2015 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL • 3

Welcome to the 39th Wooden Boat Festival!

hether this is your first visit or you’ve come to all 39 Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festivals (and we know there are a few of you out there), prepare to have an incredible time. I’m not sure how it’s possible, but every year, the Festival feels as familiar as it does fresh. It’s always a reunion of friends and the faithful, families who bring their boats and excitement, year after year, to see what gorgeous piece of functional craftsmanship decides to grace Port Townsend with its heritage for this best weekend of the year. At one birthday shy of “over the hill,” we have our rituals: the races, the sail-by, the hundred or so expert presentations and classes with experts from all over the world, the Bell Tolls ceremony to honor those maritime legends who have gone over the bar, the Friday- and Saturday-night dance parties, where we kick up our heels and celebrate until tomorrow. Whether you come for your second, third or 30th Festival, there is a rhythm of friendly familiarity to it all. Whether you are in the moment or looking back or forward to festivals past and future, it’s hard not to smile. With all of the ritual and tradition – along with the fact that every year the pace of wooden boat construction is far outpaced by that of wooden boats falling prey to neglect, the elements and eventually the landfill – you might think that things would feel the same, or get stale in the repetition. I’m happy to report that the passion and creativity that brought wooden boats into the world to begin with, or that fueled the traditional craft renaissance of the 1970s, is alive and well, and continues

Pool are other new, fun features. We are equally excited to be maintaining the high level of instruction and education from our world-class presenters that you have come to expect! We will have seven stages running all weekend, with two stages dedicated to woodworking and wooden boatbuilding skills. People come to the Festival for all kinds of reasons, to experience the boats, to learn and to teach, to hear stories and tell a few, to meet with old friends and make new ones, to volunteer and be a part of something, to spend a great family day away from screens, and sometimes just to dance to a favorite band. No matter what your reasons, we are sure that once you step onto Festival grounds, see the beauty of the harbor filled with gorgeous boats, stroll past the wooden R2AK finishers and hear the stories flowing from the R2AK booth, take in the sight of the hand-carved carousel in Kids’ Cove and the sounds of kids building boats, enjoy the smell of organic corn cooking, listen to the music of the Main Stage, head out to The Point past the laughter at the Paddleboard Pool and the buzz of excitement at the Edensaw Boatbuilding Challenge, by the time you arrive at the Wee Nip pub to enjoy a microbrew, you will be swept up in the magic. With the beautiful blend of new and old, innovative and traditional, we are sure this year will be the “Best Festival Ever” – for the 39th consecutive year!

Pocock Rowing Shells A Living Museum in Port Townsend

By Sally Giesler

A whole new interest in wooden racing shells has developed since the bestselling book “The Boys in the Boat” by Daniel James Brown hit the shelves in June 2013. The book tells the story of the University of Washington Men’s Rowing Team and their race at the 1936 Olympics, held in Berlin, Germany. George Pocock, a champion rower and coach, built the Husky Clipper for the UW crew, the wooden shell that carried the boys to the Olympic gold in 1936. The legacy of George Pocock’s perfect racing vessels lives on through Port Townsend’s Rat Island Rowing and Sculling Club. The club has one of the best collections of working wooden Pocock shells

in the world. A small group of rowers founded the rowing club as a branch of the Wooden Boat Foundation back in the 1990s, and have been collecting wooden racing shells ever since. The first wooden shell in the fleet was the Quinault, a sweep boat for eight rowers and a coxswain, built in 1949 for the Navy Men’s crews. The club acquired the Hoh, a sweep four built in 1959, in 2001. Extensive restoration on the Hoh by Steve Chapin of Point Hudson Boat Shop caught the attention of Stan Pocock, George’s son, who asked to trade three additional boats in exchange for having the Hoh displayed at the Pocock Center. The Oho, a sweep four and the sister boat to the Hoh, the Husky Challenger, a sweep eight, and the Lorna Smith, a

fiberglass quad, were all acquired in the trade. Stan also persuaded Bill Tytus, the succeeding owner of Pocock Racing Shells, to give to Steve Chapin the forms, tools, and some of the wood to build the cedar singles, just as his father had built them. The first one Steve built is the Legacy, which resides above the boat shop in the Northwest Maritime Center. Over the last 10 years, many wooden shells have been donated because of the club’s commitment to preserving the legacy of George Pocock and his son, Stan. As a Rat Island Rower myself, I speak for the club when I say we love to row them, just as George wanted for his boats. In this way we like to think of our boathouse as a living museum, breathing life into these boats that could

have otherwise become obsolete. As we say, “The boys may be gone, but the boats live on.” Steve Chapin gives a talk on “Building Wooden Pocock Shells” in the Discovery Room of the Boat Shop Building 3:45-4:45 pm on Saturday, Sept. 12. The Wooden Boat Race for

all Annual Human-Powered Watercraft is 10 am Saturday, Sept. 12 at the Northwest Maritime Center Boathouse. Come early to see all the wooden rowing shells on the beach. (Sally Giesler of Port Townsend is member of the Rat Island Rowing and Sculling Club.)

Rabinowitz is Poster Artist

Neil Rabinowitz began photographing marine and adventure sports nearly 30 years ago, racing and cruising numerous times across the Atlantic, the Pacific and most of the Seven Seas. His portfolio includes more than 2,500 magazine covers, appearing in Sports Illustrated, National Geographic, Men’s Journal, Outside, numerous books, calendars, clients such as Nike, Rolex, Lexus and nearly every boating magazine out there. He travels for advertising and editorial clients, photographing everything from architecture, air-to-air, to

adrenalin action around the globe. Throughout his career, wooden boats have been a passionate subject, ever since he worked as a teenager in boatyards, apprenticed at Hinckley’s in Maine and later with George Stadel, photographing while he helped restore Nina, Bounding Home, Valiant (the Lawley sloop) and Pete Culler’s Sea Star. He travels extensively, photographing the world’s most glamorous yachts, but cherishes his roots in the simple craft and grace of wooden boats. He works from his studio on Bainbridge

Chuck Henry and his wife moved to Port Townsend in 1977, just in time to attend the first-ever Wooden Boat Festival as curious new local residents and boat fanciers. Chuck actually paid to get in for the first few festivals (unlike some other local residents who know the path from Chetzemoka Park to Point Hudson), and became interested in volunteering for the festival as age, thrift and the need for free T-shirts grew. He started volunteering for the docks crew sometime in the late 20th century as a free way to get in for all three days, stand around and look at boats, and

schmooze, kibitz, BS, eat and serve the public in return for, again, the free T-shirts. (They are really good T-shirts!) About 10 years ago (or more – at his age, he can’t remember dates that well), Chuck joined the Festival staff as dock safety captain (aka Duke of Docks) and enjoys hanging around with those who conspire to put on a safe, fun, laidback annual boat show and gathering of interesting boat lovers. He still manages to come up with an annual supply of new stories (some true, some ... interesting) and loves being a part of the scenery. You will see him wandering around from dock to dock, coffee

Julian Arthur grew up in West Seattle during the 1950s and 60s and started working on boats shortly after high school. What began as a few isolated projects quickly turned into a profession as Julian and other members of his family saw one opportunity after another arise in the world of boatbuilding. Julian’s father, Ben Arthur, first purchased a 50’ steel vessel, to refurbish and use as a charter boat in Westport during the 1962 World’s Fair. He soon decided they could build their own fiberglass boats, so he started a company and opened shop in Burien, Wash. Julian worked on the boats during the winter months and spent his summers traveling across country professionally racing flat track motorcycles. In 1968 the company was looking to change locations. They stumbled across a little town where the land was cheap and largely undeveloped, and they moved their business across the Puget Sound to Port Townsend. Skookum Marine, as the business was called, built a shop (the shop that is currently occupied by Gold Star Marine) and began production of custom sail and powerboats from 28’ to 70’ in length. There were no docks at that time in the marina and Julian remembers the ferry, Defiance, was parked right outside the shop. It was a good time to be building boats, and Skookum Marine built more than 400 over the years. In l980, they built a large shop on Workman Road and would truck the hulls down to the water to be launched. Julian’s wife, Sue, joined him in the business and they continued to build fishing vessels for Alaska until 1989, but by the end of the 80s they had decided to downsize, and they closed doors on Skookum Marine. At this point, Julian began transitioning into the occupation that anyone affiliated with the Port of Port Townsend knows him for today. He bought a truck-mounted mobile crane and before long, Julian Arthur Crane Service was born. Julian operated the crane for 25 years and has literally taken thousands of masts and engines out of boats. Knowing the importance in every mast pulling/ replacement, he honored the “big deal” that it was with caution, care and experience, and has helped many people in the process. He has run into sailors as far away as the Virgin Islands who instantly recognize him as the guy who “put the mast on my boat in Port Townsend just a couple of weeks ago.” Earlier this year, he sold his crane business to Gus Sebastian of Port Townsend. Julian likely wouldn’t have predicted it himself, but standing ahead of him in 1962, alongside a lifetime of adventures, a beautiful family, and lots and lots of motorcycle racing, was a 50-year career in the marine trades. 1 2

The Wooden Boat Foundation & WoodenBoat Magazine Lifetime Achievement in Boatbuilding & Design “ T e d ” B r e w e r

Ted was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in 1933. By 1957, he was a lieutenant in the Canadian Army, but resigned his commission in order to return to his first true love, boating. He started off as a yacht broker with George Cuthbertson, who later founded C&C Yachts. At the same time, Ted kept busy working on his West Lawn School of Yacht Design course. His career progressed with the help, guidance, and education that came with working alongside George, and with a man named Dick Telford, a boat designer, builder, mentor and friend. Several years later, in the late 1960s, Ted took an opportunity to move to Connecticut and work for A.E. “Bill” Luders Jr. as an assistant designer. With Bill, he worked tirelessly on everything from 5.5-meter sloops, 12-meter America’s Cup racers, ocean racing yachts and power boats. In 1967, Ted found himself in Maine, still doing all of Luders’ drafting. In partnership with Bob Wallstrom, he produced more than 100 custom production designs. In the mid 1970s, Ted pioneered his wildly successful, well-known radius bilge method of building metal hulls. In 1979, Ted moved to Washington state and over the next 20 years would produce 160 more designs. In 1999, Ted and his wife Betty returned to Canada and settled on Gabriola Island, B.C. where he designed a few more custom yachts, sold stock plans, wrote for boating magazines, and donated time lecturing at Silva Bay Shipyard school. In 2006, they moved to Agassiz, B.C. In addition to completing more than 270 designs, Ted has written three books. One of them, “Understanding Boat Design,” is now in its fourth edition and has been a popular design primer for 30 years. He is now mainly retired, but has had a career full of passion and adventure, and is thrilled to be receiving the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award in Boatbuilding & Design.

Garden said of his modified ‘Coastal Express’ design; “This is a yacht for the connoisseur… don’t think a boat like this can be built by anybody, it takes great craftsmanship. The work of the Philbrook’s crew is superb, especially in the interior finishing.” Now you can be the proud owner of this true Northwest classic motor yacht. Her hull is double-planked cedar with a fine entry described by Garden as, “the most efficient shape possible for a boat of this displacement and velocity”.

Rescue on the High Seas Famed Nonfiction Writer to Detail Bounty, ‘Finest Hours’ Rescues

By Jonathan Glover When the Bounty was taking on water, and the Mayday call finally went out, it was too late. By the time the U.S. Coast Guard arrived, what they found was a tall ship, almost completely submerged, with most of the crew nearby in a raft. “I remember the rescue swimmer telling me that when he released from the cable, he said, ‘I’ve got many years of experience but the current was ripping me right into the waves. I’ve done a lot of rescues but I’ve never seen anything like that,’” said Michael Tougias, co-author of “Rescue of the Bounty: Disaster and Survival in Superstorm Sandy,” with Douglas Campbell. Tougias is giving a Wooden Boat Festival presentation on the Bounty’s demise, complete with slides and information not found in his book. Determined not to bore audiences like some authors, he instead wants them to “feel like they’re in the middle of the storm.” “I love to see the audience on the edge of their seat,” said Tougias, who is also giving a presentation on another rescue mission book-turnedHollywood movie, “The Finest Hours” starring Chris Pine and Casey Affleck, which is set to release Jan. 29, 2016. “Sometimes I’ll hear gasps when certain parts come up or I’ll hear laughs when research didn’t go as planned.” The Bounty’s sinking was a much-publicized and studied event and even so, questions still linger why Bounty Capt. Robin Walbridge decided to sail through the eye of Hurricane Sandy. He and another crew member, Claudene Christian, lost their lives at sea Oct. 29, 2012. “My big question was, ‘what in the world was it doing on the high seas when this hurricane was so well forecast?’” Tougias said. The original HMS Bounty 1 4

The Bounty was a replica ship of the original HMS Bounty. It was built in 1960 and foundered Oct. 29, 2012 after taking on too much water in Hurricane Sandy. According to Michael Tougias, author of “Rescue of the Bounty: Disaster and Survival in Superstorm Sandy,” the Bounty was painted green in 2006 following a series of upgrades from the original yellow it wore for 46 years.

was a tall ship that sailed as part of the Royal Navy in the 18th century, made famous by its infamous mutiny led by acting Lieutenant Fletcher Christian. A replica of the Bounty was built in 1960 for the 1962 motion picture “Mutiny on the Bounty” starring Marlon Brando. Since it first set sail from Nova Scotia where it was built, the Bounty has bounced from port to port and from film to film. It had been in many feature-length films such as “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” and “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.” Barb Trailer, Port Townsend Wooden Boast Festival director, said she has been interested in getting

Tougias to present for years, knowing his knowledge of daring sea rescues would be exciting for all audiences, not just mariners. “It’s really fun to have a blend of adventure and a lot of learning and education,” Trailer said. “It’s not just an educational thing that a sailor wants to learn, it’s a broader appeal. Who doesn’t want to know what happened to the Bounty?” THE BOUNTY According to Tougias, the Bounty left port in New London, Conn., on route to St. Petersburg, Fla., on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012. The Bounty’s owner, HMS Bounty Organization, was pushing for the financially-sinking ship to make it to Florida in time for a

tourist event that would raise money. The ship sank at sea four days later about 90 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Tougias said the crew realized the boat could not avoid the storm and tried too late to reach port. Complications led to pumps not working, which led to more water and the ship rolling at about 4 am Saturday, Oct. 29. Before embarking, Walbridge gathered the crew together and asked whether or not they should make the voyage or wait, knowing Hurricane Sandy was fast approaching, Tougias said. “The way he presented that option to them was in a group setting,” Tougias said. “It gets into this group dynamic of

not wanting to let your team down, don’t want to be the only one to step out.” CLOSE TO HOME Jake Beattie, Northwest Maritime Center executive director, sailed with Walbridge on the Bounty for 18 months, starting in 1999. As a freshout-of-college 22-year-old, Beattie said he would have done anything Walbridge asked. Beattie said Walbridge was a “sea-daddy” of sorts – someone who shapes you into who you are and believes in you. He said if put in the same situation at 22, faced with hurricane conditions, that he would have gone on the voyage. “Not only is your inherent trust in this person because of their experience, but there’s this implied fear of breaking

that allegiance,” Beattie said. “Yeah, I totally would have been there.” In fact, in 2000, Beattie found himself in similar conditions as the day the Bounty sank in 2012. “The stories that came out of that event were remarkably similar in tone and content to an event that happened when I was on board where we put out a Mayday call, probably within 100 miles of where the Bounty sank,” Beattie said. Though it wasn’t in a hurricane, Beattie said he was two-

floors underneath the deck, pumping water and fixing engines as the unofficial “engineer” and official third-mate – a position he inherited a few months after signing up. Beattie said the Bounty took on so much water that U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy officials had to assist the boat with larger pumps to keep it from sinking. Before sailing, Beattie said Walbridge’s verbiage in preparing the crew was almost identical to reports that surfaced after the Bounty’s sinking.

This infrared picture was taken by the U.S. Coast Guard of the Bounty sinking on Oct. 29, 2012. It was on a voyage from New London, Conn., on its way to St. Petersburg, Fla. By Capt. Walbridge’s orders, the Bounty sailed directly into hurricane Sandy’s path. Submitted photo

“A lot of the words people are saying, you know, ‘The ship leads us, we don’t lead the ship’ and ‘The ship’s safer

at sea in a hurricane than it is on shore,’ direct quotes that I can remember,” Beattie said. “Like, I can hear his voice saying them.” According to Tougias, while researching the book, he and his co-author Campbell were able to paint a pretty descriptive picture of Walbridge, the events that led up to the sinking, and the sinking itself. “People tell me, ‘I felt like I was on the boat with this group, I read it in a two-day period,’” Tougias said.

In 1962, and again in 2008, the Bounty visited the Salish Sea on its way to Seattle.

Tougias is an author of fiction novels as well, including “There’s a Porcupine in my Outhouse” and “Until I Have No Country.” He also co-wrote a memoir, “The Cringe Chronicles: Mortifying Misadventures with my Dad,” with his daughter, Kristin Tougias. (Jonathan Glover is a senior at Central Washington University, in Port Townsend on a summer news internship with the Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader.)

A Hollywood movie is in production on “The Finest Hours,” with the film set to release Jan. 29, 2016. The presentation is at 3:45 pm Saturday, Sept. 12 in the Northwest Maritime Center Olympic and Cascade rooms with about a 200-person capacity. SUNDAY, NOON Tougias’ second presentation is on “The Rescue of the Bounty: The Daring Disaster and Survival in Superstorm Sandy,” a look at the Bounty’s sinking off the coast of North Carolina in 2012, and the Coast Guard’s rescue of 15 crew. The presentation is at noon on Sunday, Sept. 13 in the Northwest Maritime Center Cascade Room with about a 100-person capacity. 2015 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL • 1 5

Idea Launched at Festival Goes Viral By Jake Beattie Race to Alaska’s history and the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival are inexorably linked. It was around a table in the beer garden at the 2013 Festival where the idea fell out of our collective heads: put up a ridiculous-sounding sum of money as a first prize in a norules race to Alaska, and see what happens. It was at the 2014 Wooden Boat Festival where we formally announced that the race was on for June 2015, and this year we are going to take the opportunity to reconvene teams and fans to celebrate the race just run and make an announcement about 2016. THE WHAT & WHY R2AK was the first engineless boat race between the Lower 48 states and Alaska. It was organized under a set of rules that tried to stay out of the way of the purity of the experience of the racers by prioritizing simplicity, creativity and resiliency as organizing concepts. The rules: • Get a boat without an engine; no limits on length or number of crew, just no engine onboard, including generators. • Be self-supported; racers could get help along the way, but no support boats and no prearranged help of any kind. • Other than two waypoints, free choice of course. • First prize is $10,000. Second prize is a set of steak knives. • No classes or handicaps, “run what you brung,” make a guess at the best boat to make

the trip in and then go. There were a few more rules, but we summed it all up with something we called Rule 8: “If we determine that we need a lawyer to figure out whether you are disqualified or not, you are automatically disqualified.” That’s what it was; why is a bigger subject. Part of it was to reintroduce people to engineless travel, to change the conversation about what investment you really need to make to be on the water. We wanted to prove that you can have a big adventure on a simple and affordable boat, and wanted to celebrate the everyday heroes that are in all of us. For all of its speed and excitement, America’s Cup sailing is unaffordable and more than a bit appalling for how many resources rich people will throw at a boat to eek out another 10th of a knot, so we created what someone coined “The America’s Cup for Dirtbags” – and the adventures born from it were as epic as they were affordable. IN REVIEW 2015 blew our collective minds. When we launched the project a year ago, we thought we might get 10 teams to sign up. We had 55 on the starting line with 38 hoping to go all the way to Ketchikan. When the starting gun went off at 5:30 am on a squally June 4 morning, within minutes Mother Nature’s predatory nature kicked in and the race of attrition began – 13 teams exited in the qualifying leg to Victoria; the first two teams had catastrophic equipment failures within the first hour.

The race restarted in Victoria right into the open jaws of a gale force Northerly that blew for a week and caused significant carnage on the second stage of the race to Ketchikan. Only 15 teams successfully completed the race – the fastest in a blistering pace of five days, 1 hour and 55 minutes. There were stories of triumph that grew larger than what could be reduced into a time across the line, and people along the race route came out to support the teams with encouraging words, food, coffee, and dry places to stay. From around the world people read the articles in the New York Times and tuned into the tracker to watch progress – our website got more than 11 million hits during the race. Wow. FESTIVAL DISPLAY Check out the wooden boats of the R2AK on display next to the race booth, or the collection of non-wooden ones just outside of the Festival grounds. There are two presentations during the Festival; check the schedule for details. ABOUT R2AK 2016 Nice try. We announced in early August that we’re going to be doing the race again in 2016,

but we intentionally left the details up in the air. Some say it was to increase the drama, others said it was to get people to buy a few more beers at the Festival, others said it was because we truly didn’t have the details figured out. At least one of those was right. We’re going to make a few announcements about the race during the Blazer Party on Sept. 11, and then follow it up with a Q&A session the next day, and the curious will have to sit in suspended curiosity

R 2 A K

until then. Unless you are a cat, we think you’ll do just fine. Still want a hint? The race will largely be the same, with a few significant changes, a few minor ones, and a couple of exciting plot twists ... which is a long-winded version of what we already said: Stay tuned, and come to the Festival to get the straight story on the future.

Come for the race, stay for the blazers. Want to be the first to get the scoop on Race to Alaska (R2AK) 2016? Come rub elbows with R2AK teams, see the second-place steak knives, and hear the details of next year’s challenge at the tradition we just invented: the R2AK Blazer Party. In mock formality, we’ll have a rack of thrift store R2AK emblazoned jackets for the racers to wear. (If they did both stages of the race they get one with two arms.) Space is limited, and unless you were in the race, tickets are $25. Expensive? You bet your ass they are, but in the grand scheme it’s not that much for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and every little bit helps get us out of hock from last year. Plus, you get a free beer, and some snacks! Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

Sponsor Spotlight: Resort at Port Ludlow

The Resort at Port Ludlow is one of the Wooden Boat Festival’s biggest sponsors, both in terms of financial sponsorship and in participation to help make the Festival happen. In 2012, they started the Balcony Wine Bar, featuring one of the best views in all of the Festival. The resort management participates by ordering fine wines, and setting up and managing the bar throughout the weekend. Their time, as well as all financial proceeds, is donated to the Festival. In 2012, they also started a shuttle service from the Port Ludlow Resort and Marina in an effort to help with the traffic flow and make it easier for folks to get to the Festival. When our regular Sunday transit service got shut down, they stepped up and included the Haines Place Park-and-Ride on their route to get Festival-goers back to their cars. “We are sponsors because we like participating in the Wooden Boat Festival, and it’s the right thing to do for our community,” said Resort at Port Ludlow General Manager

2015 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL • 1 9

Immortalized by Steinbeck, the Western Flyer Rebuilt in Port Townsend By Robin Dudley A world-famous boat is undergoing restoration in Port Townsend: the Western Flyer, which carried author John Steinbeck to the Sea of Cortez in 1940. The 76’ wooden vessel features prominently in Steinbeck’s 1951 “The Log from the Sea of Cortez,” an account of a six-week biological collecting expedition led by Ed “Doc” Ricketts, Steinbeck’s friend and the hero of his novel “Cannery Row.” “The boat is an intersection of science and literature,” said owner John Gregg, 53, who bought the boat in early 2015 and is having it restored and modified at the Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op. It’s not an inexpensive task. The boat’s purchase price was about $1 million. “I’ve got a million and a half into it so far and probably another million and a half to go,” Gregg said. In fact, almost any other old workboat in this condition would be broken apart as a derelict vessel. “The boat arguably is worth nothing and yet it’s priceless. It’s one of those things. It’s like a piece of art.” MAN & BOAT Gregg spent his elementary school years in Puyallup, Wash., not far from Tacoma, where the Western Flyer was built and launched in 1937. He has lived many places with his family, since his father was a

In March and April of 1940, John Steinbeck and Ed “Doc” Ricketts chartered the Western Flyer out of Monterey, Calif., for a six-week biological collection expedition to Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. The original rigging was different than in later years as a commercial fishing boat; the interior remained much the same. Submitted photo

John Gregg, a native of Washington state who lives near Monterey Bay, Calif., bought the Western Flyer sight unseen. While on board in March 2015 to help scrape barnacles, Gregg said he is committed not just to preserve the boat, but to turn it into a floating science program to be used primarily for children. Photo by Patrick J. Sullivan

ment is to include a remotely operated underwater vehicle, “about the size of a microwave,” with a high-definition camera that can go to “full ocean depth, to about 1,000 meters,” Gregg said. The Western Flyer can be a portal for children, from underserved areas along the West Coast, smaller ports and urban areas, Gregg said. There are, he said, “a good number of kids who live within an hour’s drive [who] have never even seen the ocean.” He envisions the boat mostly on day trips, although he hopes to take the Western Flyer to the Sea of Cortez and also to Alaska, a trip Ricketts had planned before his untimely death in 1948. Gregg appreciates the boat’s literary connection. Steinbeck, who died in 1968, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962, when his novel “The Grapes of Wrath” won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award. Though he lives near Monterey, Calif., he was surprised at the initial reaction to his purchase. “I thought this was a little bit of a vanity project for myself, and to have had such an outpouring of happiness from people, it’s amazing.” Gregg basically bought the Western Flyer sight unseen,

with an idea of getting it to California for restoration. He said it only took a few days in the Port Townsend boatyard to realize the level of marine trades knowledge and skill clearly meant “this is where the boat needs to be taken care of.” TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES The Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op was chosen for the job, and crews moved the boat from the yard, where the initial barnacle scraping took place, into Building 1 at the former Townsend Bay Marine complex. A giant cradle was built and the boat was moved onto it with Egyptian rollers, an ancient technology. Gregg cannot satisfy Steinbeck purists who would prefer the boat to be just like it was during the Sea of Cortez adventure. Most of the exterior wood, and all electronic and mechanical systems, will be new. The original engine is missing, and only two of that type of 160-horsepower motors are known to operate. Instead, it will have a custom diesel, hybrid-electric propulsion system that can go “six or seven hours off an initial charge,” Gregg said. Watertight holds below deck are among the safety improvements. “We’re trying to be very true to the original design,” Gregg

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

said, praising the hull as “super efficient,” with a “wineglass shape that moves through the water really elegantly.” Chris Chase, lead shipwright on the job, said he is tasked with recreating the vessel as it was in 1940. Seventyfive percent of the materials will be new, he said. Instead of screws, which are used in repair jobs because they hold old wood together, the new fasteners are boat spikes manufactured by the Tremont Nail Company. Co-op shipwrights are replacing every steam-bent frame – 62 pairs – and half of the 18 sawn frames. The frames are oak, up to 18’ long and 3 by 4 1/2” thick. They’re replacing planks as well: 2”-thick lengths of Douglas fir that range up to 30’. “Materials are becoming an issue,” Chase said, “long lengths of fir and long lengths of oak ... These boats were built when the forests were more plentiful.” While materials have changed, traditional boatbuilding has not, said Tim Lee, a Co-op shipwright and woodworker who specializes in historical aspects. “The methods haven’t changed,” he said. “For the most part, the techniques of traditional boat construction are the same.” Planks, frames, and other parts are removed and carefully measured, photographed and laser-scanned. Port Townsend naval architecture firm Tim Nolan Marine Design is using that information to create a line drawing to be used for stability

engineering, and developing the propulsion system engineering. The Western Flyer has drawn more attention than any boat in Port Townsend since the 160’ yacht Evviva was launched here in 1993 from the same complex where the Western Flyer now sits. The boat is visible when the building’s huge doors are open. Spectators are welcome, but for safety, people must keep their distance. Pleased to see a Pacific Northwest workboat get so much attention – at least 10 people a day stop by to look –

L e a r n

Lee and Chase discussed the boom in local shipbuilding in the 1930s and 40s, “the machines, the timber, the trades” driving so much new boat construction, which represents the best engineering of the era. “And they’re made to be repaired,” Lee said. “All these boats have great history,” Chase said. “This one is just well documented.” (Robin Dudley, a writer and photographer with the Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader, has crewed aboard more than 10 tall ships.)

The 1907 schooner Martha left Port Townsend on Aug. 23, 2014 on a long-aspired adventure. In the past year, she has sailed to her original homeport of San Francisco, raced classic yachts along the coast of California and competed in the 2,250 mile TransPac race from Long Beach to Honolulu. The nonprofit Schooner Martha Foundation, which owns her, raised in excess of $100,000 to reach this current goal. Support came from local and regional foundations, individuals and local Port Townsend marine trades companies. Crew members learned offshore seamanship skills and Martha qualified for ISAF (International Sailing Federation) Category 1, (Offshore Racing). On Aug. 28, 2014 Martha once again sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge. She was hosted by the San Francisco Yacht Club, as Martha is

Schooner Martha Sails the TransPac their oldest surviving flagship. She later traveled to the Channel Islands, San Diego, and on south into the Sea of Cortez. In the spring she returned to Southern California for America’s Schooner Cup, the Yesteryear Regatta and on to San Francisco for the Master Mariner’s Benevolent Association regatta and Great San Francisco Schooner Race. She was warmly welcomed at each event, with a standing invitation to return. At every port, Captain d’Arcy gave presentations on Martha’s history, restoration, and sail-training programs. The restoration was accomplished by many volunteers giving countless hours of their time, and from inkind donations from marine trades businesses in Port Townsend and beyond. He described Martha’s sailingtraining program for young people. In July, Martha sailed to

Long Beach for the major event of TransPac 2015. The TransPac Race was established in 1906, so it seemed like an authentic test for her – and she passed with flying colors. Martha completed the 2,250-mile race course by sailing 2,411 miles in 13 days, 7 hours, 28 minutes and 32 seconds. For 96 hours, Martha maintained a nine-knot average. Records indicate that winners of those first races in the early 1900s took almost exactly that long. Martha hit new record top speeds and sailed solid and true. Her captain and crew couldn’t be more proud. On board during the TransPac were Robert d’Arcy, watch captain Anne Aldrich, main trimmers John Callahan and Doug Jones, staysail trimmer Mary d’Arcy, headsail trimmers Deb Dominici and Sara Katz, navigator Craig Johnson, Pat Vinyard at the mast, Holly Kays at mid-bow and Christopher Hanke in the bow. Martha is now returned home to Port Townsend. She is making the history of her

next century, and it’s only just begun. To support Martha’s care

and her youth sailing programs, go to schoonermartha.org.

History Highlight Bill Noon Led by Sir John Franklin, 129 men set sail from England in 1845 in search of the Northwest Passage. The expedition boasted the most technologically advanced ship of that time, with thousands of provisions that were to last for three years. After four years with no word from the expedition, the Royal Navy and the public decided to launch several search and rescue expeditions to locate the lost expedition. For several years, the rescue expeditions yielded only bits and pieces of the expedition’s final days. One of the most significant finds in these rescue expeditions was three well-preserved (due to the cold temperatures) corpses

of the Franklin expedition buried in one of the small rock islands dotting arctic Canada. After 150 years of searching, in September 2014 the lost Franklin ship was found in the icy waters of the Arctic. Bill Noon, captain of the Coast Guard ship that found the Franklin Expedition’s lost ship Erebus, gives a presentation on this exciting discovery. “Erebus was one of the great exploration ships of its era, of any era,” says John Geiger, CEO of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. “To find it in such an incredible state of preservation represents a great moment for Canada, for Britain, and for those throughout the world with an interest in geography and exploration.” Come hear the firsthand account of their success after centuries of failed attempts.

Ralph Naranjo Don’t miss the opportunity to learn directly from this technical expert, author, and one of the most respected sailors around. Ralph has been an authoritative voice in the marine community for more than 30 years, and is currently the electronics editor of SAIL magazine and the technical editor of Practical Sailor. During his 10-year stint as the Vanderstar Chair at the U.S. Naval Academy, he augmented safety and seamanship training and played a key role in the development of the new sail-training sloops purchased by the Navy. His sailing background includes a five-year family voyage around the world, the management and development of a full-service boatyard, and a regular written presence in boating magazines, journals and books. He and his wife, Lenore, have made two other lengthy cruises aboard Wind Shadow, a 41’ sloop the Naranjos have owned for more than three decades. During the past 15 years he has moderated U.S. Sailing Safety at Sea Seminars across the country, and now as an adjunct lecturer

World Traveler Sea Dart at Home in PT If the stories are true, prolific author and adventurer Tristan Jones’ boat Sea Dart has been more places than any other boat in the world. Sea Dart sailed the lowest water in the world, the Dead Sea, and was hauled hundreds of miles overland to sail on the highest water in the world, Lake Titicaca. The boat has been hauled up mountains on ropes, sailed up the Amazon and back down to the Atlantic. Sea Dart was supposedly the first boat to sail through the Panama Canal into the Pacific. She’s been sailed down the West Coast of South America, hauled down the side of the Andes to the River Paraguay, and fought through the “Green Hell” of the Mato Grosso

in Brazil on the way to Buenos Aires. She was damaged in Paraguay and shipped back to England on a steamship. Somehow the boat made its way to the West Coast of the U.S., and ended up being owned by the State of Idaho Parks and Recreation Department for a number of years. In 2014, Sea Dart was donated to the Northwest Maritime Center and is once again out on the water, introducing a new generation to sailing and adventure.

Vixen Comes Home

A Classic Returns After 11-Year Circumnavigation By Bruce Halabisky In early December of 2013, Vixen, my 34-foot gaff cutter, reached down the long Atlantic swells off the coast of West Africa. The decks and rigging were coated with a fine layer of red dust blown off the Sahara Desert; a few flying fish dried in the scuppers after their strandings during the night. No one attended the helm; Vixen – with her magic-like ability that I always marveled at – steered herself. Below decks slept my wife, Tiffany, and our two daughters, Solianna and Seffa Jane. I thought about our destination a couple hundred miles ahead – Dakar, Senegal and the Casamance River. Looking at the chart, I could see that the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott lay just 20 miles to the east. “What if we just jibed over, rocked up to Nouakchott and dropped anchor,” I wondered as I tried to pronounce the capital’s name aloud. The pilot guide suggested this whimsical thought was not a good idea: “Nouakchott should be avoided at all costs as visiting vessels have been impounded and their crews imprisoned on charges of espionage during the sporadic Mauritanian revolutionary war.” OK, so much for Nouakchott. As the morning sun of Africa warmed my face, I held our course for Dakar and thought about the first time I had ever seen Vixen. It had been at the 2002 Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend. I’d just recently met Tiffany and we were walk-

ing the docks. Vixen was in the final stages of a 12-year restoration under the ownership of Les and Libby Schnick. And she was for sale. I remember Libby was busy talking with someone on the dock; we just gave a nod and slipped below to see the interior. The boat had been built in 1952 for a man named James Stark and had sailed around the world in the ‘50s so we knew she had a lot of history; despite the extensive overhaul, there was still a strong feeling of the past in Vixen’s interior. Gimbaled brass lanterns and varnished knotty pine added to the effect. The inch-and-a-half thick planking cut off the Festival sounds. Tiffany and I found a seat next to the diesel stove near the forward bulkhead. It felt like we had entered another world. We were not consciously looking to buy a boat (after all, we had only just recently met) but I remember being struck by the boat’s solidity and a vague awareness of what Vixen must have encountered on her first trip around the world. “You know, Tiffany,” I remember saying in a hushed tone.“With this boat you could go anywhere ... just about anywhere.” I later read what Vixen’s designer, John Atkin, had written in Rudder Magazine in the 1950s: “Vixen was conceived and grew into a mature, wholesome, modestly fast and able vessel, aboard which one might venture forth and return from the unknown in safety and com-

Bruce and Tiffany Halabisky and their daughters, Solianna and Seffa Jane, aboard the Vixen. 4 8

fort. While all manner of opinions come to mind involving just what constitutes the ideal world cruiser, it is my opinion that Vixen, considering her size and overall characteristics, comes pretty close to fulfilling most of these requirements in a highly satisfactory manner.” A couple of months after the Festival, I made an offer and bought Vixen. Two years later Tiffany and I were onboard Vixen sailing to Hawaii. Now, after 11 years of voyaging, we have taken Vixen around the world, which included crossing the Pacific and Indian Oceans and three trans-Atlantic Oceans. The vessel John Atkin designed for James Stark was typical of Atkin’s earlier work, and that of his father – a double-ended, heavy-displacement, full-keeled boat in the spirit of the Norwegian designer Colin Archer. Even in 1952, the gaff rig was anachronistic but Atkin believed in the safety of the low-aspect rig and its power when running off the wind. It is on the open ocean that Vixen performs best. Her heavy displacement imparts a sense of security. The bowsprit, lowaspect rig and long, traditional keel keep her on course. In fact,

we have no self-steering gear except for a line running from the staysail to the tiller. Perhaps Vixen’s most redeeming feature is her ability to heave-to in a gale without any fuss or worry. Below decks, Vixen has the classic layout of a boat from the 1950s, with a head to starboard, a generous amount of room for the galley, two sea berths port and starboard and a double berth in the forepeak. Being double-ended, the stern has less room than a transomended vessel but still offers a fair amount of storage and houses a Perkins 4-108 diesel engine for auxiliary power. Overall, Vixen is a fairly simple boat without a lot of electronics or gadgetry. One 65-watt solar panel provides plenty of electricity to run the VHF radio, interior lights and navigation lights. There are no roller-furlers or electric winches to help manage the sails, and this makes Vixen a physical boat to sail. Considering we might raise anchor a hundred times a year, Vixen’s Muir electric windlass is a much-appreciated piece of equipment. Aside from the highly functional aspect of Vixen and, to

my eye, her beauty, there is the psychological comfort of knowing she has done it all before. She has weathered gales and wallowed in calms. She has fought her way off lee shores and romped downwind in the trades. Once, in Whangarei, New Zealand, we had Vixen out of the water to put on some bottom paint. An old sea dog walked up, planted his feet squarely, pointed at Vixen and proclaimed, “I anchored next to your boat – Tahiti, 1957.” The genius of John Atkin was his ability to recognize what was essential for a safe, comfortable cruising boat and then incorporate these elements into a shape that was pleasing to the eye. Having now sailed twice around the world, Vixen has proven to be a fine example of Atkin’s work. And, if the Mauritanian revolution ever simmers down, Vixen will be the boat to take us just about anywhere – even Nouakchott. (Don’t miss Bruce’s presentation: “The 11 Year Voyage of Vixen – Closing the Circle” Saturday, 10:45-11:45 am, Cascade Room or Sunday, 10:45-11:45, am, Discovery Room.)
