APRIL 2014 APRIL Non-destructive Nigel Ingram & Peter Wilson testing Transferring learning | from other sectors ISSUE 39 ISSUE Refit UK The yards with the best skills and facilities WISP LAUNCHED Spring of 2014 saw the launch in Harlingen of the elegant 47.7m Hoek Design sloop Wisp (MCM #163) from Royal Huisman. This successor to the line of large Hoek sailing yachts has benefited from hull shape optimization for speed and comfort while her generous rig plan provides sparkling performance under sail. On deck special attention to the teak cladding and furniture, efforts to keep the decks clean and uncluttered and careful design of the sailing hardware have all paid off and contribute to a stunningly good looking yacht. The interior design is by Rhoades Young starting with a comprehensive brief from a very involved and knowledgeable Owner. The detailed joiner work has been magnificently realized by the interior craftsmen of Royal Huisman utilizing stained oak paneling with wenge accents. This complemented by a range of fresh colors and textures in the furnishings makes for a clean and vibrant interior. After successful trials in the North Sea the Owner enjoyed a first cruise on board in the Norwegian fjords. Plans are now for a Mediterranean cruise and then a full season in the Caribbean. WISP Photos : Cory Silken Photography WISP Photos : TENDER PROJECT We are pleased to report that we are involved in the construction management of an 11.4m limousine tender project (MCM #197) that is well underway at Hodgdon Yachts in Maine – our first project with them. This handsome tender is an opportunity for Hodgdon’s to build on the experience from previous versions produced by them. The GRP infused hull will be a real performer and the hull form will make her very sea-kindly. We look forward to conducting sea trials on her early in the New Year. 46.6M BLUE-WATER CRUISING KETCH We have been working steadily and closely with the Fontaine Design Group on the development of a 46.6m blue-water cruising ketch (MCM #189). The work is progressing well including an exhaustive CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) study and structural analysis. As this project moves forward, we will keep you posted… 39.6M RP/NAUTA/BALTIC We are very pleased to have been selected to act as Owner Representative for a new Reichel-Pugh/Nauta 39.6m project just announced at Baltic Yachts (MCM #198). This yacht is for an experienced yachtsman and is very much conceived to both race and cruise in style. The project will continue existing and successful relationships with RP, Nauta and Baltic. Preliminary work on the project is underway at the offices of all involved and hull construction with start in September and delivery is scheduled for summer of 2016. 35.0M BALTIC/JUDEL VROLIJK The sleek hull lines of the Judel-Vrolijk/Nauta 35m high performance racer/ cruiser (MCM #190) are evident now as the two hull halves (carbon pre-preg on foam and Nomex cores) emerge from the tooling at Baltic Yachts. Bulkheads are also well under way and these will largely be installed before the hull is joined. Aggressive weight targets are a feature of this project and of course a high priority of the build team. Meanwhile work has started by Baltic’s in-house craftsmen on the super lightweight interior, drawn by Nauta. Oak paneling punctuated by displays of work from the Owner’s art collection will make this a truly special yacht. Delivery is scheduled for fall of 2015 and plans are then for a quick trans-Atlantic dash to arrive in time for Christmas. 38.7M CLAASEN/HOEK Since the hull for this lovely Hoek Design 38.7m aluminum sloop (MCM #186) was delivered to Claasen Shipyards’ Zaandam facility in spring of this year the pace of construction has significantly ramped up. Claasen’s in-house carpenters have delivered the entire interior furniture to the spray shop before turning their attention to the exterior teak work which is now also very well along. The classic interior (design again from Hoek) features traditionally styled unstained mahogany furniture contrasted with off-white paneling. Systems installation is also well along making the overall project looks comfortably on time for the scheduled spring 2015 delivery. At MCM we are particularly happy to be working again with this very experienced Owner – indeed the entire build team for this project worked together on his previous yacht just a few years ago. 35.4M BALTIC/JUDEL VROLIJK Next up for the water will be this spectacular 35.4m Judel-Vrolijk/Nauta performance cruiser from Baltic Yachts (MCM #184). Now in final stages of fit out at the yard this yacht will be a real eye catcher. Not only because of the bright red metallic hull paint but also features such as the spacious cockpit completely protected under a sleek fixed bimini, forward sun bathing area and furling systems for all sails; all integrated onto a hull shape with obvious performance potential. The project team at Baltic are sparing no effort to get the yacht to the water before the onset of the Finnish winter 2014 – trials will be exciting but cold. 27.4M TRULY CLASSIC We are very pleased to be managing this project (MCM #191); the third Truly Classic 90’ (27.4m) to be built by Claasen Shipyards in Zaandam (the previous two were KEALOHA and ATALANTE) and the third for MCM also! The hull was complete when our client purchased the project. The shipyard is currently busily designing and installing the mechanical systems and insulation. The final details of the interior are being ironed out – but essentially, this will be a very handsome mahogany raised panel interior that will complement the exterior design perfectly – both designed by the prestigious Hoek Design office. The plan it to have the yacht ready for the 2016 summer season. THE INTERVIEW - NIGEL INGRAM / PETER WILSON : MCM SUPERYACHT BUSINESS / APRIL 2014 CAREER DETAILS • Nigel Ingram: has spent most of his life involved in professional yachting, first as a racing sailor and subsequently as a yacht captain travelling extensively all over the world. British-born, Ingram settled in Newport, Rhode Island (US), and as captain he oversaw the construction of several sailing yachts which implanted the idea for MCM. During this time he also took over a small boatbuilding company in Newport, building and refitting yachts. • Peter Wilson: Prior to the establishment of MCM, Peter Wilson crewed on yachts, working his way up from crew to captain, sailing tens of thousands of miles spanning the world’s oceans. He raced in the grand prix maxi circuit and took part in seven America’s Cup campaigns in roles ranging from boatbuilder and shore manager to technology and design director. He learnt the boatbuilding trade when he joined Newport Offshore as fabricator/welder building 12m yachts for the America’s Cup and IOR racing yachts.

  • SLACKTIDE's Sea Trials: Breaking in Our T26x7 Part
    SLACKTIDE's Sea Trials: Breaking in our T26x7 Dave Zeiger © 2010 www.TriloBoats.com Part 1 of 4 Introduction Anke and I have just completed our first season's cruising SLACKTIDE in SE Alaskan waters. She's a 26' x 7' x 1', engine-free, junk ketch-rigged sailing barge of my design (plans and more pics at our website). She's not one of those curvacious barge-babes, either, but a four-square and unrepentant box barge. Years ago I read that it was once common to convert smallish box barges, originally built to service bridges, into sailing cruisers. My memory paraphrases the passage thus: These little yachts, generally gaff-rigged and sporting leeboards, were surprisingly beloved by their owners. They could be found tucked away in backwaters one would think only accessible to more able vessels.1 1 I think I read this in a book on small boat conversions, but have lost the source. If you know it, please drop me a line at [email protected]. --Thanks! I skimmed that passage in passing, along with its appealing pen and ink sketch of one, anchored in obvious contentment. Interesting, but I'd never seen such a barge – they seem to belong to times past. Yet the memory lay dormant for two decades before pushing through the mud of my id. Being by nature a penny pinching breed of sloth, I was finally led by circuitous routes back to the box barge. Plywood replaces the planks of yore, but like their inspirators, TriloBoats are, as boats go, extremely cheap and easy to build.

All information is provided in good faith. Port of Amsterdam and HISWA Holland Yachting Group take no legal responsibility for the accuracy, truthfulness or reliability of the information provided. 2 Introduction Dear reader, The appeal of Amsterdam as a destination for superyachts – both in its own right and as a port of call enroute to Scandinavia and beyond – is increasingly on the radar of superyacht owners and captains. Port of Amsterdam and HISWA Holland Yachting Group are working closely together with other parties turning Amsterdam into the superyacht hub of Northern Europe and beyond. Amsterdam’s prime geographical location and friendly regulatory environment for large yachts is backed up by superb mooring spots in the heart of the city and the rich diversity of leisure opportunities on offer. The city is ideally situated as a start or ending point for the Northern European Route. Moreover, the options for refits are growing fast and there is a dense web of superyacht building yards, designers and suppliers in close proximity of the city. Amsterdam is a city of great traditions and has a rich history. One of the traditions we embrace is the hand-over of the plaque and key of the city to ships during their first call. We continue this tradition for visiting superyachts. Captains and owners are pleased to receive this warm welcome and at the same time it gives us the opportunity to explain more about Amsterdam and the Northern European Route.

  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

  • December 2013
    December, 2013 In Memoriam Buzz Olson, CYA Founding Member #2 Not that long ago back in 2008, CYA Member #1, founding member Bob Ekoos crossed the bar. And now, just three months ago, CYA Member #2 and founding member A. H. "Buzz" Olson joined his friend and boating compatriot. What they started back in 1970 is history, as they say, and it is a history that has substance and meaning and is so important for us now and for the future. How Buzz and Bob met, and how CYA was started, is a tale to tell. As Buzz told the story at an Oceanside, CA, CYA event in 2001, he was sitting on his boat at Catalina Island back in 1970 when this fellow rowed up in a dinghy. It was Bob Ekoos. Buzz invited him on board and they began comparing notes on their old boats. There were "old" boats even back in 1970! As they talked, Bob said that he was thinking about starting a club of old wood yachts/owners and would Buzz be interested. Buzz said sure, and the CYA was born. Buzz Olson was one of a dozen local southern California classic boat owners who attended a meeting called by Bob Ekoos at Long Beach Yacht Club to see if there was more widespread interest in forming a special club for their fine old boats. There was, and the momentum continued to grow. Several more organizational meetings were held that year, and our founding group of 18 agreed upon a purpose for their new club: “To promote the preservation, restoration and maintenance of fine, old, power-driven pleasure craft.” That phrase should sound very familiar to you.

  • A Guide to Yacht Finance
    A GUIDE TO YACHT FINANCE Those seeking to purchase a yacht or superyacht may often need to borrow the funds in order to buy it. But there are a number of other financially sound reasons to pursue this route, even if you have already amassed enough wealth to buy the asset in the first place. These include both practical and legal arguments ranging from running-cost benefits to tax advantages. In this article, Jonathan Hadley-Piggin provides a definitive guide to yacht finance. Jonathan Hadley-Piggin 020 3319 3700 [email protected] www.keystonelaw.co.uk REGISTRATION AND FLAG PREFERENCE A flag state is the country under whose laws a yacht is registered. This might be the country in which the owner lives or a ship registry in a country more synonymous with the complexities that surround charters and yacht ownership. Registration also grants the privilege and protection of flying the flag of that particular country. Every maritime nation, and even some land-locked countries such as Switzerland, has a system of ship registration that permits the registration of mortgages and other security interests. In 1993, a centralised UK registry replaced the system of individual registries in each major port. The centralised registry is divided into four separate parts, of which two are relevant to yachts: PART I PART III This is the main register consisting of merchant ships This is for small ships of under twenty-four metres and yachts alike. It is a full title register and has the in length. Known as the Small Ships Registry (abbr.

This one is “readin’ both pages.” Shortly after designing the BAHAMA SANDPIPER I was hired by Crozier Fox, Tom Morris’s neighbor and also a boatbuilder, to design a 32 foot keel-centerboarder that he named the WHISTLER 32. His boatyard Able Marine had been building small trailerable sailboats and wanted to add something larger. A brilliant promoter named Garry Hoyt had spent a couple of years and a great deal of effort extolling the virtues of the cat-ketch rig. It’s a lot easier to steal an idea than to invent one and Cro and I just thought we’d grab a small chunk of the market Garry had created. The WHISTLER 32 had a lot of virtues and few flaws. As had become my habit I carved a half model and used it to develop her conservative, beamy hull shape. The keel was shallow and undulated aft to meet the bottom of the rudder. This was a shape with a lot of wetted surface which I matched with a big sailplan. I believe this combination makes the best possible offshore cruiser since the hull has significant “engagement with the water” and can press on when boats with less lateral plane are overwhelmed.
