Navigating the Show

As CEO of the Rhode Island

Marine Trades As-sociation (RIMTA), I

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

years, so here are tips on navigating. First, make sure you visit our Show Pavilion. Often. It’s a new hub of activ-ity, with live sea-to-table chef demon-strations, visits from stars of the boat-ing world, and great activities—such as a chance to operate a bridge simulator or surf on dry land. (To figure out how that’s possible, go check it out!) To learn about what’s taking place at the Pavilion, turn to page 7 and see our Show High-lights, along with our Seminars & Special Events Calendar (page 14). Another new area of the show is the H20 Zone. It’s the go-to center for any-one interested in getting out on the water in small watercraft. The Zone has boats, experts, learning opportunities, and plenty of inspiration. It’s a great place if you want to help your child get out on the water, or if you have dreamed of set-ting off on a small boat of your very own. Free seminars on a wide range of top-ics—from how to use the latest naviga-tion apps to how to catch more fish—are included in your ticket price. The ever-popular Captain Jack Sprengel is back with a team of experts to run our Sport Fishing Series. And John Martino of the Annapolis School of Seamanship has also put together a team of experts to lead sessions on Navigation & Seaman-ship. Turn to page 14 to choose your ses-sions. The show would not be complete without visits from Rhode Island celebri-

ties—and let me tell you, we have a great treat in store for you. On Friday after-noon Newporter Rome Kirby, a mem-ber of the winning America’s Cup crew Oracle Team USA, will be here! If there is sailing royalty, Rome is it. His father Jerry Kirby is a veteran Amer-ica’s Cup racer. From an early age, Rome demonstrated the focus, talent, and heart to make it in the big leagues, and we have him and his crew to thank for keeping the America’s Cup in America. Join us on Friday at 5 pm at the Show Pavilion to help us honor Rome with the RIMTA Boater of the Year Award. I could go on and on. (Can you tell I am a little enthusiastic about this boat show?) But I’d like to end by saying thank you to those who have made this event happen. Thank you to our exhibitors. RIMTA is a new owner of this show, and it would have been easy to stay on the sidelines. But our exhibitors trusted us to produce a top-notch show and signed on in full force, including many new exhibitors as well as sailing companies returning to the show after a long absence. I’d like to thank our event sponsors, including Kellogg Marine Supply, a wholesale supplier of boating products that has been in business since 1938; Starkweather & Shepley Insurance Brokerage and their excellent team of marine experts who serve our indus-try so well; Tasca Chrysler Dodge Jeep

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

FAQs: Who, What, When, Where

Use This Show For All It's WorthSome nonpartisan wisdom on getting the most out of a day at the Providence Boat ShowBy Zach Harvey

In the interest of full disclosure, I admit that my writing career has landed me at

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

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

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

Obvious as it sounds, the act of stepping onto a boat will instantly generate—and answer—100 questions that could never occur to you after watching 300 virtual walkthroughs of the same vessel. It’s not a sea trial (the dealership does that part best), but you might be surprised how many boats you’ll DQ or fall for, and more importantly, how well the simple act of boarding the boat can help you define the nuts-and-bolts of your preferences. Side-by-side scrutiny is invaluable. A boat is a complex network of interde-pendent mechanical and electronic systems that will, if all goes well, drop right into the worst, most hostile environment for ma-chinery of any kind—the open ocean. You have to keep that last bit in perspective: The fact that time and tide will adversely affect the boat’s condition. Accept that at some point something is going to break at which time you’ll will need to put your boat in trustworthy hands for repair. So pick up a SeaTow membership and get on with finding folks you can trust when you need them. Take advantage of the experience at the show. Seasoned hands in every aisle can help you make sense of the dizzying array of choices—help you stretch your buck a long way if you let them, and care for you and your new purchase for years to come.

Boats by Brand

Zim Sailing is bringing the Blue Dragon Pram to the boat show, all the way from Holland. This simple dinghy with a polyethylene hull is durable, unsinkable, self-bailing—and a perfect training boat for beginner sailors.

If you're curious to learn what Robalo has been up to, head to the Don's Marine display, where you’ll find an entire fleet of Robalos, including the new R222, the largest center console in the lineup. Come see what this exciting manufactur-er has in store for boaters this season.

The J/70—a launchable, one-design sportboat—was put through its paces by a tough panel of judges to take top honors as the Sailing World 2013 Boat of the Year. But the proof is simply how the boat has sold: the J/70 fleet has virtually blossomed overnight.

The Bassett family of Louis Marine has been in the boating business for gen-erations—and they know boats that will make a splash. Visit them to see two Jean-neau powerboats that are new to North America: the Cap Camarat 8.5 CC (pictured here) and the Merry Fisher 855.


You may be one of the lucky ones. You and your boat may already live inside

the borders of the Ocean State. You have access to stunning coastline; your boat is serviced by Rhode Island’s experienced marine-trades professionals; and to top it off, you’re residing in a state with a no-sales-tax policy on boats and boating services. But if you’re not already lucky enough to have a Rhode Island address for your boat, read on. Approximately half of the 44,000 regis-tered boaters in Rhode Island live in other states. These individuals understand—just like the locals do—why the Ocean State is the best place to spend your on-the-water hours. So if you are considering joining them, visiting the Providence Boat Show is a perfect first step.

TAILORMADE FOR BOATINGRhode Island is a state that is tailor-made for the boating industry, with its small geographic shape and 400 miles of coast-line, a high concentration of marine-in-dustry companies, strong workforce de-velopment programs to ensure industry excellence, and a tax-free policy on boats that make Rhode Island the envy of its neighboring states. “When you look at the marine industry on a global scale, there are few places on Earth that have such a dense concentra-tion of high-quality, diverse marine com-panies,” says Wendy Mackie, CEO of the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association (RIMTA), the new owners of the Provi-dence Boat Show. And when it comes to being a boat-ing mecca, many who know the Rhode Island coast refer to the state as the “Brit-ish Virgin Islands of the North.” Sailors well know the BVI chain—with its wealth of good anchorages, excellent cruising grounds, and charter companies and ser-vice providers that dot nearly every island. Head about 1400 nautical miles north-northwest and you’ll find another mecca in Rhode Island. Even if you only know Newport and Block Island, you may be surprised to learn that the Ocean State has 300 harbors and true diversity—from se-

rene anchorages, to historic New England towns and villages, to bustling city water-fronts. But don’t take our word for it. Use the boat show as a prime place to do your homework.

BUILD YOUR LOCAL KNOWLEDGEMarinas, service providers, boat brokers and manufacturers are all coming to the Providence Boat Show—so your research trip to the show is a one-stop affair. Don’s Marine, Brewer Yacht Yards, Co-nanicut Marine Services in Jamestown, Bristol Marine, Pirate Cove Marine on the Sakonnet River, Striper Marina, and Ocean House Marina on Ninigret Pond are just some of the yards and marinas heading to the show. If being green is of utmost important to you, visit the folks at Conanicut Marine and ask about their new solar photovoltaic system. The system—which was unveiled this fall—not only provides 100% solar power to the 10-acre yard; it also provides power to National Grid under the Rhode Island Distributed Generation Program, thereby saving a significant amount of fossil fuel over the years to come and mak-ing Conanicut Marine the largest renew-able-energy facility to be developed in the state’s marine trades to date. Talking to local boat brokers with strong local knowledge is another great way to find out about their inventory and the services and facilities they would rec-ommend if you bought a boat through them. Coming to the boat show are local brokers Latitude Yacht Brokerage, with of-fices in Newport, and Fleet Yacht Sales in Bristol. And don’t miss the Cruising Rhode Is-land seminar on Saturday afternoon with Captain Frank “Skip” Litterer of Boat-wise Marine Training. Captain Skip will not only give you tips on cruise planning, but he will also give you inside knowledge about the Ocean State coast.

TESTING THE WATERSIf you are just looking to test the waters, consider a fractional ownership arrange-ment, such as those offered by Freedom Boat Club and Narragansett Sailing. By joining Freedom Boat Club, with multiple locations in Rhode Island, you gain access to their fleet of sail and powerboats—so you get the joy of owning a boat, without doing the maintenance and paying all the bills. Narragansett Sailing also offers in-struction and charters, which are both great ways to spend more time in Rhode

Island waters. Rhode Island also has two of the nation’s leading community-boating centers, which offer affordable access to the water, including the Com-munity Boating Center of Providence and Sail Newport.

NO SALES TAX ON BOATSRhode Island does not charge a sales tax on boats that are purchased and registered in the state, and the no-sales-tax also ap-plies to boating services, such as refits, re-pairs, storage, mooring and berthing. A lot more people in the nation got to know about the statewide policy when the story about Senator John Kerry berthing his 76-foot sloop in Rhode Island and sav-ing roughly $500,000 in state taxes broke in the national news in 2010. But, as Wen-dy Mackie points out, this no-tax policy is not designed to benefit wealthy yacht owners. The policy helps support the boating industry in Rhode Island—an industry that helps drive the state economy and creates a large number of jobs for Rhode Islanders. The latest quantitative tally of the marine industry in the state sized the Rhode Island boating business as paying

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

VISIT CENTER STAGEThis year the Providence Boat Show has produced a center stage—and it’s lo-cated at our new Show Pavilion. It’s the hub of the show and the place to catch star personalities and special events. See how the region’s leading chefs prepare their catch; meet the Rhode Island au-thor who captured a harrowing tale of survival at sea; listen to the story of how a famous Tall Ship was built. The Show Pavilion is also the place to find fun, interactive events for all ages. Try your hand at a bridge simulator and test your boat-handling skills in a variety of chal-lenging circumstances and weather con-ditions. How about surfing on dry land? Come to the Pavilion to take a lesson on a SURFSET board, a total-body surf trainer designed to simulate the physi-cal demands of surfing, with instructors from FloorTime Studios. You can also hone your seamanship skills in a semi-nar on line handling; impress your crew by mastering the art of lassoing a piling from 20 feet away. Check the Seminars & Special Events Calendar (turn to page 14) to find out what’s taking place at the Pavilion, and read on for more details about individual events.

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

We hope Green will have a chance to ask Rome what it was like to be a part of the most amazing turnaround in sport-ing history, when Oracle Team USA came back from what seemed to be in-surmountable odds to win the Ameri-ca’s Cup. And we hope he’ll ask Rome, what’s next? Because really, we all want to know.

Rome Kirby is from a sailing family—and not just the kind that wins weekend races. His father Jerry is a veteran of six America’s Cup campaigns. Rome saw what it was like to sail at a grand-prix level most of his life, and he decided ear-ly on that being a sailor was the life for him. As reported in a recent New York Times article by Christopher Clary, Jerry Kirby used to tell his son: “Make sure you get your education; have a Plan B.” And his son would tell him, “Dad, I have a Plan B. It’s Plan A.” And we all know how that turned out. Come to the show on Friday to meet a Rhode Islander who has brought a bit of the America’s Cup’s shimmer back to Newport. Rome will also be at the show on Saturday, from 12 noon to 2 pm, at the H20 Zone and the “Boats Work for Rhode Island” activity areas. And if you have young sailors in tow, make sure you bring them along. For after meeting Rome, how could they not be inspired to reach for their dreams too?

FRIDAY NIGHT KICK-OFF Boat shows are all about comparison shopping for boats and gear, gathering information on products, talking to ex-perts, and making a gameplan for the season ahead. Right? Well, we all know that’s only part of the story. A good boat show is all that, but it’s also about get-ting some downtime by catching up with friends and making new ones. This year we’ve built that social hour (or two) right into the show schedule.

At 6 pm on Friday night, several ex-hibitors will start the celebration by hosting some tailgating at their booths. Then at 7 pm, the First Annual Provi-dence Boat Show Kick-Off Party will begin. The Kick-Off Party runs until 9 pm and it will be a Who’s Who event. Amer-ica’s Cup racer Rome Kirby will join us. And if you enjoyed the commentary at the America’s Cup by match-racing guru Andy Green, then you’ll have a chance to meet him in person. Matt Light of New England Patriots fame will also send a video message to help kick off a successful show and a great Super Bowl weekend. You might ask, what’s the con-nection between an NFL star and boat-ing? Well, it all has to do with vodka… KEEL Vodka is a sponsor of the Kick-Off Party. The company was founded by native Rhode Islanders Bill Dessel and Tom McGowan, who grew up around boats. When they founded KEEL Vod-ka, they teamed up with good friend and three-time Super Bowl winner Light to establish a company that is a tried-and-true Ocean State brand and not some-thing cooked up by a marketing team sitting on the 52nd floor of a Manhat-tan office building. Ciders of Spain and

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

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

attraction are the fishing seminars orga-nized by Captain Jack Sprengel of East Coast Charters and his crew of experts. Captain Jack is indeed back, but this time he has outdone himself with a new series of seminars and some special sea-to-table chef demonstrations that you won’t want to miss. From how to catch more fish, to a new perspective on tautog fishing, to light tackle kayak fishing, it’s all here—and then some. Captain Jack has brought back some of last year’s favorite speakers who are presenting on new popular sub-jects. But he has also reached out to very specialized and less commercialized guest speakers. “If you don’t recognize some names on the line up, it’s because they spend more time avoiding the spot-light rather than calling attention to what they are doing,” says Captain Jack. “These guys are some of the best at what they do—and they come with my per-sonal seal of approval.” Captain Jack was also able to enlist New England fishing Icon Dave Picker-ing with a brand-new presentation for this year’s show. “With over 50 years of New England sport fishing under his belt, I have never personally had a conversation with Dave where I haven’t learned something new,” says Captain Jack.

To “ice the whole proverbial cake,” as Captain Jack says, one of the boat show’s culinary presentations has been elevated to a new level. On Saturday and Sunday, Captain Louis J. Defusco and Chef Phyllis Affra of Blaze Restaurant in Providence will do a special two-part demonstration. Using two fresh, wild-caught tuna, Captain Lou will demon-strate the proper way to cut and pro-cess a whole fresh tuna, and Chef Affra will prepare this fish using the latest in American Fusion culinary technique. This demo joins more sea-to-table chef demonstrations that take place through-out the boat show at the Show Pavilion. As an added bonus, free giveaways for seminar goers will be even better than before—with items from Stormr (an elite fishing outfitter here at the show and what Captain Jack considers some of the best outerwear available on the planet today), The Salt Water Edge, Carlson Offshore Lures, Ronz Lures, Point Jude Lures, Gibbs Lures, Jay Jigs Gaffs, and more! For more specifics on topics and times, turn to the Seminars & Special Events Calendar (page 14).

your harbor, zipping around and having a blast. And maybe you’ve thought, I’d like to try that. Or, I’d like to give my kids a chance to have fun like that. The boat show’s first-ever H20 Zone is de-signed for you. It’s where the small-boat sailors hang—whether they are 11-year-old kings of the pram-racing circuit or racers with All-American titles—and there is an open-door policy for anyone and everyone with an interest in small boats to stop by and meet the experts and find out what small boat is tailor-made for you. The Zone is the brainchild of Rhode Island’s leading small-boat companies Zim Sailing and LaserPer-formance, community-boating organi-zations Sail Newport and the Commu-nity Boating Center of Providence, and

The Boat Locker. It is designed to be the go-to area of the show for those who want to get out on the water and have fun in small boats—whatever your age, your boating style, or your ability level is. Head to the Zone to see boats, meet experts, learn, and watch video of water-craft in action. You’ll see a wide range of boats—from a simple sailing pram called the Blue Dragon; to a Sunfish; to a Laser, the type of singlehanded din-ghy Olympians have medaled in; to the

blazing-fast Moth, the single-handed hydrofoil considered by many to be the quickest dinghy on the planet. The Zone is a great place to help young boaters get their start in the sport; it’s also a great place where adults can plan their first steps into a small boat, or rev up their game by talking to experts. The great-est thing about the H20 Zone is that you

can discover a path to boating for any pocketbook—whether you are ready to write out a check for a new dinghy, or you want to invest in some quality time at a local community boating center for no more than what it costs for a good dinner out for two. Plan to be inspired!

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

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

GREAT GIVEAWAYSThe Providence Boat Show has some great giveaways. For starters, how about three days in the Caribbean sun of An-tigua at Sugar Ridge, a luxury boutique resort nestled into a hillside of lush foliage overlooking Jolly Bay? Sugar Ridge has stunning vistas of palm-lined beaches and the Caribbean Sea and was the winner of TripAdvisor’s 2013 Ex-cellence Award and TripAdvisor’s 2012 Traveler's Choice Award. This package has a value of more than $1,300, so head over to the Sugar Ridge booth, located in the Show Pavilion area, and sign up for a chance to win. While you are at the Show Pavilion, you can also enter to win one of three footballs signed by Matt Light of New England Patriots fame. One football will be given away each day of the show. And if you come to our Friday night Kick-Off Party, you may be one of the lucky winners of a gift package from Ciders of Spain. Attend one of our Sport Fishing Sem-inars and you’ll be eligible for giveaways of great gear personally selected by Cap-tain Jack Sprengel. On Sunday after-noon, head to the Show Pavilion to learn about the building of Rhode Island’s

Tall Ship Oliver Hazard Perry; a one-day trainee position aboard this historic vessel will be awarded to a lucky at-tendee (see more on page 11). And don’t forget to keep your eyes out for the Wild Things…that is, representatives of Wild Things high-end, technical apparel, who will be roving the show on Saturday and Sunday and giving away $1,500 worth of their products that mountain climbers, sailors and outdoorsmen and –women rave about.

THE VOLVO OCEAN RACE In May 2015, Newport will catch Volvo Ocean Race fever when a fleet of 65-foot ocean racers make their way to Newport as their only U.S. stopover on this in-tense, round-the-world marathon. Once the fleet arrives, the city will be teem-ing with the world’s top offshore racers,

their shore crews, race fans, and a fleet of ocean greyhounds that are built to a knifepoint balance—strong enough to take the extreme and punishing condi-tions of the most desolate patches of the ocean, yet light enough to speed around the globe at a record-setting pace. Providence Boat Show attendees will have a rare opportunity to get close to this event, to meet the team managing the U.S. stopover, see incredible foot-age, and even find out ways to become involved with what is destined to be an amazing happening in Newport. After the great success of the America’s Cup World Series in 2012 under the direc-tion of Sail Newport, it’s clear that this Rhode Island City by the Sea knows how to roll out a red carpet! The 2014/15 Volvo Ocean Race will compete in a fleet of brand-new Volvo Ocean 65s, and Race CEO Knut Frost-ad—a Norwegian yachtsman who has

done the race four times—knows this run around the world will be “an im-mense challenge" for competitors. The race will start in October 2014 in Alicante, Spain, and finish in June 2015 in Gothenburg, the Swedish home of Volvo. During the race, the fleet will sail a route that threads from Spain to Cape Town, South Africa; to Abu Dhabi; to Sanya, China; then on to Auckland, New Zealand, and Itajai, Brazil. From Brazil, the fleet heads for its only U.S. stopover in Newport before doing their last trans-oceanic passage across the At-lantic to Lisbon (Portugal) and Lorient (France) before a final run around the British Isles to the finish line in Sweden.

SHOP BOATS, SHOP CAREERSOne of the key elements that makes Rhode Island a global leader in the ma-rine trades is its well-trained workforce. The Ocean State is fortunate to have many individuals with both the skills and the passion to work around boats. At the Providence Boat Show you’ll get a better idea of just how these individuals are trained and what opportunities exist if you too are someone with a desire to make a career out of boating. Stop by the and see the “Boats Work

for Rhode Island” career activity areas to meet High School boat-builders and talk to the trade schools that train many of Rhode Island’s finest craftsmen. The “Boats Work for Rhode Island” areas are sponsored by Jamestown Distributors. Watch students from marine-trades programs at Chariho Career & Techni-cal Center and Warwick Area Career & Technical Center do a canoe-building project during the show. Students from Tiverton High School will also be at the show to run a regatta with some new “pipe boats” that students have designed and built. The New England Institute of Tech-nology and marine trades and technol-ogy school IYRS will also be at the show for those who are interested in learning more about their programs. IYRS and Tiverton High School will both bring their 3D printers, and they will use their participation at the show together to have some fun with the show’s first-ever 3D Printoff! Stop by and learn more about marine careers and training.

AN INCREDIBLE SEA TALEWhen admiralty lawyer John Fulweiler

IYRS Students at Work

http://www.sugarridgeantigua.com


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

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

BUILDING R.I.’S TALL SHIPCome to the Show Pavilion on Sunday

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

owners.

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

Show organizers teamed up with Hunt’s Photo & Video—the largest spe-cialty retailer of photo, video, and digi-tal imaging products in New England—to host what we hope will be a perennial feature of the show. Contenders were asked to submit images that express a unique view of a boat or water sport in relationship to its surroundings, and there will be three category winners. A Voters’ Choice award has already been determined through online voting, and the lucky winner was awarded with

an Olympus Tough TG-620 waterproof camera. Hunt’s experts will determine the Judges’ Choice, and the top 14 imag-es will be displayed at Hunt’s gallery in Massachusetts. The third category is the Best in Show award. Help us select this category winner by voting at the Show Pavilion the winner will be announced at show’s end and awarded with a Pen-tax WG-3 waterproof camera. Hope-fully the accompanying coastal scene by the world-renowned Rhode Island pho-tographer Billy Black will inspire you to like our Facebook page and join us next year!

Rhode Island is called the Ocean State, a perfect place for a show celebrat-

ing all things aquatic. But more than our scenic coastline and pristine beaches and waterways, Rhode Island is known for its arts and cultural offerings, family-friend-ly fun, and some of the best dining in the nation. The Rhode Island Convention Cen-ter (RICC) is conveniently located in the heart of Providence mere steps away from award-winning restaurants, enticing en-tertainment options, and so much more. The RICC is connected via skybridge to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, the area’s premier multi-use entertainment events arena. It is host to various sporting events, major concerts, family shows, and trade shows. During the Providence Boat Show, experience “The Dunk” at its rip-roaring best with the 2014 Nuclear Cowboyz Free-style Motocross tour, which is in town on Friday and Saturday nights. At its other end, the RICC is attached to the 564-room Omni Providence (1 West Exchange Street), and Providence

Place (1 Providence Place), a downtown mall filled with big-name retailers, as well as smaller shops, food and drink options and entertainment. For attendees seeking a little culture with their commerce, you have come to the right place. With a cutting-edge culi-nary scene and a thriving arts community, Providence has earned the apt nickname, the Creative Capital. And for some brain power to go along with the horsepower, the city is also known as an epicenter of

education. Providence is home to eight college and university campuses, including Ivy League Brown University and world-re-nowned art school Rhode Island School of Design. Providence’s arts and cultural offerings are rich and varied and those seeking artistic inspiration will want to explore the RISD Museum (20 North Main Street) at the Rhode Island School of De-sign. The museum houses more

than 91,000 works of art, ranging from

Greek sculpture and French Impressionist paintings to contemporary multimedia art. There are a number of en-ticing attractions on display throughout the duration of the boat show, including an exhibit of Andy Warhol pho-tographs. Additionally, Providence is also home to Johnson &

Wales University, a leading culinary educator. Students and alumni can be found working in many of the city’s best restaurants, which elevates the quality of Providence’s dining experience. The city’s restaurants offer something for ev-ery taste, serving a global array of cuisines and cooking styles. Providence’s chefs are known for employing innovative tech-niques, while at the same time embrac-ing the culinary traditions of the varied cultures that immigrated to the area over

Seminar DescriptionsFRIDAY, JANUARY 31

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

Crudo, Chef John Kolesar tells us, is the Mediterranean answer to

Sashimi. But hold the wasabi and soy sauce, and delve into his mouth-water-ing preparation using an orange citrus “vinaigrette,” cherry tomatoes, piquillo peppers and Kalamata olives—typical Italian flavors! Growing up in an Italian household on the East Coast, Chef John knows by instinct as well as education and experi-ence what ingredients pair well to create a traditional coastal Crudo. Braised baby fennel, radishes and pickled butternut squash ribbons round out his beautifully composed dish.

“Some fishermen don’t have galleys on their boats, so a raw dish is a great way to go,” says Chef John, Executive Chef of the famous Ocean House Resort in Watch Hill. Hand-sliced thinly and served with pickled winter vegetables, Chef John’s Fluke Crudo is sure to draw a crowd. Fluke, as we detailed in our July issue last year, is a delicious white fish and plen-tiful in our Rhode Island waters year-round. From the large “doormats” easily found in the summer to the smaller dab available now, it is a light fish enjoyed with ingredients that don’t overpower it. “Just make sure all the flavors blend

together well,” says Chef John. Janice McEachen, Ocean House’s Food Forager, agrees. She’s responsible for procuring the fresh, local and sea-sonal ingredients served in Chef John’s dishes. And she is available to guests as well, leading culinary classes as an activ-ity at the resort as well as taking them on organized trips to the fishing docks, local farms and hot houses. When asked if she’s ever foraged the forests her-self for fresh herbs or wild greens, she laughs and answers, “Sure, it’s fun! But the USDA certainly wouldn’t allow us to serve that to our guests.” Indeed not...all of the restaurants at

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

- 1 cup Fresh Orange Juice- 1 Tbsp Kalamata Olive Crumb*- 6 Cherry Tomatoes halved- 2 Tbsp Piquillo Pepper Puree**

*Method of Preparation for Kalamata Olive Crumb: Dehydrate Kalamata Olives for 24 hours, chop with large knife until turns into a crumb.

**Method of Preparation for Piquillo Pepper Puree: Blend Piquillo Pep-pers in a blender with Salt, Pepper and Extra Virgin Olive Oil until smooth.

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

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

Attention all Anglers...if you haven’t already heard, be sure to get to the Providence Boat Show, Janu-ary 31 – February 2 at the Rhode island Convention Center when Chef John Kolesar will make and serve his own recipe for Fluke Cru-do. And don’t be late...first Chef John will be demonstrating how to break down the fish into filets be-fore making and serving his Fluke Crudo...only while supplies last so mark your calendars and program your iphones: 4pm on Friday and 12pm on Saturday!

the centuries. The city continually garners numerous accolades for its food culture, including Travel + Leisure readers recent-ly voting Providence one of the top dining destinations in the United States. There are some great restaurants lo-cated just steps away from the RICC. For those looking for a quick bite at a low price, the food and ambience at Murphy’s Deli (100 Fountain Street) is a great bet. They pack their sandwiches high and serve their drinks cold, making this large Irish pub a local favorite. Beer lovers fol-low their taste buds to Trinity Brewhouse (186 Fountain Street). This local land-mark and award-winning microbrewery has been pleasing discerning palates since 1995. Union Station Brewery (36 Ex-change Terrace) is another long-standing brewery that offers a variety of styles in a casual atmosphere, with loads of exposed brick and beams. The name is a nod to the old train station that formerly occupied the spot. Providence was recently named the top city in the country for both pizza and burgers by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. Harry’s Burger Bar (121 North Main Street) specializes in sliders and oth-er tasty apps while Providence Coal Fired Pizza (385 Westminster Street) promises delicious pizza and crispy chicken wings. Sports fans who want to catch the big game can score big in Providence. With great food and drink options, the city is a real “home field advantage” for a great game-watching experience. Amici Sports Bar & Grille (242 Atwells Avenue) on Fed-

eral Hill offers a plentiful supply of pizzas, creative plates, and even sushi, making it a fun place to take in the game in the city’s Little Italy. Located directly next to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center is Shula’s 347 Grill (21 Atwells Avenue), home to a mul-titude of high-definition televisions and, of course, great steak. Speaking of steakhouses, Providence is home to many. The first location of The Capital Grille (1 Union Station) opened its doors in downtown Providence in 1990 and its quality has not diminished one bit. The restaurant still exudes class, comfort and top-notch cuisine. Other great steakhouses in downtown Provi-dence include Ruth’s Chris Prime Steak House (10 Memorial Boulevard), Flem-ing’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar (1 West Exchange Street), Providence Prime (279 Atwells Avenue) and 10 Prime Steak & Sushi (55 Pine Street). Bundle up and slap on some skates at The Providence Rink at the Bank of America City Center (2 Kennedy Plaza). This well-loved skating plaza in down-town Providence is twice the size of New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza, so there’s plenty of room to either practice your moves or get your feet under you. Rates are reasonable (adults $6, children $3, skate rental $4) and the view of the Provi-dence skyline is equally enjoyable. A great treat for the whole family. Founded in 1636, the city of Providence is a wealth of history. Take a stroll through the Rhode Island State House (82 Smith Street) and its newly opened charter museum, commemorating the original charter that gave the state its right to self-govern 350 years ago. The Roger Wil-liams National Memorial (284 N. Main Street) charts the progress of the city’s founding and endless evolu-tion ever since. Beautiful Ben-efit Street is nearby, which features a trea-sure trove of well-preserved architecture. Art lov-ers and ar-ch itec t u r a l

enthusiasts alike applaud the gorgeous Providence Performing Arts Center (220 Weybosset Street). Home to touring Broadway productions, live music con-certs and more, this former movie house dates back to 1928. Trinity Repertory Company (201 Washington Street) is a Tony Award-win-ning outfit that dates back to the 1960s.The company puts on seven wonderful shows a season, including the annual fa-vorite “A Christmas Carol.” From January 30 to March 2, see the Rhode Island pre-mier of “Intimate Apparel.” Veterans Memorial Auditorium (1 Avenue of the Arts), originally erected in the 1920s, is regionally renowned for its acoustics and features new audience-friendly renovations. The theater is the home stage for the Rhode Island Phil-harmonic, local high school graduations and other live performances. On Friday, January 31, legendary tap-dancer Savion Glover graces the stage. Nearby Warwick, Rhode Island offers miles of scenic coastline, as well as ad-ditional hotels, restaurants and shopping venues. T.F. Green Airport is a quick 10-minute drive from downtown Provi-dence and was recently named the 4th best airport in the country by Travel + Leisure readers. T.F. Green’s eco-friendly InterLink hub provides passengers with an array of transportation choices. Conve-niently housing a rental car facility, public transportation options, and rail service to Providence, Boston and beyond, the In-terLink offers travelers ease, affordability and accessibility. Warwick is also home to bountiful shopping options ranging from large stores to specialty shops. Historic Newport, located just 45 min-utes from downtown Providence, is a love-ly place to visit any time of year. The “City by the Sea” is home to gorgeous mansions

from the Gilded Age, a charming seaside setting and enticing at-tractions. Step back in time, or seemingly into the pages of “The Great Gatsby” or “Downton Ab-bey,” with these well-preserved

architectural treasures. See how the na-tion’s wealthy lived amid the splendor of these sumptuous “summer cottages.” An-other notable attraction is the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol, a museum dedicated to yachting and the America’s Cup. And tennis fans will “love” a visit to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, located on beautiful Bellevue Avenue. Boaters are surely familiar with the beauty of Block Island. Located 13 miles south off the coast of Rhode Island (and 14 miles off the coast of Montauk Point, Long Island), Block Island is a charming destination throughout the year. This time of year, visitors appreciate the seren-ity and quiet of an island at rest. As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, the Blackstone Valley has emerged from its blue-collar past to be-come a vibrant multicultural destina-tion. Visit Slater Mill, a museum complex dedicated to telling the story of Samuel Slater and how he helped spur the nation’s Industrial Revolution. Also in Pawtucket is the acclaimed Sandra Feinstein Gamm Theatre. This nonprofit theater consis-tently turns out provocative and enter-taining live theater and this year’s sched-ule is no exception. Visitors in January and February can grab a seat at “The Big Table,” featuring a simple set with eight actors at one table. Delicious morsels and lessons like their shared DNA, humanity and humor spill out to a delighted crowd. Advance reservations (that’d be tickets) are recommended.
