That’s Hilarium!

137-foot Hakvoort motoryacht Hilarium

137-foot Hakvoort motoryacht Hilarium

Derecktor Shipyard of Florida has re-launched the 137-foot Hakvoort Hilarium after cutting a 7-by-7-foot hole in her starboard side, removing her original MTU 12V 396 engines from 1984 and replacing them with MTU 16V2000s.

It was quite a job, given that the new engines’ raw-water pickups were on the front of the engines while the old ones were on the back. The repower thus included all new copper nickel-welded raw-water plumbing along with engine-bed modifications.

In addition, the Derecktor team gave Hilarium a new exterior paint job — with all of the work completed on budget inside of four months.

“I am thoroughly convinced that this could not have happened at any other yard than Derecktor,” Capt. Doug Coe stated in a news release. “I would be more than happy to discuss this project or any other project in regards to Derecktor Shipyard at any time.”

Derecktor Florida has recently finished a complete re-power and paint job of motor yacht Hilarium . Originally launched in 1984, the 137-foot superyacht Hilarium was built by the prominent Dutch shipyard, Hakvoort .

137ft Hakvoort superyacht Hilarium refitted by Derecktor Florida

“We recently finished a complete re-power and complete paint job of motor yacht Hilarium at Derecktor Shipyard of Florida. Hilarium is a 1984 137 foot Hakvoort built in Holland. She had original engines (12V396’s) in her and we replaced them with MTU 16v2000’s. This was done by cutting a 7 x 7 foot hole in her starboard side for removal and installation. The new engine’s raw water pickups were on the front of the engines, opposite of the original engines. This meant all new copper nickel welded raw water plumbing. Also there was a fair amount of engine bed modifications to accommodate the new engine’s foot print. While all of this was going on the yacht was getting a complete exterior paint job. All of this work was completed and the yacht was back in owner service in less than four months. I am thoroughly convinced that this could not have happened at any other yard than Derecktor.

Derecktor Shipyard is home to the small fleet of yachts that I am in trusted to look after. I would be more than happy to discuss this project or any other project in regards to Derecktor Shipyard at any time.” – Doug Coe, Captain

Yacht repower like a heart transplant

When a megayacht needs a new engine, it is nothing like opening an automobile hood to install a new one. It’s a big job that often entails cutting a car-sized hole in the hull.

Aaron Beiswenger said it can be complex. Beiswenger has worked on many yacht repowers as a naval architect with Murray and Associates in Ft. Lauderdale, including work with Capt. Doug Coe on M/Y Hilarium, a 137-foot Hakvoort.

“Basically it’s like a heart transplant,” Beiswenger said, pointing to a photo of Hilarium’s original engine, the heart, hanging from straps during a recent repower at Derecktor in Dania Beach, Fla. At this point in the repower, the yacht sat on the hard with a 7-square-foot hole in the side and new engines waiting in containers in the yard.

Removing the old engines was just a fraction of the project. Like an organ transplant with blood vessels and nerves, an engine’s fuel, intake, exhaust and electric have to be cautiously reconnected.

“What I run across a lot of the time, is that the captain is surprised by the complication,” Beiswenger said.

Problem prevention is the best way to approach a repower, and that is done with planning, organization and communication.

“If you let a problem snowball and get away from you, you can’t get it back,” Coe said by phone from Hilarium in Italy.

Coe and Beiswenger agreed that planning is key.

“Doug [Coe] prepped, planned and scheduled the yacht to be in the yard four months ahead,” Beiswenger said of the Hilarium job. “That worked well for contractors to become familiar with the vessel. It was quite impressive. I give him credit. Too many times, captains are not prepared.”

As with a successful surgery, the tools and parts need to be on site, and the workspace ready with crew in place.

“Captains would be wise to spend more time planning things out,” Beiswenger said. “They can do their homework by finding boats that have done similar work or yards that have done it. And prepare for downtime.”

Some captains prepare with a program such as a Gantt scheduler program, which uses bar graphs to organize start and finish dates for everything from ordering parts to managing contractors.

Meet head on

Meetings are also key, according to the chief officer of a large yacht that recently repowered in Ft. Lauderdale. The officer and captain asked that the vessel not be named.

“The key to the success here was scheduling and project management with daily meetings and a weekly schedule review,” the chief officer said.

On Hilarium, Coe also held a Friday wrap-up to decide if extra work was required on Saturdays. A  wax pencil board at the job entrance was another tool he used to keep crews informed of deadlines and expectations.

“Say the guy comes to sweep and clean up but sees that they are going to paint, so he can’t,” Coe said. “He can explain that he hasn’t cleaned in a while, but needs to. That way I can delay the painting for a couple of hours.”

First things first

Choosing new engines is one of the first orders of business. Beiswenger recommends an engine be ordered about 10 months ahead because it can take six months to build. The naval architect analyzes compatibility including how the new engine footprint will fit on the current engine beds and how to connect components such as the gearbox, generator, exhaust and seawater connections.

He works with the captain and owner to pick the right engine, whether the goal is more power or to save fuel. Beiswenger uses programs such as NavCad to predict and analyze speed and performance and to test resistance of each option. Naval architects may request to go on a sea trial first to understand what is needed for efficiency and speed.

“It’s helpful if the captain brings as much as possible on original build plans,” Beiswenger said. “We can get specifics from the manufacturer, but the history of the yacht’s rebuilds helps.”

Price is not always the best bargain for a new engine, he said.

“It is rare for best fit engine to also be on sale,” Beiswenger said. “Consider the cost of the engine is just a percentage of the project. If you get it 20 percent cheaper, but the footprint is different, you will probably spend the amount you saved. Anything that you have to move equates to money.”

With downtime in the yard, many yachts tend to also include maintenance, repairs and warranty work.

“Since it’s a fairly major expense, we want people to think of what else can be done at that time,” Beiswenger said.

“While the engine was out, we refurbished the air conditioning and accessed parts of the engine room we never have gotten to before,” Coe said.

As to a ballpark cost? It varies with complexity, but for an initial estimate, expect the cost of the engine plus that amount again, Beiswenger said.

The hole story

Now just how to pull out the old and bring in the new engine? To make the decision Beiswenger prefers a site visit and uses 3D programs to model options. If a hole is cut, the goal is to find the fewest pipes, electrical wires and structure to disrupt. Usually the cut is through the side on metal boats and through the deck on fiberglass.

“Sometimes we can come in through the salon and sometimes it is advantageous to enter on the bottom to save the paint job,” Beiswenger said.

Cuts often have to be made because builders do not take a repower into consideration and usually don’t leave a soft patch, like a hatch or an area that can be easily accessed. Cut location is based on things like how the hole will be sealed. And even though contractors use a fine saw to cleanly replace the cut-out, replacing, fairing and painting can take a month.

Deliberation on where to cut the hole affects all subsequent decisions and was taken seriously by Coe and his team.

“Believe me, when is was being looked at, it was almost down to the toss of a coin,” he said. “But then we thought it over more and picked the least intrusive, most sensible choice, the side where we wanted to make improvements.”

Typically the access hole is not cut into the yacht until the new engines are on site. The hole is cut as small as possible and engines are moved in and out sideways because they are longer than they are wide, Beiswenger said. It is an option to disassemble engines but most yachts try to avoid that.

Reconnecting the new engine usually entails changes and the engineer usually organizes how things should go back together.

“The engineer is very important and we prefer he make some decisions because he is the one using it,” Beiswenger said.

The engineer was in charge of all day-to-day on-scene operations on M/Y Hilarium.

“He, in the end, has to understand and operate what we have done,” Coe said.

Hilarium’s engines were 30 years old and the reconnections demanded skilled “surgeons” to move the new engine’s raw water pickups from the front to the back. This required all new copper nickel welded raw water plumbing and engine bed modifications to accommodate the new engines’ footprints. Plus 135 feet of cable was run from the engine to the wheelhouse.

Sweat the small stuff

Depending on a repower’s complexity, there are a few topics that most yachts should consider:

● The yacht’s insurance company will want to know about the work and Shipyard Repair Legal Liability (SRLL) may be required for contractors, damage liability, equipment, security and fire protection (if hot work is involved).

● Scaffold and tents are usually required to protect the yachts from weather and yard dust, said Dockmaster John Terrill of Lauderdale Marine Center in Ft. Lauderdale. Placement can take a week or two.

“It is important because most yachts don’t have a soft patch in the salon floor so they may sit for months with open holes,” Terrill said.

Depending on how the project is accessed, the crew may need to remove furniture, clear out cabinets and store items. Valuables and doorways may need to be covered and protected.

● If the yacht is in a class, it may be important to get approval for changes along the way. Even if a modification seems simple, such as changing a water line, the class society may mandate the materials used, the angle of the bend, etc., and it may take weeks for approval.

In the end, although planning, organization and communication are key, Coe said it was important to make the best of a difficult project and work together.

“It’s supposed to be fun, and I want people to take pride in the project,” he said. “I don’t want them down at Waxy’s having a beer and complaining. Instead, I hope they’re talking about their ideas and what they want to do at work tomorrow.

“It’s many leaders all working together; no one person gets the single credit for the job,” Coe said. “I am only, after all, the bus driver. The main thing it takes is teamwork. That, and good coffee. A ton of it.”

October: Falmouth, Mass. Inner Harbor

mysteryharbor-1610

If you can correctly identify this harbor, you’ll be on your way to winning a fine Points East designer cap. To qualify, identify the harbor AND tell us something about the harbor , such as how you recognized it and some reasons you like to hang out there. We’ll pick a winner from all of the correct entries and print the answers in the next issue of Points East and also post them here.

That splotch of red is MacDougall’s Marine

The October/November Mystery Harbor is Falmouth, Mass. The picture was taken from the small parking lot on Robbins Road, at the head of the harbor.  The Island Queen, the ferry that carries visitors and provisions to Martha’s Vineyard, is visible on the left (east) side of the harbor, as are Pier 37’s elevated small-boat storage racks on the right (west) side.

Seen farther down the east side, past the gray condominium buildings (which are near the six-mile mark of the Falmouth Road Race) can be seen a splotch of red. That’s MacDougall’s Cape Cod Marine Services. I spent most of my childhood summers in East Falmouth, and in 1962 and ’63, worked at the Harbor View Fish Market, which then was near the mouth of the harbor, across from the Falmouth Yacht Club. We sailed all manner of small craft in and around the area.

Jim Parmentier Brunswick, Maine

I’ve cruised there many times

The answer is Falmouth, Mass. The photo was taken up at the head of the harbor. On the right side, beyond the rack storage, is the town marina. On the left is the Island Queen’s ferry landing. She runs to Oak Bluffs, on Martha’s Vineyard. Farther down on the left is MacDougall’s Marine. I have cruised to this harbor many times.

John Lemos Seekonk, Mass.

Tinkerbelle departed from here

The harbor is Falmouth Harbor, in Falmouth Mass. The shot looks to have been taken close to the spot from which Robert Manry left on June 1, 1965, in Tinkerbelle, for his famous trip to Falmouth, England, in his 13 ½-foot Old Town sailboat. My buddy was a teenager working at Bill Litzgow’s boatyard at the time. Bill knew what was being planned, but he kept mum until after Tinkerbelle departed. We learned he successfully arrived on Aug.17. The harbor has certainly gotten busier since then.

Your magazine is the best; I look forward to each issue. I get them at the local West Marine. I read it cover to cover and like all aspects of it – from the letters to the classifieds. Keep up the good work, and don’t change a thing.

Richard Lovering Woods Hole, Mass.

There’s much to say about harbor

There is not enough room to tell you! The 137-foot navy-hulled yacht Hilarium is on left side of picture, and what looks like Plugger, above Hilarium, backed in. Owner Peter Nicholas has a gorgeous fleet, all with the signature blue hulls and boot tops. Just beyond that you see the Travelift at East Marine. I was the GM of EM for six years when it was owned by Peter Nicholas. On the right side of the photo is Pier 37’s dry-rack storage. I was the forklift operator for two years back in the early ‘80s. MacDougall’s Cape Cod Marine Services is up on the left, and Falmouth Marine is across from MacDougalls (I worked there too!).

Susann Koelsch Boston, Mass.

Ah yes, Falmouth Harbor, Mass.

As a young boy vacationing in Megansett  (North Falmouth), one of the highlights of the year was going down to Falmouth Harbor and walking along the bulkhead, looking at the boats. This always brought up dreams of someday owning one and cruising the northeast. As I got older, dinner at the Flying Bridge was always a treat.

Jack Partridge Hamilton, Mass.

Photograph just missed my boat

The mystery harbor is Falmouth (Mass.) Inner Harbor. Falmouth Inner Harbor was created by dredging a channel from Deacons Pond to the area of Vineyard Sound known as Falmouth Harbor. Surf Drive Beach, immediately west of the channel, is home to the Old Stone Dock, rebuilt in 1817. Most know this as “the kiddee pool” now. The photo was taken from the end of the harbor; m/v Hilarium is on the left, Pier 37 on the right. If the photographer had been a few paces to his left, my boat would have been visible.

Joel Peterson m/v After You Falmouth, Mass.

Quahogged here in 1960s, ’70s

The photo of Falmouth Inner Harbor was shot with the photographer’s back to Robbins Road. The Pier 37 rack is to the right. The Island Queen would be on the left, but she’s on a run to Oak Bluffs. The red building in the ditance on the left is MacDougall’s boatyard. I dug quahogs in this harbor for the state in the 1960s and ’70s for transplanting. In years past, I also spearfished for eels through the ice. I was born in Falmouth, and have lived in Falmouth, all of my 66-plus years

John W. Sylvia, Sr. Falmouth, Mass.

It’s six blocks from our house

Answer: Falmouth Harbor; Falmouth, Mass., Cape Cod. The Mystery Harbor is about six blocks from our house, and I pass it each day on my way to work at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. To the right can be seen the powerboat racks at Pier 37. To the left is the area where the Island Queen ferry to Martha’s Vineyard docks, and farther down is MacDougall’s boatyard. The picture is looking south to the harbor entrance on Vineyard Sound. Great magazine! I always pick it up when we are in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Keith Bradley Falmouth, Mass.

Thanks for the love Keith. You also can pick up Points East in your home town, at a half-dozen distribution points, including MacDougall’s.

From our readers

Love the focus on the New England coast, and I welcome the inclusion of both sailors and powerboaters alike. (And paddlers).
I really like the local feel of Points East and the fact that it is not a glossy fancy pants boating magazine.
We really enjoy reading Points East. We used to just pick it up when we could find it when we were near the coast, but after missing a few issues my wife subscribed. We find it a great read.
Your format and paper choice help Points East feel like a local publication depending on local writers and local storytellers. That’s one of your strengths.
We have immensely enjoyed Points East ever since we began sailing lessons at the Boston Sailing Center… the high caliber of your magazine, and wide array of articles – from fun to serious – make it a pleasure to peruse every month.
I have been reading Points East for many years. I’ve always just picked it up at a local business (Bristol Bagels in Bristol RI), it was a morning ritual to have a bagel and read Points East. The name of your publication embodies my cruising dreams, heading to ‘points east.’
It’s like a drug, as soon as you finish one issue you’re dying to get the next one.
