Despite the cancellations of most major regattas in the region due to COVID-19, sailors are getting back on the water to race — virtually. The pandemic has driven hundreds of thousands of racers to the virtual sailing game, Virtual Regatta Inshore, where local and remote racers can compete online.

Virtual Regatta Inshore dates back to 2015, when its French creators added it to their existing O� shore sailboat racing simulator. The game allows hundreds of thousands of sailors to race in coastal regattas online and test their mettle against both their local competitors down at the clubhouse and the very best sailors in the world.

Finally a boat BY Northwest boaters FOR Northwest boaters. Designed by renowned naval architect Howard Apollonio and overseen by Vic Parcells and his Northwest-based team. We started from scratch with brand-new tooling, building these boats with state of the art, all vacuum-infused deck and hull. This fi rst boat came out great, and is fully deserving of Howard’s signature.

The new Apollonian 52 has a 16’ 8” beam, great walk-arounds, with a massive interior, three huge staterooms, three heads, a day head in the pilothouse, and an engine room to be marvelled at. Finally, a new boat to replace your Meridian, Navigator, or Carver, but all-new from the keel up. We will have three boats available over the next six months.

The Apollonian 52 will be here at Crow’s Nest YachtsSeattle on South Lake Union until the end of July.

JUST ARRIVED: APOLLONIAN YACHTS 52

It’s here.

NWY I grew up on farm. Well, not really a “farm farm,” but we had a horse, some ducks and chickens, a goat or two, and some llamas. Our home was near Martha Lake, which is just 20 miles north of downtown Seattle. Today, the

area is considered a suburb of Seatt le, but back then, with pastures and animals running about, it was the deep country in our minds. My Mom felt strongly that all her ani-mals should have water to play in and she always had a kiddy pool set up just for the animals. When my Dad suggested we get a boat (so we could play, too), I remember that she wasn’t too keen on the idea at fi rst. With two adults and four kids, where were the goats supposed to sit? We eventually got the boat. Though the farm animals weren’t invited, my Mom even-tually came around and she enjoyed the time on the water a lot. During the past couple of crazy and downright tumultuous months, I’ve been thinking a lot about the farm, my family, the long summer days when we kids would leave the house in the morning and hear our Mom saying, “Be home before din-ner!” as the screen door quickly slammed shut behind us. Those were the days. Fast forward 40-plus years and here we are. Mask wearing, sanitizer carrying communities with a new layer of angst due to a systemic imbalance of social equality that permeates all corners of the globe. When we kids would bicker or we were upset about something, my Mom would often say, “Treat each other how you want to be treated,” and that generally did the trick; whatever the circumstance.

Many of us have been through the ringer in recent months, carrying on as best we can in a whirlpool of social unrest and tension. Our kids have participated in virtual gradu-ation ceremonies. The Pacifi c Northwest’s best summer rendezvous and sailboat racing events, like Race Week, are cancelled. We’ve missed our friends and hanging out on our boats. Yet, July has arrived and fi nding some water to play in (whether on a SUP board, kayak, canoe, luxury yacht, sail, fi shing or ski boat) is as important as an ice cube in your sweet tea. To inspire your water pursuits, you’ll fi nd that there is something for everyone inside these pages. You’ll read about North-west Yachting columnist Margaret Pommert, who was recently awarded the 2020 Boat US National Women’s Sailing Association Leadership in Women's Sailing Award for excellence in enriching the lives of women (pages 22 & 51). Margaret is an inspiration for all women in the marine industry who strive to make inroads in equality. We’ll also take you into the world of Virtual Regatt a, a sailboat racing program (as featured on this month’s cover and on page 54) that has some of the area’s most competitive sailors engaged and inspired. Missy Gervais shares a feature about medical evacuation insur-ance and other emergency considerations to think about when cruising (page 60) and we introduce you to the Cantius 46 and the Melges 15 in our New Arrivals section (page 34) and so much more. Now is a really good time to spend time with your quarantine family or a couple of your close friends and play on the water while the days are long and the breeze is warm. And while you’re out there, treat others as you’d like to be treated, and remember to be home before dinner!

The Seattle skyline just got a little more interesting, in large part due to Sailing Seattle’s recent new boat wrap of the 70’ Maxi Class S/V Obsession featuring orca whales. The LaMarche family owns both Obsession and the 70 foot Santa Cruz Neptune's Car, which comprise Seattle Sailing's charter fleet on Pier 56. Vinyl wraps are gaining popularity as boat owners look for alternatives to more expensive bottom and hull painting. There is also the added benefit of creating custom graphics, as was done

with Obsession. "We're not doing it if it isn't whales," said Joey LaMarche, during the planning phase of their boat wrap. He joked about the number of paying clients asking if they would see whales on their charter excursions. "We all love orcas," he adds. "And prior to Sea World, Pier 56 was the very first location where Orca whales were held in captivity. Behind the project was Brad Cole of Prism Graphics in Seattle. Brad and his crew recently did a gorgeous boat wrap of Neptune’s Car in a solid color, and approached the LaMarche family with

the idea to do Obsession; this time with a spiced up graphic treatment. June would typically be the start of Seattle Sailing’s busy tourist season, but due to COVID-19 and the resulting charter business slowdown, the LaMarche family decided the time was right. The artwork was designed by internationally recognized graffiti artist Sean Griffin, based out of Oakland, California. With strong ties to Prism Graphics, Griffin went about the creation of the orca scene and brought it to life in the vinyl panels. The entire wrap took just three days and Obsession was back on the water. Boat wrap technology has come a long way in providing an alternative to paint. For starters, the cost to paint Obsession would be roughly $50,000. The vinyl wrap, on the other hand, costs around $15,000 and has a life expectancy of 8-10 years. As with Obsession, the vinyl is printed on 54” panels, making it very easy to just replace a panel when and if damage occurs. If you want to check out the new resident orcas in Seattle, book a day sail or two-hour sunset sail with Seattle Sailing. Visit sailingseattle.comfor more information.

Prism Graphics Brad Cole works on Obsession's new look at CSR Marine in Seattle. Vinyl wraps allow for meticulously detailed designs to be applied in a cost eff ective and durable way, but they do require care to apply. Learn more at prismgraphics.com.

COVID-19 Crisis Leads to Rise in Boat SalesBy Randy Woods

As we cross the halfway point in this diffi cult year, the boating industry may have found an un-expected silver lining for 2020: A signifi cant rise in boat sales as the weather gets warmer. While most of us have spent the spring huddled inside and cut off from social gatherings, the arrival of summer has fed a new interest in “staycations” on the water rather than airplane trips to far-off locales. “We’ve never been so busy,” said Dan Krier, Vice President of yacht sales for Seattle’s Marine Servicecenter broker-age. “Things always get busy

at this time of year, but we’ve never seen this kind of activity before. The volume of sales is greater, and the inquiries have been way higher.” Krier estimated that sales at Marine Servicecenter have risen by 30% over the same period last year. Much of this increase, he said, stems from a rise in interest from fi rst-time buyers who are using the excuse of COVID-19 to delay air travel for family vaca-tions and take advantage of the social-distancing advantages of boat ownership. However, information from the Washington Department of

Licensing (DOL) tells a slightly diff erent story. Statewide fi g-ures for May 2020, show a total new and used boat sales of $52.1 million on 1,157 units purchased in the state. This is a distinct improvement over April’s dismal sales of just $20.6 million on just under 300 units sold. The May 2020 figures, however, are still far less than the May 2019 pre-COVID totals of $79.1 million in sales, based on 1,440 units sold. Even though the May 2020 fi gures dipped year-over-year compared to May 2019, there was a sharp increase from the

very poor sales from April, per-haps due to a combination of pent-up demand from delayed purchases from April and the traditional rise in sales typically seen in May, DOL noted. There are storm clouds on the horizon of this prett y pic-ture, Krier cautioned. “We’re concerned about what could happen if there is a resurgence in COVID-19 cases,” he said.

“We could start seeing more customers willing to sit on the sidelines until next year to make purchasing decisions. And any scientist you talk to today says we are likely to see a second wave of infections this Fall.” Adding to this problem is a lack of inventory coming from boat manufacturers during the coronavirus shutdowns this spring. Companies in Europe and the U.S. have been closed since March, slowing production even though demand for new boats is on the rise. Krier said the delays may continue into the fall months, as many boat orders made last August have been hampered by supply-chain bottlenecks. Marine surveys worldwide have also been signifi -cantly delayed, which may lead to cancellations of some orders. Meanwhile, Marine Servi-cecenter is now open “by ap-pointment only,” while summer boat shows are being conducted online, which is changing the way boats are being sold in

Nautical News The Latest on the Northwest Boating Scene

Social distancing may have put large in-person boat shows on hold, but "virtual" shows have proliferated and customers have been able to check out vessels in person using distanced methods and virtual tools. Buyers are very eager to get out on the water.

the Northwest. “The boating business is being conducted in a fashion we’ve never seen before, and it may not all be COVID-related,” Krier said. “Some of this might become permanent.” John Dumas, director of op-erations at the Port of Anacortes, recently told KOMO News that the port remained busy all spring, despite the coronavirus shutdowns, partially because the marina industry was considered an “essential business,” as long as it adopted state guidelines for social distancing protocols. The trend also appears to be growing nationwide, as well. In a recent statement from the Marine Retailers Association of America (MRAA), the group said, “Dealers across the country are reporting some of the busiest

seasons yet, with some sett ing records.” MRAA also reported that interest in boats of up to 30 feet in length has risen this spring, citing the ease with which social distancing can be maintained on watercraft. Another May study on sum-mer travel preferences made by GasBuddy.com said that 36% of nationwide respondents were canceling trips that require fl y-ing, while 24% plan to make shorter trips by distance, which can only help the boating indus-try. While MRAA said it was too early to provide reliable estimates for spring/summer boat sales, it stated that “we are optimistic that boating is uniquely positioned as an ideal antidote to fi ght COVID-19.”

Seattle-based Margaret Pom-mert has been named recipient of the 2020 BoatUS/National Women’s Sailing Association (NWSA) Leadership in Women's Sailing award. The award annu-ally recognizes an individual with a record of achievement in inspiring, educating, and enriching the lives of women through sailing. “Margaret has been called ‘a force of nature’ for her enthusi-asm and eff ectiveness in gett ing more women on the water,” said NWSA president Debbie Hunts-man. “She encourages women to step up to new responsibilities

and to expand their capabilities, confi dence, and boating hori-zons.” Huntsman also praised Pommert for her impressive, “forward-thinking mentoring and online learning opportuni-ties for bringing more women sailors forward as certifi ed in-structors and licensed mariners.” A Pacifi c Northwest native, Pommert is an instructor for the American Sailing Association, a U.S. Sailing certifi ed instructor and holder of a 100-ton U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain’s license. For many years, she taught sailing in California on dinghies, keelboats, cata-marans, and monohulls, and she teaches both online and at a variety of locations in the Pacific Northwest. Pommert also works for the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Mary-land, teaching new keelboat instructors. San Juan Sailing and Yachting named her 2019 Instructor of the Year. Beyond her teaching achieve-ments, Pommert skippered an all-woman J/105 sailing team that twice won a fundraising regatt a for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. She was part of the only all-woman U.S. team at the 2018 J/22 International Midwin-ter Championship Regatt a, co-led a fl otilla up the Inside Passage to Alaska fi ve times, and sailed across the Pacifi c Ocean. In addition to writing a monthly column for women sailors in the pages of this magazine, Pommert created the free boating education website Seattleonthewater.com, and serves on The Sailing Founda-tion’s Executive Committee, where she is the organization’s Off shore Safety at Sea training organizer. Pommert has also served as a member of the Wash-ington State Boating Programs Advisory Committee, which provides recommendations on ways to enhance boating safety and evaluates grants on boating access infrastructure.

In Memoriam: Brion Toss, 1951-2020

World-famous master rigger, author, knot expert, and wooden boat aficionado, Brion Toss, passed away from natural causes at his Port Townsend, Washing-ton, home on June 6. He was 69. His rigging shop, Brion Toss Yacht Riggers, located in Port Townsend’s historic Point Hudson Marina, has always been known as the place to hear Toss’ many stories about work-ing aloft on wooden ships, punctuated by his frequent, booming laughter. A native of landlocked Kentucky but raised in Seatt le, Toss developed a love of knots as a youth, which drew him to the world of rigging and made him a master of The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots and Rope-work over the past 40 years. At the fi rst Wooden Boat Festival, Toss met Nick Benton, who taught him the many techniques of rigging. Benton, Toss once said, also taught him the art of “thinking like a rigger.” Over the years, Toss be-friended Emiliano Marino, owner of the Artful Sailor nautical supply shop in Port Townsend. The two rented a loft above Anacortes City Hall, where Marino made sails and Toss constructed complex rig-ging. In between, they wrote books, with Toss publishing The Complete Rigger’s Apprentice in 1984, followed closely by Ma-rino’s, The Sailmaker’s Appren-tice. Today, Rigger’s Apprentice is considered an authoritative

text on rigging and a must-read for anyone interested in wooden ships. Toss’ encyclopedic knowledge allowed him to travel the world, rigging all types of ships and passing on his exten-sive knowledge in workshops and classes. Toss also acted as an instructor for the U.S. Coast Guard, among other organiza-tions. His close friends say he valued the self-suffi ciency in sailing, and taught skills nec-essary for sailors to anticipate and solve their own problems. In an obituary writt en in Port Townsend’s Rainshadow Journal, his friend Karen Sul-livan described Toss as “a musician, poet, writer, teacher, voracious reader of literature, and a terrible punster. Called the Godfather of Rigging, Mister Knot, and the John Prine of Rigging, he had a lifelong fascination with good knots, not just for their utility, symmetry, or strength, but also for the sheer joy of their mathematical complexity.”

In September 2017, Toss released a collec-tion of life stories about rigging ships in an e-book titled Falling. Here, you see his care-fully honed sense of humor, mixed with a serious reverence for rigging work. In the

fi nal chapter, he writes, “If you huddle in a safe space, you might live longer, but you will not be fulfi lled. Risk your life, at some point, to some extent. Do it with enough training and gear that your chances of survival are excellent. But do something that will let you know how close death is, and how amazing life is.” In 2019, Toss was inducted into the Maritime Hall of Fame for his work carrying forward the traditional art of rigging.

Toss leaves behind his wife, Christian Gruye, and his children. A celebration of Toss’ life is being planned for a future date. His family has created a Facebook page called “Brion Toss Life Memories,” so friends and community members can share stories and memories of his life.

Coast Guard Calls for EPIRBRegistration

By Randy Woods

In a call to increase water safety dur-ing the summer season, the U.S. Coast Guard has issued a special local notice to mariners (LNM) in the Pacifi c Northwest asking boaters to update registrations of their emergency position indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs) to help improve response times for distress crews. The special LNM was issued by the commander of the Coast Guard's 13th District covering Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana — and contains a wide variety of safety, boating, and gen-eral maritime information. In addition, the Coast Guard district issues a weekly LNM containing navigation information, as well as lists of defi ciencies in aids to navigation, reports of channel conditions, obstructions, hazards to navigation, dangers, anchorages, restricted areas, marine events, information on bridge maintenance work, and similar items.

NORTHWESTDRIVING The Coast Guard also urged boaters to make sure their EPIRB data is as up to date as possible. The EPIRB satellite beacon, which is activated either automatically when it is submerged in water or manually by a member of the vessel crew, alerts the Coast Guard that the vessel is in distress and requires a search and rescue response. These critical alerts can often mean the diff erence between the life and death, so it is vital to ensure that all beacons are properly registered and updated if contact information changes. Otherwise, faulty EPIRBs can impede the response time of search and rescue teams. In addition to having an up-to-date EPIRB, the Coast Guard said it is always a best practice to prepare a fl oat plan detailing the intentions of each voyage, whether short or long, with a friend or emergency contact. “While we don’t keep fl oat plans for you, we do recommend that you keep your loved ones informed, especially if they are a part of your EPIRB registration,” said Scott Giard, Search and Rescue Program Manager for the 13th Coast Guard District. “If your family can confi rm that you are underway and provide a general location, it helps our crews get to you that much faster if you are in actual distress.”

Highfi eld, Pure Watercraft Form RIB Partnership

At the end of May, aluminum-boat giant Highfi eld Boats formed a strategic partnership with Seatt le-based electric outboard boat maker Pure Watercraft to collaborate on the design of a new series of environmentally friendly, all-electric rigid infl atable boats (RIB). The new series will come in the form of two models: the 11’10” Pure Watercraft by Highfi eld Classic 360 and the 12’6” Pure Watercraft by Highfi eld Classic Deluxe 380. Each of the RIBs incorporate the silent run-ning, zero-emissions Pure Outboard elec-tric propulsion package, which produces the equivalent of 50 horsepower. With a two-batt ery-pack system, both RIBs have top speed of 21.7 knots and a range of 14 miles at top speed. The cruising speed is about 14 knots, with a range of 17 miles,

and at trolling speed —2.6 knots—the range increases to 68 miles. The new series is “designed to aid the environment at the same time they are providing owners with hours of boating fun,” said Highfi eld Boats General Man-ager Tom Watson. “Whether they are used as primary boats or as tenders, these silent, zero-emissions, virtually maintenance-free RIBs are sure to deliver a premium boating experience.”

The Classic 360 model will have a dry weight of 218 pounds and a total price of $24,000, while the Classic Deluxe 380 will have a dry weight of 375 pounds, retailing for $29,000. Both boat packages will be exclusively distributed by Pure Watercraft. Pre-orders are now being taken, with a delivery expected by early 2021. For more information, please visit purewatercraft.com/complete-electric-boats.

The new Highfi eld RIBs will feature a zero-emissions package with a top speed of 21.7 knots, with a 14 mile range at top speed.

Marine Servicenter Sells BoatyardBy Randy Woods

After 43 years in the boatyard business, Marine Servicenter, your Pacifi c Northwest Jean-neau, Lagoon, Four Winns, and Island Packet dealer, has de-cided to concentrate solely on selling new and used boats. Jim and Jeanna Rard, founders of Marine Servicenter, have sold the Anacortes boatyard por-

tion of their business to Seatt le Yachts, but have retained the boat sales offi ce in Anacortes and Seatt le. “We will continue to off er the same great after-sales service to our clients by contracting yard services yet continue to manage the details and quality,” said Jim Rard. “We are excited to be

able to concentrate 100% of our company eff orts on matching new and experienced boaters with just the right boat!” said Dan Krier, Marine Servicenter Yacht Sales Vice-President. Jim and Jeanna have had a boatyard for 43 years, both in Seatt le and Anacortes. “We are grateful that Seatt le Yachts has decided to retain the same crew that our boating clients have been accustomed to in Ana-cortes,” said Jeanna. “It should be a very smooth transition.” Marine Servicenter’s sales offices will remain strong and stable with top-notch sales staff and a new boat service manager at 2442 Westlake Ave-nue N in Seattle and 700 28th St. in Anacortes.

Marine Servicenter will no longer operate a boatyard in Anacortes, but the sales offi ce will remain.

Wonderland Gear Exchange Now Open in Fremont


Wonderland Gear Exchange, the outdoor consignment shop that fi rst opened in 2018, has moved from Ballard to the nearby Fremont neighbor-hood in Seatt le. The company announced their move plans this past February, prior to the COVID-19 shutdowns. While the pandemic derailed some of their remodeling and opening plans, they’re now open for business in their new space. For boaters looking to consign or buy gear, Won-derland is worth the visit. With COVID restrictions in place, they’re inviting up to 12 customers to shop in the

Ahoy there Schelleen, My husband and I enjoy your magazine. Although we live up on Orcas Island, we lived aboard at Stimson for fi ve years. Nevertheless, we do make it into “town” to drop in at Signature to see Tori and crew, and we also touch bases with Nigel for the bigger repair jobs. But I’m e-mailing you in hopes that you will forward the two attached photos to Melissa Gervais. We too have searched for the boxed wine that can be our summer cruising wine. And this year we found an inexpensive one that is more than acceptable at PCC.

Best regards, Steve Lelievre

Hi Schelleen, We recently received a text message from a friend of ours in Seattle that our podcast was featured in your April 2020 issue, “Litzenberger’s Sailing Podcast.” Just wanted to reach out and say thank you! We weren’t aware you guys were going to list us and we’re so happy you did!

Appreciate it, Breena Litzenberger

Hello Nigel, Former owner of Penalty Box here. Hope all is well. I just read your article in NW Yachting - nicely done as always! We now have a Hampton 490 that has a tank of diesel, 150 gallons, that came with the boat 18 months ago. I suspect the fuel is 3-4 years old and this tank is isolated from the other 600 gallons of fuel at the manifold. I have not tried to burn it yet. I would like to get this fuel polished and try to burn it off this summer. Any sug-gestions on a mobile polishing service? The boat is in Bellevue.

Thanks, Jim MitchellJim, Regarding your email for cleaning the fuel tank, unfortunately there are less and less people willing to entertain recreational marine. There’s just more money in going to a fi sh boat and cleaning a 6,000 gallon tank! However, Precision Fuel Solutions (Les Newell) is still doing that, and we’ve used him a few times in the yard recently. With 150 gallons, the question really becomes if it is worth keeping the fuel? Polishing the fuel and then cleaning the tank makes sense, and I would suspect a fuel additive might make the fuel usable, but over time fuel does lose some of its potential. Check out this link: precisionfuelsolutions.com.

Regards, Nigel Barron

Dear Schelleen, Northwest Yachting is truly the best boating magazine I have ever seen. And well worth the subscription fee.

Jim Houston

Dear Northwest Yachting, I’m writing to express my surprise and disappointment in the results of the NMTA Board elections. It was exciting to hear that your Publisher, Michelle Zeasman, was in the running for a board position and I enjoyed seeing her campaign notices in your maga-zine. As a lifetime boater in the region, I see alot of women out there on the waterways, and am surprised that an organization like the NMTA (which professes to represent the boating industry) has no women on their board! Where are all the women?! You’re a champion with women boaters like me, and the NMTA let a super qualifi ed woman (with a great platform) get away.

Cantius 46 There are just some boats that seem absolutely perfect for the Pacific Northwest, and the Cantius 46 is one of those boats. Whether you’re cruising around Lake Washington, adventuring in the San Juan Islands, or headed up the Inside Passage to Alaska, you’ll be impressed with the Cantius range and sea-keeping attributes and amenities. The Cantius 46 improves upon the Cantius 45 model, which claimed the highest unit sales nationwide from 2013

to 2019 for the Wisconsin-based Cruiser Yachts. Many who know her might say that the reason for her popularity is her efficient layout, site lines from the main cabin while underway, and overall color palette and build quality. The wide-open coupe layout provides comfortable seating areas easily for 15 adults, making her an ideal choice for couples or families who enjoy entertaining. The galley is spacious and includes all the amenities you need to prepare a delicious

meal whether you’re tucked away in a serene and peaceful harbor or making your way to a new destination that you’re discovering for the very first time. Whether indoors or out, you’ll be able to host great parties and meals as the Cantius 46 also has ample cockpit seating, a cockpit fridge, and grill. The full beam mid-ship master features a walk-around queen berth, large opening windows to flood the space with natural light, and a dedicated ensuite head. The

VIP stateroom feels equally spacious and luxurious for your overnight guests. Everyone will feel right at home. The Cantius roots originated well over 100 years ago when two brothers (the Thompson brothers) founded the Thompson Boat Company in 1904. In the 1950s, the name changed to Cruisers Inc. about the same time that the boat builders moved from wood to fi berglass construction. In the early 1990s, K.C. Stock, who was born and raised in the Oconto area in Wisconsin, saw the potential for opportunity and so he purchased the company and changed the name to Cruisers Yachts. He still owns the company and Cruisers Yachts is considered one of the highest quality yacht builders in the United

States. In 2011, the Cantius series was born. Cantius was the surname of K.C.’s father. Whether you’re docked or underway, the Cantius 46 is designed to create memories with family and friends. With a cruising speed of 25 knots, she’s a perfect fit for those interested in cruising long distances. The blend of elegance and practicality also makes her the perfect boat to host a dock party, delivering a favorable impression for all who step on board.

The Melges 15 is here! Since its founding in the 1940s, Melges Performance Sailboats’ manifesto, “Get out there and push forward,” has permeated their boat designs. With the release of the Melges 15, young or old racers alike will have a new toy to play with that is more aff ordable (and even sportier) with the expansion into a dinghy line that features an assymetrical spinnaker. Designed by Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design and built by Melges, the new double-handed Melges prioritizes stability, comfort, ease of use, and performance. “The Melges 15 creates a clear pathway for junior sailors to get started and stay excited about sailing while also being comfortable and accessible enough for adults to learn, race, or cross-train,” said Harry Melges III. The Melges 15 stable hull shape and ergonomic cockpit make it a suitable layout

for adult racing and educational sailing. Easy conversion from a club confi guration (non-spinnaker) to a one-design setup provides more versatility to club programs and options for individual owners. With the main design goals focused on performance in a variety of conditions, the boat features a narrow overall beam and a fl at cross-section shape for stability, righting moment, and ease of planing. For a more forgiving feel upwind and to navigate larger sea states, the Melges 15 has just the right amount of fore and aft rocker. Melges conducted extensive research and product testing, factoring in cockpit depth, backbone height, and fl oor plan for the layout. The deeper cockpit takes the load off the sailor’s knees helping them feel locked into the boat while the high boom and gnav vang system work together

to make the boat easier to maneuver. The asymmetric spinnaker off ers an additional performance element while the single-pull launch and retrieval system makes handling the sail easy and fast. The Melges 15 offers performance, comfort, and stability in one sleek package.

The “E” in the 70-E built by Florida-based Marlow Yachts stands for “Explorer,” which is exactly what NordFjord represents. This pilothouse motoryacht has been a terrific family boat in the Northwest since 2002. Built with a spacious open design, it’s easy to see how adults and kids of all ages can move easily through the galley, three staterooms, and three full heads and one half-head. Powered by two reliable CAT 3406E diesel inboard 800HP engines (re-cently surveyed) and twin 20kW Northern Light generators, she cruises at 17 knots but can kick it up to 22 for a sprint. At full beam midship, the master suite features a king-size bed and an office. The boat also includes a roomy VIP suite, an airy salon and wet bar, and separate bunk-bed quarters for up to three crew, which can also double as the perfect kids’ room

in the stern. Heat and air conditioning are available throughout the yacht. The teak and holly flooring in most areas lends an elegance to the interior. The staterooms come with flat-panel TVs, DVD players, and stereo systems. NordFjord has a welcoming open galley area, suitable for anything from quick snacks to gourmet dinners for 12, complete with a full-size oven, a four-burner glass cooktop, a Fisher Paykel dishwasher, and a dual sink with garbage disposal. The galley is also open to the salon and pilothouse, so the host never has to be separated from guests. NordFjord is bristling with all-new elec-tronics updated in 2019 to get you there safely and in style whether the voyage is long or short. The hull features a composite structure of Kevlar and vinyl ester resins, along with core-cell foam vacuum bagged

for additional strength and insulation, so it can handle any rough seas, especially with Marlow’s patented Velocijet strut keels. NordFjord has a Portuguese bridge, high bulwarks (good for keeping kids and pets inside the boat), and windows strengthened with a 3M hurricane shield. Designed for long-term cruising, NordFjord is a solid and safe cruising yacht that’s big enough for the whole family.

Looking for a sport boat but craving the luxury yachting lifestyle? This 2019 Four Winns Horizon 290 may be the hybrid boat you’re looking for. Made with a fiberglass Deep Stable-Vee hull for added comfort, this nimble pleasure craft can raise eye-brows with its Four Winns exclusive chaise-lounge seating with adjustable headrests in an oversized open bow design. It can also satisfy the speed demon inside us all, with twin gasoline-powered 300 XXL Mercury outboards that can achieve top speeds of 45 knots. The 290 Horizon is equipped with an anchor locker, a bow an-chor roller, and a washdown system, as well as navigation lights, stainless steel cleats,

and rub rails. The hull is also strengthened with a fiberglass stringer system and has a 21-degree deadrise at the transom. Inside, the boat has a changing room with a full berth, plus an enclosed Vacuflush head and an aft transom shower. Other comfort features include an electrically powered aft lounge seat and an electric helm seat, with large hull win-dows and a walk-thru windshield. For easy access to the water, the boat comes with a low-profile swim platform. To help get the party started, the 290 Horizon also comes equipped with an iPod/MP3 port, a four-speaker stereo setup, and AM/FM/Bluetooth connectivity. With a 10-year hull

warranty, compliance with all U.S. Coast Guard safety standards and certification by the NMMA, this Horizon 290 is the perfect combination of high performance, precise engineering, and fine craftsmanship.

For the Captain

As summer boating season heats up, it’s time to make sure your watercraft are properly stabilized on choppy, crowded waters. With the Seakeeper 1 gyroscopic system, boaters can eliminate up to 95% of boat roll, which will ease the fatigue, anxiety, and seasickness that can come with it. Measuring 22.9 x 23.6 x 15.7 inches, the unit can be installed virtually anywhere onboard 23- to 30-foot boats. At just 365 pounds, it weighs only a small fraction of the boat’s displacement. The new Seakeeper 1 design features a fl ush mount for easy installation and retails for $14,900. Powered exclusively with a 55-amp, 12-volt DC system, the Seakeeper includes a patented cooling system and vacuum encap-sulation that allows the lightweight fl ywheel

to spin at 3x times the speed of other gyro systems, providing ultimate performance in a very small package. Also, because the fl ywheel, bearings, and motor are sealed for life in a vacuum, they are forever isolated from the marine environment. This latest model of Seakeeper also comes with user-friendly, dash-mounted display that can be integrated into your existing dash unit, allowing for superior control with the push of a butt on. Unlike a passively controlled gyro, which must be turned off under rough conditions or high speeds, the Seakeeper is eff ective at any speed and provides stability no matt er what the sea throws at you.

Evin Moore is a freelance writer and regular Northwest Yachting contributor. He grew up in Redmond, Washington, graduated from UW, and looks to get on the water every chance he gets. Say hello at [email protected].

While this summer is likely to be an unprecedented boating season, that doesn’t mean we can’t make the most of it with a little creativity and help from some great apps!

Podcast: Single-Handed Sailing What better way to social distance than by getting into a small sailboat by yourself and setting off on a single-handed sailing adventure? This month’s podcast, Single-Handed Sailing, is the perfect companion to any solo-sailing or small-crew sailing exploits. The show is hosted by Matt Rutherford, who holds several sailing records. He’s best known for his solo, non-stop circumnavigation of both North and South America, which had him leaving from the Annapolis City Docks, heading north, crossing the Northwest Passage through the Bering Sea, heading south until he reached Cape Horn, then back north until he returned to Annapolis ten months after having first departed. In total, Matt spent 309 days on the water and traveled 27,077 miles. Along the way, he had also picked up the record for smallest boat to ever transit the Northwest Passage. With these accomplishments on his resume, Matt is the ideal host for a podcast that covers all things single-handed and short-handed sailing. Episode topics include preparing for trips, detailing specific trips— like sailing from New York to the Azores, interviews with other sailors, onboard equipment discussions, and more. If you want to truly get away from it all, check out the podcast on podcasts.apple.com.

Apps: Marine Ways Even if you’re not planning on any trips through the Northwest Passage, you always need a good chart app to serve as a backup

or primary navigation tool for smaller boats. Marine Ways is a free nautical chart app that uses two different NOAA charts; NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts, NOAA’s latest electronic charting product, and NOAA classic charts, which includes the Day, Dusk, Night, Red, and Gray versions. Routes to destinations can be set up with just a few clicks, and Travel Mode keeps your current location centered so the set route can be followed in real time. Information is displayed about each leg of your journey, including distance, bearings, and start and ending coordinates. Buoys and other obstructions are clearly marked, and the app also provides weather alerts, including rain, snow, hurricanes, and severe thunderstorms. Marine data overlays provide even more information right on the map, from wave height, water surface temperature, wind speeds, and wind gusts.

Check out the Marine Ways app if you’re looking for a convenient backup set of charts, available for free on Android devices.

Apps: Virtual RegattaWhile we may not be able to participate in any sailboat racing at the moment, we can always have a little fun with virtual

racing apps. Even though you may be stuck inside, get a little practice virtually with the Virtual Regatta Inshore/Offshore app, a sailing game that uses real world conditions to dictate what happens during your race. Players can skipper their own boat and choose to participate in real races like the Volvo Ocean Race, the America’s Cup, the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, the Route du Rhum, the Clipper ‘Round the World, and more. At the start of the race, pick out a boat, name it, and outfit it. As you sail your virtual boat, you will need to adjust to real weather conditions, change your sails to deal with wind and weather, and set your course to take advantage of actual wind conditions. The app has over 1 million users and hundreds of thousands will participate in the larger races. If you’d like to do a little sailing from your sofa, check out the Virtual Regatta Inshore/Offshore app, available for free for iOS and Android.

Apps: Survival Guide It never hurts to have a survival manual close by when spending time in the outdoors. Survival Guide is an app that contains

instructions, diagrams, and text on every aspect of surviving outdoors. Topics include the psychology of survival, survival planning and survival kits, basic medicine for all likely injuries, shelter and fi re building skills, how to obtain food, edible and poisonous plants, how to deal with potentially dangerous animals, how to make weapons and tools out of natural materials, specifi c instructions for surviving in water environments such as navigation and signaling for help. The app works anywhere and does not need an internet connection if downloaded. Read it before hand or bring it with you to brush up on when camping. Most of the information is based on the U.S. military survival manual. If you need a compact and practical outdoor manual, check out the Survival Guide app on the app store, free for iOS.

Making the Most of a Strange Summer


Boating with Missy By Melissa Gervais

Missy grew up boating with her family in the Gulf Islands. She works for a yacht services company based in Vancouver, B.C. and boats most weekends from April to October. A self-proclaimed weekend warrior, she enjoys blogging about everything cool for women who boat at missygoesboating.com.

Last week I received an email from a woman who was in the process of buying her fi rst “real” boat, and she wanted some advice. I was reminded of a great quote from historian Jeremy Goldberg who once said, “Courage is

knowing it might hurt and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that’s why life is hard.” I assured her that even though it seemed overwhelming right now, it would be worth it. For me, buying a boat was a big step. Not only was it a lot of money and responsibility, but I grew up on boats where someone else was always in charge. The first thing I did was sign up for the Power Squadron course. It was here where I learned that I had no idea how much I did not know! I highly recommend these classes, and in most cases, the beginner’s course includes the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator’s Certificate, which is mandatory for anyone using a VHF radio. The next great piece of advice is to take experienced boaters with you on your first few excursions. I enrolled my friends Kathy and Dave, and we arranged a week-long trip to Princess Louisa in British Columbia so I could practice everything from Alfa to Zulu. I purchased the boat on a Monday, and we arranged to leave the following Thursday. Before leaving, I visited the Army & Navy Department Store and bought every plastic dish, bowl, and utensil I could find. Next up, sheets, comforters, and pillows. Then off to get a cooler, a crab trap and line. This was followed by a trip to Granville Island for charts, super cute boat shoes and any nautical tchotchke I could get my hands on! The amount of stuff that I put on the boat was impressive, but I should have done my homework. Lesson number one: start with the basics. In the twenty-odd years since that initial shakedown cruise, I have removed most of these original purchases. I don’t like plastic, so I purchased Corelle plates. I like a real wine glass, so I have a quilted box that is strong enough for the worst seas. I perfected what I have on board, how I provision, and the gear that makes my life easier. What works for me may not work for you, but I’d like to share a few of my favorites. One of my favorite pieces of advice is to make sure everything matches. Green and purple towels on a navy boat are going to make it look messy; whereas a matching blue towel, bucket, throw pillow, and tablecloth makes it look like you made an effort. Always match the dock lines and fenders, never let them drag in the water while you are underway—amateur mistake.

I took measurements of the inside of my fridge and purchased storage containers that fi t perfectly. I pre-wash all the vegetables at home before I head out and seal them in containers. They sit side-by-side on the bott om shelf and work as drawers. I also pre-prep, so instead of taking a jar of Caesar salad dressing, I take enough for one or two meals. By doing this prep in advance, I save water on the boat, and there is less garbage. Also, I got tired of taking a whole head of lett uce for a boat ride! I also invested in a good five-day ice cooler with wheels on the back so I could put my waterproof Gill overnight bag on the top, which resulted in not needing a dock cart and make an extra trip. I also purchased inexpensive, dollar store containers that fit exactly in my downstairs freezer so I can make two large ice-blocks for the cooler

while I’m on shore power. I save money by not buying blocks on the dock, and it is one less item to carry to the boat. I like to do my hair and some minimal makeup if I am heading to a dock party, so I bought a train case with a pop-up mirror that holds my hairdryer (with a retractable cord), folding brush, and makeup. It stows away nicely and keeps everything neatly organized. The other time-saving tip is to buy two of ev-erything. Toothpaste, hairspray, eyelash curler, you name it—one for the house and one for the boat. I even have a second-hand laptop and DSLR camera with a telephoto lens that I leave on the boat. It is incredible how often I use both and can simply save my pictures to

an SD card or the cloud. Again, less stuff to pack to the boat. Another item that I can’t live without is my batt ery moni-tor. I use anywhere from 125 to 150 amp-hours per day; my house bank has four AGM batt eries that store a total of 600-amp hours of batt ery power at 12 VDC. To extend their life expectancy, I only deplete them to 50%, which means, I have 300 usable amp-hours (or approximately two days) before running the generator. I could not manage this without a batt ery monitor. Of course, the best items are recommendations from friends such as freeze-dried hash browns, single-serving rosé, solar tea lights, a good knife, odor-free dishcloths, fl oating sunglasses, a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, and Zaal Nofl ex digestor for the head. I could go on, but you get the idea. Please send me your recommendations, and I will make sure to share them. See you on the water!

Looking for good news? I’m at your service. Positivity abounds, I tell you. Whether it’s boat sales’ stats (boat searches are up 128% in May 2020 compared to the same time in 2019) or the bullish attitude of boating’s

country cousin, the RV industry. Take Airstream’s CEO Bob Wheeler who recently said, “One new trend we are seeing is an evolution from ‘work at home’ to ‘work from anywhere’ as RV buyers use their new RVs as their office wherever they are, or wherever they want to be.” Heck, maybe it’s the state’s reopening of boat-ing and boating businesses along with seven counties in Phase Three. Plus, there’s good news for boating coming out of Washington, D.C. Do not adjust your glasses. I am refer-ring to the Great American Outdoors Act, which would permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The stock market is bouncing back. The Anacortes Boat & Yacht Show commenced on June 25 for a two-day run online (the first of its kind). Did I mention that boat ramps are now open in Seattle, which makes it possible for anglers to enjoy recreational shrimping and fishing opportunities? Thank you, Seattle City Council and Mayor Durkan! Before this column becomes an Academy Award acceptance speech, storm clouds are gathering on the horizon, too. Maybe it’s just me, but I seem to contemplate a lot with the phrases “on the one hand” and “on the other.” On the flipside of Mr. Sunshine, I have concerns that 80% of the U.S. thinks that that our country is out of control, according to a June NBC poll. I am not looking forward to a contentious presidential election. There’s the possibility of a COVID-19 spike that looms over the fall and winter flu seasons. There’s record unemployment and underemployment. Oh my. I’m all over the place. What does remain consistent and has proven out since Governor Inslee’s stay at home order on March 25, which eff ectively shut down boating, fi shing, and boating busi-nesses (not to mention travel between the U.S. - Canadian border), is how much change can occur when your agenda item (in this case, boating) latches onto a more powerful voice. This truism motivates me to keep up relationships and turn relationships into friendships. Take boat sales, for example. In what can only be characterized as an in-nocent omission, Washington state brought back car sales on Friday, April 30, but not boat sales. You can imagine my long face on that Friday (but please don’t, as I have a big face in normal times). NMTA President George Harris kicked it into gear. He took to the airwaves on Saturday night on local news about the need for equal footing with our brethren

in the automobile industry. Thanks to NMTA’s rela-tionship with the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA), George showcased our 49-point COVID-19 safety plan on the newscast. I reached out to Governor Inslee’s core team. I reached out to the Washington Retail Association. Come Monday, good news greeted boaters and boat brokers/dealers. We were part of the Phase One reopen-ing, just like car sales! Voila. Of course, this equal footing should have occurred all along, but I was not concerned with why it wasn’t and more curious to gather as many learning lessons as possible, and then share them with you. In no particular order, here are some lessons that I have learned. Out of sight, out of mind. Whether it’s in health care as a patient (my wife’s a nurse) or in politics, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Put another way, make your presence known. There’s a diff erence between being nice and being kind. Kind people are more successful in politics, and I suspect other vocations, too. Outwork your opponent. In this case, the opponent was an error, oversight, omission. The weekend became a weekday, and the hard work paid off when Monday came. Just as the sports radio host Jim Rome would say, “You are the average of the five people you hang out with,” you are also the average of the five associations you are active with. Outside of time as Board Chair of the Big Tent Coalition and Washington Maritime Fed-eration, I have bolted onto influential associations like the Recreational Boating Association of Washington, Washington Retail Association, Anacortes Chamber of Commerce, Association of Washington Business and Downtown Seattle Association. This list changes from time to time. Don’t go it alone. Staff are as important, if not more important, than the elected. In this case, Governor Inslee’s team were the ones crafting this policy so making the case to them was both a more realistic option and important route than trying to get to Governor Inslee. A corollary to this proposition: Relationships in this Zoom world are more important than ever and the fl ip side is true: If a relationship doesn’t already exist, it’s harder to get one established now with everything so virtually dependent. None of these principles should rock your world. It’s just a good reminder that the primer remains the same without or without a pandemic.

It’s hard to believe it’s time to turn the page on another month! We’ve now shifted into the heat of summer and many will connect the dots on what is expected to be a memorable time for Puget Sound Dungeness crab

opportunities. “We should see a season similar to last year, which was fairly good in most areas,” said Don Velasquez, a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) shellfi sh manager. Velasquez has indicated that due to the COVID-19 situation, opening dates below could change, so be sure to check the WDFW website at wdfw.wa.gov for updates. The Dungeness crab season in the Strait of Juan de Fuca east of Bonilla-Tatoosh Island boundary line at Neah Bay (Marine Catch Area 4), Sekiu (5) and Port Angeles (6); the east side of Whidbey Island (8-1 and 8-2); and northern Puget Sound (9) will open July 2 through Sept. 7 (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week). WDFW shellfi sh managers were fi nalizing specifi cs for central and south-central Puget Sound (10 and 11). Both were expected to open July 2 and crabbing to be allowed three days per week (possibly Friday to Sunday or Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) and should last through sometime in August. Hood Canal (12) north of Ayock Point will open July 2 through Sept. 7 (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week). Areas south of Ayock Point are not expected to be open this summer. A section of San Juan Islands (7 South) will open July 16 through Sept. 30 (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week). Another known as “7 North” will be open Aug. 15 through Sept. 30 (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week). Those planning to crab after Labor Day should obtain a winter catch card. Southern Puget Sound (13) is closed this summer to help crab populations rebuild. In 2019, the sport Dungeness crab fi shery landed 1,660,752 pounds (compared to 1,585,956 in 2018 and 1,764,633 in 2017) in all Puget Sound catch areas. A breakdown showed the San Juan Islands catch at 536,597 pounds (537,194 in 2018); east side of Whidbey Island at 735,607 (720,417); central Puget Sound at 47,236 (46,788); northern Puget Sound at 94,078 (95,678); Hood Canal at 77,229 (87,377); and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca at 163,182 (117,939); and western Strait at 6,171 (no data from 2018). The summer — July through September — sport fi shery continues to have the highest participation level with 192,798 catch cards issued in 2019 compared to 23,578 during the winter fi shery.

I The daily limit in Puget Sound is fi ve male Dungeness crab in hard-shell condition with a minimum carapace width of 6¼ inches. Fishermen may also keep six red rock crab of either sex daily. Red rock crab must measure at least 5 inches. For additional details, go to wdfw.wa.gov/fi shing/shellfi shing-regulations/crab. Lastly, before heading out the door, visit the WDFW website at wdfw.wa.gov/fishing for rules on social distancing. If public safety concerns develop, WDFW could close areas to further protect public health and safe resource management.

Nibbles & Bites• Hatchery king fi shing opens July 1 in the Strait of Juan

de Fuca from Sekiu to Port Angeles; south-central Puget Sound from Vashon Island to Tacoma; and the San Juan Islands. Those will be followed by northern and central Puget Sound opening July 16 for hatchery kings.• Southern Puget Sound south of the Narrows

Bridge is open for coonstripe and pink shrimp everyday through October 15. Maximum depth that you can set your pots is 200 feet with a 10 pound per person daily limit.

• The coho fi shery in central Puget Sound is currently open and has been fair to good for fi sh averaging 2 to 4 pounds. Target them mainly in the shipping lanes from Kingston-Apple Tree Point south to Jeff erson Head.

• The Tulalip Bay Bubble Fishery is open each week from 12:01 a.m. Fridays through 11:59 a.m. Mondays only and success has been off and on.

• Southern Puget Sound south of the Narrows Bridge is open for hatchery Chinook and is slow to fair at Point Fosdick and off Fox Island’s east side at Gibson Point, Toy Point and Fox Point.

• On the coast, Chinook and hatchery coho fi shing is open through September 30 at La Push, Westport, and Ilwaco. All ports are open daily for fi shing except Westport where salmon fi shing is allowed Sundays through Thursdays only. As of press time, Neah Bay remained closed due to the COVID-19 issue. Anglers should monitor the WDFW website for updates.

I assumed it was a mistake. The National Women’s Sailing Association called to tell me that I’d has been named recipient of the 2020 BoatUS/National Women’s Sailing Association (NWSA) Leadership in Women’s Sailing

Award. The award annually recognizes an individual with a record of achievement in inspiring, educating, and enriching the lives of women through sailing. Surely, there was a mistake; I’d nominated Carol Hasse, the legendary sailmaker from Port Townsend. As I wrote in a recent column, Carol is one of my own role models as a woman leader in sailing. At fi rst, I just assumed that there’d been a clerical error, as I hadn’t nominated myself, I had nominated Hasse. So, perhaps the person calling me had read the wrong name and phone number from the application.The Leadership in Women’ s Sailing Award began in 1990 and is co-sponsored by NWSA and BoatUS®, the nation’s largest organization of recreational boaters. This annual award recognizes an individual who has a record of achievement in inspiring, educating, and enriching the lives of women through sailing. For the last twenty years, honorees of this award have been legends in women’s sailing in the USA, including: Bernadett e Bernon: Former editor of Cruising World magazine and founding Director of the Cruising World Safety at Sea Institute, which has educated over 15,000 sailors through its seminars. Betsy Alison: The top-ranked U.S. women’s match racer holding 22 national and international titles. As a coach, Alison led the U.S. Disabled/ Paralympic sailing team to a bronze medal. Gail Hine: One of the fi rst female sailors in the U.S. to organize large-scale training events just for women. Her annual convention in Southern California, now in its 30th year, is the largest in the country. Dawn Riley: Named Rolex Yachtwoman of the Year, she is a legend in racing and the fi rst woman to head up an America’s Cup Syndicate (2000), and team captain of the fi rst all-women’s America’s Cup team, America3 (1995). She was the only female crew member on an America’s Cup team in 1992, and she also led the Heineken team, the all-women’s entry in the Whitbread Round the World Race (1993-94). Doris Colgate: Founder of the National Women’s Sailing Association, and President and CEO of Off shore

ISailing School. She has served on the BoatUS National Advisory Council, as well as the Board of Directors and Marketing Committ ee of Sail America, the sailing industry association. I’m just not in the same league as these women and never will be. Debbie Huntsman, president of NWSA explained it to me this way. “This award honors a male or female who has gone beyond competitive racing and leveraged their name, skills, or position in the sailing world to reach out and

enrich other’s lives through sailing.” My nomination came through fellow Northwesterner Nancy Erley, also a past recipient of this honor. “There were so many others who supported your nomination by sending in stories, videos, and quotes that we were overwhelmed,” shared Huntsman. “It would have taken over an hour just to present it all!” Words cannot express how honored I am. Thank you to Nancy Early and the entire Pacifi c Northwest boating community for my nomination, and for your continued support of my eff orts! Part of my joy comes from bringing the att ention of this recognition to the Pacifi c Northwest and the variety of ways that we engage a diverse group of women and men in enjoying recreational

boating in the Pacifi c Northwest. Due to COVID-19, the award was presented via Zoom. “Margaret has been called ‘a force of nature’ for her enthusiasm and eff ectiveness in gett ing more women on the water,” said Huntsman at the presentation. “She encourages women to step up to new responsibilities and to expand their capabilities, confi dence, and boating horizons.” Thank you to everyone for helping me celebrate this honor, and for supporting me to leverage the recognition in my eff orts to expand the opportunities for EVERYONE to enjoy Northwest yachting! Onward! For more information about the 2020 BoatUS/National Women’s Sailing Association (NWSA) Leadership in Women’s Sailing Award, visit bit.ly/2XNAGm6.

Leadership in Women’s Sailing Award

Margaret Pommert is a Puget Sound native who started sailing as a teenager and is now a licensed captain and certifi ed sail and power boating instructor. She’s a leader in the Pacifi c NW community of women who sail and powerboat, a leader with the International O� shore Safety at Sea with Hands-On, Training Organizer for The Sailing Foundation, and co-leader of the annual Waggoner Guide Inside Passage fl otilla to SE Alaska.


Nigel Barron was born in England and developed his sea legs at an early age. He is currently the Project Manager at CSR Marine in Seattle where he has worked for 15 years as a rigger, then an installer, and now in his current role. He is also the captain of Crossfi re, a Reichel-Pugh designed and McConaghy built custom race boat from Seattle.

Well, it’s finally happening. Marinas are opening, restaurants and bars are serving food and drinks, and boating is starting to come back to life. We’re going to head down to Elliott Bay in Seattle for a very informal

and safe Thursday night of sailing. It will obviously be a far cry from the Thursdays of 2019, where we would have 40 people on the boat and a big party afterwards, but at least it’s something. Tom T. asked what he should be looking at/for now that he’s going to start using the boat again. A few months back we went over some things that you could do to your boat even if you’re not leaving the slip: cleaning, organizing, tinkering, etc. Those things should have helped your mental well-being, plus prepare your boat for action. The first thing I would look at after an extended absence from the boat is the state of the bottom. With our Reichel/Pugh 55, we backed off having Bottoms Boat Diving going once a month and moved it to every six weeks. Race boats typically get cleaned more frequently than most. Many paints’ performance requires the boats to move (that’s the sluffing aspect of the paint). That has obviously not been happening much lately, so if you’re getting ready to go on a trip, having a diver wipe the bottom and check the anodes just makes sense. If you’re on a sailboat, the difference between 8 knots and 8.5 knots on a trip to the San Juans will start to add up. Power boats, you’re not immune! You’ve still got running gear and growth that will affect your fuel burn. Next thing to check would be your various tanks. Do you really want to drink water that’s been sitting in those tanks? Fisheries Supply sells a variety of water tank cleaners. I’ve used one from Thetford ($13 at Fisheries) and it worked. By worked, I mean no one got sick and the water tasted fine. Be sure to run the water when you’re cleaning the tanks through all the faucets on hot and cold. You want to make sure you flush all the water sitting in pipes and clean out the pipes. Next, I’d look at the holding tank. A great product to add to your holding tank is NoFlex Digestor. Marine Sanitation next door to Fisheries sells this. It works like a septic tank treatment and will eliminate a lot of the sludge that builds up at the bottom of the tank and will help address some of the smells. Lastly, are the fuel tanks. I wrote about this last month in relation to the price of fuel and if it makes sense to fill up with fuel so cheap. If you haven’t used the boat for a while, it would make sense to start the engine and run it for a while, and then examine the filters. If you have a Racor with a glass bowl this is a bit easier. If you’re making a long trip, make sure you have spare filters in good condition.

I’ll skip over some obvious interior stuff such as cleaning up anything gross left in the fridge or galley. If you don’t already have it as a regular practice, it might be time to lift up all those cushions and open all those draws and make sure nothing is starting to mildew or stink. I’ve been a big fan for many years of running a dehumidifier year-round. I really like the style with the hose that goes into the sink so you can just leave it running continuously. It’s going to do two things for you; keep air moving and keep humidity down. Wipe down surfaces. A clean boat is a happy boat. Lastly, and I think most importantly, is to refamiliarize yourself with your boat and its systems. Turn on your electronics and various systems, hopefully before the

W

Ask NigelBy Nigel Barron

day you depart, so if there is a problem you have time to troubleshoot it. What about your batteries? If they are lead-acid, have you checked the fluid level? You might recall that on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend around noon, a boat heading out of the Ballard Locks sank right at the entrance. Thankfully, no one was injured, and it was great to see in the pictures of the incident that everyone was wearing a life jacket. Do you have an emergency plan? Can you remember where all your thru-hulls are? Are there wood plugs attached to them? Do you have a spare handheld VHF that is charged? I’m genuinely concerned that with the haste and pent-up demand to go boating, overlooked precautions could cause you and your boat problems. Take a deep breath. You’ve waited this long. So now check things out, then get out and enjoy your boat!

The program is called Virtual Regatta Inshore, and with Skype and a good internet connection,

anyone can race from the comfort of their own couch for free. Corinthian Yacht Club (CYC) in Seattle has a fast-growing fl eet of participants, who have now been racing together since April. There is a bit of a learning curve involved, and the

program has its quirks, which just adds to the fun. If you just sit back and imagine the various controls as commands to the crew, it really starts to feel real. Here’s how it works: You need an account with the Virtual Regatta Inshore app or website. (There is also an Offshore app by the same people). You set up a Pseudo name on the site

which becomes your boat name. Once this is done, you can register your boat with CYC on the yacht club website at cycseattle.org. Just before the start of the race, you’ll receive an e-mail from CYC that has a link to the Skype chat that will be used. Inshore allows 20 boats in a race. If there are 21 boats signed up, the fl eet is split and there would be a separate host

T

By Jared Hickman

Despite the cancellations of most of the major regattas in the region due to COVID-19, Seattle area racers are

getting back on the water to race — virtually.

VirtualRacers


and Skype call created for each fl eet. The fl eets are divided using a ranking system, and racers stay in the designated fl eet for the entire night. Much like the premier league model, racers move up and down in the rankings depending on the race results each night. Once on the Skype call, the host notifi es the racers that the fi rst race is “live” and an access code is shared. There is a custom race tab on the start screen for VR Inshore that you click, and a pop-up window will open with several options. At the bottom of the new window is a padlock icon, you click it and enter the access code into the fi eld, and voila! At this point, you’ve been entered into the prestart area of the race and this is where the fun begins! Once everyone is in the prestart area, the clock begins, and competitors have 1 minute and 15 seconds to start. After each race, scores are updated and the host sets up the next race. The host will again say the race is live, gives the access code, then you do it all over again. Most times the scores are updated on the CYC website before the next race starts! Typically, CYC does fi ve races, with three in the offshore racer mode with TP 52 type boats, and two in a J-70. The race locations are totally random and often depend entirely on the mood of the host. Personally, I like to move to a different location each race.

Maximizing your Experience

Connectivity is huge, as a slow con-nection leads to slow reaction time to the controls. I have found running the Skype meeting and VR website on different de-vices is a huge help. You will at some point push the wrong button. I think everyone

has accidently set their kite up wind or tacked unintentionally. There is no undo button, so when you make a mistake, just react and move on. The rules algorithm on the app is a bit off. There does not appear to be any regard to rule 15 (acquiring right of way) and 16 (changing course) in respect to giving the other boat time to react. It is very possible for someone to tack, gybe, or acquire an overlap, and be instantly penalized. Frustrating, but again, best to just shrug it off. Guaranteed you will do the same to someone else at some point. Due to these three issues, it’s important to not take it too seriously, as we’re not even racing for a pickle dish! It is all in good fun and important to keep that in mind. When the controls are slow, you push the wrong button, or you are punished unjustly, it is best to just acknowledge the system has its fl aws, laugh it off, and sail on. I also recommend purchasing some of the optional tokens. I spent about $15 to get several that should last me all season. (This is way less than my bar tab after weeknight racing on the water, so the cost is really minimal!) With the tokens, you can have access to your instruments and see the lay lines, time to start line, best VMG (velocity made good), wind shadow and wind intelligence features on all at once. Without the tokens, you only get one of these (but for free) at random in each race. Of these instruments, most people agree that the VMG is the all-around must-have, as it’s basically an autopilot that keeps the tell tails fl ying and auto reacts to wind shifts. The lay lines feature will super-impose some dotted lines on the water that show about where the lay lines are to the

next mark. This makes judging your ap-proach to the marks a lot easier. The time to the start line shows a target where you will be and time to the start line at your current speed and direction. Wind shadow will show the bad air coming off the other boats so you know if you are being blan-keted or not. Wind intelligence adds some windsocks and shadowing to the course radar so you can see shifts and puffs. In summary, virtual racing started to fi ll the gap felt by not being able to race. The comradery is really great, and we have a lot of fun not only racing, but being able to chat with each other during the race. Most racers keep their mics on, so you get to hear them groaning when something goes wrong, not something you generally hear when you’re actually racing! We are also quick to apologize when we make mistakes that affect others, and this really helps to keep the environment fun and relaxing. The more seasoned players are always willing to help the newbies get up to speed, and some will even share tactics and wind changes with everyone. There are many of us out there that have really started to enjoy virtual racing and are planning some off-season events for the winter of 2020-21. CYC is currently exploring the idea of hosting a winter VR series, and perhaps even some interclub challenge cups, such as the Lipton Cup. I expect that as long as interests in virtual racing remains high, we will continue promoting and expanding the program. We are seeing people join in who normally just crew and have never skippered their own boat. We’re also seeing sailboat cruis-ers who have never raced before logging

Virtual Regatta has helped spawn a global eSailing culture. Not only can local clubs race, but there are organized championships supported by World Sailing and SailGP which can give ordinary sailors the chance to race with the world's best. "It's not every day that you can face the Nacra 17 Olympic champion from your sofa," says Virtual Regatta CEO Philippe Guigné.

Virtual Regatta Inshore is quite immersive and some elements evoke the real thing — such as the starting horn blaring, sails luffi ng as the boat tacks, and winches squeaking as the spinnaker is hoisted. All good stuff .

It's not a substitute for being physically out on the water with the wind in my face, the rocking of the waves under my legs, and that reassuring feeling in my belly when the boat accelerates into a new tack. I must admit that when I fi rst started playing, I thought it would be a way to partially experience sailing; an imperfect remedy for all the race days lost to COVID-19.

After several of weeks of playing, I’m hooked. I've come to really appreciate Virtual Regatta Inshore as its own unique thing. Turns out, it's an excellent platform for learning and practicing strategy and tactics. We can see what's going on in the entire race course: where there's stronger breeze, and where the shifts are; and because the races are short, we can pack a weekend's worth of racing in just one evening!

It's also a good entry point into match racing, without the risk of physical damage to boats. When it’s paired with a video chat app, it's a fun place to hang out with friends both near and far, and a great way to bring more sailors into racing. The game developers still have some work to do to keep the game from crashing occasionally (though that could be due to my broadband connection), to refi ne how racing rules are applied, and to encourage good sportsmanship. In the meantime, it's great to see them continually working to improve the experience. For example, they’ve added more race venues, which now total 18, including three in the U.S. I expect to continue racing online even after we get back on the water.

in and trying out pushing the stick or turning the wheel around. Virtual racing is a thing. It’s becoming an even bigger thing as access to the real regattas are placed on hold due to COVID-19.

VR Lessons Learned

Lesson 1: The race timer is on the top of the screen, not the one in the middle. In my very fi rst race of the night, I thought I had really nailed the start. On my approach to the start, a big red count down timer started right in the middle of the screen with a target showing where I was go-ing to be on the line. I remember thinking, “What a great feature! I wish I had this on the real boat!” The timer read “0” right when I got to the line, nailed it! A few seconds later a large, an annoying pop-up appeared declaring, “Miss Start!” That is when I realized my error. The red timer that appears in the middle of the screen during the run-up to the start is your time to the line, not the offi cial start time. Lesson 2: You can look around. In a VR race, I tacked to port only to be immedi-ately T-boned by a starboard boat that was in my “blind spot.” Not exactly the actions you would expect out of a 30-year sailboat racing veteran. I did, however, learn how the penalties work. I was immediately made into a ghost ship and my sails fl ogged as the system made me sit there and think about what I had done for 10 seconds. It took me several more races to learn that you can zoom in and out and change the camera angle to look at what’s around you! It’s a lot easier to see to tack when you can move your head around! Lesson 3: The steering controls can be a bit un-predictable. It can fail to turn the boat entirely, or more an-noyingly, turn it in unexpected ways. In one race,

I fi nally discovered the “tack” button. I highly recommend using this unless you like going into irons a lot! Once I found myself coming into the fi rst mark in sec-ond place! Unfortunately, I was on the dreaded port lay line. I did manage to see a hole between the second and third boats coming in on starboard. “I can make that hole, and coming out in fourth is not so bad,” would be my famous last words. In my arrogance, I turned down, intending to aim for the spot. Well the loose gudgeons on my rudder caused me to turn down too far, and I promptly slammed into the third-place boat and had to do two pen-alty turns. After sitting in time out for 10 seconds just above the starboard lay line on port, I used the nifty tack button. In doing so, I learned that the tack but-ton takes you from the angle you were on one tack to the same angle on the other. As I was sailing about 90 degrees off the wind on port, I tacked and the boat immediate headed down to 90 AWA (apparent wind angle) on starboard. Unfortunately, there was a boat occupying that spot. Hmmm. This one brought my total to four pen-alty turns. After I sat in my well-earned third time-out, I sheeted in and promptly slammed into the boat ahead of me when a jammed main sheet failed to allow the boat to turn down as I hoped. Two more penalty turns and I was at six total. This time I had a great view of the fl eet rounding the mark as I sat in time-out. It was nice to see the entire fl eet ahead of me on the downwind, makes it easy to see what’s going on around the course. I spent the rest of that race wondering if I needed to shred my Judge certifi cate. Lesson 4: Connectivity and computer speed can be a real game changer. One night when I was playing the game, my wife was streaming an action movie, and someone else in the household thought it would be a great idea to have hundreds of opened web pages on their PC, all buffering and downloading con-tent and ads. Wisely, the router knew to give priority to my wife. Unfortunately for me, and maybe because the router holds a grudge against me or something, it put my data at the bottom of the pile. This spotty connection can cause a delay in when commands are executed and to compound the issue, commands cannot be undone. On more than one occasion, I would give the command to turn and nothing would happen. I would do it again, noth-ing. So, the frustrated three-year-old child inside me would take over and slam the rudder hard over by wailing on the turn button. A few agonizing seconds later, the connection would reestablish. But those

hundreds of key strokes would still be logged, so my boat would start turning in a tight spiral of death, all the while taking out the mark and most of the fl eet while I was at it! This would infuriate the inner three-year-old child still at the helm, the tiller would be slammed the other way in order to try and stop. This would mean that once all the commands for turning to port were met (usually after a 1080), all the new commands to starboard would start and I would start spinning uncontrollably the other way. All these needless maneuvers would put me pretty deep in the fl eet, combined with the minute or so of penalties tacked on top that usually placed me solidly in the back. The good news is I had enough time to go to the fridge and get a treat to calm the inner three-year-old and trans-form back into a 43-year-old! I highly recommend taking the following steps: Do not run the Skype meeting and the VR program on the same machine and make sure your connectivity is not being overtaxed in the household. Lesson 5: The crew (computer) re-sponds to your requests no matter how stupid they are.

On many occasions while going up-wind, I accidentally pushed the set/douse spinnaker button instead of the tack button. By keying in the wrong command, instead of yelling “Tacking,” my virtual skipper would yell “Hoist” which would result in the crew (computer) executing the order, no matter how much I would yell, “STOP, BELAY THAT ORDER, YOU BLOODY MORONS!” As I watched the kite and my dreams of victory go to the top of the mast while beating upwind, I had no choice but to take it. It was fun explaining on the chat why the fi rst-place boat was suddenly put-ting the kite up and down and spinning in circles of frustration. All I could do is explain that my bowman needed a talking to. A fellow competitor added, “You must be playing Virtual Regatta,” a phrase that would explain so much. Lesson 6: The umpires on the water need some more practice. I once I found myself in second place in a race going around the mark onto the fi nal downwind leg and within strik-ing distance of fi rst place! My internal soundtrack was playing, “I know how to handle this.” The third-place boat was over 100 yards back, and I had some time to engage. I started sitting on the

With racers able to see the entire course and where the wind shifts are, Inshore can make for very close racing.

There are actually two versions of Virtual Regatta, Inshore and the original version: Off shore. Created in France, the original catered to the culture of off shore racing, and has grown to include online simulations of the Route de Rhum, Vendee Globe, and other major ocean races.



fi rst-place boat’s air, keeping an eye out for the third-place boat to make sure I was not going to give up my hard-fought second. The covering was working great, the two of us played the familiar dance, and I soon found myself overlapped to windward and passing. Like a good little champion, the other boat luffed and I reacted. When we both came down again, I got greedy and narrowed the gap. I could hear the match umpires saying, “All on me” and pointing out that I had put myself there. With third place still 100 yards back, the fi rst-place boat came at me again. This time, I was too slow to react and we collided. I could sense the umpires grabbing the penalty fl ag. While waiting for my time-out to start and securing the dunce cap, I noticed the other boat went ghost and stopped. The umpires penalized the wrong boat! Know-ing that was not right, I did the seaman-like thing, and started doing some penalty turns until the other boat was out of jail and free to run, then I followed them to the fi nish. Luckily, third place was back enough and I still earned second, but it was close. In that incident, I also learned a virtual Star boat can make two turns REALLY fast. If I had done it that quick in the real world, I might be ordering a new mast today. I am hooked on Virtual Racing and plan on being there every night that Corinthian Yacht Club in Seattle hosts an event. Kudos to those who continually give me a spanking, Flying Lili, Hair of the Dog, Hit ‘em Hardier, I’m talking to you. Fellow sailing enthusi-asts, come join us for the fun, the more the merrier. Look for me on the virtual water under the Pseudo, Cupcake77.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICEWITH A PERSONAL TOUCH

Like other eSports platforms, online sailing has seen a huge surge in interest since the onset of COVID-19. I reached out to Virtual Regatta CEO Philippe Guigné this month to talk about the game and the com-pany’s future plans. His answers are translated from French.

Can you tell me about the evolution of Virtual Regatta Inshore?

We made a choice at the beginning to separate the two platforms of the game between Off shore and Inshore. Sailing Off shore is not the same as coastal regattas. We really wanted to make a game that respects the dynamics of real life as much as possible and not just an adaptation of Off shore. After that, our improvements evolved more like regatta rules—so that it is as close as possible to the real thing. We receive a lot of feedback from many sailors and this helps us to constantly improve the game.

How much of an impact has COVID-19 had on acquiring new users?

Downloads multiplied six-fold during the early quarantine period. It’s begun to fall back as con-fi nements have been lifted, but we gained many new users who’ll continue sustainably.

Did COVID-19 spur more interest in the 2020 eSailing World Championships?

Absolutely! The Inshore community was already on the rise with the partnership with World Sail-ing to organize the eSailing world championship, but the circumstances imposed by COVID-19 boosted this growth even further. We’ve been contacted by sailing federations from countries all over the world who, because of quarantines, have had to stop their local championships. Hundreds of thousands of athletes were stuck at home and the solution was online regattas. At the beginning their objective was "escape" from confi nement, but very quickly they understood the potential the game off ers: eSailing promotes the sport and also brings communities together.

How often do you update Inshore?

We are already constantly updating to support the growing number of players. Every 1.2 months we launch a diff erent body of water and new boats. Players can navigate the waterways of Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Sydney, Marseille, and many more. A huge amount of research work goes into these environments. We recently added New York harbor and the result is impressive, especially when you know that our designer took almost two months to fi nalize it!

Given that a large number of people have become more familiar with eSailing in such a short time, what does the future hold for 2021?

Today we have two games: Inshore and Off shore. Off shore is very popular in France, thanks to the culture of off shore racing here. Inshore is more successful internationally with New Zealanders, Italians, Turks, Brazilians, and Americans. We have active players in all corners of the world from a very wide variety of origins. Thanks to this “international” character, we want to go further than 2021 in our conception of things. Today the main objective is to make Virtual Regatta the offi cial platform of the 2024 Olympic Games for eSailing and that’s what we’re working on at the moment.

I ran upstairs in my pajamas to see that a huge gust of wind had shifted us into four feet of

water only inches away from the rocks. We were all good boaters—we remained calm, the engines were started, the stern line cut, and we moved forward. There was a minor collision, and in the chaos, my starboard friend had stepped on the stainless trim around the swim grid and had a near-deadly bleed on the bottom of his foot. We elevated the leg, dug deep into

our fi rst-aid training, and made our way to Ganges on Saltspring Island, where the Coast Guard arranged moorage at their dock and a taxi to the hospital. He received many stitches, and we were grateful that it all worked out. At the time, our cell coverage was spotty, and we relied on the VHF for com-munication with Coast Guard. We had a debrief with our friends afterwards to talk about what happened and my friend Glenn asked, “Aren’t you glad we weren’t

at the top of Knight Inlet?” His question made me wonder what would have hap-pened if we had been offshore. Or, how would we get emergency medical atten-tion in a different country? How would we get home if we required extensive treat-ment? What happens to the crew or the boat? Not to mention, how much would a medical emergency like this cost? Most responsible boaters have a fully stocked medical kit on board. Many offshore sailors and world travelers un-

RESCUE 411EVACUATION COVERAGE SHOULD BE AN ESSENTIAL

COMPONENT OF YOUR EMERGENCY PROTOCOL


dergo extensive certification to be fully prepared for any medical emergency. If all else fails, our reliable Coast Guard will come to our rescue. Correct? Sadly, a severe medical emergency such as a heart attack, stroke, or broken back will require far more than these precautions to get you home safely and quickly. Keep in mind that the first 24 hours of treat-ment in a serious medical emergency determines the outcome and can be the difference between life and death.

Make Sure You’re Covered Remember, medical evacuation insur-ance is not the same as travel insurance. So, where to start? A quick google search revealed several different options like Global Rescue, Peakmedevac, SkyMed, Aeromedevac, Medjet and DAN Boater. They all claim to provide traveler emer-gency coverage on almost every ocean and continent, but what exactly is included? To get answers, I reached out to my friend and author, Pamela Bendall, who wrote What Was I Thinking, Adventures of a Woman Sailing Solo. Two hundred nautical miles off the coast of Central America, Pamela was struck by lightning and she tells the story in her book. At the time of the strike, an extensive smoke fi re engulfed the engine room, frying the wiring throughout the entire boat, and all the electronics attached to it. Her limbs lost all feeling, and her skin began to break out in chickenpox-like welts caused by the toxins in the melted wiring. She used her compass and charts to navigate 200 miles and 36 hours to the closest port in El Salvador. Pamela had evacuation coverage at the time of the accident, but admitted that she never read the fine print. She soon

discovered that the evacuation company would only “take her to the closest place that could treat her,” which from El Sal-vador was the United States. But she is a Canadian citizen with Canadian health care coverage, which does not cover travel in the U.S. This would be a costly option. The evacuation company required her to pay upfront (and be reimbursed) to the tune of approximately $50,000. She also had a dog and boat which she could not instantly abandon. Eventually, boat and dog sitters were arranged, and she flew home; however, not without signifi-cant emotional, medical, and financial scars. “You don’t want to discover the deficiencies of your insurance policy after your medical emergency has taken place,” she shared. Pamela is an adventurer and assumed that evacuation coverage was for evacua-tions. She decided to investigate and even had a few lawyers attempt to interpret the ambiguous fi ne print in her policy as well as other companies offering evacuation services. She was shocked and intrigued by the complexities of evacuations, and discovered why it is so important to think through the policy and whether it works for your situation. Thankfully, few people will cash in on evacuation coverage.

However, if you ever need it and don’t have it, that exotic holiday will come to a crashing halt and could change you and your family’s lives forever. Carol and Harry were sailors who spent a good deal of time in La Paz, Mexico. On a trip into town, Harry slipped on some wet tiles and cracked his skull. He was lucid upon arrival at the hospital, but he fell unconscious during the three days it took to coordinate enough funds for the air ambulance, which is an upfront cost usually between $50,000 and $100,000, depending on distance and severity of the medical emergency. While still in a coma, Harry and Carol were evacuated home to California after three challenging days in the La Paz hospital. They were getting older, and had evacuation insurance on their to-do list, but they didn’t know where to start, so it never got done. Harry passed away three months later. During a severe medical emergency, most people want to be at home sur-rounded by their loved ones, their familiar medical team, and using their health insur-ance. Having a fully stocked medical kit and access to the Coast Guard will only get you as far as the closest medical facil-ity from wherever you are in the world.


Below: Coast Guards will generally only take you as far as the nearest hospital. This Canadian Coast Guard chopper is seen arriving in Victoria B.C.'s inner harbour. Right: Ambulances are costly and may be required to transit you to and from fl ights or facilities.

Left: Helicopter air ambulances are essential and you may need one - but they don't come cheap and aren't often covered by medical insurance. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the average cost of an air ambulance fl ight is between $12,000 and $25,000.


Commercial airlines are very restrictive, and will not allow people with many types of medical conditions – let alone a serious situation—to fl y. Most people don’t think clearly during a crisis, and the logistics of coordinating a cross-country, cross-border air ambulance under stress is daunting, expensive, and timely. Evacuation com-panies have experience in handling the logistics and repatriating you to your clos-est hospital effi ciently, professionally, and expeditiously.

The Fine Print When choosing evacuation insurance plans, it’s essential to look at the fi ne print. Here are some questions to consider in this process: • Who decides whether you are suit-able for emergency evacuation? YOU should be able to decide, and your sig-nificant other in case you are not capable. Most policies stipulate that the Hospital Administrator (who will want to keep you there for financial reasons) or the Insurer (who will be reluctant to spend funds for evacuation) makes the decision, so be wary of this policy. • Who pays for the coverage? Do you pay upfront and get reimbursed, or does the evacuation company cover all costs? This is important because some insurance companies make you pay upfront and use the time to uncover excuses for not paying, such as pre-existing conditions or other conditions exempt from your policy. • Where will they fl y you? You will want to go home. Many policies take you

to “the closest place that can treat you,” but you will want to ensure that it’s your “hospital of choice.” Also, check if the fl ight has a medical escort. • Where are you traveling? Ensure that your policy covers your specifi c geo-graphic location. • Who will be at your bedside? You will want your next of kin. Many policies don’t pay for next of kin for a hospital stay of fewer than seven days. • What will you do with your boat, family, pets, and other assets while being treated? Your policy should look after these considerations, whereas most only look after the patient. • What happens to your insurance premiums as you age or if you suffer a pre-existing condition? Generally, insur-ance companies offer annual plans that are renewed each year. Every renewal application will ask whether you have received medical treatment during the year. If you mark YES, then travel as you know it will change forever. Once you are red-flagged for either pre-existing medical conditions or fall into a higher age group, your travel medical insurance becomes restrictive and costly. Before I began writing this article for

Northwest Yachting magazine, I was bliss-fully ignorant about evacuation insurance coverage. I don’t know why I thought it didn’t apply to me. I decided to ask a couple of my friends if they had ever con-sidered it? I promised not to use names, but one friend, in her mid-forties, said, “I don’t need it yet.” One of the fi rst things Pamela shared during our conversation was, “No one can forecast their medical emergencies, and the world is full of people who woke up in the morning thinking that it would just be another ordinary day.” Another girlfriend I talked to felt that she couldn’t afford it. I looked into the costs of policies that are available and realized that these costs differ between companies and types of plans, so it wasn’t easy to es-timate premium costs as apples to apples. Some policies start at $500 per year, so if you compare that to the cost of an evacu-ation, which can be somewhere between $50,000 to well over $100,000, it’s not hard to justify the premium. Also, review the maximum amount that the company will pay out. The limits vary from $50,000 up to $1 million, but remember that the higher the coverage, the higher the premium. I also asked about pandemics. The

Right: Commercial airlines are very restrictive about passengers with medi-cal emergencies. Therefore, many evacuation fl ights (particularly if time is of the essence) are done on chartered jet air ambulances like this Learjet 31A. Before you travel, make sure your policy specifi es how and where you'll be transported. (Photo: Alex Kwanten)


COVID-19 crisis has initiated a great va-riety of insurance company responses and has left many people stranded without travel medical insurance. Most companies state that their insurance coverage is void during a pandemic and recommend that you return home immediately. My conversation with Pamela was fascinating and I learned a lot, so I had to ask which company she recommends. After extensive homework, she shared that she signed up with SkyMed. In fact, she loved the company so much that she became a representative and helped to design the SkyMed nautical division. She now travels the world with her Canadian medical coverage along with her SkyMed membership and no longer worries about travel health care coverage.

“After researching every evacua-tion company,” Pamela said, “I selected SkyMed because their services and phi-losophy make every attempt to make a disastrous medical emergency as seamless as possible: emotionally, logistically, and fi nancially.” She went on to say, ”SkyMed has thirty plus years of experience, and they’re really good. They will evacuate you and your partner to your home, in addition to your children, grandchildren, pets, vehicles, boat, donor organs, or even your remains in the event of death. They also will return you back to where the ac-cident originally occurred by commercial air travel when you are fully recovered so you can resume your holiday or vacation. All this, and you will never need to requalify medically or worry about your rate chang-

ing due to age or your medical condition.” The cost of membership is about $1.00 per day, depending on the plan. Choosing an emergency evacuation company is not a time to be frugal, unin-formed, or indifferent. Whatever company you choose, ask the right questions. Above all, whether you are traveling by boat or on land, it is essential to include evacuation coverage into your planning protocol so that you will never experience a dreadful and unexpected medical emergency that turns a holiday into a nightmare.

As the sailing world navigates its future as a sport, racing sailors around the

globe are bonding and uniting together. Something about all of us being in the same situation has brought the racers into a new phase of open mindedness about what sailing is going to look like moving forward. Social media is riddled with videos of families gett ing out on the water and grassroots groups organizing and “not organizing” events throughout the world to engage racers

while honoring the distancing guidelines. Locally, several of the dinghy fl eets are coordinating their own tuning and practice sessions, and many of the keel boat sailors are participating in unoffi cial and semi-offi cial events with the goal of gett ing out on the water while keeping everyone safe. Across the At lant ic in France, the solo ocean racing scene is kicking off. With reduction in restrictions and brand-new boats to play with, racers are working to take advantage of the longer days

to tame their new craft. While foiling has been a part of the America’s Cup and high-tech dinghy world for several years, it’s now a force in the offshore racing world. A recent rule development within the IMOCA 60 fleet has made it possible to use horizontal foils that exit out of the sides of the hulls and literally lift the boat of the water. These new designs are on track to regularly sustain speeds of 30 knots, while being sailed by only a single skipper and no crew.

The pinnacle of the fleet calendar is the Vendee Globe, a nonstop, solo, around the world race without assistance, that att racts some of the best talent and technology in the world. It was announced that the race is going to go forward as planned, starting out of France on November 8, and will be one of the few global events still happening this year. This is groundbreaking, as most of Europe is still in lockdown. The Vendee Globe, most defi nitely, will give the sailing world a huge boost to its morale and will be an honest spectacle to watch as these crazy French men and women foil around the world. In the world of the America’s Cup, the teams are turning to technology to maintain social distancing and to sail as much as possible. So far, several of the teams have replaced some of the crew with batteries and motors to control the winches and allow the boats to sail and test designs, yet keep within government distancing guidelines. A few teams are even going as far as placing GPS trackers on every crew member to monitor their location while sailing and confirm they are

adhering to government social distancing standards. While it’s a bit terrifying to think of flying above the water at freeway speeds on a 70’ sailboat with just five people trying to keep it all together, this type of ingenuity is needed as time on the water is critical to the teams refining these wild boats. Currently, all events leading up to the America’s Cup regatta i tself have been canceled, so racing will begin cold in Auckland, New Zealand, in early 2021. This lack of racing is putting even more stress on the engineering teams and racers as they are developing these immensely complicated boats half-blind and will not really know how they stack up against the competition until the start line next year. Around the Northwest, things are on track for junior sailing camps to start this month at Corinthian Yacht Club, Sail Sand Point, and Seattle Yacht Club, which are all taking registrations depending on available space. This news comes as a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. The opportunity presented by COVID-19 to spend so much time with our loved ones has been a blessing, but sailing camps are also good news for homebound children and their parents. The camps are planning a wide range of distancing and hygiene solutions to make sure children are staying safe and enjoying the water. US Sailing is doing a great job of actively engaging with sailing clubs all around the country and supporting youth activities in conjunction with the American Camp Association Summer 2020 Guide. Additional measures are being considered— kids sailing the same boat every day, sanitizing of shared boats and equipment, and access to hand washing stations on the dock— to ensure the safety of both sailors and staff while out on the water.

On the racing end of the spectrum, youth and dinghy racing are gearing up and getting back on track for the summer season. The Narrows Race Team resumed practice on June 22, and Seattle Yacht Club began earlier in the month, along with several other teams, to host limited practice. The teams are being proactive with distancing and making sure that racers are keeping safe with moves such as not sharing boats, disinfecting boats between practices, and ample use of face coverings, now pulling double duty to shield against the sun and germs. Alyosha Strum-Palerm, coach of The Narrows Race Team, shared, “I’m just excited to get back out on the water and continue to build skills. Personally, I’m excited to be able to run small practices of fi ve or fewer where we will really be able to hone in on development that caters towards the respective skill level of the group, something that’s much easier in small group sett ings.” Taking advantage of smaller groups and leveraging it into more hands on (or hands off ) involvement with sailors is somewhat of a very thin silver lining, but should be utilized to make up for lost time on the water. With both the RS Aero and the Tasar fl eets gearing up for upcoming championships, sailors are coordinating their own practice schedule, all the while keeping shoreside gatherings to a minimum. The goal is to use this time to dial in on how to make the boats as fast as they can be and come out swinging when full-scale regatt as resume. It’s still going to be a long time before things return to normal, but the sailing community is banding together to fi gure out how we keep our beloved sport alive through this very dynamic time. We are consciously fi nding safe ways to participate, and it’s going to make all the diff erence.

Even the early explorers and sett lers of Mexico’s southern Pacifi c coast sensed the magic and mystique of the region around what is

now known as Bahia de Zihuatanejo. The Kingdom of the Tarascans extended from Guadalajara down south to coastal areas such as Zihuatanejo. Tarascan King Calzontz in spent his holidays in the region with his wives and concubines. The name Zihuatanejo (Spanish pronunciation siwatt a’nexo) is a mixture of Nahuatl and Old Spanish. Zihuatlan means “a place governed by women” in Nahuatl and ejo is a Spanish term for “small.”

By Deane Hislop

Beaches of Zihuatanejo Well-protected Bahia de Zihuatanejo is encompassed by fi ve beaches. The peacefulness of the bay is due to minimal tidal range, one of the lowest on the Mexican Pacifi c coast, with an average of 3.4 feet. Strolling along these sandy beaches is a favorite past time of visitors. Many of the beaches have a story to tell in the origin of their names. Continuing along the promenade leads to Playa La Madera, with water so soft it seems like a pond. It owes its name to the times of the Viceroyalty, when ships were loaded on the beach with precious woods (madera in Spanish). A path connects with Playa La Ropa, the largest beach on the bay, which took its name from the garments that the tide spread all over the shore when a Spanish galleon, that arrived from the East carrying clothes (ropa in Spanish) made of fi ne fabrics, sank in front of the bay. Playa La Ropa has become well known for its sand and hotels. Playa Las Gatas, lies on the southern shore and is named after cat (gata in Spanish) sharks, also called nurse sharks, that once swam in these waters. If you see one, do not be frightened; although it may scare you, it is a harmless and tolerant animal. If you like snorkeling, then Playa Las Gatas is ideal. It has a reef that forms a haven from the ocean swells and the water is clear. There is over a dozen restaurants specializing in seafood and a great place to spend the day. Several restaurants rent snorkeling equipment. Gett ing to Playa Las Gatas is easiest by taking one of the panga water taxis at the municipal pier. Playa Manzanillo is a secluded beach that is accessible from Playa Las Gatas. There is a footpath behind the restaurants that leads up to the lighthouse where you can take in breathtaking views. The hike to Playa Manzanillo is for the adventurous and best during the cooler hours of the day.

It was King Calzontz in who had the rock breakwater at Playa Gatas built to create a private swimming lagoon, which is still standing to this day. Many locals consider Zihuatanejo to be the fi rst pre-Colombian tourist destination in the Americas. Soon after Cortez defeated the Aztecs at Tenochtitlan in 1521, Zihuatanejo became an important departure point for ships heading to the West Indies and the Philippines. Zihuatanejo also became a resting spot for trading ships traveling back with goods from Asia on their way to the markets in Acapulco, 115 nautical miles to the south. Today, ships still travel through

Zihuatanejo Bay, now carrying passengers on cruises along the Mexican Riviera. Zihuatanejo, also known by the nickname “Zihua” by those who know it, off ers a warm and friendly greeting on every street corner. Visitors discover a mosaic of color, music, and fl avors. The land and town are full of traditions, landscape, and wonderful architecture, as well as smiles and friendly people. From a privileged geographic location and the unique biodiversity to its deep cultural and historical heritage, Zihua is a unique destination.

GASTRONOMY After a busy day of activities, there is no shortage of restaurants in Zihua to satisfy every crewmember’s tastes and hunger. If craving coconut or chipotle shrimp on a bed of pasta, I strongly suggest Lety’s. For a unique dining experience with tables on the street and delicious food, try Restaurant El Arrayan. I also suggest Il Mare Ristorante on the hill for Mediterranean cuisine and a large wine selection coupled with a spectacular view of the bay. For a romantic dining experience, Casa Cuitlateca is a marvelous hillside terrace restaurant overlooking the bay. There are only fi ve tables and reservations are required. To impress your date, request a table on the rail. The food is delicious with perfect presentation, and the views and sunsets are breathtaking. Another romantic selection would be Coconuts with its service, variety of menu selections, delicious food, music, and romantic atmosphere. Reservations are recommended. Other good choices are Bandido’s Restaurant & Sports Bar, where the food is excellent and portions are large, also a great place to watch sporting events on large screen TVs. For breakfast, I suggest either of the two La Terracita locations, in town or on the beach.M

ZIHUATANEJO: Visiting boaters to Zihuatanejo Bay set the hook either in the northeastern portion of the bay that’s close to town or in the southeast portion for a perfect view of the setting sun. If you desire the comfort of a full-service marina, there is Marina Ixtapa, marinaixtapa.com.mx, located 5.5 nautical miles north.

Deane and Arlene Hislop call Anacortes home. They cruise year-round between Olympia, Washington, and northern Vancouver Island, spending more than 100 nights a year aboard M/V Easy Goin’. They enjoy meeting other boaters, exploring new locations, sampling local cuisine, and collecting informa-tion, experiences, and images. Deane is a freelancer whose work has appeared in regional, national and international publications.

Made for Walking Zihuatanejo has remained a traditional fi shing village with folklore and charm of an old Mexican coastal town. In the downtown area called El Centro, the narrow cobblestone streets are populated with numerous open-air markets, restaurants, and shops. Adjacent to the municipal pier is Playa Principal beach, where small boats called pangas are beached and fi sh mongers sell the catch of the day, in the shade of the palm trees, to chefs and restaurateurs for their menu. Zihuatanejo is a town easy to walk in and get carried away with shops that sell typical souvenirs and small boutiques with unique garments. The entire bay and town can be reached on foot starting at the municipal pier, located in the northern portion of the bay. The area is a hub of activity early in the morning as fi shing boats arrive to take their catch to the outdoor fi sh market in town. Follow the promenade to the main square, which hosts both street shows and a basketball court. The hoops draw basketball teams made up of locals and even some visitors to play in pick-up games. A few blocks north from the square is the town’s church and craft market. Handcrafted treasures found at the Mercado de Artes y Artesanias include gold and silver jewelry, ceramics, wooden masks, hammocks, and brightly colored textiles, all created by local artisans.

Fish On With the close proximity to the Petacalco Canyon and the eastern edge of Lazaro Cardenas Canyon 15 nautical miles off the coast, the area is diverse in big game fi sh such as marlin, sailfi sh, mahi-mahi (also known locally as dorado), tuna, and many more. The Pacifi c of “La Costa Grande” is only equaled by the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. During a fi shing excursion, it is not uncommon to see giant sea turtles, dolphins, and some gray whales (especially in the winter).

Tee It Up If you’re in need of a round of golf, I suggest Palma Real Golf Course. It is the original course in the region, carved through dense jungle and palms of a coconut plantation. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., it has the hallmark of a traditional course with broad fairways and greens with closely cropped rough and thick Bermuda grass. You may catch a glimpse of some exotic birds if you’re lucky, but you should also take note of a sign posted on the fourth fairway, “Cuidado area de lagartos – Alligators Caution.” (For the biologically exact, please note there are no alligators in Mexico, only crocodiles.)

Cycling Tours Rent a bicycle and pedal through Aztlan Ecological Reserve and bird sanctuary for a chance to see wildlife and exotic birds. The area is composed mainly of swamp and small lakes as well as a river draining into the Pacifi c Ocean. There are over 320 species of birds, two kinds of iguanas, as well as crocodiles and other reptiles. About half of the bird species are year-round residents, while others migrate to the area during the winter and spring.
