Antibes yachties rally for port By Lucy Chabot Reed A group that is driving to make sure the voices of the yachting industry are heard as the city of Antibes considers expanding its port held its first open public meeting in September, attracting hundreds from the industry and surrounding neighborhoods. ASAP, the Association for the Support and development of Antibes Port, presented several experts to speak in favor of the development of the port and urged local officials to not only consider the yachting industry when making final decisions about the expansion, but also to keep both residents and businesses informed of its progress. Below is a report from the group about its activities, translated from the French and edited for space.
Dayworkers are an essential part of the yachting industry. Whether called at the last minute to handle unexpected jobs or planned months in advance to help with scheduled projects, men and women who work on a temporary basis can be a real godsend to yacht captains. Or they can be, in the words of one captain, “a necessary evil.” Despite their objections, yacht captains at our monthly captains From the Bridge lunch will hire temporary crew Lucy Chabot Reed to help them out of all kinds of situations, but they also use the practice to test potential crew before making a commitment. “I would rather have fewer people onboard and have dayworkers because everywhere you go, we can find great people,” one captain said. “And if they’re not great, you let them go. If they are great, you can keep them for two months.” As always, individual comments are not attributed to any one person in particular so as to encourage frank and open discussion. The attending captains are identified in a photograph on page A17.

Antibes’ place in yachting
For the past 10 years, the fleet of superyachts has increased in size, overtaking the number of berths available in marinas. A general observation shows that there isn’t enough space while in contrast, some slips are empty. This situation has generated an aggressive competition in marinas across the region to attract megayachts. And although they may prefer Antibes or Palma as a base in the winter, many yachts take refuge toward other destinations to minimize costs. Marinas in Spain, Italy, Croatia, Tunisia or even Cyprus take advantage of the saturation on the Cote d’Azur to add new and bigger berths. • Porto Adriano in the South West of the Palma

Scott and Amy Angelo (seen here with their children) have traveled the world on yachts as engineer and stew. They discovered a mutual passion for coffee and today roast it in their cafe and roasting shop, Oceana Coffee PHOTO/CHRISTINE ARRETTEIG in Tequesta, Fla.
Engineer and stew inspired to roast up a new brew for crew By Dorie Cox Eng. Scott Angelo, 44, fixes things. He used to repair Australian Navy ships and more recently refits megayachts. But one of his most significant jobs was on a popcorn popper. That refit transformed a WestBend Poppery II into a coffee roaster. And that paved the way for him and his wife, former yacht stew Amy, to create Oceana Coffee, a roasting facility and coffee cafe in Tequesta, Fla. By day, Scott is project manager at Rybovich in West Palm Beach, Fla., and by night he’s a coffee roaster. Amy, 34, runs the cafe and cares for their two young children. Their relationship began brewing in 2001 when Scott’s yacht was in Palm Beach and Amy was working as a teacher in town. As a boy in Australia, Scott honed his engineering skills because his mechanic father said, “If you want to ride dirt bikes you have to know how to fix them.” He progressed to propulsion systems in the Navy from 1985-94, then worked as an engineering refit specialist in a shipyard. “I decided my life wasn’t adventurous enough,” he said. “I had read about yachting and had a few friends in. I packed one bag and bought
a ticket to Ft. Lauderdale. MCA had just come into play and I converted my Navy tickets into licenses.” He went to a crew agency, said “I’m here to be an engineer,” and within a few weeks had his first yacht job. Amy grew up in Jupiter, Fla., sailing with her family every weekend. Later she became a kindergarten and art history teacher. “I had friends that owned yachts, I just never considered you could get paid for working on them,” she said. “As a teacher, I did the math and realized I could never save that kind of money.” She decided to give yachts a try and was solo stew on the 104-foot M/Y Miss Michelle. “That was big for a girl that had never waited a table,” she said. Next she was stew/deck/cook on a sailboat, and then 2nd stew on M/Y Inspiration, where they worked together. As their relationship grew, the couple worked together on other yachts, including M/Y Sandra Lynn and M/Y Pangaea. Then they moved to Australia where they started Oceana Logistics in 2006, a shore-based provisioning company. Coffee was just one of the products

Popcorn popper percolates couple’s dream for the perfect cup COFFEE, from page A3 they provided for yachts. Using an Australian roaster, they sold the coffee under the Oceana label. “We came back to the U.S. for a job with Trinity yachts as the industry was tanking,” Amy said. “So, we came to Jupiter to stay with my family. We still had Oceana Logistics, did some small refit jobs and still supplied some of our large yachts.” Scott worked freelance as an engineer and joined Rybovich about two years ago.
They never were happy with the coffee they drank in the U.S. “We couldn’t find a local roaster, and the coffee was not what we were used to,” Amy said. Problem-solver Scott researched online and learned how to roast coffee beans in an air popcorn popper. “I roasted a third of a cup and realized I wanted to control the speed and the heat.” That’s when his engineer-brain plotted a way to perfect the popper; he took it apart and added a fan speed switch used for a ceiling fan and an
electrical switch. “It looks a bit Frankenstein-ish, but it’s right here sitting on the shelf,” he said from the coffee shop. From popcorn popper, he progressed to a grill for roasting larger quantities. “It had a rotisserie set up on a threeburner Weber. I made an electric motor for the rotisserie and cooked the beans over the gas in a 5-pound basket, a cylindrical shape, for the green beans.” His search for the perfect cup continued. “I bought a bag of roasted coffee from Sumatra, a micro lot, and that
day changed my view,” he said. “It’s the reason I roast now.” He realized beans from small farms were more flavorful and fresh. That Sumatra coffee changed things for Amy, too. She said she tasted apple in those beans and realized coffee could have subtle flavors. “That bag inspired my husband to roast,” she said. The Angelos are as serious about coffee at home as they are at the cafe. “It’s a big coffee culture in Australia, we would compete with friends at barbeques to see who could make the best coffee, and who had the best coffee things,” he said. For his 40th birthday his friends gave him an Italian Rocket single group head espresso maker. When the couple moved to Florida, he rewired the house to run a 220v outlet in from the laundry room to power it. “Scott makes me a cappuccino every morning. Regular soy milk, double espresso, no artificial flavor because each country has its own flavor in the bean,” Amy said. “I’m a mom, I will drink it cold, but I haven’t microwaved it in 10 years. It’s not good to reheat that way, the best is to use the steam wand on the espresso machine,” she said. “This will do the least harm to your delicious coffee. I know as a stew on charter, like a mother with two young children, it is hard to drink an entire cup of hot coffee in one sitting. Someone will need a special meal or a head will need to be cleaned.” Today, Oceana Coffee has grown and added another cafe in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and they plan for more locations. The Angelos have even broader goals. “We see having direct relationships with farms and communities in coffee growing regions so we can better assist the farmers, their families and their communities,” Scott said. “And continuing the coffee education into South Florida and the yachting community.” They train crew how to tamp, how hard to press, how to grind; just how to make a great cup of coffee. “I’m a barista,” Amy said. “I took courses in Australia to enhance my skills onboard for our charter clients because coffee is treated more formally in other countries.” And they currently ship coffee to large yacht clients around the world. The Angelos think coffee is important to yachts, too. Because as Amy said, “the two things chief stews have nightmares about running out of are coffee and toilet paper.” To find more on Oceana coffee, visit www.oceanacoffee.com.

FLIBS stew competition on hold; Sampson Cay closed to public Interior staff competition tabled
Yacht Next has hosted the annual Perfect Setting Tabletop Challenge at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show since 2008, but has put this year’s competition on hold. Joanne Lockhart, owner of Yacht Next, a Ft. Lauderdale-based interior design and outfitting company, said the company’s design team has instead focused on the interior design and exterior styling of M/Y Finish Line, a 120-foot Trinity. Lockhart said the yacht is the first interior done by Trinity Yachts at the yard in Mississippi. The competition has been open to about 18 teams of regular crew on yachts participating in the show. Each event has included two themes, formal and informal, to gauge the talents of interior staff. Lockhart said the idea originally came from a magazine article about a table setting show in New York. “I saw it and thought, ‘we need this for the boat show, there is nothing to showcase the capabilities of the interior staff ’,” she said. “Their work is like a secret that guests get to see. The show is great time for everyone else to see their ability and creativity. Some people aren’t aware that they don’t just clean toilets and dishes.”
The tabletop challenge is expected to resume in 2014. – Dorie Cox
Erie closes for repairs
Samspon Cay goes private
The Sampson Cay Club in the Exumas, which closed for renovations Aug. 1, will remain closed to the public. The island and all its amenities, including marina, villas, store and fuel, will be private and for use only by the owner, his family and guests. “The closing of Sampson leaves a big hole for those who made it a regular port of call and/or those who do not like to anchor out,” said Capt. Craig Jones of the 91-foot Burger M/Y Current Issue. With Sampson Cay’s closure, the smaller Compass Cay marina is now the only facility in the middle Exumas with all-around protection, according to a story in the Nassau Guardian newspaper. Staniel Cay Yacht Club offers 18 slips but its docks can become uncomfortable in strong westerly and northerly winds, the newspaper reported. Plans for Leaf Cay, a development project just west of Staniel Cay and led by Capt. Peter Vazquez of M/Y Island Time, include more than 50 protected slips. – Lucy Chabot Reed
Green Turtle deepens
Dredging work at the Green Turtle Club in the Abacos began in late August. When complete, the channel entrance into White Sound will be 10 feet at low water. The controlling depth across the harbor is now 7 feet at low water. Plans are under way to deepen the marina with plan to add a few finger piers. The project is being paid for by the Green Turtle Club and the Bluff House Resort & Marina. Green Turtle Club will re-open from this seasonal maintenance closure on Oct. 25 in time its annual Halloween Party. In related news, with a deepened channel on the horizon, Green Turtle has been selected to host the second leg of the Bahamas Billfish Championship, to be called the Green Turtle Cay Championship, from May 21-24, 2014. Green Turtle is a Guy Harvey Outpost Resort property. For more information, visit www. guyharveyoutpost.com.
A large scour hole was detected beneath a supporting pier for the movable dam at Lock E-13 of the Erie Canal on Sept. 17, resulting in the closure of locks 12, 13 and 14 for two to three weeks. Capt. Worth Brown, who transits the canal each year between bases in Florida and Michigan, was heading south when he received the notice to mariners from the New York State Canal Corp.

Port expansion
All these recent developments offer more than a mooring space to attract superyacht clientele. They develop shops, spas, hotels, restaurants, private properties and other services requested by yacht owners. Most participate in yachting activities and yacht shows presenting their project to yacht users. In comparison with these new locations, the Port of Antibes doesn’t seem up-to-date anymore. Expanding the port to 1,642 berths is a key question for the growth of the town, its companies, and its people. Port Vauban must be modernized. “It is a must and a legal requirement because in 2021, the SAEM (the company that manages the port) will give back the port to the town of Antibes,” Eric Pauget, deputy mayor and president of SAEM, told the magazine Le Point in May. The redevelopment project of Port Vauban was presented to the town in April 2011, a comprehensive program to welcome more and bigger yachts, add a promenade and shops, and address the environment. It also included an extension of the IYCA [the International Yacht Club of Antibes] quay to welcome 25 more large yachts. The project as presented in 2011 doesn’t seem to be advancing. Some development has started, including video surveillance of the port, wifi, adding a second sanitary area, making the harbour master building handicapped accessible, and repairs to the North Quay and its platforms to withstand flooding. The great ideas for the future of the port, not yet registered in any established agenda, include: * Offering to Sophia Antipolis an access to the sea by creating offices on the dedicated quays to companies related to the marine industry. * Terminate the car parking, for
instance by building an underground parking with a walkway to create a uniform area going from the ramparts to the port without obstacles in view. * Renovate the ancient ramparts and create a shopping activity around the harbour master’s office. * Rehabilitate the walkway around the port, which goes from the Old Town to the Fort Carré.
ASAP’s role
But expansion of the port has not yet been addressed. It is because of the lack of information and responses to questions regarding the project -- not to mention the failure to involve the yachting community in Antibes, despite it being the primary stakeholder affected -- that the industry has created ASAP with the goal of finding solutions in this project beneficial to the people and industry of Antibes. The ASAP supports the development of the Port of Antibes. It was created at the end of 2011 by Patrick Gilliot, president of yacht crew outfitter Dolphin Wear, who is the group’s president. It has 349 members, of which 100 are local yachting companies representing about 500 jobs. Its board includes Gilliot, Nick Hill of Hill Robinson, Ulf Sydbeck of Riviera Yacht Support, Chantal Lemeteyer of Monaco Marine, and Muriel Penoty of the Antibes Yacht Show. The group’s mission is to help communication between the port, the mayor’s office and the future users of the port, professionals as well as individual, and to bring to officials constructive criticism, expertise and data related to the development of the port. During its press conference on Sept. 6, ASAP announced the creation of seven working groups to individually address the concerns of all stakeholders, from those who live and use the port to crew, the small yacht industry and the superyacht industry. More specifically, it aims to help the mayor and port determine a final objective. Since its inception, ASAP has held meetings with officials to communicate its goals and provide data on its efforts related to the project, including an economic study of yachting in the region, and analysis of other port development in the Med. Its goal is to have a working document completed by next summer. Membership in ASAP is free and open to anyone who lives or works in Antibes or works directly or indirectly with the port.

Ft. Lauderdale shipwright dies
Shipwright John Carlson died in South Florida on Sept. 12 of cancer. He was 57. Mr. Carlson had been selfemployed as a shipwright and custom carpenter since 1981 in Ft. Lauderdale, specializing in woodworking for private homes and motoryachts. Recently, he has worked on M/Y Sovereign, and M/Y Harbour Island, a 180-foot Newcastle. “John was a damn fine shipwright,” his brother-in-law Peter Bolan wrote in a memorial. “He joined and shaped wood so that it would dance on water. He had an innate sense of the mathematics involved in creating scarf so well that it looked as if the wood had grown together in continuous sinew. “He was at home in the world of boats where there are few straight lines or square edges and arithmetics gives way to calculus to find the sweet and subtle curves that make the beautiful.” Mr. Carlson worked with partner Mary Jo Carlson at their company John Carlson Custom Carpentry.

Hawkins died in Ft. Lauderdale on Sept 2 after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. A “big-boat” captain from Newport in the late 1970s, Capt. Hawkins ran the 68-foot Trumpy M/Y Koala, “a big boat back then,” his friend and broker David Nichols said. He also ran the Burger M/Y Ariguani for a time. Capt. Hawkins and his wife at the time ran the resort at White Bay Sand Castle on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands for a few years before returning to the United States in the early 1990s. “He was a true friend,” Nichols said. “You know how it is when you don’t see each other for a while and when you meet up again, it’s like no time has passed at all. I was lucky to have him as a friend for more than 30 years.” For the past 10-15 years, Capt. Hawkins worked in the marine electronics field, most recently as sales manager at Johnson Electronics in Ft. Lauderdale. Before he died, his friends organized a benefit with the help of the Marine Industry Cares Foundation in which nearly 200 people attended, raising money for his family. Capt. Hawkins was there.

MYS to add 15 slips in 2014
As this year’s Monaco Yacht Show prepared to open in mid-September, organizers announced that it will add 15 berths to the 2014 show. This year, 103 yachts were scheduled to appear, about the same number as in recent years, a number restricted because of space in the harbor. But next year, the show will extend its berth capacities to the entrances of Port Hercules to host four 35m yachts, four 40m yachts, one 45m unit, two yachts of 50 meters, one of 68m, one of 90m and two 120m megayachts. This decision is the first result of a new partnership signed over the summer by the three players of Port Hercules – the Monaco Harbors Management Company (S.E.P.M.), the Monaco Yacht Club and the Monaco Yacht Show – in an effort to make Monaco the “capital of yachting”, statement said.
MLC guide revised
Isle of Man-based yacht service and support company Döhle Yachts has updated its guide to the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) to incorporate changes implemented in August. The new 28-page guide contains a summary of the MLC (a 110-page document) and the latest information, guidance, interpretation and actions required by those involved in the running and management of
superyachts. “Many people in the industry have tried to ignore the implications of the MLC, or have hoped that the regulations won’t apply to them,” Dohle Yachts Director Robert Tobin said. “We at Döhle Yachts, however, welcome the ratification and introduction of the MLC as a means of insuring standardization, and where required, the improvement of working conditions for those employed at sea.” At the end of the guide, Döhle included some checklists that crew use as quick reference guides, including compliance requirements for yachts, MLC inspection requirements for commercial yachts, and garbage management for yachts.

Turkey may buy Savarona
The government of Turkey looked into buying in mid-September the yacht that was assigned to the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and turn it into a museum and venue to host foreign officials, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported.

Triton Expo moves to MPT for biggest event of the year The Triton is moving its fall Expo to the grounds of Maritime Professional Training in Ft. Lauderdale this month. Join us and up to 30 vendors of goods and services that can help yacht captains and crew do their jobs better. We’re also reviving our speakers and resume clinic. No RSVPs are necessary. Just bring business cards, a resume if you want a yacht captain to critique it, and a willingness to talk to someone you don’t already know. This event typically attracts about 500 people. As we prepare for our biggest event of the year, we sat down with sisters Amy Beavers and Lisa Morley who run the family business to learn more about what they enjoy about our semiannual Triton Expo. Q. Why are you guys willing to close your school an hour early and let us take over your campus? Morley: Supporting the local community is a big part of what we do. We use local printers, buy from local florists, eat on 17th Street. Your events are about supporting crew, who support us. It’s all about giving back. And it’s a wonderful opportunity for crew to network in an environment that’s relaxed, more of a social. You do that every month with your networking events, but this is a different level of event, with all the businesses there. The crew who come to this event are really taking the industry seriously. Q. That’s sort of the trend in the industry right now, though, don’t you think? Morley: Yes, and the recession brought that about. The ones who have stayed in have more to offer. It was instilled in them that they needed to keep up with their licensing. Beavers: We advise all our students to ask, what’s the best license for me? It’s not about what size the boat is. Keep licensing at the highest level you can to keep moving up in your career. Q. The U.S. hasn’t signed the new MLC law that everyone’s been fussing about. Is that good or bad for U.S. yachties? Beavers: It’s a problem for us. So many of the good things that the MLC offers are for the third world seafarer: safety standards, fair pay, medical care. It’s hard to say how many of those things will help yacht crew. People writing these things don’t think about yachts. They come from shipping companies, the government, unions. Q. Amy, you have recently been appointed vice president of the Maritime Education Standards
Council, a group of maritime training schools. How will that help the yachting industry? Beavers: Anytime you have a group in consensus, the government will listen a lot better than if one person is complaining. Coast Guard licensing people sit in on our meetings and listen to our concerns. It’s effective in changing policy, but not laws. Q. That’s why your appointment to MERPAC is significant, right? (Beavers recently received a federal appointment to serve on the Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee, which advises the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security on matters relating to the training, qualification, licensing, certification and fitness of seamen in the merchant marine. Her three-year term began Feb. 15.) Beavers: We’re helping USCG implement regulations in ways that are fair. We can’t eliminate the fact that the IMO is requiring a certain course, but we can say, give them more time, or make it effective only with their next renewal. I think students would be surprised to know the schools fight against expanding credentials. Q. You’re right, they would. Why would schools fight against more course requirements? That’s how you make money, right? Beavers: Yes, but it costs us a lot to develop new courses, hire instructors, establish classroom space, buy equipment. There were only 4-5 of us teaching 20 years ago. It was easier then. Q. Do you miss teaching? Beavers: Yes, I do. I really miss it. Morley: But she gets to do a lot of counseling so she’s still able to stay connected with the students. Meet the whole MPT team at the Triton Expo on Wednesday, Oct. 2 from 6-9 p.m. on the grounds behind MPT, 1915 S. Andrews Ave., Ft. Lauderdale. Our speakers are Triton columnists Alene Keenan, a chief stew who recently began teaching at MPT, and Capt. Rob Gannon, who now runs a career coaching company focused on the yachting industry. The Triton Expo’s resume clinic will be staffed by both yacht captains and crew placement agents to offer a variety of tips on how to get the most from that first impression. And 30 vendors will be exhibiting their good and services, all designed to help yacht crew do their jobs better. Delicious food, beverages and music will round out the event. See you there.

TRITON NETWORKING: Ward’s Marine Electric www.the-triton.com
October 2013 A11
Kick off boat show season with Triton networking at Ward’s As the boat show season heats up this month, join us on the third Wednesday (Oct. 16) for Triton networking at Ward’s Marine Electric. This is the fifth year Ward’s has hosted Triton networking in October and the events get bigger and bigger. Join us from 6-8 p.m. as Ward’s celebrates 10 years in their new building by looking back to the first 10 years of the company, back to the 1950s. The theme is Beach Bash. Think surfboards, woody station wagons, and “Where the Boys Are”. There will be music, food, and the chance to tour the facility. Until then, get to know Ward’s from Chief Operating Hebert Officer Kristina Hebert. Q. Tell us a little about Ward’s. What do you do for yachts? The short quick answer is everything marine electrical. The longer answer is peace of mind, to both owners and captains alike. Ward’s is involved with every aspect of power generation and distribution on yachts. We have a 10,000-squarefoot parts warehouse and we sell and distribute more than 15,000 marine electrical components. Our staff of 20 ABYC-certified marine electrical technicians diagnose, repair, and upgrade electrical systems. Almost all of our services and products can be customized to any size vessel. We see safety and reliability as the highest priority for any seagoing vessel. There will never be a time when we sacrifice these values because of the scope of the job or size of boat. With us, it’s all about customer satisfaction and keeping the trust captains have in our products and services. Q. Ward’s has a few departments crew may not of be aware of. Tell us about those. For the longest time our marketing brand stated: sales, service, and engineering. These departments are the foundation of our business. Over the last few years we’ve added panel production and manufacturing to the list of services available. To keep our quality standards, we started designing, installing and customizing panels in-house. All panels are manufactured on site. Our panel production department is responsible for all the painting, engraving and wiring that goes into each project. Q. So what’s new with Ward’s since we talked to you last year? This year we are celebrating 10 years in our current facility. While we have operated out of numerous facilities over the years, we have always stayed true to the philosophy my grandfather established long ago: Safety and
customer satisfaction above all else. After successful completion of a prototype installation on USCG cutter Midgett, Ward’s has received the contract to install a real-time hull stress monitoring system on board the 378-foot Hamilton-class cutter series. We also combined several divisions (engraving, paint, manufacturing and inside repair) into one division called Inside Services. Production stages and efficiencies are measured with greater consistency under single management. The engraving department has a new state-of-the-art laser engraver and paint booth system. Today’s modern
boat owner wants a unique look and the ability to put his/her own stamp on their boat. Together these new tools will allow us to do just that. We recently built pump control boxes for Titan Salvage for equipment being used in the salvage of the Costa Concordia. Our switchgear division has completed the design of a threegenerator switchboard with emergency switchboard. All Ward’s switchgear is manual first and automated second. An automation fault shall never prohibit a power source from being manually connected and providing electrical power to the vessel.
And we’ve added a service coordinator to our service team. Pam Archard has already made the process of scheduling service and technician dispatch much more efficient. There’s more, so I hope your readers will stop by on Oct. 16 to see it all for themselves. Find Ward’s Marine Electric, (+1 954-523-2815, www.wardsmarine. com) at 617 S.W. Third Ave. From 17th Street, take Andrews Avenue north to Southwest Seventh Street, make a left across the railroad tracks to Third Avenue and make a right. See you there.

Resolve expands services in Alaska, Invenia launches med side Hill Robinson opens crew office
Yacht brokerage and management company Hill Robinson has opened a crew office in Antibes to aid in the staffing of the 45 yachts under management. It will be managed by Esther Delamare, formerly of Fraser’s The Crew Network. Crew can visit Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to noon to speak with a recruitment agent, or register online at www.HRCrew.com. The office is located opposite the railway station.
Resolve acquires Alaska group
Ft. Lauderdale-based Resolve Marine Group has acquired Magone Marine Services of western Alaska, resulting in expanded emergency response and marine services. The new business will be named Resolve-Magone Marine Services (Alaska) and homeported at Dutch Harbor, where Magone Marine is based. Its founder, Dan Magone, will continue overseeing operations. Resolve has relocated two vessels to augment Magone’s fleet in Alaska: the salvage tug Resolve Pioneer with an
80-ton bollard pull capability, and the salvage barge RMG 300, which has a 450-ton capacity crane on board. “Dan Magone’s background is amazing and we’re really looking forward to adding his unique expertise to Resolve” Resolve President Joe Farrell said. “There’s no substitute for experience in our industry.” Magone Marine has operated out of Dutch Harbor for nearly 40 years, providing salvage, emergency assistance, and ship repair services in the Bering Sea region. Details at www.resolvemarine.com.
Invenia launches medical side
Ft. Lauderdale-based Invenia Technologies, a drug and environmental testing company, has launched a medical division. The new division provides Class A, B and C medical kits as well as replenishment and refurbishment for existing vessel medical kits. The company has also designed a kit specifically for the sportfish market as well as small and large tender kits and diving kits. The division will be managed by former Ocean Medical employees Rebecca Castellano in Ft. Lauderdale as manager of sales for the USA/ Caribbean and Nicholas Stael von Holstein in Palma as manager of sales in Europe. Ocean Medical was bought by MedAire in April. Invenia’s medical division offers to yachts a full range of medical supplies such as defibrillators, medical oxygen, trauma packs and stretchers; the 24/7 doctor call service The First Call (TFC); and state-of-the-art telemedicine with Safe Triage System (STS), a tablet PC with video/still photo capability for capturing vital signs and transmitting this data in real time to doctors. For more information, visit www. inveniatech.com
MicFil division opens
Francois Greyling, former superintendent for quality and safety with Fraser Yachts, has started a company in Ft. Lauderdale to sell, install and service MicFil oil and fuel filters. The filters are up to 20 times finer than standard filters and include a magnetic system on the injectors that, according to the company, eliminate the need to change oil. “It sounds too good to be true, I know, but I just came back from Germany and there are ships on the Rhine using this system that have 22,000 hours with no oil change,” Greyling said. The more that oil gets passed through the filters, the cleaner it gets, he said. He tells his customers to try skipping one scheduled oil change and then test the oil to see how it is. Skip another and the oil will be even cleaner, he said. And with fuel, the system removes particles, resulting in a cleaner burn with less soot and more efficiency, according to company literature. Capt. Alex Proch, formerly of the 100-foot Broward M/Y Quiet Place, introduced these filters in a story in the December 2007 issue of The Triton. For more information, visit www. micfil.com.

Raven Offshore Yacht ships first boat charter from Seattle BUSINESS BRIEFS, from page A12
Raven loads and departs
The first charter of new Seattlebased yacht transport company Raven Offshore Yacht Shipping (above) loaded and departed on schedule on Aug. 25 from Vancouver, B.C. Co-founded earlier this year by insurance broker Rick Gladych and Anthony Utley of Raven Marine Services, Raven Offshore Yacht Shipping charters the decks of Grieg’s L-Class Ships and they are paid-in-full, virtually eliminating third-party issues that created trouble for YachtPath International this summer. Unpaid
shipping bills caused YachtPath to file bankruptcy in March. Raven uses the lift on/lift off services of Marine Heavy Lift Services (MHL). “If you book, we ship, period,” said Gladych, who has worked with shipper YachtPath in the past. “We encourage all potential customers to thoroughly research our entire operation from top to bottom, because a well-educated consumer will be our best customer.” The transport ship was expected to arrive in Port Everglades in September before heading off to its final destination in Northern Europe.

RoboVault gets new leader
Ft. Lauderdale-based RoboVault, robotic self-storage facility, has been acquired by BBX Capital. Former BankAtlantic executive Susan McGregor has been named its president and general manager. BBX Capital is the non-banking successor to BankAtlantic Bancorp and focuses on acquiring mid-market businesses positioned for growth. McGregor said the facility is a perfect match for the yachting industry that surrounds it in southeastern Ft. Lauderdale. It provides short-term as well as long-term storage so would be convenient for yachts during refit, she said. “We believe RoboVault would be a great partner with the yachting industry,” she said. “We work very closely with high net-worth customers, just like captains and crew do, so we
know what they expect.” Opened about four years ago, RoboVault is a facility that offers robotic storage of luxury items including cars, fine art, antiques and wine. Its 487 units are climate controlled, secured by biometrics and fully automated. There is no human access to the robotic storage area. It also has 66 units of various sizes for conventional self-storage. The facility is wind resistant up to 200 mph (category 5 hurricane) and stores items 30 feet above sea level. The fine art and antiques division offers pick up, packaging, shipping, storage and installation services. It also has a wine vault that is climate and humidity controlled. The 46 units in that area are nearly sold out, she said, so the company is planning to double that space. And there is also a safety deposit vault onsite accessed by biometrics such as iris scans and fingerprints. “There is so much to RoboVault,” McGregor said. “We’re going to have an open house for the yachting industry. You really have to walk through the facility to get an idea of all that we can do. BBX Capital bought the facility out of bankruptcy in April. McGregor joined the company in July. –Lucy Chabot Reed
Cruising Club pulishes guide
The Atlantic Cruising Club has released its newest guide of marinas, the Guide to Florida’s West Coast Marinas, which includes the 161 marinas that welcome yachts from Everglades City to Pensacola. ACC’s guides include a special rating symbol for marinas with facilities capable of providing overnight or longer dockage/moorings for large vessels. They are available in both print and searchable digital formats with information including controlling depths and provisioning resources to photographs and sightseeing, historic or other attractions (including golf courses). ACC guides cover 1,600 marinas from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Pensacola and from Desolation Sound, British Columbia, to the Oregon/California border on the West Coast. The company’s next guide will be an updated Guide to Long Island Sound Marinas followed by a new Guide to East Coast MegaYacht Marinas in 2014. The guides do not accept advertising from marinas nor does it request payment from marinas that are included in the guide. The digital version – for now, only for PCs – has both criteria-based or

A16 October 2013 FROM THE BRIDGE: Daywork
www.the-triton.com
The Triton
Captains want crew to work, not just travel BRIDGE, from page A1 Many people new to yachting begin by dayworking to get a foot in the door. Dayworking is also common among existing yacht crew between jobs who are looking for their next boat. But from a captain’s perspective, just what value do dayworkers have? Can’t you or your crew do this work yourselves and just choose not to? “Absolutely not,” one captain said. “We hire because we need to. We’re down to skeleton crew. We used to be the captain and five crew; now we’re down to three. Even properly crewed, I still need dayworkers seasonally to get all the maintenance done.” Other captains agreed. When we asked about the dayworker pool, the captains noted that there are good workers to be found, even if it’s harder to find them in some places. “The quality of dayworkers in Ft. Lauderdale is a little less than it was,” one captain said. “Guys in Antigua will break themselves the whole day.” “It’s a good thing for other crew to see that, and to comment on it in front of them,” another said. “It keeps them a little scared for their jobs.” The subject of pay did not create much conversation. Something between $12 and $20 an hour appeared pretty standard, depending on the work that’s required and the level of skill of the worker. These captains also didn’t blink at providing lunch and even transportation to their temporary crew. “Pay is driven by what the owner is willing to pay and what you can hire for,” one captain said. “I’ll pay $15 [an hour] for a stew doing laundry, $20 for someone experienced helping in the engine room. They get lunch and a train ticket, and I’ll pick them up from the train, drop them off.” Another captain pays a little more so he doesn’t have to fuss with hiring. “I use yacht management companies that hire dayworkers,” this captain said. “You pay $25 an hour for someone that a reputable company has already vetted. If I need someone to do some waxing, or I need help in the engine room, it’s worth it to me to spend a little extra for that service.” “And for piece of mind,” another captain said. “And not to waste my time,” the first captain replied. “I like to give a guy walking the docks an opportunity, but it usually doesn’t work out,” one captain said. “Say I need the stainless waxed and the bilges cleaned. He says, ‘I’ll be here at 7 tomorrow morning.’ At 9:30, I get a See BRIDGE, page A17

Daywork a springboard when crew take it seriously and work BRIDGE, from page A16 phone call to tell me he couldn’t get a ride. It’s a waste of my time.” Are dayworkers only hired for entry level tasks? “Certainly, dayworking is how most people get started in yachting,” one captain said. “But this is where you have to make a difference between dayworkers and freelance,” another said. “Freelance workers have skills and are not entry level. Something else is going on in their life and they aren’t looking for permanent work.” “It’s hard to find good dayworkers that you take in off the street and say ‘here’s what has to be done’ without holding their hand and spending the whole day with them,” said a third. “They’re always working next to someone else,” another captain said. “Your experienced people spread out with an assistant get more done. It’s part of the planning, and it’s part of the learning how to teach. They have to take responsibility for someone else’s actions so they learn responsibility.” “Being on smaller boats, I have to have someone who can work unsupervised,” said another. When not calling a management company for dayworkers, a few of these captains said they often just call their favorite crew house. “I use Neptune Group’s Daywork123,” one captain said of the free Web site that lists available crew with their phone numbers and resumes. “I’ve even found full-time crew off of that.” “I go to Josh [Cunningham] of Freedom Yacht Services,” another captain said of the Ft. Lauderdale company that offers all sorts of cleaning services. “You’re getting good work from a reputable company.” “I usually ask my crew if they know anyone,” said a third. “It’s also a function of where you are docked. At Lauderdale Marine Center, they don’t
let you in to walk the docks so if I find someone there, they are already vetted by the fact that they got through the front gate.” The captains shared a few stories of bad dayworker experiences, which sparked these tips for anyone looking to work on a yacht: knock on hulls, walk the docks, show up, do what you are told, don’t complain. “Don’t just leave a card or a resume,” one captain said. “Talk to the captain or the mate.” “Do not go papering every boat on the dock, especially just laying it on the teak,” another captain said. “When you come back to ask for work, you can have it, cleaning up the mess you left.” “I’ll tell them to come back and see me tomorrow,” said a third. “That’s a test. If they show up, I’ll give them some work.” “But there’s a difference in being persistent and not paying attention to what you are doing,” one captain noted. “I’ve seen kids come back the next day and give me the same spiel all over again, completely forgetting that they talked to me yesterday. Pay attention to the boats you call on. It’s your job. Approach it professionally.” Sprinkled in among their dayworker horror stories were a few reports of remarkable dayworker experiences these captains had, including one young man who offered to do anything that needed to be done. “He didn’t even ask a price,” this captain said. “He showed up at 7:30, I bought him lunch, and he knocked off at 6. I wanted to give him money, but he said no. He just wanted to do it for the experience.” Did you let him do that? “Yes, but then I got him a deckhand job on a 150-foot and a year later, he’s a mate.” Lucy Chabot Reed is editor of The Triton.

E Clay Shaw Memorial Bridge in Ft. Lauderdale.
The Triton
TRITON FILE PHOTO
Shaw helped save jobs, show bonds and customs deferral Former U.S. Rep. Clay Shaw, who represented South Florida in Washington, died Sept. 17 after a long battle with lung cancer. He was 74. Mr. Shaw spent 26 years in Washington but also served in public office in Fort Lauderdale. His ties to South Florida’s marine industry were strong, as recalled by a colleague. While it is with great sadness that I write these words, there is also an equally compelling feeling of pride. No matter what capacity you may have been introduced to him, whether it be as congressman, representative, mayor or simply by his first name, you always shook the hand of a champion, especially if you were a part of the marine industry. For those who never had the honor of meeting E. Clay Shaw, I will highlight just a couple of his accomplishments that blessed our industry. We all remember the devastating effects of the luxury tax placed on our industry and others. In January of 1993, Congressman Shaw introduced the Boating Industry Jobs Preservation Act of 1991. The difference in years is more than likely the result of the time it took to finally get the bill introduced with 137 co-sponsors. That bill ultimately resulted in the repeal of the tax, saving hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country. In 1997, Congressman Shaw was responsible for the enactment of the boat show bond that allowed foreignflagged yachts over 80 feet to defer paying duty to Customs for six months
as long as they participated in South Florida’s boat shows (Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Palm Beach). Congressman Shaw understood the significance of the show and the international market it represented. When the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) began the journey of removing the recreational marine industry from the federal jurisdiction of the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act in 2001, the first meeting was with Congressman Shaw to develop a strategy. That strategy proved successful in 2009 when the amendment was signed. In 2002, the E Clay Shaw Memorial Bridge was completed. We know it simply as the 17th Street bridge). Mr. Shaw was a critical component of the project and was instrumental in acquiring funding for the project and maintaining its status as a drawbridge even though it was raised significantly over the waterway. Imagine the boats today that would have never been able to frequent our waterways if that had been a fixed bridge. These are only a few of the legacies Clay Shaw left behind. I encourage you to visit the web and you will see decades of help to the citizens of South Florida and across this nation. So the next time you visit Fort Lauderdale, and the South Florida region, remember all of the many gifts the marine industry was given by such a great leader. Kristina Hebert President, MIASF

Survey gives valuable intel
I just finishing reading the article “Tie me up, tie me down, but make it side-to” [Triton survey, page C1, September issue]. What a great article. This is great information to provide an unbiased account to new marina owners, especially those in the development stage, as what to look for. We go through all these recommendations everywhere such as wi-fi and consistent electrical service. And, of course, we recommend concrete floating docks with finger piers for ease of use.

Chef Lauren Bowes said she has thousands of photos from her travels on S/Y Avalon and M/Y Hope. She has captured images from Cabo San Lucas, the Panama Canal, San Blas Islands and Boca Del Toro off Panama and Plancencia in Belize. She uses a DSLR Nikon D80 with 70-300mm and a 18-55mm DX lenses. This month we chose her subtle shot of a single mangrove seed taking root in shallow water.
Don’t be fooled; rights cost money This letter comes from a veteran captain who was not paid for his final weeks of work and the advice he received about what to do about it. He asked that his name not be printed, though he is known to The Triton.
I have just had a very pleasant conversation with a maritime attorney concerning crew rights. The bottom line is that crew do have rights but they have to pay for them and there is no guarantee that they will ever recover a dime. I have retained an attorney and have to advance $1,500 to get him to write a threatening letter (without teeth) to a billionaire. He/she can play the legal game and delay the repayment almost indefinitely or, alternatively, threaten to sue the crew member. The attorney agreed that I did have a right for payment but if I wanted to consider putting realistic teeth in the threat for seizure or lien, he would require a $10,000 retainer. This is a practice that only large companies have the assets to fight for. My claim of [a few thousand dollars] is “chump change” to owners and they know it. It’s all very disheartening as I thought the reason for many of the rules is to prevent this from happening.

LY3 rewrites radio, bunk and sub rules
Shake, rattle and roll
The most common cause of vibration problems on yachts is related to machinery installation and alignment, ILLUSTRATION PROVIDED and more specifically, the main propulsion machinery isolation mounts.
Technology isolates yacht vibrations By Lucy Chabot Reed The gentle hum of an engine can be soothing when under way. In fact, some people sleep soundly to the low vibrations. But when vibrations begin to shake the chandelier, it’s time to have things checked out. Vibration expert Rich Merhige talked about the basics of vibrations and the tools his company, Advanced Mechanical Enterprises (AME) in Ft. Lauderdale, uses to diagnose problems with misalignment, imbalance and vibration. What once was raw waveform data (the plot of a signal whose amplitude varies with time) can now be broken down into a series of sines and cosines of particular frequencies and amplitudes. Thanks to microprocessors and their ever increasing power, vibration analyzers have gotten more powerful,

too, so that today, engineers and maintenance technicians can diagnose specifically what’s causing a vibration. Turns out, the most common cause of vibration problems on yachts is related to machinery installation and alignment, and more specifically, the main propulsion machinery isolation mounts, Merhige said. “Because these take thrust and torque, they wear and deform, requiring readjusting and realignment periodically,” he said. “Often times this is overlooked in the vessel maintenance.” Merhige gave a presentation on vibration in Ft. Lauderdale in September to regional members of SNAME, the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. In addition to the basics of what causes vibration, he offered attendees the science to back it up.
After the presentation, we asked Merhige a few more yacht-specific questions. Q. What should yacht captains and engineers pay attention to if they suspect a vibration issue? Merhige: It is helpful if the vessel crew is able to note the location of the greatest vibration and at what speed and conditions (water depth, bunkers onboard, sea state, etc.). They can also make visual observations of any shakes and wobbles of the machinery, exhaust system piping, propeller shafts, even vessel appointments (such as chandeliers). I had one vessel where a piano started to hum at a certain rpm. It turned out to be out-of-pitch propellers. Q. What can captains and engineers do to prevent or avoid some of these problems?

This fall has been a busy season for the implementation of new regulations. With the August implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention, the United Kingdom also released its third version of the Large Commercial Yacht Code. Like its predecessors of LY1 and LY2, the acronym family continues with LY3. Rules of the Road Originally Jake DesVergers published in 1998 as the Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) Regulations, these regulations created minimum criteria for the design, construction, and operation of large commercial yachts. International regulations established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) were and continued to be primarily for merchant ships. Because commercial yachts did not fall naturally into a single category of merchant ship (passenger, tanker, cargo, etc.), some safety standards were incompatible and/or impractical for large yachts. Thus the Large Yacht Code was born. While established for the UK and its Crown dependency yacht registers, collectively referred to as the Red Ensign Group, the Large Yacht Code has since become the de facto standard for yacht safety within our industry. Following the success of the Code’s release by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), other ship registers such as Belize, Malta, the Marshall Islands, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines decided to implement similar codes for yachts within their respective registers. Other major yachting registers such as Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Panama have accepted the large yacht codes versus creating another set of rules for an already crowded field. LY3 remains a robust set of standards for the safe operation of yachts engaged in commercial trade. This version of the code

Flat panel satellite antennas a yacht option New flat antennas launched
Mallorca-based e3 Systems and Kymeta Corp. have collaborated to bring flat panel satellite antennas to the yachting market. Low-profile, flat panel antennas will enable global access to high speed internet and HDTV services with minimal impact on yacht design. Kymeta has signed an agreement with Inmarsat for Global Xpress (GX) and e3 has been appointed by Inmarsat as its value-added reseller for yachting. The two companies planned to showcase the technology at the Monaco Yacht Show in late September. “Yacht designers and owners will love the Kymeta solution,” said Roger Horner, managing director of e3 Systems. “No longer will unsightly satellite antenna domes ruin yachts’ fabulous lines or will attempts be made to hide them. Sailing yacht owners will also love this technology as they can avoid mounting heavy antennas in the rig. How different would S/Y Meteor look?” The Kymeta flat panel technology, which uses no moving parts and can be designed to be conformal with the vessel, will work on the new High Throughput Satellite (HTS) systems that are currently being deployed, and will provide high-speed Internet connectivity as well as HDTV reception
to yachts while cruising or in port, enabling video streaming, video calling and other key activities that passengers and crew on yachts require. E3 Systems (www.e3s.com) specializes in communication systems for high-end yachts. Kymeta Corp. (www.kymetacorp.com) manufactures software-enabled electronic beamforming antennas for satellite communications.

Centek launches exhaust cooler
Georgia-based Centek Industries, an exhaust systems manufacturer, introduced Coolflow at IBEX in September, a device designed to help prevent wet exhaust components from overheating at low engine speeds. “Lack of sufficient cooling water in the exhaust stream when certain boats run at low engine speeds for an extended period of time can cause heat related damage to exhaust components, which over time lead to failure,” said Centek Vice President of Sales and Marketing Bill Arwood. Coolflow adds additional water to the engine exhaust system just aft of the riser and produces a specific spray pattern for optimal cooling. It is built in Centek’s factory according to engine specifications from high temperature and corrosion-resistant fiberglass components. Centek holds numerous patents for fiberglass marine exhaust systems and holds trademarks on seven industry standard products. Its fiberglass components are Lloyd’s Register Type
approved, ABS Type approved and meet or exceed ABYC-P1 standards. For more information, visit www. centekindustries.com.
SatSleeve launches
Ft. Lauderdale-based Global Satellite has launched its Thuraya SatSleeve, technology that turns a cell phone into a satellite phone. The new model allows users to make calls, send and receive SMS messages over satellite, use e-mail and instant messaging, and interact with various social media, even in remote locations.
Gelcoat in a can launched
Florida-based Gelcoat products manufacturer Dolphinite introduced its new GelMatch All-In-One Gelcoat Aerosol Can at IBEX in September. The can is pre-filled with a proprietary All-In-One Gelcoat and matched to original factory colors of boats dating back to 1984. “We have developed this product because of the lack of Gelcoat matching and application specialists, craftsmen that this industry needs desperately,” Dolphinite President and CEO Adam Boulay said. “My idea is to give every boat owner the opportunity to repair their boat like a professional.” The product features a twocomponent can that houses the M.E.K.P. catalyst in an inner chamber, which is activated for fast use by simply breaking the inner seal at the bottom of the can. In the outer chamber, the can is filled with Dolphinite’s proprietary AllIn-One gelcoat formula color matched to original factory colors using Dolphinite’s GelMatch Gelcoat Color Matching System. This system allows users to enter year, make, model and length. Spray coverage is handled with Dolphinite’s Variator Nozzle, which gives the user the ability to adjust fan size and output. The nozzle can spray vertical or horizontal while controlling the fan pattern, much like a professional spray gun. For more information, visit www. dolphiniteproducts.com.

Dometic partners with Livos
South Florida-based Dometic Marine has entered a strategic partnership with Stuart, Fla.-based Livos Technologies, a provider of engine room ventilation equipment and systems for the commercial and pleasure boat markets. Under the agreement, Dometic will become a reseller of Livos Technologies’ axial fans, centrifugal blowers, smoke and fire dampers, mist-eliminating grilles, and electronic fan controls. Dometic will offer its customers: Commercial-grade fans and blowers. Blades are constructed of high-strength PPG glass-reinforced polyamide. Fan motors are high efficiency, direct drive and reversible. All hardware is marinegrade aluminum or 316 stainless steel. Smoke and fire dampers, which come in both marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel. Mist-eliminating grilles with four drainage options: bottom, face, horizontal and sump draining. Pressure and temperature monitoring fan controls. Controls are available for three-phase fans and blowers, as well as 24 VDC fans. Three-phase systems can also have fire damper control. Interface with central monitoring systems is optional. For details, visit www. dometicmarine.com or www.livostech. com.
Dometic launches new products
In mid-September, Dometic introduced seven new products during the IBEX show in Kentucky. New products include a macerator toilet with rotating base, color touch-
screen A/C controllers, a portable freshwater reverse-osmosis system, plus three refrigeration enhancements. Specifically, they include: Dometic Marine’s Orbit 7100 Series MasterFlush Toilet, an electric macerator marine toilet with a rotating base that won an IBEX Innovation Award in the Mechanical Systems category; Dometic Spot Zero Dock Box, a portable freshwater reverse-osmosis system that can be stored and used dockside for spot-free cleaning and for filling a boat’s freshwater tanks; Eskimo Ice Diverter, a sensor-based system to maximize ice production; Eskimo Ice Pusher, a device that automatically pushes stacked ice away from the “bin-full” sensor. Dometic Smart Touch Cabin Control, a full-color touch-activated thermostat and system control for a boat’s air conditioning system; Dometic Smart Touch Chiller Control, a touch-activated HVAC system controller for Cruisair and Marine Air brands; Dometic HZB Portable Ice Maker, a countertop model capable of producing 23 lbs of ice every 24 hours. Ice is ready 14 minutes after turning on the unit. The enhancements to existing products include the CR1050 and the CRD50 refrigerators now with stainless steel doors, and the KRA 425 cabinet condensing unit now in a new onequarter horsepower version with a slanted shape to improve ventilation when mounted near the ceiling.

Volvo Penta treats ethanol
Virginia-based Volvo Penta of the Americas now offers a fuel additive to protect any outboard or sterndrive marine engines from the effects of fuels
containing ethanol. “Ethanol-blended fuels such as E10 and E15 are approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the automotive market, but ethanol damages marine engines and fuel systems due to the corrosive properties of alcohol,” said David Kennedy, director of parts and accessory operations for Volvo Penta of the Americas. “Unlike automobiles, most marine engines are only operated intermittently. Today’s oxygenated and ethanol-blended fuels can begin to oxidize in as little as 30 days if left untreated in the boat’s tank, resulting in corrosion inside the engine and fuel system.”
Lantic offers movie service
Denmark-based Lantic Entertainment Systems, manufacturer of audio-visual systems for yachts, planned to launch at the Monaco Yacht Show a service that delivers movies and music direct to yachts. The service is highly flexible, allowing users to specify individual movies as well as request general selections based on their preferred genres. Almost any movie in any language that is currently available as an official DVD or Blu-ray release can be supplied, along with a wide range of TV dramas and documentaries. The same universal scope applies to music tracks and albums. The cost of the service includes an annual, non-theatrical license that removes all playback restrictions for content that is played on board private and charter yachts. The license is valid across all flag states. Lantic is offering a range of packages from 100 to 1,000 movies, together with the optional update service.

www.the-triton.com FROM THE TECH FRONT: Rules of the Road
Gross tonnage removed, accommodations changed RULES, from page B1 continues with its previous regulations while adding new requirements for yachts. Here is a summary of the major revisions. 1. The upper threshold of 3,000 gross tons is removed. This means that vessels above this critical number may now use the code for compliance. Previously, yachts larger than 3,000 gross tons had no choice but to ensure full compliance with the applicable merchant shipping regulations. 2. Chapter 16 for Radio Equipment and Communications was revised in full. It now parallels the regulations found in SOLAS Chapter IV for vessels in the GMDSS system. 3. Chapter 21 for Accommodation was also revised in full. It provides the UK’s interpretations and equivalencies for compliance to the Maritime Labour Convention. Subdivided into sections A and B, the contents therein outline the major allowances to be implemented on yachts below 200 GT and those yachts above 200 GT. The 200 GT threshold is viewed as a key level, especially for compliance with the size of sleeping areas, work areas and recreational spaces for crew. 4. A new Section 24.5 was added to address the ever-increasing popularity of submersibles on board yachts. In
addition to new minimum standards for their construction, also included are standards for operation, maintenance and crew certification. 5. New guidance was provided for the design and operation of passenger lifts. Focus was placed on means of escape, communications and structural fire protection. 6. The placement of rescue boats was further revised. Allowable areas have been defined for yachts above and below 500 GT, plus those considered “short range” yachts. 7. Additional sections were added that relate to operations in the polar regions, rules compliance during races, safety gear for working over-the-side, and harmonization of several rules with SOLAS and MARPOL. One important key factor is that LY3 has retroactive requirements that will affect yachts certified under the previous versions of LY1 and LY2. These are listed in Section 3.3.3.4: Section 13.2.4 Lifejackets; Section 16.3.1 (Radio equipment); Section 18.1.8 Vessels of 300 GT and over have LRIT fitted; Section 18.1.9 Vessels of 150 GT and over have BNWAS fitted; Section 26 Manning and Personnel Certification; Section 29 Crew Agreements; and Section 30.2 Vessels under 500 GT,
Safety Management. Existing sailing yachts may take advantage of the definition of a “short range yacht” in this version of the code. The yachting industry is an everchanging and constantly evolving marketplace. Just in the last few years, we have seen the size of yachts exponentially increase. We have seen the locations that yachts visit become more exotic and remote. Moreover, we have seen the envelope pushed when it comes to design and construction. Just as the industry changes, so must the regulations that provide safe guidance for those involved with it. LY3 is the latest attempt to raise the standard for yachts and it is heading in the right direction. Capt. Jake DesVergers is chief surveyor for International Yacht Bureau (IYB), an organization that provides flag-state inspection services to yachts on behalf of several administrations.

B10 October 2013 FROM THE TECH FRONT: Vibration
www.the-triton.com
The Triton
Check propulsion, even in new builds VIBRATION, from page B1 Merhige: Perform an annual vibration survey of the vessel hull and machinery to have an accurate idea of propulsion system performance and condition. Make engine and exhaust system mounts and support inspections and measurements part of the vessel’s planned maintenance and dry-docking inspections, along with vessel main shafts TIR (total indicator run out) measurements. Inspect engine torsional and shaft flexible couplings for deformation or cracks. Keep propeller in good clean condition. Q. Once they have determined a vibration issue, what can they do to correct or diminish problems before things get too bad? Merhige: Main propulsion machinery, depending on the arrangement, are subjected to high forces of engine torque and propeller thrust. This leads to changes in the alignment, which need to be checked. If excessive vibration is noted, don’t run at high rpms and loads as this could have catastrophic consequences. Q. During your presentation, you mentioned that many yachts will launch with misalignment in the shaft, giving it vibration problems from Day 1. How can captains and engineers
identify this issue? Merhige: The shaft will have excessive friction in the bearings. This will be particularly noticeable when maneuvering as the shaft may squeal and stop suddenly when shifting. The engine may also have higher load; difference in load between main engines is a sign. Misalignment can also manifest itself as a shaft seal leak. Also part of the SNAME event was Paul Nailor of Wartsila who talked about the launch of bio-oil seals and the use of water-lubricated seals and bearings to the commercial market. New EPA regulations on environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) are coming into effect in December, he said, on commercial vessels larger than 79 feet trading in U.S. waters. In those vessels, EALs must be used in all oil-to-water interfaces and must be changed out by the next dry dock period after this date. On Oct. 1, Wartsila will launch the Bio Seal Ring, a seal compatible to EALapproved oils and offer the same level of performance as existing seals used with standard oils. Vessels can also adopt water lubrication for stern tube applications like the ones the military has used for decades. The advantages, he said, are that they offer an environmentally
friendly solution for which maintenance of the seals can be performed without going into dry dock. Earlier this year, Wartsila named AME its authorized distributor of seals and bearings for Florida. “I have been in this field since its infancy,” Merhige said. “In old days, the guys used fax paper and a machine that looked like something out of World War II with the needle going back and forth on a page. Then the guys would have to figure this stuff out in the field.” Vibration monitoring, he said, helps identify problems before they become failures, resulting in more efficient maintenance and less down time. While the practice is common in the commercial shipping world, not many yachts make this a regular part of vessel maintenance. “Where it would help 30-100m yachts is in monitoring pumps, gears, A/C systems and engines,” Merhige said. “Identifying problems early would eliminate breakdowns and unpleasant surprises. When things fail, they don’t fail in a straight line. They get bad, and get bad, they fail exponentially. But you could see it coming.” Lucy Chabot Reed is editor of The Triton.

TRITON SURVEY: Preparing for Death
Most captains and crew have at least thought about the end of their life and have made some arrangement for it. PHOTO/DORIE COX Some request a quick burial at sea, a traditional nautical solution.
Are you prepared to handle death onboard? By Lucy Chabot Reed An industry friend died last month and it got us thinking about death, especially how prepared we are to handle this fact of life. Being ashore, many of the details are taken care of: call emergency personnel and they will handle it. But on a yacht, the captain and crew are the professionals. How ready are they to handle a death onboard? As it turns out, plenty. We targeted this month’s survey to captains and were interested in finding out if they have prepared their crew to handle their own death. We started with a few formalities, asking simply Do you have a will? About two-thirds of our nearly 100 respondents have a will: 40 percent have a current one, and 25 percent more have a will that needs a tune up. If we add in the 23 percent of
Your excuses won’t hold New fitness columnist keeps you in ship shape onboard C8
respondents who don’t yet actually have a will but who are working on it, that means about 88 percent of yacht captains who took our survey have at least thought about making plans for the end of their life. “I would strongly suggest to have a will in place if you are married or have worldly possession and details of what one wants done with their remains,” said a captain in his late 50s who runs a yacht less than 80 feet. Although a will is important in handling all our assets after we die, we wanted to focus our survey on the actual event of our passing, so we asked Do you have a living will? That’s the document that details our wishes regarding life-prolonging medical treatments, in the event we can’t speak for ourselves. Here, captains are a little less in control. About 46 percent of our respondents
have a living will: 33 percent have a current one and 13 percent have one that needs a little work. About 26 percent of our respondents don’t have one but are working on it. That leaves 28 percent of our respondents who haven’t thought about this document, more than double the number who haven’t yet thought about creating a will. But living wills are specific to medical treatments. They are more for doctors and the protection of our families. We wanted to know if yacht captains have thought about the details of their death so we asked Do you have a plan for what should happen to your body after death? Most (56 percent) do. Whether it’s written down in a legal document (21 percent) or simply expressed to their loved ones (35 percent), more than

Heirloom ancient grains and ancient wheats are a great way to get rid of the refined and processed grains and wheat you have stashed in your cupboards onboard. I am pretty sure if you looked right now, you might find plain oatmeal, white rice, and brown rice, but not many ancient grains. Do yourself Culinary Waves a favor and toss Mary Beth them. Now repeat Lawton Johnson after me: I will no longer be a member of the plain white rice evolution but a mover and shaker of the ancient grain movement; I will buy some einkorn or millet today. (Don’t worry, I have a source for you.) Technically, when we talk about ancient whole grains, we are referring to these gems: amaranth, buckwheat, freekah (a type of wheat), black barley, colored rices (even though they are rices), millet, teff, quinoa and sorghum. These grains are packed with health benefits such as fiber as well as being heirloom, meaning they have passed from generations of growers for thousands of years and have not been genetically altered. When we talk of ancient wheats, we mean einkorn, emmer, spelt and kamut. And when we call them ancient, we mean it. Consider, for instance, kamut. It was found in Egypt in the tombs of pharaohs. Quinoa was discovered among the Inca ruins. Only one of the multitude of yachts I have worked on as a charter chef has had ancient grains in her cupboard. That is sad. There are several reasons that most chefs don’t use these two nutritious food groups on their menus. One reason is that they are hard to find. They are not readily available in all the areas we travel. At the end of this

Ancestors knew something; apples do prevent disease The old adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” is true. More specifically, research published in the past year suggests that regularly eating one or more of these crisp juicy fruits daily may keep the endocrinologist and cardiologist away. This is great news if you have or have a family history of diabetes Take It In and/or heart Carol Bareuther disease. In the first study, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health discovered that people who ate a serving of whole fruit – specifically apples as well as blueberries and grapes – at least twice weekly were up to 23 percent less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who consumed these fruit once a month or less. Even more interesting, these food scientists found that subjects who drank fruit juice (they looked at apple, orange, grapefruit and other juices) daily increased their risk of developing diabetes by nearly 23 percent. Yet, when subjects traded three servings of juice each week for whole fruit instead, their diabetes risk decreased by 7 percent. These findings are pretty amazing for two reasons. First, it was a big study. Researchers looked at data from almost 188,000 subjects (more than 12,000 eventually developed Type 2 diabetes) that participated in three sizable studies between 1984 and 2008. Secondly, this is no bitter pill to swallow. It’s pretty easy and tasty to eat apples. In the second study, Ohio State University scientists found eating apples can substantially reduce blood levels of cholesterol, a fatty substance that can clog arteries and cause heart disease. In this study, researchers recruited 33 40- to 60-year-olds who didn’t smoke, didn’t eat apples more than twice a month and didn’t take any plant-based supplements that contained polyphenols. Half, or 16 of these subjects, ate a large Red Delicious or large Golden Delicious apple daily for four weeks. Results showed that the blood cholesterol level of these subjects dropped by 40 percent. The other 17 subjects took pills
containing polyphenols, a type of plant-based antioxidant in apples, and experienced only a small decrease in cholesterol. These results are incredible because cholesterol-lowering medications are one of the top four prescriptions taken by 20- to 44-yearold men in the United States, and some of these have dangerous side effects such as muscle weakness, memory loss and nerve damage. What is the magic in apples that can help to prevent two major chronic diseases? It’s not one thing, according to researchers from both studies; it’s many. This is why maximum benefits come from eating the entire apple, not just drinking the juice or taking one substance in apples in pill form. Nutritionally, a medium-size apple (about 6 ounces) provides 80 calories, is an excellent source of fiber (which has been linked to slowing the absorption of sugars and reducing cholesterol levels), and contains no fat, cholesterol, saturated fat or sodium. Apples are also a good source of vitamin C. The appetizing news is that today there are so many different types of apples from which to choose. There are the PHOTO/DEAN BARNES old favorites like Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith. Gala and Fuji are becoming universal favorites, while the Honeycrisp has taken the world by storm for its crisp juicy texture and sweet flavor. Newer varieties, each with their own natural flavor profile (natural breeding not GMO or artificial colorings and flavorings), include Pink Lady, Ambrosia, Junami, Lady Alice, Opal, Piñata, Sweet Tango, Kiku and Kanzi. Apples are great for eating fresh out of hand. This is the way they were consumed in the two studies above. Yet there are other ways to enjoy apples. Instead of making into a pie or crisp with added sugar and fat, instead dip slices in a mixture of Greek yogurt and cinnamon, or add slices to a mixed green salad, or dice and add to coleslaw, or add slices atop a bowl of oatmeal. Although apples stay crispiest when stored under refrigeration, they don’t easily go bad if not refrigerated for a few days. This makes them a great fruit to buy, keep and eat while you’re out at sea. Carol Bareuther is a registered dietitian and a regular contributor to The Triton.

INTERIOR: Stew Cues
For service as it should be, skip ‘Below Deck,’ watch ‘The Butler’ For a glimpse of truly dignified service, the movie “The Butler” is a must see. The movie is based on a newspaper article about Eugene Allen, a butler who served in the White House under eight presidents from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan. The segregation and race riots of Stew Cues the 1950s, ’60s and Alene Keenan ’70s are a central theme, but one of the most powerful messages to get from the film is that of dignified, discreet, respectful service. It should be required viewing for every stew and every captain who wants to know what true service is all about. Not everyone gets “the call” to service. Not everyone has the perseverance to carry it through. And you know what? Not everyone has to. Life will go on. But for those of us who do get “the call”, service is larger than life and it becomes one of the foundations of our lives. We are all human, we all have our ups and downs, and it is the “down” part of our lives – and the drama that comes with it – that holds the biggest challenges and the highest potential for growth. In “The Butler”, we see the pride, honor of job and contribution to life that come from dedication to service at a high level and to a higher power. This requires maturity and a high level of professionalism. While we yacht stews may have trouble seeing the bigger picture when dealing with difficult owners or guests, the people we serve in yachting are invariably powerful people. Whether we choose to admire or scorn them, obviously they have done something right in order to achieve the level of “success” that they are living. At some point in our yachting career, many of us yearn to have the same trappings of success – the bling, the cars, the clothing – that define “luxury” as we know it today. How lucky are we to live smack dab in the middle of this environment? And at the very least we get to see that, well, to put it bluntly, money doesn’t always buy happiness, and the things that add the most value to our lives don’t always come with a six-figure price tag. Yachties have a different measure for life, just as the butlers of the White House do in the movie. Sometimes, we, too, witness history unfold. Our guests and owners are likely to be some of the most powerful and influential people on the planet, Oprah included.
From princes to presidents to Nobel prize-winning scientists and dot. com billionaires, we have seen it all. One cannot help but be humbled, and grateful for the rare glimpse of another world that we experience on a regular basis. But the biggest takeaway from all of this exposure to wealth and power is that we are all the same on a fundamental level, and sometimes we can profoundly relate to each other. One of my biggest lessons in life came about early in my yachting career. I used to think money could buy happiness. Until I saw one of my first bosses in the middle of a lawsuit that shook him and his family to their core. A charter guest was involved in a high-profile hostile takeover and was reputed in the press to be a not-so-nice person. But to us, he was like family, and he and his guests were polite, kind and respectful to a fault. It showed me that authenticity and integrity are valuable character traits. I can’t help but compare “The Butler” with the Bravo reality show “Below Deck”. They are equally popular right now, and yet complete opposites. I love the cast of “Below Deck”, yet I feel that those in authority are constantly being maligned by junior crew. That type of behavior is just part of the process. Until you have the time under your belt, you simply cannot see the big picture. It is normal to challenge the decisions of senior crew. But what goes around comes around, and at some point everyone gets the chance to revisit their beliefs. My mom used to call this “growing up”. As author Marianne Williamson said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.” And so we hold ourselves back. “There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you,” Williamson said. “We are all meant to shine, as children do.” Being in service is one of the most selfless, powerful, enlightened things you can do. Service gives us the opportunity to silently beam our best out to others, and in so doing, we really can make the world a better place. Alene Keenan has been a megayacht stew for more than 20 years.

Turtle Cheesecake with a twist There are many ways to make cheesecake, but the base of it all is the crust. It is all too easy to buy a ready-made graham cracker crust. However, making your own crust is simple and using vanilla wafers instead of graham crackers adds a different flavor combination to the dessert. Also, I like to use a smooth pie pan instead of those disposable aluminum pie pans as the presentation is much cleaner. This recipe takes a little bit of time to prepare, but the reward at the other end is well worth the effort. Enjoy. Prep: 30 min; Bake: 55 min; Cool: 1 hr; Chill: 2 hr Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer cookies, finely crushed (about 1/2 box) 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 eggs 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup hazelnut spread (I used Nutella) 1/4 cup hot fudge ice cream topping 1 cup caramel ice cream topping Fresh berries Preparation: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cookie crumbs and butter in medium bowl. Press firmly against bottom and side of pie plate, 9x1 1/4 inches. Place pie pan in freezer. Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Remove pan from freezer. Mix peanut butter and hazelnut spread and warm in microwave. Drizzle over pie crust. Pour half of the creamed cheese
mixture into pie plate. Add hot fudge topping to remaining cream cheese mixture in bowl; beat on low speed until smooth. Spoon over vanilla mixture in pie plate. Swirl mixtures slightly with tip of knife. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until center is set. (Do not insert knife into cheesecake because the hole may cause cheesecake to crack as it cools.) Cool at room temperature 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled. Serve with whipped cream, caramel topping and fresh berry garnish. Store covered in refrigerator up to two weeks. Capt.

Fear of the unfamiliar keeps many chefs from testing grains WAVES from page C1 column, I will give you a great resource that I have bought from so that you can stock up before you leave port. There are other reasons chefs don’t use these grains. They may consider them “poor man’s food”. They are not local. They fear the owner and guests will see them as carb-laden sides. But I believe the biggest reason most yacht chefs don’t use these great grains is because they don’t know how to cook them and are not sure how to use them. To get past these barriers, get to know your grains. One of their great capabilities is that they can stand up to really strong flavor pairings. Can you say garlic and onions and protein? They all have different cooking times and different tastes so you have to experiment. Find the flavor profiles that you like and want to keep onboard. These ancient grains and wheats
actually offer more than just plain rice or potatoes when prepared correctly – they can even take less time to prepare – with pronounced flavor profiles that adapt easily to other menu pairings. Ancient grains are also healthier for you, but the downside is the price. They are more expensive. For yachts looking to keep costs down, consider cutting back on the protein. Protein prices have escalated steadily over the past couple of years so instead of beef and lamb, try a dish of ancient whole grains with roasted vegetables for a complete meal. A diet rich in whole grains is found to produce lower cholesterol and lower incidences of colon cancer in us humans, not to mention that they are high in vitamins and minerals. One note, though: When using quinoa or millet, first wash the grains because they have a bitter coating on them.

Conch salad Made well, a conch salad is fresh, light and has a good combination of spicy, sweet, tart and savory. With the tropical charter season on the horizon, this might be the perfect treat for guests after a day of diving. Prep time really only relies on your chopping speed. The citrus does all the cooking, making this recipe a gem when your to-do list has more than one page. My fiancé is a conch salad connoisseur and to hear her say “the Bahamians better watch out” indicates a thumbs up. Enjoy.
I served this conch salad with an avocado. The salad goes very well PHOTO/MARK GODBEER with grilled steak as an alternative surf ‘n turf. Ingredients: 6 cleaned conch, cut into ¼-inch pieces 4 plum tomatoes, deseeded and brunoised 1 orange pepper, pith removed and brunoised 1 jalapeno, deseeded and brunoised 1 English cucumber, deseeded and brunoised 6 green onions, finely sliced 1 orange, juiced 1 lemon, juiced 2 limes, juiced 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 Tbsp sweet chili Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste Directions: Chop all the conch and vegetables and place in a glass bowl. In a separate bowl, add all the liquid ingredients and whisk together with
salt and pepper. Pour the dressing into conch mixture and mix well. Place a piece of cling wrap over the mixture and push down so that the film and conch mixture are flush. Apply pressure so that the liquid makes its way to the surface, this ensures even “cold cooking.” Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Serve cold.

Ancient grains work in breads, salads, soups or as a main course WAVES from page C6 The size, shape and color of many ancient grains make them an interesting addition to any meal. They have a variety of uses such as pancakes, breads, salads, soups or as a main course. I make a vegetable burger out of quinoa, black rice and millet. Consider making a black rice pudding, use them cooked and chilled in salads or throw some into soup for a hearty filler. Make that beautiful

Yachties can still stay in ship shape with metabolic training We all have excuses when it comes to starting or maintaining a fitness program. “I don’t have time,” “I don’t like going to the gym,” or “I don’t have equipment.” While some of us may actually enjoy going to a gym, we all know that’s not an option at sea. And let’s face it; if you do have free time, lack of equipment Ship Shape and space can sink your workout Chris Campbell
aspirations in a heartbeat. So how do you stay in ship shape while working on a yacht? With extensive experience training yacht crews and developing “at sea” programs, I have the solution to not only keep your workout goals afloat at sea but to take your fitness and results to the next level. This routine was taken from a program designed to get maximum results in the least amount of time. You are going to push your body to the max to increase muscle strength, jumpstart your metabolism to burn fat and calories, and look and feel like you’re in
the best shape of your life. We call this type of training metabolic training, and it’s a form of interval training. You will feel an incredible burn while completing each circuit. The key is to push through the burn to finish your designated reps and sets (without breaking good form). This will force your body to adapt quickly and you’ll see faster results. Intense training of this nature is not for beginners. I recommend using this routine no more than three times a week for up to four weeks. For beginners, I suggest completing only one exercise from each group and

If you cannot complete the designated amount of reps, do as many as you can until you hit failure, and then move on. Do not rest in order to get every rep; you should reach your limit and continue on to the next exercise with almost no breaks.
How to do it
Complete each group of exercises one time, then move on to the next group. Once you have completed all groups, restart from the beginning and complete them all again for a total of three rounds. Take as little amount of rest as possible between exercises and sets (no more than 15 seconds).

Intense, powerful workout should last no more than 30 minutes Ship Shape from page C8 Lower body 1. Lunge complex Forward lunge. Start with feet together. Step forward with your right leg, dropping your left knee toward the ground. Take a big enough step to keep your knee over your ankle, thigh parallel to the ground. Return to starting position. Side lunge. Step right leg to the right, dropping your hips to the right side, keeping your left knee straight. Return to start. Crossover lunge. Step your right leg across in front to your left side, bending both knees. Return to start. All three movements with the right leg is one rep. Finish five reps, then move to the left leg. Cue: Always keep your toes pointing straight forward for each movement. 2. Stiff-legged dead lift Keeping your left foot an inch off the floor and your right leg straight. Slowly bend at your waist and try to touch your left shoelaces. Tighten your stomach to support your spine. Focus on stretching and lengthening your right leg without moving your left leg. Control and balance your body, and stand up straight for one rep. Complete all 10 standing on your right leg, then do the same on your left.
3. Deep squat burnouts Lower your hips into a squat position, about knee depth (or whatever your body will comfortably allow). Now bounce lightly and quickly on the balls of your feet. Try to get your feet off the ground about an inch. Focus on staying low. Upper body 1. Plyometric push-up From a push-up position, lower your chest to the floor, keeping your back straight. Push-up explosively, creating enough momentum to elevate your hands off the floor. Land in the push-up position and immediately repeat. 2. Rotational push-up From a push-up position, lower your chest and turn your torso to the right side while bending both elbows to 90 degrees. Keep your back straight. Extend your arms to the top of the push-up position and lower your chest to the left side, bending your elbows as before. Each side counts as one rep. Move quickly and focus on keeping your shoulders over the top of your wrists. Do not lower your shoulders below your elbows to prevent unnecessary torque. 3. Isometric push-up
Hold your push-up position with elbows at 90 degrees for the designated time, continuing to breathe. Core conditioning 1. Snow angels Lying on your stomach, lift your chest and feet off the ground about 6 inches. Spread feet and arms apart as if you were making a snow angel, then bring them back to starting position. Slowly lower to the ground and repeat. 2. Pike knee drivers In a push-up position, lift your hips high in the air, then lift your right heel high off the ground while squeezing your glutes. Keeping your back straight, bend and drive your right knee across toward your left elbow. Arms and left leg should remain straight. Lift right heel back up to above hips and repeat 20 times. Then do left leg. 3. Burpees Start with feet together, standing tall. Drop your hands to the floor and jump back with your legs to a push-up position. Lower your body to the floor (this does not have to be a perfect push-up), then raise your hips high off the ground and jump forward with your feet back to starting position. Now stand and jump up, getting
your feet at least one inch off the floor. Repeat.
Things to remember
Always keep a regular breathing rhythm throughout each exercise. It should take 7-10 minutes to complete one round of all three groups, which means the entire workout should last no more than 30 minutes. Keep this in mind and schedule to complete your workouts accordingly. If you know you’re short on time, pick two groups and complete three rounds. On your next training day, complete the third group with one of the previous two. Or do all three groups but only two rounds of each instead of three. Each week, mix up the order of the exercises within their respective groups for a new challenge. Chris Campbell is the owner of Next Level Fit Training in Ft.

Not all captains and crew prepared with legal documents, living SURVEY, from page C1 half of yacht captains have a plan for what they want to happen to their body when they die. “I have Neptune Society for myself: pre-paid pick up anywhere in the world, cremation, ashes sent where I want them, etc.,” said a captain in his late 60s who runs a yacht 80-100 feet. “I keep that card under my driver’s license, just in case. My will is current and someone knows where to find it. That is important.” More than a quarter of respondents, however, said it didn’t matter to them what happens after they die, that whatever their family chose to do with their remains would be fine with them. That left about 17 percent who haven’t thought about this part of death yet. It turns out that these are mostly the same captains who don’t have a will. All these results tell us something about the captains who answered our survey this month, and that is that most of them have at least thought about the end of their life and have made some arrangement for it. But what we really wanted to know was Do you have a plan for what the crew are to do should
you die onboard? The answer surprised us. In an industry where plans and drills are common, more than 80 percent of captains in our survey said they do not have a plan for what happens if they die onboard. “I don’t care, I’ll be dead,” said a captain in his late 40s. (To be fair, this captain has a current will and living will, so he must care at least a little.) “Well, at about that time I’m not really sure I give a damn,” said a captain in his late 60s who runs a yacht 80-100 feet. “I try to make sure that someone aboard has the skills to get the boat back to port, make radio calls, etc.” “For myself, it’s probably the best way to go, doing something I love,” said a captain in yachting more than 25 years. “For anyone else, I pray that it does not happen on board my command, but I am ready for it.” “If I die onboard you may render me unto the deep and I will commune with Neptune,” said a captain in his early 60s. “No yacht would be properly equipped to deal with this at sea,” said a captain in his early 30s in yachting more than 10 years.
“Not pleasant to think about and I hope I never put my crew in a position of dealing with it,” said a captain in yachting more than 30 years. About 15 percent of our captains said they’ve discussed the scenario with their crew, leaving about 2 percent who have included the scenario in a procedure and actually drilled on it. “There’s no ‘official’ plan in place and I don’t feel that it’s something you ‘drill’ for but if I died aboard, I would hope the crew would enter the nearest port, have my body removed from the boat and shipped home for an autopsy,” said a captain in his early 50s who has discussed the scenario with his crew. Even though most captains in our survey don’t have a plan, we were curious if they had a preference so we asked What would you like to happen next if you should unexpectedly die onboard? It should come as no surprise that many of our respondents who chose to answer this optional question opted for a maritime approach. “Quick burial at sea,” said a captain in his late 50s in yachting more than 25 years. “Adios.”

Replacement crew would continue the cruise SURVEY, from page C11 authorities and be advised of what to do with the remains. Of course, it would depend on the vessel’s location at the time of the issue. Maybe everyone say what the really thought of me and laugh a long while. We are all going to pass. Nothing to fear if you have led a proper life.” Some of our respondents left it up to the people who come after. “Call my wife,” said a captain in yachting more than 20 years. “Ship me home for my family and they will then deal with it,” said the captain of a yacht 140-160 feet in yachting more than 20 years. And there were a few who didn’t think it important to think about this type of scenario. “Does it really matter? I am dead,” said a captain in his early 50s who cruises globally. “I know that death is in the life, but no thoughts about it,” said a captain in his late 50s on a yacht 120-140 feet. Part of the reality of a captain dying while employed on a yacht is that the vessel must be manned, so we asked If something happened to you unexpectedly onboard, is someone else onboard able to take over? The largest group – two-thirds of our respondents – said their crew could
handle operations for a short time until a relief captain arrived. “Vessel would have to return to the dock,” said the captain of a yacht less than 80 feet. “The owner and mate can operate it but with me down, crew goes to one. We’re a captain/mate operation. On deliveries, it’s only the two of us. All my crew is trained in basic vessel ops but a delivery crew may not be able to make the decisions necessary to safely seek safe harbor. I need to work on this. With the owner aboard, that’s a different story. He’s a U.S. Merchant Marine Academy grad and can handle all vessel ops and decisions.” Most of the rest indicated that the vessel would operate without a hitch. “Depends on which boat I’m on,” said a captain in yachting more than 25 years. “Typically, I have at least one other person trained well enough to operate the boat and take over.” Just 8 percent said there was no one on board who could take over. We thought for sure that those were small vessels that perhaps only ran with one or two crew, but we were surprised to learn that all of the captains who said no one could take over were on yachts larger than 80 feet, and that half were on yachts larger than 120 feet. In addition to the captain dying

Although captains admitted to not having much of a plan in the event that they themselves should die onboard, they were more prepared should it happen to someone else.

this scenario with the crew. “My plan in the event someone dies onboard is to head for the nearest U.S. port,” said a captain in his early 60s on a yacht 120-140 feet. “Do not put into a foreign port if at all feasible.” Compared to planning for their own death, half as many (40 percent) said they had no plan in the event another crew member died. The amount of planning improves again when we asked What about a guest? Once again, more than half said they have discussed this scenario with the crew, and about 8 percent have a procedure that they’ve drilled on. “In running a dive boat, we had a program in place for death aboard,” said a captain in his late 50s. “I know that helped me in planning in the event someone was to die on board.” “I have had two guest deaths on board,” said a captain in yachting more than 25 years. “It’s brutal to deal with.” “We had a guest die onboard once,” said a captain in yachting more than 25 years. “The coast guard told us to bring her into port in the morning. We did and they took her off. The family chose to depart with her, the grandma. A sad trip to be sure.” Still, about 35 percent said they had
no plan, other than to use common sense. We were curious to learn if addressing the possibility of their death on the job was something captains handled alone, so we asked Have you ever had a conversation with the owner about what would happen in the event of either his/her death or your own? Most, 82 percent, had not. Even those who have, though, didn’t have much success. “This is a good topic,” said the captain of a yacht 80-100 feet who has talked about this topic with the owner. “It’s hard for a lot of people to talk about, though. I did try to get instructions on getting an aircraft into the Bahamas, but it was not acted upon. Oh well.” Have you received any training, guidance or protocols related to handling a death onboard? Most haven’t, though almost 60 percent indicated they have created their own. “Depends on location but immediate removal of guests and body using our medical service plan,” said a captain in yachting more than 15 years. “We were under instructions by the owner to keep freezer space available if an owner or guest were to die
onboard,” said a captain in yachting more than 25 years. The next largest group, 26 percent, said they learned basics in a course. “Medical courses go over procedures or there are books like Chapmans that can walk you through procedures,” said a captain in yachting more than 30 years. Other captains learned on the job, either from previous captains or by experiencing it firsthand. Just 5 percent said they have never received any training or guidance in how to handle this situation. “Haven’t thought about it,” said a captain in yachting more than 15 years, “but will work on it now.” “This survey has made me consider the problem more thoroughly,” said a captain older than 75. “Thank you.” In an effort to help others, we asked captains to share basics of how to handle a death onboard.
