Sailing Video: Room for Improvement It’s easy to cast aspersions... Who couldn’t improve? I certainly could. Yet, I have a bit of a gripe. Recently, I have found myself commiserating with a few of sailors about the state of sailing video coverage. There are exceptions, to be sure: some cruisers produce fun, informative, and entertaining YouTube channels; there has been really exciting event coverage associated with things like the Race to Alaksa or the TP52 Super Series; and, in my opinion, the gold standard is still the free YouTube-stream of every race of the 2013 Amercia’s Cup (the big Oracle comeback in San Francisco and all the World Series events). Not included in this discussion are the sailing vids put out by your buds on social media; those can be super entertaining. What has been leaving me wanting is the average sailing video that you might come across on social media or YouTube. Here’s my theory... Too much sailing coverage tells us too little about sailing and instead looks like an advertisement for an event or for sailing itself. Sweet background music, slick slow-mo in the “B-roll,” and rapid edits from cut to cut, all packaged in a tight two minutes - none of this tells even people who are sailingsavvy anything very specific, and it’s certainly not much of an opportunity to learn. I think it can be way better. And I want more. Can you imagine if the coverage of a football game was just a few beautifullyedited minutes of bumpin’ background music, slow-mo shots, and a couple of impressive looking cuts of throws, runs, or tackles? It would be weird to see football coverage with no storylines, no information given about how the game unfolded or why tension built, no description of a big-play that changed the momentum or information about why the best team won (if the video even tells you who won). I’m never going to play offensive line in the NFL, but I still appreciate when a commentator explains and illustrates how and why a lineman applied a particularly proficient block that opened up a running lane for a touchdown. My increased knowledge increases my interest. We can do this with sailing too. Too many sailing videos lack substance. Extraordinary sailing video can speak for itself (think Alex Thompson’s Hugo Boss in the Southern Ocean and the drone footage from the most recent Volvo Ocean Race). But what if even that breathtaking video told more of a story? What if it helped illuminate what makes these sailors so good at what they do, what the experience is like on board, or why even the world’s best sailors find this kind of sailing so exciting? It could give more sailing-specific information about motivations behind sail-choice or trim, what’s it like to steer that boat in those conditions, the weather forecast and how it informs a sailor’s approach, a strategic play at stake with navigation or tactics, or it could illuminate things sailor is learning about the boat and how it needs to be sailed? I don’t race in the Southern Ocean, but it will make me more excited about sailing if I can understand more about how knowledgeable person does. In addition to the worry about missing the informative, engaging story, there’s another problem: as modern content consumers, we are extremely proficient at making snap judgments to determine whether something is chosen content or an ad, and we move quickly past ad-style content to get to the “good stuff.” If the good stuff looks like an ad, I am more likely to move on right away. I think sailing video is reflective of too many choices being made on behalf of perceived marketing benefit, when those choices should be made for sailing benefit. Of course, covering sailing is extremely hard. Sailing videographers and commentators don’t have the luxury of a controlled environment or a good vantage point to identify what is happening on the water. There are a ton of variables, and it’s tough to know whether the audience has any knowledge base. Nonetheless, there are too many missed opportunities to share knowledge, information, and excitement about sailing via video coverage. More effective, informative, enjoyable video can, and should, grow the sport. And I hope it does. I’ll see you on the water, Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North 6

WE TRADE BAGS FOR SAILS AND WILL PICK UP OR PAY FOR SHIPPING!
Winter Sailing? Hi Joe, I usually do a 100 mile sailing cruise throughout the San Juans in August, and sail year around in Idaho - rain, sleet, and snow. I was wondering about sailing Lake Union and also out of Shilshole Bay Marina in January. Is it doable? Thanks, Pete “Winter Sky” Zimowsky Boise, ID Hi Pete! Thanks for your note. Winter sailing is most certainly doable in January out of Shilshole and Lake Union. There are days when it wouldn’t really be advisable, as big storms can bring breeze in the 30s or even the 40-knot range. I sail year ‘round, and as long as you have adequate gear, it can be fabulous! (Editor’s note: this question and conversation led to me ask Pete about the winter sailing he does in Idaho, and paved the way for his article about it on page 36.)

Dear Joe, Congratulation to you and Kaylin! I was going through the October issue of 48° North and there buried on page 54 was your lead story! My best wishes to you both for a long and happy marriage. To share in the celebration, I’m enclosing an original miniature water color painting that I painted back on May 6 (which happened to be the 70th anniversary of the day I joined the US Navy and embarked on a three-year tour of sea duty). I’ve titled the painting “Silver Girl.” Perhaps when you get your boat, you can take it to sea. I know you’ve charted an adventuresome, joy-filled course and that your compass is accurate and solid. You’re off on a wonderful journey.

Wedding Bells! Two members of the 48° North family got married this month (yes, this is the second 48°N wedding in two months)! Our fabulous utility player in the office, Benjamin Harter, who does everything from Classifieds to Bookkeeping, is the handsome devil on the right. Fans of the magazine may recognize former Classified and Advertising Sales guru, Calla Ward (now Harter), as the beautiful bride. These two are incredible, adventurous people and a perfect match; and we’re all truly happy for them to be starting a new chapter in their shared story. Also, these two are such boaty liveaboards that the wind (20 knots or more) attended their ceremony in County Cork. Congratulations, Benjamin and Calla!

Dear Joe, Karen, and 48° North Readers, If you’re thinking about a charitable donation at the end of this year, I hope you’ll consider making an impact in a kid’s life by contributing to a youth sailing foundation. Support youth, parents, and mentors who are passionate about helping kids get out on the water, where they can learn both sailing skills and vital life skills. There are numerous local organizations working hard on this in the Pacific Northwest. It will be a huge investment in tomorrow’s sailors! Multihulls are my area of interest. In that realm, there is the Hobie Youth Sailing Education Foundation (HYSEF), which provides grants to youth to compete in the Hobie Cat on the national or international level; as well as the newly-launched Multihull Youth SAIL Foundation (MY SAIL), which supports programs in all multihulls, including Nacras, F-16s, and F-18s, as well as Hobie Cats.

Sadly, on the evening of October 6, 2018, Bob Crookes’ ‘ship of life’ went hard aground. He suffered a fatal stomach flip and went to the ‘great unknown’ while in his bed and the arms of his most faithful human, me. That day and before, he had a perfect day feeling great and being called a “good dog!” countless times. His suffering was quite brief. Bobdog was born in 2008 and spent an epic life bringing thousands of smiles, owning 5 acres, and performing deckpaw duties aboard the M/V San Juan Enterprise. One of his strengths was acting as ‘ rail meat ‘ on his Westsail 32, he would automatically take the high side upon tacking, he lived on the ‘high side’ of life! Bob was preceded in death by his sweet mother, Phoebe Crookes. He is survived by sister Paulie, niece Hazel, and Dan, Jean, Liz Crookes... his people. In lieu of flowers, please get down tell your loved ones - be they canine, feline, or of the human variety - that you appreciate this time together, and give them a big hug. Dan Crookes Anacortes, WA Our deepest sympathies to you and you family, Dan. We are an office full of animal lovers, and your note really got to us. There’s nothing much better in this world than a good boat dog, nor anything much tougher than losing one. Sail on, Bob! www.48North.com

National Sailing Hall Of Fame 2018 Inductees The National Sailing Hall of Fame (NSHOF) today announced the six people who will make up its 2018 class of inductees: famed yachting cinematographer John Biddle (Philadelphia, Penn./Jamestown, R . I . ) ; t h re e - t i m e S o l i n g Wo r l d Champion, Brazilian-American Olympian Vince Brun (San Diego, Calif.); and shipbuilder and naval architect William Webb (New York, N.Y.). Three additional Inductees are being recognized with the NSHOF Lifetime Achievement Award: the l a t e G re e k - A m e r i c a n s h i p p i n g magnate and veteran offshore sailor, George Coumantaros (New York, N.Y.); businessman, noted maritime memorabilia collector and 1992 America’s Cup winner, Bill Koch (Palm Beach, Fla./Osterville, Mass.); and 1975 Star World Champion 12
Ding Schoonmaker (Naples, Fla./ Watch Hill, R.I.), who was not only instrumental in the founding of the US Sailing Center in Miami but also was a tireless advocate for the sport through his involvement with the national governing body, as well as the International Sailing Federation, now known as World Sailing, of which he served two terms as Vice President.The members of the class of 2018 join 65 previously-recognized individuals as the National Sailing Hall of Fame continues to fulfill its mission by drawing attention and recognition to Americans who have made outstanding contributions to the sport of sailing. This group of inductees are shining examples for sailing’s next generation,” said Gary Jobson, President of the NSHOF. “The NSHOF is proud to recognize the legacy of November 2018
www.48North.com
these contributors, by preserving and sharing their stories.” Inductees are American citizens, 45 years of age or older, who have made significant impact on the growth and development of the sport in the U.S. in the categories of Sailing, Technical/Design and Contributor (coach, administrator, sailing media). Nominations of non-citizens were also considered if they influenced the sport in the U.S., and posthumous nominations were also accepted. The undertaking to recognize Americans who have made outstanding contributions to the sport of sailing is central to the mission of the NSHOF which was formed in 2005 and has completed phase one of its plan to establish a permanent facility on the historic waterfront of Annapolis, Maryland. The Lifetime Achievement Award inducts an American citizen, 55 years of age or older, who has had consistent involvement in sailing for a majority of his or her life and had success in the sport while also becoming successful and achieving noteworthy stature in a non-sailing career. The 2018 class was formally celebrated on November 11, 2018, with an Induction Ceremony hosted at Lauderdale Yacht Club, Fort Lauderdale.

The Port of Bremerton will welcome James Weaver into the role of Director of Marine Facilities. Weaver has been working in the Kitsap community for the past 15 years, primarily as a planner for Kitsap County, City of Port Orchard and City of Bainbridge. His career in public service has been instrumental in improving seaside communities and bringing successful
waterfront projects from concept to construction. Weaver ’s goals for his new position at the Port include working closely with Port staff as well as the local communities on future marina improvements, “What I hope to bring to the Port of Bremerton is an opportunity to employ my knowledge, my experience, and my energy to benefit the Port, our shared waterfront,
and our shared communities. I look forward to joining a terrific team in working toward exciting future economic, recreation, and sustainable projects for the public. Having been a lifelong boater and having a career focused on waterfronts, I feel I can bring a passion to this position that is unique. I am grateful every day for the incredible place we live and understand the importance and power of helping others succeed while we work together for the future,” commented Weaver.

Antarctic icebergs are bigger than Arctic icebergs. Like fingerprints, no two icebergs are the same. There are six basic shapes of icebergs: blocky, dome, drydock, pinnacle, tubular, and wedge. Some icebergs can remain intact for years. Icebergs carry with them earth and rocks obtained in their glacier state, and sometimes transport seeds and even animals great distances. Antarctica is the only place where green icebergs occur.
Maritime Trivia by
B ryan H enry The science of oceanography was born with the voyage of the HMS Challenger Expedition because it was the first systematic governmentsponsored expedition entirely dedicated to scientific exploration of the oceans.
Lowtide The 1872-1876 famous British Challenger Expedition, is thought to have taken the first photographs of Antarctic icebergs. NASA named both the 1972 Apollo 17 lunar module and its second space shuttle, Challenger, after the HMS Challenger. In 1985, the gaping Antarctic ozone hole was discovered, which is now more than three times larger than the land area of the United States.
More speed. Less drag.
The shapes of icebergs, like clouds, can resemble animals, buildings, castles, etc. Icebergs can drift in ocean currents for years. Smaller icebergs whose top portions lurk barely above water’s surface are known as growlers because of the sound emitted as air escapes the ice. Icebergs can weigh hundreds of millions of tons. The compressed ice and snow in icebergs can be hundreds of thousands of years old. Icebergs aren’t composed of frozen salt water, but are born on land and consist of fresh water. Melting glaciers and icebergs make a fizzing sound called bergy seltzer. Blue stripes will form in icebergs when water fills cracks in the ice and then freezes. The Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, the deepest spot in the oceans, was named after the expedition’s ship. The M/S Explorer, an Antarctic cruise ship, collided with an iceberg and sank in November 2007.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
Summer 2018 saw a new and expanding threat to the Salish Sea from what is listed as one of the world’s 100 “worst” alien invasive species, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Invasive Species Specialist Group. The European Green Crab is about the size of your fist with a shell that’s 3.5” wide. These little guys probably came to our neighborhood on a freighter and, once established, they could become a real threat to several of our favorite fisheries. Primarily, they compete with Dungeness crabs for habitat. Like other shellfish, these crabs develop in several stages before a final moult to juvenile crabs. During several stages of larvae, they drift with the current. As adults, they prefer warmer shorelines and bays where they can hide among seaweed. They become voracious predators - try to pick one up and you’ll understand why immediately. Teams of volunteers
have been conducting trapping surveys, which is why we know about all of this. European Green Crabs have been found now for some years at Makah Bay, Sooke Harbour on Vancouver Island and more recently at Dungeness Spit. Now they’ve been trapped in the San Juan Islands, Port Townsend Bay at Kala Point, and even Lagoon Point on Whidbey Island. They’re tough to catch and tend to stay clear of traps, so it’s fair to say many more are out there. What this means is that citizen spies are needed - a Coastal Defense against this invader! As sailors, we love our marine ecosystem (and eating fresh crab for dinner). Learn to recognize this bad boy (and girl) or report a sighting by visiting https://wsg.washington.edu/crabteam. It’s important. The Dungeness or rock crab you enjoy today could be gone tomorrow.

The Tougher Choice
“Sailing through the Arctic is hard, yes. But it turns out that not sailing through the Arctic is even harder.”
By Becca Guillote
S
ailing through the Arctic is tough, there is no doubt about that. The winds blow hard and cold, ripping across Siberia unimpeded by any significant topography (or even trees). The route ahead is often choked with slabs of ice, swirling unpredictably with invisible currents. The charts are inaccurate at best, showing 30 feet of depth when there is only 10, or a small sliver of sand where there is a two-mile long island. The depths are grippingly insufficient for a converted racing sailboat that requires ten feet of water. It often snows, even in August. Standing watch is intense and humbling in the face of ice mazes and dense fog. Sailing through the Arctic is exhilarating and nerve-wracking and incredibly tough. For a month, DogBark! picked her way through the arctic with careful attention from her crew of six, ranging in age from nine years to adult. On the days we could make progress, we spent our time weaving through fields of ice, squinting into the freezing fog (an actual weather condition in which the water that is suspended in the air and blocking all visibility freezes, then the wind or boat movement spits these sharp icy crystals at your face).
20
There were many days that precluded forward progress, either because of high winds or ice conditions (or often both). On these days, we hid from steep abrupt wind chop behind almost imperceptible slivers of sand called “islands” and played hours of card games with the heater cranked up while awaiting the next report that would show clear water instead of clogs of ice ahead of us. But that report didn’t come. The days ticked by. As our stockpile of vegetables (and bread and milk and coffee and peanut butter) dwindled, so did our optimism. We did the math on how quickly we would have to go, assuming we could break through the ice barrier defiantly blocking our passage into Canada, to transit the 1,500 miles still ahead in order to reach Greenland before the gnarly Atlantic winter storms set in. With each passing day, our chances of sailing through the Northwest Passage diminished, even faster than our coffee supply. Sailing through the Arctic is hard, yes. But it turns out that not sailing through the Arctic is even harder. Our self-imposed turnaround date loomed on the calendar like a lurking monster November 2018

under the bed; easy to ignore in the bright bustling day, but impossible to avoid in the dim quiet hours of anxiety and frustration. It was the evening of the in-between day – the day after deciding on our (still hypothetical) alternate route if we were unable to proceed and the day before our looming lurking self-imposed turnaround date – that the last blows to our optimism struck in three brief emails. The first contained the updated report that showed no improvement in the barricade ahead of us. The second was an official statement from the Canadian Coast Guard advising pleasure craft to avoid transiting the waterways of the Northwest Passage this season due to unusually high concentrations of ice. The third was a note from our advisor confirming what the first two had dispassionately conveyed; the season was closing in and 12 of the 18 boats attempting the passage from either end had turned back while three more were perilously caught in ice floes. With our nerves frayed from waiting and hoping and defending our anchor chain from menacing slabs of ice; with dramatic tales from other
boats of gut-wrenching nights spent caught between a literal rock and hard ice sheet; with the probability of a completed passage rapidly deteriorating; we made the decision to turn back. I thought the waiting and the ice navigating and the anxiety of not knowing was hard, until the reality of defeat plowed over me like a Mack truck. We were turning around. I cried as I went to bed that night and again the next morning as we hauled the anchor and turned our back on the stubborn barricade to the east that had beleaguered us for so long. I was devastated. But as we retreated, rounding Point Barrow and sailing south quickly in the strong autumn winds of the Bering Sea, distance offered better perspective and my grief and devastation slowly – slowly – melted into relief. It became increasingly clear as we shed layers of clothes and regret with the decreasing latitude that we had made the right decision. The ice did not yield a path across the border of Alaska and Canada on the west side; and stayed thick and determined all through Franklin Strait on the east side. A few boats held tight,
still hoping for a late season melt, and some of them got into trouble with the ice. We suffered with them, their hope and anxiety and fear and optimism palpable through our own experiences. It had been the hardest choice we could have made. But we made it, and we stuck to it. I am still recovering from the disappointment, fighting down the little voice that whispers regret and failure at me in the quiet moments, but visions of warm, clear lagoons and lush tropical hillsides and juicy, fresh pineapples aid in my recovery. Because we have new goals and expectations now. We are trading in our puffy jackets and wool socks and fleece blankets for bathing suits and snorkels and gallons of sunscreen. We are sailing to Hawaii. Instead of ruminating on our “failed” attempt to transit the Northwest Passage, we have realigned our ambitions with the opportunities before us. It is not a silver lining or a conciliation, but a new journey entirely; a different adventure. Life is dotted with these moments of choice, and the best options are often obscured by emotions, pride, fear and our inability to predict the future. On
Eventually, the ice wasn’t as fun to play with and caused us to turn back. that in-between evening in the Arctic, we made the best decision for our circumstance with the information we had, despite the demanding feelings of failure and frustration. We made the tougher choice, and we are stronger for it.

he new Jeanneau 440 is a seriously cool boat innovative, confidence inspiring, and comfortable. The latest offering from the Sun Odyssey range, this Phillipe Briande design features several elements that are truly unique, and the experience of sailing the boat was surprising and impressive. Our test day brought us 12-17 knots of breeze and all the September sunshine any PNW sailor could hope for. It was one of my favorite sails of the year, and the boat itself had a lot to do with that sentiment. “Scow Bow” The most striking feature of the Jeanneau 440 was on display even at the dock. Jeanneau calls it “scow-bow” and it’s an innovation borrowed from ocean racing yacht design, first in the Mini-Transat class and now in many others. The clearly defined chines at the stern are pretty common these days, but the 440’s chine never stops and is carried all the way forward to the plumb bow - where it meets about eight inches above the knuckle. This fullness increases interior volume, and thus buoyancy, in the bow. Additionally, Jeanneau says the design improves performance. The trickle of technology and design from the high-end racing sector into the world of production cruisers appeals to me. Such advancements can catch a traditionalist off guard, but in this case, the application is so positive that it induces an about-face from the skeptics. Almost everyone I spoke to about the Jeanneau 440 raised an eyebrow at first; but anyone who had sailed it was a convert. I didn’t really need converting, but my expectation is that this design will influence many others in the coming years.
(one terminating inboard on the cabintop and the other outboard on the hull) which also provide a nice midship hand-hold. The helm station design itself, including the ramp, is pretty beautiful. Dual wheels drive the dual rudders. While the entire cockpit is inboard because of the side deck ramps, the helm station seats, located aft and outboard of the wheels, give a good view of the telltales. My favorite part of the helm station was the placement of the primary winches. For most of my sailing life, I’ve gotten used to bending over or kneeling on a cockpit seat to get to a winch. The more centered cockpit orth oat est and narrower seat-back coaming requires a by J oe C line different placement of the the way that sailors move around the winches, and Jeanneau has put them boat. The result is a clever solution to inboard and just forward of the helm. the transition from the cockpit to the For shorthanded sailing on a cruising side decks. On pretty much every other monohull, the ability to effectively cruising boat I’ve ever been on, getting access the winch from a standing from cockpit to the side-deck involves position at the helm is quite new and a big step to a cockpit seat followed by really helpful. It almost goes without another big step (or two) up and over saying on a modern boat, but the main and jib sheets are led aft to each helm the seat-back coaming. On the Jeanneau 440, the cockpit station. The optional dual chartplotters doesn’t use the full beam, because are permanently angled so a seated outboard of the cockpit on each side, helmsperson could look down and get the helm station sole transitions to a the full view of the screen, which is spacious side deck via a gentle ramp. polarized to offset glare from sunlight.

affect the sailing much, except it had me constantly asking myself, ‘Do we need to put on some boom vang?’ This Thing Sails Itself Since we’re getting into some of the trim settings and considerations, let’s talk about the experience of sailing this boat. In short, it was an absolute joy. We set sail on a close-hauled course. The 440 uses Jeanneau’s Spectra bridle system in lieu of a traveler, which doesn’t allow for much tweak-ability, but the traditionally rigged main (not in-mast furling, whoo-hoo!) trimmed into a nice shape even with simple controls. The standard 125% genoa was the perfect sail for the conditions and was easily adjusted. I appreciated this standard sail choice in a world where most new boats have self-tacking nonoverlapping headsails that compromise performance for ease. Trimming and tacking was still easy thanks, in part, to electric winches. With very little effort towards setup and trim, the boat was so balanced that I could let go of the helm for extended periods before a correction (15 seconds or more). Admittedly, the conditions were extremely cooperative, but the boat finds robust hullform stability when heeled on the chine, which puts the working rudder into a vertical orientation. The combination of stability and effective rudder angle make the boat feel very forgiving and confidence inspiring. We never overpowered the rudder. My compulsive sail adjustments didn’t feel like they were having a very big effect on the way the boat was sailing, and they were only making very small differences in boat speed. It felt like the boat almost sailed itself. The scow bow design under sail is remarkable. In 15 knot winds and moderate wind waves, the motion of the bow against the horizon kept catching my eye - like something didn’t compute. Since the bow design is so buoyant, the fore-andaft pitching motion is significantly reduced; in essence, the boat doesn’t dig into the waves. Reducing that updown pitching of the bow against the horizon seemed to reveal an eliptical side-to-side motion in the waves. It wasn’t a yaw - the boat wasn’t rolling and the heel stayed consistent - it was
something new. The closest comparison is probably the view over the bow of a planing boat ripping downwind; but in that scenario, you’re going with (or over) the waves. I this case, the motion was short and quick because we were going to weather, but it was somewhat reminiscent of that bow-up almost surfy motion on a plane. The increased buoyancy also allowed the bow to stay up and dry. Typically, the further a boat heels, the more the bow digs in (on race boats, we move crew aft in heavy winds to combat this). While the Jeanneau 440 was solidly heeled in a fairly stiff breeze, it was a notably different sensation than I was accustomed to. The bow stayed up and the boat kept scooting forward. Additionally, the deck on the bow stayed remarkably dry. Avoiding big digs into the waves helped the boat retain its functional freeboard. We did a few tacks. The jib and mainsheet share the primary winches, but the “sharing” they must do was easy. Additionally, that great primary winch placement also brings the jib sheet clutches closer together (each within an arms reach if standing between the winches), making the process much easier if the same person is going to release the working sheet and bring it in on the new side. We eased the sails to bear away. Off-the-breeze, the boat felt good with the regular sail plan, but I would have loved to sail it under Code Zero or spinnaker off the stock bowsprit/ anchor-roller. The Jeanneau 440 has a traditional backstay, which I appreciate particularly because the rig can have a smaller angle for the swept spreaders; which allows the main to go further out in downwind modes without pasting the sail against the rigging. The rig has only two spreaders and two primary shrouds, but gets additional stiffness from a “cathedral rig” system of spreader-to-mast diagonal shrouds, which also reduces weight aloft. A similar system is used on the TP52. The sail continued blissfully and easily. We made our way downwind reaching and running, and eagerly turned upwind again to feel the full effect of the scow bow once more. You wouldn’t necessarily think a 44’ cruising boat would be fun to sail, but it was. www.48North.com

The helm station with inboard winch and pathway to the outboard side-deck ramps. A Brilliant Interior With 44’ of boat and extra volume athwartships thanks to the chines, the Jeanneau 440 has a lot of interior space. A few elements are particularly noteworthy. First, three massive hull portlights on each side make this one of the brightest monohull cabins you’ll find, and their locations bring light into both the salon and the cabins. Jeanneau has hidden most of the storage in the cabin, which lets your eye experience the full beam from hull to hull (there’s no cabinetry at eye level) and really opens up the space. There are many ingenius storage nooks, but it does make me wonder whether interior storage would feel limited for a passage. Lowering the storage in the boat and the midship-placement of the galley are aimed at keeping weight in the boat centered and low, which will aid sailing performance. The twin doors between the salon and V-berth (which features a full rectangular queen-size berth) make the cabin seem enormous; and are likely to stay open when cruising as a couple. The Jeanneau 440 is a bold, forward-thinking design. It’ll intrigue you at the dock, impress you on deck, and wow you under sail. Combine all that with luxurious cruising amenities - it really is the total package. Special thanks to Dan Krier and Marine Servicenter for taking us sailing.

This summer, my wife and I spent eight nights on our Olson 30 with our eight-month old daughter. I consider surviving the experience among my greatest sailing achievements. Anyone familiar with an Olson 30 knows that overnighting on one is the equivalent of tent camping: no power, no running water, no head, no standing headroom or any standard cruising amenities. Our adventure took us from Tacoma to the San Juan Islands, where we made it to Lopez, West Sound, Clark, and Sucia. We were blissfully ignorant of what it’s like cruising with a baby, and hope other new parents might find some value in our lessons learned. 1) Take your itinerary and throw it out the window. In the weeks prior to our vacation, my wife would unroll a chart of the San Juans and we’d talk about where we wanted to go, what we wanted to do, and the most practical route to take. On the first day, we covered just 30 miles and pulled in to Port Madison just after dinner. We had planned on leaving Tacoma and pushing straight to Port Townsend, but with a baby, everything takes longer (parents, you already know this). On that first day, 24

we were two hours late just leaving the house and three hours late leaving the dock; so, of course, we missed our ideal current window. The next day we left Port Madison with the idea we’d push hard, make up lost time, and arrive on Orcas before dark. We made it to Port Townsend. What I quickly learned is that you are at the mercy of the baby’s schedule. If baby is sleeping, let her sleep. If mom is sleeping, let her sleep. As soon as we abandoned our itinerary and took a “go with the flow” approach we were much happier. 2) Adjust your expectations. This goes hand in hand with the first lesson. Don’t expect cruising with a baby to be like it was when you were single or married without kids. You probably won’t go as far or as fast, and you may also find yourself staying closer to civilization and spending more time ashore. When you’re a new parent, it can feel like a big adventure just going to the grocery store, so by comparison the San Juans feel plenty remote! The other big adjustment to make is that mom and dad probably won’t spend a whole lot of time on deck together. When our daughter November 2018

3) Have relief points and accept help from friends. We reached our low point in Port Townsend. We were a full day behind schedule, had a terrible night at anchor, and were all exhausted. We were on the fence about whether to continue north or turn around and head home. Enter Sugar Flannigan, coach of the Port Townsend HS team and one of the saltiest mariners in a town full of salty mariners. Sugar picked us up and took us to his house for a hearty breakfast that his wife, Leslie, had prepared. We took hot showers and gained some perspective, as Sugar and Leslie told us all about raising two daughters while crossing oceans on their 90’ schooner, Alcyone. Their encouragement and hospitality made all the difference, and we pointed the boat north. We stayed two nights on Orcas Island, where Burke Thomas, another incredible coach and supporter of youth sailing, rolled out the red carpet for us. We even used his truck to go into town for a proper date night (and to buy groceries). If you’re cruising with a baby, and a friend makes an offer of hospitality, take them up on it! Maybe even go out of your way to cruise places where your friends live. 4) Designate a “Baby Containment Zone” (aka BCZ). I spent a few hours fashioning a screen, essentially a lee cloth running athwartship, that could be used to seal off the V-berth. This was our BCZ, and we kept it free of sails and other gear. Besides the baby, only a few toys and a couple of blankets lived up there. It was as baby-proof as we could make any space on the boat, and we had peace of mind that she couldn’t get into too much trouble. This is where she napped, crawled around, and spent most of her time while underway. With no baby monitor, we’d just run forward and peek down the forward hatch to check on her. The car seat was our back-up option if we got into rough weather.
We had a place below where we could wedge it securely, but we never needed this option. 5) Pack only the essentials. The Olson 30 has very limited space below, so there wasn’t room for a Pack n’ Play, stroller, crib, etc. We only took three somewhat bulky items, and I would consider each a necessity. The first was a small portable high chair that strapped easily to a bench seat. It was very secure and we could strap our daughter into it, too. This meant we could do meal time even under sail. A hiking backpack was much better for exploring the islands than any stroller, plus it was lightweight and took up less space. As I mentioned before, the car seat came along just in case. We were glad we had it when Sugar picked us up in Port Townsend and Burke let us borrow his truck. We do cloth diapers at home, but opted for disposables while cruising. Keep these in a trash bag in the lazarette, and dispose of them frequently. Diaper changes happened on the chart table, which was easier than it sounds. Make sure to pack rash guards,
hats, and sunscreen for baby. It’s a lot colder on a boat at night, so bring a warm sleep sack even if it’s the middle of summer. An infant life jacket goes without saying, but we found that she hated wearing it. She got used to it by the end of the trip; so in hindsight, I’d get her used to wearing her life jacket at home before ever leaving the dock. There’s really not that much you need when you’re on a boat. 6) Have a plan for sleeping. Sleep deprivation was a major issue for us. We tried to all sleep together in the V-berth, because there was really no other arrangement. We don’t co-sleep at home, and our daughter wasn’t used to it. She thought it was play time or nursing time for most of the night. My suggestion is to make your best effort to sleep on the boat the way you sleep at home. We had too much stuff to free up both pipe berths, but if that was possible we (mom and dad) should have slept in those and let baby have the whole V-berth (see BCZ). There were times I tried to sleep in one of the pipe berths, so that one of us would be fresh, but you can’t really get away

I feel compelled to share this story; one that turned into a horrendous adventure and an important learning experience. We thought we were in for another wonderful weekend out on our boat Sailors Run, a Baba 40 ketch... until things went pear-shaped. It was Easter weekend, and we were joined by our good friends Mike and Sharon aboard their boat Watermark, a Rafiki 35. We had agreed to meet at Cutts Island (sometimes called Dead Man’s Island) in south Puget Sound. My wife, Debbie, and I had arrived ahead of Mike and Sharon on Saturday. We tied up to a state park mooring under bright sunshine and winds that were virtually non-existent. Several hours passed before Mike and Sharon arrived. Since we were looking forward to spending time together, when they got in they rafted Watermark up to our port side. Between the two boats, we had well over sixty years of combined cruising experience and set about placing ample fenders and spring lines along with lines forward and aft. The afternoon went by quickly as we basked in the sun aboard Sailors Run, trading sailing stories and adventures we had shared. A few beers and some wine were consumed and soon it was time to call it a night. I awoke early the next morning with bright sunshine pouring in through the port-lights, flooding the cabin in golden sunshine. I love running in the 26
mornings, so I rowed the dinghy ashore where I found a nice sandy beach to haul out on. Now on the mainland, I soon made my way to a road where I could pound out some much needed miles. After about 40 minutes, I made my way back down the road to the dinghy and rowed swiftly out to Sailors Run, very much looking forward to breakfast with Debbie. I noticed as I climbed into the cockpit that Mike’s dinghy was no longer at his boat and a quick look revealed it was on-shore at Cutts Island. Once below, Debbie told me Mike and Sharon decided to do some hiking around on the small island and that we should go ashore to join them after breakfast. Debbie whipped up some pancakes and the smell of the freshperked coffee permeated the cabin; filling our boat’s cabin with the aroma of coffee is one of the things I love most about cruising. Looking up from my breakfast, I glanced at the barometer. I was shocked at what I saw. The barometer looked as if the bottom had fallen out of it and the needle was all the way down on “stormy.” Turning to Debbie, I asked how long the barometer had been bottomed out? She was as shocked as I was and said she had no idea! I slid out from behind the table and went up the companion way stairs and stepped out into the cockpit. Looking to the sky there was nothing but sunshine and a November 2018

dead calm, not even a whisper of air on the surface of the water. I decided that the barometer was obviously broken - a very foolish assumption. Soon, Debbie and I rowed the 100 yards over to the island and joined our friends there. It wasn’t long before a light breeze sprung up as we wandered about the shoreline of the island with our friends. We all looked out on to Puget Sound to the south, and Mike noted that the wind seemed to be steadily increasing in velocity. He joked to me about how he always wanted to be stranded on a deserted island and forced to live a survival type of lifestyle there. It was then I mentioned to Mike and Sharon that I had observed our barometer was all the way down on stormy at breakfast. “No kidding?” asked Mike. I assured him it was what I had seen. We watched as a catamaran motored downwind in what was now a great breeze for sailing. I commented that it made little sense to motor when sailing looked like the way to go in these conditions. Mike suggested that we get back to our boats as things seemed to be unraveling pretty fast. Plus, Debbie was pretty much unnerved by several large geese that were running about in a peculiar manner in our immediate proximity, themselves seeming to not like the sudden change in the weather. Once back at our dinghies, Mike

the diesel fired right up. Next I ran forward to where the anchor should have been and was dumbfounded by what I saw: there was no anchor on deck anywhere, I mean “holy sh*t!” What now? I jumped back aboard Sailors Run and searched for yet another way to get out of this mess. It was then that I noticed something different - now it seemed like Sailors Run was to weather of Mike’s boat and riding up on Watermark. What the hell had changed? As I glanced off towards the island, I felt my heart sink realizing we were underway drifting aft. I ran forward and saw the buoy still attached to Sailors Run, but obviously it had broken free from the bottom. I untied the buoy and let it go. I ran back to the cockpit, with adrenalin now pounding through my veins, and fired up my diesel as it was the more powerful engine. I applied enough throttle to hold our position, a very precarious one at that. Astern of us by less than a half-mile was a log bridge with no way to pass under it, and the shores on either side of the bridge were very rocky. The channel where the moorings were located was about one quarter-mile wide, and here I was powered up and listening to my teak cap rail being splintered into little pieces. I put the boat on autopilot and ran below, calling out a “May-Day” looking for anyone in the area that could possibly help me or get the stranded crew members back to the boat. The Coast Guard answered and wanted my location. They didn’t seem to know the island by either of its names. I told them I can no longer talk on the radio and must try and save these boats; and cleared from channel 16. Back out on deck, I decided I would cut all the lines to Watermark except the stern line. I cut away with my knife and soon Watermark swung astern of me. This was all good for about thirty seconds when suddenly the stern of Mike’s boat collided with my stern, sending a shudder through both hulls. It was then I noticed that the bitter end of the line along with its excess (the only way to increase the distance between the two boats) lay coiled in the cockpit of Mike’s boat. Sonofab*tch. After the fourth terrifying crash of the 28
two sterns, I said to myself, ‘Mike you are going to have to go cruising on a different boat.’ I grabbed my knife and cut the line like it was butter. On shore, Mike said to my wife that it looks like Jeff had to cut his boat free. Debbie assured Mike that I was his friend and would never do that! I watched Mike’s boat drift downwind. Suddenly, much to my surprise and amazement, Watermark stopped drifting. When the sterns were bashing together, the Life Ring on Mike’s boat had become wrapped up in one of my sets of blocks on my davits. Now the boat was precariously hanging by a 3/8” poly line in a 45knot blow. I went to the controls of Sailors Run and set the engine speed to hold the two boats where they were, and maneuvered the boats into the center of the channel. Then, adrenalin still pumping, I pulled out 100ft of halfinch nylon line and tossed that into the dinghy after securing one end of the line to my boat. Next I dragged the dinghy up alongside and jumped into it floating astern to Mike’s boat. Once onboard, I secured the line to the bow and cut the 3/8” poly line. We swung around and, with less drag, both boats started moving forward towards the island where the rest of the crew was. I remember a Coast Guard helicopter hovering overhead for several minutes before flying off to the west. I guess he saw that I had everything under control! I jumped into the dinghy and rowed like hell to get up to the front of Mike’s boat where I could grab the tow line and pull myself back to Sailors Run. At the stern of my boat, with all the strength I can muster, I made a lunge for a stanchion on the starboard side and pulled myself aboard; securing the dinghy once again. I got back to the helm just in time to steer clear of the shore on the island and move back into mid-channel. Next, I slowed the Perkins down a few hundred RPMs and drifted astern to position Watermark downwind of where he and Sharon were on the island with Debbie. It took a lot of waving and signaling in the deafening gale, but at last they piled in the dinghy and started the rough row out to their boat where the engine was still running November 2018

(I hoped). Once on board, Mike called me on the VHF to let me know he was ready to cast off. The final hurdle - Debbie was still on the island. I grabbed a buoy pretty much abeam of where she was. This whole ordeal had taken over three hours, and my mouth felt like it was full of cotton. There was no time to get a drink. Mike and Sharon held position off my port bow. The wind was showing no sign of easing up. Over the side I went once again, rowing like hell in the wind and waves. Once at the beach, I pulled the dinghy ashore and told Debbie I need to rest. She said, “No way!” She wanted off Dead Man’s Island, right now! She pushed us out and jumped in. This leg was much more difficult with two people in the dinghy, but eventually, we made it. Once on board, Debbie got me some much needed water to get rid of my cotton mouth. We weren’t on board for more than a few minutes when the winds picked up even more. Mike and Sharon could not even power into the wind and had to fall off and go to the lee of the island for the night. I pulled up a reefed mizzen, untied from the buoy, and was just able to power into the winds and seas. We headed for home in Longbranch, a seemingly distant ten miles. I learned many lessons through this, and they did not come cheap - it would cost over $2,500 to put Sailors Run right again. Mike sustained less damage and did his own repairs. If it’s up to me, I won’t raft-up again, even in what seems like perfect weather. I also learned to believe the barometer. If I had turned on my VHF radio that morning, I might have heard the Coast Guard warning of a freak spring storm and could have sought a sheltered port immediately. So yes, keep that VHF on an monitor channel-16. Jeffrey R.

ow many sailors does it take to change a lightbulb? This month’s topic is an innovation that has changed the world, and it’s happened during our lifetimes (most of us, anyway): we’re talking about the technological revolution of LED (light emitting diode) lights. Simply put, utilizing LED lighting for boats is a no-brainer: it uses so much less power, the light quality is better, it’s more versatile, and the battery savings when you’re off the dock are worth every penny. LED Technology was started in 1962 by a scientist at GE named Nick Holonyak. They called it “the magic one”, and this revolution has continued until today, bringing us a low power drain light source that outperforms those that came before it. With this came a new way of measuring or talking about how much light a light bulb puts out. In the past, when we spoke about how many watts a light bulb was, we were actually referring to the power consumed by it. Now, we speak of lumens, which are a unit of brightness. Figure 1 is a chart that gives a comparison of lumens to watts used by different types of light bulbs. You need to know which bulb is going to give the luminescence you want, so many bulbs are marked with the equivalent to a given wattage of an incandescent bulb to give us a familiar yardstick. In addition to the descriptors watts and lumens, sometimes lights are measured in candlepower (search lights

are an example). One candlepower, which refers to the light emitted by a candle, equals 12.57 lumens; so if you divide the number of lumens by 12.57, you get candlepower. Don’t let the definitions distract you though, Figure 1 illustrates the power savings: a change from incandescent to LED should reduce your power draw for lighting by at least 82%! LEDs are advertised as a panacea and they can do a lot of great things, but this comes at a price. Literally. The initial cost of a replacement bulb or sealed fixture is, at this point, higher than incandescent. While forms of lighting other than LED and incandescent do exist for boats, they are not usually much cheaper than LEDs, and can seldom match the positive qualities of LEDs, such as LEDs’ projected average life of 25,000 hours, the longest of any boat lighting option. The cost of an LED will, over its lifetime (in most cases), be cheaper than all other types of lights. It should be noted that LEDs do not normally suffer

catastrophic failure as do incandescent. Instead, they become dimmer. The usual criteria to determine if an LED has “failed” is when it has lost 30% of its brightness. The low draw of LEDs is the stuff of dreams to a cruising sailor or liveaboard, and it is a double benefit since your batteries are being saved because the LEDs are not creating as much waste heat. It is not that LEDs don’t create heat; the heat is a direct proportion of the current used, which is very low; low enough that the amount of heat is usually insignificant. LED fixtures are designed to dissipate it, and some bulbs have heat sinks. LEDs are electrical circuits, and, like any electronic, overheating shortens their life (and reducing heat extends it). LED fixtures can be designed for various specific uses: among others, they may be completely sealed and waterproofed for exterior use; or engine room lights may be sealed and ignition-proofed. Another feature of LED bulbs is the variety of colors available: red, green, blue, amber, purple, as well as different temperatures of white. This ability to produce different colors has advantages. For example, a threewire fixture for the top of your mast that is a combination tricolor, anchor, and strobe light, all in a compact, lightweight package (Figure 2, page 30). This simply wouldn’t be possible with out the color specificity. Typically, white is available in two colors: warm (2000- 3000K) and cool (over 5000K). The “K” is for Kelvin, in this case, used to express the temperature of color. The sun is around 5900K and 5600K is considered comparable to daylight. A ‘cool’ LED means you will see an object’s colors more as you would see them in daylight. Many people prefer the warm white; it changes the colors we see, but 29

old habits die hard. Fun side note along this line, we were in Hawaii where all the street lights and large parking lot lights are yellow. This is because the telescopes on the top of the volcano can filter yellow light out of their observations. I went into a store and when I came out I could not find my truck because, until my eyes adjusted to the yellow light, the truck was gray instead of red. Light can do fun things. Color is also important in navigation lights. The US Coast Guard certifies light fixtures, not light bulbs. This means the replacement navigation LED light bulbs that are marked as “USCG certified” have been tested in the specific fixtures listed
Figure 3 (right) - This is just one company’s offering of courtesy lights. “AC” are two and three inch lights with built in switches. “D-S” and “R, T, & W” are all mountable in special spaces, for example under an overhanging settee where you want the cabin sole or a step illuminated. “Q” and “S” could be used as indicator lights. “U” and “V” are small lights you could use in lockers or some other small space. on the packaging. There are several companies that make LED replacement bulbs for navigation lights, but one has the biggest selection and traditionally has been the major supplier to the Navy and USCG. LEDs used in nav. lights are the color of the lens or the required light sector. This is not the case with incandescent bulbs. A note about nav. lights: LEDs radiate in specific arcs which is why you see multiple elements in a single bulb, ‘elements’ being the little white squares with a yellow dot or lens. Each one of these is an LED, and together they generate the light in different sectors around the bulb. This means that, depending on the design of the light, some may not
be able to be seen when the boat heels. The information about whether the light is okay for a sailboat should be on the literature or packaging either as “for power boats only,” or sometimes they will state the degrees of heel over which the light is visible. If you’re thinking about a conversion to LEDs on your boat, the first step is to remove a bulb from an existing fixture and take it to a chandlery to see if a replacement LED

We had a halogen reading lamp that we liked and retrofitted the same fixture with an LED bulb attachment (Figure 4). A conversion to LEDs may go this way - bulb by bulb, fixture by fixture. Unlike rewiring, which is most easily done all at once, you can chip away at the conversion as you have time or money. Every change will reduce your power draw. And, since the required power with an LED is significantly reduced, if a fixture is working with a higher-draw bulb, the wiring should be very safe to keep using with an LED. Voltage is another area that sets these lights apart in that they can operate over a wide range: 10-30 volts direct current (vdc) is not uncommon. (Some LEDs are to be used only with a single voltage, for example, 12vdc.) The advantage of this is not only that you
can use it with 12 or 24 vdc, but also there is no problem with over voltages. 12 volt systems often experience 14 volts plus when charging and 24 volt systems may actually see 28 volts plus. We need to address the theme of dimmers and dimmable lights. Not all LEDs are created equal. Because the LED is an electronic circuit, they can vary wildly. In order to offer a more competitive price, some circuits are simpler than others, and this or other design factors can affect their ability to dim. If you think you might want to dim the lights you are putting in, choose ones that say “dimmable” in the manufacturer’s specs. Some light fixtures have the dimmer built in. Usually, they are cabin lights or deck and cockpit lights. LEDs have come of age. We no longer see them as the “chancy” product we bought ten years ago with the hope of more light for less drain on the battery. Those early incarnations often failed or did not live up to expectation. LEDs now come in everything from flex strip rope lights, every conceivably shaped courtesy light (Figure 3, page 30), cabin lights, or underwater lights
Figure 4 - This reading light is an old favorite of ours. We converted the existing fixture to use an LED bulb. to navigation lights, and more. They have gotten brighter and advanced in the ways they turn on and off, dim, or change color. More important than all this is that they are now solid products that deliver in terms of brightness and longevity. Your boat is a lot easier to light now, and the future is beyond our illumination.

Galley Essentials with Amanda Amanda and Paulo at his family’s olive oil and wine establishment
When our expedition crew joined us last season in Falmouth, England, a passing frontal system, bringing strong winds and rain heralded the beginning of winter; so we knew it was time to head south. After the blustery conditions passed, we had started out with a nice sail, but a near-stationary ridge of high pressure kept wind speeds in the 5-7 knot range. We motorsailed a little until the breeze stabilized and we could resume sailing. It was a treat to make landfall in La Coruna, Spain, in warm sunny weather. We spent hours exploring the old city with its quintessential tapas bars and wandering the historic waterfront to the impressive Tower of Hercules; the oldest lighthouse in the world. From La Coruna, we took delight in a few ria (river estuary) anchorages along the coast. With chilly waters (cold enough to make our swims extremely brief) and hot sunshine, we were often in fog on passages and relied on radar and our deck lookouts for spotting traffic and for noting the numerous lobster pots. At the attractive fishing port of Muros, a handsome new marina tempted us, but when music from a visiting carnival began blaring, we chose instead to anchor and dinghy ashore for decadent churros and cupcakes. 32

ham. Upon strolling the ancient granitepaved lanes, we were repeatedly invited into tiny shops to sample fiery grape skin liquors and other vibrantly-colored, creamy, flavored liqueurs. We awoke in the town of Baiona at first light, as a sliver of moon rose above a steady stream of small fishing craft heading out to sea. As the city came to life, it appeared that the fishermen, chatting and playing checkers on the pier across from the marina were the same ones who’d been there last night when we went to dinner. Lead by our friend Leon, who sails a sistership, we’d navigated the Baiona’s back streets in search of the ultimate tapas and weren’t disappointed when served an impressive variety of divine seafood dishes, of which the cilantro scallops were my favorite. Grilled Cilantro Scallops 1-lb scallops ¼ cup olive oil ¼ cup chopped cilantro 3 garlic cloves - minced 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice ½ teaspoon soy sauce 1½ teaspoons crushed red pepper lemon wedges Light grill. In a medium bowl combine all ingredients and season to taste. Grill scallops over moderate heat, basting with marinade until golden and just cooked, about 2 minutes each side. Serve in shells and garnish with lemon wedges. After crossing the border, we spent an enchanting evening in the Viana do Castel town square, experiencing a multi-ethnic folkloric dance festival until the wee hours. Driven by hunger, we entered a small bar that was in full swing. Using sign language, they apologized they were low on items and could only offer us gazpacho, which we eagerly devoured and enjoyed. Gazpacho 1 14oz can whole tomatoes 2 cucumbers - peeled seeded and diced divided 2 garlic cloves 1 quart tomato juice 1 lemon - juiced 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 3 ripe tomatoes - cored and diced ½ cup minced red onion
1 green pepper- minced 1 tablespoon dried basil 2 teaspoons dried tarragon ⅓ cup minced fresh parsley 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives ½ teaspoon paprika ⅛ teaspoon Tabasco sauce 2 teaspoons soy sauce Puree canned tomatoes, one cucumber and garlic. Pass through a sieve to remove seeds and combine with remaining ingredients. Chill then season to taste. Serves 6. Our final stop before the expedition’s end in Lisbon was at the new Douro Marina, at the mouth of the river of the same name which runs through Porto, named after the famous wine growing region, the Douro Valley. With a safe haven for the boat, we took a tour to the town of Pinhão, in the heart of the region, and had a charming day visiting numerous wineries, feasting on frittata at the riverside, and meeting Paulo at D’Origem olive museum. He charmingly explained his family’s traditional method of making olive oil.

In a skillet, sauté chorizo and shallots in olive oil for 3 minutes. Add brussels sprouts, season to taste and cook 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat eggs with milk, add cheese and chives. Add egg mix to skillet and cook, stirring gently, until eggs start to set and bottom is slightly browned; about 5 minutes. Broil frittata until center is just set; 3 minutes. Serves 4.

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.

Helmets for Sailing
few years ago, A Cautionary Tale a spinnaker By Michele Rogalin Henderson pole on a faulty topping lift changed my life. This article is part cautionary tale, part science, and part a call to action to make wearing helmets a normal part of sailboat racing. Brain injuries acquired through sport have gotten quite a bit of press in recent years, as the research regarding the long term complications mean nothing. I went from racing in a associated with concussion has very windy race to a silent inky void on developed. Concussion, also known as impact.

This explanation shuts up the critics and hopefully gives them a sense of how serious it is.” I’ve spent quite a bit of time imagining the details of what might have happened to me on the day I was injured. I remember coming in to the weather mark on port, ducking a few boats, and a crash tack. I have no recollection of getting knocked out or the rest of that day (or most of the next week). It was six months before I could be around a group of people and not be completely overwhelmed by sensory input. I had severe anxiety and depression for months. I had difficulty speaking properly. I had headaches every day for the first year and a half. My brain still isn’t “normal”, and I know that I won’t ever get my brain back the way it was before the injury. I have ongoing cognitive processing challenges, headaches a couple of times a week, and when I am stressed or tired, difficulty finding words. Serious stuff, indeed. I have a fabulous sailing helmet. It looks a bit ridiculous, but I don’t care. Just like the aforementioned sailors, I wish more people wore them. Why don’t more people wear helmets? When I was a child, helmets weren’t really a thing. Not to date myself, but we road our bikes, skied, played softball/baseball, skated... all without helmets. Now it’s odd to see someone without helmets for many sports. Research demonstrates the effectiveness of helmets for reducing head injuries in several sports. Further research suggests that helmets can be designed in a sports-specific way in order to maximize their effectiveness. Manufacturers have begun to specialize and innovate helmets designed for each sport, using finite-element analysis (math and physics) to get it right. Did you know that the Emirates Team
New Zealand America’s Cup racers wore helmets that were designed to be both protective and strategically aerodynamic? Research presented at The American Society of Mechanical Engineers bioengineering conference looked at boom angular velocities and head accelerations (highly correlated for those without helmets) and found that water sports helmets reduced head accelerations by 52%(+/-4) when compared to those without helmets. Bottom line? Helmets help. US Sailing Sports Medicine Committee acknowledges the growing concern regarding head injuries in sailing. The official position is that helmets are encouraged for dinghies and/or ‘aggressive’ racing, for crew in a position likely to be hit, and those not entirely familiar with sailing. While there is a push for more education and resources for helmet use, the organization is reluctant to make helmets mandatory. In New Zealand, helmets are ubiquitous at the elite levels. Yachting New Zealand (the governing body of racing in NZ) requires that all sport multihull (such as the Nacra fleet)
Noj sporting a helmet while rippin’ on a 505. sailors wear helmets. The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron’s youth sailing program in the Elliot 7s does not make helmet use compulsory, but their sailing booklet offers a strong suggestion and details on where to purchase sailing helmets. The NZOBA (NZ Open Bic Association) has made helmets mandatory for their regattas. In the OK dinghy fleet, over a third of the sailors wear helmets (including this

author’s husband). Is it realistic to expect that sailing will be the next sport to don helmets for competition? I know that it can be hard to convince racers to even wear their PFDs, despite a plethora of research that suggests doing so can save your life. Even if you only put it on when the breeze is on, when you’re dinghy or multihull sailing, or when you’re racing, I hope you will consider a helmet when you go sailing. I promise you won’t regret wearing a helmet, but you’ll definitely regret not wearing one if you’re hit. If you are curious to know more about selecting a helmet, there is a great article in a recent Sailing World that compares them. The MIT varsity sailing team has mandatory helmet rules for the team as well as all visitors. Basically, some of the smartest people in the world think it’s a good idea to protect your brain. Who are we to argue with that? Safe sailing! Michele Rogalin Henderson is a Seattle sailor calling Auckland home these days with her husband, Jon “Noj” Henderson.

Winter Sailing on by
the Idaho Lakes
Pete "Winter Sky" Zimowsky
Ship’s Log - Jan 24, 2018 Location: Lucky Peak Reservoir, Idaho First time sailing in January ever; and the first sail of the year. Weather: Very windy in town. Heavy winds predicted with rain and snow. Decided to go anyway. Air temp broke 40 degrees by 11 a.m. and the winds weren’t as big as in town. Behind the dam and in the sheltered canyon of the reservoir, winds were 10 to 12 knots. Made some super runs up and down the canyon. Still, had to watch for some gusts, 20 knots or more, coming out of nowhere. The rain and snow was intermittent. The shoreline and coves near Lucky Peak Dam were still blocked by ice. No boat dock in water. Had to just drop the boat off the end of the ramp at Turner Gulch. Final thought: Good thing I went for it. Sailing in the winter on lowelevation inland reservoirs throughout the west can be challenging because you never know what nature will throw at you. Sometimes, sleet is spraying the main sail like BB pellets hitting a tarp or snow accumulates on deck next to me. Chunks of ice can be floating underneath the surface of the water, even through the reservoir is mostly open water. Think Titanic. Reservoirs are drawn down hundreds of feet in the winter, and backing that extra distance down an icy boat ramp will give you a stiff neck and charlie horse in the calf muscles of your brake-pedal foot. 36

Rock ridges, cliffs, and sandbars all safely submerged in the summer are now exposed or hidden under only inches of water. Watch out. I need to get a depth finder. On the other hand, if you hit it right and go for a sail with ample caution and warm clothing, you’ve got in another day of sailing when no one is out. And you can’t beat that. While a lot of inland sailors put their boats in storage for winter, a few diehards are out experiencing some of the best winds of the year. I started thinking: duck hunters and anglers are out on the water throughout the winter, why not sailors? Now, I sail once a week through the winter if Lucky Peak Reservoir, my home lake, doesn’t freeze over. Over the past several winters, I’ve considered myself lucky because parts of the reservoir have been free of ice. Of course, the 2,765-acre reservoir has only 15% as much water when I’m out in the winter as it does in the warmer season. That reduces surface area for sailing, but there’s plenty of room for making some runs as far as three miles out. I usually stay in the bottom pool near the dam, which has some of the deepest parts of the reservoir, maybe as deep as 50 to 70 feet. Why did I get so crazy about sailing, and winter sailing in particular? I’m not your typical sailor. I grew up sailing on Barnegat Bay in New Jersey. We’d make five-mile runs across the bay in a 17-foot dory-style boat we called The Ark. It was made of wood, had a wooden mast and a beat-up old main sail, but it worked for a couple of cousins who had no fear of the water or the elements. We were caught in everything from thunderstorms to pea-soup fog with four-foot waves, but always made it home. Our parents never knew. Then I left the saltwater for school and an occupation in photo journalism in Utah and Idaho. I became an old salt stuck in the sagebrush for more than 50 years. Finally, while being a campground host at Spencer Spit State Park on Lopez Island in the San Juans, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I’d patrol the Spit for litter and to talk to sailors coming ashore. One day
summer - Rosario, Friday Harbor, and Sucia Island are some of my favorites. Though I love those summer cruises, what keeps me going are the winter sails. Like I said, I’m a bit crazy for sailing. Just like it is in many places on the Salish Sea, winter sailing on the inland lakes can be extremely enjoyable, if you take precautions. I monitor the weather daily and pick the best days to head out. My no-go temperature is anything below 40°F. Of course, no matter what it looks like in town, it can be totally different on the water. If I get to the parking lot and it looks like a winter hurricane, I don’t hesitate to say it’s time to bag it. Winter sailing can be exciting, but backing down There’s really nothing easy a long, icy boat ramp is the scary part. about it, but that’s part of what makes it so worthwhile.

About four years ago I purchased a Montgomery 15 so that I could solo whenever I wanted. It also meant easy trailering and launching by myself. Since then, I’ve been trying to make up for lost time, sailing absolutely as much as I can. Lucky Peak Reservoir is only seven miles from my home, and I launch there most often. There is also excellent sailing in Central Idaho on Lake Cascade and Payette Lake, among others. Additionally, I started spicing up my adventures with annual 100mile cruises in the San Juan Islands in August. I was introduced to the San Juans by members of the Southern Idaho Sailing Association and we usually cruise together in a group of eight or ten sailboats. I plan to hit more inland reservoirs across the Northwest and will continue to explore the saltwater cruising grounds of the San Juan Islands each

he 2018 PSSC Regatta, hosted by CYC Seattle, will likely remain in the minds of the participants for years to come. Great wind always makes for a great regatta. Yes, it never hurts if the Race Committee also gets it right and the pizza is warm when the guests show up, but the bottom line is sailors wanna sail, and they got what they paid for at this regatta. By the way, the RC was on their game and the victuals were delicious, but this time it was all about the sailing. The fleet was split with the big boats and PHRF sailing just north of Meadow Point and the smaller onedesign crowd just in front of Shilshole. Five classes on each course with plenty of boats made for fine competition. Saturday was breeze on and plenty moist, with a 20-25 knot northerly competing with a decent ebb. Minor gear breakage is common in these conditions, and a few boats sat it out Saturday figuring they would save their crew and sailing cents for the more moderate conditions 38
predicted on Sunday. The sun did come out again on Sunday and on this day everybody made it onto the race course. Kudos to the RC crews, especially the whaler drivers that must have been a little sore after Saturday’s adventures. The south course was all onedesign. The flashy Melges 24s reveled in these conditions, punching through the chop upwind and planing downwind with each crew competing to get further aft than

the competition, to keep the bow up and the throttle down. The J/80 fleet was next up. Their extra ballast ratio made the upwind legs a little easier, and they still got downwind in a hurry. The Moore 24s are a colorful bunch and they do things a little differently. These boats were designed to handle the lively ocean conditions in Santa Cruz, CA, and their crew don’t even bother with lifelines, and some don’t even have pulpits. Of course there is that one with the stern pulpit, but that’s only a BBQ mount in disguise. After a couple of warm up buoy races the fleets blazed across the starting line downwind for a fine jaunt to Blakely Rock. They battled commercial traffic and tryied not to get caught on the west side of a tug-n-tow headed north at identical upwind boat speed of a diminutive Moore 24, which was helpful in returning to the finish line in a timely manner. The San Juan 24s made another historic appearance and were rarely separated by more
than a few boat lengths. If anyone is still unfamiliar with their class motto: “Never have so many been so scared going so slowly,� it was evident why. Meanwhile, the lead bellied money guzzlers on the north course battled the elements with barfing crews, at least one crew overboard, and at least one collision. Besides that, there were some that made it look so easy. Wicked Wahine, who burned up the race course all year, posted an eight point victory in nine races, only taking their foot off the
accelerator in the final race for a third, their lowest of the series. The one-two Beneteau punch in class 3 was not enough to stop the flying machine of honey comb aluminum and carbon known as Uno. It should be noted that in Denny Vaughn’s final race as captain of Bravo Zulu, he posted another victory. Dave Steffen and the bad boys on Vitesse made the trek from Bellingham to fill out the podium. Class 4 is another J/boat one design fleet, in this case the 105s - probably the design best suited for these conditions. No matter what happened on the course or in the protest room, at the end of two days of racing it is not uncommon to see many of the same names rise to the top; in this case Erik Kristen and his merry band on Mor Jubilee sailed to the number one spot again. Class 5 was the old school PHRF class, the kind many
old Seattle salty sailors grew up with. Of course it must include at least one T-bird, and with an 84 second rating split, the fast boat has time for lunch between races. Again, with a nearly unbroken string of bullets,

CYC Seattle should be congratulated, and of course the g e n e ro u s s p o n s o r s s h o u l d b e patronized for providing all the elements that make it possible to go yacht racing in these conditions at this level. Deep water, strong currents, generous bar tenders, aggressive captains, a variety of sea life, commercial traffic, gorgeous distracting fall colors, and seasick rookies are all a part of the wonderful recipe that results in some of the finest yacht racing found anywhere. by Andy Schwenk photos by Jan Anderson results on page 46

Seattle Singles Yacht Club Northwest Harvest Regatta Racing for a worthy cause brings out sailboats that might not otherwise raise their sails on a windy September day. So, in addition to the local racing skippers, the Race to Fight Hunger saw a few normally “just cruising” boats trying their skills at racing on Elliott Bay. Nineteen boats participated in the 27th annual race on September 22. Winds were 15 to 20 knots out of the southwest, so a few boats started with reefed mains. Results and awards were presented during the evening party hosted at the Ballard Elks Lodge. Each skipper and crew donated food for Northwest Harvest or made a monetary donation based on boat length. Michael Hirsch and crew on High Hopes, a Nauticat 44, brought in the most food—705 pounds! A big thanks to Race Chair, Britt Larson and Event Chair, Barbara Brewer, as well as the many volunteers. by Janet Grimley results on page 46
Anacortes Yacht Club S’Ale Fest
S’Ale Fest is a new event at the Anacortes Yacht Club. The big idea is to bring in a Fall regatta that coincides with our annual Bier on the Pier Octoberfest event. It is sponsored by the Anacortes Brewery. S’Ale Fest is a perfect opportunity to go sailing and enjoy one of the big weekends in town! This year, a small but enthusiastic fleet raced on Saturday, October 6. The boats raced together on a medium distance race through the bay and down Guemes Channel, parading past the festival along the way. We finished the day with another race in the bay. Sunny and windy, it was a great day on the water. Up at the clubhouse, commodore Walt cooked up a feast of spaghetti and meatballs. Games were played, and with a three-way tie for first place in the regatta, each boat selected a representative to chug a beverage of choice for the win! One of the boats was absent at the party and lucked out with an all-star substitute that put the
A
rest to shame! Congratulations Little Annie, I bet you never knew that your fraternity skills were on point! With a two-way tie for 4th place, we had a second round of action as well. In real scoring, the tiebreaker went to Wild Rumpus, Little Annie, and Pangaea in that order for the top three spots. After our cheeks and sides were aching with laughter, several of us headed to town where the bands carried on with festival revelers. S’Ale Fest is off to a great start! For north end boats headed to Seattle for fall racing, this is a perfect stop along the way! A day of racing and the next day to get the boat down south. You never know, this might be just the thing that you never knew you needed. Thank you to the volunteers and inaugural racers. If you missed it this year, don’t worry! It’ll be back! The first weekend in October, right before PSSC; put it on the calendar now! by Stephanie Schwenk results on page 47

F oulweather B luff
h e C o r i n t h i a n Ya c h t C l u b T of Edmonds (CYCE) hosted their premier race of the year, the
Foulweather Bluff, on the first Saturday in October. For the 38th consecutive year, more than 75 PHRF NW rated boats competed in 13 Fleets and 2 Divisions for the coveted awards. The race starts just north of the Edmonds ferry dock. Race day began with gusty conditions with wind speeds near 20 knots from the north. By the 8:00 skipper ’s meeting, things had quieted down significantly and conditions were anticipated to continue lightening through the day. Primary Race Officer, Duane Emnott, called the nearly 15 NM course #2 for all boats, bringing them to Scatchet Head, Pilot Point and back. Fifty of the boats finished the race in the 8-hour time limit, and only two finished

in the Short-Course division. Gray Wolf, a Custom 40 from PMYC, took first overall, just inching out another PMYC boat, a Melges 24, in just over five hours and nine minutes. CYCE had a strong showing, winning three fleets and taking second in another to

“John Bennett rounded the first mark a minute before me and finishesd an hour before me. I rounded the first mark a minute before Fred Ehrlich, on Flair, and he never finished. The wind was unkind to the second half of the fleet and magnified very small differences in position as the day went on. On the last leg, the wind came onto us from every compass heading in sequence. In the end, patience and a happy crew was Euphoria’s winning strategy.” - George Roberts of Euphoria win the highly sought-after Perpetual Trophy. Classic Thunderbird, Prospero, harnessed the breeze to win the Short Course Division. Conditions on the course changed drastically through out the day with winds coming from all directions on the compass. A ten-foot tide swing with maximum flood hours into the race had crews fighting current to the first mark. Winds were blanketed by the bluff at Scatchet Head, and teams were rewarded for over-standing and allowing the current to set the mark. Once around, the ride to Pilot Point was a screamer to the identified coordinates. Things really got interesting on the way back as the winds dried up, leaving boats stranded. Successful strategies included following the breeze on a longer course to the south and benefiting from a lift as the direction clocked around. by John Bennett photos by Jan Anderson results on page 46

Race Your House To say Race Your House was fun is an understatement for our crew. As it was our first race on our 1986 Catalina 38, Gusto, we had originally invited our most “experienced” crew - one who bailed that morning due to an awful preHalloween bar-hop hangover, another who has done numerous casual sails with us, and the last who had never actually sailed before. We were set to win Race Your House 2018, or so we hoped. The morning of was a bit nerveracking for our crew of new racers - the Sound was consumed by thick, Fall fog. From land, a wall was blocking any visibility of the island. The eerie sounds of fog horns in the distance echoed without a visual of the vessels they came from. We were a bit anxious about the visibility and how bad it would be once we were out there. There was a small breeze, and we were crossing our fingers it would pick up and the fog would dissipate. After the skipper’s meeting, we headed out into the great unknown to get our crew ready for the big event. Once out on the water, the visibility was better than we expected. We were instantly calmed when we could easily see all of the participating boats. We hoisted our sails, quickly trained our crew how to tack and jibe, and headed towards the starting line. Boats were sitting, waiting for their classes to start. 11:00am came and the first class crossed the line, 11:05am and the next class took off, 11:10 and two minutes later, we took off. My only previous race experience has been CYC’s Sound Wednesdays and Grand Prix in the J/105 class. Compared to One-Design starts, our Race Your House start was far less exciting than what I had anticipated. We cruised through the line at a whopping three knots and headed for the West Point Buoy. We were sailing along and noticed how much faster the boats with flying sails were going. We have a spinnaker for our boat, but with our level of experience, we held back on flying it that day. Boy was that a mistake. We creeped toward that buoy for hours, but the slowness never diminished our www.48North.com

level of excitement. We were hell-bent on finishing the race. We rounded the West Point buoy wing-on-wing and were anticipating we’d start to gain more distance going back upwind. We stayed on the same tack and crossed into the shipping lane to get what we thought would be a better angle. Sure enough, we were reminded of our experience level. Cruising along at 3-4 knots, we decided to crack a beer for the long tack home. I went down below to grab a coat and left one of our crew at the helm. Shortly after, I heard her saying, “I think they’re getting really close, are they too close to us? I don’t want to drive anymore, I don’t want to drive anymore!” I quickly climbed out of the companionway and sure enough there was another boat riding our stern. I grabbed the helm, and Shaula quickly moves to our starboard side. Our cockpits aligned and Shaula’s crew ambushes Gusto with Oreos and Cheez-its. Having prepared for our morning on the water, our crew had brought a surplus of donuts. In retaliation, we drove up closer to Shaula and began throwing donuts as if they were frisbees. A ship-to-ship food fight entailed. This was not the type of excitement we had expected out of the race, but it sure kept us busy in the light wind. Eventually, more and more boats were turning their engines on and heading in, but Gusto was not giving up that easily. We were determined to finish our first race. We stayed out long enough that the fog turned into warm sunshine, and the change of weather kept our spirits high. The wind had almost died entirely, but we managed to get at least a knot to keep us going. At 4:50pm, we gracefully sailed through the finish line and completed our first race. Although we were last in our class and, I believe, second to last in the race, we cheered as if we had won the entire thing. What we won that day was simply the task of finishing something we had started. by Jennie Cutting results on page 47 43

Pumpkin Regatta
J
ust when we are putting the big boats away for the season, the young sailors of the northwest are waxing and polishing their hulls ready for one of the biggest regattas in the area; the West Va n c o u v e r P u m p k i n Regatta and the District Laser Championship. We s t Va n c o u v e r Yacht Club had over 200 competitors in 165 boats from three Canadian provinces and two states, a total of 11 fleets over the weekend of October 12th to 14th. In brilliant sunshine, the club managed to run 54 races with four courses for 29er, 420s, Fevas, Radial, Full Laser, 4.7, Opti Red, White, Blue and Green. Friday evening saw

Officers, and socialize. The wind was good and races were being completed by all fleets. After the racing, chili, face painting, pumpkin carving, and hot chocolate were available. Over 400 were served an evening meal with five gallons of pickles followed by a Question Contest for the older sailors and a film for the younger ones. Occasional visits from someone on a broom brought more entertainment to the event. Before and after the day, the organizing committee had meetings with the coaches. Sunday brought more sun but the wind was shifty. What started as an outflow from the north turned into a westerly
Sloop Tavern Yacht Club Fall Regatta
and the race committees had to make changes. Some fleets were lucky and some, like the Opti green, missed the shifts. On the return to the docks, awards were given out, and everyone packed up ready for long drives home. We would like to thank everyone from the U.S. for coming up, the 32 coaches, and also to the competitor from Manitoba...so far from home. Top competitors were Dieter Creitz, from Seattle, who won four of six races on the Opti Championship course and Maura Dewey, who won five of seven races in the Laser Radials. Pumpkin is one of the most popular events in the Northwest. The scenery is spectacular, the wind in most cases cooperates and with sunshine, it cannot be matched. With over 80 volunteers on the water in safety, spectator, and race committee boats, and then another 60 on the land assisting boat launching, lunches, parking, registration information; it is an incredible effort from the club
to make the event such a success. Thanks should be given to the club staff and volunteers for their effort with the event. How do we sum up a regatta? This comment from a sailor ’s parent reflects fully the positive feedback we heard: “This was our boys’ first venture out to the regatta at West Van for the Pumpkin Bowl! It was truly a wonderful experience. Our boys commented on how welcoming everyone was - all the volunteers were approachable and supportive. No doubt the candy and movie further added to the kid - friendliness of the experience! The whole event really nurtures a sense of community. Our boys left saying that this is one regatta they definitely will come back to.” See you at the 20th Pumpkin in 2019! by Bev Parslow photos by Alyson Sydor and Commodore Phil Aldrich results on page 47

Racing in a new boat is all about discovery, trying to find the right settings for sails and rigs to be fast on the water. The forecast for the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s Fall Regatta was for 6 to 7 knots and foggy, and as it turned out, the weather forecast was a little shy - we started in 10 knots of a northerly wind, and it increased as the day progressed. The first race started in front of the breakwater and went north to Spring Beach and back to the starting line. The beat upwind started off the line with the favored end being the committee boat. We had a good start midline and, on a port tack, headed to the beach to gain some shoreline advantages. Tacking back out into the flooding current was not as favorable heading straight north to the windward mark. Heading north on a port tack the wind increased, and we traded positions several times throughout the leg with others in our class, eventually holding our position to the mark rounding. Downwind was just a lot of fun with the kite up. It was a drag race to the finish line, and crossing in a group of boats added excitement. The second race favored the committee boat again, and as we clustered at the start, we were fortunate to have a clear lane and room beside us to fall off, accelerating away from the starting line. We headed north to the Meadow Point buoy. Around the windward mark, our launch of the kite was much better and downwind we went. This time the leeward mark was West Point, and with Shiva, a J/29, right behind us, we battled for clean air trying to stay on the layine to the mark. Jibing to stay in the current kept us going fast around the mark and upwind to the finish. Unfortunately, we picked up a large mass of crabgrass three tacks before the finish line, and the boat went very slowly and everyone else went past us... oh well, that’s sailboat racing. by Scott McConnell results on page 47 45

quality yachts from swiftsureyachts.com Spindrift Hallberg-Rassy 34 2000 • $155,000
Nearly 500 hulls can’t be wrong. 484 to be exact – that’s the total number of Hallberg-Rassy 34s produced over a sixteen-year production run. A very impressive quantity for a cruising yacht of this pedigree. Slipping the docklines for a beautiful afternoon sail on Elliott Bay, we were reminded of how sweet this model is. Fenders and docklines stowed, Spindrift was soon under sail and off across Puget Sound, her German Frers designed hull easily propelled by her moderate sailplan. At 34 feet, she’s small enough so one doesn’t hesitate to get away from the dock for an evening sail, but large enough to easily accommodate a family for a few weeks of cruising up North. And like her larger sisterships, she exemplifies the fine construction details, woodwork and beauty of design Hallberg-Rassy is known for. price reduced
