The first person is Will Oudmayer who built this ship, and the second is Bob Tiscareno, who now owns it. Read all about this beautiful and superbly built model in the following page, and see more beautifully detailed digital images of it.

2 FEBRUARY 2012 BOAT OF THE MONTH CONTINUED This month s honor really belongs to Will Oudmayer, but because Bob Tiscareno now owns it, it s only fair to include the new owner. Bob bought this boat from Will last month, and he is just amazed at the quality of the build of this ship. As in all of the boats/ships that Will has built, this one has got to be the best. At least in the eyes of the new owner. In the images below you will see many of the incredible features of this boat that make it very unique. Pictured Above Left; is the impressive and highly detailed wheelhouse of the Oranje 1 complete with working navigation lights and rotating radar. Pictured Above Center; are the twin anchors mounted to the rear of the vessel. With the power that this boat has, if you were to attempt to retrieve the anchors, and they were caught on something, you would probably pull the boat under. Pictured Above Right; is a digital image of the row-boat that is mounted to the rear of the vessel. Pictured Above Left; are the twin anchor winches. Pictured Above Center; are various item attached to the deck that would be needed for the daily operations of this vessel.

We have a little to talk about this issue, so go into the kitchen grab a cold one, or hot! Take off your shoes, and read. CAPTAIN BOB One of the very first things that we will need to talk about are the upcoming elections. I will need your help, as some of our members need a break from the politics of the club. Frank Milowicki, and Jim Shultz both have decided to not hold their office this year for personal reasons. I have one individual who has volunteered to help, and that is Armando Leriget. He has come forward to step into the position of Executive Officer. I thank him for coming forward. If you should want to run for office, please see me at the club meetings, or drop me a line or . The offices are; Captain, Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, and Newsletter Publisher. The ballots for this election will be mailed out to all members with a club addressed stamped envelope to make it easy for you to mail back to me. If you would like to run for office, or would like to nominate someone, please make sure that you ask that person if they want to accept the nomination. Complete the ballot form and mail back to me as soon as possible. The results of the elections will be posted in the March issue of the newsletter. Well, that s all about the elections. Next month there will be a new article in the newsletter called The Dry- Dock. What this will be is a article which will show the progress of something that you are building. That should be really cool to see your projects from concept to completion to launch.

( THE BIG I IS COMING TO SAN PEDRO U.S.S. IOWA BB-61 By: Bob Tiscareno As many if you might know, and maybe some of you don t, the U.S. Battleship Iowa BB-61 will be coming to San Pedro California to become a floating museum. The other day, I took a ride don t to San Pedro will my friend Armando, to visit the Maritime Museum, and also to check out the future site where the Iowa will be. The location of the battleship Iowa will be just off the Vincent Thomas Bridge between the World Cruise Center, and the Maritime Museum. It will be arriving in San Pedro sometime in April. I plan to be there all night, so when it does come, I will get some great shorts of it arriving, and the fire boats shooting water into the air to welcome the ship, etc, etc. The ship is currently being readied in Virginia for it s cruise to San Pedro. From what I understand, the ship will not be under it s own power on it s journey to the west coast, but will be towed the whole distance via tug boats, traveling through the Panama Canal. As I said, the ship will be arriving in April, but will not be open to the public sometime this year. If you would like to get more information about the U.S.S. Iowa BB-61, and it s journey to California, go to it s web-site at
