Golden edition of world's largest boat show planned

Scheduled for February 16-20, 1991, the Golden
Edition of the Miami International Boat Show and the
Miami International Sailboat Show the south's only
in-water sail show will feature a worldwide variety
of marine-related products to appeal to every type of
boating enthusiast, with bargains and specials to fit
every type of budget.
The 1991 Miami International Boat Show, at the
Miami Beach Convention Center, will feature a record
number of exhibitors including several companies
which have exhibited since the very first show. Along
with affordable runabouts, ski boats, fishing boats,
high-performance racers and luxury yachts, there will
be all types of engines, accessories and marine related
services. The event will cover more than two million
square feet inside and outside the convention center.
Outside, the boat show's Outdoor Exhibition will
be located on the west side of the convention center,
offering a comprehensive and glittering display of
marine products from around the world.
Visitors to the show can get "refreshed" at the
dozens of food and beverage areas located inside and
outside the convention center. From homemade fudge
to the good old American hot dog, this show will have
it all.
In celebration of the Miami International Boat
Show's 50th edition, historical displays will be
sponsored by the show. In addition, several
companies will also present historical memorabilia and
displays at their exhibits.
An assortment of other nautical gift items, ranging
in all price categories, such as clothing, jewelry, deck
shoes and more will be available at the Marine Mart
mezzanine section of the convention center.
Both the Skywalk Pavilion and the Marine Mart
will provide show-goers the opportunity to carry away
their purchases of the day.
The Miami International Boat Show's tradition of
excellence will continue at the Biscayne Bay Marriott
Marina, where the show's all-power in-water
exhibition will be back for another exciting year. A full
fleet of powerboats, ranging in size from small
runabouts to all types of yachts, will fill the entire
marina.
Meanwhile, at the International Yacht Harbor
(formerly the Miami Beach Marina), the Luxury Yacht

-page 14

Pier, a collection of the world's finest and most
expensive million-dollar yachts will make its debut.
"This year's boat show will feature a wider
selection of products from a greater number of
exhibitors than ever before," said show manager Lloyd
Yanis. "As there exists a real buyer's market for
marine products, consumers can expect to see even
more discounts and 'show specials' at the 1991
show."
Visitors to the show who find that "special"
bargain may then pay a visit to any of the number of
lenders on hand offering special financing packages.
Another introduction and special highlight of this
year's sailboat show will be the 1991 International
Sailing Conference, a series of seminars, meetings and
workshops. Programs will be held every day for the
public during the entire run of the show. There will be
no extra charge for any program.
The show's history has always included exciting
new features, and the 1991 show will be no exception.
One of the debuts this year will be the convention
center's new Skywalk Pavilion, located directly above
the main floor. This new area will give visitors the

chance to observe a magnificent panoramic view of the
world's largest boat show. In addition, the pavilion
will also feature-upscale retail marine products ranging
in price from $100 and up.
According to Yanis, visitors to the 1991 Miami
International Boat Show and Sailboat Show need not
feel overwhelmed by the show's size.
"We've come a long way from the first show to
become the world's largest boat show, but it's
important that we remain 'user-friendly,'" he said.
"Boats and products will be grouped together and
organized in an orderly fashion, allowing visitors to
take the best advantage of our size and variety while
concentrating on the products which are of the greatest
interest to them," he said. "We'll also have information
booths and prominently posted signs throughout the
convention center, offering additional guidance for
visitors."
One ticket allows same day entry to all three show
locations. Continuous free shuttlebus service will be
provided connecting all show sites and the huge
Sparking lot at the Park-and-Ride facility on Watson
Island.

Sailboat show's on a historic site

By SUSAN B. PETERSON
In the 1926 hurricane, many boats were wrecked
in South Florida, among them, a huge five-masted
schooner, the Rose Mahoney. The 400-footer was
blown up on land and lay at the south side of Miami's
municipal docks for more than two years until the
salvage contract was awarded to Capt. J.O. Webster,
who bid $7,435 on a "no cure, no pay" basis.
Capt. J.O. Webster's own salvage business and yard
was located at the site of the present-day Miami
International Sailboat Show.
Webster, an experienced salvor and marine
contractor who built the jetties from Government Cut
to Jupiter Inlet, planned to cut the vessel down so that
he could rebuild either the bow or the stern part of the
keel into a barge. He was to remove the Rose
Mahoney within several months of receiving the
contract in December, 1928, and he did. It was an
enormous job.
The bowsprit, measuring 102 feet, became a mast
for the Miami aquarium ship. Timbers from the Rose
Mahoney were used to build Webster's new tugboat,
Thelma, the largest tug built in Miami up to that time.
The large masts were sent to Atlanta.
Capt. Webster's nephew, Weston Franklin
Hempstead, worked on the Rose Mahoney contract

and the jetty building jobs and kept diaries, which his
son, Wcs Hempstead Jr. shared with us for this
article. Following are excerpts from these diaries:
-1926-
Sept. 14. Went to Baker's Haulover and put rock
out on jetties. Tide strong, dragged our moorings,
dropped inside at high tide.
Sept. 17. Victor and I went to Coconut Grove and
got a big scow loaded with rock. Started out. Heavy
north wind. Not making much headway. Went to city
dock and tied up big scow and two tow boats. OK.
Went to Webster's house. I called up the weather
bureau and they told me a hurricane was centered at
Nassau and would hit Miami at early mom."
The hurricane did hit on Sept. 8, and devastation
followed.
Sept. 19. The weather has cleared up and
everyone is suffering from the effects of the storm ...
lots of houses have disappeared the ambulances
and trucks are hauling injured and dead people to the
city. I took Pop's Dodge down to Webster's and I
walked over to the docks. The big scow-load of rock
sits up on the dock. The towboat Eugene is setting up
(intact) on the east side of Bayshore Drive with a mess
of other boats and tugs; the other towboat sunk in 20

The Pompano Beach Seafood Festival has
been cancelled by the Greater Pompano Beach
Chamber of Commerce. Reacting to a City
Commission directive requiring the chamber to turn
over 60 percent of the next festival's proceeds to
charity and cap the chamber's own profits at $25,000,
the sponsor of the seafood festival for the past five
years claims it could not afford to produce the event.
The city would also no longer contribute $15,000
worth of police protection and garbage pickups to the
event.
The seafood festival had been scheduled for April
27-28. The chamber needs city approval to hold the
event on the beachfront and public streets.. There are
reports that the city is thinking of having its own
seafood festival, but the chamber has supposedly
threatened to sue if they do.
The Pompano Fishing Rodeo is uneffected
by the sea festival's demise and is scheduled for May
10-11, according to tournament organizers. The past

two years, the seafood festival and fishing rodeo were
held the same weekend with the tournament's award
ceremony being held on the beach at the height of the
festival. Plus, thousands of festival goers would

A waterfront park has been approved by the
City of Wilton Manors for the north fork of Middle
River despite pleas from some residents of
neighboring Highland Estates. Plans for the new park
include canoe launching facilities, a fishing pier and a
police substation. Local residents fear a park will
become a haven for drug dealers in a neighborhood
already suffering a crime problem. City officials feel a
park and police personnel presence will benefit the
area.
A sailing race to Cuba is being considered by
one of the sponsors of the Lauderdale to Key West
Race. The Storm Trysail Club wants to sail to Cuba as

4 Waterfront News February 1991 Letters

Lauderdale Isles setback proponent responds

To the Editor:
This letter is in reference to the "Editors Log"
section of your November 1990 issue. [See also
"Lauderdale Isles setbacks ." Waterfront News,
page 6, December 1990.]
You initiated a phone call to me after either the
August or September meeting of the Marine Advisory
Board. Your lead question was about resident dock
renting and was I for or against it. I replied I'm not
opposed and don't know how that rumor got started. I
asked how you came about this information, who did
you talk to and your answer was very vague; you
didn't come up with a name or reference. It's obvious
to me that it came from someone who attended the
SMarine Advisory Board meetings or associated with
them.
The article caused a great deal of confusion and
misunderstanding among some residents here in the
Isles. I want to set the record straight of what took
place.
S Because of recent mooring property line violations,
I went to the Marine Advisory Board [MAB] on
SAugust 8, 1990 and requested they look into this
matter. MAB Chairman John Grady had his staff look
into it and at the October 4, 1990 meeting the staff
reported approximately 35-40 violations of various
types: mooring, boats too large, suspected business
operating, some rafting, etc. The Board felt there was
[sic] not enough mooring violations to pursue a change
on mooring. A meeting on October 11, 1990 took
place with Mr. George Counts [President of the
Lauderdale Isles Civic Improvement Association] and
the Isles association trustees. I briefed them on the
MAB findings. It was discussed and a consensus was
that if any proposals or recommendations were to be
made, it would be for a five-foot mooring setback.
Myself, Mr. Counts and others are aware that the MAB
operated on an advisory capacity only. Additionally,
any change to Ord. 88-17 affects all waterway areas
including Lauderdale Isles, all of unincorporated
Broward County.
At this point, I'd like to refer to my letter of August
29, 1990 to the Marine Advisory Board [in] which I
said "We need to receive input from those concerned."
Mr. Counts as president and the trustees haven't
yet decided, nor have they had time to organize any
action they might take.
My purpose at the November 1, 1990 meeting was
to advise the MAB of this fact. At this meeting, some
of the residents voiced their opinions based ,on the
article. Someone took the article, attached a flyer to it,
and sent it around the neighborhood and at the MAB
meeting. Some of the information on the flyer is not
correct and misleading. I never received one in the
neighborhood. I asked for one at the MAB meeting.
One of the board members, Mr. John Schlegal,
interrupted the discussion to put things in perspective.

He stated the procedure. The matter was tabled, no
motion to unable and based on my opening statement
that no decision was made and we shouldn't even be
talking about this.
The article started out: "Lauderdale Isles residents
are trying to convince," etc. Not true. The convincing
state isn't a factor yet no decision to pursue this has
been determined.
Further in "Reed and the LICA are planning to
go," etc. Not true either as I've previously explained
ref. time, notification to all concerned and decisions
made.
Looking from another point of view, I can see the
confusion and misunderstanding. I feel that these
people don't understand the system, how the process
works.
No one individual, or small groups of individuals
can change anything without due process or proper
notification. There are safeguards throughout the
system to protect all of us against any action of this
type.

There is a saying that goes: "Beware the sleeping
dog," or something like that. No matter. The sleeping
dog in this story is the Florida Marine Patrol, (FMP),

After last year's legislative session during which
our industry was battered from within and without,
Col. Ellingsen quietly began his preparation in

plan is yet another grab for funding that equates to a

Editor's note: The Lauderdale Isles Civic
Improvement Association will be holding a general
meeting 8 p.m., Thursday, January 31, at St. Ambrose
Church, 2250 SW 31 Avenue. The agenda includes
the election of 1991 association officers. The meeting
notice circulated within the neighborhood also
mentioned the setback issue.
"Despite reports in a paper and by those
distributing circulars and petitions, no officer or
member of your Civic Association has made a request
to alter waterway or dock setbacks here. [Broward
County] Marine Advisory Committee members
indicate they will not consider this until 80 percent of
our residents request it," wrote civic association
president George Counts, apparently distancing
himself and his association from Reed.
The Marine Advisory Committee [MAC] has in
fact ruled that that body will not revisit the setback
issue unless directed to by the Chairperson of the
Broward County Commission or the County
Administrator.
Reed has reportedly requested from the county a
copy of the November MAC meeting minutes at which
he was rebuffed by the committee.

tax on boat operators. Like last year's failed bill, the
current proposal simply requires a $12 fee after an
applicant passes a simple test. There is still no mention
of a comprehensive education program for all boaters,
and, just as bad, a grandfather clause for persons
operating boats prior to October 1992 -just the group
who have been involved in the accidents that have
sparked the legislative push in the first place.
To make matters worse, the NMMA [National
Marine Manufacturers Association] is, once again,
pushing for the passage of the bill. The association
contends that a simple license will be "less onerous" to
the boating public than a mandatory education law.
This year, however, perhaps some sense will
prevail. The board of the MIAF has voted to back an
education package. Furthermore, Representative
Marion Lewis, this year's chairman of the Palm Beach
County Legislative Delegation, has expressed her
approval of an education bill, a view that is shared by a
number of experienced legislators.

Question-
You know the song "Nobody Knows The
Troubles I Have?" I have them. I bought a boat at an
auction sale. Got carried away with the bidding and
bought an older wooden boat that is a disaster. Worms,
rot under the paint, engine needs an overhauling and
electric wires and instruments need replacing. Looked
the boat over before I bought it and have no recourse.
Should I take my loss or try to repair it enough so
that I can sell it?
Sims
Answer-
Why try to stick it to someone else? You know
how you feel. I would get an estimate on the cost of
getting that boat in good shape and use it. You liked it
when you bought it, you may like it when you get it in
usable shape and enjoy it.
If you bought it right and can repair it reasonably, I
would keep the boat.
Al

Q-
My boat is a mess in the bilges: oil, water, and
since I bought it from an avid fisherman it smells to
high heaven from, I suppose, bait and whatever fell in.
Runs OK and everything works and the price was
right, but oh, that stink!
What to do?
Sylvia
A-
I know, I know. I do inspections and some people
should not have boats. If the smell is overpowering I
worry about the condition of the rest of the boat. Well,
first you will have to flush and hose out the boat in all
crannies and comers. Scrape and use a good cleaner or
bleach and a good non-flammable solvent until you get
most of it out. Take a half cup of detergent and let it
slosh around for a few days. The rocking of the boat
will really clean it up. Pump and flush again and try
not to pump overboard. Put all dirt and water in
containers and dispose of properly.
Put on a few stick-ons. It will help.

Q _
I have just bought a small sailboat with a Yanmar
diesel engine in it for power. While I know nothing
about diesel engines, I read the manual that came with
the boat. It mentions changing the zincs in the engine
and the regular maintenance of this engine. I can
change the oil and the filters etc. But where are these
zincs? I do not have a picture or diagram to show
where to start.
Can you tell me where to look as I thought zincs
were on the shafts or rudders etc.
Philip
A-
Zincs are on shafts and struts, etc., under the boat
and grounded to the motor to prevent corrosion and
electrolysis. Many motors have internal zincs to protect
them in case you do not replace the zincs that are on
the hardware on the boat.
The Yanmar has two zincs in the motor, one in the
block at the rear and one in the front that screws into a
holder. The rear one is on a plate with four bolts that
the zinc screws into. Most marine stores stock them
and DO change them as they really disintegrate over a
period of time. That rear plate is also a clean-out plate.

To all who read this column-
May you have carefree boating for '91.

Q-
I have a six-cylinder Lehman diesel in my trawler
that runs swell and shuts off when I turn off the motor
and starts fine, but I'm a little worried now. One of my
so-called buddies told me a horror story about a diesel
engine runaway. Wouldn't shut off with a switch
engine. Tore itself to pieces speeding up and would
not shut down. Now I have a feeling of apprehension
that it won't shut off when I turn the key or my throttle
won't control the fuel pump.
Hey, what could you really do?
John
A-
Let me set your mind at ease. These stories have
been around for years and I've heard them all.
First, the throttle control has to fall off or
disengage. Second, the fuel solenoid switch has to fail
to shut off the fuel that feeds the engine. Both have to
happen to allow the engine to run free. Now, diesel
engines run on air and fuel. All fuel lines must have
shutoff valves to be legal. Find out where yours is and

Paint it red or tag it. That's one.
Now, find you air intake and I assure you if you
plug that with a towel or hat or anything available that
engine will stop.
Enjoy your boat of all engines diesels are the
safest.

Lauderdale candidates discuss waterfront issues

With Fort Lauderdale in the midst of city-wide
election campaigns, the Waterfront News thought a
waterfront quizzing of the candidates for mayor and
commissioner seats would be of interest to our
readership. The city is wrestling with its identity and
an older generation of leadership is handing of the
baton of political power to a younger.
Candidates were asked five questions that required
just a yes or no, for or against answers. Politicians
were allowed to supplement their one-word answers
with comments. Their one-word answers are listed in
the "box score" (see right). The candidates' comments
are examined below.
The Mayoral Race
City Commission Jim Naugle and former Broward
County School Board Chairman Neil Sterling are
locked in an apparently tight race to succeed marina
owner Bob Cox as Mayor of Fort Lauderdale. Dr. Joe
Smith may serve as spoiler forcing Naugle and Sterling
into a runoff in March if no one gets over 50 percent of
the vote.
None of the three mayoral candidates will come
straight out and support the right of waterfront
property owners to rent out their dock space. Sterling
and Naugle are against "the abusers;" but, both "talk"
about zoning "self-determination" within appropriate "
waterfront neighborhoods where there is "strong
support." Smith, a chiroprator, says he is opposed to
dock rentals within R-1 and R-1A zones.
When it comes to the "L-word," Naugle and Smith
say that live-aboards are an asset to the community so
long as the boaters properly dispose of their sewage
and are moored in areas zoned for such utilization.
Sterling views live-aboards as both a problem and an
asset for the waterfront community.
All three mayoral candidates would like to see a
tunnel where the 17th Street Causeway now stands.
Naugle maintains that a hotel based at the convention
center will "not work without a tunnel." Smith is
worried an expensive tunnel may tap already tax-
burdened waterfront property owners.
"If costs make [a tunnel] prohibitive," Sterling
said, "[he] will support a new bridge."
The Commissioners
Incumbent City Commissioner Carlton Moore
prefers a tall fixed bridge over the Intracoastal
Waterway (ICW) at 17th Street. Moore, unopposed in
his Third District, looks upon such a span as a
landmark and vantage point for Port Everglades and
the city's waterways, much like Golden Gate Bridge is
to San Francisco Bay.
District Four Commissioner Doug Danziger is the
other unopposed incumbent. While opposed to R-1
dock rentals, he thinks the debate going about the issue
has been constructive, making Danziger "more
sensitive to marine issues."
"People on both sides have been talking,"
observed Danziger, "and have a better understanding
of each other."
Commissioner Moore is undecided about the
dockage issue. He's against allowing rentals city-wide;
but beyond that, Moore sees, "Pro's and con's" on
both sides of the debate.
The Southwest
Lawyer Jack Latona is vying with realtor Bruce
Tyrrell and publisher Carmen Diaz Fabian to fill

Naugle's Fourth District seat. All three are for
allowing residential dock rentals and a tunnel. Their
district straddles the New River and the finger canals
that spread out from the river's North and South forks.
Fabian and Latona view live-aboards as an asset.
Latona qualifies his support for live-aboards with
concerns about pollution and density problems such
activities impact the city. He is wary of the "unfair
drain on the tax base" live-aboards impose on
waterfront neighborhoods.
Fabian gives her unqualified support to live-
aboards as an asset to the city's image.
Tyrrell views live-aboards as "neither an asset or a
problem" to community.
Tyrrell and Fabian favor a "No Wake Zone" for
the entire ICW within Fort Lauderdale. Latona is
undecided.
"I'm not sure that's the answer," Latona replied.
District Two
Sheila Harrigan has drawn five contenders for her
commission seat.
Wooden sign maker Joe Hcssman lives on the
beachfront and lists "beach revitalization" plans of the
city as one of his "major concerns." He favors the
expansion of city docking facilities at Birch/Las Olas
parkland, but strongly opposes developers having
direct access to the beach.
Cary Keno, a jeweler, narrowly lost to Harrigan
three years ago and hopes benefit from the experience

and exposure. A licensed boat captain and member of
the Coast Guard Auxiliary, is against dock rentals in
residential neighborhoods; but, "if every thing is
enforced and legal," Keno thinks live-aboards are an
asset to the city.
Retired photographer Joe Wagstaff is for
residential dock rentals but is concerned about the
waterfront property tax structure and the effects
rezoning would have on the pocketbook. "Some" live-
aboards are assets to the community, but not all, says
Wagstaff.
Businessman Jay Litz is for dock rentals and live-
aboards as long as they are properly dispose of their
sewage. He opposes a tunnel given the current
"economic climate and complexities." The former boat
owner favors a "No Wake" zone for the ICW if the
"marine community favors speed limit reductions."
Former city administrator Laura Ward wants to
"wait and see" what the Waterways Master Plan
Committee recommends concerning dock rentals.
Harrigan states, "I would like to see more
vocational marine maintenance training programs in
our schools." The incumbent concludes, "This concept
could be a great business incubator."
She prefers a bridge to a tunnel; "but, a tunnel is
acceptable."
"Considering a bridge would be one-third the cost
and more aesthetic," reflects Harrigan, "it is more
favorable to me."

Waterfront aquarium in a fiscal fishbowl

By GLORIA KATZ
The New World Aquarium supporters will be
regrouping and looking at their project in a new light.
After a meeting with Florida's Education
Commissioner Betty Castor last month, it became
apparent that the Aquarium's $11.75 million in
Castor's budget may be in jeopardy.
Castor was enthusiastic about the idea but
suggested holding off a year and encouraged revised
plan for state Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO)
money, said School Board Chairman Bob Parks who
was present at the meeting.
"Our new strategy is to keep the committee intact,
but to re-evaluate and pursue the idea," said Parks,
who is also a member of the New World Aquarium
Board.
The School Board was uncomfortable with the
project because there were too many unknowns and
the educational benefits were hazy, said Parks. Now
aquarium supporters can refocus and begin to work
on the educational component.
The aquarium seems to have become a political
football.with a misplaced focus on its use as a tourist-
oriented fish tank. The true story, says Parks, is that it
was to be an educational research center tied in with
the arts, science and education district in downtown
Fort Lauderdale.
"It's an environmental educational facility," said
Sherri Kovac Kimbel, executive director. In fact,
teachers and science curriculum specialists were
present at the meeting with Castor. Approximately
47,000 school children would be using the aquarium a
year.
"An aquarium in Broward would provide
educators with innovative an participatory
educational programs available to all teachers and
students," says teacher Karen M. Blyler, president of
the Florida Marine Education Association in a letter
circulated to newspapers.
Parks admitted the original price was extravagant
at $58 million. The major source of funding was to be
from PECO funds with secondary funding coming
from federal grants, national and Florida foundations,
and corporate grants. The City of Fort Lauderdale
voted to contribute $3.3 million mostly in land situated
near the New River at SW Second St. and Fourth,
Ave.

To scale back the project, Tom Panza, president of
the Aquarium's board of directors, has suggested
meeting with the engineers and architects to determine
if the educational objectives and goals can be metjust
as well with a $28 or $30 million project as a $58
million one.
"I just wanted to stop, step back and look at the
educational components, meet with the architect and
talk to Commissioner Castor and find out what she
thought," Panza said.
He has recommended waiting to July to resubmit
plans, meanwhile developing materials of educational
value to present to the public and still pursuing private

Florida gets $3.69 million
for 17th Street tunnel
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Rep. E. Clay
Shaw of Fort Lauderdale announced Tuesday that
$3.69 million to begin funding for the 17th Street
Tunnel was delivered to Florida in December.
The funds, to be used for preliminary engineering
and environmental studies for the project, was
appropriated in the fiscal year 1991 Transportation
Appropriations Act and will be made available to the
Florida Department of Transportation.
"Each development brings us closer to the reality,"
Shaw said of the tunnel planned to carry traffic under
the Intracoastal Waterway at SE 17th Street Causeway.
For years traffic has bottled up at one of South
Florida's busiest intersections of water and road.

and grant funding.
"It may delay us six months or a year, but
everything else still moves forward," Panza said. "The
project should stand on its own merits."
The deadline to put the project in next year's
education budget would be August 1, 1991. That
would mean no planning money would be incoming
until 1992. Planning money amounts to $600,000.
Meanwhile, Kimbel, the present director of the
aquarium project, is working under a grant given two
years ago. The money is due to run out in March but
Kimbel, who says they are not giving up, has pledged
to stay on. "I believe in this project," she said.

Artificial reef experiments to be conducted off Palm Beach

By CRAIG LUSTGARTEN
A University of Miami marine biology professor
will be conducting research experiments off Palm
Beach County's shores using artificial reef modules to
determine the best designs for future reef sinking
projects.
Dr. Alina Szmant, a professor of marine biology
and fisheries at the University of Miami, has received a
$100,000 grant from the Florida Sea Grant program to
conduct the two-to-five-year study, in conjunction
with Palm Beach County's Department of
Environmental Resource Management (DERM).

DERM will construct the artificial reef modules and
then deposit them in about forty (40) feet of water off
the beach at the Southern Boulevard Bridge. Eighteen
modules of differing complexities will be constructed
and set out in replicate groups.
Dr. Szmant talked about the purpose of the
experiment, stating, "We're trying to see if we can
design a better artificial reef for use in Florida waters,
which will not only aggregate fish but create a new
food source for fish and the rest of the marine
material."
Szmant continued that most of the artificial reefs

Palm Beach County's reef program

By CRAIG LUSTGARTEN
As the destruction of offshore reefs has risen, so
has the need for artificial reef programs such as the one
initiated by Palm Beach County in 1985.
Coordinated by Palm Beach County's Department
of Environmental Resource Management (DERM), the
artificial reef program has spawned new marine
habitats in several offshore sites throughout the
county.
Since 1985, twelve artificial reefs have been
deposited off the county's shores either north or south
of four major inlets Jupiter, Lake Worth, Boynton
and Boca Raton.
The deposition program is funneled through the
Artificial Reef and Estuarine Enhancement Committee,
a 16-member board established by the Palm Beach
County Board of Commissioners in 1985. In
1990, the committee was endowed with the additional
responsibility of restoring beaches and estuaries.
Restoring the Lake Worth Lagoon and Loxahatchee
River are just two of the many projects to be
undertaken by the committee and DERM.
Funding for the artificial reef sinking projects
comes primarily from the county's vessel registration
fees and an annual grant from the Department of
Natural Resources.
James Vaughn, an environmentalist with DERM,
related that the latest artificial reef was sunk in
December just north of the Jupiter Inlet. Known as
Miss Jenny, the 55-foot dredge barge was dropped in
90-feet of water along with 300 tons of concrete
donated by Martin County as part of a joint venture
with Palm Beach.
Vaughn stated that Miss Jenny was a derelict
vessel that was abandoned in the Indian River Lagoon.
The vessel was towed to the drop point and sunk so
that it stuck straight up. As a vertical relief, it is

designed to capture algae, coral, and fish from the
Gulf Stream. Once the vessel's steel frame has
deteriorated, the concrete will remain to serve as the
artificial reef.
In addition, two other artificial reefs have been
sunk in the same area as Miss Jenny, creating a line of
productive habitats. The first reef included 250 tons of
concrete utility poles; the second is the 147-foot harbor
tanker, the Esso Bonair.
Vaughn stated, "We now have three very different
types of reef configurations, each of which are ideal
representations of a different type, all located within
the same area."
It is expected that the latest artificial reef sinking
will provide an excellent area for fishing within
months.
DERM's goal is to create at least one deep and one
shallow artificial reef at each major site in order to
please both divers and fishermen. All the reefs at the
Jupiter Inlet site are in shallow water, so officials at
DERM are looking to execute a deep-water artificial
reef sinking in the near future.

that have been sunk offshore over the past several
years are made up of old ships or concrete, and that
marine life needs more than a shell structure to survive
- they need a food source.
Many of these vessels are just not complex enough
to meet delicate food requirements and few studies
have been directed at finding out what makes a more
productive reef.
Dr. Szmant is attempting to prove that a better
artificial reef design results in greater trapping and
recycling of nutrients, which in turn increases the
productivity of the reef. The results of the study could
prove especially beneficial in the construction or
deposition of artificial reefs in shallower waters, where
a different type of reef is needed (algae-based system)
to spawn a productive food chain.
Natural coral reefs are believed to be some of the
most productive ecosystems, despite the fact that they
are often located in areas where there aren't an
abundance of nutrients. Szmant will be trying to
simulate the internal complexity of reef systems and the
way in which they trap nutrients.
Using Dr. Szmant's specifications, DERM will be
constructing the artificial reef modules into a truncated
pyramid shape, with plenty of surface area for algae
growth and pores to trap nutrients and attract marine
life. Designs will range in complexity from empty
truncated pyramids (little or no complexity) to identical
pyramids filled with loose block material with an array
of nooks and crannies to trap marine material.

Guide offered to help short-circuit boat electrical fires

Many boat fires caused by electrical system failure
can be prevented, according to a national organization
of recreational boat owners, which has produced a
free "Self-Inspection Guide for 12-Volt Electrical
Systems" to help skippers identify potential trouble
spots.
Produced by the Boat Owners' Association of the
United States U.S. Damage Avoidance Program, the
fact-filled guide contains a comprehensive checklist on
the proper installation, regular inspection and routine
maintenance of boat electrical systems.

Fuel saving tips for boaters
Both motorists and boat owners are feeling the
pinch of the nickel per gallon increase in the federal
excise tax on gas approved by Congress and signed
into law by President Bush which went into effect on
December 1.
The gas tax increase will cost the nation's boaters
an added $50 million per year. However, half of the
tax collected will be deposited in the Aquatic Resources
(Wallop/Breaux) Trust Fund. This fund is used to
support state and Coast Guard boating safety,
education and law enforcement efforts. Over $120
million per year is now collected from boaters and
deposited in the fund.
To cope with the rising price of gas, Boat Owners
Association of the United States, a national
organization of recreational boat owners, offers these
simple fuel-saving tips:
Make sure the engine is properly tuned.
Use the correct propeller size. Replace props
with damaged blades.
Clean the bottom of the boat. Barnacles, weeds,
etc. can be the most serious threat to engine
performance.
Extra weight reduces performance. Don't carry
more gas or water than you need for an outing. Drain
the bilges. Store unneeded supplies and equipment
ashore.
As you "trim" the boat, maintain RPMs at the
level recommended by the manufacturer.
Reduce wind resistance by keeping canvas bow
shelters and Bimini tops down and furled until needed
for protection, from the elements.
Take advantage of favorable tides and currents.

According to the guide, more than 25 percent of
all boat fires are caused by failure of the boat's 12-
volt electrical system. A short-circuit can generate
temperatures hot enough to melt steel or instantly
ignite other boatbuilding materials, while stray current
from an improperly installed electrical system can
destroy bronze hull fittings in a matter of days.
Some tips from this free guide include:
1. Equip your vessel with a panelboard for fuses
or circuit-breakers. The most common cause of
electrical fires aboard boats can be traced to the lack of
circuit protection. A distribution panelboard, with
built-in circuit-breakers or fuses, is the best place to
hook up accessories.
2. Install a master battery disconnect switch which
is accessible without opening engine spaces. A master
switch provides a means of instantly cutting off the
source of power if an electrical short occurs.
3. All 12-volt wiring should be of adequate size to
handle the required load (amperage rating of the
accessory and length of wire). Undersized wiring
increases resistance which creates heat, causing
insulation to crack or melt. Longer wires need to be
larger-sized (a smaller gauge number) than shorter
wires.
4. Replace wiring if there are signs of wear or
overheating. Even moisture and heat-resistant
insulation can deteriorate over time when exposed to
water and/or sunlight, or when it is subjected to more
current than it was designed for.
5. Wires should be clear of bilges and other areas
where water and oil can accumulate. Insulation will
deteriorate rapidly when allowed to stand in water or
soak in oil. Stray electrical current from wiring that is
allowed to sag into bilge water can eause corrosion of
thru-hull fittings and fasteners.
6. Make sure all connections are tight, clean, free
of corrosion and protected from drips and spray.
Corrosion can be caused by exposure to moisture or
incompatible metals such as an aluminum screw or
steel washer in contact with copper wire.
7. If you use an automotive-type battery charger
to charge your boat's batteries, it should never be
installed aboard or attached to the batteries while the
batteries are connected to the electrical system.

Automotive battery chargers are not ignition-protected
and can cause an explosion when used in confined
spaces. If connected to batteries connected to the
boat's electrical system, stray current can cause rapid
deterioration of underwater metal fittings.
8. If you detect problems with your boat's
electrical system, consider hiring a marine surveyor or
marine electrician for an evaluation. If you are unsure
about installing electrical equipment, use the services
of a professional.

Key West's 31st annual Old Island Days underway

By ANDY NEWMAN
KEY WEST, Florida Keys The 31st Annual Old
Island Days celebration promises five months of
festivities (Jan. 19-May 31) benefitting restoration and
preservation of this subtropical island's unique
architectural heritage.
Sponsored by the nationally recognized Old Island
Restoration Foundation, this new season features more
than 50 events, including three of the foundation's
own internationally acclaimed House and Garden
Tours, Fourth Annual Flagging of the Old Island
Armada and 29th Annual Conch Shell Blowing
Contest. Also scheduled are the Ninth Annual Key

West Literary Seminar, arts and crafts exhibitions,
musicals, plays, concerts, ballets, beauty pageants,
bazaars, Massing of the Colors and Civil War re-
enactments.
The 1991 edition of Old Island Days begins with
the Oldest House Benefit Party on Jan. 19. The
foundation's popular House and Garden Tours, for
which tickets are $10, are scheduled to open to the
public 15 historic mansions and their gardens during
the weekends of Feb. 1-2, Feb. 15-16 and March 1-2.
Proceeds from the House and Garden Tours and
other fund-raising activities have enabled the non-profit:

foundation to donate, since its inception in 1960,
hundreds of thousands of dollars for restoration and
preservation of Key West public buildings and sites.
Historic structures benefitting from the foundation's
works include the Key West Lighthouse Museum, the
San Carlos Institute, the elegant red-brick Victorian
Key West Woman's Club and Key West's Old City
Hall.
With more than 3,100 structures designated as
official historic landmarks, Key West offers a wide
variety of architectural styles. Dominant influences are
Bahamian and New England styles, but such diverse
elements as Greek and Roman Classical Revival,
Victorian, Queen Anne, Creole and shotgun influences
may be found in dwellings ranging from cottages to
mansions. Since the restoration of the famous
Audubon House (named in honor of its most famous
visitor, world-renowned naturalist John James
Audubon) in 1960, jtist prior to when the historic
residence was to be razed to make way for a gasoline
station, many irreparable Key West structures have
been preserved with funds raised by the Old Island
Restoration Foundation.

Island Days; or for a free brochure of festival events,

Six area yacht clubs are again marshalling their
forces to put on the 50th anniversary Southern Ocean
Racing Conference (SORC).
The 1991 SORC will begin in Tampa Bay on Feb.
28 with the St. Petersburg Yacht Club (SPYC)
Triangles. Five more sailboat races will follow through
Mar. 12. Four out of the last five contests will be
staged off Broward and Dade Counties.
Since 1941, when William Labrot's Stormy
Weather was the first SORC series winner, the
matches have been an annual event off southern
Florida's shores (except during the Second World War
years 1942 through 1946). Dick Bertram, Will
Irwin, Ted and Bill Pascoe have all been past SORC

16 Waterfront News February 1991 Sailing

Solo sailors preparing for Uruguay

NEWPORT, R.I. Nandor Fa, who finished the
second stage of The BOC Challenge 1990-91 on
January 16 for a time of 53 days and 26 seconds, was
delighted with the performance of his Alba Regia.
"The boat is wonderful, she's absolutely perfect,"
said Nandor. "But I'm the one who's learning."
The Hungarian
skipper had to return to .
Port Elizabeth for .. .
replacement rudders i
after the original ones L
were lost in what is ',
believed to have been a f. "
collision with a whale in
the southern ocean.
He agreed,
however, that is was 4
difficult to steer the
yacht he designed and
built himself with the
new, smaller rudders. Nandor F
"But there are very few gear problems with the
boat," continued Nandor. "Though a little attention
will be needed to the rigging and mast
"I had at least 50 Chinese gybes that caused the
problems. The boat was slewing around because of
the new rudders. I will probably have to take out the
mast to attend again to the through-deck fitting."
He said he had plenty of power from the wind
generator and solar panels and he had only to use the
generator four times. "It got cold but I had plenty of
food," he said.
Nandor believes that had he not had to go back to
Port Elizabeth he might have finished fourth in
Sydney ahead of Phillipe Jeantot.
The interior of Alba Regia is very neat and
organized, and it has been commented upon that it's
the neatest boat so far to finish in Sydney.
Meanwhile, Robert Hooke hopes that work on his
Niihau 4 will be completed in time for him to be in
Sydney by January 21.

Repairs to Hooke's Niihau could take 10 days
NEWPORT, RI January 21: Robert Hooke has
reported to' The BOC Challenge headquarters in
Sydney that the repairs to Niihau 4, damaged in a
collision with a fishing trawler, could take some 10
days to complete.
Right after the accident, which occurred some 80
miles from Sydney, Hooke said the work on Niihau
could be completed in four days.
Niihau's skipper, an American banker-sculptor
living in London, England, explained that the accident
occurred when he was below decks receiving a
weatherfax and the crew of the trawler was working
aft.
Hooke, who was towed to Ulladulla after the
collision, said the hole was about halfway between the
beam and the bow on Niihau's starboard side.
Meanwhile, Hal Roth who returned to Cape Town
for repairs to Sebago, was yesterday some 1300 miles
from the Sydney finish of the second stage of The
BOC Challenge 1990-91, at 42 08S 126 35E.
The fleet will start the third leg of The BOC
Challenge 1990-91 to Punta del Este, Uruguay on
February 3.

U.S. interest high with six entries to date

Whitbread Round-the-World Race issues new rules ..

By SHARON MALON
With interest in the 1993/94 Whitbread Round-the-
World Race (WRTWR) at an all-time high, new rules
were released this past January in London to allow
even closer competition in the longest, toughest sailing
event in the world.
Already, there is more interest than even before in
the grueling, 33,000-mile, six-leg race, according to
race spokesperson Sharon Malon. Thirty-two yachting
syndicates from 17 countries have registered so far,
including six from the U.S. This increase in American
entries may have been prompted by the highly
successful 1989/90 WRTWR, which included a U.S.
stopover for the first time in the race's 16-year history.
Fort Lauderdale served as U.S. host port in 1990, and
will hold that distinction again during the next sailing
in 1993/94. The Whitbread, like the Olympics, is held
every four years.
Cleve Jennings, executive director of the North
American stopover, said, "We're confident that when
the Whitbread yachts head to Fort Lauderdale on the
fifth leg of the race, there will be a number of U.S.
crews sailing into Port Everglades. After literally going
around the world, stopping in England, Uruguay,
Australia andNew England, you can bet they're going
to receive a huge welcome from their home port."
Official American entries to date are Ted Allison's
Focus America, Rae Glasgow's Sail USA, Nance
Frank's U.S. Women's Challenge, Richard O'Neill's
American Whitbread Challenge, Gerald Bagwell's
Venture USA Sailing Team, and Bill Biewenga's
Ocean Racing Group USA.
Announcements regarding the Preliminary Notice
of Race and the Whitbread Offshore Rule were made
today at a press conference during the London Boat
Show.
Preliminary Notice of Race
While much information in the Preliminary Notice
of Race remains the same as in past races, a number of
changes were announced. A summary of principal
changes follows.
The race will be run for two level rating classes:
class A for International Offshore Rule (IOR) maxis
and class B for Whitbread Offshore Rule (WOR) 60s.
To compensate for their age, four-year-old maxis will

sail to a rating of 70.5 feet and 8-year-old boats to a
rating of 71.5 feet IOR boats will be rated using the
1992 IOR Mark 3 rule, effectively reducing the
advantage enjoyed by the ketches in the last race.
Boats with certain features, such as schooner rigs
and centerboards, or with an IOR rated length
exceeding 22 meters, will not be permitted to enter.
IOR boats with a range of positive stability that does
not exceed 117 degrees also will not qualify. In the
WOR 60 class, this figure is increased to 125 degrees.
An extensive list of safety equipment was declared
mandatory for all boats. Small changes were made in
advertising rules, including mandatory carriage of the
race logo on all boats and freedom to carry names on
booms and decks. In terms of penalties, minor failures
to comply with the administrative requirements of the
race now will be penalized with pre-paid fines. To
reduce costs, a limit on the number of sails carried at
any one time and permitted throughout was imposed in
class B.
Due to high interest, it is likely that the number of
entries in the 1993/94 race will be limited to about 35.
An entry fee of approximately $48,000 (USD) for
maxis and $36,000 (USD) for WOR 60s will be
required, payable in six equal, monthly installments
starting April 1991.
In the event that a syndicate withdraws, any
monies paid will be retained by the race organizers.
Those syndicates that start the race will have one-sixth
returned to them provided they have met the
requirements in the appropriate time scale. In addition,
they will receive goods and services, including a
standard "C" satcom, position reporting equipment,
and maintenance of the equipment throughout the race.
Whitbread Offshore Rule
The new Whitbread Offshore Rule for yachts with
an overall length typically between 59 and 62 feet was
formulated in response to pressure from competitors in
the small classes in the last WRTWR. It will help
produce safe, fast inexpensive boats, as well as permit
yachts to be designed for competition in races other
than the Whitbread which limit overall length to 60 feet
without compromising their Whitbread performance.
The WOR differs from the IOR rule in many
respects. Maximum draft, beam, displacement and sail
areas are specified.

DIRTY FUEL
SIS THE #1 CAUSE OF DIESEL ENGINE TROUBLE
Impurities in your tanks rob engines of
valuable horsepower and can, at the
worst possible time, leave your vessel

Swimming Hall of Fame hires Olympic dive coach

Recognized as the most successful diving coach in
the world, Dr. Ron O'Brien, six-time Olypmic diving
coach, has been named director of the City of Fort
Lauderdale's Diving Program at the International
Swimming Hall of Fame Pool as was predicted in the
December edition of Waterfront News.
O'Brien, 52, who was coach at the Mission Bay
Aquatic Training Center in Boca Raton since 1985,
signed a three-year contract with Fort Lauderdale
which began immediately on December 4, 1990.
"I started diving at the International Swimming
Hall of Fame Pool in 1957, and I've been associated
with it ever since. In many ways it's always been a
home away from home," said Dr. O'Brien. "The most
impressive aspect of the facility is how its such an
integral part of the community. My team and I are
very much looking forward to this new venture. It's
like coming home."
Known throughout the world for his ability to
produce national and international diving champions,
O'Brien has been named for the 1992 U.S. Olympic
diving coach position. Under his tutelage, his divers
have won more than 150 gold medals in the Olympics,
world championships, Pan American Games and the
U.S. Nationals.

Olympic gold medalists Greg Louganis and Jenni
Chandler, silver medalist Michele Mitchell and bronze
medalist Wendy Wyland are among O'Brien's most
notable students. Some are expected to continue their
training with him in Fort Lauderdale.
"By hiring Dr. O'Brien, our city has matched a
world-class coach with a world-class facility and
team," said City Parks and Recreation Department
Director Tom Tapp. "It's been estimated that he's
generated millions of dollars in media coverage and
competitive events at facilities for which he previously
worked. His addition to our team will further enhance
our status in the aquatic world and it fits in perfectly
with city goals."
Besides coaching a team of Olympic hopefuls at
the Hall of Fame Pool, O'Brien will provide
consultation on the diving facility's renovations and
expand the diving program to include highly-
specialized lessons and summer youth camps.
The Hall of Fame is undergoing a $4.5 million
renovation, including nearly $500,000 : in
improvements to the diving facility.
Prior to his term at Mission Bay, O'Brien served at
Mission Viejo, California for seven years and Ohio
State, his alma mater, for 15 years.

Marine retail spending down 20% in 1990

CHICAGO American outdoorspeople returned
to the waterways in 1990 in equal numbers as in years
past, albeit in fewer new boating products. Across the
U.S. an estimated 73.4 million participants enjoyed
recreational boating during the year using an armada
of just over 16 million boats of all types. New boat
sales during the year totaled 504,000 units, a decline
of 21 percent from 637,500 units produced in 1989.
Recreation industry marketers believe the 1990
statistics point to a fundamental axiom: the nation's
consumers place a significant value on outdoor
activities. Says NMMA president Jeff Napier, "Those
who use boats to fish, cruise, water ski, entertain or
merely as a focus for family fun don't abandon these
activities during periods of economic uncertainty. In
fact, when concerns rise, the owners find extra value
in the getaway nature of boats."
Total retail expenditures on new and used boats
and related products and services in 1990 were $13.7
billion, above 1985's $13.3 billion, but well below
the record $17.9 billion recorded in 1988. All boat
product categories registered declines with large
inboard cruisers contracting the most at 39 percent,
canoes the least at six percent. The most popular boat
in the U.S., with an estimated 227,000 new units sold
last year, continues to be the outboard runabout.
Outfitted with outboard motor and trailer, the package
retails for an average $9,800.
1988 marked the boating industry's all-time peak
production year with 749,020 units sold. Decreased
new boat sales in the two intervening years have been
attributed to declining consumer confidence in the
economy, increased interest rates followed by
restrictive credit growth and the most recent concerns
of increased U.S. involvement in the Persian Gulf.
"The scene is much changed from the 'feel good'
middle 1980s when our industry produced 4 million
new boats and where-as many as 20 percent of these
were being sold to new buyers," Napier adds. "But
the economy and consumers need periods of rest,
especially when they are contemplating the purchase

of consumer durables, including boats. Our customers
began postponing purchases in 1989 so boating
entered the down cycle early."
The scenario has also changed for the benefit of
consumers when comparing the market's current
malaise to the previous recession of 1981-82. With the
consolidation of a number of boat builders under
Fortune 500 company umbrellas, more "package boat"
offerings are available. Originally centering on the
entry-level portion of the market, packages, which
take much of the guesswork out of buying, are now
offered for various on-water activities such as bass or
salmon fishing, pontooning, sailing and
cruising/camping. Fuel price and, more importantly,
availability, were great concerns in the early '80s,
both of which are now better controlled through free
market systems.
Boating's long-term fundamentals remain in place,
however, and suggest a rebound for industry growth.
Demographics point to an enlarging group of 35- to 54
year-olds, the age range at which most consumers buy
their first and move-up boats. Psychographics are also
supportive of the boating lifestyle with heightened
emphasis on family and entertaining, weekend
getaways, and activity-centered free time, which will
drive certain people from couch to shore.
"Shoppers will continue to find significant savings
in many lines of new and used boats during winter
boat shows," Napier says. "Selection of production
boat types, models and power (if applicable) is
excellent. Buyers with good credit who wish to
finance will find boat loan interest rates likely to trend
downward in coming months."
Internationally, American boats and boating
products continue to be in demand. Prospects for
U.S. exports in the years ahead remain strong.
Growing momentum in the Japanese boating market
promises to be a stabilizing element for the Pacific
Rim trade balance. In 1989 (latest figures available)
alone, boat exports to Japan grew 114 percent to
$88.6 million, topping imports of $65.6 million for

Fascinating facts about dolphins

By BRIAN HENRY

The dolphin has an ability to make ultrasonic
noises (they cannot be detected by the human ear) for
navigating and locating food.
*
The dolphin feeds mostly on squid and small fish
which they swallow whole since their 160-200 teeth
are not adapted for chewing.
*
The killer whale, or orca, is not a whale but is the
largest of the dolphins. The orca has the largest brain
of any animal (after the sperm whale). The bulls can be
up to 30-feet long and weigh 9 ton. The dorsal fin may
be 6-feet high.
The Indians of the Pacific Northwest put orca images
on their totem poles, believing orcas never harm
humans and serve as the guardians of the ocean's
bounty.

Boating industry translates new taxes to job loss

By GREG PROTEAU
CHICAGO Few people think of the labor that
goes into their boats when out on the water fishing,
cruising or merely sunning with the family. As with
all consumer products, however, boat building,
retailing and servicing creates jobs as many as an
estimated 600,000 across the U.S. during such peak
production years as 1988. Today, that worker total
has slipped by more than 100,000.
In Florida, an estimated 70,654 people are
employed in all phases of the recreational boating
industry. Boating can mean a start for high school
students as dock hands at marinas, for entrepreneurs
at marine dealerships, and white collar jobs for
salespeople, executives and engineers. Businesses
allied to the industry employ people in publishing,
finance, insurance, chemicals, metals, electronics, etc.
Boating is a cyclical industry with swings from
growth to contraction. As the market cooled in 1989
and 1990, production fell by just over 40 percent in
that period, and jobs were lost. Adding to the problem
are recent actions by the federal government placing an

Legislation launched to repeal
new Federal Boat Use Tax
In a move to give millions of recreational boat
owners a rallying point, Rep. Robert Davis (R-MI)
has introduced legislation, H.R. 534, to repeal the
new federal boat "user fee" tax hastily passed last year
during the last minutes of the Congressional session.
Davis is the ranking minority party member of the
House Merchant Marine Committee which has
jurisdiction over the Coast Guard.
The controversial boat use tax, trumpeted as a
"user tax," would collect an estimated $127 million
and require boaters to pay annual fees ranging from
$25 to $100 per year depending on the size of their
boat. The Coast Guard would not receive any
additional funds from this new use tax, according to
marine industry analysts. Furthermore, these same
Observers interpret the law to state, "the Coast Guard
is under no obligation to provide any service to boaters
'even after they have paid the boat use tax."
Other Congressmen who have cosponsored H.R.
534 include: Reps. Herb Bateman (R-VA), Frank
Pallone (D-NJ), Bill Hughes (D-NJ) and Robin Tallon
(R-SC).

excise tax on large craft, user fees on all boats 16-feet
and longer, and a gasoline tax increase paid by all
motorboat users.
Because boating is a discretionary activity, with
products purchased with a buyer's last-earned income,
and all essential bills for food, housing and so on are
paid, it reacts more excessively to tax increases.
"Studies show a 10 percent tax increase on our
products causes a 20 percent decrease in sales,"
explains National Marine Manufacturers Association
president Jeff Napier. "Add in all the recent
government disincentives to the sale of our products
and it's no surprise to see the negative effects they
have. The bottom line, unfortunately, means even
more of our industry jobs will be lost."

By GREG PROTEAU
The oft-used adage, "nothing is certain except
death and taxes," is particularly applicable to the
payment of sales and use taxes on pleasure boat
purchases. Few disagree that boat buyers would be
delighted to find a legal loophole to avoid the pain of a
tax on retail purchases. And retailers, though charged
with the collection of sales taxes, don't gain
satisfaction in seeing it paid. For marine lenders,
however, proof of payment of the sales tax has
important bearing on whether they can make a specific
boat loan and, when made, the level of security they
have in the actual transaction.
Sales and use taxes are a way of life unlikely to
change in America. While no one is happy to pay these
taxes or to set the prerequisite that they should be
paid it is the customer who benefits most, though all
involved in the transaction (buyer, seller and lender)
gain advantages in the process, suggests the National
Marine Bankers Association.
To gain a certificate of watercraft title or ofher
similar official evidence of a security interest, prodf of
applicable sales or use tax is required. The reverse is
also true: no tax payment, no watercraft title; no
watercraft title, no lien perfection. Without a perfected
lien the loan is unsecured which means the creditor is
unsecured. No loan will be made, predicts the bankers.
On the surface the process appears simple enough.
However, the complete lack of uniformity in sales and

Targeting specific products for new taxes and
fees, in lieu of a broad-based non-discriminatory
income tax, is particularly painful to a small industry
like boating. "As many as 8,000 more workers will
lose their jobs as a result of recent government tax
increases imposed on boats," Napier says. "What's
more disturbing is that any revenue gains will be
offset by lost payroll taxes from these workers thrown
out of jobs."
Napier further explained that members of the
industry will be joining forces with boating
consumers to work for repeal of the new taxes. "Our
motivation is clearly focused: to help insure that
current industry jobs will be preserved and that those
lost may be regained."

use tax regulations from state to state creates confusion
for all involved. This is true not only in the rate of tax
charged, but in the paperwork, collection locations,
and procedures which vary vastly in nature, observed
the trade group in a November statement on payment
of sales tax.
This leads to a recommendation as simple as the
tax laws are complex. To assure uncompromised lien
status, lenders are recommended to take the proactive
approach to insure that the consumer, dealer and
institution personnel are submitting proper data to
appropriate titling or recording agencies on a timely
basis. It is critical that loan officers have a working
knowledge of titling laws and procedures (for boats,
outboard motors and trailers) in states where loans are
actively made as well as all states in which borrowers
reside. The end benefit will reflect positively on the
lender's level of security and the borrower's
ownership peace of mind, concluded the National
Marine Bankers Association.

Two South Florida pioneers honored

By MARIA PIERSON
Ivy Stranahan and Seminole Indian Annie Tommie
were recently honored by the Fort Lauderdale
Historical Society for their contributions to South
Florida during the Historic Walkway dedication that
coincided with Broward County's 75th birthday
celebration.
Each year since 1986, the Fort Lauderdale
Historical Society has honored South Florida pioneers
and presented a bronze plaque for them in the Historic
Walkway at the north entrance to the Broward County
main library, just north of New River in downtown
Fort Lauderdale. That first presentation in 1986 was a
75th birthday gift from the Fort Lauderdale Historical
Society to the City of Fort Lauderdale.
Stranahan and Tommie are the first women to be
honored as part of the Historic Walkway. Billy
Cypress of the Ah Tha Thi Ki Museum and Steven
Bowers, representing the Seminole Tribe of Florida,
accepted the plaque in Tommie's memory.
Annie Tommie, the daughter of Johnny Jumper,
was a medicine woman for the local Indians, an
occupation that was based on her wisdom and
leadership abilities. White residents of the recently
formed town of Fort Lauderdale considered her one of
the local Indian authorities. In 1926, Tommie was
instrumental in getting local Seminoles to move to the
newly-created reservation west of Dania, thus
"legitimatizing" federally-created Indian land in the
eyes of the Seminoles.
Tommie's son Tony was the first Seminole to
attend public school and many of her children also
assumed leadership positions within the tribe. Until
her death in 1946, Tommie was acknowledged as the
matriarch of the Seminoles in this area.
Ivy Julia Cromartie was selected as the first teacher
in Fort Lauderdale in 1899. The following year she
married Frank Stranahan, the postmaster and owner of
the waterfront trading post. She served as president of
the "Friends of the Seminoles" and lobbied at the state
and federal levels on behalf of Indian concerns.
As an active member of the community, Ivy helped
establish the Woman's Club, the library, local chapters
of the Red Cross and the Audubon Society, the
Garden Club and the Historical Society, among others.
She championed causes such as woman's
suffrage, temperance, wildlife and environmental
conservation, housing and health care for the poor, and
efficient government. Ivy is hailed as the "first lady of
Fort Lauderdale."

Historian to lead

boat tour in Broward
Dr. Paul George will lead two tours for the

scheduled on the New River Intracoastal Waterway
in Fort Lauderdale. Highlights of the tour include the
Bahia Mar, site of an army fort in the second Seminole
War, the Finger Islands with elaborate Spanish-style
homes, Tarpon Bend, the Stranahan House and the
new River Walk. Dr. George will also discuss the
airstrip, that existed around 1920, south of the east
approach to the Las Olas Bridge in what is now the
Idlewilde neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. George
will examine such waterfront characters as Shirttail
Charlies, D. C. Alexander and Frankly Lewis. Lewis
settled in the New River area in the 1750's.
-Cost is $20 per person for museum members and
$25 for non-members. Payment is required two
weeks in advance in order to secure a reservation.
Dr. George, better known as the "stand-up
historian" heads south next for a walking tour of the
Brickell South Side area in Miami. Historic sites on
this tour indude Simpson Park, Fort Brickell,
Wainwright Park, Firehouse Four restaurant, and of
course, Tobacco Road (the oldest drinking
establishment in Miami). A luncheon will be served.
Cost is $10 per person for members and $13 for non-
members. Walkers should meet at Brickell Park (SE
5th Avenue next to the Sheraton Hotel).
