Miami show undergoes big changes

By Dorie Cox February’s Miami International Boat Show (MIBS) will be held at a new location around Miami Marine Stadium, which has been closed since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

The show will be entirely different than it has been during its 75-year history. Previously, it was mostly indoors at the Miami Beach Convention Center, but this Feb. 11-16, the show will be held at Miami Marine Stadium Park on

Virginia Key in temporary structures and on temporary docks.

Concerns about exhibitor space, parking, transportation and lawsuits have been brought to the organizer’s attention. Thom Dammrich is one of the people working to allay those concerns.

He is president of National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), which owns and manages MIBS. He and Cathy Rick-Joule, vice president of the show, presented statistics and facts See MIAMI, page 8

Kymeta Corp. Vice President Hakan Olsson expects megayacht designs to feature flatpanel satellite antennas by 2017 which means domes will disappear. PHOTO/SUZETTE COOK

Goodbye dome, hello data

By Suzette Cook When he visits yachts, Matt Gerken of e3 Systems said his job is to observe captains and crew while his colleagues analyze trhe technology systems onboard.

“I’m looking around at the crew, the network and what’s happening,” Gerken said during a presentation yesterday to about 60 captains, crew and owners. e3 Systems is a communications integrator in the yacht market with a mission to connect people globally by offering bandwidth and internet management system solutions.

“We have the captain who doesn’t do everything, but is responsible for everything,” Gerken said. “The engineer has a lot of jobs. A small portion of that job ends up being the IT, the network and the engineering, and it’s typically a job they are thrown into.

“We have the crew, who unashamedly uses as much bandwidth as possible,” he continued. “I’ve been on boats as different crew members are walking around streaming Pandora, talking about how they have a movie downloading so, when they are done with their shift, they can watch it later.”

What Gerken was getting at, he said, is that the demand for yachts to provide more and more amounts of continuous bandwidth to the captain, crew as well as the guests is on the rise, even as the yacht travels around the world.

Before Gerken presented his observations, Kymeta Corp. vice president Hakan Olsson explained his part in developing a flat-panel satellite antenna solution.

The technology will be integrated into yacht design by early 2017, Olsson said. And with the backing of lead investor Bill Gates, Olsson said Kymeta Corp. is poised to “improve the appearance of yachts by getting rid of the domes.”

“The way it works,” Olsson said,”is the surface of the flat antenna has tens of thousands of pixels, just like a TV. We are addressing each of those pixels to open and close in a number of gray shades. Beneath that surface we are running the radio frequency signal. If the pixel is open, the energy comes through that pixel, and through holographic interference on the surface, it creates beams in a certain direction.

By changing which pixels are opened or closed, we actually change the beam to look at a certain direction. You can do all of the steering [of the beams] with software. There are no moving parts.”

“More importantly, we are designing it for high bandwidth application, not only for today’s iPad and phones, but also next generation navigation where you may have holographic charts,” he said. “This is no longer a lab experiment.”

DOING THE CREW THING, DAY 2: Crew compete in table top design Thirteen yachts competed in Liquid Yacht Wear’s 2015 Table Top Challenge, turning their main salons into fantasy worlds, a touch of the outdoors, or perhaps a mix of both.

First place went to M/Y Unbridled, (right) with Chief Stew Amber Briant the brains behind the “Alice in Wonderland-themed setting. Chef Micail Swindells helped to create an overhead flower spray mixed with some edible parts.

The crew won dinner for eight in Key West, with transportation provided by a private jet.

Theresa Morales, president of Liquid Yacht Wear, was impressed how many crew participated.

“What a great thing it was, everyone was really into it and had a good time,” she said. “Chefs were involved, deckhands were handing out cool towels, everyone helped.”

Second place went to the crew of M/Y Moonraker.

Third place was awarded to S/Y Grace.

An honorable mention was given to M/Y Harmony.

See more photos online at www. the-triton.com and in the days to come on Liquid Yacht Wear’s Facebook page.

M/Y Unbridled – It’s all about Alice i Wonderland with a touch of nature, from Chef Micail Swindells and Chief Stew Amber Briant. Sure, there’s a rabbit, tea pot, clock and gold nuggets made from white chocolate and gold flakes as well as the overhead garden with real artichoke strands and edible leaves.

M/Y Seven J’s – Sporting a “Never, Never Land” theme complete with crocodile-skin place mats, (above left) 2nd Stew Charlotte Fredette and Chief Stew Bethany Hodnefield also had Tinkerbell cocktails and dragonfly napkin rings.

M/Y Gravitas – 3rd Stew Siobahn Manton incorporates a fall theme, with leaves and acorns on the tables, candle light and a centerpiece of fresh flowers with fall colors and gold, orange and black place settings.

S at u rd ay • Nov. 7 , 2 0 1 5 | 5 M/Y Charisma (right)– The crew dreamed up a fantasy setting with flowers that show a transformation from caterpillar to butterfly, that appear to be flying over the table. Crew includes Stew Carmen Milton, Stew Kirsty Britz, Chief Stew Karine Lantra and Stew Michelle Adams.

M/Y Capricorn (below)– The Tree of Life is the centerpiece of this nature-themed setting

by Chief Stew Teegan Ketcher, and Deck/Stew Heather Miller (Lulu Derouen was absent for the photo). The crew are the roots that lead to flowers from each crew’s nation and gives life to the charters while water brings all together.

CHECKING THE TIDE: Triton Today’s Question of the Day Eng. Gordon Skellett M/Y No Bada Bees 127’ IAG Yachts “No, but I’ve used iPad on my personal boat.”

Chef/Stew Vicky Nicoll M/Y Calliope 76’ Lazzara “No. I’m happy without it. It’s all manual.”

Stew Lisa Gouws M/Y Impressive 125’ Northrop & Johnson “Yes. It makes life so much easier because it controls lighting, blinds, TV, everything.”

?

Does your boat have iPad technology onboard?

The Triton Today checked in with crew to find out if their boats use iPad technology.

More and more vessels are using the devices for convenience. iPads control televisions, stereos, closing the blinds and more.

Stew Kiki Mikulic M/Y Katya 151’ Delta “Yes. We use it for everything and we love it. It’s so easy.”

Eng Lasse Kynde M/Y Katya 151’ Delta “We updated it a year ago.

Guests can use it. The downside is having to do updates. “

Eng. JJ Gogas M/Y Amarula 130’ Westport “Default controller is easier to use. The user interface in simple.”

Stew Samantha Curley M/Y Polly 135’ Alloy “We use it for our TV and music.

It does what it’s supposed to do.”

S at u rd ay • Nov. 7 , 2015 | 7

Deckhand JC Lopez M/Y Aphrodite 130’ Westport “Yes. For lights, TV, music, curtains.

Every room has one.”

Eng./Mate Trevor Tyndall M/Y Audacia 49m Feadship “No, but it would be nice to see what’s going on in my pipes.

The technology coming out now is really amazing.”

Deckhand Kyle Ludwick M/Y La Pellegrina 50m Couach This yacht uses it to control things in the salon. “It’s very convenient, I must say.”

Deckhand Fred Sellers M/Y Unbridled 58m Trinity This yacht uses it to log crew information as well as the automation system for the A/V system. “It’s cool.”

Stew Courtney Wilkins M/Y Imagine 164’ Trinity “No. We have a self-sufficient device.”

Capt. Gee Bezuidenhout M/Y Octopussy 143’ Heesen “Yes. We’re using it to control everything. I prefer it high above the old Crestron system.”

Deckhand Matt McCann M/Y Apogee 63m Codecasa “I’m new to the boat, but I know we can access all the movies from it. It’s very straightforward. ”

supporting their claims that all systems were a go to 50 media representatives at a press conference at Bahia Mar on Thursday. “Ten months ago, after a two-year search, the city commission approved a license agreement for the new location at Miami Marine Stadium,� Dammrich said. “This spot has not been used for 23 years, and it has special history for everyone who has been there.�

The unfinished stadium and unpaved property add to concerns, but Dammrich said this year, the show will be better from the ground up. “The No. 1 complaint was parking and traffic congestion before,�

Dammrich said. “Now, we’ll have parking for 12,000 vehicles.�

Ten thousand of parking spots are at AmericanAirlines Arena, Marlins Stadium and locations in downtown Miami. Transportation from these locations is serviced by seven water taxi and 13 shuttle stops. Four thousand of these spots are adjacent to the show and reserved for exhibitors, vendors, contractors, valet, VIPs and staff. “We have over-planned the transportation, and there is enough for all,� Dammrich said. “Before you leave home, know your shuttle or taxi plan or prepay to park.�

The derelict, city-owned Marine Stadium was designed to view inwater shows including boat racing and concerts, but will be blocked off during the show, Rick-Joule said. “We’re working with the National Trust Historic Preservation on-site during the show to inform and fundraise,� she said. “We would love to see renovation sooner than later. People have a lot memories.�

Some people wonder if tents can hold the exhibitors that the Miami Beach Convention Center did. “The uplands is smaller compared to previous years, but our ability to accommodate is facilitated by the water,� Rick-Joule said. The basin in front of the stadium will have dock

space for 500 boats. “We even have builders who exhibited with us in the past taking the same space on the upland and adding inventory in water,� she said.

Some Virginia Key residents have filed lawsuits to fight the show, which is situated off the only road leading to their homes from the mainland. But the legal system moves slowly, and Dammrich doesn’t expect resolutions for a couple of years. Some of the concerns have been addressed. “Two of the three complaints in one of the lawsuits have been dropped,� he said.

So the show will go on. Sewer, drainage, water and electric are installed at the site, and work is under way on fiber optics in the electrical grid, Rick-Joule said.

Footers are completed on the west end for tents, and next to come are cell towers and the final clearing of land.

In December, the clear-span structures (large tents with open internal areas like the ones at FLIBS) and docks will be set up, she said. “This is going to be a great show,�

Dammrich said. “If captains have ideas about how we can enhance their experience, e-mail us. “Nothing will stop this show from happening,� he said. “This is the new home.�

How to be your best with parties

By Angela Orecchio While party season is in full swing in Ft. Lauderdale, so is the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which means its time for fun, costumes and drinks, but also long hours of work for some crew.

If you have to take off your sunglasses and greet your guests with a genuine smile the next day, here is your guide to looking and feeling fresh before, during and after the party is over.

Before the Party The better you feel before you go to the party, the less likely you will make yourself sick with alcohol. If you arrive at the party tired, hungry, thirsty or bored, the greater the chance you will drink to change how you feel.

The key to not drinking to excess is to feel your best before you go to the party.

1. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for 2-3 liters if possible.

2. Go to bed early the night before and sleep 8-10 hours.

3. Eat healthy, whole foods low in salt, and void of processed chemicals and preservatives throughout the day.

Also, have a good-sized dinner.

4. Get your blood pumping doing something fun outside or going to the gym.

5. Have a plan on how much you’re going to drink and stick to it.

6. Bring something non-alcoholic to drink with you if it helps you stick to your limit.

7. Gather smoothie materials and coconut water for the next day ‘s breakfast.

During the Party 1. Chose one alcohol that works well with you and stick with it. If you know tequila gin makes you sick, don’t drink it. Try something lighter and stick with it. Mixing drinks will make you sicker than anything.

2. Drink water in between alcoholic drinks.

3. Make sure you are feeling good at the party, otherwise you will probably

drink more.

Are you with people you don’t like very much? Is there drama going on?

Are you feeling uncomfortable? If this is the case, you will want to change your atmosphere so you are feeling good and not trying to drown your sorrows with booze.

4. Stick with your plan of how much you’ll drink, and don’t get to the point of being drunk.

5. FLIBS parties often have food, so snack on the healthiest things you can find throughout the night.

After the Party 1. Drink a few glasses of water before going to bed.

2. Get to bed at a reasonable time and make sure your room is cool, dark and quiet so that you can rest soundly.

The Next Day 1. Make sure you’ve slept enough, as this is the No. 1 requirement to heal from the previous night’s festivities.

Aim for 8-10 hours of solid sleep.

2. Drink 500-1000 mls of water as soon as you wake up, and continue to drink water throughout the day.

3. Instead of coffee (which is very dehydrating) have green tea if you need caffeine. If you can, instead have some coconut water to rehydrate and replace electrolytes.

4. If you are feeling good enough, do some light exercise, even if it’s just walking. Getting your blood pumping will help you sweat out any toxins and make your skin look brighter.

5. Have a cold shower. This will brighten your skin and alkalize your blood, which will leave you looking fresh.

6. Have a smoothie for breakfast and eat healthy throughout the day.

While the tendency is to eat greasy junk food when you are feeling tired, it will actually make you more tired by using your body’s energy to digest and deal with food it does not agree with.

Have fun and come back to smile another day.
