COMMENT

That sinking feeling In the wake of the Costa Concordia disaster is Francesco Schettino now Captain Scapegoat?

C

aptain Francesco Schettino was at the helm of the Costa Concordia when the ship hit rocks and sank in 2012, killing 32 people and injuring another 150 passengers and crew. Accused of taking the liner too close to the shore and then abandoning ship with passengers and crew still on board he has been found guilty, at the court in the city of Grosseto, of manslaughter and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Italy’s Ministry of Infrastructures and Transports has found that: “The ship was sailing too close to the coastline, in a poorly lit shore area, under the Master’s command who had planned to pass at an unsafe distance at night time and at high speed (15.5 kts).” The 54-year-old is appealing against the verdict with his arguing that it was a collective failure of the ship’s crew and that others particularly the ship’s shore based managers should share some of the blame for the disaster. When denying the charges Schettino said he was being made a scapegoat. Now Salty Seadog is never going to side with the Master and try and make light of what was a truly tragic incident. Nor is he going to suggest that the sentence is too harsh. In fact Salty Seadog believes the man deserves at least that for being so un-seamanlike as to trip and fall accidentally into a waiting lifeboat during the height of the incident! But Salty Seadog does question whether it is right that the owners and operators of this ship, and many more, should get away with it Scott free. Lawyers for the plaintiffs have said they are pleased with Schettino’s conviction, but some have complained to the court that no one from the cruise company’s upper management was ever charged with a crime, and Salty suggests they may have a point. ÁÏ ¾V ½}b µ} ®µ o²µ½ noOb²V ½} ²Y noOb² 8 Y }b µ 8 were all convicted on differing charges under a plea bargain deal

in which none has served prison time. To date no one from the cruise company’s upper management has ever been charged with a crime. Is that fair? Costa Crociere S.p.A. trading as Costa Cruises is based in Genoa, Italy, and in 2000 was acquired by Carnival Corporation. The Italian division is now one of eleven cruise ship brands operated by Carnival. Carnival are far from being rank amateurs at the cruise ship business they are, on the contrary, very much masters of their trade and run their ships very well indeed, laying down instructions on how each and every incident should be handled. When they spot a practice they dislike they issue comprehensive easy to follow instructions on how the matter may be handled more to their liking. So that begs the question why did they not ban the practice of sailing so close to the rock ringed island of Giglio. Giving evidence at the trial Captain Schettino told the court that Costa Cruises managers had granted him permission to perform a sail-past on 13 January. On 14 August 2011, the ship had again taken a similar sail-past route, and that sail-past was also approved by Costa Cruises to coincide with a festival that was taking place on the island. There are as many similarities between a cruise liner and a superyacht as there are differences. This means that in many incidences, the same operating rules, conditions and practises apply. Schettino clearly broke ISPS regulations by inviting the maître d’hôtel of the ship, who is from the island, to the ship’s bridge to view the island during the sail-past. Where does this leave the yacht Captain when charter guests want to visit the bridge as the yacht passes through say, the Corinth Canal? ,}b Y È8 Y8 Ob²V O8 b ²½8 V ½bµ½ obY ½}8½ µ}b É8µ in a romantic relationship with the Captain and was also on the bridge. Will that mean soon that the Chief Stew who happens to be the Captain’s wife cannot join him on the bridge at times?

She knows everything about the boss and his family from their favourite tipple to their underpants size and breezes through every guest trip with ease. She mops up the crew’s tears when they’re having a meltdown mid charter and offers up a nice cup of tea with a custard crème…and that’s just the captain. She works longer hours with less drama than the new kids despite being older than their mums and she still looks great doing it. All hail the seasoned chief stew who can deal with those last minute charters and changes without cracking her perfect foundation! Bless her.

Mythical Sea Creature

Time taken to swim around the Isle of White Anna Wardley, Gosport

Named marine species in the world’s oceans

Abaia is described in Melanesian mythology as a large eel-like monster that lives in the bottom of freshwater lakes in the Fiji, Solomon and Vanuatu Islands. The Abaia is said to consider all creatures in the lake its children and protects them furiously. It has been suggested that the Abaia legend may have stemmed from encounters with an actual undiscovered species of giant eel.

TATTOO COVER UP MAKE UP Tats are not cool when visible in a yacht uniform… and could stop you getting your dream job. Coverderm and Dermablend can hide them. Lasting for 24 hours, waterproof, and they don’t rub off on expensive furnishings!

SANTA CATALINA IN PALMA DE MALLORCA Lots of hip bars, hangouts and restaurants, plus new cafés and local businesses have opened up over the past year. All that on top of the awesome original businesses and markets have made this cool old town very chic.

ETOs There seems to be a shortage of IT experts on the Med this season. With superyachts getting larger and the whole comms and AV system becoming more and more elaborate, this department is under more scrutiny. Get your CoC and get on rotation.

SAVING OUR OCEANS As soon as we all realise that this is where we earn our living the better. The pollution of our oceans is not decreasing, and we all need to get behind the various causes protecting our oceans.

SKINT CREW Due to lack of forethought and savings many crew have missed out this season because they can’t afford to do their OOW courses or Engineering modules. It’s competitive out there and even some deck jobs are looking for guys and girls who have started their OOWs.

ACCOMMODATION SHORTAGE At the start of the season there seems to be heaps of crew looking for a bed all over the Med. Is there more crew looking for that first step onboard? Is there a shortage of decent accommodation?

SOCIAL MEDIA PICS Come on guys, get it into your heads. If you’re still posting drunken half naked shots of you and your ‘mates’ on facebook or any other social network, please remember that every recruitment company and Captain is also looking at the very same page.

FAUX RECRUITMENT COMPANIES I guess it can be expected this time of year that these scammers are re-appearing. But to be honest, do your own homework guys, don’t send anyone money especially if they have a gmail.com email address!

It’s undisputed that the Western Med remains a centre of events in yachting; for me it exudes charm but it’s a bit like worn out luxury. On the other side, the Eastern Med can learn from the mistakes of the Western Med. It seems to be marching towards the top by providing quality service and tax relief, plus it has more than 4000 islands to discover.

MARTI MORRIS First Mate Eastern Med, in particular Split. Brilliant night out, great culture and some of the best locals I’ve ever met. Every Croatian I met was passionate about their country, wanted to share it and unlike some western Med countries didn’t scornfully glare at you when you approach them and spoke English.

BEVIN DE LANGE Bosun Eastern Med. Its not so busy on the cruising grounds, I love the food, the culture and it’s just a completely different energy.

MY OPINION

Be our guest Joey Meen looks at the run away success of the PYA GUEST programme

I

am writing this following yet another trip to audit yet another course for the Interior crew of the Superyacht Industry; yup a PYA GUEST (intermediate level II) course….. (Italy!)….It is two years since the PYA GUEST programme has been fully functional and running, and as we near the 3000 mark for the  Fb² n - +, Ob²½ oO8½bµ µµÂbY µ Ob ½}8½ ½ bV ½ µ} ɵ a good indication of how quickly this training platform has been adopted within our sector. ,}b (² nbµµ 8 58O}½ u еµ O 8½ ½ n ² ² o½ }8µ Èbµ½bY much time and energy in its CPD workgroup to promote and u² É ½}b ½b² ² ½²8 u 8 Y Ob²½ oO8½ ½ 8½ Èb n É u ½µ four year development period; the GUEST programme (Guidelines n ² - obY ÊOb b Ob +b²È Ob ,²8 u ¢ Part of this promotion included an eye opening GUEST Awareness workshop for heads of industry earlier this year (the guest list included well established and renowned Charter Brokers, Crew Agents, Managers and owners’ representatives), who attended ½ bÊ b² b Ob 8 Y ²b8 µb ½}b ²½8 Ob n ½}b Fbµ b } u} b Y training GUEST offers.

Please do not think for one moment I am blaming the interior crew…without whom we would never have had the yachting bÊ b² b Ob É b²µ }8Èb b ËbY ½ Y8½b¢ ² ½b² ² O²bÉ Y ½}b µ½ 8 8Î u F Ybµ ½b } µ½ ² O8 Ë ½ }8È u O b½bY any “required level of training” prior to being employed.

Ecclestone is a proud father, although admits time spent in the paddock and pit areas at Formula One races the world over have left him wishing he had spent more time with the pair. “I didn’t devote as much time to them as I would have liked,” he says. “I never neglected my daughters, quite the opposite, but I suppose I could have and should have spent more time with them.” He has no regrets, however, when it comes to his dedication to changing the way Formula One markets itself though, saying “This is what I needed to do with my life. But when your daughters are no longer there for you to look after, you always think about how you could have done things a bit differently.” Petra and Tamara, who are often seen partying on the superyacht off the coast of Monaco, have seemingly inherited their father’s sense of entrepreneurial nous; a streak that Ecclestone admits has made parenthood a lot easier on him. “I let them do their own thing,” he says. “Overall they’ve made some very good investments and I don’t worry that they can’t manage on their own. They don’t make decisions casually.” The two have come under some harsh criticism from the press for their party girl image. Bernie realises this is part and parcel of being his daughter: “When it’s necessary I will defend them,” he says. “They’re in the public eye and because of their name and so on they are going to pay a price for that. Doing television also bÊ µbµ b ½ ½}8½¢ ½ ½}b˯²b F ½} Y b Âu} 8 Y F² u}½ enough to be able to handle things.” As well as his business savvy, Petra and Tamara have also inherited Bernie’s thick skin. “They have strong personalities.

Petara’s engines, two diesel Caterpillar Inc Model 3516Bs, with twin screw propulsion, is something of a beast, but while Ecclestone has never taken the wheel in his native sport of F1, he is no stranger to speed. His legacy in Formula One is unmatched in terms of marketing and commercial interest, but he speaks about it in somewhat modest and realistic terms. “All sports have developed and I took some charge of things because they needed to be done and if it hadn’t been me someone else would probably have brought Formula One forward,” he muses. “What we did was to make the necessary changes and I’m happy to have been part of that process.” It was a lengthy process turning the amateurish presentation of F1 into the polished product it is today. “It was a case of looking at things which needed to be improved,” Ecclestone ²bO8 µ¢ ¬ Y Y ¯½ }8Èb 8 Ë µ½²8½buË n ² bÊ 8 Y u ½}b µ ²½ but I knew what had to be changed for the sake of the sport and making it a better product.” He credits this approach with his success in heading up the brand as a whole: “That kind of thinking probably helped me when I began managing things and was able to make the changes we all knew had to be made. 8½b² bÉ Éb }8Y ½ bÊ 8 Y FbË Y ² b 8 Y u ½ е 8 and places like Singapore.” A renowned dealmaker, Ecclestone is responsible for negotiating the current Concorde Agreement among the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) and the Formula One Administration which dictates how revenues and prize money is split, and the terms by which races are contested. He describes his skill as a negotiator, saying “it’s like being a singer or an artist. You’re born with certain gifts and you use them as best you can in life.” It has been a steep learning curve for Bernie, who has been the brains behind some of F1’s most lucrative television contracts. “You begin to learn and recognise that you have certain skills and aptitudes that you apply, then use them to carry you forward. I don’t have any talent as an artist but I do have an awareness for business and what you need to bring to that world. It helps to know what you’re good at.” At the ripe old age of 85, he shows no signs of slowing down. “I don’t think I will ever need to hand over my job to someone b µbV­ }b µ8˵ É ½} ½}b µ ²½ n Ybo8 Ob ½}8½ }8µ }b bY } ½Â² Formula One into a multi-billion dollar empire. “If I’m not here there will always be someone capable to do what I’m doing.” 3}b ²b½ ²b b ½ o 8 Ë Y bµ FbO b 8 ²b8 µ½ O ½ n ² Ecclestone, there are worse places to spend it than on board (b½8²8· 8 µÂ b²Ë8O}½ Fbo½½ u 8 8 É} }8µ ½ 8 b }8µ µ ÂÊÂ²Ë } µ È O8½ n ² b8² Ë sÏ Ëb8²µ¢

Her stylish interior from the London based and award winning studio Bannenberg & Rowell has a distinctly Far Eastern, restful feel, inspired by the designs of Dieter Rams, Frank Lloyd-Wright and Tadao Ando. The sea trials took place in the North Sea in relatively calm conditions, with average wave heights of 0.5m and south easterly winds from 4 to 16 knots max. Powered by two MTU8V 4000 M63 diesel engines, Asya’s well engineered steel hull with bulbous bow provided smooth passage and exceeded the contractual speed by 0.8 knots. At her cruising speed (12 knots) she has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.

In his time Captain Nikos Politis has been a Master of cargo ships and tankers, a yacht owner, a yacht charterer and also founded the Alpha Marine Group, the yacht agency service. His favourite cruising grounds are in the Cyclades where an itinerary really has to cover these places: Mykonos; a cosmopolitan island with a great nightlife, boutiques and plenty of restaurants. Then Delos: the birthplace of Apollo, an unspoilt haven dotted with historical landmarks and archaeological sites. Ideally, according to Nikos, you then cruise onto Mylos, home of the great underground Milos catacombs. Finally, he recommends dropping anchor at Serifos, quiet, low-key and very Greek!

The company offers luxury transfers to clients and guests, especially in clubby Mykonos and Athens and reports no changes to cruising regulations since last year.

TURKEY Dave Stanley and Dina Street are the core of Southern Cross Blue Cruising, offering charters of traditional gulets and bareboats in Turkey and yacht agency services. Their sister company Bodrum Yacht Services operates brokerage ad maintenance services. One of Dina’s favourite cruising grounds is the Gulf of Gökova. Blue cruise is the term used to describe the routes taken by indigenous wooden motor sailors along the turquoise coast of Turkey. Explains Dina; ’The original Blue Cruise was founded by Cevat Sakir KabaaȘ8Q aV ½}b oµ}b² 8 of Halicarnassus. Exiled to Bodrum from Istanbul for political dissent, he fell in love with the town and its people. He brought with him a wealth of city knowledge, including botany, and planted many of the beautiful tall palm trees which now line Bodrum harbour’. At the end of the summer season when sponge divers returned from the Mediterranean,

it was tradition to sail through the Gulf of Gökova, and Cevat Sakir joined these sponge divers on their journeys. Dina explains the Gulf has not changed much since the days when Cevat Sakir sailed in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, with only a couple of little villages and no major modern developments along its shores. ‘For a real step back in time, ½} µ u n µ ² o²µ½ O} Ob n ² 8 8 Y F8O cruise in nature. It’s also ideal for sailing, as there is a gentle breeze which picks up in the early afternoon and dies down again in the evening’. Another itinerary Dina loves is from Bodrum to Göcek. ‘When we’re feeling like some action, this stretch of coastline is our favourite. There is a great mix of antiquities (Knidos), towns (Datça), beautiful anchorages (Serçe), land excursions (Dalyan river delta), natural wildlife (Iztuzu beach with its Caretta Caretta turtles) and a possible side trip to the Greek Island of Symi. The area around Göcek is also stunning with literally hundreds of anchorages to choose from. Göcek town is charming and has one

Canyoning Canyoning through Nevidio Canyon, near Durmitor National Park, is reserved for the serious adventurer to test their nerve. The experience takes you swimming, jumping and navigating through the canyon and its system of rapids and waterfalls. The name Nevidio translates as ‘invisible’, and is a reference to the enclosed environment of the gorge, which at some points through its 3.5km length is less than 2m wide. Discovered in 1965, the canyon is now a serious destination for thrill seekers with the safest months being July and August.

Skiing Skiing attracts a huge number of tourists during the winter months. Ski centres in Zabljak and Kolasin, located in the foothills of the Durmitor and Bjelasica Mountains are covered with snow for 120 days per year. The popular Kolasin Ski Resort is easily accessed being only a 3 hour drive from the coast, and offers excellent ski hotels and spa resorts that are well worth the visit.

Horseback riding One of the best ways to discover the countryside taking in a vast array of scenic spots throughout Montenegro and is the favourite activity of nature lovers. The experience is available for all levels of horse riders throughout the year. The regions around Bjelasica, Komovi, Sinjajevina and the Durmitor Mountain ranges are well known for horse riding and will let you travel through habitats home to the local breeds of wild horses.

SWEET DREAMS Sleep deprivation. It’s all part of the job right? But could it be †‡–”‹Â?‡Â?–ƒŽ –‘ ’‡”ˆ‘”Â?‹Â?‰ ›‘—” †—–‹‡•Ǎ ”‹…ƒ ƒ› ‘ƥ‡”• ƒ†˜‹…‡ on improving both your health and your sleeping habits

L

et’s say it’s an ideal world, you’re getting all the rest hours as stated in MLC, SOLAS etc‌ but getting hours of shut eye on an operational vessel isn’t always easy. You might be trying to sleep during the day, or on a rough passage. It might be noisy all around your cabin; not just from crew but from the guests. You can’t exactly tell them to pipe down can you? So why is sleepiness such a problem? Well, sleep deprivation has been blamed for some pretty massive disasters. The 1986 Chernobyl disaster for example. The Exxon Valdez oil spill for another example. Being tired makes your reaction time much slower; so if you’re in charge of driving the guests to shore in the tender (or come to think of it, the actual yacht‌) this can be a bit of a problem. It can make you a bit clumsier; so watch out for that hot pan or iron. Or if you’re like me, that door frame that surely wasn’t right there before‌. Tired people have more accidents, that’s the basic fact of the matter here. Lack of sleep can seriously impede your learning and development. During the various sleep cycles we experience each night (or day depending if you got the short straw on the watch schedule), memories are embedded in the brain, so if you don’t get enough shut-eye, you might not remember what you learned (or saw, so maybe not always a bad thing when the guests are partying) the next day. It reduces attention span so when the boss is telling you how dirty he wants his Dirty Martini, how his guests

want their margaritas, daiquiris, espresso martinis and so on you may need to write things down when you realise all you can hear is Charlie Brown’s teacher talking at you. Not that you should be getting up to no good whilst on board, but lack of sleep also reduces the libido. And it makes you look ‘‡Yb²h ˑ² F‘YĂ‹ O8Â?¯½ oĂŠ €½¾b‡n É}bÂ? €½¯¾ 8É8†b 8‡‡ ½}b ½Â€ÂŠb ¾‘ ˑ² Â?Ă‚nnĂ‹ bĂ‹b F8uÂľ FbO‘Šb Â?b²ÂŠ8Â?bÂ?½ oĂŠ½Ă‚²b¾¢ ‘½ ½Â‘ ŠbÂ?½Â€Â‘Â? oÂ?b ‡€Â?bÂľV Y8²Â† O€²O‡bÂľ 8Â?Y }b²bÂŻÂľ ‘Â?b ½Â‘ Fb O‘Â?Ob²Â?bY 8F‘½V ½}b body releases a stress hormone called cortisol when it’s tired which breaks down the collagen in your skin. That’s the stuff in all the expensive creams that keeps your skin young and healthy. Being tired makes people hungrier as the body craves high sugar and high fat yummy stuff to keep going, it’s hard to say no when you’ve been on the go for hours, so weight gain is another side effect of not sleeping enough. People who sleep less than six hours a day are reportedly more likely to become obese according to recent studies. And it can make you more susceptible to €Â?nbO½Â€Â‘Â?¾¡ ÉbÂŻĂˆb 8‡‡ FbbÂ? ²Ă‚Â?

Don’t be too hard on someone for bursting into tears just because the toaster was set too high and their breakfast isn’t quite right either. Being tired can make the hardest people emotional. Or grumpy. So when the engineer snaps at you give him a break, he’s probably just tired. And cranky. So what can we do when we’re faced with trying to get some kip in the middle of the day on a break when ½}b Ë8O}½ }8µ o 8 Ë µ½ bY ² O u 8 Y ² u¨ b²b comes the power nap… There are a few easy steps to n É 8µ½b² u ½}b 8²½ n ½}b Éb² 8 ¢ ²µ½ Ë o Y a good spot. The table in the crew mess is probably not ideal unless you want something to land on your head (on purpose, possibly an ironing board or iron depending on how tired the stewardess is). Ideally your cabin. You may wish to invest in some ear plugs or put in some noise cancelling earphones.

Afternoons are usually the best time to have a power nap. Why do you think the Spanish invented the post lunch siesta?

If you do this, make sure you have someone who knows what you’re doing who can come and wake you up in case of emergency, or at the end of your nap (or put your phone on vibrate under your pillow). Not all yachts allow those earphones or ear plugs due to risk of not hearing an alarm so check this out with the captain/ mate on board before I get the blame for you missing work. Listen to something soothing or try something like an audio book or a podcast. Aim for a short period of say 20 to 30 minutes. Don’t overdo it or you might feel worse. Afternoons are usually the best time to have a power nap. Why do you think the Spanish invented the post lunch siesta? It takes practice but once you get the hang of it you can tailor your power naps; if you feel too tired then reduce the time. Need a few more minutes? Try that too. Power napping is no replacement for missing a lot of sleep but could help you get through the day; do your best to get some quality sleep as soon as you can. That means not sitting up in the crew mess to watch the end of that awful movie (you won’t remember the end of it anyway). Obviously if you’re on the late shift then it might come down to another can of redbull or cup of coffee and grinning and bearing it but try to get into the habit of sleeping when you have rest hours, regardless of time of day. When that caffeine leaves your system you will crash and burn… So drink lots of water (dehydration increases that sluggish feeling) and try to eat the right stuff; any good chef will tell you to reach for snacks with a healthy balance of protein, fat and carbs like a cereal bar. Easier said than done when there’s a drawer full of chocolate but you’ll thank me for it in the long run! Sweet dreams!

BLUE LIGHT When the brain clocks blue light, it slows this shutdown process, assuming the glow of your laptop is in fact daylight, an indicator that you should be wide awake. It follows, then, that TVs, phones, laptops and so on are best kept as far away from the bedroom as possible. Go so far as to charge your smartphone in a different room during the night. Your bedroom should be a space dedicated to sleep and sleep alone (with one obvious exception, the kind you’ll gladly stay awake for).

Connect 4 Steve Smith looks at the innovative solutions for superyachts delivered by 4G

W

ith the roll out of 4G coverage on shore and lowering of data costs the opportunity for the maritime industry to take advantage of high speed low cost connectivity has never been so compelling. The information age has proved expensive for those who live and work at sea. The burgeoning requirement for internet access in all walks has put increased pressure on owners and operators to provide high speed internet access available to crews and guests on board, and the use of Vsat traditionally has been an expensive and relatively slow solution. Now skippers are turning to the growing shore based mobile networks, capable of up to 100Mbps download speeds, to deliver the sort of high speed connectivity that users require. Whilst the solution is good it also brings its own challenges in choosing the right kit for the job and also keeping up to date with the wide range of data SIM card packages available in different countries. Add to this mix the lack of a global standard set of operating systems and radio frequencies and it is not surprising that a certain amount of confusion exists.

expensive and largely impractical. However, the problems apart, lying at anchor close to the shore or in marinas, there is generally a good opportunity to use a 3G/4G modem or router to provide 8 §Â8 ½Ë O bO½ n ² F ½} o ÊbY YbÈ Obµ 8 É ²bY b½É ² or via Wi-Fi to the various smart phones, laptops and tablets that are all hungry for data. In such situations the costs against Vsat are comparatively minimal and worthy of the time and effort invested by the diligent captain to provide this increasingly essential service.

Tips •

Speak to specialist providers.

•

Use external antenna systems where possible to improve signal range and quality

•

Dual SIM modems make life much easier when operating across borders

•

EU frequencies for 3G are 2100 and 900Mhz, 4G/LTE uses 2600, 2100, 1800, 900 and 800Mhz

Vessels operating in coastal waters in individual countries have an easier choice insomuch that one operator’s SIM package will support them in most situations up to maybe 15 miles offshore, but there are still “not spots” to be encountered where there is little or no signal and there are still areas where one operator provides coverage and another doesn’t.

•

²½} Ð b² O8 8 Y 8² FFb8 µ 8 bo b Y n Y nnb²b ½ networks and individual operating systems, be warned! As a rule stick to 3G/HSPA+ devices on 1900 and 850Mhz – 4G and LTE will restrict you to individual operators such as AT&T, Sprint or Verizon, don’t go there!

Travelling across borders creates other problems as data roaming from one country’s operator to another is prohibitively

CAPTAIN’S PROFILE

Captain Julian Sincock talks about his life experiences and time spent on board Princess K

What made you join the superyacht industry? I had been chartering my own Swan 51 around the Atlantic for nine years and I thought it was time for a change from proper Ë8O}½ u¢ Ë o²µ½ µÂ b²Ë8O}½ É8µ b² 8 (² Obµµ¢ }8Y Fbb the Trials Master at Princess International when hull #1 of their 40 metre range was launched. Which is your favourite Mediterranean port and why do you like it? St Tropez except in July and August, because of its great location and the selection of bars and restaurants is fabulous. My favourite is the terrace of the Hotel Sube on the harbour of St Tropez, after a great day’s racing at Les Voiles. The Mediterranean is said to be crowded with superyachts. Where do you think the best spot to get away from the others is? I love the Mediterranean and have lots of secret spots in which to anchor. I really like Corsica, although realise at times it does get busy. If you could recommend a Mediterranean yacht service to another Captain what would it be? Antoine Capstick of Pondoro Yacht Fuels and Berths in Cannes, because he is a legend and actually does what he says. He is one of the very few agents to put his prices up on the Internet and he sticks to his motto of Keep Calm and Love Yachting. What makes your yacht special? The owner’s programme has allowed us to travel with the job extensively in the last two years including the Seychelles, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and now the Med. What do your crew do really well? Look after the owner’s every need, without hesitation. What is your attitude to employing couples on board? I work on board with my partner who is the purser on board, so I am open to employing couples. However, a lot of couples do tend to have an unrealistic expectation of salaries. It is more of a risk employing a couple, so I am sorry but I will offer them as a pair slightly less than two individuals.

What’s the best idea you’ve ever copied from another captain? How not to manage people. É Y bµ ½}b O oYb ½ 8 ½Ë O Ob ½ ½}b Yµ½²Ë }b ² hinder you? I think it is absolutely necessary for what we do and is just a fact of life. What advice would you give to someone new entering the industry? Take your time, it’s not a rush to get to the top of the pole. Get experience the right way by serving your time on board. If you want to eventually be a Captain, spend time, loads of time getting experience as a Captain on smaller boats, and work your way up. Aim to be a seaman, a real seaman. What makes you stand out as a Captain? I am still alive and doing the job after 26 years as a Captain on small plastic boats, a miracle really! I would like to be remembered as a Captain as someone who is approachable by the crew and who gives people a chance. What would you like to do when you cease being in command of a superyacht? Grow a long beard, get loads of tattoos and become a street racer. In other words I can’t see it ever happening! Boats are what I do, I enjoy them and the work I do, and I will continue to Y ½  ½ µ}Ânqb nn ½} µ ²½8 O ¢

Quick Fire Morning or night time person? ² uV Ybo ½b Ël 8µ½ o Ë Â µ8É 8 O b 8¨ Kingsman Favourite style of cuisine? Something that someone else cooks. Three dream dinner party guests? Bear Grylls, he can come up with the menu for a laugh, Winston Churchill and my ancestor Cardinal Pole. Where in the world would you visit if you had the chance? Alaska Best childhood memory? Ë o²µ½ ½² 8O² µµ 8 É YË ²½} Sea at the age of 13 in a Contessa 32. I vomited most of the way and loved it

Do you have a pet hate and if so what is it? Whining crew who are paid very high salaries. Let’s be honest, most yacht crew get great time off out of high season, great living conditions all paid for and tax free salaries. Not bad. I especially hate it when crew with six months experience start getting demanding and telling me that they are now worth more.

Your worst habit? Bouncing around the boat, apparently I never sit still.

If you had a magic wand what would you change in your job? Budgets, just give me the money to do the job right!

The look on the face of the new mate, the day after he joined us in the Seychelles. He dived under the yacht to clean the props, when he surfaced we told him that the area was literally full of bull sharks. His face was a picture and I have never seen anyone get out of the water faster than he did!

WEAR IT

ROPED IN The espadrille has a colourful past. Born in the Pyrenees, the canvas and braided jute sandal shod the King of Aragon’s infantry in the thirteenth century. It also took Salvador Dalí on seaside strolls and a young JFK on Cape Cod vacations. By the 1940s, the girls had gotten in on the game, and the sandal was a Hollywood staple. Its ribbons crisscrossed the ankles of Sophia Loren and Grace Kelly, and Rita Hayworth accessorised her one piece with a pair for 1947’s The Lady from Shanghai. The espadrille reached new heights in the late sixties, when Yves Saint Laurent introduced the high heeled wedge. Penelope Rouges www.espadrilles.eu €65

Glass Act

n much the same way that it has transformed skyscrapers ashore, the advance of technology in the use of glass has, over the years, radically changed the way superyachts now look.

CLEAR VIEWS Leading experts talk about glass innovation and design for the yachting industry

RALF SCHEURER, SEDAK GMBH & CO. KG Besides the usage of oversize glazings being capable of carrying high structural loads, glass structures like stairs will find their way to the superyacht sector. Implementing such oversize glass panes and all glass structures is now technically possible offering undisturbed ocean views.

STEFAN ROELANDS, RITEC MARINE SERVICES The industry is making a concerted effort to innovate through using greener and more sustainable products. For example, the pioneering new ClearShield Eco-System™ used on superyachts renovates, protects and maintains glass while resisting sea spray staining and discolouration.

ALASTAIR CLAYTON, SEAGLAZE MARINE As improvements in aesthetics through design and innovation become as important as advancements in technology and functionality, glazing may no longer just be a medium to see through. The strength and durability of the interlayers provides interesting structural opportunities.

Bram Jongepier at Feadship says, “Now we are working with various designers and potential clients on something truly spectacular that will reap the rewards of all this research.” Clearly the breaking news here is “There is much more glass on the horizon.”

When the need for speed is paramount, Captains should take a look at the Sarissa RIB range. The design is the accumulation of years of design and development from expert racer Adam Younger alongside Takis Samartzis who was responsible for the upper deck design. Powerboat racer Arran Scott has the distribution rights for Sarissa Ribs for the UK & France, and knows a thing or two about how high speed RIBS should be handled. He recently unveiled the new Sarissa 737 RIB and felt sure the model would become the most popular RIB in the range. He said, “It is streaks ahead in terms of performance, equipment, comfort and build quality and I am looking forward to showing everyone what it can do.â€?

Translate that into operating costs, using an economic cruising speed of 38kn from a Mercury 150hp outboard tested and you get an estimated fuel consumption of just 0.9L per mile. The new tender comes with a high level of standard equipment including electric windlass, twin fuel tanks, twin battery 12v electrical system, stainless steel tow rings, plus a trailer, all for around ÂŁ39,000.

sound is just 70db a reading comparable to that of a BMW or Mercedes car at speed on a motorway. With the market place growing the question most asked is “what of the future?” Tom Sanderson, Sales Director JBT Marine the European Distributor for Ballistic RIBs says “The tender market and in fact the boating market as a whole has µbb 8 É ² YÉ Yb u² ɽ}  8² ½Ë n * u Y q8½8F b 8½µ 8µ 8 o²µ½ O} Ob n O²8n½¢ ² 8 ½}bµb ²b8µ µ ½}8½ 8 bµ them popular as tenders.

They also look fantastic, however can lack the qualities required for a successful tender which although should look stunning is ultimately a working craft that needs to perform in all weather conditions and get the crew to where they need to be. With Ballistic we started with an excellent performing, well built, go through anything hull and then added the luxury. You just can’t do it the other way round and get the same result.” Having tenders on board is one thing but their launch and ²bO Èb²Ë O8 8½ ½ bµ Fb Y oO ½¢ +8 Y ½ Fb µ b²V §Â O b²V safer and cheaper than any other tender handling system available, the Norwegian built MissionEase system from

Vestdavit Vestdavit’s MissionEase system makes boat-handling safer and simpler for tender garages and superyachts. It is simple, quick, safe and inexpensive, and can stow, launch and retrieve up to seven different RIBS, daughter boats and USVs in high seas from within a protected hangar. MissionEase links seamlessly with dual or single-point davits to deploy or recover boats from either side of the vessel. It can also handle standard TEU containers for stores and equipment when in port. Vestdavit designs, supplies and supports tailor-made solutions for launching and recovering boats. Their range of boat handling systems and davits are the first choice of navies, coastguards, and offshore operators who need to operate small boats safely from larger vessels.

Production boats have been the ore business of Windy since 1966.In 2009 Windy were commissioned to develop and build the Windy Dubois SR52 Blackbird. This process led to a totally new market for high end, custom boats for the superyacht market. Following this, they started the semi-custom production of this model and quickly saw that the overall qualities of build, construction and attention to detail attracted global recognition. Through the world famous yacht designers, DUBOIS Naval Architects and later through Espen Oeino, Windy hit the map of superyacht tenders, custom chase boats and limo tenders. For more details Tel:+ 46 490 258 850 or visit www.windyboats.com Vestdavit can stow, launch and retrieve up to seven different RIBS in high seas from within a protected hangar or garage on board a superyacht. Bringing together experience the company has with naval and seismic ships to make the best use of a superyacht garage, MissionEase works on a system of hydraulic cradles which moves boats safely from stowage positions to maintenance, preparation or launch areas of the garage. It is designed as a multiple-boat handling system which will make boat handling safer and simpler on expedition yachts and links seamlessly with dual or single-point davits to deploy or recover boats in high seas from either side of the vessel. Atle Kalve, Development Director, Vestdavit, says, “The ability to deploy and recover boats safely is part of the main armament of today’s warships, and critical to seismic work and for expedition cruise ships and yachts. A garage midships allows the boats to be stored, maintained, prepared and launched from a safe environment with a dry, high freeboard. Existing systems generally rely on overhead gantries to move the boats within the garage. When a yacht is moving that can be dangerous, and slinging and unslinging takes time. MissionEase allows the boats to be moved safely and quickly within the bay on the cradles, even in high seas or with a list on the vessel. The boats are fed directly to the davits for launch, or feed directly back into the stow when recovered.”

Floating the river began in the 1920s with pioneers who wanted to see what lay beyond the point where the trails ended, and today the number of rafters and kayakers allowed on the river is restricted in order to preserve the wilderness.

That said, if you take a hike from the campsite up the canyon sides, there’s every chance of seeing a big horn sheep or deer, less so the more exotic local species such as bears, moose, cougars and wolves, which may be just as well for all concerned.

Getting there The easiest way to reach the Middle Fork of the Salmon is from Boise, the capital of Idaho.

Nor is it hard to understand why the native Sheepeater Indians, whose pictographs you may stumble across, revered and worshipped such an uncompromising and elemental landscape. Named after the region’s bighorn sheep, which constituted a major part of their diet, the Sheepeaters had this gloriously unspoiled region to themselves until trappers, miners and settlers moved into

These are a smaller version of the AC72 catamaran used during the 2013 Louis Vuitton Cup and the 34th America’s Cup.The AC45fs used during the series will also help progress the development of the new AC62s, the foiling catamarans to be used for the 2017 Louis Vuitton Cup selection series and the 2017 America’s Cup. The new style, fast moving, America’s Cup race format designed to provide spectators with more excitement in an easy to understand style, means that the circuit is likely to attract thousands of visitors. The chance to be present at one of the planned events therefore is highly desirable. The opening event in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy runs from 4-7 June with racing taking place on the Gulf surrounding the island’s capital on 6-7 June. Although teams will arrive in town from 31 May, the Cagliari World Series programme begins with an opening ceremony on Thursday 4 June and one day of mandatory training on Friday 5 June. There will be two races a day on the Saturday and Sunday, and the prize giving ceremony will take place on the last day. Next stop is Portsmouth, Great Britain, from 23-26 July. Here up to 500,000 visitors are expected to attend the four day sporting and entertainment spectacle to watch the world’s best sailors battling it out on The Solent. There will be a practice race on Friday 24 July, then two races per day on the Saturday and Sunday, in total six races with four to count for points. The racing on ‘Super Sunday’ will count for more points.

FOOD & DRINK The latest food & drink trends for you to try over the spring months

ASPARAGUS Long and elegant, with an intense, earthy flavour, asparagus is considered a delicacy of the vegetable world and has been admired for thousands of years. In 3000BC it was depicted in Egyptian friezes and made an appearance in Roman recipes, including a casserole of eggs, wine and herbs.

FIRM AND PERKY Buy asparagus with firm and perky spears and tight green tips. Anything woody or a puckered bendy stalk is past its prime. Asparagus deteriorates faster than most veggies, so eat as soon as possible.

WHERE TO DRINK HOTEL FRANCESCHI, FORTE DEI MARMI, TUSCANY

For a digestif that will delight try the hotel’s signature Aperol spritz 4 ice cubes Prosecco

Aperol 1 orange slice

Place ice cubes in a rock glass. Pour 7 parts Prosecco to 3 parts Aperol and mix lightly. Garnish with orange slice then serve.

The origins of Foie Gras go back 4,500 years to Ancient Egypt, from where it spread to Greece (500 B.C.E.), then to the Romans, ancestors of the modern French

BUONO BEERS If you’re heading to Italy in the coming season try one of ONBOARD’s favourite bottled beers

BIN YOUR WOODY ENDS Asparagus is grown in sandy soil, so wash well to remove any grit before cooking. For larger stalks, bend the spears until they snap and throw the woody end away. If the end still feels tough, peel away the outer layers, leaving the top untouched.

STEAM YOUR TIPS Cooking times vary. For soft but firm stalks, steam bunches of asparagus upright in a pan for 3-5 minutes, with water covering the bottom half of the stalks. This will cook the thickest part of the stem and steam the delicate tips.

AND THERE’S MORE… In 1731, John Arbuthnot, a royal physician, wrote that asparagus “affects the urine with a foetid smell”. The scent, which not everyone can smell, is due to sulphur containing amino acids that break down during digestion.

Bold, full-bodied beer. Notes of liquorice, which end in a harmony of sweet and complex tastes reminiscent of hazelnuts.

Aromatic hops and the ‘cherie’ spring barley, together with the Giovanni Peroni recipe are the secrets of an excellent beer.

Brewed in Sardinia, this is a crisp and refreshing beer with a pleasantly bitter note and a light pleasant scent of hops.

FOOD & DRINK

UNDER THE GRILL TRACY-JANE INGLE, SOUS CHEF, MY KIBO

South African born TracyJane Ingle graduated from college with diplomas in Hospitality Management, Cordon Bleu Cookery and Wine Appreciation and worked in several restaurants in her native South Africa before joining the superyacht industry in 2009 What is your Favourite dish to cook? I do not have a favourite dish as such, but I love playing around with seasonal produce and have fun with food. The dish I had most fun with cooking was Edible Herb Garden. Herb butter with root veggies, olive soil and beer chips. What is your favourite restaurant? Tickets in Barcelona, it is a new eatery by the trendy and talented Chef Ferran Adrià. This time it’s a tapas bar but not a traditional one. Here tapas are innovative and creative like many avant garde culinary ideas Adrià has brought to the table. If you weren't a chef what would you be doing? Interior Decorating. I think I might enjoy that as much as cooking.

On Trend... CAULIFLOWER RICE Crammed with more nutrients than you could shake a stick at, and with just 25 calories per 100g (compared with about 140 calories per 100g cooked white rice), this new grain free grain is cropping up as a highly popular rice alternative. No longer is the vegetable restricted to the smelly and soggy cheese bakes of the 1980s. It has undergone a health enhancing transformation, the result of which should satisfy even the most avid of rice addicts.

INGREDIENTS 1 cauliflower, leaves removed Sea salt Black pepper A splash of double cream

METHOD In a deep frying pan or sauté pan, heat a little oil over a medium heat. Add the grated cauliflower with generous pinches of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until the cauliflower is cooked through and has lost its raw taste. Stir through a splash of cream, and serve.

TRY IT... YOU MIGHT LIKE IT Popcorn

Pesto

What is your Favourite kitchen gadget? Microplane Grater just be careful of your fingers! What is your Favourite comfort food? My mother’s “Tamatie Bredie”. It is a South African Beef and Tomato Stew. What are your Top three ingredients to cook with? Ginger, Garlic and Basil. Where do you think is the Best city in the world for food? Barcelona, Spain. It’s a great city with lots of amazing restaurants. I Love tapas, because eating food that way, you get to taste so many different things!

A zesty, healthy snack

What is the one ingredient everyone needs in their fridge? Lemons, even though some people say you should never refrigerate them. What was the last dish you cooked for yourself to eat because you really wanted to eat it? Last dish I cooked for myself was a Grilled skirt steak salad with spicy green beans and citrus vinaigrette. What is your most memorable food moment? Eating fresh seafood from a traditional Fijian Lovo on a remote island in Fiji. What a great unforgettable experience!

The price of a Heligan pineapple. It measures just six inches from top to toe; measly by pineapple standards. The tiny ananas comusus was cultivated in the pineapple pit at the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall. But remember the price does include labour, equipment and urine soaked hay.

FULL OF BEANS

From bean to cup, Marco Arrigo of The Drink Factory ƪ ơ

T

here are around 1700 different variables every time you make an espresso. These variables come from when and where the bean is grown to how it is transported, processed and roasted. All of these ½} uµ 8nnbO½ ½}b q 8È Â² 8 Y ½} µ µ Fbn ²b Éb bÈb µb the product.

Coffee only grows on the equator between the two tropics, we call this The Coffee Belt. Most of the world’s coffee is grown organically as it is grown in third world countries where pesticides are expensive and caffeine is a natural insecticide. Arabica coffee grows at 800m above sea level and is a much more delicate bean. Robusta is a very cheap coffee that grows anywhere between those lines. Robusta has three times more caffeine than Arrabica but half the oil. n Ë Â bÈb² 8½ 8 O nnbb F²8 O}V Ë Â É µbb o ²µ½ ½}b q Éb² É} O} YbÈb µ ½ 8 u²bb Fb8 ½}8½ É ½Â² red through to yellow until it falls off. The four stages of life can happen at the same time on the plant so selection is very important after picking. The beans are red once they are perfectly ripe so handpickers aim to select these. Another approach to know if the beans are perfectly ripe is to measure the caffeine levels as when the beds turn red the level of caffeine in them drops to around 1% (the yellow and green beans can be as high as 20%). So the caffeine content is an indicator of quality but unfortunately is not stated by law on the o µ}bY ² YÂO½¢ Once the beans have been picked, they have to be processed to remove the outer skin and mucilage. This happens in different ways depending on where they are

grown. Wet processing is a bit more selective, this happens in countries that have a good water supply, like south America. Simply this means after picking the beans, they are placed in long water troughs. The perfectly ripe Fb8 µ 8²b b½²8 Ë F Ë8 ½V É} µ½ ½}b Èb²² b q 8½ and the immature sink and only the ripe beans make it to the end of the trough, while twigs leaves and stones are lost along the way.

Coffee was banned in Germany. Frederick the Great was concerned people were spending too much on the beverage

Dry processing is when the beans are spread evenly on the ground, where they are baked. The husk dries and comes off as the beans are skilfully raked and turned to stop mould and mildew forming. The best example for this is green pepper, the wet process produces white pepper and dry process makes black. They have obviously different organoleptic qualities. We get better crema from wet processed beans because a bit of the coffee’s natural oil gets washed away during processing and the oil is an inhibitor of the CO2 layer. The better the crema, the more volatile aromas are retained. There are around 300 delicate volatile aromas in wine but up to 900 in coffee. Crema has nothing to do with quality, it just means the chemical reaction has been successful.

Purchasing the beans is another factor, most companies buy directly from the The Green Coffee Market at a price set in the New York stock exchange. The green market is made up of brokers and middlemen who buy from the farmers and sell to various coffee companies. Illy for example pay the farmer directly over 25% more than Fairtrade. That’s why some coffees are not fairtrade if they value sustainability equally, you can’t do both.

Trieste is the biggest port in Europe. More rigorous buyers may source the beans directly from the farm and they will sample the beans prior to buying. Once the beans have been chosen, you must be careful they are not ruined in transit. Once the coffee has made it to the roaster, it is then down to them to decide on roasting times and temperature. When blending coffee, the beans should be blended green and then roasted so they are all the same age and colour. Poor roasters roast beans individually and then blend those to order, so this means the result can be uneven in colour and age and so unbalanced and often rancid notes that become dominant.

Some training is mandatory and is often treated as a necessary evil something that has to be endured survived and tolerated to get on in the world we all work in.

Training week provide advice on relevant sail training for a future career. Alison Rentoul has created a name for herself in superyacht circles as the Crew Coach. Punchy, eye catching marketing e mails are well targeted to crew she has listed on her database. As a career coach, she is delighted to see the trend towards up-skilling in yachting. She says, “Elective courses on subjects like crisis management, IT or wine knowledge all are excellent steps to progress up the yachting ladder and make the most of your potential.” To Captains and Senior Crew members she says, “You know that running a yacht is much like running a company. Operating the boat is only a very small part of the job, while crew management and administrative duties take up the majority of your time.” Leaders need to be able to eradicate crew politics as quickly as µµ F bV Fbn ²b ½}bË O8 ²bqbO½ F8Y Ë ½}b µb ÈbµV Y8 8ub their position and impact job security. Rentoul says, “Because you are busy, personnel issues or personality clashes are also an added frustration that you simply don’t need. Gaining the ability to make people willingly do what you want them to do (exactly how and when you want them to do it), makes everyone’s life F 8²Y b8µ b² 8 Y O²b8µbµ bnoO b OË 8 ²  Y¢¬ There is a science to running a team well, and it is one that can be learnt. This is leadership coaching. Smart senior crew are now realising something the sporting world has long understood: when it comes to managing people, coaching takes your existing potential and ability and converts it into peak performance. In the corporate world, Richard Branson surrounds himself with mentors and coaches, while Bill Gates has famously said ‘everybody needs a coach.’ Currently, HELM (Human Element, Leadership and Management Training), is the only compulsory leadership training module in Ë8O}½ uV 8 Y ½ µ Ë ²b§Â ²bY n ² YbO 8 Y b u bb² u noOb²µ¢ But the Crew Coach asks, “Is HELM enough to create a great leader?” She believes it is not and advocates, “HELM is just a great foundation and starting point.” She says, “It focuses on ‘what’ you need to know in order to be a good leader. Yet that’s É}b²b ½ µ½ µ¢ ½ Y bµ ¯½ ²b8 Ë u ½}² Âu} µ bO oO µ F8µbY techniques so that you learn ‘how’ to be a good leader, and actively put what you’ve learnt into practice. That’s where you need advanced leadership training.” With this in mind the Crew Coach has put together a unique combination of online leadership training developed exclusively for the superyacht industry. Through online videos, workbooks and live tutorials, you will learn how to motivate, how to deal É ½} Y noO ½ b²µ 8 ½ bµV } É ½ } ²b Éb V µb½ ½b8 u 8 µ 8 Y build great crews, as well as how to manage your own time and deal with stress.

David Store Navigational Management DSNM, a leading Chart Management and Navigational Consultancy have joined forces with Paul Hailwood to offer a new service in response to the growing number of observations and deficiencies in the maintenance of nautical charts and publications. The combination of expertise, results in them being in a position to launch a first class product. With DSNM’s reputation of providing a ‘second to none’ service and Paul Hailwood’s status as a key industry leader, this is an exciting new partnership. The new Nautical Charts and Publications Safety Audit is designed to improve the safety, efficiency and compliance of the procedures for maintaining and updating nautical charts and publications, including digital versions.

Joey Meen suggests that much of elective training genres should also be recognised when a crew member takes that leap from ship to shore. She says, “In fact with the yachting sector continuing to grow so much over the years, we have carved out our own land based career paths and therefore should also be looking ahead at creating training that crosses over.” Crew Coach Alison Rentoul wraps up the case for elective training well saying, “Next time you are considering an elective course to boost your yachting career, choose the one that teaches you how to lead. For, if you don’t know how to lead, no-one will truly follow.”

CONTACTS Many believe that it is up to the industry itself to identify and self regulate training needs. Most crew in the deck and engineering departments have to allow for a training budget (usually a personal expense) for the perpetual courses required ½ bb  Y8½bY É ½} ²bu 8½ ²Ë §Â8 oO8½ µV } ÉbÈb²V ½¯µ ½}b ½²8 u bbYµ µÂO} 8µ ½b² ²V 8 8ub b ½V o 8 O 8 V ,h ½ name but a very few, that will round off the needed skill sets that are an essential part of the on board yachting dream we sell.

APOSTOLOS ANDREAS MONASTERY The monastery is situated just south of Cape Apostolos Andreas, the northeastern most point of the island of Cyprus, in Rizokarpaso on the Karpaz Peninsula. The monastery is dedicated to Saint Andrew and is an important site for the Cypriot Orthodox Church. It was once known as ‘the Lourdes of Cyprus’, served not by an organized community of monks but by a changing group of volunteer priests and laymen. Both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities consider the monastery a holy place.

Speak to David, Ron, Graeme, Chris, Sam or Angus. They are there to help. Charges are very competitive with no annual tonnage dues. They also register vessels at a speed which knocks the socks off most other registries. The only way to further quicken the process would be to coat the forms in butter. Isn’t there a problem obtaining a Balearic Charter Licence for an Isle of Man Yacht? Not anymore.

They have no external debt and government reserves total over a billion pounds. Their record speaks for itself.

What sets them apart from the bigger yacht registries? Why should anyone chose the Isle of Man? Quality, expertise, service….Now to illustrate something else. Imagine a yacht owner buys an apartment in London. His wife spends over a million just on the design of the kitchen because she wants it to be different from the neighbours’ kitchens. Sure, she wants top quality, functionality and every possible convenience, but most of all she hates the idea of copying others, of running with the herd. She and her husband take the same attitude towards everything about their yacht. They choose the Isle of Man Flag. Where are the offices located? They are based in Douglas with their surveyors travelling globally. They also employ a growing team of internationally based, non-exclusive surveyors. They can reach you anywhere, anytime.

BODY The latest facts, fads and tips to help keep your body in shape this spring

BEAUTY MYTHS A “base tan” will protect you from getting a sunburn

According to recent studies a tan does not provide enough protection against the sun. Actually, a tan is really like a big scab. When skin cells are damaged due to exposure to UV rays, the response is to produce more pigment.

GIVE YOUR TRAINERS A WORKOUT Sometimes jumping on a treadmill ǯ Ǥ Ƥ little less ordinary SKI-RAM YOGA The class takes place at a finger numbing 2°C and yogis are encouraged to wear snowsuits, scarves and gloves while they hold poses such as ‘the downward slope’. RESULTS Exercising in chilly conditions has been proven to strengthen your heart, as the muscle has to work harder to pump blood around the body.

CARDIO TENNIS A series of tennis based drills and games, played on a traditional court and set to up tempo music. RESULTS As well as the usual hand to eye coordination benefits, participants can expect to burn over 600 calories an hour.

THE GRID This fitness experiment aims to help gym goers get back to the basis of natural movement. Classes involve 30 minute high intensity workouts across an obstacle course set on a grid like floor. RESULTS Each class has its own benefits, from improving strength, power and muscle tone to reducing body fat.

WHAT IS... Groovecycle?

PUNK ROPE These extreme jump rope classes combine team relay activities with skipping exercises. Classes are often themed so costumes are encouraged.

Described as a dance class on a bike, groovecycle requires a certain level of hand, eye and leg coordination and an ability to work to a rhythm while keeping posture and balance, this indoor cycle session aims to work your entire body and flood you with feel good endorphins.

RESULTS A fun and uplifting way to burn over 500 calories without even realising it.

What are the main causes of acne?

Sure, your skin might break out during a busy charter season, but what is the real cause? Contrary to popular belief, acne is not just a teenage nightmare, but a common problem among men of all ages. It’s therefore important to arm yourself with all the facts. Below are answers to some of the most popular questions concerning acne. What is acne? According to dermatologists, acne is a hormonal disorder of the skin, in which a high level of androgens stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce more oil than necessary, resulting in an q8 8½ n ½}b µ u 8 YV ² 8 b¢,}b²b are two primary types of pimples: open and closed O bY bµV ² F 8O }b8Yµ 8 Y É} ½b}b8Yµ¢ ,}b former are caused by a blockage within the hair O8 8 V É} O} ² YÂObµ 8 µ Y obY FÂ YÂ V É} b the latter occur within the sebaceous follicle, producing a white tip.

HORMONES The body produces hormones called androgens in adolescence when the sebaceous glands are over stimulated by androgens to cause blemishes. This can sometimes persist well into adulthood.

DAIRY Milk contains many biological products apart from protein and nutrients. It can cause an increase in sebum production, an oily substance that can clog pores. Maybe opt for almond milk, instead.

CARBOHYDRATES The researchers believe increased insulin can cause inflammation in the skin, leading to breakouts. Lay low on the sugar and switch to whole grains to be safe.

NOT ENOUGH OMEGA 3 & 6 Omega 3 & 6 will help to reduce inflammation and breakouts. Plus, we all know it helps keep our heads straight during the busy charter season.

STRESS Researchers believe that stress hormones can worsen acne. Certain steroid hormones, are released during stress, and are known to cause breakouts by activating the oil gland and clogging your pores.

TOO MUCH SUN Over several years, sun exposure may increase your skin’s oil production, which can clog your pores. Choose a high factor sunscreen that won’t clog your pores. Keep calm and slap it on.

Can the soap/moisturizer I use affect my acne? Yes. ,} µb É} 8²b ² b ½ F²b8 ½µ µ}  Y É8µ} ½}b ² face twice a day with a gentle cleanser that has been formulated for oily or acneprone skin. Remember that overwashing or scrubbing too hard can dry out and irritate the skin, making the acne worse. You should also opt for a dermatologist approved, oil free moisturizer, as it will not clog your pores. Can shaving cause pimples? While shaving itself cannot cause acne, not using the proper blade or shaving cream can cause your skin to become irritated or nicked. So be sure to use a sharp blade and high quality shaving cream or gel. Does stress cause acne? Day to day stress that occurs in the workplace and in your personal life is not known to cause acne; profound tension, however, just may. Excessive stress may cause your body to produce an excess of hormones, which can cause you to break out. Stop before you pop? ,}b ²b8 ½Ë µ ½ É 8 b ½}b worse. Squeezing blackheads is a bad idea because ½ É Ë O8µb ½}b ½ FbO b q8 bY¢ ( u whiteheads will only push the germs farther into the skin, resulting in soreness, redness and perhaps even infection.

Pimples can occur anywhere on the body, except on the palm of the hand and sole of the foot, as these are the only places on the body where the skin pores have no hair canals. However, they generally appear on the face, chest, back, neck, arms, and buttocks. Consequently, you can use the same anti acne cream on your body that you do on your face. 130 | SPRING 2015 | ONBOARD

WHAT ARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS TO MAXIMISE ONBOARD BANDWIDTH?

WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES WHEN DESIGNING A LIFEJACKET?

HOW IMPORTANT ARE ELECTRONICS IN THE MARINE SAFETY SECTOR?

HOW DO YOU PROTECT AND PROLONG THE LIFE OF TEAK DECKS?

Yacht owners and their ETOs are constantly looking for ways to maximise their onboard internet bandwidth. The CELLweaver can combine up to four 4G/3G connections into a single data stream with speeds of up to 400 Mbit/s and thus ensures the owner has a great internet connection when on board within up to 10nm off the coastline. The compact, rackmounted unit (48,30 x 30 x 8,9 cm) requires 220V and has 4 SIM slots. The CELLweaver enables bandwidth demanding services like movie streaming, skype, and internet TV on board, and for multiple users simultaneously. Using a capable source selector or o²bÉ8 V ½} µ O²bY F Ë n8µ½ internet connectivity can then be managed by the ETO and made available as required.

The challenge is to ensure it performs when you need it to but also that people want to wear it. Designing a lifejacket using 3D technology, such as Crewsaver’s advanced Fusion 3D, allows the product to mould to the shape of your body and sit off the neck giving the user total freedom of movement, creating a lifejacket so comfortable you forget you’re wearing it. Fusion 3D technology is widely used in our lifejackets for ocean racing, like the ErgoFit Extreme. Our challenge was to extend access to this same technology to all recreational boaters, including juniors. We’ve achieved this; Crewsaver’s newest lifejackets boast more key safety features for in water performance, in a range of supremely wearable lifejackets.

ÐYÈ8 Obµ ½}b ob Y n marine electronics have become a vital component of on board safety in a number of ways. GPS for instance gives mariners the ability to know exactly where they are at any time; a fantastic safety feature that is often taken for granted, however modern electronics now offer a range of new Fb bo½µ¢ *8Y8²V Ð +V DSC communications, satellite communication and features such as autopilots help in reducing fatigue and in the case of an emergency, new software developments mean the emergency services can be called into action at the push of a button. Today, these facilities are available to all. Even on the smallest of vessels there is no excuse to scrimp on safety.

Did you know the majority of wear that a teak deck sustains is from the cleaning process alone! Over cleaning will wear the deck out, removing softer wood from the grain so water stays in the wood for longer helping green algae and mould growth. If caulking between the planking is proud by more than 1.5mm then trim it back to the level of the teak surface to stop standing water being trapped. Apply a fungicide to the teak twice a year, such as Boracol for professional cleaning or a weaker concentrate available from chandleries. Just rinse the deck, no scrubbing needed, which would wear the deck out. For decks that have been scrubbed too hard or pressure washed, sand back to a level surface to allow water to drain away.

ne of the peculiarities of working in the yachting industry is that jobs can be short lived, and I’m not just talking about seasonal jobs for deckhands and stewardesses. Many will have experienced a yacht sale, some will have left a good job to study and climb the career ladder, some will have been dismissed, sometimes with little explanation, others will have left an unbearable job with no leadership or team spirit‌ 3}8½bĂˆb² ½}b ²b8¾‘Â?Âľ ˑ oÂ?Y ˑ²¾b‡n ‡‘‘†€Â?u n‘² ɑ²Â†V ½}b initial feeling of elation (for those who experience it) from this new found freedom is bound to evaporate if you do not secure a new job in fairly short order.

So, how do you stay sane looking for work when you have to repeat over and over that “no, I have not found a job yetâ€? or when you feel your partner’s patience is surreptitiously wearing thin or even perhaps when recruiters don’t revert back to you? €²¾½ ‘n 8‡‡V ‡‘‘† 8½ ½}b n8O½¾U ,}b²b €¾ ‘Â?‡Ë ‘Â?b O8Â?½8€Â? 8Â?Y 5,10,25,30 crew or more on a yacht, so obviously the demand is less at the top which is why it will take you longer to secure a job.

It’s important to get your whole network going. Most of the time, captain’s jobs come from word of mouth, personal contact, past contacts, past employers, people you have worked with.

T

he new pension freedom from April 2015 is welcome news for anyone with UK pension funds, wherever they live. However, you do need to consider the tax implications in your country of residence. If you spend time in more than one country, and/or at sea, you need to understand the rules which determine where you pay tax. 5 ² b µ µ8È uµ 8²b bµµb ½ 8 n ² ² È Y u o 8 O 8 µbO² ½Ë through retirement. Deciding what to do with your funds could Fb b n ½}b µ½ ²½8 ½ o 8 O 8 YbO µ µ Ë Â 8 b¢ It is vital you have all the facts about your new options, and carefully consider the implications of each option. This includes taxation in the UK and the country where you pay tax; leaving the balance to your heirs; what control you have over investment options; what income will be generated, and ensuring you do not run out of funds in your later years. You can only determine which option is right for you once you have weighed them all up. The local tax regime in some countries, for example France, can provide attractive opportunities under the new UK pension regime. Specialist, professional advice is essential. It is the only way to ensure you have all the information and understand how each option affects you.
