FROM THE HELM

Autumn Opportunity

I was at the recent Boats Afloat Show on South Lake Union in the wheelhouse of a Prestige 750 being sold by Sundance Yacht Sales when fall officially hit me over the head. There I was, watching a cloudless sunset and minding Norris Comer my own business, when the first chill of an autumn breeze tickled the back of my neck. Next thing I knew, the leaves were red, sweaterwearing coffee addicts were lining up for pumpkin spice lattes, and sailors were trading their beer coozies and flip-flops for foulies and insulated mugs. In a flash, the cruisers came home to roost, flush with stories of the San Juan Islands, the Inside Passage, and beyond. Other cruisers took one look at the cooling weather and the rain forecast, and immediately cast off the dock lines on a southerly bearing to California, Hawaii, or Mexico. What I like to call “industry season” also pounced, with boating expos from the West Coast to Florida filling up my calendar. Autumn is undeniably now. Like every season, the fall has its own unique set of pros. For starters, now is a great time to knock out those boat projects that will free you from the dock come summer 2018. To aid you in this endeavor, we offer a feature, In Praise of the DIY Boatyard, about the many joys of working on your own boat in a Pacific Northwest boatyard, still a viable option despite the industry’s trend at large to eliminate do-it-yourself options. Additionally, if you’re sick of dealing with fiberglass, our feature about the characteristics of aluminum, Aluminum, A Boater’s Best Friend?, may prove useful.

Publisher Michelle Zeasman-Gibbon michelle@nwyachting.com

However, fall also comes with its share of cons, including rougher weather. If you follow U.S. Coast Guard news at all, you will assuredly hear more stories of harrowing rescues, especially on the Washington and Oregon Paciﬁc coasts. It is in the spirit of heroism and heritage that we oﬀer our feature A Guardian Reborn about the refurbished Coast Guard Motor Life Boat #36391 that’s once again plying Northwest waters, restored, owned, and skippered by the son of a coastie who served on the very same vessel when it was in service. Let’s hope the old gal doesn’t have to roll up her sleeves for any Good Samaritan rescues this season. Stay safe! A feature by yours truly (The Champs) highlights the inspiring racing power couple Libby and Jonathan McKee, who recently won the Tasar World Championship in Japan while also juggling careers and two kids. Talk about relationship goals! We’re also flexing our new Instagram and YouTube muscles, as well as eagerly accepting photo submissions for our new Spyglass picture gallery (page 101) and classic Pets on Boats (pg. 95) departments. Click, like, share, submit, email, snail mail, hashtag… there are a lot of trendy verbs, but you get the idea. Autumn is ripe with opportunity for the Pacific Northwest boater, whether you’re chasing wind, tackling a maintenance to-do list, or love your local Oktoberfest. Who knows, my boat is overdue for a bottom job and you may see me at one of the local yards soon enough with a sander in one hand and a pumpkin spice latte in the other. Happy Boating!

He was involved in early trimaran development, then joined Major H.W. Tilman for a voyage to the Arctic in 1971. He came to the United States in 1972 and has only built one more multihull, a small open trimaran that he cruised to Alaska twice in the 1980s, plus a 1986 voyage on the Great Lakes. He described those voyages in his first stories for Northwest Yachting magazine. He has lived in Astoria since 2002. Read many of his stories at www.sea-to-summit.net

Go Pink!

Dressing up pink is an important part of the fundraiser/regatta. (photo: Jan Anderson).

The annual Pink Boat Regatta raises $324,000 By Doug Hansen

The now annual Pink Boat regatt a (named for the pink decorations of particpating sailboats) is one part fundraiser, one part sailboat race, and one part party, but the whole is far greater than the sum. Partnered with the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the regatta is now in its sixth year and has raised over $324,000 for breast cancer research. The event’s mission statement is clear and direct and the event has grown to support this goal: “We fuel smart research to develop new paths for breast cancer prevention and a cure. This turns cancer patients into survivors, buys precious time, and improves lives.” The Event kicked things oﬀ with a Gala Dinner on Friday September 8 held at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center at Pier 66 in downtown Seattle. With sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains, this combination

auction, raﬄe, and dinner sets the tone for a weekend of fun and fundraising. The regatta followed the next day on September 9 bringing boats out of the woodwork to do their part. The racecourse followed the familiar Duck Dodge route, with boats crisscrossing Lake Union working from the north to south end around the marks. Stiﬀ winds made for fast paced action on the water and exciting rounding at the top and bottom of the racecourse. With boats ranging from the Santana 20 Fraid Knot to the TransPac 52 Glory the event welcomed anyone who wants to take part. The scoring in this regatta is unlike anything else, for racers earned points for each buoy rounded during a set time limit. Racers and sponsors had the option to “cheat” by buying extra buoys for $100 each to gain a leg up on the competition. In addition to the on-the-water fundraising,

much of the money raised was directly from race crews, family, and friends. The Seattle Sailing Club sponsored J/105 Puﬀ brought in a staggering $13,803 along with several others fundraising boats well over the $5,000 mark. The Seattle Cancer Alliance is a network of Seattle-area research institutions that includes the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center, Seattle Children's Hospital, and the University of Washington School of Medicine. To learn more about what they all do, check out seattlecca.org. The success of this year's race bodes well for future iterations of the fundraiser regatta. For complete rankings (both fundraising and racing) of the 2017 event and additional information to join in the fun next year, check out pinkboatregatta.org.

Canada Eases Border Crossing for Boaters The Canadian Parliament has passed the Conveyance Presentation and Report Requirements Modernization Act (Bill S-233), sponsored by Canadian Senator Bob Runciman and Member of Parliament Gord Brown. The act changes the requirement for boaters reporting to Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers only when they anchor or arrive on Canadian shores, instead of whenever they enter Canadian waters. Bill S-233 received Royal Assent on June 19, 2017. This development is a sigh of relief to many boaters both in the Pacific Northwest and Great Lakes, for the complexity of the US-Canadian boundary over the water makes it difficult to know which country you are in. Prior to the passage of the new law, American boaters were required to call Canadian Customs to check

Semiahmoo near Blaine is a popular destination for both U.S. and Canadian boaters. Being just minutes from the border, the new legislation makes it easier to pop up to British Columbia in conjunction with a visit. Great Lakes boaters also benefit. in with their passport number, boat registration, and express their intentions and timeline for entering Canadian waters. “The reporting requirements were overly rigid, they were out of step with those facing Canadians who enter U.S. waters, and they were hurting the economy of tourism-dependent border regions. And they didn’t do anything to enhance border security,” said Sen. Runciman when asked why the rule change was important. The sentiments of Sen. Runciman appear to be echoed on the U.S. side as well. According a press release from State Senator Patricia A. Ritchie (R-Heuvelton) who worked with Canadian colleagues to support the bill, boaters from the US “who do not anchor their boat or step foot on Canadian soil do not have to report to Canadian customs… In addition, the measure will also exempt Canadian boaters from being required to report to their customs officials when they return to Canadian waters, as long as they met the same requirements while they traveled in U.S. waters.” Will the ease of border regulations translate to more international boating? We shall see, but the poutine of the north just feels that much closer. More info is available at parl.ca (search for Bill S-233).

Environment

Ecology Penalties Posted Washington boaters take note, for the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) recently posted the summary of environmental penalties over $1,000 that were issued during second quarter of 2017. The total amount issued was $50,000 through the months of April to June of 2017. You can see the complete listing of penalties at ecy.wa.gov. The cited violations are worth studying, especially if you are a boat owner, marina manager, or work in the maritime industry. Penalties range from an appealed $2,000 fine on the Port of Tacoma for allowing “ship repair work on port property without the required permits and best management practices to prevent stormwater contamination, and discharges of pollutants” to a grounding of the commercial vessel Privateer that resulted in the release of 3,465 gallons of fuel (fine of $7,000). Penalties are issued in cases where non-compliance continues after Ecology has provided technical assistance or warnings, or for particularly serious violations. The money owed from penalties may be reduced from the issued amount due to settlement or court rulings. Funds collected go to the state’s general fund or to dedicated pollution prevention accounts.

Invincible Crew Awarded Heroism Award

The crew of the Invincible get ready to head into the night at Grays Harbor.

For the U.S. Coast Guard, saving lives is just another day at the office. On September 13, the Coast Guard Foundation – a non-profit organization committed to the education and welfare of all U.S. Coast Guard members and their families – awarded the crew of the 52’ motor lifeboat Invincible of Station Grays Harbor with the 2017 Pacific Northwest Coast Guard Foundation Heroic Action Award. Notable to Invincible’s record is a harrowing rescue on October 6, 2016 involving the sailboat Grace that was en route to San Francisco when it was overcome by a ferocious storm. As Station Grays Harbor’s primary responding crew was dispatched on another search and rescue case, crew BMC Brant Soderlund, BMC Jeremy Culican, MK1 Kevin Trapp, and BM2 Jacob Hylkema were recalled to the Grays Harbor station while off-duty. Demonstrating exceptional respon-

siveness, Invincible was dispatched in 14’ to 16’ seas with winds gusting to 55 knots. While anxiously awaiting assistance, Grace sustained damage and was unable to steer or maintain heading. Displaying exceptional ingenuity, the Invincible crew devised a plan to have the solo sailor onboard don an immersion suit and abandon ship using a life ring from the Invincible with tending lines attached. Moving swiftly into action, the Invincible crew passed over a strobe light and the life ring with a heaving line. Exhausted and disoriented, the sailor entered the water without removing the heaving line from the life ring and his legs quickly became wrapped in the line that had entangled itself in the sailing vessel’s rigging. Immediately recognizing the situation, Hylkema selﬂessly volunContinued on Page 20

teered to go to the man’s aid. According to reports, he yelled to Soderlund, “I need to go!” and the coxswain maneuvered Invincible closer to the drowning man. Hylkema entered the water without hesitation and swam over 150 feet through the breaking seas without gear or tending line. Soderlund closed the distance while Culican and Trapp tended lines as waves continued to crash over the people in the water and the deck of the Invincible. Possessing minimal rescue swimmer training, Hylkema swam to the man in the water and used a knife to cut him free. He then courageously held the exhausted man above water as Culican and Trapp pulled them back to the boat. “The brave men and women of the United States Coast Guard are

always ready to put themselves in harm’s way to protect those in need,” said Susan Ludwig, president of the Coast Guard Foundation, in a press release. “The courageous actions of the crew of the Invincible are proof that the outcome of this particular event could easily have turned into tragedy.” As rougher fall weather sets in, Paciﬁc Northwest boaters should take extra safety precautions, as well as thank our servicemen and women on the water whenever they get the chance.

C.C. van Wieringen's Spanish Armada off the English Coast.

Scurvy by Stephen R. Bown By Greg Van Belle

It’s a running joke onboard our boat as we stock the fridge with limes for evening cocktails that we are staving off scurvy. We have a related joke about the quinine in tonic water and our brave battle against malaria here in Seattle. What makes the scurvy joke actually tragic is that our “cure” for the disease is the actual cure for the disease. If 18th century merchant mariners and naval captains had known and had been able to carry stores of citrus onboard, scurvy would never have become a problem, and the world would be a very different place. Stephen R. Bown’s book Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner, and a Gentleman Solved the Greatest Medical Mystery of the Age of Sail is a part nautical history, part scientific treatise, and part medical detective story. Those combine to make for a very enjoyable onboard read. Bown opens by showing readers the truly horrific conditions aboard 18th century sailing ships (and the equally horrific conditions on land for most of the sailors pressed into service). Piece by piece, he sets the table on the way to explaining how the nature of seafaring, the competition among naval forces, and the quest

and flawed conclusions. As men were dying of scurvy – essentially a massive vitamin C deficiency – captains and surgeons tried nothing at first, convinced that it was merely the unavoidable result of life at sea. Then, in part due to the pressure posed by dwindling crews and unwilling recruits, they began to throw everything they could think of at the problem: bloodletting, sea water, malt, and lemon juice, for example. In the mix of these “cures” was the real solution, but the inconclusive results of their treatment kept the actual cause of scurvy a mystery for decades. The role scurvy played in the military and economic history of the Age of Sail cannot be underplayed. Magellan’s circumnavigation almost wasn’t completed due to a crew ravaged by scurvy. The Spanish Armada’s attack on England failed in large part because of the disease. It could be argued that had one of the major naval powers discovered the cure and managed to keep it to themselves, that power could have taken over the world in the 1700s. But every country’s naval forces were ravaged by scurvy, which kept the battlefields relatively level. Interestingly, profit-minded companies like the Dutch East India Company, absent the redundant bureaucracy of military operations, were more willing and motivated to solve the problem. As early as the 1620s, the Dutch were carrying casks of lemon water onboard their ships to keep their crews healthy. Of course, this proved expensive, so the company switched to an oil and herb cocktail only to have their crews once again decimated by scurvy. Had this been more of a controlled study instead of a case of a company trying

Had one of the major naval powers discovered the cure and managed to keep it to themselves, that power could have taken over the world in the 1700s. to unlock faraway lands all conspired to keep the diagnosis of scurvy and its subsequent cure just out of view, but right under everyone’s nose. As much as I am drawn to narratives about sailing ships of old and tales of men like Captain Cook, what drives this book is the failure of the medical community, as it were, to apply any sort of scientiﬁc method to solving the biggest medical mystery on the open ocean. It is a slow motion case study in masking variables 24 NORTHWEST YACHTING || OCTOBER 2017

to make a profit, the disease might have been stamped out by 1630. Explorers and captains kept stumbling upon the cure for scurvy as they sailed the world. When sick sailors went ashore in the tropics they almost instantly showed signs of improvement. Captains attributed this to the tropical air or the fresh water. The official cause of the scurvy was variably determined to be an infection of the blood, idleness, poor diet, and airborne pathogens. Any discovery by a captain that was contrary to the current official statements on the disease was discounted as contrary to the conventional thinking. For years upon years, ships were crewed by undernourished sailors with a complete lack of fresh food in their diets. Scurvy just kept killing, despite the relatively simple solution. It’s easy to say now that they should have just carried lemon juice or limes or oranges onboard sailing ships. Bown’s book carefully shows the frustrating reality of life at sea in the 1700s that created the circumstances that made the disease so intractable. Beginning with the simple lack of refrigeration and continuing through brutal captains’ rationing meager stores, scurvy kept haunting the sailing ships plying the world’s oceans. This story is ultimately about how surgeon James Lind, Captain James Cook, and a gentleman named Gilbert Blane worked separately to eliminate scurvy. Differently motivated, the three men each reached the same conclusions, and collectively solved the greatest medical mystery of the Age of Sail. Bown is one of the best nautical history writers out there, and this book is engaging, interesting, and rewarding. It illuminates our own modern tug of war between science and faith and it shows how easily fact and fiction become intertwined to create common perceptions.

Hydrographic Surveying in Puget Sound By Greg Van Belle

Everett Marina looks great in these calm waters, but a glassy surface can hide many hazards.

At mean tide, our boat sits in her slip with about ten feet of water under the keel. At least she used to. Over the last couple of years, the water has become a little shallower. A few boats on our dock can barely get in and out of their slip at low tide anymore, as the marina slowly but surely ﬁlls with silt. Earlier this summer the signs went up at all the gates: Notice to Dredge. The Puget Sound is a deep, fast moving maze of cold water, but everywhere a river or stream empties into it, everywhere currents meet and clash, and everywhere a bay comes to its head, suspended sediment falls to the sea ﬂoor. It just so happens that many marinas and navigation channels are prone to silting and must be actively managed to maintain navigable depths. To get our marina back to its reported depth will require the removal of 137,750 cubic yards of material. To put this into some perspective, your typical pick-up bed holds two cubic yards. Briefly after seeing the signs informing boaters of the dredging, I noticed a small inflatable with several GPS antennae slowly and methodically work-

ing its way among the docks and boats. Laden with electronics, this turned out to be a workboat from Pacific Geomatic Services (PGS), the Mountlake Terracebased company tasked with mapping the seafloor of the marina both before and after the dredging operation. If you have spent any time on the water in the Puget Sound you have seen the results of this mapping work, if not the work itself. It is the sort of invisible task that is constantly happening to keep our waters safe and navigable. The reason those channels you navigate are as deep as they are supposed to be and the reason those buoys are located where the chart says they are is in part because companies like PGS are constantly at work locating, mapping, and monitoring our waterways. Paciﬁc Geomatic Services has performed marine navigation surveys throughout the region including marinas in Olympia, Tacoma, Des Moines, Seattle, Poulsbo, Edmonds, Everett, Oak Harbor, and Anacortes. They also recently set positioning for new navigational aids throughout the region ranging from Olympia to

the San Juan Islands. Anytime you set a course or make a turn at a nun buoy, you are benefiting from the work marine mapping firms do. Ron Hilliard, president of Pacific Geomatic Services (PGS), walked me through their equipment and the results they get from the data collected during a survey. With all the advances in recreational marine electronics, the line between your sonar or fishfinder and those used by professionals in the mapping industry is increasingly thin. PGS employs a variety of single-beam and multi-beam echo sounders along with commercial grade GPS locating to develop accurate maps of the seafloor. In confined places like marinas, multi-beam sonar allows the surveyors to “see” under boats and docks, where a typical down-looking, single-beam sonar cannot. Mappers also need the ability to fine tune their equipment, as they are often working in tight channels, shallow water, or around structures and boats. On the water with Hilliard’s crew as they mapped one of the basins at the Everett Marina, I was overwhelmed by the amount of data being collected. I was equally interested when they pulled out a lead line: the most old-fashioned depth sounder possible. Using the lead line on occasion allows the crew to determine the accuracy of the electronics. We slowly motored around the basin, following a grid pattern, capturing images of the bottom as we went. The end result is a detailed map of the sea floor, showing sediment build up, low spots, and other anomalies. This year, PGS will map the entire Everett Marina. The data and imagery collected will help

Hydrographic Surveys in Puget Sound Continued from Page 27

tion to the dredging operation’s estimates, the post-dredge survey is used to determine how much material has been removed. It’s easy to forget that the Puget Sound is constantly shifting and changing. To maintain safe navigation channels and ensure that navigational aids are where they are supposed to be, companies like PGS are out there trying to keep up with the changes. Left alone, buoys would shift, channels would silt in, and charts would become obsolete very quickly. Like most things, once you notice a survey vessel, with its multiple GPS antennae and other electronics, slowly plodding around a channel or marina entrance, you will start to see them everywhere. I asked Hilliard if he had anything recreational boaters should know about their work. Ideally, he said,

his work is invisible and there is no impact to boaters. However, “boaters just need to realize that shoaling is regular and constant within the Puget Sound region and the work that hydrographic surveyors do is important to safe navigation in and around our waterways.” He also said, “It’s important to give any working vessel plenty of room to maneuver. Often, they are moving at low speed with reduced steerage. If a mapping vessel is forced to deviate from their planned course, it can mean lost data or dangerous conditions for the crew. If you see a survey crew out working, slow down, throw no wake, and give them space to work. Without them, your cruising grounds could become un-navigable in a hurry.”

Cocktail of the Month

Hot Mulled Cider We would be remiss if our cocktail of the month didn’t have something to do with apples and the fall. What’s better after a nippy day aboard than pulling into the marina and enjoying some hot mulled cider? The process of mulling is simple, for the term simply means to warm and add flavoring. If you’ve got a little extra stowage space and a stovetop burner on board, you’re in business.

Make it: • 1 gallon apple cider • 1/2 cup dry white wine (Chardonnay will do nicely) 1 • /4 cup honey • 2 broken cinnamon sticks • 4 cloves • 1 star anise • 1 rosemary sprig (optional, ideal for flavor) • 1/2 teaspoon grate lemon zest (optional, ideal for flavor) Directions: Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes. Strain the resulting concoction and discard the solids. Immediately serve warm to chilly crew for best results. We’re thirsty for more recipes, so send yours to editorial@nwyachting.com for a chance to appear in the next issue.

es t o N s s e n i s Bu Honda's New Jet Outboards

SailTime customers enjoying a day out near Baltimore, Maryland. Established 15 years ago, the program has now arrived in Seattle.

SailTime Arrives to Seattle Boat sharing is becoming a more common trend within the recreational boating sphere, and the opening of the ﬁrst SailTime Group LLC franchise by Peter Whiting, also a coowner of Seattle Yachts, is proof. Members of SailTime share the use of a professionally managed boat through the use of an online scheduling system, like many other boat share programs. A monthly membership fee covers the slip fees, maintenance, insurance, and operating costs. However, a unique element to SailTime is that “Owner Members” can essentially contribute their boat to the share pool to receive monthly income and additional membership benefits. For example, if

members only seasonally use their his or her boat during the summer, they can, in a sense, rent out the boat to fellow members for a kickback. What’s more, SailTime

is part of a significant network of sailing schools that are certified with American Sailing Association (ASA) and Royal Yachting Association (RYA) affiliates for those eager to become a pro. “Bringing a SailTime franchise to Seattle made good business sense and will allow so many new enthusiasts to experience the majesty of Seattle’s sailing scene,” Whiting said in a press release.

“SailTime pairs terrifically with the yacht dealership because of the opportunities to introduce locals through membership and offer a new income stream for boat owners who put their vessels in the program.” SailTime has been in business for 15 years and has over 28 bases in North America and five bases in Australia. If interested, check out sailtime.com for more information. The Seattle franchise with Seattle Yachts is located at 7001 Seaview Ave NW, Suite 150, Seattle. More info is available at seattleyachts.com.

Honda Marine has just announced three new jet outboard motors to their lineup, the Honda 40 Jet, 65 Jet, and 105 Jet. These jet drives are touted by the manufacturer to offer additional flexibility in shallow waters with the same dependable, quiet, fuel efficient benefits of traditional prop outboards. These outboards do not have a gearcase or propeller extending below the hull, giving them a low-profile foot design. “The launch of the new Honda 40 Jet, 65 Jet, and 105 Jet will power boats to shallows where prop engines can’t go,” said Will Walton, Assistan Vice President of Honda Marine in a press release. “These engines mark Honda’s entry into a new segment of the market.” If you’re on the market for an outboard but the traditional options don’t excite you, one of these new Honda Marine jet models may be the ticket.

Garmin in Federal Patent Case the DownVu technology utilizes a down-facing transducer to produce images in the water column directly beneath a boat. Rather than relying on a down-facing transducer, ClearVu utilizes side-scan sonar which in turn compiles and synthesizes data to produce the imagery. Despite the issue not being submitted to the jury by the judge, Garmin’s sonar design engineer did conﬁrm during the trial that the ClearVu technology could miss objects that are positioned directly beneath a user’s boat.

Duke and son John (left) Moscrip during construction in Bellevue.

Duke's Comes to Bellevue Duke’s Seafood & Chowder has recently opened at the Lincoln Square South expansion in Bellevue, Washington. The new upscale Bellevue location is 6,200 square feet with enough room for 210 guests. It will also be the ﬁrst location in the chain to serve oysters. There used to be a Duke’s location across from Bellevue Square in the late 70s to the early 90s, so for owner Duke Moscrip, the area is familiar ground. With the opening of the Bellevue location and the soon-to-be-broken ground of the future Duke’s location at Shilshole Bay locked down, the sustainable seafood focused Paciﬁc Northwest restaurant chain appears to be doing quite well. Duke’s also has locations in West Seattle, Green Lake, South Lake Union, Kent, Southcenter, and Tacoma. You can learn more at dukeschowderhouse.com.

Pacific Marine Expo Incoming The fall means the start of industry season in the Pacific Northwest, and the Pacific Marine Expo is one of the local mainstays. Hosted at the CenturyLink Field Event Center from November 16 through 18 this year, the extensive lineup is aimed primarily at the commercial side of the maritime sphere with a blend of professional and fun offerings. Notable installments to this year’s expo is keynote speaker Chris Oliver, the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries at that National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). Oliver will be speaking on November 16 at 1500 hours to discuss NOAA’s priorities moving forward and the importance of Alaskan and West Coast fisheries. For seafood fans, the Seattle Kitchen Radio show with the culinary talents of James Beard Award winners Tom Douglas and Thierry Rautureau will be a must. New to this year is the Alaska Hall, an area entirely devoted to Alaskan products and services. Don’t forget that the Fisherman’s Lounge and the Pacific Marine Expo Happy Hours are quality networking opportuni-

Letters

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

Downtown's Finest

Got Multihull?

Dear Michelle and Northwest Yachting, Now that we have wrapped up the 2017 Downtown Sailing Series we watned to say thank you for your involvement in Seattle’s greatest weekly event. We certainly could not do it without you and the success of this event is a reﬂection of the strength and support of our incredible sponsors. This year we saw unprecedented participation with an average of 75 boats, one night we even had 92! Your generous contributions helped support 10 weeks of creative nightly events and great prize packages for our sailors. On behalf of the boaters in Seattle, Elliott Bay Marina management, and staﬀ; thanks again for your participation and support.

Norris, First I want to thank you for Northwest Yachting magazine. It has been one of the glues that holds Northwest sailing together. I must say that I had to delay this email to you as I was more than a little upset that you, for whatever reason did not publish the multihull Swiftsure results in your report on Swiftsure this year. This is a small group of dedicated sailors but I felt they should have been recognized for their eﬀorts. There was an additional story of interest that I felt would have been worth mentioning as well in the Swiftsure report. The catamaran Dragonfly suffered a pitchpole in the 2015 Round the County Race after over 15 years and tens of thousands of miles of racing here in the Northwest. The boat suffered additional damage when a line used for righting her parted and the boat was considered a total loss. A dedicated crew and owner managed to bring her back to life and not only won her class at Swiftsure this year but was the first boat to finish. Remarkable story that would have been of interest to your readers and a "pat on the back" to a wonderful crew that exemplifies the sailing comradery that exists here in the Northwest.

Sincerely, Dwight Jones, General Manager and Brandon Baker, Harbormaster, Elliot Bay Marina Ed: Not only are we happy to help promote the Downtown Series, but we’re thrilled that participation continues to increase. You all at Elliott Bay Marina do a fantastic job and we’ve had plenty of fun on the water as part of the race, whether we’re motoring around on Michelle’s Bayliner as a press boat or hoping aboard a sailboat.

Past owner, Pat McGarry

Ed: We appreciate your passionate response, Pat. Please note that our sailing results are always prefaced with the disclaimer “Listed are selected standings” or something to that effect. As much as we’d love to highlight the accomplishments of all sailors and classes, we do have to keep our result listings in check due to space restraints. Additionally, thanks to the internet, instantly updated complete regatta listings are just a click away for most folks. Our monthly print cycle limits how timely our results can be. However, you are correct, multihulls are awesome! We love multihulls so much, we put on one the centerfold this month (Fujin the performance custom-built catamaran). Of course, we offer a welldeserved salute to the multihull racers of Swiftsure and to the determine sailors aboard Dragonfly. See you out on the water!

Happy Campers Hi Jodi and Norris! You two and Northwest Yachting just moved up a couple of rungs in my ladder of awesomeness!!! I hardly get this kind of customer service and immediate response these days with regards to getting my hands on the last issue... it's refreshing and speaks volumes about you guys as people and the company/ magazine! Sorry it took me a while to respond. I wanted to check a couple of the locations you had mentioned so you didn't have to send a copy if I could find one. But everywhere I went, they were out of stock...must have been a great edition!! But thank you for the list, I now have additional locations to keep an eye out for it. Like I said, my family and I are huge 36 NORTHWEST YACHTING || OCTOBER 2017

fans of the magazine. We make a monthly pilgrimage down to the marina to pick up the latest edition. My son Noah (six) goes through it cover to cover! My three-year old and two-year old also like looking at the boats. We just moved up here from the San Francisco Bay area and are enjoying Poulsbo. We usually get our copy at the Port of Poulsbo, but strangely there were none this past month. I was traveling at the beginning of the month and when we checked our usual pick-up locations, there were none available. If you all have a booth/display at the Boat's Afloat-South Lake Union Boat Show, please let me know. I'd love to stop by and meet you all in person and say "thank you!"

I truly appreciate the offer to send me a copy by mail. Very Respectfully, John Garland Ed: Thank you for the kind letter, John! Getting our magazines to our readers is a top priority and it sounds like we’ll need to send more issues over to the Port of Poulsbo in the months ahead. We encourage anybody who is having trouble getting a print copy of the magazine to reach out to our office via email at jodi@nwyachting.com or by office phone at 206.789.8116. Happy reading!

2018 Ocean Alexander 100 Motor Yacht As the remainder of 2017 dwindles to a handful of months, many yacht builders are touting their 2018 lines. Alexander Marine is no exception, and the company has announced that the 2018 Ocean Alexander 100 Motor Yacht will be making its Seattle/West Coast debut sometime during the upcoming year. With a clear emphasis on comfort, comfort, and comfort, the 100’ motoryacht’s lavish accommodations look well suited for wellto-do private owners and as a high-end chartering option for a company. As one might expect, the exterior is striking. From the swim step aft (complete with safety rails), a guest can move forward via a set of stairs set to both port and starboard of the island transom. Once in the cockpit, many exploratory options open up. An inviting family-style table is built into the island transom itself, and it is amply covered from the elements by the flybridge overhead. Running forward on both port and starboard are large, well-

protected walkways to the foredeck. The foredeck features seating with concealed pop-up lighting and speakers to set the mood, and a table converts to a sun pad. Also accesible from the cockpit is a flight of upward stairs that lead to the expansive flybridge and skylounge. A dinghy davit makes the flybridge the likely home base for the tender, while the skylounge has the amenities of an entire yacht with its 48” LED flip down TV, wet bar, sofa with table, day head, and complete nav station. But that’s just a taste of the exterior, for the interior more than keeps with the luxurious style. A notable design feature of this new 2018 model is the new layout that features dual master staerooms. One stateroom is located on the main deck and the other on the lower deck. Berths are found in the master stateroom (king size), the lower deck twin VIP stateroom (two queen-sized berths), two additional cabins with twin berths, separate crew quarters with en suite captain’s cabin,

and two more crew cabins aft. The galley is designed for the demands of a popular charter vessel (or hungry owner and guests) and is fully decked out with everything one could ask for ranging from refridgeration to stowage.The 100 is not purely luxurious comfort, however. Alexander Marine is quick to boast of its unique aluminum-beam support structure engineering, which should give the vessel very solid bones. The twin MTU diesel engines dish out a total power of 3,840 horsepower that should do the job. If you’ve got some pocket change and are in the market for 2018, the Ocean Alexander 100 Motor Yacht is a high-end luxury yacht you may want to look at. The 2018 Ocean Alexander 100 Motor Yacht is expected to arrive to the Pacific Northwest in the coming months. For more information or pricing, contact the local dealer Alexander Marine USA or check out their website (alexandermarineusa.com).

2018 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 419 The Jeanneau 419 has done pretty well for itself in the Paciﬁc Northwest, with 26 of them sold by Seattle dealer Marine Servicenter at the time of this writing. The build keeps improving with its new 2018 version, now available in Seattle. The basic design features a bulb keel hull with an emphasis on easy handling and performance. A new bowsprit with SS bobstay and forward anchor roller are evolutions that should make anchoring easier. As far as rigging is concerned, there are many elements of note, including the classic double spreader alu-

minum mast, Harken 106% inboard Genoa tracks, Harken 140% side deck Genoa tracks, a Facnor Genoa furler, and rigging for an asymmetrical spinnaker. Singlehanders especially should appreciate that the main and jib lines lead aft. Also aft is the swim step, which is deployed by lowering the hinged transom. The success of the Jeanneau 419 thus far is likely thanks to its generous interior accommodations. The 2018 continues the tradition with a three-cabin, two-head layout. The salon is large with U-shaped seat-

ing around a table starboard. The L-shaped galley includes a deluxe two-burner propane stove with oven/broiler, 12-volt refrigerator, and deep double stainless sinks. Also notable is the all-LED lighting system and Yanmar 3JH5-CE 45 horsepower inboard diesel engine with new Yanmar SD60 sail drive. The Jeanneau 419 looks like a capable sailing yacht in the 40’ range. For more information, contact local dealer Marine Servicenter or check out their website at marinesc.com. The Jeanneau 419 is currently priced at $278,493.

Targa 25.1 Touted as the “4x4 of the Sea” and hailing from Finland, the Targa 25.1 is essentially an offshore workboat in a compact package. The exterior is readily identifiable thanks to its deep working/foredeck and shippy wood railing aft. A swim step sits off the stern. Some layouts feature a short ladder that runs parallel to a stout mast. This ladder leads the visitor to the compact, but fully functional, flybridge. The walkabout space is quite massive for a boat this size and should give one the feeling of security while underway. The interior is quite original and essentially is divided into two compartments. The forward section is all about the nav station, and the slightly forward “attack” angled design of the cabin is reminiscent of some local Pacific Northwest designs. Cleverly, the two helm chairs swivel to be at the deployable family table behind them. Seats along the aft side

of the cabin are hinged to either add seating around the table or grant access to the two berths below that run aft. The small galley fully stows when not in use and located right next to the helm station. The 25.1 should be well suited to weekend getaways. Engine options range from inboard (Volvo D4 225, Volvo D4 260, or Volvo D4 300) to outboard (Yamaha 300 or twin Yamaha 150s). With a reported cruising speed of 30

knots (with 260 horsepower), top speeds ranging between 33 to 40 knots, and fuel consumption of .3 gallons per nautical mile, the Targa 25.1 is fast and eﬃcient. Whether you ﬁnd this boat quirky or a trailblazing must-buy is up to you. If this hardy and versatile beauty has caught your eye, you should contact the local dealer, Cardinal Yacht Sales (cardinalyachtsales.com) for more information. Price starts at $168,016.

Axopar 37 AC There’s something going on with the Finland boat scene and now many of the innovative yet rugged designs are making their way over to the Pacific Northwest. Axopar is one such line, and with the recent conclusion of their West Coast tour with local dealer JK3 Nautical Enterprises, these easily identifiable boats are turning heads. The Axopar 37 AC (aft cabin) was one of the new designs touted on the tour, a boat that is somehow both a cabin cruiser and cigar boat in one. Right off the bat, the Axopar 37 AC stands out with its elongated foredeck with extra-prominent sun bed that you can see for miles. A second sun bed lies aft in the cockpit directly above the cabin that houses berths for two guests, in the front cabin there is a queen-sized bed. The aft cabin

appears to be mostly glass, which gives the 37 AC a very light and roomy feel. The cabin top is tractable if the skipper wants even more light. The 37 AC is powered by twin Mercury 350 Verado outboard motors, which is quite a lot of oomph. With a maximum speed range of 35 to 45 knots, this boat can haul when needed. Most of the time the skipper

Cutwater C-28 When one envisions a solid, Pacific Northwest-built power boat, a Cutwater may come to mind. The 2017 rendition of the C-28 is a fully-loaded motor cruiser that’s at its best in transit among the San Juan Islands with a kayak lashed onto the top of the cabin. It’s worth noting that C-28’s have two main packages, the Luxury Edition and Northwest Edition with slightly diﬀerent oﬀerings. Notably, the Luxury Edition has an air conditioning/reverse cycle heat system while the Northwest Edition does not have air conditioning and relies upon a traditional diesel heater. The interior is warm and inviting with large windows and high quality wood trim. The forward stateroom has berth space for two with convertible seating/dining options (breakfast bar in Northwest Edition, bench

seat with storage in Luxury Edition). A private enclosed head complete with shower are positioned oﬀ the stateroom. The main area of the cabin features family style seating around a hinged table, a full galley, and helm station. The exterior has many of the essentials like a swim step and large working deck

with optional rod holders for ﬁshing. The C-28 comes with a Volvo D4 260 horsepower diesel inboard engine as standard. If you think a C-28 may be in your future, you should contact the local dealer Bellingham Yacht Sales and learn more at cutwaterboats.com. The base price of a C-28 is currently listed at $189,937.

Remote Thrust You Can Trust Wireless Joystick Remote from Yacht Controller / Prices Vary There’s more than one way to move a yacht, and via remote control can be a tempting option. The Dual Band Yacht Controller Remote and the Fusion – Wireless Joystick Remote are two remote control options from the Yacht Controller line from The Yacht Group. The Dual Band was the forerunner of the newer Fusion system, but both feature transmitted dualfrequency technology. The two frequencies help to eliminate interruption from other radio frequency bands. The systems have ﬁve microprocessors and ten relays to provide several layers of redundant control. Both are waterproof and ﬂoat, useful in the

worst-case drop-in-the-water scenario. The controls work in tandem with the waterproof receiver that features commercial-grade connections. Both remote systems will do the job, with anchor up/down buttons, bow and stern thruster controls, and main engine controls. The newer Fusion remote has a few more features. Most prominent on the Fusion is the micro joystick control, multiple anchor up/down buttons, and more thruster controls.

Helinox portable Swivel Chair by DAC / $149.95 Helinox® by DAC boasts a product line known for extremely lightweight gear with amazing strength and durability. The latest is the Swivel Chair, designed with a 360-degree central swivel hub and ultra-strong DAC Featherlight® aluminum-based alloy pole construction. This stylish chair is simple to set up and break down, weighs less than three pounds packed, and comes with a zippered tote bag ﬁnished with gear webbing and daisy chain for easy portage. Compare the Swivel Chair to an ordinary camp chair and the advantages are obvious.

Once deployed, the Swivel Chair makes into a generous seat measuring 28.3 x 20.9 x 19.7 inches, and has a seat height of 15.5 inches, great for tall folks. The chair has a single, shock-corded pole structure for quick and easy use. The Helinox Swivel Chair comes in your choice of black, meadow green, or rhubarb, and a matching table is available. The seat body is made of durable nylon/polyester. Helinox says the chair has a weight limit of 265 pounds.

Bring the Noise

Wolo E-Z Horn / $24.99 We boaters all know (or should) that the U.S. Coast Guard mandates noise makers aboard for safety reasons. What better way to make some noise than a loud horn? The Wolo E-Z Horn Hand Held Electronic Horn is an aﬀordable and loud option. The Wolo E-Z produces 114 decibels with the push of a button. To put that into perspective, a chain saw usually clocks in at around 100 to 110 decibels. The handgrip is sturdy with rugged texturing for grip and a nylon lanyard wrist strap should keep the horn secured to the user. Simplicity is the name of the

game with the Wolo E-Z. As far as power is concerned, the Wolo E-Z runs on a 9V battery (not included). An integrated spare battery compartment is a handy feature to ensure a supply of backup juice if needed. The manufacturer does not tout the Wolo E-Z horn as waterproof, so we’d advise against submerging the handheld horn or leaving it out in the rain. Perhaps one of the best aspects of the Wolo E-Z Horn Hand Held Electronic Horn is the price. You can pick one up for $24.99 at basspro.com.

Secret Stash Stash 750 ML and 1 L Water Bottles / $18.00 - 23.00 Water storage can be a task aboard, especially for those extended dinghy expeditions to wilder shorelines of the Inside Passage. The Stash line of collapsible water bottles from HydraPak offer a modern, simple, and rugged solution that may appeal to both multi-day campers and weekend warriors alike. The Stash bottles have several advantages over the classic hard water bottle designs. First, it’s worth noting that the plastic Stash bottles are made 100% BPA and PVC free with a thermoplastic polyurethane material

that back be frozen of filled with 140-degree Fahrenheit water. Second, the Stash bottles are incredibly light with the 750 ML coming in at 2.5 ounces (1 L is 3.3 ounces), about half the weight of comparable hard water bottles. Next, simply twist the bottle when there’s no more water and store. The bottles collapse down to about a quarter of their original size for easy stowage. What’s more, the 42-mm mouth screw cap is also compatible with most backcountry filters, meaning the Stash is an on-the-go water purifier if you want it to

be. The grip ring on the top and the external volume gauge are pragmatic features that are easy to appreciate. They come in a variety of colors from Malibu (blue) to Sequoia (green). All told, the Stash 750 ML and 1 L look like handy additions to any adventure ashore, urban or wilderness. They even come with a Beyond Lifetime Warranty for replacement parts. The 750 is $18 while the 1 L is $23.00. Check out hydrapak.com for more details.

Bag it The Adjustable Bag / $190.00 Boating can involve a lot of toting. From your vehicle to your vessel, then back; your gear and supplies get moved and removed— why not make this and any travel chore as efficient and effective as possible with a new three-way tote? With three sizes and 10 configurations, The Adjustable Bag from Piorama™ is said to be the world's most versatile convertible bag. This bag completely collapses into a small ball for storage. It instantly expands when needed to 31-, 46.5-, and 62-liter capacity. Choose your own handles, padded

backpack straps, or padded shoulder strap configurations. The Adjustable Bag is touted as tough, versatile, water resistant, and constructed of quality materials; the outer layer is treated, water-resistant ripstop nylon. The lining is 210D polyester, and is also water-resistant. Zippers are waterproof, and the attachment hardware is Duraﬂex ABS plastic. Piorama points out the lockable main compartment zipper and lengthwise opening is designed to provide easy access to contents. Reach for the exterior quick

access pocket for items you need close at hand and secure valuables in two interior hidden pockets. Cinches on both ends allow the duﬀel to expand and contract in capacity. At only 1.2 lbs., the tote takes up little room when stowed and adds minimal weight. To see The Adjustable Bag in action, watch the manufacturer’s informative video at piorama.co. Choose from five colors, including a camo version. Currently priced at about $149.00 directly from Piorama or order from Huckberry.com.

Shocking!

Weego 66 Jump Starter / $199.99 Weego’s line of portable power packs and jump starters continues with their new Weego 66 Jump Starter. Now with more bells and whistles than ever, the 66 is a portable jumper battery with some serious power. The 12volt, lithium-polymer 66 (named after its 66 watt hours of battery capacity) is designed to jump start up to 10-liter gas and 5-liter diesel engines, and at a mere 1.6 pounds in a 9.25” by 3.25” by 1.5” package, it’s compact too. The five integrated LED indicator lights readily display how much energy is left at a glance. But that’s just the basics. Also included is a USB charging port that allows the user to charge anything from a laptop to a smartphone. Additionally, a 600-lumen LED ﬂashlight and strobe is built

into the 66. The integrated lights could be used conventionally to look for stray nuts and bolts at night or as a ﬂashing SOS beacon. The 66 is also very rugged with a water-resistant housing and an advertised lifespan of 1,000 charge cycles. With purported operating temperature tolerance of -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the 66 should be well suited to a life in the Paciﬁc Northwest. The 66 is also backed by Weego’s “Crazy Long” 18-month warranty and comes with battery clamps, wall and car chargers, hook and lanyard, and water resistant carrying case. The cherry on top is that the Weego 66 is designed and engineered right here in the United States. Get yours for $199.99 from myweego.com.

Dry Bilge for You

Rule 12V DC Bilge Pumps / $29.99 - 37.99 If your boat has a bilge, you need a pump. The Rule 12 Volt DC Non-Automatic Bilge Pump is a popular, aﬀordable mainstay. The pump can work with a direct current panel and/ or ﬂoat switch, depending on the owner’s preference. Of course, the pump is fully submersible and comes in both 360GPH (gallons per hour) and 500-GPH models. That’s a lot of water for a pump that weighs less than one pound!

The manufacturer is quick to tout the high-efficiency, low-amp motor and its stainless steel shaft and a built-in back flow preventer. What’s more, the pump comes with the three-year limited warranty for some extra peace of mind. Simple, efficient, and – at $29.99 for the 360-GPH pump and $37.99 for the 500-GPH model – affordable. You can check it out at basspro.com.

Marine Electronics

Debut Hybrid Touchscreen MFD SI-TEX NavStar 10 and NavStar 12 Long Island, New York-based SI-TEX Marine Electronics has been around for a while but this nearly 40-year-old dog learns a new trick with the company’s first hybrid touchscreen multifunction displays (MFDs). The NavStar 10 and NavStar 12, numbered according to the display’s width in inches, follow the lead of many other big-name marine electronics companies with an emphasis on integration. The NavStar line of MFD units combine radar, sonar, GPS/chartplotter, and entertainment systems capabilities into one sleek device. The NavStar series resembles other MFDs when it comes to the controls. Simply touch the screen or use the traditional button controls to display data. The screen itself is a high-brightness, high-resolution TFT XGA LCD display, so it should be easy to view in just about any situation on the water. What’s more, both the NavStar 10 and 12 feature simultaneous four-way split display capabilities, meaning the user can view the chartplotter, the sonar array, radar, and the entertainment system information at the same time. Another built-in feature is that the chartplotter uses popular C-MAP 4D cartography. Of course, the MFDs are NMEA 2000- and NMEA 0183-compatible to interact with other systems aboard. The NMEA 54 NORTHWEST YACHTING || OCTOBER 2017

2000 and 0183 compatibility allows a boat owner to utilize multiple marine electronics brands aboard. This is an especially useful capability for older boats being upgraded one electronic component at a time, or for the more do-it-yourself types that enjoy mixing and matches different marine electronic brands on their boats. The NavStar MFDs also utilize 4kW dualrange radar capabilities so the user can view targets far away or close up at the same time. As far as sonar is concerned, both the NavStar 10 and 12 integrate dual-frequency 50/200 kHz sonar compatibility. The higher frequency should provide detailed, shallowwater fish school info while the lower frequency should come in handy to see deeper seafloor features. A general rule of thumb to keep in mind when it comes to acoustic echosounders is that lower frequencies penetrate deeper but produce lower resoluation detail. Higher frequencies don’t travel as far in the water column, yet provide more detailed information. Therefore, having the two different frequencies should cover your bases nicely. If one were to crack open one of these units (not recommended!), the hardware would consist of a powerful Cortex A9 1.6 GHz Guard Core processor. Additionally, both the NavStar 10 and 12 have built-in Bluetooth connectivity and wireless LAN

capabilities. The wireless LAN is useful for accessing the newest charts and automatic updating from the internet, an increasingly essential feature in this era of constantly improving software. The NavStar lineup can also be enabled for optional Skymate satellite communications, which allows the user access to weather updates, Nexrad radar and sea surface temperatures, and the ability to transmit texts, emails, and faxes. The entire unit is held within a rugged exterior housing that should be able to stand up to the elements. An official waterproof rating is not (yet?) advertised, but it is designed with extensive exposure in mind. The flush mounting design is made to fit easily on any bridge, helm, or console. Thanks to the compact design, both the NavStar 10 and NavStar 12 should be able to fit at most helm stations. If the SI-TEX NavStar series has got your attention, you should check out their website for the nearest local dealer at si-tex.com. The NavStar 10’s MSRP is $2,199 and the NavStar 12’s MSRP is $2,999.

Fujin on the Loose Seattle-based Fujin crew traveled to the East Coast over Labor Day weekend to set a new course record in the 238-mile Vineyard Race. Aboard were notable Pacific Northwest and Canadian sailors Jonathan McKee, Fritz Lanzinger, Brad Baker, Mike Leslie, Scott Smith, Andre McCorquodale, Gina Borza, and, yours truly, owner Greg Slynstad. Fujin was first to finish in 15 hours and six minutes, beating the old record by more than five hours. She had ideal reaching conditions in 12 to 24 knots of wind with only one jibe for the entire race at the Buzzards Bay mark. Top speed was over 27 knots, with an average speed of 17 knots. Fujin, named after the Japanese word for Wind God, was designed by the prominent Seattle designer Paul Bieker. She was launched in 2015 and has collected many trophies.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein

Looking for The Atlantics! The changing of the seasons is one of the best parts about living in the Northwest, and October is one of my favorite months. From the beginning of the crisp, cool air to the spooky, homespun Halloween finale, it’s a time when everything can feel small-town simple and old-school special. Although fishing in the fall is more a transition to rivers than the salt, there’s still a lot of boating and fishing opportunities to be had. I haven’t winterized a boat of mine in years and don’t plan on starting now. We’re just getting to the good stuff, ghouls and buoys… don’t let the end of summer scare ya off the water! Speaking of trick or treat, by now everyone has heard about the accidental release of hundreds of thousands of farm-raised Atlantic salmon into our waters. When this first happened, catches of 40 or more salmon around the broken net pens near Washington’s Cypress Island were not uncommon. Soon after that the fish scattered and became very wary. Incidental catches were recorded from Tacoma to Neah Bay to parts of Vancouver Island and Southwestern British Columbia. While these salmon were first caught by casting spinners or jigs to schools,

now they are mostly caught while trolling for other species such as coho. If you happen to catch one or see fish jumping on the surface, this could mean there’s a school of Atlantics in the area. Slow down and troll in a figure eight or circle around where you last encountered one. Be ready to change your gear to something small such as a Silver Horde Mini Ace Hi Fly or Kingfisher 2” spoon. There is no limit on these salmon; and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife requests that you keep all Atlantics caught. As always, check the regulation for any area you will be fishing and doublecheck the presiding agency’s website for emergency closures and rule changes. The fact that these fish were farmed in their non-native waters is a topic that will have to be dealt with going forward. Will this release have any detrimental effects on the ecosystem? It’s happened before with less publicity and no real impact that we know about. However, whether you decide these fish are acceptable table fare or just good crab bait, they really should be taken out of the water. Coho and chum salmon provide some opportunities in the saltwater this time of year, as well as resident Chinook, aka blackmouth. Some areas from Puget Sound to British Columbia can provide open seasons and good fishing. Do your research and plan a trip to chase fish in local waters or some place a bit farther. Many marinas have discounted rates for the so-called shoulder season that starts in October. Fish in the morning and be back in time to warm up and catch the kickoff of the Hawks, Huskies, or Cougs at the local watering hole. Believe it or not, albacore tuna fishing can still be productive off the coast when the weather allows. Throw some longfins in the mix during canning season for a real treat! Dressing up like a pirate was the Halloween costume du jour of a few year ago. From someone who has always innately been a bit pirate-ish, I can tell you that “Coho-ho and the Battle of Chum” has been my call to go fish the Northwest’s rivers in years past. Still bright and fresh silvers can provide an absolute blast when river fishing. Twitching jigs have become the go-to method for Continued on Page 94

Top: If you’re fishing for salmon in the Northwest in October you may catch an Atlantic or forty. Bottom: October is the time to try some river fishing for coho, Chinook and chum. If you’re not set up for it, hiring a guide is a great way to go. Mount Vernon’s Out Sick Guide Service gets well on chrome!

A lifelong resident of Washington, Kevin Klein has been on the rivers, lakes, and salt waters of the Pacific Northwest since conception. In 2004 Kevin relocated to the San Juan Islands and began to write numerous articles for outdoor magazines and contribute to websites dedicated to fishing. Kevin can be found promoting sport fishing and giving seminars on boating and fishing techniques. A passion became a career when Kevin joined Inside Passage Yacht Sales as their Northwest sports and fishing representative. On any given day you may find Kevin and his wife Vicki, also an accomplished angler, plying the waters of the Northwest, spreading the word of the benefits of the boating and fishing lifestyle.

On Watch By Peter Schrappen

Copper Ban No Longer A Ban? So much has changed since the March edition of Northwest Yachting hit the stands that it’s worth backing up and ﬁlling you in on where things are with the push to phase out copper-bottom paint. You may remember from the article (King Copper is Dead) that boaters and marine businesses were getting their heads around the phase-out of copper-bottom paint by the year 2020. I remember Scott Anderson’s quote of “We are taking this phase-out with our eyes wide open” that spoke to how serious the boatyards were taking this upcoming change. Yes, results on the alternative (read: non-copper) paints were mixed, but they seemed to be good enough to keep this phase-out moving forward by 2018 for new boats and 2020 for all recreational boats up to 65 feet. At least that’s how the issue appeared in March. In what seems a lifetime ago, this feature sparked considerable dialogue within the boating community. If you were ever wondering if Northwest Yachting is read by inﬂuential boaters, I can put that question to rest. In fact, I received a number of calls from well-known boaters, asking everything from “Um, what phase out of copper?” to “What are you doing to stop this crazy law?” to “What alternatives exist for the racing sailboat community?” The trickle of calls turned into a groundswell in just a few short weeks. The Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA), the lead on this legislation back in 2011, was the logical organization to convene further conversations about what exactly was going on with the bill, the alternatives, and the rest of the country’s positions towards copper. To their credit, NMTA moved into action. I grabbed my lunch pail and got to work, meeting with businesses to hear their concerns. A task force was formed to give the industry more time to hear from experts. Over eight weeks, the group met, vetted concepts, and came to the conclusion that improving this legislation to ban copper was necessary for a variety of reasons. To start, Washington is just too small of a boating market to sway paint companies to spend research-and-development dollars on non-copper paints. Washington’s boaters have always longed for bigger-boating states (like Florida) to join us. Voilà, enter California! In my outreach, I learned that this state, the second in the country in boat registrations, is all set to phase out high copper leaching paints by 2018. As this task force looked closer at what was happening in California, they liked what they saw. As this process wrapped up in July, the NMTA board unanimously adopted the California model. Not only is California a huge market force with 830,000 boat registrations, but there are other attributes to following their lead. For one, the Golden State is a harbinger of future environmental legislation. A growing segment of Washington legislators look to them with fondness on how they regulate chemicals and enforce environment-friendly rules. California has an

outsized seal of approval. To put it another way, if you want to know where Washington’s legislature is going, look to California first. Second, California regulators and environmental groups have had copper in their cross-hairs for a longer period than Washington. They have run the numbers around leaching, micrograms, liters per day, centimeters squared, etc., that Washington simply hasn’t. This “California salsa” of regulations culminated with the regulation to be implemented in 2018 that any paint that leaches more than 9.5 micrograms/centimeters squared/liter/day would be outlawed. In effect, 190 paints would be banned and boaters could choose from a list of 80 that were below this 9.5 threshold. According to the NTMA task force, that 80 number sure beats the 12 paints that are completely non-copper. The group also made some other requests to this proposed Washington legislation. They asked their lobbying team (okay, me) to outlaw the application of this paint (not outlawing the sale of the paint because it just applies to recreational boats) to ensure that this law is fairly enforced. Lastly, they wanted this bill to apply to only boats registered in Washington state. Meanwhile, more and more interest and concern is coming to the surface around this question of “what exactly is in these alternatives to copper-based paint?” Econea, an active ingredient in one of the leading alterna- Surrounded by a unique mix of interests, Governor Gregoire signs the tive paints, is banned copper-bottom-ban bill (Senate Bill 5436) into law in May 2011.

The concern, which is getting more traction, is that these chemicals are messy, especially with marine life and juvenile salmon. Long story short: I’ve got my work plan fleshed out for 2018 and it’s all about copper and improving the copper legislation. I’ve got a prime sponsor (Rep. Mike Chapman, Democrat – Clallam and Jefferson counties) and an industry of boaters on my back. Let’s do this!

Additionally, he serves on boards of the Boating Safety Advisory Council, the Washington Boating Alliance, and the U.S. Superyacht Association.

Galley Gourmet By Bridget Charters

Breakfast: A Great Way to Start the Day! I had an opportunity to do some cruising in the San Juan Islands this summer: two families, a 45’ boat, four adults, and three children. It was perfection to wake up in semi-remote locations on the hook, with the quiet noises associated with sunrise and the gently rocking boat. Many mornings I woke up early and snuck out on deck to take in the beautiful colors on the water and witness fish, birds, and marine mammals starting their day. It was so calm and quiet that it was easy to pick up on sounds from across the bay or inlet, watch eagles feeding on fish, or a family of otters feasting on mussels. One early morning as we were transiting to another location, we watched a pod of orcas having salmon for breakfast! It was tricky (in tight quarters) to get the coffee made quietly so I could enjoy the morning by myself. But as the morning progressed and the family started to wake, breakfast seemed like the big meal of the day. If we had a big fun breakfast, we often skipped lunch and just had snacks and mini-meals the rest of the day, then enjoyed our catch of the day at dinner. All the food experts say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it certainly felt like it on the boat. We woke up so early and were active right out the gate that we really needed that big meal to get us going. On boats, as I discovered, cooking and baking is a juggling match when serving a meal to the entire group. Hot pancakes or crepes, sizzling bacon, scrambled eggs, and even fresh-cut fruit are all challenges with

the stove, oven, and available counterspace. Some of the work happened the night before: batters made, fruit cut, ingredients prepped. Often, we used some of the leftovers from the night before to dictate the breakfast menu the next day, like salmon in a frittata, crab meat for a nice French-style omelet, or berry sauce for pancakes. Again and again, it seemed as if organization is the key to spending extended time on boats. Poaching or scrambling eggs is a quick and easy way to go, along with toast and bacon, but the children always love pancakes with bacon, so I brought my own dry pancake base that just needed milk, or buttermilk, eggs and melted butter. Then we added fresh blackberries, grated apples, or blueberries. Muffins were fun and easy to make, and again, a batch of muffin base was made at home and kept in an airtight container until we were ready to use it. Like the pancakes, we created our own variations. Bacon or sausage can be cooked on the stove or in the oven in advance, then reheated right before everyone is ready to eat. Eggs need to be the last item to cook unless you are serving a frittata or a bread pudding. With an elegant and hearty breakfast, the day is bound to go right. Happy boating!

Basic Muffin Base 2 cups all-purpose flour (can sub 1 cup wheat for 1 cup white flour) 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup brown sugar (can sub granulated sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup buttermilk 2 eggs 1/ cup melted butter 4

In a mixing bowl, blend together the dry ingredients, add the fruit, and toss in the flour to coat. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, and add the melted butter. Fold the wet into the dry ingredients. Using a large spoon or ice cream scooper, fill a lined muffin tin to just below the edge (or drop by dollops onto a parchment lined baking sheet) and bake in a 350-degree oven for 25 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

Variations Berry - Add 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen berries to the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients. Apple – Add 1 1/2 cups of peeled, diced apples with one teaspoon cinnamon. Morning Glory – Add 2 cups grated carrot, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup unsweetened flake coconut, 1/2 cup almonds, 1/2 cup raisins or currant, one teaspoon cinnamon, and one teaspoon ginger. Oatmeal – Add one cup of rolled oats to 1 1/4 cups flour, with one teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.

French-Style Rolled Omelet /4 cup white wine 1 1/2 - 2 eggs per omelet Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons cream or milk Melted butter and canola oil for cooking 1

Filling options: mixed herbs, sautéed spinach, crab meat or Salmon, cheese, and sautéed mushrooms In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until foamy. Set pan on stove to heat on medium and (condition) warm the pan. (Note: a hot pan prevents the eggs from sticking). Whisk in milk or cream, salt, and pepper, then add the fat to pan. The fat should smoke slightly if the pan is properly hot. Add egg mixture and lift the pan to swirl the eggs into a thin layer. Reduce the heat and set the pan on the burner, add the filling down the center of the omelet, turn off the heat, and fold the omelet over gently, covering the filling then rolling it into a cigar shape. Roll onto a plate and serve immediately

Spinach or Herb Frittata 3 shallots, sliced 1 yellow onion, sliced 1/ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 2 cups assorted coarsely chopped herbs (such as tarragon, parsley, chives, thyme) or spinach leaves 8 large eggs 1/ teaspoon kosher salt 2 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large 10” – 12” skillet, add shallots and onions and sauté over medium heat with some of the oil until golden, about four minutes. Add half of the herbs and toss until beginning to wilt, about one minute. Set the mixture aside on a plate, wipe out the skillet, and hold on low heat. Beat eggs and salt to blend in large bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup Parmesan. Add one tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the warm pan, pour in egg mixture, and spread topping evenly on eggs. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over eggs. Cook over medium heat until frittata is just set at edges, about ten minutes. Transfer to oven and bake until just set, about ten minutes. Loosen the edges of the frittata and invert onto serving plate. Slice into wedges and serve. Variations: Add 1 cup diced, cooked chicken meat, cooked salmon, or picked crab meat.

Crepes with Wild Blackberries 2 large eggs 3/ cup milk 4 1/ cup water 2 1 cup flour 1 tablespoon sugar Pinch of salt 3 tablespoons melted butter Melted butter for coating the pan Whisk the eggs, milk, and water in a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, and fold the wet into the dry. Add the melted butter and place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for one hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours. Heat a small stainless steel sauté pan. Using a folded paper towel, or pastry brush, add butter to coat the pan. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another ten seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled, you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days. Fill and roll the crepes with jam and soft butter. Top with fresh berries.

CHAMPS Words: Norris Comer || Photos: Junichi Hirai

Elisabeth (Libby) and Jonathan McKee have been married for 27 years and sailing together for 29. The two recently won the Tasar World Championships 2017 in Gamagori, Japan. It’s the fourth Tasar World Championship win under their belts. What’s their secret? Spending extended time on the water together as a couple can bring out both the best and worst in each other during the most ideal of circumstances. Throw in the high stress environment of competitive sailboat racing in the cold Pacific Northwest drizzle, and divorce lawyers might as well be waiting for new clients at the marina. However, every so often a boating couple emerges to show the rest of us how it’s done. Enter Seattle-based Jonathan and Libby McKee, an avid sailing power

couple with an international record to show for it. Most recently, the McKees won the 2017 Tasar World Championship in Gamagori, Japan, held August 1 to 6. The competitive international fleet was a sizeable 97 boats. The title of Tasar World Champions is familiar to the McKees. The duo won the Tasar Worlds in the 2007 race in Phuket, Thailand, 2003 at Esquimalt, Vancouver Island, Canada, and in the Columbia River Gorge in the 1990s. Libby and Jonathan may very well be the most decorated mar-

ried couple of the Tasar world. But what factors have led to their success, both as a couple and a top-tier Pacific Northwest sailing team? Is their success a recipe that can be duplicated? For the sake of couples with boating aspirations everywhere, I reached out to the McKees. Jonathan just returned from the J/70 World Championships in Port Cervo, Italy, and Libby is on her lunch break from her job at Amazon. Libby has been keeping an eye on their two kids while Jonathan was abroad (a girl, age 13, and boy, age 16). “Jonathan just got back from Europe yesterday and I was in all-day meetings last week and single-parenting at night,” says Libby, describing the hustle that many working parents can relate to, perhaps minus the international sailing factor. To the McKees, the success in Japan is still a fresh experience. “When you’re at a championship like that, you’ve been working towards it with everything you’ve got for a while,” says Jonathan. “Everything you’re doing day and night is consumed with the goal of trying to win this race. It’s the opposite of a vacation. The first few races were very windy, which played to our strong suits.” “I like that we’re 100% present, in the now with competitive sailing,” says Libby. “You get into this rhythm of the regatta and you have to stay present during thousand of micro-moments on and off the water. Jonathan was very precise with tactical calls. The difference between tacking here and 100 yards farther was the difference between fifth and twelfth place. It’s a lot easier to make a play to first from fifth place than twelfth. Jonathan did a wonderful job of seizing opportunities.” Jonathan certainly has a record that would suggest as much. He launched into the professional sailing sphere in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, where he and Pacific Northwest sailing giant Carl Buchan won the gold medal in the Flying Dutchman class. The team remains the only Americans to ever win a gold medal for the Flying Dutchman class in the Olympics. Brothers Jonathan and Charles McKee had their big day in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where they won a bronze

medal in the 49er class. The two have gone on to sail for OneWorld in the 2003 Louis Vuitton Cup and for Luna Rossa Challenge in the 2007 Louis Vuitton Cup. Also notable, Jonathan sailed on Il Mostro in the 2008/2009 Volvo Ocean Race. “Libby is a very accomplished sailor in her own right,” adds Jonathan. “She has won the Adams Cup three times (US Women’s Keelboat Champs), and has also sailed in the Women’s World Championship in Brazil, as well as numerous other exploits in dinghies and keelboats. She is currently racing an RS Aero. She is also in excellent physical condition, which was a major contributor to our success in Gamagori.” Only a few minutes into my conversation with them, and the first clue to their success was making itself clear. The two are quick to provide genuine positive feedback to each other, a dynamic the pair believes helps propel them to success.

“The roles need to be divided and executed perfectly. Most of the conversation is either strategic or just supportive. We can do it! Hike for another beat! We can get those guys! kind of stuff,” adds Libby. “The micromanaging, operational things are unspoken and you have to trust each other to do our jobs. We do our best when we say very little to each other. Time spent explaining what to do is time wasted,” says Jonathan. Another critical element to their dynamic is that, on the course, they are sailing peers of equal footing. I’m-the-mansplaining-captain attitude has no place aboard. “We aren’t hierarchical. Jonathan may have his hand on that tiller, but it takes two people fully engaged and present to win,” says Libby. The McKee approach is in many ways a guiding philosophy of the boat they sail, the Tasar, and the community that has grown around it in the Pacific Northwest.

“In my view, the most interesting story is the Tasar Class and its evolution in the Pacific Northwest,” says Jonathan. “Many of the best sailors in the Pacific Northwest have raced Tasars at one time, and local sailors have won the World Championships 11 times. I find that number quite astounding for such a competitive international class.” “A big part of our success is thanks to the Tasar community in the Pacific Northwest that we train with,” adds Libby. Other notable Pacific Northwest Tasar racing couples include Carl and Carol Buchan and brother Charlie and Becky McKee (both teams/married couples who are also world champs). Additionally, three other Pacific Northwest teams competed alongside the McKees in Japan (Jay and Lisa Renehan [also married World Cham-

Jonathan and Libby recall fondly the many weekend regattas with the Tasar community. “For Gamagori, the four Pacific Northwest teams decided to train together to maximize our learning and create a positive and fun atmosphere. We started training in March and sailed two or three days per week through July. We only raced a couple of days in all that time, but our practice was well coordinated. We shared our techniques, settings, and thoughts with each other openly,” says Jonathan.

The Tasar is a two-person, 15’ monohull fiberglass sailing dinghy designed in 1975 by Frank Bethwaite of Sydney, Australia. Featuring a mainsail and jib rig setup with no spinnaker, Tasars are easy to handle, yet the class yields itself to advanced tactics that appeal to advanced sailors. The 149-lbs. (68 kg.) weight of the sandwich foam construction makes for a light build and the wide beam (5’9”) and large, open cockpit make for easy hiking. The Tasar reportedly is a very fun boat to sail in winds up to 25 knots. The one-design international class has an active community with notable fleets in Australia, Britain, Japan, and the USA. The Tasar World Championships are held every odd year at different host countries around the world. The next one in 2019 is slated to be held at Hayling Island, U.K. in July.

“This open atmosphere is quite unusual, as normally sailors try to keep what they know to themselves. But it makes for a more collaborative, fun, and interactive training, and is something that the local Tasar fleets have always embraced. There is no question that we all improved tremendously during this spring and summer, and we attribute our success at the Worlds largely to this. So the other local teams were a big part of our victory. Equally important, we really looked forward to each day of training. It was less like work and more like play.” “The Northwest spirit of collaboration is great,” agrees Libby. “The community is a big part of how we were able to come into this event, a little old and off the racing scene, to win that convincingly in Japan.” Beyond the Japan race, the Tasar community of the Pacific Northwest is what brought Libby and Jonathan together. The two began sailing together aboard a Tasar 29 years ago, two years before they officially tied the knot. Libby feels as if the Tasar is a natural fit for the Pacific Northwest attitude. “Sailing Tasars is very different than sailing Stars or Melges 24s,” says Libby. “There’s this supportive, organic, nopretense community here in the Pacific Northwest. There’s great nearby locations for Tasar racing like Shilshole Bay and the lakes around Seattle. The boats themselves are fundamentally simple, but they are also high performance. Races are dynamic and interesting.’ “The Tasar was specifically designed to be a boat for couples to sail,” adds Jonathan. “Thus there is no trapeze or spinnaker. However, it achieves high performance upwind and down through a combination of design factors: very lightweight, a wide-chined hull with flat aft sections, efficient foils, a rotating mast, and fully battened sail. So it’s not hard to sail, but still presents a lot of interesting challenges for top sailors. Libby and I sailed our first Tasar regatta in 1987 at Continued on Page 70

the Tasar Nationals in Seattle. We were not married at that time.” “We knew each other from the sailing community. When Jonathan was doing 18-footers the first time, I was dating somebody else. But Jonathan and I got to know each other a bit better there. Some time later, we decided to sail a Tasar together,” recounts Libby. “Really, Tasars are designed for one male and one female from a crew weight perspective. During our time with Tasars, a number of people early in their marriages or dating were active in the fleet. We couples would go around to beautiful lakes and parts of the Pacific Northwest and have rabbit starts or our own races. We called them ‘Bush Regattas.’ We’d camp out at night and drink red wine and go racing and trailer our boats home. What’s great is that they were away from the yacht club scene. It was more about the community and camaraderie,” says Libby. “That was the early part of our relationship. It was great.” As I talk more with the McKees, I grow to view their success as more than the endresult of a carefully crafted recipe with ingredients such as individually intrinsic love of sailing, mutual support, a thirst for growth, and trust between the two. The external factors, such as the couple-friendly design of the Tasar itself and the collaborative community of Pacific Northwesterners around it, seem to serve as the all-important incubator oven. To the McKees, the journey to the world championship was overflowing with joyful days on the water with their dearest friends. Racing Tasars is a chance to put each other first in their bustling lifestyles where careers, kids, and the buzz buzz buzz of life too often gets in the way. “We really got to turn into our relationship during this experience, and we race

70 NORTHWEST YACHTING || OCTOBER 2017

with some of the dearest people to us in our lives,” says Libby. “These people are the same who attended our wedding! We really enjoy doing it, so whenever there is an opportunity to get out on a Tasar, we’ll go for it.” As far as future championship regattas are concerned, nothing is set in stone but, “I guarantee you’ll see us out on the water, for it’s much more than a hobby to us. Coming to a race course near you,” says Libby proudly.

“Definitely!” agrees Jonathan. I have no doubts as I say my goodbyes. Norris Comer is the managing editor of Northwest Yachting.

Sailing Together “From my perspective, when I see it succeed, both parties come to sailing and racing with sailing being an intrinsic love for each of them individually. It doesn’t go as well if one person is into it and the other person isn’t. There’s a dynamic of inequality involved that causes resentment. If the parties come together as racers in their own right, that’s a good place to start. It can work the other way, but you have to be willing to transition from leader/coach to sailing equals and peers.” —Libby McKee “There are not that many activities that a couple can do that are at a high level and with equal footing. When it’s just the two of you, it’s pretty intense. But racing as a couple does add something special to the experience. You’re not only doing well in the race, but also strengthening your relationship.” —Jonathan McKee

A L U M I N U M :

A Boater's Best Friend?

Fiberglass seems to rule the roost as the go-to building material for production recreational motor and sail yachts, but aluminum offers advantages that many boaters nationwide are not aware of. By Roger McAfee However, boaters in the Pacific Northwest, and to a certain extent in California and the Midwest, have known for years that aluminum as a boat building material has very useful properties. Notably, so have the builders of water taxis, crew boats, high-speed ferries, commercial fishing vessels, and U.S. Coast Guard rescue boats.

72 NORTHWEST YACHTING || OCTOBER 2017

A local builder, Coastal Craft of Gibson B.C., builds exclusively in aluminum and the quality of Coastal builds rank among the best. Alexander Marine, another large yacht builder thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular in Pacific Northwest waters, makes extensive use of aluminum beams as structural elements in its fiberglass boats. Outside of the Pacific Northwest, two of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading

when small amounts were created in labs by academics. In about 1866, Frenchman Paul HĂŠroult and Charles Martin Hall, an American, each applied for a patent in his own country for the electrolytic reduction process (smelting), which made commercial production of aluminum at reasonable prices possible. The same basic process is used today. Pure aluminum is soft and weak and has no value in the marine field. However, when alloyed with other elements, including manganese, magnesium, copper, zinc, and silicone, it becomes useful as an industrial and marine metal. Aluminum alloys have numerical designations, and the marine grade designations are in the 5000 and 6000 series. The American Society for Testing and Materials [ASTM] has designated marine grade aluminum as B 928. ASTM is an international organization wherein members voluntarily agree on standards. Aluminum, when exposed to the oxygen in the air, is one of the few metals that naturally forms aluminum oxide, a hard, tough coating that is impervious to saltwater. Aluminum oxide has chemical properties similar to sapphire, which makes it very hard. On the Mohs Scale of Hardness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where diamond is the hardest

U.S. custom yacht builders, Burger and Palmer Johnson, both household names when it comes to large private vessels and both located in Wisconsin, build exclusively with aluminum. Another Eastern U.S. boat builder, Rinker, touts the advantage of its aluminum radar arch over those made of fiberglass. What's more, the hulls of most air boats

in the Southeastern U.S. are also built of aluminum, and they take quite a pounding.

THE SCIENCE Aluminum as an element is one of the most common minerals in the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crust, but it has been around as the metal we know since the early 1800s

OCTOBER 2017 || NORTHWEST YACHTING

with a ten rating - sapphire rates a nine. Since the tough aluminum oxide protects the metal against the elements, painting is not required except for cosmetic or antifouling purposes. This also applies to the inside of an aluminum hull.

THE ALUMINUM LIFESTYLE Unpainted aluminum is a dull, grey color like the unpainted sections of most commercial airliners (almost all of which are made of aluminum). Unpainted aluminum surfaces can sit exposed to the sun, wind, and rain for years without damage. More than 50 years ago, most of the small car-top boats were made of riveted, very thin, aluminum. They were tough and many of them are still around today, al-

though they are somewhat the worse for wear. All that is usually required after an aluminum boat has sat out in the elements for years is to scrub it down with freshwater, soap, and a plastic scrub pad —the type usually used on barbecue grills works well. The soap can be optional! Experienced boaters know that painting any boat can be expensive—and in some cases very expensive—so many aluminum boat owners forego that expense and instead use glue on vinyl stripes to cosmetically dress up their boats. These stripes, much like pin striping in the auto world, are inexpensive and can be easily applied without professional help. With twice the yield strength and ten times the shear strength, aluminum

is much stronger and tougher than the typical fiberglass lay-up used in boats and weighs about the same. Since aluminum is much tougher than fiberglass, aluminum boats can withstand a hard docking or grounding much better than their fiberglass cousins. A scratch or gouge on an aluminum hull will begin to oxidize immediately and no repair is required. By comparison, a scratch or gouge through the gel coat on a fiberglass boat should be repaired immediately to ensure water does not wick into the laminate. Water wicking into a glass laminate will, especially if freezing weather hits, start a structural delamination. Should an aluminum boat be holed, it can be temporarily patched in the field and in some cases right in the water. The area around the hole can be sanded lightly with fine sandpaper and ringed with a generous amount of sealant. A thin piece of aluminum or plywood can then be screwed over the hole with stainless, self-tapping screws. If the boat can’t be hauled, a small piece of a tarp can be slid over the hole on the outside of the hull. The water entering through the hole will force the material against the side and stop the water. The patch can then be put on from the inside. Aluminum boats can also be patched with an epoxy putty material sold in most marine stores in stick form. A piece of putty, large enough to fill the hole, is kneaded for about a minute and then forced into the hole. It sets up rapidly and, once set, can last for months. Most aluminum boats for saltwater use are welded and this offers a great advantage since almost all fittings—cleats, hand rails, toe rails, center consoles, anchor pulpits, fishing towers, etc.—can be welded directly to the hull. This removes the likelihood of screws working free of

the fittings and other attachments as they often do on other boats. It also means that fittings can be attached anywhere on an aluminum hull. A big advantage to being able to weld aluminum fittings directly to the aluminum hull structure is that there is no possibility of galvanic corrosion that is likely if a stainless cleat were to be screwed or bolted to a gunnel. Even a plastic fitting has to be fixed to the hull with regular steel, or stainless steel screws or bolts. Dissimilar metals in salt water leads to galvanic corrosion. So far nobody has developed aluminum screws or bolts strong enough to be used to fasten fittings to hulls. Many boaters believe, mistakenly, that metal boats attract lightning. In fact, metal boats are no more likely to be struck by lightning than their glass counterparts. But if they are struck, the electrical energy passes directly into the water, much like the grounding wire on a lightning rod, doing little or no damage to the boat and its occupants. It’s the same principle as a Faraday Cage, an enclosure that acts like a hollow conductor to block electromagnetic fields.

MAINTENANCE It may appear that aluminum is a maintenance-free material, but that’s not the case. There is no such thing as a maintenance-free boat building material. Aluminum boats need to be maintained, but the maintenance takes a different form. Instead of the usual, and seemingly endless, scraping, painting, buffing, and polishing, the aluminum boat owner simply keeps his or her bilges clean. Aluminum boats can suffer from what is known as galvanic corrosion. That’s corrosion resulting from two dissimilar metals coming into contact with each other in an electrolyte. Saltwater is a good electrolyte. An aluminum boat owner must make sure there are no steel or copper nuts and bolts left in the bilges and that, like steel boats, sacrificial anodes are properly installed. If a boater wants to add fittings that must be screwed or bolted down, stainless screws, or nuts and bolts with isolating washers, should be used. Isolating gaskets can also be used to effectively isolate the steel fitting from the aluminum thereby reducing the likelihood of galvanic corrosion. Since aluminum clearly has certain advantages, many often ask why aluminum is not used as a building material for large freighters. It is much lighter than steel and a freighter could, therefore, carry a

heavier load. Steel weighs 487 pounds per cubic foot while aluminum weighs in at 165 pounds for the same volume. Steel is also much tougher than aluminum. On Mohs 1-10 scale of hardness aluminum is 2.5 – 3 and steel is 7-8. The hardness varies depending on the other metals alloyed into the steel or aluminum during the smelting process. For those used to working in steel, the switch to working with aluminum can sometimes be a bit of a problem. The traditional method of metal cutting in steel is with an oxy-acetylene cutting torch, but the very thing that makes aluminum cor-

rosion resistant in salt water – the oxide coating – is also the very thing that creates a problem when trying to cut the material with oxy-acetylene. The melting point of the aluminum oxide is about 1,000 Cº while the melting point of the aluminum itself is about 600 Cº. By the time the oxide is burned through, the aluminum has melted into a puddle. Luckily aluminum can be easily cut with standard woodworking tools equipped with carbide tipped blades. Aluminum is making major inroads into the marine field beyond just as a building material. It is rapidly

replacing zinc as the main metal in sacrificial anodes used to combat galvanic in boats generally. While there are no perfect boat building materials, aluminum comes very close to being one for many marine applications.

Through one man's determined efforts, a 1934 U.S. Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat lives again. The Port of Astoria's haul-out yard may not sound like a great place to go looking for boating stories, but there is always a wide variety of working boats and yachts on the hard and the chance there might be a story worth re-telling. For the 15 years I have lived in the area, the most unusual and interesting craft I have ever encountered is the 36-foot US Coast Guard motor lifeboat (MLB), built in 1934 and recently found, rebuilt, and fully restored between 2005 and 2012. I first met Glen Cathers, the owner of “MLB 36391,” in the summer of 2013 and introduced myself with the hope of learning enough to write a story. Glen was happy to talk about the project; he briefly recounted the historical connections that he had with the Coast Guard in general and this class of boat in particular, and generously invited me up on deck for a tour. It was clearly an enormous job for one man to undertake, and I realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn more about a time and a boat that were rapidly fading into the past. Standing in the small cockpit, I asked him how this amazing project came together. “I had fallen in love with the motor lifeboat when I was 10 years old,” he recalled. “That was when my father, John L. Cathers, was officer in charge at the Point Adams Station (downriver from Astoria) during the 1940s and 1950s, retiring as a master Chief Boatswain's Mate in 1962. He often took me out in the station’s MLB; and I can still remem-

ber riding in the ‘glory hole’ (foredeck hatch) up in the bow. When they stuck the boat into a wave and the spray broke clean over me, I was smitten from that day on!” Glen served in the Coast Guard on the East Coast in 1959-63, so he never crewed a MLB on the Pacific Coast where the boat had done such vital work. But he moved back to the Northwest when he retired from a career working on the ferries in New York Harbor and soon started looking for a retirement project—preferably a historic boat of some kind. When his wife, Naomi Fisher, asked him what kind of boat he would choose if he could have anything, he replied without hesitation: “I want a motor lifeboat.” “Let's do it,” she said. Starting from Scratch

The first break came when a friend happened to be driving through Seattle and glimpsed an old MLB 36 on Lake Union. “I drove straight up to see it and found it was really rotten, but had some parts and a GM 4-71 engine I could salvage,” said Glen. He trucked it back to his home in Goldendale, Washington overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, and began salvaging whatever he thought was worth saving from this near-derelict hull. But a month later, they found a second MLB 36 in Astoria. “I could see that bronze bullnose on it. I knew right then it was the real deal, even though the interior had been completely gutted

MLB 36391, now called Point Adams, plys the calm waters of Puget Sound. The all-wood, double-ender design turns heads as she makes her way between classic boat festivals and US Coast Guard stations up and down the Oregon and Washington coasts.

I had fallen in love with the motor lifeboat when I was 10 years old. That was when my father, John L. Cathers, was officer in charge at the Point Adams Station during the 1940s and 1950s,

and replaced with one big cabin,” Glen told me. That boat was built in 1934 and was hardly recognizable as an MLB. It was also in a very poor state, but they purchased it anyway and began the restoration that would fill most of his time for the next six to seven years. So you can imagine the surprise and the thrill that he experienced when he was stripping off all the old layers of paint and discovered the original boat number was 36391. “I researched where the boat with that number came from, and lo and behold I discovered it had spent its career at Point Adams at the mouth of the Columbia. It was the very boat I had been on as a boy, and it was used on numerous rescue missions for 22 years. To further my amazement, my aunt gave me two pictures of my father and my uncle on the very same boat.” After the 60-odd years that had passed since his first ride, Glen finally began learning the details of the history and construction of this class. Sadly, the remaining hulls had all been relegated to the status of nautical sculptures at the entrance to some Coast Guard stations on the Northwest coast (there is also one inside the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria). There was only one MLB 36 remaining in operating condition — the famous 36500 maintained by the Orleans Historical Society in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Glen re-planked the hull above the waterline with 1¼” yellow Alaskan cedar, and doubled all the frames with steamed oak timbers. Then he and Naomi riveted

over 5,000 nails and roves to make the hull as strong and tight as it has ever been. Next, he carefully reestablished the original layout by building the six wooden water-tight bulkheads from planks, and recreated the original layout with three separate compartments: the foc’sle (called the survivor ’s cabin) with two single benches (that they now use as bunks), the center house over the engine room, and the helm station. “It’s all new from the waterline up,” Glen declared. But with most of the bronze hardware that was an essential and distinctive part of the boat missing, Glen had to scour the country looking for parts. Piece by piece, like a jigsaw puzzle, they came into his possession. He has a story about every single item and its function when it was the pride of the Coast Guard crew. Crossing The Bar Again

With the thousands of hours spent on the rebuild, I expected Glen would want to keep the boat on the calm waters of the Columbia River and well away from the notorious bar, but I had completely underestimated his passion for this classic. He was intent on running the boat south down the Oregon coast to visit all the Coast Guard stations that depended on this class of lifeboat for surf and offshore rescues for 60 years. With the MLB back in the water with a new coat of anti-fouling paint, Glen was intent on giving it a good trial before setting out. It wasn't long before a retired Coast Guardsman who had served on the same class of MLB heard about the project and caught up with him. When they went out for a ride, Glen invited me to come on board. We headed upriver and spent the next two hours exploring behind Tongue Point around the WW II piers as the Jimmy diesel chugged contentedly away at 1,100 rpm. It was a rare opportunity for me to experience this iconic vessel underway, and I soon became another member of the MLB 36 fan club! In August 2013, I saw the boat again moored at the downtown dock in Astoria. I found Glen and Naomi on board and relaxing after achieving their goal of visiting the Coast Guard stations in Garibaldi, Depoe Bay, Newport, and Florence. “We were given a great reception by the Coast Guard and local people and were the center of attention when we moored at the station or the public dock,” they told me. They estimated about 500 people got a close look at the boat, and over 100 came on board. “We were in big 8- to 12-foot seas off Cape Meares on our way back, so I decided to

This boat is very fortunate, as the vast majority of these vessels, long the backbone of the Coast Guard rescue service, were just hauled up on the beach, stripped, and burned when their working life was at an end. (They were replaced by the new steel 44-footers beginning in 1963). She was built at Curtis Bay, Maryland in 1934 — one of approximately 228 built between 1929 and 1954 — and was operated with a crew of three: the coxswain, an engine man, and a seaman, all working within inches of each other. She is a TR model, 36’ 8” long with a 10’ 6” beam and 3.5' draft. She is selfbailing and self-righting thanks to a 2,000-pound bronze keel. She had retained the original Sterling petrol engine, while the vast majority of the class were re-powered with 4-71 Detroit diesels after WWII. She was sold out of service in the late 1950s and probably used as a commercial fish boat for many years. When I found her in 2005 for sale at the Port of Astoria boatyard, she was almost unrecognizable as a motor lifeboat except for the bronze bullnose on the stemhead and canoe-sterned hull. I believe the only thing that saved this vessel is that it had been kept afloat for all those years. Unfortunately, all six watertight bulkheads, the engine room, lazarette, side decks, well deck, and cockpit had all been removed and replaced with one huge cabin. But I thought the hull could be restored, so we purchased the boat and brought it home, put a roof over it. So began six years of joy and frustration as we brought it back to life. I researched the TR model, finding drawings, visiting static displays, taking pictures, and talking with many people with an interest in these boats. Many of them have donated or sold us parts and fittings of other MLBs over the years. As a result, this boat ultimately is a fusion of at least 11 different motor lifeboats. I could not have completed this restoration without their contributions from all over the USA. OCTOBER 2017 || NORTHWEST YACHTING

open the motor out and give her a chance to run with the weather,” Glen recalled. “I increased the speed to 8 knots and we were soon flying over the waves with no hesitation. The motion is quick but not harsh, and we always felt very secure. The boat has performed perfectly in some tough conditions,” he said with pride. “They were designed to be self-righting when rolled upside down and self-bailing as well. Plenty of crews were ejected from them, and the boats would roll onto the beach with the engine still running,” he pointed out. It’s worth noting that the three crewmen did not have safety straps, in contrast to modern rescue boats. It was only appropriate that Glen and his boat should be the main attraction at the Veteran Lifeboatmen’s Reunion, hosted by Cape Disappointment Station on the first weekend in August 2013. After a couple of years cruising the Columbia, Glen crossed the bar again in 2016 for a

82 NORTHWEST YACHTING || OCTOBER 2017

second trip along the Oregon coast as far as south as Bandon. But this time he also went north to Neah Bay on the northwest tip of Washington, visiting more Coast Guard stations. “We visited 14 or 15 stations over the summer and the crews were good hosts,” he recalled. This historic vessel was always well received wherever they stopped in marinas and public docks. After an ambitious four-month cruise, they returned upriver through the locks at the Bonneville and The Dalles dams. They came downriver again in 2017, and I met up with Glen at the Cathlamet Wooden Boat Festival on the Washington shore east of Astoria early in August 2017. He reckoned the boat now has almost 2,000 nautical miles under her keel in her third incarnation. “This boat was built for 20-year-olds. It's hard on you physically and I'm now 75,” he admitted. I noticed how it now had the name Point Adams.

That is because you need a name, not just a number, for a boat in Washington. "We chose that name to honor the boat's service to the Point Adams station in Hammond." Glen and Naomi have brought the boat back home to Goldendale after a thwarted attempt to appear at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival. They are now settling in for the fall. Peter Marsh grew up in Greenwich, UK, started dinghy sailing in 1963, and witnessed the start of the Singlehanded Trans-Atlantic Race in 1964. He was involved in early trimaran development, then joined Major H.W. Tilman for a voyage to the Arctic in 1971. He came to the United States in 1972 and has only built one more multihull, a small open trimaran that he cruised to Alaska twice in the 1980s, plus a 1986 voyage on the Great Lakes. He described those voyages in his first stories for Northwest Yachting magazine. He has lived in Astoria since 2002. Read many of his stories at www.sea-to-summit.net

I get it. The easiest way to repair and maintain your boat is to hire someone to do it for you. If you wait and watch, you’ll ﬁnd affordable deals on bottom paint and other routine upkeep tasks. For a price, a mechanic will winterize your engine for you or change fluids. Working on boats is messy. There are toxic chemicals for every application. The working conditions in most engine rooms are akin to torture, and no project ever goes as smoothly as you would like. The learning curve on most boat projects is so steep that by the time you figure it out, you have likely spent as much on materials and specialty tools as hiring someone to do the job for you. And still, I am here to sing the praises of hauling your boat to a do-it-yourself yard where you can scrape, sand, paint, and wrench on your boat yourself. Even if it doesn’t end up saving you money, working in a boatyard for a few days can teach you a lot about your boat, give you more confidence while on the water, and give you the increasingly rare opportunity to work with and hang around craftsmen and likeminded boaters. I had the rare opportunity to refit a boat on my own. We bought a derelict 1979 Cape Dory 27 for next to nothing and over the course of three years I stripped out every wire, pipe, tank, and fixture. I pulled the old single cylinder Yanmar and sold it for a few bucks. I then designed and reinstalled new electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. We dropped a new engine in. I repainted the faded decks and topsides. Old through hull fittings were removed and replaced.

I sealed and repainted the bottom. It was a process full of mistakes (like ordering the wrong length of exhaust hose despite measuring four times) and revelations (the new engine, for example, didn’t fit through the companionway). After three years, Peponi was splashed, and for the few years we sailed her, it was with total confidence. I knew every inch of that boat. I knew where every wire was, and I was confident I could fix, repair, or replace anything that needed fixing. If you truly want to understand boat wiring, there is no better classroom than your own boat, a good book, and some wire. Even if all you are doing is new bottom paint, there is much to be learned by doing the job yourself. The seemingly easy task of buying paint becomes a learning experience of its own. Which paints are compatible with what is already on your boat? Which paint will give you the best performance in your marina or cruising ground? When the boat goes back into the water, you will know exactly how well the paint is applied, what condition your anodes are in, whether anything needs

to be repaired, and, importantly, what type of paint is on the bottom. Now the next time you haul out you will know exactly what paint to buy. But aside from the personal knowledge of your boat’s systems and the satisfaction and security of having done the job yourself, the very best part of working on your own boat is dipping your toes into the world of the professionals, the craftsmen, and the old salts who populate the boatyard. Going back even further from my three-year refit of Peponi, my girlfriend and I pulled into the fuel dock in Port Townsend on my old O’Day sloop. As we came alongside the dock, I shifted into reverse only to hear the cable break. The boat was stuck in reverse, and we were stuck in Port Townsend. I went in search of a mechanic. All the shops were booked for weeks out. As I walked out of the last repair shop, the woman behind the counter told me there might be a guy. “He doesn’t have a shop, but he works out of his van. You can usually find him over by the marina office.” And that is where I found him. Look-

ing something like Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future, he became forever known to us as the White-Haired Mechanical Genius. He also turned out to be the kind of generous, helpful person you meet in boatyards. He came onboard, confirmed my diagnosis, and started pulling things apart in the cockpit. He enlisted my help and in an hour or so we had the old broken cable removed. It was the first real mechanical work I had done on that boat, and the relatively simple task of removing a broken shift cable taught me a lot about how the boat was set up. We scoured the local shops for a replacement cable. No dice. It was Saturday. Our trip to the San Juans was off. The White-Haired Mechanical Genius said we’d have to wait until Monday to order a new part. Frustrated, we left the boat at the fuel dock and walked into town for lunch. When we returned, there was a new Morse cable, still in the box, just sitting in the cockpit. Our white-haired friend

was nowhere to be seen. Later that evening, his yellow panel van rattled up to the head of the dock. He walked down, saw the cable still in the box, and furrowed his brow. “I figured you’d be anxious to get going. Thought you’d have this repaired by now.”

Because most products we use on boats are so toxic, marinas and boatyards are becoming more and more the realm of the professional contractor. I had no idea how to repair it and was not anxious to try, and then fail, to fix it. He just sighed, climbed onboard, and as far as I was concerned, replaced the cable with a little help from me. In retrospect,

Recommended Reading Boat Owner’s Mechanical and Electrical Manual by Nigel Calder. This comprehensive book is a fantastic resource for wiring, plumbing, mechanical repairs, and refits. Calder writes for the casual boat owner looking to be more self-sufficient. This Old Boat by Don Casey. More narrative than many other maintenance and repair titles, this book walks you through common repairs and maintenance jobs. Very enjoyable. How Boat Things Work by Charles Wing. Not a how-to manual, but rather a look at the theory and mechanics behind common boat installations. Worth having for the diagrams alone. Modern Boat Maintenance: The Complete Fiberglass Boat Manual by Bo Streiffert. A wonderful book that covers maintenance, projects, and repairs on modern fiberglass yachts. The Boat Repair Bible by Rupert Jones. An excellent resource to have onboard, as it deals with maintenance and projects as well as emergency repairs.

it is clear that I replaced the cable with his coaching. When we needed a bolt, he sent me to the store. When we needed a wrench that I didn’t have onboard, he sent me to the store. By the end of the day, we were up and running. By conservative estimate, the White-Haired Mechanical

Genius spent eight hours working with me or on my behalf. He found the part we needed and taught me to install it. He helped me fix a couple other things we found as we worked. As we prepared to leave, we tried to settle up with him. After some back and forth and some insistence from my girlfriend, he finally relented and accepted $100 for his time even though he was reluctant to take even that. He was content to work on a boat and to help somebody learn about his boat. The only thing that makes this story better is that when I went back a year later to visit him, he had vanished. His ramshackle shop was gone and there was no evidence of his yellow panel van. It’s like he was never real in the first place. These are the kinds of people you meet and discover when you are at a true boatyard. Port Townsend is among the best in the Northwest, in part because it is populated with old salts and true craftsmen who have been doing this work forever. There are also dozens of boat owners who are refitting and repairing their boats. These men and women are quick to loan a tool or an extra set of hands. If you are struggling with a problem with your hydraulics, it is a sure bet

that someone else around you has dealt with the same thing. Instead of looking up your boat’s symptoms online (which is seldom helpful), if you ask around the boatyard you are sure to find someone who has an answer for you. Boatyards are truly one of my favorite communities to hang around. This summer was the first haul-out for our new boat. It was supposed to be a simple one-day project: haul, wash, install a new transducer, paint, and splash. The haul and wash went well. The transducer install was not as straightforward as we had hoped. To get to the hull from the inside of the engine room, I had to remove two 4D batteries and three floor panels. To bolt the transducer in place required a wrench we didn’t have, and when we did borrow one, it took an hour of quarter turns and help from a boat owner nearby to get everything snug. The upside is that I now had experience removing and replacing the house batteries, and I knew what it took to get to the hull in the engine room. I now know where the transducer cable is run. On the next project, I’ll learn a little more. While we waited for sealant to cure and started in on the bottom paint, a young man working on a boat near us walked up to me, cigarette wedged into the corner of his mouth. Our boat had the common yellow staining on the bow and along the water line in a few places. The prospect of buffing it out and polishing the hull was daunting, and we didn’t really have time anyway. “Hey,” he said. “You see these yellow stains? Watch this.” He took a spray bottle out of a bucket, sprayed a little on the hull, and wiped it off with a rag. Gone. He found another

Here we see a typical do-it-yourself scene, complete with cans of paint, paint thiner, acetone, mineral spirits, and more. The process of doing projects yourself is, for many, a vital bonding period between boater and boat. The process also provides on-the-job training for those eager to learn.

spot of yellow. Spray, wipe. Gone. I had been online the night before reading about how to get these stains off the old hull, and all I got was different versions of the same advice: running compound and hard labor. This young man was proud of his work and his knowledge, as he should be. He, like most everyone I’ve ever met in a boatyard, was eager and willing to share his expertise and loan his tools and equipment. He talked with us as he just

kept spraying and wiping. Before long, most of the bow was pure white again. “What is that stuff?” I asked. He laughed as he walked away. “It’s a secret.” Ten minutes later he came back with his business card. On the back, he had written the name of the product. Before we splashed the boat, I walked over to the store and bought a six- pack for him and his workmates. Boatyard currency. Continued on Page 99

Doing it Yourself If you are going to do your own work at the boatyard, there are a few things you can do to make sure things go smoothly: Pick your yard carefully. It’s quite possible that your local boatyard isn’t your best option. Generally speaking, a large yard with multiple marine services businesses and shops is a good bet. Ideally you can walk from your boat to a chandlery to get what you need. Understand the rules. Each marina boatyard has its own set of rules for dealing with chemicals, power tools, washing, and painting. Before you schedule your haul-out, make sure you understand those rules. Boatyards will provide you with a copy of their Best Management Practices (BMPs). If you don’t understand something, ask. You want to be sure you are complying with local rules and regulations. Gather tools. A lot of tools you will need in the boatyard are the sort of things you might need to borrow or rent in advance. Chances are friends and family have shop vacs, power sanders, drills, and whatever else you will need. Inventory parts and materials. When you arrive at the yard, you’ll want all the parts needed to complete your work. Think carefully about screws, bolts, wire, fittings, and sealants, and buy them in advance. Make a work plan. Take the time to be organized in your work. Make a comprehensive list of what each project will require (tools, materials, and parts). Sequence your work to be efficient. Stick to the plan. Be ready for the unexpected. Things will not usually go according to plan. Build in time to solve problems correctly.

RACING SHEET

Here’s the PITCH Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Trisha Hochreiter and Molly Cadranell The fall 2017 season began with one of the most prestigious sailing events in the world, the International 6 Metre Class World Championship (September 15-21, 2017). The event attracted nearly 50 of the most beautiful and immaculately maintained classic racing yachts in the world, plus the likes of King Juan Carlos of Spain, America’s Cup legend Dennis Conner, and who’s who of Olympic and national champions. Racing took place in English Bay in the shadow of Vancouver, B.C., and was hosted by the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. The racers separated into two ﬂeets; the wooden classic yachts and the tech savvy moderns that push the limits of the traditional 6-metre box rule. The event also

split into two stages, with the preworlds hosted two days before the championship began in the form of the Westerleigh Cup. The classic ﬂeet was led by a name common among the biggest yachting races, Dennis Conner. Conner took a commanding lead in the light air racing, but was not able to connect the dots in May Be VII. An over-early at the start pushed him back to second place behind James Hilton’s Lucie. The open division was controlled by the reigning world champion Junior, from Switzerland, and the local heroes aboard the recently splashed and heavily modiﬁed New Sweden. Both boats set the pace with the Canadian team pushing the limits of the 6-metre open class rules with the most modern hardware and

technology. The Canadians took home the Westerleigh Cup trophy in a tie-breaker finish. At the time of this writing, the champions of the International 6 Metre Class World Championship are still to be determined. Preceding the 6-Metre championships, Bellingham Yacht Club played host to the Pacific International Ton Championship, known in racing circles simply as PITCH. The regatta, held traditionally over Labor Day weekend, invites PHRF handicapped and one design fleets for two days of short course buoy racing in Bellingham Bay. Saturday brought light winds and low tides, making for an interesting and literally touch-and-go exit from the marina for the larger racing boats. Light winds slowly

built to a southerly and the course was set for a traditional Bellingham Bay buoy race. The course was rather traditional, with the swirling current making the left side of the course favored upwind, and the right side favored downwind, hence the start and mark rounding became critical as fleets were tightly packed through the race. Fleets took in two races before the wind went light and the tides made any more races unrealistic. Racers packed the boats away and headed to the club that was already full of locals and friends looking to enjoy the party. Sunday began much the same with low tides and light air, but required a lengthy postponement by the race committee before the wind filled enough to set a course. The wind eventually came in from the west, and the uncommon direction took many out of their comfort zone. The race committee set off another two races before the wind settled down for the day, and everyone headed to the club for the awards. The awards party was highlighted by the now famous raffle, with proceeds going to support the BYC youth sailing program. With donations from boatyards, West Marine, and Samson Line, there was something on every boat owner’s wish list up for grabs. With racing season getting underway, it is sure to be an exciting season as crews and boats have been getting dialed in all summer for the fall races. Be sure to look here for race updates on PSSC, Grand Prix, Round the County, and many more!

P RTS OF CALL

Ballard Written by Norris Comer There isn’t anywhere in the world quite like Ballard. Tucked to the west of North Seattle bounded by Shilshole Bay/Puget Sound to the west and the Lake Washington Ship Canal/ Salmon Bay to the south, Ballard is a curious cultural mix with a deep connection to the sea. Known during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as “Snoose Junction” in honor of the chewing tobacco that waves of Scandinavian immigrants enjoyed, the seafaring and logging community has gradually evolved with the rest of Seattle into a trendy bar-hop-n’-shop district complete with expensive apartment complexes. However, maritime industry still reigns supreme along the waterways with shipyards, fabrication factories, and commercial fishing businesses. Hip sushi and cocktail bars coexist a stone’s throw away from shipyards in what is sometimes a tenuous truce, but often a perfect alliance. Old Ballard is still very much alive, a fact I attest to after spontaneously meeting and having a few too many rounds with a Norwegian commercial fisherman at The Market Arms tavern. As long as the Gunnars of Ballard can still be found, the salty soul of the place is thankfully still intact. Many of the commercial crabbers from the hit TV show Deadliest Catch call Ballard home for a reason. Visiting boaters have a few options when visiting Ballard. If arriving from Puget Sound and waters beyond, it makes sense to spare the ordeal of passing through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (aka Ballard Locks) and moor at the publicly owned Shilshole Bay Marina. This massive marina has over 1,400 slips for vessels up to 250 feet and hosts what is largely considered the West Coast’s largest liveaboard community. With events, like movie screenings and community BBQs, plus a hub of boat service businesses, Shilshole Bay Marina is an obvious choice. If you want to moor deeper in the heart of the place, there are a few options beyond the locks along the Lake Washington Ship Canal. These marinas have a more mom-and-pop feel; and Stimson Marina offers covered slips. If passing through the Ballard Locks for the first time, I recommend Northwest Yachting’s feature Unlocking the Locks written by a professional captain that appeared in the March 2017 issue (available online at nwyachting.com). Ballard has all the amenities of Seattle, like grocery stores and a hospital, that a cruiser passing through may need.

90 NORTHWEST YACHTING || OCTOBER 2017

1. Lock it Up The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, commonly referred to as the Ballard Locks, are a defining feature of Ballard and a must-visit location. The locks are steeped in history, and a charming interpretive center, open from 10:00 to 18:00 hours every day during the summer, is a great place to learn more. The Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Gardens on the northern, Ballard side feature beautiful plants from all over the world thanks to the covert seed trading of the man for whom the gardens are named. After a quick, scenic jaunt over the locks–that act as a pedestrian bridge across the water when closed–to the south side, one can view the salmon ladder. The kind of salmon you see will depend on the timing of your visit (August for kings, September for coho, etc.). For boaters, the best part about visiting the locks may be the constant parade of commercial fishing vessels, recreational yachts, and even sometimes Native American canoes that use the locks to transit between Puget Sound to the west and Lake Washington to the east.

2. Nordic Charm Historically, Ballard was the cultural center of Seattle’s large Scandinavian seafaring community. Many of these immigrants fled famine and fears of Bismarck Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to call Ballard home and work in the fishing and logging industries. Even though the actual percentage of Scandinavians has decreased over time, Ballard is proudly under Scandinavian influence. For example, a sculpture garden/plaza at the intersection of Market St. and Leary Ave. is named after Bergen, Norway, a sister city. The Nordic Heritage Museum–currently located at 3014 NW 67th Street but to be relocated to the new larger location on Market Street in 2018–is a virtual lighthouse of all things Scando with historic exhibits, Nordic woodcarving seminars, Nordic knitting conferences, storytime for children, Scandinavian cooking lessons, and much more. Check out nordicmuseum.org to stay in the know with the museum’s offerings.

3. Bike Ballard & Beyond For those with a bike handy, the iconic Burke-Gilman Bike Trail is an artery to adventure. With one end near Shilshole Bay Marina/ Golden Gardens Park on Puget Sound and the other at the winery hub of Woodinville on the east side of Lake Washington, the bike trail gives bikers a safe, protected route through some of the best areas of North Seattle (including Ballard) and beyond. The trail also takes the cyclist through fun neighborhoods like Fremont or the University District. Be warned, the one major gap in the bike trail is through most of the main Ballard drag and newcomers may opt to walk their bikes through that area. If you’re really feeling motivated, you could spend your morning having breakfast in Ballard (Portage Bay Café is good) and your afternoon sipping a glass of Washington wine at the conspicuous Chateau Saint Michelle in Woodinville, all thanks to your two-wheeled companion. It’s best to do a little research online (seattle.gov) to plan your exploration.

4. Brews Or Bust Are Pacific Northwest craft breweries your scene? If so, you’re in luck, because Ballard is ground zero when it comes to the brews. The best place to get started is to the east of the main drag in the less scenic warehouse part of Ballard. Within about a mile radius of the intersection of Leary Way and the 15th Ave. bridge, you will find NW Peaks Brewery, Reuben’s Brews, the Peddler Brewing Company, the Maritime Pacific Brewing Company (and their Jolly Roger Taproom), Lucky Envelope Brewing, Stoup Brewing, Obec Brewing, Populuxe Brewing, Hales Ales Brewery & Pub, Bad Jimmy’s Brewing Co., and more, more, more. Keep in mind that these examples are just the microbreweries and do not include the many great bars and taphouses in Ballard. Most of the breweries have an open, fun atmosphere, friendly locals, and a tasty rotation of food trucks. Hoppy hunting, sailor!

The Ballard Farmers Market ranks as one of the best farmer’s markets in all of Seattle. Located on the cobblestones of Ballard Ave. between Vernon Place and Market St., the market is open year-round on Sundays from 10:00 to 15:00 hours. With over 100 local vendors ranging from Pacific Northwest mushroom hunters, cider houses, family-run fishing operations, craftspeople, farmers, food carts, and more, the market is always a happening place on Sundays. The best part about visiting by boat is that it is all centrally located and you won’t have to worry about parking your car.

ASK THE

EXPERTS

SAILS F E AT U R I N G

JACK CHRISTIANSEN

“Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel” —Augustus Hare

T Jack Christiansen Jack Christiansen is the Loft Manager of North Sails in Seattle. Christiansen’s sailing roots go back to when he was a middle-schooler in Portland, Oregon, who was hooked on racing lasers. He continued his passion for sailing through his college years at the University of Washington, and started his own sailmaking company when in school in 1983. He was a collegiate All-American at UW with many notable wins. Christiansen has been a sailmaker ever since with names like Shore Sails of Puget Sound, Uhlman Sails Northwest, and now North Sails. He has been with North Sails since 1995. “I just wanted to keep sailing and racing, and this seemed like a good way to do it,” says Christiansen.

92 NORTHWEST YACHTING || OCTOBER 2017

he arrival of October signals to many competitive Pacific Northwest sailors that the fall sailing season is drawing nigh, and as a result sailmaking lofts are working overtime. The higher the winds, the faster the sewing machines whir. On the cruising side of the spectrum, owners fresh from summer cruising up north eye the coming rains and prepare accordingly for cloth-wrecking moisture. The mind turns over many sail-related questions this time of year. Forward-thinking (aka smart) boaters think about their goals of their boating future. What kind of sail should I go for this season? How do I keep this mainsail from getting all gross and moldy? We turned to Jack Christiansen, the Loft Manager of the North Sails, for some expert advice on sails. The loft, right above Fisheries Supply in Seattle, was full of sails both new and old when we visited. Christiansen graciously penciled us in during the morning before his bookedup day could whisk him onto the water and into marinas for clients. A lifelong sailor, collegiate sailing All-American, and sailmaker since 1983 when he started his own sailmaking company in college, Christiansen is a wellspring of information.

Q: What’s the typical day like? Is it booked up with you in the field or are you in the loft most of the time? Everyday is a big variety. A typical couple of days may be spent in the loft with my service manger completing repairs and preparing new sails for delivery. We like to put our sails on the boats in person with the customers after they purchase them to make sure the customers know how to use them, where the battens go, go over maintenance tips, and the like. We’ll get quote requests over the internet from our national webpage and we’ll respond to those. If someone wants to order a sail, we’ll get those parameters in and deﬁne what sail we’re ordering for them. The process from order request to sail delivery usually takes about two months. Q: I hear a lot about North Sails and how good they are through dock talk. Why? What makes them special and, in your experience with different makers and brands, do they deserve their reputation? Yes! North Sails is the largest sailmaking business in the world. The company is incredibly diverse and is always pushing the

edges of reality in terms of making sails. The 3Di sails, that we’ve been selling since their debut in 2010, are incredibly durable and used on both racing and cruising boats, as well as the Volvo 60 Around the World boats. 3Di stands for laminate integral sail and refers to North Sails’ patented technology that’s made of ultra-thin unidirectional spread filament tapes that’s preimpregnated with thermoset adhesive and arranged into a three-dimensional, molded, flexible composite membrane. Under load, it has a rigid shape, meaning less distortion underway and hence, less wind resistance from air distortion. Q: So is there a sharp divide between the types of sails used by racers and cruisers, or are there sail designs that are versatile for both? What I find challenging with sailmaking is that you can have three different boat owners who own the same boat, yet they have different goals in mind and thus need different sails. Every job is essentially a custom job, a puzzle for me to solve. North Sails has many products that may fundamentally be built the

same way, but the way that the sails are finished, detailed, and reinforced differ widely. There are a lot of different options to choose from. By owning our own production facilities and the cloth and fabric, North Sails is completely unique. Nobody else does that. We make sails for anybody, and most of our clientele are cruisers. We do the smallest El Toro or Optimist as well as the super yachts over 300 feet. Q: What do you mean that “every job is a custom job?" Firstly, everyone is using their boats differently and need the proper sails for the use. Secondly, boats have odd quirks. For example, somebody installs a roller furler and the drum is at a different height for different anchors. A new jibe needs to accommodate the dimensions. Even production boats, like a Cal 27 for example, are a little different from one another. We have to go measure them. Q: Common vernacular I’ve heard is that if you see a black sail, it’s a racer. If you see a white sail, it’s a cruiser. Is that true? Well, the racers tend to get new boats more often and tend to get new sails for those new boats more often, so they change and are a little more aesthetically oriented toward black or grey sails. The colors are aesthetically pleasing, mostly. Cruisers are usually less concerned with certain aesthetics, and white is normal. Some these days are going with a grey finish, which is a newer trend now that the grey option is more common on the market. Q: Do you have any pro tips keeping sails in good shape? Yes. Pretty simple, but whenever you put your sail up or take your sail down, have your halyards and lines ready to minimize the amount of time the sail is luffing as it goes up or down. If possible, go behind a headland in order to hoist the sail up or down. Look over your sail once a month to see if there’s any problems starting. Especially cruising sails; the sun tends to eat away at the threads, especially where the sacrificial cover is on. If you can rub that with your fingernail and break the threads, you should bring it in to get re-

stitched. You can re-stitch a few times before the cover needs to be replaced if you catch it early. Q: What kind of lifespan does a sail have? Can you sort of bring it back indefinitely with maintenance care? There are sails in our loft that are 20 to 30 years old and still going strong. The important factor for a sail isn't just age, it's the number of hours of use, especially in the sun, that really determines the life of cruising sails. The racing sails tend to be brought in a little earlier as the many eyes of a seasoned crew catch the early signs of trouble quickly. Competitive racers have to be pretty on the ball when it comes to the condition of their sails. Q: As a sailmaker, where do the riggers come in? How do you handle the extra accessories like roller furlers, etc? We arrange with different riggers to install the sails on customers’ boats. We advise or sell clients the hardware ranging from top-down furlers to gennakers to cruising spinnakers. The riggers are brought in early in the process and are usually present throughout installation. There are a lot of options out there in terms of rigging, and it's part of my job to give my client the best advice as to what hardware to buy in accordance to the speciﬁc job at hand. Q: Do you have any tips for fall sail maintenance? We’re coming up on the fall racing season, and we’re pretty lucky in the Northwest where we

North Sails North Sails was founded in 1957 by Lowell North when he was 30 years old. In order to pursue a life of sailmaking, the story goes that North, a UC Berkeley graduate, left behind a budding aeronautic/aerospace engineer career. After winning the Star 23 1959 Midwinter Championship in Los Angeles with his innovative new mainsail design, North Sails rocketed onto the map. North pioneered the use of plastic finishing, radial construction, Mylar laminates, and computer use before selling his company in 1984. The company has continued to innovate and maintain its place as a top-tier sailmaking company, considered by most to be the largest in the world.

have great spring and fall sailing seasons. There’s great daytime winds when the summer heat goes away. When everyone goes sailing on the weekends, there will be wind again. My best piece of advice is to get out there and sail your boat, as much as you’re tolerant of rain and cold, of course. Sails, and boats in general, tend to deteriorate when left idle and neglected in the slip for extended periods of time. Q: What are some good ways for sailors to keep moisture away from their sails? Take your sails oﬀ in the fall or early winter if you’re a cruiser.

Give us a call if you want us to help. Removing your sails and storing them in a dry place will keep the green mildew from growing. The mildew is purely aesthetic, but it saves a cleaning bill down the road when you want your sails looking nice. Storing your sails just goes a long way to giving the sails a long and productive life. If it’s raining out when you’re using your roller furler, you should return to the boat when there’s no wind and unfurl the sail to let it dry out. You don’t want to stow your sails wet.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein

many anglers. Simply put, this means casting out and retrieving a jig while twitching it up and down. It’s fun and productive! Chum salmon are usually willing biters and always hard ﬁghters in the river. After a morning of catching and releasing “dogs,” your arms will almost be too tired to hoist that lunch time beverage. Almost. And don’t forget Chinook salmon ﬁshing on the Columbia River. October is the time places like the Hanford Reach really heat up. The Fraser River in B.C. can be good

for sturgeon in the fall and provide something diﬀerent. If you don’t have a river boat or have never plied the big streams, going with a guide is a great way to spend the day and learn how. So that’s a wrap for opportunities in awesome October. The crowds have thinned and the pace has slowed. The weather can still be phenomenal during the day and a heater on the boat can warm those mornings. Until next time, get the frost oﬀ the pumpkin and go get some!

Kevin’s Pick: Scotty fishing products of British Columbia have made life better for the salmon fisherman since 1952. They have improved and perfected a tough, simple, and reliable downrigger. From the old standby model 1106 to the highspeed digital 2106, Scotty downriggers are the Northwest’s workhorses. Easy to maintain and find parts for, you’ll see them on fishing boats from Northern California to Alaska and beyond. Scotty also carries a large assortment of rod holders and other complementary products. Check out the full fishy line up at scotty.com.

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.

Unfortunately, the days of working on your own boat might be coming to an end before long. Because most products we use on boats are so toxic, marinas and boatyards are becoming more and more the realm of the professional contractor. Liability is high, and environmental impact is a real concern. Many yards, such as Marine Service Center and CSR Marine, stopped letting owners work on their own hulls years ago. A few,

such as Port Townsend, Everett, and Edmonds still allow do-ityourself owners to paint, but there might come a time when the environmental liability is simply too high. You can help by making sure to follow the rules. Even yards that let owners work on their own boats necessarily implement such strict environmental impact rules that it can become cost-prohibitive to do a one-off job on your own boat. I still argue that it is worth

it. Finding a self-service yard or hauling your boat to your own property to do a refit or a paint job is immensely satisfying. There are very few jobs onboard that an average boat owner can’t do. A little research, some trial and error, and a bit of mechanical aptitude, and you can fix or install most anything yourself. You will learn more about your boat in one weekend of work than in years of cruising. Greg Van Belle grew up sailing, cruising, and fishing Puget Sound. He lives in Seattle and teaches writing at Edmonds Community College. You can follow him on Twitter @gregvanbelle.

The deadline for ad submission is the 5th of each month for the NEXT month’s issue. In the above example, the January issue would have come out on January 1st. You cannot retroactively place an ad in a magazine that has already been printed.

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

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