FORMIDABLE FEATURES I

F THERE’S ONE thing that’s been driving the boat, so to speak, when it comes to making boat operation more appealing to a broader range of prospective boaters, it’s been technology. Now, technology itself isn’t just one thing. Not by a long shot. Boating technology can be touched, seen, felt, heard and smelled (or not smelled, in the case of new diesels vs. old ones). But it also works behind the scenes, not detected by any of our senses.

Technology’s sum is definitely greater than its parts.

One of our features this month, Advancement for All, deals with one of the best known and tangible facets of new boating technology: joysticks. Our writer, Chris Caswell, looks at 10 reasons joysticks have made such a huge impact on boating in the decade since Volvo Penta introduced them to a wider recreational audience.

And since joystick systems are no longer confined to pod-driven boats (or jetboats — Hinckley started using joysticks in the late 1990s), a wider range of boats and, therefore, boaters can enjoy their advantages. Turn to page 46 to find out more.

But it’s not just driving that has gotten easier.

Anyone who’s been on a new yacht recently has likely seen a couple of the things I’m alluding to. This month’s sea trials on pages 28 and 32 feature two yachts filled with such equipment. Multifunction displays, taking full advantage of NMEA2000 protocols, have become the do-it-all nerve centers for boat operators. Engines, cameras, stereo and entertainment systems, radars, depthfinders and more can all be integrated through an

4

MFD. Information from every region of the boat, no matter how big it is, can be viewed at the helm, or elsewhere if an MFD is installed, for example, in the owner’s stateroom.

Split-screen modes, all fully programmable, enable one unit to display engine info; the chartplotter; side, down or forward scanning images; and a movie. If there’s room for more than one MFD on the dash, well, you get the picture.

Digital switching is another newish advancement that saves time and effort. Fully programmable systems mean a boat owner can show up and push one button to fire up the MFD(s), the lights, the cameras and whatever else he has programmed to start on Start. Add in the fact that many systems now have app compatibility, and ease and functionality are taken off the boat too.

Hydraulic swim platforms, electric sunroofs and cockpit overhead extensions, remote driving stations, DSC VHF radios, AIS and more are other technologies that are making the boating experience easier and more appealing to current and future boaters. Separately, they are all worthy features on new boats. Taken together, as I’ve experienced them during recent sea trials, they represent the now and the future of boating.

anados is a Rome-based yacht builder, so it only makes sense that its latest yacht concept is called the 969 Coliseum, a 96-foot, 9-inch yacht that includes an on-deck master and either three or four staterooms belowdecks, depending on the layout chosen. A lot of gladiators — passengers, if you prefer — can be housed aboard this new yacht. And while the gladiatorial games of yore are long gone, passengers will be able to engage their inner water warrior, because the 969 Coliseum is set up with twin side garages — likely one for a tender and one for a PWC — and the swim platform can be rigged to carry another PWC. The yacht’s owners will feel like emperors in their spacious main-deck master stateroom. It is situated forward and includes a king-size berth, a split-level head, a sofa, and tinted windows to both sides and forward, for pleasant natural light. Plus, it has its own outdoor lounge, dining area and hot tub, accessed via a big window that slides open and that can be covered by a Bimini for comfort in the sun.

The main deck and the flybridge include seating areas that can accommodate everyone aboard easily, either indoors or out — or both. Bay windows in the main salon open, and the veranda, which holds the dining table and chairs, between the salon and the aft deck offers three options. Its rounded door panels can be secured aft, to place the dining area indoors; they can be secured forward, to place the dining area outdoors; or they can be secured to the side, to open the entire main deck into one social space.

Power options include standard twin MAN V-12s, Caterpillar C32 Acerts or MTU 12 V 2000 M96L engines, all of which promise to push the yacht to 26 knots and cruise at 23. Optional MTU 16V 2000 M96L diesels, with 2,600 hp each, should push the yacht to 29 knots.

While we called this a yacht concept, the hull molding is finished, and the other molds are soon to follow, so the concept is soon to be reality.

Heroism Honored

The newest National Security Cutter, Munro, was commissioned by the Coast Guard recently in Seattle. Commissioned in honor of the Coast Guard’s only Medal of Honor recipient, Signalman First Class Douglas A. Munro, the cutter pays tribute to the heroism Munro showed despite being mortally wounded on Guadalcanal while evacuating a detachment of 500 U.S. Marines who were under attack. Munro is the sixth National Security Cutter to be commissioned and the fourth to make its homeport on the West Coast, in Alameda, Calif.

BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

Mt. Tetakawi creates a spectacular backdrop for boats moored at San Carlos.

Gato & Toro Located 75 miles north of La Paz and 37 miles south of Puerto Escondido, the double cove of Gato & Toro at the foot of the dramatic Sierra La Giganta is less than a mile wide and difficult to spot from offshore.

Isla Santa Cruz is 11 miles offshore. My GPS approach position (25 degrees 18 minutes north, 110 degrees 56 minutes west) is just a quarter of a mile outside the middle of Gato and Toro.

The cove at Gato & Toro (also called Puerto Los Gatos) is like a water park just for visiting boaters and is remarkable for its spectacular geological scenery. Sandstone formations colored from pink to oxblood red seem to ooze horizontally and form a vast shoreline shelf in the north end, inviting climbing and diving. Gato cove was named by locals for a family of wild puma that used to inhabit a cave found on a 2-mile hike up the narrow northwest arroyo. Punta Cantil Colorado (Red Cliffs) at the north end of Gato cove provides good anchoring shelter in moderate north winds.

In the south end, El Toro Reef is a colonnade of black lava pillars that forms a small stepping-stone reef that stays just under the surface in all but the lowest tides — a fun place to snorkel. In moderate south winds, boats find shelter along the north face of Punta Botella, and a small shallow-draft boat might tuck behind El Toro Reef on a calm night.

SUMMER GETAWAYS IT’S POSSIBLE TO ENJOY MINI-CRUISES IN THE SEA OF CORTEZ WHILE STAYING CLOSE TO A HURRICANE HOLE.

A

S SUMMER DEEPENS, boaters in Mexico are shaping up their itineraries.

Those who are going to park their boat in one of the comfortable “hurricane hole” marinas for the summer (and stay aboard) will find it easy to join the marina scene, thanks to ample swimming pools, air-conditioned eateries and cruiser events from August to November.

In the Sea of Cortez, the most popular hurricane hole marinas are found at La Paz, Puerto Escondido, Puerto Penasco, San Carlos and Guaymas.

Depending on a boat’s capabilities, and if weather forecasts predict a big enough weather window, it is possible to hop quickly between these marinas.

Just be sure the marina has available slips. The really popular hurricane hole marinas sometimes fill up in late summer.

Yes, summering over in Mexico’s marinas is pretty nice. But to break the boredom, yatistas might consider exploring one or more remote anchorages — either as a multiday stop while en route to their next safety zone or as a loop out and back to their primary hurricane hole marina.

3 Trips Near Hurricane Holes

Gato & Toro, La Salina and the Found Coast are three quickly reachable summer getaways that are all near hurricane holes.

La Salina Bay

When the crowds get too thick inside Puerto Escondido’s hurricane hole marinas and adjacent anchorages, my favorite getaway is La Salina Bay on the east or far side of Isla Carmen. It’s 22 miles from 2 Puerto Escondido out to La Salina by way of Punta Baja on the Estero island’s south tip. Or from Loreto, La Salina is about 30 miles via Tastiota Isla Carmen’s north tip.

Bahia Colorado “We come out here for a week every once in a while,” said Pete Bahia San Pedro and Jeannie Steffano on their 48-foot motoryacht. Summer heat can get stifling inside Puerto Escondido’s landlocked bay, so the San Carlos Steffanos came out to La Salina for more breeze. “We love to walk Guaymas the big main beach every day. Along the walk east [toward Punta Perico] we’ve found several little reefs that are pristine and fun to snorkel. We have explored the ghost town and hiked the trail past the salt pond, and we fish right off our boat at anchor.”

La Salina is a commodious 2-mile-wide bay backed by a pleasant 1¾-mile crescent beach, and in front are a collapsed pier and a real ghost town. Formerly, natural salt evaporation ponds were worked by a community of 100 families who lived here.

Bags of salt were loaded on cargo ships at the pier, but it was all abandoned in 1982. Caretakers guard La Salina’s tiny church, 3 empty homes and ruined machinery — still private La Salina property. Call ahead on VHF Channel 16 for Loreto Isla Carmen permission to explore the ghost town.

Puerto Escondido A hunting lodge southwest of the ghost town seasonally accommodates hired hunters during 10-day hunts to thin the imported herd of desert Isla Santa Cruz big horn sheep. Well off from the stub of La 1 Gato and Toro Salina’s old pier, divers can explore two wrecks, Isla San Jose but visitors should stay off the pier itself and not snorkel beneath it, because it’s still collapsing.

La Salina is open to the south and east, so if a south swell begins rolling in, go around the north side of the island and switch to Dos Parillas or V-Cove or Puerto de la Lancha. Or head back to Found Coast La Paz the summer safety of Puerto Escondido.

The largest and most popular hurricane hole marina area in the Sea of Cortez is San Carlos–Guaymas, two adjacent ports on the Sonora side. Several thousand yachts safely Coast, rather than a single location, is the 35-mile coastline running north from San Carlos summer over here each year, either in a to Estero Tastiota.

of our week-and-a-half-long cruise. We woke this morning to misty clouds that clung to the evergreen-clad hillsides of the San Juan Islands, but now we are sitting on the back deck, Jimmy Buffet playing on the stereo in the background, a cold beverage in our hand as we watch another magnificent sunset close a wonderful day of boating. Whip-like strands of kelp are shepherded by the current and the warm breeze. Not a word is spoken as we absorb the experience.

IT IS THE FOURTH EVENING

Few cruising grounds can match Washington state’s San Juan Islands for their array of natural beauty, wildlife and idyllic boating conditions.

Living on the eastern edge of the islands in the small town of Anacortes, Arlene and I get the opportunity to cruise the islands regularly. And from Anacortes Marina, where we moor Easy Goin’, it takes only a few minutes of cruising to find ourselves in the protection of the islands.

The Islands

The San Juan Islands occupy approximately 450 square miles in the very northwest corner of the United States. They are situated off Washington state’s inland coast, north of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, west of the northwest mainland, east

In less than 85 miles in the San Juan Islands, boaters can enjoy 11 beautiful Washington State Marine Parks.

of Haro Strait and south of Boundary Pass. The protected channels between the islands are very scenic as they wind between rocky shores that host scattered homes and summer cabins tucked among the trees, their backdrop provided by glacier-peaked Mt. Baker, the snow-capped southern end of Vancouver Island and, depending on where one’s boat is, the northern end of the Olympic Mountains.

With the islands’ rugged beauty, unique wildlife, intriguing history and secluded anchorages, the San Juans are the Holy Grail for boaters from all over the world. The locals take for granted that we live in one of the most desirable cruising areas in the world. The 172 or so islands — some pretty tiny and only islets at low tide, and at other times considered navigational hazards — are in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, thus receiving less than 25 inches of precipitation annually, much less than the 37 and a half inches received by Seattle, 50 miles south.

The Parks

One of the great pleasures of cruising in the San Juans is the islands’ impressive selection of Washington State Marine Parks and how close they are to one another. In the past we have visited them all many times, but never all of them in one cruise. With that in mind, on a recent week-and-ahalf-long trip into the islands, we visited 11 out of the 13 parks — the parks at Doe and Pose islands are better suited for human- or wind-powered watercraft — and only logged 85 nautical miles under the boat’s hull.

We began our cruise with a short two-and-a-half-mile run east from our homeport.

Spencer Spit, once a gathering place for the local Salish Indians, is now a marine state park on the eastern shoreline of Lopez Island.

The island offers decent anchorage over sand and gravel in the north cove, but the 24-acre park is small and exposed to the north. Many boaters anchor here for a day visit or to soak their crab pots during the season. A nearly mile-long hiking trail leads around the perimeter of the island, and from April through May the wildflowers bloom and fill the tiny isle with color.

Clark Island

48°41’5” N, 122°45’5” W The following morning, next on the float plan was Clark Island. The 55-acre island is popular with and best suited for kayakers, who use its 15 campsites. There are nine mooring buoys and anchorage available, but the island lies in the intersection of Rosario Strait and Strait of Georgia, with a shipping channel adjacent, so it can be windy and rolly. While Clark Island is long and narrow, it does have extremely nice beaches with sand on the west side and smooth pea gravel on the east side.

The day of our visit the weather forecast had the winds increasing through the night, so we decided to take shelter at nearby Matia Island.

Matia Island

48°44’6” N, 122°50’5” W Matia Island, one of the 83 islands protected within the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, is a quiet 145-acre island co-managed by Washington State Parks and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Five acres of Rolf Cove are available to boaters as a marine park, but there is a limit of four boats at a time, to protect the refuge, which makes it difficult to get access during the busy summer season. The cove has two buoys and a 64-foot dock. Due to the intense swirling currents that run through the cove and foul the bottom, it is not advisable to anchor here.

A loop trail — no pets allowed — meanders along the perimeter of the island, and there are massive trees on display. The trail passes the site of Civil War veteran Elvin H. Smith’s cabin. The famed Hermit of Matia lived all alone here from 1892 until 1921.

islets form the horseshoe-shaped, 564-acre park, which offers 640 feet of docks in Fossil Bay, 60 campsites, 48 buoys and

bays with excellent anchorage. Ten miles of well-marked trails crisscross the island and there are miles of exquisite sandstone shoreline.

Renowned for its spectacular sunsets and warm-water swimming, protected Shallow Bay provides a peaceful setting.

The bay’s attractions include three sand beaches, good crabbing, and a magnificent shoreline of eroded sandstone, caves and body-size hollows. China Rock is on the northeast side of the bay.

Echo Bay on the east side of the island offers the largest anchorage and a breathtaking view of Mt. Baker and its snowcapped peak set against a deep blue sky.

Visiting boaters need to use caution in the waters around the park. “Sucia” is a Spanish word meaning foul or dirty. It refers to the numerous rocks and reefs that surround the island.

The only real protected moorage around Patos Island is tucked behind the western tip of the 207-acre island in Active Cove. Moorage is limited to two mooring buoys, and the cove can be rolly as a result of currents and passing ships in Boundary Pass. Anchoring in the cove is not suggested, because there is little room over a poor-holding bottom. The entry to the cove is narrow, shallow and has some large rocks.

The cove has all the ingredients for cruisers looking to get away from it all — spectacular sunsets, magnificent sandstone sculptures, a gently sloping pea-gravel beach, and a few campsites with picnic tables and fire rings. There is a one-and-a-half-mile loop trail to roam, a lighthouse to visit (with tours on most weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day), and views of the Canadian Gulf Islands and Mt. Baker.

Moorage Fees

All boaters — moored to a state marine park dock, buoy or linear moorage — are required to self-register on shore and pay moorage fees, which are $0.70/foot on a dock and $13/night on a mooring buoy.

The annual moorage permit fee is $5/foot, with a minimum of $60. Boat owners who moor at docks, floats and buoys multiple nights a year can save money by purchasing an annual moorage permit, which is valid Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. However, boats larger than 45 feet are not allowed to moor on buoys, only at the docks and linear moorage. Boaters also need to respect rafting limits posted on mooring buoys. Boats rafted to another boat that’s on a park facility must also pay the appropriate fee.

Annual moorage permits are available online, at any Washington State Marine Park or at state parks headquarters in Olympia.

If You Plan to Visit Take some time to get acquainted with the San Juan Islands before a visit. Check out the following charts, channels and websites: • Washington State Parks, parks.wa.gov • NOAA Charts 18421, 18424, 18427, 18428, 18430, 18431, 18432 and 18433 • VHF Weather, Channels 1 and 4 • Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, wdfw.wa.gov

Stuart Island

48°40’3” N, 123°11’6” W While Stuart Island’s 433-acre state park is bordered by private lands, visiting boaters do have access to two excellent harbors, Reid and Prevost. Each offers protected anchorages with numerous mooring buoys, linear moorage and park docks. Reid Harbor is half a mile long, contains no navigational hazards and offers good holding over a mud bottom. Prevost Harbor’s irregular shape and hazards on approach and in the harbor make for a more challenging anchorage, so consult the charts. On no occasion should boaters enter the harbor from the east end of Satellite Island. The only safe entrance is from the west end of Satellite Island; stay in the middle of the channel.

The park offers 18 campsites, and three and a half miles of hiking trails. A county road offers a longer walk, including a lengthy jaunt to the historic Turn Point Lighthouse. Built in 1893, the lighthouse offers the perfect spot to enjoy a picnic and look for orcas.

The island is home to the historic Stuart Island School, a one-room schoolhouse that had two students in 2008 but closed its doors in 2013. Be sure to take a self-guided tour of the school and museum.

There are two anchorage/moorage areas on the island. The north cove, with 128 feet N o.

of dock and four mooring buoys, is the most popular, probably because the south cove’s buoys can be a bit unsettled due to boat traffic. The southern moorage settles in the evening and remains calm until morning.

Visitors need to study the charts well before their visit. There is a marked reef at the northeast entrance to the north cove and several unmarked but charted rocks along the southeast shore.

Besides four miles of hiking trails with excellent views, the island also has water, toilet facilities, beaches, campsites and good landing areas for kayakers. Signs of a 100-mph wind storm that hit the island can still be seen, nearly 30 years later.

The sandy spit, with picnic tables and fire rings, is a great relaxation and play area.

The beach gradually tapers off, so the truly bold and young can easily enjoy playing in the water.

The lagoon and saltwater marsh make up two-thirds of the spit, which is home to a large variety of migrating birds. Two miles of hiking trails wend through the area.

Spencer Spit was a gathering place for the Salish Indians of the area, who used it as a summer camp to collect and preserve shellfish and herring. The spit and uplands were homesteaded in the mid-1800s. The cabin out on the spit was originally built by Theodore Spencer, the park’s namesake.

four mooring buoys, and the bay has some anchoring over a good-holding bottom.

The four campsites on the island are reserved for visitors arriving by human- or wind-powered watercraft. Be sure to soak a crab trap, or a few, in Blind Bay; it is closed to commercial crabbing, so recreational boaters have better odds of a good catch.

Turn Island

48°32’2” N, 122°58’3” W Practically a stone’s throw from Friday Harbor, the entire 35-acre island is a marine park with three mooring buoys, 12 waterfront campsites, sand and pebble beaches, and a scenic trail around the island’s perimeter. The island comprises a portion of the San Juan Wildlife Refuge, so visitors are asked to stay on the trail and not wander across the island.

James Island

48°30’5” N, 122°46’2” W This beautiful 113-acre island on Rosario Strait can be difficult to access for visiting boaters. The west-side cove has a pier and a dock, but the currents can make docking problematic. Poor holding combined with the currents mean anchoring is not recommended. There are really no other anchorages except for the east side, which has four mooring buoys. It is open to Rosario Strait, so weather or commercial traffic can cause an uncomfortable visit.

A large portion of the island has been designated a Natural Forest Area and is closed to access, except for designated recreational areas. The park offers 13 campsites at three locations and one and a half miles of high bluff trails with sweeping views of the Cascade Mountains, Rosario Strait and the west cove moorage.

The park offers good anchorage, along with 11 mooring buoys and some of the best crabbing and clamming in the islands.

compass care // grid’s rant

SET IT STRAIGHT MAKE SURE THE MAGNETIC

COMPASS IS READY WHEN NEEDED.

BY DEANE HISLOP

W

HILE THE CONGA line of new electronics jockeying for position at a boat’s helm

may seem endless at times, prudent boaters will always reserve space for a magnetic compass. The humble compass often takes a backseat to modern navigational gear, but it still remains the only piece of equipment that shows direction when there’s a total loss of onboard power.

MOUNTING OPTIONS Compasses come in a variety of mounting styles. The bracket-mount style of compass comes with a removable bracket that is bolted or screwed into the mounting surface where the compass will be placed. The bracket is adjustable, so the surface can be horizontal, vertical or angled. Bracket-mounted compasses are the simplest to install, but they’re also less stable than units installed using cutouts in the helm or bulkhead.

Surface-mounted units are easy to install. They come with a mounting base that can be glued, bolted or screwed to any flat, horizontal location. Flush-mounted units are similar to surface-mounted units, but they require a cutout in the console or mounting area, which must be horizontal, and that cutout accepts the body of the compass, allowing it to sit flush.

Bulkhead-mounted units are mounted directly to a vessel’s bulkhead, and like the flush-mounted compasses, they require a cutout to accept the body of the unit, though in this case it is vertically oriented. Dash-mounted compasses are a space-saving option for

smaller powerboats with a vertical console.

They are similar to bulkhead-mounted compasses but much smaller, allowing them to be mounted at the helm, much like console gauges.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS When selecting a location for a compass, ensure the unit will be level and aligned parallel with the vessel’s centerline. It must be free from deviation — the unintended effect of electrical or magnetic items located near your compass — or located where it can be compensated for.

Check proper orientation by temporarily mounting the compass at the chosen location and then sight along the unit’s lubber lines and center pin, to verify that they line up properly with the fore-aft line of the vessel.

THEEXPERTS Next, check the area around the temporary installation for potential sources of deviation. Stereo speakers are common troublemakers due to their large magnets, but any metal item or electronics within six

That’s why every compass requires a deviation card. to eight feet, sometimes farther, can cause problems. Be sure to test the effects of the electrical or electronic equipment when it is in both the on and off position. The same goes for the engine. Check the compass while it is off, idling and at various rpm.

COMPENSATION The steps outlined so far will help reduce the effects of deviation, but getting rid of all magnetic influence is impossible. That’s

why every compass requires a deviation card that indicates how many degrees have to be added or subtracted from the boat’s heading in order to obtain the correct magnetic reading. A deviation card addresses deviation as well as variation, which is the difference between magnetic and geographical poles.

SWINGING THE COMPASS Many methods have been developed to “swing the compass,” which means to verify its accuracy. The simplest one I’ve seen is listed on the Ritchie Navigation website.

To ensure accuracy on all headings, check for deviation every 30 degrees and record any deviation on a deviation card. Ritchie, a compass manufacturer, recommends checking at the start of each boating season for changes in deviation.

If you feel that the deviation on your boat is of an unusual nature, the services of a professional compass adjuster will be a wise investment. For more information, visit ritchienavigation.com.

READER SAYS WHAT?

More to the Story

 Mike Werling, you mentioned the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in your [February] editorial. I would be the last to say we are not culpable in contributing to the this situation. However, I would like to point out that in my travels of the Pacific region I have been aghast at the disregard with which many Pacific islanders treat their home waters. The condition is twofold: lack of landfill space and the fact that most of their processed goods come in plastic packaging. I think it is unfair to point a finger at the U.S. or Canada as a major contributor to this situation. In fact I have found that most residents of both countries would rather have an arm cut off than sully their cruising grounds. But that’s just my opinion.

Compact Dinghies

 In the January issue of Sea, Gregg Mansfield wrote an article entitled “Dinghies Done Right” that highlighted nine improvements to inflatables. One improvement that he forgot to mention was the Folding RIB, which have just become available in the U.S. through Four Seas in Santa Ana, Calif. While wildly popular throughout Europe, these “FRIBs” can fold in thirds, come in five sizes from 9 to 15 feet, and transform a rigid hull to the size of a large suitcase when not in use. Mansfield mentions that space is at a premium on any sized vessel, and the newest solution to this constant battle for space is a RIB that stows away belowdecks yet, while inflated, passes Category C ratings, which are tested two to three miles offshore in 6-foot seas.

THEEXPERTS GRINDING GRID’S GEARS

BOATING MONOGAMY

A

WHILE BACK I was watching “Law and Order” (not one of the spinoffs, but the real McCoy — to make an excellent pun for those who watched it). A young couple sat outside a marriage counselor’s door, waiting their turn. The guy was digging his grave really deep. “The difference between men and women,” he said, “is that men want one thing from many women; women want many things from one man.” They push the door open and, of course, the counselor has been murdered.

If you take that same statement and apply it to boating, there’s really very little difference, except it’s humans vs. boats.

If you put a “mind” to a boat, all it wants to do is take you where you’re going and back. “Going boating” is half the equation; returning is the balance.

The flip side is this: Humans want many things from one boat. Not long ago I wrote of my $800 boat, a deal if I ever made one. It morphed all the way to an $800 boat (no typo) via swaps, trades, etc., but our use of it in a decade was limited to twice, while the boat languished through my work season and winter, when water did its down and dirty and rotted the transom and stringers, turning a gorgeous 19-foot Chesapeake with destroyer-like lines into salvage. I then wrote in anguish of how that boat was part of The Nurse and me, and how could I ever go boating again? Easy: 10 minutes later I owned a 19-foot Wellcraft CCF. The Chesapeake was a slender hull, designed to get to the fish first. There was a cooler console seat, life-jacket storage under the console, an anchor locker and that was it. You could want anything you wanted, but what you saw is what you got.

The Wellcraft, nicely built, representative of a design era, seems to represent the vision of someone from marketing coming to the construction division and saying, “We’ve taken a national survey.

Can you build this?” (One man wants a

lot of things from one boat.) It has a cooler console seat; a little stowage under the console; an anchor locker; belowdecks storage that currently holds a paddle that’s been there for years and ain’t comin’ out without surgery; a livewell that works, but since I don’t fish that feature is moot; and a seat cushion over the livewell, effectively making it a bidet, probably replacing the

need for a portable toilet. There’s room for a bunk on the front deck if you sleep in the fetal position.

My take on it? I hope it’s of the mind to take us boating — and back. That’s all I want. One man, one boat, one thing.

Boating monogamy if you will. I’ll keep you posted when I find out if the boat and I agree.

4800 SPORT YACHT THE LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY AND PROPULSION COMBINE WITH STYLE AND STRENGTH.

S

OUTHERN CALIFORNIA’S MAY gray is in full effect on test day, but our test boat, the

Riviera 4800 Sport Yacht, is sky(ish) blue — Stars and Stripes blue, to be precise — and its name lifts my spirits even more: Mood Adjustor. Any day spent on a boat instead of at the desk is a mood adjustor, so spending just such a day on a vessel with stylish, sleek lines and an attitude-elevating name is a bonus.

While the technical rundown I am about to receive proves interesting and noteworthy, I am not even off the swim platform — hydraulic, to lower into the water — before the first feature of note appears. Under a fully finished lid on the transom is a barbecue center with a grill, a stainless backsplash and LED lighting.

Beneath that, behind a beautifully integrated transom door that lifts electrically, is the tender garage, which can fit a 2.7-meter dinghy (roughly 8 feet, 8 inches) and includes a winch.

Up two steps to either side of the transom is the cockpit, which features a bench settee aft, an L-shaped settee to starboard and a wet bar with a refrigerator, an ice-maker and a sink to port. Sidedecks lead to the bow where a double sun lounge with adjustable headrests beckons — just not on test day. Speakers and cupholders add to the bow’s relaxation vibe.

INSIDE SCOOP The aft bulkhead is all glass, and windows pretty much wrap around the main cabin, so plenty of natural light gets in. The center third of the bulkhead is a door that slides to port, and the upper half of the starboard third of the bulkhead swings outward and secures to the hardtop.

With the door and window open, the main deck is one space from the transom to the helm station. Open the large sunroof and the area feels like outdoor space.

The galley is immediately to port. The

C-shaped countertop holds a two-burner stovetop and a sink. Underneath are drawers, a convection/microwave oven, and refrigerator/freezer drawers, and above are cabinets. Its location is ideal for serving food to diners at the C-shaped dinette settee with room for four or five opposite the galley or at the settees in the cockpit.

BOUNTY BELOW At the bottom of the centerline steps is an atrium that gets tons of natural light from the windshield overhead. Immediately to port is a head that serves the second stateroom and as the day head. It includes a separate shower stall and a linen closet with room for the optional washer/dryer unit. To starboard is a five-person settee that can convert to a berth. A TV occupies a wall opposite the settee.

Aft, at about amidships, is the second stateroom, which has an unusual layout. To the left upon entering is a hanging locker, and a step past that is a berth that runs along the hull side. Peek around the corner, however, to port, and one finds two more single berths running athwartships. They can be moved together to form an almostqueen-size bed. It’s an interesting layout, and one that kids will love.

The master stateroom is forward, its island queen berth situated on the centerline. An overhead hatch and hull windows ensure natural light enters the space. A cedar-lined hanging locker sits to starboard, and a cedar-lined storage

The en suite head includes a basin sink on a vanity top that has storage above and below, a vacuum-flush toilet and a glass-enclosed full-height shower stall.

TOTAL CONTROL Twin captain’s chairs front a portside helm station that is stylish and well laid out. Black leather, to match the chairs, covers most of the surfaces, and everything important is close at hand. Twin 17-inch Volvo Glass Bridge displays dominate the upper face of the dash.

Just left of the steering wheel, on a narrow, flat extension of the dash that runs along the bulkhead, are the engine throttles, the joystick and the Garmin Remote Input Device (GRID), which controls the MFDs remotely (they use a Garmin interface), so the captain doesn’t have to give up his comfortable position in the chair to touch the screens.

Our test boat has a FLIR camera system with four cameras aboard, the M400 models that are military grade, which Emerald Pacific Yachts’ Will MacIntyre demonstrates for me. They are crystal clear in day mode, and the zoom is impressive, reaching across the harbor without losing too much resolution, and the thermal night-vision mode is excellent as always. It’s what Flir is known for.

One feature our test boat has that is becoming more popular on a range of boats

is a Seakeeper 5 gyro stabilizer. We had to create our own waves to really give it a test, but it proved its value during several before-and-after tests on San Diego Bay. The boat went from rolling with the waves to solidly level in about one and a half rolls.

NUMBERS Once clear of Americas Cup Harbor’s breakwater, we cranked up the twin 600 hp Volvo Penta D8 diesels, a newer engine from Volvo that is aimed at boats in the 50- to 55-foot range, and got to business.

We reached a top speed of 33.8 knots at the engines’ wide-open throttle of 3100 rpm.

The diesels, connected to IPS pod drives, were burning 63 gph at top speed. At 2600 rpm, the 4800 SY was cruising along at 24.7 knots and burning 44 gph, while 2800 rpm yielded 27.7 mph and 51 gph.

As is the case with Volvo engines connected to pod drives, fuel efficiency is remarkably consistent across the top 20 percent or so of the rpm range. Data from

company testing, which were quite similar to the numbers we gathered, show a cruising range of 253 miles to 277 miles (based on 90 percent of usable fuel) between 2500 and 3100 rpm, with a gallons-per-mile burn of 1.8 to 2.0. If an owner really needed to stretch his range for a particular leg of a trip and didn’t mind keeping pace with the sailboats, he could reach just beyond 1,000 miles at 7 knots, and more than 1,700 at 5 knots. Now, with a boat that can zip along at 34 knots, that kind of pace isn’t the norm, but it’s good to know the capability is there.

DRIVING The sporty steering wheel makes driving the 4800 SY a breeze. During hard-over turns, I’m able to control things with just a finger — not something I’d recommend but try just to gauge how easy it is to turn the wheel — and the boat leans into the turns like it’s in a hurry to veer off sharply before the cops show up, though we are certainly

doing nothing wrong. Even as we are looking at the water in the side windows during a turn, the yacht feels stable and balanced.

the Volvo Dynamic Positioning System activated. The 4800 doesn’t rock and doesn’t leave a very small circle the DPS is married to at this point. The station-keeping capability of the system has improved in the decade of its existence. Later, in the harbor, we set the DPS again, and what I notice is how quiet and smooth the system is. Granted, it’s not being tested much at this point, but on IPS boats from several years ago, the actions of the pods were more sudden and stronger, even for small movements. That has been ironed out in the latest iterations.

With the 4800 Sport Yacht, Riviera continues its expansion within the sport yacht segment specifically — it’s the fourth model in that line, after the 6000, 5400 and 3600 — and the luxury yacht space in general. Aimed at coastal cruising couples or families with a couple of kids, the 4800 SY takes advantage of the latest in technology and propulsion while delivering style and the strength Riviera is known for.

REGAL 42 FLY

WHO KNEW A GREAT PACIFIC NORTHWEST BOAT WOULD BE DESIGNED AND BUILT IN FLORIDA?

T

HE 2017 42 Fly is a brand new vessel in the Regal lineup. Its thoroughly crisp, modern design, complete with expansive hull windows and a large flybridge, is not drawn at the expense of practicality. The cabin roof extends aft to protect the cockpit in case of rainy weather or blazing sun. The same overhang makes fishing in the rain tolerable. It also means that with the aft deckhouse doors fully open, everyone on board can move seamlessly from inside to outside.

The galley is located at the aft of the deckhouse, opposite the sizable dinette settee and immediately aft of the doublewide helm seat, so meals can be prepared, and served, easily, whether dining is to be inside or alfresco on the back deck.

INSIDE SCOOP The interior spaces in this new Regal are made for real people. The two beautifully appointed staterooms have plenty of space for a slightly “husky,” average-height 200-pounder like myself to move around.

Many 50-foot boats don’t provide the same space. The heads and shower are also comfortably fitted for adults sized like me.

The fit-and-finish throughout the vessel is excellent and all equipment is top of the line, much like on larger yachts. In fact, the sound and entertainment systems are the same make as the ones on the new Ocean Alexander 70, as are the electronics, the engines and the pod drives. Sea Grass mats — soft under foot, stain resistant and rot proof — also lend a high-end feel.

Regal designers obviously know boats can never have enough storage, and the 42 Fly benefits from that knowledge. There’s storage and stowage everywhere, from the forward deck lockers for bumpers

TESTER’S OPINION

The flybridge is what distinguishes the 42 Fly from its 42 Coupe stable mates.

and lines to a covered anchor winch with fixed snubber cleats to aft deck lockers for almost anything. There’s plenty of space under the cockpit seating for life jackets and other items.

Each of the staterooms has plenty of storage, and the aft one is a full-beam space that features twin beds that can be converted to a single king. It also features a cedar-lined armoire with drawer storage under. Even the upholstered headboards have storage built in and the dinette settee has built in storage under.

The galley, featuring easily cleaned, solid countertops, boasts a stainless sink, a convection oven and a drawer-style refrigerator and freezer. Instead of the lower galley, owners can opt to add a second head, which we figure will be a popular option, since there is a galley on the main deck.

GREAT OUTDOORS The flybridge is what distinguishes the 42 Fly from its 42 Coupe stable mates. It’s open to the elements and provides a great view all around. The doublewide captain’s seat fronts a starboard helm station, and a companion seat is to port. A large cushion stretches from the helm to the port side, and the companion seat folds flat to join with the

• Visibility is excellent all around and truly spectacular from the flybridge.

It’s one of those rare boats that is designed and built for fishing, cruising and entertaining — a true triple threat.

The fit-and-finish throughout the yacht is excellent, and the headroom throughout will accommodate all but the tallest passengers.

Regal’s long history of boat building shows itself in the wood, leather and stone work, while the latest technology dominates at the helm.

cushion and create a large lounge. Aft is an L-shaped settee with a table. A Bimini top can be deployed to provide shade.

On the bow is an interesting sunning feature that includes four rows of cushions in a two-three-two-one layout. All can lay flat to create a sun bed. The two cushions at the head can prop up to create a sun lounge, and the two in the third row can prop up to become backrests, turning the forward single cushion into a seat bottom for up to three people.

UNDERWAY With staff from Seattle’s Alexander Marine on board and at the helm, we fired up the twin Volvo Penta D6, six-cylinder, 435 hp engines, which responded instantly without smoking, hunting or clattering. The computer-controlled, common-rail injector system worked perfectly. These engines weigh about 1,450 pounds each, and the block and heads are cast iron, ensuring long life if they are serviced normally. The seven main bearing crank adds to that longevity and contributes to the engine’s very smooth running.

Using the joystick control we easily moved through the crowded docking area and into the fairway. The control system was very precise, an important feature in ever more crowded marinas. At 1000 rpm the 42 Fly moved along at 6.2 knots, well under the 7 knot speed limit in the area.

Total fuel burn was 1.7 gph, delivering 3.6 nmpg, excellent mileage, and our noise meter registered 66 decibels. A normal conversation is 70.

At 1500 rpm we moved along at 8.5 knots, burning 6.2 gph, yielding 1.33 mpg. When we tapped the throttles up to 2000 revs, boat speed jumped to 9.9 knots and fuel burn was 13 gph. Advancing the throttle to 2500 revs resulted in a speed of 16 knots and a fuel burn of 22 gph. Wideopen throttle on our test boat, 3620 revs, pushed fuel burn to 48 gph and speed to 32.6 knots.

These engines can cruise all day long at 3030 rpm, where speed on test day was 24.5

What Makes a Great PNW Boat?

MANY YEARS AGO a group of serious boaters and fishermen were sitting in a pub on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, celebrating a good day on the water.

After a few beers we started to discuss, and sketch on napkins, the “perfect” boat for the West Coast. It had to be no more than 42 feet long, since that was the maximum length the marine railways in the smaller communities up and down the coast could haul. These were the days before the widespread use of Travelifts. It should have two staterooms and two heads, great visibility and an open layout.

A good-sized command bridge was on the list, as was the ability to move quickly onto the back deck from inside when fishing. We all believed in being warm and dry until the reels started screaming! The vessel had to be able to operate efficiently at speeds in the 5 knot range as it poked around in the reefs and rock piles tracking fish.

Finally, after a few more beers we decided to call it a night. As we got up from the tables, one of the guys said, wistfully, “It would be nice to have a boat like that and also be able to cruise along at 20 knots.” We all laughed and lamented that would never happen. Well it has. The 2017 Regal 42 Fly is the boat fi lls the bill.

knots and fuel burn was 29 gph. All fuel consumption information came from the engines’ onboard computers, and the speeds were measured on an independent GPS. During our test, two things stood out.

The first was expected. This new Regal

responded precisely and smartly to the helm at any speed, even when moving dead slow, something that is not always the case with other boats. The second thing was the relative quiet of the boat even at WOT. My noise meter is one used by Occupational Health and Safety officers worldwide, so I know the meter works.

Our test boat hull was solid fiberglass topped by a cored deck. The resin was applied by an infusion process, which results in relatively lightweight but very strong hulls. The downside of lightweight hulls is that they are usually louder, since there is less mass to absorb vibration and pounding. My meter did not show more noise. A phone call to Regal’s engineering department led to a helpful nugget of info: The builder includes sound-deadening material in its hull laminate. It works.

Our test boat was equipped with trim tabs and a Seakeeper 5 gyro stabilizer system. We had them in “neutral” during our test, and the results showed the new

42 is designed to operate comfortably and safely without either system activated.

THE WRAP The new Regal 42 Fly is an excellent vessel by a builder that has been building well-respected boats for almost half a century. The selection of Alexander Marine — seller of the iconic Ocean Alexander brand — as a dealer was an excellent move

by Regal, giving Alexander Marine another top-end product to go with its OA models.

The vessel handles very well and is equally at home poking around the local reefs and rock piles while fishing or running at high speed to escape a storm front. When tracking fish at low speeds, the twin Volvos sip fuel, getting 3.6 mpg.

Visibility is excellent all around and truly spectacular from the flybridge. It’s one of those rare boats that is designed and built for fishing, cruising and entertaining — a true triple threat. This new Regal is so full of features a single test cannot do it justice.

NIMBUS 365 COUPE

A SWEDISH BUILDER COOKS UP A WEST COASTWORTHY FAMILY COASTAL CRUISER.

O

NE’S FIRST LOOK at the Nimbus 365 Coupe might cause one to take a second look and wonder if his eyes are deceiving him. The deckhouse of the boat is offset, to create a wide sidedeck on the starboard side and none to port. Nimbus calls it the side-walk design concept and claims it makes maximum use of the interior space. And to facilitate the captain’s access to the sidedeck and its path forward and aft, Nimbus designers fashioned a flush sliding door next to the helm station.



The aft deck is spacious and social, with an L-shaped settee to port with a table. Through a large sliding door is the salon and galley. Windows encircle the deckhouse, so natural light is abundant. Plus, there are windows in the hardtop to allow in even more light. Two of the window panes slide open electrically, lending the interior space an outdoor feel when the weather is right. A C-shaped settee has room for six people and wraps around a dining table. The galley sits to port, immediately aft of the helm chair.

At the helm, the captain has a Simrad NSS evo2 multifunction display at his disposal.

The easy-to-use 12-inch MFD functions as the nerve center of the boat. On the starboard side of the dash is the engine control, which will be a single or a double, depending on the engine package the owner chooses. Volvo Penta D4 and D6 diesels — singles of 260, 370 and 435 hp and twins of 225, 260 and 300 hp — power the near-38-footer, delivering a top speed from 22 to 32 knots.

Two cabins belowdecks provide sleeping space for four people, and the single head includes a sink, a toilet and a separate shower stall.

The Nimbus 365 Coupe checks many family cruising boxes. Its cockpit is large, sociable and fishable, and its hardtop extends over most of the cockpit. The main cabin is bright, well ventilated thanks to the sunroof, and sociable. Belowdecks has room for the parents and a couple of kids to sleep; plus, the dinette can accommodate adaptable sleepers. And the Nimbus literature doesn’t highlight this, but we’re guessing some watersports are possible with the addition of a ski tow bar.

Steering System

5 Areas to Inspect The best prevention is preparation. Keeping your boat’s equipment in good working order may stave off catastrophe as well as discomfort. Annual and/ or pre-departure inspections of certain areas and systems will save money and headaches.

1. Ground Tackle

Spend some time on the bow and inspect what could be your cheapest insurance: the ground tackle and windlass. Look at the top and bottom of the bow roller(s). Do they turn? Are there any cracks in the surrounding structure? Check the anchor shackle to see if it’s still wired shut, and inspect the swivel to make sure it turns freely. Test the windlass. Take off the cover, check the pawls, lubricate necessary points and visually inspect the wire connections.

Inspect the chain and its connection to the boat. If the exposed end looks sketchy, consider cutting off a few feet. If you carry a stern anchor, dig it out of the lazarette and check it too. that’s a rarity on powerboats built elsewhere, so carry a portable manual pump or have plenty of buckets.

3/Bilge Pumps

A boat is built of pumps — fresh water, salt water, engine, A/C and others — but none are more critical than bilge pumps.

Check to make sure the bilge pumps are clean, in good operation and have working alarm circuits. Trace the wiring, test the float switches and carry a couple of spare pumps and switches. European boats typically include manual bilge pumps, but

4/Engine Room

The engine room will take the longest to inspect, because there are so many systems to review. Start with hoses, which should be double-clamped. Wipe them and smell the rag to check for leaks (good fire prevention). Test the tension on the

There are few quick fixes for a steering failure on a powerboat, so prevention is key. Inspect the condition of steering cables and their connections. Top up steering/ hydraulic fluids. Take a look at the rudders and their posts (if the boat’s hauled out), and if the boat has pod drives, get a professional review before a long trip. Sailboats have manual emergency tillers, but few mechanical jury-rigs can handle the torque on large powerboats, so test the autopilot, because in emergencies, you may be able to steer with it. belts, the condition of the diesel fuel (add treatment if necessary), and look for loose or corroded wire connections. Test alarms and shut-down systems on the genset and the engines. Check the condition of the raw-water strainer, baskets and gaskets.

Make a list of all necessary fluids, including steering, transmission, stabilizer, engine oil and coolant, refrigerant, and whatever else.

Flush the cooling system and inspect or preventatively replace impellers.

Set aside time for the batteries and switches. Inspect the terminals and posts for corrosion and clean them. Make sure the batteries are secured and can’t move.

Top them up with distilled water if they are wet cells. Check the shore-power cord and inlet, inspect all wiring for chafe and count your supply of spare fuses.

In reviewing your fire plan, learn how many and what kind of fire extinguishers are required by the Coast Guard for your class of vessel, and then double that number. Check the extinguisher expiration dates and pressures annually. Instruct all SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2017

5 POINTS OF EXTRA CREDIT

If you’re going the extra mile (both in distance traveled and effort expended) consider these five actions to enhance your safety and give you greater peace of mind.

1.

GET TRAINING IN BASIC MEDICAL CARE All crew should have basic medical training. You can opt for one-day classes in CPR and First Aid from the American Red Cross, the American Heart Association or a slew of independent providers. However, be mindful of the fact that such classes are geared toward urban environments where emergency medical services (EMS) are expected to arrive within 10 minutes, which is not the case on a vessel that is at sea.

For long-distance voyages, all crew (usually both parties of a couple) should consider taking a wilderness survival course.

This training is significantly more expensive and may require a week of time. Ask about classes that focus specifically on survival-at-sea tactics, because you may need to be your own paramedic.

2.

CARRY SUPPLEMENTAL TRACKING & COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT GPS-enabled tracking devices such as SPOT or 42

Delorme’s inReach are affordable position locating and basic communication devices for casual check-ins or SOS messaging. You can send canned messages on

crew in their use — pull the pin and aim at the base of the flames. Keep automatic engine-room suppression systems in good order. A fire blanket near the galley may help, as will baking soda for small fires. Put fresh batteries in the smoke detectors.

5/Through-hulls

Finally, you already have large holes in the boat that need inspecting. Failed through-hull fittings can spell disaster, so check and/or replace

6 Must-Have Items A comprehensive list of onboard safety items can get long, and much of it will be dictated by Coast Guard rules. But besides the mandatory fire extinguishers and life jackets, and the obvious fixed VHF radio and GPS chartplotter, here are other must-have items you’ll want aboard.

1/Medical Kit

Adventure Medical Kits (sometimes private labeled by West Marine) provide comprehensive and easy-to-use medical supplies that come with a well-organized manual for mountaineering and marine emergencies. Read the contents list before springing for a larger, more expensive kit. For longer voyages, your doctor may put together a customized kit, including personal medicines that should be packed with their original prescriptions, especially if you’re crossing borders. If you or one of the crew has a tricky ticker, consider adding an automated external defibrillator (AED). Most models now are under $1,000 and require little training to use.

2/EPIRB and PLBs

Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) and Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) help locate a vessel or a crewmember in distress.

These devices interface with the worldwide service of COSPASSSARSAT, the international satellite system for search and rescue (SAR). Registration is free and there is no subscription or annual fee for either. EPIRBs operate on 406 MHz, are waterproof and they float, and some even have a built-in GPS, making them GEPIRBs. They are registered to the vessel. PLBs, on the other hand, are registered to a person.

They function much like an EPIRB but are about the size of a smartphone and are usually

them during the next haulout; it’s good preventive maintenance. Check for cracks, leaks and corrosion. Work the handles on the valves to make sure they don’t stick and that they close in a hurry. Keep an appropriately sized wooden plug tethered to each handle and a mallet nearby to drive the plug into the hole in case a seacock fails. Forespar sells small foam cones that may be used instead of wood and can plug an irregularly shaped hole. Make a drawing or a list of where all the through-hulls are located, including ones used for the engines, heads, refrigeration, A/C units and more.

attached to life jackets for when people fall overboard or abandon ship.

3/Handheld VHF and GPS Units

In case of an onboard electrical failure or an abandon-ship scenario, handheld communication and navigation equipment will be needed. Portable VHF radios and GPS units are affordable and easily stowed, so have at least a couple of each as backups.

Some units are waterproof and float. Also, carry a variety of batteries of various sizes for these items — VHFs may have proprietary types — as well as for flashlights and headlamps.

(PFDs) for a particular vessel.

However, they are often uncomfortable. Inflatable PFDs can be worn for longer periods and with less hassle, because they stay compact until they get wet, in which case they deploy.

Check the expiration date on the CO2 cylinder and have a rearming kit handy. Consider adding a whistle, a light or a strobe, highly reflective SOLAS tape, a harness tether and a registered PLB to each PFD before a long journey.

5/Signaling Equipment

The Coast Guard has rules about the kinds and number of flares a vessel of a certain type must carry, so these are a given.

Most flare kits will also supply a metal signaling “mirror” and a gun to shoot aerial flares. Add a strobe light, a foghorn and a powerful laser pointer, which can be better directed than flares at ships at night, have a long range and cost around $100.

6.

Life Raft and/ or Dinghy

For offshore or long coastal voyages, carry a life raft. Many brands are available, but be sure to spec the size, based on the number of crew (bigger is not always better), and the type, either offshore or coastal (they’re different in construction and equipment). You can choose an automatically deployed system mounted on deck in a hard case and cradle, or a portable version in a soft-sided valise. It’s an item you pay handsomely for and hope to never use, but don’t skimp. A dinghy is not a substitute for a life raft, but it’s a way to stay dry and floating if the ship goes down. Make sure it’s inflated and has the plug in before each departure, because it may turn out to be much more than just a tender.

4 Procedures to Practice In the event of a true emergency, calmer heads will prevail, and creating a course of action will make all the difference. Have a plan for various scenarios prior to departure and discuss them with all aboard. Once you’ve practiced, it will be easier to take the right steps if panic sets in.

1/Emergency Communications

Getting help is a matter of

communication. Train everyone aboard in the use of the vessel’s communications equipment, including VHF and SSB radios and possibly a satellite phone.

If a problem develops in nearcoastal waters, call on VHF Channel 16. Speak slowly and

SPOT and two-way texts on the inReach, but monthly charges apply for both. They are more affordable than satellite phones and EPIRBs, but they are not a substitute for either.

3.

FILE A FLOAT PLAN File a float plan with a friend, relative or an on-water assistance service such as TowBoatUS. Include the name and type of vessel, point of departure and destination, time of departure and of expected arrival, and the number of people aboard and their names and ages. You can download a float plan form from USCGBoating. org, where you can also get an 86-page Federal Requirements Brochure, an accident reporting form and general survival tips.

clearly. Remember the four Ps of information to convey: 1. Problem (the nature of the distress) 2. Position (GPS coordinates or location description) 3. People (number, ages, health issues) 4. PFDs (put them on) When panic sets in, people can forget to provide a good location or misread their GPS position, so teach everyone which numbers are key. If the situation is dire, call “mayday” three times, wait

4.

PACK A COMPREHENSIVE DITCH BAG You can Google “abandon ship bag contents” to get started.

However, restraint is key when packing a ditch bag, because you must consider where you will store it aboard, the room it will take up in a life raft, its weight and your crew’s ability to get it on deck, and how often you’ll take the time to keep its contents up to date. For short coastal voyages, if it’s time to abandon, plan to jump in the dinghy with at least the VHF and cellphone in a dry bag, PFDs, flares, a waterproof flashlight, and your personal and ship’s documents.

5.

PREPARE PAPERWORK Speaking of documents, having your paperwork in order and easily accessible is key to a quick or unplanned departure or being boarded by authorities. Keep the following at hand in one dry bag: vessel documentation, insurance, cruising and fishing permits, and any necessary entry documents for foreign countries. In the other dry bag, keep passports, credit cards and crew information, including medical needs.

4 PROCEDURES TO PR ACTICE (CONT’D)

10 seconds and repeat. Have instructions near the radio about how to call for help in case the one calling is not trained. A common mistake is waiting too long before contacting the Coast Guard, so if in doubt, make the call.

A DSC-enabled (Digital Selective Calling) VHF radio is key. If you can’t make a call, push the DSC button on the VHF to start a relay from vessel to vessel to land unit until it reaches the Coast Guard. Get a nine-digit Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number used to identify ships.

This will tell the Coast Guard which boat is broadcasting and who to reach. The MMSI is free and easy to get by visiting NavCen.USCG.gov.

First, shout “man overboard” to alert the crew.

Stop the boat to prevent getting any farther from the victim and toss a life buoy or floatable PFDs in his direction. Press the MOB button on the GPS to mark the position and designate someone to point at the MOB and count, never taking her eyes off the 2. victim.

Use knows the steps to recovering crew the track on the GPS to double back, or learn the from the water, because it may be the Williamson turn, in case the track is not available. captain who goes in the drink.

Recovery procedures depend on whether the victim is conscious and moving about or somehow incapacitated. Attitudes differ on whether you should approach the person in the water from windward or leeward. From windward, you can drift down on the victim and block the effect of wind and waves with the boat, creating a calmer environment. However, the boat could roll and hit the person, so the approach may be better from leeward. The procedure will be dictated by the conditions and the crew that is available to assist. Form a plan to hoist the victim onto the swim platform in case he can’t use the swim ladder.

3/ Fire Suppression Strategy and Tactics Fire aboard can spread quickly and be devastating within minutes. Per BoatUS statistics, roughly 40

percent of fires are related to AC and DC electrical systems, 12 percent can be tied to engine and fuel systems, and 20 percent are in the “other” category, which includes the galley.

Starve the fire of fuel or oxygen: Know where the engine fuel shutoff and propane tanks are. Close access doors and hatches to cut off the air. Turn off batteries, unplug from shore

DVANCEMENT FOR LL

If there is a single thing that has impacted the world of boating in the past decade, it must be the joystick. From being a videogame tool to becoming the most popular accessory on a yacht, the joystick has literally revolutionized the industry.

First developed to help skippers control notably squirrely waterjet-powered boats, joysticks are now de rigueur as either standard or optional equipment on large and small yachts with inboards, sterndrives, pod drives and, now, outboards. So why exactly are joysticks replacing the steering wheel, which has been in use for centuries? We can think of 10 reasons — and some may be surprising.

Joystick systems have done more to change boating in a decade than pretty much any other innovation. Here are 10 reasons why.

1. They Improve Boat Handling Driving a powerboat, especially in tight situations such as docking, raises the heartbeat of even experienced skippers. Wind, current and piers with sharp edges all add spice (and worry) to tight-quarters maneuvers. So much, in fact, that the legendary Chapman Piloting & Seamanship textbook devotes no fewer than 175 pages to mastering the maneuvers that modern skippers now handle effortlessly with two fingers on a joystick.

Joysticks also take away the former dockside spectator sport of watching skippers botch even the simplest maneuvers. Having a railing lined with onlookers — or, even worse, a waterfront restaurant filled with diners — waiting for some crunching noises can unnerve even experienced skippers. As they grow more experienced with a joystick, skippers may find themselves putting one hand in a pocket to show their total relaxation and lack of concern about the difficulty of the maneuver.

2. They Encourage Firsttime Boat Buyers Newbie boat buyers recognize the complexities of handling a boat, and this has been cited as one of the reasons for delaying a purchase until they gain experience with friends. Joysticks, on the other hand, encourage novices to buy boats, because after a short introduction and some practice, they can easily learn to handle the basic maneuvers.

Of course, it will take years to fully polish the skills, but being able to slide a boat sideways into a narrow dock space or back in between two piers gives tyro skippers a vast edge over learning to juggle steering, throttles, shifters and thrusters.

They Enable Shorthanded Boating

here is a growing trend toward shorthanded boating, as couples with larger boats become empty-nesters and decide to continue their boating lifestyle without a crew of family members.

4 They Facilitate

Additional Helm Stations

O

nce the basic joystick system is in place, it’s easy to add additional stations, so skippers aren’t stuck controlling the boat from the flybridge or an inside helm where access to the deck is difficult. Joysticks are being cleverly concealed in fold-out panels at deck level in the cockpit, to put the skipper in the center of the action. Joysticks can be added to both sides of the flybridge on wide yachts, allowing the skipper to look down on the dock and sidedecks.

A wireless handheld joystick allows them to move anywhere on the boat in pursuit of that fish.

Joysticks allow greater control over the boat, which means less running around with fenders and docklines. Being able to turn a boat, even in a slip, means one person can take care of the docklines one at a time while the skipper places the boat to make it easy.

Some joystick systems even include a “hold” feature that allows the driver to literally pin the boat against the dock in one position while he takes care of docklines, even if there is wind or current. And with handheld wireless joysticks such as the Yacht Controller Joystick Transmitter, a skipper can walk anywhere on the boat — or off it — to help with lines or fenders, while still remaining in full control. During anchoring, a skipper can move to the foredeck with a handheld joystick, to accurately place the yacht for dropping or retrieving the anchor.

5. They Deliver No-pain Waiting While boating is about freedom, boaters often find themselves waiting: for a bridge to open, for a space at the fuel dock, for someone to leave a slip at a waterfront restaurant. In pre-joystick days, skippers had to remain alert, juggling shifters and steering to maintain position in wind and current. It was never much fun.

Whether it’s called dynamic positioning, station-holding or one of the many trade names from Skyhook to Set Point, today’s joysticks use a link to the boat’s GPS to hold the yacht’s position within a few feet. Just stop in an appropriate spot to wait for the bridge to open, punch a button and relax. The joystick will hold the boat right there. The crew has to remain vigilant for other boats, of course, but no one has to perform the constant actions required to hold position.

Owning a Larger Boat

here’s no question about joysticks,” said Tom Slikkers, CEO of the Tiara and Pursuit boat brands. “We’re very dialed in to what our customers want, and the joystick is clearly a must-have for today’s buyer. In the process of tracking industry trends, we’ve discovered two things about joysticks. First, the majority of our buyers specifically want them, and second, having a joystick encourages them to buy a larger boat.”

Slikkers knows, as do other boat builders, that The joystick buyers may increase the size of their boat by as much has literally as 10 feet, since the joystick allows them to comfortrevolutionized ably handle the larger boat. It’s obviously good for the industry. the industry, which is always delighted to sell larger boats. But it’s even better for boat buyers, who can get more space, more accommodations and more amenities while still knowing they can handle the larger boat easily, thanks to the joystick.

For Don McNamara, an airline pilot based in Seattle, the joystick was one of three critical must-haves when he bought his Carver 54. “First, I had to have a big master stateroom, since I spend too much time in hotels. Second, it had to have an easily enclosed bridge, because, hey, this is Seattle. And third, it had to have a joystick. I’m single and I can take this out by myself or with a few inexperienced friends. I turned down more than a few otherwise good boats just because they didn’t have a joystick.”

With the introduction of joysticks to outboard-powered boats, joysticks are no longer the sole province of large yachts.

Center consoles in the 20-foot range with twin or triple outboards are now candidates for joystick controls, gaining all the advantages for docking and maneuvering, as well as for fishing.

And joysticks are soon going to revolutionize wakeboarding and wakesurfing.

Expect to see joystick piloting on new single-engine towboats, since Mercury Marine has introduced Joystick Piloting for Inboards, which will begin appearing on towsports boats this fall.

The system, according to David Foulkes, Mercury’s vice president of product development, “will disrupt a segment of the market that has never seen this technology before.” Requiring either Vetus or Side Power bow thrusters, the system will provide enhanced controls for towing, such as precision “power turns” to retrieve a fallen rider as well as a more confident boating experience for all users.

Mercury has also updated its Smart Tow feature to accommodate the lower speeds required by wakesurfers, and skippers can choose a preset “launch” profile and cruise speed to provide consistent and repeatable tows for ’boarders.

7. They Have Revolutionized Fishing

8. They Facilitate Taking It Easy

The maneuverability of joystick controls means skippers can quickly back down on a fish or spin the stern to keep the rod pointed toward the fish. Old-time sportfishing captains can stand at the upper helm, facing aft, and control the throttles and shifters behind their back. But, frankly, that can be uncomfortable. With a joystick, they can install a second control station aft on the bridge and look directly down on the action. Or they can put a station in the cockpit for even more on-scene control. And a wireless handheld joystick allows them to move anywhere on the boat in pursuit of that fish.

The dynamic positioning feature also means the captain can plant the boat directly over a prime fishing area and remain there effortlessly. This is even more of an advantage when it’s too deep to anchor.

One thing that is rarely mentioned in all the promotional materials for joysticks is that driving with one is easy on the captain’s body. With a conventional wheel, the driver has to stand behind the wheel the entire time he’s on the water at low speeds. The lucky ones have a comfy helm chair but still end up leaning forward to make adjustments or have to hunch forward over the wheel.

Many boat builders are offering a joystick mounted on the helm seat’s armrest, so the skipper can handle the boat comfortably, even for long periods, with just a twist of the wrist.

hile a joystick can make driving more comfortable during low-speed maneuvering, the new Volvo Penta Joystick Driving allows for control of steering even at speed, instead of just around the dock. Linked through the autopilot, the new joystick system will steer a boat at any speed, and the autopilot will resume course once the driver releases the stick. The skipper sets the shifters and throttles normally and then settles back, with full control right at her fingertips.

They Deliver a Short Learning Curve

C

ertainly, one selling point for joysticks is the fact that buyers can become operational in a matter of hours. The joystick is not just user friendly but it’s intuitive: push the joystick to the right, the boat moves right. Twist the joystick, the boat rotates.

Don’t get me wrong: There’s a whole lot more to operating a boat than just steering. But in an emergency, a spouse or even a guest can get a joystick boat to where help is available. During any safety speech with new guests aboard, adding a quick explanation of the joystick can No one has to prove to be a lifesaver. perform the constant And when it comes to joysticks, kids generally master actions required to their operation faster than adults, thanks to endless hours of gaming, although they may not fully understand the niceties hold position. of wind and current. Still, many families are now entrusting the joystick controls to their youngsters.

The bottom line is that joysticks have brought a revolution in boat handling that has impacted nearly every action that a skipper will use while operating his boat.

They’ve made boat handling easier and more precise, they solve problems such as waiting for bridges and they’ve added considerably to fishing maneuverability and comfort.

A CENTURY OLD & NEW AGAIN ROSARIO RESORT GOT A FACELIFT, A NEW MARINA CONFIGURATION AND MUCH MORE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

CRUISING NORTHWEST IN ORCAS ISLAND’S East Sound, we could see the white Moran Mansion 1 come into view well before we arrived. The century-old mansion was built as the private residence of Seattle shipbuilder and two-time Seattle mayor Robert Moran and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located approximately 80 miles north of Seattle on 30 acres of Orcas Island waterfront, today it houses the popular resort and spa with 104 guest rooms and scenic mountain views.

Moran built Rosario with Arts and Crafts ideals in mind — time spent with family, a respect for nature and a return to quality hand craftsmanship lost in the

industrial revolution. One hundred years later, San Juan County has approved the Rosario Resort Master Plan for redevelopment, which preserves Moran’s legacy and

renews resort operations for the enjoyment of the community and visitors for Rosario’s next 100 years.

added to better protect the moorage. The extension also provides additional moorage and a seaplane landing float.

The marina 2 was originally built for Moran’s 132-foot yacht Sanwan, and this past winter’s renovation started from the seabed up. All the old pilings were removed to allow a new U-shaped dock configuration.

“I have been at Rosario for many years and the old docks were older than I am,” said Christopher Peacock, Rosario Resort & Spa general manager. “I am sure our marina guests will be happy with the new U-shaped configuration, which will allow boats to enter our slips down a deeper center channel.”

There are 30 slips, and expanded side ties are available. We also noticed wider moorage slips, and more distance between the ends of the finger (88 feet) provided plenty of room for maneuvering when docking.

Marina personnel monitor VHF Channel 78A and request that arriving boaters call prior to entering the marina for a slip assignment. Dock personnel will be on hand to assist with lines.

Seasonal summer rates, from May 26 to Sept. 15, are $2 per foot, with a minimum charge of $52 for boats under 30 feet. The fee includes 30- or 50-amp power (with more 50-amp power available), Wi-Fi, unlimited water, access to the — rebuilt this season — outdoor Marina Family Pool and showers, the use of which is included in the moorage fee for up to four people.

MEET ANDY GREGORY

MANAGER, WASHINGTON CLEAN MARINA PROGRAM WHEN HE WAS 10 YEARS old, Andy Gregory was sailing Sunfish and Lasers on Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. Not a bad way to spend the summer for the Wickford, R.I., native. By the time he was 15 he was working for Safe/Sea, the local TowBoatUS affiliate, and before he earned his high school diploma he had earned his first captain’s license — an OUPV 6-pack.

In the years since, he has upgraded his license, operated charter sailboats, environmental sampling vessels, and towing and salvage vessels from New England to the Turks and Caicos and from San Francisco to Dutch Harbor, Alaska.

“Time and travels brought me to the Pacific Northwest where I’ve settled,” said Gregory, the pollution prevention director at the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance. “I’ve continued to work in the marine industry.”

Also the manager of the state of Washington’s Clean Marina program, Gregory is a big proponent of keeping the water and the environment pristine. We asked him more about the Clean Marina Program and what boaters can do to contribute to keeping the water clean.

Sea: What is the Clean Marina program and how did it get started?

Gregory: The Washington state Clean Marina program is a collaborative, incentive-based, voluntary certification program for marinas in Washington that are working to prevent pollution. Marina and boater-generated pollution including vessel sewage, oil spills and debris from maintenance activities degrades water quality and can have local and regional impacts on wildlife and human health. By implementing Best Management Practices, or BMPs, boaters and marina staff can dramatically reduce pollution, keeping the water safe for swimming, fishing, and shellfish harvesting.

There are seven partner organizations that oversee the state program, including Puget Soundkeeper, the Northwest Marine Trade Association, Washington SeaGrant, Department of Ecology, Department of Natural Resources, State Parks, and the

EnviroStars Cooperative. The program was started by Puget Soundkeeper and the other partners as an expansion of the EnviroStars certification program in 2006. It is similar to other state- or regional-based programs but operates independently in Washington state. Currently there are 73 certified marinas.

How do marinas get certified?

Marinas must complete an eligibility checklist and application, which function as a confidential environmental self-audit of everything from spill response to hazardous waste management. After we receive a completed application packet, a representative from the program conducts a site visit to provide technical assistance. This often consists of providing spill response materials, secondary containment for hazardous materials or information about grant funding for vessel sewage pumpouts.

The cornerstone of the Clean Marina program is the set of Best Management Practices, which marinas adopt as part of their tenant rules and regulations.

BMPs are commonsense solutions that, when implemented by boaters or marina staff, prevent pollution from entering the waterways.

What sorts of practices do Clean Marinas engage in that make them stand out?

Marinas in Washington state are engaged in a variety of creative projects to protect the environment. Common practices are providing free spill kits and sewage pumpout adaptors to boaters, hosting clean boating seminars or providing pumpouts free of charge. Five-star or Leadership Level Clean Marinas go above and beyond, installing energy-saving lights, low-flow

showers to save water, or rain gardens to reduce polluted stormwater runoff. There are also a few clever incentive programs such as Port of Seattle’s “Clean Captain’s Club,” which promotes environmental leadership within the marina.

What are the obvious and subtle ways the Clean Marina program benefits boaters?

Boaters and marina staff are natural stewards of the environment. By taking simple steps to prevent oil spills, use less soap, dispose of sewage at a shore-side facility, or prevent trash from being blown overboard, boaters are keeping the water and shorelines clean and safe for themselves and their children to swim, sail and fish.

Additionally, access to clean water is a right that everyone has, and marina pollution can be an environmental justice issue for those who rely on clean water for subsistence fishing or shellfish harvesting.

How can boaters get involved?

It’s easy to get involved. Boaters can pitch in the next time they get underway, by using oil-absorbent pads to prevent drips at the fuel dock, utilizing holding tanks and sewage pumpouts, switching to environmentally friendly cleaning products, and remembering the simple motto “only water goes in the water.” Additionally, talk to your local marina manager or harbormaster to find out if your homeport is certified and encourage them to contact the local Clean Marina or Clean Harbors representative.

WAIT IT OUT AT WAKES COVE

OOZING WITH MYSTERY, HISTORY AND INTRIGUE, THE COVE IS A POPULAR STOPPING POINT BEFORE TRANSITING GABRIOLA PASSAGE. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

WAKES COVE, SITUATED AT THE north end of Valdes Island, has long been considered a good location to wait for slack in Gabriola Passage where in the spring the current, which floods east and ebbs west, can reach 8 knots. The 1-mile-long passage separates Gabriola and Valdes islands and connects the Strait of Georgia to the inner Gulf Islands. The waterway is only 100 meters wide at its narrowest section between Cordero and Josef points and can be a busy thoroughfare during the summer cruising season.

SETTING THE HOOK Wakes Cove is the site of a provincial park, which is a good reason to stick around for a while. Some of the cruising guides report the holding in Wakes Cove is suspect because of large patches of kelp, debris from past logging operations and exposure to boat wakes. Supporting these reports, the remains of a steam-driven donkey can be seen at low tide on the western shore.

We prefer to set Easy Goin’s hook in nearby Dogfish Bay, as it’s locally known, which is the best choice to hole-up and wait for slack water when cruising west through Gabriola Passage, and it’s also the home of a yacht club outstation and an alternative anchorage for Wakes Cove

Provincial Park visitors.

The long, narrow and shallow bay lies east of Valdes and in the lee of Kendrick Island. The best area to set the hook is north of the floats and buoys that belong to the West Vancouver Yacht Club (members only) in 25 to 40 feet over a mud-and-sand bottom. South of the buoys, the water shoals rapidly to rock and kelp.

The anchorage provides a view of the magnificent sandstone formations along Kendrick’s western shoreline The best way to view these formations and caves carved by thousands of years of winter storm is by dinghy or kayak.

The anchorage is near popular salmon and bottom sportfishing areas in the Strait

of Georgia, and it’s common for sportsfishermen to seek safe refuge for the night in Dogfish Bay at the end of a long day.

THE EARLY DAYS About 40 million years ago, the Gulf Islands were formed by rising sea beds of sedimentary rock. The islands were later scoured by glaciers and battered by eons of wave action that sculpted the sandstone shoreline into the amazing shapes of today.

One-third of Valdes Island is a First Nations reserve. The Lyackson First Nation is a small, Central Coastal Salish Hulq’umin’um community of fewer than 200 members. There are approximately 60 archaeological sites, including several indigenous burial grounds on the island, evidence the First Nation people have used the island for nearly 5,000 years.

MYSTERY TUNNEL There is an ancient legend that dates from the mists of time of a 3-mile

PNW-10 SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2017

+ Sea NWRegionals new.indd 10

5/30/17 9:55 AM

subterranean passageway linking Valdes Island’s western cliffs to Thetis Island.

According to tribal folklore, Valdes had been used by tribes for puberty rites. An initiate would be taken to Valdes to fast and practice other rituals, then make his way through the passageway beneath the sea to Thetis Island, deposit his staff and return — all with the aid of a single torch.

To this day no such corridor has been found, but caverns 200 feet deep, with artifacts and other evidence of native visitations, have been discovered on both islands.

Adding to the legend is speculation that earthquakes may have blocked the route.

THE PARK From Dogfish Bay it’s an almost milelong dinghy ride through Gabriola Passage to Wake Cove Provincial Park or six-tenths of a mile north, across the passage, to Drumbeg Provincial Park on Gabriola Island.

Established in June 2002, the 205-hectare Wakes Cove Provincial Park is only accessible by kayak or boat. The Marine Parks Forever Society donated funds SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2017 PNW-11

toward the purchase of the property.

The society received donations from the recreational boating community that were used to assist in purchasing the 73 hectares of Crown foreshore. The park is served by a pier and a small float. The other docks and mooring buoys in the cove are private and there is no camping in the park. The park grounds preserve a mixture of Douglas fir, Garry oak and arbutus trees, as well as several endangered plant species.

ISLAND HISTORY Valdes Island is named after the Spanish naval officer Cayetano Valdez y Bazan, who first visited the area in 1792 as a lieutenant serving under Capt. Alexandro Malaspina on Descubierta. Valdes returned in 1792 as captain of Mexicana to explore the area with Capt. Dionisio Galiano aboard Sutil.

The cove and park are named after British naval Capt. Baldwin Wake, who acquired the land surrounding the cove in 1876, and his family owned it up to the late

There were also rumors that money was buried on the island; however, it was never proven. roads act as trails through the park. The trail to the left leads east to the remains of a homestead and orchard, then beyond to the shoreline of Dogfish Bay and a view of Kendrick Island. Walk straight up from the dinghy dock and take the trail, either straight ahead or off to the right to walk a complete circuit through the interior of the island.

The private areas are clearly marked, as are the park boundaries, and the residents’ privacy and property should be respected.

The island supports a small community of residents at Starvation Bay on the north shore, but the majority of the population of the island consists of part-time vacationers.

1920s. Wake died mysteriously while sailing his sloop. His body was never found, but remains of his boat and belongings did wash up on nearby Thetis Island. His widow moved to Esquimalt with her two daughters, but her son, Baldwin, remained at Wakes Cove.

Baldwin’s widow, Amelia, was still living there in the late 1920s when much of the surrounding land was purchased

by Edward Arthur Wilson, a religious leader known as Brother XII, one of Canada’s most notorious cult leaders. A mystic and a former sea captain, Brother XII established an occult society and utopian community called The Aquarian

Foundation outside of nearby Nanaimo, in 1927. The Society claimed more than 2,000 members at its height, including many wealthy and prominent individuals.

A series of sensational court cases, during which Brother XII was accused of misusing foundation funds, advocating free love and claiming to be the reincarnation of the Egyptian god Osiris, led to the breakup of the original colony.

Brother XII formed a new settlement, a “City of Refuge,” on Valdes and DeCourcy islands, where he and his disciples believed they would survive the coming Armageddon. Conditions at the colony gradually deteriorated, as Brother XII and his sadistic mistress, a woman known as Madame Z, turned their followers into slaves, subjecting them to the most appalling hardships.

Brother XII’s plan for the Valdes Island property was to establish a secluded retreat at which he would train selected disciples.

But when he moved his pregnant lover into a newly built cabin, he was accused of turning the park-like setting into a personal love nest and the communal settlement was never completed, of which little trace remains today. There were also rumors that money was buried on the island; however, it has never been proven.

It is said Bother XII fled to Switzerland with a fortune in gold.

BOUNTY OF THE SEA

THE OCEAN PROVIDES SUSTENANCE THAT IS FRESH, NUTRITIOUS AND FUN TO HARVEST. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

A POT HEAVY WITH CRABS or prawns or a freshly caught salmon on the barbecue is a Northwest boater’s dream come true. Add to that discovering a beach full of clams, mussels or tasty oysters, and the cruising life doesn’t get much better.

Foraging for their next meal is something many Northwest boaters relish. They like the challenges and enjoy the delicious bounty. Whether it’s Dungeness crab, fresh-caught salmon or lingcod, mussels, or oysters, the waters of Washington and British Columbia are home to an abundance of seafood that is fun to harvest and tasty to eat.

Regulations for each species are complex,

cutthroat trout are also native to the area and can be found around the mouth of coastal streams.

For example, in Washington’s Area 7, which encompasses the San Juan Islands and the mainland coast from Anacortes to Point Roberts, the best time to fish for Chinook is December through February and again in July and August. Coho can be caught in September and October,

Big salmon is the big prize for many anglers in Washington and British Columbia. vary from area to area and can change with conditions, so check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) or Canada Fisheries and Oceans website before pushing off the dock.

FISHING Recreational salmon fishing is incredibly popular, and a big salmon is the big prize for many anglers in Washington and British Columbia. The area supports runs of Chinook, coho, chum, pink and sockeye species. Steelhead, bull trout and searun PNW-14

while pinks (or humpies) can be caught in odd-numbered years in August and September.

In central and northern British Columbia, humpies run every year.

In addition to salmon, lingcod, halibut and rockfish are popular fish in the coastal waters of British Columbia. Check the Fisheries and Oceans Canada website to learn the seasons and limits.

CRABBING In the Northwest, recreational crabbing

means Dungeness and red rock crab. All anyone needs to get started is a fishing license with a crab endorsement, a baited crab pot and a place to soak it. Many boaters simply tie a piece of bait to a fishing rod and drop it over the side. The trick to this method is to reel the crab up and lift it out of the water with a fishing net. If the crab is lifted out of the water, it will release the bait and fall back into the water.

In Washington the summer crab season varies from area to area and is subject to change to protect soft-shell crabs. Winter crab seasons are set area by area after the summer season is complete. To find out when crabbing is open in the area you’re cruising, visit the WDFW website.

In Canada, crabbing is permitted yearround but with localized closures. It is illegal to retain female Dungeness crabs on both sides of the border.

Get crabbing gear from a marine or fishing tackle store. A knowledgeable employee can explain how to set it up properly. Shop employees are a friendly resource to get started on any crabbing adventure. Asked nicely enough, they may even reveal the best crabbing spots.

SHRIMP More than 80 species of shrimp inhabit Washington waters. Only seven species, though, are regularly captured for consumption by sport harvesters. All seven harvested species belong to the Pandalidae family. Shrimp of this family have a unique reproductive cycle, maturing first as males, then changing sex in later years to reproduce as females. Spot shrimp (also referred to as prawns or spot prawns)

are the largest shrimp and most popular with sport anglers. Their geographic range extends from Southern California to Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, around to the Sea of Japan and the Korea Strait.

Shrimp are found primarily on or near the bottom. They have been found at depths greater than 1,000 feet but are

on oyster farms, recreational harvesting is popular throughout the Northwest.

Washington state regulations require all recreationally harvested oysters to be shucked on the beach so the next generation of oysters can reuse the empty shell.

Mussels are found in dense mats attached by fine threads to rocks, pilings

food chain. Because of this, it’s important to pay attention to beach closures, to avoid harvesting contaminated shellfish. Shellfish harvesting is prohibited on the mainland coast of British Columbia from Vancouver south to the American border. Check the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and Canada Fisheries and Ocean website for beach closures.

SQUID

Dungeness crab

most frequently captured at depths of 30 to 300 feet. Spot shrimp tend to inhabit rocky or hard bottoms. Gear requirements and limits differ between Washington and British Columbia. Gear regulations also vary between species in Washington.

CLAMS, MUSSELS AND OYSTERS There’s nothing is quite like finding dinner while strolling along the beach.

Manila clams, butter clams, native littlenecks, mussels and world-class Pacific and Olympia oysters — all but the mussels and oysters require a little digging, but that’s half the fun.

Many boaters consider oysters to be a delicacy but may not know they are also highly nutritious: rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. While most oysters that wind up on a plate are commercially harvested

or other hard surfaces, and they have oblong, blue-back or brown shells. Of the two species of mussels found in the inland waterways of the Northwest, the foolish mussel is the most commonly used for the table. It grows to a length of about three inches and is found mainly in sheltered waters attached to gravel, boulders, floats and pilings. The California mussel grows to a considerably larger size and is found primarily on wave-washed rocks in coastal areas and can grow to more than six inches. Mussels are detached, stripped of their byssus or “beard,” scrubbed clean, and then steamed or cooked like clams.

For the same reasons they are so flavorful, clams, mussels and oysters are also susceptible to toxins. As filter feeders, they concentrate the elements and compounds that are passed through each step of the

Squid are also available in the Northwest year-round, although the best time to catch them is during the fall and winter.

Harvesting these tasty little mollusks is an after-dark adventure that requires simple, inexpensive fishing tackle. Squid fishing or jigging typically takes place on the many piers and docks rather than a boat because of the black defensive ink they expel can quickly make a mess of a boat deck.

The most common species of squid found in inside waters of the Northwest is the Pacific squid, also known as market squid, which measures about eight inches (mantle plus tentacles). With a long, tapered body and triangular tail fins, these fast-moving, 10-armed mollusks are known as calamari when prepared as food.

Biologically, squid belong to the class of mollusks known as cephalopods, which also includes octopus. Squid are decapods, having 10 tentacles, compared to the eight arms of octopi. They also are free-swimming creatures and exhibit schooling behavior similar to many species of fish.

QUICK ESCAPE

GATEWAY TO THE ISLANDS

CHANNEL ISLANDS HARBOR IS FAMILY AND FOODIE FRIENDLY, AND ITS LOCATION IS IDEAL FOR A TRIP TO THE OFFSHORE PARK AND SANCTUARY.

BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

WHEN CRUISING NORTH FROM LOS Angeles after passing the natural beauty of Malibu, right after Port Hueneme, boaters are greeted by a large inland harbor in Oxnard, Calif., known as Channel Islands Harbor 1 . There is a sprawling labyrinth of marinas and waterfront homes lining every channel of the expansive harbor. There are plenty of activities for boat people, if they plan to stay just for a few hours or a few days.

In the expanses of Channel Islands Harbor, boaters have several options for mooring. Guest moorage, which is $1.30 per foot per day (with a $30 minimum), can be found at Anacapa Isle Marina 2 , Bahia Marina 3 , Channel Islands Harbor Marina 4 , Pacific Corinthian Marina 5 , and Vintage Marina 6 . There is a 10-day limit for guest moorage, but visitors who want to stay longer can make a request with the harbormaster. Just stopping in for a bite to eat? Drop by the harbormaster’s office near the entrance of the harbor to be ushered to a guest dock right in front of Fisherman’s Wharf.

are known for their untouched natural beauty. To clarify, Channel Islands Harbor is actually part of the city of Oxnard, which is located in Ventura County. It’s conveniently located between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. There are a plethora of options directly on the

Channel Islands Harbor

waterfront, from fitness clubs — they offer day passes! — to several kayak rental centers to museums, theaters, and farmer’s markets. Along the water is Anacapa Boatyard 7 for boating repair needs, several yacht clubs and brokerages, and also several nail and hair salons, bike

tor of the Center for Wooden Boats, died April 20 at home with his family. Wagner was 84 years old and had spent almost half of his life building CWB into a recognizable entity in Seattle and beyond. His vision and actions helped transform South Lake Union from an industrialized eyesore into the boating and recreational area it is today.

A tribute to Wagner on the CWB website (cwb.org) said, “Some people change skylines. Dick changed Seattle’s waterline.”

And he approached sailing and access to the water as something everyone should be able to enjoy, creating free programs and encouraging the city to make programs as inclusive as possible. The tribute said, “He was committed to democratizing the world of sailing and using wooden boats as a force for good. He believed CWB should serve all members of the community, especially the young and those with special needs. He was most proud of our programs that serve homeless youth and people with physical challenges.”

Wagner is survived by his wife, Colleen, a sister, two sons and one grandchild.

Donations in Wagner’s name can be made to the CWB online or over the phone, (206) 382-2628.

There are plenty of mooring options available for any sized vessel inside Channel Islands Harbor.

Elite Theatre Co., which performs from March through November.

Check the website to peruse the lineup of eclectic entertainers.

RESTOCKING Before the crew disembarks, they can restock at a number of specialty stores. At Harbor Mart, beverages are abundant, to satisfy everyone on the boat, and its deli counter is a good spot to grab a burger. Harbor Mart 10 also has a large selection of souvenirs and sundries available, for folks who enjoy keepsakes. The Marine Emporium Landing 11 offers nautical clothing and gifts, diving and snorkeling gear, marine supplies, and fishing tackle.

There are a plethora of options directly on the waterfront GATEWAY TO THE ISLANDS Channel Islands Harbor is aptly named because it is one of a few ports from which people can charter a boat to visit and enjoy the quiet peace of nature and the unique ecosystem of the offshore Channel Islands. Right next door to the Marine Emporium Landing is Island Packers Cruises, located in Channel Islands Harbor, offers trips to all five of the islands that make up the Channel Islands National Park and National Marine Sanctuary, but boat owners can take their own vessel, if they obtain the correct permits and reservations, which vary from island to island.

The Coast Guard is cracking down on recreational boaters using their vessel as unauthorized passenger-for-hire operations. The emphasis for now is on boats with six or more passengers.

OFF THE CHARTERS

AUTHORITIES ARE CRACKING DOWN ON UNAUTHORIZED PASSENGER-FOR-HIRE ACTIVITIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. BOAT OWNERS MIGHT THINK THAT a good way to mitigate the cost of owning a boat would be to charter it out to paying customers. And in theory it is a good way to earn some income with the boat, but without credentials, boat owners could be in trouble with regional or federal law enforcement authorities if they are chartering without adhering to authorized passenger-for-hire authorization.

TAKING AIM Coast Guard officials warned boaters and the general public in March about illegal charter boat operations in the Los Angeles area, providing fair warning that they would be monitoring local waterways

for unauthorized passenger-for-hire activity. Only Coast Guard-credentialed or licensed vessel operators are permitted to carry passengers for commercial purposes.

A Coast Guard-issued Certificate of Inspection, which verifies certain federal

safety standards have been met, must be conspicuously displayed on any vessel carrying six or more passengers.

The Coast Guard specifically will be cracking down on recreational boaters using their vessel to carry more than six passengers for commercial purposes. Any vessel with six or more paying passengers must have a valid and current Certificate of Inspection from the Coast Guard.

In an announcement dated March 16 of this year, the Coast Guard wrote, “The Captain of the Port issued several ‘Captain of the Port Orders’ to specific vessel operators to cease operations as commercial vessels carrying more than six passengers, including one passenger for hire, and in some cases to cease operations carrying any passengers for hire… A passenger is

captain’s license or report an illegal charter operation by contacting the Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach Command Center at 310-521-3801.

While some will view all this as another government intrusion into private affairs, the safety of everyone involved is at the forefront of the increased enforcement.

Non-compliant boats can pose safety

considered for hire if they contribute any economic benefit, monetary contribution, or a donation as a condition of carriage, to any person having an interest in the vessel, unless the contribution is from a voluntarily sharing of voyage expenses.”

CREDENTIALS Passengers booking a passenger-for-hire service — especially if the reservation is made online — should ask the operator several questions to determine whether or not the charter is legal, according to the Coast Guard team in Los Angeles-Long Beach. Foremost among those questions, ask if the operator has proof the vessel is compliant with Coast Guard requirements and ask the captain to present a valid Coast Guard license. Passengers can verify a

hazards to passengers who might assume such a vessel has been inspected by the Coast Guard.

“In addition to the noted safety concerns,” a Coast Guard statement said, “vessels that do not comply with federal regulations adversely impact the livelihood of legitimate operators who do comply with federal regulations.”

POLICY CHANGES Los Angeles County and Port of San Diego officials have been working to craft policy to curb illegal charter activity. The Small Craft Harbor Commission, which deliberates and reviews many boating and waterfront activities in Marina del Rey, recently discussed increased efforts to address illegal charters at Los Angeles

Illegal charters are a problem in ports throughout the country

County’s largest harbor. Staff at the county’s Department of Beaches and Harbors, for example, contemplated sweeps or sting operations to possibly weed out illegal charter operations.

The Port of San Diego and other agencies could be drafting a policy regulating illegal charter operations within the next few months. Meanwhile, the city recently looked into cracking down on short-term vacation rentals in residential districts, courtesy of an opinion issued by San Diego City attorney Mara Elliot in mid-March.

Port district staff confirms the city attorney’s opinion does not apply to marinas and boating operations. San Diego’s City Council, according to news reports, struggled to move forward with Elliott’s opinion, SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2017 CA-7

+ Sea CARegionals new.indd 7

5/31/17 9:20 AM

so the potential regulation of illegal charters or boat and breakfast activity via curbs on short-term vacation rental activity is still a fluid situation.

“Illegal charters are a problem in ports throughout the country,” a San Diego port district spokesperson told The Log. “Locally, Sector San Diego of the Coast Guard has put together a joint working group called the ‘Illegal Charter Working Group’ to address local, illegal charters.”

A spokesperson with Port of San Diego, in an email to The Log, stated multiple agencies are developing a standardized approach to address illegal charters in the harbor. Illegal charters in Oceanside Harbor and San Diego’s Mission Bay would also be addressed, according to the port district spokesperson.

“Ultimately,” the spokesperson said, “the group will put together a public education piece before any efforts to enforce new vessel charter laws.”

MONTANA DE ORO STATE PARK, LOS OSOS, CALIF.

MONTANA DE ORO STATE PARK is six miles south of Morro Bay and two miles south of Los Osos. The name Montana de Oro means “Mountain of Gold,” named as such because of the golden wildflowers that blanket the coastal mountains and cliffs.

There are over 8,000 acres of cliffs, sandy

beaches, and coastal plains for boaters to enjoy.

The easiest place to see tide pools is Spooners Cove; come at low tide to see all the animals thriving in the tide.

The park has about 65 miles of trails and 473 species of plants, and a variety of wild animals, from acorn woodpeckers to black bears.

Visit Spooners Ranch House, at the south end of the park’s Coon Creek trailhead, where you’ll find a small museum and the park’s headquarters. The Ranch House is the only historical structure still standing of the 18 outbuildings that once stood.

Keep an eye out for sea otters hanging around the kelp in the surf below the cliffs, and grey whales farther out along the coastline.

DERBY AT MARINA DEL REY

IN LATE APRIL, 84 anglers partic-

ipated in the two-day Marina del Rey Halibut Derby, which raised funds for the Marina del Rey Anglers’ Youth Fishing Program, which allows the club to take more than 500 at-risk and disabled children fishing, and the White Sea Bass Grow

Out Program, which releases more than 10,000 juvenile white sea bass annually.

This year, participants fought windy conditions to search for the winning fish. Reggie Beauvais received first place for his 27.8pound California halibut in the Individual Angler division, and Game Over won in the Teams division. Entrants and their friends enjoyed Outback catering and a raffle that gave winners more than $10,000 worth of

MOORING MODIFICATIONS UNDER DISCUSSION

THE NEWPORT BEACH city council

decided in March that moorings in the harbor will be subjected to a higher transfer fee. The council reviewed recommended modifications to the rules concerning mooring in its harbor as part of a study session at its Feb. 28 meeting and voted on the regulations a month later. The Newport Beach harbor commission, in collaboration with Newport Mooring Association, recommended these allowances: no fee for mooring transfers between family or trust; up to two names on a mooring permit; a maximum of two permits per person; the city to rent moorings to a third party if a mooring is vacant; and the city to auction revoked moorings.

turer of DC power products based in Newport Beach, has equipped a U.S. Navy World War II PT boat with state-of-theart battery chargers. After more than a decade of volunteer-provided planning and restoration work, PT-305 motored to its new home in a custom-built boathouse on Louisiana’s Lake Pontchartrain March 25, where visitors can tour and arrange rides on the fully functioning vessel. To help bring this project to completion, Newmar donated a package of four Phase Three (PT) series battery chargers for the vessel’s port and starboard 24v battery banks and the 12v generator start bank.

“This project was a labor of love for the more than 200 volunteers who put in over 100,000 hours of donated work on the project,” said Brian Giannini, sales manager, Newmar, “and it is a pleasure to see it come to fruition as PT-305 enters its new life as the world’s only fully operational combat-veteran WWII PT boat museum. All of us at Newmar are proud that we could contribute to the restoration.”

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

JULY’S QUESTION:

It sounds so simple: Find a yacht broker who can help you find the right yacht. But how do you know you’re working with a good broker?

TO ANSWER THE question this month,

we were able to consult some of our own content. In the August 2015 issue of Sea, our story “Learn the ABCs of Yacht Brokerages” laid out how to find a yacht broker in an easy-to-follow alphabetical format. Here are some relevant sections from that story.

• Good brokers become great brokers by maintaining relationships. When yacht sales professionals consider the number of people they meet over a year, compared to the number of boats they sell, the best ones know that existing customers and referrals most often lead to new business. Good business practices and a good reputation are paramount for a brokerage and a new yacht sales establishment.

• Help and assistance after the sale

professionals are often boat owners.

They can help you find dock space and qualified marine service technicians; they can also help you learn how to operate your vessel or recommend a training captain to make your acquisition a smooth and safe one. They often know the local waters, and often they become your new boating companion.

• Impartiality is key, especially when

it comes to a surveyor. Brokers should offer a list of surveyors. Providing a list of National Association of Marine Surveyors (NAMS) or Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS) for the buyer to choose from is part of the YBAA code of ethics. If a broker recommends only one surveyor, then the red flag should go up for the buyer — akin to “the mouse guarding the cheese.”

is complete. The best yacht sales



• Network of listings and a brokerage house’s contacts help uncover deals. While the Internet has made research easier, brokerage houses help you save time when you’re truly ready to buy a boat.

• Questions, questions, questions. The best yacht sales professionals are skilled at asking the tough questions that must be answered to achieve a great result. It’s normal and natural not to blurt out that you want to spend $450,000 on a boat, or that you can’t afford any more than $100,000. Regardless of the number, by answering the broker’s questions honestly, you provide the information needed to help you find the boat you desire.

• Your yacht transaction professional team is operating in your best interest. Their heads are involved, not their heart. Your broker, marine surveyor, lender, insurance agent and mechanic sometimes have their best advice ignored by buyers, who feel the pressure to close a deal because it’s “too good to be true.” Listen to your team, not your heart.

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

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

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