ANCHORS, OBEY I T SEEMS EVERY boater has a “this happened when I

was a beginner” story to tell. Heck, even many longtime boaters have stories to tell that they wish could be ascribed to the “this happened when I was a beginner” category — but can’t. That’s because in boating there’s never a time when someone can say, “Now I know everything there is to know.”

Many stories of boating mishaps can trace their roots to anchoring. Dropping (aweighing?) it, setting it, weighing it. There’s the chance for an “oops” moment in all three phases. When it comes to anchoring, practice probably doesn’t make perfect, but it can make pretty darn good.

The writer of this month’s cruising feature, “Long Night in Fossil Bay” (p. 22), had an anchoring experience during his and his wife’s first “big” cruise that could have turned them off to cruising in a hurry.

Instead, it taught Ed and Barb Lee valuable lessons that they have since applied to more than 3,000 miles of cruising through the waters of the Pacific Northwest, on both sides of the border.

The first lesson? Have an anchor appropriate to one’s boat. In their case, they upgraded to a 70-pounder that has served them well. Another lesson, maybe a little more lighthearted? Boaters with anchoring mishaps are never alone. The Lees discovered that the day after their incident, when members of their yacht club shared anchoring tales, some more distressing than their own.

Anchoring, like so many facets of boating, is a process that requires careful consideration, planning and practice. Predetermined hand signals are vital.

6

Luckily, Ed and Barb had theirs worked out, because the batteries in their radio units were dead. Knowing who’s going to operate the boat and who’s going to handle things on the bow is another key piece of intel. Once again, the Lees knew ahead of time who was going where, so any potential irreversible problems were avoided. Having a cat that’s attuned to the boat’s at-anchor mannerisms is a bonus. I kid, partially, but in the Lees’ case, it was their cat that alerted them to something being “off.”

Seriously.

That’s all starting on page 22. Boat owners who haven’t thought about their anchoring plan will probably give it some consideration after reading the story. A couple doesn’t want to meet on the bow during an unplanned drift and wonder who in the heck is supposed to be driving the boat.

CARVER YACHT OWNERS CAN BOAT WITH CONFIDENCE. AND THAT’S OUR PROMISE. To build a boat is a very complex undertaking. In fact, not many boat builders actually build their boats. It’s more of an assembly process, with large numbers of components sourced from other vendors and put together at the plant.

To maintain the highest levels of quality control, reliability and structural integrity, Carver manufactures and produces most of its components in-house, assuring each customer the finest production boat available. What’s more, Carver’s Class B rating means its yachts are built to navigate as far out as 200 miles offshore and sustain Force 8 winds and waves up to 13 feet.

No wonder Carver Yachts is taking the marine industry by storm.

Sea trial one at your Carver Yachts Dealer today. We promise you won’t be disappointed.

Carver Yachts Promise Every Carver Yacht owner has my personal pledge that we will provide whatever support is necessary to ensure the finest ownership experience in boating. As a Carver owner, if you ever have a problem that cannot be remedied by your local dealer, I promise that the right technical experts will be assigned to aid that dealer in solving your problem.

I invite you to take a closer look at Carver and see the difference.

LEAD BOAT

40 OPEN

Sunreef Power Day Cat

Sunreef ’s latest is a 60-knot, 41-foot catamaran with a penchant for dayboating.

S

unreef Yachts has made its reputation building larger catamaran yachts — mostly 60 feet and more — both power and sail.

Its latest model runs counter to that, measuring just less than 42 feet, but the 40 Open Sunreef Power translates the builder’s expertise in multihull construction into something smaller and definitely interesting.

The 40 Open comes in two iterations: day cruiser and foiling speedster. The former is inboard powered, while the latter is an outboard boat. Inboard power is supplied by twin engines that range from 425 hp to 1,100 hp; outboard power comes via twin 627 hp, four 300 hp or four 400 hp power plants. While the first hull is still under construction as of press time, Sunreef predicts both models will have a top speed in excess of 60 knots. The foiling version will glide above the water when its speed exceeds 25 knots, utilizing retractable hydrofoils, which will result in negligible drag and impressive fuel efficiency.

On both versions, two large sunpads occupy the aft cockpit, one a two-person platform and the other fit for three. A seatback swings aft to create a bench seat out of the forward section of both sunpads; in the forward position, it serves as a headrest for sunbathers. The aft half of both hull sides swing outward and down to create more deck space when the boat is at rest. Triple captain’s chairs face a covered helm that includes touchscreen MFDs for full boat control.

The bow can include a sunpad, which creates room for a cabin between the hulls, or it can feature a seating area with nearly wraparound seating and a couple of tables. The twin hulls can be configured for heads, cabins and utility areas, so the seating area forward might be the preferred choice, especially in the day cruiser model.

The Catamaran Co. (catamarans.com), with locations in Seattle and San Diego, is the Sunreef representative on the West Coast.

Treasure Island Treat Treasure Island sits in San Francisco Bay at about the midpoint of the Bay Bridge. On it is a winery that’s unique, even in an area full of wineries.

Sottomarino Winery is on the south edge of the island, and its tasting room is housed in a submarine. OK, it’s actually in a former static damage control trainer that’s been landlocked for its entire existence, but it still looks and feels like a World War II vessel, because the winery repurposed the space rather than redoing it completely. The winery (sottomarinowinery.com) is walking distance from Treasure Island Yacht Harbor, which has guest docks.

USS Potomac was commissioned in 1934 as U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Electra before serving as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidential yacht, aka the Floating White House, from 1936 until FDR died in 1945. The 165-foot-long National Historic Landmark recently emerged from drydock with a clean bill of health and is back on the water keeping the past alive.

Oceans Apart from the Rest

After almost six million documented ocean miles, no production motor yacht or any other builders’ motoryachts combined can come close to matching the incredible accomplishments of our Nordhavns. Consider the following facts; • Over 150 Nordhavns have successfully crossed the Atlantic, Pacific and/or the Indian Ocean

• Eight Nordhavns have successfully circumnavigated the world • Four Nordhavns have rounded Cape Horn – multiple times • A Nordhavn 40 holds the world record for the fastest circumnavigation by a production power boat of any size • A Nordhavn 68 has traveled fur ther Nor th than any private motoryacht – to 81 degrees 27 minutes nor th • A Nordhavn 57 has transited the Nor thwest Passage from East to West • South Georgia Island has been visited by only one production powerboat – a Nordhavn 63 • RELIANCE , a Nordhavn 76, has visited the continent of Antarctica

• The largest fleet of production powerboats to cross the Atlantic in convoy – not once or twice but three times • Dozens of nor th - south transits of the South China sea • Dozens of east - west Mediterranean transits • At least three Australian circumnavigations

If you dream of safe and comfor table worldwide Adventure Cruising without limitation, you will conclude, as have the world’s most accomplished cruisers, there simply is no better choice than a Nordhavn.

Award-winning design and ocean-crossing range find a home in one near-100-foot yacht.

An artist’s rendition illustrates what the expanded Marina Puerto Escondido will look like.

NEW & IMPROVED MARINA PUERTO ESCONDIDO

THE MARINA NEAR LORETO BENEFITS FROM AN OWNERSHIP GROUP THAT LOVES TO GO BOATING.

B

OATERS WILL BE glad to know that the new owners of Marina Puerto Escondido — brothers Jeff and Curt Hamann and partner Enrique Salcedo — are experienced boaters.

Jeff Hamann and his family are well known in the U.S. commercial construction and property management industry. Hamann Group specializes in “green buildings” that incorporate the latest in renewable energy and sustainable technology. Located in San Diego, the group manages about 5 million square feet of commercial property around the U.S. Southwest.

“My love for boating and fishing in Baja really started while I was still in junior high school,” Jeff Hamann said. He said he and his father, Robert Hamann, used to travel all around Baja, often in their Piper Cherokee Lance. He recalled flying down to Loreto and landing in the river bed, where he and his family stayed nearby at Ed Tabor’s Flying Sportsman’s Lodge. The Hamanns later cruised Mexico and visited Puerto Escondido in

their 50-foot Prout Quasar catamaran, Gloriamaris.

The Hamann family has a long and happy relationship with Puerto Escondido, so purchasing Fonatur’s massive property there was a natural evolution.

Enrique Salcedo, who served as president of the Mexican Marina Association for the past two years, is the Hamanns’ partner in Marina Puerto Escondido.

He graduated with a degree in business administration from the Tecnologico de Monterrey in Guadalajara and started working in his family’s business in the latex industry in 2005.

“Then we started building real estate developments in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Our partners, the Hamanns, have been family friends for 15 years,” Salcedo said.

“We’ve always loved the ocean since I was very young. We went to the beaches every holiday, and I loved to go fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing and all those fun activities.”

MARINA PUERTO ESCONDIDO The naturally enclosed 1-mile bay at Puerto Escondido — at the center of the vast Loreto National Marine Park and 15 miles south of the town of Loreto — serves the Sea of Cortez boating community as a summer hurricane hole, and year-round the marina facilities attract boaters to the fuel dock, boat repair yard, marina slips, moorings, launch ramp with parking, dry storage yard and, nearby, the Tripui RV park.

This property was one of Mexico’s “chain of marinas,” developed in the 1980s by Fonatur (National Fund for the Fomentation of Tourism), which created the oval Ellipse basin with a concrete launch ramp and a municipal water supply.

To stabilize the entrance channel from the Ellipse into the main part of the bay, it built a lighted breakwater. Ashore it laid a grid of paved residential streets, about 20 blocks worth of building lots that have never been developed. In the tidal zone, Fonatur carved several navigable boat channels, lined with concrete sea walls, that formed two new islands — all in the southwest corner of the Main Bay. Today the Main Bay contains Fonatur’s fairly new 20-slip marina, plus an even newer enclosed marina with 35 slips behind the boatyard. Out near the “Windows,” boaters can rent one of 37 recently upgraded mooring buoys, including five larger moorings for boats up to 100 feet.

of the everyday operations of the very active marina, fuel dock and boatyard.

The boat repair yard has several buildings and a 50-ton Travelift, a large dry storage yard with a concrete floor and covered boat storage.

IMPROVEMENTS The 250-foot-wide entrance channel between the Ellipse and the Main Bay is being dredged to 13 feet at zero tide.

“We will be putting in approximately 80 more full-service slips (100-, 50- and 30-amp power, water, Wi-Fi) for boats up to 200 feet,” Salcedo said. Planned to be completed by November 2017, the new Canadian-made slips will extend north and west from the existing marina docks in front of the marina office buildings. A

Waicuri

The native people of southern Baja California called themselves “waicuri,” referring to their language, culture and their close connection to the land and sea around them, including their favorite spots for fishing, gathering clams and hunting. Geologists believe the Waicuri people may have built up the bay’s natural Windows with more rock in order to create the sheltered waters.

The Spanish, in 1739, named this bay Puerto Escondido, or Hidden Port, because steep hills and rocky peaks obscured any entrance to a bay to anyone who approached by sea. Father Junipero Serra built the first of many Jesuit missions in Loreto. In Loreto’s Museum of the Missions of Baja California, a diagram reports that the native waicuri or guaycuri people referred to the dramatic 600-foot mountain peaks overlooking the bay as the giant woman, or in Spanish, La Giganta.

The waicuri spirit still embodies the close ties between man and the natural world. It’s La Giganta’s 600-foot peaks, together with the low Windows, that protect boaters in the bay from Northers in winter and from hurricanes in summer.

new floating concrete breakwater made in Ireland will protect the new slips, Salcedo said.

Shoreside, the new owners bought all of Fonatur’s signature two-story blue-glass buildings, which house the marina office, a grocery store, two restaurants, a laundry room, showers, a cruisers’ library, an art gallery and a swimming pool with a patio lounge.

“The fuel dock will stay where it is presently located, but it might be lengthened,” Hamann said. In the marina’s second phase of expansion, new docks and slips may also be built in the Ellipse, to be overlooked by upscale condos with shops and restaurants on the ground floor.

RESIDENTIAL “We plan to have nice custom homes on one of the islands,” Hamann said. Artist renditions show 19 lots on the island formed by existing canals, each lot with a private dock for a boat up to 100 feet LOA. The residential phase is to include a beach club with a restaurant, spa and gym for homeowners, plus a boutique hotel and condominiums.

The second island could be developed for residences as well.

The model canal-front homes shown on the marina’s website look very much like those presently lining three residential boat canals at Cabo Blanco Marina in Barra Navidad, Jalisco.

LO N G N I G HT I N Around 2 a.m., the agitated meowing of our cat, Lotus, woke us. She was not happy with the boat’s motion and the wind’s howling. We found the wind had come up out of the southeast and was funneling into Fossil Bay with a vengeance.

Something did not seem quite right. We were tailing off our anchor at a right angle to the way all our friends’ boats were hanging from the mooring balls behind us.

REALIZED THE WIND AFFECTING US was

entering Snoring Bay, a small inlet just to the north of Fossil Bay, streaming over its shallow headland and then turning to take us on the nose.

The action had the effect of pushing us toward the boats on the nearby mooring buoys.

We had about 75 feet of chain out to handle the eight-foot depth plus the expected eight feet of additional depth at high tide. Given our five feet of bow over the water, we already had less than 4:1

scope. With the wind rising and the odd angle at which it was hitting us, we were being pushed within about 40 feet of our friends in a 32-foot American Tug on a mooring buoy. They were awake, too, due to the wind, and were flashing lights at us to make sure we knew what was going on.

The situation was chaotic: wind blowing, waves slapping and us in our pajamas moving the boat in the dark of night! Barb started the engines; now, anyone who had been sleeping was awake and wondering what the heck we were doing.

This was not the way we wanted to introduce ourselves to our new yacht club friends.

MY WIFE, BARB, AND I had finally made the “jump” and moved aboard Still Waters, a 48-foot aft-cabin cruiser. We planned to live aboard while we explored the Salish Sea, a combination of Puget Sound in the U.S. and the Strait of Georgia and its surrounding waters in Canada. A few months after moving aboard our new floating home, we prepared for our first long cruise, scheduled to begin in Fossil Bay on Sucia Island, part of the beautiful San Juan Islands group in Washington state. We didn’t know we were going to get more than we bargained for right away.

The yacht club we’d recently joined was hosting its annual Shrimp Boil cruising event, with more than 20 boats committed to attend. We planned to be there and then continue north through the Canadian Gulf Islands for another six weeks before returning to our homeport in Blaine, Wash.

Fossil Bay is a small inlet that’s home to two docks in the summer and 16 mooring buoys year round. The bay, though shallow, is a popular cruising destination that fills rapidly on the weekend. Our plan was to arrive early on Thursday, grab a spot at the dock and move out to anchor when our event hosts arrived on Friday afternoon, so they could have the dock spot.

Early Friday morning, as the tide receded, we noticed we could already see the bay’s sand-and-mud bottom. About 10 a.m., we decided we better move off the dock, since

only three feet of water was under the keel and a minus three-foot tide was still hours away.

We fired up the twin diesels, moved out about 400 yards and tucked in between Harndon Island and the west finger of Wiggins Head. Once we were comfortable with our set, we took a short dinghy ride back to shore and spent the day hiking the great trails on the south end of Sucia that surround Fossil Bay. During the course of the day, most of our other club members arrived. Owners with smaller boats took dock space while others grabbed mooring buoys or anchored. As evening arrived, everyone enjoyed “docktails” and engaged in lively conversation. Dinner was scheduled “on our own,” so we shared a meal of mussels and Andouille sausage with friends on the aft deck of Still Waters.

After too much delicious food, we turned in for the night. Calm winds and small ripples on the beautiful waters of Fossil Bay lulled us to sleep. Little did we know we were to enjoy short sleep and endure a long night!

Still Waters and its owners rest easier now with a new 70-pound anchor.

WITH THE ENGINES STARTED after our 2 a.m. feline wakeup call, we were ready for action. As we normally do when moving the boat, we donned our headsets — only to find the batteries were dead. I had not charged them. Luckily we had developed a system of hand signals to help with this type of situation.

The sky was moonless, so we needed some light. I flipped the switch to turn on our bow-mounted spotlight, which I hadn’t tested before we set out, so, of course, it didn’t light.

Headsets dead. Spotlight out. We had two strikes against us.

With no working spotlight — I later learned there is a switch on the helm dashboard that needs to be switched on for the spotlight to work — I grabbed a flashlight and headed for the bow to raise the anchor while Barb attempted to keep us away from the rocks. We intended to re-anchor, but the wind, waves and current kept pushing us toward the rocks that surrounded the small island close to our port side. Barb was diligently trying to keep the boat away, but the starboard engine decided it wasn’t warm enough and quit.

She got it restarted right away, but we were precariously close to the rocks. Both of us were getting nervous, which was exacerbated by the low visibility and our lack of experience on a new boat. We decided to get out of there and anchor at the head of the bay where SEAMAGAZINE.COM SEPTEMBER 2017 25

+ Sea feature Cruisingr.indd 25

7/28/17 7:46 AM

there was more room. I secured the anchor on deck and headed to the helm.

With Barb using the flashlight for visibility, we rotated around — thank goodness for twin engines — and maneuvered through the 10 or more boats anchored between us and deeper water. Once there we had more room; however, we were more exposed to the wind being funneled into the bay and the waves, which were cresting at two feet. Anchoring was a challenge.

After two attempts, we felt we had a good hold and shut down the engines.

Exhausted, dazed and scared, we marked our spot on the GPS and took visual sightings of shore. After watching anxiously for about 20 minutes, we fell into bed for a restless sleep.

ABOUT 5 A.M. — the crack of dawn — Lotus (our newly christened “AnchorWatch” cat) was again letting us know she was not happy. The sound of the waves and wind had not abated; she did not like something else. As Barb looked around, she noticed the boat had moved quite a bit into the bay. She got me out of bed. We surveyed the situation and realized we were definitely dragging anchor. We later discovered our old CQR knockoff plow anchor weighed only 47 pounds. We now have a 70-pound Delta and sleep well at night.

Once again she started the engines as I stumbled to the bow to handle the anchor. As I was bringing in chain, I noticed we were floating past an empty mooring buoy. I made a command decision and yelled through the wind for Barb to grab the buoy. She quickly grabbed the boat hook, made her way to the cockpit and, while hanging over the cockpit in her pajamas, was able to snag the buoy’s ring. I ran to the cockpit and looped a line through the buoy ring. With the line on the buoy, I made my way to the bow.

Barb was thinking, At our first cruising event with the club we didn’t expect to be the main entertainment.

Luckily, the wind was pushing the

buoy slowly down the side of the boat; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to control it. I made the line fast on the bow cleats and we were stabilized on the buoy.

Our schedule showed an 8 a.m. breakfast with the group. With only a few hours left of a very long night, we dragged ourselves to the master stateroom and fell into bed. Alas, the sun was coming up and sleep was not possible despite our being totally frazzled by the night’s experiences. We got out of bed, made coffee and watched the sunrise. We missed the 8 a.m. breakfast call but managed to get there an hour later and still get some chow. Obviously, everyone wanted to know what had happened, so we had to relive the night’s embarrassing string of events.

We discovered an important trait about our fellow club members — and boaters in general. Everyone was very understanding and sympathetic because

Despite a rough start, the visit to Fossil Bay was enhanced by a hike on Sucia Island’s trails (left) and seeing goslings above the bay (right). Anchoring successfully off Harnden Island was a bonus, too.

of their own boating experiences. The stories began to flow and soon we were laughing and feeling much better. One member recounted going to bed peacefully in a Jones Island anchorage and waking the next morning adrift off Friday Harbor — a 4-mile drift! That easily topped our story.

We spent a wonderful day with our new friends, getting to know them and learning about cruising experiences that excited us. Even with all the new acquaintances and fun stories, I won’t deny we were still haunted by our ordeal of the previous night.

LATER IN THE DAY we returned to Still Waters and were preparing for the evening get-together when a park ranger came by and asked how long our boat was. “Forty-eight feet,” I told him, honestly. He told me we would have to move, because the mooring buoys have a 45-foot length limit.

I explained the previous night’s events to the officer and asked if we could have a reprieve. He explained the rule was due to weight and ground-tackle limitations, and the weather was still unsettled. We would have to move. We thanked him and went inside to prepare for the move.

Barb was beside herself; I was not far from that. After the experience of the night before, we seriously questioned the sanity of our cruising plans.

Our previous boating experience, albeit somewhat limited, had been incident free and very enjoyable. Some of that could be attributed to good planning and execution, but we knew then that it also had involved a great deal of luck!

However, the job at hand had to be done, so we steeled ourselves as Barb once again started the engines. We dropped the buoy and moved to the mouth of the bay’s deeper water to, once again, set anchor. This time it worked and we had a good hold for the next two days.

We went back to shore for lunch — the last club event for the rendezvous — and said our good-byes. Returning to Still Waters, we prepared for the continuation of our two-month cruise through the Canadian Gulf Islands.

Since our Fossil Bay ordeal we have completed more than 3,000 miles of Pacific Northwest cruising. The waters that comprise the Salish Sea hold many challenges for boaters. Changing weather, downslope winds and large tidal ranges that can create currents faster than 18 knots through narrow channels can surprise the unwary! Even given the adventures we shared in Fossil Bay and others since, we agree that the positives have far outweighed the negatives.

bilge pump mount // grid’s rant

MOUNTING OPTIONS

BY CAPT. FRANK LANIER

Q The factory bilge pump in the engine bay of my Chaparral still works but the base mounting plate is broken. There’s no direct replacement, and the closest newer model only shares one of the three mounting holes. I’m concerned with drilling holes into the bottom of the boat. What should I be aware of when mounting this new bilge pump where the old, tired unit I’m removing currently lives?

Casey A., via SeaMagazine.com

There are a number of ways to address this. One would be to use thickened epoxy to seal the two screw holes that do not align with the new bilge pump base, then simply drill two new screw holes into the bilge using the new pump base as a guide and seal against water entry during installation. Of course, you’d want to inspect the area to the extent possible prior to drilling. If the screws used to mount the new pump are the same length as the old ones, you should not have any problems (assuming there were no issues with the old ones, of course).

If you simply cannot bring yourself to drill new holes, another option is to cut and mount a small piece of plastic marine lumber — aka HDP (high-density polyethylene) — large enough to fit the new pump on.

Use the existing screw holes to mount this to the bilge,

THEEXPERTS then mount the pump on the HDP. The disadvantage to this option is that it will lift the pump base slightly, likely reducing the pump’s ability to remove every last drop of bilge water. To minimize this, use the thinnest marine board possible that will provide sufficient bite for the bilge pump mounting screws to hold the pump firmly in place. Depending on its configuration, you may have to counter sink the screws used to mount the HDP, to allow the new pump base to sit flush.

An even simpler option (depending on the new pump base) might be to simply drill two new holes in the replacement bilge pump mounting base to match the existing holes.

MEXICO CHARTERING

BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

Q Is it possible to bareboat charter in either San Carlos or Guaymas?

William Bonnheim, via SeaMagazine.com

No regular bareboat charters are in operation in either San Carlos or Guaymas, since the Fonatur marina in Guaymas was destroyed last summer — at least none that I know of. Nothing like the Moorings, sorry. However, check out getmyboat.com/boat-rentals/ san-carlos--sonora. It had one sailboat for about $1,800 per day, and a few sportfishing boats that come with a skipper with local knowledge that you can rent by the day. Boat theft and drug transport is what I’m told are reasons why bareboat charter companies 0.125” bleed face such extreme restrictions in parts of Mexico.

THEEXPERTS times seven days a week times four straight months — with two-and-a-half months of triple-digit temperatures plus humidity — were a killer. Read that again. I don’t care who you are, that’s a lot of heat!

One day when I slipped home to refill the cooler, I saw the digital thermometer registering 116, so I took a picture and sent it to my friend Zach Daniel, chief meteorologist at Richmond’s WTVR. He replied, “But that’s in the sun.” For once in my life I didn’t respond. What would I have said that would have been printable? What would you have said? During my winter’s reading I finally discovered that heat temperatures are recorded in the shade.

I’m joking, right? Nope.

So when I’m bustin’ hump trying to reinstall the carburetors on a V-6 OMC bobbing at its mooring where the sun not only beats down mercilessly but also bounces merrily up from the water, it’s not an excruciating 116 degrees but a balmy 90? Think about this scenario: The Nurse opens the front door.

breathe as I stripped to shower. I heard Zach on the TV. MaryLou said, “Honey, Zach’s wearing shorts and a pullover because the temps broke a record for this date.”

Nurse Kerr, hand to mouth, tears welling (from the smell of fresh-cut onions): “Was it from working in that 116-degree heat?”

JEANNEAU NC 895

A NEW CONCEPT GETS AN OUTBOARD REDESIGN BUT KEEPS ITS PERFORMANCE CHOPS AND WEEKEND CRUISING ABILITY.

T

HE STEADY ROAR of twin Yamaha F200 outboards. The whipping wind caused by our 44 mph top speed. The thrill of a sporty lean during hard turns. I was enjoying the ride in the cockpit of a Jeanneau NC 895, and I knew it was going to be fun to drive once I had my chance. I was right.

Standing at the helm proved to be problematic for my six-and-a-half-foot-tall self, because my line of sight was above the top of the windshield, but the bolstered captain’s chair was a comfortable perch on which to sit, drive and see, so operating the boat was easy. The sport wheel and the engine controls are side by side on the lower angled portion of the dash, with trim tab and bow thruster (yes, a bow thruster) controls in the same neighborhood. On the flat middle section of the dash are a cupholder and the Fusion stereo head unit.

On the angled upper section, a Lowrance HDS9 display and a Yamaha engine display keep the captain apprised of what’s going on in and around the boat.

expect from a 30-footer. A small galley unit — a two-burner stove and a sink — is built into a console to starboard and under a lid that serves as a countertop when lowered.

A refrigerator is housed in the base of the captain’s chair. A dinette sits to port and the helm is forward of the galley.

The dinette is versatile, a trait that owners will appreciate. It consists of two doublewide bench seats facing each other on either side of a high-low table. With the table lowered and filler cushions in place, it can be a chaise lounge or a berth. The backrest on the forward bench swings fore and aft, so the bench can become a forward-facing companion seat.

COMFY CONFINES

Down a set of centerline steps and in the bow is the stateroom. An island berth — close to queen size but tapered a bit at the foot to provide room for people to move along its sides — dominates the space and has storage in the base. Long hull windows and an overhead hatch keep the space well lit, and six cabinets built in along the hull sides at eye level provide ample storage.

Direct and indirect LED lighting provides nighttime illumination.

A door to the sidedeck from the helm, twin overhead sunroofs, the bulkhead door and opening side windows ensure the cabin is well ventilated, and window glass all around ensures the NC 895 (the NC stands for New Concept) is well lit. The cabin house is offset to port slightly, making the starboard sidedeck slightly wider than the one to port.

The layout is about what one would

While room is limited on a 30-foot boat, Jeanneau made nearly every onboard space versatile, from the cockpit to the main cabin’s galley, dinette and helm, to the sleeping spaces.

A surprise can be found aft of the landing at the bottom of the steps. A second sleeping space is tucked beneath the helm and dinette area. Headroom over the berth is limited to sitting up, but it’s large enough for three adults or four or five children to sleep, making the NC 895 a definite weekender.

The head is to starboard of the landing and includes a Jabsco toilet and a sink. It’s a wet head with a seat that drops down over the toilet, for seating and shower supply placement.

OUTSIDE The sunpad on the bow doesn’t come as a huge surprise, but it does further the theme of versatility. It’s made up of three sections. All three can lie flat. The head of the first (aft) section can lift to create an angled cushion for a sunbather’s head and back. The middle section can angle up, too, to create a backrest that turns the lower (forward) section into a bench seat. That’s a

versatile bow on a 30-footer.

In the cockpit, the sides of the C-shaped settee hug the transom, the port gunwale and the cabin’s bulkhead, creating a lounging and conversation space around a table in the great outdoors, which can be covered by a Bimini or left open to the sun and sky. Lower the table and add filler cushions, and the settee becomes a sun lounge, in case the bow is occupied. In a clever nod to the fact the boat is outboard powered, the aft section of the settee moves forward on tracks to make room for the engines when they are trimmed up and tilted forward to get the lower unit clear of the water. The settee remains intact, just slightly smaller, and the engines get a respite from the water.

The outboards don’t eliminate the swim step entirely. Smaller swim steps — call them platformettes — are to either side of the engines, and the starboard one includes an integrated swim ladder. A side boarding door is fashioned into the starboard

PERFORMANCE While the NC 895 isn’t a fresh-offthe-design-table boat for Jeanneau — it started under the Merry Fisher name — the outboard version is new for the North American market and takes advantage of Yamaha power in the form of twin F200s, which is the maximum power available for the boat.

A hard chine at the waterline and a couple of more below it help with lift and knock the water down, for a nice and dry ride. Those chines helped get the NC 895 out of the hole and to 20 mph in a fraction less than eight seconds (though Yamaha tests with fewer people on board recorded a time of 7.18 seconds). Turns were tight and stable, so trying to shake loose some tube riders or picking up a downed skier or boarder won’t be a problem.

I recorded some performance numbers,

but we had five or six people aboard, so the numbers were adversely affected. Yamaha tests yielded results that were similar but better (with only two people aboard), so what you read here are those numbers. Top

Given the current popularity of smaller pocket cruisers and the demand from consumers for outboard power, the French builder is probably on to something with the NC 895, which is the largest in the outboard line (the four inboard models are all larger). Its beam is less than 10 feet, so towing is definitely doable, its ride smooth and soft and its 106-gallon fuel capacity gives it good range for weekend excursions. Families and close friends who don’t mind sharing a smaller space will find the accommodations adequate and the comfort level more than sufficient, whether the wind is whipping by at speed or the anchor is attached firmly to the bottom of a picturesque cove.

NORDHAVN N96

AWARD-WINNING DESIGN AND OCEAN-CROSSING RANGE FIND A HOME IN ONE NEAR-100-FOOT YACHT.

I

N WRITING, REDUNDANCY is an undesirable trait, something to be avoided, a strategy that shouldn’t be practiced, an unwelcome attribute of storytelling, an exercise in overkill. But in boating, especially in long-range cruising, redundancy is key, and the Nordhavn 96 is rich with redundancy, from the engine room to the helm.

Each of the CAT C-18 diesels has dual fuel filters and strainers. Plus, as even more redundancy, the day tank includes a centrifuge system that spins water and other contaminants out of the fuel. All of that should put minds at ease during a crossing to Hawaii or the South Pacific. At the helm, the captain has access to Furuno Navnet and Nobeltec Timezero chartplotter software — displayed on one or more of five 16-inch MFDs (though owners have the choice of how to equip the dash) — in case one or the other encounters trouble.

Plus, there’s a backup computer in case the main one goes down and takes both charting programs with it. There’s more, but you get the idea.

While captains and crew get excited about features such as redundancy, it takes a combination of luxury, comfort, layout, design, safety, ease of operation, sociability and more to impress potential buyers and owners of other yachts. It appears the N96 has succeeded there too. In May our test boat, Lacey Kay, claimed top honors in the Best Yacht Design (25-40 meters) category at the International Yacht and Aviation Awards, a competition hosted by European

magazine Luxe et al and focused on innovative design.

MORE SPACE An expansion of Norhavn’s proven N86 — literally, as a 10-foot extension was added to the hull — the N96 offers more room in the crew quarters, the cockpit and salon, the skylounge or upper master (depending on the layout), and the flybridge. Owners who choose to have the upper master stateroom, such as on our test boat, enjoy a bit of expanded interior room for a king-size berth, multiple built-in lockers and bureaus, and an en suite head. But the real treat is the private aft deck — a lanai of sorts — which has room for chairs and a table, so owners can enjoy a quiet breakfast together or take in the sunset with a cocktail or glass of wine.

In the fully covered cockpit, the expansion was put to social use. A transom settee spans the space between the twin boarding doors from the swim platform, and two tables front the settee, each with three chairs around it. A gap between the tables allows people to access the settee itself. An L-shaped console with a stone

countertop abuts the main cabin’s aft bulkhead. It houses a grill and a sink up top and storage and a drawer-style refrigerator/ freezer beneath. A second console sits to starboard and includes more storage.

Cabinets are above both consoles.

Through a single watertight door is the salon, dining space and galley. Two sofas and four chairs ring the aft third of the space, while an eight-person dining table occupies the middle portion. Forward of that is the galley, which includes all of the appliances and tools any chef-wannabe owner or crew could need to prepare gourmet meals.

And, as one would expect from Nordhavn, the stone and hardwoods (both of which are cut at the boatyard), hardware, lighting and fabrics are luxurious, and owners can choose materials to suit their taste.

Occupying the forward quarter of the main deck is a stateroom. It’s owner-worthy, but on our test boat it’s the VIP, because the owner’s room is on the second deck. A kingsize bed faces forward, with nightstands to each side and a loveseat to port and a built-in bureau to starboard. A TV is built into the forward bulkhead, which serves as the aft wall of the en suite head.

BELOW Down a set of stairs just forward of the galley are the guest accommodations, three staterooms, all en suite, that share a landing. Tucked forward is a stateroom with twin berths in an L configuration. Aft and port is another stateroom with a queen berth, and to starboard is one with twin beds. The aft two have built-in nightstands, bureaus and hanging lockers. Portholes let natural light in, and LEDs provide soft anytime illumination.

ADVANTAGEOUS PERCH

While the foredeck is occupied by a 3,500-pound MarQuipt davit and a dinghy, tan seekers are not completely shut out.

Forward of the flybridge and out from under the hardtop is a sunning platform large enough for two chaise lounges. Inside the flybridge proper are twin built-in settees separated by a walkway to the sundeck. A six-person dining table sits in the middle of the deck. To both sides are built-in consoles whose contents make

From the pilothouse, the captain enjoys 270-degree views, and watertight doors to port and starboard ensure he can step onto the sidedecks quickly to see behind.

Plus, wing driving stations put the captain outside and to the appropriate side for docking maneuvers. Being up a level from the main deck also ensures the view over and to the sides of the bow is better than it would be from lower.

Aft of the helm and the twin captain’s

chairs is an elevated companion settee, a C-shaped unit wrapped around a wood table whose middle section folds open to allow better access to the seating. Drawers abound in the base of the settee and the elevated platform it rests atop.

The helm itself is a tribute to modern electronics and the aforementioned redundancies the yacht employs. Monitors and displays for the engines, the autopilot, the ABT-Trac hydraulic stabilizers, the compass and more occupy an overhead panel. The MFDs — custom on our test boat — are front and center, keeping everyone apprised of every system and instrument on the near-100-footer. The VHF radios, engine controls, computer system inputs, genset controls, entertainment system and more are close at hand, too.

ON THE WATER As this is a Nordhavn, we weren’t tearing around San Diego Bay at high speed, but that’s not this yacht’s mission. Its mission is to go far, and our tests bore that out. Our test boat’s fuel capacity is 9,200 gallons (7,000 is standard) spread across seven tanks, so its range is extensive. At 8.5 knots, the twin Caterpillars were burning a combined 10 gph, for a range of 7,038 miles (with a 10 percent reserve). Bump it up to 9.6 knots, at 1300 rpm, and fuel burn increases to 15 gph, resulting in 5,300 miles of range. We hit a top speed of 11.4 knots on test day. At that speed the engines are revving at 1820 rpm and burning 46 gph, dropping the range to 2,050 miles.

Slow down only slightly, to 11 knots, and range increases to 2,530 miles. Slow down significantly, to 7.3 knots, around 900 rpm, and range eclipses the 10,000-mile mark by 75 miles. Who wants to go slightly less than halfway around the Earth at its equator on one tank of fuel?

Our test boat had already been to Mexico and back before our sea trial, and it left for Alaska shortly after it, so the N96 has been put through its paces far beyond what we can accomplish in a day. We had the owner’s captain with us during the sea trial, and he had only good things to say about the yacht’s performance in all waters so far. And that’s a good thing, considering the vessel can reach nearly any waters on the planet.

LINDELL NAVIGATOR 42 VOLVO POD PERFORMANCE IS BACKED

BY RANGE AND COMFORT.

I

F ONE’S FIRST look at the Lindell Navigator 42 leads to the conclusion that the boat



would be a good platform for catching fish, that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Company owner Jim Lindell worked as a commercial fisherman in Alaska, where, according to company literature, he saw poorly built gillnetter boats and thought he could do better. So he did. And people responded.

Now, after forays with different boat styles and partners, Lindell, with business partner Brian Kott, is building under his own badge, with two models: Offshore 35 and Navigator 42.

With a fiberglass hull vacuum infused with vinylester resin, the Navigator 42 is light and strong, for withstanding offshore conditions and zipping from island to island. Volvo Penta power — either twin IPS 500 or 600 — pushes the 42 to a top speed of 42 mph, and the pod drives deliver at-speed control and around-the-dock precision. A comfortable 30 mph cruise speed yields about 1.3 mpg, for a range of more than 500 miles.

The main cabin includes a dining settee to port, a galley to starboard and an oversized captain’s seat facing a helm station that features a Garmin MFD and puts everything close at hand, including the Volvo joystick and Fusion stereo head. The cockpit provides about 182 square feet of fish-fighting room, which is good, because the fish hold can accommodate up to 6,000 pounds — a helluva lot of halibut. A second set of engine controls, including a joystick, is built into the starboard-side console, and an MFD lowers from the hardtop, so operating the boat during fishing time and docking are easy from the cockpit.

Belowdecks are two staterooms and a head. The owner’s berth is in the bow and includes a queen bed, a hanging locker, cabinets and storage under the island berth. The second cabin, also with a queen, is tucked under the helm and forward portion of the settee.

Lindell calls the Navigator 42 a sport utility vessel, and it can easily accommodate an all-day fishing outing or a weekend run to a quiet anchorage or a bustling island. Given Lindell’s past as a fisherman in Alaska, it’s probably a safe bet the 42 is overbuilt for either.

Whether you’re new to boating and apprehensive, or you’re an avid boater who wants the challenge of a larger vessel that goes farther and cruises longer, there’s no need to be intimidated by the complexities of the lifestyle and its equipment.

EXPANDING APPEAL 7 REASONS FOR BOATING’S

OWNING AND OPERATING A VESSEL HAS BECOME EASIER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR A WIDER VARIETY OF PEOPLE.

BY ZUZANA PROCHAZKA •

1. Propulsion

Volvo Penta IPS joystick

BOATING IS FINE BUT DOCKING IS TOUGH. Yeah, that may be written in

jest, but there’s some truth to it. That’s why joysticks completely redefined boat handling — possibly the toughest hurdle in boating — within the last few years.

With joystick control, owners can dock confidently, keep station while waiting for bridges to open or just keep the boat steady as the crew picks up a mooring. Close-quarters maneuvering gets easier with a joystick, and that fact may get more families and boats out of the slip more often. Today, joystick control systems are available with pod drives, straight shafts, sterndrives and outboards, and they make child’s play of wind, waves and current.

Wireless joystick remote units such as from Yacht Controller let a captain walk around the vessel while docking. Owners can manage lines and singlehand more easily.

Additionally, pod drives have set marine propulsion on its ear. These power systems eliminate shafts, struts and rudders and instead use directional thrust for better control and efficiency with the use of smaller and lighter engines. Not only can buyers become proficient with a boat more quickly, they’ll also save money with new fuel-sipping propulsion systems.

2. NAVIGATION

Simrad (1), Garmin (2) and Raymarine (3) offer crystal clear MFDs.

Marine electronics and navigation software constitute a visible and dramatic leap in onboard technology. This may be due to the fact that it’s all consolidated on the multifunction display (MFD) staring up from every helm. Nothing today even resembles how we navigated a decade ago.

Operators now interface with large, crystal clear multitouch screens complete with pinch-to-zoom capability and swipe technology that mirror

the apps people use on phones and tablets every day. Detailed cartography from C-MAP and Navionics with 3-D imaging and radar, weather and photographic overlays has become nearly ho-hum (but not quite). We have more information at our fingertips than ever, and some boaters can’t even remember the days of paper

3. Stabilization MAL DE MER KEEPS LOTS OF PEOPLE AT THE DOCK , and when guests are green around

the gills, nobody’s having fun. But vessel stabilization such as active fins and gyroscopes used to be expensive, large and difficult to install. Not to mention such systems were the domain of mostly large yachts. Not so anymore.

Seakeeper, manufacturer of sophisticated gyro technology, has developed products for boats down to 30 feet. Its M3 unit can be used on center console fishing boats, is just under $27,000 and weighs only 550 pounds. Even its larger systems have seen a 12 percent reduction in price with a 30 percent increase in performance, which purportedly reduces roll by up to 90 percent.

Stabilizers such as active fins have seen stable pricing but vast improvements in performance for the same money. Traditionally, fins have needed large gensets and hydraulics to run, and they’ve been excellent at speed but challenged to perform at rest. But this too is changing. For example, Humphree has eliminated hydraulics and the need for an AC genset since its units use 24v DC power with brushless electric servo units. Meanwhile, Side-Power’s Vector fin has a unique curved shape, designed to minimize energy loss from any swaying movement. The foil improves roll reduction by 50 percent at rest and 30 percent underway, while also reducing undesired yaw, which saves on fuel.

A steadier boat is safer for crew and cargo. The boat works less, so things break less, and when the inefficiencies of excess movement are reduced, so is fuel consumption. On a steady boat, people are less fatigued, and rested crew are nicer and make better decisions. So for boat owners who venture farther and anchor often with seasick friends and family, stabilization becomes essential rather than optional, and now it’s within reach on a variety of vessels.

charts much less celestial navigation (though paper charts are still the best failsafe).

Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno and Garmin have all upped the ante in computing power that brings lightning fast chart redraw, unprecedented levels of detail, and the ability to update software and cartography right from the boat via Wi-Fi. From yacht-style glass helms to nine-inch standalone units for small fishing craft, MFDs have proliferated at every level of boating as they combine navigation with systems monitoring, communications and entertainment.

Always with an eye toward usability, electronics manufacturers have worked to make these systems clearer, more readable, more intuitive and less cluttered, so new boaters with no experience and old salts with challenged eyes can get where they’re going.

1.

4. System Sophistication BOATS AREN’T YET AS ADVANCED as houses with their voice-activated personal assis-

tants. But digital switching systems by C-Zone and EmpirBus are coming close to creating this environment as they replace the traditional electrical panel and integrate systems, including lighting, alarms, and networked electrics, and offer a single-screen comprehensive interface.

Being able to come aboard and simply ask the boat to turn on lights, start the genset and A/C, and fire up the engines is not too far off. Digital switching lowers the bar on just how much boaters need to know about everything that is belowdecks.

Additionally, boat equipment has been made better and more reliable. It used to be a contest to name the boat system that was most notorious for failure. Top choices included refrigeration, autopilots, water-makers and outboards. But that has changed with more robust and easierto-use systems, including nifty refrigeration drawers, bulletproof self-steering and four-stroke outboards that start with one pull. Moreover, many systems are now powered by smaller, more efficient gensets and longer-lasting banks of AGM or lithium batteries. It’s simpler to keep everything working and powered up.

These advances have made it easier for different kinds of people — newcomers, people who may not be technically savvy and existing boaters who are gun shy about stepping up from a 30-foot center console to a 50-foot cruising yacht and its greater complexity — to engage.

Digital switching, whether on a C-Zone proprietary screen (1) or a Raymarine display (2), creates onetouch systems control

5. CONNECTIVITY

Perhaps even more of a hurdle than seasickness is the unwillingness of most people to unplug. If “getting away” doesn’t include losing touch with the office, or the kids can’t imagine a day without Instagram, then connectivity, or lack of it, will be a major detractor from boating. But take heart, because that’s all changing too.

Boaters are looking for the same experience at sea as at home. People expect to be able to surf the internet, engage in social media, and send email and texts freely, regardless of their geography. Satellite providers such as KVH and Intellian are making this possible even far offshore with greater bandwidth and cheaper satellite (hardware and airtime) costs.

Closer in, the internet now comes aboard via Wi-Fi and cellular booster antennas and then connects to everything else, sometimes via apps. Raymarine was the first to offer a Wi-Fi connection between the MFD and smartphones and tablets, effectively turning personal devices into repeaters that captain, crew and passengers carry around on deck. Furuno, Garmin, Simrad, B&G and Lowrance followed suit, so now one can control a Fusion stereo or Lumitec underwater lights from the chartplotter or a phone.

Maybe that’s why boats are increasingly becoming a reflection of how we live at home. Not only has boat décor followed home styles but more thought and technology have been put into comfort. Engines are now farther from living spaces and heads have been squeezed between master staterooms and machinery rooms to dampen sound and facilitate better sleep. Advanced materials proliferate throughout the boat to minimize noise and vibration, which will reduce fatigue.

Thanks to stronger and better materials, leak-proof windows and opening sunroofs that are larger than ever work to minimize claustrophobia and queasiness. More thoughtful layouts and separation of cabins, such as on the Prestige line of powerboats, provide greater privacy. And retractable seating — check out the Beneteau GT 46 or Azimut 50 — changes the boundaries between the indoors and outdoors and enhances flexibility.

Sun protection has come into sharp focus as people, both young and old, worry about UV exposure, so retractable shade options are popping up on vessels of all sizes, especially clever systems from Big sunroofs, such as on the Tiara 53 (1), hydraulic swim platforms from Azimut (2), Sea Ray (4) and others, and extendable sun shades like this one from Sabre (3) are onboard environment enhancers.

SureShade. Even flybridges have changed with the advent of modular outdoor galleys that mimic the way we entertain at home and advanced canvas materials that keep us boating nearly year round.

The proliferation of swim platforms has helped senior folks step aboard easily from a dock or dinghy. Also, people with decreased mobility can be lifted out of the water after swimming via a hydraulic platform normally used to carry the tender — no need to use ladders. Side gates, like the one on the Azimut Verve 40, allow wheelchair access onto an outboard-powered vessel that may not have an option for a swim platform. And singlelevel living from the cockpit through the salon and into the pilothouse means fewer steps to challenge unsteady toddlers or folks with older knees.

In a way, safety is an amalgam of everything already mentioned plus a few other features. If people are afraid, they won’t attempt much less enjoy an activity, so generating greater peace of mind is key. For example, being able to communicate with others, especially with rescue services if needed, provides a bit of comfort. Worries have been eased by VHF radios with digital selective calling (DSC), affordable position tracking devices such as SPOT and inReach, wearable personal locator beacons (PLBs) and advanced emergency position indicating radio beacons with built-in GPS (GEPIRBs) from ACR and others. Affordable satellite phone services from Iridium and Globalstar bring the comfort of keeping in touch far out at sea. Even personal flotation devices have become more comfortable and less intrusive with the introduction of lightweight inflatable harnesses for both kids and fashionable adults.

Another element of safety is keeping the vessel in good running order with timely maintenance that lessens fears of an on-the-water breakdown. Technology has made this easier. For example, VesselVanguard offers cloud-based maintenance management that keeps a repository of searchable digital manuals, spare parts, maintenance schedules and vendor contacts (e.g., your mechanic). This keeps the boat shipshape, since no chore goes overlooked.

Finally, for owners worried about the safety of their unattended boat, numerous vessel security products now keep tabs at all times. GOST and Yacht Protector are just two companies that provide packages of sensors and controllers to help monitor high water in the bilge, smoke and fire, low voltage, loss of shore power, temperatures in bait and food freezers, boarding and intrusion, and even vessel movement.

Whether the worry is personal safety or vessel upkeep and security, there’s really little to keep us land bound these days.

Take a look at old fishing photos. Typically, since men were the dominant gender in the fishing game, fishing boats were rudimentary at best. The hulls were wood or fiberglass (or aluminum — remember Striker?), bench seats were bare fiberglass or wood, there was a gin pole with block and tackle for hauling the catch over the side gunwale, and the electronics were sparse. Men were tough: They didn’t need fine furnishings or creature comforts (or didn’t think they did). A bunk with a foam mattress was high living for overnight canyon trips.

On many boats, a single engine was all there was to get the boat out and back. Lose it and the tow home could be a long one.

Today’s sportfishing boats are drastically different — better — than yesteryear’s battlewagons. From 35-footers to beasts of 70 feet and larger, fishing boats’ comfort levels are more akin to fine hotel rooms, with galleys equipped to make full meals and mezzanine seating for watching the battle. Hauling a fish aboard is easier thanks to transom doors, baits live longer in aspirated wells and power plants can get you there and back in record time.

MAKINGS OF A SPORTFISHER



The bottom line for any sportfishing boat is to raise fish. To accomplish that successfully and on a regular basis, many components must be finely tuned and work well together. And nowhere is that more critical than in the cockpit.

It’s no accident that the same boats win tournaments time after time or return to the marina with a catch that was “limited out.” Good preparation yields good results. During the fish dance, cockpits are the workplace. If things go wrong, not only does an angler risk losing the fish, but crew are at risk of getting hurt. In a well-thought-out cockpit, everything has its place.

Center to the equation is the fighting chair. Properly mounted to the boat deck (yes, I have seen several pulled out), the chair should be easy to enter and exit, it should swing around to follow the fish, and include adjustments for the backrest angle and the foot rest (used to push against, not to relax). An offset chair stem allows the chair’s swing to reach farther out, corner to corner.

No need for a chair? Then put in a center “rocket launcher” rod-holder system. It’s great for holding spare rods or for trolling a few at the same time.

Storage for gear such as gaffs, harpoons, rods, hoses, mops and more is paramount. Nobody wants this stuff in the way when a fish is on and the mad scramble of clearing lines begins. This is a fishing crew’s office, where business is conducted, and either won or lost.

Support Systems

Sportfishing yacht crewmembers know that time is of the essence when reels are screaming and lines are peeling. Having tools and tackle at one’s fingertips is essential. Many sportfishing boat manufacturers build in tackle centers in or near the cockpit, and they can include several drawers with variously sized compartments for lures, leaders, and hooks, a sink and a cutting board for bait prep. Some center-console builders include dedicated space for a tackle box and/or a cooler with tie-downs.

Bigger sportfishing boats have in-deck fishboxes that can include recycled sea water and drains. Nobody’s putting an 80-pound tuna in a sandwich cooler. Add in

FLARE

CATCHING ’EM FIRST



Flare is that little component of a hull’s design that can make or break the ride. Older sportfishing boats may have had it, but builders nowadays make it much more pronounced in cases where rough inlets or seas are the norm. Basically, flare is the angle where a boat’s vertical side of the hull protrudes outward horizontally to meet the foredeck.

Pronounced flare parts the sea well as it throws the water to the side, and it adds tremendous buoyancy to the bow, keeping it up and minimizing the chances of stuffing the pointy end into the sea. Flare can be found on large and small boats. For example, the Mag Bay 33 features bow flare, far forward and up high. Conversely, very significant flare can be found on the hull of custom sportfishing yachts like Jarrett Bay and Buddy Davis, as well as many others.

an ice machine, and anglers can dress and chill the catch at sea without having to rush back to the dock before fish begin to spoil.

More Than Fishing

Sportfishing boats today are a totally different breed than 20 years ago. First, there’s a need for speed. It’s not uncommon to see a center console equipped with three or four outboards — with significant

horsepower. In the tournament circuit, big money is at stake, so getting out first and back before the deadline is crucial. Also, if the first drop doesn’t produce, a boat and crew may need to run miles to the next honey hole to fill the boxes.

The bigger sportfishing machines feature engine rooms that pack heavy metal. It’s not uncommon to see twin V-12 MTU or MAN engines, producing up to 2600 hp



Before reeling them in and chilling them, anglers must catch the elusive prey first. When it comes to bait, most notable fishing authorities will agree that “fresh is best!” And the way to keep them alive and kicking is with recirculating baitwells, which can be an add-on (nice for center consoles) or customized into the transom or behind the fighting chair. Add in a window to keep an eye on the critters and a light for night viewing.

There are also bait tubes (or tuna tubes) that allow for a rigged bait to stay alive as sea water rushes through the tube. The tube prevents tangling with other baits within the livewell.

Additional features such as fresh- or saltwater washdowns, built-in coolers, control stations in the cockpit or remote control steering have changed the game.

FLYBRIDGE



Transiting to and from the fishing grounds can be a lengthy process.

Comfort for the captain is essential, but what about others? Many sportfishers today have added seating capacity around and close to the helm. Crew can stretch out on flybridge settees or padded bench seats around the helm.

Add in a wet bar with a refrigerator and a table, and the flybridge becomes the focal point.

can counterbalance the snap-roll effect of the ocean on a hull. Basically, it’s a fully contained roll-axis-dampening machine that’s mounted on the centerline in the engine room. A spinning gyro can reduce rolling significantly, which reduces feelings

of discomfort, fatigue and seasickness.

Leaders in the gyro stabilization field are Veem and Seakeeper.

That’s plenty of horses to get these platforms, some weighing more than 135,000 pounds, moving.

Steady As She Goes

One area of significant improvement has been in the stability of sportfishing boats.

Not by nature of a hull design change, so much, but by gyro. Not to get too scientific, but the rotation of a gyro (size and speed vary for size and type of boat)

Scout and other builders use multiple outboards for power.

Some livewells, such as on this SeaVee, feature windows.

5 (+1) COOLEST FEATURES Adding to the evolution are some cool new features on some battlewagons: 1. Fishing rod shower lockers 2. Bow thruster control buttons in the gear shifters 3. Bow baitwells for casting from foredeck 4. Underwater lights to attract baitfish 5. Pod-style helm station with single-lever controls Some diehard fishing fanatics believe that painting a school of baitfish on the bottom of the hull can attract big game. Not sure if that’s been scientifically proven, but if it works, that’s great. And if it doesn’t work, no one will know until the vessel is hauled.

WELCOME BACK One sportfishing brand making a comeback is Bertram Yachts. Best known for its iconic 31-footer, Bertram essentially shut down several years ago but has been resurrected and is producing a new 35-footer. Keep an eye out for a new model, around 60 feet.

Adding to its game, Tiara Yachts is back into the flybridge fishing game with 39- and 48-foot convertibles. These are added to the builder’s series of express models, tried and true through many years.

FOR THE HULL OF IT



It takes more than just raw horsepower to get an object moving through water. It’s also about how a boat slices through the water and gets up out of it that counts. Hull designs are key to optimal fuel efficiency and speed maximization. Modified- to deep-V hulls tend to get the best results but also tend to rock more. A sharper entry at the bow cuts the waves and allows a boat to maintain a good running speed. Decreasing the deadrise astern provides more stability but with a flatter running surface. Lifting strakes and chines do help to lift a hull out of the water; plus, they reduce drag and knock down spray.

why? For the most part, it’s people, men and women alike, who enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the reward of the catch. They are thrill-seeking, risk-taking people who many times are the same way in life. Many are corporate types and business owners who are serious during the day as well as when they fish. Their competitive juices flow during tournaments and calcuttas.

Not only can they win big money, but

bragging rights are many times priceless.

An owner with a large sportfisher will typically have a captain and a deckhand who will do everything on board, even transport the boat to the next tournament location. There, the owner will catch up with his boat, fish the event and then depart while the captain heads to the next tourney location.

Comforts

Today’s sportfishing machines are all about comfort. Some of the cooler features we’ve seen recently include: • Plush salons with leather couches, stereos, satellite TV • Fine woods, window treatments, carpeting, furnishings and well-placed lighting • Full berths in private staterooms • Heads with hot showers • Air conditioning

Appealing to All Big, sunlight-readable MFDs give Hydrasports owners an edge.

Mag Bay builds in convenient tackle stations.

FEEDING TIME



Sportfishing yachts don’t feature hotplates and stained sinks anymore. Most sportfishers have galleys where the chef (or chef du jour) can cook the tuna caught today for dinner tonight, while still fishing. Full-sized side-by-side refrigerator/ freezers or drawers, a microwave oven, a multiple-burner stove, granite counters and other appliances are pretty much de rigueur on high-end sportfishing boats. Many can accommodate china, crystal, and plenty of stores in large cabinets and pantries.

“luxury sportfishers.” It even builds a longrange cruising sportfisher. Builders know they need to appeal to the masses, and that includes the non-anglers.

The marketing materials from builders such as Maritimo Yachts and Riviera Yachts are revealing. They both use terms such as “luxury motoryacht,” “gourmet galley” and more, because they have moved beyond their fishing roots into the family yacht space. Both are built in Australia, so they can handle the seas, and even their more cruise-centric models are capable as fishing platforms.

Electronics have come a long way from RDF (Radio Direction Finder) and LORAN. Multifunction chartplotters at helms that could be found on luxury yachts allow the captain and crew to view charts, radar, sonar, video, TV, systems info and more, singularly or in combination.

Anyone who gets lost or hits something with a full electronics package in front of him is probably at fault.

FRIDAY HARBOR IS HOME TO ART, WHALES AND LOCAL FLAVOR. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

ON THE WEST SIDE OF San Juan Island, Friday Harbor is the largest town on the island and is the commercial and boating center of the San Juan Islands. Here visiting boaters will find a colorful harbor with plenty of amenities and spectacular views of the nearby islands, snowcapped Mt. Baker and the Cascade Range. There are plenty of things to do in Friday Harbor and many of them are within walking distance of the marina.

The town evinces a village feel, suitable for walking, and since the San Juan Islands sit in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, fair weather, even in winter, is distinctly possible. Besides charm, scenery and an unhurried pace, three things attract visitors to Friday Harbor: art, whales and the local food.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL Port of Friday Harbor 1 boasts a 500-slip marina with space available for more than 150 visiting boats ranging in size from dinghies to 150-foot yachts. The port also provides all the amenities boaters are looking for and has nearly 30 marine­ related businesses.

Fresh seafood is available in the marina at the bottom of the M-dock ramp, which is home to Friday Harbor Seafood 2 , owned and operated by Eric and Brenda Wagner. This floating shop is well stocked with live and cooked crabs, prawns, salmon, smoked scallops and tuna. Our favorite is the fresh-in-the-shell Kumamoto Oysters.

Fresh herbs offer best taste. Growing small containers of herbs is very easy to do and allows us to snip off the herbs as we need them.

Most herbs are sun worshipers. As expatriates of the Mediterranean region, most flavorful herbs don’t thrive in the un-Mediterranean environment and without adequate light. Herbs don’t tolerate less than four hours of direct sunshine a day.

ONBOARD HERB GARDENS NO ONE HAS TO GIVE UP THE TASTE OF FRESH HERBS WHILE CRUISING. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

CONTAINER

ARLENE ENJOYS COOKING WITH FRESH herbs. At home she has an herb garden just steps from the kitchen. As boaters spending months at a time on board exploring the coast of British Columbia, we have found it challenging at times to find fresh herbs the farther north we travel.

We are not professionals in the culinary field, but we know what we like, so a few years ago we decided to try and raise herbs on board. The first year we had some success by purchasing a small basil starter.

It supplied us with enough basil for the six-week cruise. Since those meager beginnings, the onboard herb garden has grown in size and we have learned what it takes to have a successful garden. We’ve received quite a few comments from fellow boaters and passersby about our little herb garden, and the bounty has been so good that we have shared herbs with other boaters.

The right herbs and seasonings can make any meal a gourmet’s delight. They become the chef’s ultimate secret weapon when cruising, as they can add zest or zing to canned provisions, add new life to leftovers or create a fresh taste for fish.

Gardening on a boat is a lot less strange than it sounds. More and more boaters are growing onboard herb gardens. A few years

ago we met a couple cruising the Canadian coastline who had taken the herb garden the next step: They were growing tomatoes and peppers on their aft deck.

We have had the most success with rosemary, oregano, tarragon, parsley and thyme. Basil is worth the struggle, but it needs additional attention, such as bringing

Regardless the size of a boat, space is an issue, and so is salt spray, so one has to get creative and seek out-of-the-box solutions for growing a garden. We grow our herbs in pots that can be moved around Easy Goin’. At anchor or in a marina, the pots are placed on the back deck or transom. We move them inside at night and when we’re running, to protect them from salt spray.

Make sure the container has a nice-sized hole in the bottom, so surplus water can drain away; herbs can’t stand to have their roots in soil that’s too wet. The shape of the container doesn’t matter to a plant, but size does: a larger pot dries out more slowly, so use the largest pot that’s practical. It’s better to combine two or more plants in a large pot than to use several little ones.

We purchase the soil and plants after crossing the border into Canada, to avoid any issues while processing through Canadian Customs. Herbs and soil are available in Ganges (Thrifty Foods),

Chemainus (Sand Piper Gardens & Glass) and False Creek (Granville Market).

SOIL, WATER AND FERTILIZER After sunlight, proper soil is the next most important factor in producing healthy herb plants. Gardeners talk about “soil,” but for containers, it’s actually better to use something labeled “potting mix,” rather than anything labeled “potting soil.” What is sold as “potting soil” is likely to be of poor quality, sticky and lack drainage.

Potting mix is lighter, made mostly of organic matter such as peat or composted plant matter, and designed to give container plants the texture and drainage they need.

Watering is not a trivial matter with herbs. In general, water less often and more thoroughly, and only when the soil is actually dry.

When the soil is dry to the touch, add water until it comes out the bottom of the pot. One word of caution, because the potting mix in a pot dries out quickly, high sunlight exposure and a constant sea breeze can contribute to a rapid transpiration rate.

That frequent watering tends to wash nutrients from the soil, so they need to be replenished with fertilizer. Supplementary feedings every couple weeks with a liquid seaweed (or worm tea) will maintain the nutrient level in the soil. Some potting mixes come with slow-release fertilizer already mixed in.

Herbs are all about leaves. It’s the leaves we eat in most cases,

Mention this ad for 1 0 % O CRUISAIR F F

not the flowers. So avoid using a fertilizer made to encourage flowers. And keep up with the harvesting to keep plants bushy and discourage them from blooming; often, blooming will change the flavor of the leaves.

Herbs vary in their needs. So make sure the plants combined in a pot require the same conditions. Rosemary, which likes drier soil, won’t do well with basil, which likes more water and fertilizer.

HARVESTING First, make sure to pick the herbs regularly and do it correctly. Do not pick from the base of the plant. Doing so encourages tall, lanky plants. Instead, pick the tips of each stem just above a pair of leaves.

Two new shoots will grow from each stem, creating a fuller plant.

Freshly picked herbs need to be kept moist and cool. Arlene layers them between damp paper towels and keeps them in the refrigerator. She does not seal them in plastic bags or plastic ware, because they become slimy. They will keep no more than two weeks.

COOKING WITH HERBS It’s usually best to add fresh herbs near the end of a dish’s cooking time. Fresh herbs, especially, can easily be overcooked.

However, some herbs such as bay leaves, thyme and rosemary should be added earlier, since their flavors increase with cooking.

For dried herbs, try adding about half the amount at the beginning of the cooking process and then add the rest at the end. When substituting fresh for dried, remember to use two to three times what the recipe calls for.

An herb’s flavor comes from the oils, which are released after the herb is crushed or crumbled. The best way to crush an herb is with a pestle or even crumbling it between one’s fingers. Cutting with a knife just leaves oils on the cutting board.

FINDING A HOME As I mentioned before, Arlene names the herbs and they become a part of the family, so during our return trip we have been lucky enough to find someone to adopt them. It is better than the alternatives — the garbage or burial at sea. The past two trips we have given them to a Victoria nursing student working a summer Wharfinger job at Westview Harbour in Powell River.

NEW KID IN THE WATER THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BOAT SHOW WILL FILL CABRILLO WAY MARINA WITH 200 BOATS IN LATE SEPTEMBER.

THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BOAT SHOW might be new, marking just its second run from Sept. 28 – Oct. 1 at Cabrillo Way Marina in San Pedro, but its lineage goes back more than 40 years, to when its producer, the Duncan McIntosh Co., founded the Newport Boat Show and, a few years later, the Lido Boat Show. Having replaced Lido as California’s big fall boat show, the SoCal show will continue doing what Lido did for 37 years, namely give attendees the opportunity to see new and brokerage boats, big and small, power and sail, in their natural setting: the water.

Cabrillo Way Marina is the show’s home, and it’s in a great location, next to SS Lane Victory, a decommissioned naval ship that now houses a museum; Ports O’ Call

Village, which is home to shops and restaurants; and Battleship USS Iowa, another decommissioned naval ship that’s now a museum. And attendees who take the 710

freeway from the 405 freeway can drive across the iconic Vincent Thomas Bridge.

Blue skies, mild temperatures and light breezes might be what make the show comfortable for attendees, but the boats are the stars of the show — big, small; new, used; power, sail; fast, slow; coastal, ocean-crossing; harbor cruiser, island hopper; planing, semi-displacement, displacement; monohull, multihull; shaft drive, pod drive, jet drive; flybridge, sedan. We could go on. The smorgasbord is complete with the addition of all the booths for boating gear — beds, charts, engines, towing services, tenders, accessories and more.

Attendees are going to see motoryachts, a pretty wide category of powerboat that includes fast and slow boats, pilothouse and flybridge boats, oceangoing and coastal SEAMAGAZINE.COM SEPTEMBER 2017

be slow and steady, able to reach places formerly reserved for the sailing crowd, and that’s still mostly true, though a couple of builders have used semi-displacement hulls and twin-engine installations to give the trawler some legs. Sedan trawlers, and a few of the tug-style boats, have taken the pilothouse out of the equation, moving the helm to the main deck and creating a one-level cabin that stretches from helm to cockpit.

Look for trawler and tug manufacturers such as Nordhavn, Selene, DeFever, Beneteau, Grand Banks, Kadey-Krogen and Ranger Tugs.

DAYBOATS A portion of the boating crowd boats by day and rarely stays overnight on the boat. Now, one can certainly dayboat on any vessel, but a boat purpose-built for that activity has its charms and appeal.

The most recognizable dayboats are mostly open but with a hardtop or Bimini, have a large cockpit with lots of seating and have a certain “look” — maybe East Coast, maybe lobster boat. In a nod to versatility, many have a forward berth, a small galley and a head. Don’t let the term dayboat lull you into thinking this class of boat can’t get to Catalina. Manufacturers haven’t skimped on modern propulsion. Traditional-shaft boats have modern, efficient diesels, and pod drives and jet drives are used by many builders, to maximize performance and space.

Some dayboat manufacturers that are likely to be represented at the show include Chris-Craft, MJM, Cutwater, Hinckley, Hunt, Sabre, Palm Beach and Tiara.

cruisers, and many, many more. Several manufacturers you will see in this category are Ocean Alexander, Maritimo, Riviera, Offshore, Horizon, Hampton, Johnson, Carver, Princess, Cruisers, Marquis, Mikelson and more.

What follows are other boat categories attendees are sure to encounter.

EXPRESS CRUISERS This style of boat has qualities from other styles, making it a bit of a Swiss army knife — large cockpit, single-level main deck, bow sun lounge, versatility and more. Express cruisers often have enclosed cabins, accommodations that include real staterooms and some even have flybridges, which is something that didn’t used to be the case. And don’t worry about the enclosed main cabin making things stuffy, because express cruiser designers have added large sunroofs to the hardtop, incorporated opening side windows whenever possible and created aft bulkheads that open most or all of the way. Cockpit seating is often covered by hardtop overhangs and extendable awnings.

A few express cruiser manufacturers likely to be at the show include Beneteau, CA-2

Someone who hasn’t checked out the interior of a fishing yacht recently might be surprised. No longer utilitarian spaces built more for equipment storage and small berths for catnaps, fishing boat interiors are well finished, comfortable, family friendly and, in many cases, cruise ready. Some builders have so changed the face of their fishing vessels that they no longer consider them to be in the category. Many of the traditional fishing boat attributes are still visible — large cockpit, lots of rod holders, maybe a fighting chair (some of them modern thrones), possibly a tower with a

MOORING CHANGES FOR REDONDO

A PRIVATE FIRM officially assumed

management control of Redondo Beach’s moorings on June 1. The management shift relieved the Harbor Patrol from mooring management duties; council members unanimously approved the shift at their May 23 meeting. Leonardo Management, which already manages Redondo Beach Marina and the harbor’s boardwalk area, was selected to manage the mooring field.

Council members and city staff hope the mooring field gets more use as it has not been used much in the nearly three years of its existence. They hope Leonardo Management will provide a marketing push to increase awareness of the mooring field.

He was a resident of Catalina Island for 55 years and he owned the Old Turner Inn Bed and Breakfast since 1989. People who lived on the island and frequent visitors to the island knew him and his love for dancing. After Hill’s 100th New Year’s Eve celebration, which he spent dancing, he caught a cold and never fully recovered. He was 99 years old.

NEWPORT BEACH NAMES HARBORMASTER

DENNIS DURGAN HAS taken on the

role of harbormaster for Newport Beach in conjunction with the new harbor management program, which began on July 1. The Chamber of Commerce Marine Committee welcomed Durgan at the June 6 meeting.

Durgan will monitor harbor-related activities such as boating, paddleboarding, noise level and public docks. Other plans include regulating standup paddleboarding as well as holding town hall meetings.

“Set up some town halls with all the yacht clubs, sailing clubs and get everyone’s input so we can make the harbor better — that’s our ultimate goal.” Durgan said.

The position is currently part-time but may evolve into a full-time position.

The second problem is that many lenders, who claim to be national, are really not but they do broker their loans through national lenders. Preferably, you want to find a lending partner who is local to your area and understands your market. You want a broker/lender that is experienced with the kind of boat you are purchasing but more importantly has the credit and experience to understand your financial profile.

With the internet, it seems like I should be able to find out what I need about any boat I might want to buy. What can a broker add to the equation?

SEPTEMBER QUESTIONS:

What’s the difference between getting my boat loan from a marine lender or getting it from a more traditional lender?

Financing your boat is not like financing your house or even financing your car. It is a specialized field of lending that only a handful of companies is engaged in and is supported by only a handful of lenders.

Although there are undoubtedly many local banks that will offer some sort of financing for boats, often these programs will have higher rates, limited terms and will limit the types and kinds of boats they will finance. These lenders will often have very limited experience in the handling of these kinds of transactions and as a result many problems may arise at the time of closing.

You, of course, can search the internet for a lender specializing in boat loans but you will run into two issues. One, many lenders who claim they are experts in boat lending really are real estate lenders



A conscientious broker will learn as much about the history of the vessel as possible, including information about liens, vessel registration and previous sales. This will give a prospective purchaser an advantage when it comes time to make the final decision. Racing successes, notable cruises, refits or modifications can provide worthwhile clues about the suitability of the vessel.

With so many types and varieties of boats available, a broker should be informed about basic design and capability of most makes and models. Some models can show up under a different name, a technique used especially by manufacturers outside of North America. Having a broker who can recognize basic designs will go a long way in saving you time and money.
