CHANGE OF VENUE, CHANGE OF NAME O

K, THE SAD news is that a 37-year run has come to

an end. The Lido Boat Show won’t be making its annual appearance at Lido Marina Village in Newport Harbor this month, but that doesn’t mean Southern California boaters will be without a boat show this fall. In fact, the same producer who brought the Lido show into existence and nurtured it all these years, the Duncan McIntosh Co., has stepped up and created a new show — a silver lining for SoCal mariners.

Set to debut later this month — Sept. 22-25 to be exact — the Southern California In-Water Boat Show will take over Cabrillo Way Marina in Los Angeles Harbor and bring together boat builders, yacht brokers, accessory manufacturers and distributors, and trailerable boat dealers. More than 200 boats — from trailerable size on up to motoryachts — and 60 booths will be on site, so there will be something of interest for most any boater. Hundreds of feet of dock space will host thousands of feet of boats.

With the new venue comes new features, too.

Attendees will have the opportunity to sit in on seminars that will cover various boating-related topics.

A food court and other concessions will sate any

walking-provoked appetites.

And that’s just on-site.

A quick look at Google Maps reveals that the area around Cabrillo Way Marina is full of things to do before or after the show. Nearby is Ports O’ Call Village, which includes shops, restaurants, bars and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute. Just north of that is Battleship USS Iowa Museum, a floating tribute to a U.S. Navy ship with a

With the new venue comes new features. storied past. Just a little south of the show is the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. Just a few miles away is downtown Long Beach and the Queen Mary.

So while attendees and exhibitors can expect all the things they’ve come to recognize about the Newport Beach and Lido boat shows — boats from builders around the world, brokers with intimate knowledge of the local market, equipment and accessories to personalize any boat — the new venue should breathe some vitality into the proceedings, and the surrounding area could make a trip to the boat show a daylong slate of waterfront activities.

CARVER VACUUM INFUSION TECHNOLOGY MEANS LESS WEIGHT, MORE STRENGTH, AND BETTER PERFORMANCE. The key to great performance and better fuel economy is a lighter boat. But we don’t sacrifice strength for performance. To keep our boats lighter and stronger, Carver uses a unique vacuum infused resin technology that draws in a precise amount of resin to saturate the fiberglass laminate rather than “over wetting” like other processes can do.

This state-of-the-art technology eliminates voids and excess fiberglass and resin build-up making the part both lighter and stronger. That’s why we use this technology in the formation of our hulls and most other component parts. Add it all up, and we eliminate hundreds of pounds of excess weight with a yacht that’s stronger and ready to take on the sea.

No wonder Carver is taking the marine industry by storm.

Sea trial one at your Carver Yachts dealer soon.

Advanced technology, combined with traditional craftsmanship, is the hallmark of every Carver Yacht.

Vacuum resin infusion provides a stronger, yet lighter hull for higher speeds and greater fuel economy.

Carver Yachts transferable 2-5-10 Limited Warranty includes 2-year stem-to-stern warranty protection for all Carver systems, components and workmanship, 5-year gelcoat blister warranty protection, and 10-year structural warranty protection for the hull and deck. Ask your Carver dealer for warranty details and requirements.

CARVERYACHTS.COM

Vacuum infusion technology eliminates excess resin build-up by delivering just the right amount of resin to every inch of the part making it stronger and lighter.

LEAD BOAT // FILIPPETTI S55

J.

ITALIAN COOKING

I

TALY’S FILIPPETTI YACHT is less than a decade old,

but its founder, Fausto Filippetti, has been involved in the Italian yachting industry for more than 35 years. He built his first boat in 1981 and helped launch the Pershing line in 1985. Now under the Filippetti banner, Fausto and his team, which includes two of his children, produce three lines of yachts: Sport, Flybridge and Navetta.

The latest in the Sport line is the S55, a sleek, 56-foot go-machine designed with the aid of Centro Stile Design. With a pair of MAN 1,000 hp diesels, the yacht can reach 46 knots and cruise at 38.

Install the twin Volvo Penta IPS900 diesels with IPS, and top speed is 38 knots, while cruise is around 32.

All that power and speed is great, but the boat will also serve as a nice entertaining platform, with room for 14 people to sit comfortably, and that’s without counting the sunpad up front that could accommodate three or four people. The main deck is a nice one-level space from the transom sunpad to the starboard-side helm station. With the bulkhead door and windows open, socializing is possible from inside to out. The tinted, angled, sunglasses-like windows keep the interior light and provide an illusion of movement at all times.

Even the hull windows are canted slightly forward.

Belowdecks are three staterooms, including an amidships master that spans the 15-foot, 3-inch beam, two heads and a galley.

The Filippetti S55 is definitely a Euro-style yacht, with an aggressive look and performance — thanks to modern diesel power — to match.

Fireboat 20, aka The Protector, which recently assisted in extinguishing the Ruby’s Diner fire on the Seal Beach Pier, was dedicated June 8 at Port of Long Beach Joint Command and Control Center. The Protector, built in Washington, has a laundry list of new features and can discharge 60,000 gallons of water per minute. The other boats in the department’s fleet were built in the mid-1980s and discharge only about 10,000 gallons of water per minute. The boat is 108 feet long and has a Voith Schneider drive system. The Protector was funded in part by federal grant money from the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) as well as Port of Long Beach.

MEXICOREPORT

BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

HOT TIME IN MEXICO IF YOU’RE GOING TO SUMMER OVER IN THE SEA OF CORTEZ, KNOW THE TWO BEST HURRICANE HIDEOUTS.

A

CCORDING TO SEMARNAT (Mexico’s federal bureau of natural resources)

and the Association of Marinas of Mexico, each year, at least 1,500 recreational boats from the U.S. and Canada summer over in Mexican waters.

If you think they’re all skiffs and ski boats on trailers, you’d be surprised. Most are oceangoing liveaboard motoryachts, sportfishers, trawler yachts and cruising sailboats.

Why do so many boats stay down there through summer? Someone asked that question during one of my Mexico cruising seminars in Anacortes, Wash.

WHAT’S THE SUMMER ATTRACTION? “Billfish and dorado are a big deal down there in summer,” said one sportfisherman in my audience, “so we stay down especially for that.” He said he is not drawn by the high-dollar tournaments held at Los Cabos, La Paz and Mazatlan during the summer; rather, that just happens to be when the marlin and big bills are exciting.

Another couple in the audience said they had summered over in Mexico for

the great fishing for so many years that they recently built a vacation home near Cabo San Lucas. “We keep our boat down there year round, but we pull it out when we’re not using it.”

Tourism officials point to Mexico’s wealth of full-service marinas as another major attraction. Veteran cruisers have to agree that marinas with nice amenities — good power, laundry, pool-side restaurants, groceries, boat washing — are almost equal to stateside ones. Same applies to marinas with fuel docks, chandlers and other yacht services.

“It’s cheaper to get my boat hauled out and work done on it while I’m summering over in Mexico,” said another boat owner in the audience.

What else? The low-key resort lifestyle that has grown up around the larger marina areas is one of the biggest attractions for sailors and non-fishing

Balandra Beach, La Paz 18 SEAMAGAZINE.COM SEPTEMBER 2016

+ Sea Mexico Report.indd 18

7/28/16 2:47 PM

powerboaters. La Paz and Mazatlan have the two largest communities of liveaboard gringos in Mexico, and Banderas Bay has hundreds more spread among four marina areas. Most boaters move from one marina to another while exploring dozens of anchorages in different cruising grounds, depending on the seasons. Quite a few are retired and spend at least part of the year soaking up the culture down south, where their savings stretch further.

Not everyone is on vacation. Many boat owners are still working or running businesses in the U.S. or Canada and doing what’s popularly known as “commuter cruising.” They fly back and forth every few months to take care of business or family members, then get their rewards in small batches — relaxing aboard their boat in the tropics.

Mexico’s Temporary Import Permit (TIP) allows foreigners to keep boats down there for as long as 10 years without being there, too, without paying the huge import tax.

AVOIDANCE FACTOR “I’d rather not face that dreaded Baja Bash again for a couple years,” said George, an experienced Mexico cruiser.

He said he’d helped friends bring their coastal cruiser back up the outside of Baja

during the spring.

“I thought it would be good practice for whenever we bring our boat home,” George said. “It was a real bash,” against prevailing northwest winds and seas. He said after that bash, he and his family decided to avoid it by spending another cruising season in Mexico.

For coastal cruisers who can’t comfortably make the trek back north to the U.S. each year, it might make sense to summer over in Mexico until you really need to get the boat home. Again, the TIP allows foreign boats to stay without getting taxed.

HURRICANE HOLES Summering over usually entails keeping the boat inside or at least near one of Mexico’s many unofficial hurricane holes.

Those that are located farther south or on the edge of “hurricane alley” should have a well-baffled entrance and a sling lift or marine ways close by, in order to quickly get all the boats out of the water; they should also have a concrete-floor storage yard safely away from storm surge that has beefy jack stands or mighty chocks.

Puerto Peñasco and Puerto Don Juan are historically the two most reliable hurricane holes, solely because they’re located the farthest north in the Sea of

This map shows the relationship of Puerto Peñasco and Puerto Don Juan in the northern Sea of Cortez. These two hurricane holes are 140 miles apart, very different from each other. Keep them in mind for summering over in safety.

Cortez; hence, they are farthest away from hurricane tracks. Just because someplace is called Puerto doesn’t mean it’s a real port, so let’s take a look at these two very dissimilar bays.

PUERTO PEÑASCO Puerto Peñasco (31 degrees 18.4 minutes north, 113 degrees 33.1 minutes west) in northern Sonora is a small fishing harbor that’s packed with four marinas, three haulout yards, two fuel docks and lots of vessel services. Hills encircling the harbor are covered by a pleasant town of 26,000 (also called Rocky Point) that’s only about 50 miles south of the U.S. border.

If you’re summering over in Puerto Peñasco, the port captain will keep everyone updated on any storms. The marinas offer summer boat-watching services for guests who bus or fly home. But if you stay, you’ll probably enjoy good fishing, strong Wi-Fi, Baskin Robbins’ 31 flavors and air-conditioned restaurants.

PUERTO DON JUAN Puerto Don Juan (28 degrees 57.13 minutes north, 113 degrees 28.68 minutes west) in northern Baja California Norte lies five miles east of Bahia de Los Angeles, a village better known to RV campers as L.A. Bay. This “puerto” Don Juan is a large natural bay with a narrow dog-leg entrance, all surrounded by steep hills that shield the bay 360 degrees from wind and seas.

Except for a few goats and coyotes, Puerto Don Juan is uninhabited and undeveloped.

Yet inside it provides swinging room for 20 yachts — probably 40 if everyone cooperates.

Inside Puerto Don Juan, expect no cell coverage, just crickets and songbirds. But you’re not stuck inside. Nearby are dozens of interesting island anchorages, a dive reef and fishing spots. Take the boat or dinghy over to L.A. Bay for provisions, fuel by jerry jug, to make cell calls, or to bus or fly home.

Wherever you spend the summer, don’t leave your boat unattended at anchor.

Use the savvy mariners’ salutation: Ir en Bonanza — go in fair weather.

CAPTIVATED

BY CRUISING A SIMPLE QUESTION — WHY NOT MORE? — LEADS TO A YACHT PURCHASE AND A BOATING LIFESTYLE.

By Heather Steinberger

7/28/16 2:55 PM

IN HIS 1929 “LETTERS TO A YOUNG POET,” BOHEMIAN-AUSTRIAN WRITER RAINER MARIA RILKE WROTE, “AND THE POINT IS TO LIVE EVERYTHING. LIVE THE QUESTIONS NOW. PERHAPS THEN, SOMEDAY FAR INTO THE FUTURE, YOU WILL GRADUALLY, WITHOUT EVEN NOTICING IT, LIVE YOUR WAY INTO THE ANSWER.” In cruising, as in life, the best way to learn is by doing. One can read the books and do the research, but ultimately, one simply needs to jump in with both feet. Time on the water is the best teacher.

Just ask Alan Fishman. The San Francisco Bay Area physician and his wife took the plunge into the cruising life last year, joining the Cruise Underway to Baja Rally (CUBAR) from San Diego to La Paz, Baja California Sur. They did it without any previous long-range cruising experience — and with a brand-new boat.

Fishman grew up in Philadelphia and spent many happy summer days boating with his family along the south Jersey Shore. By the time he was 24, however, his parents had sold their last boat, and he was firmly focused on his career goals.

“I went to California for my residency, fellowship and practice, and I left boating for a while,” he said. “About 10 years ago, we had a home on Lake Tahoe, which rekindled my interest and passion. We had a 31-foot Formula for about five years, but we were only boating three months a year. I thought, why not more?”

THE SEARCH He and his wife planned to get a boat to keep in the Bay Area. They would use it for short trips and overnight excursions, then perhaps go farther. To prepare, they joined Club Nautique, took powerboat certification courses and began looking at brokerage boats. In the end, however, they settled on a new Beneteau Monte Carlo 4, a sleek 43-footer designed to handle longer cruises, which, thanks to the boat’s hull color and their last name, they christened Blue Fish.

“We liked the contemporary look and feel of the Monte Carlo,” Fishman said. “We also liked the two-stateroom layout, new technology like the pod drives and joystick control, the boat’s fuel efficiency, and its mix of outdoor living spaces and indoor accommodations, which include a lower helm.

“We didn’t want too much boat, because then we’d never leave the marina,” he continued. “This boat was capable and would do a good job.”

They purchased the boat in San Diego in the summer of 2015. While commissioning the vessel, they developed a relationship with their South Coast Yachts delivery captain, who noted that the Fishmans could easily take Blue Fish on the

22 SEAMAGAZINE.COM SEPTEMBER 2016

+ Sea feature template new.indd 22

7/28/16 2:55 PM

upcoming CUBAR. Bruce Kessler, a member of the Del Rey Yacht Club, organized the first CUBAR (then called FUBAR, for Fleet Underway to Baja Rally) in 2007, seeking to give powerboaters an opportunity to experience long-distance cruising to Mexico within the relative safety of a flotilla of approximately 50 boats — including mechanical, communications and medical personnel.

The biennial fall cruise was hosted by Del Rey YC, San Diego YC, Long Beach YC and Newport Harbor YC before becoming a permanent SDYC event. It remains limited to vessels with a minimum range of 450 miles at 8.5 knots, which ensures they can reach each fuel stop.

The captain’s casual observation about the Fishmans’ new boat proved to be a pivotal twist of fate for the couple.

“Our plans changed literally as we were buying the boat,” Fishman said. “All of a sudden, we were going cruising sooner than we planned.”

MAKING READY Fortunately, the MC4 was well appointed for cruising. Fishman did opt to upgrade the boat’s electronics, so they would be more robust and interconnected, incorporating multifunction displays. He also added a water-maker, a dinghy and plenty of equipment spares. Then they tackled provisioning.

“We had to figure out how to fit all our supplies on the boat, and how to manage our storage spaces,” he explained.

Facing a CUBAR run with a new boat and all new systems, Fishman realized he wasn’t confident in his own troubleshooting abilities. The idea of casting off the docklines, pointing Blue Fish’s nose toward the Mexican border and undertaking hundreds of open-water miles without expert guidance was intimidating and, he felt, unwise.

“Most of the CUBAR boats are owner-operated, but the owners are experienced,” he said. “So I decided that we needed to bring a captain. Then my wife

and I could learn how to operate the boat, troubleshoot and make decisions, and it gave me tremendous peace of mind.”

Fishman also recognized that the CUBAR would provide a priceless opportunity to meet other cruisers and learn from them — during prep and along the way.

“Just knowing that you’ll be part of something like this helps you psychologically to take that step,” he said.

SHOVING OFF The 2015 CUBAR kicked off Nov. 11 in San Diego. Almost immediately, the cruisers got a taste of Mother Nature’s unpredictability. As Fishman observed, it was a crazy weather year, with El Niño

with longer-range vessels cruised straight through to San José del Cabo. The fleet reunited there and set its sights on the Nov. 23 finish in La Paz, Baja California Sur’s venerable capital city. Once again, however, Mother Nature showed her teeth.

Hurricane Sandra was on the horizon.

She would become a Category 4 hurricane on Nov. 26 — the strongest November storm on record in the northeastern Pacific. Already the fleet in Los Cabos was facing strong winds and 5- to 8-foot seas out of the north.

Instead of bashing northward to Marina CostaBaja, many cruisers opted to head east and hole up on the Mexican mainland.

Fishman and his wife chose to leave their

“We had big wind coming, so we had to make changes to our plans on the fly,” Fishman said. “Everyone had to make his or her own decision about leaving Ensenada before the weekend.”

Instead of sticking to the planned itinerary and enjoying a couple of festive nights in the city known as the Cinderella of the Pacific, Fishman and his crew chose to head south for Turtle Bay and shelter at Bahía Santa Maria.

“In the end, you’re in charge,” Fishman said. “The group is fun socially, and you can learn a lot, but the group doesn’t make a difference when it comes to decision-making and self-sufficiency. The CUBAR made that clear to me. You take in all the information, but then you have to make the call for your own boat, based on your own experience level.”

To stay ahead of the weather, owners 24

boat in San José del Cabo, fly home and then return a week later when the captain moved the vessel to La Paz. “We got to La Paz in early December and kept the boat there until May,” Fishman said. “We averaged one trip every three weeks, with five to 12 days aboard each time.

It was incredible. La Paz is a great town.”

ENJOYING THE CRUISING LIFE As the Fishmans explored the Sea of Cortez, they quickly realized the difference between passagemaking and coastal cruising. They loved the latter. The former?

Not quite as much.

“When we were at Bahía Santa Maria during the rally, we spent five days waiting out the wind,” Fishman recalled, adding with a chuckle, “We ran three and a half or four days straight with one short stop, and my wife was thinking, this is horrible. She said, ‘From now on, I’ll let you cruise down, and I’ll fly down and meet you!’”

passagemaker. It’s not what we’ll do every day, and I have no desire to cross oceans,” he said. “We spent five nights at anchor in the Sea of Cortez, and we loved that, because you don’t have to travel 200 miles between destinations. But I do like a boat that can be moved around — from the Bay Area to San Diego, from Ensenada to La Paz — and is capable of making those passages. Then we can see and do new things in all the different locations.”

For that reason, the Fishmans decided to sell their yacht and look at larger brokerage boats. They’ve learned they would like a boat with a 1,000-mile range at 9 knots, lazarettes to accommodate full-size bikes, plenty of storage for gear and equipment, more headroom in the master stateroom, a full-size refrigerator in the galley, a stabilizer, and two water-makers instead of one.

Looking back, Fishman said the MC4 was the right boat for the right time, and CUBAR was a great way to test the cruising lifestyle.

“If I’d looked at 60- or 70-foot boats then, it would’ve been nuts!” he said. “It would have prevented me from going out. This boat felt manageable, and then with the captain and cruising rally, we were able to learn what we needed to know. Spending so much time on board your own boat gives you a different level of appreciation. You won’t even get that from chartering.”

The Fishmans are currently building their new list of cruising goals. If they buy a boat on the West Coast, they’ll participate in the 2017 CUBAR and perhaps go on to Central America. If they buy one on the East Coast, they’ll spend a couple of years there and take the opportunity to explore the Florida Keys and the Bahamas.

“We can fly to meet it wherever it is, and move it here later,” Fishman said.

“Flexibility is important. It’s your boat, and you can move it around to suit your schedule.”

In the end, cruising is a deeply personal experience. Needs and wants aren’t the same for any two boaters, and the only way to chart the right course for you is to jump in, even with all your questions. As the Fishmans discovered, you eventually will live your way into the answers.

often used for winterizing purposes. Once exposed to alcohol, PVC hoses turn gummy and can be prone to permeation. And if you’re buying a new boat, ask what sort of hose was used. Some builders use the cheapest they can find, and it may quickly become permeated. Ideally, where possible, rigid PVC pipe should supplant hose; it essentially lasts forever and is permeation proof.

Poor installation practices can also lead to odors. The most common problem is a dip or a valley in an effluent hose.

In some cases, these are unavoidable, but trim excess hose to eliminate low areas that can trap liquids. In such spots, odor permeation can set in with a vengeance.

Another flaw in sanitation-system design worthy of mention is the holding tank. Ideally, holding tanks should be made from such nonmetallic materials as vinylester, epoxy-based fiberglass or polyethylene. Aluminum and even stainless steel aren’t well suited to containment of caustic effluent, as they suffer, respectively, from poultice and crevice corrosion.

Finally, the hose connections on holding tanks should be located on a horizontal surface rather than on a side or bottom. Side and bottom connections ensure that a section of hose will always be submerged in effluent — with predictable results.

Where possible, rigid PVC pipe should supplant hose.

AVOID PROBLEMS AT THE YARD

 As the height of the season leaves us in

its wake, boat owners start thinking about repairs and upgrades the boat might need.

Some owners have a yard they've been using for years, while others are looking for somewhere new. With that in mind, we decided to run some advice from the License #0E32738

folks at BoatUS, based on its survey of its BoatUS Dispute Resolution files.

Get it in writing: Get a written estimate before work begins, and remember that it is an approximation of how much the job will cost. If work may go beyond the estimated price, you can always direct the shop to obtain your authorization before proceeding with unforeseen repairs.

60 or 90 days are all typical. Ask if parts and labor are included. Don’t wait until after the warranty expires to check the repairs.

Take photos: It’s always good to take a few “before” time-stamped photos of your boat in the shop. Accidents do sometimes happen, and you may need before and after damage photos to show the shop damage took place and file an insurance claim.

Languish at your peril: Stay informed about repairs. While there are legitimate delays due to seasonality, parts sourcing, weather, and personnel, if you think you are getting put off, you probably are.

Inspect, inspect and inspect: Ensure each bit of repair work matches the actual invoice. If you do have a dispute with the final bill, you’re in better legal shape if you pay it in full, preferably on a credit card, and then file a complaint with the shop and/or your credit card company.

A note about end-of-season repairs: Sea trials must take place during the warranty period, which has sometimes caused problems for BoatUS members who put their boat away for the winter before ensuring the repairs are satisfactory. Any open issues found in the springtime will likely come out of the boat owner’s wallet.

A LITTLE INPUT

 Your July 2106 issue just arrived, and I was reading your very appropriate article on GFCI outlets (Circuit, Interrupted, p.

22). Your writer gave a good non-technical description of the device and the need for regular testing, but made one error (IMHO) and one omission. The error is that it’s not likely that a circuit breaker will trip if you get shocked by touching the hot wire since the current will be minimal — much less than the trip rating of the circuit breaker.

The omission is that there are inexpensive plug-in testers that will allow testing of the GFCI and all downstream protected outlets. I have one at home and one on the boat, and test all GFCI outlets regularly. It also tests for reversed connections, missing grounds, and other related problems.

GRINDING GRID’S GEARS

JURY RIGGING ENGINES — AND LANGUAGE I'M NO GEORGE CARLIN, BUT have you noticed that men, probably due to their hormonal composition, seem to resolve most problems with a hammer?

“Flippin’ nail is sticking up a tad; gimme that claw hammer!”

“Starter’s just spinning, not engaging; gimme the 12-ounce ball-peen.” “But dad, right on the starter it says ‘Do not strike with hard object.’” “Don’t worry, son, I’ll just give it a little love tap.”

“Tony the Tuna is getting just a little close to finding our stash. I think he needs disappearing.” (That’s past pluperfect subjunctive, I think.)

Actually, some things are best, and only, resolved with hammers. A few years ago, I told you about the long-term loan of my father’s tiny ball-peen hammer to a customer so he could save some bucks by tapping a carb bowl to realign a stuck float needle rather than buy a new carburetor.

(Caveat: Do not try this at home!) With the money he saved, he and his wife took a luxury cruise (not inviting The Nurse and me as their guests), during which time they were in a big storm in the Atlantic. The

following day, Sam asked the chief engineer how the ship had fared. The chief allowed as one engine had problems, but “the guys” were working on it. Sam suggested he do what Sam’s mechanic told him to do: hit it with a hammer. Sam said it worked every time. The chief just walked away.

The other day I’m telling Sam’s story to a friend who was way up in the hierarchy of an airline that was bought, sold, mortgaged, leveraged, then got disappeared (see definition above). Pete then filled me in on the

early Boeing jets that used compressed air to start the engines. A valve — apparently looking much like a car-engine’s valve — would stick open and allow the air to escape, and a non-start situation ensued. One enterprising young man discovered that if he tapped the top of the valve with a leather hammer, it sprung closed and the engine was able to start. But still a problem! How to write what he did to cure the problem?

Whacking a $7 million engine with a maul hardly seemed the basis for job security. The wonderful English language to the rescue: the mechanic “malletized” the valve.

Don’t you just love it? A story from 50 years ago has given service writers a word that’s worth an additional $20/hour labor rate, and you a word to look for on the RO as the cure for your inoperative dash gauges.

Let me know the words like “malletize” you’ve encountered. There’s Webster’s and Funk & Wagnall’s for the literary world.

BY ZUZANA PROCHAZKA

SWIFT TRAWLER 30 SMALL IS THE NEW BIG THANKS TO CLEVER THINKING AND DESIGN.

M

ICRO HOUSES SEEM to be getting a lot of publicity lately, including entire shows on

TV, but what about micro boats? When a small boat can do almost everything that a big one can, and it costs less to buy, maintain and moor, it’s time to rethink size and debate whether micro could be the next big thing.

The 30-foot baby of Beneteau’s Swift Trawler family has come to our shores, and this trawler packs a punch. I took a ride with Barrett Canfield of South Coast Yachts in San Diego on the first hull on the West Coast. Currently, this model is brought over from France, but Beneteau plans to build them in its Marion, S.C., facility soon, which may make lead times shorter.

ON DECK The smaller the platform, the more creative the builder must get, and both the interior and exterior of the Swift Trawler 30 show some ingenious thinking. For example, the aft cockpit is packed with thoughtful and functional details. First, it can be expanded by opening up the transom doors both port and starboard, creating a nice walkthrough from the salon to the fixed swim platform aft. Two folding seats are integrated into the swing-out

To starboard is the ladder up to the flybridge. To use it, angle it farther aft so it’s easier to ascend or descend. When done, just slide it up against the three-panel glass sliding door and lock it out of the way.

The Swift Trawler 30 is asymmetrical with the cabin house offset to port, which makes the starboard deck the wider path to the bow. Up this side is a hinged door in the hull for easy side boarding. It’s also near the door that leads inside to the helm, so the driver can step out onto the deck and then right onto the dock with a line in hand.

Two steps lead from the sidedecks up to the bow where there is a double sunpad (with cupholders, of course) and the optional Quick electric windlass.

WAY UP TOP Given the sunpad forward and the clever cockpit aft, there’s a lot of outside space, but that’s only part of the story. This micro

bigger than 30 feet. transom sections. With the seats open and the salon table brought outdoors, the cockpit is a nice alfresco dining area.

The cockpit has other hidden features, such as a built-in hot/cold freshwater shower and the handle for a Whale Gusher manual bilge pump. My favorite is the telescoping Besenzoni dinghy davits that are integrated into the transom corners.

They stay tucked away until deployed.

trawler has a flybridge with a single helm seat to starboard and an L-shaped settee to port. Four can sit comfortably here, but five will be a squeeze on this settee that doubles as companion seating underway.

On the flybridge, our test boat was equipped with a 16-inch Raymarine eSeries HybridTouch multifunction display (MFD) and bow and stern thruster controls on the dash, as well as a seven-foot radar mast

INCLUSIVE INTERIOR Speaking of the main helm, it’s really quite well organized. Situated forward of the salon to starboard, it’s accessible directly via that great side door. Unlike the wheel up top, the vertical leather-clad destroyer wheel at the lower helm feels good and looks shippy. The dash is well laid out with a nine-inch Raymarine eSeries MFD (I’d opt for a 16-inch one like on the flybridge), thruster controls, engine throttle, rudder angle indicator, and various system switches. Get familiar with the Lenco electric trim tabs, because the horizon disappears briefly when the bow rises as the boat comes out of the hole.

Across from the helm and down the port side is the galley. Near the forward bulkhead is the two-burner stove. Our test boat had a ceramic Kenyon stove but the standard is propane, which I prefer because I hate to have to fire up the generator just to make coffee in the morning.

Twin sinks, a microwave/convection oven and a Vitrifrigo under-counter refrigerator are standard. I’d opt for the second half-refrigerator, to increase cold storage capacity.

that makes a good handhold when moving about in a seaway.

The flybridge makes the boat feel much bigger than 30 feet. Canfield likes to call this the “leisure helm,” as he doesn’t expect anyone to drive long distances from up here. This station will most likely be used when pulling up to a mooring with crew on the bow or while harbor cruising, but the bulk of the driving and docking will be done using the lower helm.

The salon has one long straight sofa along the starboard side. The seat is very deep and when I pressed my back up against the backrest, my feet dangled. Due to its depth, this sofa makes a very comfortable bed for one in its normal configuration. However, the seat also slides out and the backrest lowers to create a 50-inch-by-76-inch bed that sleeps two adult-sized guests. Three

A smaller platform forced Beneteau designers to get creative, from the clever use of space in the main cabin to items such as the portable salon table and the flybridge ladder, which locks in place against the glass sliding door.

ACCOMMODATIONS Our test boat had a one-cabin, one-head layout with the master three steps down from the main deck and through a double door that is split down the middle. Here, the center island bed (60 by 78 inches) has small steps on either side and is actually an elegant improvement over the V-berth bunk on the Swift Trawler 34.

It’s a very bright stateroom thanks to

with our own wake, and at one point, we did place the boat broadside to these while switching from the lower helm to the upper. We had to hang on up on the flybridge, but down below the movement was manageable.

Running with the wind with two people aboard, we reached a maximum speed of 21.6 knots at 3500 rpm, at which point the boat was getting 1 nautical mile per gallon.

The boat settles into the 1 mpg slot around 2600 rpm and stays there all the way up to wide-open throttle.

soft-close drawers below the sofa provide good stowage. A curtain on a track that runs the perimeter of the interior provides privacy, so the salon converts to a guest cabin in less than a minute.

Four people will fit around the portable dining table, but with elbows flying, only two really have room to eat comfortably. The table secures to the cabin sole with a bolt that is removable, making the table portable.

Two wooden, cushion-topped boxes are included. They do double duty as stowage compartments and as seats for guests.

The headroom in the salon is 6 feet, 5 inches, and the finish on our boat was an Alpi wood mahogany. A Bose stereo

an opening hatch overhead and a round opening portlight on either side embedded into two huge rectangular ports that are at eye level of folks in bed. A quick check of the anchorage is possible without ever getting up.

Two lockers provide a bit of stowage as does a large compartment below the mattress. That said, a couple will have to be frugal with their clothing, because unlike the salon, places to stuff personal items are a bit scarce in the stateroom. The headroom is 6 feet, 6 inches, which is really impressive on a compact cruiser.

The head is split, with the electric toilet and sizable rectangular sink to starboard and a very large separate shower compartment with a seat to port. The shower can be used as a wet locker or even to store larger items such as folding bikes. It’s a big space, and if it were eight inches narrower it would still be sizeable but would create room to put another locker in the master stateroom.

PERFORMANCE Our test day was a sunny, warm Southern California afternoon with 10 to 12 knots of breeze on the flat water of San Diego Bay — basically ideal conditions for this kind of boat. The only waves we encountered were the ones we generated

it can reach in nine seconds. A comfortable cruise is at 14 to 15 knots, which beats the pants off most trawlers. At seven knots you can go over six hundred miles and still have a small fuel reserve.

The engine room is accessed via a hatch in the salon sole and has plenty of room to work all around the single 370 hp Volvo Penta D6 diesel that has a straight shaft drive. An optional (and in my opinion necessary) 7.5 kw genset costs $21,000, but it will save a lot of wear and tear on the main engine.

The lower helm is perfectly comfortable for longer runs and has easier deck access for docking. Using the bow thruster, Canfield expertly docked stern-to by standing outside on the starboard deck where he had good visibility forward and aft and could still reach the helm and bow thruster with his right hand. Then, it was just a step through the side door to put on the dock lines.

The base price of the Swift Trawler 30 is $274,200, and our very loaded test boat is offered by South Coast Yachts for $395,000. According to Canfield, most well-equipped versions will cost between $350,000 and $375,000. Compare that with other small trawlers and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

AZIMUT 60

THE NEW ITALIAN HEARTTHROB IS STYLISH, FAST, RETRO AND MODERN ALL AT ONCE.

A

SLEEK ITALIAN IS in town. No, it’s not a sports car. It’s not even the latest big-screen heartthrob. It is, in fact, a stylish 60-foot motoryacht from Azimut that can get everywhere quickly and make a statement when it arrives.

In late 2012, Azimut refreshed its 58-foot design and re-launched it as the Azimut 60 Flybridge, which is still positioned toward the middle of the Italian builder’s 12-model fleet, which ranges from 42 to 100 feet.

Although the design was based on the same hull and propulsion package as its predecessor, the new model benefited from a few tweaks and updated styling that have given it a contemporary appeal.

The exterior styling of Stefano Righini

you may fantasize about weekending aboard in St. Tropez, perhaps surrounded by buzzing paparazzi.

DECK DUTY As on many other models, the swim platform on the Azimut is hydraulic and serves as a teak beach when it’s partially submerged. Unlike on other 60-foot models, however, the platform is a standard feature, which represents a good value. You

Three rectangular windows appear on both sides, just about in the middle of the hull. Azimut was among the first to use this aesthetic to bring light into the master stateroom below, and their angular shape is in sharp contrast to the swoopy and irregular cabinhouse windows above, as Amizut mixes it up a bit with the profile.

The flybridge is topped by a composite arch and has Cadillac-style fins on the aft-most side sections of the overhang. They add a retro vibe, as do the additional and traditional round portlights in the forward sections of the hull.

The windshield of the cabinhouse is raked back at a significant angle, adding to the perception of movement and hinting at the yacht’s speed. This is a very modern-looking motoryacht — the kind

can use it for easy boarding from the dock or to carry a tender or PWC. The platform also provides access to the crew quarters via a door built into the transom. This space will accommodate two normally, but only one when the optional Seakeeper stabilizer is added.

To port are steps that lead up to the cockpit, and to starboard is a passarelle that would connect the main deck level to a dock in a Med-mooring situation — not something West Coast boaters deal with very much. However, capstans both port and starboard could come in handy for hauling in a stern anchor or a mooring line, and because they are mounted at near waist level, there won’t be much bending over or straining your back.

A straight seat for four is built across the transom. With the optional table and some freestanding chairs, this would make a nice

place for an alfresco dinner, since the area is mostly protected by the hardtop formed by the flybridge deck. Gates on both sides allow boarding or disembarking when the boat is lying alongside a dock.

Again to port are steps and a nice-sized handrail that lead from the cockpit up to the flybridge. Here, nearly the entire starboard half is dedicated to a dinette and an extra lounge that also serves as the companion seat. To port is an L-shaped console with an optional grill and a wet bar for entertaining. It sits just aft of the helm station where there is a double seat and a comprehensive dash with a single Raymarine multifunction display and switches for key systems. Using the arch as an attachment point, the entire forward section can be enclosed, from the small reverse windshield to the open deck aft where there is enough space for a nine-foot RIB and an optional 550-pound davit.

From the helm, the captain has good visibility forward over the double sunpad on the bow and to the anchoring area. A camera will come in handy for viewing the aft corners when backing up. Raymarine backing, engine and thermal cameras are optional. This is a big flybridge that will entice many guests to linger over sundowner cocktails. If enclosed, it makes an all-weather room with the best views of the anchorage.

IMAGINATIVE INTERIOR Inside, more changes were added to enhance the aesthetics and comfort. I stepped through the glass sliding door into a salon where the windows have been enlarged to let in even more light. The high-contrast colors of the upholstery and wood finishes had a striking effect. An L-shaped settee is to port while to starboard owners have the choice of a built-in entertainment center or an additional sofa with just a corner unit to house the flatscreen TV. Two steps lead up to the dinette to starboard, which will accommodate four people easily, and is across from the

U-shaped galley to port, which has become the focal point of the interior. Unlike on its other models, Azimut chose to keep the galley open, so the chef is integral to the social scene. The half bulkheads that form it are rounded, to create a unique visual appeal, almost like the styling of a retro diner, but they will also help cut down on boat bites. In fact, the entire inward bulkhead forms a soft curve and is topped by a useful stainless handrail that adds to the design as well as the functionality.

I felt the heat radiating from the sloping windshield as I sat down at the single centerline helm seat. Due to its angle, the expanse of glass generates quite a bit of solar heat, and there is no sunroof overhead to mix in cooler air. To starboard is a companion seat, and to port steps lead down to the cabins. The dash ahead is impressive with twin Raymarine G Series MFDs separated by a panel of gauges above the wheel at the center. The Xenta joystick and engine throttles are to starboard. The Azimut 60 is not a pod-driven model, but it does have the builder’s Easy Docking feature, which integrates side thrusters and the engines to let you maneuver in tight quarters like a pro.

ACCOMMODATIONS Below, there are three cabins and two heads. The VIP stateroom forward has a centerline queen bed and an overhead hatch for air and light. The centermost of the three hull ports on either side also opens for even better ventilation. This cabin shares the second head with the twin stateroom to starboard.

Overall, there’s adequate access to key systems for quick basic maintenance. There is no upgrade option for the propulsion, but there is no need for bigger engines, as our test on San Diego Bay proved.

I headed out with Peter Zaleski of MarineMax on a typical Southern California day. The bay was flat and the breeze was 8 to 10 knots. Zaleski demonstrated the ease of maneuvering from either helm and with the Yacht Controller joystick remote. Tight slips will not be your nemesis.

We topped out at 31.1 knots at 2300 rpm while burning 87.7 gph at wide-open throttle. A reasonable cruising speed can be found between 1800 and 2000 rpm and 21 to 26 knots, where fuel burn is roughly 51 and 67 gph, respectively. Depending on your point of departure, say between Newport Beach and Long Beach, you could be to Catalina Island in just 70 to 90 minutes.

I noted that we came up on plane in 14 seconds just as we passed 16 knots. On plane, we made gradual turns where the boat put its shoulder down and sliced through the water without any skidding or slipping. We made graceful S-turns that weren’t sharp or drastic but rather slow and even. The wind was low and there was no chop in the bay, making the ride as smooth as silk.

INTO THE

CRUISE THE SACRAMENTO RIVER DELTA NOW AND BE REWARDED WITH FALL COLOR AND A STEP BACK IN TIME.

Delta

// BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

The Golden Gate Bridge to Sacramento’s historic waterfront?

That’s an easy 80- to 100-mile cruise, even for oceangoing yachts that draw 10 feet. Recreational boaters have free access to the California Delta’s vast system of navigable waterways that allows them to voyage far inland — deep into California’s wet and wild heart.

The Delta’s broad-leaved trees start turning their fall colors in late September — glowing yellow aspens, dark orange gums and blood red maples — and they’re a stunning sight mixed in with the many dark green pines. Most years, the spectacle doesn’t fade until late October. Yearning for fall color? Come here.

The Sacramento, San Joaquin and American rivers all cascade out of the snowcapped Sierras, merging in the central lowlands with the Calaveras, Cosumnes and Mokelumne rivers. They meander gently through a 1,300-square-mile valley that’s vaguely triangular; hence, it’s called the Delta. The Sonoma Coastal Range to the northwest shields the inland valley from the worst of the Pacific winter weather.

Unlike the big cities on its perimeter — San Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton — the Delta is surprisingly rural, like stepping back into the 1950s.

Thanks to an 1,100-mile labyrinth of tranquil recreational waterways, it’s a boating paradise. Of the half million adults who live in the Delta, more than 170,000 are registered boat owners. More than 40 marinas, yacht clubs and boat clubs are active, and more than 100 ramps and trailer parking lots are available.

Cruising the Sacramento River Delta in September and October will yield such sights as (clockwise from opposite page bottom) the Stockton waterfront, the Golden Gate Bridge, the historical Tower Bridge in Sacramento and all the fall color you can handle.

Nothing could be finer than to anchor in the shade of a spreading tree and take a little siesta.

T

An Abundance of Everything

he rivers wander slowly through the Delta, forming lazy bends and marshy sloughs and defining more than 50 significant islands. Highway 15 is the only major road to cut across the Delta, so some of the islands are only reachable via one of the tiny four-car ferries — or a boat. Fortunately, several islands in the Delta are preserved by California State Parks for public boating, fishing and camping.

Vineyards, vegetable farms and orchards (fruit, nuts) fill most of the private islands; agriculture is the primary occupation, with recreational tourism a close second. In the fall, pumpkins and cornstalks decorate the farmer’s market stands that sell organic garden produce and local berry jams in Courtland, Walnut Grove and across from Rio Vista — fun for impromptu provisioning.

Eventually the rivers all flow downstream toward the ocean. Expect a 1- or 2-knot current, depending on rainfall and snowmelt. But some of the lower routes on the San Joaquin River and almost all of the Sacramento River are affected by the rise and fall of ocean tides. The variation between high and low tide can be as much as eight feet, but four to six feet is more common. Get the latest tide book or consult online data.

Locks and dams control seasonal flooding and conserve Delta water for local agriculture and recreation. Manmade levees five to 15 feet tall reinforce many shorelines, and are usually topped by wild flowers and trees. From a boat, you can’t always see over the top of the levees, so it feels like you’re cruising through a forest.

Nothing could be finer than to anchor in the shade of a spreading tree and take a little siesta. If you plan to anchor out overnight in the Delta, consider that in late fall and early winter, the “tule” fogs can sometimes develop at sunset and not burn off until after sunrise.

Bridges cross many of the waterways, so plan your route using one of the excellent charts and guidebooks, to see which bridges are fixed, their height at high and low tide, and which are swing or bascule bridges. Between the Golden SEAMAGAZINE.COM SEPTEMBER 2016

The meandering waterways of the Delta create countless islands and opportunities for exploration.

Gate and the Rio Vista Bridge, the bridges are plenty tall, to allow ships to pass freely, so yachts are fine. But after Rio Vista, if you need a bridge to open, the local signal is one long and one short blast, or call the bridge tender on VHF Channel 9. (See sidebar for Charts and Guides.)

L

Sacramento with 10 Feet

et’s look briefly at the barebones 100-mile route that bigger yachts (draft to 10 feet) can use to reach Sacramento’s historic waterfront. It’s the most basic route, so for a fun cruise you’ll want to make lots of pleasant stops and add a few side loops.

From the Golden Gate Bridge, it’s about 40 miles through San Francisco, San Pablo and the south side of Suisun bays to find the confluence of the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers near Pittsburg. Here, angle northeast into the broad Sacramento River. It’s 13 miles to the town of Rio Vista and the landmark Rio Vista Bridge. But one and a half miles farther upstream is Cliffhouse Shoals to starboard, where a hard right turn takes you into the Sacramento River’s much narrower natural bed. (Don’t use the commercial ship channel.)

From here to the Sacramento waterfront, the Sacramento River is only 400 to 600 feet wide between levees and natural shorelines. But even with the marked shoals, that’s reassuringly wide enough for recreational boat traffic. Lining the shore and tucked into side bays are more than a dozen marinas and yacht clubs with guest docks, public landings with dinghy docks, and quiet little corners to anchor overnight, as long as you don’t swing out into the middle. Ashore are many pleasant little villages that cling to their 1880’s Gold Rush history. You’ll find casual restaurants, small grocery stores, antiques shops and wineries with tasting rooms.

Ashore are many pleasant little villages that cling to their 1880’s Gold Rush history.

Mileage from here on is cumulative, so every few miles you can plan an array of interesting sights to see and overnight stops.

From Cliffhouse Shoals, you can make it to Isleton public docks (2.75 n.m.), the Isleton Bridge (3.65), Ryde and the Ryde Hotel docks (8.34), and the junction with Georgianna Slough (10). (As a picturesque side loop, traverse narrow Georgianna Slough and go five miles south to Oxbow Marina and a little farther where it joins the Mokelumne River at Vorman’s Landing.)

Back on the Sacramento, the Walnut Grove Bridge (10.5), the Walnut Grove docks (11), the Delta Cross Channel Flood Gates (11.5) and the docks at historic Locke (12) are close together and interesting enough for a few days of exploration.

Back underway, you’ll find the junction with Steamboat Slough (16.2), the Paintersville Bridge (17), the junction with Sutter Creek Slough (17.5), the Courtland winery docks (18), Hood (21.5), the junction with Elk Slough (24), and the Clarksburg winery tour docks (24.3). Ten good wineries thrive in the Delta, and they’re mostly right here.

Continuing on the Sacramento, the trip can include Silver Bend (25.5), the Freeport Bridge (27.7), the Freeport docks (28), the Sacramento city limits (29), Yolo Marina (31.4), the Davis Pumpkin Patch at Riverview (35), Sherwood Harbor (37.5), Sacramento Yacht Club (37.5), Sacramento Marina Harbor (39.6), the Interstate 805 Bridge (41), the Sacramento Tower Bridge docks (42), and the Historic Sacramento Waterfront Pier and guest docks (43).

Old Sacramento’s State Historic Park is a terrific destination. Easily explored on foot or by pedicab, the 10-block park has a riverfront promenade with benches and bike paths, fountains and restaurants. The Old Sacramento School House Museum at the park’s south end is a hit with teachers and astounds young students. At the north end, the huge California-Pacific Railroad Museum has interactive features for kids of all ages. Climb through antique engines and sleeper cars, inspect the dining cars’

china and silver, or pull the levers and blow the steam horns.

San Joaquin to Stockton

O

n the more circuitous San Joaquin River, deep-draft yachts (10 feet or less) could cruise all the way to the marina district in Stockton’s western suburbs, mostly following the well-marked 20-foot-deep ship channel. But this 35-mile direct route still has many opportunities to peel off to explore side channels, to fish and to watch wildlife in the massive tule sloughs.

The San Joaquin is especially popular for trailerboats and shallower draft yachts.

Starting at the Pittsburg confluence, bear southeast to enter New York Slough, which runs along the south side of Browns and Winter islands. Go under the I-160 bridge and aim northeast along the shores of Jersey and Bradford islands. At buoy #28, bear right — continuing straight leads to Three Mile Slough, which is a connecter to the Sacramento, but it has a couple of shallow spots.

Continue around the north shore of Bradford Island and Web Tract to port. To starboard is the Delta Loop, which includes 10 marinas and is one of the most popular areas because it is accessible from Highway 15 and has many spots to pull in and have lunch.

With the Delta Loop in your wake, curve south along the west shore of Venice Island to arrive at the crossroads: Mandeville Cut and Venice Cut. Fourth of July fireworks are set off here, and it’s a popular rendezvous spot throughout the year.

Continue southeast from this crossroads and look for a series of range markers, which guide recreational boats (and a few small ships) for the next 10 miles through the Stockton Deep Water Channel, which has 30 feet of water in the center. This channel moves southeast upstream and delivers boaters to Stockton’s marina district.

Meanwhile, along this 10-mile channel are many small islands, including San Francisco Yacht Club’s annex at Tinsley Island. Any island with a sandy beach is ideal for a family picnic and swimming. (Boats with a shallower draft can navigate Disappointment Slough and all around Empire, King and Rindge islands, accessing dozens of tiny islands with raft-up anchorages, swimming holes and picnic beaches.)

A dozen side channels meander off to the north and south of the Stockton Channel, as they’re forming oxbow loops. These side loops are great places for daytime watersports or peaceful overnight anchoring. If you see the Delta’s ubiquitous tule rushes, expect to catch largemouth bass and find excellent bird watching. However, the tules are not so wonderful for overnight anchoring, due to mosquitoes.

T

What to Do?

he Delta’s tranquil waterways are perfect for year-round fishing, waterskiing, kayaking or paddleboarding and, of course, slow cruising, anchoring, or stepping ashore to see the sights. You can anchor just about anywhere, as long as you don’t block the waterway. Exploring by car or bike can be rewarding, because asphalt roads run atop many of the levees that frame the islands.

Two tiny but historic car ferries are still in operation here. CalTrans operates the J Mack ferry across Steamboat Slough at Howard’s Landing, which has room for about four cars at a time. The Real McCoy ferry across the Sacramento River just north of Rio Vista carries a few trucks as well. The tiny ferries run 24/7 and are free.

Birdwatchers flock here in the fall to see 10,000 Sand Hill cranes and Canada geese. Their Pacific flyway traverses the Delta, so the birds always stop here. During wet years, farmers may flood their fields to welcome the giant honkers, helping to ensure their critical habitat. Sand Hill cranes mix right in with the Canada geese, so look for the red necks on the Sand Hills. Starkly white egrets or garzas hang out with the migratory birds, too.

all is for colorful trees, and the balmiest weather arrives in early September and lasts through mid-October. A unique local form of fog, called tule fog, can develop overnight in late October through December, but it usually burns off with the sun. Sacramento is usually a couple of degrees warmer than Stockton, where the daytime highs in October average 73 degrees Fahrenheit and overnight lows are 49 degrees.

Larger yacht clubs in the Delta stay open year round and put on Christmas and New Year’s events, including dinners and lighted boat parades. However, some of the smaller boat clubs close down from October through March.

CLEAN FUEL, HAPPY BOAT

Diesel engines are tireless workhorses, but they’re finicky about their fuel, so do what’s necessary to keep things clean and dry.

M

ost boat owners have heard a self-professed dock guru at their marina quote an old saw: “All a diesel engine needs to run forever is clean fuel and air.” Strangely enough — unlike his advice about using Freon to clear a clogged head — this adage actually has merit. According to national repair statistics, nine out of the 10 most likely diesel engine problems will be the result of contaminated fuel. Learn how to keep your fuel system in top condition — and yourself from becoming a statistic.

DIESEL FUEL & SO MUCH MORE! One of the major differences between gasoline and diesel engines is the way they use fuel. Gasoline is simply a fuel that’s burned to produce heat and power, but diesel fuel does much more, which is why keeping it clean is so critical. In addition to producing power, it acts as a lubricant, which is why it feels oily. Diesel engines circulate more fuel than is needed to produce power, and the extra fuel not only helps lubricate the engine but also carries away excess heat.

Like the self-professed dock guru says, the key to keeping your diesel engine happy is clean fuel. While gasoline engines may shake and sputter a bit while doing so, they can normally burn through a little water in the fuel. Not diesels. They may be more robust, but they have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to water or other particulates.

The reason for the clean fuel hubbub has to do with a diesel engine’s injectors. Fuel injectors are precision-tuned components that deliver a precise, ultra-fine mist into the combustion chamber. They don’t like contaminants one bit, and even microscopic specks of dirt or water can wreak havoc on the combustion process (as well as your injectors and, consequently, junior’s college fund).

FILTERS: FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE While you, of course, want to avoid taking on fuel from a questionable source, it’s best to assume that even the fuel at the best marinas will contain at least some traces of dirt and water, which is why having and maintaining a proper onboard filtration system is so critical.

Most diesel fuel systems will contain a large primary filter mounted near the engine, perhaps on a bulkhead, and a

smaller secondary filter mounted on the engine itself. The primary filter does the lion’s share of fuel filtration, while the finer mesh secondary unit does the cleanup work by filtering out any microscopic particles of grit and water that sneak past the primary.

Most larger diesels will have a second primary filter plumbed into the fuel system, via a manifold or crossover switch, which allows a clogged filter to be changed underway. It’s an excellent setup for any

diesel. Just be sure to carry plenty of extra primary and secondary filter elements.

And it would help to know how to replace them out on the water and how to bleed the engine’s fuel system — a common requirement whenever you change a filter.

Primary filters should have a clear sediment bowl, to make visual checks for evidence of water or sediment in the fuel easy and fast. Checking the bowl should be part of a daily routine while cruising, and if you spot water or contaminants in the bowl, drain it using the plug at the bottom.

Having to drain a filter more than every 80 to 100 hours of engine run time is an indication the tank may need to be cleaned.

The fuel filters themselves should be changed when they’re dirty, but definitely prior to affecting engine performance.

One way to stave off trouble is to replace the filters at regular intervals based on the engine manufacturer’s recommendations (e.g., a given amount of hours or annually).

A more accurate way to monitor filter performance is to install a vacuum gauge at the primary filter. The gauge provides a visual representation of fuel flow restriction through the primary filter or, conversely, how hard it is for the engine to suck fuel through it. The higher the gauge pressure, the more clogged the filter is and the more immediate the need for replacement.

ESSENTIALS To help ensure a safe and uninterrupted passage, be sure to carry spare components, which can include (from left to right) a fuel filter water separator, other appropriate filters — e.g. from Volvo (cutaway) or an H2Out (blue) — and a funnel filter.

Diesel engines don’t like contaminants one bit.

Filtration systems are the first line of defense against fuel contamination

As the primary filter captures the majority of contaminants, the generally accepted rule is that the secondary filter need only be changed at every other primary filter change.

To help keep bad fuel from entering your tank in the first place, use a multistage fuel filter funnel when taking on fuel. Popular examples include the Racor Fuel Filter Funnel or Mr. Funnel.

One final note on fueling. Even if you use a fancy new filter funnel and take other such precautions, the best option is to always purchase the cleanest fuel possible.

Select marinas that have a high rate of fuel sales, which means a high rate of fuel turnover. For example, the best marina I know in this regard is located beside a major highway and also serves as a truck stop.

If you have any doubts about the cleanliness of the fuel down at the Oyster Shack Restaurant & Marina, pump some into a clean glass jar before fueling and let it sit for a few minutes, during which time water and dirt will settle to the bottom. If you see either, buy your fuel somewhere else.

FUEL POLISHING FUEL POLISHING IS SIMPLY

cleaning the fuel inside your tank by cycling it through a filtering system and returning it to the tank. Fuel polishing systems are typically separate from the engine fuel supply, although in some cases they can be plumbed to utilize the engine’s primary fuel filter. They can be operated 24/7 if necessary (depending on design) and do not require the

engine to be running.

When designing or installing a polishing system, fuel should be drawn from the bottom of the fuel tank. The fuel pickup for the engine typically stops an inch or so from the bottom of the tank, to reduce the chances of sucking up contaminants — the very stuff you want to reach when polishing.

The time required to cycle through all of the fuel in your

tank will depend on the polishing system components; however, three to four hours is a reasonable goal to shoot for when you’re designing and shopping for a system. The system should also be designed to allow easy access to inspect and replace filters. As with your primary fuel system, it’s recommended to install a vacuum gauge to monitor filter condition.

The fuel tank deck fill is a common point of ingress for water, so do everything possible to keep it sealed.

bought. Diesel engines use pressure to generate combustion, and when water enters the engine it turns to steam, which can literally blow your injectors to pieces. Water also mixes with the sulfur in your fuel to create sulfuric acid (sort of like the blood of those critters in the “Alien” movies), which can cause internal engine parts to corrode.

What are some of the ways insidious water gets into fuel tanks? One is through the tank’s vent system. Unlike the closed fuel system in your car, a boat’s tank is vented, and an open system lets moisture in, where it can condense on the inside walls of a tank due to daily heating and cooling cycles. The more air in the tank, the more moisture and potential condensation.

To combat potential trouble, it’s recommended to keep your fuel tank fully topped off (up to 95 percent), particularly during long-term storage.

Another common point of entry is the fuel tank deck fill, due to factors such as missing O-rings and deteriorated gaskets. Fuel fills on sidedecks are especially vulnerable in this regard, particularly on sailboats, because they can ship a lot of water during rough passages, heavy rains or washdowns.

As water enters a fuel tank, it eventually separates and settles to the bottom — a common problem with long-term stored fuel. That’s when it gets buggy. Microbes thrive in such water, and their only goal in life is to eat and multiply. Sure, you can add biocides after the fact and kill the little SOBs, but as any good hitman knows, killing is the easy part. The problem is disposing of the bodies. In the case of dead microbes, they’ll lie in wait at the bottom of a tank until a rough passage and then rise up — zombie-like from the dead — to clog filters and wreak vengeance on the fuel system or, worse still, the engine.

The best strategy, particularly for long-term storage, is to treat clean fuel with stabilizers and biocides before a bug issue occurs and prevent water from entering the tank in the first place. No water, no critters.

The best strategy, particularly for long-term storage, is to treat clean fuel with stabilizers and biocides before a bug issue occurs.

Two of the biggest enemies in the battle for clean fuel are water contamination and long-term storage.

luminum and steel are proven boatbuilding materials, and boaters are beginning to understand their advantages for numerous applications. While it’s generally tougher than other building materials, in many parts of the county, metal is more cost effective for smaller boats than other materials on the market.

We reached out to some of the industry’s well-known designers and builders to provide you with the facts behind this growing market segment. Whether we’re discussing luxurious mega-yachts, winning offshore racing boats (the English-built Cougar and Italian-designed CUV hulls) or the basic fishing boats trolling scenic lakes, the metal boat world has been turned upside down by today’s leaders with their cutting-edge concepts. Here’s what Dylan Bailey, Dudley Dix and John Simpson — three gentlemen at the forefront this exciting arena — had to say about the trends spotlighting the metal boat stage.

Venus by Feadship was originally built for Apple founder Steve Jobs and is all aluminum.

Q What is a metal boat?

A

It’s a boat made of steel or aluminum. Both steel and aluminum come in different alloys, and the final choice is often determined by vessel application. In some cases, the hull may be of steel and the cabin/superstructure of aluminum. A third metal I believe someone tried was stainless steel: structurally, perhaps, not a good choice.

Metal boat joints are welded, but riveting is often used on small (under 20 feet) aluminum boats. Joints between steel and aluminum can be mechanical (bolts) or welded using bi-metallic strip (Detacouple). — JOHN SIMPSON, SIMPSONMARINEDESIGN.COM

Q What are the advantages of a metal boat?

A

Metal boats are very forgiving of navigation errors because they are so very hardy. Many of my metal boats have gone ashore in hurricanes or other storms.

Not one of them has been lost; all have been refloated and sailed away. Others have collided with containers or other flotsam at sea without suffering more than a dent.

Some of the glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) boats have not been as lucky. — DUDLEY DIX

A

These are some of the pluses of owning a metal boat: It takes abrasion and groundings better, it’s not flammable, and it doesn’t absorb water or show up on radar. Aluminum can be left bare (except for anti-fouling paint). Sanded aluminum decks are an effective nonskid surface. —SIMPSON

56

are some advantages Q What of working with metal?

A

One of the biggest advantages working with metal is that a boat can be built without the need of a mold.

This makes the material perfect for building one-off custom boats or boats of a limited run. For the builder who has the experience and equipment, any design can be built of any shape hull. — DYLAN BAILEY, DBYACHSURVEY.COM

A

Advantages include relatively fast construction (good for one-offs), predictability, easy to repair and/or make modifications (secondary joints are as strong as primary), and the flexible environment (you don’t need a heated shop in most cases).

One thing I try to avoid is disguising a metal boat to look like a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) or wood boat. If the owner doesn’t like it, then don’t buy it. By the same token, metal can have some styling/features that can’t be duplicated in FRP or wood. — SIMPSON

7/28/16 2:56 PM

there any advancements Q Are metal boat builders have taken advantage of recently?

A The biggest advancements have been in digital design and manufacture. It is now possible to design every last piece of the structure and most of the interior in a CAD program as a 3-D model. From that model, all components can be extracted and turned into digital files to be cut by CNC equipment for a perfect fit relative to all other parts. This all takes time and computing power, of course. The computing power is now available to almost anyone, through powerful laptop and desktop computers. The CAD programs are also advancing, to make the process simpler and faster. — DIX, DIXDESIGN.COM

are a couple of the Q What extraordinary metal

yachts you’ve seen that people might not know are metal?

A

A lot of the mega-yachts on the water are built from metal. With a well-built metal boat that has a yacht finish, it would be difficult to tell the difference to a boat built of fiberglass.

When we were building yachts at Marine Metal, Howdy Bailey’s boatyard, people at the boat

shows would sometimes argue that it wasn’t a metal boat that we built. They would want proof. That is one of the best compliments that you could get as a builder. — BAILEY

A

I can only really reference my own designs. Imagine, a Dix 38 Pilot that was built to a very high standard by Italian builders, is aluminum and beautifully finished, so people can be forgiven for thinking that she is GRP.

— DIX

are a few of the Q What favorite features you’ve designed for a metal boat?

A

Sabbatical II was built for an owner who was extremely particular about what he wanted in his next boat. He sent me a large lever-arch folder as his design brief that included in-depth requirements on features, equipment, etc. — right down to cupholders. I prefer simple boats and this is the most complicated boat that I have ever designed. She was beautifully built by Howdy Bailey and his team in Norfolk, Va., to a very high standard.

She has many features that were relatively easy to fabricate in aluminum, but would have been more complex or more costly in GRP. A big

The Dudley Dix-designed 38 Pilot Imagine can fool people into thinking she’s fiberglass.

Some Aluminum Facts We published a story about aluminum boats a couple of years ago (Just the Facts, Ma’am, October 2014, p. 48).

Here are a few tidbits that are pertinent here:

Aluminum possesses twice the yield strength and 10 times the shear strength of fiberglass.

Palmer Johnson’s aluminum superyachts are always beautifully built and finished.

Aluminum boats won’t wick water.

Aluminum doesn’t burn, so a fire likely won’t consume an aluminum boat. It does melt, however.

An aluminum hull oxidizes and forms a hard, tough coat and therefore doesn’t need to be painted.

An aluminum boat, if struck by lightning, will pass the electrical energy directly into the water, sparing the boat and its occupants a shock.

benefit of metal construction is that high-load items like mooring bollards, chain plates, etc., can be built into the welded structure and are not leak sources for potential problems in the future. — DIX

are a few of the Q What myths associated with metal boats, and what’s the truth behind them?

A

The biggest myth is corrosion. Yes, metal boats can suffer from corrosion, but they don’t have to. The E word — electrolysis — is

used a lot, especially regarding aluminum boats.

This is not the correct term. Stray current corrosion and galvanic corrosion are what people incorrectly call electrolysis. If the builder does its job with proper wiring and isolating dissimilar metals, there should never be a problem. And with the epoxy paint systems that have been used for over 30 years for metal boats, corrosion is easily prevented on steel and aluminum. — BAILEY

A

Steel boats are widely considered to be rust buckets that demand lots of mainte-

nance. This may have been the case many decades ago, but now the paint systems are very good. Proper preparation and coating, both inside and outside, should ensure a low-maintenance boat, whether steel or aluminum, with coatings that will last for 20 years before the need arises to strip it off and repaint. It also requires that the crew keep up with inspections and sorting out any potential problems quickly. The same applies to boats built from any other material. If you bump into flotsam and damage the protective skin of a GRP, wood or metal boat and you leave it untreated, then water will enter the damaged area and lead to problems in the future. The big difference is that you can bump into much more solid objects and sail away safely on a metal boat than is likely to be the case with a boat built from other materials.

Aluminum boats are sometimes considered to be prone to corrosion problems, but there are proper marine alloys that must be used to build a boat, and they must be welded with rods or wire composed of suitable alloys for the

metals that they are joining. The alloys used for skin plating are so corrosion resistant that the outside need not be painted above the waterline. The inside should be painted to protect the bilge from corrosion due to lost tools and other metal items that can cause damage over time. — DIX

A

Several myths have floated around for years. For instance, they are a conductor and very dangerous in an electrical storm — a lighting strike can kill! Nonsense. In fact, you have a metal shield around you (Faraday cage) and you are safe; just ask any aircraft pilot.

— SIMPSON

the appreciation Q Has and acceptance of metal

boats — power yachts, specifically — gained ground?

A

Small power metal boats have been popular for a long time. I see a lot of them when I’m in the Pacific Northwest. The material has been used for many years and will continue

to be used in large yachts. Where we are seeing some popularity is in the 40- to 70-foot range of semi-custom yachts, both power and sail.

Here in the U.S., metal boats still haven’t caught on like they have in Canada and Europe. It is up to the builders and owners, like the members of the Metal Boat Society, to help educate the boating public on the benefits of owning a metal boat. — BAILEY

A

Yes, some of the features of metal have been softened to look less metal. That said, if you are ashamed to be seen on a metal boat, then don’t buy one. As with any material, owners should familiarize themselves with all the characteristics.

Finally, it may appear that I favor aluminum over steel. Yes, I do. For many applications, it just makes sense. Some years ago, I did a 26-foot fishing boat design in steel, because the client insisted. After two years of operation, he admitted that he would have saved money (maintenance, operating and fuel costs, payload capacity) with aluminum. — SIMPSON

ONE OF THE ENJOYABLE ASPECTS of cruising the waters of the Pacific Northwest is seeing and learning about the area’s art, culture and history. Nowhere is this truer than the north Vancouver Island area on the central coast of British Columbia.

No doubt about it, the area is oozing with culture, history and pride. It bursts from shop windows, restaurants and community

The potlatch was banned in Canada between 1885 and 1951. The masks and other ceremonial objects were confiscated after an illegal potlatch in 1921. After the ban was lifted, the Kwakwaka’wakw people fought for decades for the return of their sacred regalia that had ended up in museums and private collections around the world. Most of the regalia has been returned and is on display, and it’s known as “The Potlatch Collection.”

has lived his entire life in the Broughtons and has worked in the fishing and logging industries and is an avid collector. A museum visit is a walk through Broughton Islands history and the many different cultures and industries that have inhabited the area islands and mainland during the past 6,000 years. The collection includes fishing gear, Japanese glass fishing floats, First Nations tools, old photos, colorful old bottles, logging and trapping paraphernalia, and a blacksmith shop. Once you start looking around, you’ll find tons of little gems in Proctor’s collection. There is also a logger’s shack filled with logging tools and personal belongings from an era of hard times and hard work. Proctor singlehandedly built the one-room cabin from a single cedar tree, splitting and milling each piece of lumber by hand. A small gift shop sells local art and books. All donations to the museum go to area salmon enhancement.

MEET COMMANDER BRIAN MEIER CHIEF OF RESPONSE FOR COAST GUARD SECTOR PUGET SOUND

COMMANDER BRIAN MEIER SERVES AS chief of response for Sector Puget Sound.

He is responsible for executing search and rescue; maritime law enforcement; marine environmental response; and ports, waterways and costal security missions. His previous operational tours were at Sector Lake Michigan, Marine Safety Office Memphis, and aboard USCGC Bramble. Meier and the Coast Guard are always ready to respond to boaters in distress, but they’d prefer if boaters didn’t need to be rescued, so Meier talked to us about boating safely. reports of pollution per year. By number, recreational boaters spill more than any other entity. Be careful when refueling, and don’t pump oily waste overboard. If you do see a spill, report it to the National Response Center (800-424-8802).

Sea: What types of incidents are most common for the Puget Sound area?

Meier: Sector Puget Sound responds to 1,175 search-and-rescue cases per year. A lot of these cases involve lost or abandoned watercraft, but we treat these cases as distress until proven otherwise. Cases involving lost or abandoned watercraft are difficult to prosecute, and they can negatively impact the readiness of our responders. I’d ask that your readers make sure they secure their dinghies and kayaks.

I also ask that they label their small boats with updated contact information.

Sector Puget Sound also responds to 729

PNW-10

What precautions can boaters in the Pacific Northwest take to stay safe as possible?

Be prepared. Plan ahead and adequately prepare your boat and crew (family and friends) prior to departure. Make sure you have the right safety equipment and know how to use it. Check the weather, tides and currents. File a float plan with a friend or through the state.

Get the Coast Guard Auxiliary to do a Vessel Safety Check (cgaux.org/vsc/). Don’t boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Alcohol and water don’t mix. Boat safe, boat sober. Don’t consume alcohol and get near the water. Marijuana and prescription drug use also impair a boater’s judgment, coordination, and balance, and boaters can be arrested and charged for BUI for failing field sobriety tests.

What are unique hazards to the Puget Sound area boaters should know about?

Cold water and strong tides/currents are the main issues. There also can be a lot of debris in the water, especially after storms. Keep a sharp lookout for debris, tree stumps, rocks, and other objects in the water. Stay out of the traffic lanes and follow Rule 10 of the Navigation Rules.

Large commercial vessels can’t stop easily.

What are three common mistakes that can be easily avoided?

Not wearing a life jacket is number one.

No matter what activity you’re involved in, always remember to wear a life jacket.

Drowning is the leading cause of death in nearly three-quarters of boating-related fatalities, and 84 percent of those who drown were not wearing life jackets.

Not dressing for the water temperature is another. The water temperature in Puget Sound stays in the 50s. During the warm summer months, boaters don’t prepare for the cold water, and that can be a fatal mistake. Capsizing and swamping should be expected when operating a paddlecraft, so dress appropriately for flotation and warmth.

A third mistake is not knowing the weather, tides or currents. The weather can change quickly in the Pacific Northwest.

Pay attention to the conditions and don’t get caught off guard.

Can you tell us about an unusual situation that the Coast Guard in Puget Sound had to manage?

In the late fall or winter months, the area can get heavy wind storms. Late last year, we had a particularly bad storm that caught a lot of people on the water off guard. We had to manage dozens of reports, including multiple cases where persons were in the water. Using Coast Guard and local assets, we managed to keep everyone safe, but it was a very busy watch.

What type of emergency situations requires the Coast Guard? What emergencies do not?

If there is a true emergency, the Coast Guard is always ready to respond. By congressional mandate, we cannot compete or interfere with commercial salvers. If a boat is not in distress, the Coast Guard will help coordinate with commercial entities or volunteers (good Samaritans) to ensure that boat gets safely to shore.

What is a hidden gem for boaters in the Puget Sound?

The entire area is beautiful. From the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the San Juan Islands to the South Sound, the Pacific Northwest has a wealth of natural beauty to enjoy and explore.

Located in the lee of the Flat Top Islands is a protected escape from the Strait of Georgia. A jigsaw puzzle of isles look like they separated from Gabriola Island eons ago. This maze of low-lying islands and menacing reefs conceal the bay’s entrance.

On the chart, it appears as the personification of the saying, “you can’t get there from here.” It’s more than compensated for by what’s available to visitors of this beautiful small bay.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION Silva Bay is reputed for its tricky entrance because of legendary Ship Rock 1 but don’t let it deter you. The safe channel between Tugboat and Vance islands is narrow. Below the surface, rocky ledges restrict the channel width, with those projecting from the north and northwest side of Tugboat Island being particularly extensive. A number of vessels have grounded here. When entering, be sure to clear the shoals extending west from Shipyard Rock. Maintain a westerly heading until about halfway to Law Point before turning toward the facilities on the southwest shoreline.

The bay has almost no room for anchoring. The basin is filled with permanently moored boats and private mooring buoys.

The open lane in front of the marina docks is for floatplane access.

Visitors have their choice of two marinas, Silva Bay Marina & Resort 2 and Page’s Resort & Marina 3 . We had a reservation — recommended for the summer months — for the night at Page’s, newly renovated and expanded to include guest moorage and a fuel dock (diesel and gas). Owners Gloria and Ken Hatfield have plans to increase the guest moorage in the coming year. The marina also offers moorage for vessels up to 65 feet, 15- and 30-amp power on new power pedestals, water, ice, washrooms, showers, laundry, ice and free Wi-Fi. The resort was established in 1943 and the grounds are beautifully maintained with five cottages and tent sites for rent and decorated with relics from the past reminding us of times gone by.

We entered the office to pay our moorage

During our stay, we witnessed anglers returning to the dock with both salmon and lingcod.

Visitors are welcome to drop by the Silva Bay Shipyard School 4 , next door, which offers a course in the basics of wooden boat building and repair. The training prepares students for employment at commercial boatyards.

STRETCH YOUR SEA LEGS The afternoon of our visit, we walked the mile and a half to Drumberg Provincial

Golfers can take a taxi to the Gabriola Golf and Country Club. It’s a pastoral ninehole course laid out on rolling hillsides with some challenging and lovely holes. Clubs and cart rentals are available. The course is on the northwest side of the island, two miles from the ferry dock on Descanso Bay.

THE CENTRAL COAST OF CALIFORNIA is often passed over for the more celebrated San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. Boaters traveling through should really take a pit-stop and poke around; you’d be surprised at what you can find on the central coast.

WHERE TO PARK Guest mooring up to 85 feet is available directly in front of Harford Pier 1 . Additional guest moorings are just inside of the breakwater for vessels up to 55 feet. Harbor Patrol monitors VHF Channel 12 and 16, or call the harbor office at (805) 595-5400. There is a

guest skiff tie-up and a public landing for dropoffs near the middle of Harford Pier on the northwest side. A free water taxi service operates year round to tote you around the harbor. Reach the water taxi service at (805) 703-0397.

A BEACH FOR EVERYONE Visitors can enjoy several beaches in the Port San Luis area. Olde Port Beach 2 allows vehicles to drive onto the beach to launch or retrieve small boats. There are bonfire pits, and well-behaved unleashed dogs are permitted here.

See the sea otters near the kelp forest of Fossil Point, encounter dolphins and maybe even catch a glimpse of a humpback whale.

GET SOME WORK DONE For all boat repair and maintenance needs, the Port San Luis Boatyard 5 is just northeast of the Harford Pier. A public hoist on Harford Pier allows boaters to self-launch their small boats. The cost to launch your boat is $2 for 10 minutes.

Using the hoist is a two-person operation and owners must provide lifting straps, according to the website. A public floating landing is available nearby to pick up gear and passengers. There is a coffee shop and chandlery stocked with bait, tackle, boating supplies, and food and beverages.

MEET BARRETT HOWARTH VICE PRESIDENT OF MAG BAY YACHTS

THERE’S A CHANCE BARRETT HOWARTH could have done something besides build boats. A very, very small chance. See, Howarth grew up on the floor of the Cabo Yachts factory. His crib was a boat. He was pushing a broom at a year old. He was drawing boats in preschool. He prepared metal for the metal shop by seven years old. His weekends were spent driving tugs and moving overhead cranes, not playing video games. He tried every job in the factory and learned from the best. Eventually, as was expected, he wanted to start building boats for real.

Sea: How did the idea for Mag Bay Yachts crystallize?

Howarth: I had always wanted to build a center console-type boat. Shortly after we sold Cabo, I redid a 16-foot Boston Whaler and made it into a mini-center console.

After learning a ton, I sold that boat and rebuilt a 21-foot Chris Craft Seahawk center console. That boat taught me even more and really added fuel for starting Mag Bay (magbayyachts.com). What ultimately pushed my dad and me over the edge was a little 13-foot Boston Whaler I redid for the son of a friend of mine. At the time, I was hanging cabinets in homes and my friend came to me and said, “Hey, let’s redo this

boat and you can teach my son Riley how to build a boat over the summer.” I quit my job, and a few months later Riley and I completed the most custom 13-foot Whaler on the planet, hands down. My dad, initially against the project, looked through the boat once it was finished, looked at me and asked, “You sure this is what you want to do?” When I said yes, he said, “All right, let’s get going.” We contacted Michael Peters the next day and got started.

How many designs did you go through before landing on one you loved?

I probably drew well over 100 different variations of a center console coming up

with ideas for our boat. When we got in touch with Michael Peters, we said the main priority was to be different than everyone else. I didn’t want to be building another boxy square boat. We sent him a package of drawings and pictures and let him work his magic. The first renderings from MPYD were of a 29-foot inboard diesel center console. I took the drawings to the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show and went to our old dealers and asked them what they thought. Everyone loved the boat but nobody wanted diesels.

The next design was a 32-foot twin-outboard center console with a cuddy. I went to Miami and did the same thing. Everyone loved the design but nobody wanted the cuddy. I spent a few days walking the show and asking random people what they thought and what they would want in a boat. After getting a lot of great input from our old dealers and various people, I booked a ticket to Sarasota and sat down with Bill Ganner and Michael Peters for a full day of designing. Before lunchtime, we had raised the floor height a few inches, raised the deck height a few inches and stretched the boat to 33 feet, 6 inches.

During lunch, Mike paused and asked if I wanted steps in the hull. Having ridden in SEAMAGAZINE.COM SEPTEMBER 2016

7/28/16 2:10 PM

one of his stepped-hulled boats, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity, so as soon as we finished lunch we started over and added steps to the hull. It was one long day, but at the end we had the bones of the Mag Bay 33. Though we only went through three big variations with MPYD, we had hundreds of drawings of every aspect of the boat.

What’s been most fulfilling about starting the company?

The whole process has been really amazing for me. I remember the day the hull plug arrived, I unloaded and unwrapped it myself. I couldn’t wait to get started! Watching and experiencing the company grow has been awesome. When we started, it was three of us sanding the hull plug. Fast forward two years and we now have 15 guys. We have employees I have known since I was four or five years old. The most fulfilling part, though, is starting this company and working with my dad. We butt heads a bit in the shop, but I’m extremely fortunate to be able to work alongside him. Without him I would

have never been able to do this.

Why build in California?

Very simple: our employees. We have the best employees on the planet. They are the heart and soul of our operation, and without them we would never have a chance against the stiff competition. On paper, its nuts to build a boat in California.

We’re on the opposite coast of 95 percent of our competition, and the state isn’t the most business friendly. With that said, we have lots of space up here in the desert, and we have a fantastic climate to do really good fiberglass work.

What are a few of the features you hope buyers appreciate most?

Besides the boat’s good looks, we get the most compliments on our attention to detail, fit and finish, impeccable wiring and just how clean everything is overall.

I love asking people to take a look under the gunwales and check out how we finish everything off. People love opening the lazarette hatch and looking at a finished

fiberglass floor. Our stainless splashwell plate with integrated outboard flush has been a big hit as well.

Have you made any design tweaks based on owner feedback?

We definitely have. We’ve adjusted console spacing and aft console seating height, we’ve added handrails, and adjusted the position of a few components throughout the boat. Customer feedback is extremely important to us, and when one of our dealers or customers gives us a suggestion we listen. It’s amazing what you can pick up and improve on from simple dockside chat with your customers.

What’s next for May Bay? The next boat from us will be a larger center console in the high 30-foot to low 40-foot range. Our eventual goal is to get back into the twin diesel sportfisher market. We would absolutely love to do an updated version of the Cabo 35 flybridge at some point.

LOAN BASICS

SEPTEMBER’S QUESTION:

> What can a broker do to help me get a loan for the yacht I want to

purchase?

For an answer to this month’s question, we turned to the folks at the National Marine Lenders Association, a national organization that educates lenders in marine financing procedures and promotes credit access for consumers and trade organizations.

If you’re buying a new or pre-owned boat from a dealer, you will likely get a helping hand with the loan process. Many dealers have a finance manager on staff who can handle the whole transaction, from assist-

that is an NMLA member.

Some dealers may simply send you to a bank or financial service company they refer business to, to have them handle the transaction. Again, let your preference of

Brokers will be aware of finance programs and available resources. ing with the application and vessel titling through to the loan closing. Many dealers have relationships with NMLA members.

Other dealers may not have a finance specialist on their staff, but they may employ an outside loan service company that handles all the same tasks, and it will arrange all of the details. Let your dealer know you want to work with a company



working with an NMLA member be known.

There may be advantages to financing your boat through dealers: • They usually have established relation-

ships with several finance sources.

• They have access to extended warranty programs that can be included in your financing.

• They may have special finance programs on certain brands or models because of their relationship with boat manufacturers.

These programs can be advantageous to you, such as a delayed first payment, no interest for several months, or lower rates for a limited time

Boat brokers are typically involved to connect a seller of a pre-owned boat with a buyer. Many individuals employ a broker to help them find the perfect boat, negotiate the sale, and complete the purchase process. Since their goal is to complete the sale transaction, brokers will be aware of finance programs and available resources.

Ask which NMLA members your broker recommends for financing.

Whether you choose the Rafael style (pictured) or one of Costa’s many other styles (costadelmar.com), you’ll have your choice of frame width, frame type and lens color, to create a pair of sunglasses that’s all you.

HOW TO PLAY: The first person to submit the best boat name will win a pair of Costa sunglasses, valued at up to $279.99. Submissions are due by Sept. 16. Send an
