With 115 boats, over 700 sailors, and the variety of conditions that November in the Northwest promises, Round the County was another one for the ages. Here, just off the start at Lydia Shoal on Saturday, eventual winner of the ORC Class, Jason Rhodes’ TP52 Valkyrie, charges through the fleet in 30 knots of breeze. Right with Valkyrie is the Jespersen/Macdonald Melges 32, Mischief, that won overall. Photo courtesy of Jan Anderson.

2016 Year in Review: PNW Sailing Edition The end of any calendar year invites retrospection. It has certainly been a most bizarre year... but breathe easy, I’m not about to launch a political rant. Instead, I’d like to offer my personal, completely biased and somewhat unrelated, Top Four for 2016. For something more scientific, our 48° North Top 25 Race Boats will come next month. This is just some of my favorite stuff from a wildly fun year of sailing stories. Most Impressive Accomplishment - Team Mad Dog’s R2AK Record: The record-smashing, sub-four-day blast from Port Townsend to Ketchikan completed by Team Mad Dog in this year’s Race to Alaska was simply top-drawer stuff. Facing the entirety of the Inside Passage on a boat with no cover (remember that they slept in a bivy sack they dubbed “the body bag” tied to the trampoline), they pushed hard and never stopped, averaging better than seven knots of VMG, and spending lots of time with boat speeds above 20 knots - day in, day out, upwind and down. Their Marström 32 catamaran is a boat that many, myself included, worried might not take the beating or stay right-side-up. Ultimately, they had less breakage, significantly better results, and way more fun than anybody, save the three sailors on the boat, could have imagined. Favorite New 48° North Columnist - Becca Guillote: Becca and her husband, John, have been fixtures in the Seattle sailing and liveaboard scene for a number of years. They had cruised extensively to the north and raced actively on the Farr 1220, Kotuku. But, the call of the ocean got louder and a major adventure eventually couldn’t be put off any longer. In August, they cut the dock lines and sailed away on their Valiant 40, Halcyon, circumnavigating Vancouver Island before heading south. I really love Becca’s writing, and think that her take on cruising has a tone that is both head-y and heart-y, with a humor that would accompany a clever, knowing smirk. If you haven’t been reading her stuff, I strongly encourage it! Most Essential Service to the Sailing Community - Andrew Nelson, Youth Sailing Director for The Sailing Foundation: You may have read a few of Andrew’s Youth Sailing Updates right here in the pages of 48° North, but writing the occasional youth sailing article is far from the most important thing Andrew does. Yes, it’s his job to do so, but he continues to surprise me with how much time he spends helping grow the sport of youth sailing in the area. I’ve found him to be tireless, intelligent, generous with his time and the resources The Sailing Foundation has to offer, and a thoughtful and committed steward to youth sailing programs of every stripe. There many influences in the lives of young people, but when you meet young sailors today or adult sailors in the future, many of them will have started sailing or kept sailing thanks, in part, to Andrew’s good work. Awesome Fleet Award - 505 Fleet: What began as shooting-the-breeze at the Seattle Boat Show ended up with participation in the 505 North American Championships in Bellingham that brought 50 boats from around the US and Canada. At every step in the process, I found the 505 Fleet - men and women of all ages - to be open-minded, generous, and welcoming. Extreme generosity by my friends who loaned me a boat, Chris Pittack and Anne Fitzpatrick, gave me an outlet for more than just talk. Whoa, was it fun! There are some otherworldly-good sailors in this fleet. But, there are some really good regular humans, too. The boats are standing the test of time and are a riot to sail. The racing is tight, but the camaraderie is tighter. I’ve never before had strangers bee-line over in a regatta parking lot to welcome me to an event. To top it off, those stratospherically gifted 505ers are happy to chat and share their knowledge. Sail a 505! Or, model your fleet after the 505 Fleet. Or better yet, BOTH! Have a safe and warm holiday season! Joe Cline Editor, 48° North 6

Thank you, Michele Olsen Port Townsend How scary and disappointing, Michele! I’m so glad to know that you got some help in that terrible situation and that everyone was ok, albeit with some bruises and boat damage. I’m sure you’re trying to find the owners/users of the sailboat to process an insurance claim. And I, for one, don’t think you’d be out of place to hope for some kind of explanation and apology. The response to our post on Facebook was widely shared, reaching over 5,000 people. Another 30,000+ will see this. Hopefully, more information will continue to arise. In the meantime, perhaps some of the comments from people in the 48°N community might restore a bit of your faith in other boaters:

Please help the Rat Island Rowing and Sculling Club (Port Townsend) find the sailboat involved in a Sunday, November 6, 2016, boating accident with one of our Pocock wooden shells. The incident occurred shortly before 1 p.m. in front of the Pocock Rowing Center following the Head of the Lake (HOTL) race. After completing the HOTL race, the all female crew of the wooden Pocock shell Riverside, with an average age of 65, was returning to the Lake Washington Rowing Club. As we came out from under the University Bridge heading west, a motoring sailboat was headed east towards the bridge. It struck us, flipping our boat and the four of us into the water. We called out to the people on board asking them to call for help. They did not respond to us. The bridge went up and they motored away. The name of the boat was Solara, or something similar. Fortunately, the good people of the Pocock Rowing Center came to our rescue. All of the the rowers sustained bruising and our beloved Pocock shell suffered damage. Recent surveillance photos of the incident have surfaced showing a 30-35’ sloop with a white mast and a white hull. The boat had blue bottom paint. It appears that at least two people were in the process of dousing the sail just before the incident. If you have any information, please contact Michele Olsen at 360-774-3023 or charlies1st@gmail.com.

Johanna: “I am so glad that you are all safe - it could so easily have been otherwise.” Ted: “I checked the Space Needle cam, scoured Instagram for witnesses, and poked around on Marine Traffic with no luck. Really sorry and profoundly disappointed this happened.” Craig: “Spreading the word. Hope you find them.” Marty: “I looked at the PHRF-NW site, there are about five to seven boats with names that could be...similar to the name mentioned. Nothing exact, but nonetheless, similar. I would like to think someone that races would not do something of this nature.” www.48North.com

Image courtesy of Google Maps. Trivia Correction Hey Joe, In Bryan Henry’s Maritime Trivia in November, he states: “El Salvador is the only one of seven Central American countries with an Atlantic seaboard.” Is he referring to some other El Salvador that does not have as its capital San Salvador, and is not the only Central American country not to have a Caribbean coastline? As far as I'm aware, no Central American country has an “Atlantic” seaboard - though several do have Caribbean Sea coasts - and a few even have both Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Belize has only a Caribbean coastline so it and El Salvador are the only Central American countries to not have both a Pacific and Caribbean coast. Perhaps if he’d written “without an Atlantic [meaning Caribbean] seaboard” the statement might have been more accurate. Cheers, Mark Walker Australia Thanks, Mark, for helping us keep the ship on course! My read matches yours - that Bryan meant WITHOUT an Atlantic (meaning Caribbean) seaboard.
Response to Rhys Balmer’s Article, “Two Hands, a Bent Boat, and Half a Shoestring” from September 2016 Dear 48° North, 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.

Good article. It rings true when Rhys states, “The sailing communities we come from perpetually inspire us, filling our sails and fueling our wake.” Foster Fanning via 48° North Facebook Page Thanks for the feedback, Foster! I certainly agree with you both about the truth in Rhys’s statement. Working with him on that article, and following his progress on both the refit and the race, was exciting and inspiring for me. www.48North.com

Help us warm up Ballard, donate your old gear! Everybody has some old foulweather gear they don’t need any more. Bring them to Sail Northwest and we’ll take the gear to The Bridge Care Center where they will be lovingly given out to people in our community that are in need and asking for help. The Bridge Care Center not only supports the homeless and less fortunate, but they help place people in jobs, many of which are on the fishing boats docked at Fisherman’s Terminal. The ability to place someone in a job on a boat and then hand them some foulies and boots gives them the best feeling in the world. Think about that old stuff you have sitting around: jackets, bibs, smocks, hats, gloves, boots, under layers, blankets, sleeping bags, jackets, etc., if it’s warm or waterproof, bring it to Sail Northwest, 7001 Seaview Ave NW, Suite 140, Seattle. Help us help our community with your old gear. Thanks, Ben Braden Moore 24 Owner and Sail Northwest Broker Awesome, Ben! Thanks for doing this again this year. As sailors, we’re certainly fortunate and often have a surplus of gear! This is a great cause!

Seattle Boat Show January 27-February 4 One of the most popular features year in and year out at the Seattle Boat Show is the extensive line-up of free boating and fishing seminars and the advanced training classes for a fee through Boat Show University. Many out-of-town attendees plan their travel arrangements around the seminar schedule. Others buy a multi-day pass to fit in all the seminars they want to attend. No other show in North America matches the Seattle seminar schedule in terms of the quality, variety, and number of seminars offered. New for 2017 Technology: Keeping up with technology is hard to do. Not just what’s new with the latest in marine electronics, but what about all those apps? Many of the seminars will help boaters sort through these issues. Safety No matter how much experience you have, there are always new skills to learn or refresh. Cruising There’s no shortage of advice and seminars to choose from for those planning a cruise, whether in our local waters, to Alaska or as far afield as the South Pacific. Sure to be of interest to those who have dreamed of making that left-hand turn at Cape Flattery, or who are already in the planning stages, is the NEW Offshore Sailing Forum. This will be a two-hour panel discussion with active and experienced cruisers John and Amanda Neal, Andy and Jill Cross, Will Curry, and moderator, Sarah Curry. They will draw on their years and miles of experience to answer questions. 14
Boat Show University The popular Boat Show U. programs feature well-known nautical experts such as Jeff Renner, Lee Chesneau, Mike Beemer, Kevin Monahan, Linda Lewis, Margaret Pommert, Bill Baker, Mark Bunzel, the R2AK crew and others. Day-long expert training sessions during the week cover comprehensive topics such as 101 Cruising Tips for Women, Diesel and Electrical Troubleshooting, and Marine Weather and Cruising. Other courses include how to enjoy cruising in the San Juan and Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, the Broughtons, and the dream trip Cruising to Alaska with lots of practical tips. Monday, January 30, as part of the Women's Day program, local experts, Captain Linda Lewis and Margaret Pommert, will present an all-day course, A Women’s Perspective: 101 Practical Tips for Safe and Fun Cruising. Cruising Without or Before Boat Ownership: Mark Bunzel will cover the many options available in the Northwest and beyond, including bareboat charter, crewed charter, and flotilla options. The Race to Alaska (R2AK) crew will share tips on how to survive and be successful in one of the toughest boating events of the year.

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

During ancient sea battles, sailors launched pots of burning oil at enemy ships. Roman battleships, called triremes, were powered by oars as well as sails. The remnants of salt works dating to Roman times are still being found in the saltwater marshes along the Atlantic coast of France. Ancient Romans created the beach holiday, constructing luxurious coastal retreats for seaside vacations. Originally, the word “antenna” was used by ancient Romans to mean a ship’s wooden horizontal yard, from which they hung sails. In the 1600s, the word was borrowed to mean the horns of insects such as snails. Later in the early 20th century it was applied to radio and TV receptors. Indigenous Peoples fashioned boats from salmon skin.

Indiamen, sailing ships of European companies engaged in the spice trade of the 17th and 18th centuries, were the forerunners of the mega container ships of today. Chinese ships of the 14th century had watertight bulwark compartments and balanced rudders, innovations not incorporated into European shipbuilding until the late 18th century. Several Confederate navy ships were built in England. What do the following have in common: Caique, felucca, hoy, smack, tartan, and xebec? They are all sailing vessels. The spinning blades of a windmill are called “sails.”
Lowtide The anemometer for measuring wind speeds was invented by Englishman Robert Hooke in 1667. The first book dealing completely with the marine science, Physical History of the Sea, was published in 1725 in Italy by Luigi Ferdinand Marsigli. How was the wood eaten away from the Titanic? Shipworms, which thrive in the North Atlantic. The Law of the Sea Convention of 1982 granted countries the rights to exclusive economic zones extending 200 nautical miles from their shorelines. The 1899 Rivers and Harbors Act first legislated U.S. control of water pollutants. Winston Churchill had a tattoo of an anchor on his forearm, and his black cat was named Nelson, after England’s greatest naval hero. Nelson had a special chair in Churchill’s War Room.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
Can we think of this smart, inquisitive marine mammal as the mermaid of the Salish Sea? I’d like to think so. Appropriately, harbor porpoises might share the proportions of some mermaids, at 5 feet and 120 lbs. They are the smallest of the six species of porpoises. This little beauty is probably the most common cetacean in the Salish Sea and is only found here in the inland waters of the Northwest. Scientifically known as Phocoena phocoena, harbor porpoises live among us as if they were our neighbors, and, I guess they are! Once common here, harbor porpoises almost disappeared in the 1970s, probably because of gill nets that drowned them and polluted harbors. More northerly populations survived, and now they’re back – big time. I’d like to think that cleaning up our harbors is an example of something good we’ve done for the local wildlife, for a change!
So where do we see these guys? Harbor porpoises generally tend to be solitary foragers. So, a fin may appear, then vanish for a bit, then resurface in a graceful and fluid up-and-down arc. If two fins appear, suspect a mom and young. They can have one offspring per year throughout a 15-20 year lifespan, and will often be pregnant and lactating at the same time. Occasionally a group can ‘herd’ fish into position for a meal, but that’s not common. Look for color differences in body parts. The flippers, dorsal fin, tail and back are dark. The question might be asked, “why are harbor porpoises back?” It appears their increases are more than what the local porpoise population could naturally produce themselves. Given that they are “harbor” mammals, not an offshore species, they must be coming in from the north. Whatever the reason, it’s good news for nature-watching sailors.

Winter Warmth Aboard Gypsy Wind Article, Painting, and Photographs by Alex and Christina Marie Kimball
A few years back, we found ourselves wondering what we should do to enjoy our first holiday season with our new boat, Gypsy Wind. We had moved aboard, and it was new for us not having a place big enough to host a large group. My wife, Christina Marie,
who I like to call my Gypsy, always made wonderful meals and festive tables, creating warm holiday gatherings for our friends and family on shore. I fondly remember watching the holiday lights go up around Seattle as the weather got colder,
At a time when we were unsure of what holidays on our boat might look like, I came home to find that my Gyspy had decorated the interior from cabin sole to headliner! 24

getting everyone into the spirit. So, we thought, ‘How can we share a similar experience on the boat?’ Passing through Costco, I found some lights that I felt I could take up and down every time we went sailing. With our cat-rig sailboat, it turned out to be easier than I thought. I calculated the distances, ran them up our spare halyard and voilà we had a great big symbolic tree right there in Bell Harbor Marina, on display for all the people looking down from the city. We do sail a lot, even in the winter, so I tried to streamline my holiday lighting scheme for a quick escape from the dock. I found a square box, stuck a broom handle through it; and when it was time to sail, I would wind the light strings around it, using it like a giant kite retrieving spool. It worked, and we were pleased with that little trick. I’ve had the good fortunate to spend several Christmases in Europe. One of these was in Germany, where they have Christmas markets at night. Families, friends, kids, grandparents, aunts and uncles, all come out to peruse the little shops into wee hours of the night. Festival lights strung across public markets twinkle, reflecting off of windows and giving a warm glow to the laughter below. In those shops, German craftsman display wooden carvings while hazelnuts roast on open fires. Most of all, I remember happy faces and delighted little elves running around serving goodies and snacks in classic German Christmas huts, while we shared presents and treats. Still unsure of what to expect from a holiday season aboard in Seattle, I recall a cold and windy night when I returned to the boat, stepping down the companionway to find something I couldn’t have imagined – pure holiday magic! Christina had strung twinkly lights, big ribbon bows, and painted gold pears with gilded leaves. She had left special holiday goodies under the cabin sides of the boat, arching up over the bulkheads. It was like a fairy tale, reminiscent of those Christmas markets in Germany. Maybe this whole holiday on the boat business was going to work out, after all! Our first winter aboard, it snowed. Nothing adds to the spirit of the season quite like a blanket of white! The cold weather at the dock gave us a great
all year, but often share our artwork most at the holidays. On Gypsy Wind, we always try to sail as much as possible. We are generally away from Bell Harbor three or four days a week. We love winter sailing with its strong southerlies! With four days away, it’s an easy sail to any number of local seaside spots, where the Gypsy enjoys stocking up with her bulk teas and spices and I get to visit my favorite bakeries, in search of the best chocolate pastry. This old pirate finds great pleasure in discovering a bakery Snow transforms any landscape or seascape.

We paint cards magical. Those of us who live aboard know that we enjoy a wonderful community of neighbors, dock mates, and likeminded friends.

Out for our traditional Christmas Day Sail with our girls. We seldom miss a photo op! but we’ve never had to use them. The sounds of songs and laughter seem to linger on our dock for days. When we’re in town, it’s our delight to share waterfront sails after dark, taking friends and family for a
spin under the big wheel. It’s always amazing, but during the holidays it’s like a city on sparkling steroids! We enjoy being anchored in a location where the Christmas boat parade comes to serenade those on shore or other
boats. Our guests feel pretty special with front row seats, hot toddies, and blankets in Gypsy Wind’s cockpit. Our family and kids now say we don’t need a house to be the fun grandparents. Our daughters and their families have come to spend the holiday with us many times. On several occasions, we’ve had hotels or other accommodations booked for their stay, but they always seem to wind up sleeping aboard the boat anyway. Traditionally, we take a Christmas Day sail with them. Christina Marie and I would like to wish our friends and family from our ever-growing sailing community a wonderful holiday. We get to sail in some of the most beautiful waters in the world. Though it may not be how you’ve celebrated in the past, we would encourage you to get out and use your boat as a part of your cheery winter festivities. We love it, and you will too! Alex and Christina Marie live aboard their Nonsuch 36 at Bell Harbor Marina in Seattle, WA.

ith the temperature dropping, we will be using more and more power on our boats, whether it’s to be comfortable living aboard or just to keep a boat mildew-free. When you’re not underway, shore power is the main source of this power, and the issue of how best to budget it becomes key. There are many ways to balance the power you have. Knowing how much power you have to play with and where it is going, as well as what systems or appliances draw big loads, all play important parts in this equation. Another important part of the discussion is how to use other power sources to free up some amps. For the purposes of this article let’s assume that you have a single 30-amp 120-volt shore power source, which is the most common. You could be fortunate enough to have two 30-amp or a single 50-amp source, or even be unfortunate enough to have only 15 amps, but it can be easily scaled. From that starting point, let’s examine what it means to have 30 amps. Watts is total power. Amps are often compared to the flow rate of water, whereas volts are compared to pressure. The functional equation is amps x volts = watts. So for example, 30 amps x 120 volts = 3600 watts. It seems simple, but there are plenty of ways to complicate it! To start with, not all shore power plugs are created equal, and you cannot assume you will always have 120 volts. The more amps you try to pull over a greater distance, the more resistance there is. The more resistance, the greater the voltage drop. If the volts drop for any reason, the amps must go up to maintain the

ow Budget -T Shore Power o
Safely and Economically By Jack and Alex Wilken same watts. Here’s a real life case: as we write this, the power coming into our boat is 114 volts at 9 amps, which is reduced because of resistance. The other limitation to keep in mind is that for a continuous load of longer than three hours, you should not exceed 80% of the breaker rating. 80% of a 30-amp breaker is 24 amps. Once you understand some of these basic factors and limitations, you can start budgeting your power. Typically, the large draws are your main concern. The “big boys” in the power-draw department include anything with a heating element: water heaters, space heaters, microwaves (have no actual heating element but draw plenty), toasters, hair dryers, and coffee makers - all draw significant power. Any one of these will generally take up to 1500 watts. Normally you won’t be able to use more than two such items simultaneously. Space heaters can have a very high draw, but will have adjustable settings to offset their otherwise high power usage. We know at least one space heater with settings of 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, and 1750 watts (Figure 1). In addition to the power setting, there will generally be a thermostat. The higher you set the thermostat and the colder it is, the longer and more frequently the heater will run. Other than space heaters, water heaters (which we will cover later), and some AC refrigerators, most other high draw items are either on or off, and are not normally left on for extended periods. Don’t overlook all the lower draw items either. Refrigeration, which typically runs off of the batteries, is a good example of a system with comparatively low power usage. However, it can run 24-hours-a-day and thus can use quite a bit of a charge in a day. Many of the electronics on boats www.48North.com

run off the batteries, some of which you may even use when you’re at the dock: lights, refrigeration, navigation computer, radar, bilge pump, and more. Generally, you won’t be running your radar at the dock, but if you use it when you are out sailing, the battery charger will need to fill the batteries back up when you get back to the dock. The size of the battery charger governs the maximum draw when it is first turned on, but it also depends on the state of charge of the battery bank. If a bank is close to depleted, it will take the full charge load for a half hour or so; then, it will taper off. We tend to turn the battery chargers off when we go to sleep so the fans don’t run all night. When we turn them back on in the morning, like any other times after they have been off, their draw will be the heaviest. As you can see, knowing exactly how much power you are using is both crucial and difficult to determine without an accurate way to measure it. The most important thing to know is how many amps you are using, since this is what will determine if the breaker trips and shuts off your power. Volts

Figure 3 (left): “A” are amp, hertz, and volt gauges on an AC electrical panel. “B” indicates the main AC breaker on the boat, which should match the amperage of the shore power plug.

Figure 5 (right): AC input and DC output label on power supply for a dehumidifier. are also important to know, however, because you will need to know how much of a voltage drop there is as your amps go up. Of the power coming into your boat, the last aspect you will want to measure is hertz, which should be close to 60 in North America. If it varies greatly from this, it would normally indicate a problem back at the power station. You could measure any of these with most hand-held multimeters,
though some don’t measure hertz (Figure 2, page 27) or with a dedicated amp, volt, or hertz meter. You might also consider installing gauges so you can monitor the changes as you switch circuits on and off. This would most logically be located on the AC Panel (Figure 3). The 30-amp breaker on the dock is, of course, not the only limiting breaker to keep in mind. Most outlets are rated for 15 amps and should be protected by

a 15-amp breaker. There can be many outlets protected by a single breaker, so you can easily overload a breaker for part of your boat’s electrical system without tripping the dock breaker. A properly set-up electrical panel should have a main breaker sized to the shore power plug: 30-amp for 30 amps, 50-amp for 50 amps (Figure 3). Plus, each power circuit should have a breaker appropriately sized to protect the wiring and components in the circuit. Some panels are set up so the total amperage of the breakers on each circuit does not exceed the main. With this approach, only the sub-breakers will trip under normal circumstances, not the main. Alternatively, if you desire greater flexibility in how you would like to use the available power, the total of the sub-breakers might far exceed the main. This more flexible set-up means, however, that not all the circuits can draw their allotted power without tripping the main breaker. Taking all the above into account, let’s look at the balancing act to stay comfortable on board with dropping temperatures. The first concern is always a warm cabin. An electrical space heater at full power should be able to keep at least one cabin comfortable, provided it is running most of the time and the boat has semi-adequate insulation. Max power on most heaters is 1500 watts. 1500 watts at 120 volts is 12.5 amps. Our boat is the last one on the dock and, consequently, we have the largest voltage drop. If we draw 14 amps the
voltage drops to 117. Remember that the safe, continuous load on a breaker is 80% of the breaker rating. If we up the draw to 26 amps by two heaters, the voltage falls to 107. At 107 volts, 3000 watts (two 1500 watt heaters) comes to 28 amps. In other words, it would be pushing the limits for us to run two space heaters continuously at full power for more than three hours, and we would have no power left for anything else. Obviously, adjusting the heater to a lower setting will help. Also, the more efficient the heater, the more heat you can get for the same watts. Oil-filled radiators spend no power on a fan, and so tend to be more efficient than other kinds of heaters. Our preferred space heater is easily available, oil-filled, has three power settings, is compact and stable, and has a timer dial you can set to turn on or off every 15 minutes (Figure 4). Water heaters are the other big long-term consumer. Though it might seem that one only runs periodically cycling on and off as needed to maintain the hot water - you don’t know when it that will be. Water heaters are almost always 1500 watts, using half of your 30 amps when its running. Any two heaters, water or otherwise, will eat up most, or all, of a 30-amp circuit. Therefore, if you wish to use any other big power draw (microwave, hair dryer, etc.), you will need to shut off one heater for as long as you use it. Just remember to turn it back on when you are finished! Heat is not the only consideration for comfort. Lights and any other electronics also need electricity. Fortunately, they normally need far less power. The power supply for the computer used to write this article only uses 1.6 amps of 120 AC. You can look at the sticker on most electronics, high or low consumption, to find out their power draw (Figure 5). If you keep at least one heater on a lower power setting, you should have enough for your other power needs. Once you start adding it all up, 30 amps is not much to play with. One way to help ease the budget crunch is to use other power sources for whatever load can be powered by them. Propane and diesel are the common options. They can both be used to heat stoves,
water and cabins. Some refrigerators can be powered by propane. Gasoline and diesel can power generators. It should be noted that it is generally more efficient to use fuel for heat instead of using it to generate electricity. Electricity from shore power is still cheaper to heat your boat, but you only have so much. Because heat is the big power sink, insulation becomes paramount. Some folks insulate themselves, others insulate their boat. Either way, the goal is to keep the heat from escaping. Curtains on windows, exterior window coverings, foam on the hull
or overhead, and closing off unused space will all help to keep the heat in the space you are in. Now that we know how much power we can safely use, we can better allocate it to making our boat as warm and cozy as possible. And what could be better than getting back from an invigorating winter sail, curling up in your cozy cabin, and planning the next one.

nyone who owns a boat will likely agree with me: boat projects are absurd. Various boat owners quantify this absurdity differently – some base it solely on price, others use their curse word count as a measure. For me, the absurdity of a project is based on the amount of time, resources, and bruises it demands as weighed against the complexity of the project. The more time and energy it takes to complete a disproportionately simple task, the more absurd it seems. We end up doing a lot of absurd boat projects around here, from running a new antenna wire (five hours, half a roll of tape, and three new bruises) to replacing a door latch (two hours, three different types of latches, one serious bruise). But we recently set a new standard – in fact, I think we broke the scale – for project absurdity. The new standard? Three days, four trips to the hardware store, eight broken drill bits, seven bruises, five metal splinters, three dozen grey hairs and two pissed off humans. The project? We replaced a shock chord. That’s right: we replaced a shock chord. That’s right: it took three days. It all started when we were sailing towards Golden Gate Bridge under our
30
full color spinnaker (the “whomper”) and I noticed the bungee chord side of the bridle between the spinnaker pole and the topping lift was frayed almost all the way through at full tension. I made a mental note to add it to the (rapidly lengthening) project list for our stopover in San Francisco. When the project came up to the top of the list, I spent a while jiggling the bungee with my ear to the pole, trying to discern where it ended, to no avail. So I made my best guess and took a drill to the stainless steel rivets at the center connection, where two sections of the pole join. It took two of us with some line engineering and a winch to separate the sections a few inches, but we couldn’t slide the two apart; the wire connecting the pull chords to the jaws were too short to allow any extension in the pole. But I could peer through the crack and see that there was no bungee chord end in sight. In fact – the chord was doubled, which means I most certainly did not buy enough replacement chord! I cleaned up the metal rivet slivers and called it a day. The next morning I stared at the spinnaker pole for a good 30 minutes before just closing my eyes and December 2016

pointing to an end with a 50/50 shot to find the shock chord terminus. Another round of rivet drilling and I pulled off the mast end of the pole to find... a doubled up shock chord with no end. There are only three places where it is possible to disassemble our spinnaker pole. In case you’re not keeping track, I’ve now disassembled two of them. I have a stare-down with the jaws end of the pole. This side is not attached with rivets, but with flathead stainless steel bolts. Huge bolts that have had decades to sit in salt water, gradually fusing with the aluminum around them to form disfigured mounds of indistinguishable metal. This was war. I poured on the better part of a bottle of PB Blaster and came back a few hours later armed with a torch, a mallet, an impact driver, and a stiff drink. I’ll save you the gory details, but have to confess the spinnaker pole was winning. I was down four impact bits, I was bleeding, and my drink was empty. Not a single bolt had budged. I called for backup. John headed into battle while I licked my wounds. But he lost a few more drill bits and gained a few wounds without making any progress. We retreated for the night. As with many wars drawn out too
far, we had long since forgotten why we were battling the spinnaker pole in the first place, the shock chord far from our minds. We just knew those bolts had to come out. Enough damage had been done now; we had to finish the job. Morning of day three, John awakens with a new tactic that came to him in a dream. I did not make that up; John came up with a new method for removing the corroded bolts while he was sleeping. Using a zap strap, a heavy-duty screwdriver, a crescent wrench and a lot of arm strength, he was able to rip out those bolts, recovering the ground we had previously lost and claiming a victory at last. I did a celebration dance and stepped on some metal shards, quickly pulled out of my revelry to survey the damage. Most of the tools we own littered the decks. Piles of metal shrapnel threatened our every step. The spinnaker pole lay there in four pieces, broken and dejected. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a neatly coiled shock chord, brand new and likely much too long, and the full absurdity of this project hit me hard. It took me no longer than twelve
The now-infamous spinnaker pole shock cord of absurdity! minutes to run the new shock chord. Twelve minutes. Then a new battle began. We had to buy a rivet gun; then go back for bigger rivets. Nobody in Sausalito carries bolts that wide. It took all the grease we had to hammer the two sections of pole back together. We snapped the tap in half trying to rethread one of the more disfigured bolt holes. It was the last one, so we called it finished; 4 bolts are plenty. Perhaps the most challenging part of the boat project that careens off the Scale of Absurdity is that after all that, the pole doesn’t look any different. A

few shiny rivets, a shock chord that is still white, many more dings and scratches, but basically the same. However, I can say with certainty I will never look at it the same again. That spinnaker pole commands a whole new level of deference. And that shock chord – I look at that bungee with equal parts contempt (for leading me into that mess) and protection (to ensure I never have to do it again). The best part, of course, is marking another project off the list. Becca and John are now in Bahía Tortugas, Mexico. Follow their adventures at halcyonwandering.com

n the early miles of the 2016 Victoria to Maui International Yacht Race, Crossfire, a 55-foot custom ReichelPugh race boat, flew like a rocket, reaching a record speed of 32.5 knots. Crossfire’s experienced 10-person crew including owner Lou Bianco, navigator Bruce Hedrick, and boat manager Nigel Barron - was on track to cover more than 400 miles in 24 hours. However, despite this early progress, when the Vic-Maui time record fell, Crossfire would be safely home in Seattle. Crossfire’s retirement from VicMaui has been a hot-button topic for sailors around the Northwest and beyond. Hedrick’s immediate report about why they called it quits has been shared in various outlets. The situation has been widely discussed and, on

occasion, criticized. But, the largely untold story involving the decision to turn back and subsequent events reveals the challenges they faced and highlights the good seamanship and prudence that both motivated the choice to retire and brought them safely home when further gear failure threatened boat and crew. Celebrating its half-century, the 2016 Vic-Maui race began in midJuly with 22 boats competing in a race spanning the 2,308 nautical miles from Victoria, BC to Lahaina, Maui. From the start, spectators closely tracked racers while racers closely tracked forecasts, including the trajectory of several tropical storms developing near Hawaii. What the GRIB files don’t reveal and what race trackers can’t show, however, are the unexpected breakdowns and resulting seamanship that defines such a race and its competitors. Approximately 450 miles offshore, the Crossfire crew found itself racing along in a confused sea state with 25-30 knots of wind, not stressed but instead focused on staying ahead of the seemingly endless sequence of tropical storms. After losing the A4 spinnaker when the clew blew out, Crossfire sailed on with the A5 until things changed abruptly when the fractional halyard failed. Quick to respond, the crew secured the wet and shredded sail. They December 2016

continued under staysail and main and took stock of the situation, still making 15 knots of boat speed. For navigator Bruce Hedrick, the severity of the situation began to stack up with the uncertainty about the integrity of the other halyards, which came with the boat when it was purchased and brought to Seattle less than an year earlier. Additionally, they had lost both of their heavy air racing spinnakers. Finally, when he considered the incoming tropical storms and reduced sail inventory, he wondered, “are we still going to get in front of them?” Nigel Barron, a longtime crewmate of Hedrick’s and a key part of the Crossfire program, reached a similar conclusion, especially acknowledging Hedrick’s experience and acumen as a navigator and weather router. Barron, Hedrick, owner Lou Bianco, and another experienced crewmember, John Stanley, privately discussed the situation and weighed the risks of continuing or retiring. Experience told them it was time to turn home, their competitive edge lost and the boat getting further from the mainland by the minute. “It was hard because someone has to make that decision,” says Barron. Preparation, innumerable hours of boat work, vacation time, and financial investment in the boat and the race, all made the choice difficult, but Barron continued, “we knew that if we fail, we must fail to safety.” The four made the final call to retire unanimously, understanding that some of the crew would be disappointed. This was the first of several crucial decisions that tested the Crossfire crew’s skill, stomachs, and seamanship. Crossfire retired from the Vic-Maui race, hoping to save the boat and crew from additional wear and tear and make the safest choice. They decided to sail back to Seattle, instead of locations in California or Oregon, which were closer, because of the increasingly windy weather along their coastlines, and the fact that they had the crew, the supplies, and the time to avoid a difficult delivery in the future. They sailed north towards the Pacific high, which might have looked like a heading that didn’t really bring them closer to home, but Hedrick knew it was in the best interest to sail in the
direction of more moderate breeze. The crew lowered and secured the main, a long and arduous process with that big a sail in that much breeze. They sailed on under jib alone at 7-8 knots. The unexpected beat upwind was uncomfortable and seasickness set in amongst some crewmembers. After 24 hours of bouncing and pounding, Crossfire tacked toward home in the afternoon as planned. Closer to the high, the wind had backed off to 15 or 20 knots, but the sea state remained significant and confused. Three hours after the tack, it was still daylight when there was a loud “BOOM!” Clearly, it was the sound of something breaking, but what had happened? Hedrick was at the helm and turned the boat off the wind, reducing the load on the rig to buy some time to determine what had happened. Right away, they could see a lot of slack in the luff of the headsail and the crew on deck didn’t hesitate, moving quickly to set halyards forward. Barron said his feet barely touched the deck as he sprinted from the back of the boat. Two spinnaker halyards were run to the tack fitting on the bow, and the genoa staysail halyard attached to the staysail fitting in the middle of the foredeck to stabilize the rig. “This isn’t the first time I’ve been on a boat that lost a headstay” Barron added, “That slack and the ballooning of the luff curve was a clear indicator of what happened.” The stem ball fitting at the top of the mast had broken, releasing the headstay and imperiling the rig. Despite the intensity of the moment, the crew remained cautious and thorough. For example, following the breakdown, they started the engine but waited to shift into gear. They did a full line check and inspected around the keel, rudder and propeller using an endoscope. They suspected there might be some debris under the boat based on the way it was sailing. They held off shifting into gear until a large section of synthetic line floated up from under the boat, most likely part of a freighter dock line. With the rig relatively secure, the keel clear and the engine in gear, Crossfire faced a new challenge: getting to land with just under 20 gallons of fuel, hundreds of miles still to go, with a damaged rig.
In Hedrick’s view, they were still safe and in control; the boat didn’t have a hole, they had plenty of food and water, and above all, no one was injured. They alerted the Coast Guard, Vic-Maui organizers, and supporters on shore to the situation, but remained confident they could bring the boat home. Looking back, Barron says, “We stayed one step in front of Top of the headstay where the stemball fitting broke off. bad the whole way.” An offshore veteran, Hedrick of fuel left.

By Michele Rogalin Henderson
We are nearly six months in to our journey and have learned quite a few things (often the hard way) about anchoring in a myriad of conditions. When we set out in June, we had yet to set the anchor on the Ardea. We are equipped with CQR plow anchor as our main anchor, a Danforth plow backup/stern anchor, and a Danforth fluke backup. We also have a newly rewired windlass and 250 feet of chain rode. With gear like this, how hard could it be? We set the anchor for the first time the way we always had – we check out the anchorage on the chart and get an idea about where we want to go. I take the helm and Noj goes forward to set the anchor. We turn up into the wind, he sets it, signals me, I put the engine in reverse and back it down. Then we go neutral and wait for a bit to ensure it’s set, and put out 3:1 scope. This our typical set-it-and-forget-it approach. 34
Very easy, straightforward stuff. This worked well for us in the San Juan Islands and southern British Columbia. Once we made it to northern B.C. and into Alaska, things started to get a little trickier. With tidal exchanges in excess of twenty feet, we quickly found that we had more to calculate than the depth at the time we set and where we were with respect to the tide. Depending on conditions and how much scope we had out, we also had to calculate how close to shore we would get when the tide was low in smaller anchorages. We were in Alaska in a small anchorage called Duck Bay, one of the very few anchorages in a long stretch of water. As such, we opted to anchor here when we would otherwise avoid it. On the chart we could see that the usable part of the bay was limited, as it shoaled fairly quickly. Most of the bay was over a hundred feet, with the December 2016

exception of this area at the outflow of a small river. When we set the anchor (in about 30 feet of water), we were a bit concerned about the shallow areas we knew were around us, but it was late, and we were ready for some down time after a very long passage. We awakened quite early the next morning, knowing that the tide was ebbing, with a projected negative tide. Within 20 minutes we had small sandy islands appearing all around us. We pulled up the anchor quickly and made it out with very little water under the keel. By the time we left the bay it looked like the area we had anchored had nearly no water! Being aware of the timing of the tides and planning ahead got us out of there before the low slack left us high and dry. The first time we anchored with a stern tie was in Desolation Sound in Isabel Bay. The two spots that were any good for anchoring were taken. It was late, and we didn’t leave time to go elsewhere, so we opted to stern tie. We put the anchor down about 60 feet into the rocky bottom and Noj jumped in the Minto and rowed to shore with the stern line. It was a challenge to climb up the rocks to find a tree, but he managed to tie a bit off of the starboard stern. As the anchorage was quite small, there was little space, so we tied fairly close. I felt nervous about it, as it seemed like the angle was off. As the sun set, we left it set as it was, thinking, “As long as the breeze doesn’t fill in we should be fine...” It wasn’t forecast to do so, and off to sleep we went. We were awakened at 0430 by the sound of breeze and a strange scraping noise. The breeze was on our beam and we were pushed over to the rocks, held by the anchor and the stern line. Suddenly wide awake, we sprung into action (in our pajamas). Noj went to the bow to take up the anchor, hoping to pull us out away from shore. Meanwhile, I untied the stern line. The one fortunate thing we did was to loop the line around the tree and tie it back on the stern, so we needed only to untie and pull it, without going to shore. At this point the breeze was full-on, and seemingly eager to put us on the rocks. With the stern line free, I fended off the rocks until we swung clear and then took the helm. I kept the boat in gear with enough momentum
to offset the breeze and keep us clear of the rocks, while Noj finished pulling up the anchor. We made it out, relatively unscathed. With no chance for further sleep, we opted to go fish. We started a “Things We’ve Learned” page in our cruising notebook, with items like: don’t tie closer than 50 feet, always tie perpendicular to the shore, don’t arrive too late to have options, and if something seems off, change it. We utilized this list for later, successful, stern tying in the Octopus Islands, and have referred back to this as we continued our journey. In Alaska, anchorages became a bit of a challenge because they are often rocky, rather than the nice sticky mud that we were accustomed to. There are also fewer convenient places to anchor. One time, we anchored in a bight outside of Tracey Arm, as there was a southerly and it offered the most protection. The sound of the chain grinding on the rocks is quite disconcerting, particularly when the tidal exchange is 25+ feet, the spot for anchoring is about three boat lengths wide, and the cruise ships blaze past at all hours creating mini tsunamis in their wake. Other than these minor inconveniences, we were confident that we were well set. We have since made the addition of a trip line, which allows for pulling up the anchor by hand if it gets stuck in the rocks. I never did find it easy to relax with the grinding noise of the chain on rock, but became more confident in our ability to set well in these conditions. There were also a couple of anchorages in Alaska where we experienced the williwaws – crazy sudden big breeze blazing down the fjords. Having a well set anchor is critical here, as these sudden winds blow in excess of 40 knots! Noj had been talking about the williwaws, but with a name like williwaws, and my inability to Google it, I was sure he was making it up. We had anchored in Cannery Cove and watched as the fog came swooping over the mountain and down toward us. Very suddenly it was blowing like crazy. We were scrambling to tie down random bits on the deck – it was amazing! There were rocks down wind from us, but our anchor held fast. (We may have done a little high five about our anchoring skills a short
time later when the winds abruptly ceased.) Anchoring in California has been interesting because there are really no quiet coves, only areas where there is less breeze and less swell. The bottom here is usually sandy, so we use more scope, 5:1. We stopped in Monterey Bay to wait out a series of storms. This is where we attempted to set the stern anchor for the first time. The swell was substantial, even tucked in where we were. The Ardea, invariably, ended up in the trough, which makes the boat roll side-to-side rather than fore and aft. Translation: no Noj goes ashore in the Minto to secure the stern tie around a tree, a trick job with steep and slippery shoreline. sleep. Our first go failed, shortly after we had drifted off to sleep.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
Over Exposed Crepuscular rays (sun beams) always bring out the shutter bug crew on Totem; along with sunsets, sunrises, and other sunlight shows. December may be an odd time to ruminate on the sun, but we’ve got an exciting project underway. For several years, we’ve been without good cockpit protection. The awning that stretched over the cockpit succumbed to sun exposure. Finally, a new cockpit covering is in the works. With chilly autumn days in Washington DC, we welcome every ray of solar energy. By Christmas though, we’ll be bombarded with electromagnetic radiation from hot Caribbean sun, and need the new bimini for shade. One of the most common questions we get goes something like this: how do you fair skinned, pasty people keep from burning in the tropics? We start with liberal applications of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide blended together in the brand named Blue Lizard Sensitive. Along with that, adding hats and limiting direct midday sun help prevent that boiled lobster look.
And shade patches. It’s a bit ironic that warm, sunny days get boaters out on the water, under cover and slathered in sun block. Harsh sun! Sun damage from ultraviolet light takes its toll on more than the crew. Fiberglass, sails, lines, cushions, sealants, hatch/port lens and gaskets, plastics, and paint all suffer UV degradation. We spend a lot of money to prevent or slow down the process. Waxes, varnishes, and paints have UV blockers added to better protect the surfaces they cover. Plastics have UV stabilizers added to last longer in sun exposure. Sails have sacrificial protection, as in mainsail cover or furling headsail UV cover, to block ultraviolet light. As sacrificial implies, it doesn’t go well for the cover; and they’re not inexpensive to replace. Engineering in protection from UV degradation does add cost. Proven products may be well worth it, but evaluate before investing to be sure. For example, UV stabilized polyester thread has been around for decades and is the common choice for sail
As blond, fair-skinned people, we often get asked how we avoid sunburn. Fewer people ask how the sun affects our boat! A new custom bimini ought to help with both! 36

covers, awnings, dodgers, biminis, and the like. Sailrite sells a 4oz spool of UV stabilized polyester thread for $13.95. UV stabilized sounds perfect. In 2008 we installed a new dodger on Totem. The fiberglass hardtop has a long UV life. Soft sides made from Sunbrella fabric and Isinglass (clear plastic) offer a reasonable life, but the thread failed in in 2.3 years of UV exposure between temperate Puget Sound to tropical Mexico. Of course, that failure came at an inconvenient time: day one of nineteen crossing to Marquesas. So out came the palm and needle to stitch it back together. UV stabilized thread isn’t so stable. There is a better product, in PTFE (Teflon) thread, sold under different brand names such as Tenara and Profilen. Sailrite sells a 4oz spool of PTFE thread for $69. That’s five times more expensive! Crazy, except that it does not suffer any UV degradation. Our dodger sewn with PTFE thread would’ve cost maybe $50 more; well worth it for reliability. Sailing around the world, by far the most common sail repair that this sailmaker has seen is resewing the furling UV cover back into place. A Sunbrella cover fabric can last eight to ten years, but not polyester thread. PTFE thread costs more, but will keep the cover in place to protect the sail. Skipping this detail will cost far more money and hassle getting the cover resewn on two or even three occasions during the life of the sail. And it’s always inconvenient! Figuring PTFE thread and Sunbrella fabric into new cockpit covers is the easy part. The challenge, and reason we’ve been without it for far too long is the structure. The old above boom awning won’t work with the newer mainsail cover and lazyjack system. We’ve explored different awnings attached to the boom, with removeable frames, and strung up between support lines. We’ve also considered conventional bimini designs. Like all things boat, there are pros and cons to each. Aside from being in remote places with limited or no facilities to fabricate a new cockpit cover, we couldn’t get over the bigger
negative of each design. Awnings can’t be used underway. Biminis block or limit sail and rig visibility, and can make it awkward getting in and out of the cockpit. For the last two ocean crossings, and three continents, we’ve relied on a sarong strategically clipped into place for cockpit shade. It’s a poor substitute. Along comes Mark, who attended one of our presentations. Afterwards, he reached out offering “for material cost” welding and metal working services through his small business, TurboXS, that makes car parts. I began listing potential projects, when Behan said, assertively, “cockpit cover.” With a clear mandate, a rarity in Washington DC, we worked through design aspects again and settled on a bimini style covering. It’ll overlap a portion of Totem’s hardtop dodger and extend aft to the end of the cockpit. To reconcile the challenge of moving in and out of the cockpit easily and being able to see the sails without going to the side deck, the bimini frame has an unusual shape. Over the middle section of cockpit, running fore and aft, is stainless steel tubular frame
“Totem’s” sun-readiness will be key as the heads to the Caribbean this winter. and Sunbrella cover fixed in place. On both sides, the Sunbrella cover can be folded toward the middle, out of the way for visibility and cockpit access; or pulled outward over the cockpit side combings for sun and rain protection. The edges of the fabric will have round battens sewn in for structure and ease of handling. Maybe it’s a better mousetrap, or
not. It’s certainly better than a sarong, and shifts one project from the “too hard” basket to being done. And getting back to tropical sun, with solar panels charging away, this crew will have it made in the shade.

Seattle Yacht Club
Grand Prix
The Match 35, “Vela Volta,” racing amongst the J/80s: “Jolly Green,” “Taj Mahal,” “Underdog” and “Stellar J.”
E
very fall, the Grand Prix Invitational Regatta caps the racing season with an opportunity for the top boats to race in the wide variety conditions that late October provides. Hosted for the 40th year by Seattle Yacht Club, the event is the premier racing event in the northwest and a focal point for many top programs’ racing schedule. This three-day event, with a short day of buoy racing Friday followed by a distance race on Saturday and then more short courses Sunday, promises a wide range of conditions and challenges for all skippers and crews that attend. Turn out this year was dominated by the seemingly unstoppable J/105 fleet, bringing nine closely matched one design boats out for all three days of racing. Accompanying the J/105s were five other racing fleets ranging from the J/80 one-design to the monsters of the ORC big boat fleet. Racing began Friday afternoon with a light southerly settling into 8-15 knots of wind from the south while a steady current was flowing out of the locks. With the course 38

being set just off the Shilshole Marina breakwater, the traditional short tack up the rocks was the name of the game for several fleets, while others tried their hand at the steady breeze to the west. For the pair of TP52s, the name of the game was match racing, with the leading boat at every mark working hard to stay between the boat behind and the finish. This style of racing is always a challenge, and forcing your opponent to tack or gybe into unfavorable shifts is the only way to run. With the two boats tacking within inches of one another and lead changes at every mark it surely put on a show for the beachcombers at Golden Gardens. On Saturday morning the race committee stayed traditional with a distance race taking fleets south around Blakely Rock. The sound was a mess of swirling wind and glassy patches in the morning, shooting from puff to puff and peeling to drifters was all the fleet could do to keep moving towards Blakely Rocks. With wind dropping as boats reached West Point we ghosted across the finish line which the Race
Committee had moved to just north of the point. When all was said and done, Neptune’s Car won the day after a phenomenal day of racing in the ORC fleet. Sunday brought racers to the waters north of Meadow Point in a light south easterly, the first race of the day taking boats deep into the bay north of Meadow Point. As the leading fleets were headed to the leeward mark, a dramatic shift in the wind forced head race officer, Brian Ledbetter, to call off the race and reset the course for the new breeze. With the wind oscillating, it finally settled and all fleets were able to start again and work towards the weather mark. Playing the shifty breeze was key and allowed for many boats to escape the pack as the wind got light towards the end of the race.

The event comes to a close with a fantastic awards dinner hosted at the Seattle Yacht Club. A rare occasion for many sailors to dress up, it is always a treat to see so many friends enjoying themselves. Photographs from the weekend are displayed on the big screen behind the podium. A table full of trophies and bouquets of flowers are awarded to top boats from each fleet, and before the night is out, all the sailors are given the opportunity to thank the race committee for their hard work and a fantastic weekend. by Doug Hansen photos by Jan Anderson results on page 46
Gig Harbor Yacht Club
LeMans Race
I
t’s hard to imagine that 49 years ago, Gig Harbor Yacht Club first created the LeMans sailboat race! The uniqueness of this race is that all boats are anchored, in Gig Harbor yes, anchored - with all crew below deck, until the starting signal. Then the crew may come on deck, raise the anchor, set sail and start the race. The 2016 LeMans racers gathered for the skippers meeting in some rain and a very light northerly wind. It was great seeing old friends and several times we heard, “Of course we’re doing this race. We can’t miss the LeMans!” If the venerable Cal 40, White Squall, could talk, there would be exciting stories of past dashes to the harbor mouth. As boats headed to their respective start lines (yes, there’s more than one) the skies began to clear. The course runs from inside the harbor to a temporary mark on Vashon Island, east of Pt. Richmond, and back to Gig Harbor, 9.2 miles overall. A light ebb began about 40 minutes before the gun for the first start at 10:30 am. Spectators along the waterfront and those at the old ferry landing followed the rainbow of chutes as the fleet worked its way past the Gig Harbor lighthouse. Crews were challenged to keep their spinnakers full but the beginning ebb worked to their advantage. Once outside and away from the lee of the land, spinnakers were changed to headsails and a 6-8 knot northerly made for a

nice beat to the mark north of Camp Sealth. Brian Duchin’s Tango was first to round, less than 1.5 hours after their start. The run back to the finish seemed to favor the middle to left of the course. Tom Mitchell, on Cuatro Vientos, commented, “We gybed many times to stay in lanes and follow the shifts. Some that went way left did very well, but those on the peninsula side seemed to lose out.” The final challenge of the day, was reentering the harbor. Back in the lighter wind and with the current still ebbing, there were big gains and losses in that final half mile. In the end, Class 1 boats took the first five places in the overall standings. Ron Holbrooks’s Constellation crossed the line first, but Grace E corrected out for first overall. The smallest boat in the fleet, Jon and Debbie Thompson’s Cal 20, Willie Tippit, led classes 2 and 3, finishing 6th overall. Part of the fun tradition of the LeMans, is the gathering back at GHYC for food, drinks, photos, great conversation and of course to hear results. Those in attendance heard about the developing plans for the 50th anniversary of this unique race. Do you remember when the start began on shore and a crew member had to row out to their anchored boat? Well, there will be a class for that! by Jaime Storkman photos by Jeffrey Acker results on page 46 Below: Heading out to Colvos Pass.

Guemes Channel to Orcas Island in the dark, rainy, mellow breeze. The tide was huge, and soon the wind starting building off Lydia Shoal. The Race Committee, led by the incomparable Charlie Rathkopf, worked hard to set and anchor in deep water, huge current and building breeze. The line was being readjusted until right before the warning signal. The pin originally looked favored, especially since it was close to the tide relief on shore. However, the RC boat kept motoring upwind until you couldn’t ignore
that it was nearly directly upwind of the pin. Many boats had a hard time getting to the line with adverse current, sail changes, and reefs in the last few minutes. By the time the gun blew, we were full on #3 with just a little main. In the little boat fleet, we are especially at the mercy of the tide. Poke and Destroy called it by starting at the boat and footing fast for the shore. Here and Now took the high road, and we took the middle. Boats like Pangaea and Blade Runner started at the pin and fared well, if they stayed on the beach side of the course. Bigger and faster boats were in the following divisions, and the shore mattered less to them. Before Top: “Madame Pele,” “Natural Mystic,” and “Mata Hari” at the start.

long, boats could play the easterly shifts and make the other side work. The breeze backed off temporarily for many in the middle of the pack around the south end of Blakely, with many sticky spots to capture you. As we passed James Island and Bird Rocks it was back to fullon, 30+ knots and waves breaking over your head. If anyone stayed totally dry, I want those foulies! I took a driving break to hang out on the foredeck and could have used a snorkel. Hopeful, optimistic, or just unwise, we held the #1 because “Davidson Rock is right there!

the A-kite and were ready to get launched! In short order the wind clocked back and dropped to a slow run and eventual drift. We made it to the short course finish, but did the math and realized it wasn’t in the cards for us to finish full course. We bailed early, and spooked the herd around us. The sun made a dramatic appearance and fabulous sunset at Roche Harbor. The marina was buzzing with stories and sailors all night. Mischief, Terremoto and Poke & Destroy ruled the seas for the day. Sunday morning was sunny and beautiful, if a bit light on breeze. The tide was gently trying to give us a push across the line and in the right direction. I am sure the big boats were entertained by getting a close up view of our start, but the wall of wind shadow and tidal push made it fairly difficult to get footing on the starting line. The other divisions may have tired of our shenanigans, but we were polite and civil for all three starts before we were eventually “all clear!” and on our way.
“RTC delivered in usual fashion with some epic rips followed by mind numbing parking lots.”
– Dan Kaseler on “Mama Tried”
On the run toward Turn Point, you needed eyes in the back of your head and full concentration in front. Gotta play the tactics in front of you since you’re catching up, and the wind shifts and big boat shadows are all happening in the rear view mirror. Lots of zigs and zags and swapping crossings. And then, Turn Point! Don’t get too close, it’ll swallow you up! Don’t go too far out, the wind will die and it’s just extra distance! Hindsight is 20/20 and sometimes it pays to sit just behind the competition and go to school, and I’ll say we eventually took it too far left. In what I consider to be an anomaly, the middle paid off on the reach across to Patos and we
got hung out to dry on the Canadian shore and watched all of our little twins sail by. After we let the fleet pass, the wind filled for the north end group and we made tracks for Alden Point. The second half was a battle back through the pack. At Clements Reef, we were all into our #3s and going strong. We stayed outside of the dreaded Peapod Rocks, but Hobie Trippin and the Zipper made the inside work. We were all full hike, right up until the last 100 yards. So close, and yet so far! After many tacks and a gybe in there somewhere, Mata Hari slipped ahead and Celebration coasted along. Family Affair and Cherokee waited for us, and we heard that beautiful whistle on shore. Spectacular weekend, including the wet cold frustrating moments. We do it because it’s hard, not because it’s easy! And love it every time. by Stephanie Schwenk photos by Jan Anderson results on page 46

F all R egatta
The Fall Regatta is Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s only multi-race event day of the year, and it falls at just the right time of year for the weather to leave us guessing right up until the last minute. After a record October rainfall followed by a warmer-than-usual autumn, this year ’s races was warm, but nearly windless. On subsequent days with the popular Race Your House event, a record attendance for this year ’s Fall Regatta rounded out an epic fun-filled weekend for liveaboards and racers alike. The party began with another first - the combined Fall Membership Party & Race Your House skipper ’s meeting Friday night with live music, prizes, and the usual camaraderie followed by Race Your House Saturday and awards at the Sloop Tavern. Sunday’s races began with a short, but challenging, jaunt around
Shilshole Bay. Choosing the right (or wrong) lanes between where the wind and tides might agree to be the most favorable, was the game. With all boats finishing, another race was launched under sun and blue skies as the wind waxed and waned, allowing a few lucky sailors to sneak in early while the rest of us fought the good fight an inch at a time, eventually prompting a shortened course. Awards for this last STYC race of 2016 were held at the Ballard VFW with free pizza and beer, rounding out a complete weekend with the perfect balance of sailing, racing, beer, and good friends. Next up? The Sloop Tavern Yacht Club Christmas party will ring in the new year with the changing of the guard at the Swedish Cultural Center this December 10th, welcome to all. by Ashley Bell results on page 46

PHRF-NW Annual Meeting January 15 PHRF-NW is a home grown handicapping system that was designed to allow diverse sailboats to compete against one another fairly. It has now evolved into a nationwide phenomena but the PNW chapter is still autonomous (though technically, we are under US Sailing and we are called Area H). As the year draws to a close, we are ramping up for yearend discounts on membership and our open-to-the-public annual meeting on Sunday, January 15, at 10:00 pm, at the Seattle Corinthian Yacht Club. PHRF is an all-volunteer organization, with the exception of our business manager, Mary White. The organization is comprised of a board of directors and a group of handicappers. Essentially, each member yacht club has their own handicapper and there are enough “at large” handicappers to handle the overflow or boats that are racing from out of the area. There are regular meetings, and members are allowed to file to have their own or any other handicap reviewed. Each year PHRF directors meet and discuss the needs of an ever44
changing membership. Of course, not everything can change all at once and, on occasion, oversights have been made. The current board is working more diligently than ever to address these concerns. Whether you’re considering joining a yacht race or are a current active member, there are some new wrinkles for 2017. This innovative rating system allows sailboats of every size, kind, and description to compete against one another under a handicap related to a boat’s potential performance. Owners are obligated to send in a series of measurements (that can typically be completed in about an hour). As yacht design has evolved over the years, PHRF has struggled to address the needs of its membership. Water ballast, carbon fiber, deep bulbs, and foils have proved troublesome for the handicappers to fairly address. Asymmetric sails, code 0s, square-top mains are among the developments that can keep a handicapper scratching his head. After 50 years, PHRF is still financially secure long after a veritable alphabet soup of rating December 2016

systems have come and gone. Many sailors will remember competing under CCA, IOR, IOR MKIII, IMS, MORC, MHS, and a host of other handicapping systems now lost to the depths of Davy Jones’ locker. But for PHRF-NW to continue to deliver its essential service to the region’s racers, there is a move to modernize and adapt. Currently a new website is in the works that will be more user friendly, and the handbooks have been replaced by an online version. In order to encourage participation, club handicappers are obligated to keep their member clubs abreast on the latest developments. As a racer, your feedback is welcome, as is your presence, at the annual meeting. And don’t miss out on membership savings if you register by December 31, 2016! If you have ever considered going racing or you have left the fold and want to come back out, it’s a great time join the fun. PHRF-NW is set to facilitate your participation and is eager to involve you in the process. by Andy Schwenk, current PHRF secretary and owner of Northwest Rigging in Anacortes.
his year marked the sixth annual T return of Race Your House, brought to you by the Sloop Tavern
Yacht Club and The Washington Liveaboard Association. The only qualifier is that the boat must be your primary residence. Everyone is welcome. Everything is free, such as the skipper ’s meeting held the night before, which included two kegs of beer, burgers, a live band, a 2016 R2AK presentation (organized and moderated by 48 North’s own Joe Cline and featured team Mad Dog Racing, Jungle Kitty and team Bunny Whaler) …and raffle tickets that resulted in all kinds of swag. Race day was full of spirit. Wind from the south to maybe 8 knots and no rain in the forecast. The course was set as Start/West Point/ P o i n t M o n ro e / M e a d o w P o i n t / Finish. The special mark (Pt Monroe) used only for this race is significant because it becomes a drag race … popular especially with the full keelers that typically have trouble sailing to weather and have lots of water line. It’s all for fun right … so why not set a fun mark? All the starts went off with ease before the wind slowly shut down. The important strategy to hold on to was to stay out. Most of those that followed the wind into the corner by the canal entrance got stuck in there. In the end the whole fleet stood still for well over an hour, but hey, it was actually sunny and warm and as long as your boat didn’t run out of beer, everything was fantastic! Slowly the pressure converged

lightly from the north and those that were the furthest outside started to move. It was light, but steady and …did I mention still sunny and warm!? All the boats finally made their way around West Point and the faster boats were well on their way to Pt. Monroe. The PRO for the event and incoming commodore of STYC, Shannon Renner, and the captain of the committee boat (Cambria), Mark Aberle, made the call to shorten the course at Pt Monore. Every boat that wanted to finish did. The awards were held at the Sloop Tavern later that evening. More swag, including a few haul outs, were given away and everybody woke up on Sunday with a giant smile on their face and happy memories. by Mikey Beste photos by Jan Anderson results on page 46

swiftsure yachts The logbook for December 2016 Bonni Jean • $195,000 2006 • Beneteau First 44.7 Bonni Jean is a true dual purpose sailing yacht. This hugely successful Farr-designed, Beneteau-built racer-cruiser does it all. Bonni Jean is outfitted for this duality with a competitive sail inventory, quality rigging, and race bottom. Removable dinghy davits, cruising genoa, mainsail lazy-bag, cockpit canvas, diesel heater, and electric anchor windlass will keep the entire family comfortable while cruising. Until 2013, Bonni Jean spent her early years in Chicago in fresh water and winter storage. Equipment highlights include: Espar hydronic heat, North 3Di mainsail in 2015, Iverson’s Design cockpit dodger and bimini, electric flush heads, and Selden removable bowsprit with integral tack line. – pete mcgonagle, swiftsure yachts
