Welcome to the 21st Annual Providence Boat Show!

s CEO of the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association (RIMTA), I have the privilege of working in the marine industry and going to a lot of boat shows. I am always excited to see new boats and the latest gear and bump into friends from the industry. But Ive never been more excited about a boat show than I am about this years Providence Boat Show. RIMTA purchased this show a short 100 days ago. I say short because those last hundred days are a blur, filled with creative meetings and intensive planning and the hard work of executing to make sure this three-day event provides you and your family with everything you need to enjoy your time on the water safely and in style. But to do that, we have gone the extra mile. Not only did we work hard with our industry, to ensure this show is an excellent marketplace with exhibitors from throughout the region bringing the latest boats and gear for sailors, powerboaters, and fishing enthusiasts. We have also built an indoor expo that incorporates learning, activities and inspirationall wrapped into an event that showcases what the Ocean State offers to boaters. This is the closest you can get to our great New England coast, without water! This years show is different from past

Navigating the Show

years, so here are tips on navigating. First, make sure you visit our Show Pavilion. Often. Its a new hub of activity, with live sea-to-table chef demonstrations, visits from stars of the boating world, and great activitiessuch as a chance to operate a bridge simulator or surf on dry land. (To figure out how thats possible, go check it out!) To learn about whats taking place at the Pavilion, turn to page 7 and see our Show Highlights, along with our Seminars & Special Events Calendar (page 14). Another new area of the show is the H20 Zone. Its the go-to center for anyone interested in getting out on the water in small watercraft. The Zone has boats, experts, learning opportunities, and plenty of inspiration. Its a great place if you want to help your child get out on the water, or if you have dreamed of setting off on a small boat of your very own. Free seminars on a wide range of topicsfrom how to use the latest navigation apps to how to catch more fishare included in your ticket price. The everpopular Captain Jack Sprengel is back with a team of experts to run our Sport Fishing Series. And John Martino of the Annapolis School of Seamanship has also put together a team of experts to lead sessions on Navigation & Seamanship. Turn to page 14 to choose your sessions. The show would not be complete without visits from Rhode Island celebritiesand let me tell you, we have a great treat in store for you. On Friday afternoon Newporter Rome Kirby, a member of the winning Americas Cup crew Oracle Team USA, will be here! If there is sailing royalty, Rome is it. His father Jerry Kirby is a veteran Americas Cup racer. From an early age, Rome demonstrated the focus, talent, and heart to make it in the big leagues, and we have him and his crew to thank for keeping the Americas Cup in America. Join us on Friday at 5 pm at the Show Pavilion to help us honor Rome with the RIMTA Boater of the Year Award. I could go on and on. (Can you tell I am a little enthusiastic about this boat show?) But Id like to end by saying thank you to those who have made this event happen. Thank you to our exhibitors. RIMTA is a new owner of this show, and it would have been easy to stay on the sidelines. But our exhibitors trusted us to produce a top-notch show and signed on in full force, including many new exhibitors as well as sailing companies returning to the show after a long absence. Id like to thank our event sponsors, including Kellogg Marine Supply, a wholesale supplier of boating products that has been in business since 1938; Starkweather & Shepley Insurance Brokerage and their excellent team of marine experts who serve our industry so well; Tasca Chrysler Dodge Jeep

RAM, for being one of our states leading automotive dealers and for showcasing a beautiful new RAM truck at our Show Pavilion; and Wild Things, an expert at using high-tech fabrics to make apparel for U.S. Special Forces and U.S. Navy SEALs that is plenty durable enough for all of us who sail and fish and do just about any activity outdoors. Wild Things custom-built our show team apparel; watch for their team as they travel the show with great giveaways. Thank you to Jamestown Distributors, sponsor of our Boats Work for Rhode Island career activity areas, and to KEEL Vodka and Ciders of Spain. And finally, Id like to thank you, our showgoers. Without you there would be no boat show. So water enthusiasts and adventure-seekers everywhere, grab your PFD and Let the Boating Begin! You are about to see a show where you can explore Rhode Islandits hot spots and hideaways, its marine industry, and its legacy as the Ocean State.

Use This Show For All It's Worth

By Zach Harvey

Some nonpartisan wisdom on getting the most out of a day at the Providence Boat Show

n the interest of full disclosure, I admit that my writing career has landed me at a great many local and national boat shows in a great many booths over well more than a decadeoften back-to-back-to-back shows in what amounted to 30- or 40-consecutive-work-day marathons that left me comatose. Ive also read a quadrillion overzealous boat show press releases over the years (You will recall years from now that the show was the single greatest day anyone ever had doing anything is only a minor exaggeration of a couple doozies I received years ago.) The very sight of one on my desk still sends me into a seizure of eye-rolling cynicism. It might be that Im not the guy to write a piece on getting the most out of the showwhich is, I think, the exact reason Im the right man for the job. I have no personal economic stake in show attendance. Nor am I in the market for a 40-foot, quad-outboard canyon day boat this winter. Even so, I believe the Providence Show, and well-run boat shows in general, remain a critical piece of the boat-shopping process. The trick is to use the show for the things it does best. Pre-show, set aside time to take a realistic inventory of your own actual needs relative to the boat you seek. Think about how often youre apt to fish truly big water in near-gales: It may well be that that big, beautiful Carolina hull and its big, bold associated price tag will be big-time overkill.

It might prove more important to channel the dollars toward, for example, basic comforts like a small vee berth, maybe an enclosed head to make the proposition of a day on the water with Dad a bit more appealing to the wife, young son, and daughters. Or, the shoreline places you want to fish may line up better with a shallowerdraft, more nimble skiffa smaller craft with fewer bells and whistles, easier to handle, its lack of amenities no big deal since youll be fishing solo more than not. The examples are endless, but the points the same: Be honest with yourself about what you really need. Impulsive decisions at the dealer will cost you enjoyment when it matters. Whether or not youve done much soulsearching relative to your future boat, the show can be a great tool, not necessarily to save the last dollar, or the free-stuff yield of your foraging in the aisles. Simple as it sounds, the people are the first and best reason to be here. Meeting with these folks one after the other lets you give real consideration to the person behind the business from whom you will or will not eventually buy. Your ownership experience will be substantially more pleasant if you can access a good teacher or two, particularly near your slip. That starts with the person who furnishes your new ride. Put real effort into vetting the folks who are competing for your business. To take it a step further, Id say that given the num-

ber of sharp-looking, carefully engineered, solidly constructed boats on the market, a first-time buyer might do best shopping in reverse, so to speak, choosing a boat around the folks who will stand behind her after the sale goes through and the commissions spent. Ive heard it from a broad array of seasoned boat owners over enough years to regard it as sound advice that its also wise to buy from a dealership that can perform factory-authorized service and warranty work for hulls and engine(s) they sell. A detailed analysis of two comparable boats respective strengths and weaknessesand a battery of questions that, as the saying goes, work both ends against the middlecan reveal a tremendous amount of information about both models, and help you pressure test the reps involved. The reality of buying a production boat, even a custom one, is that compromises are everywhere: Stability for speed, cost against size, fishability for creature comforts, headsea performance for following-sea performance, etc. What youre after, more than floating perfection, is the closest possible match for your familys and your expectations, given financial reality. Checking out a handful of boats you like, not one at a time over weeks, but all at once and in relation to each other, is probably one of the best ways to narrow the fieldand the show is about the only time youll be able to pull it off efficiently (and on foot).

Obvious as it sounds, the act of stepping onto a boat will instantly generateand answer100 questions that could never occur to you after watching 300 virtual walkthroughs of the same vessel. Its not a sea trial (the dealership does that part best), but you might be surprised how many boats youll DQ or fall for, and more importantly, how well the simple act of boarding the boat can help you define the nuts-and-bolts of your preferences. Sideby-side scrutiny is invaluable. A boat is a complex network of interdependent mechanical and electronic systems that will, if all goes well, drop right into the worst, most hostile environment for machinery of any kindthe open ocean. You have to keep that last bit in perspective: The fact that time and tide will adversely affect the boats condition. Accept that at some point something is going to break at which time youll will need to put your boat in trustworthy hands for repair. So pick up a SeaTow membership and get on with finding folks you can trust when you need them. Take advantage of the experience at the show. Seasoned hands in every aisle can help you make sense of the dizzying array of choiceshelp you stretch your buck a long way if you let them, and care for you and your new purchase for years to come.

Make Rhode Island Your Boating Home

By Cynthia Goss

ou may be one of the lucky ones. You and your boat may already live inside the borders of the Ocean State. You have access to stunning coastline; your boat is serviced by Rhode Islands experienced marine-trades professionals; and to top it off, youre residing in a state with a no-sales-tax policy on boats and boating services. But if youre not already lucky enough to have a Rhode Island address for your boat, read on. Approximately half of the 44,000 registered boaters in Rhode Island live in other states. These individuals understandjust like the locals dowhy the Ocean State is the best place to spend your on-the-water hours. So if you are considering joining them, visiting the Providence Boat Show is a perfect first step.

rene anchorages, to historic New England towns and villages, to bustling city waterfronts. But dont take our word for it. Use the boat show as a prime place to do your homework. BUILD YOUR LOCAL KNOWLEDGE Marinas, service providers, boat brokers and manufacturers are all coming to the Providence Boat Showso your research trip to the show is a one-stop affair. Dons Marine, Brewer Yacht Yards, Conanicut Marine Services in Jamestown, Bristol Marine, Pirate Cove Marine on the Sakonnet River, Striper Marina, and Ocean House Marina on Ninigret Pond are just some of the yards and marinas heading to the show. If being green is of utmost important to you, visit the folks at Conanicut Marine and ask about their new solar photovoltaic system. The systemwhich was unveiled this fallnot only provides 100% solar power to the 10-acre yard; it also provides power to National Grid under the Rhode Island Distributed Generation Program, thereby saving a significant amount of fossil fuel over the years to come and making Conanicut Marine the largest renewable-energy facility to be developed in the states marine trades to date. Talking to local boat brokers with strong local knowledge is another great way to find out about their inventory and the services and facilities they would recommend if you bought a boat through them. Coming to the boat show are local brokers Latitude Yacht Brokerage, with offices in Newport, and Fleet Yacht Sales in Bristol. And dont miss the Cruising Rhode Island seminar on Saturday afternoon with Captain Frank Skip Litterer of Boatwise Marine Training. Captain Skip will not only give you tips on cruise planning, but he will also give you inside knowledge about the Ocean State coast. TESTING THE WATERS If you are just looking to test the waters, consider a fractional ownership arrangement, such as those offered by Freedom Boat Club and Narragansett Sailing. By joining Freedom Boat Club, with multiple locations in Rhode Island, you gain access to their fleet of sail and powerboatsso you get the joy of owning a boat, without doing the maintenance and paying all the bills. Narragansett Sailing also offers instruction and charters, which are both great ways to spend more time in Rhode

Island waters. Rhode Island also has two of the nations leading communityboating centers, which offer affordable access to the water, including the Community Boating Center of Providence and Sail Newport. NO SALES TAX ON BOATS Rhode Island does not charge a sales tax on boats that are purchased and registered in the state, and the no-sales-tax also applies to boating services, such as refits, repairs, storage, mooring and berthing. A lot more people in the nation got to know about the statewide policy when the story about Senator John Kerry berthing his 76-foot sloop in Rhode Island and saving roughly $500,000 in state taxes broke in the national news in 2010. But, as Wendy Mackie points out, this no-tax policy is not designed to benefit wealthy yacht owners. The policy helps support the boating industry in Rhode Islandan industry that helps drive the state economy and creates a large number of jobs for Rhode Islanders. The latest quantitative tally of the marine industry in the state sized the Rhode Island boating business as paying

over $260 million in income to Rhode Island workers. The state legislature clearly sees the benefit of this no-tax policy on boats. Although RIMTA and the industry keep a full-press effort on to educate lawmakers and keep this policy in place, this benefit to the boating industry and to boaters has been in place since the Sales Tax Repeal of 1993. But for people like Wendy Mackie, the no-tax policy is icing on the cake. She and many others know that when it comes to finding a boating home, no other place on the globe can compete with Rhode Islands coastlineits beauty, its diversity and its vibrant hub of marine business.

TAILORMADE FOR BOATING Rhode Island is a state that is tailor-made for the boating industry, with its small geographic shape and 400 miles of coastline, a high concentration of marine-industry companies, strong workforce development programs to ensure industry excellence, and a tax-free policy on boats that make Rhode Island the envy of its neighboring states. When you look at the marine industry on a global scale, there are few places on Earth that have such a dense concentration of high-quality, diverse marine companies, says Wendy Mackie, CEO of the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association (RIMTA), the new owners of the Providence Boat Show. And when it comes to being a boating mecca, many who know the Rhode Island coast refer to the state as the British Virgin Islands of the North. Sailors well know the BVI chainwith its wealth of good anchorages, excellent cruising grounds, and charter companies and service providers that dot nearly every island. Head about 1400 nautical miles northnorthwest and youll find another mecca in Rhode Island. Even if you only know Newport and Block Island, you may be surprised to learn that the Ocean State has 300 harbors and true diversityfrom seRHODE ISLAND 6

By Cynthia Goss
VISIT CENTER STAGE This year the Providence Boat Show has produced a center stageand its located at our new Show Pavilion. Its the hub of the show and the place to catch star personalities and special events. See how the regions leading chefs prepare their catch; meet the Rhode Island author who captured a harrowing tale of survival at sea; listen to the story of how a famous Tall Ship was built. The Show Pavilion is also the place to find fun, interactive events for all ages. Try your hand at a bridge simulator and test your boat-handling skills in a variety of challenging circumstances and weather conditions. How about surfing on dry land? Come to the Pavilion to take a lesson on a SURFSET board, a total-body surf trainer designed to simulate the physical demands of surfing, with instructors from FloorTime Studios. You can also hone your seamanship skills in a seminar on line handling; impress your crew by mastering the art of lassoing a piling from 20 feet away. Check the Seminars & Special Events Calendar (turn to page 14) to find out whats taking place at the Pavilion, and read on for more details about individual events. We hope Green will have a chance to ask Rome what it was like to be a part of the most amazing turnaround in sporting history, when Oracle Team USA came back from what seemed to be insurmountable odds to win the Americas Cup. And we hope hell ask Rome, whats next? Because really, we all want to know.

MEET ROME KIRBY! Rome Kirby, a Newport native in his mid-20s, has already won the Americas Cup with Oracle Team USA and circled the globe in the grueling Volvo Ocean Race. But really, hes just getting started. If you are lucky enough to be at the show on Friday, please come to the Show Pavilion at 5 pm to help us honor Rome with the RIMTA Boater of the Year Award. Rhode Island dignitaries and industry leaders will be joining the ceremony, along with Americas Cup commentator Andy Green, who will emcee.

Rome Kirby is from a sailing family and not just the kind that wins weekend races. His father Jerry is a veteran of six Americas Cup campaigns. Rome saw what it was like to sail at a grand-prix level most of his life, and he decided early on that being a sailor was the life for him. As reported in a recent New York Times article by Christopher Clary, Jerry Kirby used to tell his son: Make sure you get your education; have a Plan B. And his son would tell him, Dad, I have a Plan B. Its Plan A. And we all know how that turned out. Come to the show on Friday to meet a Rhode Islander who has brought a bit of the Americas Cups shimmer back to Newport. Rome will also be at the show on Saturday, from 12 noon to 2 pm, at the H20 Zone and the Boats Work for Rhode Island activity areas. And if you have young sailors in tow, make sure you bring them along. For after meeting Rome, how could they not be inspired to reach for their dreams too? FRIDAY NIGHT KICK-OFF Boat shows are all about comparison shopping for boats and gear, gathering information on products, talking to experts, and making a gameplan for the season ahead. Right? Well, we all know thats only part of the story. A good boat show is all that, but its also about getting some downtime by catching up with friends and making new ones. This year weve built that social hour (or two) right into the show schedule. continued on page 8

Show Highlights (continued from page 7) At 6 pm on Friday night, several exhibitors will start the celebration by hosting some tailgating at their booths. Then at 7 pm, the First Annual Providence Boat Show Kick-Off Party will begin. The Kick-Off Party runs until 9 pm and it will be a Whos Who event. Americas Cup racer Rome Kirby will join us. And if you enjoyed the commentary at the Americas Cup by match-racing guru Andy Green, then youll have a chance to meet him in person. Matt Light of New England Patriots fame will also send a video message to help kick off a successful show and a great Super Bowl weekend. You might ask, whats the connection between an NFL star and boating? Well, it all has to do with vodka KEEL Vodka is a sponsor of the KickOff Party. The company was founded by native Rhode Islanders Bill Dessel and Tom McGowan, who grew up around boats. When they founded KEEL Vodka, they teamed up with good friend and three-time Super Bowl winner Light to establish a company that is a tried-andtrue Ocean State brand and not something cooked up by a marketing team sitting on the 52nd floor of a Manhattan office building. Ciders of Spain and

owner James Asbel will also join us. Asbel became fascinated by Spains culture and its cider region when he first visited as a student, and he is bringing a Spanish taste sensation to the show. Learn more about the history and technique of making sidra and sample pours of three types. Boston Cigars and live acoustic music of Mark Purcell are also featured at the event. There is limited availability; inquire at the ticket booth about getting a ticket to the party.

Captain Jack Sprengel

CAPTAIN JACK IS BACK! The Providence Boat Show is new and improved this year, with attractions that have never been seen before at this three-day winter show. But one ultrapopular feature that has remained a core

attraction are the fishing seminars organized by Captain Jack Sprengel of East Coast Charters and his crew of experts. Captain Jack is indeed back, but this time he has outdone himself with a new series of seminars and some special seato-table chef demonstrations that you wont want to miss. From how to catch more fish, to a new perspective on tautog fishing, to light tackle kayak fishing, its all hereand then some. Captain Jack has brought back some of last years favorite speakers who are presenting on new popular subjects. But he has also reached out to very specialized and less commercialized guest speakers. If you dont recognize some names on the line up, its because they spend more time avoiding the spotlight rather than calling attention to what they are doing, says Captain Jack. These guys are some of the best at what they doand they come with my personal seal of approval. Captain Jack was also able to enlist New England fishing Icon Dave Pickering with a brand-new presentation for this years show. With over 50 years of New England sport fishing under his belt, I have never personally had a conversation with Dave where I havent learned something new, says Captain Jack.

To ice the whole proverbial cake, as Captain Jack says, one of the boat shows culinary presentations has been elevated to a new level. On Saturday and Sunday, Captain Louis J. Defusco and Chef Phyllis Affra of Blaze Restaurant in Providence will do a special two-part demonstration. Using two fresh, wildcaught tuna, Captain Lou will demonstrate the proper way to cut and process a whole fresh tuna, and Chef Affra will prepare this fish using the latest in American Fusion culinary technique. This demo joins more sea-to-table chef demonstrations that take place throughout the boat show at the Show Pavilion.

LEARN MORE, ENJOY MORE This year, the Providence Boat Show has launched a new seminar series on Navigation & Seamanship. Captain John Martino of the Annapolis School of Seamanship has coordinated sessions on topics for a wide cross-section of boaters, and he has worked with Rhode Island outfits Confident Captain, Safe/ Sea, and Captain Frank Skip Litterer of Boatwise Marine Training to develop the series. The ultimate goal of the series is to help you net more enjoyment from your time on the water. Boating instruction helps you enjoy your boat more, says Confident Captain President Kent Dresser. There are great lessons to be learned from professional instructors: they help take the worry out of a boaters day, they instill confidence, and they ultimately help boaters have

more fun out on the water. Dresser will lead a session on handling your boat like a pro, which will focus on maneuvering in close-quarters situations. If youre one of those boaters who tends to stick close to your homeport, but you have a desire to venture out into new waters, you wont want to miss a session led by Captain Frank Skip Litterer on Cruising Rhode Island on Saturday afternoon. Not only will you get excellent advice on how to plan a cruise; youll also pick up a lot of local knowledge from Captain Skip, who is one of the captains on the Jamestown-Newport Ferry and also does on-the-water training and boat deliveries in Rhode Island waters. All Navigation & Seamanship Seminars are included in the price of your boat show ticket, except for two Premium Seminars being held on Friday and Saturday mornings, including a session on Electronic Navigation & RADAR and a session on Troubleshooting Your Diesel Engine: Strategy, not Guesswork. Turn to our Seminars & Special Events Calendar on page 14 for more on these valuable learning opportunities. continued on page 10

SHOP BOATS, SHOP CAREERS One of the key elements that makes Rhode Island a global leader in the marine trades is its well-trained workforce. The Ocean State is fortunate to have many individuals with both the skills and the passion to work around boats.

AN INCREDIBLE SEA TALE When admiralty lawyer John Fulweiler continued on page 11

Show Highlights (continued from page 10) heard a radio report about the incredible survival of Joe Grossa 51-yearold who fell overboard while returning from Block Island and swam alone in the Atlantic Ocean for 11 hours without floatation before being rescued by the U.S. Coast Guardhe was more than intrigued. What were the circumstances surrounding this event? How could one person hang on for such a long time, not knowing if rescue was coming? When Fulweiler heard nothing more reported about Grosss story, he called him up and asked to meet. Fulweiler went to that meeting with the idea of writing an article, but he soon realized there was a book-length tale to tell. I think I suffer from what a lot of lawyers suffer from, laughs Fulweiler. I am a novelist at heart I am always interested in a good storyand that is part of my career: taking facts and turning them into a story.

owners. VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SHOT All of us go boating to enjoy our time on the waterbut its not just what we do once we are out there that is so satisfying: its also the incredible views we see, whether those are scenes of fast-paced sailboat racing, sport-fishing action, or the tranquility of a beautiful sunset. This year, the Providence Boat Show is honoring those scenes with its first-ever photo contest.

Oliver Hazard Perry on the water

Fulweiler published the sea story of Joe Gross in his recent book, A Swim: The Rhode Islander Who Refused to Drown, and he will be at the Providence Boat Show to talk about this amazing sea story. The book looks first at this happening from the perspective of Joe Gross, who fell overboard when he was out alone on his boat. The book also looks at the story from the perspective of the Coastguardsmen, the professionals who eventually rescued Gross and achieved the amazing feat of finding something half the size of a coconut in a rocky sea. A Rhode Island native, Fulweiler tells a good sea story because he has a lifetime of experience around boats. He worked in the marine industry, in places such as Conanicut Marine Services and Safe/ Sea, before heading to the University of Rhode Islands Marine Affairs program and law school. Come meet Fulweiler, learn about this incredible story, get a copy of A Swim, and hear his take on the important lessons learned. BUILDING R.I.S TALL SHIP Come to the Show Pavilion on Sunday

afternoon to hear a Cinderella story about a boat. Not just any boat: the historic Rhode Island Tall Ship Oliver Hazard Perry that, once launched, will become the first ocean-going, fullyrigged ship built in the United States in 110 years. Thats a glorious ending for a vessel that was once an unfinished steel hull, abandoned on Ontario. The entire project started as the seed of an idea, when a group of Rhode Islanders decided that the Ocean State should have its own Tall Ship to give students of all ages an opportunity to expand their educational horizons. The group started negotiatios with owners of the HMS Rose, the replica 18th-century Royal Navy frigate. But Hollywood beckoned, and the Rose sailed west to play a starring role in the film Master and Commander: Far Side of the World. Disappointment turned to serendipity when the groups attentions then turned inland, to a fledgling group in Ontario that had started to build a replica of the Royal Navy gun sloop HMS Detroit from the War of 1812. The steel hull was towed down the Erie Canal, and 892 miles later it had reached its new home in Rhode Island. Learn about a fascinating six years, from the vessels arrival in Rhode Island to its pending completion, from Captain Richard Bailey and Jessica Wurzbacher, director of operations and education for the vessels owners, the nonprofit group Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island. Attendees to this talk will get an added bonus: a chance to win a one-day trainee position aboard the vessel in May 2014. This position is a chance to experience sailing aboard the new Tall Ship. According to the vessels owners, the Sailing School Vessel Oliver Hazard Perry will be a U.S.documented vessel, inspected and certified by the U.S. Coast Guard. Safety standards for Sailing School Vessels differ from those of passenger vessels on a comparable route, because persons aboard training ships are not passengers but participants who fully share in the ships operation. SSV Oliver Hazard Perry will meet or exceed all safety requirements for a vessel of her size and class, according to the vessels

FRIDAY, JANUARY 31
Friday / 10:00 am 12 noon PREMIUM SEMINAR: Electronic Navigation & RADAR Series: Navigation & Seamanship For centuries mariners never really knew where they were. Nowadays, we not only know our exact position: the world of modern electronics can tell us who and what is near us, how close they will come, and what weather is over the horizon. Your electronics can even steer your boat home. But that level of sophistication requires training, so you can utilize the incredible tools available to todays mariners. This premium seminar will tackle the alphabet soup of modern navigational electronics and offer interactive exercises on RADAR screen interpretation and the use of chart plotter technology. NOTE: Premium Seminars are $99 and include one-on-one time with the knowledgeable staff of the Annapolis School of Seamanship. This ticket also includes your one-day pass to the show, a complimentary ticket to the show (bring a companion or return the following day), as well as a $50 gift certificate for a future Annapolis School of Seamanship course.

Ocean State Crudo By Lisa Helme Danforth and Julianna Henriques

Welcome to our ongoing series highlighting Rhode Islands fresh seafood in the growing trend of providing local and sustainable fish and shellfish to consumers and restaurants. In this Sea-to-Table column, we highlight a different seafood each month, interview the folks who grow and catch the food, as well as the restaurant owners and chefs who prepare it. We feature their favorite recipes along with wine and beer pairings to enhance the experience. We invite you to enjoy our recommendations and to submit your own to us at www.coastalanglermag.com/rhodeisland.

rudo, Chef John Kolesar tells us, is the Mediterranean answer to Sashimi. But hold the wasabi and soy sauce, and delve into his mouth-watering preparation using an orange citrus vinaigrette, cherry tomatoes, piquillo peppers and Kalamata olivestypical Italian flavors! Growing up in an Italian household on the East Coast, Chef John knows by instinct as well as education and experience what ingredients pair well to create a traditional coastal Crudo. Braised baby fennel, radishes and pickled butternut squash ribbons round out his beautifully composed dish.

Some fishermen dont have galleys on their boats, so a raw dish is a great way to go, says Chef John, Executive Chef of the famous Ocean House Resort in Watch Hill. Hand-sliced thinly and served with pickled winter vegetables, Chef Johns Fluke Crudo is sure to draw a crowd. Fluke, as we detailed in our July issue last year, is a delicious white fish and plentiful in our Rhode Island waters yearround. From the large doormats easily found in the summer to the smaller dab available now, it is a light fish enjoyed with ingredients that dont overpower it. Just make sure all the flavors blend

together well, says Chef John. Janice McEachen, Ocean Houses Food Forager, agrees. Shes responsible for procuring the fresh, local and seasonal ingredients served in Chef Johns dishes. And she is available to guests as well, leading culinary classes as an activity at the resort as well as taking them on organized trips to the fishing docks, local farms and hot houses. When asked if shes ever foraged the forests herself for fresh herbs or wild greens, she laughs and answers, Sure, its fun! But the USDA certainly wouldnt allow us to serve that to our guests. Indeed not...all of the restaurants at

Ocean House in Watch Hill are staffed by top chefs and overseen by Chef John. And ditto for The Weekapaug in Westerly, the sister resort of The Ocean House, which is overseen by Executive Chef Jennifer Backman, who we wrote about in the December issue. Both Chef John and Chef Jennifer are graduates of our own Johnston and Wales University, and together have almost 25 years of experience cooking in our Ocean State. Head Sommelier for the two Relais & Chateaux resorts, Jonathan Feiler, hails from another Culinary Institutethat one over in Hyde Parkbut he has more than proven himself to traveling Rho-

dies with his years of experience at Commanders Palace in New Orleans, the Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare at the Wynn in Las Vegas and the Sinatra Restaurant at the Encore Las Vegas, where he received Wine Spectators Best of Award of Excellence for his Italian wine-focused list. So we had to ask...what would pair well with Chef Johns Fluke Crudo? Hands down, OH Sommelier Jonathan recommends an Italian Gavi di Gavi, but says other light white wines would work as well, such as a Fume Blanc or even a Spanish Albarino. By the way, Sommelier Jonathan is hosting an Australian Wine weekend on February 21-22 at Ocean House and would love to see some of our Anglers join him for the tastings. Iphone alert! And what about beer with Fluke Crudo...why not? Chef Jennifer of the Weekapaug Inn thinks that beer is a great accompaniment for anything served with pickled vegetables, including fish. She suggests Two Roads Brewing Companys Workers Comp beer from New England to pair well with the spice and citrus of the Crudo. As a matter of fact, on February 19th, 7-9pm, Jennifer will

be hosting a Family-Style Dinner at the Inn where Craft Beers will be served with each of three courses, including fried Matunuck Oysters. Our calendar is filling up! From Chef Johns filet demonstration and hand-sliced Fluke Crudo to Chef Jennifers Three-Course Beer Dinner to Sommelier Jonathans Australian Wine Weekend, we are sure to eat, drink and be merry this month!

the centuries. The city continually garners numerous accolades for its food culture, including Travel + Leisure readers recently voting Providence one of the top dining destinations in the United States. There are some great restaurants located just steps away from the RICC. For those looking for a quick bite at a low price, the food and ambience at Murphys Deli (100 Fountain Street) is a great bet. They pack their sandwiches high and serve their drinks cold, making this large Irish pub a local favorite. Beer lovers follow their taste buds to Trinity Brewhouse (186 Fountain Street). This local landmark and award-winning microbrewery has been pleasing discerning palates since 1995. Union Station Brewery (36 Exchange Terrace) is another long-standing brewery that offers a variety of styles in a casual atmosphere, with loads of exposed brick and beams. The name is a nod to the old train station that formerly occupied the spot. Providence was recently named the top city in the country for both pizza and burgers by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. Harrys Burger Bar (121 North Main Street) specializes in sliders and other tasty apps while Providence Coal Fired Pizza (385 Westminster Street) promises delicious pizza and crispy chicken wings. Sports fans who want to catch the big game can score big in Providence. With great food and drink options, the city is a real home field advantage for a great game-watching experience.
