FATHERS AND SONS

H

OW MANY BOATERS attribute their start in the pastime to their dad, who

likely owes his start in boating to his dad? Whether it was a weekend fishing trip, a lazy loop through the harbor or a too-fast shoulder-separating teeth-rattling initial pull out of the water on waterskis, something our dad did stuck with us. Many of us owe any love of the water — and possibly our knowledge of naughty words, if there was a trailer involved — to pops. If you haven’t thanked him for that recently, I think there’s a day this month where that might be an appropriate thing to do. Yeah, I’m pretty sure.

That father-son relationship is one we see a lot in the world of boating, from simply owning a boat to making a living on a boat to cruising with the family to building boats (several boat-building companies have passed from father to son).

That dynamic is one we wanted to explore in this month’s cruising feature. Many times, our cruising stories are about long journeys to distant destinations, but this story is more compact, highlighting a weekend trip within Puget Many of us owe any Sound, covering well-traveled waters love of the water to well-known places. What makes it — and possibly special is the fact the cruise took our knowledge of place over Father’s Day weekend and the father didn’t force his naughty words, if 2015, 13-year-old son to go (as far as we there was a trailer know). It was the kind of weekend involved — to pops. fathers cherish immediately and sons cherish eventually. Check it out starting on page 20.

Beyond fathers and sons, boating is a family activity, especially during the summer months when the kids are out of school, but cruising as a family can be a challenge when everybody’s reason for being there is different: together time, imparting boating skills, because they have to be, etc. We have another feature this month that could make the family cruise a more pleasant experience for all.

Doug Thompson talked to a few folks who have had success boating as a family, usually through trial and error, and he created a primer of sorts for boating families, including tips on good habits to develop, navigation rules everyone should know, crucial safety devices and some advice about how to handle the social-media-aboard conundrum. If you’re planning extended time aboard with the family this summer, check out the story on page 48.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Here’s hoping you get family time on the boat this year.

LEAD BOAT BD56

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS The hybrid BD56 is a motorsailer that delivers smooth sailing and as-needed outboard power.

8 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

IF YOU READ the subheading of this story, you’re probably still scratching your head about the second-to-last word: outboard.

You read it correctly. This 54-foot hybrid crossover yacht from Spanish yacht builder BD Yachts uses outboard power when it’s not under sail. We’re not talking a small kicker to putter through the harbor. While the BD56 was designed to satisfy sailors with a racer’s heart, BD Yachts recognized the need for more speed, so the yacht can accommodate twin 300 hp outboards that can push it to 21 knots, if there’s a storm to outrun or an island happy hour to make.

The lines of the yacht, the mast, the twin aft helm stations, the keel (retractable to lessen draft by almost five feet), they all point to sailboat. But the raised superstructure, surrounded on all sides by tinted glass, hints at its powerboat side without affecting the streamlined look at all. In fact, the salon — with an all-around view, a settee to port, and a dinette and galley to starboard — is on the same level as the cockpit, to facilitate a party that stretches from swimstep to galley.

Belowdecks are three staterooms with en suite heads (a two-stateroom, lower “salon” layout is available). The master is situated forward and features hull windows that extend nearly to the waterline, for a great view.

A huge overhead sunroof on the superstructure combines with the glass all around to create an outdoors feel in the salon and contribute to the overall cool factor.

Lost and Found ACCORDING TO NOAA’S National Ocean Service, maritime law dictates fl otsam may be claimed by the original owner, whereas jetsam may be claimed as property of whoever discovers it. Flotsam is defi ned as debris in the water that was not deliberately thrown overboard, often the result of a shipwreck or accident. Jetsam describes debris that was deliberately thrown overboard by a crew in distress, most likely to lighten the ship’s load. The word “fl otsam” derives from the French word floter or “to fl oat.”

Jetsam is a shortened word for jettison. Fun fact: The two evil moray eels in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” were named Flotsam and Jetsam.

Historical Ship Restored THE SCHOONER C. A. Thayer was launched in 1895 and served as a lumber schooner up and down the West Coast.

After retiring from hauling lumber, she headed north to be used in the Alaska salmon fi shing industry and later in the Washington cod fi shing industry. She is the last survivor of a fl eet of steam and sailing schooners used in West Coast lumber trade. After years of neglect and disrepair, C. A. Thayer just completed a major restoration at the hands of the folks at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. They have put new masts up and plan to add rigging and sails with an eye toward sailing C. A. Thayer again in the future.

The interior of the BD56 motorsailer is finished like a power yacht, and the vessel includes twin hidden 300 hp outboard motors to facilitate quick passage when it is called for.

Stay Cool Under Fire ACCORDING TO THE U.S.

Coast Guard, these are the steps to follow if your vessel catches fire:

ShareAFishingCharter.com posted a list of five fish worth traveling for.

1. TARPON can be found in the coastal waters around the world, with species living near eastern Africa, Tahiti, the Gulf of Mexico and around the backwaters of Florida.

3

2. A remote location in Africa. A fish named Goliath. A mouth full of 32 teeth that have been described as great white shark teeth. That’s the GOLIATH TIGERFISH. These fearsome fish — called the greatest freshwater gamefish in the world — can only be found in the Congo River basin in Africa.

3. STEELHEAD TROUT are the unicorns of the trout family.

Called the fish of 1,000 casts, steelhead are known for their impressive fight to shake the hook. Their spawning season is during the most harsh times of the year, adding to the difficulty of catching one.

4. GROUPERS aren’t known for their legendary ferocity, but they are known for their deliciousness and giant size — up to about 800 pounds — especially the Atlantic goliath grouper, which are found in shallow tropical waters around the world.

5. SAILFISH are designed for speed and beauty and earn their name from the dorsal fin that sticks up like a sail when they’re excited. They are fierce fighters found in warmer ocean waters around the globe and can swim up to 68 mph.

• Find the fire and determine its size.

• Inform all passengers, move them away from the fire and get them into their life jackets, prepared to abandon ship. Make a distress call to the U.S. Coast Guard and nearby vessels.

• Restrict the fire by closing the hatches, ports, etc., to reduce the air supply to the fire. Shut off the power to electrical systems in affected space. Close off fuel/gas lines and ventilation. Maneuver the vessel to put the fire downwind and minimize the wind’s effect in spreading the fire.

• Extinguish the fire by quickly determining the class of fire, appropriate equipment, extinguishing agent and method of attack. Try to put the fire out with whatever you determine is appropriate (e.g., the extinguisher, fire blanket, buckets). Activate any built-in fire-suppression systems, first ensuring that all passengers have been evacuated from the fire area. Cancel any mayday if assistance is no longer needed.

DID YOU KNOW?

The term “slush fund” came about in the mid-19th century when a ship’s cook might skim the fat and grease — the slush — off the surface of a pot when boiling salted meat. When ships returned to port, the ship would sell the excess fat to candle makers to make some extra cash — a slush fund.

Paddling in High Spirits

CANOES HAVE BEEN developed over the

course of thousands of years by the native peoples of North America. In the past few decades, a cultural revival of sorts has occurred, with canoe building and Canoe Journeys — almost annual affairs in the Northwest since 1993 — at the center.

Several regional groups, including many First Nations tribes of the Pacific Northwest, have taken up the activities with one cause in mind: to preserve native heritage and culture. The movement has grown into a support network, too, with the Canoe Journeys being alcohol- and drug-free events that also aim to prevent suicide by offering personal and spiritual recovery. This year’s Canoe Journey, the Paddle to Nisqually, takes place in late July. (paddletonisqually.com) SEAMAGAZINE.COM 11

CHOICES, CHOICES

FOUR GOOD ROUTES TAKE CRUISING BOATERS FROM SOUTH BAJA TO BANDERAS BAY.

T

HE OWNERS AND skippers of 14 powerboats preparing for Mexico last fall were at San Diego Yacht Club discussing how best to cross from La Paz in southern Baja to Banderas Bay on the mainland near Puerto Vallarta, in January. It’s an open-ocean passage of 270 to 420 nautical miles, depending on your route.

After lively discussions, they agreed on one thing. There is no single best route from point A to point B. That’s because significant variables include: • Each boat’s passagemaking capabilities (mostly fuel range, but also sea kindliness) • The immediate offshore weather conditions that determine a comfortable boat speed • The crew’s ability to stand a proper watch for 30 to 48 hours Here are four different route plans for crossing from southern Baja to reach Banderas Bay on the mainland.

18 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

ONE

Leave from La Paz, and after clearing the San Lorenzo Channel head offshore eastbound for about 135 miles to the entrance to Bahia Altata. If you make a slip reservation at the threeyear-old Marina Isla Cortes, a pilot panga will meet you (call on VHF) outside the bay’s breaker-clad entrance and guide you 15 miles to the marina and fuel dock. Top off with diesel and fresh shrimp.

From Altata, it’s about 120 coastal miles southeast to Mazatlan’s marina district, where you can get a slip and

Cabo San Lucas

fuel. Ninety miles farther on is the anchorage off tiny, remote Isla Isabela, the famous frigate refuge. You can visit the frigates and blue-footed boobies ashore. From Isabela, it’s 50 miles to San Blas harbor, if a slip and fuel are needed, or Matanchen Bay anchorage is only six miles farther.

From San Blas it’s 50 miles south to Punta Mita at the entrance to Banderas Bay. However, after San Blas/ Matanchen, if you’d like to check out the popular gunkhole stops at Chacala and Jaltemba, add about 10 miles.

Total mileage is 445 to 455 miles, but only about 135 of them are offshore.

Pros: This route has the shortest offshore leg, lots of mainland cruising, three potential fuel stops, a choice of marinas at Mazatlan and a possible overnight rest stop at the frigate refuge.

Cons: Don’t absolutely count on overnighting at Isla Isabela; the few good anchoring spots may be taken, or rough seas could make them untenable. At sunset and sunrise, San Blas harbor has mosquitoes and biting

Mexico gnats called no-see-ums. If you don’t need fuel at San Blas, consider anchoring at Matanchen Bay nearby.

TWO

Leave from La Paz and the San Lorenzo Channel, but turn south through caption tk the Cerralvo Channel, then lay a direct course offshore to Mazatlan (about 240 miles). If the north wind is too strong to start your passage across the Sea of Cortez, duck into Bahia de los Muertos anchorage (no fuel), which adds about 16 miles to the Mazatlan leg.

At Mazatlan (190 offshore miles), spend a few days in the marina district where it’s easy to get a slip, provisions and fuel, and then aim south 90 miles to the fair-weather anchorages at Isla Isabela, the frigate refuge. From Isabela, it’s about 60 miles to Punta Mita at the entrance to Banderas Bay. Your mileage may vary, but figure about 390 to 405 miles.

Pros: This route has a north-wind escape clause on the Baja side, about 190 offshore miles, fuel and several marinas at the mainland landfall, and a possible rest stop at the frigate refuge.

Cons: Don’t absolutely count on overnighting at Isla Isabela; the few good anchoring spots may be taken, or rough seas could make them untenable.

THREE

Leave from La Paz via the San Lorenzo Channel and turn south in the Cerralvo Channel, but this time continue down around East Cape to anchor at Los Frailes (95 miles), just south of Cabo Pulmo National Underwater Park. Snorkeling and scuba diving in the park are worth the time.

From Cabo Los Frailes, the offshore crossing is 165 miles east to Mazatlan, where you can get a marina slip, provisions and fuel. From Mazatlan, Punta Mita is a straight shot of about 160 miles. But en route, the tiny frigate refuge on Isla Isabela is 90 miles south from Mazatlan, so check it out, if you

Four different routes leave from southern Baja and cross the southern Sea of Cortez to the mainland, to arrive at Punta Mita in the entrance to Banderas Bay. Each route (different colors) has its pros and cons.

can. After Isabela, another optional side route turns coastal again and lets you to visit the popular gunkhole anchorages at Chacala and Jaltemba, adding about 20 miles to this leg. Total distance is about 420 to 440 miles, with 165 of them offshore.

Pros: This route takes in two national parks and includes a fuel and marina stop at the mainland landfall before lots of coastal cruising.

Cons: See Route Two’s cons.

FOUR

Leave southern Baja from San Jose del Cabo (marinas, fuel) and head southwest offshore 195 miles to a safe waypoint 20 miles southwest of the prison colony at Las Marias Islands. My GPS waypoint 20 miles southwest of Maria Magdalena was 21 degrees 10.190 minutes north, 106 degrees 97.310 minutes west. Ten miles farther, my GPS waypoint 20 miles southwest of Maria Cleofa was 20 degrees 59.439 minutes north, 106 degrees 27.245 minutes west. After that, turn about 10 degrees to starboard and head a course for Punta Mita. Total offshore distance is about 270 miles.

Pros: This is the shortest overall distance from Baja to Punta Mita.

Cons: Boaters must navigate accurately to avoid drifting into the perimeter of the prison islands, where armed patrol boats take their job seriously.

PAST PUNTA MITA

In winter cruising season, you can usually anchor under the lee of Punta Mita. But if you’re ready for the comforts of a marina, 10 miles east is La Cruz and Marina Riviera Nayarit. Six miles farther are Nuevo Vallarta Inlet’s two marinas: Marina Paradise Village and Marina Nuevo Vallarta. Four final miles — about 20 miles from Punta Mita — bring one to Marina Vallarta inside Puerto Vallarta’s municipal harbor.

ATHER’S DAY WEEKEND 2015. Mariah is

moving at four to five knots under the asymmetrical spinnaker. The autopilot hums. The day is unusually pleasant and sunny for June. A thin veil of white clouds rests atop snowcapped Mt. Rainier off the port bow, and scenic Vashon Island passes by to starboard. The crew — my 13-year-old son Dylan and our 13-pound lapdog Lila —nap quietly below on the setteeturned-bed. Sailing and personal moments like these are rare indeed, and I am sure to soak it all in.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM 21

Downtown Seattle at night can make one appreciate life’s modern conveniences and the solitude of cruising past on a boat.

Sailing in the Northwest is subject to Murphy’s Law, where the wind is either too light or from the wrong direction. Murphy was surely asleep this weekend, or maybe he was conspiring with the “powers that be” to allow a perfect Father’s Day sailing weekend.

A FATHER’S REQUEST

ish with less guilt. My wife and daughter were out of town that weekend, so Dylan was willing to make it a fatherson sailing weekend. He surprised me by agreeing without complaint — I think because he knew how important the weekend was to me. My Father’s Day wish was to spend the weekend with my favorite (and only) son doing my favorite activity: sailing.

DEPARTING FREMONT

After loading Mariah with food, clothes and a fluffy little dog, we departed the Fremont dock around 7 p.m. Friday night. We had to wait for the Fremont bridge to raise to clear the way for our 44-foot mast, but we are able to just clear the Ballard Bridge as we passed through the ship canal west toward the Ballard Locks. The attendants can be grumpy if transiting boat crews are not on their game, so I was proud of how well Dylan calmly followed their instructions. The locks lowered Mariah into Puget Sound, and luckily the train bridge was in its upright resting position, allowing us to ride the current of fresh water exiting the locks into the salty sound.

DUSK PASSAGE TO BLAKE ISLAND

We motored south past Discovery Park and Elliott Bay and watched the downtown Seattle waterfront light up as 22 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

ing on the various rocky and sandy beaches. A small marina on the east side has visitor docks, a park, tent camping, bathrooms, showers and a modern longhouse where Argosy Cruises runs a daytime cruise that includes a salmon bake and a Native American stage performance.

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS

dusk approached. My attempts at sailing were useless in the light southerly wind, so I resigned myself to motoring to our evening destination, Blake Island. I let Dylan and Lila lounge in the cabin below as it got dark. Dylan had a good book, and Lila had Dylan to snuggle up to. The advantage of a 32-foot sailboat is that I can singlehand it through most situations. So, as we approached the moorings on the north end of Blake Island in the dark, I could easily — OK, with a little effort — snag the line and secure Mariah for the evening. We settled down for bed after our 10:30 p.m. arrival. All was good in the world.

BLAKE ISLAND

Blake Island is a popular state park located a mere 4 miles from West Seattle. It offers views of downtown Seattle and Mt. Rainier. The majority of the island is lush and wild, and a lovely hiking trail circles it, touch-

Saturday morning started with my favorite weekend culinary experience: cooking a hearty breakfast, which is all the better aboard Mariah. I like to start with a poor-man’s mocha of hot chocolate, instant coffee (which I think is illegal in Seattle) and loads of whipped cream. Then we move on to oatmeal-infused pancakes topped with a pile of chopped apples and nuts, drizzled with real maple syrup and topped with a dab of whipped cream, just for looks. I call it the Diabetes Special. To be fair, I eat two over-easy eggs to get some protein. Dylan is more of a traditionalist, preferring plain pancakes and Log Cabin syrup. Go figure.

BLAKE ISLAND TO GIG HARBOR

After breakfast, we motored about 1 mile to the northwest corner of Blake Island, where we intended to spend the night, and dropped the hook. Lila was anxious to heed nature’s call, so we rowed ashore to explore the beach.

I enjoy feeling sand between my toes — the soft white kind above the high-

tide mark and the cool damp kind at low tide. A small Kenmore Air floatplane landed on the water and taxied to a nearby beach where the pilot had a chat with someone from the beach and then turned to take off again — such a Northwest experience. Lila enjoyed the surroundings, running up and down the beach and sniffing and marking key spots.

As noon approached, I could tell the north wind was beginning to build, and I was feeling the itch to set sail, so I gave Dylan the choice: hike around Blake Island or sail on to Gig Harbor.

He chose to sail to Gig Harbor — less because he loves sailing than because he is not a fan of hiking. I clearly stacked the deck.

We pulled anchor at about noon and headed south around the east side of Vashon Island. Mariah was eventually cruising at hull speed under spinnaker. Dylan and Lila alternated between relaxing and napping below in the cabin. I doused the spinnaker as we rounded the southeast corner of Vashon Island and continued on a lovely beam reach aiming toward the narrow entrance to Gig Harbor. The wind and currents piped up in our favor, and Mariah touched nine knots as we reached the harbor entrance. It was a thrilling ride!

DINNER AND A MOVIE

public dock is often full, but I prefer to anchor out in the well-protected bay anyway. After dropping the hook, Dylan and I rowed ashore to walk Lila along Harborview Drive. Dylan wasn’t much interested in the local shops and eateries, so stretched our legs, walked Lila along the harbor’s edge and explored the many waterside parks.

Lila was in dog heaven. We strolled

by Tide’s Tavern on the bay, which has its own visitor’s dock and a reputation for great food and live music. A brief row returned us to Mariah where we grilled some burgers (Dylan’s favorite) for dinner and watched the colors of the sunset against Mt. Rainier. After dark, we settled down to Dylan’s favorite DVD, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” Dylan appreciated the Monty Python humor for the umpteenth time, Lila was thankful for the cuddle time and I welcomed the quality time with Dylan while at anchor. It was a win-win.

RETURN SAIL

Sunday morning dawned as another spectacular day. We had a long trip home, so after taking Lila ashore to do her business, I pulled anchor and set us off on an early start. Soon after we departed Gig Harbor, a light southerly morning breeze kicked up, so up went with the asymmetrical spinnaker again. Murphy was asleep at the wheel for a second consecutive day; Father’s Day weekend continued to be blessed.

The advantage of a pilothouse with a galley-up configuration is that I can keep watch and produce some great meals at the same time, so Father’s Day brunch was composed of hash browns,

24 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

eggs with grilled onions, mushrooms and a little sour cream. Dylan was content with just hash browns, but I enjoyed the full meal and washed it down with another poor man’s mocha.

Sailing between the west side of Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula, we enjoyed great views of the waterfront homes — from small, rustic summer cabins to palatial estates and everything in-between.

Our southerly wind died in time for our approach to Blake Island, where we tied to a mooring off the south beach adjacent to the marina. Dylan, Lila and I went ashore around noon for a walk on the beach among the coarse sand, boulders, driftwood and logs.

Dylan and I competed to see who could walk the farthest by jumping from log to log and, of course, Dylan’s superior balance won the day. Lila’s small legs and fearful outlook didn’t stand a chance. It was a pleasant beach stroll that broke up the long trip home.

From Blake Island, we motored back across Elliott Bay, around Discovery Park and back through the Ballard Locks without incident. Crew and vessel were once again safe at our Fremont slip and anxious to return to the comforts of home.

Looking back at that weekend with Dylan and Lila aboard Mariah fills me with warm memories. It was important to me to share my love of sailing with my son. I have learned to accept that Dylan prefers computer games in the privacy of his bedroom to interacting with his parents, but I really appreciate that he was willing to make my Father’s Day wish come true.

UPGRADE YOUR REFRIGERATION

BY JOHN TEMPLE

P

ROBABLY 20 YEARS ago, we replaced the built-in refrigerator on our Carver 390. Our hope was to get more internal volume and to keep items fully frozen under 20 degrees. After much research, we chose a Sea Freeze model. It fit perfectly in the old spot. It had 20 percent more space and the freezer got close to zero degrees. However, it was a pain to defrost. It took hours. We put everything from the freezer into a cooler while putting steaming water in the freezer and using a hair dryer on the refrigerator coils.

Being a nerd for this type of stuff, I got really excited when I met with Sea Freeze of America’s president, David Lehman, at the Seattle Boat Show recently. I was looking

26 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

for the latest in boat refrigeration and discovered Sea Freeze has manufactured a freezer with a defroster built in. The defroster runs at 60 watts for 12 to 15 minutes. Now, owners can quickly defrost at a time when they want to, such as when they are getting additional power, so it won’t run down the batteries. The unit also has a temperature-controlled fan option that will circulate cool air in the refrigerator, to keep food more consistently cool while using less power. Most refrigerators simply run on timed cycles, so opening the door just warms the contents, and no sensor is there to start the cooling process to make up for it.

I sold custom-designed yachts for years, and we always discussed refrig-

THEEXPERTS eration. Since the yachts were large enough, clients would choose full-size home-type refrigerators by manufacturers such as GE or SubZero. The good news is they had defrosters; the bad news is that they ran fairly often and consumed a large amount of power, barely allowing overnight anchoring without running the genset.

I was selling 60-footers, so they were not so big that you always needed to run generators, and the owners still wanted to have the generators off at night to avoid noise and vibration. Sea Freeze will put custom units in yachts; now, even larger yachts can get a day or two without running the genset (and while I’ve mentioned Sea Freeze here, many manufacturers have similar units).

So if you are looking to upgrade to a quiet, frost-freeing, efficient, external compressor refrigerator (for added space inside and serviceability) that will keep ice cream and other goods totally frozen, upgrade your model.

GRINDING GRID’S GEARS

BE WARRANTY WARY IT SEEMS TO me that a warranty is a lot like a flu shot: it’s a crapshoot. You really don’t know or understand the contents; it stands as much chance of failing you as it does helping you; if it helps you, it’s nearly always at a cost to you; and if it fails you, you become very, very ill.

We needed light bulbs, so on the last trip to the big-box store an hour away, I purchased some bulbs that indicated lifetime warranty.

The price wasn’t much different from those not advertising a warranty, so I got several two-packs. Feeling particularly lazy, I let The Nurse drive home while I studied the warranty. In essence it said, “If this product ever fails, return it to the manufacturer for full refund or replacement.”

A warranty for a $30,000 outboard says much the same as the $2 light bulb, but return it to the dealer for examination and repair. It can’t have been used commercially if the purchase was designated as pleasure; it can’t have been used in competition; it had to have been used within the guidelines of the owner’s manual. Does further examination of the warranty show a declining coverage warranty? If the common-metal shift shaft has rusted from the thickness of a pencil to the thinness of a pencil lead, then breaks in forward gear, during the warranty period, is that shaft, including the powerhead and gear-

case removal, covered, or is solely the shaft covered, but as a percentage of the new cost? Does saltwater use negate any responsibility of the manufacturer? For instance, does a block casting that disintegrates in salt water become covered by an extended warranty if the problem shows up in all those specific engines well after the warranty has expired, regardless of hours operated?

The main catch-all is this: You follow the designated rules, they’ll cover repairs for a specific time if the problem is their fault. A powerhead that melts because the gauge never indicated it was overheating might be covered, whereas the same engine wouldn’t be covered because the water pump failed because you ran the engine through the Sargasso Sea and ignored the monitor warnings.

Does it behoove you to file warranty claims for even the littlest things?

Absolutely. Let’s say the manufacturer thinks it’s produced a near-perfect product. In the field, though, a little fuse blows every 50 hours of operation. You replace the fuse — what is it, $1? — and go about your business.

Lot cheaper than hauling the thing to the dealer. A week out of warranty, your engine refuses to start because there’s no spark. The problem is traced to a $2,000 ECU, which is now not covered by warranty. Every 50 hours the ECU was resetting a function that accidentally grounded the system, shorting the fuse. Nobody in the entire U.S. reported the problem, so the manufacturer assumed there was no problem! You actually help the manufacturer by being a pain in the patoot.

Warranties are presented in a variety of ways: short term for specific applications that create undue wear; declining over a given period of years; same-level extended coverage; manufacturer’s extended coverage at “no charge”; third-party coverage for a charge, or not. Know what you have before you leave the dealer. Feel comfortable that the dealer understands his responsibility as well as yours.

RESUSCITATE AN OUTBOARD

BY DEANE HISLOP

Once in every boater’s life it’s likely to happen. It happened to me a year ago when I watched our dinghy’s 8 hp outboard motor disappear below the water’s surface. My heart pumped

wildly as I panicked and had visions of spending hundreds of dollars on repairs or, even worse, purchasing a new outboard. In reality, a disaster it was not. Resuscitating a drowning outboard motor, whether it’s a two- or four-stroke, from a dunking in fresh or salt water isn’t as difficult as most people might believe.

Small outboards, 15 hp and less in

SEAMAGAZINE.COM 29

THEEXPERTS size, are the most likely candidates to find the seafloor. They are portable, often stored on the mothership until needed and then manhandled to be installed on the dinghy. Regardless how the motor ends up in the drink, quick action is imperative.

If the outboard goes into salt water, the first step is to hose it off with fresh water, at a minimum, to remove all the salt. Even better than fresh water is a product called Salt-Away (saltaway products.com), an acidic solution that comes with a small injector system that is attached to a garden hose. The mild acidic water solution will remove salt and other minerals.

Next, drain the carburetor or vapor separator in fuel-injected engines. Pull the spark plugs, drain the cylinders and spray an entire can of fogging oil in the cylinders, rotating the crankshaft to save the pistons’ chambers. Install a new set of spark plugs, change the oil and filter on a four-stroke, add fresh

gas and get the engine started. On a two-stroke outboard, run a rich gas/oil mix such as that used during break-in, which will add additional lubrication.

The richer mix will smoke and foul your plugs, but your objective is to save the engine, not preserve relatively inexpensive spark plugs. The objective is to get the engine up to operating temperature to bake out any moisture. For the first few minutes, connect the SaltAway injection system to the engine’s cooling muffs, to remove any salt and minerals in the cooling system. Run the outboard for an extended period of a couple hours.

Now start working on the other parts of the outboard. If the engine has a starter motor, it’s crucial to remove it and take it apart for cleaning — and rebuild as necessary. Clean and apply dielectric grease to electrical connections. The main wiring harness may need to be replaced in time.

There are a few manual lubrica-

Firstclass Davits Made in the USA

tion points on outboards, usually in the controls, steering linkage and tilt hinges. Check your user manual for details and use the recommended lubricant. Finally, wax the engine cover and lower unit to protect it and keep it looking new.

But what about the boater who finds himself on the remote northern coast of Canada or down the Baja peninsula and is not able to work on it immediately?

The first thing is to rinse the motor with as much fresh water as possible. At this point, the air is your motor’s numberone enemy, so fill the engine cylinders with oil or diesel fuel and rub down the outside with oil, so nothing is directly exposed. Any oil, even cooking oil, is better than no oil at all; you just don’t want dry metal parts to rust. Then wrap the motor in trash bags and stow it until it can be worked on.

I’m happy to report that my two-stroke outboard is running strong a year later.

AQUILA 44

A NEWLY REFRESHED COOL CAT ARRIVES ON THE WEST COAST.

C

ATAMARANS ARE COOL. Yes, they’re beamier and taller than the boats

many of us are used to, and they move differently in a seaway, but they’re also fast, economical and stable. Sailing cats paved the way for the acceptance of power cats, and models are only getting better — especially when builders listen to boaters and incorporate their feedback.

Such is the story with the Aquila 44 (pronounced like tequila without the T), which benefits from charter use. When MarineMax wanted to delve into powerboat chartering in the Caribbean, it called on Chinese builder Sino Eagle for the first model, a 38-footer based on a Leopard design and drawn by Morrelli & Melvin of California.

32 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

As the business model proved successful and more charter clients opted for power, MarineMax expanded the line by partnering with J&J Design of Slovenia, a duo of brothers who have launched more than 60,000 hulls around the globe.

The next two models were designed as powerboats right out of the box.

With the three companies collabo-

rating, the next in the series was the 48, followed by the Aquila 44, which has since benefited from real-life use. I had the pleasure of testing hull #19 — the first one of the refreshed models to arrive on the West Coast — with San Diego MarineMax dealer Peter Zaleski.

INNOVATIVE TOPSIDES

Incorporating charter company feedback, MarineMax made significant modifications forward and aft to launch an improved version of the boat. Cockpit seating changed from a straight transom seat to a U-shaped dinette that extends farther aft. The stainless steel hinging davits were replaced by two fixed composite arms to hoist the tender via an electric winch.

Forward, the bow sports nearly

four-foot bulbs below the waterline; they traditionally have been associated with large, commercial vessels and are designed to increase speed, stability and fuel efficiency. Much thought went into these bulbs, which are filled with foam to add buoyancy. Because traditional torpedo bulbs tend to add noise when going to weather, the builder made the appendages slightly V-shaped so they would part the water. Soft chines and spray rails also deflect waves, so water is not tossed onto the foredeck.

The Aquila 44 is a tall boat, but windows in the hull and cabin house and black paint detailing add a trompe l’oeil effect that cuts the expanse of white fiberglass. It helps the boat look more in proportion despite its high hulls and tall flybridge.

And what a flybridge it is. Stairs to

starboard lead from the cockpit up to the helm and a second gathering spot. The bridge is protected by an optional hardtop that can support (also optional) solar panels and/or a full enclosure that is designed at the factory and fitted at the point of delivery. The free-standing command

The wide beam on a power cat really opens up the social spaces for entertaining, from the flybridge all the way through the main cabin.

Input from charter customers has led to many of the features in the refreshed version of the Aquila 44.

pod is on the centerline and includes a full complement of electronics, including a Raymarine eSeries chartplotter, an I70 instrument panel, autopilot control, a VHF, engine throttles, switches and gauges.

Sightlines forward are good and there is a backup camera, since the U-shaped lounge obscures visibility aft, like on most flybridges.

The helm seat is part of the L-shaped settee that wraps around from port. There is a lounge to starboard. Our test boat featured the optional galley module that is conveniently situated between the helm seat and the dinette. The overall size of the area and the 360-degree views will make this a favorite spot aboard.

But wait, there’s more.

A signature feature of the Aquila line is a stairway that leads down from the flybridge directly to the bow ahead. If assistance is needed while anchoring, there is no need for helpers to run down to the cockpit and back up the sidedecks.

They simply walk through the gate 34 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

cut into the front of the flybridge’s reverse windshield and descend the front steps while hanging onto the nifty handrail. Now that’s clever and convenient.

I especially liked the two sidedeck cleats for spring lines and the two corner bow seats that are reminiscent of sailing cats. Given that the anchor

outside are one, and the galley is a convenient place from which to serve guests in both locations.

Any chef would be happy in this kitchen. Not only are the views in all directions excellent, so there’s no feeling of being buried in the hull, but everything is at hand. A dual-burner Kenyon cooktop stove sits below the microwave, and an additional storage tub with a drain is cut into the Corian countertop next to the twin sinks. Two Isotherm refrigerator drawers are to starboard just a step away. Storage is excellent in overhead cubbies, below-sink cabinets and a very large bin under the sole. No provisions will have to be left behind.

The salon has a large U-shaped dinette to port that wraps around a large table, which can be fixed or high/low (optional), so it can lower to become a coffee table or an extra double berth. To starboard, our test boat had a line of cabinetry that can house a pop-up TV. Optional configurations leave this side open for free-standing chairs or an inside helm station.

ACCOMMODATIONS

All the way forward and a couple of steps down is the raised master stateroom. A centerline bed dominates the cabin, while two overhead hatches and small, oblong, fixed side windows make it quite bright and open. A few steps down to the

SOCIAL SPACES

Aquila redefines indoor/outdoor living, starting with the twin stools positioned near the aft glass door.

The window between the cockpit and the galley swings up and a small backsplash folds down to create a bar counter. Suddenly, the inside and

forward port hull bring you to the head, which includes a separate stall shower, a freshwater macerating head and good headroom.

On our test boat, the same area on starboard housed a well-designed office with plenty of storage for anyone who needs to work aboard.

This side can also be finished with a small settee to create a reading nook or for a kid to sleep near mom and dad. Per Zaleski, one owner even

requested a gym be added here.

Aquila isn’t the only brand to offer a full-beam forward stateroom, but it does it very well. Because the 21-foot, 6-inch beam is carried almost all the way forward, there are very few tradeoffs in the posh owner’s suite.

Two more cabins are in the middle of each hull, reachable via steps from between the salon and galley. The cabins are not identical. The starboard side has a bit more storage and

a differently shaped bed than the one to port. Two en suite heads with separate shower stalls are aft, and both cabins have overhead hatches and small opening ports for when the air conditioning is not used.

Zaleski and I headed to San Diego Bay and out onto the disappointingly calm waters of the Pacific. I was hoping to test the boat in a little rough water to see how the cat performed to weather. To the joy of the five other people aboard, there was very little swell and wind chop.

At wide-open throttle, we sped along at just a hair over 21 knots at 3500 rpm, burning a bit over 30 gph. At 2000 rpm, we settled into a comfortable cruising speed of 9.6 knots, which yielded a 6.7 gph fuel burn. Not dragging a heavy keel through the water allows this kind of dual performance and provides a range of 300 to 400 nautical miles at 9 to 10 knots. Of course, speed cut that in half.

The steering was stiff and the turns were arcing and wide at speed.

apart that spinning, backing and tight-quarters maneuvering are easy — nay, fun.

The bow bulbs make a significant difference, especially at top speeds, due to the extended waterline that gained 42 inches. (On company-performed tests of a 225 hp vessel, the bulbs reportedly added up to seven knots at top speed over the predecessor.) Chances are that pitching will be greatly reduced, since the boat is longer and adds significant buoyancy at the front.

The gullwing between the hulls dips low to the water to accommodate the forward stateroom. Our conditions were not such that we could really assess what kind of slamming this boat would do when clawing uphill against wind and waves.

GAINING POPULARITY

The southeastern U.S. has embraced power cats fully, while the West Coast is still getting used to the newfangled designs for which it can be difficult to find a berth. But cats have many unique advantages: more room in less length, comfortable accommodations, smaller fuel-sipping engines than comparably sized monohulls, easy docking and maneuvering, more protection from the elements due to their deck layout, and in some cases, less discomfort for folks prone to mal de mer. Oh, and let’s not forget, peaceful sleeping in rolly anchorages without the need for stabilization.

As Zaleski noted, many of his customers hail from Nevada and Arizona, and they can hardly beat the deal of a three-bedroom, threebath condo on the water for less than $1 million. Others will appreciate the dual performance of high speed when they want to get there quickly and long-range coastal cruising when it’s all about the journey.

REGAL 42 SPORT COUPE

FEATURES FOR EVERYDAY COMFORT AND VERSATILITY MAKE THIS COUPE STAND OUT.

T

HE TRICK TO enjoying success in a niche that’s filling up with competition is to give potential buyers a reason to remember one product over the others. Accomplishing that comes down to memorable features, but where does a boat builder start? Technology? Hull colors? Windows?

Propulsion? Yes, to all of those. Regal, with its 42 Sport Coupe, has hit upon another category: The Everyday. And by that I don’t mean drab and run of the mill.

I wasn’t there during the design phase, so I can’t say for sure this conversation happened, but I have to imagine it went something like this. “What are people going to do on this boat?” “Cruise the harbor, head to the islands, spend the weekend in a marina.” “Then let’s wow them in the social and living spaces — the spaces our owners are going to enjoy every day.” And that’s what Regal did, aft, middle and fore.

EVERYDAY & MORE

The feature I noticed first during my walk-around of the boat was the enclosure. Many express boats or sport coupes use only canvas to enclose 38 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

things, which works, because owners want the boat to be open when they’re running it and zipped up when it’s in the slip. Regal gives owners the option, which our boat had, of a glass enclosure. It consists of a three-panel window to port that slides open, a door in the middle and a full-height glass panel to starboard, which is where the door slides open and secures behind. When the door and windows are open, the main deck is one unbroken space from the sun lounge to the helm. The enclosure’s frames are stainless and the glass is tinted, to add some cool factor.

Passengers will find port and star-

board access to the cockpit, up a couple of steps from the swim platform, where, depending on the chosen layout, there is room for up to eight people to sit, on a bench settee against the bulkhead, on a settee to starboard and on the forward section of the sun lounge. Our test boat had the optional ice-maker and electric grill console in place of the starboard settee, so seating was lessened but entertainment potential was increased. Owners know how they’ll use their boat, so it’s buyer’s choice. The aft cockpit will definitely be a gathering spot, given its seating capacity, its proximity and access to the main cabin, and the sun lounge — an expanse of cushioned versatility that serves as seat, chaise and bed. An adjustable cushion on stainless steel arms serves as a backrest for forward-facing seats, a backrest for a rear-facing lounge, and a tilted pillow or a lay-flat headrest for the full sun lounge. It shifts manually between all these positions in seconds.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM 39

On the 42SC, the cockpit is going to be the social center, especially since the sun lounge is large and versatile, two-thirds of the glass enclosure opens and the hardtop opens to allow in fresh air and sunshine.

Through the door of the enclosure is the forward half of the cockpit, which includes a doublewide seat at the helm station (twin Garmin 7612 MFDs in a glass bridge, engine gauges and displays, a Garmin VHF, engine throttles and joystick, Fusion stereo and more), a dinette with a settee for four to port, a day galley that can be outfitted with a sink, a refrigerator, an electric grill and more, and a drop-down TV in the aft starboard corner. The forward portion of the dinette settee has an angled seatback that turns it into a rear-facing chaise lounge, for those times when keeping the captain company is a more casual affair.

The star of the show in the forward cockpit area, though, is the convertible hardtop sunroof. It’s electrically controlled, and at the touch of a button it slides from the windshield to just behind the helm seat, to open up a large area and essentially transform the indoors into the outdoors, 40 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

especially if the aft enclosure is also open. If the weather permits it, I can’t imagine a time this feature would be closed.

On the bow, the double sunpad is composed of two halves that are independently manually adjustable.

Each side has the ability to lie flat, lift a little at the head or lift a lot at the head, for versatility from full supination to cocktail-sipping uprightness. But the feature that leads to this feature is the one that is going to turn heads. The 42SC has a full windshield walkthrough to facilitate foot traffic from the bow to the main cabin — no need to use the sidedecks, which is a huge safety bonus for owners with children. The molded in fiberglass steps to the walkthrough are very much part of the layout and unobtrusive, not an afterthought at all. With the sunroof open, passage is fully upright, even for the tallest boaters.

Not bad for everyday spaces.

COOK, EAT, RELAX & SLEEP

Down a set of centerline steps is an amidships space that includes a salon to starboard and a galley to port. The salon consists of a C-shaped settee around a table that has two fold-out sections for maximum versatility.

Overhead cabinets supply storage and a 36-inch LED TV provides viewing options. The settee converts to a berth.

The galley is somewhat L-shaped and includes six overhead cabinets, a sink, a microwave/convection oven, a refrigerator/freezer, a two-burner stovetop and a couple of drawers under the microwave. LED lights are abundant in the space, but two long port windows let in natural light, and the windshield overhangs the space, so sunlight seeps in from above, too, alleviating any sense that passengers are buried belowdecks.

PERFORMANCE

Regal decided to install pod power on the 42 Sport Coupe. Our test boat had the standard twin 300 hp Volvo D4 diesels coupled to IPS 400 drives (twin D6 370 hp diesels with IPS 500 are optional). The far aft placement of the engines is what makes the second stateroom and head possible, and those pods make dockside maneuvering video-game easy.

After making our way out of Newport Harbor — a busy, busy

place on Newport to Ensenada race day — we got clear of race traffic and put the boat through its paces, which gave Michael Vrbas and JR Wills of Alexander Marine the chance to get to know the yacht better, too.

We doubled the Volvos’ load from their 700 rpm idle to 1500 rpm, which yielded 10 knots and a 5.2 gph fuel burn, for a range of just more than 470 miles (with a 10 percent reserve), in case there’s a long coastal run that needs to be made slowly. More realistically, people are going to cruise in the upper 20s, or even the low 30s, on this boat. At 25 mph, which we reached at around 3000 rpm, the twin diesels were burning a combined 22.8 gph, yielding a 270-mile range. When we cranked the rpm count to 3250, speed went to 29 mph and fuel burn to 25.6 gph. Wide-open throttle pushed the yacht to 35 mph and 31 gph, for about 1.13 mpg. Range at the upper two speeds was 280 miles. (I’ve seen other tests of the 42SC that achieved a top speed of 37 mph.)

I set the speed at 27 mph and pulled the wheel hard over, which resulted in a fun sportboat-like inward lean — Sport is in the boat’s name after all — as the pods powered the 42SC through the complete circle of the turn. We lost less than 2 mph from our speed during the turn, which isn’t always the case; I’ve been on boats that lost 5 mph or more during similar maneuvers. Coming around the last arc of the circle put us on course to cross our wake, which had a small trough behind it before a two-foot ocean swell — the biggest challenge we could find for the boat on an otherwise pleasant day. The semi-hard landing was handled easily by the 42SC before it went about its business.

Hunters” or “Property Brothers” (or any of the thousand other shows that share the formula), you know that home buyers only want one thing: everything. And they want it within their sometimes laughable budget.

That malady can affect boat buyers, too. It seems the holy grail for a lot of boat buyers is two staterooms and two heads on a boat between 40 and 45 feet, and Regal delivered.

The forward stateroom includes a full island queen bed, a 22-inch TV, under-berth storage, a cedar hanging locker, two portholes and an overhead hatch, and a split en suite head.

To port is the electric toilet and sink and to starboard, separate from the other side, is a standup shower stall.

The second stateroom, situated beneath the helm and dinette and between the engine room and the salon/galley space, includes twin berths that become a queen with a well-placed filler cushion, an armoire, a vessel sink in the living area and a separate space for the shower and the electric toilet. One can stand up in the shower and at the sink near the door but not down where the berths are, but since that’s for sleeping anyway, not being able to stand up isn’t a big deal.

Looking around the 42 Sport Coupe as we made our way back to the harbor, I could easily envision a family motoring off to spend a weekend at an island getaway. A couple could island hop for weeks with proper planning for fuel stops and provisioning, though there is plenty of room for provisions for two people to last a while. Regal planned and executed this boat well, aiming at buyers who want a versatile, feature-rich, easy-to-handle weekender that could either be a step toward a larger yacht or a move toward more self-reliant boating by a couple with a large yacht who don’t want a captain anymore.

In Over His Head THIS BOAT OWNER’S DIY PROJECT WAS ABOVE HIS HEAD BUT NOT OUT OF HIS REACH.

42 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

By Capt. Wilson Sheppard

W

hen I purchased Disconnected, I knew I would have to replace the headliner in the head. It was falling down and part of it appeared to have been cut with a dull butter knife. After cleaning up that mess, I did not expect another headliner issue to sneak up on me like a menacing bully. Then it hit me. One night it rained, and water found its way through an opening on the flybridge. Water collected inside the main salon’s headliner until it gained enough weight to impose on my headroom. The leak forced me to plan to remove that headliner, but I still had to decide whether I should remove all the headliners throughout the boat.

Eyes and Hands Up

Headliner issues are generally caused by adhesive failure, loose or broken mounts, material degradation or moisture. The first indication of an issue will be a visual deformity or flaw that may range from a small bubble in the headliner to sagging material.

Once you have found an issue, conduct a thorough inspection. Gently place your hands around the area of concern, paying attention to the feel, response and sound of the headliner. It should be soft to the touch and return to its original shape after being pressed. Any crackling or crunching sounds may indicate degraded adhesive or deteriorated foam. If the headliner is wet or feels squishy, you may have moisture from a leak or excessive humidity.

Beware: Dark, wet spaces are prime growth environments for unhealthy mold and mildew.

Although the head was my first headliner issue, the main salon was my biggest problem, given the size of the room and the possible extent of water damage. The bunkroom headliner had a gaping hole where the previous owner had removed a large fixture. The v-berth’s headliner was in good condition, except for small screw and wire holes previously used for lights. The headliner in the hallway appeared to be in the best condition.

Remove All Doubt

Three out of five rooms had major issues with their headliner, so I decided to remove all of them. There was no sense in chancing any unseen issues or trying to match the aged headliners in the hallway and v-berth.

Before I haphazardly started ripping out material, I had to determine how the headliners were mounted. They are usually secured with adhesive, staples, and/or screwed to metal or wood strips called furrings. Next, I identified all the fixtures and cosmetic trim molding that needed to be removed. Last, I disconnected the batteries and shore power, in case I accidentally damaged some hidden wiring. Removing a headliner generates lots of debris and dust, so be sure to wear protective goggles, gloves and a safety mask.

I had previously removed what remained of the head’s headliner (picture 1), so I only had to remove the remaining furrings and staples (picture 2). In the other rooms, I had to remove molding and light fixtures. All of the headliners came out fairly easily, but one had a few surprises for me.

Inside Out

My first surprise were the sheets of quarter-inch plywood immediately inside the main salon’s headliner. Some areas of the plywood were saturated with water (picture SEAMAGAZINE.COM 43

Before replacing the headliner in the head (photo 5), the writer had to remove the old one (photo 1) and the remaining staples and furrings (photo 2). In the salon, removing water-stained plywood (photo 3) revealed an interesting result: fiberglassed wood beams (photo 4).

3). Within an hour, I had several dozen wood screws on my countertop and eight pieces of various-sized plywood sheets on deck. The biggest surprise was the beautiful crisscross arrangement of fiberglassed two-by-four-inch wood beams (picture 4).

The architectural beauty of these structural members was so impressive that I decided to postpone installing a headliner in the main salon. I may paint the entire exposed ceiling white and then mount teak strips to the beams running forward and aft. Before that, however, I have to find and seal the leak and repair any wood or fiberglass damage.

44 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

To the Head

My boat is 36 feet long and has a 12-foot beam, so it has about 400 square feet of overhead space spread throughout the head, bunkroom, hallway, main salon and v-berth. With the future of the main salon’s headliner on hold, I had to decide which of the remaining rooms would be the best for my first headliner installation and provide cosmetic value. The v-berth was going to be a bit too complicated, given its large ceiling, odd sides and the hatch in the middle. The hallway headliner was a perfect square — 2 feet by 2

feet — but did not provide enough challenge for me to learn anything before tackling the other rooms.

The bunkroom was primarily used for storage, so I decided to start with the head.

Before installing a headliner, you should take care of any leaks, structural damage, wiring issues, insulation installation, etc. So I did.

The only issue I had to deal with in the head was the wiring. It looked more like a tangle of rainforest vines than part of an electrical system. Twenty-three various-sized wires hung from the ceiling. Most of them ran aft to a fuse block inside

the lower helm station. Several fuses were blown, which probably meant they were live wires that had shorted out. Madam Admiral (my wife) was the perfect partner to help identify wires via a game of tug-of-war. We removed all of the wires except the ones for lighting.

We clipped the ends of those wires, wrapped them with electrical tape and capped them with wire nuts for future installation.

Last, I decided against installing any insulation. When I initially cleaned up the headliner mess in the head, there was some fiberglass insulation left inside. The other rooms had it, too. I’m not too concerned about energy efficiency on board, since I live in Southern California.

Besides, I planned to make my headliners easy to remove and reinstall, so I always have the option to install insulation.

If you want to use insulation, consider the rigid foam type. I saw it at a hardware store, but I have not used it. There was one brand that stated it was moisture, mold and insect resistant. Be sure to research the foam and its insulating effectiveness vs. standard fiberglass insulation.

By the Numbers

In addition to carpet and fabric, a variety of other materials could be creatively used for a headliner, including bamboo, beadboard, hardboard planks and wallboard.

Select a material that is suitable for the marine environment and readily available at a local carpet, fabric or hardware store. The halfway point of a headliner project would be the wrong time to have to wait for an online order or not be able to find the exact same material to complete it.

For my headliner, I wanted a product that was semi-rigid yet flexible enough to adjust to contours in the ceiling. I wanted it in at least 4-foot-by-8-foot sheets, to minimize the number of headliner sections in each room. I found a 3/16-inch-thick sheet of white beadboard for $25 at a hardware store. I also purchased four 6-foot sections of white trim molding.

46 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

Mount Up

The bathroom ceiling measured almost 3 feet wide by 6 feet long, so I only needed one sheet of beadboard. I cut panels from a large cardboard box to make a template for the headliner. After cutting the cardboard down to a snug fit overhead, I trimmed off an extra quarter of an inch, so the beadboard can be installed and removed without damaging the walls. I planned to cover the remaining gap with trim molding. I traced the cardboard template onto the front side of the beadboard with a black marker and cut it down to size using a circular saw with a high tooth-count blade.

I did the initial installation to test the fit of the headliner. After a few adjustments, it fit perfectly (picture 5). I marked the position of the overhead beams onto the beadboard with a pencil, to indicate where to drill.

Next, I measured and cut the trim molding for each wall. I cut a 45-degree angle at the ends of each piece before positioning each to cover the gaps between the walls and the beadboard. Then, to make the headliner easy to remove and reinstall, I drilled screws through the molding and beadboard into the overhead beams using two or three screws per side.

While I am pleased with my first headliner installation, I may make a few upgrades. For example, I may paint or stain the trim a darker color, so it contrasts more with the white beadboard. For now, Madam Admiral is happy, so I am ecstatic. It is a short-lived victory, though. I still have to make and install headliners for the other rooms.

There are many things to consider when installing a headliner, even in a small space such as my boat’s head. I could have been, literally and figuratively, in over my head … in the head!

If you are afraid of doing a headliner project on your boat, I offer you these inspiring words from T.S. Eliot: “If you aren’t in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?”

You can improve your headroom and headspace at the same time. Enjoy the challenge.

NORDIC TUG 44 A WELL-KNOWN MODEL GETS A MAKEOVER AND A NEW NAME.

N

ORDIC TUGS HAS given its venerable 42 a refresh and a new moniker, the Nordic Tug 44. The more than 100 owners of a Nordic 42 have cruised thousands and thousands of miles, putting the seal of quality on the hull, which the 44 is using, so the most important concern — How trustworthy is the hull? — has been addressed. As for the rest of the tug, it’s a two-stateroom, two-head, raised pilothouse cruise-ready 44-plus-footer.

The salon, immediately inside the watertight aft door, includes two barrel chairs and a TV cabinet to port and a three- or four-person settee to starboard.

Directly forward of the salon is the U-shaped galley, ready for cruising with a three-burner stovetop, a near home-sized refrigerator/freezer, a double sink, a microwave/convection oven, overhead cabinets fore and aft, and ample countertop space to put a meal together.

Up a set of stairs from the salon is the pilothouse with watertight doors to both sides. Owners can include one captain’s chair or two, a selection of electronics, an aft-facing companion seat or more chart-table space to port, and other touches.

Down a set of stairs from the salon are the two staterooms and a small office space (or navigation center) with a desk. To port at the base of the stairs is the second stateroom with bunks, a locker and a small bureau. Forward is the master, which includes an island queen berth, hanging lockers, built-in drawers and cabinets, and an en suite head with a shower stall. Portholes and an overhead hatch keep the master well lit. The second head is just forward of the office space and juts slightly into the master.

An open flybridge option is available. It includes a helm station and a companion L-shaped settee. With or without the bridge, the upper deck has room for a

tender and a davit.

With an approximate range of 1,700 nautical miles at 8 knots — depending on the engine choice, of which we’ve seen Volvo and Cummins — a Nordic Tug 44 could make the trip from San Diego to Cabo and back without refueling, though it would be tight (and probably not a chance one would take, considering there are fuel stops along the way).

That’s a lot of cruising on one load of fuel — an entire summer of harbor and island hopping, and then some.

Secrets to Happy Family Cruising Love and tolerance, old-fashioned seamanship and high-tech equipment help adults and children stay safe and sane on long voyages.

S

cience says teenagers require more sleep than adults, which clashes with the parental mantra that “no beautiful moment shall be missed.” When cruising as a family, whether it is 6 a.m. or 6 p.m., there’s an urgent command to attention when “special” occasions arise, so all eyes can focus on dolphin leaps, rainbows and whale spouts.

Dad hopes such mandatory viewing sears the images into the family’s collective memory. Mom rejoices that everyone is together. And teenagers cinch blankets around their shoulders, “ooh” and “ahh” just enough, and wish they could go back to bed.

“When traveling on a boat, it is not possible to maintain a land-based system, as it simply does not work,” said James Ellingford, who cruises on Pendana, a Nordhavn 62, with his wife and daughters Abi, 15, and Bianca, 12. “When we are transiting part of an ocean, the children are free to sleep when they like, wake when they like and eat what they like.”

Eating and sleeping on a boat can be tricky — a little tolerance must be shown. “A mistake we made on our first ocean voyage was trying to feed our

All We Need to Do Is Talk, Talk Most boats are confining, and people can’t go for a walk when conflicts arise at sea. So it’s extremely important for family members to talk to each other and work things out.

“Communication is essential,” said Kathryn Besemer, who has cruised the coastal U.S., the Bahamas and the Caribbean for the past seven years with her husband, David, and their 18-year-old daughter, Ayla, on Three@ Sea, a 43-foot Nordhavn trawler. “When you are traveling to new places and ports, for safety you have to rely on each other.”

Kathryn joked that her husband has been living on a boat with a wife going through menopause and a daughter going through puberty.

children the usual food that they enjoyed while on land,” Ellingford said. “But at sea that resulted in a couple of sick children. Everyone is different in relation to what they can eat and can’t eat at sea, and we realize it is best to let them work this out for themselves.”

Yes, the art of compromise and negotiation is alive and well on family cruises. It has to be, because when people are confined to a small space such as a boat, there’s nothing worse than a family mutiny. If one person is unhappy, the balance is upset.

Tempers flare. And those precious moments could be wasted.

“This is their vacation, too,” said Alan Muskett, who cruises on a 2005 Selene 53 Ocean Trawler and has spent many days on the water with his wife, Pamela, and children Sally, Cathy and Luke. “My children are now young adults and have busy and sometimes stressful lives. If they want to sleep a lot, I don’t hassle them. The low melody of the diesel and the motion of the sea is a perfect soporific. It may be greatly therapeutic. Don’t sweat it.”

There are other ways to make things run smoothly, and experienced cruisers have learned how to communicate and compromise for family’s sake. There are also safety procedures that some boaters demand adherence to, as the ocean can be a dangerous place.

“Before immediately selling our house and moving onto a Nordhavn, we chartered a boat in the Abacos for a week, and then two weeks in the Greek islands,” David said. “We knew we could do this, although everything is out of your comfort zone.”

While the Besemer family got along fine most of the time, there were some conflicts.

“One time, in a very rare turn of events, my mom and I exchanged cross words,” Ayla said. “She turned around and walked away, and I said, ‘Where are you going?’ She looked back at me and said, ‘Nowhere, I live on a boat.’

One of the greatest gifts I have been given was to have a close bond with my parents. To face challenges and really rely on each other is what I depend on.”

“She turned around and walked away, and I said, ‘Where are you going?’ She looked back at me and said, ‘Nowhere, I live on a boat.”

4 Crucial Safety Devices

I

mprovements in technology have made boating less dangerous and also provided ways to survive catastrophic events that would have been almost certainly deadly 100 years ago. Here are four safety devices that are worth considering:

1 / Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). Pendana carries three EPIRBs, all of which are registered. EPIRBs are stored in the pilothouse, the ditch bag and with the life raft.

52 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

2 / Full-immersion survival suits. As the Pendana crew heads north to Alaska where water temperatures are simply not survivable, it is imperative they have on survival suits and know how to use them.

3 / Satellite communications. A VHF

4 / Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). When underway,

radio can fall prey to atmospheric conditions, so it is imperative that satellite communications are available when and if required. Pendana carries a KVH V7 global sat system, a handheld sat phone and the Iridium Go sat system, which tracks its location live once underway.

everyone on Pendana must wear a PLB, day and night, which allows someone who has fallen overboard to send the latitude and longitude to search-and-rescue organizations worldwide.

7 Navigation Rules All on Board Must Know

Electronics /Social Media Challenges Today’s Internet-powered world can be difficult to leave behind. While DirecTV offers satellite television nearly anywhere, having an Internet connection that allows web surfing or video streaming far from land or civilization can be extremely expensive.

Unless you are willing to pay for it, social media check-ins have to be delayed until you get to a port with a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, and then the children can have their fill.

“Try as we might to encourage our children away from their iPhones and computers, we must admit we have failed miserably,” Ellingford said. “We have recently bought a couple of electric scooters that go about 30 mph and are great fun; however, they come a distant second behind our girls and their social media madness. They want to, and need to, stay in touch with their friends.”

For the crew of Three@Sea, using electronics to occupy their time is taboo.

“We wanted to get off the grid,” said David Besemer. “We replaced the electronics with looking for sand dollars or snorkeling. We wanted to get out of that pattern.”

There are many rules of the water that should be followed, but there are seven rules of key importance.

1 / In the open ocean, the rules of tonnage apply. Even if an oil tanker should give way, the private-vessel captain should contact the officer on watch of the tanker and suggest that the private boat is happy to alter course if required. “More often than not they alter course as required by law, but we always initiate contact to ensure that there are no misunderstandings, even if we are the stand-on vessel,” Ellingford said.

“When in Samoan waters, we came across a number of large fishing vessels whose crew obviously forgot to read the rule book! One must never assume anything in open oceans.”

2 / When altering course to avoid another ship at sea, ensure the alteration is at a minimum of 30 degrees. Too many horror stories exist of ships altering course a few degrees and then a few more degrees, which only confuses both parties and can — and has — led to collisions at sea. If a course change needs to be made, a large correction should be made to ensure the other vessel is very clear of the intention.

3 / For worldwide cruisers, have a clear understanding of the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities 

One Thing Everyone Should Try Getting out of your comfort zone isn’t hard to do while cruising and visiting new places. However, making the effort to connect with the locals can pay huge dividends.

“A smile and a few words in a foreign language can break down barriers,” Kathryn Besemer said.

“One time in Canada, I tried in my best French to order fries and a glass of water. The waiter asked me, in perfect English, ‘Do you really want green water and fried apples?’ That’s a funny story, but it’s what really happens. You just try and laugh, and by doing that you can change how you see the world.”

SEAMAGAZINE.COM 53

regions (i.e., Region A and Region B).

Region B covers the entire Americas, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines, and the rest of the world is covered by Region A. Getting port and starboard markers mixed up is not something anyone wants.

4 / Everyone on board, without exception, must use proper radio protocol. It is particularly important in an emergency that a mayday or pan call be made giving all the information required.

5 / While at sea, take the latitude/longitude and headings hourly and record them on paper. “While the advent of new technology is wonderful, our reliance on this technology, I believe, is too great,” Ellingford said. “If in the middle of the ocean all our electronics go black, we will have a way of working out our position, from our last recorded position, within about a mile, and as such, we should be able to make landfall safely.”

6 / When taking over a watch cycle, it is imperative the new watch-keeper check the electronic chart system to ensure the boat is where it is believed to be, and that the track is clear of obstacles, reefs or shallow areas.

7 / Look where you are going. “Fog is incredibly stressful, and you have to trust your instruments,” Kathryn Besemer said. “But you can be so focused on your instruments you never look out. I’ve heard of people running over buoys because they never looked out.”

6 Good Habits to Develop Sometimes it just takes paying attention to the basics to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. Six good habits can make a big difference.

1 / Conduct a head count prior to departure. “It is unpleasant to arrive at Canadian customs in Poet’s Cove and realize you have left a child at Roche Harbor,” Muskett said. “Questions of neglect arise, and spousal recriminations can be fierce. The departure checklist must include the accounting of all family members.”

2 / When packing, include shoes that may be boring and made for old people but that keep you from cracking your head on a wet deck.

3 / If you go outside the cabin while underway, you must put on a life jacket, no exceptions.

4 / If you go outside while underway, you need to tell someone.

5 / Your foot, or any body part, is far more expensive when crushed than any boat.

“If the captain is going to crunch the dock, let him,” Muskett said. “Don’t try to push, jump or otherwise alter the course of a 50-ton boat with your 120 pounds.”

6 / In rough seas, hang on. Also, don’t complain about rough seas. The captain knows they are rough.

Universal Knowledge There are a few things everyone should know.

> How to use the VHF radio. If the captain were to be incapacitated, you should at least know how to do the Channel 16 mayday thing. > How to locate position. Everyone should have an approximate idea of where on the planet the boat is located. Using iPad navigation programs can help. > How to be a spotter. When log-infested waters are encountered, young eyes can be quite useful. > How to treat equipment. The crew is responsible for fenders and lines and their proper stowage. > How to treat the boat. Ensure the boat is watered at the marinas, hooked up to shore power and generally shipshape.

54 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

3 Port Safety Tips Entering and exiting a port can be an exciting time, and it’s also when accidents can occur.

“There is no doubt that we take safety very seriously aboard,” Ellingford said. “There is no watching TV or DVDs in Pendana’s pilothouse — being on watch means precisely that!”

Three guidelines help the crew of Pendana stay safe when entering or exiting a port: 1 / The crew only enters a new port in daylight hours and at slack tide.

2 / The Pendana crew always makes sure its thrusters and forward and reverse gears are working properly before entering/exiting a port.

3 / The crew ensures anchor tie-downs are removed when entering/exiting a new port, in case anchor deployment is required in a hurry.

Companions for the Kids Getting kids together in port can lead to unforgettable times. For example, the crew of Three@Sea learned to reach out to fellow cruisers when they settled in at an exotic locale.

“We just started knocking on hull bottoms at port in the British Virgin Islands,” Kathryn Besemer said. “Ayla was 13 and we saw a bunch of different-age kids on boats around us. By happy hour, we had kids from Brazil, Switzerland, Australia, the U.S. and Canada on board. We had their parents, and everyone brought an appetizer and something to drink.”

Movie nights and stargazing are ways kids can spend time together, and parents enjoy it, too.

“There are certain destinations that are known to have more families with kids,” David Besemer said. “I would recommend Georgetown in the Bahamas. Ayla met 10 kids there and is still friends with all of them.”

Dealing with Unexpected Events

Paul Wolff often cruises the Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California in his Selene 55 Ocean Trawler Bella Luna. Wolff takes personal trips out of his home dock in Oxnard, Calif., and also runs guest charters for overnight trips to Catalina and the Santa Cruz islands.

Wolf has four boys — ages 24, 22, 19 and 7 — and is constantly making preparations for the unexpected.

“First, we always teach younger children what do when they fall into the water,” Wolff said. “It’s mandatory on my boat for children to wear life jackets when on the deck or on the dock, and the jacket has to have a whistle on it, which you have to add, as they don’t come with whistles.”

If a child falls in, the first thing he does is blow that whistle as loud as possible.

“Even if someone doesn’t see the child fall in, they will hear the whistle,” Wolff said. “We also have overboard drills, and everyone has a job if someone goes into the water.”

Knowing what to do if the captain — mom or dad — passes out can help maintain safety and facilitate a rescue.

“We go over the basic procedures of how to find out your exact position, because that is the first thing the Coast Guard will ask,” Wolff said.

“We teach them how to operate the VHF radio, how to call for help, and how to operate the flare gun and find the safety kit.”

QUICK ESCAPE

A JAUNT IN EGMONT

Skookumchuck Bakery is hard to miss on the trail to the provincial park.

BACKEDDY RESORT AND MARINA IS A QUALITY JUMPING-OFF POINT FOR A TRIP TO PRINCESS LOUISA. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

BESIDES BEING A QUIET AND relaxing marina, located in the small community of Egmont on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, there were a couple other reasons for our two-night Backeddy Resort & Marina 1 visit last summer. The first was that it made a perfect location to time our departure and arrival at Malibu Rapids before a visit to Princess Louisa Inlet. The second was to witness the power of the world-famous Skookumchuck Rapids.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL We timed our arrival for near slack water. As we pulled into our assigned space, we were met by Tanner, the helpful and energetic summer wharfinger, who assisted with our lines.

Open year round, the marina offers moorage up to 120 feet, diesel and gasoline, 15- and 30-amp power, Wi-Fi, ice, washrooms, showers, laundry, a liquor store, snacks, and floatplane service by Kenmore Air and West Coast Air. Reservations are recommended during the summer season. There are also cabins, motel rooms, campgrounds and boat launch available.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION At times the current is strong at the dock on both flood and ebb tides. The dock is best approached with the bow to the current for maximum control. It is suggested to hail the marina on VHF Channel 66A so a wharfinger can assist with the lines.

The red triangle day beacon, off the marina’s south dock, is a navigation aid for Sechelt Inlet. Approach the inner southern dock by leaving the beacon to port. It marks a rock that extends from shore.

TAKE A HIKE On the afternoon of our second day, we walked to the Skookumchuck Narrows, one of B.C.’s greatest natural shows. The 90-minute walk was timed so we would arrive 30 minutes before maximum flood. Before entering the provincial park, we passed Skook­ umchuck Bakery 3 but it was closed.

Skookumchuck (“strong or turbulent waters” in the Salish language) 4 200 billion gallons of Narrows boils as water are forced through the narrows twice a day. These are the largest and fastest-running tidal rapids in North America. The water can reach speeds of up to 16 knots, making it popular 4 with “extreme” kayakers. The most 4 dramatic motion happens at max flood 1

when the water is whipped into cavernous whirlpools and up into eight- to 10-foot standing waves. As we stood on the water’s edge at Roland Point, we could not only see the power but could also feel and hear the rapids roar. The walk was a bit long in the summer heat but well worth it.

EXPLORE THE AREA The Egmont Heritage Centre 5 is across from the Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park. The center tells the story of the native and early pioneer settlers of the area with emphasis on the logging and fishing heritage. There are special collections of early 1900s Vivian and Easthope diesel engines, antique bottles, Depression-era glass and a gift shop featuring local books, arts and crafts.

There are also outdoor displays and a picnic area.

Sunshine Coast Tours will help you discover the cultural and historical highlights of the area. Should you not want to take the 80-mile round trip or have the time to make the run in your own boat, it offers daily five-hour tours to Princess Louisa Inlet, judged one of the 10 most scenic spots in North America, which is only accessible by water or floatplane. They also offer scuba dive excursions.

FIND DINING

JUST BECAUSE THE LOCATIONS ARE REMOTE DOESN’T MEAN BOATERS CAN’T ENJOY GREAT FOOD WAY NORTH OF THE BORDER.

The Bistro at Westwood Lake in Nanaimo, B.C., is right off the shores of Westwood Lake. Other great dining options north of the border include Dent Island Lodge (opposite, top) and Blind Channel Resort (opposite, bottom).

BY JOHN TEMPLE

TOO OFTEN A LEG OF the cruise ends with half of the couple yelling “Woo hoo!,” and the other half saying “Finally, we can get off the boat.” Then, one of them prepares for dinner while the other gets off the boat, fixes the lines and visits with the neighbor boats. Sound familiar? Not for us (once I learned how to behave).

My wife, Candy, and I have traveled on Bigger Juan for more than 35 years, as far as to Skagway and back. We have had wonderful adventures and enjoyed fine dining. Yes, fine dining. Most people do not associate fine dining with boating, but to us, it is part of the trip.

Our plan after going to a marina often included securely tying up, then walking down the dock or ashore to have dinner. We experienced some great dining and would like to share some of those experiences. (We also provision so our onboard dining has a chance of being equally superb — and often is).

PNW-8 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

SIDNEY

The first stop for many West Coast boaters going north is Sidney, to pass customs and to provision. An establishment that is too little known is the wonderful Haro’s Restaurant in the Sidney Pier Hotel and Spa. The dining is casual and the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, with indoor and alfresco dining. There are many other great and unique restaurants on the strip (Beacon Avenue), including Sidney Street Market, especially on Thursday summer evenings.

MONTAGUE

Many people anchor or tie up at the

dock in Montague to enjoy the wonderful sunsets. A bus can take you to the Hummingbird Pub, which is a fun thing to do, but just a quarter of a mile into the trip, on the left, is a wonderful restaurant in the woods. We’ve gone there for years, starting back when it was called La Berengerie — fine dining on the main floor of a quaint house on the main road from the village/ferry to the marina. There is a new restaurant in its place called Pilgrimme that is not to be missed. The quiet walk through the woods is great and so is downhill on the way back. You might also want to bring a container for collecting berries.

NANAIMO

Oh yes, the wonderful Nanaimo Bar has gourmet pizza, burgers and good varieties of food. But for the best of cuisine on eastern Vancouver Island,

find the Bistro at Westwood Lake, which has a lot of history dating back to the fine dining they provided at Silva Bay for years. Linda and Gaetan will be happy to share that story with you.

Among all of the other restaurants in town, do not miss Mon Petit Choux.

SUNSHINE COAST

Have you ever heard of the Laughing Oyster? There are two ways to get there: from Grief Point or down the backside in Okeover Inlet. From Grief Point or Powell River, you will need a cab or a friend to take you there. It has great food, a view, inside or outside dining, and some of the best food in B.C., served by Dave. It is a beautiful cruise down Okeover Inlet if you come by boat. Anchor and dinghy over or find a spot on the public dock outside.

We once had so much fun that our onboard international guests missed their flight from Powell River Airport to Vancouver for an international return flight to the U.K. — a story in itself.

DESOLATION SOUND (AND A BIT NORTH)

Before you go up Johnstone Strait to the Broughtons, there are two places are worth checking out. First is the Dent Island Lodge. It used to be private, but more than a decade ago it became a grand public spot. Dent cannot be beaten for amenities and fine dining from dawn to night in a boaters’ Four Seasons environment.

Its only detraction is the price, but it is well worth a try, at least once. We splurge there every year we can. Enjoy the outdoor hot tub on the rapids, the sauna and the unbeatable exercise room with spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Dent Rapids.

The restaurant has a happy hour with superb appetizers, fine dining, views of the rapids and, some days, a fun outdoor tapa bar. Too good!

Blind Channel Resort is truly unique, partially owing to its fine German cuisine with great service and the artwork on the walls. If you have not been to this crossroads marina, try it out. You can find large and small yachts here, and great fishing is close by. Three generations of caretakers

make you feel like longtime friends.

In addition, you can enjoy morning pastry, provisions, a liquor store, a fuel stop and fun events held in the large yard and on the deck. If you have not been there, try to reserve a slip and get dinner reservations.

PIG ROAST

If you decide to venture north to the Broughtons or have been trying to get the time and confidence to go up the Johnstone Strait, think about the Pig Roast at Pierre’s. We had passed by Echo Bay for more than 10 years, as we had made our first stops at Lagoon Cove or Minstrel Island many years ago (this was before we discovered Port Harvey Marine Resort). The pig roast is above

and beyond what we had expected — the finest potluck I have ever enjoyed by land or sea. Far exceeding any of the numerous potlucks and happy hours we have enjoyed from Seattle to Skagway.

Boaters take the time to prepare very “cheffy” sides in tribute to Pierre and Tove’s hospitality.

MEET STEVEN CLAY BROWN MASTER CARVER CURRENTLY IN RESIDENCE AT SITKA NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK’S VISITOR CENTER

Steve Brown discusses plans for the new canoe at Sitka National Historical Park in Sitka, Alaska, with carvers TJ Young (left) and Jerrod Galanin (right). Brown is leaning on the 28-foot log they are carving.

STEVE BROWN HAS BEEN CARVING canoes for almost half a century, having completed 13 canoes since he began honing his craft in 1973. The challenge Brown gave himself was to mimic as closely as possible the 19th century masters of the art form. Dugout canoes have long been an essential component of native peoples, and Brown honors their tradition to give back what his own culture took away. As a non-native carver, Brown aims to preserve the Southeast Alaska native culture and pass their traditions on to future generations by including native apprentices in his projects.

How did you get started with carving canoes?

I became interested in the arts and culture of the Northwest coast as a teenager growing up in Seattle.

By the time I was a student at the University of Washington (beginning in 1968), Bill Holm, who had been a

friend and mentor of mine for several years, offered me a job at the Burke Museum. Holm believes in the axiom that ‘if you really want to learn about an object, then make one’. This can lead to insights far beyond the level that mere observation makes possible, and has the power to put one in

contact with the continuum of craftspeople who developed said object through time and history. Holm had carved two canoes by the time I went to work at the Burke, and this opened my mind to the notion that it could still be done, and that a big canoe is a great sort of thing to create. I studied the historical models and full-size canoes in Burke’s collection, as well as examples in other museums like the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, and other surviving canoes from the time of the old masters of the art form. I carved my first large canoe, 23 feet long, in 1973. The canoe was for my own use, but the project was recorded in photos and film for the Burke Museum’s historical archive.

That canoe was fairly successful as a watercraft. Friends and I paddled it many miles in the San Juan Islands and in the waters off Tofino, British Columbia. But it also taught me that I had more to learn about the subject.

This led me to further research as part of an abiding interest in the subject that continues today.

Where are your works displayed?

As a non-native carver, I have been privileged to work on canoe projects in a number of native communities, and these vessels form the greatest number of those I’ve made over the last 40-plus years. Working with a group of five young Makah men who were interested in learning canoe work, we carved the four complete canoes that have been on display in the Makah Cultural and Research Center in Neah Bay, Wash., since it opened

in 1979. Having the chance to make four canoes in a row, from 10, 17, 25, and 32 feet, gave us a great learning opportunity.

In 1983, I was commissioned to carve a canoe for the Metlakatla Tsimshian community located on Annette Island, Southeast Alaska.

A young Tlingit artist named Will Burkhart and I carved a 25-foot canoe that, when not in use for some ceremonial purpose, is displayed in the Tribal House at Metlakatla. Tlingit apprentice Mick Beasley and I carved two Spruce canoes. One is on display where it was carved in the Glacier Bay National Monument at Bartlett Cove in 1987, and the other was carved in the Tlingit village of Hoonah, on Chichagof Island, in 1988. Mick and I worked with Tlingit elder George Dalton, who wanted to see Hoonahstyle sea otter hunting canoes made the way his father had done in the early 1900s, using no power tools. So we used only hand tools on both these canoes.

A canoe-making workshop in 1990 at the Totem Heritage Center in Ketchikan, Alaska, yielded a 14-foot canoe, made as a workshop project with a group of five native helpers.

PNW-12 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

Jerrod Galanin (left), TJ Young, Nick Galanin and Tommy Joseph finish a long cut with the help of wooden rails and a chainsaw mill. The long cut established the reverse rocker in the bottom of the canoe, which will become straight after the steaming-out process is complete toward the end of the project.

It was launched on the afternoon of the eighth day of work. Tlingit carvers Wayne Price, Israel Shotridge, and Gary Stevens assisted in carving a 20-foot canoe in 1997 in Wrangell, Alaska, where it is currently displayed within the Chief Shakes Tribal House at the center of the harbor. The Chilkat Tlingit village of Klukwan commissioned a canoe that was carved with a group of ten helpers from the community. The 37-foot Head Canoe project began in 2008 and was formally dedicated in 2010. It will be displayed in the new Chilkat Heritage Center Museum, which opened in May 2016.

The 28-foot canoe being carved by four guys with my help at the Sitka National Historical Park will be displayed there when it is finished.

What does it mean to be a master carver?

Well, the term “master carver” gets tossed around a lot these days, and probably far more than it should be.

I don’t consider myself a master of

this art form, though I have a good deal of experience in the 13 canoes I’ve made since 1973. The old historical canoes that have survived intact or in old photographs were all made to an amazingly consistent standard of form and craftsmanship. The only true masters of this art form were the ones who made those and the many precise model canoes extant, thereby passing the ‘blueprints’ for these vessels on to the present day. They had learned by the old master and apprentice system, which survived intact for generations up into the early 20th century. Few people if anyone living today have come close to equaling that level of expertise. Since 1989 a great number of new canoes have been created by carvers from most if not all of the Northwest Coast First Nations, and many of these are very good examples that aspire to the old tradition. There is simply so much, however, that the old timers incorporated into their work ­— generations of experience designing, carving, steam-

ing-out, and finishing those beautiful and seaworthy vessels — that it’s difficult for anyone today to pick all that up on the first or even successive attempts. I like to think I’ve been getting closer to that standard with every canoe I’ve made, but I don’t feel I’ve achieved it yet. The real masters set the bar very high.

What does the canoe represent to the Tlingit people?

That is difficult for an outsider like myself to fully express, it is so entwined with the native identity and experience.

I gather, though, from much listening to knowledgeable native speakers on the subject, that canoes were in may ways the center of the indigenous cultures. It was their magic carpet, their means of moving freight, their platform for hunting, gathering, and journeying to seasonal food processing sites that were essential for survival. In short, without seaworthy canoes, the Northwest Coast cultures may never have developed into the grand, successful cultures that they became.

When will this particular canoe be completed, and what is in store for it upon completion? Can you tell us a bit about the team of carvers you’re working with on your current project?

The four carvers I’m working with in Sitka all have a great deal of carving experience in several different mediums, though this is the first canoe for all of them. TJ Young is Haida, down from his home in Anchorage for the project. He’s the full-timer. Jerrod and Nick Galanin are from an artistic Tlingit family in Sitka. Their uncle is Will Burkhart, who worked with me in Metlakatla, and carved a 35-foot canoe for Sitka in 1998. Tommy Joseph grew up in Ketchikan and has worked as a totem carver and teacher in Sitka for about 30 years. They’re all great guys to work with, and we’re planning to have the canoe in the water in June. This will leave enough time for a group of young people in Sitka, yet to be identified, to get to know the canoe prior to paddling it part of the way to Glacier Bay for the dedication of the new Hoonah Tlingit clan house recently constructed there, which is in late August.

Do you go out on the canoes once you finish carving them? Are you a boater yourself?

I have paddled all of the canoes I’ve made at least once, for the trial runs, and some of them for additional longer journeys. I paddled and sailed in my first canoe and Bill Holm’s 35-foot canoe for many miles. My canoe was destroyed in a storm in 1977. The 25-foot seal-hunting canoe in Neah Bay, the first one we made there, was paddled and sailed by five of us north across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the village of Pacheenaht, at the head of Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island. I believe that may have been the first international canoe journey in modern times.

We visited there with Kweesto, chief of the Pacheenahts, who two years before, at 98, had carved a canoe that’s in Fort Rodd Hill Park west of Victoria, B.C. When asked what he thought of our canoe, he said, ‘It’ll pass for a canoe.’

We thought that was pretty good.

THE TILLAMOOK ROCK LIGHTHOUSE CANNON BEACH, ORE.

TILLAMOOK ROCK LIGHTHOUSE IS NEXT to Haystack Rock a mile off the rugged coast of Cannon Beach, Ore. It was completed in 1881 and at the time was the most expensive lighthouse ever built. Because of the dangerous and erratic weather conditions, four keepers were required per shift. They would bunker down for six months at a time, weathering storms and blowing foghorns. The frequent squalls and constant danger gave this lighthouse the nickname “Terrible Tilly.” Seventy-seven years after it was built, it was decommissioned and replaced with a whistle buoy and the land was sold off to private investors.

•

After the lighthouse was decommissioned, it remained abandoned until a company called Eternity at Sea made the lighthouse into a makeshift columbarium. Although about 30 urns remain in the lighthouse, the Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery board took away its license in 1999.

•

It was famously a coordinate point for Mikey as he looked through the medallion to find pirate treasure in the movie “The Goonies.”

•

People who wish to be kept at the lighthouse vaults are called “Honorary Lighthouse Keepers” on the columbarium website.

•

You can only access the lighthouse by helicopter and it is not currently open to the public.

FEATUR E

FLOATING HOMES

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA’S LIVEABOARDS ENJOY A LIFE OF FREEDOM, PRIVACY AND SIMPLICITY.

BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT

THE LIFESTYLE OF A LIVEABOARD comes with certain romanticisms, most of which have nothing to do with Sonny Crockett ’s life aboard St. Vitus Dance.

Living aboard a boat is not as simple as being on a floating home, as the “Miami Vice” television series might have suggested.

Many liveaboards who spoke to us often find living on the water to be rewarding. Common perks include freedom to travel, communal living at the docks and simplicity in lifestyle.

SANTA BARBARA

Santa Barbara Harbor is unique in

permitting a handful of houseboats to complement the 113 allowable live­aboards. At least one person has resided in a houseboat and as a live­ aboard at Southern California’s north­ ernmost harbor.

“It was a fantasy of mine,” said Helene Webb, a former Santa Barbara Harbor commissioner who now lives

on one of four houseboats permitted in Santa Barbara Harbor. “I grew up in Florida and I’d go to the marinas and see the boats and thought, ‘It’d be so cool to live on a boat.’”

The liveaboard lifestyle became a reality for Webb when she moved from New York City to Los Angeles, where she spent time living aboard a vessel in Marina del Rey. She eventually fell in love with Santa Barbara and took up residence at the city-owned harbor.

“I love watching the sunrises, the sunsets; you’re close to nature,” Webb said of her attraction to the live­ aboard lifestyle, adding her experi­ ences living aboard have far exceeded her expectations.

The natural diversity surround­ ing Santa Barbara Harbor and the community feel on the docks helps make living aboard a vessel a pleasur­ able experience, Webb said.

Another major perk Webb and other liveaboards identify with is privacy.

“You know people on the dock for years and you see them, [but] most of the time you don’t go on their boats. To go onto a boat, you have to be invited.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM CA-1

REGIONAL SECTION // SEA MAGAZINE

The marinas in Ventura Harbor are rather friendly to liveaboards and provide a sense of community that boaters enjoy.

I like that, people respect that privacy, because [boats] are real small spaces,” Webb said.

There are some challenges to living aboard a boat, of course. Webb pointed out rain and windy weather can cause some challenges. Sometimes your neighbor might be less than ideal.

“If you’re next to someone who is loud, or has an unkempt boat, that could be a challenge,” Webb said.

Overall, though, Webb said she enjoys the Santa Barbara Harbor community, adding that people are personable, respectful of privacy and collegial.

VENTURA HARBOR

The marinas in Ventura Harbor are rather friendly to liveaboards, provid­ ing a sense of community. Many live­ aboards also enjoy access to Channel Islands National Park to the west and mountains to the east. Tony Porter, a liveaboard in Ventura Harbor, has observed some families living aboard boats where his vessel is docked.

“There are families with children, and I see how those kids are really happy and safe playing around. There aren’t many communities you can do CA-2 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

that in,” Porter said. “It’s a little like I imagine people lived in villages used to live.”

Tony Alcock first lived aboard a boat in the 1970s and returned to the life­ style again a couple of years ago. He even wrote a book about living aboard a boat, “Life at the End of a Rope,” available online and at bookstores.

“It’s a lovely life. It’s very safe and people look out for each other. We all share the same problems and chal­ lenges,” Alcock said.

John Howard, who has lived aboard for about 30 years, said being a live­ aboard is “enriching.”

“My backyard is millions of square miles. It’s the Pacific Ocean, and we’re four or five docklines away from exploring that,” Howard said. “We get together and cook, we go out to winer­ ies and taste wine, and we sometimes work together.”

Living aboard a vessel means being OK with downsizing on material goods, according to Mary Lee Huber.

“The biggest transition is learning to live small, [but] it is also incredi­ bly freeing,” Huber said, adding dock parties, dinner dates and “buddy boat­ ing” are common phenomena among Ventura’s liveaboards.

“There are dock parties when the weather is nice. People come out onto the dock and mingle. Everyone brings a snack,” Huber said. “You make rela­ tionships with people you’re going to go to dinner with. There are times you might go with other people on your boat or have two boats go out at a time to the islands and spend a weekend.”

Monthly costs associated with being a liveaboard can vary from resident to resident, according to Alcock. Living aboard a 40­foot vessel in a marina where the slip fee is $20 per foot means a liveaboard would pay $800 per month to the marina. Other costs include elec­ tricity, sewage pumpout, bottom clean­ ing, topside cleaning, maintenance, insurance and taxes. These costs could add another $500 to $600 or more per month to living expenses. Another potential monthly expense: payments, if any, on the vessel.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY

Randy Sysol has lived aboard a 55­foot trawler at National City’s Pier 32 Marina with his wife and son for about four years. Transitioning from a land residence to one on the water was not easy, he said.

“The process of moving aboard was painstaking, as we sold our home of 16 years and divested ourselves of anything that did not fit on the boat.

We did this as we were planning on traveling for a couple of years and didn’t want to be worried about stor­ age of stuff,” Sysol explained.

He said the relative newness of Pier 32 Marina makes it an ideal location for liveaboards. “[The marina] has tons of ameni­ ties and a good liveaboard community.

We like the pool in the summer and the jacuzzi anytime. We don’t partic­ ularly like the location of the marina as much as others, but the amenities certainly make up for the long run out of the bay,” Sysol said. “The liveaboards here are a friendly group, looking out for one another as well as having occa­ sional parties and potlucks.”

Being a liveaboard does come with a few pitfalls, Sysol observed, though specific shortcomings obviously vary from boater to boater.

One San Diego boater said being a liveaboard could be cheaper than living in a land-based house or apart­ ment, but the affordability of resid­ ing in a recreational vessel ultimately depends on marina rates and the boat’s type, size and quality.

LOS ANGELES AND ORANGE COUNTIES

Donna Ethington has lived aboard a boat for decades and currently makes port in Wilmington, which is home to Island Yacht Anchorage, Cerritos Yacht Anchorage, Lighthouse Yacht

Landing, Pacific Yacht Landing, California Yacht Marina and Holiday Harbor.

Finding a liveaboard slip at any Port of Los Angeles marina is no easy task. Port of L.A. limits living aboard a vessel to 5 percent of available slips at each marina.

Those who do decide to live along the Cerritos Channel and adjacent to Port of L.A.’s East Basin will find a unique blend of charm and challenges, Ethington said.

Liveaboard slip rates in Wilmington are generally competitive and more

affordable than marinas in Long Beach or San Pedro, Ethington said.

Challenges include frequent ship traffic, industrial noise and air pollu­ tion. Ethington added liveaboards in San Pedro and Wilmington play a unique role in watching over local marinas. “Because they walk by the same boats every day, liveaboards notice if a boat is taking on water, or if there’s a boat that doesn’t belong here. Because they’re familiar with the surroundings, liveaboards will call the Port Police if there are unusual activi­ ties in their marina or in the area, and many of us have had valuable CERT and U.S. Coast Guard training.”

Neighboring Long Beach allows up to 230 liveaboards, or 7.8 percent of slips, in all of its marinas, according to the city’s marine operations manager, Elvira Hallinan. Shoreline Marina in downtown Long Beach has the high­ est number of liveaboards in the city, with 169 slips (10.5 percent of the slip count) assigned to those living aboard a vessel; Alamitos Bay is home to 58 liveaboard slips (4.5 percent of slip count).

The Dana Point Marina Co. manages liveaboard permits at Orange County’s southernmost harbor. A prospective tenant must meet certain requirements and pay an appropriate rent and fee to obtain a liveaboard permit in Dana Point. A liveaboard vessel, for exam­ ple, must have at least 140 square feet of livable space for one person and an additional 40 square feet per extra tenant. The liveaboard fee is 40 percent of the basic slip rent. So the owner of a 35-footer, the smallest vessel allowed in a liveaboard slip at Dana Harbor, would pay $622 in rent plus $248.80 in live­ aboard fees for a total rent of $870.80.

The beachfront in Pacific Beach is a hub of activity, where bicyclists, walkers, beachgoers and diners cross paths and share in the sunshine.

(when, we’re assuming, nightlife was a little more sedate). For boaters, PB, as it’s known by locals, offers a chance to stretch their sea legs, enjoy some good food on the beach and satisfy any shop­ ping or beverage urges.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL While Pacific Beach itself doesn’t offer any boat moorage, Mission Bay isn’t far — walking distance for the adventurous and a short cab or Uber ride for the rest — and visitors can look for a slip at Driscoll Mission Bay Marina, Marina Village Marina, or the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina. Alternatively, Mariner’s Basin offers 72-hour anchorage. Even Shelter and Harbor islands aren’t that far.

THE WATERFRONT

QUICK ESCAPE

BOUNTY AT THE BEACH DESPITE HAVING NO MARINE FACILITIES OF ITS OWN, PACIFIC BEACH IS WORTH A DAY TRIP.

BY MIKE WERLING

NESTLED BETWEEN ICONIC MISSION BAY and upscale La Jolla is the community of Pacific Beach. Hemmed in by the eternal Pacific to the west and the infernal Interstate 5 to the east, Pacific Beach has lately become a nightlife hub in the San Diego area, but its history stretches back to the 1880s CA-6 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

One could pass the entire day in Pacific Beach without leaving the waterfront, though a jaunt up Garnet or Grand Avenue is advisable. A paved Ocean Walk runs the length of the town and actually down to Mission Bay. Heck, it’s only a couple of miles from Crystal Pier to Belmont Park. Crystal Pier 1 itself is a gathering spot. At the end of the pier, the view of the coast stretches out in both directions, and the sunset is shown on the largest and highest def inition f lat-screen available.

The surf show is fun to watch and can be enjoyed from above on the pier or at eye level on the beach to either side of the pier. And on the pier are about 25 cottages for rent, part of The Crystal Pier Hotel, if you feel inclined to leave the boat where it is and stay right over the water. Plan ahead, though, because the cottages are reserved months in advance — many, many months during the busy summer season.

GRAB A BITE Dining choices in Pacific Beach abound. From what I could tell, Kono’s Surf Club 2 is the breakfast hotspot.

The place is small, but it was the first place I passed that had a line, so the food must be good. Its location right at the end of Garnet Avenue — the town’s

main drag — and the start of Crystal Pier doesn’t hurt.

A walk south on the boardwalk took me past colorful souvenir shops, bars, beachside cottages and condos. I saw another place with a line — Woody’s 3 , definitely a beach spot — so I figured I’d give it a try. I was there a little early for lunch, as it turned out, and I was told I couldn’t get a regular burger. “But,” the nice employee said, “you can get a breakfast burger.” OK. The difference? The Morning Woody includes a fried egg and rosemary potatoes instead of fries. Yeah, it was good. And the surfers were out, so there was a bit of a show.

Nicer dining choices are close by,

CA-8 SEA MAGAZINE / JUNE 2016

including Fat Fish Cantina Grill 4 and Firehouse American Eatery 5 , which practically touches Fire Station #21 next door.

DROP SOME CASH If there’s room on the boat for more stuff, Pacific Beach has what it takes to scratch the shopping itch. South Coast Wahines Surf Shop is practically on the sand at the foot of the pier. A four- or five-block walk up Garnet Avenue should sate most shopping pangs. National brands are repre­ sented, but the local places, such as the Fabulous Rag Boutique 6 and Closet Signature 7 for women’s styles and

Dziner Eyez 8 for sunglasses, are most abundant. For a really local expe­ rience, check out Pangaea Outpost 9 , a shopping center with more than 70 local merchants and artists under one roof.

If shopping is too much for one or more members of the party, they can hunker down for drinks or bar hop to places such as Cabo Cantina, Avenue, Society, Backyard Kitchen & Tap or Pacific Beach Ale House.

As close as Pacific Beach is to the rest of the action, visitors could spend the morning and afternoon enjoying its small-scale feel before hitting the Gaslamp Quarter for dinner and night­ life — or vice-versa.

THE CALIFORNIA DELTA THE CALIFORNIA DELTA IS AN expansive network of waterways from Sacramento to Stockton to Pittsburg.

There are many marinas and cities scattered throughout the Delta that have a rich and diverse history.

SPAIN TO HONOR SD MARITIME MUSEUM CEO

THE MARITIME MUSEUM of San Diego has announced that Ray Ashley, museum president and CEO, will be decorated with the “Cruz de Oficial de la Orden de Isabel la Catolica” of Spain. The decoration to be awarded Ashley is considered one of the country’s highest honors, which Ashley earned by spearheading the project to build a replica of San Salvador, the ship Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo sailed into San Diego Bay — the first European to do so. Both foreign and Spanish national recipi­ ents are honored for their “exceptional services” to Spain’s history.

JUNE’S QUESTIONS: > What is my broker obligated to do if the boat I’m selling

draws more than one offer?

Part II, Article 4 of the Certified Professional Yacht Brokers’ Code of Ethics (cpyb.net) has this to say on the matter: In the event that more than one offer on a specific vessel is made before the Seller has accepted an offer, all additional offers presented to the Broker, whether by a prospective purchaser or another Broker, should be transmitted to the Seller for his consideration. In the event that a Broker, Brokerage house or central agent has received more than one offer prior to acceptance of any offer, all offers should be presented to the Seller. The Broker shall act on the instructions of the Seller as to which offer shall be accepted and/or negotiated. If an offer is made after owner has previously accepted an offer, the owner should be made aware of its existence. This outline is a recommendation for a fair procedure for Brokers to follow when several offers are presented at approximately the same time. The procedure for handling any multiple offer situation



should be discussed with the boat’s owner. Ultimately, it is a Broker’s obligation to act as the owner desires and by whatever guidelines he decides. Whatever solution is decided by the owner, all those making offers should be apprised of it.

> What is a broker going to do to get my boat in front of as many potential buyers and brokers as possible?

On the Certified Professional Yacht Broker website (cpyb.net), consumers will find this reply on the Selling/ Buying Your Vessel tab: Get Your Boat To Market A Yacht Sales Professional will prepare a complete and accurate listing of the specifications of your boat that will be used to develop the print advertising, electronic advertising, and entry into the multiple listing services (MLS). In a matter of hours, a full description and photographs of

your boat can be made available to brokers and buyers around the world, or right next door, with a central contact person — your professional broker — available to answer questions, qualify buyers, and arrange showings.

A Yacht Sales Professional will help you prepare your boat for sale by evaluating its current condition, advising how to put it in “show” condition, and recommending services specializing in whatever type of work may be required.

A Yacht Sales Professional will outline an advertising and promotion strategy that is tailored for your boat.

This will include print advertising, electronic promotion, MLS systems, and boat shows.

A Yacht Sales Professional will respond to inquiries and arrange for showings, with a broker present. A seller working on his own can be swamped with unqualified inquiries, no-show appointments, people “just looking,” and maybe, somewhere in that flood, a few people actually ready and willing to buy your boat. A professional broker takes care of this for you, ultimately finding the buyer for your boat.

BOAT LOANS “Yacht Financing from Boaters you can trust.”

To say it is a 9.5 on the 1 to 10 scale might not do it justice.

This is the nicest, cleanest, Island Packet on the planet. This boat was bought new in 2011 from dealer inventory, it was then totally tricked out by the owner for serious cruising. If you are looking for an Island Packet that is like new then this is a must see. Offered at $499,000.
