ADVERTISING MANAGERS

NEW DISCOVERIES ONE OF OUR GOALS at Sea is to get boat

owners to think about and then go to places they’ve never been. Cruising feature stories are the primary tool in the kit for inspiring such aspirations to go, see and experience.

Whether it’s the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Mexico, the Caribbean or elsewhere, Sea readers have been there and have been kind enough to share their experience.

Many times, cruising grounds closer to home pack plenty of inspiration. In fact, some feature-packed cruising grounds are bypassed in favor of other far-flung destinations before they are “discovered” to be their own brand of wow by cruisers. That’s kind of the case with this month’s story, written by Pam Bacich.

Bacich and her husband, Mick, had bypassed the Great Bear Rainforest more than one time — four, in fact — on their way to Alaska, so they decided to rectify that omission in 2018. They spent several weeks in northern British Columbia seeing what they’d been missing. And they found much to recommend the largest temperate rainforest region in the world: unspoiled forest, sparsely used anchorages, challenging and worthwhile dinghy excursions, fabulous fjords and amazing people. And spirit bears.

Place names such as Khutze, Kumealon, Weeteean, Kitasoo and Aristazabal dot the chart up there.

Pam and Mick saw so many beautiful places that they jokingly named many of

them JABAs: just another beautiful anchorage. But that doesn’t mean they got tired of seeing one memorable and magnificent place after another. Check out their story, beginning on page 28, and then think about some of the places you might be missing by being in a hurry to get somewhere you already know.

You may have already spotted something a little unusual about this issue. An outboard-powered boat, the Pursuit DC 365, graces the cover. In my nine years at the helm, we’ve had five such covers, and three have been in the last 15 issues. I guess it’s a reflection of an overall trend I wrote about a few months ago in this space. Outboards are getting more powerful and the boats they can power are growing, and builders, ever mindful of what customers want, are paying attention.

The other sea trial (page 24) features another outboard-powered model, this one the Back Cove 34O. (That’s an O for outboard, not a zero.) The builder designed a new hull to take advantage of outboard power and maneuverability instead of modifying its existing inboard hull design.

Don’t worry. We’ll still feature plenty of inboard-powered boats — more so than outboard models — but as the boat-building spectrum broadens, so will our coverage of it.

Hatteras GT65 Carolina

NEW DIRECTION, SAME DEDICATION

Interior volume and fishing amenities highlight the builder’s new direction for its GT line. the GT63 and the first model in a refresh of the GT line, the Hatteras GT65 Carolina boasts greater square footage in the cockpit, mezzanine and flybridge, and greater volume throughout the interior. Fans of the builder need not worry, though, because sleek lines and the gentlest of downward sheer sweep toward the transom make clear this is still a Hatteras.

Anglers — the first owners are hardcore tournament participants who are moving up from a GT63 — will appreciate the 194-square-foot cockpit and the built-in stainless steel storage boxes in the mezzanine. Seatback air conditioning on the mezzanine seat is optional. A rack of rod holders across the flybridge railing, more on the tower supports and outriggers ensure a group can have plenty of lines in the water.

A glass cockpit array of three flushmounted MFDs highlights a helm console that puts the wheel and engine throttles close at hand. Single-lever controls and a bow thruster are optional. Companion seating to both sides and forward of the console make the bridge a social space.

Inside, a large L-shaped settee, a dinette and three barstools at the galley counter provide plenty of get-off-your-feet spots after a long day fighting fish.

Belowdecks are four staterooms and three heads — the master is en suite — but one of the staterooms can be converted to a tackle room.

For maximum comfort during a long day on the water, twin Seakeeper 9 gyro stabilizers are an option. The first buyers have added custom features such as tuna tubes, a carbon fiber hardtop and buggy top, and a custom wood interior.

The first GT65 Carolina is scheduled to splash late this year.

AS A REPL ACEMENT FOR

The gentlest of downward sheer sweep toward the transom makes clear this is a Hatteras.

Fishing amenities abound, including a tackle room instead of the fourth stateroom, but passenger comfort is another focus aboard the GT65 Carolina.

A spawn of the notorious Race to Alaska (R2AK), the Seventy48 is a strictly human-powered race — canoes, kayaks, paddleboards — that begins in Tacoma, Wash., and ends in Port Townsend, a distance of 70 miles. The race concludes 48 hours after it begins, whether all, or any of, the teams have rung the bell in Port Townsend or not. The prize for first place overall is 60 percent of the collected entry fees ($100 buy-in for each team), and three other class winners and a Random Hero receive 10 percent. More than 100 teams competed in 2018, the race’s inaugural year, and registration is open for 2019 — race begins May 31, 2019. For more information, visit seventy48.com

MEXICO REPORT

By CAPT. PAT RAINS

Boat owners who make a multiyear trek to Mexico don’t have to fret about finding a boatyard to take care of annual maintenance or handle an emergency haulout. Twenty-three such yards are available.

was replaced. The first-timer continued his 1,000-mile voyage.

WHERE?

Ensenada is a nautical hub, so it has two very active boatyards. But the rest of Baja’s Pacific coast, unfortunately, has a paucity of places to get hauled out in an emergency.

So it’s wise to keep in mind exactly where they’re located, in case you need a dry dock pronto.

Just like in the U.S., not all boatyards are created equal. Some use a marine railway, a synchro-lift or 60-, 100- and 150-ton

YARD WORK

Cruisers have options when it comes time for a haulout in Mexico.

“UH OH! WE HIT something heavy. There’s a serious vibration!”

Quickly you shift the engine into neutral, grab a snorkel and slide overboard to see how bad it is. Dang. A gnarly “snag” is jammed between two prop blades, the skeg and the hull.

Plus, polypro line is wrapped around everything. Fifteen minutes later you’ve cleared it, so you ease the engine back into gear. Nope. The hull shudders with loud vibrations. In the engine room too much water is coming in the shaft coupling.

“Any vessel, this is Sea Witch looking for information about the nearest haulout yard. Sea Witch is standing by on VHF 68.”

First-time southbound boaters are often surprised to learn that 23 haulout yards are available along Mexico’s Pacific coast and around the Sea of Cortez. That’s not counting a couple of hundred launch ramp services and a few emergency haulouts from the Mexican navy.

For example, one first-timer’s 56-foot trawler started taking on water at an alarming rate. He was 30 nautical miles south of the Coronado Islands on the first leg of a 15-day Mexican cruise with the CUBAR group. Within minutes of discovering rising water in his bilge, he flipped through his nautical guidebook and used his cellphone to contact Baja Naval boatyard in Ensenada. The yard sent out a fast panga that guided him into the harbor and immediately into the Travelift slings. Within hours, the failed through-hull fitting

Just like in the U.S., not all boatyards are created equal.

Travelifts, while others have an 85-ton crane for hoisting out engines. Some specialize in TIG or GTAW welding; others have prop-straightening capabilities in different diameters.

Keep this list handy. In coastal order, I’ve listed where the boatyards are and how to contact them. Thanks to increased cellular and satellite phone services and HF email on board, most boaters find it fairly easy to check out the websites or call ahead to see what the nearest yard has.

Note that between Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas, the distance between haulout opportunities is about 690 nautical miles.

And in the upper Sea of Cortez, it’s about 260 nautical miles between the full-service yards at San Carlos and Puerto Penasco.

THE EXPERTS By GRID MICHAL

If you “sorta” gave the dinghy outboard a season-ending routine, now might be the time to give it the full treatment. Spring will be here soon.

OUTBOARD CARE

If you forgot to winterize the dinghy’s outboard, get to it.

“YES, DEAR.”

I can’t think of another phrase that sounds so definitive, yet can be followed by a more tentative “Uh-oh!” As in, “Honey, you’ve been gone all day winterizing the trawler. Sit down, let me bring you some shrimp and a stiff drink. Did everything go OK?” “Yes, dear.”

“You remembered to do the dinghy engine, too, didn’t you?”

“Yes, dear.”

At that point it’s too late to verbalize the word “Uh oh,” or any of the profanities a guy utters when he realizes he screwed up — and denies it!

“Out of sight, out of mind” is the phrase that comes to mind every time I see a dinghy. But that’s a mistake.

I often told the engine maintenance classes I taught that an engine is basically the same from brand to brand, two-stroke

or four-stroke, car, boat, prop-driven plane — you name it. You winterize your trawler or your runabout so they treat you to boating the next spring. You should have dealt with the dinghy engine in the same fashion, and for the same reasons. Rarely, however, does that happen.

If you have a large dinghy, use the davits to raise the boat high enough to be able to run the engine on a flush-muff. Run the engine on stabilized fuel, then disconnect the fuel line and run the carburetor dry.

Check the gear oil and change it if necessary. Lube the steering ram. That boat’s out in bad weather as well as good, and there’s nothing like loading everybody in it to head to the beach and suddenly finding yourself pointed toward England with seized steering.

If your dinghy transportation is small and you can easily remove the engine and hang it on the rail of the big boat, stick a

five-gallon bucket of water under it and run it until it’s well-flushed, shut off the fuel and run the carb dry, then take the little engine below to await the spring.

I’ll give you a couple of examples of unexpected engine wakeups that ended up in my shop. Maybe one will spur you to action: • A 2 hp two-stroke was laid to rest in the forward V of a sailboat. The powerhead was angled down. Water drained up the driveshaft, seized the bottom and center crank bearings, and seized the engine. The owner had to “lay it to rest” and replace it.

• A 4 hp four-stroke — decals all over it showed how to lay it down — was winterized and laid on the wrong side for its slumber. In the spring, the owner retrieved the engine from his big boat, installed it on his dory and panicked when he saw oil dripping from his engine. He had failed to tether himself to the main hull and found himself merrily answering the wind’s desires. He went to start the engine, but the cylinder was oil-filled and all he did was break his wrist. He bravely paddled one-handed, in a circle, until he was rescued. He and the rescuer hit the water when his good hand couldn’t hold on to the stern cleat while heading up the transom.

An observer claimed it looked like a “Roadrunner” cartoon. I took the engine, drained the oil, refilled the crankcase with fresh oil and started it on the third pull.

These little workhorses are as essential as the big engines that bring you to your destination. Storing the engine improperly doesn’t compensate for an excellent winterization.

GRINDING GRID’S GEARS

Taking My Lumps MY FIRST POINT IS, if it’s Sunday, go to church and take the rest of the day off.

God watches, and is vindictive if you elect to work on your own stuff. In true “Do as I say, not as I do” fashion, I elected to service the wheel bearings on our boat trailer. On a Sunday.

First, a little background. In 1996 I bought a new Dodge Ram 1500, the best truck I’ve ever had. I had a big crane installed in the right rear of the bed for hoisting engines. Everybody knew it was me, by the crane. I had it serviced every 3,000 miles and — not counting a transmission that bailed on me at 325,000 miles — I never had any serious problems.

So it was around 400,000 miles that I started thinking, “This engine sounds and runs great, but it won’t be long before it’s time to replace it, and that’ll be about $5,000. It needs a heater core now, and that’ll be about $2,000, and the shop will want $7,000 there and then. I might be able to find something to drive for that price that I can make payments on.” So I went a-lookin’. Lo and behold I found a 2003 Ram 1500 with 90,000 miles, the identical drive train and accessories.

A welder friend of mine, William, agreed to mount a crane in the corner of the bed. I got the crane, he did the cuttin’ and weldin’.

And a fine job he did.

Back to today: I should have pulled the boat out of its space where I could back up to it, but I didn’t. I should have been thinking about weight, but I wasn’t. Face it, I should have been thinking, but I wasn’t.

So, to assist the screw-jack, I pulled into the bean field and backed up to the boat, corner to corner, hooked a chain to the crane and the trailer, and started pumping the jack handle. Amid the creaks and groans from the truck I noticed the right front wheel was off the ground. I should have asked myself about the groans rather than noting the truck looked like a dragster. Making no progress getting the tire off the ground, I lowered the boat and borrowed a floor jack from the boatyard.

Hurricane be damned, I managed to

actually get one of two wheels done before the rain started.

I took the trash over to the dumpster, deposited it, then closed the tailgate. Or tried to. Generally when it gets stubborn I’ve left/dropped something into the bottom pivoting area. Nothing there. I put my back into it and up she went, making a mushy, clunky sound rather than a sharp,

satisfying “You got me!” I stood back and looked. The left side of the bed and, by default, the truck frame, stood out 2 inches away from the tailgate. The creaking and groaning sounds had manifested themselves. I had promised Willie no more than 600 pounds, and I’d be lifting that straight off the back of the truck, not the side. Oh boy — I’m in deep doo.

SEA TRIAL

By CAPT. TOM SERIO

PURSUIT DC 365 It’s a dual-console, outboard-powered, bow-seat-having weekend cruiser and fishing machine.

Tester’s Opinion

The Pursuit DC 365 can fill the needs of recreational cruisers and tournament anglers. Large console cabins and bow seating combine for a boat-design homerun. In addition, the ride is steady and the looks are sleek. The boat and its owner will be the envy of the marina.

20 SEAMAGAZINE.COM FEBRUARY 2019

+Sea Trial Pursuit.indd 20

12/31/18 10:09 AM

With lounge seating forward and fishing amenities aft, the DC 365 is a bit of a reverse mullet: party in front and business in back. And with a top speed of almost 53 mph, it can get to the fishing grounds in a hurry.

I’M GOING TO ASK for forgiveness up front. Understand, I don’t mean any disrespect to our forefathers, but there’s a line in the Declaration of Independence that I need to change for this story. The line concludes with “…endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” I think our founding fathers had it right. But after testing the new Pursuit DC 365, I proclaim the Declaration should be altered, a little, to “Life, Liberty and the happiness of Pursuit.” (Note to Pursuit marketing team: Feel free to use this, but I want my cut.)

All this because Pursuit really got it right with its new entry, the DC 365. The DC is short for dual console, and both consoles are usable insomuch that each contains a cabin under it. And there are numerous other surprises that make this a truly versatile platform.

TAKE NOTE

What’s most notable about the console/cabin combo is that the DC 365 also features open bow seating. Pursuit has performed an engineering feat to blend cabins and bow seating into one hull form.

The starboard helm console has a hinged access door with an actuated top panel that slides back as the door opens, creating headroom for folks going below. What’s revealed is not just a head compartment, though it is complete with a glass basin sink, a vacuum-flush head with a 22-gallon holding tank, a vanity and a skylight. It also has a toilet/shower stall whose bi-fold door doubles as the full-height linen closet door. A six-gallon water heater is standard.

In the port console is a cabin, with both a forward and aft berth area that make it perfect for a quick snooze or an overnight stop on the hook. Pursuit fully maximizes the space by adding a leather bench settee, a 28-inch LED TV, vertical and horizontal rod storage, a cedar locker, reverse-cycle heat/AC and hull-side windows. There’s even a microwave oven.

NOT A BOWRIDER

My immediate thought upon seeing the bow seating for the first time was that the DC 365 is just another bowrider, but I was soon corrected. According to David Glenn, Pursuit’s marketing director, who was with me for the test, Pursuit prefers to refer to it as “luxury lounge seating.” (Ed. note: Since Serio tested the boat, Pursuit was sold to Malibu Boats Inc. by former owner S2 Yachts.)

It’s more than just a few pads in a circle. Pursuit created a luxury oasis, with generously oversized forward-facing lounge seats that feature armrests, drink holders, a 12v outlet and two USB plugs.

Storage under the starboard seat includes dedicated dive tank space. The seats wrap around the front, and a center filler cushion can create a giant sunpad. Cushioned backrests ring the area for seating in any position.

MULTI-MISSION

The Pursuit DC 365 can be almost anything an owner wants it to be. As a cruiser, the cockpit offers amply padded fold-down bench seating across the transom and along the port side. An aft-facing bench straddles the line between cruising amenity and fishing feature. It conceals a freezer box in the base and tackle drawers behind its flip-down backrest. In-deck storage and fishboxes keep the catch fresh and supplies dry, further enhancing the crusin’/ fishin’ mission.

The seats fold up to create a roomy fishing deck that includes four gunwale and five transom rod holders, a 28-gallon transom baitwell and a transom door to facilitate pulling in the big ones. A molded entertainment center to starboard has a hot/cold sink, a Corian counter, an electric grill, a cutting board and a refrigerator/freezer, so the day’s catch can go from hook to cook.

Beneath a center deck hatch are an 8 kw Fischer Panda diesel generator with a 23-gallon tank, strainers, batteries, fuel filters and dedicated spaces for the swim ladder, stern anchor and cockpit table.

Up one step is the helm deck where Pursuit makes the details count, with special attention paid to the settees’ diamond stitching, side padding, and armrests. A combo bench/lounge seat is situated SEAMAGAZINE.COM FEBRUARY 2019 21

A couple of pads on the face of the helm help to protect one’s knees from banging when operating in heavy seas. Good thinking.

BY THE NUMBERS

Triple Yamaha F300 powerplants are bolted to the Pursuit DC 365’s stern, behind the transom and out of the way of the work area of the cockpit. Each outboard produces 300 hp, and those 900 hp offer instant response and impressive speed, even when pushing the 17,000-pound fiberglass hull. Running inshore, we took several reciprocal speed readings, which revealed that this package can get out and back at a leisurely cruising pace or at breakneck speed. Dialing in at 2500 rpm, we tooled around at 12.2 mph, at which point the Yamahas were burning a combined 16 gph. Pushing the F300s to 4000 rpm yielded 35.2 mph and 34.5 gph. Wide-open throttle, 5800 rpm, delivered an exhilarating ride. The boat

reached 52.8 mph while the engines burned a combined 78.3 gph. At any speed the ride was dry and comfortable, and we maintained good visibility at the helm.

Pursuit’s hull design includes two lifting strakes per side — one goes halfway back and the other almost the full length — and wide chines, which operate in concert to keep spray at bay and add stability.

Noteworthy is the invert on the V, which creates a flat area at the transom that adds top-end lift and speed while delivering clean water to the center outboard’s prop.

MORE? OF COURSE

Having been on several Pursuit models over the years, I try to be a bit more critical and look for issues on its new boats. I thoroughly examined the Pursuit DC 365 from stem to stern and really couldn’t find anything with which to take issue. Pursuit continues to build its line of Dual Console models as well as its Offshore, Center Console and Sport/Sport Coupe lines with a

 

focus on innovation and comfort, dedicated to building the finest crafts in their class.

Other niceties on the DC 365 include an integrated hardtop/window frame with a sunroof and 3¼-inch tube framing that adds rigidity and style to the structure.

Access from deck to bow is via a windshield walkthrough that offers a centerline pathway. Standard features include a starboard-side boarding gate with a clip-in boarding ladder, a 3 hp bow thruster, Lenco trim tabs, a center window and a bow door with a floor drain. Buyers can add outriggers, an electric retractable cockpit sunshade, a Yamaha Helm Master joystick controller, autopilot and other options that create a tricked-out ride.

Something the Pursuit DC 365 has that every boat should have — in the event someone falls overboard, especially if alone — is an emergency four-step telescoping ladder that pulls out of the hull’s portside transom just above the waterline. The bracket pulls out and folds down, with four foldout steps

on either side that are easy to hold onto until help arrives. Grabbing the outboards and getting one’s legs near the props is never a good idea. This makes so much sense.

Keeping all of this together is a vinylester resin-infused, hand-laminated hull with an infused structural stringer grid system and a beefy five-ply transom with Pursuit’s patented Transom Reinforcement Grid.

Pursuit is so sure of the DC 365’s construction that it includes a five-year hull, deck and blister warranty.

With all this packed into a 37-foot hull, the boat’s profile could be clunky and overstuffed. But the builder’s designers have ensured the Pursuit DC 365 is as sleek at the dock as it is blowing through an inlet.

A raised forward sheer remains unbroken until the transom, generous freeboard accounts for cabin space and delivers a dry ride, and a raked windshield couples with tapering side windows, giving the DC 365 a chopped appearance that is indicative of a lean, mean cruising/fishing machine.

12/31/18 10:18 AM

A single-level main deck creates a social zone that stretches from the transom to the helm.

BACK COVE 340

Back Cove enters the outboard market with a sporty Downeast couple’s cruiser. a long way from their noisy, smoky origins. Today’s outboards are clean, quiet and reliable. Higher revving and lightweight, they provide owners with the power and maneuverability to propel all types of boats. Taking advantage of this popular technology, the Back Cove 34O blends traditional Downeast styling with the speed, fun and versatility of modern outboards.

Back Cove did not simply convert an existing inboard model by swapping out the engines. The 34O has a completely new hull specifically created for outboards.

The builder’s in-house team, headed by chief designer Kevin Burns, carefully crafted this hull to maximize handling and performance. A shallower cutaway forefoot and increased deadrise up to 20 degrees help the boat accelerate and provide better control at the higher speeds and running angles associated with outboards.

Additional volume aft, courtesy of a sculpted hull form Back Cove calls TRELIS (trailing edge lifting surface), increases buoyancy and helps the boat get on plane faster while offsetting engine weight aft. While this hull form is new, it is designed to ABYC, NMMA, U.S. Coast Guard and CE Category B standards that ensure quality and safety.

OUTBOARD ENGINES HAVE COME

A major benefit of outboards is speed, the downside of which is increased structural stress, especially in rough waters. Recognizing this, Back Cove refined already rigorous construction processes at its 240,000-squarefoot facility in Rockland, Maine, to meet the needs of outboard power. The 34O is hand laid using vacuum infusion, and a closed-cell foam core in both the hull and topsides increases strength and reduces weight.

Vinylester resins are used throughout, and stringers are co-infused with the hull to create a single bonded structure capable of handling the extreme forces encountered during high-speed operation. The hull-todeck joint overlaps in shoebox fashion, and is fastened both mechanically and with structural adhesives for increased durability.

BY THE NUMBERS

With its newly designed hull and augmented construction, the Back Cove 34O performs well and is fun to drive. Powered by twin Yamaha F300 outboards, the 34O got on plane rapidly and accelerated smoothly, hitting fast cruising speeds in a matter of seconds.

During our test there was a pronounced 3-foot chop on the water, and we sped into it and cut turns through it SEAMAGAZINE.COM FEBRUARY 2019 25

AMPLE ACCOMMODATIONS

When it comes to accommodations, the Back Cove 34O is a great day cruiser and a welllaid-out weekender for couples or small families. It has a molded-in hull liner decorated with bright cherry wood and laminate flooring in a teak-and-holly style. The single cabin has a centerline bed and plenty of storage in a cedar-lined hanging locker on one side and a

locker with cubbies and drawers opposite.

Features include an overhead hatch, opening portholes, twin lamps, bedside bookshelves, drink holders, an optional 19-inch flat-screen LCD TV/DVD, a Fusion stereo with speakers, and a cabinet with both AC and DC/USB power for charging.

One feature I really like is the separate head and shower. The head is to port and the shower is in its own compartment to starboard. Both have opening portholes and the shower has 6 feet, 3 inches of headroom, a bench, an adjustable showerhead and something I never really thought of but like: twin drink holders.

The port side of the salon contains a large and very versatile seating area with a varnished teak table. The forward section of the dinette seating flips to create a forward-facing bench companion seat when the boat is running. The aft section flips down to create rear-facing seating into the cockpit. The table folds down and a filler cushion goes atop it to serve as a second bed.

Opposite the dinette, the galley has a microwave, an electric two-burner cooktop, a drawer style AC/DC refrigerator, and a solid-surface countertop with a deep stainless sink and drop-in cover. Additional Vitrifrigo refrigerator/freezer drawers and an ice-maker can be added.

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING

Another added benefit of outboard power is storage, and the entire salon area rises up on hydraulic rams to provide access to a 24-square-foot cargo area (accounting for the space taken by cabinets, tanks, etc.). On an inboard-powered boat, this would be the engine room, and it still houses some clearly labeled and wired electrical panels, tank access, a battery charger and an optional inverter along the aft bulkhead.

Along the sides of the compartment Back Cove provides finished storage cabinets with doors. The center section has a stainless ladder, since it is 3 feet deep. I measured 5 feet, 8 inches cabinet to cabinet and 5 feet,

A previously bypassed area of northern B.C. and spirit bears are the highlights of a summer on the water.

STORY BY PAM BACICH PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAM AND MICK BACICH

It was the darkest of dark nights. The half-full moon had set behind the hills. At 2:30 a.m. we were anchored snuggly in Cameron Cove on Princess Royal Island on the remote North Coast of British Columbia — no towns or villages within many, many miles. The black sky was peppered with thousands of Milky Way stars. The bright points of light were doubled as they reflected in the glassy calm waters of the bay.

e sat back in the silence and made wishes on the many falling stars. Out of the quiet night came a series of deep breaths in the water near the boat. We could hear something but couldn’t see anything in the darkness. Suddenly a hungry seal appeared next to us, lunging in and out of water as he fished in the starlight. It was a pretty perfect night.

That was just one of many magical nights last summer as we explored the northern reaches of British Columbia in the area known as the Great Bear Rainforest. We’ve traveled to Alaska on our Fleming 55, Mola Mola, four times, and have passed through the Great Bear Rainforest with interest and awe — the popular anchorages such as Khutze and Lowe Inlet have always taken our breath away — but our goal on past trips was always to get to Alaska as quickly as possible and spend the maximum time in the grandeur of that wilderness state. This summer we decided to go no farther than Prince Rupert and to concentrate a month of our summer boating in the area from

the top of Vancouver Island to the very edge of Alaska.

The Great Bear Rainforest is also known as the Central and North Coast forest. It is a temperate rainforest eco-region that encompasses 19 million acres and is part of the largest unspoiled, intact coastal temperate rainforest in the world. Coastal temperate rainforests are unique because of their proximity to the ocean and the mountains. The moist airflow from the ocean collides with the mountain ranges and results in large amounts of rain. It is this magic collaboration between the ocean and mountains that produces and supports a healthy population of unique water and land animals and creates deep fjords and anchorages of staggering beauty. Here, trees are up to 1,000 years old and as tall as buildings. Visitors will see wolves, black bears, grizzly bears, and the rare and mystical white spirit bear.

Boat owners who explore the remote inner reaches of the rainforest — rivers, streams, inlets and islands — should expect to go days without cell or internet service. In some areas the fjords are so high and steep that VHF radios have limited functionality and even satellite phones can be worthless. Be prepared to be alone. Many of the anchorages are cut deep into the mountains and take some time to reach. It is the definition of “off the beaten path.” We almost always had anchorages to ourselves.

Anyone who’s tired of the usual hot spots and wants this kind of adventure should check out some of the areas we enjoyed exploring.

1/KUMEALON INLET

Kumealon Inlet is on the north side of Grenville Channel and surrounded by towering mountains. It is easy to enter and has plenty of room, and anchorages can be found behind Kumealon Island and in the much larger Kumealon Inlet. We took a long dinghy ride back to check out Kumealon Narrows, which connects to a large lagoon that we never made it back to thanks to rapids that were boiling on both attempts. We timed our approach to high tide in Prince Rupert, but we were way off. Slack was going to be at least another 45 minutes and it was getting dark, so we had to head back. Now we have an excuse to return to the area.

Over the years we’ve made some of our favorite memories at Cameron Cove. It’s where saw our first spirit bear, with our guide from Hartley Bay, Marven Robinson. The spirit bear is a subspecies of black bear that has naturally white fur and can only be found in the Great Bear Rainforest. About 10 percent of the black bears born in this area carry the recessive gene,

Culpepper Lagoon in Fiordland Conservancy (above and far right) has shallow spots that extend far into the bay, but our cruisers saw a sea lion battle a salmon during their stay. Off Aristazabal Island, they saw lion’s mane jellyfish, the largest of the jellies. In Kent Inlet, a half-submerged totem pole looked whole as it reflected in the still water.

and experts estimate there are fewer than 400 spirit bears in the world. It is the thrill of a lifetime to see one.

On another visit, we watched Robinson teach his grandchildren to hunt for seals for a village feast. It was fascinating to watch this centuries-old tradition be passed down to the next generation. This year we watched enthralled as three thin, long-legged timber wolves scoured the beach for food. Wolves can be difficult to spot, and these three blended almost seamlessly into the colors of the rocks and kelp on the low-tide beach.

Cameron Cove is also where we first met Janie Wray, who, along with her partner, Herman Meuter, founded the North Coast Cetacean Society, in 2001.

Wray has an education in marine biology and a lifelong passion for whales.

NCCS has established three research stations near Cameron Cove in the very heart of the Great Bear region and has numerous hydrophones placed along the islands, to closely monitor the comings, goings and activities of whales in the area. NCCS was the first organization to identify humpback whales “singing” outside of Hawaii and has now recorded hundreds of hours of their magical songs.

Another important part of NCCS research is the monitoring of marine vessel activity and the effects of its noise on the cetaceans. Wray and Meuter are moving forward with plans to use drones to study the health of the whale population. There are more females arriving without calves and they hope to figure out why this is occurring. Wray told us that their most surprising findings have involved the way humpback whales and sea lions are socially connected and how they often hunt in the same area. Their research is privately funded and driven by a need to protect this fragile environment.

3/KENT INLET

Kent Inlet is part of the Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy, which is co-managed by the Kitasoo Nation and the Province of British Columbia and is the world’s only protected area for the white spirit bear. Wildlife is abundant throughout the conservancy and the highest concentration of spirit, or Kermode, bears is found in this area. Philip Narrows is the tricky (read: scary) narrow entrance to Kent Inlet and it commands watchful attention.

The narrows is short and straight but very narrow, maybe 60 feet wide, and includes ominous rocks. I can’t imagine a boat much bigger than our Fleming 55 going through. We wouldn’t want to get caught sideways in there.

During neap tide there seems to be a pretty long window of calm water. We never encountered more than one and a half knots, and we ran it at several different times in the dinghy. We used Meyers Passage slack as our guide and Bella Bella high and low water. Inside, the anchorage is back in a lovely round bay that feels more like a lake. A tidewater waterfall is fed by a beautiful large lagoon and a smaller waterfall at the head of the bay. We were there in late August and salmon were performing acrobatics all around us.

4/ARISTAZABAL ISLAND

Aristazabal Island is the largest of a patchwork of islands and islets that lie southwest of Princess Royal Island. We dropped into Weeteean Bay on the southern end of this remote and pristine wilderness. The western shore is fully exposed to the Pacific Ocean and the island is surround by islets and wave-cut rocks. It is remote and wild; we felt like we’d been dumped into a flooded rock quarry.

We spent the afternoon exploring the area and saw some of the largest lion’s mane jellyfish we’d ever seen. Lion’s mane jellyfish — the largest known species of jellyfish, whose stinging tentacles can grow to more than 100 feet long —

range in color from light orange to vivid crimson and were an awesome sight as they swam past our dinghy.

The next morning our trip out of Weeteean Bay and across the channel back toward Princess Royal Island was one of the strangest in all our travels. We headed into an odd, gloomy, brownish fog at 7:30 a.m. The sun was a giant orange ball that reflected a broad orange swath across the sea. The waves crashed over the imposing rock piles that surround the western shore of Aristazabal Island. An eerie, apocalyptic air chocked the skies. We could hardly see where we were going, and though the water was quite calm, the overall scene was unsettling and uncomfortable. Unnerving.

We had been out of communication range for quite a while and had no way of knowing that more than 600 fires were burning in British Columbia. The winds had shifted and the smoke had moved to the coast. Gone were the towering mountains, the distant green islands and the brilliant blue sky. In their place was a dirty brown emptiness. It was a thick mixture of fog and smoke. It was cold and creepy, and we didn’t like it!

5/ALSTON COVE

Alston Cove is off Laredo Inlet and features an easy, open entrance that is surrounded by mountains, which, on the day we arrived, were shrouded in fog and smoke from the fires in British Columbia. The smoke from the fires turned everything an unnatural, otherworldly orange but made for a beautiful sunset. A large, drying flat would provide sedge for bears in the early summer, but none were visible in late August.

We took the dinghy up Blee Creek on the north side of the bay. Chantal Pronteau, a First Nation’s Watchman from Kemtu, told us fish traps stretched across the entire bay where the creek comes in, and that we’d only be able to see them at low tide. Partly because of the history of the fish traps, Alston is her favorite anchorage.

Just south of Alston, at the start of Thistle Passage, is the magical anchorage of Quigley Creek Cove. We wound through a string of enchanting islands and dropped anchor in the basin at the mouth of Quigley Creek.

6/FIORDLAND CONSERVANCY

Fiordland continues to be one of our favorite parts of the world. It is a large marine park that encompasses two spectacular bays and estuaries, Kynoch and Mussel inlets. Sheer granite cliffs climb more than 3,200 feet and are dotted with dense coastal forests and imposing waterfalls. In Muscle Bay we were greeted by two Watchmen from the Kitasoo/Xai’xais Nation, which co-manages the Conservancy with B.C. Parks.

GR E AT W HITE NORT H Conservancy — boarded Mola Mola and explained the limitations of river exploration in the cove. They told us only 14 people are allowed up the river at any one time and only one small boat. If the tour boat from Spirit Bear Lodge in Klemtu arrives, it has priority. Even when that has happened during our visits, we have had plenty of time to explore the area at other times of the day, and we’ve enjoyed great bear viewing from our anchorage.

We dropped anchor at the head of the bay and spent an hour or so floating in the dinghy and watching a grizzly munch on the grasses on the shore. The salmon were just beginning to appear, so the protein from the sedges would have to do. We spent the next day exploring Kynoch Inlet and Culpepper Lagoon. Both bays have shallow areas that extend farther out than is indicated on the charts. At low tide we could see a light-colored border under the shallow water that clearly indicated the edge of the sandbar and changing depth.

A drone gave the Baciches a clear view of Kwatna Estuary at low tide as they looked for a course to the river in their dinghy.

pinch ourselves periodically and remind each other how special it all was. But the beauty coefficient was boosted tenfold when we crossed through Roscoe Narrows.

From this point, the mountains were taller and more numerous, the peaks were more dramatic and sheer rocky stone faces came straight into the channel. The water was a deep emerald green, and the stunning reflections looked like islands in the still water. It was simply unlike anywhere else we have been. On our journey up the inlet, we poked into each bay along the way. All six of the potential anchorages had their own uniqueness and would serve a boater well, depending on the wind. We anchored for the night at the head of the inlet in about 80 feet of water. The quiet stillness of the night was magical.

8/KWATNA ESTUARY CONSERVANCY

In Culpepper we looked on as a hungry seal wrestled with a huge salmon. He dove repeatedly under the surface and rose out of the water to yank a juicy bite. Seagulls floated nearby and hoped to catch any leftovers while a dozen seals barked from a nearby log.

7/ROSCOE INLET

It takes quite a commitment to visit Roscoe Inlet, which is a deep cut into the mainland of British Columbia and goes the opposite direction that most boaters are traveling. We had to motor 22 miles in and 22 miles out in order to see the long cul-de-sac that’s rimmed by giant mountains and forested green walls that defy description. The entrance to Roscoe Inlet is at the intersection of Return Channel and Johnson Channel.

The first 10 miles of the inlet were beautiful, but no more so than several other inland passages and anchorages we visited in the Great Bear Rainforest. We named such places JABA: Just Another Beautiful Anchorage. After days and weeks of exploring the area, we almost began to take this beauty for granted. It lay around every corner and we had to

Kwatna Estuary is approximately 22 miles east of Bella Bella and 22 miles southwest of Bella Coola, off Burke Channel. At the head of Kwatna Bay sits the largest of the river estuaries and tidal flats we visited. It is a vast sedge-filled estuary and Sitka spruce floodplain forest that is surrounded by giant snowcapped mountains. At low tide the drying flats come almost half of a mile into the bay and span the entire width.

We launched our drone at the lowest tide, so we could try to locate a path through the remaining shallow water. Our electronic chart showed a wide-open trench that makes it look easy to take a dinghy ride all the way up to the river. Over time, however, the trench has slowly filled in and the obvious route no longer exists. Only by following a slow meandering course were we able to explore about a mile into the estuary. I’m sure at a higher tide we could have gone even farther. It required patience and a watchful eye.

We saw river otters, sea lions, geese and a variety of seabirds. While the Conservancy serves as a feeding area for grizzly bears, the salmon were just starting to run and we didn’t see any bears. We anchored in about 90 feet on the northwest side of bay and found Kwatna a fascinating place for a day’s exploration.

COVER EVERYTHING Your boat is insured. Make sure the extras you have aboard are covered too.

BY HEATHER STEINBERGER

B

oaters are an interesting and diverse lot. You’re daytrippers and overnight cruisers, angling aficionados and watersports nuts, old-school navigators and electronics techno-geeks, and you all have a favorite powerplant. That means your marine insurance needs run the gamut. You might already know whether you should choose a boat or a yacht policy, and you might even have a good grasp of agreed-upon value vs. actual-cash value, but then you have all this extra stuff.

Those extra add-ons present an extra challenge. How can you adequately protect all those precious, and often expensive, items that make your boating lifestyle special? Fortunately, it’s not as difficult as one might think. It just requires a little homework, patience and trust.

READ. UNDERSTAND.I

Gary Clausen from Antioch, Calif.-based Twin Rivers Marine Insurance Agency perhaps puts it best. Before you can determine the best way to cover your extras, you need to understand your insurance policy. That means actually reading it.

“Understanding coverages by discussing policy language with your agent is important,” Clausen said. “(And) take the time to listen to your agent’s translation of coverage. There’s more to a marine policy than the line items of the declarations page.”

Most boat and yacht policies have distinct sections for hull and machinery, dinghies, and personal effects. To start, the hull and machinery section will cover anything attached to the vessel, even if it’s removable. That could include downriggers, stereo speakers on a watersports tower, anchors, fenders, docklines, navigational electronics and even onboard furniture.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM FEBRUARY 2019

+ Sea feature Insurance.indd 37

12/31/18 10:16 AM

Next, most marine policies offer automatic coverage for dinghies, although they might limit this based on length and horsepower, and whether the dinghy will be carried aboard or towed. And finally, boat and yacht policies all offer variable included amounts for personal property used aboard the vessel.

As Clausen said, most marine underwriters do their best to make boat and yacht policies as broad as possible, so they’ll be attractive to the many segments of the boating public. They’ll also adjust line items as needed to best meet boaters’ needs.

Navigational electronics, fishing tackle and personal property tend to be the most popular requests, because coverage varies so widely.

BROADEN COVERAGE AS NEEDED I

As you become acquainted with the options, you’ll quickly learn that some policies are fairly comprehensive. Others are less so, and that might depend on the size of the boat.

“A good marine policy will cover just about everything,” said Neal Booth, president of the Seattle-based Boat Insurance Agency. “Items like outboard engines and watersports towers should always be in the hull coverage.”

The same goes for the small trolling motors aboard sportfishing vessels, according to Clausen. Just be sure to provide a detailed description of the outboards you have, and if you repower, contact your agent as soon as possible to adjust your coverage accordingly.

Dave Kauffman, president of Anchor Marine in Mercer Island, Wash., noted that marine insurance policies tend to cover more with larger vessels. If you own a smaller boat, your basic insurance policy will cost less, but you’ll also want to consider adding endorsements to broaden the coverage.

The good news is that insurance carriers might still view certain items as integral parts of the boat, including permanently mounted electronics, watersports towers, and dinghies. Just check with your carrier first, and discuss the possibility of scheduling certain items separately.

“Almost all yacht policies will cover personal effects such as sporting and fishing gear.”

“Many marine underwriters provide ‘sub’ navigational electronics deductibles of $250 or $500,” Clausen said. “This takes the sting away from a claim with hull deductibles that can be thousands of dollars.”

That’s important for boaters, because electronics are frequent targets for thieves.

Dinghies are common claims as well, and they also can be scheduled separately and have their own deductible. Again, doublecheck with your carrier, particularly as far

as the dinghy is concerned. Not only might your coverage depend on specific size and horsepower parameters, but some carriers might balk if you’re planning to tow the dinghy.

“Tenders are common losses,” Kauffman said. “If you tow, they might not cover the dinghy at all, or you might have a higher deductible.”

PERSONAL EFFECTS I

Because boaters all use their boat

38 SEAMAGAZINE.COM FEBRUARY 2019

+ Sea feature Insurance.indd 38

12/31/18 10:16 AM

While your yacht policy probably covers outboards and fishing equipment, don’t make that assumption only to find out it doesn’t. Talk to your insurance agent.

“Mysterious disappearances when items are left unsecured would not be covered,” Clausen said. “Claims handlers also will ask for a police report from local authorities, describing the loss.”

Booth advised that boaters should double-check their homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy, as it might cover non-boating items such as clothing, cameras, coolers and sporting equipment.

“Often the boat policy will be secondary to this primary coverage,” Booth said.

A FINAL WORD I

When it comes to boat and yacht insurance, the most important advice brokers and agents can offer is to be your own advocate. Read your policy carefully so you understand what it covers and what it excludes, ask questions, and communicate with your agent regularly, especially if you’ve added new extras to your boat.

He can’t provide the best advice or coverage without an accurate, full picture.

Next, remember that your agent is on your side.

“Honestly, the cost is minimal to make sure these things are done right,” Kauffman said. “We’re not trying to double anyone’s premium. Another 5 to 10 percent is Marine insurance often the difference between doing it and not having adequate coverage.” policies tend to cover right And finally, seek out a marine expert. more with larger “Insure with a marine agent, a specialist who knows boats, insurance and all the vessels. boatyards, surveyors and repairers,” Booth said. “The agent who does automotive and homeowner’s policies is probably very good at that, and you might get a good price, but it’s not the way to go. You will not have a specific marine policy, and the differences are huge.” differently, they bring aboard a variety of items that enhance their on-the-water lifestyle. These include everything from clothing to watersports equipment.

“Each policy usually contains a short list of included personal effects,” Kauffman said. “For example, almost all yacht policies will cover personal effects such as sporting and fishing gear.”

Booth agreed. “Some of the sports equipment and clothing will be considered ‘personal effects,’ separate coverage that’s usually included in the marine package,” he said.

On a 65-foot sportfishing yacht, that might include $100,000 worth of fishing tackle as well as the owners’ fine art. If an important item is not included, however, talk to your broker or agent about adding an endorsement that increases the limits.

Be aware that a loss under the personal effects section of your boat or yacht policy might require signs of forcible entry into a secured locker or cabin.

ASK A BROKER

BROKERAGE ADVICE

FEBRUARY’S QUESTION:

Finding a broker with the requisite “hard” skills — understanding contracts, negotiating savvy, proficiency with paperwork, having contacts throughout the industry, etc. — seems to be obvious.

But what are some of the “soft” skills a broker should possess?

For an answer to this question, we looked to a feature in our August 2018 issue called “8 Qualities of a Yacht Sales Professional,” written by Zuzana Prochazka.

Manages Expectations

A good broker should be willing to take time to ask questions and really understand the details of a boat he’s seeking or selling for a client, so he can manage expectations on both sides. “Most people will have already researched the boat online, so they have a rough idea of what’s for sale,” said Mik Maguire, current president of the California Yacht Brokers Association. “But the key is to know what equipment is included or excluded and what the actual condition of the vessel is.”

Boats can look good in pictures, and



brokers tend to use flowery terms to make them sound better, but a barrage of superlatives in broker-speak could be an indication to head elsewhere. CYBA is considering creating a standardized rating system for vessel condition, which it hopes will bring clarity to the process.

“Of the 21 complaints we logged at CYBA, half of them were because the broker didn’t communicate the excluded equipment or the condition wasn’t as described,” Maguire said. “If the broker says it’s a 10, then it must be a 10.”

Owns Long-Game Mindset

A good broker also understands the customer’s exit strategy. Being there to sell a boat or move a customer to a bigger vessel when it’s time to move on is part of what yields longevity in the business.

Dick Simon of Dick Simon Yachts in Dana Point stressed honesty and openness.

“You have to tell the truth even if it precludes the sale,” he said. “This business is all about long-term relationships and there’s no way to build them without integrity.”

Matt Maynard, past president of the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association (NYBA) and owner of Irwin Yacht Sales in Seattle, agreed, adding, “You’ll never survive by focusing on a single boat sale.

It’s all about repeat business.”

Possesses Passion

Selling boats can be a 24/7 occupation, and that’s tough for someone who is not passionate about the product and the lifestyle. Tamara Krimstock is a broker at Beneteau dealer South Coast Yachts in San Diego. She said she’s never worked harder but it’s the nature of the business and the people in the industry that keep her going. Someone who doesn’t love boats and the boating lifestyle but wants to sell for a living should go into real estate — houses are more abundant and the commissions higher.

DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Learn a boating lesson in the fundamentals of dressing in layers.

BY TIM TAYLOR

IT WAS IN THE WEE hours of the morning when we awoke to the commotion. When we had turned in to our tents for the night a few hours earlier, the weather was nice, if a bit cool. But sometime after midnight the rain came and with it the discovery by a pair of 13-year-old Boy Scouts that the rain fly on their tent was not quite up to its task. Oddly, their shrieks didn’t seem to disturb the other scouts, but to the scoutmasters it sounded as if a bear might have been tearing through their campsite. To our relief, we discovered the only carnage the boys suffered were some wet sleeping bags and gear.

Thankfully it was the last night of the campout, so they didn’t have to sleep another night in their wet sleeping bags. However, the morning dawned cold and damp, so they still had to contend with wet clothes for the hike back to the trucks. Luckily the boys had heeded the instructions to dress in layers.

What lessons can boaters glean from a bunch of soggy teenaged scouts on an autumn hike in the forests of the Olympic Mountains? With the chillier and damper boating season upon us, the same fundamentals of dressing in layers is one of them.

The relatively mild winters in the Pacific Northwest allow for year-round boating, though some preparation is necessary for contending with the same cold and damp that the local Boy Scouts face. Even with a heater in the boat, things just never seem to dry out. The wet gear that ends up in the cabin, the condensation from cooking and washing, the pesky window or two that just won’t keep all the rain out. They all add moisture to the boat’s interior that seems to intensify the chilly temperatures. Dressing in layers in these conditions is the best way to combat the chill.

Three layers are essential to keeping warm and comfortable while boating in the off-season: the base layer next to one’s skin, the middle layer over that, and an outer shell. Each has a specific purpose in providing comfort.

The job of the base layer — underwear — is to keep your skin dry. For this layer it is essential that the fabric have the ability to wick moisture

away from skin. One of the unofficial scout mottos is “cotton kills.” Cotton, when wet, retains its moisture and holds it against your skin. It is the dampness against skin that keeps you cold and miserable, and potentially hypothermic, so choose a fabric that pulls the moisture away from skin to help keep you dry.

Among the most common and inexpensive materials for the base layer are synthetic fabrics such as polypropylene and polyester. Polypropylene does a slightly better job of wicking moisture and drying quickly and also provides a little better insulation and is probably the better choice.

However, polyester holds up a bit better to laundering and hot-air drying and also does a good job at keeping your skin dry.

My favorite base layer fabric, however, is merino wool. With its soft, ultrafine fibers, this is not the itchy stuff my father had to endure. It is probably not quite as good at wicking moisture as the synthetic fibers, but it also helps you stay cool once the weather warms up if the sun happens to make an appearance. Merino wool is also naturally resistant to odor-causing bacteria, unlike the synthetic fabrics. At double or triple the cost of the synthetics, it isn’t the cheapest option, but for situations when laundry isn’t a daily option, my nose finds the extra cost is worth it.

While the base layer keeps you dry, the middle layer provides the insulation needed to keep you warm. Again, polypropylene or polyester garments such as the ubiquitous fleece do an exceptional job at a relatively low cost, but wool is a strong contender here too. Both types of fabrics do a good job of wicking the moisture the base layer has pulled off your skin, allowing it to evaporate while retaining a buffering layer of body heat to help fend off the cold. A down- or synthetic-insulated jacket also makes for a very effective insulating middle layer, though fleece and wool are able to dry much more quickly, which may be an important consideration in the damp marine environment.

While it is called the middle layer, it is not necessarily just a single layer. In fact, wearing multiple layers of lighter insulating garments is actually the better way to

go. Making use of several layers, you may start off in the cold of the morning with a down jacket over a medium fleece pullover, which is over a merino wool long-sleeved T-shirt. As the day progresses and warms up, you can shed the down jacket and keep the chill off with the fleece pullover. Often, especially if you are more active during the day, you may end up warm enough in just the base layer. When the sun starts to go low in the sky and takes the temperature down with it, you can put each layer back on as needed to maintain comfort.

Insulating layers such as fleece or wool sweaters do not do a very good job retaining warmth if there is much of a breeze.

Likewise, if rain moves in, the wet middle layers will be unable to provide insulation.

This is when the outer layer, or shell, comes into play.

The outer shell layer can be as simple as a coated nylon rain jacket and rain pants, though this type of material is just as good at keeping perspiration in as it is the rain out. Still, if you are not having to exert yourself, it will do a good job of keeping the insulating layers dry and blocking the wind.

For most boaters, especially in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canadian waters, the material of choice for the outer layer will be some sort of breathable waterproof shell lined with Gore-Tex or one of the competing brands of breathable waterproof membranes. These fabrics keep liquid water out while allowing water vapor from perspiration to permeate the barrier and exit the insulating layers, dramatically reducing the damp, clammy feeling of non-breathable rainwear. Most do a good job of blocking the wind too, preventing the rapid loss of body heat. As with many things in a boater’s life, the higher the price tag, the better the function when it comes to this kind of rain gear, generally speaking.

Good head gear is worth mentioning here.

An acrylic or wool knit watch cap under the hood of the shell layer will prevent a good deal of body heat loss through the top of your head and go a long way toward keeping you comfortable on a damp, chilly day. Cold ears are no fun, so make sure the cap can cover your ears too.

Every boat card is different, but certain basic information is vital, as shown here.

TAKE MY CARD

Boating is a social event. Boat cards make it highly personable.

BY DEANE HISLOP

CRUISING THE WATERS OF THE Pacific Northwest we meet a lot of different and interesting people. Boaters like to get together. We eat, drink, forge friendships and inevitably part ways. Our shared interest makes it easy to get to know one another. The thing is, we meet many great people who we want to stay in contact with after we’ve parted ways, just to see what everyone is up to, where everyone is heading, or even for advice on something.

It can be difficult to keep everyone straight. Writing down the email and/or blog address, boat name and name of everyone we meet isn’t practical, so we simply exchange boat cards (with any boaters who have them). Many cruisers carry boat cards to trade with one another. In a nutshell, they’re basically business cards where one’s boat is the subject rather than a company.

They provide the receiver a little visual reminder of something about the giver, which can come in handy weeks, months or even years later. Our card makes it easier for someone to say, “Oh yeah, I remember that couple.”

All the information anyone should need is neatly printed on a handy card. What a boat-owning couple puts on their boat card PNW-4

is completely up to them, and each card varies as much as the people who hand them out. You can make your own, have them made by a local print shop or by an online printer such as Vistaprint.

Many years ago I designed and printed our first card on my computer and printed them on perforated business card stock. I designed the card using a photo I took of Easy Goin’ with Mt. Rainier in the background, but many of the online providers have plenty of nautical-themed stock designs that are easy to customize for boaters not up to the task of creating something from scratch. One of the advantages of doing it myself was that as our information changed I could easily make modifications and print new cards.

When we moved to our new home in

Anacortes, Wash., it was time to modify the card. This time, however, I worked with the local stationery store and we redesigned the card with our new contact information. It was great experience, in that I received some professional design help, the end product looked better (design and print quality) and it was inexpensive.

The price was not much more than if I had done it myself, considering the cost of the card stock and ink, not to mention the time it takes.

While every card is as unique as its designer/boat owner, there are some general rules to follow when designing a boat card, to ensure the finished product is a quality card:  Use large enough fonts that people can read all information easily.  Use plain fonts and group information in a single spot, so it is easier for an Optical Character Reader (OCR) to understand.  Include less information and larger type, rather than vice versa.  To fit a lot of information (see previous point), consider using the back of the card instead of squishing it all on the front.  Make any photos — boat and/or crew — large enough that faces are identifiable.  Cards can be printed with a matte or glossy finish.

Every boat card should include some basic information:  Boat name.  Crew names: use names people actually go by, such as a nickname.  Homeport.

12/31/18 9:58 AM

DON’T MISS LIST Contact information: radio call signs,

cellphone number, email and MMSI number (if cruising with DSC).

Other information boaters list on their boat card includes: A photo of the boat. We use a photo of our boat, Easy Goin’, as the background on the card.

Boat manufacturer, model and length.

Some boaters use both sides of the card and include a photo of themselves on the back.

Onboard pet names.

Facebook boat page.

Blog.

Satellite phone number.

Crew credentials — U.S. Coast Guard Captain, bosun, rigger, electrician.

Some information should probably be left off a boat card for security reasons: Home address. Don’t broadcast that you spend weekends, vacations or months at a time away from home and then include the address of said unoccupied abode.

Home phone number. Don’t provide a way for seedy individuals to check if anyone is home.

While collecting the cards from other boaters is a nice hobby, all that information has to be stored somewhere. Some boaters we know store them in their phone contacts using one of a number of different iOS and Android apps — some of which have trouble recognizing fancy fonts. Some boaters simply put a rubber band around their collected boat cards. Others use three-ring binders with plastic business card holder pages. Cards are stored in the order received.

We’ve taken it a bit further. We transfer the information into an Excel spreadsheet.

Yes, it takes a bit of effort but provides us the ability to sort or search by boat name or day met, for example.

As a boater once said to me, while we were exchanging boat cards, “It’s easy to come and go. The hard thing is to remember.”

EDITED BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

Northern California’s coast is beautiful but doesn’t offer boaters many respites.

Crescent City is one such stop.

QUICK ESCAPE

COOL CRESCENT CITY A safe harbor in Northern California is nestled where the giant redwoods meet the rugged coast.

CRESCENT CITY IS THE MOST northern city on the coast of California, just south of the Oregon border, where Elk Creek flows into the Pacific Ocean. A Mediterranean climate delivers mild weather for most of the year — not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter — and outdoor recreational activities draw adventurers of all kinds, including boat owners. Crescent Harbor 1 is in the heart of this small town, and boaters who love nature should definitely make this a stop.

WHERE TO MOOR Crescent Harbor is the gateway for boaters who want to explore some of California’s most beautiful forests. The harbor offers

many amenities, including free Wi-Fi throughout. Guest boaters will find moorage on both sides of H dock and may side-tie anywhere along that dock, though

not to other vessels, which is prohibited due to the dock’s proximity to the channel. Fuel is available on the north side of Citizens Dock — the pier with the large blue building on the end — and restrooms, showers and laundry facilities are available to guest boaters. Call (707) 464-6174 during business hours or (797) 954-8341 after hours for access to the shower facilities.

G O O D E AT S North Coast Grill 2 offers fresh seafood meals, which is no surprise, but it’s also a place where visitors can rent surfboards, wetsuits and bicycles. Visitors can book surf lessons and paddle tours at the café, for a one-stop-shop day of fun and food. The Chart Room 3 is in the harbor in a converted marine shop. It offers locally SEAMAGAZINE.COM FEBRUARY 2019

For a hearty Mexican meal, boaters should head over the highway to Los Compadres Mexican Food 4 , where they can order a giant burrito or nachos when hunger strikes.

Folks who are pressed for time can visit the Aztec Grill 5 , a newcomer to the area near the harbor, which is a grab-n-go spot — think Chipotle — inside the Redwood Market. For a quick and tasty (mostly fried) seafood meal, boaters need not walk far.

Point Light 8 is just outside the harbor entrance and was one of the first lighthouses on the California coast. The Del Norte Historical Society operates the lighthouse and museum, which is open to the public when low tide permits. Hours are typically daily from April through September, with tours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. From October through March, the lighthouse is only open for tours on weekends.

On North West Seal Rock, the Saint George Reef Lighthouse stands proudly.

It is built on a collection of exposed rocks about eight miles northwest of Crescent City. Boaters coming from the north should keep an eye out while en route to the harbor.

Just beyond the harbor, the Redwood National and State Park is a mere eight miles away. The park, a lush forest that surrounds Crescent City, is an alluring attraction for locals and visitors, partially thanks to the many available hiking trails that allow beginners and experts to enjoy the redwood forests.

A local attraction since 1964, Ocean World Aquarium 9 has been delighting visitors with more than half a million gallons of tanks. Attractions that are sure to please visitors of all ages include shark petting, a tide pool, a high-flying sea lion performance and elaborate aquatic tanks.

The aquarium is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

A humble memorial monument west of Ocean World honors a local community activist, William Boone, who died in 1957. Boone was one of the reasons for the great Independence Day Celebration in Crescent City.

TO THE WEB

The pier (top) and docks (middle right) are two attractions in Crescent City itself. Outside of town, visitors can hike the trails through Redwood National Park (above) and maybe see bull elk.

SEASI DE CH AT

MEET JIM ANTRIM Naval Architect and founder of Antrim Associates

JIM ANTRIM IS A GRADUATE of the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture in New York, after which he founded Antrim Associates (antrimdesign.com) in 1979. His design portfolio is as diverse as any in the industry and includes record-breaking multihull and monohull sailboats, popular production boats, wing sail–assisted motor catamarans and a solar-powered unmanned electric craft. We wanted to find out more about yacht design in the 21st century, so we asked Antrim, who was kind enough to accommodate our queries.

SEA: How does a boat design begin?

Antrim: Typically I am contacted by an individual or sometimes a boat builder who wants a new design. Sometimes it’s only a vague description; occasionally, they come with a sketch of something they have in mind. It might simply be a goal. For example, [I’ve designed] a boat for Lia Ditton (RowLiaRow.com), who hopes to be

the first woman to row solo from Japan to San Francisco. (Ed. note: Ditton’s quest is scheduled to begin next month.)

The first part of the job is finding out what the real goals are.

What is your client dreaming about? What makes them tick?

Then a vision of a boat starts forming in my mind. When I started, drawings were all done on pencil and paper. Now it is all created on CAD software on a computer.

What are your preferred techniques you use to build? Preferred materials?

I’ve designed wooden boats and aluminum boats, but I’m a composite specialist. Most of my boats use sandwich construction, which means there is an inner and outer skin of fiberglass and/or carbon — sometimes Kevlar — and a structural foam core. Kind of like a sandwich you eat, except the meat is on the outside and the bread in the middle! When properly engineered, composite boats are significantly lighter and more durable than wood and aluminum. If you want to pick a material that is enjoyable to build with, nothing compares to wood. But composites are more challenging and interesting to engineer.

12/31/18 9:53 AM

What are some challenges when designing a new yacht?

Understanding the client and their goals is a big one. Sometimes I think a course in psychology should be required in a naval architecture curriculum.

The budget also can be a challenge. Custom boats are expensive.

There is just a lot of labor in building any new thing from scratch. So a challenge is trying to keep things simple — techniques to make a boat easier to build, designing a boat that is clean and simple in layout and function. Simple things are easier to understand and to use. Finding the simplest solution takes a lot more work and thought than finding a complex one.

I like to find synergy between the layout and the structure of the boat.

That helps keep it simple and light.

Benches, berths and countertops are used to support the hull and keel.

Human engineering and ergonomics are a big part of that synergy too.

The layout has to fit the people that will use it, keeping them comfortable and safe.

Weight estimates are another challenge when designing a good boat. A good weight estimate identifies and locates every bit of structure, every piece of hardware, all the consumables, crew, and gear that will be on board. It’s the only part of designing that is not much fun, and one of the most important for making sure the boat works properly in the end.

What are some of the standard principles of boat design that have remained throughout the years?

Archimedes principle still holds true: The boat has to float, and float “on her lines,” which is one reason the weight estimate is so important.

Also, all boats need to have stability.

Any floating object will tend to heel when the wind blows on it, whether it’s a sailboat, a powerboat or a house boat. The principles of how to manage that are basic to

naval architecture. Another form of stability is directional. You need the boat to go in the direction you want, and to do that without too much effort on the part of the operator.

Now that the America’s Cup is being sailed in foiling boats, the challenges of pitch and trim stability have been on display.

A principle that I believe in but is apparently ignored by many: A boat should be pretty, maybe kind of sexy. Aesthetics are important. Why would anyone buy an ugly boat?

How do you envision yacht design in 10 years?

I think A.I. will grow rapidly in importance. Foiling boats are gaining acceptance rapidly, and A.I. will help control the pitch stability I mentioned. I’m now working on my second autonomous design, this one a sailboat intended to circumnavigate the globe with its own internal logic. This kind of thing will trickle down the same way that it is in automobiles.

An old friend and former client of mine named Peter Hogg has been talking to me for several years about building a 3-D printed boat. Initially the materials weren’t strong enough to build anything very big and the printers themselves were way too small. Already, fiber-reinforced printing methods are starting to appear and printers are getting bigger. This is definitely a wave of the future. We have talked about how one might buy a design file, perhaps customize it a bit on their home computer and then go print it.

This leads me to another design challenge that will become a bigger problem in the future: intellectual property. Computer software is available now where you can take pictures of an object from a few different angles, load it into the computer and a 3-D model is created. Simply print it on your home computer. And one last thing: All boats of the future should have a play room.

BARRACUDA. THE SUV OF THE SEA. For those whose love of the water includes many different expressions, our Barracuda outboard powerboat is the SUV of the sea. From fishing to diving to cruising, she has been designed, built and tested to be on a first name basis with all waters, even in their foulest moods. This generation Barracuda has the capability and range for new adventure. She’s as indispensable as a lucky rod and reel or a high-quality scuba mask. There’s an apex predator out there—the Barracuda—and she’s hungry for adventure.

See the new Barracuda at the Seattle Boat Show, January 25-February 2 and the Miami International Boat Show, February 14-18. Visit NewBeneteauBarracuda.com for more information.
