Letters The shorthanded racing circuit A new sailboat racing circuit is popping up around our waters here in New England coastal waters – the shorthanded racing circuit – and a remarkable series of events is available to singlehanded and doublehanded sailors. A crew may start in May on Long Island Sound, progress up to Maine and finish back in the western end of the sound. A busy boat could make about 14 events in one season. I count eight possible events held on the north side of Cape Cod. The question is: what is shorthanded sailing? A follow-up question is, Why would anyone participate?

Painting with a broad brush, shorthanded sailing is sailing the way most of us sail. Our boat, Averisera, is a doublehanded cruiser between multi-handed races.

When Mama and I cruise, we usually meet other couples sailing boats that are nicely prepared and well sailed. That’s shorthanded sailing. Why race? Simply stated: Racing improves cruising. Ever hear anyone brag about their slow passages? Me neither. Cruisers are as fond of fast passages as are racers.

Eight years ago, Mama and I bought our Aphrodite 101 and headed off to a New England Solo Twin Race in Newport. We were new at this, and it showed, but the veteran sailors made certain we were ready. They probed politely with questions and suggestions. We appreciated the attention.

Tips centered on personal preparation, planning and rest. It is not about your stuff; it’s about you. I have never experienced this camaraderie of shorthanded sailors anywhere in the fully crewed world. We departed the Newport event not just better sailors, but also with a handful of new friends. We continue to race shorthanded to build our skills for when we sail away.

We are becoming a better sailing team, and I am, arguably, more pleasant to cruise with.

A quick look at the shorthanded circuit reveals three major regions: Newport, including Eastern Long Island Sound and the Cape; western Long Island Sound; and north of Cape Cod. Each region has its own characteristics.

Western Long Island Sound features long-distance races such as The Block Island Race, the Around Long Island Race, and the Vineyard Race. Interestingly, Stamford Yacht Club hosts two days of doublehanded racing for PHRF cruising boats. I think this is the only club to have such an event.

Let’s call the races starting between eastern Long Island Sound and the south side of Cape Cod the Newport Region. Newport is Shorthanded-Racing Central.

Editor’s note: Links to the websites for each event may be found on www.pointeast.com.

Off the City by the Sea, events such as the New England Solo Twin, Offshore 160 and Bermuda One-Two take center stage. The popular Ida Lewis Distance Race, sailed out of Newport’s Ida Lewis Yacht Club, offers a PHRF doublehanded class. After that, you can figure on another dozen days of shorthanded racing, all starting within a day’s sail of Newport. A must-do is the Around Martha’s Vineyard Race.

North of Cape Cod, events are widely distributed.

Massachusetts Bay has a couple of events with Doublehanded trophies: the Beringer Bowl (Marblehead) and June Moon Chase Race (Boston). North of Cape Ann, Kittery Point Yacht Club hosts a pair of day races – one for singlehanders and one for doublehanders. In Maine, Rockland Yacht Club has the Provincetown to Rockland Gulf of Maine Solo-Twin. After racing Beringer, continue north and east to Maine for an August and September of cruising Downeast. In mid-September, it’s back to Rockland for the Maine Rocks Race. If you have any energy left, hustle on down to Greenport for their ocean race and then to Greenwich for the Indian Harbor Y.C.’s Gearbuster.

STORY, continued from Page 8 What’s going on in the rest of the country? The San Francisco and Great Lakes areas have some active shorthanded circuits. A cursory search shows another half-dozen events between Charleston and Key West.

Pockets of shorthanded sailing dot the U.S. lakes and seacoasts.

Wherever you are – and we New Englanders are in a superb region for shorthanded racing – tune up your sailing, boat and cruising skills for the Northeast’s shorthanded racing circuit. Elizabeth and I have the skinny boat with red and gray stripes, so come over and say hi. See you on the water.

Norman Martin Boston, Mass.

Editor’s note: Norm is probably best known for his work with Boston Sailing Center, and, with sailing schools in general, as a cruising-course captain. Norm and Elizabeth blog at Averisera.com.

Editor didn’t go up far enough I just read The Editor’s Page on gunkholing (“Gunkholing,” October/November 2013), and he’s right, Milltail Creek was it! But he didn’t go far enough up the creek.

I’ve sailed my boat from Cape Cod to Miami and Bahamas for the past 16 years. I always go inside to avoid Cape Hatteras, and have traveled the Alligator River many times. I have a 50-foot sloop and usually go alone, which is often gunkholing in itself .

The editor didn’t mention that it’s almost impossible to see, let alone find, the abandoned entrance to Milltail Creek. It is over a mile off the marked navigation channel of the 15-mile-long Alligator River (so named because it looks like an alligator in its configuration).

There are no houses or signs of life along the entire river.

I picked my way carefully and slowly across the 10foot-deep expanse of water toward an area where the shoreline forest looked a little taller and darker. I heard a thud and coasted in neutral to clear a snag,

probably an old, abandoned timber or stump, finally coming to within 100 feet of shore, where I anchored with 60 feet of chain in 10 feet of water.

Not as bold (or maybe smarter than) the editor, I jumped in my Zodiac and began my adventure. I found the entrance to the creek and was engulfed by the vegetation – and the intrigue. As I proceeded, I saw abandoned docks and decks and rotting cabins along the thick shoreline. After three or four miles, the tall overhanging trees thinned out, and I came to a large lake with several small islands surrounded by fields of rolling grass. Paradise.

But there was no one there – no boats, no people, no buildings, no signs of life. I sounded, and it was 10 feet everywhere – a perfect anchorage, except you couldn’t get into it. I putted around, made a few casts, and had a little trouble finding the creek again to get back. I slept aboard that night in the same spot at the mouth, with my ear peeled for Okeefenokees.

MYSTERY HARBOR/And th e winner is...

A lot transpired there in the last four decades The Mystery Harbor is Greenwich Harbor in Greenwich, Conn., and the photograph is looking generally north from Long Island Sound into Greenwich Harbor.

The prominent building on the point to the right of center is the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, where my step-brother had his wedding reception there some 20 years ago.

The two low buildings sitting on the side of the hill in the center of the photograph are office buildings in Greenwich Plaza, where Greenwich’s Metro North commuter railroad station is located. In the foreground, on the left side of the photograph, is the shoreline of the Belle Haven development. Here, young Martha Moxley was murdered in 1975, and Michael Skakel was convicted of her murder and jailed, but he was recently released for a new trial.

I grew up and went to elementary through high school in Greenwich, living there from the late 1960s

www.pointseast.com

through the early 1980s. My father moored his boat, and we did most of our boating, out of Greenwich Cove, which is a couple of miles east of Greenwich Harbor.

But we often went out of Greenwich Harbor on the town ferry to what we called “Island Beach” (Great Captain’s Island). When I was in high school, I would occasionally “park” near the Indian Harbor Yacht Club with my girlfriend.

My wife and I now live in Falmouth, Maine, and boat out of the Portland Yacht Club, but we still make it down to Greenwich occasionally to visit my father and step-mother. In fact, we were just there for Thanksgiving and caught a train into Manhattan from the railroad station at Greenwich Plaza. I love Points East; it’s an indispensable guide for New England boaters!

Perspectives Seven blocks of wood n the three years my elderly dad cared for my bedridden mom at home, he was pretty much house-bound. So, he thought, “I’ll make a model of Phyllis, the family boat…the boat we spent our honeymoon on over 50 years ago… the boat the three boys were raised on...the boat we learned a lot about life on.”

It didn’t matter that he hadn’t built an intricate model boat before. He just began with seven blocks of wood stacked up, and, like life, he worked his way through it. It gave him purpose at a time when his one care, my mom, was at the end of the line. While he shaped and hollowed out the hull, and built from scratch every piece you see here – down to the tiny red towels monogrammed with “Phyllis” – his memories of life on the real Phyllis floated back.

I remember my first time going down to his basement workshop and watching him, an 80-year-old, still focused on building something, and doing so with care.

“How are you going to make a model of a fully rigged sailboat from a pile of scap-pine boards, Dad?” He just winked at me.

“It’ll take forever, even if you figure out how to do it,” I said. He didn’t respond. Somehow, in the end, he had perfectly hand-fashioned every part: a miniature anchor, tiny clock and barometer, coal stove, winches and rigging, and a forward hatch.

“You went aboard through that hatch in August of

I

1950 as a newborn, wedged into the forepeak in a basket,” he said. “You may not remember. But I do.”

His attachment, and now mine, to Phyllis, are for reasons I don’t question. Dad had learned the ropes of life by then. Part of that, I guess, was not letting go of what is good and true, but, rather, celebrating those things by continuing to build something, and by doing so, rekindling and creating more memories.

These include this one for me: that of an elderly dad and his middle-aged son standing shoulder to shoulder in a basement workshop, each temporarily forgetting the knots of their lives, each drifting back in time, while they built something new. It was bit by bit, tiny piece by tiny piece, as the model took shape, that we shared who we really were.

For a time, and sometimes for all their time, fathers and sons hold back much from each other – perhaps out of fear, perhaps out of pride, perhaps out of cowardice or shame. But always there comes a point when the sands of time have almost drained from the glass, when there’s little chance left to share what really matters, and, like the lines of a well-drawn hull, what’s really true.

Photos by David Roper

As Dave’s father grew older, his focus narrowed on what, to him, truly mattered, and that was Phyllis, the family cruising boat.

PERSPECTIVE/Capt.

Mike Mar tel

In the shadows s the winter season closed in and Christmas approached, I would often stay at the shop well after closing time, sitting in the silence and enjoying the quiet peace at day’s end. I managed a tidy little nautical book shop in the north end of Newport, offering charts, nautical books, and cruising guides for sailors.

The girls had tastefully decorated the shop with festive Christmas decorations including a small, trimmed artificial tree with gaily-wrapped and ribbon-tied empty boxes beneath, and had strung frosty white miniature lights around the frames of the big front windows on the street. They gave the place a soft, oldfashioned Christmassy air, and I would shut off the main overhead lights at dusk and sit in my desk chair for a while after the shop was closed, watching the deep-blue of winter night descend behind the ancient rooftops of the clapboard colonial homes with their massive chimneys across the street.

The big windows faced westward, so after the sun set and the sky turned steel-blue, the bare branches of the trees would whip about in the strong, cold winter winds that blew across Newport harbor from the sea beyond.

Often the wind would carry the incense of a hardwood fire burning in one of those ancient hearths, and I would catch a whiff of it on the frosty air, and it would make me wish that I could curl up on the warm bricks in front of it, wherever it might be, listening to the crackle of dry oak and basking in the flickering light from the flames and, perhaps, a tallow candle or a Betty lamp.

It was a festive, sad and quiet time all at once for me.

A

The shop’s display racks were stacked with colorful glossy guides to dreamlike destinations in the warm Caribbean, slices of paradise characterized by turquoise-blue waters, white coral sand, green coconut palms, and trade-wind breezes, but all so far away, so unreachable from this land of northern winter cold at the bottom of the year.

They constantly reminded me of where I was, rather than where I would rather be, lounging on a beach on my insular Tahiti, subject of my yearning and soulhungry longing, the fruit within sight on the display rack but, in reality, well beyond reach.

The quietude was a balm for my soul and my spirits; I might daydream for a time, focused on the cover photography of one of those richly illustrated guides. I had the job of being the shop’s keeper, though not its owner.

I had finally found a place of comfort and security, or so it seemed, but it was not in fact secure, and in the deepest regions of my heart I knew that it would never work.

There was no money in it, so little in fact that soon my world would be unsustainable. It was a false comfort, for although it felt neat to be a shopkeeper with a key, a purveyor of charts and books – all things that I loved very much – with a quiet dignity and distinguished saltiness to it, it did not protect me, not for long; it could not last. Nor did it tax or challenge me.

Sooner or later I must plunge back into the maelstrom of the industrial world where I had gathered my experience and made my name, and try to make a decent living at it.

But for now, for a few brief months, I was in another

whipped their branches about.

After closing the shop on such evenings, I would wrap my scarf around my neck, don my wool pea coat, and venture down to the quiet and empty waterfront to see the lights, breathe the fresh, salty air, and contemplate the strange juxtaposition of past and present that characterizes Christmas each year in a quirky centuriesold town full of anachronisms. The waterfront was especially empty on these frequently cold and windy nights; I liked it best that way.

Occasionally a bundled-up, shadowy phantom scuttled from one corner to a doorway, or down the street, mutely into the darkness, paying no notice and no heed to anyone or anything about; heads lowered, hands in pockets, they scurried from shelter to shelter. As I walked, my footfalls on the brittle bricks clicked out sharp and keen and reverberated off brick and clapboard alley walls. It was my town, at such times; cold, but that was the price of ownership.

It was for me a time of contemplation and introspection: I could be alone with my thoughts under the moonless sky. On the wharf, I stood in the wind and stared out blankly onto the dark, unseen harbor, choppy and sloppy in the windy night; I could hear it better than I could see it, but for a few twinkling lights standing out from the far shore. At such times, I remembered people who had passed on, and I could quite nearly hear their voices in the wind. At such times, past

and present merged in a wave of melancholy sweetness, the memories of good things and times keeping my heart from weighing heavy.

But then I felt, all the more keenly, the wish that I could board a fine, big yacht, heading south out of these winter seas of my soul, bound for the bright, warm islands of palm fronds rustling in the trade winds, where the dark hues characteristic of life in these latitudes can only be found in the deepest of shadows.

I would gladly hand, reef, and steer the ship, eager to abandon these melancholy shores of living memories and disappointments, to start a new life, make a new beginning, clear my mind of all things sad and haunting – to leave my ghosts behind me, shadows of woe unable to follow me across the cleansing, purging waters of the Gulf Stream.

But now, nothing stirred; no ship was leaving with the morning tide with a course set for the islands in the south. Small ice crystals began to fall from an overcast sky. I turned my steps homeward, desperately mindful of time’s ticking clock.

In the fall, cruising boats head down our river to the ocean, bound for the tropics, and two of these stopped at our marina.

knew we were closed, but he was almost out. I told him I’d unlock the pump and watch for him. Where was he?

Off Wood Island, he said. He’d be in the Saco River within an hour. I figured it must be a cabin cruiser on its way south, probably with twin V8s, a couple-hundred-gallon tank, and a huge appetite for gasoline. It turned out that was not the case at all.

There was no traffic on the river. All the boats at our docks and moorings had been hauled. Dry leaves had begun to pile up against the office door. It was the end of the season. Soon I saw a tiny sailboat motoring up around the bend. I watched as the diminutive Hunter 19 eased around C “15” can and glided up to our fuel dock. I took both his bow and stern lines and made fast to the dock cleats.

The cheery captain thanked me for waiting and for opening the pump. The steel tank for his outboard motor held just six gallons plus a pint of oil. I marveled at his small boat and rather slapdash rig. “Where’re you headed?” I asked.

“Florida,” he eagerly answered. Ah-ha, I murmured.

I knew all about that because he was not the only one headed south.

We had another boat at the fuel dock. This one was larger and more seaworthy, a 30-foot Islander. Her young owner had been a liveaboard all summer, and now he and his friends were busily fitting out for their trip south to the Caribbean. They’d been drilling, sawing and hammering for days.

Each afternoon, they’d show up in his Jeep with another load of gear to be hurried aboard and stashed everywhere. The two boats tied to our fuel dock could not have been more different. One seemed to be held together with nothing more then bailing wire and innocence; the other was being outfitted to deal with every kind of rough weather, delay or hazard.

The solo sailor needed a place to hang out for a few days and replenish his meager supplies. It took only a quick introduction for the two captains to meet and bond and begin visiting back and forth across the fuel dock.

By now, I had locked up the gas pump and the office

and walked up the hill to home. Over the next few days, I watched their comings and goings. The Hunter captain rode his bicycle uptown. The Islander owner waited anxiously each day for UPS to deliver a new part. I decided that some situations have a way of working themselves out, and that maybe it was providence or good karma that drew these two southbound sailors together at our place.

Who knows? Maybe the bigger boat would watch out for the smaller one as they both scurried south along the New England coast, running away from the encroaching cold and wind and November rain. At least I hoped that’s what would happen. Within a few days, they were both gone on a favorable morning tide.

Our slight contribution to furthering their dreams had been a few nights’ free dockage. It seemed like the least we could do. When I awoke and saw the fuel dock was vacant, I silently wished them both fair winds and following seas.

News A Maine-to-Nova Scotia ferry reboot in May? which is scheduled to happen over seven years. The province is contributing $10.5 million for startup costs and $1.5 million a year for marketing efforts.

Other agreements still have to be reached for the service to start next year, including border services for both ports, upgrades to the Yarmouth ferry terminal, berthing agreements with the two port authorities, and obtaining licenses and permits for a ferry service. All of those are on track, said director of the Nova Scotia

FERRY, continued from Page 20 Samson said a key change for the province is being able to look at the ferry service’s books. “This will increase accountability to Nova Scotians, something that I and our government place a lot of importance on,” Samson said. There are also clearer details on senior managers deferring part of their salaries if the ferry service loses money in a given year. The original letter of offer said four people could see half their pay deferred.

STM Quest plans service from May 1 to Nov. 2, 2014. The boat, called Nova Star, would leave Yarmouth at 9 a.m., and arrive in Portland at 5 p.m., local time. She would leave Portland at 8 p.m., and get to Yarmouth at 7 a.m., local time. The Yarmouth economy was hit hard with the end of the previous ferry service, which stopped running after the previous government ended subsidies close to four years ago.

Adventures-at-sea summer camps for teens on Rhody’s Tall Ship Perry This coming July and August, teens between the ages of 13 and 18 will be able to spend a week aboard the 200foot Tall Ship SSV Oliver Hazard Perry for “an ocean of education and adventure.”

We wish a happy second milestone to the bold Piscataqua, the N.H. gundalow Since the launching of Piscataqua on Dec. 11, 2011, she has hosted over 150 field trips with more than 3,200 students out of her berth in Portsmouth, N.H., and conducted more than 400 public sails with over 9,100 passengers. A gundalow is a shallow-drafted cargo barge that once was common, delivering goods to villages at the headwaters of Gulf of Maine’s rivers and estuaries.

In 2002, the Gundalow Company was formed as a nonprofit organization to acquire ownership of the gundalow Captain Edward H. Adams. In 2011, Paul Rollins was hired by the Gundalow Company to build the Piscataqua on the grounds of Strawbery Banke.

During the last two seasons, Piscataqua has hosted over 150 field trips with more than 3,200 students, and conducted more than 400 public sails with over 9,100 passengers.

The Piscataqua River gundalow began as a simple undecked barge, first appearing in the mid 1600s, poled or rowed with long sweeps (oars). From the 1700s into the 1900s gundalows evolved into fully decked flat-bottomed cargo carriers with a cabin and lateen sail that

could be lowered to “shoot” under bridges. The sail was an “auxiliary engine” since gundalows depended on the tides to take them upriver and downriver on the rising and falling tides.

A Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, Md., HC-130 Hercules crew immediately took flight to locate the Easy Go. The command center also contacted vessels in the area. Crews from the 652-foot m/v Bishu Highway and the 751-foot m/v Athina L were able to assist. The sole sailor aboard reported he was uninjured, but that the boat had lost its mainsail, and he was unable to make way. The Bishu Highway was unable to rescue the sailor, but was able to stay on scene until the Athina L could assist. Weather on scene was 15- to 20-foot seas with 40-knot winds.

ting. To this end we had no generator, no outboardpowered dinghy, no autopilot, and limited electronics and other “toys.” We figured that the cost of spending a winter in Maine would go a long way toward reducing the expense of the trip: no heating bills, no winterizing the boat and storing her, and no paying for gasoline, since our car would spend the winter with friends.

We changed all filters on the boat engine, performed a comprehensive maintenance on the engine and systems, collected the spares that seemed most appropriate, and made whatever adjustments to the living spaces we might need in an extended cruise. We tried to keep in mind that the route we would be taking would be the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, where we should be able to find anything we needed along the way and at about the same prices that we would find at home.

In addition to these resources, we occasionally went onto some useful websites, in particular “Active Captain” and “Cruisers Net.” We did not use these sites as much as we thought we would, but rather used them as a cross-reference from time to time. They show many alerts, but some are outdated, and you still have to go through these areas anyway.

While we were in New England, we set a route on the GPS every evening for our next day’s run. Once we got into the Intracoastal Waterway, we used the magenta line on both charts and GPS. The magenta line 30 Points East Midwinter 2014

we used the Intracoastal and did not go outside or at night, with the exception of New Jersey.

Our total fuel consumption was just about 830 gallons of diesel. This works out to around 3.4 gallons per hour. The cost of fuel varied widely, the lowest being $3.80 in Coinjock, N.C. Our total fuel cost for the trip down was $3,300. We saw fuel prices as high as $5.25, but passed on these. We could have gotten down on one middle-of-trip refueling, but we decided that we didn’t want to run the tanks too low, particularly when rough weather was stirring the contents of our tanks. Having a big range in fuel allowed us to shop around to some degree.

Dockage and pump-out Although we prefer to anchor out at night, and did so most of the time, we did spend about one third of the nights at a dock of some sort. The cost of transient

docking varies a lot – as high as $2.50 per foot per night, down to the undisputed champ at Darien, Ga., where the dockage was free and so was water and power for 48 hours. The dockmaster there told us that if we mentioned that we had engine trouble, we could stay indefinitely.

One of the reasons to come into a marina for a night or two is to get out into a new town and see what it has to offer. Most marinas are right in the best part of town, and you can have a lot of fun poking around. Another reason to go to a marina is to pump out the holding tank. Our tank is only 24 gallons, so we had a lot of pump-outs. The rates for this service varied as well, and one could often go online to see where the pump-outs were and what their respective costs. Our costs on this ranged from free to over $16. The most usual cost was $5; we saw some for $30.

The portable broadband device was a Verizon Jet Pack – a router for a wireless Internet connection – which provided high-quality service at virtually every point on the trip.

There were perhaps two nights when we were not able to get a signal. For telephone, we used cell phones while we were moving and Verizon Home Phone Connect whenever we were connected to shore power.

We had this set up so that the Home Phone Connect would take messages while we were under way, and we could retrieve these when we got onto shore power, but while we were on shore power, our phone itself would take the messages directly. The additional advantage to this is that we had our home number with us always, and we didn’t have to get anyone to remember which number to call.

Watch system The actual daily business of the editor@pointseast.com

trip was pretty straightforward: We kept two-hour watches at the helm, two-hour watches as navigator, and two hours off (this for a crew of three). This pattern was repeated for as long as needed for the hours that we ran each day. We ran primarily daylight hours, which diminished as we progressed since it was fall and the days began getting shorter.

Invariably, I would take the first helm watch of the day since it would either entail getting off the anchor or getting off the dock. If conditions were dodgy, I might run past my two hours. I would also take the last leg of each day so that I could place the boat at anchor or dock such that we would have a reasonable expectation of a good night’s sleep (not always possible).

Each day had its challenges, which ranged from pot buoys (lobster) in New England to pot buoys (crab) in the rest of the states; bridges, locks, thin water, confusing or conflicting navigational aids; weather, and so on. We were never bored.

Where the time goes Many things affect the length of the trip in time. Currents and tiderips can slow your advancement to a few knots. A sizable amount of time is spent waiting for bridges or locks to open. Head seas can also slow your whole day down as well as wear you out physically.

The ICW runs out into some exposed bays and sounds, and we experienced conditions that were at the limit of what I would continue going in, if given the choice. There were a number of days stormbound, when weather was not conducive to moving, when even getting off the anchor would be a test of seamanship.

Sadly, no alligators were seen, not even in the Alligator River itself. Schools of fish, interesting birds, jellyfish – every day had a new cast to brighten our way and to have us look online or in a book to identify them.

Having roller-furling gear was a fine thing over the years, but I am now convinced that if there is going to be just one headsail on it, for efficiency and pleasure, it should be a working jib.

and neither are their skippers.

Many sailboat owners these days don’t even bother to sail to windward, especially not when the wind is stiff. Instead, many just use their engines to power into it. This is unfortunate because sailing to windward in a fresh breeze is one of the greatest pleasures our sailboats can offer us. To enjoy this, though, we need to have a boat that can do it well.

Some of the factors that can make a boat less weatherly are beyond our ability to modify. Some boats may have inadequate lateral resistance from a broad flat bottom and a too-small keel. Another common handi-

tant. A working jib will have a leading edge the full length of the forestay. The partially rolled up genoa will have perhaps half this. The combination of distorted shape and short leading edge make the reefed genoa a poor windward sail.

My own boat, Teal, is a Tripp Lentsch 29, a very weatherly Bill Tripp design that is now 50 years old.

When I bought Teal five years ago, I felt very lucky that she came with a new roller-furler and a beautiful new genoa. My experience with this rig, however, is what led me to the conclusion I am offering here.

I love the roller-furling feature, and the big genoa was a joy in those 10-knot winds that we all love, but as the wind increased, the genoa became overpowering and unwieldy. On a reach, I could roll it up partway and try to ignore the ugly shape it became, but going to windward, I sadly missed having a way to set a proper working jib.

Teal did have an older working jib that was still in good condition, but it was set up with hanks for a forestay, not for roller-furling. Three years ago, frustrated with the genoa, I took that old working jib to Doug Pope, of Pope Sails & Rigging in Rockland, Maine, my local sailmaker, and asked him to replace With the reduction of sail area the working jib provides, Teal is not overpowered, her helm is light, tacking the jib is a joy, and visibility forward improves markedly.

That spring, I set the working jib on my furler and left the genoa home. The working jib has stayed on the furler, and the genoa has stayed in my attic ever since.

Of course, as with just about every decision we make, there is a trade-off. There are occasions when I miss that beautiful genoa, but, overall, I much prefer the working jib.

To make an objective analysis of the trade-offs involved, let’s review the simple physics. There are many variations, but for rough numbers (and this is very

close to the case on Teal), we can take the sail area of the roller-furling genoa as roughly 130 percent of the mainsail area, and the working jib as 75 percent that of the main. This means that the total sail area with the working jib is about three-quarters of the total sail area with the genoa. It is fair to assume, as long as the boat is not heeled too much by the greater sail area, that the amount of power available to drive the boat is proportional to the sail area.

In very light winds, when boat speeds are in the oneto three-knot range (i.e., less than half the hull speed),

boat speed will be almost proportional to the power generated by the sails. So if I could be going at two and a half knots with my genoa, with my working jib I will be going at about two knots.

As soon as there is a little more wind, however, increases in boat speed are by no means directly proportional to the power generated by the sails. As we get up to about two-thirds of hull speed, the proportion of increase in speed to increase in power falls well under 50 percent, and gets less and less as hull speed is approached. Moreover, excessive heeling has a strong negative effect on performance, especially to windward.

Because of this radically decreasing utility of moderate increases in power as boat speed increases – even in moderate winds when the genoa can still be carried reasonably comfortably – the loss in boat speed with the working jib becomes marginal. As the wind increases further and the genoa begins to overpower the boat, the diminishing returns will turn negative.

Even on a reach, the boat will sail faster on a more even keel, and to windward the working jib becomes the clear winner. This is true even before it becomes necessary to reef the genoa. After that point, especially going to windward, there is simply no comparison.

Overall, I am able to get where I am going faster with my working jib on my furler than with the genoa. Speed is not the only thing, editor@pointseast.com

Stanley Paris is racing the ghost of

Dodge Morgan In 1986, Dodge Morgan became the first American to sail nonstop around the world. When he returned to the Bermuda port from which he’d left 150 days earlier, he and his Ted Hood-designed cruiser, American Promise, had nearly halved the previous westabout record.

Though French sailors in the Vendée Globe shattered this record only a few years later, Morgan’s original accomplishment – which was a personal challenge, and not part of an organized race – still resonates. After reading Morgan’s “The Voyage of American Promise,” and watching “Around Alone,” an hour-long film PARIS, continued on Page 48 44 Points East Midwinter 2014

Paris and Kiwi Spirit abandon; Dodge Morgan’s record stands Editors’ Note: On Jan. 11, right before this issue of Points East went to press, we got the surprising news that Stanley Paris, who was trying to become the world’s oldest nonstop solo circumnavigator, had abandoned his quest. While our first thought was to pull the story below and run something else, with a brief summary of his decision to quit, we couldn’t shake the feeling that somehow things just weren’t adding up.

Paris’ blog posts, which he filed every few days, were breezy and optimistic. Up until the point he actually pulled the plug, approximately 1,700 miles west of Cape Town, it seemed as though the greatest challenge he faced was a lack of wind. His mission was well-funded, and his boat fast and new. The contrast between what should have been and isn’t, we decided, is too intriguing to dismiss offhandedly as just another ABANDON, continued on Page 47 editor@pointseast.com

ABANDON, continued from Page 44 failed circumnavigation. For more on Paris’ decision to abandon, and the reasons cited, see below.

By Bob Muggleston For Points East We forget just how hard it is. It isn’t enough to circumnavigate nonstop and solo anymore, and survive. Lots of people have already done that. In 2014, you have to somehow tweak the equation, maybe go the “wrong way,” or be the youngest, or, in the case of Stanley Paris, shoot for two quite noble milestones – as both the oldest and “greenest.”

When Stanley Paris left St. Augustine, Fla., bound for his starting line in Bermuda, there were so many feel-good stories surrounding his mission that it was hard to focus on just one. There was his age, of course, and he was going to do it with hot showers, hot meals and other civilized amenities. And all of these luxuries would be generated with green power aboard a hard-charging 63-footer named Kiwi Spirit that Paris himself helped design.

Also, there was the Dodge Morgan factor. Former Points East columnist Morgan was the one who inspired Paris, and Paris took it upon himself (in the spirit of a gentlemanly wager) to best Morgan’s 150-day record, set in 1986.

For many people, myself included, that was the hook.

For over a month, Paris’ focus seemed primarily on that of matching, or exceeding, Morgan’s daily mileage. So

many of the blog posts were concerned with the relative lack of wind compared to what Morgan experienced. Stuff broke, but that was to be expected. One of the first things he mentioned was a piece of hardware that let go on the end of the boom, which resulted in Paris getting hit in the back with a flying block. He also mentioned a fall, in which he might have broken some ribs. A game-ender for some people, Paris seemed to downplay it, instead focusing on energy management.

And then this blog heading, on Jan. 11: “Circumnavigation Abandoned – Heading to Cape Town.”

In the post, he cites both the president of Farr Yacht Design (the designers of Kiwi Spirit) and Cabot Lyman, the owner of Lyman Morse, who built the boat. Both men agreed that Paris should abandon his quest, based on the failure of “many systems” aboard Kiwi Spirit. Things mentioned by name were the boom end and the reefing system (Paris had sent them both pictures), but this raises a bigger question: What else broke? Reefing systems and boom ends are things you might expect to jury rig. What are we not being told?

It’s a bit disheartening how this has all gone down. We all really wanted him to succeed. But just wanting something badly in this life is never enough, especially when what you want involves the sea. The sea is still a great leveler. Given this universal truth, today, 28 years later, Dodge Morgan’s accomplishment seems that much sweeter.

Celebrate the 20th Anniversary Event!

PARIS, continued from Page 44 about Morgan’s trip, Dr. Stanley Paris, a New Zealander living in St. Augustine, Florida, realized he’d found his calling: He, too, would circumnavigate alone and nonstop, following Morgan’s “footsteps� whenever possible.

Aboard his high-tech 63-footer, Kiwi Spirit – designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by LymanMorse Boatbuilding in Thomaston, Maine – the 76-year-old Paris is trying to “beat� Dodge Morgan around the globe, and, in doing so, become the oldest sailor to ever complete a nonstop solo navigation.

Twenty-eight years have passed since Morgan set his record, and, in that time, much has changed in the world of technology. Besides using a wide variety of devices to create green energy (to power myriad creature comforts aboard), Paris is taking advantage of the ability to speak, relatively easily, with the rest of the world while under way. Dodge Morgan never had a blog.

Stanley Paris does (http://stanleyparis.com/?cat=2).

The following excerpts, shortened and lightly edited for the sake of space and clarity, are from Stanley Paris’ blog.

GMT and UTC), or 9:15 a.m. back home in St. Augustine, I crossed the line 0.8 nm due east of St. David’s Lighthouse to begin my challenge on the 150-day, sixhour record, as well as to become the oldest and the first-ever green [nonstop solo circumnavigator].

Bermuda Radio tracked the start, and the “black box� issued by the World Sailing Speed Record Council was also monitoring. In addition, I forced an update on my Yellowbrick [tracking device], which can be seen on my website [www.stanleyparis.com]. Yes, I was a little emotional, but it soon passed, and I got on with changing my course to bear away from a group of coral reefs that were fast approaching.

The start was as Dodge Morgan, the record holder, set it, one mile from the lighthouse. However, I noted only this morning that, on his return, he was three miles offshore when he re-crossed the line to finish. I shall follow suit, especially should I come in at night.

I see that the winds for the next few days will be light, and so I expect to fall behind Dodge Morgan’s average of 171.84 miles a day. Tomorrow, I will get out a spinnaker and see if I can go faster. But, for now, I am enjoying the moment. Four years of planning and execution . . . it’s game on.

southwest at between 17 and 23 knots. Seas are heavy.

I reduced the sails from big genoa to jib and took the first of three possible reefs in the main. Did not lose any speed, but boat sailed more upright and much more comfortable, proving I had been overpowered.

From noon yesterday to noon today, I have covered 252 miles – a record for the trip thus far. Dodge’s best was 225 on the entire voyage. After a slow start I am closing on him.

Talking of power, I now have the batteries at 93.5 percent charge, and with winds good for at least the next 24 hours, I can start to do some things with the power that I have been putting on hold. This includes: making water with the osmosis watermaker and filling the tanks; turning on the hot-water heater; washing the dishes in hot, soapy water; changing and washing clothes; washing myself in the shower; baking muffins, making bread and having pancakes with maple syrup; rejoicing: Life is good.

Dec. 18 – Day 10 summary. I got off to a slow start with a weak weather system gaining only 105, 104 and 122 miles on the first three days, whereas Dodge had recorded 175, 175 and 184. He was clearly ahead. But, in the last three days, I have recorded 212, 217 and 236 miles, whereas Dodge did 190, 173, and 123. Plotting our respective positions on the chart, I am a little to the north of him and 180 miles east, thus a day

ahead given he averaged 171.8 miles a day.

Boat and crew holding up well in this close reach (into the wind). Waves 10 to 15 feet, sustained winds of 28 to 32 knots, and gusts to 35. It’s a rough ride. No signs of mutiny as of yet, but we are still in the early days. Any such signs, and they will wish they were on the Bounty with Captain Bligh!

Dec 26 – Accidental jibe. I was below and up forward when I suddenly became aware that the wind was picking up and we were changing course. As I started back to the cockpit to get to the controls and helm, I realized a squall had hit with intense winds. The boat heeled over to at least 45 degrees, instead of its usual 20 degrees. By this time, I was amidship in the galley and struggling with the boat’s speed and angle.

Getting to the cockpit, I saw the wind in the squall had hit 35 knots, the rain was pelting down, and the autopilot was beeping, indicating it had lost control.

As I got to the helm to take over, the boat jibed. I was too late.

The boat spun onto a new course. The wind backed the main and the boom came crashing over. As it did so, the strap that holds the sheets that control the main sail gave way. The detached block became a missile and struck me on my right, lower back with such force that my knees buckled. The boom now swung wildly and with great force, slamming up against the

shrouds. I regained control of the helm and steered a calmer course while plotting what to do next.

Over the next two hours, I managed, via the preventer at the end of the boom, to bring the boom back, reattach the sheets, and then get back on course. The only other collateral damage is that one of the battens broke when it hit the shrouds and slid out of its pocket into the sea.

The above is the reason why I have not yet slept in my cot berth belowdecks. Because of the frequency of squalls, as many as a dozen a day in this inter-tropical convergence zone off the north coast of Brazil, I have chosen instead to sleep in the cockpit, just six feet from the helm.

Dec. 31 – If you have been following my track on Yellowbrick, you will see that I have rounded Brazil instead of going towards South Africa. I am going due south and, soon, even a little west, yet my destination is to the east . . . so what gives? Well, I am being routed around a large South Atlantic high-pressure zone in which there is little to no wind. Dodge Morgan thus far had better wind, both in the Caribbean and now the South Atlantic, and was able to run a more direct course to his target. So Dodge once again had the advantage, but we have only just begun with 4,500 miles down and some 22,000 miles to go.

Boston has fair-weather New Year’s Day race

By Norman Martin For Points East Sailboat racing on New Year’s Day is a Boston Harbor tradition for a handful of hardy souls who brave the elements in order to “kick off” the new racing season. The Jack Roberts Memorial Race, which is held on first day of every year, and organized by the Constitution Yacht Club, has been run annually since the 1980s. Winter-time racing in New England is always a roll of the dice, but this year’s edition featured blue skies, 10 knots of breeze, and temperatures that hovered right around the freezing mark.

A total of eight boats registered, and seven finished (one boat didn’t make it to the start because of equipment failure). Wade Edwards, director of Boston Sailing Center (BSC), won with his J/24, Isis. He beat three other J/24s from BSC, and a handful of boats from Constitution Yacht Club and Wessagusett Yacht Club, including Jonathan Green’s Beneteau 351, Jeroboam, Allan Maclean’s Frers 38, Eagle, and Howie Speicher’s Catalina 27, Pegasus. Sailors will recognize Jonathan Green from last year’s OSTAR, which he won.

Jan. 31-Feb. 2 Now in its 21st year, the Providence Boat Show, in Providence, R.I., was purchased by the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association (RIMTA) this past fall, and show organizers have brought a fresh perspective and new ideas to this three-day event. This year’s show will include a stronger sailing component, expanded seminar offerings, and a mix of special events and exhibitors that reflects the boating diversity found in Ocean State waters.

New this year is a special H20 Zone that will showcase a fleet of small watercraft for all levels, along with 52 Points East Midwinter 2014

experts and accompanying video. A joint effort of Zim Sailing and community-sailing organizations Sail Newport and the Community Boating Center of Providence, this zone is the main hub for learning about the different ways you can get out on the water – in whatever way suits your skill-level or style. The fleet will range from a simple Blue Dragon Pram to the otherworldly Moth, the single-handed hydrofoil considered the fastest dinghy on the planet.

The Hunt 25 Sport’s rough-water-bred hull has essentially the same lines as other boats in the Harrier series. The wraparound seating and cockpit entertainment system equate to surprising comfort.

The Hunt Harrier 25 Sport is a no-frills seaboat Hunt Yachts, in Portsmouth, R.I., has introduced the Hunt Harrier 25 Sport, designed, they say, “for maximum performance and fun and minimum maintenance.” “We strategically designed the Hunt Harrier 25 Sport to provide an exceptional quality, no-frills value,” said Hunt president Peter VanLancker, delivering what all boaters need for a day on the water, and nothing they don’t.”

The Hunt 25 Sport’s rough-water-bred hull has essentially the same lines as other boats in the Harrier series, the builder says. “In the open ocean, it will leave the average 35-footer in its wake, in comfort and safety, opening up cruising horizons while extending the boating season.” All-composite construction and thoughtful engineering, Hunt says, create a high-integrity hull and deck

structure of great strength at moderate weight. Volvo sterndrive power, from 320 to 430 horsepower, is available.

Hunt feels that the 25 Sport will be a versatile boat, applicable to use as a tender, sportfisherman, chase boat, ski and wakeboarding boat, day cruiser, and dive-support platform. And its cuddy cabin has a berth and head, making overnighters eminently possible. Wraparound cockpit seating blends with a 1960s Porsche 911-inspired windshield and upholstered dash, on which a stereo and Garmin chartplotter are standard. A cockpit entertainment system includes an entertainment console with sink, refrigerator/freezer and trash can.

Captain John Martino, founder of the Annapolis School of Seamanship, has coordinated the Navigation & Seamanship series in conjunction with Rhode Island outfits Confident Captain, Safe/Sea, and Captain Frank “Skip” Litterer of Boatwise Marine Training.

Among the topics covered will be cruise planning along the Rhode Island coast, the basics of weather, docking and maneuvering techniques, line handling, and a session on iNavigation, where you will learn how to mix traditional navigation skills with the latest apps for tablets and phones.

Organized by Capt. Jack Sprengel, of East Coast Charters, the sportfishing seminars are for “hardcore anglers and newbies alike,” says Sprengel, covering species that range from fish you can catch from the shore in Rhode Island to those caught out past the continental shelf. This year’s fishing series includes an emphasis on sea-to-table, with leading chefs such as executive chef John Kolesar of Ocean House in Watch Hill and Phyllis Affra of Blaze Restaurant in Providence; showgoers will learn how to handle, cut, and

prepare their catch, and the chefs will transform it into a delectable dish.

The Providence show is designed to be an event where boaters can broaden their horizons. Inshore racers lured by the mystique of round-the-world racing can learn about next year’s Volvo Ocean Race stopover in Newport, and even sign up as a volunteer. Sailors intrigued by surfing can take a spin on a SurfSet board, a total-body surf trainer designed to simulate the physical demands of surfing without the ocean.

Young mariners can learn about career and training opportunities in the industry and watch high schoolaged boatbuilders craft a canoe onsite.

And boaters who are considering Rhode Island as their new boating home can do their homework on marinas and winter storage options; the Ocean State has a no-sales-tax policy on boats that are delivered and registered in the state, as well as on boating services such as mooring and slip fees, winter storage, and refit and repair work.

Boatbuilders’ Show on Cape Cod “The best little boat show in the Northeast”

Feb. 7-9 The Eighth Annual Boatbuilders’ Show on Cape Cod returns in early February to the Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, Mass. Over the past seven years, almost 18,000 people have visited the show to see a large selection of unusual, custom and limited-production boats in both wood and fiberglass.

At this year’s show, boaters will discover more than 50 exhibitors and a large variety of custom-built sail and powerboats on display under one roof.

“This show is full of friendly competitors building attractive small craft and custom big boats,” says Tony Davis of Arey’s Pond Boatworks, a returning exhibitor.

“Potential customers can get a firsthand explanation of how the boats are built and what the details and differences are as they move from builder to builder. We have had prospective customers travel to the show from as far away as upstate New York, Maine and Connecticut.”

Boat lovers looking for the kind of craftsmanship and design found only on limited-production boats can board them and compare workmanship and features from a variety of builders. Much like the Maine Boatbuilders’ Show when it started years ago, the organizers of this show say, “this is an opportunity for smaller builders to show off their craft in a larger venue, some for the first time outside of their own shops.” Visitors interested in staying at the resort overnight can contact the hotel at 866-828-8259.

Maine Boatbuilders Show Gathering of the clan at Boatbuilders Show

March 14-16: Just before the vernal equinox arrives, so does the annual Maine Boatbuilders Show. It’s a rite of spring, a combined social and business event that this year takes place for the 27th time March 1416 at Portland Yacht Services. "It is more than a boat show,” said boatbuilder Dick Pulsifer after an early show. “It’s a gathering of builders and customers. You could spend time with colleagues or customers. We all learn something."

Portland Yacht cleans out it’s vast indoor shop -- a former locomotive foundry on Fore Street -- to make room for some 1,800 exhibitors and some 8,000 visitors who mosey around, ask questions, browse, schmooze with like-minded mariners, and perhaps even plunk down some money for an anchor, a dinghy, a diesel engine, a prop, or even a sail-away or trailer-away boat.

Phineas Sprague, Portland Yacht Services owner and show organizer, likes to call the three-day event “a meeting of the clan.” He says he enjoys walking around talking to knowledgeable people as much as anyone else at the show, and there is always something new to learn. “What’s new? It could be a variable-pitch feathering propeller.”

Exhibitors come from as far away as Seattle, Wash., and as nearby as the city itself. Some are one-person boatbuilding shops in the backyard; some are industrial giants selling marine products. Some are nonprofits such as the Compass Project, the Maine Island Trail Association, Island Institute, and American Sail Training Association. The organizers like to say that the Maine Boatbuilders Show is a gathering of the finest fiberglass and wooden custom boat builders on the East Coast -- sailboats, powerboats, canoes, kayaks and rowing boats, and the builders will be there to discuss and sell their work.

The show times for the 2014 Maine Boatbuilders Show are: Friday, March 14, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday March 15, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sunday March 16, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. FMI: www.portlandcompany.com/boatshow.

Edson’s multi-speed mechanical steering system for this yacht directs the helmsman’s touch of the wheel through a gearbox with an integral wheel clutch, and then to the quadrant through a chain and wire arrangement. The gearbox allows the helmsman to adjust the steering wheel sensitivity and power to the conditions at hand, and clutch out the wheels when the autopilot is in use. Edson’s system places super sensitive bearings throughout the arrangement, giving the helmsman “feel” in the wheel. FMI: www.edsonmarine.com.

Briefly Front Street Shipyard, in Belfast, Maine, reports that its crew “has been able to really flex our composite muscles on Slim, a 66-foot Gunboat that’s getting a new set of foils.”

The daggerboards are carbon skins over an internal carbon structure that adds strength and durability. Front Street has worked closely with Morelli & Melvin on the design of the new foils, which are built almost entirely of carbon pre-preg for an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The wet-bagging of the up/down system for the daggerboards was completed in November, and the daggerboards were pulled from their molds and fitted to the hull. Sea trials were conducted in December. In other news, Front Street was named Boatyard of the Year by American Boat Builders & Repairers Association.

GMT Composites, of Bristol, R.I., has crafted a lightweight rudder for the classic C&C 40 Zoomer, currently undergoing a significant refit. The original rudder came to GMT weighing 203 pounds due to a combination of the heavy stainless post, fiberglass laminate and internal supports. The new rudder, at 53 pounds, represents a 74 percent weight reduction.

Not only is it lighter, but it’s also thinner, the foil thickness reduced by over 20 percent to reduce drag. FMI: www.gmtcomposites.com.

Paul M. Hureau

Arthur J. Fournier, Jr.

73, Augusta, Maine

82, South Portland, Maine

The founder of Maritime Skiff passed away suddenly on Nov. 9. After leaving the Coast Guard, Paul joined Boston Whaler in Rockland, Mass., where he spent the next 18 years, eventually establishing the Commercial Products Division.

When Boston Whaler moved their facility to Florida in 1991, Paul stayed behind and established his own company, Maritime Skiff, with his wife and business partner, Bev Brown, designing and building small, fuel-efficient and stable center console skiffs. Working with North End Composites in Maine, Paul introduced the first Maritime Skiff in 1992, and developed over 20 different center-console, center-cabin, full-cabin and express-style boats over the subsequent 15 years.

In 2004 Maritime Skiff contracted with Kenway Corporation of Augusta to be their fiberglass hull and components provider. In 2007 Paul and Bev sold Maritime Skiff to Kenway. In 2011, Paul and Bev moved to Maine, where Paul provided consulting services for patrol-boat manufacturers and volunteered time with the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath.

Capt. Arthur J. Fournier – tugboat company and railroad owner, and former Portland Harbor Docking Pilot – passed away Nov. 16 after a brief illness. Born in Somerville, Mass., his “real” education began when he started working for Mr. Dean Boylan, Sr. of Boston Sand & Gravel in Boston, moving gravel barges. “It was better than four years at Harvard Business,” Arthur always said.

During the 1970s, Arthur operated Pier 50 in Charlestown, Mass., and was chief of the auxiliary police in Winthrop, Mass. In 1977, he purchased Eastern Maine Towage Co., in Belfast, Maine, which he operated for 13 years before selling, then repurchasing in 2005. Moving to Portland in 1989, he established Portland Tugboat & Ship Docking Co. and became the senior docking pilot there. Being a pilot in Portland Harbor was his ultimate job. Arthur always had “outside” projects, which included providing fireworks barges in the 1980s for Arthur Fielder’s Fourth of July fireworks show in Boston; turning around in its berth the USS Constitution, which was one of his proudest moments; helping bring the NYC 16 tugboat to Buzzards Bay, Mass., as an attraction for friend Howie Shaw’s Grandma’s restaurant.

Harry “Al” Lewis, Jr.

Louis Parascandolo

78, Wickford, R.I.

92, Johnston, R.I.

Al passed away on Dec. 2. Among his many accomplishments, Al was president of the Point Judith Bass and Bluefish Tournament, president of the Parents’ Association of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and commodore of the Wickford Yacht Club. He served for many years on the North Kingstown Harbor Management Committee, and was an avid sailor, skier and world traveler.

The well-known Newport wholesale fish dealer passed away at his home on Dec. 16.

Born in Johnston, he was a fish peddler in the Johnston-Cranston area until he entered the army during World War II, where he served as a medic. Upon his discharge from the military, he joined the family business – N. Parascandolo & Sons Wholesale Fish Dealers, in Newport, whose boats were familiar to all who plied these waters – as a co-owner and worker. He was active in the family business until a year before his death. A lifelong Yankee fan, Louis also enjoyed landscaping his property, ballroom dancing, and watching football. He was an usher at Our Lady of Grace Church.

Edwin Arthur Shuman III 82, Norfolk, Va.

The husband, father, patriot, naval aviator, sailor, sportsman, and well-found friend to many passed away on Dec 3. His death occurred in Annapolis, Md., due to complications after a fall on his boat on his way to a goose hunt.

Ned was a member of the New York Yacht Club, Annapolis Yacht Club, The Storm Trysail Club, the Cruising Club of America, and the Golden Eagles. He was a U.S. Naval Academy graduate (Class of 1954), served for 34 years, and was a prisoner of war in Vietnam for five years. He was awarded the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross with 2 Gold Stars, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart.

Nicholas (Capt. Nick) DePetrillo 75, Block Island, R.I.

Capt. Nick passed away December 3. He was the founder and former owner of Captain Nick’s, billed as “the premier nightclub on Block Island.” Ever since 1976, when Capt. Nick built the timber frame structure standing on 34 Ocean Ave. out of reclaimed material from the old Block Island Inn, the island has always had a place “where good music and good times come first.” Over the years, countless bands have graced the stage at

tunity. The first Flyer was a modern version of the Swan 65 production yacht Sayula II. The new Flyer was also 65 feet and ketch-rigged like Sayula, but had a longer waterline and more sail area.

At the height of this competition, Conny displayed the steely side of his character. He suffered a heart attack and swore his crew to secrecy, even though a nearby boat, Ceramco, had a cardiologist in her crew. “The critical period after a heart attack is always the first 2436 hours, and the nearest port (Fremantle, Australia) was 10 days away,” Conny recounted later. “Ceramco was already breathing down our necks. If they had known that I had a health problem, they would have pushed their boat even harder. When you die at sea, you are buried over the side. If that happened, the Ceramco boys might then have spotted me drifting by… and that, I was determined would be the only thing they would see or hear from Flyer on the matter.”

Conny van Rietschoten 87, Rotterdam, Holland

Holland’s most famous sailboat racer died Dec. 17. He won the Whitbread Round the World Race, not once but twice, in 1978 and 1982 with boats named Flyer. He and his crew so dominated the second race with their 76-foot Frers-designed maxi, that they captured both line and handicap honors. In doing so, the Dutchman and his crew also set two world records: the longest noon-to-noon run of 327 miles, and the fastest circumnavigation of 120 days.

Conny was introduced to sailing at the age of 3, joining his father, Jan Jacob, racing aboard the family’s 12-meter Copeja. At 45, retired from active business and looking for fresh challenges, he saw the first Whitbread Race as his oppor-

Confined to the cabin by the press of weather, Leigh keeps watch on the Mud Hole.

Hunkered Down t was a shivery, drizzly, fog-drenched morning in the Grand Manan Channel – one that our fleece, flannel, ski hat and rain gear didn’t address adequately.

Making for Great Wass Island in easterly weather, we hunched our shoulders and withdrew into our layers, conversation ebbing away to occasional cryptic exchanges.

There seemed little prospect of finding comfort in the day when, at length we skulked into the Mud Hole, and anchored in its teacup of a tide pool. Vapors rose from our breath while we furled sail. My fingers were cold, clumsy and shaking as I set the cabin heater and lantern alight. Holding my hands close to the lamp globe, as though I were praying, it offered an unsatisfying impression of warmth. The quiet was pregnant, but for the fluttering flag and squalling of a gull as it winged past.

Digging out a sweater from the pile of clothes at the foot of my bunk, it took a while to let go of the knot of

tension in my back. Dialing up CBC, Saint John, there was solace to the amiable chatter of a gardening show.

Soon a pot of soup was bubbling away on the stove, the heater was doing its duty, and the cabin slowly came to possess a rustic civility that seemed all the sweeter for the press of weather.

Though intending to rest our eyes for only a few minutes when we stretched out on our bunks after lunch, the better part of an hour passed in dreamy billows. Rising to find the sky as dull as dishwater, our attention was drawn to the sight of a sloop circling about to starboard, doing its nesting dance. A subject of no little interest, the mate got the binoculars out and watched from under the dodger, keeping up a running commentary, noting the ample size of their gear and chain rode and grasp of spacing. Leigh waved. They waved. We kept our distance, there being an inward turning to such days.

oir, “Here, There & Elsewhere,” I came to see that he, too, sometimes found it hard to make much of his adventures in the heat of them. It took me a few moments to become aware of Leigh’s whispered call, “David, David, come see this.”

Joining her under the dodger, we watched an eagle and osprey tumbling through the air in a dogfight of sorts. The agile osprey, its wingtip feathers spread out like fingers, cut tight arcs through the mists, his adversary spreading its great wings full width to put the brakes on and change direction. We could hear the wind in their wings, admired the osprey’s cheek and the eagles tireless pressing of the game, which, after a time, they broke off without blood being drawn.

The mists waxed and waned, and foggy dewdrops trembled in the rigging and plashed down on the cabin top in an irregular cadence. Wiping condensation from the window, I saw that a pair of guillemots were still keeping watch a few yards away; I imagined they were attracted to the lyrical plaint of a Loreena Mckennitt CD. There’s something about the aching woe of Celtic music that seemed a perfect soundtrack for the drama of such a day.

The mate pressed for a game of rummy, but couldn’t resist the unlikely possibilities of the discard pile. I won the game and a foot-rub prize, though I ended up giving her one, too, she being pitifully needy in her loss. Darkness came early. A wine cork popped. I couldn’t imagine any place more civil than the Leight’s snug little cabin.

As Thoreau wrote, “To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.”

last two years the volume was published.

Published annually every June until its demise, the “Register” contained an alphabetical list of the names, specifications and full particulars of the yachts of the United States and Canada, “as far as they are ascertainable,” the publisher added as qualification. The “Register” also contained reproductions, in color, of yacht club burgees and the private signals of over 1,500 yachtsmen; a list of yacht clubs with the names of their officers; an index of signal letters; a list of late names of yachts; and a list of yacht owners of the United States and Canada, with their addresses, clubs and vessels.

Lloyd’s packed a lot of information into those four pounds of paper and ink.

First release in late summer 2003, Hurricane Rum was introduced during the Hurricane season.

This was done in honor of the awesome storms that cause havoc from the Keys to Nantucket.

Our rum is slightly over-proofed to match the strength of nature's fury.

It is aged in bourbon casks imparting a wonderful golden color and distinctive whiskey flavor.

Hurricane Rum is truly small batch and difficult to find.

Ask for it wherever you buy spirits, and please enjoy with friends in moderation.
