July 2018

Old Friends I can’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia about some of my favorite sailing events. While there’s always an understandable drive for something that’s new, for the next big thing, heading off to these classic events has the soul-replenishing effects of visiting an old friend. I’m reminded of this emotional reaction because I just got home from spending a couple of days in Port Townsend for the start of Race to Alaska (R2AK). In the landscape of sailing events, R2AK would still be fairly categorized as the reigning next big thing. But I have the hipster’s pleasure of boasting, “I was there at the beginning.” When I go to that idyllic seaside town for the annual celebration of Type II Fun, of courage, and of dirtbaggery, I warm myself by the familiar fire of racers’ burning passion for adventure. I recognize those faces, stroll up and down those well worn docks, check out the newest iteration of the usual boat modifications, and record interviews that have reverberations of interviews past. None of this feels repetitive in a negative way; it feels like hanging with an old buddy you don’t see all that often, but with whom the banter never skips a beat. I feel the same way when I go to Swiftsure in Victoria (story on page 44). When I walk up to the Inner Harbour and see the glorious mess of racing sailboats tied in front of the Empress for the first time each year, it’s like walking up to a childhood friend’s house and having that person greet you with a long-overdue embrace. You ask, “Why don’t we do this more often?” The racing is always brilliant - it was particularly great this year - but the whole scene gives me that heady feeling. From the early coffee run to the predictable infinity-person line for the head in the morning (and the resulting froggy-throated jokes about it from those waiting); from those pre-race butterflies I’ve always had at Swiftsure when the boats parade out of the harbor to the never-fail reward of hot soup delivered by the friendliest folks after you finish... these traditions may seem frivolous, but it’s all part of what makes the experience memorable. And shared memories are a foundation of friendship. Later this month, many of us will visit our old pal Whidbey Island Race Week (WIRW). Adult Summer Camp has long been a part of WIRW’s brand, and anyone who knows actual summer camp knows how eerily accurate that association is. Summer camp creates a little universe where you forget that anything else exists other people, responsibilities, any constructed version of yourself you don’t wish to be. When I step from the boat to the dock in Oak Harbor, I’m stepping into that little universe. Before racing has even begun, I know the turns of the dock, I know the smell of the muck at low tide, and I know the band will be rocking in the rum tent. And who hasn’t felt the rest of the world blur to obscurity (that might be partly the rum) as they give into life at WIRW - it’s like jobs and obligations and hygiene just fade into the distance. Summer camp is also about coming of age, and Whidbey Island Race Week has facilitated that for many of us, as sailors and otherwise. I am a summer camp kid to my core, and I have startlingly similar nostalgic sentiments when I am back in northern Minnesota, walking the lakeside paths between the pines that I could still navigate blindfolded. Heading to Whidbey in July is, metaphorically and literally, that summer vacation to visit those fun family friends who live the island life, and it is always a great time. Sailors are driven by discovery, to find out what’s beyond that horizon or in that little gunkhole or what that new race course would be like. I’m not taking anything away from that motivation, but I think it’s good to indulge in that intoxicatingly intimate familiarity we feel for the events we love. Those old friends, both events and people, have shaped us as sailors. Drink it in, and enjoy. I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline Editor, 48° North 6

The MacGregor Yacht Club BC is having a fabulous year. We started the year with two milestones - our 25th Anniversary and our 75th member. Since then, our sailors have been out on the water having fun together! I wanted to share the story of a recent member cruise to Howe Sound. The weather forecast made members wonder if they should venture out on the water or stay home. In spite of this, eleven Macs showed up, one member came on their Hunter 27, and three members even walked-on the ferry to attend. Our shared knowledge program was a highlight in the tower of the Union Steamship Marina, and topics discussed were whipping, knots, and simplifying your fishing tackle box for sailing. We enjoyed a potluck dinner, wine and cheese, and “boat hops” allowing members to share stories and modifications they’ve done to their boats. Three boats, Gemini, Impulse, and Saynomore shoved off to explore the dreaded and howling Howe Sound. Leaving snug cover, we sailed for Gambier Island. We explored Halkett Bay and East Bay, and finally settling on Center Bay at Sunrise cove, we rafted-up for the evening. We spent a long time trying to establish depths for anchoring. The next morning after a good sleep, we headed out to explore West Bay, then, much of our surprise, found Thornbrough Channel with wind to sail! We made our way to Christie Cove just around from Plowden Bay and Port Melon. What a cute cove! It’s protected from wind, but during the raft-up we were rockin’ and rollin’ with the tide change. We enjoyed kayaking to the falls just north of the cove in our new inflatable tandem kayak. Anchors lifted, motor on, we explored the coast line, seeking new anchorages. As we cleared the Defense Islands, we came to Zorro Bay. What a find! We decided to come back to it, as the day was young and we had set our sights on Squamish. By the time we entered the Squamish Bay, the winds were up, and following the chart plotter and my sail plan notes, it was hard to figure out the entrance from a distance, since all I could see was a line of log booms. As we got closer, we found our way in. Just a note to stay north of the entry... I hit mud! We explored the local Howe Sound Brewery, then walked about the town, picked up some provisions, and made our way back to our vessels. On our final day, we decided to explore the opposite coast line up to Britannia Beach, then to Porto Cove Provincial Park. With wind blowing we set sail across to Anvil Island. After rounding the Island, we headed back to beautiful Zorro Bay. We explored the beach, the trails, and found that the beautiful little house on top of the hill was sadly trashed inside. We slept like babies in the calm of the bay. Happy Sailing! Steven St-Amour S/V SAYNOMORE MYCBC, Honorable Past Commodore

Dear 48° North, In the early spring of 1983, I heard that if a service man wrote to the Admiral of the North-East US Coast Guard District and asked for an invitation to be aboard his cutter to watch the forthcoming America’s Cup yacht race, there was a good chance he’d receive one. So, I wrote and asked… for six invitations... Three Air Force officers - George McKnight, Ron Tire, and myself - and our wives. Shortly after, a package arrived in the mail which contained six, gold plate embossed, formal invitation cards. It also contained an apologetic letter explaining the only invitations left were for the seventh race. The America’s Cup is a ‘best of seven’ event contest. The letter continued…it had never gone to seven events before the series was won by the New York Yacht Club. We were a bit disappointed, but got over it, greatly appreciating the courtesy of the USCG. Several weeks later, I was on the way back from a business trip to Florida, and was changing planes in Atlanta when the public-address system was calling my name. I checked with the announcer and was told, “Call home immediately.” Whoops! Some sort of panic? As instructed, I called and my wife said, “The Cup is going to the seventh race…it’s on tomorrow. I have booked you a flight from Atlanta to Newport, Rhode Island. I have the invitations!” I was gobsmacked. Newport was crowded with what seemed like a million visitors. Sleeping accommodations was terrible, we had to bed down with about six others on a motel room floor. The next morning at 9:00am, we found ourselves on the jetty waiting to board the Admiral’s cutter. We boarded www.48North.com

Letters along with Senators, Congressmen and other dignitaries. As we boarded, our names were announced out loud just like theirs. Once aboard we mingled with everyone else. There’s no booze on American government ships, but there were copious quantities of hot chocolate and doughnuts. At about 11:00am, the cutter pulled away from the quay and made its way to the race site. We heard the starting gun and the two 12 meter yachts, Liberty, defending for the USA, and Australia II, challenging for Oz, crossed the start line. The Admiral’s cutter is the only vessel allowed to follow the racing boats so we had a wonderful, exciting, close -up view of the action. It was ‘nip and tuck’ I can tell you. But on the last leg of the heat, Australia II pulled into the lead and clinched the series 4 - 3 for the Aussies. It was the first time anyone other than America had won the cup for the last 132 years. The audience on the cutter fell silent with dismay. Then, out of the blue, four guys dressed as Maori warriors appeared on deck from nowhere and began singing and dancing to the tune of Waltzing Matilde. Chatter and levity quickly returned to all aboard the cutter. During the lead-up to the race it was rumoured that Australia II had some sort of appendage attached to her keel. All was revealed when she was lifted out of the water when the event was over and her aerofoil shaped bob weight was revealed. Now, remember that one of my Air Force colleagues was Ron Tire. Ron was an Air Force engineering officer (and keen racing yachtsman). He had been working at Cape Canaveral at the time, presumably with access to their computers and wind tunnels etc. He envisioned that a suitably designed weight attached to the keel of a sailing yacht would make her more efficient. With the upcoming cup challenge in mind he presented his ideas, with professional technical drawings and supporting calculations, to the New York Yacht Club. Weeks later his submission package was returned to him with a terse, sarcastic, thanks-but-no-thanks letter, which pointed out that ‘there was nothing he could tell the NYYC about winning the Americas Cup as they had been undefeated for the last 132 years’. Ron showed me his submission package and the NYYC’s reply. I can’t help but feel the results of the 1983 challenge might have been different if Ron’s suggestions had been followed. All the Best Eric Mold Vancouver, BC Sounds like quite an experience, Eric. Thanks for sharing your story. I often think about the fact that the development of sailing technology has an impossibly long arc, as many as 40,000 years or more, and that good ideas tend to crop up more than once before they become commonplace. Sounds like that could be true for your friend Ron Tire.

The word Antarctica is from the Greek word antarktikos, the antipode, or opposite, of the Arctic. To differentiate the Arctic from the Antarctic, simply designate them up and down. The Arctic is above Canada in the far north, while Antarctica is in the far south, below South America. It was only in 2000 that the ocean around Antarctica was officially designated the Southern Ocean. It was previously known as the Antarctic Ocean. The sun sets over Antarctica for more than six months during winter, but in its brief summer there are more hours of sunshine than most equatorial countries receive in an entire year. October through January is the austral summer in Antarctica, and the sun shines 24 hours a day. The only river in Antarctica is the Onyx River, which only flows for about 60 days in summer.

Maritime Trivia by B ryan H enry

The world’s largest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, is the only ocean current that flows through all three major oceans: Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific, the Arctic Ocean not considered major as it’s the smallest ocean. The Arctic is the only ocean almost entirely surrounded by continents. The Antarctic is a continent entirely surrounded by oceans. At fewer than two inches a year, Antarctica averages less rain than the Sahara Desert, and in fact it, not the Sahara, is the world’s largest desert. Antarctica’s ice-free Dry Valleys, in the interior of the continent, haven’t recorded rain for more than two million years.

Lowtide It was only in 1820 when explorers first sighted Antarctica. It is believed that Nathaniel B. Palmer, a New England sealing captain, was the first person to sight Antarctica in November 1820, and a part of the continent’s panhandle became known as Palmer Peninsula. About 4,000 scientists live in Antarctica in summer. About 37,000 tourists visit Antarctica each year. Geothermal pools are a popular tourist stop for visitors to Antarctica’s Deception Island. Twenty countries operate year-round research stations in Antarctica. Antarctic sea ice covers about 1.5 million square miles of ocean in summer, and more than 8 million square miles in winter, a seven-fold increase in area. It becomes as large as the United States.

Product News This month, the 48° North team had the opportunity to demo a truly unique product: the EP Carry Electric Outboard Motor from Electric Paddle. We don't always do personalized product reviews, but in this case, we thought our readers would like to know more for two reasons: first, this product is designed and made in North Bend, WA, by a pair of northwest boating enthusiasts; second, weighing 21 lbs (motor and battery), this is the lightest outboard motor we've ever seen and, thus, is a great option for those who are moving a motor from their cruising boat to the ship-to-shore dinghy frequently. This is an impressive outboard in a very small package. We wanted to do an authentic (unguided) demo, so we went from outboard-in-a-box to zipping around the marina with the motor in the same afternoon. As we un-boxed, I was relieved to see that there wasn't any real assembly required. The battery even comes fully charged. We did get the instructions out, but we found that we were able to intuit what needed to happen next at about the same rate as we were able to read the instructions. I am accustomed to the “normal” order of operations for putting an outboard on a dinghy: stand outboard up, pass outboard to a helper, get into the dinghy to get balance and find stable footing, have helper hand outboard to me, lug the outboard onto its mount. With the EP Carry, holding the motor in one hand, I just stepped into the dinghy and easily secured it onto the transom board. Cutting the weight of an average outboard nearly in half makes a huge difference. We connected the battery line and thought we were ready to go. This is where we hit the one snag (that we surely would have avoided if we had just read the instructions thoroughly) - there is a magnetic safety switch that must be seated in the end of the throttle arm in order for the outboard to run, functioning as the kill switch on other outboards. It needs three seconds to disengage that safety feature. Once we figured that out, the little outboard was

operational. Of course, out of gear, there's no idling, so there's no motor noise. We tested forward and reverse at the dock and cast off the lines of our 10' rigid inflatable test dinghy. It's worth noting that many small outboards do not have reverse, and require you to spin the motor around to back out. It's nice to have an actual reverse gear - it just removes one of the ways to screw up docking. Even in gear, we all immediately noticed that the motor is quiet. It's not silent - there's the sound of spinning parts and the whirring propeller, but compared to the alternative, it's really quiet. I was impressed by the combination of 180° of rotation, and the the bottom-less RPM capacity (fuel-based outboards need to maintain a certain throttle to idle, not so for electric), and began

Lowtide experimenting with making the dinghy turn within its own length, which it easily did. As we got out into the fairway, we wanted to see what this little motor could do. I had been intrigued by the propeller design - it's a simple two bladed prop with long, narrow blades. It reminded me of some of the blades I've seen used in pedal drives for the Race to Alaska. This is in contrast to most gasoline outboard propellers, which often use triple blade propellers with wider blades. As soon as we put the EP Carry in gear, I felt all the efficiency and bite I would have hoped for. So while the propeller is different, the experience in application was as good as threeblade propellers I've used. Our whole team agreed that this little outboard's power exceeds expectations. In neutral current conditions, with two adults and a child in the dinghy, we made 3.9 knots of boat speed at full throttle. Battery usage is an understandable concern for anyone using electric propulsion. The 24v battery, which is also lighter weight than you'd expect, will run at full power for 1 hour, or 2 hours at half throttle. I would guess that cruisers who anchor most nights might invest in a second battery, so that you can have a backup that's always fully charged. But an hour at 3.5+ knots will get you from your boat to shore and back in anchorages in the northwest. The manual indicates that a full charge will take fewer than five hours and there are options for AC or DC charging. Our whole team took turns driving the EP Carry, including Scott's fouryear-old son, Kai. Everyone found it easy and fun to use. Considering its simple functionality, small package, and light weight, the EP Carry immediately enters the conversation as a top option for a ship-to-shore outboard. We’re not the only ones who think so. The EP Carry won awards as one of Boating Industry Magazine's Top Products for 2018, as well as the Innovation Award at the Miami International Boat Show. The fact that it is designed and built just outside of Seattle by fellow boaters, well that's just by Joe Cline gravy. 23

Photo courtesy of Jan Anderson. Racing sailboats is fun. Handicapping racing sailboats is not always fun. A few years ago, I wrote an article for 48° North entitled, “The Challenge in Handicapping Sailboats in the Big Boat Fleet.” In the introductory portion of that article I said: “In sailboat racing’s purist form, one design, it’s pretty obvious who wins and who comes in second, third, fourth, Comparisons etc. It’s…more difficult when the boats racing each other are all different. Size, design, displacement, draft, sail area, configuration and many other factors all account for differences in boat speed and pointing ability, which means that racing different boats is inherently unfair. That’s where handicapping comes in. Wouldn’t it be great if handicapping sailboats was an exact science?” Over the years, various measurement-based handicapping systems (CCA, MORC, IOR, IMS, ORR, IRC, and most recently ORC) have been developed in an effort to make handicapping a more exact science. The goal of each of these systems has been to be able to accurately evaluate the potential performance of a boat based on a quantifiable set of design parameters. The principal alternative to pure measurement-based handicapping systems is offered by PHRF. Although PHRF does use a number of measurement-based parameters in developing a boat’s rating, there is also the aspect of observed performance of hundreds of similar boats from across the country that is taken into account. Each of these systems involves a compromise. Pure measurement-based systems are subject to the inherent flaw introduced by the inflexibility of 24

variation is there between PHRF ratings in the Pacific Northwest compared to those throughout the country? And, how much variation is there between the PHRF-NW Ratings and those developed by the ORC measurement rule. How Do Local PHRF Ratings Compare to Those Around the Country? US Sailing of Handicapping Systems in Sailboat Racing publishes an annual listing of By David Lynch boat ratings from the measurement rule. History is rife all the various local PHRF organizations with the demise of such rating systems throughout the United States. In 2017, accordingly, as sailors and designers they included National Reference have devised ways to improve Ratings for the PHRF handicaps of 150 performance that are not measured by popular standard class boats with base ratings ranging from 291 to -15.

Conversely, in the PHRF system nine of the boats in this list sail in the of handicapping, many view Pacific Northwest and have current inclusion of the subjective information PHRF-NW handicaps.

Others see it as a strength. listings and those of PHRF-NW is It has certainly been the subject of shown in Figure 1. As might be expected, there are heated discussions in many different some differences between individual venues over the years. Complicating things further, there is the challenge that PHRF ratings are issued by individual PHRF handicapping authorities in local regions around the United States and Canada (PHRF-NW, for example), thereby leading to the possibility of significant differences for a given boats rating in one locale compared to another. Measurementbased systems are not subject to this issue. In this article, I seek to offer information in Figure 1: Comparison between PHRF-NW and response to these two US Sailing National Reference Ratings. questions: How much

boats contained in the two databases. However, it is clear that there is an extremely good correlation between the ratings of boats published in US Sailing’s National Reference listing and those same boats currently sailing in the PNW. As an indication of how good the relationship is, a statistical regression analysis was performed and yielded a very high value (R2 = 0.9849). The conclusion: PHRF-NW ratings are very much in line with handicaps assigned to boats throughout the US. How do PHRF-NW ratings compare to the ORC measurement-based ratings? In order to compare ratings between these systems, it is important to understand how the ratings are reported and how they are used. PHRF-NW ratings are presented as a single number and it is the difference between the ratings of boats that are used to determine “Corrected Elapsed Times” for boats in a race. As an example, the PHRF rating of a J/35 is 72 and that of a Beneteau 36.7 is 81. The difference between these two numbers is used to calculate the time difference

(9sec/nm) it takes for the two boats to sail a 1nm course. This is known as a Time on Distance (ToD) handicap. IRC and ORC ratings are listed in two different manners: Time on Time (ToT) and Time on Distance (ToD). The relative value of ToT vs ToD is a subject for another time, but it is important to note that an ORC handicap may be used for either ToD or ToT. This makes a comparison between the ORC ToD ratings a fair comparison for PHRF ratings. The ToD numbers on an ORC certificate are presented as the number of seconds predicted for a boat to sail a 1nm course. For example, for the year 2017 the ORC-listed General Purpose Handicaps (GPH) for the J/122 Joy Ride and the J/160 Jam are 575.2 and 540.3, respectively. The difference between the two GPH (34.9sec/nm) is therefore functionally equivalent to the difference in PHRF ratings between boats. Based on the understanding that what is important in handicap ratings does not lay in the number itself, but rather the difference in ratings between

boats, it is possible to convert GPH ratings to their PHRF-NW equivalent by calculating the difference in GPH for any given boat to a “Reference Boat.” For example, the differences in GPH for the TP52 Glory (450.7) and the Bieker 42 Dark Star (499.6) to the GPH of the J/160 Jam (540.3) results in potential PHRF ratings of -89.6 for Glory and -40.7 for Dark Star. Since PHRF-NW ratings are given in increments of three, the PHRF ratings for these two boats get rounded to -90 and -42, which agree quite well with their current PHRF-NW ratings of -90 and -39, respectively. Using this approach, PHRF-NW handicaps from 34 boats that have both ORC certificates and PHRF-NW ratings have been compared either directly to the GPH for those boats, or to the PHRF-equivalent rating after conversion using the process as described above and are presented in graphic form in Figure 2 (page 26). Converting GPH numbers to their PHRF equivalent (blue line) is, of course, a perfectly straight line with the only variations from that line resulting from the rounding to the PHRF practice

to a boat’s handicap based on “real world” information; that it is not locked into the result from a particular formula. Rating changes (which may be the result of an appeal or an adjustment to a new or custom design’s initial rating) are producing ratings that remain statistically consistent with handicaps under ORC. Another issue that can be compared Figure 2: Comparison of ORC (GPH) and PHRF-NW Ratings is the extent to which boats perform better of rounding handicaps to a multiple of or worse based on the course (i.e., windward/leeward vs distance/ 3 seconds/mile. The important result is the offshore races.) IRC and ORC comparison of the GPH ratings with handicapping systems address this the current PHRF-NW ratings for those issue by calculating performance boats (red line). Two features stand estimates based on potential course out. First, the two lines are exactly (windward/leeward or distance/ parallel, indicating that the PHRF-NW offshore), and also on wind strength ratings for boats over a broad range of (discussed below). A comparison of PHRF-NW and handicaps (from 150 to -100) are, for the most part, consistent with their ORC handicaps on both Windward/ respective GPH ratings. Second, while Leeward (W/L) and Offshore courses not all the PHRF-NW data points lie using the same approach as described directly on the calculated line, the above are presented in Figures 3 and 4. correlation to between actual ratings The results of these figures demonstrate and those coverted from GPH is still that, in both cases, the ratings have little very high (this is reflected in the R2 variation. This means that, regardless of the race course or the handicapping value of 0.9795). The importance of this second systems utilized, results are likely to be feature relates to that potentially the same. The other important variable to contentious element in the PHRF system: that adjustments can be made consider is that some boats perform

better or worse in different conditions. Some perform well in light airs, but less well when the breeze pipes up. The reverse is also true, especially when comparing displacement boats with boats capable of planing in stronger breezes. One of the weaknesses of the PHRF system of handicapping is that it assigns only a single handicap rating that is applied in all conditions. ORC and IRC have wind-strength handicap for light, moderate, or heavy air that attempt to address these variations. Analyzing variation between the wind bands is the most difficult comparison of any. Although I have not included the results of those comparisons in this article, they have still shown surprisingly close correlations. With wind-strength handicaps, there’s also real-life application difficulty born of determining which wind-strength the race committee should use in calculating the results of a race, espcecially when conditions change on the race course. Whereas the potential to adjust ratings based on real-world experience may be the greatest strength of PHRF while producing its greatest critics; the wind-strength handicap may represent the same for ORC and IRC. In conclusion, I think it’s fair to say that none of the current handicapping systems are perfect. PHRF and ORC represent different approaches to develop handicaps to promote fun and fair sailbaot racing. By-andlarge both PHRF and ORC systems yield handicaps that are reasonably consistent with each other. Every competitor is entitled to his or her opinions about which handicap is most fair, or gives him or her the greatest competitive advantage. Let’s not let disputes over which handicapping system is the best get in the way of getting out and enjoying our sport. At the end of the day, isn’t it all about going sailing and enjoying a good time with our friends, our crewmates, and our competitors?

Figures 3 and 4: Comparisons between the ORC Windward/Leeward handicaps (left) and Offshore handicpap (right), versus the PHRF-NW ratings. There is more variation than in the GHP, but both have R2 value above .985. In other words, they’re very closely correlated. 26

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

We’re all connected to nature, connected to the web of life. Sure, we all know that, but can you explain it to your mates? Here’s a story you can use. There are many types of small foraging fish in the Salish Sea, surf smelt, herring, sand lance, candlefish, and others. All swim together (or “school”) for safety, and they all eat microscopic animals floating in the water. In turn, they are THE critical food source for many bigger critters - eagles, seabirds, seals, salmon and whales - to name just a few. In the summer, I often see gulls frantically diving on large clusters forage fish, so add gulls to the list. If the forage fish were to disappear, so would all the rest – and that appears to be what’s happening around here – for lots of reasons. To explain a bit more, take surf smelt. Most spawn on beaches at high tide where they lay eggs on sand or gravel. The eggs can tolerate occasional drying, and so smelt eggs are usually higher up on the beach. Sand lance and herring are lower and never exposed to air.

As you sail along, glance at the shoreline you’re passing. Are there human-placed boulders? Concrete walls? Old creosote-laden pilings or berms? All these are death to surf smelt because there isn’t sufficient beach for spawning. If there is some room below the barriers, imagine what will happen when climate change raises sea level a bit more. Forage fish occupy every marine and estuarine habitat in the Salish Sea – at least the ones unaltered by us. Some forage fish spawn out in open water, but most create their next generation right on our beaches. Surf smelt eggs have been documented on 275 miles of Puget Sound shorelines, about 10% of the total. I’m a painter of nature, and in the past two years, I’ve created outdoor exhibits for 12 locations that are making positive changes in shoreline restoration. Changes are helping these small fish, but will it be enough to save salmon and orcas?

Thetis

and

Penelekut:

twin gems of the Salish Sea By Catherine Dook The view from Thetis Island Marina.

hetis and Penelekut (formerly called Kuper) Islands, close to Nanaimo off Vancouver Island, nearly touch each other by the fingertips. Once twins, they are now only cousins: Thetis is named for the 36-gun English frigate captained by Augustus Kuper, and quickly became colonized. On the other hand, the Penelekut Islanders, First Nations all, took back their thousandsyear-old name and remain almost as traditional today as they have been for millennia. There is good anchoring close by both islands. Nestled into Thetis Island is Telegraph Harbour, with its long easy inlet and two modern marinas. The facilities are resplendent with docks and diesel, ice for your margaritas, fresh fruit, milkshakes and wireless internet. There is a pub, a restaurant, and a couple of picnic areas. Thetis is a charming island with the outer rim set up for visitors. Alongside the inlet, on your port side as you enter the harbour, there is good mud holding in ten feet of water. You must not anchor on the starboard side because float planes land there. Telegraph Harbour is open to the southeast, but Penelekut Island curves around the entrance and offers some protection. As you progress up the inlet, on your starboard side just short of Telegraph Harbour Marina, you will see ‘The Cut’, where the islands nearly touch. The Cut is a narrow opening between the two islands, navigable only by small boat, and only at high tide. 28

Beyond is the Penelekut Island anchorage, called Clam Bay. There is an anchorage there, but be sure to enter from the east keeping the red buoy to the right. It may not look like much of a buoy (years ago it was a Scotsman fender tied to a rope), but it marks something extremely nasty called Centre Reef. Just beyond Centre Reef, further to the west, is something equally nasty called Rocket Shoal. There is good mud holding in 25 feet of water near the shore: this anchorage, unlike most in the Gulf Islands, is protected from the southeast and is therefore worth knowing about. Once anchored, you are private, and you are expected to respect the privacy of the First Nations of the Penelekut Band. Who are the people who live here? There were two villages on the Island, Lamalcha and Penelekut. The Elders say in the time of the ancient stories, when the world was only earth and water, Xeel’s the Changer came to make lakes and rivers and plants and animals. He dropped some men and women from the sky, but on the beach of Penelekut Island, the sun warmed two driftwood cedar logs. The bark cracked. The first man emerged from one of the logs and then the first woman rose up from the sand between them. Those whose ancestors came from the earth of Penelekut Island belong there, and they claim it as their own. In the old days, the villagers of the island, connected by kinship, marriage, July 2018

years of tradition and mutual respect, controlled land and resources from the north end of Saltspring to Galiano Island; as well as the sea lion hunt at Polier Pass (which they shared with another group). Every year they pulled their canoes across Georgia Strait to fish for salmon off the Fraser Delta. Powerful and traditional people, these were the Hul’qumi’num-speaking First Nations. The history of the Penelekut becomes fraught with the arrival of European colonists. Imagine the dismay of the Penelekut upon the attempted expropriation of their ancestral lands by European colonists. It got ugly. The Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), established in Victoria in the 1840s, was tasked by her majesty Queen Victoria to, “extinguish aboriginal land title.” This was easy, because the Europeans decided that any land that was not planted with crops and had no building on it was waste land and available to give away to cattle-raising and crop-planting colonists. Though First Nations’ ownership of harvesting rights on land and water were strictly regulated and had been for 5,000 years, the Europeans considered anything that wasn’t farming an idle occupation that did not denote ownership. Harvesting fish and game, picking berries and gathering shellfish, hunting sea lions and snaring birds did not count. In the 1850s, when American and European colonists moved onto Saltspring Island, the Penelekut

people were understandably unhappy. Sometimes without meaning to, the interlopers offered insult or violation of custom, but at the heart of the matter lay the uncomfortable fact that these newcomers were occupying disputed territory, in this case without offering any compensation. Amor de Cosmos, the Canadian editor of the British Colonist, perpetuated racism against the First Nations, calling them ‘Red Vagrants’ and decrying as a coward anyone who let fear of them keep ‘industrious settlers’ off land he described as ‘unoccupied.’ De Cosmos is justly memorialized by only one obscure side-road off the TransCanada Highway on the north end of Vancouver Island. Disaffected warriors determined to fight back gathered at the 200-person Lamalcha village on Penelekut Island. When the men shot to defend what they thought was theirs, the situation deteriorated into a war between Penelekut Island warriors and the colonists. The Europeans did not win with gunboats and soldiers. They flogged three teenagers and four men until

Solar Power:

Set-up for Sun By Alex and Jack Wilken

Solar panels have come a long way recently, and, if properly used, can help take you a long way from shore power with cheap, renewable power. In this article, we will go over considerations of which and how many panels to get and how and where to install them for maximum effect. The first question is typically, “What panel is best?” There are a seemingly ever-expanding variety of panels: hard panels, flexible panels, panels with transparent, slip-resistant surfaces that can be walked on… We focus mainly on the panels that are most useful on boats. Which panel is best for you, as with most boat equipment, is based on what compromise best suits you. The most bang for your buck (cheapest watt output for area of panel) are the hard, rectangular panels that first come to mind when we think of solar panels (Figure 1, 2, and 3). These have some installation limitations, and are typically heavier than other types, but they also offer some favorable mounting options less suited to other panels. Flexible panels that can be attached to cloth such as biminis or dodgers are among the lightest panels, and, while they are more expensive for power output

based on area, the fact they can even be sewn onto sails greatly increases the available surfaces that can generate power. Panels that can be glued down to the deck and walked on open up even more surfaces for solar charging, though again at an increased cost. How much do solar panels cost? Well, it varies greatly, but as a starting point, let us assume the cost is based on good quality marine panels that are more resistant to micro fractures and other damage. With this in mind, rigid panels are approximately $8 a watt, and the flexible and walkable are about $10 dollars a watt. A solar panel system will need at least one charge controller, and possibly more. Charge controllers can range from $30$130. Keep in mind these are prices for quality marine equipment. If you go online, you can find cheap solar panels at $2 a watt; and you can find quality panels cheaper than $8 a watt, but they will normally be larger than would be practical for use on a boat. Where and how is it best to mount your solar panels? Placement out away from rigging and up high is best for maximum efficiency, though it doesn’t always mean maximum practicality. It’s important to avoid shadows. Our instinct is to look at any available flat

surface and say, “That looks like a good place.” But a single shadow from a shroud can cut a panel’s (and all other panels attached to the same controller) output by half. Two good places to put rigid panels are: on the outside of the lifelines on the aft quarters (Figure 1), utilizing hinges that allow them to fold horizontally for maximum charging or down against the lifelines so as not to stick out; and up high on an arch, hopefully above any rigging (Figure 2). If un-obscured sunlight isn’t readily available, look for places that will be unshaded at least some of the time. Because of this consideration, it is often better to have several small panels, each with its own controller, rather than one large one, especially in an area that may have shadows some of the time. This will, of course, be more expensive, but should yield higher charge output with partial shading. With this in mind, look for any good, flat surface you can find (Figure 3, page 32). As mentioned above, biminis, dodgers, and even the deck can be candidates with the right panels. Solar sails are a relatively new option and, while they provide great opportunity, they have their problems. Apart from price, the sail must work, and although a panel in the vertical will get power not only from direct sunlight but also from the light reflecting off the water, the same shadow issues apply, and one side of the sail will always be away from the sun. Further, the flexible panels are delicate and need to be treated carefully. The panels on a solar sail are not likely to last as long as those mounted on a more solid surface. In spite of those concerns, the sheer area opened up by a solar sail makes it an intriguing option for a boat that will have its sails up for extended periods, such as crossings. Perhaps a ketch or yawl could consider a solar mizzen sail and leave it up at anchor to not only charge but keep the bow into the wind and stabilize the boat. One might think that the total number of panels would be more important than it is; but on a sailboat, the lack of space and concerns about shadows limit on the number of fully efficient panels. Thus, we prefer to make choices about the number of panels only after looking at the installation options.

All panels are rated in watts of peak output. Peak output conditions in the Pacific Northwest would be a clear and sunny summer day, during which you can generally figure 4 hours at max output. If we have a 140 watt panel (which will be about 20” by 60”, if it is of the quality discussed above) mounted so it has no shadows, you can estimate generation of 560 watts on a sunny summer day. That is 46.6667 amps at 12 volts, or just about enough to cover a 1.94444 amp draw over 24 hours at 12 volts. In other words, this may be just enough to cover a refrigerator, depending on the size and efficiency of the refrigerator and how much it is opened. That calculation leads to the knowledge that to fully answer the question about how much solar power you want, you need to know how much power you are using each day. Then, you need to consider what kind of batteries you have and how they want to be charged. Most lead acid batteries want to be filled all the way during each charge. To go all solar with lead acid batteries (almost all of which

If

your batteries have no “memory,” such as Lithium or Firefly AGM, then you only need enough charge to keep ahead of the daily load. Due to the internal resistance of the battery, the required

Once you know how much power you want from solar, you can start figuring out were to put each panel and how much you can expect from it. It should be noted that, even if you can’t get all the charging from solar, any little bit helps. We put six, cheap nonmarine solar panels on a boat (Figure 3) 10 years ago and immediately cut the daily generator run time from 2 to 1 hours a day, and the AGM batteries on that boat are now 14 years old. How to mount solar panels varies by the type and location. Flexible and walkable panels specify how they need to be mounted depending on their exact construction. Typically, flexible ones need to be sewn on to canvas. Walkable panels often have screw holes and should be bedded down like any other hardware. Rigid panels can be secured

in a variety of ways with different hardware depending on the location and desired mobility. If mounted on an arch, thru-bolting is probably best (Figure 2). For mounting on the aft quarter so they can fold down against the lifelines, you want them to hinge at the top (Figure 1) with some way of securing them up and down. For mounting on hard pilothouses or solid biminis, you could use hinges so as to be able to lift them to get underneath or bolt them down like on an arch. Keep in mind that a large, flat panel can catch a lot of wind, so make sure it is secure. Having said that, in the example of the cheap, non-marine type mentioned above, we just tied them down and they haven’t moved in ten years (Figure 3). Mounting the panel itself is only half the battle; the wiring deserves at least as much thoughtful planning.

Figure 4: “A” Plugs for solar panels out of the weather. “B” Wires running from each panel. 32

Running wires a long way over the deck is not desirable, so when planning panel placement, pay as much attention to this as any other consideration. Waterproof (or even gas-proof) thrudeck wire fittings are best in most situations directly exposed to weather. In one particular installation (Figure 4), we were able to use plugs for each panel that are mounted out of the wind and spray. As we mentioned above, if one panel has a shadow over it, all panels connected to the same controller lose efficiency. Also, solar panels can actually drain the batteries if left connected at night. Some controllers disconnect them automatically; otherwise, you want to have a switch to disconnect the panels when they won’t be charging. It would seem that solar panels have advanced to the point that we should be able to cover enough surfaces to generate enough power for all but the most power-hungry among us, at least if money is no object. And with a little careful planning and perhaps looking at being a little more efficient in power usage, most boats could get the majority (if not all) of their charging from solar while at anchor. It is an investment perhaps, but one with extra dividends: not just fuel or eliminating the need for a noisy generator (running the engine to charge is truly inefficient), but batteries last longer if they don’t discharge so deeply. Today, there are many boats that utilize only solar for their charging, and this is only going to increase. Consider our electric propulsion demo boat. At anchor in the San Juans, we needed to run its 7kw DC generator for an hour and a half every 5-10 days. This was the only source of charging to replenish a very large battery bank with no memory when we were away from the dock. One 140 watt panel would probably have kept pace with the house loads, and two would have filled the drive bank in 10 days if it had been run down. We predict that there will be bigger and bigger banks of batteries to charge, and given enough time, solar can produce vast amounts of power and keep pace.

traits I’d say that makes him such an accomplished sailor. He did comment on the first week’s challenge of not being able to find anything on the boat. With so many people helping to load and stow, stuff surged on and off the boat in waves. He might be able to remember the last place he saw the voltmeter two days ago, but he couldn’t find it now. Talia also felt the full effect of the journey as she waved goodbye to her friends on the docks of Port Townsend. That moment, she said, encompassed the excitement of a new beginning, as well as the end of all the arduous planning and preparations. It was hard, though, to leave behind a life she relished and friends she loved. That love and support was palpable, though, as they ran down the dock, following DogBark! out the breakwater, bouncing and shouting their goodbyes. Janna reflected on the year of preparations with equal parts joy and anxiety. She was haunted by reservations about taking her family to the arctic, and she struggled to balance the work and preparations with maintaining a somewhat normal

schedule in the months leading up to the departure. But buttressing that struggle was her incredible community of friends and family that picked the kids up from gymnastics, lent trucks for dump runs, and provided a sounding board when decision fatigue set in and there were still a thousand decisions to make. It added to the excitement for Janna that in the last days, there was a series of serendipitous events that allowed her and the family to say goodbye – and thanks – to their community progressively and organically. Savai agreed it was difficult to say goodbye to friends for such a long time. She also struggled with the transition from her room at home to a tiny bunk that she will share with her sister (while there is crew on board). It has been particularly challenging as the sisters, like the rest of the family, attempt to organize their belongings on board while adjusting to life at sea. But her most exciting moment was watching the transformation of her room from a nonexistent space (it was a water ballast tank) to a messy construction zone and finally to a cozy bedroom

complete with unicorn photos on the walls. It was easy for her to get excited about the journey when she had a cozy place to sleep. For both John and I, it was a challenge to jump into the fray with two weeks left to prepare. We wanted to be as valuable as possible, but it was difficult to feel useful and not underfoot of those that had been living it for months. Trip preparations soaked up our energy every day, leaving little time to visit with friends we hadn’t seen in a year. John’s excitement for the trip kicked in as we landed in Seattle and suddenly all of the virtual planning and email exchanges, late night facetime calls and online research became a reality. I am savoring the excitement of being able to undertake a voyage so grand with some of my very favorite people. This family inspires me in so many ways; I am honored and thrilled to be a part of this harebrained adventure.

48°N: Why Pac Cup instead of Vic Maui? Alex Simanis (AS): There are more boats to race against that are similar to us. And, starting from the Bay is a more pleasant route. Actually, it’s not the start so much as the finish. Kaneohe Bay is the best place to finish, in my opinion. Skyler Palmer (SP): I’m looking forward to skipping the Washington and Oregon Coast, though. AS: There is that, but I’d rather have gnarly sailing than light air. Ending in Kaneohe Bay, you get a place to tie your boat up, there’s a great yacht club with food and Mai Tais, as well as a pool and shower. You’re off your boat for 30 seconds, and you’re immediately in the shower. Vic Maui does a great job, it’s an awesome event, but to me the end is just a bit different. Nick Bannon (NB): It’s the fun race to Hawaii! AS: There are just more small boats that do this race. I thought about doing Transpac as well, but there are a lot more big boats. We’d be sailing against maybe one other sub-40-footer.

Any other really valuable safety information or takeaways? NB: One eye-opening thing is the Safety at Sea seminar. You get to learn what the flares actually look like, how to put a fire out, and you also get to get in a raft from the water. I would say most people haven’t been in the water in their foulies and life jacket, let alone get into a life raft. SP: Which is exceedingly difficult, even in a pool.

Poke and Destroy’s Pac Cup Prep

There’s an extensive safety checklist that includes quite a bit of required equipment. Did the boat have much of what you needed, and if not, how have you built toward the full complement of safety gear? Elishia Van Luven (EVL): A lot of it has been required for other races we’ve done locally - to compete in Swiftsure and Southern Straits. Then, there are a few more requirements, which we started chipping away at. A lot of what we had to get done was for systems, like water storage. SP: We have also gotten a lot of help from our friends, and have been able to borrow a lot of the big ticket items, like the life raft and satellite phone. NB: We also put in a head, which was not a Pac Cup requirement, but it had to get done. EVL: That was my requirement! We have to have two buckets anyway, but specifically I said that if I was going to cross an ocean with three guys, a real head was going to be required. These guys are pretty excited about just going off the stern. 36

SP: And as fast! AS: When you’re the master of the vessel you lose sleep at night thinking about all the situations that might come up. The races I’ve done with Skyler and Nick, we were very involved with the boat prep as well, but you’re just doing your part not stressing out about everything. It’s been really valuable to have people on the team that can actually work on the boat. For anyone that’s thinking about doing this, having good help so that the owner doesn’t have to do it all is pretty huge. It takes a lot of stress off. Do you guys have a plan for your watches? AS: I think we’ll do some kind of rotating system. I’m a believer in not having a full watch change. We’ll figure out how to have a new person come on every half-watch. There’s always this time when you come up on watch where there’s a knowledge transfer, and I think that’s slow. You put someone new on the helm who hasn’t been driving at night and they’re off the pace and they’re sailing wrong for a while. The other advantage is that you

don’t hear the same stories all the time. EVL: I want you to still like me at the end of this thing! Who wants to spend twelve days talking only to one person? Will you all drive at night? You hear offshore racers talk about “night drivers”? AS: I think we’re going to have to with only four people. Three of us have done this race before. Elishia hasn’t, but I think after a couple of nights go by, she’ll be quickly up to speed. What are your expectations, what are you looking forward to, and what is the perfect weather set-up for you guys and your boat? SP: I think Alex and I both think that the more technical the course is, the more we enjoy it. If it’s a straightshot, rhumb-line type of race, we’re prepared for that; but I think it’s nice to have passing lanes and to have to make a few decisions. If the Pacifc High were slightly on the south side, that might be a little more challenging. I don’t know that it would help us or not, but we might like it nonetheless. AS: We’ve always seemed to have done well in races where we have to

www.48North.com

July 2018

make decisions. It’s more fun for me if it becomes a navigator’s race. SP: One of our strengths is longterm focus. It’s not to the point of being overly competitive, but we are good at not losing the plot. NB: And dealing with adversity. What are your secrets to accomplishing this? SP: One thing is just enjoying who you are with. Crew issues are a huge momentum killer. The other is really just enjoying sailing. If you get bored downstairs, get up and go for a sail. Can’t sleep? You might as well go sail harder! AS: I’ve never done well at being passive. Even when I didn’t know anything, I was scared of missing something. EVL: These guys excel at that level of focus and keeping their heads in the game. They’re so passionate and excited about what they’re doing, and that focus across the range of conditions is something they love doing together.

Galley Essentials with Amanda Our return to the Pacific NW a few years ago, saw us coastal sailing from Ketchikan to Sidney. Overall, we experienced calm conditions. However, the spectacular, clear days helped make up for the lack of wind. Plus, we saw more whales than our combined two previous Alaskan expeditions. After a mammoth nonstop 140-mile day and night passage south from Prince Rupert, we entered one of the first all-weather anchorages in many miles, in the dark. We could hear the waterfalls on either side of the narrow entrance and, when we awoke, we gazed about an amazingly beautiful tiny bay surrounded by mountains and glaciers. Our next stops included many intriguing places like Shearwater Resort, peaceful Codville Lagoon with a great swimming lake, the abandoned fishing village of Namu, and Calvert Island with its dramatic ocean beaches. From there, we wove southward around many islands and through numerous channels. Near the end of our expedition, we met up with sailing friends south of Dodd Narrows. While hiking together, they encouraged us not to miss the largest town in Canada’s Gulf Islands. What we didn’t know was that Ganges is home to the award-winning Tuesday and Saturday Salt Spring Island Market. Upon our arrival, I was eager to check it all out. So when our crew spotted the Salt Spring Coffee sign and disappeared for some mojo, I continued to the market alone. It was hard not to get caught up in the astounding array of arts and crafts, so I put my head down to quickly to bypass their colorful displays with hopes that I’d catch them later.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

Crisis:

Stories of Choices at Sea Some boaters will experience a crisis situation. All come close, repeatedly. You know, like that time during the headsail change when the halyard slipped away, and then… Oh wait, that one became a crisis. How could a loose halyard go so wrong, right? Let’s let the halyard dangle, for now, while we talk crisis. What is a crisis? We define it as a situation in which multiple concurrent problems arise, for which there are no procedural solutions. An emergency may be terribly bad, but it’s not a crisis. This difference matters. It’s a little like when you were a freshman and procrastinated writing a paper. You pulled an all-nighter and finished it just in time – stressful. Then, as a self-assured sophomore, the same thing happened except you had three papers due during a kegger; all demanded attention on the same night – stressful with very mixed outcomes. Multiples are much harder to manage.

In the Seychelles, off the east African coast, a German family was on a crewed charter catamaran. One engine failed. Then the other. Investigating, the captain found the boat taking on water. This is a serious emergency situation with many possible outcomes. The captain and mate put out a MAYDAY call on VHF, instructed the guests on abandon ship procedures, and launched the dinghy. Safely away as the cat went down, fisherman arrived soon after to deliver the rescued to shore. This happened in 2015; and knowing the outcome didn’t ease the eeriness as we sailed by this same mostly-submerged catamaran bobbing in ocean swells. In this case, a procedural solution and good management kept the situation to a single problem. We sailed into Port Villa, Vanuatu in October 2010 and, while figuring out the fairly crowded anchorage, a sailboat was towed past us. Engine

Yes, this is the sunken catamaran referenced in the article. It is scary to see it like this. However, the captain and crew were able to respond to an emergency situation procedurally, limiting the number of problems (boxing the problem) and avoiding real tragedy. 40

failure came to mind, but we learned otherwise. A guy was out sailing with his girlfriend. It was a nice day that got a little lumpy, which caused an issue with the dinghy. He went aft to sort it out - and fell overboard. Like the sinking catamaran, this is a serious emergency. The girlfriend was not a sailor and had no idea what to do. This single problem cascaded into multiple problems: 3) crew member overboard 4) crew onboard could not maneuver the boat being steered by autopilot 5) visual of victim was lost 6) boat was sailing without control towards an island The numbering sequence above is not incorrect. The boyfriend going overboard was an emergency, but problems began earlier as elevated risk: 1) towing the dinghy in the ocean in unsettled sea state. 2) not taking precautions before leaving the cockpit, especially knowing the crew was not a skilled boater. The girlfriend had a lucky break when fishermen saw the boat sailing towards a reef. They were able to get on board and alter course. She lived. Sadly, her boyfriend was never seen again. Even if the girlfriend was a skilled boater, managing a situation with crew overboard AND lumpy conditions AND a towed dinghy problem would’ve been very difficult. This was a crisis ending in tragedy. The cause was not a single dramatic event. Instead, seemingly inconsequential choices cascaded into crisis and terrible consequences. It’s easy to cast judgment on the man’s choices. Doing so is hollow. Who hasn’t left the cockpit in haste or taken a tiny shortcut in preparations? The takeaway here consists of two main points. First, multiple problems (crisis situation) divide focus and response efforts. No single problem can be resolved as effectively as if it were the ONLY problem. Secondly, most often crisis is born from a single problem, be it serious or insignificant, that grows exponentially more complex IF more problems pile on. Meaning, when that

first “thing” happens, don’t let a second thing happen! I call this “boxing the problem.” The key is understanding when risk in a situation is elevated. Sometimes it’s obvious and instantly dealing with an emergency. Often, it’s subtle and still represents elevated risk. The towed dinghy became tragedy while a sinking catamaran was a textbook rescue. This brings us back to the dangling halyard. It’s a typical day along the Malay Peninsula, light winds with a chance of volatility. The husband, in this real event, decides on a course of action after the halyard got away, all the way to the masthead. He chose to go up the mast to retrieve the halyard. Going aloft always brings elevated risk! Doing so at sea is rocketed risk. It was clear from the storyteller, his wife, that retrieving it was unnecessary – just a macho guy thing. Worse still, a squall was approaching, but he was only going up for a minute. At the masthead, it took long enough for the squall to hit. Now a single, benign problem (halyard) became a very risky situation (going aloft) and then two problems (dude up the mast and

Crisis defined: a situation in which multiple concurrent problems arise, for which there are no procedural solutions. managing the boat in a squall). Bad, right? It gets worse! While pitching around, mast and man came crashing down. Now it’s a full crisis. There is a concurrent man overboard and dismasting during a squall. The husband had to get untangled from halyard and rigging before it pulled him under while also not loosing sight of the boat in torrential conditions. At this moment we were no longer sure that the guy next to the storyteller was in fact the same macho mast climbing man in the story. Confirmation, and relief, came over a stunned group of cruisers when the storyteller’s wife looked at the guy with a big laugh, saying – you were so stupid! Husband heartily agreed. A simple, single problem devolved into a crisis situation. The outcome was lucky - not ideal considering they were

sans rig - but lucky nonetheless. Even if the first domino to fall is a big one, do what you can to prevent it from tumbling others. Box the problem. This takes assessed, reasoned response. I suspect the guy in Vanuatu never imagined that he could be one of those clumsy people that falls overboard. Long ago, on a dark, lumpy night I had to leave the cockpit to put a deeper reef in the main. I was wearing a PFD with integrated harness, tethered to Totem. Still, being a little uncomfortable with the elevated risk, I asked myself, “Is this the last time I leave the cockpit?” It was a fair question. There is a lot to crisis management at sea. A good place to start is questioning your actions before you take them. I still ask myself that question when leaving the cockpit. Remember, some boaters will experience a crisis situation. All come close... repeatedly. The Giffords will be back home in the Pacific Northwest for a couple of months beginning in July!

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.

Blake Island

lake Island was a classic Sound B race with lots of interesting and sometimes frustrating acts of nature

to test your wind reading and current comprehension skills. It was anything but your simple go-right-type of race. On Ocelot, we start with the fast boats. All these guys are really good and the trick for us is getting a clean front row start in a position on the line where we can get to the first puff/current feature before we get run over by a TP 52 train. On this start,we were able to head left toward the Shilshole breakwater and then cross back with the Locks outflow. The big guys were having great battle for lanes to windward and this gave us a clear lane to cross ahead of everyone except Crossfire, so far so good. Rounding West Point, the 52s had passed us in the short tacking, and the big guys all headed out to challenge the ebb head on with over 2 knots of wind and their bows

pointed at Bainbridge. We decided to try sneaking over the shoal and heading into Elliott Bay. This worked well and many of the boats from the fleets behind us followed us. Ace and Grace were able to find a little better wind closer to the Magnolia bluff and snuck around us to the east. The next two hours of the race were a trial as the wind stated clocking right with big 100°+ oscillations. We all switched to kites and fought our way to the Bainbridge shore against the ebb, sometimes going backwards, jibing back and forth over the same water. Eventually, the wind filled from the northeast and the race started moving again. At this point the 52s were well behind near Skiff point and the race leader, Ace, was approaching Yeomalt Point just in front of us. We were all carrying our kites as high as we could hold in hopes we could stay above the entrance to Eagle Harbor and the

bar protecting it. Once they had the northeast breeze, Smoke and Glory sailed very high spinnaker angles and quickly caught up with us. The wind clocked right a bit more, and everyone except Smoke had to switch to jibs. We duked it out with Glory trying to avoid getting run over, but with the jibs up they were able to sail over us. We finally caught Ace, who we owe a ton of time, as we re-set kites heading around Restoration Point. The wind hadn’t filled solidly, and the fleet behind us started catching us again as we bumped in to the leading edge of the pressure. In one of the back fills, Ace caught back up and we played the classic “go down,” “no, you go down,” game while we defended high. Here’s a PSA from my own little soap box- when you’re riding a back fill down to the fleet ahead, they will almost always head up to bring the puff closer and accelerate faster. Don’t expect them to sail a nice low course and wait for things to happen. Going around the bottom of Blake, we made some mistakes with the current. We didn’t recognize a nice eddy on the southeast corner close to shore and lost a bit more ground to Hamachi and Absolutely. Ace also passed us again and we had a fun jibing battle as we rounded the island against a couple knots of ebb. A couple minutes after switching to upwind mode, the wind filled across the backside of Blake Island and we settled in for quick sail back to West Point. In the middle of the Sound, we found a little wedge of old ebb we were able to play for a while. The race ended with a quick run to the finish with only a little commercial traffic to worry about. SYC brought the goods with a taco truck and plenty of beverages while we waited for all the racers to finish and the Race Committee to finish scoring. For a race we were worried might not happen, it ended up being a great event. Our lesson for the Tri Island Series this year has been that you just need to stick it out. We regret not finishing Smith Island, even after spending a couple hours anchored in adverse current. story and photo by Ben Glass results on page 52

orty-nine boats decided to take the challenge for the 2018 edition of the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s 3 Buoy Fiasco regatta. In this unique regatta, competitors start pursuit style with a start time determined by your rating. Theoretically if everyone sails to their rating everyone will finish at the same time, but that is where reality and the competition sets in. For this regatta you get to pick the direction you start, finish, and round the three marks on course. The start is off the Shilshole breakwater, and the three marks are Meadow Point, Jeff Head, and Skiff Point. Add in a 14-foot-drop ebb current and an unexpected strong northerly, and it becomes anyone’s guess what the right way to sail the course becomes. One would think most would chose to ride the current northbound on the west side of the sound, but the majority of the fleet chose a start that put that current on their nose, and a strong northerly pushing them south along Bainbridge Island. That turned out to be the favored direction.

There were even multiple sightings of orcas breaching by the Jeff Head mark. Soon, the first boats began to appear in the southwest heading for the finish line. Duke Phan’s Grayling was the first to cross the line winning their non-flying sail class and the overall for the event. The next boats were also class winners as Muffin and Teaser enjoyed a photo finish. Other class winners included Boadicea, Rock Lobster, Morphine, Shada, and Anarchy. At 1:00pm, horns were heard

across the sound as sailors paid their final respects to former STYC Commodore and club historian Carol Pearl, as her ashes were spread on the waters off of Jeff Head by a small flotilla of friends and family not racing. The committee, led by PRO Eric Finn, was on Jenn Harkness’s S/V Poop Deck. Awards for the day were presented at a STYC BBQ with wine and kegs of beer flowing. by Eric Finn results on page 53

This year it was also and bagpipes, boats wedged in tight, dedicated to Ian Farrier, of F-Boat fun bars and restaurants surrounding trimaran fame. There was a pre- the harbor, and all-around Canadian race celebration of his life after the cheer. All hail the Queen! On the skippers meeting with a maximum course, the highlights are usually capacity audience. Nearly 200 boats about the sunset and sunrise, wildlife, raced this year, from the Inshore screaming kite runs, and quality time course to Juan de Fuca (Clallam Bay) with shipmates far far away from and Flattery (Neah Bay), on up to the responsibilities on shore.

It also called for light breeze in Shadow II”, the night, and make that a “Absolutely”, “Rage”, double if you were headed and “Ha’a Koa” out past Neah Bay to the moving quickly out of Victoria Harbor. Lightship. With a nearly full moon, the tides were massive with a flood at the start, so the decision when to cross to the U.S. side was critical. Crossing early was the right call. Not the call that I made, but it was the right one! Somehow, someday, I will learn that lesson. That’s, part of the joy that is Swiftsure. Among the things that make this race special, most aren’t about racing in July 2018 www.48North.com 44

On board Freja, we were working out the kinks of crew work and watch schedules, organizing boat handling maneuvers before our planned Pac Cup race this summer. Fast is fun! And going 17 knots is worth all those hours of bashing into waves upwind and slatting sails in the ocean swells at the Bank. Just ask the young guns on board, chasing waves to hit the high score! To represent a variety of Swiftsure experiences, here are some stories from the lead boats of a few courses, Westerly in the Lightship Classic, Shearwater in the Flattery race, and Glory in the Hein Bank Race overall winner, Le Reve. A rare treat in which my race report is educational! Never say never! Shearwater (J/120): “Fantastic weather (wind + sun = smiles), the spectacle of 200 boats squished into Victoria Harbor, and a fine result. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Swiftsure aboard Shearwater. I fretted a bit overnight thinking about the race plan, but eventually settled on our version of solid logic and

a plan. Our goal was to get a clean start, stay away from Race Passage and the early, stronger flood, and head for the U.S. side to catch the big lift. Everything was going to plan off the line, we even took the stern of Bravo Zulu to keep going on starboard. 99 times out of 100 we would have tacked away in that situation. We then started getting lifted, and we were literally the second furthest boat on the outside of the lift. Some great crew conversation evaluating all of the factors ended up with us sticking to our guns and continuing on starboard across the Strait. When we made that first tack, on the U.S. shore, a full 30 miles from the start, it was all smiles aboard Shearwater as we reconnected with Firefly and Joy Ride and it was clear the rest of the fleet was well astern. The last 20 miles out to Neah Center: The schooner, “Martha,” sailing a race of her own. Bottom: “Hana Mari”, “Shadow II”, “Absolutely”, and “Blue” coming off the starting line.

“Diva”, “Different Drummer”, “Bravo Zulu, “Harwar”, “Constellation” and “Amazing Grace”, at the start.

the wind dropped below 10 knots, but the clock kept on ticking. It all boiled down to just 20 seconds back to Joy Ride after 100 miles. Yikes. Oh, and that one boat that was further outside on the lift after the start. Yeah, they ended up first overall.” Westerly (Santa Cruz 70): Swiftsure for Team Westerly served as our final racing practice before Pacific Cup this summer. As such we chose the Lightship to test ourselves and the boat and see how we stacked up against the few other Pacific Northwest boats doing Pac Cup this summer. On race day we chose to start at the pin which seemed like it was a good call other than the age-old story of the sled vs more modern designs. Sadly we sagged into the boats below and were forced to take a short tack onto port (not the game plan of a LONG starboard board to the U.S.). To backtrack slightly for those of you that don’t know the boat got a new rig this last winter which has had some testing and is proving to

Bay were tough as we didn’t have the boat speed of those around us. Riva and 65 Red Roses II slid past us just before rounding the HMCS Wolf 60. Do you think having only six smaller than average crew (three females) upwind in 20-30 had anything to do with that? Once we rounded, it was a completely new strategy. We were 5th around and close enough to the four boats ahead to correct out. That created an interesting dynamic. We would cover. From behind. Not very hard. Just play follow the leader. It was really a glorious ride back to Victoria in mostly 10-20, a light swell, and a full moon. We sweated a few bullets inside the last two miles as www.48North.com

As we tried to find our mode upwind in the building breeze with the #2 up, we were flogging the main a fair bit and managed to break one of the full battens at the inboard end. Main down, still doing 9 knots with the #2 only, but not pointing well at all. Attempt first fix, re-hoist main. Fix fails and another batten breaks in the action. Main down again this time serious fix, duct tape and cordless angle grinder come out. Okay, fix seems satisfactory, the breeze has built and we are going to be on our ear, with the #2 up, trying to get the main up and settled. Tack change to the #3 with no main up. Flop back onto starboard with the #3 up ready to hoist the main. Start hoisting, make it to the first spreader and hard stop. Check all the obvious stuff, obviously, with the rig being new there is some concern we jumped the sheave at the top. Up the spider monkey goes to the top and the sheave is okay. We then thought maybe our jib halyard was causing the block somehow. We dropped our headsail and the main went up successfully. Later on we figured that in the sail change the main halyard which was loose must have jammed between the mast wall and the halyard that the #3 went up on. From there the race was a pretty typical Swiftsure. We luckily did not spend all night out at the bank, but in doing so, sadly made it back 46

to Victoria early enough Sunday to miss out on the sleigh ride we had hoped for. Glory (TP 52): Holy cow, was that a fun Swiftsure for the Glory Team! When John Buchan and Bob Pistay (whose combined Swiftsure experience totals roughly 80 races) comment repeatedly that 2018 was the most consistent breeze (in pressure and direction) they’ve ever seen on the beat out the Strait, that’s pretty astounding! We managed to get through Race Passage ahead of the competition, and found a great mode in those consistent conditions, extending with point and speed as we continued westward. Our biggest challenge of the race came when we blew out a loaded PBO running backstay just west of Clallam Bay. Big time props to boat manager, Evan Walker, who had a spare spectra halyard spliced and rigged aloft in less than 15 minutes. It was as seaman-like a repair as I’ve ever seen, and allowed us not to maintain most of the lead we’d worked hard to gain, in spite of the gear failure. With that issue resolved, we were rewarded with a late-afternoon rounding at Neah Bay and a blissful and exciting run back to Hein Bank. We hoisted the #2 kite and never peeled, even though it got a tad unwieldy when the puffs reached the mid-20s further down the course. John doesn’t miss a beat on the helm! We made great time and enjoyed lots of planing with the crew piled in the back of the bus, topping out at 22 knots! With sunshine and breeze, a course July 2018

that lets us rip downwind when the breeze is still up, and a finish time that got us to the bar before last call, it was one for the ages. Le Reve (Oceanis 45): On board Le Reve, Mike Breivik and his crew of mostly work buddies were living The Dream this year on his new Oceanis 45. Mike is a newbie to the sport. After spending some time on a Laser and more time on power boats, he found his dream come true at the Boats Afloat Show. The rest, as they say, is history! Mike had some good coaches aboard, but mostly just hoped for a fun weekend on the water and enjoying Victoria, BC. After the start, they chose to make a beeline for the U.S. side. He claims that it was just luck! It was the right way to go, with more pressure and better angles, crossing before the flood really got going. Mike reports that the weather was much better this year, and we can all agree with that. Congratulations on first overall on your first Swiftsure Flattery Race! Once again, Swiftsure rang in the upcoming summer season in fine form. Ocean racers got to feel their sea legs, and the inshore boats and everyone in between enjoyed a long weekend in Canada. There are many more stories that can be told, and certainly the trimarans had one for the ages.

his month, forty-one Melges 24s loaded with some of the world’s great sailing talent duked it out in variable conditions outside of Victoria, BC. At stake: the Melges 24 World Championship. Teams came from around the US and Canada, as well as Australia, Great Britain, and new newlycrowned world champions on Altea, from Italy. 48° North had the chance to chat with David Brink, crew aboard the top finishing Seattle-based boat, War Canoe owned by Michael Goldfarb, who finished an impressive sixth overall. Here’s what David had to say: What an awesome week! The sailing was challenging with lots of current and shifty conditions. It wasn't much of a boat speed race, it was a tactician's regatta, but boat speed definitely helps! It was flukey - pressure on one side of the race course one leg, then it could switch. Sometimes it was because of the current. Of the five days of sailing, four were those tricky, light conditions. Finally, got a really great day on Saturday with 15-20 knots, and we were able to score three races in those conditions. It was a really well run event. Starts were quite good, the race committee did a

Melges 24 World Championships

good job avoiding general recalls, though there were some races when quite a few boats were black flagged. We had some close calls on the pin end, but we made it off the line clean each race. We were sailing out of the Inner Harbor, and all the boats were staying in a brand new marina. There was good camaraderie around the docks. It was fun to watch the battle for the Corinthian World Championship. Bob Britten, sailing with Graham Harney calling tactics and some other good Canadians, edged out Matt MacGregor's “Good Enough”, out of Seattle. We were really pleased with our result. Our tactician, Morten Henriksen,

is really great, he’s always sniffing out the next shift. We're pretty good in the light air, probably because we've had more time practicing in 10 knots and under. When it comes to "muscle sailing" we aren't quite as good; but we have a fast boat and we're hiking really hard, trying to sail as hot and fast as possible downwind. The Italians won and were really solid. They were just always there, right in front of you. They had good starts, were really consistent, and never had a shocker. They were fast. I'd say the best team won. photo by Jill Fitz Photography www.jhirschbold.com results on page 53

505 Pacific Coast Championships

ellingham Yacht Club hosted the 5O5 Pacific Coast Championships on June 15-17 on Bellingham Bay. Seven professionally run races occurred in varied conditions over the three days orchestrated by PRO John Pedlow. Thirty-two teams attended the event and the pool of talent was deep. Teams traveled down from BC and up from Oregon and California. Doug Hagan flew in from Maui and the former International Class President and current class liaison, Pip Pearson came all the way from Australia. The father-son team of James and Ethan Brown drove all the way out from Alberta to race together on Father â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day weekend. Walking around the boat park before racing it was clear that a great range of talent and ages were present, it was Center: Spectacular view of Mt Baker from Bellingham Bay. Below: Former world champion, Mike Martin, and his crew, Adam Lowry, took away the gold.

also equally clear that 5O5 sailors are united by their passion for the boat and class. Something that sets 5-oh sailors apart is their openness and congeniality. Boat setup, sail trim, and tactics are openly and enthusiastically discussed by all competitors before, during and after racing. The goal seems to be to go faster together. Indeed, the unwritten class motto would appear to be, go faster, learn more, and have as much fun as possible. The forecast for the weekend was for wind from the northwest, an unusual and often undependable wind direction for Bellingham Bay. Friday the northwesterly wind lingered in the high single digits and was shifty. In race one, abundant weeds and lulls in the middle and left were painfully experienced by those on that side. In race two, the weeds had cleared and the left seemed favored. On Saturday, the northwesterly filled in early with an unusual vigor. Four races were run in 14-18 knots, at times gusting higher. It was full-on planing conditions. Finding pressure and lifts led to big gains at the higher speeds for the top teams. The rest were content to keep their boats upright July 2018

and to go as fast as possible. There were abundant thrills and more than a few spills too. The racers returned to shore tired, sometimes bruised but always smiling. The 5O5 is pure joy to sail, whether you are in the front of the pack or at the back of the fleet. Competitor Jim Holstine and his wife, Susan, hosted a fleet party at their home on Lake Samish after racing on Saturday and it was a fantastic finish to the fabulous day of sailing. Mike Martin said it was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best regatta partyâ&#x20AC;? he had ever attended, a notable comment from someone who has attended a plethora of sailing events around the globe. On Sunday, the northwesterly filled in late, this time with its more typical and lackadaisical tendency. The RC got off only one race. Initially, there was some wiring (trapezing) upwind. However, by the end the wind shifted and faded to a whimper.

Former world champion, Mike Martin, and his crew, Adam Lowry, took away the gold. Current world champions, Mike Holt and Rob Woelfel, finished second. Former world champion and legendary 5O5 sailor, Howie Hamlin, and his crew, Jeff Nelson, were awarded third place. But by the looks on all the faces after, everyone was a winner. Thanks for Mike Poulos, regatta chair, for organizing a fantastic event and to all the BYC volunteers for making it all possible! by Paul Pihl photos by Jan Anderson results on page 53

BMW Lasqueti Island Regatta

hat a day, what a race! The morning of June 2nd saw a spectacular spinnaker start followed by an awesome, ‘pedal to the metal’ 18 mile spinnaker run to the top of Lasqueti Island in 15+ knots of breeze, followed by a beat through Sabine Channel then a great reach home. After 42 miles, most boats were back at the dock before 5:00pm, enjoying a ‘cool one’ in the warm sun. Thirty race boats from 11 B.C. yacht clubs came together to tackle one of the most challenging courses in the Vancouver Island Racing Series. With four divisions starting outside Fairwinds Marina, 150+ skippers and crew did a reverse course (clockwise) with a spinnaker start in a stiff southeast breeze, which enabled most boats to get over the top of Lasqueti Island much earlier than prior records, with an exciting ride home in steady 15 knot winds. PRPR2, a Diam 24 multihull from Comox, was the winner in Division One as well as the Overall Winner, taking home the Windsor Plywood C u p . P R P R 2 w a s s k i p p e re d b y Andrew Robinson, with First Mate brother, Stuart. Dad James Robinson was in the chase boat as PRPR2 was ‘light on crew.’ Stuart said that “it was our first time at the regatta, the event was amazing with the hospitality and the wind the way it was. PRPR2 hit 19 knots on the first leg and took only one hour to reach the Short Course Mark.“ Finishing behind PRPR2 was Mail Order Bride, a F85SR, skippered by Wayne Gorrie. 50

Other Division winners included Optical Illusion, skippered by Tim Daniel, who took Division Two. Tim Facebooked “Perfect Dash 34 conditions! We averaged 8.2 knots from the start line to the north end of the island.....Talk about hitting all our fast modes in one race.” Princessa, skippered by Simon Palmer, won Division Three. Two years running, the Division Four winner was Pyrat, skippered by Dick Duffley. Best overall performance by a Schooner Cove Yacht Club member and recipient of the Fairwinds Cup, was Shingebiss, skippered by Neal Berger. Peter Milne, this year’s Regatta Chair, commented, “Over 40 Club volunteers organized the race, served hundreds of meals, and participated in all the planning and promotion that goes into the regatta every year. It was a pleasure working with them.” Tremendous thanks go to the 40 sponsors and prize donors, particularly our Presenting Sponsor, BMW Nanaimo, and Windsor Plywood which sponsors the Windsor Plywood Cup, Thrifty Foods and UK Sails, which all contributed greatly to the success of the event. The 31st Annual BWM Lasqueti Island Regatta was organized by Schooner Cove Yacht Club, located at Fairwinds Marina, Nanoose Bay, B.C.

Round Bowen Island Race

or the third time in 12 years, Michael Clements and his Too Wicked team of Adrienne Mennell, Justin Hall, and Ken Machtley, won the PHRF Overall trophy and the Martin 242 Division in the 2018 Round Bowen Island Race, beating 127 other boats. Other Martin 242s came 2nd overall (Dirty Dog – Matt Collingwood), 5th overall (Back in Black – Phil Cragg & Reto Corfu), and 6th overall (Whippet – Craig Strand). Round Bowen this year was epic, with sone of the best wind conditions and most favorable current ever experienced, albeit possibly not quite so epic for the 100 or so boats that got caught in a massive hole at the start line for well over 30 minutes, waiting for the westerly to fill in as the flood current kept building. Too Wicked got a perfect start at the inshore end of the line, followed closely by Dirty Dog and Whippet, with Back in Black also getting a great start at the offshore end. Along with a small pack of about 10-15 other boats, they collectively broke free of the light air zone that enveloped the start line and chased the westerly zephyrs up the eastern Bowen shore as it struggled to curve around Cowan Point and make its way into Howe Sound. Swinging way wide of Cowan to stay in the strong westerly puffs seemed like a good move for some boats, but they ended up sailing much more distance due to the huge progressive starboard

tack lift, whereas other boats that stayed closer to shore playing the shifts sailed much less distance but at generally lower speeds, so it all somewhat evened out. The south side of Bowen saw a ½ knot flood current along its entire length, and quite a few boats shorttacked all the way along the cliffs to Roger Curtis, making excellent time being aided by the current. Immediately after turning the corner at Roger Curtis, the fleet found that the westerly was strong enough in Collingwood Channel to enable chutes to be flown right away on a very tight reach, and the breeze kept building, compressing, and swinging aft as the fleet moved down the Channel, with most boats passing thru the Hutt Island gap, on a dead downwind heading. Here is where the wind was at its strongest at about 10-12 knots. Amazingly, the wind stayed attached almost all the way along the north Bowen shore, and the fleet kept their chutes flying for most of the distance leading up to the dreaded Finisterre Island. From Too Wicked’s vantage point a few miles behind the lead big boats, it appeared that they walked into an extended parking lot at Finisterre, which enabled the smaller boats to compress the distance and wipe out any gains the big boats had made on the prior four legs of the race. You always know you’ll have a good race if, upon exiting the www.48North.com

July 2018

Hutt gap, you can still see an OD 48 parked at Finisterre. The strategy for dealing with Finisterre this year seemed to be to aim about 100 feet north of the Island and let the flood current and occasional wind zephyrs carry boats into the Sound, where the wind was blowing about 10-12 knots. Too Wicked had one of its fastest transitions ever at Finisterre, which was a major contributing factor in its overall performance in the race. The final beat was somewhat anticlimactic as it generally just involved short-tacking up the beach in the inflow breeze and not doing anything (stupid) that would cause precious time to be lost against the lead pack of boats. In closing, Team Too Wicked was pleasantly surprised to have won the PHRF Overall trophy again for the third time, and it was nice to share the experience with many other Martin 242 sailors who also placed well overall. We look forward to competing in the event again next year, when the conditions will almost certainly be different. We’d also like to thank Martin Marine, all the other sponsors, and the Bowen Island Yacht Club and Union Steamship Marina for their continued support of this excellent event, which is our favorite one of the whole year. by Michael Clements photos by John Culter results on page 52 51

quality yachts from swiftsureyachts.com Island Joy Tollycraft 48 1981 • $229,000

There is likely no cruising vessel that says “Pacific Northwest” more than Tollycraft Yachts and perhaps none more iconic than the Ed Monk Jr. designed Tollycraft 48. Known as the model Tolly Tollefson chose as his final cruising platform, the Tollycraft 48 is ideal for our local waters. A seakindly semi-displacement hull with long keel gives her a solid, stable ride in the myriad of conditions one may experience between Puget Sound and Alaska. Power is provided by a pair of reliable Caterpillar 3208 diesels. Two separate staterooms, large salon and galley space, flybridge and inside steering stations, aft deck and cockpit with walk-around side decks with bulwarks and tall handrails, this 48 footer lives like a larger boat while maintaining the sweet lines she’s known for. And she’s only had two owners since new in 1981 – more proof that her status as an icon is truly deserved. price reduced
