SEA / OCTOBER 2010

After accomplishing his education-al mission, and setting a record forthe fastest circumnavigation in amotor vessel, just under 61 days,Bethune sold Earthrace (see From theHelm, July 2009). The new ownereponymously named it Ady Gil, putBethune in charge of his old boat anddispatched him to join the SeaShepherd Conservation Society inAntarctica, where Bethune took on anew role: protecting whales fromJapanese whalers. Bethune joined PaulWatson, captain of the MV Steve Irwinand head of Sea Shepherd, who issomewhat of a celebrity in his ownright for the Animal Planet series“Whale Wars.”

I’ve watched a few episodes of theshow, and I’m struck by two things.First, by how unprepared and inex-perienced Capt. Watson’s all-volunteercrew is. In one episode, they nearlylose a RIB twice.

Second, that the Japanese whalers,despite all of the harassing by SeaShepherd, methodically kill off onewhale after another while Capt.Watson and his group make sortie aftersortie against the faster whalers.

Bethune joins the group in theSouthern Ocean Whale Sanctuary andsquares off with one whaler, whichresults in a collision. Ady Gil, withher carbon fiber-and-glass construc-tion, is no match for the steelJapanese ship, is mortally damagedand goes to the bottom, leaving

everyone pointing fingers as to whohit whom.

Several weeks later, Bethune takeson the same whaling ship and boardsit. By one account, Bethune is attempt-ing to make a citizen’s arrest of theJapanese captain. The crew of thewhaler takes Bethune into custody andturns him over to the Japanese CoastGuard. He’s tried in Japan, gets a sus-pended sentence and is sent back toNew Zealand.

Decades ago, most nations of theworld got together and banned thekilling of whales. It’s a highly emo-tional issue for both sides and a par-ticularly profitable endeavor forwhalers — a minke whale, forinstance, can be worth $100,000.Three of the abstainers from thattreaty, Japan, Norway and Iceland, areactively engaged in killing whales, asmany as 2,000 per year. Japan claimsit is killing whales for research pur-poses, a use excepted under the treaty.

You can’t fault Watson for havingthe courage of his convictions, nor hismilitant followers for placing them-selves in harm’s way, but is this sav-ing whales or merely polarizing thetwo sides? Could winning over theworld’s public support do more in thelong run to protect threatened andendangered species than engaging inopen warfare?

I FIRST MET PETE BETHUNE a couple of years agowhen he was just a regular guy from New Zealandwho was motoring around the world, hell bent ona mission: to demonstrate the benefits of alter-native fuels such as biodiesel, and educate thepublic.To that end, he built the most surreal-look-ing motor vessel I had ever seen, Earthrace. Itlooked more like a praying mantis or a spaceshipthan an ocean-going motoryacht.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

PROVEN PATH TO A CAPTAIN’SLICENSEThe August 2010 issue carried a fea-ture article titled “The Captain’sLicense: Are You Ready for One?”(p. CA-12), which I found to be a fan-tastic, yet brief, description of the pro-cess. I would like the opportunity tocontribute several comments thatyour readers may find of interest.

First, on the advice of DennisDegner of Columbia Pacific Maritimein Portland, Ore., I applied for thelicense prior to taking the licensingcourse and exam. The advantage ofthis process is that the proposedlicensee establishes that he is eligi-ble for licensure (all preliminary cre-dentials, background check, etc., areacceptable), and it provides a one-year window to complete the train-ing and exam. This window permitsthe applicant to schedule the com-pletion as early or late (within the

year) as possible.Second, it should be emphasized

that the course (e.g., ColumbiaPacific Maritime) can be broken intosegments by instructor/studentagreement. I had several classmateswho, like myself, had to take the pro-gram in sections over a period ofmany months. Setting aside a com-plete block of time is not necessary;just get it done.

Third, there are many reasons totake the course, pass the exam andobtain a license. Not all of these rea-sons are occupational. Some boaters,like myself, became licensed to notonly achieve greater knowledge butto have a feeling of confidence thatthey have achieved a professionalgoal.

Last but not least, you are nevertoo old. Never too old to learn andbecome a licensed captain. I rec-ommend that prospective appli-

cants shop for the program that fitstheir needs and has an instructorwho is intent on teaching, not justexposing the applicant to therequired information. I’m a 70-plus-year-old, cancer-surviving boaterwho obtained his license for personalknowledge and gratification, so thereis no excuse — only a lack of com-mitment.

CAPT. CHUCK ROSEBOULDER, COLO.

PUT THE KIDS IN PFDS“Secrets of the Sea Trial” (May 2010,p. 48) is a great article, but on page52 the happy family is enjoying thebridge with two kids, one of whomshould (must) be wearing a PFD —and probably the sister, too. Not agreat image for boat safety and CoastGuard compliance.

+SEA LettersOct10 9/1/10 2:47 PM Page 8

Jim, thank you for pointing out ouroversight. Let this serve as areminder to parents to alwayshave your children protected byPFDs while under way.

PUTTING THE CLAMPS ON DRIPSI can relate to Deane Hislop’s arti-cle about leaky hatches (“Repairinga Leaky Hatch,” June 2010, p. 20).We had a new boat, and it leakedand leaked. In the middle of the

night, it would drip on myhead. After months, I fig-ured it out. Any time wetook hot showers at night,the condensation wouldhead to the hatch, and at3 or 4 a.m. it would beginto drip. Darn those tightnew boats.

DAVID HAGENSENT VIA E-MAIL

David, we’re glad you got your prob-lem drip figured out. Let us knowhow those cold showers at night areworking out for you.

AND ONE MORE THOUGHT…In regard to double-nut shaft propnuts (Letters From Our Readers,

August 2010, p. 8), this has beenargued for longer than my 50-plusyears in this business. Simply tossthe thin nut in a recycle bin, sendthe thick nut to a machine shop tomill slots into it — making it intoa castellated nut — install it on theshaft, drill shaft through slots,install a stainless cotter pin and turnits ends in on itself. It will nevercome off.

JIM GARRODSEATTLE

Jim, maybe this will settle the issueonce and for all. Though, if thedebate’s been raging for your 50-plus years in the biz, we doubt it.We sincerely appreciate your inputon the matter.

In the cruising world, there are two types ofmariners: the serious skipper who relishes hands-on opportunities,constantly tinkering in the engine room, and the lazy Sunday boater.This breed would rather spend time bobbing along, slathered in

sunscreen, without contemplating exhaust manifolds or zincs. Island Packet’s PY Cruiserwas created specifically for the carefree crowd. Everything, from its hose-off exterior surfaces to its wide sidedecks, was devised to make life on board easier.

On the main deck, a centerline helm console in the aft wheelhouse offers excep-tional maneuvering, and matching helm seats swivel towardan entertainment-ready L-shaped settee and cockpit table.Operating the PY becomes even more effortless with an option-al autopilot. To cut down on maintenance, the deckhouse soleand wood details are made of Lyptus, a more manageable alter-native to teak. Just forward of the wheelhouse, a second cock-pit is situated on the trawler’s recessed foredeck, which is sur-rounded by continuous handrails that extend the length ofthe deck for extra safety.

When naval architect Bob Johnson concocted the 41-foot-er’s design, he made the most of every nook and cranny. Theroomy forward master stateroom is equipped with an impres-

• The Necker Nymph is a high-performance aero sub that usespositive buoyancy to dive with its crew of three.

DeepFlight of FancyLeave it to captain of industry Sir Richard Branson

to pay more than a half-million bucks for a watertoy. But we have to admit, the man has good taste. The first of its kind, Branson’sNecker Nymph is a high-performance DeepFlight aero submarine that uses a new-ish technology called positive buoyancy to dive into the deep. The 15-foot open-cockpit sub cruises at 2-5 knots with three people on board, allowing for panoram-ic views of underwater splendor. Necker Nymph was added to his menagerie ofopulent playthings, which includes Necker Belle, a 105-foot sailing catamaran, atthe Briton’s private island resort,Necker Island, in the British Virgin archipelago.Youcan rent the winged sub on a weekly basis for a mere $25,000; just tack it on toyour $88,000 bill for a weeklong Necker Belle charter.

sive 6 feet, 9 inches of headroom, aspacious berth and private access tothe single adjoining head. Amidships,the PY’s galley is furnished with dualFrigoboat systems and a Force10range. Guests are accommodated byan aft cabin to starboard with twinberths.

The self-righting semi-displace-ment hull incorporates Island Packet’sFull Foil Keel, earning a Category Aclassification from Lloyd’s Register —uncommon for a trawler. The designalso delivers outstanding fuel econo-my, with drag-reduction and bowrise-decreasing techniques that keep thePY level.

Seal or No SealSeeing a cute, cuddly baby sealall by itself might kick your res-cue instinct into high gear, butthe best thing you can do is let it be.It’s normal for seal pups to be alone onbeaches while mothers hunt for food, but peo-ple and pets that interfere will deter mom from returning. It’s also illegalto disturb marine mammals, and violators could face fines and prosecu-tion. Always stay at least 50 yards away, and if you’re concerned about ananimal, call your local Marine Mammal Stranding Network chapter at (800)853-1964 in the Pacific Northwest and (562) 980-4017 in California.

Did You Know ?The caulking around onboard fittings is designed to keep moisture from reach-

ing your boat’s core, but it doesn’t last forever. Estimates of how long a water-tight seal can last go as high as 20 years, but 10 years is a safer bet. If you’reunsure how old your sealant is,or if you suspect delamination,ask a pro to checkwith a moisture meter.

A SECOND WINDAS THE BOAT-BUILDING MARKET CONTINUES TOstrengthen, some builders have gotten a little creativein their endeavors. To create new jobs, boost its incomeand make use of empty space, Vancouver, Wash.-basedChristensen Shipyards, a custom mega-yacht builder,launched subsidiary Renewable Energy CompositeSolutions to break into the wind and wave turbineindustry. RECS employs existing yacht-building equip-ment along with manufacturing techniques once pio-neered by the shipyard in its turbine production line.The idea to diversify came from a federal energy pro-gram incentive, which provided Christensen with a $1million stimulus grant.

The Rundown onRaft-up Fenders

To protect hulls while raft-ing up, the best approach isto place fenders on the boatthat is anchored first; the

stabilized vessel should also bethe largest. Hang midsize fend-ers at the widest point of thebeam and two each fore and aft.

Arecent study at Cornell Universityfound that a shopper’s outlook onnew purchases can be the difference

between a fleeting moment of joy and last-ing bliss. Viewing a potential buy as justanother material possession will only bringshort-term happiness,while factoring in thefuture experiences the purchase will provideevokes a deeper sense of fulfillment.

For instance, if you head to the brokerand think, “I’m spending my hard-earneddough on a new boat,” your satisfaction islikely to wane sooner than later.You’ll be des-tined for enduring contentment, however,

if you head into the deal thinking,“I can’t wait to invest in the hours of fishing, enter-taining and cruising I will spend with my family!”

An ad offering Catalyst for whatBill considered a “surprisingly low”price set the venture in motion.Despite not being able to afford planetickets for a test-drive, he didn’t seetheir lack of funds as a deal breaker.After a couple of years of serious bud-

get cuts, the Baileys became the own-ers of the 70-plus-year-old wood boatin 2005.

Built in 1932, Catalyst was theUniversity of Washington’s first-everoceanographic research vessel and wasused to study Puget Sound’s waterquality. She was designed with inputfrom scientists who’d conducted expe-ditions aboard ill-suited converted fish-ing boats, and, as a result, Catalystwas the most cutting-edge researchwatercraft of her day.

The craft was requisitioned by theCoast Guard during World War II. Afterthe war, her decks were reworked tocarry 60 tons of tungsten ore, freight,and workers up and down the InsidePassage for a mining company. To cre-ate an aft cargo hold, the deckhousewas moved forward 6 feet and the

boat’s front end was extended. Theoriginal forward pilothouse was elim-inated, and a new one was built atopthe new deckhouse.

During the next 40 years, Catalystserved as a floating dentistry office anda liveaboard cruiser, among otherthings, and underwent several refitsat the behest of her numerous own-ers. Regardless of many upgrades andtweaks, none of her captains daredtouch the original heavy-dutyWashington diesel. It’s one of 10Washingtons still in operation, and theonly known 6-cylinder diesel ever builtwith an 8-inch bore and 10-inchstroke. Since the Baileys took thehelm, they’ve finished a completeoverhaul and rebuilt the planetaryreverse gear. Pyrometers constantlymonitor each cylinder to ensure evenloading, and 125 places must be hand-oiled every two hours when under way.

The Baileys have done their shareof remodeling, extending the pilot-house, expanding from two heads tofive, and moving two cabins to pro-vide access to the newly replaced star-board bilge stringers. They also addeda 15 kw genset and equipment to sat-isfy the Coast Guard’s five-star safe-ty rating.

Today, Pacific Catalyst operatesas an Alaskan charter vessel, return-ing to her oceanographic roots, butwith awestruck tourists aboard insteadof inquisitive scientists. Based inFriday Harbor, the 75-footer plies thecoast of southeastern Alaska, givingher passengers up-close-and-person-al views of glaciers, whales, bears anduntouched timberland.

YOU COULD SAY BUYING Pacific Catalyst was an experiment goneright for Bill and Shannon Bailey. The couple had to sell their home— a house they’d designed themselves and spent 15 years building— and dissolve their custom home-building business in order tobuy the vintage vessel and existing charter business. Although theypresented a united front, the decision was a little lopsided. You see,Bill suffers from Don Quixote Syndrome; Shannon suffers from WomanWho Married Man with Don Quixote Syndrome.

valuable than their weight in gold. The first treasure was two expe-

rienced ship’s navigators or pilots whohad worked on the Manila galleons.He could torture them to reveal theirknowledge. The second was a trunkfull of charts mapping the galleons’entire route from the Philippines tothe Americas. Drake wouldn’t needto torture the men very much. Third,he discovered the pilots’ letters detail-ing a secret landfall for the very nextManila galleon (Cabo San Lucas) andits secret arrival date (November orDecember). Aargh! Avast on the tor-ture, maties.

Drake was now in a hurry to inter-cept a treasure ship. But before hisoffshore passage from Nicaragua toCabo San Lucas, Drake needed to findprovisions — fresh meat, potable waterand firewood.

On April 10, using his newlyacquired Spanish charts, Drake sailedinto the small natural harbor ofHuatulco in what is now southernMexico. His maps said it had garri-son supplies. Instead of a fully provi-sioned garrison, however, Drakeencountered only a handful of Spanishfarmers with hoes, plus 400 hungrynatives living in thatched huts on thebeach.

Drake would return to Huatulcomany times, but on that first visit,Spanish history recorded that ElDraque scoured the countrysideunsuccessfully for any cattle, grain andwater he could find, but that insteadhe “carried off … the entire supplyof Indian women’s blouses.”

Today, Huatulco’s 200-slip MarinaChahue is an important cruising stopfor hundreds of yachts crossing thewindy Gulf of Tehuantepec. Huatulcohas dozens of restaurants and hotels,and each year, thousands of cruise-ship passengers disembark atHuatulco’s big pier for a few hours inorder to buy a few — guess what —“huipiles” (pronounced “we-PEEL-ayz”), the colorful women’s blousesstill woven by Mayan craftsmen.

Of course, during 2005 some of theswankier new marinas in Mexico,Costa Rica and Panama began charg-ing “bandito prices,” but thanks to theworldwide economic downturn,they’ve slashed their slip fees almostin half. Diesel is selling for less than$2.50 per gallon at many Mexican fueldocks, and lots of waterfront restau-rants and merchants are offering “two-fer” discounts. With prices so low, wegringos may start to feel like hordesof invading pirates.

Here’s a quick look at four realpirates who plied the waters fromCedros Island down to Cabo SanLucas, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta,Manzanillo, Acapulco and Huatulco— just to give you some costume ideasand piratical talking points.

SIR FRANCIS DRAKEDrake was one of the first European

THOMAS CAVENDISHCavendish arrived with thenext wave of Englishmen whoset their sights on New Spain’sPacific holdings. He was bornto a good family under QueenElizabeth’s patronage. Butyoung Tom evidently enjoyedthe good life a bit too much.He spent his family fortunebefore age 20, it is said, thendecided piracy was the quickest pathto riches and royal redemption. Sohe set off to hound Elizabeth’s enemy,the Spanish galleons trading unhin-dered in the Pacific Ocean.

After an unsuccessful August 1587

raid on Huatulco —Drake had beaten himto the punch —Cavendish sacked andscavenged his way upthe coast. It took histwo-boat fleet five daysto cross the southernSea of Cortez, wherethey were reported to

have dropped anchor inSt. Luke Bay (better known today asCabo San Lucas) on Oct. 24.

For three long weeks, the sailorskept lookouts perched atop the rockyspires (the famous landmark Arches),allowing some meager vessels to pass

south while waiting for worthier prey.Finally, they spotted Santa Ana, amagnificent Spanish galleon approach-ing from the northwest. Cavendishattacked with his flagship, Desire. Heaimed to salvage the valuable Spanishship, perhaps to keep it for his own,or to ransom it back to the Spanishcrown. But the Spanish marinesfought valiantly, trying to protect theirmost important passenger, the famousexplorer Sebastian Vizcaíno, whowas aboard en route to Acapulco inorder to be commissioned as Mexico’snext generalissimo — second only tothe viceroy.

Cavendish’s smaller ship had tomake four bloody attacks on SantaAna, his cannons blasting away, final-ly felling the proud galleon’s spars. Inthe close combat that ensued, manyin the Spanish crew were killed.Finally, Santa Ana surrendered.

Towed into Bahia San Lucas, thedamaged prize ship yielded her inven-tory of Chinese silks, perfumes, spices,

porcelains, wines, provisions, and a sur-prisingly large fortune in gold coinsand pearls. While the pirates of Desirewere tallying their booty, nobody onSanta Ana mentioned Vizcaíno wasaboard, for fear he would be put inchains, tortured and ransomed.

History reports that Cavendishabandoned the Spanish passengers tostarve on the beach, but before hesailed away, he left them a few smallarms to protect themselves from thenatives of Cabo San Lucas.

DOUBLE DUTCHDutch raiders in New Spain were

primarily dropouts from Holland’spowerful merchant marine fleet, butthey were known and feared as“Pichilingues” — a word found on 16thcentury charts marking pirate hideouts.

Admiral Joris van Speilbergen wasa Dutch pirate known for scooping uphigh-born Spaniards from among thepoor colonists he found ashore andholding them for ransom aboard hisheavily armed fleet of ships. InOctober 1614, van Speilbergen bold-ly sailed into Acapulco — the Pacificcapital of New Spain — right underthe nose of Fort San Diego’s cannon.Instead of attacking, the Dutchmanoffered to exchange a boatload ofhostages for a boatload of provisions. The viceroy consented, but while theexchange took place, he sent secretorders for every Spanish ship to sailimmediately for Cedros Island, apoint nearly 1,200 nautical miles upthe coast. Why? The viceroy hadlearned that van Speilbergen intend-ed to capture two Spanish treasuregalleons that were en route to CedrosIsland. The crews would be exhaust-ed after crossing from the Philippines— a crafty pirate tactic.

The viceroy also sent GeneralVizcaíno with 200 soldiers to guard thewells at Salagua, the next watering holeup the coast. At Salugua, Vizcaíno andthe Dutch pirates traded volleys untilboth ran out of powder. VanSpeilbergen claimed victory, but heabandoned his plan for Cedros Islandand quit New Spain forever.

Another Dutch pirate was HugoSchapenham and his dreaded NassauFleet — up to 20 ships large and small.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM

But by 1620, his ships had been oper-ating so far from friendly ports for solong that constant hunger, thirst andscurvy had ravaged most of thepirates. In 1624, Schapenhamattacked Acapulco, his mighty gunsoverpowering the Spanish fort. But thistime the skinny Dutch piratesdemanded provisions, not gold. TheSpanish claimed to have no food andwater themselves, but they offered

coin. Schapenham appeared so dis-couraged that he led his main fleetout of the harbor in ragged disarray.

Today, Acapulco is a thrivingresort port with a yacht club, mari-na, navy base and a fine museum ofpirate history in Fort San Diego.

These pirate tales are expandedupon in Peter Gerard’s book, “Piratesof New Spain,” published by DoverPublications of New York.

� Check the fuel system: With all thetalk of changes in gasoline and theeffects of ethanol, diesel owners mayfeel like they don’t have to worry abouttheir fuel’s condition, but that would beunwise. Not only does diesel breakdown over time (although much slowerthan gasoline), it is subject to its ownunique storage problems.

Diesel tanks on boats routinely havewater in them. The open tank ventsallow moist air into the tank, and watercondenses on the tank’s surfaces. Yourdiesel-powered boat should have largefuel filters with bowls that allow for easyvisibility, to check for water.These filterswork to trap the water and separate itfrom the fuel.� Kill unwanted “guests”: Water in

the fuel is a breeding groundfor bacteria that feed on thefuel/water emulsion. Thesebacteria then excrete waste,which clogs fuel filters and— because of its stringynature — is often referred toas algae.Annual treatment ofthe fuel with a biocide willprevent the growth of these

bacteria and prevent clogged fuel filters.Adding biocide to your tanks as part ofyour winterization program will ensureyou are treating the fuel every year.� Prevent water: Many mechanicswill recommend topping off the fueltanks to reduce the condensation thatcollects over the winter. Many othershops recommend considering yourfuel use. If you use your boat lightly dur-ing the season and burn only a fractionof your tank’s capacity each year,consid-

er leaving the tanks as they are.Condensation can be dealt with

through filtration,but stale fuel — causedbecause diesel fuel degrades over time —will cause performance issues and possi-ble engine damage. If you go throughfuel regularly, go ahead and top off yourtanks.� Preserve fuel: It can also be a goodidea to run a fuel additive, especiallywith older diesel engines. Today’s ultra-low sulphur fuel has fewer lubricatingproperties and can cause prematurewear of injectors and other fuel-deliverycomponents. Regular use of fuel addi-tives beyond just the fall layup canextend engine life and help maintainyour fuel’s cetane rating (akin to gaso-line’s octane rating).� Add fresh oil: Your engine requiresa regular oil change, either every somany hours or annually. If you use theboat regularly all year, stick with thehour-based oil change interval. If you arelike so many of us and not getting awayfrom the dock as often as you’d like,make an oil change part of your winteri-zation regimen. Having the engine putaway for the winter with fresh oil is bet-ter for the internal components.� Prevent freezing: If the engine willbe sitting all winter, drain any raw waterfrom the engine components and shutoff the seacocks.This is critical in regionsthat experience freezing temperatures,as freeze damage can destroy anengine, resulting in downtime and veryexpensive repairs. Minor cracks in after-coolers can destroy an engine afterspring startup. In milder climates — or ifyou plan to use the boat in colder areas— keep some heat in the engine roomor use block heaters to prevent freezedamage and decrease moisture.

Winterization Due DiligenceTake care of your diesel now,and it will take care of you come spring. By Matt Gurnsey

AS THE INEVITABLE SIGNS OF AUTUMN encroach on the last vestiges ofsummer, it’s time to start thinking about winterizing your boat. Whether you’regoing to use your boat intermittently all winter or not use it at all (or you livein a climate that allows boating activities to continue almost unchanged),winterizing your boat will help preserve its systems and make it ready to usecome spring. Diesel engines have specific maintenance that should be attend-ed to on a regular basis, and fall can be a great time to get this done.

Make sure your dieselengine and its componentsare ready for the off-season.

TEAK DECKS AND SOLES can be asource of great beauty on a boat, andthey can be a source of even greaterhassle as they get dirty, age and fade.

You want to be on the water andenjoying time with family andfriends, not maintaining your teak.But it’s a fact of boat ownershipthat teak takes care to stay look-ing great. To do it right is to putyour heart and soul into three steps(four, if you count doing your bestto keep the teak clean during every-day use): Clean. Brighten. Oil.

Teak care manufacturers aredoing their best to help boaterskeep the drudgery to a minimum.

Companies such as Star brite,Interlux, Pure Oceans, Meguiar’s,Teak Wonder and West Marine pro-vide products to handle all three tasks.

Star brite offers a kit with one con-tainer of each for an all-in-one pack-age. Many other manufacturers havecombined the cleaner and brighten-er into one product, and then pack-aged it with teak oil as their all-in-one kit. Still others provide thecleaner and brightener as a kit andsell the oil separately.

Whichever method appeals to you— kit or individual purchases — makesure your teak is cared for regularly.With the proliferation of all-in-one kitsand combo products, it’s never beeneasier. The process may not be as sim-ple as washing your hair — Lather.Rinse. Repeat. — but it’s close.

Tackling Teak Gets Simpler

The prop,shafts,through-hulls,rudder and trim tabs (metal) need clearing.Heavy growth willaccumulate if the metal does not get painted,or if paint does not stick due to galvanic action.

The strength of the paint depends on the percentage of copper, which can range from 40to 65 percent.

Paint loses 50 percent of its toxicity within six months, even if you never touch it. More cleaning will be needed as paint gets older.

Dangerous shallow-water blackouts can result from holding one’s breath, due to lack ofoxygen to the brain. Or you may bump your head, black out and drown if no one is closeby to rescue you.

It is better to clean more frequently and use a softer scrubbing pad. Heavy growth will beharder to remove and require more aggressive pressure.

A boat that moves daily in the water at a speed of 4 knots or more will not need bottomscrubbing.The through-hulls will need cleaning every six months.

No, the larval stages of the marine life are flowing by the boat on the tidal current.Thereare billions of microscopic spores, eggs and larvae looking for a hard place to land.

Cleaning will prolong the time between haulouts and improve fuel consumptiondramatically, resulting in big savings.

Diapers load up with algae scum too quickly and are not effective. A carpet pad, a largesponge or a white 3M pad works better.

Copper is considered nontoxic to mammals but is very toxic to invertebrates (barnacles,clams, algae).

Bottom cleaning is not necessarywith a fresh antifouling coating.

All bottom paint is the same.

Bottom cleaning is not necessary.

I can hold my breath and cleanthe bottom.

Frequent cleaning is bad forbottom paint.

Fresh paint and bottom cleaningare always necessary.

Clean the dock floats and pilingsto reduce growth on the yacht.

Bottom cleaning is not costeffective.

Use only a diaper to clean freshpaint.

Copper is harmful to humans.

Myth vs. Reality

Other factors affecting bottom cleaning and growth rates are water temperature and the amount of sunlight on the boat. Is the boatfacing south? That can lead to much more growth. And the bay or harbor water has nutrients for algae growth, from urban runoffcontaining fertilizers. Information provided by Rob Williams (robthediver.com)

The primary maintenance re-quirement is fairly obvious: keepingthe face of the transducer free of anybuildup that may impede its per-formance. Caked-on dirt, marineplant life and barnacles can detractfrom its effectiveness by causing tur-bulence or trapping air on the face— conditions that can interfere withthe transmission signal and attenu-ate or muffle the reception of thereturn signal.

Cleaning the face of a transduc-er should be done as soon as the boatis hauled, to prevent the contami-nants from drying and becoming

more difficult toremove. Marine growthneeds to be scraped offby carefully dragging aflat tool, such as a puttyknife, across the trans-ducer face. Finishcleaning by wet sand-ing with a fine-gritsandpaper. That samefine-grit sandpaper canremove minor scratch-es and damage, becausethe outer “skin” of atypical transducer faceis a fairly thick layer ofpolymer or epoxy.

Staying on top of minor scratches willhelp keep the unit’s performance atpeak level.

The face of the transducer shouldbe protected with only a water-basedantifouling paint. Ketoses and othersolvents that are present in otherpaints can harm polymers and thesealant used in the manufacture oftransducer units. If non-ablativeantifouling paint is used, it shouldnot be allowed to build up more thantwo or three layers.

Sealing provisions for through-hull transducers should be inspect-ed every time the boat comes out of

the water. Look for dried-out or miss-ing sealant, or cracks that may indi-cate some movement has occurred.If any of these conditions is evident,the transducer should be taken outand the old sealant removed. Then,the unit should be re-bedded intothe hull. This can be a challengingtask, one that may be best left to aprofessional who has the propermaterials and expertise to handle it.

The system’s wiring should bepart of your regular inspection, too.Electrical connections must besecure and free of corrosion. Nicksor breaks in the transducer cable’s

metallic sheathing can allow unwant-ed electrical noise or interferencefrom other electronic devices toimpact the performance of the depthsounder or fish finder, so check thecable’s condition. For the same rea-son, cables for VHF radios, invert-ers and other potential sources ofelectrical interference should not beclosely bundled with transducercables. If the proximity is unavoid-able, extra cable shielding may berequired.

Caring for Your Boat’s TransducerIt’s your underwater eye,so treat it well.By Deane Hislop

Regularcleaning willkeep yourunderwatereye seeing20/20.

HIDDEN BELOW THE WATERLINE, transducers are the eyes of our depthsounders and fish finders. They rarely cross our minds until the boat is hauledand we see them protruding from the hull or suspended from the transom.That we treat them so indifferently is a tribute to their design and durabil-ity, but like any other complex part of the boat, ignoring their maintenancecan eventually lead to problems.

One brand-new yacht just deliv-ered to an owner had an interestingchoice of door latch. In the masterhead, the door to the head swungtoward the toilet, which wasn’t a prob-lem unless you were sitting there. Thereal concern was that the buildermounted a bulbous magnetic doorlatch, on the floor, right in front ofthe toilet. The potential to bust a toewas ever-present. The captain notedthe issue.

As a former mechanic, I look forengine room access and the ability toreach items such as fuel filters, fuelshut-offs and electrical switches. Aboat I was reviewing had easy accessto the engine room, but the fuel fil-ters were in a puzzling place. Aftersome searching, I discovered themmounted to the forward bulkhead, infront of the engines, all the way tothe outer ends. To change the filters,you had to go into the master suite,remove a wall panel on either side andreach into the engine room to get closeto the filters. Ouch.

On one new delivery, we just got

into the ocean on a twin-screw 40-foot cruiser when, without warning,the port engine shut down. I checkedthe gas supply and cross valves, elec-tronics, ignition — everything I couldthink to check. We bobbed back tothe dealer on one engine. Upon clos-er examination, the dealer’s mechan-ic found that the factory forgot to puta tie-down on an electronic harness,and the vibration disengaged theplugs, shutting down everything onthe port side of the house, engineincluded.

This door latchinstallation leftthe authorscratching hishead.

IN A PERFECT WORLD, every boat would come off the pro-duction line or out of the shed in perfect condition — noproblems or “punch lists.” Alas, the world is not perfect,and neither are boats. I’ve done my share of boat reviewsand sea trials; I’ve run boats for private owners and deliv-ered a few along the way. And I’ve experienced my shareof “What were they thinking?” moments. There are stan-dard gaffes that are just too common — sidedecks that arenot wide enough to walk down, flush-mounted flat stove-

tops with no means of holding a pot in place, low door frames, hard-to-accessengine rooms, not being able to see the bow from the helm — and there areless obvious ones, too. Here are a few of my highlights.

Chartplotter Reset Blues

BY LENNY RUDOW

Q I purchased a used boat afew weeks ago, and the

chartplotter was cluttered withold tracks and waypoints. Afriend suggested that ratherthan erase them one by one, I“reset” the unit. I found instruc-tions on the Web and tried it,but now the GPS won’t get a fixat all. What’s the deal?

Frederick Calipone, San Francisco

You don’t say whether you per-formed a “hard” reset (returning theunit to its factory settings) or a “soft”reset (erasing memory data, only), buteither way I think the problem is a lackof patience. After performing a reset,most units need a good 10 to 20 min-utes to get an initial lock and then down-load the GPS almanac. Give it plentyof time to perform these functions, andif it doesn’t work, try a hard reset. Ifthe unit still doesn’t work, you’ll prob-ably have to send it in for service.

Q The voltmeter on myport engine dips down

every 30 seconds or so. It hap-pens about half the time I runmy boat, with no rhyme orreason as far as I can tell. Isthis an indication that myalternator is going bad, or ofanother problem to come?

Chris Richardson, Seattle

There are a lot of potential rea-sons, but I’ve seen this occur timeand again for the same simplecause: a water pump pulling juiceas it cycles on and off. The next timeyou see this happen, turn the wheelover to someone else and put yourear near these pumps — I’ll bet dol-lars to doughnuts you hear one ofthem kicking on and off.

Efficient Painting,Efficient Running?BY JOHN TEMPLE

Q I have a 45-foot Bayliner, top speed 15knots. I have used Tinidad [hard] bottom

paint, applied with a roller. If the paint is appliedwith a brush using fore and aft strokes, would theboat move through the water more efficiently?

William Graves, via e-mail

I had wondered if a smoother bottom might help withmy Carver 390’s efficiency. The answer: nothingdetectable. In fact, a slight “abrasion” with the water canhelp a planing bottom form a bit more of the slipperyair that can actually speed up the boat, but again, thiswould be imperceptible in our type of boat.

Most important is keeping the bottom, shafts, through-hulls, struts, props and trim tabs clean from any marinegrowth. Because you used a hard paint, it may be OK tohave a diver clean the bottom, but check with your mari-na first. After bottom cleaning, the next thing is keep-ing your props tuned. I tune my props to “S” class, andit makes a big difference in speed and smoothness. Itcan cost $800 for two props on boats our size, but I thinkit’s worth it.

Beyond keeping the bottom clean, keeping your boatat the right trim for different speeds is the most effec-tive way to gain efficiency. If you do not have a devicethat measures fuel consumption where you can imme-diately get mpg, watch your rpm closely. Without touch-ing the throttles at various speeds, adjust your trim tabs.Watch to see where you start to gain or lose speed. Youcan watch your rpm as well to see if it rises or lowersslightly as you adjust trim.

The only other “tricks” are to look into adding somelift to your hull. I did this a bit with some spray rails,though my goal was more to make our boat drier in achop. Again, if you do not want to invest in fuel flowmeters, fill your tanks, try different speeds during runswith little current or wind and/or do a round-trip in likeconditions, then fuel back up. Do this at several speeds,and you will find your sweet spots.

Theother day, as the Motor Doctor andMotor Nurse were winding up a fullday and heading home, she said tome, “You know we don’t have any feed-back from our customers, don’t you?”I pointed out all of the word-of-mouthadvertising. That’s feedback, I told her.I waded nose deep into a one-way con-versation. I was wrong, and there wasno way I’d be allowed to be right.

When we got home, we sat downat the computer and listed the thingswe needed to know to help us makeour service better: Did we keep ourscheduled appointment? Did we dothe work you asked us to do in a time-

ly manner? Did you understand anyexplanations we gave regarding whatwork needed to be done, what couldwait and what were liability issues?Were you satisfied with the quality ofthe work? Was the work area cleanedafter the job was completed? For thework we did, did you feel the pricewas fair for today’s market? Would youcall on us again? Would you refer usto others? Any comments?

We had the list printed on post-cards by the local newspaper. Eachquestion required a Y or N. At the top,we put the repair order number, assur-ing customers’ anonymity, and at thebottom we added our thanks. Thecards were pre-addressed, and Iapplied the postage.

You would have thought we offered

access to the Holy Grail. Apparently,caring about customers’ concerns isa novelty. The Nurse was (ahem) right.We have received great feedback. I gotdinged for a cleanliness issue, and Imade it good with a free service call.One customer thought I shouldn’tcharge for coming to his location, andI gave him the names of boatyardswho’d haul his boat for triple what Icharge. And one customer rightfullytold me I should have warned him thatthe cost to rebuild his carburetorswould be higher than originally antic-ipated. I returned to his location andreplaced a primer solenoid for free. Ithink he’s happy now.

Take a look at the next repair that’sdone on your boat. Study it in the lightof this simple questionnaire. Send thedealer a letter addressing the ques-tions. He may love you, he may hateyou, but if it improves his business,your correspondence is worth it.

Simple questions lead to simpleanswers lead to better service

The boat is definitely a cruiser, butthanks to the Italian-based design firmNuvolari-Lenard, it has an aggressiveEuropean look. The siderails sweepforward, the pilothouse face sweepsback and the angular windshieldcomes to a point on either side likea pair of futuristic-looking shades.Twin Volvo Penta D12 EVC 715 hpengines propel the 600 along at bet-ter than 20 mph. Engine optionsinclude MAN, CAT and MTU, soboaters interested in even more speedcan be accommodated.

But back to the cruising. A fami-ly — or a cruising couple with friends— will find room to partake in manyof their favorite activities. Gather inthe salon for movie night, with seat-ing for six on the starboard settee andtwo more in chairs to port. The TV

drops out of the ceiling, so for easilyimpressed children that may be asmuch of an event as the movie — “Doit again!” Up in the pilothouse, thecaptain can participate in a rousingboard game, because there is a five-person settee with a folding tabledirectly to starboard of the helm sta-tion. In between is the fully equippedgalley, with granite counters and soleand an available wine cooler for afterthe anchor has dropped and the kidshave fulfilled their quota of familytime. All of this is under a ceiling thatis 7 feet tall.

The flybridge is another place tohang out. There’s seating for four atthe helm in two captain’s chairs anda bench. Aft is a U-shaped lounge witha table and seating for at least five. Awet bar, grill, refrigerator and ice-

maker give the bridge a self-sufficiencythat will allow outdoors lovers toremain there all day. A full-lengthhardtop is an option many boaterschoose, and even with it there is morethan 6 feet, 8 inches of clearance.Anyone who would rather soak up therays and still be outside can move tothe large sunpad on the bow, whichhas four convenient cupholders.

A three-cabin configurationbelowdecks provides room for six tosleep comfortably. The forward VIPstateroom and starboard guest roomshare a head with a separate showerstall. The full-beam midship masterstateroom enjoys its own head, com-plete with a shower and tub. Two hang-ing lockers and lots of storage shouldprovide plenty of room for clothes.

YOU CAN’T CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY.That’s what the saying tells us. Andfor the most part that’s true. What you can choose, though, is howyou spend time with said family. Some families play games, somewatch movies, some soak up the sun and some go boating. Withthe Marquis 600 — formerly the Marquis 59 — a family can do allof the above and still have a little space to spread out if (when) theyget tired of one another.

We saw the University ofWashington and its football stadium.We got within a Bubba Watson driveof downtown Bellevue on Meyden-bauer Bay. And we eyed Kirklandbefore we tucked into the glass-likesurface of Cozy Cove at Hunt’s Point.Two times we crossed under theEvergreen Point Floating Bridge —officially the Governor Albert D.Rosellini Bridge — the longest such

structure in the world.I mention all this because before

he had even fired up the engines,Outer Reef’s Seattle-based director ofsales, Dick Sproul, told me theexperience offered by the Outer Reef63 is about the journey. “This boatis not built for speed,” Sproul told me.“It’s great at 11 knots.” Getting there,in Outer Reef’s estimation, is morethan half the fun. Company president

Jeff Druek wanted to build a boat thatpeople would buy for the enjoymentof yachting. After a pleasant dayaboard the 63, I’d have to agree hesucceeded.

THE BOATAccess to the boat is from the swim

step, through a watertight door to theenclosed cockpit and up three stepsto the covered aft deck. The cockpitis labeled as a fishing cockpit, but itworks just as well for a sunset glassof wine and alfresco dining. There arealso transom access doors to the aftdeck, reachable from a set of steps oran elevated dock. Ample sidedecksmake forward access easy and provideroom to pull in and throw out fendersand lines.

WE MOTORED PAST THE HOMES fronting Lake Washington at an easy10 knots on one of those idyllic Seattle summer days the locals waitfor all year. Summer doesn’t begin until July 4 in the upper Northwest,say the locals, and I was there shortly after that. We went past thenew-money mansions. Past the few remaining old-school cabins thatare holdouts from an earlier era of weekend homes. Past the houseof Bill Gates — the world’s second-richest man — and its not-so-subtlereminder of how good life can be when you basically invent the future.

Outer Reef 63MAKES GETTING THERE MORE THAN HALF THE FUNBY MIKE WERLING Photos by Neil Rabinowitz

One of the changes peoplefamiliar with previous incar-nations of the 63 will noticeis in the pilothouse. Goneis the bulkhead that usedto separate the pilothousefrom the galley, and reallyfrom the rest of the maindeck. Druek and crewdiscovered that not a lot oftheir owners were underway at night — the captaindoesn’t need to besequestered in a smallpilothouse, a bulkheadkeeping the light fromdisturbing the passengers.

The pilothouse wasstretched slightly andbrought into the action onthe advice of Outer Reefowners — probably lonelycaptains. To facilitate theloss of the bulkhead, thefive-person settee wasmoved to port of thecaptain’s chair (it used tosit behind the chair), andthe watertight port-sidedoor was removed (thedoor to starboard remains).Opening things up alsomakes the main deck flownicely from salon topilothouse.

Directly aft of the pilot-house is the fully equippedgalley, loaded with GE

appliances — stainless refrigerator,electric range, dishwasher, microwave— and lots of Corian-topped counterspace. A teak and holly sole runsthrough the galley and the pilothouse.Down a short set of steps from thegalley is the salon, a cozy, comfortablesetting with seating for eight on a port-side settee and two chairs tostarboard. A 37-inch flat-screen HDTV and optional Bose entertainmentsystem provide distraction whenneeded.

Belowdecks — accessible via astaircase to starboard of the helm —is a three-stateroom, two-headconfiguration. The forward VIPstateroom and port-side thirdstateroom share a head with a showerstall. The midships master stateroom

has a queen-size bed with storageunderneath, twin nightstands andreading lights, two hanging lockerswith automatic lighting, and its ownhead with a sizable vanity andshower stall.

On this most beautiful of Seattledays, the flybridge was the star of theshow. We ate lunch at the table toport, sitting on the L-shaped settee,taking advantage of the 63’s smoothride and full hardtop. A complete helmstation, grill, wash basin andrefrigerator/ice-maker mean that theflybridge can be fully outfitted for theday. If it had a head, you’d never needto descend the stairs to the pilothouseand points below. The aft portion ofthe bridge holds the davit and dinghy.

PERFORMANCECruising on the placid waters of

Lake Washington, we didn’t get achance to test the boat’s full open-water capability. But the yacht is builtto Open Ocean Category A standardsfor safety and stability. Category Ameans the vessel can withstand waveheights of 18-20 feet and sustainedwinds of more than 40 knots. Theshipyard is ISO 9001 certified andadheres to ABS guidelines.

A standard pair of Cat C9 Acertdiesels, 503 hp, power the Outer Reef63. Using the electronic engines’displays and GPS readings, we tookour readings as we climbed up therpm and speed ladder. At the 11 knotsthat Sproul calls the boat’s sweet spot,the engines were turning at 1750 rpmand were burning 12 gph. Range atthat speed, with a 10 percent reserve,is about 850 miles. Above that speed,Sproul pointed out, the 63 losesefficiency. At 16 knots — the boat’stop speed — rpm is maxed out atabout 2600 and fuel burn jumps toalmost 50 gph. Back off to 1500 rpm,and the 63 travels at 10 knots whileburning about 10 gph. At 1300 rpm,the boat goes 9 knots and burns 7gph. Boaters out for a relaxing daycan pull back to 1120 rpm, make 8knots and burn just over 4 gph. Rangeat that barely-more-than-sailboatspeed is about 1,800 miles (with a10 percent reserve).

I took the opportunity for a self-guided tour of the vessel while we

were under way. My footing was solideverywhere. The door latches heldfirm, and the doors didn’t rattle orsqueak. Moving forward and aft onthe wide and tall covered sidedeckswas not an issue, even for my largeframe. We didn’t experience anybumping or lurching. In fact, Sproul’swife, Pam, joined us for the sea trial,and she sat on the swim step withher feet dangling in the water whilewe motored through Cozy Cove andwatched speedboats pull childrenriding high-end inflatable toys.

Whether I was belowdecks, onthe flybridge or sitting on the aftdeck settee, I noticed the ride —smooth and quiet. The folks at OuterReef attribute this to their Quiet RollSpray System, a system designed toact like spray rails, only better. Itdeflects the water away from thehull and, according to the company,leads to a quieter ride. For thosewho like to tinker, the engine roomis spacious and well-marked, withEdura coin dot flooring and roomto maneuver around both engines,the generator and everything else.

Steering was never an issue,with the boat responding quicklyto helm commands from thepilothouse and flybridge. By thetime we headed for land, the windhad picked up and tried to giveSproul a difficult time at the dock,but with judicious use of thethrusters and a little patience heshowed what the 63-footer wascapable of during the dockingprocess. It was simple for the threeof us, though two would havebeen plenty.

All in all, the Outer Reef 63 fulfillsthe goals the company had in mindfor the vessel. It’s a long-rangecruiser meant to get you there incomfort and style, and it does so withsolid fuel economy at cruising speedand maximum safety. It providesmultiple areas for dining, entertainingand relaxing, and it’s easy to operate.Don’t be afraid to set your sights afar,because the Outer Reef 63 can get youthere. But make sure you plan to begone for a while — with the 63, it’sabout the journey. Plus, if you go fast,even Bill Gates’ house passes by tooquickly.

SEA / OCTOBER 2010

“We acquired the tooling for theCamano 41 from the previous owners,”Lance Bracewell said, “made someinterior changes, including adding asecond stateroom, and installedequipment any good cruising boatshould have.”

Bracewell’s changes have resultedin what is really a new boat basedon a proven hull design, a factreflected in the boat’s new name: theBracewell 41.

The Camano hull shape wasdeveloped by naval architect BobWarman in 1989 when he was designinghis 31-footer. He started with thestandard semi-displacement hull design— displacement sections forward with

planing sections aft — and then addedfull-displacement keel sections thatfloated about 25 percent of the vessel’sweight.

This keel allowed the engine to beplaced lower in the boat, which loweredthe center of gravity and improvedstability. It also allowed the shaft to beprotected inside the vessel for most ofits length. The engine, being lower inthe boat, reduced the shaft’s down angle,which improved driveline efficiencyand, in turn, reduced fuel consumption.

Warman, who built the vesselsunder the Camano Marine label, soldthe business in 1997. The new owners,Brad and Jasyln Miller, continued tobuild the 31s, and by mid-2007 boaters

had purchased 268 of them. In 2005,the Millers introduced a 41-footer, basedon the design of the 31, including theKeelform hull. The molds, and othertooling for the 41, were built byBracewell.

Seven of the single-cabin 41s werebuilt before Lance Bracewell acquiredthe tooling and began production of his41-footer.

Bracewell, the owner of BracewellBoatworks Ltd., has been involved inbuilding and servicing boats for morethan three decades. In fact, he workedwith Warman building the plug for theoriginal Camano 31. Bracewell has builtand serviced both commercial andpleasure yachts in fiberglass, steel andaluminum, and currently operates anintegrated boat-building and servicefacility on Richmond’s Fraser River.

Because of his custom buildingexperience, Bracewell can easily install

items any individual buyer might like.The owner of our test boat works inthe marine service industry and wanteda complete hydraulic system on his new41. It was installed during the build.

Having tested the first 41-footer outof the mold in 2006, I looked forwardto a chance to test Bracewell’s new 41,and that chance came in May at atrawler gathering in Anacortes, Wash.

NEW LOOK & FEELEven at first glance there is no doubt

that Bracewell has stayed true to theoriginal Camano sedan design. Thevessel still has that slightly softened,husky, broad-shouldered workboatlook about it — upright windows allaround, slightly swept sheer, curvedtransom, a large, useful swim grid anda wash-and-wear exterior.

There are, however, subtle butsignificant changes. The most obviousis the extension of the deckhouse roofaft so rain runoff dumps onto the swimstep rather than onto the aft deck. Onthe first day of the trawler gathering,a rain- and hailstorm hit, and everyoneon the back decks of the othertrawlers — about 40 of them — hadto rush inside to keep dry. Those ofus on the back deck of the Bracewellcarried on with conversation andcoffee. Experienced tropical cruiserswill also appreciate the covered aft deckfor the shade it provides from therelentless sun.

A less obvious change is the mast.On the original 41, the mast was reallynothing more than a radar pedestal,and antennas were fixed to thecommand bridge at various locations.Bracewell’s mast is much moresubstantial and carries most of theantennas as well as radar.

The additional weight of thedeckhouse extension and mast hassolved what some considered a designdeficiency in the original 41 — a quickroll recovery that can be uncomfortable.In the test of the original 41, I noticedthe quick roll return, but I didn’t havea problem with it. However, the addedweight up top on Bracewell’s 41 givesthe vessel an easier, more comfortablemotion, particularly in a seaway.

A transom gate off the swim stepallows boarding access. That step, in

keeping with most new swim-stepdesigns, is about the same height offthe water as most floating docks,which makes for an easy step from thedock to the boat. This is a small butimportant feature to boaters with smallchildren or aging parents.

The cockpit is large, with highcoamings and beefy, stainless handrails,an ideal place for fishing or justlounging. It has a complete set of enginecontrols. A ladder on the cockpit portside leads up to the command bridgeand dinghy deck. The visibility fromthe command helm is excellent, and

there’s plenty of room up top for sunworshipers.

All deck surfaces are a sharp,molded-in, nonskid surface thatprovides good footing even in the rain.It also provided reasonably good footingin the hailstorm we experienced.

A watertight door opens into adeckhouse flooded with natural lightbecause of windows in every deckhousewall and a glass window in the aft door.The deckhouse itself is spacious andopen, with a double-seat helm forwardto starboard, from which visibility isexcellent all around. The galley is

forward to port, and an L-shaped settee,with storage underneath, and a foldingdining table, is located in the aftstarboard corner of the deckhouse. Thetable drops down to form a double bunk.Across from the settee is anentertainment center, complete witha small desk. A swivel tub chair sits inthe space between the entertainmentcenter and the galley.

Below, forward of the helm station,is the space that is most different fromthe original 41s. Those boats had asingle stateroom, whereas Bracewell’snew offering has two staterooms — aforecastle master and a port-side guestcabin. Also down and forward is thehead, complete with a freshwatertoilet, a vanity, a separate glass showerstall and plenty of storage. The masteris well finished with plenty of naturallight from twin overhead hatches andtwin ports, all of which can be openedto allow for cross ventilation. There’splenty of stowage and a comfortablepadded bench on each side of the islandqueen bed.

The guest stateroom is a comfortabledouble and is complete with an openingporthole, overhead and reading lights,and an LCD flat-screen TV. The gueststateroom on our test boat also housesa combination washer/dryer. Thatspace could also be finished as anonboard office.

ON THE MOVEWe fired up the Volvo D6-435 and

eased away from the dock. This six-cylinder, 336-cubic-inch (5.5L), elec-tronically controlled, common-railengine started quickly and easily withno fuss or smoke. It ran quietly,reading 62 decibels at its 600 rpm idlespeed. This double overhead cam, four-valve-per-cylinder power plant, new inthe Volvo line in 2009, is turbochargedand aftercooled. It weighs in at 1,541pounds and has a cast-iron block andhead. It is compact and light for thepower it produces.

Despite a fresh breeze, and withbarely a touch of the thrusters, wemoved away from the dock. Even inthe wind the vessel tracked straight andtrue, despite the slow speed — 3.7 knots— we were going.

When we cleared the no-wakezone, we set the engine at 900 rpm and

were making 4.5 knots and burning 0.6gph. At 1200 rpm, we burned 0.8 gphand made 5.9 knots; our noise meterread 65 decibels.

We made 7.5 knots at 1500 rpm andburned 1.37 gallons per hour. The noiselevel was 70 decibels, about the sameas a normal conversation. At 2000 rpm,we made 9.3 knots while burning 4.22gph; 2500 rpm gave us 10.8 knots witha fuel burn of 7.92 gph. Noise level was75 decibels. We burned 12.94 gph andmade 12.9 knots at 3000 rpm. At wide-open throttle — 3600 rpm — we made17 knots and burned 22.1 gph.

All speeds were measured by GPS,and fuel-consumption figures weregenerated by the engine computer.

The fuel consumption of this vesselat 7.5 knots is 5.47 nautical miles pergallon — remarkable for a vessel ofthis size. Its range, allowing a 10percent reserve, is 1,969 nauticalmiles, or 2,264 statute miles. Accordingto the builder, this speed range is wherethe Keelform hull really shines. “Asspeeds increase,” Bracewell said, “thevessel continues to get good fueleconomy, but toward the top end itbecomes more ordinary.”

During our test, the vessel handledeasily, responded smartly to the helmand tracked well. As we moved alongat various speeds, I went below lookingfor doors or drawers that rattled or slidopen and didn’t find any. Hatches andports stayed dogged down, and therewas no discernable paneling vibrationor drumming. The transom door stayedfirmly in place, and I couldn’t find anyloose or vibrating rails or deck fittings.

As we went through variousmaneuvers, the vessel always felt solidunderfoot and had an easier motionthan the original Camano 41, due tothe extra weight up top, as alreadynoted, and the fact that our test vesselweighs about a ton more than theoriginal 41. Part of that extra weightcomes from additional equipmentspecified by the owner.

Lance Bracewell brings a custom-builder’s touch to a production boat.He has recognized the excellent designqualities of the Camano Keelform hulland provided his experience in fittingthe vessel out, so a buyer can fire upthe engine, take aboard food, fuel andwater, and go cruising.

GETTING FROM A TO B NO LONGER REQUIRES A PHD.

INTRODUCING GEONAV® MARINE ELECTRONICS: INNOVATIVE MEETS EASY TO USE.

Spend less time studying the manual and more time exploring the

water. Geonav’s exclusive BlueLogic™ User Interface lets you navigate

screens and menus like second nature. Because marine electronics

should make reaching your destination less complicated, not more.

Go. Boldly.

Let me put it out there: The folksat Pursuit get it. They build nice,multifunction boats that are agile,easy to operate and ready to pleasethe entire family. A plethora offeatures will keep the fisherman, thecruiser and even the water-toy lovercontent with this platform. In fact,there are so many attributes to theDC 265 that I told David Glenn,marketing manager at Pursuit and mycaptain for the day, that I thought of

the boat as the “Swiss army knife”of the Pursuit line.

For the fisherman, the DC 265offers open deck space from stem tostern. A large cockpit with fullypadded coaming on the gunnelseasily allows for six anglers. An aft-facing seat will come in handy whenyou’re trolling lines or when you needto sit and fight the big one. Thefisherman is also going to love theOcean Blue lighted and insulated 20-

gallon livewell and insulated fishboxin the transom, and the tackle centerat the forward starboard corner of thecockpit, complete with a sink, cuttingboard and tackle drawers. Fresh- andraw-water washdowns are accessiblefor cleanup.

The forward bow is open, and kidscan easily fish here in comfort thanksto the padded bowrider-style seating,which also has padded backrests forthose who like to sit forward and seewhere they’re going. Smartly placedgrabrails will help keep those up frontin their seats if you hit a wave. Stepup to the forward deck for easy castingamid sure-footedness from thenonskid finish, which is found on allwalking surfaces.

DOES TESTING A BUILDER’S PREVIOUS MODELS help when given thechance to test its latest offering? I’m not sure. On one hand, I knowwhat to expect. But, then again, I also have high expectations, especiallywhen previous sea trials yielded favorable results. Within just a fewminutes of getting on board Pursuit Boats’ newest entry, the DualConsole 265, I knew it was going to live up to the Pursuit legacy.

Pursuit Dual Console 265 THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE OF THE PURSUIT FLEETBY CAPT. TOM SERIO

+Pursuit 265 8/27/10 10:39 AM Page 42

Want to cruise instead?There’s great pullout seat-ing in the cockpit that,when closed, sits flush anddoes not impede fishing.Along with the port-sideaft-facing seat are a port-side fold-out bench aswell as a foldout forward-facing transom bench.Varying combinationsallow for comfortableseating or for large sunningareas. And there’s stillroom for a table or a fewmore chairs. Four speakers(two forward, two aft) areavailable, along with theoptional Clarion stereo/CDfor your musical pleasure.

For tubing and skiingenthusiasts, there is anoptional transom-mountski tow kit that will expo-nentially increase thepleasure value of the DC265. Doing double duty,the aft-facing seat is acomfy perch for anobserver. Getting back onboard is easy with a four-step telescoping boardingladder.

WHAT’S HEREFrom a practical aspect,

this Pursuit follows manyof the same inherent stan-

dards and qualities as other modelsfrom the builder. A fiberglass hullwith a one-piece stringer systemmakes for a rigid bottom and a solidride. Inserts bonded between thestringers in machinery spaces helpminimize wetness and corrosion onmetals, wires and connections, asbilge water runs below these areas.

An integrated stainless steelthrough-hull anchor system iscontained below the forward deck,keeping the tie-off cleat and optionalwindlass, the plow anchor stem andthe chain out of toe-stubbing range.The anchor itself rests against acontoured stainless steel plate on thebow. The anchor system gives theboat a cleaner profile.

TESTER’SOPINION“The PursuitDual Console265 has thetools andfunctionalitythat willsatisfyeveryone’swhims.”

With various seating options andplenty of room for fishing, thisvessel is Pursuit’s new Swiss armyknife.

+Pursuit 265 9/7/10 10:57 AM Page 43

tempered-glass Taylor windshield —with its beefy frame — is the signaturelow-glare gray-colored commandconsole to starboard, complete witha molded-in footrest. The helm seatis adjustable fore and aft, it swivelsto create maximum comfort and it hasa flip-up bolster for those times whenstanding is better.

There’s plenty of dashboard roomfor electronics, including a RaymarineC90 chart plotter display, along witha tachometer and speed displays, anda Raymarine VHF radio. Rockerswitches for the horn, lights andpumps, the trim tab indicator, and aClarion AM/FM stereo with CD playercontrol display flank the hydraulic tiltsteering wheel. Forward visibilitythrough the tempered-glass windshieldis good, as the frame is just above mostpeople’s sight lines (unless you’re tallerthan 6 feet).

Access to the bow is through thewindshield’s center walk-throughpanel. It folds back flush against theport windshield and is held in placeby a latch that could hold an elephant.There’s also a door below thewindshield panel that keeps theelements out and opens flush (actuallyrecessed) against the starboard helm.Good thinking.

As this is a dual-console model, theport console, at first look, seems plain.With an indented shelf on the faceand some flat space on top, for chartsperhaps, it’s no big deal. But grab thelatch and the whole front of theconsole opens to provide access to thehead. For a 26-footer, the head is largerthan you might expect and has elbowroom — definitely sufficient for dayuse. A standard manual head, holdingtank, macerator, cold-water faucet andsink let you answer nature’s call when,well, you are enjoying nature.

Our test boat has the optionalhardtop, which should be consideredfor a number of reasons. First, it keepsyou out of the elements, either fromthe blazing sun or from rain by addingBimini front, side or aft curtains. Itcan also lengthen your boating seasonor trip range by offering addedprotection. Additionally, you’ll needthe hardtop if you desire radar, morelighting (it has two embedded lightsand aft-facing LEDs), higher antenna

mounts or more rod holders. From asafety standpoint, the white powder-coated aluminum hardtop frame isvery sturdy and offers many more holdand grab points. There are five pointswhere the frame attaches to the boat,so it’s going to stay put.

PERFORMERBuilt more for versatility

(remember the knife) than speed, theDC 265 still turns respectablenumbers. Its engine options arelimited to a single Yamaha 300 or350, both with electronic controls.My test boat has the Yamaha 350, aV-8 configuration, and it seemed likeplenty of power. Running specifi-cations taken during the trial werevery close to Pursuit’s spec sheet.At 2500 rpm — barely working forthe 350 — you’re proceeding at 10mph. Open it up to 3500 rpm, andyou’re skipping along at 25 mph. At4500 rpm, the boat can make 37mph. Go wide open, about 5800 rpm,and the DC 265 screams at 48 mph,fast enough to make your eyes tearup, some of it from the exhilarationof the stable ride (thanks to the 8-foot, 9-inch beam).

A day on the water requiresstorage for gear and goodies, and theDC 265 doesn’t disappoint. Lift thehinged, full-length bow seat cushions,and you have cavernous, self-draining storage boxes. There’s alsolockable rod storage in the centerfloor hatch and space to drop in acouple of tubs in the aft hatch. Forthose quick-to-grab items such as lifejackets, there’s storage space underthe helm console, which also allowsplenty of access to the electronicsin the helm.

Simplicity is key, and the DC 265is simple to operate and maintain.Fuel tank access is via the aft hatch,as is access to the pumps, bilges,wiring, transducers and filters. Alsoworthy of note is the triple-clampedfuel fill hose. There is no teak trimor any other hard-to-keep finishes.

The Dual Console 265 is a newentrant in the Pursuit lineage. It hasthe tools and functionality that willsatisfy everyone’s whims. Questionis, how will Pursuit top the DC 265?My expectations are rising.

ther boat owners sim-ply point their vesselssouth in the fall andfollow the birds. They

keep going until theyreach Costa Rica or Panama

and commute back and forth. Thenthere are those fair-weather boaters(like me) who run up the white flagand pack it in for the winter.

Effective winterization starts witha plan. The first order of business isto create a checklist that’s tailored toyour boat, because if you forget a crit-ical step, the penalty can be severe.If winterization were a class, it wouldbe graded on a pass/fail basis. A goodaddendum to your checklist is aschematic of your boat’s plumbing sys-tem that takes into account the mod-ifications that have occurred since theboat was new, so no area is neglect-ed. Then it’s on to the actual manu-al labor.

Take It All OffThe first task is to remove

anything that isn’t bolted down.Items that can absorb moistureand give mold a toehold onwhich to grow has to go, espe-cially paper products such aslogs, charts, manuals, maga-zines and paper towels. Don’t for-get out-of-sight items like theanchor line, which tends to incu-bate in the moist confines of alocker and could use an annu-al cleaning to get rid of the accu-mulated salt that makes it stiffer thana pair of rusty pliers. To clean it, filla large trash can with fresh water, adda spritz of fabric softener and soak itfor a day; then, rinse and let it thor-

oughly dry. Your line will last longer,be supple to the touch and lay flat inthe anchor locker.

Safety gear such as flares and fireextinguishers should be inspected; if

something is, or soon will be, out ofdate, toss it and note it on your recom-missioning checklist. (You do haveone, right?) If you don’t keep a recom-missioning checklist, use a Sharpieto write a note on any soon-to-expireitem, reminding you to replace it. Anddon’t toss it or you might not noticeits absence when you relaunch.Remove the batteries from any devicethat has them.

SEA / OCTOBER 2010

Fire extinguishers and anchor line are impor-tant items to check during the winterizationroutine. Note the extinguisher’s expirationdate, and clean the line.

BiggestWINTERIZING MISTAKES

>1 Doing it yourself. If youhave only a rudimentary

knowledge of your vessel’s sys-tems, especially the plumbing,leave it to the experts. It’s cheapinsurance to make sure that everycomponent is taken care of. Thenif something goes wrong, youhave someone other than your-self to blame.

>2 Leaving batteries in yourboat uncharged. Fully

charged batteries can withstandvery low temperatures, while dis-

charged wet-cell batteries canfreeze, which will kill them andperhaps cause other damage. Ifremoving them is impractical,make sure the battery switch isoff to prevent voltage loss, andfully charge them once a month.

>3 Using Bimini-top framesto support your cover.

Most Bimini tops aren’t strongenough to support several feet ofsnow or puddles of rainwater thatcan form on some rigs. Use PVCpiping to construct a frame that is

screwed together so you can dis-assemble and store it for use thefollowing year.

>4 Blocking a dry-dockedvessel improperly. A keel

block for each 10 feet of LOA pre-vents too much force frombecoming concentrated in a smallarea. Also, don’t tie covers to yourboat’s supports, as this can causethem to walk outward.

>5 Not allowing properdrainage. Scuppers and

drain holes that get clogged withdebris are useless and can causeyour vessel to hold an impressiveamount of water. Ill-fitting or torncovers allow leaves or otherdebris to enter your boat and canclog scuppers. Not blocking yourboat so that water flows to thestern is another area of concern.

While a list of winterization dos and don’ts could

potentially cover several pages, we’ve highlighted

the five that seem to ensnare the highest number of

boaters. Take advantage of the mistakes others have made

by avoiding them:

Hisl

op


Take Care ofLiquid Assets

Before pulling your boat, motor overto the head pumpout station and hookup. While that’s in progress, add waterand flush several times. Then clean thebowl thoroughly, flush it a few moretimes and pump the tank again. Pump10 gallons or so of nontoxic (pink)antifreeze into the holding tank, Y-valveand hoses, and the macerator if yourboat has one.

By far your most important task isto make sure water doesn’t freeze inany of the many systems on your ves-sel that holds it. This is where havinga plumbing schematic comes in handy— so you don’t forget one of the myriadonboard systems. (Many systems havea specific method for winterizing, soconsult your owner’s manual or finda copy online.) For most freshwatersystems, drain them after first shut-ting off the power to the water heater,to avoid burning up the element.Gravity does most of the work, but beaware of places where pipes dip down.Disconnect and drain them if needed,and don’t forget items like your ice-maker and sea strainer. Next, you needto introduce antifreeze into all systemsthat hold water. For your freshwatersystem, disconnect the intake, pourantifreeze into a bucket (about 25 gal-lons for the average vessel), submergethe intake and fire up the pump. One-by-one, turn on each spigot and show-er head until you see pink running out.

Clean MachineThe next order of business is to

thoroughly clean your vessel. And we

don’t mean that cursory going-oversome people call a scrub-down aftera tiring day of sun and fun. This ismore like the detailing your car getsbefore entering a local concours event.Any bit of crud left to mature in thatPetri dish of an unused boat can turninto a permanent fixture. Althoughthere are many fine products thatinhibit mold and mildew, your bestdefense is a clean, dry surface. Takea methodical approach and go fromtop to bottom, hitting the nooks andcrannies you might tend to overlook,like the underside of surfaces.

Anything made of fabric — cush-ions with removable covers, blankets,sheets and towels — should beremoved, laundered and storedashore. Tilt all mattresses and cush-ions on their edges to promote air-flow. Also, leave all closets, drawers,hatches, refrigerators and doors opento promote ventilation. Carpetsshould be cleaned, leaving them

enough time to completely dry beforeclosing up the boat for the winter. Payparticular attention to cleaning theengine and bilge area to remove anynoxious smells. This will also makesure that nothing will clog the drainhole, as one loose chip of engine paintcan do.

High and DryAs soon as your vessel is removed

from the water, clean the hull. It’s fareasier to remove marine growthbefore it has a chance to dry and setlike concrete. A pressure washer isyour best tool for cleaning the under-side of your hull, but proceed cau-tiously to avoid damage. Why not useit topside? Spraying a powerful jetaround hatches, cleats, railings, win-

SEA / OCTOBER 2010

A thorough cleaning, a pressure wash and ahead pumpout are three winterization tasksthat cannot be ignored — or can be, but atyour boat’s peril.

Winterize YOUR VESSEL


dows and other fittings is a recipe fora leak, especially in areas that havebeen caulked. Use soap and water uptop with a nonabrasive brush, work-ing in small sections to avoid lettingthe soap dry.

When power washing the under-side, do it at an angle, starting shal-low and increasing the “directness”only on stubborn areas. Hold off onapplying antifouling paint until springfor maximum effectiveness, and waxthe hull and clean the metalwork witha cleaner such as Never Dull. Teakshould be thoroughly cleaned usinga teak-specific product. Some people

like to oil the wood,while others prefer toleave it au naturel, claim-ing that an oiled surfacethat doesn’t get cleanedperiodically is an attrac-

tant and “food source” for things thatgrow in the offseason.

Sealed for YourProtection

Many people shrink-wrap their ves-sels for the winter. If you’re one ofthem, it’s probably one task thatshould be left to someone who doesit more than once a year. A potentialproblem with hermetically sealing

your vessel is that it does the job toowell — cutting off all airflow. This cre-ates a greenhouse that promotescondensation and creates a perfectenvironment for growing all sorts ofnasties. Use a small fan placed at theopposite end of your vessel from a ventto create the needed airflow to pre-vent problems. A humidistat, whichonly kicks in when the humidityreaches a certain level, can be installedto reduce the fan’s runtime.

Whatever scheme you choose,you should make ample use of des-iccants, such as Damp Rid or StarBrite’s No Damp, to keep the interi-or dry. Your shrink wrap should havea zipper built in so you can periodi-cally inspect your vessel to make sureall’s well, because you know you’ll wantto go say hello to your inanimate bestfriend in the offseason.

POINT AND SHOOT LIKE A PROEVEN SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE CAMERAS CAN PRODUCE EXCELLENT CRUISING PHOTOS.STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOHN BEAT T Y

+Feature-Taking Photos 9/7/10 1:03 PM Page 52

photographer worth his salt will say you need to under-stand cameras, light and composition in order to cap-ture dramatic images. And while that is true, you don’thave to buy the deluxe-model camera to snap greatphotos — just understand the following factors as theypertain to the cruising photographer. First, get an inex-

pensive digital camera and a dog. Some of the picturesused in this article were taken with a simple 6-megapixel, $180camera. Try to spot them. They are identified at the end of thearticle.

Having a dog has helped me take better photos while my wife,Linda, and I cruise. A dog requires a dinghy ride to shore to takecare of its business at the same time the light is best for photos:in the morning and evening. Victor takes the time to look aroundas we walk. So do I. A photo idea may grow slowly as I walk Victorin the early morning, just after the sun goes down or even whenit’s completely dark. When I see a shot, my point-and-shoot cam-era is in my pocket, at the ready. A complex single-lens reflex (SLR)camera is big and heavy, and I don’t feel safe taking a rather expen-sive SLR out in a kayak.

In most cases, if I use the auto setting on a point-and-shootcamera, I get good photos. This applies to complex SLRs, as well.Trying to outthink the camera is not usually worth the effort, althoughthere are exceptions. I leave the flash off most of the time. In goodlight, I don’t need a flash. In low light, if I can steady the cameraon a rock or a tripod, the camera will record subtle images. And,if I don’t get what I want, I turn the flash on and shoot again. Speakingof shooting again — what I really mean is again and again and again.The way to learn how to take good photos is to take lots of them.

LIGHTING, WEATHER, COMPOSITION

Light is one of the keys to goodphotography, no matter where youare. At noon, the sun is high andcolor is flat and uninteresting, evenon overcast days. Before 10 a.m. andafter 3 p.m., the sun is at a lowerangle and shows the subject withgood color and detail.

The weather also has consider-able influence on the scene. In shel-tered cruising areas around theNorthwest in the summertime, morn-ing is often calm. As the sun comesup, the water is like a mirror.Fortunately, Victor won’t let me sleepin, so I don’t miss the patches of fogthat can form as the sun rises. Andthough mist and haze are dramatic,capturing the vast vistas we see alongthe way can be difficult through thoseelements. As the sun moves higher,

• I shoot at the highest resolutionavailable. This is sometimesreferred to as the highest-qualitypicture setting, and it does take upmore memory space, so carryextra memory cards and downloadto your computer often. If you thinkyou’ll remember to change fromlow- to high-quality files just as theorca pops out of the water, thinkagain. I have made good 11-inch-by-14-inch prints from my point-and-shoot camera, but only by using thehighest resolution.

larger f-stop means slow shutterspeed and, therefore, the poten-

� Think about light and composition.

� Have a camera handy while cruising from place to place.

4 HELPFUL TIPS

the wind picks up. In the afternoon,when the light is good again, themountains in the distance are easyto see, and the surface of the watercan take on many different and pleas-ing textures.

Is dramatic lighting available onlywhen the sun is out? Not at all.Assuming our boat is under firm con-trol (or better yet, safely anchored),I reach for my camera before, dur-ing and after a storm. There are won-derful changes in lighting and waterconditions in and around thunder-storms and rain squalls. When the ele-ments are less than desirable, it is notcheating to stay in the pilothouse andshoot through the window with theflash off.

Even if you aren’t sure you havea chance of good results, take pic-tures — lots of them. You will learnyour camera’s capabilities. That’show I got the ferryboat shot. [1 ]I saw it coming into the bay. It wasevening, and I was standing on a

floating dock. I leanedmy camera against apiling and snappedthe photo. The dockdidn’t move and

there was enough light to get a sharpimage.

So, if the light is good, will youget good images? Only if the sub-jects are in the proper place. I havelearned some things about compo-sition, such as keeping the scene sim-ple and uncluttered, and “the ruleof three”: Three flowers or boats aremore pleasing than two or four. [2]

Composing a photograph of amoving boat while on another mov-ing boat becomes more challenging.Driving our boat has taught me a lotabout boat captains’ behavior. I amalways trying to figure out what theother boat is going to do next. If Isee a beautiful sailboat in front of agarbage barge, I can change my head-ing and wait. If I plan it correctly,the sailboat will move in front of thelighthouse I also want to shoot andmake a pleasing image. [3]Using my understanding of boat

behavior allows me to composegreat pictures.

Attorney at Law

MOVIN’ ON UPAfter learning how to get the most

from a simple camera, take a lookat an SLR with a telephoto lens. Thiscombination makes composing and

isolating a subject even more fun and interesting. It is hardto compose a shot involving subjects that move using asmall LCD screen and a 15-power digital zoom lens. Thisis where a camera with a viewfinder and a 70-200 zoomlens is a great tool. I do use a telephoto lens when I’mshooting from our big boat, but not from my kayak.

I was a serious photographer in my previous life, usinga film camera while doing editorial work for aviation mag-azines. I put off serious photography after retiring fromthat business. Then I started using a small digital cam-era and shooting mostly family snapshots. Fortunately,digital technology advanced, and I discovered the “onthe water” capabilities of modern point-and-shoot equip-ment (which you can see more of at floatingsome-where.com). You can become a better photographer, too.Experiment with your camera, and don’t let any photo-graphic opportunities float past you.

And if you do get a great shot of another boat, do whatI do: Call the boat on the radio, get the owner’s e-mailaddress and send him a copy with your compliments. Ihave done this quite often and have made many newfriends. It’s lots of fun.

QUIZ

ANSWER:

OK, so did you figure out which photos were taken with asimple point-and-shoot camera and which ones were takenwith a more expensive SLR? The photos of the kayaks andthe sailboat/lighthouse were snapped with an SLR model.All the rest were shot with my point-and-shoot rig.

AUTO

• Experiment with night photog-raphy and night modes. And even

if a tripod isn’t handy, take theshot. You may get lucky.

Sea: There have been reports of spiritsroaming your decks; what are the mostknown hauntings?Queen Mary: Most of the restless spir-its are believed perhaps to be for-mer crewmembers and passengers

who may have met an untimelydeath while sailing aboard. Duringmy 60-year history, there have beena total of 49 reported deaths. Thefirst one took place in 1934 while Iwas under construction at the John

Brown Shipyard in Clydebank,Scotland.

Is there any former crew that residesaboard the ship?Yes, the story of a young crewman whowas violently crushed to death in door-way #13 in the depths of the engineroom during a routine watertight doordrill on July 10, 1966 is probably thebest known. Sightings are said to befrequent as visitors and crewmembersdescribe a young bearded man in bluecoveralls walking the length of ShaftAlley.

The Legend of The Grey Ghost —During World War II, Queen Mary waspainted camouflage gray, transformedinto a troopship and nicknamed “TheGrey Ghost.” While sailing in a manda-tory zigzag pattern, the ship slicedthrough the escort ship, the British cruis-er H.M.S. Curacao, as it went off course

AS RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA search for the scariest placesto spend Halloween, in hope of emerging from historic buildingsand sites with a ghost story of their own, local marinas and portshave their own haunted vessels with their own stories to tell.

The historic ocean liner Queen Mary remains a popular destina-tion for thrill seekers, as the legendary vessel is believed to house sev-eral passengers who have refused to leave the ship — even after death.

La Playa Anchorage,San Diego’s Best-Kept SecretA peaceful and exciting place to spend a daySTORY BY TERRANCE K. PHILLIPS

JUAN CABRILLO MAY HAVE BEEN THE FIRST EXPLORER to anchorin the cozy and calm waters off Point Loma’s La Playa beach,but he certainly will not be the last. Stretching betweenSouthwestern and San Diego yacht clubs resting against theeastern banks of Point Loma, you’ll find peace, serenity andwaters that look more like a mirror than a marina called LaPlaya Anchorage.

Trivia Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo (1542) andSebastián Vizcaíno (1603) referenced

the La Playa Trail in their accounts.


TYING UP Upon entering the Shelter Island

Channel, La Playa Anchorage is anoth-er quarter mile to port and the area justnorth of Southwestern Yacht Club (1).It is only available for guests from Friday,9 a.m.-9 a.m., Monday. You must re-ceive a permit from the San DiegoHarbor Police a minimum of 24 hoursin advance of your arrival.

This is a year-round protectedanchorage with no sandbars or shoals.The bottom is smooth, muddy sand, anda fluke anchor is preferable. Raftingtogether is allowed and if you are a recip-rocal member of San Diego, South-western or Silvergate yacht clubs, guestdinghy facilities are nearby.

La Playa Anchorage is a great areafor family and friends to enjoy whatboating is all about.

EXPLORE THE SHORE If the peace and tranquility becomes

a little too sedentary, you can explorethe historic La Playa Trail, whereexplorer Juan Cabrillo first anchoredin August 1542. The oldest commer-cial trail in the western United Statesbegins adjacent to the entrance gate ofSouthwestern Yacht Club. The wide dirttrail will take you from the anchorageto the entrance area of Shelter Island.It is a great place to hike, bike and viewluxury yachts on the waterside. It isworth the jaunt.

The world-famous San Diego Zoo,

SeaWorld, Maritime Museum and GasLamp District are a short cab ride fromShelter Island, and each provides won-derful family entertainment.

DANCE IN YOUR DINGHYIf you enjoy music, the outdoor

concert venue Humphrey’s (2) is a shortcruise across the channel. On sum-mer nights, you will find manydinghies rafted together just off thedocks of the Half Moon Inn andHumphrey’s. You can actually see thestage from that vantage point, and themusic is free when on the water.Vessels are not permitted to anchorin the federal channel and mustadhere to boating regulations.

HOW IT BEGANThis modern-day gold rush began

May 3, 2000, when Dave Ulmer hida container of trinkets to celebratethe availability of GPS technology forcivilian use. He hid the container inBeavercreek, Ore. and posted its GPScoordinates online, inviting news-group members to locate the hiddentreasure.

Ulmer, like many others, cele-brated the order by former PresidentBill Clinton to shut down selectiveability in May 2000, allowing themost precise GPS signal that wasonce restricted to military opera-tions to be used by civilians. Priorto the order, the public was restrict-ed to using selective ability, a farless precise signal.

Now treasure seekers had anopportunity to follow precise GPS

coordinates to find hidden items care-fully buried by fellow boat owners.

HIDE AND SEEKSince its inception, the challenge of

geocaching has spread throughout theUnited States and other countriesworldwide. The challenge of trackingdown hidden items drew me to the lead-ing website for caches (geocaching.com)in 2003 and eventually led me to become

a registered member. I have searched ports near and far

for caches, including Florida, Georgiaand Louisiana. I have even found timeto find caches while traveling. Afterreading that there are more than75,000 caches in California, I thoughtit was only appropriate to search forthem in my homeport of Marina delRey.

Since I generally practice locate-

it-and-leave-it treasure hunting, myprofile reflects a handful of found trea-sures. More often than not, I findmyself enjoying the journey to seclud-ed parks, scenic locations or unknownneighborhoods more than loggingcaches and retrieving trinkets.

and found more than 600 cacheswithin 10 miles of my marina’s zipcode. Aside from GPS coordinates,the website provides far more infor-mation than your typical pirate’s map.There are several types of caches,including traditional, unknown, vir-tual, mystery, puzzle and multiplestage. You can also select caches bydifficulty and terrain.

I typically use my backup hand-held Magellan Meridian Marine GPSor my car’s Garmin Nuvi 265w GPS.A car’s GPS is useful for unfamiliarland-based areas, because it willgive you turn-by-turn street directionsto get you in close proximity to thedesired treasure. Of course, a marineGPS only gives a straight-line tra-jectory.

I have heard of some diving cachesbut have never found any myself.

FOLLOWING CLUESI chose three caches to pursue in

Marina del Rey. Once a cache isselected, participants provide moredetails. Others may offer a crypticmessage or additional hints.

The first cache was in a basinthat I was very familiar with.Together my wife and I followed thehints and threw ourselves into thehunt. We scoured the entrance tothe berth, the seawall and the dockramp. And we even looked in thewater, but never found the cache.In geocaching terms, this is referredto as DNF (did not find). We believewe were too preoccupied with thosewalking and taking advantage of thenice weather.

The second cache was also a DNFmuch to our disappointment. It wasplaced near a popular yacht club,supposedly in plain view but still noluck.

The third and final cache was neara public facility that I have not used,since my vessel is berthed in a wet

slip. When we were within about 20feet of the cache, my geocachinginstincts took over. Within a few min-utes, I had retrieved the well-con-cealed and camouflaged treasure. Thegeneral rule of the hobby is “takesomething, leave something.” We lefta lanyard and took our find: aBravo-Sierra-Alpha pin.

In the end, we were not 100 per-cent successful in our hunt, but theadventure was certainly rewarding.Geocaching is probably the onlyshoreside activity that provides prac-tical exercises in using and under-standing your GPS. As boaters, whatmore could we ask for?

Sea:How many lighthouses still stand inWashington?DeWire: The answer depends on

your definition of “lighthouse.” WLAdefines a lighthouse as habitable,meaning it could have, or had, a keep-

er living inside the tower or nearby.Of the old government-built habitablesentinels, we have 21 standing.

What’s the oldest one in Washington?Cape Disappointment Lighthousewas commissioned in 1856. Some his-torians say it’s the oldest structurein the state still functioning in its orig-inal manner, meaning it’s still an oper-ating lighthouse. It’s also the onlylighthouse in Washington with astriped daymark.

How many Washington lighthouses stillfulfill their intended function?Most do. I know of only three that don’tfunction anymore.

How did lighthouses create their beamsin the early days?The pre-1820s lighting apparatus

KEEPER OF THE LIGHTMeet Elinor DeWireFounder and first president, Washington Lightkeepers Association

LIGHTHOUSES STILL INTEREST MANY PEOPLE, but to college professor andwriter Elinor DeWire they are a passion. DeWire is the founder and first presi-dent of the Washington Lightkeepers Association (walightkeepers.com), whichwas established in 2005, and the author of three books about lighthouses: “Guardiansof the Lights: Stories of Lighthouse Keepers,” “The Lightkeepers Menagerie: Animalsat Lighthouses” and “The Lighthouses of Greece.” She helped establish light-house organizations in the past and was encouraged to do the same in Washingtonafter she moved there in 2002. The result was Seabeck-based WLA, which, accord-ing to its mission statement, is “dedicated to the rehabilitation, restoration, preser-vation, and perpetuation of Washington’s lighthouses and lightships, as well astheir history and lore.” We wanted to find out a little bit about that history.

consisted of oil lamps and silveredreflectors — no lenses. The range ofeven the best lighthouse during thisperiod was seldom more than 5 mileson a clear night. A French physicistnamed Jean-Augustin Fresnel revo-lutionized illumination with theinvention of the Fresnel lens in1823. Fresnel devised six orders, orpowers, using prisms and either beltsof magnifying glass or magnifyingbull’s-eyes. Belts created fixed lights,and bull’s-eyes created flashes.

The lighthouse at Alexandria is said tohave been one of the seven wonders ofthe ancient world. Is there one inWashington that inspires similar awe?Nothing in Washington or anywhere elsecompares with the Pharos of Alexandria.It was taller and grander than any light-house anywhere in the world — esti-mated at about 450-500 feet tall.Washington’s tallest lighthouse at GraysHarbor is only about 110 feet.

Why are people still interested in light-houses?Lighthouses represent many reassuringthings: safety, guidance, salvation,strength, shelter from a storm. Andthey’re beautiful. Who doesn’t love a sea-side scene with an old lighthouse flash-ing its warnings in the darkness?

What are some of WLA’s projects?We helped launch Washington’s light-house license plate three years ago,which established a fund for lighthousepreservation and education. We producefree maps and brochures for visitorsshowing the location of the state’s light-houses and providing info on how tovisit them. We provide educational work-shops for people working at lighthous-es. We have a “Lighthouse Santa” whovisits the various lighthouses eachChristmas season and gives goodies tovolunteers and visiting kids. We hostan annual fun run/walk the second week-end of August in Westport. Next up?We hope to establish an annual histo-ry prize for a deserving high school stu-dent who researches and writes a paperon a topic related to Washington light-houses and lightships.

With all of the issues Northwestboatyards face with EPA regulationsfor stormwater runoff and threats oflawsuits for noncompliance, yardowners are scrambling for ways to dealwith heavy metals in runoff that occurswhen rainwater mixes with potentiallytoxic chemicals and metals on the

ground. One Whidbey Island-basedheavy metals remediation company istouting its system as a way for boat-yards to comply.

WI Environmental’s trademarkedXR-88 remediation system passed acritical test recently, which showedthe system isn’t harmful to fish or

other aquatic life. The system ishoused in a self-contained unit thatis installed on-site. It catchesstormwater runoff, moves it throughthe unit and, using the XR-88 com-pound, turns the heavy metals intosafe, nontoxic waste that can be dis-posed of easily.

SAS Yachts in Seattle changed itsname to Seattle Yachts on Aug. 1,2010, to better reflect the company’snew direction and focus, mainly itsagency agreements with NorthwestTrawlers and Island Gypsy Trawlers.The name change got its jump startwhen the new owners, Ted Griffin andEd Scripps, realized they needed toadd powerboats to the lineup to serve

customers who wanted to make theswitch from sail.

“From working in the office priorto buying the business, I knewsomething was missing,” Griffinsaid, explaining why the brokerageadded trawlers to the mix. “With atrawler, it’s a similar mindset to acruiser; speed is not important, it’sabout the journey.”

Juan Channel, boaters can enter the harbor northwestor southeast of privately owned Brown Island, with thenorthern approach preferred by most boaters. When usingthis approach, it’s best to favor the starboard side of thechannel, as ferries and seaplanes favor the center.

Fresh seafood is available in the marina at the bot-tom of the M-dock ramp, where you will find Friday HarborSeafood, owned and operated by Eric and Brenda Wagner.This floating shop is well stocked with live and cookedcrabs and prawns, salmon, oysters and smoked scallops.

At the top of the dock ramp, next to the harbormaster’soffice, take a left and follow the paved footpath throughFairweather Park to town. The park is a great place tostroll or sit and relax while enjoying the stunning viewof the harbor. In the park, native artist Susan Point’s sculp-ture of red cedar house posts honors the enduring pres-ence of the Coast Salish people in this area.

Spring Street is the main shopping area for groceries,marine supplies and hardware. Shoreline dining choic-es abound with many ethnic cuisines, including Chinese,Italian, Mexican and Thai, along with pub and tavernfood.

One of our favorites is a Friday Harbor institution.Herb’s Tavern, the oldest tavern in town, provides a smoke-free environment in a comfortable, beach-bar setting. Itsceiling is decorated with orange life rings and inflatablebeer paraphernalia. The menu includes the Hippie Burger,Cow-Dipper and Pile-O-Fries.

For provisioning, King’s Market carries about every-thing you might need, including excellent fresh vegeta-bles and meats and a great selection of wine and cheese.Upstairs is King’s Marine Supply store with clothing, fish-ing gear, boat parts, books and charts, or any last-minuteaccessories.

Shopaholics will love the galleries featuring local artistsand native art, clothing, books and wine shops that arespread throughout this charming seaside community.

The Whale Museum on the hill above the marina isconsidered one of the finest museums of its kind in theworld. It’s housed in a quaint two-story farmhouse whereyou can learn just about everything you’d ever want toknow about orcas, dolphins, porpoises and whales.

Port of Friday Harbor is a great place to visit, attract-ing boaters from all over the West Coast with its diver-sity of offerings.

During our last stay at Dawsons,we watched in amazement while RobBachen — who, with his wife, Nola,runs Dawsons, which has been in thefamily since 1954 — raised lumberonto the dock using a derrick he hadmade himself out of thick, long logs.It was like watching history, and wewere mesmerized.

My husband, John, and I have beencrossing Queen Charlotte Sound foryears. Whenever I asked John wherehe wanted to go, he always said,“Rivers Inlet,” which, in its heyday,was a beehive of activity with some30 canneries and many, many fish-ing boats. In fact, the first time we

DESPITE THE APPEARANCE OF THE OCCASIONAL SEAPLANE or heli-copter, visiting Dawsons Landing in British Columbia is like tak-ing a step back in time, to when there was no machinery, onlyhard work and ingenuity to keep things going. Boaters tie up toloops of rope that are set into the dock rather than to the usualcleats or bull rails. This is similar to Petersburg, Alaska; although,when we docked, there wasn’t even a rope, so we jury-rigged a rope

went to Rivers Inlet was the day itwas closed to commercial fishing,about 15 years ago. There were a lotof unhappy fishermen — the end ofan era. They were kind to us, though,and we enjoyed hearing their storiesand watching them mend their nets,placed over sawhorses along the dock.For those of us who whine when theremote is too far away, the hands-onnature of the work at Dawsons wasa revelation.

GETTING THEREDawsons Landing is a wonderful

stop at Rivers Inlet, our favorite, espe-cially after completing the BigCrossing — Queen Charlotte Sound,one of the two open-ocean crossingsnecessary to get to Alaska. For methis is the biggest, longest and nor-mally lumpiest part of the trip north.

Many other boaters continue on toSafety Cove, Pruth Bay or Fury Cove.(We met some boaters this year whowent straight from Sullivan Bay toShearwater.) I, however, am totallywiped out after the Big Crossing andcan hardly wait to pull into Rivers

Inlet. When going to Dawsons, look at

your charts for going up DarbyChannel, which cuts off a lot of lumpywater if things are messy in RiversInlet or Fitz Hugh Sound. We usual-ly do the crossing up the mainland

side from Sullivan Bay, Blunden Harbor or Miles Inlet.We always duck into Smith Sound and go to the insideof Table Island each way. If you haven’t tried that, it’s a

great way to get a break. Wewatch the tides and go on a ris-ing tide to limit the outgoingtide meeting the incomingswells. We also watch for thecurrents to be close to slack atNakwato Rapids as we passthem. A big ebb can make amess there if you are using themainland route.

The Bachens operate a greatgeneral store with everythingyou could possibly want. It’sbeen there for more than 65years and is the gatheringplace for locals. They alsohave fuel, charts, fishing licens-es and any little doodad orthingamajig for your boat. Roband Nola know what they aredoing and can set you up withanything you might need.

Wildlife around Dawsons is abundant. Whale watch-ing is popular, as is fishing. Chances are good you’ll seeorcas, dolphins and bears. And chances are better than

good that you’ll see eagles soaring across the sky, whichcity folk apparently don’t get to experience. We caughta clip of “Live with Regis and Kelly” on ABC in whichKelly was in Nova Scotia, and she was very excited aboutseeing her first eagle in the wild. I guess the Northwestis a bit different than New York City.

One of the things my husband and many other fish-ing enthusiasts like is that once you cross Cape Cautionthe fishing gets better. Plus, the regulations change, allow-ing you to keep more fish — lingcod, salmon and rockcod regulations ease quite a bit. John has caught a 25-pound king salmon and an 18-pound Coho salmon dur-ing his days on the water. We’ve heard of someone land-ing a 72-pound salmon around Dawsons. And it’s notuncommon to snag Dungeness crabs as big as 9 inchesacross.

Dawsons has almost everything you could wish for:an extensive grocery store, fishing tackle (the best betweenPort Hardy and Shearwater), showers, laundry, a liquorstore, a post office and three cabins with kitchenettes.The best part is the laid-back friendliness of Rob andNola, and a place to stretch our legs and walk our dog,Lady. Power is limited, but we have been fortunate to get15 amp power at times. And anyway, you shouldn’t expecttoo much when you’re stepping back in time.

The upper cockpit is 98 square feetof gathering and entertaining space.It has a hinged helm console with aStidd captain’s seat to starboard anda curved companion lounge setteewith a swivel seat to port. The helmconsole is large enough for two bigdisplays. A wet bar also inhabits theupper cockpit, and there is a hatchfor engine-space access.

Another cockpit, down a coupleof steps, provides 95 square feet ofroom for the fishing enthusiasts inthe group. Options like rod holdersand rocket launchers on the fisher-man’s hardtop and a fighting chair areavailable, as is a 50-gallon baitwell.Cruisers likely will nix the baitwelland opt for the rear-facing fold-downlounge to provide more seating. Theother hardtop option includes sideenclosures and a skylight — definite

cruiser choices.Belowdecks, teak is everywhere.

The warm wood dominates this havenfor dining and relaxation. The cabi-nets and bulkheads are solid teak,while the sole is a teak-and-holly com-bination. The master stateroom is for-ward, and the guest quarters — withbunks — are to port. The U-shapedlounge is situated around a high-lowgloss table for dining, and the loungeconverts to a double lower berth, whilethe backrest actually converts to apullman berth. Six people can sleepcomfortably on this 43-footer. ASharp Aquos 32-inch flat-screen TVand a Bose DVD/CD/stereo make upthe entertainment system.

On the performance front, thetwin Cummins QSM11 diesels, 715hp each, can push the boat to justover 40 mph. According to Tiara

specs (from a sea trial held beforethe hardtop was installed), the opti-mum cruise speed for the 4300 is inthe 2000-2300 rpm range, where theboat makes 31.4-36.9 mph. Cut thatspeed to 17 mph, and the fuel burnis cut almost in half, to 21.2 gph, from41.5 gph at 31.5 mph. That top speedwill get fishing enthusiasts to any cov-eted waterhole in a hurry, and itshould satisfy any kids on board —and the kids at heart — who wantto go faster.

As a replacement for the popular4200, this new flagship is sure toplease a wide range of discriminat-ing boaters.

What questions should a broker ask me, as a prospec-tive buyer, to show he has my best interests at hear t?

When working with new buyers, the most important thingfor us is to match them up with the right boat, not tojust sell them something out of our inventory. We askthem a lot of questions like: How are you going to useyour boat? How many people will be with you? Will yoube spending nights aboard? Are you going to fish or dive?How far will you be going when you go out? Are you look-ing for speed or economy?

These questions often lead to others and open the door

to good communication. Buying a boat is a big purchaseand must be right the first time. If there is a boat showcoming up, we will accompany them if we can, or, if not,we ask them to make a list of all the features they likeabout different boats, and then we try to match them allup in one boat. It is important that both the husbandand the wife are happy — kids are usually just happy tohave a boat!

We try to be as informative as we are inquisitive. Ourwebsite offers a lot of information about what to expectfrom the purchase process for both buyers and sellers,as well as customer reviews. We also offer a free day witha licensed captain for all of our buyers to make sure theyare comfortable on the water. We sell to a lot of first-timebuyers, and this is a requirement from the insurance com-panies. We believe that knowledge equals safety, and webelieve in safety first.

She was ordered by hercurrent owner after owning two other yachts - a 530 Carver Voyager and a 570 Carver Voyager.

Highlights include Mitsubishi Gyro Stabilization, Raymarine G & E Series Electronics,Redundant Radars (a 10 KW and a 4 KW open array) and a Seafari Watermaker. She is owned by a LimitedLiability Company and depending on your needs and desires, you may buy the LLC.
