S Salvage 14 The New SMFF By Captain Katharine Sweeney Passenger Vessels 18 Will Grandfathering Be Enough? By Joe Hudspeth Propulsion 22 Do Propellers Sing? Leonardo Montoya Clarification In the December 2010 edition of MarineNews the designer of the Chetzemoka, one of the Great Boats of 2010, was not given credit and Jesse Engineering was mistakenly named as providing engineering serv- ices for the project. While Jesse Engineering was a vital part of the vessel’s construction, Elliott Bay Design Group designed the vessel and Guido Perla & Associates completed the detail engineering.
