September 2018

With a Little Help From Our Friends Sailing is, for most of us, a collaborative experience. The simplest tasks on a boat - getting on and off the dock, pumping out the head, fueling up, re-bedding a stanchion, or getting the sails up can turn into rocket science if you’re by yourself. More than just improving the likelihood of the successful completion of a project or maneuver, the shared experience of sailing together cements friendships and bonds that often make us better sailors and better people. There can be value in going it alone, but I’ve seldom been sorry I went sailing on a team, especially with friends; and I don’t think I ever dream quite as big as when I can sense the intoxicating chemical reaction of great teamwork. The last month has brought this principle into crystal clear focus for me, and for all of us here at 48° North. In several thrilling new ways, we’re embracing collaboration and benefiting from the help of our friends. This is bigger than winch maintenance, however. First, and clearly the biggest news (read the next few pages if you haven’t heard), we have had a passing of the publishing torch here at 48° North. As our existing magazine team becomes part of the larger Northwest Maritime Center crew, we know that we’re going to be able to accomplish big things thanks to the organizational stability, support, and enthusiasm we will receive from our friends in Port Townsend. The good ship 48° North is still the sturdy vessel you know, but with the help of the Northwest Maritime Center, we have some extra assistance if we decide to do a little refit. And then, ship shape, we’ll enjoy setting sail together on a shared course. Second, in early August, I had the privilege of leading our inaugural Cascadia Cruising Rally (story page 28). Not only is this new event the product of a brainstorm with my friend Chuck Skewes, but the implementation and rally leadership took on a very collective dynamic between me and our presenting sponsors from Ullman Sails. Could I have run that rally on my own? Maybe. But thanks to the help of Chuck and Sabine from Ullman Sails, it was way, way better. Finally, just back from the rally, we found ourselves in scramble-mode trying to make sure we could secure a float upon which to build our Tiki Hut for 48° North Tropical Night at the Duck Dodge. The floats we’ve used in years past were no more, and it was beginning to get complicated. Like approaching a dock with a cross-breeze when you’re singlehanded, our friends from Marine Servicenter and the Northwest Yacht Brokers Associations jumped out from behind a dock box to catch our metaphorical bow and stern lines. In no time, we found another float, got approval to use it, and transported it - all thanks to these folks with whom we share trust and a vision for the good of the sailing community. Whether your crew is one or eleven or fifty, and regardless if the task is Grand Prix racing, an ocean passage, a topsail hoist, or just somebody on the other end of the wrench, your sailing pals will want to lend a hand. I know all of us at 48° North are eager to return the favor! I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North

48° North Becomes Part of the Northwest Maritime Center As of August 1, 2018, the Pacific Northwest’s sailing magazine of record, 48° North, will become a part of the big tent of the Northwest Maritime Center’s non-profit operation that serves an important mission: to engage and educate people of all generations in traditional and contemporary maritime life, in a spirit of adventure and discovery. You might call this a merger or a donation… We call it the future, and it is brighter now than ever. Since 1981, 48° North has been the quintessential sailing magazine sharing stories of the sailing and the sailors of the Pacific Northwest. It has

The 48° North Crew is still the 48° North Crew! The staff you know and love at 48° North isn't going anywhere! Scott Pittrof and Benjamin Harter will still be heading up the advertising department. Karen Higginson and Joe Cline will remain your editorial team! As a crew, we are thrilled about the possibilities, excited to usher in a new era for 48° North, and honored to continue supporting all things sailing.

also been a trusted resource in which maritime industry professionals and local sailors may advertise their boats, products, and services to the 48° North audience—40,000 enthusiastic boaters of every stripe. In its new affiliation with the Northwest Maritime Center, the good ship 48° North will retain its spirit of service to the local sailing community, as well as its editorial independence, while setting course for some exciting, new horizons. By joining the robust and distinguished line-up of Northwest Maritime Center initiatives, 48° North has an opportunity to evolve, grow, and become an even better steward of sailing in our region. The Northwest Maritime Center organizes the Race to Alaska, the 750-mile adventure race from Port Townsend, Washington, to Ketchikan, Alaska. They are home to the successful Wooden Boat Festival that originated in 1976 and has always been a magnet for “salt-water-hippies” who are both forward-thinking and passionate about traditional maritime skills and experiences. Over the years, the organization has grown into a highly respected and impactful maritime non-profit, with the launch of Marine Thrift and SEVENTY48, and an ongoing commitment to placebased, maritime education for our region’s youth. For the Northwest Maritime Center, the addition of 48° North to their operations is a perfect mission fit. This new partnership represents the Northwest Maritime Center’s commitment to support “contemporary maritime life” as well www.48North.com

as the traditional maritime trades and education with which it may be more closely associated. For both organizations, this is a win. For sailors around the Pacific Northwest, it is also great news. When flipping open an issue of 48° North in the future, sailors can expect to see the same great stuff they’ve loved about their local sailing rag for nearly four decades; but they should expect to see more of it (in print and digital) as well as various new features and improvements that will increase 48° North’s relevance, audience, and its positive influence on all things sailing.

We’re still Seattle Sailors! The magazine will still be based in our office overlooking Shilshole Bay here in Seattle, but the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend is now our home away from home! You’ll continue to see us at all the events, both in Seattle and elsewhere, where you’ve seen the 48° North crew in the past. You’ll also still find us out for Duck Dodge (as you did for Tropical Night last month), and lots of other races and sailing events around the Seattle area. 7

A Message from Longtime Publishers: Richard Hazelton and Michael Collins We have some exciting news! As many of you know myself (past editor, Richard Hazelton) and Advertising Director, Michael Collins, have both retired, but have continued to own the magazine while we searched for a good steward to keep the publication alive and a vital part of the Northwest sailing community. We have had offers from sailors who love the magazine, but had not found anyone that fully realized the amount of energy and commitment it takes to keep a publication alive and current, or that a big part of the reward of owning 48° North is being such an integral part of the community we love. That search has ended. We have found stewards who have the energy, and more importantly, the dedication to the sailing community to keep the tradition of 48° North going forward. We are very excited to announce that as of August 1st, the Northwest Maritime Center (NWMC) will take over publishing 48° North. This transition grew out of editor Joe Cline’s experience of working closely with the NWMC on several events like the Race to Alaska. He was impressed with the enthusiasm and commitment they put into projects and thought this might be just what we had been looking for. He discussed it with Jake Beattie, Executive Director of the NWMC, who also agreed this would be a very good pairing for the future of both the magazine and NWMC. He presented the idea to the NWMC board of directors, who wholeheartedly approved. This is just a change of watch. NWMC respects what 48° North has provided, and continues to provide, to the sailing community, so our readers and our advertisers will not see many noticeable changes in their monthly sailing rag. The same crew - editors, writers, and advertising contacts - who enjoy being on the water as much as you do, will still be in place, producing the magazine for sailors by sailors. Racing, cruising, letters, how-to articles, and your stories will all still be there. Just think of this change of ownership as your sturdy ship tacking into a fresh breeze. It’s been an honor working with the sailing community and getting to know so many of you, not just as readers and writers, but as friends. It is your stories, adventures, and willingness to share your knowledge and experiences with your fellow sailors that puts the wind in our sails. Thanks to all of you for allowing Mike and I to have had a job that we lived and loved for so many years. We’re pleased and excited to have the good ship 48° North in capable hands as the NWMC, Joe, and the crew sail into the future. - Richard Hazelton and Michael Collins

A Message from the Executive Director of the Northwest Maritime Center Greetings 48° North Readers! I couldn’t be more excited. It would be impossible to quantify the number of times I’ve been racked out off-watch and thumbing through the latest issue of 48° North, learning a cool new trick, destination, or just dreaming about that back page boat that caught my eye as the next possibility to escape under sail and over the horizon. That we were asked to be the stewards of this institution is an honor, and not one we take lightly. The Northwest Maritime Center is a non-profit that exists to further engagement with the blue parts of our communities. It’s not a one size fits all sort of approach. We started our journey over 40 years ago with the first Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival and since have grown into a multifaceted organization/boating center with learn to sail classes, school programming, mariner training, and recently launched the Race to Alaska and SEVENTY48 to inspire people off their couch and into watery adventures, both in last frontier and their own backyard. We’re a lot of things to a lot of people, including now the keeper of the flame for 48° North. What moved this from being an interesting idea to reality was the shared sense of values. Both the Maritime Center and this magazine care deeply about people: people on the water, stories generated under canvas, accomplishments around the buoys, relationships founded on the principle that a handshake still means something. As much as this is a magazine, 48° North is a cornerstone of this community we all belong to. How do I know you’re a part of it? 80% of you are reading this in one of four places: the bathroom, waiting for your laundry to finish, a broker’s office, or a boat. (As a courtesy, I won’t tell you which of these locations I’m writing from.) Point being, we’re part of this too. We’re sailors and dreamers, and we care deeply about this magazine; both what it has been and what it can be into the future. We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this next chapter. Onward! Jake Beattie Executive Director, Northwest Maritime Center 8

Who is NWMC? Race to Alaska This 750-mile engineless and unsupported adventure race from Port Townsend, WA to Ketchikan, AK. R2AK has received national media attention and is a ‘bucket list’ event for sailors and paddlers alike. Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival The best known wooden boat festival in North America, the Wooden Boat Festival has been at the center of our region’s wooden boat renaissance since it began in 1977. SEVENTY48 New in 2018, a humanpowered race from Tacoma to Port Townsend (seventy miles in 48 hours) that attracted almost 200 participants in its first year. Education The NWMC offers a full suite of programs from US Sailing curriculum, summer camps for kids, enrichment education for schools, boat building workshops, simulator training for professional and aspiring mariners; novice to expert, youth to adult, there is a program for every interest in and around the water. NWMC - Port Townsend Campus NWMC is both a gathering place and a campus for formal and informal education and events. We are a public space at the water’s edge where you can celebrate major life events surrounded by the natural beauty of the seascape. Wooden Boat Chandlery Part hardware store, part marine adventure outfitter, the goal of the Wooden Boat Chandlery is to provide professionals, novices, and the curious public with maritime books, nautical products, and hardto-find knowledge. Marine Thrift A used boat supply store in Port Townsend that operates not as a consignment store but as a non-profit thrift store; all the inventory is donated, and the proceeds benefit the mission and programs of the NWMC.

What Does This Change Mean for 48° North? As a 48° North reader, you may be asking yourself, ‘who are these Northwest Maritime Center (NWMC) folks and what are they going to do with our sailing magazine?’ We think that one of the best ways to contextualize a vision of 48° North as a part of the NWMC is to take a cue from the organization’s history. Since its inception, the NWMC has a strong track record of providing the institutional foundation upon which successful subbrands, initiatives, and events are built. You might be aware of most of these projects, but you may not know that they are tied to the NWMC. Those who work with and for the NWMC are quick to recognize how great things are possible thanks to the thoughtful organizational support provided by the dreamers and doers that make up the NWMC team. For those of you who love 48° North, as we do, the move to become part of the Northwest Maritime Center means that we can continue being the sailing magazine you know and love, only better. What is happening? The Pacific Northwest’s sailing magazine of record, 48° North, has been donated to the non-profit Northwest Maritime Center. The NWMC will continue to publish the magazine into the future in order to preserve and further sailing and water engagement in our region. How did this come about? After trying to sell the magazine for years, co-owners and longtime employees, Richard Hazelton and Michael Collins, determined that the NWMC would be an apt steward of the publication. After eight months of deliberations and due diligence, both the owners and the NWMC determined that it was both feasible and an exciting idea. Why did this make sense for 48° North? Beyond the tax deduction, the NWMC will provide a stable foundation for growing the publication’s reach and content into the future. The legacy of 48° North has a safe harbor at the NWMC. Why did this make sense for the NWMC? With a recent focus on regional growth, plus several members of the board and staff with careers in magazine and print publication, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to further the legacy of the Pacific Northwest’s sailing magazine, while helping grow and evolve this community resource which, by its very being, advances maritime engagement. That we were asked to be this publication’s next steward was an honor. What does this mean for the magazine? In a word, stability. When the donation was finalized on August 1st, the same magazine staff will still go to work in the same office, making the same great free magazine they have made for the last 30-plus years. Over time, the hope is that, with the increased scale and support of the NWMC, the magazine will be able to take a fresh look at itself and continue its evolution into the future. What does this mean for the NWMC? Like the Wooden Boat Festival, Wooden Boat Chandlery, Race to Alaska, SEVENTY48, and Marine Thrift, 48° North will be a department and sub-brand of the Northwest Maritime Center. 48° North will continue to be Seattle-based, but will shift some of the administrative and support functions to the Port Townsend campus. www.48North.com

Letters Response: David Lynch’s Rating Article

All the Power You Need

Dear Joe, David Lynch’s article was interesting, but his claim that the rating systems are equivalent is not necessarily true. I know that he discussed ORC, not ORR, but these two have similar VPP’s which derive the ratings and things are not always as rosy as described; there can be problems with the measurement systems such as ORR and ORC. In my current area, two of my competitors owe me 28 seconds per mile under PHRF, and these ratings have produced excellent racing with corrected times differences often under 10 seconds in a 20 mile race. However the (offshore) GPH ratings for all three of us are virtually level. Under ORR these boats are unbeatable and their records racing in that system are impeccable. Within PHRF those ratings could be challenged but under measurement rules there is nothing that can be done to change them, making ORR a non-starter for me. A lot of people beat up on PHRF, but it’s flexibility makes it good, and I think it’s the best for club racing. Fred Roswold, S/V Wings Mexico Thanks for your response, Fred. In my reading of it, that flexibility under PHRF is something I think David highlights and praises. It’s interesting, I sort of thought his effort to display equivalence was to somewhat validate PHRF, despite its critics. Ratings will always be a point of contention because of the variability of conditions and the human influence on race results. I agree that PHRF should still be the club racing standard, and while its inherent flexibility can create local challenges and “politics,” that flexibility does more good than harm.

Recently, I washed my boat, which is white with black sections. When the boat was wet, the black sections looked good, but as my boat began to dry I noticed that the black sections no longer looked black but had a chalky appearance. I think the fact that my boat is over twenty years old and has been neglected over the years might have something to do with the fact that the fiberglass no longer shines. I have learned that some of the biggest enemies to fiberglass are the UV rays that can ruin the finish on your boat. Here in Florida, the sunshine state, the effects from the sun are more of a problem than where most of you are, but faded fiberglass affects us all. When I owned boats in the Northwest, I simply cleaned the boat and applied a coat of wax and the task was done. When it seemed like we had nine months of rain and the sun rarely made an appearance, those methods seemed ok. When there was more sun, even in the Northwest, I wanted better results. It was time to do some research to see if there is a product that can put life back into the sun weathered, faded and oxidized sections on my boat. My search led me to a product called Poli Glow, which I had never heard of. I ordered the system (there are more steps to the process than just applying a coat of wax). Like most jobs, the instructions state that preparation is the most important step in the process. The first product you use is a concentrated cleaner that removes stains and oxidation. You are supposed to wear gloves when using this system, so I am thinking these products can be harsh. The last step in the process is supposed to seal in any stains on the surface so it is important to take your time in the preparation step.

Fall is a great time to Redeem your 5th Night Free! Please call prior to arrival as some docks will be under construction this fall but Port staff will do everything they can to accommodate all vessels!

Before

After

Having an aging boat, I expected the prep process would take a fair amount of time, and I was right! Once the section I was going to work on was clean I let it dry for an hour before applying the Poli Glow. What surprised me with the Poli Glow was the speed at which it went on. Unlike wax, this system requires six coats, which sounded like a lot! I followed the directions, took the mitt, and applied a couple of lines of the liquid solution.

IT'S ALREADY TIME TO START YOUR 2019 PROJECTS!

The list only gets bigger… Don't make the mistake of waiting until spring.

Letters working on in one direction and waited a few minutes for it to dry. After the first few coats, I could see a change in how the fiberglass was looking. I am amazed at the results I achieved. My once faded, chalky hull has new life; and I am glad to find something that really works. Happy brightening, Gary Dickinson Hudson, FL

Tropical Night at Duck Dodge is one of our favorite nights of they year, but for those of us on the raft, it would be completely impossible without the help of a bunch of great folks and organizations that always go above and beyond. The biggest thank you needs to go to Marine Servicenter. They have long been a sponsor for this event, but things changed this year when they had to get rid of some of their floating docks (our raft from years past). This year, they helped us find and secure a new raft (more on that in a second), but they also devoted staff time and boats (company and personal) to help us move the dock section from its home over by Seattle Yacht Club to Lake Union for the big night, and back. To top it all off, Joel, the new Fleet Manager at MSC cleaned the whole float up (a big and dirty job) for us. Another big thank you needs to go to the good folks at the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association. It was their float that we used this year. Thank you to Bonnie and the whole NYBA crew for trusting us and granting our use of the float. You can thank them yourself if you go (you should go!) to the Boats Afloat Show at South Lake Union this month. Year after year, we are so lucky to work with the Fremont Brewing crew. Not only do they bring the delicious, refreshing beverages, but they always bring great enthusiasm and couldn’t be more helpful with set-up and tear down. Finally, thank you, sailors, for coming out sailing for Tropical Night. Without you there, we’d just be a bunch of weirdos with way too much beer on a non-boat. Thanks for keeping it fun for us! www.48North.com

Product News Most shoes and sandals trap dirt and sand under your toes as you walk, making your feet uncomfortable and track debris into your boat. CGear Sand-Free introduces VENTOLATION, a footwear collection with a patented, innovative design. A removable insole system vents sand, water and air through channels in the sole keeping feet clean, cool and dry. VENTOLATION shoes are durable

Underneath the removable insole, anatomic columns and a center elevation force sand and dirt particles or water to travel to the sides of the shoe. The perforated sole

expels water and sand with every step. The perforated insole can be removed from the shoes for cleaning or to swap in a new color. In addition to keeping sand and water buildup out of shoes the perforation also delivers cooling air-flow to the feet. Wearing VENTOLATION shoes is essentially like standing on air. The columns inside the shoe are spaced apart resulting in less material under foot and rotary ventilation of air. Visit www.cgear-sandfree.com

Mast security is paramount on any yacht, which is why Ronstan says its Type 10 turnbuckles will prove as popular as their previous Type 1 and Type 2 models. The Type 10 is an update of these proven models and uses the same high-grade stainless steel, but

with a new sleek design that Ronstan says will enhance the appearance of any yacht while providing top performance. Fine tuning of your rigging is a simple process with the Type 10. A unique adjustment nut is free to rotate within the sleeve and is then secured with a quick turn on the locking nut. There is a sight hole so you can make sure the thread is properly engaged, while the use of dissimilar but

compatible metals reduce the chance of thread seizure. If you’re heavily into racing, calibrated turnbuckles are available which allow repeatable fine adjustment of rig tension settings. A complete range of eye, fork and toggle termination options mean the Type 10 is suitable for almost any application and the swage fittings are designed to suit industry-standard swaging presses.

Lowtide “The boat appeared when I didn’t expect or, frankly, need her. My bucket list was empty. Life was full... but sailing towards me was a boat that would stir the waters, waking decades of loss, revealing history untold, and restoring a legacy that was lost in the wind. For her and for me, I had to wade into that water. I had to go, to search, to find.” Finding PAX is a story of discovery and reconnection like no other. After falling hopelessly in love with a 1930s Danish spidsgatter, a beautifully constructed 28’ wooden doubleender, Kaci Cronkhite embarked on an international search to unravel the

Books

mystery of the boat’s past and discovered the many lives PAX touched since she first hit the water in 1936. Poetic, spare, and full of wisdom, Kaci Cronkhite’s seven-year search for PAX’s history is an elegant little gem, taking the reader aboard not only for sublime, wind-filled sails, but also to eavesdrop on the conversations and relationships built as Kaci learns more about PAX’s past. After a year out-of-print, Finding PAX is back, in an expanded edition from nautical publisher, Adlard Coles/

Bloomsbury. It includes 30 new color pictures, a map of the boat’s 1937 journey in pre-war Europe, a new epilogue, and has a bright new cover featuring images of three Port Townsend photographers: Michael Berman, Mitchel Osborne, and Nancy Eifert. K a c i w i l l re - l a u n c h the book during the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival in September. More information is available at kacicronkhite.com Finding PAX, $17. 95.

The largest lobster on record was more than three feet long and weighed 44 pounds, caught off Nova Scotia, Canada in 1977. It was sold to a New York restaurant owner. In colonial New England, lobsters were so common that they sold for a penny each. As late as 1880, Maine lobsterman received only two cents a pound for their catch. To m a l l e y i s t h e l o b s t e r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hepatopancreas, a combination liver and pancreas. It turns green when cooked and is considered by some to be a delicacy.

Maritime Trivia by B ryan H enry

Lowtide Due to a genetic defect, about one in 4 million lobsters are blue. The lobster has no cerebral cortex, the area of the brain that gives the perception of pain.

A cull is a lobster missing one or both claws. Lobster claws are known as chilipeds. Lobsters are cannibalistic, which is the reason theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seen in lobster tanks with bands around their claws.

Lobsters consume more than 100 kinds of animals and plants. The teeth of a lobster are in its stomach. They chew their food in the stomach between three grinding surfaces called the gastric mill.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonder that you ever have a lobster dinner because 99 percent of all lobsters die within a few weeks of hatching. The odds are 10,000 to 1 against a larval lobster living long enough to be eaten by humans. For that matter, it is estimated that only 1 in 1,000 animals born in the sea survives to maturity. In lobster lingo, a chicken is a onepound lobster. A hen is the term for a female lobster. Lobsters begin life as eggs no bigger than the head of a pin. Lobsters are so slow-growing that in their second year they are still smaller than a jumbo shrimp. Lobsters can live for more than 60 years. Lobsters, like octopus and many other marine life species, can change their color at will as a disguise. Lobsters can cover a mile each night as they forage for food. A lobster sheds its shell, called a carapace, six to eight times before its first birthday. Lobsters can regenerate legs, claws and antennae. In fact, they can amputate their own claws and legs (called autotomy) to escape danger.

Tropical Night at the Duck Dodge 2018

ropical Night at Duck Dodge is as quintessential as Seattle sailing gets. Fun, silly, and busy, with a heavy dose of tradition (and some beer). This year brought as many boats onto Lake Union for the event as we’ve seen in years. The conditions were ideal; and despite the predictable close calls, we saw no real collisions! It’s always a kick to see so many of you sail by the raft to grab a taste of Fremont Beer or just to say, “Hi!” This year, there was a bit more of a real race going on between the fastest boats on the course and Jonathan Cruse of Freja sent in this report:

Tropical Night, like all Duck Dodge events, is structured as a race but definitely on the casual side, including stops at the 48° North island. This year’s event included a not-so-casual duel between two of the area’s faster racing boats – “Absolutely” and “Freja.” Both boats rate PHRF 18; but the Farr 39ML, “Absolutely” is a lighter boat with a deeper keel; while my an Aerodyne 43 “Freja” is heavier by several thousand pounds, but has more length and slightly taller rig. During Tropical Night last year, “Freja” had some beginner’s luck and took the gold (ahead of “Absolutely” and “Jedi”). As such, the stage was set for a heated re-match and there was some pre-

event trash talking to boost the excitment. The weather was warm, with breeze on the light side but steady; and, Lake Union had an ominous feel due to the haze in the air from wild fires in British Columbia. At the 7:00pm start, “Absolutely” had a better position and therefore the early lead. “Freja” had some good upwind speed and was able to close the gap. The two boats were within seconds of each other at the northwest mark. “Absolutely” held that lead in the downwind leg and both boats

stopped at the 48° North island for beer and t-shirts (sponsored by Ullman Sails). In the next upwind leg, “Freja” had good speed upwind, took the lead and held on for the better part of the next lap. At the southwest mark, the breeze went very light and “Absolutely” capitalized on lighter weight and local knowledge to regain the lead in time for the second pass by the 48° North island. The two boats where very close before the final tack to the finish. “Absolutely”

held on to win by a few seconds. Both boats had to be on-their-game to avoid all the other traffic on the lake as well. The Duck Dodge score between the two boats is now even. In the post-race raft up, the two skippers compared notes on boats, trimming, strategy, and events in which the two boats may meet again.

The rally participants made their own way to Anacortes, and for several, that alone was a multi-day trip. The Rally mind-meld was already on display even in preparation for that trip. Participants asked for advice about getting there, and it was a good opportunity to highlight the merits (and risks) of the approach to Anacortes via the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Deception Pass, or the Swinomish Slough. To everyone’s credit, each boat made it to Anacortes without mishap, though not without challenges of long days or fog (more on that pea soup stuff later...). Arriving at Cap Sante has always felt good to me, and this trip was no different. If there’s a cleaner or better-kept marina in the Salish Sea, I’m not aware of it.

Cascadia Cruising Rally 2018

So, What Brave Souls Came on this Rally?

Pat and Carla McShane Home Port: Eugene, Oregon (the boat lives on Bainbridge) S/V Sunshine, Santana 27 Pat and Carla had experience cruising as a family aboard their previous boat, a San Juan 21. This was their first long cruise aboard their “big” boat, Sunshine. Their Santana 27 has one of the prettiest sea-foam green paint jobs you’ll ever see, but as Carla put it early in the cruise, the mattress they were sleeping on was “about as comfortable as a nice park bench.” Pat and Carla celebrated their wedding anniversary during the rally, and took a break from the park bench lifestyle to kick back in a room at Poet’s Cove resort in Bedwell Harbour.

Agnes and Chris Doute Home Port: Birch Bay Village, Washington S/V True North, Beneteau 331 Chris and Agnes were the first people to sign up for the rally. Chris has been a longtime friend of the magazine, and helps us with magazine delivery to their community in Birch Bay. They have owned their boat for over 15 years, and have been cruising the Pacific Northwest for about half of that time. Chris has several ocean crossings under his belt and, among other things has perfect VHF etiquette, but he will be the first to admit that they don’t spend a lot of time at anchor. He and Agnes say this rally inspired them drop the hook more. Donna and Pat Wendt Home Port: Wenatchee, Washington (the boat lives on the Swinomish Slough) M/V Eagle Spirit, Nordic Tug 34 Donna and Pat courteously asked ahead of time, “Can we come along if we don’t have a sailboat?” Of course! These two former sailors were a superb addition to the rally. They hosted a potluck on their boat in Medicine Beach, and they brought amazingly positive attitudes to every activity. I was really impressed, dark-siders that they are, that they joined (and really enjoyed) Chuck’s seminar on sail trim. To top it all off, Pat and Donna brought along a furry third crew member, their dog Winston, who quickly became the rally mascot. Peter Knudson Home Port: Burien, Washington (the boat lives in Tacoma) S/V Engadine, Saga 35 Peter Knudson just bought his boat. Like just. He was signed up for the rally before the sale was even final. The boat is gorgeous and meticulously kept, but Peter worked tirelessly to get everything ready for cruising. He started out each day giving us a chuckle with some funny retort during our VHF roll call in the morning. I got to sail with Peter between Bedwell and Winter Cove, and experiencing his new boat under sail in the islands, he showed some of the most unbridled enthusiasm for sailing I’ve seen in a long time! Bill and Lyn Rackley Home Port: Birch Bay Village, Washington S/V Commander, Island Packet 35 Bill and Lyn have been sailing for many years, wherever Bill’s career in the Air Force took them. Lyn loves to sail too, but she also takes beautiful photos (many of these are hers) and she’s an accomplished painter. These two are savvy cruisers, splitting their time between their yacht during the summer and their land yacht during the colder months. They were a great resource for all of us with their significant experience. As a bonus, they had the Porsche of dinghies, and were always happy to offer a blazing-fast ride to shore. The Ullman Sails Crew: Chuck Skewes and Sabine Suessmann Home Port: San Diego, California and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico S/V Blackbird, Canadian Sailcraft 40 My collaborators and co-leaders, Chuck and Sabine, were totally crucial to the success of this first-annual Cascadia Cruising Rally. Their experience on other rallies, like the Baja Ha-Ha, was priceless, and they were the consummate hosts and sponsors. It was particularly fun to see Chuck rediscover areas in which he’d cruised with his family in his youth. Similarly, it was great to see Sabine experience the beauty of our Pacific Northwest cruising grounds, even if she found our heat wave a bit chilly compared to San Diego. 30

for that day, and think about our next destination. Squeezed into our cabin, sipping our coffee, we talked through currents in Guemes Channel, ferry traffic in Thatcher Pass, and an anchoring plan in West Sound. That first day, we added a seventh boat to our armada. Vince Townrow had use of a J/105 and decided to join us for the trip to West Sound. Since he was sailing solo, he invited me to join him. I was happy to do so, since Chuck and Sabine were more than capable of cruising Blackbird without me. Plus, I figured there was more chance of making miles under sail on the more performance-oriented design, given the light breeze. We rigged up and motored

carefree toward Rosario Strait. Before we saw it, we heard on the VHF that Rosario was socked in. On a rally like this, each skipper must make his or her own decisions for the safety of their boat and crew. However, there can be safety in numbers, and a prudent sailor may take advantage of their rally colleagues’ experience or equipment. The first three boats in the rally headed into the fog nearby one another. The lead boat, True North, soon heard a too-close-for-comfort fog horn. They quickly turned around and tucked in behind Blackbird, which is set-up with radar. Though the visibility was bad, True North, Commander, and Blackbird, stayed within sight of each other all the way across Rosario and safely through

Thatcher Pass. While several others made the wise choice to wait out the fog (and were rewarded with a lovely sunny sail across Rosario), Vince and I downloaded an AIS app, turned on multiple GPS units, and headed into the soup. We were actually able to sail through the first portion of fog. It was startling when the breeze died, neither one of us could maintain a semblance of a straight course. To give a wide berth to any unseen traffic, we skirted northwest of Lawson Rock before ducking through Thatcher Pass. As we transited the pass into the islands, we immediately sailed completely out of the fog and into sun and a bit a breeze. Up went the kite,

While this was exciting, it made me slightly nervous about the overnight anchorage since West Sound has a reputation for southerlies that make your night uncomfortable or your well-set anchor insecure. But as we made our way past the hazard at Harbor Rock and into Massacre Bay, the breeze lightened, as it would stay for the rest of the night. Just for the practice of it, we anchored under sail. The hook bit on the first try and we were set.

Those who waited out the fog arrived only an hour later, grinning after a great sail. West Sound is just gorgeous, and several of our crew went ashore to explore Skull Island State Park.

We made quick work of 16 miles with negligible current and glassy waters. If you have make miles with the engine, it’s nice if there’s no breeze at all... even the lightest breeze tempts me into a seldom-effective try with the sails up. In no time, we were entering Bedwell Harbour and preparing to clear customs. This had been a source of major discussion before the rally. It is difficult to accurately interpret what food, especially fruits and vegetables, you may bring into Canada from Washington. Most of our cruisers chose not to bring anything. We had some lettuce and carrots, bananas and limes. I can’t say declaratively why, but these did not cause us a problem. In fact, the agent asked whether they were for eating, which of course the were, and that put the inquiry to bed. All Cascadia Cruising Rally boats passed the border clearance test with flying colors, and the four boats that intended to anchor made a bee-line for Medicine Beach on the far north end of the bay. The others had arranged for spots at the resort marina. I had read some things about a nice anchorage up by Medicine Beach: good bottom, a sandy beach, an unusual saltwater marsh ecosystem, and there’s even some basic shore-side amenities (liquor store and pizza place). For the second time in as many days, we found a lovely, placid anchorage without a crowd. We pulled in and trolled a little bit for depth and the right spot. While the whole area inside (northwest) of the charted kelp and rocks is anchorable with depths between 20 and 30 feet, we dropped the hook off of Blackbird twice without

dynamic. At essentially the same moment entering Plumper Sound, we looked at each other, and then at the masthead, and then back at each other... “We’ve got breeze, let’s go sailing!” Busying ourselves with the enjoyable work of rigging up, we were soon broad reaching at the same speed we’d been motoring. The Saga is a Perry design and, true to his line, performed impressively in the lightto-moderate air. Our rally pals moved on ahead, motoring on rhumb line, but we were cruising under sail! Peter, in particular, was ebullient. He doesn’t have that many days actually sailing his new boat, and to experience his boat in that place in that weather - he was living the dream. By the time we made it into Winter Cove, Blackbird had a solid set for a fullgroup raft-up. All six boats tied together, and we relaxed into our new home. Before long, the itch to discover needed a scratch and we first dinghied, and then went ashore, to check out Boat Pass. A narrow and roiling cut from Winter Cove into the Strait of Georgia, boat pass is intimidating, but passable for fast, shallow-draft boats. Several

of us admitted that when a fishing boat made for the pass at 20 knots, our thoughts ranged from, “no, no, no” to “nice knowin’ you, dumbass.” The fishing boat transited just fine. That first night in Winter Cove was Music Night. Agnes from True North and I set up shop in the cockpit of her boat, along with Wayne Gilham, a special guest from a non-rally boat playing some kind of dulcimer. We played a mix of crowd-pleasers and a little obscure stuff over the course of an hour. I know we had fun. Our rally friends gathered on Blackbird while this was happening and seemed to enjoy themselves too. I’ll tell you this - Janis Joplin ain’t got nothin’ on Agnes! Our final layover day had two key features - a long trip to the Lighthouse Pub and a fresh anchoring challenge. The entire group, by foot or dinghy, met for lunch over at the lovely pub at Saturna Point. The walking group enjoyed a 12km amble through the picturesque countryside, which was accented with roadside blackberry picking sessions. We shared a hearty meal and started to reflect on the good times

Cascadia Cruising Rally 2018 hook oriented to the building southerly breeze. However, as that new breeze built, our six-boat raft proved too much for the single Bruce anchor. To our own consternation and the worry of the other boats around us, we began to drag. We motored the raft forward and re-set two anchors. Now, we were holding again. The breeze came and went and the current pumped and swirled. All the while the raft swung, never finding a steady orientation. We gathered for one final potluck aboard Blackbird, toasted one another for the wonderful week, and gave away a few thank-you prizes. But before the light was gone, we decided that the conditions were too inconsistent for another night rafted up. We broke up the raft and anchored individually around Winter Cove. Other than making the safe choice, the best part of this call was the occasion to be out in the dinghy after dark to see the magical bioluminescence. The last day of the rally was our longest travel day - 33 miles from

Our fun, but eventually problematic raftup in Winter Cove. Winter Cove back to Cap Sante. To make matters worse, our progress was slowed by stronger opposing currents than we anticipated in the morning, and thus we spent more time late in the day fighting the flood as we made our way down Rosario Strait. On the bright side, we got some great sailing in during the morning hours, and the surroundings are just too beautiful to be very upset about a longer-thanpredicted trip.

Two of our six boats continued cruising to other destinations, but the four boats who were supposed to make it back to Cap Sante eventually did. The Ullman Sails crew treated us to one more meal. We hugged our new rally friends like the cruising family we now were, and went our separate ways. Looking back on this first annual Cascadia Cruising Rally, I’m incredibly happy about, and proud of, the outcome. From all parties, good feelings and satisfaction abound. Every participant asked us about next year, and Chuck and I already have plans in the works. This fun new tradition is here to stay, and ready for more of you to join us in 2019! I’d like to extend a very special thank you to a few folks: thank to Chuck and Sabine from Ullman Sails for their time and effort as my partners in rally crime; also I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Roy Rard for the use of his sturdy and luxurious CS40, “Blackbird” as the Rally HQ boat.

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

Go ashore - poke around tidepools, and chances are good you’ll find this little sculpin. It might take a bit of looking, because their habit of secrecy means staying put, not moving a fin and waiting for you to pass by. Superbly camouflaged, these small 3.5” fish settle to the tide pool bottom and blend in so well with sand, crushed shells and bits of seaweed they just disappear. Put your hand over the water and, like a flash, they shoot forward to a safer place. It’s still the same tidepool, so just watch them flash, settle, and then have a good look. As the tide returns, sculpins could move about to other areas, but they have a home pool and rarely stray far. If moved, say 300 feet, to another tidepool, they return to their original pool, not unlike salmon returning to spawn to their home stream.

There are five sculpin species here and all are carnivores, hunting small crustaceans and seaworms. In turn, they are hunted by all sorts of predators from herons to otters, so sharp spines that take the place of scales are protection as they live in a confined space with no escape. Sculpins occasionally get stranded out of water at low tide, beneath seaweed or under rock ledges. Not to worry. These fish can breathe air until the water returns a few hours later. Other fish can do this, too, and it is somewhat reminiscent of when fish crawled out of the water for good and took to the land in an evolutionary move that eventually became us. Think about that next time you see one of these little fish. Is that you, grand dad?

Previously Known as

Longest Day ofthe Year By Becca Guillote

Jfor backyard barbeques, celebrating une 21: the summer solstice. A day

summer, and, if you’re in Seattle, watching naked bike riders stream through the streets of Fremont. In the northern hemisphere, June 21 represents the beginning of summer and the longest day of the year. The sun, invigorated by its proximity to the earth and full of warmth, climbs high into the sky, encouraging flowers to bloom, squirrels to scamper about and hibernating humans to emerge, blinking in the brightness. In Seattle, at 48 degrees north, the sun lingers in the sky late into the evening, reticent to leave after bestowing 16 glorious hours of welcome sparkling daylight (or often, a lighter grey cloud cover), and overtly rebuffing the damp dark winter for the vitamin D-induced frenzy of summer. This year on June 21, we were rafted up with a handful of other boats on the single dock that juts into the bay in Warm Springs Cove, on the eastern side of Baranoff Island in Alaska. After a day of bashing through unexpectedly steep seas, we had earned our luxurious soak in the spring-fed tubs overlooking the dramatic waterfall at the head of the bay. The merciless sea state that day

had slowed our progress considerably, and it was well after 9pm when I finally slipped into the blissfully hot water. The sun still dawdled above Baranoff’s mountain chain, as if it was waiting for us to settle in before dipping behind the mountains and firing the sky into a thousand pinks and oranges. What a way, I thought, to spend the longest day of the year. But then my mind, foggy in the sleepy steam rising around me, centered on the realization that June 21 is only the longest day of the year for those who stay relatively stationary. As July expanded and the days started their long descent towards winter, we would be racing the sun north, our days getting longer even as summer waned. June 21 would not be the longest day of the year for us. I tried to estimate when we would encounter our longest day but the hot soothing water melted away my calculations. I shrugged and turned my attention instead to the remnants of our latenight sunset, still sending energetic streaks of color across the sky. Our days continued to lengthen, sometimes extending noticeably from day to day. On our 4-day passage from Dutch Harbor, in the Aleutian Islands, to Nome, on the Seward Peninsula, we September 2018

sailed due north across 10 degrees of latitude. The sun still set each night, dipping below the horizon for a few hours before reappearing slightly further east, but by my last night watch, I had enough twilight to easily read a book in the cockpit at 2am. Once recovered from my delightful steam-induced lethargy in Warm Springs Cove, I figured our longest day would occur shortly after we crossed into the arctic circle, assuming we were able to do so before late July. The arctic circle is determined by the point at which the sun never dips below the horizon for at least one day of the year (which would be June 21, of course). The exact latitude that marks the arctic circle shifts slightly with the tilt of the earth, but it is at approximately 66° 33’ north. If we crossed into this magical circle before the sun started to sag below the horizon in July, weary from so many days of perpetually shining, we would experience 24 hours of full daylight. The day can’t get much longer than that. But our time in Nome dragged along as we waited for the ice movements and weather patterns to align. I was nervous the sun wouldn’t wait for us much longer before claiming its rest

below the horizon each night. Finally, after 18 days of studying ice charts and weather forecasts; of anticipating our departure day after day; of biding our time visiting dog sledding teams and panning for gold and picking berries and exploring Nome; finally, we untangled our lines from the pier and hastened north once again, bound for the Arctic Circle. It was midmorning on July 31st when DogBark! unknowingly slid across an imaginary line and all at once, just like that, we were in the Arctic. We celebrated with an arctic party on the bow, complete with dancing and whooping while touting a full set of fleece arctic animal onesies (of course). In spite of our arctic locale, we were too far past June 21st to see 24 hours of light at the southern extremity of the circle. We would just have to keep sailing north. Our goal was Barrow. At 71° North, Barrow glows for 48 days straight, the sun pinned to the heavy blue sky all the way into August. But the weather had other plans. Despite my yearning to witness the sun scrape across the horizon in the middle of the night, an incoming 35-knot northerly implored us to sit tight in Point Hope. And so that is what we did. For six days, we hunkered down in Point Hope, once again employing creative tactics to keep the cabin fever at bay. We battled mosquitos, played “lava monster” tag with local kids at the playground, perused the few timid vegetables on the shelves of the grocery store, and played games. Lots of games. It took quite a bit of head-scratching and, in the end, a homemade graph to determine just when and where DogBark! experienced her longest day this year. While we missed Barrow’s 24 hours of sun deadline (August 1), we still sailed north faster than the sun could rush towards winter. On August 7, the day we spent in Barrow, we had 20 hours and 39 minutes of sunlight, nearly 3 hours more than we had on June 21 in Warm Springs Cove. The next day, we rounded the most northern town in the USA and dropped south far enough to discount the rest of August in the competition of longest day. I will admit I was disappointed to miss seeing all 24 hours of daylight.

But in our head-scratching and graphmaking, I learned about a new trick the sun does at this time of year that made up for my disappointment. On August 7, now known as OUR longest day of the year, the sun set before it rose. Mind: blown. Having reveled through the night of August 6, the sun finally flopped into nighttime at 12:57am and groaned at its alarm a short three hours later when it rose at 4:09am. It did not set again until the next day. We sailed through an upside-down day! As my mind melted into a steamy sleep in Warm Springs Cove, on the

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

GRIB Thing: Part One Images invoke meaning and emotion without words. Feeling is interpreted rather than defined. The take-away is personal. For example, the image of a turtle caught in a net may bring sadness for the suffering, anger for the loss, or happiness for the catch. Discern as you will, but do it quickly because you have thousands more images to see today. Between the turtle and cute puppy pictures, if you’re a sailor, a weather forecast image may fill your screen. Interpreting it may look as easy as playful puppies, but there’s more to it. Digitally imaged weather forecasts are the most common form of weather information for cruising sailors. They are referred to as GRIB files or just GRIBs. GRIB literally, is a specific type of computer file format called “GRIdded Binary.” Technically, someone saying, “Hey dude, you see that nasty GRIB?” could be answered with “wicked binary, right!” Since GRIB file format carries highly compressed meteorological data, colloquially GRIB means weather forecast with one very important distinction. GRIB forecasts are created entirely by computer – no happy human forecaster. I have a theory about this: 1. Simple humans observed weather as it happened. 2. Clever humans developed weather prediction devices, such as

“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.” Though catchy, results varied and humans complained. 3. Cleverer humans advanced weather predicting with global observations and recording mashed with scientific methods. Trained weather experts, meteorologists, learned to forecast weather no matter what color the sky is. Accuracy improved but meteorology is imperfect, so meteorologists got ridiculed. 4. The cleverest meteorologists devised a way for computers to forecast weather, display it as a series of images and deliver it in a compact GRIB file. Easy to use, and when wrong, the GRIB file is blamed! No human forecaster ego is harmed when rain unexpectedly ruins little Sally’s outdoor birthday party. Cleverest Meteorologists! That’s not all. A GRIB forecast is a wordless image requiring interpretation. Symbolic language in the form of lines, pointed arrows, barbed arrows, colors, etc. all have meaning to guide our interpretation. This creates a problem. Symbolic meaning must be concise or the image becomes unreadably cluttered. Yet concise symbols get confused as literal meaning. For example, wind-barbs, the small barbed arrows denoting wind direction and speed can show 25 knots. This is often taken to mean maximum windspeed

will be 25 knots. Surprise! It could be a blustery 20 to 30 knots, gusting to 40 and still be a good forecast. Put another way, computer generated GRIB forecasts require YOU to interpret data. You are the forecaster. Two sailors looking at the same GRIB can, and often do, interpret very different forecasts. When the forecast is wrong because of a poor interpretation, the computer generated GRIB forecast gets the blame. It’s the ultimate revenge for millennia of abusing well-intended weather predictors! This is all just a working theory. It could also be that we all need to better understand the wordless language of GRIB weather. GRIB Source: This is any entity that creates a GRIB model (computer generated, visually modeled forecast). Sounds obvious, but it’s often confused in a way we’ll clear up shortly. GRIB Model: A model is a way to conceptualize or show elements (surface wind direction and speed, gusts, rain, cloud, convection, barometric pressure, and more) of a weather forecast. To easily distinguish them, GRIB models come with catchy acronym names. GFS for Global Forecast System. ECMWF for European Centre for MediumRange Weather Forecasting, sometimes called “European model.” Both of these GRIB models forecast many elements of weather. Other models, like RTOFS, predict only ocean current and water temperature. What’s important to know about models is that each is derived from proprietary methods, involving massive weather data collection (current and historical) and bigtime computer processing. Compare wind speed and direction GRIB forecasts from multiple GRIB models (GFS, ECMWF, CMC, PWC, etc.) for a specific place and time. When they agree, the wind will probably happen as predicted. When they disagree, take your pick (good luck with that!). Or use a strategy to forecast the forecast with better probability of matching the actual weather. GRIB Ensemble: A GRIB ensemble is a GRIB model averaged from multiple

models. Models have strengths and mentioned above. weaknesses. By combining them, the Both the standalone apps and webresults may be a safer prediction, in the based viewers display literal data files same way that a mutual fund may be in GRIB format.

Set-up for Successful Anchoring

o T -

By Alex and Jack Wilken

Anchoring can seem daunting at first as you are dropping a steel hook several fathoms* onto an unseen bottom, followed by many more fathoms of chain and rode** in the hope that it will keep you where you want to be. Having your anchoring system properly set up is an essential part of making the process run smoothly and be successful. Let’s look at the process of setting up an anchor system for your boat so that you may anchor with ease. *A fathom is equal to six feet **The anchor rode is the line and/or chain and/or cable that attach the anchor to the boat; it is also the name of the line specifically. To understand the gear, you must understand the process. To anchor, you want to carefully pick your spot. A good depth sounder can greatly facilitate this, including such innovations as side and forward scanning depth sounders. Even an old-fashioned lead line can mean the difference between the anchor setting the first time and finding out it’s too deep in a particular spot, preventing you from having to pull up all the ground tackle (anchor and rode) to start again. When measuring the water depth, be sure to know how the depth sounder is calibrated, as it can be reading from its position several feet under water, the bottom of the keel, or the waterline. Checking the chart, the cruising guide, and talking with

other boaters are all important parts of successful anchoring. Every anchorage is different, and experience is the only way to really know exactly what to expect. Once you have your spot, you need to get the anchor and rode down. An anchor roller is pretty essential for this (Figure 1); although, a large fender tied in place can do an adequate job instead of an anchor roller to keep the anchor and chain off the hull and give you something to rest against and not have to hold the full weight of the ground tackle (Figure 2). Installing an anchor roller is similar to installing a winch or windlass as we covered in our past 48° North articles, “Installing Winches” (April 2011) and “Install a Windlass” (April 2017). The main difference with installing an anchor roller is that the space for the backing plate and bolts will often be tight. Using a longer roller can be necessary in order to get the bolt holes far enough back from the joint with the hull to give the bolts enough space for installation (Figure 1). If the deck is cored, you will need to replace the core with solid fiberglass around the holes. In addition to the helpful anchor roller, you will need the anchor rode to be able to run out freely without snagging and tangling. Carefully flaking the rode into the anchor locker (if you have one) can go a long way towards this. The chain is less critical in its shape so long as each piece of chain is on top, or next to the next piece that has to go out. If you have a hawse pipe or deck plate (Figure 1), you should probably lay out the rode on deck that you want to put overboard Figure 1: “A” Anchor roller mounted on the bow to hold the so that it does not anchor and rode off the hull and give a pivot point to run the rode snag. over. “B” Bolts holding the anchor roller in place. “C” Hawse pipe, You also need or in this case deck plate, for bringing the anchor rode up on deck. to know how much September 2018 www.48North.com 42

Fig. 2: Fenders can be tied in place on the boat to make a simple anchor roller if the boat does not have one, particularly in an emergency. It is important to hold the fender out so that when you pull on the rode it keeps it off the hull. The boat in this case has a bow anchor roller but nothing in the stern. rode, also known as ‘scope’, to put down. To calculate this, you need the depth of the water plus the height of the anchor roller off the water. You want to put 5-10 times that much rode out for good holding. A ratio of 7:1 is the typical compromise with chain and rode with 5:1 being acceptable with all chain or if you will be staying with the boat and checking to make sure it is not dragging. And, remember the tide! If the water will be 8’ or 14’ higher in six hours, you should put out enough rode now and be sure of the anchor holding. For example, let us say you are anchoring in 27’ of water and the roller is another 3’ up. Then you would need to put out 150-300’ of rode. If the tide were going to be coming in another 10’, then it needs to be 200-400’. When in doubt, put out more to set the anchor, and, once you are sure it is holding, you can bring some in if necessary. Once you have calculated how much rode is required, you must measure how much you are letting out. Some windlasses have chain counters that count it off as it goes out, but the more typical method is to mark the rode at regular intervals. If you have a lot of chain, you can paint it at intervals, though this tends to wear off and needs repainting more frequently than putting colored plastic inserts into the chain. These are available for 1/2”, 3/8”, and 5/16” chain (Figure 3). You can mark rode with colored tie-wraps or colored polyester fabric anchor rode

markers with lengths written on them. Even if your rode is not marked, you can measure it out on the deck, and lay it out to go over easily ahead of time. Arm span roughly equals height, which, if you are 6’, is one fathom. So, now you have picked your spot and are ready to let the ground tackle over the side. Now you need to let the anchor down to the bottom and lay out the rode in the direction we want it to tend and set it, usually achieved by motoring up to the spot and then letting it out as you reverse away from the anchor. Once it is stretched out, you can slowly back down on it to set it, then gently increase RPMs to test it. Take a line sight to check if you’re set: pick two points some distance apart, in line on land. You can use the GPS to set an anchor alarm and help confirm you are not moving. (Use other visual references first and just use the GPS to confirm what you already know).

Figure 3: “A” Colored anchor chain markers can be inserted into the chain links. To be sure you see them as the chain runs out, use multiple at the chain-rode transition. “B” Made from heavy, vinyl coated polyester fabric in three different colors, anchor rode markers are numbered for every 30’, and can be slipped into the rode.

This all requires good communication between the crew. Radios work. If you have cell reception, so do hands free devices for cellphones. We use a crewmember between the helmsman and whoever is deploying the anchor to relay the information whenever possible as well as using hand signals. It is best not to strain the windlass more than necessary, so do not leave the anchor rode pulling against it. If you are at the line portion of the rode, you can simply cleat it off. If you are at chain, a chain hook or chain-stopper is best. Whatever you use to take the strain off the windlass, it must be able to take the whole load of the boat surging on the anchor. After it is set and secured, it is best to come up and check on it from time to time to make sure the anchor is holding and that the boat is not coming too close to other boats as it swings on the anchor. Stay alert for wind shifts, too. Getting your ground tackle back aboard is essential. If it is light enough, and you are strong enough, you can pull it in by hand. Using a ratcheting anchor stopper (Figure 4), you can get a rhythm going using the buoyancy of the bow to work the chain up more easily. If you’re interested in more of this, check out our article, “Installing a Chain Stopper” (48° North June 2014). You may also take the rode to a winch, and, if you are bringing in chain, you can use a chain hook attached to a line and take that to a winch to help bring it up. A windlass makes this less complicated as the wildcat pulls in the chain. Some wildcats can also handle rode, though the transition between the two can be a problem if it is done with a shackle. Both Nylon Braid 8 plait and

Fig. 4: This chain stopper (or chain pawl) let’s you pull in on the chain but does not let the chain back out until opened. 3 strand line can be spliced right onto the chain for a smoother transition, but 8 plait is stronger and easier to store and handle. If the wildcat cannot pull in the rode, you can take it to the drum on the other side and use that to pull it in. A manual windlass will also do the job, though it can take a while compared to a powered windlass. There are many parts to the anchoring system - the sailor is most important - and they must all work together. Inspect your anchor system; look for signs of wear; make sure everything works. You can test your anchoring system at the dock to get a feel for how well it works or if it can be improved. Then go out and test it nearby, for lunch, say. The only way to improve is to attempt it and learn from the attempt. If we can make the attempts easier and less stressful, we can more quickly build our level of confidence and competence.

Although slate is no longer quarried, the rugged dark slate beach, quarry pits, steep hillsides, small railway and rows of white cottages bear evidence of an industry which supplied England with much of its roofing slate. The museum, explaining the slate operations, serves delightful cake - impossible to turn down on a rainy day. Coffee Cake with Baileys Irish Cream 1¼ cups sugar plus ¾ cup sugar 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon ¾ cup butter, softened 3 cups flour 1¼ cups sour cream ½ cup Baileys Irish Cream 3 eggs - beaten 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract 1½ teaspoons baking powder 1½ teaspoons baking soda Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease angel food cake pan with butter. In small mixing bowl combine cinnamon and sugar. In large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour, sour cream, Irish Cream, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Beat until blended, then 3 more minutes. Pour ½ of the batter into cake pan and sprinkle with ½ the cinnamon sugar mixture. Pour in remaining batter to form the second layer and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon and sugar mix. Bake 50 minutes. 44

Fine Fare Amidst Cold Fronts Amanda Swan Neal Our next passage was somewhat longer; 250 miles to Inishbofin, a small island off the NW coast of Ireland and a previous haunt of pirate queen Grace O’Malley. Upon completing a ramble to Grace’s castle, we took advantage of the somewhat-rare NW winds and set sail south for the Connemara Peninsula. Well rested after a quiet night at anchor, we delighted in an early start the next Pub Grub at the Atlantic.

morning for the Aran Islands. Inishmore has bicycles and horse traps for hire and with sunny skies we were eager to visit the stunning clifftop bronze age Dun Aengus Fort. The winds increased during our sail to More Bay on the Kilkee Peninsula and we spent the night on anchor watch due to serious pitching and were happy to be away sailing by 0500. With worsening weather we rode out a gale tucked safely inside Fenit Harbour before heading to Smerwick; a lovely sandy bay, but rolly anchorage, on the Dingle Peninsula. Thankfully the weather was calmer for our motorsail to Great Blasket Island. Formerly home to a hearty group of Gaelic speaking fishermen, shepherds and smugglers, the island was evacuated in 1953 due to its isolation. We tackled the landing and steep hillside to explore the rebuilt cottages before wandering the white sand beach where a rookery of seals basked in the sun. With hopes to find Celtic music on Saturday night we headed to Knights Town; a historic village on Valentia Island. A singer/songwriter was performing, but alas it was in the next village and started at 2230 - long past our bedtime. Instead I raided Paul’s self-service greenhouse with designs to create the following. Strawberry Basil Chicken 4 chicken breasts - pounded to 1-inch thick 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 garlic cloves - crushed

½ teaspoon sea salt ½ teaspoon pepper 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries 1 cup chopped fresh basil 3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze Combine strawberries, basil, balsamic and 1 tablespoon olive oil. In a large skillet heat olive oil, add garlic; cook a few minutes. Salt and pepper each side of chicken, cook until golden; 4 minutes per side. Top chicken servings with strawberry mix and serve with salad greens. Serves 4. Near Fastnet Rock, we were greeted with a sheltered inlet at Crookhaven Harbour. Dozens of folks soaked up the sun with a pint at O’Sullivans while their kids jumped off the wharf; a delightful sight from the drizzly weather that had hounded us. Sadly, the next morning brought another front for our passage to Baltimore, but it made the township’s raiding history and commanding 800-year-old Dun Na Sead Castle come to life. A fast broad reach to The Iles of Scilly, off the tip of SW England, was accompanied with whales and dolphins and we landed at St Mary’s eager to discover it’s pub-grub of which Beef and Guinness pie was a hit. Upon returning to Mahina Tiare, strong wind and rain heralded the arrival of yet another front and by morning we’d chafed through two mooring pennants. During our oatmeal breakfast the harbor master stopped by. He was strongly advising everyone to leave the anchorage and suggested we head to Falmouth. It was a doozy - winds gusted into the low 30s against strong tidal currents and as we crossed the Traffic Separating Zone fog and drizzle fell upon us. Beef and Guinness Pie pastry to make a pie 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 red onion - chopped 2 cloves garlic - crushed 2 carrots - chopped 2 celery sticks - diced 4oz mushrooms - sliced 1 lb stewing steak 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary - chopped pinch salt and ½ teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon plain flour 1 cup (aprox. half can) Guinness ¼ cup beef stock

4oz grated cheddar - divided 1 egg - beaten In large ovenproof saucepan, heat olive oil and sauté onions 10 minutes. Add garlic, carrots, celery, mushrooms, beef, rosemary, salt and pepper; cook 4 minutes. Add flour and cook 1 minute then add Guinness and stock. Stir in half the cheddar, allow to cool for one hour. Preheat oven to 375ºF Place ⅓ pastry to one side. Roll out the pastry pieces and line the base of a greased pie dish. Fill with beef and scatter with remaining cheddar. Brush pastry edges with beaten egg, place on top and pinch edges together to form a crust. Brush top with beaten egg and make a small slit with a knife in the center of lid. Bake 45 minutes. Banana Oatmeal with Walnut and Dates 2 cups water 2 cups milk plus additional for serving 3 bananas (½ cup mashed, the remainder sliced for serving) 2 cup old-fashioned oats 2 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg

⅛ teaspoon cloves 4 tablespoons full-fat canned coconut milk, for topping (optional) ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract pinch sea salt ½ cup toasted chopped walnut 4 tablespoons brown sugar, plus additional for servings (optional) In saucepan combine all ingredients except walnuts & sliced banana and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently; 7 minutes. Garnish with walnuts, sliced bananas and brown sugar. Serves 4. Thankfully, the wooded picturesque Helford River proved a tranquil final anchorage before our arrival in Falmouth where we shared dock space with the Volvo Race yacht AkzoNobel. In chatting with a kiwi mate aboard, it was interesting to hear that the weather conditions had forced them to retire from a sponsorship run to New York.

The Loonie Method of Nautical Harmony Relationship Tips from New Cruisers By Carl Davis

his past June, my wife Roz and I embarked on our first big cruise—30 days from our home on Orcas Island up through the Gulf Islands and over to Desolation Sound aboard our Tartan 3400, Monty. Happily, everything went very well. We didn’t hit any rocks, and we almost always knew pretty much where we were. We have only been sailors for a year, and have had a steep learning curve acquiring the myriad skills needed for successful cruising— sailing, motoring, diesel maintenance, docking, weather and navigation—but one skill we discovered we needed to learn wasn’t mentioned in any of our sailing course: how to ensure smooth interpersonal communication. One advantage Roz and I had when learning to cruise is that we both started sailing at the same time, with the same instructors. Since we learned from the same body of knowledge, now we almost never argue about the right way to do things. Also, since we were both equally new to boating, we’ve never had a power imbalance created when one spouse has been sailing for years and the other is perpetually stuck in the newbie role. 46

With no inherent chain of command or master-and-mate dynamic, we have been able to avoid any Mutiny on the Bounty scenarios. Instead, we have adopted a collaborative leadership structure, making full utilization of the powerful scientific principle: two heads are better than one.

During our cruise, we did experience one persistent hiccup, which was the intoxicating temptation to micro-manage each other. While most folks would find Roz and I generally easygoing and agreeable, one flaw we share is a strong tendency to believe that what each of us thinks is invariably true and correct. Add to that a strong tendency to ask not to be told what to do, and we have the essential components for friction and combustion. Did this get us into trouble? On a boat for 30 days where decisions need to be made at seemingly every moment... You can guess the answer. Example: Roz is at the helm. We are under sail, beating upwind. I am looking at the wind indicator, and I see that it looks like she is heading up just a bit too much, the sails are beginning to luff and I suspect that our speed is falling off. So I say (very helpfully, IMHO), “Honey, it looks like you’re pointing up too much, don’t you want to fall off a bit?” Can you guess Roz’s response? If you guessed: “Honey, I am so grateful, I would have NEVER noticed that I was pointing a degree too high. You are the best sailor and wisest and most helpful

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.

She is performing a Back and Fill, a 270 degree turn to get us pointing in the right direction. I notice that the crosswind is pushing us towards the boats on the leeward side. I yell out to Roz: “Speed up— we’re getting too close to those boats!” And Roz snaps back, “I can see that!” Without thinking I reply: “When I am concerned, I am going to speak up!” In other words, our whole Loonie bit gets dropped when one of us perceives a danger. Then, you must speak up. Now, back at home, we still find that the Loonie Method retains its charm and power. We still practice it, although we’ve had to replace Loonies with dollar bills; and it still brings a laugh when one of us has to pay up. It continues to raise awareness of how we communicate, and we now find ourselves much better at trusting that the other will eventually figure out an effective way to do whatever they’re doing without the help of the other. So give the Loonie Method a try. It just might raise awareness and make for smooth sailing when communication with your partner gets stormy and rough. And, enjoy those hot, luxurious marina showers!

Cowichan Bay Sailing Association

Cowichan Bay Regatta

he Cowichan Bay Regatta is held annually on the first weekend of August. Statistically the best weather weekend of the year, the thermals roll in daily at about 10:00am when the interior temperature is starting to scorch. It lasts until we are good and tired, and everyone is ready for some barbecue and cold beer. From the Puget Sound area, it’s a journey to get there, but hard to complain about an inevitable stop in the San Juan Islands along the way. Cowichan Bay is lovingly called Cow Bay, and the cute town and the regatta t-shirts are ripe with bovine humor. Regatta organizers are perpetually cheerful, and the race committee runs a tight ship. Camping is free and quite rustic, moorage is cheap and a bit rickety, parties are usually pretty epic, and the ice is always sold out. However, the reason we go is that the racing is predictably fantastic: great breeze 99% guaranteed, straight courses, and strong competition. The Canadians are fun and competitive, and it’s nice to see the familiar faces again each year. The major players are always the multihulls and the Martin 242 fleet. Cow Bay is always host to the Northwest Multihull Championship and they show up in force, and usually cook the dinner on Saturday night. The multihulls all start together on the same line. If you’ve never seen 14 big multihulls flying hulls at the same time at the same place crossing tacks, it’s worth the price of admission for sure. Finishing first was the jaw-dropping new kid on the block Dragon. Duncan Gladman’s multihull is a sight to be seen and is allegedly cueing up for the next R2AK. Other top spots went

to some perpetual favorites: Bad Kitty, Geneva, Son of Raven, and Dragonfly in the top 5. Not to be outdone, the Martin 242 fleet held their North American Championship at Cow Bay and fielded a fleet of 18 boats. With close racing, no general recalls, great parties and cool prizes, they owned the weekend. Maintaining the top spot was perpetual champion Michael Clements’ Too Wicked. The next few spots were highly contested and in the end they went to Kelowna’s Dirty Dog and two boats from Orcas Island, Chris White’s Crazy I’s and Betsy Wareham’s Purple Martin.

In PHRF 1 victory went to our good buddy and Cow Bay rookie, Stuart Burnell’s J-109, Tantivy. Next up was Ben Powers’ Baaad Kitty and Ron Jewula’s pretty red boat Kairos. PHRF 2 was a mix of sport and displacement boats, and the former of the two claimed the pickle dishes for the weekend. First went to Katrina Stukas in her Melges 24, Hold My Beer, second to the always-fast Left Coast Dart, Ogopogo and third to Melges 24, Sunnyvale in a fleet of 10. www.48North.com

September 2018

PHRF 3 had a good mix 27 footers, sprinkled with some bigger and faster and some slower and smaller on either end in a fleet of 13. There was tight competition between the two J/29s and the Hotfoot and Santa Cruz 27s all weekend. Toss in a few bigger boats to stir it up a bit, and we had to stay vigilant! Top spot for the weekend went to Stephanie Schwenk’s Wild Rumpus. PHRF 4 rounded out the regatta, and the top two spots went to long-time rival competitors in the Thunderbird 26 fleet. Vidas Stukas took first with his sweet super-modified T-bird Zig Zag, and second went to long time Cow Bay racer and supporter Alex Fox and Heidi Leckenby on Scooter. Unconfirmed story, but I think Scooter looks a LOT like Vidas’ old boat! The breeze came in like clockwork all weekend. On Saturday, the breeze was a bit lighter and slightly more left on the beat than usual. It never dropped under 5 knots, and it was occasionally over 15, and perfect for an easy sailing day. We did continue to hit the shore on the way upwind, but with a late starboard lift up the course, we didn’t hold the beach lane as long as usual and we didn’t get to visit the revelers on the second dock along the shore. If you’ve been there, you know what I mean! Tack out at the dock party! Sunday morning, the breeze filled in sooner and stronger, and lasted a bit longer. It was the standard upper teens, and allowed for a few more zooms on the kite runs. Another great Cow Bay weekend complete!

Moore 24 Nationals

first visited the Hood River Gorge Ialuminum in the 1980s, the days of teak booms, masts and nobody wore

helmets. Of course in that case, I’m talking windsurfers. Now of course the windsurfers are up on foils, the rigs are carbon including sails and battens, and except for few folks in cowboy hats, most riders are wearing helmets. Here I am in 2018 with my college roommate pal and he has a house big enough to house our entire collegiate sailing team. The vessels we’re competing in, the Moore 24, still has an aluminum rig, teak trim rail, and Dacron mainsail. Thirteen boats, primarily from California and Hood River, stepped up for the eight race series sailed over three days in winds occasionally pushing over 30 knots. Most of these skippers have at least 10 years experience with their vessel and some nearly 30 years on the stick. They are able to maintain control during downwind runs with boat speeds reaching nearly 20 knots. The foredeck is commonly handled by women. Lifeline are not required and rarely seen. Crew weight is 825 pounds and most boats carry four crew, though somedays five diminutive sailors fill the bill. Boats and crews are weighed in and sails are carefully measured. Really all you need in the Gorge is a #3 jib, but you’re allowed three headsails for some reason. There are two spinnakers on board, the one

you are using and a backup in case that one becomes rigging tinsel. The deck layouts have been modified to the point the crew just uses two cabin top winches and cross sheeting and underdeck purchases are common. The skipper trims the main and backstay, the trimmer handles the sheets, the pit is responsible for the halyards and the foredeck lady must be able to gybe the pole without losing her balance as the vessel leaps from one wave to another something like a Boston Whaler. Assuming it all goes as planned, it’s really something to watch. When it doesn’t go as planned well that's something to watch too and usually begins with a skippers request to blow the vang followed by a call for the spare pole carried below to brought up to replace the pretzelized current one and a chance to watch the competition surf by. All this knowledge was in my head as I stepped on the scale two weeks before the regatta and remembered that I told the skipper last spring I could make a weight 17 lbs lighter than my current payload. When boats heel they go sideways and go slow upwind, if you carry the Husky linebacker crew on your weather rail on a windy race you have a distinct advantage. Sure they will put a dent in your sandwich supply, but your upwind performance will be unconquerable. In the Moore 24 fleet, if the crew tips the scale over 825 pounds, you get sent home and September 2018

somehow us large folks are accused of being responsible for these results. The first race was probably our best performance and even though we got aced out at the finish, there was a strange vibe rattling the BBQ mounted on the stern pushpit. The Moore fleet is a little different, well maybe a lot different. At least two boats were carrying two generations of family’s aboard, stereos on, at least on our vessel during the race, and nary a protest was heard. Heck, nobody even pulled a flag, that’s right, a National Championship with no seagoing lawyers. Well, we were second after the first day of racing. By Sunday, we were holding a lead. Again thinking about when I visited in the 1980s, were the hours of darkness longer back then or how the heck were we able to shut down the local watering holes in the wee hours o’ the morning and then raise hell on the river the next day? In this case, by the time the Seahawks pre season game was at halftime we were fading fast and not a single one of us was vertical for the post game show. Saturday was what we came for and every kiteboarder this side of the Rockies was in attendance along with drones, river barges, a few classic windsurfers, SUPs, Hawaiian style voyaging canoes, kayakers, and at least half a dozen other classes of watercraft I’m forgetting.

The start was more busy than usual, it resulted in everyone coming back for a general recall. We had a better-than-usual hoist and were immediately on a plane, no, not just surfing, actually planning downwind. As trimmer, I just watch the edge of the spinnaker as colors of other kites appear in and out off my peripheral vision. On occasion there are some things a guy has just gotta see. I steal a quick glance to watch as a competitor caught a wave wrong and paid the price having a “yard sale” as sails and beverage containers were scattered across the river. The rules allow a pump on the sheet to catch a wave and it’s sorta interesting as the adrenaline courses through my body under a tousle of grey hair, my muscles never feel the same on the front of a wave as they do the next morning. The thing that makes one feel a little better is a five point lead entering the final day of the regatta. Of course as luck would have it by the time the horn sounded for the final race, our lead was diminished to two points. Yes, you could say things were tense as we rounded the first weather mark

fairly deep and decided to throw a few gybes at our nefarious competitor to see if he would take the bait. The nice thing is we could choose the time and the place to gybe and he pretty much kept a loose cover, but we made up some ground. On the second beat it was game on and at the last crossing he tried the classic “slam dunk” maneuver, but we wriggled off to leeward with speed and rounded the last weather mark with a three-boat length lead. With a downwind finish

Sloop Tavern YC Down The Sound Race I’ve always had the itch to do single-handed racing and this year ’s Down the Sound Race to Gig Harbor was a great way to start. The race is part of the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s Triple Sound Series of short-handed distance races. Of the 33 boats that raced in this event, three were raced single-handed (including two J/80s) while the rest were double-handed. Before the race, I thought singlehanded racing was like learning how dead reckoning works in a world of GPS receivers and navigation apps, something every sailor should do once and never again. The race turned out to be so much fun for me that I’ll be adding it to my race calendar next year. The clear skies and sunny weather made the weekend enjoyable for both single-handed and double-handed boats alike, and the light breeze was forgiving enough for first-time singlehanders like me to figure out how best to tack and gybe the boat solo. There were more than a few wind holes, most notably around Blake Island and Point Vashon on Saturday and in the northern half of Colvos Passage on Sunday, which made the race challenging tactically, but also allowed crews to enjoy the beautiful scenery. On Sunday, racers had expected a beat back to Shilshole this year, a modest southerly on Sunday morning allowed boats to fly their spinnakers till around Sandford Point. For sure, much of the joy of sailing comes from being with friends out on the water. The joy of single-handed sailing for me, came from the endorphin high I felt on Monday (I got a good workout from doing all the driving plus trimming, tacking, gybing, hoisting, dousing, furling and flaking of sails); from gaining a deeper knowledge of my boat; and from a sense of personal achievement in completing my first solo race. Introverted racing does have its downsides too: no one to fetch the sunscreen lotion you left in a bag way up in the v-berth, and no one to highfive when you pass other boats. On the bright side, there’s also no one to complain about your choice of music. by Lek Dimarucot results on page 60

Northwest Father-Son Team Wins Hobie Championship For four days in August, 16 teams battled on Huntington Lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains, east of Fresno, for the right to be named Hobie 18 North American Champions for 2018. The squirrely winds tested the mettle and patience of all of the sailors. In the end Pacific Northwest sailors dominated, taking the top four spots and six of the top eight.

The top two teams consisted of family teams, showing that a combination of youthful energy along with some old fashioned wisdom can make for a winning combination. Will Nelson, at 21 years old, became one of the youngest sailors to ever win a Hobie 18 North American Championship. Will was ably assisted by his father, Peter, a Hobie 16 veteran of several decades. They had less than a week to prepare their borrowed boat for the event, the skipper (Will) had never sailed an 18 before, and the two never having sailed together as a team before, Will and Peter were not expected to contend for the www.48North.com

championship. Sometimes things work out differently than expected! John Hoag, sailing with his daughter, Jennifer, and also a newbie to the 18 was a very close second. In fact, were it not for a few shifts on the last day of racing the results may have been switched. Three-time defending champion Ken Marshack, sailing with Val Pioszak, was finally unseated and had to settle for third. The most heart wrenching story of the regatta belonged to the team of Ethan Salkind & Laura Sullivan who clearly had the fastest boat out there. But a couple of bad races pushed them to 4th. Huntington Lake is a long, s k i n n y, high mountain lake with dependable, if not shifty/puffy conditions. Each of the 15 races required 7-8 tacks/ gybes per leg -- something the Hobie catamarans are not typically used to. This forced multiple, high speed crossing situations, and some very intense racing. The Pacific Northwest will host the Hobie 16 North American Championships in September 2019 at Harrison Hot Springs, BC, in advance of the Hobie 16 Worlds being held in Ft. Myers, Florida in November, 2019. by Peter Nelson photos by Rafi results on page 60 53

Laser Pacific Coast Championship

eventy-eight Lasers turned out for S the Pacific Coast Championships, August 3-5 in Cascade Locks, Oregon.

Competitors who came from as far away as Annapolis, Chicago, Houston, Fort Lauderdale, and Sydney, Australia, to experience the legendary sailing conditions of the Columbia River Gorge were not disappointed: the Gorge, and host club Columbia Gorge Racing Association, delivered three days of bright sunshine, warm hospitality, excellent racing, and, of course, epic breeze. The action kicked off Friday with winds bumping up to 20+ knots in the early going before mellowing back down to mid-teens for the final race. PRO Mark Townsend cracked off three champagne races for all fleets and we were back on the beach drinking beer

and sharing lies by 3:30 pm. The first day leaderboard showed John Owen from Victoria, BC, narrowly leading the 15-boat full rig fleet, Caleb Yoslov from San Francisco atop the 52boat radial fleet, and Seattle’s Abby Carlson dominating the 11boat 4.7 fleet with a 1-2-1 score line. Day 2 started in modest breeze before soaring into the mid20s for an afternoon of yee-hah Gorge Laser sailing. After four more races and one discard, Ian Elliott had reeled in John Owen in the big rigs to take a

one-point lead over his Royal Vic YC teammate and equal points for first with Ali Fuat Yuvali of Santa Cruz. Cameron Feves from Cabrillo Beach YC scored two bullets to leap to the head of the radial fleet, and Abby Carlson finished the day undefeated to extend her lead in the 4.7s. A tired but happy gang of Laser sailors retreated to the park for a feast of BBQ pork and chicken, plus assorted salads, desserts, cold beverages and other well-earned carbohydrates. Sunday dawned hot and placid, but after an hour of postponement ripples started to appear downriver, and the sailors headed out to the course in a 10-knot westerly. PRO Townsend managed to reel off two good races in the lighter air, which saw a fair bit of churning in the finish

order. Nevertheless, the leaders hung on to the podium positions, with Ian Elliott prevailing over John Owen and Ali Fuat Yuvali in the full rigs, Caleb Yoslov climbing back to first ahead of Cameron Feves and Seattle’s Talia Toland in the radials, and Abby Carlson gliding to the finish in front of Portland sailors Casey Pickett and Conrad Miller in the 4.7 fleet. A great big thank you to Mark and Robin Townsend for the superb race management, to Craig Daniels and his expert judging team, to CGRA’s Susan Winner for her masterful orchestration of the shore side and social functions, and to everyone on the CGRA volunteer team for once again delivering a very memorable Gorge sailing experience. by Bill Symes photos by Maria Swearingin results on page 59

Columbia Gorge Racing Association

C olu mbia G orge O ne D esign If you sail small boats in the PNW, you owe yourself a trip to Cascade Locks, Oregon, to sail in one of the many excellent events Columbia Gorge Racing Association (CGRA) puts on. Consistent, ideal wind on warm freshwater in a cute town with an onsite brewery – need I say more? Columbia Gorge One Design (CGOD) spoken as “Sea God’s” by event veterans was July 27-29. Lasers, RS Aero’s, Tasars, Wetas and Melges 24s sailed this year ’s event and it was the Pacific Coast Championships for the RS Aero class who sailed Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All the other fleets sailed Saturday and Sunday. For the RS Aeros, Friday started out in typical Gorge conditions of mid 90s air temp, mid 70s water temp, and a west wind of about 15 knots. The wind quickly built and stabilized in the 18-22 range for the balance of the day. In the Gorge, we typically sail upwind with the current and downwind against, setting up a course that favors downwind speed

and keeps the power hiking a bit shorter. Dalton Bergan wasted no time showing us all he is significantly faster off the wind in the RS Aero than the rest of us. I did my best to keep him honest by getting to the weather mark ahead of him about half the time, but had no answers for his downwind speed. Todd Willsie kept the pressure on me always close and ready to strike if I missed a shift. Conditions on Saturday were a repeat of Friday and the other classes joined the fun out on the water. In the Laser Class Brett Beyer won every race, but Bill Symes, Talia Toland and Andrew Holdsworth stayed close. Mike Karas and Molly Jackson dominated scores for the day in the Tasars after a close battle with Jay and Lisa Renehan. The Melges 24s sailed on their own course where Kevin Welch took straight bullets. Dalton continued his run of bullets in the RS Aero. Sunday was hotter than normal and with the temperature gradient

between Portland and The Dalles reduced to basically nothing.We had a short shore side postponement before a steady 10 knot westerly filled in. Time for the lighter sailors to show their stuff. In the Aero, Andy Mack showed up for just Sunday and was impressive, Dalton still dominated but other names moved up the fishing order. Owen Patterson in his Laser must have liked the conditions as he won three races but the consistency of Bill Symes paid off for him to win the Laser Class. In the Tasar class the Renehan’s mixed it up with Karas/ Jackson and Jen Glass and Abby Swann also won a race. But Karas/ Jackson easily held on to take class honors. Kevin Welch and his crew continued their winning ways to score all bullets until electing to not sail the last race in the Melges. I am already looking forward to our next trip. by Derek Bottles results on page 59

he San Juan Island Yacht Club T hosts the Shaw Island Classic each August. Island boats of all sorts and

some visiting racers come out of the woodwork to test that same yearly question: which way should we go? Never have all the boats agreed, and you never know until the very end which way was the money. You meet on the back side of Shaw Island and hope to be ahead! You round the far corner and hope that nobody is in sight coming from the other direction! This year, counter clockwise was the popular choice with only a handful going the other way. However, in that handful was a race legend. Wally Lum has done that race since before it was even invented, so you just never know! Going CCW we had a good 5-10 knot fetch to the corner of Shaw from the start, and then a pretty uneventful run around the backside. Sure there was a giant ferry that drove straight through the fleet, but other than that… By the time we reached Blind Bay it was uphill back to the barn. Wasp Pass was on good behavior this year! Just a fetch again to the finish and no clockwise boats in sight. Easy peasy! Rum Line, Hamachi and Madrona

were closing in on the finish, but starting to slow down. We should have processed that information instead of just embracing the joy of catching up! Justin Wolfe of Shearwater said it best, “the treadmill was turned up to 11 approaching Friday Harbor.” Oh boy, many boats including my own fell straight into it. Some sailors learned from our mistake and found a path, and some sailed through only to get spun back! There was plenty of breeze and still plenty of boats just getting further from the finish. And

then, there they were! Those clockwise boats came around the corner with the tide in their favor. Eventually, nearly all of us made it through. All in the good fun that is the Classic. Top spot in the Multihulls and once again Overall went to the Colwell’s in their F-18 Rum Line. There was just one intrepid centerboard boat, with congratulations to Ray Pingree in the Shilelagh. The Cruising divisions were won by Jack McKenna in Sleeper and Bill and Darlene Stange in the Hula. Winning the fast boat class of PHRF A was Dalton Bergan and the crew of Madrona. PHRF B went to Michael Durland in the 6 Meter Challenge. The little boat fleets went to Orcas Island sailors. Chris White won PHRF C and second Overall sailing single handed in his Martin 242 Crazy I’s. Vaughn Ploeger and the Rosers’ won PHRF D in the Merit 25 Paradigm Shift.

Northern Century

orthern Century continues to stand alone as the only PNW distance race that starts at night, and that is among my favorite things about the race. You head straight into the islands as the sun is starting to set. If you’re lucky, you get a nice breeze and some tide in your favor, and beautiful pinkish orange skies to send you on your way. This year, we had all of that! The high road toward Guemes Island paid off for quite a while until you needed to cross over to Lummi Island when the stars came out. I overheard someone say that you could do the race 30 times and never figure it out. Indeed! Each year I learn a new lesson. Some lessons are painful and memorable enough to be learned the first time. In other cases, you are out there stuck and you think “oh yah, I’ve seen this before…” In any case, Sinclair Island is to be avoided at all costs. I know that Adam Yuret on the Banana Stand was facetiously enthralled with Sinclair when he posted that the location was so compelling that he decided to spend the whole first night there! Further up on the course, it’s best to stay out of the bay at the north end of Lummi Island until the light of day. Just ask Commodore Walt and the Sunshine Girl crew! There are nets large enough to catch a J/35! Anyhow, the night sky was clear and starry this year, despite the smoke at lower levels! With a half moon and sky of stars to steer by and meteors above us, the night went quickly. We had our personal fastest trip north, and arrived at Point Roberts before the light of day!

First around the first mark was Lars Standberg’s F-boat Big Broderna at about 2:00am. Next up were the Aerodynes, Freja and Kahuna rounded a bit later after Big Bro flew down the course to the half way point. The first five boats continued on the traditional course around Turn Point and the outside of San Juan Island and Bat Out Of Hell (BOOH) made it clear that they were going for the inside. Shearwater followed BOOH but looked like they were going to go through by Roche Harbor for quite a while. Before we knew what happened, we were stuck with Shannon Buys’ Vertigo in the mother of all tide rips! There is the lesson that took twice to learn. Gnarly tide rips near South Pender in Boundary Pass should be avoided if at all possible. It didn’t take long for Ward Navaiux and crew on Blade Runner to decide that San Juan Channel looked a lot better than the tide trap. Once they hit the shore on Waldron, all we saw were tail lights fading in the distance. After we escaped with Vertigo, we chased each other and the trail of bread crumbs left by Blade Runner down past Friday Harbor and out Cattle Pass. We’ve never gone that way! Lots of boats and several friends were hanging out on the inside. We ducked around Yellow Island near Wasp Pass, received a gift of ice cream near Turn Island, then headed for Hein Bank. It felt like a big gain in there, but even if not I’ll say that it’s the more fun way to go! The big boats had a great battle around the outside to Hein Bank. Lead monohull Freja sailed toward Sidney September 2018

Island with Hamachi close by. Kahuna favored San Juan Island. Meanwhile, BOOH was laterally straight across the island on the inside and multihull Big Bro was completely launched in the distance. By the time they reached Cattle Point, Blade Runner had nearly caught BOOH. Hamachi took over the lead in the monohulls and everyone was pointed straight for Hein Bank. Big Broderna rounded first, followed by BOOH, Hamachi and the rest of the lead pack. Coming into the finish, it shoulda coulda woulda been Big Bro for the Barn Door award. However, Lawn Dart, Hamachi, Kahuna and Freja were neck and neck in the neighborhood. First across was Kahuna! Next in line were Lawn Dart, Hamachi, BOOH and a near tie between Freja and Big Bro. Overall corrected went to Santa Cruz 27, Blade Runner, by a landslide! Congratulations, guys and girls on board! Rookie of the year with the best performance of a first time racer went to BOOH. The Endurance Award went to Wild Rumpus, who finished last at 11:00 on Saturday night. Winning the Double Handed 100 were Justin and Christine Wolfe on Shearwater. Winning the Fully Crewed 100 was John Leitzinger ’s Kahuna. Division 2 on the DH100 did not have enough time, speed, and racetrack to finish the long course, but were finished on the short course. Congratulations to Clint Tseng and crew on the Moore 24, Amorillo. 50 Mile Racers had their own course, up around Alden Bank and back any way you want. Off the start and up the first leg, Sunshine Girl, Light Cure, Hravn and Peace Keeper were in the mix with the long course racers! Hravn rounded first, followed by Juquehy and Peace Keeper. Hravn finished in fine form and won the race overall. Sunshine Girl took a sneaky route back through Bellingham Channel and finished second. Most others slid through the finish behind them at some point that night! Thanks to volunteers and participants for another great one! Lock away everything you learned this year in a quiet corner of your brain! Save it for next time! story and photo by Stephanie Schwenk results on page 60

quality yachts from swiftsureyachts.com Polar Express Nauticat 39 2003 • $295,000

Polar Express is a wonderful Nauticat 39. Built for comfortable yet performance oriented cruising, this is a ready-to-go yacht that will get out on the water quickly. With the famous Nauticat pilothouse, this is an well executed vessel, a true three-cabin, two-head layout, with the ability to be away from the dock for weeks at a time. Polar Express is a special boat. She has a deeper draft bulbed keel, a standard helm outside and an inside helm station that gives you the ability to get out of the weather and drive from below when needed. She is extremely liveable with a watermaker, 4KW genset, washer dryer, inverter, Iverson dodger/bimini, newer electronics and much more. This is a special Nauticat 39 with many design upgrades done at the yard. She has been well cared for and preserved showing pride of ownership. – brad baker

ODYSSEY

490

A new vision of life onboard

Designed by Philippe Briand in conjunction with Jean-Marc Piaton, the Sun Odyssey 490 becomes the second model to join the new generation of the Sun Odyssey range. Like her sister the Sun Odyssey 440, the Sun Odyssey 490 features the same innovative concepts that have redefined the modern cruising boat such as walk-around decks, full chine “scow bow” hull, twin rudders, and a clever contemporary interior.
