[ PITCHING IN FOR THE PLANET ]

Surfers Help Clean the Waves They Ride Surfing fanatics are known for their laser-focused ambition to ride the next wave, and now in turn, an ambitious new program is helping them to keep those waves free of plastic waste and other pollutants—and empowering surfers to be their own environmentalists.

In a partnership between Hawaii-based Kona Brewing Co. and a California nonprofit group called the Save The Waves Coalition, the “Catch a Clean Wave” program kicked off in July, featuring a 10-day, 1,200-mile traveling tour of the West Coast’s top 15 surfing spots to promote beach clean-up efforts.

Beginning here in Washington on July 13 at a La Push beach, the tour continued south, ending in San Diego on July 22, picking up buckets full of discarded waste.

Headlining the tour was professional surfer Anna Gudauskas (née Ehrgott) and noted surfing photographer Sarah Lee. At each stop, Gudauskas would surf the waves and afterwards they would take part in local community beach clean-ups.

Kona Brewing also cited a report by the Natural Resources Defense Council, which estimated that 80% of marine litter comes from land-based pollution, such plastic shopping bags and water bottles,

aluminum soda cans, glass bottles, drinking straws, and cigarette butts. To help raise awareness of this problem and mitigate the effects, Kona Brewing donated $50,000 to the Save The Waves Coalition.

To continue the environmental efforts beyond the tour, the nonprofit also launched a Save The Waves app (savethewaves.org/app) in June, which relies on the power of crowdsourcing from surfers and other beachgoers. App users are encouraged to report locations of coastal debris, take photos of it, and tag the location using GPS, so it can be tracked and disposed of properly.

“It’s a fun way to spotlight the popularity of surfing across the globe, as well as highlight the important need to keep our oceans clean,” said Vanessa Parker, brand manager for Kona Brewing. “We hope everyone, regardless of where they live, will be reminded that we need to be active participants in ocean conservation, and what better place to start than in your own backyard.”

[ SCHOOL’S IN SESSION ]

All-New Maritime High School Opens this Month A year after COVID-19 turned the Seattle-area’s school systems upside down, Highline Public Schools is making another, much more positive change this month with the debut of Maritime High School, which focuses on educating students interested in the region’s bustling maritime industry.

For now, the new high school will be based at an interim site in Des Moines until a permanent site is determined, but the inaugural class of 9th graders is set to begin here in September. The district said this summer that it planned to enroll up to 44 students this year through an admissions lottery. “In a region that is a hub for the maritime industry, it is so important that we give students an opportunity to prepare for the good jobs and meaningful careers this field has to offer,” said Highline Superintendent Susan Enfield.

Classes at the school will focus on a range of skills needed to succeed in the maritime industry, such as familiarity with boat navigation, ship design, world trade, commercial fishing, and ocean sciences. Students in 11th and 12th grades will have access to internships that can provide hands-on experience and good workforce skills. The school will also prepare students for continuing their maritime education at two- and four-year colleges.

The Port Townsend-based Northwest Maritime Center—which is partnering on the Maritime High School project, along with the Port of Seattle

and the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition—also offers a two-week program for 7th-graders that teaches water and seamanship skills and half-day maritime programs for juniors and seniors to earn additional credits, plus other customized programs for school groups across the region.

“It’s hands-on, real-world education tied to maritime employment and the marine environment,” explains Jake Beattie, executive director of the Northwest Maritime Center. “This is powerful learning—learning that ignites curiosity in students.”

According to a 2020 report published by the Port of Seattle and other school supporters, the Washington’s maritime industry is growing at about 6.4% a year but has an average workforce age of 54. Projects like the Maritime High School, the study found, could help create a career pipeline for a successful industry facing a potential wave of retirements in the near future.

Eighth-grade students interested in attending in the 2022-23 school year will have an opportunity to apply in January. (Fifty-one percent of seats are reserved for students who live within the boundaries of Highline Public Schools; the rest are available to out-of-district students.) For more information on enrollment and the program, visit: maritime.highlineschools.org.

[ RACE FOR A CAUSE ]

Second Annual Adventuress Cup to be Held September 18th On Saturday, September 18, local nonprofit Sound Experience invites racers to raise the sails and some funds, during its second annual Adventuress Cup – A Race for the Salish Sea. The event for sailboats and powerboats will be held in the waters of Shilshole Bay and will kick off with a festive boat parade.

The race itself aims to raise critical funds for Sound Experience, which owns and operates the iconic tall ship Adventuress. Monies raised will help support youth education aboard the Adventuress, including the popular Girls at the Helm program as well as two new initiatives: Everett at Sea and Duwamish at Sea. These recently launched programs, in partnership with local organizations, introduce underserved teens to the marine environment. Sound Experience programs teach seamanship, environmental awareness and stewardship, and give young people on-the-water opportunities that help them grow and thrive.

“At Sound Experience, we believe that we are all shipmates,” shares Catherine Collins, Executive Director. “The one thing we hear most from kids at the end of a program is, ‘I would never have been friends with [her/him/them] if we hadn’t sailed together.’”

Race participants for the Cup can join the fun on the water or virtually, and crew members are encouraged to participate in peer-to-peer fundraising and environmental/education pre-race challenges to improve their boat’s handicap (or score). All activities will follow safety guidelines and procedures and a COVID responsible, post race awards party will be held at Corinthian Yacht Club on race day.

[ NEWS FROM THE MARINA ]

Elliott Bay Marina Purchased by Florida Group

A Florida-based operator of marine properties has purchased Seattle’s Elliott Bay Marina for a reported price of $80.5 million. As of July 16, Southern Marinas Holdings II, LLC, began operations as the new owners of one of the largest private marinas on the West Coast.

Located at the edge of Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood, Elliott Bay Marina has more than 1,200 water slips for vessels up to 300 feet in length and 10 miles of moorage. The full-service marina also includes repair facilities, a fuel dock, a convenience store, a Freedom Boat Club, and several retail vendors. It is also home to two popular Landry’s restaurants: Palisade and Maggie Bluffs.

In a letter to Elliott Bay’s current members, marina principal John Kaiser thanked them for their loyal support of the “one of a kind” marina community for the past 30 years. “My partners and I have been most fortunate to see our vision for Elliott Bay Marina come to fruition,” he said. “But the timing is right for our ownership group to transition the marina to a team whose principal focus is both marina and resort operations. We have found such a group in Southern Marinas.”

Gary Rosmarin, principal of Southern Marinas, assured marina patrons that they “will continue to see the same familiar, friendly faces you have come to know over the years.”

Marine Servicenter Wins Third-Straight Jeanneau Dealer of the Year Award For the third straight year, Seattle’s Marine Servicenter has been named the North American Jeanneau Sailboat Dealer of the Year. This was also the fourth time Marine Servicenter has earned this title in the past six years.

The 2021 award was presented on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay during the first in-person Jeanneau Dealer Meeting in more than two years.

The Dealer of the Year award is presented to one of 22 Jeanneau dealerships in North America, based on customer satisfaction, after-sales service, annual sales volume, and top-notch owners’ events and support.

Dan Krier, vice president of Marine Servicenter, thanked the entire staff and the company’s vendors in the Pacific Northwest for their support. “And to all of our Jeanneau owners, thank you for buying boats with us and putting your trust in us,” he added.

Drink Up at this Floating Lemonade Stand Operated by Two Seattle Sisters

Beloved Boating Events Return

It’s a boat…it’s a pontoon…wait, it’s a floating lemonade shop! One of the sweetest additions to the Lake Union scene this summer was the new Quinn & Kate’s Lemonade, owned and operated by a pair of Seattle school-age siblings. With a little help from dad, Quinn Carner, 8, and sister Kate Carner, 11, launched their business in May, selling icy glasses of homemade lemonade and other frosty treats to kayakers, paddlers, and boaters on the lake from their roaming stand. Adorned with artificial grass, a petite picnic table, and a farmhouse-inspired hut stocked with supplies, it can be steered via a Bluetooth-operated motor driven by their father, Ned Carner, from a nearby kayak or the family’s houseboat.

Lemonades sell for $3 each and the girls are donating a third of their profits to a charity of their choosing, in this case Rainier Animal Fund; they also received a microloan to start their stand, and are now paying that forward by donating microloan funds to other women-owned and -operated businesses around the world. The budding entrepreneurs plan to continue selling lemonade during the month of September, and post each day’s lake location on their Instagram feed, @lemonsforgood. Keep a weather eye out, perhaps some cash stashed in your back pocket (although they do accept Venmo and ApplePay), and snag a feel-good glass for yourself.

For more details on both the stand and the sisters, go to: lemonsforgood.com.

Two of the region’s most popular boating events are set to return this month; get your tickets and prepare to make way:

Overnight Sensation The artful accommodations of the future? Anthénea’s fully equipped, eco-friendly floating condos allow you to lap in luxury on the high seas.

Is it an eco-savvy vessel that can efficiently glide over the seas with minimal impact?

Or, maybe an uber luxurious hotel room with spa-like amenities? When it comes to the intriguing new Anthénea (anthenea.fr/en/anthenea/) floating condo concept from France, the answer is: both.

Available to both private buyers looking to purchase their own private oasis, or to hotels, restaurants, spas, and other businesses looking to add on-water space to their sites, Anthénea officially opened up for orders late this summer, with delivery to eager buyers expected in early 2022.

Billed as the world’s first seaworthy hotel suite, the fully autonomous pod offers modern accommodations suited for two adults or a family of four, with an elegantly appointed interior that includes an extra-large circular bed, lounge area, bar, and kitchenette.

Up top, the spacious solarium offers 360-degree views of the water as well as plush seating for up to 12 people.

Then there’s the eco element: Anthénea is powered by the five solar panels on its dome roof that are designed to automatically rotate to capture the sunlight; the pod can also be outfitted with electric propulsion and a joystick, as requested. Sitting atop the water like a lotus flower for minimal impact on the underwater ecosystem, the strong, seafaring structure can withstand winds up to 27 knots and is crafted from 100 percent recyclable materials—all seemingly making it a natural fit for a Northwest region that has been long known for thinking green.

Swim Your Own Way with Nautical Luxuries Barware Give your boating party an added touch of maritime elegance with this set of barware, featuring playfully etched nautical designs. In Nautical Luxuries’ Engraved Fish collection, dozens of stylized fish, individually diamond-wheel cut and polished smooth, swirl around each glass. Perfect for anything from a formal dinner party to a casual cookout, this barware set is made of heavyweight, dishwasher-safe glass that is sure to impress your school of guests. Look closely and you’ll discover one iconoclastic fish that swims in its own direction.

Available in a variety of sizes, from tumblers to flutes to stemware, $64-$77 for a set of four // nauticalluxuries.com 34

Keep Warm with Less Plastic, More Oysters The weather’s about to get nippy, so it’s time to gear up with some warmer layers. These fisherman sweaters from Long Wharf Supply’s SeaWell Collection will not only keep you cozy on deck, they will also help reduce the amount of plastic waste in our waterways. Made from a blend of recycled oyster shells and water bottles, combined with natural lambswool yarn, the SeaWell line is antimicrobial, ultra-soft, and lightweight, with designs inspired by the traditional buoy markings from New England lobster traps. Proceeds go toward reseeding up to 30 oysters for each sweater sold, and so far, Long Wharf’s effort have restored a total of 70,000 oysters. Available in a variety of hues, $128-$158 // longwharfsupply.com

‘Whaleships’ of the Puget Sound Print These whimsical, antique-inspired prints of historical ships of Puget Sound will be a great conversation starter in your salon. Above the waterline, the drawings are accurate representations of famous regional vessels from the last century, including the Queen of Seattle paddle-wheeler, the Lightship Swiftsure, and the Art Deco-era Kalakala ferry. The hulls, however, are represented by various types of whales carrying the boats to their destinations. Created by Seattle illustrator and tattoo artist Kyler Martz, the 18-by-24inch “Whaleship” prints are made with navy ink on cream French Speckletone paper. $100 // kylermartz.com

Fendersox Add Personality to Safety Equipment Boat fenders are necessary boat safety equipment to prevent hull damage, but that doesn’t mean they can’t express a little of the captain’s character.

With Fendersox from Flexifabrics Marine, you can show off your true colors with fender covers that come in a variety of styles, from national and state flags, to fishing and nautical themes, to sports team logos. They can even be customized to show your own boat’s name. Built to fit all G-, A-, F-, and HTM-series fenders, the covers are constructed with premium grade, 5mm neoprene to absorb all the punishment you can dish out, with no fading from UV exposure. $15-$500, depending on fender size // flexifabrics.com

Keep ‘Em Honest Ruler Sniffs Out Fishy Claims “You shoulda seen the size of the one that got away!”

We all know someone with tall tales of epic fishing adventures. It’s funny how most of the stories have no witnesses to corroborate them. Now there’s a way to show proof of these fishy exploits with the Keep ‘Em Honest fish ruler from Badfish Supply.

This tape measure can be rolled out to check fish sizes of up to 50 inches. But even the people at Badfish know some truths can never be told honestly.

As they say in the ruler’s instructions: “1. Measure fish. 2. Add 4 inches. 3. Tell your friends.” $12 // badfishsupply.myshopify.com

Bote’s Aero Couch Lets You Float on Air For those times when you just need some temporary extra seating on a crowded deck, Bote has a sleek, sturdy product you can roll up and stow in a few seconds. The inflatable, lightweight Aero Couch is suitable for all casual party occasions, expanding with a foot pump (sold separately) to a 56-inch width that comfortably sits 2 to 3 people. Made of sturdy AeroBote material, the portable seafoam green couch can be made rigid at 7-10 PSI and stands up to all kinds of wear and tear. Once deflated, the couch folds into a neat 32-by-13-inch square for easy storage, ready for your next party. $299; $30 for foot pump // boteboard.com

Walk Up the Plank When I decide to take a dive off the swim platform, getting back on board for a toweling off is a snap thanks to the SOLSTICE Inflatable Pup Plank.

The horseshoe-shaped floatie features a deep, weighted mesh section for me to find a foothold and clamber up, a high-pressure valve for quick inflation, and two D-ring tie down points to attach it to pretty much any pool deck or water craft. $199.99 // Available from West Marine stores, westmarine. com/solstice Maine Attraction Sophisticated and sublime, lobster is very on brand for me, thus so is this Catch of the Day Dog Bow Tie from The Foggy Dog. Designed by artist Cassidy Demkov using a hand-drawn motif of everyone’s favorite East Coast crustacean, this tie slides on to most standard-width collars via two elastic straps and is available in two sizes, a 5-inch-wide option for larger dogs and then a 4-inch that is perfectly Pearl sized. $19 // thefoggydog.com

Superfood, Super Dog Oof, who else is in need of a post-summer cleanse? Two paws raised right here, which is why I’m currently nibbling on a little Restore Dog Food Topper by Maxbone. Served in addition to my dinner, this grain-free, gluten-free mix is made from healthful salmon, zucchini, blueberries, and turmeric and chock-full of anti-inflammatory properties and omega-3 fatty acids to help promote joint support and a shiny, healthy coat. $24 // nordstrom.com FaceTime For those times when I can’t tag along to the office or the marina (a girl needs her beauty sleep, after all), it’s time to switch on my sleek Furbo Dog Camera console. Mom can keep tabs on all my shenanigans at home via the high-quality video feed and toss treats from the built-in dispenser with a simple phone tap.

She can even chit-chat with me via the speaker mic—though admittedly this is usually to reassure me that I can stand down from my post as watchdog because I have, once again, triggered the bark alert sensor. $169 // shopus.furbo.com

Pearl is a feisty and opinionated Jack Russell Terrier born on November 7, 2013. Her favorite treat is organic, non-GMO natural chicken jerky, as she likes to take care of her girlish figure. Pearl loves dog TV and sunbathing on the aft deck of her human’s yacht, which is moored on the H dock at Elliott Bay Marina in Seattle.

2022 43 Tiara LE Sport This sleek new model from Alexander Marine combines all the sport styling and luxurious amenities Tiara is renowned for, while adding a revolutionary rotating aft lounge feature.

Here’s a new Tiara model to make your head spin: The first-of-its-series 43 LE Sport for 2022 features an “aft social zone” with a rotating lounge to allow a 360-degree view of the surroundings. The lounge includes multiple locking positions and built-in footrests for several stable configurations—either facing two other angled cockpit seats looking aft or out to the open water.

To add even more room for socializing, the cockpit enclosure can be retracted to expand the space and improves direct aft access to the water. The rest of the cockpit includes a small galley, a sink with hot water, an electric grill, two refrigerators, a removable high gloss teak table, and a buffet-style countertop. The particular Tiara 43 LE Sport 38

from Alexander Marine in Seattle also includes a refrigerated cooler box under the starboard aft-facing seat, an icemaker, and a drawer freezer. To rinse off after swimming, guests can use the recessed transom hot-and-cold shower. The topside bow provides added relaxation amenities via recessed chaise-lounge sunpads.

The interior of the 43 LE boasts sport styling combined with many luxurious amenities, including architectural teak and driftwood accents, a premium stereo system, and a cockpit TV console that is electrically actuated to fold down from the hardtop roof. The helm features a molded-fiberglass aft-tilting console with an instrumentation visor, a 13.5” steering wheel, a fold-out footrest platform, synthetic

teak decking, and two rotating double-wide helm seats. For navigation, the helm features two Garmin 16” GPSMAP displays, a 600W transducer, a Garmin VHF radio, a Ritchie SuperSport compass, and controls for a Lewmar electric bow thruster.

Head belowdecks to a solid teak companionway to access two sleeping accommodations: a queen island berth and mid-cabin double berth. The master stateroom has a flat screen TV and a cabinet with a microwave oven. The mid-cabin berth has an end table and a hanging locker, plus a hull side window and opening portlight. The private head compartment features a locking door, a separate stall shower, a vanity with a ceramic sink, and a VacuFlush toilet.

Beautifully finished with custom Axalta paint, the 43 LE comes with the choice of two propulsion package options: Mercury or Yamaha. First, is the Triple Mercury Racing 450R V8 Supercharged 4.6-litre outboards, while the Yamaha option that you’ll find on the Alexander Marine model is a set of Triple 5.6-litre V8 XTO Offshore outboards, providing 450 hp. These engines are also combined with Tiara Yachts’ integrated electronics package.

2021 Fountaine Pajot MY6 Created by an internationally renowned design team, the new MY6 catamaran available from Sundance Yachts features an abundance of space, plus extraordinary fuel efficiency for long-range, blue-water cruising.

40

The MY6 (formerly called the MY 44) is the latest power catamaran offered by France’s revered Fountaine Pajot and features luxury accommodations and long-range, open ocean cruising capabilities.

Designed by the legendary naval architects Daniel Andreiu and PierAngelo Andreani, the MY6 offers an unprecedented amount of living space for a multihull vessel. The flybridge, measuring nearly 130 square feet, enables spectacular open-air views of the horizon, as well as room for a sunpad lounge, a table, starboard seating, and one of boat’s two helm stations. Another sunpad can be found on the lounge deck in the forward cockpit.

A curved staircase provides access from the flybridge to the aft cockpit area, equipped with padded benches and plenty of room for an optional table. The swim platform is hydraulically equipped to be lowered to the water or can be used to store a dinghy crane. Inside, MY6’s beam of 21’7” allows for a salon encompassing a generous 215 square feet, with a comfortable L-shaped couch in the lounge, a flatscreen TV that can be hidden behind a wall panel, an adjustable dining table to fit eight people, and a galley that opens directly onto the aft cockpit. The galley includes a full-size refrigerator for long trips, a cooktop, and a stove, as well as space for an optional microwave.

In the passageway, the berths offer full sea-facing views through panoramic windows yet still provide voluminous storage space. The 161-square-foot owner’s suite on the port includes a king-size bed, a wall-mounted TV, and an en suite head with a shower stall. The two VIP bedrooms on starboard have island queen or double beds, plus their own en suite heads. Another forward storage space, with access to the salon, can also be converted into a small stateroom for children.

At the main helm, the electronics package includes the standard Volvo Penta 500 (or optional 600) IPS controls, providing easy maneuvering for skippers of any experience level. Lateral movements at the dock can be made with the simple push of the joystick. On the water, the twin Volvo engines and the semi-displacement hulls deliver outstanding stability in all sea conditions, even at the top speed of 30 knots. The fuel-efficient MY6 is designed specifically for long-range, blue-water cruising, with a range of up to 2,000 nautical miles on a single fuel tank.

2019 Riviera 395 SUV Handsomely outfitted with modern luxuries and easy to handle at the helm, this Riviera 395 SUV available from Emerald Pacific Yachts performs like a dream.

This Riviera 395 SUV is a stellar example of the finest in Australian yacht design, with easy handling, modern luxuries, and surprising versatility.

Moored in freshwater since it was built in 2019, Cassis has been carefully maintained, possessing an easy flow from cockpit to galley to salon.

The main deck level is handsomely fitted with high gloss cherrywood interiors. The salon features a lower helm with two upgraded 12-inch Garmin 7612 displays with integrated GPS and autopilot features, as well as trim assist, Garmin AIS, and open-array radar. A raised lounge is located opposite, providing views forward for guests. A lift-up, 32-inch TV is positioned forward of the lounge, making it viewable from every part of the salon and cockpit. Electric sunroof hatches are set on both sides of the SUV hardtop, above the helm and forward lounge.

A tinted-glass bulkhead separates the salon and cockpit, which provides ample space for entertaining and comfortable seating for up to eight adults.

Aft of the composite teak cockpit, a swim platform has room for all kinds of water sports. A barbecue unit is located across the transom, facing forward and accessed from the swim platform, so the chef can converse with guests.

To enjoy the Seattle summers, the 395 SUV includes a molded inset in the foredeck with room for a sunlounge pod.

44

The aft galley on the starboard side is equipped with an electric cooktop, sink, and food preparation benchtop. Underneath the bench is a convection microwave oven and a deep-drawer refrigerator. Opposite the galley, a raised dining area features L-shape seating with sweeping views through wrap-around windows.

Belowdecks, there are sleeping quarters for up to five adults. The forward master stateroom includes a queen-size, walk-around bed, a wardrobe, and overhead lockers. With three single berths, the midships cabin boasts a wardrobe at the entry and the twin beds on the starboard side can be converted with an infill into a large double bed. The generous-sized head, with two-way access to both cabins, includes a vanity, a Vacuflush toilet, and a separate shower stall. Large hull windows and portholes on both sides provide plenty of natural light and ventilation.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-IPS 500 inboard engines, Cassis puts out a combined total of 740 horses. The cruising speed is 22 knots, but top speeds of 30 knots can be achieved, with a range of about 300 nautical miles.

Even those new to skippering can feel in control behind the helm with two Volvo joystick controls. The IPS offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio, enhanced torque, and improved fuel efficiency, while the underwater exhausts muffle engine noise.

The Center for Wooden Boats invites you inside the bustling boatshops that hum at the heart of its historic and iconic campus nestled on the shores of South Lake Union. Here, in both the light-filled Wagner Education Center and the distinctive floating boatshop, classic wooden boats are lovingly, artfully, and masterfully created or restored at the hands of the expert in-house team and enthusiastic students alike.

This beautifully intricate oar belongs to a 100-year old Whitehall rowboat in CWB’s livery.

Here, the hand-stitched leather protects the oar from chafing in the oarlocks, with a button to keep it from sliding out of place on the boat.

Want to give it a try? You can, as CWB offers weeklong, build-your-own-boat workshops in partnership with Chesapeake Light Craft. Working away in the airy shop space inside the Wagner Education Center, the budding builders here lay fiberglass over the decks of their kayaks as they are guided by instructor Casey Wilkinson of Kea Kayaks. Above, one finished design boasts an orca overlay, crafted from a nicely finished piece of plywood, to serve as a personalized detail on top of the bow.

Preserved and displayed in all her original glory, this historic Kitten from the late 1920s served as a model when the team recently built their own replica version in the shop.

SAILOR DESIGN BY

Renowned local architect Steve Hoedemaker draws on a longtime love of boating to design structures synergic with both land and sea.

PHOTOS OF THIS HOME BY ANDREW GIAMMARCO

When it comes to local architect Steve Hoedemaker, it could be said that building design flows through his brain as much as boating runs in his blood, the two passions combining to create an artful expression of the Pacific Northwest’s genetic make-up.

A partner in the Georgetown-based architecture firm Hoedemaker Pfeiffer (hoedemakerpfeiffer.com), Hoedemaker is a third-generation sailor who grew up exploring the waters of the Puget Sound region with his family, often voyaging back and forth from the city and the familial lodgings on Lopez Island. His father David was also an architect, and Hoedemaker fondly recalls father-son time learning the intricacies of sailing, first on his grandfather’s boat and then on the Norwester, his father’s 1963 50-foot Kettenburg—and the vessel Hoedemaker still sails on to this day.

“Even in my earliest memories, I was never not on a sailboat,” Hoedemaker says. “Sailing to me is a soul position, the place I go to recharge and find inspiration. It’s where I’m happiest.”

Perhaps it’s little wonder that his professional portfolio now often includes nods to this most personal passion.

60

The Hoedemaker Pfeiffer team is well-known and regarded for designing soulful, light-filled spaces that blend beautifully with the landscape and bring the outside in. Thus, over the years, the firm has been tasked with crafting many second family homes, which in the Pacific Northwest means they are frequently situated near the water—a match made in design heaven for Hoedemaker.

The symbiotic relationship between land and sea is at the forefront of many projects as you scroll through the design house galleries: There’s the hanging art installation comprised of Japanese fishing floats and nautical rope spied in the living area of a rustic-glam Whidbey Island retreat; the island home tucked just perfectly into the sloping hillside to maximize the sweeping water views; or, the folding accordion-style doors in one family cabin that open to allow for pass-through lake peekaboo views, starting from the entry and gazing on through the living room out to the glorious deck.

The West Seattle home that he shares with his husband, Thomas Swenson and their two dogs, littermates Tonka and Tripp, is similarly in tune with its surroundings, especially after the polishing the pair applied after purchasing the 1966-era gem. Perched on a cliff’s edge, the floor-to-ceiling windows in the cantilever living room almost beg you to escape to the water, boasting glittering views of Puget Sound, Blake Island,

Taking inspiration from its site in the San Juan Islands (an archipelago that Hoedemaker often enjoys sailing himself), the design team conceived of this sanctuary as a series of stone volumes growing naturally from their rugged surroundings— taking full advantage of the stunning water views.

and Vashon Island. The firm’s other managing partner, Tim Pfeiffer, collaborated with the duo on the interiors, which are both fresh and welcoming, while maintaining a sense of sophistication and place. You will find a similar aura inside the nearby Harry’s Beach House restaurant in West Seattle that the firm helped to bring to life.

“Here in the Northwest, there is a deep appreciation for modernism that is filtered through the lens of our natural resources, like fir and cedar, and then the water,” he says of the Hoedemaker Pfeiffer design philosophy. “When we design a space, we really think about how it will both connect the people within it, but also how it can connect those same people to the landscape that surrounds it.”

When he steps away from the drafting board at the end of the day or on the weekends, it’s time to sail again, bound for the San Juans or other local haunts with Swenson, some friends, and occasionally, Tonka and Tripp in tow. (Hoedemaker jokes that the pups would be classified more as “landlubbers” than natural sailors, but are so beloved they often still tag along.) Additionally, the classically adorned, wood-accented Norwester, which is actually owned and (very successfully) shared by a group of friends, is not the only one moored at the dock. There’s also a 30-foot Grady-White fishing boat the pair hops aboard for Swenson, an avid fisherman from his earliest days, to nab his

next catch; and then the 15-foot Skipjack Chris-Craft motorboat they use to zip around the lake for an afternoon.

But, it’s always the idea of the next sail that tugs the most at his heart strings. “I consider myself a sailor that makes use of powerboats when I have to,” Hoedemaker says with a chuckle.

His dream vessel is a sailboat he could take off-shore or up to the colder waters of Alaska, but for now, the Seattle native is planning to continue exploring the stunning home waters and ports that have always inspired. “I’ve always enjoyed how the water gives us a differing perspective, as we look back at the land from a new viewpoint,” he explains. “It’s very instructive to thinking about how design can connect to the natural world around us.”

ASK NI G E L—A B OA R D Zvi

BY NIGEL BARRON

The Finish Line Dispatch from paradise: NIGEL BARRON on successfully crossing the Pacific and the finish line aboard Zvi to cap off the Transpac 2021 race.

Transpac 2021 is now in the books. And while no ocean race ever goes exactly as planned, this one came fairly close. At seven days and 17 hours, Team Zvi made a quick crossing for a 2,221-nautical-mile race. Though we didn’t win, we learned a lot. Most importantly, we learned the boat is solid, highly capable, and we can press as hard as we are able.

We had a good practice sail two days before our start. The team of 10 race crew set up for the start and tested different sail combinations based on the anticipated breeze. The day before our start, we removed every item from the boat and then consciously decided what was coming with us and what we were leaving in Los Angeles. This was also the time for us to make a final sail selection based on the forecast. As I’ve written before, keeping the boat as light as possible is important in a race like this one.

The race started at 1 p.m., and we made a nice exit from the start to Catalina Island. Transpac is a race of three parts—the start to Catalina, the race to the ocean breeze, and then the run to Hawaii. The first three days are always the toughest because of a close to broad reach, so the boat is on a pretty good heel. This is also the part where the crew is adjusting to life at sea and a watch system that is four hours on, four hours off.

Life at sea is unlike anything experienced in Puget Sound, except we’re really treating an ocean race like an inshore race. Someone is always trimming the sails, someone is constantly adjusting the stack of sails on the rail to trim out the boat, and you’re pressing the boat as hard as you can 24 hours a day. Our navigator, Andy Koch, did an amazing job keeping us continually in the breeze. Andy was also continuously downloading the YellowBrick files to keep a track on our competition and weather files to 62

keep track of the ever-changing wind and rain.

As you’d expect on a long, hard-charging race, breakages, wear and tear are inevitable. Because the boat came out of a refit and went straight to sailing, we also adjusted our polar and sail selection charts on the fly.

The biggest single issue turned out to be the tack lines for our spinnakers.

We were breaking them from a chafe inside the newly formed bow sprit.

This was probably not something we would ever have discovered sailing in Puget Sound, at least not in the short term. This kind of problem takes time under sail to reveal itself. Thankfully, we came up with a fix in the middle of the ocean.

All in all, we had a great race and learned that we can be faster.

And we will be faster next year. Transpac 2021 turned out to be an excellent shakedown and practice for Pacific Cup 2022. As I write this, I’m sitting near the pool at one my favorite places, Kane’ohe Yacht Club on the island of Oahu. Kane’ohe is also the finish for the Pacific Cup, which starts in San Francisco next summer. Until then, I’ve got my list of fixes and upgrades to take to the boatyard.

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. This summer, he took part in the Transpac 2021 race captaining Zvi, a Reichel/Pugh design and McConaghy-built custom race boat from Seattle.

TI GH T L I N E S

BY MARK YUASA

Silver Lining Summer may be waning, but MARK YUASA has some good news—September marks the arrival of coho season.

As a kid I couldn’t understand how my parents thought time went by so fast.

Now I totally understand, it hit me like a ton of bricks during an August fishing trip that autumn is lurking around the corner. Despite summer being in the rear-view mirror, stowing the salmon fishing gear isn’t an option just yet. As I type this column, coho are barreling through the Strait of Juan de Fuca into Puget Sound and amplifying fishing expectations in the weeks ahead.

Coho salmon—commonly referred to as “silvers” for their shiny, mint-bright sides—aren’t the biggest salmon species, averaging 4 to 13 pounds, with some as large as 20-plus pounds. However, pound for pound, a hooked coho is known to put on a scrappy fight with their acrobatic leaping abilities and erratic zig-zagging runs across the water’s surface.

First, let’s take a closer look at the forecasted numbers in 2021.

Some gratifying news is that the Puget Sound coho returns during the past two years have eclipsed the half-million mark. The prediction is 614,948 in 2021 up from an actual return of 504,604 in 2020. Even better news was that the resident coho (fish residing year-round in local marine areas) provided decent fishing around central Puget Sound from mid-June into early-August. These “stay at home” coho have put on a few pounds and join their migratory brothers and sisters in the upcoming early autumn fishing festivities.

The marine locations to target coho are vast, but look for the bulk of fish early on in the Strait of Juan de Fuca at Sekiu (Area 5) and Port Angeles (Area 6). Both areas are open daily through September 30 for hatchery-marked coho with a two-fish daily limit. Look in the Strait’s shipping channels for the bulk of action, and watch for schools of fish and baitfish on your fish-finder. In the morning, silvers are often seen rolling and jumping on the surface.

The southern portion along the east side of Whidbey Island (Area 8-2) below the Mukilteo-Clinton boundary line was closed for salmon in 2020.

This was a coho fishing hotbed in 2019 and 2018, and a similar storyline is 66

possible this month as it reopens. Area 8-2 is open daily through September 19 with a two-fish daily limit, and requiring the release of wild unmarked coho, and all Chinook and chum. The northeast side of the island (Area 8-1) up into Saratoga Pass is also open daily through the 19th for all coho with a two-fish daily limit, although you need to release Chinook and chum.

Most coho chasers will also dedicate time around northern Puget Sound (Area 9), open for hatchery coho only through September 30; and central Puget Sound (Area 10), open for all coho through October 31. South central Puget Sound (Area 11) is also open for all coho through the end of October, and southern Puget Sound (Area 13) is open year-round for hatchery-marked coho.

A toss-up is the San Juan Islands (Area 7), which was closed to all salmon fishing under an emergency order in early July. WDFW staff was deciding last month whether to reopen it or not so check for any emergency regulation change at: wdfw.wa.gov/.

Hood Canal (Area 12) is often overlooked, and the coho forecast is 84,531 down from 107,169 in 2020, but still a respectable number of fish!

The “Great Bend” is open daily through November 30 with a liberal four-fish daily limit. Places like Quilcene Bay are expecting 32,158 coho, and they can be caught right now in this “terminal-type fishery” where your best success is casting and retrieving with a Buzz Bomb, Beau Mac or Point Wilson Dart jigs.

Here’s to one the best “silver linings” of fall!

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

More Cheese, Please Columnist PETER SCHRAPPEN on embracing and advocating for changes within the boating industry.

Did you know that Who Moved My Cheese? has sold 28 million copies since its publication in 1998? For the uninitiated, this ten-minute read by Spencer Johnson, M.D., centers on a parable about two little people and two mice in a maze, searching for cheese, where each character represents a different attitude towards change, with cheese being what we consider success. The moral of the story is, push yourself to find new cheese and the minute you start moving, life will get better.

That’s the frame for this month’s column. Did you know that boaters have not strayed from this change-culture ethos, too? Maybe it’s staying on top of the latest and greatest at the Seattle Boat Show, for example, when GPS technology was first adopted in the boating industry. Perhaps you went all in on non-copper paint when those alternative paints came on line. Or, there’s the water-maker technology that took hold in boating.

Closer to home, did you know that Washington state pioneered waterskiing?

Boaters have not strayed from flipping the script on boating policies, too. The list is long and one worth shouting from the rooftops.

For example, boaters led the way in partnership with Recreational Boating Association of Washington and Northwest Marine Trade Association to make boater education mandatory in 2005. This program has never looked back, issuing over 400,000 boating cards during its life.

The premise was straightforward: Boating safety laws were coming, so why not be at the table directing the conversation? Plus, safe boating is fun boating. A true win-win.

What about asking to get taxed? Can you tell me about another industry and user group that has championed more taxes than boaters? If you do not know what I am referring to, then take a look at your boat registration. Wrapped up with the other fees, you will find five dollars per registration is directed towards protecting our waters from derelict vessels and invasive species.

Want safer waters? Thank boaters (and again, thanks to RBAW and NMTA as well) for advocating for stronger boating-under-the-influence laws. Environmental policies, you ask? Well, did you know that the 68

industry co-founded the Clean Marina program and has continually looked at sensible policies around toxic boat paint?

So, all that to say, as we think about the future of boating and laws, it’s fun to think about what boating will look like in twenty years, especially given this modus operandi for change (okay, I think it is fun).

What issues will be front and center? And will boating continue to enjoy the current popularity it sees right now? The experts at CNBC seem to think so with their recent article titled, “Why the current boating industry boom could be around for a while.” And in the Pacific Northwest, will we continue to see the increased activity that we are currently witnessing even with some trends pointing in the wrong direction? The impasse around permitting for any in-water work and the continual shrinking of recreational fishing seasons that we endure every year both to come to mind there.

As long-time boating advocate Norm Shultz said on a recent call, “Boaters buy boats to get away from it all.” That sentiment gives me the heeby-jeebies. If you all walk away, who’s minding the store? Take fuel taxes. Seriously, take fuel taxes, please. Why wouldn’t lawmakers continue to raise taxes on us if we are not paying attention and speaking up?

As they say, the only constant out there is change. As we look down the fairway, let’s stay focused on the where the cheese may be tomorrow without fear, knowing that if it’s moved, it’s not a bad thing. Coupled with critical thinking and strategic planning, we could enjoy a sustained boating renaissance we have long sought.

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.

Big Sky Sailing Eastern exposure and some wild weather: DOUG HANSEN recounts this year’s truly unique Montana Cup Regatta on Flathead Lake.

North Flathead Yacht Club sits on the north end of Flathead Lake in the town of Somers, Montana. Directions to the club are somewhat unconventional, involving heading down the back road behind the famous Del’s Bar & Grill and continuing down past the old mill. The club itself is an awesome arrangement of dry storage, grassy picnic area, and rows upon rows of sailboats all waiting to drop their lines and head out on the waters of Flathead Lake.

Thirty-six of these sailboats were signed up for this year’s Montana Cup Regatta, with cruising classes ranging from nonflying sails to J24 One designs, and even a class of PHRF handicap racers going toe to toe in full fledged race boats. The racing format here is somewhat unique but certainly stands out against other clubs. The traditional wind is a morning thermal that kicks off at sunrise, holds until mid-morning, then dies off for several hours. In the afternoon, the breeze comes along from the west until just before sunset. With this being the case, the weekend’s racing was scheduled to kick off no later than 8 a.m. each day, with a scheduled “nap time” around lunch, before heading back to the racecourse in the afternoon to catch the evening breeze.

Our Seattle contingent was made up of two crews sailing onboard a chartered J24 and a recently fully rebuilt Moore 24. Chartering a boat always comes with some unknowns and in our case, we learned our boat had not been raced hard in several years as a number of blocks began to fail as the traveler track came clear out of the boat on Friday’s practice.

Thankfully, the damage was isolated to the mounting beam itself, and after a quick trip to the local hardware store for some lumber, a few frosty beverages, and a tube of epoxy, she was ready to race Saturday morning.

It was all smiles as we put the final bolt in.

The Saturday morning 7 a.m. boat call came very early for the fleet and a lot of sleepy faces were walking the docks (I assume they were fixing boats like us and not at Del’s Bar). At the skipper’s meeting, racers were warned that, due to a weather system coming into the area on Sunday, it was likely that the normal mid-day nap would not be in the agenda as the wind was forecasted to hold through the day with the incoming weather pattern bringing light winds, rain, and lightning. A very unconventional 72

southerly wind in the mid-teens settled and the nearly thirty-mile-long lake gave the waves plenty of fetch to build up.

We soon found ourselves slamming upwind in rolling swells and surfing downwind. Racing got underway with some subtle shifts and a variable breeze as the waves continued to build. Fleets continued to race throughout the day with pauses between races while the Racing Committee adjusted the course and sailors ate. The wind peaked in the early afternoon in the low twenties and a wave state that would make you wonder if you were still in Montana. And just moments after finishing in an adrenaline-fueled spinnaker run, the wind began to shift and drop off, and the fleet found itself firing up their motors to head back to the dock.

Coming in off the water just after 3 p.m. certainly made for a long day but there was still plenty of daylight left for racers to enjoy. Swimming, lawn games, an amazing two-piece band, and a wonderful catered dinner certainly made for a fantastic finish to an amazing day on the water.

Sunday morning arrived with an almost literal bang as the first rain in months pelted the boats in the storage yard and campground. With the whole region being ravaged by fire, it was welcomed and we all tried to remind ourselves of that as we headed out onto the water to see what we could make of the day’s conditions. The light air held long enough for the committee to get a race course set, but unfortunate technical challenges resulted in the first race of the day being abandoned. As the fleet reset for another race, the wind dropped off to swirling puffs without much push and with thunderheads on the horizon, it was time to get the fleet off the water. The weather cooperated for a couple of hours, allowing boats to be packed up and campsites broken down before the final downpour began.

We all hoped the storm would do wonders for the wild fires that have been roaring for weeks.

For any sailor that enjoys a bit of adventure with their boat racing, a trip to North Flathead Yacht Club should be high on the list. Challenging water conditions, a thriving and welcoming sailing community, and an amazing venue in the heartland of the Big Sky Country certainly make this event the complete package.

Paradise without the Passport Domestic bliss: Fluttering palms, pristine beaches, and aquamarine waters await you off the shores of southeastern Florida.

Palm tree branches gently rustling in the breeze and white sand beaches stretching forever; this is the alluring view seen from the sundeck of your yacht floating on the turquoise water. This enthralling tableau can be yours without a passport. A quick flight from pretty much anywhere in the United States, the southeastern shores of Florida offer storybook memories, picturesque backdrops, and delightful culinary diversity.

Once aboard, you depart from Fort Lauderdale and enjoy a short cruise down along Miami’s vibrant shoreline and into Elliott Key. Located within Biscayne National Park, Elliott Key was once home to pineapple plantations but now adopts a more serene atmosphere. There is something for everyone in this peaceful area of the coast. Envelop yourself in the coral reefs, islands, and mangrove forests. Dolphins, turtles, and pelicans make the Biscayne Bay Lagoon their home as well as manatees, a Florida favorite. Enjoy a dive or snorkel through the underwater Maritime Heritage Trail that links six shipwrecks of varying sizes, which have settled

on the ocean floor over several centuries. For coastal views, stop over at Boca Chita Lighthouse, or take a guided tour at Convoy Point to learn more about the local ecosystems.

Moving south you will discover Key Largo, set beautifully between Everglades National Park and North America’s only living coral barrier reef.

While you might not find The Beach Boys here now, Key Largo has been coined the “Diving Capital of the World” and is an ideal location for water sports. One can kayak through the mangroves or jet ski along the coast.

No trip to Key Largo is complete without a visit to Pennekamp Park, a popular snorkel site famous for its underwater “Christ of the Deep” statue and surrounding reefs.

Just east of Key Largo lies Rodriguez Key, a charming and quaint island favored by gorgeous birds, who explore the protected shallow waters.

The National Marine Sanctuary is full of endangered wildlife and their habitats: bird nests, feeding areas, and turtle-nesting beaches.

The next leg of your cruising itinerary will take you into the heart of the Florida Keys, Marathon Key. Known for some of the best fishing in the world, you can spend the day here catching tuna or grouper for your onboard chef to then prepare a delicious sea-to-plate meal for you and your guests.

You will be surprised waking up in this part of the U.S. as it resembles a favored part of the Exuma islands with incredibly clear water and amazingly bright fish. Let your captain cruise by the famous seven-mile bridge to Little Palm Island where your guests can utilize all the amenities that this island has to offer, including the blue lagoon pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the pristine white sand beaches. Indulge in ultimate island isolation here with dotted seashell beaches, tropical foliage, and acres of pristine paradise—the perfect day for rest and relaxation.

Rise and shine in beautiful Little Palm Island and cruise over to the southernmost point of the States, Key West. With its palm-lined streets and Caribbean air, Key West is the ultimate Florida Keys destination. Dock at Stock Island Marina and enjoy lunch or dinner at one of their three notable restaurants. One of the favored brunch spots is Blue Heaven, famous for their sky-high Key lime pie and lobster Eggs Benedict, along with the free-ranging chickens that cluck around the outdoor restaurant.

Explore the town and all its gems, including Ernest Hemingway’s house that is now a museum. Admire the iconic pastel-hued, conch-style houses that populate the historic district. And as the sun goes down, you will truly understand why Key West is famous for her sunsets.

After cruising through the Marquesas Keys, a beautiful uninhabited island chain, the yacht will make its way to the Dry Tortugas, another notable point of interest. The Dry Tortugas is a series of islands 70 miles from Key West with a rich history, mostly for its military associations, but also because the national park encompasses a sea of turtles, seabirds, and turquoise fish. This is

a special, isolated spot where the waves and tropical birds provide the perfect charter soundtrack.

After a serene trip south to the Tortugas, it is time to make our way back up to the northernmost part of the Florida Keys, Elliott Key. Stop for a snorkel at Sandwich Cove, Hurricane Reef, or the Mandalay Wreck. Revel in your last full day of water toys, tender rides, and snorkeling while enjoying all Miami has to offer. Cruise by Stiltsville, lined with wooden stilted houses at the edge of Biscayne Bay, and experience your last night out at Seaspice or Kiki on the River, two Miami hot spots accessible by boat.

Traveling by private yacht to this part of the United States is easy and carefree. It’s a truly memorable vacation one can enjoy with family and friends, especially aboard a vessel like the LUMIERE II seen here (more below!). Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, milestone, or just need an extended weekend away, our team can make your trip unique with a completely custom itinerary; just ask!

LUMIERE II Available for charter, this 203’ 5” Benetti beauty was built in 2010, and then refit in 2020, sleeping 12 guests in six elegantly appointed staterooms. For more information on chartering LUMIERE II, contact Lori Eastes at Lori@ WorthAvenueYachts.com or 206.209.1920.

Lori Eastes is thrilled to be on the team at Worth Avenue Yachts because chartering private yacht vacations combines everything she loves: party planning, travel, and boats. With a background in hospitality, Lori is committed to providing an unparalleled experience for her clients.
