Dear Members,
C O N T A C T U S F O R 2 0 0 9 S P O N S O R S H I P I N F O R M A T I O N
First, let me say again what an honor it is to serve as your President of the FYBA. I have the
pleasure of working with one of the most qualified, professional and experienced Board of
Directors as well as our professional office staff of Executive Director, Rae Whitt; Director of
Member Services, Randi Radulovich; Administrative Assistant, Liz Hasle; and our part-time
assistant, Carolina Perez.
Many of you know me personally and let me extend my “open door policy” for any of our
members who have ideas or want to discuss a problem. Our industry is in a historic down turn
that is larger than any one person or organization. It’s times like these when we all need each
other and our Marine Organizations more then ever. Please, if any of you have any good ideas
and suggestions regarding what the FYBA should be doing or could be doing to help our membership,
please contact me, one of the Board Members or Rae Whitt. Believe me when I say,
“WE ARE HERE TO HELP!”
The first quarter of 2009 has been extremely active, productive and challenging for FYBA. Our
major project has been to develop and promote a “Marine Industry Economic Stimulus
Program”. Responsibility of this project has been given to our Legislative Committee headed
up by Jeff Erdmann of Bollman Yachts, Jason Dunbar of Luke Brown Yachts and Georges
Bourgoignie of Camper & Nicholsons. Our first priority was to hire Mark Bailey as our
Legislative Affairs Consultant and Ron Book as our lobbyist working for us around the state
and in Tallahassee. These guys have been doing an amazing job! Please see the full report in
this issue of the newsletter.
The Board had an all-day 2009 planning session lead by Jim Wilkey of Luke Brown Yachts.
Jim is an amazing facilitator who in his former life worked for some large “Fortune 500”
Corporations. It was a successful meeting and helped us prioritize where the organization is
heading as well as establish our goals and objectives and how to achieve them.
I look forward to seeing you at the FYBA “Open House” events as well as at our seminars
and around the docks.
Best Regards,
Bruce Schattenburg
FYBA President

for land and sea that specializes in training
future professional staff as well as the presently
employed in each respective industry.
This was the first planning session held for the committee
and featured lively discussions on growing the

APRIL Third Thursday Brokers Show
Blessed with perfect spring weather, the April 16th
open house took place under sunny skies at Bahia
Mar. A strong showing of 25 boats were on display,
ranging in size from the 60’ TRACI LYN to the
168’ ENTERPRISE V. FYBA staff conducted registration
at host boat TRIUMPHANT LADY, a 155’
Sterling that just underwent an impressive refit completed
earlier this year. Over 160 professionals attended
the open house, which was a great way for members to
network and catch up with each other! The next open
house will be in May at Lauderdale Marine Center,
which is offering complimentary two-night dockage
for boats participating in the open house! Watch your
email and the website for details!
Thanks to Jim Foley, Bob Allen and Julio Santana
of Trident Funding for sponsoring the event
catered by Mayra’s Personal Touch Catering.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
As the dust settles from Florida’s 2009 Regular Legislative Session,
FYBA evaluates the results of the session with an eye to the future.
There were a few key issues that captured our attention this year.
The FYBA joined efforts with the Marine Industries of South Florida
to support efforts to extend the “10 to 90” day tax exemption provision
for non-resident boat buyers to remain in Florida waters. The
extension to “180” days was approved by the Florida Legislature in
the final days of the session. The FYBA helped fund the needed
study and data collection required in order to convince the
Legislature that the 180 day extension will have a “no-cost” impact
on Florida’s budget and support the broader marine industry.
The FYBA opened a new chapter of our public affairs agenda. As
FYBA strategized on the best approach to improve the competitive
conditions facing Florida’s brokers and dealers, Representative Tom
Grady (R), Naples, introduced a bold measure that would place a
sales tax cap on boat sales in Florida. While we recognized the
political hurdles ahead, the FYBA hired 3 highly skilled lobbyists to
work closely with Rep. Grady, Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff (R), Ft.
Lauderdale, and other co-sponsors as this issue gained unanimous bipartisan
support and passed the Florida House of Representatives.

The Florida Senate, however, was unable to address this and many
other initiatives as the clock ran out for the 2009 Regular 60 Day
Session May 1, 2009.
Just to put things into perspective, reportedly the Florida Legislature
typically passes 450 bills during the 60 day annual Legislative session.
This year, of the 2367 measures introduced (Resolutions,
General Bills, Local Bills, etc.), only 238 passed the Legislature.
Even with the success in the Florida House the realization of what
more needs to be done has become clear. The importance of reliable
data, political involvement, building coalitions and an educational
effort will be needed for a complete public policy agenda.
We hope to build on our experience and will enlist the FYBA membership
as we develop a legislative agenda for the future goals &
benefits of our membership.

FREEDOM WATERS ENJOYS
SUCCESS AT DANIA BEACH
MARINE FLEA MARKET
Freedom Waters Foundation (FWF) raised close to $10,000 at the Dania
Beach Marine Flea market all from donated marine related items from those
in the yachting and boating industry, including a water pump that donated
by Chris Barlow that will be used in the Children’s Home in the Bahamas.
Profits pleasantly surprised FWF’s Board and Executive Director, exceeding
their expectations, being their first year of participation.
Tax deductible donations were collected from yacht brokers, boat
yards, individuals and businesses in the boating industry. Thank you
to Ron McTighe for securing the free market space and getting free
storage for the entire year. A number of volunteers recruited through
Luke Brown Yachts stood in the sunshine and pouring rain and cold,
working endlessly to raise the funds for FWF. Chris Barlow was just
one of those volunteers. Given his dedication and enthusiasm
throughout this flea market process, Chris has now been appointed the
“Marine Merchandise Manager” for Freedom Waters Foundation. He
will continue to take in and sell marine related items for FWF. Chris
can be contacted at (954) 790-4753.
Freedom Waters Foundation is a non-profit organization co-founded by
FYBA member John Weller that provides boating opportunities and
marine related education for children with cancer and their families.
Programs include: yacht outings, sailing programs, fishing programs
and special events such as regattas, fishing tournaments, family fun
days and more! For more information visit www.freedomwatersfoundation.com

Peter Thompson of OCEAN Independence (OCI) is
happy to announce the sale of the Co-Central Agency
yacht, 49.7m Christensen, CASINO ROYALE. This stunning

transocean design, featuring an elegant and stylised mahogany
interior including a full beam master cabin and a further 5 guest
cabins and many sought-after modifications including an

Curtis Stokes of The Sacks Group Yachting Professionals
Brokerage Division recently announced two exciting new
megayacht listings, including the majestic 153-foot Feadship
PARAISO. Designed by renowned naval architect Jon
Bannenberg and built in 1983, this yacht underwent a complete
refit in 2008. PARAISO has five luxuriously appointed en suite
guest staterooms, including a main-deck owner’s suite and a VIP
stateroom on the lower deck. Lloyds-classed, she has a range of
2,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 11 knots. Stokes’
other new listing is Balkan 28, a 28-meter (91'10') raised pilothouse
motor yacht built in 1982 by Cantieri Di Pisa. She has an
interesting history, having originally been owned by the then-
Communist Republic of Bulgaria for its Chairman of the State
Council. Her current owner recently moved her to Turkey for a
complete overhaul from the keel up. “Balkan 28 is nearing completion
with a lengthened hull, all-new machinery, electronics,
audio/visual, interior furnishings and more,” said Stokes. She is
offered at $3.45 million. “The owner will consider all reasonable
owner financing or leasing terms,” he reported. Contact
954-764-7742 or curtis@curtisstokes.net
Northrop and Johnson Luxury Collection Sales Division is thrilled
to announce the sale of MISS PENNY, the 80’ Offshore, by Gregg
Child. Launched in 2004, MISS PENNY is a new generation of heavily
constructed, fuel efficient and sea worthy cruisers. Contact Gregg
Child at gchild@njyachts.com or 954-522-3344.
Northrop and Johnson Luxury Collection Sales Division is
thrilled to announce the sale of LARA, the 125' Delta
Expedition, by Kevin Merrigan. In February, Merrigan made
yacht brokerage history announcing a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE
deal, for LARA and JO-JO, the 60' Tempest. When LARA closed,
instead of including JO-JO in the deal, Kevin accepted
PRINCESS YOLINI, the 103' Broward, as a trade to complete the
sale for his client. JO-JO will now be paired with PRINCESS
YOLINI and offered for FREE to the lucky buyer! Both yachts are
listed with Kevin Merrigan, and for a limited time, both yachts
will be sold together - history will repeat itself for another
remarkable deal. For additional details kindly contact Kevin
Merrigan at kmerrigan@njyachts.com or 954-522-3344.
United Yacht Sales reports that it has been enjoying a much better
than expected Spring, having closed on 24 transaction in the
month of April alone. Peter Schmidt (founder of United) notes
that buyers realize that there has never been a better time to purchase
a boat whether it be a day cruiser of large yacht.
The Sacks Group’s Palm Beach Boat Show Display
Attracts a Large Turnout: These days, nothing beats a
“better than expected” consumer response at a boat show.
That’s how the pros at The Sacks Group Yachting Professionals
summed up business at the 24th Annual Palm Beach
International Boat Show, which ran March 26-29 in West Palm
Beach, Florida. TSGYP’s Brokerage and Charter Marketing
Divisions both reported strong consumer interest, resulting in
several pending yacht sales and bookings for the coming summer
season.
Classic Yachts International is pleased to announce these recent
sales in our Ft. Lauderdale, Ft. Pierce and Cape Coral offices.
Steve Fithian, based in Ft. Lauderdale, sold a new 2009 Grand
Banks 65 Aleutian RP and a new 2009 Grand Banks 45 Eastbay
SX. Julee Jackson, in Ft. Pierce, sold a new 2008 Grand Banks
45 Eastbay SX. CYI’s brokerage sales that have recently closed
are: PASSAT I - GB 55 Eastbay SX, BALLAD - GB 49 Heritage
CL, HAWK - GB 47 Eastbay FB, No Name - GB 47 Heritage EU,
SUNRISE - GB 43 Eastbay HX, SANTA FE - GB 43 Eastbay HX,
FIVE STAR - GB 43 Eastbay FB and HIS GRACE - GB 42 Heritage
CL. All of these sales speak highly of both our knowledgeable
sales team and the outstanding product we represent, Grand
Banks Yachts!
CNI announces that Fernando Nicholson has sold the 112’
Nautor’s Swan MYSTERYwhile she was lying in New Zealand.
MYSTERY is now joining the CNI fleet for full yacht management
and charter. Craig Erickson lists the 121’4” SEASCAPE
from the Heesen yard. SEASCAPE is fast, cruising in excess

on Saturday for the die hard fishermen to board “Mimi”, a 59’
Sportfish for a deep sea fishing excursion. On Saturday afternoon,
our members gathered on the docks to celebrate four Marlow

Outer Reef Yachts has introduced the first in a series of Yachtfish
models. With this past years spike in fuel prices, many traditional
battlewagon sport fishing machines with large horsepower engines
and unsightly fuel burns, spent more time dockside than fishing.
Many Yachtsmen that do not fish hard core any longer, but still wish
to drag bait are looking in a different direction, the Yachtfish motor
yacht. The Yachtfisher is the best of both worlds. If you are looking
to fish in far off fishing grounds, the Yachtfish platform affords
long range and comfort, and can stay offshore on extending fishing
expeditions for months at a time. Another great benefit is avoiding
all those fueling stations along the way with the traditional battlewagon.
Outer Reef Yachts has under construction an 86 Yachtfish
for a California client and expects to deliver her in December 2009.
For more information please go to www.OuterReefYachts.com or

ELECTRONIC
In this age of technology, where you can email, scan, skype, google
and twitter, is the use of electronic records and electronic signatures
legal? The short answer is yes.
Federal Law governing Electronic Records and Electronic
Signatures:
According to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act (the “Act” or “E-Sign”), enacted into federal law on
June 30, 2000, the use of electronic records and electronic signatures
is legal unless such use is otherwise excluded from the Act. 1 The Act
provides in part:
“with respect to any transaction in or affecting interstate or foreign
commerce--a signature, contract, or other record relating to such transaction
may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely
because it is in electronic form; and a contract relating to such transaction
may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely
because an electronic signature or electronic record was used in its
formation.” 2
Examples of electronic records and electronic signatures specifically
excluded from use by the Act, include, but are not limited to, electronic
records and electronic signatures utilized in connection with, the creation
and execution of wills, codicils, or testamentary trusts, adoption,
divorce or other matters of family law, the Uniform Commercial Code
(excluding the sale of goods, leases, and other specified sections), and
official judicial documents. 3
Additionally, it should be noted that although the use of electronic signatures
and electronic records is legal, the Act does not limit, alter or
otherwise affect any requirement imposed by any other statute or rule
of law related to the record, contract, signature, or transaction, except
the requirement that such record, contract or signature be in non-electronic
form. 4
State Law governing Electronic Records and Electronic
Signatures:
Prior to the federal government’s enactment of the Act on June 30,
2000, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws gathered for the purpose of establishing a uniform set of rules
governing electronic records and electronic signatures for adoption by
the States. Shortly thereafter, the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act, as approved by the National Conference of Commissioners on
Uniform State Laws in 1999, was born. 5
Where States adopt the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”),
or a substantially similar law, the State enacted law would preempt the
Act. 6 However, where States adopt a law governing electronic records and
electronic signatures that is substantially different than UETA, the State
enacted law would be preempted by the Act. 7

VALIDITY OF
RECORDS & SIGNATURES
Florida Law governing Electronic Records and Signatures
Prior to the inception of UETA, the State of Florida took steps of
its own to establish guidelines for the use of electronic records and
electronic signatures and to further promote e-commerce by signing
into law the Electronic Signature Act of 1996.
The Electronic Signature Act of 1996 provides in part that:
“Unless otherwise provided by law, an electronic signature may be
used to sign a writing and shall have the same force and effect as a
written signature.” 8
Shortly thereafter, in 2000, Florida adopted UETA. 9 To date, all
States with the exception of four (Georgia, Illinois, New York and
Washington), have adopted UETA. 10 UETA, as enacted by the State
of Florida, provides for legal recognition of electronic records and
electronic signatures and states in part:
(7)(a) A record or signature may not be denied legal effect or
enforceability solely because the record or signature is in
electronic form.
(b) A contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability
solely because an electronic record was used in the formation
of the contract.
(c) If a provision of law requires a record to be in writing, an
electronic record satisfies such provision.
(d) If a provision of law requires a signature, an electronic
signature satisfies such provision.” 11
Additionally, it should be noted that in order to establish the validity of
an electronic record or electronic signature, the parties to the transaction
must agree to conduct a transaction by electronic means. 12 Whether the
parties have agreed to conduct a transaction by electronic means is determined
from the circumstances surrounding the transaction. 13
What Constitutes an Electronic Signature and how is an
Electronic Signature Attributed to the Signatory pursuant
to Florida law?
UETA defines an electronic signature as follows:
“Electronic Signature means an electronic sound, symbol, or process
attached to or logically associated with a record and executed or adopted
by a person with the intent to sign the record.” 14
In general terms, the following could be considered an electronic signature:
Pasting a scanned version of your signature where a signature
is required; Typing, by electronic means, your signature where
a signature is required; Use of secured technology to generate a signature
where a signature is required; or The act (or process) of pressing
the “I accept” button (a popular form of electronic signature
when purchasing goods and services on-line).
However, the more important question may be: How is the electronic
signature attributed to the signatory? How can you be sure that the electronic
signature is that of the signatory and not the fraudulent use of an
electronic signature by another person? This is perhaps the greatest area
of concern when making a decision as to whether or not the parties to
a transaction should agree to be bound by electronic signatures.
Pursuant to UETA, the attribution of electronic records and electronic
signatures is set forth as follows:
(a) An electronic record or electronic signature is attributable to a
person if the record or signature was the act of the person.
The act of the person may be shown in any manner,
including a showing of the efficacy of any security procedure
applied to determine the person to which the electronic record or
electronic signature was attributable.
(b) The effect of an electronic record or electronic signature
attributed to a person under paragraph (a) is determined from the
context and surrounding circumstances at the time of its creation,
execution, or adoption, including the parties’ agreement, if any,
and otherwise as provided by law.” 15
In general terms, in order to be a valid electronic signature, the electronic
signature must be the act of the signatory. Whether or not the electronic
signature is the act of the signatory may be determined from the
circumstances surrounding the transaction such as:
Does the electronic signature match the signatory’s signature?
Did the electronic signature come from the signatory’s email address?
Would the signatory logically have been able to affix the electronic signature
to the electronic record?
Currently, there are no specific rules requiring security procedures be
implemented to ensure protection electronic records and electronic signatures.
However, as the use of electronic records and electronic signatures
continues to grow, rules governing their protection are likely to
increase.

24TH ANNUAL
As the sails raised on the 24th Palm
Beach International Boat Show, organizers
and exhibitors were upbeat.
The show featured new city docks, an
expanded and improved layout and
over 500 exhibitors who remained
optimistic – and with good reason.
While attendance was comparable to
last year, many exhibitors reported that
they saw more qualified leads and
buyers who were “ready to make a
deal” and not just browsing.
The show featured more than 1,000
boats and watercraft on display,
ranging from inflatables to mega
yachts and seafaring accessories and
electronics, valued at more than
$350 million. Some 25 yachts
100 feet and longer, including the
163-foot CASINO ROYALE by
Christensen Yachts, were featured at
the show, its largest mega yacht
showing ever, according to organizers.
The boat show contributes about $15
million a year to the local economy
and provides temporary work for many.
According to Info-Link Technologies
Inc., new boat sales in January and
February fell roughly 46 percent and
52 percent in Broward and Palm
Beach counties, respectively, compared
with the same period in 2008.

2009
PALM BEACH INT’L BOAT SHOW
COMMENTS FROM THE SHOW:
“I found the Palm Beach Boat Show energizing,
especially after a so-so Yacht & Brokerage Show in
February, and a below-average show in Ft. Laud.”
-Jennifer M. Saia, The Sacks Group
“The Palm Beach Show was great for Denison Yacht
Sales. We met a lot of wonderful people on our new
boats, the 62 Selene and the 40 Rivolta. Our brokerage
boats were busy as well. I really believe the traffic,
overall mood and a few very good offers gave a lot of
us something very good to build on for the summer and
then of course for the Ft. Lauderdale Show.”
- Bob Denison, Denison Yacht Sales
“Having walked the docks during the show, I picked
up quite a few incredible boat deals to be had. This,
in my opinion, is the ultimate buyers market and if its
someone’s first time in boating, the size boat that can
be had for the dollar, is quite impressive.”

Sardinian Luxury Yacht Tax Scrapped:
(synfo.com) Sardinia Yacht Services announced
that the Sardinia Luxury Tax that has been in effect
since 2006 has been cancelled. On May 6, the
local regional government of Sardinia approved
Article 2 of the Financial Regional Act, which
effectively cancels the law known as the “luxury
tax” in Sardinia. This tax was felt throughout the
tourism industry and had a negative effect on the
local tourism economy. The law, which has now
been cancelled, stipulated that yachts berthed in
any port in Sardinia had to pay up to 15,000 euros
for their sojourn. This tax had a visibly negative
result on Sardinia’s image as a premier vacation
destination worldwide.

U.S. To Allow Travel,
Money Transfers to Cuba
(msnbc.com, April 13, 2009)
Fulfilling a campaign promise, President Barack Obama is allowing
Americans to make unlimited trips and money transfers to family in
Cuba and easing other restrictions, ushering in a new era of openness
toward the island nation ruled by communists for 50 years. With the
changes, Obama aims to lessen Cubans' dependence on the Castro
regime, hoping that will lead them to demand progress on political
freedoms, the official said. About 1.5 million Americans have relatives
on the island nation that turned to communist rule in 1959 when Fidel
Castro seized control. The administration also will begin issuing
licenses to allow telecommunications and other companies to provide
cell phone, television and radio service to people on the island, and to
allow Americans to pay for such services for their relatives there.

FYBA
CHARTER PROFESSIONALS COMMITTEE
MEMBERS MEET WITH BAHAMIAN OFFICIALS
By Nicole Caulfield of Robert J. Cury & Associates
One of the objectives of the FYBA Charter Committee has been to
work with the Government of the Bahamas in regard to the Bahamas
Charter Sales Tax. During the first quarter of this year, committee
members Crom Littlejohn, Nicole Caulfield and Terry Hines traveled
to Nassau to meet with Mr. Anthony Allens, Port Controller, Mr.
Frederick Rogers, Supervisior of Boat Registration and Ms. Bodie,
Treasurer. Our goal is to make the process of obtaining a charter
license easier and less time consuming for Captains and Owners and
to get more yachts licensed. The Bahamian law is that to operate a
charter in the waters of the Bahamas, a yacht must obtain an annual
Bahamas Charter License and a 4% sales tax on the charter is due. The
government officials were happy to meet with us and gained a better
understanding of the logistics of these charters.
As a result of our meetings, the Bahamas Government is looking into
ways that should help streamline the licensing process while making
it easier for licensed yachts to submit tax payments and support the
cruising in these beautiful waters. For additional information please
contact FYBA Charter Committee or visit the Bahamas web site at
www.Bahamas.gov.bs

Number of Billionaires Drops: The number of billionaires
in the world has dropped 30 percent from last year’s 1,125 billionaires,
according to Forbes Magazine. The drop
reflects a loss in net worth of $2 trillion.
T I D B I T S . . .
Seat Belt Bill Sent to Crist for Signing: The legislation
permits $30 tickets for failure to wear seat belts even if no other
traffic laws are broken.
Ft. Lauderdale Maritime Museum Deal Fails: A lengthy
effort to open the city's first maritime museum has failed.
Marine-loving volunteers couldn't raise the money to run the
museum even though they were offered free rent in the New
River Trading Post. The museum would have had to pay
$40,000 to $60,000 annual maintenance, plus the cost of
operating the museum.
New Free Dock in Ft. Lauderdale: A new 100’ floating dock
is available on the New River just west of the train bridge along
Riverwalk near the Performing Arts Center. Boats up to 26’ can tie
up for free on the dock. The dock is open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Florida Taxpayer Independence Day: As of Sunday,
April 19, 2009, Floridians began earning for themselves, not
the tax collector. The symbolic date is annually estimated by
Florida TaxWatch and assumes that every dollar earned since
January 1 goes to pay federal, state, and local tax obligations.
Still, the mid-April date means that Floridians have to work for
108 days of the 365 in 2009 exclusively for the benefit of
their government, approximately a third of the year.

NEW JERSEY MARINE INDUSTRY
HIT HARD
Boating Industry, April 7, 2009
The New Jersey boat builders have eliminated about 1,000 jobs in the
last 18 months, according to a report in the New York Times. The
state’s biggest boat builder alone, Viking Yacht Company, is down
more than 500 jobs from a high of 1,360 workers a year ago. Another
New Jersey builder, Ocean Yachts, reported that its staff has dwindled
from 130 to 50 employees in the last two years. In general, New
Jersey manufacturing lost 15,900 jobs last year, the Labor Department
reported. According to the Times, that 5.1 percent decline is almost
five times steeper than the 1.17 percent decline in employment overall
across the state.
SOMALI PIRATE
TO BE TRIED AS ADULT IN NY
www.telegraph.co.uk, April 21 , 2009
A Somali teenager was charged as an adult in a New York court on
Tuesday in what is believed to be the first piracy case in America in
more than a century. Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse, who is thought to be
18, is also facing hostage-taking charges over the seizure of the captain
of an American cargo ship earlier this month. He faces a mandatory
life sentence if convicted of piracy. The judge rejected the
defense request that he should be tried as a minor, saying that Muse's
father had given conflicting testimony over his son's age.

HOW TO MAKE
HOPE FLOAT
You may have seen M/Y "SHEKINAH GLORY" cruising through the
Caribbean Sea, but this 78' Hargrave is not out for a pleasure cruise; she
travels these turquoise waters with a singular purpose, to bring hope to
and serve the poverty-stricken people of the Islands.
Length, beam, engines and layout seem insignificant when you consider
her name, "SHEKINAH", which translates from Hebrew meaning "the
presence of God in this world." This sentiment is the foundation for
which the Shekinah Glory Island Ministries, LLC purchased this yacht
and set out to change lives. The SGIM is operated by the Gagnon Family,
who are driven by their beliefs to travel throughout poverty-stricken
islands and well beyond the tourist areas to distribute medical supplies,
clothing and footwear, build churches, schools and community centers,
and educate people on topics such as AIDS awareness.
The SGIM said, "Our mission is to provide a unique opportunity to make
a tangible difference in the lives of people who need hope." M/Y "SHEK-
INAH GLORY", or what the Gagnon family refers to as "Floating Hope",
is certainly an unusual platform from which to spread goodwill but they
have found it to be incredibly effective. Their good works have helped the
staff at Hargrave realize that in order to make hope float you must have
faith in your beliefs, strength in your hearts and perseverance in your
mission. Hargrave Custom Yachts is proud to recognize and support the
endeavors of Shekinah Glory Island Ministries as they set afloat to serve
the less fortunate. Contact Kevin Gagnon via e-mail at:
kgagnon1@maine.rr.com, /www.sgislandministries.org.

In Memoriam
Kaye A. Pearson
1940-2009
Family and Friends remember Kaye A. Pearson. Kaye, age 68,
passed away peacefully in his Ft. Lauderdale home on March 21,
2009 after losing his battle against cancer. He is survived by his
wife, Cheri Pearson; brother, Jerry; sister, Janet Powell; and
daughter Jennifer Moore along with a great circle of other family
and friends.
In 1976 Kaye started Yachting Promotions (YPI), a company
which produced numerous boat shows and events around the state.
In 1991, working hand in hand with the FYBA Board of Directors,
Kaye became FYBA’s partner in producing the Yacht & Brokerage
Show in Miami. On behalf of the FYBA board of directors and
members, negotiations for the show were handled by FYBA board
members Craig Cadwalader, Pete Woods and Steve Moynihan. In
2006 Kaye sold the company to Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist III of
Active Interest Media Inc. (AIM) who became FYBA’s new partner
in the show. Other major shows produced by Kaye and YPI dba
Show Management included: the Fort Lauderdale International
Boat Show, the Palm Beach Boat Show, the St Petersburg Boat
Show and the Suncoast Boat Show along with a host of other
regional boat shows and special events. Known for his keen business
sense, compassion and generosity, Kaye’s awards and accomplishments
are too vast to mention. Kaye will be missed by his
friends in the marine industry and everyone that knew him.
Herb Phillips
April 26, 2009
Herb Phillips, a pioneer in building aluminum sport-fishing
boats, passed away on April 26, 2009 at the age of 86. He had a
long term kidney condition. Herb built his first 26’aluminum boat
in 1951 and established the Striker line. The Striker line became
legendary among sport-fishing yachts and Herb has the distinction
of building over 700 boats. He built his last Striker, a 70 footer
in 1995. Herb moved to South Florida in 1955 and ran Herb
Phillips Yacht Sales in Fort Lauderdale. He loved to fish, and once
landed a 663-pound swordfish with 80-pound tackle. He will be
missed by all his friends and family.
Don Mead
Don Mead, a successful yacht broker for 25 years, passed away
recently in Charleston, S.C. As a broker for Allied Marine in
Miami, he earned several sales awards including Hatteras
Salesman of the Year. He finished his career working for Jarrett
Bay in Charleston. (excerpt from Southern Boating, May 2009)
Condolences
FYBA extends their condolences to Bob and Susan Zarchen on
the loss of Susan’s father who passed away peacefully in his
sleep recently at the age of 98.
