The Accidental Refit

Ahead of a busy cruising schedule, an ’80s vintage Grand Banks 36 gets a new lease on life.

Classic Cruisers Club: John Garza

This Grand Banks Alaskan 46 owner has seen a lot over his lengthy career. Today he still makes time to give back to the boating community.

A side three-quarter view of a large, rugged expedition trawler named "PAUL JOHANSEN" cruising through calm open water. The vessel features a dark blue hull creating a white wake at the bow, paired with a cream-colored superstructure and a high pilothouse. A tall central mast holds multiple radar domes and communication antennas, while the upper deck carries a white tender and a bright yellow kayak. An American flag flies from the stern under a grey, overcast sky.

Straight Life

Once a rescue craft, this Norway-built steel trawler is the ticket to ride for a venturesome crew.

The flight crew, pilots, and medical personnel wear a mix of green flight suits, tan jumpsuits, and polo shirts. In the background, a cloudy sky features a large, semi-transparent watermark logo of a star with wings. Bold, white capital letters overlay the bottom of the image, reading "WHEN MINUTES MATTER."

When Minutes Matter

Island time is great, except in an emergency. This medevac service is for boaters who need help fast.

A high-angle, eye-level shot looking toward the bow cabin of a large white trawler yacht docked in a marina. A worker in dark blue clothes stands atop the cabin roof structure, using a long-handled brush to scrub the fiberglass surface next to a yellow water hose. The boat features a forward-slanted windshield with multiple wipers, a dark wood-planked foredeck, and stainless steel railings. Other luxury yachts are closely docked on either side under a bright, partly cloudy blue sky.

Stain Masters

Black streaks, yellow mustaches and rust all require different solutions to keep a boat looking clean.
