You all did a great job on the March/April issue! I read it from cover to digital cover. I continue to enjoy your very interesting articles on sailboats in particular. Keep at it!

Classic Yacht is officially my favorite yachting publication of any kind, paper or web. You have the best photos, videos, news and sense of humor of anyone covering this frequently egocentric world. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you on the water some day.

Thanks for the recent “follow” on Twitter. I followed the Twitter trail to your website and read your current issue
online.What a great website! I very much like the magazine.
I went through your whole issue and it was one of the best reads I have found in a long time. I especially liked the article about the Great Loop cruisers and the video from “Jacksonville.com”, as I am originally from J’ville and still call it home and have many fond memories of sailing the St. Johns River.
When I was eighteen years old I bought my first sailboat. It was a double planked mahogany, double ended, gaff rigged Navy life boat that looked like it was straight out of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. And it had no motor. But it did have eight oar locks. I had five of the twelve foot oars that came with the boat. You can imagine the fun a teenager could have on a big river with such a boat!My vessel is a 1998 Catalina 250 wing

Alexandria, Virginia. — When a boat sinks, that’s likely the end of her. That’s because repairs on a sunken boat often cost more than the actual value of the boat. So if boaters want to prevent a sinking at all costs, what can they do? Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) recently
took its first significant look since 2006 at its boat insurance claims files to identify the causes of boat sinkings and found that most were preventable. About two out of every three (69%) boats sink at the dock or mooring, while the remainder (31%) sink while underway.
17 ClassiCYacht mag.com
Of all of the dock/mooring sinkings, 39% occur when some small part gives up the fight with water due to wear, tear and corrosion. When it comes to gradual leaks due to slowly failing parts, too many boats existed in a “zombie state” somewhere between floating and sinking, dependent upon the bilge pump, which merely postponed the sinking until the pump failed or was overwhelmed. This one is a no-brainer: lack of maintenance is the factor here.
For boat sinkings while underway, the most common cause (43%) is hitting something – a log, the bottom or colliding with another boat or dock. Some of these sinkings might have been avoided if some some extra care had been taken – and some can be chalked up to simply bad luck.
Interestingly, low-cut transoms that were common on boats in the 1990s and a cause of sinkings is no longer much of a factor, as contained splash wells separating the interior of the boat
from the transom are more common in boat designs today. However, being swamped while tied stern-to waves remains a cause.
To prevent a sinking, here are ten tips from the boat owner’s group:
• For inboard-outboard powered boats, inspect stern-drive bellows annually and replace every three to five years. The shift bellows is usually the first to fail.
• For inboard powered boats, check the stuffing box every time you visit the boat, and repack – rather than simply tighten down the nut – every spring.
• For engines with raw water hoses, replace them the moment they indicate wear – such as when small cracks appear or they feel “spongy” when squeezed. Rusty hose clamps are also a concern and should be replaced.
18
on watchWhy Boats Sink: 10 Prevention Tips from BoatUS (Cont.)
• Always pull trailerable boats from the water when storms are forecast. These boats generally have too little freeboard to stand up to any kind of wave action.
• Dock line management systems that keep the boat centered in its slip can prevent snags that sometimes lead to a sinking.
BoatUS.com
• Replace the engine cooling system impeller every two to three years.
• Inspect the boat’s cockpit and livewell plumbing – again look at hoses, clamps, and cracked or broken fittings. Make sure you can inspect all such plumbing, and if you can’t, install inspection ports to make the task easier.
• Each season take are hard look at all below-waterline fittings, hoses, and clamps.
• Don’t forget the drain plug – you knew this one would be on the list.
• Keep a good lookout and ask guests to help keep their eyes peeled for deadheads. If you’ve grounded or hit something, consider a short-haul to inspect the bottom or drive gear.

To celebrate the success of its brand, on the crest of the wave for more than 47 years, Magnum Marine has prepared a fascinating Magnum Anniversary Book in the Limited Edition of 1,000 copies. This book covers the history of Magnum starting in the 1960s with the infamous Don Aronow. It then covers the latest models created since 1993 under Katrin Theodoli’s leadership after the death of her husband, Filippo Theodoli, an Italian boat builder who bought Magnum Marine in 1976. Filippo and Katrin Theodoli had the innovative idea of applying high-performance technology to larger, more luxurious yachts. And some of the first high-performance yachts were born, yachts that would reach the speeds of the race boats but have the comforts of a traditional yacht.
Magnum Anniversary Book - published by Mondadori - is now ready for its distribution in the limited edition of 1,000 copies. On sale on Magnum Marine website for $100.00
and distributed in selected book shops around the world hottest sea locations.
Katrin Theodoli, Magnum Marine President, refers: “This is what the book is all about: it is the story (with beautiful photographs) of Magnum Marine. Magnum Marine has been my life and is at the center of everything I do. One day I wondered why, and I realized that Magnum is not “any“ boat company. Magnum is special and it has a soul. I am sure you will agree with this.

“It is for this reason, that I decided to tell the story of this unusual company and try to explain, why and how this little boat company had become such a famous brand. It is not the size of the company, since it is very small. It is not the quantity of boats that have been built, since there are relatively few. It is not the amount spent in
publicity. How was it possible? That is what I try to answer in the story of this amazing little company that has become a legend all over the world.”
The history starts in 1966 with the founding by Don Aronow of Magnum Marine, which built mainly raceboats and which Don resold two years later.
Magnum Marine Announces 2014 Anniversary Book (Cont.)

What changed Magnum Marine and set it apart from the competitors, was, a few years later, the introduction to the European market and to very personalized attention. The history takes us through the different models and clients and clearly shows that the boat company is being transformed by the passion and the pursuit of perfection of
both our family and our clients.
“It is probably the only boat company to have such an identity, such a prestigious brand.The story also explains how brands are made...many in our industry have tried. Few have succeeded. The story is interesting and the book is full of beautiful photographs, which, more than the text, tell the story.”
The new Magnum 51 is the last photograph in this book. She was sold to a famous Cuban American in Miami and she will be shown at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show next October 2014.

Washington, DC – Acknowledging that recreational boating is a significant con-tributor to the nation’s economy as well as a growth engine for local communities, President Obama signed bipartisan leg-islation earlier this week that recognizes that the Federal government needs to do more to help small harbors, address long-standing dredging issues, and improve boating and navigation infrastructure. Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) applauds the passing of the 2013 Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) and thanks the bill’s sponsors, Congressmen Bill Shuster (R-PA) and Nick Rahall, III (D-WV) and Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and David Vitter (R-LA), and the President. BoatUS was an active advo-cate for WRRDA and will be working on its implementation.
“Maintenance dredging for small harbors and shallow-draft channels has been chronically underfunded,” said BoatUS Government Affairs Senior Program Coordinator David Kennedy.
“In addition, funding for infrastructure such as jetties and some inland navigation locks has been significantly curtailed. The 2013 WRRDA Act directs the US Army Corps of Engineers to consider factors beyond total tonnage shipped in making dredging funding decisions, requires that not less than 10% of the value of operation and maintenance funds be directed to ‘Emerging Harbors’ or those that have less than one million tons of cargo shipped annually, and directs the Army Corps to report to Congress on the maintenance needs of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.”
Also, WRRDA for the first time treats the Great Lakes as one single comprehensive navigation system, potentially allowing funding for dredging of smaller harbors. In addition, the US Army Corps is directed to study potential new revenue sources for the Inland Waterways Trust Fund – and are required to consult recreational users, among other stakeholders.

For the last four years Aurora II has been docked at Rybovich Marine Center. This month I have moved to the Flagler Yacht Club down by Southern Boulevard in West Palm Beach. This morning I was stopped and asked what kind of boat she was
and told how beautiful she is. This is the part I like - sharing her story with other boat lovers. If you are going to across the southern bridge to Palm Beach, look north and you will see where Aurora II now calls home, unless I’ve taken her out for a cruise.
1. Use what your eyes are telling you:
Sometimes it’s the little things that give you a sign that the yard you are entering isn’t the best. One BoatUS member took his boat to a repair facility and thought that the abundance of boats in the lot meant that the boatyard was popular. It wasn’t until after the yard started giving odd excuses for delays and then made him pay for hundreds of dollars of ineffective engine repairs before releasing the boat, did the member notice that few, if any, of the boats in the lot had been moved in years.
2. All recommendations aren’t the same:
Online recommendations are a mishmash of good and bad: more reliable ones have real names attached and specific details in postings. Fellow boaters are likely the best folks to recommend a yard, but go one step further: be sure that the repairs are
similar to what you need. Another option is to ask a marine surveyor. These professionals are often knowledgeable about the quality of work in local repair yards, as long as they’re impartial and unaffiliated with any shop or boatyard. Look for a boat surveyor having SAMS or NAMS credentials as these surveyor associations require their members to be independent. Another good sign to see is a shop that follows American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) guidelines for repairs, which ensures that crucial safety standards are met. ABYC technicians also get specialized certification in a range of boat systems.
3. Dealerships may offer more, but don’t write off independents:
There are certain benefits to taking an out-of-warranty boat or motor to a dealership, with the best training and equipment being at the top of the list. Dealerships also enjoy better parts connections. On the other hand, most well established independent repair facilities also produce high

quality work – especially those run by former or current factory-trained technicians. And unlike a dealership, they must compete on repair business alone and their prices are usually lower.
4. Look for shops that specialize:Boats vary in type, size and complexity
and so do repair facilities. Don’t bring a 34-foot trawler for repairs to a shop that mostly works on trailer boats, and don’t expect the guy living in a van down by the river to fix your high-tech outboard.
“Always check around first before doing business,” said BoatUS Director of Consumer Affairs Charles Fort. “Many boaters only have the summer to enjoy their boats, so any problems could lead to a premature end of the boating season.”

Chula Vista, California – On Thursday, June 21st at around 9:15am a fire broke out on the yacht Polar Bear, sending flames and smoke hundreds of feet into the air. About 100 workers on site at the time were evacuated due to the toxic fumes being produced by the burning $24 million vessel, and a worker reportedly could feel the heat over 100 yards away. The 102-foot expedition yacht Polar Bear, owned
by entrepreneur Larry Jordass from the Minneapolis area, was in dry dock at Marine Group Boat Works undergoing repairs for several weeks. Heavy black smoke could be seen across the South Bay.
Sources say it may have been due to a welding accident, but the incident which led to such dramatic footage is still under investigation.

As far as the October 2014 edition of the Genoa Boat Show is concerned, the organizers’ efforts will be concentrated on direct involvement of the international marine industry and media, on promoting Made in

The show is coming back as popular as it used to be, starting right from last

year’s strong attendance. This is the goal of the 54th Genoa International Boat Show, scheduled from October 1st to October 6th 2014.
At the end of the past edition, most exhibitors were satisfied with figures such as 115,000 visitors, 750 exhibitors and more than one thousand vessels, 300 of which were moored in water. That was only the first step and this is where it will pick up, from the new course which, a year ago, was symbolically marked by the “the red wall”, up to a completely renovated show which is hoping to relaunch and to establish itself as the most important European exhibition in the sector.
The relaunch goal to be achieved within three years has one of its points of reference in the strong international vocation.
With this in mind, starting from the 2014 edition, those major international buyers that will find the Genoa Boat Show a perfect location will be accommodated in the center
of the Mediterranean so that they can arrange their own network of relationships and admire the best Italian boats. They will be given great attention since a new area will be set up at Padiglione B (Pavilion B) for holding special meetings. Then the major European and American media dealing with the sector, as well as those of the developing countries and

the Middle East will also be involved through targeted invitations.
This year the show will last a day longer than last year in order to meet the vendors requirements.
The exhibition format will resume some of the strong points which were
appreciated the previous year. The heart of the show will “beat” down at the sea so that sea trials can easily be performed and several other boats can be put into the water bringing the advantage of a more pleasant view and lower costs.
Great attention will be focused on the world of sailing which will be given a

various kinds of products noticeably: sailboats, motorboats, accessories and engines. This successful layout will be repeated this year. In addition to the Sailing World, even the Power Village which houses engines will be back, while the large dockyard will be used for mooring motorboats and Pavilion B will be reserved for accessories, inflatable boats and outboards.
The heart of the new exhibition will also rely on a strong investment in the promotion of Made in Italy products. Italy is among the best destinations in the world as far as nautical tourism is concerned: the Genoa Boat Show may be considered its capital and the first vehicle to promote it and to make it become popular throughout the world. Also other sectors such as fashion, design, food and wine, jewelry, art and the architecture have all the credentials to become stronger as a driving force for economy based on the quality of Made in Italy products.
new spot, the Sailing World. A larger area compared to the past which will include the entire inner dockyard that allows displaying up to 120 boats in the water and more than 65,000 square feet of space on the ground, along the docks and under the tents where also charter, competitive sailing, nautical tourism and port facility operators will be allowed to exhibit besides just shipyard and sailing accessory operators, as well as sailing schools and federations.
Great attention will be given to the excellence of Italian food: something completely new at this edition will be the Food and Beverage Court, where leading players in this sector will offer the best Made in Italy wine and food.
In general, the organizers’ will focus on improving the services provided to vendors and visitors, to make their stay at the show easier and more pleasant.

Port Vauban, Antibes, France - Eighty crews tried for victory in the bays of Antibes and Juan-les-Pins over a month ago from June 4-6th, 2014 in the Les Voiles d’Antibes Regatta. 120 volunteers ensured that Port Vauban was in perfect shape to welcome crews and visitors alike.
If you missed a chance to go out
and see this event or take part in sailing to compete, some of the most beautiful sailing yachts in the world were there. Marigold, the oldest boat in the regatta, built in 1892, or the sistership schooners Elena and Eleonora, the biggest at nearly 50 meters length overall and if you take a chance to watch the footage, you might catch a glimpse of them.

Newport Bermuda Race Results
Newport, Rhode Island - The 635-mile race across the Gulf Stream had 164 starters on June 20 at Newport, RI, in five divisions, each for a type of boat. The race has no single winner (only division winners), although the winning St. David’s Lighthouse Division boat is generally regarded as the race’s top boat. The fleet was started in 15 classes, each with its own prizes. Ten boats retired from the race due to damage or to tight schedules brought about by slow going in erratic winds.
The conditions made for challenging racing that favored both smaller boats and crews who accurately analyzed the complicated conditions and kept their boats sailing as fast as possible toward Bermuda. Boats were often tightly clumped, with reports of 30 or more boats nearby or within sight.

Alexandria, Virginia – Landlubbers make resolutions for the New Year. Recreational boaters, however, will usher in 2014 wishing for good fishing, wind in the sail, or a full tank of fuel. But that’s not all that sometimes happens on the water. Murphy and his “law” make appearances. “It’s hard to track some of these things, because no one likes to
admit it,” said BoatUS Vice President Public Affairs Scott Croft. “But based on past experience, we know some of these boating ‘moments’ will happen to boat owners in the New Year, so we’ve gathered some tools and tips to avoid these troubles.”

Halsey C. Herreshoff will deliver a lecture series on July 24th, with doors open at 6:00pm for just $7 for museum members and $15 for non-members. This lecture series will be celebrating three Herreshoff Centennial Classes of sailing yachts. These are the Newport 29, about the most winning class of any Herreshoff or other grouping; the Buzzard’s Bay 25, the favorite model of Halsey’s grandfather Captain Nathanael Greene Herreshoff; and the legendary Buzzards Bay Boys Boats, later dubbed Herreshoff 12½ Footers, the world’s first mass produced yachts of which 374 were built at the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company.
Halsey will also provide stories about the 1914 schooner Katoura,the largest Herreshoff sailing yacht ever built and the iconic Resolute which successfully defended the America’s Cup, comprising Captain Nat’s sixth consecutive victory.
Halsey will explain significant actions of the Herreshoff Manufacturing and its outstanding team that functioned so impressively in 1914, one of the most successful years in its history.
Halsey speaks with remarkable insight from his naval architecture profession, four times America’s Cup champion experience, and from Herreshoff family lore passed on by his late father Sidney Herreshoff.

The Stout Fella class is also unique in that one section of the boat serves as a cockpit and a cabin. The cockpit can comfortably fit three of four persons during the day and by night a cabin top is lowered to convert it into a dry cabin.

the wonderful content available to us in practically every medium we are left with only one escape route, the Off button. All these demands on our time make us nostalgic for a well remembered
and more ordered way-of-life when we ostensibly had some time to ourselves.
I suggest we can only really reach this escape in our minds, in the cinema and in museums. The City of Glasgow, Scotland was the center of manufacturing, shipbuilding, and other heavy engineering industries and a foremost intellectual teaching and research post at the hub of a busy trading and financial metropolis.

time things have changed and there have been many casualties as has happened elsewhere in the Western World. Glasgow has responded in the only way it knows how, by fighting and finding a new way to tackle the future. Today Scots in Glasgow use their brains and build on a checkered history, but now it is more brains than brawn!
Glasgow has not discarded the past, rather they are building on it, with

monuments to this in wonderful museums including the old Museum of Transport. After all Glasgow has always been at the center of transport, manufacturing locomotives, cars, buses, lorries and Rolls-Royce aircraft engines. This heritage of travel has now been honored by the opening of a startling new concept in architecture, the Riverside Museum.
The dynamic new Riverside Museum displays Glasgow’s rich industrial heritage, which stems from the River Clyde. This structure designed
by a leading light in international architecture, Zahra Hadid, an Iraqi with many wonderful designs to her credit. This exceptional building of breathtaking outline shows like a medical graph of your heart beat when you first see it. It seems to take a basic shape in homage to the Sydney Opera House which, like the Riversite, was castigated at first view for its totally new concept of a building fit for a function. Now we look at the world-renowned shape and see how it dominates all its surroundings and Sydney Harbour. Will this happen to the Riverside? Only time can decide this.

In complete contrast, the full-rigged ship SS Glenlee moored here is the epitome of elegance with its flowing lines and vibrant colors. There could hardly be a more contrasting outline of two conjoined objects. The movement of the facile roofline, the amazing reflections in the dark-green mirror glass front against the vertical thrust of the golden masts. The dark steel rigging swinging in great arcs from the solid yards, all these contrasts make a unique symphony of movement, real or imagined. The side decks of fine wood run from the elegantly shaped stern to the thrusting bowsprit
on the focs’le pointing up-river as she waits to get back to her real element, the sea. She is a prisoner, but still counting the minutes until her escape. The harsh shape of the building, the sublime curves of the ship are illustrations of the thinking of their time. Whichever you prefer, both are the “best of the best” in my book. Together they make a most harmonious picture.
Visitors can relax and enjoy the riverside views in the museum’s café, and take home all manner of transport-related gifts from the museum’s shop.
70
In Glasgow, all that is great in architecture can best be appreciated above eye level. Street levels are a hodge-podge of international shops of no distinction and could be anywhere in the world. Above this there are magnificent designs in local colored stone in fawn and red, carved into wonderful eye-catching shapes. At the Riverside Museum practically all the exhibits are above eye level; a wall of cars, a wall of bikes, a wall of boat models. Big things, like magnificent locomotives to tiny tricycles. If it moved, its there! Riverside pays homage to movement.
In shipbuilding days there were shipyards on both sides of the river here, and if you changed your job you might have had to cross the river to get to your work. This was done by using a small cross-river ferry. These ferries have been re-introduced and no matter which side of the river you are on, these boats are available at all hours.
What will the future bring? Who knows?

Over 11,000 in attendance with fantastic weather, simply a wonderful weekend in celebration of wooden classic boats.

The 23rd Annual WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport was a huge success largely due to the exhibitors, sponsors, and others, with an attendance of 11,000 enthusiasts throughout this weekend-long event. The weather was fantastic, 8 boats were built over the weekend, several boat-owners shared their home-built boats, and in addition exhibiting boats found new owners, too. The list goes on.
A crowd-favorite at the WoodenBoat Show, the I Built It Myself exhibit, featured 15 home-built boats this year. Each year the WoodenBoat magazine
invites individuals to bring a wooden boat they built to the show. The boat must not be for sale, must have a wooden hull, and the builder must be willing to attend all three days of the show to talk about their projects with attendees. This exhibit always offers inspiration to aspiring builders. I Built It Myself is proudly sponsored by Interlux Yacht Finishes. This year, Jim Seidel, Marketing Manager for Interlux presented Richard Honan of Winthrop, MA with the I Built It Myself “Best In Show” Award. Honan brought his 16’ 2014 Barto Melonseed gaff-rigged sailboat “Proud Mary II”.

INTHESTREAMNovice sailor Tammy Kennon thoughtfully examines a cruising life’s learning curve.
“Have you seen the Garden of Eden yet?”
My husband and I had sailed from our home waters of North Carolina four months before, and Cara Mia, our Island Packet 380, was now anchored off Black Point Settlement on Great Guana Cay.
Like the other Bahamian islands we had visited, Great Guana is on a
limestone shelf jutting up from the floor of the Atlantic, an inhospitable environment for all but the most robust flora -- and fauna as well.
So, when the locals told me about the ‘Garden of Eden,’ it sent my imagination on a flight of verdant fancy, where fertile ground erupts with bounty and velvety green grass ambles
81 ClassiCYacht mag.com
down to a burbling stream.My thirsty imagination did not
ponder how a fertile paradise could spring from this hostile terrain. Nor did I question how a stream could burst forth where the only fresh water comes from the sky like manna -- and is just as rare.
Instead, filled with hope, I followed instructions and my imagination down
a hot asphalt road through a scrubby landscape dotted with green, not the bright green that offers hope and sustenance but the disconcerting, hard-fought green of overcooked spinach.
Parched and damp, I arrived at a plain wooden sign scrawled with ‘Garden of Eden,’ and, just in case there was any doubt that I had reached nirvana, there

INTHESTREAM
was another sign: a rusted remnant of a yellow pickup with ‘Garden of Eden’ unceremoniously stenciled in the rust.
At first glance, the ‘garden’ appeared to be a field of dead sticks jammed haphazardly into holes in the limestone. On second glance, it still looked like a bunch of dead sticks. Its palette left me feeling like driftwood,
arid, gray and adrift, left out to dry by my own expectations.
But set way back from the road was a tiny house painted a most cheerful blue, a welcome contrast to the deadwood and my mood. An elderly man emerged from the house and tottered toward me, all thin and wiry with skin the color of dark roasted coffee.

Sydney Hobart was inevitable, he said, “It’s one of the top events in the world, and it was on our dream list.” Zefiro, a Farr 100, is on a round-the-world cruise westward from its’ homeport in the island country of Cyprus and came to Sydney to compete in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race. Following the race, Zerifo will continue back to the Mediterranean via Indonesia.
All of the months of planning and preparation culminated in Sydney, as the fleet filled the docks at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia in Rushcutter’s Bay. At the pre-race weather briefing, tacticians and navigators tweaked their race strategies, as the forecast called for a 10-15 knot southeasterly that would increase as the fleet made their way south.

“Would you like a tour?” he asked, as I wondered how he happened to be wearing a New York Yankees hat the same color as the sky.
“Excuse me?” I said, struggling to pick out English words from his heavy brogue.
He repeated his question. Twice.
“Oh, yes!” I said, hoping he had asked me if I wanted a tour.
Willie led me into the stick wilderness, a sea of driftwood bleached colorless by the tropical sun. He stopped by a sprawling piece of wood five feet high, propped up so that one branch stuck out to the side at 90 degrees.

“That there is a graceful ballerina,” Willie said, pride in his voice.
“What?!” I said before thinking to edit myself. I stood slightly behind him, in bright, hot sunlight puzzling over the skeleton of a tree.
“She’s got one leg up in the air. Can you see her?” he asked, grinning widely, his teeth super-white against his dark skin.
“Oh, yeah,” I said. “I guess I do see her.”
Willie giggled, and we pondered the ballerina for several moments in respectful silence before moving a few steps down to the next work of art.
“This,” he said, with all the grandeur of a museum curator, “is a horse’s head.”
Willie’s garden was a collection of common driftwood he had found on his own property over many decades. He did not carve the wood, paint it or change it in any way. He was simply the seer, who looked into the washed-up bones of trees and saw their essence, a guide for those of us who lacked such vision.
“Oh, look at that!” the wizard waved a hand and a gnarly piece of wood changed into a beautiful lady washing her long, flowing hair. “And right here? That’s George Washington.”
“How did you start collecting these ‘sculptures’?” I asked, snapping a photo of the father of our country.
“I got the idea from the clouds,” he replied, matter-of-factly explaining how we all look at clouds and see fanciful things, an elephant to me might be a motorcycle to you. Why would firewood be any different?
After the enchanted tour, I rushed back to the boat, excited to blog about the Bahamian version of Jesus in a tortilla or Elvis in a potato chip.
I looked through my photos, one by one, and then I looked again. Something had gone terribly wrong. There was no lion or graceful dancer or honest George. Instead, I had photos of stupid driftwood sticks stuck in stone, black and white and barren.
What was missing was the magic, a way of seeing taught by a humble,

coffee-skinned seer in a Yankees hat.And those photos? They are my
surreptitious homework that, with practice, I might learn to view through Willie’s eyes. Some day maybe I too can peer into dry bones and find their essence, a majestic stallion, a long-dead president or the face of God.

Gothenburg, Sweden – A devastating fire hit Volvo Penta’s headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden in December.
“There’s a lot of soot and water damage in our offices,” Volvo Penta’s managing director Björn Ingemanson told reporters. “The fire happened on the upper floor of our office
department where there are around 250 working places for people focusing on aftermarket services for the global market.”
“A lot of management and staff functions have been hit by the fire. In total there may be as many as 400 employees that will have to move because of the fire and there are a lot of practical problems to be solved.”
Ingemanson emphasised that Volvo Penta’s daily production and deliveries have not been affected.
The fire will hopefully not have any effect on the company’s normal business activities. More importantly, no one was injured in the blaze – mainly because it started in the middle of the night.
No other parts of Volvo Penta’s offices were affected by the fire. The production department escaped with no damage.
Volvo Penta has offered employees that want to work from home the opportunity to do so.

iceberg’s mass lying beneath the surface of the water to keep you floating the right way up no matter whatever gets thrown at you. Also, personal contacts or recommendations are still the foundations of the professional powerboat industry.
If you’re thinking of changing careers or trying to decide what to do in life, stop and ask whether there’s a career waiting for you doing something you truly love – powerboating.
There are more than 6,000 superyachts afloat globally – 80% of which are powerboats – all of which need crew. There are over 200 RYA-recognized sea schools specializing in powerboat tuition – all of which need instructors. Every day of the year, there are deliveries taking place and charter skippers being paid for doing what they love...So what’s stopping you?
Dreams Meet RealityFor boating novices there’s good and
bad news. The good news is that if you can afford the time and expense, you can get the qualifications needed to go all the way to the top – captain of a superyacht; delivering vessels all around the world; teaching jet-skiing in a tropical paradise – whatever you imagine ‘the top’ to be, you can get the certificate.
The bad news is that qualifications are just the tip of the iceberg. Boating experience is like the rest of that

So where do you start? First of all you need to clarify your hopes and dreams into a set of achievable goals. Then you need to examine the available entry points into the profession(s) and decide how much you want or need qualifications.
What Careers Are There?To earn a living in powerboating there
are only really a handful of properly defined careers: instructing, delivery, charter and the various superyacht positions. Many of the professionals out there do bits of all four and won’t think

twice whether the boat has sails or not. Specialization has its place – engineers in particular take note – but good all-rounders are worth their weight in gold.
InstructingPowerboat instructing with an RYA
qualification is a fairly straightforward and risk-free route into a career in the industry. There are around 1,200 RYA accredited schools that need powerboat instructors year-round, both in the UK and around the world, and qualifying won’t break the bank or even require you to give up your current day-job. Furthermore, the association’s instructor training scheme is designed in such a way that newly qualified candidates without actual teaching experience are able to gain employment.
However, most RYA schools teach both sailing and powerboating and will hire few, if any, powerboat-only instructors (unless you are prepared to take the Dinghy Instructor’s course
once you’re in the door). There are just 200 or so accredited specialist powerboat schools, so think carefully about what else you can offer a potential employer.
Alternatively, the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) offers a range of instructor qualifications, while opportunities to learn and work informally are also available.
How long will it take?With full-time dedication, a total
novice can become an RYA instructor

in less than a year and for experienced pilots, qualifications can be obtained in weeks for just a few hundred pounds, or a round $500.
Minimum RYA RequirementsIn order to take the basic instructor’s
course that qualifies you to teach beginners, you must be 16 years of age and be a competent, experienced powerboater with RYA Level 2 and First Aid certificates. Competence is assessed prior to starting the three-day instructor’s course and schools will look for at least five seasons’ experience of powerboating, or one season as full-time work.
Pay and conditionsPay often starts at minimum wage
and many are forced to work every hour they can get in order to make ends meet, earning around £250 per week, or $400. However, if you view this as an apprenticeship, the more hours you put in, the quicker you can progress beyond this point. Further
training is often provided free or at a reduced rate and with your foot in the door you begin to gain a reputation, make contacts and accrue that all-important experience.
Charter BusinessThe MCA – the UK’s maritime authority
– insists on certain standards for boats being offered for charter, just as they insist the skipper taking out passengers is of a certain standard. There are three routes within the RYA programme to get qualified as a charter skipper; only two of which lead on to MCA qualifications for skippering yachts over 24m (78 feet) in length. Deciding which to take depends on how much you know already and the extent of your career ambition.
Absolute beginnersFor absolute beginners, learning the
basics with a club or with family and friends should be combined with the first steps in the RYA Powerboat Scheme – RYA Level 1 or Level 2 certificates, each of which is a two-day course costing

around £150 ($235) – or a week’s course known as Competent Crew, which is the start of the RYA Sail Cruising or Motor Cruising Scheme.
The benefits of following the Powerboat Scheme are that you can
start at a young age, and the courses are short and relatively cheap. But bear in mind that if your ambitions extend to chartering more than 20 miles from a safe haven or skippering a superyacht, you will need to switch to either the Sail or Motor Cruising scheme, build

Experience countsIf you have contacts and experience
and you want to turn it into a job on the water you could be as little as a weekend’s course away from making it happen.
RYA Level 2 is, these days, the ground level certificate for working behind the wheel of a powerboat. Even five-times world champion and yachtsman of the year Steve Curtis was required to take the course back in 2004 before being permitted to drive any boats at the Southampton Boat Show. So, for the rest of us, getting seasonal work, such as operating a harbour launch or a runabout for a marina or boatyard, is certainly within reach!
In fact, the range of permitted commercial activities for Level 2
holders is greater than you might think. The MCA ‘Red’ code of practice permits commercially endorsed Level 2 powerboaters with just one year’s experience to take a vessel up to 24 metres long (78ft) with a dozen passengers up to three miles from a ‘nominated departure point for sport or pleasure’

Thirty-one-year-old Simon Nuding runs a successful RIB charter business out of Lymington. His company Rib-it owns four and manages a further two high-speed machines employing two full-time members of staff and between 15 and 20 casual skippers throughout the season.
“We’re always looking out for skippers,” he says. “There are a lot of opportunities for qualified instructors and skippers in the Solent – even just in Lymington there are a lot of boats. We recently helped another bigger company provide 33 RIBs for a single day’s event. Throughout the summer we’re offering £100-£120 per day ($160 -$190) – often these guys are able to fit in two jobs a day. It’s a great lifestyle – always out on the water, living locally and taking home £800-900 a week ($1,250 - $1,400) in high season.’
With three or four years’ experience powerboating and sailing with family, friends and at his local club, Simon took his RYA Level 2, Yachtmaster theory and Advanced Powerboat certificates in the same year, followed quickly by his basic instructor’s certificate and eventually the Advanced instructor’s qualification. “It’s possible for someone with experience to get all of those qualifications in a couple of months. But beyond the legal requirements I’m always looking for personality. Being a skipper is not just about sitting in a boat. The perfect skipper is doing something he or she loves. You can’t teach someone the right manner or exuberance for the job – they either have it or they don’t.”

This is enough freedom to skipper a charter boat offering anything from high-speed experience rides, parascending and sea angling to camera boats for photographers, TV and film crews. Combine it with an instructor’s certificate and an RYA Powerboat School endorsement and then get busy marketing yourself.
Bigger Boats and Further Afield
Although the Powerboat Scheme doesn’t limit you to small boats, there are different skills and qualifications needed for travelling more than 20 miles from a safe haven, which are covered in the upper reaches of the Sail or Motor Cruising Scheme. At this level, if you have no knowledge of sailing and never intend to sail, then look for motorboat schools offering the Motor Cruising scheme. The course costs more than the sail scheme (due to the price of the fuel used) and, like

taking your driving test in a car with an automatic transmission, you are not qualified to skipper a commercial charter on a sailing vessel.
Career-wise, it has to be said that there are many more jobs skippering sailing vessels in the mid-range charter industry – the majority of Mediterranean
and Caribbean charters are sailing vessels with enough qualified skippers on hand to cover the powerboat requirements without needing specialists.

author of Sail for a Living, a new book on careers in the marine industry. The world’s fleet of superyachts has in fact outgrown the supply of experienced crew. Training new recruits is therefore one of the marine industry’s main growth areas, while the industry has been forced to offer multiple entry points, rotating contracts (to allow key individuals time off rather than causing burn-out), job security and real opportunities for
promotion and personal advancement.
The basic qualification is a set of four safety courses known collectively as STCW95. All four can be taken in a week at any number of training establishments worldwide for about £850 ($1,300). There is more scope for specialization on board a superyacht – chefs, engineers, silver-service standard stewards and stewardesses need not be

qualified to drive the boat or navigate – however, all-rounders will be retained more readily in the low season.
Entry-level Deckhand and Hospitality positions will be advertised at training schools, on superyacht websites and filled by word of mouth, on recommendation and by personality. Pay varies but should start on or about £250 ($400) per week (room and board included).
Jess Harrison, a member of the three-strong Industry Guidance Team at the UK Sailing Academy (UKSA) in Cowes helps prospective students choose the right course or courses for their ambitions and then feeds the job opportunities out via the UKSA website.
‘”I was asked if I could provide a deckhand with kitesurfing and carpentry skills recently,” she said. “And I found someone who fitted the bill. There are a lot of opportunities for people with watersports skills. Get your STCW then apply for positions that specify
watersports as an advantage.”
The route to the top deck is considerably more structured but salaries for First Mates and Captains regularly exceed £50,000 ($78,500) per year. The UKSA offers a three-year cadetship course starting with a six-month intensive mile- building period to get candidates up to Yachtmaster Offshore level. They then head out into the world for a year to get hands-on experience on board ship, followed by further studies and MCA exams.
Skippers employ a First Mate as deputy. Second Mate and bosun are in charge of the deckhands doing anything and everything. Inside staff include Steward/stewardess, waiters etc; sommelier and chef; electronics officer and engineers.

Safe or SorryHow Does Social Media Influence
Recreational Boating?Story by Rachel Johnson
Have you ever thought about the usefulness of social media as it relates to recreational boating? We’ve all heard for years (and more so recently) that social media is the future and if you’re not on Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/etc.,
then you’re already behind. For those individuals that know social media is the future, but still have not jumped on-board, let’s offer an opportunity to demonstrate how social media can be utilized in the boating community – a very specific,
101 ClassiCYacht mag.com
unique group. Social media is there to help us, not hurt us. Furthermore, all of us are facing one major brick wall: budgets. More specifically, the lack thereof. Social media is one way we’re able to break down that brick wall, even if it’s only piece-by-piece.
I’d like to begin by offering some background as to how useful social media can really be, regardless of what sort of industry or group you consider yourself to be in. Erik Qualman founded a web site called Socialnomics “with the intent of providing short social stories, statistics, studies and surprises. The term Socialnomics also has a double meaning in that as the success of this site
[www.socialnomics.net] grows the more social good we hope to accomplish or give back.” (Source: www.socialnomics.net/about-socialnomics). Mr. Qualman took some of the research he’s done and created a quick YouTube presentation titled “Social Media Revolution 2011”. This 2:35 video identifies key items that we can easily translate as we consider how recreational boating safety professionals can use social media to their benefit.
What could be better than reaching potentially millions of people (or millions of boaters) essentially for free? There’s really no argument here, either. Besides the time factor and the potential for a few paid advertisements, social media is free to use and free to promote your own message. Furthermore, an active audience is right there – waiting to receive up-to-date information on what’s happening with your agency, organization, or company. Taking it one step forward, social media has been set up to encourage direct, simultaneous communication.
102
Safe or Sorry
How does this help us when we consider our audience? How do we utilize these valuable resources to deliver safety messages, important information, and current trends that are affecting recreational boaters not
Gone are the days when letters are sent out and a request is required two weeks later. You need an answer to a question you have? Done. Now. It’s all right at our fingertips if we just recognize its potential.

only in our state, but also across the country? We need to consider some key points that were brought up in the “Social Media Revolution 2011.”
“Over 50% of the world’s population is under 30 years old.” (:14). This is something we need to be extremely conscious of as we figure out how to talk to our target audience. According to the 2011 U.S. Coast Guard Boating Accident Statistics 263 of the 758 deaths were between 36 and 55. The next highest age group? Over 55 years old.
So, how do we relate this to the notion that over 50% of the world’s population is under 30 years old? Are people over 30 using social media? Are they as in-tuned to these different social media sites as those under 30? One of the things we must be cautious of when using social media is that we still also must use traditional media.

is out there – both social media to reach out to those the “younger” crowd and those that are more technically inclined and traditional media to reach those that are “older” as well as those that are not actually able to

Fall overboard: Do you have a way to get back in the boat?
Here’s a look of the different types of boat ladders and some video showing how difficult it can be to get back aboard - even on small boats: BoatUS.org/findings/44/.
Hit bottom: It’s not a question of if you will strike the bottom, but when. The good news is most boat groundings are not serious. Boat owners can practice this winter staying out of thin water by using an online boating simulator at BoatUS.org/games. If the worst still happens, a good back up plan is to have an on the water boat towing plan.

Moving on... “90% of consumers trust peer recommendations. Only 14% trust advertisements” (2:06 – 2:15). What is this really saying? It’s saying that we need to do a better job to actually meet boaters, talk to boaters, and understand how they think. What better way to do this than to chat with them over Facebook? Or send them a tweet over Twitter? We can’t talk to each and every one of those that have registered, over 12 millions boats last year. What we can do, though, is be smart about our own advertising and outreach efforts. This is another example of the “new” social media meeting and complementing traditional media. Are you tweeting multiple times a day? Great! Are you spending your weekends at a marina or boat ramp? Even better. Did you tweet where
you’ll be, including up-to-the-second tweets? If you answered “yes,” then you’re on the right track. You’re coupling social media with traditional media to create more communication and face-to-face opportunities. You need to become these people’s peers. You can’t solely be the name behind an advertisement anymore. You need to let boaters know that you’re also a real person, with a real interest in boating that wants to see them boat safely to have the best recreational experience possible.
Here’s a simple question we should be asking ourselves: “How do we work together to address key issues of recreational boating?” The future – our future – looks bright as we continue to welcome these changes, rather than view them as a hindrance.

Insight From the Travels of Wooden Boat RestorerIn the last few months many great
friends have passed away – Skip Allen, Sr. Publisher of Southern Boating magazine and Trumpy lover as well as Joe Bartram, one of Mr. Allen’s good friends. Years ago Capt. John Russell on “SS Sophie” gave me a framed photo of “Pilgrim I,” a1925, 92’ Trumpy built for Webb Jay. Her original name was “Troubadour,” Contract 176. Joe asked me what I was going to do with the photo be-cause he had a friend who once owned the boat. “This is a man that you should know!” he said. I sent the photo to Mr. Allen with a note.
Two years went by and I never heard anything about it. Then one day, I got a call. When Mr. Allen was closing his office door one day, he noticed a package
behind it. It was only after opening it that he realized it had been waiting there unnoticed for a very long time. When I got his call, all thoughts of Mr. Allen snubbing the gift came to an end. He apologized over and over again. And, shared wonderful stories of his past and current love of wooden boats. It was then that I came to understand the deep friendship of these two grand gentlemen, Joe and Skip. Mr. Allen loved life, family, and the water. What I respected was how he survived the conglomeration of marine magazines and the continuing death of the printed word to keep his family publication just that.

intelligence, and a passion for adventure. They will be well and truly missed.
The summer is finally here – light winds, bright sun, and the rain clouds that roll in almost every day in the afternoon but it isn’t blistering hot yet. “Flying Lady” has tossed her lines aboard with her
motors purring as she sails north. What a beautiful yacht, a 1937 Trumpy. While the restoration of this yacht is not ours to claim, it does make me proud for our small part getting her ready for Mr. Stewart’s great adventure. Capt. Scott Ireland and Travis Givvons of Portland, Maine are piloting her north. They have no deadline

other than to get to Maine sometime this summer. Travis has found out that when you pull up to the dock with one of these great yachts people will come out of the woodwork to ask questions.
Most of us Trumpy owners and captains are used to it. It was fun to see how proud the first mate of the “Flying Lady” has become. This young man will have the time of his life and have stories to tell for many years to come.
Last fall, I went to Bayou La Batre, Alabama to look at ERSA, the 73-feet, 1929 New York Yacht & Launch that had sunk and was sitting on Landry Boat Works’ railway. Well she has been purchased and the new owner is moving her to New Orleans and has the finances and plans to restore her! I really hope that comes true. I look forward to seeing ERSA’s rebirth.
Each person has their favorite Trumpy era, for some it was the 1960s Trumpy - sleek and graceful - the Annapolis Trumpys. I like all of the eras, but there
is the 1919 Trumpys that showed an era of hope. WWI had ended, the Intracoastal was started, and Mathis Yacht Yard built 13 of Mr. Trumpy’s designs that year they were strongly built of American virgin timber. These yachts had proud bows and straight up cabin fronts. These yachts would make a mark in time.
As time has passed the pre WWI boats mostly have disappeared. Only a handful of them now remain. Many years back I had a call from Mr. Tyrone Wilkinson, owner of contract 101, the 80’ houseboat built as “Nadesah” for J.D. Carstairs. She would have 11 owners in her 95 years. As I have said before, I saw her many years ago, tied to a dock in Georgia, looking as though she was waiting for something. I recently got these photos and a short note from our friend Troup Nightingale: “While the Trumpy Friendship has been “gone” for years, I think she has met her final fate sinking at the dock in Darien, Georgia. She has been down now at least 4 days. While she will be raised, I do not believe she will recover.”

Insight From the Travels of Jim Moores (cont.)This is a worthy project – part of
our history that is slipping away faster and faster as time moves on. I hope like ERSA, there is someone to step up and save the “Friendship.”
Being in South Florida we see some really large yachts. These megacrafts have garages, just like a house, but instead of cars they have tenders, toys, and motor scooters. Nowadays you will see mahogany Ri-vas, Chris-Crafts and all manner of lake boats used as tenders for these enormous vessels.
Recently we were asked to look at a mahogany tender for megayacht. She is a pretty boat, built out in Idaho. I don’t think that builder ever thought his little lake launch would be tethered behind a megayacht, being towed at 15-19 knots and falling into 15-20 foot waves in the Mediterranean. As I’m sure you can figure, it didn’t take too long for things to start breaking. Four planks on both sides were broken on
the same rib. There was a vinyl skin between the planking so the inner and outer planks slid free of each other, hence the broken planks. We removed the bow below the waterline, glued with 5200, and planked her back up. Today she was shipped to the Med to be towed for the summer. We will see how she does under such working conditions. It’s a long way from Idaho and some lake.

We just recently started on Lou Jezdimir’s Chris-Craft. I told you of the saplings growing in her. There is not much to work with, but somehow we have started patterns, patterns, and more patterns. My guys look at the fit of the ribs and say “REALLY?!” These boats were built to last 10 years or so. So 82 years later there’s not much left. We have constructed a strongback and have decided to rebuild her upside
down. Lou has a 1950s Hemi raceboat motor that he wants to use. This motor has weight to it, not like the modern versions, this one is cast iron, an original one.
We needed to know how much that motor weighs, so Lou drove his truck to a weighing station, then drove back to pick up the motor and then back to the station to weigh the truck again. It might sound a little excessive, but it worked. At 1,300 lbs
the motor is double the weight of the 90hp Chrysler flathead motor. Na-val architect Eric Sponberg is going to help with the weight and balance of the shaft and props on the project. He has designed such boats in the past so the motor placement is important to get the max speed out of our little speedster. I can’t wait until we have the backbone put together – that’s when she will start to come to life.

MYSTIC, Conn. – Over an 80-year career, the 1841 whaleship Charles W. Morgan sailed on 37 voyages to remote corners of the globe. This voyage, her 38th, may perhaps be her most important. Where once the Morgan’s cargo was whale oil and baleen, today her cargo is knowledge.
The decision to sail the Morgan is based on Mystic Seaport’s commitment to make
history come alive for today’s audience. The 38th Voyage will call attention to the value of historic ships and the important role America’s maritime heritage plays in this country’s history. The voyage will also raise awareness about the changing perception about whales and whaling.

RI. The ship will then sail to Vineyard Haven, New Bedford, the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, Boston, and then back to New London and Mystic with a stop at the Cape Cod Canal to participate in its centennial celebration.
Sailing the 1841 whaling vessel is a maritime event not seen since the 1920s. Due to her status as a National Historic Landmark, the ship will proceed to each scheduled port on a one-day sail so she can be safely berthed in the next harbor by nightfall. As weather conditions are a determining factor in the decision to head to sea each day, each port transit is scheduled with a three-day window of opportunity with the intention that the ship will sail on the first acceptable day.
Once in port, the Morgan will be open to the public on select days. Additionally, the ship is accompanied by a traveling dockside exhibition that includes historic interpretation, live demonstrations, music, waterfront activities, and more. This is a once-in-a-
lifetime journey and we hope you make plans to visit the ship at one of the ports.
Following a stop in New Bedford, the whaleship’s homeport for most of her whaling career, theCharles W. Morgan will sail to Provincetown (July 11-13) for daily sails to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. There will be no visitor access to the ship in Provincetown but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will host a free dockside educational exhibit highlighting how National Marine Sanctuaries interpret our maritime past, promote ocean conservation, and are engaged in cutting-edge research to understand the marine world. The booth will also include children’s activities.
The public can also follow the Morgan’s visit to the sanctuary on OceansLIVE (http://www.OceansLIVE.org), which will broadcast from the vessel and other locations, offering interviews and commentary with historians, scientists, authors, and artists discussing the shift

Sciarrelli has always loved to define his creations as “boats to travel”, to represent the concepts of comfort-safety-seafaring applied to his preferred classic design that has been defined with admiration by the famous French designer Mauric (Pen Duick IV of Tabarly) as “Boats designed with the heart”. Sciarelli’s stunning boats have been characterised by an unmistakable design, by being fast and light weighted (but not excessively) as well as easy to steer. Sciarrelli was known for the fanatical care he was devoting to obtain a high course stability, natural consequence of the balance of the canoe body , that allows his boats to cross the oceans in the maximum safety. The manufacturing was entrusted, and it could not be differently, to the skills and experience of the Shipyard Stefano Carlini – Rimini-Italy that, after two years of passionate and enthusiastic work, delivered this jewel, the Stradivari of the sea. The final result is a jewel for sailing, that would have made Sciarrelli proud, and that, as well as all his other yachts, “makes the water cheer on his passage”. When entering a port it always capture the attention for its traditional and elegant design that embodies classical marine characteristics ensuring a constantly safe sailing. Indeed when it slides on the water with a slight breeze or when it faces a strong storm it spreads vibrant sensation, the Clan 2 was designed and built to give continuous emotions.

The vessel would visit west coast ports enticing travel-minded people to visit Aberdeen and perhaps set up a business. On March 7, 1989, after three years of work, the brig Lady Washington was launched into the Wishkah River, which flows through Aberdeen into Grays Harbor. The Lady Washington is an all-wooden vessel whose hull nearly matches the look of the original Lady Washington, which was
built in the 1750s as a sloop. She served as a privateer in the Revolutionary War and later accompanied Capt. Robert Gray’s Columbia Rediviva on an epic 1788 voyage to trade for furs in British Columbia. Gray’s expedition was the first time US-flagged vessels visited the west coast of North America, including the coasts of the future Oregon and Washington. (On a second voyage in 1792, Grays discovered the mouth of the Columbia

of the Black Pearl. In the most popular activity, called a “battle sail,” Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain maneuver in close quarters firing small cannon with blanks. During these cruises, the captain invites guests to take the tiller or help hoist a sail. Many guests find themselves bitten by the tall ship bug; it’s not uncommon for one to return to Lady Washington to try the “Two Weeks” volunteer program.
Since her launch in 1989, more than one million people have walked Lady Washington’s decks, including more than 200,000 school children. The ship has a unique job: promoting Grays Harbor County as a visitor’s destination and a place to do business, while handing down ancient knowledge about making a living on the water. She’s a workboat, but she handles her tasks with a style and grace worthy of the most elegant yacht.
