[ SNAPSHOTS, MAIL, AND ON THE WATER TALES FROM OUR EXTENDED CREW—YOU! ]

[ NEW YEARS NEWS ] Welcome Home

As Vulcan’s Lake Union Piers project continues to evolve here in Seattle—which we covered in our November issue and you can still catch online at nwyachting.com—several local yacht brokers are greeting the New Year by coming home to their newly refreshed digs. Swing by and say hi to the fine folks at Worth Avenue Yachts, Hampton Yacht Group, Chuck Hovey Yachts, and others to see the progress in person. Also found at Lake Union Piers: the new offices for Northwest Yacht Brokers Association, which recently announced the hire of Director of Operations Karli Houlé. An extra special “welcome!” to Karli!

[ INSIDE THE ISSUE ]

Ride Along

The best kind of research: As he delved into the Pure Watercraft feature for this month’s issue (see pages 52-59), writer Randy Woods hopped aboard a RIB outfitted with the Seattle company’s electric outboard engine (and even an extra battery) for a ride around Lake Union. He reflects:

When I met Pure Watercraft marketing manager Gabe Johnson, we had a chat about the use of heavy batteries, even on small vessels like the 12’ RIB we were riding in. “With these rigid inflatables, you can put one in the console and one in the back, so you can have two,” he said. “Adding more packs won’t make you go faster, but it’ll last longer. You can put up to 10 batteries in a series if you want.” You’d never know the boat was carrying more than one battery pack the way were zipping around, almost silently and with the sweet absence of any engine exhaust.

[ BROKER'S BEST ] Slip Sisters

While perusing the pics of Spirit So Moves, a 2004 Westcoast 46 from Chuck Hovey Yachts, for this month’s Broker’s Best feature found on pages 40-41, we noticed a familiar silhouette in the background. It was none other than Safari, the sleek 80’ Symbol pilothouse from Worth Avenue Yachts you’ll find on a preceding spread (pages 38-39, to be exact). It made us smile to realize these amazing offerings are not only pals in our pages, but in real life, too!
