The Value of Chartering The Annapolis Book of Seamanship defines chartering simply: Charter: To rent a boat. Though chartering can mean day rentals, skippered boats, fully-crewed luxury yachts, or an Argosy tour, the term is most frequently used in sailing circles to describe a bareboat charter, typically for multiple days. If you haven’t had this experience, I strongly recommend it. First of all, I think it’s good (and often challenging) to get to know a boat you’re unfamiliar with. Even the best-laid charter boat schematic will usually miss something and have you upside down to check where the sink drains, or tearing things apart to find the AC breaker, or seriously, where’s the damn winch handle? This process is an incredibly valuable reminder that there are roughly a thrillion ways to set up a boat. Not all of them are smart, but an astounding number actually work. And there’s a strong chance you’ll find some worthwhile take-aways to bring home to your own boat. Chartering almost always means new waters. Sailors have an inherent sense of adventure, but even adventurous types sometimes have to make an effort to sail somewhere new. Unknown waters require preparation even before you can answer the questions, “Where should I go, and what should I do when I get there?” The charter destination choice is, to me, one of the most empowering things in sailing. You can charter so many places! Tonga? Yup. Patagonia? Check. Cape Verde? You bet. Sri Lanka? Yes. BVI? Of course (page 42). If you can dream it, you can probably charter there. While the exotic will alway have an understandable appeal, I know many sailors who have been deeply satisfied chartering in new places that are closer to home. Our Charter Guide for Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska (page 36) is a good resource and the variety of options is a good indicator of just how much sailors, the world over, salivate at the thought of cruising our waters! Whether you’re headed to the San Juans for the first time, exploring Lasqueti Island (page 44), or chartering near Inside Passage gems like Desolation Sound or the Broughtons, you can’t go wrong with a “local” charter, one that allows you to have a true sailing adventure with much less time commitment than bringing your own boat (if you have one) from Seattle or Portland. You must develop or utilize skills to plan a charter. Somewhere between the answers to, “Where should we go?” and “What should we do there?” are many sailorly considerations. More often than not, those answers actually respond to another question: “how should we get there.” There’s a lot of navigation and piloting that happens in planning a sailing trip, so don’t miss the Gifford’s article this month for some tips (page 50). What a fun challenge to think analytically about your realistic range in an unfamiliar boat, what to expect from currents or weather, and what hazards exist that might affect your ability to get from one anchorage to another. Too often, you just don’t have to do this in your home waters. This stuff makes you a better sailor! To top it off, you have the tangible and intangible benefits of allowing your body and mind to succumb to boat life. For those of us that don’t live aboard or cruise constantly, that adjustment is remarkable. This month, Becca Guillote writes about the six months it takes to slow down to “cruising speed” (page 26). While I acknowledge the truth in this, I also know that by day three of a charter trip, you’re in a vastly different place than you were on day two. In my experience, you’ll be better rested after sleeping more soundly. You won’t think as much... about anything. About RPMs or where to step, or your responsibilities at work. You won’t even think as much about where you stowed the sail ties (right in the companionway where you left them), or whether your telltales are flying (of course they are). Chartering makes these experiences accessible! So, whether your destination is near or far, tropical or rugged, a social scene or pristinely empty, have a great time. And, please tell us about it when you return! I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North 6

Response to Becca Guillote’s Article from December 48°N “The Absurdity of Boat Projects” • • •
From St. George Pinckney: “Well written. I’m sorry that your efforts were far from unique!” From Foster Fanning: “Glad to know I am not alone in the wilderness of boat projects and bruises...” From Wolff-Rüdiger Neumann: “Thanks Becca. This is a very comforting article for all of us out there doing the same thing! “ 48° North Sold It! To the Crew at 48° North,
I placed a classified ad in 48° North in January of this year for a custom teak table I had for sale. Previously, I had listed it on two very popular internet sites. The response was little or nothing with regional and international coverage. I had responses in January from the 48°N ad and the first person that looked at it bought it. I was still taking calls on it in February and early March, long after the table had been sold. An interesting note, it sold to a powerboat owner that was “thumbing through” the magazine. He is now the proud owner of a very nice custom teak table. I will use 48° North again to sell my collection of preowned marine stuff. Thank you very much! Jack Spriggs Anacortes, WA Thank YOU, Jack! We know there are a lot of options out there these days, but we love to hear that 48° North classifieds are still a reliable and rewarding way to sell your boat or your gear! It’s a shameless plug, but we just did a badly needed overhaul of our online classified submission system. If you or any other readers found our old system complicated, we think (we hope!) you’ll find it a lot easier now: classified.48north.com 8

Letters Copper Bottom Paint Phase Out Concerns
All the Power You Need
Dear Joe and 48° North Readers, The copper bottom paint phase out for recreational boats is quickly approaching and it’s come to my attention that it may actually happen! Many of us have thought it would be put on hold due to the fact that there are no viable alternatives to the current smooth hard paints used on the bottom of many of the boats out there. I’ve learned that our local marine industry organizations are in full support of the phase out, as it helps the boatyards reach the low copper numbers needed to pass their inspections – the same marine organizations whose mission statements include “promote recreational boating.” Yes, there are good alternatives to the various soft paints on the market – at least they work. I don’t believe there are long term studies showing the side effects of the various biocides and other metals used in them – but ignoring that, there are options if you use soft paint. For hard paints, the boatyards are telling me there is no alternative except going to a foreign country. You guessed it - going up to Canada to get your bottom paint put on, the same thing that happened when that Micron paint was banned oh so many years ago. Does that help the business of the local boatyards? I’d think not – but I’d expect the boatyards in British Columbia to be hiring next year! Keep in mind that we will be going up to a province that freely dumps their raw sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Apparently that is totally cool with the environmentalists, but a little copper leaching out of a hard bottom paint – that’s a big issue! Another thing I’m learning is that the ban is on privately owned recreational boaters. I’m guessing that means if your boat is owned by a company or LLC, you can continue to put that hard bottom paint on your boat – how does the boatyard regulate that? I’m also hearing that the original study that spawned this legislation was done in two marinas. Now, it’s been a long time since my statistics classes in college, but I distinctly remember learning that if you want to create numbers that will say what you want them to say, go out and get them from the smallest possible cross section you can find, ideally in a location supporting your ideas. Rumor has it that the samples were taken from the Cap Sante and Skyline marinas – great marinas, don’t get me wrong - but two that notoriously get little-to-no water flush during tidal changes, and two smaller marinas that possibly have a larger percentage of boats with soft bottom paint than some other marinas in the Pacific Northwest. Ultimately, I’m very surprised to hear that our marine trade organizations are in support of this ban. That, if the rumors I’m hearing are true, the studies numbers came from such a small and therefore obviously biased study. That there is no viable alternative to the smooth hard paints currently www.48North.com

Copper Bottom Paint Phase out Concerns, continued... used on not only the performance sailboats, but also on the various commercially owned charter and lesson boats that get diver cleaned and inspected on almost a weekly basis. I’m also surprised to learn that the comparatively small recreational boating community is having this change forced upon them, considering the storm water runoff from our streets and the assumption it includes various toxins from vehicles owned by the state, city, federal government, commercial and private entities – what is being done there? Ultimately, I realize I personally have little to no say in what happens other than being surprised and cynical about it. What should we do? Invest in boatyards in Canada; create more drysail yards in Seattle? Thanks for listening, Ben Braden Moore 24, More Uff Da Broker, Sail Northwest Ben, thank you for writing and sharing your concerns with me and the 48° North audience. I appreciate your perspective, and think many of your concerns are valid. I expect that some of your thoughts are shared by other readers. Typcially, when we get a letter like yours, where there is a question or concern directed at another entity (in this case our local marine trade organizations), I like to give that entity a chance to respond. I reached out to the President of the Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA), George Harris, to invite a response. He decided that the person who ought to write the response is former NMTA Board Member and current Chair of the Clean Boating Foundation, Jim Brown. His response is below. Dear Editor,
BREMERTON MARINA BOAT SHOW: MAY 18-20 WWW.TRAWLERFEST.COM

BOAT SHOW. EDUCATION. RENDEZVOUS. April 2017
I had the unique opportunity to serve on the NMTA Board of Trustees during the passage of the legislation to phase-out copper bottom paint (SB 5436). I no longer serve of the NMTA Board, but I have remained involved in this industry and currently serve as the board chair for the Clean Boating Foundation. Ben’s letter could not have come at a better time. Since Washington state is the first state to tackle the issue of copper paint’s impact on the marine enviroment with a piece of legislation, there are going to be questions. This is an emerging and important issue. I can tell you that copper has been in the crosshairs of the Department of Ecology for 20 years. The Department of Ecology has used at least eighteen studies to determine copper is harmful to the marine environment. You may find this list, and links to those studies, at the Clean Boating Foundation website (www.cleanboatingfoundation.org). Because the Department of Ecology believes the science that copper is bad, they have written progessively tougher www.48North.com
Letters Boatyard Permits that continue to ratchet down on the amount of copper that can come off a boatyard’s property. It’s a miniscule amount: 50 parts per billion. The thinking was that boatyards could continue to struggle to meet these benchmarks at the end of pipe, or the industry could look at the true source of this pollution (in the paint can). NMTA’s Board, with consensus from member boatyards, chose to get at the pollution “in the can.” Like most legislation, this bill was not perfect. I do know that NMTA is continuing to seek input from their members and the boating public about ways in which the legislation could be improved. The Clean Boating Foundation has been doing outreach since the inception of this legislation at yacht clubs, key boating events, and public service announcements in local publications. I appreciate the chance to set the record straight on the science the Department of Ecology uses (they do not use a study in Anacortes for their “copper is bad” perspective) and to give more context as to how NMTA came to this decision. I’ve been impressed by NMTA’s openness to all ideas and would encourage members to stay engaged on this important issue.

Thank you for your time and response, Jim. I do think it is helpful to understand why this legislation exists, to perhaps give some context to why there might be support for the copper paint phase out from stakeholders who might seem like the most likely opponents. In the interest of transparency, I want to acknowledge that I presently sit on the NMTA board. But, in this case, I am happy to let these two perspectives have the opportunity for 48°N readers’ consideration, without my editorial opinion thrown in the mix.

Seattle Yacht Club 2017 Opening Day May 6 Seattle Yacht Club announces Emerald City “Aahs” as the theme for the 2017 Opening Day. This theme honors the iconic symbols of the greater Seattle area, as well as perhaps, encouraging the appearance of familiar characters from the famed movie that inspired the theme. Under the leadership of Admiral Bruce Campbell, Admiralette Sandy Bell, and Vice Admiral Randy Holbrook, the 97th annual boating event encourages participants to celebrate the time-honored festivities held in the Montlake Cut. According to Campbell, "This theme was chosen to encourage more boaters to decorate their vessels honoring the beloved symbols of the Puget Sound area - and flying monkeys would be a kick too!" The Northwest tradition of rowing competitions from local, regional, collegiate, and international teams begins the day. Opening Day concludes with a spectacular water parade of boats demonstrating precision in uniformity, traditional boating attire, navigation skills and inventive decor. The parade also includes an impressive diversity of vessels - from powerboats to sailboats, yachts to dinghies, wooden to fiberglass, and amphicars to seaplanes.

In 1973, the Wilcox family sets off to sail around the world aboard the 40-foot sailboat, Vela. Thirteen months later, they are shipwrecked on a coral reef, with surf tearing a huge hole in the side of their boat. After years invested in saving money, preparing the boat, and learning to navigate by the stars, parents Chuck and Dawn refuse to give up. Fourteen-year-old Garth is determined to continue, while eleven-year-old Linda never wanted to go in the first
place. Can they overcome the emotional, physical, and financial challenges to transform from castaways into circumnavigators? To triumph, these pioneers must rebuild their boat on a remote Pacific island. Damage sustained on the reef and a lack of resources haunt them the rest of the way around the world as they face daunting obstacles, including wild weather, pirates, gun
boats, mines, thieves, pesky bureaucrats, and cockroaches as stubborn as this family. Without a working engine and no way to communicate with the outside world, they struggle to reach home before their broken rig comes crashing down and they run out of food, on a trial that tests them to their limits. Sea Trials: Around the World with Duct Tape and Bailing Wire, by Wendy Hinman, $20.00.
As unique and refreshing as the drinks themselves, The Boat Drinks Book is an inside look at cocktail culture in harbors around the world. The book is split into five regions: Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic, Pacific, and Caribbean. Author Fiona Sims is on a mission to encourage us to explore waterfront regions through local food and drink, getting to the heart of each harbor by seeking out specialist merchants,
hanging out in legendary bars, and uncovering distilleries, breweries, and wineries all within a short taxi ride of your boat. Sims also provides insights into how to make the most of traditional markets for provisioning and spreading your cocktail table. The Boat Drinks Book shares tips on cocktail creation as well. Sims' drink recipes will inspire you to whip up something delicious - using local
liqueurs, wines, spirits, and produce to sip on deck at the end of a long day’s cruising or exploring. There's even a scattering of recipes for ultimate boat nibbles, inspired by each region, from easy tapenade to tapas. So whether you’re a seasoned sailor or an armchair aperitif enthusiast, grab a copy of The Boat Drinks Book and let expert food and wine writer Fiona Sims quench your thirst. Your mission: to discover and enjoy. The Boat Drinks Book: A different tipple in every port by Fiona Sims, $20.00.

About 90 percent of all marine species disappeared during the biggest mass extinction in Earth’s history during the Permian-Triassic period about 245 million years ago. Among extinct marine animals during this extinction were eurypterids, sea scorpions six feet in length. The opposite of extinction is speciation, which means the development of new species out of old. Sharky, an electric eel at the Living Planet Aquarium in Utah, lights a small Christmas tree with its electric current. Dragonfish are the only known fish capable of producing red light. Squid, angelfish, and sunfish change colors when excited or frightened. The nautilus, related to cuttlefish, octopus, and squid, is the only cephalopod with an exterior shell.
Maritime Trivia by
B ryan H enry
Lowtide Hagfish digest food through their skin. Many cave-living fish lack eyes.
A full-grown blue whale is more than twice the weight of the largest dinosaurs. The blue whale’s heart is as big as a compact car. The brain of an adult sperm whale weighs approximately 20 pounds. Humans, by comparison, have 3-pound brains. The Bryde’s whale was named after Johan Bryde, a Norwegian who formed a whaling operation in South Africa, the South African Whaling Company, in the early 1900s. The horseshoe crab has a bloodclotting agent that’s used to detect potentially fatal bacteria in drugs, vaccines, and medical devices.
Sea otters can eat as many as 50 sea urchins a day. Some sea spiders are the size of dinner plates. Depending on the species, it takes nine to 20 years for a sturgeon to mature and develop the roe for caviar. Caviar can be green, red, yellow, black or gray, depending on the fish variety it derives. Red caviar, for instance, is the salted eggs of salmon. There are more microscopic animals in the oceans than there are stars in the universe. The S.E.A. Aquarium in Singapore is the world’s largest and houses 800 species and 100,000 animals.
With a Bristol Channel Cutter
Bristol Channel Cutter was designed by the late Lyle Hess. The vessel is attractive to blue water sailors because of her seaworthiness and outstanding performance. Cape George Marine Works builds the Bristol Channel Cutter and the Falmouth Cutter, along with their other range of vessels. In January 2011, Cape George rolled out their first completed hull using the original Sam L. Morse BCC mold.

Lowtide What could be simpler than the installation of a drinking water faucet with above-counter filter changes and the full protection offered by activated carbon filtration?

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
I’ve watched marbled murrelets for decades, learned their recognizable upturned heads as they slipped past the boat. I also remember the “big mystery” over 40 years ago: no one knew where the murrelet nested. Sure, there were birds seen in the ocean from California to Alaska and throughout the Salish Sea, but no nests were ever found even after a reward was offered. Then in 1974, a tree trimmer stumbled on a downy chick high in an old-growth Douglas-fir. Loggers had seen them, called them ‘fog larks’, but loggers and ornithologists somehow never got together to talk about all this. It turned out the murrelet liked, no required, old-growth forests. They need giant trees with big branches and mossy limbs. So, this footballshaped, 10” seabird soon became center stage in a giant battle between the tree-cutting corporations and environmentalists who realized the bird was doomed if all the big legacy trees were cut. In 1992, the murrelet was Federally listed under the Endangered Species Act as a threatened species.
While most of the old trees are now either protected or gone forever, it appears the bird’s numbers are still declining. This may be because murrelets usually produce only one chick every other year. Parents trade nest-sitting duties and adults take turns flying to and from the ocean with a single fish - mostly at dusk and dawn. Youngsters molt into juvenile feathers before leaving the nest, and when the time is right, they simply step off the nest and learn to fly on the way down. If successful, they make their way, unaided, to the ocean. Now, if there was ever a single moment where a species needed a reality check, I think it might be right here. Let’s say you are a little bird the size of a robin that’s never been anywhere. You’re sitting in a tree several hundred feet off the ground. You’re in Mount Rainier National Park and you can’t even SEE the ocean - and yet one day you jump off the nest into thin air. Just saying!

It Takes Six Months By Becca Guillote
Before we left Seattle, those that had cruised before all agreed it would take us six months before we truly slowed down. Of course, if we asked the same 12 people what type of oil to put in our engine, we would get 15 different answers. But they all agreed on the timeline. Six months before we would stop rushing around, trying to plan out the day, getting anxious about tomorrow. For the first six months, they said, it would feel like a “trip,” something temporary, something novel. And then, one day, at six months, we will wake up on a Tuesday morning in Mexico and realize we have not a single commitment all day, nobody to answer to, and no reason to put on shoes. And then we’ll get it. Well, they were wrong. It took five months, two weeks and four days. We left Mazatlan on a windy evening for the 87-mile passage to Isla Isabel, following our good friends on Agape out of the harbor. Isla Isabel is a must-see stop we had heard about since leaving Seattle. It is an island plopped 26
down in the Sea of Cortez that has been deemed the “Galapagos of Mexico,” complete with rugged landscapes, blue-footed boobies, and nesting frigates. The birds have no immediate history relating humans to panic and destruction, so for the most part they ignore the occasional human intruders. This allows for fantastic viewing and photo opportunities, especially of the boobies flaunting their bright blue feet. The island came into view as the sun rose after a lumpy and sleepless overnight passage. It was a very welcome sight. The wind blew hard most of the night, and the seas were uneven. We sailed fast under our jib alone, but the irregular seas jolted our stern and prevented anything close to restful naps. Shortly after daybreak, we maneuvered into the small, unprotected anchorage and settled into the best spot we could, based primarily on our intuition. The charts of this region are generally useless, the books warn of many rocks lurking just beneath the surface, and the swell April 2017

wraps around both corners to ensure all boats share the discomfort of perpetual movement evenly. Satisfied with our choice, despite the almost certainty our anchor did not set properly on the rocky boulder-strewn bottom, and still wearing the clothes we put on the previous morning, we launched the dinghy and set off. Our first stop was Mango, a boat we knew from Shilshole Bay Marina but had not seen since Seattle. We motored over to say “hello” and ended up lounged in their cockpit chatting for an undefined amount of time (I had no time-telling device with me). From there we headed over to Agape and promptly settled into their cockpit for a further undefined amount of time, though it could certainly be measured in multiples of hours, as at some point we incorporated snacks and beer. Time has taken on a new shape recently. It is not dictated by watches and alarms, months and dates. It has evolved away from any numbers-based system at all. Instead, it is driven by the approximate distance from sun to
horizon, the height of the tide against the rocks and –most often- the signals of hunger sent from belly to brain. If we are invited to an event “on Sunday,” there is no easy way to arrange this information in our timeline. We would need to first find a timepiece to determine today’s name and then count forward to Sunday. Instead, with cruisers, we use measurements like “at sunset” or “after coffee” or “later.” As we lounged in Agape’s cockpit, we talked about plans and all the things we wanted to see on Isla Isabel, but none of us made a move to execute these plans. We were content to sit, to chat, to stare off at the sea, to do nothing for the majority of the day. It did not feel like laziness, and we felt no guilt. It felt appropriate, it felt like what a day should encompass after an overnight passage. It felt like cruising. Eventually, as the sun hung low in the sky, announcing the impending darkness, we roused long enough to dinghy ashore and wander up a short trail for a peek at the birds and a beautiful sunset view. Thousands of frigates dotted the sky above us, searching for their evening meal.
Lizards, perfectly camouflaged to the ground around them, scurried away moments before inadvertent contact with the bottom of our shoes. Blueand brown-footed boobies hunkered on nests cradling eggs, and tiny beaked fluffs of white, alert but not intimidated by our presence. In the distance, humpback whales splashed and breached, glad, I presume, to complete The blue-footed booby, surprisingly unfazed by humans. their annual 5,000-mile Photo courtesy of John Guillote. migration from Alaska.

he Jeanneau 349 is currently the smallest offering in the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey line, and the second smallest boat of all their current models. Indeed, when we walked down the docks past several other Jeanneaus that were nearly twice as big, the 349 certainly did appear to be a compact and tidy package with attractive, modern lines. Intrigued, I continued my walk around. I noted not only the hard chines, but the generously beamy stern. In stark contrast to the width of the stern, I was struck by how narrow the entry seemed. The bow is not fully plumb (vertical), which was a minor disappointment to me, but it’s very close. From this bowon vantage, it looks like an incredibly narrow boat. Fine entry, wide stern – these things usually mean speed and appealed to my affinity for modern performance-influenced design. It’s clear to me that chief among the design priorities for the 349 was better performance than most of its competitors, without sacrificing interior space. These design differences are very slight, as differences tend to be small in the crowded category of sub-35’ production performance cruisers. From my experience sailing the boat and reflecting on some of its measurables, I believe designer, Marc Lombard, and the Jeanneau team were successful in this effort. Based on my research, this is the lightest boat in the category, with a higher ballast-to-displacement ratio
volume aft. The 349 is not quite as beamy as others, but it carries its ample 11’3” beam further aft than many cruising boats. That appearance is somewhat deceiving, though, as it is narrower at the waterline than the transom would indicate, flaring rapidly to the chine. Make no mistake – this is not a race boat. The 349 is a comfortable cruising boat. But to me, all of this displays the doit-all desire in the design – to increase performance characteristics while still providing exceptional est interior space. When we set sail, these feelings were reinforced. It was a chilly day on Lake Union when we took the 349 out for a sail. The consistent breeze wasn’t much above five knots, with gusts near eight. As we left the marina, we began to take stock of what was on deck and what was aloft. The standard 349 comes with an aluminum mast with two swept spreaders and no backstay. The boat we sailed had the standard triangular dacron mainsail, and was rigged with the optional adjustable backstay. There is a more powerful square top main built of mylar/taffeta that is available as an upgrade – this extra sail area means there could not be a backstay. As we got settled and rigged, I appreciated the spacious cockpit with twin helms that matched dual rudders below. Moving around the deck was effortless and everything seemed in its place. As far as the sail plan, I was personally pleased to see that the 349 did not have a track for a selftacking headsail. This matches the design priorities, appealing to a more performance-minded cruiser who would like to trim with greater accuracy. In fact, a traditionally trimmed jib is only the beginning. Rather than tracks with cars to adjust the jib sheet lead, the 349 employs modern floating lead technology, with near-infinite adjustability. On the boat we sailed, the floating lead ring doubled as a fairlead for the mainsheet system. I thought this was a cool idea, because the tighter

than most. It also has one of the longest waterlines (as a ratio of hull length), even though many other production boats are utilizing similar design techniques, like near-plumb bows and hard chines, which can lengthen waterline. Looking at the drawings, the under-the-waterline shape of the hull has slightly less rocker (a flatter profile from bow to stern) than most of its competitors, and this reflects more devotion to performance. This underbody design influences other design elements that are intended to maintain interior volume and headroom: the 349 has “reverse shear” which creates a gentle convex curve (from stem to stern) to the shape of the deck; I found the boat to have fairly high freeboard; and the hard chine design is multifaceted, both providing more stability but also increasing interior
Depending on your vantage point, the 349 looks either very narrow or very beamy. 28

the mainsheet is trimmed, the further inboard the lead is skewed, helping you get closer to matching sheeting angles. However, there’s a flipside to that too, and this was one of the few things I didn’t think was easy and intuitive about the boat. Tightening the jib lead position pulls the lead down and outboard, and this tension has an effect on the trim of the main (making it tighter). I understand that Jeanneau has since changed the set-up to dual rings, so you may adjust one without the other, which also allows jib lead adjustments to be made without easing the mainsheet. Nonetheless, all of that adjustability is truly cool on a boat like this – very narrow sheeting angles are possible, and if you get greedy, you could definitely choke the slot. The mainsheet system is forward of the companionway, and utilizes a bridle system without a traveler. In a sense, this seems in conflict with the far-more-adjustable jib rigging. The 349’s bridle is unique, though, in that the spectra triangle is fixed, allowing the boom to be trimmed to centerline. But in our light conditions, it wasn’t quite possible to have the boom-high mode that would have been ideal without closing the leech, but it was close. As soon as you get windspeed in the high single digits and above, I think you can achieve excellent mainsail trim. Without a traveler, vang sheeting is likely to be key in windy conditions. Overall, the cockpit layout is very short-handed sailing friendly. Main and jib sheets are rigged with clutches and a winch at each helm station. The mainsheet coming back to trim at helm winches is commonly called the “German Mainsheet System.” Once the sails are up, the cockpit can be essentially clear of any control lines and could easily accommodate four nonsailor guests without a captain or crew crawling all over them to sail the boat. There are a number of cool elements on deck, like: teak-look-alike toe rails that will never need varnish, attractive flush hatches, a huge hinged transom swim step that’s easy to raise and lower by hand, and outboard chainplates. With those outboard chainplates, however, you are forced to go inside of the shrouds if you wish to go forward, and the lowers come in at an angle that requires a bit of balance and flexibility
to navigate. It’s not boat yoga, but it’s not dead easy, either. I’d describe the boat’s performance as very solid, considering the light wind. Like many hard-chined boats, the boat felt like it found its ideal angle of heel on that chine easily and moved along nicely in the 5-7 knots of breeze. While the waterline is narrower than the beamy stern, I still appreciated heel angle in the light breeze “A” is the fixed spectra mainsheet bridle that allows for to help reduce any extra centerline sheeting, and “B” is the floating jib lead ring. wetted surface drag. We were generally making speeds above The 349 is offered in a three-cabin 3.5 knots, pushing above 4 knots in the model, which I can only imagine is puffs.

Boat Work Amid Carnaval
The Joys of Stopping When You Want to Go By Michele and Jon Rogalin Henderson One of the keys to being a successful voyager is flexibility. One of the many benefits of voyaging is experiencing different cultures. These collided perfectly in Mazatlan, in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. We hadn’t ever really planned to visit here, but through a cascade of events, family visits, missed weather windows, and a whole lot
of the aforementioned flexibility, we ended up deciding to do our engine rebuild here. We had made some friends here, and a thriving port meant easy access to tools and parts. Plus, this project was a major one on the endless Ardea to-do list. Well, as some of you know, and others are sure to find out, these sorts of projects have a way of

spinning out into a myriad of other projects and everything takes longer than one could possibly anticipate. This kept us in town for Carnaval, and the opportunity to enjoy an amazing cultural experience. Mazatlan boasts the world’s second largest Carnaval, after Rio de Janeiro. By the end of January, our motor project was still ongoing, and colorful statues had appeared along the malecon (the waterfront) and around Old Mazatlan. Excitement started to build. We asked our Mazatlan friends, including our mechanic friend, Victor, who was helping with the engine rebuild, what events we must attend and nearly everyone said the same things: Combate Naval, Quema del Mal Humor, and Desfile Carnaval. Combate Naval is a grand fireworks show, reenacting the battle of 1864 between the French and the Mexicans, wherein the French Navy sailed in to attack Mazatlan. Fireworks were set on land and on the sea, exploding back and forth, as in combat, celebrating the successful defense of the Olas Altas (tall waves) beach. We escaped the massive crowds by hiking up El Faro (the lighthouse hill) to watch. It was spectacular, and a bit of distance gave a nice perspective for watching the reenactment. There were many boats out on the water viewing the fireworks. It reminded us a little of Lake Union on the 4th of July! Quema del Mal Humor, or ‘burning bad feelings’ is a popular way for the people of Mazatlan to let off a bit of steam about someone or something that is bothering them. This is often a political figure. This year they burned “El Muro”, which means The Wall. There was a lot of cheering and chanting as the the burning commenced. Interestingly, the symbolic structure was attached to a tow truck and driven along the street to where it was to be burned. There were no barriers set up, people just moved out of the way as the truck passed by. A circle of jesters held hands to keep people back about 12 feet. This would upset many a fire marshall in the US! I was on my knees at the feet of one of the jesters, taking photos. At some point I felt her brushing at my hair, likely to extinguish a spark, but I got some great photos!
Desfile de Carnaval, the parade, is the main highlight of the Carnaval celebration. This parade is unparalleled (though, admittedly we’ve not been to Rio). The floats were incredibly intricate, towering 50 feet or more, and elaborately painted or lit up. We were amazed by the dancers as well. Not only were they beautifully costumed, but they danced energetically and enthusiastically for over six miles; some on stilts and stilettos! We watched the parade from the Olas Altas Inn, which offered a special, including an amazing buffet of typical Sinaloan foods with a great view. We were seated on a balcony, at one of six tables full of Mazatlecos (people from Mazatlan). One of the women was bi-lingual and narrated the parade for us. She was lovely, and we were well pleased to have her share some of the history of the Carnaval parade. We were the only “Americanos” on the entire balcony, but we felt quite welcome and included. During the days, we sourced the final bits and parts for the engine rebuild. (We also learned a lot of new Spanish words for tools and engine
parts!) One of our favorite quotes from Victor, when queried about whether or not it was possible to find a certain piece or bolt or some such, was, “This is Mexico, anything is possible.” And it’s true! Even in the midst of a city-wide week of partying, we could still go into a tornilleria (a bolt store) and get what we needed. If it wasn’t on the shelf, they would disappear into their machine shop for a few minutes and come out with a perfect replica. We had several parts made this way, all for far less than the cost in the States. Throughout the Carnaval celebration, there were crownings of kings and queens,
Carnaval parties start early and are family friendly, but continue late into the night. The parade with incredible lighted floats was a clear highlight.

and hats or crowns. Oops! With our fresh cultural awareness, we toned it down after that. We were stopped and asked to pose with people for photos, however, so there is that. There was a lot of dancing in the streets, most nights until the wee hours. We, of course, were home and in bed at a reasonable hour, given our ‘day job.’ One afternoon, mid Carnaval, while I was out sourcing another boat part, I heard some drumming and witnessed the Catholic Parade. This seemed an atonement It wasn’t their intention, but the “Ardea” crew parade, lest “los borachos” kind of won the costume contest.

partying begins. Pacifico beer is made here in Mazatlan, and mountains of cases dwindled as the week wore on. One night we ended up dancing with a couple of abuelas (grandmothers) that were swilling them like water. They were super fun! Dancing near them were some college-aged kids, and a young family with a toddler on their shoulders. We were pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the inclusive family vibe. There was no crime or violence to speak of, and everyone was happy and friendly. Somewhere in the midst of this, we wrapped up the engine rebuild. More cause to celebrate! It’s kind of amazing how opportunities spring from being flexible about the voyaging plan. We were so pleased to be able to celebrate Carnaval with the fine people of Mazatlan, while working alongside them to check a major project off the list.

ooking forward to the boating season, there are many projects to consider that might enhance your sailing enjoyment in the warmer weather. Anchoring out is one of cruising’s great pleasures. Retrieving the anchor and rode by hand can be back-breaking. An electric windlass can make light of the task. Fifty years ago, an electric windlass was almost a form of heresy. They were seen as the kind of electrical tool that not only could, but definitely would break when most needed. Additionally, there were concerns about where the electrical power was going to come from. Today’s windlasses are very reliable, and electrical installations overall function better with the help of advancements like tinned wire,

someone up the mast now can be done with the help of a powerful electric motor so long as you can lead the line to the windlass fairly (Figure 1). There are many considerations when installing a new windlass. They include: what kind of windlass will be most efficient, where and how best to mount it, and how to set the windlass up to get the maximum use from it?

First, here are some of the technical terms we will be using when discussing windlasses. The ‘fall’ is the minimum distance the rode or chain needs to fall in order not to jam the windlass (Figure 2). The anchor ‘rode’ is the term typically used to refer to the line attached to the anchor chain, sometimes referred to as ‘chain and rode.’ But, rode can have slightly varied meanings, including both chain and line together. The ‘warping drum’ is the part of the windlass that is designed to handle line (Figure 1). ‘Warping’ is a method of moving the boat by hauling on a line that is attached to a fixed point such as a cleat or anchor.

superior charging systems, and better batteries, just to name a few. We often remember the “good old days,” but the windlass is a case for, “Look how far we have come!” It would be remiss not to mention the safety that the windlass brings to boating. When you need to get the hook up quickly, it is tough to beat the tireless windlass. Picking up the anchor to reset, and getting your boat the right distance from others in a crowded anchorage, can both be done almost effortlessly. A windlass can also be used for things other than raising anchor: warping into the dock or lifting www.48North.com

Figure 3: ‘A’ Under deck mounted electric ‘B’ Switch control box. ‘C’ Backing plate. What kind of windlass best fits your boat will be based on how much weight you are trying to lift, the layout of your boat, and how you wish to use it. The size is based on the total weight of the anchor and rode on the boat. This is known as the ‘working load.’ The working load must be less than a 1/4 of the max load of the windlass. So, a 1000 lb windlass is only sufficient if the total weight of the anchor and rode is 250 lbs or less. The term windlass technically only refers to a horizontal winch, a vertical one is actually a capstan. Horizontal windlasses have the advantage of being self-contained units that can efficiently bring in the anchor rode over a 90º turnaround the wildcat and requires a minimum fall of only 12 inches. If you are using the warping drum, they are easy to use from a standing position (Figure 1). The disadvantages of a horizontal windlass are that it must be closely aligned to the bow roller to feed properly, and they tend to take up more deck space. A vertical windlass, or capstan, will normally have the motor mounted below the deck (Figure 3), which should free up deck space, as well as lowering its center of gravity and making it 34

By taking the winch (See our article from the April chain to a roller on a horizontal windlass you can get a more secure 180º turn around the wildcat, but then you need at least a 16 inch fall, just like a capstan. You also want to keep the distance between the bow roller and the wildcat as short as practical, since the tendency for the chain to oscillate, or swing up and down, in this space is increased as it gets longer.

2011 issue of 48º North, “Mounting Winches”). Whenever possible, use a plate under the deck to back up the bolts securing the windlass (Figure 3), but if that is absolutely not possible, use instead large, thick fender washers. The electrical part of the installation includes using the appropriate size wire from the battery to the windlass as well as the appropriately-sized breaker to protect the windlass and wire. Remember, when measuring the distance for calculating the wire gauge, it is the whole length from the battery to the windlass and back to the battery. The switch box that controls the direction of the windlass should be mounted close to it, but in a place where it will not get wet or suffer from moisture (Figure 3). The last pieces of this are the switches that you use to get the windlass to do what you want it to. These can be foot switches mounted where you can conveniently look over the side to see where the rode is tending (Figure 1), or a handheld unit that allows you more freedom of movement, but the latter is more vulnerable to getting banged around and must be stowed or plugged in/unplugged. There is another choice that is not so common on sailboats, but should at least be given consideration: a switch back near the helm. While normally not ideal, because you can’t see where the rode is tending, it might be handy if you are short-handed in that moment. There are a few add-ons that are important. At a minimum, you’ll need a cover for the entry hole for the rode. This will reduce the amount of water down below, especially if you are pushing into seas and have green water over the bow (Figure 1). The next is a wash down system to keep the mud and seaweed back where it came from, (we wrote about this in the November 2013 issue of 48º North in our article, “Installing an Anchor Wash Down System.”) This becomes critical on boats that store their rode inside the living space versus in a sealed anchor locker because of smell and mess. Another handy piece of equipment is a chain pawl. (See 48º North June 2014 “Installing a Chain Pawl: A Windlass Alternative”) When the pawl is engaged, it allows the chain to move only toward the windlass. With this
you can take the chain off the wildcat, or if you are just beginning the chainpart-of-your-rode, you can release the tension on the line and move the chain to the wildcat. Now you can start planning your windlass installation. 1. Make sure it is powerful enough for your ground tackle. 2. Figure out where will be the optimal placement and which type will work best in the available space and set up. 3. Plan the fall and how to secure the windlass to the deck. 4. Locate the best placement for the
switches and the control box. 5. Layout the wire runs to minimize length and the breaker protection location based on access for service. You may want to install a dedicated battery for the windlass to shorten the wire run. Once it is all laid out, proceed with getting your new windlass in place and functional so that you can use it in all your sailing adventures.

BVI:
it’s pretty much the same game. If you’re looking to have fun times with lots of fun people, the best spots are spread out to the far corners. Painkillers at the Soggy Dollar and quirky cool Foxy’s are close to each other on Jost Van Dyke, and definitely live up to their iconic party fame. We arrived there on a Friday, but I’m not sure it really matters. The Bitter End Yacht Club is at the farthest east end of Virgin Gorda and the BVIs. It has all kinds of dinghies to rent and things to do, plus a harbor full of revelers, and a fun bar at Saba Rock at the same end of the harbor in which you can take your dinghy or catch their little ferry (think Victoria Inner Harbor ferries and not WSF). We also had a fabulous time at Marina Cay (it’s pronounced “key,” They just haven’t bastardized the spelling like the Florida Key), and is on the east end of Tortola, in the relative middle of the islands. Speaking of bastardized names, Marina Cay is home to crowd-favorite Pusser’s Rum. Who is Pusser, you may wonder? It’s the “purser” of the ship, who delivers your daily ration of rum in the British Navy, and when spoken in the local Jamaican accent, the first “r” faded away to Pusser. Willy T’s floating bar on Norman Island in the south end is also a popular spot, and I hear that if you’re up for party tricks like jumping off the top deck, you will be rewarded.
Of course, those are just the big ones. No matter where you are, you can find a place to drink a Caribe beer and socialize, or you can find a quiet cove to anchor by yourself. Mooring balls are your friends in the BVIs, and every boat needs a “Designated Hooker” to spot the balls and turn the tricks on the foredeck. It’s trickier than it looks!

asqueti (lass-kee-tee) Island is readily found on any chart of the Strait of Georgia, looming large in the middle of your otherwise straightarrow cruise to Desolation Sound. A cursory inspection of the topography indicates you should just keep going, with limited natural harbors available. But I’d encourage you to pull in. Besides, how can you resist the following FAQ section, from the official Lasqueti website: Is there free land in Lasqueti? No. Is everyone welcome to Lasqueti? Only nice people. I am just wondering if you have camping available? No. I was wondering if anyone is allowed to move to Lasqueti Island? We were wondering if there is some way to stop 'em. I heard about this place on the radio. Do you have an area for vacationers? What is the weather like? What is there to do? No. It rains constantly. Umbrella repair.

Off the power grid, off the official ferry system, and hopefully not your stated destination to Canadian Customs, stopping on Lasqueti might yield entertaining locals, free drugs, or a harsh welcome. At the very least, you might have something interesting happen. Not that Canada isn’t interesting. Would be very unCanadian to even insinuate that. Unchill. Un-nice. No, no. But, if you were expecting a foreign cruise that offered more than the word “washroom” and a faint English nostalgia, Lasqueti is worth a stop. If you’re in a small-ish boat, an improbable nook is available at the south end of the island. Tiny Squitty Bay seems totally exposed, but features a tight dogleg entrance that shelters it from the weather. The shredded trees clinging to the rocky entrance seem to indicate otherwise, but make it inside and you’ll find a city dock clinging to the cliff. The entrance topography is too small to show on most charts— mostly the move is to keep it down the middle. If you have handy mast steps, you can send someone up there. They’ll April 2017

be able to do an excellent Captain Jack Sparrow impression at the dock if you blow it. Otherwise, sit on the boom and steer with your feet or something. On our first trip to Lasqueti, every mile we sailed north was new to us. Feeling a little fresh and alone, we were excited to spot another Americanflagged vessel coming into Squitty. Ah yes, the mighty Spruce Goose, captained by friend-of-a-friend Ian, and bound for Sitka, AK. It was a small-ocean moment, and soon we were chucking a Frisbee around and wandering off to visit a farm that some of the Goose crew had been to before. Shockingly, the one car we saw was the “harbormaster” of Squitty Bay, which does, she reminded us, have an overnight use fee. The farm was a brief window into rural life, which included a wild solar array, a pretty cabin, domesticated animals of every stripe, and home-built mountain bike trails. Lasqueti is extremely close to the giant power grid that reaches Powell River, but the island has deliberately elected to stay disconnected. Thus, almost every house has a large
solar installation. Other mainland institutions, like law enforcement, are also mostly missing. This isolation doesn’t necessarily result in paradise— the farmer we visited had just been forced to put down her own dog after it became aggressive - not exactly the rural DIY dream. Still, we would’ve happily continued to explore the island for a while. We only ducked out of Squitty to find free parking for the night because we were cheap. If you’re nice, and don’t wander up to any greenhouses you shouldn’t, Lasqueti is plenty welcoming. In fact, this seems to be the case with many remote places in Canada. Show up in a modest boat, act friendly, and the locals will respect your desire to explore. After pulling back out into the Strait of Georgia, we headed north again for the provincial park of Jedidiah Island, which is just alongside Lasqueti. It has a top-notch anchorage on its north end, although watch out for a wind vs. current combo in Little Bull Passage, which can seem like a nasty and cramped spot in any real weather. We gybed our way along on the rising breeze, sailing right up to weatherbeaten and dark cliffs on either side. We saw the Spruce Goose douse their spinnaker and disappear around an unknown corner ahead of us. Ian had been here before, and we followed blindly past a large anchored motoryacht and into our own little nook. Enclosed on three sides by cliffs, perfectly still, and with convenient stern ties, we watched the Goose grab a ring in the rock and settle in before rafting up. As dusk fell, we hiked across the island and took an eerie tour of the abandoned homestead there. It didn’t feel all that ghostly for any particular reason—it just seemed like an odd and lonely place to try and carve out a life. Some post-voyage research revealed that maybe we had a reason to feel the creeps. In 2006, a human foot was found on Jedidiah Island, the first in a series of 20 detached feet to be found in the Salish Sea over the next six years. Although a few were discovered to be hamburger-in-shoe hoaxes, five feet from four different people have been confirmed as known suicide deaths in the Vancouver area. The rest are
mysteries. I’ve never looked at a sneaker on the beach the same after that Wikipedia experience. Regardless of footsteps in the night, we lit a small driftwood fire and enjoyed some mussels plucked from the mud by headlamp.

It’s also probably a great way to catch from the Spruce Goose as we veered a debilitating disease, but we survived towards Lund and they headed for our journey into the local food chain Seymour Narrows.

The very logic of AquaDrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating
on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement.

Five things a Monohull Sailor Should Know about Multihulls By Ray McCormack
You can hardly think about chartering in 2017 without acknowledging that you may be sailing a big cruising catamaran. Even though the Pacific Northwest has been slower to adopt the trend, at many of the world’s charter operations, there are now more multilhulls than monohulls. Most sailors, and certainly most charter companies, will tell you that anyone who can sail a monohull can sail a catamaran. The purpose of this article is not to debate that, but to acknowledge some of the differences that someone who has sailed primarily or exclusively on monohulls may want to keep in mind when setting out on a multihull, whether it’s a big cruising cat, a zippy beach cat, or one of the Farrier designs. With the right boat and conditions, new levels of comfort and fun are possible on multihulls. 1. SPEED, Usually Multihulls are known for their speed. They can be faster mainly because they weigh less by not carrying a keel. But many multihulls also posses the ability to fly a hull for less wetted resistance. This, of course, is not common in most cruising cats. In what might seem slightly contradictory, most cats and tris are not very good in light winds, really anything below about 10 knots. In my experience, they are just sticky in the water and don’t perform as well as you might think. The speed potential brings with it some considerations about apparent wind. You may hear people talk about some performance multihulls that “never sail downwind.” This is meant to convey that you may go so fast that your apparent wind requires sails trimmed as if you’re reaching, or even beating. On an upwind course, apparent wind affect can tend to push the bow down away from the wind. The auxiliary benefit is that the speed of the vessel makes up for lost ground toward a windward destination. Of course downwind it’s a no-brainer, with the speed and apparent wind pushing your bow down even closer to your destination. 46

2. Maneuvers Simply put, basic sailing maneuvers are different on multihulls. They are lighter and take longer to turn, so they don’t carry momentum very well. Tacking can be a real challenge. If the multihull is going fast enough, it can make the head-to-wind transition to the new tack. Don’t be afraid to backwind the jib to help get the bow around. In lighter conditions in a cruising context, I’ve known some cat sailors to momentarily turn on an engine to get the boat through the tack. It’s very easy to get into irons during a failed tack. If this should happen, one just needs to backwind the jib, ease main totally off, keep the helm centered and allow the boat to rotate backwards to gain a bit of steerage. Then you can turn the helm in the direction that allows the back winded jib to tack and fill. Suddenly the boat will start moving forward and you can then sheet the main back in. Jibes tend to be easier, but one needs to be sure to sheet the main in before performing the jibe. It’s also good to center the traveler. Then ease everything after the jibe.
www.48North.com
3. Loads Rigging and sail handling on multihulls is similar to monohulls but also has its point of difference. Multihulls do not heel over the way a monohull would, and heeling in response to a puff is actually altering the angle of attack, spilling a lot of the wind in the sails. Consequently, the loads in the rigging of a multihull are much bigger than a similar sized monohull would experience. There is a saying in the multihull arena that “at the first moment you think of reefing, you probably should.” Many monohull sailors adhere to a similar philosophy, but it is a die-hard rule in multihulls. Though cruising catamarans generally have an excellent reputation for stability, this principle illustrates potential consequences of the loads. Chafe can also become an issue, and the use of super strong high-tech lines is very important on a mutilhull. The early move to reduce sail is doubly important on certain points of sail. Be very careful sailing a multihull on a broad reach or a run with full main. It is on these points of sail that a light multihull is most susceptible to a potential capsize. Most cruising multihulls have to see some very severe conditions for this to happen. Many multihulls make use of the cross beam for sheeting. The main sheet travels almost all the way across the boat. This is why you will sometimes see no vang on the main. What it does mean is you can’t ease the boom that far out. It’s usually a moot point, because they sail faster carrying their apparent wind farther forward. You generally don’t sail dead downwind in a multihull, if running, though, using a preventer on the main is a good idea. Sail plans on multihulls are built upon the concept of flatter sails, as they usually don’t need extra power, and the increased drag aloft is load with no purpose. If you do find yourself in heavy weather, it’s good to keep in mind that heaving-to does not really work in a light multihull. The boats end up sailing backwards. A drogue off the bow or stern is usually the answer for a multihull.

Motion The motion of a multihull in any kind of sea state is odd. In monohulls, we are accustomed to how the vessel works her way through swell and chop. Most multihulls make their way through this same sea state with jarring, awkward, unpredictable movement. Many describe it as more of a pitching motion. The light weight, wide platform, and speed of multihulls contributes to this type of motion. Those who sail multihulls swear that you can get used to it, and I would agree with them, after delivering a light catamaran from Hawaii to Shilshole.
Bridles can help reduce swinging at anchor in a blow. 5. Docking and Mooring One of the biggest differences you will find between monohulls and multihulls will be with docking and mooring. The same lack of mass and momentum that makes them hard to tack can be felt in docking. Additionally, they have much more windage. As a bigger platform, they need more room to maneuver and don’t tend to respond as quickly as monohulls when backing down or turning. However, most cruising catamarans have two power sources, one in each hull. Use these in opposition (one in forward, the other in reverse) to negotiate tight quarters. I’d encourage you to scope out the marina before entering. Venture in at a low speed, just enough to maintain steerage. Visibility can also be a huge challenge, so it’s a good idea to have extra folks up on deck with fenders during docking, ideally on each corner, ready to communicate with the driver and fend off. At anchor, you’ll find that when the wind picks up, a multihull will swing more in the breeze than a monohull. Bridles can help mitigate this, dispersing pressure to wider points on the boat.

Galley Essentials with Amanda Whew. Our flight finally landed in Gothenburg, Sweden after a whirlwind day of packing to return to Mahina Tiare. As we transited the airport it seemed in a festive mood and on exiting the main doorway, we passed through tall willowy branches decorated with bunches of colored feathers - all of which I thought rather bizarre. As the scenery turned to countryside, I noticed that some households had decorated a small bare garden tree with feathers. When I saw a tree with colored feathers and eggs, it clicked that this must be an Easter tradition. With my focus on travel I’d forgotten all about Easter. We’d chosen to leave Mahina Tiara in a boatyard on the island of Orust just north of Gothenburg, it’s the third largest island in Sweden and it is renowned for its quality boatbuilding. Orust is part of the northern Gothenburg archipelago and there’s over 8,000 islands and islets of smooth, pretty, sparkly pink granite, that create a very natural and interesting, although rugged coastline known as Bohuslan. In summer, it’s a favorite sailing destination for Swedes. Commercial herring fishing was the major industry and there’s many adorable fishing villages scattered along the coast that welcome boaters. Our favorites are Gullholmen, Fiskebackskil and Grundsund. Before leaving Mahina Tiara in the boatyard, we’d enjoyed sailing to a few of the abundant tranquil sculptural rocky harbors, using mooring wedges in the granite to anchor med style. The boatyard was deserted when we arrived; Easter is a 4-day holiday in Sweden. We’d shopped for fresh provisions, that included kale for quinoa salad, and were more than happy to work on boat projects until the yard returned to normal. But as everything was rather quiet John suggested a Sunday Easter celebration at the nearby seaside 48

Swedish Easter Surprise
by Amanda Swan Neal Hafsten Resort. I was surprised that their restaurant was also gaily decorated with feathered branches, but that it was deserted. When I asked the waitress why, she said that the Swedes celebrate Easter with a big family lunch on Saturday and that Sunday is a quiet day. As to the decorations, they’re called Paskris. She explained that it originates in the 17th century when, on Lent, the master of the house would whip the household with birch branches to commemorate the suffering of Christ. The flogging died several centuries ago and the now the branches are decorated. Thankfully the restaurant was open and I enjoyed a tasty slice of quiche while John dined on fish.

Mussels with White Wine & Tomatoes avenues before arriving at Stora Saluhallen, the city’s largest indoor food hall established in the late 1800’s. Under Saluhallen’s high vaulted ceiling, top end specialty stalls, were displays of wonderful produce behind polished glass cabinets and we couldn’t resist fresh bread, crackers and stinky cheese. After a short walk along the canal, we arrived at Feskekorka, another old architectural gem that resembles a Gothic church. This market specializes in seafood and we chose mussels for our evening meal. To wind up our city tour, we had afternoon tea in Haga, a charming old neighborhood across the canal with beautiful wooden houses, small café’s and quaint boutiques. Mussels with White Wine and Tomatoes ½ cup unsalted butter 1 onion - diced 7 cloves of garlic - minced 4 vine-ripened tomatoes - chopped 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 lbs mussels - washed and debearded 1 cup tomato juice 1 cup of good white wine ¼ cup fresh lemon juice ¼ cup fresh parsley - chopped Melt butter in a large, deep and wide pan.

Turn heat to high, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until all the muscles are open. Transfer mussels to bowls, pour sauce ingredients from pan onto plated mussels. Sprinkle with parsley. Discard any muscles that don’t open. Serves 6. A hike in the large forested park of Delsjon was on our agenda the next morning before returning to Mahina Tiare. We shared the lakeside trails with runners, horseback riders and walkers on our trek to and from Bertilssons Stuga; a cozy cabin with friendly staff that serve great goodies, like open faced sandwiches on rye bread, heartwarming soups and decadent chocolate treats.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
Piloting:
Heads Up and Alert Within the last decade, technology eradicated one of the most pervasive, pernicious, provoking statements of the human condition: “I think we’re lost.” These four words sullied countless road trips and cast many a sailor onto mortality reef. We may still find ourselves off track now and then, but with GPS, there is no wishy washy, “I think…” about it. And you’re not actually lost if you know your location. You’re just temporarily misplaced. Yet navigation remains one of the biggest concerns posed by so many new and want-to-be cruisers. They always chuckle when I ask if they’ve heard of, or tried this wondrous new thing called GPS. Of course they’ve used GPS navigation on land. Sing out a destination into a smart phone and a dispassionate voice will guide you through 46 steps to arrive at Aunt Betty’s in time for Christmas dinner. So really, if you have a real-time GPS position on the water, how hard can it be? The real concern is not using a GPS to reach Aunt Betty’s for Christmas; it’s getting there without incident. Finding the path is easy, avoiding obstacles may not be; and knowing your position may not help you navigate around reefs, ships, and islands with swirling currents, let alone doing so at night.
On a boat, this is called piloting. Chapman’s Piloting Seamanship & Small Boat Handling defines piloting as, “navigation using visual references, the depth of water, etc.” Boats, buoys, islands, shoals, coral heads, and floating logs are all visual references. Unintentional impact with visual references is best avoided. Sometimes that’s not always possible. Southward from Norfolk, Virginia, a prudent passage past Cape Hatteras and Cape Fear is founded on fine weather. This chilly December, the weather conflicted with prudence. So, we considered the alternative: Intracoastal Waterway, known as ICW and “the ditch.” There was a minor piloting problem: fixed bridges have 64’ of vertical clearance. Totem’s tippy top is 67.4’ above water. Offshore weather remained nasty, so we got to work. Removing the masthead VHF antenna, lights, and wind transducer was easy enough. Our air draft shrank to 64.32’. Water and diesel weight totaling 750 pounds on the side deck, plus 500 pounds on the boom swung outward heeled us enough to clear. But a charted bridge clearance of 64’ may be less than 64’. Water levels fluctuate, and in the northern ICW, they fluctuate based on wind force instead

of tide. Complicating matters, height gauges posted at most bridges can be inaccurate. To take the guesswork out of difficult go or no-go clearance decisions, we duct taped a length of PVC pipe to the masthead. Dubbed the pig stick, it extended three feet forward of the masthead. This visual reference reduced the chance of impact damage, and was safer than sending a crew member aloft. The pig stick did, ever so lightly, touch one bridge at dead slow speed. We backed out and waited for tidal drop. Passing through roughly 50 bridges in 425 miles was tedious but we made it safely to historic Charleston, SC. Charleston was our exit point from the ICW back on to the Atlantic Ocean. Weather finally eased. Piloting challenges did not. Fifteen hours of moderate-to-thick fog blanketed part of the trip to Jacksonville, Florida. In thick fog, if you can see a visual reference it’s probably too close. Heads up and alert with eyes and ears open is still first priority for safe piloting in fog. Heads down tools: GPS/chartplotter, AIS, and radar are invaluable aids to keeping safe distances from other objects. Fog requires different strategies: listen and be heard (horn or bell), see and be seen (AIS and radar). Sometimes the best choice is to get out of the way and stop moving, which is no longer piloting, so we won’t go into detail there. Chartplotter, AIS, and radar are incredibly useful, though imperfect, tools. Just as the charted bridge height didn’t always match the actual height, charts can be wrong; an AIS transponder can be absent, switched off, or faulty; and radar can have incorrect settings that fail to show targets. Outside of digital aids, is there more to looking (and listening!) for the prudent pilot? Looking is looking. Seeing is everything. Skirting along the edge of an island in Thailand a few years ago, we comfortably navigated an area where we had a clear route using reliable charts. Then, an odd ripple in the water ahead. It was a subtle disturbance on a calm day. Maybe it was current, but lacked the linear definition between faster and slower moving water. We
altered course. Passing by, a large rock was clearly visible below the surface. You want to see as well as possible and know when visibility is impaired: • In bright sun, polarized glasses aid visibility by increasing color contrast and reducing reflected glare, making it easier to see below the surface of the water. • Low sun angle and moving towards sunlight can impair vision considerably. This is most evident in clear tropical water with coral heads. Overhead light makes coral easy to see if the water has some clarity. Any other sunlight angles mask visibility. • Eyes can take ten minutes to adjust in no/low ambient light (or red light). Looking at a computer screen and then scanning the horizon without adjusted eyes can lead to missed visual references, like running lights. • Interpreting visual cues is the true art of piloting. Buoys, beacons, and lights convey specific information. A good reference book (such as Nigel Calder’s How To Read A
Nautical Chart) and practice makes these signs relatively easy to read. Kayaks, jet skis, and container ships have vastly different speeds, maneuvering abilities, and driver skill levels. Know the rules of the road and never assume the other person is going to do the right thing to avoid collision. If altering course to avoid, make intention abundantly clear, and even hail them on the VHF if there is concern. Avoiding collision is more right than being in a collision that was not your fault. Some visual cues to think about, though not intended as a complete list: • Watch water flow at every fixed object passed to gage current velocity and direction. Then, consider how that set may affect the intended course. • Changes in water surface has meaning. A line with smoother water on one side and rippled on the other could be a current line, shoaling, upwelling current (from abrupt depth change), etc. Be observant and learn the causes. • Motion relative to other objects is
not always as expected. Pointing on a course to safely pass an object may not be enough if there is current set. • Use a natural range, when possible, to gauge your vessel’s movement relative to an object. To do this, sight a line through the object (object A) to a fixed point (object B). Object B can be past object A, or before it. As your vessel moves alignment with objects A and B will change. Reading the change is an exceptional piloting tool, and takes practice. • A hand bearing compass is another tool to gauge relative movement. Sight through the compass to the object. If the bearing remains constant and the range (distance) is closing, you’re on a collision course. Electronics provide valuable navigation and piloting information. Still, heads up observation and interpreting signs are the best piloting skills. Getting lost may not be possible, but there plenty of objects to steer clear of on the way to Aunt Bettie’s for Christmas.

Corinthian Yacht Club
Blakely Rock Race orinthian Yacht Club of Seattle’s C Blakely Rock Race kicks off the Center Sound Series and the Seattle
area keelboat racing season. Gail Gislason, of Kowloon, described it as the Debutante Ball. All the pretty new boats made their debut, others showed off a new name or paint job or set of flashy new sails. I don’t care who you are or what boat you’re on, if you like boats, it is fun to get out and see what’s new for the season. The forecast was for a day of sunshine, with a moderate breeze dropping to nothing, and a huge ebb tide. They don’t always get it right, but they nailed that forecast on Saturday. Taking the #4 and the chicken kite off the boat was a good idea. Taking off the beer was ill-
advised, at best. Thank goodness for good friends drifting in your direction in the afternoon with good taste and pretty good aim. Before the start, we had true wind speeds in the 12-16 knot range and even had some time for a practice hoist. The ebb had started, and the money was on hitting the
Shilshole breakwater after the start and favoring the shore up to West Point. After that, you had to pick a lane to cross and work hard to keep it open. It seemed best to take the most direct route to the other shore, and keep as close to the shore as you dared. Wind speeds dropped during the beat, from about 12 knots when we actually started, to around 8 by the Bainbridge shore, plus or minus depending on your position and timing. Trimmers and drivers had to work hard to squeeze every tenth of a knot of boat speed and every inch of lift along a crowded shore in a dying breeze. It was time to swap out head sails to the light #1 if you had one. By the time we arrived at the rock, there was just a light breeze,

and you had to stay close to avoid current that was at max ebb. Many sailors honored Kelly O’Neil’s memory this year, especially Alex Wetmore and Kerry Billingham who bought her former Express 37 Re-Quest last fall. It was bittersweet to see all of the flowers surrounding the rock this year! Someone always has to hit it, especially the underwater rock on the north side. Sorry, big blue pretty boat, it was your turn this year. After Blakely Rock, we had the OTHER race of the day. For most of the afternoon, there was more tide than wind, which made sail selection and angles tricky. Heat it up to the polars and drift sideways down the course, or point right at the mark and let the wind seeker hang. Both ideas were only marginally effective. The biggest game changer was whether to stick with the Bainbridge side or cross over to Elliott Bay. The strongest ebb was in the center of the Sound, but you usually get hung out to dry if you stay in the middle too long. On Bravo Zulu, we stayed toward the Bainbridge side and nervously watched the Farr 30, Bat Out Of Hell, cross to the east side. Long story short, Elliott Bay paid in spades. Sailing into first place overall, Hamachi’s, Max Thayer, reported on the method behind their madness. Their decision was partially out of (cheerful!) spite, part calculated risk, and partly due to predicted weather pattern that didn’t exactly pan out, but still worked well enough. Hamachi reports that they had a good upwind leg, and kept stretching out their lead and liking their position on the beat. However, as they approached Blakely Rock their fleet condensed and some boats got around them. “It’s no fun to follow boats that you were once ahead of.” Most of the fleet stayed on the west side after rounding, so Hamachi threw in a gybe and headed out for the stronger ebb. Absolutely and Terremoto were already out there, and it made sense to go out rather than follow boats that they wanted to beat. Plus, there were some ripples on the water over in Elliott Bay! And wasn’t there some easterly in that forecast? They decided to go for it and followed a
In Class 4; “Puff”, “Moose Unknown” (first in class), “Mor Jubilee”(1st in class), and “Inconceivable!” trail of puffs that kept them moving to the other shore. Once you’re half way, you are committed to the crossing. The wind died in the middle and there was always a slight breeze driving them forward. The easterly never materialized, but with a personal 4 knot westerly and a knot more current (we all discovered later), the east side boats crushed it! Absolutely, Hamachi, and Wicked Wahine laid down a horizon job to the north mark that left everyone in the rear view mirror.
About half of the PHRF boats made it to the short course finish in an eventual light northerly breeze. Mostly the bigger your boat, the better your odds of finishing. ORC boats raced the full course, led by Crossfire and Smoke. It was a great day to be on the water, either way! It didn’t snow, and it was nice enough for a post-race dock party with even a little light left in the day. The starts were reverse order, as were the divisions and results. However, it was a big boat day and I

will report the winners in that order. In the ORC division, top spots went to Crossfire, Smoke and New Haven. The next four divisions were largely made up of boats in the 40 foot range, from more planing hulls in the faster classes to more displacement in the later classes, with the exception of a sporty, little, blue hulled 26 footer
that hangs out with bigger buddies on the podium. On top of Division 8 and owning the overall for the race were Hamachi, Absolutely and Wicked Wahine. Division 7 was won by two Hood River owners and crew, Bat Out Of Hell and Andy Mack’s Grace, followed by Bainbridge boat, Ace. In Division 6, the top three spots went

to Elusive, the South Sound sailors on EQUUS, and Finale. Division 5 was more like mixed nuts than straight 40’s and winning spots went to Dos, Different Drummer, and the beautiful newly-renamed Quest 30, Charlotte. Division 4 was the sole onedesign fleet, with nine J-105s on the line. The results shook up the normal order, with some new names on the podium. Top spots went to Moose Unknown, Jaded, and Mor Jubilee (minus an “e”). In Division 3, first place went to Bodacious, and Kowloon pulled a close finish over the “black boat” Here and Now, to finish the trophies for the race. Division 2 were the little guys, and sadly nobody in the fleet had the horsepower to finish the race. Well done, Corinthian Yacht Club! It’s great to be back. by Stephanie Schwenk photos by Jan Anderson results on page 58

Deadline For Race to Alaska Registration April 15 The Race to Alaska (R2AK), the engineless race for rowers, paddlers, and sailors, has announced a registration deadline of April 15. S t a r t i n g i n P o r t To w n s e n d , Washington, on June 8, and finishing in Ketchikan, Alaska, the 750 mile race through the Inside Passage challenges entrants with squalls, killer whales, and tidal currents that run upwards of 20 miles per hour. Based on the hardest kind of simplicity, R2AK is entirely selfsupported, with no supply drops, and offers nothing in the way of a safety-net. Any boat without an
engine can enter and there are no classes or handicaps. First prize is $10,000. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Payouts, this is how it works: You finish. The greatest glory of all is going to be your first night in Ketchikan, telling stories not making them. Value is uncertain but damn high.

he Scatchet Head Race is the T peanut butter of the Center Sound Series sandwich. Three consecutive
recent years of epic runs to the south end of Whidbey Island, and another big breeze forecast was building for this year ’s edition. The race has found a secure reputation as the gear buster between two weekends of iffy convergence zone racing. This year we got extra entertainment as the aircraft carrier USS Independence was scheduled to be towed through the race course on her way to final retirement, cutting a one mile swath out of the center of the Sound in the middle of the day. If you were at the club on Friday night, you know what I mean when I say “if in doubt, go astern!” Calling tactics for retired Navy Admiral Denny Vaughan on Bravo Zulu, I requested that he give orders for the vessel to stand down if we got too close. Just kidding! We didn’t pull rank and enjoyed the spectacle like everyone else. The weather guessers were calling for a building southwesterly breeze, with more pressure on the west shore and a solid flood tide for most of the race. However, in the starting area there was only a modest southeasterly, which shifted more due south as you got away from the shore. The little boats lead the starting sequence and ran with the southeasterly to the east shore, in a reasonable 10 knot breeze. It was just lively enough for entertainment value when boats reached close to each other on the starting line, for example Peter Stewart’s Cherokee and

In Class 3; “Gaucho,” “Bodacious,” “Taj Mahal,” “Kowloon,” “Here & Now,” and “Jolly Green” just off the start. Alexia Fischer ’s Zipper had a good battle in the first start! In a bit of head scratching confusion, there was a postponement after Division 4. The Race Committee started Division 6 before 5 and several skippers missed the memo and were late to the party. Joyride, with Bron Miller at the wheel, pulled off the most unconventional, but somehow successful start of the day with some wild roundups starting at the pin and luffing sails down the line for over two minutes and they still started clean and first in Division 7! Bless his heart, it worked! The bigger the boats, the more they tested the middle, likely in hopes of finding that predicted southwesterly. ORC yachts were the only ones to follow the original plan,
and gybed west right off the line. Down the course, Bill Buchan’s Sachem and Garey Harr on Here&Now, were easy to spot hanging left on the run and making it work, but most boats favored hugging the east shore. Mark Brink tried both sides of the course on Terremoto. The breeze built around Edmonds, and we swapped out to the heavier kite, but nobody put on a show this year. Our GPS wasn’t showing much of a flood tide, and eventually it paid to be out in the middle and away from the shore, especially when you got close to Whidbey Island. We made good time to Scatchet Head, and chose the #2 in about 12 knots of breeze. Again, the GPS speed and course differential wasn’t showing

a flood, and we probably stuck with port tack a bit too long waiting for it. There were big lifts to be found on the course, first a big right shift and later a big lefty after Edmonds. If you were paying attention, you could basically beat straight up the course back to the finish. Hot cider warmed cold fingers and tummies, the swap out to the #3 warmed up our cold stiff bodies as the breeze built again, and the aircraft carrier only had to blow its horn at a few people and it kept us entertained. Our race wrapped up with a fun tacking duel with Dan Randolph’s, Nefarious, the beautiful Q-boat, Grayling, in front of us, and thankfully some classmates in our tail lights. The day ended with hot soup at the dock, fun times at the club, and a four-way tie for second place in our division for the series. Overall congratulations for the day went to John Cahill on Gaucho, followed by the J/105 Mor Jubilee and our favorite black boat, Here&Now. In class results, the little boats of Division 2 had strong overall finishes, and top spots went to the lovely Santa Cruz 27, Zipper, Duke Phan’s Grayling, and Cherokee. Division 3 was won by the Ross 930 Gaucho, J-29 Here&Now, and Steve Kirsch’s Vela Volta. In the J/105 fleet, podium finishers included Erik Kristen’s Mor Jubilee, Jim Geros with Last Tango, and Jerry Diercks’ Delirium. The leaderboard of Division 5, which graciously started after Division 6, included Charles Hill’s Different Drummer, the sailing team on Dos, and David James’ Beneteau 36.7, Helios. The victors of Division 6 were Jeff Whitney’s C&C115 Elusive, the legendary rockstars of Sachem, and Roger Hill’s Swan 46, Finale. In Division 7, first spot went to Andy Mack’s J/122, Grace, followed by JoyRide and Zig Burzycki’s Farr 395, Ace. Prizes in Division 8 went to Will Weinstein and Mark Brink of Terremoto, the Dougherty/Andrews team on Hamachi, and Ron Holbrook’s Constellation. Top finishes of the ORC class were, in order, Lou Bianco with R/P 55 Crossfire, John Buchan’s TP52 Glory, and John McPhail with J/160, JAM.

he last of the four race Southern Sound Series, the Gig Harbor Islands Race, was held Saturday, March 18th. Hosted by Gig Harbor Yacht Club, the race starts off the entrance to the scenic harbor, and proceeds down Colvos Passage to a temporary mark off the north end of Blake Island, and back to the finish - 29.5 NM of sometimes spectacular sailing, and this year’s version was no exception. The drive to Gig Harbor from Ballard, in the crew van, was not encouraging, as the rain lashed I-5 and little wind was evident. A brief discussion was held about having breakfast at the Tides Tavern and heading home, but upon arrival, the southerly started kicking in, and the 39 participants slipped their lines and headed to the start line. Starting with the Cruising and Commodore classes, the fleet set off in a building, and at times gusty, southerly down Colvos Passage. A building ebb pushed the fleet down the narrow passage, with the first boats arriving at the turning mark around 11:00 am. No good deed goes unpunished as the saying goes, and a 15 NM beat up
Colvos with a gusty 20 knot+ southerly, against the tide, faced the fleet. G e n e r a l l y, picking the side of the course with the “least bad” current is the winning hand in this race. That said, this year, as the skies started to clear and the breeze started to back to a gusty southwest, and ultimately, westerly, altered that call. Playing the shifts to stay in phase with the predominate right hand shifts paid for most competitors. As the squally skies changed to sunshine and gusty westerlies, the fleet stretched their legs and the upwind specialist, showed their strength. First to finish (and overall winner) was Paul LaMarche and his unusually light crewed Santa Cruz 70, Neptune’s Car, who crossed the line at 2:08 pm. Other winners included Dean Conti’s well sailed Jeanneau 509, Equus, and Christine Nelson’s always competitive J-29, Slick. By the time the fleet was back in the snug harbor, the sun was out, as was the chili and beer, while stories were being told at the Gig Harbor

swiftsure yachts The logbook for April 2017 As a cruiser, renowned author and marine systems expert, Nigel Calder has seen his fair share of what works and what doesn’t. When it came time to build a blue water cruiser, he turned to Malo Yachts of Sweden to construct the extensively customized Malo 45 Classic Nada (now Serene). Calder’s experience is evident in Serene’s layout, systems, outfitting and construction details. From her gorgeous mahogany interior to gleaming gelcoat, build details are top notch. Sail handling systems are set up with shorthanded cruising
Serene • 2005 Malo 45 Classic $489,900
in mind, with all major control lines led to Andersen electric winches at the cockpit. On deck storage space is excellent, as is her stowage space and systems access below decks. A DC based electrical system with Balmar DC genset, world voltage battery charger and high capacity inverter allow Serene to be plugged into shore power anywhere in the world and run all AC devices. All it took was a few knots of breeze on Seattle’s Lake Union to get Serene moving under sail and appreciate her potential. It’s easy to imagine getting her rolling on a tradewind reach or lying comfortably at anchor in an Alaskan fjord.
