ITS NOT JUST THE TOUCHSCREEN.

ITS WHATS BEHIND IT.
Garmin was the first to make true, 100% touchscreen technology work
at the helm. Today, we offer the widest assortment of the most
popular, easiest-to-use touchscreen chartplotters available. Funny thing
is, its not really about the touchscreen at all. Its about what happens
when you touch the screen. When your finger contacts a Garmin
touchscreen, it reacts with high-speed responsiveness and performance
that takes network navigation to an unbelievably fast, liquid-smooth
level. And no one else even comes close to touching us.

It would be easier to find surveyors

if they were licensed, but theyre not,
which means you will have to take some
care in hiring one qualified to meet your
needs. Good marine surveyors dont just
appear theyve come up through the
ranks via a number of different avenues.
They may have worked in a boatyard,
spent some time in yacht design or,
more importantly, worked under the
tutelage of a qualified surveyor.
There are a few points you should
check when hiring a surveyor. First,
most qualified surveyors, while not
licensed, belong to associations
NAMS, SAMS and ACMS all have minimum standards for years of experience,
and some even test applicants before
admitting them. Second, your finance
or insurance company may have a list
of surveyors you can choose from. And
third, many surveyors specialize big
yachts, smaller boats or one particular type of boat, such as sailing vessels.
Be sure to ask what they do not inspect,
and get an expert to inspect those areas.
Another caveat: Beware the surveyor whos been in the saddle a bit too
long, whose advice and opinions go
beyond pointing out deficiencies that
make a vessel unsound for sea.
4 SEA / JUNE 2011

The surveyor can sometimes cause

everyone to lose perspective and kill a
deal by picking so many nits that you
lose sight of whats important structurally vs. items that have simple cures. If
a vessels batteries are 18 months old,
they should have at least another year
and a half of life. Should the surveyor
say they need to be replaced as a condition of the survey? Carrying this logic
a step further, if any part of the vessel
has equipment with a specific number
of remaining years of useful life, should
all of it be replaced? If you say yes,
perhaps you should be buying a new
vessel. If a surveyor followed this line
of reasoning, I would be inclined to ask
him to leave.
These and others are the types of
deficiencies, problems and questions
that can be difficult to resolve. This is
where I want a big-picture guy whos
going to sort out whats critical from
everything else and advise me as to the
seriousness of a defect, so I dont make
a foolish mistake and let my emotions
make the decision for me.

KEEPING UP THE EFFORT

Ed. Note: As the Environmental
Protection Agency continues its
march toward allowing higher
ethanol levels in fuel, many organizations including the National
Marine Manufacturers Association
and other marine groups are pressing the EPA to keep E10 around for
the approximately 400 million
engines that werent designed for the
new ethanol level in E15. They filed
a petition with the EPA to mandate
the continued availability of E10 fuel,
to protect the engines and to keep
consumers from filling their tanks
with the wrong fuel. Here is some

of what they are asking:

The organizations point out
that EPAs prior experience with fuel
transitions and misfueling demonstrates that labeling alone is insufficient to prevent misfueling. In
1974, as EPA led the transition to
unleaded fuels, the agency reported a misfueling rate of 15 percent
over 10 years after the introduction
of unleaded gasoline.
The petition for rulemaking,
filed with the U.S. EPA, says that
with a partial waiver ruling, EPA cannot assure E10 fuel will be available
for the legacy fleet, and therefore,
the petitioners request that EPA,
consistent with prior precedent,
ensure continued consumer choice
by requiring the continued sale of

gasoline blends of no greater than

E10 fuel.
The petition says that EPA
must assure continued availability
of E10 for three specific reasons:
There is a strong potential that
the reduced volume of E10 fuel
required in the marketplace might
result in the elimination of supply,
further eroding the availability of a
fuel needed for millions of off-road,
small-engine equipment,
EPA must create legal obligations
that ensure that the conditions on
which the waivers were based can
be fulfilled, and
EPA has enough evidence that
emission control devices would be
significantly impaired by E15 to
support a requirement for E10.

HIGH-SEAS ITALIAN STYLE

Italians know style, whether its clothes, villas or yachts. CBI Navi shipyard in Viareggio, Italy, put
this innate sense of style to work in its latest super yacht, Aifos. The yacht overflows with
contemporary catwalk polish and luxurious touches. Adding to the luxury, many of the floors,
furnishings and bulkheads are covered with high-quality, waterproofed leather, including goat skin.
The 164-foot, all-aluminum Aifos was completely customized to create a sumptuous, yet livable,
floating home. CBI started with an aerodynamic, semi-displacement hull and semi-tunnel propellers
for great maneuverability and stability no matter the speed or conditions. Sergio Cutolo engineered
the boats hull and structure, as well as its propulsion and onboard systems, while Giorgio Vafiadis
gave it a minimalist, ultra-modern flair.
The black outer hull and gray superstructure mimic the black, white and gray interior color
palette, highlighted with reflective and matte finishes such as chrome and mother of pearl. Around
every softly rounded corner, youll find airy rooms and sleek, elegant design. The walls, doors,
cabinets and headboards are dressed up with linear and geometric textures, bas-relief decorative
areas and laser-machined wall panels that look like modern artwork.
Any owner would adore the spacious, upper-deck suite that features big windows and an
outdoor terrace overlooking the sea. A sitting room furnished with a sofa, armchairs, a table and
a grand piano, and a large, double bed can be divided by laser-carved sliding panels. The master
bathroom has a Jacuzzi and a shower in shades of anthracite. The children will bunk in two bow
cabins and enjoy the workout area, play room and home theater.
Aifos is built for entertaining, with six visitor cabins. Guests will enjoy the grand living room,
outdoor seating, sun areas and a Jacuzzi. A generous dining hall holds two large tables, seating for
up to 20 people, and the well-furnished kitchen has a refrigerator, a stove and a barbecue.
More information: CBI Navi; cbinavi.com

Giorgio Vafiadiss design gives Aifos a minimalist, ultra-modern flair.

BY LISA HANKS

I LIKE THE WORKING BOATS BECAUSE THEYRE TOUGH, practical and

stoutly built, and theyve been in big, heavy seas, said David Doig
of Vancouver, B.C., of his 200-ton, refurbished fishing boat.
Midnight Sun has been out there for 71 years and has already
proven its worth. Its gone through more than Ill ever put it
through, and in rougher seas.
Midnight Sun has a rich working
history, having fished the Bering Sea
and parts of British Columbia and
U.S. coastal waters for halibut, salmon,
tuna and herring. It was built in 1938
for the Nootka Packing Co. at North
Van Ship Repair Ltd. to be a doubledecker table seiner, then converted
to a herring and salmon seiner.
From 1949 to 1994, two Norwegian
brothers, Nels and Knute Floe, and
their families ran Midnight Sun. In
1962, they stripped the boat from
bow to stern and rebuilt it, replacing
the fuel tanks and bulkheads and
adding a Waukeshaw engine.
After purchasing Midnight Sun in
May 2001, Doig and a six- to 20-man
crew labored on the restoration for
nearly five years. They rebuilt its original deck configuration, but extended
the house 20 feet aft, and totally
gutted the inside. Their biggest challenge was to keep the traditional look,
yet use readily accessible parts and be
able to service everything easily.
Its hull was rebuilt with fir planking
and oak frames, while the interior

features the warm, rich wood tones

of purple-heart and mahogany, which
are harder and more rot-resistant
than most other wood. The crew
milled a lot of planks from Vancouver
Island timber, including a huge, 2,500year-old Douglas fir and a salvaged
logging bridge.
Two rare features are a staircase
that incorporates a spiral stair from
a decommissioned British Columbia
lighthouse and custom-built, purpleheart furniture.
On top of the usual galley, wheelhouse and engine room, the 1,200square-foot boat has six staterooms,
six heads, a workshop, a salon and
a laundry room. It carries 5,000 gallons of fuel, 2,000 gallons of water
and a 425 hp engine. You could
easily travel around the world in it,
Doig said.
And the family has traveled up
and down the Canadian coast, from
Seattle to Alaska. My wife, my 9year-old son and I can run it by ourselves, unlike some of the more complicated yachts.

Bahia San Quintin is a pristine estuary

accessible only by dinghy or panga
and a worthy stop along Baja.

Baja Seven-Up
THESE STOPS ARE WORTH YOUR TIME COMING UP BAJA.
CAPT. PAT RAINS

FOR POWERBOATS, the voyage up the outside of Baja California in

early June is more often a cakewalk than a bruising bash. As prevailing Northwesterlies ease off and hurricane season is still to come,
your logbook may fill with comments like glassy seas and wallto-wall blue. You already carry enough fuel, have good ground tackle and pay close attention to long-distance weather forecasts, right?
When southbound, you wisely stopped only where necessary, right?
Great. Because nows the time to
enjoy the more interesting attractions
you missed before. Here are seven of
the best.
12 SEA / JUNE 2011

1 Man o War Cove: Located inside the

north end of Magdalena Bay, this wellsheltered anchorage is 165 n.m. up
from Cabo. From Punta Redonda at

Mag Bays entrance, proceed 10 miles

north along the sheltered inner shore
of the high barrier island, Isla
Magdalena.
The coves name refers to the
wooden bones of a Spanish ship that
was dredged up by miners in the late
1800s. Today, the giant bleached bones
of whales are used by villagers of the
little town called Puerto Magdalena
to mark their beach landing zone.
Dont miss going ashore near the
whale bones for a fresh shrimp dinner at Restaurant Mira Mar, which
caters to yatistas and Fubaristas, and
is the only eatery in town. With so
many historical shipwrecks, beachcombing for artifacts is rewarding.
2 Santa Maria Cove: Located outside
Mag Bay, this easy in and out anchoring ground at the north end of Santa
Maria Bay is 30 sea miles from Man
o War. Plan a brief excursion into
Laguna Escondida, the hidden mangrove estuary flanking Punta Tosca, for
close proximity to mangrove fauna:
Snowy egret chicks and baby brown
pelicans roost in the treetops, while
sea and land turtles haul out on the
shady banks among fishing shacks.
Getting over the lagoon entrance
bar is tricky, so its safest to hire a
local panguero through Bob Hoyts
Baja Outfitters, the fishing lodge
overlooking Santa Maria anchorage,
on VHF 16. At the far end, a 1.5-mile
trail above the dunes leads to the outer
beach, also famous for shipwrecks.
3 Thetis & Pistol: Continuing north,
about 20 miles off Cabo San Lazaro,
as you cross 25 degrees north latitude,
you motor right over sportfishing heaven. Your depthfinder reveals the pincer-like jaws of Thetis Bank and The
Pistol, two high spots with a narrow
deep-water pass between them, funneling prized marlin, yellowfin tuna
and ferocious wahoo practically right
to your swim step.
This is one of the must-do lunch
opportunities. Even the laziest cruiser can toss a simple boat line overboard here in the morning and catch
a dorado or sea bass for lunch.
4 San Ignacio & Abreojos: The annual gray-whale migration is over, but
in June, visitors to San Ignacio
Lagoon Whale Park may still see a few

Gray whale mothers

still be in the area through
June.

mothers with calves that

were born too late to head north with
their original pods. Extraordinarily,
San Ignacios mama whales often present their calves to some visitors, so
if youre very quiet, you can gently
pet or even kiss their babys knobby
head.
The whale park lies 130 n.m. north
from Mag Bay, but because you cant
enter the lagoon in your own boat, the
best (closest, safest) anchoring spot
is the east-facing beach bight about
2.5 miles northeast of Punta Abreojos.
To avoid the surf-prone south-facing
beach and well-charted reefs, approach
this anchorage from the east.
Because its so late in the season,
you may spot most of the lingering
late-bloomers on your approach, in
the calm coastal waters outside San
Ignacio and El Coyote lagoons. But if
a southerly storm is approaching, the
entrance to whale lagoons may be
blocked by breakers so push on.
5 Turtle Bay: This well-known stop
halfway up Baja reliably provides fuel
and anchorage in all weather. If you
anchor off the pier, you can stream your
dinghy off the rickety stairs on the east

side of the rickety pier, or land on the

beach west of the pier.
Two good bets here are having freshgrilled fish and handmade tortillas for
lunch at Enriques patio overlooking the
beach west of the fuel pier and visiting
the landmark church 150 yards west
of the restaurant.
According to locals, in 1966 two
badly battered U.S. sailors were rescued by local pangueros after their
race boat smashed on the rocks. The
impoverished Tortugueos nursed
them back to health for a month; then
everyone chipped in to buy them a
bus ticket home to Los Angeles.
Grateful, the sailors sent back money
to build Turtle Bay a one-room
chapel. Now, 45 years later, its the
largest building in town and serves villagers for hundreds of miles.
6 Cedros Village: Because youre
already cleared into Mexico, you no
longer have to declare an emergency
to stop at the quaint town (pop. 200)
on the southeast side of Cedros
Island. Jose Angel Sanchez Pacheco
is a young marine biologist and owner
of Cedros Outdoor Adventures; when

not leading tours, he

can be a liaison for yachts wishing
to stop here. He can contact the
port captain for you; find you a
dock, mooring or fuel inside the harbor; book a seat on the next flight out;
or escort you on unique tours such
as visiting the salt-mine docks on the
south corner, or up to Punta Norte
Lighthouse.
Jose Angel and his staff lead a wide

Give Your Compass Direction

Dont turn a blind eye on your boats oldest technology.
By Deane Hislop

BECAUSE THE MAGNETIC COMPASS IS SIMPLE, durable and reliable, it

doesnt always receive the maintenance it deserves. It is tempting to rely
solely on modern electronics such as GPS and chartplotters, but unlike those
technological marvels, a compass needs no power, has no software and operates when all else fails. As the instrument of last resort, it deserves a prominent spot on your maintenance list.
A properly installed and maintained compass should perform faithfully for the lifetime of a boat. A properly installed compass should be as
close as practical to the helmsmans
line of sight. The lubbers line index
mark, which you use to steer, should

be parallel to the keel of the boat. A

properly installed compass also is
placed well away from other instruments and magnetic devices (especially stereo speakers) and shielded
from the effects of sun and weather
when it is not in use.

Compasses dont break suddenly.

They deteriorate gradually, making
problems more difficult to detect. A
major cause of external deterioration
is constant exposure to direct sunlight
on open boats. The dome of an unprotected compass will eventually haze
and crack, making whats underneath it difficult to read, and seals can
dry out, allowing fluid to seep through.
In either case, the compass is a candidate for repair or replacement.
In addition to gradual deterioration, compasses can be affected by
Dont let the ravages
of weather
especially the sun
destroy your faithful
compass.

magnetic interference. You can conduct a crude check for this by watching the compass closely while turning nearby instruments on and off
including using the VHF radio in
receiving and transmitting modes. Any
magnetic interference generated will
cause the compass dial to move
slightly. Shield or relocate the source
of interference to eliminate the
problem.
Verify the accuracy of your compass at the beginning of each boating
season, especially if other instruments
or accessories have been added to the
helm area or if substantial changes
have been made to the boat. Changes
in a compasss magnetic environment
will usually necessitate some adjustment of its internal compensation
mechanisms. This is particularly
important to remember when buying
a used boat. If the previous owner hasnt had the compass serviced in a
while, you should assume that the
compass needs to be checked.
Adjustment of the compensation
mechanism is a service often left to
professionals. But for do-it-yourselfers, compass manufacturer Ritchie
Navigation has step-by-step descriptions for two easy compensation
methods on its website; visit it at

Whats in Your First-Aid Kit?

SENSIBLE SKIPPERS WOULDNT CONSIDER SETTING OUT
WITHOUT A FIRST-AID KIT ON BOARD. BY DEANE HISLOP
SCRAPES, CUTS AND BRUISES ARE ALL PART of the boating experience.
Everyone suffers them at one time or another. Being able to deal with medical situations appropriately can make them minor annoyances rather than
life-threatening emergencies. An onboard first-aid kit is your first line of defense.

The kits contents should enable the

crew to initiate appropriate care for
common medical problems encountered in the marine environment until
professional care, if necessary, is available. If you are within 12 hours of medical care, as most coastal cruisers are,
your requisite supplies are different
than if you are headed offshore. The farther you are from help, the larger the
required inventory.
A partial list of the contents of the
crew kit would include seasickness
medications, sunscreen, lip balm, aloe
vera gel, eyewash, cortisone cream,
ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin and
some other commonly used non-prescription medications, such as antihistamines, antacids and drugs for diarrhea
or constipation, etc. Be sure to stock
wound-care materials for minor cuts
and scrapes, including a variety of small
waterproof adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes and antibiotic ointment.
If any crewmember suffers from
severe life-threatening anaphylactic
reactions, be sure to stock some
epinephrine auto-inject pens in the
crew kit and know how to use them.
Trauma supplies are the major components of any vessels medical kit. After

seasickness, wounds are the most common medical problem. While closing a
wound may be considered optional,
cleaning and properly dressing it is not.
Wound-care supplies should include
nitrile gloves, anesthetic wipes, povidone-iodine for making an irrigating
solution, a 20cc syringe for irrigation,
tincture of benzoic swabs and woundclosure strips. There should be a variety
of waterproof adhesive bandages,
assorted sterile and non-sterile gauze
pads, non-adherent dressings, conforming gauze bandages, self-adhering elastic bandages and waterproof tape. Small
tweezers are helpful for splinter and tick
removal and can be useful in removing
debris from a wound. Burns from hot liquids are best treated with water-gel
burn dressings.
Fractures and sprains are common
and are best stabilized with a foampadded aluminium splint, which can be
molded to fit any section of an extremity. A compression elastic bandage holds
the splint in place. Small splints are
designed for broken fingers and toes
common injuries aboard boats. Splinting reduces pain and prevents further
injury to the surrounding nerves, blood
vessels and muscles.
A CPR face shield belongs in every
marine kit. It facilitates effective resuscitation of a drowning victim and may
protect the rescuer from some contagious diseases. Be sure to take an up-todate CPR and first-aid course.
It often makes sense to purchase an
off-the-shelf kit and supplement the
contents as you wish. Perhaps most
importantly, know how to use the medical supplies inside.

Time to Replace the

Wet-Exhaust Elbow
THIS ELBOW IS NOT A FUNNY BONE ...
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RUSTS THROUGH.
BY JOHN BEATTY

I subscribe to the axiom before

it breaks, it will probably leak. In
order to see a leak or other problem
when it first appears, I keep the engine
room clean and dry. A while ago, I
saw a tiny pile of rusty-looking mud
on my main engine heat exchanger.
The engine is an American Diesel, a
modernization of the Ford Lehman
135, and the heat exchanger is
mounted transversely on the aft end
of the engine.
I have seen oil leaks, raw-water
leaks and coolant leaks but red
mud. Whats up with that? Directly
above the mud pile was the wetexhaust elbow, made from cast iron.
There isnt enough space to get a good
look at the underside of the elbow,
but my understanding of fluid dynamics and gravity made the elbow the
only possible source. But the leak was
not at the joint where the elbow meets
the exhaust manifold or where the
hose leaves the elbow going to the muffler. It appeared to be coming through
the solid metal of the elbow itself.
16 SEA / JUNE 2011

This engine, and many others

found in pleasureboats, utilizes a
closed cooling system. The enclosed
coolant flows through the engine to
a heat exchanger and gives up its heat
to the raw water that comes on board
just for that exchange. As the raw
water leaves the boat by way of the
wet exhaust, it cools the exhaust gases
so the gas can pass through a rubber
exhaust hose without melting it.
The place where the raw water
meets the hot exhaust gas is the wetexhaust elbow, and mine was rusting
from the inside out. I figured I could
replace it myself.
After draining the engine coolant,
I unbolted the exhaust elbow from the
freshwater-cooled manifold. The elbow
is also the rear cap for the coolant
passages that surround and cool the
exhaust immediately after it leaves the
cylinders through the manifold. Below
the elbow, the rusty mud drippings
had removed the paint from the heat
exchanger. Mixing salt water, diesel
exhaust residue and heat must make

a corrosive agent corrosive enough

to eat iron and paint. This may be
caused by the addition of sulfur from
the diesel fuel reacting with the hot
seawater and making a mild sulfuric
acid.
When I removed the old elbow, I
discovered I could poke a hole in it
with a screwdriver. The useful life of
this cast-iron part is based on years
rather than operating hours and is also
influenced by how often the boat is
operated in salt water and how frequently the boat is used. If the boat
sits unused for several months, the
wet elbow stays wet for several
months. The soot in the exhaust gas
coats the iron and prevents some rusting. Less water and more soot will add
to the life of this critical part of the
engine.
I replaced the elbow with a sameas-original part supplied by American
Diesel. It is possible to find cast stainless steel replacement elbows for some
engines. They are as much as twice
the cost and may have as little as a
10 percent increase in useful life, but
theyre better than the alternative: a
welded stainless steel elbow. The
metal along the welded seam is
altered by the heat of the weld and
is very susceptible to early failure from
corrosion.
I think I got a good 10 years from
the original exhaust elbow. As long
as I keep things clean and dry and
inspect it regularly, I will get another 10 out of the new one.

TLC: Toilet Loving Care

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR VACUUM TOILET
NEEDS A REPAIR. BY JOHN TEMPLE
THERE ARE TWO MAIN WAYS that
your toilets can lose vacuum. One is the
seal on the bowl itself; the other is a leak
in the lines going from the toilet to the
pump. When my boats toilets are working well, they will hold a seal with the
pump turned off for months. If you are
willing to deal with a bit of messy work,
you should be able to easily and quickly
resolve either cause.
When we leave our boat, we make
sure there is clean water with a small
amount of approved deodorant in the
toilet bowls, and we turn off power to
the pumps (I have two vacuum toilets
with separate pumps). When we return

to the boat, I turn on each pump, and I

listen carefully to detect whether the
pump is running. If it runs and there is
water in the bowl, the leak is in the
hoses to the pump. If the water has
leaked out of the bowl, the seal in the
toilet needs to be replaced. Either of
these problems can easily be fixed in
most cases. Flush some deodorant
through, and put on latex gloves before
starting.
Fixing a toilet losing vacuum is a 30minute job to replace a seal or two. I
keep extra seals on board. Hose leaks
can be caused by the fittings not being
tight going into the pump, either be-

Clean and

Green.

Thetford Marine Boat Wash

cause of a bad hose clamp or because

the fitting is not tight. Fittings on T
pumps are reverse thread, and on S
pumps they tighten by turning clockwise. Taking off hoses is easier when you
use a hair dryer to warm them first and
silicon grease when they go back on.
Hand-tighten the fittings.
If you can, go to a local marine toilet
supplier first. They can sell you new seals,
duck valves and special cleaning tools.
They have toilets that you can take apart
in the store and learn how to do the job,
or they can recommend a specialist to
do it for you. If you are a do-it-yourselfer,
get an education in how VacuFlush toilets work at marinesan.com/vftoilets
.htm#howworks.
One last note: If your pump is not
making a vacuum with a well-sealed
system, it might be time to change duck
valves. Fortunately, thats easy to do by
yourself, too.

TV Upgrade Is Worth It
BY LENNY RUDOW

Im putting a new entertainment system in my 38-foot

Express, and Id like to include a 32-inch flat-screen TV. The
marinized versions Ive seen are twice as expensive as regular
TVs, and since it will be mounted in the cabin, Im wondering if I
really need to spend the extra money.
Gary R., Coos Bay, Ore.

On a boat that size, the answer is yes. Larger boats can often get away
with using regular TVs, because they dont pound as much and the vibrations arent excessive. But on a boat under 50 feet or so, the TV is going to
take a beating youd better spring for the marine version. Look for one
that has an aluminum frame, and choose one thats watertight (there are a
few of these on the market) for an even better selection, because of the moist
environment it will be in.

Fixing a Finicky Diesel Furnace

BY JOHN TEMPLE

My diesel furnace works

on the bench of my local
furnace repair shop. However,
on the boat it continues to fail.
What should I check?
Ronald F., Olympia, Wash.

I can appreciate the issue. I have

had problems with our boats Webasto
90S hydronic furnace. I am assuming
your heater has been cleaned of carbon and tested for water pressure leaking into the fire chamber. Im also
assuming that replaceable parts such
as the combustion tube, igniter, fan and
other parts are new or in good order.

Think about all of the components

on your boat that hook up to the furnace: fuel supply/pump, air supply,
clear and dry uninhibited exhaust,
thermostat and wiring connections,
power supplied at proper voltage, and,
if it is a hydronic heater, ample water
without air locks and a problem-free
water pump. The shop supplies
those when your heater is on its
bench.
First, if your heater fails, look for
any fault coding such as flashing pulses, which are explained in your manual. Bleed air out of the water supply on a hydronic system and make
sure the expansion tank is full.

Check voltage at the heater inputs

when the heater is fully stressed.
Replace your thermostat with a modern one, or make sure your existing
thermostat has no resistance in the
on position that could trigger a start
but not stay on or flip off just after
it triggers. Make sure the fuel pump
to the heater is working properly and
the inline filter is clean, and watch
for water.
Remove the input air supply
hose and see if it makes a difference. The exhaust needs to be clear.
Make sure there are no leaks and
that the insulation is in good
shape. If there is any chance that
rain or sea spray can get in the
exhaust, there are removable plugs
to put in the exhaust pipe when it
is not running.

Leave your worries behind.

Boating is a deal
as prices are on the rise. And rising fuel costs do
affect boaters. What if gas hits $4 a gallon at the
marina (or has already where you live)? Is it time
to do something else? Using a family of four as an example, lets take a look at other activities vs. boating.
Lets assume you already own the boat were just
dealing with weekend expenses and that you use your
boat in ways that its not always wide open. Lets say youll
use 100 gallons of fuel, which would be $400. This will
allow for some wakeboarding, cruising, lunch in a cove,
swimming and skiing. Divvy that up for two days.
Sandwiches, chips, etc., for four for two lunches, $25.
Soda and beer, $20. Gas to tow a few blocks to the ramp
and launch fees, $20. So, four people, two 10-hour days
for roughly $465 $23.25 per hour for a family of four.
OK, a theme park has to be cheaper, right? My friend
Pam, near Disney World, gives me this to start with: figure $20 in fuel because of traffic jams. Two adult tickets
at $87.33, plus two kids tickets at $78.81, plus parking
at $10, plus four lunches at $15.50 each equals $345.47
for one day. Two days is $690.94. Two 10-hour days
comes to $34.55 per hour.

John at King Carter Golf Course (public) gave me numbers for a weekend day. Each adult would pay $49, each
child $25. That includes green fees and carts. Assume
nobody has clubs, but you can rent them for $30 a bag.
Fuel to get to the course and back, $10. John says 18
holes takes about five hours, so two days of a total of 10
hours entertainment will run about $556, or $55.60 per
hour. And that doesnt include any food or drink.
Lets go to a play in New York! Her Highness and I thought
about catching a cheap flight. Counting cheap meals, it would
have cost us nearly $2,000 for two nights and three days.
Figure 25 hours of entertainment for $80 per hour. If you
live in New York, two tickets to a Broadway play are $650,
cab fare is $25 and dinner is $100. One day, roughly five
hours of entertainment for two people, is $150 per hour.
How about the movies? Four tickets at $9.50 each
and $4 each for four popcorns and sodas comes to about
$54. Add $5 for gas getting there and back, and $59 for
two hours of entertainment comes to $29.50 per hour.
Even with gas prices heading upward, boating still looks
like the best bang for the buck. And, to quote Rat, in
Wind in the Willows, There is nothing absolutely
nothing half so much worth doing as simply messing
about in boats. At any price.

FREE!

BY JOHN TEMPLE

I leave my boat for months in the off-season. How can I be sure my bilge pumps
will work? Mike T., Port Ludlow, Wash.
Many boaters test their bilge pumps by lifting the
float valve and listening to see that the pump works.
Also, you can check the pumps by turning the manual switches. These are good tests. However, there is
another important test.
Bilge pumps must be tested under stress. Do they
work if they actually have to pump water? I had a
pump that worked fine if you lifted the float switch
and it just needed to run dry. However, it would not
pump water. It popped a fuse.
I highly recommend testing all bilge pumps by seeing if they can pump water. You can do this in a couple of ways. One is to put water in the bilge section
and see if it pumps overboard. This is OK if the bilges
are clean and the water being pumped overboard is
clean. The other way is to detach the pump, stick it
in a bucket of clean water, lift the float switch and test
using the manual switch. Many pumps easily snap off
their mount for a test, and if there is enough slack on
the wire, they can easily be tested in a bucket of water.

My eyes are swirling reading the reports

about ethanol. Can you bring it down to
something I can relate to? Rex H., San Francisco
Lucky you. I just ran across an Australian report comparing unleaded, unleaded E10 and unleaded E20. The
E20 showed about a 3 percent power increase across the
board in a 15 hp two-stroke outboard, while the leanness of both supported what we already knew:
The more ethanol content, the more frequent the misfiring
and stalling at steady speeds.
Exhaust gas temperatures increased as much as 28 percent.
Idle speeds were greater with ethanol fuels.
Carbon monoxide was reduced by up to 45 percent with E20.
Hydrocarbons decreased up to 6 percent.
Nitrous oxides increased 91 percent.

So, the greater the temperatures created by ethanol

beyond what the engine was designed to handle, whether
two- or four-stroke, the worse the performance at constant rpm and the greater the risk of internal damage,
especially when other factors, such as stale fuel or blocked
jets and injectors, are factored in.

Marlow Explorer 97E

THE NEWEST AND BIGGEST IN ITS LINE
MARLOW YACHTS HAS BEEN BUSY building big yachts that can
travel a long way. The companys ocean-crossing Voyager 76LR
debuted at the 2010 Miami Boat Show, and this year Marlow upped
the ante with its Explorer 97E. This 100-footer with a 21-foot beam
can reach 950 miles at 25 knots and 4,000 miles if you slow down
to 9 knots.
While it sounds like a hard-working yacht and it is the 97E is
also a luxurious vessel from bow to
stern. A tour of the yacht reveals fine
wood and leather everywhere, with
an abundance of windows for an airy,
light atmosphere. A dining room sits
forward of the spacious salon and aft
of the well-appointed galley, which has
its own door to the sidedeck great
for ventilation or serving people on
the bow or aft deck without tromping through the salon.
The on-deck master suite is its own
retreat, with ample lighting from
wrap-around windows and multiple
hatches, a head with a separate
shower and soaking tub, and access
to the outside deck. The Shanxi black
granite sole in the head is just one
indication of the lengths Marlow
went to for luxury.
22 SEA / JUNE 2011

Belowdecks is a veritable maze of

rooms, with six guest cabins and aft
crew quarters. You could really get lost
down there. Not an I forgot my map
and cant get out kind of
lost, but rather an I have my map
but dont care to get out kind of lost.
Three of the cabins are rendered
VIP style, and theres what Marlow
calls a commissary with full cooking capabilities.
Up on the flybridge (or raised pilothouse) is the yachts only helm station, a feature that allows the main
deck to flow from the salon door to
the galley, and even to the master
stateroom door. There is plenty of seating, so people can keep the captain
company if they so desire, and a day
head. Plus, the bridge is the location
of one of the two country kitchens.
The other is on the aft deck.

Company tests have pushed the

97E to 29 knots, and the most comfortable cruising speed is 23-24 knots.
In a nod to the fact that this is a
yacht that will get used often, Marlow
designed a solar roof system that can
recharge the house batteries, which
will offer seamless 8 kw inverter power.
When its time to make blended margaritas or do the laundry, that power
will come in handy.
Company namesake David Marlow
is a man who enjoys taking his
yachts to the far reaches of the ocean,
and it appears hes made it his quest
to ensure other boaters can do the
same thing.

MARINE A-GLAZE CLEANING KIT | $175

No matter how much time is spent polishing and waxing a hull, constant UV exposure, acidic bird droppings, salt
and corrosive metal particles in the air will eventually
degrade its finish. Fusing an active polymer with a UVabsorbing element, Marine A-Glaze sealant protects gelcoat and painted surfaces from discoloration, chalking and
staining. One application will re-cover and maintain a vessels glossy finish for an entire year no polishing or waxing necessary. Each kit contains enough sealant for a 30foot boat, the prep coat, rinse-off shampoo and application cloths.

Vicem Cruiser 78
A WOOD-HULLED BEAUTY WITH A PILLOWY RIDE
BY CAPT. TOM SERIO

PICTURE THIS: YOUR EYES ARE CLOSED, and youre dreaming of lying
on a white, puffy cloud, gently floating in the atmosphere aboard
a pillowy ride. The motion is effortless, theres nary a jolt or shudder,
and the quietness allows for easy conversation.
Open your eyes. That type of ride
can be found on the new Vicem Cruiser
78. Thanks to the wooden hull and the
historic ride that timber offers, along
with the fine joinery and classic styling,
this entry from Vicem looks as good as
it feels.
From afar, the Vicem 78 we tested
has a gentle look, with a cream-colored
hull and off-white superstructure, along
with a strong broken sheer line and a
mixture of rounded edges and hard
angles. One of the angles is the nearvertical axe bow. Not a new concept, it
adds to the yesteryear look and improves
the yachts efficiency and seakeeping
ability. The two through-hull anchors
26 SEA / JUNE 2011

are placed as far forward as possible.

Gently curved windows, arched
sidedeck overhang supports and
generous tumblehome to name a few
features make the 78 a piece of art
that you can take to the sea.
A large curved settee built into the
aft bulkhead adorns the aft deck with
an appropriately curved teak table, ready
for alfresco dining. More than 20
recessed lights fill the full-length
overhang. Two large sliding doors open
to the salon, bringing in the great
outdoors or, better yet, taking the inside
of the yacht outside.
Wide sidedecks lead forward and up
two steps to the foredeck, which has a

huge sunpad on the cabin top. Just

forward is a molded-in cushioned seat
with a padded backrest, for that
exhilarating feeling when running.
Anchor gear includes dual Muir chain
windlasses, with rode storage forward
through a hatch to keep all access from
above.

IMPRESSIVE INTERIOR
On other Vicem models, the builder
uses darker woods for the interiors,
providing a stately feel with a high level
of comfort. Our Cruiser 78 has a Eurosense, featuring a much lighter shade
of wood anegre, to be exact. With
light streaming in from the large side
windows, rooms are brighter and appear
larger thanks to this light-toned tropical
hardwood.
Style is in, in the salon. Port and
starboard sofas are actually cushions

Vicem78_Sea trial 5/3/11 8:08 AM Page 27

on a built-in sofa frame, made from the

same wood finish as the walls. This
blends the furniture with the rest of
the salon, without having unwieldy
furniture pieces. End tables and a center
coffee table follow the squared-off
styling. Accent lighting under the sofas
adds a warm touch after dark. Your first
impression should be a lasting one:
sharp, crisp, airy styling with a focus
on visibility. A 36-inch LED TV in the
aft port corner is standard, with a 42inch model optional.
Up a step from the salon is the dining
area. The step gives the dining area its
own room, but there are no walls or
bulkheads between it and the salon, so
the space is wide open and uncluttered.
Seating for up to eight people around
the contemporary rectangular wood
table with inlaid trim works well. To
starboard is a credenza for glass and
bottle storage, and behind that is
stairwell access to the lower master
stateroom.
Forward to port is a U-shaped galley,
with Miele-brand appliances, including
a four-burner electric stovetop with a
dishwasher below, an exhaust hood with
lighting and a microwave oven. A SubZero unit is split between a standup
refrigerator and lower freezer drawers.
The large, deep sink is great for pots.
There is a sliding door to the port deck,
which is great for safety but takes away
some potential counter space. Vicem
uses appliances that have a large U.S.
presence for ease of information and
service.
A few steps fore is the lower helm
to starboard. A single Stidd helm seat
is well positioned to give great forward
visibility while maintaining a clear view
of the dash. Visibility aft is also good
through the dining area and salon. An
optional aft-facing camera is mounted
on the aft deck and comes up on the
helm display, which is useful when
backing into a slip.
Our test ride has a two-level dash,
with dual 18-inch Raymarine E140
display screens for charts, radar,
cameras, etc. The screens are flanked
by Raymarine autopilot and
speed/depth/temperature log displays on
the upper section. On the lower level
are two MAN engine displays, Bennett
trim tab controls, TRAC bow and stern

An Inside Look

TESTERS OPINION
This model is tailored to older
sailors who pine for a classic feel
and may want to actually get
somewhere, but dont let that
stop you from taking a serious
look. The Vicem Cruiser 78 will
help you enjoy the journey over
the destination a little more.

Whether its on the aft deck or in the salon and the

staterooms, the Vicem Cruiser 78 provides plenty of
space to enjoy the yacht.

thruster controls, a TRAC digital

stabilizer control panel, rocker switches
and throttle controls to the far right.
Access to the starboard deck is via
a sliding deck door next to the helm
seat, which makes it easy for the captain
to grab a line. Right behind the helm
seat is the AC/DC power system with
breakers and gauges. The real beauty
is that its well labeled and at eye level.
To port is an observation bench seat
sufficient for three or more people, with

a large chart table and storage.

STATEROOM ACCOMMODATIONS
Belowdecks are four staterooms,
three accessible by a stairway next to
the helm and the master with its own
entrance from the salon. Suffice it to
say that all three forward rooms (VIP
in the peak, full size to port and double
bunks to starboard) have en suite heads
with shower stalls, basin-style sinks and
overhead hatches. Staterooms are

finished with anegre wood and have

more storage than youll know what to
do with lockers, drawers and cabinets
abound. Oversized portholes allow
ambient light in and provide viewing
opportunities. More than 6 feet of
headroom should cure any of that
claustrophobic closed-in feeling. Vicem
does a great job with aesthetics such
as ceiling trays, wood and fabric trim,
stylish lighting, hidden drawer/door pulls
and recessed lighting.
Nestled beneath the forward rooms
is a mechanical area, accessible through
floor hatches in the hallway. This area
as is being done on more yachts
houses components such as water
pumps and filters, water heaters, the
central vacuum and other non-engine
room-specific systems.
The full-beam midship master is a
comfortable oasis, with a king-size island
berth that faces aft, so your head is not
right up against the engine-room
bulkhead. A double settee is to port and
a vanity table to starboard. Large
windows in the hull allow for near-sealevel viewing while also brightening this
living space. The beamy head, complete
with a single-basin sink and a large stall
shower, helps insulate the master from
engine noise.
This is Vicems second entry in its
Cruiser line of yachts. The Cruiser 92
has the same exterior styling, albeit
longer, but the interior layout differs.
Vicem also builds the Classic series (from
52 to 75 feet), the Bahama Bay line (from
52 to 58 feet) and the new Vulcan
motoryacht series from 32 to 46 meters.

GREAT OUTDOORS
On the Cruiser 78, even though the
flybridge structure is a little narrower
than the beam and has all of the niceties
youd want, it still feels roomy. Up the
stairwell from the aft deck, the flybridges
first noticeable feature is the optional
Jacuzzi. A Jacuzzi? This yacht is only
78 feet long. Yep, and with more than
12 jets to soothe your muscles, it fits
well on the starboard side, aft of the
long, U-shaped, cushioned settee and
its two gas-adjustable teak tables. To port
is a built-in bar with a sink and storage
and a cabinet with a grill and a
refrigerator.
The aft deck of the bridge has room
for tender stowage along with the

optional Opacmare davit. The radar mast

has aft-swept wings for antenna mounts
that keep them away from the rotating
radar arrays. The mast is hinged at the
base to lower it for bridge clearance.
Forward is the helm to starboard with
a bench seat or optional chairs. The dash
is large, and heres why: It has the same
complement of electronics as the lower
station, which may signify that youll
spend as much, if not more, time piloting
from up here. Go for the optional
hardtop (with 24 recessed lights and
polished stainless stanchions), and the
crowd will surely migrate to the flybridge
deck whenever they can.
Moving this massive yacht are twin
MAN V-8 900 CRM blocks, producing
900 hp each. Housed in a pristinely
finished engine room, they appear to
be recessed into the floor. What Vicem
has done is raise the center walkway,
which houses pipe, cable and hose runs,
and provides a birds-eye view of the
engines.
Vicems construction is noteworthy.
Using the companys cold-molded
technique, this hard-chined planing hull
is made of cross-planked mahogany with
West System epoxy. Lamination consists
of two-ply fiberglass with epoxy coating
and faired with a colored polyurethane
coating. The stringer system is
mahogany and hardwood framing. The
deck and hull joint is fully glued and
mechanically fastened. The top
superstructure is mahogany framing and
beams. With a smooth and glossy finish,
the 78 is all wood where it floats, and
it does make a difference.
Marine plywood is used for soles,
bulkheads, the main deck and other
areas. What all this means is that the
MAN engines will get the 62-ton-plus
yacht up to 17 knots wide open, with
a cruise of around 14 knots, burning
32 gpm at about 2150 rpm. At about
1000 rpm, the yacht travels at 7 knots,
while 1400 rpm gets it to 10 knots. What
impressed me was the amount the yacht
did not heel into the turns; it had more
of a slight lean, tracking true.
This model is tailored to older sailors
who pine for a classic feel and may want
to actually get somewhere, but dont let
that stop you from taking a serious look.
The Vicem Cruiser 78 will help you
enjoy the journey over the destination
a little more. Its heaven sent.

Cutwater 28
A WORTHY HEIR TO THE LIVINGSTON FAMILY LINE
BY ROGER MCAFEE

THE BUILDER THAT BROUGHT the very successful Ranger Tug line to
market has just introduced another boat and if early boater
response is any indication, the new vessel will rapidly become as
popular as the Rangers.
The new fiberglass sedan cruisers,
Cutwater 26 and Cutwater 28, are
produced by Fluid Motion LLC, a
Monroe, Wash., company owned by the
Livingston family, which has been
building boats since 1958 and is one of
the most experienced boat-building
groups in the U.S. The new cruiser,
following the Ranger Tug lead, is easily
trailerable. The only size difference
between the two Cutwater vessels is in
the length of the cockpit.
There is always a temptation, when
a builder has a successful design, to
simply slap a different upper works onto
an existing hull and call it a new boat.
30 SEA / JUNE 2011

In this case, the builder has resisted that

temptation the Cutwater is new from
the keel up.
A major, and obvious, difference
between the Cutwater hull and most
others on the market, including its
Ranger stable mates, is the fact that it
has what Cutwater calls a keel-stepped
hull. Most stepped hulls are built for
speed and therefore have no keel, but
one of the features of the Cutwater hull
is that it has a substantial keel in the
aft of the hull. This improves hull
tracking and adds a bit of roll-dampening
when at rest.
Another unusual design feature is

that the keel of this semi-displacement

hull has been widened slightly at the
engine beds, allowing the engine to be
mounted lower in the hull, which lowers
the center of gravity and improves
stability. Even more important in these
days of ever-increasing fuel prices, this
feature, combined with what Cutwater
calls a prop pocket, reduces the shafts
down angle to allow for a more straightline application of power. This improves
fuel efficiency and reduces draft.
Our test boat, the 28-footer, was built
for Port Boat House, the Cutwater dealer
in Port Alberni, B.C., and we got to tag
along as Mark Mansfield, Cutwaters
national sales manager, did some predelivery work.
The new Cutwaters are smartly
styled with a crisp, chiseled look that
bears no similarities to their Ranger Tug

Cutwater 28_Sea trial 5/3/11 7:57 AM Page 31

brethren. The deckhouse of this sedan

cruiser features windows all around.
There is no glass print-through or
hazing, and the hull sides of our test
boat hull number 3 are fair and
true. This is not surprising considering
the builders decades of experience.
Vessel access is through a starboard
transom door off a swim grid. The grid
itself is positioned at exactly the right
height above the waterline, making it
an easy and safe step from a floating
dock. This is an important feature for
boaters with small children or aging
parents.
An obvious feature in the transom
is the reversible, comfortably padded
seat that in good weather makes the
self-bailing cockpit a great place to
congregate. The cockpit is fishing
friendly no floor-mounted cleats or
other toe-stubbers. While the cockpit
sides are high enough to be safe and
secure, the opening transom gate and
large swim grid will make landing a
large fish easy. Should, by accident,
an angler slip off the swim grid
(something many serious anglers have
done, or is it only me?), the built-in
boarding ladder can be quickly
deployed. Our test boat is equipped
with the optional cockpit throttle and
steering controls useful while
fishing or docking, or during closequarter maneuvering in crowded
marinas.
The cockpit has a freshwater sink
and shower, a space for a cooler and
an optional barbecue. It also includes
the electric/hydraulic engine cover
hatch in the sole, which gives full access
to the engine and gear when its open.
Access to the foredeck is along the
narrow sidedeck, using grabrails on the
salon roof. The foredeck itself features
substantial handrails and a bow
platform with a ladder that allows
beach access over the bow.

An Inside Look

TESTERS OPINION
The new Cutwaters are
smartly styled with a crisp,
chiseled look that bears no
similarities to their Ranger Tug
brethren.

The traditionally
laid-out boat packs
a lot of comfort into
a trailerable
package.

COMFY CONFINES
Access to the deckhouse is through
an aluminum-framed glass door leading
to a traditionally laid-out main salon
a port-side galley complete with a
microwave/convection oven, a double
stainless sink and a refrigerator/freezer,
and a convertible settee/dinette to
starboard. Forward of the galley is a

mates seat, and forward of the dinette

is a double helm seat with a wine cooler
underneath. When the vessel is not
under way, the back of both of these
seats pivots forward to increase the
usable galley countertop and settee
space. There is also a 7-foot double berth
under the dinette, but its rather

cramped. However, the space would be

great for storage.
The deckhouse of the new Cutwater
contains more window glass than
fiberglass, and that makes for an
interior flooded with natural light. The
roof of the salon contains four opening
glass hatches, and even on a dull day

theres plenty of natural light inside. The

opening roof hatches also help with
ventilation.
In fact, the aft pair of roof hatches
on our test boat have two features that
will allow the vessel to ventilate very
well, even when its running in the rain
or punching into a head sea. They are
both hinged at the forward edge, which
means the opening is aft. This prevents
water from being scooped in as the vessel
is running. The second feature is that
the hatch itself can be dogged open only
very slightly, to allow a breeze to blow
through while not allowing water to
enter. This hatch represents a major
step forward in small-boat ventilation.
Forward and down two steps is the
forecastle, with a couple of features not
found on any other boat in this market
segment. The first, and most obvious,
is what Cutwater calls a breakfast bar,
containing a stainless sink, a microwave
and a coffeemaker. While this may be
perceived by some as merely a sales
tool, experienced cruisers know that if
someone is sleeping on the convertible
dinette, making even a cup of coffee in
the morning is a problem.
The forward double berth converts
to seating for four people around a highlow table that is part of the berth base
when the area is set up as the master
stateroom. A full standup private head,
complete with a sink, a hot- and coldwater shower, and an electric flush toilet,
is to starboard, and it is where the boats
second unusual feature is found. The
head, though located directly under the
dash, as is normal in vessels this size,
boasts a skylight that brings natural light
into the head space through a frostedglass panel in the ceiling.
The glass panel is located in the main
salon dash, just ahead of the helm station
and inside the windshield. Light pouring
in the windshield floods the head with
light through the panel. This is a very
effective method of getting natural light
into what is normally a rather dark space
if the lights are not turned on. The only
other new vessel using this feature to
bring natural light belowdecks is much
bigger and costs almost a million
dollars.

UNDER WAY
We fired up the diesel engine, and
with a touch of the bow and stern

thrusters, both standard on Cutwaters,

we eased away from the dock. The main
engine, a Yanmar 6BY2, 260 hp, started
easily without even a wisp of smoke.
This 183-cubic-inch, 694-pound,
common-rail engine ran smoothly and
quietly on startup and performed well
during our test.
We idled away from the dock at 670
rpm making 3.9 knots and burning 0.3
gallons of diesel per hour. The ability
of a vessel to proceed at a relatively slow
speed with precise control in crowded
marinas is very important, and the
Cutwaters, complete with bow and stern
thrusters, will perform that job very well.
At 1000 rpm, we made 5.4 knots
and sipped 0.6 gph. Even with the aft
door open, the noise level was only 67
decibels. At 2000 rpm, we burned 3 gph
and made 9 knots. At 3000 rpm, we
made 18.6 knots and burned 6.6 gph,
while 3500 rpm brought 23.1 knots with
a fuel burn of 10.6 gph. WOT, about
4080 rpm, had us scooting along at 28.2
knots and burning 13.4 gph. All speeds
were measured by GPS, and fuelconsumption figures were generated by
the engines onboard computer.
The vessel tracked well and
responded smartly and precisely to the
helm at all speeds. We laid beam on close
to a passing ferry wake, and the vessel
handled that very well. We then
pounded through the wake at speed,
and the 28-footer had no problem. In
tight turns, the vessel stuck well without
skidding or skipping. At all speeds and
under all our test conditions, the vessel
exhibited no bad habits.
While this is a good vessel, there are
a couple of improvements that could
easily be made. More handrails inside
would be welcome, and many cruisers
would like more fuel capacity 100
gallons is too limiting for such a good
cruising boat.
If you want a solid boat made by a
pedigreed U.S. builder, Cutwater is worth
a look. It handles well, is very
comfortable and is economical to
operate. At 9 knots (10.3 mph), it gets
3 mpg. It has plenty of space inside, a
good usable cockpit and has the speed

ETHANOL 101
WHAT YOU NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT
ETHANOL FUEL
(E5, E10, E15+)

4 MAIN PROBLEMS WITH ETHANOL-BLENDED FUEL

PROBLEM 1: DEBRIS IN FUEL
Gums rapidly form in the fuel tank and fuel delivery systems as ethanol fuels age.
However, ethanol is also a powerful solvent that will strip away and disperse this build
up back into the fuel as large, performance-robbing particles. This leads to clogged
filters, injectors and carburetors.

PROBLEM 4: ETHANOL CAUSES LOST POWER,

PERFORMANCE AND DECREASED FUEL ECONOMY
Ethanol fuel does not produce as much energy as traditional fuel. This results in
inefficient combustion, decreased performance, reduced throttle response and poor
fuel economy.

STAR TRON SOLUTION: Star Trons enzymes break down

debris into sub-micron sized particles that can be easily burned during the
combustion process, restoring full performance.

STAR TRON SOLUTION: Star Trons enzyme formula helps

to break apart large clusters of fuel molecules, creating more surface
area. This allows additional oxygen to react during combustion, which
results in a more complete burn of the fuel, improved fuel economy,
engine power, throttle response and reduced toxic emissions. Star Tron
removes carbon deposits, keeping your engine clean and operating at
peak performance.

PROBLEM 2: EXCESSIVE WATER IN THE FUEL

AND PHASE SEPARATION
Ethanol attracts moisture from the atmosphere, forming an ethanol/water solution
mixed in the gasoline. Ethanol-blended fuel fuel will naturally hold .5% water in
suspension, but when water levels exceed this threshold, or when the fuel cools
significantly, the water/ethanol mix drops out of suspension. This is phase separation.
Excessive water in the fuel tank causes engines to run rough, stall, and can lead to
internal damage to engine components. Ethanol provides a significant amount of the
fuels octane, so when the ethanol/water solution separates and drops to the bottom
of the tank, the remaining fuel is left without enough octane to properly operate the
engine. Additionally, the ethanol/water solution can become partially combustible,
which can lead to engine damage.
STAR TRON SOLUTION: Star Trons enzyme formula
reduces interfacial surface tension between fuel and water. The molecular
cluster size is greatly reduced, allowing more water to be dispersed
throughout the fuel. These sub-micron sized droplets are safely eliminated
as the engine operates. Star Tron treated fuel helps prevent phase
separation by allowing more water to be burned off than with untreated
fuel, drying out the tank and preventing water buildup.
PROBLEM 3: ETHANOL FUELS BREAK DOWN QUICKLY
Over a short period of time ethanol fuel begins to break down. As ethanol and
other components evaporate, the fuel loses octane and becomes stale. This causes
hard starts, pinging and engine knock, which robs your engine of power and can
cause damage.

STAR TRON SOLUTION: Star Tron is a powerful fuel stabilizer

which helps prevent fuel breakdown for up to two years. This results in
easier starts and prevents pinging and knocking. Star Tron improves
octane levels of sub-standard, non-spec or old fuel and in many cases can
rejuvenate stale fuel, restoring it to serviceable condition.

Star Tron is a unique, multifunctional fuel additive that addresses

all ethanol issues. Star Tron has been solving fuel problems
for boaters across the US since 2003. It will improve the
performance of: boats, cars, trucks, motorcycles, snowmobiles,
ATVs, PWCs, generators, lawn & garden equipment and all
other gas-powered engines. Star Tron is safe for use in all 2
and 4-cycle engines under all conditions, even in ethanol fuels.
Star Tron is an ideal all-season, all-purpose additive, and does
all this at one of the lowest costs of any fuel additive.
Be careful of what additive you use many contain alcohol.
Adding more alcohol to ethanol fuels can lead to engine
problems. Read the MSDS of any fuel additive before using it
with ethanol fuel. Star Tron does not contain any alcohol and
is 100% safe for use in all ethanol blends
from E5 to E85. Star Tron is easy to use,
effective and cannot be overdosed.

Jeff said, It was raining cats and rhinos with no visibility! We
had our two sons with us, ages 20 and 17, and we were having
dinner.
Only six boats at a time are allowed on the bay. And in the
fog, we couldnt see any other boats. We felt very much cut off,
when suddenly we heard banging on the side of our boat. Was
it a sea lion? A bear?

Jeff stuck his head outside the door to see a cold, wet and
miserable kayaker. He was bundled up like an Eskimo and had
lost his bearings. He was holding a laminated chart and asked,
Can you tell me where I am? He was in disbelief when we told
him he was in Glacier Bay. We directed him how to get out of

Diane and Virgil Landry who were aboard their Jeanneau 43 Rumbylowe.
We cruised to Smugglers Cove on Santa Cruz Island out of Channel

homegrown; he also sold homemade wine, olive oil, bread and various other delights. And the cheese? It was sheep cheese, from his
own sheep.
momeNt to Forget: Docking in the Mediterranean is
typically done by pointing the stern into the quay with a pickup
line on the bow. Everyones boat gets positioned toward a line of
the bows of other boats, packed tightly like sardines. This was
the docking procedure used at Korcula, Croatia.
At first look, there seemed to be no way we would fit. Then,
the local dockmaster started yelling at us in an incomprehensible
language and directing us to stern-in to what appeared to be an
impossible spot. Just before our stern was impaled by the bow
pulpit of another boat, local
boys sitting on the boats in
front of us started fending off
the boats that would be our
neighbors.
Once the boats were
squeezed in, the locals tied up
the dock lines (boaters are not
allowed to readjust them).
This left our stern 3 feet off the
quay to accommodate the
surge, so each boat gets
equipped with a 6-foot-long,
1-inch-by-12-inch plank. One
end of the plank is placed on
the stern and the other on the quay, so you can get on and off
your boat by walking the plank!
With the marina full, we were directed to a spot on the outside of the quay that opened to the sea. Before we could place
our plank, we were hit by a large surge caused by a boat coming
in too fast. The plank from our neighboring boat dropped from

I was in the oil business for 37 years, said Murray Dallas, owner of a new Mikelson 75
Sportfisher. So when people find out my boats name is Redneck, they say, It kinda suits ya. These days,
you can find Redneck in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, entertaining Dallass friends, family and clients. But only
a few months ago, it arrived in San Diego fresh off the boat, so to speak, as it was lifted off the delivery

Despite the year it took to build the boat in Taipei, its birthing
process was about to begin in the form of an involved commissioning
that delivered a bouncing baby Mikelson, coming in at almost 76
feet and 110,000 pounds.
Above from left: When a boat such as the
Mikelson 75 comes off the transport ship, it
still needs a lot of work, such as running the
electrical wiring and installing the electronics.
Below: A worker installs a new pole to raise
the hardtop roof 2 inches.

Dallas was anxious to have his baby

in Mexico for Christmas, so the project, headed up by commissioning
manager Paul Fecteau, was done in
record time. In just 45 days, hull #15
was transformed from a semi-custom
boat into a highly personalized fishing machine.
My advice to anyone going
through a commissioning is to keep
an open mind and work with the
builder, Dallas said.

FISHING FANTASY
There was no way Redneck wasnt going to be a fishermans fantasy.
Im not a fishing fanatic, Dallas said
laughing. But the guys I fish with certainly are. As the previous owner of
a pre-owned Mikelson Nomad 60,
Dallas had definite ideas about what
he wanted on his new boat. There
42 SEA / JUNE 2011

were factory-added options such as

the fully hard-enclosed flybridge,
extra-large hull portholes in the master and guest staterooms, and twin
wing controls aft so the captain can
monitor the action on either side of
the boat, especially when kite fishing. But the scope of the outfitting that
was undertaken stateside, which
included approximately 3,000 manhours, is what really morphed the boat
into Dallass vision.
The Mikelson 75 is a stretched version of the Tom Fexas-designed 70.
The base model is renowned for its
sleek lines, a slippery hull for good fuel
efficiency and a stable platform for fishing. But its also known for its potential to be highly personalized, so it was
a good choice for this owners project.
The boat arrived in Southern
California a bit salty from sea spray
and grimy from the ships stacks but
otherwise in good order. Because vessels arrive fairly bare-bones, the
usual commissioning time is slated for
60 to 90 days. Due to the upcoming
holidays, however, Redneck s extensive work took just over half that time.
Mikelsons crew added Wesmar stabilizers, four custom tuna tubes, 60

+Feature Commissioning_ +Sea Mexico Report 5/3/11 8:03 AM Page 43

rod holders and specialized tackle

drawers under the settee on the lanai,
aka upper aft cockpit. The ice machine
was plumbed to the cockpit fishbox,
but it was also configured so it could
fill 5-gallon buckets to distribute ice
to multiple Yeti coolers installed on
custom cradles around the boat.
The hardtop on the tower was raised
2 inches for better headroom, and a
tournament steering station was added.
A large stainless steel barbecue was
built into the tackle center in the cockpit, a helium tank for kite fishing was
installed, the bow railing was raised to
protect people who lean over it while
fishing and 37-foot triple spreader outriggers were added. Extra underwater
SeaView lights were specified to make
the boat glow at night, and a side-scanning sonar was added to provide a peek
at whats below the waterline. Just the
wiring that had to be strung through
all the custom stainless work was intimidating. The list of additions, changes
and tweaks filled a two-page spreadsheet with a font so small it required
a magnifying glass to read.
As Mikelsons PJ Sullivan said,
Some of the changes our owners come
up with are really good ideas. This boats

large portholes bring in extra natural

light below and can act as escape hatches, and the cool wing controls will probably stick for future builds.

KNOW YOUR OWNER,

LOVE YOUR OWNER
The most surprising thing about
boat building in general and the commissioning process specifically is how
hands-on it is and the amount of
owner involvement before the boat is
even built, Fecteau said. You have
to form a really close relationship with
your owner.
One of the most important elements
for Dallas was system redundancy and
backup. He wanted to go out fishing
for four days at a time and not have
to come back in no matter what.
For example, instead of one large watermaker, he ordered two smaller Village
Marine 800 gallon-per-day units in case
one malfunctions. There are also two
Winslow 10-man life rafts aboard,
although its unlikely there will be 20
people in an offshore party.
The focus on redundancy and safety is most visible in Dallass choice of
electronics. Redneck carries a full

Furuno NavNet system shown on two

large Nauticomp multifunction displays. There are two VHF radios, two
AIS systems and a completely standalone backup for charting and radar
from Garmin. The system is wired so
that you can watch a movie on the
marine electronics screen or see the
charts on one of the flat-screen LCD
TVs. With two TV satellite domes,
closed-circuit cameras all around the
vessel and a FLIR night-vision thermal-imaging camera, the electronics
alone came in around $200,000.
The closeness between owners,
boat builders, commissioning managers and captains has time to develop over the 15 months or so that it
takes to launch a new boat. Part of
the magic of a well-run commissioning is anticipating the owners needs.
Sometimes what is requested is not
exactly what is needed. Understanding
exactly how the owner expects to use
the boat and eliciting the right information is key.
These boats are highly sophisticated pieces of equipment. The owners dont just say Id like the Tommy
Bahama interior and see you in a
month, Fecteau said. Ive been

of continued on into the delivery,
Dallas said. I would have wanted
more hours on the boat before departure for Mexico, but we ran out of time.
So Paul [Fecteau] came with us on
the trip, and that was great.
Finally, there is the issue of cost.
Including a substantial investment in
electronics, Rednecks outfitting ran
approximately $800,000, which is
about 20 percent of the boats base price,
and thats roughly in the ballpark for
most new-boat outfitting, according to
Sullivan. Clear communications can
really keep the lid on costs.

HANDS-ON
TO THE END

doing this for 22 years, so Ive learned

how to ask the questions the right way
to get to the best solution in the shortest amount of time.

MANAGING
EXPECTATIONS
Mikelson commissions as many as
16, or as few as six, boats per year,
depending on the economy. Its models range from 43 to 75 feet, but the
commissioning process is not necessarily scalable with the size of the boat.
Although a 75-footer will generally
take more hours, other projects on
smaller boats such as engine and
drive system installations on the 43
can take almost as much time. Half
the battle is just in keeping things
44 SEA / JUNE 2011

clean and organized as multiple projects go on simultaneously.

Many people might underestimate
the focus on detail, Sullivan said. It
starts even before the boat is laid up
and doesnt end until after the sea trial,
when there is usually a bit more
tweaking. There are defined processes, checklists and checklists of
checklists. The coordination of the
installation of a lot of equipment is a
symphony with all the parts working
in harmony. Nothing gets more
detailed than the commissioning
work that is a project managers
dream, or nightmare, depending on
how its going.
Since it takes a year to build a boat,
accessories such as electronics might
become obsolete, and dinghy and davit
options change models and prices.
Our goal is to manage expectations
from the beginning, so we encourage
some of the choices to be made later,
Fecteau said. That way there are few
major changes.
Commissioning time is also used
to train the owner or his representa-

Redneck was delivered 1,100 miles

south to Mexico in about eight days
with time enough to fish off Magdalena
Bay and Cabo. With 2,800 gallons of
fuel, they did not refuel along the way.
The boat performed perfectly, and
there was no real difference between
how it ran before and after all the work
was done, Fecteau said. About 50
miles off Puerto Vallarta, we fished for
a while, and then Murray wanted to
go to a small beachside restaurant that
would cook the fish, so we cruised at
about 25 knots for a couple of hours
and had a great meal.
Thats the kind of flexibility Dallas
was looking for in his new vessel. The
ability to get to the fish and then to
get home fast was the reason he
upgraded to twin CAT C-32s with
1,825 hp. With his old boat that
cruised at 10 knots, we wouldnt have
been able to do that, Fecteau added.
Redneck has logged about 500
hours already, which is three times
what is typical in the same amount
of time on most other recreational
boats. That speaks to how much Dallas
uses and enjoys the boat and how well
the project went. I love the boat. We
were very hands-on with Mikelson,
and it turned out great.

SAILOR, SURVIVOR
Meet Gary Jobson

ing throughout the world and in 2010,

Jobson attended 23 Leukemia Cup
events all over the country.

President of US Sailing and

National Chairman of the Leukemia Cup

Sea: Who taught you to sail?

Jobson: My father got me sailing at

GARY JOBSON HAS BEEN SAILING since he was 6 years old. A New
Jersey native, his father got him into sailing, and by age 10, he was
sailing year-round, traveling and hitching rides with whoever was
willing to take him to the next race on the schedule.
This determination has stayed with
Jobson throughout his life, leading to
an Americas Cup victory in 1977 as
the lead tactician aboard Ted Turners
Courageous, an Emmy award for his
sports commentating on ESPN at the
1988 Olympics and US Sailings
Nathanael G. Herreshoff Award in
1999 for his contributions to sailing.
While determination has been a staple in Jobsons sailing career, his fight
with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in

2003 was one of his toughest battles,

bringing the world-renowned tactician
to focus solely on survival, or the
windward mark, as he put it.
Now, as president of US Sailing and
national chairman of the Leukemia
Cup Regatta since 1994, Jobson has
his sights set on making sailing great
in America, while raising millions for
the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Over the past 35 years, Jobson has
given more than 2,000 lectures on sail-

an early age, about 6. I did the summer junior program. But I did something unique at the time. When I got
to be about 10, I was one of these kids
sailing 12 months a year, which is hard
to do in New Jersey.
I was always available to go sail
with people. So the combination of
having sailed 12 months a year, and
having coaches and working with people, I started to get some skills at it,
which really helped me.
I look back, and its amazing I
pulled that off. I was 15, having to talk
people into driving my boat around
to different places so I could sail. I
didnt have my license yet, so I couldnt drive myself. I had to talk people

into it so I could keep sailing.

The first thing I had to figure out when

I came on was where are the problems? What needs fixing? And I found
that we do have some problems. And
then the question becomes, well now
you know the problem, whats the
solution?
The issue in sailing today: We need
better visibility for our sport; our handicap rules are very confusing, and we
can definitely upgrade that; and we
need easier access to the water,
which Southern California has some
good avenues for that.
Another key component is that the
yacht club is kind of our core institution in sailing, and we have to work
to engage them.

In around 1992 or 93, I was at ESPN

at a production meeting, and one of
the big cheeses came in and went
around asking everyone in the meeting what charities they were involved
in. It was kind of a real eye-opener
for me. And I thought about what charities I was involved with. I was
involved with junior sailing and the
Olympic team, but I wasnt really sure
I was involved with a charity.
Ironically, a couple weeks later I get
a phone call about a sailing regatta where
they were going to try and raise money
for leukemia research. They asked me
to help out, and I thought Oh perfect,
Ill help out a charity.
The next year, in 1994, we had eight
events, and we raised $200,000. This
got me thinking, OK forget about being
honorary chair; let me do this for a while
(and become national chairman).

How did you get started in the Lukemia

Cup Regatta?

You went from helping leukemia and

lymphoma victims to becoming a victim

As president of US Sailing, what have you

been working on?

yourself in 2003. What was that like?

It was the shock of my life. About 10

years after the first Leukemia Cup,
things are going well, and then I got
really sick. I was tired with big
blotches all over, losing weight and
coughing like crazy.
Its kind of ironic; here Ive been
for 10 years, working on this Leukemia
Cup project, and then suddenly Ive
got one of the blood cancers myself.
I battled for a long time, and went
through two bone marrow transplants and chemotherapy.
The thing that saved me was thinking about sailing. Every time I had a
setback and ended up back in the hospital for a bone marrow transplant,
I kept thinking about being in storms
or how you reached the windward
mark.
The ironic twist involved with all
of this, is that all of this money that
had been raised and the treatments
that I received werent available 20

years earlier, and they saved me. I

ended up being the recipient of all
of this research that we were raising
money for.
What are you most proud of with the
Leukemia Cup?

That it wasnt a one- or two-year flash

in the pan. I think weve got well over
$35 million raised, and we actually
have groups that look forward to doing
this every year. People come and go,
and chairmen come and go, but its
sustained itself.
Whats your new book about?

Its my own story. I talk about the disease and overcoming it, and its a little bit like the Lance Armstrong book.
I also talk about my sailing stories and
what it was like being Ted Turners
sidekick for all of those Americas Cups
and everything. Its my 17th book, but
my first time telling the story of my
recovery. Its called An American

Sailing Story.
Whats your favorite sailing memory?

Well, winning the Americas Cup is a

pretty good memory. I realized crossing the line, as the gun went off, that
my life would be different.
On a little more down-to-earth
scale, after doing bone marrow transplants and a year-and-a-half of treatments, I finally dusted my etchells off
and went and sailed a regatta. I
remember being so nervous at the
start. I started laughing at myself; Wait
a minute, Ive been doing this for over
50 years, and now Im nervous? Well,
we ended up winning that regatta, and
it felt really good. Before the race, all
my friends came by and welcomed
me back, saying they were glad to see
me at the regatta, but after we won
they were like, OK, why dont you
take some more time off.
What would you be doing if you werent
involved in sailing?

I dont know if Ive ever thought of

that. I certainly would have tried to
find a way to explore the world.
Whats on your bucket list of sailing?

I would like to go to every state in

America, take my cameraman with
me and do one unique sailing activity in all 50 states. Put together kind
of an indy film of sailing in America.
Focus on what one thing is unique
about sailing in California, or going
to a lake in Nevada or sailing up in
Alaska. That would be fun to do; like
a cross section of sailing in America.
Thats on my list.
Jobson lives in Annapolis, Md., and
has been married for 36 years to his
wife, Janice. They have three grown
daughters, Kristi, Ashleigh and
Brooke, all working on graduate
degrees. Everybody likes to sail, but
none of them likes racing. They all
do it to humor me, Jobson said.

NOMAR BUMPERS
Imagine NOT having the hassle of taking your
fenders ON and OFF every time you go in and out of
your slip. Are you tired of having your fenders
constantly riding up on the docks and getting your hull
marked up or worse? Paying for expensive hull rubouts or repairs? Tired of having your spouse or friends
jumping off a moving boat onto a shaky dock? Solo
your vessel? Large Boatsmall slip? We have great
news for you! HMS is now manufacturing a new style
of Dock Bumper. These new NON-MARRING bumpers
mount on your dock, making hassling with fenders a
thing of the past. Not only is the new style of bumper
extremely durable, it is also removable so you can take
it with you if you move. Now available in three
mounting formats to help protect your investment.

GET TO

Lake Berryessa features a morning glory spillway, which

resembles a giant cement funnel that keeps high water
from spilling over the dam.

Lake Berryessa
NAPA COUNTY
LOCATED 80 MILES NORTH of San
Francisco, Lake Berryessa is a boating haven featuring more than 1.6 million acre-feet of recreational waters
for the 1.5 million people who visit
the lake each year.
In the summer, Lake Berryessa
reaches temperatures up to 75 degrees
and is filled with both warm- and coldwater fish species including rainbow
trout, bass, catfish, crappie and bluegill.
Lake Berryessa is the reservoir for the
Solano Project, which provides flood
control protection to the city of Winters
and other downstream communities and
supplies water to the cities of Vacaville,
Suisun City, Vallejo and Fairfield.

Boating facilities at the lake include

boat launching at Chaparral Cove and
the Capell Valley Public Launch Ramp.
At the south end of the lake, Pleasure
Cove Marina offers houseboat, Jet Ski
and cabin rentals, tent and RV camping, a day-use picnic area, boat slips,
fueling service and a sewage pumpout
station; (707) 966-9600.
Markley Cove Resort, the closest
facility to Monticello Dam, offers a convenience store, food service, a marina,
boat and Jet Ski rentals, fueling service,
bait and fishing licenses; (707) 966-2134.

At full pool (440 feet mean sea level),

the lake is 23 miles long, 3 miles wide

and stores 1.6 million acre-feet of water

within the 165 miles of shoreline.

The origin of the name Berryessa

comes from two brothers, Jose Jesus
and Sisto Berryessa, who owned a significant portion of the land in and
around the town of Monticello.
Bilgee, the giant bilge pad, is the
lakes
Watershed Partnerships mascot, who educates boaters on the
importance of keeping clean bilge
pads on hand and always disposing
of used pads properly. Lake Berryessa
supplies drinking water to more than
428,000 people.

Carlsbad City Council Approves More Sand Replenishment

Carlsbad City Council members
recently agreed to an additional
$65,000 being allocated toward
sand replenishment on county
beaches.
The replenishment program is
part of the $21 million phase 2 project of the San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) planned
Regional Beach Sand Project
(RBSP), which was awarded $19.5
million in funding from the
California Department of Boating
and Waterways.
In May 2009, Carlsbad City
Council adopted a resolution stating that participating coastal cities
in the sand replenishment in San
Diego County would agree to share
the cost with SANDAG, covering 15

percent of the local cost. For

phase 1, Carlsbads share was
$41,936, and phase 2 costs are
$65,150. The total cost to
Carlsbad for the replenishment project has risen to
$180,000, which includes the
preparation costs for a feasibility study.
Phase 2, or RBSP II, is currently in the planning stages,
and the new sand is expected
to be dredged from offshore sites and
pumped onto the beaches by spring
2012.
So far, approximately 2.1 million
cubic yards of sand have been
added to 12 eroded San Diego
County beaches stretching from
Imperial Beach to Oceanside.

Since 2009, more than 2.1 million cubic

yards of sand have been added to San
Diego County beaches in need of
replenishment.

Carlsbad set aside $1.5 million

for RBSP II in 2007 and has approximately $1.3 million remaining to
contribute to future projects.

QUICK ESCAPE CALIFORNIA

Cat Harbor, accessible from the back side, or weather

side of the island, is the largest and most protected
natural harbor on Catalina.

QUICKEscape:
Catalina Back Side
There is only one shop when you
are escaping to the back side of
Catalina, the General Store (1) at Isthmus Harbor. It
is actually a great little shop that combines a grocery, liquor store, bait shop, hardware store and souvenir boutique under one roof. You can provision
your boat and buy a new sailing wardrobe in one
stop.

A Visit to
the Back Side
The back side of Catalina provides
rugged and uninhabited beauty.
STORY BY CAPT. JIM CASH
IT HAD BEEN ONE OF THOSE 80-DEGREE JANUARY DAYS the kind
that make everyone wish they lived in Southern California but
also drive up real estate prices. January is always my favorite
time to visit Santa Catalina Island; the harbors are empty, and
no reservations are needed at the restaurants.
However, this time we decided to
take a ride on the wild side and headed to the back side of Catalina.

GETTING THERE
We turned the bow toward the
north end of the island on a course
of 180 degrees magnetic from the

southern end of the Marina

del Rey breakwater. I wanted to make the 35-nauticalmile trip to Catalina Harbor,
the oft-forgotten stepsister
to Isthmus Harbor on the
more popular southeast side
of Two Harbors, before dark.

Next to the General Store is the famous

Harbor Reef Restaurant (2), home of
the famous Buffalo Milk, a sweet milkshake-like
concoction that can inhibit ones ability to walk. The
menu is varied, with excellent fresh fish and meat
dishes, including a Buffalo Burger.

EAT

Hiking trails are abundant and the vistas are

spectacular, especially on the west side as the sun
sets into the Pacific. Little Harbor (3) offers some
amazing snorkeling, and just as interesting is exploring by kayak.

EXPLORE

There are moorings at

Catalina Harbor (4),
and the prices vary with the time of year and size of
boat. We paid $23/night in January. There are no
moorings at Little Harbor, but there is a fairly protected anchorage. There is no place to buy fuel on
the back side of Catalina Island, so plan your fuel
consumption accordingly.

The wind had been light and the

Catalina passage relatively smooth,
and being a clear day there was no
problem staying clear of the container
ships making their way safely inside
their lanes to and from Los Angeles
and Long Beach harbors.
As we approach the northern tip of
the island from our angle, the appropriately named Finger Rock shows itself
gradually and gives us its welcoming
salute. When the sheer cliffs block the
outline of the mainland from view, you
find yourself believing you are the first
humans to ever see this land. Unlike
the southeast side, only a mile or so
away, there are no beaches, no moorings and no safe anchorages.

CAT HARBOR
We drove southeast paralleling
the coast with the gray-brown rocks
looming high over our heads. If you
did not know it was there, you could
easily miss the southwest facing
entrance to Cat Harbor, impossible to
see until you are almost past it. Yet,
after you turn in, it opens to the largest
and most protected natural harbor on
the island.
We slowly motored deep into the
harbor and called on channel 12 for
a mooring, which were all open,
except for those reserved for the liveaboard residents working on the
island year-round. Tethering our boat
to our assigned mooring close to the
dinghy dock, we prepared to go
ashore for the short walk over the isthmus to Harbor Reef Restaurant for
dinner, adult refreshments and a
friendly game of pool. Unlike the other
side, there are no shoreboats, but the
harbor patrol will, if not busy, give
you a lift to the dock. We opted to
inflate the dinghy and provide our own
shoreboat.
Dinner was marvelous. We had the
place to ourselves, the servers could
not have given us any more attention
and there was no waiting at the pool
table. We were treated like locals
rather than tourists, and before we
knew it, it was past our bedtime. You
do not know dark until you walk
back from Harbor Reef Restaurant to

QUICK ESCAPE CALIFORNIA

Cat Harbor on a chilly January night.

LITTLE HARBOR
Dawn was spectacular with the
robins-egg blue sky streaked with pinks
and reds. I was up early and enjoyed
the solitude on deck with a cup of coffee while soaking in the scenery.
Soon the rest of our crew was stirring, and preparations were made to
detach our mooring, venture back out
to the Pacific and continue down the
coast. Our next stop was Little Harbor,
about 6 nautical miles.
Unlike most of the other named
harbors on the popular side of the
island, there are no moorings here.
Though small, with room enough for
only a few boats at anchor, the reef
protects the anchorage, and you can
rest easy while listening to the gentle lapping of the waves and see the
occasional spume of spray from the
rocks.
If enjoying the sights and sounds
of the ocean is your thing, it does not
get any better than this. The facilities ashore are of the camping variety, with picnic tables, outhouse-style
toilets and a cold-water shower. Aside
from some kayaking in the cove, we
spent the day on board where we prepared dinner and enjoyed a spectacular Pacific sunset with cocktails and
a toast to one of the very best escapes
anyone could wish for.
In the morning, we discussed continuing south and circumnavigating
the island, stopping in Avalon, but
decided not to ruin the illusion of being
lone adventurers. Instead, we elected to lift anchor and reverse our
course, heading north and back to
Marina del Rey. All too soon, Finger
Rock was bidding us farewell as our
arrow-straight wake closed on its fading image from sight, but not from our
memory.

Boating with Pets

Creative solutions to keep cats and dogs safe on board
STORY AND PHOTOS BY NICOLE SOURS LARSON
LOOK AROUND MOST MARINAS and youll notice a legion of leashed
dogs out for walks with their owners.
But peer closer, and youll find other pets on boats, including
curious felines gazing from windows, watching birds and monitoring dockside activities.

yanked abruptly in a rescue attempt.

Instead, we began training them to a
harness and leash not very successfully in case of an emergency,
and looked for PFDs, or life jackets.

Spotting a resident cat aboard a

slipmates boat convinced my husband
and me that we could bring our own
cats Amy and Alexander on board. We
had begun searching for a larger boat,
a Viking 55, and realized it could easily accommodate our cats safety
needs.
Once the boat was shipped from
Florida to San Diego, we took on the
challenge of keeping our two curious
housecats inside, occupied and out of
trouble.

PETS AFLOAT

SCREENING PROCESS
Cat-proofing the new boat took
longer than expected a full four
months. To keep our cats aboard and
provide ventilation, we needed screens
for our hatches. The greatest challenge
was finding a vendor willing to make
custom screens for our fantail. Only
one San Diego dealer, Ken McKernan
of Park Place Screen & Glass Co.,
would consider working on a boat with
its irregular dimensions. His craftsmen produced well-fitting, extra-sturdy screens with cat-proof locks for
our sliding glass doors.
The ever-reliable Mike Gavin of
CA-14 SEA / JUNE 2011

Canvas Services on Shelter Island

designed creative fold-up canvas
screens for our pilothouse doors and
an innovative accordion screen barrier for our flying bridge.
Talking to other boaters with cats
reinforced our instinct to designate
one cabin, with an adjoining head and
litter box, to secure the cats while
under way. Now, with Amys growing
escape-artist expertise, were adding
exterior latches to keep them inside.
On board we duplicated everything
Amy and Alexander have at home
toys, cat tree/scratching post, multiple cat beds, two litter boxes, litter disposal bins, food and water bowls to
keep them entertained and comfortable. We purchased special carriers,
fleece-lined rolling Petotes quickly
renamed boatotes reserved only for
boating and pleasure, never vet visits.
As a result they love the boat.
For safety equipment, we positioned our telescoping retrieval net
by the fantail doors where a cat was
most likely to go overboard. Kari
Swanson, our Sunroad Marina office
manager, warned us against using collars, which can prove fatal to cats if

Good quality PFDs come in many

styles from different manufacturers,
ranging in price from $25 to $75,
according to size. All should have a
handle on the vests back, enabling
you to lift your pet back aboard with
a boathook.
Some PFDs are more suited to different shaped dogs, but none is made
specifically for cats. We selected yellow Ruff Wear Float Coats, recommended by Noahs Natural Pet Market
owner Mary Jansky, who chose this
for her boating dog, and had them tailored to fit by Torrey Pines Gliderports
wing doctor, Steve Stackdale. He
added panties, security belts and
buckles that even squirmy Amy cant
escape.
For his miniature poodle, Zeke, Capt.
Marty Fogel of San Diego prefers Paws
Aboards design, because it provides
flotation material under Zekes neck,
forcing his head up from the water.
San Diegan Doug Hokstad, who
takes his champion surfdog, Dozer, an
English bulldog, out on his boat,
prefers the New Zealand-designed Dfa, which also has under-the-neck

CA regional_SEA0211pC 5/2/11 8:41 AM Page 15

flotation.
Dozer is a big guy and not a water
dog, so a life vest is mandatory for his
safety and enjoyment, Hokstad said.
Unlike all the other vests, there are
no straps, buckles or velcro under the
neck, which makes a vest uncomfortable and, worse yet, provides no
flotation where it is most important.
The vest buckles from both sides, so
it is so easy to get Dozers robust body
into and out of the vest. The vest is
stable and does not pull and tug at
Dozer, making it very comfortable,
Hokstad says.

PETS ON BOARD
Getting a dog on board can present
challenges. Shooter, a German Shorthair
Pointer, lives with Mark and Stephanie
Hodlin of Riverside County. He loves
the boat but hesitates stepping from the
dock to board the swim platform of their
Mares Power Cat, which has cattleguardlike rungs at its edge. They solved the
problem by putting down a towel
Shooters special blue towel covering the rungs and giving him traction
on slippery fiberglass.
Once the towel is down, he feels
safe, Mark explained.

PETS OVERBOARD
Retrieving pets especially heavy
dogs once theyve fallen overboard

or gone swimming can require brute

strength, but two manufacturers offer
easy solutions, ranging in price from
about $200 to $400.
Paws Aboard owner Amber
McCrocklin developed the foldable
Doggy Boat Ladder, which attaches to
most boat swim ladders, in response
to her own need to get her large dog
back onto her 22-foot boat.
Theresa Marler, founder of Pup
Gear Corp., took a different route to
a solution for the same problem. She
developed a floating dog ramp, called
Doggydocks, which attaches to a
standard dock cleat or any flat surface. Doggydocks are available in standard and jumbo sizes for large dogs
and in a foldable version for onboard
storage.
For his two liveaboard cats, Fogel,
author of the childrens book The
Adventures of Noah and his Seacats,
describes teaching the kittens to climb
aboard by hanging burlap over the sides.
He taught the kittens how to swim
he calls it running in water by
dropping them over the bow and watching them swim to the stern to climb
aboard. Later he replaced the burlap
with a thick-diameter line.
I tied knots every foot or so and
hung it from a stern cleat so they could
climb on board. Theyd climb up the
line whenever theyd knock each

explains. Other boaters dangle carpeting strips overboard boats for cats
to climb.

SAFETY AT SEA
San Clemente-based Pet Safety
Lady Christina Selter, who teaches
classes nationally on pet safety on water
and land, reminds boaters to put down
carpeting or mats on their fiberglass
decks to give their pets feet traction
and to protect against hot surfaces. She
also recommends providing a shady
spot and extra water to prevent dehydration while keeping them away from
hazardous substances, such as antifreeze.
Selter emphasizes the importance
of taking a pet first-aid and CPR class
before bringing pets on board.
Be sure to equip your boat with a
pet first-aid kit, available from the
American Red Cross. Kits are sold for
about $30 to $35, or assemble your
own from lists provided online by the
Humane Society of the United States.

PET BOATING SAFETY PRODUCTS & RESOURCES

One of the best safety precautions you can take

to prevent the loss of a pet that may fall overboard
is to microchip your pet, which improves your
chances of recovery, especially if an ID tag is lost.
Many county animal services departments offer this
service, as do most vets, at a cost of $20 to $50.
Its important to keep your pets vaccinations
current and carry a copy of these certificates, especially for rabies, on board. If youre taking your
pet to Canada or Mexico, youll need to carry health
certificate copies. Pettravel.com offers full information online.
With advance planning and adequate provisioning, you can safely take your pets boating and
ensure they enjoy their adventures as much as
you do.

NO ORDINARY GAL FRIDAY

(HARBOR)
Meet Capt. Deb Fritz

When did you know the nautical life was

for you?

Lifelong boater and new Vessel Assist owner

WHEN DEB FRITZ WAS JUST A KID IN KENTUCKY, she exhibited a strongerthan-average grasp of one version of the American dream: She told her
parents that when she grew up she wanted to be a ski bum or a beach
bum. After a childhood spent on the rivers and lakes of Kentucky and
Ohio, Fritz promptly went into the ski industry. Her childhood dream
was coming true. When she was ready for a change a decade later, we
can only surmise that her parents pictured her trading in her skis for
flip-flops. Instead, she got into the boating industry, went to work for
Vessel Assist, got her captains license in 2008 and when the opportunity arose bought the Friday Harbor Vessel Assist operation.
Sea: When did the deal close?
Fritz: It closed Feb. 1, 2011. I always

enjoyed working for Vessel Assist; its

a great way to make a living.
Who else is part of the team?

Capt. Andrew DiRienzo, who is also

my husband, and Capt. Richard
Rodriguez. Capt. Rodriguez has been
doing this for nine or 10 seasons, and
he was my instructor for my captains
license.

Way back when I was a kid playing

on the Ohio River. I was born in
California but grew up in Kentucky.
We could walk down and play in the
river. I spent lots of time on boats.
When I was 16, I bought my first
boat.
What changes did you make in the
Vessel Assist operation?

We got faster, more reliable boats

outboards. We also brought a resortlike attitude about customer service.
Coming from the ski industry, we
learned a lot about that. We understand the resort attitude. People are
looking for that sort of attention in a
stressful situation.
Whats a normal day for you?

Theres a whole lot of boredom, and

then youre on. Sometimes we have
three or four calls in a row. We always

get a number of boats that run

aground. July 4 is a big day.
What are the most common calls you
answer?

Engines overheating. For us its common and an easy call. For the
boaters, its not always so easy. They
might be drifting, theres rocks everywhere and they have their family or
friends aboard.
What do people underestimate about
boating in the Northwest?

Rocks, currents and tides. They dont

realize how quickly they can drift if
theyre not paying attention. And the
tides here are huge, so theyll go back
over their track lines on their plotter
and run aground because the tide has
moved down 10 feet.
What is a memorable call youve
responded to?

We had a helicopter go down once.

See.....

It rolled over, but it had pontoons,

so it was suspended upside-down.
Our boats went 38 knots and made
it to the helicopter in 11.5 minutes.
Just 4 hours after hitting the
water, the helicopter was back to
Anacortes and being desalted. With
the speed of our boats, other vessels can be salvaged instead of being
lost. On a more general basis, its
when someone hits a rock, especially
if theyve abandoned the boat. Were
thinking of everything along the way:
Whats the tide doing? Is it coming
in? Going out? How much fuel did
the boat have aboard? Is it leaking?
Is the boat taking on water?
Recently, we had a 42-footer hit a
rock. It was taking on water. The owner
was thinking we could patch the hole
and pull him off the rock. We got there,
put a diver in the water and knew it
was bad. We had to put lift bags on it
and worry about the 500 gallons of
diesel he had aboard. He wasnt going

WHATS NEW
Everett Gets New Marina Facility
Waterfront Center, a retail, commercial and office facility in the Port
of Everett Marina District, opened
recently with a restaurant, marina
offices, and boat repair and marine
retail shops. The center was created
through a combination of remodeling the former Marine Spill Response
Center and adding 15,000 square feet

of office and restaurant space.

The marine service shops utilize
an environmentally friendly boatyard,
which has a haulout and washdown
facility served by 35- and 75-ton
Travelifts. At press time, nine tenants
occupied the 83,000-square-foot building, with 30,000 square feet still available for lease. For more information,

QUICK ESCAPE PACIFIC NW

QUICKEscape:
Sucia Island
Enjoy 6 miles of easy hiking,
with gorgeous views of
Orcas Island. Our favorite is the hike from
Fossil Bay to Echo Bay (1). If you have a dog,
keep it on a leash. A few years ago, two offleash dogs killed a dog on a leash, so the
park ranger is very strict, and rightly so.

Deane Hislop

FUN

Ewing Cove (2), at the end

of Echo Bay, is the place
for scuba diving. They intentionally
sunk three boats to make it a fun dive.
Fishing on the reef (3) between Orcas
and Sucia can be great. Lots of boaters
also put down crab pots near the
mouth of the bay. One year we got a
crab pot line wrapped around the propeller, so be careful.

Bring food with you or catch it

BY CANDY TEMPLE
ONE OF OUR FAVORITE ESCAPES is Sucia Island, a Washington state
marine park located just north of Orcas Island in the San Juans.
Accessible only by boat, Sucia is extremely popular, especially in
the summer, because (for my husband, John, and I) it is one of
the loveliest spots in the world. The beaches are easy to get to,
and there are camping facilities, hiking trails, fabulous rock formations (especially in Fox Cove, a short dinghy ride and hike from
Fossil Bay) and the most beautiful sunsets. Among the rock formations (created over the millennia by waves hitting the sandstone), the most popular is the one that looks like a toadstool, atop
which many boaters have their photos taken.

PNW-10 SEA / JUNE 2011

There is a
water faucet, campsites, barbecues and restrooms
on shore but no power. Buoys and campsites require a fee. There are other small
bays around the island, two of which are
Snoring Bay (4) and Shallow Bay (5).
Supposedly, Snoring Bay got its name
when a park ranger was found sleeping.

If you have a smaller boat and want to camp, you may

need to reserve a spot in the summer. The last time we
were there, we saw some amazing setups, including actual enclosed beds and card rooms.
Sucia is a great spot for everyone, and most Northwest
boaters have it on their summer itinerary. Go, enjoy and
pretend youre a kid again. I have no doubt you will see
what I mean about the sunset and the Alice in
Wonderland-like rock formations.

though you can also see it from the anchorage. We have

visited Sucia almost every year since we got our first boat
up here, in 1987.
There are two main bays, Fossil and Echo, where you
will find buoys, which are the best mooring option. To
snag a buoy, youd better arrive around noon, when people may be leaving. It is possible to anchor, which weve
done several times; however, its not easy to get a spot.
There is also a small dock, which is fine at high tide or
if your boat has an extremely shallow draft. We went up
there in our 32-foot Bayliner for Easter weekend one year
and were very happy to find a spot on the inside of the
dock, as we had my elderly mother with us and wanted
to make it easier for her to get ashore. We were not as
happy when we left and churned up the bottom with the
prop. Watch the tides, and use caution when docking,
especially on the inside.
It has become a tradition on our 21-footer, 32-footer, and our 39-footer, a Carver weve had for 16 years
now to take guests to Sucia for steak at sunset, and
unlike when we had our 21-footer, no one has to camp.

Sucia isnt going to provide a lot of modern amenities or

any, really but what it lacks in convenience it makes up
for in scenery, sunsets, friendly boaters and accessibility.

Sucia Island actually consists of four

islands, Sucia, Little Sucia, Ewing and

the Clusters. There are also three private islands,

Log Dodging in
the Great Northwest
A log can ruin your day.
Watch out for them.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOHN BEATTY

The Army Corps of Engineers does its best to

clear busy waterways of logs with barge
cranes such as Seahorse.

HERE IS ONE KIND OF LOG: SHIPS LOG, Stardate

52152.6. Weve set up a blockade around Derna. So
far, no Romulan ships have tried to challenge us.
The other kind of log is one that is more dangerous
to Northwest boaters than a Romulan. It is a big piece of

wood floating somewhere waiting to bang up your hull

or damage the running gear.
The Pacific Northwest and the Inside Passage to Alaska
have no shortage of sources for potentially damaging logs
The most prevalent are the following:
Violent storms break up docks and wharves, which
then float free with whatever current they find.
Loggers still harvest timber along the shore in Washington
and British Columbia. In these remote areas, there are few
roads for log trucks. It is easier to float the logs to the sawmill
in booms (large rafts) and on special log barges. Some logs
slip out and float on their own. Entire rafts can break up
and send logs all over the place.
Bank erosion along the shoreline and on rivers moving toward the sea causes entire trees to fall and float
into the saltwater inlets and bays. There they float until
wind and high tide push them onto the beach.
Radar might paint a log on a mirror-calm day, but rough
water will hide it from view, so constantly watching for logs
ahead is the only way to miss them. Going slowly helps the
captain and crew see and avoid any floating objects especially logs. Two sets of eyes are always better than one, and

NW regional3_SEA0111pN 5/2/11 9:22 AM Page 15

Logs will fall off barges steaming toward ports such as

Port McNeill, B.C., and birds can be a good indicator of
floating logs ahead.

because logs are almost impossible to see in the dark,

many pleasureboaters wont travel at night.
Just after a very high tide, be especially vigilant in searching ahead. All the logs that float off
the beaches will be out there waiting to get in
your way. If you spot three or four seabirds neatly lined up on the water, take heed they could
be in line for American Idol auditions, or they
might be resting on a log.
So, is anyone doing anything about these logs?
In the U.S. and Canada, the respective Coast Guards
broadcast reports when they are notified by others
about floating hazards such as drifting docks and
deadheads. (Deadheads are logs that are floating vertically because one end has sunk.)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its contractors have self-propelled barge cranes that pick
up logs that pose a danger. The government-sponsored log cleanup is concentrated mainly on populated areas, however. Earlier this year, I got to go along
with the crew of Seahorse, a self-propelled barge crane.
This ship was filling in for Puget, a similar craft that is

expecting us and had a collection of

large logs and pieces of derelict dock
gathered up and tied off to a buoy in
the harbor. Seahorses deck crew, on
loan from the Corps of Engineers, took
off in a skiff and pulled the collection
of flotsam over to Seahorse. The crane
lifted each log on board, where it was
cut to fit across the deck.
We cleaned up that harbor and took
the logs back to the locks where the
logs are hauled to a landfill or to mills
to be hog fuel. Some wood-processing mills burn wood and wood chips
for heat and to produce electricity.
The Army Corps of Engineers does
a lot to remove logs from busy harbors
and waterways, but no one is pulling
logs out of the way in the remote areas
boaters visit to get away from it all, so
you have to be careful out there, especially right after a very high tide.

Coast Guard) are the same as for other incidents. Youre required to file a boating accident report if damage to the boat or property exceeds $2,000 or the boat is a complete loss, or if someone dies, disappears
or needs medical care.
In addition, according to the Coast
Guard, boat operators or owners must
submit:
1. Accident reports within 48 hours of
an occurrence if:
a. A person dies within 24 hours of
the occurrence; or
b. A person requires medical
treatment beyond first aid; or
c. A person disappears from the
vessel.
2. Accident reports within 10 days of an
occurrence if there is damage to the vessel/property only.
The minimum reporting requirements are set by federal regulation, but
states are allowed to have more stringent
requirements. For example, some states
have a lower threshold for reporting
damage to vessels and other property.

Whats the biggest difference between buying a

boat today and buying one three years ago? What
has that meant for buyers good or bad?

The truth is that the economy has affected the

boating industry. It is my opinion that most valuations have decreased by about 30 percent. With that
said, the boating marketplace is rather unique:
Boats are not necessities, rather one of the supreme wants.
Most sellers have elevated themselves to a financial position to be able to afford this luxury. Most buyers, in turn,
have also elevated themselves to this financial position.
Therefore, most buyers and sellers are in the same league.

Please send your questions to:
Ask a Broker, 17782 Cowan, Ste. A, Irvine,
CA 92614 or editorial@seamag.com (please
indicate Ask a Broker in the subject line).

The number-one reason for a seller to sell his boat

is that he is not using the boat enough to justify the
expenditures of boat ownership.
With the rare exception of someone who is financially
depressed to a point that selling his boat becomes a
necessity, sellers arent offloading their boats for 50 cents
on the dollar, as many buyers would like to believe. Boats
are subject to the law of supply and demand. Boats that
are popular due to brand name or other desirable attributes
tend to be more in demand and may not suffer as much
depreciation in valuation.
The really good deals are not as plentiful as many
people would believe, and a buyers offer may be influenced
more by timing which can be everything. I often tell
buyers that a seller may be a different seller on any given
day, and his motivation can change on a daily basis;
therefore, the timing of the offer is instrumental as to what
the seller may accept.
The other factor about the seemingly great deals is
that oftentimes these boats are not as desirable due to
make, model, age, poor condition, lack of equipment, etc.
Are these bargain boats really such good deals?
