Editor’s Notebook

by Molly Winans

Adventure in Amsterdam

H

ave you ever had that dream in which you are speaking in front of a group of people, and they ignore you? How about the one in which you realize you’re naked? Both came to mind November 17 when I spoke at the International Sailing Summit (ISS) in Amsterdam.

One day in the fall of 2013, I planted the seed for the trip by tapping a bit too enthusiastically on my keyboard — the equivalent of opening my big mouth. ISS founder Alistair Murray (who is also the managing director of Ronstan) sent a group email to elicit feedback from the 2013 event I’d attended in San Francisco, CA. My response email said something like, “If we’re going to talk about diversity at conferences, we should invite someone other than white guys to speak.”

Alistair congratulated me on being the first to volunteer to speak at the next event. I laughed, thanked him, and went back to the business of editing SpinSheet. I forgot about it for a couple of months. Alistair didn’t forget. With his nudging from Australia, my email comments blossomed into a proposal, an invitation, and a wild ride that led me to the front of a conference room in the Netherlands.

Back to the nightmare. In my talk, I attempted to sustain the analogy that inviting more diverse customers to sailing is like eating kale: We know it’s good for us, but it seems like an unruly project. We’re not sure where to start, how to prepare it so that it doesn’t taste terrible. Maybe this isn’t my best analogy, I thought when the audience did not laugh at my first joke. Or my second one.

Suddenly, I found myself dry-mouthed, jet-lagged, chilled, yet perspiring, in front 14 January 2015 SpinSheet

of 100 (mostly white male) sailors who looked tired and bored. A video camera live-streaming this mess pointed at my face. Anxiety gripped my throat as I spoke awkwardly, tremulously, into the microphone, with the Power Point clicker in my shaky hand. This is a disaster, I thought, but plodded on. What else could I do?

My talk was about breaking stereotypes in sailing advertisements, images, and messages; how choosing different images (such as women or people of color at the helm) and welcoming words (such as “all are welcome” and “open to the public”) would make our sport more inviting to all. I believe this. I work on it daily. Yet, it came out jumbled. The audience seemed half dead. Oh, how relieved I was when my half hour time slot ended.

Miracles do happen. Once I sat down and gulped a glass of water, the next speaker mentioned my ideas. Then another one referenced one of my points.

By lunchtime, attendees followed me down the hallway with their business cards and thanked me. A few said my talk was “brilliant” (there were a lot of Brits there). Brilliant? Not sleep-inducing? They listened to me. I was stunned.

What a day! I met a 64-year old Australian who fanatically sails his foiling Laser; an Irish couple who run a Dublin community sailing program; the PR professional for British Sailing who’s a passionate dinghy racer, as are her husband and children; an Omani woman who runs a women’s racing program; a Frenchman who plans a windsurfing distance race along an unpopulated beach in southern France, with up to 1000 competitors; Iain Percy, the British, two-time Olympic gold medalist in sailing; and Hilary Lister, a quadriplegic sailor and the first to sail solo around Britain (using a sip and puff straw system), among other fascinating sailors.

What started as a bad dream turned into a wonderful day — two days, really, as the next day I visited METS, the world’s largest marine equipment trade show, and met more interesting sailors.

A few ISS participants I bumped into at the show said they would remember me the next time they ate kale.

Three important lessons from my Amsterdam adventure: One, if you speak your truth, however awkwardly, it may resonate with someone. Two, when 80 percent of the audience is British, they may not laugh or show any emotion.

Three, people around the world love sailing as much as we do on the Bay. They share our passions, concerns about diversity or the lack thereof, and desire to invite new people into sailing.

If you have thoughts about making sailing a more diverse sport and/or pictures of or stories about diverse sailors on the water, please email me at molly@ spinsheet.com. Speak your truth. I’ll listen.

SpinSheet Readers Write To Catch a Big Rock

A

bout 19 years ago, we caught a 45-inch rockfish aboard Full Moon. It was not until December 14, 2013, that we eclipsed that record with a 47-incher. I only managed to get out fishing four times this year: the Boatyard Opening Day Tournament, Fish 4 A Cure, Eastport YC’s the Norm, and yesterday. We did okay on the first two, nothing special, and got skunked in The Norm. But yesterday, on December 14, we managed to catch a nice, seasonending 45-inch rockfish.

Our Alabama Friends

W

e (My wife Debbie and I, both sailors) make several round trips per year to Cape Cod from Alabama, and we always pick up a copy of SpinSheet at the Maryland Welcome Center on route 301 (Sometimes at the Crain Memorial Park, sometimes at the route 834/301 rest stop); but this is the first time we linked onto your website. The stories are what kept our interest in your magazine; we read almost every one of them. Now some of those stories have come to life with your selection of videos. We especially liked the Danny MacAskill on the Isle of Skye. A little diversion from the sailing scene but the excitement was well worth it.

That’s longtime (and long ago) EYC lights parade chairman Tim Hause on the left and current EYC race committee chairman Keith Jacobs on the right.

Keith’s first time ever rockfishing was the Norm, and we got skunked. He pulled in this fish yesterday. Now he knows what it’s all about. It was the biggest fish Tim has ever cleaned (but smaller than the deer he usually chases) and the first rock ever for Keith. Who says sailors don’t fish?

The SpinSheet Century Club

B

A Good Year on the Bay

eginning in mid-November, my email inbox started to swim in correspondence from around the world as SpinSheet Century Club members checked in with their logs of 100 days on the water. As more and more checked in, the party grew. We now have a date: February 7, in Annapolis, we’ll take a moment out of the cold winter to remember and celebrate the Endless Summer.

“Thank you for giving me the incentive to get on the water more often,” many wrote. “This has done wonderful things for me,” said others. “We can’t wait for 2015” wrote a member whose 2014 log listed 131 days of sailing.

Yes, it would be easy to get on the water more if we taught sailing, or worked in the industry (the whole SpinSheet office laughs heartily at that one). It would be easier to get on the water more if we had a boat that didn’t need so much maintenance. If the boat were closer. If work lightened up. If the kids weren’t so involved in

soccer. The excuses abound when you let them.

Strangely enough, it seemed as if the small boat sailors got out on the water the most, which is impressive when you consider having to launch a Laser or Sunfish every time you went sailing. Almost everyone had a day or two of kayak or SUP paddling, and

of foreign travel with the adventure of sailing? They sailed with strangers and family. They taught newbies and learned from old salts. There was nothing they could not, would not do.

So mark your calendars, Century Club members! February 7 we’ll be celebrating the best and most active Bay boaters with a party to remember. We have over 20 sailors, fishermen, boat##Centurion Sean Martin has 144 days on the water as of press time.

At the end of this issue you’ll read of resolutions and goals to get you thinking about even quite a bit of power boating, your own 2015. If you truly commitwhich made me happy.

Bay Laser Sailor in Guinness Book of World Records

G

uinness World Records recently recognized Hampton Roads sailor and father of four boys Robert Suhay for the longest singlehanded distance sailed in a dinghy by a male, for his 283.5 nm voyage around the Chesapeake Bay last summer.

Suhay set out from Hampton Roads last June, planning to sail to the Northern Bay and back home. He made it to Worton Creek, just south of the Sassafras River and was on his way home when the trip was abandoned south of the Potomac River due to the untimely arrival of Hurricane Arthur, one of the earliest hurricanes ever to hit the East Coast. Nevertheless, Suhay considered the trip a success.

mitting affidavits to Guinness Records to verify my course,” he adds.

It took several months and a number of communications before Suhay received the official certificate from Guinness in November. In fact, Suhay didn’t even realize he’d set a record until Magellan staff called to report his mileage and noted that he had sailed further than record holder Tania Calles, who travelled 282.78 miles across the Baja Gulf in a Radical Laser. So they decided, why not apply to have Guinness recognize it? Suhay’s wife Lisa did

much of the paperwork. Magellan verified its files and submitted independent paperwork. And the Coast Guard sent supporting letters and affidavits, too.

Suhay has learned much from his record setting sail and several other long-distance unassisted sails he’s completed. He’s worked out specific systems for nutrition, hydration, rest and relaxation, stretching, and how to carry only essential lightweight equipment. While frostbiting this winter, he’s already dreaming of future long distance sails to challenge himself.

“The real impetus was not about setting a record; it was to see how far I could go,” says Suhay. “I’m not necessarily a fast sailor, but I very much enjoy distance sailing. So, I wanted to challenge myself.” Suhay sailed unassisted for 86 hours and traveled 283.5 nm.

“Although I was a little disappointed that I didn’t make it all the way home, that didn’t negate the positive aspects.

BoatU.S. President Margaret Podlich Receives Award

M

argaret Podlich, president of BoatU.S., and also a Chesapeake Bay sailor, was recently named the 2014 Darlene Briggs Woman of the Year for leadership and commitment to the business of boating, as well as a willingness to volunteer her time and effort in community and social organizations.

Podlich received the award November 19 at the Marine Dealer Conference and Expo Awards Breakfast in Orlando, FL. “To be in the select group of women who have received this award before me, who build, sell, service, and provide homes to the boats that are critical to our half-million members, is very humbling,” says Podlich.

“I hope the industry recognizes that today women play a central and growing role and can offer a valuable perspective when it comes to increasing our customer base.”

In addition to her 20-year career at BoatU.S., Podlich is active with the Recreational Boating Leadership Council and is a member of the American Boat and Yacht Council board of directors. She has also served on the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety and Advisory Council. A lifelong sailor, Podlich raced at Tulane University and has competed in national and international events, including a fourth-place finish in the 2011 Rolex Women’s International Keelboat Regatta. In 2006 she was a member of the three-women Yuengling Team Cronin sailing crew that competed for a place on the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team.

The Darlene Briggs Woman of the Year Award was established in 1987 in honor of Darlene Briggs of Wayzata Marine in Wayzata, MN, who served as the first retail marine saleswoman in Minnesota and the first female member of the Minnesota marine trades association.

The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas and Boating Industry magazine sponsors the award.

Snowbird Report The ARC Caribbean 1500: a Festive Finish

A ##ARC Caribbean 1500 participants enjoying an island tour. Photo by Maria Karlsson

22 January 2015 SpinSheet

RC Caribbean 1500 participants enjoyed a festive atmosphere on the beachside deck at Nanny Cay Marina in Tortola after 36 boatloads of sailors journeyed from Hampton, VA, 1500 miles to the British Virgin Islands. Crews that had been sweaty and salty for nearly two weeks at sea showed up in their shoreside best for the final awards ceremony, with matching crew shirts and tropical island colors. After the crowd gathered round the bar for a quick beer or rum punch, the awards got going in earnest just before 5 p.m., as the sun disappeared behind the hillsides in the west, offering a much needed respite from the brutal afternoon heat.

“Hooray!” shouted the crowd, as just in time, Aviva made her way into the cut and into Nanny Cay Marina with the largest audience of any of the arrivals thus far. “There is indeed something about being one of the last boats to arrive,” says Dorothy of Aviva.

Organizers of the annual rally emphasize the fun and special prizes over the competitive awards: prizes for Best Mustache, Best Logs, Best Fishing Story, Youngest Skipper, and more. Both the “Movember” Mustache Award and the Best Bruise Award required audience participation. Each boat received a custom engraved plaque from Weems & Plath for participating in the rally and was recognized on stage for finishing the event.

“You’re all winners to us!” exclaimed yellowshirt (organizer) Mia Karlsson from the stage while taking photos of each awardwinning crew.

Later in the evening the competitive awards were distributed, with Avanti, Opportunity, and Southern Cross taking home first place for Classes A, B, and Multihulls respectively. Before the night was out, the biggest awards were given, starting with a new perpetual trophy for 2014. Miles Poor, of rally sponsor MRP Refits, described the new Hal Sutphen Seamanship Trophy, which, alongside the Tempest Trophy for Spirit of the Rally, will remain in Nanny Cay. Avanti was called back on the stage to accept the Steve Black Trophy for winning the Overall Cruising Division, correcting ahead of all Class A and B yachts.

Another Successful Salty Dawg Rally

##Where trawlers and sailboats mingle and learn together: the Hampton Snowbird Rendezvous.

he Salty Dawg Rally, which began three years ago as a small group of friends sailing south together in the fall, has grown into a much larger rally, with 67 participating boats in 2014.

The free rally for sailors who have completed at least one bluewater passage was founded by cruising enthusiasts Bill and Linda Knowles of Bristol, RI, with their Jeanneau 54DS Sapphire and their Jack Russell terrier, Brie, the original salty dawg. The rally left Hampton, VA, and other U.S. East Coast ports in early November, headed for the British Virgin Islands and other ports in the Caribbean, and will return to the participants’ various home ports in the spring.

he Hampton Snowbird Rendezvous was incredible!” says chair Charlene Clark. “We had 41 sailboats and trawlers participate from throughout the East Coast, Canada, the Mid-West, Louisiana, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (October 16-19). Feedback was extremely positive … I truly believe that the success in this event and what makes it so unique, is the personalized experience that we are able to provide our attendees. Not only are our speakers knowledgeable and among the most notable in the industry, but our venues are also intimate and provide a comfortable setting for sharing experiences and ideas and for making new cruising friends.” Learn more at hamptonrendezvous.com

Warriors on the Water

erry Nelson has a soft spot in her heart for wounded warriors.

But then, who wouldn’t?

The Inn at Osprey Point in Rock Hall, MD, recently sponsored 10 wounded warrior families from the Wounded Warrior Project for a weekend of lodging, meals, and activities. Nelson, the Innkeeper and Chris Messina, Inn Proprietor, both were excited about offering the heroes and their families a chance to experience sailing as part of the program.

“This program means so much to Terry,” said Messina as we met in the Inn office. “She organizes everything and helps fund much of the extracurricular activities by selling her pumpkin rolls, which are dangerously addictive.”

24 January 2015 SpinSheet

The sailing was held aboard the donated Catalina 40 Rum Bob owned

by Bob McFarland. The warriors and their families were wise to bundle up for an unseasonably chilly November day on the water. Brandi Hall, the Wounded Warrior Project regional coordinator, herds the cats — and even one warrior’s service dog — and makes all the logistics happen. One warrior, she shared with us, hadn’t ventured outside for close to a year and chose the weekend activity as his reintroduction to the world. His smile could be seen all the way to Annapolis.

The crew consisted entirely of Army veterans, so my Navy Sailing hat drew some interesting stares and a few lighthearted comments. “Hey,” I

said. “We’re on the water. Would you feel better if it said Army Sailing?” The Army vets must have had salt water in their veins though, because they all had a good feel for the boat and the wind.

Hall, Messina, and Nelson were excited about holding the event next year, hopefully in a little warmer weather. The Warriors beamed as they came ashore. As they departed, I could not help but think about and be grateful for the many freedoms we enjoy because of them and other service women and men who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

It was fun to crew for them, and next year’s event can’t come soon enough. woundedwarrior.org spinsheet.com

Meet Steve Young,

New Sailor Turned Avid Racer

Tell us about how you got into sailing.

Having grown up on the lakes in northern Minnesota, I had powerboating experience, but I had never had the opportunity to sail. In the summer of 2013, I was 41 years old and living in Baltimore. I saw that the Baltimore Social League (BSL) offered sailing and no experience was needed, so I signed up.

After my first day of racing, I was hooked. I joined the Downtown Sailing Center (DSC) for racing, recreational sailing, and some weekend cruises. I’ve found that I really enjoy the teamwork, focus, problem solving, and improvising required for racing.

What has been your sailing experience thus far and what are your future plans?

In 2014, I became a J/22 skipper and raced at DSC on Thursdays. Wednes-

days and Fridays I raced on a J/105 in Annapolis, and on Tuesdays I crewed on a Baltic 35 at the Baltimore City Yacht Association. In addition, I did weekend regattas whenever I could. With other new sailors from BSL, I formed a DSC J/22 race team. Sailing nearly every day during the summer of 2014, I logged more than 86 days. I had hoped to make it into SpinSheet’s Century Club, but I was just a little shy of 100 days on the water.

In the near future, my plans include a charter in the British Virgin Islands with the group that formed the DSC race team. Long term, I’d like to do an offshore distance race, such as the Annapolis to Newport Race.

Did you take any formal classes?

Yes. I did the basic keelboat challenge course and a basic cruising course at the DSC. In Annapolis, I took courses on coastal navigation and celestial navigation. I’ve

##Steve Young began sailing in 2013 at age 41. He oft en races in Baltimore Harbor wit h the Downtown Sailing Cen ter.

also taken a racing strategy and tactics course, which I’d like to take again, now that I have more experience.

Did you have any preconceived notions about sailing that proved true or untrue?

For me, the learning curve was not as steep as I thought it would be.

Because of my experience as an Aeroscout Observer in the 82nd Airborne Division, I was able to translate a lot of my aviation skills into sailing. I don’t want to give the impression that sailing is easy; if you ever stop learning, you should probably stop sailing. But getting started wasn’t as intimidating as I had imagined.

If someone were interested in learning to sail, what would you tell them?

Go! Now! What are you waiting for? All you need is the desire to try. I wish I’d started years earlier.

Many of us have heard the tale of former Maryland State Senator Bernie Fowler, who once stood chest deep in the Patuxent and was able to see his feet on the river bottom. His ensuing “Sneaker Index” has occurred year after year since 1988, as Fowler leads public “wade-ins” to see at what point his sneakers disappear (this past year, it was 23.0 inches).

On June 16, 2014, with input incorporated from citizens, stakeholders, academic institutions, and state and local governments, the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement was signed by responsible parties across the entire watershed.

The agreement established 10 goals

In 2009, the Chesapeake Bay Program led an initiative to speed up the restoration of the Bay and to ensure that environmental goals on creating a healthy Bay were mapped across all responsible parties. The focus of the initiative was to create a goal-oriented document to address the Bay’s

and 31 associated outcomes to restore the Bay, its tributaries, and the surrounding watershed land. For the first time, the Bay’s headwater states committed to full partnership in a Bay program.

Highlights on the Watershed The Chesapeake Bay Program publishes three electronic newsletters: a daily newsletter that highlights headlines about the Bay; a weekly newsletter that highlights information meant for restoration, conservation and stewardship professionals; and a monthly newsletter that highlights Bay Programproduced news and feature stories about the health and restoration of the nation’s largest estuary.

The goals are complementary to each other; for instance, the goal of water quality can lead to healthier fish and shellfish; the goal of conservation of land can lead to more habitats for wildlife.

The Watershed Agreement takes a team-based approach to improving Bay health. Following the adoption of the Agreement, Goal Implementation Teams, or “GITs” were established. Each GIT is composed of experts related to the field at hand, and each GIT is responsible — within one year — to develop management strategies to

For example, the Sustainable Fisheries GIT is composed of the state fisheries managers from around the Bay, and is chaired by the director of the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office.

The team is charged with improving the management and recovery of

oysters, blue crab, menhaden, striped bass, and alosines. The Habitat GIT seeks to help restore and enhance a network of land and water habitats, to include tidal and non-tidal wetlands, living shorelines, submerged aquatic vegetation, islands, uplands and forests and freshwater streams.

Dave DuVall

On Call Since the Dawn

I

n his wryer moments, Dave DuVall likes to tell people that he’s been in the towing assistance business almost since its dawn. In his case, it’s true. Nationally, the industry didn’t come into being until 1983. DuVall became a towboat captain in 1984, and he’s been with SeaTow, the nationwide recreational boat towing company, since 1986.

If that doesn’t quite qualify DuVall as the dean of all towboat skippers in the northern Chesapeake Bay area, it certainly has made him one of the best-known. DuVall’s blond-topped, mustachioed visage pops up as soon as you call up the SeaTow website. He’s widely recognized around Annapolis as a boating club speaker and community booster. Moreover, he still takes every opportunity he can to get out on the water.

“I’m never bored,” says DuVall, who just turned 63. “Bored is something I don’t get.”

Like many others who operate towing assistance companies, DuVall got into the business because he likes to be out on the water. An avid fisherman and a scuba diver since his teens, DuVall learned boathandling as a youngster in Chestertown, MD, and started working on the water — crabbing, fishing, and clamming — at age 12.

After a one-year stint at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, where he earned a diving certification, DuVall worked as a civilian diver for 16 years, repairing bridges and assembling pipelines. Later, eager to get back on the water’s surface, he got a job as service manager for a local marina and began looking around for other opportunities.

That was when the towing assistance industry was born. Until 1983, the Coast Guard had routinely towed in recreational boats that had run out Follow us!

of fuel or encountered engine trouble. A presidential reform commission suggested that the service could save lots of money and thousands of work hours if the task were turned over to the private sector.

Later that year, Congress did just that, barring the Coast Guard from doing routine tows and paving the way for private companies to take over the job, sort of like the AAA, but for pleasure boats.

Private towing assistance firms sprang up and needed captains. DuVall signed on with SeaTow in 1986. The rest is history.

DuVall now oversees a flotilla of four towboats for his Northern Chesapeake region — a 25-foot Sea Hawk, a 27-foot Boston Whaler, two 29-foot Sea Hawks, and a 32-foot Twin Vee catamaran — all painted yellow with the familiar black SeaTow logo and diagonal stripes. He employs four other captains, three of them part-time.

Like most towboat captains, DuVall is on call 24 hours a day and is especially busy on weekends.

At other times, he starts his day at 8:30 a.m. and spends several hours completing his logbook, catching up on his e-mail, making phone calls, and handling invoices. In the afternoon, he works on repairing or maintaining his boats.

Having done the job for almost 30 years has given DuVall a logbook’s worth of adventures and a collection of funny anecdotes. One late-night boater told DuVall that SeaTow would be able to locate the vessel easily because, “I’m sitting here right in the moonbeam.” Another, who got up on his bow to take the towline that SeaTow had thrown him, worried

that he didn’t think he’d be able to stand there and hold it “all the way back” to Annapolis.

DuVall still loves being out on the water and around the Annapolis boating community, and he says he’s feeling a strain from what he calls the increasing burden of federal and state regulations, from VHF-FM base-station fees to tougher environmental rules and hefty fines.

Even so, DuVall asserts the public’s perception of the towing-assistance industry has improved over the years, particularly since the 1980s, when the industry — and he — got started. “Back then, everybody in this business was viewed as a pirate, but there’s been a complete turnaround in attitude. Now people wave to us,” he says. That’s not a bad measure for someone who has been in the business almost since its dawn. # About the author: Art Pine is a USCGlicensed captain and a longtime sailor and powerboater on the Chesapeake Bay.

The Spoils of Mud: Poplar Island Rises Again

by Steve Allan

I

A win for the environment and commerce

t used to be that anything good for commerce always came at the expense of the natural environment or public opinion.

Poplar Island, rising out of the shallows hard by Tilghman Island on Maryland’s Eastern Shore with Bay channel dredge material, is emerging as a clear win for all and gaining global recognition as an international model of doing it right.

Competing interests

Other factors, such as convenient truck and rail access and adequate shoreside infrastructure play into it, but simply put, the Maryland Port Administration needs to keep shipping channels dredged

The Port of Baltimore is enjoying unprecedented resurgence, and business is booming with record numbers, ranking in 2013 14th in volume and ninth in value and first in RO/RO (roll on/roll off) of cars, light trucks, and machinery. Officials are confident that the port will be ready for deep-draft, post-Panamax ships that will start to arrive after the expanded Panama Canal opens in 2016. New cranes are in place and operational. Rail investments ashore are in the works, and a new ship pier just opened in Fairfield to handle yet ##A finished “cell” in the upland area of Poplar Island. more RO/RO cargo.

Dredge material has to be put somewhere. In the old days, it was merely dumped beside the new channel, much as you do when shoveling snow from a sidewalk. As technology improved, the dredge was deposited in underwater spoil areas throughout the Bay, a process called open water placement.

Some of these are still found on the charts as Discontinued Spoil Areas.

You wonder about some of the more colorfully noted underwater features on fishing charts such as Dolly’s Lumps. The term “spoil,” by the way, is abhorred by the dredge industry, favoring the less toxic (pun intended) “dredge material” label instead.

Dredging is a constant priority for the Port and has been since Maryland’s beginnings. About 130 miles of numerous navigation channels require it, and in recent memory, much of it went to Hart Miller Island, that low, brush-cut-shaped shelf of land around the corner from the Patapsco River on the western shore above Baltimore. spinsheet.com

BENETEAU SAIL | LAGOON CATAMARANS | BROKERAGE What happened with Hart Miller starting in 1970 directly relates to Poplar Island today. The Port Authority didn’t think it necessary to seek public input for the project until late in the process, just when it was time to issue permits. Public opinion from nearby residential southeastern Baltimore County wasn’t kindly in favor, and suspicions about the origin and toxicity of some of the dredge material only served to heighten opposition.

As a result, the project dragged on for years in the courts and the Legislature.

The costs associated with building the island grew ever higher with each delay and subsequent mitigation order. This was the Waterloo moment for public distaste for large and intrusive government projects, much like the expressway battles being fought in Baltimore around the same time. The last barge of dredge arrived at Hart Miller in 2009. The Port Administration was left to lick its wounds, mend fences with an angry public, and find better ways of planning and means of communication if it ever hoped to be successful at finding new sites for dredge material in the future.

Back to the future

Fast forward to 2014, and Poplar, 16 miles south of Sandy Point State Park, accepts nothing but “clean” dredge, meaning material coming from the Baltimore approach channel from a point beyond the Patapsco River outside the Key Bridge down to the Bay Bridge. The decision to go with Poplar was driven by the state Legislature’s prohibition on creating new islands in the Bay. Since Poplar had been losing land to erosion for decades, a goal was set early on to return it to its 1847 surveyed size of 1100 acres. Discovered and settled in 1627 by William Claiborne, Copley’s Island (as it Follow us!

was originally called) flourished throughout the colonial period, and in recent times, was a hunting ground frequented

by President Roosevelt, who came ashore via an abandoned ramp on nearby Jefferson Island. A black cat farm, whose coats were prized in China, fizzled when during a hard winter freeze, the cats escaped by walking across the ice to the Talbot County mainland. A town called Valliant emerged, but by the 1880s the

##Signboard listing all the project partners.

##Megan Garrett, tour coordinator of the Maryland Environmental Service talks about the project.

destructive pressures of settlement and agriculture sped up the erosion process.

No trace of Valliant remains.

By 1993 Poplar had sunk to only five acres and split into four islands. What happened next changed everything. The port had set to work developing the Dredged Material Master Plan, a 20year effort that identified 475 potential dredge deposit sites, but this time a public process was set up before any decisions were made that included state, federal, and local agencies as well as the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, citizen’s groups and private sector representation.

Out of this elicitation of goodwill came a subsequent report that created the Poplar Island Environmental Restoration Proj-

ect that would be much more than just a dumping ground.

Construction started in 1998, and the dredge began to arrive in 2001, with more than 25 million cubic yards of it to date.

It’s both a working model and a living experiment of creating 550 acres each of wetland habitat, upland habitat, and public education programs so successful that a full-time position is funded just for that purpose. Because of the lost capacity due to the wetlands acreage, a 575-acre expansion was approved to add 1700 acres by 2029, and in the process protect the archipelago from northwest gales.

The Maryland Environmental Service, contracted under the Port Administration, oversees the project all under the watchful eye of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and also Ohio University, which is studying the return of terrapins and planting individual plugs of native grasses on the island. The place has the feel of a working construction site, which it is.

But rather than roughshod grading of the dredge, here it is carved and culled into natural looking channels, habitat islands, and other landforms that make it look “returned to God,” as one person exclaimed during my visit. MPA partners with the Army Corps on many projects and boasts an award-winning program that includes stakeholder input throughout the dredging process.

Today, there are cormorants, common terns, and least terns on the island, even as the dredge is barged in and deposited. Raccoons and foxes aren’t prevalent predators, and the “Terrapin Head Start Program” fascinates and enthralls about 250 school groups a year. Poplar might be better now than it ever was, except perhaps in the eyes of mainland black cats.

To arrange your own tour of the Poplar Island Environmental Restoration Project, contact Megan Garrett, Tour Coordinator of the Maryland Environmental Service at (410) 770-6503 or by email at poplartours@menv.com. Tours leave from Tilghman aboard the MV Terrapin. # SpinSheet January 2015 37

Boats to Watch New A round the SpinSheet office, we’re always on the look for the next big thing. And not to brag or anything, but we know a hot boat when we see one. We’ve compiled a list of the hot new boats we’re counting on seeing explode all over the Bay. For videos and more, check out spinsheet.com/hotboats.

The Gunboat 55

We love this boat because it was designed for serious owneroperators in mind. At the top of the “luxury cruiser” category, the Gunboat 55 boasts over 1300 square feet of mainsail, carbon fiber hulls and bridge, and solar cells on the cabin top to help power nav stations, electric winches, and the audio system. You’ll feel like Larry Ellison (in a good way) when you realize you’re effortlessly doing 20 knots down the Bay, martini in hand.

Chris and Carolyn Groobey will be racing their Gunboat 55 Toccata in the Annapolis to Newport race, one of several events they’re planning in 2015 (see page 82 for a full list of their sailing plans).

The Zim 15

So, whatever, we’ve all put on a few pounds since our days of college sailing. Seriously, no big deal. However, when we tried to pile into a Club 420 over the summer, those few (dozen) pounds were more than obvious: they were downright oppressive.

The Zim 15 is a boat designed for all of us who don’t fit in the 420s anymore. A performance dinghy for the 20-30 (and older) year-old market, the Zim 15 was conceived to counter the high drop off rate in dinghy sailors post-graduation. The boat is also great for team racing and as a club boat. The large upwind sail plan allows the boat to perform in higher wind speeds, while eliminating the need for a spinnaker or genniker.

Look for Zim 15 fleets to show up around the Bay as more and more clubs get excited about dinghy racing in more age appropriate boats. spinsheet.com

The VAr 37

It’s rare that you find a good racer-cruiser that can also fit all the needs of a liveaboard sailor.

The VAr 37 comes as close as we’ve seen to this, though, and all within a modest budget.

The VAr 37 was conceived when VAr Yachts bought the popular Hanse 370/375 mold and started stripping weight from the boat. A simpler deck and interior create a minimalist boat with clean lines (and 600 pounds lighter than the Hanse), making her faster to boot.

Perhaps the biggest winning factor in the boat? She starts around $150,000, something unheard of in the new boat market. A simple boat that we can race and take the family cruising for weeks at a time at a price cheaper than a time-share in Boca Raton? We’re sold.

Specs: LOA: 37’ 9” | Beam: 12’ 3” Draft: 6’ 4” standard, 5’ 2” optional

Foiling Lasers

The foiling craze has hit the Chesapeake Bay, but for many of us a Moth is still out of our price range. So why not retrofit the Laser sitting around your garage with a foil?

Glide Free Foils promises that “anyone who can sail can now foil.” The company has created a kit for retrofitting your boat with “flapless” foils on the centerboard and rudder, and with lower drag from fewer foils, you create a more stable boat. And the foils can retract even when you’re moving forward, enabling you to launch off a beach.

The Glide Free Foils kits just became available at the end of 2013, so plan to see foiling Lasers all over the Bay in 2015.

The C&C 30 One Design

One of our favorite boats at the 2014 United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, the C&C 30 One Design is a racer with an edge. Two boats showed up for the Annapolis Fall Regatta on Halloween, and we were amazed at their performance on the race course. Perhaps the allure of the boat is that she brings grand prix racing possibilities at an affordable price tag.

The boat is perfect for those wanting to do medium-distance races, making her a great Bay boat with offshore capabilities, although we know we’ll see a few bouncing around the buoys this summer.

C&C Yachts is already pushing Hull #19 out of the shed, so be ready to see more of this boat.

Branch Office

I

n 2001, I was in the midst of closing a major transaction at work. A necessary step was obtaining the board of directors’ approval. The chairman of the board was off sailing in Maine, aboard his Sabre 38, so he went to the v-berth and ran the meeting via cellphone from there. The connection was patchy, and the engine noise somewhat intrusive, but we got the job done.

Back then, mobile technology was not as widespread or advanced as it is now. I never imagined that I would find myself living aboard my own Sabre for six months, much less needing to take care of personal or professional business while doing so. But neither my sabbatical at sea nor many weekends of sailing this summer would have been possible without those capabilities.

When I first started imagining sailing away, it was at a time when phone and email technologies were clunky at best, laptop computers were delicate and expensive, and the concept of managing life online was a fantasy.

The reality, in 2013-14, was far more streamlined and efficient.

Although our nav station often resembled a tangle of wires, cables, 40 January 2015 SpinSheet

and chargers, as a practical matter, the amount of equipment we used was fairly modest: a laptop computer, WiFi hotspot, smartphone, and portable printer (which was never used). The amount of office supplies I kept aboard fit inside a plastic shoebox. With this gear, I was able to organize photos, blog, pay bills, review and respond to mail and email, manage our finances, and surf the web.

While in the Bahamas, getting adequate bandwidth could be very challenging. In fact, the places where “free” WiFi was offered were often the ones with the greatest difficulty, since everyone wanted a piece of that action. Rick sometimes ran the hotspot up the mast in a tote with a halyard to get a better signal. On one desperate occasion, I got up at 2:30 a.m. (with the hope that I would be sharing the bandwidth with fewer moochers) to take care of some business.

Once back in the U.S., it was much easier to access the Internet. In fact, the day after we crossed back to Florida, Rick drove the boat up the ICW while I positively binged for a few hours, not only paying bills and writing a blog

post on the fly, but booking a foreign vacation. I may not have been ready for full-on civilization, but re-connecting with the world was a treat.

I was hardly ready to give up the cruising lifestyle when I went back to work, so weekends on the boat were precious. For better or worse, though, my services were in demand when I came back – and not just during the week. Rather than forego weekend cruises, I just packed my boat office along with me. Like that chairman of the board all those years ago, I participated in conference calls, reviewed and drafted documents, and pushed my work forward without anyone being wise to the fact that I was somewhere in the wilds of the Chesapeake.

I’ve seen a lot of boats with names like Branch Office, allowing those owners to pretend they’re heading out to do business when they are playing hooky.

Who can blame them! I, on the other hand, have set up my boat to allow me to wedge some work in when I am trying to play. Though I don’t love being tethered to the office, technology allows me more play time than I would have had, so I consider it a win. # spinsheet.com

Cruising Habits

##Cruising families cherish their time together... even when long cruising adventures end.

That Stick I

by Tracy Leonard

n all the reading I’ve done about living the cruising dream, I haven’t often read about what happens when it’s all over or, more to the point, how to cope with being back at the dock for good. When we started planning our 14-month cruise so many, many months ago, we tried not to contemplate the end. My husband was fond of quipping, “The end of the cruise is a lot like death: you know it’s coming, but you prefer not to think about it.” How uplifting.

Now, even the end of our year-long cruise has come and gone. With no self help books leading the way, you might wonder what folks do to cope with the tumult we bring upon ourselves. In our case, we embraced denial and stayed on the boat. We simply did not get off, at least not until December’s cold set in, much to the surprise of landlubber acquaintances who often asked, “Don’t you have a house?”

It turns out we’re not the only “postcruisers” who take this approach. You might think that living in a confined space in somewhat scarce conditions would send post-cruisers running for the luxuries of a McMansion (and no doubt a big, frontloading fridge and flushing toilets have their advantages), but for many, cruising increases their affection for and need to be on a boat.

Concerned that we might have a larger than usual kink in our system, I have talked with many post-cruisers. The majority, like us, have spent more of their free time on their boats since returning to their home ports rather than less.

We could have come by this genetically, so to speak. Hurrah’s former owners cruised Hurrah for three years before coming home. They found they couldn’t scratch the itch, so they took to spending summers aboard Hurrah in Maine.

Follow us!

Now they own a powerboat and dream of looping.

Other families, too, are the same way. Three years ago, the Hopman family spent the winter in the Caribbean aboard their Halberg Rassy 37 Borealis after sailing down as part of the Salty Dawg Rally fleet. Now that they’re back, they spend as much of each summer as they can aboard Borealis in Maine. Tatja Hopman also works with the Salty Dawg Rally to help other cruisers make similar journeys to the one her family made.

The Zani family sailed their Fontaine Pajot 43 Fabuloso around the Caribbean for four months last winter.

While they found they didn’t need a bluewater catamaran for their home waters in Narangansett Bay, Mike Zani says that the summer is all about boats pretty much all the time.

Closer to the Chesapeake, the Day family returned from a Mediterranean cruise aboard their Farr 50 Tenho in 2013 resolving to live aboard in Annapolis the next summer. This summer found them based out of Back Creek, and they’ve spent as many weekends aboard their boat as possible this fall.

Daughter Maggie especially loved cruising and home schooling and asks to spend as much time as possible on the boat.

Post-cruising isn’t just about boat time. It’s also about spending more

time with friends and family. It seems cruisers value the tight family time aboard their vessel. And they miss their friends while they’re gone.

So what does this amount to when you’re back in port? More raft-ups … more spontaneous dinner parties … more games and less technology.

Zani said their family makes a point of playing board games, a habit they picked up in the Caribbean, now that they’re back on land. They spent many nights last winter learning the ins and outs of Monopoly (including why money shouldn’t pass under the table among brothers), and the fun of that close interaction is something they keep up now that they are back to work, school, and team sports.

As for the raftups, we haven’t spent a weekend alone at anchor since we’ve been back. Perhaps it is no surprise that many of our raft-up companions are also post-cruisers.

Evenings of relaxed conversation, potluck dinners, and tropical cocktails are a habit that simply shouldn’t be broken. It helps us stay connected to friends we missed while we were away.

So more weekend boating and staying in better touch with friends and family: at least the end of cruising has some upsides. Alas, if only staying ship-shape while at the dock were as easy a habit to keep. # SpinSheet January 2015 41

Charter Notes

by Lori Mayers

Gonzalo

“Y

ou must return to base.”

And then, “This is mandatory!” With that, our crew of six was bound back for Oyster Pond in the Île de St. Martin. Our trip to the Leeward Islands celebrating my retirement was about to become even more memorable, as we were about to encounter Gonzalo, one of the few hurricanes of the 2014 season.

When we began our sail three days earlier, we knew there were two storms brewing in the mid-Atlantic.

Victoria, who provided a thorough briefing, explained the need to keep in touch with the Moorings base. Her prediction: Fay and Gonzalo would head north in the Atlantic and avoid the Leeward Islands.

On October 13, we awakened to stormy skies and learned that tropical storm Gonzalo had hit Antigua and was headed our way. NOAA told us that the winds were 60 ... 100, and Gonzalo was traveling at about 12 mph. Antigua was 108 miles away. We had nine hours.

The gentile French accent of the Moorings representative did not hide the ur-

gency of her message. “You must be back by 10 a.m.” We were anchored in Marigot Bay, almost half way around the Island, and the only way back was through increasingly stormy seas.

Jacques, the commodore of our sixboat fleet, had already attempted to exit the harbor once and had returned to pull into the protected docks of the Marina Fort Louis. But, there was no choice in the matter; all boats had to get underway.

The sailors of the self-titled “Jager” fleet were bound by adventure but were not bound together. Some boats had elected to travel to St. Barts and rendezvous there the day before the storm. They too were called back to base, but we did not know that, nor did we know if they would make it.

St. Barts is an 18-mile sail, and their return to St. Martin would be to windward with high seas.

“Jager 3” followed “Jager 1” out of Marigot Bay and headed clockwise around the island. We had to reach the east side of the island where Oyster Pond is situated and initially dealt with six-foot seas and the wind 45 degrees off the starboard bow. We knew once we rounded the northern tip of the island, we would have the wind on our fourth quarter, with deep seas. By the time we were doing the downwind run, we mostly saw only the mast of Jager 1’s 48-foot catamaran.

The entrance to Oyster Pond, even in good weather, is very narrow and marked by big rollers. There are breaks in heavy seas, and the breakers by 10 a.m. were easily eight feet. We were met by a tender who led us in. After docking lines were tied and double tied, a toast went up for our safe arrival. The wind was definitely picking up, and our binoculars confirmed the breakers at the outlet were furious.

It was 2 p.m. Jagers 4, 5, and 6 arrived, and they spoke of high seas and a difficult time getting into the harbor.

They related that Jager 2 had delayed their departure by at least an hour.

Their whereabouts was unknown.

The dock bar was open for the returning sailors for a time, but by 2:30 p.m., we had retreated to our cabin to weather the storm. Initially it was a great adventure to travel to the cockpit to check the wind readings: 38.7 at 2:41 p.m.; 39.5 at 3:37 p.m.; 41.3 at 3:38 p.m. The captain and two crew ventured out of our cabin at 4:50 p.m. in foul weather gear and reported the torrent of rain was stinging. The wind gauge read 55, our last reading before the full force of the storm hit.

As Gonzalo neared our tropical island, it gathered enough force to be reclassified as a category I hurricane. Later reports confirmed that when Gonzalo was 20 miles east of St. Martin at 5 p.m., winds blew at 75

miles per hour. The center later passed within nine miles of the island.

The VHS and our binoculars became our only contact with the other boats. It was shocking to see the fiberglass awning over the helm of Jager 5’s boat slowly being ripped off. The noise of the storm was almost overshadowed by the noise of flapping sheets on our cabin top. Roller reefed jibs on nearby mono hulls slowly started to unravel and then shred in the wind.

The crew on Jager 5 became frantic with the noise from their awning and even more concerned when the windswept rain started seeping through their salon doors. All we could do was offer reassurances that the height of the storm was supposed to pass by 6 p.m., which was a half an hour away.

Through it all, our lines held tight.

Our generator kept the lights on. Not so for Jager 5 as we watched with continued dread their lights flicker, and then, no lights at all.

It was between 6-7 p.m. when the ferocity of the storm heightened and then began to stutter. By 9 p.m., we were able to exit the cabin to survey

the damage. The commodore’s dock line had nearly broken the cleat out of its base, which was set in cement.

Jager 5’s helm station would remain roofless for the remainder of the cruise. The significant debris about the dock was illuminated only by flashlight. Knowing the VHS was line of sight, a call went out to Jager 2, with the hope that we had missed their entry into the harbor, but only silence responded.

The next morning, Tuesday, October 14, under partly cloudy skies, the full extent of the damage was revealed.

There were five boats impaled on the rocks at the mouth of the harbor, two of them catamarans. Trees had fallen on cars in front of Captain Oliver’s hotel. There was no electricity and no Wi-Fi. Several boats were sunk in the harbor. After making the necessary repairs and re-provisioning, the boats headed out for St. Bart’s.

Serendipity has a funny way of presenting itself. Once out of Oyster Pond, we prepared to set the main when we realized the wind had shaken free three of our batons. We were

again forced to return to base. While waiting for them to refashion our batons, we were astonished and relieved to see the crew from Jager 2 walking down the dock. They had arrived by taxi, looking for the fleet. Only then did we learn of their harrowing experience.

Charter Notes Jager 2 had set a course for Oyster Pond, and by the time they reached the entrance, they were battling 10 foot or greater seas. No matter how much power they gave the engine they could not avoid tending toward the rocks. A decision was made to abandon that option, and they turned toward Simpson Bay, taking them almost to Marigot Bay where we had begun our exodus. They made it to Simpson Bay Lagoon just before the swing bridge was closed for the storm.

They were led into their slip around 4:30 p.m. Within five minutes the local authorities boarded the boat.

“You must exit the boat now!” they were told. Barely able to grab a backpack, the crew of eight was led to an elementary school. There they were given water and crackers and slept on cafeteria tables.

Tuesday morning they were notified they would not be allowed to sail their boat yet, as Simpson Bay Lagoon was strewn with submerged boats.

rossing oceans is not for everyone. It’s long, uncomfortable, dangerous, and unpredictable.

The truth is that cruising is mostly anchoring out and island hopping and not a whole lot of ocean passages for the most part. So why go through the week or two of passage making if it’s not your cup of tea?

Laura Clinkinbeard already knows she’s not an ocean sailing kind of gal.

She and her fiancé Jacob Brynjelsen are based in Solomons, MD, and plan a November departure on their Beneateu Oceanis 400 called Life Aquatic. The plan is for Laura to fly from port to port while Jacob sails the boat. Then they

will reunite at anchor and enjoy the good life.

“When he heads to the Bahamas next November, he will cruise over there with some buddies, and I will fly from Norfolk,” says Laura. “I can handle the idea of island hopping, just not days at sea without seeing land with the ideas of storms, big waves, having to keep watch days on end. I’d have to be on large amounts of Xanax to handle that.”

Laura and Jacob even bought a condo in Florida so that she can have a place to escape when things start to feel uncomfortable. “The idea of living full time in such close quarters makes me

crazy,” she states. “Jacob will spend the whole time with the boat most likely.

And being with someone who is military, I am already used to long stints of time away from each other.”

Laura doesn’t mind fair-weather coastal sailing with Jacob. She plans to take sailing lessons and hopes to learn a little more about boat handling. She says she’s okay as long as there aren’t long passages away from the sight of land. So, she and Jacob have spent the past four years sailing Life Aquatic all over the Chesapeake.

“It’s nice living in Solomons with the Chesapeake as our playground. It is such an amazing place to live, and I feel so lucky to have called it home for so many years.”

Jacob is an experienced sailor with 20 years under his belt and has no problem single-handing the boat. Laura says every time they tell friends about their plan, people jump at the chance to come along as crew and help Jacob with passages while Laura flies.

This arrangement is not uncommon.

In fact, it’s becoming popular enough to merit its own nickname: the Flying Wives Club. Or the 747 Flotilla.

Sarah North has heard them all, and she’s not laughing. “Personally, I find them kind of offensive, especially since the main reason I didn’t do the offshore was because of the kids. I like to think I would have done it if we didn’t have kids,” remarks Sarah from Anguilla in the Caribbean.

She and her husband Barrie and their three boys are in the middle of a oneyear sabbatical onboard their Tartan 41 Alchemy. They left Lake Champlain in their home state of Vermont in August 2014 and made their way to the Chesapeake Bay together as a family. The boys, ages 7, 9, and 11 slid easily into boat schooling and learning the ropes of being cruising kids. But in Norfolk, VA, Mom and Dad made the decision to have Barrie take on crew and bring Alchemy to the Virgin Islands with the Caribbean 1500, without the rest of the family. Sarah and the kids road tripped around the East Coast to see family and then flew to St. Thomas and took the ferry to Tortola to meet with Barrie again.

“We only considered doing the offshore as a family for a few brief seconds.

Thank goodness we didn’t,” says Sarah.

“The boys and I had no offshore experience, unless you count New York City

Sarah and the boys were able to track Barrie’s progress through the Caribbean 1500’s web site, and they exchanged emails via satellite phone.

Barrie describes the passage as “brutal” with eight days of beating to weather.

Now with the big hop behind them, they can take the baby steps together as a family through the Caribbean to gain their sea legs.

They already conquered their first overing for more than 20 years, but waited night passage recently with a trip from until her daughters were grown before Tortola to Anguilla. The plan is to stay chasing the cruising dream.

Sharon Gladwin has been sailthen offshore to Barnegat Light, NJ. That took three weeks, and I was solo except for the first three days. Jim met me in New London, CT, after my shakedown,” says Sharon.

The plan is for Sharon to spend a month or more each year cruising while Jim cheers from home and meets her in port. At six feet 5 1/2 inches tall, he’s not inclined to live on a boat long term.

But he’s all for Sharon planning, sailing, maintaining, and cruising her boat wherever she wants.

Some people may see it as splitting up, but these couples see it as the best way to stay together. “Jacob and I met five years ago, and from the beginning, he told me of his plan to cruise after retirement. This is not something that I have ever thought about or really wanted to do,” says Laura. “I love him, ##Having Barrie deliver the boat to the Caribbean and Sarah and the boys meeting him there made the most sense when it came to timing and experience levels. so am willing to give it a try.” #

Since we changed the format of this section in 2013 to make room for longer articles and to post expanded Club Notes on spinsheet.com/ clubs, we have had quite a bit of feedback. The most positive comments have been about the short interviews of club members and their sailing adventures. This is no surprise, because clubs are all about the people. We would like to do more interviews of club members, but we need your help.

##All sailors have stories about how they got into sailing and connected with friends. What’s your story?

To be an “interviewee” for a SpinSheet Club Notes profile, all you need to do is belong to a sailing or cruising club, to agree to an interview, to send us a photo of yourself (preferably near water), and to answer the following questions: • What is your home creek and marina?

• If applicable, what is the name of your boat and what year?

• How did you get into sailing?

• What’s the best part about being in a sailing/cruising club?

• Have you held an office within your club?

• Do you have a favorite recent memory from a club rendezvous, raftup, or social event?

• Anything else you would like to share with SpinSheet readers about your sailing adventures?

Club friends may answer the questions by email or by phone, whichever is more convenient. We are happy to send the completed article back to interviewees for fact-checking before we go to print. We also interview couples as well as individuals. We have yet to interview a sailing dog or cat but are also open to that … as long as they are active club members.

Follow us!

The first three sailors to send us five names of and contact information for active club members will receive SpinSheet hats. The next three sailors to send us three names of and contact information for active club members will receive SpinSheet coozies for the boat and stickers. That will equal 24 club interviewees, enough to fill SpinSheet in 2015—and what a great way to tell the sailing world

just how wonderful your fellow club members are!

Send names of and contact information for interviewees to molly@spinsheet.com by January 10. You may also send your usual club news and photos by that date. If you have a new communications person in the New Year, make sure to tell us about the change.

CRUISING CLUB NOTES Sharing Sailing in Solomons

I

f ever you see a slick 28-footer called Stingray sailing out of Mill Creek in Solomons with a happy couple onboard, you’ll know it’s Elliott and Alexa Peterson. Elliott writes, “Stingray is a classic 1986 MORC gem, a Nelson/ Marek design with the hull of a Merit 28 and the deck of a Santana 30/30 Grand Prix joined at birth, so it’s a very crew ##SMSA members Alexa and Elliott Peterson

friendly racer.” And these Southern Maryland Sailing Association (SMSA) members cruise, too.

How did you get into sailing?

Alexa learned to sail in Colorado thru an ASA keelboat course and then joined a sailing club. Our first date was a sail on a J-boat in a reservoir in Denver, CO. I [Elliott] was introduced to sailing before I could swim and almost drowned after my first outing in Lake Michigan (Sorry about that watch, Dad). I started racing Optis when I moved to Florida at age 10 and crewed with neighbor Hank Wester shortly after that. My old windsurfing friend John Lecourt, introduced me to Bobby and Rene Muller (Stingray’s former owners), MORC racing, and more in the late 1980s.

What’s the best part about being in a sailing/cruising club?

We like racing Stingray on informal SMSA Wednesday night races and in weekend events with our fun, talented crew, but really enjoy racing together

in double-handed races or cruising with our cruising mentors, Jerry and Donna Taylor, who are teaching us about life on the hook.

Do you have a favorite recent memory from a club rendezvous or raftup?

Alexa and I sailed in SMSA’s mixed couples race up the Patuxent river this year to the club’s biggest raftup of the year. It was an extremely light air day.

We kept shifting gears on Stingray, sailing from one wind line to the next, as our competitors lost patience and started their engines. We ended up being the only keelboat to finish the race! Finishing was rewarding, and the raftup after that one was really fun (no jellyfish!).

Anything else you would like to share about your sailing adventures?

We are always looking for new friends to come sailing or racing (or both) with us on Stingray. For 2015, we would like to extend a crew invite to any wounded veterans near Solomons or Annapolis.

Messing About

I

f the name Jeanne van Hekken rings a bell, and you’re not sure why, that means you’re a dedicated SpinSheet Club Notes reader. Jeanne has diligently sent news and photos to Club Notes as the secretary and editor for the Club Beneteau Chesapeake Bay (CB2) for four years. When you’re the one reporting activities and taking photos, you’re usually not featured much and don’t have many photos of yourself.

We thought it was about time to learn more about the sailor on the 2006 Beneteau 473 Messing About when she’s not writing about her club’s activities.

What is your home creek and marina?

We have had our boat at Osprey Point Marina in Rock Hall for the past six years and have enjoyed the beautiful setting. We will probably move to Selby Bay Marina in the South River this Spring. The location is more central and many of the CB2 members also keep their boats at this marina.

How did you get into sailing?

Many years ago I started dating my husband Frans, and he had a small daysailer, Buccaneer 19, which we sailed on the Susquehanna River. We quickly outgrew that boat and purchased an old Cal 25, which grew into a Titan 30, and finally Messing About (47 feet).

What’s the best part about being in a cruising club?

Interesting people who like to live life to the fullest and the many Beneteau Owners Living the Dream (BOLD) trips exploring the Bay, Delmarva, New York City, Long Island Sound, Newport and Block Island, RI, and exploring the ICW. Do you have a favorite recent memory from a club rendezvous or raft-up?

Going up the East River after leaving NYC and heading up Long Island Sound … seeing the sights from the boat was something.

CB2 Wins Best in Show

“G

o Big or Go Home”— this was the mantra that motivated the Club Beneteau Chesapeake Bay (CB2) Eastport YC Lights Parade team.

And go big they did. With close to 20,000 lights choreographed to “Carol of the Bells,” CB2 wowed the audiences and the judges in Annapolis Harbor and Eastport to win the event’s coveted “Best in Show” award. Although some technical difficulties caused a bit of delay in the early hour of the parade, eventually the show went on and was truly spectacular.

Thanks go out to the many club members who worked on all aspects of the display from the light sails, to the snowflakes on the mast, to the music. It was most certainly a team effort and could not have been accomplished without their help. Thanks also to Annapolis Yacht Sales for contributing both financially and with logo artwork for our use.

Mostly however, thanks to team captains Mike and Tammy Everitt for their artistic vision, gracious use of their vessel Bleu Flue, and tenacity to see the project through to its ultimate successful completion. I’m sure I speak for the entire membership when I say how proud we are of both Mike and Tammy to be such generous ambassadors for our club. Please join me in congratulating their successful and award winning Lights Parade effort. ~Joe Zebleckes, Commodore

12 Meter Sailing in Newport

O

n Thursday, August 14, 2014, in Newport, RI, the final day of the 2014 Corinthian Annual Cruise, 33 Corinthians and 10 Little Ship Club members took advantage of the opportunity to race three historic former America’s Cup 12 meter yachts: Intrepid, a three-time America’s Cup defender (1967 and 1970); Heritage, the last American wooden 12 meter America’s Cup yacht; and Weatherly, a 1958 Philip L. Rhodes design listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The day was spectacularly sunny as crew members boarded their assigned boats, motored away, and hoisted sails.

The paid skippers assigned tasks and explained how to use the grinders (not as easy as it looked).

paying customers during a tack. For our “over 40” crowd the large drum winches that are mounted on the deck made most wish they had seriously done some stretching ahead of time. Lots of bending and getting up and down. These were no problem for the excellent (and in shape) paid crew members.

The mid-day consisted of three races, and each of the three boats served once as the “rabbit” or start boat. The courses challenged each team with the varying winds, currents, and of course actually finding those tiny orange buoys that needed to be rounded.

The races were quite competitive and fun. The captains encouraged the crews to race the boats and to take an active part in each race. Many did. Members of the crews were really into the races and could be heard saying, “We need more backstay, tail that sheet, and let out the main.” All crews gave it their best.

Intrepid and her crew that took all three races. It was a terrific time, and everyone aboard had an opportunity to work and race the yachts with ample time to “free sail” at the end of each race. thecorinthians.org ~ Denise Gill

CRUISING CLUB NOTES HHSA Building the Non-Spinnaker Fleet

H

errington Harbour Sailing Association (HHSA) has enjoyed local club racing since it was founded.

Along with the two spinnaker fleets, the club has a fleet that only allows boats to use their mainsail and jib/genoa: the NonSpinnaker fleet. Non-spin racing is a great way to get involved with HHSA without a lot of time commitment. In 2015, HHSA will put an emphasis on building the non-spin fleet. Here are HHSA’s top ten reasons for not racing non-spin and why they are wrong: I need a big boat. – Unless you are a sport boat, you will see boats as small as 22 feet racing. All boats have a handicap rating to level the playing field.

My boat is too big. – Many larger boats are designed for short-handed operations.

Even if your boat isn’t, just track down some friends to help crew.

My boat is too cruisy. Racers often have air conditioners, refrigerators, biminis, and cases of beer and rum. Again, boats are handicapped to level the playing field.

I don’t have enough crew. – No one has enough crew, so we make due. If you can get out of the slip, you have enough.

My insurance company doesn’t allow me to race.

Most insurance companies are okay with casual racing.

I don’t have any experience. Lots of racers start as crew on other people’s boats.

A fun way to get your feet ##HHSA’s non-spinnaker fleet sailing wing on wing. wet is to help the committee boat with starts and finishes.

In the spring, many clubs have racing semitime, usually in the spring. Also, there are nars and practice races. several overviews of the basic rules online.

hat do one-design sailors do in the “off season”? They all read the same book!

Severn Sailing Association (SSA) hosts a monthly book club where members gather for low-key conversation about books in which water and boats are among the main characters.

In December, the group had a special treat, as the author of their book — fellow SSA member Carol Cronin — was traveling through town. They were able to coordinate schedules to have Carol join the book club to share the author’s perspective on one of her novels, “Game of Sails: An Olympic Love Story.” What kind of love? Well, you’ve got to read it to find out.

All the sailor-readers enjoyed the book, which gets off to a fast-paced start as the first chapter features a capsize on the start line of an elitelevel regatta.

While book club members loved hearing from the author, she enjoyed their perspectives as well. “My favorite part of the evening was hearing that Casey’s [one of the main characters] mastery of pushups inspired a fellow real-life sailor to work out,” Carol said. severnsailing.org

AYC Coach Headed to the Netherlands

ast month, the U.S. Optimist Dinghy Association’s (USODA) International Committee announced that the Annapolis YC’s (AYC) Optimist Head Coach, Tomas Ruiz de Luque, was selected as one of two coaches who will take 15 U.S. Optimist Dinghy sailors to the 30th Magic Marine Easter Regatta in The Netherlands, March 29 – April 7.

Ruiz de Luque will coach alongside Richard Feeny, a sailing educator and coach from Rhode Island. The pair was hand-picked, along with six other coaches, from 71 applicants from all over the U.S. “It’s an honor to be named among the other coaches, because they’re some of the best coaches in the country,” says Ruiz de Luque.

The eight coaches will work in pairs to train their respective teams, which are comprised of 15 of the top 60 Optimist Dinghy sailors who had qualified at the USODA Midwinter Championship in New Orleans, LA, during Thanksgiving weekend. Each team will then represent the U.S. at one of the four international regattas: the Inter-

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the sailing is still delightful…

long with shorter courses and cold weather gear, frostbite racing means hot beverages replace cold beer, downwind legs are wing on wing instead of flying the kite, and in big boats, everyone stays in the cockpit. We asked cold weather sailors Stuart Proctor, programs and education manager at Baltimore’s Downtown Sailing Center, and Robert Suhay of Hampton Roads Sailing to fill us in on the frigid world of frostbiting. ##Dinghy sailors, who endure we t fee t, must be mindful of the dangers of cold water.

Photo courtesy of Hampton Roads Sailing

What kind of boats are you racing and where?

Proctor: We sail right off the docks in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, and we race J/22s with an occasional Sonar thrown into the mix. Each Saturday, we usually have about about 30 people racing eight or nine boats.

Suhay: We sail Lasers and other dinghies off the boat ramp at Old Dominion University. Our roster often changes, and the core members seem to morph over time, with a few stalwarts hanging in year after year.

We’ve sailed with as few as three boats, and as many as 16. In all, we have had more than 60 sailors take part in the Sunday morning series during the past five years.

How long have you been a frostbiter?

Proctor: This is the fourth consecutive DSC frostbiting season, but I’ve been sailing in winters since I was 16.

Suhay: I’ve been sailing through the winter most of my life, but I got into organized frostbite racing over the past six years.

What are your most important pieces of cold weather gear?

Proctor: Merino wool socks make for warm and dry feet, and Atlas thermals with nitrile gloves underneath keep my hands warm until it gets really cold; then I throw on the “warm gloves.” My Carhartt coveralls keep me toasty and stylish as long as it’s not too wet and windy, then the sail-

ing gear comes out. But the greatest luxury I own is a pair of fleece pants.

We typically recommend ski apparel to our members who lack fancy equipment, which works just fine, and I’ve even been beaten on occasion by men in camo gear.

Suhay: I live by my wetsuit, doublelayer wool socks, and a wool hat. In a Laser, the feet are almost always in water, so thick wool socks are a must. In fall, a shorty and base layer leggings and top are generally enough. Once the real cold sets in, I have two full wetsuits. When the wind is up, a spray top goes a long way to keeping things toasty.

How do you explain the attraction to sailing in the cold?

Proctor: I really enjoy the nature of the racing we do. We focus on short course, non-spinnaker racing that is exciting for advanced sailors but not too intimidating for new drivers.

##In addition to cold weather sailing gear, frostbiters wear ski apparel and hunting clothes.

We self-police, and for the starts, the racer with the most experience blasts the sequence from his boat over VHF radio via an “Ollie,” a horn in a box on a timer. This kind of racing is a great opportunity to work on one’s weaknesses. What other time do you get six starts in during one afternoon?

Since we don’t keep score, we try new things and do things we wouldn’t do when racing for points.

Suhay: I love sailing in the winter because the air and water are very clear, and there’s very little boat traffic. Frostbiting brings on a feeling of shared challenge and camaraderie. ##A good hat goes a long way to keeping your whole body warm.

Photo by Al Schreitmueller

There’s a sense of “we must be crazy to be doing this” that definitely builds a community. On shore, we generally have a big pot of tea or coffee available for everyone to share. When it gets really cold, my wife enjoys brewing up a batch of Irish coffee. It’s very friendly on the water, and we have very few rule conflicts. When they come up, the issue has always been settled on the water.

Are there any special safety rules your club or association imposes?

Proctor: The DSC will run frostbiting as long as: there is no snow or ice on the boats, docks, or water; the combined air and water temps are 80 degrees Fahrenheit; and the wind is less than 20 knots. We keep a powerboat at the end of the dock ready to go in case we have an emergency.

Suhay: We require that everyone out on the water is capable of handling a small boat, dressed in appropriate clothing, and understands the risks involved. We run short courses to keep the fleet close. Our group will stop a race to assist if someone is in trouble, and we have access to warm showers if a person does begin to experience hypothermia. We don’t race if the water temperature and wind conditions look too dangerous, generally if the wind is in the high teens. ##Everyone stays in the cockpit when frostbite racing bigger boats.

Quantum Key West Race Week 2015

T

A Return to the Conch Republic

here’s always a little bit of everything at Quantum Key West Race Week (KWRW): high speed cats to High Performance racers; lines crowded with 70-foot mini maxis to the maximum number of J/70s allowed on the line. And with temps generally in the 70s, steady breeze to keep us interested, and some of the best sailors from around the world crowding into a land mass of only 4.2 square miles, there really is no better place to be for sailing in January.

This year, only nine Bay boats are making the trek down, but they’re some of the strongest competitors.

##Photo by Walter Cooper

Two Farr 280s will be representing: Ian Gordon and George Collins’ Chessie Racing, along with W.S. Shelhorse’s Meridian. We’ll have plenty of J/70s out there, as well: look for skippers Catharine Evans on Mojito, Peter Firey on Phoenix, Cole Allsopp on Moxie, Dan Troutman on Pied Piper, and Peter Bowe on Tea Dance Snake.

Bars & Restaurants

Blue Heaven Sit outside and enjoy your meal. Pay no attention to the chickens that may wonder by your table. The food is terrific, and the mojitos are even better.

Virgilio’s An excellent bar and restaurant with crazy good martinis ranging from traditional to girlie to full-on espresso. The outdoor bar in back is open air and host to some top-notch bands.

Chesapeake sailors often congregate at Smokin Tuna, a great outdoor bar with live music that’s situated close to regatta central. Scott Kirby, one of the owners, is a regular at the Boatyard Bar & Grill in Annapolis.

La Marquesa Upscale dining with white tablecloths and seriously good food and service. Fair warning: this place is not for the sloppy post-regatta party crowd.

Kelly’s Caribbean Bar, Sloppy Joe’s, Pepe’s, and the Hog’s Breath Saloon All tried and true. You won’t go wrong with any of them.

Attractions

Sunset Celebration See the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico from the waterfront at Mallory Square. Fun-loving entertainers such as comedian-jugglers and musicians are the opening act before nature’s main attraction.

Exciting New Offshore Races and Series

O

ffshore racing sailors have grown accustomed to waving goodbye in Annapolis and pointing their bows toward Thomas Point Light and eventually out the Bay and into the ocean.

Here’s something different: In the spring of 2015, you’ll have your chance to sail to Annapolis instead of away from it.

Race organizers of three U.S. East Coast offshore races: the new Fort Lauderdale to Charleston, the new Ocean Race North, and the well-established Annapolis to Newport Race confirmed their plans to team up and create the East Coast Ocean Series. In addition, Manuka Sports Event Management confirmed their plans for the inaugural edition of Ocean Race North, a new offshore race running north from Charleston to Annapolis to start May 22. The East Coast Ocean Series ties

three offshore events together to create an overall point standings and trophy for sailors to race from Florida up to Newport, RI, between April and June.

The first offshore race in the series is Fort Lauderdale to Charleston starting

in the series, a boat must race in all three legs; however, the same sailors do not need to be onboard for all three races. A final Awards Party and Trophy Presentation will be held in Newport following the Annapolis to Newport Race. Sailors may sign up for the ##Offshore crews are used to sailing away from Annapolis. series for free when This spring they have the chance to sail TO Annapolis they sign up for the instead of away from it.

Class 40s in Annapolis to Newport Race

esigned primarily for single-handed or double-handed racing, the Class 40-footers high-performance monohulls have been a fixture in such East Coast distance races as Newport to Bermuda and Marblehead to Halifax. Now the Class 40 is coming to the historic Annapolis to Newport Race. Organizers with Annapolis YC (AYC) announced

that the sleek, fast, and exciting ocean racers will be the “featured class” for the 2015 edition of the offshore classic.

“We were hoping to get a marquee class to participate in next year’s race, and the Class 40 certainly qualifies,” said Dick Neville, co-chairman of the event.

“These are very innovative, high-tech offshore boats and will add an exciting element to an already premier event.”

Michael Hennessy, North American representative for the International Class 40 Association, is confident at least five of the ##Michael Hennessy’s Dragon will be one of the Class speedy boats 40-footers featured in the Annapolis to Newport will compete Race.

to-Newport. Hennessy will race his boat named Dragon, which he has campaigned since 2009 and averaged almost 4000 nautical miles a year. Pleiad (Ed Cesare, Newport, RI), Toothface (Mike Dreese, Boston, MA) and Amhas (Micah Davis and Brian Harris, Portland, ME) have also tentatively agreed to participate in the East Coast Ocean Series.

Class 40s are water-ballasted and feature twin rudders. Cesare said the boats are “a little sticky” in light air, but revel in heavy winds. Like most offshore designs, the Class 40 is best suited to power reaching, and Cesare has seen a top speed of 26 knots. While the Class 40 has been wildly popular in Europe from the outset, it has only recently seen a rapid growth in North America with a total of 20 boats, 14 of which are based on the East Coast.

The 35th edition of the Annapolis to Newport Race will start June 5 and 6. annapolisnewportrace.com SpinSheet January 2015 65

Trippe Creek Penguin Frostbite Regatta New Partnership for the Miles River Race

T

he Miles River YC and Eastport YC (EYC) have partnered to cohost the 2015 Annapolis to Miles River Race and the Race Back, a Memorial Day weekend tradition. EYC is excited to be part of this long-running event and wants to do all they can do to make the race home — all the way back to Annapolis instead of part way — as exciting as the race over. Stay tuned to SpinSheet as plans to grow and improve the regatta progress.

##The Trippe Creek Penguin Frostbite Regatta, always a family affair, was won by Jonathan and Annie Bartlett (left). Jane Delashmutt and GK O’Mara are in the foreground.

by Paul Hull

n a sunny, cold November 8, Jim Thompson welcomed 10 teams and approximately 60 spectators to the first Trippe Creek Penguin Frostbite Regatta.

This end of season extravaganza is the successor to the Island Creek Penguin Frostbite Regatta (ICPFR) and the Upper Miles River Frostbite Regatta (UMPFR), first held in 1989.

Sailing attendance was off a bit this year likely due to the cold temperatures and the breezy unstable southerly. Party attendance was as flush as always with many famous, near famous, and hangers on available to contribute to the fun atmosphere of this popular event. Tot O’Mara was once again PRO, and Steve Requardt provided the mark boat.

David Cox provided his organizational skills and sailed his Penguin with Cathy Kramer to fourth place. Scott Williamson and very small son Charlie placed third.

Charlie was awarded the youngest sailor prize. Star and Laser sailor Mike Hecky sailing with daughter Rachel (also past Penguin International Champions) finshed second. The winners were current International Champs Annie and Jonathan Bartlett who had only seven points in five races in the difficult, shifty conditions.

Jonathan and Anne also won the Family

Award as well as the Region III Championship. Six of the boats were sailed by family teams attesting to the family-friendly appeal of this enduring one one-design class.

Other notable awards included the Puck Up award to Ebby Dupont and Susan Hopkins. Ebby and Susan were also recognized as the oldest team and received the dubious distinction as the only boat to turn over. Brittany Beigel won the crew race with Dad Read as crew. Perhaps they should have maintained the role reversal for the other races as they were sixth overall.

Other participants included Bill Lawson and Colette Preis in fifth; Jane Delashmutt and GT GK O’Mara in seventh; Sandy McAllister and Sarah Chamberlin in eighth; and Will and Anna Wagner in 10th. It should be noted here that, unlike previous regattas, Sandy distinguished himself by not turning over.

Thanks to organizer David Cox, PRO Tot O’Mara and generous hosts Jim and Holly Thompson.

Registration is open until the world (at my first OCR, I was in the January 25 (January 5 for early entry fee); make-your-own-ice cream-sundae line although there are caps on the size of each behind Robert Scheidt!).

A few teams from the Chesapeake area will head down for the event. The team of Thomas Barrows and Annapolis’s own Joe Morris sail the high-performance 49er, which requires nimble footing and cat-like reflexes. Barrows and Morris met while in college at Yale, where they each skippered in intercollegiate sailing. They first teamed up in the 49er in late 2012, and have been on an upward trajectory ever since. They sailed to a solid mid-fleet finish at the September 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships in Santander, Spain, and seek to build on that success.

Other Chesapeake-area sailors slated to compete include Joseph David (Laser, from Norfolk) and Farrah Hall (RS:X, Annapolis).

But in the big scheme of things, that’s not many sailors from our area. It’s not that long a drive for such a major regatta; I’ve known people to make the drive home from Miami to the Annapolis area in about 18 hours. The payoff for that investment in time is huge.

True, not many of the boats sailed at the Miami World Cup regatta have big fleets here on the Bay. But these are the fleets I hope many of our young sailors aspire to; that they want to sail these boats as a first step toward an Olympic campaign. There are so very many highly talented junior sailors around the Bay — wouldn’t it be great to see even more of them stepping up to try for small one-design boats’ highest honor? Are people hesitant to participate in a regatta if they don’t think they’ll do well? That’s silly … at the Miami regatta, only one boat in each fleet wins, but every team learns a lot. What can we all do to foster their participation?

Who’s ready for 2015?

We are.

W

ith an eye toward getting our sailing schedules solidified, we reached out to a few of the Bay’s most prolific sailors to see what they’re planning for in 2015. Reading their letters makes it really hard to keep a day job, we’ll say that much.

Chris and Carolyn Groobey will take delivery of a brand new Gunboat 55 later this month at the Miami Boat Show, and they aren’t wasting any time splashing her and getting out on the water. They’ll participate in the Heineken Regatta in St. Martin in March, followed by the Le Voile Regatta in St. Barths in April. Antigua Race Week falls just a week later, so they’ll stay for that, and not plan on racing the boat until later in the season for the Annapolis to Newport Race, June 5. In July, they’ll head to Cowes by way of Newport for the Transatlantic Race, sticking around Ireland

##Chris and Carolyn Groobey get ready to sail into 2015 in style.

##Chris and Carolyn Groobey will take delivery of their new Gunboat 55 in early January. Look for her on the Bay soon.

for Cowes Race Week on the Isle of Wight. Early fall will find them sticking around Europe, relaxing on the boat and sailing around France and Italy, but by mid-October they’ll be racing again in the Rolex Middle Sea Regatta. To wrap up 2015, they’ll be sailing in the ARC from the Canaries to St. Lucia.

For Terry Hutchinson, 2015 is all about a new compass heading. He writes, “Hard to believe that 2014 is in the books. Personally it has been an incredible year on the water, and I am always very thankful to the owners I work for and the teams I work with.

2015 is going to take a different tack.

The focus will be on Hap Fauth’s J/V 72 Bella Mente, Alex Roepers’s Farr 40 Plenty, Alessandro Rombelli’s Melges 32 Stig, and most importantly, time with my family. Our move back to Maryland after roughly 15 years of traveling the globe in search of the Holy Grail has come to a pause, only to find it at the end of a quarter mile

dirt road in Harwood….a.k.a. home!

I am looking forward to attempting to strike a balance of family and racing, executing on the race course, and Wednesday night racing with Mirage or my J/70 and the kids. Either will suit me just fine!”

For Adam Werblow, coach of the St. Mary’s College of Maryland sailing team, the 2015 sailing season will be here before we know it. “We’re pleased to be hosting several InterCollegiate events this coming spring, starting in mid-March with the St. Mary’s Team Race Inter-Conference, where 10 of the country’s top ranked team race sailing teams will come to the area. Then, March 21-22, the St. Mary’s Women’s Inter-Conference regatta will bring in 18 of the country’s top ranked women’s teams. Over the weekend of April 2526, we’ll host the MAISA Women’s Spring Dinghy Championships (the Mid-Atlantic National Qualifiers). And finally, July 31-August 1 brings the Governor’s Cup Yacht Race.” spinsheet.com

Walczak Yacht Brokerage Service has added Sandra Reyes to its sales team. Prior to joining the team as a broker, Sandra has had a successful career in sales and marketing as a real estate professional. Although new to their sales team, Sandra has been a part of the Walczak family since 2012 when she initially operated in a support role. walczakyacht.com

North Sails’s presence on the Chesapeake Bay continues to expand with the addition of two sales representatives who will be based at the North Sails office in Annapolis. James Allsopp, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, experienced sailor, and Annapolis native, has joined the North team, and Steve Pickel, former production manager at North Sails One Design in San Diego, CA, has joined the one design sales team.

Allsopp, who grew up around the sailmaking business, follows his father Jim Allsopp’s footsteps as he begins his sailmaking career with North Sails. “James has a lot of drive and is well liked by customers and local sailors, so I think he will be a great addition to our team,” said Jonathan Bartlett, loft manager. “I have grown up surrounded by the North Sails ‘family,’ and I am humbled and excited about my new role at North,” James said.

A J/24 National Champion, Pickel was recruited by Chris Snow in 2001 to work for North Sails. “I have had the privilege of working side-by-side with former North Sails One Design president Vince Brun from the start of my sailmaking career 13 years ago,” Pickel said. “Vince is very well respected and experienced within the sport of sailing and in many ways has prepared me for this new role as a sales representative in Annapolis.” northsails.com
