2 E<$ F+-6,$- - Issue 143 2015

I was having lunch with Tim Tunks (see staff box) and we discussed, as we have more than once, the

decline in participation in the sailboat-racing scene since the 1970s and 80s. We talked about how sailing

doesn’t seem to be getting passed down through the generations like it used to. It made me think about my

own feelings about boating and how formative an activity it is.

When I was a kid, on many weekends my next-door neighbor Jonathan would knock on my door during

the summer and say, “my dad wants to go sailing – let’s go.” They had an 18-foot open sailboat called an

SS – a pretty wooden sloop designed by a local guy for the very waters we sailed in – it looked something

like a Soling.

My job was to be on my knees with a big sponge in my hand – periodically my buddy’s dad would bellow

“Sponge Patrick!” At the command, I would sop up the water that was collecting in the open bilge area

and squeeze it over the side. He was a stoic man, his kids called him “the Ogre”. During these trips he

hardly said anything to me except this sponge command but I didn’t feel abused, enslaved or frightened

– I was sailing and this is how it’s done. I was actually happy to be playing my part.

I was enamored with the idea that I was in a special vehicle that could take me to a place where most

others couldn’t go. Going where others can’t or don’t want to go has been a theme for me – it’s a part

of my personality and one that in many ways came from the feeling of watching the shore fade in thedistance while I, a little kid, went somewhere very different.

To this day, I still feel that peculiar and particular sense of peace when I sail. I’m glad for the love of the

water that formed in me during those times, I’m better for all I learned during those small adventures…

but most of all, I’m appreciative for this lifelong gift that the Ogre gave.

or local boaters the American ag that sits dead center in the middle of the Marina del Rey breakwall is more than a showing of proud

patriotism. It’s a wind vain, a welcoming friend after a long voyage and these days a symbol of how slow a bureaucracy can manage a

situation.

For decades the ag ew steadfastly through any wind or waves the ocean could muster. Rain or shine, day or night the ag stood tall…

until one day it was gone.

A couple of years back, during the dredging project, it was discovered that the wiring that kept the ag lit was in bad shape—apparently

years of pelicans pooping on electrical equipment has adverse affects. Local authorities took it as an opportunity to address the problem

and develop a solar system that would be ultimately more efcient and easier to maintain. Unfortunately, not long after the new system was installed

giant waves rushed over the breakwall one day and took out the solar panels, leaving the ag unlit. And according to ag code, an unlit ag ying anight is a no no. Old Glory was removed and brought in for repairs and since then it was been something of a puzzle and a quandary.

“We’re in the process of determining how we’re going to x this thing,” says District Manager for Marina del Rey John Giles, who just entered the

position. “My personal opinion is we move it to a land base [onto a jetty], so my guys don’t have to climb up on those rocks [to maintain it]. We still

have the solar option—we’re getting replacement stuff.”

According to Giles the priority is “quite high” to get this done. He and Deputy Director of Beaches and Harbors John Kelly have been in meetings

trying to determine what is the best way and place to plant the ag. They are looking for a situation that allows for reasonable access, but also makes

sense visually.

When asked if he wanted to go out on a limb and say how long he thinks this will al take he replied:

“This isn’t much of a limb, but it’s going to happen in 2015,” Giles said. “I would hope we’ll get it done in February or March—in that time line.”

Giles admitted that because he is new to the role he doesn’t have an accurate feel for everything just yet, but said he and Kelly are denitely working

on it.

Although it may seem like the simplest thing in the world to plop a ag on the rocks and be done with it, Giles says that lighting a ag in that particular

location is a bit more complicated than one might think. He says everything needs to be custom made and then UL [Underwriters Laboratory] approved

“We’re trying to gure out something that is smart to do and makes sense,” Giles stated. “I don’t want taxpayers to spend money on stuff that doesn’

work.”

Giles indicated that he plans on seeking some kind of public input because he would like to have, “the boaters approval of what we’re doing.”

On the Saturday after

Thanksgiving 2014,

the Volvo Ocean Race

(crewed race around

the globe), sailboat

Team Vestas Wind ran

aground on a coral

reef in about four-feet of water, two hundred and

sixty-eight miles off the coast of Mauritius in theIndian Ocean. Thus ending their $17,000,000

campaign partway through the second of the

nine-leg 39,000-mile race. All nine men aboard

reached shore safely, but an important question

hangs heavily over that good news: How could

this shipwreck happen?

Sailing with a skilled professional skipper, a top

notch navigator, seven additional accomplished

sailors, state of the art electronics, and supported

by excellent shore teams—how could this

magnicent 65-foot $6,000,000 race boat hit a

tiny reef in the middle of an empty ocean? It’s

actually easier than you might think.

Chris Nicholson, Vestas Wind’s 45-year-old

skipper and veteran of four previous around the

world races said, “It’s clear that human error

is responsible for the shipwreck. There’s no

avoiding that. And as skipper, I take ultimate

responsibility.”

Reporter Yann Riou aboard the nearby Dongfeng

Race Team boat noted that their boat’s optimal

route ran right through these shoals. He said

Dongeng’s skipper Charles Caudrelier had

“noticed this archipelago a few days earlier, but

it’s worth noting that it’s actually pretty hard to

nd. In fact, to see it on our electronic charts,

you have to zoom right in on top of it. But how

and why would you zoom into it if you don’t

know it’s there in the rst place?”

Navigators zoom from the smallest chart

scale where only large areas and features arerepresented down to the largest scale where the

chart’s smallest details are visible on a much

smaller portion of the water. Don’t be confused

about small-scale charts showing large areas

and large-scale charts showing much smaller

areas in much greater detail…it’s just the way

it is.

Detailed study of all the large-scale charts

in all the water the boat might possibly sail

would be required for a navigator to identify

all the hazards within the vessel’s potential

route—a Herculean task. Without such notes,

the alternative is to zoom down to study the

large scale charts within the arc of their next

day or two of sailing. Allowing for variations in

the anticipated wind, that arc can be quite wide

and encompass a multitude of detailed charts,

if indeed that entire area has been well charted,

which is not a sure thing when sailing outside

shipping lanes in the open ocean.

There are many forces and factors aboard a

round-the-world racer that work contrary to

disciplined periodic chart work, and the short-

handed recreational offshore sailor faces many

of those same forces and factors. Fatigue

breakage, involvement in radio communications

analyzing weather information, and many other

things can distract a multi-tasking navigato

from diligently making a multi scale scan

zooming in periodically to reveal previously un

noticed hazards.

Nicholson later conrmed. “It was a stressfutime, (a powerful weather system ahead and

their boat traveling at 19 knots) but we need to

back up and remember that this was brought on

by a simple human error…we didn’t look at the

chart and we didn’t zoom in enough.”

With these boats, easily capable of 400-mile

a day, a lot of zooming is required. At these

speeds a 70-foot VOR racer moves in and out of

large-scale chart zones in a short period of time

Most navigation for a race of this sort involve

route planning to seek out the best wind

conditions. It’s navigation that takes place in

an abstract world of small scale macro view

charts where weather patterns can be studied

and wind conditions predicted. The navigato

needs special discipline to diligently zoom in

looking for shallow water while sailing in the

open ocean with the next mark of the course

hundreds of miles away.

I began sailing offshore before the arrival o

GPS and electronic charts so I’ve spent lots of

time at the chart table studying routes, reducing

celestial sextant sights, and plotting positions

One habit wisely ingrained by my mentor was

to always have a red pencil handy whenever

a chart came out, and to circle any potential

hazards not yet noted.

I was schooled to plot frequently on the chart

because an accurate dead reckoning position

was essential for celestial and early Sat Nav

electronic navigation. My modern practice is to

keep paper charts available with hazards circled

boldly in red and to plot frequent positionsfrom GPS coordinates as dots on the current

annotated chart. Frequent plotting on a paper

chart can yield useful current information, help

keep you alert to shipping lane locations, and

help you check to see if your course takes you

through a bold red danger circle.

Remember the Aegean tragedy during the 2012

Newport to Ensenada Race when all four sailors

aboard were lost because their GPS driven

autopilot was set to steer them directly into the

rocky cliffs of the northern Coronado Island?

I think it’s fair to assume, based on post-race

investigations, had they consulted and workedwith a paper chart, their fatal error would not

have occurred.

I’m convinced that one paper chart showing the

ocean between Newport and Ensenada taped to

a bulkhead with their hourly updated positions

plotted would surely have alerted the Aegean

crew and helped them avoid their fate. The

same remedy might have been useful for Team

Vestas Wind had small-scale paper charts been

posted with hazards clearly marked and current

positions plotted.

I know it will be difcult to persuade themodern recreational sailor to set aside his GPS

equipped smartphone and plot on a paper chart

from time to time, but it is the smart thing to do.

Good seamanship involves knowing both your

location and that of nearby hazards. Always

remember your best and safest route may end

up quite different than the one you originally

planned. Without having both hazards and your

position both plotted on the same paper chart

you are sailing blind.

Epilogue:

Zooming in and out to locate and understand

details as they affect the big picture is as useful

in navigating life as it is at sea. If charted shoals

exist on your route you should know their

location and remain prepared to adjust your

course as necessary. I’m thinking about the

dangerous waters surrounding political topics at

some holiday family dinner tables or requested

opinions about the optical distortion of some

garment on posterior dimensions.

Big Turnout For

Holiday Boat Parade!This year, at the famed Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade, your

humble Editor was an all-powerful judge. I had a special seat of canvas,

a clipboard and free wine. I was in charge of three categories and I took

this deal seriously. I used my God-like powers of perception to discern

whether a boat truly had the holiday spirit. Some boats traveled by at six-

knots without a peep and I marked them low on the scale I do say. Put on

a Santa hat and you are on the chart. Bark out a tune – the mercury rises.

You get the picture.

The good news is the boat parade this year was very well attended. Sixty-

three boats were on the course – more than parade President had ever seen

in her 16-year tenure. “The evening was perfect,” she said.

It all bodes well for the parade going forward. There were a few years

where the organization wished for more, but this year they are condent

the event is once again on the upswing.

o boater likes to think about

his vessel taking the “deep-

six” plunge to the bottom.

But, at some level, we all

know the possibility exists,and that we need to prepare,

by having the proper equipment, as well as the

necessary knowledge and skill set. The lives

of passengers and crew depend upon that...and

maybe a little luck, as well.

People often ask me, “how much and what

kind of safety equipment should I

carry aboard my boat?” I usually

answer, “As much as you are able

to afford.”

Let’s start with the basicsnecessary aboard a 25-foot

sailboat, generally used for day-

sailing.

1. Life Jackets.

2. Smoke/Flares.

3. Waterproof ashlights (extra batteries).

4. Man overboard, throwable ring or cushion.

5. Waterproof handheld VHF (extra batteries).

6. At least a manual bilge pump.

7. Horn and/or whistle.

From that, “minimum” starting point, add as

much as you can afford; and if you can’t afford

the proper safety gear for longer voyages...well,

I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but if you can’t

afford good lifesaving saving equipment—then

you can’t afford to go.

Of course, a well equipped, “offshore boat” will

usually have, in addition to the bare bones list

above; satellite phones, EPIRBS, survival suits,

offshore life-rafts, single sideband radios, VHF

with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) and masthead antenna, PLBs (personal locator beacons)

back up handheld radios, personal oat-lights

with strobes, a well stocked “abandon ship

bag” (ditch-bag), handheld GPS, dye-markers,

powerful bilge pumps and “off-shore life vests

with reectors.

Now, let’s say you are sailing well offshore,

your vessel begins taking on water, and you, and

a crew of four, need to respond to the situation.

Let’s take it one step at a time.

1. Inform the crew of the nature of the emergency

and get them into PFDs.

2. Assign a crewmember to begin pumping out

the water by bailing and activating bilge-pumps.

A second crewmember is assigned to locate

the leak/source of water—if possible. Another

member needs to start the engine, keeping it in

“neutral”, in order to keep the batteries charged,

while another drops the sails. The skipper calls

in a “mayday”, provides the vessel’s name, port,

position and nature of distress. If no contact can

be made, activate EPIRB and DSC. If you are

near shore—less than 25 miles out—try your

VHF rst, offshore, SSB or Sat-Phone.

3. Damage control. Even if the nature of the

leak is catastrophic, keep pumping and try to

staunch the ow of water. You need to buy time

Every minute you stay out of the water increases

your chance of survival and every minute the

boat is aoat gives rescuers a larger target to

see. Remember, a big, scared man, with a stou

bucket, can move more water than the

largest bilge pump you’d be likely to

nd aboard a privately owned vessel

Keep bailing!

4. Have available crew prepare liferaft or dingy. Load with water, ares

warm clothing, food, ashlights

compass, sextant, rst-aid kit, extra

line, knife, tools, reector, whistle

portable water-maker, empty jugs

a canvass or tarp, shing kit, extra

batteries, handheld GPS, VHF, PLB

and EPIRB. In short, if you think there is a

conceivable need for a thing, and there’s room

put it in. If it turns out that the raft or dinghy is

overloaded you can always toss the unneeded

item over the side.

5. Assign spare crewmembers to remove al

the cushions, tables, extra life jackets, bedding

pillows, even trash bags—anything that wil

oat—and bring them on deck. Do not throw

them over the side—they will oat off the deck

should that time come. If you have rolls of tin

foil aboard use one to drape over the boom

and toss the others in the life raft—they make

good radar reectors and sun catchers, helping

rescuers nd you.

Happy New Year! This past season

has provided us with some of thebest shing in many years - local

anglers will be telling stories for along time.

But for right now, there’s a fewthings happening. First, the rocksh

closer is happening on December31, 2014 and sculpin shing is still

closed through January.

Fishermen can target ling cod,sheephead, and bass.

On the bait scene, it’s all n baituntil the squid move in and then

maybe we’ll see a few whiteseabass.

Because of these past storms ourtuna season has come to an end

unless you go south.

As for lobster, numbers are downas well because its been a bit too

rough to get out, but that’s Mother

Nature for ya.

Well, over all, what a year!

Happy Holiday’s !

Until next year………. tight lines

Peter Isler is a two-time America’s Cup winner (Navigator with Stars and

Stripes in 1987-1988), and fve-time participant. Isler was Intercollegiate

Sailor of the Year, a Transpac winner, and a two-time Maxi Class world

champion. Off the water, Isler was and/or is an ESPN broadcaster, a

roving Editor for Sailing World Magazine, a Coach of the U.S. Olympic

sailing team, a founding member of the American Sailing Association and

author of a book called Peter Isler’s Little Blue Book of Sailing Secrets.

We asked him a few questions about his views on the future of sailboat

racing.

The Mariner: When it comes to local club racing—how’s the future look

from where you sit?

Isler: My opinion has always been that [club racing] is certainly a

foundation of sailboat racing and the way to keep it healthy is to emphasize

the social aspects of the sport. I think the reason people get into sailing

and stay in sailing is more than just getting out on the water, being one

with nature and doing all the fun things on the boat—it’s also the people.

Part of the changes in sailing are due to the changes in our society and

how people choose to allot their free time. In my mind, I think part of it is,

that there’s been more separation within youth sailing and adult sailing —

meaning there’s fewer times when the kids and adults sail with each other

and against each other. Something in my gut says that’s not a good thing.

The Mariner: Do you think the type of boat kids sail is important to

keeping them hooked?

Isler: I’m not sure what the ultimate entry-level boat is but I don’t think

it really matters. Bic verses Sabot may be less important than the nex

level up where kids know how to trim a sail and move their weight around

from whatever they learned on. When they move on they’ll get on a boat

that challenges them. That said, the problem with the lighter weight high

performance boats is that there aren’t a lot of adults sailing them. So when

they go to a Midwinters, or Nationals or weekend regatta, it’s all kids

without adults competing. It’s good to have the opportunity to learn and

socialize with a broader base.

The Mariner: What about the drop-off of kids as they get older. Do you

think sailing is losing more troops these days?

Isler: There was always the challenge of the drop-off of kids as they hit

their later teens. They’re getting pulled in a lot of different directions

and certainly the directions they’re getting pulled are different now than

30-years ago. So, if more kids get pulled away, does that mean sailing or

youth-sailing has somehow failed or is it just a change in society and it

would happen anyway. It’s a complicated question.

The Mariner: What other components do you think are important for

sailboat racing to thrive?

Isler: I think it’s important to feel like you have a chance. If you’re a

competitive person and you go out and get pounded all the time, then

realize you have to spend way way way more time and money to win in

this thing—a lot of people are going to go away.

6. In calm, or moderate conditions, launch the

life raft and/or dinghy, and keep them secured

to the leeward side of the vessel. If there is extra

foul weather gear aboard toss it into the dinghy

or life raft. If you have an outboard, mount it

on the dinghy transom, and don’t forget to bring

the fuel can.

7. Don’t be in a hurry to abandon ship. Stay

aboard as long as you can. The minute you enter

the water you reduce your chance of survival.

The longer you stay “high and dry”, the better

your chances are of returning home to tell the

story.

8. No one stands around. If all has been done

that can be done, then start bailing or pumping.

If there are no extra buckets or pumps, and the

head bowls are starting to ll, pump the heads

over board. If the heads aren’t lling yet, then

grab the biggest pot you can nd and bail into

the sink. Every gallon counts as “time”. Each

minute you can keep that boat oating means

you have a better chance to survive. If possible,

use a boathook and try to position a cushion or

tarp over the hole in the hull—try to push/wedge

it into the damaged area. If there is time, pull the

sails off and attach an extra life jacket or empty

jug to them. Even a half submerged sail is more

easily seen from the air than a bobbing head orsmall raft.

9. If you have made contact with rescuers,

keep them informed, letting them know when

you abandon ship. Describe your dinghy and/

or life raft. Note the time, your position and the

direction of your drift or current.

10. When it becomes necessary to look “up” at

the dinghy, you’ll know it’s time to get into it. If

you have both, a dinghy and life raft, lash them

together, detach them from the boat and remain

calm.

11. Try and stay within or near the debris eld.

Use the sea anchor on your life raft or attach

a line to one of the sails oating nearby, or

perhaps a waterlogged cushion or teak table.

Try and stay as close as you can to your last

“known” position.

12. Use ares and signaling devices only when

it seems there is a chance of being spotted.

13. If you had no dinghy or life raft, lash

everyone together and attempt to stay within the

debris eld.

14. Keep watch at all times. Have a ashlight or

are gun handy.

It is my sincere hope you never need to use any

of the information I just imparted to you.

Clean, painted bilges easily show oil or rust.

Oil or fuel in a bilge is an early warning of

an expensive repair. Cleaning and properly

disposing this toxic waste keeps it from

pumping into our harbor with bilge water,

poisoning our sh and creating expensive

cleanup problems when we dredge our

harbor to keep it clear and deep.

Fortunately, cleaning oil spills is easy,

inexpensive and effective. We have some of

the nest facilities and help available, here in

Marina del Rey.

An oil-absorbent pad under an engine or

generator and a sausage-shaped boom in the

bilge gives early warning of leaks by turning

dark.

Wiping the under sides of engines and fuel

tanks, where possible, when there’s a leak,

will show where the leak is coming from (be

careful to avoid moving or hot machinery).

Once clean and dry, the new drip will lead

you to the source. Often leaks occur only

when at sea or when equipment is running,

when it is hard to check, so these pads are

especially helpful.

When fueling, lay out paper towels, bilge

pads and diluted liquid soap in a sprayer to

wipe up onboard dribbles.
