[ FROM THE ISSUE ]

Krazy for the Kraken Editor’s Note: Our fall fashion shoot with the Seattle Kraken players received a lot of love last month, and admittedly, our staff also enjoyed quite a few chuckles over some of the reaction and spot-on pop culture references to the @seattlekraken post on Instagram.

Below are a few highlights; we couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

Editor’s Note: This month, we are thrilled to have another history-packed story from longtime contributor Peter Marsh recounting the winter he spent as the caretaker of the Hawaiian Chieftain tall ship (see pages 56-63 for the full). Here, he shares a photo of himself aboard, rigging her against the elements, as well as an amazing 1989 snap of the construction of sister ship Lady Washington that he found in his files while researching this story.

@jasonblackball Oleksiak looking like he’s straight out of Peaky Blinders. @seaweed_riot Oleksiak just became my iPhone wallpaper!!! @thedisappoinsettia The lightship and Arthur Foss!! Way cool. @emmsadventuress Jamie serving very much young Leo on the Titanic…. @brii.hunt Can we get this in a calendar?

[ CHRISTMAS ON THE WATER ]

Do You See What Argosy?

The twinkling lights are all across Seattle, which means it’s time again for Argosy’s annual Christmas Ship™ and Parade of Boats events to brighten up the holiday season around Puget Sound. Launched in 1949, the month-long display of motorboats and sailboats lit with shimmering white lights has been a Seattle holiday staple for more than 70 years. Now, after last year’s cancellation due to Covid rules, the beloved tradition has returned.

One of the holiday highlights near and dear to all Seattle boaters, Argosy’s Annual Parade of Boats Viewing Party, is scheduled for December 10. The parade, featuring boats decked out with a dazzling light displays, can be viewed from Evanston Plaza on the Fremont Cut. Live singing at the parade will be provided by the all-women, a cappella PrimeTime Quartet.

The Argosy holiday festivities kicked off on November 26, and will continue through this month, with live performances at nearly 30 separate Seattle-area locations until the day before Christmas Eve. The two grand finale events, featuring The Dickens Carolers singing group, will leave from Lake Union Park and perform on December 23 at Ivar’s Salmon House, Seattle Yacht Club, and Gas Works Park.

All of Argosy’s holiday events can be viewed for free from various locations on shore, but seats can be reserved in advance for between $37 and $68 for either a 1.5-hour cruise on The Christmas Ship™ or a 1.75-hour trip on the Follow Boat during the parade at each scheduled location. Those following behind on their own boats or watching on the shore will also be able to hear the carolers sing via loudspeakers.

For more information about the holiday series, Covid precautions, and reserving tickets, please visit: argosycruises.com/christmas-ship-festival-schedule/.

Join the Christmas Boat Parade Gather up your crew, grab some lights, and get in on the on-the-water fun at the Seattle Christmas Boat Parade, which kicks off at 7 p.m. on December 18. This time-honored tradition welcomes decorated vessels of all sizes to light up the night as they travel along the route, which starts in front of Fremont Tugboat and ends in front of Morrison’s North Star Marine Fuel Dock on Lake Union. It’s all for a good cause as the event includes a toy drive with proceeds helping to support Seattle Children’s Hospital Research Foundation.

NEWLY ARRIVED 2022 MODEL

The newest Apollonian 52 recently arrived in Longview, WA, and after being successfully offloaded from the ship, immediately completed an ocean passage up the coast to the Straits of Juan De Fuca and into Puget Sound.

The brand-new boat was set up with a Garmin 8616 radar upon arrival, fueled, provisioned, and loaded with safety gear in Astoria, WA. The crew then crossed the notorious Columbia River bar (where the USCG conducts their lifeboat training) in heavy fog and headed to sea. They transited along a section of rugged coastline heading to the most northwestern tip of the continental USA landing in Neah Bay, WA near the mouth of the straits.

The new Apollonian 52 ran over 300 miles offshore at a moderate cruise of 10.6 knots covering just over one nautical mile per gallon. They completed the maiden voyage by running through the straits and Admiralty Inlet to Seattle, where they transited the locks and into Lake Union. Completing a passage like this on a just-launched boat is pretty amazing and demonstrates the inherent quality in every Apollonian. Designed from the keel up for serious

Everett-based OceanGate Releases Videos from 2021 Titanic Expedition, Seeks Team Members for Epic 2022 Edition Want to take a trip under the sea for a once-in-a-lifetime view of the world’s most famous maritime disaster? A Seattle area-based firm called OceanGate Expeditions is seeking adventurous souls who wish to become mission specialists for a trip in a submersible to see the final resting place of the RMS Titanic.

In October, OceanGate released footage from its first fantastic voyage this summer when they went more than 12,500 feet below the surface to examine the 1912 wreck. The six-week-long trip in the North Atlantic, called the Titanic Survey Expedition, included five crew who were either researchers or citizen scientists. The crew took high-quality photographs and videos of the Titanic wreck, including some parts that may never have been captured before.

The submersible, aptly named Titan, was built in Everett and has been used in several OceanGate expeditions to a variety of sites, such as hydrothermal

vents, unique biological ecosystems, and many other shipwrecks. Over the next few years, OceanGate hopes to create detailed 3-D images of the entire Titanic debris field and record crystal-clear 4K video of each expedition.

Eye-popping views of this year’s expedition can be seen on OceanGate’s YouTube channel.

The Titan vehicle, which took six years to develop, will be used for annual expeditions to the Titanic. Currently, OceanGate is focused on applying lessons learned from this year’s expedition to plan ahead for another in 2022.

Other expeditions in the Titan that are offered by OceanGate include the exploration of the deep-water marine life of the Hudson Canyon, off the coast of New York City, as well as trip to the “Tongue of the Ocean” off The Bahamas. For more information about taking part as a mission specialist on a dive, please visit: oceangateexpeditions.com.

Foss Maritime Closes Historic Seattle Shipyard

26

A maritime institution that had endured for more than a century, Foss Maritime has permanently closed its shipyard operations in Seattle’s North Queen Anne neighborhood.

In a brief company statement, Foss Maritime said it was announcing its decision to close the shipyard, effective October 30, “with deep regret,” citing an “evaluation of business lines” in an effort to improve the company’s viability.

The sudden closure impacts the 115 Foss shipyard workers, who will continue to be paid salary, health benefits, and an average of overtime pay through the end of the year, according to the Foss statement. The company added, however, that the closure will not affect any other Foss operations in the region and it will continue to meet fleet maintenance and repair needs at existing Pacific Northwest shipyards.

“While the closure of the Seattle shipyard is a strategic decision for the future of Foss, it is not a decision we have taken lightly,” said Will Roberts, president of Foss Maritime. “We have employees and families who have been with us for decades; our priority is assisting them in this transition.”

Founded in 1889 by Norwegian immigrants Thea and Andrew Foss, the company was once a Tacoma-based rowboat operation that later moved its shipbuilding headquarters to Seattle, becoming owner of one of the largest fleets of tugboats and barges on the West Coast. Foss Maritime, now a unit of Seattle-based maritime firm Saltchuk, provides harbor services and transportation operations in all major West Coast ports, the Columbia and Snake river systems, Hawaii, Alaska, and the Pacific Rim. For more information on the company and their plans for the future, visit: foss.com.

Siewert & Betts Plan Limited Run of Tombolo 28 Just in time for Seattle boating enthusiasts looking for the ultimate 28-foot Christmas stocking stuffer, Anacortes-based Siewert Yacht Design is offering a limited production run of its Tombolo single outboard powerboat for 2022. Betts Boats, which is also based in Anacortes, will produce the design in molded fiberglass composite.

With a hull and deck fabricated with a short run and inexpensive tooling, the versatile T-28 is lightweight, trailerable, and has a cruising speed of up to 20 knots. The standard model will be powered by a single 150-hp Yamaha engine, a top speed of about 24 knots.

The hull and superstructure will be built with an epoxy/fiberglass composite sandwiching a foam core, giving the boat exceptional strength and high fuel efficiency. With a modified low drag, variable deadrise bottom, the Tombolo’s

design has low length-to-beam and displacement-to-length ratios that results in 3 miles per gallon at cruising speed.

The T-28’s layout also provides ample indoor and outdoor spaces for a craft of its size. The forward cabin features a generous V-berth and head with a stand-up shower. The aft cockpit includes a fully equipped galley, plus an L-shaped lounge with a high/low pedestal table. Deluxe helm and companion chairs are surrounded by large safety glass side windows and windshield.

The semi-custom production of this model, Siewert says, allows Betts to speed up production time, compared to custom building.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 With a convertible cockpit that invites lounging and innovative scow-bow hull that allows for more upright sailing with less pitching, the new 440 from Marine Servicenter offers a harmonious design for enjoying life onboard.

PHOTO BY TOR JOHNSON 36

Here’s a great way to kick off the new year. Arriving in January to Marine Servicenter in Seattle, this gorgeous, roomy Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 sailboat will provide plenty of open space for family and friends aboard, as well as comfortable interiors for extended cruises.

The Phillippe Briand and Jean-Marc Piaton design for the Sun Odyssey includes the same renowned walk-around decks from the initial model in 2016, but this latest version also includes a convertible aft cockpit that can be folded out on the starboard side. The added space in the 440 creates a king-sized lounge with a filler insert and cushion to be placed against the cockpit table, providing increased lounge space for guests.

The cockpit goes full width, with dual helms placed all the way outboard.

The walk-around layout also allows the winches to be placed inboard for easy single-hand sailing.

Inside, the open salon features Alpi grey cedar interior woodwork, fully upholstered hull sides and ceiling, and light or dark oak laminate floorboards.

There is comfortable seating to starboard, with a large table and telescoping legs to convert the salon into a berth.

The central, U-shaped galley is situated on the port side, featuring Corian countertops, double stainless-steel sinks with chrome fixtures, a two-burner stove, a 34-gallon-capacity refrigerator, and a ventilation hatch above the stove. An optional push-up microwave can also be added along with a top load freezer. Adjacent to the galley is a large chart table with a leatherette worktop, plus either a workshop or a third cabin located on the port side aft.

The 440 can be customized with four different cabin configurations, with two to four cabins and one to two heads. The forward owner’s cabin has room for a double rectangular true queen berth, side leatherette bed tables and storage lockers, and two opening deck hatches. The forward head has an en suite compartment with direct access from the cabin and a shower separated with a plexiglass door. All versions of the aft cabins include a long, fixed hull port, a fixed cockpit window, an opening port on the coachroof, and opening ports towards the cockpit and side decks.

The Sun Odyssey 440’s full-length, hard-chine “scow-bow” hull with twin rudders enables more upright sailing, giving the boat a more comfortable ride, skipping through waves and swells much like a planing powerboat. The standard mainsail and headsail measure Specs & Info 972 square feet. For powered propulsion, the 440 can be equipped with either a 45hp or 57hp Yanmar engine with a shaft drive.

1993 Navigator 50 Pilothouse Classic Offered by Waterline Boats, this 50 Pilothouse Classic features a multi-level layout that makes wonderful use of its well maintained space.

It may be nearly 30 years old, but this Navigator 50 Pilothouse Classic is still bursting with life, featuring an unusual, multi-level layout that makes ingenious use of every inch of space.

Access to the boat can be made through the transom door from the molded swim platform. The outdoor aft cockpit leads to the salon, which contains a full-size couch and two chairs. A flat-screen TV, equipped with a Bose sound system, can be lowered into a custom cabinet to provide more space for entertaining.

From the salon, a small stairway connects to the pilothouse, galley, and dinette space, with an L-shaped settee and two individual stools.

The galley has a refrigerator, sink, and three-burner electric stove, and side doors provide access from the pilothouse to the foredeck.

Starboard of the galley is the lower helm, which features a Raytheon RLC Pathfinder radar, a Raytheon Tridata depth speed display, and a Raymarine C760 depth sounder, an Autohelm autopilot, and Standard Horizon VHF. A stairway in the aft upper deck leads to the flybridge, which has upper and lower seating areas, as well as space for deck chairs and a cushioned aft bench seat. The flybridge also has a helm chair and two companion seats.

38

The berths are found in two staterooms, each with its own head and shower, that are separated from each other to provide a high degree of privacy not often seen in boats of this size. A starboard stairway leads to the master stateroom, with a king-size berth and ample storage.

The master head with a separate shower is located forward on the port side. Another stairway leads from the pilothouse to the guest stateroom, which has a centerline queen berth and seating on the port side.

The forward head/shower can be accessed via the hallway or another private door from the guest stateroom.

An aft deck hatch gives access to the engine room, housing twin diesel 380hp Volvo Penta TAMD 71B turbo-charged engines. The six-cylinder engines cruise at 10 knots, with a flat-out speed of about 14 knots.

Though built in 1993, there have been some recent improvements.

At the stern, a dinghy cradle has been added to the aft end of the flybridge, saving deck space. The 2001 Caribe RIB dinghy, powered by a 30hp Yanmar outboard, can be lowered with a Nick Jackson electric lift arm davit rated at 1,000 pounds. Both heads were rebuilt and all black-water hoses from the heads to the holding tank were replaced in 2020.

The current owner has also updated the pilothouse and salon with new carpets and flooring.

HAIL TO THE CHIEFTAIN Longtime Northwest Yachting contributor PETER MARSH recounts the fascinating history of the tall ship Hawaiian Chieftain as she finds a new lease on life, and he fondly remembers this past winter as her caretaker in Astoria, Oregon.

Sister ship Lady Washington’s iconic figurehead.

PHOTO BY RICK HORN

The Hawaiian Chieftain, a classic sailing ship with a bright yellow hull and traditional square rig, has been a popular sight on the waters in the Pacific Northwest for almost 30 years. But wherever it went, this unique steel vessel was often overshadowed by its wooden partner Lady Washington—the state of Washington’s official tall ship.

The launch of Lady Washington on March 7, 1989, as the flagship of the Washington State Centennial celebration was probably the biggest I’ve ever covered in the 34 years I’ve written for this fine publication, but it was just the beginning for Lady Washington, which has appeared in several hit movies including Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Star Trek: Generations. However, it was the “double act” with Hawaiian Chieftain that became famous on the West Coast from Vancouver, British Columbia to San Diego, California. Whether watching from the shore, boarding at the dockside, or as a paying passenger, who could resist these two replicas of historic vessels participating in a staged cannon battle under full sail?

I photographed one of these engagements myself from the helm of my 21’ wooden trimaran a few years back, and I remember being caught up in the event while trying to steer, trim the sails, and get some good shots all at once. The next day, the eye-catching pair were off on their travels again, and I could never have imagined that in the fall of 2020, I would be given the responsibility of

safeguarding one of these magnificent ships through the winter. How the Hawaiian Chieftain and I became entangled is now part of these tall ships’ tale.

[Built on History] I began digging a little deeper into their fascinating history, and it was only then that I realized that both tall ships were under construction in 1988 and both boasted naval architects named Ray. Owned by Grays Harbor Historical Seaport (GHHS) (historicalseaport.org), Lady Washington was designed by Raymond E. Wallace, a well-known marine historian and artist, naval architect, and prominent yachtsman. The Hawaiian Chieftain was built in Lahaina, Hawaii, on the island of Maui and designed by Seattle naval architect Ray Richards, who is best known regionally for designing two iconic Northwest craft; the Ranger 24 and Haida 26.

A couple of the men who helped build the Chieftain visited me during my tenure with the boat last year and reminisced over the casual atmosphere at the shipyard. There were occasional changes to Richards’ interior layout to suit the climate and

“Once I was satisfied everything was still shipshape, I would climb the steps to the poop deck like Captain Bligh and survey my handiwork as the ship pitched and rolled in the easterly swell.” - PETER MARSH the intended use, they recalled, then the Chieftain slipped into the water without fanfare. The hull was 65’ long, and when it was fully rigged as an early 19th-century topsail ketch with an authentic long bowsprit, it grew to over 100’ overall—10’ less than Lady Washington’s impressive sparred length of 112’ on a 67’ hull. Richards’ design was based on a flat-bottomed shallow draft hull, with a long keel and bilge fins to keep the draft down to 5’5”. It was powered by twin diesel engines to give it better maneuverability in small harbors.

The maiden voyage was to Tahiti in 1990, then the crew sailed to San Francisco under a new owner who eventually based the boat in Sausalito, California. In 1993, the two aforementioned ships first arranged to meet in a mock sea battle in San Francisco Bay, which began their long association.

The Hawaiian Chieftain passed through the hands of several owners until 1998, when GHHS decided to purchase it and make the vessel the official sailing partner to Lady Washington.

[Sisters at Sea] From there, the two tall ships established a successful “trade route” of cruising the Northwest shores in the summer and Southern California in the winter.

This program provided hands-on history of the fur trade for school children on weekdays and took the public sailing on weekends when a battle under sail was recreated by firing black powder charges from

60

ships’ small cannons. There was a brief hiatus from 2004-2005, as GHHS accepted an offer for Hawaiian Chieftain from a New England enthusiast.

Unfortunately, the new owner died soon after, and GHHS then bought the ship back. The ships resumed their partnership, reaching thousands more children and carrying many families on exciting sails. (The Hawaiian Chieftain and Lady Washington were also featured together in a September 2019 NWY article outlining the state’s tall ships).

All seemed well, until the annual haul out of Lady Washington in the winter of 2018-19 for maintenance and U.S. Coast Guard inspection.

Some serious issues with rot were discovered, and the entire transom and many planks had to be replaced. In the summer of 2019, Coast Guard inspectors discovered serious rust problems with the Chieftain, particularly in the hull below the waterline and bowsprit. It was forbidden from carrying passengers until these issues were completely resolved. Thus, the organization had to make some difficult decisions on the future of both ships and announced their plan in December 2019: “We came to the difficult decision that it was time for Hawaiian Chieftain’s role within Grays Harbor Historical Seaport to come to an end,” stated Brandi Bednarik, executive director.

RESTORATION PROJECT Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-Op has its own fascinating story, which also began in the 1980s. In 1981, a group of shipwrights in Port Townsend banded together to purchase a ship saw—a large and very heavy bandsaw. They built a shop over it and created a viable space to work on all types of boats. Forty years later, Port Townsend Shipwrights has expanded to 62

four buildings where the historical trade of working on boats is alive and well.

The co-op now employs over 50 craftspeople with a wide range of skills and a team of certified shipwrights who handle practically any task on any type of boat, from big fishing vessels to classic wooden motor yachts. Many of them are graduates of the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Hadlock, a few

miles away, so they can re-plank, re-caulk, and re-rig heavy wooden hulls like Lady Washington. They are equally skilled in working with all types of metals and welding methods, which will be necessary when repairing the heavily rusted hull of the Chieftain to a level that can pass United States Coast Guard regulations.

According to Day, the hull repairs will start with “minor crop and replacement of

expensive repairs in partnership with the Tongue Point Job Corps. Unfortunately, the estimated cost of the steel repairs alone came to $350,000—well beyond the ship’s current value—and it also needed new engines plus an overhaul of all its mechanical and electrical systems, bringing the total cost to a minimum of $600,000. In the fall of 2020, the ship was towed around Tongue Point and moored behind Astoria’s Pier 39, which was established in 1875 and is the site of the oldest remaining fish cannery in the region.

[With Great Care] This is where I enter into the tale because I happen to be the volunteer director of the Hanthorn Cannery Museum (canneryworker.org), located inside one of the pier’s many freezer rooms. Being the most experienced sailor available, I found myself speedily “promoted” to the rank of ship’s caretaker for the winter.

I was well aware of the conditions the winter would deliver to the lower Columbia, and by December, cold east winds were starting to blow down the river from the Gorge. I looked all over the ship searching for some spare mooring rope until I had several lengths that enabled me to double and then triple the bow and stern lines. After every blow, I would climb on board via a narrow plank and check for wear and tear on the canvas I had wrapped around the warps where they ran through the ship’s rusty hawse holes. (I actually considered spending a night on board in the main cabin but decided I might be spoiled by all the space compared to the tunnel-like berth on my own small boat.)

Storm after storm, once I was satisfied everything was still shipshape, I would climb the steps to the poop deck like Captain Bligh and survey my handiwork as the ship pitched and rolled in the easterly swell. Happily, the lines held and the ship began to attract more and more public interest as the weather improved in the spring.

hull plating, center keel, and some deck structure, plus a lot of little repairs to bilge areas and tanks—but nothing too dramatic!” On deck, they will build a new steel main mast and the windlass, and fit new standing rigging, new chainplates, and new bowsprit.

It is in the propulsion and electrical system that the Chieftain will depart entirely from tradition with a state-of-

Technically, the Chieftain was for sale the entire time it was at the pier, but it was still a surprise in the middle of last summer to hear that someone in Hawaii was seriously interested in becoming the next owner. Aubrey Wilson, who has crewed as a deckhand on three traditionally rigged tall ships—198’ Niagara (Lake Erie), 156’ Tole Mour (Catalina Island), and 137’ Roseway (Boston), was intent on buying the boat, with the support of her husband Matt, and restoring it as an educational resource.

“We desperately wanted to come to Astoria to inspect the ship in person, but we didn’t feel it was safe to fly with our baby during the peak of the pandemic,” Wilson said. However, she did call me to say hello, thanked me for my efforts, and I soon found myself welcoming her mother on board, followed by her surveyor Captain Dennis Crowley from Aberdeen, and work crews from GHHS, escorting them all across the flimsy gangplank.

Finally, Arren Day, one of the twelve partners of the Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-Op (PTSC) (ptshipwrights.com) that has worked on the two tall ships for many years, gave the boat a thorough exam. They were certainly the most qualified yard to perform the necessary restoration work; once they won the bid, I knew the ship’s days in Astoria were numbered. The final visitors were the crew of the 75’ tug Triumph, owned by Western Towboat, a family-run company based on Seattle’s Ship Canal. This crew wasted no time in rigging up the tow, and then Hawaiian Chieftain quickly disappeared downriver from our view. I decided to get one more view and jumped in my van and drove through downtown to the Astoria-Megler bridge, where I watched this 18th century design traveling faster than it ever had, with a strong pull from the tug and a full spring tide bringing her to Port Townsend. When the restoration work is complete (see sidebar below for more details), and after sea trials, the new Hawaiian Chieftain will sail back to the Islands where she first took shape and start the next chapter in her story. >> For the latest on the repair work and future plans for Hawaiian Chieftain, visit: sailhawaiianchieftain.com.

the-art, hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system and a big lithium-ion battery bank.

The foundation of this will be a modern “clean diesel” generator, which will power two electric motors on the twin propeller shafts. This is expected to give a threehour motoring capacity on fully charged batteries before the generator must be started. The ship will need to be extensively rewired with LED lighting and the crew

will have the advantage of modern digital instruments and satellite navigation equipment—unless they want to practice their sextant skills! The exterior will be sandblasted and painted in a new color scheme that chosen by a contest on the ship’s new website.

The latest schedule estimates the work will take 18 months and the ship will be relaunched in spring 2023.

BY MARK YUASA

Squid Game Embrace the darkness: MARK YUASA has all the details on jigging up some winter squid from the Sound.

How can it be December already? While holiday shopping and gatherings are high on the priority list for some, many others are happily doing the “jig” instead. This lively dance is happening right now on boats and off piers throughout Puget Sound as anglers try their luck at jigging up squid.

The thought of bringing home this highly sought-after delicacy—think deep-fried calamari with a gob of creamy tartar or aioli sauce—will have you jigging for more.

“The last several years were pretty good for squid, and this season has gotten off to a somewhat rocky start, although we’ve started to see them in larger schools,” said Paul Kim, owner of Seattle Squid charter service in Seattle. It has been a longstanding tradition to catch them off piers, but the new rage is jigging on a boat, adds Kim. He points out this isn’t a highly technical fishery and can provide a fun time for anglers of all skill levels.

I had a chance to jump aboard Kim’s 21-foot Grady White boat twice last month, and chasing squid in total darkness is unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced as a lifelong Pacific Northwest angler. Large powerful 1,100-watt LED commercial lights, powered by a generator, were hung off the boat’s bow and port and starboard just above the water’s surface.

These were combined with a pair of 108,000 lumen UV spectrum lights dropped into the water off the boat’s stern, plus the underwater transom is mounted with fixed 20,000 lumen LED lighting. Thus, the water within a 25-foot radius was lit up like North Seattle’s Candy Cane Lane during the holidays.

The powerful lights are used to attract squid to the boat, and an anchor was lowered off the bow to keep us right on top of the squid. Squid are found just below the water’s surface down to the bottom at depths of 25 to 130 feet (deeper areas require a heavier lead weight), so our fishing gear consisted of a sensitive 9-foot trout rod and spinning reel with 10-pound braided or 12-pound Izorline Hi Vis monofilament line. This enables you to feel the subtle tap or vibration of an attacking squid. Each rod was equipped with either one or two or three weighted luminous glow-in-thedark plastic pink, red, orange, bright blue, or chartreuse jigs. The jigs don’t have hooks and instead have slanting sharp prongs that squid wrap their 64

tentacles onto. Keeping a steady upward pressure (don’t reel fast), and being sure to give no slack on the line are key, otherwise those slippery squid will simply let go.

The best period is night time, although they’ll often stay on the bite into the early morning. When plentiful, you can even catch them on a mid-day tide change.

Unlike the tentacled sea monster in Jules Verne’s classic science-fiction novel 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, the Puget Sound squid known as Pacific squid or market squid, measure a mere 4 to 12 inches with a short life cycle of about 18 months. Puget Sound is one of top marine areas where squid migrate each winter to lay eggs along the gentle sloping sandy bottom near kelp and rocky areas with good natural or artificial light. They tend to hide in the dark, shadowy edges of lighted water, and then dart out into the light and onto their unsuspecting prey. This is why places in Elliott Bay, where light bounces off the waterfront, around the Big Wheel, Piers 69 and 70, Colman Ferry Landing, and Seattle Aquarium, or the Seacrest Pier, and Todd’s Shipyard in West Seattle, are traditionally the “go to” locations.

The primetime for squid jigging usually occurs from September through February. Not much is known about their exact migration timing. Some years, they’ll appear as early as end of summer or other times, they will be late to the show, which will probably be the case this winter.

Learning how to fish from a boat isn’t too complicated, but if you’re unsure I’d recommend going with a fishing guide like Kim to learn the ropes. To book a trip ($130 per person) visit: seattlesquid.com.

The WDFW website also has a wealth of information on catching squid at wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/basics/squid.

Mark Yuasa is a longtime fishing and outdoor writer. Born and raised in Seattle, and a UW alum, Mark joined the Northwest Marine Trade Association in 2017 as the Director of Grow Boating Programs after 33 years at The Seattle Times. He also volunteers with the BSA Chief Seattle Council and National Order of the Arrow organizations, and enjoys fishing for salmon and other fish species in local waterways.

O N WATCH

BY PETER SCHRAPPEN

That’s Enough When it comes to pushing pro-boating measures through local legislation, PETER SCHRAPPEN asks: When is good enough actually good enough?

There’s a book out there called The Good Enough Catholic by Paul Wilkes.

Don’t report me to my parish priest, but I have not read it yet. That said, the title gets me thinking from time to time. When is good enough, well, good enough?

Let’s take a look at the Maritime Economic Opportunity Act that passed in 2021 as a “good enough” moment. This new law started as an idea in the Port of Port Angeles board room in June of 2020. The uncontroversial problem statement was simple enough: Chartered vessels from out of state are not allowed to enjoy our state’s boating bounty because of an egregious tax placed on them if the boat, crew, and captain are all part of the charter package.

The rub comes when economic activity for state’s $7 billion boating ecosystem is lost because of this tax. This leakage hits rural communities, like the Ports of Port Angeles and Anacortes especially hard, given that maritime is a major part of their area’s economy.

From this sitting-around-the-board room exercise to a tour of the Port of Port Angeles with their state Senate and state House of Representatives’ delegation (Sen. Van De Wege and Reps. Tharinger and Chapman) that soon followed, the idea resonated around a collective “We need to do something about this problem.” Add a well-respected lobbyist representing the Port and an energized superyacht business community (also known as Superyacht Northwest), plus a coalition of business and maritime trade associations, and we had the makings of a campaign for the 2021 legislative session.

Was it the perfect idea? Did it solve the equivalent of world hunger for boaters? Did we expect to get this bill passed in a virtual Zoom legislative session? Safe to say that the answer was “no” from the coalition working on behalf of this maritime economic opportunity act.

I had the advantage of sitting in the cockpit as this bill moved through the legislative process. What struck me throughout the legislative process was 66

that we never looked back. We were who we were and kept plotting forward.

The assembled team met with the right lawmakers at the right time with the right information. We added some of that NASA-style planning (that is starting with the end goal of say, landing on the moon) and planning backwards (in this case, having the bill signed by Governor Inslee).

Momentum grew over time. Other critical parts came into play like bipartisan support and the nods of key lawmakers such as the chairs of the various committees. Fortunately, the team had established relationships with many decision makers and there was no formal opposition. With 1,077 bills introduced in 2021, House Bill 1107 became law on July 25, 2021, with a final vote count of 146-1, which includes the tally from the House of Representatives and Senate.

If that success was not enough, the law is attracting the attention of boats and trade associations around the world. Most notably, Monique Webber of Pacific Yacht Management and Superyacht Northwest and I had the high honor to accept the U.S. Superyacht Association’s “Chairman’s Award” at their sold-out annual meeting on October 30 in Fort Lauderdale.

Stepping back, our team mounted the best campaign possible. Taking into account lawmakers’ appetite for a perceived tax break for superyachts, we met the challenge head on with the best viable idea we could muster.

In Japanese, the expression is Ichigo ichie, roughly translates to “This moment in time has never occurred before and it will never come again.” The question to ask is if the moment is not perfect, is at least good enough? In my view, sometimes good enough is perfect, after all.

Peter Schrappen is Northwest Marine Trade Association’s Government Affairs Director and the Clean Boating Foundation’s Executive Director.

Additionally, he serves on the boards of the Boating Safety Advisory Council, Washington Boating Alliance, and U.S. Superyacht Association.

AS K N IGE L

BY NIGEL BARRON

Bottom of the Question When is it time? What’s the best? Ablative or hard? NIGEL BARRON answers all your queries about bottom paint.

One of the more common questions I get from friends and customers is: What is the best bottom paint for my boat and how do I know if it’s time for paint? Like everything on boats, there is no one answer. It really depends on what you’re going to do with your boat, where you keep it, and how often you use it or have a diver clean it.

Let’s start with the basics. There are really two categories of paint— ablative and hard. Within those categories, there are a multitude of options at a wide variety of price points. An ablative paint is the type that sluffs off with use as the boat moves through the water. A hard paint requires some more maintenance in the sense of cleaning. One important piece of information related to these types of paint: you can put ablative over hard, but not hard over ablative. As the paint is intended to sluff off, if you put the hard over it’s just going to fall off.

So how do you know if it’s time? For the most part, boats are seeming to get two to three years in saltwater out of the bottom paint and five to seven years in freshwater. There are a couple of easy ways to tell if you need paint. If you have a hard paint and have a diver clean the bottom, they’re usually pretty good about telling you the condition of the paint.

For Zvi, Ben Bottoms wipes the bottom before every race. I know it’s time to get bottom paint when I hear that it’s taking longer to get the bottom clean. With an ablative paint, lots of people will use two different colored paints so you have a guide coat to see when the paint is getting thin.

Growth on the waterline is a pretty good sign too.

Among the ablative paints, Seahawks Cukote and Interlux Micron CSC are some of the more common and are priced quite similarly. Both afford multi-season protection, and both are self-polishing when the boat is underway. Hard paints, or modified epoxy paints offer the same sorts of protections against marine growth that the ablative paints do, but require a bit more maintenance in the water. Because they aren’t self-polishing, you’ll need a diver to clean the bottom.

68

For either type of paint, the difference in cost per gallon really comes down to the amount of copper. When you think about it, that’s the commodity driving the price. We’re fortunate in our waters to not really be a high growth area because the water just doesn’t get that warm. Trinidad, as you would expect with a place so close to the equator, requires a high copper paint for high fouling areas. For the most part, at 65% copper, it’s really overkill for our area. Because our waters will vary from marina to marina, ask people what they are using and if they’re happy with it.

Ask the boatyard where you take your boat what paints they recommend.

If you race your boat, chances are you have a hard paint. Hard paints such as Baltoplate can be burnished to 1000 grit to give a nice smooth finish. For the best finish for a race boat you would really want to spray the paint as you get a bit more material on the boat and end up with a smoother finish before you start to burnish it. Baltoplate is not the best anti-fouling paint by any stretch, but racers have a higher tolerance for paying divers, so things stay pretty clean.

Another important piece to consider when thinking about paint is the running gear. Be it a sailboat or a powerboat, there is metal underwater that needs coatings and to be protected. Here at CSR, we have moved away from using the spray cans of “barnacle blockers” in lieu of PropSpeed. While the PropSpeed is more expensive, we have found that unlike the spray cans, it will last until the next haulout.

Nigel Barron was born in England and developed his sea legs at an early age. He is currently the project manager at CSR Marine in Seattle, where he has worked for 15 years, first as a rigger, then an installer, and now in his current role. He is also the captain of Zvi, a Reichel-Pugh designed and McConaghy-built custom race boat from Seattle.

Season Finales

From CYC’s Puget Sound Sailing Championship to the SYC Grand Prix, DOUG HANSEN recounts the fall’s final few regattas in all their gusty glory.

The leaves have fallen and the mountains are turning white, and while most people put away the family boats, those of us who are fool hardy enough to call ourselves sailboat racers gear up for the year’s final series of regattas. Spread out over several weekends in October, it certainly seems like the local yacht clubs pulled out all the stops to host the season finales.

Fully crewed keelboats converged first at Corinthian Yacht Club on October 9th-10 to take part in the big boat weekend of the Puget Sound Sailing Championship. Following the small boat division from the previous weekend, this weekend of PSSC is the culminating regatta series of the CYC racing season. The event was staged to be the first weekend event since the renovation of the floating CYC clubhouse earlier this year, so it was certainly a focal point on the club’s calendar.

Saturday kicked off with a shifty and breezy south easterly that began to build off the start line. The first fleets underway were sent out on longer courses, with the ORC fleet headed to Elliott Bay and the forty-footers in PHRF 0 headed towards Blakely Rocks. The remaining fleets stayed plenty busy within Shilshole Bay, and with the building breeze toughing into the 20s, things got sporty and became a true test of the crews’ preparations and teamwork.

Sunday morning brought a light easterly wind came over the racing area. Normally a death sentence for racing, the building easterly seemed to somewhat stabilize. Race Officer Charley Rathkopf made the call to get underway that knocked off a very exciting and challenging race in an alien environment for anyone who has spent time in Shilshole Bay. The wind did not hold all day, but later on, a gently northerly began to fill in instead and the fleets were able to bang off one more race. The wind just barely held on long enough to let the last boats slowly glide across the finish line with crews hiking to leeward and praying for the smallest zephyr to get them across the finish line.

70

Following close on the heels of PSSC, the Seattle Yacht Club Grand Prix is certainly held high in the racing community as one of the pinnacle events in the fall racing calendar. The three-day regatta runs boats throughout the central Sound on a mixed racecourse utilizing temporary and fixed permanent marks. Being the only short course racing event SYC hosts, it holds a level of clout that attracts a very high level of competition.

Friday’s racing kicked off with steady southerly winds with a hint of east making for shifting puffs and lulls to contend with. All fleets got off three races and the mix of short and long sailing legs plus multiple laps made for challenging conditions and extremely close racing across the board.

Saturday brought a bit more breeze and touches of rain as various squalls moved through the area. The race committee opted to send the fleet on longer courses with some mixed reaching legs and wing marks to mix things up a bit and made a new challenge with minimal passing lanes for significant portions of the races. All in all, it was a tremendous day on the water with good winds and shifting conditions making for challenging tactical calls.

Sunday came along with an ominous weather forecast, calling for winds in the forty-knot range as the day went on, but in the morning a light southerly was blowing across the racing area. Race officer Jarred Hickman made the call to send the fleets on a race, with most of the boats staying inside Shilshole Bay for a quick one lap course, while the big boats in the ORC fleet were sent to longer marks. Everything went according to plan, and with one race in the book, the call was made to send boats in.

With last year’s events cancelled, it was an absolute treat to get out on the water in the windy conditions that fall sailing provides. With just a couple more events on the 2021 calendar, I think our sailing community can look back on this year as an absolute triumph of problem solving and drive to keep our sport alive.

Italian Holiday

Plan your escape to Portofino, a beautiful Italian coastal town with top-tier dining, family vineyards, and a tranquil crescent harbor.

Though a small fishing village, Portofino is perhaps one of the most iconic ports located along the Italian Riviera coastline. Known for its picturesque harbor and the beautiful colorfully painted houses that line the rocky shore, this classic European destination is one for your bucket list, especially when visited from aboard your own chartered yacht.

The town itself sits in a half-moon shape surrounding the beautiful and calm harbor. In the summer months, glimmering yachts fill the harbor and create a buzz of excitement as visitors hop ashore to visit the many luxury stores including Gucci, Hermès, and Louis Vuitton or to dine at one of the many delicious seafood restaurants. Be sure to indulge in a delectable dinner at Ristorante Puny, a family-run restaurant that offers breathtaking views of the harbor, amazing service, and incredible fare freshly caught from the sea. After dinner, you can go right down the street to Gepi Portofino for what the locals claim to be the best gelato in town.

Next up, take a trip to the Buranco Winery and Vineyard for a relaxing day sipping wine in the serene sunshine. This hidden gem is worth the trip as you walk up a narrow side street to the family-run vineyard. Once you arrive, you can enjoy carefully curated tastings with a gorgeous view of the vineyard and the charming village below. The staff is knowledgeable and very welcoming. Enjoy the peace and quiet before heading back to the city lights.

After a relaxing day of wine tasting, make your way back to Portofino and get ready for another day full of adventures. As cuisine is very important in Italy, arrange for a local cooking class with wine pairings to learn more about the local culture. A cooking class that utilizes the local

bounty of Portofino and the surrounding region offers the ultimate hands-on instruction in classical Italian cooking.

All of Europe is known for its magnificent history, and Portofino is no exception. If you are interested in history, there are a few must-see spots such as the Chiesa di San Martino, a church that was built in the 11th century in Lombard Romanesque style. The Brown Castle, also known as the Fortress of Manarola, was built in the 12th century to defend the village from the raids of Saracen pirates and is not to be missed.

Last, but certainly not least, is the Faro di Punta del Capo, which is a building resting on a rocky cliff with a view that will leave you speechless.

Back on board, the crystal clear waters of Portofino are perfect for swimming, diving, and of course, cruising. Spend an afternoon lounging at Camogli Beach, enjoying the unique architecture of the pastel-hued buildings in the background. Even relaxing on deck with a glass of wine while watching the massive yachts pull in and out of the harbor is a little piece of heaven. But no matter what activity you’re interested in, you’re sure to have an incredible time in perfetto Portofino.
