One is Good, Two is Better Nestled between this issue’s great stories of cruising to hot springs, sailing in Johnstone Strait, the history of a local marine mecca, and how a family newly-minted circumnavigators procured diesel in Brunei (where it is illegal for foreigners to do so), you’ll find an article by my friend Andrew Nelson. It is about “Bridging the Gap” between junior sailing and lifelong sailing as an adult. Be sure to read this one. It’s important. Among his excellent ideas in this article, Andrew recommends a theory of safety in numbers when inviting young people to try “big boat” sailing. In other words, he’s advocating for inviting multiple kids along so that they may have at least one peer onboard to make them feel more comfortable and confident, and with whom they will share a fun experience. This is such a smart idea, and I share his opinion that it would facilitate more enjoyment and more regular participation for most young people. It also reminded me of something I recently heard in an interview with Melinda Gates. She was reflecting on her time as an employee at Microsoft and considering the management of the Gates Foundation, specifically with an interest in helping other women succeed in the tech industry. She described some research, from Microsoft I believe, in which they learned that professional teams that included multiple women would retain those female team members far, far longer than teams with only one woman, and they reported greater happiness and productivity. While there is an ever-growing contingent of badass women involved in our sailing community and at least one Seattle yacht club is signing up more young women than young men, sailing is still an activity that sees too little gender equity when it comes to participation. Andrew’s notion of inviting multiple kids onto a keelboat could certainly apply similarly to women, and might help enhance everyone’s experience and bring sailing participation closer to a representative demographic sample. Along the same line, the theory could (and should) be applied to potential sailors of diverse ethnic or cultural backgrounds. Sailing, like many wonderful activities, celebrates pushing outside of comfort zones. In any issue of 48° North, you can find challenges bested, mental barriers overcome, and magnificent new experiences born of the struggle. This will remain true as long as sailors have the desire for exploration... so, forever. In the context of increasing sailing participation, however, we may have to be more mindful of comfort zones. Baked into Andrew’s recommendation is the notion that getting a person out of their comfort zone in one aspect of a pursuit (like sailing a different kind of boat, trying a new activity, or being new to a crew) is much less daunting if you’re not asking that person to be simultaneously outside of their comfort zone in another aspect (like being the only young person, or the only woman, or the only person of color). So, as the spring moves toward summer and you’re drawn to the glittering waters of the Salish Sea with tractor-beam magnetism, I hope you’ll share the experience with two-or-more young sailors or non-sailors! I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline Editor, 48° North P.S. 48° North is working with the yacht clubs involved in the SARC to put together a regional “rookie rally” day. We’re calling it Washington Sails, and the first annual event will take place at yacht clubs around the Salish Sea on July 7, 2018. Each yacht club will facilitate an event that fits their location, membership, and equipment, but all participating yacht clubs will help people of various backgrounds and experience levels go sailing with some of its more experienced members. With any luck, bringing multiple “rookies” on the boat will help them feel more comfortable while pushing outside their normal sailing comfort zone! May 2018 www.48North.com 6

Letters Sailing with Uncle Bert Hi Joe, I was just reminiscing the other night and felt like writing about a most memorable sailing trip for the family archives, and thought I’d share it with you and the 48° North readers. For years I’ve been wanting to sail our South Coast 26 from here (Bellingham, WA) to Desolation Sound in British Columbia and one summer I was able to plan the required two weeks off work to pursue this dream trip. Over the years sailing friends have intrigued me with stories of the clear, warm, protected waters teaming with muscles, oysters, clams, fish, wildlife, and awesome scenery. It’s a two day sail (or motor) each way. Though the thought of bypassing Princess Louisa Inlet was tough, time wouldn’t allow it, so that would have to be another trip. I was hoping that everything would be perfect on this trip, so that my wife, Rica, who is not a sailor would be more enthusiastic about sailing in the future. Finally, we were ready to cast off. Part way across Bellingham Bay, Rica went below to get some snacks and returned to the hatch saying, “There’s water coming in the boat!” I hadn’t gotten around to putting a check valve in the drain from the head sink, and had forgotten to put in a stopper to keep sea water from backing into the boat when we were heeling. Not good. Everyone knows that the water belongs outside the boat. Sadly, after that experience, Rica had had enough. She was apologetic, but she did not want to continue. We sailed back to Bellingham. It was a quiet drive home – she felt she had let me down on this dream trip. I have an autopilot on board, but the thought of single-handing for two weeks didn’t really appeal to me either. She suggested, “Why don’t you see if Uncle Bert wants to go with you?” “Oh come on, he’s 90 years old, a little unsteady on his feet, and doesn’t get around so well. Two weeks on a 26’ boat could not bode well.” “Maybe you could just sail locally, the San Juans, and see how it goes. If you had any problems you’d be close to home.” It wasn’t Desolation Sound but it was better than being on land, so I asked him. Uncle Bert thought about the invite for 1.4 seconds and said, “Sure.” He packed a few clothes and we were headed back down to the harbor. I showed him around the boat. He wanted to sleep on the settee because it was easier to get in and out of than the V-berth and was closer to the head. Because we were going to be aboard for about a week, he got an expanded safety tour – life jackets, throwable safety ring, fire extinguisher, boarding ladder, propane shutoff, starting and shifting the diesel engine, dropping the sails, radio, etc. He seemed to have a pretty good grasp of it all and then I laid out a possible route – Lummi, Matia, Sucia, Stuart, Jones, Cypress, and home. Many of these islands were State Parks and had docks, which would have made it 8

much easier for him to get off the boat, if he wanted to hike around. My little plastic inflatable was tricky to board, even for a young, agile person. He eagerly said, “Let’s go.” The first day we pulled into Inati Bay and anchored – no dock there. We spent the late afternoon getting more familiar with the boat, the rigging, and the basics of sailing. Bert had an old Klepper Folbot kayak with a sail attachment, but this was a little bit different. Bert was an old German who was used to doing everything on a precise, fixed schedule. When asked if he was ready for lunch or dinner his response was always “What time is it?” That first evening, time got away from us and we ate dinner an hour late. By the time we got tidied up after dinner he was ready for bed. The next morning we got up early and I fixed röstle, a Swiss egg scramble with potatoes, lots of onions and cut up sausage. That and a beautiful, sunny day with a light northerly breeze had us eager to get going. After motoring through Hale Passage, we hoisted the sails for a leisurely beam reach to Matia Island. It just doesn’t get much better than that. We pulled into Rolfe Cove about noon and the place was virtually deserted, so we were able to get premium dock space. The previous night’s boaters had already left and it was too early for most other boaters to tie up for the night. This became our pattern for the next five or six days – get up early, sail till mid day, lunch, hike around that island, dinner and relax before bed. Despite Bert’s unsteady legs, and poor eyesight and hearing, he was an amazing and enthusiastic crewman, and could even hold a reasonably straight course in a following sea. This gave me the opportunity to change head sails, trim sails, and attend to the many little things that always need to be done on an older sailboat. The unexpected delights of the trip were the evenings tied up to a float. After cleaning up the galley, we would play rummy and down a couple beers. Interspersed, Bert would share stories from decades past - what it was like growing up on the farm in Bavaria with my mother in the early 1900s, coming to America just as the Depression hit, driving to California in his old Dodge car on Highway 66, which wasn’t paved between St. Louis and Los Angeles. I was enraptured by these stories, and many more, until the wee hours. I still haven’t made it to Desolation Sound, but that trip around the San Juans with old Uncle Bert is probably the best sailing trip I’ve ever had. He passed away six years later, at the age of ninety-six; and while those stories are gone, the memories of them and our wondeful cruise live on. Cheers, Rich Hermann Bellingham, WA

Vessel Documentation Follow-Up Dear Joe, I had the exact same experience as Mr. Hirko of Gig Harbor with the so-called Marine Documentation Center (MDC), but was able to figure it out quickly. If their web address doesn’t include .mil in its extension, it ain’t the US Coast Guard. Also when Googled, MDC’s listing indicated it was an advertisement in a little box on the first line. MDC is really a commercial company that tries to get you to pay a ridiculous fee for something that you can do for yourself for much less or even for free. Google “IRS Forms” and there will be ten companies who want to charge for what the IRS gives away and ships for free. Technically, this is not illegal but it sure is dishonest; and it’s good for boaters to be aware of.

Lowtide Race to Alaska (R2AK) has been categorized as one of the best bad ideas in the last few years of boat racing. And why should the spawn of R2AK be any different? SEVENTY48 is a 70-mile water race in which teams have 48 hours to complete. There are no motors allowed, no planned support, and no sailing. Racers start in Tacoma, pass through two waypoints, and finish in Port Townsend. And that’s about all the rules we have. It’s going to be a bare knuckled painfest and, except for the team that crosses the line first, all you get is blisters. Yup, just one prize for 120 teams. Who are you going to see? A prone paddler, dads escaping their children for 48 hours, Olympic gold medalists, smiling Canadians, professional athletes, moms fleeing their children for 48 hours, and folks with world records for an insane amount of races. At least a few teams are vying for the first prize of $12,000, the rest are just celebrating being alive and doing something audacious.

What kind of craft? A 100-year-old rowboat, another built from styrofoam found on the beach, two 44-foot outrigger canoes, more SUPs than sanity, enough kayaks to build a highrise, and all sorts of vessels that pedal instead of paddle or row. First, we party. June 10th, the day before the race starts, all the racers will be getting their safety checks, skippers meeting, and race prep completed, so we decided to grab some kegs and get a band and have a party in Tacoma on the water at The Social Bar & Grill. Racers and their boats will be all around, you can come look crazy right in the eye. Anyone needing more humility and inspiration can attend talks by two world record holders: Natalia Cohen, who set a couple world records when she and three crewmates rowed a 29-foot boat, unsupported from San Francisco to Australia. Only took them 9-months. Also speaking is Karl Kruger who set

www.48North.com

May 2018

his own world record by completing the 2017 Race to Alaska on a SUP. The race starts on June 11th on Tacoma’s Thea Foss Waterway, 5:30pm. Teams will travel the entire length of Tacoma, so there are plenty of viewing places along the way. In Port Townsend, we’ll be setting up a finish line clubhouse with drinks and food, from whenever the first team crosses the line until the race officially ends at 5:30pm, on June 13th. But then we start up another party for Race to Alaska and SEVENTY48 awards ceremony called the R2AK Pre-race Ruckus. In between parties, you can watch the whole race online, because every team carries a SPOT tracker, so you can watch all the racers, 24 hours a day, online for free. We even hooked up the tracker to teams’ social media accounts so you can geek out on any team that’s posting. Also, we’re rolling an hourly live newscast on Instagram with a media team that will be on the water filming for the whole 48 hours. All of it is free. Get all the info at: seventy48.com

Lowtide The Galapágos Islands, about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, consist of 13 major islands, six smaller ones, and about 100 small outcrops. Only five islands are inhabited by people, about 26,000 of whom call it home. A law restricting human colonization has passed, and only residents and their children are allowed to live permanently in the Galapágos. Ecuador has owned the Galapágos since 1832. The Galapágos Islands were designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1934.

Maritime Trivia by

B ryan H enry

The Galapágos Islands were originally called The Enchanted Islands. The Galapágos is the world’s only archipelago that has a majority of its plant and animal species intact. The Galapágos Islands are geologically young - the oldest islands are only 4.2 million years old.

In 1973, the Galapágos became a province of Ecuador, known as Galapágos Province.

Of the 15 subspecies of giant tortoises that once existed on the Galapágos Islands, four have become extinct.

In 1978, the Galapágos Islands were the first designated World Heritage Site.

The oldest giant tortoise recorded was 152 years old.

The Galapágos Marine Reserve is the second largest marine reserve in the world.

Hatchlings, or newborn giant tortoises, weigh less than a quarter pound and take 20 years to mature.

Aldabra Island, in Mauritius and the Galapágos, are the only two places in the world where giant tortoises are found. They can grow to six feet long and weigh 600 pounds. The Galapágos marine iguana feeds on algae on cliffs and submerged rocks, while most land iguanas feed on plants, including prickly pears. Male marine iguanas butt heads when competing for females. Marine iguanas can dive to depths of 35’ and can remain submerged up to an hour. They can grow to three feet long. A group of marine iguanas is called a mess. Seven species of lava lizards are unique to the islands. Galapágos penguins are the only penguin species of 17 that nest entirely in the tropics and the only penguin that resides in the northern hemisphere.

We Make Sails of every size and description.

Quality, Craftsmanship and Affordability have been the hallmark of Lee Sails for over 60 years. From dinghies to tall ships our versatility and adaptability has made Lee Sails a truly international sailmaker.

Natural down jackets and gilets are lightweight, stylish and practical, providing a superb layer of insulation. However, if untreated down gets wet, it loses most of its insulation properties. Gill Hydrophobe jackets and gilets take the best elements of natural down to create an extraordinarily warm, lightweight and versatile layer that will withstand almost anything the harshest environments can muster. To further enhance wet weather performance, the lightweight outer fabric has its own water repellent treatment.

Not only will they perform better in cold, damp conditions, Hydrophobic down jackets are incredibly versatile. The Gill Hydrophobe Down jackets and gilets can be worn over base layers, and under any of our protective layers. All Gill garments are developed in line with our athletes and tested in the harshest of marine conditions,

so you can be sure they are up to any adventure. This Hydrophobic jacket is far more water resistant than those using untreated down, however it is waterrepellent, not waterproof. If you’re going to be out in wet conditions for a prolonged amount of time, make sure you have a protective waterproof jacket. Check: www.gillmarine.com

KTI Systems Inc., manufacturer of the FilterBoss, has introduced a new fuel filtration system designed to offer complete fuel system management capabilities in one compact package. The new Keenan Filter System offers essential maintenance, diagnostic and repair functions to provide the user total control of their onboard fuel system no matter the fuel source or their location. The new system can provide fuel polishing, filter switching,

servicing, clogged filter & water detection warnings, a back-up fuel pump and integrated communication. The Keenan Filter System incorporates a patented manifold that interconnects passages within the filter housing. This allows fuel to be ported directly into the off-line filter in all dual filter models so the operator can drain the fuel bowl contaminates, replace filter element, and then top off the filter without the usual diesel fuel mess. All models use

standard Racor ™ filter elements for exceptional contamination removal and water separation, as well as worldwide availability. Each new Keenan Filter System also features a separate warning and operation panel that can be conveniently placed in the cockpit or navigation station for remote monitoring and alarm control. They also offer an optional Global System for Mobile Communications smart phone interface. Check: www.keenanfilters.com

The handling of soft-luff sails such as asymmetric spinnakers and gennakers on big boats has been made easier. The Ronstan Series 200 and 280 Continuous Line Furlers extend the range to boats up to 82ft (25m) in length with the 17,600lb (8000kg) model. Because of the higher loads experienced on larger yachts, the tack line fairlead is a 3:1 instead of the smaller 2:1 size line. • A maintenance-free, sealed main bearing system on both the furler and the top swivels ensures smooth

operation and long life. • A lightweight, machined drum that is matched to the load. This provides the optimum balance between speed and ease of furling. • There are multiple attachment options which include quick release pins, high resistance shackles, snap shackles, fairleads and torsion rope thimbles. • The continuous furling line is easily fitted and removed from the

furler, so it can be left on deck when the sail and furler are stowed below. • An optional rotation stop prevents the sail from unfurling accidentally. The two new large sizes feature Top-Down adapters rather than dedicated Top-Down furlers. This arrangement provides greater flexibility with code sails or asymmetricals, ensuring that the sail furls perfectly every time. Check: www.ronstan.us

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

If I were a Dungeness crab and saw this thing coming at me, I’d make a run for it. Sea stars are varied and common in the Salish Sea, but this giant predator, the sunflower star, is the largest star in the world. Unlike a common ochre star that seems rigid because of a linked internal skeleton, sunflower stars seem not to have this and so are very limp, almost droopy, when picked up. Some might not even be able to be picked up, as the largest are a yard wide and wouldn’t even fit in a bushel basket. They’re big animals and one of the speediest sea stars around. Colors can be purplish to orange, some are darker purple to reddish brown - the mouth side (bottom) is always paler. Younger animals start life with five arms, just like most other stars, but as they grow, arms are added. Some can have up to 24 arms and look like a, well, gigantic sunflower.

Sunflower stars will eat just about anything, alive or dead, and their speed means they can run down creatures like crabs or other slower prey. It’s easy to spot these animals in shallow water from shore or a shallow-draft boat. They can travel six to nine feet a minute, a rather amazing speed for a sea star. This speed means it can also travel rather amazing distances and some have been tracked upwards of two miles from initial tagging. Most sea stars first cover their prey, then the stomach protrudes to envelope the meal. The sunflower star just swallows it whole. Dinner can include other sea stars, urchins, many types of crustaceans, and even octopus. You can often tell when it’s eating by spotting a big lump on its top side. Turn it over and you might see part of a crab sticking out of the star’s mouth.

Chicagof and Baranof islands offer a selection of hot springs, and simply must be included in your itinerary. Tenakee Springs is located in the Tenakee Inlet off of Chatham Strait on Chicagof Island. The village of Tenakee Springs is charmingly picturesque and quiet, and the locals are very friendly. At the center of town is the bathhouse that is the town’s namesake. There are posted separate hours for men and women (no co-ed options). The spring, enclosed in its own room, is essentially a rift in the rock, enclosed in a cement pool. The water is hot and, with the high mineral content, quite soothing. As it flows out at a steady rate, the water is clean and clear. The bathhouse is used by the locals for bathing as well as therapeutic soaking. Take your dock kit to this one! There is a small marina with inexpensive guest slips.

(look for the waterfalls). While some larger boats anchor here, it is best to avail yourself of the free dock space. For soaking here you have two options. For the first, there are small cabins along the trail just up from the dock with a view of the waterfall. Each contains a large soaking tub (plenty of room for two) with hot/cold faucets. Both faucets are natural spring water, gravity fed from the hill above. Hence, you can choose a range of temperatures. The hot water is really, really hot! For a more natural experience, continue up the trail to the top of the waterfalls. There you will find soaking pools overlooking the falls and the bay. When the weather is gloomy and Chatham Strait is gnarly, this place is a luxurious escape. Like many places in Alaska, there are bears here. Keep that in

Since we’ve been halfway round the planet, we feel pretty fortunate to have lived and cruised there. As if you needed another reason to venture north, you have a selection of wonderful geothermal treasures strategically located along the way. Nothing beats soaking in a hot pool of water, looking out through the cedars and firs, to the anchorage where you are moored. There are several other gems not mentioned in this article, which should definitely be sought out and explored. Happy soaking!

Sailing Strategy

Along the south coast of British Columbia, the area between the Strait of Georgia and Queen Charlotte Strait contains several channels where there is considerable current flow and even tidal rapids. It requires careful timing to transit each narrows at slack and run with a favorable current. Johnstone Strait is the fastest and most direct route through this area. It is a beautiful waterway between high mountain peaks on Vancouver Island and the many islands to the north. Every warm, sunny day, a westerly wind develops in this long strait. Because it’s notorious for this wind, an old salt told me its name is actually “Johnstone Strait — Strong Wind Warning in Effect.” It seems to strike fear into many a captain’s heart. But as a sailor, I look forward to Johnstone Strait because it is an area where we can nearly always have an exciting sail. The summer westerly wind in Johnstone Strait is usually a combination of the wind created by the ridge of high pressure over the offshore waters and the diurnal inflow wind created by interior land heating. The wind is channeled and funneled through Johnstone Strait to become a strong westerly starting in the afternoon. The strong wind continues after dark, abating overnight. Powerboat lore says to travel in the early morning to avoid the stronger wind. I advocate that sailors

travel midday to take advantage of the sailable breeze (provided there is a helpful current in the afternoon as well). But on your day of travel, you must stay aware of how conditions are changing to know if the wind remains in your comfort zone. Here are some guidelines for how to plan your sail westbound from Discovery Passage to Havannah Channel. First, you must know the predicted currents in Johnstone Strait. Only attempt to run westbound with an ebb current. Ideally, the ebb will occur in the afternoon so you will have a good sailing wind. Johnstone Strait has

considerable tidal currents, up to 6 knots in places. It floods east and ebbs west. Set off on your westbound passage when the ebb current begins at your starting location. It is about 30 NM from Chatham Point to Port Neville, so that is a good run for a single ebb current cycle. Before you round Chatham Point, listen to the most recent wind report from the Chatham Point lighthouse. If it suggests you should reef, do so in the lee of Chatham Point near Otter Cove. Once past the point and into Johnstone Strait, if you find you are over canvassed, head to the protection of Turn Island and reef there. If the

wind is too strong for you, turn to run downwind into Nodales Channel. You can find anchorage in Thurston Bay and await more favorable conditions. As you head west in Johnstone Strait, the wind will get stronger as you approach Ripple Point. If you find the conditions not enjoyable around Ripple Point, rather than continuing to sail close-hauled in Johnstone Strait, turn downwind to run into Mayne Passage. You will find the wind completely disappears before Blind Channel Resort. Just north of the Resort is Shell Point, which is another fast current area, up to 5 knots, but it is not turbulent. It ebbs south, so you will find the current at Shell Point is against you if you are traveling with that tide. Another concern if you go this way is that you need to find a place to stop while you await slack water at Green Point Rapids. If you continued in Johnstone Strait beyond Mayne Passage, you will find the wind speed reduces from Ripple Point to Chancellor Channel. By now, the ebb current will be pushing you westward, so each tack makes good windward progress.

Expect the wind to be strong near Ripple point, and swirly near Chancellor Channel. Check wind and current conditions at Fanny Island and Sunderland Channel before passing the anchorages, like North Cove, on Helmecken Island as you transit Current Passage. As Johnstone Strait widens at Chancellor Channel, the wind becomes swirly but also reduces further. Head towards Current Passage to stay to the north of Helmcken Island. You will find the wind drops considerably, and is much less than the Fanny Island wind reports. The wind may even be calm. When you arrive at Helmcken Island, you are about 18 NM from

Chatham Point, and it is another 9-12 NM to the safe anchorages around Port Neville. Now, you must decide whether to continue onward or stop at Helmcken Island to wait for better conditions. Listen to the wind report from Fanny Island, which is updated every hour at x:35. If the wind speed at Fanny Island is close to or beyond your comfort level, anchor at Helmcken Island. The north cove has good holding, but about 1.5 knots of current enters the bay on an ebb tide so set your anchor well. There may also be some williwaws at night from the Vancouver Island mountains, but the north cove is not in the direct path of these gusts. Anchoring overnight means you can start your journey past Kelsey Bay and Sunderland Channel when the ebb current begins the next day; that is, at an earlier hour when the wind will be less. This is much preferred to taking a beating between Kelsey Bay and Port Neville if the wind is too strong when you first arrive. If the wind report seems reasonable, then look at the current prediction for Sunderland Channel (Shaw Point).

When Sunderland Channel has strong current and there is a brisk northwest or westerly wind at Fanny Island, nasty tide rips develop near Kelsey Bay and again south of Tuna Point. To avoid these rips, it is best to time your travel to be as close to slack water in Sunderland Channel as possible. Let me say this another way to emphasize the point: to avoid very rough conditions due to strong tide rips, travel past Sunderland Channel near its slack current time. It makes a huge difference in sea state. Once the combination of the Fanny Island wind report and Sunderland Channel current is acceptable, then consider reefing before you continue past Helmcken Island. Remember, it is easier to shake out a reef when you need more power than it is to put in a reef after you learn you are overpowered. Past the west end of Helmcken Island, the wind starts to pick up. I have found the wind just west of Kelsey Bay is 50% stronger than the wind reported at Fanny Island. Also, look for the best place to cross the Kelsey Bay tide rip. A strong wind makes the tide rip worse. The strong wind continues to the

Hopefully, you have arrived when the tide rip south of Tuna Point is not bad, or you may have an exciting water-overthe-bow ride through the steep waves. Once you approach the junction with Port Neville, everything mellows out. The wind becomes more stable in speed and direction. The sea state improves. The channel from here to the west end of Johnstone Strait is relatively straight and wide with less current. You can do some nice sailing in the 10 NM from Port Neville to Havannah Channel; this is especially

true if you have favorable current. If you started the day’s journey in Discovery Passage and you reached Sunderland Channel near slack, the Johnstone Strait Central current station will indicate the current is turning to the eastbound flood. If you are in this situation, consider stopping for the night. Port Neville is a reasonable anchorage. Entry to the basin is tricky because the shallow channel can have 3 knots current and the inner basin can have 1.5 knots. While at anchor, the wind can push your boat one direction while the current pushes you the other, so set your anchor well so you can rest easily after an exhilarating day of sailing in the notorious Johnstone Strait. Marilyn Johnson is an avid sailor and retired technical writer. After spending years sailing along the British Columbia coast to Alaska’s Glacier Bay, she decided to write down her acquired local knowledge of winds and tidal currents in her sailing reference guide, Taken by the Wind: The Northwest Coast.

Replace Your Headliner By Alex and Jack Wilken

he headliner in your boat serves many functions beyond the purely aesthetic. In addition to creating a finished look by covering up a potentially unsightly overhead, the typically light color helps brighten the cabin interior, and provides insulation for both sound and temperature. Headliners age and can get dirty and otherwise damaged. They are also often installed in such a way as to cover any access to deck fitting hardware or wiring. These factors mean that, at some point, you might want to replace or modify your boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headliner. One might imagine that replacing your headliner would be the perfect winter project as most of the work is on the interior and the boat may not be easily sailable while the project is being completed. However, most of the glues used with headliners are very sensitive to temperature and moisture. Cold, wet winter weather can complicate the project or even make adhesion impossible if the temperature is low enough. The ideal time do tackle this project may be to wait until the spring brings moderate temperatures, but before the sailing season is in full

swing. In this article, we will go over some different designs and materials of headliners and offer considerations about how to install them. The definition of headliner can get a little broad, but as we are referring to it, we mean anything that is covering the underside of the deck. This can be carpet, cloth, vinyl, foam, laminate, wood, fiberglass, and the list goes on. The headliners can be broken into two clear categories: solid and cloth-like. In the solid category, there are many options (more than we could cover in the scope of this article), but for the most part they consist of hard panels that are cut to fit and cover the underside of the deck. Solid panels are a good option for covering flat surfaces or surfaces that only curve in one plane. They are also ideal for bridging spaces and covering thick insulation (Figure 1). Some solid headliners may be made of molded fiberglass or another material structure that is constructed into a large, solid piece that cannot be disassembled. In some ways, this is the worst headliner and, in others, the best. It is normally impossible to disassemble

or replace such a headliner, since it was installed as the boat was built. On the other hand, it is the most durable and resistant to water and other damage. In cloth-like headliners, there are basically three options: carpet, vinyl, and foam-backed vinyl. Vinyl comes in perforated and non-perforated versions, but this is largely an aesthetic difference. Carpet is the most forgiving and hides the most imperfections of the underside of the deck, even being able to cover wire bundles and conform to multiplanar curves (Figure 2) and can be butted up against itself to create almost invisible seams. Foam-backed vinyl can be used on a surface with small imperfections and will provide more insulation. Vinyl can be glued to smooth surfaces or stretched across spaces (Figure 3). All vinyl is water proof and easy to clean, but needs to have joints covered, normally with trim pieces. Vinyl can be glued and/ or stapled to solid boards, which technically makes it a cover for a solid headliner. Whatever the material, it is important that the headliner design allows access to any wiring and deck hardware underneath it. If it does not, you should consider how to modify it so that it does. Having the headliner made up of removable panels is an excellent way to achieve this. If the headliner is stuck directly to the underside of the deck, such as with carpet and foam-backed vinyl, then you can simply bring the fastenings through the headliner and have them exposed. By using acorn nuts you can create a nice clean look as well as functionality that you will appreciate if you ever need to service or replace deck hardware. If the wiring is covered by the headliner, it is best to run it near a seam to make it as accessible as possible in the event that you need to run new wires or diagnose an electrical problem. If the headliner is non-removable, such as a molded fiberglass headliner, hopefully, there are access panels to service the deck hardware. If there are not, or if you are adding hardware to a location that does not have access panels, you will need to make a suitable removable cover for the access you need, which we will discuss in more detail later. Once you have decided how you

want your headliner to look when you are done, you can begin the process of replacing/modifying it. This process is, of course, very different depending on which kind of headliner you are dealing with. We will start with flexible headliners and work our way to solid ones. Carpet: First, you must remove the old headliner and clean the surface with an adhesive cleaner (such as 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner). When dealing with carpet, it is important to use a sharp cutting blade to make clean cuts for edges and seams. Use a knife with replaceable blades and don’t be shy about replacing them the moment they become even a little dull. The moment you notice a difference in how easily it cuts, replace the bladedon’t even try to finish the cut with it. This is particularly important where you are trying to bring two pieces of carpet together in a visible seam. Measure the old carpet so that you have a good idea of how much you need to cover the area. It is not so important to have patterns of the space you want to cover, because it is fairly easy to cut the carpet to fit in place. Plan where the joints are going to be, in order to hide them best. It is possible to bring two pieces of carpet together in the middle of a flat space and have it look pretty good, but the best way, if you can manage it, is to hide all seams in a crack or under something. Don’t make seams with carpet on outside radiuses or corners as this can make them more noticeable. Once you have laid out your seams, cut sections of carpet that will easily cover the area you are working with and then apply contact cement adhesive (3M Super 77 spray adhesive is a good choice) to both the back of the carpet and the surface you are gluing it to. Let the adhesive tack up, per its instructions (a few minutes in the case of 3M spray adhesive), and then start pressing the two surfaces together. Start from one point and work your way away from it making sure not to create any wrinkles or bubbles. If you get a wrinkle, just carefully pull the carpet down, trying not to stretch it, and carefully stick it back down so there is no wrinkle. The carpet will stretch a bit if you need it to; just be careful that it doesn’t go back into its

Figure 2: A - carpet. B - Seams hidden in corners. C -Carpet ends under hatch frame. Hatch frame needs to be removed and reinstalled over new headliner. original shape after stretching. To match up a seam, do not glue down the last couple inches where the pieces meet. Have them overlap at least

an inch. Once the pieces are glued up with the edges loose and overlapping, use a very sharp cutting blade to cut a straight line through the layers, so they

Then, apply the adhesive to the two surfaces at the seam and once they have tacked up sufficiently. Stick down one and then the other so they form a nice, almost invisible seam. Because the carpet will stretch or compress slightly, you can adjust it after you cut it if the seam does not line up perfectly. For the tightest seam, it’s best if you can have just a little bit extra material so that they are compressing together, but it must not be too much as to cause wrinkles. Anywhere that the carpet arrives at a stopping point like a trim piece or a hatch, once you have stuck it down, simply trim it to fit with the sharp cutting blade. Foam-backed vinyl: Surface preparation is much more important with foam-backed vinyl as it will not

cover imperfections as well as carpet. Sand and/or scrape the surface to make sure it is as smooth as possible. If it is intact and fits appropriately, you can use the old headliner as a pattern to cut the new headliner. If not, make a pattern of the space to cut the new headliner. You can trim the foambacked vinyl in place so it is a good idea to cut it a little bit big, so as to make sure it fits. Then, trim away the extra in place once it is glued up. Apart from having to cover all the seams and not being able to conform to complex surfaces, the installation is very similar to carpet headliner. Vinyl: Apart from covering smooth surfaces, the other common use of vinyl for headliner is stretching across gaps. Because it is lighter than

Figure 4: A - Solid headliner. B - Access panel. C - Screw covers to hold up access panel. May 2018 www.48North.com 36

foam-backed vinyl, it can cover a wider space without sagging. The installation process is similar to foam-backed vinyl. The biggest difference with spanning spaces is that the only points of contact are at the edge. Normally, it is best to attach one side, then stretch it taut and then attach the other side. As the attachment point is small, wood staples are oftem used in addition to, or in place of, glue. Solid panels: Carefully remove the old panels. Hopefully, they make good patterns. If not, make patterns for each panel. If the edges are exposed, the fit is more critical. Confirm the actual fit of each panel before you try to install them. To secure the panels up, you can use screws (through the trim or simply through the panel), or Velcro on the back side of the panel. Solid headliner: This is not normally replaced but does sometimes need to be modified to allow more access to the underside of the deck. The modification is basically cutting an access and covering it in some aesthetically pleasing way. Two options to accomplish this are either a solid panel or vinyl stretched over the access and trimmed. The choice is a very aesthetic one and should be made based on the look of the interior. When replacing a headliner, it is your chance to not only improve the look of the boat but improve the ease of access to essential areas. Too many boats are built with no consideration for maintenance and equipment upgrades. The focus tends to be on making it pretty for minimal cost in the assembly. Just running a wire to a new light can become a major problem without proper access. If you like your boat, make it easy to work on. Odds are that at some point, some poor soul is going to have to run a wire, rebed a fitting, or install new deck hardware (if it’s not you, it’ll be someone you’re paying). When we get on a boat for a new project, one of the first things we check is access the underside of the deck. It is a beautiful thing to behold a headliner that is not only good looking, but is also well thought-out and practical.

Bridging the Gap:

What’s After Junior Sailing? By Andrew Nelson

Many in the sailing community ponder the question of how to convert young people who are involved in various junior sailing pursuits into lifelong sailors who take part in recreational sailing as adults. It’s a question that should be central to the community’s ability to grow the sport and increase participation. As was evidenced by Kurt Hoehne’s survey on Sailish.com this past fall, many of sailors around the Puget Sound are concerned that PHRF fleets are getting smaller, crews are getting older, and new recruits are hard to find, especially those that know what they’re doing. My opinions are not as doom and gloom as many you may hear. In fact, I think the future is extremely bright. Anyone who is in touch with the Northwest youth sailing scene knows that it’s stronger than ever. We’re doing

a great job of turning out sailors, and more kids are racing on the youth circuit or in high school sailing than ever before. Where we really struggle is keeping these sailors engaged and involved with the sport once they are no longer part of the youth sailing programs and community.

Whether a sailor is in the Opti, part of a high school team, or even part of a college team, there are clearly defined pathways and people (coaches, parents, etc.) helping to facilitate their participation. After college, we mostly cut them off and leave it to them to figure out how to keep sailing. Factor

This is one of the author’s most commonly used diagrams to depict the common youth sailing pathway. The symbiosis might benefit from the inclusion of keelboat sailing, too. www.48North.com May 2018 37

Ben and Jen Glass have been inviting juniors out for the Blakely Rock Benefit Regatta on “Ocelot” the last couple of years. This picture shows a 16-year-old high school sailor, Ripley Morris, at the helm of a big, fast boat on her first keelboat race! correlation between age and length of boat as measured in feet. Junior sailing happens almost exclusively in small boats, which are great for developing an intuitive feel and a pure understanding of sailing. At the other end of the spectrum most adult sailing happens in larger boats, specifically boats with keels and PHRF ratings. There might be a PHRF race with 100 boats taking place at Shilshole, and that same day there could be 200 high school sailors at a regatta on Lake Washington, yet very few sailors in either group are aware of what’s happening just a couple miles away. Rarely are youngsters and adults on the water at the same regatta, and rarer still is it to see them sailing together on the same boat. There will always be a somewhat natural disconnect between generations, but the fact that big boats and small boats have distinct and separate audiences doesn’t help bridge that divide. For all the great instruction and coaching that today’s youth get, there are a lot of skills that we’re doing a disservice to. Just walk the dock at any high school regatta The Oregon State Sailing team practicing on the J/35, and observe the various “Grace,” in preparation for the 2017 Harbor Cup in Los knots securing the boats Angeles.

in social and economic pressures like student loan debt, steep rent, a serious relationship, or maybe even starting a family, and it really puts a squeeze on the budget, not to mention free time. It’s no wonder that our sport sees a dramatic down turn in participation among twenty-somethings. I’m not going to solve these bigger issues in this article, but I think we can greatly increase the number of young adults that stick with sailing. This works best if we can give them the opportunity to start sailing on bigger boats and connect them to the greater sailing community at a younger age. There seems to be a pretty strong

hitches” and “bowlines.” We don’t do a good job teaching seamanship in small boats, and things like navigation, general boating safety, and weather are rarely talked about. We have plenty of talented dinghy sailors who can find the favored end of the start line, tell you which tack is favored, and roll tack their boat with the best of them, but ask that sailor to “jump a halyard” or “tail for a grinder” and they probably won’t have a clue what you’re talking about. There are a lot of skills that are best learned, or can only be learned, on a big boat, and these skills are central in developing a complete and wellrounded sailor. There are some of us in the junior sailing world who recognize this and, recently, it seems there is a bigger push to get sailors exposed to keelboats while they’re still in the pipeline. Match racing has really taken off in college, and there’s building enthusiasm for it at the youth level as well. High school sailing recently added a “National Keelboat Invitational” regatta to the schedule, which is sailed each fall in Florida using a fleet of provided J/70s. New youth offshore teams and academies seem to be popping up each year. One of the most prominent is the Oakcliff Sailing Center in New York; they have a fleet of 40-50’ keelboats and a rigorous offshore training program. In fact, Sean Grealish, a former high school sailor from Portland went through the Oakcliff program in 2016 and then served as navigator on the Farr 400 Blue Flash in the 2017 Transpac. Locally, we’ve seen Bellingham Yacht Club juniors racing together on weeknights with the Etchells fleet in their hometown, sailing a donated boat with great success. More programs have been picking up J/24s or similar keelboats that can be integrated into their adventure sailing or racing programs. Olympia High School trained regularly on a J/24 before competing at the National Keelboat Invitational this fall. Granted, the J/24 and J/70 aren’t the same platform, but the J/24 is good for gaining experience and it’s very durable. In most instances, teens have a blast with these opportunities and it’s a healthy change of pace for them where they can learn new skills. The reason more kids are not

sailing bigger boats isn’t because they lack interest or feel intimidated, it’s because they don’t know the people who are out there racing PHRF. The number one reason both teens and adults sail is because they enjoy the social aspect of sharing in an activity with a group of people they like. The common denominator with most of the success stories above is that they involve teens sailing together with teens (and maybe one adult). We’ll be more successful getting teens out on big boats if we ask a group of teens, not just one teen. When my friends ask me to go sailing I’m way more likely to say yes than when it’s a stranger, and you probably are too. Now, imagine that stranger is a couple generations older than you, you’ve never met them before, you don’t know their boat, and on top of that you also need your parent’s permission to go. Teens are not going to come flocking your way because of a “crew wanted” post, no matter how cool your boat is, if you’re a stranger. The world of big boat sailing is even more mysterious and seemingly less accessible because most youth

sailors lack a family connection to sailing. In fact, I would guess that more than 75% of high school sailors come from non-sailing families. That stat is something we should be celebrating as an accomplishment, but these high school sailors aren’t spending vacations and weekends on the boat with their parents and siblings. If they do have a chance to get on a big boat it’s probably because a coach or other trusted adult made a personal outreach to them and asked them to give it a try. One of the top skippers in the high school conference, Alyosha StrumPalerm, was introduced to sailing by his neighbor John Leitzinger (owner of Kahuna). Alyosha is one of the few high school sailors to walk in both worlds. His high school team is hoping to repeat as NWISA district champions again this spring, and he’s also busy preparing to race Pacific Cup aboard the Aerodyne 43, Freja, this summer. But what if John wasn’t Alyosha’s neighbor? And what if he had never reached out to him? And what if all those people hadn’t spent the time to mentor him along the way? It takes a village to raise a complete sailor, and

if we’re not building complete sailors, then we’re probably also not building as many lifelong sailors as we could be. My point here is that adults need to spend some time cultivating a relationship with these young sailors before making the invite. If you’re not sure where to start, then come help with race committee at a junior regatta, drop by a high school practice and share your expertise, or volunteer at your local learn-to-sail program. Faceto-face interaction and mentorship are far more powerful recruitment and retention tools than social media and “crew finder” apps that claim to be the solution. Those who put in the effort to know these young sailors will have the most success at forming powerful and lasting bonds. The key is forming these bonds before they leave the safety and comfort of the nest, while sailing is still a relatively easy activity to fit into their schedule. You might be the one that gets them back on the water when they’re a twenty-something.

ave you ever heard of Heart Interface? They were the first ones to build a reliable inverter for offgrid and marine applications back in the 70s. Did you know that this alternative energy brand was built by a long-haired barefoot man on a secluded beach in Costa Rica? I didn’t either. That is, until we pulled into the calm waters of Ballenas Bay, nestled among hilly jungles on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica. As we settled in, a fellow cruiser advised that we not miss the expat market the following morning, and to look out for Honey while we were there. I wondered how we would figure out which one Honey was, but it turns out my concern was unfounded. The next day, as we perused the best selection of fresh vegetables we had seen in months, we heard a voice that could only belong to this woman named Honey. She was doling out instructions to the ladies around her in a stern but affectionate tone, as if she embodied both the sweet her name implies and the unavoidable sting that comes with it. She had a hypnotic way of speaking that will draw you in close and hold you there, hovering over her words. Her uncontrollable wiry silver hair augmented her charisma. One strap of her frayed white tank top was held together with a rusted safety pin. She was barefoot. She chatted with us in that sweet stern way as she shuffled papers, packed up zucchinis and called out to the vendors. She runs this market, as well as several others, and it was time to set up in the next town over. As she packed up, she pointed across the bay to the cove where Halcyon bobbed on her anchor. “See that beach there? That’s my home”, she said. “Come by tomorrow and you can meet my husband. He’s a real character.” 40

Honey poked her head out the door and waved at us to come on up. “Let us just put some pants on,” she added casually. We exchanged amused glances with Honey’s daughter and strolled slowly up the path. And that is where we met Heart, of Heart Interface. “Character” does not begin to describe this man. His wild long silver hair reached his shoulders, with a beard to match. He wore only a pair of stained and unevenly frayed jean shorts. His skin was dark and leathery. As we eased into the pair of rocking chairs on the porch of their small openair casita, he dropped onto a cushion on the ground, with the flexibility and movement of a yoga master contrasting the hunched wrinkled appearance of an old man. But there was nothing old or wrinkled about his insanely intelligent mind. Just as his appearance contrasted his impressive flexibility, the stories and ideas that tumbled out in a mesmerizing cascade to expose his genius contrasted the preconceived notion of the mind of a man who lives barefoot in a hut on a secluded Costa Rican beach. We sat the whole afternoon, sipping Honey’s homemade limeade, as their incredible story emerged. Once upon a

While we had decided to leave the following day, we could not possibly skip meeting the man Honey, with her bare feet and wild hair, so casually called a “character.” So the next morning, we paddled to the beach and wandered along the rocks to a set of winding stairs. At the top of the stairs was a small clean pool set next to a simple sturdy open-air house. There was no sign of occupancy. “Hello?” We called out. “Honey?” A tall athletic 30-something guy appeared from around the corner in nothing but a speedo, all muscle and long arms. He greeted us and pointed us through the house and up a path to find Honey. As we walked away, he advised us to whistle or make noise as we approached. We passed through the openair kitchen, where we encountered a young woman, also in her 30s, bustling around tall piles of produce, washing and chopping. She walked us to the end of the house, knife in hand, and pointed up the path. But before we could take another step, she called out in a practiced piercing tone, A sailor and astrophysicist, Heart is moving the world “MA!!!

time, they had what we might consider a “normal” life in the states. She got a masters, he a PhD in astrophysics. But they grew disenchanted with the rat race, and uprooted to a hippie commune in Oregon. Once they started having kids, it became clear that the woods of Oregon were not far enough away for them. So Heart built a trimaran – in the mountains, by himself – and one October over 40 years ago, Heart and Honey, with their 2-week old baby and five other people, floated the trimaran down the Yaquina river and into the ocean, headed south. Heart was the only one of the bunch who had ever sailed. Somewhere off the coast of Oregon, they were dismasted and spent a winter without heat in Newport making the repairs. Eventually they made it to Ballenas Bay in Costa Rica, and they never left. Back then, the only civilization was a tiny fishing town with no roads, electricity, or stores. Honey and Heart set up a small bamboo structure over a tarp, had their fourth of nine children, and foraged and fished for sustenance. They embedded into the small community, she as a midwife

and he as a fixer of things. A few children later, someone came to Heart and asked that he build a solar-powered system for their home. Heart found a company in the states to ship him the parts, sailed to Panama to pick them up (for a break on taxes), and built version one of his own inverter on the sail back to Costa Rica. Thus began a lifelong pursuit to shift the whole world onto sustainable power. Honey and Heart know their dreams are ambitious. But they also understand the technology that could actually bring that dream to reality. To hear Heart passionately discuss his vision of worldwide solar power is to believe in its eventual certainty. As an active dreamer with an endlessly searching mind, Heart imagined what a society would look like – in detail – if it depended solely on solar energy. This revealed to him the missing pieces in today’s technology to reach that goal. And so he made them. He designs, develops, and manufactures those

missing pieces to give the world one less excuse not to use alternative energy. His newest project is called a transverter, and it is a small box containing every electrical component required for an alternative energy system. I would go into more detail on how it works, but though he toured us through the piles of transverters and various computer readouts, it is well beyond my technical understanding. Honey and Heart live their perfect life. From their small open air home in the jungle above their own beach, Honey runs the organic markets and Heart develops complex electrical equipment in an attempt to forever change the world. Six of their nine kids live within five miles, along with a bevy of grandkids. The whole town across the bay runs on a solar microgrid that Heart set up and manages. It is perhaps not the life you’d expect from an astrophysicist and electrical engineer, but that is what makes it most beautiful. Becca and John are in Drake Bay, Costa Rica.

Galley Essentials with Amanda Per, Irene, and Amanda savouring Norwegian waffles. Last winter while Mahina Tiare received the second half of her 200,000-mile refit in a Swedish boatyard, John and I enjoyed our San Juan Island base. Upon returning to Sweden in April, we had 16 days until our North Sea passage and found ourselves sharing the harbour with only two yachts containing hardy sailors also gearing up for adventures, amidst the occasional hail storm. When our neighbours, Irene and Per, invited us to their boat for traditional Norwegian waffles, John and I enthusiastically accepted. Irene carries her mothers heart shaped waffle iron aboard and her waffles contained a lovely hint of cardamom that paired well with the thin slices of gjetost, (Norwegian brown cheese) lingonberry jam and sour cream. Waffles ½ cup butter - softened 1 cup sugar 4 eggs - beaten 1 cup buttermilk ½ cup milk 2 cups flour ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Mix in buttermilk and milk. Sift together flour, cardamom, baking powder, and baking soda and mix into the batter to combine. Create waffles using a Scandinavian waffle maker. Serve with preserves and whipped cream.

Pre-heat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, stir together butter, parsley, lemon zest and juice, horseradish, and mustard. Season fillets, on both sides, with salt and spread one side with butter mixture. If fillets are long, fold them in half to enclose butter. Place fillets in an oven dish, bake 15 minutes, cover with shrimps and bake another 5 minutes or until fish is done. Place fillets topped with a spoonful of juice from the dish, shrimps, and egg. Our expedition crew joined us on a sunny spring day, and we cast off for Mandal, Norway, 135 miles to the west. Following winds and flat seas made for a very pleasurable overnight crossing of the Skagerrak. As we approached the seaside town of Mandal the wind increased, and we reefed sails for an exciting landfall. We eagerly explored ashore and savoured the delights of a small restaurant where the owner, Evelyn, bakes breads, roasts coffee beans, serves tasty fresh food, and even crafts Kombucha; beer brewed from black tea and barley. Evelyn’s Greek Stuffed Tomatoes 6 large beefsteak tomatoes minced zest of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon honey 1 clove garlic 2 cups stemmed and chopped baby spinach 1 cup cooked brown rice, quinoa or wheat berries 1 cup crumbled feta cheese ¼ diced red onion ¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives ¼ cup minced fresh mint lemon wedges Slice tops off tomatoes and, using a melon baller,

scrape out and discard pulp. Season their insides with salt and pepper. Whisk together zest, lemon juice, oil, mustard, honey, and garlic. Toss together spinach, rice, feta, onion, olives and mint with dressing. Season to taste then divide and stuff tomatoes. Serve with lemon wedges. Upon departing Mandal, we had 20 knot winds from astern for seven hours, but at 1700 the wind went light and for the first time ever crossing the North Sea, we had to motor. The wind finally filled after 30 hours to provide a smooth sailing as we crossed the prime meridian, re-entering the western hemisphere. The scenery then became very interesting as we sailed through the oil fields. Large production platforms sat scattered about, their blazing flares dotting the horizon. We dutifully monitored the AIS when it showed their standby rescue boats getting underway. We held our fine broad reaching conditions all the way to Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands. After a day of visiting Stromness by bus to view the museum’s exhibit on Orkneyman, John Rae’s discovery of the NW Passage, we set sail for St. Catherine’s Bay on Stromsay Island. Our evening anchorage was surrounded by inviting rolling farmland. Excited to explore the island, we undertook a hitching foray to the Vat of Kribester; a dramatic stone arch on the other end of the island. Our next anchorage at Linklet Bay, on North Ronaldsay, was one that we’d both been keen on. We quickly launched the dinghy to gingerly land on the slippery stone pier built in 1853, for the construction of the tallest landbased lighthouse in the UK. Mark, the chairman of the island council, warmly greeted us with an invitation for a tour of the Alan Stevenson lighthouse and adjacent woolen mill. The mill came from Cape Breton and it allows the islanders to process the wool from their famous native sheep, a rare seaweed-eating breed. We offered Mark afternoon tea aboard and he met us back at our dinghy bearing gifts of the island’s lamb sausages made in Kirkwall to his recipe. Oh NO! Not only was the dinghy high and dry on kelp, but it was 150’ from the water! Mark’s solution was to take us on an island tour and give us the key to the museum where we

Anacortes:

Evolution of a Modern Maritime Mecca By Andy Schwenk

levels or approaches to craftsmanship, and you have a recipe that will keep a boatyard busy! The population has grown and the land space on an island remains finite. Add new businesses and increasing amounts of governmental intervention and regulation and, yes, the view of the waterfront is changing. But it is no less marine-centric. Anacortes was once the home of the largest cannery operations on the West Coast. The canneries were mostly located on the Guemes Channel and operated under many names. The salmon were numerous and the population was small, compared to today. The salmon population dwindled because of the construction of dams that limited water flow and access to spawning grounds (there are 432 currently in the state of Washington... actually, there’s one less now that the Elwha dam was recently removed). Habitat destruction, pollution, overfishing, and probably a few other things I’m forgetting led to the closure of the last Anacortes cannery in 1988. Other factors played a role in the closure of the canneries. Clarence Birdseye, who was instrumental in the popularity of frozen food, also had a hand in this. Processes used by fishing boats to keep fish fresh continue to evolve. Additionally, In Anacortes fishermen, perhaps some of the author’s 1974, trial judge George neighbors, tending nets.

ust as the boats we sail, cruise, and work aboard change over the years, so do the waterfront communities that serve them. Anacortes, WA, is one such town. Over the last twoscore years that I have lurked along the shore in and around the boatyards and marinas, I have witnessed many changes. Of course, these changes are just a few that the town on Fidalgo Island has experienced in its history. Amidst the development, the common thread has been marine industry. This month, Anacortes will host the new industry exhibition, the Anacortes Boat and Yacht Show. As a child, we had fisherman neighbors on three sides of us, so I really didn’t even have to leave my own backyard to start learning what boats were all about. One of the first things I noticed was that the fisherman worked on their boats a lot. That trait about boats certainly has not changed. Take saltwater, and add dissimilar materials, electricity, time, and varying

of 1855, and protected the Native American tribes’ right to co-manage salmon and other fish. Per the treaty, the tribes were guaranteed access to fish in their usual and accustomed places in perpetuity, and were entitled to half the fish caught in the Salish Sea. This also impacted the commercial fishing fleet and canneries. Concurrently with fishing and canneries, Anacortes grew as a lumber town, especially after the great earthquake, and resulting fires, in San Francisco in 1906. Logging operations stripped most of the San Juan Islands well into the 1930s, and then boat building for WWII took over. When I was kid around town in the 1970s, you could usually tell how long an oldtimer had been working in the mills by how many fingers he had left. The great building, which many folks think is an old blimp hanger, in Skyline Marina at the west end of town is actually an old lumber drying and sawing facility. The marina basin is a dredged out lagoon that the logs were rafted into. In the late 1980s, around the time the spotted owl became the symbol of controversy in the old growth forests of the Olympic peninsula, the last sawmill in Anacortes closed. Early boat building in Anacortes was carried out by the Croatian fishermen that immigrated here after WWII. First, it was wooden boats, then fiberglass, and now mostly aluminum or steel. Converting fish or tug boats to pleasure vessels caught on. The distinctive Ranger, Nordic, and American Tugs built locally are a direct result of this trend. More recently, multihulls, both power and sail (most famously Dogzilla, a trimaran built in

Anacortes for Larry Ellison’s BMW Oracle America’s Cup campaign in 2009), have taken their fare share of the craftsmen. Megayachts have also been built and launched here successfully; with one notorious exception being the Baaden, which capsized at her launching a few years ago. The video went viral. Integrated into the boat building industry and serving recreational and commercial vessels, a variety of boatyards were opened in Anacortes. Before they opened, families would careen the family yacht on the sandy shores of the island each spring and turn into the “Blue Man Group” as they sanded and painted the bottom. The days of the yards hauling out your boat and you giving the neighbor kids ice cream sandwiches to sand the bottom are mostly gone, except at Skyline Marina, which still has a do-ityourself yard. Environmental regulations have certainly altered the waterfront landscape. It’s hard to imagine today, but my first job at the marina was learning to drive a Ford tractor with three gears on the column, while

towing a waste oil tank that was used to spread oil around the parking lots to keep the dust down. That certainly wasn’t sustainable. Anacortes is no different from other American cities. Small, mom-and-pop boatyards have been sold out to waterfront condo developers.

low-cost of storage and economical round trip fees make keeping the boat in a dry yard sensible. As a city resident and Port of Anacortes tenant, I must give a shout out to our public marina, Cap Sante Boat Haven. The friendly staff, ultra clean facilities, free parking, and docks accessible to the public make it a virtual boat show every day. The marina boasts the most transient moorage slips in the state, and over 40 rendezvous every year choose this facility. From whale watching, kayak tours, and seafood sales, to some of my old neighbors’ grandkids mending nets, it’s all happening here in A-town. It’s a worthy stop whether you’re visiting by land or sea, and whether your boat needs professional marine service or not. The fact that old town, with all its shops and restaurants, is within walking distance makes it a fun cruising destination. You can provision at the Safeway across the street (for y’all history majors like myself, that Safeway opened on the day Mt.

Anacortes has had a great boat show for many years; yet, given its continued maritime magnetism, it is fitting that the Anacortes Marine Trades group is now partnering with the Northwest Marine Trade Association (who put on the Seattle Boat Show) to produce the first annual Anacortes Boat and Yacht Show. This expanded show represents Anacortes’ significance to the maritime industry today. The Anacortes Boat Show and Yacht Show will run May 17-20th, 2018. Maybe the tulips will still be in bloom, and maybe you’ll find a deal you just can’t pass up. Either way, this town of fishermen and fine folks is ready to welcome you.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

Liquid Sailors, like fisherman, can be a little boastful. Fishermen are better at it – complete with battle reenactment, culminating in outstretched arms indicating size. Really? One must wonder why fishermen rarely photograph their conquests. Sailors’ stories aren’t much different – a battle against the elements and with photographs! Of course, photographed waves appear small, so you have to double or triple the size to be accurate. Everybody knows this, really… Some boasting goes too far, and is more like a dig, gibe, or insult. For example, sailing purists, so called because they sail everywhere. Really? Lin and Larry Pardey come as close to sailing purists as anyone in the last 50 years. Going engineless eliminates temptation, and any doubt of their sailing purity...mostly. Lin and Larry’s inspiration and knowledge contributed enormously to cruisers that followed, so it’s easy accept minor transgressions. Indeed, any engineless purist that wouldn’t request a tow for that last miles into the anchorage after a long, hot day drifting around could be more poached than pure. Our sailing purist friends in Seychelles probably didn’t intend slight in their boast, “why didn’t you just sail her in? We sail into the anchorage all the time.” This, after we radioed for a dinghy tow into the anchorage half-amile away because our oil filter burst, rendering us engineless. I pointed out that wind oscillating between 0 (zero!) and 30 knot blasts on the nose made a very long ½ mile! They shrugged. I could’ve added a counter boast about our passage to Seychelles from Chagos. Roughly 1,031.27 nautical miles that we did in six-days with the aid of 1-pint of diesel. Their trip was near to three weeks because their route put them into 0 (zero!) wind; and motored so many hours that they had to flag down a passing ship to beg for more. Another crew inquired as to why Totem’s diesel appeared to be running when the wind dropped below 8 knots. In a light catamaran, they remained

unglued in light air. We get sticky and sometimes 3 knots of boatspeed just isn’t enough. On another day when navigating through a coral strewn atoll, they radioed ahead asking incredulously, “Is your engine on?” “Of course,” I said, “so we can maneuver around uncharted bommies.” A chuckling reply came back, “We’re sailing around them fine.” ‘Easy when you’re following,’ I thought, but didn’t say. Perhaps my favorite was the crew that boasted of cruising so long that they found a simple approach to cruising to be most satisfying, “just like Lin and Larry” without all the junk new cruisers have. In that moment, I really wanted to ask if their gas generator was running any better. They switched on navigation electronics, started the diesel engine, and engaged the transmission, just like Lin and Larry. A boast is, at its core, an expression of prideful accomplishment. As such, I confess to boasting now and then, being a sailor and all. Without the purity of some sailors (cough), I confess to antipurist boats and have picture proof. In Indonesia, it’s illegal for foreigners to purchase diesel fuel. The sole purpose is to be daunting, to weed out sailors with less fortitude.

Not really, but I recall hearing a sailor making this point in a grossly false boast. Mostly, the quirky diesel law proved a minor inconvenience. Fishermen, with outstretched arms, were always happy to sell us diesel from their onboard supply. One exception was in the small city of Jayapura on the north side of New Guinea. It’s a conflicted area with an ongoing, hidden, ethnic war. Foreigners arrived there only for mining, missionary, or military service. We didn’t fit the script. Clearing in was tedious and involved two lengthy interrogations by military colonels! Once cleared, a navy vessel patrolled Totem at anchor. Fun as that was, we were keen to get diesel and move on. The first guy we approached said okay, okay, okay, come back in two hours. When we met the fellow again, he had a change of heart and told us to go away without making eye contact. We had showered, so we didn’t understand the disconnect. This pattern followed with other suppliers over a few days. It turns out that secret police were following us and terminating any questionable business. There was one other cruising boat with us. A little desperate, our friend John and I dinghied around the harbor of wood and steel working vessels and found the only fiberglass recreational boat. After asking the crew about diesel, they got the boss to speak with us. He was an Indonesian

businessman that understood our predicament. After boasting of his friendship with the son of the Minister of Energy, he assured us diesel would be waiting when we came back – just after dark. Without knowing if diesel would be there or if this was a sting, we found the fading twilight was just the veil needed to get diesel flowing. Oddly, gasoline was straightforward to acquire. Dinghy into the fisherman’s dock and wait in line with other fisherman, all smoking. When it’s your turn, saddle up to a 500 gallon open tank of gasoline. Using a 5-liter scoop, an attendant plunges elbow deep into gasoline, then funnels it into jerry cans. Easy! The tiny country of Brunei is situated along the northwest coast of Borneo. Little about Brunei is inviting to cruisers – whether the mucky water or a more restrictive interpretation of Islam than its neighbors. Dirt-cheap diesel is what lures cruisers in. While there, being interested in new cultural experiences, we booked a tour of the capital city. Though a local guide seemed logical, Zahir, a jovial twentysomething from Qatar was very

persuasive, boasting that he was better. At the end of a satisfying tour, we employed Zahir’s help in a diesel fuel run. Strictly speaking, it was illegal for foreign sailor types to buy diesel, but this was unenforced – until recently, it turns out. Zahir and I set off to the station in a borrowed van loaded with jerry cans enough for 125 gallons. Pulling in, station attendants recognized Zahir. The moment wasn’t like seeing a friend, more like spotting a pickpocket in the crowd. They began waving us away and cursing when we didn’t pass. A wee bit nervously, I said to Zahir, “I don’t want to cause trouble.” He looked at me with a big smile saying, “No problem, don’t worry!” The whole scene was weird enough: a bundle of Brunei dollars in hand, in a van of unknown origin prepared to carry a lot of flammable fuel, assisted by a jolly Muslim Qatari man. Then Zahir dropped to his knees to beg for diesel on my behalf. The outcome was in play: would it be a simple shove off? Was there to be police? Out came one attendant’s cell phone. Then unexpectedly, the employees turned

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.

away in disgust. Zahir yelled for me to open the back quickly as he grabbed the diesel pump. In perfect synchronicity, we filled, capped, and loaded 25 jerry cans in a time that would make an Indianapolis 500 pit-crew envious. The money exchange was awkward for me, but persuasive Zahir never stopped smiling. Totem’s recent Panama Canal transit marked the homestretch to complete a circumnavigation. As much as we don’t like schedules, we had one. Our stop in Costa Rica was to wait for weather and, well, to take on a little diesel. The customs agent was a courteous, tedious “I” dotter and “T” crosser that couldn’t accept Behan as co-captain, being a woman and all. Intending to be there for a day or two only, we cleared in and out at the same time to expedite the process. For fuel top-up, we intended to use the taxito-fuel-station supply chain. It’s more work than the one fuel dock in the area, but the price per liter is considerably less. The taxi-diesel supply chain snagged on a technicality we’d not foreseen. The taxi driver asked for our papers and upon seeing our clearance he said the fuel station could not sell to us. Our supply onboard wasn’t too bad, but with average windspeed of approximately 0.00 (zero!), a little more diesel meant we might reach Chiapas, Mexico with more than vapors in the tank. Our anchorage neighbors were stunned at this news and quickly surmised our predicament. “How much do need?” they asked. Out came the jerry cans once again, and they happily sold us enough to complete the passage. The next morning, we were northbound ready to sail, motor-sail, or just power along as conditions allowed. Thanks to the cruising community; specifically, the fine people on a boat named Liquid. One final boast. On April 7, 2018, the Gifford family - Jamie, Behan, Niall, Mairen, and Siobhan - motored Totem in 0 (zero!) knots of wind into the bay at Zihuatenejo, Mexico to complete a circumnavigation.

he 2018 Anacortes Yacht Club Tulip Regatta was the story of two different regattas. Intentionally, the Saturday events were planned for a mid-distance race. Sunday was planned for rapid-fire buoy races with lots of starts and mark roundings. Little did we know in our planning that a wind storm of biblical proportion was setting up off the coast to potentially arrive on Saturday morning with the tail end dragging its feet through the day on Sunday. As the new race chair, I have never received so many weather app screen shots from so many people! We did not have the Tulipageddon that we feared, but we certainly had a spicy weekend of sailing! Several boats ventured out, and most but not all of them started the race. Of those boats, most but not all of them finished the race. Of those boats, most but not all of them had a honey-do list to complete before dinner. We started off Cap Sante rock, with a 30-40 knot slog up to the top of the bay. It was a white sail surf with reefs and storm jibs to Guemes Channel. Once in the channel, it was a pretty tame reach to Rosario and back with our reefs shook out. Back in the bay, we reduced to the smallest sail area possible while still making forward progress to the top of the bay and again, and quick ride to the finish. Absolutely everyone was a tad salty and soaked, but with big smiles to show for it! The evening ended with some boat work for most, Commodore Walt Meagher ’s delicious salmon dinner, a tribute to the legendary Pangaea on her 40th season and Tulip Regatta, and then the inevitable shenanigans around town. Sunday

Tulip Cup Close racing between “El Scorcho”, “Treachery”, “Wild Rumpus” and “Off Constantly.” was predicted to be much calmer, what could possibly go wrong! I’ll have you know that on Sunday morning, we woke up to the trees still blowing sideways. Shredded furlers in the marina were still whistling, just a slightly duller tune. I was glad to have picked up one more crew the night before! We still ran the reef lines, but didn’t leave the dock reefed. We rigged the #3, but not the storm jib. It was blowing, but in a more civilized sort of way. Charley and the RC crew rattled off five double-lap races in the bay, with the most consistent south easterly I’ve ever seen. By the end of the day we had all resolved to spend more time at the gym! Sailmakers, riggers, and chandleries will be busy for a while, and a good time was had by all. The weekend ended with chili dogs, of course, and prizes for many, including some all-star volunteers. In the Viper fleet, Garret Johns and the Kaa crew

finished on top. Division 1 was won by Dave Steffen’s Vitesse, even after fixing a broken backstay on Saturday afternoon. The mostly Santa Cruz 27 Division 2 was won by Wild Rumpus, and Division 3 was won by Jerry Vanderveen and Commodore Walt in Syndicat. However the family program aboard Hitched won the two races that they could safely complete with two little girls and one big breeze. Division 4 featured Betsy Wareham and her Martin crew on the far safer and more comfortable Whiffler. A huge thank you goes out to the army of volunteers that made it all happen safely, and with delicious food and awesome trophies to boot!

Carol Pearl Blakely Rock Benefit Race

or several days leading up to the Carol Pearl Blakely Rock Benefit Race, it was uncertain how much sailing would be done. Reading weather forecasts, gusts up to 50 knots were being predicted. The Cliff Mass Weather Blog was almost apocalyptic in tenor. An atmospheric river – one of the strongest ever seen – was on its way. Adding to that, a strong marine cyclone off the Washington coast – the perfect storm was brewing. “Shannon Renner and I received many calls from participants asking about the possibility of cancelling the race,” recalls race committee chair Mark Jackson. “We discussed possible contingency plans, but let participants know three things: 1) We would wait to see how the forecast evolved, 2) we would evaluate the actual conditions on race day, and 3) It’s the responsibility of each skipper to decide to race or to continue racing. The reactions from skippers ranged from immediately cancelling plans to race, to ‘ok, that sounds like normal operating procedure’.” Arriving at the dry yard the morning of the race, conditions did not seem to be materializing as dire or stormy as predicted. After the early morning raffle and breakfast, sailors headed to their vessels. As most sailors must do whenever departing the dock, a choice had to be made based on the conditions 50

For Andrew Nelson, the Youth Sailing Director at The Sailing Foundation, not only was he present for the fundraising aspect of the event, he and some junior sailors had the opportunity to sail on the mighty Ocelot, of Race to Alaska fame. “I was out on Ocelot with a couple other junior sailors. For both of them it was their first time on a big boat - Corrine, age 13, from Gig Harbor, and Ripley, age 16, from Tacoma. Ripley hit top speed on Ocelot at 15.5kts driving in 20+ knots of wind with the A2 up. Pretty cool to see what she’s learned on the 29er translate directly to Ocelot.” The race started in front of the Shilshole Marina break wall in around 10 knots of southeasterly wind funneling down the ship canal. As it was the beginning of the ebb tide, boats tended to sail up under West Point as far as possible, braving the strong eau d’ Seattle wafting “Poke & Destroy” off the treatment facility, approaching before nosing out into the Blakely Rock. adverse current. Once out of the protection of West Point, yachts plotted a beeline toward the eastern shore of Bainbridge Island to meet the incoming southwesterly. Though everyone managed to keep clear while rounding Blakely Rock, sailing around it was not easy. The breeze blowing off the shore of Bainbridge Island made for

at the time, and hedge that with the probability for how the conditions would change. That calculation is a little different for everyone, but for the 60 participating boats that morning, heading out to sail the benefit regatta was the right choice. It was a great Northwest morning for a sail: cloudy skies, temperature in the mid-fifties, and 15-20 knots of wind from the south with occasional rain. There could not be a more typical April day on the Salish Sea. The benefit regatta is a yearly event organized by the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club to raise money for a local charity. This year ’s benefactor (for the second year in a row) was The Sailing Foundation – an organization supporting sailing and the development of youth sailing in the Northwest. At the time of writing, the funds raised by this event are still being tallied.

extra gusty and shifty conditions - a handful for most boats. The run back to Shilshole was a well-earned downhill after the beat to weather. The wind built to around 20 knots bringing the flotilla swiftly home. Many of the faster boats reported hitting top speeds of 15 knots or more. An exciting ride for all! The celebration at the Sloop Tavern included awards and an evening raffle

West Vancouver Yacht Club

S o ut her n S t r a i t s

he 50th running of the Southern Straits Race by West Vancouver Yacht Club was a roaring success thanks to the usual fantastic organization by the Chair of the event and, of course, the return of sunshine on race day! Every few years the event takes in a new race course which adds to the challenge and provides new scenery. The circuit chosen this year had Ballenas Island as the first mark for the Long, Medium, and Short courses, which, given the forecast, would mean most of the day would be upwind in a 10-17 knot westerly. Not every year have the conditions cooperated like this year and leading up to the race, WVYC held a few prerace “Pub Nights” to get the sailors in the mood. Here, previous race conditions, perils at sea, and notable tactical decisions were passed on from some of the notable veterans of the past 50 years of Straits races. Looking back through time, sailboats now get around the course faster for sure, but I’m not sure if we are any more hardened 50 years later. We can rely on our GPS, tactical software apps, ‘tracking’ and the automated 52

weather reporting versus “the good old day’s” Decca RDF and the vast amounts of paper charts and their requisite dividers! Dealing with the start at The Straits is always an interesting affair as Easter Friday start normally coincides with a fast running ebb tide running out of English Bay. If timed incorrectly, it can lead to being swept across the line early. The tactical conundrum for us was planning our exit from English Bay to take advantage of both the new wind and the conveyor belt of current running westward; and from there deciding when to take the long starboard tack over towards Vancouver Island. Normally, there’s a little more wind and a favourable wind shift on the Island side but this year ’s forecast models showed more wind in the middle of Georgia Strait. Indeed, it benefitted those that worked that strategy. Once around Ballenas Island, the spinnaker slide downwind was ‘Champagne sailing’ - 12-16 knots of wind, little sea, and a beautiful sunset followed by a full moon! For the long course boats, the next turning mark at the “TA Bouy” was 35nm southeast and the tactic of the evening was to gybe May 2018

on the shifts but more importantly, stay in the best pressure. The second half of the Long Course had the wind slowly drop off, but the sun came up and shone until the finish! When the dust settled, first place overall in ORC went to Bill Fox’s team on the beautiful and always well sailed J/160 Jam from Gig Harbor. Second, and first Long course boat across the line, was Peter McCarthy’s TP 52, The Shadow II, from West Vancouver in her debut race under his command. Vic Bishop and his 1D48, Ha a’ Koa, rounded out the podium. The PHRF fleet battle for the top ended up between the Riptide 41, Blue (hailing all the way from Milwaukee), and its baby sister, Peter Salusbury’s Longboard, a Riptide 35. Both Paul Bieker-designed, Jim Bettsbuilt boats have won their classes in previous years and being matched up in the same class gave the pundits something to wager over. In the end, Michael Schoendorf’s Blue came away the victor and rounding out the top three was Alex Simanis’s team on their Evelyn 32, Poke & Destroy. The forecasted westerly was expected to die off after 3:00am,

was Scott Shaw-MacLaren and Brian Isaacs sailing their J/30, Natural High, double-handed. Southern Straits has been encouraging teams who wish to sail two-up to enter the race and this year seven teams rose to the challenge. Also, I might add not a bad way to maintain job security and stay warm wrestling sails! Although trailing Will Philipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CY 9.0, Incisor, across the line by six minutes, Huntly Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team on Flyaway easily corrected to first place in Division 5 with third place going to Benoit Sonrel and his team on XS. In division 6, the hands-down

-V-Y-

winner was the popular Silik team, with skipper Wade Harrogate linking the puffs all the way, allowing his C&C 30 the overall win for the short course as well. In second was team Princesa, a Ranger 30 from Deep Bay, closely followed by Graham Heathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Windward 30, Pitoraq, from Esquimalt, B.C. With 2018â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition under our belts, we all look forward to next year â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race with the novel course and conditions itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring. by Ross Macdonald photo courtesy of Wildman WVYC results on page 58

which meant the majority of the 73nm Short Course fleet would get most of the way back to the finish at Point Atkinson under spinnaker before they would park-up and wait to negotiate with the northerly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Squamishâ&#x20AC;? wind to propel them to the finish once it had began to filter out of Howe Sound. Back on the Medium Course, our fleet sped off downwind for a one-gybe run into Entrance Island off Nanaimo, and then proceeded upwind again to Ballenas in great breeze before turning for the finish in the remains of the westerly. Being the first race on our boat Daia, we made our best guesses at how to sail the boat from various ancient tuning guides, YouTube videos, and old marks on the sheets and halyards all which proved extremely helpful! Unfortunately, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t another boat that had a similar PHRF rating to guage performance with, so we formulated our game plan based on wind and current strategy and then proceeded to cross our fingers. Often, we were looking behind with envy at the epic battle going on between the various boats in and around 35â&#x20AC;&#x2122; such as the J-109â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, J-35â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Beneteau 36.7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the eventual overall winner, Jason Vandergaagâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team on the Schock 35, Excalibur. Jasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning tip reminds us of how the seconds and minutes can quickly go down the gurgler sailing an overnighter.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best call of the race was probably choosing to sail in lock step with Serendipity (J-109) for much of the third leg so that we would have a visible marker to keep the pace and point as sharp as possible in the dark.â&#x20AC;? Placing second in PHRF 3 was Jim Johannesenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beneteau 36.7, Intuition, from Bellingham, followed by Richard Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s X-119, Dominatrix, from Vancouver. In PHRF 2, we managed to squeek out a win over Tom Sitar â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Serendipity, from Vancouver, with its sistership, Mark Hansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mojo team closely following in third. In PHRF 4, Phillip Wampoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zaff team began their quest to wrest the Pacific Cup with the win onboard their J/92, closely followed by 2014 Straits winners Ty Abrams & Jay Hofmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team aboard their Davidson 29, Kodiak.

ver 50 boats raced in eight classes in the Puget Sound Spring Regatta Big Boat Division, held by the Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle on April 21 and 22. Although warm, summer weather didn’t arrive until a few days after the event, there was much to celebrate at the awards party, least of all the sunshine and solid breeze on the second day of racing. Compared with the multiple postponements and frequent resetting of the marks on Saturday, Sunday saw clear skies and a persistent northerly in the mid-to-high teens. For the many crews who last sailed their proper course to the mark in the fall, it turned out to be a great weekend to return to buoy racing in the Sound. It was especially festive for the local J/80 fleet, which had the most

boats registered of the four One Design classes in the regatta (the others were the Melges 24, San Juan 24 and J/105). In 2015, only two J/80s were registered for PSSR; this year the class had nine boats participating. What’s more, PSSR was the fleet’s West Coast Championship. “The J/80 North American Class Association recognized the phenomenal growth we’ve had and agreed that Seattle was the right spot to host this year ’s West Coast Championship,” said Bryan Rhodes, the local fleet captain. Bryan’s Crazy Ivan took first place in the championship, winning the title in the last ten seconds of the final race by forcing a tie-breaker with second place winner and new J/80 owner, John Sezer, on Reckless. “I’m very

glad to have chosen this fleet and I’m thankful for the warm welcome,” said John. Rounding out the podium in the J/80 West Coast Championship was Idaho-based Mike Gridley on Raven. “I’ve raced at other venues on the West Coast and what sets Seattle apart is the helpful support of local racers and the variety of well-run events,” said Mike. “Throw in the spectacular scenery, the currents, and the occasional big winds and it’s a place we always look forward to racing at.” Teams from Oregon, Montana and Canada also raced in other classes during the regatta. Mike has advice for visiting crews, including not running out of gas while towing your boat. “If you do, make sure you are on the downhill side of Snoqualmie Pass so you can coast into a gas station.” Five of the seven J/80s who raced in the regatta took at least one bullet, attesting not only to the appeal of One Design racing, but also to the friendly, inclusive, and supportive environment that the fleet has actively fostered. When we have conflicting interpretations of racing rules, we try to work things out at the dock afterward and use it as an opportunity to learn. The fleet is expected to grow even more in the coming year, with at least two other J/80 owners recently relocating to the area.

Knowledge of the rules certainly came in handy during the regatta, especially with the short starting lines and big spring tide. From the committee boat to the starting pin, “that line was only 20 seconds long for us,” said Ken Chin on Kowloon. This made for even more intense competition, like getting a pop quiz from the race committee. In the other One Design classes, the first-place trophies went to David Brede on 12 Happy Thoughts, who dominated the Melges 24 class; Kenneth Johnson on Grauer Geist, who

Corinthian Yacht Club Seattle

T h r e e T r e e P oi nt R ac e

n March 24, the Corinthian Yacht O Club of Seattle hosted the third and final race of the Center Sound

Series. It was another fluctuating forecast, this time with the possibility of snow! Nobody wants to drift slowly backward, shivering in their foulies! However, we were all prepared to do just that. After a successful Alternative Scatchet Head Race, we were hoping for a change of course. Those of us with our vhf radios turned on at the dock had an early warning that change was afoot. In fact, KDQW was on the board. The course was Blakely Rock, Duwamish Head, temporary North mark, West Point, and Finish, with a fly-by of the finish on the way north in the middle. Perfect! There was a crisp southerly at the start, hitting the dreaded 12 knot true wind range which is neither ideal #1 or #2 conditions. Solidifying my popularity on board Bravo Zulu, I called for the #1 because it was supposed to lighten up, and then before we ever hoisted it, called for the #2. But it wasn’t getting a LOT windier and it’s no good to be underpowered, so called for the swap back to the #1, all before we even started the race! So hard to choose! We stuck with the #1 all day after that, although there were times when it really should have been the #2. With a massive ebb for the entirety of the race, the strategy out of the gate was the typical pin end start, 56

bee-line to the breakwater, short tack to West Point, and then cross to Bainbridge. On the Bainbridge side of the Sound, it was a chess game to stay in the breeze on the lifted tack, while ducking out of current and away from aircraft carriers, tug boats, and ferries, oh my! For the third time out of three in the series, our friend Ken Chin on the mighty Olsen 911, Kowloon, rounded the top mark clear ahead of the next boat in the pack! Special props to the Kowloon crew who helped him pull that off all three times, and who also learned of the joys of a hearty welltimed “wooooohoooooo!” On the reach from Blakely Rock to Duwamish Head, you could maybe, probably, mostly, hold a kite! The early boats were tentative about it, but once they hoisted, most of us behind them followed suit. The ORC giants wisely opted out, and most if not all of the J/105’s held their kites all the way, rock stars in our zip code like Here & Now and Madrona kept kites up around the mark, and almost everyone in the PHRF fleets gave it a go! Most, but not all, of the kites came back down around Alki Point; and most, but not all, in one piece. After the turn at Duwamish, it was a close reach that turned into a run out in the Sound back through the finish line and further north. Boats that held kites through the Duwamish gybe got style points, but maybe got hung a little deep May 2018

into Elliott Bay. With the ebb in our favor, you wanted to get back out into the deep water for the quick trip to the North mark. After rounding, it was back to the beach and the sooner the better. The sailing gods aboard Bill Buchan’s Sachem made this obvious to us after we got pinned out longer than we wanted and they quickly took back the lead. More short tacking up the beach ensued, with more time spent along the Shilshole breakwater, careful not to pass through the entrance markers of the Ship Canal, and back to West Point for the final turn. By the last run to the finish, it was warm and sunny and time to celebrate a great day on the water. With sunshine and 10-20 knots of breeze all day, it was just plain epic and easily a million times better than the worst case scenario that we all feared. A good time was had by all! The clubhouse was packed with thirsty, happy sailors, and trophies were presented for the day and the series. PRO Charley Rathkopf auctioned off his newly iconic ponytail with help from his daughter Grace. They made $700 for youth sailing, and Elishia VanLuven of Here & Now took home the prize! Center Sound Series turned over a new leaf this year, one that I think we all hope will stick! story and photo by Stephanie Schwenk results on page 58

P uget S ound S pring R egatta S mall B oats A reasonable sized 505 fleet, J/24s, Hobies, and Aeros, and one Laser, braved inclimate weather for both days of the PSSR Small Boat at CYC. There were also three Stars sailing, but after Dave Watt bent his mast, the fleet called it a regatta for Sunday. Carl and Jaime Buchan won the class while also exchanging positions. Jay Windberg, the sole Laser hold out, joined the Aeros. The weather kept the class sizes down and the largest fleet was 10 Aeros, which was competitive as usual and had four different race winners: Dan Faulk with his new boat (he christened boat this weekend), Jonathan Mckee at this first event, along with Todd Willsie and myself. There is a fleet boat that is free to try, and this time it was Mike Karas who didn’t quite win, but had a couple of second place finishes. Jim Barrett is also a new fleet member and showed great speed at times at his first event. The Aero fleet is building and excited to have the Pacific Coast Championships this summer on the Columbia River Gorge. The J/24 starts were loud as ever with those huge genoes ragging and lots yelling. Hair Of the Dog won pretty convincingly. Kate Chandler battled it out with Mats and Brent Campbell in the front of the fleet. Mats Elf won, but is having difficulty registering. Ethan Salkind swept the classic Hobie 18 class. by Dalton Bergan results on page 59 59

Interlude

Discovery 55 • 2007 • $650,000 The Ron Holland-designed Discovery 55 sets a high benchmark in the luxury, push-button cruising yacht category. The interior layout is brilliant with a raised dinette, pilot station, large passageway galley, full beam aft owner’s stateroom, bunk room, and VIP guest stateroom. A walk-in engine room allows superb machinery access. The light maple interior and large salon windows make the interior bright and airy. Interlude spent most of her life in the eastern Mediterranean with light seasonal use and on-land storage until November of 2017 when she participated in the ARC Rally to the Caribbean. Accordingly, her condition is excellent when compared to sisterships that have circumnavigated as is their want and capability. All new electronics in 2017.
