IT’S HERE! T

HIS IS THE month. It’s finally here. May is the time, with Memorial Day occupying the final Monday and giving boaters a three-day weekend to kick boating season into gear. Our advice, as always, is to have fun. What is boating if nobody is having fun? But, as always, we add the caveat to be safe.

Now’s the time to begin prepping the boat for the season, if you haven’t begun to do it already. Dust off those checklists and get to work. Check the VHF, seacocks, flares, life jackets, life rafts, engine filters, oil and the myriad other items that are vital to a boat’s health and its occupants’ safety. Anyone in doubt about his boat’s preparedness — or wanting to confirm its Coast Guard-readiness — should schedule a Vessel Safety Check through the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Those folks will give any boat the once-over and issue recommendations for getting it ready for an on-the-water Coast Guard inspection, should a boat be boarded. Visit cgaux.org/vsc/ for more info.

On another safety-related note, May 20-26 is National Safe Boating Week, driven by the North American Safe Boating Campaign. Events such as Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day will take place all week, as a way to remind boaters about the importance of practicing safe boating. Check out safeboatingcampaign.com to find out more or to take part.

Even NOAA as gotten in on the Safe Boating Week action. The National Weather Service partnered with the National Safe Boating Council and will broadcast public service announcements on NOAA Weather

Our advice, as always, is to have fun.

Radio All Hazards. Topics will include Distress Beacons, Thunderstorm Safety, Boating Under the Influence and more.

A different safety message will appear each day. Check out nws. noaa.gov/safeboating.

One more thing that ties into Safe Boating Week but will serve boaters through the season, however long it is in their location, is the U.S Coast Guard Mobile App (uscg.mil/mobile).

It’s free, created and supported by the nation’s recreational boating safety coordinator, and works on Android and Apple devices. Check out the list of included features: state boating information; a safety equipment checklist; free boating safety check requests; navigation rules; float plans; and calling features to report pollution or suspicious activity. Users who have location services enabled can receive the latest weather reports from the closest NOAA weather buoys, report the location of a hazard on the water and use the emergency assistance button, which will call the nearest Coast Guard command center.

All in all, it’s easier to stay safe than ever, and connecting with authorities in the case of an emergency is push-button easy.

So get out there and have fun.

LEAD BOAT // ARCADIA A100

Arcadia Yachts have a distinctive look about them.

The look begins with a conventional enough semi-planing fiberglass hull — though that comes in “its optimal form and most hydrodynamically efficient length-beam ratio,” as tested at the Physical Laboratory of England — but then quickly sets itself apart with the superstructure, which is somewhat rounded and full of angles at the same time. And on the builder’s new A100, the superstructure is encased in tinted window glass that has a secret: most of the windows are actually photovoltaic cells — 50 square meters of them — that create enough power for the yacht’s at-anchor energy requirements, with the exception of air conditioning and the induction cooker in the galley.

While the salon and dining room on the main deck are eye-catching features and utilize opening side windows to create an entirely open but covered space, hull #1 has a show-stealer. The master stateroom is on the main deck, all the way forward, inside a greenhouse-looking structure of windows and a glazed-glass ceiling. With 180-degree views during the day and at night, sleeping under the stars becomes a climate-controlled treat. On the standard plan, this space is a family room, but the first buyer chose to make it an owner’s retreat. We can see why.

Five cabins occupy the belowdecks space — a full-beam VIP, two twin-berths, a queen and a bunk room — making hull #1 a six-cabin vessel (plus crew quarters). En suite heads come with each cabin.

The top deck is a skylounge with a helm, and it can convert to an open flybridge, because the side windows can be raised to the hardtop and open things to the outside.

Perfect days can be enjoyed and inclement days can be spent in protected comfort.

Twin MAN V-8s power the first hull. With a combined 2,000 hp, the diesels push the A100 to 18 knots and cruise at 16. At 10 knots, the engines burn just 13.2 gph, giving the yacht a 2,880-mile range (with a 10 percent reserve) on its 4,225 gallon capacity. Arcadia Yachts, arcadiayachts.it

Baptism by Fire(boat)

A new state-of-the-art fireboat was christened in October for the San Francisco Fire Department. St. Francis joins Phoenix and Guardian as the three fireboats under the city’s command. The new addition, which is 88 feet long and can pump up to 18,000 gallons of water per minute, will assist with rescuing distressed swimmers when it isn’t engaged in its purpose-built activity. Designed by Jensen Maritime and built in Seattle at Vigor Industrial, the new boat was dedicated on the 27th anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, during which Phoenix played on important role in containing a waterfront fire.

ANATOMY LESSON

YACHT TOY

YACHT OWNERS ARE ALWAYS looking for

toys to make the on- and off-the-boat experience better. We figure a personal propulsion toy that can travel at 12.5 mph underwater and reach a depth of 130 feet qualifies. The SEABOB F5 SR from Germany-based Cayago can pull riders on top of the water at better than 13 mph and record the action for posterity. (seabob.com)

The E-Jet Power System is 10 percent more powerful than on previous models.

Handles facilitate carrying the 75-pound machine.

The cockpit display keeps the driver fully informed: depth, water temp, speed, battery life and more.

Displacement

We gave full sea trials to 25 boats in 2016, and those boats had a combined displacement of about 1,217,745 pounds, which amounts to roughly 146,013 gallons of fresh water (using 8.34 pounds per gallon). That much water could:

Movie Magic

IT’S BEEN 20 YEARS SINCE James Cameron released the smash (pun intended) hit film “Titanic.”

Check out these boating-related facts from the film.

 It cost more money to make the movie ($200 million) than it did to actually construct the original ship ($7.5 million, or $150 million adjusted for inflation).

 The piece of wood (spoiler alert) that Rose floats on to survive is based on a real piece of wreckage from Titanic.

 Only the starboard half of the ship set was completed.

MEXICOREPORT

BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

SPRING

By May the cold fronts, which are a feature of winter and early spring, have mostly stopped invading California and Baja California waters. The Pacific High, which lasts nearly until November, is settling into its quasi-stationary position between Hawaii and California. The U.S. interior deserts are heating up and the hot air rising out of them creates what is known as the Yuma Low. The clockwise rotation of air around the Pacific High feeds into this low and creates strong northwesterlies along the Baja peninsula.

Such winds often blow 20 knots or more and can last for days — hence, the Baja Bash for boaters returning from Mexico.

May and June typically have the strongest winds, which gradually slack off in the summer months. April is a transition month and not a bad time to give it a try.

WINTER

HOW TO PLAN A BETTER BASH

WHILE THE CONDITIONS FOR THE BAJA BASH ARE INEVITABLE, FACING THEM DOESN’T HAVE TO BE.

T

HE ANNUAL MIGRATION of boaters in and out of Mexico is controlled by hurricane

season. Most boaters head south in early November, when hurricanes have just ended, and return north in May before the tropical storms begin again in June. But is May the best time to head home? Boaters who go then are pushing against the strong prevailing northwesterlies, which give the northbound trip its name: the Baja Bash. If not then, when is the best time to come home?

The surprising answer is that May is often the toughest month with the strongest northwesterlies. November, just when most boaters are headed south, is when the northwesterlies are lightest and, therefore, would be the easiest time to head north on the Baja coast.

By November the deserts are cooling off and the Pacific High is breaking down, which allows cold fronts to make their first weak forays into these waters.

Consequently, winds are light along the Baja coast, so it’s a great time to be headed north. As winter progresses, more cold fronts invade and block the building of the high and its subsequent northwest winds.

When a low-pressure system approaches the coast of California, winds can be light along the Baja coast. The strongest of these fronts will on rare occasions reach all the way to Cabo San Lucas and must be watched out for. But overall, winter is a good time to be returning from Mexico.

In planning a Mexico trip, use this information to your advantage. For a yearlong trip, leave in November and return in November. For the typical one-season cruising itinerary — traditionally, leave in November, come back in May — think about coming back in April instead. It cuts the trip short by a month, but the return will be drastically easier. Alternatively, return from Cabo San Lucas as late as July 15. It won’t be as good as a November return, but the northwesterlies will have died down from their May peak. Even though a small risk of hurricanes exists,

14 SEAMAGAZINE.COM MAY 2017

+ Sea Mexico Report2.indd 14

3/30/17 2:49 PM

it is very rare for them to reach the Baja peninsula before mid-July. However, check with your insurance company. While some will allow a departure at this time, others will require a return before May 30.

How cool is that?

RETURN ROUTING Regardless of the timing of the return trip, stay within five miles of shore, where practicable. The winds are stronger farther offshore, and they blow day and night, almost like a trade wind. Being close in takes advantage of the diurnal land/sea breeze effect.

During the day the land heats up while the sea remains relatively cool. Hot air rises and the cool air over the water rushes toward the land to fill the lower pressure created by the hot air’s rising. At night the opposite happens. The land cools off more quickly than the ocean, at which point the cooler air subsides and blows toward the ocean. Land breezes are typically weaker than sea breezes.

Close along the Baja shore, the normal cycle of land/ sea breezes means that, generally, from about midnight until about 10 a.m. a light northwest wind blows, which makes it fairly easy — or at least tolerable — to travel northwest up Baja. However, around 10 a.m., the wind begins to fill in from the northwest, which is right on northbound boats’ nose. That northwest wind usually builds to a peak about sunset, then gradually subsides throughout the evening.

The trick to minimizing the bash is to take advantage of the land/sea cycle. That means boaters will be

underway at night, from about sunset until about 10 a.m., when traveling conditions should be more favorable. Nighttime running requires sharp navigation and extra vigilance from the watchstanders, even though it’s contrary to most people’s normal sleep cycle. Don’t worry; when it’s rough outside, it’s usually too difficult for anyone “off watch” to sleep anyway.

Sleeping during the day is the other half of this trick. It’s only possible after the boat has been tucked into a nicely protected anchorage with no rock and roll. Daylight allows people to see hazards before they set the hook. Most crews will establish their radar’s perimeter alarm or leave one crewmember awake on “anchor watch.”

Along some stretches of the Baja coast, anchorages that are reliably sheltered from northwest winds are few and far between.

Slower boats may still have to run 24 hours between restful anchorages. The faster the boat, the easier it is to take advantage of this midnight-to-10 a.m. trick.

Most important, if the forecast is good for several days, take advantage of it and keep moving, avoiding any stops other than for fuel. You might get tired, but consider yourself lucky instead.

Departing from Cabo San Lucas, run within five miles of shore to Mag Bay. Along this 150-mile stretch there are no anchorages.

From Mag Bay to Santa Maria is only 30 miles. From Santa Maria turn due north to San Juanico, which is 97 miles away. Many boaters are tempted to take a straight shot from Santa Maria to Turtle Bay, but this takes them well offshore where it gets very rough.

Heading to San Juanico keeps the route closer to shore where it is calmer. The 160-mile stretch from San Juanico to Turtle Bay includes several well-placed anchorages for shorter runs: Abreojos, Hipolito and Asuncion.

From Turtle Bay, pass outside Isla Natividad and Cedros Islands for 57 miles to anchor at San Benitos. This is an offshore leg that can’t be avoided, because the coastal route inside of the huge bight of Bahia Vizcaino is very long and out of the way and includes dangerous currents and shoals. From San Benitos to San Quintin is 126 miles and potentially the roughest part of the Baja return. Winds and seas should subside closer to the coast.

Then run from San Quintin to Ensenada (107 miles) to clear out of the country. Complete the remaining 60 miles to the Custom’s Dock in San Diego, and the Baja Bash is behind you.

Mini-Cruise

Just because it only lasts several hours doesn’t mean a daytrip to Catalina Island isn’t a cruise unto itself.

By Mike Werling and Stephanie Shibata

Catalina Island beckons in the distance.

Southern California’s island jewel is visible from farther away than on many days.

The haze seems thinner than normal, timid, not really robust in its mission to obscure the horizon. The water has a slight roll to it, but no real chop. Even the sea life is elusive. No whales have breached or even spouted, and only a few dolphins have broken the surface, and they were more interested in filling their belly than entertaining us. It’s a Wednesday, so perhaps the conditions and creatures are feeling the midweek ennui that affects so many people trapped at their desk.

Mini-Cruise

We — Sea managing editor Mike Werling, Sea assistant editor Stephanie Shibata, Stan Miller Yachts salesman Geoff Swing and Werling’s wife, Dawn — are feeling none of the Wednesday wishy-washiness, because the island visible through the weak haze is our destination. Our day is going to be better than most. We are dayboating on an MJM Yachts 40z, but not just around the harbor or to Dana Point or Long Beach for lunch. It’s not just dayboating, it’s day-cruising. We are headed for the island, just for the day — the afternoon, really — which is something too many SoCal boaters forget they can do.

Is Catalina better for a weekend excursion rather than for a day? Yeah, that’s probably accurate. But that doesn’t make it any less appealing as a day-cruise destination. Play hooky on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday — we are working, not playing hooky; we’d never condone that, wink wink — and finding a mooring shouldn’t be a problem. Heck, we are here in early August at the height of the season and have no trouble. Getting around town is easier midweek, too, as is finding a table for lunch or dinner.

DAYBOATS & MORE

We published a feature a few years ago about dayboats. Our writer examined what dayboats are and how their capabilities have expanded over the years. He labeled dayboats “made-for-the-way-you-reallyboat” boats. Our ride for the day, and several other dayboats I’ve seen recently, certainly fits that description. They have amenities that stretch beyond a day on the water, but they don’t waste space on features that will hardly ever get used.

Our writer went further: The term dayboat suggests a boat made for harbor-hopping and little more. Au contraire. These boats are perfect for coastal cruising, and if you find the weather not to your liking, they’re fast enough to get you into shelter quickly. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t seaworthy. You may not want to cruise your dayboat to Alaska, but other dayboat owners have. You may not want to run from Southern California to the tip of Baja on a dayboat, but other

dayboat owners have. Bottom line: Dayboats are surprisingly tough, and you’ll probably want to head back before they do.

(See Our Ride for evidence of this.)

THE ISLAND

A flash of color streaks through the haze.

A parasail. It’s a popular activity in the water just off Catalina, one the Werlings have done in the past. We’re not taking to the air today, but the sight of a parasail means we’re getting closer to Avalon, which is confirmed by the increasing size of the Casino through the camera lens. Other landmarks are filling the viewfinder, too:

Descano Beach, the Green Pier, Chimes Tower, a passenger ferry arriving from Long Beach. Werling tells his fellow passengers he sees a buffalo, but everyone’s fairly certain it is a tree or a bush. The last time his wife and he visited, they took a Jeep ride around the island and saw several of the furry, horned beasts up close, so he knows they’re big but probably not see-them-from-several-miles-away big.

We are holding out hope for a whale or even a pod of dolphins, but they are proving as elusive as Nessie. Instead, we reach the mouth of the harbor empty-handed, so to speak. The harbor patrol officer meets us to collect our mooring fee for the day and assign us a mooring ball (see Grab a Mooring for information on daily rates).

With the administrative duties out of the way, we find our spot, tie up and catch a ride to the Green Pier. There we split up.

Shibata grabs a bite at a local on-the-pier lunch spot, Earl & Rosie’s Fish and Chips, while Swing and the Werlings head to Bluewater Grill.

After our respective repasts, it’s time for activities. Swing heads back to the boat to do some work (see, no hooky) while Shibata takes a dive — she rides in a semi-submersible called Nautilus with Catalina Adventure Tours — and the Werlings hit the slopes — they rent a golf

Mike and Dawn Werling relax during the return trip.

Stephanie Shibata keeps a lookout for sea life.

Parasailing is one of the more popular activities in the waters just off Catalina Island. It’s a thrilling way to get a view of Avalon Harbor and its surroundings from a unique perspective. The Inn at Mt. Ada — formerly the Wrigley home — is a dignified presence on the hillside above Avalon. Stay there for the weekend or enjoy lunch (by reservation). On the Green Pier, which is the hub of activity for waterbased activities in Avalon, is a green building that houses the harbor offices, a restaurant and more. From the land end of the pier, all of Avalon is accessible.

Geoff Swing stays alert despite a decided lack of boat traffic on a Wednesday.

It’s not just dayboating — it’s day-cruising. We are headed for the island, just for the day — the afternoon really.

Mini-Cruise cart and head for the high ground to get a view of the island and the surrounding ocean.

From atop the hillside south of the harbor, golf cart parked on the side of Wrigley Road, our view is expansive on a rapidly clearing day. The hills to the north, west and south are brown and lifeless, a testament to the years-old drought in California and a reminder of the Island Fire that threatened the town of Avalon in 2007. Lovers Cove is serene, and boats bob at anchor north and east of it. A colorful parasail floats silently above and behind a towboat we can barely hear.

Avalon Harbor is tranquil; it looks like a setting in a miniature tabletop town. This view — postcard-worthy and chamber of commerce– endorsed — is one of the attractions that brings boaters and ferry passengers to the island by the hundreds every summer weekend, and for much of the off-season. The view from the zip line farther north is likely just as good — and probably infinitely more thrilling — but we haven’t tried that attraction yet, and won’t during this trip.

Shibata’s view is less expansive but equally impressive in its own way. She’s staring at sea life, including a giant sea turtle, through a porthole on Nautilus, oohing and aahing at the variety of fish swimming past and right up to her window to the underwater world. As an added bonus, she touches a button that releases fish food into the water right outside her porthole, and the fish swarm. OK, technically fish school, but that doesn’t sound as visually impressive.

Dining options start on the Green Pier and are available all along Crescent Avenue and its offshoots. The semi-submersible Nautilus takes passengers for an underwater adventure with the local sea life

WEST COAST DAY-CRUISING

Our Ride We were fortunate to have Geoff Swing from Stan Miller Yachts as our captain for the day and an MJM Yachts 40z — a Downeast-style boat with a Doug Zurn-designed hull from a Newport, R.I.-based builder (mjmyachts.com) that prides itself on its boats’ seakeeping ability — as our ride. The 44-foot 40z is designed and built to ISO Category A Ocean specs, meaning it can handle wave heights to 23 feet and winds of Beaufort Force 9 (41 to 47 knots).

Fortunately, the weather was near perfect for us, so we didn’t have to put that category rating to the test, but the boat did have a Seakeeper gyro, and that was engaged for the whole trip. The water between the mainland and Catalina didn’t put the gyro to much of a test, but I’ve been on Seakeeper-equipped boats in much rougher seas, and the ride was level from side to side, just like it was for us.

We published a sea trial of the 40z back in 2013, and our tester, Capt. Tom Serio, was suitably impressed, especially since his test day was somewhat snotty and the 40z still reached 36 knots. His summation went like this: “With the ability to run in tough conditions while protecting passengers from the elements, the MJM 40z is truly a yacht for all seasons.”

And since we only have a season or two in California, we’ll amend that to read a boat for all days.

Grab a Mooring The latest information available before we went to press indicated that the following rates are current for Avalon Harbor: Boat Length 30 feet and under 40 to 49 feet 50 to 59 feet 60 to 69 feet 70 to 79 feet 80 to 89 feet 100 feet and over

Per-Night Rate $37 $50 $61 $80 $98 $111 $149

Western boaters are fortunate to have a variety of locations suited to dayboating, whether that’s the more traditional and staid version of the activity or a more vigorous version. In California, San Diego boat owners — and the many Arizonans who keep a condo on the water — have San Diego Bay, a buffered boating haven with full-speed waters just outside the protection of Shelter and Harbor islands, the Embarcadero and other spots. Plus, all sorts of cool Navy ships and aircraft use the bay, so it’s possible to get up close and personal with bad-ass military machines — just keep a respectful distance.

Newport Harbor is a dayboating sanctuary that itself holds an entire day’s worth of activities for a group that truly wants to take it slow and easy, but it’s also a spot from where boaters can hug the coast to Oceanside or Long Beach or, like we’re doing, head to Catalina. San Francisco Bay and its offshoots make the Bay Area ideal for day-cruises. Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge get all the press, but the big bay is full of places to go and see.

The day-cruising possibilities in the Pacific Northwest are nearly endless. Islands abound. Protected passages proliferate. Quaint, quirky marinas are manifold. The San Juan and Gulf Islands are reachable in no time from many launching points in upstate Washington and southeast Vancouver Island, as our friend and frequent contributor Deane Hislop will attest.

So if dayboating sounds too tame, tell folks you’re day-cruising. It will work, especially if there’s an island involved. And the type of boat really doesn’t matter. Sure, a layout that gets as many passengers as possible outside is going to be preferred, but is someone really going to turn down a trip to the island for parasailing or a different harbor for lunch at a favorite restaurant just because the boat’s design doesn’t “look” right? We think not.

REALITY CHECK

We’re heading home with a freshening breeze to our back and a slightly choppier sea than we’d had on the outbound journey. No matter. The Seakeeper 5 gyro keeps the boat solid and level. That’s an advancement boat owners are sure to take advantage of, especially if they like to drift with the current and fish all day. And with the gyro units getting smaller, more and more boats can install them.

Shibata and Dawn manage to catch a little shuteye while Swing and Werling converse at the helm. Again the sea life proves to be elusive, still not over its hump-day ho-hums, but a cold beer, leftover donuts, a warm breeze and the soothing motion of the ocean are enough. Heck, not being stuck behind a desk is enough; being on the water is the icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae, the olive in the martini.

The autopilot is locked in on the entrance to Newport Harbor, and the engines are comfortably pushing us along at 21 knots and getting better than 1.5 mpg. We’re in a 36- to 38-knot boat, so we could be cruising much faster, but the day is warm, the gyro makes it feel like we’re cruising on glass, the “workday” is drawing to a close and the coast is dancing mesmerizingly on the horizon. Who’s in a hurry to get back?

anodes // grid’s rant

ALL ABOUT ANODES WOULD A “ZINC” MADE OF ANOTHER MATERIAL STILL WORK AS WELL? OR PERHAPS BETTER?

BY ROGER MCAFEE

W

HEN A BOATER says he’s putting new zincs on his boat, I’m reminded of the times

we used to say “let’s go for a beer,” even though almost nobody in the group drank beer. Scotch or rum was preferred! It was merely an expression. Unfortunately for many boaters, when they have sacrificial anodes installed, the “zincs” are, in fact, made of zinc, even though there are sacrificial anodes made of a material that might well do a better job.

Sacrificial anodes are necessary to combat galvanic corrosion in metal structures.

Boaters most often think of galvanic corrosion, and the problems it causes, in relationship to boats only. In fact pipelines and most other metal infrastructure projects also have problems with galvanic corrosion.

Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are immersed in an electrolyte. Sea water is a great electrolyte.

Fresh and brackish water also act as electrolytes, but not with the same vigor as salt water. When the two dissimilar metals are immersed in salt water, a flow of electrons moves from one to the other.

Without getting into to the eye-glazing electro-chemical details, I’ll simply say this flow is what causes the corrosion.

A constant push by environmentalists has created a mindset among many folks that the metallic zinc, when it dissolves in water, is not environmentally friendly.

Zinc, in large amounts, has, in fact, been found to be harmful to marine life, and that fact has led to pressure in some jurisdictions to ban the use of sacrificial zinc.

Some zinc anodes also contain cadmium, a heavy metal that can be a serious health hazard.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a regulation in place that requires sacrificial anodes on all commercial vessels shorter than 80 feet to be environmentally friendly “… to the extent technologically feasible and economically practical and achievable.” While the wording of the regulation is, legally, nothing more than a “suggestion,” it does indicate the likely direction the matter of sacrificial anodes is heading. This regulation does not yet apply to pleasureboats.

The EPA also notes “…magnesium is less toxic than aluminum, and aluminum is less toxic than zinc.”

Generally speaking, sacrificial anodes made of zinc work well in salt water, magnesium anodes work best in fresh water and aluminum anodes work well in salt, brackish and fresh water. It appears

THEEXPERTS the use of aluminum sacrificial anodes satisfies both the environmentalists and boat operators — something one rarely sees. The aluminum anodes are alloyed (often with very small amounts of zinc, iron, and indium) so they are more negative on the galvanic scale than zinc anodes and they, therefore, provide better corrosion protection.

In terms of longevity, an aluminum anode lasts between 30 and 50 percent longer than an anode made of zinc, depending on the manufacturer. A magnesium anode will last only about one-third as long as a similarly sized zinc anode. In some markets the aluminum anodes cost a bit more than those made of the more traditional zinc material, but because they

last longer, overall cost is about the same or even less.

The aluminum anodes now on the market are considered by many the “best” type of sacrificial anodes available, for a number of reasons: • They do a better job of protection than the traditional zinc anodes.

• They are accepted by various sterndrive manufacturers as the best material to use.

• They last longer.

• They can be safely used in salt, fresh or brackish water.

• They are environmentally friendlier than the alternatives.

Aluminum sacrificial anodes are readily available, but anodes made of zinc continue to “hold on” because boaters, and many small service yards, have simply not kept up with sacrificial anode technology. To them, “a zinc is a zinc.” Another reason is the manufacturers of sacrificial anodes have not properly informed the boating public of changes in the technology. Most of them make anodes of both aluminum and zinc, and they make as much selling one as the other, so they are not financially motivated to spend money on advertising or marketing.

The world’s largest manufacturer of sacrificial anodes for pleasure vessels is Richmond, B.C.-based Canada Metal (Pacific) Ltd. Its anodes are sold under the Martyr brand name.

Tyler Seebach, Canada Metal’s vice president of marine sales, said more boaters are becoming aware of the advantages of sacrificial anodes made of aluminum. As a result, the sale of pleasureboat sacrificial anodes made of aluminum has steadily increased 10 percent a year over the past six years.

I’ve limited this story to sacrificial anodes. Boaters who want a more detailed marine and technical electro-chemical corrosion discussion can consult a number of books on the market, two of which are most useful. “The Boatowner’s Guide To Corrosion” is written by Everett Collier and is published by McGraw-Hill. Nigel Warren’s “Metal Corrosion In Boats” is the other. The well-respected naval architect and marine writer’s book is published by Adlard Cole Nautical.

SURVEYS: SCIENCE & ART

A

LMOST 20 YEARS ago as The Nurse and I were growing our mobile marine service business, we would send out postage-paid, pre-printed “tell us how we did” cards with the bills. The only customer reference on the back was the repair order number, allowing the client anonymity. Rather than cringe when cards were returned, we used the information to be more meticulous in our work-area cleanup; to type, rather than write, the invoices; and to make sure complaints were addressed first.

Most often, surveys help. At least a good one will help a dealer.

Any survey that isn’t read just gave the USPO 47 cents to deliver toilet paper. Examples: • I have written the world’s largest “box store” headquarters, praising one store’s employees and pointing out shortcomings of another store, adding that the first store should be used to train new employees how to make the customer want to come back, rather than head for Costco or Target.

• I have written a huge boat insurer, identifying instances in which the adjustors signed off on claims that should never have been finalized.

• The Nurse and I wanted to make a relative in a rehab center feel better, so we went online and ordered pajamas and a lounging outfit for her. Before the party received the items, the seller wanted us to rate (1-10) the outfit. That was also before we knew it had been delivered. Even though this was specifically ordered for a female, they wanted to know how I — a male — liked the lounge suit.

What’s the thread running through these examples? Not one reply, regardless if my opinion was solicited or not. If you wanted to stay a step ahead of the competition and thought that surveys were the answer, why wouldn’t you consider the responses?

I am a firm believer that a business can only be made stronger through customers’ identification of weaknesses and strengths. If a business chooses not to respond to someone who has taken the time to help — and giving a free soda to a restaurant’s respondent is good — then it does so at its own risk.

Remember, thanks to you, one boat manufacturer stopped mounting the bilge pump in the bilge directly under the engine’s oil pan where it was hopelessly inaccessible; several outboard manufacturers responded to complaints of excessive engine weight and brought forth lighter models; yet another boat manufacturer was told that using two-liter plastic soda bottles instead of foam blocks was a recipe for disaster.

You can make a difference! Fill out the surveys, write letters.

Someday, someone will pick up your letter and do something.

NORTH PACIFIC

62 EXPLORER THE BUILDER’S NEW FLAGSHIP IS A DEPARTURE FROM TRADITION: A MOTORYACHT WITHOUT A PILOTHOUSE.

I



T’S ALWAYS EXCITING when a boat builder introduces a new series of yachts to its lineup.

And when the first yacht in that series is also the flagship for the entire lineup, the excitement level gets amped up. Throw in the fact that the new flagship is also a new style of yacht, and things can get really interesting.

Such is the case with the North Pacific 62 Explorer, the first yacht in the builder’s Explorer series, which will feature motoryachts, not pilothouse yachts. Two of the differences between the Explorer line and other North Pacific yachts — a sleeker look and a more modern interior — are visible to the discerning eye, while the other big difference — increased speed — can only be experienced underway. It’s amazing what an aft-sloping windshield vs. a forward-canted one does for a yacht’s appearance, making it look sleeker and faster, and longer windows in the hull and the cabin house add to the effect.

In the main cabin, the galley is aft and the salon is forward, directly aft of the helm station, where twin captain’s chairs front a console with room for two of the larger MFDs out there. Two barrel chairs are opposite the salon settee, which wraps around three sides of a dining table.

Belowdecks are three staterooms, including a full-bean en suite master, a bow VIP and a guest room to port. The forward two rooms share a head that includes an enclosed shower stall. The master head is a three-section affair with the toilet in its own room aft, a countertop and sink in the middle and a shower stall forward.

Up on the flybridge is a second helm, a large sunpad beside the helm and under the hardtop, a C-shaped settee with a table to port, a wet bar and a second sunpad aft, out from under cover of the hardtop, for the true sun-seekers. A third sunpad is in the bow forward of the main cabin. It shares its space with a bench settee that faces forward, creating a nice outdoor social space.

While there wasn’t a 62E in the water as of press time, builder literature says the yacht will cruise easily in the high teens and reach a top speed of about 22 knots.

INSIDE OUT

THE NEW BENETEAU GRAN TURISMO 46 BLENDS OUTSIDE AND INSIDE SEAMLESSLY.

Q

UESTION: HOW DO you use all the indoor and outdoor space aboard the new Beneteau Gran Turismo 46? Answer: Any way you want.

A cross between an express boat and a motoryacht, the GT 46 is “from-the-hull-up” new, and though it replaces the existing GT 44, its transformation has been so complete there’s really little comparison. The new design blends the inside and outside so well, passengers will barely notice they’ve stepped from one to the other.

Boat builders often use the same hull to create new models, stretching or shrinking the overall footprint, tweaking the deck and maybe rearranging the layout. And there’s nothing wrong with that, but it does make one appreciate when a boat gets a real makeover, hull and all. Such is the case with Beneteau’s newest Gran Turismo, the GT 46, which looks different from the bottom up.

Beneteau incorporated the new and improved AirStep2 hull, which reduces friction between the hull and the water by injecting air from vents along the hull sides. It creates an air cushion under the aft one-third of the hull, reducing “stickiness” and therefore fuel consumption, and allowing the boat to accelerate faster. The new version channels air to the midsection and back out at the transom as before but without the need for air intake tubes.

ON DECK The vessel’s profile has changed too. The GT 46 now has two rows of glass on the



TESTER’S OPINION

sides of the cabin house, a stacked effect of windows that makes it lighter inside but also adds a bit of weightlessness to its overall appearance. The windows and the enormous sunroof open electrically, all of which make the boat feel like a convertible. The mullions at the sides of the uninterrupted windshield are narrower now, which helps with visibility, but when the boat is in a tight turn and heeling, the skipper will still have to duck and weave to see if someone is coming from the side.

The new cabin house gained a redesigned and clever access door. Instead of sliding or hinging, two glass-and-stainless doors open via a system that is best described as an accordion gullwing. The system brings both sections of the door outboard and completely out of the way, opening up what looks like a motoryacht into what functions like an express boat.

With the doors open, two attached ottomans pivot outward and aft to form a straight settee to port and an extended L-shaped lounge to starboard and perfectly combining the inside with the outside.

Although it’s an $8,000 option, this door feature defines the dual character of the boat and is one I wouldn’t skimp on.

Another option is the electric lounge aft.

Built into the transom, two fully electric seats are like forward-facing Barcaloungers that will be the place everyone fights over.

• A cross between an express boat and a motoryacht, the GT 46 is

“from-the-hull-up” new, and though it replaces the existing GT 44, its transformation has been so complete there’s really little comparison.

And adding to the party atmosphere, there are 15 cupholders between the helm, salon and cockpit — one for every person who can find a seat aboard.

Unlike the GT 44, which had a serpentine path between the helm and the swim platform, the new GT 46 makes the transition a more direct journey, and that’s because the outdoor galley was moved aft. Beneteau borrowed a concept from its Monte Carlo line and incorporated a full galley module into the transom. The chef stands on the oversized hydraulic swim platform and works at the Kenyon electric grill and sink, keeping the heat and smoke of dinner out of the boat. (There is an option to replace the electric lounge chairs and the galley module with a large aft sunpad.)

Below the galley module is a good-sized stowage locker for fenders, lines or water toys. Of course that means the dinghy garage disappeared, but that’s not really a loss. When it’s not being used as a teak beach, the four-foot-wide platform carries the tender. Because it descends below the waterline, it’s easier to load the tender onto the integrated chocks than it ever was to wrestle it into that garage. The platform is another $30,000 add-on, but again, it defines the new functionality of the boat, so it’s really a no-brainer option.

Forward, Beneteau enlarged the bow sunpad and added two backrests, which are raised manually. There is also plenty of room on the forward deck for anchoring work that’s managed by a Lewmar windlass with a tethered Quick remote.

A stainless steel rail runs from the bow to the cockpit, but starting at about the cabin house, it gets rather low. For safe transit aft, you’ll do better reaching for the handhold that is subtly integrated into the rooftop and runs all the way to the cockpit.

The door between the cockpit and the salon opens wide to give the entire main deck an outdoor feel, especially with the side windows and sunroof open. Below, the galley is functional, and the bed in the VIP can be one berth or two.

The helm seat is offset to starboard, and that’s where those narrower mullions really help the driver see better. Amidships is a double companion seat, which will work well for two child-sized behinds or a largish adult one. Both seats have flip-up bolsters, so the captain can drive standing up. On our test boat, the Ultraleather upholstery was a two-tone espresso/mocha that complemented the cream upholstery of the aft settees.

A single 16-inch Simrad NSS multifunction display was front and center above the leather-accented wheel. A digital display for the Volvo Penta diesels, the bow thruster control and four arrays of rocker switches were on the main dash, with the engine throttles and joystick atop the console outboard to the right. In its entirety, the dash is massive, covered in part with a textured surface and also with two tones of brown paint that cut the glare below the large expanse of windshield.

I entered the boat via a portside curved companionway and descended into the galley and salon area. Here’s where the boat retained much of its similarity to the GT 44. The indoor (and main) galley is still to port and has a large standup refrigerator and freezer tucked behind an Alpi-wood door with a slightly different walnut-colored finish. (An optional Isotherm refrigerator for drinks is up in the cockpit built into the portside hull.)

The microwave hides in an overhead cabinet on the centerline and is a bit too far overhead for safety, in my opinion. A two-burner Kenyon ceramic cooktop, twin sinks and a number of stowage lockers

complete the interior galley. A half-height partition between the galley and the U-shaped salon settee to starboard is wired for a flat-screen TV. Because the new hull is almost a foot wider, there is a bit more space in the open floor plan. Our test boat had the two-cabin, two-head layout, but a third cabin with over/under bunks is an option. That will make the interior feel a bit cramped, but when, if ever, would people sit at the open lower settee given all that great indoor/ outdoor seating above.

The VIP cabin is forward. The overhead hatch seems a bit small for a stateroom of this size, but two round opening portlights in the hull sides bring in added light and air. The centerline queen bed splits into two by picking up and swinging the ends outboard at the foot. The forward head is also the day head for guests, and it has a nice-sized separate shower stall.

The master is aft and includes lots of headroom at the foot of the bed. So much, in fact, that the overhead hatch that looks up at the underside of the windshield is fixed because nobody could reach it anyway. To starboard is quite a lot of stowage space inside long inline outboard lockers; a small lounge takes up the port

38 SEAMAGAZINE.COM MAY 2017

side. Like most full-beam master suites, this cabin gets its light and air from fixed hull-side windows and small inset opening ports. In hot climates, owners might need to run the air conditioning at night, since there is no overhead hatch.

TEST DAY The GT 46 has IPS pod drives and joystick control. In Europe, buyers can get the boat with 370 hp Volvo Penta D6 engines with sterndrives. However, U.S. boaters prefer pods on boats larger than 40 feet, so in the States at least, the GT 46 is powered by twin 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS600 diesels with IPS drives. The effect is a smoother shift, especially when using the joystick at the dock. Access to the engine room is below the cockpit sole, and there’s decent access forward to the 7.5 kw Onan genset and aft to the pods. In the revamp, the GT 46 gained almost 1,000 pounds, which is not that much considering that it’s wider and carries a massive swim platform.

The GT 46 is a fun boat to run, because it’s spry. Four holeshots consistently showed the GT 46 coming up on plane in nine seconds at around 16 knots of boat speed. With minimal bowrise, the horizon was visible throughout the acceleration curve. At the top, we came just shy of 33 knots (44.8 gph), but a nice cruising speed was at 2800 to 3000 rpm and 21 to 24 knots (25.6 to 28 gph). Once the boat was on plane, the engines consistently delivered 0.8 nautical miles per gallon.

No matter how aggressive I tried to get, the boat took gradual, even turns. And although there were a few hard bounces when we crossed our own wake, overall it resulted in little drama. (Our test was on the flat water of San Diego Bay, but running into a three-foot chop, the boat may experience some pounding.)

Slow maneuvering with only the engines was adequate, although they seem to be too close together to really produce a good response in turns. On the other hand,

joystick maneuvering was pure bliss. Clean side slides were accomplished by pushing the stick left or right and then adding a slight twist to engage the bow thruster.

That way, the push of the powerful engines doesn’t overpower the movement of the bow. The GT 46 is the kind of boat that inspires confidence when docking, and I wouldn’t mind doing it all day for practice, even with an audience. Beneteau broker Scott Young of South Coast Yachts made child’s play of squeezing into a ridiculously tight spot.

HOW DOES IT COMPARE? The base price for the GT 46 is $610,000.

Delivered to the West Coast, commissioned and fully loaded with most options, down to underwater lights, our test boat came in at $832,000, which is about $200,000 more than its well-equipped predecessor — not an insignificant increase but then again, it was not an insignificant metamorphosis.

GALEON 420 FLY

THE POLISH BUILDER PREMIERES A SOLID BOAT WITH A FEW NEAT TRICKS UP ITS SLEEVE.

I

NEVER KNOW WHAT I’ll find at the end of the dock on test day, but I like boats with

happy surprises. Boats that reveal the unexpected — convertible seating options, good use of space and details that hint at custom craftsmanship — make my day. The Galeon 420 Fly, with unique details and a comprehensive list of included equipment, is such a boat and did, indeed, bring a bit of joy to my day.

ON DECK

FLYBRIDGE FEATURES

I stepped aboard via the (optional) teak-topped hydraulic swim platform and got my first surprise. The transom seat is mobile. It can slide aft about a foot over the swim platform, to open up the cockpit for easier entertaining, or forward, to get under the protection of the flybridge hardtop. When it’s forward, there’s adequate room on the platform to carry a dinghy or a PWC. The door between the cockpit and salon is interesting. The aluminum-and-glass barrier has three panels. The portside section hinges open like a normal door, and the other two panels slide to port and accordion out. With all three panels open, the aft end of the boat has only a threshold between the outdoors and the indoors.

Additionally, the aft-most section of the salon settee, which is normally up against the door, has a backrest that flips. Guests can sit facing forward, but flip the backrest forward and folks sit facing aft, effectively making the bench a part of the cockpit seating. But there’s more. Lift the bench and swivel it outboard and it forms a long seat that joins with the transom settee.

This fun little feature is clever, makes the boat versatile and absolutely will impress dock neighbors.

In the port corner of the cockpit is a curved, molded staircase to the flybridge.

The steps are a bit tight, and coming down requires a free hand to negotiate them safely. Up top is a composite arch with a stainless steel radar mast that folds down.

An L-shaped settee wraps around a small table and the chef will have everything at hand thanks to an optional galley module that includes a wet bar, a refrigerator and an electric grill.

The starboard-situated helm has a double seat, and a double companion bench is adjacent. A small pad is forward, just behind the wind deflector, and a few pillows will make it either an oversized seat for adults or a sunpad for kids.

Visibility and communication with anyone on the foredeck is good, though I noticed the railing on the bow pulpit was quite low and the pulpit leans forward at a dramatic angle. That’s good and bad.

The angle elongates the boat’s profile, but leaning out at this awkward angle to reach down and catch a mooring wand won’t be easy. I tried it and it wasn’t comfortable.

seating — the salon is on the same level.

One interior finishing option, which our test boat had, is matte black walnut wood with tan and mocha upholstery, which is used to nice effect. To port is a small double settee that faces the U-shaped lounge across from it. The AC/DC system panel fills the port aft corner. It’s a compact salon but performs its function well.

Stacked side windows and plenty of LED lighting give the interior a glow. Beautiful wood accents and intricate inlays such as the one on the coffee table are a nice touch.

Unexpected details like these add elegance and a hint of old-world craftsmanship seldom seen on production boats.

The galley and helm station are one step up from the salon. Just as on the flybridge, the lower helm is to starboard, so there will be no switching sides to improve visibility when coming port-to at the dock. The inside helm is set up in three levels with rocker switches low and to the left of the wheel, the autopilot and the 7-inch Volvo vessel control display in the middle, and a 12-inch Raymarine MFD up top just below eye level. If laid out more efficiently, the top part of the dash could accommodate twin displays — not strictly necessary but two screens of information are handier. The engine controls are outboard to the right, as is the trim tab panel that’s just below the driver’s window, which opens with the assistance of an electric Mercedes Benz motor. Cupholders and USB ports to charge personal electronics are standard here.

The helm seat is an ample double bench with flip-up bolsters on both sides, so the driver can stand while the companion sits.

The view forward is through an enormous and beautiful single-pane windshield of tinted tempered glass.

The galley is only one step to port and

Thanks to a clever door arrangement, the main deck of the boat — including the helm and the galley, which are up one step from the salon — blends indoors and outdoors effortlessly. Below, the master stateroom occupies the forepeak.

on the same level as the helm. It’s compact and has limited countertop and stowage space, but every tool is there for the chef to turn out serious meals. A glass two-burner cooktop is positioned at the center above a microwave oven. Twin sinks are to the left, and outboard at counter height is a small locker fronted by a sliding frosted plexiglass door. A Waeco refrigerator is below the Corian counter and next to a column of four drawers that have a pseudo soft-close feature but need to be pushed to lock at the end.

Galeon Yachts is a highly vertically integrated company that manufactures many necessary component parts in-house, including stainless steel hinges, custom furniture and some fixtures. This way, the builder not only controls quality but its supply chain is shorter and the pricing is probably better.

LOWER LEVEL ACCOMMODATIONS Curved stairs lead down from the galley

to the accommodations level where there are three cabins and two heads. The master is in the forepeak, its large bed surrounded by shelves that are fixed to the hull.

Stowage options are ample in cabinets all around the perimeter, drawers under the berth and a hanging locker to starboard.

The portside en suite head includes a large vessel sink and a shower stall. The bright cabin benefits from elongated hull windows with inset opening ports, an overhead hatch and an impressive skylight.

Two double cabins, one fairly tight, and a day head share the rest of this level. In the small foyer between the cabins there’s excellent headroom, and it’s quite bright and inviting thanks to light that pours through the windshield above.

dream, so it was up to me to create a disturbance and see how the boat handles in the chop. The hull has a V shape at the bow and 16 degrees of deadrise at the transom. It carries the beam well forward to create interior volume for the forward stateroom and gets broad just a few feet back from the stem.

Despite my best efforts, the boat stayed steady and sliced nicely through turns.

Only once did we come down hard off our own wake, but the 33,000-pound, handlaid hull, which is solid below the waterline, just shook it off.

I found two things difficult. First, the SeaStar hydraulic steering required nine turns of the wheel to get from lock to lock.

The boat turned sharply but took quite a bit of steering to get there. Also, as we did these aggressive maneuvers, the horizon disappeared and only water was visible through the side windows, requiring a bit of ducking and weaving to check for traffic.

The thick side mullions that support the

lovely windshield didn’t help.

For the U.S. market, standard propulsion is twin Volvo Penta D6 435 hp diesels and straight shafts. The engines are accessed via a cockpit hatch. It was a tight squeeze as I crawled forward and I wouldn’t want to take on any serious engine work, though the service points are handy enough.

I found the 420 Fly to be spry as we came up on plane at 15 knots in just nine seconds. The engines delivered a comfortable cruising speed around 20 knots at 2800 rpm, and we topped out at 28 knots at 3150 rpm. With such numbers, Catalina Island is just over four hours away even from San Diego. With 291 gallons of fuel, the boat can make that trip and have plenty of fuel to spare.

OPTIONS & PACKAGES Unlike many brands that parse out their equipment at eye-crossing prices, Galeon’s list of standard features is fairly bleed comprehensive,0.125” including a Fischer

Panda 12 kw genset, air conditioning, a Quick vertical windlass, foam mattresses, a bow searchlight and a nice choice of interior fabrics.

Options come in two packages. The Comfort Pack includes electronics, a bow thruster, Glendinning’s Cablemaster for the shore-power cord, flybridge canvas, a 32-inch popup TV in the salon and a few other items. The Luxury Pack adds the foredeck sunpad, a drawer refrigerator on the flybridge, a 24-inch TV in the owner’s stateroom and striped wood flooring in the salon. If buyers want to dazzle guests with a high-gloss interior finish, that will be extra but the standard matte look adds subtlety and would be my choice.

What speaks to the American market about Galeon yachts is their solid construction, upscale handcrafted wood details and clever use of space. With its comprehensive standard equipment list and contemporary styling, the 420 Fly is a bundle of nice surprises just waiting at the dock.

For many boaters, one of the first events they put on their cruising calendar is a rendezvous event. Yes, they plan to visit favorite marinas, anchorages, gunkholes and fishing spots, but there is something about rendezvous that appeal to the social animal in humans. So whether it’s a brand-specific rendezvous or a more broad event that covers several brands or a specific type of boat, boat owners are going to attend.

Up and down the West Coast, rendezvous fill up summer weekends with fun, education, fun and the sharing of knowledge, as like-minded folks get together. Educational seminars and informal classes — engine repair, trip planning, cleaning and maintenance, and navigation — are part of many rondy events, and they are definitely beneficial.

From May through October, the West Coast is replete with rendezvous. Check out our list below to find the right one for you.

Just when moms everywhere are limiting their kids’ “screen time” and salty wisdom tells us to keep our eyes outside of the boat for safety, what’s happening on the dash inside the multifunction display (MFD) is just too cool to resist.

He who owns the glass owns the boat. That’s

why innovation is centering on the MFD, the focal point of all that happens aboard a modern vessel. Electronics manufacturers have been upping the ante, each racing to make better, faster, prettier and overall more compelling displays. As chairperson of the NMMA

Innovation Awards at the Miami International Boat Show, I get a firsthand look at what’s hot in electronics — and this year it was all about clear screens, comprehensive feature packs and a

It’s hard to imagine that cathode ray tube (CRT) technology was all the rage just two decades ago.

Seeing is Believing It’s hard to imagine that cathode ray tube (CRT) technology was all the rage just two decades ago. Sketchy black-and-white screens and radar displays with hoods were the norm. Now, boat owners would no more have one of those on their boat than they would have a TV with rabbit ears in their house. High-definition touchscreens as thin as an LED TV have become the windows to all that happens inside and outside the boat, and the optics are phenomenal.

Navico, the manufacturer of the Simrad, Lowrance and B&G brands, has introduced SolarMAX HD glass on its backlit, multitouch displays, such as the NSS 9 evo3.

Maximizing visual clarity, the high-definition SolarMAX displays have wider viewing angles, so boat operators can see them even when they’re not front and center. The glossy in-plane switching (IPS) screens have a balance of bright LED backlighting and advanced antireflective coatings that creates superior color separation and accuracy. The display can be viewed in bright sunlight or in low-light environments, even if the viewer is wearing polarized sunglasses (although he may have to tilt his head for a good view).

The screens have a wider operating temperature range, which delivers greater reliability in warmer climates, and Navico added moisture-proof optical layers, so the screens work when they’re wet or covered with sea spray.

“The true color representation and the improved viewing angles provide real user benefits and advancements over our previous displays,” said Stephen Thomas, Simrad’s product line director.

Not to be outdone, Raymarine launched its new Axiom displays with flush-mounted matte-finish glass that I could see perfectly while standing at almost 90 degrees to one.

These all-glass, optically bonded touchscreens deliver exceptional colors and sharp contrast.

“When we optically bond the display, we are completely filling up the cavity between the LCD panel and the MFD’s front glass with optical-grade epoxy,” said Jim McGowan, marketing manager at Raymarine. “We eliminate the possibility of moisture or fogging, and the epoxy also provides a straighter, cleaner path for the transmission of light. The matte finish is the anti-glare layer that we add because sunlight is one of those critical pieces of the puzzle that we take very seriously.”

Users can dial down the Axiom screens’ sensitivity, so they aren’t affected by the impact of raindrops but only by the touch of a human hand. The swipe-to-power design has no buttons. An angler or anyone on a fast and bouncy boat who wants control when the water gets rough and touchscreens get hard to use will need to purchase an optional keypad for pushbutton control.

Just a few years ago, Garmin led the pack with full pinch-to-zoom, drag-anddrop and swipe-enabled touchscreens, and the manufacturer continues to bring intuitive functionality to all sizes of its GPSMAP line. The large high-definition 8600 series screens are also IPS and sunlight readable and come in 17, 22 and 24 inches. They create an impressive glass helm look on larger yachts.

Today’s screens respond even to sweaty, salty or sunscreen-covered fingers, and they support multiple panel layouts (two, three or four views at a time) that can be configured in a few seconds with drag-anddrop commands. The clarity and detail of the cartography, whether it’s C-MAP, Navionics, BlueChart, Insight Genesis or LakeVu, are exceptional and make the color screens of just five years ago look like toys.

Also, the redraw is lightning fast, refreshing position 10 times per second, so the boat’s progress on an electronic chart is fluid and not herky-jerky. Finally, today’s MFDs have more svelte profiles, so they can be mounted in skinnier spaces and adorn almost any dash.

Comprehensive Capabilities If the engines are the boat’s brawn, the MFD is the brain. Just about every kind of functionality may be terminated at, and controlled by, the MFD, and more is now packed into standalone models than ever. Owners can add sensors, transducers, cameras and even enhanced radar features via unlockable software keys. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are built into most units. Each brand offers an eye-crossing menu of options, which would be impossible to parse, but here’s just a sample of this year’s Innovation Award entrants and the kind of punch even small units now pack.

Simrad’s NSS 9 evo3 blazes through detailed charts and includes an integrated echo sounder that features dual-channel CHIRP with independent control, ForwardScan sonar, StructureScan HD and 3D imaging capabilities. That means users get wide-angle and deep-view images, so the fish don’t stand a chance, and drivers can look ahead of the vessel for collision avoidance.

Add Simrad’s Halo or Broadband 4G radar and autopilot control as well as a host of accessories including stereo functionality, satellite weather information and feeds from multiple cameras.

The unit comes with integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi — download charts and software updates while cruising aboard the boat — and a phone or tablet may be integrated as a repeater with basic functionality. Because this MFD has both full touchscreen capability and Simrad’s WheelKey, users can switch between multitouch and full keypad control for the best of both worlds without add-ons.

Raymarine’s Axiom 9 comes in two versions: as a basic chartplotter or enabled with the manufacturer’s RealVision 3D sonar. Buyers can combine CHIRP DownVision and SideVision into a single transducer housing, and the gyro-stabilized sonar compensates for boat movement, delivering more accurate images. Powered by the LightHouse 3 operating system and a quad core processor, the system is scary-fast and moves through the Navionics+ charts like greased lightning. Raymarine’s other accessories that can be controlled by the MFD include its Quantum radar, stereo, wind/speed/depth instruments, engine room and remote cameras, and its Evolution autopilot.

A neat feature is ClearCruise, object-recognition technology found in the new FLIR thermal cameras that can interface with the Axiom line. The system actively scans the surrounding scene and looks for non-water objects such as other boats, navigation aids, exposed rocks, floating debris and lobster pots. Such objects are highlighted on the display with a yellow frame, and if a target is identified, an alert calls the driver’s attention to it even if he wasn’t looking at the screen at the time.

This year, Garmin entered its entry-level GPSMAP 942xs, which comes preloaded with premium mapping (BlueChart g2 HD for coastal charts and LakeVu for inland waters). CHIRP technology is built in and the transducer is sold separately. NMEA 0183 and 2000 connectivity interfaces with autopilots, digital switching panels, weather, FUSION-Link stereo, VHF radio, AIS and other sensors. Again, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity is built in, and much like with Simrad’s products, users can draw (and keep) their own charts. Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of global consumer sales, said, “We’ve packed this plotter with industry-leading features, built-in conveniences and the nine-inch touchscreen is new to the GPSMAP lineup.”

Simrad NSS9 evo3

A word on pricing: It’s difficult to compare prices accurately because different brands combine different functionality and certain sensors, antennas and transducers may sold separately. Also, just because units from different brands are the same size doesn’t mean they are equivalent in their sophistication. It’s important to know what one is comparing before making a choice based on price. In the same-sized but somewhat disparate examples I’ve used so far, Raymarine’s Axiom 9-inch RV is around $1,650, Garmin’s GPSMAP 942xs is $1,300 and Simrad’s comprehensively outfitted NSS 9 evo3 is around $2,300.

Don’t take the prices at face value, however, because these units are targeted at different audiences. Instead, buyers should consider their application and research carefully what they really need and want to pay for.

THE 9-INCH REVOLUTION Besides advanced glass and bundled features, the focus of this year’s entries was on the 9-inch MFD. As you may have noticed from the examples above, this seems to be the sweet spot for a variety of reasons.

First, this size is large enough for older eyes to see easily and bigger hands to interact with effectively. These touchscreens react to a variety of swipes, pinches and pokes — commands that can be tough to do on smaller screens.

Second, although there are more compact entry-level displays (four, five and seven inches) a 9-inch screen can still fit on a smaller dashboard or even in a bracket on an aluminum fishing boat with plenty of room to spare. If multiple screens are desired side-by-side, two 9-inch models offer a flexible solution that will fit.

Finally, a 9-inch MFD makes a great second station backup on the flybridge, for reference in the master stateroom, or even at a remote aft steering station. Maybe this is why new boat and aftermarket applications will both benefit from this size segment, making 2017 the year of the 9-incher.

SET NO LIMITS Navigation, communication, onboard monitoring, entertainment and fishing come together in today’s superstar MFDs, which have never been easier to use or, frankly, more compelling to view. I for one will try keeping one eye outside the boat and the other squarely on the hot new displays. Screen time limits be damned, mom.

FINANCING. It’s one of those topics that’s not as tangible as engines and new electronics or as day-to-day applicable as safety and survival, but it is a topic important to a large number of boaters (and Sea readers). To give our readers as much insight as possible into a matter of significance, we tracked down an industry veteran and asked him a bunch of questions, which he was kind enough to answer.

GETTIN’ BETTER

BILL OTTO

is the cofounder of the National Marine Lenders Association, an organization that got started in 1979 and has represented marine lenders’ — and borrowers’ — interests since. He’s now the director emeritus and treasurer of NMLA (nmla.org). Prior to that he was the head of the boat lending division of one of the bigger banks in Michigan. Now, he owns Lake Effect Financial Services, a Grandville, Mich.-based company he founded in 2008, and is the Great Lakes agent for Just Boat Loans (justboatloans.com) in Annapolis, Md. All told, he’s been in the marine lending space since 1969.

He might know a thing or two.

Read on to find out more.

Sea: What is the lending climate like right now? Better than five or six

years ago? The same?

Bill Otto: There’s no question it’s better. Five years ago (2012), it was just at

the point that we were starting to come out of the abyss that started, in reality, in 2007 but really got noticed in 2008. It’s been steadily getting better since, especially on the retail side. There are more lenders, and interest rates have been pretty level. We’ve had, as an industry, the best kind of growth, which is slow and steady. The industry got rid of the low-hanging fruit in distressed inventory (repos) from those 2008–’11 days, and as a result used-boat values are less depressed. It’s really all pretty good. Again, it’s happened the way you want to see it grow, slow and steady. Of course, it’s never right for everybody, and there are those who wish it was better instantly, but we’ve learned through the years that instant gratification doesn’t last long. I think it’s all positive. Could it be better? You bet, but it could be a lot worse.

What factors are contributing to the improved state of lending?

History has taught us that knowing what you’ve got is a comfortable place to be.

There are more lenders in the market, our applicants are stronger now than they were during the downturn and it’s a better market. The economy is moving forward and people feel better about themselves, and when people feel better about themselves, then things that are classified in some cases as toys [come back into the picture]. When you’re just trying to keep the wolf away from the door, you don’t think about those toys so much.

What are you seeing with interest rates?

Interest rates are stable, there’s no question about that. Having said that, the fed is supposed to raise it a quarter of a point this afternoon, but in light of the fact that we haven’t had an increase this year, I don’t see 56

it as a big deal at all. There’s no question that other increases are coming, but it’s not bad. Interest rates in boat lending haven’t dictated in the last 10 years whether anyone bought a boat or not, and I don’t think the increases we’re going to see in 2017 are going to bother anything. They might even get some people off the fence. If you’re considering purchasing a boat, you’re probably getting the urge now with winter ending, and if you’re thinking rates in July or August are going to be a quarter or half a point higher than today, maybe you’ll make the move today if you’re going to finance it.

Why pay any more in 90 days?

Is there a range you’ve seen in the last 12 months? What’s the best rate? The average rate?

There’s a lot that goes into that. If you’re talking about fixed rates for up to 20 years, it’s been in the fours — once in a while 3.99 or 3.75. If you are super qualified — have one-third or more down, your credit score is 830, can handle a shorter term and you’re liquid — sometimes you can do better than the general population, but not a lot. There are other deals where with pricing on LIBOR with rate locks in increments of 30 days you can get down lower.

However, fixed rates are so close to variable rates, why take the chance? Even if it’s going to save you 1½ percent, do you want to take the risk when you could be paying 2 percent higher in a year? When variable rates move, they can move fast. History has taught us that knowing what you’ve got is a comfortable place to be.

What’s the typical down-payment requirement today?

What are the loan requirements of a borrower in the $1 million to $3 million range?

On a loan under $100,000, you’re probably looking at between 10 and 15 percent down. That assumes the boat is worth the purchase price. Over $100K is in the 15 to 20 percent range. Required down payments are also driven to a large extent by perceived boat valuation. New boats and used boats are usually evaluated differently. Another consideration is a vessel the customer now owns that is being “traded in” and brings with it its own set of plusses and minuses from an equity point of view. When it’s all said and done, the lender will advance a percentage of what they deem the boat to be worth, not always what is reported to be the purchase price. When you get into a purchase price of $1.5 million to $2 million or more for a boat, lenders can require substantial equity and the amount down can be as much as 30 percent. It’s all dictated by the customer and how well heeled they are. The lender would like to put out as much as they can, but they like the feeling that they’re going to get it back.

At this level, the requirements are higher than for the customer who wants to borrow $100K. It’s the same principles — Credit 101 — but ramped up to some degree. You need to have a solid credit history, employment history, personal financial statement with real equity, down payment, unquestionable ability to service the debt and a strong liquidity position after making the down payment. If you use your entire nest egg for the down payment, you’ve got nothing to fall back on. You would think that anyone looking at this size of loan would already be in tune with the concept, but occasionally I still get surprised.

The lender would like to put out as much as they can, but they like the feeling that they’re going to get it back.

What are any downsides right now, either for lenders or borrowers?

From the lender’s perspective the biggest downside for quite some time is that our biggest competitor has often become cash. Potential borrowers just can’t

see the wisdom of leaving money in bank deposits that pay them, in many cases, less than 0.5 percent. I really can’t blame them in that regard. From the borrower’s perspective, as long as they can meet the lender’s criteria, it’s all good with no real downside at all.

What are a couple of things people underestimate about the financing process?

One thing we run into are down-payment requirements. It’s amazing the number of deals we get where the buyer says, “You mean I can’t do it with nothing down?” That philosophy is still out there in some cases, but more and more people understand that equity is a necessary part of a loan. Verifiable liquidity is another part of the equation that wasn’t a part of lending so much prior to 2008.

Liquidity is the part where you look at the potential customer’s financial statement and are looking for liquid assets: cash, CDs, stocks, bonds that are accessible.

Real estate is certainly an asset but not considered liquid because of the time it can take to sell it. Some people forget that. The necessity to have a personal financial statement that is current is something people forget about. In addition, borrowers need to have real income verification in the form tax returns.

What are a couple of avoidable speed bumps in the process?

Assemble your income information and your tax returns. Alert your accountant or CPA to the lender who will be inquiring. Have copies of current statements of your liquid assets. Have a current personal financial statement. All these,

along with a fully executed Purchase Agreement, will make the process go much smoother.

What is pre-approval, and how can buyers go about getting it?

To some extent it’s a little bit of a misnomer. There are pre-approvals to a point, but what is always problematic is the lack of an identifiable boat that is being purchased. As we have already discussed, a valuation of the boat being purchased is a major part of the decision process. It’s kind of something you need. If you’ve been shopping, you probably know what that 42 flushdeck is going to cost, and you probably in your mind have said, “I will afford this much.” Most people do the math and figure out what the payment range is going to be. So on our side we can give you some information that will give you a license to

shop at least. We can clear credit and verify income, assets and employment. We can do all of that up front and say, “Look, if you’re going to borrow $200,000 for 15 or 20 years at this rate, we should have an opportunity to do business depending upon the collateral valuation of what you purchase.”

Yes, the moon and the stars are going to have to line up, but that’s as far as you can license the person. Then they have to go out and find the asset. You’re not automatically cleared for anything, and I think maybe there’s a little bit of a disconnect, but you try to do the best you can with what you have to work with.

Are there expenses apart from the cost of the boat that can be included in the loan?

That varies from lender to lender. The answer is yes, but it’s a qualified yes. Some

of the things that can be put into the loan are sales tax, extended warranties, and other back-end products such as collateral protection products. You find it more in smaller boats than big boats. The Coast Guard documentation fee can be put into the loan in many cases. Some of these things are dictated by other factors. Say you’re putting 10 percent down but have 8 percent sales tax. Well, that’s probably not going to fly, because now you have only a 2 percent equity.

Another request that comes to mind is when we’re asked about financing a condo slip and the possibility of putting it in the loan with the boat? The answer is no, for the simple reason that one of the assets will likely be sold before the other. This can be a real dilemma in what valuation is then assigned to the remaining collateral, and will it support what’s left of the loan

balance. That just puts you in a box of snakes and you don’t want to be there.

Boat lifts are another dual-collateral request we get, more prevalent in a salt environment. They’ve become more popular because people don’t want those hulls in a salt environment 24/7. I was just down in Tampa for a meeting and was out and about into a couple of different marinas, and these lifts are even more popular than I thought. They were everywhere, and when you’re lifting a 40-, 50-foot boat with cables and hydraulics, that stuff is not for the faint of heart from a price standpoint. Therefore, you have the same dilemma with lifts that you have with condo slips.

The best case for the purchasing public is to buy and finance your boat as a standalone transaction. Then if you looking to purchase a lift, a condo slip, etc., contract it on its own.

She’ll love a real kitchen.

This is the boat she’ll say Yes to.

WILDLIFE ADVENTURES AT EAGLE HARBOR FIND AN UNTOUCHED ISLAND THAT IS A HIKER’S PARADISE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

THE SUN ROSE OVER MT. Baker as the aroma of brewing coffee filled the cabin. Easy Goin’ was moored on a buoy in Eagle Harbor on the east side of Cypress Island.

Due to the lack of development, Cypress Island, on the eastern side of Rosario Strait, is one of our favorite gunkholes in the San Juans. Plus it’s only eight and a half miles from our moorage in Anacortes.

While most of the San Juan Islands have been privatized and developed, their

shorelines made forever off limits by private owners, Cypress Island has actually gone the other way.

THE ISLAND The 5,500-acre island is undeveloped,

and nearly 90 percent (4,800 acres) of it is managed by the Department of Natural Resources. It has 3,800 acres designated as a Natural Resource Conservation Area (NRCA) and a Natural Area Preserve, which gives a high priority to conservation of natural systems, wildlife and dispersed recreational values. Nearly 200 species of mammals and birds use the island.

The island was the historical home to the Coast Salish people and later European settlers. The Salish economy was based on the seasonal harvesting of resources by hunting, fishing and gathering plants. Use likely centered on seasonal camps rather than permanent settlements.

The First European record of Cypress Island comes from the Spanish expedition commanded by Juan Francisco de Eliza, in 1791. It was charted and identified as Isla de San Vicente. The island has escaped most development because of access issues, rugged terrain and poor agricultural soil.

Despite the lack of a protected anchorage and marine amenities, boaters visit all year long. Cypress has few anchorages, and none is very good. There are three moorage areas: Cypress Head, Eagle Harbor and Pelican Beach, with a total of 25 mooring buoys maintained by the Department of Natural Resources. Fifteen of the buoys reside in Eagle Harbor, which shoals in the 2:27 PM middle on low tides. It’s possible to anchor

in the entrance of the harbor but the better protection from northerly breezes and wash from passing boats is deeper in the harbor.

and then go ashore and explore a portion of the island, with the end goal being the top of the 840-foot Eagle Cliff. Our route took us past shallow lily-pad-filled Duck Lake, an 11-acre wetland. Just off the trail at the edge of the lake is an observation area with a rustic cedar table, a bench and log stools.

We took a few moments to sit in the shade

and enjoy the peacefulness and buzzing of the dragonflies and hummingbirds as they skirted the shore of the lake. As we continued our morning hike, we picked up the Eagle Cliff trailhead just upland from Pelican Beach on the northeast side of the island. The one-mile trail up to Eagle Cliff is closed from February through July 15 each year to ensure that endangered nesting Peregrine falcons are undisturbed.

Because of the abundance of wildlife, pets must be on a leash at all times.

The climb is easy except for the last few hundred yards, but the breathtaking view is worth the 45-minute hike. Although it was a bit overcast, when we reached the summit of Eagle Cliff we were rewarded with a stunning panoramic view of the San Juan Islands, Mt. Baker and the Olympic Mountains. The look down over the edge into Foss Cove is hair-raising and not for people who experience vertigo. We enjoyed the view while eating our lunch, took a few pictures and headed back down the trail.

ISLAND SWEETNESS On our way back we noticed ripe juicy blackberries along the trail. They were just too tempting to not pick a few and eat them right there. They were so tasty, I cut the top off the two empty plastic water bottles in the daypack and proceeded to fill them with berries as we worked our way down the trail. Back on Easy Goin’, Arlene baked a berry cobbler, which was a perfect reward after an invigorating day of exploration.

NON-MOTORIZED FEE

THE OREGON STATE Marine

Board is asking lawmakers to consider implementing a non-motorized boating program that includes imposing fees on boaters who use sailboats, kayaks, rafts and other non-motorized watercraft on the state’s public waterways. House Bill 2320 would establish a fee-based non-motorized boating program and a dedicated fund to provide grants to assist public agencies with the purchase, construction, renovation, expansion and development of non-motorized boating facilities. Under the proposed legislation, a one-week permit for non-motorized boating would cost $4, an annual permit would cost $12, and a two-year permit would cost $20. The marine board estimates the new fees would generate approximately $2 million over the next two years.

Lake Union in Seattle after being in the Pacific Northwest since 1942, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal. The yacht was built in 1929 by New York Yacht, Launch & Engine Co. and was conscripted by the Navy in World War II to patrol the Pacific Northwest. In more recent years it has been charted by many celebrities and has been used to host charity events.

Olympus’ owner renovated the yacht extensively over 24 years but maintenance costs made it impossible for her to keep the yacht, according to the Business Journal, and it was sold to an undisclosed New York businessman.

FIND A BERTH

QUICK ESCAPE

SEASIDE AMUSEMENT AND MORE!

SANTA CRUZ IS A SLEEPY BEACH TOWN WITH A RICH AND UNIQUE HISTORY. SANTA CRUZ EMITS A DEFINITE beach vibe. It’s a surfing hotspot, its pier is still active and attractive, it’s close to Monterey and the San Francisco area — which means beer and wine country — and it was recently awarded the top spot in California in the GallupHealthways Community Well-Being rankings. Santa Cruz really needs to be experienced with all five senses.

Boaters approaching Santa Cruz Harbor will spot a classically designed lighthouse greeting them on the breakwater. This is the Walton Lighthouse, named after local businessman Charles Walton, who contributed much of the construction costs in honor of his late brother, Derek, who was a merchant seaman.

Guest berths are available on a firstcome, first-served basis, and overnight rates range from $0.75/foot to $2/foot, with a $35 minimum. Head to the harbor office 1 , which is next to the fuel pier, to register and pay. The harbor authorities warn boaters to pay extra heed between November and May, because the entrance to the harbor is prone to shoaling and heavy surf.

Another famous lighthouse boaters might spot coming in from the northeast is Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse atop Lighthouse Point, a popular surfing spot.

Inside the lighthouse building is the world’s first surfing museum, which opened its doors in 1986. The lighthouse was built as a memorial to surfer Mark Abbot who died at the nearby Pleasure Point surf break. Inside the lighthouse visitors can learn about the history of surfing, starting with its origins in ancient Hawaii and how it evolved and traveled to Santa Cruz. Surfing is a big part of the culture in Santa Cruz.

Between the months of October and March, there’s a good chance butterflies will be in the reserve. Monarch butterflies migrate to Natural Bridges Beach 5 for the winter and huddle together in the eucalyptus — a sight to behold. Natural Bridges Beach is about three miles west of the boardwalk, so folks arriving by boat will need to find a ride if they want to see the monarchs. At Natural Bridges Beach, there are plenty of tidepools to explore, so visitors should check the tide charts before going and bring a camera and some waterproof shoes.

BEACHIN’ EATS There are a lot of great restaurants in Santa Cruz, something for most any

culinary mood. Some of the most popular restaurants near the marina include Tramonti 6 , a casual dining Italian restaurant that specializes in salads, pastas and great pizzas. For a romantic evening, Johnny’s Harborside 7 offers marina views and Asian fusion food that is artfully arranged on the plate. For something more casual, The Dolphin Restaurant 8 — on the Santa Cruz Pier since 1963 — is a great place to get seafood fast. It even has a to-go window, so a clam chowder bread bowl or a burger can be ordered and delivered in a hurry. While visiting the Santa Cruz pier, visitors should keep an eye out on the waves, because they will likely spot a playful sea otter, a whale or a sea lion romping in the bay.

MEET GREG GORGA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SANTA BARBARA MARITIME MUSEUM

GREG GORGA IS THE EXECUTIVE director of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (sbmm.org). He has been with the museum for 10 years and is dedicated to upholding the museum’s mission to preserve and celebrate the maritime legacy of the California Coast.

The museum focuses on the discovery and exploration of the Santa Barbara Channel and the area’s marine heritage.

taken days after the wreck, an interview with the last living survivor and an explanation of how things went wrong.

What will California boaters find most interesting about the museum?

Our 88-seat Munger Theater features five to six films daily, all included with admission, and we show “West of the West: Tales of the Eight Channel Islands.” Boaters will learn the human history behind these islands, see amazing footage and maybe decide to visit the islands themselves.

What is your favorite piece or facet of the museum?

I like that the SB Maritime Museum really has something for everyone. Our interactive Children’s Gallery is great for ages two through seven, older youth will enjoy the video about Juanna Maria, from “Island of the Blue Dolphins,” and adults will enjoy other films and the vast array of subjects covered. It always amazes me that so much history occurred in this little town, and our maritime heritage goes back thousands of years with the Chumash.

Greg Gorga has been with the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum for 10 years.

Sea: Please tell me a bit about the history of the museum.

Greg: The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum opened its doors in July 2000.

From the beginning, the vision was for it to be the most hands-on, interactive maritime museum on the West Coast, and it takes a wide view of maritime history. So we cover everything from the early Chumash mariners to Spanish Explorers and shipwrecks to surfing, commercial fishing and diving to the 1969 oil spill.

What is the most popular exhibit?

We are home to the First Order Fresnel

lens from Point Conception Lighthouse, what I consider to be the most important maritime artifact along the Santa Barbara Channel. Standing 18 feet tall, it has 624 individual pieces of glass and is a thing of beauty. Our most popular interactive exhibit is Sportfishing, where visitors hold a rod and reel and feel it snap in their hand when a fish bites. Then they have to reel it in.

Is there one that is overlooked?

Most overlooked would be the Honda Disaster. In 1923 seven U.S. Navy destroyers crashed on the rocks above Point Arguello, killing 23 sailors. It is considered the largest Naval disaster during peacetime in U.S. history. Our exhibit features an amazing 14-minute video that includes aerial footage

What’s new at SBMM? In April we opened “The Geology of Oil in Our Santa Barbara Channel” and “Chumash Use of Asphaltum.” Both exhibits will include interactive components and show the important role oil has played in Santa Barbara’s development, going back to the Chumash. We change out our art exhibits every four to six months, and currently we are showing beautiful black and white photography by Ernie Brooks II, considered to be the Ansel Adams of underwater photography.

What’s the oldest artifact that is on display?

We have a whale skull that is believed to be 15 million years old — it boggles the mind! But I also appreciate that the Fresnel Lens is 163 years old and still sparkles like a diamond.

What educational programs are offered at SBMM? We have two signature programs.

We bring Spirit of Dana Point tall ship

up from the Ocean Institute and put local fourth-graders, who are studying California history, aboard for the night.

They read an abridged version of Richard Henry Dana’s book “Two Years Before the Mast” and spend 18 hours aboard ship, living the life of an 1830s sailor. We also host a Marine Science Program for fourth- through eighth-graders, where youth actually go out on the water aboard the fishing boat Stardust. They collect local marine life in an otter trap, study seals, sea lions and dolphins in their natural habitat, and look at zooplankton under a microscope. We also host school group tours, go out to Science Fairs to teach charting and navigation, and now host quarterly Family Nights, featuring maritime related hands-on activities for youth ages five to 10.

Please tell us more about the programs you offer aboard Stardust and the tall ship Spirit of Dana Point.

For both of these programs we work directly with Santa Barbara County schools, and for the Marine Science Program we have after-school groups participate. Through the generosity of our donors and local foundations, we generally offer these programs free of charge to Title I (low-income) schools and groups.

Teachers love these programs, and some base their whole year around the Overnight Program. They say it teaches their students to work together, to speak and listen better, and to participate in the class more; plus, it improves their self-esteem. Studies show that hands-on, interactive programs such as these are especially beneficial for students with language and learning challenges. Our hope is that these programs help students put themselves into any history book they read into the future, and instills in them an appreciation and love for our oceans, and especially for our local Santa Barbara Channel.

THERE IS A VERY SPECIAL public library with an entire wing dedicated to boaters, in the heart of Marina del Rey. It is situated adjacent to Admiralty Way and overlooks Basin F of the marina.

Curl up with a favorite book behind the “sail window” in the Nautical Wing of the library, which overlooks the marina.

THE LIBRARY WAS originally built in 1976 and the nautical wing was added in 1999.

THERE IS AN extensive collection of how-to boating VHS tapes and DVDs.

IT IS CLOSED on Sunday.

THE LIBRARY HAS subscriptions to 33 boating periodicals (including Sea!)

collection and the maritime collection of 5,135 circulating and reference books.

BLOOD-SUCKING VISITORS

BUGS IN THE PNW CAN BE VORACIOUS, SO DON’T BECOME THEIR NEXT VICTIM.

BY DEANE HISLOP

FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE I have found myself the primary target of every insect within stinging and biting range. I have made it a point to investigate why insects bite — and more specifically, why they bite me, sometimes to the exclusion of other perfectly good warm-blooded creatures in my immediate vicinity — and how I can avoid their advances.

Mosquitoes, bees, deerflies, horseflies and no-see-ums are especially bothersome to boaters who cruise the British Columbia coast — north of Desolation Sound is really when they get active — and Southeast Alaska. They will test your patience and potentially even ruin a cruise.

Mosquitoes — nearly 250 species of which are found in North America alone — are considered public enemy number one by most boaters. I consider the bite of the horse- and deerflies far more painful, but

when they bite, all of them pump saliva into the victim’s skin. Their saliva contains an allergen, which causes the bumpiness and itchiness.

Research I’ve seen has shown it’s only

EDITOR’S NOTE: We know a lot of California boaters venture north for the summer and enjoy the cruising grounds of the Pacific Northwest, so this story is of particular interest to that group of cruisers, especially those going north of Desolation Sound.

Sometimes, swinging on the hook in an idyllic anchorage can be ruined by the presence of biting bugs.

the females of these species that do the biting and blood gathering, to nourish the eggs they’re carrying, and they prefer their human hosts to be male. These little vampires are out for blood and can consume up to three times their weight.

GET AWAY! When they get attacked by biting insects, most boaters simply reach for one of more than 250 commercially available insect repellents — sprays, creams, lotions or waxy sticks in scented or unscented formulas. More often than not they are fueled with DEET, (diethyltoluamide) in

In addition to insect repellents that rely on chemicals, there are physical barriers boaters can buy to keep between them and biting bugs. From simple mosquito netting to bug-proof suits, there’s a host of apparel and accessories now available for thwarting insects’ efforts.

WHAT’S GOOD ABOUT BITING BUGS? It’s tough to come up with anything nice to say about these prolific breeders with insatiable appetites; in fact, the only thing they have going for them is that they’re a

Some boaters use mosquito coils and citronella candles as a defense against the bugs, but they emit an odor that not everyone finds desirable.

DEALER INQUIRY INVITED

For such small organisms, these persistent feeders are equipped with complex systems to locate their next meal.

Entomologists have learned that the most powerful attractant humans have to mosquitoes is the carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit through our skin and when we breathe. In fact, it’s the CO2 given off by all warm-blooded creatures that alerts skeeters and others to our presence. The insects can detect our scent from as far as 75 feet, ringing the dinner bell for the females and their young. There is no escaping them.

They discern the presence of octanol, a chemical released in human sweat. Heat sensors around their mouth can detect the warmth of your body and help them locate the best capillaries for tapping.

For whatever reason, some humans give off a scent that is more attractive to biting bugs than that emitted by our peers, and men are usually more attractive to mosquitoes than women. That’s why some of us may be bugged while our boat-mates go unbothered. I’ve read reports that show scented toiletries such as shampoo, aftershave, perfume, deodorant and hair spray, as well as the color blue, are especially attractive to mosquitoes.

NONTRADITIONAL TACTICS To thwart the advancement of mosquitoes, horse- and deerflies, some people swear by vitamin B1 or B12, which they start taking a month ahead of any boating trip planned for bug-infested areas. They take 500 mg of B1 or 1000 mg of B12 daily in tablet form, and they claim a chemical reaction takes place that creates a body odor that humans can’t detect but insects avoid. Some boaters claim that when they take such supplements and do get bitten that they don’t itch as badly or for as long as they do when not on the vitamins.

Other boaters claim that taking a zinc supplement in the same manner, ingesting

Sprays that contain DEET are found to be most effecting in deterring biting bugs.

up to 60 mg per day in tablet form, changes their body odor and makes them unattractive to insects.

Before taking a vitamin B or zinc supplement, check with your doctor. Such supplements could cause unwanted sideeffects when combined with some prescribed medications. Some boaters use mosquito coils and citronella candles as a defense against the bugs, but they emit an odor that not everyone finds desirable.

Other bug-repelling remedies include hanging out in the boat, stuffing Bounce fabric-softener sheet in ones pockets, applying Vicks Vapor-Rub to exposed body parts or placing some lemongrass oil in the boat.

THE BOTTOM LINE For a long time, Consumer Reports conducted in-depth tests of insect

repellents every few years, and the most recent results of its work showed that repellents containing DEET, at various concentrations, continue to be the most effective at repelling bugs.

NEW APPROACH So what’s a boater to do? A couple of years ago we decided to try a product that has become popular with anglers and hunters across the country: Thermacell.

After using the Thermacell for a couple of years, we have found it be the most effective way to fend off the attackers. We have seen deer- and horseflies that happen into the cabin exit as quickly as they entered, and the mosquitoes and no-see-ums are nonexistent.

Extensive testing in the U.S. and foreign countries such as Costa Rica, Korea and Turkey has been conducted on the

butane-powered Thermacell Mosquito Repellent unit for effectiveness for biting insects. Results reflect that the unit is effective against mosquitoes, sand flies, no-see-ums and black flies.

Thermacell products heat up allethrin, a nontoxic repellent synthetic form of a chemical that occurs naturally in chrysanthemum flowers. It won’t harm humans or pets and is advertised to be up to 96 percent effective in repelling biting creatures, and our result verifies the publicized percentage.

TREATING BITES AND STINGS If you spend time on the British Columbia coast or in southeast Alaska, it’s inevitable that insect bites and bee stings are going to happen. Bites and stings are annoying and the itching, throbbing and swelling that follows is maddening. So what do we do when we are bitten or stung? There are many products on the market today to address symptoms and we have found products such as StingEze Insect Bite Relief and Tecnu Bite and Sting to be effective. When applied soon after an insect bite — the sooner, the better — they begin working immediately to counteract the effects of bites and stings from bees, mosquitoes and flies. They provide pain relief, kill germs, reduce infection, and inhibit the growth of bacteria.

You may not be able to avoid these blood sucking insects, but you can minimize the encounters.

W H AT’S NEW

NEW SHOREBOAT SERVICE IN AVALON

AVALON’S CITY COUNCIL awarded

Catalina Coastal Tours and Fishing a contract to offer shoreboat services, according to The Log. This is the second time an RFP for shoreboat service was issued by the council, which sweetened the pot with a $250,000 subsidy. Catalina Coastal Tours and Fishing will use two custom-built, U.S. Coast Guard–certified WingCat boats that can carry 19 to 21 passengers, and the boats are expected to be ready in time for the summer season.

This is the first time the city of Avalon is subsidizing the shoreboat service in the harbor.

DREDGING MOVES FORWARD

PHASE 1 OF the Grand Canal dredging

project, which included the South Bay Front and Park Avenue areas around Balboa Island and began Dec. 5, 2016, was completed in February. Dredging is needed for this channel as it is difficult for boaters to navigate in low tides, and because the seawalls were starting to erode at the base, sand was added to support them. The total cost of the first dredging phase was $379,545, and all of the sediment that was dredged was deemed appropriate for ocean disposal.

BALBOA MARINE WEST

PLANS TO EXPAND and update a

marina in Newport Beach were unanimously approved by the California Coastal Commission during the state agency’s February meetings. A proposal to bring 26 additional boat slips, public dock space — something sorely missing in this portion of the bay — and a one-story restaurant to Balboa Marina West in Newport Harbor’s Lower Bay will move forward after receiving the support of commissioners Feb. 9.

brokerage advice // buying and selling tips // brokerage listings //

MAY’S QUESTION:

Is a marine survey absolutely necessary, and how can my broker help with it?

For this month’s answer, we consulted our own content. Our August feature, “Buying or Selling Solo,” addressed this very question.

The full feature is on page 46 of the August issue and online at seamagazine.com/ buying-selling-solo.

When it’s time to seriously consider a boat, it will need to be hauled out and surveyed — something that’s usually paid for by the buyer, though as with anything in a sale, that’s negotiable.

The marine surveyor is very similar to a home appraiser and inspector all in one.

“A lot of times, the buying and selling parties may not agree,” said Matt Maynard, broker and owner of Irwin Yacht Sales in Portland, Ore., and Seattle. “There are crucial structural, mechanical, operational and safety issues that come up in the survey.

It’s the broker’s job to understand who should pay for what, and why.”

Some buyers have only bought new boats in the past, boats backed by warranties directly from the manufacturer, and don’t fully understand that brokerage boats are



sold “as is.”

“You are going to have bilge pump failures, a bad fuel sample and other issues with a used boat,” Maynard said. “There are different reasons for these problems, but the question really is how do you remedy it? It’s the job of the brokers on both sides to help the buyer and seller negotiate an agreement that is mutually beneficial to both.”

To give a further answer to this month’s question, here’s what the California Yacht Brokers website (cyba.info) has to say on the subject. These are excerpts from Step Four of “Buying a Used Boat”: • Don’t necessarily use a surveyor the seller has recommended — and don’t rely on a survey report from the seller. The report might have been written before certain problems turned up in the boat.

• Always use an independent surveyor, and always survey the boat in and out of the water. Marine surveyors inspect the boat in your interest and the interests of your lender and insurance company. Often your

lender will designate a marine surveyor, and brokers have lists of marine surveyors approved by lenders and marine insurance companies.

• You should also ask an independent marine mechanic to inspect the engine.

• We recommend that you attend the survey to learn firsthand what condition the boat is in. It’s the best time to ask the surveyor questions.

• If the results reveal flaws and problems, the sea trial and survey may give you the opportunity to back out of a contract without penalty — or to negotiate repairs on the boat.

• Your broker usually gives copies of the survey report to your lender and insurance carrier for their review. They’ll want to know the boat’s condition, its replacement value and the surveyor’s determination of the boat’s market value.

• Keep in mind, though, that surveys are no guarantee against hidden or undetected defects.

Relax with Riviera What sets Riviera apart as one of the world’s greatest motor yacht builders?

Is it the devotion to quality, standard of materials used, the ocean tested structural strength, unsurpassed ease of operation, or the stylish, handcrafted luxury finish? Or perhaps it’s the famous culture of care that transforms owners into the ‘Riviera family’.

The answer is all of the above, and more. Much, much more. Over 37 years and the building of over 5200 luxury motor yachts, the 550-strong Riviera team have been on a continuous quest of evolution and refinement.
