Volume XIV Number 1 May, 1992
A Natural Phenomenon Returns To Lake Union Y o u can practically set your clock on the time the swallows return to Capistrano, the Sea Lions return to the fish ladder at the H i r a m Chittenden Locks and the wooden boats gather at South Lake U n i o n . By gar, Helga, dere go dem wooden boats. A y , it must be Yuly! A n d what a grand start July is going to have. The 16th edition of our Lake U n i o n Wooden Boat Festival opens its doors - make that docks promptly at 10 a.m. Friday, July 3, to begin its three-day run. A l r e a d y confirmed among the wooden craft that w i l l grace the show are a runabout made by Simon Fletcher w i t h Steinway piano finish, Keith and Sharon M a r k s ' troller Diligence, Bob A l l e n ' s Seabird y a w l Harriet Spicer, a copy of Charles Mower's 1898 design, and the beautifully-restored 1890 tug Challenger. A host of s m a l l craft w i l l be c o m i n g , i n c l u d i n g Bertram L e v y ' s O . K . Dinghies, a W h i t e h a l l b u i l t by students at Seattle Community
College's B o a t b u i l d i n g School and possibly even o u r o w n Pete C u l l e r designed tugboat. The 127' schooner Zodiac, b u i l t in 1924 as a racing yacht, and the 100' Adventuress, celebrating her 79th year, w i l l be at the Festival. W a s h i n g t o n State's T a l l S h i p , the brigantine Lady Washington, w i l l also come. T h i s vessel is a f u l l - s i z e replica of the o r i g i n a l , w h i c h , along w i t h Columbia Rediviva, were the first A m e r i c a n vessels to reach the N o r t h w e s t t w o h u n d r e d years ago. The Lady Washington w i l l make her entrance into Lake U n i o n , under s a i l , about 3:30 p . m . F r i d a y , July 3, and be moored and available for visitors about 5 p . m . In order the enable the Lady Washington to p r o v i d e m a r i t i m e heritage programs to the waterfront c o m m u n i t y of o u r state, an a d m i s s i o n fee is charged for tours ($3 for adults, $2 for seniors and students, $1 for c h i l d r e n 12 and under; S7 buys a one-visit pass for a f a m i l y of up to five members).

ESCARGOT Goes Cruising In September, 1990, Shavings brought you a report of Phil Thiel's "latest brainstorm" - a pedal-powered snail-class mini canal barge. Phil's brainstorm has now become Escargot, a charming lady of the sea who resides at CWB.
My lifelong fascination w i t h ships and water has a special focus on inland waterways, where land and water inter-relate, w i t h a specific reference to the French canals. W i t h a ruling depth of less than two meters and a speed limit of six kilometers per hour, the smaller canals there are ideally suited for low power, slow speed cruising. Thus 1 am possessed of a fantasy that involves b u i l d i n g (at some French canal-side location) a small pedal-powered, screw-propelled wooden boat for a subsequent summer of cruising in leisurely exploration and sketching in that fluvial environment. I propose this special combination of quiet aerobic human power with modest liveaboard facilities to purposely fill the gap between canoes or kayaks and motor-driven cabin cruisers. A n d personal visits to four French canals have confirmed the feasibility of this concept of a mini canal barge or "penichette." My fantasy has edged into partial reality with the design and construction in Seattle of Escargot - a prototype for this purpose. It has a simple, essentially flat-bottomed,
square-ended hull with dimensions of 17'6" x 6' and is built of exterior-grade p l y w o o d and soft wood framing. Accommodated under four-foot sitting headroom are two berths forward, with an access hatch over, followed by toilet and hanging space and then a "salon" w i t h table seating and food preparation counter. A f t of this is an open cockpit sheltered with a folding Bimini top. An outboard swing-up rudder is controlled by a tiller from either of the two sideby-side pedaling positions. Propulsion is provided by t w o swing-up "Seacycle" drive units in wells built into the hull and transom.
morning, after some trouble locating the entrance to the Sammamish, went upstream thereon to Blyth C o m m u n i t y Park for a photo session with photographer M a r t y Loken. After that it was upwards and onwards to the junction with Bear Creek, where we found a sand bar had narrowed the channel to about eight feet of swiftlyflowing water. F u l l power and some adroit poling brought us through and we resumed leisurely travel for about another three miles until we encountered low water and high weeds, w h i c h made further travel pointless.
W i t h construction completed, trials were conducted using The Center for Wooden Boats as a base. Lake Union's open expanse of water soon taught the first lesson: high freeboard plus shallow draft plus low power (1/5 HP per drive unit) equals poor control in any sort of breeze. Thus, a bracket for a small outboard motor was added; w i t h the 2 HP unit maneuvering became more predictable.
Turning about, we partially retraced our route and spent a quiet evening alongside the bulkhead of a friendly riverside resident. The next morning, we revisited some favorite stretches of the river and then reluctantly returned to Kenmore for a checkout at the marina and the return trip back d o w n Lake Washington into Lake U n i o n and back to the Center.
Next came a test for livability. The Sammamish River, our local equivalent of a French canal, connects the north ends of Lake Sammamish and Lake Washington and is accessible at Kenmore on Lake Washington, about 13 statute miles by water from C W B . We ran this distance under power in fair weather with a light w i n d . W i t h stops for refueling, lunch and weed checks, our net running time was 3.3 hours at about 4 miles per hour. We moored overnight at the Harbor Village M a r i n a in Kenmore and the next
From this experience we found that Escargot was quite maneuverable in the assumed canal conditions of calm water and that a 2 HP outboard motor made the transit of open water possible. As for l i v i n g arrangements, it appeared that a one-foot increase in the length of the boat w o u l d allow for the accommodations of two additional persons by p r o v i d i n g full-size berthing space in the salon. Storage for sleeping bags, clothing, food and cooking equipment seemed adequate, given prudence and good management. A bicycle was conveniently carried in a rack over the bow. As for operations, with one or t w o persons pedaling and one forward for a bow lookout, the others could cook, sleep, watch or dream, as they pleased. N o w all that remains is finding a French connection and adequate funding. - Phil Thiel
Phil Thiel is an architect (MIT), a naval architect (Webb), a recently retired professor (U.W.) and a visiting professor (now at the Art Institute of Sapporo, Japan). In his "spare" time he indulges his penchant for pedal-powered boats.

KUDOS
KOLUMN
At our annual Frostbite Regatta dinner, two new awards were inaugurated, one for the outstanding Sail N O W ! student and one for C W B ' s Outstanding Volunteer. The awards w i l l be presented annually. L y n n Barnes was the recipient of the 1991 Outstanding Student a w a r d . Her commitment to learn sailing not only included mastering basic sailing at C W B , but also assisting Horace Ingram in managing the livery, crewing on our larger vessels, crewing on Puget Sound races and taking the Power Squadron coastal navigation course and the Red Cross First A i d and C P R courses. Immediately upon receiving her award from us (well, she d i d stay for dessert), L y n n sold her car, television, stereo and computer and took off for San Diego heading for a crew spot on a yacht cruising the Caribbean or maybe the waters of Mexico or maybe . . . As she hove out of sight, she was sharpening the rigger's knife the C W B staff (Lynn had also been our afternoon receptionist) had given her as a farewell present. A h , the little ducklings leave the nest! ( A n d they return too. Look for Lynn's cruising memories in an upcoming issue of "Shavings.") As for the 1991 Outstanding Volunteer a w a r d , Horace Ingram livery manager, phone answerer, information giver and food taster - was the recipient. N o m i n a t i o n letters for several of our volunteers were received; portions of all were read at the awards ceremony. Choosing the
best volunteer was like choosing the best wine from the most outstanding vineyards. They're all great. But in this inaugural year of granting the a w a r d , it just felt right for Horace to be the first chosen "in recognition of the highest qualities of volunteerism: dedication, enthusiasm, leadership and commitment to the goals of The Center for Wooden Boats." Horace was characteristically modest in accepting the award - and he was right back at the livery the next day, doing the same thing he's been doing for close to a decade now: renting boats, generating good w i l l for C W B and teaching yet another bunch of would-be volunteers the proper way to tie the line to the rail.
Cruise, this year with the theme "Rumrunners!". A l l heads turned when the flotilla left C W B , headed for the traditional parade around Lake Union. Jim Hendry's Flapper - an authentic, certified, gen-u-wine original rumrunner once operated by legendary Canadian smuggler Johnny Schnarr - was the most visible member of the flotilla, not only because of her 44 ft. length but also because of the pinstriped-suited "gangsters" and brassy, flashy molls lounging on her decks.
Also nominated for the Outstanding Volunteer A w a r d were David Erskine, V e r n Velez and Helen Lang and Nona Sullivan (a matching set).
O u r newest brochure - "Hands-on H.I.S.T.O.R.Y" - received the A w a r d of Excellence from the Society for Technical Communication, Puget Sound Chapter, in the Promotional Material category. The award was shared by Chas D o w d for writing and designing the brochure, Melina Soree for the photos and Gene Peterson of Network Press for production and printing.
Flappers, shady characters and even an ersatz police lieutenant prowled the C W B docks the last Sunday in A p r i l as we held our annual Rites of Spring
Dapper Paul Ford was on the other end of the size spectrum in his Skimalong kayak replete with flower vase on the foredeck. The C W B fleet was out in force as skippers filled their passengers in on the Lake Union of 1927 when Blanchard and Tregoning were established as boat builders and two young man named Frank and Bob Prothero and their father were just getting their shop started. The fun continued with the judging of the chili cook-off. The judges were unanimous in their verdict: it was Number 8. Calling Number 8. Hey, Number 8 please identify yourself! Winner Becca Gaughan had stepped out for a quick sail but she returned in time to claim her prize. For the second year, Julie Hoverson turned up a winner in the costume judging, in a nautically-themed flapper bathing outfit she designed and made herself. A special award of merit went to Jim Hendry and the crew of the Flapper for their most authentic costumes. The

must compete in at least four of the races. The W Y R A races are run under the General Handicap system, a computerized handicapping program which was developed and is used extensively in N e w Zealand. The system has been gaining popularity in the Northwest as a tool for promoting more equitable racing. W Y R A has available a vessel data form to be used to create en even more accurate handicap for the boats in the wooden yacht racing series.

The Wooden Yacht Racing Association has opened its 1992 season with its biggest schedule ever - 10 events - and a new perpetual trophy, donated by WoodenBoat magazine, to be awarded for overall series winner. W Y R A w i l l continue to award its o w n series trophies for first, second and third places.
N e w regattas on this year's schedule include the Ancient Mariners Sailing Society's Spring Regatta, the Vancouver Wooden Boat Society's Spruce C u p and the Burrows Bay Regatta. W Y R A also has been asked to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Victoria Yacht C l u b and w i l l be including the '92 Swiftsure Classic and Associated Races in their series. The W Y R A race w i l l be an "Associated Race" to C l a l l a m Bay, a total distance of 76 nautical miles.
In addition to the support and encouragement of WoodenBoat magazine, W Y R A is sponsored by C W B , the Ancient Mariners Sailing Society, Olympia Wooden Boat Association, Wooden Boat Foundation, The Heritage C u p Committee and the Vancouver Wooden Boat Society. The W Y R A series is designed to stimulate friendly competition, increase racing skills and to enhance awareness and appreciation of wooden boats throughout the sailing community.
A " D A N " d y Idea
Three W Y R A events have been run already this spring - the Ancient Mariners Regatta off of Bainbridge Island, the South Sound Woodies Regatta at O l y m p i a and Bellingham's Heritage C u p . The Swiftsure (May 2325) Associated Race w i l l be followed by the Wooden Boat Foundation Classic Mariners Regatta M a y 30-31 at Port Townsend.
Dan, our 21' pilot gig is underway and y o u and your friends are invited to join the fun. Dan is powered by the most advanced technology in existence on this planet, the human body, and the synergism of its five-person crew Before less advanced technology took over, the Puget Sound pilots needed a fast boat to get out to arriving merchant ships. Generally, the first one there got the job of bringing there ships into port. Dan is built along the lines of these fast boats.
The remainder of the 1992 schedule: M a y 30-31, Burrows Bay Classic Regatta, Skyline Marine, Anacortes; July 3-5, C W B ' s Lake U n i o n Classic Regatta; August 30, Vancouver Wooden Boat Society Regatta at Vancouver, B.C.; September 5-7, Victoria Classic Boat Festival Regatta, Victoria, B.C., and October 10-11, Ancient Mariners Sailing Society Fall Regatta at Seattle.
R o w i n g as part of a team is a great w a y to get out on the water. Unlike other boats, everyone partakes in the duties - a n d we trade off regularly. O u r regular trips are to the A r b o r e t u m or the L o c k s (to, not through). W h e n we have sufficiently trained crew, w e ' l l go on outings to K i r k l a n d , Leschi, possibly Blake Island and elsewhere.
While all of the i n d i v i d u a l events are a part of the W Y R A series, they are separate and independent of each other. Each event must be entered by sending the appropriate entry form to the race organizers. To qualify for the W Y R A series standings and trophies, vessels
It's easy to p u l l an oar on Dan; most "out of shape" people can do it - even me. Big muscles are not required. Just as my motto says: "If you're w o r k i n g h a r d , y o u ' r e w o r k i n g too h a r d . "

Command Performance Jerry Stelmok builds, teaches, writes, sketches, voyages, eats, sleeps and dreams of the Maine G u i d e Canoe. A few years ago we lured h i m out here to teach how to build them. Those who have taken his classes here have become ardent members of the Jerry Stelmok fan club. H i s teaching method is relaxed and supportive and his sense of humor is wacko. H i s stories of life in DoverFoxcroft arc hilarious. I especially like to hear about the activities at Fred's jail, w h i c h seems to be the hub of social activity in his hometown. H i s letters are as funny. After his last workshop here, in A p r i l , 1991, Jerry suggested a grace period before his next Seattle visit, so we could have "a f u l l class without dragging passers-by off the streets . . . Plan on listing a course for A p r i l , 1993, and they'll be lined up like Bulgarian shoppers." Here is Jerry's recent most recent communique, with updated DoverFoxcroft news: Dear Dick, Y o u w o u l d n ' t believe how much damage a glacier can do to your house! It shaved the attic and second story clean off and now it's hard keeping the polar bears out. The good part is that every day it moves us just a little bit farther south. If we can last 40 or 50 years, w e ' l l end up with shore property, once it starts receding. The best time for me in 1993 w o u l d again be in m i d - A p r i l . Y o u can put me d o w n for sure for the b u i l d i n g course and I'll give the graduate course a little more thought. It might not be such a bad idea. Probably a combination of repair, recanvasing and paddle making w o u l d do just fine, p r o v i d i n g the canoes are not in terrible shape.
