Randy Randall Marston’s Marina Saco, Maine

Race encounter was ‘unsettling’

Mike’s report from the clamflats Went clamming with oldest son Kevin recently at Hog Island. He was up here in Rhode Island for a visit.

Kevin had been looking forward to going clamming for some time, and especially now that he has been living in the Philly area, where there is no clamming. It was “like digging doubloons,” as my friend Jon always says.

Fresh littlenecks soon become the Captain’s special Clams Casino recipe — under the broiler until the bacon on top gets crisp.

Now we catch up on some summer dream reading and voyage planning with a plate of spicy casinos; chilled, crisp Chardonnay; and a little lemon, and don’t worry, Denise had her own setup just the same one chair over. Go to a restaurant and get six skanky clams for $12 and more. Here we had the freshest, sweetest clams, and my own recipe with fresh minced onion, garlic buttered cracker crumbs, pepper sauce, lemon juice, bacon, and a few other herbs and spices, and we pigged out on them — at least 25 per person, maybe more, lost track after the fifth plate full and third goblet of wine.

Capt. Mike Martel Bristol. R.I.

Good teeth will open tuna pack We enjoyed very much Gay De Hart’s story in the July issue (“Capt. Mom and the Revelation,” July), about sailing with her family on their Ensign. Everyone was safe, and apparently they all had a good trip. I also appreciate her honesty in admitting they could not open a can of tuna for lack of a can-opener.

However, this also tells me that there were five people on her boat and not one of them had a knife. Not a Swiss Army knife, not a Leatherman, or a rigging knife or even a good old Boy Scout knife. Nor, I guess, were there any tools: no screwdriver, no pliers, no hacksaw, and no Vice Grips, any one of which could have been used to www.pointseast.com

I recently found myself sailing into the middle of a schooner race out of Camden. The experience was unsettling and frightening. I am writing this in the hope of eliciting some feedback from some experienced skippers in regard to the situation and what I might have done. To wit: The schooner fleet was racing from Camden eastward toward Islesboro. The wind was brisk and a bit gusty from the southwest, so they were all on a beam or broad starboard reach and making good speed. I was sailing my 27-foot sportboat, heading south, beating to windward on starboard tack, also making good speed (eight to nine knots). I was north (to leeward) of all of them.

My inclination was to try to duck behind them and avoid their race. However, I realized that ducking one would put me right in front of others, but then I would be on port tack and have no speed. I didn’t have just one or two to avoid — there were a lot of boats coming and not a lot of space between them.

So I decided to pick a gap as best I could and continue on south (still on starboard). I passed in front of one vessel with no problem — he simply turned a few degrees farther off the wind and sailed behind me. However, the next vessel gave no indication he was going to give way to me, and we were very close to a collision. So I began to luff and slow. Just as I did that, he started to turn downwind, now directly toward me. Fortunately, I didn’t slow too much and was able to return to my course and pass a few feet in front of him, but the crew of the boat was yelling and gesturing some very unpleasant things in my direction.

My understanding of the rules is that I was clearly the stand-on vessel. The fact that they were racing gave them no rights, and they were certainly not constrained in any manner regarding ability to maneuver. That being said, I’m generally not suicidal and don’t challenge larger, heavy vessels if I can avoid it. In this case, though, I didn’t have the option of turning around or waiting for them to run their race. What should I have done? Readers’ thoughtful replies would be appreciated.

MYSTERY HARBOR/And th e win ner is...

Mystery Harbor is best for shoal-draft boats This is Wellfleet Harbor on Cape Cod. It looks like high tide in winter since there is no action on the water.

The view is of the L pier where the commercial fishermen, large and small draggers, dock. The photo shows the breakwater and, in the distance, Great Island, which is part of the barrier structure that creates Wellfleet Harbor.

My wife, Terry, and I have lived and sailed in Wellfleet for 15 years, and for the last five have moored our 19-foot wooden catboat, Cleopatra, in the mooring field to the left of the image in the Mystery Harbor photo. The experience has substantially shaped our development as sailors since we’ve come to all this rather late in life. I should add that part of my enthusiasm for Wellfleet and the marina is that I’m a member of the Marina Advisory Committee and, consequently, am much involved with marina activities year round.

Wellfleet Harbor is shaped rather like an upside down letter U. The westerly side is comprised of barrier islands and reefs and a substantial shoal that can be problematic for keeled vessels. The village of Wellfleet is at the northeast corner, and the eastern shoreline to the south includes homes, etc., as well as the marina.

The harbor as a whole is about 6,000 acres overall and relatively shallow. The tides range from eight to 12 feet on average, with occasional extremes. In the outer harbor, which includes a well-marked channel to the inner harbor, there are deepwater anchorage sites available just outside the breakwater (for vessels over 55 feet). The inner harbor, which includes the municipally owned marina, has transient moorings (15) and slips (12) for vessels ranging up to 55 feet. The channel into the inner harbor is easily navigated by deep-draft vessels.

Shoal-draft vessels can go nearly everywhere providing they use an up-to-date chart. There are a few substantial rocks (glacial erratics) well marked on charts but not always visible. Around the north and east sides of the harbor, there are many near-shore shellfish grants, which are off limits. The inner harbor is sheltered from most directions since fetches are short. The outer harbor is vulnerable to southwest and southerly winds. The bottom is sand and mud and holding appears to be good for properly equipped vessels.

Points East August 2012

Like many harbors on Cape Cod, Wellfleet was in its early years engaged in fishing and whaling, and sent many vessels as far as Georges Bank and elsewhere.

Fishing faded in the mid-to late-19th century for many reasons including the silting in of the harbors. This brings us to our current big issue: The Wellfleet marina needs to be dredged, and planning is under way. However, the lack of funding slows the process. Our transient moorings stay wet, as does the channel to the fuel dock and the L pier (commercial tie-up), but much of the marina bottom is above water at low tide.

The marina sells ice and fuel and provides restrooms for the public and showers for slip and mooring holders and transients. There are four restaurants within a short walk of the marina. There are more restaurants in the village proper, which is approximately a half-mile from the pier. There are B&Bs in and near the village and motels just outside.

There is a grocery in the village and a large number of galleries and retail stores. Weekends in season are very busy.

In terms of advice for mariners, Wellfleet is great for shoal-draft vessels. Deep-draft vessels should stay in the channel until they become familiar with the area.

Every mariner should use an up-to-date chart or chart plotter since the channel and its markings occasionally shift.

Pay attention to the shellfish areas marked by yellow buoys. And check in with the harbormaster on Channels 9 and 16 for current situations. Weekend boating activity can be a bit frenetic, especially on holiday weekends. Most important, the marina staff is extremely willing to be helpful and they go out of their way to assist visitors.

I do love the place while I recognize the warts as well. New England, especially this end — the wet one — is special. We’ve been reading the magazine for a good while and always seem to exhaust its contents well before the next edition is ready. Many thanks for the good work.

Curly the Dog loves Wellfleet

Shot from Cape’s largest pier

The Mystery Harbor in the July issue is Wellfleet Harbor on the Outer Cape. We live year-round in Wellfleet and own a catamaran (moored to the left of your photo) and enjoy sailing to Great Island, pictured in the background of your photo. Even our dog, Curly. loves sailing in Wellfleet! We love your magazine.

Barbara Prazak & Richard Goldberg Wellfleet Mass.

This picture is taken from the largest man-made pier on Cape Cod, with approximately 50 pleasureboat slips on the inside, and the view you’re looking at is on the outside of it. Chequesset Neck is the land in the background, and the entrance from Cape Cod Bay goes around the jetty you see and, finally, to the town dock, where the draggers dock. Food and beverages are in close proximity, as is a nice boat ramp.

Capt. Charlie Richmond Sandwich, Mass.

I recognize the boat on the end I’m betting there are lots of correct guesses on this one. It is obviously Wellfleet Harbor taken from the vicinity of the boat ramp or harbormaster’s office. I recognized the boat on the end, the breakwater and the bluffs in the background. We live in Guilford, Conn., but get to the Cape three or four times a year for a weekend to two weeks at a time.

Marsha Griffin Guilford, Conn.

He bet lunch money on Wellfleet I happened to pick up your magazine after a wonderful dinner at Captain & Patty’s in Kittery, Maine, after the air show. With a continuously unfulfilled appetite for perusing boat literature, I stumbled on your Mystery Harbor in the July issue. After spending 35 seasons in Wellfleet. Mass, I thought your photo looked familiar. So I will put my Monday’s lunch money on identifying it as Wellfleet Harbor, looking from the harbormaster’s shack out toward Great Island. This is one of the finest harbors and boat-mooring basins on the Cape.

Perspectives Elsa’s dance card nstead of sailing, this morning I was transported to Fargo, N.D., in the Roaring 20s; well, sort of. On the porch today, my wife and I uncovered a real treasure: a box of her mother’s dance cards from Fargo High School in the 1920s. Elsa was a lovely lady, so much so that I named my boat after her.

Perhaps some of you are old enough to remember dance cards, those cards the young ladies tied to their wrists at dances. They were numbered inside, and a small looped string with a pencil attached went from the card to the hopeful young lady’s wrist. If a young man wanted a dance, he gently lifted the lady’s scented hand, took the pencil, and put his name on the next open number on her dance card. Elsa must have been quite popular; we found an entire photo album filled with dance cards. And every dance card was full.

Which brings me to the other Elsa. She was invited

I

to a rafting party at a yacht club float last week. Well, that’s not exactly accurate. Actually, I initially asked if she could come. You see, I’m proud of my old sloop. I wanted her to be the belle of the ball, despite always knowing she would never be the shiniest, and certainly never the skinniest, girl at the float. But she got invited. We’ll make space for her, they said.

At 30 feet, compared to so many others, Elsa is not a tall girl. Around her middle, at 10 ½ feet, she may be a tad thick, I’ll admit.

And certainly, at 12,000 pounds, she’s off the chart for height/weight ratio. Finally, at 33 years of age, her clock is indeed ticking.

“We’re going to a party, Elsa,” I said to her as I climbed aboard from her little sister, a nutshell pram I’d built years ago. She seemed to perk up a bit at that, bouncing on the wake of a passing powerboat. (Well, maybe that’s too perky a word; “slowly lumbering up-

ing attention as they entered the ball. The biggest, shiniest boat put out two signs boldly declaring: NO SHOES. “Well, we don’t mind shoes,” I said aloud. “Maybe you’ll meet some people who don’t want to take off their shoes, Elsa.”

Two docks away I could just make out a man in a white shirt and black bowtie setting up a bar on the float, complete with hors d’oeuvres. The bar was next to the biggest, shiniest boat. Crowded around the bar and piling onto the shiniest boat (sans shoes) were most of the people at the party. “Well, how about a cocktail?” I said to no one in particular (since there was no one in particular), “but we better stay here and drink our own booze in case someone comes down this way and wants to see you.”

No one came. I began thinking about that lonesome Maine cove. I sensed Elsa did, too, and wanted to leave the party before anyone noticed she’d come.

Then something happened. Someone from up by the shiny boats got bored (or just decided to go for a walk) and headed our way. I thought of that green waterline slime I hadn’t removed before the party and figured we’d be passed over. We smiled demurely. “Welcome aboard…ah, if you’d like,” I said timidly. He looked Elsa over. “Quite a beam on her,” he said. Then he looked at her wonderful, commodious cockpit, with the wraparound stern seat, wooden wheel, and old bronze

190 Outrage

fittings. “Nice,” he said. And by God he came aboard.

It was Elsa’s first dance.

When he went below, we knew we had him. He looked at the five distinctive gimbaled kerosene lamps.

He looked at the heavy, bronze opening ports and the solid, varnished wood everywhere. He looked at the watercolors and pictures on her cabin bulkheads, including the portrait of her namesake. Then he sat down on the canvas-covered bunk, looked around some more, nodded and said, “Now this is a boat.” Eventually, he left and went back to the other end of the party.

“There,” I said to Elsa. “You have appeal, even in this crowd. See?” There was a knock on the hull. It was the same man, and he’d brought back his wife and two friends. “You have to see it inside,” I heard him say.

“Welcome aboard…if you like,” I said again.

And so they came. And after they left, others came, saying they had to see her inside. Soon we had eight people in the cabin and others waiting in the cockpit.

In hindsight, I’m sure the other boats were even more popular, but at that moment, as the smallest, fattest and oldest boat at the end of the line of floats at the party, we were somebody.

Our dance card was full.

Cavitation s Kate slapped up and down on the short chop, headed into a gusty 15- to 25-mph wind, the engine drummed tediously along. It had been an uncomfortable and occasionally frightening cruise — not the one we had envisioned. The sandy, sunny, post-Labor Day beaches of Cape Cod weren’t sunny. The wind was blowing hard in the wrong direction, too close to sail, and then switching around to another unhelpful direction the next day. The water, building and stacking made for salty, splashy riding. Far out in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Katya supplied the wind, and Tropical Storm Lee, to the west, brought the rain. The motor droned constantly in our ears. We had yet to laze out in the cockpit with a beer.

Kate had never been out of Maine before. Owners Jim and Nan McNally had reminded us before we left, and from their tone I could tell they weren’t sure she would like it. They were once again lending us the 31-foot Pacific Seacraft for a week of cruising, and we thought we would venture south – to Cape Cod and Buzzards Bay — for a change.

The long-range forecast wasn’t all that promising, but even our worst weeks on past cruises always had enough

A

decent weather to make a good vacation.

This trip put us in more trying situations and rough conditions than all our other 17 years of cruising put together.

The trip started in the Back Channel, in Kittery, Maine, and the crew vetoed the skipper’s Plan A: a long passage to Provincetown in the dark across the shipping lanes of Boston. For a couple of people who regularly fall asleep before 9 p.m., this seemed foolish, so we motored on to Gloucester instead.

Log entry, Sept. 3, 2011 Wind, wind, wind. Headed for Provincetown with southwest winds 15-30 mph. Lots of ocean, lots of wind, lots of waves. Bouncy day with not much to look at, 360degree views of salt water and not much else.

The following day we had a good sail to Wellfleet, Mass., which turned out to be the last decent sailing day until we turned around and headed home.

Slipped into Onset to avoid the swell building in Buzzard’s Bay. Once in Onset, I surveyed my vacation: rain, waves, spray, foul-weather gear and rough riding. I said to my husband, “Well, I’d rather be here than on a Princess Cruise.” (Our shared nightmare is being trapped in a place where shuffleboard and dressing for dinner combine with extended conversations with strangers.) Being outdoors and facing small challenges has always seemed preferable to the extreme awkwardness we would feel on a commercial cruise.

Heading up the coast to Scituate, we were caught in a thunderstorm. Put me on a vast plane of water, sitting at the base of a long metal stick pointing up to the clouds, and I start thinking in headlines: “Lost at Sea”, “Orphaned Daughter,” and “Abandon Ship.” Lightning was flashing all around, and I turned to my husband and said, “Rethinking the Princess Cruise.” We were not enjoying or relaxing.

As we pounded along into the wind, I heard the engine sound change, and concerned, I questioned the skipper.

“Cavitation,” he says. “The propeller is sucking air as it’s lifted up and down out of its element.”

This trip lapped the fall of our previous year. In October, we started a watch with my mother-in-law as her kidneys failed at the end of a long and lucky life. The extended family took turns helping her ease out of life. The cell phone became our family’s main means of contact as we passed on the interstate or left notes on the kitchen counter on our way to and from Massachusetts for our shifts.

As we settled into our vigil with her, in Pennsylvania, my father broke his hip and began to fail. His dementia did not allow him to work toward recovery and took away his last joy, his love of movement. In the dark of November, he died in a nursing home the week we scattered Marjorie’s ashes.

We looked forward to gathering with family to celebrate my father’s life, but a Christmas blizzard blasted the Eastern Seaboard, preventing the Maine clan from attending my father’s memorial service. Holidays were muted. Work,

jury duty and the inertia that accompanies grief kept us close to home. Our only daughter moved to California.

Log entry, Sept. 9 Winds up to 25 mph in forecast northerly, and the whole of Massachusetts Bay to create a chop. Staying in Scituate today.

Log entry Sept. 10 Time to head back to Maine. A little gray bird perched on the dodger for some time today. Taking a rest before getting itself out of its predicament a mile out to sea in a stiff breeze.

We have had a year of chugging along, sucking air, in and out of our element. Losses accumulate, but so does grace if we look for it. Sometimes a place will serendipitously present itself for a rest. The weather always shifts, and we can raise the sails to a fairer wind.

A sailor’s test kitchen ’m not what you’d call a “foodie.” Most of my shoreside recipes begin with, “Remove meal from carton and place in microwave . . . .” And when it comes to menu planning for an ocean passage, I become more of a physiologist or, rather, “puke-npoop-ologist.”

This is because the first days at sea are often about managing conflicting imperatives: the need to eat, to hydrate, and to eliminate while simultaneously avoiding activities that provoke seasickness. So, the naval ethos of forehandedness calls for a test kitchen and scope of inquiry beyond how many minutes on “high” in the microwave.

I know that seasickness arises from a mismatch between the body’s motion-sensory inputs and its internal model of normal orientation to inertia and gravity. Most people’s internal model adjusts to the motion of the sea after a few days, and their susceptibility to seasickness goes away. Until that happens, however, reducing the conflict between visual and non-visual inputs, by remaining above deck with a view of the horizon, is a proven way to reduce mal de mer.

and hydrating, the soup is slurpable from a mug, leaving the sea-borne diner’s other hand available to maintain a steadying grip on some fixed part of the rolling, pitching boat. Lentil soup chosen, I’m off to the test kitchen.

I set up my single-burner propane stove and pressure cooker on the deck of my condo. I wonder if my neighbors might misapprehend the infernal machines and raise the alarm with Homeland Security, but I carry on anyway. I begin the prep work and immediately realize that chopping the onion, garlic, carrot and celery is an intense visual-tracking task, a sure nausea hazard at sea, delightfully accessorized with a pointy, sharp knife. Note to self: Chop, bag and ice the veggies before casting off to avoid cleaved appendages.

I sauté the aromatics, then add vegetable broth, spices and the lentils. I try to attach and seal the pressure lid, but jets of stream escape angrily, and I begin to hear the desperate brogue of Star Trek’s Scotty in

my head: “Engineering to bridge. Captain, she won’t hold!”

I removed the lid and try again. Seal formed, I watch the pressure come up and then adjust the heat to maintain eight pounds per square inch. At this point, the cook at sea could dash on deck for some air and a stomach-steadying 10-minute gaze at the horizon.

In my test kitchen, I turn off the heat and allow the pressure cooker to cool and depressurize. I sample the lentil soup with some fresh ground pepper and a dash of sea salt.

Mmmmm, this lentil soup is shipshape and definitely on the menu.

News Sailors’ arts taught at Picton Bosun School The barque Picton Castle, a flagship of the Ocean State Tall Ships Festival, opened its Bosun School for young adults (ages 16-30) in Bristol, R.I., June 24-July 3. The Tall Ships Festival came to Newport July 6-9.

Picton Castle’s Bosun School enables both experienced sailors and novices to live and work on board and learn time-honored seamanship skills.

Picton Castle operates yearround as a sail-training vessel, and it will make its sixth voyage to the South Pacific in the fall of 2012.

Some of its 26 crewmembers will be trainees, with no previous experience on Tall Ships, and according to Picton Castle’s Captain Daniel Moreland, of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, they will learn the same skill set being taught at the Bosun School this summer.

“Mariners need skills that make them one with their ship and resourceful in all areas,” said More-

Briefly Harpswell has new selfservice pump-out float The Holbrook Community Foundation (HCF) took the lead in getting a self-service pump-out float for Harpswell, Maine, to reduce overboard discharge from boats. There is no fixed charge to use the pump-out in Cundy’s Harbor.

The suggested donation, however, is $5.

The facility will contribute to cleaning up the New Meadows River, and will benefit both commercial and recreational fishing in Harpswell. HCF will monitor the float weekly and will haul and store it during the winter. According to the Maine Department of Environmental

Man, dog rescued 500 miles off Cape Cod Coast Guard search and rescue crews and the Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue Program partnered in the rescue of a Canadian man and his dog in distress approximately 500 nautical miles east of Cape Cod Tuesday. The 1st Coast Guard District received the initial distress call from the captain of the sailing vessel Atins, stating that the vessel had broken “lines” and was adrift but not in danger at around 4 p.m. June 18.

At approximately 8:43 a.m. June 19, Atins’s captain placed a second call stating that the weather was worse and he requested assistance

for himself and his dog. Searchand-rescue coordinators initiated the AMVER alert system. The motor tanker Arctic Bay was diverted, and it recovered the captain and his dog, who were transported to France.

“The AMVER system has been in place since the Titanic tragedy 100 years ago,” said Petty Officer First Class Joaquin Alayola, a searchand-rescue controller at the 1st Coast Guard District. “This system, and the mariners who subscribe to it, contributed to the safe rescue of the captain and his dog.”

With more than 100 watercraft and 10,000 square feet of classroom space, NESS provides a broad range of experiential hands-on learning for children, teens, and adults year-round. “By the end of the year, we will expect to have more than 1,000 people experience the sea through NESS programs, especially in the spring and fall seasons,” said Spike Lobdell, president.

‘Sister Port’ agreement may mean regional jobs If, while plying the waters between Buzzards Bay and the Cape and Islands, you spot commercial vessels unfamiliar to you, they just might be here because of an International Sister Port Agreement the Port of New Bedford signed with the Port of Tuxpan, in Veracruz, Mexico, in July. This pact marks the beginning of a public/private partnership that will position the Port of New Bedford as a significant import/export hub.

As reported in the “Boston Globe”: “The end result of this agreement will definitely be jobs,” said New Bedford Mayor Jonathan F. Mitchell. The city already imports fresh clementines from Morocco for Canadian markets, with each vessel representing

$200,000 for the city in services and labor, he said.

Mexico could ship crops such as limes, watermelons, bell peppers, and tomatoes to New Bedford, helping to create hundreds of jobs, according to Ed Anthes-Washburn, Acting Port Director. Just one weekly cargo ship filled with vegetables takes 50 people three 24-hour days to unload and deliver to distributors because the produce is on pallets, not in containers, and has to be handled carefully, he said. Related employment in trucking and warehousing could swell the new jobs per ship to more than 100, he said. FMI: www.portofnewbedford.org.

On Aug. 6, after a hearty breakfast at the Driftwood, we were off at 0915 under high, thin clouds. Randy had the first watch. At Gloucester Harbor we decided to stay outside and go around Cape Ann, rather than slow down and go through the Annisquam Canal.

night and continued all night. We awoke to a dreary, gray Sunday. The rain had diminished, but it was dank and misting enough to make things uncomfortable.

It was quiet in the cove, but Casco Bay is often treacherous, so we buttoned down the windows, prepared the boat for some lumps, and set out at 0930. Turning south into the Hussey between Peaks and Long islands, conditions began to worsen rapidly. The wind and seas were right on our nose, and soon we were taking green water over the bow. The swells were deep and short, and the wind was furiously tearing off the crests of white foam.

A few lobstermen were out there hauling, which I found encouraging, so we plowed on. After crossing Green Island Passage, we turned eastward for Fuller Rock. This brought the seas at us from our starboard beam, which was much easier to take.

After an hour or so we went between Fuller Rock

and Cape Small, past Seguin, and finally turned north into the Kennebec at 1100. The tide and wind were against us, which caused a lot of turmoil until we got away from the influence of the open sea. But then we were running up against a four-knot current, and we could feel the river pushing us around.

At 1145 we reached the Bath Town Landing. We got her secured and walked up to Betty’s on Front Street for coffee and a hearty breakfast. After eating, we idled slowly back down past the Bath Ironworks and tied up at the Maine Maritime Museum, where my favorite display is the lobster museum, which illustrates how the lobster industry has evolved in Maine. Although lobsters have been plentiful since before the Europeans arrived, there was no industry for them early on because, before refrigeration, there was no way to ship them anywhere. In 1842 a process was developed for canning them – and the rest, as they say, is history.

By 1400 we were “museumed out” and returned to the boat, cast off, and crossed over to enter the Sasanoa with Randy at the helm.

The Sasanoa River branches off from the Kennebec opposite the Bath Ironworks, into what is sometimes called The Inside Passage. It is a beautiful waterway that meanders through marshlands and is well marked. But it is deceptive, too, with large areas of apparently open water that may be only a foot or so deep at mean low tide.

Unlike the mighty Kennebec, where the power of the river overrides everything, the incoming tide in the Sasanoa was actually pushing against us, reducing our speed by a knot or two. Almost immediately after entering the Sasanoa, you arch around a wide bend, which leads you into Upper Hell Gate. At this point, the river narrows and actually drops a couple of feet in a hundred yards or so. So when the tide is running out it’s a sleighride. I’ve run it both ways at all different tides, and with Muscobe’s big powerplant and oversized rudder, it’s cake.

At the lower end of the Gate, it’s best to make an immediate right turn to avoid a small island. You can go straight, inside the island; however there’s a rock in there that www.pointseast.com

Breakfast at Boothbay Harbor’s Ebb Tide is a great way to start the day when heading Downeast.

Photo by Randy Gleason

Fifteen minutes later, we were tying up at the Carousel Marina fuel dock. Because half the day had been spent motoring at reduced speed, our average burn was a stingy 4.6 gph. We went up to the office to say hello to the owner, Jack Cogswell, my old Marblehead High School chum. After that, we slipped across the harbor to the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, and soon we were relaxing in the cockpit.

I awoke Monday at 0545 and looked out at a foggy overcast. However, the sun had begun to peek through by the time I brought the boat into the dock for my shower and breakfast at the Ebb Tide. At 1045 we were off — a late start, but we were only bound for Camden, just three hours away. Before heading for Pemaquid Point, I turned north toward Christmas Cove so we could pass through The Thread of Life, which Randy had never seen. My sailor friends chide me for owning a powerboat. But when you have the advantage of cruising at 17 knots, a side jaunt like this takes only a few minutes Soon we were rounding Pemaquid Point, turning to our heading of 87 degrees for our next waypoint: Eastern Egg Rock, six miles away. Muscobe’s faithful Yanmar purred along. The seas were calm, the sun bright, and the wind was at our backs. It was comfortably warm. Life was good. Randy guided us past Egg Rock, then through the passage at Allen Island into the tricky approaches past Port Clyde, where several lob-

stermen were busy at their trade. The tide was fairly low, so many reefs and ledges were awash and visible.

Winding our way through the maze of lobster buoys, we passed Mosquito Island and turned north for Whitehead Island Light at the entrance to the Muscle Ridge Channel. Once through, we rounded Ash Island into Owl’s Head Bay, and shortly before 1330, we entered Camden’s outer harbor.

At the Wayfarer Marine gas dock, we took just under 25 gallons of fuel, which calculated out at 6.8 gph. That seemed unusually low, since we had been steaming at normal cruise (2500 rpm and 17 knots), but maybe there was some slow time in there.

Later in the afternoon, we walked around Bay View Street. We went to the Waterfront for an early dinner, and stopped at my favorite Camden store, the Ducktrap Bay Trading Company. Back at the boat, the harbor became quiet, and we turned in for a peaceful sleep.

Tuesday morning we awoke to a glorious day — warm with bright sun and light air. We cast off at 1005 with Randy at the helm, bound for the Fox Islands Thorofare, some six miles across Penobscot Bay. The entrance is riddled with ledges and other dangers, but they are well marked, so pay attention to the chart.

Once inside and past the Sugar Loaves, I slowed as we approached the anchorage at the town of North Haven, the site of J.O. Brown Boat Yard, which I

Once through, we crossed Blue Hill Bay to Bass Harbor bar, and around Long Ledge. By 1400 we were motoring into Western Way toward Southwest Harbor, motoring up Somes Sound to Valley Cove to take in the scenery.

High, thin clouds were moving in, so we headed for Northeast Harbor, where I’d reserved a slip. At 1500 we were at Clifton Dock to get fuel and ice. Idling down to the marina, I called the harbormaster, who put us temporarily on the commercial dock. No problem. We secured the boat and sat back to take in the sights and sounds.

rounded the bell at Mosquito Island and turned toward Port Clyde. The fishermen were out in numbers, though most had bigger boats than we did. Still, I wouldn’t have wanted to be handling that gear in this weather.

I took over at Eastern Egg Rock, and, as predicted, hell broke loose. Here, the seas were coming at us unbroken and from two directions. The worst were from the southeast, hitting our port quarter; and they were running eight to 10 feet and pushing us all over the place. We had no option but to press on, surfing madly down the backs of the seas.

Suddenly, one of them caught Muscobe perfectly, pushing her crazily down into the trough. I thought we were going to broach and roll over, but I yanked the throttle back, and the swell slid harmlessly underneath. The moment passed, but my hands were shaking. After we got home, I called Colby Young to ask him about this incident. “You cannot put the nose of that thutty-three under in a following sea, Joel,” he said.

“She might scare you. But she’ll nevah hurt you.”

By now we were about a mile from Pemaquid Point.

I changed course and headed farther out to sea. “What are you doing, Dad?” Randy asked.

“If we lose the engine, I want to be a good distance offshore until we get past Pemaquid and Thrumcap Island,” I told him. Once past there, I handed the boat off to Randy, who took us the rest of the way into

Boothbay Harbor, arriving at 1355. By 0845 the next day, we were off under a low overcast with light southwest winds and good visibility. At The Cuckolds, we turned toward Fuller Rock on the last long leg home.

By 1000 the overcast began to break up and patches of blue appeared overhead. “It will burn off by ten!” said Randy with a grin.

By the time we were off Cape Elizabeth, the wind had intensified, and at our cruising speed of 17 knots, we were taking a beating. So I eased the rpm back to 2350, which had us moving at 15 knots, but it was more tolerable. After passing through the Isles of Shoals, we began to come into the lee of Cape Ann. At 1400 Randy brought Muscobe into the Annisquam canal. As we passed the Cape Ann Marina, I called the Blynman Bridge and asked for an opening, telling him I needed just under 14 feet. His response: “If you stay right in the middle, you’ll have about fourteen feet.”

We squeaked under with inches to spare.

The wind was still strong from the southeast, but the visibility was spectacular as we cleared the breakwater at Eastern Point and turned west. At 1530 we slipped alongside the Corinthian floats six hours and 45 minutes after leaving Boothbay Harbor. Muscobe had brought us home safe and sound once again.

the steady and dependable ones; the hot-tempered ones; the old, ponderous ones; the stubborn ones; the prima donnas; and the misfits. The character traits of boats can inspire our love and devotion, or just drive us crazy. Unhealthy relationships can’t end soon enough, but we hope that good friendships go on forever. So it’s a shame when circumstances conspire to keep good friends apart.

Three years ago my wife, Janet, and I moved from Florida to Maine. The move was a great opportunity for us: good jobs, closer to our families, and the chance to move back to a beautiful part of the country. The only misgiving we had about the move regarded the fate of Ohana, our 1977 Pearson 28.

We grappled with what we should do with Ohana.

We mused about sailing her to New England; after

all, that was her birthplace. But we simply didn’t have enough time to make the trip before the start dates of our new jobs. We considered trucking Ohana to Maine, but realized we weren’t going to have time to sail or maintain her for the next several years.

I was about to become the director of a biological research station on an island in the Bay of Fundy.

Although we would be spending plenty of time on boats, my work schedule in summer would be intense, with little room for sailing.

Taking her with us would be a death sentence for Ohana. Rarely do sailboats suffer from over-use, but the opposite condition is fatal.

We knew we had to sell Ohana.

Our initial efforts to sell her were half-hearted. We couldn’t bring ourselves to deface her hull with a “For Sale” sign. But as our moving date approached, we realized we had to get serious. The weekend before our departure, Janet organized a boat show for everyone at our sailing club who was trying to sell a boat. On the first day of the show, we had several people come aboard, but none seemed serious about making an offer. Given Florida’s economy at that time, not many people were in a buying mood.

Over dinner that evening, we faced the reality that we might have to store Ohana in a boatyard and attempt to sell her from Maine. To temporarily put those unpleasant thoughts out of mind, we invited a group of friends for a moonlight sail on Sarasota Bay that night. It was a perfect evening: warm, steady breezes, a bright moon, and good company — just what we needed to get us out of our funk.

At the dock the next morning “boat-show” traffic had picked up.

A couple that came aboard seemed serious about buying a boat. Seeing their reaction brought back memories of the editor@pointseast.com

first time Janet and I had been aboard Ohana. When the wife went below to inspect the saloon, I could see her eyes grow wide, and she glanced at her husband.

I knew exactly what they were thinking because Janet and I had exchanged similar glances five years before when we realized we had found our next boat. On our first introduction to Ohana, we conducted our usual inspection of chainplates, keel bolts, bulkheads, sails, running and standing rigging, deck hardware, and engine — all while concealing our emotions. This boat was a gem, and we instantly knew we were going to make an offer on her, but we didn’t want the yacht broker to see how excited we were. As soon as the broker turned his back, Janet looked at me and quietly mouthed “I want this boat!” I quickly nodded in agreement.

Flash-forward a few years: The husband and wife who were now inspecting Ohana had the same wide eyes Janet and I had had years earlier. After exchanging good-byes, the couple walked up to their car in the parking lot. Fifteen minutes later, they were back for a second look at Ohana, and within an hour they had given us a deposit check. The deal was finalized by 9:15 on the following morning.

As we were gathering up the last of our personal belongings and were about to leave Ohana for the final time, Janet looked at me, again with wide eyes, but this time, tears were streaming down her face. We both dropped everything and had a good cry. We were saying good-bye forever to a dear friend. Ohana had taken us to some amazing places, shown us some of the happiest times of our lives, and always kept us safe. And she was no slouch around the racing buoys; she always made us look like better sailors than we really are.

heavy hearts. This definitely was not the happiest day of our lives.

But Janet and I were about to begin a new chapter and we promised each other that some day soon we would have another cruising boat and continue our sailing adventures.

A sailor without a boat is like a bird without wings…or an addict without drugs. After we sold Ohana, Janet and I soon suffered from boat withdrawal. The fact

that we were in Maine, with its endless supply of beautiful boats, was just cruel irony. Wherever we went, we’d visit boatyards, scrambling over snow and ice in winter just to look at the bottoms of boats that were packed together like sardines. But our situation was not conducive to owning a “proper” cruising boat.

Thus it was that we decided a trailer-sailer would allow us to maximize our sailing during the

“shoulder seasons.” Having our boat on a trailer meant that we could get out on the water as soon as the snow melted from the boat ramps and wouldn’t have to wait for a boatyard to launch us in the spring. Likewise, we could take advantage of good weather days in the fall, well after most marinas had closed for the season. But we definitely viewed this arrangement as the consolation prize of sailing: less room, fewer creature comforts, and an inability to take extended trips or to make offshore passages.

TRAILER, continued from Page 44 boat that our pickup truck could tow comfortably and that Janet and I could rig easily. The more difficult the transition from roadworthiness to seaworthiness, the less we would use the boat. As luck would have it, we found a Com-Pac that was in Bristol condition.

We dubbed our new Com-Pac 19 Meantime, signifying a transitional boat for us, one that will suit our needs until we are ready to buy our ultimate cruiser.

We delayed painting the new name on the hull and holding the traditional re-christening ceremony for fear she would not appreciate being regarded as a stepping-stone to something better.

On the first weekend in May, Janet and I took Meantime out for a shakedown sail. The water temperature was still in the low 40s, but it was a nice day. We put the boat through her paces, beating our way out of the long, narrow Mere Point Bay into 12 knots of breeze, close-reaching out into Casco Bay to Chebeague Island, broad-reaching to Harpswell Neck on the opposite tack, and then running wing-andwing back to the boat ramp at Mere Point. It was the perfect shakedown cruise, and Janet and I agreed that Meantime was more nimble than we had expected.

Once back at the boat ramp, Janet went to fetch the truck and trailer while I straightened things up on

the boat. As she started to back down the boat ramp, she stopped suddenly. “Did you hear that?” she asked.

“It was probably just the trailer creaking,” I said.

“No, it was coming from the front end of the truck, on the driver’s side.” “Well, I’m sure it’s OK,” I assured her. Janet continued backing down the ramp.

All of a sudden, there was a loud CRACK, and half a dozen ball bearings fell out from under the truck. The wheel bearing on the front left wheel had had a catastrophic failure. The bell-shaped housing that contains the wheel bearings had had a catastrophic failure, exploding into a hundred tiny pieces. Maybe this trailer-sailing wasn’t going to be as easy as we’d thought.

Janet was able to drive the truck and empty trailer back up to the parking lot. But now we needed a place to moor Meantime for the night, a ride back to town, and a tow truck to transport our pickup truck. And, of course, it was after 5 p.m., and we hadn’t seen another soul on the water during that entire chilly spring day.

We quickly motored the boat to Paul’s Marina. They immediately set us up with a temporary mooring (for which they were reluctant to take any payment, but eventually we settled on $9.50 for the night). John, the marina’s salty operations manager, even arranged for someone to give us a ride home. We called a tow truck, which we expected to cost an arm and a

All of a sudden, there was a loud CRACK, and half a dozen ball bearings fell out from under the truck. The wheel bearing on the front left wheel had had a catastrophic failure. leg. To our surprise, the tow truck only cost $40. We then visited the police station in town, to explain why the trailer would be left overnight at the boat ramp, asking forgiveness for breaking the “No Overnight Parking” rule.

Now, we just needed to get the boat and trailer home. The next morning we rented a truck to tow our trailer. I probably shouldn’t divulge the name of the truck-rental company for legal reasons, so let’s just call it “You-Stall.” Unfortunately, the local You-Stall branch didn’t have any pickup trucks available so we had to rent a 15-foot moving truck — you know, the kind with the big cargo box that makes it impossible to see anything behind you, such as the trailer that you are trying to back down the boat ramp. It wasn’t perfect but it would suffice for one short trip. At least all four of its wheels appeared to be firmly attached to the rest of the vehicle, which was more than we could say for our truck.

We arrived back at the boat ramp, and, after considerable effort, we backed the trailer down the long

ramp and pulled the boat out of the water without incident. We unstepped the mast, prepared the boat for the road, and drove back to our house. Once the trailer advanced a few feet down the driveway, the truck started to struggle. Figuring that I had backed the trailer into some obstacle, I cut the engine and got out to see what the problem was. But the trailer was right in the center of the driveway with nothing in its way.

I got back into the cab, but now the engine wouldn’t start. We popped the hood to check the condition of the battery and its connections. All seemed fine. We still had plenty of work remaining to do on the boat, so we decided to let You-Stall’s 24-hour roadside service handle it.

An hour later, a truck from a local service station arrived. The driver tested the battery, then attached the cables from his heavy-duty battery booster. But no matter what the mechanic tried, that truck wouldn’t even think about starting. Perplexed by this mystery, he began examining the entire engine and soon

discovered the source of the problem: the dipstick was completely dry. There wasn’t a drop of oil in the engine. Inspecting the oil pan and underbody didn’t reveal any sign of a leak, so it was likely that this problem had been in the making for a long time.

Now this hulking corpse of a truck was stuck in our driveway, probably with an irreparably seized engine.

This was our second vehicle of the weekend that needed to be towed away.

So our short shakedown cruise turned into a 32hour trial. But never once during these events did Janet and I exchange any harsh words. Maybe we’re just mellowing with age, but there really wasn’t anything that either of us could have done to prevent these problems, and we took each misfortune in stride. Despite everything, we still had fun. The truck problems and resulting issues were comical. And we got to meet interesting people, who went out of their way to help us.

Above all, the boat had performed flawlessly. We had a beautiful day of early spring sailing, when most other boats were still smothered under their winter covers. It was great to be out on the water, and we had forgotten how fun it is to sail a small boat. There is something about being close to the water’s surface and being able to instantly feel every trim adjustment and every wind shift.

To our delight, we discovered more upsides to

trailer-sailing: The shallow draft allows us to explore areas inaccessible to most cruising sailboats, and the lower maintenance requirements mean that proportionately more of our time is spent sailing rather than fixing equipment. And we can trailer the boat to any body of water accessible by boat ramp. Penobscot Bay, dozens of mountain-rimmed lakes, Acadia National Park, and Cape Cod are all within a few hours’ drive of our home.

Some day we will sail off to distant horizons in a blue-water cruiser, but the boat we really want is still far off in our future. Our jobs take us, for most of the summer, to a remote field-research station in the Bay of Fundy. It’s gratifying work that keeps us busy around the clock for months at a time. But in the Meantime, we’ll be having fun gunkholing around the coast of Maine during spring and fall.

running backstays are on, the storm sails are ready, the third reef point is in the main, the jerrycans of water and fuel are secured, the life raft and EPIRB are inspected and are in place.

We had to sit through a great week of weather while we waited for the canvas man, and waited for a part for the outboard. When you are finally, finally ready for the big adventure, the patience wears thin and you just want to go. Finally, we did.

Our first leg was to Portland, where we visited with friends and waited for another good weather window.

Looking back, I have to admit, the universe knows. We have to pay attention to that. Had we left a week earlier, there is a good chance that we would have gone offshore earlier, and gotten involved in the severe early-November storms, and Hurricane Sean.

As cruisers, and in life, we need to listen to those gut feelings, and allow for the delays. And then really enjoy the ride.

Oct. 5, 2011: Ahoy there, we are finally under way!

We departed Portland Harbor at 0830. There’s a smallcraft advisory, which could really affect us, but we are going with the northerly winds and the wave action.

It is great. We are making good time, so not sure how far we will go today. The sun is shining, the bow is pointed south, life is good.

Oct. 6: We headed out of Portsmouth, N.H., at 7 a.m., under a beautiful, clear sky, but it was ohhhhh so chilly.

I should have done some rodeo training before we left.

It was like riding a bucking bronco today for a while, so we ducked into Gloucester after a five-hour passage.

Also, maybe we pressed a little too much because another sailboat came from way behind, passed us, and went way, way ahead. We were averaging seven knots, so they had to be doing . . . I don’t want to talk about it.

Anyway, we are at the Eastern Point Yacht Club. Very nice. Very old.

Walked into town – a very long walk – and caught the bus back. Here we are. Early start toward the Cape Cod Canal tomorrow.

Oct. 7: We awakened this a.m. to a beautiful, clear sky and still quite brisk temps. The Gulf of Maine and Cape Cod Bay were beautiful — for water-skiing. No wind, so we motored the whole day with significant rock-and-roll action while the seas calm down from the past several days of big winds.

So there wasn’t much going on. I spliced a new line for the dinghy painter, and Larry and I talked about weather. For me, it’s kind of like understanding electricity: I have trouble making the connections. But Larry, he thought a cold front is when his fly is open. I don’t even want to ask what he thinks a high-pressure system is.

Oct. 11: We went through the Cape Cod Canal and spent the night anchored in Onset. Left early Saturday for Quisset Harbor, near Falmouth, Mass. We stopped to visit our new friends Ed and JoAnne, who are great hosts, fed us like little piglets, and Ed and his neighbor Ed, helped us find a special part for the boat.

So this guy on the dock in Quissett is Wes, from Nantucket, and he looked at Larry, and said, “Hey, I know you. You’re Larry!� He worked for Larry as a painter and then a baker 27 years ago. Wes is now the owner of Nantucket Coffee Roasters. Now we can say we know people on Nantucket!!

Then we are on the boat getting ready to leave the harbor, and a lady going by in a dinghy called, “Sharon is that you?� Lucy B. is a former student of Women Under Sail, and was on her way out sailing.

Yeah!!

Oct. 11: We are now on our way to Long Island Sound. Yesterday, Larry’s daughter Jill and our granddaughter Isabella joined us for the trip down the sound to New York City. Our first leg was to Cuttyhunk Island. We got off the boat and went for a long

walk. We were last there about 15 years ago. My, how that place has changed!

Crossing Buzzards Bay, and heading for Point Judith, R.I., at this moment. Broad reach at about four knots. Sounds like weather is coming in tomorrow.

Haven’t decided what we’ll do. Trying to get to Watch Hill, and then we’ll see.

Oct. 14: We went into Branford, Conn., last night.

Branford has a very narrow/shallow channel into a very congested boating center. Five marinas with over 2,000 boats crammed into a small space.(this has to be utter chaos in the summer). We moored between two pilings. We have never seen this before. You pick up a line they have between the two posts and then connect bow and stern. We spent a quiet night.

We screwed up the outboard this a.m., and found some really helpful folks at the marina. Paul has worked at this marina for 43 years and knows everyone. He helped us get a mechanic, Paulie, and it’s an easy fix, but we do need a new part, so we will get that tomorrow here in Bridgeport. Paulie is a “Jersey Boy� if ever I’ve seen one. And Paul and Paulie are the nicest guys you’d want to meet.

look for a boat part. City Island is very historic, and very cool. Like a step back in time, and very New York: They think we have accents in Maine! We went into a Maritime Museum, which is amazing. They used to build some very fancy, famous yachts here back in the day.

We have had some really nice sails so far on the trip – a crisp broad reach nearly every day. Things are going to change for us soon as the winds shift to the southwest. We are 50 miles from NYC and have plans to meet some friends and do some tourist things.

Oct. 17: Woke early and caught a bus off City Island, and then caught the 6 train into the city. Isabella has never been here, and when we got off the train at 77th Street, the look on her face was priceless. Monster buildings, monster traffic, people everywhere – overwhelming. We decided to check out the 79th Street boat basin on the Hudson River, so we figured we could just walk across Central Park and pick it up on the other side. Well, I should have had my compass or GPS, because we didn’t go the right direction. During that trek, we had a delightful journey in Central Park, got involved in a huge walk for cancer research, heard live music in several locations in the park, saw people rowing in ponds with water as green as the greenest trees. Then we got on Columbus Avenue and walked

through the best arts and crafts show, and at the other end of that show was the Sunday flea market. We struck gold, and it was so much fun. Then we finally made it to the marina, and hooked up with our Jersey friends, who took us to the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Harlem. OMG, what awsome food! It is right next to the original Cotton Club, so that was pretty cool, too.

After pigging out on the piggy, we went up town to Times Square, to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and on and on. We walked a zillion miles.

Oct. 18: Today Jill arrived, we did laundry, and then sailed down the East River, along the East side of Manhattan, made it through Hell Gate, past Laguardia Airport, Riker’s Island prison, dodged the huge Staten Island ferries, and admired Lady Liberty.

I gotta tell ya, sailing up to the Statue of Liberty just takes my breath away. What an experience. What history. What a day. Not over yet. We are now moored at the 79th Street Boat Basin on the Hudson, and I am sure that someone put our boat into a washing machine. Not much sleep tonight I think. Tomorrow, we are going to the 911 Memorial, and we will try to score some tickets for a show.

THERACIN How to win Bermuda?

Let us count the ways The Newport Bermuda Race has six divisions and 17 classes.

The 166 boats entered in last June’s event raced for over 100 trophies, including five major division trophies under the Offshore Racing Rule (ORR) system, and one major prize for IRC that combines most boats in the St. David’s and Gibbs Hill divisions that choose to be dualscored. There was also one prize for the Spirit of Tradition Division. Winners in the 17 classes won perpetual trophies and up to four-deep keepers based on the number of boats in the class.

The St. David’s Lighthouse is often regarded as the main trophy because that division is the largest with 93 boats, and because it carries on the founder’s aim to get amateurs sailing offshore in cruising-racing boats.

Winning any division is worth bragging rights. The St. David’s Lighthouse Trophy for the St. David’s Lighthouse Division: Carina, the McCurdy & Rhodes 48, sailed by Rives Potts (Westbrook Conn.), finished at 18:16:59 Monday with a corrected time was 45:08:16. This division is for mostly amateur crews.

Verdict: New Cup racing format rocks

By Greg Coppa For Points East The AC34 (34th America’s Cup Challenge) World Series has been globe-tripping with recent events in Napoli and Venezia on Italy’s Tyrrhenian and Adriatic coasts. For those who have not been following Cup action regularly, since the “Auld Mug” began its wandering passages from Newport after 1983, it was heartening to learn that the most recent America’s Cup World Series event was held in Newport, R.I., June 26-July 1, and included both fleet and match races. But know this: It was definitely not your daddy’s Cup races.

In fact, in Newport before the arrival of the new vessels, there was more than a little discussion about whether or not those “go-fast cats” were legitimate heirs to the J Boats and 12-Meter Cup defenders of another age. The concern seemed to be generational, with those old enough to remember the Andy Grif-

A sea captain said in all his years at sea he had never been scared until he sailed an Atlantic before a smoky southwester in a steep following sea.

Atlantic Class: An 85-year, all-Northeast affair

By Berto Nevin For Points East Starling Burgess was ahead of his time when he designed the 30-foot Atlantic in 1927. When looking at the New York Yacht Club model, or photographs, of the 1937 Cup Defender Ranger that he designed a decade later, one sees an Atlantic on steroids.

The Atlantic was elegant, beautifully balanced and tracked well, so it quickly established itself as the fastest one-design class of its size. Even in blustery summer weather, it out-sailed the larger International One Design. Several Atlantics had been brought to Blue Hill by Dr. Seth Milliken. He gave one each to Fred and Alida Camp, his daughter and son-in-law and one to his other daughter Martha. Alvin Dohme, of Dohms’ Pills fame, Boots Britton, and Henry Wanning also bought into the fleet when they realized how well the Atlantics sailed.

The Burgess name was not unknown hereabouts.

Many local sailors had cut their tiller teeth on the Brutal Beast, a Burgess design 13-foot catboat whose unforgiving nature either helped hone sailing skills or persuaded one to never, ever consider small-boat sailing a viable summer pastime.

One report has it that two of the Milliken Atlantics came into the bay as deck cargo on one of the large private motor yachts that were a common sight in those days; another was sailed from Portland. The experienced sea captain making that delivery claimed later 64 Points East August 2012

that in all his years at sea he had never been scared until he found himself in Penobscot Bay, sailing an Atlantic before a smoky southwesterly in the short, steep following sea. Yet the Atlantics were perfectly suited for the protected waters of Blue Hill Bay. Given their speed, especially in extremely light air, they appealed to the young, hotly competitive racing skipper, so the fleet continued to grow until the war broke out.

WWII put an end to normal racing, although racing activity did not come to a complete standstill. A veteran Atlantic skipper, Delight Weston, arranged races for the Brutal Beast class, using her Atlantic, Delight’s Frolic, as committee boat and rescue ship.

The Blue Hill Atlantic fleet flourished after the war.

About eight to 10 Atlantics arrived at the starting line on race days, until the end of the 1940s, and then the fleet went into steep decline. That reservoir of young, aggressive skippers who came home from the war, and attended college on the GI bill, had graduated and now had to find work.

The boats were also showing their age. Lightly built to begin with, they leaked copiously when sailed hard.

The Long Island Sound fleets also suffered when their skippers, attracted to newer fiberglass one-designs, deserted. Yet the Atlantics could beat them all, sailing boat for boat, until the arrival of the Etchells 22 in 1966. Despite the drop in skippers, the Atlantic Class ATLANTIC, continued on Page 66 editor@pointseast.com

ATLANTIC, continued from Page 64 Association was adamant that the fleet remain a “closed class,” that is, they would not approve the introduction of new boats into the class, but they did come up with a compromise that may have saved them. They approved “conversions” of boats to fiberglass hulls. With financial support from one of their champion skippers, Briggs Cunningham, they commissioned Cape Cod Shipbuilding in Wareham, Mass., to make a mold for an Atlantic hull.

The writer John Hersey volunteered his Rumour to be the prototype. After a season of racing the glass Rumour, Hersey submitted an extensive report on her performance. Based on his findings, the Class Association decided to accept fiberglass hulls. It was a limiting decision because, in order to obtain a fiberglass Atlantic, one needed the original deadwood and keel to attach the hull to, but it stabilized the Long Island Sound fleets.

The Blue Hill fleet continued to dwindle to where they could not get any Atlantics to race. In 1957, a brazen young local skipper and his sister decided to do something about it. That fall they bought an old Atlantic, ordered a glass hull from Cape Cod Shipbuilding, and arranged for a boatyard in Saugatuck, Conn., to make the conversion. He spent the following July sailing the newly converted Lucero from Saugatuck to

Blue Hill, singlehanding much of the way.

She won every race in that August Series. The hope was, given her performance, others would be persuaded to convert their Atlantics, but the conversions were slow in coming. In 1962, the second glass Atlantic, Madcap, arrived. She swiftly put a dent in Lucero’s flawless winning streak and then came the deluge.

The Class Association abandoned the original-deadwood requirement, thus opening the class, and the demographics of Blue Hill had changed dramatically.

There was a surfeit of highly competitive rock stars, for whom the Atlantic served as a perfect weapon. Now Blue Hill’s Kollegewidgwok Yacht Club boasts of having the largest Atlantic fleet.

For the first time ever, in 2008, the Class held their National Championship series outside Long Island sound in Blue Hill. It will be held again in Blue Hill in August, and about 45 boats are expected to compete.

With today’s technology, the boats are “trailerfriendly,” and the character of Blue Hill Bay makes it an ideal location for the class to hold their races.

A lifelong summer resident of Blue Hill, Ethelbert (or “Berto”) moved here full time with his wife, Jennifer Mitchell, in 1996 from San Francisco, after a career in college textbook publishing with W. W. Norton. He is an experienced one-design sailor, having raced Shields in San Francisco Bay and Atlantics in Blue Hill.

2012 Rockland-Castine Regatta wrap-up The 2012 Rockland-Castine Regatta, “2nd Revival Edition,” was again a huge success. Twenty-five boats registered, and 24 made it to the starting line on July 7. The wind forecast for both Saturday and Sunday was for 10-plus knots of west-northwest breeze.

On Saturday, the wind was light just before the start; however, as Panacea crossed the line to start the pursuit race, the wind filled in to a very nice 12- to 15-knot breeze. All the racing boats started with spinnakers in Rockland Harbor and raced a mostly straight course 20-plus miles to Castine. The wind was up and down but never under eight knots, and the direction went a bit more northerly at the end requiring most of the boats to finish under jib or genoa only in Castine.

On Sunday, the sailors woke up to a strong breeze that at one point was about 25 knots from the westnorthwest. Just after the start, the wind died down to 15 knots, but stayed strong all the way to the finish in Rockland. Fast times were set both days, with Irish Lady, a Farrier 28A trimaran skippered by James Love, finishing in two hours, 18 minutes and two seconds on Saturday. On Sunday, Bluebird, a Morris Justine 36 skippered by Gust Stringos, finished in two hours, nine

The ill skipper of the 46-foot sloop Seabiscuit was evacuated from his boat competing in the Newport Bermuda Race. Nathan C. Owen (Norwell, Mass.), racing in the Double-Handed Division, was suffering from complications from dehydration. A report of his condition was relayed to the race’s primary emergency physician, Barbara A. Masser MD, at Beth Israel Deaconess, in Needham, Mass. Dr. Masser emailed recommendations for Owen’s treatment to the race’s team of watchstanders, who relayed the advice to Seabiscuit. Watchstander Steven Thing reviewed a list of boats that had doctors in the crew, and asked the nearest one, Flying Lady, to rendezvous with Seabiscuit and assist in treating the patient. The sea was too rough to transfer the doctor, but Flying Lady tossed medications and medical equipment across to Seabiscuit.

Dr. Masser soon determined that Owen should be under professional care, and the Rescue Coordination Centre asked the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Enchantment of the Seas, en route from Bermuda to Boston, to effect an evacuation. The ship took Owen off Seabiscuit at approximately 3 a.m. on Monday morning. His crew, Jonathan Green, sailed on to Bermuda.

CUP, continued from Page 63 fith Show expressing the most doubt.

Today’s younger sailing enthusiasts seem to feel that what their parents thought of as “futuristicâ€? yacht designs were actually pretty conventional. They had about as little apprehension about their appropriateness as they have about using the iPhone in a romantic four-star restaurant. (“Dude‌so what if the jib has been replaced with a wing?!â€?)

To build interest in the actual defense, which is to be hosted by San Francisco in September 2013, Cup racing promoters scheduled a series of races at various yachting Meccas, including Cascais, Portugal; Plymouth, England; San Diego, and the above-mentioned Italian venues. Involved in the racing were teams from the United States, France, Italy, Korea, New Zealand and Sweden. Designated as AC45s (America’s Cup 45 footers), the carbon-fiber cats in the AC World Series were all built as one-designs by Core Builders of Warkworth, New Zealand.

For the main event, the AC45s will be scaled up into AC72s (yes, 72-footers), and will be built by the syndicates of each challenger. Think of the 45s as trial-size contenders that are working out yacht-construction details and a myriad of other technical issues pertaining to hulls and rigs. The World Series format is also a test of sorts of fan related logistics since the races now have, like NASCAR, viewing areas on terra firma, but close by the racecourses. Naturally, there were still spectator boats and a well-developed Race Village on the north lawn of Fort Adams was colonized around July 1.

Based on a great deal of scuttlebutt I overheard during the Series, it appears that Cup fans liked two things MUCH better than the way they were around Newport in 1983: the inshore courses and the TV coverage. The courses for both match and fleet racing

were set so that viewers at Fort Adams, Goat Island, and even on the Jamestown shore, could easily see the action – even without binoculars. With binoculars you could pretend you were actually on the boats.

In the “old days� the 12-Meter boats would be towed out of Newport Harbor in the morning, disappear for hours, and then someone would telegraph in the race details to the news outlets. Talk about restricted access!

And the TV coverage was absolutely superb, with onboard cameras, and cameras on chase boats, and as many as Emerites Team three low-hovering helicopters New Zealand capturing the dramatic action. added a NASCAR The running TV commentary element while was excellent, and the ability to capsizing. superimpose graphics on video screens showing courses as well as starting and finish lines (like NFL line-of-scrimmage graphics) helped those new to yacht racing to really understand what was Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget happening and what was going to happen next.

To get an idea how dramatically the Cup races have changed, think skiers and snowboarders. They both traverse the same ground, but that’s about it. Frankly, Newport race fans seemed to be more interested in the revolutionary boat designs; accessible, viewer-friendly courses; and spectacular TV coverage than they were in the team results.

That skipper Russell Coutts and Oracle Team USA won the well-orchestrated Newport match-racing series was almost a footnote. But now that America’s Cup fans have gotten answers to a lot of pre-series questions, expect them to focus more on the actual racing and teams in the events leading up to San Francisco.

Greg Coppa has been sailing on Narragansett Bay for over 50 years in Blue Jays, Lightnings, Ensigns, assorted Bristols and Pearsons, and most recently in a Sabre 28, Coppacetic.

Author worried he’d led crew to their deaths The Other Side of the Ice

By Sprague Theobald and Allan Krada, Skyhorse Publishing, 2012, 240 pp., $20.34 (hard-cover).

Reviewed by Sandy Marsters For Points East It has been a long time since the marinepublishing trade has given us a compelling, true sea story. We have one now in “The Other Side of the Ice.” This is a story about a man chasing a dream, to navigate a small boat through the treacherous Northwest Passage. It is not a story about heroes. It is a story about six flawed and very human beings coming together on a 57-foot boat for the adventure of a lifetime.

There is danger absolutely everywhere: shifting pack ice, endless gales, polar bears, deep cold, malfunctioning equipment, deeply complicated relationships, shaky finances, alcoholism, and a leader prone to endless self-examination,

self-analysis, introspection, anger, and frustration, and, finally, hallucinations.

That leader is the author, Sprague Theobald, a filmmaker and globe-circling yachtsman who traces his boating roots to a 12foot sailboat in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, on which his mother tricked him into his first solo sail at age six. Much later, in his late 50s — with a dream and with a splintered family of his own and a 57foot Nordhavn diesel cruiser, Bagan — Theobald recalls thinking, with typical intensity and panic, as he sets out from Newport, R.I., to find and navigate the Northwest Passage, “Have I brought us all together to lead us to our deaths?”

That fear and self-doubt pervades

the book with an intensity that makes it as much a psychological thriller as maritime adventure. What is going on inside the heads of Theobald and the five crew, three of whom are his grown children, is as intense as what is going on outside.

Theobald writes: “The audacity and seeming hubris of undertaking such a project gained a loud and unrelenting voice inside of me, one that I had to constantly struggle with and try and keep in check, for had the others gotten a whiff of these fears and insecurities, I felt it would be detrimental to keeping their own fears at bay.”

Well, if the crew couldn’t smell fear on that boat, then there was something wrong with their noses, because the air was thick with it. And who wouldn’t be scared? The odds of success, or of even living through the experience, were not at all good.

First, there are the ghosts of countless failed expeditions by explorers and adventurers trying to find a way across the top of North America. The most notorious was the expedition by Brit John Franklin in 1845, whose two 120-foot ships, the Erebus and the Terror, vanished along with all 129 crew.

It wasn’t until 1906 that explorer Roald Amundsen finally pushed through, but only after three years of trying. That didn’t exactly open up the floodgates of commerce through the Northwest Passage. Even big

tankers have had to be rescued by icebreakers.

Who wouldn’t be sending out a few fear pheromones?

There is danger everywhere, and the crew quickly becomes hypersensitive to it. “Sprague, this is a bad place,” says Theobald’s stepdaughter, Dominique, at one point. “We shouldn’t be here.” Minutes later, they find out why.

Still, Theobald believes he can shelter the crew from the worst of those fears, and he becomes a very lonely person in the process. “Was I scared?” he asks himself.

“I don’t know. None of these concerns were ever paralyzing, but they loomed large mentally, and I felt it best not to burden anyone around me.”

Eventually, Theobald’s fear takes on the form of a “thin but solid black line, just off to the side, in my peripheral vision.” For the rest of the trip, the line remains, “a line not to get too close to, for if you did, and it suddenly chose to move in closer and I were to find out that I’d accidentally crossed it, there’d be no coming back to this side….”

Theobald is a man pushed to extremes as he pursues a dream turned nightmare. I don’t envy or even admire him that much, but I appreciate his honesty, and I am thankful for a sea story well told.

YARDWORK/People and proj ects

An Apprenticeshop summer boat launch is always an exciting affair, finally putting lines, planks, fastenings, paint, varnish, and sweat equity into the water.

Apprenticeshop launches six traditional boats Six traditionally built wooden boats took their maiden voyage on June 22 at the Apprenticeshop in Rockland, Maine. This annual June launch marked graduation day for four of the apprentices enrolled in the school’s twoyear wooden boatbuilding program, and culminates the work of the last six months for all students.

Among the projects to be splashed were Lyric, an Olympic 5.5 Meter. Originally donated to the school a decade ago, Lyric underwent a major restoration this winter. The school reintroduced the 31-foot sloop as its flagship and plans to race her in several classic woodenboat races this summer.

Atlantic Boat Company splashes a Duffy 26 Portland Y.C. launch Atlantic Boat Company, in Brooklin, Maine, reports that the newest Duffy 26 Launch slid down the ways in late June. Portland Yacht Club’s James M. Churchill was delivered four weeks ahead of schedule. The U.S. Coast Guard increased the weight-per-person expectation for its certified passenger launches from 140 to 185 pounds, effective in 2012. This reportedly has many yacht clubs and marinas facing a dramatic reduction in passenger capacity. With this new ruling in mind, Atlantic Boat introduced the Duffy 26 Launch.

An independent marine surveyor, an engineer, and the USCG each performed stability tests to confirm the 76 Points East August 2012

Also launched was the Perkins Island Lighthouse tender, a replication of a 15-foot Oliver Lyman rowing/sailing boat originally built in 1907 and kept in the collection at the Maine Maritime Museum since 1971. This project was a collaboration between The Apprenticeshop and Maine Maritime Museum, in celebration of their concurrent (40th/50th respectively) anniversaries. The boat is to be raffled off this summer.

Three Susan skiffs, the standard first project for all first-year and intensive students, hit the salt, as well as a 10-foot Herreshoff Columbia dinghy. FMI: www.apprenticeshop.org

The Duffy 26s are certified as open, canopied and enclosed launches. That’s the PYC launch in the background.

Hinckley Co. launches new Talaria

Briefly

Hull No. 1 of the Hinckley T34 was launched in early July in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Twin Yanmar 6BY2- 260s paired to the Hamilton Jets’ 242 product provide a top end of 32 knots at wide-open throttle. The lines of the Hinckley T34 carry on the family tradition established by the Picnic Boat, the builder says. The curve from rooftop to cockpit coaming, tumblehome, and the half-round toe rail describing the sheerline are familiar hallmarks, Hinckley says.

“The boat carries the deadrise all the way aft and it gives the boat a very precisely controlled handling characteristic,” Hinckley’s Jim McManus added. “And with just 22 inches of draft, the boat goes where others cannot,” said McManus.

Specifications: LOA 34’3”, Beam 11’, Draft 24”, Displ.

14,000 lbs., Fuel 160 gals., Water 35 gals., Cruising speed 28 knots, Top speed 32 knots, Transom Deadrise 19 degrees. FMI: Contact Rosemary O’Brien, robrien@hinckleyyBRIEFS, continued on Page 78 achts.com, 401-862-1698.

The Leight rests quietly under the shore of Round Island in Maine's Merchant Row, the operative word being “under.”

Hugging the lee at Round Island n island looming off the bow has been a provocative metaphor for ages. It still is, even for the smallest of isles, because many of them have suffered few indignities at Man’s hands, are pleasingly wild, and eminently worthy of our scrutiny, not merely a quick motoring-about-and-back-aboardfor-cocktails-thank you, but something more imaginative.

Round Island, a swell of rock and spruce on the north shore of Maine’s Merchant Row, is one of more than a dozen sovereign realms of granite and greenery gathered in a loose knot between Isle au Haut and Stonington, Maine. Described as a “reasonably good anchorage” by one writer, this left so much unsaid that we mounted the first of many expeditions to make of it what we could.

For starters, it’s exposed to all winds, but for those out of the southwest through the west, and even then, a fresh blow from that bent can curl through the teacup of a cove between Round and McGlathery Islands. The secret is to hug close under the lee, though

none of the three other boats in residence were. Skirting the eight-12-foot contours, we found decent holding between a doghead of sand and ledges making out of the southeast point to halfway up the east shore. (Editors note: A “doghead” is a “David word” inferring a knob or gnarled finger of land projecting from the adjacent curve of shore.) Letting the anchor go close aboard, only mere scurries of air ruffled the silky reflections of spruce and sky a few boat lengths away.

An inviting crescent of sandy beach, punctuated by a scattering of boulders, was not to be denied, and soon welcomed the dinghy with a sigh. Following a broad boulevard of granite northward, the views were commanding, and it was easy walking till we arrived on the west shore, where the “sidewalk” tilted precariously in places and we edged along smooth stone slabs holding onto tree branches.

A few clusters of what, as kids, we called “pricker bushes” yielded raspberries possessed of a tart, sweetness that lingered long on the tongue. Further along, we managed to gather a few mussels, which we stuffed editor@pointseast.com

into a net bag. Consuming the fruit of such places is a communion of sorts.

A feint game path diverged from shore, and we threaded our way between spruce in all states of being, from sprouts to ancients rotting away in the duff, creating the stuff of new life. A few yards along a rusting bed frame and a few rotted boards testified to a former habitation, as did a circle of rocks that might have been a shallow well. It was the stuff of epic tales, man in the wild, man the animal, man the island, heroic designs and grand dreams, if only a moment in time.

Back along the shoreway, an osprey soared, carving up the blue, then hovered, wings aquiver. Folding its feathery foils close, it plunged into the watery depths and emerged with a herring in its talons, every bit as primal a moment as anything on the wild savannah. Song sparrows sought out insects with great energy, flying in erratic bursts, and swooping so fast in pursuit of their quarry we could hardly follow them.

Other revelations were more prosaic, such as the five a.m. wake-up call issued by the Stonington lobster fleet on its way to a day of hauling traps, cruisers dreams being of no matter whatsoever to them, except on Sunday mornings in July and August — sometimes.

We’ve called here for 40 years, and are still peeling away the layers. Discovery is as much art as act. It takes time, years…..forever, but it’s much more revealing to be a traveler than tourist.

New Engl and fish ing repor ts

Maine

Stripers slow, steady; tuna, cod are erratic

By Capt. Greg Metcalf For Points East We have had a great month of weather and fishing reports inshore and offshore. All we can tell you is to go to your favorite spots and fish the tides. The best striped bass reports are from local surfcasters casting bait off Kennebunk and Camp Ellis Jetties.

Capt Lou Tirado, of Diamond Pass Outfitters, and the boys were catching stripers first thing in the morning, just outside the channel, using top-water lures.

They were small schoolies, and a few keepers, but all were lots of fun to fight with light tackle and artificial lures. Jack Savasta has been in the Saco River live-lining mackerel and has had great success. Stripers were a little shy with chunks on the ocean floor, but in between fighting the green crabs, Justin Sheehan had some Luck at Higgins Beach. The Al Gag Whip-it Eel, Bill Hurley Arkansas Shad, and white five-inch

Shanka soft lures worked in the current all have been working well near the Goose Fair Brook area. Ben Day has had success fishing Biddeford Pool, using a Striper Maniac, Bay Pollock-color wood plug.

Pete Morse, on Teazer Charters, was on Tantas Ledge and found a few cod, but in the 18- to 22-inch range. Capt. Ron Littlefield put his clients on cod and a couple of haddock on Jeffreys Ledge. Fish the deeper water coming off the ledges, and, so far, the teaser above a purple jig seems to work better than the jig alone.

Signs of sharks are showing up from ground fishing trips. Porbeagles are chasing the cod coming up from the bottom, and a few tuna fisherman are getting “bit off” by a few blue sharks as the water temperatures increase. The bluefin tuna action started off great but slowed down a bit with some rough waters. We should start to here a few positive tuna stories soon.

Western Long Island Sound

Fishing is in full swing: Options are endless

By Richard DeMarte For Points East With water temperatures remaining in the high 60s and low 70s, the fishing continues to be fabulous. A significant contributor to the fast fishing is the record-breaking amount of bait in these waters.

Due in great part to the 40 percent reduction of the huge net boats scooping up tons of bunker along the Maryland shoreline, massive pods of bunker have made it into the Long Island Sound.

This is having a profound effect on fishing in Long Island Sound from as far west as Execution Lighthouse at the New York City border all the way along the Connecticut shoreline to Rhode Island.

As the saying goes, “Where there’s bait, there are fish feeding on them,” and stripers and blues are loving every minute of it as they relentlessly gorge themselves. And every fisherman in the area is loving it and taking full advantage. These adult bunker are also actively spawning and their fry (aka peanut bunker) are

Baiting up a live bunker for some early morning striper fishing can result in long hard fights

also turning on the fluke fishing as well. Not to be outdone, the porgy (scup) fishing is also in high gear, so if you want to hear your reel scream, now is the time to pick one of more of these species and hit the beach, jetties and boats to get in on the action. Here are a few snapshots of how the action is playing out: Blues: Alex Stein, a boat owner and fisherman from the Connecticut River, is finding action as far east as his area as well. “I’m targeting blues at various stages of the tide and haven’t been disappointed yet. The action is hot whether you’re throwing plugs, tins, bucktails, or are jigging. The birds also make it easy to find the smaller cocktail blues as they join forces to feed on the bait fish as well” Fluke: Hank Weiss, an avid fisherman and charter captain in Cos Cob, Conn., describes the fluke fishing as the best he’s seen in years. “The waters are teaming

with bait, and fluking along the north shore of Long Island from Mt, Sinai, Port Jefferson, Oyster Bay. Lloyds Neck, and farther west to Matinecock as well as along the Greenwich, Conn., shoreline is simply phenomenal.”

Lou Dell, who also actively fishes the New York/Connecticut border, in and around Captain’s Harbor, also told me, “The fluke are feeding voraciously now. Drift fishing for fluke using bucktails tipped with TriggerX softbaits has me into some excellent fluke. They’re hitting hard and I’m having a blast.”

Stripers: Most fisherman have shifted to nighttime trips when targeting stripers. Live-lining and chunking with bunker in 30 to 60 feet of water is yielding decent-sized keeper stripers from 15 to 20 pounds, and several 30-plus-pounders have been raised as well.

And you can count on some chopper blues to be in the mix.

The scene on the weekend nights is made even more

enjoyable with a mix of smaller boats as well as the party boats, light up like Christmas trees, all getting into the action. Some sharpies are also still doing well striper fishing in the early morning hours by working in and around the harbor. Snagging bunker before the sun rises, and before the boat traffic starts, are the keys to success. The first few hours of light is the right time to get into some sizable stripers feeding in the shallows and mouths of harbors before the sun gets too high and the water temps start to climb.

Porgies: Chumming is a must to get the porgies worked up into a feeding frenzy and to keep the action going so bring along some frozen blocks of chopped clams. Anchor up near a rock pile or wreck, get that clam slick going, and you’ll be handsomely rewarded with some of these tasty fish. The bait of choice is sandworms, although some “porgy pros” also swear by one-inch cubes of bunker as bait.

Without a doubt, the fishing is at its peak now, so whether after blues, stripers, porgies or fluke, if you put in the time you’re sure to get into some action.

With that said, if you’re planning on wetting a line, it’s important to know and follow the fishing regulations which you can find on the homepage of my website www.nyctfishing.com at the link labeled “NY and CT Regulations.” Also, don’t forget that you’ll need to have a fishing license in both New York and Connecticut.

For more information about how to get your license, visit the link labeled “Fishing News Flashes” on the homepage.

Richard is headed to Binghamton University this fall to start his college education, where he’ll be majoring on environmental studies. On the fishing front, he’s focused on landing, tagging, measuring, weighing and releasing his 1,000th striped bass. He will have a regular fishing column in Points East through the fall.

Isn’t this a hoot? Powerboats race around Squirrel Island in the 1920s, when 835 motorboats were registered in Boothbay Harbor.

Boothbay Harbor rich in power and sail lore t’s almost a natural law: Whenever two or more boats of similar size and design are going in the same direction, it is a race — in the mind of at least one of the skippers. And this July 27, when sailing vessels of various sizes, shapes and PHRF ratings, left Stonington, Conn., on the 332-mile course around Nantucket Shoals heading for Boothbay Harbor, Maine, in the biennial The Corinthians Stonington to Boothbay Harbor Ocean Race, it was a US Sailingsanctioned Category 2 race that echoed the famous “destination races” of the past and provided excitement and challenge for today’s yachtsmen and crews.

The “Lobster Run,” as it was dubbed, is a true ocean race here in New England waters, one that fulfills the mission of the Gulf of Maine Ocean Racing Association (GMORA). The combination of the Marion-Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race and Marblehead to Halifax Race in odd years, and the Newport Bermuda and Lobster Run races in even years, provides the opportunity for serious testing of nautical skills every year in the North Atlantic.

The Lobster Run is sponsored by The Corinthians, a boating association that today includes over 500 members from Virginia to New England.

Founded over 78 years ago by a group of yachting

I

enthusiasts, both boat owners and non-boat owners, The Corinthians describe themselves as “a unique group of people who have an abiding interest and passion in boats, sailing, and things nautical.”

And boat races, always an important part of the boating life in New England, meet that criteria. With the inclusion of the Lobster Run in their annual activities, The Corinthians have added a”Destination Race” that appeals to increasing numbers of sailors every two years.

The Lobster Run destination of Boothbay Harbor has a long history of yacht racing, beginning in 1886 with the Boothbay Yachting Association promotion of the Glorious 4th Grand Celebration. Eight entries were in that race, with the winning yacht receiving a silver pitcher as a trophy. Later that same summer, a series of three races was held to compete for The Boothbay Cup. This event was followed with festivities that included visits by the U.S. Navy ship Tennessee, band concerts and dances.

By 1895, the Boothbay Yachting Association had morphed into the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, and racing continued as a primary focus, while the club also welcomed visiting “yachtsmen, summer visitors, and those interested in marine sports.” The 1910 editor@pointseast.com

Tourists Handbook of Boothbay Harbor wrote that the “reputation among navigators that our harbor has accounts for its popularity. A well-organized yacht club – supporting free landings and an open clubhouse during the season’s much appreciated.”

The next decade brought a new kind of visiting boat to Boothbay when the Portland (Maine) Power Boat Association chose the harbor for its 1911 destination cruise, with 12 boats arriving in June. This event captured the attention of the Portland newspaper, which noted, “With the numerous flittings in and about of the motorboats, the scene of yachting activity is worth going miles to witness. With their brilliantly lighted lanterns at night, there is a genuine maze which lights up the entire harbor and makes this a never to be forgotten sight.” Sailing yachts continued to aim for Boothbay as a destination; the Boston Yacht Club arrived in July that year after a run of 108 miles across the Gulf of Maine.

As the 1920s approached, American yachtsmen exhibited a growing fascination with the internal-combustion engine, and the popularity of power boats exploded. In 1919, over 835 motorboats were registered in Boothbay Harbor. The 1925 motorboat races include the Fisherman Race (for fishermen or lobstermen), the Bang-and-Go-Back Race (an out-and-back race in which skippers were disqualified by altering speed once the race started), the Free for All Handicap (with staggered starting times which allowed the slowest boat to actually beat the fastest boat), and a simple Speed Boat Race.

The popularity of these races resulted in plans for still more powerboat events in 1926, and the discontinuation of any sailing yacht races that summer, although Boothbay Harbor continued to be the destination for cruises of a number of New England yacht clubs.

It wasn’t long, however, before this trend changed.

Just a few years later, the “Boothbay Register” noted, “It seems to be generally conceived [sic] that the former motorboat enthusiasts are now getting their fun out of their automobiles.” By 1931, sailors brought back sailboat competitions in Boothbay Harbor with the beginning of the BHYC One Design Races. These

continue today on a weekly basis, along with the weekly J/22 races.

Each race brought out an increasing number of boats from the surrounding midcoast. At the same time, the deepening Depression affected the powerboat racing scene: It was simply getting too expensive to buy fuel needed to achieve winning speeds. The year 1935 marked the end of BHYC-sponsored powerboat racing. The following year, the BHYC again hosted many sailing yachtsmen on their summer Downeast cruises. With WWII, recreational boating activity declined markedly, although some small sailboat racing continued. Many area sailors readied their boats for war work and spent many nights patrolling the waters of Midcoast Maine.

As the nation prospered following the war, so did the Downeast boating scene. Increasing numbers of sailors came to realize that the Boothbay Harbor Region is home to some of the best cruising grounds and racing venues on the East Coast. Today, the BHYC hosts yacht clubs from all parts of New England, north and south, as they begin their summer cruises of Maine’s 5,000-mile coastline. And for the racing yachtsman and yachtswoman, BHYC sponsors competitions including the Gulf of Maine Ocean Racing Regatta, the Commodore’s Cup, the Around Southport Race, the Maine State Optimist Championships, and twiceweekly club races, open to members and nonmembers.

For participants in this year’s Corinthian Lobster Run, Boothbay Harbor and the BHYC were the perfect destinations for relaxing after the race, as well as a harbor from which to begin a cruise north to explore the fabled Maine coast, or head south to return home.

And, upon leaving the harbor, remember a fundamental law of nature: When heading out, whether going north or south, if there are two or more similar boats going in the same direction, it is going to be a race.

After 25-years of sailboats, Susan and husband Larry went to an Eastbay 43 sedan powerboat, and after a summer in Maine, they plan to go south to Florida, the Keys, and maybe the Bahamas next winter.

This was yachting in the year 1916. We spot three gaff-sloops, a schooner and a motor launch.

Chebeague Island Boat Yard, LLC is located on the east side of Chebeague Island, Casco Bay’s largest island.

A family run business has been operated at the site for almost 100 years. Our sheltered location with open ocean views makes this a hidden gem for boaters cruising up and down the coast of Maine. We focus on service and storage and are now pleased to offer space in our new indoor heated facility. Mechanical and electrical repairs are done by ABYC Master Technicians with mobile field service provided if necessary. Mooring rentals, clean showers, free WiFi, and on-site US Postal Service are available. Our waterfront deck is perfect to sit and look out at the surrounding islands, or explore the pristine beach and island shoreline.

Our gift store, The Niblic, has the best coffee in Casco Bay along with freshly made baked goods, soup & sandwiches, beer, soda & ice, wine & cheese.

Maine made gifts and clothing and a Gallery to display the artistic talents of those with Chebeague connections round out the fare. As we like to say “Island Necessities & Marine Essentials”!

Set a course for one of Maine’s few year round island communities Cruising Clubs find CIBY & The Niblic an ideal destination!
