WILLITS L A U N C H - A S P E C I A L RESTORATION PROJECT Earl and Floyd C. Willits have become national legends because of the exquisite canoes they built at their shop in Day Island, Tacoma, between 1919 and 1959. These were class canoes because of their superior design for Puget S o u n d waters, top quality materials, and meticulous workmanship. The 17' canoes were built of two layers of 5/32" western red cedar. The inner layer was a series of flat edge-to-edge frames, and the outer skin was longitudinal planking. These were fastened with more than 8, 000 copper clench nails. The long fore and aft decks were Honduras mahogany with ash king planks. There were Honduras mahogany gunwale caps, coaming and thwarts; Sitka spruce seats; and white oak keel and stems. It all weighed only 75 pounds, the same as canvas-over-wood canoes of the same length. All was joined with fine cabinet precision and varnished to mirror finish. We will never again see stock boats such as these. In 1928, the Willits brothers designed a motor launch for their own use. They used the same construction technique for this boat as they used
R E G A T T A REVIEW Our October 6 regatta featured gig racing, ground breaking for our C W B / C i v i t a n Waterway 4 park, sharing of good wood boats, good food, and good Seattle drizzle. There wasn't enough wind for a sailing race. The single-rower race was won by the 17' peapod Murre, designed and built by John Mikesell. Gerry Stensgaard was second in a 17' Adirondack guide boat of his own design, followed by Earl Doan in his 13' Pete Culler "Butternut" lapstrake canoe. There were three gigs at the regatta. Erica was lent to C W B for a month's practice by O A R S (Old Anacortes Rowing Society). Glide, Erica's twin sister, came down from Anacortes, Washington, and the High Society group brought their gig up from Shelton, Washington. All are 21', with four single banked oars and a coxswain. Erica and Glide were designed by committee at the Port Townsend T o w n Tavern, and planked by students at the School of Wooden Boat Building in Port Townsend. Erica was completed by students of an O A R S seminar, and Glide was finished off by C a r l Meinzinger of Anacortes.
for their canoes. This boat was donated to the Center by the Willits family. It is 20' long with a 5' beam. The boat is still in fairly good shape, but needs extensive refastening. The copper fastenings have begun to deteriorate, probably due to the unique blend of atmospheric chemicals sometimes referred to as "the Tacoma aroma. " A vintage motor is needed, together with upholstery, tightening up of the seat and cabin joinery, recanvassed deck and replacement of a few planks, and then varnish inside and out — lots of it. We aim to restore this special launch. When funds are raised, this lovely little craft will be finished in top-rate fashion, just as though Earl and Floyd were looking on. •
The Shelton gig was designed by C a r l Brownstein and was one of four built, under Carl's supervision, by Evergreen College students. Gig racing has got to be the new wave in rowing events. Lots of people participate and they don't have to be sons or daughters of King Kong to be successful. In the crew of the winning "mixed oars" crew was Tena Doan, who "never pulled an oar before. " The winner of the men's crew race was Shelton High Society, with David Krough, M a r k Drain, Sam Devlin, Phil Krough, and cox Skip Martin. Erica and Glide kept about a length behind the winner, and exchanged one-foot leads several times down the course. At the finish line, Erica edged Glide. In Erica was H u b Miller, Eric Hvalsoe, Bill Higgins, Marcus Lester, and Dick Molette, coxswain. Glide was rowed by John Ireton, Carl Meinzinger, Tony Bigge, Herb
Pearson, and C o x Julie De Roche. The winning boat zipped down the onenautical-mile course at 5. 376 knots. The women's race was Seattle crewed Erica versus O A R S ' Glide. Glide won by 2 lengths. The crew: Julie De Roche, Patty Lawler, Janice Veal, Lisa Johnson, and C a r l Meinzinger, cox. The valiant Erica crew was Caren Crandell, Kate Jenkins, Krista Phipps, and Sis Larson. The cox was Faye Kendall. The last and most hotly contested race was the mixed class. E n c a was crewed by Civitan's Paul Eyer, Kate Jenkins, J o h n Phipps, Krista Phipps and coxswain Marcus Lester. In Glide was Bob Pickett, Gary Frankel, Caren Crandell, Tena Doan, Peter Lentini, cox. Glide won, a mere foot ahead of Erica. Courtney Smith and Kelly Mulford started the races. Kelly got the boats off the mark with the roar of his flintlock pistol. Special thanks to Frank Cunningham for coaching the C W B and Civitan crews. Marty Loken used his Poulsbo boat as racing course patrol, and he photographed the races. Thanks to those who brought their boats to show and share, especially M r . and M r s . Gerry Stensgaard and Gerry's mom, who came all the way down from Vancouver, B. C. O h , yes, the chef's award went to Caren Crandell for her veggie chili. •

DANIEL D Y G E R T 1916 - 1984 Dan Dygert came at you with chest out and eyes smoking, telling hilarious stories in Dygertian rhetoric that flowered from a life of dories, skiffs, square riggers, cedar shavings, adze and bandsaw, pine tar and linseed oil, rum running, trolling, tug boating, the icy chop of Bristol Bay under oar and sail, and the quiet halls of Reed College. Dan was the teacher we looked up to at the Center. His mission became ours — to pass on the old skills and the old lore. Dan knew so much and gave so freely. He was deep. He was impish. He was relentless in pushing us to reach for
excellence. Dan laughed a lot, but he got mad, too — at all of us who weren't stretching our capacities to learn, to do, to live. Danny D. was our friend, our critic, our inspiration. His last visit to the Center was a few days before his death. He was the quintessential Dan — whipping us up to blazing enthusiasm to get out the word on the good wood boat. He left us a great legacy, and I loved him. — Dick Wagner. Donations in the memory of Dan Dygert will be set aside for a special project Dan would have liked, •

Designer's Notebook: C A R O U S I N G WITH
COUREUSE
(Editor's note: Dr. Harry Nash's boat, Coureuse, stood out during last summer's Seattle Wooden Boat Show, placing first overall after three days of sailing races. We asked Harry, of Vancouver, Washington, to share his ideas on the new class boat he calls Beach Bomb) By Harry Nash The Beach Bomb is my effort to solve some of the problems I found while sailing several types of small, sporty boats. I wanted a light, fast hull, one that could plane in a breeze, and that was easy to wrestle off and on a trailer on the beach. Also, I wanted a boat that was quick and simple to rig, could be retrieved easily from capsize, and would accommodate two adults. Finally, it had to be inexpensive — if there is such a thing anymore. The ubiquitous Sunfish and Laser are examples of such boats and deserve their popularity. For me, however, they have their drawbacks. These include, in the case of the Sunfish, excessive weather helm, poor windward performance, inadequate bearing when heeled, reluctance to plane in flat water, a tendency to "pearl" when surfing, and insufficient space or displacement for two. Lasers go well upwind, but can be unpleasantly "squirrely" when planing, particularly when surfing. The cockpit is uncomfortable and inadequate for two, although better than the Sunfish. However, both boats are overloaded with two adults aboard. My approach was to design a boat with greater length and freeboard, keep the same beam, and add as little weight and cost as possible. I also enlarged the cockpit, and extended the side-deck overhangs to add hiking power. This also makes a drier and more easily-righted boat. The Beach Bomb has hard chines aft to assist planing and to lessen the squirrely behavior I found in the roundbilged Laser. In the prototype, Coureuse ("sporty lady"), I tried a standing lug-rig, with tripping lines to shift the yard. This keeps the sail area low, but provides reasonable upwind performance. I raised the forward-deck crown to assist righting from capsize. I haven't dumped it yet, but it's sure to happen soon! Finally, I increased the sail area to 91 square feet, with reefing to 77 sq. ft. Laser and Sunfish both carry 75 sq. ft. Coureuse is a fun boat to sail. It's quick, well balanced, reasonably good to windward, nimble in tacking, and stiffer than I expected. It also planes readily in a breeze. We'll try an 84 sq. ft. jib headed rig in Coureuse as soon as possible. For anyone preferring such a rig with the same area as the lug, keep in mind that the performance will be hotter and more athletic, but also better upwind in light air. Definitely a rig for a competitive sailor!
Coureuse is about as dry as can be expected in such a low-freeboard craft. Beach Bombs can be built in glass-sheathed plywood by any reasonably-skilled amateur, and the cost of materials is low. If it's built by a professional yard, such as Schooner Creek, the cost, mainly labor, is higher than that for a Sunfish or Laser. If sufficient interest develops, there is an obvious, though unmentionable, solution! Why didn't someone invent the windsurfer while I was still young and energetic? •
CWB STUDENTS BUILD A NICE 12-FOOT SAILING D I N G H Y IN 12 D A Y S OF NOVEMBER... Photos by Marty Loken The C W B ' s fall workshop series was a roaring success, highlighted by construction of a handsome 12-foot lapstrake boat that is now part of the Center's rental fleet. Simon Watts taught the workshop—his fourth lapstrake session at the C W B . (He'll return again in March to oversee construction of another 12 footer ... see details on the '85 seminar series elsewhere in this issue. ) Members of the November class were M a r k Cunningham, Charles Bellia, Dennis Broderson, George Lathrop, Roger Christensen, George Corley, Elise Jensen and Jeff Kutz. The design was based on an old Nova Scotia skiff Simon had discovered while living there. Details on the photos at left: 1. A class member excavates the stem rabbet of the 12-footer. 2. Plank positions are marked off on the molds. 3. With the garboard in place, students test-fit the next plank. 4. Planking stock is clamped temporarily in place while being marked for a run through the table saw. Following installation of the sheerstrake, the boat is turned rightside-up (large photo), and oak timbers are steamed and bent into position. The ribs are copper-fastened immediately. 5. Presto! After 12 days the little boat emerges from the shop for its champagne christening and first sail across the lake. (Simon Watts photo. ) This one hit the water to the accompaniment of bagpipes—classy launching for a classy little boat! •
LETTERS A lot of times we discover a really good idea quite by accident. Awhile back I was getting something out of our shed in the dark. (We don't have lights in the shed —I wasn't trying to cut the electric company out of any money. ) Anyhow, I fell over a ladder in the dark and thought how dangerous it was to leave such things laying around where they could cause a nasty accident. In the dark, and in haste, I put the ladder up on some saw horses and congratulated myself on not being hurt. Not being too tidy, the ladder laid on the horses for some weeks and, when I had a couple of little jobs to do in the shed, I found myself spreading different items on the ladder to work on them. It was then that I suddenly discovered that this ladder—used so seldom for climbing—had a great, new purpose. It was relatively straight, it had rungs every so many inches, so there was a natural clamping spot for either holding material while you worked on it or glued something up overnight. When the ladder was C-clamped to the horses it was amazingly stable, and when you planed something down the shavings went right
through instead of piling up on the workbench. A n d , most important, it didn't cost anything! I'll never be able to look at a ladder quite the same a g a i n . . . Bruce Ely ( C W B Member) 40 George Street Ormiston, Queensland Australia 4163
SeaBirds around involved trying to make the house larger. Most end up looking boxy and I wonder if their sailing abilities are not seriously compromised by doing this. (She's an average sailor at best, even with a low profile. ) I might be tempted to raise the crown of the cabin-top
P e r h a p s someone can help. I'm looking for a double-paddle decked sailing canoe that incorporates as many of the following features as possible: Single or double-masted (stepped with ease); 400-600 pound capacity; relatively easy to construct; good tracking; wood or wood-epoxy system; no leeboards; floatation; stowage; stable and seaworthy enough to handle Columbia River chop or a stiff wind on the Sound. (Assuming a year's worth of experience... or thereabouts. I have info on Rushton's Princess, as well as the WoodenBoat back issues that include "Building a Seaworthy Sailing Canoe. " I thought, however, that you might know of a more local design, classes, craft for sale, or examples to check out. Thanks, in advance, to anyone who can help. Scott Hammond Route 4, B o x 259 Ellensburg, WA 98926 I thought I'd send some photos of my SeaBird yawl, now under construction. At this point I have done all the framing, and am now installing the deck beams, mast partners and outboard motor well. I've been working over a year on the boat, having started the lofting in October of '83, and I estimate another two years or so before she's done. The mistakes I have seen in most of the
beams an inch or two, since at 6'-3" this might mean a more comfortable position for cooking, etc. If there is anyone out there in the reading audience who would be willing to lend a hand (for free, or for lunch on me) when it comes time to plank this sea lady, I would be more than grateful. If you also happen to know how to do this, so much the better. I have been fortunate in living in an area that has an abundance of boat builders and aficionados, among them Frank Prothero, who has given me much good advice and an assembled keel. Bob Allen 513 18th Ave. East Seattle, WA 98112 (Ph. 325-4882)
I have a 24-foot Charles Cartwright sailboat with a 7-foot beam, built in 1939. I understand some member of your club might be interested in restoring something such as this. It is in need of repair, and I will sell it to the highest bidder, if the bids are at all in the range of a fair offer. It can be viewed at the address below. Please do not telephone, as there is little I can tell anyone on the phone. I have been awarded this boat in a divorce and would like to dispose of it at the earliest possible moment. One would have to inspect it at the site. Thank you, Francie Breedlove 12107 105th PI. N. E. Kirkland, WA 98033
