Seeing Sailing With Fresh Eyes One of the most rewarding experiences of my year is to be a part of the Discover Sailing boat rides at the Boats Afloat Show on Lake Union. Though brief, witnessing a person’s first moments under sail always buoys me, refocusing my lens on how easy and exciting it is to expose people to sailing. This year, as we typically do, 48° North facilitated the rides while the good folks from Seattle Sailing Club and Lake Union Charters and Adventures got people on the water. So, while I wasn’t the person handing off the tiller this year, I was grateful that so many riders returned to the booth to say thanks and to share the thrill of the experience they just had. The rides in 2017 offered sailors a chance to sail on fun, responsive sloop-rigged boats and also to heave as a crew to hoist sail on the 63’ schooner, Lavengro - a grand old yacht that’s 91 years young. It was a wonderful, almost ironic, revelation to watch young people (some of whom no doubt make their livings in the hyper-modern tech industry) go wide-eyed and grinning at the sight of their stately century-old wooden ride. All of this is taking place just a few hundred feet away from what has become the beating heart of the tech world - the Amazon campus at South Lake Union. In a way, the same experience is available to anyone who attended the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend. Though WBF attendees generally have more background in boats (sometimes a whole lot more), I’ve seen lifelong sailors go weak in the knees. It’s not just from the beauty of the boats, either; though many are breathtaking. There’s a spirit of discovery in learning about old boats treasure-hunting for a shred of light shed on the lives of a boat’s previous stewards, of magnificent adventures at sea, of landfall made in a world that looked much different than the one we know today. There’s also the exciting discoveries about the accessibility of the ancient trades necessary to keep the venerable boats alive. With simple tools and practice, you don’t need a degree to work on any part of your wooden boat. As amazing as carbon fiber is, it’s just not as accessible... at least not yet. Nonetheless, driving or sailing away from the Wooden Boat Fest has always made me look at all boats a little differently. I’d describe it as a feeling of license, the wheels in my head turning over ideas like: I think I might be able to build that boat; or, I’m going to learn about steam bending; or, I wonder if I could track down the great grandson of that boat’s original owner and exchange pictures of the same boat sailing in three different centuries; or, musing that I, too, could cut the lines and sail that far-off ocean in a little, wooden boat. I like to imagine that this feeling of license is at least a part of what is in the hearts and minds of those riders on Lake Union who felt wind fill the sails for the first time - that the world of sailing can be theirs. Maybe it’s also reassuring that a boat like Lavengro has given safe passage and a wealth of knowledge to hundreds and hundreds of others over the years. It’s as if these unveilings of lifestyle, history, and accessibility reverberate against the lives of sailors and adventurers who have gone before us, fueling the fire of exploration and driving us to discover. Not only has every sailor had his or her own experience of those revelatory moments, but that thirst to discover remains a governing principle as we continue to sail. Who plans a cruise with the same itinerary each year? No one I know. I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline Editor, 48° North

I got this photo of Spike Africa, out of Friday Harbor, if you have a use for it. This wasn’t a promotional stunt, just a chance encounter while out sailing myself this summer and we literally crossed paths. I loved your stories about the Race to Alaska, by the way - a hardier breed of sailor than us.

I picked up the September 2017 48° North Magazine today, with the article that features the Ballard High School Maritime Academy (page 49). It was a great article and I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your past and present support of the Ballard High School Maritime Academy and the Youth Maritime Training Academy (YMTA). However, on page 51, it quotes me, “who taught at the school for 15 years.” That is a misquote. I was a member of the maritime academy and worked with the maritime students. I was not a teacher or a paid member of the Seattle School District. It would have been an honor to have taught maritime classes, but that was not the case. I was only a volunteer. Thanks once again for your support of Ballard High School Maritime Academy and YMTA in promoting the mariners of tomorrow.

Women Who Sail Rally Hi Joe and Karen, Women Who Sail (and Power Cruise) Pacific NW is a very active Facebook group. In the three years since Judy Nasmith, Kelly Resvick Moloney, and Lorraine Willgress created the group, it’s grown to over 1,100 members. A “closed” group, it’s limited to women only, enabling lots of candid discussions of topics that wouldn’t work in an “open” group. I’ve really enjoyed being part of this group, and getting to know other women boaters from our Salish Sea. But, since many of the members are up in British Columbia, I’ve not had a chance to meet them face-to-face. Last month, the group had its first in-person rally in Canada’s Gulf Islands. The group chose to meet up in Ganges Harbor, on Salt Spring Island. About 20 of us enjoyed the Saturday market together, then a wine-tasting tour, and a happy hour potluck on the dock (where this picture was taken by Terry Claydon). The next morning, the flotilla headed over to Montague and took the infamous pub bus, with lots of laughter and singing. It was great to see many familiar faces there! Having collaborated with Judy Nasmith or Kelly Resfick Maloney to promote NW women’s boating before, they instantly seemed like old friends. Edith Eaton, from Cowichan Bay, BC, teaches sailing to members of Canada’s Navy, as I do for the U.S. in Annapolis, so we enjoyed comparing notes. Even old friend Holly Scott, new owner of “Charlie’s Charts,” was there from Southern California. The weekend ended much too quickly… but we look forward to future gatherings! All women interested in Pacific NW boating are invited to join the Women Who Sail (and power cruise) Pacific NW Facebook group. Just search for the name and click ‘ask to join’. Happy Sailing!

I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it— but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. — Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
October 2017
Dear 48° North Community, Ned Flohr passed away September 1, 2017. He was my mentor, my skipper, my friend. Years ago, he invited me to sail on his Barnett 47, Tin Man. With the exception of his daughter, Jeanne, I would usually be the only female on board and endured the saltiest of talk. He loved life, sailing, and telling the raunchiest jokes. He made me laugh the entire time. He lived life to an extraordinary degree - they broke the mold after him. He was astoundingly generous of his time, money, and efforts. I did the Oregon Offshore on Tin Man and it was incredible. Ned and I took the night shift and it was so quiet, so peaceful on the ocean. He pointed out the stars as we tried to find the other mast lights. The next night, as I was going off shift, Ned called me back up, he was so excited... the full moon was just coming up. It looked so large out on the ocean. Ned loved helping others in any way that he could. He was inclusive of everybody. Ned lived life on his own terms, and derived enormous satisfaction from community involvement. www.48North.com
Letters His longtime service as an usher at his parish, St. James Cathedral, brought him much joy. In the world of sailing, he was passionate about his involvement with the West Marine Pacific Cup, both as a race participant, a boat inspector, and on the board of directors. In 1988, Father Bill Sullivan, president of Seattle University, joined Ned as crew to Hawaii - I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that trip. Ned did the race many times over the years and was a huge supporter of the event. Former Pacific Cup Commodore, Mary Lovely, looked back at the time when one of the race boats was balking at having to carry the required safety equipment, but Ned insisted. Good thing too, because during the race, that boat was hit by a tanker and sank within minutes. If they hadn’t had the safety equipment, they would not have survived. As Mary put it, “Those sailors owe their lives to Ned.” I imagine that anyone who ever knew Ned, as a sailor, a colleague, or a friend, feels indebted to him one way or another. “Even Jesus Christ owes Ned a favor,” says Cricket Austin, who has known Ned her whole life. Fair winds and following seas, Ned.

Cool UW Navy ROTC Collaboration Hey Joe, I thought you’d like this. We recently had the Navy 44, Vigilant, in the yard. It was getting cleaned up to be put back in to service for the UW Navy ROTC program. Basically, the Navy decided to get out of the boat-in-the-ROTC business and put the boats out for government surplus. A group of retired Navy/UW guys, created a foundation, acquired the boat, and cleaned it up for the UW NROTC to use. We had lots of midshipmen coming by this summer to clean, rebed, etc. It’s a cool story, and great to see people rallying to support the program.

fter the wettest Fall-WinterSpring since 1895 and then a 72-day record dry streak this summer, it’s no surprise some of us were a tinge disappointed with the Festival forecast. For years, the Weather Gods have spared us chilly, gray days and morning drizzle, but, the saltiest of the salty came anyway. Below decks, packed in meeting rooms, and huddled under tents, attendees engaged in this Festival’s trademark energy - passionate optimism and irrepressible creativity. The intoxicating conversations filled every nook and cranny that in other, “bigger attendance” years, may have been slightly wasted in nice, but comparatively frivolous small talk or standing in line. This time, every conversation was laced with concentrated urgency and a fresh, edgy, spirit of collaboration that looked, sounded, and felt like those impassioned, idealistic, and wisely

Point Hudson Marina filled with everything wood.
rebellious young Festival founders and wooden boat legends of the 1970s. Also typical to the community was honor and reverence. There were pauses to remember some of those who left us (Dick Wagner and John West) and some who are still here and received WBF Lifetime Achievement Awards (Tim Nolan, Jim Blaiklock, and Miguel Winterburn). By the end, not a dry eye in the place. Tender hearts were safe in the careful hands of shipwright presenters, Sam Devlin, Diana Talley, Andrew Breece, and Ernie Baird. Up to a week before the Festival, I planned to raft my boat, PAX, with other locally restored Danish spidsgatters, the Malle and Cito. Instead, PAX’s latest restoration was on display in what got lovingly dubbed “Festival South,” on the hard Kevin Ritz, 15 year veteran of national marine at Haven Boatworks in the electrical system designs, teaches at the NWSWBB Port’s shipyard at the other woodworking stage.

My unplanned boatless-ness meant I’d spend more time in the Author Tent instead of on Pax, ensconced in conversations with Lin Pardey, Jay Benford, Jonathan White, and Wendy Hinman. Every hour, a wave set of top-notch presenters and inspired attendees rolled by, stopping to talk in front of the Sail Loft. The Edensaw Boatbuilding Challenge, featured the most ingenious designs ever and six teams of builders. The new Paddle Board Pool (inspired no doubt by Karl Kruger’s epic finish in the R2AK) was on one end, youth educators explored new programs with the 23’ Felicity Ann (Ann Davison’s boat, the first woman to solo the Atlantic) in the center, and the Northwest Maritime Center and NW School of Wooden Boatbuilding stages at the entrance - all were packed. In all, 23 different venues guaranteed the Festival was awash in education and buoyed with ideas for all ages. First time attendees from the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart, Tasmania, were “gobsmacked.” The record number of schooners and diverse range of boats impressed them, 13

but it was the breadth and depth of expertise, with deep roots in the region, that blew them away. As leaders of the largest wooden boat gathering in the southern hemisphere, they wanted to pack us all up and take us “down under” - which is good - since America is the guest country in February 2019. If you’re interested in participating or attending, stay tuned. Plans are underway!
Big dreams with international ties, the ones we make so easily as sailor citizens of the blue part of the globe, billowed like spinnakers all weekend: Maple-leaf flagged Canadian boats in the harbor; around America’s solo sailor, Matt Rutherford; world circumnavigator, Pam Wall, whose home was being pounded by Hurricane Irma; South African Dudley Dix, who survived an ocean capsize; Lin Pardey,
with the young New Zealanders Eben and Annie, who now own her and Larry’s Taleisin. There are wooden boats owners who are collaborating to save the planet and I met some of them in the beautifully restored, aft cabin of the 1929 classic yacht, Seven Bells. There were captains, scientists, and visionaries who are climate change defibrillators not deniers. Some, like the crew of the totally green systems Ama Natura, have bundled the work right into their boat. With Pax now relaunched, it’s time to pencil in next year’s dates, September 7-9, 2018 and dream of what’s next, undaunted and undeterred, like fellow travelers in the world of wooden boats. Kaci Cronkhite lives in Port Townsend, Pax’s homeport. She is author of Finding PAX and served a decade at the helm of the Wooden Boat Festival. kacicronkhite.com

Jimmy Spithill is arguably one of the world’s greatest skippers and double winner of the America’s Cup; winner of the Sydney Hobart; multiple world champion in match and fleet racing... the list goes on. And on a day off, he’ll paddleboard 32 miles through Hawaiian double overhead waves. What goes on inside the head of this extremely focused man who is a true pioneer in the game
called sailing? Here he tells his rags-to-riches story of fierce determination, court cases, seasickness, crashed boats and cars, alcohol, the greatest comeback ever in sporting history and the dramatic 2017 America’s Cup defense. All of it contributed to turning a quiet, bullied, water-loving blue-collar redhead born in Sydney into one of sailing’s biggest rockstars. Far from the official media-
trained account so often found in the closed-off world of the America’s Cup, Jimmy’s open, honest style gives us a rare insight into what goes on inside the head of a man at the top of his game. A compelling read, with many lessons in leadership, teamwork and achieving your dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem. Chasing The Cup, My America’s Cup Journey by Jimmy Spithill with Rob Mundle, $25. 00 .
Nicholas Fallon is captain of the schooner Sea Dog, a privateer that is fast, beautiful, and deadly. Unbound by Royal Navy tradition, Fallon enjoys total independence in where he goes, how he fights, and whom he takes as crew. A woman, Beauty McFarland, is his first lieutenant. It’s 1796, and Sea Dog’s owner, Ezra Somers, employs Fallon to protect his Caribbean salt trade from French privateers and pirates. Wicked Jak Clayton is especially ruthless. When the
two meet just off the Bahamas, even Fallon’s cunning can’t overcome their mismatch in firepower and desertion by a cowardly ally. Later, in Bermuda, Fallon is enlisted by the Royal Navy to intercept a Spanish flotilla carrying gold and silver to France. But a massive hurricane halts the British attack on the Spanish transports, driving several ships, including Fallon’s, onto
the Florida shore. Held by Spanish soldiers, Fallon and the surviving crew escape by turning enemies into friends. Once free, only one mission remains. Wicked Jak Clayton must die! The Bermuda Privateer is an action-filled sea story with layered story lines and a modern storyteller’s voice. The Bermuda Privateer by William Westbrook, $22.95.

Maritime Trivia
The word marinate originally applied only to fish, thus its origin, from the Latin mare, meaning “the sea.” A common menu item in England is Angels on Horseback, oysters wrapped in bacon and baked. Archaeologists have found oyster middens dating from 2000 B.C. along the Louisiana coastline. Oysters Rockefeller was introduced around 1900 at Antoine’s Restaurant in New Orleans as a nameless dish until the first customer sampled it and declared it “as rich as Rockefeller.” Its name appeared on the menu thereafter. The oyster is a cousin of the scallop, but unlike scallops, oysters can’t swim. The Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York offers a different menu daily. In 2012, two menus from the Titanic sold at auction in Great Britain for approximately £100,000.

The world’s first underwater restaurant, Ithaa, in the Maldives, opened in 2004, offering the first underwater menu.
Lowtide A prominent item on menus in high-end restaurants and seafood markets is Chilean seabass, which is neither seabass nor Chilean, but is simply a marketing term for the fish’s not so appealing real name - Patagonian toothfish. Ditto for orange roughy, a New Zealand fish whose real name is slimehead.
Gourmets contend that female lobsters taste better than males.
Lemon sole doesn’t mean the fish is cooked with lemon. It’s a translation of the French word limande, meaning any kind of flatfish, which is redundant because all sole, like flounder, are flatfish.
At some locations on the eastern shore of Maryland, McDonald’s offers on its menu a crab cake.
Bisque of shrimps a la Melville was added to Delmonico’s menu to honor Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick.
The phrase “Happy hour” emerged in the U.S. Navy during the 1920s and was a scheduled entertainment period onboard ships during which boxing and wrestling matches were held. It gradually spread to the civilian community of restaurants and bars.
A sea cucumber resembles a cucumber but is a sea animal related to sea urchins and starfish. The Chinese eat it dried and call it trepang, and like so many other of their delicacies, they consider it an aphrodisiac, which in itself is a myth.
In Canada, McDonald’s offers on its menu the McLobster sandwich, a type of lobster roll.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
Awesome Ted In the waning days of August, a band of volatile weather pushed away from Africa. Storm seeds fertilized by warm Atlantic water, growing violent. To the west 2,600 miles, Totem was anchored by Dominica, an island nation in the Lesser Antilles. These are the eastern islands of the Caribbean, which coincidentally are the bullseye that hurricanes, meander to. Nomadic Totem, paused at the crossroads fight and flight, was soon underway. Most people living ON the target, don’t have a choice. To the north, all mud and crab pots, it’s a wonder that boating’s even possible in Chesapeake Bay. Yet, the bay’s natural beauty and just-enoughwater to fly over, cultivates many a keen-eyed sailor. Running afoul of the bottom or a pot line is a minor distraction; bug splat on a car window. It is Chesapeake’s picturesque creeks and lush, craggy edges with whispering ghosts that draw out sailors’ wanderlust, and sends them over the horizon. Sailor Ted is from the Chesapeake Bay. With his wife, awesome Claudia, and their two children, they sailed south to the tropics. Their home is a Wauquiez Amphitrite 43 named Demeter, for the Greek goddess of harvest and agriculture. After Caribbean cruising for a while, the family paused in Nanny Cay, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (BVI). Could there be a better place than this past pirate paradise to replenish the family treasure? Tortola is just ten miles long, by three and a half wide, but it’s a powerhouse

of boating activities. A charter captain, another paused cruiser living aboard, told us that The Moorings fleet alone has over 1,000 boats. Add to that other charter companies and cruisers that flock there, and there is a whole lot of boating going on! To support this, there is a correspondingly big marine infrastructure of marinas, chandleries, yacht brokers, surveyors, yacht management services and all manner of boat shops. Tortola is a modern-day version of Nantucket during the time of whalers. Our Chesapeake sailor friend, talented Ted, was soon managing the Yamaha and AB Inflatables dealership. Sixteen days before Irma became a named storm, Totem arrived in Tortola. Hurricane Gert was at category 2 strength and forecasted to be a close but safe pass by the BVIs. Forecast is not fact. Generous Ted offered his marina slip to Totem since Demeter was hauled out. Handyman Ted recently finished removing the old teak deck, so Demeter was out for a topsides paint job. Passing 300 miles south, and no concern for Tortola was tropical depression Harvey, on the way to give a powerful right hook to Texas. From Demeter’s slip, we watched Gert slip past with barely any bluster. Totem and Demeter kids were fast friends; there were sleepovers. Facilitator Ted organized sailboat racing in modified J/24s. Behan and I crewed and the kids did race committee. Tour guide Ted drove us around the island, showing us favorite spots. Adventure Ted took us out in his fast RIB, named Hades, to snorkel nearby islands. Salesman Ted helped us buy a new dinghy. And when salesman Ted stepped out, generous Ted wouldn’t take payment to let his shop mechanic service our sputtering outboard. Spectator Ted joined us to observe the solar eclipse using our sextant. Social Ted introduced us to yachty-types hanging around offseason. Near as we could tell, Ted knew everyone in Tortola. Being nomadic means saying goodbye. The BVIs were beautiful and fun, but we were late to get away October 2017

from hurricane alley. Hours before departure, with Gert safely past, two guys showed up to clean Totem’s bottom. I said they had the wrong boat. “No”, they said, Claudia and overthe-top Ted were giving us a going away gift. Land people probably don’t get this, but there is nothing more endearing to fellow sailors than the gift of a clean bottom. Broadcaster Ted, shared storm forecasts from sources that we didn’t know about. Over a few days and 330 miles, Totem hopped to Guadeloupe, Dominica, and Martinique. Back in Tortola, work on Demeter finished up. She was launched and secured back in her slip. At this time, a spark captured the attention of Chesapeake Ted, Totem’s crew, the charter captains, baguette bakers, and just about everyone in the northern Caribbean. Named storm, Irma, became a category 3 hurricane overnight. Angry Irma was aiming at likeable Ted and his many friends. Later, when Irma was past the Caribbean on the way to Florida, many Floridians were issued a mandatory evacuation. Flight. As Irma approached the Caribbean, there was but one option – stay and fight. Thousands across the islands began preparing. Responsible Ted prepared his family, his home, and his workplace. Preparing for a normal hurricane is work, and play. Removing sails and biminis or boarding up windows is physical effort with a due-by date. There’s no time to dawdle. But, seeing neighbors going through the same efforts, brings comradery and excitement. Preparing for Irma, approaching as a category 5 hurricane with massive diameter, was not normal. Irma’s winds sustained at 185 mph, with higher gusts. Forecasts suggested Martinique could get storm force winds to 50 knots. We wanted less, so had an easy sail a little further south to St Lucia. Tired Ted and everyone else up north were working to procure food and water; to secure their possessions. Rigger Ted posted pictures of Demeter being prepared with lines spider webbed to the dock, anchors set, and extra fenders in place. Everyone with a boat in a hurricane knows that your
boat is only as safe as the least prepared boat in the bay. One breakaway can take out ten boats in its path. Exhausted Ted posted that they’d done everything they could to prepare. Messages of support and encouragement came pouring in. Author Fatty Goodlander in Grenada, and the fine people from ‘On The Wind’ Podcast in Sweden, and other sailors in far corners of the world wished hopeful Ted and Claudia the best of luck. Popular Ted didn’t just know everyone in Tortola, he knows everyone. The world seems a pretty big place from the deck of a sailboat. You can’t even see to the other side! Knowing Irma was going to hurt conjured up a collective presence. People cared. The world shrank. Just before midnight on September 5th, Irma blasted the tiny island of Barbuda. We were riveted, watching weather station reporting real-time winds. 100 knots. 130 knots. Silence… One by one, the stations went offline. Overhead, grey sky and clouds moved northeast towards monster Irma; a local guy whistled and said, “when clouds goin’ dat way, gonna to be a big storm, mon.” We knew Irma’s wrath was in full spin. Prudent Ted and family were in a safe place on shore. Demeter was on her own. Totem, in St. Lucia, had maximum sustained winds of 15 knots, with a peak gust to 29. We had options. We are so lucky to have options. Maybe you’ve seen photos trickling out from Irma’s Caribbean rage. The one of Paraquita Bay, a “hurricane hole” we passed two weeks before, with a fleet of shiny white boats crushed and flipped on top of each other. The one of Nanny Cay: boats and docks, smashed. News was slow to emerge. Snippets only. Devastation to property, people, and nature. What of the friends and people that touched us? What of battered Ted and his family? A boat I evaluated for a friend a few weeks prior was sunk. The charter captain that sized up the Moorings fleet, lost his boat. What little news there was, was bad. It’s now eight days later. Communication, like food, water, and safety is tenuous in Tortola. Worse still in St. Maarten, were people are desperate and some violent. The entire population of Barbuda was evacuated. The news cycle that is so influential
to our beliefs, has moved on. There’s another story, somewhere else. The world is no longer small. That moment passed, again. Survivor Ted and family made it. I have a slow speed text exchange going on with reporter Ted. I ask a question, the next day a few sentences come back. Manager Ted became safety Ted, now as head of security for the marina complex. “Are you safe Ted?” I messaged. Texting Ted replied this morning with, “Yes, lots of evac[uations] happening. With Royal Marines and martial law, things are pretty stable.” Reality Ted went on to
say that the schools are destroyed. He and Claudia will get the kids to the US, to family by the Chesapeake Bay, and back in school. Among all that was lost, Demeter was found with only superficial damage, the new paint unblemished. Claudia and reconstruction Ted will stay in Nanny Cay, to help make their community right again. Irma is a painful memory. More volatile weather is crossing the Atlantic. Totem is safely in Grenada. Resolute Ted is on the job.

r e w o h S g n i s i u Cr e h t f o t r A e h T By Becca Guillote
I live on a sailboat. It has many of the amenities that a home on land has – like a kitchen with a stove and oven, two beds, a bathroom with a toilet and running water, and plenty of storage, at least for my small number of belongings. It is home, and I don’t feel like I make many sacrifices to live in it. There are a few conveniences, however, of land-living that our boat-living lacks, such as unlimited electricity, a flat space large enough for a yoga mat, and, most notably, a shower. It is the missing shower that causes friends and acquaintances to cock their heads with a slightly furrowed brow and a concerned “better you than me” look on their faces. But like so many irritations and challenges in our lives, not having a shower at home has offered unforgettable experiences and instilled a true appreciation for a good, long, free, clean bath. When we lived aboard in Seattle, our marina provided dependable hot showers on land. This was a simple solution, provided I could scrape up enough quarters on any given day. And of course, it required occasionally stepping out of the shower and squinting through streams of shampoo to deposit another $0.25, then banging on the side of the coin machine at just the right angle to turn on another 2 minutes of water. 22
Leaving Seattle to go cruising, we had visions of lazy days spent splashing about in the warm clear ocean, complete with a sun-warmed freshwater rinse at the end of the day. In these visions, we managed to skim over the first five months of the adventure, in which we sailed through waters too cold for daily bathing, often anchored close to other boats but far from any shore facilities. Showering soon became part of the adventure. Sometimes desperation led to bowls of tea kettle water and a few wet wipes. Other times nature provided in the most dramatic fashion. Here are a few of the most memorable bathing stories of the adventure so far. When we stopped on Compton Island to visit Orca Dreams, a safaristyle whale watching “glamping” operation owned by an old friend, JD, we were in desperate need of a good scrub. We had been bashing north through the inside passage for a few weeks, not yet experts in the art of “baby wipe baths,” exploring islands and acclimatizing to life on the move. When JD offered a shower, we took him up on it at once (for the benefit of his paying guests, we declared). And what a shower it was. A 3-sided structure made of driftwood and ingenuity perched on the edge of a hill overlooking Blackfish sound. The October 2017
www.48North.com
camp’s location in a rainforest ensured unlimited gravity-fed spring water and a small propane system heated that sweet freshwater on the spot. The fourth side of the shower, open to the expanse of the Broughton’s, offered magnificent views of whales frolicking in the waters below, as the salt and dirt and stress of the previous weeks washed away. We returned to camp for homemade local berry crisp feeling rejuvenated and much less smelly. Tucked in the lee of Brooks Peninsula on the west coast of Vancouver Island, we hiked over the bluff and onto an endless Pacific beach covered in mangled driftwood with huge weather-beaten boulders scattered across it like a giant’s abandoned game of marbles. The forested cliffs offered a dramatic backdrop and a seemingly endless freshwater supply that collected in divots and recessed pools created by retreating waves or giants’ footprints. I tentatively slid my cold toes into the water, braced for numbness, but the tannins that tumbled down the cliffs with the rain settled into the pools to soak up any heat the sun would spare. It was no Jacuzzi, but it was warm enough for a refreshing dip on a cold day. How liberating to bathe on a beach at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, without sign of human presence as far
Photo by John Guillote. The brown pool in the sand (right) on Vancouver Island’s west coast is one of the finest baths these cruisers have ever experienced! as the eye could see. The long shallow anchorage of Sausalito in San Francisco Bay was crowded. The transients huddled near the front and waited for the first winter storms to blow through. The permanents filled up the back, a derelict crowd of misfits exploiting the last free anchorage in the Bay. Summer had ended as the storms blew in, and the water was uninvitingly cold. Without privacy to shower on deck, accessible shore amenities, or the cajones to jump over the side, we spent the better part of a month surviving on baby wipe baths and the generosity (or maybe it was the pity) of a few friends. Each shower was hard-fought, well earned, and much appreciated. I have rarely been so grateful for something as simple as hot running water. The guidebooks promised calm seas, a quaint town, strong wifi and clean facilities in San Blas, which sounded perfectly glorious after a week spent bucking and yawing at Isla Isabella in the most uncomfortable anchorage we’d experienced. The marina manager reinforced our excitement with cheap nightly rates and news of their hot tub, located just upstairs. He chuckled at our exaggerated excitement as we chattered about a good, long soak that evening. While we had arrived in Mexico, the nights still cooled off enough to require an extra layer or two, which made the hot tub even more enticing. After dinner, we gathered towels and beers and headed upstairs. It only took one toe entering the water for the receptors in my brain to register the shock. Cold! There was nothing hot about that hot tub. In fact, the swimming pool next to it had warmer water, heated from sunlight throughout the day. The “hot” tub, on the other
hand, was tucked under an awning. OK, I thought, perhaps the marina requires advance notice so they can turn on the heat, a logical condition if they were looking to keep costs down. Somewhat disappointed, we headed downstairs to shower instead. It, too, was frigidly cold. On second thought, perhaps their water heater was broken. But a short conversation the following morning with our friendly marina manager confirmed that the facility didn’t have – and had never had – hot water. I politely encouraged him to leave out the promise of a hot tub to future cruising guests in an effort to curb disgruntled customers. Then I
took a cold shower. Cruising is all about embracing the excitement and adversity of traveling, of living aboard, and of navigating the unknown. Our bathing experiences have certainly embodied the adventure, from short cold rinses in dirty moldy boatyard buildings to glorious steaming showers with impressive views. And, if all else fails, I always have a stash of baby wipes. Becca and John will soon return to “Halcyon” and their wild bathing regimen. Follow their cruising adventures at halcyonwandering.com/

“You Know More Than You Think You Do!” One Woman’s Discoveries about Equal Partnerships, Sailing Knowledge, and Self-Confidence By Irene Panke Hopkins
On a recent sunny evening, a handful of women from my dock at Shilshole Bay Marina watched in awe as Cathy, our liveaboard neighbor, rode the boson’s chair up the mast to help messenger in the spinnaker halyard on her new boat. As we watched, one of us asked, almost in a whisper, “Have you ever gone up in a boson’s chair?” A quiet chorus of “nopes” was the unanimous response. The ensuing conversation revealed our respect for the women in our community who do it all: wiring, repairs, rigging and hard-core sailing, be it racing or local and bluewater cruising. But it also exposed our individual and collective feelings of inadequacy compared to many of our fellow boaters when it comes to the more technical aspects of boating. Speaking for myself, I have definitely suffered from imposter syndrome when defining myself as a “boater” despite 30 years of cruising and nearly 10 years living aboard. However, at this point, if I were to list all that I know about boating, it would be impressive, even to me. So what that I don’t change the oil, or water the batteries, or put new belts on the alternator. Knowing that those are even “things” counts. When we began cruising many years ago, my husband, Dan, who grew up sailing and ran his own marine electrical and systems business, took charge. I had already fallen in love with 24
the water: the sparkle of sunlight on the overhead, the vast scenic vistas, the salty smell of low tide and the constant breeze caressing my face. When the wind filled the jib, steadying us and pulling us across the Sound, I felt pure elation. But I didn’t know AC from DC and no matter how many times Dan explained mechanical details to me, they just didn’t stick. Instead, I focused on making our boat a summer home. I provisioned and made curtains and tended to our young children who needed to be corralled and sunscreened and life-jacketed. I nurtured in them an appreciation of our natural surroundings, watching for porpoises and whales in the water, eagles and bears onshore. I studied guidebooks for the areas we cruised and read directions to Dan as he navigated into inlets and anchorages before electronic charts simplified that aspect of cruising. Our roles fell into the traditional gendered designations “pink” and “blue,” and it worked for us. Dan was happy handling his stuff and I was content with my role. We evolved as a boating couple, doing what each of us did best. Years passed; we cruised further up the coast each summer; changing boats to suit our needs, culminating with the Discovery 42 that we now own. Without realizing it, I gradually became more adept at navigation and the functional aspects of our trips. I could confidently relieve Dan at the October 2017

helm during long passages. I hooked onto mooring buoys and, at a dock, jumped off with the lines and tied us up. When we anchored, Dan headed up to the bow and I stayed at the helm, backing down until I felt the anchor set and got a thumbs up from Dan. I learned how to predict the length of a passage using basic navigational tools and I listened more closely to the marine weather for wind and sea predictions. By the time we sold our house and moved aboard, we had spent 20 years cruising between Seattle and Prince Rupert. Nonetheless, I continued to sell myself short when it came to my role in our boating life. “You know more than you think you do,” Dan always reminded me when I bemoaned feelings of ineptitude. “Osmosis is a powerful learning tool.” I learned the truth of Dan’s words the hard way. When Dan was in a serious accident several years ago, I was forced to take the lead, making sure things were functioning properly on the boat. Knowing what questions to ask proved to me how much I knew. We were living aboard and the boat was in good shape thanks to Dan’s fastidious maintenance. Fortunately, after a few years, Dan recovered enough for us to begin cruising again. Before we got back out there, we scheduled a long overdue haul-out and spent three weeks in the yard, repairing the hull, replacing the zincs and painting the entire boat from the gunwales down. I was there everyday, sweating and swearing along with my husband and the kind souls who helped us. I was one of the few women in the yard and hated every minute of it, but it had to be done. In addition to helping with the work, I set up a break area: table and chairs, umbrella, a cooler full of drinks and regularly replenished snacks. I thought it would make things just a bit easier and as it turns out it was very much appreciated by other customers in the yard as well as boat yard employees who joined us from time to time. “I’ve never seen anything like this here,” said one awestruck yard-worker. I took it as a compliment! As we cruised for the first time after Dan’s accident, I paid closer attention to tides and currents than I ever had, double-checking Dan’s
timing. I stood at the helm with him, reading the chart and scanning the water for obstructions. With no kids to tend to, we worked together to get our sea legs back and move into a different phase of cruising as a couple. When our prop became fouled by a line while anchoring in Frances Bay, just south of Yuculta Rapids, we knew that a dive was imperative. The last time we had a line around our prop was many years ago when we first started cruising. It did not occur to me back then to even offer to dive. But this time around, I knew that Dan was not up to it. As we limped into Von Donop Inlet on Cortes Island, hoping the water might be a bit warmer, I announced, “I’m going to do the dive.” Dan protested – but not too much. I squeezed into a wetsuit, grabbed a mask and a boat hook, and lowered myself into the water. It took the better part of an hour, taking a breath, going down, detangling a portion and then coming up for air. When the prop was finally freed, Dan was warm and dry and smiling! I was wet and cold, but my smile was bigger than his. Because I did it!
Would my neighbors have been as impressed watching me free dive as we all were with Cathy in the boson’s chair? Probably. I knew exactly where the prop was having spent so much time under the boat in the yard. It didn’t seem like such a big deal at the time. But it’s now on my list of things I have done and can do. Our to-do list for a two-month cruise this summer was long. Together we prepped and painted a cove stripe and applied the boat’s name to the hull. Dan installed solar panels, and did a host of other maintenance and upgrade projects. While he was working on those things, I gathered our navigation books, organized and studied charts, and provisioned the boat. I bought new rugs and made sure everything was stowed and tidy. I knew without any doubt that what I was doing was important. While on Malcolm Island, near the northern tip of Vancouver Island, we met a couple cruising the upper Johnstone Strait area for the first time. They asked us a question about conditions and bailout plans, which I would normally have deferred to
Dan. But I knew the answer and so I responded immediately. As the words came out of my mouth I felt a surge of confidence, realizing how much experience I have gained over the years. There are as many levels of competency and involvement as there are women (and men for that matter) in the boating community. We work as a team and all contributions have worth, whether we are installing solar panels or making the boat a home. Let’s kick gender designations to the curb because everything we do makes a difference, for the better, in our boating experience. Irene and Dan have returned from cruising and are back at home in Seattle.
So, so much classroom fun!

mission critical. For almost half of our passage, we had big breeze and massive, confused seas. We got hammered for days. It can be stressful to be battered about, to constantly need to be hypervigilant regarding movement about the boat, to forego food and water because it’s a hassle to deal with it, and to lose sleep on top of everything. One of the parts of the brain that deals with ongoing stress is also responsible for decision making, problem solving, staying focused, and rational responses to changing situations. Stressful circumstances that are prolonged wear down the ability to function optimally in these areas. This is also a good time to mention fear, a key part of the stress response. A clever friend of mine refers to fear as “False Evidence Appearing Real.” Like the aforementioned hallucinations, it is easy to become ensnared in fear when things get sporty at sea. After several hours of heavy fretting (during my sleep shift, naturally), I went up into the cockpit with Noj and asked him to tell me why the Ardea was not going to disintegrate and sink in the rough conditions. He laid out a logical argument and I didn’t fret again. One can quickly devolve into sea madness if care is not taken to reduce stress. So why would anyone want go to sea for any length of time? I have an answer for you... the benefits far outweigh the adverse consequences of the (mostly avoidable) sea madness pitfalls. As sailors, we know (without reading all of the science) how beneficial being on, in, or near the water is to our mood and overall feeling of wellness. There is a plethora of research to support this, both subjective, and using objective biometric data. Among other findings, studies show that there is an incredible opportunity for deep healing, and time near the sea has become successful therapy for issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression, and anxiety. Additionally, the sea’s many beneficial effects on the mind are feelings of calm, relaxation, and contentment, as well as clearer thinking, changes in the perception of time, and increased creativity. Several beneficial physiological effects include reduced blood pressure, hormonal balance, and positive changes in respiration.
When cruising, there is often little to do in the way of adjustments to the sails, and when double-handing, most shifts are spent alone. Further, with long passages at sea, time loses meaning, measured only by the flow of shifts at the helm, the sun, the moon, and the stars. The minutiae of changing cloud formations, sea states, and various breezes are of utmost concern. This allows a space for peaceful reflection and calm observation. For me, an interesting thing happened out there. Since experiencing a brain injury while racing a couple of years ago, my brain never fully regained the ability to concentrate well, and has often felt disorganized and noisy since. For the first time in a long while, my brain went silent. I felt incredibly focused. Deep calm descended, and an overarching sense of connection to the sea and its timelessness prevailed. In this space, it’s truly incredible how easy it is to pare down to what really matters. Life, love, and connection, to the sea, to the earth, and to each other. Is this, perhaps, another type of sea madness? Or perhaps a state of mental health not experienced often enough?
Personally, I am leaning toward the latter. One of the best parts is, I am a far better sailor as a result of this shift. I operate from an intuitive place rather than a thinking space, and am able to make the boat sail better and faster in all sorts of conditions. What racer wouldn’t want this side-effect? Whether cruising or racing, long passages at sea can affect your mind, both positively and adversely. Through paying attention to your basic needs and awareness of the neurological adaptation process, it is possible to skip the sea madness and enjoy the many benefits of time at sea. The possibilities for deep healing, increased performance, or even the occasional spiritual epiphany are available to you. One thing is certain: long passages at can sea change you. We arrived at Rapa Nui different people from when we started our passage. We are looking forward to applying this new awareness on our next passage.

Choose and Use
Marine Lubricants By Alex and Jack Wilken
There are a lot of moving parts and pieces on a sailboat, many of which need help from a lubricant to do their jobs reliably and smoothly. In the marine environment, we must not only address friction but corrosion as well. Any attempt to completely list all the items that need lubrication on a boat would surely be incomplete, so we will discuss the available lubricants and their uses, though there is a bewildering array of options. Before we dive into lubricants we need to address the elephant in the engine room: WD40. First off, WD stands for ‘water dispersant.’ It is not a lubricant and does not perform well as one. It is best used as a cleaner to remove old lubricants, grease, and tape residue. It leaves a thin film that helps with water protection, but it can hold dirt and small particulates which can cause problems in precision machinery such as locks. Ok, back to the subject at hand. We need to consider the quality of viscosity to better understand about lubricants. Viscosity describes how a fluid acts when disturbed, with more viscous meaning less distributable. The substance pitch, for example, is approximately 230 billion times more viscous than water, and appears to be nearly a solid. Acetone is less viscous than water and so it flows off surfaces very quickly. If a lubricant is very viscous like pitch, it will not

flow easily into small spaces and fully protect surfaces. Also, the more viscus a substance, the more friction it creates. Any fluid creates resistance, but each one is different. A propeller, for example, will turn more slowly in pitch than in water. If a lubricant has very low viscosity, it will not stick to a surface and therefore will not protect it well. Good Old Oil: You can still get the classic looking metal oil can for dispensing multipurpose oil. You can think of this as you once thought of WD40, the lubricant you can use on most things such as tools, hinges, nuts and bolts, and many other moving parts. It is messy and will hold dirt and dust, but it will lubricate. Engine, Gear, and Hydraulic Oil: Gear oil needs a higher viscosity as there is no pump to move the oil to where it is needed. It must stick to the gears and be carried all the way up as they rotate out of the oil in the bottom of the gear case and back down on the other side where it re-submerges. Generally, engine oil is dealing with different temperatures and pressures, but needs to handle the byproducts of combustion to keep the engine clean; so the additives vary in addition to the viscosity differences. Hydraulic oil or fluid is doing a completely different job. While it does still need to provide lubrication to prevent wear on parts, it is primarily transferring force from one place to another. To do this efficiently, it is important that it is as incompressible as possible. There are many hydraulic fluids, each with different characteristics, as it is impossible to have one fluid that will work ideally in all conditions. It is therefore important to use the proper hydraulic fluid in each hydraulic system. All hydraulic fluid needs to be as free from contamination as possible, and in general the best oil is clean oil. In small systems, as are typical on pleasure boats, this is achieved solely by sealing the system. In larger, October 2017
www.48North.com
industrial systems, small micron filters are used to reduce maintenance. Cutting Fluid: When drilling or particularly tapping (cutting threads for machine screws or bolts) any hard material, lubricating the drill bit or tap is very important. The material will dictate the proper fluid. Our favorite cutting fluid for steel is Cooltool2. It works well with most metals. For aluminum, we use Alumitap. Although aluminum is much softer than steel, it is very gummy, and, if it is not lubricated, very easily builds up on drill bits and causes problems. Penetrating Oil: There are many versions - Aerokroil, Free All, PB Blaster. The goal is to loosen up frozen bolts and parts; say, turnbuckles that haven’t been turned in a while and were left unlubricated. PB Blaster is recommended by some good authorities. We often prefer Aerokroil, though we also use Free All. It would appear, though, that the penetrating oil that beats all others is mixing automatic transmission fluid 1:1 with acetone and applying it with a spray bottle. Spray the penetrating oil of your choice on the parts and let it sit for a while, normally 15 minutes or so. Then, reapply and repeat as necessary. In extreme cases, repeat over several days. We heard tale of a gentleman in Alaska who raised a WW2 era boat that had been submerged for decades in saltwater and spent a month or more applying mineral oil to the cylinders and using an ultrasonic device for vibration to help the oil seep in. That actually got the engine running again. If you are trying to free up frozen cylinders or are worried about moisture in the cylinders, our recommendation would be Marvel Mystery oil. It is a mixture of naphthenic hydrocarbons and mineral oil. Dry Lubricants: McLube Sailkote is the only marine dry lubricant spray and its price is backed up by its superior performance. It should not be used on anything that has ball bearings. It will reduce friction so much the bearings will not roll properly and increase wear. It is however the perfect lubricant for sail slides (Figure 1). Graphite is another example of a dry lubricant and is the preferred lubricant on locks as it will not trap dirt. It is a little messy so you want to be careful with it as it is difficult to get
out of cloth or wood grain. Silicone sprays are dry lubricants, but they should not be used on boats as they are not marine grade and can damage and degrade some equipment. One way to reduce friction is to use a slippery material such as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) trademarked by Chemours as Teflon. If your hatch is squeaking, instead of repeatedly lubricating it, lay down a slick slide, such as Teflon, for the hatch to ride on. Grease: Gear grease, winch grease, propeller grease, dielectric grease (used to insulate and protect electrical connections)... all are lubricants thickened to stay in place and maintain both lubrication and corrosion protection. Depending on the application, they can be smeared or brushed on by hand, or, if dealing with a grease fitting such as on a propeller, with a grease gun (Figure 2). White lithium grease is good to use in applications where you easily want to be able to see the grease come out and be sure that it has gotten everywhere. Each year, the tilting mechanism on our outboard gets stiff and it is difficult to get grease into the grease fittings. By using a combination of penetrating oil, a heat gun, and persistence (Figure 2), we always get enough grease into the bearing to free up the tilt until it goes up and down smoothly. Each winch manufacturer sells their own winch grease. We use them interchangeably. If you visit online forums, there is a lively debate on whether you can simply use waterproof white lithium grease on them. If you are servicing your winches every year,
Figure 2: A. Heat gun. B. Grease gun. C. Grease fitting. D. Outboard swivel.
or two or three times a sailing season as is recommended, then it might be worth a try. If you are servicing them only when they stop working properly, then definitely use winch grease as you’re not buying it frequently enough to justify the risk. Lanocote uses the oil from lamb’s wool as its lubricant and protectant. It was once a standard, and while it works as well as it ever did, PTFE greases will outperform it and don’t have the smell. Our favorite all-purpose grease is Superlube. It is fully synthetic and food safe. We keep a tube in the plumbing bag to help get hoses onto fittings (Figure 3). If you are having trouble with a hose and have nothing else handy, soap can also help in getting it to slide on. Marelube is marine lubricant from Forespar designed for seacocks and marine plumbing. No matter the grease you are using, there is always such a thing as too much. We rigged a mast for an owner who was obsessed with making sure there was enough Lanocote on it. We ended up having to pull rags through the whole mast to clean it out to keep the internal halyards clean. The same is true in any other grease application; there should be enough to do the job, but the more excess, the more mess. Anti-Seize: Don’t assemble a stainless turnbuckle without it. Stainless to stainless threads have a high propensity to gall (stick together, eventually welding together when turned against each other). This is also true of stainless nuts and bolts, particularly if there is any contamination in the parts, such as metal filings from drilling holes. Once the process starts, it is very difficult to stop. If you can get the threads apart (lots of anti-seize and/or penetrating oil, care and letting it cool down), they will very likely be damaged beyond use. And, often, the only solution is breaking or cutting them off. This is not good for a stainless turnbuckle and threads swaged onto your rigging. Any part that you are worried about removing one day or want to keep corrosion free is a good candidate for anti-seize. There are many varieties, but we recommend marine grade. This type of anti-seize is formulated to protect and lubricate parts, and resist water www.48North.com
October 2017
Figure 3: A. Hose. B. Fitting. C. Grease. washout in salt and fresh water in temperatures of at least -22°F to 2,450°F. Graphite based anti-seize is best on spark plugs as it is conductive. Copper and zinc based anti-seize are not recommended for stainless steel. The good news about anti-seize is that it is almost impossible to remove, which is also the bad news. So, take precautions. Threadlocker: At first glance, one might think that threadlocker is the opposite of lubricant. However, threadlockers, other than perhaps the highest strength products (like Loctite Permanent Red), are indeed lubricants. They protect the threads from corrosion and prevent galling. They also help hold the bolts in place until you wish to remove them. Purple thread locker is the lowest strength, with blue being of medium strength. Green is perhaps our favorite as it is wicking and can be applied after the parts are assembled. As technology has advanced, newer lubricants often (but not always) simply do the same job as an older lubricant, but for a longer period of time. Because of this, some of us expect everything to be maintenance free, which nothing truly is. Time is a nonrenewable resource, so it is obviously desirable to spend less time squirting oil on things to keep them from squeaking. However, the act of oiling a hinge or servicing a winch is strangely satisfying. Taking care of our equipment connects us with essential parts of the greater whole that we love - our boat. With more understanding of lubricants, hopefully you plan for smoother sailing. Alex and Jack Wilken are experienced boat builders and have cruised extensively. They hold USCG Captain’s Licenses and are the owners of Seattle Boat Works. 29
to educate kids about water safety and ocean stewardship - both things we really care about. Connecting those principles with going fast and having fun, which everybody loves to do, that was just a no-brainer for us. We do six sessions in those programs, and every day they’re on the water. By the end, they’re skippering a performance catamaran. We’re seeing kids in the valley around Comox choose sailing as their sport, which is rare in a community where it would most likely be hockey or soccer.
The COOLEST Sailing Program Y ou’ve Never Heard Of 48° North Interview
by
Joe Cline
As many fabulous programs and learning opportunities exist around the Salish Sea, I’m not aware of any that are nearly as committed to performance multihull sailing as Compass Adventure Ocean Sports in Comox, BC. The Kiwi Cup Champions may be planning the next America’s Cup in monohulls, but high performance multihulls are the fastest boats on the water and will continue to represent the sport’s cutting edge. Giving interested sailors a foundation of skills to go along with a huge dose of fun and adrenaline on boats like their heroes are sailing is core to the mission at Compass Adventure. And I, for one, am 100% in support. I recently got the chance to chat with Stuart Robinson, Compass Adventure’s Owner, Co-founder, and Head Coach. 48° North: Give me some background on Compass Adventure. You’ve been in business for 25 years, that’s basically since you and your brother were kids? Stuart Robinson: Yeah, I grew up at Compass Adventure. I learned to sail when I was really young, and I started teaching at 13 or 14. I’ve been a business partner for 20 years now. Our big thing is that we’ve been trying to share our passion for performance sailing and for exciting sports on the ocean since we were founded. A lot of the time, that passion comes from doing the sports ourselves. We’ve competed in different classes of boats and other on-the-water sports. While there was always a focus on performance sailing, has it always been multihulls? It’s interesting - we didn’t start with multihulls. We had Lasers and FJs and Laser 2s, but we were always trying to find that cutting edge. Even 30
as a kid, I would modify our Laser to try to make it faster. There’s a family story about the Laser 1.5, which was a boat we just hacked apart and put on a bowsprit and all that stuff. It’s neat now to come full circle and to be sailing on real high performance boats, growing a fleet of them for others. We made the switch to multihulls 20 years ago. The thing we love is that we can get any person going fast on those. If we were sailing monohulls, we’d probably be sailing skiffs or something, but the barrier to entry with a boat like that is much higher. People think there’s a barrier because it’s performance, but multihulls make it so much easier. We’ve always been pretty obsessed with sharing this passion; coaching and teaching are a big part of our mission. Our goal is to set it up where kids or adults, of any level, can jump in and enjoy this kind of sailing. We do programs with the local school districts October 2017
www.48North.com
What boats are you using for the beginners, and what is the progression through your boats as kids get more experienced? We’ve experimented with a ton of boats over the years, but we’ve found that the best tool for what we do and for the progressions we teach is the Hobie Wave. You can take a class of beginners out and you can teach performance catamaran technique too. From there, you can progress to the other boats in our program. We have training boats called the Hobie T2. And then our new boat, which is the one my brother Andrew designed, is called the R18. It’s based on an F18 platform, like the Hobie Tiger, but it looks exactly like a miniature Marström 32. It just uses the mainsail and the spinnaker. Three kids sail it, and they can be as young as twelve years old. They race against adults in the F18 class. We refit existing F18s with the package that my brother designed. We take off the trapezes and we put on hiking racks. We have two of these, and we’re working on the third, and so the kids are learning some match racing skills, but they’re also getting experience sailing in teams. We coach different teams on different days; and when we race, we do round robins, just like they do on the World Match Racing Tour. Was it your intention to focus on match racing? It’s not just the match “racing” side of things, so much as it is sailing boat to boat. In a way, that’s just a reality of any sailing program. For us as a fairly small school, by doing rotations and round robins, we can get way more kids involved - we have 6,000 visits per year. We take a pontoon on the
water during the racing, and all the kids that aren’t racing on the course are watching and learning. They switch off out on the water. It makes for great coaching opportunities. For as long as you guys have been training kids and coaching sailors, do you have people who have gone through your program that have gone on to do bigger things in the world of sailing? Yeah, one of the things that’s most important to me is that we’ve had a lot of kids who have just stuck with the sport. That shows a lot about our success. At least six times, we’ve had kids purchase their own boats at a young age and go sail around the Pacific. We’ve had other kids that have raced internationally in multihull championships. There are so many opportunities when you have those sailing skills. One of Andrew’s crew on our new Diam 24s, that we brought out for leg one of Race to Alaska (R2AK) and Van Isle 360, went through our programs and is now a sponsored athlete for Helly Hanson Canada. He doesn’t have all that much to tout in the way of racing results, but he’s great about sharing his story. That’s part of the success of the R2AK, in my mind - that the stories are more important than the results. Speaking of those two Diam 24 trimarans, how did you come to choose those boats in particular? We looked around and for the price, it’s a great package. As much as I love foiling, it’s expensive. We were out training on a friend’s foiling Phantom, and one of our teams clipped a piece of wood and that cost us $3,000. You can spend 20 grand in a weekend with a
fleet of foiling boats. Ultimately, it just fit our methodology to have a simple boat that is essentially as fast as the foilers, but that can help us get more people sailing. Plus, we can safely have a youth team of four on the Diams. Tell us about the experiences at R2AK and Van Isle on the Diam 24s. Pretty amazing and epic adventure for us to do both. We did the first leg of each race. It was definitely an undertaking getting the boats ready and down there - we did it all in a very short amount of time. The welcome at R2AK was pretty awesome. We were putting the boats together in the middle of the street the day before the race, I’ve never had so much interest people coming up to chat with us and ask about the boat - as I did there. Just getting the boats put together was kind of a head-to-head battle between me and my brother, which was also true on the race course. And who came out on top? Well first, a 5am start was something new for us, as it would be for most sailors. And I had a terrible start - I think I was still eating my oatmeal. You kind of forget that you can paddle, being mostly a sailor. My brother, Andrew, took off on us for a little while, and then we paddled and tried to sail together for most of the first seven hours. There was some decent pressure way right on the course, and you’re hoping for that westerly much later in the day. We got ahead for a little while, and they went way out to wait for the westerly. We decided to sneak up the inside and sail close hauled right into Victoria. We had the more direct approach, but the breeze came in, and they were able to get in ahead of us. We were both in the top seven sailboats.
The Diam 24s are fast, fun, closely matched, and can be sailed by teams of four kids.
Had you guys done some testing on the boats prior to that? Yeah, but not much. One of my crew had only sailed the boat twice, and collectively maybe we’d sailed it six times. We were learning on the way. If it’s less than 5 or 6 knots of wind, the boats are quite slow. But that threshold is so narrow, when you get to 6 or 7 knots, they www.48North.com
October 2017
Stuart Robinson is passionate about sharing performance sailing with others, and he believes that multihulls offer the fewest barriers to entry to those looking to get into it. go from really slow to really fast. What characteristics or behaviors of the boat flipped that speed switch? The boat just livens up. One hull is already out, but you can start to get the second one to come out of the water a little bit. You’re just lit up. You go from doing maybe 4 or 5 knots to doing maybe 14 knots of boat speed. The boat has rudders on the amas? Yeah, a large center board - a 7’ dagger in the center - and two smaller rudders on the amas. Basically, when the transom on the center hull lightens up a little, the boat just takes off. The center hull is more of a planing shape, whereas the outer hulls are so narrow, they’re kind of designed to be underwater anyway. The bow design of the amas creates a negative pressure area when they’re underwater, you’re actually building lift. So, you’re wanting to drive that bow underwater and then bring it upwind. It kind of negates the needs for additional lateral resistance (boards) in the amas. Tuning the boat is very specific, and it’s helpful having two boats. And how about Van Isle? Van Isle is similar to R2AK in the spirit of adventure, but the competitors are way different. We were the only multihulls and the only open boats in the first leg. It is a challenging leg, that can have some light winds and a lot of current. I redeemed myself after my bad start at R2AK. It was cool to be mixing it up with boats that were in their perfect conditions - many of those boats have a lot of sail and they point 31
really high in those conditions. Our boats are challenging if we’re below that baseline speed threshold. I was impressed with how well we could point - we had to foot off a little, but we had great tacking battles up the shore. In the middle of the course, the wind shut off. We had pulled quite a bit ahead of my brother’s team, but they caught us when the breeze quit. We hung out near each other for a bit, and then the wind picked up a bit later in the day. We were able to head out toward Lasqueti and catch a little breeze to bring us to the finish. We finished around 4:30pm, which we were really happy with. We were glad to get in at that time, because we hosted the Van Isle participants that night... the ones that made it in time, anyway. About half of the fleet didn’t make it until around midnight. What were your takeaways from those racing experiences on the Diams? The whole idea of this little tour of racing the Diams in these two great events was get the word out there about what we’re doing at Compass
Adventure, and to promote Comox as an amazing sailing destination. We are so committed to performance sailing, and the Diam 24s are the flagships of what we do. It does not require a whole lot of work to get into performance sailing on a boat like this. We were psyched to get these exciting, accessible boats in front of the broader sailing community! Other than those events, what else have you been working on this summer? For what I believe is the first time in Canada, Compass Adventure started running stadium-style sailing racing for the public to come enjoy as spectators. The races are only 500 meters long, with reaching starts and finishes. Our shortest race to date was less than eight minutes. You start and finish coming toward the audience, like many of the America’s Cup races. F18s and R18s race without handicaps, and our other boats race too. We do match racing demonstrations on the Diam 24s. We’ve had coaches versus athletes and other fun themed races. There’s live commentary, a beer garden over the water, and live music. We had over
1,000 spectators attend one of these weekend events, and are floored that roughly 80% of those attendees didn’t really know anything about sailing. Can you talk about the family dynamic with the business, and with sailing being such a great family sport, does that influence your sailors to get involved in sailing with their families? We have a very unique family. I think that our school being run by a family creates a welcoming environment. When our sailors see Andrew and I racing, having a great time, and learning from each other, we hope they’ll look up to us and do the same with their family members. My dad, who co-founded Compass with me is the inspiration for doing things out of the box. For our family, the innovation side of sailing is as important as the sailing itself. On and off the water, we hope people see how much fun we have working together. -48° North For more information about Compass Adventure programs, or the Diam 24s, check www.compassadventure.ca

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
American Wigeons are back in the Salish Sea. These are some of my favorite ducks. They seem, well, a proper, well-mannered, and friendly bird; a duck I’d like to know personally. In summer, they nest in the far northern marshes on the edge of the Arctic Sea where they raise a family. Short summers mean early migration south before the early winter begins, and the males come first, the females and young a bit later. In the Salish Sea, fall migration peaks from mid-October to early December, when large flocks congregate in near-shore rafts or marina lawns. Being mostly aquatic plant-eaters, wigeons have a bill that is more goose-like than the bill of a dabbling duck - which helps them graze on land (lawns).
There are two types of duck-design: dabbling and diving. Dabbling ducks are built to upend themselves in shallow water to get at aquatic shoots and other food. Their legs are positioned towards the body’s center to allow tipping the head downwards underwater. These guys don’t go totally underwater, but they also can’t feed in deep water. Diving ducks such as mergansers and scoters do just the opposite, but their equipment varies slightly. They sport legs in the back to allow underwater propulsion and slender bills to grab a meal while in motion. Wigeons are dabblers but can also feed standing on dry land. This winter, keep an eye out around the marina for wigeons and an ear tuned for the soft jabbering whistles as the well-mannered groups talk about the weather.

H
ere in the Pacific Northwest, we are blessed with many terrific regattas and great places to sail. Why would anyone want to go anywhere else? Well, the Moore 24 National Championships were held out of Richmond Yacht Club on San Francisco Bay... that was our excuse, and we’re stickin’ to it. The Moore 24 class draws 20-25 boats for their annual Roadmaster Series (ten regattas each year, ranging up and down the West Coast, from Santa Barbara to Seattle) and Nationals is the crown jewel. The Moore 24 was designed in Santa Cruz, CA, in the 1970s, and the boats are still widely regarded as one of the finest 24’ keelboats around. They weigh 2,000 lbs and have a crew weight limit of 825 lbs for class racing (4 or 5 folks depending on how much you like pizza and micro brews). The boats are nearly all driven by their owner or a long time shipmate; it’s rare to find a pro lurking to snag a trophy here. Interestingly, Moore 24s have won a number of open ocean races, and are capable of 20 knots of boat speed given the correct conditions. Having personally chased them downwind on more than one occasion, I can tell you it is quite a sight to see the bow wave starting just forward of the keel and reaching half way to the spreaders. The Moore 24’s offshore prowess notwithstanding, sailing round the buoys with some folks that bought them new in the 80s is a really, really good time. I have sailed in this fleet for over ten years and done dozens of regattas, and for all the close boat handling and the occasional mishap, I do not recall a protest. The offending party typically does their circle or two; and if boat damage is a result, the skipper that needs to call his insurance agent or banker simply takes a cool six pack to the party affected and arrangements are made without a lot of fuss. Despite the fact that we found ourselves smack dab in the middle of 34
Talking it over, the three of us decided to go ahead and rig but wait to launch until regatta day. So, with the rising sun on the first day of the event, we moseyed over to the skipper’s meeting, our boat rigged and our team ready. After splashing, I wolfed down Gatorade and sandwiches on the Berkeley Circle - I made weight with 1.2 lbs to spare. As a boat, we were within a winch handle of the max. Conditions quickly built into the mid 20s, where they would remain all weekend. We enjoyed the breeze and the unfamiliar surroundings. We could see the other racing fleets were sharing the Bay that weekend, from Optis (yes, roughly 80 children in close to 30 knots and 4‘ waves on a boat with no pointy end) to the J/111 Worlds. The #3 blade jib was the sail call, which is slick if you are the trimmer because the clew only moves about 4’ per tack, but the last 4” on a single speed winch is a bit of a trick as you bounce upwind with no lifelines, trying to hike and making sure your feet aren’t touching the competitor next to you as you launch off the line. The next not-best thing about trimming on a Moore 24 is there are only two winches for halyards, spinnaker, and jib sheets. Well how does that work? Simply take the jib sheet off the weather winch as you round the mark, replace it with the guy if you have time (usually, you do not). Try to get a wrap on the leeward winch with the kite sheet and get ready for the kite to fill while that boat speed launches into the teens. Then, try to settle the sail into the proper shape. No problem, right? We rounded the first weather mark of the regatta about 13th, no kisses for luck and we were on our way. We passed probably three boats on the run and figured we were going to have to come up with a better upwind combination or we were going to be walking and never learn to run. We slipped the jib cars two holes aft and now we were
S ummer Road Trip: Moore 24 Nationals the finest summer the PNW has ever had, we were hitting the road. There was a great regatta at the other end of 800 miles of the endless gray ribbon that is I-5. I was sailing with Ben and Jennifer Braden on their boat, More Uff Da. The two of them handle the far ends of the boat, with Ben at the helm and Jen as the seriously-skilled bow candy. I was planning to sit between them and pull sheets, that is if eating carrot sticks and drinking Fresca for the last several weeks paid off and I was able to make weight! Our mast/office gal, who has sailed since 1978 and is by far the best ever, was flying to meet us there. Of course, the party started early with the charging light on the dash indicating alternator issues. Our van conversion RV got plenty toasty in the auto parts parking lot. The owner shopped for a new alternator while the family pet, Dakota, and I passed the time either panting or lapping up water. It came as news to me that apparently all you need to do is purchase the part, not actually install it, to solve this issue. The light somehow went out and we were trouble free after that. We plowed through Seattle and Tacoma traffic, realizing we’ve only just begun. We did not have white lace and promises but we did have a quiver of new sails from the local loft and we were keen to bust ‘em out and see what we could accomplish. Watching for signs along the way, we only stopped at “Pilot” truck stops. After just six stops and 16 hours, we waited for the security gate at Richmond Yacht Club. October 2017

pointing and picked off two more boats on the beat. Working together on the second run and sailing deeper and riskier than some, we caned three more competitors. Lucky number seven for us on the first race. We matched that result after a bad shift in the second race Sailing by the committee before the third, we spied the flag for the distance race that is a big part of every Moore 24 National. We were off to the famed “Blackaller Buoy” that resides just next to the South Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. We battled tour boats, fish boats, tricky currents along the city front, and kite boarders off Chrissy Field, as well as our friends and competitors on the other Moores. As evening came, the crew moved aft to keep the bow up and we pumped the waves, keeping the old girl on plane nearly all the way home past Alcatraz and back to the Circle. Conversation eventually turned to the question, “Exactly where is the leeward mark?” At that point, we only had one boat ahead of us. Fortunately, the leaders knew where the mark was. We finished 2nd in that race, 7th overall on the day. Day two featured three more buoy
races and now we were starting to learn these new sails, and they pulled us up to 5th for the regatta. Not to put the jinx on us, but the trophies looked really cool and the trip home is so much easier with one of those on the dashboard. On the third and final day of the regatta, we got the gun in the first race a real live first place finish in a National Championship Regatta! That’s one way to help ease the pain of the cost of those new rags. Now we knew we could do it, we were fast, and we still had one race to go. A solid finish in the last race landed us on the podium. It says something about your improvement and learning curve when your throwout is the first race of the regatta. The best thing about sailing with Ben and Jennifer on More Uff Da is: not only did we step up on to the podium, but we did it with a BBQ bolted to the stern pulpit the entire weekend. They fly a flag off the backstay with the menu of the day: chicken, pork, or steak. As we reached back to the harbor, we intentionally sailed to weather of the fleet to let the grill smoke waft across our soggy friends, while pumpin’ tunes from local bands on the stereo.
Eventually, the endless supply in the cooler finally gave out and our mast/middle crew phenom, Mel, handed out the last round. The sailing part of this story was over. We were exhilarated and tired and proud. Dakota the dog was eager to go home and we still wondered about that silly alternator light. Hugs all around and driving watches were set. Trailerable one-design boats make this kind of traveling regatta accessible. Good examples of other local fleets are: Melges 24, Viper 640, SC-27, and Express 27. It’s likely the J/70 mania that is sweeping the nation will eventually engulf the PNW. If you get involved and start trucking your boat around, don’t forget there are no trailers allowed in the HOV lane in California, and wow look at those characters at the truck stop! Thanks for the hospitality Ben and Jennifer, and thanks to Mel for help hauling back the after guy! Andy Schwenk is the owner of Northwest Rigging in Anacortes, WA.

Galley Essentials with Amanda Fiona serves lunch at the Smithy
Situated off the north coast of Scotland, approximately 70 islands and skerries make up Orkney. Of these, 20 are inhabited. We reached North Ronaldsay, the northernmost island, after a breezy 24-mile broad reach from Fair Isle and anchored in an open sandy bay on the southern side of the island. We’d been looking forward to checking out the unique ancient breed of seaweed-eating sheep, but with a choppy dinghy ride, extremely low tide, and no apparent landing place we decided to hunker down for the evening. It was foggy the next morning and still windy so we scoured the charts for a place that would provide shelter in easterly winds. We chose Pierowall Pier on Westray Island, 20 miles downwind. To avoid continually gybing the main as we dodged shallow banks, tidal currents and headlands, we sailed the entire way under headsail maintaining a steady 6 knots of boat speed. Upon arriving in Pierowall, Tom, the dockmaster, eagerly took our lines. He’d just retired after 49 years as the captain of the 45’ ferry that serves Papa Westray, the neighboring island with a population of 60, and he was keen to give us the island’s scoop. Pierowall has a thriving crab and lobster fishery, plus a busy processing facility. It also has a bakery, an abandoned 16th century castle, and a small village with two shops, hotel/pub/restaurant, a museum and art galleries. 36

I was thrilled to visit Hume Sweet Hume; a designer knitwear shop run by two very creative sisters Lizza and Jenna. Having completed art degrees, they both felt a strong pull to return to island roots, and for 17 years they’ve been running their business from an old croft home. We chatted for a while swapping stories and I left inspired to get creative both on my knitting and with the following recipe they’d shared with me utilizing the local crab.
Crab Pasta with Lemon and Capers 1 lb fettucine ½ lb cooked crab meat 1/3 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons capers 2 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon bread crumbs ½ tablespoon kosher salt 1 lemon - sliced thinly 6 cloves garlic - thinly sliced dried chili flakes - to taste ½ cup white wine ½ lemon - juice and zest salt and pepper 3 tablespoons chopped parsley - divided In a small pan over medium heat, saute capers in a bit of oil for 1 minute. Remove to a plate lined with paper towel. In a small bowl, combine flour, bread crumbs, and kosher salt. Dredge lemon slices, add to pan and fry each side for 1 minute. Remove to paper towel. Cook pasta according to package direction. Meanwhile in a large skillet heat ¼ cup olive oil, add garlic and chili; cook 1 minute. Add lemon juice and zest, season to taste. Add crab and 2 tablespoons parsley. Add pasta and toss to combine. Serve garnished with lemon slices, capers and parsley. Serves 4.

the Emerald, a Norwegian barque was shipwrecked while enroute to Gothenburg from New York. The ship was sold off and a young couple turned the deck cabin into a croft. Edwin Rendall visited the croft as small boy and it became his family home when he married Elaine. When building Wheeling Steen Gallery they incorporated the historic cabin as a point of interest and along with wonderful art, baked treats also abound. I’m never one to turn down a slice of date loaf. Date Loaf 1 cup chopped dates 1 cup boiling water 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg - beaten 1 cup chopped walnuts ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder In a bowl, add dates, water, baking soda and butter. Stir until butter has melted. Set aside for 1 hour. Beat sugar, egg, walnuts and vanilla into date mixture. Sift in flour and baking powder and stir to combine. Pour mixture into a greased 8-inch loaf pan. Bake at 360F for 45 minutes or until loaf springs back when lightly touched. Our next port was Kirkwall; Orkney’s vibrant capital. Historic buildings line the narrow streets and they’re filled with cozy shops that represent the island’s creativity. The magnificent medieval St. Magus Cathedral is next to The Reel, my alltime favorite café/pub venue. Jennifer and Hazel Wrigley, both excellent Orkney musicians, created The Reel and, in addition to wonderful nosh and decadent fudge, they host regular traditional music sessions and concerts and also run a music school. Whisky & Ginger Fudge 1 14oz can condensed milk ½ cup milk ½ cup unsalted butter 2 cups demerara sugar 3 tablespoons whisky 3oz stem ginger - diced Line an 8in x 8in square pan with greaseproof paper. In a large saucepan
on a medium heat, combine condensed milk, milk, butter and sugar, stir regularly until sugar has melted. Add whisky and simmer 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously, until a small amount of mixture dropped into a glass of cold water forms a tiny squidgy ball. Transfer mixture to a bowl and beat for 10 minutes, until the caramel glossiness has gone and you have a thick, soft fudge consistency. Stir in ginger, scoop into pan and let cool at room temperature until firm. Cut into squares. Will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for several weeks. It’s a short sail from Kirkwall to the agricultural island of Shapinsay. The ornate Balfour Castle stands proud on the waterfront, a reminder of the Balfour family domination of the island for two centuries, while the adjacent village of Balfour offers a glimpse into past. Beneath the old sail loft, now a heritage museum, is The Smithy; a delightful café in what was the blacksmith’s shop. Fiona served us perfect fare, including dal to warm our souls, after a day of exploring the island’s standing stone, Iron Age broch, and bird life.
Dal Soup 1 cup red lentils 1 teaspoon turmeric powder 6 cups water ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ½ teaspoon cumin seeds - crushed 2 shallots - minced 1 teaspoon curry powder chopped cilantro In a large pot add lentils, turmeric and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer with lid on for 20 minutes. Season with salt. Mash lentils with potato masher. In a pan, heat oil and fry cumin seeds 3 minutes. Add shallots and curry; saute 2 minutes. Add spice mix to soup, bring to a boil then simmer with lid on for 40 minutes. Serve with chopped cilantro. 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.

PITCH
ack in my college days, PITCH B was the big event, the final throw-down grudge-match of the
north sound summer sailing season. The Etchells fleet showed up in force and the PHRF boats came from all around the region. We even raced on Friday night back in the day! The band played well into the wee hours and the house was rocking. I usually sailed in the Etchells fleet and we raced hard all weekend. Fast forward a couple decades (or more! Gasp!) to the current PITCH regatta. Twenty-something boats registered compared to 80 in the heyday, and mostly from the north sound. PITCH continues to be an SYC Grand Prix qualifier and remains part of the popular 48° North Top 25, which keeps a handful of the top Seattle boats coming back up for the fun. The feeling is more of a downhome weekend with the family. The faces are familiar and the tone is mellow, and there’s enough room for everyone on the race course and in the clubhouse. After three solid years with breeze, the prediction this year was for heat and fluky wind. Of course, don’t ever believe it until you see it! Saturday featured a light southwesterly breeze for most of the 38
day. The Race Committee kept waiting for the breeze to go all the way south or west, but they eventually accepted the wind direction and we got in one good race. Much swimming ensued after that and everyone enjoyed the evening on shore. Sunday morning appeared to be more of the same. We postponed again at the dock for an hour and then proceeded to postpone and hang out and raft up out on the water for another hour. We had little faith about racing until a westerly appeared on the horizon and started to fill in solidly. The westerly built until eventually we were using backstay and all legs were over the rail. The Race Committee got off three races in the moderate breeze. By the time we got to the last leeward mark of the third race, deep in the corner of the bay, the breeze was telling us to call it a weekend. A few wily characters made it around the mark unscathed, but many others spent extra time hanging around the leeward mark. All in all, a great day and weekend on the water. Division 1 was the Fast Displacement fleet, and the Battle of the Farrs, who put in many extra laps practicing and tuning up together during postponement both days. October 2017

Seattle Top 25-ers grabbed the top spots! Division 2 were the Sport Boats, although I’m pretty sure they all remained in displacement mode all weekend. With a twist of fate in the War of the Sierras, Dos held the uno position for the weekend, and Uno came in dos. Tres in the division went to Troy Curran’s Melges 24, Double Alpha. Division 3 was the Little Displacement fleet, and almost everyone had a boat twin which makes it more fun. There were three Martins, two Santa Cruz 27s, and two S2 9.1s, and a couple other little buddies. We had a nice little group and nobody rated slower than 165, hooray! In the weekend results, Wild Rumpus proved that you can win without actually ever winning as long as you are consistently in the hunt. Sailboat racing might be the only occasion in which I am labeled “conservative,” but in fact we won with three seconds and a third. Chris White’s Martin 242, Crazy I,
landed in second for the weekend, and Betsy Wareham finished third with her Martin 242, Purple Martin. The three Martin 242s from Orcas Island Yacht Club won the Kelly O’Neil team trophy for the weekend! Well done, guys! I’ll say that more boats should come up next year, and it’s true! It would be especially cool to see the Etchells fleet back out on the course again. You’d have a great time if you came out, but PITCH has also
turned into a pretty sweet little regatta just as it is. Thank you to the volunteers that keep the small regattas up north going. The same smiling faces are always there! See you again next year. by Stephanie Schwenk photos by Trisha Hochreiter https://trishahochreiter.smugmug.com results on page 45

Pink Boat Regatta
W
e sign up our boats. We gather our crew. We travel. We plan. We dress up and Gala together. We solicit our friends, our neighbors, our colleagues, our community. We pink ourselves. We pink our boats. We pink our city. We work tirelessly all year long to reach a single event, or a single weekend, or a single month. We do this in honor of our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, our friends, our fellow sailors, of all women who should not have to hear the words “you have breast cancer.” We take one day a year to donate our passion to show our community we can make a real difference just by
40
doing something we love. For this reason, the Pink Boat Regatta will, inevitably, always have a sailor ’s heart. We do this, but this regatta does not belong to anyone. It belongs to every round of chemotherapy that wasn’t necessary this year due to advances in research. It belongs to every round of chemotherapy that was necessary, but was made easier than the chemotherapy of ten, twenty, or thirty years ago. It belongs to every dollar we put in the hands of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, who painstakingly and carefully take that dollar and

leave it in the hands of scientists throughout the world with the best ideas, making the greatest strides towards breast cancer treatment and prevention. In the words of Mary-Claire King, the well-known University of Washington geneticist who discovered BRCA (breast cancer) genes with the help of this very type of funding, “BCRF has made a huge difference! Beyond imagining. You selected the right charity for your efforts.” There is a misconception in our local community that sailing to support an organization based in New York City is not supporting local research. Seattle is a city ripe with
innovation and scientific advances which is honored to support not just Mary-Claire King, but many highly accomplished doctors and scientists working towards the cause. Dr.’s Julie Gralow, Anne McTiernan, Peggy Porter, Sasha Stanton, Mary Disis, and our keynote speaker for 2017, Nancy Davidson encompass the seven BCRF grantees across (our presenting sponsor) Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (UW Medical Center, Seattle Children’s, and Fred Hutch) and University of Washington receiving funding from BCRF in support of breast cancer research. This means we sailed this past August and September in the literal shadow of the very institutions pioneering some of the most ground breaking research working to extend the life, and the quality of life, of our
loved ones who have, are, or will fight this disease in their lifetime. That’s pretty damn cool. In late August, eight boats sailed in Bellingham, raising over $10,000 by themselves. In September, 28 boats sailed close to 20 laps around Lake Union, in light wind with typical Lake Union challenges. Didn’t matter, we all were there to make a difference... and to out-pink the other boats! So we dressed pink, we sailed pink, we pinked out our cities to give hope. To each person who took the time, energy and effort to donate, participate, rally their friends and family, attend an event, become a sponsor, or just tell one person about it - THANK YOU. Last year, your efforts put over $103,000 in the deserving hands of scientists like these. As I look forward to sharing
www.48North.com
October 2017
this year ’s donation, I am so proud to be a small part of the communities who have come together to make a real and lasting difference. Seattle, Bellingham, and all who participated: you are a force to be reckoned with. Keep it up. What started as a grassroots effort can no longer be contained. We will keep participating, attending and sailing in honor of the too many women in our lives affected by this disease. We fuel smart research to develop new paths for breast cancer prevention and a cure. This turns cancer patients into survivors, buys precious time, and improves lives. We do this through sailing. Because that’s what we do. by Ashley Bell photos by Jan Anderson check: www.pinkboatregatta.org

Bellingham Yacht Club
Dale Jepsen One Design
T
he Dale Jepsen One Design Regatta started with promising winds in the morning dropping to calm. Combine this with rain the Pacific Northwest desperately needs, and sailors were treated to a long, shivering good time. The race
committee managed to start two races, but both were abandoned due to either radically shifting breeze, or no breeze. At about 1:30, the day was abandoned and racing gave way to a wonderful party sponsored by Kulshan and Stones Throw Breweries, as well as the Bellingham 5O5 Fleet 35. By the smiles on the faces of competitors, a casual observer would have thought the racing was sublime. On Sunday, the racing actually was sublime. The sky cleared, and sailors were treated to steady 12 knot breeze from the south. The race committee banged off five races, with three minute rolling starts. The combination of an outgoing tide and an aggressive fleet caused the dreaded “I” flag to make an appearance by the end of the day for 42
5O5 sailors. The 15 boat 5O5 fleet had a battle on its hands. At the end of the day, there was only a four point difference between the first and fourth place boats. Pierre Jeangirard and crew, Tom Crawford squeaked out a win, one point ahead of Kerry Poe and Paul Von Grey on Red Stripey, with third place going to RVYC’s Phil Cragg, with Rich Mundell crewing. Lasers hailed f r o m Va n c o u v e r, WA to Vancouver, B.C. It was great to see old friends and to make new ones. The competition was fierce, with places changing from mark to mark. Jorge Yanez from Jericho Sailing Center managed to squeak out his second DJOD victory in a row, with seven points in five races. 17-year-old phenom, Perham Black from SJISF, was nipping at the old man’s transom all day, and finished one point behind Jorge. In third place was a guy who has attended so many of our regattas, they need to engrave a table for him - Mike Johnson from SYC ended the day in third. The Laser Fleet, with nine boats, was a bit smaller than usual, but the caliber of racer was high, and the competition was superb. October 2017
www.48North.com
The junior sailors, with high school sailors from Sehome High School, raced on Fjs. The fleet was dominated by Cedric Keniepp and crew, Leila Jones. Mallory Hood and Dillon Baijot finished in second, and the last set of trophies went to Natalie Werner and crew. As usual, there were good times and good cheer at the Bellingham Ya c h t C l u b . S p o n s o r S a m s o n Rope delivered again, with a fine assortment of excellent line. More than one sailor has told me the only reason they come here is because of Samson Rope. The Sea Scouts, headed by Chris Vasquez, were on hand to help move dollies in and out of the launch area. This was very helpful on a busy fishing weekend. We are already looking forward to next year. Mark your calendars for September 22nd & 23rd. It will be epic. by Mike Poulos photos by Arne Ahlen results on page 45
Sloop Tavern Yacht Club Single Handed Race
Shilshole Bay Yacht Club
TransPuget Race
T
wenty individual sailors competed in the annual Sloop Tavern Yacht Club Single Handed Regatta on August 26. This year, the choice of challenges to the individual sailor was expanded to include both non-flying sail and flying sail divisions! Each sailor was also tested in real time performance to the finish as this regatta features a pursuit style start where every yacht has their own assigned start time based on their handicap rating that allows for everyone to finish at the same time. This way the actual finishing order at the finish line already includes the handicap correction. Other STYC regattas with pursuit starts include Race to the Straits and Down the Sound. The day started out light, with a predicted build from the north. The race committee (Eric Finn and Rick Collins aboard Eric’s O) could see the northerly coming, so the long 10.8 mile course to Spring Beach was posted and the competitors began their individual starts. No one was over early, and Nate Creitz clearly won the best start, hitting the line at full speed with only a second to spare. After boats rounded the Spring Beach mark they had a long run against the tide to West Point. Most boats stayed out against the ebb current, with only a few choosing to sail a longer distance while gaining current relief on the east shore. The first boat to finish and therefore first overall, was the non-flying sail competitor in Class 1, Kwadwo Copeland on his Thunderbird, Selchie. The first boat to finish in the new flying sail division was Reed Bernhard on his J/109, Mountain. Finally, Nate Creitz’s perfect start paid off with his first place in class two aboard his Olson 25, Three Ring Circus. by Eric Finn results on page 45
T
he TransPuget Benefit Race was held on Shilshole Bay in Puget Sound and the weather was very pleasant and warm, with a five knot breeze from the north to start the race. With a strong flood tide and very light wind, the SBYC race chair decided to set a short windwardleeward buoy course not going too far south from our start off Shilshole. The wind picked up to a tick over five knots from the north so the three starts went off as scheduled, five minutes apart, with the five faster boats starting last at 11:40. Everyone enjoyed the warm day, the first of fall racing season, knowing that soon enough we’d be pulling out the long forgotten foulies and boots and sitting on the rail in the cold rain. It turned into a very good day after all, with puffs up to 6 knots flowing around a few holes on a low key, short course in warm weather. As it turned out, the wind held long enough for nearly all of the boats to complete the two lap - five mile course in less than three hours. As in the past, all proceeds from the race are donated to the Footloose Sailing Association, an organization dedicated to getting disabled people out sailing. Even though this is a charity event, the competition was still fierce, with several boats crossing the half-way line only a second or two apart. The race committee noted several boats changed lead positions many times during the race. In spite of the light winds, it was a great day to be out on the water, and many skippers commented that the lighter www.48North.com
October 2017
winds make for more of a challenge, but everyone had a great time. An after-race awards celebration was held at Ray’s Boathouse restaurant. Along with SBYC plaques for the first through third place finishers, there were three haulouts awarded to the first place boat in each class. Additional prizes included gift certificates for sail repair and merchandise along with several very nice prizes donated by many local chandleries. Shilshole Bay Yacht Club wishes to thank the following local businesses for their generous gifts in support of the benefit race: CSR Marine, Seaview Boatyards, Dunato’s Boatyard, Fisheries Supply, Sure Marine Service Inc., Captain’s Nautical Supplies, Puget Sound Sails, Ballard Sails, and 48° North. story by Tom Madden & Edie Tenneson photos by Connie Myers results on page 45

Edward William "Ned" Flohr II Edward William “Ned” Flohr II passed away September 1. He loved life, sailing, and telling the raunchiest jokes. He made me laugh the entire time. He lived life to an extraordinary degree - they broke the mold after him. He was astoundingly generous of his time, money and efforts. Ned lived life on his own terms, and derived enormous satisfaction from community involvement. His longtime service as an usher at his parish, St. James Cathedral, brought him much joy. In the world of sailing, he was passionate about his involvement with the West Marine Pacific Cup, both as a race participant, a boat inspector, and on the board of directors. He was deeply involved at Ballard Community Hospital, serving as the Chair of the Board of Trustees during the merger with Swedish Medical Center in 1992. Subsequently, he served on the Swedish Hospital Board of Trustees from 1992-2011. Fair winds and following seas, Ned.

They bring elegance, simplicity $270,000 and functionality to every yacht. Elegant in her design and construction, simple in her systems, and functional in her layout and outfitting, Cloud 7 is an extraordinary blue water cruising vessel. The Super Maramu’s unique engine and mechanical space is completely isolated from the main cabin – both sound insulated and watertight. The cockpit is protected by a hard dodger, spray hood and enclosure. Below decks, the spacious and comfortable interior is finished in striking mahogany. Equipped with a Northern Lights 6Kw genset, bow thruster, B&G, Raymarine radar/chartplotter, Furuno secondary radar, Highfield RIB dinghy with outboard, new standing rigging, re-powered Yanmar 110hp engine, and newer sails, Cloud 7 is well prepared.
