Marco Yacht Club Workin Out The Kinks.

A new obstacle may be rocking the boat yet again for the Marco Island Yacht Club’s request to create two expansive docking facilities on the shore of the Marco River.

The Marco Island Marina Association, a partner in the plan, may be reconsidering its role, which provides both the additional shoreline and extra parking spaces necessary for the docks’ approval.

MIMA President Carl Westman said the marina wants more time to assess its role in the deal.

“We feel that there is definitely more negotiation that needs to happen before we commit to this,” Westman said.

With the plans delayed for review by the board until January, Westman said he feels that is enough time to clear up any concerns. He declined to comment on the particulars of MIMA’s reservations.

The Planning Board was set to consider the request for a third time Oct. 5, but received a request to continue the item until the board’s next meeting Oct. 19. The board instead slated the item for the first meeting of 2008.

Yacht Club Vice Chair Rudi Landwaard said the continuance was requested because the club “needed some more time to figure out a few things.”

However, Landwaard said, nothing has changed from the previous agreement with MIMA, and that both entities are moving forward as planned. One requirement requested by the Planning Board was a joint agreement signed by both MIMA and the Yacht Club.

“We have a joint agreement that was signed in 2004,” Landwaard said Monday. “That’s how we’ve always gone forward.”

The design, as presented previously to the Planning Board, states that the Yacht Club will own 30 of the 40 slips, and MIMA will own the remainder. Plans have since been scaled back to 39 slips to accommodate fears from the board and city staff that the docks protrude too far into the waterway.

The original design called for the longer L-shaped dock to extend 420 feet into the river, with a shorter T-shaped dock fitting inside that.

Since they were first presented in August, the docks — now limited to 345 feet at their longest — have been shuttling back and forth between the Marco Island Planning Board and the drawing board.

Current city code dictates that docks longer than 20 feet need approval from the planning board, though the docks appear to satisfy other regulations including how much of the waterway they can take up, the length of shoreline needed and the necessary parking.

However, the latter two stipulations are subject to MIMA remaining a partner in the proposal.

The Yacht Club owns 324 feet of shoreline facing the Marco River, and the marina owns the adjoining 164 feet of shore.

State manatee protection criteria hold that every 10 boat slips need at least 100 feet of shoreline, which means that the 39 slips proposed would not pass muster given the shoreline owned by the Yacht Club alone.

“If they were partnered they have the advantage of using all of the sea walls contiguous to the river, providing the desired 40 wet slips,” City Planner Bryan Milk said. “Otherwise the Yacht Club has approximately 325 feet of sea wall shoreline, which would allow them only 32 or 33 wet slips.”

Also, additional boat slips require additional parking spaces, at least one for every two slips, Milk said.

Those 20 additional parking spots are located on MIMA property.

But Landwaard, who is also the chair of the Yacht Club’s ad hoc committee in charge of the docks’ design, contends that there is no wrench in the plans.

“Nothing has changed,” he said.

Aside from city approval, the plans also await approval from the state for the submerged land lease permit.

Joseph Cunningham, a designer for the firm Turrell, Hall & Associates, told the board Sept. 7 that the design has made it through reviews from both the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“The Corps of Engineers is complete and ready to issue their permit, and the DEP incorporates the Corps permit into its permit,” Cunningham said. “As of now, the submerged land lease permit is the last step that remains.”

Aside from the city’s okay, that is. And judging from the stormy ride the plan has weathered so far, the road to approval may be bumpier still.

Leading Boat Insurer, Progressive, Explains Why Keeping Your Boat Protected Year-Round Could Actually Save You Money

MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Summer's over, your boat's out of the water, and to save a few dollars, you cancel your boat insurance policy. After all, what could possibly happen to your prized possession during the winter months when it's tucked safely away? The answer: A lot, according to The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies, a leading boat insurer and the number one seller of personal watercraft insurance in the country.

"You'd be shocked at the number of claims that are filed in the colder weather months when boats are out of the water," said Dominic Mediate, boat product manager, Progressive. "From 2003 to 2006, nearly two out of every ten Progressive boat claims filed in the northern states from Minnesota to Maine were filed after Labor Day and before Memorial Day. This shows that even when boats are out of the water, the wake may still be rough."

While many boaters may be able to justify dropping collision coverage - which pays for damages in the event of an accident that would generally occur only when the boat's in the water - in the off-season, other situations come up that can cause thousands of dollars in damages that, without the proper coverage, boaters would have to pay for out of their own pockets.

The majority of boat claims are for fire, theft, vandalism and flooding, which can occur not just in the summer months, but year-round. And without comprehensive coverage - which pays for damage caused by circumstances other than a boat collision - boats damaged or destroyed by these events would not be covered by the insurance company.

Some boaters may not realize that they could also be held responsible for any injuries that occur on or around their boats - even if the injured person was there illegally. Without liability coverage - which pays for injuries to other people or damage to their property if you cause an accident - you, and not your insurer, could be legally responsible for damages or the injured parties' medical bills.

These examples show why it's a good idea to keep your coverage even in the off-season, not only for the things that can happen during that time, but also because keeping a policy year-round may mean extra savings that can really add up over time.

Progressive's Disappearing Deductibles, for example, reduces the selected Comprehensive and Collision deductible 25 percent for every claim-free policy period. The deductible is the amount you are required to pay before your insurance company starts picking up the tab.

"Simply put, if you go four policy periods in a row without having a claim, you'll then have no deductible, meaning no out-of-pocket expense if you do need to file a claim," said Mediate. "If you cancel your policy, though, you'll lose your reduced deductible and will be responsible for the entire amount. Our customers typically choose either $500 or $1,000 deductibles, so Disappearing Deductibles can mean real savings."

Disappearing Deductible is just one example of the types of unique benefits available only through specialty boat insurers. Another is Progressive's Total Loss Replacement, a coverage that is only available one time for new boats, so if a customer with this coverage cancels their policy they wouldn't be eligible for it again next season. That's why it's a good idea for boaters to check their policies before canceling and, once they have all the information, weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

"If you cancel your boat insurance in the off-season, not only are you gambling that nothing bad's going to happen, you're also missing out on the potential savings and benefits you can get only if you keep the policy going year-round," said Mediate.

Update on the Boating Biz..and Another Boat Show!

NEWPORT — The boating industry is necessarily embracing globalization, according to two Rhode Island boat manufacturers displaying their products at the Newport International Boat Show. The event opened yesterday and continues through Sunday with more than 700 boats on display along 15 acres of Newport’s waterfront.

M2 Motoryachts, based in Coventry, builds its boats in South Africa with motors and other critical parts shipped to the company’s Cape Town factory, according to director of operations Gary Goddard. Prices of M2’s boats range from $54,000 for a 21-footer to just under $3 million for a 60-foot model.

Pearson Composites, based in Warren, builds several models of sail and power boats from 28 feet to 65 feet in its Rhode Island plant with a work force of more than 200. Prices range from $100,000 to $500,000, and the company plans to begin exporting, according to chief executive officer Patrick Burke.

The mood among salespeople at the show was buoyant on opening day, amid reports that orders for small boats are foundering this season while the demand for mega-yachts is sailing along. “We’ve sold a ton of boats over the last couple of months,” Burke said, “but it was real slow for the prior part of the year.”

Sales of new boats rose slightly in 2006, according to an annual market survey by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. The trade group reported that new-boat and motor sales reached $15.1 billion in 2006, a 3-percent increase from $14.7 billion in 2005.

The average price of a new boat last year was $13,035, and the average price of a new outboard boat, motor and trailer package was $26,085, a 3-percent increase over 2005.

Balancing the good news about last year’s sales, the boating trade association reported that the value of imports to the U.S. boating market is increasing.

Total U.S. boat and engine exports reached $2.3 billion, but with imports valued at $2.8 billion, the U.S. boating industry experienced a trade deficit of $472.3 million, an increase of 3 percent from 2005.

M2’s catamarans are designed in Canada, said Goddard, and are built in South Africa by a work force of 105. “South Africa is the largest center for building catamaran boats,” he said. “You can get skilled labor for $3 an hour; we pay about $5 an hour for skilled, trained people…. Employees there are very loyal, they’re very good and they’re consistent.”

Pearson builds all its boats here with experienced craftsmen, many of them originally from the Azores and Brazil, according to Burke. “We have tremendously skilled craftsmen here,” he said. The company has also launched its own training program, working with schools in Warren to bring some of their students into the work force.

“We need to get overseas from a sales perspective,” Burke said, “but I’m not convinced that we need to commence manufacturing overseas right now, but at some point we will. It’s all volume driven.”

In other industries, such as toy and apparel manufacturing, overseas sourcing is price driven — ultimately by consumers seeking bargains.

Boat buyers are different, said Goddard. “They want quality, they want a good product and they want something that’s reliable. ... People want the best and they’re willing to pay for it.”

“The only person who ever needed a boat was Noah,” Burke said. “After that, it’s all luxury. You’re talking about luxury dollars, disposable income. Think about it. People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on something they truly do not need. Price is not the sole driver.”

How will the worldwide credit crunch affect the boating industry?

“It’s forcing us to spend more time focusing on the customer and product innovation to assure we get the biggest part of market share,” Burke said. “We’re all forced to sharpen our pencils.”

The boat show is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and tomorrow and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission today and Sunday is $16 and tomorrow is $18.
