Inspired interiors crafted with pride.

A
Marlow Explorer® interior is the perfect blending of old
world craftsmanship with space age materials to create an
environment that is inspirational and distinct to Marlow.
In an effort to preserve our valuable teak forests throughout the
world each Explorer interior is crafted from a single teak log.
This ensures that the grain is all cross-matched and each yacht is
consistent in appearance.
Taking a note from the aviation industry, the use of honey-combed
core material saves weight and provides a strong and durable base
for many of our surfaces which don’t require solid wood or stone
fabrication. A simple drawer tells the story of the pride our craftsmen
take in their efforts; dovetail joints, a solid wood bottom and not
a single razor blades width seam visible anywhere. Next, examine
the finish in either gloss or matte, perfectly applied and sanded to a
glass smooth surface on the wood. In a word… Perfect.

A N A NGRY OCE A N
here is a waypoint about 50 miles southeast of Ocean City, Maryland, and

T 12 years ago this month, it’s where I started going gray. A silver anniversary,
of sorts.
Our five-man crew was en route to the Ocean City inlet when the skies
darkened, the wind whipped into a frenzy and the seas went from fairly flat to furious. It
was about 3 p.m., according to the boat’s GPS, but it looked like midnight on the bridge
deck. The only way home was straight into the building waves.
We scurried around the boat, securing everything loose that could potentially cause
a load shift. Then we gathered on the bridge deck, looking above the helm station for the
life jackets. My friend Paul, seeking to lighten an otherwise tense moment, said: “I see
my life jacket. It’s got my name on it. It says adult.”
The chuckle was welcome as we maneuvered around the boat on our knees (standing or
walking safely was not an option). White-topped waves surrounded us, at times breaking

onto the boat and pushing us around as if the vessel were weightless. The sound of the seas
cresting as each new set approached kept everyone wide-eyed like Wile E. Coyote after
he realizes another Acme device is about to go kablooey on him. Often, one of us would
call out, “Whoa!” or “Watch Out!” when a wave — somehow larger and angrier than the
last — came rolling at us. Several times, the sea left from under our boat’s hull and she
fell into a deep trough. The thunk was impressive when we reconnected with the water,
leaving us all spine-tingled and about a half-inch shorter than how we had started the day.
Wheel watches alternated every 45 minutes. Fortunately, the fuel kept flowing. The
engines kept running. During the next six-plus hours, we trudged onward. The seas
eventually fell off. A brightly lit Ocean City boardwalk came into view. We had made it.
The next morning, our crew was supposed to head out, but the storm winds had fol-
lowed us. I met the boat’s owner, Tom, behind a townhouse where the boat was docked.
Drinking coffee, we watched starch-stiff flags in gale-force winds. He looked at me and
said, “I’m going back to bed.” I looked back and said, “Me too.”

King came aboard,’ but, ‘We had some
sunburn, and the crew went ashore and
found aloe plants for us.’ That tells other
people they’ve done something special.
They’ve had an adventure.”
The yachts still matter, of course, but the
luxury makes the ultra-wealthy feel all
the more, well, luxurious if those yachts
are in truly remote destinations. This
desire is fueling everything from charter
demand in Antarctica and Indonesia to
new yacht construction that pushes the
boundaries of traditional yacht design.
“What we’re seeing from clients is a de-
sire to explore more,” says Jimmy Carroll,
director of marketing and communi-
cations at Winch Design. “One of our
designs has circumnavigated.”
Carroll says the new generation of
wealthy buyers wants such features
as ice-breaking hulls. They want their
yachts to be self-sufficient for more than
a month without ever visiting a port. Cli-
ents from the West Coast of the United
States, in particular, are demanding more
efficient and eco-friendly designs — “not
only when motoring,” Carroll says, “but
also when being built.”
On the charter market, these tendencies
are manifesting as inquiries for bookings
in nontraditional destinations. The West
Mediterranean, long the most popular
region for crewed yacht charter, still tops
the list, but it has been in decline since
2014, according to the report. Meanwhile,
destinations previously considered exotic
with only a handful of yachts available are
seeing a surge, including the Seychelles
and Maldives in the Indian Ocean.
“As this younger generation wants these
experiences, the biggest problem may
become the small supply of charter yachts
in these destinations,” says Kurt Fraser,
marketing director for Camper & Nich-
olsons International.
Indeed, that company and others have
been reporting charter activity since at
least summer 2015 that is close to, or
on par with, demand prior to the global
economic crash, when multiple bidders
used to make competing offers to secure

terfield says. “That’s the contrast. That’s
the value. Plopping down on a beach in
Barbados doesn’t have the same effect.”

According to the report, the size of yachts being chartered is relatively unchanged. New destinations are the rising trend.

NOR TH RIP 30: A PURE FISHING M ACHINE

The big idea nowadays in runabouts, tenders and center consoles is to add luxury touches and creature
comforts. This “gentleman’s approach” to yacht design certainly has its place, but not among the
hardcore fishermen hunting big game off the New England coast. That is the birthplace of the North
Rip 30 from USWatercraft, a builder whose philosophy is that all those fancy foofs and frills just get in
the way when you have a 400-pound giant bluefin tuna dumping line off your reel. The North Rip 30
has a layout created in partnership with tournament-winning, 20-year sport fisherman Jack Sprengel,
who helped calculate everything from the precise distance between rod holders to the extra volume
that could be squeezed into every fish locker and livewell. Take the next step: northripboat.com

Wicked tempests make for a
memorable 1,000-mile adventure.

By Rachel LeBar

t was spring when richard

I E. Carter, John Bower and Johnny

Stouffer set off on a 1,000-mile voy-
age from Nassau, Bahamas, to New
York. Yachting covered the adventure of
the 33-foot Medalist Rabbit in April 1966.
After debuting in what was known at
the time as the Southern Ocean Circuit,
Rabbit was set for a nonstop voyage with
her arrival planned just in time for the
Block Island Race. Three hours out
of Nassau, a squall formed — the first
of many during the run north. Rabbit
endured the second half of the journey
without power. The radiotelephone was
out and the engine was dead, meaning
Rabbit was a true sailing vessel.
After 12 days, Rabbit made it to New
York Harbor, entering with a dramatic
wind gust that brought her in at 8 knots.
The crew watched as the sun set on the
Manhattan skyline before enjoying their
first full night’s sleep since departing.

ENDURING ADVERSITY
One-man watches during the night
— two hours on, four hours off —
allowed the men to monitor the
squalls. One night, Carter awoke to
ominous news from his shipmates:
The battery was dying. “We were to
learn you accept what is given to
you by Mother Nature; there is no
point in fretting,” he said.

enjoying the sea breeze and rugged, exotic coast-
line when I heard a soft, collective gasp from the
others aboard who were seeing the 30M for the
first time. We had just rounded a bend and entered
a cove. Deep-blue water lapped lazily against beige
rocks rounded smooth by the sea, and lush greenery
sprouted from the tops of the imposing cliffs that
surrounded us like sentries. And there in the middle
of all this natural grandeur sat the Princess 30M, her
dark-blue hull glistening in the bright sun, her silky
smooth lines all but undulating, mirroring the sea.
There’s a stately ambience to her, both outside
and in. With the master on the main deck, her lines
stay fuller farther forward and combine with a bow
that juts out like a proud jaw to lend a certain British
gravitas. Suffice it to say, this boat makes a statement
when you first lay eyes on her.
On board, that stately air is enhanced by a level of
fit and finish that is, well, fitting of a true mega-yacht.
The cherry woodwork in particular on my test yacht
was exemplary. The seams were tight, the wood
rich and smooth.
Princess can keep tabs on such details because
it builds about 80 percent of the components on
board its models in-house at its Plymouth, England,
(yes, that Plymouth, of Mayflower fame) shipyard.
The Princess complex includes seven facilities and
facilitates the employment of more than 2,000
employees, who are expected to churn out a healthy
220 yachts this year. As mentioned, the company is
the largest boatbuilder in all of England — no small
feat when you consider the stiff competition the
country has to offer.
PA L M A YOUR H A M
Palma de Mallorca, the island about 150 miles off the
coast of Spain where we tested the Princess 30M,
is a quintessential stopover on any Balearic Isles charter.
The hilly, seaside city is interlaced with narrow,
winding streets lined by charming shops, cafes and bars.
Sitting under an umbrella at an outdoor table at one
of those cafes on a drizzly late-spring afternoon, you
might just find yourself sipping on an ice-cold Alhambra
beer while biting into o a jamon y queso sandwich on fresh-
baked bread. And it might just be the best meal of
your year. Sometimes in life, it really is the simple things.

Such attention to details should make the 30M
a prime choice within an American market hun-
gry for boats in this size range that have optimal
amounts of personalization. I see this boat doing
well in South Florida thanks in no small part to
her relatively shallow 7-foot-6-inch draft, but she’s
certainly versatile enough to pop up in almost any
geographical location around the Americas.
The 30M is the kind of yacht that can change the
way you’re perceived, and in turn, change the way
you perceive the ocean itself. Once you’ve effec-
tively leveled up into the mega-yacht class, there’s
no turning back.
Of course, something tells me that by the time
most people reach a place in life where they can
acquire a yacht like the 30M, they haven’t been
accustomed to turning back for quite a while.

Ulitsky remembers querying his brother-in-law.
“You wouldn’t have to worry about [re-provisioning].”
But a position as CEO of a biotech-diagnostics
firm tempted Hawran out of his early retirement.
The 94-footer was sold, and Hawran spent the next
several years without a yacht.
“A good friend told me, ‘You’ve got to get a boat
— you’re the most peaceful when you’re at sea,’”
Hawran recalls. Shortly thereafter, he began think-
ing about long-range yachts and his retirement
dream of rounding Cape Horn. Norma, Hawran’s
wife of 33 years, had long dreamed of renting an
apartment in Paris to celebrate her retirement — a
goal that she accomplished last year — but she now
jests that she might also join Argo for the voyage
around South America’s bitter end.
Hawran interviewed expedition-grade yacht-
builders and then chose Outer Reef Yachts thanks
to feedback from Bunker Hill, his marine surveyor
of 20-plus years. Hawran flew Hill to Taiwan to
evaluate the manufacturer’s operations and build
quality. Hill signaled his approval, and Hawran’s
bigger compass started to take form.
“I believe in two of everything,” says Hawran,
who explains that Argo sails with two anchors,
numerous GPS units (hardwired and handheld),
Kevlar-reinforced bow sections, an extra 1,000
gallons of fuel capacity and oversize stabilizers
and generators, as well as 500 gallons of freshwater
tankage and an offshore-worthy watermaker.
Additionally, Hawran outfitted Argo with a com-
mercial-grade electronics package that includes
multiple Furuno NavNet 3D black-box multi-
function displays, touchscreen monitors, dual
Furuno radars (25 kW and 12 kW), a Maretron

While these are impressive words from a man
who used to multitask phone and email conversa-
tions constantly, they are proof positive that Argo
is already fulfilling her design brief.
In addition to redundancy, Hawran’s boating
experience taught him the value of a thorough
shakedown cruise. He, Ulitsky and Holodny took
delivery of Argo in Victoria, British Columbia, in
March 2015 and immediately headed to Alaska,
pressing as far north as Skagway. After watching

he knew that the builder’s 100-footers did well on
the charter market. “But I noticed on our 125 that
we were able to get double the amount of money,
about $85,000 a week versus $45,000,” he says.
“That’s a big difference.”
He started talking with a charter-savvy owner
who had already built three yachts with Hargrave,
all in the 100-foot range. DiCondina told the owner
about the income disparity on charter bookings,
as well as the build-quality success that Hargrave
had found with the 114-foot Donna Marie II, which
launched in 2013 on a newly designed hull by noted
naval architect Jack Sarin.
“We’re moving into the next niche in the mar-
ket, and he has always been a forefront leader for
us,” DiCondina says of the owner. “I said, ‘For the
future, down the road, why don’t we try to make
a five-stateroom boat with the on-deck master?’”

Crossing the open ocean or staying at sea for extended periods can be liberating, especially on a yacht built for bluewater travel.

They are a special breed, and they need an equal-

A comfort factor also comes with this style of
yacht. Polster says the trawler appeals to those
who realize that boating doesn’t have to equate
to camping. It’s a craft that allows for home-style
furniture and full-size appliances.
Kadey-Krogen says it has seen a rise in interest
from owners of sport-fishers or express-style yachts,
people who are looking to “slow down and smell

built chip logs consisting of a wooden log attached
to a “log line” with evenly spaced knots that was
spooled off a reel. To estimate speed, a sailor de-
ployed the log overboard and counted how many
knots passed through his hands in a specific interval,
originally measured by an hourglass.
Next came mechanical odometers called taffrail
logs, which are still available. These consist of a tor-
pedo-shaped rotator with spin-inducing fins attached
to a section of log line, as well as a stern-mounted
register that records how far the boat has traveled. By
dividing the distance traveled by the time required
to cover this ground, a navigator can determine the
boat’s average speed.

markers, much like some modern anchor rodes, that
indicate how many fathoms of water reside below
the water’s surface. Paraffin is added to bring up a
bottom sample, allowing sailors to determine the
bottom structure (e.g., mud, sand or rock), which
can be cross-referenced with their charts.
When waters get tight, careful mariners send
their dinghy, equipped with the log line, ahead and
follow loosely astern with the big boat. Some sailors
become experts at reading the water. “You can tell
by the shape of the wave how deep the water is,”
Marx says. “The shallower the water, the steeper
the waves. It’s not precise, but it gives you an idea.”

Trouble arose when storms rearranged unstable

other long-distance cruisers, comparing editions

by adding crystal sets. “A radio might have cost
$350,” says Hawley, “but it rapidly went up to $500
or $600 with the extra crystals.”
Thankfully, the first all-synthesized VHF-FM radio
arrived in the late ’70s and offered all 55 marine VHF
channels, sans additional crystals. Miniaturization
followed, including contemporary VHF handhelds.
“Today’s navigator enjoys an unbelievable array
of electronics that make his job more accurate,
safer and easier, assuming everything works prop-
erly and he has not become complacent,” Marx
says. “But when things go wrong at sea, it’s critical
that the navigator has the traditional navigation
skills to do [things] the old-fashioned way.”

While AIS and radar dramatically
help with collision avoidance and naviga-
tion, they don’t provide assistance when
it comes to dodging logs, avoiding lobster
pots or, heaven forbid, contending with
a man-overboard emergency. FLIR’s
latest fi xed-mount thermal-imaging
cameras, the M400 series, help increase
situational awareness and bolster op-
erational capabilities, and they provide
the same level of technology that first
responders and militaries trust to save
lives and secure borders.
FLIR makes two versions of this high-
end camera, the M400 ($70,000) and
the M400XR ($85,000), the latter of
which adds video tracking to its de-
liverables list. Both versions are gyro-
stabilized and equipped with a triple
payload consisting of a high-resolution
thermal-imaging camera; a high-defini-
tion, low-light color video camera; and
a high-intensity LED spotlight. This
trifecta is contained in a tidy, dome-
shaped, waterproof housing that can
continuously pan through 360 degrees
and tilt plus-or-minus 90 degrees.
Both cameras offer HD imagery,
and they both can be controlled using
the camera’s dedicated joystick or via
a touchscreen user interface using
a networked multifunction display. The
M400 also has an internal web server and
IP-enabled controls. This allows a user
to wirelessly control his camera using
a smartphone or tablet and the FLIR
Mobile app (iOS- and Android-friendly),
provided that the camera is networked
to a Wi-Fi hotspot or is accessible via a
wireless access point.
Unlike traditional night-vision
technology, which requires a certain
amount of lumens (from ambient light
or a dedicated illuminator) to operate,
thermal-imaging detectors sense min-
ute temperature differences between
objects and their backgrounds, which
the detectors use to render video imag-
In addition to spotting buoys and logs, the FLIR M400 can be networked to help with collision avoidance.

P R O P E R LY PA R K E D
While FLIR’s M400 cameras offer
cutting-edge technology, they require
surprisingly little maintenance.
“Salt buildup on the windows is one of
the [common] reasons that the image
isn’t clear,” says Jay Robinson of FLIR.
“Just blast it with a hose.” It doesn’t
matter if the camera is turned on during
washing, but users should use fresh
water only (never Windex or similar
solvents) and allow the unit to air-dry
(no wipes or microfiber cloths). White
plastic covers offer aesthetic-preserving
sun protection, but they aren’t necessary.
Also, Robinson reminds users to “park”
their cameras after use, which shelters
the lens in a downward-facing position.

ery. The M400 series’ 640-by-480 VOx
microbolometers can detect differences
as slender as 50 millikelvins, or 1/20th of
one degree Celsius, at both long and short
ranges. And thermal-imaging cameras
work equally well in daylight as they do
at night, which is helpful for spotting
kayakers at high noon.
“[The M400] was a couple of years in
development,” says Jay Robinson, FLIR
Maritime’s vice president of product
management, who adds that FLIR engi-
neers packed a huge amount of hardware
and software into a relatively small dome.
Unlike previous fixed-mount FLIR cam-
eras that relied on downstream black
boxes to provide advanced-level features
such as IP video and high-definition
serial data interface, the M400 series’
main boards contain this hardware and
allow the cameras to play nicely with
third-party MFDs sans black boxes or
downstream processing. In fact, M400
series cameras have just four connection
cables — a power cable, an Ethernet cable,
an HDSDI cable and a serial AV cable
— that need to be installed to take full
advantage of the camera’s capabilities.
While M400 series cameras have the
same thermal-imaging sensor found on
other high-end FLIR cameras, they sport
a brand-new 3x optical zoom, which takes
the horizontal field of view, or HFOV,
from 18 degrees to 6 degrees. They also
have a state-of-the-art Tau 2.7 camera
core with a built-in electronic zoom that
takes the HFOV from 6 degrees to 1.5
degrees. M400 cameras also have FLIR’s
proprietary noise-reduction technology,
Digital Detail Enhancement, which ren-
ders crisp edge details between objects
and their backgrounds. FLIR says that
an M400 can detect a man overboard
at 1.3 nautical miles and a small vessel
up to 3.2 nautical miles away.
M400 series cameras also include a
high-definition, low-light video camera
that provides resolution up to 1080/30p

and offers a range up to the visual horizon.
“The color camera has a 30x optical zoom
that brings the [HFOV] from 64 degrees
to 2.3 degrees … and an e-zoom that brings
this down to 0.2 degrees,” says Robinson,
who adds that gyrostabilization is re-
quired to see objects accurately at range
and at narrow fields of view in anything
but millpond conditions. Also, like most
security cameras, the M400’s color cam-
era switches to black-and-white mode if
there isn’t enough light (or illumination)
to render color imagery. “You generally
get a pretty clear picture without much
light,” Robinson says. “Moonlight is
enough to see quite a bit.”
A high-intensity LED spotlight com-
pletes the M400 package. “The spotlight
has a narrow beam, so a user can point
the [thermal-imaging] camera at a buoy
and then light it up to show the crew,”
Robinson says. “You can [also] light up

  in 1984 as a summer employee. He’s been
living on the island full time since his
wedding in 1987. “I married a girl who
was born and raised here. In other words, I didn’t
really have a choice,” Mosley says with a laugh.
“There’s a lot worse places to get stuck, let me
tell you.” Mosley begins his day at a quarter to 6,
feeding the horses. Once that’s done, he heads to
the cafeteria to feed himself and do his morning
paperwork. From there, his days vary quite a bit.

One of the major parts of my job is to haul

VIPs. We use very ornate, Victorian-era carriages

that are over 100 years old, and they are pulled
by high-stepping Hackney horses. VIPs can be
anything from friends of the owner to potential
large-group
e clients or even celebrities. We also
entertain in our stables. We have convention
groups that come to the island. They’ll have recep-
tions here quite often. We’ve even had weddings

It’s easy to say it’s one of the prettier places there is.

or years, I’ve heard
F  the same question at
boat shows: “How
fast?” It’s second only
to, “Where’s the bathroom?”
and “How much?” We boat
nuts seem obsessed with
pushing the laws of Newton,
Bernoulli and Froude. I’m
no numerologist, but after
35 years of measuring “fast”
during sea trials, I can assure
you there’s no magic number.
Fast is simple. It’s mostly
about weight and horsepower.
A designer must be a compe-
tent noodler of numbers, and
a builder must be attentive to
detail. Forget patented, break-
through bottom concoctions.
Nothing sours “fast” faster
than bungling a boat’s weight
and center of gravity.
This simple math can be
challenging because builders
and designers are genetical-
ly incompatible. A notable
boatbuilder made this clear
to me early in my design ca-
reer. He assured me that the
designers he’d worked with
over the years — my heroes —
were generally incompetent
and mostly drunks. He simply
ignored their drawings and
never bothered wasting paint
on a boot stripe until after
launching and “ballasting.”
Ballast is kryptonite to fast
powerboats. Unfortunately,
given the model-home layouts
and outfitting we demand,
sometimes we have no option.
