THE CRUISING CLUB OF AMERICA

The Cruising Club of America was launched in the winter of 192 1-22 by a g roup of yachtsmen interes ted in cruising a nd the development of the cruis ing ty pe of ya cht. It was felt that this branch of the s p o rt never had attained the position it deserves in a co untry so rich in sea-going tradition a nd w hose natural advantages are so peculiarly favorable to cruising, p ossibly because of the fact that th ere never has been any concerted action by cruising enthus iasts. The yacht clubs of the country have made racing a larg e part of the ir a c tivities and there are several inte r-club associa tions d evoted to the advancement of this bra nch of y a chting, but there never has been in this c o untry an organization comparable, for example, to the Royal Cruising Club, which, in the las t forty y e ars, has done so much toward making cruising a nationa l institution in Great Britain. And so the Cruis ing Club of America was launched and it was but natural that its founders, familiar as they were with the work of the Royal Cruising Club, should have moulded it somewhat along the lines of the older organization.

THE BLUE WATER MEDAL

Feeling that there were many noteworthy voyages made in small boats, and frequent examples or meritorious seamanship displayed by amateur sailors of all nationalities that went unrecognized, it seemed to the members of the Cruising Club of America that this organization was the fitting one to properly record and reward such adventure upon the sea. Therefore, at the annual meeting on February 27, 1923, the following resolution was passed, founding a medal that, it was hoped, might prove an incentive for carrying on the spirit of adventure and upholding the best traditions of seafaring that are our heritage from the past. "Moved and seconded that the Club found, out of funds to be sought for the purpose, a medal to be known as The Blue Water Medal of the Cruising Club of America, to be awarded annually, in the discretion of the Board of Governors, for the year's most meritorious example of seamanship, the recipient to be sele cted from among the amateurs of all the nations."' In pursuance of this resolution a suitable medal, five inches in diameter, was made, the desig n being by Arthur Sturgis Hildebrand, a member of the Club.

WINNER FOR

1923

In the op1mon of the Board of Governors the most meri• torious a c hievement of the year 1923 was that of Alain J. G e rba ult, a citizen of Fra nce, wto, sin gle-handed, sailed the little cutter Firecres t from Gibraltar to New York in the summer of that year, and the first Blue Water M e dal was, therefore awarded to him. The vessel in which this passage was made was an old style British cutter, built in 1891 from d esigns by Dixon K e mp. She was of a type popular some thirty years ago, n arrow and d eep, with a plumb s t e m and a Rush deck. She was 3 5 feet over all, 3 0 feet on the water, with 8 ½ fe et beam and a draft of 7 feet, b e ing t hick in the garboards with a weak bilge. She was heavily built, with oa k pla nking below the water line and t eak a b ove. In spite of her age, her hull was in fin e condition a nd h er b a llast c onsisted of a long lead s hoe on h e r k eel, its exact weight b e ing unknow n, with s ome 3000 lbs . of lead ins ide. She carried a typical cutter rig with a long r eefin g or housing bowsprit, the jib and jibtopsail being set flying. In addition to the mainsail and forestaysail, and the two sails already mentioned, she carried a topsail a nd a s quaresail for use in running. H er main boom was fitt ed with a roller reefing gear. After sailin g Firecrest from En gland , where h e purchased h er, to the s outh of France, G erbault fitte d h e r out at Gibraltar for the Trans-At la ntic voyage, sailing from that port June 7th for New York, w here he a rrived September 15th. On a ll of this passage t he skipper was absolute ly a lone on the little ship. 0

Leavin g Gibraltar the Firecrest laid a course to the southwest in orde r to work down to the northeast trade wind b elt. On the third day out the first of his difficulties arose when he stripped the worm on his roller reefing gear, which turned out to be too lig ht for the size boo m that he carried. Althoug h there was no reef points in the sail, G e rbault refused to be

discouraged and for the res t of the passa ge reefed his sail by lowering away and rolling the foot around the boom by hand. Striking the no r the a st t rades, Firecres t" s c ours e was changed to the westward, and for the following days s he exp erie nced the b est sailing of her trip. On the rest of the passa g e the weather seemed to alternate betwee n calms, s qualls and heavy winds, muc h of the time, the wind being ahead. The sails of Firccrest, being old, wer e constantly b e ing blow n out, a nd the skippe r spent much of his lim e r epairing and patchin g t h em. To add to his difficulties, his bowsprit carri ed a way at the gammon iron when th e s hip was bucking a h ead sea. Unshipping the butt end, h e slipped the i:iowsprit, wh ich was han ging by the bobs tay, throu g h the gammon i:on and was able to p r oceed. Later, the eye s plice on h is shrouds carried away, but g oin g aloft, the s kipper m anaged lo r epair this damage and k e pt plugging to the wes tward. A pproaching the American Coas t, more w esterly gales were encountered a nd the little cutter was driven to the eastward as more sails w ere blown away. Eig hty-four days out from Gibraltar h e spoke a Greek steam e r, the first ship s ighted since leaving Gibraltar, and a supply of fresh w a t er and a bag of ship"s bisquite were put aboard. Twelve days later, or ninety-six d ays from Gibraltar , land was finally s i g hted, which proved to be Nantucket. Working slowly to the westward past Block Island, the skipper bore up throu g h the Rac e and came up throu g h Long Island Sound, finally dropping anchor off Fort Totten, at Whitestone, L. I. on Septembe r 15th just one-hundred days from Gibraltar. It is interestin g to note that G e rbault picked out White• stone a s his destination because it was the home of a member of the Cruising C lub, William Washburn Nutting, whose voyage in the '"Typhoon" two years before had given Firecrest's skipper the inspiration for this single- handed voyage which will go on record as one of the most remarkable of all time.

WINNER FOR 1925. For 1925 the Blue \Vater Medal was awarded to an American, Harry Pidgeon, of Los Ang eles, who, on Octobe r 3 I st of tha t y e ar completed a 35,000 mile voya ge around the wo rld s ingle-h a nded in the little yawl Islander, 34-feet long , which he built himself. In the entire annals of the sea no more note worthy achie vement than this remarka ble voyage has been r ecorde d, for Pidgeon w as not a s e a farin g man by calling, but an a mateur s ailor, a native of Iowa, whose s ailing knowled ge all came from the love of the s ea a nd who had not, be fore s tarting on this voyage, vis ite d a s ingle one of the s pots h e touche d at during the four years h e took to circumnavigate the globe ; nor had h e any previous knowle d ge of the waters throug h which h e sailed. The building of the Islande r was beg un in 19 1 8 at Los Angeles Harbor. She is a d e ve lopment of the Seabird, designed by C. D. Mower, in a 25-foot model of which Thomas Fleming Day cros sed the Atlantic 15 years a g o. She is 34 feet lo n g ove rall, with IO feet, 6 inches beam and a draft of 5 fee t. S he carries 1,200 pounds of iron a s outs ide ballast on her keel and has oome 300 pounds more inside . Her 634 fe et of workin g canvas is h e r s ole motive powe r and of her two suits of ten-ounce s ails Pidgeon himse lf made one. The Isla nder is s trongly built but not of heavy construction. She is s o w e ll fas tene d, howeve r, that she c ame bac k after h e r s e veral b eachings and m a ny buffe tings without having open ed a s ing le s eam. H e r re markable ability, according to Harry, lies in the fact that s he gave be fore the seas, like a ballasted cork, rather than sma shing into the m . Whe n the Islander was completed Pidgeon e xplored the Southe rn California coast and islands in her until th e spring of 192 0, whe n he s aile d to H a waii, r e turning later the same year. The n ext fall h e started on his world voyage. F or fo rty y ears, since he discovered Stev e n son, Pidg eon'a e yes ha d been on the Gre at Adventure. He decide d years ago that Ana h o Bay , in the Ma rques as, w as to b e his first objective, b e c a use it was the re that S t evenson firs t saw the South Sea s. A nd s o, on November 18, 1921, the lalander poke d h er nos e southward for the Isla nd of Nukuhiva . At sunrise, 43 days later, s he dropped anchor in Anaho Bay. The Islander spent four months in the Marquesas and Tuamotu Archipelago and then she sailed for Tahiti, arriving 40

at P apeete, May 20, 19 22. H e r c Pid geon had her hauled out for h er first o verhaul, and in July, he saile d for Samoa, r e ach in g P ago P ago, Augu s t I 0, 1922. His most e n joyable visit o f the e ntire voyage was in the Fiji' lslonds, w h ere h e spent six months. H e a rrive d a t Suva from Pag o Pago on November I 5th, and did not leave the Fijis u ntil the following sp ring of 19 23. From Fiji Pidgeon sailed to the New H ebrid es a nd it was while he was prowling about t hose islands tha t h e got his first taste of the old adventurous days of the South Seas. H e te lls of sudde nly roundin g a poin t and sailin g into a cove to find his boa t comple tely su r roun ded by canoes full of nake d savages. From Villa, N ew Hebrides, the Islander h eaded a gain to the w estwa rd, up th r oug h Torres S t raits to New Guinea, reaching Port Mores by o n June 6, 1923; Thursday Isla nd, and mid-Straits, July 5th; and Timor, an isla nd of the Dutch Eas t Indie s , a week la t e r. His last s top in the East Indies was at Christmas Is la nd, which o utpos t of Oceania was was touche d on August 20th. The Isla nder then ran across the India n Ocean in fast time, n e gotiatin g the 2, 900-mile r each before the s outheast Trad cs to Port Louis , Mauritius, in 25 days. S h e arrived at Ma uritius on September I 5, 1923 , a nd after sp e nding two months on the is la nd sailed for the African mainland, reaching Durban on Christmas Eve. On Febr uary 23, 192 4, Pidgeon sailed from Durba n on what he expected to b e the rou g h est p a ssage of the entire voyage-rounding the Cap e of Good Hope. He was 18 days in m akin g Cape Town and his expectations were e ntire ly fulfilled, the w hole 90 0 miles being a succession of either easterly or westerly gales. The little yawl was wet from truck t o keel, night a nd day, a nd e ither pounding into stiff seas of the westerly or running off b efor e an easterly gale with long, green seas rolling u p astern. On the last day of this p assage the Isla nder m a d e one of her b est runs of the v oyage, rounding Cape Agulhas at dawn a nd the Cape of Good Hope at s unset, logging better than I 00 miles in twelve hours. 41

News of the Islander's coming had preced e d h er to Cape fown a nd o n the morning of her arrival at th e South African metropolis s he and h e r s kipper w ere g r eet ed by t he entire squadron o f the Roya l Cape Yacht Club, of which Pidgeon was subsequently m ade a member. Nineteen months later, when the Islander completed h er g lo be belting at L os A n geles, the burgee of th e Royal Cape Yacht Club was Hyin g at h e r m ain truck. S tartin;; home from Cape Town in July, 19 24, Pidgeon met with his only serious accident of the c ruise on the second nig ht out, when the Isla nder ran ashore in Souh west Bay, 80 miles north of Cape Town. "'The boat was loafing along, sailing herself with an easy sea and light breeze", Pidgeon says, in recounting the incident. ·· 1 thoug ht 1 was far e noug h o ffs hore for safety a nd had g one b e low for a n ap when I felt her roll unde r a ground swell. I knew right away that things we~e getting t icklish but befo re I co uld g e t o n deck h e r keel began bumping rocks". L u c kily there was a s hort s tretch of sandy b each in b e tween the roc k s. and on this th e Islander fet c h ed up, right in the middle of it, and r es ted easily on h er s ide , hig h and dry. T he foilowing day, upon h earing of the Islander's mishap, m e mbe rs of the Royal Cape Y a c ht Club sen t out a tug and salvage crew from Cape Town, and three days later th e l ittle yawl ~as again afloat, as sound as the day she was buiit . Pidg eon warmly praises the spo rtsmanship of the Cape sailors and says but that for the ir assistan ce before and after his str anding, he could not hav e complete d the voyag e. The Islander m ade good time before the so uth east trades on the run up to St. Helena, and reached the is la nd of N apohon' s ex ile on October I 0, 1924. Among the men he met d uring h is month at St. Hele n a w as Captain E . A. Harper, t h e same man w ho nearly thirty years before had g ive n Captain J oshua S locum his famou s g oat, w hic h ate all the charts, whe n he was circumnavi gatin g the globe in the Spray. From S t. Helena t h e Islander ran across to Ascen s ion Island, the lon e ly cone in the middle of the South Atlantic, formerly u s ed to c h eck c hronometers by the old clipper s hip masters coming home fr o m the far east. 42

Continuing on, Pidg eon made F e rnando Noronha Isla nd off the coas t of Brazil, and proceede d a lon g the coast of South America to Trinidad.

. The Islander touched Ame rican territory for the first time m m a ny months on May 2, 1925, whe n she saile d into the port of Cristobal, Canal Zone. Passing thr oug h th e Canal thre e months w e re spe nt at Balboa , re fittin g for the last leg of the voya g e , th e 3 . 700-mile beat a gainst the northeast trades to Los An g el es-which was to r e quire 85 days .

\Vhile h e was at Balboa Pid g eon m e t A lain G e rba ult, the youthful French s portsman who crossed the Atlantic in the 36-foot sloop Firecrest in 1923. Gerbault, who had been knockin g about the \Vest Indie s, w a s then on his way to Easte r Island, and the two adventurers h a d quite a talk-fest, the skippe r of the Islander g iv ing G e rbault the b e nefit of his exp erie nce s with South Pac ific winds a nd currents. From Balboa the Islander ran 1,800 miles offshore before she h e aded north, going out to lon g itude I I 0 ° west and down to latitude 3 ° 4 3' north b e for e the trad es dwindled into the doldrums . She rolled about under the equatorial sun of the doldrums for two w eeks before s h e finally g ot a bree ze and heade d for home on the starboard tack. The big moment of the Islander's voyage came at noon, October 7. 1925, when sh e crosse d her own outbound course in latitude north 18 ° 30' lon g itude wes t 12 1 ° 15', thus completing the circumnavigation of the g lobe. H e r e Pidgeon thre w over the side a bottle, conta inin g a m e ssai;e with notic e of t he e v e nt. Outbound, the Islander had b een at that spot on D e c e mbe r 7, 19 2 1, requiring j u st 46 mon ths to a day to belt the world. The Islander sailed n orthward on tha t long s tarboard tack until sh e reached latitude north 30° and long itude w est 129 ° 30', about 750 miles o ff the C a lifornia coast, b efore her skipper broug ht h e r about on the port tack that w as to take h e r home . Tha t w a s on Octobe r I 8, and I 2 days la ter h e si g hte d the h eadla nds of S an C lem e nte Island, the fi rst land h e had seen since dropping Cape Mala astern n ea r ly th r e e months before. Just at noon the next day. October 3 1, 192:i, h e passed in by Bre akwate r Lig ht, 1,44 I days, I 7 hours and 30 minute s, ' •out a nd bac k". 43
