LOCAL DEBUT T

HE WORLD DEBUT of a new yacht is a big deal, especially when the builder is located locally, manufactures locally and debuts the yacht locally. Such was the case in late April when the Duffield 58 made its debut at the Newport Boat Show in Newport Beach. Built by Duffield Yachts, the Adelanto, Calif.-based builder whose other venture, Duffy Boats, has cranked out thousands of smaller electric-powered harbor boats over the course of 40 years, the Duffield 58 was introduced to the world in its home waters, which seems appropriate.

We actually had the opportunity to take the 58 for a sea trial before the show and get the story behind it directly from the guy who brought the vision to life, Marshall “Duffy” Duffield, the mayor pro tem of Newport Beach who has been immersed in the world of boats since his youth. You can find some of the back story on page 38 of this issue, which is where the sea trial appears, but I want to share more of the story here.

The idea was to have a semi-displacement hull that

What resulted is a couples coastal cruiser with a range of more than 1,000 miles at 10 knots.

6

would be super-efficient, cruise easily at 17 knots and still be classic looking. To accomplish all that and more, Duffy enlisted Doug Zurn, a renowned yacht designer out of Massachusetts, who came up with the design to make it all work.

With a design in hand, it was time to find a hybrid propulsion system, since Duffy wanted the most efficient yacht he could build. He found it.

Unfortunately, it was going to cost far too much to make it practical for a recreational yacht, so he went on the hunt for a diesel engine that could operate solo and still hit the markers.

The Caterpillar 12.9 was the one. Hooked to a V-drive, it was placed under the cockpit, which accomplished a couple of other goals the builder had in mind: quieter living spaces and more room for equipment such as a generator and a Seakeeper gyro.

What resulted — what was meant to result — is a couples coastal cruiser with a range of more than 1,000 miles at 10 knots and an easy 20-knot cruise speed. Three staterooms and two heads, a socially oriented flybridge, and abundant seating in the main cabin mean a group could join for a day’s festivities and another couple could easily join for an extended cruise. Find out more about the new Duffield 58 starting on page 38.

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

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

No wonder Carver is taking the marine industry by storm.

Sea trial one at your Carver Yachts dealer soon.

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

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

EA RAY IS UNDERTAKING A BIT OF AN “addition by subtraction” campaign on the luxury end of its lineup. It added a new model to the L-Class — the sixth — but it’s the smallest yacht on that particular branch of the family tree, so the lineup got bigger, and smaller. It’s still just more than 56 feet long with a 15-foot, 7-inch beam, and the DNA is the same.

The L550 debuted at the Yachts Miami Beach boat show. It’s the companion to the L550 Fly, which was introduced last fall, and the smaller sibling to the L650, L650 Fly, L590 and L590 Fly. Perhaps the L550’s coolest feature is the bow entertaining area. It’s more of a conversation pit than anything else and will be the most popular spot on the yacht on a harbor cruise or at the dock. A bench settee faces forward, and a V-shaped sofa is opposite. A removable sunshade is overhead, and a stereo head unit is easily at hand, for ambiance control.

The openness of the main deck and three staterooms (full-beam master) and two heads below are what make the L550 a “dayboat” with “cruisitude.”

The cabin bulkhead is an all-glass affair that opens three-quarters of the way, so the cockpit and main cabin become one area from helm to transom.

Open the big hardtop sunroof, and the interior feels like the outdoors. Windows all around the superstructure add to that feeling.

Twin Caterpillar C12.9L 850 hp diesels power the L550, and they can be connected to a joystick system, to make close-quarters operation videogame simple. The L550 Fly with the same engines reached 30 knots, so the non-flybridge version is sure to go at least that fast.

With Silestone natural quartz counters, walnut wood, Sunbrella fabrics, Stainmaster carpeting, luxe finishes and amenities, a washer/dryer, a wine cooler, a 50-inch salon TV, Bose sound and more, the L550 feels like a high-end yacht, which makes sense. The L in L-Class stands for luxury.

Now, with Father’s Day set for June 18, maybe it’s time to repay the man, but not with a tie or a gift card to his third-favorite restaurant (because you forgot the top two). Think about his time on the water and get something appropriate to that. We have a few category ideas to at least get you thinking correctly:

HEN I MOVED to San Diego about 40 years ago, I thought

the Coronado Islands were part of California’s Channel Islands — you know, as if they all belonged to the U.S. The Coronados are clearly visible 13 miles ahead as you sail down San Diego’s ship channel. Back then, we used to anchor for the weekend in between the Coronados, fish for lunch and dinner, do a little snorkeling and scuba diving, then head back north before sunset on Sunday. Just like weekending at Catalina, right?

Times changed.

Now, most U.S. boaters realize that Mexico owns the Coronados, and the Mexican navy enforces its rules for fishing, customs and immigration. While landlubbers may not realize the islands are Mexico’s property, recreational boaters know their nautical charts clearly mark that international border.

PAPERWORK FIRST What do boaters need? Fishing licenses, tourist cards, a temporary import permit (TIP) for the boat and the printed receipt proving they paid for all these fees. When do boat owners need them? Before they go.

FOREIGN FISHING

At least two weeks before a planned trip, the skipper of a recreational vessel should get the ball rolling by visiting banjercito.com.mx/ registroEmbarques/, a website that combines several others, making it easier to visit Mexico and pay all fees at once by credit card.

The online process is in English and takes at least 30 minutes, and the form can time out, so applicants should have all their facts straight before starting: • Boat details (document or registration number, etc.)

• Existing TIP number (if any) • Name, address and email for everyone who will be aboard (fishing licenses and tourist cards) • Everyone’s passport number • Credit card.

The first part (click English) opens the file for application to enter Mexican waters. (To help in case of problems, it’s a

GO FISH

Fishing for species such as yellow-fin tuna is strong around the Coronado Islands, but mind the daily limits, and make sure everyone has the necessary paperwork to be and fish there, since they are in foreign waters.

good idea to write the file name as shown on the computer’s top line.) Fishing licenses come from CONAPESCA (the National Aquaculture and Fishing Commission).

The tourist cards from INM (National Migration Institute) are good for a single entry, not multiple entries, and don’t allow cardholders to work in Mexico.

Anyone who has trouble getting fishing licenses from this website should check out a different site, suggested by some boaters: sportfishinginmexico.com. The very detailed fishing license application is printable for easier review. Licenses can be valid for either a day, week, month or year, depending on the box chosen. For a three- or four-day visit, it’s cheaper to buy a one-week license ($23.20) for each person.

Next, users will be led to another page to download an Excel-type spreadsheet along

i

with a sample of the same form in English to help fill in the details. (Again, write down the file name, just in case.) Here, the skipper will fill in the blanks to order the crew’s tourist cards (FMMs), for about $23.50 each. Also, he can order a temporary import permit (TIP) for about $55. For port of entry, pick Ensenada, which uses the code ENS. The code for United States citizens is US. Boat owners who already have a TIP for their boat that’s still within its 10-year validity period can fill in its number, place of issue and dates.

The last step is to complete the credit card payment to Banjercito (Mexico’s military bank) and print a receipt, because it will be needed later. Print at least three legible copies to keep aboard the boat, and save the screen version on a computer.

Old-Fashioned Way

Applicants can get same-day service by going in person to CONAPESCA at 2389 First Ave., San Diego, CA 92101. Call (619) 233-4324 with questions. A bank across the street takes credit cards to cut a cashier’s check for CONAPESCA. Otherwise, it will take two weeks by regular mail to send in license applications with payment in a SASE, get them processed and receive them in the mail.

To apply for tourist cards (FMMs) separately, go to the National Immigration Institute (gob.mx/inm) or email them at bc_pescadeportiva@inami.gob.mx.

The Coronados are a chain of four small but dramatic islands 13 miles south of Point Loma but only 5 miles into Mexican waters, four miles off Rosarito Beach. Thanks to their unique location on the lip of the Coronado Escarpment, wildlife above and below the surface is especially rich and diverse. Long protected within a national wildlife refuge, the Coronados are soon to be incorporated into Mexico’s vast new Islands of the Pacific Biosphere Reserve.

The Coronados are famous as Mexico’s most prolific fishing and wildlife region north of Mag Bay and Cabo San Lucas.

Catch the limit of barracuda, bonito, yellowtail, yellow-fin tuna, dorado, several species of marlin, rock cod, white fish, calico bass, halibut, shark, swordfish and other edible species. The daily limit is 10 fish, with no more than five catches of a single species. The exception is one marlin, shark, sailfish or swordfish, and two dorado. Catch and release is encouraged for anything that won’t be eaten.

Every skipper has a favorite route to weave among North Coronado, Sugar Loaf, Middle Ground and South Coronado.

Anglers can drift or anchor to fish, snorkel, scuba dive, kayak, sightsee or photograph underwater — but stepping ashore is prohibited.

The only full-time human inhabitants are a Mexican navy battalion stationed atop Smugglers’ Cove (a.k.a. Cave Cove) on the northeast side of South Coronado. Navy cruisers and patrol boats guard Mexico’s border by hailing (VHF channels 16, 13 and 22) and/or boarding any vessels going north or south. They’re looking for legal paperwork and illegal smuggling of guns, drugs or people.

I’ve been boarded here many times on different vessels, and the Mexican navy boarding and inspection parties have always been polite, well armed and deadly serious. Let them inside and hand them all relevant papers.

Boaters who have visited the Coronados have been to another country, so they need to declare that when they clear customs either at San Diego’s easy Customs Dock or their homeport.

Spice up any summer cruise with one (or more) of these 13 unusual activities.

By Taylor Hill

A summer cruise is definitely the time to see old friends, enjoy a meal at an old standby on the pier, grab a beer at a harbor dive bar and maybe get pampered at the spa in a trusted waterside resort. But even if one has cruised the same waters many times, perhaps there’s something new to find.

We have no problem with kitsch. Heck, the waterfront would be a boring place without it. Perhaps, however, there’s something even better and different just off the beaten path — or even on it. Perhaps it’s time to shake things up on your annual cruise. Perhaps one of the following 13 West Coast places or activities is just the thing to put some pizzazz in that port stop.

What:

A Tree Graveyard Where: Rialto Beach, Wash. Visiting boats can check for slip availability at the nearby Quileute Marina in La Push, just south of Rialto Beach. Visit quileutenation.org/marina or call (360) 374-5392.

The Skinny: Washington’s breathtaking Olympic Coast includes Rialto Beach, a spectacularly scenic shoreline known for its views of offshore sea stacks and its sea life–filled tide pools. But look back toward shore from the beach and you’ll notice a coastline covered in the remains of thousands of trees. Massive logs uprooted during storms have drifted ashore here. The bleached and scoured trees appear ghostly white and form a stark contrast to the dark sands of the beach and the deep green of the trees still holding on to the coast.

Insider Tip: Keep an eye out for werewolf and vampire fans. The beach has gained popularity in recent years, as the area is featured in author Stephanie Meyers’ hit books and movies in the “Twilight” series.

Call (707) 964-4719 for availability.

The Skinny: A beach site owned by a lumber company was Fort Bragg’s dumping grounds for decades, from 1906 until it was closed in 1967. Since then, the sea’s pounding waves have been cleaning the beaches and shaping glass shards into small, smooth, colored pebbles that cover the shoreline. Today, the site is part of MacKerricher State Park.

The Skinny: If Dr. Seuss created a nautical musical instrument, this would be it. The Wave Organ, located on a jetty in San Francisco Bay, is an acoustic sculpture that amplifies the sounds of waves in the bay. The sculpture was built by Peter Richards in collaboration with the Exploratorium, in 1986, and is made out of crushed granite and marble from a demolished cemetery.

Insider Tip: The organ has 25 pipes that plunge below the surface of the water, picking up different wave sounds at various depths, which can rise and fall in pitch with the tides.

What:

Mystery Spot Where: Santa Cruz, Calif. The Mystery Spot is situated in the redwoods just outside of Santa Cruz, so boaters should plan on renting a car to reach the “gravitational anomaly,” after they berth their boat in Santa Cruz Harbor (santacruzharbor. org), which offers daily slip rentals on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Skinny: The visual illusion–based tourist attraction keeps visitors on their

toes. The site, discovered in 1939, is based around a “mystery shack” that was built on the side of a hill, where strange gravitational forces appear to be at work. Balls roll uphill, visitors appear to feel lighter or heavier, and feelings of seasickness can kick in on dry land. Speculated reasons for the peculiarities include cones of metal secretly buried in the ground by aliens, carbon dioxide permeating from the earth, a nearby magma vortex and more.

hose clamps // bilge pumps // grid’s rant

HOSE HEALTH

USING THE CORRECT CLAMP IS VITAL FOR HOSES’ LONG-TERM VIABILITY.

BY DEANE HISLOP

J

UST HOW MUCH attention does a lonely hose clamp require? As long as it’s made of

stainless steel, isn’t one the same as the next? No way, and thoughts like that can sink a boat. The ideal hose clamp transfers the torque applied equally around the circumference of the band — equally being the key word.

The two primary varieties of hose clamp commonly used aboard boats are the worm gear and T-bolt. The worm gear–style clamp consists of a coarsely threaded screw, often tightened by a screwdriver (although a socket may also be used), that engages threads that are either cut or embossed into the clamp’s band.

The less common T-bolt hose clamps typically employ a wider band than a worm-gear

clamp. Their tightening mechanism uses a standard threaded stud and nut. Usually, they are installed using a ratchet and socket, and the nut includes a nylon insert to resist vibration, including loosening.

These attributes make T-bolt clamps desirable for larger hoses and critical applications such as exhaust systems and raw-water intake hoses.

One of the most important aspects of hose-clamp selection is ensuring that the clamp size is properly matched to the hose that’s being secured. On far too many occasions, oversized or undersized clamps are used in any number of critical applications, from fuel supply plumbing to exhaust systems. If the clamp is too small for a given application — i.e., if the band’s width is too narrow — it may improperly impinge on the hose.

On the other hand, if the clamp is too large for the hose, two problems may result.

First, a long, excess section of band will hang off of each clamp. Second, the band’s tightening mechanism may lose efficiency as it reaches the end of its threads. In extreme cases, it may bottom out, fooling the installer into thinking it’s properly tightened when in fact it has run out of useable thread.

So what’s not to like about the rugged T-bolt clamp? It does have two weaknesses.

Because the stud and nut are both made of stainless steel, they are prone to galling or thread damage caused by localized friction-induced heating. This can be avoided by torquing the clamp slowly and by adding a small amount of light lubricant to the threads prior to installation. In addition, because T-bolt clamps are

THEEXPERTS manufactured using a folded section of track-welded stainless steel, they are, under certain applications, susceptible to crevice corrosion, which can be caused by water that’s held within the fold. Frequently, this happens when T-bolt clamps are used in applications where they remain wet (e.g., if they sit in bilge water).

All that is required is 35 to 45 inch/ pounds of torque for the clamp to be tighten properly. That’s about as much as you can apply with a screwdriver without grunting. Too much can lock up the screw and destroy the hose.

Hoses adjust to pressure and slowly give where it is applied. A 200-pound clamping force can become 140 pounds after a few days – a good reason to regularly check clamp tightness.

down through generations when it comes to replacing an unreachable bilge pump. I know a guy who had his seven-year-old kid bilge-dive in order to replace a similarly unreachable pump. But unless you have a skinny kid, a bucket of degreaser and a wife who is out of town for the day, I wouldn’t recommend his approach. If there’s just no room to squeeze around the front or sides

of the engine to access the pump, then as sad as it sounds, removal of the engine just might be the only way to replace it. My advice in that case would be to install a second pump in a more accessible location and call it good. Of course, if you’re lucky your engine may crap out, in which case you could justify pulling it and getting at that pesky pump.

BILGE PUMP BLUES

BY CAPT. FRANK LANIER

Q The bilge pump starting blowing the fuse, so I attempted to change it out. On our 2009 Sea Ray, it is located directly under the center of the engine. I received suggestions such as “epoxy a replacement in another place” and “pull the engine,” but there has to be a way to replace the pump in the original spot. Any idea how?

Lee Komich, via SeaMagazine.com

Boats are assembled in stages, and builders install equipment (such as bilge pumps) at whatever stage access is easiest.

The problem is that easy access during the assembly process may not carry over to the poor end user faced with replacing said equipment. I’ve got arms like an orangutan, but I come across many such installations while doing marine surveys. Some bilge pumps I can barely see with a mirror and flashlight, much less physically access.

That being said, I’m sure the factory technician had plenty of room to install your bilge pump prior to the engine being installed. He also probably didn’t dwell too much on how much of a pain it would be to replace when it failed — heck, that’s years in the future, man.

Unfortunately, there’s no magic bullet — no closely held trick of the trade passed SEAMAGAZINE.COM JUNE 2017 29

ACK IN THE 1980s, an upscale restaurant in

Richmond named The Tobacco Co. had an ad in the paper: All You Can Eat Prime Rib. To me, that meant they’d supply the chair for me to post myself with knife and fork in front of ol’ Bessie, so we made the hour-long trek to Richmond. We had dinner on the third floor, where we had a great server who called me Sir. He brought pasta dishes to my then-spouse and to my daughter. He brought Sir a fine slab of rare prime rib. Well, it didn’t take Sir long to knock that back, and the server returned to ask, “Is Sir done?” “No, Sir is ready for another piece of all you can eat done the same way, thank you.” And off he went.

He returned with a much smaller plate with a smaller prime rib slab. I looked at him.

He arched an eyebrow. I arched mine back. I ate the rib with no further comment. The server returned. “Is Sir all done now?”

I encroached on his territory: “No, Sir has plenty of room left

for another piece of cow.” We locked eyebrows. Off he went to return with a pie plate and an even smaller cut of meat, which I polished off carefully, considering my next move: rib or dessert? The server returned. “Sir is certainly finished now?” Silence struck

the room. “No,” Sir said, “Sir is ready for another all you can eat prime rib, and if you bring the damned thing in a coffee saucer this time, stack two on it!”

I’ve never been to Southeastern Marine, don’t know where in Richmond it is, don’t know the folks there, but many of my customers have a Grady-White with Yamahas from there, and all have been happy with the place. Imagine this: You have a 19-foot Tournament Grady-White with a 200 Yamaha, and you want to buy the exact same boat for your kids. The salesman says “Great!” and takes you to an 18-footer with a 150 Yamaha.

“There ya go — just like yours!”

Based on what I know of Southeastern Marine, this

scenario would never happen.

Sure, it’s a boat, it floats and it has a Yamaha — but it’s not the same! I get to work on some strange boats that customers bought assuming they’d be just like what they had before — and aren’t. Don’t let your vision of a new boat be derailed by a salesman’s vision of a monthend incentive check. If you want a 19-foot Tournament just like what you have, are willing to pay for it and Grady still makes it, you shouldn’t expect an 18-foot offering as a duplicate. Trawlers, yachts, prime rib — you name it — it’s all the same. Boating should be fun and comfortable; you shouldn’t have to arch your eyebrows.

Oh, The Tobacco Co.’s ad in the next Sunday paper? “Prime Rib: One Free Refill.”

CUTWATER

302 SPORT COUPE THIS OUTBOARD-POWERED CRUISER CAN HIT

50 MPH AND HOST A DOCKSIDE SUNSET DINNER.

W

HEN THE GPS speed indicator hit 50 mph, the three people aboard the Cutwater 302 Sport Coupe — myself and Cutwater’s Dan Sadler and Sam Bisset — wanted to exchange high-fives. But we were on top of a choppy sea going, as I indicated, 50 mph in one of the latest models from the folks at Fluid Motion, the Monroe, Wash.based builder of Ranger Tugs and Cutwater Boats.

The twin Yamaha V6 Offshore F300 outboards were spinning at their 6000 rpm maximum and cranking out a combined 600 hp to push the double-stepped hull to that speed, and they were only burning a combined 53 gph, according to the Yamaha display situated between two Garmin 7612 MFDs on the near-vertical dash, resulting in just better than 0.9 mpg. For the hardcore anglers and cruisers out there, that gives the 302 SC a range of about 245 miles (with a 10 percent reserve) at top speed.

Getting 20 or 30 miles offshore, or moving between island hotspots won’t be a problem. At 4200 rpm, the boat was cruising along at 32 mph and the F300s were burning a combined 26 gph, delivering a range of better than 330 miles. That’s a good incentive for all-day cruising, especially given the quiet nature of the four-stroke Yamahas. With the canvas barrier between cockpit and cabin stowed, the highest decibel reading I noted was 89, so the noise level was comfortable, and we were able to hold a fairly normal conversation.

Our time from zero to 30 mph was 14.8 seconds without the tabs engaged, which isn’t bad for a boat that’s more than 10,000 pounds dry. With them engaged, we shaved



TESTER’S OPINION

a second off that time. Driving the C-302 SC is fun thanks to sporty performance that includes tight turns, a sportboat-like lean, quickness out of the hole, and wave-slicing and skipping ability.

Visibility is excellent from anywhere.

FISH & FRIENDS Looking at the aft end of the 302 SC, it’s obvious fishing is one of the boat’s strengths. The cockpit is oversized and free of any toe-stubbing obstructions, six rod holders are anchored in the gunwales and a six-rod rack is mounted on the hardtop, which extends over about half of the cockpit, so there is some shade but still room to work rods. Downriggers are optional. A livewell and a sink are built into an integrated console on the transom.

Another sink is built into a console in the forward port corner, and a refrigerator (or an optional ice-maker) is in the console underneath it. When it’s time to net the big one, the swim step is actually functional, because the big Yamahas are mounted at the aft end of it, leaving room to maneuver forward of them and to either side. And to keep the prize catch fresh, there’s a fishbox with a lid in the portside lazarette under the cockpit sole.

But wait, if there’s all that open area for fishing, what about socializing outside? No worries. Seating for six is hidden around the cockpit. To port and starboard, a two-person seat folds out of the gunwales, actually extending outward, to leave as much room as possible in the cockpit.

Another seat folds down from the transom console. And I miscounted. Two more people can be part of the cockpit social scene, because the backrest on the aft dinette settee moves forward and aft, so the settee can be part of the inside seating or the outside seating. That’s possible because on the Sport Coupe there isn’t a bulkhead between the cockpit and the main cabin. Canvas zips in and out, but there isn’t a door and windows like on the C-302 Coupe.

• The C-302 SC provides a cruising couple the basics to stay on the water

for a week or two (or more), and the tools — bow and stern thrusters, the latest electronics, water heater, heat or air conditioning, and more — to do so safely and comfortably.

While the C-302 SC is a compact cruiser, it delivers a roomy cockpit with a grill, a functional galley, two berths and a fully tricked out helm station from which to operate the 50 mph vessel.

DINE & DRIVE In the main cabin, Cutwater made the most of the space it had, placing a linear galley to port and a dinette across from it.

A doublewide captain’s seat immediately forward of the dinette faces the helm, and a companion seat is across from it, immediately forward of the galley. Above the helm and the windshield is a TV that folds up for storage and easily extends down for viewing.

What appears to be an expanse of maple countertop to port is actually the galley.

The maple is in three sections, one of which is a prep space and two of which lift independently to reveal a stovetop and a sink, and — interestingly — the seatback of the companion seat, which can hide away when not in use. A refrigerator/freezer, a microwave and drawers occupy the space under the counter. In the Luxury Edition the stovetop is electric and the microwave is also a convection oven. In the Northwest Edition, the stove is propane fueled, as is the oven, which replaces the convection.

The microwave is just a microwave.

Much like the aft dinette settee can be forward or aft situated, the captain’s seat serves double duty. It obviously faces forward for driving, but a clever system of hardware allows it to flip, lower a bit and become an aft-facing dinette settee for meals at the dock or on the hook. Plus, the table lowers and converts to a berth. Under the captain’s seat, built into the base of the seat console, is a wine refrigerator (which, I’m told, keeps other things cold too).

A three-panel windshield, two windows on either side of the cabin — the forward one on each side opens — and the open bulkhead aft ensure that visibility is excellent from anywhere.

BEDTIME & BATHING Down a couple of steps between the helm and the companion seat is the stateroom.

The island berth is oddly shaped, to accommodate the head, but it sleeps two easily, and four portholes and two overhead hatches let in plenty of natural light, so it doesn’t feel tucked away and forgotten.

Shelves and drawers provide the storage, and the foot of the bed lifts to reveal even more storage. A flat-screen TV with a DVD player provides the entertainment. The 36 SEAMAGAZINE.COM JUNE 2017

head includes a toilet, a basin sink and a shower whose round enclosure deploys during a shower and stows all other times.

A second berth is cleverly hidden beneath the main cabin dinette and extends all the way under the helm. The mattress extends 80 inches, so all but the tallest people will fit on it. There’s no room to stand — it’s really for sleeping only — and getting into the space can be tight without lifting the aft settee, through a vertical hatch in the base of the settee console. Lifting the settee provides a roomier entry.

A big part of Fluid Motion’s boatbuilding MO is portability: the ability to get from point A to a distant point B without having to be in the water the entire

The C-302 SC is an extension of that philosophy. If fishing isn’t as big a concern, or if a fully enclosed main cabin is a driving factor, buyers might want to consider the C-302 Coupe because of its solid aft bulkhead. The C-302 SC, though,

DUFFIELD 58

TRADITIONAL LINES AND A DOUG ZURN DESIGN CREATE A COUPLES CRUISER WITH RANGE AND COMFORT.

W

E ARE CRUISING through Newport Harbor at 5 knots in a boat built by Marshall “Duffy” Duffield, just as dozens of people do every day in the Southern California harbor. But we aren’t in one of the ubiquitous electric Duffy boats that everyone is familiar with. This “Duffy boat” could use one of those Duffy boats as a tender. We are aboard a brand-new 60-foot flybridge yacht that will have folks asking, “That’s a Duffy?”

Actually, it’s a Duffield Yacht: the Duffield 58. Yes, it’s built by Duffy, but this one isn’t going to be named Watts Up, Doc?, or Charge It! This full-on yacht isn’t electric; it’s powered by a Caterpillar 12.9 diesel that cranks out 985 hp, and thanks to the efficiency of the Doug Zurn-designed semi-displacement hull, that single diesel — hooked up to a V-drive system that allows the engine to be placed far aft — pushes the 53,000-pound yacht to 26 knots. At least it did on test day on a

builder wanted efficiently, and it was more powerful than expected. That was a bit of a breakthrough, giving Duffy the efficiency he was looking for while actually providing a faster cruise speed than the original goal of 17 knots. At 20 knots on test day, the CAT was burning 37 gph, yielding a range of about 490 miles (with a 10 percent reserve), so cruising between ports on the West Coast — and many other coasts — is well within range. Cruisers willing to slow down to 10.6 knots will more than double

Thanks to the efficiency of a Doug Zurn hull, a single diesel pushes the 53,000pound yacht to 26 knots. heaving but otherwise calm Pacific Ocean.

The CAT was burning 52 gph at that speed, for an efficient 0.5 mpg.

CHANGE IN DIRECTION Duffy looked into a diesel-electric hybrid system for the yacht, because he really wanted to build as efficient a yacht as possible, and he found a system he really liked, but the economics of it were prohibitive. If the cost had been double that of a traditional diesel system, he told me, he probably would have pursued it, but when the final number was closer to four times, he knew he had to grudgingly abandon the hybrid system.

At that point, the question became, “One engine or two?” Intensive research revealed a single diesel that could do what the

the range, to about 1,060 miles.

Duffy himself is convinced, after owning a twin-engine boat for 23 years, that a single diesel is the way to go. The two engine failures he’s experienced in that time were both his fault and both avoidable, and probably would have been dodged had he paid more attention, a state of mind having one engine engenders. To be sure potential buyers get the power package they prefer, the Duffield Yachts team created tooling that allows for twin pods and twin diesels hooked to traditional shaft drives, but the single diesel is standard.

There’s a lot more to the story — a

fisherman father who owned lots of boats, designing a Transpac winner, owning a traditional 56-foot Bertram for two decades, thousands of smaller electric boats, two years of work with Zurn, a fortuitous visitor to the Duffy offices, an experienced first buyer who has been endlessly helpful — and Duffy is happy to share it with anyone interested in finding out more. I’m moving on to the boat itself.

SINGLE-LEVEL LIVING Entry to the Duffield 58 from the swim platform, which is big enough to hold a dinghy and lowers into the water for easy launch and retrieval, is up two steps and through a wide opening created by a pair of doors that swing opposite each other.

It’s different than most other boats I’ve been on, which typically have doors to either side of the transom, but it creates a striking visual effect — something like the bottom of a grand staircase from a bygone era. The cockpit on our test boat is wide open, with no furniture, though that can be changed to suit any owner. An eight– rod holder rack is bolted to the flybridge deck overhang.

Through a sliding door is the main cabin, which is basically on one level, with only a single step up to the helm area. A C-shaped dinette settee around a tri-fold table is to port, while a loveseat-sized settee is opposite. Forward of the dinette is the galley. The gas stove and oven are centered in the forward countertop and cabinet, while the sink occupies the aft countertop and cabinet. A refrigerator/ freezer, a trash compactor, an ice-maker, a dishwasher and storage are under the quartz countertops. There is no overhead storage, which keeps the single-level feel and 360-degree views intact. Opposite the galley is a built-in wood cabinet unit with abundant drawer storage and the housing for the high-low TV.

The single-level main deck includes three settees, a full galley, 360-degree views and a helm station with a Garmin electronics suite. The flybridge is a nice social area, too, and below are three staterooms and two heads.

“PILOTHOUSE” On the centerline sits the helm and the single captain’s chair, in the loosely named pilothouse. It’s only raised one step and it’s not separated from the rest of the living space, but we have to call it something. A companion settee to port wraps around a table, and the captain’s chair swivels to join the action there when the boat’s at anchor. The molded fiberglass dash houses twin Garmin GPSmap XSV multifunction displays on its angled face and the engine throttle and joystick — both by Twin Disc — on its base.

The joystick coordinates the main engine and the bow and stern thrusters to deliver precise docking maneuvers without the need for pods. Overhead, above the windshield, are more displays and instruments, which came in handy for collecting all of our test information at a glance.

The ladder to the flybridge and the stairs to the accommodation deck are both to starboard, aft and forward of the watertight aluminum door to the sidedeck. All around the main deck is window glass — a couple of the forward ones open to bring in fresh air — so every seat in the house has a 360-degree view.

ACCOMMODATIONS While part of our conversation centered around the fact the 58 is designed and built as a couples coastal cruiser, it’s clear Duffy and his team had guests — perhaps for weekend island hops — in

mind. Three staterooms and two heads are nestled below, all accessible from a landing at the bottom of the stairs from the main level, which are to the starboard side of the helm.

Directly aft and down two more steps is the third stateroom, with a berth just big enough for two people. Two opening portholes take care of natural light and fresh air, while overhead LEDs and two reading lights provide more illumination. To port, the second stateroom features a full-size mattress, a built-in bureau with drawers and shelf storage, a hanging locker and direct access to the second head, which is also the day head.

In the bow is where the owners will find their stateroom, complete with an en suite head that has a separate shower stall, quartz countertops and a Tecma toilet. The island queen berth has a built-in nightstand to each side and is tapered slightly at the foot, to create several inches of maneuvering space. The aft portion of the mattress lifts on gas shocks to reveal storage. Two hanging lockers, four portlights (two of which open), an overhead hatch, a 36-inch TV and dimmable LED lights are some of the stateroom’s other features.

For a couple on a cruise, being able to use both heads and convert the other two staterooms to storage would promote marital harmony and limit the need to provision along the way.

UP TOP The flybridge on our test boat was fully enclosed, but it can be fully or partially open thanks to the individual canvas sections, depending on the weather and the owner’s desires. Its dash includes a single Garmin MFD, a CAT display, a compass, Garmin and Optimus instrument displays, Twin Disc throttle and joystick controls, and more. The Fusion stereo system can be controlled through the Garmin displays, so the party can definitely have a soundtrack.

A companion chair sits to starboard and a built-in console to port houses a refrigerator and serves as a convenient chart table.

houses a gas grill and provides a prep and/or serving space, and there’s room underneath for a cooler or other supplies.

All the way aft is a boat deck, which could be home to a dinghy and a davit, but since our test boat has a hydraulic swim platform for the dinghy, the boat deck is wide open for chairs or chaises. The ladder from the cockpit comes up here. While I had to duck under the hardtop, most people will have no problem standing up.

FANTASTIC FEATURES As we were motoring along at cruising speed, Duffy showed me his phone screen, which was running a decibel meter app. It read 64 decibels. We were going 18 knots.

My speaking voice caused it to jump, and then it settled back at 64. The aft door was closed, so it would be louder with it open, but not by a lot.

Our ride all day was solid and level, even when I cranked the wheel hard over at 20 knots, thanks to the Seakeeper 9 gyro. For a cruising boat, some kind of stabilization is key for the long legs, and Seakeeper gyros are gaining ground, especially since they work at rest in addition to at speed, to eliminate up to 95 percent of roll.

Finally, the joystick, in this case a Twin Disc, is a feature new boaters will latch onto right away and experienced boaters will come to appreciate, no matter how adept they are at docking the “right” way.

The Twin Disc system integrates traditional engines with bow and stern thrusters (hydraulic, since they may run for longer periods) to create a slow-speed maneuvering system that allows micro movements and sideways motion, which takes a lot of the anxiety out of docking.

The Duffield 58 could be called the Triple C: couples coastal cruiser. The builder wasn’t aiming to build an ocean crosser, wasn’t trying to accommodate the entire family (though the boat can) and wasn’t trying to design a “Euro”-style yacht.

Traditional lines, a traditional interior, a technologically advanced Zurn-designed hull below the waterline, stabilization, up-to-the-moment electronics and a heritage stretching back 40 years combined to create a yacht that runs quiet, runs far, and runs level and solid.

NO LIMIT SHIPS 1550

THIS UNUSUAL BOAT FROM THE NETHERLANDS IS A GLOBAL TROTTER AND A LOCAL CRUISER.

S

OMETIMES, I’M NOT sure why I accept certain sea trial assignments. I mean, what am I

going to bring to the discussion based on a three-hour sea trial that hasn’t been revealed already? Take this review, on the No Limit Ships 1550 (NLS). I’m thinking, These guys just crossed the Atlantic, from Amsterdam, all the way down the East Coast of the U.S. and landed in Ft. Lauderdale. What can I add to their travel blogs and testimonies that they haven’t already experienced? Well, for one, I can certainly validate some of their findings based on just a three-hour tour. I can also relay to Sea’s readers that his yacht doesn’t have to span an ocean to be a worthwhile vessel for one’s cruising needs.

BEAUTY, WELL, YOU KNOW...

This is not a typical white-hulled, blingbling yacht. No, it looks like a pilot boat or a search-and-rescue vessel. Commercial but utilitarian in its building style, No Limit Ships does build workboats and yachts — they just happen to look alike. The 1550, like the other models, has a hard bottom with tubing that rings the hull. Basically, it’s a rigid inflatable. A raised bow akin to a Downeast-style boat keeps the pointy end up so it can fight the head seas. An aluminum superstructure sits atop the steel hull and adds to the low center of gravity and stability.

KEEPING IT STEADY The 1550’s low center of gravity helps to make a stable vessel. Add in the air-filled tubing, and it makes for a steady ride in the slop. I can attest to that, as we ventured offshore of Port Everglades, Fla., on our test run — smack into a 4-plus-foot chop that wasn’t sure which direction it was coming from, or going to. On other yachts this might have been a white-knuckled ride.

On the NLS 1550, it was just another jaunt offshore.



TESTER’S OPINION

With a deep, sharp entry point at the bow, the hull slices well into the seas. At speed with the hull rise, the tubes are out of the water. But get into the slop and the eight-chambered, pressure-controlled Henshaw inflatable collar adds so much stability, almost like outriggers, the 1550 can head out on days when others remain tied to the dock.

“There’s no need to pick and choose your boating days,” said Piet “Peter” Wierenga Jr., the same-named son of one of the founders. “If you need to be there, this is for you.”

Besides adding a tough appearance, the tubes also work as fenders along a dock, so additional fenders may not be needed.

To be certain, due to the yacht’s low profile and the windy conditions on test day, we did take some good spray and a few waves over the deck, but the bow never dug in, we maintained control throughout the journey and the three Ealto adjustable windshield wipers squeegeed the glass spotless with each pass. Twin Volvo Penta D9 inboard engines — connected to direct drives and producing 575 hp each — and five-bladed props delivered enough power

and bite to dial the speedometer up to 25 knots, but the 1550 can easily pull back to a leisurely cruise of 9 knots.

INNER FEELINGS Just because the NLS 1550 is all business outside doesn’t mean it lacks a softer side.

Giving buyers a choice of interior wood and material finishes, No Limit Ships will customize each vessel as the buyer desires.

Our ride had light wood in the pilothouse, which added to the open and airy feeling created by the three large forward windshield panes and side and aft glass. I also like the fact that the entire inside of the yacht had heated floors.

On center is the helm — really a smart workstation — with counter space on the left for charts and gear, a raised console for the display screens, a flat dash for extra devices and a right-side peninsula counter for the throttle controls and rudder stick. Electronics installed on my test ride included twin Raymarine E120 navigation systems with multifunction displays, a Volvo Penta engine monitoring display, a Humphree Interceptor Trim System controller, Max Power bow and stern thruster joysticks, a Holland Nautic rudder control lever and more. Visibility from the single Recaro helm seat was excellent, and a cushioned seat to port will accommodate an extra set of eyes to keep watch or peruse the charts. There is an outside control station for nice days (or when the captain needs a bracing dose of salt water to the face).

Aft to port is a corner L-shaped settee with foldout wooden pedestal table.

and Piet Wierenga Sr., the builder’s mission was to create an extremely seaworthy, safe and comfortable ship — a ship with “no limits.” That was certainly proven when the 1550 sailed 5,000 miles along the Northern Atlantic route, departing The Netherlands for Ft. Lauderdale, with stops along the way in the United Kingdom, Iceland, Greenland, Canada and the U.S. East Coast, and arrived just in time to be introduced to the U.S. market at the 2016 Ft.

We didn’t have to wait for a single bridge, since the boat had only an 11-foot air draft with the arch down.

As mentioned, there is an outside helm station. Situated at the aft end of the house structure and directly over the engine room door is a platform that has sufficient room for two or three people to stand.

The cockpit has plenty of side-to seating.

Under that seating and in the deck is plenty of storage. With beefy hinges and two or three dog latches per cover, the under areas

Access to the cabin is via an aft door or two Seaglaze side doors, and it’s evident by the layout of the outside decks that this is a bluewater cruiser. Check the details. Each side door has three hinges with five screws per hinge side — that’s 30 screws right there. Well done! Railings and cleats are welded to the aluminum structure, drain holes make quick work of shipping water off the surface and sidedecks are sufficiently wide enough that the crew can walk normally forward and not have to shuffle along. Grabrails and railings are seemingly everywhere: along the house, around the cockpit, at every step up. Safety is a key aspect to the NLS 1550, and it’s noticeable.

At the bow is a beefed-up railing and a bow ladder, for reboarding after beach landings.

The boat’s Downeast styling brings an inherent low profile. Even with a plethora of antennas, a radar dome and lights, the arch isn’t a hassle. It easily unlocks and

will stay dry.

Boarding from the dock is easy thanks to sidedeck gates and an aft dropdown transom door that acts as a step for boarding or departing. It’s also used for access to the transom swim ladder.

MAN THE CON Heading in from our sea trial, I was able to get some wheel time, actually pretty much all the way back to the dock.

Handling was effortless in a following sea, with very little side-to-side rocking.

Thinking about it, there really wasn’t any.

I mean, this yacht had exceptional stability (did I say that already?). Even spinning the boat beam-to in the inlet was a rock-solid experience.

On the inland river, the rudder control lever was all I needed as I navigated the tight turns and large yacht traffic.

Responsive, easy and predictable are safe words to describe the handling.

Wierenga Jr. noted that the customer base for the NLS 1550 is a no-nonsense type personality: “A four-by-four driver who needs to be there and probably has limited time.”

No Limit Ships touts the 1550 as an “all-weather vessel.” Let me add that it’s also for all oceans and rivers, and for any time the owner needs to get there. What did I bring to this sea trial? Well, the validity that No Limit Ships builds a darn good yacht.

ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY AT all levels of boat building are shaping what today’s vessels look like and how we interact with them, both inside and out.

Changes in boat building techniques, machinery, electronics, lighting and advanced finishing materials are all meeting head-on with shifting lifestyles and evolving tastes, and together they are impacting the design of decks and interiors. In a way, it’s a badly needed house cleaning — an innovation-induced streamlining, if you will.

Today, less is more. Except when more is more.

AND INTERIORS ARE BEING DESIGNED.

BY ZUZANA PROCHAZKA

First, let’s establish the boundaries between design and décor. We’re not talking about throw pillows and area rugs here. Design is the bones and muscle of a project while décor is the skin. “Décor is the outer crust,” said Sylvia Bolton of Seattle-based Sylvia Bolton Design. “It’s the last 10 percent of design.”

That said, one blends into the other pretty quickly, and for the uninitiated, the lines blur, especially when the results are sublime. Design starts inside and becomes intrinsic to the structure itself. Carbon fiber and preimpregnated materials are making boats lighter so they can be built taller and beamier, yielding more deck and accommodation space. The next layer of design is layout and size of the spaces, which are changing as engines get smaller, materials thinner and wireless controls more prolific.

Designers get involved early in the process, even on production boats. “It’s a give-and-take process with the naval architects,” Bolton said. “Our mission is to work with them as a team.”

Volume builders such as Beneteau and Sea Ray have stepped up their game by adding French and Italian design companies. They have brought higher levels of luxury and elevated the expectations of the average boater. And that in turn, has pushed the aesthetic evolution up the food chain, so designers are in demand.

Boats are more difficult to work with than houses. Form and function must combine seamlessly in a demanding environment. The spaces are tighter, the materials must be tougher and weight is always an issue. Good design works within structural confines. For safety and practicality, sometimes it’s not possible to just push a bulkhead to make a room bigger or to make a space look nicer.

“You have to pick the right aesthetic for the job,” Bolton said. “You wouldn’t run a marathon in gorgeous high heels, would you?”

SQUEEZING SPACE AND SOUND The current trend is toward minimalism, which has been enabled by technology.

Wireless controls have cleaned up boats’ environments, so there are fewer switches, remote controls and gadgets, especially since one device — an iPad or tablet, for example — can command a dozen functions, including sound, lighting and systems. “We don’t need so many devices anymore,” Bolton said. “And if I don’t need it, I don’t put it in.”

Moreover, service spaces such as heads and galleys are being reinterpreted and decorated the same as formal spaces. Look at a modern galley and notice how its functionality is hidden. Stoves and refrigerators are covered, appliances are camouflaged and sinks are tucked neatly away. The open layout concept comes directly from residences that have merged the living room and kitchen into a great room and then spiffed up both.

“We invite our guests aboard to join us as we effectively cook in our living room,” Bolton said. “And hidden faucets and fewer visible appliances make you feel less like you’re toiling in the kitchen while you entertain.”

The appeal of open living has also been enabled by technology as materials have

become lighter and thinner. “I try to squeeze out every last inch from a space,” Bolton said. “Today’s bedrooms and baths blend into one, and on a boat, you need that last quarter of an inch, so why not do away with the bulkhead and add a pocket door? You have privacy when needed but can keep everything open the rest of the time. Flexible materials bring more volume to a room.”

With the increased popularity of pod drives that move the engines farther aft in the hull, interior spaces have grown. Midship master staterooms in particular have benefited from this, as master baths migrated back between the machinery space and the bedroom. Not only did pod-drive placement create the full-beam master that’s become de riguer, but buffeting heads and walk-in closets solved a specific noise challenge.

Everything on a boat is always in some form of motion, and noise and vibration are

fatiguing. Sound is carried by, or bounced off of, every boat surface from cabinetry to teak-and-holly soles. The need to dampen all that noise has popularized the use of soft leather and fabric-covered panels on walls and bulkheads. Thin new acoustic foam, padded headboards and wall coverings break up wood, chrome and glass surfaces, and the boat becomes quieter by design.

Plus, as Bolton pointed out, modular panels are easy to change out if they get damaged or when the boat is ready for a redesign.

Heads, such as on the Sea Ray L650 (1), now match the rest of the yacht for luxury, while builders such as Horizon (2) use padded headboards and head spaces to attenuate sound

systems such as CZone are replacing electrical panels that used to take up a lot more space than just one display.

One of the most impactful technical developments has been LED lighting that has a low draw (smaller battery banks, anyone?) and produces less heat. LEDs have expanded the use of energy-saving underwater lighting to create fabulous environments and provided cooler indirect lighting that can be safely hidden behind valences and under furniture. Moreover, the quality of LED lights has skyrocketed with nine shades of white and better quality consistency. Also, lights can be turned on and off with a smartphone or via an MFD. And nothing manages surroundings more uniquely or thoroughly than light.

SYSTEM, ELECTRONICS & LIGHTING Because MFDs and other monitors are no longer 30 inches deep, the space that used to be lost can be opened up and used differently. Bolton pushed back a vertical bulkhead near the helm dash and enhanced it with artwork in the form of silver fish on a paper background. Not only did it create a conversation piece, the change brought more light to the lower level. “Technology and styling combine for better functionality, and there’s less fear now that it won’t work once it’s used,” she said.

Advanced electronics do double duty to control lighting, audio and video, so wall switches are disappearing. Not just for navigation anymore, an MFD can stream a movie from a laptop on the flybridge, so boat owners can do away with extra monitors, DVRs and stereo control heads. And digital switching

Indoor and outdoor spaces are merging on boats.

Slim electrically actuated sunroofs are opening up giant spaces over what used to be salons. Glass doors disappear into bulkheads or fold in unique ways to combine the galley and cockpit. And flybridges can be free-form open spaces or enclosed sky lounges at the touch of a button. Given the blending of interior and exterior and added cockpit climate control — both heat and air conditioning — we no longer differentiate between the two. Our expectations are that every system and piece of equipment can adapt as the inside is brought out and the outside in.

Flexibility has also defined how deck furniture is presented. There are fewer built-in settees and tables and more freestanding and loose pieces. “We create terraces more than decks today,” Bolton said.

“Furniture can be moved around, and that flybridge chair is now so beautifully upholstered with durable materials that it can be brought to the inside dining table as well.”

M A D F O R M AT E R I A L S Notable innovation has been made in high-end textiles. Waterproof vinyl looks and feels like real leather and dissipates heat better — no more scorched backsides due to a hot outdoor settee.

And the new fabrics are so versatile that there’s very little difference between indoor and outdoor use. Newly combined indoor-outdoor space can be adorned with velvet- and wool-like materials that add richness.

“My Sunbrella library of sample books is 8 feet by 8 feet by 3 feet,” said Shelley DiCondina of Yacht Interiors by Shelley, in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. “There are amazing chenilles with pearl and beading accents that can withstand being outside in the cockpit or on a sunpad. These sensible materials will survive in blended environments.”

Engineered wood has gotten lighter and more realistic as well, and technology has made these materials more manageable to use and maintain.

Furthermore, some synthetic materials are more fire retardant, with lower “flame spread” properties than their natural counterparts, enabling their use in corridors and crew quarters (while still meeting building codes).

ARTISTIC ADDITIONS “People love art,” Bolton said, “but for some reason, they feel they can’t have it on a boat. We like to change that perception.”

Bolton is no stranger to art. She started out in fine art as a painter before switching to applied art and industrial design. She likes to add truly unique touches, especially in the form of nature — think fish, sea stars and dragonflies — as small sculptures attached to vertical surfaces such as bulkheads, stairwells and Palettes today are mostly headboards. Not only does this elongate a neutral with pops of color surface, it draws the eye in a direction, suggest(6).

LASTING EFFECTS

Design may lead the evolution, but décor is close by, sweeping up the details and punching up the trends. Nowhere is this more evident than in color choices. Per DiCondina, the palette today is mostly neutral, based on mineral tones such as shades of gray that work well together. “With their boat, people seem to be creating a respite from their high-stress jobs and social interactions,” she said, adding that there’s room for color as soothing organic bases are intensified with reds and corals. “Bold color is used in small accents.”

A visit to a boat show or an open house should remind observers that color consistency is king and grayish walnut tones have become dominant everywhere, espeTO THE WEB cially in production boats. Interpretations of the shades vary, but the trend is unmisSylviaBolton.com takable. And high-gloss finishes are in too, YachtInteriorsByShelley.com because, as Bolton pointed out, gloss is easier to repair than a satin finish.

Stone is more popular than ever, but bold patterns, flecks and colors have given way to shades of white that offer a cleaner and calmer aesthetic. With modern techniques, granite and marble can be cut to a thickness of about

Per DiCondina, who works frequently with Hargrave, yacht interiors change every three to eight years. This has repercussions on the sale of new vessels as well as the resale value of pre-owned yachts. Average project development time can be 12 months. Add to that the number of years the owner will keep the vessel before it comes back on the market and it’s clear that design must anticipate what will be in demand well in advance. An awareness of trends is critical, and a designer with a good eye is invaluable.

As the pace of innovation accelerates, it influences our expectations in the way we live, which doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. We strive for less, but we can only achieve it with more. Boats are becoming lighter, sleeker and less cluttered but also more functional, user friendly and technology laden. They’re spare but they’re rich, they’re less and, simultaneously, they’re more.

At some point all boaters encounter conditions where the basic anchoring techniques they’ve used successfully hundreds of times before just aren’t cutting it.

An anchor that won’t stop dragging no matter how many times it’s reset (or won’t let go when it’s time to leave), an otherwise perfect anchorage with limited swing room, anchoring in shifting current and winds — all are problems that can be addressed by knowing the proper techniques and when to employ them. By Capt. Frank Lanier

SOMETIMES, SIMPLY FIGURING OUT SCOPE AND DROPPING THE HOOK AREN’T ENOUGH.

TECHNIQUES Current Change Want to drop the hook in an area that experiences 180-degree current shifts but have concerns a standard single-anchor setup just can’t deal with it? Try the Bahamian moor, an anchoring technique that gets its name from the contrary winds and tidal currents found in that region. Deploy one anchor upstream and a second one downstream, with both rodes attached at the bow, which allows the boat to ride between the two. As the boat swings 180 degrees during current shifts, the first and second anchors alternate between being the riding anchor (the one upstream under tension) and the lee anchor (the one down current with no load), and the boat is always pointing bow up. The Bahamian moor not only provides a secure way to anchor in areas with reversing currents but

can also be used to limit a vessel’s swing radius in other situations.

The Bahamian moor has its downsides. One is the possibility of twisted rodes, a result of vessel swings or circles during current shifts. Another is the potential chafing of combination rope-and-chain rodes if the slack rode rubs against the vessel’s hull or snags on the keel or running gear, which could prevent the vessel from swinging to its new position with each current change. The latter can be prevented by bridling or attaching the rodes together at deck level, then lowering them until they reach below the keel. When one of the rodes is all chain, the chain’s weight is normally enough to accomplish this, but you may need a kellet if you use two combination rodes. (More on kellets later.)

Boat will be centered at the apex

If the problem is shifting winds rather than contrary currents, give dual-anchor mooring a try. Set two anchors to windward, 45 to 60 degrees apart, so the rodes form a V with the boat centered in its apex. The simplest way to accomplish this in light winds is to let go the first anchor, motor at a right angle across the wind the intended length of the first anchor rode and then release the second anchor, adjusting the rodes as needed afterward while falling back between the two. In strong winds, set the first anchor as you would normally (with the length of rode you need) and then motor upwind at a 45-degree angle. Drop the second anchor when the boat is abreast of the first and then fall back between the two, again adjusting the rodes as necessary.

Be sure to monitor rode locations during both procedures — specifically combination rodes — to avoid sucking them into your prop. Using marking buoys will make it a lot easier to keep track of anchor positioning during all this. While deploying matching rodes (either combination or all chain) for both anchors makes it easier to correctly position the boat, rode types can be mixed if necessary — just increase the scope of the combination rode to match the holding power of an all-chain rode.

An added benefit of dual-anchor mooring is the option of paying out additional rode as the wind pipes up. Doing so reduces the angle between the two

anchors and increases their holding power.

Thirty-five degrees is considered optimal in gale conditions. Placing the largest anchor in the direction of the strongest expected winds will also improve holding power.

Crowded Anchorage So you get underway later than planned and arrive at the anchorage to find it’s standing room only. There’s one slice of water left that’s doable — if you can limit the boat’s swing radius. Or, you find that perfect gunkhole with deep water right in the middle, but there’s no room for swinging without bumping into a shoal.

One possible solution for both cases is fore-and-aft mooring.

Setting the anchors for fore-and-aft mooring is similar to Bahamian mooring, except the rodes are located at bow and

The trick to foreand-aft mooring is visualizing where the boat should end up stern, one each, rather than the bow alone.

The trick to fore-and-aft mooring is visualizing where the boat should end up once both anchors are out and setting them accordingly. For example, if you want 100 foot of rode out, drop the bow anchor that distance forward of the spot you’ve chosen, back down 200 feet and drop the

ANCHORING 201 second anchor. Next, take in 100 feet of the bow anchor rode while letting out the same amount rode for the second, or aft, anchor. Finally, snub up both anchors at the bow and stern and center the boat between the two. If both anchors are located at the bow, simply lead the rode for the second anchor aft to a suitably strong cleat or other such attachment point. Having both anchors ready in advance and briefing the crew, so all members know their role, before

anchoring will make deployment smoother.

There are disadvantages to fore-andaft anchoring, however. While it makes more efficient use of available anchorage space, everyone needs to do it, or boats may bump into each other if there’s a wind or current shift. It’s also not recommended if there are significant crosswinds or currents, both of which can place high side-loads and unwanted strain on boats’ ground tackle.

BAG OF TRICKS 2

At Ease at Anchor There are additional tricks to improve a boat’s performance on the hook that have nothing to do with the hook itself. One trick is to use a kellet — also known as an angel or sentinel — which is simply a weight sent down the rode once the anchor is set. The kellet steepens the rode’s entry angle and decreases the anchor’s lead angle on the bottom. A kellet can be useful in many situations, such as when an anchor is dragging in a location where the anchorage is too deep or crowded to make paying out more rode a viable solution.

A kellet should weigh between 25 and 35 pounds for a typical 35-foot vessel, but this can be increased in severe weather to generate additional holding power. Ideally, the kellet should be positioned roughly halfway along the rode between the bow and the anchor, but this can be varied to compensate for local conditions. For example, placing it farther up increases the shock-absorbing qualities of your rig, while lowering it closer to the anchor increases holding power. The kellet retrieval line should be attached to a bow deck cleat and kept fairly taut, to reduce chances of fouling.

Kellets can be purchased or made from materials at hand, such as scubadiving weights, a weighted canvas bag or even a small anchor. They can also be constructed from a 1- to 2-foot section of large-diameter PVC pipe capped at both

54

ends and filled with lead or chain. A large shackle can be used as a rider for the kellet on all-chain rode, but if you have a combination rode, use a saddle rider, a snatch block or another suitable means of attaching the kellet, to prevent chafing the rode.

Another common problem for boats on the hook is “anchor sailing” or sheering, which is caused by windage from a boat’s hull, superstructure and rigging. With each wind shift, the bow falls off, only to be brought up short by the anchor rode, which in turn forces it to point in the opposite direction. Sheering is more pronounced in modern boats with wide beams and narrow keels, but any vessel riding to a single anchor is susceptible.

Sheering is not only annoying but potentially dangerous due to the excessive side loads it places on ground

tackle, which could lead to dragging or failure.

Using twin bridles or simply forming a bridle by attaching a second length of rope via a rolling hitch will reduce or eliminate sheering in lighter winds; however, in windier conditions the addition of an anchor riding sail is an excellent strategy.

Fouled Anchors

Use the messenger to pull the anchor free from the obstruction

We try so hard to get our anchors to set quickly and hold fast, but it’s only a matter of time before we’re faced with the opposite problem — the anchor that won’t break free.

Probably the easiest thing to try first is using the vessel’s own buoyancy and whatever wave action there is to help out. Position the boat so the rode is vertical, then snub it up as tight as you can with each successive dip of the bow, letting the pumping action of the vessel work the anchor free.

If this doesn’t work, let out a little scope (2:1) and motor forward in an effort to back the hook out. Circling the anchor while keeping the rode tight may work as well.

The above tricks will put your anchor on deck

95 percent of the time, but at some point you’ll drop the hook and Davy Jones just won’t let go (and I’m not talking about that guy from the Monkees). What you do then will be based on circumstances and what you have in your bag of tricks.

If the water’s clear and the weather nice, grab a snorkel or diving gear and check things out. If that’s not an option, take a look at the chart for the anchorage and try to figure out what the anchor could be hung on — rocks, cable, etc. — and take appropriate action. If you think a cable or old anchor chain is the culprit, utilizing an anchor rider or chaser may do the trick. Shackle a short length of chain together to form a loop around the anchor rode, then lower it down to the anchor using a messenger line of double-braided nylon (3/8-inch minimum). Double-braided line has less stretch than three-strand and won’t snap back if it breaks or when the anchor comes free. Once you’ve worked the chaser over the anchor’s shank — keeping the rode tight and vertical will make this easier — use the messenger to pull the anchor backwards and, hopefully, free from the obstruction.

In extreme cases, you may have to buoy the rode, cast it off, and try backing out the anchor with the messenger by pulling 180 degrees from where you were originally anchored. You can also try fishing for the troublesome chain or cable with a grapnel, but be sure to attach a trip line to the grapnel’s crown to aid in retrieval in case it gets stuck too!

ENJOY THE CRUISING LIFE WHEN IT’S TIME, CUT THE LINES AND GO! STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

IT SOUNDS EASY, “WE’LL LEAVE when everything on the ‘to-do list’ is completed.” It sounds easy, yes, but it’s not. It’s hard, damn hard, because there is always something to be done on a boat. You no sooner whittle the to-do list down to a manageable list of actions and you find something else that needs to be done. I know people who work on their boat all the time and it never leaves the dock. My friend, Joe, had dreams of cruising the Inside Passage to Alaska, and for years he would spend every free moment on board working on his beloved boat trying to make it perfect, but he died before the list was completed.

Should completing the tasks on a list be your goal? Here are some practical tips to ease your way out of the marina and into the cruise of your dreams.

First, there’ll never be a time when all your boat jobs are done. If you wait that long, you’ll never go. Instead, you’ll have to qualify and quantify which of your tasks are must-do, want-to-do, and can-do-later jobs.

HANDLING THE STRESS If this is your first major extended cruise, you’ll be under a lot of stress that’s both self-induced and related to your family.

You’ll want the boat to be perfect, fully provisioned and stocked with all of the necessary spare parts. This is the easy part.

But there’s an emotional component that might unexpectedly engulf you as well.

You’re about to leave behind everything

and everyone you cherish. This is a big step.

This is no longer a theoretical equation. It’s reality. You’re finally making the break for your sea of dreams.

The truly unknown awaits, and the unknown can be emotional and a bit scary.

Fear not. Others have been down this path and survived, and so will you. Extended cruising gets easier as you go along, or at least within the same area.

PREPARING More than a dozen years ago, when retirement was still a few years away, we were already transitioning from dreaming of a cruising lifestyle to planning it. We wanted to try cruising for longer than a weekend cruise or even a week or two, to SEAMAGAZINE.COM JUNE 2017 PNW-1

important tasks are completed and the other stuff, which isn’t truly necessary, is correctly labeled as such. Tasks are divided up between us according to our crew roles, which is mostly into the pink and blue jobs.

On the departure date, we toss the lines, power away and make the declaration that if we forgot anything we’ll do without.

SETTLING IN We spend the first couple of days crossing the border, provisioning with items we could not bring across the border and catching our breath. It usually takes us four to seven days to get into what we call “cruise mode,” the day-to-day routine of cruising life.

We both, individually, attempt to realize that each of us is busy and a bit stressed.

Thus, we make a special effort to be aware of each other’s emotional needs.

THE GOAL

ensure the cruising lifestyle was for us.

We reasoned that many experiences that are fine for a short cruise would pale in comparison as a full-time lifestyle. Why dream and plan for many years if it doesn’t suit you? Three or four weeks is about the minimum for a good test for the lifestyle.

Even then, there is a huge difference between three weeks and three months.

The work and nerves got easier with

time, we learned to slow down enjoy life, and we switched from a sightseeing mode to simply living aboard.

Many years ago, before our extended cruising, Arlene and I made all the classic mistakes. To avoid similar departure snafus, we have developed a process to ensure we cast off on schedule. Now, we set a date well in advance and then stick to it. We prioritize our to-do list so the truly

In many ways, the challenge of being a sea gypsy is unique. Normally, partners work together to accomplish an easily defined, clearly accomplishable goal, such as cruising to Alaska. This is all well and good. But the real goal of cruising is to relax, have fun and enjoy the trip. All of which has a different definition for everyone. I have fun fishing, hiking, exploring new anchorages and documenting our travel through photos. Arlene enjoys reading, catching crabs and prawns, and preparing special boat meals using what the sea provides.

Luckily, a boat can accommodate a wide variety of styles and desire. Want to be alone? A small vessel is a perfect choice for people who cherish their solitude. For those who want to socialize, there are plenty of marinas and small towns along the coast. But the trick is to allow each other the personal time, space, and emotional support so both get what they want. All this doesn’t happen naturally. You have to work at it, especially at first.

The key to casting off on an extended cruise is, like in life itself, to keep it fun.

And we all know that fun is doubled when sharing it with someone you love.

Oh, and a healthy sense of humor helps, too.

GAS WORKS PARK SEATTLE

VISITORS TO SEATTLE’S LAKE UNION are familiar with the remains of an industrial-looking edifice on a jut of land on the north shore. From a boat, people can be seen enjoying the green hills surrounding the remnants of a bygone era. Gas Works Park is now, and has been since 1975, a public space. Before that, the coal gasification plant — the only such plant remaining in the U.S. — operated from 1906 to 1956.

In 2013, the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

While swimming, fishing and wading are prohibited at the park — the sediment is contaminated — the views and play areas make up for it.

The park includes picnic areas that can be reserved ahead of time (seattle. gov).

A hill in the park is popular with kite flyers.

The films “Singles” and “10 Things I Hate About You” used the park as a setting for scenes.

For folks who don’t wear a watch but like knowing the time, the park includes a sundial.

SINGING PINK SCALLOPS SEATTLE, WASH. AREA

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN over 20 years, Pink Singer scallops are back on menus in the Seattle area. The native Puget Sound bivalve hasn’t been available commercially for nearly 20 years. The species is called Pink Singer because they are pink in color and when they swim through the water they open and close their shells to propel themselves through the water, appearing to sing.

JONES FAMILY FARMS (jffarms.com) is currently the only harvester of

Pink Singer Scallops in the Lopez Island area. Check their website to see which area restaurants are serving the scallops.

IN A 1987 New York Times article, Susan Herrmann Loomis wrote “Pink

Singer Scallops, which have a more complex flavor than sea scallops on the East Coast, are less aggressively sweet and they are balanced by a pleasant, oysterlike brininess.”

IN THE 1970s and ’80s, the scallops were abundantly harvested. In the early ’90s they disappeared from menus because of poisoning scares and a very short shelf life. They haven’t returned to the Seattle scene until recently.

THESE LOCAL DELICACIES are usually found in five pound mesh bags

and need to be consumed within 48 hours after being removed from the water.

MEET AARON BEAN CHARTER CAPTAIN, SITKA, ALASKA

PACIFIC PARALLAX IS ONE OF the more successful charter operations in Sitka, Alaska. It’s a 42-foot fishing boat that can operate on days other boats stay in the harbor, and its captain and owner, Aaron Bean, is a lifelong Sitka resident who learned the fishing business the hard way, from a half-share newbie on up. Bean, who is savvy enough to have an online and social media presence, worked as a charter captain for other businesses for years before getting Pacific Parallax (pacificparallax.com) in 2012 and running his own charters, which take advantage of the fish-rich waters around Sitka to catch salmon, halibut and more. He told us, “For all the years I have been captain I’ve never had a day wasn’t thankful for my life on the ocean.” Here’s how he got to where he is now.

SEA: How did you get started on the water?

AB: My first memories are of my father and me harvesting herring eggs in Sitka Sound during the spring. When I was 15, my first job was working nights at a fish plant. As I would unload the salmon boats’ catch, I would solicit the boat owners for work. The idea of catching fish for a living was very appealing to me.

Although I didn’t have any job offers as a result of my efforts from the fish plant, I decided to walk the docks on my days off and continue my search. I knew the reputation of most of the local salmon boats, and of course the guys who caught a lot of fish didn’t have any openings, with the exception of one: F/V Reiver, one of Sitka’s salmon highliners at the time. As I asked for the job, I was told the last guy was just fired and I could start immediately. I wasn’t expecting to start so soon, but I couldn’t have been more excited.

How did that first gig go?

My dreams of how easy the money would be were gone before we left the dock for the first time. I spent the first week grinding, priming and painting the 58-foot-by-18foot superstructure. I remember thinking, “This is hard, but the captain seems really nice.” I couldn’t understand how he had

come to gain the nickname Screamer (or how I would later refer to him as “The king of scream”).

I remember thinking about how I couldn’t wait to start making money, because one isn’t paid for the boat work that is done prior to fishing. After all the boat, net and skiff work was done, we finally started to fish. That’s when the work really started. During the season it wasn’t uncommon to work 18-hour days. After the first trip, we arrived back in Sitka, and I went home to tell my mother and father that I decided to quit.

How difficult was that conversation?

I remember how excited my dad was to hear about my first seining trip. I felt horrible about the news I was about to tell him.

After telling him all about the long days and loads of fish, I told him I wasn’t sure if I could handle the hard, long hours and getting yelled at all the time. So I told him I didn’t think I was going to go back out.

His grin went away and he asked me how many hours I had put into boat work and preparation. I told him months and months. He followed up by asking me what I had thought I had earned on my first trip as a half share — that’s what a greenhorn deckhand earns his first year. After some

quick calculations, it was obvious I would have done all that work for pennies on the hour. My father asked me if I felt my work was worth more than that. He asked me to remember how badly I wanted to be a commercial fisherman. He asked me to remind myself why I left the fish plant. He told me to be honest with myself, and if the answer is still to quit, go ahead and quit.

I went on to justify why I would be right to quit and how unfairly I was treated. My dad quietly sat and listened. After I was done, he asked me when I was supposed to be back at the boat. I told him 0600 the following day. He said, “Your mother and I will support you regardless to what you decide to do.”

I set my alarm for 0530. I could smell coffee brewing. I went out into the living room and saw my dad sitting at the dining room table. There was already a black cup of coffee poured and waiting for me. He said good morning and asked me what my plans were for the day. I told him I was going to go catch some fish.

So the season must have gone well.

A few weeks after I went back to school, I received a call from the captain. He had my settlement ready. I remember trying to figure out how much money I was going to make. Having no idea of what the exact expenses were, and knowing that I was only getting a half share (5 percent), I was counting on about $8,500. I went to the boat and met the captain in the wheelhouse. As we finished talking about my classes and his plans for longlining, he handed me a check for $22,500. I tried not to jump up and down! He said, “You’ll notice I paid you a full share. I really hope you come back next year.” I told him I would. I was hooked, pun intended.

This is where my fishing career started.

I continued to fish salmon in the summer, and after high school I asked for a full time job on the boat. I was offered a gray cod fishing job. I took it and made pretty good money. After a few years of crab fishing — before it was cool and on TV — and longlining for black cod and halibut, I decided to step up and get my captain’s license.

Port of Edmonds has clean marina facilities and a wonderful town a short walk away. The port also offers a shuttle ride to downtown Edmonds for shopping, dining and entertainment.

QUICK ESCAPE

PICTURESQUE PORT OF EDMONDS EDMONDS HAS NOT LOST SIGHT OF WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

PORT OF EDMONDS 1 is centrally located between Seattle’s Elliott Bay to the south and Everett to the north. From the waterfront and marina, the view to the west across Puget Sound of the Kitsap Peninsula and Olympic Mountains is spectacular. The well-maintained marina, the centerpiece of the Edmonds waterfront, was rebuilt from 1996 to 1998 after it was destroyed during a major snowstorm. The picturesque seaside community, in its growth, hasn’t lost sight of what makes it unique. Edmonds residents are among the friendliest people you’ll ever meet.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL The marina has more than 500 feet of guest moorage available on a first-come, first-served basis on I, J and L docks in the center of the marina, east of the fuel dock.

If the guest moorage is full, the marina staff will direct you toward an unoccupied permanent moorage slip.

The marina offers 30- and 50-amp

power, water, garbage drops, restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, free Wi-Fi, a covered outdoor weather station and a pumpout. The fuel dock offers both gas and diesel, and there is a bait shop adjacent to the guest moorage docks.

After checking in, visiting boaters are presented with a tote bag stuffed with useful items such as maps of the area, discount coupons good at local merchants

and a directory of local facilities. Along with the giveaways, visitors will discover clean marina facilities and a wonderful town a short walk away. The port also offers a shuttle ride to downtown Edmonds for shopping, dining and entertainment.

THE WATERFRONT In addition to its facilities and hospitality, Port of Edmonds offers things that make a great urban boating destination.

Within the port area there are restaurants and coffee shops to enjoy. Anthony’s Home Port 2 overlooks the guest moorage and offers lunch and dinner daily and brunch on Sundays. At the north end of the marina is Arnies 3 , offering a good selection of seafood for lunch and dinner. Both restaurants provide scenic views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and the magnificent sunsets.

Edmonds also has a collection of beaches and waterfront parks, including the Off Leash Area Edmonds 4 , an off-leash area dedicated to dogs. Wildlife viewing and bird watching beckon in the Edmonds Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary 5 and trails.

There is a half-mile-long promenade along

SUMMER SHOWTIME

THE PREMIER BOATING SHOW FOR THE SAN DIEGO AREA IS BACK ON FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND.

THE SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL BOAT Show rolls into town this year on Father’s Day weekend, June 15-18. Now in its 14th year, the second year under the management of the Duncan McIntosh Co., the show continues to evolve toward a more attendee-friendly event, and the number of new boats in the show will be significant this year. Brokerage boats will be plentiful too, as usual, so the selection is sure to fit any boat shopper’s sweet spot.

Spanish Landing Park is the place to be for the show, adjacent to the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and right along North Harbor Drive across from the airport. More than 100 booths will be set up on land, and more than 150 boats will be in the water, including a few yachts making West Coast debuts, such as the Tiara Flybridge 44 (Silver Seas Yachts), the Monte Carlo Yachts 70 (50 North Yacht Sales) and — for the sailors — the Fontaine Pajot Ipanema 58 (Denison Yachts). The show will feature new yachts from brokers such as Alexander Marine, MarineMax, Emerald Pacific, South Coast

Yachts, Compass Point Yachts and more.

Expect to see several superyachts of 80 feet and more, too, at a pavilion sponsored by the U.S. Superyacht Association.

The show will basically give visitors an all-access pass to discover the boating lifestyle and a chance to shop the newest boats and marine accessories.

MORE THAN BOATS Attendees will find more than just boats and gear, however. A variety of food from the San Diego area’s most popular food trucks will be available to sate big appetites.

The San Diego International Boat Show will have all things boating related on display under typically sunny and warm California skies.

And if all the walking leads to tired feet, showgoers can take a break at the floating tiki bar or the Anchors & Ales Beer Garden, and they can enjoy live entertainment while they recharge.

Visitors who don’t mind getting their feet wet should stop by Try It Cove to try a variety of outdoor activities, including standup paddleboarding and kayaking.

Boating newbies and veterans alike will find something worth checking out at one of the many seminars that will be held during the show. Everyone can sharpen a skill or two and learn from all the experts, educators and adventurers. This is a great show for families and individuals who are new to the boating scene. Freedom Boat Club will be presenting intro classes, including Sailing 101 with SailTime San Diego and Powerboating 101 with Freedom Boat Club. These 90-minute hands-on intro classes are for new boaters and those who want to be safer and more confident on the water.

There will also be a Kid Zone with crafts, face painting and other activities, so the kids won’t get bored.

AROUND TOWN Spanish Landing Park is centrally CA-2

located just south of the San Diego airport. The park offers beautiful views of the area, but there are several other things worth a visit nearby. Take a stroll along the beautiful waterfront and barbecue and picnic areas and make a day of the show by exploring what San Diego has to offer.

The famous Balboa Park is located just east of the boat show, with beautiful landscaping and several museums and a zoo to visit, all in one beautiful park. In total there are 19 gardens, 17 museums, nine performing arts arenas, nine attractions and play spaces, and a sprawl of dog parks and trails. Visitors can even purchase an all-inclusive pass that allows them to see all the museums for one price. There are also shops and restaurants to enjoy and parking is free. Balboa Park is truly the crown jewel of San Diego.

A new addition to the area north of the boat show is Liberty Station. What was once an old naval base is now a community campus with eateries, schools, shops and special events with countless things to eat, see and hear. A special liquor license allows shoppers to imbibe while perusing the specialty food and craft vendor stalls, and there is live music every Sunday.

Either before or after the show, San Diego offers plenty of activities. Check out the tide pools near Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma (top) or Mission Bay (bottom), which has beaches, on-the-water fun, and plenty of restaurants and shops.

TAKE A HIKE There’s much more to hiking in San Diego than Potato Chip Rock — though that hike is cool too. The Bayside Trail near the Cabrillo National Monument is a great two-mile trail that features beautiful views of the bay and is great for walking, hiking, trail running and road biking in the Point Loma area.

There is also a secret sea cave informally known as the Cabrillo Sea Cave that, unfortunately, is known to have an entrance that is not suitable for the big and tall. Make sure you check the tides before visiting.

BEACH, PLEASE San Diego has 70 miles of coastline, so there are many beautiful beach options. The most popular beaches include Mission Beach, which has a boardwalk and lots of bike paths and seaside shops; Coronado Beach, which is great for families and couples, and its gentle waves are perfect for learning how to surf or boogie board; and for dog lovers, Ocean Beach is a renowned leash-free beach that has plenty of restaurants and fishing spots.

QUICK ESCAPE

BAY AREA BOAT STOP

REDWOOD CITY IS A LUXURIOUS AND WELCOMING RETREAT IN THE HEART OF SILICON VALLEY. BOATERS IN THE BAY AREA searching for something a little less city-like than San Francisco should give Redwood City a look. A coastal town with a couple of options for visiting boaters, Redwood City is quite different from the urban life about 27 miles north in San Francisco. Very much akin to Long Beach in southern California, Redwood City is the mellow happy medium of a city between urban San Francisco and suburban San Jose to the southeast, similar to how Long Beach is situated conveniently between Los Angeles and Orange County.

MOORING Redwood City is located deep into the San Francisco Bay, between the San Mateo Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge on the west side of the bay. Bair Island Marina 1 has boat slips and end-ties from 20 to 75 feet, 30- and 50-amp power, heated shower and laundry facilities, and a full-time staff, but boaters should call ahead, (650) 701-0382, to inquire about available guest spots. Another option is Westpoint

Harbor 2 to the northeast. This harbor is much more secluded than Bair Island, allowing for more immersion into the natural beauty that surrounds the harbor.

Reserve guest moorage by calling (650) 701-0545.

BRAGGING RIGHTS Redwood City has lived with the motto “Climate Best By Government Test” for many decades. The tagline is a nod to

For 100 years now, Redwood City’s motto has been “Climate Best By Government Test,” reflecting findings by U.S. and German climate surveys before WWI that called it the best climate in the world.

climate surveys that were conducted by the U.S. and German governments before World War I, which concluded that Redwood City has one of the best climates in the world, along with the Canary Islands and the Mediterranean Coast of North Africa. The ideal climate was defined as not too hot, not too cool and the perfect amount of precipitation.

THINGS TO DO There’s a lot to do in the rapidly growing downtown area — from boutique shops to a bevy of eateries and all the business services one would expect from a thriving suburban community. There are myriad shops for eclectic tastes, from vintage to modern housewares and clothing in what has become known to some as the “antimall” 3 for the assorted boutiques and family-owned grocery stores, hobby shops and global furniture stores. There are easily

JUNE QUESTIONS:

When it comes time to seek out a surveyor, how can I be sure he or she has my best interests in mind?

FOR AN ANSWER to

this question, we turn to the National Association of Marine Surveyors (NAMSGlobal) and its professional Code of Ethics. While a code of ethics is not a guarantee that everyone will adhere to it at all times, it is indicative of the type of message a group of professionals is subjected to regularly. We find the following list in the section called “Marine Surveyor Professional Conduct.”

These canons express the standards of professional conduct expected of NAMSGlobal members:

• Surveyors shall perform services only in their areas of their expertise.

where a potential conflict of interest exists or can be reasonably foreseen.

• Surveyors shall build their profes-

• Surveyors shall not take any position contrary to his own knowledge or opinion for any direct or indirect gain or its equivalent.

sional reputation on the merit of the service they provide.

• Surveyors shall continue their professional development throughout their careers and shall provide opportunities for the professional development of their associates.

• Surveyors shall disseminate professional knowledge in a truthful, objective manner for the benefit of the association and the profession.

• Surveyors shall not be engaged so

as to create conflicts of interest. No surveyor shall accept an assignment

• Surveyors shall not perform repairs to any vessel they have surveyed.

• Surveyors shall not accept any monetary gain dependent upon the sale of a surveyed vessel, the valuation placed on the vessel or for the referral of repair work.

• Surveyors shall, at all times, display

the highest standards of integrity and professional competence.

What are the snags that can trip up potential borrowers?

For an answer to this question, we turn to our May finance feature, which was a Q&A with Bill Otto, the cofounder of the National Marine Lenders Association.

He currently owns Lake Effect Financial Services, a Grandville, Mich.-based company he founded in 2008.

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 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 of tax returns. 
