8 BELLS FOR MCAFEE ONE OF THE PEOPLE who made my transition to Sea easier was Roger McAfee. His long experience in the marine field and his knowledge of the Pacific Northwest from his homeport in Burnaby, B.C., made him a valuable resource and sounding board. And he predated my 2009 arrival at the magazine by several years.

Sadly, Roger died Aug. 8 at 79 years old.

He succumbed to congestive heart failure after a months-long battle with and recovery from cancer and a subsequent surgery. His wife, Melody; son, Donald Edward; brother, Garnet, and sister, Heather; step-children James Lee Saunders, Marion Kirkham and Julia Saunders; and many nieces, nephews and grandchildren survive him.

While Roger was never an in-house member of our team, he was part of the extended family, and he called me my first week on the job. We exchanged bios, and when he told me he had been a practicing attorney for 20 years, I allowed as how I wouldn’t hold that or his Canadianness against him. A pause and then a laugh. We were off to a flying start.

Roger tracked me down at the 2010 Seattle Boat Show — my introduction to his vest of many pockets and hat of questionable cleanliness — and offered to acquaint me with the area boat builders and brokers.

One of those folks was Larry Graf, who had recently founded Aspen Power Catamarans a few years after departing Glacier Bay. The conversation, after glowing recollections of many Graf designs, arrived at a GB model Roger didn’t recall fondly. (He frequently 6

thought himself correct, though Melody would often disabuse him of that notion.) A lively discussion ensued. Graf invited Roger out on his latest design the next day. Roger loved it, the argument was forgotten and they formed a mutual admiration club.

During the subsequent years, he frequently “suggested” story ideas — usually by sending the finished story via email — and always knew of new boats in his area to test. He burned through phone minutes calling/ haranguing industry folks in Canada and the U.S. I like to imagine this scenario: “Hi, So-and-So, it’s Roger. We need to talk about XYZ.” A conversation ensued — and went on — after which So-and-So said to himself, “Why doesn’t that guy find a hobby?

Oh yeah…” He’d turned his hobby into his retirement life.

I didn’t know Roger as a young man or even in midlife — he was an old fart when I met him, or at least that’s what I told him — but I’m sure he approached everything then with the same gusto he approached everything while I knew him, from writing to testing boats to organizing seminars to sitting on judging panels to spoiling the grandkids. I know my office phone will ring less frequently than it used to: “Hi, Mike, it’s Rog.” Our deepest sympathies go out to his family. He will be missed on our pages and on the PNW boating scene.

Omega 45 is technologically advanced, filled with upscale touches, roomy as a dayboat and fast as hell.

Like a bullet. Seen from above, that’s what the Technohull Omega 45 looks like. And with the maximum engine package — four 400 hp outboards — like a bullet is how the Omega 45 is going to move across the water. The projected top speed with the 1,600-hp option is 85 mph. Cruising speed is right around 55 mph.

As a rigid inflatable, the Omega 45 has a certain appeal as a superyacht tender, but at 45 feet long and with a cabin and a head built into the center console, it’s going to appeal to certain boat buyers as their main vessel. Add in seating for six on the aft settee, two more on an aft-facing bench, four in two rows of seats at the helm and two on a settee on the front of the console, and the 45 can serve as a dayboat too — a growling, aggressive, sleek, deep-V, twin-vented-hull dayboat.

A T-top covers the helm and the four seats there, which hug their occupant’s body and provide a shockproof ride. The helm itself features two 12-inch multifunction displays (and looks like it could fit another), an engine display, a stereo head unit, three cupholders, a bow thruster joystick, engine throttles, the steering wheel, a glove compartment and more.

Aft of the second row of helm seats, owners can choose a two-person bench seat or an outdoor galley unit. A sunpad on the bow hides a large storage area beneath it and has enough room for two people to stretch out atop it, but given the Omega 45’s capabilities that area should remain unoccupied while it is underway.

Teak decking, an electric windlass, Alcantara upholstery and other premium touches give the RIB a yacht-like feel to complement the super-aggressive profile.

Buyers looking for an inboard version are in luck, as Technohull has options for twin 350, 370 and 400 hp diesels. Triple 300, 350 and 400 hp outboards are other options.

It’s Electric Volvo Penta is on a mission to change marine propulsion, again. The manufacturer unveiled a hybrid propulsion system that will take its IPS pod system and make it flexible, able to operate fully electric or in hybrid mode, thanks to a clutch and an electric motor between the engine and the IPS pods.

Battery packs — scalable for commercial and recreational vessels — will support an electric motor and will be chargeable via external power using AC or DC chargers, or via the primary diesel engine. Sea trials should begin in 2020 and availability is slated for 2021.

By CAPT. PAT RAINS

the schedule and rest when you’re off duty.

A schedule that relies on people taking the helm until they’re tired and then handing control to the next person might seem like a chummy schedule, but it’s not wise for multiple days due to inequity, confusion and disharmony.

FIRST NIGHT

SOUTHBOUND SHAKEDOWN

Boaters heading to Mexico for the winter should embark on a practice cruise with a couple of overnight runs.

THIS MONTH, SEVERAL THOUSAND West

Coast boaters are preparing to head south into Mexican waters. If this includes you but your To-Do list isn’t complete and your boat is disheveled, it might be time for a nice little shakedown cruise.

“Right now? You must be kidding.”

I suggest a simple voyage in local waters, but it should include two overnighters. Some first-timers don’t know that the Pacific side of Baja contains three unavoidable stretches without reliable places to stop for the night.

(See sidebar.) For safety’s sake, you should get comfortable making overnight runs between fuel and rest stops.

Here’s one plan that shakes down four major preparation issues: night running, anchoring, the dinghy and the galley.

Depart home at 5 p.m., spend the first night underway running and come to anchor somewhere the next morning. Spend that day swinging on the hook and testing all the boat’s systems independent of dock power.

By sunset, get back underway and again run overnight. Return home after sunrise.

Establish the watch schedule. With three watch-standers, try three hours on watch and six hours off. Write it down so everyone knows exactly who’s responsible for what and when. At least for the outside of Baja, stick to

The first night is usually a time for learning, especially if this is a new experience for a particular crew on a particular boat.

Prepare a simple meal ahead of time. Lay your course to avoid shipping lanes and keep a simple logbook.

Turn on the running lights before sunset and take a turn around the boat to make sure. To “darken ship,” turn off all the lights in the salon, galley and bridge that could possibly interfere with a watch-stander’s critical night vision on the bridge.

Windshields slanted aft reflect all lights back into an operator’s eyes, so he literally can’t see past the windshield.

On the radar, chartplotters and other bridge electronics, dim the screens’ brilliance controls from daytime use to nighttime. Anyone who’s not familiar with the function may need to explore unfamiliar screen menus or even read the manual.

Some lights can’t be dimmed enough; for those I like to stick patches of low-tack masking tape over them. Another option is to make “quick peek flaps” out of cardboard or dish towels.

At least two pairs of binoculars (7 x 50) should be within reach. If they’ve been dropped, you may need to get them re-collimated. I like image-stabilized, nightvision models with a bearing compass. Red or amber lights are best; use red nail polish to darken the lens of small flashlights. Each crew is responsible for her own amber flashlight on a lanyard.

Run the generator and, if you’re in clean seas, start the water-maker. Remind the next watch to shut it off again.

Try to make a “radio check” on the VHF and SSB. Radio reception often improves when the boat is away from neighboring static or QRN in port. (But offshore is where

Any shakedown cruise before heading south should include not just anchoring but also rigging an anchor bridle to take strain off the windlass and to dampen chain rattle for crewmembers sleeping in the bow.

THE EXPERTS

Any number of things — rotten hoses, excessive corrosion, broken handles and makeshift fixes — can cause a seacock to fail at the wrong time.

SEACOCK INSPECTIONS

Out of sight shouldn’t mean out of mind when it comes to the all-important through-hull valves.

BY CAPT. FRANK LANIER

TUCKED AWAY IN THE dim recesses of the bilge, seacocks too often don’t get a second

thought with regard to preventive maintenance or inspections — until they fail to operate or even break off in a boat owner’s hand during operation. It happens. I’ve seen it and it isn’t pretty. So what makes up a good seacock inspection? Read on.

All through-hull fittings below the heeled waterline of a vessel must be equipped with a seacock, which is simply a valve that controls water entry or discharge through the hull.

Industry standards for seacocks state they must be constructed of marine-grade materials

(e.g., bronze or Marelon) and operated by a lever-type handle through a 90-degree arc, which gives a clear indication of whether the seacock is open or shut.

Acceptable seacocks will be designed and constructed to meet ANSI/UL 1121, Marine Through-Hull Fittings and Sea-Valves and American Boat and Yacht Council’s (ABYC) Standard H-27 Seacocks, Thru-Hull Fittings and Drain Plugs.

The most common types of seacocks are the flanged sea valve, which is a seacock with an integral flange used to support and mount it directly to the hull, and the inline ball valve, which is a seacock designed to be supported entirely by the through-hull fitting. I also see gate valves, but they are not recommended for use as seacocks.

The gate valves I typically encounter while surveying boats are residential-type units purchased at the local big-box store; they are constructed of non-marine materials (brass rather than bronze) and are extremely prone to corrosion and catastrophic failure without warning.

Another strike against gate valves is they give no visual indication of whether they’re open or closed. Worse still, the valve can fail to completely close due to trash or debris, allowing water to enter the vessel even after being “closed.”

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

If your boat is hauled, start the seacock inspection at the through-hull. Look for leaks, cracks, broken bedding seams and other such issues. Bronze through-hulls that are bright and shiny or pinkish in color should be inspected further for dezincification/corrosion issues.

Next, conduct a visual inspection of the seacock and look for anything unusual,

ASK THE EXPERTS such as leaks, damaged or missing components (e.g., handles), and corrosion.

Verify that a seacock backing block has been installed and that the block is tight, leak free, properly sized — its surface area is greater than that of the seacock flange — and, in the case of wood blocks, rot free.

Check the seacock for smooth operation.

Ensure it not only opens and closes but can

be easily reached in an emergency and that the handle can be moved through its full range of operation. On a hauled boat, verify operation of the seacock visually by shining a flashlight into the through-hull from the outside while someone inside opens and closes it. You can also pull the seacock hose to verify operation, which takes more time but allows you to better check the condition

See video of Clean Way in action at cleanwayfuelfill.com

of the hose itself.

If a seacock is difficult to reach, consider installing a pull rod or other such device.

Seacocks that are frozen or difficult to operate should be serviced immediately to return them to full operation.

Old, deteriorated hoses and corroded hose clamps are other seacock-related issues to be checked. Hoses should be supple and exhibit no signs of deterioration, such as cracks and splits, while hose clamps should be tight and free of corrosion. Installation of double hose clamps is also recommended if there is sufficient hose barb to allow it.

Maintenance should include exercising the valve monthly and greasing it (if applicable) annually.

owner’s best friend. If you have a yard you trust, great. If you don’t and are looking, consider these 10 traits before making a choice:  Variety of services.  Equipment condition and sizing.  Familiarity with your type of vessel.  Cleanliness.  Safety features.  Communication.  Integrity and longevity.  Friendliness.  Compatibility.  Respect.

To hold up your end of a pleasant experience with a yard, don’t forget these five things:  Prioritize…or suffer.  Respect the yard’s schedule.  Your subcontractor needs to carry his own insurance.  Respect the yard’s personnel.  Inspect all work prior to signing off on the bill.

weather year. January lasted 166 days, to the middle of June. It rained every day just enough to keep folks from early boating — especially on weekends. It rained just enough to make me call boat owners who wanted to fling their money at me and tell them I couldn’t work on their rigs on trailers or on lifts until the ark floated and it stopped raining.

June 15 marked the beginning of typical Virginia seasonality: rain every day, especially on weekends in case you wanted to go boating, and humid. Perverts ran around town broadcasting the heat index.

If we’d known how bad this week — with July 4 stuck in its middle — would be, we would have embraced 88 degrees that felt like 100.

But we elected to complain bitterly, and then Saturday came. Either an elephant sat on me or my lungs collapsed. Sunday afternoon I finished installing a high-pressure fuel pump on an engine, on a boat on a lift, and the tide had gone all the way to England, leaving a muddy, stinking mess to add its scent to 105 degrees plus the heat index. Three hours of that and all I could think of was, “I’m comin’, ’Lizabeth!”

I noticed that all the boats I’d serviced between raindrops were sitting placidly on their lift, unused. Hmmm, I mused, I wonder where all the people who had to have their boats went?

To the phone, it seems. Fellow number one, good for a July call every year, had some “issues” with his Yamaha and wanted me to slip by on Monday and get it ready so he could fish. I don’t know if he understood it when I said “Go Fish.”

Fellow number two has a boat I’ve been servicing for years, trying to get to a bilge pump I can hear but not see. I rewired the engine after it sank … and sank again after I’d rewired it the first time. The last two years the boat hasn’t moved in his yard. I’ve winterized it twice for free. This year his kids took it out and the engine faltered, so he took it to a dealer up the road who has had it more than 90 days and says it needs

a new computer. The owner called me to see what I thought about the situation.

I told him to sell the damned thing and that way neither of us would have to worry about it again.

Finally, fellow number three — known him 65 years, serviced his boats for nearly 40 — begged me to get his engine to shift easier, so I went over to his place and

removed a pair of Vise-Grips that were clamped around the vertical shift rod that swivels. Each time he tried reverse, the pliers jammed in the cowl and negated reverse. To my amazement, he asked me how they got there.

I think when the weather settles down people will get off the phone and go enjoy themselves. I hope, anyway.

GMR Fantom 54/56 Radar

Polymatrix Ultra Clean

Garmin introduced the GMR Fantom 54/56, its latest evolution in solid-state pulse compression radar with Motionscope Doppler technology, which offers 50 watts of power. The new models can differentiate real targets from noise, determine if a target is moving toward or away from the boat, and they double the power output of existing Fantoms.

Recreational boaters and anglers get improved detection range with more precision and target separation at both close and long range in a solid state.

Fantom 124/126 models with 120 watts of power output are also available. garmin.com/marine

Polymatrix Ultra Clean is a spray-on coating that puts a clear protective barrier on the surface of a boat while enhancing its shine.

This barrier — a tri-molecular titanium bonding solution — protects a boat’s surfaces from salt water and lake and river film; prevents corrosion and discoloration; and allows for easy cleanup. When Polymatrix Ultra Clean is applied to chrome and painted surfaces, it magnifies the brilliance and shine, producing a durable gloss finish.

The kit includes a 4-ounce spray bottle of Ultra Clean, an applicator pad, a microfiber towel and an instruction sheet. protectivecoatingsystems.com

VIKING 37 BILLFISH

At home in any waters, the 37BF is an express fishing cruiser that fills an underserved size range.

WE’RE BACKING DOW N ON a fish I haven’t hooked with a

rod that doesn’t exist. But I’m less interested in whether I can reel in the pelagic behemoth on the business end of the invisible line than I am in how the boat performs in reverse — that boat being the Viking 37 Billfish, a new model from a storied builder that seeks to give anglers an option in the 35- to 40-foot range that isn’t a center console and isn’t outboard powered.

Our back-down goes well. The swim platform helps to knock some of the water down, and when the timing is just right and a small wall of water does come over the transom, cockpit scuppers quickly send the salt water back from whence it came. And an 86-square-foot cockpit gives an engaged angler plenty of room to roam.

As the model name suggests, the 37 Billfish is outfitted as a sportfishing boat. The cockpit alone includes a bait freezer, insulated fish boxes, a transom livewell,

mezzanine seats that conceal tackle stowage and a cooler and a sink, a transom door with a lift gate and five in-gunwale rod holders. Five more rod holders are in a rocket launcher rack on the flybridge.

But let’s back up a bit. Viking wanted to design and build a boat of less than 40 feet that would meet the demands of hardcore anglers who didn’t want an outboard-powered center console and who wanted accommodations beyond a couple of mattresses to crash on at night. As luck would have it, the builder purchased Ocean Yachts’ manufacturing facility and its accompanying accessories, and the Ocean folks happened to have a hull mold for a 37-footer with angling chops and express cruiser potential. Viking made some tweaks, gave the boat a Viking look, added a little of this and subtracted a little of that, and a new boat was born. For hull #10 under Viking ownership — the first one on the

With the addition of a bow pulpit and extended rails, the 37 Billfish cuts a nice profile as it speeds along in excess of 34 knots.

Dual helms, available climate control, an enclosable flybridge, a proper stateroom and head, and a school of fishing options give the 37 Billfish the versatility most families will appreciate, the pelagic chops anglers are sure to maximize and the kind of protection that makes it a multiseason express cruiser.

West Coast, and the one we tested — the Stan Miller Yachts crew got involved and provided the 37BF a West Coast makeover.

The most obvious addition to our test boat has to be the bow pulpit, which, according to Stan Miller president John Buettner, is a must for West Coast fishing. It is integrated nicely into the forward deck, serves as a roof for the anchor, has a groove down the middle for the anchor chain — 300 feet of it — and houses the Lewmar windlass. To contain eager anglers, polished aluminum rails border the bow, and in a further nod to safety, they extend aft to the back of the superstructure, instead of stopping about halfway. Basically, where the cockpit meets

the main cabin bulkhead is where the railing begins, and it runs to the tip of the pulpit.

At the stern is a swim platform, which might be more of a nod to the boat’s multi-activity chops rather than a West Coast thing, but it’s definitely a different look for the model. It includes a ladder that’s tucked underneath, making reboarding easy for swimmers, divers or anglers unlucky enough to have been pulled overboard by the big one. A starboard-side transom door delivers access to and from the platform.

In the cockpit, in addition to the fishing features mentioned previously, buyers can opt for a leaning post that comes with six rod holders and two cupholders. Optional is teak decking, which extends through the salon and helm area, to replace the nonskid surface.

Through the Costa canvas bulkhead (a solid bulkhead is an option) is what Viking calls the command deck, which is mostly encircled by windows and canvas. Both aft corners are fiberglass instead of SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2018 25

Our test boat featured a reversible helm seat (top right). The rest of the main cabin (pictured top left with the standard helm seat) is about comfort.

window glass. In the salon, a sofa settee to starboard can seat two or three people, and a C-shaped dinette to port can accommodate five or six more. And its table can be lowered to serve as the base for an extra cushion, which turns the settee into a berth. The base of both settees lifts hydraulically at the push of a button to reveal the engine spaces, where the Cummins QSB6.7 diesels reside and crank out their combined 1,100 hp.

Forward to starboard is a doublewide captain’s seat and helm console. This is where I discovered another 37 Billfish first. The seatback of the captain’s seat, instead of being a molded component, is on posts that can be secured in holders that create a forward- or rear-facing seat. Two holders are set into the rear of the base and two are forward. With the boat on the hook or at the dock, the helm seat becomes the short part of an L-shaped settee, and its base conceals a four-drawer tackle station. Captains who prefer a bolster might not love the arrangement — the seat doesn’t have one — but it definitely enhances the boat’s entertaining factor.

The helm station is composed of a forward leaning upper section that can house a couple of 12-inch MFDs or one 12-incher and several smaller instruments, including an engine display, and a lower section that angles downward and includes a steering wheel, engine throttles, a joystick (if so outfitted), a VHF, a stereo head unit and switches.

Down a centerline set of stairs, in an ode to efficient use of space, is an accommodations deck that’s dominated by high-gloss teak paneling and cabinets and includes a galley, a head with a shower stall and a stateroom.

An L-shaped Corian countertop defines the galley space to starboard. Above it are cabinets and a microwave/convection oven, and below it are refrigerator/freezer drawers and storage. A stainless sink is in the corner of the L, to leave as much work space as possible, and an electric cooktop in the short part of the L can be covered by a Corian lid when it’s not in use.

Opposite the galley, the head includes a Corian countertop and backsplash, and storage under the sink and in cabinets behind a large mirror. A head and a separate standup shower stall complete the space.

An island queen berth anchored the stateroom on our test boat, but fans of a more traditional sportfisher can opt for an over-under scissored bunk arrangement.

Cabinets hug the starboard hullside, while to port is a large fishing rod shelf that can hold an assembly of rods. Twin maple-lined hanging lockers round out the accouterments and the storage, and an overhead hatch brings in natural light and air.

Up a portside cockpit ladder is the 37 Billfish’s flybridge. A centered helm console is surrounded by seating. To either side are cushioned bench seats with room for two or three rear ends. Forward, built in as part of the helm console, is a two-person bench seat that provides a great forward-facing view. Our test boat had two captain’s chairs

at the helm, the second one being a sensible option. Combined, there’s room for eight to 10 anglers to sit and exchange lies.

The helm console provides room on its forward-leaning dash section for twin big-screen MFDs and smaller instrument displays. The steering wheel is front and center on a prominent pod that’s integrated with the console, and tall Palm Beach-style throttles are split to either side to ensure an aft-facing captain can keep the boat in pursuit of a fish.

A molded fiberglass hardtop covers the bridge, and a canvas enclosure is an option.

We made plenty of at-speed runs on test day, both to gather numbers and to pose the boat for photos, and it can hold a sporty lean during hard turns without sliding or skidding. The transition from hard port to hard starboard was smooth and quick. Some spray reached the windshield when we headed into the swell, but the sharp entry and hard chine did a good job knocking

most of the water down and keeping the ride smooth instead of pounding.

The twin Cummins QSB6.7 diesels pushed the 37 Billfish to a top speed of 34.5 knots on test day, at which point the engines were burning a combined 56.5 gph, for a range of about 241 miles, with a 10 percent reserve. Owners can choose their cruise speed. We found a range of 270 miles at 3040 rpm and 30.7 knots, and 287 miles at 2850 rpm and 28.3 knots. Dropping down to 20 knots extends the range to 337 miles (23.5 gph). Slowing way down to 1020 rpm, which yields 7.5 knots, pushes the boat’s range to a little more than 870 miles.

Viking knows the 37 Billfish needs to be able to do more, so it is pre-plumbed for a DC bait system (fishing) and prepped for a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer (family cruising and fishing). High-gloss teak belowdecks lends a yacht-like feel, and available air conditioning on the command deck means the family can go out anytime.

Tester’s Opinion

The Jeanneau NC 1095 is an excellent example of how utilizing outboards instead of inboards can allow for more flexibility in design, along with vastly improved performance.

JEANNEAU NC 1095

Is it a cruiser or a sportboat? Yes. I’M STANDING AT THE wheel as we cruise down the South River toward Chesapeake Bay, with 600 total Yamaha horses on the transom, props spinning at 4500 rpm and the GPS showing a speed of just over 32 mph. That’s a pretty energetic cruising speed, especially for a cruiser. But I just can’t resist pushing the Jeanneau NC 1095’s limits — this is, after all, a boat test — so I slap the throttles forward and inch up the trim until the twin F300s are turning at WOT, 6000 rpm.

The boat leaps forward, blows right past 40 mph and tops out at 44.

We have the windows down, the huge overhead sunroof pulled back and the triple-pane aft bulkhead sliding-glass door wide open, and the breeze feels great. But for some reason, the guy from Jeanneau wants to close up the entire cabin while we blast across the water’s surface. As the final window clicks shut, I understand why.

With the elements sealed out, it’s nearly silent The boat leaps inside the salon, despite forward, blows right all the rapid-fire internal combustion going on at past 40 mph and the transom. We can talk tops out at 44. at normal levels while the boat runs at full tilt, and when I ease back to 4500 rpm again — fuel burn at cruise is 31.5 gph, netting a hair more than 1 mpg — sound levels at the helm are negligible. Sweet.

Cranking the wheel hard over at cruise proved that the deep-V hull has a firm grip. And while running parallel to boat wakes and at rest in the trough, the boat showed excellent stability. Surprisingly excellent, no doubt one of the benefits of the 1095’s relatively low profile and correspondingly low center of gravity. Add to that the boat’s relatively beamy disposition, and rocking and rolling are greatly reduced.

What about dockside handling? The close-together outboards won’t spin the boat like a ballerina when opposed, which is why our test boat had an optional bow thruster installed. Fortunately, shifting the engines and prodding the joystick makes it a piece of cake to maneuver the boat. I highly recommend the bow thruster to anyone purchasing the NC 1095. It will make life a lot easier at the end of the day when it’s time to shoehorn into a tight slip or fight a breeze to slide up next to the fuel dock.

A dinette and galley occupy most of the main cabin. The dinette’s forward seatback shifts aft to create a companion seat. A filler cushion creates a sunpad in the cockpit. The helm is compact but complete.

dedicated a lot of the available space to the enclosed head compartment, giving it the room needed to include a separate stall shower instead of making it a wet head.

Nifty perk: The swing-down seat in the shower allows occupants to chillax as they rinse off after a day on the bay.

The sporty performance in a cruiser may at first seem to be the character trait that sets the NC 1095 apart from much of its competition, and it certainly does rate one’s attention. The even bigger surprise, however, comes in the cabin. Because despite having just more than 34 feet of LOA, this boat actually has three private staterooms.

OK, it’s a stretch to call the port- and starboard-side mid-cabin berths “staterooms.” But uncomplicated and compact as they may be, they are both completely private. They have a door at the entry, enough headroom at the entrance to step in and close the door, and a double berth big enough for a couple. The portside version also has enough space for a single seat and a compact hanging locker.

The starboard side is a bit tighter and integrates a hanging locker that can contain a refrigerator, forward of the bunk. The idea here is that the room can serve double duty as a pantry and be used for bulk stowage during longer cruises and when not in use as a stateroom.

The forward stateroom is similarly simple: a pedestal berth with a small hanging locker and stowage compartments around the perimeter. Jeanneau could have made it larger but instead wisely

Functionality defines the spaces in the 1095, including a full shower stall in the head and a stone cover for the galley cooktop. Two staterooms are standard, including the main one forward (bottom right), while a third is optional.

The salon has a fairly traditional cruiser arrangement, with the helm on starboard, a galley behind it and a dinette to port.

The galley has a two-burner cooktop, a sink, a 21-gallon refrigerator and stowage compartments. Two interesting notes about the salon. One, the forward dinette seat has a swing-back backrest that also shifts the seat base, so it converts into a forward-facing companion seat. The entire affair can also be converted into a berth, giving the boat sleeping accommodations for a grand total of eight people. Two, there’s a side door at the helm that makes it easy to move from the wheel to the bow or stern for line-handling duties. I love the door but wish the catch, and the one on the aft sliding door, was recessed. It sticks out a hair and caught my shirt a couple of times when I wasn’t paying attention.

The other place I see a bit of room for improvement in the cabin is with the dinette table’s swing-up support arm. It does the job, but if anyone folds the side of the table up and then leans on the edge, it bends a bit. Beefing up the support would be a good move.

Like many cruisers of this size, the Jeanneau NC 1095 has an L-shaped settee in the cockpit, and a table. Where it differs from other cruisers is the aft part of the “L” is mounted on sliding tracks. Pull a couple of pins and it slides all the way back, enlarging the cockpit when the boat is running; slide it forward again at the end of the day to make room to tilt the outboards up. Just remember not to tilt the engines up without first moving the seating unit forward.

Added bonus: Jeanneau puts a swingaway section in the port side of the seatback, so passengers can board the boat from the port side, if need be, when the boat is docked. The starboard side has a swing-in gunwale door — divers can make good use of it too — that is the intended point of

easy to navigate and most people will walk forward on that side, but to port there’s also a usable just-in-case sidedeck.

Another cool way Jeanneau expands exterior space is by putting a pair of lounges on the bow, to either side of the cabin’s overhead hatch, each with a flip-up seatback. This sort of arrangement has become fairly common on modern cruisers, and it’s an excellent use of space. Where Jeanneau takes it up a notch is in the front of the cabin-top, where a dedicated stowage compartment is molded in. Flip the hatch open to discover filler cushions for the section between the two lounges. They can become one huge sunpad.

As outboards get more and more powerful, outboard cruisers can grow bigger.

And the Jeanneau NC 1095 is an excellent example of how utilizing outboards instead of inboards can allow for more flexibility in design, along with vastly improved performance.

JAMES AND CLAIRE ELLINGFORD and their daughters Abi and Bianca, now 17 and 14, bid g’day to their homeport of Sydney, Australia, back in 2015 and motored into the big, blue Pacific Ocean. Their plan was to circumnavigate the globe over the course of more than six years aboard their Nordhavn 62, Pendana, and that’s still the plan, but the timeline has been extended, most notably by 10 extra months in Hawaii. They’ve been in U.S., Canadian and Mexican waters for more than three years, experiencing everything some of the world’s best cruising grounds have to offer.

We interacted with James via email as Pendana left Southern California and headed to Mexico. Here are his thoughts on Seattle, Prince William Sound, San Francisco, Vegemite and more.

The Ellingford crew — James, Claire (not pictured), Abi (left) and Bianca — have taken Pendana to Hawaii (near left), Prince William Sound (above right) and points from the Inside Passage to Mexico.

Sea: You’ve been on the U.S. West Coast for a few years now. What has surprised you most, both pleasantly and not so pleasantly?

James Elling ford: We entered U.S. waters back in July 2015 when we arrived at the Big Island of Hawaii after a tough run north from Kiritimati. There is little doubt that we love cruising the U.S., from Hawaii to Alaska and all points in between. As for surprises, to start with your navigation markers are on the wrong side!

Coming from Australia we follow the reverse, with ‘port left to last’ rather than ‘red right returning.’ Either way, with modern electronic charting software it was pretty simple to adjust.

From Kodiak, Alaska, down the Inside Passage to Seattle we were amazed at how well catered to the boating community is here in the U.S. It was a pleasure to be able to take the tender to places that actually had courtesy docks to use, unlike Australia where the idea of courtesy docks is a very foreign concept indeed.

On the downside, I guess there are lots of folks who forget to pull their fenders in while underway. This is apparent in spades in Marina del Rey where I truly believe leaving one’s fenders out is the norm.

What have been a couple of big differences between the Pacific Northwest and your home waters? Similarities?

As mentioned there is little doubt that the boating community is well catered to in the PNW, and that is in stark contrast with Australian waters. Sure, we have great marinas in Australia, but anyone who has ever tried to find a place to tie up a tender in Sydney Harbour will know the challenge one faces. These challenges are simply not

present in the PNW. The other major difference is the PNW has bears and extremely cold water. I was convinced we were going to be eaten by bears and was perplexed as to why I was always being asked to go out to look for bears. Not until recently did the why become apparent: the slowest runner will be the one attacked. That’s me! The idea of bears and freezing cold water was something we had to adjust to and educate ourselves about very quickly. Water temps in Australia are not so extreme and the only bears we have are Koala bears, which are more likely to cuddle you to death.

The sheer vastness of the PNW, in particular the areas between Kodiak and Prince

William Sound, are without description, nor can they be compared to anything I have ever seen. Given glaciers almost the size of Sydney Harbour, it was difficult for us to comprehend the majesty of the area. A truly special place indeed! If God’s hand has touched any place, it has touched Prince William Sound.

Same question about California.

When traveling by motorboat, one gets to become very familiar with local weather, and I guess a real surprise for us was just how windy San Francisco is. I am not a huge fan of anything over 10 knots, and in this respect San Francisco delivered much more than reasonable. I was also

surprised at how few available berths there were in San Francisco for boats our size. Honestly, we found it a real challenge to get in anywhere. There is little doubt that San Francisco misses a lot of visitors simply because of its lack of berth accommodations available to mariners.

Maybe this is by design?

The Los Angeles and Marina del Rey area was in stark contrast to what we experienced in San Francisco.

Massive marinas, lots of space, little wind — altogether a delight. In L.A. we stayed at Marina Harbor Anchorage, which was a very special place indeed.

Stable power, heated swimming pool, mess room, laundry facilities, secure parking, great view, full gym, walking trails. All this a stone’s throw from Venice

Beach. What more could one ask? Throw in a wonderful marina manager and staff, and it sure makes for a truly great marina.

One thing that is evident here in the U.S. is the number of marinas that provide gyms, swimming pools and barbecue facilities. This is not something one finds with Australian marinas, which is a real shame.

Was there anything you hadn’t seen or experienced before your travels around the Pacific Northwest and California?

Both my wife and I were acutely aware of the massive tidal range that exists in the PNW and the currents these tides generate.

To say we were a little apprehensive would be appropriate. We often remarked, “If we can survive the PNW we can survive anything.”

One thing that is true when traveling the world’s oceans is that every marina is a new marina, every piece of water is new and local knowledge is something one finds lacking when traveling to new areas. As such, we have a few hard and fast rules. One, we never arrive anywhere unless during daylight hours and at slack tide, preferably high tide. We have on two occasions circled for a few hours waiting for daylight to break: at the outer reefs in Fiji and on arrival into L.A. and Marina del Rey. If these were homeports where we had entered and exited hundreds of times before, it wouldn’t be an issue, but as every port is a new port, we err on the side of caution and only arrive in daylight hours.

Our boat is a full-displacement trawler, a Nordhavn 62, so we are aware that currents, eddies and whirlpools are something we don’t have the power to fight.

As such, we ensured that all passages were timed perfectly to reduce the effects of the massive tides. In comparison, in Sydney Harbour a large current is 1.5 knots. I guess we now have a totally new perspective on what a large tide/current flow is.

What are a few of your favorite locations since you left Sydney? Why are they so special?

At the top of our list as the most amazing place on the face of planet Earth would have to be Prince William Sound. I often tell people, “Don’t die until you have seen Prince William Sound.” And I mean it. The majesty and sheer scale of it cannot be put into words. It’s like experiencing the planet unspoiled, untouched, undeveloped — the way it was meant to be — and the vast amount of wildlife made us feel like we were in a David Attenborough documentary special. There is simply no comparison SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2018 35

Seattle. Yes, Seattle! Without the boat there is no way we would have ever holidayed in Seattle, as it simply would not have made any sense. As such, we would have missed a truly great city. For us, Seattle was everything a small city should be: • Lots of boating due to Seattle being home to the Alaska fishing fleet.

• The wonderful old town of Ballard and its cobblestoned streets.

• A city that is easy to navigate, not overly congested, like so many.

• Of course, a city that is home to Amazon.

Being on a boat and being able to have orders delivered to the dock was a real plus.

Gotta love Amazon!

Our time in Hawaii was also very special. While we originally planned to stay four weeks, we simply couldn’t leave and decided to stay 11 months. We were blessed with an end-tie at the Waikiki Yacht Club

Finally, Kiritimati, or Christmas Island (part of the Line Islands).

It lies just 140 miles north of the equator and is the most wonderful picture-postcard remote tropical island one could ever visit. It is truly the reality of everything one thinks of when thinking of a remote tropical island: friendly people who were by far the friendliest in the entire Pacific, wildlife in such abundance we felt like we were anchored in a fish tank, and an island so untouched and unspoiled that it takes one’s breath away. The word pristine is reserved exclusively for this little island in the middle of nowhere.

Every place we visit is special in some way, but the four above, for us, hold a very special place in our heart and will never be forgotten.

What tips do you have for boat owners about crossing an ocean or covering a long distance?

Just do it, as we are all a long time dead.

That said, traveling the world by boat is not for the faint of heart and it’s certainly not for everyone. Oceans are enormous, and you can go days and weeks without seeing anything. Our trip from Hawaii to Kodiak was a lonely 11 days with nothing but us, our trusty Pendana and the ocean.

It’s not all gin and tonics on the rear deck but rather enormously hard work that requires a dedication to long-held principles about making safe passage so one actually arrives. Being on watch means precisely that, and I shake my head when I hear folks say they watch TV while on watch. In my view, that behaviour is a recipe for disaster.

There have been countless times when we have had to alter course quickly to avoid a sleeping whale, discarded fishing nets or logs the size of cars. We avoided them not because we are overly clever or have superhuman abilities but rather because we abide by long-held principles and take the job of being on watch very seriously indeed.

If one is planning to go to sea, it is imperative he understands what he is getting into, as the ocean can snap a boat in two as easily as we can snap a matchstick. One must be resourceful and understand all systems on the boat in case of failure. I am not saying everyone has to be a superhuman mechanic or electrician — I fail terribly on both these fronts — but one must understand where his strengths and weaknesses lie, so that he can prepare the boat accordingly.

Finally, everyone should get as much rest as possible. On Pendana we call it banking sleep. Basically for the first few days at sea we all try to sleep as much as humanly possible. We have several reasons for this, but most importantly it passes the time and ensures that if there is an emergency we are well rested so the correct decisions can be made when we’re called to make them. I suppose it’s not as much of an issue with a larger crew, but since we have just my wife and I doing

four hours on, four hours off, we need to be well rested and take advantage of being asleep when we can.

Pendana spent a fair amount of time in a Seattle boatyard. What was that experience like?

Overall our experience was a pleasant one. That said, we needed to get through our first ever set of locks, the Ballard Locks.

While very picturesque, they unnerved us the first time we went through. During our mini refit, we stayed at Salmon Bay Marine Center, which was a world-class marina that provided 100MB Wi-Fi internet

like fighter jets on a mission and countless sunrises and sunsets that rival any photo ever taken. We have seen and experienced rogue waves come from nowhere and roll Pendana awake, and we’ve seen the rare Dall’s porpoise of Alaska. From hundreds of hungry bald eagles to brown and black bears along the shoreline, there is little doubt that this trip is not only a feast for our eyes but also our other senses.

Is there anything you think West Coast boaters might take for granted that they should appreciate more?

Only how close you all are to the Pacific Northwest and, more importantly, Prince William Sound. I beg you, don’t stop and turn around at Glacier Bay; keep going and you will be rewarded with paradise on Earth.

F THE MANY onboard items that make boating as we know it possible, batteries are arguably the most important. Unfortunately, it’s a sad fact that batteries rarely die a natural death. Most are victims of unwitting owners.

Knowing how to properly select and install boat batteries can ensure they live to a ripe old age.

BATTERY 101

Batteries convert chemical energy into electricity via a galvanic cell, which is formed by suspending two dissimilar metal plates within an electrolyte. Once the plates are surrounded by electrolyte, an electrical voltage develops between them, the amount of which varies depending on the types of metal used and the electrolyte itself. Lead-acid batteries (the focus of this story) consist of a sulfuric acid electrolyte and plates of lead dioxide and sponge lead, thus the name: lead-acid.

LINGO

By CAPT. FRANK LANIER

Before discussing the various types of batteries available, here’s a review of a few terms that will aid in selecting the right one.

Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) represent the maximum number of amps a new, fully charged 12v battery can deliver at 0 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 seconds while maintaining a voltage of at least 7.2v (1.2v per cell).

Marine Cranking Amps (MCA) is a term used to rate how much cranking power a new, fully charged 12v battery provides at 32 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 seconds while maintaining at least 7.2v (1.2v per cell).

Amp-Hours (AH) express a battery’s storage capacity, and the measurement is determined by multiplying current draw (in amps) by the length of time (in hours) that it takes a battery to discharge. A battery capable of providing 5 amperes for 20 hours (5 amperes times 20 hours) would have 100 amp-hours of capacity, as would one that delivers 4 amperes for 25 hours.

The rate and discharge time can vary, but the battery’s electrical storage capacity remains the same.

Reserve Capacity (RC) of a battery is the number of minutes it can supply a constant, specified voltage (normally 25 amps) at 80 degrees Fahrenheit while maintaining at least 10.5v. It’s SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2018

+Feature Batteries.indd 39

8/30/18 7:06 AM

designed to give the buyer an idea of how long the battery can continue to supply power to essential accessories after a charging system failure.

The 20-Hour Rating states the amperage a new, fully charged battery can supply for 20 hours at a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This is also known as the Amp-Hour Capacity of a battery.

Cycle Life is the number of discharge and charge cycles a battery can deliver over its service life. One battery cycle is defined as discharge from a full charge to a complete discharge and then back to a usable full charge again, usually from 100 percent to 20 percent and then back to 100 percent, although the percentage of discharge varies between ratings.

SO…?

What’s it all mean, you ask? For starters, the burden is on the consumer to ensure the playing field is level when he compares and contrasts the various ratings manufacturers use in their advertising.

Battery A, which costs $100, offers 900 CCA. Battery B, which costs $75, offers 900 MCA. Both provide the same amperage, so B appears to be the better value initially, but the informed buyer (that’d be you) knows that MCA is a rating performed at 32 degrees Fahrenheit while CCA uses 0 degrees as a reference point. Any battery will have higher MCA than CCA. Since battery performance degrades with lower temperatures, if battery A provides the same amps at 0 degrees that battery B does at 32 degrees, we can assume it’s likely a stronger, more robust product.

Manufacturers may also use different discharge periods to generate higher AH numbers for their product. For example, a battery can have a 20-hour rate of 344 AH, as well as a 100-hour rate of 429 AH. It’s easy to see how buyers comparing two batteries with similar capacities but different hour rates would logically assume the one with the higher AHs is more powerful, unless they’re aware of the difference in hour rates.

KNOW YOUR TYPE

One of the first decisions to be made when battery shopping is whether to go with a wet-cell battery or one of the newer technologies, such as gel-cell or AGM. All wet-cell, gel-cell and AGM styles are lead-acid batteries in one form or another — meaning they all use the same chemistry despite variations in construction — and each can be designed for starting or storage applications. Familiarization with the pros and cons of each will help match the right style with the job at hand.

Wet-cell Although the oldest design wet-cell, aka flooded, batteries are still the workhorse of the industry and considered by many boat owners to offer the best value. Their design consists of flat, lead plates immersed in a liquid sulfuric acid solution.

Wet-cell batteries either have removable caps, so owners can add water to the cells lost during the charge/discharge cycle, or are of the sealed, maintenance-free variety (see Maintenance-free? sidebar). Despite being old-school technology, wet-cell batteries offer some attractive advantages over gel-cell and AGM batteries. They’re cheaper, have an excellent cost-to-life-cycle ratio (provided they’re properly maintained) and are more tolerant to abuses such as over- or undercharging.

As to wet-cell cons, they don’t hold a charge as long as gel-cells and AGMs, are more prone to internal shorting and vibration damage, and can leak electrolyte if placed at odd angles or punctured.

The fact they need regular maintenance, mainly the addition of water, is considered

by some to be a disadvantage, as is the fact they generate explosive gases during charging, a phenomenon known as gassing.

Gassing and the corrosive acid mist that accompanies it mean proper ventilation is an important consideration for any wet-cell installation.

Gel-cell Many of the negative aspects associated with wet-cell batteries involve electrolyte leakage or loss. The electrolyte in gelled acid or gel-cell batteries is immobilized by adding silica gel to the sulfuric acid solution, creating a more or less solid, gelatinous goo that is then placed within a pressurized, sealed battery that utilizes special valves for venting needs. Both gel-cells and AGMs are recombinant batteries, meaning water lost during operation is reclaimed internally.

The result is a truly maintenance-free battery in which the electrolyte can’t be spilled due to the case suffering damage or being tipped over. Gel-cells operate equally well in most any position, except

upside-down, and even underwater.

Other advantages include a virtual lack of gassing and the ability to hold a charge longer than wet-cells. They can also discharge a lot of current and are less susceptible to damage if left in a discharged state.

Gel-cell disadvantages start with cost, which is significantly more than wet-cell batteries. They also recharge inefficiently after they’ve been deeply discharged, as most of the charge current applied during recharging produces heat rather than the chemical process necessary for recharging.

This means they have to be charged at a lower voltage — no fast charges — than wet-cell or AGM batteries or the heat produced during overcharging can create permanent voids in the gel, which reduces battery capacity.

They can also lose water if battery temperature is excessive, such as occurs during improper charging or during use in hotter climates. That’s the purpose of those special valves mentioned previously, which are essentially one-way vents designed to release gas in just such situations. This lost water can’t be replaced, so extreme cases of excess venting can result in premature battery failure.

Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) The next evolutionary step for lead-acid

batteries is AGM, which utilizes a fiberglass mat rather than gelling material to hold the electrolyte in place. This design is also known as “starved electrolyte” construction, because the fiberglass mat is only 95 percent saturated with electrolyte, to ensure there’s no excess acid to leak, even if the case is damaged.

AGM batteries have all the advantages of gel-cells with virtually none of their shortcomings. Their plates are more securely packed than wet- or gel-cells, and their construction is so robust they’ll survive installations that would literally shake a standard battery to pieces.

Since there’s no liquid that can expand, AGM batteries can survive freezing, and unlike gel-cells their internal resistance is extremely low, meaning almost no battery heating occurs even during heavy charge and discharge currents. They also have the highest charge acceptance rate, efficiency and life expectancy. Their self-discharge rate is also lower, meaning they can be stored longer without charging than standard batteries, which is a plus for use on boats that may be left unattended for months at a time.

The primary disadvantage associated with AGM batteries is cost, which can be two to three times that of a comparable wet-cell battery. Another would be intolerance to overcharging.

8/29/18 9:42 AM

Maintenance-free?

Gel-cell and AGM batteries are both VRLA (valve-regulated lead-acid) batteries, which simply means a tiny valve keeps the battery under pressure but allows venting when necessary. It’s one of the features that makes these batteries recombinant — oxygen and hydrogen generated during use are recombined inside the battery — and truly maintenance-free.

Most of the cheaper “no-maintenance” batteries offered at the megamart are simply sealed wet-cell batteries that contain an internal reservoir of electrolyte, which is used to replace whatever water is lost during recharging. The problem is this reservoir is eventually used up and there’s no way to replenish it, so the battery will likely succumb to an early death simply so the owner doesn’t have to add a little water.

STARTING VS. STORAGE

Starting batteries are constructed of thinner plates that are more numerous, a design that maximizes surface area and provides the highest burst of current possible, which is exactly what’s needed for cranking an engine.

Deep-cycle batteries have fewer plates, but they’re thicker, which is a requirement to survive prolonged discharges. This reduced surface area provides less cranking power, and that’s one reason deep-cycle batteries have to be oversized when used as a starting battery.

What starting batteries are not designed for are deep discharges. This isn’t a problem under normal use, since only a small amount of the battery’s actual capacity is used during cranking, and that amount is quickly replaced by the alternator once the engine starts running. The problems start when they’re forced to work as a deep-cycle battery and are subjected to the deep discharges associated with them, which

causes their thinner plates to buckle and fail rapidly.

Deep cycle is a chronically abused buzzword touted by many battery manufacturers to imply a more robust, heavy-duty product. While any battery can technically be termed “deep cycle” — all can be deeply discharged and recharged — only a true deep-cycle battery is designed to withstand such discharges time and again without premature failure.

Cheaper substitutes, such as those that utilize lead sponge plates, can suffer irreversible damage after only a few such deep discharge cycles. A true top-of-the-line deep-cycle battery has solid lead plates that allow hundreds of deep discharges of up to 80 percent with no significant reduction in projected service life.

INSTALLATION BASICS

Section E-10 of the American Boat & Yacht Council’s “Standards And Technical Information Reports For Small Craft”

covers battery installation requirements in great detail, but we’ll touch on the basics here, which are generally the same for wet-cell, gel-cell or AGM. Install batteries in liquid-tight/acidproof battery trays or boxes. Boat owners can purchase these or make their own as long as they meet the ABYC requirements.

DIYers need to make sure the mounting hardware (e.g., bolts, screws) doesn’t compromise the leak-proof quality of the containers.

Batteries must be secured against movement. The requirement is 1 inch maximum in any direction for at least one minute when exposed to 90 pounds of pull or twice the weight of the battery, whichever is less.

All positive terminals must be covered to prevent accidental shorting from things such as dropped tools. This requirement can be satisfied by the use of rubber or plastic terminal caps or boots, non-conductive covers or by the lid of a battery box.

They must be installed in a cool, well-ventilated area well above the normal accumulation of bilge water. Adequate ventilation is critical to remove fumes and gases that are generated during charging.

Chargers or other electronics should never be installed directly above a battery or bank, as they could be damaged by these corrosive vapors.

Never install batteries above or below fuel tanks, fuel filters, fuel-line fittings or similar fuel system components.

Installation above or below an uninterrupted (one-piece), non-metallic fuel line is OK, but any metallic part of the fuel system within 12 inches of a battery terminal must be shielded to prevent sparks.

Battery terminal connectors must provide secure mechanical and electrical connections, meaning spring clips and alligator clamps are not acceptable. The use of wing nuts is also prohibited for battery cables and other conductors size 6 AWG and greater, because they’re difficult to properly torque and can work loose due to vessel movement.

If provided by the manufacturer for use in attaching primary leads, replace them with marine-grade lock nuts.

“I see a blow!” My husband spots a humpback whale near the south entrance to Port Houg hton, one of many fjords between Juneau and Petersburg in southeast Alaska. Even from a quarter of a mile away we see the whale’s spout before its sleek back curves through the water and disappears into the flat gray sea.

Reflection, our 42-foot Nordic Tug, is immobile but remains upright and level.

My eyes dart across the narrow starboard walkway and downward. It’s a huge rock.

Pocked with white barnacles, it lies inches away in clear salt water.

In the center of the pilothouse, Paul stands at the helm and scrutinizes the

We used our stuck-on-a-submerged-rock experience to deepen our diligence and hone our routines.

“Let me get the boat around this reef,” Paul says. “We’ll be closer when the whale comes up again and get better photos.”

As Paul steers away from the shallow, rocky area northwest of Point Walpole, I continue to watch for the humpback, camera at the ready. Paul rounds the shoals as I spot another column of vapor. He takes the boat out of gear and we glide forward.

I stand in the open pilothouse door, starboard side, peering through my camera’s lens. The whale surfaces a hundred yards distant. I hear the drawer below the dash slide open as Paul rustles through papers for his small video camera. The drawer clicks shut.

“OK, where is it?” He says as he steps behind me.

“See,” I point to a spot off our bow, “there’s the top of its back, barely above the wat…”

“Oh no.” Paul’s voice is quiet, urgent. He moves toward the dash as the nightmarish sound of fiberglass grinding across rock fills the boat.

Screeeech, screeech, screeech.

My heart flutters. My stomach flips.

The boat shudders as the high-pitched squeal continues. It fills my head, soaks through my skin, digs into my bones.

My thoughts run together: It’s an outgoing tide — we’re not going to get off this rock — what can I do?

“Life jackets.” I turn to the pilothouse, kneel down, slam open a locker door and pull two out. Paul, continuing to assess our situation, ignores the yellow preserver I offer him. With shaking hands I drop it onto the floor and sling my arms into my jacket, zip it up and look out at the massive rock that stretches six feet beyond the starboard side.

Paul pushes past me, runs down the steps to the salon and out the stern door.

While he’s gone, I scan the calm waters surrounding us, whale forgotten, jumbled thoughts racing through my head: Two boats were heading through those islands we just passed — they’ll be able to help — we can hail the Coast Guard on the radio — need to put out a mayday call — we need to get the dinghy in the water — the cat! — she’s sound asleep — is there time to get her carrier? — the ditch bag — it’ll be ok — bestcase scenario we’ll limp back to Petersburg, spend a week or two making repairs — how fast our plans change — help is near so everything’s going to be OK. “I didn’t see anything off the stern,” SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2018 45

Paul says as he races up the five steps to the pilothouse.

“Shut that door,” he yells as he points to the life jacket locker below the settee. Its door opens from the top and now lies on the floor where I’d left it. There’s hardly room to walk around. Kneeling down, I slam it shut.

Paul yells, “What’s the tide doing?”

“Ebbing. It’s about an hour past high tide.”

Soon the rock will be bare, there won’t be any water to keep Reflection afloat. How steep is this rock? My stomach sloshes back and forth, keeping pace with my trembling hands, arms, legs.

• From where Paul stands in front of the helm in the center of the pilothouse, he can see the rock through the starboard door. But he sees only water when he glances to the left. Without a word, he simultaneously presses the levers for the bow and stern thrusters in short spurts to the portside. Whirr. Whirr. Whirr. The air fills with the mechanical sound of the thrusters.

Then screeech as the boat tries to move off the rock. Reflection shakes back and forth … and doesn’t budge.

“How much rock is on the port?” Paul’s voice, loud, tense.

Glancing through the left door, I see a fuzzy outline and guess. “Maybe a foot and a half.”

He works the thrusters. The boat shakes.

Screeeech.

“Are we moving?” Urgently, Paul turns the thrusters on, off, on, off. The boat jerks, jerks, jerks.

“Are we moving?”

“I think … maybe … a little.” The boat shudders as Paul manipulates the two thrusters. I want Reflection to leap off the rock. I will her to move. In reality we shift no more than an inch or two.

“Donna, go to the back, double-check there isn’t any rock near the stern or the prop.” I stride toward the steps.

“Run,” Paul yells. I scurry down the stairs, across the salon, through the stern door to the transom. I stare down into dark water.

“Is there rock?” Paul’s voice thunders. My brain is numb. I don’t want to see a rock.

Maybe there is a rock, but my brain has convinced me nothing’s there. What if I tell him there’s no rock and he backs onto it? What if the prop hits it? I stare hard. I look to port and to starboard. I look below the stern. I look five

“Is there any rock?”

“No!” Immediately, Paul throws Reflection into reverse.

Scrape. Scritch. Scrape.

Silence. No screeching. No sound of fiberglass grating across rock. No sound of a metal prop dinging across rock. Only the rhythmic rumble of the engine.

We’re floating.

• I hurry back to the pilothouse.

“Do you want me to see if there’s any water in the engine room bilge?” I say.

“Not yet. As soon as we get into deeper water I’ll double-check the bilges while you steer.” The fathometer reads 39 feet. “All the automatic indicator lights for the bilges are off. That’s good. The gauges show everything’s working correctly. The water temperature in the engine is normal. The oil pressure is normal. So far, there are no vibrations anywhere. The prop is probably fine. In a few minutes, after I check the bilges, I’ll increase the rpms and see how the propeller does. It’ll vibrate if there’s a problem.”

Reflection idles forward: 45 feet … 62 feet …

88 feet of water below us.

“OK. You take over, Donna. Keep us going toward that mountain peak at the end of the bay. I’ll be right back.” He doesn’t need to tell me to watch the fathometer.

The loud, steady hum of the engine is like music when Paul opens the hatch in the salon and climbs down into the engine room. I’m glad to have something to do. I look for debris in the water. I keep Reflection on a straight course. But mostly I make sure we have plenty of water between us and the ocean floor.

A few minutes later Paul climbs back into the salon, drops the hatch in place and the muted sound of the purring engine fills the boat. He checks the bilges underneath the guest stateroom and inside the lazarette before he returns to the pilothouse.

“Thank goodness there’s no water leaking anywhere,” he says.

Paul takes over the controls and gradually pushes the throttle to 2000 rpm where we’re running at 10 knots. I continue to shake. My

stomach churns. I cannot get the image of that gargantuan rocky surface out of my head. Focusing over the bow, I watch for floating logs or branches. Each time I glance at the fathometer its colored diagram shows the bottom dropping steadily: 185 feet, 221 feet, 264 feet — plenty of water.

moment. In the future we’ll take turns at the wheel. We have to make sure one of us is always responsible for the helm.”

“Yep, you’re right about that,” he says.

A moment later, “Hey, there’s another humpback.”

“I’ve seen enough whales for today,” I reply. “Let’s drop the anchor and go kayaking.”

•

• When we returned to Port Angeles and hauled Reflection out of the water, we found several foot-long scratches along the bottom of the keel. The propeller was untouched. The terrible sounds we heard as the boat scraped across the rock barely left any damage. It cost less than $400 to repair.

“Do you notice there’s no shimmying, no knocking, no vibrations? Donna, the rudder’s fine, the prop is fine. We got lucky this time. We were pretty flat on that rock.

In fact, I think we may have just nudged it. Did you notice the boat never really listed? When the keel scraped across the rock the sound was terrible, but it did its job protecting the bottom of the boat. It protected the prop. It probably got some scratches on it. We’ll check when we pull the boat this fall in Port Angeles. It’ll cost some to fix it. But, like I said, we got lucky.”

He pulls the throttle back to 1300 rpm, to Reflection’s usual 7.5 knots.

I unzip my life jacket and slip it off. I pick up Paul’s from the floor, stuff both into the locker and remember to close the door.

“Paul, I felt helpless. I’m glad you knew what to do. You didn’t panic.” My stomach slowly calms, but my limbs remain jittery, as if I’ve overdosed on caffeine. “I’m going to the stern for a few minutes.”

• Staring out over the transom, I look at green hills and waterfalls sliding down tall mountain peaks. I watch Reflection’s wake roll gently behind us. Minutes before I believed our summer was over. I thought our boat might be damaged beyond repair — that it might sink. I considered the possibility of abandoning Reflection.

But here we are, underway with the boat running smoothly. There’s no need to make a mayday call and we don’t need to return to Petersburg. The cat slept through the entire ordeal. Everything is OK. When I join Paul in the pilothouse he says, “I can’t believe we hit that rock. I saw it on the chart. I knew it was there. In our 16 years of boating, we’ve never been stuck on a rock.”

“Paul, it’s so easy to get caught up in the SEAMAGAZINE.COM OCTOBER 2018 47

The uplands are now overgrown with dense forest and undergrowth, leaving no evidence of the village.

By dinnertime it had begun to rain, and before long it was an outright downpour.

One of those rains where the raindrops are large and coming down so hard that they appear to bounce off the sea surface. It was a good reminder how hard it can rain on the central B.C. coast.

The following morning the rain had passed and after a hearty breakfast we weighed anchor and headed out to retrieve the prawn traps before navigating Chatham Channel on our way to our next destination. The traps produced three dozen spot prawns, not a large haul but more than enough to make a nice dinner that evening.

MEET JIM SHERWOOD AND HEIDI MARX Event specialist for the City of Tualatin and spokesperson for the Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers

THE WEST COAST PUMPKIN REGATTA takes place every fall at Tualatin Lake of the Commons in Tualatin, Ore. Over the last 14 years the award-winning West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta has become one of Oregon’s most anticipated fall events.

Sea: How did this race begin?

Sherwood/Marx: In 2004 the Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers were looking for a location to do an end-of-season paddle with a handful of giant pumpkins. What started out as a fun get-together for about 100 people and eight pumpkins in the water has turned into an event that features up to 20 giant pumpkins in the water and 15,000 to 20,000 spectators. Over the years the City of Tualatin has added tons of

fun fall-themed activities like pumpkin bowling, pumpkin golf, costume contests, pie-eating contests, and more.

How do you make a proper pumpkin boat?

First you determine the ‘minimum’ size needed to properly support the captain.

Usually 500 pounds is as small as you want to go. Ideally, if you can put the pumpkin in the water before you carve it, you determine which side it floats

better on. Once that is determined, cut a hole in the top of the pumpkin big enough for the captain — some of us need bigger cutouts — you clean out all the pumpkin ‘guts’ to the point that it is very streamlined and even somewhat symmetrical inside. Some people even will use sandbags as ballast to help the pumpkin float more evenly. Once that is all done, you climb in carefully, find a comfortable position from which to maneuver, and then paddle like crazy until the end!

Where do the pumpkins come from?

The pumpkins are grown by members of the Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers (PGVG) from all over Oregon, Washington and Canada.

Members of the PGVG are a group of giant vegetable enthusiasts whose purpose is to promote and encourage the hobby of gardening with a focus placed on the fun of competition and the production of obscenely large vegetables.

How heavy was the largest pumpkin boat?

Approximately 1,720 pounds.

Two people piloted that ship!

Are there any strategies to win the race?

Ideally, if you can get a smallish pumpkin that is

Jim Sherwood and Heidi Marx

smooth and long, they tend to be fast. If you have to resort to strategy, then the best bet is to stay ahead of everyone for as long as possible.

What are the rules for creating the boat and racing?

The only real rule is that the pumpkin can only be powered by human power and participants must be in the pumpkin while racing. Mainly everyone needs to have fun and hopefully get wet!

How can participants make the pumpkin water resistant?

Since pumpkins are around 95 percent water, every part of the pumpkin will float. They tend to be faster when not full of water, so trying to avoid any holes below the waterline is pretty important!

This beachside town, pronounced “AHHvih-luh,” is packed with natural wonders, hot springs, and wines and spirits.

AVILA BEACH, CALIF., IS A seaside town nestled in the shelter of San Luis Bay, which is formed by Point San Luis to the west and Fossil Point to the east. Given its south-facing orientation and the elevation of Point San Luis, which knocks down the prevailing northwesterly winds, Avila Beach’s climate is typically much warmer than the surrounding coastline.

Beautiful wide beaches are perfect for a lazy day on the beach.

Guest moorings are available in the harbor on a first-come, first-served basis, and daily mooring rental is $17, with a 14-day limit. The near-shore moorings are only available from April through October and are only for use by boats up to 35 feet, while the outer buoys are for boats to 55 feet and are open year-round, so be sure to contact Harbor Patrol on VHF Channel 12 for assistance.

Lutz: This will be the 12th Pumpkin Regatta at the Elk Grove Giant Pumpkin Festival. The Elk Grove Giant Pumpkin Festival began in 1994 as a small harvest celebration and official California weigh-off site for a national Giant Pumpkin contest.

The festival grew larger each year and so did the pumpkins! In 2006, festival organizers were looking for ways to bring more pumpkin attractions to the event.

They searched online and found a pumpkin regatta held in Nova Scotia, Canada, and decided to recreate it, since the festival takes place around a small lake.

How does one make a proper pumpkin boat?

Skippers have the opportunity to test their pumpkin in the water before they carve it.

Pumpkins are buoyant but it’s impossible to guess which part of the pumpkin will be floating above the water. So skippers mark the waterline with a permanent marker and then remove the pumpkin from the water and begin preparing the pumpkin with reciprocating saws, hand saws and shovels.

They’ll climb into the carved pumpkin while it is on land to make sure there’s enough room for their legs and torso.

Where do the pumpkins come from?

The pumpkins come from the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off held the day prior.

While the three heaviest pumpkins must remain on display throughout the weekend, the pumpkin growers who didn’t win gold, silver or bronze can decide if they’d like to enter their pumpkin in the regatta. A few returning pumpkin growers even grow pumpkins specifically for the regatta. The top three finishers win prize money and bragging rights.

How heavy was the largest pumpkin boat?

In 2017, one of the pumpkins in the competition weighed more than 1,000 pounds and held two skippers, making it the first tandem pumpkin boat to race in Elk Grove.

Any strategies to win the race?

It is important to pace yourself, because paddling the heavy vessel gets very tiring very quickly. There are no guarantees when you’re relying on a gigantic fruit to carry you across a lake — but it is always entertaining! In 2015, six skippers participated but three tipped over as the race began. In 2016 and 2017, four skippers started off the line but only three finished because one pumpkin boat capsized.

How can participants make the pumpkin water resistant?

They just carve the pumpkin, jump in and start paddling! The 1,000-pound pumpkin shells are surprisingly seaworthy, but they are very difficult to steer.

Some pumpkins veer off course and end up soaking their skippers in the lake’s fountain. Some pumpkins tip over and force their skipper to swim back with the boat in tow.

OCTOBER’S QUESTION:

What are some of the questions brokers are asked by potential buyers that make them cringe?

FIRST, THERE REALLY aren’t any seriously cringe-worthy questions. I asked a few other brokers about this, and we collectively agreed on that point. I always tell new-to-boat-buying customers to think of me as a coach. But, that said, if I had to pick some of the tougher questions I’ve received, the following would be great examples.

Here’s one most brokers aren’t going to answer directly: How does my boat (insert brand) compare to that boat (insert brand)? I was told early on not to bad mouth another manufacturer in order to boost our brand or to sway a potential customer. It’s always best just to stick to the facts. Good brokers should use data and/or experience with a manufacturer to try and answer any comparison questions.



On the resale side, this can make a broker cringe a bit: How well kept up was this boat with regard to service? Again, brokers have to keep consistent with the facts. The broker should be able to tell you if the boat in question was — or wasn’t — serviced on a consistent basis. If so, there should be a file of service records.

If not, there won’t be a record, and that’s why we recommend conducting sea trials and surveys. Plus, it’s smart to have a qualified mechanic undertake an engine survey with fluid tests on the engine oil and transmission fluids, including the generator. Such testing gives the buyer a clearer idea as to whether or not the engines and genset are in good working order, or if there’s another reason this person is selling his boat.

Here are two variations of a question a buyer shouldn’t be afraid to ask: How should I maintain my boat for better resale when the time comes? or What should I do to get my boat ready to sell? Both are important and should be addressed. Keep your boat serviced based on the manufacturer’s recommended schedules. Every manufacturer — of engines, generators, boats — covers this in its manuals. Learn these recommendations. General maintenance is very important too, including washing the outside on a regular basis (weekly or bimonthly). Have a good diver clean the bottom and check the zincs. Keep all records! Asking questions of a broker helps the entire process for both buyers and sellers.
