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.

ore than 20 years ago, on his way back to Cali-
fornia after the Transpacific Yacht Race—an off-
shore event starting in San Pedro, California, and
ending just east of Honolulu, Hawaii, or about
2,225 nautical miles—oceanographer and sail-
boat racing captain Charles Moore noticed something fishy in
the North Pacific. “I could stand on deck for five minutes and
see nothing but the detritus of civilization in the remotest part
of the great Pacific Ocean,” he wrote on his website.
Plastic. Lots of plastic.
Moore was seeing firsthand the Great Pacific Garbage Patch,
the popular name for a collection of waste twice the size of Texas.
It floats in a gyre where the currents converge between Califor-
nia and Hawaii. According to the Ocean Cleanup Foundation,
which has conducted the most extensive analysis to date of this
phenomenon, a total of 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic are estimated
to be floating in the patch. Most are microplastics, or tiny pieces
smaller than a pencil eraser. Nevertheless, the study found that its
total mass is equivalent to 500 Boeing 747s.
Most of the garbage was generated on land and improperly dis-
posed of along the shoreline, according to a 2011 report by the
EPA. The rest was generated at sea by fishing boats, cargo ships
and recreational boats. But before you picture a floating landfill,
consider that the majority of plastic particles float slightly below

And it’s a toxic soup. Eighty-four percent of the plastic is be-
lieved to contain at least one persistent bioaccumulative toxic
chemical (PBT), a compound with a high resistance to degrada-

TECHNIQUES, AND MAKES DISTANCE CRUISING A REALITY FOR THE YACHT'S NEW OWNERS.
BY CAPT. JOHN WOOLDRIDGE
CHARLIE CLARK
S
Sitting with Bob and Maureen Bush in the salon of Turangalila,
surrounded by teak cabinetry and plush furniture, it was evident the
new owners of the first Marlow Explorer 75E were more than de-
lighted with their new yacht. “Building a yacht is time-consuming
but fun,” Bob said. “There are so many details to consider, and that
can be frustrating for some owners, but for us the end result is very
personal, very satisfying.”
Bob and Maureen had previously built a 70-footer and loved most
everything about the layout, especially the master stateroom, but
then decided after 12 years that it was time to move on. Turangalila is
Hull No. 1 of the new Marlow Explorer 75E series (the E designates
a European stern with twin stairways connecting the aft deck with
the swim platform). It has an optional enclosed bridge for maximum
cruising comfort in tropical locations, and a spacious crew’s quarters
aft of the engine room. Generally speaking, the layout below is three
en suite staterooms—amidships master, forward VIP and portside
guest, with a laundry room opposite that has a raised berth.
“What I learned from visiting exhibits at boat shows—and we
looked at over 20 different yacht builders—is that some builders
are more responsive, more owner-focused than others, particular-
ly when it comes to special requests,” Bob said. “We asked David
[Marlow] to replicate the master stateroom from our previous yacht,
which he was able to do. We also asked him to put two sofas in the
salon, and a TV on a lift in the corner, which he did. He even added a
desk we hadn’t considered. The bar stools in the salon were custom-
fabricated based on a picture we clipped out of a magazine.”
“Several years ago, Bob and Maureen expressed an interest in buy-
ing a Marlow Explorer 78E, a model we built for almost fourteen
years. But they couldn’t find one with the features they wanted—in-
cluding oil bath shaft drive systems and carbon fiber stringers—and
the layout they were looking for,” said David Marlow, the company’s
CEO. “Subsequently, they asked us to build them a 78E, but we con-
vinced them to wait for the launch of a new design, the 75E, which
would incorporate our latest findings from empirical testing and de-
velopment projects.”
Marlow’s goals for the new 75E were lofty. They included creating

CHANCE
A CREATIVE REFIT BRINGS AN OLD BERTRAM BACK TO LIFE,
AND GETS A GUY WHO LOVES BOATING ON THE WATER AGAIN.
BY JEANNE CRAIG PHOTOS BY ANDREW QUERNER

B
Blake Jamieson grew up on boats. As a child and into his teens, he was lulled to sleep by lapping
waves against the hull of his parents’ sportfisherman. They’d cruise along the remarkable coastline
near their home in Vancouver and into the waters just south of Alaska, digging clams one day,
diving the next. When Blake was older, as a student at the University of British Columbia, he spent
summers working with the Coast Guard doing search and rescue. When he had a few days off, he’d
meet his parents on their boat in the rugged wilderness of Desolation Sound, where they’d swim
in some of the warmest waters in the region, kayak, fish and kick back. Blake’s parents would say
of their son that the ocean was ingrained in him. As for Blake, he’d contend that when you live in
this part of the world, “you get the mountains and the water in your bones.”
And then in 2009, Blake’s connection to the sea was severed.
At the age of 25 and on the day before he was to start his third year of medical school, Blake was
paralyzed from the waist down in a mountain biking accident at Whistler Mountain. Confined to
a wheelchair, he would never walk again or step onto the deck of a boat. “The bike accident was
one of those things, a ride that went sideways and that’s the way the cookie crumbles,” says Blake
in his matter-of-fact kind of way. “So, I took a little time off to put my life back together.”
Not long after, a resilient Blake was back at medical school. The work consumed his time and
energy for a couple of years, yet with all the pressure and long hours, there were moments when
he deeply missed the ocean. “Anyone who boats understands the allure is not just about time spent
on the water. There’s also a lot to be said for simply being able to think and dream about getting
out there. When you don’t have that, you notice it. I noticed it most when I needed something to
get me through the crummy days.”
Not one to complain, Blake is a creative problem-solver. So, when he determined that he wanted
to bring a boat back into his life, he examined the options. Hiring a custom yard to build a new
cruiser with accessible features would be too cost prohibitive for this med student. He could, how-

a few hours to run in the light and get where I needed to go,” he says.
Another major undertaking was the rehab of the cockpit. The origi-
nal wood sole was torn out and replaced with Nida-Core structural
honeycomb fiberglass, chosen for its strength and light weight—
even the hatches were engineered to be light so that Blake could eas-
ily lift them. This update, and others, allowed the team to strip many
hundreds of pounds from the boat. They pulled out endless runs of
wire (“We had piles of it,” says Blake) and, at a later date, the flybridge
with its driving station was removed.
People who know Blake say he’s an idea guy. He certainly had a lot
of them for the Bertram. “I’d draw something out on a napkin and
talk it over with Dad, who would share it with the guys. There were
times I felt bad, because some of the stuff I came up with was just
outlandish. But Dad was able to take the good ideas and make them
real.” A case in point: the swim platform at the stern. A key element
of accessibility, this cable-driven device travels a significant distance
up and down the transom and enables Blake to get on and off the
boat when it’s docked. Bob, Blake and the guys spent more than a
year developing and testing variations of the platform, and it took a
lot of trial and error to get it right, which they eventually did. “But
then I had this idea to put ramps on the port and starboard sides,
pieces that would slide out when the boat was in a slip and cover the
gap that would sometimes open up between the platform and the

Now 33, Blake is a board-certified radiologist. Having just finished a fellowship in

he hopes to have some time to spend aboard Night Float, which is the name he
gave his Bertram. It’s the term med students use to describe being on call for seven
nights in a row. “That was a grind,” says Blake, laughing. “I remember thinking to
myself, man, if I’m going to go into this profession, I better get myself a boat.”
He’s proud of the Bertram and of the guys who helped him bring it all this way. In
fact, he’ll often share photos of the boat on his Instagram account, @[Link].
And those photos, it seems, are inspiring others.
“I hear from guys who have fathers with Parkinson’s and from those who were in

AUTOMAKERS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF TRYING TO DIP A TOE INTO
BOATBUILDING. THANKS TO MANUFACTURERS LIKE LEXUS AND
ASTON MARTIN, THEY MIGHT JUST START MAKING WAVES.
BY CHRIS CASWELL

Starting from a clean sheet of paper, automakers are design-

ing some seriously shapely boats, like the Lexus Sport Yacht.

As sexy as Daniel Craig with his shirt off and as elegant as Sean Con-
nery in the casino at Monte Carlo, it’s no surprise that a crowd gathered
around the sharp metallic blue boat at the Miami boat show. The sur-
prise came from what it said on the nameplate: Aston Martin.
The new Aston Martin AM37 is just the latest effort by automakers
from Chrysler to Ferrari, Lexus to Mercedes, to dip their toes into the
yachting scene. Some have been successful, others not so much, but all
have brought an interesting land-sea flavor to these most popular of
toys: boats and cars.
The AM37 is a piece of arm candy less Walther PPK and more Pussy
Galore—and the “gran turismo” model is luxuriously appointed, while
the faster “S” version can chase Spectre villain Ernst Blofeld at over 50
knots. However, Bond fans may be disappointed to learn that the pow-
er is not V-12s but, rather, a pair of 520-hp Mercury diesels. Never-
theless, James Bond has had a long-standing love affair with Aston
Martin in the various 007 films, and this seagoing Aston clearly draws
on that heritage.
One of the features that would intrigue Sean, Daniel and Roger—
beyond the Mako Blue Aston Martin paint and the Cream Truffle leath-

POWER & MOTORYACHT’S LEG OF THE ASPEN 10,000 MILE
TOUR? A 300-MILE, HELL-BENT-FOR-LEATHER DELIVERY FROM
GALVESTON TO THE BIG EASY. BY CAPT. BILL PIKE
W
We’d figured it out by now. Navigating the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway (GICW) through Texas at night in our Aspen C120 power
cat—a speedy, fuel-efficient, 40-foot phenome of asymmetry—was
a two-man job. At the helm, Larry Graf, Aspen’s founder and CEO,
did the steering while simultaneously keeping tabs on our Garmin
plotter, where AIS signatures materialized like measles as the miles
moseyed along. In the copilot’s seat, I handled the VHF while simul-
taneously trying to interpret exactly what was coming at us; or, more
to the point, how the phantasmagoria of running lights, masthead
lights, special flashing lights, deck lights, spotlights and lights ashore
would impact the next couple minutes of running time.
“Man,” muttered Larry, a long-time denizen of the Pacific North-
west, “we never see traffic like this out on the West Coast. Most of
this stuff is huge. Some of these tows are 1,000-footers at least. Some
gotta be 1,200-footers! And they just keep on comin’.”
“Yeah,” I agreed, squinting through a set of Steiner binoculars.
“Navigation down here is a realm unto itself. Skinny, narrow water,
too—real skinny, real narrow.”
It was half past midnight. We were many hours into a hell-bent-
for-leather delivery of the C120 from Galveston to New Orleans, a
distance of roughly 300 miles on the Intracoastal. As rain hammered
the windshield and giant bolts of lightning blazed, our big, panto-
graph-type wipers slapped rhythmically and the Steiners revealed an
immense tow in the distance, stacking up for a head-on meeting.
The thing appeared to be stalled in a tight horseshoe bend, the shape
of which glowed faintly on the Garmin’s screen.
“Here comes another one, Larry,” I noted with resignation. “Let’s
hope it’s not an instant replay of the last fracas.”

engines roared, churning purple, lightning-lit water. “What a night,”

said Larry, while compensating for the tug’s wheel wash with a little
starboard helm. We both squinted into the gloom. Given the signifi-
cant distance between the red and green running lights at the head
of the Mary Boudreaux’s tow, the monster coming our way had to be
a “double-wide” at least. What a night indeed.

AN OVERNIGHT CRUISE TO THE KEYS ON THE NEPTUNUS 650 REVEALS WHY
OWNERS RETURN TO THE BRAND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
BY LOUISA BECKETT
W
When I entered the Neptunus 650 Express named Captain High-
way in her Marco Island, Florida, marina at the start of our trip
to deliver the yacht to the 2018 Miami Yacht Show, I stopped to
admire the colorful buildings, palm trees and sparkling water
through her sweeping salon windows, windshield and aft sliding
glass doors. These are the views that greet her owner during the
winter months when he uses the yacht as his Florida “snowbird”
home. Then, each spring, he drives Captain Highway back to his
summer home on the Atlantic seaboard.
“Ninety-five percent of Neptunus boat owners are owner/opera-
tors,” said Neptunus Yachts Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong.
A native of the Netherlands, De Jong drew on the Dutch yacht-
building tradition to found Neptunus Yachts in Niagra-on-the-
Lake, Ontario, Canada, in 1989. In 1991, the company moved to St.
Catharine’s, Ontario, a convenient 45-minute drive from the airport
in Buffalo, New York. Since then, Neptunus has changed hands a
couple of times, but De Jong and his team, many of whom have
more than two decades of experience under their belts, are there to
provide continuity for the brand.
Today, Neptunus is focused on building yachts in a fairly narrow
size range, with just three models from 55 to 72 feet in length, each
of which is offered in enclosed express and open flybridge versions.
Nevertheless, about 75 percent of the owners who buy Neptunus
Yachts each year are repeat customers—including Captain Highway’s
owner, who is on his seventh boat and his third Neptunus.
“We have a very loyal following,” said De Jong, who explained that
it’s not uncommon for a Neptunus owner to build a new boat that
is the same model as his or her previous one, in order to make a few
tweaks, such as substituting an office for a third head. “For a small
company, we do a lot of custom work for our clients, even making
layout changes,” he said.
The 650 Express, an enclosed sport cruiser, has proved to be a very
popular model for Neptunus. Naval architect Tony Castro designed
the hull, a deep-V with a deadrise of 19.5 degrees at the transom,
which gives the yacht both a seakindly ride and a top speed (with
upgrade power) of over 33 knots. The hull also has propeller tunnels,
which reduce the draft to 4 feet, 8 inches, making it a great boat for
Florida and the Bahamas.
Capt. Peter Selmeci of Florida Yacht Services, whom Neptunus
hired for the delivery trip, found reason to be grateful for her draft
not long after leaving the marina as he guided the yacht through
a silted-up inlet into the Gulf of Mexico. The day was bright and
sunny, with a 12-knot breeze and calm seas—ideal conditions for
running about 100 nautical miles south/southwest to Marathon in the
Florida Keys, our first night’s destination. We settled into a comfort-
able, economical cruise speed in the 24-knot range at 1850 rpm.

Flex Your Coupling
Many boats today have a flexible coupling between the gearbox and
prop shaft; if yours doesn’t, you might want to add one. A flexible
coupling—Drivesaver from Global Marine Products ([Link])
is one, but there are several other brands—can compensate for slight
shaft misalignment while reducing vibration from the propeller. It’s
basically a thick, hard plastic washer that fits between the halves of
the shaft coupling; it’s not very flexible, really, but more flexible than a
steel-on-steel connection.
A flexible coupling also insulates the prop shaft from the gearbox,
protecting against damage from stray currents. (It’s easy to make an
electrical connection if desired, using a piece of copper strap; some
couplings use a proprietary connector instead.) But the biggest advan-
tage of a flexible coupling is its weakness: Should the propeller strike
an immovable object, the coupling is designed to fail, to break apart
and prevent damage to the gearbox and engine. (Okay, the prop and
maybe shaft and strut are history, but at least the other machinery is

f your boat is more than a few years
old, you’ll eventually need to renew
the bedding compound under at least
some of her deck hardware. This chore
is important, especially on boats with
balsa-cored decks, teak-planked decks and
fuel tanks located directly below the fuel fills.
Water intrusion under such circumstances
can cause rot, corrosion and other dire
developments long before obvious warning
signs manifest. Probably the gloomiest (read:
most expensive) problems arise in a fuel-
tank-directly-below-the-fuel-fill scenario. If
the bedding compound involved is dried out
and cracked, water is undoubtedly slipping
through, damaging the surrounding coring
material (if the deck is in fact cored) and
eating away at the top of any fuel tank that
happens to be blanketed with a moisture-
trapping, crevice-corrosion-causing material,
like sound insulation, plywood sheathing or
plain ol’ fiberglass. Steel tanks are notorious
for this kind of thing, but modern aluminum
tanks are not immune either.
