Sail with Sailors Who are Better than You I find myself ever more grateful for having had so many influential and inspirational sailing mentors. As mentors tend to be, they are more experienced, more knowledgeable, and more savvy. Most importantly, they were always willing to share. When I think about sailing with those generous friends, I am aware of both their enthusiasm for and investment in my personal sailing progression. Over time it is clear: the learning goes far beyond the hard skills of how to trim a sail or drive a boat. I had only a little exposure to sailing as a kid, and I really didn’t consider myself a sailor until I was teaching kids at summer camp during my college years. Summer camps are a setting where, of course, skill progression and personal growth are prioritized and you could see it flourishing around every corner. My friend Dave gave up his evenings for a week for us to go sailing, and he taught me enough to start instructing. Every sailor’s story begins with something like this some friend, family member, or instructor who helped give a new sailor a nudge. When I started working at Seattle Sailing Club, I was the constant beneficiary of the open exchange of information that’s commonplace at an active sailing school. I was surrounded by professional instructors who were becoming my friends, but who would also challenge me and share their experience. I was thrust into leadership roles, none less-earned than a skippering gig with club member racers on a J/24. For whatever reason, a club instructor, Rex (who has since become a long-time sailing buddy), liked me and thought I could sail and wanted to volunteer to be part of my crew. Right, my crew... But, he let me drive and call the shots while giving me the confidence to go out and try stuff (like sailing a J/24 is 35+ knots, for which I’m pretty sure I almost got fired). Rex was vastly more experienced than I was, but he never lorded it over me. I learned so much, so fast. In recent years, my opportunities to sail with better sailors has hit a steep curve. Much of the sailing I do involves the chance to sail with some very experienced people, whether it’s the privilege to be one of the low guys on the totem pole on the TP52 or starting basically from square one on the 505 with my skilled and experienced sailmaker friend, Dan. As it turns out, I’m an addict for the stuff. I have the hardest time turning down an opportunity to sail with someone really good, even if I miss out on other good parts of life because of it! Sailing with people who are better than you will surprise you. It’s not always touchy-feely good. Sometimes the better sailor expects a lot more of you than you think you’re prepared for. But whether wholesomely instructional or competitive, the opportunity to sail in an environment with more experienced or accomplished sailors will show its effects in direct and indirect ways, and you may not even notice that you’re doing things differently. You’ll find yourself noticing the clouds angling a particular way on the horizon. You’ll do a more thorough pre-sail checklist. You’ll show up to the boat early and have the spinnaker sheets run or have taped measurement marks next to the genoa cars. Here are a couple of recommendations for making the most of a great opportunity: Listen, listen, listen: I like the sound of my own voice as much (ok, probably more) than the next guy. But, when I’m on a boat with better sailors, I want to hear every snippet of chatter, especially when it’s a conversation involving multiple really good sailors. Being a focused and attentive listener is a huge asset. Take action: I believe that one of the mistakes people make when they’re in an environment with intimidatingly experienced people is they wait to be told what to do. This is a dance. You don’t want to be the overeager guy hoisting the main at the dock. But you’re there to sail, so if you know it’s the right thing to do, go for it! Keep a notebook or log: You’re not going to have time to do this underway, but just as you might debrief with a crew after a sail, write down tidbits: language, processes, and observations. They’ll be filed away in your memory, but writing it down may help lock it in. I’ll see you on the water, Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North 6

Letters Sinking and Mayday on Race to the Straits Dear 48° North Community, How many people have watched a boat fill up with water from about 8-10 inches of water to 3-4 feet of water in about 15-20 minutes? I’m now one of those people. I experienced it as a crew, and that’s the perspective I’d like to share. Thankfully, my friend who owns the boat and I are safe, and her San Juan 28 made it to Port Townsend. I am eternally grateful to Washington State ferries; the Vessel Assist (recently renamed Tow Boat U.S.) crew whom I want to hug forever; the US Coast Guard; and Matthew Walker and Brenda Van Fossen who were on the sailboat that first came to our aid (they have no idea how helpful it was just having them nearby), I owe you both hugs and a few cold ones! And thank you to the owner of the boat, who was my skipper for Race to the Straits and is my friend. Both of us kept our heads in order to get done what we could at the time! Thanks so much to everyone reaching out and offering us a place to sleep and assistance with whatever we needed. Friends, family, Seattle’s sailing and boating community is amazing! Life’s too short... Let’s go sailing! Yes, I just said that! Very brief account: After taking a picture of the sunset, I looked down into the boat and noticed we were taking on water, I estimated about 8-10 inches. I reported this to the skipper on the helm and told her I’d be right back and went to do some basic assessments. I remember trying not to get my feet wet at first, but thought “There is water coming in the boat, Sarah!” After I could not quickly locate the leak, we called in a Mayday to the Coast Guard. The water continued to increase at a rate I was not expecting and I still couldn’t find the source of the water. A nearby sailboat arrived shortly after and a ferry diverted to us. A Vessel Assist boat arrived shortly after and helped us exit the boat, with estimated 3-4 feet of water now in the boat. I was soaking wet from head to toe (thank you wool!). One of the Assist crew got onto the San Juan 28 and started pumping out the water, however the pump was not able to keep up with the water. There was a choice to attempt to bring the boat to dock or leave her, the attempt was made to tow her. Eventually we got her back to dock where extra pumps helped remove the excess water and locate the source of the leak. The transducer for the knotmeter had somehow popped out of the hull, leaving a 2-inch diameter hole in the bottom of the boat, located in the bow. The Assist crew told us they had attempted to rescue a boat with the same issue, but it ended up sinking. I’m so very grateful that we all got back to the dock.

have done differently after I noticed the boat was taking on water. In the brief 15-20 minutes we had, I learned a lifetime of lessons, most which do not even have words. I know we did a lot of things right, but here are a few that would be helpful to anyone dealing with the leak down below.

1. Accept that you did everything you could have at that time, with the experience and tools you had. Nothing will replace this lesson in my life and I’m still working on it. 2. Know your location by GPS and sight (including nearby landmarks if possible), AND know how to communicate it properly. I seriously would practice this repeatedly because it’s not a mistake you want to make. A friend recommend having a GPS right in your radio (excellent idea)! 3. Secure your charts. Our chart was put down below because of the waves and it ended up in the boat soup and I couldn’t retrieve it when I needed it. Put it back where it belongs when not in use, preferably inside the navigation table, NOT in a pull out drawer without a latch or behind something. 4. Secure as many objects as possible. The water basically removed drawers and their contents (the lock on these drawers were released by pulling up, which the water easy simulated). Anything that was not secured, even in an upper area, ended up in the boat soup. Additionally, when there is 1-2 feet of water, you can’t see the bottom of the boat or easily move around anymore, you are wading through water plus a lot of objects. I was in a mixer down there, with the water sloshing around, nothing is secure if it’s not in a locked area. Thankfully sailboats have fixed furniture! 5. Touch screens don’t work when you are soaking wet and your fingers are cold to the touch and are having a hard time finding something to dry it off with. 6. Don’t just look for spilling water, FEEL for it too. With a foot of water in the boat, you can’t just be “looking” for pouring water, you might be “feeling” for it. Also, I am now realizing that plugging a hole with a foot of water or more over it would have been very difficult to do, because the vessel assist guys had a hard time plugging the hole even with the water completely pumped out. 7. Our engine and steerage were gone at about 10 minutes in, so we were unable to control the boat. If your boat fills up with water, make whatever course adjustments you can before the opportunity is gone. 8. When I went down to look for the leak, I didn’t know where the thru-hulls were. Anyone who has ever looked for them on a charter boat knows that just finding them on an unfamiliar boat is a several minute process at least. There are some best practices www.48North.com

Letters to consider, like laminating a map of the thru-hulls, bungs, and tools, as well as tethering stoppers to each thru-hull. But, in that hectic moment, finding those things AND the thru-hull locations is a big job. I think it’s safest to ask for this kind of information before leaving the dock when you’re on a new-toyou boat. 9. If you are a nearby vessel, even though you may not be able to do much, just being nearby is actually quite comforting. Also, it would bring attention to other vessels coming to assist. Thank you, Matthew and Brenda, who were quickly on hand and ready to pull us out of the water! 10. Know how to use the safety gear on the boat, specifically the flare gun. Having someone tell you and using it once is not enough! There are so many different types, so you need instructions on that specific model. It would have been helpful to have had practice using it, since you might not have time to read the instructions in the middle of a difficult situation. 11. And lastly, fire off your personal locator beacon right away. I own one of these for the exact situation we were in and I totally forgot to fire it off until about the time the Vessel Assist boat showed up (I ended up not turning it on at all).

Sarah, thank you for sharing your experience. First off, I know I speak for all of us when I say that I’m primarily glad that you and your skipper are ok after a seriously close call. I’m also personally grateful for your willingness to let us into your experience and perspective, so other skippers and crew can benefit from it. These are just not situations that you can recreate very accurately. Surely, there are lots of ways to prepare, and your story brought to mind Margaret Pommert’s excellent article from last month’s 48° North about the “Safety at Sea Seminar” that took place on Bainbridge Island a couple of months ago. It is so valuable to access your experience of fighting for your survival and the survival of a boat that you don’t own or know very well. Like you, I’m not a boat owner, so if I wind up in any type of similar situation, it will likely be on someone else’s boat. Boats, even of the same design, can vary widely. At the sailing club I managed, there were several J/105s. Some of the stuff was the same, but there was plenty that was different from one J/105 to the next, including location of safety gear and thru-hulls. I’m glad to know that you’re eager to continue sailing indeed, I know you were out again this weekend. Keep sailing, keep sharing your experiences, and keep your head up - you and your skipper did well in an awful situation! www.48North.com

The owners of the buoys (City of Seattle) and the other component (Kenmore Air) have been working with their agent (Anchor QEA) to communicate this project with numerous waterway users and gain their approval. Several groups of waterway users have stated they do not support the use of so many buoys in the middle of the lake and are concerned about the “box” the buoys create. Those same waterway users support the need for some type of warning system for seaplanes operating on the lake and have come up with a solution. The attached document shows the presently approved buoy layout (buoys 1 – 8) with the new proposal (buoys 9 – 13). Other than the location of the buoys being different the characteristics of the buoys (shape/size/color/markings/ lighting) would all remain the same.

In November of 2015, we became aware of the specifics of a complicated and controversial situation involving a proposal that sought to resolve issues with the interactions of seaplanes and boat traffic on Seattle’s Lake Union. We had recently heard a few rumors, however, that the originally approved proposal was on hold and there was a revamped proposal on the table. The new proposal would use a single line of lighted advisory buoys. This month, we received confirmation from the US Coast Guard when Chief Warrant Officer Jeff Zappen sent us an email informing us of the new proposal and the until-further-notice hold on the original proposal. In a conversation with Mr. Zappen, he expressed the potential conflict or confusion of the original proposal and its relation to the Rules of the Road hierarchy. In his message to me, Mr. Zappen described the following:

A complete statistical review of theoretical speed potential analysis was undertaken, comparing suggested PHRF-NW ratings with other established rating protocols, such as IRC and ORR. This analysis revealed a very strong correlation among a narrow range of PHRF-NW projected ratings. This being positive, a series of comparative analyses were undertaken of the first two races of the CYC Seattle Center Sound Series (the third was cancelled due to lack of wind) and the WVYC Southern Straits race, providing varying conditions. All observed performance comparisons revealed results that correlated with the speed potential predictions. This research, conducted in March and April 2016 led to a proposal of adjusted PHRF ratings that were circulated to PHRF-NW ‘Big Boat Fleet’ owners for review and comment, and ultimately to the Handicapper’s Council for consideration. After a period of discussion, a vote resulted in a soundly affirmative decision: to adopt the suggested rating adjustment, with the proviso that no future ‘Big Boat’ rating decision could be made without the agreement of the Handicapper’s Council. These results are available for review on the PHRF-NW website. I have received positive comments from ‘BBF’ owners with regard to the process in which this decision has been made; from statistical analysis, leading to analysis of observed performance, consistent with PHRF-NW standards, to the involvement all parties in the decision making process. I would like to acknowledge and thank three key members of this project: Bill Nelson, Immediate Past Chief Handicapper, without who’s encouragement I would never have undertaken this project; Deputy Chief Handicapper Alan Grim, whose resolute adherence to the spirit and standard of PHRF was inherently critical for close call decision making; and to David Lynch, whose precise analyses made sense of all those numbers. This has not been an easy process, as there are many schools of thought about the handicapping of fast race boats – it is a cross of science and art. I appreciate all who have contributed in any manner to this discussion and decision.

The Seattle Yacht Club lawn was the place to be for all the pomp and circumstance of the Opening Ceremony. The 1st Corps Army Band Brass Quintet played as Past Admirals and Admiralettes from SYC and visiting Yacht Clubs marched in to form an honor guard. The flags of the United States, Canada and Japan were raised as their respective National Anthems were played. Commodore Glockner introduced the Opening Day Trio, Admiral Tom Wingard, Admiralette Joanne McConnell, Vice Admiral Bruce Campbell, and many others who are playing a valuable part in making Opening Day a successful “Great Escape.”

Seattlites celebrated the official opening of boating season in spectacular fashion under a clear, warm sky. Families spread blankets on the edge of the Montlake Cut to watch the 30th annual Windermere Cup crew competition. The UW crews won all four trophy races in the Windermere Cup. The firing of a cannon aboard SYC’s Portage Bay signaled the

start of the opening of the Montlake Cut Bridge. HMCS Oriole was the first boat in the procession of more than 100 boats t o p a s s t h ro u g h t h e Cut. The log boom boasted hundreds of b o a t s f ro m a l l o v e r the Pacific Northwest, enjoying the sunshine a n d k i c k i n g o ff t h e season with a bang. Many boaters took the theme, “Great Escape” literally and came with a Prison Escape theme or Island Escape theme! 48° North would like to thank Jules and Doug Bane, for allowing us to join the party of their 70' Holland, Undaunted. We would also like to thank Michelle Shaw, Michelle Sailor and Gary Ritner. www.48North.com

Coho Ho Ho Rally Raft-Up At Blakely Harbor We had the first Coho Ho Ho Rally raft-up at Blakely Harbor the weekend of April 30-May 1. It was quite a success with eight boats, and lots of anchoring practice, in most wind of the fine sunny afternoon. For some boats, this was their first raft-up, so a good practice. The potluck food was enough to cover

the large cockpit table on Waponi Woo, Ryan & Carolines's big Fontaine Pajot catamaran. The rest of the fleet ranged from 35-45’, both heavy displacement boats and lighter ones. More raft-ups are planned, contact: LeeYoungblood@earthlink.net

Lowtide Using their echolocation, dolphins can find fish buried in sand and dig them up.

Maritime Trivia by B ryan H enry

The earliest known four-legged vertebrate, or tetrapod, was the amphibian Ichthyostega, a descendant of fishes that lived around 375 million years ago.

Unlike humans, marine mammals such as whales, dolphins, seals and sea lions don’t usually form lifelong monogamous pairs and are quite promiscuous.

Among ancient sealife was the sabertoothed herring (Enchodus petrosus).

Some species of sea snakes give birth at sea; others come ashore to lay eggs. All eat from the sea: fish, eels, shrimp mostly.

Eels can tie their bodies into a knot and pull their head back through the knot by using the sides of it to brace against struggling prey.

The oldest known vertebrate was the Anatolepis, a jawless fish from China that lived more than 500 million years ago.

The Portuguese man-of-war uses its surface float to travel by wind propulsion. The man-of-war fish, which is a juvenile jack, lives among the deadly tentacles of the Portuguese man-of-war. One type of nudibranch secretes sulfuric acid from skin glands when disturbed. About half of all fish species spend part of their lives schooling, and a quarter school throughout life. The American sperm whale fishery flourished from about 1750 to 1850, reaching its zenith in the 1840s. Sperm whale oil was used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, detergents, candles, printing inks and in tanning leather. It was considered superior as a lubricant for delicate machinery.

Bowhead whales have the largest mouth of any animal. Whale meat was used in animal feeds and sperm whale teeth were exported to the Orient in great quantities for ivory carving. Orcas feed on a large variety of prey that includes fish, squid, sharks and rays, sea turtles, penguins, sea lions, dolphins and even other whales. Some lesser-known terms for groups of ocean animals include: a huddle of walruses, a lap of cod, a smack of jellyfish, a battery of barracuda, a flotilla of swordfish, a cast of crabs.

The sperm whale has the largest nose in the world, being as much as a third of its total length. A 60-foot sperm whale can have a 20-foot-long nose.

Reviving College Sailing in the Northwest By Andrew Nelson

The Northwest Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (NWICSA) has never really been a dominant player on the national scene. Historically, it’s been the smallest district in the nation. NWICSA is home to just nine college sailing teams, most of which are on the I-5 corridor in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. They are all studentrun club sports and range in size and competitiveness. About a dozen local regattas take place in the spring and fall, plus several travel events and the national championships. College sailing is not part of the NCAA, instead it’s governed by the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA). It’s also unique in that big schools and small schools all compete against each other as equals. Women also compete against men, or sometimes they compete in the same boat together as a team, making it a truly co-ed sport. For those that follow college sailing in our area, it’s no secret that the district has fallen on hard times. There’s been a steady decline that began about five years ago. From 2004-2010 fleet size at local NWICSA regattas averaged just over 16 boats. Attendance reached its nadir in 2014, with just nine boats at North/North and seven at Rainier Cup, two of the most popular regattas. Numbers have rebounded slightly the past two seasons, but they are still way below pre-2010 levels. The other troubling trend is that Northwest teams have been declining their berths to travel regattas and even some 28

national championship events. This season NWICSA left a Women’s SingleHanded Championship and Women’s Double-Handed Semi-Championship berth unfilled, which would have been unprecedented just a couple years ago. For all that is going right with high school sailing in our area - we’ve seen tremendous growth in the past two seasons - I’m not sure what’s happened to college sailing. Attendance records are being set each year, new teams formed, and for the first time the Northwest earned two berths to the High School National Championships. I’d like to think that we could simply wait for this momentum to catch up to college sailing, but that’s a dangerous assumption. I look to California, where college sailing has endured similar struggles lately, yet California is the largest high school sailing conference in the nation and has been absolutely dominant at the national level for the past fifteen years. Why aren’t they also winning college national championships? Our neighbors to the south do a great job developing talent and then? Poof! Where does it go? Many pack their bags and head east to attend college schools like Tufts or St. Mary’s. The East Coast is home to many powerhouse college teams, most with varsity status. Still not an NCAA sport, these varsity teams receive full funding from the athletic department, including travel and coaching, which simply can’t be matched here on the June 2016

www.48North.com

West Coast (with the exception of Stanford). The inequality between East and West Coasts has really grown, to the point where the most serious high school sailors consider the East Coast their only viable option. What no one prepares them for is the level of depth and competition they find when they get there. They might be one of the best high school sailors in the Northwest and then sit on the bench for four years at a big name school back east. This sounds harsh, but it happens more often than anyone would like. Occasionally these sailors transfer schools, return home, and begin their college sailing career as a sophomore or junior here in the Northwest. There are also sailors that simply stop sailing in college. This, to me, is more concerning. Time and effort are precious commodities, and some sailors are even less willing to sacrifice them if there are only ten boats on the starting line. Blowing off college sailing because the fleets were bigger and more competitive in high school is a destructive attitude and a contagious one. Even in a small district, there’s room for friendly rivalries and intense competition. But, what happens on the water is such a small detail when compared to the overall experience. College sailing is about packing into a smelly van and going on road trips every other weekend, supporting your teammates, making new friends, and learning valuable life lessons along the way. I remember being a freshman and feeling totally lost and overwhelmed when first arriving at college. Then I joined the sailing team and gained an instant family which remains with me to this day. Those friendships were forged around common goals, mutual respect and a passion for the sport. College sailing had a huge impact on my life, and it’s had a huge impact on the lives of other NWICSA alumni. NWICSA is also an important reservoir of talent, filling our area with industry professionals, instructors, and leaders. George Yioulus (Univ. Oregon) founded West Coast Sailing and has since filled out his staff with six other NWICSA alumni. From selling boots and spray tops out of his car to fellow college sailors, George and his team have grown their Portland based

business into one of the top dinghy retailers in the nation. Jeff Causey, of Portland State, established himself as a professional sailor and rigger after being one of the top sailors in NWICSA during the early 2000’s. He was a key player in Oracle Team USA’s defense of the America’s Cup in 2013. The Publisher and Advertising Director of this publication, Michael Collins, sailed on Western Washington University’s sailing team when they were sailing Penguins instead of FJs in the 1960s. Scott Wilson (WSU) taught himself how to race in college. Now he gives back to the sport by coaching a team of twenty high school sailors in Bellingham. NWICSA alums (including your author) manage programs or coach youth racing at places like Sail Sand Point, Olympia, Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Poulsbo, and Willamette Sailing Club to name a few. College sailing is vitally important to the health of the broader junior sailing community, but is rarely given much attention. I say all of this because I truly do believe that college sailing is worth saving here in the Northwest. The sailors are here (with more on the

way), so are the boats and facilities. How then can the broader sailing community help college sailing? As mentioned earlier, a big part of the challenge is rebuilding NWICSA’s reputation. With the current structure of ICSA, NWICSA will probably never win a national championship, but that shouldn’t eliminate it from the conversation when we talk with our younger sailors about their future The WWU Sailing Team at the 2005 North/South plans.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

Autopilot Appreciation Month Not much of a life really... ignored for weeks at a time until switched-on to work my electrons off going back and forth. Boring! What’s so great about chasing a number? Really, we’re going 240° again! Hey captain, live a little and push my +10 button once in awhile. No more being taken for granted. I think a ‘crazy Ivan’ will get your attention. Here we go, hard right rudder! Oh, yes you do have a pulse! Now let’s see you steer for awhile - beep! beep! beep! ‘Drive Stopped.’ In a way, the notion of autopilot began with singlehanded sailor, Joshua Slocum. During rough weather and being terribly sick, Slocum imagined a ghostly pilot from the ship Pinta, of Columbus’ fame, at the helm to safely guide Spray. Slocum’s pilot, along with sailors’ accounts of sea monsters and mermaids, brings to mind the day I wished for the apparition of John Crapper to fix a broken toilet. A mermaid would’ve been welcome also, but neither appeared. Fortunately, our autopilot was working fine so I could manage repairs while the kids stood watch. From fiction to ubiquity, self steering has come a long way. For pilotless Slocum, it was the long keel and balanced sail trim that really kept him on course. Not so long after Slocum, mechanical windvanes came into use. Early versions consisted of line connecting a windvane to a boat’s tiller. It worked, but not well.

prefer a windvane take to their high horse for a trot around the marina. I like the idea of windvane but the cost This evolved linking the windvane makes it unfeasible for us, and Totem’s to a small trim rudder instead of the center cockpit design and transom main rudder. Further refinements over profile makes it impractical. Totem’s second autopilot failure decades make windvanes of today a sound and common choice among came a few hours after the new autopilot installation, calibration, and cruisers. An electric self steering device, or test. On course for Juan de Fuca, the autopilot, was invented in 1970.

The problem this time was the during the years stowed below by previous owner.

problem. We also purchased a spare, which is still stowed today, seven years later. It may or may not work. Totem’s fifth autopilot failure was four years and 20,000 nautical miles later. While on Johor Strait between Malaysia and Singapore, with Singaporean patrol boat shadowing us, a scraping noise emerged from the lazerette. In no time we traced the sound to the autopilot drive unit once again. This time, a magnet inside the drive motor came loose. Singapore has a Raymarine dealer with parts, but we found their prices were ridiculously inflated. Instead, I bonded the magnet into place with the magic of JB Weld – a type of epoxy that works well on metal. Since then, we’ve crossed the Indian and Atlantic Oceans with motor and magnets working perfectly. Totem’s sixth, seventh, and eighth autopilot problem were inconveniences more than failures. Two small thrust bearings inside the drive unit, designed to keep the spinning things spinning with minimal friction, are worn and need more frequent servicing until they can be replaced. So every few thousand miles, the autopilot struggles in rugged conditions – a sign to clean and lube the parts again. Eight failures in eight years may not seem like such a good record. Most issues were minor or stem from the 22 year old drive unit, the only component we didn’t replace in 2008. Had we gotten the drive professionally serviced then, failure rate would likely be lower. Still, no failure caused a marathon hand steering session across 40,000 nautical miles and 6,500 hours of use in wide ranging conditions. There was some luck and some creative

field repairs required, both elements of getting along with an autopilot while sailing long distances. If you think new and expensive autopilot is a trouble-free guarantee, think again. Along the way, we’ve known a number of cruisers with new autopilot failures, much like our one year old electronic compass failure. A good working knowledge of each component part, in particular the drive unit, is a must if going offshore. Spare components, or even a redundant and ready to go autopilot is great, though expensive and still The autopilot under control while “Totem” is undeway. no guarantee of hands-free steering. directly to the quadrant, steered us And hands-free steering doesn’t perfectly.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert

Summertime brings on lots of jellyfish. We have over a dozen species here, but none is more impressive than the Lion’s Mane, also known as the Sea Nettle. Cold water creatures, they usually grow to the size of a bushel basket, but some have been found a heck of a lot larger. In 1870, one washed up that was over 120 feet long with a bell over seven feet wide. Using armed tentacles, they sting their prey into submission, then the arms draw food towards the hidden mouth – which strangely also acts to expel waste in a sort of rare in-out procedure. The jellyfish feed mostly on zooplankton, small fish and moon jellies. They tend to attract schools of fish and other stuff that use them for protection but become food, like hanging out at the devil’s door. Yes, those tentacles sting, and they have eight sets of them, each containing up to a 150 very sticky tentacles. Stick your arm in there and it will feel like you’ve fallen into a nettle patch as little triggered darts blast out from those

1200 tentacles to shoot venom into prey (or you!). Don’t worry, vinegar helps and it’s rarely fatal! These large creatures only have a one-year life cycle and here’s how it works. Lion’s Mane jellyfish rarely go deeper than about 60 feet and depend on currents to move them around. As they get bigger in late summer, winds sweep them to shore and we often see them as red beach globs. There are four stages of a jelly’s life. Females carry fertilized eggs in their tentacles until they grow into larva, then she deposits them on rocks where they soon grow into polyps that look like little plants. As they grow though yet another stage as free-floating star-like creatures called ephyraes, and finally emerge to become fully grown jellyfish – all in a single yearly cycle. So, from now until Fall, look for these interesting creatures close to the surface throughout the Salish Sea. I think they’re very painterly as they slowly pulse past the boat.

ize matters — at least that’s what the world thinks. But when it comes to boats, is big always better than little? That’s the question for today. For 19 years, Becky and I were the proud owners and frequent cruisers of a 26-foot trailerable MacGregor sloop named Three Eagles (in honor of our three sons who each earned the Eagle rank as Boy Scouts). It was a wonderful boat and we sailed her as often and as far as we could. Being trailerable, she carried us to adventures all over the western states, until we finally settled down on the Olympic Peninsula and concentrated our cruising on the Salish Sea. After more than a decade here, with big water and distant cruising horizons before us, we started thinking about a bigger boat. What is it about a bigger boat? We’ve all heard of two-foot-itis, where no matter what your boat length is, you feel the need for another two feet. But for us, we didn’t nibble our way up from 26 to 28 and then to 30, and 34

so on. We investigated 30s and 32s, but when we made the decision to upsize, we jumped a full eight feet in hull length and bought a vintage Catalina 34 we named Dream Catcher. We had considered a couple of 36s, but decided that 34 was actually perfect for us. Now, the issue is whether or not that was a wise decision. Is bigger always better? To try to answer that question, let’s take a very frank look at the pros and cons. When it comes to boats, every person’s collection of “needs” or “wants” is going to be different. So what appears to be a “pro” or a “con” to us might not fit your definition. But here’s how it appears to us. Cons of the Bigger Boat A bigger boat costs more money. It’s true not only for the initial purchase, but for every day of ownership thereafter. Slip fees are higher and marine state park passes June 2016

cost more. Insurance premiums cost more. Every piece of equipment (dock lines, fenders, anchor and other components of the ground tackle, running rigging, etc.) is heftier and thus more expensive. A bigger boat requires additional equipment that you might not need on a smaller boat — more fire extinguishers, perhaps a windlass to haul up that heavier anchor, more bilge pumps, and so on. A bigger boat might be more difficult to handle. Herding a big, beamy boat into a tight marina slip might raise the blood pressure a bit, as you shoehorn into the narrow space beside a neighboring boat. Learning to deal with the inertia of a heavy vessel requires practice to figure out how long it takes for the boat’s momentum to dissipate when approaching a mooring buoy or dock, or other boats. How fast does the big boat turn, how fast does it stop, what does it do when powering in reverse, how much is it affected by cross currents and cross winds? Then there’s the issue of draft. With Three Eagles, we had retractable centerboard and rudders, so we could actually beach the boat if we wanted to. That’s clearly not the case with Dream Catcher, with her nearly six-foot draft. Maintenance. With a big boat, you have to do haul outs to take care of maintenance below the waterline. Haul outs cost money and are a pain to schedule and execute. I used to be able to do the same work on Three Eagles while it sat on its trailer in our back yard. And then there’s the engine. Servicing the outboard was simple — everything was easy to reach. Access to the diesel on Dream Catcher takes more work. Diesel engines are very sensitive about two things — fuel quality and oil, so filter changes are frequent. And there are internal zincs in places like the heat exchanger that need to be checked and replaced. So, the bigger boat costs more in terms of money and labor to perform routine maintenance. Limited cruising grounds. We can’t easily put Dream Catcher on a trailer and haul her to Florida if we want to cruise the Bahamas — but we could have easily done that with Three Eagles. Bigger boats are usually “stuck” in their native locations, which might be perceived as a negative.

Pros of the Bigger Boat The cost of the bigger boat can be offset. For six months of the year, Three Eagles sat in our driveway on its trailer. While that eliminated the cost of marina fees, it also eliminated the use of the boat. Our philosophy is that if you want to own a boat, make sure it isn’t just taking up space in a marina and growing green stuff all over it. Use the boat. After upsizing to Dream Catcher, we use the boat year around. Getting away from the house for a vacation on the boat doesn’t necessarily mean we hoist the sails and go anyplace — we’re already someplace that visiting boaters love to come to. So, we spend the night on the boat, or have a Friday night date and grill our dinner then kick back in the fully-enclosed cockpit and watch the stars come out. Sometimes, we cast off the docklines and go for an evening sail, drop anchor and watch the sun set. The point is that we enjoy the use of the boat all year because we don’t have to spend a couple hours towing the boat to a ramp and raising the rig just so we can be on the boat. To us, it’s worth the money.

A smaller boat comes out ahead when trying to squeeze into a tight spot along a dock. It’s like parallel parking a VW bug vs. a limousine. With the smaller boat, we could often find space where larger boats wouldn’t have a chance. The smaller boat also wins the day when it comes to low tide or shallow water, often able to grab the empty dock space nearer to shore than deeper-draft boats could handle. The bigger boat might be easier to handle. In some respects, this turned out to be true for our boat. The deep keel and bigger rudder help Dream Catcher turn on a dime. After 19 years of dealing with fudge factors to make sure we turned Three Eagles at just the right moment to muscle her into the slip, and often having to back up and try again, I am still stunned at how precisely Dream Catcher turns. As long as we scrub off the momentum before making the final

turn into the slip, we can glide silently and gracefully into place without a lot of drama. Admittedly, I crashed (no damage) the first couple of times, but that was because I wasn’t used to the

momentum of a heavy boat. With Three Eagles, we had to muscle through the turn and then slam her into reverse. With Dream Catcher, we go from idle forward into neutral 50 yards out, and she carries her weight forward and turns almost as if by magic. As far as draft is concerned, yes, it’s a issue. But in all honesty, we always sailed with Three Eagles’ centerboard fully down, and that drew a full six feet.

boat is much slower and easier that it was with our water-ballasted smaller boat that immediately felt every bump. Even though the motion is slower, the cruising speed is much faster under sail than our smaller boat. Efficiency. Because Dream Catcher sails so well, we sail more often than we did with Three Eagles. And because the engine is now diesel instead of gas, fuel efficiency is much higher. This past summer, we took three weeklong cruises to the San Juans. The first was in Three Eagles, just before we sold her. Each trip crossed the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Sequim Bay to the islands. With Three Eagles, most of the trip was under power, either because there was no wind or too much wind. So we always stopped in Friday Harbor before returning across the Strait, to top off our gasoline for the 50-horsepower Honda. After selling Three Eagles, we took two week-long shakedown cruises in Dream Catcher. Same distance, same conditions, but we sailed or motorsailed all the time. Our engine is a Universal 25, and we have a 3-blade prop. After the first

trip, I started thinking the fuel gauge was broken, because it still indicated full. Feeling adventurous (perhaps some would say foolish), we took off on the second voyage without topping off the tank. By the end of the second week, the fuel gauge was down about a quarter. When we returned to John Wayne Marina, the first stop was the fuel dock. Total fuel consumption for the two separate week-long trips came to 7.1 gallons. I used to use that much for a one-way trip across to Friday Harbor in Three Eagles. Expanded cruising grounds. Even though we might have been able to trailer Three Eagles to distant locations (Florida, for example), we never did. Our desire to spend days on the highway scoping out remote watering holes dissipated once we discovered the cruising paradise in our own backyard. Dream Catcher opened up distant cruising grounds that we would never have explored with Three Eagles. Not only that, but it expanded our cruising calendar to months that we would not have sailed a smaller, lighter boat.

And so… After all this talk of pros and cons, what do we come away with? Before upsizing, be honest about the costs in money and labor of such a decision. Every boat, new or used, no matter how pretty she is and how perfect she looks, is going to need some attention (money and labor). But also consider what that money and labor is buying you in terms of enjoyment — if you have the time and freedom to use the boat. For us, moving up to Dream Catcher has proven to be a good choice. She was well cared for by her previous owner, a former Navy man with a love for maintenance. Even so, she still needed some work. We took over where he left off and brought her the rest of the way up to Bristol condition. And now she’s ready for farther horizons. But recognize that a bigger boat is not necessarily right for everybody. Sail what you have, and love every minute on the water. As your life evolves, weigh the pros and cons of moving up.

s we approached Panama, the ship traffic greatly increased near Punta Mariato and, unfortunately, so did our head winds and contrary current. It ended up being a long, wet, rough night as we motorsailed into a vicious chop, double-reefed and smashing into seemingly square seas resulting from the relatively shallow water. After clearing into Panama, we decided to sail for Isla Taboga, six miles away, for a little relaxation. Also known as the Island of Flowers this small volcanic Isla has a colorful past. The name Taboga is derived from the indigenous peoples’ word, aboga, meaning “many fish,” although conquistador Vasco Nunez de Balboa, the first European to cross the Panama Isthmus, named the island Isla de San Pedro. The following conquistadors enslaved the indigenous peoples and the beach-side town of San Pedro was founded in 1524 around a church that now claims to be the second-oldest church in the Western Hemisphere. The island thereafter endured a long history of colonization, plundering, fortification and the establishment of a sanatorium by the F re n c h , w h i c h t h e n became a vacation resort and internment camp under the Americans.

La Playita Marina, located on Amador Causeway, provided us with scenic views of the canal and Panama City for a week. A highlight for John and our crew was the first ever one-day public viewing of the canal expansion. Tour buses shuttled 45,000 people to a walking tour through the last stages of construction of three of the new 16 giant locks. The multi-billion-dollar expansion will accommodate vessels 25% longer and more than 50% wider than the current Panamax ships with an increase from 4,500 containers to 12,000. As it was an early start, our guide, Elias, suggested the following hearty Panamanian breakfast.

Thankfully our canal transit went smoothly and we made it through in a day, before spending the night at Shelter Bay Marina. Portobelo was our next anchorage, a wild-west kind of end-of-the-road town which had been a major Spanish port for the transporting of silver and gold. Looking for a place ashore to leave the dinghy while we explored, we noticed a new “Casa Vela” (sail house) sign on a waterfront house. Here we met Ray and Birgit: a German couple who do welding and sail making along with hosting drinks. Birgit also offers lunch. There’s no menu so you eat whatever she decides to make. After a hike and drinks at Casa Vela we returned to Mahina Tiare for a Lebanese dinner inspired by “Beirut,” a lively restaurant we’d enjoyed while at Amador. Before heading out across the Caribbean to Antigua we’ll visit the San Blas Islands after which we hope to make Puerto Rico our next landfall to help break up the passage.

T he S ail maker S essions Flying Sails are Not Just for Downwind Sailing By Don Yager, of Yager Sails The Sailmaker Sessions is a recurring series in 48Â° North where we feature a different local sailmaker in two formats. Each magazine has an informational article written by the featured sailmaker. As a complement to the article in the magazine, the sailmaker will participate in an interview focusing on their background and current interests in the world of sailing. The interview will be published on the new www.48north.com. Spinnaker designs and their various uses have changed a lot over the years. Whether racing or cruising, we are asking more from these sails than ever before. Sometimes called flying sails or loose-luffed sails, they are playing a bigger role in keeping the boats moving in light air on all points of sail, and are on display frequently

around the Pacific Northwest summer sailing season. The versatility of these sails can be attributed to improvements in various technologies including cloth, thread, line, and design software. Essentially, many of these principles apply some old ideas made better with some new toys and technology. Freeing the third edge and making a sail looseluffed allows the sailor to adjust the shape of the sail in three dimensions, changing camber, luff tension, and draft for a wide range of use. Some of the equipment that is used to fly spinnakers, gennakers, drifters, asymmetrical spinnakers and Code 0 sails has improved the ability to use them with a smaller crew, and also makes the sails more forgiving when the wind decides to increase without warning. Spinnaker socks have been around for years, but are worth mentioning as a good tool to use for powerful flying sails. When I teach boat owners how to use socks, I mention that they can keep the sail up in increasing winds by reefing with the sock before bringing the sock all the way down and using the headsails to keep moving and under control. A more recent development are the spinnaker The equipment that makes flying sails easier to furling solutions, including use can also help you depower them when the Code 0 furlers, asymmetrical breeze comes up. spinnaker furlers and newer

top-down furlers, any of which can make it easier to use, set, and douse a flying sail shorthanded. Additionally, we now have a variety of bowsprit poles that can be used to move the spinnakers forward. When using flying sails in their downwind application, the pole gives the sail separation from the main, resulting in cleaner air, better projection to windward, and consequently, better running performance. In reaching and pointing modes, sprit poles open up new worlds of balance between the mainsail and the flying headsail. Many traditional designs that have a lot of weather helm can find new speed and efficiency in light air, when the center of effort is moved forward by having a big flying sail tacked on some sort of sprit. There are numerous pole design options on the market today, many of which can be added to older boats. The size of the pole should be determined by the sail area of the spinnakers, to ensure the poles and brackets are strong enough to handle the loads from powerful sails used on various of points of sail. Today, sailmakers have many choices for cloth, and different weights and materials are ideal for different purposes. With radial designs, mixing different weights of cloth can improve windward performance and allow a flying sail to be used in higher wind ranges. Challenge, Bainbridge, Dimension and Contender all have spinnaker cloth, code 0 cloth, and light air laminates, which can be used to build this type of sail. There are many different types of nylon available, in weights from extremely light up to remarkably heavy. This gives many different options for cloth choice depending on the sailmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design, as well as the boat ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget and desired experience. As a designer and sailmaker, I like to be creative mixing weights of spinnaker cloth, changing the panel designs to match up with how the sail is to be used. I like the star cut panel design. It gives the sail designer the ability to place all of the panels in lines of load. The clew, head, and tack all have radial panels that meet in the

middle to make a very strong sail that will take the pressure of sheeting the sail in higher wind ranges. I also like the bi-radial design for drifter-type sails for smaller boats. Some free flying sails benefit from the advancements of modern, nostretch line. This line can be extremely light and still bear very high loads, allowing for the inclusion of a luffline in flying sails. No-stretch luff-lines enable the tension in the leading edge to be adjusted, from fairly tight when you’re pointing to some sag when reaching, to very round when running. The sail design here is still paramount - by designing sag in the luff before placing the proper draft in the sail, these sails can be used as a working headsail in lighter air. Clew height may vary for flying sails, but is especially critical for flying sails to sheet correctly when

Flying sail versatility and strength can be enhanced by using design principles often reserved for dedicated headsails, such as small, tight panels that are seam-heavy, and also using high-quality, heavy thread instead of glue.

reaching or pointing, much like a genoa or jib. This requires some knowledge of a specific boat’s genoa car position or spinnaker blocks. For spinnakers that need to reach, like a Code 0 or A1 asymmetrical, the clew will be lower and the sheeting angle will significantly affect efficiency. For spinnakers that prioritize off-the-wind performance, the sheeting angle is not as much an issue and the clew’s position can be higher, which helps the sail stay full when driving deeply A good example of a versatile down-wind oriented spinnaker whose luff could be pulled tightly down to the sprit for better downwind. reaching and pointing performance.

Replace your Standing Rigging

o T -

By Jack and Alex Wilken

there are design considerations like the oversizing of rigging on cruising boats. This means that all loads will be a smaller percentage of the breaking strength, therefore reducing stress on the rig. You can find numbers like 10 or 20 years and as short as 7 years in the tropics, again taking what we just wrote into consideration. We have seen boats with rigging that is 30 plus years old with no failures, deformation, or obvious visual signs of degradation. Deciding to change all or some of the rigging can be about peace of mind or following the clues in the abovementioned article. This month’s article is about replacing your rigging with stainless steel wire rope. We are not going to try to cover the splicing of wire rope, the use of synthetic fiber rope for rigging replacement, or stainless rod rigging, as each of these would require its own dedicated article. It would be nice if you could just get the specs on your boat and make up your new rigging from that, but each boat’s rigging needs to be measured. This is for various reasons, not the least of which is that boats get modified by their owners as the years go by. Choosing how you plan to do this project is a place to start. The shrouds and stays will need to come off the mast, but you can either do this with the mast still stepped or with it off the boat. With the mast down, laying on saw horses or stands, you will be able to remove all the Figure 1: Removing cotter pins is easily done with a cotter pin rigging at once, but puller, “A”, or side cutters, “B”.

Over the past years, we have written about different aspects of standing rigging. This article is about replacing standing rigging that has seen better days. This might mean one shroud or stay that has been damaged, or the entire rig. “When should I replace my rigging?” is a question we hear all the time, and it has several answers. The first is when you see signs of deformation, breakage, or corrosionall conditions outlined in our article “Check that Rigging - inspecting those things that support your mast” from the July 2011 48° North. Then, there are many different suggestions as to how many years might be the safe lifetime of 1 X 19 stainless steel wire rope. The problem with these time estimates is that they depend on various factors. The environment is critical; the Tropics will shorten the life more than the Pacific Northwest. Of course, how the boat is used has an effect too, because a racing boat will usually see consistently higher loads than a day sailor. Next,

mast aloft. Forward and aft lowers or aft lowers with a babystay will allow you to remove the upper shrouds and the headstay/backstay, and the reverse will also work. This will require that someone goes up the mast and does some of the dismantling while in a bosuns chair, not the most stable working condition, but certainly doable. No matter which way you go with this project, unstepping the mast or in the two stages, you will need to loosen turnbuckles and remove cotter and clevis pins. Start a couple of days early with penetrating oil, being careful not to get any on the deck. Sometimes, we find a turnbuckle that does not respond and we need to use a heat gun; do not use an open flame because too much heat can destroy it. When you do get it to move, work it back and forth applying oil as you go. Make sure to hold the upper end of the turnbuckle or the lower swage on the wire so it will not twist and loosen or tighten the lay of the wire. Removing cotter pins is most easily done with side cutters or a cotter pin puller (Figure 1). A pin punch of a little smaller diameter than the clevis pin you are removing with a hammer works well, but it may be a three-handed job if the pin is aiming overboard. Whether you do all the rigging at once or in two stages, it may be helpful to print out a rigging diagram of your boat to mark up with measurements and terminal fitting identifications (www.sailboatdata.com). Before you start taking things apart, take a look at the whole rig. Make sure the rig is tuned correctly and that there is still adjustment on all the turnbuckles or backstay adjusters, (reference 48° North from June 2013 - “Mast Tuning - increase your boat’s performance and safety” and May 2016 - “Install an Adjustable Backstay”). Are there any extra toggles or turnbuckles without toggles that should have them? Mark all the turnbuckle thread positions. We do this with vinyl tape, often called ‘electrical tape.’ Since you will be loosening the turnbuckle, the tape you put on the threads will remain in place. When the rigging is off the mast, it can be measured. This will include the diameter of the wire rope as well as

the length from the center of the hole in the terminal to the one at the other end, or to the end of the tee or stud. The diameter can be measured by either a rigging gauge or calipers (Figure 2). The tape measure should be longer than the longest piece of rigging. It is important that there be room to stretch out the rigging full length to measure it. This can be a location that is long enough with a solid place on the ground to anchor one end of the stay or shroud and the tape measure so that they can be pulled out tight to get the most accurate measurement. At this point identify the two end fittings; there are many possibilities. Do not assume anything. Lay out the old wire with turnbuckle on it at the position of the mark on the threads. Then, when you draw or lay out the new wire, do it with the turnbuckle at 50% thread extension. Measure the diameter of the hole for the eyes and forks as well as the width and thickness of the body and/ or slot of the fork. There is a standard marine eye and fork, but these are not always what are used by boat manufacturers, or the last person who did rigging on the boat. Stem ball and “T” terminals as well as threaded studs are the other commonly used fittings, but the nomenclature often varies. In some cases, for a given wire size, there may be more than one pin size or thread size for studs, so, if you do not want any surprises, measure

Figure 2: The diameter can be measured by either calipers, “A”, or a rigging gauge, “B.”

Figure 3: This piece of hardwood is drilled with different size holes, “A” and “B”, to accommodate various sizes of wire. The guide slot “C” was cut on a table saw.

All clevis pins must fit the fitting into which they go, so, no 7/16” holes with 3/8” clevis pins, for example. We make a drawing of the rigging and then dimension it with details for the fittings. Print out drawings of individual fittings and dimension them. Measure twice before you order or begin cutting your rigging. Assuming you are using 1 x 19 stainless steel wire rope, you still have the choice between 316, 304 or compacted wire rope. 316 is more corrosion resistant while 304 is stronger for the same diameter. The compacted wire rope in 316 is similar in strength to 304 with 25% less stretch than either 316 or 304. In order of price, high to low, it is compacted, 316, and 304. Having chosen which wire rope you will use, let us look at what you want to put on the end of each stay or shroud. Beyond whether it is a marine eye or threaded stud, etc. is the choice of swaged fittings which must be installed by a shop that has the proper equipment. These are large hydraulic affairs, and it is important to check to see that the shop has a good reputation for the work that they do. Without the right equipment, they cannot do a good job, but this is not a guarantee of their quality control. The other way to go is to use compression fittings. There are three major manufacturers of these, and the biggest difference is that one www.48North.com

is completely reusable while the other two require that you use new cones when reusing. Installing compression fittings require some cutting device for the wire, two or three good adjustable wrenches depending on the sizes of fittings that are being installed, a small straight screw driver, and, preferably, a vise. This means you or a rigger you trust can do the job. The cost will be higher the first time, but if you keep the boat long enough to replace all or some of the rigging again, you can, as we said, reuse the fittings. This, of course, is a big plus at sea or in some remote area of the world where no big swaging machine is available. These fittings are incredibly strong if assembled correctly. After the initial assembly, you open it up and inspect that everything is as it should be, so there is a high level of security. Headsail furlers often need the lower fitting on the headstay to be a compression fitting so that the wire can pass through the extrusion. If you are using a swaged fitting at the top of the headstay, you will want to remove or cut the old upper fitting off so you can use the old wire to pull the new wire through the extrusion. This does not always work, but your best chance is by using very thin tape- we use splicing tape- to marry the two wires end to end. Then feed the new wire in at the top while putting very little tension 43

Figure 4: When inserting the cone, “C”, into the 1 x 19 wire rope to install a compression fitting, we use a small, straight screw driver, “A”, to separate and arrange the individual wire strands, “B”. This fitting has a wire separator, “D”, to space the strands evenly around the cone.

on the old wire that is coming out the bottom. The old wire is a guide to get the new wire past any obstructions. If you can avoid taking the whole furling apparatus apart, it is a plus. The wire can be cut with levered cutters as long as you are careful to hold everything straight so you do not wind up with crooked cuts. A vise is important in this case. The next choice is a fine toothed hack saw blade, 32 Teeth Per Inch, with a cutting guide

(Figure 3, page 43) and cutting oil. Sometimes an angle grinder is used, especially, with larger diameter wire, but we avoid it because of the amount of heating of the wire. Each manufacturer gives detailed instructions for mounting their product. That being said, they are all similar, and we use a small straight screw driver to separate and arrange the individual wire strands (Figure 4). The use of polysulfide or some

non-acidic sealant as well as thread lock is a common practice, and we have not seen any negative chemical interactions, or contraindications, over the years from. Renewing your rigging is like many projects on a boat: when you break it down into a logical set of steps or separate, smaller jobs, it will not look overwhelming. If you are going to the tropics, go 316 for the wire rope. It is not uncommon to see a swage fitting at the upper end of rigging and compression fittings at the bottom where the swages suffer the most from corrosion; this does save weight and money and lets you lay the old and the new rigging piece side by side for the final length adjustment. Again, measure twice, cut once. When you are done and looking at your new, gleaming standing rigging, it does give a very nice feeling.

Built in 1909, the 50’ “Winsome” sank at her mooring in the 1970s. She was raised shortly after, then purchased by Mark Lehrdal for $10. Photo by Margot “Penny” Mills.

T he Winsome Floats Again after 30 Years By Margot “Penny” Mills

he Winsome is a 1909 50’ sailboat restored and launched on February 11, 2016 by Seattle-based plank-onframe mechanic and ship’s caulker, Mark G. Lerdahl. I became acquainted with Mark through John Sylvester, my shipwright fiancée. I have come to love the genius of craftsmanship within Mark’s head and hands, and the chaos of his shop made me feel much at home in the timeless junkyard-style lot. I began to realize that I was delving into a sea story in the making. In the 1970’s, before the Winsome came into its current ownership with Mark, it had been home to a liveaboard family in a marina on the canal in Ballard. Unfortunately, they neglected to maintain general upkeep of the vessel and eventually, tired and old, the Winsome sank to the bottom of the canal. There she remained for about three weeks before someone acquired salvage rights and she was floated by divers then drydocked in Tim Regan’s boatyard near the Duwamish. She was

there for a few years until she was fatefully paired with Lerdahl, bought for $10, the receipt written on the back of a cocktail napkin from the Sloop Tavern. The Winsome has been out of the water ever since, until this spring. Originally built by C.D. Callahan out of San Pedro California for Frank Hay of Fulton Marine, the Winsome was to be constructed as an “unusually strong and seaworthy vessel…one that would be fast and handsome” and meet the Universal Rule of measurements for racing in the Southern California Waters, according to Thomas Fleming Day in a 1910 Rudder Magazine. Winsome was rigged as a gaff yawl, though Mark has re-rigged the boat as a ketch. Respecting the originality of the vessel, Mark hand cast most of the bronze pieces of the boat; including the mainsail stays, tracts, cleats, buckles, chain plates, and stanchions. The boat was reconstructed stem to stern with 100% new planking, and only a few sections of the original Winsome www.48North.com

June 2016

incorporated into the new construction. A section of the keel remains intact below the zincs, as well as a section of scrollwork on the transom, and the Sampson posts on the bow. Mark also restored the original glass leaded hatches. Port Orford Cedar decks reach the length of the topside of her beamy hull, with ample room for trimming the sails. Below deck she boasts gorgeous natural hanging knees and elegant bronze hardware warmly lit by the generous skylights. Rudder claimed her to be “one of the finest yachts on the Pacific Coast” at the time of her build, and after this fine restoration, the same holds true in my mind. It is worth noting that the Rudder magazine article was part of Mark’s inspiration to purchase the boat. With the last 30 years of labor under Mark’s belt on the shore in the Salmon Bay neighborhood of Seattle, the Winsome, now ready to launch, had to be dug out from the depths of the falloff lumber and machinery used to re-create this masterpiece. 45

was wasted rushing any of the Winsome’s construction. However, the time had come for Mark to move his shop, thus the inevitability of the launching of the Winsome had come to the present. In my newfound friendship with one of the greatest and saltiest shipwrights on the lake, I had been blessed with the opportunity to aid Mark in digging the diamond out of the rough. Two weeks before the launch, Mark, John, and I, with the help of Mark’s brother and nephew, began to slowly move an immense Bottom paint was among the last of the pre-splash projects. amount of materials: from scrap metal and Mark’s cantankerous and sometimes lumber, to heavy duty power tools hard-to-work-with personality seasoned such as a late 1800’s Crescent planer, a spice of life within me and inspired tablesaw, bandsaw, and a treadle the boat-life I was beginning to call hammer, as well as handfuls of jack my own. I quickly learned that no time stands, ladders, motorcycles, a trailer,

and countless contractor bags bound for the dump. From sun up to after dark, day after day, we eventually cleared the chaos from around the boat. Then came the bottom paint and brightwork on the decks. All the while, we were accompanied by Mark’s lovely daughter, Disa, who had grown up with the Winsome. She remembers the days she was a child in a playpen on the deck of the boat while Mark planked and caulked the new hull. I remember seeing a carving in the door frame of the shop that read “WINSOME SAILS FOREVER” carved by a younger Disa, reminding us all that these ships of glory can be immortal when paired with the right shipwright and timeless vision. When the time came to take down the staging and carefully load the vessel onto the truck, Mark could be found holed up in the stern tallowing the shaft log while his old shop and yard buzzed with excitement. The Winsome was set in the salt water with her rebuilt hull at Seaview West boatyard at Shilshole Bay Marina. The Launch party was one of the most spectacular events I had ever been

a part of. Being a young brightworker, learning my way around the lake, I had the opportunity to familiarize myself with legends and history of the wooden boat community. In attendance at the launch of the Winsome were Mark and his family, friends, and peers. Also among the crowd of supporters at the launch was William Prothero, son of Frank Prothero, whose family owned the Winsome when she first came to Seattle. William Prothero spent a fair amount of time sailing aboard the Winsome as a child and it was wonderful to meet him, hear his childhood stories of the boat, and to be apart of such a unique and historic event. The most incredible element of the re-creation of the 1909 Winsome is the fine craftsmanship and dedication that lies within Mark Lerdahl’s hands and mind. Mark told me that when he purchased the vessel he figured it would take him 10 months to a year and a half to reconstruct the 50-foot vessel. Nearly 30 years later he has finally launched his rebuilt Winsome. All the while, Mark has remained true to his trade. Guarded by his vikinglike demeanor, the 6’6” shipwright

continues to honor the knowledge, and respect the tradition of the boat builders and shipwrights that came before him. Mark has worked on many boats around the lakes and waterways of Washington from fish boats to fine classic wooden yachts. Though I’m new to the trade, I find it unusually rare to come across someone who’s committed himself to such a feat of excellence in the shipbuilding craft, even in an area with such a vibrant and historic boating community like ours. Many boat owners can be overzealous with the ever-expanding market for fiberglass boats, but the craft of plank-on-frame construction is a craft that ought to be treasured. It is unique to wooden boats like the Winsome and the beloved Lake Union Dreamboats, among other classic wooden yachts of similar era. Many shipwrights and boatyards in the Northwest can “Winsome” proudly afloat on Puget Sound. accommodate this type of wooden boat building or restoration, yet I am so lucky to know Mark and to have know of no other adventurous sailor or been a small part of the Winsome story. yachtsman with as much enthusiasm or Seattle native Margot “Penny” Mills skill who has undertaken a restoration is an aspiring brightworker, photographer, of this magnitude, especially of such a and writer, who enjoys working with her noteworthy classic yacht such as this.

Race to the Straits

oing into my first experience with distance racing on my own boat, G I wasn’t really sure what to expect.

After getting out on my J/24, Flyer, for the Puget Sound Spring Regatta and feeling pretty good about how the boat handled, I looked forward to trying my hand at some distance racing and going further north on the boat than just Spring Beach buoy on Mondays. My pre-race planning had me going back and forth over a desire to learn as much as possible about the tides, currents, weather, and learning tips and tricks from seasoned skippers while at the same time going off what I’m more comfortable with - winging it. The current comes in, the current goes out. How hard can it be to sail to Port Townsend? Oh boy…. Getting to the boat at Shilshole

early on Saturday morning, my girlfriend Anna and I rigged the boat and tuned the rig for some light air sailing. Out on the water, there was about a quarter of a knot of wind. By our starting time, we were drifting sideways to the start line, but heading north in the current while also trying not to get run down by some large bowsprit equipped boats. Pointing the bow north, a few of the 137 boats soon found a breeze that came and went, then came again, before finally shutting down for a siesta at noon. At this point we had reached over to the Kingston side of the Sound before the failed breeze becalmed the entire fleet. Around 1:00 pm, I mentioned to Anna that just motoring to Port Townsend at this point would take us at least four hours. So that was it for Saturday’s race and we took off

under power for PT with an early arrival and dockside beers in the sun on our minds. The time limit ran out before anyone reached the half way mark, though many boats retired before then. Our motorboat ride north went splendidly until we got to Marrowstone Island. At this point a sweet 10-15 knots of wind came out of the northwest so our sails came back out and we enjoyed a flatwater sail up the lee of the island. As we sailed northward the wind increased. Then increased a little more. It was becoming apparent that one of those seasoned veteran’s words started ringing true: “Be careful of the wind building upwards of 30 knots in PT near the end of the day.” With just the two of us on the rail of Flyer and wind building into the upper 20s, we took a couple knockdowns in the gusts coming over the hill. We needed to get the jib down before we got knocked down again or broke something. At this point I could also see around the top of Marrowstone Island towards Port Townsend and the Straits and noticed we were going to be in for quite the ride. The wind built to around 35 knots as we rounded the point. With waves pressing against the building ebb tide, our ride on Flyer was either underwater or airborne. I was very thankful everything held together and that it was only an hour or so before we reached the safety and relative calm of Point Hudson Marina. The biggest worry that evening was the boats that were unaccounted for as darkness set in and the high winds continued. Thankfully through the work of the race committee, other racers, and vessel assist, all of the late comers were found and helped into the marina. Sunday came with a beautiful sunrise over Whidbey Island but the weather forecast brought a mixed bag of feelings. Scattered rain showers and southerly winds made it seem like another slow day was in store, but as we got started again and sailed towards Marrowstone Point a light wind from the west-southwest allowed the spinnaker to come up. We made good time to the point where all the real fun happened.

Marrowstone landed us at the strongest point in the “Rock Lobster” and “Rascal” ebb tide and the current at Marrowstone Lighthouse. was ripping around the point. As we approached, boat after boat sailed out into the current and were swiftly pushed to the north. As we positioned ourselves near our competition, we saw several boats tack in the current and head back towards the beach in what looked like only several feet of water. Not having a depth sounder and wanting to avoid run-ins with the bottom, we headed out into the current with the plan to sail over towards southern end and decided to finally the east. After more than two hours cross over to Whidbey Island and of going nowhere through the water make way towards Double Bluff but getting set north a couple miles, and hopefully at least get a half way we finally tacked and made it back score. The wind was starting to taper to the point. Most of our fleet and off again as we reached the buoy and others vanished into Admiralty Bay. after a misjudging of the tides we After what seemed like an did a starboard rounding inside the incredibly long period of time tacking buoy while sailing on a broad reach up Marrowstone we reached the pointing away from it.

Thankfully we made it around and sailed off towards Point No Point in the dying breeze. Once again we found ourselves drifting in a light following wind towards Kingston. I was worried at this point that we might miss the 7:00pm cut-off time to finish. Around 5:30pm the breeze filled back in from the north and the last few miles from Kingston to Shilshole were a hoot. The spinnaker was up and pulling hard and we were flying relative to the boats left on the Edmonds side. What a relief it was to pull back to the dock at Shilshole, clean the boat and ourselves up, and have a cold beer before heading to the Sloop for the post-race party and awards. by Scott Galbraith photos by Jan Anderson results: www.styc.org

Oak Harbor Yacht Club

’Round Whidbey Island Andy Schwenk's “Wild Rumpus” and Shannon Buy's “Veritgo.” photo by Dennis Pearce

he new North Sound Sailing Championship has now completed two of the four races in the series. After a blustery Shaw Island Winter Classic, Oak Harbor Yacht Club’s ‘Round Whidbey Island race kicked off Saturday, April 30th, under sunny skies and favorable breezes. The start was just west of Deception Pass and after a terrific night of hospitality at OHYC, the crews were eager to do battle as the 10:00am start gun sounded. Well, maybe some of them were, It’s always interesting to visit Oak Harbor Marina when Whidbey Race Week is not underway, it always seems like something is missing. Well something is! Hmmm where is my rum glass? But back to this yarn. The fleet got off without a hitch in blazing sunshine for the first mark at Partridge Point. From there, spinnakers blossomed as the smart boats worked the shallows off Whidbey to avoid foul current as the big boat fleet competing in the Seattle Yacht Club’s Smith Island fleet marched north up the middle of the Sound, heavily canvassed and making good time. We peeled off our shirts and cranked up the tunes. Usually I'll wait till I'm farther offshore for this kind of thing, but as I get older and complete those procedures that only folks with AARP eligibility are burdened with, I'm not as shy. Maybe I'll get a red hat to complete the ensemble.

It was a gorgeous day for a sail and all the boats stacked up at Possession Point, the halfway point to see what Mother Nature had in store for the journey north to the finish at the entrance to Oak Harbor. White sails were the order of the evening as boats swapped tacks and pleasantries on the beat north through Saratoga Passage, some boats tucked a reef or simply heeled a bunch as the wind stayed in the high teens until the sunset drenched the fleet in a warm orange glow. Barbeques were christened and the water stayed calm enough to keep the tube steaks from jumping overboard. Soon it was the battle of the ETAs as expectant drivers waiting at home called to find out when they should leave to pick up their loved ones and the others A view from Thomas Buus' “Family Affair.” photos by Dennis Pearce

aboard the vessels. It was the classic case of incessant expectation followed by perpetual disappointment. The wind continued to drop and the ebb began to flow and nobody wanted to talk ETA’s anymore. Then what was that? A puff? Hey let’s get that drifter down and Katie-Bar-The-Door that might just be enough to get us home. The OHYC boats were kind enough to stand aside and let Wild Rumpus take home the big booty while the venerable Vertigo was second and the Buus family aboard Family Affair out of Everett was third.

Single-handing the J/88 on Narragansett Bay, RI

J/88...Hits the Sweet Spot Northern Century Regatta August 19-21 Prepare yourselves for 100 (or 50) miles of epic racing in and around the San Juan Islands! The N100 has historically been a race for double handers, but there is an option for fully crewed and a shorter double handed version of 50 miles. For the adventurous sort doing the full 100, the course is very open to creativity with the only required marks being the Pt. Roberts and Hein Bank buoys. How you decide to get there is up to you, just be sure to round both on the port side. Finish line is back in the Guemes Channel in front of Washington Park. Check: www.anacortesyachtclub.org

J/88 is a big boat in a small boat package - everything you need to max out your sailing fun - high performance, easy handling, large sit-in cockpit, pushbutton propulsion, onboard head, overnighting interior, but without the upkeep and time needed to manage a bigger boat. J/88 is a breeze to single-hand with main and jib, and when you have a crowd, the comfy cockpit sits 6+. Tired of boat yard bills? The J/88 has a deck-stepped mast, a single lift-point, and can be trailered home behind an SUV. Owning a J/88 is like having an all-access pass to sailing – ready to sail when you are. www.sailnorthwest.com 206-286-1004.

Smith Island Race

he first installment of Seattle Yacht Club’s Tri-Island Series, Smith Island Race, was held under sunny skies on April 30th. With a light northerly and a flood tide, many boats found it difficult to get over the start line before the next classes started. As the fleets started to spread out, the boats who managed to get hard right towards the eastern shore found a nice breeze coming from Carkeek Park. Boats started to get into a groove along the shoreline while the breeze faded and filled a few times before finally settling in at 10 knots of northeasterly around Point Wells. The boats to the east found an advantage here as they had better pressure and were able to rhumbline Point No Point. Let’s rewind a bit here. I am a sailor born near these great waters that we call home. For the last year, I have been preparing to do the Race To Alaska (R2AK) with my teammates Randy and Ian, on Team MAD Dog, a Marstron 32. We have been using local races to test ourselves and equipment for the journey. We chose the Smith Island race as one of our “warm-ups.” We are a team of sailors who enjoy pushing ourselves to the extreme by sailing a high performance 32' open catamaran to Ketchikan. Imagine your beach cat growing up, but with a 54’ tall mast and no accommodation. None. Now back to the race from our perspective. As the breeze was filling in at around 8-10 knots we were managing 54

a steady 10-11 knots of boat speed upwind. We were finally able to stretch our legs and get away from the TP 52’s and the R/P 55. We were hauling the mail and were not looking back. Just after our first tack under Point No Point we heard a loud bang! Looking around and inspecting our rigging we noticed that the head of our mainsail had a big crease in it. We immediately recognized that the bottom webbing cut outs in the headboard had zippered and all that was holding the sail up were the aft webbings. At that point we made the decision to stop the boat and bring the sail down. Once on deck we affected a repair by lashing 3mm spectra through the webbing to parts of of the unbroken headboard. While this sounds easy, it took us an hour Team MAD Dog. Photo by El Barto.

to make the fix and to get back to sailing. Meanwhile most of the fleet caught up and passed us. It was time for us to put the pedal down and start picking off boats. As we neared Double Bluff the breeze built to a sustained 15 knots with gusts to 18 knots. Most boats were in their #3 and were fully powered up. Sailing through the fleet, we were able to get a close look at the battles between boats from Class 2. Absolutely and Constellation led the beat while the pressure was up. As we got to Point Wilson the breeze was dying and boats were starting to cluster up again. The straits didn’t have much to offer for wind, but the boats who sailed high and got furthest west, like Dark Star, were able to set their code zeros and accelerate toward Minor Island. As boats rounded Smith Island for the run home, kites were popped but the breeze was light and there wasn’t much action until we entered back into Puget Sound. Around Port Townsend we were able to reel in Neptune’s Car. Finally we could see Class 1 racers and while the chances were slim, the thought of line honors crossed our minds. Sailing downwind with our code zero in ten knots of breeze doing 18 knots of boat speed we were eating up miles. As we gybed down the Sound, the white specks of spinnakers grew bigger. Sailing lower and faster than the three boats ahead, we were able to pass both of the 52’s at Point No Point. Crossfire had already made their gybe east from Kingston towards Point Wells. On our final approach from Point Wells towards the finish, we locked into some freshening breeze and we were doing a steady 20kts of boat speed. As we were nearing the finish, we heard the shotgun. Our luck had ran out. Crossfire received well deserved line honors, while we finished first in Class 0. Even though it was a slow start, most long course boats finished by midnight. Thanks to SYC for hosting another great Smith Island Race. Now it’s off to more race preparation for this year ’s installment of the R2AK. by Colin Dunphy For results: www.seattleyachtclub.org

aturday, May 14, Seattle Yacht Club hosted the second race of the Tri-Island Series, the Vashon race. Forty-six boats showed up on the line with eight IRC sleds leading the charge. Two more big boat divisions raced the long course, down to and around Vashon Island. The rest of the sport boats, little boats, and cruiser racers sailed the short course, almost to Point Robinson, and then straight back up the Sound. The forecast had some highs and lows as we approached the weekend. Sunshine would be great, but the wind had better show up if we don’t want to spend the night in Tacoma. We woke up Saturday morning to breeze! The southerly showed up ahead of schedule. When we untied at the Elliott Bay Marina on JoyRide, we had 8-12 knots of breeze and a chill in the air. Foulies and boots were the uniform of the day. While the breeze was promising, we made a pact that everyone was okay calling it off before spending the night at sea with Teddy the sailor dog, and our limited supply of sandwiches and snacks. The breeze backed off to the 4-6 knot range for the start, but with tide in our favor everyone got away and most boats took a direct route to Blakely Rock. Big boats started first and continued from faster fleets to slower ones after that. As a result, there wasn’t a lot of race traffic, fortunately because on the first and only day of the shrimping season there were maybe a billion shrimp pots and boats on the course, especially at critical corners like Blakely Rock. It was no small feat to stay untangled. On JoyRide, we hugged the Vashon side of the course and enjoyed every Forrest Gump joke that Bron Miller could dish out. The wind shut off at Point Robinson and the rain came down in earnest. Skilled and energetic sailors on Terremoto and Madrona tested most of the light reaching sails in their inventory. We enjoyed watching and guessing which sail was about to go up next, while continuing on with our drifter. The IRC boats made it through the transition before it shut down and took the Tacoma shore, including Jim Marta’s Eye Candy. After a good hour of drifting, a

Division 2 leaders duked it out gybing up Colvos and the wind continued to build until we finished back at Shilshole with a crew selfie and Arnie Hammer ’s happy dance. We made it back to the dock an hour ahead of schedule, enjoying the skyline in the fading light. Lots of laughs, just enough breeze to keep it a real race, shrimping obstacle course, and just another great day on the water. Vashon was a joy ride indeed! In the IRC Division, it was a day for the littler of the big boats, with Eye Candy, New Haven and the R2AKers of Ocelot on top. In Division 2, Charlie Kerry Billingham and Teddy, sailing on John Murkowski's J/122E, “Joyride.”

Macaulay’s Absolutely sneaked away with the big boats for a decisive win. Terremoto and JoyRide enjoyed a close battle all day and finished in that order. In Division 3, it was all about the J/120’s, With Grace corrected just seconds ahead of the fun people aboard Hinzite. Admiral Vaughan sailed Bravo Zulu to third place, beating the other Beneteaus back to the bay. Short course boats had a harder time finishing the race. In Division 4, Different Drummer completed the course hours before the next finishers, David Jones’ Helios and Allen Johnson’s Quest 30, Charlotte. In the J/105 fleet, Jim Geros finished first in his Last Tango, followed by Inconceivable! (try to say that without an accent!) and CYC Commodore Dierks’ Delirium. In the Super 30 Division, the Greiser ’s Fabulous 3/4 Tonner Hagar “flew the horns” to victory, with Madame Pele close behind and Kiwi Express leading the next pack, who finished many hours later. There were two divisions of Cruiser Racers, with Jim Medley’s Bavaria 38, Puffin, winning the first fleet and Ryan Helling on top in the next cruising division with the welltraveled Velella. One more Tri-Island race is left to go. See you all on the line June 4th for the Blake Island race.

Corinthian Yacht Club Portland

Oregon Offshore

Todd Kurtz driving “Time Bandit,” which took 1st in Class A. With the headlines coming out of Oregon lately, I was certain that the regatta shirts for sale at the annual Oregon Offshore Race would be available in either blaze orange or camo. The road to Astoria is long and winding, but hey they pump your gas for you down there so we just told the kids we were VIPs. Forty years ago, some intrepid sailors in Oregon got together and figured as long as they were headed for Swiftsure they might as well make a race out of it. Over the years highlights have included one boat losing the rig thanks to a breaching whale, a boat ironically named L'Orca. The course is always the same which makes one wonder why the race is called Oregon Offshore rather than Washington Offshore. Simply leave the red nun #2 at the entrance to the mighty Columbia river to starboard and then Duntze Rock light at the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca to starboard and slip across the finish at the mouth of Victoria’s inner harbor. The Corinthian Yacht Club of Portland knows how to host a yacht race and now boats from throughout Washington and western Canada are quick to round up their finest crews to do battle on this portion of the Eastern Pacific. This year was the 40th anniversary of this epic battle. Historic Astoria serves as the host city for most of the crews although some boats stage out of Ilwaco as well. It requires the largest amount of bandwidth in modern history to figure out how to get the crews and all their fixins to 56

Astoria to meet the delivery crews arriving with the yachts, then shuttle cars to Seattle, Portland and beyond. If you're sailing a trailer sailer in this event, add another dimension of launching the vessel and hauling the trailer home as well. Most boats arrive at some point on Tuesday. On Wednesday coolers are filled, safety inspections are completed, paperwork is filed and, of course, the obligatory fieldtrip to the Columbia River Maritime Museum. I must say that after a visit to that depository of epic videos of the Columbia River Bar crossing, the last thing a mariner wants to do is have a 4am wake up call for a 7am start just outside the bar, the river bar, to be clear. Yes, you heard that right the start is at 0700, well not every year, but it was this year. Typically the start is set to coincide with the slack water on the bar. One would wonder if the RC has considered the economic impact on the local watering holes by setting a start time so early, but suffice to say I was happy to be headed to Canada with enough money left in my wallet that the exchange rate wasn’t even a concern anymore. The fleet was as varied as the weather forecasts The smallest was a SC-27, the largest a Wylie 70. That hardly tells the whole story. There were three Cascade 36s ranging in rating from 138 to 177, a gorgeous Baba 30, a Transpac 52 and of course the venerable Night Runner featuring an octogenarian skipper. Doug Fryer plied these same waters in Adventuress on her first journey to the Northwest. June 2016

www.48North.com

The Typical AWBs (average white boats) filled out the fleet along with some custom sleds and a couple of those pesky J-boats. The whales were minding their manners and the river gods were with us as the start was clean and unbelievably all the boats showed up on time, some without much time to spare. The big genoas were sheeted home at the beat north began. Port tack sent you to the coast, starboard towards Yokohama. Rage stayed out to cover Kinetic and Kinetic stayed out to keep Rage in check. Nearly the entire fleet figured Rage with her new owner was destined to have the same success as her old owner and barely noticed some other wily veterans break for the inside route. Gorgeous sunshine drenched the fleet as the tracking devices kept pinging and nervous navigators tried to make sense of it all. The wind held through the night and many a crewperson was introduced to the joy of sleeping on the rail rather than in a bunk and dreamed that maybe Saturday would feature lighter breezes where a few winks below decks would not find the wrath of the pushy owner chasing them out to the rail again. By Friday night, yachts were slipping down the Straits. Variable to 10 the VHF reported. Well that’s weird because we blew a chicken kite all to pieces in a 35 knot puff. The usual antics and hijinks as boats squeezed through Race Passage, this is happy news for sailmakers. For added entertainment, read the blog from the finish line crew as anxious navigators struggled to the finish line in a dying breeze. The inner harbor is never as vibrant as when the Swiftsure fleet is in town, but still gorgeous nonetheless. Royal Victoria Yacht Club hosted a classic awards picnic and after the usual pictures, hugs and cheers the massive perpetual trophies were boxed up and crews scattered to the four winds to find their way home. by Andy Schwenk results: www.oregonoffshore.org photo by Brian Lawrence Congrats!

swiftsure yachts The logbook for June 2016 Ruby Kiss

2014 Shannon Custom HPS 60

Motorsailer

Commissioned by a cruising couple with over 200,000 combined blue water miles, the Shannon HPS pilothouse motorsailer Ruby Kiss combines all the best attributes of their prior boats – power and sail. Ruby Kiss would be at home at anchor at a remote atoll or cruising the Inside Passage or navigating the infamous Northwest Passage. From the salon and lower helm station, the view is 270 degrees. For maneuverability and power underway, she is a twin screw vessel. For economy, she can run on one engine, giving her a 3,000mile range. Fuel and water tankage is large (640 gallons diesel, 240 gallons freshwater). Her roller furling ketch rig is easy to handle. Under either power or under sail, Ruby Kiss is set up. Ruby Kiss was laid up at the Shannon yard but finished and customized by a group of professional contractors. The end result is stunning. She has qualities that set her apart.
