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.

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.

THINKING CAP T HE NORTHWEST MARINE Trade Association is extremely active in state politics on issues that affect its constituency — boat builders, boatyards, boat dealers, yacht clubs, accessory makers and many others — and boaters in general. It looks out for the interests of the boating industry in Washington state, so a look at its legislative priority list for 2017 is a great way to see what’s going on in the Northwest and potentially what could be of interest to the industry outside of Washington.

NMTA is surveying its members to find out their priorities among the many items on NMTA’s plate.

Foremost among those issues are these:

• • • • •

Marine Tourism Bill Non-copper Paint Phase-out Legislation Increasing the Pilotage-exemption Limits Marine Jobs Bill Funding for Shop Classes (to address a shortage of qualified craftspeople) • Derelict Vessel Funding • Aquatic Invasive Species Legislation I’m willing to bet that the Marine Jobs Bill, aka the Sales Tax Cap Bill, will be a top priority for nearly everyone in the marine industry. The proposed cap in Washington is $28,500, which is higher than Florida’s $18,000 cap, Maryland’s $15,000 and New York’s $18,975, but it starts saving boat purchasers some serious cash at around the $400,000 mark (depending on where in the state the dealer is located). And if Florida’s

experience is any indication, the tax incentive works. In the first year of its implementation, sales tax collections on yacht purchases rose by more than $13 million, according to the Florida Yacht Brokers Association.

It’s a bill that benefits the industry at large, but the fact it helps the consumer first is a big plus. Someone looking to purchase a $1 million yacht could save at least $41,500 (based on the lowest sales tax rate of 7 percent). That’s money that’s bound to make its way into the economy through the purchase of other marine services rather than going straight to government coffers to be (mis)spent. Extrapolate those numbers to $4 million and $5 million yachts, and the benefits to the Washington economy at large and the marine industry specifically grow quickly.

The California marine industry would do well to present a united front on a similar bill in the Golden State. A $60,000 or $70,000 savings on a boat purchase would pay for slip fees, a diver and a security monitoring system for a long time.

We’ll see if industry pressure yields fruit in Washington, and if it does, California might have the momentum and framework it needs to move forward, or maybe Sacramento is stuck in a recession frame of mind.

LEAD BOAT Wajer 55

Big on Innovation Dutch builder packs its new 55-footer with features that make boating easy and fun.

N

OT ONLY IS the Wajer 55 a larger version of its award-winning predecessors, the Wajer 37 and Wajer 38, this big Dutch beauty has added a range of smart innovations.

For example, the new Wajer 55, which looks a bit like a bullet from above, has a swimming platform that can also be used as a swimming ladder or a gangway, and a roof that folds away automatically. A push-button fender system can be operated from the helm, which includes MFDs on the port and starboard dash, though only one wheel, to starboard. A wraparound glass windshield provides protection from the wind and delivers a dash of cool.

The triple — yes, three — Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines, each delivering 435 hp, push the 52-and-a-half-foot yacht to a 38 knot top speed.

A joystick makes driving in tight situations videogame easy. And even with three engines the 55 has space for a near-10-foot Williams Turbo Jet tender, which is concealed entirely within

Life’s a (Dog) Beach FOUR-LEGGED FIRST MATES HAVE A

pretty good life aboard, but getting those paws on terra firma is important for dogs and humans. If your pooch has been a good boy or girl and deserves a little time on the sand and in the surf, find a dog-friendly beach near your next port of call. Here are a few in California: 1 Fiesta Island Off Leash Dog Park, San Diego. Right next to Sea World, there is a protected bay where pups can run free.

2 Arroyo Burro Beach (Hendry’s Beach), Santa Barbara. This is the only beach that allows off-leash use in Santa Barbara.

the aft section, below the sunpad, and is released by a hydraulic system for easy launch. The diesels’ fuel economy — 32 gph at 25 knots — and a functional galley make day voyages a breeze for eight or 10 people, with seating on a large U-shaped settee aft, twin captain’s chairs at the helm and two companion chairs to port. A two-person sunpad aft of the cockpit is sure to be occupied anytime the yacht is at rest. Two staterooms mean four people can spend the night.

Sportiness, innovation and comfort make the Wajer 55 a good-looking and fast yacht. The 55 is built to order with a wide range of customization options (the U.S. dealer is in Miami), and it starts at roughly $1.9 million.

Wajer Yachts, wajeramericas.com

3 Rosie’s Dog Beach, Long Beach. The only off-leash dog beach in L.A. County, this beach is known for friendly dogs and small waves (due to the breakwater).

4 Coronado Dog Beach, Coronado. Open 24/7, this leash-free beach is right next to the U.S. Naval Station and has the Hotel Coronado as a backdrop.

5 Baker Beach, San Francisco. This picturesque park one mile south of Golden Gate has the most perfect background — the Golden Gate Bridge.

6 Carmel Beach, Carmel. There are no leash laws at this beach and fires are permitted south of 10th Avenue.

7 Monterey State Beach, Monterey.

Although dogs need to be leashed, this is definitely a dog-friendly beach.

8 Poplar Beach & Montara State Beach, Half Moon Bay. Pets are welcome at both, as long as they’re on a leash.

Ominous Music According to LiveScience, researchers showed 2,100 people a 60-second video clip of sharks that was either silent or set to ominous or uplifting music. People who watched the “frightening” music clip tended to rate sharks more negatively. This study quantitatively proved that people associate unsettling music with sharks and their feelings are influenced. This could have a detrimental long-term effect on conservation. Hopefully, filmmakers will think twice before choosing their music.

How to Properly Christen a Boat ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS

Space and resources are limited on your boat, so here are some life hacks to use next time you’re aboard:

to christen a boat, in modern times, traditionally it involves breaking a sacrificial bottle of champagne over the bow before its maiden voyage. It is recommended that before you crack a bottle across the bow of your new boat that you score it with a glass cutter or a Dremel-like tool, as champagne bottles are quite durable and strong and can cause damage to your new boat, which would definitely be a bad omen.

• In a pinch, a plastic cup works as an amplifier for your phone’s speaker system.

• Use pizza boxes as rope organizers.

• A damp towel underneath your cooler will help keep it from sliding around the deck.

READER SAYS WHAT?

More to It

I read through the July 2016 issue cover to cover for the second time (as usual) and noticed again the From the Helm column about boating on July 4 (p. 6). In it you wrote, as one of your bullet points, “Assign a sober skipper. It’s as important on the water as it is on the road.”

I know this is nitpicking, but I think you should have stressed that it’s important to assign someone who knows the boat and knows the rules of the road, not just anyone who is not drinking.

As one who had a boat hit (and totaled) by a BUI boater, I’m almost fanatic about not drinking and boating. If I have to move the boat, I don’t drink. Period. Even one drink can impair your judgment and reflexes enough to make you less than 100 percent on top of your game. Your passengers, family and friends, as well as your boat, are just too important to take a chance on driving after you’ve consumed any intoxicants.

My motto is “Anchor’s Down, Bottom’s Up!” Mike Lauman, via SeaMagazine.com Ed. Note: Mike, we don’t think that’s nitpicking at all. Good point, and thank you for sharing.

BACK FROM THE DEAD

THE ONCE ZOMBIELIKE CORAL AROUND CABO PULMO IS ALIVE AND WELL AGAIN.

D

AY OF THE DEAD is a tradition throughout Latin America. The idea is that, once a year, some of the dearly departed have 24 hours to come back to life for a visit. But at Cabo Pulmo, everything has come back to life — for real!

The coral reefs at Cabo Pulmo are estimated to be 20,000 years old, according to biologists at Scripps Institute of Oceanography at La Jolla. What’s unique is it’s the only living hard-coral reef system on the west side of North America.

For eons, the multifingered coral has thrived while perched on a narrow, sandy ledge next to open-ocean currents. The coral’s lattice-like structure nurtured an unusually wide range of marine species — from pelagics such as bluefin tuna, dorado and sea turtles to many regional varieties of grouper, shark and other predators.

Coral heads, sea fans, sponges and colorful mollusks clad the reef as it sprawled and branched like a lush forest, providing food and shelter for all marine life. Measured in biomass, the 875 different species that spawned in the safety of Cabo Pulmo Reef were about equal to those that hatched and grew to maturity here and spread into the Pacific and Sea of Cortez. John Steinbeck, in his book “The Log of the Sea of Cortez,” raved that the colors of Cabo Pulmo Reef were electric.

The coral forest was a prolific nursery for many of the fish humans learned to love to catch and eat. Baja soon developed an industry for a dozen species of eating fish and feisty gamefish.

DOWNWARD SPIRAL Death crept up slowly. It wasn’t just the obvious: commercial fishing with long lines and shrimpers dragging heavy sledges through the brittle calcite arms. It was also 50 years of recreational vessels inadvertently smashing the delicate corals with anchors and chains,

suffocating them with prop wash and discharging toxic bilges near the living coral. By 1995, the reef looked bleak as a “dead zone,” and the fish were gone.

In 1999, Cabo Pulmo Reef and its surroundings won federal protection as a national marine park, thanks to efforts of the local Castro family and Scripps biologists. Newly trained park rangers began enforcing the no-fishing and no-anchoring rules within the park boundaries. Boy, did I hear complaints.

Life returned. Ten years later, Cabo Pulmo reef had came back from the dead.

Recent analysis revealed that the corals had begun to spawn again and the total amount of marine life (biomass) had boomed more than 460 percent. Today, the fish food chain has returned. The coral reef at the heart of Cabo Pulmo National Park is again a thriving marine sanctuary, as well as a World Heritage Site.

WHERE IS CABO PULMO? On your Baja chart, look for the point farthest east on the East Cape bulge.

Well, that big rectangular point is actually Cabo Los Frailes, a prominent headland

CABO PULMO NATIONAL PARK If you get to Cabo Pulmo in your own boat, don’t anchor inside the No Anchoring Zone (see chart.) Anchor either south of the park in Bahia Los Frailes (on the narrow shelf above the submarine canyon) or north of the inconspicuous Cabo Pulmo (open roadstead). If you’re unsure where to anchor, drift just inside the park’s two-anda-half-mile eastern boundary (see chart) and hail “Cabo Pulmo park ranger” on VHF Channel 16. Park rangers and guides

that marks the easiest place to jump off from Baja and sail toward Mazatlan on the mainland. But look right next to Los Frailes, about two and a half miles to the north. See that very next tiny point of land?

That’s the actual cabo they call Pulmo.

It’s even less impressive in person. Cabo Pulmo is an anthill of a point that blends so well with its mountainous background that it’s practically invisible from sea. Cabo Pulmo National Park is about 30 nautical miles up from Cabo San Lucas, 25 up from San Jose del Cabo, 15 miles down from the marina at La Ribera or 100 miles down from La Paz harbor.

My GPS position in deep water just outside the park’s eastern boundary was 23 degrees, 25.88 minutes north, 109 degrees, 22.70 minutes west.

They can link you with a park guide to go snorkeling or scuba diving (0600 to 1700) over the amazing reef system. It’s what underwater cameras are made for.

Corridors of coral castles fly red fans and yellow sponges. Crannies are packed with shy anemone and brilliant tropical reef fish.

Docile whale sharks and sunfish glide by.

Experienced scuba divers can explore the wreck Colima, a 1929 shrimper that sank in 1980 in 45 feet of water, just on the edge of the No Anchoring Zone. Night dives (1900 to 2200) should be scheduled in advance at the park office in the village center.

Beachcombing, surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and kiteboarding are other activities. Playa Los Arbolitos and Playa El Rincon are pristine beaches to stroll. Several times a year, visitors can help rangers carry the newly hatched nestlings to the water and launch them safely away from the gulls and frigates. Use binoculars to see the “Friars” climbing the rocky profile of Cabo Los Frailes.

Some things are prohibited within the park: fishing, PWCs, two-stroke motors, non-biodegradable sunscreens or bronzers.

If you’re anchored nearby, turn off your bilge pumps and don’t let sinks, decks or laundry detergent drain overboard.

WHAT’S ASHORE? At the north end of the park shoreline, the village of Cabo Pulmo has about 50 homes, a few rustic hotels, cabins and bungalows (Cremin’s, Nancy’s, Castro’s, Juanito’s, Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort), Jill’s Bakery and six casual restaurants.

South of the park at Bahia Los Frailes, one large villa and one small hotel are situated among the scattering of nice beach homes.

Resort courses are available for scuba novices, and tank fills and dive equipment are available in the village. I can recommend Cabo Pulmo Divers (612-157-3381), which is owned by the Castro family who helped establish the national park, and Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort, also longtime residents.

e made our first mistake of the trip right out of the box.

Rather than anchor Monday night, near the start of the Baja Bash at Cabo San Lucas and then continue on the next day, we decided to keep going Monday. The weather was good, and we figured it would give us a jump on the weather window, which was still projected to open sometime Tuesday. The strategy initially paid off. We had calm conditions all the way from La Paz to Los Frailes, an anchorage on the southern coast of the Baja Peninsula about 50 miles east of Cabo. Darkness fell and we chugged serenely on, secure in the knowledge that all was going well.

Around 2 a.m. we passed Cabo and started around Cabo Falso, which is the southern point of the Baja Peninsula. Capes are, in our experience, uniformly a problem. The winds accelerate and the seas pile up. Capes create their own weather systems that often bear little, if any, resemblance to the overall weather picture near them. This was to prove true of Cabo Falso. Conditions deteriorated rapidly, winds rose into the mid- to high 20-knot range, with some gusts to 30, and the seas got larger, closer together and more directly on Duet’s nose.

Clearing the Box It took four hours to round the cape. During that time, we slowed to about 4.5 knots to ease the motion. Initially, all we had was some pounding from the bulbous bow and some spray. At about the halfway point, green water started hitting the pilothouse windows directly, rather than just spray — a new experience for us, and not a nice one. It was dark, we weren’t expecting it and it really made a bang. Both of us jumped every time it happened. We were both awake, as there was no sleeping in these conditions.

We considered turning around at that point, but since we couldn’t see a thing and would have had the seas on our beam during the turn, we decided that continuing would be safer.

So we slogged on, into what we figure were occasionally six- to eight-foot breaking seas. Duet’s bow is six to seven feet off the water and the pilothouse windows are a good three feet higher, so for green water to hit those windows straight on, the waves had to break on or slightly above the bow. Duet was fine: the autopilot was steering and the stabilizers were working a bit but not a lot, as most of the seas were on the nose.

We seemed to be going up and down as much as we were traveling forward, SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2016

The ocean doesn’t care how much you want to get there, nor does the boat. but over time we could see some infinitesimal progress on the chart. Our advance was measured by how much progress we made inside the lines defining a “box” that surrounds the cape and Cabo San Lucas on our chart. It’s a feature that actually indicates a more detailed chart is available in that area, but to us, that night, it was the box. If we could make it across the box, things should calm down.

It took until daylight to clear the box.

We rounded the cape, turned north and things calmed down, relatively speaking.

When the sun came up, we could see we were bashing north into four-foot square waves, on a short period. The green water on the windows had stopped, much to our relief. Everything was gray — the sea, the sky, everything. While it wasn’t raining, there was enough spray in the air to make it look mildly foggy. We were exhausted, but neither of us was seasick. Ron’s medications, and a good dose of adrenaline, kept us going.

Bash Prep One of the key long-distance cruising skills, which may not be initially apparent, is patience.

The ocean doesn’t care how much you

want to get there, nor does the boat, which will proceed at its stately pace, regardless of how much you want to speed up. Once you are out there, often there is nowhere to go but forward. You can go backward, but that requires additional sacrifice — namely, giving up all the ground you have so patiently gained. Our saying for this scenario — we have several sayings aboard Duet to reflect various situations — is “this too shall pass.” While it doesn’t always help, it does fit the situation fairly well and was used many times during our recent 950-mile journey from La Paz to Ensenada, known as the Baja Bash. It was the toughest journey we have made to date, and while it only lasted 10 days — including a four-day rest stop — we will remember it for a long time.

We left Marina CostaBaja early on Monday, May 9, after a rushed journey south from Bahia Concepcion. We cut our trip north short when Ron noticed what appeared to be a decent weather window opening around May 10. We confirmed the window with Bob Jones (oceanmarinenav. com), a weather router much used by Nordhavn owners, among others. Jones said it was a good window — actually a great one for May — and it would probably be the only decent one in May. If we could

make it, we should. We have not worked with Jones (aka OMNI Bob) before but wanted the opportunity, as we will need a good router for our South Pacific crossing, a journey that has passed from the “we might go” stage to the “we are buying equipment for it, so we better go” stage. Also, Ron had not evaluated the Baja Bash before and wanted to make sure we had the best information available for what we knew would be a tough trip.

So there we were, preparing to head north again, after what seemed like a very short winter of cruising in the Sea of Cortez. We enjoyed it very much, but we needed to be in Ensenada before June 9, so we could return home for Ron to work.

We went through our usual preparation for an offshore journey, admittedly rather rapidly given the short timeframe between deciding to go and actually going. During this process, we always use a series of checklists to jog our aging memories, lists that definitely proved their worth during our rushed preparation. The most difficult part of getting ready fell to Nancy, who needed to prepare offshore meals, and there wasn’t much to work with. When we have the opportunity, we like to use Lean Cuisine or the like for our offshore meals.

They are palatable and easy to heat and eat, and best of all, Nancy doesn’t actually have to cook them.

In this case, however, no such simple

1 Realizing that a weather window was set to open, the Goldbergs cut their trip in the Sea of Cortez short and made a line from La Paz to Cabo on Monday to begin their trip north to Ensenada.

3 Wednesday morning, after 48 hours and 280 miles, it would have been easy to stop for a rest at Bahia Santa Maria near Magdalena Bay, but due to improving weather and the threat of increasing winds later in the week, the Goldbergs decided to push on toward Turtle Bay.

The first night was nerve-wracking, with green water hitting the windshield.

From about 2 a.m. Tuesday until daylight broke, Duet and crew slogged through six- to eight-foot breaking seas, taking green water on their windshield and watching their progress — however slow — on the chartplotter.

4 Turtle Bay — reached Friday morning, roughly 96 hours after leaving Cabo — became a rest-and-regroup stop. The Goldbergs slept for roughly 18 of the first 24 hours they were in port, and spent a total of four days there waiting for the weather window to reopen.

When Ron wasn’t sleeping in Turtle Bay, he gave the windlass some TLC.

solutions were available. So far, we haven’t found much prepared food in Mexico, unlike in the U.S. It’s probably a good thing, but it did make Nancy’s life a little more complex, given she had about two days to get ready for what might be a seven-day passage. The solution? Pasta, pasta and more pasta. Plus plenty of grilled chicken — chicken we had in abundance.

Ron grilled the chicken. Nancy cooked the pasta. We added sauce from a jar. Presto, plenty of prepared meals. Repetitive meals, to be sure, but nutritious, easy to prepare underway and relatively tasty. We also had plenty of ice cream and frozen Snickers

Back on the Bash We had another discussion about turning around, but it seemed too much of a sacrifice, given that we had finally rounded the cape. The next safe harbor was about 180 miles north, at Bahia Santa Maria, or at Mag Bay, which was a little closer. Our average speed of about 5.5 knots pointed to a mid-morning arrival the next day, which seemed doable.

Email correspondence with Jones showed that the weather window was still open and conditions should be improving as we headed north.

The weather did improve; namely, the sun

activity the first day. The shower enclosure is, well, enclosed, which Nancy finds induces nausea. Fortunately for Ron, she did manage to take showers later in the trip.

As time passed, so did the miles. Patience paid off. We were averaging a little more than 5 knots — slowing below 5 every now and again with the bigger waves — and running at 1200 to 1400 rpm, depending on the conditions. If we had gone much faster, the ride would have been untenable.

The boat would have been fine, mind you, but we would have bounced around like peas in a pod. As it was, we always needed a hand for the boat, to avoid falling. We gradually got used to the motion, and while we couldn’t exactly predict it, we got better at anticipating it, based on how high Duet rose to meet a wave or how it felt going down the back of the wave.

Pushing On Duet’s bulbous bow, seen here in the serene waters of the CostaBaja fuel dock, did its job keeping the yacht stable in large head seas.

bars, so we were good to go.

We checked our way through the rest of the lists, and Duet was ready, with a few hours to spare. We actually did most of this work while traveling south in the Sea of Cortez. The weather was calm, so it was pretty simple to add the deck jack line, for example, while chugging along. Ron also kept up on the weather, while Nancy worked out the course, primary anchorages, backup anchorages, etc.

came out, which always makes us feel better.

The winds increased, blowing mid- to high 20s in the afternoon, as Jones and Ron predicted, due to the pressure gradient created by the land heating up. Overall, we had a relatively good 24 hours. Neither of us was very hungry, but we ate anyway, to keep up our strength. We stayed on a half dose of our meds every four hours, and both of us did quite well. Ron even took a shower, although Nancy wasn’t quite up to such

After what seemed like an eon, Wednesday dawned at Bahia Santa Maria, near Magdalena Bay. We had been underway for 48 hours and covered about 280 miles. We got another update from Jones, who said that if we felt able to continue we should, as the weather window was staying open at least until Friday. After that, the northwest winds were going to really pick up and last until the middle of the following week, at least.

So we had a frank discussion about how we felt and decided to continue. There were places to stop north of Bahia Santa Maria, or, if we were up to it, we could continue another 48 hours to Turtle Bay, 300 more miles north of us.

As we continued north, the weather improved, although the next night was

We gradually got used to the motion, and while we couldn’t exactly predict it, we got better at anticipating it, based on how high Duet rose to meet a wave. to be rather bumpy, for reasons that are somewhat unclear. The normal pattern is calm nights, followed by calm mornings and then a build up throughout the afternoon and evening until sometime after sunset, when the land cools down again and the winds drop. We waited for this pattern to emerge that day, but it never did, so we pounded slowly onward through the night.

Respite As the fourth dawn emerged on Thursday, about 72 hours after we left La Paz, we began to get into the groove. We both felt better and ate more. While we definitely wanted the trip to be over ASAP, we were more at peace with it than we were 24 or 48 hours into it. By the time we reached Turtle Bay on Friday morning, some 96 hours after we left La Paz, we could have continued on, but the weather window was closing Saturday. There are anchorages north of Turtle Bay before Ensenada, but none looked substantial enough to ride out the weather Jones (and Ron) saw coming over the weekend, so we pulled into Turtle Bay, dropped the hook and slept 18 hours of the first 24. Actually, we slept a good part of the four days we were in Turtle Bay. We didn’t go ashore or kayaking at all.

Over the weekend, Ron and Bob followed the weather closely, as did everyone else in the anchorage, since we were all headed north. Initially, it appeared as if the following week would be a bust and we would spend it in Turtle Bay. While Turtle Bay is a great harbor of refuge, it is not somewhere we would voluntarily spend time. It is a large industrial town, so it is noisy and a lot of dust blows off the surrounding hills.

Further, while we are sure the inhabitants are mostly friendly, we did hear of one attempted pilfering while we were there.

So the idea of spending another week there didn’t really float our boat, so to speak, but this too shall pass. However, as is often the case in cruising, our plan changed about 24 hours later, and the sailing fleet, plus Duet (buoyed by Jones’ and Ron’s assessment of the weather), pulled out at 5 a.m. Tuesday May 17, northbound for Ensenada.

Home Stretch We planned the final leg using stats generated during the first leg, namely an average speed of 5.6 knots. It is about 300 miles to Ensenada from Turtle Bay, so that yielded a trip time of about 54 hours. We always try to arrive in daylight, preferably early in the day, so we can deal with any issues that may arise; hence, our 5 a.m. departure, which gave us an arrival time in Ensenada of about 3 p.m.

Thursday, which was a little later than we would have liked.

This leg was to be more comfortable than the previous. While we still had head seas and higher winds in the afternoon, it was calm for longer periods, so we traveled faster — too fast, actually, averaging just over 7 knots. Given this, we arrived at the last reasonable anchorage, about 65 miles south of Ensenada, around 2 p.m.

Wednesday afternoon. We decided to stop, get a good night’s sleep and move on to Ensenada very early the next morning.

Unfortunately, the anchorage was so rolly, due to the angle of the swell, that we couldn’t stay, so on we went.

Timing on this kind of trip is trickier than it might seem. We knew we were

going too fast early on, but slowing down might have meant going too slowly if we had to struggle with head seas or current later on. We tend to keep up our speed and then deal with the end result once we get close to our destination, rather than lose the window to get there at all by slowing down too soon in the trip.

Arriving in daylight meant slowing down, way down. We reduced Duet’s engine to 1025 rpm (idle is 750 and normal cruise is around 1500), which yielded about 4.5 knots in the calmer conditions. It gave us an arrival time of between 4 and 5 a.m.

Thursday morning, so we would have to do some station-keeping until the sun came up but only for a couple of hours, not most of the night.

As projected, we arrived at the entrance to the bay where Ensenada is located at around 4 a.m. Nancy was on watch and laid out a reciprocal course, as discussed with Ron at the 1 a.m. watch change. Duet chugged up and down. One of our sailboat companions went into Ensenada, and the other chugged up and down about a half mile east of us.

Ron came back on watch around 5:30 a.m. and continued chugging up and down until the sun rose around 7 a.m. We were further delayed by the arrival of a cruise ship, which had right of way in Ensenada harbor, so we didn’t start our approach until about 8 a.m. Nancy woke up as we started into the bay, so she could get her lines and fenders sorted out. We arrived at Cruiseport Marina without incident, after checking in with the harbormaster via VHF. Since we were coming from within Mexico, we were granted permission to proceed without needing to check in with him further.

Bash bested.

DON’T OVERLOOK THE OUTBOARD THE DINGHY’S MOTOR NEEDS WINTERIZING, TOO.

A

BY DEANE HISLOP

LTHOUGH THE COOLING systems on most outboards are self-draining and therefore require no freeze protection per se, they do benefit from other storage procedures.

For four-cycle engines, gearcase lube should be replaced annually, along with crankcase oil. Even if the motor received little use during the season, the lubricants should be replaced and inspected for water and metal contamination. If either is discovered, the source of the problem must be determined and the problem resolved before the motor is placed back into service.

Raw-water pump impellers should be replaced no less frequently than every other year. The propeller should be removed, inspected for damage, repaired or replaced as needed, and the spline lubricated using the proper type of marine grease. Be certain to use a new cotter pin when reinstalling the propeller nut. Using a grease gun, grease all zerk fittings on the engine; most have two or three. If there is a portable fuel tank that feeds your engine, it’s best stored empty.

However, before the fuel is moved from the tank to its winter home, treat it using a quality stabilizer.

Some outboard manufacturers suggest that the fuel be “winter mixed” using a

30 SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2016

+ Sea Experts new.indd 30

9/29/16 9:45 AM

cocktail of additional two-cycle oil, stabilizer and other fuel additives. Check with your manufacturer for specific guidelines.

Run the engine on a freshwater flush using “earmuffs” or the manufacturer’s proprietary flushing attachment, for 10 or 15 minutes. Again, depending on the manufacturer, you may be directed to spray fogging oil into the carburetor while the engine is running and/or squirt a small amount of oil into the cylinders after removing the spark plugs (the latter without the engine running, of course). Check the recommendations for your specific engine.

Unless your storage season is less than four months, once you’ve completed these procedures you should empty and properly dispose of any fuel remaining in the built-in or portable fuel tanks (you could give it away to another outboard user who’s planning to use his dinghy through the winter). Keep in mind that today’s ethanol-spiked gasoline doesn’t store well,

even when stabilized. Be certain to properly stabilize any fuel you intend to keep.

READER SAYS WHAT?

INCONSISTENT An interesting August issue. The inside front cover contains a boating safety message about life jacket use, but page 5 shows the editor at the helm without a life jacket, and the lead article by Adam Jenkins (pp. 17-23) shows no life jacket use — even on children. Am I missing something?

worked, so I was able to at least catch a tow.

By the time I got home, I turned the key and of course the engine started immediately.

Nothing looks suspicious to me, but I’d appreciate your insight.

FIX THE WIRING MESS

There is an amazing space between looks suspicious and is suspicious. The first indicator I’d look at would be the voltmeter.

Turn the key to ON, then to START. If you have a good voltage reading when the key is turned ON, but it drops to zero when you turn the key to START, I’d look for loose, dirty or corroded battery/engine cable connections. When they’re hot after a run to the bay, the ability to carry current is diminished, not to mention charging capability. Like The Nurse says to me at day’s end, “Clean up your mess and your problems will disappear. Oh, and dinner’s ready.” Sure, c’mon over. We always have room for one more, as long as you’ve cleaned up your wiring mess.

A few weeks later, he called at dusk one Saturday. He’d just put the boat in the water and it wasn’t “peeing.” I told him to get a piece of weed-eater line and use it to purge the outlet, and he’d be fine. I never heard from him after that until … last week.

He called and told me the tank was full of water and I needed to come do the job right. I asked him how he got home, when the engine obviously ingested a bunch of water. He said they’d gotten it running long enough to get it on the trailer again.

The Nurse and I trotted to Deltaville to his house, where I found the engine wouldn’t start due to lack of battery.

“I just bought new batteries, must be something else.”

I disconnected the inbound cables at the engine block and jump-started the engine to clean it out. I finished “pickling” it at dark and went home, where I lay awake all night thinking about what I’d done. The next morning, around 5 a.m., we sneaked back there and I opened the battery compartment to find what I’d envisioned: One battery had all the cables and posts burned off it. The other battery had a diagonal waterline across it and a burned-off positive terminal.

I told him the story about my last fatherin-law in Maine who used to forget to haul his boat out at season’s end, but come spring — when the ice melted — he would bail the poor sunken boat out, hook up fresh fuel and the danged thing would start in just a few pulls. He enjoyed the parable.

Then I said, “There’s a big difference: yours sank in salt water.”

“Did not!”

“Sir, this isn’t my first rodeo. There are no more terminals — they were completely burned off. My educated guess is you forgot to install the drain plug.” Another denial.

I looked at him, raised an eyebrow. “Well, it hadn’t slid off the trailer yet.” Raised the other ’brow. That peeved him so badly he finally admitted it “might have been 20 minutes” before he got to putting the plug in.

I just shook my head, loaded my tools in the truck and bid him adieu. He calls every day apologizing (at least he’s not pledging accountability!) for his indiscretion.

Now, I don’t jump when he needs help, and he has to pay full-bore.

T



HE MY37 ISN’T the first power cat for Fountaine Pajot, but it is the latest and the smallest, as the French builder looks at the entry-level market.

Outdoor space on the MY37 is abundant, starting with the cockpit, which includes a four-person settee on the transom and room for a couple of beach-type chairs. The bow is home to two sunpads, for tanning at anchor, and again, there’s room for a two or three more people to lie on towels or sit on beach or camp chairs. The flybridge — or sundeck, as the builder calls it — features a twin-chair helm to starboard, a twin sunbed to port and a corner settee aft of the sunbed, with room for five or six rear ends. This is a very social boat.

In the main cabin — which can be part of the cockpit social scene with the aft doors all the way open — there is room for six guests on the portside settee (though you wouldn’t want that many eating at the dining table at once) and a lot of space for entertaining. A doublewide seat fronts the helm. The galley features a drawer-style refrigerator, a double sink, a three-burner stove and an integrated waste basket.

Being that it’s a catamaran, the boat offers smooth offshore performance, stability, interior volume and impressive range. It’s available in a three- or four-cabin layout, the latter being more for the charter market. The three-cabin version gives the owners a master suite with a private head in the port hull. Two guest cabins share a head to starboard.

Volvo diesels are the power of choice in the MY37, either 150 hp or 220 hp. With the 220, the cat can reach 20 knots, cruise efficiently at 14 and achieve a 1,000-mile range at 7 knots, according to the builder.

COBIA 277

IT’S DEFINITELY A FISHING MACHINE, BUT NOT AT THE EXCLUSION OF THE NON-ANGLERS.

C

OMING FROM THE world of large-ish sail- and powerboats, I was in for a big surprise

when I showed up for my first center-console test ride about a decade ago. I wasn’t prepared in the slightest for the speed, the rough ride or the drenching I got. In the brisk wind, I think I may have swallowed an entire hairball — of my own hair.

“One hand for the boat and one for your notes” (to keep them dry) was a hard-learned lesson that day, and it stayed with me. Since then, I’ve tested numerous brands of center-console fishing boats, but it’s funny how I always judge a boat first by its ability to keep occupants dry and second for its steady ride, so passengers can move about without needing to grow a third arm.

STEP ABOARD With my (short but hard-learned) checklist in mind, I met Scott Lampe of Big Bay Yachts at the dock in San Diego. The Cobia 277 tied up alongside it was showing off its lines and $40,000 worth of options aboard.

The first thing I noticed was a single-level deck that makes it easy to move from bow to transom when casting. There were no toe-stubbers anywhere. The optional T-top was powder coated, and on our test boat, it was painted to match the “wheat” colored hull. It’s a beefy piece of fiberglass and steel construction and holds quite a bit of gear: four speakers, two lockable overhead stowage boxes, three dome lights, forward and aft LED deck lights, and twin Top Gun outriggers by Rupp Marine. On our boat, an optional rod rack hung off the aft end overhead.



TESTER’S OPINION

Below the T-top, two bolstered helm seats with a hidden foot bar provide a secure and comfortable ride. The 40-inch dash has an efficient layout with room enough for two 16-inch multifunction displays. Our test boat was equipped with a single 12-inch Garmin GPSMAP 7612XSV touchscreen plotter, a Garmin VHF radio, Yamaha’s 6YC digital display, Lenco electric trim tab switches, a Fusion stereo and 16 toggles for every pump and light aboard. Our boat was equipped with sonar but did not have radar or an autopilot. (Lampe figures the future owner can spec exactly what he desires. According to Lampe, the profile of the typical buyer may be someone who wants to get out for a quick day of local fishing or keep this boat as a toy that accompanies a larger vessel, in which case radar and self-steering may not be necessary.)

To the right of the upgraded Edson wheel were the throttles for the twin 200 hp Yamaha F200XCA outboards (the standard power package). Twin 250s are available as an upgrade and may add just a little speed at the top end, but that may not be a desired tradeoff with fuel economy.

A wide glove compartment with a 12v outlet is below the wheel and has room for

fishing machine … but it can do double duty as a fish boat and a fun family cruiser.

While the Cobia 277 is definitely set up for fishing, with overhead rod holders and an aft seat that folds out of the way, the helm is set up to accommodate day cruising and more.

cellphones, keys, sunglasses and what-haveyou. The dash and driver are protected by a high and curved windshield.

CROSSOVER APPEAL Below the seats are three batteries (a fourth is optional) and behind them is a tackle station with numerous drawers that would keep most any angler organized.

Forward and integrated into the console is a seat that tops an insulated 62-quart cooler. Together, the seat and cooler form a swinging door that leads into the surprisingly large head, which is tucked below

telescoping leg. The first stop makes the bow a casting platform or a cushion-covered sunpad, complete with two manual backrests that swing in from their outboard stowed positions so passengers can sit and ride facing forward. The second level brings the sole all the way up to form a table with a V-shaped settee around it providing seating for at least four.

The anchor roller exits through the stem to keep ground tackle from snagging any lines. Even the pop-up forward nav light is flush to the bow, so it presents no casting hazard until manually deployed. A small

The Cobia 277 can do double duty as a fish boat and a fun family cruiser. The convertible bow has an electric table that levitates out of the sole on a two-stage

tk pullquote

Lewmar electric windlass (wireless remote available) manages the 300 feet of line aboard. Hip-high gunwales add a feeling of security, as does the recessed stainless steel handrail that runs from the console to the bow on both sides. A nice touch are the six pop-up cleats that won’t grab lines or clothing.

FISHING FEATURES The Cobia 277 is, first and foremost, a fishing machine, so there are twin 47-gallon insulated fishboxes with macerator pumps and a soothing blue 42-gallon recirculating livewell with a clear top cover. Stainless flush-mounted rod holders and eight under-gunwale rod racks mean the owner can bring a couple of friends and all can have multiple rods working simultaneously.

Aft is another bench that will seat two, facing forward. It is integrated into the transom and when not in use, it’s flush.

The backrest is removable, again to keep the aft end clear for fishing. With the touch of a button, the whole seat module rises electrically to reveal good access to two Yamaha fuel/water separators and most of the pumps aboard.

Passengers can board with the standard “leg over the gunwale” swing or by stepping onto the transom just above where the swim ladder is stowed and next to the freshwater shower outlet. That means the swimming half of the family can do their

thing while the fishing half casts off the bow, and everybody wins.

PERFORMANCE Lampe untied the docklines, and we headed out onto San Diego Bay. With two crew, 40 percent fuel in the 189-gallon tank, and a one-foot chop in the bay, we ran our test against a 10- to 12-knot breeze.

With the 21 degree deadrise, the 277 has

a nice flat aft section and comes up on plane in just under five seconds, at around 2800 rpm. We found wide-open throttle around 5200 rpm as we topped out at 44 mph. The most economical cruise was around 3000 rpm and 21 mph, where the outboards burned 9.2 gph, which translates to a 430-mile range at 2.3 mpg. That means you can run quite a way offshore to find tuna and still come home plenty fast

without running out of gas.

Purchase the optional trailer, and lakes and rivers can be added to the offshore fun, to mix it up a little.

We doubled back on our own wake, which the 277 took in stride. The ride was smooth. When Lampe said “hang on” as he pulled hard turns, all I did was press my backside into the seat bolster and continued taking notes without being jostled. The deep-V of the bow parted the wind chop and although we didn’t get out into a fourfoot swell, it was clear that this was a dry boat. In fact, we made it all the way back without a single drop of water or smudge of salt spray on that crystal-clear windshield.

Our ride confirmed that the Cobia 277 is one sweet and dry ride. No extra appendages and no hairballs — check. Notes dry — check. Fun — double check.

HAMPTON

650 PILOTHOUSE FILLING A GAP IN THE PH LINEUP, THE

SEMI-CUSTOM 650 IS A LUXURY COUPLES CRUISER WITH HISTORY ON ITS SIDE. STORY BY MIKE WERLING

O

PHOTOS BY NEIL RABINOWITZ

K, I THOUGHT as I peered through my zoom lens at the Navy’s newest autonomous

submarine-hunting trimaran being tested in the waters off Camp Pendleton, it’s pretty badass, but can it take me from Southern California to Alaska in comfort and luxury with only one fuel stop? Don’t think so.

Aboard the new Hampton 650 Pilothouse — which certainly can get from SoCal to Alaska with one fuel stop — on a run from Newport Beach to San Diego were myself and Hampton Yacht Group of California’s Chris Elliott and Michelle King. Elliott and King were delivering the yacht to the San Diego International Boat Show, and I was along for the ride, a bit of an extended sea trial. Coming across the Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) was a bonus, one that led me to the H650’s spacious and social flybridge. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

NEW HULL Hampton was sure to keep the hull design elements that make its yachts seaworthy and safe — hand-laid fiberglass molded in one piece with five outer layers of vinylester resin and reinforced with two layers of Kevlar from chine to chine and a

third Kevlar layer in the forward collision zone — but the Howard Apollonio design added something to the modified deep-V concept. The chine is split.

The forward half of the chine on both sides is above the waterline, to improve performance at slower speeds, and it fairs about halfway back. From there aft, the chine is below the waterline, which helps at planing speeds. Overall, the split chine nearly eliminates chine noise at rest. Add in prop tunnels and new Caterpillar diesels, and it all results in a 66-footer that can achieve 23 knots, which was our top speed on test day in a gently heaving Pacific Ocean, amid three- to five-foot swells.

With the ABT hydraulic stabilizer fins engaged, the ride was smooth up and down the speed range, even when we took the swell on the beam, and even down at trawler speeds, which is where the 650 will spend a lot of its time during long passages. At 9

TESTER’S OPINION

H650 will attract owners who are making a jump in length and those who are looking to drop down in size and run a yacht on their own. A cruising couple can definitely run the yacht, but there will be times when they’ll want three or four other couples along for a trip to the island or for lunch somewhere up or down the coast.

knots, roughly 1000 rpm, the twin Cats were burning a combined 10 gph, which yields a range of just less than 1,000 miles (with a 10 percent reserve built in). Seven or 8 knots will push that range past 1,000 miles. Range at 15 and 17.5 knots is roughly the same at 295 miles, and the fuel burn is 55 and 64 gph, respectively. Elliott called 19.5 knots a fast cruise, which had the engines spinning at 2050 rpm, about an 80 percent load, and burning a combined 76 gph.

The deep V of the bow cleaved the waves and kept conditions comfortably smooth for the H650’s three passengers as we made our way to San Diego at 17 to 18 knots, while the flatter aft planing section and the props threw off a wake the dolphins found irresistible, as four pods of them found us along the way.

Floating helm pod Dedicated console for wine refrigerator Dual access to the flybridge TV that lowers out of hardtop Versatility of salon furniture

We spent the trip at the lower helm on a cool, gray, damp early summer day — June gloom in full effect — though I made it up there to record a short video and photograph the Navy sub hunter, but when the weather is good, the flybridge will be the preferred hangout spot. Accessed via steps from the aft deck or opposite the galley, its helm is fully outfitted with twin Garmin MFDs, engine displays, a VHF radio and controls for the engine, thruster and stabilizer fins. Twin captain’s chairs face the helm but can swivel around to join the action at the L-shaped dinette. A console to starboard houses a grill, a refrigerator, a

sink, a wet bar and storage. Aft is room for a dinghy and a davit. The hardtop covers the flybridge from the helm to the back of the settee, and an LED TV folds down out of it. A pretty neat feature.

IN THE HOUSE Hampton designers have spent a long time tweaking the pilothouse concept, and the H650 and its owners benefit from that work. The satin cherry woodwork is warm and pleasant to look at and complements the granite countertops perfectly. Twin Pompanette captain’s chairs front a helm that’s composed of an angled lower dash component — engine displays, throttles, a VHF radio, an autopilot display and more — and a wide, soft-cornered “pod” that faces the driver and appears to float just above the dash. Within that burlwood-accented pod are three Garmin GPSMap 7616 MFDs, a Fusion stereo head unit and a Garmin GNX instrument display.

While the pilothouse is definitely built for safe and functional operation of the yacht — a four-panel windshield and windows all around deliver expansive views and watertight side doors provide quick access to the sidedecks — the captain won’t be cloistered away while driving. A three-person settee is immediately aft of the captain’s chairs, and those chairs can swivel around to join in for a meal at the hinged table. Directly aft of the dinette is the U-shaped galley, which is open to both the helm area and the salon, which is aft and down three steps. It is fully

equipped with GE and SubZero appliances, a pots-and-pans drawer, overhead cabinets and a granite sole with optional heat (enough to keep feet warm on a cold morning, I assume, not enough to fry an egg). A desk that can double as a serving station sits opposite the galley, to starboard, at the base of the stairs to the flybridge.

SOCIAL SCENE Folding glass doors at the aft bulkhead mean the owner can open up the inside entirely to the aft deck, or just a little.

With the doors folded completely away, the aft deck and salon become one large social space, with room for at least six people inside on the L-shaped sofa and twin armchairs and room for four or five on the transom bench settee, which shares the space with a table that houses a small refrigerator in its base. The flybridge deck extends far enough to turn the cockpit into

In the salon, a two-level cabinet to starboard houses a high-low TV in the upper part and a bar in the lower part. Another cabinet forward of that is home to a wine refrigerator. Two ottomans and a moveable glass coffee table make this social space adaptable and configurable. The windows that run along both sides of the salon bulkheads are at such a level that passengers can see out while they’re seated.

ACCOMMODATIONS A curved stairway leads to the accommodations below, where passengers will find three staterooms and three heads.

The foyer houses a washer and dryer and a storage closet. The third stateroom features a full-size bed, reading lights, an LED TV, a hanging locker and a stereo/DVD player.

The VIP stateroom includes an island

queen berth, a hanging locker, an LED TV, a skylight with a screen, storage, a stereo/ DVD player and more. Both the VIP and third head include a separate shower stall, granite countertops and floors, a Tecma toilet and a vanity with under-sink storage.

Spanning the full beam, the master stateroom is an owner’s retreat. A king-size bed is on the centerline, a two-person settee is under the large hull window to port, and a vanity is opposite, under another hull window. Both hull windows have two smaller opening portholes. Aft of the berth are the head, shower and walk-in closet.

The toilet and vanity are to port, with the shower stall on the centerline, and the large closet is to starboard. Having the head and closet aft of the berth definitely helps with sound attenuation, and even with the boat underway, people could sit and converse comfortably on the bed or the settee.

TIGHT SHIP Overall, the workmanship on the H650 is exceptional, which one might expect from a family that’s been building boats for roughly 50 years, the last 24 of those under the Hampton name. The woodwork is flawless and tightly joined, the built-in furniture fits exactly as it should, the stainless is smooth and shiny, and the engine room is well laid out and roomy.

While some owners are going to want to get out there and go, I can definitely see this yacht being used to take groups around the harbor, to the islands for the day or for lunch somewhere in the sound. Its biggest strength might be as a floating happy hour spot at the dock, though given its 1,000-mile range, it doesn’t necessarily have to be its home dock.

During our several-hour trip to San Diego, I sat in every part of the yacht and just listened. The whooshing of the water past the hull and the low hum of the Caterpillar diesels was the soundtrack. I didn’t hear creaking from the hull, the sole or the doors. Nothing rattled and water bottles set down on tables and countertops didn’t move. We did get a close-on visit from a military helicopter that was protecting the perimeter around the ACTUV sea trial, but he might have been as interested in checking us out as we were in checking out the sub hunter.

e all may have a different interpretation regarding these terms, an ambiguity that can lead to improper purchases, or at least to incorrect usage, of products ranging from handheld electronics to dry suits. The difference between waterproof and water-resistant is something important to learn; the knowledge will affect how you load a stowage locker and purchase electronics.

Consider the definitions. Take an unopened Coke can in an ice chest. Unless it’s punctured, the can goes in at sunrise and comes out at dusk, and no water contaminates your cola. That’s waterproof. However, a word like waterproof can get misused, especially by a marketing agency trying to design a catchy advertisement.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2016

+ Sea feature Waterproof2.indd 44

9/29/16 9:38 AM

Let’s rank the four terms this way:

• Waterproof: Impervious to water, the ultimate. Electronics that are exposed to weather and boat hulls better be waterproof.

• Watertight: Constructed so tightly as to be impervious to water. This applies to fittings in the transom, and hull and deck seams and joints. Leakage is possible, but not likely unless completely immersed in water (or sprayed by water) for an extended period.

• Water-repellent: A finish that resists, but does not entirely prevent, the penetration of water. Umbrellas and ponchos fit in here.

• Water-resistant: Clothing treated with durable water-repellent coatings (Teflon or silicone based) can be considered water-resistant.

Unfortunately, confusion over these definitions leads to problems (e.g., things get wet, things get ruined), and that befuddlement is most certainly not on the manufacturing side of reputable companies, especially when it comes to electronics.

Design engineers at electronics manufacturers know the water tolerances of their products and label them accordingly.

Tested Tough Garmin International rigorously tests all of its devices to make sure they’ll survive the activities for which they are designed.

“All of our marine products are IPX7 rated and tested to pass other environmental hazards that a marine customer might encounter,” said Carly Hysell, PR/ media relations manager for Garmin International, who noted the GPSMAP 8600 series, which is offered in a 17-, 22and 24-inch displays, is the latest offering.

“Our products are also subjected to extensive temperature shock (hot to cold/ cold to hot), UV, salt and fog testing, water projected by powerful jets (power washer), etc., to ensure they are designed to survive in the harsh marine environment.”

Because electronics generate heat, sometimes the inside of a unit can fog up.

That’s an unavoidable occurrence that manufacturers expect.

“People often associate ‘waterproof’ with

Beneteau’s Gran Turismo 46 has an enclosed cabin, but the sunroof opens wide, so its Simrad MFD should be rated to handle unexpected water.

Fighting Fog

To protect the ventilation hole in its electronics, Raymarine uses a Gore Tex cover that allows air and water to escape but only air to get in.

‘fog proof,’” said Jim McGowan, marketing manager for Raymarine Americas. “In fact, they are altogether different. Most marine displays do have some kind of ventilation in them that allows them to exchange air and equalize pressure with the outside world.

This is often a very small pinhole vent that is covered (on the inside) with a piece of Gore Tex fabric. The Gore Tex allows air to flow in and out, while blocking drops of water.”

As electronic units heat up, they will expel internal air. As they cool down, they will inhale external air. If that air is moist (like anywhere outside of the desert), the unit will naturally ingest some moisture.

“They key is that the Gore Tex allows the water molecules to go back out again, either as vapor or as condensed water drops,” McGowan said. “It’s designed to allow only air to enter, and air and water to exit. Just like your rain gear or boots.”

Depending on the construction of your devices, seeing a bit of fog on the inside of the LCD can be a normal occurrence, and isn’t necessarily a cause for concern.

It should burn off quickly once the unit is energized and it warms up. If you see SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2016

“All of Raymarine’s latest MFDs and instruments use optical bonding technology,” McGowan said. “We fill the air space between the LCD panel and the unit’s front glass with an optical-grade clear epoxy.

Other electronics are simply not intended to be used outside, and therefore are not built to IPX6 or IPX7 standards “Some of our larger monitors are IPX6 when dash mounted, but only IPX2 when the back is exposed, due to cooling vents,” said Jeremy Schroeder, Navico’s mechanical engineering manager. Navico brands include Lowrance and Simrad electronics, and the Simrad NSS Evo2 is a recent new product.

“These are often installed in the wheelhouse or flybridge. Our VHF radios are waterproof to JIS-7 (Japan Industrial Standards), which is very similar to the IPX7 standard. Some black box products that are commonly mounted below deck are IPX5.”

Furuno has a very broad product line offering including certified Navigation Suites of products for the largest super-tankers and cruise vessels down to very small radar and navigation systems for 20-foot fishing boats.

“For this reason, our products offer varying degrees of water resistance depending on the intended application and installation location,” said Eric Kunz, Furuno senior product manager. “Our light-marine MFDs and display products that are meant for various installation locations are typically labeled as ‘Waterproof and carry a tested IP56’. Typically, Furuno guarantees that any product rated as ‘Waterproof’ is protected from water ingress for the full two-year warranty period.”

Keeping it Clean Maintenance with IPX6- and IPX7rated products is simple. Not only are these products waterproof, but the procedures for cleaning and care have been greatly improved.

“Cleaning and maintenance on Raymarine products is pretty easy,” McGowan said. “MFDs, instruments, radar scanners, cameras, and other topside-rated devices can be flushed with fresh water when you’re rinsing the boat. Just make sure the door covering the chart reader is closed prior to rinsing. While water won’t penetrate through the card reader to the inside, the moisture is not helpful to the metallic contacts that read the map card.”

Be careful, though, because the wrong cleaning materials can scratch the exterior glass. For example, Furuno MFD “Waterproof” products utilize a toughened glass lens.

Raymarine’s MFDs and instruments are tested to both IPX6 and IPX7 standards.

They are fully approved for both above- and belowdecks installation and are waterproof from all directions.

“There are some products in our line that are not supposed to be out in the open,” McGowan said. “For example, some of

Raymarine’s MFDs, including the gS195, are tested to both IPX6 and IPX7 standards, for long life at sea.

anti-reflective coating applied to it, which is very similar to mobile devices,” said Kunz, who noted that Furuno’s new TZT2 MFDs have an all-glass front and are completely sealed. “However, it is important to avoid repeatedly wiping salt crystals across the hardened glass lens, to reduce the chance of scratching it. We recommend spraying fresh water on the glass lens first, to dissolve any possible dirt or salt crystals, and then buff the lens clean using a microfiber cloth.”

There Are Limits There are limits to waterproofness. Sea water pressure increases at a tremendous rate as the depth of the water increases, so any item that is rated as “submersible” generally comes with a depth rating (e.g., 1 meter, 3 meters). If you exceed that depth, you’re very likely to have leakage into the device.

“Another consideration for electronics, especially non-waterproof electronics, is adhering to the manufacturer-recommend ‘drip loops’ on cables connected to the device,” McGowan said. “If water hits an exposed cable on deck, the surface tension of the water can allow it to flow down the outside of the cable jacket to the lowest point in the cable, where gravity will make it drip off.”

A sign of a good installation is allowing a loop of cable to hang underneath non-waterproof devices so those drips fall clear of the device and don’t wind up inside it.

“Also, its good practice to seal the electrical connections to your electronics with some dielectric grease,” McGowan said. “This protects all of the contacts inside your power cable, network cable, transducer cable and more from corrosion over the years.”

Raymarine’s MFDs are tested to both IPX6 and IPX7 standards. our autopilot systems have a device called an Actuator Control Unit. It’s essentially the power supply for the hydraulic pump or mechanical drive system. The ACU is splash-proof but not intended to be exposed to the elements directly. Generally, that type of device is mounted inside the helm, in a lazarette, engine room or similar utility space that doesn’t see the elements directly.”

Raymarine’s radar scanners, thermal cameras and on-deck cameras are also tested to IPX6 and IPX7. These products are also tested for wind-load, to make sure they’ll keep working (rotating) in heavy winds, up to 100 knots.

Taking tests to extremes can ensure products don’t fail when needed most.

Navico often implements water-ingress tests that are done above and beyond the IEC IP standards.

“These are often related to the harsh environment that our products encounter,” Schroeder said. “An example is heating a product and submerging it in cool water to simulate solar heating and a sudden rain shower or taking on a wave. This thermal shock, along with submersion, ensures we have robust products that will hold up for our customers.”

MURAL TOWN

CHEMAINUS IS WHERE ART AND NATURE MEET BY THE WATER. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

LOCATED ON VANCOUVER’S EASTERN SHORE, Chemainus is nestled between the mountains and the sea. This beautiful small town of 4,000 is more than just quaint houses and beautiful gardens; it’s a year-round destination for boaters drawn by the town’s outdoor art gallery, the largest in B.C. When economic hard times hit the town in the early 1980s, the civic and business leaders gambled that painting murals on buildings would attract enough tourists to sustain the economy. Five murals were painted in 1982, and civic leaders were encouraged when bus tours began stopping to allow riders to view the paintings. These days, tens of thousands of visitors make their way to Chemainus annually to follow the yellow footprints or ride a

WHAT’S NEW? During our last visit, Arlene and I discovered the downtown had undergone a revitalization, starting with a dramatic remake of the Waterwheel Park area 1 . Visitors to The Mural Town will find new landscaping, benches and features in place of bare pavement. There has also been an ambitious expansion of the Chemainus Museum 2 .

The Visitor Centre and the Chamber of Commerce office were relocated to new a new spot next to the museum.

MEET IAN ANDREWES

OLYMPIC SAILING COACH AND MEMBER OF TEAM MAD DOG RACING THE RACE TO ALASKA (R2AK.COM) is a grueling competition that winds up the Inside Passage from Port Townsend, Wash., to Ketchikan, Alaska. It covers 750 miles of sheltered and open waters where racers encounter squalls, tidal currents that can run up to 20 mph, killer whales, high winds and more. Oh, and the boats in the race are only allowed to use human and wind power. No motors of any kind. It is the longest such race in North America. The winning team receives $10,000. The runner-up? A set of steak knives. So it’s nice to win.

As far as the boat goes, we spent about nine months preparing it specifically for the R2AK. We modified the boat in several ways by adding T-foil rudders and altering the one-design sail plan with a more efficient mainsail shape while also adding a light-air non-overlapping jib.

Ultimately, though, pretty much most of these lessons were learned through trial and error and lots of practice. The race itself was the shortest part of the whole gig.

Why is the Mastrom 32 your boat of choice?

Randy owned one, and we were already racing together all around the country.

We were starting to race the boat offshore and doing races of around 100 nautical miles. The boat was super fast and we were winning everything. So once we learned what the R2AK was all about, we knew the M32 was a winning ticket.

What kinds of cool things did you see during the race?

We saw lots of sealife and birds. The phosphorescence one night — we were out past the Queen Charlottes and could see our foils glowing green under the water.

Ian Andrewes (right) and Team MAD Dog mates Randy Miller and Colin Dunphy won the Race to Alaska aboard an M32.

The 2016 winners, Team MAD Dog Racing, obliterated the previous record by more than a day, finishing in three days, 20 hours, and 13 minutes. MAD Dog Racing consists of Ian Andrewes, Randy Miller (team captain) and Colin Dunphy. We interviewed Andrewes about the prep for the 2016 race, the race itself and the team’s crazy ambition to do it again next year — even faster.

Sea: How did you find out about the R2AK? Andrewes: A friend of mine up in Port Townsend told me about it and we joked around about the perfect boat for that race.

How easy or difficult was the decisionmaking process to enter?

It was pretty easy. I was thinking about it to myself for a long time, since we started sailing the M32 offshore. It was like the three of us brought the idea up at the same time, so it was decided rather quickly that we should race.

How does one adequately prepare for such an arduous voyage?

There is a lot that goes into preparing for something like this. We had to keep our boat as light as possible with only just the absolute bare minimum brought with us. This meant we each only got a small dry bag each for spare clothes, socks, headlamp, chafe cream, etc.

We reduced the amount of water we would bring just before the start, opting to potentially drink less for the sake of speed.

What was the toughest leg of the course?

The whole thing was difficult. The start was slow and tedious. We got our butts kicked in Johnstone Strait, and the rest of the race I was so tired that I can’t remember what it was like.

What are you going to do with the $10k prize money?

Pay the tax man.

What do you all do when not racing in the R2AK? I’m a sailor by profession, and I just spent the past two years as an Olympic coach in the Nacra17 class.

What’s the plan for next year?

We are planning to do the R2AK now that they’ve announced it will run again in 2017.

We will be the same team and the same boat, although we might make some more foiling modifications to the boat. Our goal is to drop the record to less than three days.

and visiting boats should stay close to the starboard side upon entering, to avoid a rock to port. There are signs in several places restricting anchoring due to eelgrass. The inlet is well protected from potential winds and has a good-holding bottom. Many visitors elect to stern-tie to a tree on the shoreline.

IT HAD BEEN A COUPLE of years since we last visited the 55-acre, internationally acclaimed and National Historic Site Butchart Gardens (pronounced “Butch-art”), (butchartgardens. com), on Vancouver Island, B.C., and we couldn’t wait to return. The memory of fragrant flowers, the beauty of the grounds, the amazing artwork and the garden’s history were calling us back.

TOD INLET For boaters, it’s a special experience to arrive at the back gate in beautiful Butchart Cove, off Tod Inlet. Visitors are welcome to tie up overnight to four buoys (stern tie to the shore) that are provided; however, these are available at no charge on a first-come, firstserved basis. There is also a large dock for offloading passengers, dinghy mooring and floatplanes dropping off guests. Visitors are requested to moor their dinghy on the shoreline side of the float to keep the cove side available for visiting tour boats and seaplanes.

Butchart Garden employees staff a ticket booth at the top of the dock. If, for some reason, an employee is not present, press the intercom button on the locked gate and an attendant will speak to you, let you in and have you pay for admission at the main gate, across from the gift shop.

The gardens are absolutely stunning! Whether you are an avid gardener or not, you will appreciate the beauty that the grounds provide. As we walked around, our senses were awakened by the beauty, stunning colors, aromas, and textures.

TIME YOUR VISIT One of the highlights of the summer is live concerts and spectacular fireworks every Saturday night (July – August), which is included as part of your admission ticket. While literally hundreds of boaters anchor in Tod Inlet to view the fireworks from their boat, the best vantage point to see the entire show is within the gardens, on the lawn in front of the fireworks display area. The display is choreographed to music.

After the show, you can enjoy a recital from the rare Aeolian Pipe Organ located in the loft of the Organ Pavilion. Originally this building was a barn used for the milking cows. Live performances play for 30 minutes following each fireworks show.

PAST AND PRESENT In 1904, Robert Butchart and his wife, Jennie, made their home in Tod Inlet. Robert, a successful cement manufacturer, was attracted to the location because of its rich limestone deposits.

Once he had exhausted the deposits, Jennie came up with an idea to create a garden in the pit that remained. By 1920, the gardens had become so popular that they attracted up to 50,000 visitors each year. The hospitable Butcharts christened their estate “Benvenuto” (Italian for “welcome”) to greet their guests.

The grounds are filled with art objects acquired during the family’s travels.

We made our voyage to Catalina during peak season, early August, but there were plenty of moorings available on our Wednesday visit. And that’s the key. From Sunday through Wednesday (and maybe Thursday), there is availability. Yes, it requires a midweek visit, but it’s worth it — and who doesn’t like playing hooky? Harbor Patrol met us at the entrance of the harbor, collected our fee and directed us to our mooring ball.

Fees range from $37 per night for boats less than 30 feet to $80 per night for boats from 60 to 69 feet. On the other side of Casino Point are the Descano Bay and Hamilton Cove mooring fields, and an anchorage area is just outside Descano Bay.

THE FERTILE CRESCENT Get a ride from the water taxi (or the Harbor Patrol, which was the case for us) to the Green Pier aka Avalon Pier 1 , which is the jumping off point for exploring Avalon. The base of the Green Pier drops visitors right into the heart of the bustle of the downtown SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2016

GOOD EATS If there’s one thing Avalon has, it’s plenty of places to satisfy any appetite. The first restaurant on the pier that caught Stephanie’s eye was aptly called Fish and Chips 2 . Of course, she ordered … the fish and chips. Rice, French fries or coleslaw come with a plate of three fish fillets. Dine while perched on a stool and gaze out into Avalon’s harbor for a meal with a view. Cold brews and a variety of fresh seafood are also served here.

Mike opted for Bluewater Grill 3 , barely two blocks northwest of the Green Pier on Crescent Avenue, which is the main drag on the waterfront and is for pedestrians only for the three blocks from Metropole Avenue to Claressa Avenue. The grilled mahi mahi sandwich was a good choice, as was the wheat beer Mike used to wash it down. Try to get seated on the outdoor patio, for the best views.

Bluewater’s menu runs from raw shellfish to burgers, salads and steaks.

“The best center console experience that I could have ever imagined from the new Mag Bay Yachts-33’ " -10 year Picante Sportfishing client- Jim Nielsen -10 year Picante Sportfishing clientJim Nielsen

“We out-fished and out-maneuvered the big guns, got our fish and ran back to the docks. The boat is simply awesome”. fished and out-maneuvered the big guns, got our fish and ran back to the docks. The boat is simply awesome”.

- Phil GentilePhil Gentile- Picante Sportfishing Picante Sportfishing

In a short time, California based Mag Bay Yachts has set a new standard for center console design & construction.

Founded in 2014, the company’s first model is a 33’ center console designed by Michael Peters. Already the accolades are coming in from accomplished anglers, veterans of the marine industry and the boating press. Phil Gentile of Cabo San Lucas Mexico, who founded the Picante Sport fishing fleet, (Mag Bay dealer), purchased a new Mag Bay 33 for Picante’s charter operation and entered into a well-attended Tuna tournament.

On the first trip out the team landed a tuna winning them over $200,000. “the best center console on the market”. A devout Picante Sportfishing customer, - Jim Nielsen, decided to give the Mag Bay a shot. He was blown away.

Jim comments: “Throughout my salt water fishing life, I have fished thousands of hours on my own vessels & with an additional 3000 hours fishing on various yachts, center consoles, multiple Vikings and nearly all Cabo Yachts models, with the impeccable level of fit, finish & craftsmanship incorporated into the detail and engineering of this boat, “it is by far the best center console built on the market today.”

Mag Bay Quality is all about details In addition to its unique styling and fishability, the systems engineering in the Mag Bay 33’ is a work of art, as Jim will attest. will attest.

Everywhere you look; above or below deck, you see detail, thought, and flawless execution that make Mag Bay a flawless execution that make Mag Bay a standout in its class.

A refined fishing machine.

The standard deck layout features 1464 quarts of insulated storage, while including a generous fuel capacity of 340 gallons. Macerated fishboxes, and freshwater & saltwater washdown stations fwd/aft are all standard.

Mag Bay’s roots follow a 40 year heritage in building boats. Its no coincidence the Mag Bay factory is producing a level of quality that has set a new standard.

Finally, a center console that is beautiful, innovative and truly finished like a yacht.

We agree with Jim, there is no better 33’ center console on the market.

Far below Wrigley Road is Crescent Avenue and the Green Pier, where the shops and restaurants, including Fish And Chips, are concentrated in Avalon. Above Wrigley road, the former summer cottage for the Wrigley family is now the luxe Mt. Ada Bed and Breakfast.

FUN FOR ALL IN CATALINA Boaters who only have an afternoon on Catalina better be sure about what they want to do. A stay of a few days is more conducive to enjoying all the island has to offer. Mike rented a golf cart — the ubiquitous mode of transport on the island — and took a scenic drive, which took him past Mt. Ada Bed & Breakfast, which is the former Wrigley home. The view of the harbor from Wrigley Road was exceptional on a mostly clear day. Stephanie went under the waves with Catalina Adventure CA-4

Tours 4 , taking a ride on Nautilus, a semi-submersible vessel that visits the reefs and puts occupants up close with the fish and other creatures.

The bounty of other fun activities includes the Catalina Zip Line Eco Tour, which zooms down a series of five legs on a combined run of more than 3,600 feet, parasailing, glass-bottomed boats, whale watching, ghost tours and Jeep tours.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

drag is a tiled gazebo, which is visible from the boat, halfway up the hills behind Avalon. Chimes Tower 5 was built in December 1925 as a gift to the town of Avalon from Ada Elizabeth Wrigley, wife of William Wrigley Jr. The Wrigley family owned the island for a time. The tower still plays its signature melodic bells from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A little off the beaten path is the DC-3 eatery at Airport in the Sky. The Big Blue Burger is a local favorite. If you want to visit the airport, make arrangements for a shuttle from the marina. It’s about a 30-minute drive but worth the views. A popular mini-golf course, Golf Gardens 6 , is on Sumner Street, just a block inland from Crescent. Be on the lookout for friendly neighborhood cats that might stop by and visit.

Across Sumner from the mini-golf course is the quirky Island Toy Store Plus More 7 . Resident dog Django will trot up to you and likely sit on your feet begging for a pat on the head, as he did with Stephanie when she visited. The toy store carries a wide selection of pet supplies, if you’re looking for sundries for your four-legged sailors.

FEATUR E

A LIFELONG LOVE OF YACHTS THE FOUNDER OF FRASER YACHTS REMINISCES ON A LIFE BEFORE HE BECAME A TITAN OF THE YACHTING INDUSTRY.

BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT

THE COVER PHOTO OF FRASER Yachts’ Winter 2012 magazine featured a teenage David Fraser at the helm of a boat, stoically looking ahead to what proved to be an influential career selling yachts.

Fraser, 94, will tell anyone who lends him an ear his love for boating dates back to his days aboard the 185-foot schooner Anna R. Heidritter, which adorned the magazine cover. Inside the magazine are other photographs of a young Fraser interacting with the vessel that started a lifelong love affair.

A slightly different story is told by his wife, who says Fraser’s love for boats

actually goes as far back as his childhood, when he swayed back and forth on a tree-hanging swing but imagined himself rolling along the waves of the ocean while aboard a boat.

Whichever way Fraser’s love for boating and yachting started, the yacht broker’s passion for the waterways — and placing as many people onto the water as possible to share in the joys of sailing — sustained itself for an entire lifetime.

WESTWARD HO After graduating from the Citadel in South Carolina, serving in the U.S. Navy and working aboard a trading vessel, Fraser hopped into a car and drove west — all the way to California. Once there he applied for a job at a yacht brokerage. He started selling boats in Wilmington before moving to Newport Beach to do the same. Before the 1940s came to an end, Fraser founded his own brokerage: Fraser Yachts. The company has since grown into a full-service firm offering brokerage, charter and new construction services.

Fraser Yachts also expanded beyond Newport Beach, expanding into San Diego, Sausalito and Seattle in the 1960s and 1970s. Today there are offices in Seattle, San Diego, Ft. Lauderdale, the Dominican Republic, England, Monaco, Spain, Turkey, India, Spain and Australia.

While his love for boats and yachting remained true all throughout his career, Fraser said the industry has changed dramatically since the 1940s.

“I was interested in yachting and boats [since I was young], therefore the whole business was interesting to me,” Fraser CA-6

said. “When I first started, yachts were selling for peanuts of what they are today.

A boat today that would sell for $200,000 in those days was selling for $20,000; 100-foot schooners were selling for $10,000.

“There’s no comparison,” he continued.

“Yachting now has expanded 10,000 percent. There are probably 100 more yacht brokers in the business now.”

Still Fraser always maintained a personal touch when interacting with clients and selling yachts.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2016

The former yacht broker now spends his days in retirement. He still lives in his Newport Beach home, which was built in 1950 and still has the original bedrooms.

A pool is in the backyard, where Fraser swims twice each week.

Just inside the home, right by the front door, sits a leather chest once used by his grandfather during the Civil War. Down in

the basement are several artifacts, including hundreds of first-edition books and the uniform Fraser wore while in the Navy.

There is a scale model of a yacht Fraser once sold sitting on a desk. At yet another desk, where Fraser monitors the stock market from his computer, is an old telephone and the occasional boating-themed book.

Spread across the basement-level room

Fraser shows off his diploma from The Citadel and a photo of S.S. Delphine, which was named Dauntless when he served aboard her in the Navy. Other artifacts include his sea chest and a Japanese foghorn he received as a gift.

“I had a book with all these yachts by length and they would look through the book and they would say, ‘I would like to see this boat,’ and I’d go show it to them,” Fraser said, adding a combination of personality and vessel knowledge helped him close deals.

LIFE AFTER SELLING Fraser is certainly in rarefied air as someone who pursued a career fulfilling his passions while also allowing him to comfortably pay bills and raise a family.

are other boating artifacts and paintings he’s collected over the years, such as a lithograph of the entire British fleet in the early 1900s and an old Japanese fog horn.

As we were walking through his basement and observing the many artifacts and mementos, Fraser managed to find and proudly show off his degree from Citadel, which was signed by former South Carolina Gov. Strom Thurmond (before his days in the U.S. Senate).

The yacht broker said his love for being at sea aboard a vessel continued through his days at Citadel. When he was 18 years old, Fraser took a job aboard a vessel shipping coal and lumber up and down the Atlantic coast, continuing the seafaring job each summer as he completed his degree.

“Sometimes it would take us 30 days to go from New York [to destinations] south,” Fraser, who was one of four sailors aboard the schooner, recalled. “But then when the winds were fair we could make it in seven days. We did 15 knots in a fair breeze. We passed all the old freighters in those days; we’d sail right by ’em.”

Everyone had a wooden sea chest with rope handles, he added; each man’s belongings were stored in the chest. The chest weighed about 60 pounds when all of his belongings were stored inside, according to Fraser.

When he wasn’t navigating the Atlantic coast, working on a schooner or serving in the Navy, Fraser found time to participate in a few races.

“I made three races to Honolulu, I made two Miami-to-Jamaica [runs] and I made a transatlantic trek from Bermuda to Marstrand, Sweden,” said Fraser.

There are plenty more stories Fraser could share about his life, whether it be a yarn of family days in Charleston, South Carolina, a tidbit of his grandfather’s tenure with the lighthouse service, or a thread of his service as a gunnery officer aboard USS Dauntless in Washington, D.C. (which since underwent a $200 million restoration as Delphine.)

Through it all Fraser has certainly left his mark in the boating and yachting industry — and it all started with a little imagination and a fateful interaction with a schooner.

MEET HALEY STICKLER PORT CAPTAIN AT CATALINA ADVENTURE TOURS

HALEY STICKLER IS THE PORT Captain at Catalina Adventure Tours. The lifelong resident of Catalina Island has been working with the company for 13 years, operating the boats for the last eight. Catalina Adventure Tours (californiaadventuretours.com) offers different ways to enjoy the island by land or by sea, including the semi-submersible called Nautilus, which Stickler operates regularly.

Sea: What’s the most interesting thing you’ve seen doing these submarine excursions?

Stickler: Over the years I have been driving the vessels, I’ve seen a number of different things — after all, we are in the open ocean — but I’d have to say these last two years have brought up some really cool stuff with all of the warm water of the El Niño. We currently have a 60-pound green sea turtle. At first we thought it was just stopping in for a visit, but it appears to have taken up residence in our little cove. We had up to four turtles visit the cove last summer, but this one has stuck around all year long.

I hope that visitors have fun and maybe learn something new about our waters. A garabaldi is not just a big goldfish — it’s the state marine fish of California. Nautilus travels through Lovers Cove, which is still open ocean — it’s not an aquarium — and every day we have the chance to experience something new.

What is your favorite thing about Catalina Island?

I love Catalina. It’s my home, it has a small town vibe and is just far enough away that you feel like you are very far away from all of the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.

Tell us about how passengers are able to feed the fish from their underwater perch.

When the boat was being designed, the owner wanted to add something that no other boat had. Our glass-bottom boat, The Sea View, has feeding tubes for passengers to feed the fish themselves, so he had to get really creative for passengers on Nautilus to be able to feed the fish while they were sitting underwater. He had a friend and inventor design and build our one-of-a-kind fish-food torpedoes. I cannot say how they are designed — that is top secret — but from the passenger area, guests can purchase “shots” and press a red button to feed the fish right outside their window. We are the only vessel around that has these.

The fish food we use is in pellet form and approved by the Department of Fish and Game to feed in the Marine Reserve. On Nautilus, we just feed them in a pretty cool way.

What are the most common fish around Catalina, and some more rare ones to look out for?

The common fish include calico/kelp bass, opaleye, garabaldi (California state marine fish) and halfmoon perch. Common marine mammals include California sea lions and harbor seals.

More “rare” sightings in the cove include giant sea bass, Rizzo dolphins, humpback whales and larger sharks such as the mako and great white, which only visit about one or two days out of the year.

What do you hope that people take away from their time on Nautilus?

CAPITOLA, CALIF CAPITOLA IS A PICTURESQUE TOWN nestled on the central California coast, just east of Santa Cruz. You can spot Capitola from the water by finding the distinct line of colorful beachfront condominiums, now known as The Venetian Hotel. This landmark hotel has been designated on the Register of National Historic Places as “the first Condominium Beach Community in the United States, built in 1924.” The hotel sits among a stretch of trendy shops and restaurants by the shore that connects directly to the fishing wharf and a sandy beach.

THE ANNUAL BEGONIA Festival takes place during Labor

Day weekend each year and includes sand sculpture contests, a fishing derby, a row boat race and even a nautical parade of begonia-laden floats traveling down Soquel Creek. (begoniafestival.com)

BIRDS! IN THE summer of 1961, hundreds of birds descended on the town and attacked residents aggressively. Since Alfred Hitchcock was a regular visitor to neighboring Santa Cruz, he was

inspired to direct the film “The Birds,” which went on to be one of the most famous horror films of all time. It’s thought that the birds were acting strangely because of demoic acid poisoning due to an algae bloom.

RIGHT OFF THE main drag and boardwalk is Capitola City

Beach. A beautiful pier frames an idyllic beach with surfers and plenty of sand to stretch out and relax. It can get a little crowded during the summer months, but there’s a reason it’s so popular.

MICHAEL B. WIEST, a longtime

Wiest was born in Salem, Ore., on Jan. 18, 1948, grew up in Chiloquin, Ore., and graduated from Chiloquin High School in 1966. After high school, he served four years in the U.S. Navy, which motivated him to pursue a career in the boating business.

He joined John Beery Yacht Sales in Alameda, Calif., in the 1970s and continued his career in yacht brokerage for almost 40 years, working for Nor Cal Yachts, Jack Dorsee Yachts, McKinna Yachts, Ballena Bay Yachts, Crow’s Nest Yachts and finally his own brokerage, Yachts Pacific, which was renamed Michael Wiest Yacht Sales, based at Emeryville Marina on the East Bay. As he gradually wound down his

day-to-day involvement with the brokerage office, he and his partner, Patty Brown, bought and ran the Sun Pass Ranch B & B in Fort Klamath for the past 11 years.

After retiring from the bed and breakfast about a year ago, he fully retired from the brokerage business, and Brown and Wiest purchased, restored and refurbished a 53-foot Pearson sailboat named Emme.

Based in Marathon in the Florida Keys, they enjoyed sailing in the local area, the highlight being a recent voyage to Havana, Cuba.

NOVEMBER’S QUESTION:

What is the potential downside to a transaction outside the scope of the brokerage framework, especially when it comes to the deposit, which can be considerable?

For this month’s answer, we consulted our own content. Our August feature, “Buying or Selling Solo,” addressed this very question, and our writer even found an anecdote from a broker that illustrates the problem perfectly. The full feature is on page 46 of the August issue and online at seamagazine. com/buying-selling-solo. The pertinent portion is here.

Because buying and selling yachts is now a global business, often the buyer doesn’t actually see the yacht he’s purchasing, but rather relies on photos, video and data on

“When the buyer went to pick up the boat, it was not what was represented,” said Matt Maynard broker and owner of Irwin Yacht Sales in Portland, Ore., and Seattle. “He gave the gentleman a deposit and had to go to small claims court to sue the gentleman to get the money back. The buyer ended up losing.”

Maynard said if the deal had been done properly, the deposit would have been held in the broker’s trust account, with an agreement signed by both buyer and seller on how the deposit would have been handled.

All the buyer and seller had was their word, which is fine as far as that goes.

YachtWorld to make his decision.

For example, a buyer in Seattle made a deal on a boat near Boston but didn’t use a broker and plunked down a sizable deposit directly to the seller’s bank account.



“All the buyer and seller had was their word, which is fine as far as that goes,” Maynard said. “Brokers are held to a higher legal standard. That’s why we advise to always use a broker.”

MORE INPUT THE CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL Yacht

Brokers’ website deals with this question.

Here’s what CPYB has to say about the matter of deposits and other funds.

In the website area titled Selling/Buying Your Vessel, there’s this:

Safeguard Funds A Yacht Sales Professional will safeguard funds in an escrow account. They will assure that any existing loan or other encumbrances will be paid off, or otherwise satisfied, at the time of closing and that no other liabilities remain outstanding. This is critically important to the buyer and the seller, and can be a potentially serious hazard in a private transaction not involving a broker.

The new era of Riviera Flybridge motor yachts embody an ethos of evolution.

They are true blue water yachts that can safely and comfortably take you out to the canyons as much as they can provide a haven of luxury in a sheltered harbor.

With the unique versatility of a Riviera, you can create your own yacht around your own passions — fishing, cruising or both.

Riviera’s technology and design is in a true class of its own and is now making boating easier and even more pleasurable. To fully appreciate our advances, we invite you to step aboard and experience the Riviera difference.
