Though young, Tsumat is ‘a real yacht’

By Lucy Chabot Reed A boat show is always a place to find new boats. We think we just might have found the newest of them all.

M/Y Tsumat turned eight days old yesterday.

Launched last Saturday from the Trinity shipyard in Gulfport, Miss., the 164-foot tri-deck still has that newboat smell, even in the engine Capt. Peter Nord on the bow of the brand new room.

Donate old flowers to make a difference Saturday was Make a Difference Day in the United States, a national day of volunteering. Some help out at soup kitchens, help an elderly neighbor with chores, or simply clean out their closets and donate the items to charity. (makeadifferenceday.com) At the suggestion of a captain friend, we’d like to save a few flower arrangements from the trash and donate them to a local charity that works with sick children and their

families, the Children’s Diagnostic Treatment Center here in Ft. Lauderdale.

If you want to give your flowers a new home, please call or text Editor Lucy Reed at 954-270-2239 with your boat name and contact person’s name.

We’ll come by and pick them up at your convenience.

Although we missed the official day, we’d still like to make a difference. And maybe we can make a few people smile.

CHECKING THE TIDE: How do you pronounce this word? Caribbean It wasn’t a trick question. We were just curious to learn how our industry can pronounce this important yachting region two separate ways.

The more common was the way non-Americans say it, CaribBEan, with the emphasis on the third syllable, as in “Pirates of the Caribbean.�

Americans and Canadians tended to say CaRIbbean, with the emphasis on the second syllable, as in the cruise line Royal Caribbean.

There really is no right answer.

Intelligent people use either one, and some use both, depending if it is used as a noun or an adjective.

For the record, though, the Stew Mariana Cecato M/Y Shalimar 118-foot Benetti “I’m from Brazil. I would never think to say CaRIbbean. It sounds strange, and it’s hard for me to say.�

Eng. Jason Holt M/Y Shalimar 118-foot Benetti “Americans do CaRIbbean. It’s kind of like the beer.�

Capt. Jay Kimmel M/Y Sharon Ann 105-foot Destiny “Who am I talking to? I’m from California.

I used to say CaribBEan, now I say more CaRIbbean since I moved here [to the U.S. East Coast].�

Chief Stew Jessica Orr M/Y Big Zip 142-foot Trinity “We use them both interchangeably now, don’t we? I guess it depends what comes before it.�

Both – 4.9%

Stress second syllable – 40.7%

Stress third syllable – 54.3%

American journalist’s go-to reference on these matters (the Webster’s New World College Dictionary) lists both, but the English-style pronunciation with the accent on the third syllable is listed first. – Lucy Reed Capt. Chris Lewis M/Y Ellix Too 155-foot ISA “CaribBEan. Or shall I just say ‘correctly’.�

Bosun Tim Brodie M/Y Zenji 185-foot Perini Nav “It’s CaribBEan. That’s proper English.�

Stew Krista Glauner M/Y Battered Bull 171-foot Feadship “CaRIbbean. Actually, I say both. It’s Pirates of the CaribBEan, but I still say CaRIbbean. There’s that.�

First Mate Brent Marks M/Y Lady Linda 186-foot Trinity “It depends on what I’m asked. I drink the Carib beer, so it’s CaRIbbean.�
