A By Mary South
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. — John Steinbeck 14
bout a month ago, I closed the sale on my Cape Dory FB 28 and moved her from Maryland to Connecticut. I brought along the family: two old Jack Russell terriers and a wonderful first mate, who is invaluable for moral support but otherwise inexperienced at sea. It was a great trip, though it got off to a rocky start. About two and a half hours after we left Annapolis on a Monday around noon, the boat went from a happy 3,000 rpm to dead in the water, quite suddenly. The Racor filter looked pretty clean, but we could find no other obvious cause of the problem, so we replaced it. Sidelined by a severe storm front the next day, we cast off again on Wednesday. From then on, Matinicus ran like a champ, and each day I fell a little more in love with her. She’s not as fast I had originally hoped, but she’s a heck of a lot speedier than Bossanova, and that was my goal. We did more than 14 knots coming down Delaware Bay to Cape May, New Jersey — with full fuel and water! It was scorchingly hot and blindingly bright, but once we were through the C&D Canal a light breeze wafted across the flat bay, and it felt great to be afloat again after several years ashore. From Cape May, we ran to Manasquan Inlet, New Jersey. It was the sort of day where you’d rather not go out if you didn’t have to — rainy and gray with scattered thunderstorms — but seas were only 1 to 3 feet, and we were staying near-coastal. After a long day of watching the Jersey shoreline creep by, we tied up at dusk at Hoffman’s East marina in Brielle. It’s a favored spot of sport fishermen, and its certified scales have held many a record-breaker. Currents really rip through the Manasquan River, but the dockmaster, Mike, is one of the best line handlers I’ve seen and incredibly helpful. We went in search of breakfast sandwiches before pushing off the next morning, which (deliciously) delayed our departure. And when I realized I’d forgotten to buy water, a guy who had been admiring my boat was nice enough to offer me a ride to a nearby convenience store. Turns out he was Larry Grafis, the owner of the marina and Mike’s dad. He bought Hoffman’s several years ago when it was down on its luck, rebuilt the
SOUNDINGSONLINE.COM SEPTEMBER 2015
docks and upgraded the facilities. He has put together a very impressive operation. Day three was just gorgeous. Sunny, warm, breezy, with 3-foot seas — absolutely ideal. With a song in my heart, I put us on a direct course for Shinnecock Inlet, straight across the approach to New York, which we could see off in the distance, looking like a miniature version of the real thing. By the time we made it through the inlet and out of Shinnecock Canal to Little Peconic Bay, it was early evening. We were low on fuel, and I didn’t want to run at night, but we were soooo close … We decided to give it a shot and headed across Long Island Sound for the mouth of the Connecticut River. The sky was turning a deep pink and orange as we drew nearer to our home port, but darkness fell with the finality of a guillotine as we waited for the eternally malfunctioning Old Saybrook-Old Lyme drawbridge to open. My nav lights, which were fine the day before, were suddenly not working, and I was exhausted. Though we were within a few miles of our slip and the end of our trip, we turned back and tied up at the fuel dock at Saybrook Point. The better part of valor is discretion, as the Bard said. The next morning, as I dodged enormous limbs floating downstream, carried by recent storm runoff, I knew for sure we’d done the right thing. And when we were tied in our slip and washing down the boat by 9 a.m., I felt like a very tired million bucks. As always, there were valuable lessons. Never again will I take the helm solo for a delivery run like this without an autopilot. I’m too old to steer by compass for 10 hours at a time, three days in a row. When we tied up each evening, I more or less collapsed as soon as the last cleat was wrapped. And though scheduling demands forced our pace, there’s no reason good enough to take what could be a pleasant journey and turn it into an endurance feat. I’ll take the boat to Maine next year, but I will add an autopilot first, or bring along someone who can spell me at the helm or — maybe best of all — plan on taking twice as long and running half days, with more time to stop and explore along the way. After all, arriving is just a flimsy excuse for undertaking the journey. n

SHARED PASSIONS I enjoyed Mary South’s “Underway” column in the August issue. Indeed, I believe E.B. White said it best: South’s Cape Dory 28 Flybridge
If a man must be obsessed by something, I suppose a boat is as good as anything, perhaps a bit better than most. A small sailing craft is not only beautiful, it is seductive and full of strange promise and the hint of trouble. If it happens to be an auxiliary cruising boat, it is without question the most compact and ingenious arrangement for living ever devised by the restless mind of a man — a home that is stable without being stationary, shaped less like a box than like a fish or a bird or a girl, and in which the homeowner can remove his daily affairs as far from shore as he has the nerve to take them, close-hauled or running free — parlor, bedroom, and bath, suspended and alive.

reat story by Mary South on Blake Mycoskie and his company, TOMS, [“Keeping it Real,” August]. I am a member of Lions Clubs International. One of the primary goals of the Lions is sight. There are 7 million Lions members in almost every country. I saw a film at a golf tournament of the Lions and their doctors in Central or South America. Children and 50-, 60-year-old people were tested and fitted with glasses. It was the first time in their lives they had seen. Pretty neat stuff, brought tears to the room. If these two organizations were to get together, what could happen?
I want to thank Mary South for bringing her human and poetic sensibility to Soundings. As I rode the No. 2 train this morning to downtown Brooklyn to spend my day hearing appeals of Medicaid cases, I read her “Why a boat?” (harkening to the Marx Brothers routine “Why a Duck?”) and was struck by her statement that it’s “important to feed and care for the heart, to keep the spirit unbruised enough to take in all the beauty and kindness this complicated and unjust world still has to offer.” I will be thinking about it this weekend as I sail my Sunfish around the backside of a little island in Great South Bay. Keep up the great work! Ethan Finneran New York, New York

The debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is lethal to marine life.
It’s time to clean up our giant ocean messes … but how?
“It seemed unbelievable, but I never found a clear spot. In the week it took to cross the subtropical high, no matter what time of day I looked, plastic debris was floating everywhere — bottles, bottle caps, wrappers, fragments.” This August, 50 vessels — at least a dozen of them sailboats returning from this year’s Transpac — will steer parallel courses across the North Pacific from Hawaii to California dragging small surface trawls called Mantas to collect plastic debris and record sightings of large plastic flotsam on smartphone apps. The Ocean Cleanup, an international grassroots organization (theoceancleanup. By Jim Flannery com) led by 21-year-old Dutch visionary Boyan Slat, says the project ighteen years ago this summer, Capt. Charles Moore was is designed to measure the amount and distribution of plastic in the sailing home aboard his 50-foot catamaran after the Trans- Great Pacific Garbage Patch and will be the “largest ocean research pacific Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu, and he expedition in history.” It will cover 3.5 million square kilometers and set the stage for discovered a plastic debris field in the North Pacific that was twice the size of Texas. It has since become known as the Great the rollout of Slat’s ambition to clean up the Garbage Patch and four others like it around the globe through the deployment of Pacific Garbage Patch. “As I gazed from the deck at the surface of what ought to have been booms to capture the surface garbage and direct it to enormous a pristine ocean, I was confronted, as far as the eye could see, with the storage bins so it can be recycled. “When you want to clean the oceans, it is important to know how sight of plastic,” Moore, the founder of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, later wrote in an article for Natural History magazine. much plastic is out there,” Slat said earlier this year when he announced what the group calls the Mega Expedition. Estimates of the amount vary by several orders of magnitude. “The Mega Expedition will allow us to produce the first-ever high-resolution estimate of the amount of plastic inside the Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” he says. In addition to the Transpac’s support, the effort has won the endorsement of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who has said, “It’s this type of creative and large-scale thinking that we need to tackle problems like this.” “It’s a pretty ambitious program,” says Transpac spokesman Dobbs Davis. “The idea is to have people go through the Pacific High and get a readout of what’s out there.” The Ocean Cleanup, which has raised more than $2 milThis graphic shows lion from 38,000 people in 160 countries in a non-profit how vessels will sail crowd-sourcing campaign, was offering voyagers as much while collecting plastic as $10,000 per boat to offset some of the costs of making the debris during the 2,500-mile voyage.

Capt. Charles Moore has sailed to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch 10 times over the past 20 years on his 50-foot catamaran, Alguita (“kelp” in Spanish), and each time he has been struck by the growing size and density of the plastic debris field. “I don’t call it a patch anymore,” he says. “It’s a gyre. It’s getting worse,” not just off California but also along the western edge of the subtropical convergence zone, off Japan and China. Our throwaway society, which wraps, bottles and boxes an endless array of goods in plastic, is spreading like a contagion to developing nations, China especially, Moore says. In regions where mass-consumption economies are just taking off and there are no curbside pickups or landfills to dispose of garbage, rivers are filling with plastics and spilling this non-biodegradable refuse into the oceans, he says. Last summer, on his most recent research voyage to the Pacific Gyre, he found an 80-footlong island of plastic that he could literally stand on. It was held together by giant aquaculture buoys and ropes unleashed from Japan by the March 2011 tsunami. Moore, who discovered the Garbage Patch in 1997 while sailing home after competing in the Transpacific Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu, has been advocating a combination of initiatives to address the sea of plastics: Study the gyres, educate consumers about proper plastics disposal, look for ways to keep plastics out of the ocean and jawbone Moore says the debris field in the Pacific is companies to use less plasgetting worse. He found an island of plastic tic, both in packaging and (right) during his most recent research trip. manufacturing. The 68-year-old Moore — founder of Algalita, a Long Beach, California, marine education and research institute dedicated to a plastics-free ocean environment — says the time has come for some carefully directed efforts to use technology to clean up the plastics, but he characterizes Boyan Slat’s “passive pool sweep of the entire ocean” as “loco.” The oceans are just too big to clean up using passive methods, and the booms Slat proposes would be too disruptive to the water-surface ecology, though Slat and his Ocean Cleanup organization say their feasibility studies suggest otherwise. Moore says we’re ruining the oceans with plastics and shouldn’t make it worse using massively scaled, disruptive technology to try to clean up. “Sometimes it’s the fantasy solutions that get all the publicity and the money,” he says. He would deploy specially designed cleanup vessels to scoop up 100-mile-long lines of debris that accumulate along the longitudinal axis of Langmuir cells — counter-rotating cylinders of water at the surface that line up with the prevailing winds, dredge up debris and deposit it on top of the water in what are called “wind rows.” That, combined with filtering out plastics where runoff enters sewers and the ocean, is more feasible, he says. Moore says he has been working with Stiftelsen Det Norske Veritas, Norway’s ship classification society, on a design for an ocean cleanup vessel. He believes booms such as Slat’s, if given a more sophisticated design, could be used as plastic catch devices in storm-water sluices that carry runoff to the ocean. A symposium on ocean cleanup technology has been tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2016 at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, California, according to Moore. “Plastics in the ocean are the new apex predator,” he says. “They’re killing more stuff than any animal in the ocean.” — Jim Flannery

currents passing through the Tsushima Strait deposit 30,000 square meters of trash onto the island’s shores each year. The city government of Tsushima now manually cleans up the trash at a cost of $5 million a year. Target date for deploying a 100-kilometer array in the Garbage Patch is 2017. “Human history is basically a list of things that couldn’t be done — but then were done,” says Slat, speaking about The Ocean Cleanup last year in New York City. He believes he and his team are ready to do the impossible: retrieve a big chunk of the plastic that we have indiscriminately dumped into the world’s oceans. n

seas to keep from breaking apart. As the current flows beneath the array, the booms capture plastics in the top 2 to 3 meters of the gyre, where 80 percent of the plastics in the top 5 meters lies. The current slowly moves the captured debris down the length of the booms to the center of the array — its vertex — where small debris is pumped into a large storage bin and separated from the water, using centrifugal force, and large debris is scooped and deposited into the bin using a mesh conveyor. A vessel empties the bin every six weeks or so, and the plastics are transported to shore for conversion to oil. Slat and a team of 100 volunteer scientists, engineers and economists have compiled a 500-page feasibility study showing that passive cleanup can work. They estimate it will take three to six years for the water in a gyre to complete a rotation through the boom; they plan to keep an array in place in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch for 10 years, long enough to clean up 42 percent of the plastics there — about 70,320,000 kilograms. Estimated cost of the cleanup: $5 a kilogram. The Ocean Cleanup says its focus for this year and next is the Mega Expedition, and the design and deployment of the first operational plastics cleanup array — 2,000 meters long — off Japan’s Tsushima Island, where

f you’ve ever been to Newport, Rhode Island, or to any of the world’s great classic yacht regattas, you have seen them: the stunning — and winning — W-Class sailing yachts. In 1997, Boston real estate developer and passionate sailor Donald Tofias approached designer Joel White, of Brooklin Boatyard in Maine, with an idea to revive one-design match racing and spirit-oftradition yachting. “The vision that propelled me to develop these inspiring vessels was the ideal to compete in big, identical boats with identical equipment so that at the end of an exciting, close, competitive race, the best sailor wins. This is boat-on-boat, crew-on-crew competition,” Tofias has said. Today there are W-Class designs in 22-, 37-, 46-, 76- and 100-foot lengths (W-class.com). The first W-Class 22, Filly (pictured here), was recently launched, and a second, Colt, is on the way. Combining the best of old and new, the yachts are coldmolded, with modern rigging systems and carbon fiber masts. The private owners of several W-46s compete in races throughout New England. Wild Horses and White Wings, both W-76s, are campaigned in regattas all over the world. Wild Horses and White Wings are also available for charter and have become a treasured part of many a sailor’s pilgrimage to Newport, where you can experience them on a day sail. First memory of being on a boat: Sailing in an old catboat on Buzzards Bay at age 5. First boat you owned: Alcort Super Sailfish, age 12, bought with my own savings. Last or current boat: Just launched the new W-22, Filly. Hopefully selling whole fleets. Favorite boat you’ve owned: Whatever boat I’m on. My day at the office is always on a boat. Your dream boat: Our new W-100, which we developed over the past few years.

Most rewarding professional experience: Creating and running the W-Class Yacht Co. since 1996. Your scariest adventure aboard: Chartering the J-Class yacht Shamrock V in the early 1990s. The yacht’s engineer lost his finger at the start of a race. We were able to get him admitted that day to Massachusetts General Hospital. An expert hand surgeon there reattached the finger. Your most memorable experience aboard: Doing the America’s Cup Jubilee at Cowes in southern England, summer of 2001. The best day was the round island race day — 150 years to the day, plus a day, of the original race around the Isle of Wight. Longest time you’ve spent aboard: The first time we had the W-76s Wild Horses and White Wings in the western Mediterranean, in the summer of 1999. I was on board the month of June and for six weeks in late August through early October that fall. Favorite destination so far: My current one, wherever that might be, but it’s always lots of fun sailing back home into Newport. Favorite nautical book: First You Have to Row a Little Boat by Richard Bode. Favorite nautical cause you support and why: Sail Newport. Brad Read does a great job teaching hundreds of kids to sail every year, plus running dozens of local, national and international regattas. Where else in the world does a not-for-profit sailing organization control such a major piece of harbor frontage? Only here in Newport, Rhode Island, USA. Favorite quote about the sea: “Yachting is the winner!” We trademarked that line a few years ago, and we live that slogan with a passion!

he two men were shooting pool at Jim’s Place in Southwest Harbor, on Mount Desert Island in Maine. It was 1946, World War II was over, and people were starting to think about getting back to normal. “If I had a place to build a boat, I would do so instead of wasting my time playing pool,” said fisherman and charter skipper Ray Bunker. “I have a shop, but I know very little about building a boat,” replied Ralph Ellis. “If you wish, I will put up my shop against your know-how.” And so the partners launched what became one of the best-known boatbuilding endeavors on the Eastern Seaboard. For the next three
decades, Bunker & Ellis turned out elegant “lobster yachts” for Maine’s wealthy summer residents and pretty much invented the Down East look we know today. The boat here is a 42-footer that was launched as Water Rat in 1956 for businessman R.S. Parker. She’s a good example of a Bunker & Ellis — a premium version of the Down East lobster boat. Built with oak frames and cedar planking, she shows the workboat’s characteristic round bilges and long keel. She’s a twin-screw model, though most B&Es were powered by a single engine. With her brightfinished trunk cabin and distinctive three-panel windshield, she’s a
spruced-up lobster boat, offered as a comfortable dayboat and overnighter, with bunks, a galley and a head below. The last Bunker & Ellis — hull No. 58 — left the shop in 1978. Known today as Ellis Boats and run by Ellis’ grandsons Anthony and Shane, the company founded in a pool hall continues to launch its boats in Southwest Harbor. Meanwhile, the original Bunker & Ellis yachts — many of which are still turning heads — have a loyal and devoted following. Water Rat underwent an extensive restoration at Pendleton Yacht Yard in Isleboro, Maine, and now enjoys life as Bellatrix. — Steve Knauth

These boats are resininfused, a process that distributes the precise amount of resin throughout the build by using a vacuum to remove air and excess resin, yielding a solid structure with no internal voids. It ensures that the right amount of resin is used to bond the fiberglass fabrics and composite coring material. “We were an early adopter of the infusion process, and we’ve been able to tune that up over the years,” says Shaw. “We have changed the design of our fiberglass fabrics over time to give us a thinner skin with the same structural

hen you think about Maine boats, you probably envision semidisplacement Down East cruisers, as opposed to high-tech 100-foot sailboats built for shattering speed records. Hodgdon Yachts is celebrating 200 years of boatbuilding and is today crafting a diverse fleet of some of the finest custom boats using advanced composite construction. Earlier this year, Hodgdon was named the Innovator of the Year — an award given to a company that is competing globally through new products or processes — by the Maine International Trade Center. One contribution toward earning this award is the Hodgdon-built 100-foot super maxi Comanche, which in July set a new 24-hour distance record for a monohull during the Transatlantic Race. The purpose-built speedster covered 618.01 nautical miles in 24 hours (a 25.75-knot average speed), making Comanche the fastest sailing monohull in the world. “Our top speeds were into the mid-30s a bunch of times,” skipper Ken Read says in a statement. “The boat is amazing. You sail it heeled over, and it feels like you are right on the edge, but when you grab the wheel you are in control. The boat is a phenomenal piece of machinery.” The mold used for the prepreg carbon fiber hull is one of the largest single hull infusions ever done in the United States, according to Hodgdon, and one of a handful on this scale worldwide.

abre, Hinckley and Southport are putting their high-tech processes to use with new builds. Sabre is preparing to launch its largest boat, Southport is introducing a new take on its 27-foot center console, and Hinckley is staying true to its roots with a new sailboat. The 66 Dirigo is Sabre’s flagship, a threestateroom Down East-style yacht powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS pod drives. Her open design features a spacious cockpit and full-beam master stateroom below the helm deck. The Dirigo (pronounced dee-ree-go), as her designer Kevin Burns puts it, is the “highest expression of Sabre yet.” Hull No. 1 will launch this fall,
and the yacht (base price $3 million) will be officially introduced at the 2016 Miami International Boat Show in February. Dirigo is Maine’s state motto; it means “I lead” in Latin. Southport is following the launch of its 33-foot flagship with a new 27-footer, the 272 TE. Based on its 27-foot center console, this Tournament Edition features a coffin box in place of the forward wraparound seating, an improved live well in the transom, a redesigned console and helm pod, and a redesigned T-top and leaning post. The 272 TE with a single 300-hp outboard will be priced at $141,900. Look for this boat and the next generation of Southport’s 29-foot center
console at the fall boat shows. Hinckley is well-known for its Picnic Boat and Talaria jet-driven powerboats, but it’s also known for its elegant sailboats. In fact, for the first time in more than 10 years the builder has four sailboats in production, including the new Bermuda 50, a versatile sloop that delivers sleek looks and racing performance. She was designed by Bill Tripp III for club and offshore racing, as well as family cruising. The boat features a carbon Kevlar composite hull, a hydraulic lifting keel and an 80-foot rig for its 1,624 square feet of sail. Base price is $635,000. — Rich Armstrong
resin out of the boat and increase the amount of laminate, which adds to the structural integrity,” he says. “Building a heavy boat to achieve a smooth ride in a seaway is unnecessary. It’s our boat’s center of gravity — you have to nail it — and weight distribution, along with the deep-vee hull form, that give it that ride. It may feel heavy underneath you, but it’s not.” A lighter boat with today’s engines is a one-two punch that pays off at the pump, says Collins. “There is a huge difference in fuel economy between the pod boats that are built lighter and the solid fiberglass boats from the last generation with twin diesel engines,” he says. All three builders agree that if a boat is engineered to accept the latest propulsion and control systems, it only makes sense to build it with advanced materials and methods that maximize strength while saving weight. “The engines are efficient, so why would you build an inefficient hull?” says Robinson. “The benefit of all this is speed, fuel efficiency and general boat performance,” adds Burr. “By being able to keep the weight down and the stiffness of the parts up, you come away with a really great ride. It is part of what we do. When you drive a Hinckley, it’s quick, nimble, and it feels right. And that is a sum of a lot of small parts.” It doesn’t really matter whether the average customer knows the difference between woven roving and tri-axial stitched fiberglass fabrics, says Collins. “The customer is into the experience,” he says. “They want the fuel economy, the performance, the quiet ride and the comfort — they want all of those benefits. We have to deliver it to them, and the construction is Vacuum infusion technology allows builders such as Southport to produce lighter, stiffer boats by a big part of that.” n distributing the precise amount of required resin uniformly and consistently. qualities. We are optimizing the resin uptake in the laminate.” A resin-infused, close-molded hull can weigh 20 to 25 percent less than a hand-laid one, says Burr. Hinckley uses an infusion method known as SCRIMP (Seemann Composites Resin Infusion Molding Process), “one of the first widely accepted resin infusion processes for large parts,” says Burr, who has a chemical engineering degree and has been with Hinckley since 1999. “We were on the ground floor when SCRIMP was being developed.” Southport has been infusing its hulls since 2011 — the year the company moved to Maine, says Robinson. “We were able to take

FAIRTRANSPORT
— Fairtransport’s Andreas Lackner Bostonians will be able to buy Maine produce, much of it organic, transported by sail. Is this just a stroll down memory lane to the days when sailing ships — some of them blazingly fast clippers, such as Donald McKay’s East Boston-built Flying Cloud — delivered people and products across oceans with no engines, no exhaust, no carbon footprint? Well, yes, it does celebrate those great sailing vessels and the men (and some women) who crewed them, and the ships’ role in knitting together producers and consumers in local, regional and global economies. But it’s much more than that, says Severine von Tscharner Fleming, founder of Greenhorns, an Essex, New York, nonprofit dedicated to encouraging, supporting and providing helpful information to young farmers. Tscharner Fleming also is a prime mover in Maine Sail Freight, a group that promotes rediscovery of historic trade routes that linked small farmers, consumers and entrepreneurs along the New England coast and sustained their communities. ”This is not just an historic re-enactment,” she says. “It’s recognizing the historic infrastructures and recognizing the dynamism of those models.” A case in point from the history books: In the 1880s, steamboats would leave Eastport, Maine, at 6 p.m. laden with sardines, lamb, beef, eggs and other farm-fresh foods, and arrive in Boston by midnight in time to unload the cargo and deliver it to the markets for the opening of business that morning, Tscharner Fleming says. In a time of experimentation with alternative energy sources, moving freight by sail over time-tested trade routes seems to some a sensible template for the future. Maine Sail Freight and other visionary efforts to test sail-based trade for the 21st century around the country — New England, the Pacific Northwest, the Great Lakes, Hawaii — and in Europe and the Caribbean seek to address a host of concerns: getting back to the land, a healthy piece of land, and to a simpler lifestyle through small-scale farming; decentralizing “big agriculture” and connecting small producers directly with consumers in local and regional economies; addressing climate change and greenhouse gases

with a cleaner, sail-driven freight distribution system; creating “sustainable and resilient” communities able to survive and even thrive as oil becomes more scarce, more costly and harder to find; and applying new technologies so sail systems can be scaled up to power big, modern, green cargo carriers. “There are many, many factors that figure into this,” says Jan Lundberg, a onetime oil industry analyst and founder of the Sail Transport Network, which connects traders and sailors, farmers and craftsmen, artists and merchants who believe that fossil-fuel-based transportation is on its last legs. Lundberg argues that use of “conventional oil” — easy to extract, with a high energy yield — reached a peak in 2005. “We’ve been on a plateau since then,” he says. “Heavy oil, oil extracted from tar sands, deep-ocean oil and biofuels have extended the ride of a consumer economy based on fossil fuel.” He and others say now is the time to prepare for that ride to end. Europeans, who rely heavily on foreign oil to drive their economies, have made the most headway in reviving sail transport, though even there it still is very much a niche business. Founded in 2007 by three young Dutch sailors who met on the barque Europa, Netherlands-based Fairtransport is an “emission-free” shipping company. Its first ship, Tres Hombres, is a restored 1943 German minesweeper, a 105-foot wood-hulled cutter converted to a brigantine that carries up to 35 tons of cargo and operates without an engine under 12 sails. The company just launched a second ship, Nordlys, a restored 82foot fishing ketch with a 30-ton capacity built in 1873 on England’s Isle of Wight. Tres Hombres employs a core crew of five, plus 10 trainees who pay a fee to learn the ropes. She is making two trips a year from the Netherlands to the Caribbean. This spring Tres Hombres loaded up rum, molasses, cacao beans, cacao butter and organic coffee in the Dominican Republic, chocolate in Grenada, and tea and cans of tuna in the Azores, after dropping off gym equipment in Belém, Brazil, and Cape Verde, Portugal.

Next on its radar: a clipper ship that will carry cargo but also have comfortable cabins for 12 passengers, and a 425-foot, 8,000-ton motorsailer with four DynaRig square sails similar to those on the sailing yacht Maltese Falcon, which was built for American venture capitalist Tom Perkins in 2006. Fairtransport believes the DynaRig could deliver 60 percent fuel savings. “Will it be slower?’ asked Fairtransport partner Jorne Langelaan at a TED talk in Amersterdam. “No. It will not be slower. You use the engine when there’s no wind. You use the sail in good winds, and it goes faster than motorized ships.” Remember that Flying Cloud averaged 330 nautical miles a day — a speed of almost 14 knots — over three days between New York and San Francisco shortly after its launch in 1851. Although modern container ships can run 25 or 26 knots, most are throttling down to 16 to 18 knots to control their fuel costs, according to LloydsLoadingList.com. Others, too, are eyeing hybrid-powered container ships,
“Consumers care about those who provide their food. And they like the idea and the fanfare of locally produced food delivered by sail at the dock.” — Erik Andrus were looking for a business model that would allow them to work and sail together, built Grayhound themselves to work and live aboard with their infant son. Today Grayhound hauls wine, ale, tea, oats, buckwheat, onions, fennel, artichokes and chutney — as much as 4.5 tons of it — on a regular schedule on two cross-channel routes, one from Plymouth and Falmouth to Nante, France, where it loads up on wine for a return trip to Cornwall, and the other from Brixham to Douarnenez, France, to unload Devon ale and return with French onions. “The objective is to leverage traditional sailing cargo vessels such as the Grayhound as a way to protect our future, and to promote a logistical alternative that both looks at a carbon-free future in a more tangible way and fosters a paradigm-changing context,” says TransOcean’s Guillame LeGrande on Grayhound’s website. In America, shipping freight by sail has taken on a local and regional character, linking small farms and rural coops to urban consumers via small sailing vessels. Erik Andrus, a 43-year-old who raises rice and grass-fed beef, and runs a wood-fire bakery in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, gathered some grant money and volunteers to build a 39-1/2-foot freight hauler, Ceres. Based on a Thames River sailing barge, it cost less than $20,000. In the fall of 2013 and summer of 2014 Ceres hauled Vermont Nordlys will sail three times a year produce down the Champlain from Norway to Portugal, and from Canal and Hudson River to New France to England, Scandinavia and York City, stopping along the Germany carrying wine, fish, olive way to sell maple syrup, maple oil, ales and whiskey. sugar, apple butter, honey, sunflower oil, coffee, switchel, dried herbs, teas, preserves, various flours, grains and baking mixes, sauerkraut and pickles at farmers markets, fairs, yacht clubs, tug rendezvous and dockside popup markets. The Vermont Sail Freight Project, as he calls it, has collected 13 tons of goods from 37 farms and delivered it to about a dozen locations along the Champlain-Hudson trading route. “We ship a small quantity of produce a relatively short distance, and our prices are a little higher,” Andrus says. “But our products are special. We’re not looking to compete directly with the Stop & Shop.” Andrus says small-scale agriculture based on direct marketing and community support of locally produced foods is coming back to New England.

among them Rolls-Royce Holdings, the luxury automaker, which is partnering with B9 Shipping of Larne, Northern Ireland, to develop a design for a 330-foot freighter powered by automated sail and biomethane-fueled engines that could deliver fuel-efficiency gains of 55 percent. Some 60,000 bottles of fine wine from the Languedoc region of France — the first wine shipped out of that country by sail since the late 1800s — arrived in Dublin in March 2008 aboard the 170-foot three-masted barque Belem. Each bottle delivered by the 112-year-old ship was labeled “Carried by Sailing Ship,” a kind of affidavit that both the wine’s maker and its consumer are green-minded. That was the opening salvo of the sail freight business. Today, TransOceanic Wind Transport, an exportimport company in Brest, France, books premium-priced nichemarket cargos on sailing ships that have numbered as many as 10 over the last several years. They include Fairtransport’s vessels and the British speedster Grayhound, a replica of a 65-foot three-masted Cornish customs lugger used in the 18th century to chase and arrest smugglers.

“Consumers care about those who provide their food,” he says. And they like the idea and the fanfare of locally produced food delivered by sail at the dock. Andrus suspended operations this summer to develop a “capital development plan,” although he says Ceres might still make a run south after Labor Day. He says the organization may work its way up to larger vessels eventually. “There are 9 million people within walking distance of these waterways,” he says. Washington’s Puget Sound, with its maze of estuaries and islands, “is almost the perfect proving ground for sail cargo,” says Hoyle Hodges, one of the partners in the Olympia Schooner Co., based in Union, Washington. He says the tidal changes are extreme — as much as 16 feet twice a day — so you have to plan carefully and use the tides to your advantage to make time and minimize use of the engine. Hodges and his partners operate Pleiades, a 59-foot replica of an 1830s Eastport pinky schooner, as a charter boat, daysailer and — from time to time — a delivery boat plying the waters between the Olympia Farmers Market and communities along south Puget Sound. “We tried to target communities that have low to no access to fresh fruits and vegetables,” says Hodges, a retired Army command sergeant major who wrote a business plan for sail transport while studying at Evergreen State College.
Parts of Puget Sound are so rural that the closest grocery store may be 45 miles away, but Hodges says aside from knowing how to work the tides, you have to find places to dock and spend a lot of time building relationships with vendors and consumers. “This can be a viable business if you have the right geography and the right prices and the right business plan and the right boat,” he says. The historic “mosquito fleet” of small passenger- and freight-carrying sternwheelers, steamers and sailboats that plied Puget Sound in the 19th and early 20th centuries has inspired Hodges and others — such as the Salish Sea Trading Cooperative, which has been making twice-monthly deliveries of fresh organic vegetables between the Olympic Peninsula and local farmers markets on three sailboats — to revive maritime transport in and around Seattle and the San Juan Islands. Despite the benefits of sail in reducing reliance on oil, Sail Transport Network’s Lundberg says movers and shakers in the shipping industry “look at sail transport as some kind of pitiful upstart that can’t compete with the big boys. You won’t find anybody who will admit that sail power is a form of renewable energy.” He expects many to change their tune when the era of cheap oil draws to a close, which he says is only a matter of time. n

Now that’s paying off.

t was 2008, in the throes of the Great Recession. Boatbuilding had dried up. Crews were laid off. Longtime builders know these things are cyclical: Discretionary spending goes away when the economy goes south, but eventually business picks up again. You hunker down and wait. That’s what Stewart Workman did. Workman is the owner of SW Boatworks in Lamoine, Maine — at the time, a small shop with several craftsmen who finished fiberglass hulls, produced by other yards, for boaters, as well as commercial and sport fishermen. Many of the hulls that passed through Workman’s doors were designed and produced by Calvin Beal Jr., who lived farther east
S C H R E I B E R along the coast on Beals Island, named for his 18th century forebears and still home to many descendants. Beal began building boats, first wood and later fiberglass, in the early 1970s, and his was one of many boat shops in the community. His designs were hugely popular with lobstermen, and they were Workman’s favorite. Over the years, the two men got to know each other. Workman knew, for example, that Beal was thinking about getting out of boatbuilding to concentrate on his other job, lobster fishing. In fact, Workman had approached Beal two or three times about laying up the Beal molds himself, to keep his own production line going at a steady clip. A year or two passed, the men playing cat-and-mouse. When the recession steamrolled in, work orders and income dropped off at Workman’s shop. And that’s when Beal told Workman he’d had enough of the business. Did Workman want to buy the molds?

Workman had been around long enough to know that customers would eventually circle back for new boats. So despite the drop-off in business, he stretched himself and made the deal. “I came home, and my knees were shaking some. I said, ‘Man! I just spent some money!’ ” he recalls, taking a break from a busy day at his yard. “The economy was going to pieces, and I realized that if we didn’t have our own line of boats when the economy came back, we’d be out of business. Either we were smart or we were lucky, but it was the right decision to make. Calvin Beal boats were popular as it was, even through the slow economy, and there was enough trickling through to keep the lights on until things picked up and we started to get crew back.” Workman grew up in Prospect Harbor, Maine, where his father was a lobster buyer, so he was more or less raised on boats. When he was 6 or 7, he scraped up scrap plywood along the shore, built a shelter on a derelict punt, painted it black and stuck on an old tailpipe he’d found on the road for a make-believe exhaust. “Of course, the thing leaked like a sieve,” he says. “I used to row it around and scoop out the water.” The family moved to nearby Winter Harbor, and Workman started SOUNDINGSONLINE.COM SEPTEMBER 2015

apt. Dave Carraro’s Calvin Beal-designed boat — at 44 feet LOA and with a beam of 17.6 feet — is longer and wider than his previous, a Duffy 38. Carraro was looking for a stable platform with plenty of space on deck and in the wheelhouse for the safety and comfort of his charter guests and crew. Carraro is one of the stars of the National Geographic Channel’s show Wicked Tuna, which follows the work of Gloucester, Massachusetts, fishermen who use rod-and-reel to catch giant bluefin, which can fetch as much as $20,000 per fish. Carraro says producers contacted him as one of the fleet’s top fishermen. A cameraman/producer is with the crew 24/7 for 10 weeks. Each captain is portrayed as a “character,” reaching different audience demographics, says Carraro. “Tyler’s the young guy, for the younger generations,” he says. “Dave Marciano is the family man.” Carraro is positioned as “competitive” and “sneaky” on the Wicked Tuna website. “We’re at the top of our game, catching two to three times as many as all the other boats. The guy catching the fish is the one everybody’s going to hate, so I’m the villain.” When he decided to buy a new boat, he headed to Down East Maine. The Duffy was great, he says, but tended to rock. A beamier boat would offer better lateral stability, and he was ready to go a little larger. After considering other designs, he settled on the Beal 44. “This boat is very stable, and the cabin is a lot bigger,” says Carraro. “The cockpit is a lot roomier, and even though it is bigger than my old boat, the fuel efficiency is going to be comparable. It’s a nice superwide boat. It’s hard to find a boat that wide,” says Carraro, who has spent days at a time at Stewart Workman’s yard since December, working on the boat himself. Carraro caught his first bluefin, a 1,100-pounder, as a teen growing up in New Jersey. He’s been fishing commercially and running a bluefin charter business ever since. He and his crew are on the water five or six days at a time for back-to-back trips. They catch 40 to 60 fish a year, usually 800 to 1,000 pounds each. His charter business also has a packed schedule of clients who have become good friends. (Carraro is also a pilot for JetBlue Airways, flying 10 days a month.) There are far easier ways to make money than commercial fishing, says Carraro, but he enjoys the challenge. “It’s a passion,” he says. “I like the whole thing from beginning to end — the hunt, the battle, the kill and then the paycheck.” Tuna.com is a practical, commercial-grade boat that’s durable, reliable and cleans up easily, with up-to-date technology, comfortable accommodations, a hold for three big fish, a bait well, an 800-gallon fuel capacity and a 1,000-hp Caterpillar diesel. There is a galley and tackle station in the saloon, as well as a big settee that converts to a berth. There are more berths and lockers for the crew below and a spacious head with a shower. Tuna.com has plenty of lounging areas for clients and 360-degree visibility. “When you get out there, it’s nice to have more room, better sleeping quarters, better stability,” Carraro says. “More elbow room makes a big difference when you spend so many days out there.”

lobster fishing during high school. After graduation, he went to work for Young Brothers in Corea, Maine, building lobster boats. “I saw all these lobster boats getting built, and I liked lobstering, so I borrowed a great big sack of money — of course, now you can’t buy half a truck for what I borrowed — and bought a boat and went lobster fishing.” It was a struggle; in the early 1980s, the lobster resource was nowhere near today’s abundance. In his 20s, Workman sold the boat and joined the Coast Guard, traveling, working his way up the ranks and earning certification in a number of specialties. “It was an experience. I’m glad I did it,” he says. When his enlistment period was up, he returned to Maine. Through the 1990s, he worked in marine construction and boat restoration, fished, and bought and ran an offshore charter fishing boat. But boatbuilding beckoned. By then, Workman had property in Lamoine. He opened a shop in 1999 and went on to finish a number of lobster boats, passenger boats, sportfishermen and yachts. In 2008, the decision to buy the Beal molds changed everything. The designs were always popular. Beal had built more than 120 boats from 34 to 44 feet. His shallow-draft skeg hulls were some of the beamiest, for their length, in the area. They were known for stability, easy sailing, good looks and spaciousness. “Calvin was known for taking the narrower boats on Beals Island and widening them,” says Workman, who is good friends with Beal. “He took the tumblehome out of the boats and spread them out the other way, making a bigger deck area. At the time, a lot of other builders thought he was crazy. But fishermen fell in love with them because they could get more traps on.” Once the economy picked up, there was no break in sales. Beals sell themselves, says Workman. There are so many on the water, they act as their own advertisement.
Here’s a case where the classic “wide load” sign might have been mild understatement.
A year later, another iconic shop, Young Brothers Boats — where Workman first learned boatbuilding — was selling its molds for seven boats, ranging from 30 to 45 feet, and they were reasonably priced. Twin brothers Arvin and Arvid and their older brother Colby, over the course of 30 years in business, had produced about 550 built-down lobster boats, popular among commercial fishermen, boaters and sport anglers.

cousin) designed and built the plugs, which conformed to a traditional 3-to-1 length-to-beam ratio and had a reputation for being handsome, easy-sailing and fast — some of them top contenders on Maine’s lobster boat racing circuit. Shortly after Libby’s death in 2012, Workman also bought the molds for a 34 and 38, which Libby had made for his own shop on Beals Island. With his wife, Alice, eventually coming on as business manager, Workman began expanding the market for the Beal designs, offering them to boaters and sport anglers in addition to commercial fishermen. Marketing the Young Brothers designs came more recently, after reconditioning the molds. Why choose one line or the other? “As I put it to fishermen,” Workman says, “some guys like blondes, some like brunettes.” As demand picked up, Workman’s shop was inadequate. The couple had 23 acres across the street and were planning to build a house. Instead, they put up two sizable buildings, for layup and finish. Today, they’ve sold 30 to 40 Beal boats, including the newest Maine Marine Patrol boat and a research vessel for Stockton University in New Jersey, and seven Young Brothers boats. Booked into 2017, the shop produces 12 to 15 vessels annually. Earlier this year, Workman was meeting with a Boothbay Harbor lobsterman who was ready to upsize from a 36 Beal to a 38 or 42. Numerous Beals were in production. His layup crew was about to pop a 38 and a 44 from their molds, both for repeat customers. “Just like popping out a baby,” jokes Workman. Elsewhere, to the tune of rock ’n’ roll and power tools, employees were aligning an engine on a 38 and fairing the gelcoat on a 36. Outside sat the recently completed Black Pearl, a handsome, splitwheelhouse 36 painted glossy black. In the finish shop, a 38 Beal named All Out was nearly ready to launch for lobstering. With a beam of 15 feet, it’s a modern powerhouse that has a wide, flat deck, twin steering stations and a spacious wheelhouse that looks palatial, compared with the narrow shelters of older lobster boats. In the next bay over, employees were fairing the gelcoat on Tuna. com, commissioned by Capt.

He likens that approach to a traditional sensibility. “I grew up in the fishing business,” he says. “Some of the old-timers said, ‘When the lights go out and you need to hang on, you need to know where to put your hand.’ ” n

PAMLICO STORM ALKYD PAINTING BY ROBERT DANCE
N
orth Carolina’s Pamlico Sound stretches 80 miles from Manteo and the Dare County mainland south to Portsmouth Island and Cape Lookout National Seashore. On good days, it’s a water wonderland, with fishing, boating, sailing and an abundance of wildlife. Robert Dance shows another side in Pamlico Storm, as such confined bodies of water can become treacherous in heavy weather. The largest lagoon on the East Coast, Pamlico averages just 5 to 6 feet in depth. When the wind pipes up, the water becomes choppy and confused, full of shoals and shifting sands. “I have put the fisherman in a precarious position that most would avoid,” says Dance, who is 81 and lives in Kinston, North Carolina. A storm has struck, and the fisherman reaches for the steering wheel on the mast. “Storms do come up quickly on the coast.” Rough-water paintings involve hours of observation. “You can’t really set up your easel [out there],” says Dance. “So you go out when it’s rough and watch what’s going on.” Using models, he then puts a boat into the scene. “I study the model from all angles to get the feel of how the boat would act in those conditions.” His painting technique plays a role, too. Dance builds thin layers of color, or “glazes,” to achieve a luminous quality. It’s a time-consuming process. For Pamlico Storm, he used alkyd, rather than oil, as his medium. “Alkyd is similar, but it uses an artificial resin binder,” he says. “That means it dries faster.” When it takes 15 to 20 glazes to get what you want, Dance says, “a quick-drying paint helps.” The vessel in the painting is a classic Harkers Island workboat, says Dance. Harkers Island is known for its boatbuilders, and their boats were designed — with plenty of Carolina bow flare — for local watermen to use in Pamlico Sound and other Down East North Carolina waters. — Steve Knauth To view this and other works by Robert Dance, visit the J.

was told long ago to never write stories about pets on boats. People tire of reading them. So I’m not going to write about pets on boats. I’m going to write about dead pets on boats. As you wind your way down the ICW, you may not know it but you’re also winding your way past innumerable hamster graves. There’s nothing macabre going on; it’s just that we had two daughters who were growing up as we traveled north and south for so many years. Little girls want pets, and their mothers insist. Most of their pets were hamsters. I don’t like rats on a boat no matter what you call them, but my preferences weren’t particularly relevant. One thing about hamsters is that they seem to die a lot. Not a problem, you may be thinking. Just toss it and stay away from ports “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to honor the memory of Fluffy.”

with pet stores. But you don’t just toss a “Scruffy” or a “Fluffy” or a “Bilbo” into the sea. You must bury them. You can’t bury them in your backyard because you don’t have one when you live on a boat. And you can’t just bury them on a beach or beside the marina dock because “somebody might walk on them.” But one of the many good things about traveling down the ICW is that in or near most marinas one can almost always find a “KEEP OFF THE GRASS” sign. Since everyone obeys these signs, all you have to do is walk behind them and dig your tiny little graves. It kills three birds with one stone. (I’d say three hamsters, but the hamster would already be dead.) The hamster will not be trod upon, the grass will have extra fertilization, and the tomb is marked by a monument. Never mind that it says “KEEP OFF THE GRASS” instead of “Here Lies Our Beloved Fluffy.” While in the Bahamas, we seldom found signs like this. We found something better. In centuries past, seamen built tall rock monuments to mark islands with salt ponds. These were usually on top of the highest hill and often difficult to reach, a perfect place to bury a hamster. As you sail down the Exuma chain today, when you see a lone stone monument high on a hill, you can forget about the salt; shed a tear for a furry little creature that once graced our decks. As the years rolled under our keel, our little girls grew into bigger girls who wanted different pets — ones that didn’t bite when being dressed in doll clothes. Goldfish seemed a natural fit.

As luck would have it, she landed in the shoe and flopped her way into darkness, where she expired and began the process of fermenting, which is accomplished so well in the tropics. There was no problem tossing this one. But there was an issue with a cocoa damselfish. I know the experts say you can’t domesticate a cocoa damselfish. But our daughter Carolyn did. One day while playing in the mangrove tidal flats, she saw it inside the lip of a large conch and poured it into the old goldfish bowl. She’d catch small shrimp from sargassum weed with a fine net as we traveled. Soon, this very special little wild fish was eating from her hands. It was amazing and very touching. Then came the day we were to head back across the Gulf Stream to the United States. We knew there would be no sargassum weed there and that the water available would quickly kill the fish. Mel had a long talk with Carolyn about the wisdom of letting “Cokie” return to nature by letting her go in the Bahamas waters. With tears in her eyes and pride in her heart about what she was doing for her pet, Carolyn stooped down on a rock on the marina jetty and gently poured the fish back into nature. Before she could get “Goodbye little Cokie” out of her mouth, a barracuda swooped in from under the dock and gulped down Cokie, now truly back to nature. There was no burial issue here, either; just some very serious theological discussions. Then came Dixie, and I’m not talking about a historical political subdivision. Dixie was a bird. She looked like a parakeet to me, but I was told with some degree of indignation that Dixie was a budgie. Whatever she was, she had wings and lots of colors and made a lot of noise and a lot of bird you-knowwhat as she supervised the main saloon from her cage, which hung much too close to the galley.

We were docked a short walk from the 17th Street Causeway Bridge. Dressed in our finest, our family walked in solemn procession down A1A, carrying our little casket and its feathery contents, holding it out in front of us reverently. When we reached the bridge, we continued on up its sidewalk, heading to the highest part. Looking down we could see the tide racing out to meet the ocean at nearby Port Everglades Inlet. This would be a perfect way, under the circumstances, to have a burial at sea. As we gathered near the top, we paused at the rail, and I held out the Dixie box and said a few words. Then I gently tossed it out downwind. At which point my senses came home with a bang. Fort Lauderdale was going nuts on the no-littering-the-waterways theme. There had been a recent waterway cleanup. Although there were no “KEEP OFF THE GRASS” signs, there were innumerable warnings about littering the waterway. My brain was reeling as the box headed out and down. But officer, we’re just returning a creature of the wild back to nature. Uh, well, yes, it is a Dixie sugar box, but if you’ll just open it up you’ll find a bird. Then even more horrific thoughts surfaced. It was turning into something from a Stephen King novel. Passing under the bridge in multitudes were all sorts of fine yachts, including many with flybridges. And consumed in grief as I was, I had forgotten to look upstream before the toss. In the seeming eternity that passed as the coffin fluttered down on the wind, I could imagine some captain piloting his yacht getting splattered on his captain’s cap with our Dixie. Would it soil his white hat? Would it hurt him? Would he kill me? Would this become homicide by deadly bird? As I held my breath the box mercifully hit only the waves below and headed for the inlet. I kept my thoughts to myself as our family of four solemnly walked down the bridge. Blest be the tide that binds. n

the alley of champion dinghy sailor Ian Proctor of the United Kingdom, who thought the boat he submitted would be “something entirely new.” He had no idea how right he was.
A home run at the trials
The first (and only) trials were held in Medemblik, Holland, with 10 entries, plus a Flying 15 as a scratch boat. Sailed by Brits John Oakley and Cliff Norbury, who had trained under Proctor’s supervision, the Tempest crushed it, with eight bullets out of nine races (one DNF due to a broken rudder) and winning even when loaded down with 88 pounds of dead weight. “The Tempest can best be described as a design breakthrough,” wrote Bob Beavier Jr., the U.S. representative on the selection committee, in Yachting magazine. Indeed, with a lifting keel, a spinnaker and dinghy-like planing performance, the Tempest could be rightfully called the progenitor of modern performance keelboats. It quickly was recognized as an international class and grew by leaps and bounds, as Anna Templeton-Cotill, 90, of Jamestown, Rhode Island, remembers. She lived in England in the 1970s and was in the eye of the storm as the class secretary. Anna T-C, as she’s still known, quotes from the archives: “Builders were clamoring for licenses, and new molds were going out at the rate of one every two months.” When the class was elevated to Olympic status (without displacing the Star), top talent was flocking to the Tempest. Norbury was joined by fellow Brits Keith Musto, Reg White and Alan Warren, with his Bunyanesque crew David Hunt; the formidable Russian Valentin Mankin; John Albrechtson from Sweden; Uwe Mares from Germany; and Ben Staartjes from Holland. Those were the usual suspects in the winner’s circle. And then there were the Americans, with three worldchampion teams: William Kelly/ Robert Connell, John and James Linville, and Glen Foster, with 6-footAn athletic boat, the Tempest has a lifting keel, a spinnaker and planing performance. 6-inch Peter Dean on the wire, who tipped the scales north of 210

way from the spotlight of micromanaged prime-time sailing events, a little celebration is in order this summer. The place couldn’t be more picturesque: Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. The occasion could not be more fitting: a world championship. And the excuse is better than any: The Tempest, like Medicare and Medicaid, turned 50 this year. It’s perhaps the best small keelboat you never sailed. It was used in the Olympic Games in 1972 and 1976, and once enjoyed worldwide popularity. Today it’s mainly Europeans who keep the flag flying; in the United States the class is a faint shadow of its former and much stronger self. In 1965 the International Yacht Racing Union (today’s International Sailing Federation) staged a design competition for a two-person keelboat with a maximum length of 22 feet and a sail area of 247 square feet, plus spinnaker. The use of a trapeze was encouraged. The goal, supposedly, was to replace the Star, designed by American Francis Sweisguth in 1910, the year the Boy Scouts were founded. The brass at the IYRU felt that it might be time for something a bit more exciting, and the design parameters that were issued were right up

[ SAILBOATS ] pounds. Other notable Tempest sailors, according to Templeton-Cotill, included Ted Turner and Australian designer Ben Lexcen. Foster/Dean were favored to win the first Olympic Tempest regatta in 1972, but in unusually light air in Kiel, Germany, the heavy-air specialists had to settle for bronze behind Mankin/Vitaly Dirdira from the Soviet Union and Warren/Hunt from the U.K. Gleefully, the Tempest newsletter pointed out that the Brits, winners of Race 2, also beat the leading Star to the finish line, even though they’d started 10 minutes later on the same course. Henceforth the Tempests were sent off before the Stars. Other nuggets include the story of Prince Bira of Thailand, who showed up with multiple wives, unhappy about the fact that his crew’s head was above his when trapped out. He finished dead last in 21st place. And there was the ditty about Mankin’s boat flunking the measurement because of an “abundance of ribs in the forward compartment and beneath the cockpit floor. But after a little work with hammer and chisel and a healthy string of Russian profanity the red (boat) was declared a Tempest and set sail.” Those were the days.
Massachusetts, the Noroton section of Darien, Connecticut, and Annapolis, Maryland, began to wilt. It didn’t happen overnight or without a valiant effort to arrest the decline, especially by Dave McComb, a longtime Tempest sailor and class secretary. McComb published a Tempest handbook called The Sandbag, which carried glowing endorsements by Ian Proctor and Bruce Kirby, the designer of the Laser, who called the Tempest a “boat that was very fast while at the same time well mannered. You could find yourself in trouble in heavy winds if you were careless. But a foolproof British Olympic sailors boat would surely be, as the British Alan Warren and David say, ‘a crashing bore.’ It was great Hunt torched their sport being on the thin edge of the Tempest, Gift ’Orse, when other kind of crashing.” the boat didn’t perform One of the more exotic fleets on well at the 1976 Games. this side of the Pond is in Martinique, the site of the 2006 Tempest Worlds. In the United States, former racer Dominic Meo III runs the nonprofit U.S. International Tempest Association in Long Beach, California, a community sailing program that offers refurbished older boats. “Classes fail because people sell their boats when they have kids or move away,” he says. “So I was looking to build a sustainable fleet [with Tempests] that bridges the gap between sailing school and boat ownership.”
A fiery end to the Olympics

A continuing renaissance in Europe The epicenter of class activities lies in Europe — Germany, Austria, Switzerland, England, the Netherlands, France and Italy — where top events can draw more than two dozen boats. The Tempest also was part of Vintage Yachting Games 2012, a gathering of former Olympic classes. Boats are still being built by Mader in Bavaria, high-end but pricey. Still, older Tempests can be quite competitive, a saving grace for the class, which introduced sensible changes over the years. The size of the spinnaker was increased; rudder, keel, rig and parts were improved; and the deck layout was modified. But the hull Proctor designed in 1965 remains unchanged. After his passing in 1992, Proctor’s spar-making firm was bought by Swedish industry giant Seldén, which stopped producing Tempest masts. Undeterred, the class started building them in-house and of excellent quality. Another tactic to boost membership is loaning boats to newcomers, betting that the shift toward skiffs and multihulls is a boon for the Tempest, which had a chute and trapeze all along. And if you can’t capsize while turning up the fun meter, all the better. “It’s an athletic boat — I’m close to the water but not in the water — and the many tuning devices appeal to skipper and crew,” says Cornelia Christen, 50, a Swiss kindergarten teacher and the reigning Tempest world champion. She is the first woman in history with that distinction. Her husband, Ruedi, is crewing for her, and together they are set to defend the title on Lake Lucerne. Culture, she insists, also is important. “The class is like a big family. On the water we race each other hard, but at the club we party together.” As the Tempest turns 50, with about 1,200 boats built to date, it proves that it is possible to get older without getting old, even without lofty Olympic status and rock stars taking the tiller. And that is something to celebrate under the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps. The very essence of all this is brought home by Anna TempletonCotill, who says, “You can’t stop a Tempest.” Maybe this spirit can spark a comeback in the United States so this marvelous boat might add another chapter to its glorious history. n
BEN STAARTJES/PPL
When the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal rolled around, the Star and Dragon were replaced by the 470 dinghy and the Tornado catamaran, and the Tempest returned for its second Olympic tour — its last but a memorable one. The United States, this time represented by Dennis Conner and crew Conn Findlay, who’d won two gold and a bronze as a rower in previous Olympics, took third. Mankin/Vladyslav Akimenko got silver behind Albrechtson/Ingvar Hansson, who sailed a near-perfect series. But the kicker came from Warren and Hunt, considered medal prospects again. They disappointed at 14th overall but were hampered by their boat, Gift ’Orse, which had been damaged during transport. Just after crossing the finish line of the last race, they torched it using a can of acetone as a fire starter, which they’d smuggled aboard. “She went lame on us, so we decided the poor Gift ’Orse should be cremated,” Warren says. They were on a roll. Previously they had tested Canadian security by “dressing up as Arabs using bed blankets as headdresses, walking around the compound with squash rackets bulging like submachine guns underneath. They were not stopped,” recounts yachting photographer Barry Pickthall. Whether the arson played a role for the selection committee that ditched the Tempest as an Olympic class is unclear, but to this day the 86-year-old Norbury thinks it “hurt the class tremendously.” Rolf Bähr, a multiple Tempest world champion from Germany, witnessed the demise of the class as an IYRU delegate. The politically well-connected Star class — many ex-Star sailors sat on key IYRU panels — was lobbying behind the scenes for reinstatement as the Olympic two-man keelboat, Bähr says. At the 1977 IYRU meeting the permanent committee voted 15 to 14 for a comeback of the Star. That outcome had a profound effect on the Tempest class, with the pros leaving in droves and boats being dumped onto the market. The class declined everywhere, but nowhere more dramatically than in the United States, where builders such as W.D. Schock stopped production and formerly strong fleets in Marblehead,

BACKGROUND Sea Ray Boats has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the world’s largest boatbuilders. Founded by C.N. Ray in 1959, who first set up shop in Detroit, it had grown to three facilities building 1,000 boats a year by the mid-1980s. Part of Brunswick Corp., Sea Ray offers more than three dozen models from 19 to 65 feet. The 215 Express Cruiser, introduced in the late 1990s, was a popular overnighter designed for couples and small families. Online prices start at less than $20,000 and climb to the mid-$30,000 range.

Walkthrough Sea Ray’s 215 EC combines overnight comforts and sporty performance. The boat rides a modified-vee hull powered by a 220-hp gas V-8. (Options included a 150-hp diesel, and 250- and 260-hp gas V-8s). Cruising speed was listed at 37 mph, with a top end of 48 mph. The companionway door slides up and for-
ward beneath the windshield for easy access to the cuddy. Below there’s a separate compartment to starboard with room for a portable head, closed off with a sliding curtain/ door. The camp-style galley is to port, and the basic gear includes a sink with cold water and an insulated ice chest. The V-berth is big enough for two (with an insert) beneath a large hatch. It converts to become the dinette, with a table and room for four adults. The helm is to starboard, with a companion seat to port and bench seating aft. Molded steps lead through the windshield’s opening center panel to the foredeck. Sea Ray offered an optional camper canvas package, which included a front Isinglass visor and side and aft curtains. n

Heat and humidity aside, there’s plenty going on here By Peter Bass
W
e are in that hot and still, latesummer mode here at the bottom of the Bay, waiting for the weather to break into the fall pattern. Our big event, Norfolk HarborFest, has come and gone as I write this. The weather was good, with one exception: A stiff easterly during the fireworks deposited a lot of debris from the pyrotechnics onto the boats and docks of Tidewater Marina on the Portsmouth side. Most was in the form of cardboard, but there was also a sprinkle of hot, sooty bits that marked up decks and, anecdotally, at least, caused a few burns. I haven’t heard any follow-ups about damage or injuries — it seems to have blown over, so to speak. As a transplant to the Bay, I am often staggered by the summer humidity and triple-
digit heat, whether the actual temperature or the “heat index,” which is the result of some special algorithm known only to meteorologists and bottled-water salesmen. The empty streets on those days remind me of 20-below days in Maine when nobody went outside, either. At this point you should be moved to reread “Fire and Ice,” by Robert Frost.
The Man from N.O.A.A. The Virginian-Pilot, the local daily newspaper of Hampton Roads, reported on a topic that is close to our hearts — and stomachs — in this part of the world: the Atlantic blue crab.

port News seafood company, Casey’s Seafood, was being investigated for selling mixtures of foreign and local product as all Atlantic blue crab. It seems that agents of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had purchased crabmeat marked as Atlantic blue, sent it out for DNA testing and discovered that the majority of crab mixtures contained crabs from the western Pacific in addition to the real thing. Casey’s has been here before; in 1997 it was selling Mexican crab as “Chesapeake Bay’s Finest.� That investigation sank when the investigators discovered that it wasn’t actually illegal to mislabel goods for sale. As one would hope, that has been fixed in Virginia law. On the federal level, a task force — the Presidential Task Force on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing and Seafood Fraud — released a plan to make mislabeling regulations tougher. Besides feeling good that watermen will get additional protection, I was more excited to learn that NOAA has special agents and that those who name presidential task forces are at the top of their game.

One of the fun aspects of the yacht brokerage profession is hearing how a boat you sold turned out to be everything the customer hoped it would be. Those of us who happily wear the sobriquet “boat nut� know that selling can be such an experience, and that working to enable that experience is very satisfying to a broker. I recently sold an Elan 434, a bluewater sailboat built in Slovenia. She was purchased in Europe and sailed to the United States by the owners with a family crew. One of the owners was a New Zealander; the couple who purchased the boat were New Zealanders working on yachts in the States, and were looking for a boat to sail back to New Zealand. The transaction was complicated by the fact that the sellers had gone back to New Zealand for our winter season during the entire transaction. It all got sorted out, and at this writing the boat was nearing New Zealand with her new owners, having left North Carolina in the spring. More locally, I worked long and hard to get a deal concluded on a Gulfstar 49 motoryacht about a year ago. It cruised back into the marina after an eight-month, full-time, sweat-equity refit by the buyers. They did an amazing job and now have sold their house
and cars to move aboard full time. I got brief reports through the process, but the real payoff was seeing the result. Pretty fun stuff.
Bonny Cape Charles Across the mouth of the Bay in Cape Charles, Virginia, a deep-water megayachtcapable facility seems to be paying off. Although I like to think my perch is the center of the transient-yacht universe, the Baldwin family bet that there was an opportunity to catch megayachts transiting north and south that are either too big for the Intracoastal Waterway or simply don’t want to wind their way to the facilities of Portsmouth and Norfolk and out again to get to sea. For sailors, Bermuda has been a convenient stop for years, but it’s expensive as a restocking and refueling point. Tucked just inside the Bay on the Eastern Shore, the Cape Charles Yacht Center is a perfectly positioned fuel-and-service stop. It is an economic boost for Northampton County, and it exposes more folks to the magic of the Eastern Shore. In an article in the Eastern Shore Post in late June, reporter Bill Sterling noted that there were two 100-plus-foot sailing yachts docked end to end. The professional crews on both boats enjoyed the special experience of the Eastern Shore, and suppliers of fuel and marine services enjoyed business that didn’t exist several years ago. Time for another visit.
Cocooning cruisers Hampton Roads is often the turnaround point for yacht club cruises originating up the Bay, which helps keep the marinas humming during the summer doldrums. It also keeps the visual feast going for us Mile Zero boat watchers. The Virginia Yacht Club came a few weeks ago (previous stop Cape Charles) and filled the transient dock with some greatlooking powerboats from top builders, such as Sabre, MJM and Grand Banks, and a couple of lovely old Hatteras motoryachts in stunning condition. Unfortunately, we were also experiencing a heat wave, so there was a lot of cocooning in air-conditioned saloons. This was in contrast to a couple of bluewater sailboats that came in soon after and promptly rigged their wind scoops and fans, sitting quite happily under awnings and Biminis. I have enjoyed both sides of that coin and make no judgment: Boat nuts are all equal under King Neptune. Hot or cold, it’s always fun at Mile Zero. See you at the bottom of the Bay, the top of the Ditch. n
[ FISHING ]
Slick strategy: the art of chumming By Zach Harvey
C
humming is the practice of slinging some form of cut bait, ground bait or scented liquid into the drink to attract desired game fish. It is known to be so lethally and universally effective that it’s considered borderline unethical, relative to more “sporting” tactics. And as usual, that reputation has been advanced almost exclusively by folks who’ve never so much as attempted the method.
boat; it can actually derail a bite that might otherwise have materialized. You can chum too heavily, feeding the fish and never tempting them toward your steel-bearing chunks. You can chum too lightly, especially when there are big clouds of squid or other aggressive forage hanging in an area, gobbling up all traces before you can broadcast scent to the predators you seek. You can drum in a
In reality, chunking — the fishing of actual hookbaits in conjunction with chum — while conceptually simple, demands the same awareness of conditions, the same eye for the subtleties of a fishing scenario, the same degree of discipline and the same work ethic as any other fishing technique. Granted, some of the fastest bites I’ve fished have built on a chum slick, but contrary to some of the gossip, there’s nothing foolproof about it. What most chunking neophytes don’t understand is that a cavalier approach to the chum slick won’t just fail to put fish in the 78

pestilence of dogfish, blue sharks or other undesirables — or get a swarm of juvenile fish so horsed up on your aquatic gravy train that you can’t get a bait through to the bigger specimens you’re targeting. Worst of all, you can break your slick — slinging morsels for six hours, only to abandon the ladle in the excitement of the night’s first hook-up. Whatever life you’ve convinced to swim through six miles of greasy water toward the boat stops before it reaches you; miles of carefully dispensed chum become a massive plot of easy pickings moving rapidly away

Seaway 24 Sport CC
ooking for a simple boat that doesn’t need much horsepower to run at a decent clip and doesn’t guzzle gas? Eastern Boats’ new Seaway 24 Sport center console deserves some attention. The Milton, New Hampshire, company builds boats from 18 to 35 feet across four brands: Eastern, Seaway, Rosborough and Sisu. All of the boats to 27 feet can run with a single engine.
With a 115-hp 4-stroke, the 24 Sport tops out at about 32 mph and cruises at 20 to 24 mph. At 24 mph, the outboard will burn 3.5 gph, translating to about 7 mpg — an impressive number, even for a small boat.

soundingsonline.com SEPTEMBER 2015
Equipped with with a 150-hp outboard, the Seaway will top out at about 40 mph and cruise at 25 to 30 mph. Mileage is about 7 mpg at 28 mph. “I think this boat will really fit a niche — an affordable family and fishing center console that’s more economical to run,” says Bruce Perkins, Eastern’s director of sales and marketing. Eastern discontinued its previous 24-foot center console two years ago. “That boat never worked for us — too many bells and whistles and not enough room for crew,” says Perkins. “This boat is simpler, with plenty of room. One of the other issues [with the previous boat] was freeboard. This boat has 4 more inches of freeboard, which makes a big difference standing in the cockpit.” The 24 Sport, which is built with no liner, has a portable head in the console. She’s outfitted with a storage box that doubles as a seat on the aft side of the leaning post. A coffin box with a removable padded top is in the center of the foredeck. The decks are built with Nida-Core closed-cell foam, and the hull is solid glass, says Perkins, and uses a foam-filled stringer grid — there is no wood in the boat. Its hard-chine modified-vee hull begins with a narrow forefoot and flattens out to 4 degrees of deadrise at the transom. The engine hangs from a cutout transom. Base price with a Yamaha F115 is $46,500 ($50,000 fully equipped). Base price with a 150 is $49,800. Seaway also carries Mercury and Honda outboards. n

By rich armStrOng
Boat project morphs into detective story Many sailors know well the legend of Rowdy, a 65-foot New York 40 launched in 1916. Built of pine planking on white oak frames, she was designed by Nathanael Herreshoff to sail fast and win races, which she did. Fast forward to 1998, when Christopher Madsen purchased the neglected sailboat with plans for an ambitious restoration. Rowdy (CPM Publishing, $55, rowdystory.com) is Madsen’s account of meticulously researching the yacht’s history, which prominently features ownership by Holland Duell, a decorated soldier turned patent attorney, state senator, Hollywood filmmaker and world-class sailor. Madsen spoke with scores of Duell’s family members and associates, and pored over personal and legal documents during 16 years of research for the book, which reads like an epic historical yarn.

Interpreting the weather around you
True stories behind great works of fiction
The third edition of The Weather Handbook (Bloomsbury, $18) has been updated to include new sources of information, specifically digital, but its core remains the insight Alan Watts brings to understanding how weather develops. The goal of the book, which includes color photographs and diagrams, is to teach readers to be able to look at the sky, interpret its signs and leverage their knowledge with information provided by professional forecasts to assess the coming weather. “The atmosphere is a heat engine and obeys certain fundamental laws,” Watts writes. “The more you understand about the weather, the more interesting it becomes.”
Sam Jefferson‘s Sea Fever (Bloomsbury, $27) relates the true adventures that inspired the works of such authors as Joseph Conrad, Herman Melville and Ernest Hemingway. Jefferson, a journalist and maritime historian, literally works backward from The Old Man and the Sea, The Beach of Falesa, The Ebb Tide and other classics, painting portraits of the authors before unraveling the incident or incidents in their lives that inspired their masterworks. The direct and punchy prose cuts to the heart of each subject and, in the end, opens a window into the reality behind these famous works of fiction.

[ WATERFRONT ] WATERFRONT REAL ESTATE • LUXURY HOMES There are views of Southport Harbor from every room of this three-story, four-bedroom home in the Southport section of Fairfield, Connecticut.

Built on the side of a hill, the house has expansive harbor views in every room. After living there for almost two decades, enjoying the “great sailing and cruising base at the start of New England,” Lahey and his wife, Joan, plan to downsize and move to Florida. Their 0.76-acre property, which has a three-story, four-bedroom, 5-1/2-bath Nantucket-style home of 6,157 square feet, an attached two-car garage, a boathouse and a deep-water dock, is on the market for $7.25 million. “Our house is terrifically livable, with a continued on Page 107

modern flow, well-designed kitchen and completely separate master suite,” says Lahey, a 76-year-old retired corporate lawyer. Soaring ceilings, waterfront window walls, custom millwork, built-in cabinetry and hardwood floors create a casually elegant interior. Guests enter the house through the foyer on the main level, and there are immediate harbor views through the central dining room’s waterfront window walls. “I can sit here at the table and look through the kitchen and family room, across the harbor to the [Country Club of Fairfield’s] golf course, Long Island Sound and Long Island itself. A fabulous view,” he says. The adjacent living room (which has a
gas log fireplace) buffers the master suite, which occupies one end of the house. The master sitting room and bedroom open to a private columned waterfront porch 40 feet above the harbor. His-and-her full baths and walk-in closets complete the suite. Japanese gardens with a koi pond and waterfall grace the inland view. The kitchen stands on the other side of the dining room. A granite-topped storage island separates the waterfront breakfast area from the work area’s custom cabinets, twin sinks, double wall ovens, refrigerator, gas cooktop and walk-in pantry. The Laheys frequently dine on the secluded stone-floored harborfront deck off the kitchen.
“We spend most of our time in the great room near the kitchen,” Lahey says. The cathedral-ceilinged room features custom builtins, a gas log fireplace and dramatic views through two window walls. A custom floating staircase connects the dining room with the two-bedroom apartment below. Its kitchenette and wet bar simplify entertaining on the screened porch off the sunroom, a favorite boat-watching spot. A third lower-level bedroom, a full bath, an exercise room and a wine cellar are reached from the terrace and the mudroom by the garage. Multilevel bluestone terraces wrap around the house, creating intimate seating areas overlooking the gardens or harbor. The heated paver driveway eliminates winter shoveling. Stone paths wind through the “naturally wild” landscaped grounds to the stone boathouse and floating dock. The boathouse converts to a covered entertainment area when the waterfront doors are removed. The dock, at the upper end of the dredged harbor channel, has 7-foot depths at mean low water. Long Island Sound is about five minutes away. “Above us, you can explore only by small boat,” says Lahey, who has owned many sailboats and powerboats, most recently a 1944 Down East lobster boat. “Southport is the neatest little village, with little shops and restaurants, the Pequot Yacht Club three doors from here and a wonderful golf course across the harbor,” he says. “It’s a great sailing and cruising base.” Major shopping, dining and services are in Fairfield (two miles) and Westport (six miles). Annual taxes are about $78,700. Matt Lahey, (203) 767-4190, of William Raveis Real Estate, Fairfield/Southport, Connecticut, and Ted Lahey, (203) 455-4431, of The Hinckley Co. in the Rowayton section of Norwalk, Connecticut, list the property. n

By Thomas m. eve, sAms, Ams
ou’ve come to the point where it is time to reward yourself. After browsing the Internet, reading boating magazines, talking with friends and spending time on their boats, you’ve decided to make an offer on a boat. Soon you’ll need the services of a surveyor. There are several hundred surveyors in the country accredited through the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors or the National Association of Marine Surveyors, the two leading groups whose members have demonstrated their knowledge and abilities through testing and experience. Governing societies rate their abilities in a profession where people’s lives depend on the surveyors. My advice, admittedly biased, is to hire only an accredited surveyor with proven credentials. Surveying is a profession, not a job. There is no one telling us what to do, but people rely on our opinion. There are judgment calls that have to be made on behalf of the client. Surveyors are expected to have a general working knowledge of all kinds of boats and construction materials, power and sail, as well as a working knowledge of the systems on vessels and the ability to recognize deficiencies through observation, testing or both, to make informed decisions that best advise the client. It is unrealistic to think that a surveyor fully understands everything being surveyed to the fullest extent or that, given the limited amount of time the survey takes, to assume that all exceptions have been identified. There will always be a missed exception, but a good surveyor should be able to identify the large issues, and what is missed should be minor.
112
a good survey requires focus and concentration — limit observers aboard to those who are truly necessary.
The best surveys are conducted with the least number of people on the boat. People unrelated to the actual survey are a distraction, take up room and absorb time that should be devoted to the client and survey. A good survey requires focus and concentration. Each interruption in the survey process is generally when something is missed. I developed a simple formula years ago; each additional unnecessary person on board is going to cost about 30 minutes in wasted time. This sounds inhospitable, but ask yourself: Do you want bystanders in the operating room when you are on the table? That’s a little dramatic but it makes the point. The fewer people on board beyond those necessary, the better the survey is likely to be.
soundingsonline.com september 2015
To maintain the vessel’s value, you need to buy wisely. Name-brand vessels in good condition are the best bet. If she’s not new — and new vessels certainly have their issues — you need a good surveyor to help you make an informed decision on the boat’s condition and quality. In 33 years I have been asked for a sample survey only a few times. I have offered surveys on similar vessels, if not sister ships, to indicate what to expect. It is always a case of buyer beware. With boats, I find that some potential buyers will spend from $50,000 to hundreds of thousands without proper investigation, unlike they would with a home or other major investment. Buyers rely on the surveyor to advise and sort through the situation for them, give an independent evaluation, and note the exceptions and define the good points. Considering the value of a good surveyor and the background necessary to advise clients, the service is a bargain. As a potential buyer, it is up to you to investigate the surveyor’s background, obtain resumes and sample surveys, and have discussions on the aspects of the vessel that you are particularly interested in. If surveyors or brokers make comments such as, “You really don’t need engine or mechanical surveys,” “These engines have low hours,” or “Let’s see how it performs and let that guide us,” you are already behind the eight ball. A mechanical survey is similar to a stress test: You are looking for exceptions — things that are out of the ordinary and potentially problematic. I like to see engines be run up to full rpm and held on the high end to evaluate the condition based on performance and the instruments. Not everyone agrees with that approach, and there are circumstances where it is not appropriate, such as when testing older engines. Most important: Don’t assume everything is OK when it can be properly evaluated for relatively little in relation to the cost of the vessel. Get a good surveyor for the hull and the mechanics. It might save your life and wallet. n Thomas M. Eve, Eve Marine Surveyors, Savannah, Georgia, (912) 355-5911. marinesurveyor.com/ems/

WORKINGS from Page 58
the most travel, as the tiller will arc up and down as it rotates. The drive unit has a defined stroke that must be taken into account by calculating the length of the tiller where the ram end is attached. Under no circumstance should the autopilot ram be the rudder stop. The rudder should have a travel of 70 degrees from stop to stop, and the ram attachment on the tiller moves closer to the stock until rotation is within the full stroke. Rudder stocks are solid or, in some larger diameters, hollow shafts. Solid rudder stocks usually have a keyway to secure the quadrant or radial drive, and if the keyway is long enough the tiller can be machined to use the same size key. Hollow stocks may not have the wall thickness for a key and are typically drilled for a through-bolt to anchor the steering and autopilot tiller. With composite stocks, a drive tiller is machined to clamp on, as keys and through-bolts aren’t used. I typically pick the drive unit location first and build the structure to fasten its base. Use clamp bolts to hold the tiller and fine-tune the height and travel of the drive. Mark the tiller for its key or throughbolt. If a key is going to be used, the tiller has to be sent to a machine shop to have a keyway broached. Through-bolts can be drilled in place. I drill through the center of the clamp cap on the tiller, through the stock and into the tiller arm. I’ll tap a thread in the tiller arm if it’s not easy to put a locking nut on the bolt. The drive-to-tiller attachment can be made after checking the full travel of the steering against the drive unit’s stroke. Mock up the installation more than once to get the dimensions and angles correct before committing to bolting the drive base in place and securing the tiller. n
