Just Ducky: Go to Tampa Bay
A couple of years ago we purchased an older boat in Connecticut. The hull, a 35-foot Duffy, was finished by Malcolm Pettegrow in Southwest Harbor, Maine. I have spent the past couple of years restoring the boat, and she’s still a work in progress. She is moored on the Merrimack River when not cruising in Maine, Boothbay and beyond. We deliberated on a name for a long time. Downeast is where we like to cruise, and Points East was a logical choice. Dave Goodwin m/v Points East Plaistow, N.H.
I read “It Was All Just Ducky: Part 2” by Pamela Mormino (Midwinter 2015) with great enthusiasm. They were going to explore the Gulf Coast of Florida. To my dismay they did not go up far enough; they stopped at Fort Meyers. They missed Tampa Bay and the rest of the Gulf Coast up to Deston and beyond. Tampa Bay area is my favorite destination – not by boat, but by air or driving. Not that I would not like to, but I am afraid I would not qualify for a delivery crew person. I have seen that Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, just down the road from me, has delivered a few pilot and patrol boats to the Maryland area and to St. Petersburg in Tampa Bay. That would be a great trip, but I have trouble with my knees and walking. But I can dream of the trip. I hope the Mormino couple cruises down to Florida again, but, this time, gets up to Tampa Bay. And don’t worry about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge: It’s 191 feet above the 1,200-foot-wide shipping channel. Your 59foot mast will have plenty of room. When you go down again, be sure to write about your trip for the rest of us stuck on the hard until spring (what’s another trip to The Sunshine State, but pure joy). We do safety patrols, with station Menemsha, in Buzzards Bay in the summer out of South Dartmouth. Ken Tait, Sr. Seekonk, Mass.

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I really enjoyed the Points East diesel seminar on Jan. 31. Bob Gerwig did an outstanding job of taking us through the systems and principals of the diesel engine. The timing could not have been better for me as I purchased a 1985 Crosby Canyon last year, powered by a CAT 3208, which I have no experience with. Bob took the time with each of his to address our questions specific to our engines and inform us of what to look out for and how to service the engines. www.pointseast.com
In the last issue, Randy Randall, co-owner of Marston’s Marina, in Saco, Maine, told us, in “Letters,” that he had received an email from Tom and Karlene Osborne – members of the Centerboard Y.C. in Portland, Maine – about their cruise south last fall. Here it is: Left Portland, Maine on Oct. 1, and have arrived in Florida. We are on a mooring at Fernandina Harbor Marina for a couple of days. Yesterday we traveled on bad sections of the ICW in Georgia, and had to leave St. Simons Island before Points East March/April 2015

dawn to avoid low tide and going aground again. We are almost in a stupor realizing we have made it, and we have lived on a 40-foot boat for two months. And we’re still together! We made it to our niece’s at St. Simons on Sunday, late for Thanksgiving, but were so glad to sleep in a real bed and be with them. I couldn’t say good-bye, and thought about just staying there as the area was so beautiful. We now will try to figure out where we will settle for a bit, visit my cousins in Sebastian, Venice and Dunnellon, Fla. We helped, and had a lot of help from, the Sail Magazine Rally sailors while trying to motor in really bad parts of the ICW in the past week, and we celebrated with them last night. We are also surprised and happy that this marina is so reasonably priced. This morning, we had the appraiser from our boat insurance company, BoatUS, look at the damage done to our boat from a cabin cruiser on Thanksgiving. Now we will have to get the damage repaired somewhere in Florida. The owner of the cabin cruiser is docked at this marina, also. Don’t know if we are following them, or they us. In any event, they are very nice so far. The skipper of the cabin cruiser had tried to dock his 55foot boat, which he’d purchased three weeks earlier, next to us during high winds and a horrible current. Looks like we are missing some nasty weather in Maine. We woke up to dense fog this morning and thought for a minute that we were back in Maine. @##$%! Karlene and the Captain S/v Nest Egg In transit
Women Under Sail 20 years old Twenty years! Wow! How can that be? There’s a saying – “time flies when you’re having fun” – that is so true. The time has flown by, and we have had so much fun. When I was young, and a new nursing graduate, I couldn’t imagine having to “put in my 20 years.” Now I am looking back on 38 years of nursing, as many as a sailor, and celebrating my 20th year with Women Under Sail. I didn’t just wake up one morning and say, “I am going to have a sailing school for women.” Women Under Sail has evolved, as I have. Over two decades ago, while working as a nurse, and psychotherapist, I had a goal of somehow getting more of my work on the water. At the time, I envisioned doing group therapy on the boat, but I couldn’t wear both therapist’s and skipper’s caps. I then started Freeport Sailing Adventures, a charter business, and Women Under Sail evolved. I listened to friends, customers and fellow sailors, and here

MC3 Amanda L. Owens Navy Office of Community Outreach I am with a three- or six-day live-aboard sailing school for beginner, intermediate and advanced women sailors based out of Freeport, Maine. In those 20 years, I have taught close to 800 women from all walks of life, all areas of the country, and even one movie star. Many of my students have gone on to own their own boats, make major passages, and have learned to love to sail. During those 20 years, my husband and I made three passages from Maine to the Caribbean, as far as Venezuela, and one coastal trip to the Bahamas. All have been wonderful, and each has had something more to teach us. I learned to sail in Northern Michigan on Lake Superior. My mentor was a serious, skilled sailor, thus I learned the mechanics of sailing well. Upon arriving in Maine, I immediately fell in love with the beauty of the Maine coast, and I bought my second sailboat. A 25-foot Hunter. I thought I was a confident sailor, but quickly learned that sailing in New England waters is much more than just knowing how to sail a boat. I didn’t know how to read a chart. I knew nothing about tides, rocks and fog. The first time (note I say “first”) I hit a rock, I exclaimed “What in the world was that?” I had a lot to learn. From this realization came a greater love of sailing and all of the other challenges to be mastered: chart reading, weather, navigation, safety, engine and boat maintenance – and managing the situations that arise when on a large body of water controlled by Mother Nature. During my years at Women Under Sail, we’ve enLETTERS, continued on Page 10

LETTERS, continued from Page 8 countered many unexpected challenges – from weather changes, rigging failures, engine issues, and emotional issues – and we always learn from them. I might be sweating bullets, and the students will say, “Wow, that was a great learning experience.” Stuff happens, and we learn. I am asked frequently, “Why only women?” There are many reasons: Women learn better with women. We feel less vulnerable, and know we are all on the same page, with the same goal. Women Under Sail is much more than a sailing class. It is an adventure, a challenge, and a gift you give yourself. It is about empowerment – an opportunity to challenge yourself physically and mentally, and face fears and anxieties head on. We are a group of four or five women who join together with a common goal of learning more about sailing, often addressing fears or discomforts related to boating.
Within a few hours, we know a great deal about one another. We bond, we share our special skills, fears and anxieties, and individuality. We talk about everything. We laugh. We heal from past experiences. Using a supportive team approach, and sailing as a metaphor for life, I encourage the women to talk about, and get in touch with, who they are as women and sailors, not what they are in a career. Each individual is unique, but we easily blend, learning and laughing together. We all know that when savvy, multitasking women get together, the result will be a little bit of everything. The experience becomes a three-day slumber party along the coast of Maine aboard a beautiful classic yacht with great food, great company, hard work, and tremendous personal satisfaction. What more could I ever have asked for? Capt. Sharon Renk-Greenlaw Freeport, Maine
MYSTERY HARBOR/And th e win ner is...
What a guy will do to get a free Points East hat So, it is just not recognizing the harbor but writing an essay as to how we identify with the harbor in order to claim our valued chapeau. Well, I have lived, worked, and boated on this harbor for 35 years. It’s Camden, Maine, photographed from Library Park. I recognized the harbormaster’s Boat and the schooner Surprise. In the middle of the picture is Richard Stetson’s restored 1938 Elco motor yacht. 10 Points East March/April 2015
It was an unusual angle that the picture was taken from that didn’t allow recognition immediately. But within a couple of minutes, one could make out some familiar boats, especially the harbormaster’s tender, the dinghy dock, and numerous boats of friends on their inner-harbor floats. It is a long wait to get an inner-harbor float in Camden, so the same boats are on the same floats almost every year. editor@pointseast.com
We all must know the virtues of Camden: It’s scenic beauty, great food – both prepared and fresh – good hiking and walking, and a community that puts it’s soul into learning and reading. We still have four independent bookstores, and a library that rivals any town’s. If you are a visiting cruiser, the disadvantage is that the anchorage in the outer harbor can tend to roll, so I might suggest trying the town harbormaster for a slip, or to see if he might have a float available in the inner harbor. Wayfarer Marine and P.G. Willey can also offer this service, but being a selectman in town, I’ll push what we have to offer. There is also fuel at Wayfarer and full-service repair if you are experiencing any problems. Be sure to visit Harbor Park, perhaps take a walk up to the State Park, or just maybe our new harbor trail walk will be starting to shape up to add to the experiences that we have at our disposal in Camden Harbor. It’s a great place to visit, but a better place to live. Leonard Lookner Camden, Maine
We’ve never tired of the view It’s Camden! My wife and family live very near the harbor, and we pass it every day. In the 10 years we’ve
lived at 6 High Street, we haven’t gotten tired of the view. Camden is a great town. Jesse Bifulco Windward House Bed & Breakfast Camden, Maine
Ran hydrographic surveys here I have conducted hydrographic surveys on Camden Harbor many times over the last 41 years. I recognize the Wayfarer Marina and Camden Yacht Club, as well as the Town Landing. The picture was taken in the vicinity of the waterfall and library. Paul O’Brien via email
We’ve sailed there many times My name is Joe Krusas. My wife Kathy and I sail our Catalina 30 out of Salem, Mass. We live in Northfield, Mass. Every year we take trip along the coast of Maine. I am probably too late (because I just got my midwinter issue at the New England Boat Show), but I believe the Mystery Harbor is Camden, Maine. We have sailed into Camden many times. Thanks for publishing such a wonderful magazine. Joe Krusas Northfield, Mass.

Perspectives A bridge over troubled sailors y bridge-too-low story has made the rounds; it happened many years ago, in my boat-delivery days, during the delivery of a gorgeous, half-million dollar 50-foot yawl to Florida. But the other day I got the strangest comment at the end of my telling – this from a well-meaning lady with tiny yacht club flags on her lime-green belt. But I’ll save that for the end of this column. I will say that it was a comment on the same level as the one from a lady in Fergus Falls, Minn., uttered years ago when she heard about the adoption of Daylight Savings Time in her region: “That’s a ridiculous idea; my garden doesn’t get enough sun as it is.” Hmmmmm. Anyway, on this delivery, my crew consisted of two Mississippi River pilots, one pilot’s girlfriend, my girlfriend, and yours truly. It had been a stressful trip, mostly because of what usually happens when five people are packed into a 50-foot space and traveling 3,800 miles for 39 days (from the Great Lakes to Southeast Florida): human incompatibility. In short, no one warmed to the captain’s girlfriend, who spent most of her time uninvolved with the rest of the crew and curled up reading C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity.” As you might suspect, not many river pilots read C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity,” so this alone was a bit off-putting for these folks. My girlfriend became more and more withdrawn, and, as captain, I didn’t have the maturity to rectify the situation. Things were tense, but they were about to get a lot tenser. We were offshore – off central Florida’s Ponce de
M
Leon Inlet as I recall – when storm warnings made us retreat into the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Our first stop was a dock within walking distance from a hardware store. The goal was to buy a really long tape measure, winch our lightest crewmember up the mast with the tape, and determine our mainmast height. The specs on board said the maximum height of our rig was 63 feet above the water, but, since fixed bridges in this part of the ICW posted either 64 or 65 feet of clearance at mean high water, this was cutting it very close. I felt better measuring things for myself, and the 63 feet was confirmed. So what’s to worry about, right? We were inside now, had enough clearance to continue on in “the ditch,” and were safe from the storm, which we could now feel even in the relative protection of the waterway. So on we went – not merrily on, but on just the same. Until we came to the first fixed bridge. Now, most of us have witnessed the illusion of seeing no clearance as we stare upward while slowly going under a bridge. Well, that happened to us, too. Only it was so close that the VHF antennae bent over as we slowly crept under. Tension. “What’s going on, Cap? You sure you measured right? And it’s not even high tide,” said one of my crewmembers. Well, can’t go back now. So it’s onward to the next bridge, a few miles away. Real slow now, then reverse to stop and look up, then edge ahead and – yikes! – there’s that VHF antennae bending again; no, it’s snapped off as the head of the mast and the anemometer instrument cups just clear. Tension. “What’s going

on, Cap? You sure you measured right? And it’s not even high tide,” echoed another of my crewmembers. Well, can’t go back now. New plan: We roll out the genoa, then all of you straddle the furled mainsail, and I push out the boom (Big John, you climb way out toward the clew end) – then we wait for a big puff to heel the boat and reduce the mast height. “You sure about this plan, Cap?” said a third crewmember. “You got a better plan?” I replied. Then, phew, we just made it. Sort of. (Real sailors don’t need those silly wind instruments anyway.) Okay, crew, the chart shows close-together double-span Interstate fixed bridges next. We’ll use the same plan: Roll out the genoa, crew out on boom. Should work. Indeed, it does, and we get under the first span. But there was one thing I didn’t factor into this plan: between the spans, blocked by one huge bridge support, the wind stopped, and the big yawl turned more upright. I was now the captain of a half-million dollar yacht stuck in the small space between two U.S. Interstate Highway bridge spans. Real tension. That first crewmember chimed in: “What you going to do now, Cap? Can’t punt.” And so I did what any veteran captain would do: I drove around in circles between the two bridges, around and around and around, like a pacing caged lion, until I had a plan. It never came. But slightly

lower water did. And we finally got under. Well, minus our masthead light. (But who really needs one of those, anyway?). It was time for a cocktail. We found a tiny fishing club with a few tired docks and tied up. There was no one around. Good. We went below to drink and lick our wounds. Along about the third rum, there came a knock on the hull. It was from a tiny, baldheaded man who proclaimed himself the commodore of the tiny fishing club. “Nice boat,” he said as I stuck my head out of the companionway. “We don’t get many real yachts in here. You’re welcome to stay the night. May I come aboard?” It was then that I learned from this local that the pressure and flooding through the inlets from onshore storms can raise the normal height of the water in this part of the ICW. Where was that little fellow when I needed him? Anyway, I promised I’d tell you what the lady with the tiny yacht club flags on her lime-green belt said when I told her what you’ve just read: “Honestly, Dave, you’d think the Corps of Engineers would dredge out under those bridges so many of our bigger yachts could get through.” Hmmmmmm.

Technology rules. Live with it. omputers and smartphones are great except when they aren’t. We spent most of the last week on the boat, and I was sans computer and e-mail, even the phone was not working right. The evening before we were to leave on a planned 10day or so cruise down the coast, my four-year-old laptop did what four-year-old laptops that have been carried around on boats do – it died…mother board failure… electronic cardiac arrest. But the hard disk was OK, so no data or programs were lost. Right. I figured I could use the smartphone while on our little cruise, and I’d get a new laptop when we got back. For the first day of our cruise the phone worked fine. Then it didn’t: Phone calls, text messages and those marine apps we all have, no problem, but email and web surfing…zip…nada. I tried everything you learn in smartphone school: first a soft reset, then a hard reset, then I used Betty’s phone to call tech help at Verizon. Verizon thought my phone was about to follow my computer to that great recycling center over the ocean somewhere. Great. Thanks guys. This made me remember the good-old low-tech days, or at least back when I was significantly younger. Forty-
five or so years ago, when you went on vacation, you’d throw a few things in the back of the car, heave the canoe onto the roof, hop in, crank it up, and head off across country to Montana or maybe a Santana concert in Los Angeles. If you really needed to talk to someone, well, gas stations had pay phones and they, mostly, worked. Of course, back then, my old Dodge had a slant-six engine that could be taken apart with a simple socket set, a couple of screwdrivers and a hammer and then reassembled with the same tools and it would run. Today, if you are like me, you open the hood, peer at the mess inside and head off to the car guru. In 1996, Betty and I phoned home from Georgetown in the Bahamas to let someone know we were heading south, and then pulled the anchor and sailed off to the Caribbean. When we got to the right island, we cleared in, put a Jimmy Buffet tape in the cassette player (remember them?), and then looked for the pay phone on the dock and phoned home. On that first cruise down yonder, we left Georgetown with a primitive GPS, a full set of paper charts, my sextant, one VHF Radio, an autopilot that failed the first day out, and a rubber ducky dinghy that we carried inflated

on the foredeck…it was the life raft. We had no SSB, EPIRB, chartplotter, radar, satellite phone, working autopilot or real life raft. That’s the way a lot of people went down-island. Of course, two years later when we got tired of clearing in and out every time we went for a 15-mile sail to a different island, and turned the bow north to New England, we had acquired all that stuff and then some – except for the satellite phone; never did get one of those. We also wondered how we ever got down there in the first place. Today we’re older, we putt up and down the coast aboard a small Downeast hardtop, and we don’t seem to be able to leave the dock without three phone calls, several text messages and the odd email to friends and relatives. When we do actually leave the dock, we carry all the good stuff mentioned above – except for the satellite phone; never did get one of those. We also carry a computer (sometimes two) and two smartphones, both loaded with a full set of good, useful and maybe even necessary marine apps. Necessary apps? Well, I can check the weather on half a dozen different apps. If I don’t like what one says, I try a different one. And suppose the chartplotter fails? I have a full set of apps on the smart phone and they work pretty well. Anyway, as you can probably tell by now, I am back in the communications business, but it was a struggle. The cell phone, for reasons known to no one (Verizon included) cured itself. Buying the new computer was easy,
but it came with Windows 8, and when I tried to load the data and programs from the old computer’s hard disk, well, we won’t go into the ugly details. So, OK, I still had Microsoft Office 2007 on its original disk, but, when I put the disk in the computer, I got a polite message that said something about the disk having a three-installation license and, so sorry, but this try is No. 4. OK, the new computer came with an offer from Microsoft –for $89.00: I could download Office. After the better part of a night and three tries, I had Office 2013 for Windows 8. Office 2013 for Windows 8 is not the same as Office 2007 for Windows 7. Then, three days late, Microsoft announces a free up-grade to Windows 8.1. The learning curve has been steep, muddy and lumpy. Technology is a communicable disease, and most of us have it. Times have changed. Technology rules. Live with it. Keeps the brain in gear. A professional cartographer, Bill’s lifelong infatuation with the sea, ships and boats began in 1961 when, at 17, he went to sea on a square-rigged Norwegian school ship. He met his wife Betty – an aerospace engineer, mathematician, pilot and experienced sailor – in a sailing club in Annapolis in 1993. A year later, they left the Chesapeake on what was supposed to be a one-year, round-trip cruise, south to the Florida Keys, over to the Bahamas and back to the bay. They never returned to their former lives. They spend half the year cruising the East and Gulf coasts and the Bahamas aboard their Nauset 28.

Where everybody knows your name estled along the northern shores of the Piscataqua River – just upriver from the Route 95 Bridge and adjacent to the Spinney Creek outfall in Eliot, Maine – sits an unusual boating facility known as the Great Cove Boat Club. It’s unusual because it’s owned and operated by its members. Great Cove’s roughly 100 members annually elect a board of directors responsible for setting policy, and hiring staff, including an operations manager responsible for day-to-day operations. Each slip owner, or “key member,” gets one vote for the directors and one vote on important policy issues. Democracy in action. The facility was owned and operated by the Berounsky family as a marina, from the late 1950s to the mid 1980s. Then it was reorganized as a memberowned and -operated club to promote boating and provide a safe, well-protected area to store boats all season long. Great Cove Boat Club has about 100 slips, and a handful of moorings. The owners occupy some of the slips, and others are leased on a seasonal basis to associate members. Amenities include a boat ramp,

haul-out facility with a railway and an indoor heated workspace, and a clubhouse with ample parking. The clubhouse is heated and air-conditioned and contains reasonably priced laundry facilities, three showers, three heads (including one with handicap accessibility), and a lounge area with TV, cable and Wi-Fi. The space also includes commercial cooking equipment, and a bar and seating area for all members and guests. A tent is erected during the boating season to provide cover on those “less-than-wonderful” boating days. All members have access to several gas grills. Many evenings people gather around the fire pit with their favorite beverages, relax and watch the moon rise. The vast majority of the members own powerboats in varying sizes, from 18 to 45 feet. There’s a small contingent of sailors, 10 to 15 in an average year, and we have to endure the good-natured harassment from the powerboaters. People who have navigated the Piscataqua frequently know it can be challenging, with ferocious currents, tricky winds and three bridges to negotiate; tankers, freighters and even submarines to avoid.

make the journey to Great Cove Boat Club in an auxiliary sailboat requires timing the opening of two bridges, and avoiding the worst of the current flow, which can max out at six to seven knots in places. Standing waves can appear when the current and wind are opposing each other. Tricky stuff, but exciting and challenging, too. Belonging to this club feels more like being part of a boating family. The operation manager, Butch, and his friendly staff, Ray and Ian, are always there to help boaters with docking and fueling, they even help members with their dock carts. Butch has a lifetime of experience building boats, transporting boats, and servicing them. There isn’t much he can’t help you with; if he can’t, he’ll send you to a person who can. Need canvas work, fiberglass repairs, engine work or painting? Butch will suggest someone to help. He is like a mother hen for 100-plus chickens. In the 12 years I have been at Great Cove, the members have always been extremely friendly and very accepting of my handicapped son, Derek. After a month-long cruise, there’s always be a smiling face to greet you and grab a dock line, usually accompanied by lighthearted kidding. It’s true that we have all “aged a bit,” and the weekend parties aren’t quite as loud or as long as they used to be. Some captains have moved on to the “big-
ger ocean” somewhere on the other side. A lot of faces have changed, but the boating bonds remain. Like any group of people this large, there are always differences of opinion, and occasionally some dockside politics get involved. But, generally, people are there to relax and have fun, whether cruising extensively on their own boats or just enjoying the dockside experience. We have our contingent of snowbirds who migrate south every year as the days get shorter, the temperatures colder. They are always enthusiastically welcomed back in the spring, when we usually gather around and listen to their winter adventures. Some summer weekends Gosport Harbor in the Isles of Shoals looks more like a Great Cove Boat Club convention. There’s never a shortage of boats and people to visit. A lot of the members have become lifelong friends, and maintain those friendships through the off-season. Some pick up the bonds again in the spring, like there was never a winter at all, and a new boating season begins. Good friend Mike Pothier has been sailing off and on for close to 40 years on a wide variety of boats. He presently owns Dragonfly, a 1990 Hunter Legend 35.5, which is berthed in Eliot, Maine. He sails with his son Derek (known up and down the coast as “Big D”) and sometimes with Elphis, “The Hiking Goddess.”

I have done a lot of short-handed sailing, but only limited singlehanded. PE: How long had you been looking for a boat when you found Sedona? McGlashan: I had been looking for a yacht like Sedona for years. Every time I had money there were no yachts, every time there were yachts, I had no money. This one came up at a time when I had money, it appealed to me, and so I purchased it. PE: What was it about her that made you consider the trip from Newport all the way to Australia? McGlashan: The lines appealed to me – it looked like a quick yacht, and durable. It had the room I needed on board and the speed, and it also had a pretty heavy keel helping with the ballast. PE: How long did it take to get her in shape, and what sacrifices did you have to make in order to fulfill this dream? McGlashan: It took a bit over six weeks to get her into shape. We had planned on doing some sightseeing while in the States, but, unfortunately, we didn’t have time for this. I had stopped running my own business of sailmaking, selling boat accessories and working on boats, to start working for other people to try and speed up the process of getting ahead in life to be able to afford something like this. The last three years, I have spent working in the mines trying to get enough money to pay my bills, save up and purchase a nice boat.
PE: Did you have any second thoughts once you actually saw Sedona? McGlashan: I had purchased the boat around three months before I actually saw it. The photos I had on it were good – they showed me a lot of detail – so once I turned up at the yard, I found it pretty easy. It was what I thought it was. All I wanted to do then was to get it together and get it wet. PE: The brutal winter we’ve been experiencing here in New England: How closely were you following the weather, and did the overall pattern make you reconsider? McGlashan: We had been checking the weather every day. We had made the decision that, if the guys hadn’t finished the install on the new autopilot by mid-Friday, we wouldn’t leave until after the storm. We had been told via email we had to leave the jetty by Saturday as the storm coming Sunday could cause damage to the jetty and our boat if we stayed on it. Everything was finished on time. PE: Why Bermuda and the Cape of Good Hope, instead of a western route, on which you could make multiple stops (to fix stuff) and enjoy some warm weather? Maybe you could explain the game plan for trying to beat the weather system that eventually caught you. McGlashan: The reason we chose that route was, that the trades were in our favor, making the trip much quicker. The route had deeper water making it much

a week, finishing off the repairs and installs of new gear. We didn’t go sparingly with safety gear, with most of it being brand new, including an EPIRB for the boat and a personal EPIRB each, flares, safety harnesses, wetweather gear, raft, VHF radio for the boat and a hand-held, latest GPS and AIS – the list could keep continuing. PE: What happened to the sails and engine? McGlashan: What happened was, the charging unit for the Yanmar started to fail, so we connected the wind generator, only to find this didn’t last long and was most likely faulty – we had just purchased this from a local shop. Once both charging units failed, I pulled the sails down to do some repairs, as part of the main had come out from under its lashing and caught on one of the winches, I suspect, and both sheets had come off the headsail – I still don’t know how this happened, as the clips were a double safety clip. I’m not sure how this sail tore. Once the sails were torn we tried to motor, as sunrise was a couple of hours away, and it would be best to fix the sails then. We motored for around 1.5 hours, doing around six knots so as not to push the motor, at which
time it shut itself down. This is when we tried to call for assistance. Initially there were light winds and warm temperatures. We had tried on the radio, but unfortunately there were no other boats nearby. We then tried the sat phone, but were having trouble connecting with the U.S., so we called numbers we had for home to relay the message. When this was taking a long time we thought we would set off the EPIRB. The storm only came up about an hour before we were rescued. Unfortunately I had to leave my boat behind. PE: What’s the status of the boat right now? McGlashan: The boat is currently drifting in the ocean. I would do almost anything to get it back. PE: What did you learn from all this? Given what happened, would you do it all again? McGlashan: You can never have enough spares. Given what happened I would do it again. My only regrets are getting the Coast Guard to come and get us, and leaving my yacht. Bob Muggleston is the associate editor for Points East magazine.

Paris aborts second record attempt Stanley Paris had several goals in mind when he began his solo nonstop around-the-world attempt on Dec. 2, 2013 from St. Augustine, Fla. – Set a reference for time from St Augustine, Fla. – Set a reference for time from Bermuda. – Set a reference for age (was then 76 years old). – Set a reference for energy (green-mode, using no hydrocarbons). However, on Jan. 11, approximately 1,700 miles west of Cape Town, he reported that his boat had failed, and his attempt had ended. Paris was sailing his custom-built 63-foot Kiwi Spirit, designed by Farr Yacht Design and constructed by Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding. Embarking on a second attempt at age 77 years, Paris departed Nov. 9, 2014 from St. Augustine, believing that Kiwi Spirit was ready.
But apparently it wasn’t. Here’s what Paris wrote following his decision to stop: “Once again my attempt to complete a solo circumnavigation has come to an end. On Christmas Eve, the top quarter of the mainsail separated along a seam from the rest of the sail. This is not repairable by me at sea and given the gales I can expect before I round the tip of South Africa, it is once again not advisable to continue. “This is, of course, a big disappointment to me and to many who have wished me well. But that is life. I have never let difficulties get in my way of trying something worthwhile. “I am always aware that failure can occur but I have never let the fear of failure deter or prevent me from trying. To do so would be to accept mediocrity and that I will never do.”

Our Atkin cutter Ariel already could fly a main, jib, staysail, square, and two raffees, a pretty good downwind or reaching rig. Then a Montague Dawson print revealed the clever “ringtail.” By David Milne For Points East riel is a double-ended cutter, 35 feet on deck, displacing 26,000 pounds, crossing a square yard on a varnished spruce mast with two headsails. This is the story of how we added a new sail to the inventory. Ariel is a Vixen design, the culmination of John and Bill Atkin’s double-enders, designed and built in the
A
early 1950s for a round-the-world trip. That vessel, Vixen, is still sailing, and visited Maine in 2011 after a second world circle. The design was featured in “Rudder,” and, in a book of designs and commentary, by L. Francis Herreshoff and Boris Lauer-Leonardi. For Ariel – first touching water in 2004 and built by Ferdinand “Red” Nimphius in the 1980s – a square yard was added with the permission of John Atkin. A square-rigged vessel was born. At the end of the first
decade of the 21st century, Ariel could fly a main, jib, staysail, square, and two raffees, small sails set above the yard. All in all, it’s a pretty good rig for downwind sailing or on a reach, and a great looking image bearing down on a headland or entering harbor. In 2011, on the Internet, we saw an oil painting by Montague Dawson, possibly the finest marine artist of the 20th century. Backwards in time, the painting features a British revenue brigantine under sail with all her regular sails, stuns’ls (studding-sails), topsails, and a strange looking addition outboard of the main. That sail was called a “ringtail.” It was a stuns’l for the main, sometimes used in the late 18th century and into the 1800s, but developed earlier in a variety of forms. Originally, the fore-and-aft sail on the aftermost mast was much smaller. Primarily a light-wind sail (although probably used in higher winds, if required, by a smuggler or revenue cutter), it added significant square-footage to the main, and was flown from the head of the gaff and secured with a boom as an extension to the main. The main problem with adding the sail to Ariel was that we could find no one who actually had flown a ringtail. I had never seen it on a yacht or square-rigged vessel in real life. I now know that the replica Pride of Baltimore has flown one. The solutions were both modern and historical. First
All in all, says the skipper, it’s a pretty good rig downwind or on a reach.

and most important, it was necessary to find the right boatyard that could look at the concept and translate the idea into wood and canvas (Dacron). That yard was Traditional Boat (www.mainetraditionalboat.com) in Unity, Maine. In the past, owner John Flanzer, has demonstrated uncommon intelligence and flexibility in working with our boat. This was a no-brainer. The historical part of the issue was to find as much information about the sail and the rigging of it on ships long gone in memory. In this we were fortunate, as artists of the period were remarkably accurate in their depictions of vessels and rigging. As well, seamanship and rigging were incremental developments, so it was possible to watch the historical evolution of the sail. The earliest marine dictionary in the English language is William Falconer’s “Dictionary of the Marine” (1769). In part, it was based on the earlier French dictionary of “Mess. Du Hamel, Aubin, Saverien, &c.” Included in Falconer are drawings of sails, rigging, anchoring, and ship handling. The ringtail is defined in this way: “A ringtail is a name given to a sort of studding-sail, hoisted beyond the after edge, or skirt of those main sails which are extended by a boom and gaff, as in all sloops, brigs, and schooners. This ringtail is accordingly of the same depth with that part of the main sail upon which it borders.” After that, for more information we looked to David Steel’s “The Elements and Practice of Rigging and Sea-

manship,” the first attempt in English to publish a compendium of all the knowledge required of a seaman. It included sections on mast making, anchor making, sail making, block making, rigging, seamanship, naval tactics, and tables of the quantities and dimensions of standing and running rigging, as well as the vocabularies for each section. Also, Darcy Lever’s “Young Sea Officer’s Sheet Anchor” (1808 and later, both British and American editions). A maritime classic, Lever’s book became the standard guide to rigging and seamanship in 19th-century England and America, and went through numerous editions up to the time of the Civil War. The handsome engraved plates – one for every page of text – show all aspects of rigging and handling sails in all kinds of weather. I have found no reference to this sail after Lever. The best modern book we have located on historical seamanship is “Seamanship in the Age of Sail” by Harland and Myers. This scholarly and brilliant work, with many drawings and photos, is really the best source for an intelligent discussion of the development of any sail or seamanship maneuver from the great Age of Sail. To read it is to appreciate scholarly obsessiveness. The next step was to try to figure out how to rig the ringtail. For that we have only general information and John had to figure out how long to make the boom, how to secure it to the mainsail boom and the head of the

An anchor to windward For 127 years, J.O. Brown & Son has been an ever-present community catalyst on Penobscot Bay’s North Haven Island, and current owners don’t want that role to change. Story and photos by Steve Cartwright For Points East You can’t visit North Haven Island, in Maine’s Penobscot Bay, without taking note of Brown’s boatyard. Situated next to the state ferry dock, the yard is as vital to the community as the daily ferry service itself.

A summer resident commissioned J.O. Brown to build a fleet of North Haven dinghies, and Brown built 70 of them in this shop.
Brown’s bills itself as “a full-service boatyard,” offering moorings, hauling and trailering, boat storage, shower, a small chandlery, and a fuel dock. But, to the North Haven community, it is so much more. Islanders generally agree that Brown’s is a lifeline, whether you need fuel, your boat’s run aground, or your truck’s stuck in the ditch. There’s nothing glitzy about the yard, with its hand-
painted signs, tin roof, board-and-batten siding, and wood-planked dock on wooden pilings. The great posts and beams of the main shed were erected in 1855. Today, eight employees tackle a variety of shore and maritime challenges using both traditional hand tools along with modern machinery. The Brown’s crew includes three marine technicians, three certified captains, and a certified diver.

For 127 years, the Brown family – now the fifth generation – has been building and maintaining boats, setting moorings, selling hardware, and occasionally rescuing a recreational mariner or fisherman at sea. Today, Brown’s sells fuel; has a 15-ton Travelift; and does engine, prop and hull repairs. Brown’s also delivers heating oil to island homes, and sells gas for island cars. If you’ve got a problem, call Brown’s. Next door to the boatyard is the impressive $3 million Waterman’s Community Center – funded by summer folk and local fundraisers – tucked into the former Waterman Company Market buildings. But in many ways Brown’s itself is also a community center. It’s where you might hear the latest gossip and a weather report. It’s where, in warmer weather, you can buy lobsters from a dinghy converted into a holding tank. As fourth-generation family member Kim Alexander puts it, “We seem to feel the need to help the viability and sustainability of the island.” A theater-arts major, she likes Henrik Ibsen’s quote: “A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.” When the boatyard was founded in 1888, James O. Brown was just 23, working in a rented fish house. Summertime resident Charles Weld of Boston took an interest in Brown, and commissioned him to build a fleet of North Haven dinghies, small racing sloops. Over the years, Brown built 70 of them, and you can still see them today at the yacht club or the boatyard.
The dates of storms, and high levels of storm surges, are marked on one of the old shop's cast-iron saw supports.

The fish house burned, and Brown built a new shop. But Weld saw a chance for expansion when the nearby lobster and clam cannery closed in 1897. Weld bought the property and installed machinery for Brown, with a lease-to-own contract. J.O. Brown’s gray-shingled boatbuilding shed still stands, half over the water, now used for storage. In those early years, Brown’s built dozens of dinghies, catboats, dories, peapods and sail-powered fishing boats. And the island’s first motorboat in 1902. Brown asked son Foy to join the business in 1926, hence the name “& Son.” The elder Brown died a year later at 61. In 1939, Foy built a 42-foot vessel named the J.O., and used for years to ferry goods and people across the bay. It was Foy’s last job. He died in 1940, age 51, and his son James took over at 23 – the same age at which his grandfather started the business. He left the island for wartime military service, and swore he’d never leave again. The hub of yard activity is the large ex-cannery. A post-and-beam structure with sagging eaves, it has been expanded with a new dock financed by a $240,000 state grant to preserve working waterfront. Brown’s invested half again that amount in a dock that has long been used by local fishermen. “Not only has the business done a lot of things for the community,” said Alexander, “but the first J.O. and [son] Foy were town clerks, as was Aunt Ivaloo. Dad was a selectman, brother Foy was on the planning board; I’ve been on the school board, Waterman’s board, planning board, and board of appeals. Foy the younger was a selectman, Adam (Kim’s son and fifth-generation Brown) is on sustainable housing, and his wife Kat just replaced someone as selectman.” Past meets the present at Brown’s, where old tools and oldtimers mingle with modern eleceditor@pointseast.com

tronics and young people. Grandchildren – kids who may someday take over the family business – play at boatbuilding. “We plan on handing it down,” said Kim, who runs Brown’s office in a former Knights of Pythias hall overlooking the yard. Kim shares responsibility for the yard with her older brothers, Jimmy and Foy, Foy being a name, along with Jim, that is passed down from generation to generation. Kim’s father – also a James Brown, but known as Jim – died www.pointseast.com
four years ago after a lifetime at the boatyard. Her Aunt Ivaloo also devoted her life to the business as bookkeeper. In Jim’s last years around the yard, he could no longer do the day-to-day work, and claimed he did the “heavy looking on.” Before he died at 91, in 2008, he said, “It’s all I ever really wanted to do. All I really knew how to do, actually.” The yard passed to the next generation, Kim and her brothers Jimmy and Foy – those names just keep going – and Kim’s cousin Linda.

eration, and Kim’s son Adam, 31, is part of it. A recent magazine article called him “operator” at the yard, and he’s taken some ribbing for that. He said he actually has no title. The Brown family doesn’t need a designated boss. Each person knows what to do, and when and where to do it, family members say. “We were all ‘sail’ to start with,” Kim said. “We haven’t built a sailboat in a long time.” In fact, the last boat built from scratch was the Agnes, a traditional wooden motor launch modeled on the Brown’s Boat Yard workboat. A couple had seen the workboat and commissioned a more elegant version of it in 2007.
Brown’s boatyard keeps busy maintaining 14-foot, five-inch North Haven Dinghies, known as the oldest actively raced one-design class in North America. The 1919 John Alden design is raced at the nearby North Haven Casino, the yacht club that was organized in 1912. No one seems to know why it’s called The Casino: Maybe some gambling occurred there at one time or another. The late John Leather, in his 1982 book “Sail and Oar,” wrote: “In the early years, J.O. Brown built the North Haven Dinghy for $425, but in 1949 . . . . his grandson was building them for $750 each.” Repair

and maintenance work on a variety of craft never ceases, and Brown’s reputation recently attracted a Massachusetts lobsterman, who wants some work done on his boat. College students from the island can find summer work at Brown’s, and Adam himself did just that while studying at Concordia University in Montreal, where he majored in literature. He just bought his grandfather’s house in the village, where he and wife Kat are raising two kids. They’re part of a baby boom on North Haven. This is encouraging since the island has the smallest accredited K-12 school in Maine: 66 students, 21 of them in the high school.

The Brown family is committed to keeping the business going, and Kim said she would like to hire more workers if she can find them. Housing is in short supply on North Haven. Then there’s the challenge of island life: You’re in a small place with the same people, for a long period of time. Twelve miles from the mainland city of Rockland, North Haven is a Penobscot Bay cruiser’s paradise.

In 1981, she started a cottage industry for island knitters, marketing knitting kits nationwide. Her daughters have stayed on the island, with forays to the mainland.

and Hannah’s sister, Cecily, is reviving Calderwood Hall, an island gathering place, with plans for a brew pub. To say that North Haven is unspoiled almost seems an understatement. From one shore to another, there are winding narrow roads on which everyone waves to one another; there are sweet anchorages such as protected Pulpit Harbor, a favorite for cruising boats. The tree-lined village is a cluster of older houses, a true close-knit neighborhood. “Some of us like to call it North Heaven,” one resident said. And Brown’s Boatyard can take a bow for the role it has played in sustaining that feeling for well over a century. Steve Cartwright lives and writes in Midcoast Maine.

It’s all about what you are going to do with the boat, where you are going to go with it, and the oft-dreamtof launch day when it finally arrives. Story and photos by Capt. Michael L. Martel For Points East fter working on the interior of the cabin for a couple of hours the other night – painting, repairing, and re-installing hardware – I took a break and sat down at the chart desk and happily sur-

come meaningless. There’s no rush; do it right, take your time, and savor each little bit of progress. Until you arrive at this place, it’s all painful, uncomfortable work, fraught with worries about weather, timing, schedules, what the neighbors are thinking, the immensity of the project – and you begin to doubt whether you will ever finish it. But once you’re in the groove, life attains a certain balance, and it becomes a pleasure to watch the slow transformation of the vessel beneath your hands. You are no longer trudging along, strapped into the traces; you are now riding the dream. I have been to this place before, every time I got into building or rebuilding a boat. You don’t know when you’re going to get here, but when you finally do, well, you’re here. The mind, as Milton once observed, is its own place. The cold, blustery November wind was whistling through the bare tree branches outside, a front coming through, a gift from Canada. It blew in from the northwest, under a star-lit evening sky. It rattled and shook the heavy tarpaulins covering my woodframed boat enclosure, cold drafts blowing up and around the motionless hull. But within that cocoon stood my boat, on its jack-stands, surrounded by the scaffolding I had built, ladders, and hanging beat-up shop-lights shining an eerie fluorescent glow on the upper works, while the hull below the waterlinelevel scaffolding was enfolded in darkness and shadow. Throughout the summer season, I had finished restoring the decks, and now the hatches were all in place, and the boat could be closed up to contain the feeble output from the little space heater. It actually made a difference because, when it’s very cold, water hoses become rock-like; the solid block of an engine numbs any fingers that touch it; paint won’t flow, and epoxies become heavy syrup and hard to

mix and apply. Varnish goes on like painting molasses. But with the boat closed up, I can work inside, continuing into the winter, at least through the milder earlier parts of it. January may be another matter. But even now, later on a dark weeknight evening, the dream keeps me going. While I work, I think of sailing the broad ocean. When I install a new timber or deck beam, I think of a ton of green water coming down on it from a rogue wave, and I make sure to set it in right, and strong. The dream is what sustains you through the long process of refit. It’s a daydream, and like a warm fire on a winter evening, imagination is the kindling. Once you get it going, the intimidating, huge project becomes simply work, and who is afraid of work?

Once you get it going, the intimidating, huge project becomes simply work, and who is afraid of work? When people tell me that I’m crazy, or that the task is too big or impossible, I simply respond that it’s only work, and you just keep plodding away. That’s all it is. it’s only work, and you just keep plodding away. That’s all it is. You buy the materials and tools that you need along the route. You make time to do the work, and the key to success is to stay in it; do something every day that you can, even if it is a small thing, for all accomplishment is cumulative. If you start making excuses to do something else when it is cold outside, or too hot, or find yourself avoiding it, or going too many days without doing anything on it, the flame will begin to fade, like a candle flame sinking to a tiny blue dot. But it is, once again, just a boat made of wood, and anything made of wood, as my friend Karl the violinmaker tells me, can be repaired. I agree. “But when will it be finished?” The question is asked in an almost desperate manner. “When it’s done,” I reply, “whenever that will be.” You cannot set a schedule for a project like this any www.pointseast.com

That’s ironic, because I found out at the beginning that the stem timber needed to be replaced. I was getting no breaks from this boat. Then I discovered that the transom had to be replaced, plus a whole lot that was in-between. I shook my head, and set to work.
But the dream is not about what you are doing now, or any part of the rebuilding schedule. It is simply all about what you are going to do with the boat, and where you are going to go with it, once the work is done and the oft-dreamt-of launch day has finally arrived.

This is the second time that I have restored this boat. I restored her years ago, sailed her for some years, sold her, and then got her back quite a few years later when she needed me. Of course, it seemed just a coincidence that the Maryland boatyard owner where she had been abandoned called me one day out of the blue, and I began the whole re-acquisition process from there, but I wonder sometimes if there are truly any real coincidences in a universe where the longer we live, the more we learn that nothing is truly random. He had finally cut the lock and gone into the boat and found my contact information in papers in the chart desk. But long before that, I had bought the boat and decided to fix her up and get sticks in her and take her sailing. That first time around, life was different. I was younger, there had not yet been a Y2K or even a 9/11. Business was good, and I had lots of free time and still made money working out of a home office. So on afternoons in the summer, I’d be up on a ladder under the shade of a big oak tree out back, hammering away at the hull and sweating, cooled by occasional gusts of the prevailing southwest breeze that came up from Narragansett Bay and blew across the Bristol peninsula and onto my boat and me, rustling the oak leaves far above my head. I could smell the sea in the onshore breeze, and it kept me focused on where I wanted to go. I often wondered if, in some way, the boat could smell the salt breeze, too. I will spread my sails to that breeze sometime soon, I used to tell myself, and, eventually, I did. But even so, as I ground, chipped, and hammered away 10 feet above the ground, my mind was hundreds of miles away, crossing the Gulf Stream, my boat plunging headlong into the great troughs between the sapphire-blue warm swells of the Stream, happily surging toward the empty horizon and islands of spices, palm trees, coconuts, rum and white beaches that lay at the far edge of my imagination and well over the dis-

tant horizon. But I was riding that dream, and it sustained me and kept my bow pointed ahead and water moving beneath the keel of my mind and energy. I would think about my boat all the time, much the same way a young man thinks about sex every 30 minutes or so, not because he wants to (or perhaps he does), but because his chemistry drives him to. I would plan ahead, like a master chess player plans his moves to checkmate his opponent 20 moves ahead or more, including planning for contingencies. I planned each stage and step of what had to be done next, seeing the finished product in my mind’s eye. I found my old leather-bound “nothing” book that I had started many years ago, filled with notations and crude drawings and scribblings and measurements, and lists of “needs” for each boat that I have worked on. I stopped at consignment shops, big box DIY home stores, yard sales, any place that I felt I could find the tools and materials I knew I would need. I became the “dented-can guy” at the boatbuilding supply shop, buying heavily discounted paint and epoxy in dinged and rusted cans so that I could put that saved discount money toward a tool that I needed, or another can of paint. What did I care about what the can looked like, as long as the contents were intact? Let the can look ugly, and the boat look pretty. These planning and calculating exercises helped my memory and sharpened my mind, keeping it busy before I went to bed, so I could sleep on these plans and process them in my subconscious. Nowadays, in this boat-restoration redux, the work keeps my body moving, especially now that I am older, stiffer, and have less energy and motivation. But the dream is back; it lives again. But this is the end of the affair. I will not need to do a refit like this to this boat again in my lifetime. She is more than 80 years old now, and my www.pointseast.com
work should carry her for another 20 or more with proper care afterwards. Rebuilding and restoring big, old wood boats is a hard-work affair – dirty, difficult and time-consuming. I will never take on a project of this magnitude again, alone. But I will happily make a winter project of building the occasional small wooden dinghy in my basement workshop; all bright, clean, new wood, shiny copper rivets and fastenings, aromatic linseed and

varnish. That will be fine. The dream comes back to you then, too. Capt.

Sir Philip Craven, IPC President, said, “The Board’s final decision was not an easy one and, after much debate, we decided not to include two sports – football 7-a-side, and sailing – from the Tokyo 2020 program for the same reason: Both did not fulfill the IPC Handbook’s minimum criteria for worldwide reach.” The IPC Handbook states only team sports widely and regularly practiced in a minimum of 24 countries and three IPC regions will be considered for inclusion in the Paralympic Games and, for individual sports, a minimum of 32 countries in three IPC regions.

The Volvo Ocean Race started in October and continues on a global route with a stopover in North America May 5-17 in Newport, R.I. The program will link students with the race by offering lesson plans at no cost to participating schools on such topics as geography and culture, marine science, math, sustainability, navigation, sailing, art, ocean conservation, currents and weather. In addition, schools will have the opportunity for a destination field trip to the Newport Stopover. Brad Read, executive director of Sail Newport and director of the Stopover announced that Newport school
teacher Donna Kelly, and Sailors for the Sea President R. Mark Davis, will co-chair the educational program. Read also announced that Sail Newport will collaborate with other non-profits to create the “Blue Zone” – interactive displays and exhibits showcasing marine-based programming and modules related to ocean conservation, sailing, weather and sustainability – for visiting students. Joining Sail Newport for the educational program content will be “National Geographic,” 11th Hour Racing, Sailors for the Sea, US Sailing’s REACH Program, New England Science and Sailing, Tall Ship Oliver Hazard Perry and the University of Rhode Island.

“Sailing World” announces its Boat of the Year winners In December, “Sailing World” magazine revealed the winners of its Boat of the Year Awards program, naming the Farr 280 as its 2015 Boat of the Year. The high-tech, 28-foot raceboat was designed by Farr Yacht Design, of Annapolis, Md., and built by Premiere Composite Technologies (Dubai, UAE). The magazine’s independent judges tested 15 performance sailboats, and afterwards said the Farr 280 stood out for its construction, forwardthinking features, and performance under sail.Other
award-winning entries include the Gunboat 55, Topper Topaz Argo, RS Aero, and Seascape 27. The Topaz Argo, from Topper Sailboats, in England, was deemed an ideal design for sailing clubs, and the Seascape 27, imported from Slovenia, a boat best suited for short-distance coastal racing. The RS Aero, a 13-foot dinghy from RS Sailboats, United Kingdom, was praised for its potential to become sailing’s next great singlehanded dinghy. FMI: www.sailingworld.com.

Fathoming Halifax Island ome things are so obvious we hardly see them. For years, Halifax Island, on the seaward reaches of Maine’s Englishman Bay, was often the last sight of U.S. shore as we headed the Leight for various Canadian ports in fog, thick and thin. With time taking full measure of every mile and minute, as it does in the mists, we admired the spectacle of it, and vowed to land there one day – but we didn’t. Five years passed, then 10 and 20. The wind was wrong, time was tight and other plans prevailed, but still we’d look at the island wistfully as it faded away. Bold, beckoning, and showing no signs of man’s ambitions, the half-mile-long swell of grass, granite and greenery presents stirring prospects. Punctuated with tufts of meadow and scattered knots of trees, a sinewy billow of ledge rising high above the water on its westernmost point promised to repay the modest effort of climbing it with breathtaking seascapes. Possessed of a certain primitiveness, it seemed a long way from home.

There was a pregnant sense of discovery in the air when Leigh and I finally sniffed our way into westernmost bight under the north shore of the island. Creeping in close, we circled in single-digit soundings. Casting a lead line occasionally to get a feel for the bottom, I guessed it was mud, from the soft grounding and momentary stickiness when pulled free. The CQR took up immediately, and we were soon carrying the dinghy above rock and wrack. Landing on a wild island, particularly a first visit, is possessed of a certain epic quality, it being a landscape of raw experience, indifference, and things felt more than thought. We’d only taken a few steps when we were drawn to the sound of breaking waves. A dozen yards away, a tiny eel rut on the seaward shore nearly cut the island in half. At the head of it were mounds of beach stones, polished by eons of crashing seas. It’s not easy to explain the compulsion to skip rocks across the water, or search for a perfect speckled agate to take home, but we did both, which editor@pointseast.com
was invested of a certain innocence. Climbing through a knee-high corruption of grass and coarse scrub on the west point, Leigh gained the rocky crest first, and I heard her exclaim, “Oh, David, look at that.” Gaining her side, a scattering of islands – ebony green close in, and pale gray a dozen miles off – gave shape to stirring prospects that had a visceral, minimalist dimension to them. To the north, a crescent of sandy beach at Roque Island stood proud, and turning east, we could just make out the loom of Grand Manan Island, 25 miles away. Gulls squalled, a flight of swallows arced low, and the Libby Island foghorn sounded its dirge – take care, take care. Skirting shore, daisies faded as asters bloomed. Rocks shifted under our feet. Sidewalks of ledges were a treat. Coming upon a tangle of boards, speculation arose as to what sort of a shelter a marooned sailor might fashion from them. I thought it must have a board floor. We stumbled upon another potential landing spot at a shingle beach near the northeast point, and, in a grassy hollow, came across a campsite and fire pit. Stopping to listen to the islands murmur, bees buzzed, seas washed and every step had something to tell us. The inspiration and energy of discovery are compelling. While barely scratching the surface of it, we need the tonic of wild places, which after all these years, there are still many to be fathomed. As Thoreau wrote, “An absolutely new prospect is a great happiness.” Halifax Island is wildlife refuge, administered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. David Buckman sails out of Round Pond, Maine.

Reviewed by Sandy Marsters For Points East It was fun in this winter’s reading to several times find myself reading about my own backyard. In Colin Woodard’s “The Republic of Pirates,” looking for a break from the pressure Britain was putting on the pirates in the Caribbean, a couple of ships head for Maine and a rendezvous at remote Damariscove Island. Trouble is, they don’t know how to get there. So the pirate captain of one of the vessels, Paulsgrave Williams, an associate of the notorious Sam Bellamy, puts ashore in my hometown of Cape Elizabeth aboard the Marianne. This was mid-May of 1871. It must have been lovely as a captured pilot guided the ship
into Richmond Harbor, where they anchored. Ashore they found little home belonging to a farmer, Dominicus Jordan, who had smelled trouble and skedaddled. I believe that is the same Jordan clan that still farms in Cape Elizabeth. Williams and his men enjoyed a sleepover and the next day kidnapped a fisherman who wandered into the harbor and said he knew the way to Damariscove. In “Snow Squall,” Nicholas Dean and David C. Switzer strike even closer to home with an account of the salvage of the bones of the last American clipper ship, which had been abandoned in the Falkland Islands. Snow Squall was built in 1851 in South Portland, just a mile or so from my current home. After a daring recovery in 1987 in the aftermath of the Falklands War, her bones were returned to South Portland before finally resting at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. And many Points East readers and boaters will find very familiar the descriptions of Narragansett Bay in Christopher L. Pastore’s very studious “Between Land and Sea,” which explores the impact of development during the settlement of the New England coast in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Even here, I found close connection during Pastore’s discussion of the impact of the Blackstone Canal on a long stretch of New England terrain. The Blackstone River –

the old canal – ran thick and weedy at the bottom of the hill where I grew up in North Grafton, Mass. Perhaps it seems odd – narcissistic, parochial – to approach a book review by cataloguing its personal connections to me, but that was certainly part of the joy of reading these very different books about maritime history. A close physical connection is part of the wonder that will bring history to life for a New England reader of these books. Colin Woodard is a prolific Maine author and journalist. His work isn’t always as fun as “Republic of Pirates.” On a recent cruise, we had to quit reading aloud his decade-old “Ocean’s End: Travels Through Endangered Seas” because it was just too depressing while sitting on a boat. But “Pirates” is great fun. Imagine coming aboard one of these pirate ships to see these grizzled tough guys walking around in women’s dresses and silk finery. They loved dressing up – even wearing make-up – and they had lots of opportunity to do so as they overtook ship after ship and helped themselves to the passengers’ trunks as well as to any treasure on the ship. They were indeed a colorful bunch. And crafty. They were talented seamen and fierce fighters when they needed to be. But the romantic vision of the murderous pirate is overstated, Woodard asserts. Rather, they were a product of their times, offering an attractive and often profitable alternative to scratching out an existence farming parched Bahamian soil or, worse, being kidnapped to serve on a British Navy frigate in worse-than-miserable conditions. At one point it even looked like they would have their own republic in the Bahamas, until infighting
and a full-court press by the British brought them to a stop. “They were the die-hard outlaws,” Woodard writes, “angry men who saw themselves not as businessmen or thieves, but as rebels or guerrilla insurgents in a war against ship owners, merchants, and, in many cases, King George himself.” Bellamy, an associate of the famous Blackbeard, who really did put firecrackers in his beard to frighten his victims, had no tolerance for authority. “They vilify us, the scoundrels do, when there is only this difference: They rob the poor under the cover of law…and we plunder the rich under the cover of our own courage.” The heroes of “Snow Squall” are a small group of historians and archaeologists obsessed with the idea of preserving the history of the great clipper and returning her to her roots. They are all volunteers who use cunning and improvisation and imagination to overcome the engineering challenges of pulling the bow timbers of the ship from oily muck under a dock in Port Stanley and getting it home. But while the archeological challenges are interesting, it is the story of this great ship before the accident that ended her life – and the clipper era – that enthralls. Here again are pirates who would drop “nauseating stink bombs” on the ships they were taking; there was greed; there was superb and sometimes incompetent seamanship; there was political intrigue. In “Snow Squall,” it all winds out as a fascinating and captivating narrative. Finally, the point of view of “Between Land and Sea” reminds me of some advice Dodge Morgan gave us long ago when he was advising us on the mission of

Points East. He thought it should be a serious journalistic endeavor that viewed natural and human life of the coast from a point about five miles at sea and then 10 miles inland. I never really understood what he meant, but I this book makes his advice a little clearer. Once there was the New England coast in a condition largely untouched by man on any grand scale. In 1636, settlers come, altering the boundaries of man and nature to suit their needs – draining swamps, damming the big rivers, and building canals for short-term benefits that often had drastic consequences. The Blackstone Canal seemed like a good idea for moving goods from the coast into the growing inland cities. But its backers were blind to the complexity of the project. “Canal managers
had failed to account for environmental variability, including extended periods of rain, snow and drought that either damaged the canal or made it impassable.” It was a disaster and was abandoned almost as soon as it had opened. Trains proved to be a much better idea. As boaters, we think of New England from a perspective of a few miles off the coast or anchored in a quiet harbor as a pastoral and unchanging landscape. We forget that man and nature are constantly changing it, and that nature is not as resilient as we imagine it – and that what we see is not what was always there.

Robert Lane
90, Friendship, Maine
By Chris Finn For Points East This winter, the sailing community said good-bye to Robert “Bob” Lane. Born to the sea, Bob was best known for starting the Penobscot Boat Works, “Penbo,” in Rockport in 1951, with his father Carl D. Lane. The boat shop turned out a diverse stable of high-quality wooden vessels ranging from runabouts to trawlerhulled, oceangoing cruisers. Bob and his dad rediscovered the derelict and rotting whaling vessel Charles W. Morgan in the 1940s.
will be missed
Carl and his Sea Scout troop, Bob included, were enlisted to provide additional manpower as the Morgan was moved to her permanent berth at the Mystic Maritime Museum. The Sea Scouts were signed on as official crew for insurance purposes, and, as a result, Bob Lane was the last surviving crew member of an American sailing whaler. After retirement, Bob and his wife Esther made 10 voyages to the Bahamas on the Penbo-built Star of Maine. Summers since 1966 were spent on Cranberry Island in Muscongus Bay. In later years, Bob was a highly skilled ship-model builder. Some of his works are on display in the Bath Maritime Museum. During WWII, when 19 years old, Bob captained a seagoing tug, which helped to build the artificial harbors that allowed tanks and heavy equipment to get ashore during the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

She was a lifetime member of The Penobscot Marine Museum and the Searsport Historical Society. From Susan Swanton, executive director of the Maine Marine Trades Association: “Loraine was a wonderful woman. Although she kept a fairly low profile, she was certainly an integral part of Hamilton Marine. But I will remember her best for her warmth and kindness, her laugh, and her generosity. We would meet often, and in the summers, Loraine was always quick to welcome us to her and Wayne’s summer cottage on the bay. She always made sure that we were comfortable (and well-fed) no matter what time we were meeting or how busy she was at the store. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.”

Capt. Virginia A. Wagner
Martin A. (Skip) Purcell
Virginia passed away on Jan. 30 in Newport. Holding both a 3,000-ton USCG and an MCA Ocean Master, she devoted most of her 28-year career to the command of traditional sailing vessels. Virginia sailed more than 400,000 sea miles, most of them navigated with the traditional navigation tool, the sextant. She served as mate on the 135-foot Corwith Cramer and the 125-foot Westward, then was captain of the 125-foot Ocean Star, the 125-foot schooner Galaxy, the 158-foot Clipper City, and the 140-foot replica schooner America. Virginia also skippered private and charter yachts, including Matau, True North, Aria, Moonlight II, Shiwara and Coro Coro. In 2012, Virginia joined Nicholson Yachts Charter Management in Newport.
Skip died Feb. 12. Sailing was his life’s passion, and his talents and accomplishments in that arena were formidable. He first earned the nickname “Skipper” on Long Island Sound, where won the National Junior Sailing Championship (Sears Cup), a memorable honor, given that his future wife was on his crew. He also won the National Interscholastic Championship (Mallory Trophy) while skippering for Phillips Academy Andover. Later, as owner, part-owner, or principal helmsman and tactician, he won the North American One Ton Championship, the J/44 North American Championship, and the New York 40 Class Championship. He was also overall winner of the 1966 Newport to Bermuda Race, the Northern Ocean Racing Championship, and a member of the United States Admiral’s Cup and Onion Patch Trophy Teams. He was a member of the Bath and Tennis Club in Palm Beach, New York Yacht Club, Cruising Club of America, and the Storm Trysail Club. He was formerly a member of Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, Conn., and American Yacht Club in Rye, N.Y. His force of spirit, sense of humor, and deep affection for good times, close friends, and family will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.

1966-2014: Persistence finally kisses the salt By Nina M. Scott For Points East Capt. Jim Sharp’s Sail, Power & Steam Museum, in Rockland, Maine, was a lively place on the morning of Aug. 14, 2014. The day was sunny and beautiful after a major storm two nights before – and an iffy prognosis by the meteorologists – but Capt. Jim had ordered up a fine day, and, as usual, he got his wish. www.pointseast.com
The 27-foot Friendship sloop Persistence sat on her jack stands while volunteers swarmed around to trim her with bunting. Three and a half years of effort had transformed a partially built hull, begun by Friendship boatbuilder Carlton Simmons in 1966. Her restoration was effected with salvaged parts from a derelict sloop, the Eagle, built in 1915 and rotting away in a Spruce Head boatyard. Jim Sharp acquired Points East March/April 2015

parts of both sloops by donation, and then he and the volunteers began to build the rest of her. She is, in effect, a nautical collage. The volunteers are a dedicated and skilled group of people, both male and female. I made a preliminary visit to Persistence before the launching, to get an idea of who the volunteers were and how they worked together (alas, I cannot mention everyone). Locals Tom Hammermeister and Charlie Witherell were among the most loyal workers (it was Tom who found the partial hull of the sloop and alerted Capt. Jim to its existence), while others were from “way away,” like Texas and Montana. Texan Photo by Nina M. Scott Robert Guenther, who now lives in Camden, said, “I had Volunteers like Rachel Davis, from Billings, Montana, and Tom Hammermeister, a local, always wanted to build a boat, worked together as a team to get Persistence into the water. but had neither the money that initial visit, turned out to be a former neighbor nor the space to do so, so this is the next best thing.” Rachel Davis, from Billings, Mont., had worked for from Amherst, Mass. Volunteer John Holliday told me that the man who a year at the Apprenticeshop and wanted to keep on boatbuilding. While walking her dog one day, she found had really held them all together was Dennis Gallant, the museum and the group of volunteers, who were former owner/captain of the schooner Angelique and very welcoming, and she joined in. Rachel had earlier an accomplished boatbuilder. “We have a whole list of participated in the group delivery of a reconstructed ‘Dennisisms,’” he said, of which the most used was, whaleboat from the Apprenticeshop to Mystic Seaport, “Not like that, you guys!” Rolly James showed up for sailing and rowing their craft from one destination to the launching with his photographing drone and his another.

Jim Sharp and his wife Meg had organized a lobster bake for all volunteers and their spouses to celebrate the day; the group Rusty Hinges sang classic sea chanteys like “Going down to Old Maui” to keep the diners happy. Capt. Jim got up to emphatically say, “This is the most accomplished group of volunteers ever, and if anyone does not agree with me they get my cane!” At the appointed hour, boat-hauler Ed Herlbit arrived with his hydraulic rig to bring Persistence to the sea. Bagpiper and fellow captain Ken Barnes accompanied the sloop to the town landing, followed by Capt. Jim and wife Meg, who bore the bottle of champagne for christening the sloop. Before she expertly smashed the bottle over her bow, Meg said, “During all this time, sometimes we called her Persistence, and other times Patience, and we called her other things as well, but today I christen her Persistence!” Herlbit slid his rig into the water, and released the boat into the sea. Huge applause erupted when she floated free, and as Ed drove back up the ramp, he grinned and said, “This is pass/fail! There is no such thing as a B+ in boat

Sabre begins building largest ‘motor yacht’ Up until now, Sabre’s largest “motor yacht” offering has been the Sabre 54 Salon Express and Fly Bridge, the first of which was unveiled at the 2014 Miami Yacht and Brokerage show. But owners of these models requested a larger design, Sabre says, and the company’s response is the Sabre 66, scheduled to debut in mid-2015. Construction of the 66, begun in Sabre’s Rockland, Maine, facilities, was designed by the in-house team led by Kevin Burns. Kevin has been busy with this project for some time, developing hull shapes, deck styling, and mechanical and interior layouts. The 66 will be equipped with Volvo Penta IPS1200 pod drives, and will cruise in the mid 20-knot range. Her displacement will be 80,000 pounds, and her interior will feature a full-beam master stateroom below her helm deck. Social connectivity of the cockpit and interior spaces is the key to this open and airy layout,

Sabre says. When Sabre first began building 28-foot sailboats in 1970, there were very few large, owner-operated motor yachts in use. Over the past 40-plus years, the fleet of large, private vessels has grown dramatically, with new operating systems allowing owner operators to be the masters of their own yachts.

The Mayflower gets a major makeover at Mystic Seaport Mayflower II arrived at Mystic Seaport, Mystic, Conn., late in 2014 after being towed from Plymouth, Mass., for a restoration in the museum’s Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard. Restoration work will honor Mayflower II’s original construction and traditional building methods, with the goal of restoring the ship to her original state when she first arrived to Plymouth in 1957. Inspections in 2013 revealed that Mayflower II was in need of a major refit, which is normal for a 57-yearold wooden ship. Plimoth Plantation recently completed some major repairs so the ship could safely continue operations on the Plymouth waterfront. These efforts were the initial steps toward addressing the long-term restoration plan, which will follow three phases: survey, document and restore. A comprehensive marine survey will be completed by Paul Haley of Capt. G.W. Full & Associates, in Orleans, Mass. This is the same firm that surveyed the whaler Charles W. Morgan, the USS Constitution and the USS Constellation. Stone

Throughout the restoration, the public will be able to view the historic replica during the Seaport Museum’s operating hours.
and iron ballast will be completely removed for the first time since the ship’s construction to allow proper inspection of the bilge area. The scope and plan for this winter’s restoration work will largely be determined by the needs identified once the ship is out of the water and the ballast is removed. Throughout the restoration, the public will have the opportunity to view the ship during the Museum’s operating hours, and the plan was to permit people to board the ship on land beginning in mid-February.
If repairs go as planned, Mayflower II is expected to return to Plymouth in May 2015. The restoration of the 57-year-old wooden ship will be carried out over several years, with the ship spending winter and spring at Mystic Seaport and returning to Plymouth each summer and fall. The project is scheduled for completion before 2020 – the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival in North America. FMI: www.mysticseaport.org.

Herreshoff Museum’s building one-sixth-scale Reliance model A team of 15 volunteers at the Herreshoff Marine Museum, in Bristol, R.I., is finishing, from a bare fiberglass hull, a onesixth scale, museum-quality model of Reliance, the Herreshoff-designed and -built 1903 America’s Cup winner. Project Manager is Arthur (Sandy) Lee. Owned by Cornelius Vanderbuilt III, and skippered by Capt. Charlie Barr, the 144foot Nat Herreshoff-designed Reliance was victorious over Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock III in a three-race competition. The 33-foot model will educate visitors on the beauty of these large, extreme boats – and to illustrate Capt. Nat’s engineering, design and manufacturing genius. Its mast will be more than 37 feet high compared with Reliance’s 220-foot spar. As of mid-February, a fiberglass hull, wood rudder, aluminum-tube mast, and solid-wood topmast had been procured. The hull was built to scale by Marine Concepts in Florida. The original Reliance was built of bronze plating on an “eggshell-steel frame.” By mid-February, North Carolina twine and cordage maker Martin Combs had delivered the full allotment of scale 7/32inch and 1 1/2-inch through four-inch manila. Reliance carried 3,000 feet of four-inch manila for her 16,200 square feet of sail. Museum personnel also have been busy worming, parceling and serving wire rope: FMI: www.therelianceproject.com.

Dream dory built by Compass Project for Maine Lakes, bays Several years ago Barry Worthing, of Portland, Maine, started dreaming about a sailing/rowing dory he could use on Maine’s lakes and bays. He wanted a boat that could be handled solo, but could accommodate friends and family. His search led him to Compass Project. Barry commissioned the Deblois St. Dory, under construction by the Biddeford Middle and High School boatbuilding crews. With the help of instructors Shane Hall and Margaret Mountcastle, volunteers Fred Fowler, David Fernald and Charlie Higgins, as well as input from designer Clint Chase, the crew will launch the dory next spring in the Saco River.

GMT Composites, in Bristol, R.I., has supplied a U.S. Government contractor with a series of ballistic housings. These housings cover sensitive antennas and protect them from damage from enemy fire. Manufacturing consisted of 50 layers of compacted Kevlar 29 and epoxy. The housings have a half-inch-thick solid Kevlar wall, a machined outer surface, and specific hole patterns with threaded inserts. They were finished with a paint resistant to chemical and biological agents. The contractor was having problems sourcing this very specific housing. Previous suppliers had not delivered the product as required, and they were faced with not making a delivery deadline until they contacted GMT. GMT delivered all parts on time and to specification. www.gmtcomposites.com.

SW Boat is building a Beal 44 for ‘Wicked Tuna’ cable show A Calvin Beal-designed 44-foot Downeast-style commercial fishing boat is being built by SW Boatworks, in Lamoine, Maine for a tunaboat skipper participating in National Geographic Channel’s “Wicked Tuna” cable show. The new boat will be christened Tuna.com. Capt. Dave Carraro met with SWB owner Stewart Workman to discuss a new vessel, and he came away with a bug in his ear about the Calvin Beal 44. The 44, with great stability, versatility, and a spacious working area, was designed for offshore commercial fishing. Her maximum beam is a whopping 17 feet, six inches. Stewart showed Capt. Dave a recently finished 44, and Capt Dave knew immediately that this was what he wanted. Stewart and Capt. Dave designed the layout for the new vessel, and settled on a larger wheelhouse and deck to fill the needs of the “Wicked Tuna” show as well his main business, charter fishing. Tuna.com’s hull and deck were completed in the lay up shop in July and moved to the finish shops directly afterwards. Throughout the process, Capt Dave has been available, not only by phone but also as part of the crew. He and his first mate, Sandro, have been helping by sanding, grinding, and building deck space. Capt. Dave said he had never seen a complete build, and was excited with the new experience.

Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island Fundraiser After six years of planning and construction, Rhode Island’s Official Sailing Education Vessel, the 200foot SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, will sail this summer. This year’s fundraiser, at Newport Shipyard, in Newport, R.I., will honor the impact that this $16 million economic development project has had on hundreds of jobs in the Rhode Island marine industry as well as the efforts of Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island Board Chairman Bart Dunbar for his unfailing devotion to the non-profit organization behind the building of the ship. The evening, which begins with cocktails and tours of the ship, includes a catered sit-down dinner with dessert, followed by music, dancing and a live auction to raise funds for the ship’s educational programming. Tickets, starting at $200, must be purchased in advance and are not available at the door. Sponsorship opportunities available.

The Bohndell family started out in Thomaston, in the mid 1860's as riggers. Schooner ANNIE 1901 built in Rockport, rigged by Bohndell They moved north to Rockport - across the street from our present location - just a few years later. At that time, they expanded into the sailmaking business. The business was passed from father to son for three generations. Bob started as an apprentice in the spring of 1973. We purchased the business in 1980 with two partners, Del Babb and Mac McMullen, and bought Mac's share out within a couple of years. Del remains our partner to this day. In the spring of 1994 we moved to our current building. When Bob started in the business, they were still doing a lot of hand sewing, and cotton canvas was still popular with the schooners. Roller furlers for genoas were primitive and unreliable, so most people still hanked on their sails. Computers, much less CAD equipment were unimagined! What an amazing ride it has been - and there are so many more boats in every harbor on the coast. Who would have thought? Bob and Sue Chace with Will ShawChapman, Kara Ray and Vince Bemis behind.

IBH's Rick likes being a happy man.
Photo by Russ Roth
How to keep your boat-mover happy e very rarely if ever, see Independent Boat Haulers’ Rick upset. This particular spring launch day, when climbing out of his truck, it was obvious that he was not happy. “Russ would you please teach a course on how to get your boat ready to launch?” said Rick. For the second time that week he had a boat on the launch ramp, trailer in the water and no engine. In both cases, the owners had neglected to test their engines before launch. The boat this particular day still had hoses disconnected from an engine repair as yet unfinished. Not completely sure if he was serious, my response was, “No, but I will write an article for Points East on the subject.” Rick thought that was great. We laughed and went on with our days. So now it’s Jan. 1, and I’m sitting at my desk with my boat “to do” list. I’m not an engine mechanic, and have never professed to be an expert on any boat re-

One of the more important things that Marty and I do for Skiya is put her away clean and dry. It’s amazing all of the time and maintenance this save us in the spring. The salt and dirt from the sailing season only gets harder to remove as the months pass. Not to mention the mold and mildew from putting a cover over a wet boat. We also leave our hatches ajar so we get air circulating through the boat all winter. The other thing that we have done is build a frame for our cover that is tall enough to work under in the spring. On Skiya that means doing routine engine maintenance in a warm, dry environment. So here is what I feel comfortable doing on my engine.
