On the cover: The 63′6″ (19.35m) waterjet pilot boat Polaris III hangs ready for launch at Nordlund Boat (Tacoma, Washington) in August. Built in sturdy composites for hard service in the port of Long Beach (California), the new boat is an update of a 74′ (22.55m) model naval architect Tim Nolan designed 20 years ago. Story on page 32.
