on your knife; the spinning abrasive disk works in just a few passes. The second stage puts a finer edge on the blade, and the third stage microscopically realigns the blade with a flexible stropping disk and ultra-fine abrasives. Stage three is also perfect for serrated blades, sharpening and realigning the serration teeth. Blade guides keep

your knife perfectly aligned for your choice of a 15- or 20-degree cutting angle. The knife sharpener works with just one button, and three suction-cup feet to keep the sharpener ﬁrmly in place. Each EdgeSelect comes with a three-year household warranty. If you’ve got a collection of dull knives in your galley drawer, grab an electric knife sharpener from Chef’s Choice and get sharpening. You can ﬁnd yours at chefschoice.com for $120.

and with it, the need for seasonal maintenance. With the new year, Seaview Boatyard has made a couple of business changes to the yard policies and procedures. Starting February 1, 2019 all bottom paint products, work, and related activities must be provided and performed by Seaview Boatyard personnel. Also, all anode replacement must be performed by Seaview personnel. Bottom paintwork and anode replacement directly affects our stormwater runoff. By no longer allowing commercial associates, third parties, and "do-it-yourselfers" to perform these tasks, Seaview Boatyard is ensuring these waste streams are handled properly. Continuing to provide environmentally conscious boatyard facilities is one of the key components to our success in the great Pacific Northwest. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to serving the boating community for many more years to come.

Nautic Alert Insight X2 If you’re like the vast majority of boaters, your vessel doesn’t get much attention during the winter months. In fact, some boaters even live in an entirely diﬀerent state than their boat most of the year. This is where electronic vessel monitoring comes in handy. These systems can keep a close eye on your boat when you’re away. The Insight X2 is a boat monitoring system from Nautic Alert that can cover virtually every aspect of your boat. The X2’s sensors provide real-time data for the earliest alert possible. Users know within seconds if something has been detected by the X2. The system monitors your yacht’s location, a dragging anchor, and release from moorage, giving you the edge on thieves.

Helmsman

TOP QUALITY AT FACTORY DIRECT PRICING

The status of your DC batteries banks and the water levels in the bilge are also monitored down to an accuracy of a tenth of an inch. The X2 allows you to control the bilge pumps and auto swamp pumps on your boat. The unit can communicate with the owner or crew of a boat using graphic and audio indicators, emails, or text messages, so alerts are never missed. The X2 was designed for the marine environment, and as a result, is made of marine-grade components and uses ultra-low power. If you’d like to have a little more peace of mind when you’re spending extended time away from your vessel, check out the Insight X2 system from Nautic Alert at nauticalert.com. Systems start at $2,500.

For Paddle Enthusiasts Kayak Boat Pendant

Navigate Like a Pro KAT-100 AIS While AIS isn’t a requirement for all vessels, it’s smart to have as many safety and identiﬁcation devices onboard as possible. AIS systems are the perfect supplement to radar for identifying other boats out on the water. The Koden KAT-100 Class A is an AIS system that works well for any merchant vessel, workboat, or private yacht. The KAT-100 uses one transmitter and three receivers to maximize its ability to detect data from other vessels. The unit transmits and exchanges the full range of dynamic, static, and voyage-related data to other AIS equipped vessels. A 16-channel GPS receiver supplies the KAT-100 with reliable time synchronization data. The transmitted data includes vessels’ ship position, course over ground, speed over ground, heading, navigation data, and more.

A tough, compact case protects the unit while providing seven serial data ports. Password protection guards any important information stored in the unit. A simple menu, soft-key controls, and rotary control knob make the KAT-100 easy to use and the LED-backlit, high contrast screen makes all information easy to read in every lighting condition. Those using the KAT-100 for commercial applications can take advantage of the front-mounted pilot plug provided. The KAT-100 meets the standards of the Coast Guard and the EU Marine Equipment Directive. If you’d like to add or update an AIS system to your craft, check out the KAT-100 from Koden on koden-electronics.co.jp. Prices start at around $750.

If you like to wear your kayak passion on your sleeve, why not go all in and wear it around your neck? The silver Kayak Boat Pendant by Strokeside is modeled after a professional racing kayak. It measures 0.17 inches wide by 1 inch high with the chain sold separately. The shiny silver necklace can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion, be it a fancy dinner or a day on the water! Strokeside Designs creates accessories for rowers of all tides. They offer rings, cuﬄinks, earrings, and more. Check out their full collection on their StrokesideDesigns Etsy shop. The Kayak Boat Pendant is available for $29.99. Add the chain for an additional $15.

As boaters, we often rely on technology to keep us afloat. From boating education to keeping course and racing games to star navigation, our trusty handheld electronic devices are typically by our side, either tucked snuggly into our foul weather gear, or below deck at the nav station. Throw on a waterproof case and you’re golden, but what happens when you’re backpacking a remote inlet up north and your handheld VHF drops to the 1 percent battery level? Well, you break out the Adventure H20 portable charger by myCharge. Your average portable charger isn’t waterproof, durable, or immune to harsh conditions like the H20. This one can take on anything

from rain and mud to extreme heat or cold. It’s encased inside an insulated, rugged exterior case that’s completely waterproof with an IP67 rating. So, if you tip your canoe and find your charger at the bottom of a lake, or more likely, your water bottle spills in your pack, simply wipe it off and you’re good to go. Attach it to your pack, belt, or safety line with its built-in carabineer and hit the watery road on whatever adventure you have planned, completely worry-free. Keep an eye out for Adventure H20 on mycharge.com for its release. Coming spring 2019.

Digital Delivery Podcast Preview // Sailing Stories Nothing can get you yearning for a little time on the water like a good story taking place on the open waves. From the producer of the ‘59 North’ podcast comes the ‘Sailing Stories’ podcast, which tells amazing stories of survival and adventure on the seas in weekly installments. The podcast is broken up into different ‘seasons’ each based on a different book or account and released in a serialized format. Hosted by sailor Lee Cumberland and produced by Andy Schell, the show covers nautical adventure stories, like the one about two Swedish men named Janne Larsson and Kalle Andersson who, over several bottles of wine, decided to sail around the world … without any sailing experience whatsoever. Or listen to the exploits of French-Canadian solo sailor Yves Gelinas from Yves himself as he narrates his solo circumnavigation on his beloved Alberg 30 Jean du Sud. If you’ve been looking for a new podcast for your commute or a lazy day around the house, head to sailingstoriespodcast.com and take a listen.

Hotwire By Jeff Cote

Using Wi-Fi To Get Your Chartplotter Online Wi-Fi is becoming more popular on boats, whether you have a dedicated cellular-toWi-Fi gateway/hub with a SIM card, use your smart device to create a hotspot, or use the Wi-Fi at your marina. Marine electronics manufacturers have started to add built-in Wi-Fi to multifunction displays (MFDs). While Bluetooth has also been available for some time, Wi-Fi has a wider bandwidth and can transfer significantly more data, which is important for charting, radar, and sonar images. It is not uncommon for us at Pacific Yacht Systems to see two or three Wi-Fi networks on a boat, one for AIS sharing to an AIS transceiver like the Vesper XB-8000, one to view navigation info from a Wi-Fi enabled MFD, and a separate Wi-Fi for general internet use. The user selects the network based on the task at hand. Why is Wi-Fi so popular? The first advantage is that you can check online for available software updates for your navigation equipment, troubleshoot errors, or view an online manual to learn tips and tricks. However, the real benefit is that you can transform a tablet or smartphone into both a viewer and a two-way MFD controller. The tablet syncs with the MFD and you can use the tablet screen to control the MFD remotely, viewing charts, operating radar, selecting menus and even setting waypoints. In essence, you are creating a second helm for your boat. Wi-Fi enabled MFDs use a free downloadable app, allowing you to manage your boating experience from

anywhere. The Garmin GPSMAP series with Garmin Helm uses ActiveCaptain. Furuno NavNet TZ Touch with the NavNet View app also includes Furuno’s weather station, giving you unlimited access to worldwide weather forecasts around the clock. The Raymarine eS Series MFDs offer a different array of monitoring systems using the RayControl mobile app. Lowrance and Simrad uses its GoFree technology. The B&G Zeus SolarMAX, designed with sailors in mind, uses the Link app to give you the ability to wirelessly backup and restore waypoints, routes, and tracks directly to your smart device. Companies like Vesper and Digital Yacht have created products that allow boaters to view AIS information over Wi-Fi to a local connected smart device without a chartplotter. Fusion has a new stereo product called the Apollo that uses Wi-Fi to share music over multiple decks throughout the boat, allowing listeners to choose their own selections or to sync the whole boat; or even a side-tie to listen to the same music between boats. Connoisseurs agree that music over Wi-Fi sounds much better than music over Bluetooth, since Wi-Fi has better data throughput. Furuno 1 st Watch was the first Wi-Fi 4kW radar that is accessible from a smart device using a free app. This is a great solution for the boater who does not want to run additional radar wiring, add another display, or has limited space for a radome, but would still like all the benefits of having radar on the boat. Manufacturers are also enabling smart watches to communicate with MFDs. The B&G Osprey Apple Watch App allows wearers to view instrument data directly on their wrist. The Garmin Quantix 5 connects with compatible Garmin MFDs to provide autopilot control, remote waypoint marking, data streaming, and sail racing assistance. You can even control your tunes using the Fusion-Link App. If you recently purchased a MFD and it did not come with built-in Wi-Fi, don’t dismay. Most manufacturers offer a Wi-Fi module or black box that can be purchased separately like the Raymarine WiFish. A connected boat provides a lot of convenience, but the greatest advantage is still safety. Important data is not “stuck” in one place and is shared and available throughout the boat to the whole crew.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein

VHF and MFF (Making Fishing Fun)! Last month we talked a lot about fishing safety. This should always be at the forefront of your planning and procedure in your piscatorial pursuits. While we’ll hit on safety again this month, we’ll also focus on making fishing fun. First the serious. One of the essential tools for fishing safety is your VHF radio. If possible, two separate units and a backup handheld is the optimum setup. One VHF unit and a handheld is what I’d consider a minimal communication arsenal. You’ve also got your cell phone, but don’t count on having reception. Some offshore boats are equipped with satellite phones, a good idea but cost prohibitive for a lot of recreational anglers. As with any tool, if you don’t know how to use it, it’s useless or even dangerous. Knowing how to use your VHF can save you. I’m no expert on marine communication, but I would strongly recommend studying some good articles on the BoatUS website, this magazine’s Hotwire column, or other venues for procedure and protocol. A training class or seminar on VHF usage and marine emergency communication could be invaluable as well. An investment in a modern DSC (digital selective calling) AIS-equipped radio and registration of your

Right: March means lingcod and rockfish. Catching these fish can be fun and relaxing with the right preparation and attitude. Below: Areas in our region like Washington’s San Juan Islands and Canada’s Gulf Islands can host beautiful fun-in-the-sun days and big hungry Chinook salmon in late March.

MMSI (maritime mobile security identity) number can provide a valuable component to marine safety. If functioning and registered correctly, hitting and holding that distress button on your registered radio should provide emergency responders with the location of your vessel through Rescue 21 technology. Make sure your radio is either equipped with an internal GPS receiver or connected to an external GPS sensor or chartplotter. The U.S. Coast Guard receives many emergency calls from vessels that either don’t have a radio interconnected to GPS or are unregistered. This provides no position information, and position is everything to rescue operations. Familiarize yourself and others with procedures on how to provide longitude and latitude coordinates by voice as well. For those unfamiliar with coordinates, being able to at least use the functioning distress button should provide location and a ping to the Coast Guard. Each person on your fishing trip should be able to know how to do this in case the captain becomes incapacitated, falls overboard, or can’t get to the radio in a timely fashion during emergency. Checking your VHF transmission and reception by calling on channels such as 68 and 72 is a good way to start an extended or long-range fishing trip, especially in dicey weather. Transmission on channel 16 is, of course, for emergency or safety communication only. Practice speaking clearly and concisely. This may mean the difference in keeping your cool in a real emergency. On to the not so serious subject for this month—having fun while you’re out there chasing fish is also important! This seems like a no-brainer, right? Well, you can use your brain to make an angling trip more enjoyable for everyone. Attitude is everything. You can thrive in any endeavor through positive energy or negative energy. I’ll take the positive! Your attitude as captain or crew can make the difference between a fun fishing trip or a bit of a bummer. Start out each trip with some levity. There will always be challenges on the water. There’s also a lot of humor and beauty to be found out there. Make sure everyone is warm and dry enough and has enough to eat and drink. A good, well-maintained vessel can also alleviate headaches. Work as a team throughout the trip. Where does everyone want to fish and how? While the captain has the Continued on Page 86 A lifelong resident of Washington state, Kevin Klein has been on the rivers, lakes, and salt waters of the Pacific Northwest since conception.

Any given day, you may find Kevin plying the waters of the Northwest, looking for fun and fish.

On Watch By Peter Schrappen

Winds of Change It’s not every year that the recreational boating industry loses two opponents in the legislature and replaces one with a bona fide champion and the other with a new member of the state senate that has an open door to divergent viewpoints. That’s exactly what happened this year, and it is a relief to offer some candor and honestto-gosh truth about this now-hopeful situation. First, let’s start with a simple question: how can someone be anti-boating? This question comes up from time to time and it’s a good one. What’s not to love about seeing the world from the water on a recreational boat? For one, if you are a lawmaker that loves the outdoors but disdains motorized fun, then a fork in the road begins. Second, if you see boating exclusively as toys for the rich, then little room exists to see the world from the small businesses that comprise the working waterfront. Another viewpoint that flies in the face of recreational boating and fishing (remember that over half of the state’s 240,000 recreational boats are used for fishing sometimes or all the time) is biased support for our friends in the commercial fishing industry. In my experience, recreational salmon fishing and commercial salmon fishing are, unfortunately, a zero sum. The more wild salmon caught in commercial gillnets on the Columbia River mean less fishing opportunity for recreational salmon anglers throughout the state of Washington. There are real winners and losers and some in the legislature have put their stake in the ground to support commercial gillnets at the expense of the thousands of recreational anglers. This scenario described Sen. Marilyn Chase (Democrat – Shoreline). I’ve seen her go out of her way to (metaphorically) poke her finger in the recreational fishing eye whenever she could. She would try to antagonize recreational fishing testimony during committee hearings. Her background was probably part of the equation, as her family came from the commercial fishing industry and that bias colored her view on any fishing issues, as common-sense as they appeared. However, those were the old days. The conflict is over because Chase lost last Election Day. The voters brought another fellow Democrat (Senator Jesse Salomon) on board. Not only is he a young rising star, but when he’s not thinking about boating and recreational fishing, he is on the water nabbing all sorts of Puget Sound fish. It is remarkable that he actively sought out the fishing committee and in his first couple of weeks as a senatorelect, he was elected vice-chair of the Natural Resources Committee by his peers. That’s our committee! Does it get any better?

As the legislature kicked into gear this year, more news about an opponent of recreational boating policy broke. Senator Kevin Ranker resigned after it was found that he violated Senate workplace policies. While Senator Ranker spoke about being pro-boating, I think it was merely a soundbite for him when convenient. When he was in front of boaters, he loved to boast about his locally made Bullfrog Boat. However, when given the chance he threw recreational anglers under the bus during the recently concluded Southern Resident Killer Whale Task Force. My analysis was that he would often seek policy based on convenience and anecdote, always looking for the headline and chance to shine a spotlight on himself. Like I said, he’s gone and a new era has begun. The new lawmaker, Newly-elected Washington State Senator Liz Lovelett, is no Senator Jesse Salomon is a rising star stranger to the Anacortes within the Democratic Party. He is a maritime community. She friend to both commercial and recrepreviously served on the ational fishers, and even fishes himself. Anacortes City Council. According to my contacts there, she may not always agree with employers and business, but you can always have a conversation with her and she will consider your viewpoint. Already, that’s more than you can say about her predecessor. As they say, March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb (or is it the other way around?). The tumult of these two wholesale changes exemplify how lions that can roar at us can change into lions that roar for us in the legislature. That the will of the voters and our community is actually represented should give hope to all the cynics who wonder what good can come from voting. Be the change, boaters!

Galley Gourmet By Bill Shaw

Savory Flavors for Unsavory Weather As construction of the New McMillin’s kitchen and dining room is underway, the kitchen team has moved into the Madrona Grill. Last week our opening was celebrated with over a foot of snow and subfreezing temperatures. Guests are enjoying the winter menu at Madrona and I wanted to share a few of the new items with everyone. We are featuring the new Cheesy Garlic Sourdough Cannon Ball; warm sourdough bread stuffed with garlic, butter, provolone, white cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Spicy Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich, starring crispy fried chicken marinated in Korean gochujang chili sauce. Chicken Parmesan, the Italian-American comfort food with a robust fresh marinara sauce and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. And last but certainly not least a cocktail in memory of Ada Bean, our resident ghost of the resort (see page 24 for receipe). When the last sheet of walnut paneling was removed from the fireplace of the McMillin’s restaurant lobby, I discovered a

faded newspaper stuck to the plaster. After freeing it from the wall, I read an advertisement selling tours to the world’s largest salmon cannery and a guided fishing trip in Bellingham Bay. The trips departed daily from Seattle’s Coleman dock. News stories reporting liquor violations in Seattle’s waterfront bars and a story about a lawsuit between two rival businessmen reminded me of how little things have changed since the 1880s. While the wall coverings may be updated in McMillin’s dining room, the rough-cut lumber framing of the outer walls and the stories they hold will live to tell today’s stories a hundred years from now. Bill Shaw is the head chef of Roche Harbor Resort and Marina of San Juan Island. Shaw has worked at Roche since 1993. He loves utilizing local ingredients and takes full advantage of the area’s seasonal goods.

KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) Makes 4 sandwiches

Chef’s Notes: During the winter months at Roche Harbor, the kitchen slows down to a slow simmer and my team and I love to sneak away to Seattle to taste the latest culinary creations from the city’s innovative chefs. On our last visit we went in search of the best fried chicken. After gorging ourselves at the Wandering Goose, Ezell’s, and The Skillet Diner, we stepped into a Bok a Box Fried Chicken in Capitol Hill. We ordered a little of everything on the menu to go. After a few minutes, our name was called and we grabbed our food, headed out the door, and spread out our Korean banquet over the hood of my truck. From the Kimchi Mac and Cheese to the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, we knew we had to find a way to put a Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich on our menu.

4 – 5 ounces chicken breast, boneless ¼ cup soy sauce ¼ cup gochujang red chili paste ¼ cup fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced 1 Tablespoon coriander, ground 1 Tablespoon ginger, grated 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 1 Tablespoon garlic minced 1 Tablespoon ginger, grated ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup soy sauce

2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 Tablespoon honey 1 Tablespoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 Tablespoon gochujang Chili sauce ¼ cup May Ploy Sweet Red Chili Sauce 1 cup tempura batter mix (Krusteaz brand) 4 cups vegetable oil 4 each soft torpedo roll 6 to 8 inches long ½ cup kimchi, rough chopped ½ cup cabbage, sliced ¼ inch ½ cup English cucumber, sliced ¼ inch ¼ cup pickled jalapeno, sliced

Place chicken breast, one at a time, on a piece of plastic food wrap, then cover with another sheet of food wrap. Using the flat end of a meat-tenderizing hammer, gently pound the breast to an even thickness of ¾ inch. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, coriander, ginger and black pepper. Mix well to combine. Place flattened chicken breast in a zip lock bag and pour soy sauce and gochujang mixture over chicken breasts. Remove most of air from bag and seal. Place in refrigerator for 24 hours. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add vegetable oil, garlic and ginger. When garlic and ginger have softened, about 1 to 2 minutes, add brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, sesame oil, gochujang and the sweet red chili sauce. Mix to combine and add to the simmering brown sugar–soy sauce. Stir until sauce thickens to a barbeque sauce consistency. Korean Barbeque Sauce can be made ahead and held refrigerated for 5 to 6 days. In a medium bowl, prepare tempura batter as directed on Krusteaz box, substituting cold beer for water. Remove marinated chicken breasts from bag, scrape off excess marinade, and discard. In a Dutch oven on medium high heat, add 4 cups of vegetable oil and heat to 350˚ F. Dip marinated chicken, one at time, in tempura batter and allow excess batter to drip off before placing in hot oil. Cook chicken until golden brown or about 8 minutes. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 150˚ F. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain. Preheat broiler to high. Slice open the roll and place on a baking sheet with cut side facing up. Broil until warm and slightly toasted. In a small bowl, add kimchi and cabbage. Mix to combine. Divide the kimchi mix into 4 equal amounts and place on the bottom-toasted roll followed by the crispy chicken. Top the chicken with a heaping tablespoon full of warm Korean Barbeque Sauce followed by 4 slices of cucumber and 4 slices of jalapeno.

Chicken Parmesan Inspired from New York’s Pietro’s Italian-American Restaurant.

1⁄3 cup olive oil 1 medium white onion, finely chopped 2 Tablespoons garlic, minced ½ cup dry white wine 2 – 28 ounce can San Marzano, peeled tomatoes ½ cup fresh basil, torn into ½ inch pieces 1 Tablespoon dry oregano, whole ½ teaspoon, red chili flakes 2 teaspoons Kosher salt 2 teaspoons black pepper ground 4 - 6-ounce chicken breast, boneless and skinless

Chef’s Notes: 1. The breaded cutlet will tighten up during the cooking process and the finished thickness of the meat will be 3⁄8’. 2. It is important that the oil is very hot and that the browning process is very quick so that the chicken is not overcooked before it goes under the broiler. 3. When melting cheese in broiler, do not overcook cheese or it will form an unwanted crust.

1 teaspoon black pepper ground 1 teaspoon kosher salt 3 each egg, whipped 1 cup breadcrumbs 1 cup Panko Japanese breadcrumbs 1 cup all-purpose flour ¾ cup vegetable oil 2 cups Mama’s Marinara sauce 1 cup (.75 ounce) Parmagiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated

Directions: In a 4-quart Dutch oven on medium heat, add olive oil. When olive oil is hot, add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring often to avoid browning, until soft and translucent, about 15 to 20 minutes. Deglaze with white wine; allow wine to evaporate until the onions are almost dry. Add tomatoes with liquid, herbs, and spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring and scraping the pan until the tomatoes fall apart and the sauce becomes thick and rich, about 45 minutes to an hour. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to make the sauce less chunky. Place in a shallow heatproof dish and cool in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. The sauce can be made 4 to 5 days in advance and the rest time reduces the acidity in the sauce. Place chicken breast on cutting board and butterfly breast by holding the knife parallel to the cutting board, cut through breast along the long side, stopping ½ inch before cutting all the way through. Open up the breast like a book with the connected side acting as the spine. Place the butterflied breast between two pieces of food film and gently pound until as thin as possible without tearing the meat, ideally to about ¼ inch and about 9 inches in diameter. Place whipped eggs, breadcrumbs, and flour in separate shallow pans. Season breast on both sides with steak salt. Dredge the seasoned chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, letting excess drip into bowl, then coat in breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium high heat until very hot (an instant read thermometer should be at 450˚ to 475˚ and the oil should just begin to smoke). Carefully add the breaded cutlet into the skillet and let it slide into the oil so that it lies flat. Swirl the oil in the skillet and cook until golden brown or about 30 to 45 seconds. Using tongs, carefully turn culet and cook until golden brown on other side, about 30 seconds (it does not need to be fully cooked as it will continue to cook under the broiler). Drain and discard oil from pan leaving the golden-brown chicken cutlet in skillet. Ladle 4 ounces of warm marinara over the top of cutlet and spread evenly to outside edges. Sprinkle ¼ cup (.75 ounce) of grated Parmesan evenly over marinara. Place under salamander or broiler until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Place completed chicken Parmesan on a heated 9-inch plate and serve.

Cheesy Garlic Sourdough Cannon Ball Serves 4 as a side dish

1 – 9 ounces sourdough round 1⁄2 cup butter, softened 2 Tablespoons garlic, minced 1 Tablespoon Italian flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

2 Tablespoons Parmesan, finely grated ¼ cup provolone cheese, shredded ¼ cup white cheddar, shredded 2 Tablespoons Parmesan, finely grated

Directions: Preheat oven to 350˚. Use the convection feature if your oven is so equipped. Place sourdough round on cutting board. Using a bread knife or serrated knife, cut though the center of the loaf using a sawing action, leaving the bottom ½ inch of the bread intact. Turn the bread round one-quarter turn and repeat the slicing method while leaving the bottom ½ inch attached. The bread should now be sliced into 4 attached wedges. Repeat the slicing method to create 8 wedges that are connected at the bottom of the sourdough round. In a small bowl combine: softened butter, garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese. Then stir ingredients into a creamy consistency. Gently pull the loaf apart and spread half of the garlic butter between the slices of bread. Stuff the shredded provolone and cheddar in equal amounts into the slices of bread. Place the stuffed bread round on a foil-lined baking sheet and place in the 350˚ oven. Remove the toasted sourdough round from the oven when the bread is heated through and the cheese is melted, about 15 to 20 minutes. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining butter and pour over the toasted sourdough round. Garnish with Parmesan and serve on a wooden cutting board.

Chef’s Note: Seattle Sourdough Baking Company has been baking their famous Waterfront Sourdough since the early ‘80s at Miner’s Landing at Pier 57 on the Seattle waterfront and continues to serve the local Seattle restaurants and downtown area with authentic sourdough. This recipe takes this famed Seattle bread to another level by roasting it with butter, fresh garlic, and a mixture of provolone, Parmesan, and white cheddar.

Foiling technology is no longer exclusive to America’s Cup boats. Are flying boats the future, or the now?

BY DO U G HAN S E N

60 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MARCH 2019

In the 2013 America’s Cup, the sailing world was transfixed on the 72-foot catamarans racing under the Golden Gate Bridge. Not only was it a major turning point away from the traditional monohull racing of America’s Cups gone by, but this time competitors brought something most people had never seen: flying boats. It was no longer a game of hundredths of

a knot making the difference in the race, it was a white-knuckle game of chicken with yachts approaching one another at freeway speeds and computers strapped to wrists taking the place of the wise, moustache-sporting tactician. The racing would go into the record books as the largest comeback in America’s Cup history. James Spithill and the stacked team of the Oracle Racing came

showed a glimpse of the future, and the future is fast.

FOILING 101 At its core, the term foiling refers to utilizing a hydrodynamic lifting wing that rides in the water below a boat to push the boat upward. When a foil-equipped boat reaches a certain speed, the boat rises out of the water onto the J- or T-shaped foils. This dramatically reduces the water displaced by the boat and the drag associated with moving all that water out of the way. These forces work the same way as an airplane wing, with the water splitting around the blade shape, generating a pulling effect that lifts the boat upward. The trick to using foils effectively relies on a multitude of factors, but most significant is the boat’s weight, more specifically being less than the lifting force that the foils can generate, thus enabling the boat to rise. The secret sauce is a closely guarded, highly refined cocktail with the appropriate mixings of lift vs. speed, control vs. drag, and all the while allowing the crew to control both the flight behavior and steering while foiling and in light wind before the boat lifts off. This has become possible in recent years thanks to advancements in both computational and materials science. Everything from high-strength carbon fiber and low-weight honeycomb structures to optimize performance to advanced computer fluid dynamic simulations that calculate precise shapes are combined into these amazing machines. The line between aerospace and boat building is essentially non-existent, with top build-

ers playing at the forefront of technology and even pioneering techniques to make boats stronger and lighter.

EXPERIMENTAL IS ELEMENTAL While gaining popularity and practicality in recent years, in reality, foiling had been around for decades before racing in the San Francisco Bay brought it to the world stage. The Hydrosail Inc. Team broke the 30-knot barrier all the way back in 1979. The effort was capped off with a commercial version of the foiling catamaran used during the record attempt, but the idea never caught on beyond a handful of diehard sailors. Fast forward to 2008 and foiling technology, while moving forward, remained more in the realm of experimental rather than reality. The French Hydroptère was setting YouTube ablaze with their spectacular speed and a successful run at the illusive 50-knot barrier, taking the one-mile record with a 50.17 knots average speed. The team set out on a mission to prove that foiling was not just for one-mile speed runs and set off for a record attempt from Los Angeles to Hawaii, completing the 2,215 nautical mile trip without major issues, though not breaking the record. Almost in tribute to the extreme nature of this experimental boat, upon completing the trip, it was left tied to the dock in Oahu to rot, eventually being auctioned off by the harbor master as an abandoned vessel some months later. While many extreme hydro-foiling concepts have come and gone, some in more spectacular ways than others, this anecdote is a standout.

back from eight points behind to win out against Dean Barker and the Kiwis from Emirates Team New Zealand. It was not until the American team prioritized getting the boat to ride on the foils that they could come back for the win. Not only did this cycle of The Cup show the world at large how far sailing had come since the days of polo shirts and Jennifer Grey’s “Whomper” (from the movie Wind), it

Above, Right: The Nacra 17 one-design catamaran will bring fully foiling fleet racing onto the world stage in the Paris 2020 Olympics.

Beyond an exotic, experimental one-off breaking the barriers, there are several groundbreaking groups developing foiling for the masses, all be it the highly trained, hyper-athletic masses. Advanced development dinghy classes are always leading the way in the latest technology, and being far less expensive relative to large yachts, it is a natural fit to see groundbreaking and sometimes bone-breaking developments. The first boat that comes to mind when thinking about a hydrofoil dinghy is certainly the Foiling Moth. Utilizing its now iconic T foil centerboard and wide hiking benches, the Moth is perhaps the most common sailing hydrofoil in the world. In a development class tracing its roots back to the 1920s, the Moth incorporated

lifting foils that utilized a mechanical control system in the early 2000s; and its popularity exploded as the new technology brought foiling to the fleet racing world. The class' success continues with the world championship fleet including America’s Cup skippers and Olympic hopefuls as well as champions, all helped by more sailing hardware than you could fit in a Hanse. Over 200 sailors competed in the 2017 world championships, a significant portion of which were junior racers, proving a point that the fleet hit on something—giving people a competitive structure to experience the absolute pinnacle of sailing technology. Looking to pick up where the Moth left off, in perhaps the most progressive decision by World Sailing in recent memory,

FIGARO 3 BENETEAU'S BREAKTHROUGH Adopted as the new one-design class for the Solitaire du Figaro, the VPLP-designed, Beneteau-built Figaro 3 is a groundbreaking production boat that relies on foils to maximize performance. Unlike their big brother, the IMOCA 60, the Figaro 3 is not designed to lift out of the water on its foils, rather it uses the forces to stabilize the boat and increase righting moment without adding weight. The racing series is commonly thought of as the proving ground for anyone serious about solo sailing and runs nearly 2,000 miles every summer along the French coast. Currently 50 production boats are to be completed for the 2019 race with all boats spoken for. The change accompanies the organizers' mission to keep the strict one-design class relevant with modern offshore racing technology while insuring that competition remains at an elite level and attracts racers aspiring to be the next generation of offshore champions. What sets this boat apart from other foiling designs is the focus by the designers on reliability and practicality. Design concepts such as having the foils attach to the hull above the waterline and retract towards the hull for easier moorage and transport solve many problems with other foiling designs. All the while, Beneteau is utilizing the production design as a test platform for other production foiling boats with talks of mainstream foiling in the pipeline but they stress that the Figaro 3 is not a prototype and with 50 boats headed to the water and 50 more in build, they mean it.

62 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MARCH 2019

the Nacra17 is now slotted to be the first foiling sailboat to be raced in the 2020 Olympics. Transitioning from a semifoiling catamaran to a fully foiling double trapeze class is sure to attract the best of modern high-performance sailors with many of the world’s top racers already signing up for preliminary events. This decision follows the world championships in 2017, which were sailed for the first time in fully foiling boats. This is a welcomed change from two Olympics ago when it was questionable if the multihull was going to be a part of sailing going forward. This decision by the Olympic committee and World Sailing puts up a rather large flag that solidifies foiling as more than a passing trend.

BECOMING PART OF THE FAMILY Coming back down to earth, there are those who want to bring hydrofoils to the club-level racer and family sailing dinghy. Envisioned by a group of junior sailors and executed by a skilled and experienced build team, the Unidentified Foiling Object by Fulcrum Speed Works is a true grassroots effort to design and produce an affordable and simple foiling dinghy that anyone with basic sailing experience can learn to sail. Priced at $7,600 for the single sail, one-person dinghy, this model is competitive with even an entry level dinghy and opens the crew weight up to anywhere between 90 to 230 pounds, making this a foiling option for everyone. This truly cost-effective foiling design appeals to the hardcore racer as well as the weekend warrior and is available as a turnkey option. Looking beyond dinghies and day sailors, foiling is also making breakaway strides in the big boat, ocean-racing world. Everything from 70’ multihulls knocking

IMOCA 60 GLOBAL ADVENTURER

days off race records to a Mini 6.5 blasting across the Atlantic are applying this new technology to improve performance. One of the most groundbreaking fleets to undergo the foiling transformation is surely the racing series known in the offshore racing circles simply as “The Figaro.” The racing series, a proving ground for some of the world’s top solo ocean racers, has recently updated its tried and true boat to a radical new design, the Figaro Beneteau 3. Utilizing listing foils that protrude from the sides of the hull and apply lift to the leeward side, the foil works to prevent the boat from heeling and allows for more powerful sails to be used without the need for crew weight on the rail, crucial for solo offshore racing. An added benefit of this class is that a normal person can buy one of these exotic boats direct from Beneteau, though what it would rate in the Northwest is anyone’s guess. This move to foil-assisted boats in the world's most prestigious sailor development class is a clear line in the sand that the way forward is on wings. Perhaps no fleet has seen this transformation quite like the IMOCA 60s of the Vendee Globe Race. Armel Le Cléac'h’s Banque Populaire VIII and Alex Thompson’s Hugo Boss traded blows around the world in the most epic racing in recent memory. Both boats were sporting Salvador Dali moustache-style foils that helped lift the boats free from the water, making for ridiculous speeds and spectacular open ocean sailing, the likes of which has never been seen before. At the end of the 20162017 race, after sailing 79 days nonstop, single handed, at times sailing over in gale conditions averaging over 30 knots of boat speed, the two lead boats were separated by a mere 16 hours, with Armel Le Cléac'h taking the win. The success of the class is soon to be expanded with the former Volvo Ocean Race now transitioning to the boats that will be raced fully crewed, pushing the limits even further beyond what was thought possible only a few years ago. With most of the top performing teams currently building new boats optimized around lifting foils, it is absolutely the class to watch over the next few years.

Dating back to the late 60’s, the IMOCA, often better known as the Open 60, class has been at the forefront of offshore sailing technology since its inception. Bringing us developments like the asymmetric spinnaker, furling headsails, and now foiling boats, the fleet is constantly evolving and progressing. This radical development is made possible by extremely strict safety regulations on the design of the boats such as being fully self-righting from a complete capsize, equipped with fully watertight hatches, and now enclosed cockpits and helm stations. What cannot be debated is their success in offshore sailing, attracting what is unquestionably the most competitive fleet of solo racers in the world. This success is expected to continue with a fully crewed race planned to replace the Volvo Ocean Race for the 2021-2022 event and utilize the existing design rules and some existing boats. The move is targeted at making the round the world race more cost effective for major sponsors as well as open the door to more teams that would be unable to compete if it required a purposebuilt boat. While many of the rules and details of the racing are not settled, one thing is certain; the boats will be racing on foils.

future, in short, no, they are the present. This exciting technology is certain to make its mark on the history of the sport and has only just begun to come into its own. By combining cutting edge technology with the competitive drive of today’s top racers both at the professional and club level, it’s no wonder that flying boats are constantly expanding their popularity and prevalence across nearly every aspect of the sport. Thanks to the foresight of several racing organizations and the widespread

support of sailors, getting up and out of the water is becoming a substantially more attainable dream for everyone. Doug Hansen is a Seattle native and grew up cruising and racing in the Northwest. After spending several years taking care of boats and competing in regattas throughout North America and Europe, he has returned to Seattle to complete a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He is an active participant in the Seattle racing community and enjoys sailing on all types of boats.

UQUOT MARCH 2019 || NORTHWEST YACHTING

Killer whales are often thought of as symbols of the Pacific Northwest, but there's another member of the cetacean family (whales and dolphins) that might be even more Pacific Northwest than mainstays like orcas, beavers, craft beer, waxed beards, or Amazon delivery boxes. It's the gray whale.

By Brianna King

Given that March is when these Silicon Forest hipsters of the whale world migrate past our coast and through the Salish Sea, boaters and landlubbers would do well to know a thing or two about these creatures unique to the west Pacific coast.

On the move, Pilgrim Gray whales can be seen up and down the West Coast of North America, from the Baja peninsula in Mexico up to Alaska, multiple times a year depending on whether they are traveling north or south. Similar to other migration patterns, gray whales spend the northern hemisphere winter months in warmer, more southerly waters. Females will give birth to their calves in warm, sheltered lagoons such as San Ignacio in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

76 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MARCH 2019

A special relationship has developed between the whale-watchers and the whales of San Ignacio. Whale-watchers can reach over the pontoon of a Zodiac and pet, scratch, or splash water on the whales, and the whales appear to enjoy this interaction and actively seek it out to the point that the whales will move on to another boat if the people choose not to interact. This vignette is a far cry from their “devil fish” days, a name for protective mother gray whales when their calves were targeted by whalers. When it’s time, these whales will make like avid Pacific Northwest boater John Wayne and head north to Alaska. This is a long and sometimes perilous journey, often with predators like great white sharks and transient killer whales along the way. Most of these whales will feed

opportunistically en route, but a majority of their feeding takes place in Alaska. They don’t stop their journey in Juneau or even Homer – they make their way to the shallow waters of the northwestern Bering and the Chukchi seas. Most pass by the Pacific Northwest as early as late January to as late as April, through Unimak Pass in the Aleutian Islands in April and May, continuing to move along the coast of Bristol Bay past Nunivak and St. Lawrence islands, and through the Bering Strait, arriving in May or June. This trip, starting from Baja, is 5,000 to 7,000 miles one way! These migrations are one of the longest of any mammal in the world. Researchers satellite tagged a nineyear-old female gray whale they called Varvara and recorded her swimming from Sahkalin Island in Russia to Baja. This

was unusual in that she originated from the small group of gray whales that live predominately in the western Pacific off the Russian coast, thought to not interact with the whales of the West Coast. Regardless of whether this shows that these two previously believed distinct populations are actually one and the same, Varvara swam nearly 14,000 miles in one year – the longest confirmed migration of any mammal.

BEHAVIOR EXPLAINED Their unique bottom feeding behavior incentivizes gray whales to remain in shallow water, and as a result makes them a great species for whale-watching not only from a boat, but also from the shore. The best time of year to see these whales in the Puget Sound is March and April. A small

group of gray whales, known as the Pacific feeding group, do not go farther than the Pacific Northwest and are visible for a longer season in our region. When looking for the whales, search for a heart-shaped, short, and puffy blow, and their gray mottled skin with white patches from barnacles, sea lice, and other parasites. They have no dorsal fin but look for the distinct ‘knuckles’ along the ridgeline of their back as they dive. Gray whales do breach (jump out of the water) and spyhop (stick their head out of the water, thought to be a way for whales to get their bearings). As for places to go whale watching,

one location that holds a special place in my heart is Depoe Bay in Oregon (my grandparents retired and lived here for many years). For such a small port (literally holding the title of “World’s Smallest Navigable Harbor”), this town hosts many people every year that come to see the resident gray whales that call this area home from March to December. If you pass through Depoe Bay and see many cars pulled over and lots of people standing and looking out at the water, there’s a good chance there’s a whale or two (or more!) that can be easily seen from shore. Not only can you see them from land, but

MARCH 2019 || NORTHWEST YACHTING

Right: Dr. Bruce Mate, director of the Oregon State University Marine Mammal Institute (MMI), holds up the brand-new specialty Oregon license plate, adorned with none other than the iconic Pacific gray whale. Plates became available in February of this year, and cost $40, $35 of which goes to the MMI and supports their research, graduate education, and public outreach.

there are many opportunities to go out on local charters to see these whales even more closely and view whales shoreside in a matter of minutes. The Whale Watch Center, run by Oregon State Parks, has lots of information and park rangers to answer questions about the whales. Given the nature of the gray whales’ migration route in that they tightly hug coastlines, there are many locations up and down the West Coast that are prime whale watching spots and have specific visitor’s centers centered around watching for gray whales. Pointe Vicente in Los Angeles on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Cape Perpetua in Oregon, and Cape Flattery of Washington are all locations where gray whales can be easily spotted from shore. An organization called the Whale Trail (thewhaletrail.org) shows West Coast whale locations and land-based viewpoints for great whale spotting from land. While their focus is primarily on southern resident killer whales, they list all other species that can be seen from these locations as well and is a great resource for whale-watching on the West Coast.

SEEING IS BELIEVING

Grays are a great whale-watching species that display a wide variety of behaviors. They can be found in Pacific Northwest waters primarily in March and April, but a smaller resident population off of Washington can be seen March to December. Ferry photo: Cindy Shebley

Given this is a boating magazine, there’s a good chance you’ll want to see whales from land or view them more intimately while fishing, sailing, or doing other activities out on the salt. In Puget Sound, check out Saratoga Passage on the east side of Whidbey Island. Those traveling on the Mukilteo Ferry often see a gray whale or two. The Orca Network (orcanetwork.org) can be a great resource for getting updates on where to see gray whales and orcas in the Salish Sea. Whether you’re looking for whales or looking for fish, there are a few rules and reminders to keep in mind when in close proximity to marine mammals. Gray whales are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), which makes it illegal to harass a marine mammal. In addition to these rules, there are some new recommendations made by the Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW)

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH BRiannA KING Gray whales are a lonely species - for the evolutionary biology nerds, they are known as a monotypic taxon. Evolutionary relationships between animals are described via taxonomy – the process of identifying common ancestors and where animals branched off into different genetic paths. Typically, within a family, there are several genuses, and multiple species within a genus. Sometimes there are lonelier species, however, where the family is represented by one genus and species – a monotypic taxon.

Task Force appointed by Governor Jay Inslee. In the previous issue of Northwest Yachting, our intrepid editor Norris Comer translated the recommendations made by the SRKW Task Force into plain language. The approaches of these recommendations include conserving Chinook salmon habitat, changing the number of hatchery salmon being bred and released, increasing enforcement in marine mammal harassment cases, and more diligently monitoring pollutants such as PCBs. As a result of the concern over the decline of the SRKWs, enforcement of the rules in the MMPA will most likely increase. Whether this increased effort in enforcement will extend to other marine mammals besides the SRKWs remains to be seen, but as boaters, it is important to remember that the rules under the MMPA apply to all marine mammals. The regulations set by NOAA are that boaters must stay 100 yards away from whales (200 yards away specifically for SRKWs – this is a rule set by NOAA under the MMPA, not just a recommendation!), and that you must move on from viewing whales after 30 minutes. Avoid approaching whales when other vessels are present and move on if the whales show any sign that they are disturbed. Do not cut them off or trap them in an area. More rules apply and can be reviewed here: fisheries.noaa.gov/ insight/viewing-marine-life. Unfortunately, there are stories every year of boat operators not following these rules. Speeding through groups of whales, following whales, and cutting off whales are all examples of irresponsible boater behavior, and technically can and should be enforced as crimes under the MMPA. T h e B e W h a l e Wi s e c a m p a i g n (bewhalewise.org) will continue in full force this summer, and with the current discussion over SRKW protection, it is likely the public, especially the boating community, will tolerate less from inconsiderate boaters. If you see anyone boating irresponsibly around marine mammals – SRKW, gray whales, or otherwise – don’t be

At one point, there were three other species of gray whale: Archaeshrichtius, Eschrichtioides, and Gricetoides, that we mostly know by fossil record, and existed in the north Atlantic Ocean. E. robustus, the gray whale found in the Pacific Ocean today, is the sole remaining member of its family, Eschritiidae, and is only found in the Pacific Ocean – one very small population in the Western Pacific along the eastern Russian seaboard, and of course, the larger population we can see up and down the West Coast of the United States during their annual migration from Baja California to Alaska. This story appears to be changing, however, with confirmed sightings of gray whales in the Mediterranean off Israel in 2010, and off Namibia in 2013 (though scientists concur that this is most likely sightings of Pacific gray whales that have made a long journey to other ocean basins, rather than a reappearance of an extinct genus). The gray whale was named after Danish zoologist and physiologist Daniel Frederik Eschricht, by another evolutionary biologist named, ironically, John Edward Gray. The “gray” in the gray whale’s name, however, only refers to its coloration. Seems like a missed opportunity for Gray! Gray whales are described as somewhere between a bowhead whale and a humpback whale. They don’t have a dorsal fin like a humpback does, but aren’t smooth like a bowhead – instead, they have a series of distinct “knuckles” along the ridgeline of their back. They are a baleen whale, meaning that they have bristles made of keratin (similar to our hair and fingernails) in their mouth that they use like a giant sieve to filter small organisms from the water to feed on. Their baleen is much shorter than that of a humpback or bowhead, however, and this is due to their comparatively different feeding strategy. Humpbacks, bowheads, and essentially any other baleen whale target schools of small fish or krill in the water column, and ingest these schools in a single gulp. Gray whales are less interested in krill and fish, however, and instead are interested in amphipods. Amphipods are crustaceans that live in the mud and sand, and look like a cross between a marine version of a pill bug and a shrimp. To feed, gray whales will dive to the bottom, roll on one side, scoop up some mud and sand, and then filter the mud and sand through their baleen, ingesting the amphipods and other invertebrates left behind on the inside of their baleen.

afraid to contact the boaters over the radio and let them know that their behavior has been noted. Have the NOAA Office of Law Enforcement number on hand (1-800-8531964) if their behavior persists. Be ready to provide a description of the vessel, or even better, take photos. Perhaps the intensified attention cast over the SRKWs, though under unfortunate circumstances, will reap a side benefit for other marine mammals like gray whales. Gray whales will surely benefit from stricter regulations and enforcement of boater behavior around marine mammals. To relieve some of the pressure off SRKWs, perhaps we can renew interest in the equally emblematic gray whales. As of February 1, Oregonians can now get a license plate with a graphic of a gray whale and calf to display your fondness for this Pacific Northwest symbol (and the associated surcharge goes to the Marine

Mammal Institute). Why not pitch in for a cause? Our truly unique gray whales are symbols of our waters to the point where it's impossible to imagine places like Depoe Bay or Saratoga Passage without them. Happy watching!

RACING SHEET

Safe Sailing By Doug Hansen The 2010 Southern Straits Race (held April 2 nine years ago) marked the 42nd running of the event, which had grown to be one of the premier overnight races on the Salish Sea racing calendar. The race departs from Vancouver and takes ﬂeets on a zigzag course around the Straits of Georgia and back to the city to ﬁnish. That particular year, the forecast was calling for

sustained winds in the high 40's, which ended up being an underestimate. Many boats made the decision to stay in the harbor to wait out the storm. Others went out into the fray and were met with all that Mother Nature had to serve up. Sustained winds of over 50 knots and a sea state to match made the familiar waters between Vancouver Island and the mainland into a foaming mess of 15-foot waves.

Sailors hit the pool for hands-on survival at sea training, courtesy of BC Sailing's excellent workshops.

80 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MARCH 2019

Nearly the entire 60-boat fleet retired before the Canadian Coast Guard officially called off the race and requested all remaining racers to head towards the nearest port. The aftermath of the race left the yacht Incisor under water and sailors in the hospital warming up for days, several other racers were injured, but thankfully alive. That everyone was alive was more of a fortunate relief than a prepared outcome. What this race did above all else was wake up the distance racing community to the potential catastrophes lurking just on the other side of the lifelines. Following the near miss of 2010 Southern Straits, the BC Sailing organization began offering a Safety at Sea course specifically designed for recreational racers and cruisers. Several of the region’s major races now require a portion of registered crew complete this course. The primary objective of the course is to promote safety as a culture,

not as a bag of gear boaters are required to carry. To help reach this objective; Swiftsure, Van Isle 360, Vic Maui, and, of course, Southern Straits now require that a minimum number of the crew take the course, as well as hands-on inspection of boats to ensure safety gear is not just stuﬀed into a locker where it cannot be accessed. The course is not designed to only be about skills, it is designed to change how individuals and teams approach and manage the inherent risks of being on the water. With the 2019 Van Isle right around the corner, I had the opportunity to take this course. Reﬂecting on previous experiences in conditions far tamer than the west coast of Vancouver Island, adding some formality to safety training was long overdue. The two-day course we took was organized by BC Sailing and hosted out of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club that ran from 0800 to 1700 hours both days. Our team of

Results: Toliva Shoals 2019 instructors each had thousands of offshore racing and cruising miles under their belt and the stories and experience to bring what they were teaching out of the theoretical and into reality. You get your money’s worth of information as the different modules cover a huge range of topics such as hypothermia, man overboard, helicopter rescue, rigging and preparing for a storm, preparing a safety plan, communications and coordination, and distress signals, just to name a few. Breaking up the information overload of the classroom sessions were small-group exercises designed to inspire practical applications and discussions about how best to respond to a real-world scenario. Beyond the theoretical, students are also required to light flares, repack lifejackets and safety gear, and cut away steel rigging, all with the emphasis on finding what works best for everyone’s different challenges. At the end of Day One, we broke out of the classroom and headed up the road to the University of British Columbia pool. This wasn’t just a jump off the high dive, but one of the most enlightening training experiences I’ve ever taken part in. First we donned our gear. All of it. The recommendation is to swim how you sail, so full foul weather pants, spray tops, coats, and boots were the same as if we were on the boat. To kick things off and warm everyone up, the next instruction was to leave the lifejackets on the bench and get into the water, fully dressed, with no flotation. Swim a lap and then you begin to understand how much work it quickly becomes to move around in heavy, wet weather gear. Climbing out of the pool with waterproof gear full of water is no small task either, requiring the opening of all the straps and gaskets normally used to keep the water out, but now holding it all in. The next step after trying to free swim in all your gear was donning a life jacket, without crotch or leg straps, and getting back into the water. The difference is instantaneous with the

Combined with thousands more taking equivalent courses oﬀered elsewhere, the change in “Safety Culture” is dramatic. As boats get faster, lighter, and more powerful, the decision-making timelines are shorter and emergencies quickly spiral out of control. New technologies make communication and coordination easier than ever and personal AIS beacons, EPIRB modules, Digital Selective Calling VHF radios, and satellite phones are commonplace aboard. While great tools are available, there is no magic wand that replaces good decision making. I walked out of the course understanding that proper training, preparation, and practice is the only way to properly mitigate

the risks we accept by taking part in this sport. I would go as far to say a Safety at Sea course should be a requirement for anyone planning to take part in coastal or oﬀshore sailing.

P RTS OF CALL

Port Moody, British Columbia Words & Photos: Eva Seelye Nestled in the Canadian Cascades at the eastern end of the shallow-sided Burrard Inlet is Port Moody, just 45 minutes from Vancouver, deemed the City of the Arts. While surrounded by nature, Port Moody offers an intriguing mix of commercial, industrial, natural, and residential elements. Seals sunbathe on log booms, high rises are incorporated into the mountain skyline, and an oil refinery sits across from beaches rich with shellfish. Here, development meets wilderness. Port Moody was once in the running to be British Columbia's capital when it became the original Pacific terminus of the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The first passenger train plowed through the mountains in 1885, loaded with passengers from Montreal who were eager to buy up the profitable land. It was a great investment for a short time until CPR President William Cornelius Van Horne decided Port Moody was insufficient for expansion due to its narrow inlet, and continued the CPR line farther west to Vancouver. A handful of unsuccessful lawsuits from the heartbroken and angry community followed, but throughout the turmoil, the citizens of Port Moody found other ways to keep their economy alive, though not without difficulty. Its population remained stagnant until the early 1900s when the first oil refineries popped up. Today, Port Moody is home to roughly 34,000 people and is the smallest of the Canadian Tri-Cities, which also includes Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. It’s seen oil, steel, fur trading, shellfish, lumber, marine trade, and more come through town, but through the hustle and bustle of modernday life, art, culture, and the environment remain top priorities. Boaters can stay in the largest marina in British Columbia, Reed Point Marina, or cruise up and anchor off Rocky Point State Park in the Designated Anchor Area (DAA) to experience this historic town and surroundings by foot, bike, boat, or all the above.

82 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MARCH 2019

Nature Please With 35 percent of its land dedicated to green spaces, Port Moody has a good work/play balance. Rocky Point Park is among Port Moody’s most popular spots. Take advantage of the boat launch, keep your kids entertained at the water-focused playground and indulge in a scoop from Rocky Point Ice Cream before venturing down the popular Shoreline Trail, which will guide you through most of the Port’s nearly 35 miles of park. Across the inlet at the north end of the Shoreline Trail lies Old Mill State Park, resurrected out of the remnants of a fire-destroyed cedar mill. Orchard Park lies just beyond Old Mill, sandy beach and all. Bert Flinn Park is for the hikers, bikers, and wildlife connoisseurs thanks to its wetlands, but you can’t leave without taking a stroll along the longest recreational trail in the world; the Trans Canada Trail is a system consisting of hundreds of trails stretching coast to coast to coast (that’s right, from east to west to north) and a portion of it cuts through downtown Port Moody. You don’t want to miss it!

The City of the Arts “Port Moody, City of the Arts” greets you in blue and green upon entering, complementing the tones of its surroundings. Here, art is not only accessible, but celebrated. Over 50 public art pieces of many mediums are splattered throughout the city limits. From murals and mosaics to street furniture and mobile art, there’s much to experience. Download the Public Art Map at portmoody.ca to guide you through the town’s colorful and creative culture. Port Moody Arts Centre is a must-see activity for the creative types. It’s a non-profit dedicated to the development of literary, performing, and visual arts in Port Moody and committed to bringing positive art experiences to the community. Feast your eyes on the contemporary gallery showcasing local, national, and international artists, and check out their website to see if you’ll be around for one of their many community and fundraising events. Staying for a while? Take one of their 380 classes for those itching to try their hand in practically any artform imaginable. From ceramics and theater to media and music, art is at your fingertips.

On Water Fun Land exploration is definitely a hoot, but some of Port Moody’s best kept secrets lie on the watery surface of its coastal fjord, so take advantage of your vessel and/or employ a kayak, stand up paddleboard, or dinghy of your own to discover this adventure-rich area. Don’t have a personal watercraft? Rent one from Rocky Point Kayak in the summer months. Paddle Rocky Point Park’s shallows, keeping an eye out for eagles and other local wildlife before exploring the Belcarra Regional Park’s Admiralty Point. Gaze upon the plentiful sea stars that dot the shore, hop in for a swim, or beach your ride and embark on one of the park’s many hikes. If you’re feeling bold, paddle up to Indian Arm, explore the nearby park islands, and spend the afternoon on Jug Island Beach. Then, circle around to catch the sunset at Barnet Marine Park before returning to Port Moody, but make sure to keep an eye out for residential wildlife along the way; bears, bobcats, cougars, coyotes, deer, duck, geese, raccoons, and skunks are common in these parts!

Boat Detailing FE ATURING TAM MAR A DIN KIN S OF SPL ASH N’ DETAIL

“Let the beauty we love be what we do.” – Jalal al-Din Rumi Let’s face it; when we look good, we feel good. Whether you’re fresh off the barber’s chair with a sharp new hair cut or just slipped into that little black dress saved for special occasions, it doesn’t do to neglect the aesthetic details when trying to put your best foot forward. What style and hygiene are to us, detailing is to our boats. Sure, we need to concern ourselves with keeping the boat afloat, the engine purring, sails in one piece, etc. But here in the Pacific Northwest, neglected boats don’t just look bad, they grow moss! While the do-it-yourself spirit is part of what makes boat ownership an adventure, there’s a lot more to proper boat detailing than the occasional brush and hose treatment. Doing it right is a whole job unto itself, precious hours you may want to spend enjoying your ride. Our area is fortunate to have many businesses completely devoted to keeping your boat looking its best, often at reasonable prices. Look at it this way; a reliable boat detailer will always be cheaper than having to get a new paint job because a gelcoat was damaged through neglect. To explore the nuances of boat detailing, we turn to professional Tammara Dinkins, founder and owner of Elliott Bay-based Splash N’ Detail. She shares some of her hard-won experience gleaned from over 20 years in the business with plenty of useful insights.

Tammara Dinkins Tammara Dinkins always had a passion for the ocean, and even earned a biological oceanography degree at the University of Washington. After realizing oceanography entailed more lab than on-water time, she explored other careers. “One of my early jobs was working for Bake’s Marine Center in Issaquah in the early 90s,” recalls Dinkins. She was the first woman to complete the Malibu Boats technical training in Merced, California. Dinkins had been detailing cars on the side to pay for her travel adventures and one of the technicians recommended she detail boats for the service customers. “I was living aboard a 34’ 1968 Youngquist wooden powerboat at the time. Once a few of my neighbors found out what I was doing, I was detailing all weekend.” The rest is history. Dinkins lives aboard a Columbia Motorsailer with her husband and 10-year-old son.

NWY: Boat detailing is a pretty big umbrella term. How would you define detailing in the context of boating? This is a good question. Detailing refers more to the polishing and waxing side of a yacht’s maintenance. When we do a full detail, the yacht is getting a wash, then a polish and wax, the metal polished, the vinyl cleaned and conditioned, the nooks and crannies cleaned, etc. NWY: What are your most common boat detailing projects and why do you think that is? Our most common detailing projects are full details. Our clientele is meticulous and want their yachts to maintain that “like new” shine year-round. The reason for this is not just to look good either. When you have a good protective coat on the exterior finish, the yacht is easier to clean. It also keeps the finish from degrading in the UV (sunlight) and other elements. Boats that never get waxed actually start to lose microlayers of gelcoat. Overtime, the gelcoat will get to a non-restorable point and have to be painted. This can decrease the value of the yacht when it comes time to sell it. Another reason why detailing is important is that it puts a second set of eyes on your vessel that may catch things that the owner has not seen. For example, we find loose screws in railings, stress cracks in the finish, or rigging that may

even need more than a polish or cleaning. NWY: What does a comprehensive professional wash and interior clean look like? What are the steps involved and how does it differ from an amateur job? A professional wash job is one where wash mitts are used on all areas within reach. Small detail brushes are used to clean crevices and around stanchions and drains. A soft blue brush is used to clean hard-to-reach areas and a brush with stiffer bristles is used for non-skid deck areas. If it is not raining, of course, surfaces are squeegeed and shammied and dried to prevent water spotting. An amateur job is taking a brush and just brushing off the dirt and rinsing off the boat. Brushes don’t really get the surface as clean as a microfiber wash mitt. They can also scratch the surface if used improperly. A professional interior clean on a runabout includes deep cleaning the vinyl cushions and conditioning them. All cushions are pulled up and compartments are cleaned underneath. Carpets are shampooed, and synthetic flooring is cleaned really well. Dashes are cleaned with a variety of small brushes to get dirt and dust out from around gauges and vents, behind steering columns, and in cup holders. Windows are cleaned and buffed inside and out, and smooth finishes are coated with the appropriate protectants. On yachts with full cabins, staterooms, and galleys, the interior is cleaned with house-

hold cleaners (preferably more organic or natural cleaners like Mrs. Meyers). Carpets, rugs, and upholstery can be steam cleaned or shampooed upon request, otherwise they are vacuumed. Heads are cleaned with the appropriate cleaners. We always ask if the yacht has an onboard sewage treatment system since normal head cleaners cannot be used in these systems. Shower stalls and fixtures are sometimes polished, in addition to being cleaned. Windows are cleaned inside and out with a non-ammonia window cleaner. We like the Spray Away brand. You can find it at Fred Meyer or Costco and most major grocery or hardware stores. Floor boards are pulled up where possible and cleaned underneath. Wood surfaces are all wiped down. We have a few varieties of wood cleaners we use, depending on the finish. For high gloss finishes we use a vinegar water mix to avoid leaving any oily residue. Murphy’s (Oil Soap) Wood Cleaners are good on matte finishes. Guardsman makes a wood conditioner with UV additives that is popular as well. NWY: Polishing and waxing can be a complicated business with different materials and compounds to consider. What are some pro tips when it comes to polishing and waxing? What factors are considered? It is a bit overwhelming as a consumer standing in front of the myriad of polishes and waxes that profess to miraculously restore your yacht’s finish. Every detailer has their favorite mix that works for them. I will say there is not a miracle product out there, that I know of, that does not require some elbow grease to get professional results. I have been a 3M fan since day one. Their compounds really get the job done and have

It's real work to make it shine. Before detail (left) and after (right).

Splash N’ Detail Dinkins started Splash N’ Detail in 2002 as a full-service company for the cosmetic maintenance of any vessel ranging from 8’ to 150’. They provide wash programs for the exterior of the yacht, polishing and waxing services, canvas cleaning and waterproofing, engine room detailing, and interior cleaning.

been proven in the automobile industry and the marine industry. Most professional yacht painters that I know use their products to do the final polish on a paint job. One-step cleaner waxes have their use in the detailer’s tool box and can make a finish look okay for a while. We rarely use one-step products and when we do, we are usually using them in between the fall and spring details to get scuff marks off or remove exhaust residue. If you do use them, they still should be followed with a genuine carnauba or polymer protective coating. When we polish out a yacht, we almost always use a polish first, like Finesse-it II or Perfect-It finishing compound, depending on the condition of the finish, before we apply the wax. What makes detailing an art is that there is not a recipe that works across the board for every boat. We have a variety of compounds that we use depending on the condition of the boat. If the boat is really oxidized, it may require two or three levels of compound before the final polish, and then the wax. If you want to maintain your own finish, I recommend talking to a professional company like ours and get some recommendations for your boat. If you have a boat that is severely oxidized, I would hire a professional to restore the

finish for you, then you can carry on the maintenance from there. NWY: Can you recommend a weekly, monthly, and annual “to do” or “chore list” that boaters should consider when it comes to detailing? Most of our clients have us wash their boats once a month and get detailed annually. The clients that want their yacht in top shape have us wash the boat every other week and we wax the entire yacht annually and then do another wax on the superstructure (deck up) about six months later. A few have us wax the entire boat twice a year. We strive to meet the individual needs of our clients and create a program that works for them. In addition to the waxing and washing, canvas should be cleaned and waterproofed annually or at least every two years. Canvas enclosures are expensive and if maintained, can last up to ten years before full replacement is necessary. Engine rooms and bilges should be cleaned annually as well. Whether you do this yourself or hire it out, it helps the owner see if anything unusual is going on. It is better to see leaks, check hoses, and, of course, keep nasties from entering our environment. NWY: Teak is about as beautiful as it comes but the maintenance intimidates a lot of boaters. What are your thoughts about teak and what it takes to keep it gorgeous? Teak is beautiful, but it is high maintenance. It has to be constantly cleaned in our damp Pacific Northwest environment. Annual cleaning with a mild teak cleaner is best. In my 19 years in the industry, I have learned that everyone from mega-yacht captains to small sailboat owners have a different method for maintaining teak.

Only one rule is steadfast, and that is you do not scrub raw teak with the grain or with stiff brushes. Use a Scotch-Brite™ and go against the grain of the wood. If you do have to go with the grain, go very lightly. If you want that gorgeous blonde look, you will have to use cleaners that are harsher and can wear the teak down faster than leaving the deck to gray out. Avoid letting the teak get green to the point where actual moss and lichens are growing in it. The usual winter green of the Pacific Northwest should be cleaned every spring. Teakdecking Systems makes a nice eco-friendly cleaner. It will leave the teak a nice natural brown, not blonde, but it works well and won’t hurt more sensitive paint finishes. NWY: What does an engine room detailing project look like? Why is it important? Engine room detailing involves cleaning the bilges, replacing oil absorbs, wiping down hoses, wiping down the engines, generators, walls, ceilings, etc. This is a very time consuming task. NWY: What do you enjoy most about your job? The people we work for are great. I love taking an older finish and turning it into a “like new” finish and seeing the joy on the owner’s face. It is hard, backbreaking work but very rewarding. We are always busy. April and May are the real crazy months. Most people think they are ahead of the game if they are calling us in May. We start scheduling our clients that have been with us for many years six months ahead of when they want the boat done. They have priority as well as our partners at Pacific Yacht Management. We have a good crew and are always looking for new talent to join!

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein

final say, listening and communicating with the crew allows everyone to take personal investment and ownership of the trip. An invested crew is a happy, productive crew. You’ll have lots of help cleaning both the fish and the boat when you get back to the dock. And speaking of docking…just relax and everyone will relax. Take your time getting back into the slip. As far as angler opportunities, bottom fishing off the Washington coast will start on the second Saturday this month in most areas. This means tasty rockfish of many varieties and lingcod. When weather permits, this can be a very fun and productive opportunity. Many areas

of Puget Sound and British Columbia should be putting out some nice winter/spring Chinook as well. I’ve seen some 20- to 30-pound early fish come across the decks this time of year. The days will be getting longer and the Arctic blast we saw in February should be behind us. The rivers in our region will be kicking out spring Chinook and steelhead as well. We may see some very high flows this month as all that snow comes off the mountains. But, when that water starts to drop, the fish go on the bite. Until next month, be safe, have fun, and go put some fish in the boat!

Kevin’s Pick: PRO-TROLL FISHING PRODUCTS Founded in 1978, Pro-Troll products are innovations in fish catching technology. Owner Dick Pool has been the leader of technology-driven advancements in the science of getting salmon to strike. From the Black Box voltage regulation system to the EChip electrical discharge flasher, they make a good day happen for many an angler. I’ve used their flashers for many years and have had great success. Pro-Troll has a lot more products to offer than that. Check out the whole line up at protroll.com.

Kids especially can take a lot of patience from the captain and crew to make their day on the water enjoyable. However, patience pays off in big smiles and lasting memories for future hardcore anglers.

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

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

North Paciﬁc Expeditions: Kenai Cruising By Evin Moore

Starting in spring 2019, a new Mukilteo, Washington-based charter company, North Pacific Expeditions, will be one of the few in the world to oﬀer crewed small ship charters to Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. Branded as North Pacific Expeditions in 2016, the company was founded by Erik and Aspin Teevin to share the beauty of Southcentral Alaska with boaters. Erik worked as a captain in the commercial fishing industry and it was while skippering the F/V North American in Prince William Sound that he fell in love with the area. The Kenai cruise will explore the coves of the Kenai Fjord National Park with stops to observe the abundant wildlife and ancient glaciers. Due to frequent strong weather and distant locale, the Kenai Peninsula is rarely explored by other boaters, giving the location a truly remote quality. The charter will cover the southwest corner of the peninsula, with Seward and Homer bookending the journey.

Guests will cruise on the M/V Sea Star, a recently retrofitted 1965 85’ Burger Boat. At the time of this writing, the Sea Star is undergoing a final haul out in Anacortes. The cruise is skippered by Captain Erik Teevin with First Mate Tracy Meyer. Meyer is a former U.S. Navy Surface Warfare Oﬃcer who also qualified as an Oﬃcer of the Deck to operate large vessels in ocean conditions. “Thisisour first season with clients and we’re filling berths with people from all over the world,” says Meyer. “It’s very exciting. We’re all juggling our day jobs to make this dream a reality!” Meyer serves as mate and naturalist on board and is also a qualified Wilderness First Responder and Alaska Certified Expert. The charter will also have a deckhand and chef, making the experience rugged in so far as the wild location but luxury in terms of guest accommodations. Interested?

That’s not a dig on sloops, it’s a fine setup, but if we ever lose our production ketches and yawls, then the nautical world will be poorer for it. Enter the Hinckley Sou’wester 42’, a fine example of a Maine-made yawl that is a textbook head-turner.

83’ Burger Burger is a name we see less often on the West Coast, so when a gorgeous, 100’-length-overall Burger yacht plies past in Puget Sound, there can be a certain mystique about it. The name Burger rightfully invokes a rich history of American boatbuilding, a continuous working line of builders dating back to 1863 when Henry Burger—who immigrated from Germany with his family at age seven— founded the H. Burger Shipyard on the western shore of Lake Michigan, primarily making 20’ to 30’ Mackinaw fishing boats.

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

Interested in sharing your Pacific Northwest maritime adventures in Spyglass?

We pick our favorites and publish them right here every month.

Seattle Boat Show Glory: A boater, her dog, and the Seattle Boat Show. The perfect day?

Shiny New Toys: Among the many eye-grabbing new boat toys was the Seabob, a high powered ride in a compact package.

South Lake Union, Boat Style: The Seattle Boat Show’s in-water portion at South Lake Union was quite the sight to behold. The secondary Bell Harbor in-water location was missed by some, but was closed due to Alaskan Way Viaduct closure concerns. We’ll see if Bell Harbor rejoins the show next year.

NWY in BC: We always have fun delivering magazines to new places! NWY graced the entrance of the Vancouver International Boat Show this year. Hope to do so in years to come!

Canadian Sailor To-Be: This boat show attendee had the right idea at the Vancouver International Boat Show.

NWY Cleans Up in Miami: Our managing editor Norris Comer won two Boat Writers International awards, presented at the Miami International Boat Show. Comer won second place in the Lifestyle category for the Flotilla Freedom feature (September issue) and third place in Technology for his Love me Tender feature (March issue). Firsts, but hopefully not lasts, for NWY’s 32 years of independent marine journalism!

Gondola Shot: Gig Harbor Gondola is gliding through winter “the glassy way.” Add some hot chocolate and that looks like ultimate relaxation to us! Thanks for sharing @gigharborgondola!

Miami Heat: A view from the free ferry to Key Biscayne, location of the Miami International Boat Show this year.

Most Energized Yacht Club: It’s no secret that the Des Moines Yacht Club won our inaugural Northwest Marine Champion Award for Most Energized Yacht Club. They showed us just how energized they are by flash mobbing our Northwest Yachting booth at the Seattle Boat Show. Cue Queen’s We are the Champions, way to be DMYC!

10.

White Winter: This picture from February is an homage to the “Snowpocalypse” that hit much of Puget Sound with several inches of snow. This photo was taken by James Murry near Anacortes, Washington.

11.

Fishy First Place: The 2019 Roche Harbor Salmon Classic first prize winners took the $12,000 purse in Viking style. Skål!

12.

East of the Mountains: Our editor ended up at a whopping four boat shows this month, including the not-to-beoverlooked Spokane Boat Show.

13.

Inland Waters: The Spokane Boat Show features some great boats made for the river and lake lifestyle. New Sea-doos too!

14.

Crab-tastic Adventure: Aaron was going on hour 72 at this point in Washington’s 2019 commercial crab season. Either the catch was epic, or it really is as fun as he makes it look. Thanks for sending, Aaron (@aaronstroosma)! Photo taken by Kurt Barry.

15.

Tactical Taste: The Vancouver International Boat Show’s inwater Granville Island Marina section was full of eye candy. These boat show goers were literally on their toes taking in the scenery, especially when it came to the Tactical T40.
