Breezing Along

ENJOY ISLAND LIFE THIS FALL BY FOLLOWING OUR GUIDE TO BAINBRIDGE ON PAGES 54-61.

Associate Publisher Michelle DeRouen michelled@nwyachting.com

206.445.5453

Editor Kate Calamusa Creative Director Lou Maxon

As the daylight hours begin to wane and the crisp breeze of autumn settles over the Northwest, we invite you to embark on new adventures on and off the water.

In our feature, beginning on page 48, we take you on a thrilling sea trial of the Maritimo M600, offering readers an exclusive look at this impressive yacht’s journey from Friday Harbor to Anacortes, all before traversing north to the Alaskan wilds. Or, for those looking to slow down and savor the season, “Island of Plenty” on pages 54-61 explores the peaceful charm of Bainbridge Island. As summer fades and tourist season winds down, the island’s laid-back autumnal beauty becomes a true haven for boaters.

Of course, our regular departments will keep you informed and inspired. Randy Woods gives you an inside look at the new Ocean Pavilion at the Seattle Aquarium in Making Waves (begins on page 23), plus also reports on important updates from Washington state when it comes to moorage fees and bottom paint regulations. From the latest gear in Goods + Gear (pages 34-35) and notes on fall and winter razor clam digging (see Tight Lines on page 64) to a devilishly good taste of the season in Sea Fare (pages 68-69), we’ve curated the best for your boating lifestyle. So, grab your favorite beverage, settle into a cozy seat, and enjoy this month’s journey through the pages of Northwest Yachting.

[ OCEAN OF POSSIBILITY ]

Seattle Aquarium Opens Ocean Pavilion After 20-plus of planning and four years of construction-related waterfront traffic jams, the Seattle Aquarium’s Ocean Pavilion finally opened at the end of August, expanding the aquarium’s footprint by 50 percent and deepening the city’s connection to its historic and cultural maritime heritage.

The swooping curves of the 50,000-square-foot expansion includes the Northwest’s largest tropical reef ecosystem exhibit. Three immersive habitats in the new building showcase 3,500 aquatic plants and animals from the tropical Pacific Ocean, such as sharks, rays, reef fish, mangrove forests, and nearly 30 species of live coral.

One of the largest new attractions is called The Reef; a 500,000gallon habitat featuring thousands of Indo-Pacific fish, including leopard sharks, eagle rays, and blue-spotted stingrays. Another habitat, The Archipelago, recreates an Indonesian mangrove forest above the waterline and a thriving, colorful coral reef below. A third section, called At Home in the Ocean, represents the immense biodiversity of the Coral Triangle region between Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, allowing children to get an up-close look at exotic species like clownfish, seahorses, and leaf scorpionfish.

“It’s incredible to see this vision brought to life after more than two decades in the making,” said Bob Davidson, president and CEO of the Seattle Aquarium. “Our mission has always been to inspire conservation of our marine environment and that hasn’t changed. We need to take a global approach and think beyond our Pacific Northwest shores.”

Passersby on the waterfront will get a glimpse of the marine treasures before they even enter the Ocean Pavilion. In the plaza just outside the entry doors, a 30-foot-wide, 23-foot-tall round window, known as The Oculus, provides a view of The Reef habitat from below, with sharks, rays, and other fish swimming directly overhead.

The Ocean Pavilion will also use cutting-edge digital storytelling techniques to educate visitors about the interconnectivity and fragility of the world’s ocean environments. A 360-degree interactive video display in the One Ocean Hall room realistically recreates the experience of floating past a coral reef, drifting through a kelp forest, or swimming alongside whales in the Salish Sea. Later this fall, the Pavilion will open its landscaped rooftop, which connects to the city’s new Overlook Walk that provides a direct route from Pike Place Market to the waterfront. Once completed, the rooftop will include native plantings, interactive public art by indigenous artists, and sweeping views descending to the waterfront. The Ocean Pavilion is expected to attract about 1.2 million visitors each year, the aquarium said.

The aquarium’s $160-million expansion has been funded largely via the One Ocean, One Future public/private financing campaign, which is now 88 percent complete. The City of Seattle has contributed $34 million to the creation of the city-owned Pavilion building.

Now that the Pavilion ribbon-cutting hurdle has been cleared, the Seattle Aquarium will focus on the next stage of its ongoing revitalization of its older structures on Pier 59. The aquarium is currently planning to expand its Salish Sea education and conservation programs at the new west end of the pier. Another goal is to transform Pier 60 into a “living habitat” for native shorebirds and fish.

Designed by LMN Architects and built by Turner Construction, the Ocean Pavilion has been certified as a LEED Gold building for its energy savings and sustainable construction practices and won both a Progressive Architecture Award and a Build Washington “Excellence in Innovation” award. Using a closed-loop filtering and recirculation system, 96 percent of the saltwater used on the property remains inside the building’s habitats each day. The building also operates 100 percent without the use of fossil fuels. For more details, visit: seattleaquarium.org.

[ MORE FOR MOORAGE ]

Moorage Fees to Rise at WA State Parks in 2025 Tides rise and ebb, seasonal temperatures heat up and cool down, but fees? They always seem to escalate. Next year, expect to pay a little more to tie up at a Washington State Park dock or buoy.

According to the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, at the start of 2025, daily moorage rates will rise from $15 to $23 and the daily moorage per-foot charge will increase from $0.70 per foot to $1 per foot. For annual moorage, the rate will rise from $5 per foot to $7 per foot, and the annual moorage minimum fee will go from $60 to $80. Watercraft launch fees will also increase from the current $5-$7 range to a flat $7 fee across the board.

While the new rates will not go into effect until January 1, 2025, those seeking advance moorage reservations for May 15 onward next year will see the new fee increases applied immediately.

The new rates were approved by the commission in April to reflect the 20 percent rise in inflation since the last moorage rate increase

24

took place, along with utility costs that rose 37 percent from fiscal year 2019 to 2023.

In addition, standard campsite fees at state parks will also increase by between $3 to $5, partial utility campsite fees will increase $5 to $6, and full-utility sites will increase by $6, the commission said.

The charge for using primitive sites, however, will remain unchanged, at a $12 flat fee.

Washington State Parks has the largest state-managed mooring system in the country, with more than 40 marine parks and 8,500 feet of moorage across Puget Sound. Parks obtains funding from state revenues and user fees, with user-fee revenue making up about two-thirds of its operating budget. For more information on the rate changes, go to: parks.wa.gov/boat-moorage.

[ CLEAN YOUR BOTTOM ]

WDFW & WISC Remind Boaters to ‘Clean, Drain & Dry’ Before Winter Arrives For those looking to winterize their vessels or put them in seasonal storage now that the weather is turning colder, the Washington Invasive Species Council (WISC) and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) want to remind boaters that October is a great time to help prevent the spread of unwanted species that can damage the state’s waterway health.

Under the state’s Clean, Drain, and Dry program, WISC and WDFW encourage boaters in Washington to take some simple preventative steps to reduce the chances that unwanted plants and animals are introduced into the sensitive Puget Sound aquatic environment.

These three steps include: •Clean – Make sure all visible plants, algae, and mud are removed from shoes, waders, life vests, hulls, engines, trailers, and other boating equipment, using a stiff-bristled cleaning brush.

•Drain – Allow any accumulated water and bilge to drain from boats, transom wells, or gear—including water used in cleaning—before leaving the vicinity.

•Dry – Let boats or gear fully dry before using it in a different waterbody.

These simple, common-sense methods are “the best way for any Washingtonian to help protect our waterways from hitchhiking invasive species,” said Stephanie Helms, executive coordinator for the WISC. The most damaging invasive species already appearing in the region are Eurasian milfoil and Brazilian elodea, both aquatic plants that can attaches themselves to the surfaces of boats, motors, trailers, and other equipment. The plants grow so quickly they can overwhelm local habitat, crowding out native species and growing dense enough to clog boat engines and underwater pipes.

26

Another worrisome species that has not yet been found extensively in Puget Sound but is invading other nearby estuarine systems is the European green crab, which is spreading along the Washington coast and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The fast-growing crabs can outcompete other native crustaceans and can be potentially disruptive to the growth of local eelgrass beds.

Some of the more fearsome invasive animals are freshwater zebra and quagga mussels, which have wreaked havoc in the Great Lakes region and Midwest rivers and have made it as far west as the Snake River in Idaho as of 2023. The fast-growing mollusks have been known to encrust freshwater intakes in river and lake hydroelectric dam systems that may end up costing national water-based industries as much as $5 billion over the next six years.

The zebra and quagga mussel threat, alone, could cost more than $100 million a year locally in losses for the required repairs to water infrastructure should the shellfish appear in Puget Sound waters, said Justin Bush, WDFW’s aquatic invasive species policy coordinator. “They would require expensive and ongoing maintenance at water facilities, such as dams, irrigation systems, and fish ladders, and also could harm the environment, including salmon recovery,” he added.

For these reasons, the Clean, Drain, and Dry program also extends to non-motorized watercraft, such as kayaks and inflatable paddleboards and any equipment that touches the water, including boots and waders.

This year, WDFW received $3.6 million in state and federal funding to increase monitoring, prevention, and response readiness for quagga and zebra mussels in the Snake and Columbia rivers, and other statewide watersheds. The department conducted mandatory inspections in 2024 of more than 58,000 boats, kayaks, and other watercraft and intercepted 25 mussel-fouled vessels that were later cleaned and decontaminated.

[ PAINT, BY THE NUMBERS ]

Copper-Based Paint Ban Halted Again, May Resurface in 2029

Boaters who were concerned about an expected ban on the use of copper-based antifouling paints on recreational boats by 2026 can relax a little longer. The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) said in June that, because no safer alternatives have been found to replace the copper-based paint, the ban will be delayed—for the time being, at least.

The ban on the paint was scheduled to begin on January 1, 2026, but included a clause that said if the state could not find “safer and effective alternatives that are feasible, reasonable, and readily available,” the ban would not go into effect. Because none could be found, Ecology said it will “continue to study scientific literature and submit a new report by June 30, 2029.”

This is the second hold on the copper-based paint ban since 2011, when Washington first enacted legislation to end use of the antifouling material, which was to begin in 2018. After two follow-up investigations

by Ecology in 2017 and 2019 determined that some non-copper alternatives might, in fact, be more harmful to the environment than copper-based paints, the state legislature delayed the ban in 2020 and directed Ecology to continue to review related information.

Despite the multiple holds that have been placed on the ban, copper-based paint remains a serious concern at Ecology. Used by the maritime industry since the 1980s to prevent the growth of bacteria, algae, and corrosive barnacles on ship hulls, copper-based paint was found to be the most effective biocidal material. However, researchers later found that the paint can leach copper and other toxic chemicals into the water column that could inhibit the growth of other non-targeted flora and fauna, including salmon and other sensitive native species.

30

During Ecology’s extensive studies on non-copper antifouling materials, it identified only three chemicals—Tralopyril, zinc pyrithione, and DCOIT—that are registered for use as a marine biocide in the U.S. Test results on Tralopyril and zinc pyrithione proved to be no safer than copper, according to Ecology’s studies. The organic compound DCOIT (dichlorooctylisothiazolinone) appeared to pass the minimum criteria for antifouling effectiveness, but Ecology said the research was based on information that had “significant data gaps in performance.”

After six months of testing using the limited-but-available data, the Ecology study concluded that “DCOIT presented the lowest performance among non-copper biocidal paints and work less effectively than average copper paints in Puget Sound locations.” Ecology ultimately determined that it lacked “sufficient and credible data to conclude that DCOIT is an effective antifoulant to replace copper in Washington State.”

In 2019, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency adopted a “ maximum allowable leach rate” for copper-based antifouling paints, saying the paint can release no more than 9.5 micrograms of copper per square centimeter of a painted surface per day. Any amount higher than that would violate EPA’s Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. Starting in January 2023, the use of an antimicrobial pesticide called Irgarol was also prohibited in Washington State as part of a global effort to phase out the compound in commercial and recreational vessels.

Ecology said it will continue to search for safer alternatives to the toxic paints over the next five years and hopes to discover less harmful compounds by 2029. For more details, go to: ecology.wa.gov/.

With an elongated, muscular prow and streamlined, sinewy profile that gently curves all the way to the wide swimstep, the new Solaris 60 Open is built for speed and designed for luxurious day cruising, with numerous gathering spaces on the expandable main deck. Its two standard Volvo Penta D6 IPS diesel engines produce a combined 1,600 hp, giving the 60 Open a 25-knot cruising speed and 30 knots in a sprint. Two other options include larger D6 IPS 950 or D13 IPS 1350 engines, bringing the horsepower up to 2,000 and the top speed as high as 39 knots.

As the name implies, the 60 Open provides unobstructed, 360-degree views from the open-air main deck, which is partially covered by a hardtop. Walkaround side decks, lined with teak, allow for easy access to the expansive fore and aft cushioned sunpads for unlimited sun worship.

The aft sunpad in the teak cockpit sits atop a prominent garage for an RIB dinghy.

The primary midship gathering space is most notable for its fold-down hydraulic gunwales on each side, providing extra room for large gatherings around the dining area. Two long tables sit parallel along the cockpit centerline for alfresco dining for up to 12 people and are flanked by cushioned outdoor bench seating on both sides. Another forwardfacing bench on the transom sits just ahead of the RIB garage. A few steps forward of the dining space is the open-format galley, equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, stovetop, and microwave oven. A large outdoor

pop-up TV is also adjacent to the dining area, adding another entertainment option for the entire main deck.

The helm, forward of the galley, bristles with the latest navigational equipment, such as a depth-sounder, radar, log-speedometer, wind speed and direction indicators, computer, autopilot, compass, GPS, VHF, and bow and stern thruster controls. To ensure a smooth ride on choppy seas, the 60 Open also has a Seakeeper stabilization system.

The spacious cabins belowdecks are highly customizable and can be configured into a three-stateroom layout or two staterooms and an extra lounge area, with an L-shaped couch and a microwave oven to prepare small interior meals. One option includes a midship owner’s cabin abeam with an en suite head, a forward VIP cabin at the bow, and a guest cabin with two twin-size berths, sharing a day head.

The 60 Open is available now at SeaNet Yachts, but the Solaris 60 Coupe version will be arriving in the Northwest in a matter of months. While it has many of the same dimensions and characteristics of the 60 Open, the Coupe will feature an enclosed salon and aft-located galley, with a plush, L-shaped sofa in place of the long dining tables on the 60 Open. Aft of the glass doors in the salon, the cockpit will have a square table for alfresco dining. The hardtop roof will also cover a longer area and contain a sunroof above the helm bench seat.

Ocean Alexander 32L The epitome of luxury in its class, the new OA 32L from Alexander Marine impresses with an expanded galley, spacious skylounge, and other alluring amenities.

This latest superyacht from Ocean Alexander is the epitome of luxury in the 100-foot-plus class. With five to six staterooms, a jacuzzi, an expanded galley, and spacious skylounge/flybridge options, the 32L provides virtually anything you need for extended cruising and entertainment.

Twin MAN v12 diesels put out a combined 4,000 hp to propel the 106-footer that weighs 210 gross tons at cruising speeds of 10 to 18 knots.

The aft cockpit is accessed from twin staircases leading up from the swimstep, which can be raised and lowered hydraulically with a capacity of 2,000 pounds. The cockpit itself is sheltered by the overhanging bridge deck, but open on the sides. A U-shaped settee is situated around two tables near an icemaker and a wet-bar sink. Side decks lead to a forward-facing, U-shaped bench and table on the foredeck, which can also be converted into a sunpad.

Thorough the sliding glass doors is the salon, furnished with stone countertops, spacious cabinets, and customdesigned furniture and tables, including an L-shaped settee to port. Just forward is the dining room, with a large table that sits up to 10 people, along with extra-large windows and a day head to starboard. Forward of the dining area is the galley, featuring lacquered cabinetry and Cambria stone countertops and a kitchen sink with pull-out faucet.

Appliances include a Wolf electric cook top and oven, a Viking microwave, a Sub-Zero® refrigerator and wine cooler, an Asko dishwasher, a Whirlpool garbage disposal and trash compactor, and a Scotsman Brilliance ice maker.

A passageway to starboard leads to the owner’s cabin on the same deck, boasting superior views over the foredeck and an en suite head and shower in the bow.

An interior floating staircase leads from the dining room to the bridge deck above, which can be configured as a standard flybridge or a skylounge with ample space for socializing (the model offered here in Seattle boasts the latter). The helm is located forward, equipped with a full suite of Garmin navigational electronics and controls for hydraulic Sidepower stabilizers, as well as bow and stern thrusters. Aft of the helm is an enclosed seating area, with an L-shaped settee and table to port and a day head to starboard. Farther aft is the outdoor skylounge portion of the bridge deck, featuring a central jacuzzi for three people, more L-shaped settee seating, a stone-topped wet bar with swiveling chairs, and a Kenyon BBG grill. The far-aft portion can also be converted for sunpad usage.

Four or five more cabins can be configured belowdecks, each with an entertainment system and en suite heads with stone flooring. The owner’s suite has a king-sized berth, stone countertops, a vanity table, a mini-fridge, and walk-in closet. The midship VIP cabins feature queen-size berths and the guest cabins each feature two twin-size berths.

The crew quarters, located aft, can accommodate up to three people and include a kitchenette, a settee with table, private heads, a washer/dryer, a captain’s stateroom with a work desk, and two high-low bunks.

2003 Integrity Europa Sedan Meticulously maintained and ready for fall cruising, this svelte Integrity trawler is now on offer via the fine folks at Elliott Bay Yacht Sales.

This dashing Integrity trawler has been well maintained in its 21 years. Since her launch, the Sally White has had a number of overhauls and improvements. In 2019, the window frames were re-caulked and painted. The decks were fully refurbished in 2021, during which the teak was removed, and new coring and glass work was done, with non-skid surfacing throughout. The Maxwell 650 windlass was recently rebuilt with two bow rollers and new up/down switches installed. Most recently in 2023, the vessel was also hauled out to have the bottom repainted.

The Europa Sedan features covered walkways leading to the bow on both side decks. The covered cockpit can be entered from one of two transom doors on either side and includes wooden rails around the stern.

Storage space in the cockpit holds two lightweight propane cylinders for the BBQ grill on board. Above the swimstep is a Sea Wise tip-up davit system holding a 9.5’ aluminum-bottom AB RIB dinghy, powered by a 2019 Yamaha 15 hp outboard.

Moving forward to the salon, an aft settee is situated to starboard with all-new upholstery. The wood-lined salon features a built-in icebox and an L-shaped dinette sofa with a foldable hi-lo table opposite the settee. Forward of the salon is a compact, teak and holly sole galley to port, opposite the main helm. Appliances in the galley include a three-burner Seaward Princess stovetop and oven, a Norcold undercounter fridge, a microwave enclosed in the cabinetry, and a stainless steel sink with a fold-down cover.

The lower helm is dominated by a lovely lacquered wooden ship’s wheel and a cushioned helm settee.

Immediately starboard of the captain’s seat is a door providing quick access to the side deck. Navigation equipment includes a Ritchie compass, a Garmin GPSMap 545 chartplotter, a Furuno 1732C/NT Navnet color radar/plotter and BBFF1m sounder module, Wi-Fi enabled AIS, an ICOM IC-M602 VHF, and Simrad

AP-20 autopilot. The helm also controls the Side-Power stern thruster and Vetus bow thruster, as well as the Alpine stereo and CD player. Aft of the helm is a bar with bottle storage and a glass storage cabinet.

A ladder from the cockpit leads up to the flybridge, which can be completely enclosed by a recently added Sunbrella enclosure for inclement weather. The upper helm is located forward, opposite a L-shaped lounge seating and triangular table, a refrigerator/freezer, and an aft facing seat.

Belowdecks, stairs lead to an owner’s stateroom in the bow with an island berth, custom mattress, and side table. To port is the midship guest cabin with upper and lower bunks. The shared head, situated to starboard, features a stand-up separate shower and bench. Port lights in both cabins allow for plenty of natural light and ventilation, along with a ceiling deck hatch in the guest cabin.

A Cummins 330B engine with 1,628 hours of use powers it all, producing 330 hp and burning about four gallons of diesel per hour at a cruising speed of 8.5 knots.

00 Cast off on a sea trial of a Maritimo M600 as it cruises from Friday Harbor to Anacortes, before embarking on a journey to the Alaskan wilds.

By Arnie Hammerman

49

60 This past spring, I caught up with Kim and Jan, the owners of a 2023 Maritimo M600, in the San Juan Islands of Washington. They were kind enough to have me and my wife on board while taking a ride from Friday Harbor to Anacortes, even though they were finalizing preparations for an epic summer cruise.

They were getting ready to traverse the gorgeous Inside Passage, traveling up the east side of Vancouver Island, Canada, and then on to Alaska. This summer trip would keep them onboard through September, and, in fact, they are still cruising as of Labor Day 2024 as I write this missive.

Two other couples, who also own Maritimos, started the cruise with them. They all met in 2023 on a flotilla run by Waggoner, the leading cruising guide here in the Pacific Northwest. Last summer, shortly after taking delivery of their M600, they left Seattle and headed north with the flotilla for a pretty incredible shakedown cruise. They had so much fun cruising to Alaska and back, they decided to do it again, spending the entire summer cruising this year.

I was eager to speak to Kim to find out some of the reasons why he had chosen a Maritimo M600 for his newest boat. We boarded the boat in Friday Harbor, entering through the expansive cockpit, a hallmark of the M600 model. The cockpit is big enough for some serious fishing, although with all the refinements, I would classify Maritimo models more as fish capable cruisers. That said, the cockpit has a lighted baitwell at the transom and can easily handle a fighting chair. There is also plenty of room on the combings for rod holders, downriggers, crab pullers and all sorts of fishing equipment.

This lower cockpit area is also ideal for other leisure activities. Facing forward there is a console that has a refrigerated compartment, storage drawers, a sink, and a barbecue, which are all neatly concealed under contoured fiberglass lids.

This is a great space for entertainment and even dancing to the music coming from speakers located along the gunnels. The close proximity to the water and access to the swim platform through the

50

transom door gives the feel of a close connection to the sea. The lower cockpit is equally suited to entertaining, fishing, or just enjoying the breeze, adding versatility to this venerable cruiser. A step up from the lower cockpit leads to a covered cockpit lounge. This area has a variety of seating options that include a forward-facing lounge and a teak table.

Kim explained that customization was a major reason why they chose Maritimo. They wanted more than just different cushion colors and were able to arrange areas of the boat to what they wanted, for the most part, and add equipment that they chose. That doesn’t mean that Maritimo is a custom boat, but they do allow more customization than some other brands, so if you know what you want, they try to be accommodating. For example, in the cockpit lounge area Kim and Jan selected L-shaped seating and sliding doors forward.

(Another option keeps this area open and has bifold doors that completely open the galley to this deck lounge area.) With the back half of the forward-facing lounge wrapped with Isinglass panels and under the cover of the flybridge above, this protected space allows you to be outdoors but also comfortable—even in Alaska.

Inside the doors, the galley is central to all activities on the main deck with great connectivity aft to the cockpit lounge as well as forward to the salon. Maritimo signatures here include an upright fridge in addition to drawer-style fridges, freezers and dishwashers, and a convenient central island.

Jan was also able to set up the galley according to how she wanted it. Many Maritimos have a fold-out, upright pantry with wire shelves, but Jan set it up with drawers and shelves that better suit her style.

She also placed the appliances, including an oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher and numerous fridge/freezer drawers where she wanted.

Galley surfaces are an elegant quartz with gold-colored accents that bring out the warmth of the high gloss teak cabinetry and the ultraleather cushions and wall coverings that were also customized.

For our cruise, we headed up the internal staircase to the enclosed flybridge, a climate-controlled cabin complete with an outdoor sky lounge.

Helm visibility is excellent, with easy access to twin Garmin MFDs and comfortable seating in two adjustable bolstered helm seats. Overhead, Kim chose hatches instead of an electric sunroof as he prefers the practicality and reliability hatches provide. We eased off the dock and Kim noted the smoothness of the Twin Disc joystick control system, which he likes better than the pod drives he had on a previous boat. All Maritimos are driven by straight shafts, but the optional Twin Disc system with variable control of the transmissions as well as thrusters allows joystick control like pod systems, but without any delay or abrupt motion. I have used this system and appreciate the subtleness of the Twin Disc System as it makes up for my tendency to be heavy-handed with the joysticks.

Underway, the Maritimo performed flawlessly during our short cruise through the islands and on reciprocal test runs. With the optional twin Scania 1,150 HP D16 engines, we hit a top speed of 30.2 knots even while heavily loaded with a substantial tender, a Seakeeper gyro, and a lot of gear. (The manufacturer has topped 34 knots with an M600 powered with these same engines.) At a fast cruise of 26 knots, we ran at 2000 RPM using 93 GPH or 3.1 gallons per mile. The standard 1,200-gallon tank gives the M600 a range of 302 nautical miles, factoring in a 10 percent reserve. This range at speed makes the boat ideal for trips like an extensive Alaskan cruise. If you are willing to slow down to a 15-knot cruise speed, the range more than

doubles to 685 nautical miles providing tremendous offshore capabilities. Scania engines are relatively new to the recreational powerboat market, but have been used extensively on commercial vessels in the Pacific Northwest, so there is a service network here to support them, and that is in part why Kim chose these engines. Maritimo has used them for a number of years in Australia and the engines have proven to be reliable in other areas like Florida.

Twin Volvo Penta D13 800 MHP are standard and D13 1000 MHP are another option.

Bill Barry Cotter, the founder of Maritimo, runs an offshore powerboat racing program and brings knowledge from racing into the recreational powerboats he builds. Straight shafts with low angles on all Maritimos not only deliver clean power to the props but keep the center of gravity low which improves stability. A proprietary steering system provides instantaneous control and easy handling at the wheel. Maritimos are crafted in Australia where offshore conditions can be challenging, so they are built tough to handle whatever they encounter.

Our visit with Kim and Jan was over when we tied up in Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes, but even our short cruise helped us understand why this Maritimo M600 is uniquely suited for serious cruising. If you are looking for a boat that can take you anywhere you want to go safely and efficiently, Maritimo offers quality construction, efficient performance, and tremendous versatility. Whether on a weekend outing to the San Juans, up to Desolation Sound, or heading all the way to Alaska, Maritimo offers exemplary style and comfort.

Island

Relax, you’re on island time: Take in the autumnal splendor of Bainbridge Island as it beckons boaters with snug eateries, restful retreats, and a laid-back vibe.

of Plenty

By Kate Calamusa

Nestled just across Elliott Bay, with stunning views of the downtown Seattle skyline that complement its charming towns and pastoral setting, Bainbridge Island has long been a quintessential Northwest destination. But if you think you know this backyard favorite like the back of your hand, it’s time for a revisit—as the tides of summer tourists recede and those coveted ferry, dining, and moorage reservations open up more readily, autumn on Bainbridge provides an island of opportunity. Featuring walkable excursions, woodland treasures, and wondrous gardens, plus the hyper-local fare found at nationally renowned eateries, this classic haunt might prove to be your new favorite fall jaunt.

Sip + Sample: A Feast for the Senses Situated just a block from the ferry terminal in downtown Winslow, Bainbridge Brewing Alehouse provides a snug spot for craft beer enthusiasts to enjoy a pint or two.

Stellar seasonal options for fall include: the Anniversary ale made annually at the brewers’ whim, and thus changes each year, as well as a fresh hops IPA, both available on tap through the end of this month. Located nearby and just one door down from the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Fletcher Bay Winery offers both a swank tasting room on the ground level to while away a fall storm, or a fun rooftop wine garden to enjoy on sunny days. Both are fit for savoring a glass of the house wine made from grapes grown in Washington’s finest vineyards. (Fun fact: Both of the aforementioned establishments have secondary locations in the Coppertop Business Park, a burgeoning district about two and a half miles away from the ferry terminal off Highway 305. There, you’ll also find the appetizing and appealing Bainbridge Distillers, Storyville Coffee Roasters, Sweet Dahlia Baking, and That’s A Some Pizza.)

When dinner time rolls around, the hottest seat in town is at Seabird. Named one of Bon Appetit magazine’s 56

Best New Restaurants in 2023, the posh eatery is a heartfelt tribute to island-based seafood, with a menu that changes frequently but lately featured such standouts as: house-baked seaweed focaccia (trust us, it’s an umami bomb!), albacore tuna crudo, fresh mussels served atop a fragrant corn curry, and sugar kelp wrapped king salmon.

The sweet little spot is often packed, so reservations are a good idea or plan to belly up to the bar for the afternoon oyster happy hours that feature many of the same menu items, plus an array of locally sourced briny bivalves.

The menu is crafted under the direction of chef-owner Brendan McGill, who also runs the neighboring Hitchcock, an all-day cafe and bar that is an island standby for sandwiches, baked egg dishes, tartines, smoothies, grain bowls, and market-inspired salads.

Bruciato is your go-to spot for pizza. Crafted in the traditional Neapolitan style—type “00” flour, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, hand-stretched dough, and a very hot wood-burning oven—the perfectly charred pizzas are topped with seasonally inspired ingredients in addition to the Italian classics. (The ‘Fungi’ with foraged mushrooms, garlic, and fresh thyme is an autumn delight!)

BLOEDEL RESERVE

Seafood lovers won’t want to miss Proper Fish, where traditional fish and chips are elevated to an art form, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with a view.

And if you’re in the mood for something a bit more adventurous, the family-owned Ba Sa offers a creative twist on Vietnamese cuisine, all served up by very friendly and accommodating staffers.

Need something sweet to top it all off? Look no further than Blackbird Bakery in downtown Winslow and do yourself a favor by ordering up a slice of whatever tart they have in the bakery case that day.

If you’re yearning for a fully immersive dining experience, Hey Day Farm is your haven. This working farm offers a unique blend of rustic charm and comfort; the weekly Community Dinners are a coveted reservation that are easier to snag come October when diners cozy up in the charming farmhouse together.

Served family-style, the fare is grown, cultivated, or raised on site and sings with the flavors of the harvest season.

Explore More: Adventure for All Ages Bainbridge Island is a playground for the adventurous at heart.

Start your day with a peaceful stroll through the expansive Bloedel Reserve, where lush gardens and tranquil ponds provide a perfect escape into nature’s beauty. It’s more than worth the 15-minute drive from Winslow to take in the views of changing leaves that wash the landscape in vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds. On the south shore of the island, take a moment to reflect on history by visiting the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, an outdoor exhibit dedicated to the local Japanese Americans that were interned during World War II. Don’t forget to also visit Pia the Peacekeeper, Bainbridge’s own troll sculpture, a whimsical and quirky landmark that embodies the island’s artistic spirit. One of six trolls crafted by artist Thomas Dambo from recycled materials, she sits secreted amongst the trees in Sekai Park. For a true taste of fall, a visit to Suyematsu Farms is also in order. There you can find beautiful fresh fall wreaths, ornamental corn, corn stalks, and some truly unique and unusual heritage variety pumpkins and gourds.

Bainbridge also can lay claim as the birthplace of pickleball, so if you’re more into active pursuits, head over to the fittingly named Founders Pickleball Courts for a friendly game or two. And should you be in need of a wind-down afterwards, contact the fine folks at Fire + Floe to book a Camp Sauna experience. Here, you’ll flow between the heat of a private Finnish sauna and the cold salt waters of the Puget Sound as you reap in the benefits of contrast therapy, which include lower inflammation, improved metabolism, and more.

59

If you’ve been yearning for a sojourn to nearby Blake Island, but would rather not take on captaining duties, you’re in luck: Sailbainbridge offers unforgettable sailing excursions, including rides to Blake Island, where you can enjoy stunning views of the skyline (and perhaps even spot a pod of orcas if you’re lucky!). For those who prefer to stay on dry land, the Farmer’s Market runs until November and is a treasure trove of local produce and handmade goods. It’s the perfect place to pick up some fare for the galley and is located just a short walk away from the ferry terminal. Downtown Winslow, is also a shopper’s paradise, with a plethora of boutiques, but nothing suits a drizzly afternoon quite like perusing the stacks at Eagle Harbor Books.

60

Stay + Play: Rest Easy in Island Luxury After a day of exploring, you’ll need a place to rest your sea legs. If you’d like to relax on your own aft deck, there is moorage available at The Harbour Marina and Winslow Wharf Marina on the Winslow side of the harbor, and at Bainbridge Island Marina located across the inlet; all require advance reservations, so give them a call before setting out. For spur-ofthe-moment larks, the Waterfront Park & City Dock offers slips on a first-come, first-serve basis.

For those seeking a touch of luxury on land, the dog-friendly Pleasant Beach Village and Inn at Pleasant Beach Village offers exceedingly charming accommodations with sweeping views of the water. The village’s historic look and modern amenities make it a lovely jumping off point for enjoying the simpler joys of island life that come with the fall.

TI G HT L INE S CONTRIBUTED BY MARK YUASA, WDFW

Can You Dig It? Yes, you can: MARK YUASA outlines your best bets for digging out razor clams, plus details the go-to coho fishery for fall.

It’s almost time to dig into what should be a gold mine of razor clams this fall and winter, as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) shellfish managers recently announced 42 tentative razor clam dig dates at four coastal beaches stretching from October 3 to December 31.

“The 2024-25 recreational razor clam season will see similar digging opportunity to last season as long as marine toxin levels remain below closure levels,” said Bryce Blumenthal, a WDFW coastal shellfish biologist. “Razor clam populations on southern coastal beaches continue to be strong and healthy enough for abundant fall digging with harvestable low tides this season falling on Thanksgiving weekend, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.” All beach openings are dependent on final approval of marine toxin testing, which usually occurs about a week or less prior to the start of each digging series. Most successful digging occurs between one and two hours before the listed time of low tide. No digging is allowed before noon during digs when low tide occurs in the afternoon or evening. Here are the tentative series of dates: October 3, 6, & 7: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, and Mocrocks; October 4 & 5: at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis; October 15, 18, & 19: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks; October 16, 17, 20, & 21: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis; November 1, 2, & 5: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks; November 3 & 4: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis; November 13, 14, 17, & 18: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks; November 15, 16, & 19: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis; November 29 & 30: Long Beach, Twin 64

Harbors, Mocrocks; Dec. 1, 2, & 5: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis; December 3 & 4: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks; December 12, 15, & 16: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis; December 13, 14, 17, & 18: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks; December 28 & 31: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis; and, December 29 & 30: Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks.

Kalaloch Beach off the northern Olympic Peninsula coast won’t be open due to continuing issues with depressed populations of harvestable clams. On all open beaches, the daily limit is 15 clams per person. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container, and all diggers must keep the first 15 clams they dig, regardless of size or condition. All diggers 15 or older must have an applicable fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach. WDFW reCommends buying your license before visiting coastal beach communities.

For additional information on razor clamming, go to: wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfishing-regulations/razor-clams.

Grays Harbor Offers Decent Fall Coho Fishing Now that summer salmon fisheries are behind us, it’s time to put an emphasis on bay fisheries like Grays Harbor as waves of fish migrate upstream with every rainfall or weather change.

Within Grays Harbor (Marine Area 2-2) is a section known as the “East Grays Harbor or south channel fishery” which is open daily through November 30 with a two salmon daily limit (release all Chinook) and a minimum size limit of 12 inches.

The optimal time to have your lines in the water is during a flood tide, although you can catch fish on an ebb tide. Timing is key for success, and you don’t need to be fishing in the pre-dawn timeframe, which is commonly best in most other salmon fisheries. It’s all about the tidal exchanges.

There are three boat launches to access the Grays Harbor salmon fishery, and the Westport boat launch is best for all sizes of boats.

The Johns River launch facility is a gravelly two-lane ramp and better for smaller-sized boats. Both are the quickest route to the south channel fishery. A third is the 28th Street launch in Hoquiam, adjacent to the Port of Grays Harbor. (Be extremely cautious when running your boat from any of the launch facilities, especially the Johns River launch site. Follow the channel markers as there are many shallow sandbars, unexposed islands, and unmarked shallow points where you can ground a vessel.)

Once you arrive in the south channel, start your troll at the Goal Post (a distinct set of rotting wood pilings) located off the Johns River inlet. In this area is a trough that is 15- to 35-feet deep and runs east and west along the shoreline heading to the Chehalis River mouth.

On a flood tide, start at the Goal Post and troll eastward to Stearns Bluff, a landmark on the southern hillside. When the tide changes to outgoing, reverse your pattern to head in a westward direction, and hopefully, you’ll start reeling ‘em in.

Mark Yuasa is a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Communications Manager and longtime local fishing and outdoor writer.

RAC ING SHE ET

BY DOUG HANSEN / PHOTO BY ERWAN HESRY

Eying The Horizon As the sun sets on summer, DOUG HANSEN anticipates a big autumn event for the sailing community: The J24 World Championships.

The cruel reality of summer is that, eventually, it must end. It feels like an endless cycle of evening boat rides, weeknight racing, and weekend adventures throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Looking back on the warm season is always bittersweet, but the change of the season helps to make it special. You must take advantage of the warm days because they don’t last forever.

Reflecting on a fantastic racing and sailing season with Ballard Cup Monday nights rolling right into the one-design start lines on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and, of course, the chaos of Duck Dodge—they all blend into a symphony of after-work shenanigans. With the weeknight series coming to an end, there is a bright spot: weekend regattas are upon us!

This fall’s overwhelming focus centers around the most significant event in the Pacific Northwest in years. The J24 World Championship, hosted by Corinthian Yacht Club and presented

by Beechers Cheese, is in town from September 28 through October 5, perhaps even right now as you read this missive.

The stacked registration list is truly the top of class, with a handful of teams pulling out all the stops to win the world championship. Sailors will be shipping their boats to Seattle from across the United States and eleven countries spanning the globe, from Japan to Greece, to converge in Shilshole Bay for this anticipated event. The top teams represent decades of experience with the J24 class and bring many

top professional sailors worldwide who can push these old boats well beyond their original speed potential.

All 56 teams will compete together on the same racecourse and score overall for the top prize; the fleet is also scored within their division and separated into a handful of groups to let similar teams measure up to one another.

The Corinthian class limits all competitors to “amateur” status, meaning no professional sailors or sailmakers on the boats. The under-25s welcome young sailors to line up against the best of the world, and there was also a new All-Female division with teams made up of some of the top women sailors in the country.

A unique feature of this regatta is the integration of several new groundbreaking technologies that will assist the race organizers both on and off the water. Remote control and GPS-guided racing marks, created by Mark Set Bot, will be used for the race course, making the challenge of anchoring marks in the deep water of Puget Sound a thing of the past. To go along with the robot marks, connected GPS devices will be placed on every boat on the course.

These units, designed by the sailing instrument company Vakaros, are revolutionizing large fleet racing. The entire fleet's devices are connected to a mesh radio network and will be centrally controlled by the Race Committee. These units provide start timing and position information to racers and give start line feedback to the race

committee regarding who is over early and who has cleared themselves at every start.

Thanks to countless hours of volunteers and race organizers, the 2024 J24 World Championships are set to be groundbreaking and will undoubtedly go down in the history books of Pacific Northwest sailing. If you want to get involved, contact the Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle and they can point you in the right direction to sign up to volunteer both on the water and ashore. Learn more about the event and track the racing at: J24WorldsSeattle.com.

While the spotlight is on the J24s, it is officially fall, meaning the saltwater keelboat racing is starting in earnest. The fall calendar is stacked with significant events that bring racing boats out of the woodwork. Things kick off with the handicap fleets with the CYC Edmonds Foulweather Bluff race on October 5 and roll right into the CYC Seattle Puget Sound Sailing Championship on October 12-13. The Seattle racing calendar cultivates with the three-day Grand Prix Regatta on October 25-27, hosted by the Seattle Yacht Club. Finally, to wrap up the season and send us into winter, the keelboat fleet heads north for the Orcas Island Yacht Club’s classic Round The County event on November 9-10.

Be sure to check back here for recaps of these significant races and many others, as things are just getting started for this fall's racing calendar!

SEA FARE

BY JAMES O. FRAIOLI / PHOTOGRAPHY BY TUCKER + HOSSLER

Devishly Good Rich and fruity in flavor, with a refreshing bite of citrus, this striking seasonal cocktail is full of devil-may-care attitude.

Ready for a bold yet seductive drink this October? This devilish cocktail’s subtle red glow and striking appearance makes it a popular choice for fall sipping or for lively gatherings at home, at the marina, or on the boat. The balanced beverage features crème de cassis, a sweet, dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants—perfect for vampires and those who enjoy mixed drinks.

The versatile French spirit with its rich, fruity flavor adds depth to the cocktail while complementing the smooth, aged tequila that features notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice. The lemon, orange, and soda swoop in for a refreshing bite of citrus, and the splash of grenadine rounds out the earthy sipper with a blood red swirl of effervescence. Enjoy an El Diablo this month— compliments of Sammy Hagar’s treasure trove of recipes featured in his book, Sammy Hagar’s Cocktail Hits, which I had the pleasure of penning with the Red Rocker.

El Diablo Makes 1 cocktail 2 lemon wedges, divided ¼ ounce crème de cassis liqueur 1½ ounces añejo tequila ½ ounce fresh squeezed orange juice 7UP or other lemon-lime flavored soda, as needed Splash of grenadine Garnish: Fresh lemon wedge Fill a rocks glass with ice. Squeeze the juice of one of the lemon wedges into the drink, then add the crème de cassis, tequila, and orange juice. Stir and top with 7UP. Add a splash of grenadine, garnish with the remaining lemon wedge, and serve.

A James Beard Award–winning cookbook and cocktail author with more than 50 published titles to his credit, Fraioli’s books have been featured on Ellen and the Food Network, and in Vogue, People, Forbes, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times.

He resides in Bellevue, but keeps his boat (a 37-foot Riviera) in beautiful Anacortes, the gateway to his beloved San Juan Islands. Have a cookbook idea or project in mind? Email james@culinarybookcreations.com.
