Boat Life’s Simplicity Rings True A sailor’s summer in the Pacific Northwest is one of the most jam-packed things I can imagine. It certainly (and fortunately) has been for me, and I know I’m not alone. Since we put our last magazine to bed, I’ve gotten to spend several days at the start of Race to Alaska (page 34), I sailed in the Melges 24 Canadian National Championship (page 54), I spent the 4th of July weekend in the San Juans, I got to show a family that’s new to sailing how to fly a spinnaker, I spent a whirlwind day at Whidbey Island Race Week (page 46), and I’ve watched the sun set behind the Olympic Mountain panorama from the water probably a dozen times. I am so, so lucky. We sailors all are! I’ve had too many perfect moments from this magnificent July to pick a favorite, but I had a memorably and timelessly beautiful evening on the bow of some friends’ boat-home inside the marina that is a clear contender. As we sat on the non-skid and watched the sun go down, we didn’t need furniture or entertainment or any land-lubberly stuff. We were surrounded by so many things that make the waters of this region our happy place. We poked fun at slip-side neighbors about crabbing since they still had the tags on their crabless pots. A canine vistor from a nearby boat came and jumped aboard for a bit. Another human friend paddled his dinghy from the next dock – he didn’t even want a beer, just a moment to also sit sort-of-comfortably on the bow and enjoy the twilight together. A seal swam by, and our dinghy-rowing friend wondered if that’s the same little guy who has been jumping up onto his swimstep in the middle of the night, shaking the boat, as he said, “like an tsunami!” We talked about sailing and everything – about getting new lifelines, sending a rigger up the mast, needing to re-varnish the toe rail (already!), and the friendly fleet we frequently race in; but we also shot the breeze about skiing and money and relationships and work and the good life. A Great Blue Heron trumpeted emphatically as she flew overhead. That roused the group enough for someone to get up, “Anybody want a fleece blanket?” It was getting chilly. “How about another beer?” Boy oh boy, two tough choices. “Sure, thanks!” Before I knew it, eleven o’clock had passed, and somehow there was still light in the western sky. I bid my friends goodnight and thanked them for reminding me about the simplicity of boat life that’s so satisfying. In a month when I have seen such profound things in sailing – the challenges and triumphs and of the R2AK, a national championship regatta against top competition, the tumult of a gale in Cattle Pass – it’s the quiet moments that resonate most loudly. I’ll see you on the water, Joe Cline Editor, 48° North

I greatly enjoyed the Doug Fryer Swiftsure Race Report in the July Issue of 48° North. He left out how many times he’s won the Overall and Class trophies, but it has been a lot. He’s always on the boat to beat. I, too, love the Long Course, and first read about it in the midwest. My first four races were to Neah Bay, but finally I bought a life raft (required then, but not now) and went to the Bank. There is just nothing to compare to the feeling of rounding a huge, anchored Canadian Naval vessel out in the ocean, with phosphorescence, rolling ocean swells, whale encounters and “champagne sailing” back to Victoria on Sunday (well, sometimes Monday); not to mention the greater podium potential created by the low recent turnout for the Long Course Swiftsure. This year, we ran with six regular crew and six others who had never done the Long Course (or been on our boat for that matter). Eight of our crew were Canadian. I think I can speak for everyone that it was a treat not to be missed. So please, sign up next year for the Long Course Swiftsure. It is really “the only one” and a tradition to be preserved. Oh, and no matter how long you take to finish, the Race Chair, Vern Burkhart, will meet you on the dock. Jon Knudson, S/V Korina-Korina Thank you, Jon, for your note. I appreciate the feedback and the sentiment about Swiftsure. We all loved Doug Fryer’s article the chance to read about the race’s history from one of its stalwart supporters and perpetual victors was truly special. Personally, I am really enjoying the back-and-forth about which Swiftsure course is best. I’m very much on board with your opinion (and Doug’s) that the race to the Bank is the true Swiftsure course. I’ve also raced the Hein Bank course the last two years, and understand why a lot of smart sailors think it’s a better race course - you stay in the breeze the whole time. With the turn at Neah Bay, you get to sail down the strait in daylight and breeze on Saturday afternoon, and what could be better than that? I’m thankful there’s a shorter course option, too, because I like the culture of sailing smaller boats in bigger races on bigger water. I’m not sure it’s any less challenging to sail a Moore 24 to Clallum Bay and back than to do the long course on a big fast boat. Don’t get me wrong. I would like to see the long course participation grow, by a lot! And I hope the many more boats decide to go to the Bank again next year. But having personally experienced both sides of the debate, I see the merits in the variety. Thanks again for writing in! We would welcome the thoughts of other 48° North readers on this subject (and most others, too!). www.48North.com

Letters Appreciation for the Artist’s View Hi Joe, Just wanted to share how much my family loves the Artist’s View by Larry Eifert. They’re interesting for adults and still worded for our elementary age kids to enjoy. We love finding creatures while sailing that we recognize as a result of his articles. Thanks, Erin Greene

Larry is a real treasure to our community, isn’t he? I get frequent compliments on his articles, with some saying it is their favorite thing in the whole magazine.

Hello 48°N:
Superior Blade Sharpness And Durability
I love your magazine, but have a question that I must ask: I've just read Richard Hazelton’s article on the 48° North website, dated January 28, 2016 titled “Boat Test: The Return of the Dana 24.” In it, he quotes Bill Crealock, the boat’s designer and also the designer of my own Crealock 34. Now, my understanding is that Bill Crealock died in 2009. If Mr. Hazelton has information to the contrary, I wonder if he might share that with us. I'd love to speak with Bill. John Enders

You got us, John! When we went live on the new site, we reposted a couple of popular Boat Test articles from the past. The Dana 24 is historically our most searched boat test. Rather than attempt a seance, I think I’ll just change the post date to indicate that it’s from the archives, originally published in April 2009. Thanks for keeping us honest! www.48North.com

Common Dolphins on Shilshole Bay! Dear Joe, While sailing a few weeks ago, we were thrilled to see a pod of Common Dolphins who swam over to play near the boat. Having seen Dall’s Porpoises before, we were surprised to see what we thought were porpoises jumping clear out of the water. As we got closer, it was obvious that these were too playful to be porpoises. My parents, who are relatively new to sailing, were visiting from Portland and their night of light air sailing was made by the show the dolphins put on! Kaylin Rostron Seattle, WA

Thanks for the note, Kaylin. These waters never cease to amaze. I saw some video posted by sailing instructors at Seattle Sailing Club of what must have been the same pod. How cool to share that unique wildlife experience with new sailors like your family or those sailing students. I also heard that some of those instructors saw humpback whales that weekend too! There are so many things that can draw us into the world of sailing, and to be sure, wildlife sightings are one of the best. In our region, the further north you go, the denser some of that wildlife can get. Some of those Race to Alaska racers who have ocean passages and serious miles to their credit were floored by their whale encounters during R2AK! www.48North.com

WITH BOW BUOY YOU’RE NEVER ALONE
Letters Expanding Universal Access Sailing We typically try not to put press releases in the ‘Letters’ section. They’re not really letters, after all. However, this one came in with a personal note, and we just felt that it was too cool not to feature as far up in the magazine as we could get it! I’ll lead with a segment of the note and follow with the Press Release. Hi Joe -
Hassle-free docking for the shorthanded sailor I developed the Bow Buoy Docking System (BBDS) because I’m retired (with physical disabilities) and couldn’t use my sailboat nearly as often as I wanted to. My boating opportunities were greatly limited by the need for a second person to assist with casting off and mooring. Now I’m only limited by the weather. - Jerry James (Inventor) Website:

Phil here at West Coast Sailing in Portland. I hope this finds you well and that things are humming along at 48° North. Over the last two years, we’ve been actively negotiating to become the North American distributor for Hansa Sailboats, builder of the 2.3, 303, and Liberty universal access dinghies, and the Paralympic class SKUD 18. This agreement has been finalized and we expect our first container of boats in the next few weeks. This is a huge step forward for us at West Coast Sailing and, more importantly, for universal access sailing in the U.S. We’re advocates for getting folks on the water, so the mission of Hansa lines up perfectly with our goals as an organization. While there are miles to go in helping the sailing community understand the significance of universal sailing, spreading the word of this news with your audience is a great first step. All the best, Phil Krug Marketing Director West Coast Sailing

YAGER SAILS & CANVAS
Letters Sailboats throughout North America. Previously known as Access Dinghies, Hansa's range of racing and recreational boats includes the 'SKUD 18', '2.3', '303', and 'Liberty'. Programs around North America have hundreds of Hansa dinghies in use already. This new distribution agreement represents a significant step forward for Hansa and exciting new opportunities for sailing programs to make sailing truly inclusive. Hansa Sailboats is known worldwide for their role in disabled sailing and the use of ‘Universal Design.’ This design principle leads to sailboats which are less physically demanding and less intimidating to sail, opening the door for anyone who is interesting in sailing a small sailboat. While the typical one design racer sees Hansa boats as ‘unconventional’ the truth is their clever designs allow people of all abilities and skill levels access to the water to sail.

Long term, several key retailers and brand representatives will be appointed to help service customers throughout North America. “This is a very exciting time for us” said George Yioulos, West Coast Sailing's founder and president. “As our business has grown larger and larger, we feel it is time to put our effort behind a product that can truly expand the number of people getting on the water.” West Coast Sailing will work closely with Hansa Sailboats in the coming months to develop key partnerships in the sailing community. This agreement is a significant step forward for inclusive sailing in North America, and will open up the joys of sailing and on water experiences to a wider audience.

In 1914, the polar explorer Ernest Shackleton announced an ambitious plan to lead the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition - the first trek across Antarctica from the Atlantic to the Pacific via the South Pole. Shackleton's third expedition would prove frought with adventure - and peril. South is the remarkable tale of that ill-fated expedition as told in Shackleton's own words, and illustrated here with the photography of expedition photographer Frank Hurley, as well as modern color imagery of the fauna and stunning vistas the men encountered.
Their story begins on the eve of World War I, when the ship Endurance departed from England with Shackleton and his team of six men. The plan was to travel 1,800 miles across the icy continent from the Atlantic side, while a second team aboard the ship Aurora, would reach the Pacific side from Tasmania and lay out supply depots for the advancing team. As the Endurance approached the continent, however, it faced early ice, and the vessel became hopelessly locked
in an ice floe, beginning a series of travails for the men of the Endurance. To d a y c o n s i d e r e d an adventure survival classic, South is the true story of a thrilling polar expedition. Never before has Shackleton's lively prose been so extensively illustrated with such stunning images. South: The Illustrated Story of Shackleton's Last Expedition 1914-1917 by Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, $40.00, published by Zenith Press.
An internationally renowned maritime journalist and speaker, Tom Cunliffe is one of the biggest names in the sailing world. For the past ten years, he has edited the Great Seamanship column in Yachting World magazine, each column featuring an extract from a classic yachting book. Tom introduces the extracts by giving
insightful background on the writers, their books, and what makes their experiences so worth reading about - and learning from. This book comprises Tom’s forty favorite extracts and covers the entire scope of yachting concerns, from smallboat handling to yacht racing to long-distance cruising and exploring.
Introduced in Tom's quintessential lively, engaging fashion, and illustrated with photos from both the original books and Tom's own archives, this beautifully packaged book contains a wealth of yachting wisdom, and is a collection to be treasured. In The Wake of Heroes, by Tom Cunliffe, $25. 00, published by Bloomsbury Publishing.

There are more than 15,000 species of clams found worldwide. The giant clam is the world’s largest bivalve, its shell being more than four feet in length. It’s a myth that giant clams trap unwary divers, for it’s incapable of completely closing the two halves of its shell.

Galley Essentials with Amanda Amanda with circumnavigator Sr. Genuíno Madruga We made landfall in the Azores on the island of Flores after a 14-day passage from the British Virgin Islands. As the island loomed closer, its sheer volcanic cliffs caught the morning light. Checkered patchwork fields of green rimmed by blue hydrangeas spread across the island top, shimmering like icing on a cake. A few small villages dotted the landscape, their whitewashed houses sparkled in the warm morning sun like decorations upon the icing. This was my fifth visit to these islands and to me the Azores are the most beautiful islands to be viewed from the ocean. It’s a hike up a cobbled lane to the town center and we passed small stone houses surrounded by gardens containing abundant vegetables and flowers with pig pens tucked in the corner. Locals tending to their morning chores returned our greetings, pointing us in direction of customs and a store that sold us fresh bread and cheese. We next met the harbormaster, Tiago, and since we were keen to explore, he printed off directions for a spectacular hike that traversed a cliff face to a wild and isolated beach. Tiago also arranged a tour for the next day. In the evening, on his recommendation, we dined at a restaurant overlooking the 1910 lighthouse for a typical Portuguese dinner with the following dessert.

in portraying the history of each village and what they were structured around. Best of all was Faja Grande, literally at the end of the road on the west side, where there is a lovely new stonepaved walkway past a historic water-powered grain mill to a large natural swimming pool underneath the island’s tallest waterfall. Back in Lajes, the ferry had arrived bringing several hundred visitors for the Festival of the Immigrants; a celebration of culture and tradition. We dined in a festival food tents, enjoying several specialties including Caldo Verde Soup (below). After sunset, the parade began down main street. When the Fajainha band finished the accompaniment for a very exuberant folk dance group, they then rushed back up the hill to accompany the next dance group that followed the children’s parade. Everyone was having an fantastic time, but when we were invited to a symphonic concert in the park to be held at midnight, we had to politely decline... we were exhausted! Caldo Verde Soup with Kale 6 tablespoons olive oil ¾ lbs Portuguese chouriço - sliced 1 onion - diced 4 garlic cloves - minced 2 lbs white potatoes - diced 4 cups chicken broth 4 cups water 2 teaspoons salt ½ teas fresh ground pepper 1 lb fresh kale - diced In a large pot saute chouriço in olive oil 4 minutes. Remove chouriço.
Saute onion with garlic until translucent. Add potatoes, water, broth, salt and pepper. Simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 minutes. Purée potatoes until smooth. Add kale and chouriço, simmer 5 minutes. Serve with tabasco and Portuguese corn bread. Serves 6. Horta, on Faial Island was our next port of call. Upon entering the harbor, there were tons of local kids zipping around in Optis and Lasers as part of the yacht club’s summer program. Being back in Horta was a real treat. I kept busy repainting boat names on the marina’s breakwater, walls, and sidewalks. Amidst those hundreds of boat names and paintings is Mahina Tiare’s, added on our last stop in Horta. A highlight was visiting a new restaurant in the whaling bay of Porto Pim. The proprietor is twotime sole circumnavigator, Genuion Madruga, who is known for his excellent fish and shrimp rice. Guenuion’s Fish and Shrimp Rice 16 large prawns 10-½ ounces white fish 2 onions - diced 1 carrot - grated 8 garlic cloves - chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 cups fish stock 14oz tomatoes - diced 2 mild red chilies - chopped 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon sugar 1½ cups rice ¾ cup white wine 1 14.5oz can chopped, peeled and pureed Italian tomatoes 5 anchovy fillets - chopped 1 green pepper - diced ⅓ cup Italian parsley - chopped salt and pepper In a large pot sauté onion, carrot, and garlic in olive oil. Add stock, tomatoes, chili, lemon juice, sugar and salt. Simmer 30 minutes. In a casserole dish on medium heat add rice then ladle in hot stock, alternating with wine and tomato puree until it has absorbed, approximately 30 minutes, as you would with risotto. When rice is ¾ cooked, add green pepper and anchovies. Fish takes 8 minutes to cook and prawns 5 minutes, so add accordingly. Season to taste and sprinkle with parsley. Serves 6.
During a cycling adventure on Pico Island, John and I were attracted to the old whaling village of Lajes, We now decided to sail there. In whaling days, Lajes do Pico was a busy and thriving town. Whales are now hunted with cameras instead of harpoons and in the new marina we counted eight whale watching boats. Between boat projects we hitchhiked to villages either side of Lajes, explored town and its wonderful whale museum, and enjoyed dining at the harborside Whale’come Bistro, which serves a delightful cod lasagna. Salted Cod Lasagna 4 salted and dried cod steaks 4 cups warm milk 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 tablespoons flour 2 teaspoons salt ½ teaspoon nutmeg 12 lasagna sheets 1 onion - julienned 1 red pepper - julienned 1 zucchini - julienned 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 14.5oz can petite diced tomatoes 1 6oz can tomato paste 1½ cups grated cheese
Soak cod for 24 hours changing water 4 times. In a saucepan, melt butter, stir in flour and continue stirring until color changes to sandy brown; about 6 minutes. Whisk in milk and cook 10 minutes while stirring. Add salt and nutmeg. Poach cod in water 10 minutes. Drain. Cook lasagna sheets for 8 minutes. Sauté onion, red pepper and onion in olive oil until al dente. Add ⅔ can of tomatoes and ⅔ can of tomato paste. Shred cod removing any small bones and cartilage. Combine with vegetables. Combine remaining tomatoes and tomato paste then spread on baking dish base. Add a layer of lasagna sheets, top with cod mix, béchamel then cheese. Continue layering. Bake 350°F for 35 minutes until golden brown.

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.

Untying the Lines and Chasing the Sun! By Becca Guillote
When my husband, John, and I moved to Seattle in 2008, I knew how to sail. At least that’s what I told our neighbor who was building a crew for his Moore 24. Growing up, my parents would sometimes charter a boat in the Caribbean and very occasionally the
kids were invited too. We would put up the sails, turn off the engine, and eventually arrive in a new anchorage. That’s what sailing is, right? So sure, I can race. Boy, that wasn’t true. That first Monday night, flying down the

Shilshole breakwater under a spinnaker I had just hoisted (I had never seen one of those before…), a new universe was revealed to me. I collapsed into bed that night humbled, bruised, and elated. We raced every Monday that summer. And we lost every Monday that summer. The night we made it across the finish line before the race committee hauled anchor and headed to the bar, we celebrated like we’d won the whole regatta. We were getting better. And, less apparent at the time, we were growing roots in a community that felt like home. For the next three years, we raced whenever we could, said yes to everything, went out in any condition and lost feeling in our toes establishing lifelong friendships while sitting on the rail. Like the sunrise on a winter day when the gray sky lightens without discernment, one day we were shopping for sailboats. I couldn’t quite say when we’d started. For nearly two years, when we weren’t racing, we scoured the PNW for the right boat for us.

We untied the lines and pointed Halcyon’s bow north to Bella Bella, BC, where there was a job waiting for us in July. We’d owned the boat less than three months. We monitored wildlife in the Great Bear Rainforest, spent weekends in unnamed secluded inlets, and practiced patience as we learned the woes of remote boat work, which involved waiting for a once-every-twoweeks barge shipment from Fisheries. Now it’s 2016, and it’s hard to believe I’m the same person that was tangling the lines on the Moore 24 spinnaker. We’ve lived on Halcyon for five years, cruised the inside passage and local waters, replaced or upgraded almost every system or moveable part on the boat, and learned her every creak and quirk. This August, we are untying the lines again, this time pointing her bow south. Well, actually we’re going north first - how can you pass up a leisurely sail around Vancouver Island? The plan is not to have a plan, to move at Halcyon’s pace, to chase the sun.

To experience new cultures without rushing off in an airplane; to appreciate the vastness of this world; to push ourselves out of site of that comfort zone; to be humbled by nature; to examine ourselves; to explore without inhibition; to connect with new people; to break the unfavorable habits that creep into our city lives; to learn; to shift our perspective for good. Maybe along the way, we’ll find the answer.

Refrigeration By Jack and Alex Wilken
Summer is here and with it the warm weather we enjoy, but we need a way to keep food from spoiling. We are writing this month about installing refrigeration in your boat. We all want the most refrigeration for the smallest energy consumption. Of course, lots of insulation and a block of ice does not drain your batteries. For those of you who want to go sailing for more than a couple of days, refrigeration will use power, but your food will be safe and sound. Converting your boat’s ice box and/or building or modifying a space for that use can be a lot of work, but with it comes a world of possibilities. We went cruising many years ago on a 33’ fiberglass sloop that had a large ice box, but we converted a small space at the head of the quarter berth into a
Figure 1: This is a refrigerator designed and built for recreational boats. The pull out drawers give you good access all the way to the back. “A” indicates the mounting flange and “B” shows that the lower drawer has full sides so that not as much cold is lost as with the upper when they are opened. “C” is the open space in the back where the compressor is mountednot visible in this image. This is the reason why the lower drawer is shorter. “D” is the dimension for the possible thickness of insulation- about one inch. 30
mean losing cold every time you open the door. The level of insulation in an off-the-shelf refrigerator is typically far less than what one would install in a well-built box. What they do offer is easy access and usable space. The pull out drawer model (Figure 1) makes the bits way in the back feel like they are right up front while the cold is spilling out - well, you get the picture. One thing when planning the installation of any of these is that they need ventilation. Once you identify the location of your new box, the next thing is to determine how much insulation is possible. As a general rule,
one cubic foot refrigerator that never drew much power. It had four inches of insulation all around and our 40 amp alternator kept up with that and the other electrical needs on the boat. Today, most people will want two-toeight cubic feet, and while long distance cruising may be a different mindset, the weekend or fortnight in the San Juans deserves its amenities. The simplest system is an electric sealed compressor with evaporator. The evaporator will extract heat from the box whenever the compressor runs. The evaporator is a flat piece of Figure 2: “A” is a sealed electric refrigeration metal, usually aluminum, compressor that can run either on 12 - 24 volts DC or with tubes formed into the 120 volts AC. This is usually paired with an evaporator. plate that can be formed into “B” is an open, belt-driven refrigeration compressor a box, freezer compartment, that can be mounted on the main engine or the or whatever shape is most generator. It is normally connected to a holding plate. convenient. The cooled refrigerant passes into the tubes of the four inches of closed cell insulation evaporator and heat inside the box is with a high R-rating is a good place to start. If you are insulating an old box by absorbed and removed from the box. Other systems employ a holding securing blocks of foam to the outside plate that freezes when the compressor of it, you may be restricted (usually on does its work. The holding plate the outboard side, if nowhere else, if it is actually functions like an ice block close to the hull). You can fill in around that you can keep refreezing. While the blocks with spray expanding foam. there are other ways than compressors If you are building a box from scratch, a to create refrigeration they are not as box inside a box approach can be taken. efficient or convenient for sailboats, so Start with a plywood outer box and then we shall focus on compressor driven build an inner liner which will become systems. One possibility is a complete the inside of your refrigerator. The inner unit with compressor and evaporator liner needs to be waterproof with a drain all mounted in an enclosure with a fitting which can be closed and directed sealing door, a completely integrated into the bilge. It could also empty into a sump to be pumped overboard- without unit, aka, a refrigerator. Installing a refrigerator is getting anything that might create an straightforward, especially once you odor into the bilge. You could insulate have the place prepared. You will only between the outer and inner box by need to provide electrical power in the mixing up the appropriate amount of form of wiring and a fuse or breaker: expanding foam and pouring it into the two conductors, positive and negative space between the two boxes, but you in the case of DC, and three wires for need to be careful when doing so to fill AC. You will not be able to use any all the space and brace the inner box so irregular space, and the choice of its sides do not collapse inward from anything but a top loading unit would the pressure of the expansion. You August 2016

could instead use blocks of foam and cut, trim and fit around an inverted liner that is then placed into the outer box. Again, be sure to seal the joints; this can be done by fitting and then spraying the expanding foam on the open joint before you push and hold the piece into place. The outer box should be watertight. Epoxy is a good choice, and the inner liner can be made of fiberglass or welded metal, usually stainless steel. The door or lift out should be insulated and sealed with weather stripping or an appropriate seal. The choice of a compressor is between a sealed electric and a mechanically driven unit similar to the one under the hood of your car for the AC (Figure 2, page 30). Usually we see the sealed electric compressor paired with an evaporator panel or box while the belt driven variety is more often used with a holding plate. These can also be combined into a hybrid system. The idea was that the belt driven unit can cool the plate quickly because of its ability to use a lot of energy over a short time and the cold plate stores energy. On the other hand, the sealed
electric compressor uses as little energy as possible to keep an evaporator cool but cycles on and off all day long. In order to cool or remove heat from inside the box you have to get rid of it outside of the box. There are different ways to do this, but the most common in the past was a small radiator that released the heat into the air from its cooling fins like the radiator in your car. This Figure 3: “A” is a special thru-hull fitting, used can be passive or a fan can effectively to water cool some refrigeration systems, be used to move the air past that is constructed with coils inside that exit at the top, the fins. The more effective “B.” “C” is a cutaway drawing of the same thru-hull way to remove the heat is to fitting that shows the coils, “D.” use water as the medium. This can also be passive or active as the refrigerant tubing can pass bring down your power bill and be through an especially designed thru- worth the extra initial cost. If you buy a system designed to hull fitting or a keel cooler (Figure 3), or a pump can circulate water through convert or upgrade an insulated box a heat exchanger. Water conducts heat to a refrigerator or freezer, it should around 25 times faster than air. This come out of the box pre-charged means a refrigeration system using with refrigerant and sealed with water rather than air for cooling will valves on the individual components.

These valves allow you to install the compressor, evaporator or holding plate, and possibly a separate heat exchanger and then hook them all together by passing the tubing through a sealed hole in the box and screwing the valves to one another. The evaporator versus holding plate choice is multifaceted. The up front cost favors the evaporator as do some use conditions. It is possible to cool the box to lower temperatures with an evaporator, and, as long as the boat has a large enough house battery bank or a constant charging ability, shore power or solar, etc., it will maintain the box at a constant temperature. It does not store any excess energy when it is available, like when you run the generator or engine when motoring to get somewhere. It is possible that in the tropics it would run continuously and still not keep the box cold enough; this would depend on box insulation and the size of the compressor. The holding plate is a kind of artificial ice block usually made of stainless steel and filled with a eutectic solution. This solution is designed to freeze at a temperature less than 32° F so the box can be kept at a lower temperature. The idea is that it will stay frozen or store the thermal energy for around 24 hours, but it should be noted that once the stored energy is used, the energy to cool the box is less efficient than an evaporator. This means that each system is more energy efficient under different conditions, so they are both compromises as are most things on a boat. There are systems on the market that try to mitigate this compromise by using a holding plate with a power August 2016

management module that regulates the speed of the sealed compressor depending on whether a charge voltage is present or not. This means that if you are plugged in at the dock or running your engine/generator it runs the compressor at max speed to cool a holding plate, and, when the boat is on batteries alone, it runs it as slow as it can. Once refrigeration is installed, its efficiency will depend on it being used under the best conditions for the system - short term high charge holding plates, or low draw long term cycling evaporators using a low charge rate for a long duration, like solar, or a large battery bank - with both types of systems working well at the dock. Holding plate systems can be installed with a Plexiglas box so that the inside of it is the freezer with adjustable vents to allow the cold to spill out to cool the rest of the refrigerator (Figure 4). Proper maintenance should be done like keeping the door or lid seal renewed and assuring that the seal where the tubing leaves the box stays intact so moisture does not get into the insulation by this or other avenues. Keep the radiator clean of dust and lint, or the keel cooler or coils cleaned off if it is water cooled. We will not make any stupid jokes about “be cool”, but it is important to remember that refrigeration is likely to be the largest consumption of energy on your boat.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
Bull kelp creates an ocean forest, and it does this all in a single season. Growing from a tiny spore, a kelp stalk can become 200 feet long, held up by a ball-like bulb that is filled with carbon monoxide. The stalks are pulled up because of the bulb, and long leaf-like blades stream out 10 feet beyond that. In what has to be one of the fastest growth rates of any large organism, the stalks can grow two feet each day if conditions are right! By fall, kelp begins to die back, but they’re tough plants that can take months to decay, and huge piles of them often wash ashore after a storm. Flexible stalks can stretch a third of their length without breaking, showing their stamina in the tidal and surf zone.
Just like forests on land, kelp forests are rich with wildlife, providing resting places for otters, gulls, shorebirds and water birds. The leaf blades branch from the bulbs and spread out to float on the surface, much like a forest canopy. Underwater, the blades and stalks are homes for snails, crabs, shrimp, starfish, sea anemones and many others. A plant the size of bull kelp needs a good foundation, so they grow what’s called a “hold fast” that attaches to rocks. When I first learned to sail in the Northwest and outer coast, a salmon fisherman clued me in. “Stay away from those kelp beds because they mean rocks down there, but if you can get behind them, it’s like a sheltered bay!”

Race to Alaska 2016
Photo courtsey of Nick Reid
T
he Race to Alaska (R2AK) is a phenomenon. The race is, for all intents and purposes, in its infancy and is currently closing out its second edition as another resounding success. You probably already know that, though. You probably read some of the dozens of articles published about the race, or you watched the hours of video that is now available (much of it streamed live… thanks Facebook!), and compulsively refreshed the tracker, which was only overwhelmed by web traffic once or twice during this R2AK! The public’s response, however, is only the measurable result of the real stories of Race to Alaska. The real story of R2AK is the spirit of adventure that drives people to do something on the brink of crazy. But also very real, and the reason the response matters, is the genuine and palpable inspiration that so many of us that follow the race feel. Think back to about this time last year. Think about the number of people who were taken with R2AK 2015, its participants, and their astounding struggles and triumphs. How close were you to saying, “seriously…let’s do it!”? Well, a lot of people said it and a significant number were actually serious. More than 30 of the teams bound for Ketchikan were doing their 34
first R2AK. Roughly ten entries had a boat or a crew that were 2015 R2AK veterans. The range of boats extended in every direction – faster, slower, bigger, smaller, stouter, and more fragile than the boats that entered in 2015. As I’ll discuss in Part Two of this article, most teams that set out from Port Townsend knew they didn’t had a chance to win the $10,000 or the steak knives. However, there was still a strong contingent of boats that in my eyes, and I think in their own, had a genuine chance for an R2AK victory. It began to feel surprisingly similar to last year. In 2015, nobody had raced these waters, and there were huge
By Joe Cline question marks about what it would take to win, what role human power would play, what kind of boat or crew would be ideal. Coming into this year’s race, many of those questions had better answers. But, as the race approached I began finding myself counting up a list of as many as 14 boats I thought had a chance to win. If we really knew about this race, what to expect and how to win it, that number would be much smaller. The article that begins on the following page is devoted to this group of boats. Of course, Team MAD Dog’s incredible run takes the cake (and the money), but there were a lot of fast boats pushing for it. Part of what makes Race to Alaska so beautiful is the priority it puts on ALL of its participants. The glory is not just reserved for the winners. I always compare R2AK to a marathon. If you do a marathon, nobody asks whether you won. If you did it, though, hats way off! So, Part Two of this R2AK feature will be about the boats racing to finish. From the adventurous racers who test their mettle on small, engineless boats in remote and freezing waters, to the thousands of armchair R2AKers; from the teeming throngs in Port Townsend and Victoria, to the unknowable numbers of fans and supporters who come out in their own little boats from their ports along the course to wish the racers well and share morale-boosting treats to eat or drink – this is an event unlike any other. So really, when the next R2AK comes around… Let’s do it!

A
t the start of the Race to Alaska in Port Townsend on June 23, there was only one boat on the line with speed when the horn sounded. That boat crossed the line doing about 18 knots and made the rest of the boats look like they were standing still. Granted, the leg from Port Townsend to Victoria is pass-fail, and the true beginning of the big race is the rowing/pedaling Le Mans start out of Victoria. But, Team MAD Dog crossed the line first and fastest in Port Townsend, and set the tone for the rest of the race. Sailed by boat owner Randy Miller, and Seattleites Colin Dunphy and Ian Andrewes, Team MAD Dog crushed Elsie Piddock’s race record by nearly two days. The Marström 32 catamaran (M32) is known to be very fast, but exactly how fast compared to other fast boats was a bit of an unknown. Almost nobody, except these guys, is racing this kind of boat under a handicap. And certainly no one had raced a distance like R2AK on one. To be fair - their level of preparation was very good, and they had done enough sailing in breeze and waves in the San Francisco Bay area to have made some modifications to make
the boat safer, most notably adding t-foils to the rudders to help keep the bows from digging waves and risking a pitchpole. I was on the water taking some photos and video in Port Townsend that morning. We stuck around the start line for maybe five minutes after the gun, and I asked the generous boat captain (thanks Sterling Marine!) if he would drive up to the front of the fleet and work back. We got out of there and he put the hammer down, and we proceed to bounce downwind in his power boat at 25 knots for at least 15
minutes to catch Team MAD Dog and their rocketing M32 jibing along the Whidbey Island shore. They were way, way launched. When I got a call from one of their crew, Colin Dunphy, later that day, he told me they had crossed in under four hours, and they had used the pedal drive to make a couple of knots in no wind for about an hour and half. A number the other contenders in the race to win weren’t far behind them. One of the interesting factors in this year’s race was the inclusion of two very fast monohulls, much faster than

One is the National Skiff Foundation’s Fox 44, Ocelot, racing under the team name Jungle Kitty and being skippered by Ben Glass. The other is the custom 40’ racer/cruiser, Madrona, skippered by Carl Buchan (you may have heard of him). I still think there’s some possibility that if the teams had last year’s windapalooza in Johnstone Strait with breeze to 50 knots, there’s a chance one of the monohulls could have won. MAD Dog did what most people, myself included, thought they could not do: they raced without stopping in all the conditions they faced. The little sleep they got was right on the racks or the trampoline of their beach cat on steroids, their only shelter a bivy sack they called the “body bag.” The owner of the boat slept with his rescue knife out of its sheath, ready to cut open the bag if the boat went over. And, while it’s impressive how little breakage they suffered, the biggest surprise to me was how well they handled the physical stress of sailing that boat on so little rest. My greatest concern for them was that they would be in big conditions and so sleepy that they end up in a capsize just from fatigue. I always thought they could win, but I also thought they would have to stop to sleep. They did not. They set the record. They impressed us all beyond words. 36
Bella Bella, all four were within a few miles of each other, and ready for battle in the final push. Jungle Kitty found the best breeze and legged out in Hecate Strait, locking up 2nd place in the last day of their race. This year, even beyond the race for the steak knives that involved twice as many boats as last year, there were boats racing, really racing, all the way to Ketchikan. That’s part of what had me most excited. It was still an adventure. But this year, it was more of a sailing race, too! To put it in perspective, seven teams bested the record-setting time of Elsie Piddock. The top 13 teams to finish R2AK 2016 would have taken home the steak knives last year if they repeated their times. These boats were fast and pushing the whole way. It’s partly more cooperative conditions, but I really think it’s the “send it” attitude that these teams brought to this race. I recently spoke to Bill Niedringhaus from Team Pure & Wild, the sixth place finisher. He was thinking back on the race for me, and his big take away was how great the racing was for them. They had an 80mile match race with Mail Order Bride, trading tacks for nearly all of Johnstone Strait. Bill told me, “we were racing at all times - it wasn’t a cruise - which felt proper.” I think that’s a great reminder that even as people start to figure some things out about how best to compete at the top of the R2AK fleet, that it’s still hard for everybody. All of these top teams had seriously tough and scary moments. Jungle Kitty called us just after their harrowing passage through Seymour
There were plenty of moments when the being tired was overshadowed by the exhilaration of the boat. You just couldn’t sleep if it was blowing much more than ten knots, and if you had to be tacking frequently, it was also a no go. But, when the breeze was down, Colin and Ian told me stories of falling asleep at the helm and tipping backwards on the rack (thankfully being caught by a crewmate sitting nearby). Just because MAD Dog blew the race wide open didn’t mean that there wasn’t close racing on the course. The race for the steak knives was, also like last year, the race to watch. It wasn’t quite as close as last year in Ketchikan, but it was much closer all the way along. The second place boat at Cape Caution, Jungle Kitty went up Fisher Channel inside of Calvert Island motivated by depth concerns near Bella Bella (they draw 11’). This choice gave the other three boats, Broderna, Madrona, and Mail Order Bride a chance to make up some ground in Queen Charlotte Sound. Turn Point and Broderna, boats that raced to win!

Narrows. They had to wait for a tide window, and were in the company of a few commercial fishing boats while they tacked slowly around. They were able to sail against the late part of the flood. Just past the Narrows, the breeze quickly picked up into the 30s, and that’s when stuff got hairy. They broke their jib halyard. For that recovery and the rest of the night, they were all hands on deck. Sailing with a reefed main and no headsail, their progress in the breeze and the 7’-8’ waves was slow and hard on boat and crew. They noted that the phosphorescence in waves that big was eerie. They could see Madrona closing from behind, too, which didn’t help the vibe on board. Jungle Kitty skipper, Ben Glass, told me the low moment came around 2 am. Nobody had slept, and they just registered a gust of 42 knots. Dropping the main to the second reef meant bringing it all the way down in the full gale and then putting it back up. It was dark, and the traffic in those narrow passageways made any amount of time under bare poles a serious no-go. They saw at least four cruise ships and six tug-and-tows as well as many fishing boats in those tight quarters. Their options to stop are limited because they’re such a big, deep boat, so they can’t just beach the thing. And all the while, they have on their minds that this boat belongs to the National Skiff Foundation, so they have a different kind of responsibility to take good care of it. The discussion shifted to turning downwind, and Ben told me, “If we turned downwind, we probably weren’t going to turn back up.” In the midst of this discussion about turning around, the breeze decreased into the 20s. The boat came under control and they were able to stop the ragging of the mainsail. They could continue on! As they sailed through the night, the breeze continued to decrease, and they even got a bit of a southeasterly and put the kite up for a while in Johnstone Strait. Morale on board Jungle Kitty had returned to its jovial levels and the rest of the day was relatively mellow. So, why were the best teams the best in this year’s R2AK? In the case of the MAD Dog guys, I think the boat, and their preparation, get a lot of credit. They’re excellent sailors, also. But to
have a boat that powered up that’s also safe enough is a testament to both boat and crew. They could be flying a hull in 5 knots of breeze; it hardly seems fair. Not only did they customize their foils, but they had some custom sails too. MAD Dog crew Colin Dunphy, is a sailmaker and built a special light-air jib. The M32 catamarans typically sail with no jib, but in very light wind, that custom sail was a weapon. MAD Dog certainly wanted it badly and earned every ounce of their success and every dime of the $10K, but with the lead they were able to build early in the race they just had to survive for the win.
I felt like the will to push and the will to win were more evident from the Jungle Kitty team. Each conversation I had with them, I was aware of their efforts to balance pushing the boat and themselves with avoiding breakage. When the others closed in on them near Bella Bella, they were upset. They refocused and nailed it as veteran racers often do. From there, Broderna, Madrona, Mail Order Bride, Pure & Wild, Un-Cruise, and Turn Point - they didn’t stop after Victoria. Finishing was not the only reason they raced. They were competing. And I, for one, am incredibly impressed. Ok, and jealous!

R2AK 2016 Part Two: The Race to Finish
Team “Bunny Whaler” makes slow, steady, and good-natured progress in what was mostly a rowing race. Photo courtesy of Race to Alaska/ NW Maritime Center
R
ace to Alaska is primarily about finishing. It’s what makes it profound and distinctly different than other boat races. There’s been a lot more finishing in the 2016 edition of R2AK. There are more total finishers as well as a higher finishing rate in this year’s race. Part of this is because there was a lot fewer boat busting blows that defined the inaugural race. But nobody, and I mean nobody, would call it easy. This year, it was difficult because there was often too little wind, not too much. The delirium of glassy waters and round-the-clock rowing were the tenant of this year’s race for anybody finishing outside of the top 13 boats. The race tried patience and tired muscles. Some boats were better prepared to row - Angus Rowboat and Liteboat for example, had craft built with rowing in mind. Others, like Bunny Whaler’s brothers who were college rowers, had the power, if not the design (no one would call a 17’ Boston Whaler sailboat a row-oriented craft). Human power of any kind for that distance is kind of brutal (just ask Mike who did the race in his kayak last year!). But as someone who paddled a Santa Cruz 27 into Victoria last year (for a measly hour) it is far worse in a boat that prioritizes sailing. Sailors who know the Inside Passage are not surprised by this

weather pattern - there was always a chance it would be like this. One of my favorite aspects of this year’s race is to see the success of participants and teams that did not make it to Ketchikan last year. They didn’t make it last year mainly because they couldn’t continue with broken boats. If they didn’t make it this year, it was because they wouldn’t continue with this soul-sapping rowing. The stories of redemption come through loud and clear, going through the list it’s an amazing number of teams that completed this year what they started last year. The first boat to exercise their breakage demons were the Vikings
aboard Big Broderna. Their dismasting in Johnstone last year was a huge disappointment, and they brought a bigger, sturdier, faster platform this year. Their third place finish is impressive, but I imagine their finishing position was in no way as sweet as ringing that bell on the docks in Ketchikan. Turn Point and Pure & Wild also put the past in the past and rang the bell in Alaska. Both of these boats turned around a day out of Victoria with prescient concerns about weather and their boats’ ability to handle it. Turn Point returned with the same boat, slightly modified, and two R2AK veteran crew. They were an impressive eighth overall, and showed that their purpose-built boat was not only stout enough to make it, but fast! The Pure & Wild team returned in name only, the players and the platform were different. They finished sixth, had a great time, and raised money for a good cause along the way! Team Golden Oldies bowed out around Seymour Narrows last year with a busted main halyard. They finished tenth in R2AK 2016. Colin Angus, of Team Angus Rowboats, didn’t even make it to the start line last year after his boat was lost off of the trailer. This year, he was the first singlehanded finisher, and came within an hour of Roger Mann’s mind-boggling singlehanded record from last year. Following Colin along the way, it’s clear that while it wasn’t

a walk in the park, he avoided the lifealtering hardships that Roger Mann encountered along the way. And finally, Thomas Nielsen of Team Sea Runner, returned this year with a new boat (a Seascape 18) and without his buddy Scott. Thomas is the last team confirmed to finish, although at the time of this writing, there are still four teams on the course. Thomas had an incredible adventure, one that was often demoralizing, for him as it was for others, in its breezelessness. But he did what he set out to do, and is now a proud R2AK Finisher. The best story of this year’s Race to Alaska, however, is the finishing story of a boat that you will not find in the list of finishers. Team Alula, if you didn’t follow the race closely, was technically disqualified because they accepted outside help, specifically from two other R2AK 2016 finishers. They went down a crew member in Campbell River, and decided to continue outside the rules of the race rather than turn around. If you know one thing about their experience - know that they finished. They were disqualified from the race, but they made it to Ketchikan.
Their stories that precede R2AK are unspeakably inspiring: three wheel-chair-bound athletes with backgrounds that include the Olympics, boat building, surfing, and offshore sailing among many others. These three adventurers accepted the R2AK challenge on an unmodified F-27 trimaran. It’s obviously amazing that these sailors with differing backgrounds and unique challenges The incredible “Team Alula.” really went for it. But what Photo courtesy of Race to Alaska/NW Maritime Center. fills me up with equally good feelings is that their help came people at the right time, that’s all they from within the R2AK family.

T
he Dufour 350 Grand Large (GL) was designed for cruising, using lessons from her “bigger brothers” and input from customers in what they wanted in a “smaller” boat. Designed by Umberto FELCI, at just over 33’, it’s a very attractive boat with lots of innovative features above and below deck. Talk about right out of the box, the interior of the Dufour 350 GL was still covered in plastic. Luckily the boat had been rigged, so Aaron Holmes from Windworks, 48° North Editor Joe Cline, and I were able to take her for a

tryout. It was an overcast day with the promise of rain as we headed out from Shilshole Bay Marina into a shifty 12-16 knot southeasterly. The mainsail is in an integrated cover with lazyjacks and went up smoothly and easily. With no backstay to get in the way, the 371f2 fully battened main is large and provides lots of power. We rolled out the genoa and were off. The boat settled in nicely, the hard chines putting us in a stable groove. Close-hauled, we did just under six knots. We were a bit overpowered but the boat felt solid

and handled it well. We didn’t have the smaller self-tacking headsail rigged to the track on the foredeck, which would have been nice going to weather in that breeze. Cracking off, we reached comfortably at 7.5 knots with, as Joe put it, “just enough weather helm to keep you honest.” We found the boat easy to steer and responsive on all points of sail. The boat is set up for short handed sailing with the German system, which has mainsheet and jib sheets run back to stoppers and winches by the helm.
We found the 350 GL easy to drive, with thoughtfully placed systems to trim from the helm. www.48North.com

The interior, looking forward, with double doors into the V-berth. I would prefer one size up on the winches, but then I always want bigger winches. There is no mainsheet traveler - the mainsheets run to a bridle on the cabin top. Fine for cruising. At the bow is a combination sprit and bow roller. With a Code 0 or light asymetrical on the furler, it will be ready and easy to use in lighter airs. With the width of the boat run aft, long, swept back spreaders (remember there’s no backstay) and outboard shrouds, the sidedecks are wide, making movement easy and safer. Multiple blocks lead lines to the cockpit, with spares for later additions. There is one shallow lazerette on the starboard side which was enough to hold our six fenders.
The cockpit is large with a table in the middle. Twin wheels aft provide easy steering from either side, with enough room between them to allow easy coming and going at the stern. This is where you really appreciate having no backstay. The helmsman seats on either side fold up against the lifelines. The transom can be lowered manually to make a swimstep. Now the whole back of the boat is open to loading and unloading dinghies. There’s also a washdown/shower built in to the side so you can hose down the kids when they return from the beach really a nice feature to keep the cockpit clean. There are also two lockers under the aft cockpit for a life raft or whatever you need to store.

Going down below, you’re greeted with a Maobi wood interior which, coupled with the large portlights, makes for a nice bright interior. Oak is also an option. There’s even a small opening port by the galley to let in light and vent whatever’s cooking. The Dufour 350 GL comes in either a two or three cabin layout. Our boat had the three cabins: two double berths in the back with a double berth up front. The L-shaped galley is on the port side and head to starboard. With the two berth layout there is a shower added to the head with added storage aft. One innovation is the hidden chart table that, after removing a cushion on the settee, rises on a track to lock in place. Quite handy to convert sailing mode to hosting mode. Another interesting feature is the double doors to the forward berth. When open they really open up the interior. At 6’ I hit my head up forward, but with double doors it was easy to take one step to more headroom. All in all we really enjoyed the Dufour 350 Grande Large. It sailed easily, even with a bit more sail up than needed. With the three cabin set up, it would be a nice Salish Sea cruiser. The two cabin version would be our choice for longer voyages. Thanks to Windworks for letting us test the new Dufour 350 GL - they have this boat currently listed for sale into their fleet.

Loads in Sails:
The Reason for Sailcloth Development By Vince Townrow, of Ullman Sails Pacific Northwest
The Sailmaker Sessions is a recurring series in 48° North which features a different local sailmaker in two formats: an informational article in print written by the featured sailmaker, and interview focusing on their background and current interests in sailing published on the new www.48north.com. Sailmakers have always tried to build the most efficient sails to make boats go as fast as possible. Recently, we have come to understand not only what shapes we want, but also what materials are efficient enough to produce the desired sail shapes through wider wind ranges. Our understanding of aerodynamics has perpetually increased, and the sailcloth material developments have followed. What follows are some of the basic principles that influence these developments. Shapes Vary for Wind Range and Boat Type In light air, there is plenty of reserve stability in the boat, so we are looking to maximize power. At low boat-speed-to-length ratios the boat can go faster with increases in lift. This means deeper shapes trimmed very close to the stalled condition. Sails made and trimmed for light air tend to have high aerodynamic drag, but the lift, in absolute terms, is greater. This works well until the heel induced by the aerodynamic drag overpowers the stability of the boat. In heavy air, we are trying to keep the boat on her feet at the limit of stability. In addition, the boat is operating in a much higher speedto-length ratio, so speed increases are minimal and increased drag only results in more heel and a slower boat. Thus, we are looking for a better liftto-drag ratio. The best shapes are far flatter and trimmed much closer to where the sail starts to backwind. Lightweight boats tend to reach their stability limits in lighter wind strengths, so sails must be built for better lift-to-drag ratios at lower wind 42
speeds. A heavier boat usually has additional stability and tends to have lower sail-area-to-displacement ratios. As a result, the heavier boat is looking for power into much higher wind speeds and will require deeper more powerful sails. The ratio of boat-speed-to-windspeed affects sail shapes, too. Boats that achieve very high boat-speed-towind-speed ratios (.75 to 1 or greater, like light multihulls) typically carry the apparent wind far more forward than heavier boats. Because of this, faster boats require flatter sails that produce less drag and do not backwind. Battens are a great way to support the sail and keep it flatter. Heavier boats cannot operate at the higher speeds and can only achieve boat-speed-to-windspeed ratios of .5 in lighter winds. Appropriate sail shapes for the heavy boat are, again, deep and rounded. Contrast a Westsail 32 to a Melges 32. Obviously it would be poor sailmaking to fit sails for one boat to the other! Sails built for running can utilize the more efficient direction of the lift and the far greater longitudinal stability moment of the boat to be deeper and more powerful. In addition, because the apparent wind is less than true wind at angles greater than 100° to 120°, the sails must be far larger and, most essentially, much lighter. Sails must be adjustable to accommodate condition ranges, but there are limits to what can be done. The area can be changed by reefing and the aerodynamic shape can be changed by controlling the shape of the rig and by altering the relative tensions in the edges. Ultimately, multiple sails are required to be able to match the conditions. August 2016
www.48North.com
How Loads Develop in a Sail When running, the loads are relatively low and support deep shapes. The loads concentrate along the vertical edges. In spinnakers of soft cloth and older cut types, distortions resembling gutters become evident along the leeches. The result is reduced reaching ability and reduced speed. The loads increase when reaching and the shapes need to be flatter, but are still manageable by lighter, lower modulus cloths. Modulus is the term used to describe the yarn’s ability to resist stretch. The higher number, the less stretch. Generally, the higher the modulus the more the sail will resist changing its flying shape under load. Upwind, the loads are highest. Think how heavy the mainsheet gets while sailing upwind and how light it is sailing downwind. The required shapes upwind are the most sensitive to distortion. If a leech stretches sailing downwind, it is not a real problem. Stretching on the leech of a sail upwind will allow the draft to move aft, which increases heel, slows the boat down, and makes her more difficult to handle. The loads change in the sail depending on the relative tallness (aspect ratio) of the sail. The taller sails concentrate the loads along the leech and luff with relatively little load in the middle of the sail. Lower aspect sails (genoas) have relatively higher loads reaching out into the middle of the sail. Additionally, loads increase by the square, not linearly. In other words, a doubling of wind speed results in four times the power. When you think about this, you can see why one sail can’t maintain its shape in all conditions! Moreover, changes in the density of the air results in significant changes in the power of the wind. The difference between a cold winter 15 knots and the same breeze on a hot summer day feels like about a reef’s worth of change. This is why it is so difficult to sail on a puffy day after the front passes over. The Goal: Control Stretch and Maintain an Efficient Shape Upwind In the classic age, the Americans used cotton (lower stretch) and the English used flax (higher stretch).
The result was that the American ships could sail closer to the wind and be more efficient. This is part of the reason it is the America’s Cup not the Twenty Guinea’s Cup. Old school sailmakers could not control stretching of the fibers or the cloth, so allowances for Left to right: Dacron cross-cut cruising sails, hybrid polyester and Spectra tri-radial cut, and a paneled string sail. stretch were cut into the sail so it would have good shape in • Resins: These are applied to the of each piece requires a computer to the right wind speed, like cutting cloth cloth in a bath which dries to design the sail and to drive a plotter to out of the miter seam for heavy air sails. further inhibit movement of the cut the panels.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
Efficient Sailing It’s a common sentiment among cruising sailors that they need not concern themselves with sailing performance. Cruising is about slowing down, but dismissing performance as racers’ folly is poor seamanship. After some years of listening to cruisers disregard performance and gripe about slow passages, it dawned on me that confusion is to blame. Our good friend, William, demonstrated this last year during a fun race in Madagascar. William is a good sailor with significant bluewater cruising experience. He doesn’t race, but his competitive side (and his party side) piqued knowing prizes and a party followed the competition. With his racing cap on, William decided on a bold spinnaker start. He was singlehanding. It did not go well. The gun cracked and his spinnaker tangled, slipped, and dipped. He finished last. On passage, William is slow and deliberate when setting a spinnaker, not very racer-like but still giving a performance boost. Had he stuck with this instead of confusing performance and racing, he would’ve had more to celebrate at the party. To clarify this issue, let’s forget all about performance; and instead, talk about “efficient sailing.” A rabbit in a bunny suit is still a rabbit, so what’s the point? How about the comfort
and safety that come with avoiding or minimizing bad weather, or reducing stress that comes from looking at a three day passage when weather windows only last for two days. Efficient sailing is getting from A to B with minimal effort. What could be more appealing to a cruiser than minimal effort! There are three parts to efficient sailing: sail trim, sail handling, and routing. Sail Trim Racing sailors are pedantic about sail trim. Constant adjustments can yield subtle gains that show when measuring against competitors. We’re not interested in subtle gains. Reasonable sail trim takes no more time than bad sail trim, but yields better speed with less wear and tear on sails. For example, when reaching and running, a boom vang locks the boom from lifting and dropping due to changing wind pressure on the mainsail. This may seem insignificant, but not using a vang slows you down and will cost you money in repairing a mainsail chafed by rubbing against rigging. Another example is headsail trim. Sheet blocks are often set for reasonable trim going upwind, which is fine, except that most of the time cruisers aren’t going upwind. When using an upwind sheeting point for reaching and running, the upper portion of headsail twists to leeward, spilling wind, and causing the upper leech to flap. A barber hauler is an easy way to trim the headsail correctly for broader wind angles. This gives a considerable boat speed boost that can be 10 miles and more per day.

Sail Handling Racing sailors are well practiced at sail-handling for fast transitions. Fast is usually not important or practical for short-handed cruisers. However, efficient sail handling from a well

setup boat, practice, and good crew communication reduces crew risks and equipment breakages. Step one is setting up the boat to make sail handling easier. Cruising boats are usually reasonably well set up, but it takes time on the water to learn what works well, or needs improvement. Friction causes the most trouble. Friction makes you weak, and will have you swearing like a sailor. I installed a Harken furling system for cruising friends in Singapore. The next day they had words with me because furling was harder than ever. I went back to their boat and tested each furling line guide blocks. Only one of them actually turned. This was easily fixed with freshwater and silicone spray, and furling became less work. Keep those winches, blocks, and sheaves in good order. Watch for line chafe and metal fatigue. And give thought to unplanned sail-handling events – they happen. When Totem was ghosting along the Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), the heavy duty stainless steel pad eye securing the mainsheet to the boom sheared off. The part was less than a year old, and failed from slatting force. By chance, I had installed a webbing strop around the boom just in case such a thing happened. The mainsheet was reattached in just a couple minutes Step two of efficient sail handling is matching sails to the conditions. This may seem obvious, but it’s common to see people raise the anchor and hoist full sails; then outside of the protected anchorage, bigger wind hits and they scramble to reef the main. Start the day with a weather forecast and a few moments of observation before getting underway. Once underway, reducing sail area is all about observation and timing. In 20 knots of true wind, I can reef our mainsail on my own in 2 minutes – less if more motivated by approaching squall. In 30 knots it takes at least twice as long. Monitoring wind speed and watching for obvious changes like squalls and subtle changes such as increasing gusts give you time to adjust sails when it’s still easy. Approaching the South African
coast last November, we expected landfall six to twelve hours ahead of forecasted bad weather. With 20 miles remaining of the 1,000 mile trip, we were sailing in gentle conditions with a perfect sunrise, and feeling good. Then I looked up. Above a thin layer of clouds going our way, clouds whipped along in the opposite direction. The southerly buster came early! Engine on, we prepared for strong headwinds. At 7 miles to go, wind was 25 to 30 knots on the nose and against the strong Aghulas current. Waves piled up and with no gap between them. Bashing, our speed dropped under two knots! It was a tedious few hours getting in, but each additional hour out there would have been worse. Routing The first two parts of efficient sailing are about managing what’s on board the boat. Routing is the path that you put the boat on. There are two parts: big picture routing, and A to B routing. Big picture routing is fun and easy. String together an efficient and safe path to the places that you want to visit. Take into account big considerations: seasonal weather patterns, time limitations, access to fuel/food/etc. The scientific formula for big picture routing is: fun – harm = intentions. What you actually do depends on a millions variables that happen as you step along the path. Zoom in on details of sailing to the next place, and you’re into A to B routing. Sometimes this is easy - a straight path without complicating factors. Often, subtle variables can cost you time or diesel, and elevate risk. Going to Friday Harbor, you look at the weather and the tide for when you expect to be at Cattle Pass. This is A to B routing. Practical experience from attempting Cattle Pass on the wrong tide (as we once did) indelibly marks this detail as one not to forget. There are many Cattle Pass “lessons” that help you learn to incorporate in A to B routing. This is local knowledge and it saves time, money, and lowers risk. Venture to a new area and local knowledge is gone. Fortunately, wherever you’re going, somebody went there first and probably wrote about it. Many
Trimming sails well is not just for racers, it’s a great idea for cruisers, too. bluewater cruisers reference Jimmy Cornell’s World Cruising Routes. It’s a fine book for big picture routing and guidance on A to B routing, but it’s not a roadmap. Our recent passage from Ascension Island to Barbados was 3,100 miles long. The small group of boats doing this passage referenced Cornell, and set out with the author’s advice on crossing the equator between 28 and 30 degrees west longitude. Crossing further west into northeast trade winds can make the Caribbean upwind and hard to reach. This advice has the downside of being into a wider band of ITCZ, meaning more squalls. Off the boats went, one by one, aimed at 28 degrees west. We chose a different route. In A to B routing, the longer or more complicated the route, the more days in advance I study weather and variables. For weeks I studied several different GRIB models. Day after day, tradewinds were not northeast as Cornell said, but east north east and just fine for getting to the Caribbean. Investigating a route along the coast of Brazil, 900 miles west of Cornell’s route, I found reference to a strong current flowing northward along the coast. Fine wind, less lightning (narrower band of ITCZ), and positive current was too good to ignore, so I turned to routing software for a second opinion. Set the start and finish locations, and bingo, we’re going along the Brazilian coast. We had beautiful sailing, very few squalls and averaged 180 NM per www.48North.com

day over 17.2 days. The book route took boats 5 to 7 days longer, experienced more frequent squalls and burned a lot more diesel. After this passage I happened to reread Sailing Alone Around the World, by Joshua Slocum. In 1898, Slocum sailed Spray on the same route along the coast of Brazil to reach the Caribbean in good time, noting, “the current, now at its height, amounted to forty miles a day.” Eighty-nine years later, Jimmy Cornell missed or disregarded this current. His book is still a great resource, but it’s only one, static resource. From this lesson and others, here are six rules for A to B routing. 1. Use multiple data sources. 2. Schedules are inconvenient. 3. When weather sources disagree, don’t pick one as best. 4. Consider tidal and current flow. 5. “Group think” weather analysis is always one opinion to many. 6. Forecast accuracy varies regionally; compare forecasted and actual weather over time. Efficient sailing will get you there faster, safer, and with less wear and tear. Just don’t confuse it with performance sailing! That can lead to a soggy spinnaker and a sour party mood.

An over view of Whidbey Island Race Week by Vicky MacFeidh...
E
ach year Whidbey Island Race Week takes on a personality, or theme, of its own. Some come for the sailboat racing. Others for the party. Everyone simply comes for an excuse to enjoy the incredible natural beauty of Whidbey Island, Penn Cove specifically. For the 34th running of the week-long event held out of Oak Harbor, it was the year of the Dungeness crab. Where else in the country can you finish a great day of racing by pulling traps stuffed with those delicious crustaceans? Whether as a reward (or consolation) for the day’s racing few things beat eating fresh Dungeness back at the dock. Held earlier in July due to the tides, the race week’s mornings were cooler than average, though the marine layers gave way to trademarked gloriously sunny afternoons. It was a light-air year, but an occasional hole is par for the course. A f t e r a d e l a y ( i c e c re a m anyone?), the highlight of Monday’s
late afternoon race was the nearly 20-plus boat pile-up as the Melges 24 and the J/105 classes clustered at the leeward mark. CYC PRO, Charley Rathkopf, and crew began Tuesday afternoon with a creative downwind Z-course. Wednesday presented the best conditions of the week allowing three races for each of the nine fleets. Thursday’s forecast was for a southerly building to 20 knots. When the promised breeze finally arrived, the RC set a patience-testing marathon negotiating not one, but three major wind shifts - let’s call them water hazards. What made Thursday’s distance course even more “interesting” for the fleet, which finished barely before the five-hour time limit expired, was the reward— or punishment—of double points. Friday was a gentle finish to the week with just one start for only four classes before the wind skipped town completely. But WIRW is about more than racing sailboats. It’s about ice cream
in Coupeville, water skiing your hatch board, crab traps, and flying two kites at once. It's about sending your youngest crew to the top of the mast and telling fresh stories about old races. It’s about catching up with friends you haven't seen in years, and making new ones. Over the years, Whidbey Island Race Week, also known as “Adult Summer Camp” (now with a popular Kids’ Camp, too), has done its best to find the right balance of high-quality racing and a high-level fun factor. Current organizers of the event, led by Schelleen Rathkopf, are taking a proactive stance by listening to the requests of the WIRW participants. Looking forward to next year ’s 35th anniversary of Whidbey Island Race Week, Schelleen and company are encouraging class championships and cruise rendezvous to consider WIRW as their venue. Mark your calendars for July 10-14, 2017 to be part of the fun, and history.

The Farr 30 Fleet at WIRW by Patrick Doran...
W
arm sunny days and light to moderate breeze was the makeup of this year’s Whidbey Island Race Week. The Farr 30 one design fleet ws made up of Warcanoe, Nefarious, Square One, Bat Out Of Hell, and 65 Red Roses. Day one was a waiting game in Penn Cove. PRO Charley Rathkopf started a race getting fleet one and the Farr 30s off the line. It was abandoned midway through the second leg. Fortunately, the race committee was able to set a new course and after a few hours of postponement a race was in the making. D a y t w o b ro u g h t s i m i l a r conditions with some teams opting to tie up to the dock in Coupeville to grab a bite to eat, take a short walk through town, or enjoy some tasty ice cream. Early in the afternoon, the breeze in Penn Cove filled in from the west at a steady 7-9 knots. The race committee was able to get off two good races in the late afternoon. Tuesday is traditionally the Farr 30 fleet party night, graciously hosted
by Dan Randolph and Nefarious at their team house in Oak Harbor. All the teams made an appearance and rumor had it there was hot tubbing and a late night campfire sing-along. Throughout the week of racing within the Farr 30 fleet, the racing was close with many windward and leeward mark roundings being tightly contested. Lead changes were common and gains or losses upwind and downwind.Wednesday was no different. Three races were completed back to back with a little over an hour of quality racing completed in each race. Thursday brought the fleet out to Saratoga Passage. A distance race was started just outside of the mouth of Penn Cove and it sent the fleet upwind to the west into Penn Cove and then a kite run out of Penn Cove, turning south down Saratoga Passage. The Farrs, which carried an asymmetrical kite, used this opportunity to deploy them on the tight reach south to Baby Island. The fleet was tight with Warcanoe leading the way. While
racing south to Baby Island, the breeze lightened and became fickle, creating a restart. The lighter Farr 30 fleet had caught up to big boats in fleet one. Dodging holes in the breeze down to the turning mark created more than one restart. Once around the turning mark the fleet condensed again in light conditions for a few minutes. This is where the fleet split and the decision to race north up Whidbey Island or Camano Island shore was made. The boats that raced along the western shore of Camano Island fared better. The course was shortened at the north end of Camano Island and was the only race of the day. Friday saw light winds and brought the fleet back to Penn Cove. Only one race was completed with the Farr 30s lucky enough to get a race off in the late afternoon. By the end of the week, three out of five boats had taken bullets and everybody got at least one second. What fun! Congratulations to Michael Goldfarb’s Warcanoe on their victory.
The P4 Fleet at WIRW by Matthew Wood...
W
IRW 2016 is in the books, and yet again proves that sun, wind (sometimes) and friendly competition (again, sometimes!) in Penn Cove & Saratoga Passage is as good as it gets in the Northwest! I was fortunate enough to sail in the P4 division, a PHRF division with eight yachts with a handicap range of 54 to 81. In theory, we were a tight and well put together group of Race Week veterans and relative newcomers. The week started off with a light easterly and marine layer, soon burning off to bright sunshine and a light Penn Cove classic race, with the lightweight turbo’d J/90, Eye Eye, prevailing in a close race. The promised showers on Tuesday morning did not materialize, with a light to moderate, and very shifty, westerly allowing the RC to run two classic Penn Cove races. Swirling currents and just enough shifts kept tacticians and crews on their toes, and tight finishes were the order of the day.
Wednesday, after a Coupeville delay which found many of the participants enjoying the hospitality of Coupeville (Kapaw’s Iskreme and Toby’s Tavern most notably), the expected northwesterly filled in and three well fought races in P4 were run. As usual, Wednesday is moving day, and the rest of the week’s finish order was established. The first race was dominated by Jeff Whitney on the C&C 115 Elusive. Races 2 and 3 once again found the veteran Cohen team winning on Eye Eye. Meanwhile, Stuart Burnell and his team on the J/109, Tantivy, locked down second place in each of that day’s races, all the while sailing with the Race Week sponsor Haggen Food’s pantomime cow secured firmly on their stern, serving a dual role as tactician and photo opportunity for boats and spectators alike. Thursday at Race Week is generally the day when boats who are close to the podium find their second gear, and leaders fight hard www.48North.com
August 2016
to defend their position. This year was no exception, and was further amplified by the RC‘s controversial choice to run the distance race (double points) option. A beat to a weather mark off Coupeville set up a nearly nine mile reach/run around Long Point down to Greenbank, followed by the very odd mark location off the north end of Camano Island. Inevitably holes developed over the course as a Saratoga southwesterly competed with a Penn Cove westerly, and a significant split developed between folks who played the west (both up and down Saratoga Passage) and the same heading back north. As the day unfolded, the northwesterly won out, and all boats in P4 finished within the hour time limit. Sunscreen, staying hydrated and keeping heads out of the boat were critical in this interesting race. Ultimately, Tantivy locked down victories with line honors and a win on corrected time, which was finished at the Camano mark. * 49
Friday dawned with a one point difference between the J/109 and J/90, with a three way battle for the third place trophy looming in the light, hot and shifty breezes that met the racers. The intrepid RC waited out the wind, blowing off several divisions, but
letting the P4 fleet complete a simple but shifty windward/leeward in the heat and massive flood to conclude the week. The 2016 podium finishers in PHFR 4 were Eye Eye winning, with Tantivy a close second and Brian
White’s hard sailed J/35, Grace E, securing third on the last beat of the last race. Between well run races, notable crab hauls off Crescent Harbor, sunshine and companionship, it was a Whidbey for the books.
The J/105 Fleet at WIRW by Lisa Cole...

T
he J/105s brought out the largest fleet at Whidbey Island Race Week this year, with 13 boats on the starting line. The one design competition was fierce, and nine of the thirteen boats had at least one podium finish. Monday set the stage for the light wind that would plague the fleet throughout the week. The one race that got started turned into a long one when wind shut down as the fleet headed to the X mark. When it finally filled back in, several fleets got compressed at the mark creating a 30 boat pinwheel that dramatically altered the order of the boats coming in and going out. While there was plenty of frustration and yelling, sailing skill and sportsmanlike conduct helped the racers make the best out of a challenging situation. Erik Kristen’s More Jubilee won the day, while Jaded and Dulcinea took second and third. Tuesday started with a lot of drifting, but eventually filled in to allow for fairly solid buoy races in Penn Cove, and Wednesday continued 50
the Penn Cove fun. These two days allowed the fleet to get in five races, including one that had the boats reaching right up to the Coupeville pier to the delight of the spectators. Tuesday and Wednesday saw Jerry Dierks’s Delirium and Jim Geros’s Last Tango atop the leader board, with More Jubilee, Portland’s Troublemaker, and WIRW newcomer Moose Unknown all making strong showings. The wind predictions for Thursday led to the plan for a distance race. While many of the J/105 racers prefer shorter buoy races, you could see the grin on the face of Matthew GardnerBrown, skipper of Dulcinea, from across the water. The man loves a distance race because, “anything can happen,” and it did. While the wind shifted, the boats chose different paths into and out of Penn Cove and then down Saratoga Passage. When the wind finally shut down, the fleet was spread far and wide. Spinnakers hung like curtains, and crew huddled on the leeward sides of boats hoping gravity might make a difference. When the August 2016
www.48North.com
wind finally filled in, it brought boats from the back of the pack with it. Those in a good position and with keen eyes were able to get to the east side, and the rest of the boats watched as Abstract, Doug Pihlaja’s Portland boat, caught the fleet, scooted down the east side of the course, rounded the X mark and headed upwind. Inconceivable managed to follow their lead as did a few other boats. Most of the J/105s however, were once again caught in a multi-fleet pinwheel at yet another X mark. By the time they had cleared the mark and were all on their way, the wind was up, and the leaders were well ahead. David Cohen, Lance Rummel and the crew on Inconceivable soon had a lead that was untouchable. Gardner-Brown’s Dulcinea and Abstract held their leads on the pack to finish second and third. Day five had disappointing wind, and while one race was started, it was abandoned when half the fleet seemed unable to clear the line before the next fleet was to start. While it was a less than ideal finish, having no races on day five, the mood in the rum tent was still high, and the 105 fleet was even closer than before. Inconceivable had clinched overall victory with their impressive finish in the distance race, and Delirium and Last Tango took second and third, showing their continued dedication and drive. When asked about their WIRW experience, the Abstract crew expressed their appreciation for great Corinthian spirit, and Mitchell Burke from Troublemaker said that while it takes a ton of time and effort to set up the boat, “It is so great to come up here and be part of a 13 boat fleet, it is always worth it.” The rest of the evening was spent on stories about “that one time the wind died,” “how about that X mark,” and hopes that next year the line will grow from 13 to 15.
Anacortes Yacht Club
Windermere Regatta
A
nacortes Yacht Club’s Windermere Regatta took place June 18 & 19, just as school was letting out for the summer and fathers were enjoying their special day of the year. Windermere Regatta was the third of four regattas in the new North Sound Sailing Championship. On both days, the racing area was on the far side of Guemes Island, a one hour sail from Cap Sante Marina and the yacht club. On both days, the race committee and racers showed up on time, but the wind slept in until noon, not unlike some teenagers I know and love. Everyone had ample opportunity to enjoy a civilized social morning float. Saturday started with rain and a shifty spotty breeze, but once it filled from the southwest, we were set for a few great races. RC kept the races going for as long as possible to enjoy the afternoon breeze and clearing skies. Back at the clubhouse, racers’ knowledge and skills were further tested. The brilliant Pink Hat team from a little yellow boat posted a near perfect score in Trivia! After feats of knowledge, true skill was displayed on the karaoke stage. Juan Pequeno skipper and crew won the party and even the RC joined the action. Additionally, the Emoyeni
crew all managed to squeeze into the World’s Largest Underpants together. It pays to stick around for the post-race shenanigans at AYC. On Sunday morning, the sun came out and the breeze tried to fill, sadly from every direction before it found a good corner to stick with. As the breeze tried to fill and stick, crews tried to clear the cobwebs from karaoke the night before. By noon, we were ready to race with a spotty but filling westnorthwesterly. The first race of the day was a bit flukey and was shortened on the first lap. However, once that was out of the way, it was game-on for the rest of the regatta. With building breeze and tide from the same direction, starts and mark rounding got livelier as the day went on. Racing ended with a fantastic speed run downwind, and a great reach if you could hold your kite, all the way to the dock. Race committee skillfully delivered champagne to the transoms of surfing sailboats with a smile. Truly epic finish! Back at the club, everyone enjoyed the mandatory AYC Sunday chili dog feast… and prizes. In the Fast division, David Steffen’s Vitesse came out on top, followed by the irrepressible
Trucker Hats! • Gray & Navy hat with Black & White Logo, • Olive Green & White hat w/White & Black logo One size fits Most
Teddy Bear with some flashy new sails. In the Sport Boat fleet, Trevor DiMarco and crew on the Viper Timeline won the tiebreaker over Steve Orsini’s Kaa to win the division. In the 30-Something division, most of the boats were from Bellingham. It was lead by Eric Yaremko with his Flying Circus, followed by fellow BYC-er Michael Reams’ Natural Mystic. The Lil Sporty boat division was handily won by Chris White’s Martin 242 Crazy I’s. Yeah Dogg put in a great weekend to finish second. The Really Lil boat division was dominated by Orcas Island’s own Ryan Forbes’ San Juan 24, Ekono Juan. The fast and adorable Swackhammer family crew finished second with Hitched. Rounding out the regatta was the Aloha Division, in which Corvus eked out a close victory over John Gunn’s Litte Annie. In the North Sound Sailing Championship, Anacortes made a big leap to the top of the leaderboard. With one regatta left on the schedule, it could easily be a few different yacht clubs.

Sloop Tavern Yacht Club Three Buoy Fiasco Three Buoy Fiasco, aptly named to pay homage to the San Francisco Three Bridge Fiasco, follows the same rules which allows participants to choose any direction around three marks of the course. As a pursuit race the ever changing conditions add an extra challenge to the same guessing game of the day: Which way is the right way? Even after choosing a general direction it’s easy to forget during tense moments at mark roundings that “no room at the mark” can in this case mean “just go the other way around it!” With most of the fleet choosing to start right, or counter-clockwise, towards Meadow Point, a few others chose the left clockwise route and left for West Point first. Wind was sparse for the early starters as they struggled to clear the start line, with later starters benefiting from a building southerly which helped indicate that left in fact may be the ideal route. As Dan Randolph, STYC Race Chair explains, “We chose to go
left simply to ride the current from Jefferson Head, also seeing the pressure coming in from the south that would give us the longest downwind legs. Well a guy called me up after the race and said ‘nice job, way to take the shortest route,’ and I was confused by this because the race is the same distance either way. I realized, however, that he was right - the left route was almost a single tack and jibe, whereas the folks going right would have many tacks.” With STYC having taken on the race full time and no longer alternating years with PMYC, the awards were held at Shilshole Bay Marina with the afternoon summer downpour arriving to pass through just in time for participants to enjoy camaraderie, a bratwurst and a beer under clear skies and good spirits.

Melges 24 Canadian National Championship
T
wenty-nine Melges 24s descended on Okanogan Lake in Kelowna, BC, the weekend of June 23-25, promising an event of epic proportions. With the PNW fleet of Melges 24s burgeoning, we have been blessed with major events in four of the past five years; 2012 US Nationals (Seattle), 2014 Canadian Nationals (Victoria), 2015 US Nationals (Columbia River Gorge) and now another Canadian Nationals this year (Kelowna). Perhaps eclipsing all of these premier events will be the World Championship being hosted by Royal Victoria Yacht Club in 2018. Everyone relishes the memories of the wipeouts in the Gorge, come on it’s the Gorge and wipeouts are going to happen. There were the 180° wind shifts in the 2012 Seattle Nationals that sent the whole fleet for a loop and the race committee unable to do anything about it with a boat already finishing. Of course no one can forget when Kevin Welch and Team MiKEY caned the fleet in Victoria during the 2014 Canadian Nationals. Now this year, a huge lake in the Okanogan with a wide variety of conditions, and another regatta victory for Team MiKEY. The lead-up to this event held quite a bit of unknown. At least in the Shilshole Dry Storage much of the talk surrounding this event was 54
about trying to find someone who had sailed there. There are in fact four or five local Kelowna boats, but the Seattle fleet doesn’t see those guys all that much. Travel is part of the fun of these boats though. Melges 24s are notoriously easy to put the stick down and burn some rubber to a fjord lake, five hours east of Vancouver, BC. Brian Hutchinson hosted a speed clinic on Thursday, where we had a ripping northerly. Afterwards, great beer was enjoyed by all at sponsor Tree Brewing Company next to the launch ramp. Brian schooled the group on everything from main twist to angle of heel as well as touching on general strategy on the lake course. Friday the wind gods provided us with a south wind which was twenty degrees right of the norm in Kelowna. After day one the leaderboard was tight from the top down. MiKEY was the model of consistency rocketing off the line while finishing no worse than third in the 29 boat fleet. Zingara was in a position after the first day to challenge MiKEY for the top spot despite missing the first race with a stripped cap shroud. The big news of the first day was that there were four different race winners, with Gord Shannon’s team Boaty McBoatface nailing the left side August 2016
www.48North.com
of the first leg on Race 1 and holding off MiKEY’s attempt at a pass. The black flag made an appearance early with the PRO going straight to it after a general recall on the first race, three boats got the penalty in race one. Race 2 saw Alex Krawarik on Rogue bail out straight after the gun and smoke it out to the right coming back with Sunnyvale to cross the fleet near the starboard layline. Going into the regatta the local talk was to skip out on the right and head left as the pressure is a bit fluky under the cliffside on a southerly, but this breeze direction allowed the puffs to come from the right with the dip in the valley. MiKEY pulled off the old fashioned “port tack the fleet” move, while the boat I sailed on (Good Enough) nearly pasted into the pin boat as we misjudged our timing. Enough said there, MiKEY won Race 3 wireto-wire without much of a challenge. After missing the first race of the day, Zingara won the 4th race by being generally to the right and flat out faster than everyone upwind. After day one, MiKEY had an eight point lead over second place Sunnyvale, but factoring in the throwout coming Saturday, Zingara would be just five points behind MiKEY to Sunnyvale’s four point lag.
Saturday racing began with a wind direction nearly due south. The current was ripping, and don’t call me crazy, the lake had a ton of wind driven current being a 70+ plus mile long body of water. The current was hugely evident in the first race as multiple boats nailed the first mark with some moving from the top eight to the back of the pack rather quickly in the lighter breeze. MiKEY continued their dominance on day two, getting a picket fence over two races. The name of the game was to hit the left for current relief and better pressure. This was true in both races, but especially Race 6 when the mark was shifted 15° left in a fickle wind. Race 6 also ended in unfortunate circumstances as we saw a 130° wind shift. Two hundred yards from the finish line the wind shifted and died causing eight boats to be unable to finish. In fact, Saturday was so challenging that the second place boats on the day, Wes Whitmeyer ’s SlingSHOT and Sunnyvale, both averaged a six. The results were hugely mixed with the variable winds on Saturday.
Cm S t Us!
Sunday was a non race day as we sat out on the water for three hours waiting for wind. With that, MiKEY won the 2016 Melges 24 Canadian Nationals with seven points. Team Wet Coast Sailing on Sunnyvale finished in second with 18 points followed by Richard Reid’s Zingara with 23 points. Sunnyvale won the Corinthian class followed by Gord Shannon’s Boaty McBoatface with 25 points
(4th overall) and Matt McGregor/ Keith Hammer ’s Good Enough with 35 points (6th overall). Huge thanks to Kelowna Yacht Club for hosting a top notch event and all the contributing sponsors. No doubt this regatta will be talked about for a long time to come and hopefully the fleet makes it up to Kelowna with equally huge proportions again. by Josh Larsen results: http://melges24.ca

had top three or better finishes, and often several boats were overlapped at the finish, especially the downwind finishes. The old adage that “consistency wins regattas” proved true again. Not only were the top three boats’ one throw-out a 5th for Ekono Juan and 6th for both Return and Grauer Geist but, while Grauer won Saturday’s racing and Return won Sunday’s, Ekono Juan was a close second both days and a deserving champion. The excellent Oak Harbor Yacht Club hosted the regatta, with a barbecues on Friday and Sunday, coffee and sweets in the mornings before racing and a fine dinner meeting Saturday night, featuring many fine gifts provided by sponsors being raffled off. In addition Chuck Skewes of Ullman Sails (prime sponsor) hosted a race analysis with pictures and video from the day’s racing. It was great to see his tips and feedback helping improve overall performance around the course on Sunday. As one Seattle participant summarized, “Is there a better place to have this regatta? Good close racing, interesting currents and winds, snow-capped mountain ranges to the west and east punctuated by Mt. Baker, a fine hosting yacht club, great organization by Dave Steckman, Denise Buys and others, and lots of fun people. I am so glad we made the effort to come and participate!” by Kenneth Johnson results: http://bit.lySJ24NAChamp photo by Steve Wolff
or the sixth straight year, the San Juan 24 fleet gathered at Oak Harbor to contest its North American Championships. This year, 12 boats from various ports on Puget Sound raced on June 25 & 26, in sunny Penn Cove, in primarily westerly winds, mixed in with occasional northerly shifts, ranging from 7 to 13 knots – excellent conditions for the venerable one-design fleet that placed a high premium on good starts and handling the first weather leg in the varying Penn Cove currents. Oak Harbor Yacht Club was the center of activity, and the Race Committee, headed by Byron Skubi, got off 11 well-run races over the two days, with six races on Saturday and five more on Sunday. After Saturday’s races, three boats were grouped at the top, with Grauer Geist (skippered by Ken Johnson) of Seattle leading Ekono Juan, owned by Ryan Forbes and skippered by Ian
Warenham, from Orcas Island, and Return (skippered by Mark Bradner) from Seattle by 2 and 8.5 points respectively. That these boats were on top was no surprise – Ekono Juan was the 2014 champion, Return won the regatta in 2011, 2013 and 2015, and Grauer Geist has been a consistent top 4 finisher. Saturday ended with a rare tie for first in the last race, with Ekono Juan catching Grauer Geist on the downwind line – even a video of the finish could not break the tie. After three races on Sunday, Grauer and Ekono Juan were tied, and Return with two firsts and a second was charging hard. However, Ekono Juan put together a first and second in the last two races to clinch the championships by 2.5 points over Return and 4 points over Grauer. The competitiveness of the fleet was evident throughout the regatta. Although the top three boats won 10 of the 11 races, another six boats

swiftsure yachts The logbook for August 2016 Dovekie 1989 Hallberg-Rassy 352 $99,900
Dovekie is hull number 762 of the 802 Hallberg-Rassy 352s built. These very popular centercockpit cruisers are offshore capable yet small enough for daysailing, overnights or weekend sailing. Dovekie was delivered new to Japan, where she spent four years. She was sailed across the Pacific to Seattle and has since cruised the Pacific Northwest. This ageless design has been well maintained and continuously updated over the years, including recent sails, rigging, electronics, and heat. Dovekie is well found and ready for sailing the Northwest and beyond.
