The Source of Inspiration Sailing, for the vast majority of us, is the stuff of dreams - it’s in our heads more than we’re on the water. I love to meet sailors who have literally checked all the boxes they ever wanted to, and thanks to my job, I have the good fortune to meet more of them than I knew existed. They’ve rounded the Horn or won a worlds or lived aboard the perfect boat. But for almost all of us, the dream is alive and well and still driving us through life’s often choppy waters. The April issue of 48°N is our Charter Guide (page 32). Forgive me if this is too inside baseball, but I think you might find it interesting. Last year we had three charter-specific articles in the magazine for April, all of which were well-written and fantastically informative. That’s one way to serve the community - to inform. But, recently, I’ve been thinking a bit more about inspiration. Many of us are fascinated by the wildly unattainable, or at least the very improbable. I don’t know whether I’ll ever sail on a boat flying above the water on hydrofoils, though the way the technology is advancing, it seems likely... not because I’m getting calls from America’s Cup teams (they must have lost my number), but because foiling is already available to keen amateur sailors. Regardless of whether or not I’ll ever foil, when I watch the AC boats, or the GC 32s that are now being used for the Extreme Sailing Series, or any Moth coverage, it makes me want to go sailing so badly. And, as cool as it would be to foil, I’m never disappointed when I focus that dreamy energy into the kind of sailing I like to do. Similarly, I’m no closer to sailing in the Southern Ocean than I am to hiking out on a foiling boat. But when I have the chance to read about it or, better yet, talk with someone who has sailed there (like I did for the Clipper article, page 48), that view into a pinnacle of sailing gives me a serious thirst for more sailing right here on Puget Sound. So for this Charter Guide, I’ve gone more inspirational than informational. I hope you’ll channel any inspiration you find in these pages into action - to explore new places, to prioritize sailing, and to turn a dream into reality. A big part of what has driven me to this line of thinking has been my crash course in all things related to the Clipper Round the World Race, which will be making its first ever stopover in Seattle late this month. Talking with a number of past Clipper participants who are from the Pacific Northwest has left me inspired by their stories and much more excited about this event than I anticipated. I can’t wait to see those boats and meet those sailors, to hear their stories of commitment and courage, and relish a genuine accomplishment. I hope that many of you will join in the event in the various ways you may choose to do so. Maybe the Clipper Race isn’t your bag or isn’t in your budget. I’m confident it will still offer inspiration to go with adventurous tales of the open ocean, as well as a good reminder that ordinary people do extraordinary things on water, big and small, every day. Another source of inspiration this month has been working with a young sailor and writer named Kaia Bryce (Page 38). Kaia is not old enough to tell me her story over a beer in Seattle. Nonetheless, she bought her first boat, and last summer managed to secure a job captaining her “research vessel” as a field assistant in a conservation study for University of Victoria. She explored the Inside Passage as far north as Bella Coola. And she did it single-handed most of the time, unless you count her kitten, Numa, who joined the crew along the way. So, on your own boat, with your sailing buddies, going racing, cruising, or chartering... may you put your inspiration to good use. Perhaps one day you’ll be that astounding person telling some editor about how you’ve lived the dream. I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North 6

I continue on schedule on my sailing adventure. I just finished a two-day, two-night, single-handing crossing of the Sea of Cortez to La Paz. I am laughing at my mind for my misplaced angst about a rough crossing. My reptilian brain kicked in, allegedly to keep me from danger. I value rehearsing several scenarios for the purpose of better preparedness. However, I cannot act on the wild fantasies of my mind’s projections. Someday, I hope to be able to be calm in ALL circumstances and simply respond to what shows up in the moment — without the delusional mind projections that take me out of reality and destroy my joy. I feel the gratification of a success. Success is simply achieving a goal you’ve set for yourself. And this one is marked by the anchor splash and the sunset in the same minute. I audibly cheer. I smile with elation. There’s no ticker tape parade (is that because ticker tape is no more?), and no one notices. But I feel the glow of job well done. After setting switches, coiling lines, and tidying up the details, I mix myself a double margarita and recline on the deck, sip slowly and revel in my good fortune. In front of me is probably the sweetest part of the trip: day sails north up the Sea of Cortez on the east side of the Baja peninsula and picturesque gunkholes in the evenings, all pristine beauty and sun (you remember what sun is?). I’m meeting some new crew in Loreto. This trip is going by at blinding speed. Howard Edson, S/V Raven’s Dance Thanks for the note, Howard! You certainly are leading the good life! Enjoy your gunkholing northwards in the Sea of Cortez. I’m looking at sunshine on Puget Sound right now, and the welcome sun is making more regular returns to the Pacific Northwest as it, thankfully, always seems to. *Note, this update is a mix of a message from Howard, and a portion of his most recent blog post on grandadventuresaboardravensdance.wordpress.com www.48North.com

Letters High School Sailing Explosion Joe, The Northwest District Interscholastic Sailing Association (NWISA) started its spring season March 5, 2016, with regional regattas at Silverdale and Oak Harbor. Teams will continue to race through May and the season will culminate by NWISA hosting High School Team Race Nationals at Anacortes Memorial Day weekend. We hope to have some 48° North coverage! All the best! Burke Thomas I obviously don’t include every letter I get like this. However, the High School sailing scene in the Pacific Northwest is positively off the charts right now and deserves a mention. I know for a fact that Burke, who works with Sail Orcas, is one of the people whose tireless efforts are helping to grow the sport in a major way in our area. There are several really important national events on the calendar in the Northwest, including the Baker Cup, which is the High School Team Racing National Championship that Burke mentions in this letter, and the Nancy Leiter Clagett Memorial Trophy Regatta, which is the Women’s Single-Handed National Championship for ages 13-18 and is hosted in 2016 by Sail Sand Point. Each of these indicates that the hard work is paying off for passionate people like Burke, and Andrew Nelson from The Sailing Foundation, and so many other sailing program organizers, volunteers, coaches, and parents, not to mention each of the committed young sailors! These regattas coming to our waters is a marvelous endorsement of the quality and culture and influence of high school sailing in the Pacific Northwest. Way to go! Don’t miss the NWISA Season Kickoff Update on Page 61. Exciting Times Hey Joe Just a quick note to say it was nice to chat with you Saturday after racing. The new issue made its way to Montana yesterday and I have to say I think it is one of the better ones of all time. It is indeed an exciting time for our sport; there seems to be more interest in the sport than ever before. Keep up the excellent work - see you soon I am sure. Pete Sauer Kalispell, MT Thanks, Pete! It’s always good to see you out here sailing the salty stuff. People often forget that we have active and skilled and fun (!) sailors away from our saltwater coasts. Sailors like Pete, the folks sailing the Idaho lakes, and the active group sailing the Okanagon, as well as a wide variety of others, are an important part of the sailing community in the Pacific Northwest.

“... during my ‘ideal boat pursuit’ (I met) Lawrence in the salon of a Marlow Hunter 31 during a boat show in Seattle. He countered my ‘production boat cost cutting’ objections with solid facts and I became very interested. The discussion was a reflection of his grounding in the transformation taking place under the Marlow flag.
APRIL IS THE PERFECT MONTH TO GET ON THE MARLOW HUNTER WAVELENGTH.
It led my wife and me to Vancouver, BC, to order a new boat, and eventually for me to see SAGE being built, where my confidence in her became resolute.” Eric and Nancy Davis read more testimonials at specialtyyachts.com

Lowtide Youth Sailing Open House April 30 Rat from The Wind in the Willows was right. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” Fortunately for Puget Sound area residents, we live in a boating paradise with an abundance of programs and opportunities for kids to learn how to mess about in sailboats. From local after-school programs to day camps to multi-week voyages to Desolation Sound, on boats as small as eight feet and as large as 133', the options are endless. Windsurfing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and rowing are also offered by some groups. Programs are available for children as young as four years old and through high school. To help parents and kids learn about the variety of options available, a group of 16 of Puget Sound’s leading sailing organizations have teamed up and are holding a Youth Sailing Open House. “It’s a golden opportunity for parents and kids to check out a variety
of programs, all in one place, and even get out on the water,” says Andrew Nelson, Northwest Youth Sailing Director, The Sailing Foundation. “They can talk directly with camp and club organizers and instructors and choose the programs that best suit their family, budget and calendars.” The half-day event is free and will also include fun land activities (arts and crafts, games, knot tying, sailboat origami) and on-water activities (sailing demos and free sailboat rides) plus a free BBQ lunch (while supplies last). Sailing is a sport that kids can enjoy at a very young age and for the rest of their lives. It builds self-reliance and confidence. It teaches teamwork and leadership. It’s social. And it’s just plain fun and makes for the BEST summer activity out there! Participating programs include: Bainbridge Island Parks & Rec Beach Camp at Sunset Bay Camp Gallagher

Recreational Boating Communities in 32 States Receive $14 Million Boost for Infrastructure Projects The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced nearly $14 million in grants to 32 states, commonwealths and territories for projects to support recreational boating through the Service’s Boating Infrastructure Grant (BIG) program. Grantees use BIG funds to construct, renovate, and maintain marinas and other facilities with features for transient boats (10 days or less) that are 26 feet or more in length and used for recreation. Grantees may also utilize funds to produce and distribute information and educational materials about the program and recreational boating. “Our recreational boats and boat docks share the water with fish and wildlife species critical to our ecology and economy,” said Service Director Dan Ashe. “Not only do these grants help to create safe and improved recreational boating facilities, and provide improved access to boating and fishing opportunities – they put people to work.” For a list of Tier 1 funds, view an excel file: http://1.usa.gov/1LtfgjW For the list of Tier 2 projects view a pdf file: http://1.usa.gov/22pKv3D For information about the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration program visit http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov

Lowtide The tusks of narwhals were sold as “unicorn horns” in the Middle Ages, commanding outlandish prices.
Maritime Trivia by B ryan
H enry
A narwhal’s tusk can measure 10 feet in length, with a circumference of eight inches at the base, and weigh over 20 pounds.
All whales propel themselves through water with an up-and-down motion of their tail fins, or flukes, while most fish move by wagging their tails in a side-to-side motion.
In humpback whales, while females produce other calls, only the males sing songs, which is a complex series of calls with a fixed structure.
Sperm whale oil, because it doesn’t congeal at low temperatures or liquefy at high temperatures, is the only oil used in satellites and space vehicles.
Toothed whales, such as the sperm whale, have a single blowhole; while baleen whales have paired blowholes. Sperm whale oil was used in making smokeless candles and for lubricating delicate devices/machinery. The sperm whale’s scientific name, Physeter macrocephalus, means “bigheaded blower”. It has the largest head and the largest brain of any animal that has ever lived on earth. A single male elephant seal may dominate a harem of as many as 1,000 females. Loggerhead sea turtles love spiny lobsters, and frequently dismantle wooden lobster traps to get them. Loggerhead sea turtles and eagle rays are the only two species known to crush the thick shells of adult queen conchs. Remoras have sometimes attached to divers, leaving a painful wound.

The ocean sunfish, or mola mola, has been observed floating on its side on the water’s surface as seagulls alight and pick off its parasites. Basking sharks, the world’s second largest fish after the whale shark, grows 30 or 40 feet, and have been known to breach out of water. Some triggerfish grow to two feet long and are sometimes dangerous to divers when defending their nests. They can remove flesh with bites. Sea snakes are preyed upon by sharks and sea eagles. Some sharks feed exclusively on smaller sharks, including members of their own species. Lobsters, crabs, octopus, skipjack tuna and many other marine species are cannibalistic. Some fish, such as anchovies, eat the eggs of their own species.

The Recovery Ladder™ from S.O.S. Marine is a dual–use device to help get a man overboard out of the water. It is made from dayglow polyester mesh offering two means of exit from the water. Able crew climbs ladder rungs. The dual–purpose design of the Recovery Ladder enables parbuckle lifting of a disabled, injured, or hypothermic crew, who either cannot or should not try to pull himself from
the water using the ladder rungs. To make this recovery, fasten a halyard or block and tackle to the bottom apex point of the Recovery Ladder. The MOB floats into the pocket formed by the Recovery Ladder, or onboard crew may pull him into the pocket with the Reelsling recovery line. Crew on board then raises the halyard to recover the MOB.

PETA Protests Treatment of Rail Meat: “People are Animals, too”
SAN FRANCISCO - A group of protesters recently assembled outside the venerable St. Vincent Yacht Club to protest treatment of race crews, specifically the subjugation of humans to the mind numbing humiliation of serving as human ballast during regattas. Protesters carried signs reading “Meat is dead” and “People are people too” while marching alongside larger than life paper mache effigies of a T-bone steaks wearing foulies, and links of sausage draped over a lifeline images fast becoming symbols for the movement. “It’s just cruel,” stated a protester who asked not to be named. “The treatment of rail meat is a global problem that has got to be addressed.” He went on to elaborate on the cramped conditions, inadequate time for activity and movement, cold and wet environment, and often inhumane treatment of race crews. “Sometimes they are addressed simply as ‘Meat’... I mean, who does that? I grew up on a farm and even the animals we ate had names.” In addition to raising awareness of the issue, the aim of the protest was to unveil “The pledge,” a list of recommended ethical on-board 28
best practices for enlightened racing vessels. Such practices include: • ’Free range’ crews should be allowed to stand and roam the vessel in order to forage and mate as they would in nature. • Use of only locally sourced, cruelty free winches and handles. • Empowerment focused, consensusbased decision making is to replace outdated power structure, designed to oppress the crew and bend them to the will of the skipper. • True ‘Vegan’ crews may use no human ballast at all. • Ceasing the use of vessel crews for the testing of makeup, experimental drugs, and emerging profanities. “We’re in the process of submitting The Pledge to the ISAF for global implementation, but for now we’re encouraging voluntary compliance and self-certification.” Skippers adopting the pledge will receive a framed certificate and a ribbon for participation that can be displayed in the place of awards for top finishes. More information can be found on various activism blogs or in hand written notes tacked to the bulletin board at your local independent co-op. April 2016

BAY OF BISCAYE - The custom racing vessel, Le Chat Schrödinger, astounded the worlds of sailing and quantum physics when the all French crew simultaneously shattered both the sailing speed record and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity by exceeding the theoretical speed of light along the Normandy coast on Wednesday. “We didn’t think this was possible” declared an astounded looking guy with wild hair and a tweedy jacket. (“Us either!” slurred a guy in dripping foulies that no one asked from a couple of barstools over.) “I mean, Einstein was like, really smart.” Claus Benoit, Chair of the French syndicate behind the experiment was ecstatic. “Zut alors, man! We didn’t think it would work, but we knew it would, you know?!” He grinned, revealing wine-stained teeth through a cloud of cigarette smoke, elated to achieve a victory for the formerly great nation. “Now they’ll have to take us seriously,” he continued and then began to play the accordion. The French, long known to be multihull specialists, enlisted hoards of engineers to develop a cutting edge multifractal sailing development center. The vessel that made this evolution possible was custom designed as a rigid wing, foiling craft made entirely of woven strands of light. “We tried chopped strand but it didn’t have the tensile strength to hold up to torque-heavy bending that happens in refraction.” Chosen for its inherent speed and absolute lack of mass, constructing the vessel entirely out of pure beams of light was an obvious choice over the more conventional carbon fiber. “Sure it’s untraditional, but light is just, you know, faster.” Benoit describes their success less as a breakthrough and more as a logical
The Nautical Enquirer A 48° North Special April Fools Report
progression of sailing technology. “I used to sail Nacra 20s back in the dark ages, when they were actually in the water.” For Benoit and many others, it all changed with the introduction of hydrofoils. “Foiling was a revelation, and I thought if it worked for sailing, why not light? Our engineers found that if we tweaked Einstein’s basic premise with J-foils, we could eek out just a little more.” Their breakthrough will be published as a doctoral dissertation titled, The Theory of Relativity’s AC72 Corollary, which reads: E = mc2 + foils “To be honest, we’re just beginning to understand it, but we think it has something to do with Bernoulli,” Benoit stated. “It’s an elegant expression of an incredibly complex bit of quantum mechanics, but for the layperson it essentially boils down to: everything is faster if you add foils.” It’s difficult to say what the new record is, considering that they actually finished before they started. Once the crew surpassed the speed of light, the vessel shattered into what onlookers described as an infinite array of fractals, time slowed, and several who were squinting into the brilliant flash we’re convinced they saw a likeness of themselves, but much older. “Kubrick totally nailed it,” a man said as he adjusted his beret. “Sacre bleu, absolutely nailed it.”
Product News Release: New Common Sense Boaters’ App from Darwin NS
SEATTLE - With all the fantastic breakthroughs in marine electronics, today’s mariners have almost everything they need to head out on the water with only the push of a button: depth, tides, courses, wind direction, wind speed, even the ability to make the sails go up and down or in and out. Using technology inspired by NASA, the modern yachtsman can have optimum angles of VMG and BFD as well as instant satellite updates on boat speed, right there at the tip of his fingers. But even with all this performance enhancing data, records from the US Coast Guard reveal one aspect of boating that could not be replaced by electronic aids, but had to be learned through knowledge and experience: common sense. That is, until now! Darwin NS is proud to present the Boater’s Common Sense App. Instead of taking boring courses and spending lots of time on the boat to get experience, add Common Sense to your laptop, tablet, or smart-phone.
With this app, boaters instantly have access to solutions and information to solve even the simplest problems, like: • Finding north using only a magnetic compass. • How to use the hands of an analog watch to figure out clockwise and counterclockwise. • Why your first mate can’t stop your 40’ yacht with a boat hook. • How to anchor with as few as four people. • How to get back to the marina when the engine on your sailboat suddenly quits on a windy day. These and many more useful tips and tricks will be yours for an initial cost of only $20, plus a subscription of only $1 per month for updates and more obvious solutions to problems that might endanger you, your family, and all who sail with you. Take advantage of the special yearly rate of only $36. Yes, let an old salt give you the finger of experience.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
A Historical Look at Islands Specifically Island #181, Saint Helena
other cases, islands are simply geologic platforms for life to come and go without much continental notice. Biologically, however, islands are terrific diversity incubators. None makes this point more than Madagascar (#175). It’s the 4th largest island in the world and is home to thousands of endemic species. Lemurs, chameleons, the catlike fossa, and trees with spiked trunks are a few examples. But it’s easy to conceive of unique biology due to such isolation. Perhaps more surprising is the origin of humans on Madagascar. About 1,000 years ago, some African natives went to sea. A few hundred miles eastward they found Madagascar. Incredibly, they found the island already populated by people unknown to them. The first settlers had arrived 1,300 years earlier, from Borneo (#96) in Southeast Asia. How they came from Borneo, the 3rd largest island, across 4,000 miles of mostly open ocean is inconceivable. The Polynesian people spreading across the Pacific is no less so (they also originated in Southeast Asia), but the scarcity of islands in the Indian Ocean made survival less likely. They did survive, and not just a few people. For an isolated population to thrive, more than a few people in a dugout canoes (or alien ships, perhaps?) had to make it. So, around the time the Spartans and Persians were at war in the Eastern Mediterranean, people from Borneo crossed an ocean and arrived at an uninhabited island teaming with strange creatures. And they thrived. If you’re wondering what any of this has to do Spike-trunked trees, unique to Madagascar (Island #175)
Since Saint Helena (Island #181) was discovered in 1502, the only way to reach it is by ocean. This is about to change as the first airport will open in May. For decades, most people arrived by five day voyage onboard the ship RMS Saint Helena from Cape Town. Relevant today, retired in May. Our passage on Totem was from Namibia and covered 1,263 miles in less than eight days. Postcard traveling in a wifi age is time to learn about and learn from 181 islands we’ve visited. Some islands are pieces in the puzzle of big history. Visiting Longwood, the home of Napoleon here on Saint Helena was particularly special for our history buff son Niall, as it was visiting New Britain Island (#59) in Papua New Guinea and wandering through the bunker where Japanese Admiral Yamamoto pondered war strategy on a Pacific map painted on a white concrete wall. Both figures made horrible history, and both spent their last night on remote islands. Many islands exist as a historical footnote, such was the case for Herman Melville’s desertion from the whaling ship Acushnet in 1841, when he wound up on Hiva Oa, French Polynesia (#17), and was taken captive by islanders.

with cruising, it’s this: cruising offers a sea level perspective. We don’t often to get to travel inland, but we have a great deal of time swimming, hiking, and sitting around a beach fire with locals. It’s amazing to experience languages, cultures, and customs so unusual that sometimes we spend months trying to decode what happened. Whether by dugout canoe and paddle or composite sailboat and GPS, humans have gotten around very well. But, technological advancement is misapplied as a scale for judgment against a simpler way of life. Even though it was most likely by dugout canoe that the people from Borneo traveled further than anyone from the Mediterranean had, today a dugout canoe is poverty on thriving Earth Island. So who is thriving? It’s hard to see, sometimes. When going up a river in Borneo and we saw Dyak people fishing from a dugout canoe in latte colored water poisoned with mercury from gold mine runoff. Also in Borneo, we learned that manufacturer’s demand for cheap palm oil is the cause of illegal deforestation and likely extinction of wild orangutans. We heard from a foreign doctor on Anjouan Island (#167) in Comoros that every island resident, nearly 300,000, had been given an experimental antimalarial vaccine. Being interrogated by the secret police in Jayapura, Indonesia on New Guinea Island (#68), led us to learn about the ongoing genocide of ethnic Papuans. And when we inquired about small fiberglass boats on a beach full of dugout canoes at Luf Island (#64) in Papua New Guinea, we were informed that an agreement between islanders and a foreign fishing company went bad. The foreigners began cyanide fishing, to temporarily stun fish for live delivery to restaurants. Coral isn’t stunned though, it’s killed dead. No more coral, no more fish, no more islanders. The islanders figured out what was happening and chased foreigners away (without their fiberglass boats) with machetes. Score one for team Dugout Canoe!
It’s not a game though. And the last example on a small island could’ve gone differently. There is no grocery store on Luf, all food is grown or caught locally. It’s subsistence living. The electrical grid is a few solar panels only; we have far more power generating capacity on Totem. There is no 911. It’s a different story, but not necessarily one all about thriving, in Maldives, a nation made up of 26 atolls with the highest natural point of land being about 10 feet. We visited 23 islands, north to south, Uligamu Island to Feydhoo Island (#139 - #161). People on the smallest islands are being forcibly moved to larger islands. There is no choice. According to locals, the combination of rising sea level and a corrupt government is forcing the change. Public benefits are withheld from islands where people aren’t progovernment. It’s not hard to tell progovernment islands; big cranes busy building wharfs and sea walls to hold back the encroaching sea. We’ve visited two other islands with displaced people. In the ‘60s, the British removed islanders from Ile
Boddam (#162) and the other habited islands in Chagos. The purpose was to provide a strategic Indian Ocean naval base for the USA. In return, they received discounted nuclear weapons. Napoleon and Yamamoto would approve. And, in the 1942, when Behan’s father, Maris, was Young Mairen gets a unique perspective of all a young boy living 181 islands, including St. Helena, shown here. on Bainbridge Island (#1), people of Japanese descent were interned incubation.

Thriving as it is, do you think the wasp will survive without Harbor, was the cause. Back on Saint Helena, on a hike the cricket? Or, like Napoleon, will the wasp with a British entomologist, we learned of an invasive species of wasp.

Business or Pleasure, AquaDrive will make your boat smoother, quieter and vibration free. The AquaDrive system solves a problem nearly a century old; the fact that marine engines are installed on soft engine mounts and attached almost rigidly to the propeller shaft. The very logic of AquaDrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating
on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement. Tests proved that the AquaDrive with its softer engine mountings can reduce vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% or more. For information, call Drivelines NW today.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
I asked a few friends if they thought there was coral growing in the Salish Sea and got some resounding laughs and some jokes about climate change. Rocky areas of the Salish Sea can be interesting and colorful places just brimming with sea life, but one of the most colorful creatures here is the orange cup coral. Yes, a coral, but these are unlike tropical corals that create vast colonies of calcium carbonate platforms. Remember, most tropical corals are actually symbiotic unions of two living things, a plant (algae) and an animal (a small polyp). Both work together to exist, and one can’t live without the other. Our northern corals aren’t like this, and we have a large variety of hard, soft, plastic, fan-shaped, and cup-shaped corals right here, right under your keel.
Orange cup corals are not colony-builders, but instead are solitary - unlike their tropical reef-creating relatives. Most of our local coral species are like this as well, and most grow on rocks. They don’t rely on an algae connection for food. Their alternative? They unfold their half-inch cups lined with tentacles to catch tiny, almost microscopic morsels drifting by. They are animals, after all, and this is just their way of fishing for dinner. Tropical coral needs to live close to the surface so its algae can have sunlight to produce food, but our corals often live in deeper and darker water – no algae, no need for light. You may see cup corals under docks or on rocks during very low tides, but most are deeper than that. They’re part of this amazing and diverse place many of us call home.

The Inside Passage:
Perspectives from a young woman for whom engines, crew, and comfort zones are optional.
By Kaia Bryce
In late 2015, a letter came into us here at 48° North from an ambitious young female sailor. It began: My name is Kaia. I have just returned from a summer of sailing, exploring, and working on the Central Coast of British Columbia on my C&C 25. Spending time on a boat in this part of the world is an inspiring and humbling experience for anyone who dares to venture there. I am a 20 year old woman and in my travels between Bella Coola and Victoria, I encountered no other young female solo sailors. I’m confident you will be as inspired by her story as we have been. She weaves in portions of her log throughout this story (italics). - Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North.

s a young child, I was terrified of sailing. My dad would take me out on his Cal 25 and gleefully blast around the Gulf Islands while I clung to the cockpit and cried. Aug 21, 2015: Queen Charlotte Strait, 10-15 NW. The going is slow and the waves begin to take their toll. Numa is the first to puke, and she seems startled by the size of the thing she disgorges on the cabin floor. She curls up and shuts out the chaotic, churning world. I also curl up, beside the tiller. Every time I lift my head to check for rocks or boats, nausea smokes my senses and renders me a weakly cursing shivering blob of a being clinging to the cockpit. Total misery, and total responsibility for the boat. Shit.

I bought my first sailboat – a C&C 25 called Sky – two summers ago. I was 19, and Sky was 41 – a potentially awkward relationship. In hunting for a boat, I wrote many a detailed letter in response to classifieds describing my ambitious sailing plans. “I see myself on extended stints up the central coast of BC,” I wrote, “Possibly doing research on coastal ecosystems.” I didn’t really know how this might happen, and even to me it seemed quite hyperbolic. I had sailed a lot with my dad, and had gradually grown to love it. But, I had never sailed on my own, and never further north than Desolation Sound. Shortly after acquiring Sky, I impulsively pitched myself to a April 2016

Masters student and her supervisor at the University of Victoria (where I am also a student) as a field assistant/research vessel captain, and ended up working on a study on marine conservation areas in the Gulf Islands the for the rest of the summer. I felt like the luckiest person in the world. We sailed out to most of the southern Gulf Islands to monitor fishing activity and interview recreational fishers. My sailing skills improved exponentially; there were humbling moments, and inspiring ones. The learning curve on both sailing and maintaining the boat were steep, and I was and still am truly fortunate to be surrounded by wise and well saltseasoned people who are generous in sharing their knowledge and skills, and often, tools. The next spring, I enrolled in a field course on wildlife research at a remote field station on Calvert Island on BC’s central coast. This lined up well with my goal to sail to the Great Bear Rainforest. My friend David came

He suggested that we fashion Sky with oars, and do the trip without using the engine. When there was wind, we sailed; when there wasn’t, we heaved on the oars. May 4, 2015: With a full complement of sails and a 13 ft pair of wooden oars, “Sky” is well (?) equipped to be propelled without fossil fuels. I had been a little skeptical about the oars. It takes an enormous investment of energy and time to row a 6,000 lb boat that doesn’t have oarlocks, and when
the current is against us, we make minimal headway. However, once the tide switches, we stop floundering around and start covering ground at a respectable 2.5 kts. May 13, 2015: Minstrel Island. Beauty in slow decay. Many explorers, treasure hunters and ransackers have minced across these derelict decks. Tethered to a moldy dock along with a troupe of prawn fishermen and women, the busted windows of sunken-eyed houses simultaneously entice and creep me out. We still haven’t used our engine. We realize we would actually be going faster if we weren’t carrying so much freaking gasoline. Many metaphors are born from sailing. At first, the painfully slow progress (hours and hours of sitting in a glassy Strait of Georgia) drove me nuts. But to rely on the unreliable – the weather – to propel you to a destination is a bootcamp for your soul. It causes you to savor the distance you earn, and look carefully at the serendipitous beauty of your surroundings. Speed-

May 19, 2015: Cape Caution. 15-20 NW. Prior to embarking, everyone I talked to did their best to worry me about it. It’s good to have a healthy dose of apprehension about significant places – particularly places with an exceptionally high capacity for mayhem and brutality, with names like ‘Cape Caution.’ These places are to be respected, but given reasonable weather conditions, as it turns out, they can be traversed with relative ease. We arrived in Pruth Bay, Calvert Island the night before my field course started. I spent the rest of summer studying and working at the research station. David took off to fight forest fires in central British Columbia. On one of my weeks off from work, I sailed to Bella Coola, where a permanent crew-member joined the boat, and in August, I sailed back to the Victoria with her. Kaia’s C&C 25, “Sky,” was home, travel partner, and research vessel. wise, we were wildly outshone by the R2AK. We weren’t in a rush, so it took three weeks to cover the nearly 500 nm, but we got really good at milking the winds and currents to our advantage. We anchored under sail in unfamiliar bays in high winds at night, and figured out how to communicate with each other when we got scared and frustrated. We also screwed up, and learned from our mistakes – sometimes the dumbest mistakes.
changing only in force. There is a gale warning for the afternoon and I am a little apprehensive about setting out. We launch into Johnstone before the gale crashes in, reefed to the max. By this point, being heeled over 30º is normal. I would have been scared of this combination of wind and waves before.
July 19, 2015: Firvale. Dust, dry fields, and blue, blue sky collect between the mountains that cup a valley. In the valley is a barn in which a kitten, destined to chase the wind and strike fear into the hearts of fish and beach mice, was born two months ago. Numa is tiny, with tufty ears, paws with potential, and a healthy sparkle in her eyes.
May 12, 2015: The one time I don’t double-check the shackle… David hauls on the main halyard and it flies up the mast. We’ve left Helmcken Island and are in Johnstone Strait. In a climbing harness, I’m hoisted up the mast under sail. The Strait is a little squirrelly: 20 kt westerlies have generated a steep and angular sea surface. Other times we amazed ourselves, and Sky was consistently impressive in her ability to sail into the wind, as, from the day we left Victoria to the day we arrived in Calvert Island, it blew northwesterlies, and only northwesterlies. May 10, 2015: Johnstone Strait. It’s blustery out. The NW is and will be relentless for the foreseeable future, 40

too much wind out there. You have no one to argue with but yourself. Sometimes, my decisions landed me in uncomfortable and frightening scenarios at which point I again wished I had someone else to take the tiller while I switched to the storm jib.
To adventure is to leave your comforts behind, and without leaving comfort behind, little learning can happen. There are different ways of leaving your comfort zone. I loved being completely alone on my boat; the hardest part was often just making decisions, such as whether there is

On the 18th of August, after four months of living aboard my small boat in the rainforest coast, I set off southbound on Sky with Numa. I missed my mother. I did not try to do it engine-less, but it was a relief to know that should the engine fail, I had some tried and well tested old-fashioned options. Aug 19, 2015: Penrose Islands. I wake to rain and a dead mouse in my tea mug. Last night Numa launched out of bed into the cockpit, standing on her hind legs staring off the deck like a guard. Pounce! Two hours of mouse-chasing through the cluttered boat ensued. No idea where the poor little thing came from, but he picked the wrong boat to stow away on… The Central Coast is a rare and intricate treasure map, and traveling through it is a privilege. It is convenient and too easy to slide through these sparsely populated landscapes without acknowledging the human history here. These faraway places that we imagine to be wild zones of refuge from the chaos of “civilized society,” to which we ultimately plan to return, are in reality foundational to communities and cultures that have occupied them for timescales beyond our imaginations.

Install a Marine Head

By Jack and Alex Wilken
Marine sanitation systems have had their own process of evolution over the years. The present state of this part of your vessel should be easy to use, low maintenance, and odor free. In this article, we will cover the installation of manual marine toilets, but some of these can be easily converted to electric. Any toilet installation begins with choosing which toilet works best for you. There are different designs in toilets, but they all perform the same function - take whatever is in the bowl and send it on its way to the Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) or overboard. There are several styles of toilets, the most common of these being a piston in a perpendicular, side-mounted cylinder pump (Figure 1). These all look similar, but it is somewhat an example of ‘you get what you pay for,’ in the sense of reliability and longevity. This is specifically the case in the range of plastic ones. There are some classic, bronze British-built toilets which are handmade and exceptional both in
how they function and how much they cost. Also, there are two US-built, bronze, in-line, piston toilets (Figure 1) that cost about four times as much as their higher-end plastic, side-mounted pump cousins do. But, they will move a lot of stuff, if you get our meaning. The common variety side-mount pump can be as simple as a handle screwed to the end of the piston rod, or may be a lever-actuated piston that allows you to exert more force with less effort (Figure 2, page 44). Either of these (and, in fact, all the toilets on the market) will do pretty much the same job. The question is how easy it will pump and how long before it needs rebuilding or jams up. None of them are going to pass undigested large objects or lots of 8-ply toilet paper. There is one toilet that deserves special mention, if for no other reason than its uniqueness: that is the “Lavac,” which is a bowl with a lid that seals, has a 1½” outlet at the bottom of the base, and a ¾” inlet at the top of the
Figure 1: “A” is a side-mounted piston pump plastic toilet and “C” is just above the arrowed line indicating the pump suction direction. “B” is an in-line, bronze piston pump toilet, and “D” is next to the arrowed line indicating its direction.

bowl. A manual diaphragm bilge pump is plumbed to the outlet, and, when pumped with the lid down, a vacuum is created which both empties the bowl and pulls water in to flush the toilet. The discharge side is the same as other toilets where you use a vented loop, but the intake hose is fitted with a loop having a small hole in it instead of a one-way valve. A story from the past when a young family member came to visit: while sitting on a Lavac, she stuck the handle into the pump and moved it up and down, thereby sealing herself to the toilet. It was some time before she realized that if she kept moving the handle she was not going to be released by the toilet! No matter which toilet you choose, the next step is to locate where all the hose-runs will work and where the base can be securely thru-bolted with large washers, or the equivalent. The hoses are sized by their inside diameter (ID) which should be a little tight on the fitting that has the same dimension. The discharge side of this operation needs to be concerned with being odor-free. All of the hoses on the market will eventually smell if the stuff coming out of the toilet is left sitting in it, so it is important to make as much of the system as self-draining as possible after each flush. It is impossible to make all the hose-runs go downhill in the out direction, so we use hard PVC pipe in those sections where water and digested stuff will sit. This should keep you odor free for a long time. The PVC pipe connections can be made by using a short length of hose with only the PVC to PVC connections being glued (Figure 3, page 44). The hoseruns that have bends in them need to be reinforced with a metal or plastic helix to keep them from collapsing. Be careful not to exceed the recommended bend radius, and it should have a 43
or with PVC pipe it will be slip-on for gluing. With tapered pipe, you can use Teflon tape, being careful to stay one thread back from the end so you do not wind up with bits of tape loose in the system to clog something up. There are also many thread sealants available (do not use thread lock compounds), but read the product recommendations carefully to make sure it applies to the material you are using. Care should also be taken not to use metal pipe fittings in female plastic threaded fittings as they can easily crack them Figure 2: These two toilets are side-mount piston pump style, but “A” indicates the lever with the wedging force of the tapered that will make it easier to pump. “B” has a handle screwed to the end of the piston rod with threads.

never close and therefore is of no value. In the case of the Lavac, where the loop has a small hole to break the vacuum, this lets in some air, but it is of no consequence. It may, however, be the source of odor. The last device in the system we are going to write about is the Y-valve, or diverter valve. The Y-valve is used to direct the discharge from your toilet to either a MSD or overboard. Y-valves are made in different configurations. Some will make it easier to operate or mount - features like a handle that mounts through a bulkhead, or the in and out ports at different angles. An important thing to watch for is a way to secure the Y-valve in “no discharge” position. This is required by the USCG. One of the biggest factors having to do with problems with marine toilets is what you try to flush down them, but having said that, the bronze inline and then higher end plastic side pumps will give you longer, trouble-free sailing and pumping.

If you can afford the consumption of fresh water, using it to flush will help to reduce odor and gives some more choices in toilet pumps.

T he S ailmaker S essions Understanding Downwind Sail Inventory for PHRF Boats By Alex Simanis, of Ballard Sails The Sailmaker Sessions is a new recurring series in 48° North, where we will feature a different local sailmaker in two formats. Each magazine will have an informational article written by the featured sailmaker. The topics will be wide ranging. Part of being a sailmaker is sharing the vast knowledge they’ve accumulated with their clients, and now, some of that knowledge and experience is available here for all of us to enjoy. As a complement to the informational article in the magazine, the featured sailmaker will participate in an interview that will be published on the new www.48north.com. The purpose of these interviews is to share the sailmaker’s story, their background, and their current interests, goals, and passions in the world of sailing.
O
ne of the biggest questions we get in the loft is, “What spinnakers should I have to be competitive?” With modern spinnaker coding (which uses letters and numbers) and fabrics (which use the numerical cloth-weight in ounces), it can get very confusing for the sailor with an average PHRF boat. In the modern day, it is not just sport boats or other designs with bow sprits that can effectively fly asymmetrical spinnakers (A-sails). Boats that use standard spinnaker poles off the mast,
as is the case for most PHRF racers, are allowed to and probably should have one or two asymmetrical spinnakers in the inventory to complement the symmetrical chutes already in the quiver. Hopefully this outline of ranges and purposes sheds some light on the kind of sail you’d find most useful. For years, we raced boats with the ½ oz., ¾ oz., 1.5 oz. or even 2.2 oz.! It was all straight-forward and made it easy to outfit a boat. However, as always, grand prix racing development
This picture shows a tack line with the addition of guys used to pull the tack of this A3 back. In order to jibe the asymmetric, the guy is eased forward while the tackline is pulled on. The pole is then removed from the guy and you can jibe. Once the sail is filled, the new guy can be fitted in the pole, tackline eased and pole can be pulled back. When running with an A2 or A4, it can be pulled back just as far as a symmetric sail. 46

trickled down into the weekend warrior fleets. When you look to order sails now, there are many designations that seem like gibberish. For a long time in the northwest, you were penalized for carrying both symmetrical and asymmetric spinnakers, but that penalty is now long gone. Many boats here carry a combination of both. This can definitely result in crossover confusion, but can prove to be an extremely useful arsenal. Let’s start with sail designations and what they really mean. For basic wind angles and wind speeds, we can use the example of a masthead J/29, a moderate displacement boat that is well known and commonly used in our area and utilizes a traditional pole system. For all intents and purposes, an “A” in a sail designation says that the sail is asymmetrical. An “S” will mean symmetrical. Even numbers designate running sails, and odd numbers designate reaching sails. As the numbers increase so does the wind strength for which they are intended. This is also matched by an increase in cloth weight. A1: Use in 0 - 6 knots true wind speed, the A1 usually gets sailed with apparent wind angles between 60° 90°. This sail is generally ½ oz. material and would be 90% of your big, full size spinnaker. The reduced sail area makes this a weapon, as it is easy to fill after the jibe, it does not drag in the water, and there is less fabric to fill in the light winds. A1.5: 6 - 12 knots true wind speed range. This gets used from 80° - 145° apparent wind angle. It’s generally made of ½ oz. material and would be full size. The A1.5 is designated as a light, running spinnaker. A2: 10 - 20 knots true wind speed. A good sail for 90° - 160° apparent wind
angle, and is generally constructed from .6 or .75 oz. fabric. Designated as medium running A-sail, it is full size. This sail will be big in the head to get full projection to windward, and fairly round in the leech to give power when soaking low. A3: This kite is a versatile one. These usually work nicely from 60° - 120° apparent wind, depending on wind strength. This sail is constructed from .75 - 1oz. material and is designated to be a medium reaching A-sail. This spinnaker will be 90% the size of your biggest spinnaker. It has a fairly flat head with a twisted leech to keep the slot open between the main and spinnaker when reaching. The A3 can be used as a heavy runner, especially when flown from a spinnaker pole, when the A4 is too powerful. A4: 18 - 30+ true wind speed range, and used from 120° - 165° apparent wind angle. Constructed from .75 - 1oz. material. This sail is the heavy runner and will be slightly smaller than the A2 with a bit more twist in the leech and a flatter head to keep the boat more in control. A5: A true “Chicken Kite.” This sail will be 85% of full size and most likely constructed from 1 - 1.5 oz. fabric. This spinnaker is very useful on a tight reach when the breeze is on, or running in 30 knots+. Keep in mind that all of these sails have crossovers. The wind angles and wind speeds that they are designed for should have a bit of overlap. When choosing asymmetrical spinnakers for the inventory, it is very important to remember that they are more efficient, but are way more condition-dependent. We like to think of A-sails as big jibs or genoas. They all have specific wind ranges and uses where they work properly. The symmetrical spinnaker system is very similar, although much simpler, since the sails are less wind strength dependent. S1: Used in 0 - 6 knots, this is the light reacher. It is small with narrow shoulders to set well in light breeze, and is usually made out of .4 or .5 oz. fabric. This sail is rarely used anymore, because asymmetricals are so much more efficient in this wind range. S1.5: This kite is used from 6 - 15 knots true and is usually constructed
from .4 or .5 oz. fabric. This is a full sized light runner. S2: 12 - 25 knots true wind range. This medium running sail is usually constructed from .6 or .75 oz. fabric. It is full sized with big, projected shoulders for running deep. S4: This sail is good in 22 - 35 knots of true wind. Usually constructed from 1 - 1.5 oz. fabric, this heavy runner will be about 90% of your full sized spinnaker and doubles as a reacher. It is all well and good to know what the designations are and what the intention is of all of these sails may be. Now you are left with the question of, “what sails should I have on my boat to be competitive in Puget Sound?” If you are going to exclusively buoy race your boat, to me the answer is fairly simple. Symmetrical spinnakers are easy to jibe, easy to rig, and go through a broad range of wind conditions. The sure bet is to go with an S1.5, and an S2, and an S4. These three sails will get your boat through 98% of the wind conditions that you will see buoy racing on the Sound. When you look at adding A-sails to your inventory, you will have to add some rigging as well. Where before, all you had to worry about was two sheets, a topping lift, and a foreguy, you will have to add two guys and a tack line to your setup in order to use the asymmetric on your spinnaker pole. This is the reason why it takes a little longer to jibe the asymmetricals. When you go to jibe, the pole has to be eased while the tack line is tensioned and the pole is dropped. The spinnaker is then jibed inside out, and the guy goes back onto the pole, which is pulled back while easing the tackline. This process does take some additional time, but the A-Sails are more efficient in straight line sailing. On an A2, for instance, you can pull the pole all the way back just like a symmetrical. The A-Sails are just more efficient because the air enters at the luff and exits out of the back nicely through an open, twisted leech. This efficiency advantage goes away for A-Sails when you are running square downwind. At this point, it is mostly about projected sail area. A properly designed A2 and S2 should be very similar in that regard. If you’re not only buoy racing, the www.48North.com
April 2016
question remains, how are going to use your boat and what A-sails should be added to your inventory? If you do a mix of racing around the cans and mid-distance races, the addition of an A1 will help on those distance races when it’s super light days when a buoy race would be called off and you are just trying to sail to the next puff. An A3 in this inventory would be good as well, as it will give you an edge in a free reaching leg over a boat that does not have a reacher in the inventory. The A3 on the pole can take the place of your S4 in this instance, so you do not end up carrying too many sails aboard. In the instance where the boat is only sailed in long distance races, or you are prepping for a Vic-Maui, Pacific Cup, or something of that nature, a full asymmetrical inventory will be faster and more efficient. The slight increase in time taken to jibe is far outweighed by straight-line speed. In breezy conditions, the A-Sails keep the boat from rolling around downwind as much, and induce more lift than symmetricals, thanks to that even entry/exit flow across the sail. This results in less turbulence within the sail edges. While it’s good to understand the categorization, each boat sails downwind differently. The combination of both symmetric and asymmetric spinnakers will turbocharge your inventory and may give you a desired competitive edge.

The Clipper Race Stopover in Seattle: Stories from Past Participants from the PNW and Why You Should Be Excited By Joe Cline
The Clipper Round the World Race is coming to Seattle this month. That is cool. 70’ boats capable of hitting speeds above 30 knots. Very cool. Twelve of those boats racing one design across the Pacific from Quindao, China (their longest leg), finishing Leg 6 of the 20152016 edition of the race right here in the Sound before turning around to begin Leg 7, meanwhile bringing almost 200 amateurs-turned-ocean-racers into the heart of Seattle… Well, that’s pretty extraordinary. I’ll be honest, I haven’t really known what to make of Clipper Race coverage in the past. It has felt difficult to delineate between race coverage and promotional materials from the Clipper Race, which is a business. I love to follow amateur sailing, but I admit that there has been something about the pay-to-play approach that has kept me from feeling fully enthusiastic. But, as always seems to 48
be the case, as you get to know more about something – particularly the people involved – preconceptions fade and are replaced by interest, excitement, and a feeling of personal involvement. That has certainly been my experience as I’ve learned more about the race in preparation for their Seattle landfall in late April. Maybe you already love and keenly follow the Clipper, or perhaps, like me, you were a bit of a skeptic. My goal with this article is to share a few of the stories from two of our local sailors who have been involved in the race. I hope it will inspire you as tales of adventure and personal growth often can. But, I also hope that it will inspire you to be a part of this Seattle stopover event. I think our sailing community will enjoy participating. And, I’m confident that the amateur sailors from around the world who are coming to Seattle will love to be greeted with the genuine April 2016

enthusiasm that they deserve. Sir Robin Knox-Johnston conceived of the Clipper Round the World Race with Clipper co-founder, William Ward. The first race was run in 1996. KnoxJohnston, among a lifetime of other offshore sailing accomplishments, won the now-infamous Sunday Times Golden Globe Race (the first nonstop round the world race held in the late 1960s). The Clipper has grown in its ten-edition history, from eight boats to ten and now to twelve. The boats being raced in this edition are the third Clipper design iteration, the Clipper 70, which are purpose-built 70’ performance monohulls that were introduced for the 2013-2014 Clipper Race. Over the years, the boats, the skippers, the stopovers, and, of course, the sailors have all changed. The unifying factor with the Clipper has always been the opportunity

Obviously, Eric was successful in he gushed again about the Southern Eric Holden grew up living aboard Ocean. “I hope it’s not my last trip the Clipper.

of life that the sailing part sometimes seems less important. For me that was probably the biggest reward – that experience I gained.” After chatting with Eric, my next call was a former sailing school client during my time at Seattle Sailing Club, John Xu. John was a promising sailing student and race program participant, who one day informed me that he’d signed up to do a leg of the Clipper. A what? Where? When? WHOA, that’s awesome! It was thanks to John that I became really aware of the Clipper Race. John had enjoyed crewing on race boats, most notably excelling on the bow of a J/105, but this seemed like a massive and exciting step! John thought back on it during our call and said, “I’d been doing a lot of buoy racing, and I began looking for opportunities to do something different, specifically an ocean crossing.” John wound up doing the leg from Brisbane, Australia, to Singapore, to Qingdao, China. As luck would have it, a specific equipment failure, the bottlescrew on the forestay, on three boats forced the fleet to cut the final leg short and motor a few hundred miles to Hong Kong.
I can remember John telling me about some of the training that was going to be required – mainly I recall that it seemed extensive. Well, it certainly must be, now that I know that almost half of the participants have never sailed before. I was eager to learn more about the training from someone who had completed the training and a leg of the race. John explained that, “Clipper has three levels of training, each of which is a week. To fit my work schedule, I had to find three consecutive weeks to do all of the trainings. So, I spent about a month in the UK doing all the training.” Because I had known John as a sailing student, I was curious to know how the Clipper training experience was similar or different from what he had already learned. “Some of it is very similar. The main difference is being on the bigger boat. In one perspective, it’s more intimidating, but it feels safer in a way because the boat feels so much more stable. But there are more dangers lurking around with all that power. The Clipper focus is providing enough knowledge that the sailing operations work safely on these boats. For the Level One training, it

was day trips in Portsmouth. For Level Two, you sail through the night back and forth across the English Channel. It trains you how to deal with being on watch, how to sail at night, and how to deal with weather. During my Level Two training, we had a weather system come in and it was quite wavy and a lot of us were seasick. Experiencing for the first time – what it’s like to sail in heavy wind and big waves, and learning how to manage it – was very good training.” I wanted to learn about John’s relationship with his skipper, Gareth Glover. John described Gareth as a man of few words who had a laid back approach. As I understood it from John, Captain Glover was interested in letting the crew determine certain aspects of the dynamics on board. Obviously safety was paramount and all decisions ran through the skipper, but how the group operated was mostly left up to the crew. “On our boat, everyone got to take turns driving and playing different roles,” John told me. “It was more coaching-oriented.” I noted that this was different than the dynamic that skipper Eric Holden had prioritized on his boat.

I asked John to share his greatest challenge and biggest highlights. Several times, he mentioned the seasickness that plagued him and his crewmates for the first few days. I asked about storms, and he felt that the biggest challenge with heavy air sailing was the sail changes more than the experience of being out in a blow. For John, the biggest highlights were in the opportunity for personal progression, particularly on the helm, and the chance to have crossed an ocean. After talking with John about this and learning about his sailing goals going forward, there was one particular aspect where he felt the most personal value from his Clipper experience, and it remains his number one focus. “I had spent so much of my time learning to be a good crew, I really wanted to get a lot of practice driving. One of the things that was unique about driving in the Clipper Race is that you’re mostly driving to a compass heading, not just maximizing point or depth. You steer to a heading and trim the sails for speed. All that time at the helm was a big highlight of the Clipper for me. And thinking about what I want to
do next, driving is still my main focus. It will be on a smaller boat, though! I’d like to try some Laser sailing.” U l t i m a t e l y, individual stories like those from Eric and John weave together the tapestry of the Clipper experience. Each person, skipper and crew, who sail into Seattle this month has done something significant, has struggled and grown, and has just crossed the biggest water. One of them, Seattle-based John Xu training in England prior to his Yuko Kikuchi, is a Clipper Leg from Brisbane to Singapore to Quindao. Seattle resident and is returning home upon completion the festivities, and bidding them safe of this leg.

Galley Essentials with Amanda Time to go bananas
We departed San Diego's Shelter Island the first week of April last year in time to get clear of the busy channel, which we then shared with two large cruise ships, before sunset. The night passage was quiet and our plan to arrive at Ensenada harbor entrance just after sunrise worked perfectly. After docking at Baja Naval boatyard marina and a few hours spent checking in at the CIS office, we were free to enjoy town. Our new expedition crew of six were eager to check out a restaurant recommendation from the marina staff while I was more in the mood for a Mexican experience, so John and I headed downtown. We were hoping to re-discover a gallery from an earlier visit and were thrilled to find Fausto Polanco was still at its corner location. Set in a historic courtyard hotel, the store is a combination of folk art and custom furniture with each of the small hotel rooms decorated in different themes. I was captivated by the five-foot tall paper mache statues celebrating the Day of the Dead, but doubted they’d fit with Mahina Tiare’s tropical décor. Soon in need of sustenance we ventured off to a sidewalk restaurant for a spicy quinoa soup and salad.

Chilly but favorable winds had us anchoring in time for a tabbouleh lunch after which we met the only two (out of 50) residents currently in the small village at this barren and mountainous fishing outpost. The father and son were remodeling their shack and related that everyone had left for a few days as a lobster and abalone fisheries test was underway.

The skies were clearing, and when we arrived on the course we had a 10-15 knot southeasterly, which taxed the brains of the tacticians out there. Sailing into the beach to catch the outflow is always recommended, as is sailing toward the dominant breeze, however you could nearly lay the rock, right off the starting line. This also begged the question of which end to start on, and kept us thinking right up until it was our turn to roll the dice. By the time the big money fleets hit the line, the breeze was so far east that you could definitely lay the Rock, even from the pin end.

the way to the Rock. The little boats got there first, but not by much! Once around, kite choice was critical. We played the symmetrical card (dang, not it!), the Code 0 card (double dang, not it!) and finally the A1 (ding! ding! Winner), all the while the breeze kept going east… and fading. Pretty soon we were adrift in the middle of the Sound. Up ahead, it sort of looked like headsails on Smoke and Glory? Friday night bar wisdom at Hattie’s Hat creeps back into my mind. A northerly? Really? Brain recalculating… As the breeze filled from the northwest and the RC called a short course finish at the north mark, our fate was sealed. We enjoyed a mid-pack finish on an amazing spring day with old friends and a few new ones. The clubhouse was packed, with Team Bravo Zulu tending bar and serving the dinner, and a good time was had by all. Showing us how it’s done, Farr 44 Tabu came out on top in the Casual Class, the small and mighty Deiter Creitz drove the Three Ring Circus to Fleet 1 victory, and Jolly Green came out on top of Division 2. The irrepressible Gaucho crew won Division 3, and Last Tango was first (and not Last!) in Fleet 4, despite

Blakely Rock Race is also the tribute race for our dear friend Kelly O’Neil Hensen. Kelly had a smile for everyone and a little inflatable photo boat named Smile. She was famous for bringing fresh flowers aboard, especially daffodils in the spring, plus her sweet golden retriever, Whidbey.
With so many new sailors to the area, there are lots of people who never met Kelly and must wonder about the daffodils some boats still carry on the backstay for the race. It was a favorite flower, a favorite race, very near the anniversary of when we lost her. That year, we were all asked to bring daffodils and toss them in the water at Blakely Rock as a tribute. There were lots of tears that year at the Rock. If you never got to meet her, trust me, you would have liked her. Next year, bring daffodils and toss them in the water at the Rock! And SMILE! If she knew you, she would have liked you. It was just her way. by Stephanie Schwenk Photos by Jan Anderson results: www.cycseattle.org

J/105s. Wind was in the low 20s when we crossed the line, and soon we were settled in for a long downwind run. There was what seemed like an entire forest of logs and debris on the course, but we managed to avoid almost all of it with a vigilant look out. The sun was peeking through, the spinnaker was flying, wind was building with gusts into the 30s, and we were surfing waves. Our jibes were beautiful, the boat was in control, and the spinnaker trimmer was heard to let out an uncharacteristic “Wahoo” during a particularly strong puff as our boat speed registered 16.3 (don’t judge me – it was fun!). As we strained our eyes to see the mark, we saw Dos, way ahead,

could no longer see any of the 105s except More Jubilee. We just couldn’t shake her, though our lead remained fairly stable. We tried to avoid getting tangled in the tacking duels of the larger boats, and asked our arms to hold out a little longer. It was then that our fortunes changed. I imagine we will speculate for a long time about exactly what happened, but what I know for sure is that our jib tore. We immediately tried to furl it to stop further damage, but the furl ended up so tight we ran out of furling line and a foot or so of sail on each side of the tear was still flapping. We debated trying to take it down or constrain the parts that were problematic, but decided to sail on. The exposed jib slowed us down a bit while it shredded itself. We would be finishing the race with just our main, and we would have to endure the pitying looks of passing boats. More Jubilee made her way by, but not as quickly as I expected. While the rest of us were suddenly rendered nothing more than ballast, I have to give major props to our driver and main trimmer who kept our boat

We were approaching the finish, and they were approaching us, but we managed to hang onto our lead, and we still finished second in our class.

T
he 2016 Gig Harbor Yacht Club Islands Race, the final of a fourrace Southern Sound Series, looked to be a non-race from the start with
minimal winds throughout the day. Remarkably, over half the fleet was able to squeeze a little juice out of the turnip and complete the race with a finish at the north end. Despite the light breeze and some adverse current at the start, the Race Committee was determined to give the fleet a chance to work with what Mother Nature provided. It was a struggle just to get to the line. Most of the boats that hung near the start line just outside of Gig Harbor (a reverse start) were able to stretch away from the rest of the fleet, but it certainly

took patience. Merry Maker sneaked out to open up an early lead. Three and a half hours into the race, one third of the fleet still had not made Olalla, but Dos and McSwoosh were reeling in Merrymaker. By then the fleet had really split with the back half struggling to get past Camp Sealth on Vashon Island. Just north of Fragaria a northerly began to fill which provided boat speed and encouragement until it faded at the southern end of Blake Island. Boats that were willing to put in the day were rewarded when a
“Merry Maker” sneaked out to open up an early lead.

Brad Butler and crew, sailing Dos in class 5, did it again, finishing a full 20 minutes ahead of the next boat. In that same class, Sidewinder and Slick corrected less than a minute apart for second and third overall respectively. Merry Maker hung on to finish first overall in the Commodore fleet.
“The race committee took a real chance starting the race in such light air, but we never would have finished if they hadn’t taken this gutsy move,” one racer commented. Despite the lack of wind, the rain held off for the most part and it was another good Pacific Northwest race day. by Joan and Jaime Storkman photos by Jan Anderson results: http://ssssclub.com

Deadline For Race to Alaska Registration April 15
Now in its second year, the Northwest Maritime Center ’s Race to Alaska (R2AK.com) is a couple of weeks away from the racer entry deadline on April 15. There are three inevitables in life—death, taxes, and the cutoff for the R2AK! Starting in Port Townsend, Washington, and finishing in Ketchikan, Alaska, the 750 mile race through the Inside Passage challenges entrants with squalls, killer whales, and tidal currents that run upwards of 20 miles per hour. Based on the hardest kind of simplicity, R2AK is entirely selfsupported, with no supply drops, and offers nothing in the way of a safetynet. Any boat without an engine can enter and there are no classes or handicaps. First prize is $10,000. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Over 35 teams have been accepted into the race on vessels ranging from large racing sailboats, daysailers, paddled craft, and one guy on a stand-up paddle board. Organizers are expecting a swell of applicants as the deadline for entries draws near. There is an undisclosed maximum number of teams that will be allowed to enter. 2016 racer application packets are located on the official race website, R2AK.com Prospective racers also will find detailed information about the course, last year ’s race, and other daunting facts about this all-in, slightly bonkers race unlike any other in the world. For more information about the Race to Alaska, please contact our esteemed Race Boss, Daniel Evans, at raceboss@r2ak.com

he Northwest Interscholastic Sailing Association (NWISA) kicked off the 2016 High School spring sailing season with two regional regattas on March 5. The South Regional, hosted by Central Kitsap High School sailing team, saw 22 teams compete on Dye’s Inlet, while the North Regional, hosted by the Oak Harbor High School sailing team, had 18 teams sailing off the city front at Oak Harbor. Over 150 high school sailors participated in both day-long regional regattas. The racing continued with the Sail Sandpoint Combined Division Regatta on March 12 and 13 with 160 sailors, 20 teams and 40 boats on the start line in both gold and silver fleets, making it the largest NWISA regatta ever. Mother Nature threw the kitchen sink at the competitors both days, with winds gusting over 30 knots a few times on Saturday. The Sunday racing was halted around noon as a big storm blew through the PNW. Sehome HS won the gold division while Gig Harbor HS won silver. The Gorge Sailing Team hosted the NWISA Oregon HS Sailing series #1 on March 12 and 13 completing 18 races in winds from 2-28 knots over

the two days. The racing was very close with Hood River HS edging out Newport HS for the regatta win. High School sailing is growing in the PNW; 39 schools are currently registered with NWISA for 2016. Those teams are introducing the sport of sailing to many new families, which will help bring new life and energy into our community sailing clubs and yacht clubs. The ISSA Baker Team Race

swiftsure yachts The logbook for April 2016
Artful Dodger 2001 HR 39 $265,000
Swiftsure Yachts is pleased to offer two Hallberg-Rassy 39s for sale; a 2001 in Seattle and a 2000 in San Francisco. Both boats are found fully outfitted yet have subtle layout and rigging difference. Take your pick; you won’t go wrong. The Myyachi Hallberg-Rassy 39 is an 2000 HR 39 $259,000 ideal sized yacht; small enough to day sail yet large enough to comfortably circumnavigate. Hallberg-Rassy built 209 of this model between 1991 and 2003. An HR39 won its class in the ARC rally and then went on to circumnavigate. Storage is phenomenal for a sub-40-foot boat while comfort is optimized through Hallberg-Rassy’s evolutionary (vs. revolutionary) boat design program. The quality of space is excellent and ergonomics of the settees, cockpit and deck layout leave owners appreciating their boats more and more with time.
