Embracing the Unknown This week, I had a beer with a cruiser who will soon be cutting her dock lines for a long, long trip.

She and her husband have lived aboard for six years.

They learned to sail by racing with some incredible sailors whose names can be frequently found in the pages of 48° North, Al Hughes, Alex Simanis, and Graeme Esarey, among talented others. They chased a possible dream-job near Bella Bella... chased it as fast as a stout cruising boat would carry them. Since they were up there, they cruised to Alaska and back.

They own a watersports business. Basically, you’d have a hard time finding more committed, jumpwith-both-feet types than these two. When they started, they were both in their 20s. Now in their 30s, they’re still part of the youth movement of liveaboards and cruisers in our part of the world.

Since their return to Seattle from Alaska, they’ve spent the last three years doing boat projects to make their classic Perry-designed Valiant 40 a turnkey world cruiser. And then a few weeks ago, she just quit her job. He’s made arrangements to be done in a month. Just like that, off they’ll go for the really big adventure. They’ve been diligently doing the preparation, but it seems like the decision to go came about so suddenly it surprised even them. If your boat is ready (whether by time or money or elbow grease) and you see your window... you’ve just got to go.

What’s the plan, I asked? After a pause, she said, “the plan is to cruise with as little plan or timeline as possible.” The trip is not without structure. They’re going to start with a circumnavigation of Vancouver Island. They’d like to make the passage down the coast to California before it gets too late into the fall. They think they’d like to get as far south as the coast of Ecuador before making the passage to the South Pacific. Their cruising kitty budget will keep them going for a certain amount of time, but as this cruiser put it – “We’re a pretty resourceful pair. If we want to keep cruising, I’m confident we can find odd jobs along the way.” But in essentially every other way, it’s open-ended, full of possibility, a thrillingly complete mystery to be unveiled one passage or port at a time.

From the decision to go, to the schedule, to the destinations and more, these enthusiastic young cruisers have controlled for the variables that were within their grasp so that they could then embrace the unknown.

As we enter the heart of the cruising season, I am reminded that a similar spirit - dutiful preparation followed by a significant relinquishment of control - is not limited to cruisers bound for far off lands. Even the most casual local day sail is at best a working partnership with the mostly-invisible wind and current. I was on the water recently during one of our Seattle summer evening convergencezone extravaganzas. As we rode shifts and lifts and changed sails repeatedly, I was struck by how sailing is really just trying to get ready, observing the things you can’t control, and then reacting to the given conditions. There are those savants who always seem to be a step ahead, but for most of us, you just have to roll with it. That’s obviously a big part of what makes sailing fun, challenging, and enriching.

So, as you schlep your dock cart full of gear down to the boat this month, prepare to the best of your ability and then fully let go. The unknown is what it’s all about. And as long as you keep sailing, you’ll have it in spades.

Erratic Vessel Behavior Dear Joe, During a recent yacht relocation of a new Jeaneau 509 from Seattle to San Diego, I was on a night watch and had an interesting sighting.

It was a clear evening and I could see a few lights of shore side homes and occasional cars’ headlights. We were near San Simon and a few miles offshore when I noticed the lights of a nearby vessel. The vessel was between us and shore, which I found quite interesting since I had thought we were fairly close in ourselves. I could clearly see the red port running light and a steaming light. A few minutes later I looked over that way again and now saw his green running light and figured that he had turned and was now heading out our way. Looking over at him just a few moments later I was now seeing the red running light again. Figuring he resumed his original course, I stopped watching him. Yet again looking his way I could once again clearly see his green running light.

As I continued to watch this vessel to try to determine just what he was doing, I saw his green running light seem to turn yellow and then to red. Perplexed by what I was seeing. I kept watching. And then it dawned on me that I was watching a lone stop light on shore that had a utility pole with a light mounted on it.

Letters RE: Adjustable Backstay Article in May Issue

All the Power You Need

Dear Jack Wilken and 48° North, I enjoyed your article in the May issue of 48° North on adjustable backstays for mainsail trim. (Truth be told, I enjoy all your articles—thanks, and keep it up!)

I’ve often wished that I could induce some mast bend to flatten the main. However, I’ve been resigned to believe that an adjustable backstay would be inappropriate for my boat since it features a deck-stepped mast—I imagine cranking up the tension on the backstay only to force the base of the mast to slide forward and have the whole rig come down.

Now, these fears may be apocryphal—I appreciate that the mast is under considerable compression, and that additional tension on the backstays would principally increase the compression downward, with perhaps a slight vector component forward.

I have a Cascade 36 with split backstays. The aluminum mast sits in a cast aluminum base which extends some distance (perhaps an inch) into the hollow mast to secure it in place. Would you consider this rig a candidate for an adjustable backstay?

Model Shown Beta 38

Thanks!

Response from 48°N’s How-To columnist, Jack Wilken: John, your boat is a candidate for a backstay adjuster. Try tuning the rig with the headstay and backstay tensioned to go to weather in the range of 15 - 18% of the breaking strength of the wire. If all is well with the deck and its support and it sails without excessive sag to the headstay, then you are good to go. This means that you will be able to tension to this amount to go to weather and then relax the tension down wind and at the dock. You should be able to used a mechanical tensioner with pulleys that pull the backstays together.

Letters LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

Cruisers Coming Home Will our world cruising experience leave us more deeply connected to the familiar or feeling too much like outsiders?

Cruising literature is rife with tales and images that fuel the dream of sailing into the sunset. The other end of the experience, going home, is an empty shelf. Facing this now feels more troubling than learning how to avoid ciguatera, clearing into a foreign country without understanding the language, or navigating a 3,100 mile inter-hemisphere passage to get home.

Next month, Totem will cross into US waters again for the first time since 2008. This isn’t an end to our cruising days; it’s a seasonal interlude to visit family and friends. Setting foot on home soil is a significant milestone for our family, even if we carry some trepidation. How will it feel to return?

How will we be received? What will be blissfully familiar? Where will reverse culture shock put us off balance?

There is no question that the sea has changed us. Traveling widely and slowly has reshaped who we are: less concerned about swimming with sharks or walking through a village of

people one generation removed from headhunting, and more concerned about facing holiday shopping season.

We have gradually peeled back to have little more than what we need. We have one or two pairs of shoes each, and yes, that’s including flip flops. We share a single family phone, which doesn’t actually get used much. We have a keen sense of avoiding excess, honed because any garbage created must go somewhere and there aren’t good options from the middle of the ocean or in a remote village. We’re accustomed to waiting months for something we need, whether it’s a spare part or a book.

Amazon does not deliver out here!

We previewed our “you’ve been away for a while” changes when we parked in Australia for 18 months. Yes, we still live on the boat and no, we haven’t watched that TV series, were answers for the sort of questions we got.

We were misfits. It left us all relieved to embark on the cruising life again. It’s not like we’re running from anything or went cruising to become different. It just so happens that travel and returning to a familiar past makes the differences clear.

One of the gifts of slow travel is the chance to connect with people along the way. The longer the journey, the wider range of culture, language, and ethnic experiences there are to hear and see.

From this, a simple truth becomes obvious: that overwhelmingly, people are similar and good and worthy of trust. It was true of the couple that took us under their wing in St Helena, touring us around, offering Sunday lunch, showers, and even laundry! Good and The Giffords in 2008, just beginning their adventure.

trustworthy don’t seem like strong enough words for the family on Ascension, who gifted us from their rationed share of fresh produce (dear on this remote, arid island) because we had a three week passage ahead… never mind how limited their own options are.

Our lives are filled with kindnesses small and large by the strangers we meet. We have not been victimized, unless you count overpaying for fruit at an open market in Bali. Yet, it’s our impression that US media sends the opposite message. Outside our sheltered country, in the big scary world, danger lurks everywhere.

Personal safety is always at risk.

People hate Americans. It’s as if the world is supposed be like the wars we fight. In fact, we’ve found enmity for Americans to be rare. Personal security is important to everyone, and nobody wants bad people in their neighborhood or village.

I wonder most how our kids will respond. Flying back to visit the US has never been in our budget, so for them, we’re returning to a home country they don’t really know. Their basis is a mix of fuzzy memories, international headlines, history lessons, movies, and perceptions from the outside. In some ways, this is good. They don’t have many expectations because going to the USA is like going to a new country, something they have a lot of practice with. On the other hand, they’re troubled following presidential candidates who should be profoundly skilled leaders rather than the scary people they appear to be. Mostly, their concerns are more immediate: will they find and make friends? We will be removed from the cruising community for a while, just another boat anchored along a coastal town. Connecting with boat kids usually stems from being in sync with cruisers along similar seasonal routes, which we expect will be fragmented along the summertime coast of New England. They wonder whether these peers they do meet have their faces stuck in smartphone screens instead of facing forward for conversation, like the classmates at the

July 2016

The trauma of returning to land-based living for us was a combination of many things: • Money – it is a lot more expensive on land.

• A loss of freedom of movement – if you don’t like where you are when cruising, simply pick up the anchor and move. We have friends who stopped cruising and then sold their house and moved four times in three years.

They reported this process to be a lot more difficult an expensive than up-anchoring.

• A loss of association with the like-minded – when you anchor in a new port, the cruisers there will immediately contact you and you instantly become part of the community. Need help with a repair, tool, spare part, weather forecast, local shops, markets and restaurants? Just get on the radio or in the dinghy and be overwhelmed by the responses. Swapping books, cockpit cocktails, movie nights, shopping excursions

www.48North.com

Letters are shared experiences and every-day occurrences. The dynamic is simply different ashore.

• Different context for peer relationships – the hardest thing for a long term cruiser to learn, at least it was for us, is that, outside of immediate family and some close friends, no one is really interested in what you were doing. “You sailed around the world!! Great!!

Did you have bad weather or see pirates?” “No pirates and no really bad weather.” “Great! How about those Dodgers?” was a fairly typical exchange.

• Ryan (age 14) had a variety of struggles – it was much harder on him than on Carole and I. Thanks to Carole’s very expert home schooling (she was a 25 year veteran teacher) Ryan was at least two years ahead of his peers academically, and light years ahead in terms of experience and interaction with other cultures, religions, and people of all ages and ways of life. An expert swimmer, scuba diver, sailor, navigator and dinghy driver, Ryan had no experience in the team sports of football, basketball and baseball. All of this combined to make very difficult for him to fit into the school and teen culture.

• A necessary change in our way of thinking from being almost completely in charge of our way of life and our destiny, to having almost no control – this applied to all of us. It really is very difficult to quantify this feeling.

Certainly, everyday matters like the supply of water and electricity are supplied by, and under the control of, others instead of being our responsibility. Ownership of a house in a street, that is part of a suburb, that is part of a city, that is part of a larger city, is completely different from owning a boat, and being able to be in an anchorage, or at sea, and feel like the center of the universe.

We have overcome all of these things and all are now happy, or as happy as one can be on land. Those six years of sailing around the world were an extraordinary experience and one we would not have changed even if we had known of the problems that would arise when we stopped.

So our advice to the Gifford family is simple. All the preparation, all the worrying and all the planning you are undertaking prior to coming home is not going to help to overcome the real problems, which are essentially mental.

Your best preparation is to enjoy cruising right up to the moment the last dock line is secured, adding as much as possible to your memory reservoir. You will need that as full as possible during the next phase of your life.

The orange and white “Voluntary No Anchor Zone” buoys are back in place along the Port Townsend waterfront. This is the 13th year the Jefferson County Marine Resources Com-mittee (MRC) has put out these seasonal buoys to protect eelgrass beds in the shallow waters near the Port Townsend waterfront. Visiting boaters are asked to anchor seaward of the buoys and eelgrass beds so that their anchors and the associated chain on the bottom swinging in the current won’t tear up these beds. Eelgrass helps prevent shoreline erosion as well as providing a nurturing environment for herring, smelt, juvenile salmon, Dungeness crab, starry flounder and many other species for refuge, feeding and reproduction.

The voluntary no-anchor zone is marked by ten buoys running in a rough line from the Northwest Maritime Center on the eastern end to the west end of the Boat Haven, plus two new buoys west of the corner of the Boat Haven breakwater. In the winter, the large 66-inch buoys are re-placed with much smaller winter buoys that won’t get torn off in winter storms.

The Jefferson County Marine Resources Committee is responsible for the ten buoys along the Port Townsend waterfront as well as seven buoys in Mystery Bay and four in Port Hadlock that protect both shellfish beds and eelgrass in those other locations. All three locations are noted in the on-line Active Captain boater computer app.

For further info, check the colorful signs ashore near the buoys or call the MRC Coordinator, at (360) 379-5610 or check http://jeffersonmrc.org

The Pharos Lighthouse in Alexandria, Egypt, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was so famous that the word lighthouse in Spanish and Italian is faro, and French also uses the same root word, phare.

The Sandy Hook Lighthouse at the entrance to New York Harbor in New Jersey, in service since 1764, is the oldest original lighthouse still in use in the United States. Little Brewster in Boston is older and was America’s first lighthouse (1713), but it was destroyed during the Revolutionary War, and thus not the original light.

Maritime Trivia by B ryan H enry

The French erected the first Canadian lighthouse in 1740 at Louisburg on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

In 1756, English engineer John Smeaton invented cement that sets underwater for the construction of lighthouses.

The world’s first revolving light was installed at Carlsten in Sweden in 1781.

The 1811 lighthouse on Bell Rock off the east coast of Scotland is the world’s oldest offshore lighthouse.

The Statue of Liberty was a functioning lighthouse until 1902 and was administered by the Lighthouse Board.

The world’s tallest lighthouse is in Yamashita Park, Yokohama, Japan, and is 348 feet tall.

The first atomic-powered lighthouse, Baltimore Light in Maryland, was activated May 20, 1964.

Eddystone Lighthouse was depicted on the English penny periodically from 1860 until 1970.

Devils Lake, the largest natural lake in North Dakota, is known as the Perch Capital of the World.

Lowtide Utah’s Great Salt Lake, the largest lake west of the Mississippi River, is the remnant of the much larger ancient inland sea called Lake Bonneville.

Colorado’s 700-foot-high sand dunes in Great Sand Dunes National Monument were covered by an ancient sea more than a million years ago.

Previously known as the Grand River, the Colorado River was officially given its name 45 years after the territory became a state.

The Baltic Sea is named for the Lithuanian baltas, “white”, or from the Scandinavian balta, “strait.”

The freshest seawater is found in the Baltic and Black Seas, whose waters are diluted by the influx of numerous large rivers.

China’s Grand Canal, constructed in the 13th century, is the world’s longest artificial waterway, running 1,100 miles from Beijing to Hangzhou.

Books The time when every vessel going to sea made use of three-strand rope has gone. Still, splicing that type of rope and cord is relatively straightforward. Nowadays the most common type of rope used on board yachts, dinghies, motorboats, working boats, and ferries is braided rope.

Few people have the knowledge to splice it, or even know where to start.

Splicing Modern Ropes: A Practical Handbook is the first guide to developing this essential skill. It explains why splices are better - and stronger - than knots or shackles for joining or shortening rope, and how to go about it properly.

With this skill, yachtsmen can customize their ropes, optimize their deck layout, taper their sheets for ease of handling, and splice

an extra cover on their ropes to give better grip, avoid chafe, and make them last longer.

U s i n g c l e a r, s t e p - b y - s t e p photography and detailed instructions, this book will guide readers through all of the stages required to make strong, reliable splices.

Splicing Modern Ropes: A Practical Handbook by Jan-Willem Polman, $30.00, published by Bloomsbury Publishing.

Navigation is the key human skill.

It's something we do everywhere, whether feeling our way through a bedroom in the dark, or charting a ship’s course. But how does navigation affect our brains, our memory, ourselves?

Blending scientific research and memoir, and written in beautiful prose, Finding North starts with a quest by the author to understand this most basic of human skills - and why it's in mortal peril.

In 1844, Geroge Foy’s great-great grandfather, captain of a Norwegian cargo ship, perished at sea after

getting lost in a snowstorm. Foy decides to unravel the mystery surrounding Halvor Michelsen’s death - and the roots of his own obsession with navigation - by re-creating his ancestor's trip using only period instruments.

Beforehand, he meets a colorful cast of characters to learn whether men really have better directional skills than women, how cells, eels, and spaceships navigate; and how tragedy results from GPS glitches.

At the heart of Foy’s story is

this fact: navigation and the brain’s memory centers are inextricably linked. As Foy unravels the secret behind Halvor ’s death, he also discovers why forsaking our navigation skills in favor of GPS may lead not only to Alzheimers and other diseases of memory, but to losing a key part of what makes us human.

” e r ” e e r H e y H a y D a r e D h r t e o ““LLeett’s’s SSppeenndd AAnnoth A cruising breakthrough at English Camp

Our sailing world changed one misty morning in Garrison Bay, San Juan Island. I was up early having a cup of coffee in the cockpit of our Cal 29, Maluhia. Mornings on the anchor are always a quiet time, but this morning seemed particularly peaceful.

A mist hung over the bay putting a soft focus on everything as the sun slowly brightened the day.

I was watching a Great Blue Heron as he began his morning, flying in slow motion over the water. He was heading toward our boat and I was looking forward to getting a nice close look at him as he passed by. Slowly he approached, but instead of doing a flyby, he lowered his legs, pulled up and landed on our lifelines. I was surprised but not as surprised as he, swinging back and forth, wings flapping, looking 24

like Charlie Chaplin on stilts trying to walk a tight wire. It was impossible to hold back a laugh as he undulated on the lifeline for a minute, then jumped to the deck, looking around as if to see if anyone had seen his awkward moment. I called down to Marilyn to come up and see our visitor.

“Be right up,” she called, “just getting ready to go.”

Coffee cup in hand, she emerged from the cabin, slowly turning to see the still somewhat bewildered heron, who, having regained his composure, regally lifted off the deck to find a more fitting locale.

“That was great,” Marilyn said.

“Well, where are we off to today?”

“You know, it’s so nice here, let’s stay another day. Maybe take a hike up the mountain.”

July 2016

www.48North.com

My wife froze, a most confused look on her face.

“You mean just hang out here today? All day? Then spend the night here again, in this same spot?”

“Sure. It’s going to be a sunny day.

We’ve got a nice spot. We can explore English Camp some more, then take one of the trails up to the lookout.

She just stared at me. I looked around the bay a bit, taking in the boats around us. I looked back at her and she was still staring at me, like she was frozen in time. I’d never seen her like that.

“Are you alright dear?”

She continued to stare. I reached over and touched her cheek with growing concern.

Slowly she moved her eyes, taking a slow motion sip of her coffee.

“We’ve been cruising the San Juans for years, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard you say we were going to stay in one place for a couple days.”

She was right. Usually, we would pull into an anchorage, explore a bit on shore, check the weather, pick our next destination, and be off the next morning for another place. We’d eat a light breakfast in the cockpit and up anchor. Or just eat something once we got going, depending on the weather.

On the rare times I woke up first, I’d sometimes get underway to the surprise of my wife when she woke up.

One time I awoke particularly early. She was sleeping so soundly I didn’t want to wake her, so I quietly got dressed and went topside. When she awoke and stuck her head out of the cabin, I was leisurely sitting in the cockpit as the boat sailed lazily directly downwind under spinnaker alone, heading north to Canada. I had rigged the sheet and guy around the winches such that I could tie them to the tiller, giving me a sort of “self-tending spinnaker” set up. Very nice.

Another time I decided to get an early start on our trip from Jones

“Well, where are we off to today?”

“You know, it’s so nice here, let’s stay another day. Maybe take a hike up the mountain.”

My wife froze, a most confused look on her face.

Island back to Seattle. It was calm but a heavy blanket of fog made visibility a challenge. I untied from the buoy and slowly inched myself around the north end of James Island and headed south.

But a gut feeling was telling me I was missing something. Marilyn found me pouring over the charts where, sure enough, my course was taking me directly to Bird Rocks. Not being a bird, I didn’t want to go there. Luckily the fog lifted enough and we enjoyed some coffee and donuts as we sailed well clear of the rocks.

Our early departures had a practical side, as it allowed us to get a buoy at one of the island parks. The powerboats could afford to leave a little later as they could zoom off to their

next destination at 20 knots. Our four or five knots took us a bit more time.

Yes, our usual San Juan sailing found us doing a lot of island hopping, so it was not surprising that my wife was thunderstruck by the words, “let’s stay here another day.” And stay we did, having a glorious day, returning to the boat tired but refreshed after a day of exploring the island.

Over a glass of wine and a glorious sunset, we contemplated the page that had been turned in our cruising life.

We knew then that our philosophy of cruising (which we didn’t even know we had) had changed a bit. Sure, we’d still be exploring the many joys that the San Juan Islands had to offer, but our wanderlust would yield a bit to the joys of today, instead of chasing what might happen tomorrow.

In the following years it’s turned out to be a wonderful revelation.

We’ve reached a nice balance between wanting to see it all, the joy of sailing on the wind, and really experiencing the unique places we are visiting. We’re more relaxed and happy, and isn’t that the whole point of cruising in the first place? -48°N

T he S ailmaker S essions The Finer Points of Sail Entry Angle

By Jack Christiansen, of North Sails Seattle The Sailmaker Sessions is a recurring series in 48° North in which we feature a different local sailmaker in two formats. Each magazine has an informational article written by the featured sailmaker. As a complement to the article in the magazine, the sailmaker will participate in an interview focusing on their background and current interests in the world of sailing which will be published on the new www.48north.com.

Deep Entry Angle So, with the same head sail on your boat you can have either a draft forward (halyard tighter) or draft aft (halyard looser). The draft forward shape will give you a broader steering groove; it will put you into an acceleration mode more easily. This mode is like first gear on your truck - being able to go up a steep hill. Lots of power. It requires less attention to steering an exact course needed to keep the telltales with just the inside one lifting occasionally.

This draft forward shape will be more forgiving and make it easier to steer in higher winds and in bigger waves or steeper chop.

All of the above assumes you are going upwind, sheeted in tight, and

What is the entry angle you might ask? Technically, it is “the angle between the luff tangent and the centerline of the boat at equal distance above the deck, in degrees” (Figure 1).

In real life the entry angle is seen by looking at the front Trim your Headsail Halyard Many sailors will hoist their two feet of the sail. headsail until the luff is smooth and You are looking for the forget it. (*If your sail is more than 10 curvature of the sail years old then that might be all you can as it comes back from do.) Hoisting till smooth is not always the forestay. While the the answer. The halyard tension pulls depth of your sail is the the tack and the head further apart; easiest characteristic stretching the cloth between them, to notice, adjusting Figure 2: A sail with a deep entry angle, accomplished which results in the deepest part of the the entry of the sail by a tighter halyard which moves the draft forward sail (draft) moving forward towards will make your sailing in the sail. the forestay. This affects the entry angle easier for the given of the head sail. conditions and goals. have your headsail lead car set so the inside luff telltales at the three-quarter height of the sail are just start to lift up and stall. The other lower telltale sets should be streaming back on both sides of the sail. Look at the picture of the sail with a deep entry angle (Figure 2) as a good example of set up in 6-12 knots of true wind. In the photo, locate the seam just below the telltale window - here you can see the entry angle is pretty round due to the halyard tension being on tight enough to make the sail luff smooth. The entry angle could be determined by putting a straight ruler on the leeward side of the sail from the Figure 1: Sail entry angle is relative to the boat centerline and the luff. Like most things luff to the telltale window. in sailing, it’s one of many possible sail trim alterations, with will an effect on another.

July 2016 www.48North.com 26 Let’s go sailing, and be more in control! Lots of the time, small and seemingly simple adjustments to your sail trim can have significant impacts on control and performance. The concepts of draft and angle entry apply to racing, day sailing, and cruising boats.

and should play the sheet in and out to produce a higher average boat speed.

The deep entry is more forgiving, reestablishes flow more quickly and produces more power. This “fuller” or “deeper” set up would be useful in Puget Sound when wind conditions are puffy or changing often and the tide is against the current.

The entry of the sail and the position of the draft will naturally go aft as the wind speed increases. The draft is pushed aft by the pressure in the sail, which pulls aft of the forestay making the entry finer. Tensioning the halyard in this condition will make the entry fuller, offsetting the natural effects of stronger wind.

Figure 3: the same sail with a looser halyard, resulting in a finer entry and a more draft aft shape. This was a halyard change of only two inches eased.

Fine Entry Angle Now if you were to ease the halyard, the luff would get wrinkles and the deepest part of the draft would go aft. This will make the entry “fine” which will be a higher pointing shape.

The finer entry will have the front two feet of this sail very parallel to the apparent wind. Any course alteration will have the telltales on one side or the other of the sail going up or forward.

This tells you the sail is very sensitive to steering. Understanding this makes it easy to imagine a scenario when you are on Puget Sound in smooth water with the current and the wind going the same direction, it would be okay to have wrinkles coming back about a foot from the forestay for a 24’ to 30’ boat, and up to 18 inches back for boat in the 40’ to 48’ range.

When sailing with the finer entry, if you head up or fall off too much you will quickly see a large decrease in the power of the sail. This is due to the sail stalling. It will take longer to get back up to speed after stalling with a fine entry then with a deep entry setup.

If you are going to set your sail like this, then you can shorten the time it takes to get back up to speed from a stall by having a crew person ease the headsail sheet two to four inches.

When you are back up to top speed for the conditions slowly trim the head sail

sheet back in. If you are racing, the first crew off the rail and the last one onto the rail to hike should be the trimmer

An adjustable backstay can also have a big effect on entry angle, particularly by controlling headstay sag. More sag mean a finer entry. Less sag (from more backstay on) means a deeper entry. www.48North.com

July 2016

The Importance of Backstay An adjustable backstay is a sail control that many sailors don’t realize can have a huge effect on a headsail. To see the effect of adjusting the backstay, tighten it to three quarters of maximum in 6 – 12 knots of breeze. Next send as many crew members as possible to stand by the mast or windward shroud and have them look up at the middle of the headsail to get a mental picture of the entry and the depth of the sail.

Then a person remaining in the back of the boat should ease the backstay all at once so those forward can see how the forestay sags aft and to leeward (in the direction of the apparent wind) making the entry fuller and moving the draft forward producing a more powerful shape of the headsail. Switch positions until all on board can see the changes. You cannot see what the sail shape change when slowly pumping a hydraulic backstay or pulling on a purchase system, but you can while easing it off all at once.

I have found many sailors were aware of how the backstay affects the mainsail, but not that it is so useful to de-power (by putting it on) or power up (by easing off) both sails at the same time. An adjustable backstay is a great tool for roller furling headsails as well.

Tensioning the backstay half to three quarters of maximum before roller reefing straightens the headstay and flattens the headsail. Now, let’s all go sailing!

Earlier this year, over 200 of the most talented and committed young Optimist Dinghy sailors from around the country took to the chilly waters of San Francisco Bay for the US Optimist Dinghy Association (USODA) Team Trials. This is an invitation-only event, and sailors qualify by placing in the top 50% of a USODA National Regatta, or the top 25% of a USODA Regional Championship. Success at Team Trials can mean the opportunity to sail as a part of the National Optimist Team. Below are accounts from four young Pacific Northwest sailors who worked hard to qualify and made the trip to the Bay. They learned a lot and had a ton of fun!

P arker C arlson A ge 14 I woke up around 8:00am and we headed over to the San Francisco Yacht Club, the host of this year’s Team Trials.

I saw 250 sailors who had traveled from all over the country for this invitational event! My palms began to moisten. I was scared!

I rigged my Opti in the sunny, 80° heat with no wind in the cove. That day, we went out for a practice with our coach Cam Hoard. He was a previous instructor at this club so I knew he would have “inside” knowledge. I sailed with my teammates, Justin Skene and Dieter Creitz. The wind finally picked up after our 45 minute tow to the racing area. We did many drills, including rabbit starts.

28

The next morning was the first day of the regatta. Unfortunately, I did not do very well and placed at the bottom half of the fleet. The second day, again, bottom half of fleet. And the third day, one more time, bottom half of the fleet.

I was about 150th place and I was put into the silver fleet and not the gold.

I knew that I had to get top 10 every remaining race for me to even get close to my goal of top 100.

I was worried that I would not qualify for any International regatta, and that made the tow to the race course the next day feel really long. As the first race began, the wind picked up a lot, which was good because I knew I could hold the boat down. This was my kind of wind, finally!

At the start, I was under the whole fleet and on starboard tack. Two sailors did not avoid me which lead to a collision. I still kept with my plan, and went far left and tacked on top of the fleet. As I got to the windward mark the wind picked up to a point where I started to have trouble keeping the boat flat. I continued to try my best as I rounded the windward mark in 4th place. I was really excited! At the last upwind finish I lost 6 places and ended up finishing in 10th place.

In the second and final race of that day, I was in the first row at the start and stuck with my plan again. I July 2016

www.48North.com

rounded the first windward mark in 3rd and finished in 5th. At the end of the day I felt great but when I looked at the final scores I was only 129th.

I was pretty sure I would not qualify for a regatta. But, as the International summer regattas were being seeded, I received the USODA International invite. I qualified for the USA team to attend Flanders which is held in Belgium. I get to sail in the North Sea! I will join 14 other sailors from around the country and Mitch Hall and Mike Dowd will be our coaches.

The real lesson I learned in this regatta is to never give up, no matter how hard it gets.

Left to right: Casey Pickett, Parker Carlson, Dieter Creitz, Cameron Hoard (coach), and Justin Skene.

D ieter C reit z A ge 9 I went for my first sail when I was two weeks old and sailed in my first regatta, Race to the Straits, at five weeks old. I started sailing my Opti at age five at the CYC sail camp. My Dad bought my first Opti, La Baliene, from the Brink family. I practiced, got better and better, and joined the SYC race team. I made new friends. My teammates and coaches helped me improve my skills.

In September of 2015, my Dad and I drove to the San Francisco Yacht Club in Tiburon for the USODA Pacific Coast Championships. This was my second opportunity in 2015 to qualify for Team Trials in 2016. My first opportunity was at USODA NW Champs at Cascade Locks and I did not qualify at this very competitive regatta. I arrived early for PCC’s and practiced with Lucas and Pilar Calabrese, as well as sailors from the National team. Lucas will be representing Argentina in the 470 class at the Olympics in Rio this summer and is a former Opti World Champion.

I had a great regatta and learned a lot.

In the last race, I finished 7th out of 86 sailors, which helped me qualify for Team Trials. The great thing about PCCs was that it was where Team Trials 2016 were going to be held.

This was my second Team Trials.

Last year, which was in Miami, FL, was my first. The last two years, I have been the youngest sailor competing.

To get ready for Team Trials, I had to train and practice. At home, I used my hiking bench and as the event got closer I tried to get as much time on the water sailing as possible.

I showed up in Tiburon five days before the Team Trials regatta started.

I trained with coaches Shawn Bennett and Scott Lindley. Coach Cam from SYC and the rest of my team arrived and we practiced for two days together and then we had a lay day. On that day, I went to the Muir Woods for a hike with my teammate Casey Pickett.

Those redwood trees are amazing!

Sailing on the Berkley Circle is challenging with extreme winds and tides. Every day, we had to be towed in and out by our coach. During the tow I tried to conserve my energy and make sure I did not flip or fall out of my boat.

My goal was to finish in the top 150. I did not meet that, but came close by placing 164th overall and I finished 3rd in white fleet which is the Opti division for sailors age ten and under.

On the last day, our team got to ride in a Protector to the San Francisco city front for dinner together. The Protector went over 40 knots!

I hope to qualify for Team Trials 2017, which will be held at Brant Beach Yacht Club in Township, NJ. USODA is holding a qualifying event right here in Seattle at Sail Sand Point.

If you want to sail an Opti, you should ask your parents and just get out on the water. You don't have to sail at first, you can just get in a boat and get a feel for it. Once you get a feel for it, you can start sailing boats and sign up for camps and teams. Eventually, you should buy a boat. There are always used Optis for sale.

For me sailing is competitive, fun, and you make a lot of new lifelong friends. My favorite sailor is Owen Timms. He helped me a lot and he was nice to me. Sailing with the Pistay family, who have taken me under their wing, has taught me a lot. They invited me to sail on their Farr 30 for Worlds and helped me get on the Transpac 52, Glory. Scott Smith has been inspiring me and is teaching me how to be a better big boat sailor.

It is also sport that I get to enjoy with my family. It’s a family tradition.

In addition to sailing the Opti, I also sail on my family’s Olson 25, RS Aero, and El Toro, as well as my grandpa’s Soverell 33, 420 and Vanguard 15.

Thanks to my coaches and everyone who has helped me along the way! www.48North.com

C asey P ickett A ge 14 I have been sailing in the Opti since I was eight, and have been a participant in the NWYRC (Northwest Youth Racing Circuit) for many years. I have some experience with big regattas already, but Team Trials is unique. It is a invitation-only regatta so the level of competition is very high. My first Team Trials went surprisingly well. I was fortunate enough to make the US Development Team and got to go to an international event (British Nationals).

Because I’m 14 years old, this Team Trials was going to be my last Opti regatta. My goals were to have consistent races, do good mark approaches, and qualify for IODA North American Championships. I had sailed in the venue a lot before, so I was ready for the challenge!

This Team Trials didn't go as well as planned, though. There were three days of mixed fleet, and the fourth day was divided into Gold fleet and Silver fleet. Gold fleet consisted of the top 33% of sailors, and rest of the sailors made up the Silver fleet. In those first three days, there was a lot of pressure.

I really wanted to make the Gold fleet.

The mixed fleet days were pretty windy - about what I had expected.

The current played a major role in every race. It was constantly changing, so it was crucial to keep checking it.

Unfortunately, I had some races that had a negative impact on my scores. I didn’t make Gold fleet. The last day was very windy. We only did two races that day. A gust of about 30 knots hit the fleet. That gust made the top five boats all get caught in irons at the same time.

The two last races went fairly well for me. I ended up placing somewhere in the mid 80s or 90s overall, but I still had a great time. I learned a lot too.

Team Trials is always a great experience.

I recommend it to any Opti sailor!

J ustin S kene A ge 14 When I first started sailing Optis at six years old, there were three kids in the boat, one driving, one “trimming” the sail, and one sitting in the bow doing nothing. Now, eight years later, I have qualified for Team Trials three times and competed in Team Trials twice. This past year, I qualified by going to Minnesota to compete in the Midwest Championship regatta. I got third place in Minnesota, so I qualified for Team Trials. Midwest Champs was on Lake Minnetonka and was still warm from the summer. Both days the

wind was more than 15-20 knots which was good for me because I'm a bigger sailor and love the wind. My favorite thing about sailing is the thrill of the wind and the water, and competing against other sailors, especially in big regattas, even if I don't win.

Team Trials is different from other regattas because there are more than 200 sailors and you have to qualify for it. To qualify you have to be in the top 25% of competitors at a USODA regatta.

Some people qualify more than once and not everybody that qualifies goes to Team Trials. That makes it only the best Opti sailors in the country. Because there are so many boats, they split up the boats into three fleets that change every day. The fleets are combined and one person wins the regatta.

This year I was at the upper end of the age and the size spectrum so I was really looking forward to the higher winds. The winds were not as high as I had expected. Last time I sailed in San Francisco, I sailed behind St. Francis Yacht Club near the Golden Gate Bridge where the current was very strong and the wind was more than 25 knots.

wind was usually around 10-12 knots from the west, and it built as the day went on. The waves were not very big and also coming from the west. On the last day, the wind was around 20 knots and there were kids struggling to stay out of irons. That was when I was doing my best.

My biggest lesson learned from Team Trials was something Peter Isler said at a presentation the day before sailing: “Always have fun, even if you are not doing as well as you would like to, keep having fun.” This really inspired me, because last year and recently before Team Trials, I was not having much fun when I was sailing because I was too focused on doing well.

I plan to start sailing 29ers soon because I am getting too old and too tall for the Opti. My advice to other sailors out there is to always stay happy and have fun while you are sailing.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert

Leaning over the boat’s side I peered into the eelgrass and saw a red rock crab, a couple of perch, and...wait a minute, one eelgrass blade is leaving! A little closer look and I realized it was a Bay Pipefish, standing straight up as if it, too, was eelgrass. What amazing camouflage this fish has evolved. The pencil-thin Bay Pipefish is in the tropical sea horse family and you can see that in the head’s shape.

They can grow to 13” but are more normally 4” to 7”, and like a sea horse, has a tiny toothless mouth at the very end of the snout. They feed on small amphipods and crab larvae by simply sucking them into their mouths. Poor swimmers with tiny fins, they have bony rings instead of scales like most fish.

Soon after mating in summer, the female Pipefish transfers her eggs to the male’s brood pouch where they are safe and gain nourishment from the male (think marsupials such as female kangaroos except Pipefish males have the pouch). After several weeks, the baby Pipes are cast out and quickly learn to look like blades of eelgrass waving back and forth in the current. Being poor swimmers, countless generations may live in one bay.

This brings me to the anchoring issue. Now that you know all this, are you really going to pull into a shallow bay, toss your 45-pound Danforth over the side with a couple of hundred pounds of chain and not think about these elegant little fish? Eelgrass near shore? Don’t anchor!

Unstep and Step Your Mast

We have written a lot in the past about rigging, so this month it is how to unstep and step your mast. There are many reasons you may eventually have to do this, from rigging replacement to electronic installments to maintenance.

The processes to unstep or step your mast will differ depending on whether the mast is deck stepped or keel stepped, and how much the mast weighs. Masts that weigh 100 pounds or less can usually be put in place by a skipper and one or two crew. Heavier deck stepped masts can be raised and lowered without a crane by using a tabernacle. Boatyards are, of course, set up to pull masts and step them, and they normally will also have a place for you to work on your mast.

Figure 1: Shown here is a keel stepped mast on one boat being pulled using the halyard from a larger boat. “A” is the spinnaker halyard for a 50’ plus tall mast being used to pull a 30’ plus tall mast. The rigging is secured to the mast “B”. A large fender “C” allows you to heel the smaller boat to align with the mast head of the larger boat.

By Jack and Alex Wilken

The manufacturer of your mast can give you the weight of the mast extrusion per foot, so by multiplying that by the height in feet, you will have the weight of the bare mast. Rigging, fittings, and spreaders all add weight that will need to be taken into consideration when lifting your mast.

Generally, boats over 25’ will be advised to use a crane and someone who knows what they are doing to unstep or step a mast.

The mast on a small boat can often Figure 2: Larger boats with tabernacles can be rigged be man-handled into to raise and lower the mast using the boom as a gin pole. place.

backstay attached when lifting from aft to forward or the opposite if lifting the other way around. If you can lift the mast part of the way just by pushing on it, you can then raise it the rest of the way with a single line or a two or threepart tackle (Figure 3). You will want an angle of 10 to 15 degrees between the mast and the line to give you an easy pull up instead of trying to just compress the mast.

Larger boats that need to use a crane still have plenty to do. The crane is usually a flat rate, but there is an expectation that you will be ready to go so that when the crane gets hooked up, the mast is only a few clevis pins from being free to lift. Start by removing your sail covers and sails and then look for anything that connects to the deck and the mast. Flag halyards can be easily missed. The boom needs to be removed and stored out of the way.

If the spinnaker pole is attached to the front of the mast, it must be detached and stowed elsewhere. All running rigging, halyards and such, should be fastened or tied off to the mast. Do not wrap lines around the mast above the winches or goose neck as the lifting harness may need to slide up the mast unencumbered.

Most boats will have electrical and signal wires running up the mast; these

must all be disconnected.

If they run inside the mast through the cabin top, it is best to push them up into the mast so they will not get caught on anything.

On keel stepped masts, disconnect and tape them temporarily to the mast.

You will need to pay attention to these as the mast comes out so that they do not get trapped between the mast and the deck or collar.

Mark the turnbuckles by placing tape - this is a good use of “electrical” or vinyl tape - around the screw where it enters the barrel.

The crane will swing close into the front or aft side of the mast so clear the space so the yard personnel, or whoever is rigging the lifting harness, will not be stepping on screw drivers, etc. Get your own tools ready and organized: we always have a ¼” tip alignment punch, that is close to 10” long, and at least a 16 oz. brass hammer for knocking out stubborn clevis pins.

The big moment is when the crane Figure 3: Lighter masts can be rigged and levered up by pushing them to an angle of 10 degrees or more, “A”. With the upper shrouds in place, “B”, the mast will be held on the starts to take up on the harness that center line, especially as it gets higher up. “C” is the backstay already in place to limit has been rigged on the mast. Now will the mast from moving too far forward. “D” is the tackle to make this not only easier but be the moment to pull the remaining to give you more control. “E” is the hinge. If there is no hinge, you should have an extra clevis pins. This harness is normally crew person to keep the mast in line with the mast step. “F” is the tail from the tackle after rigged so that the mast is a little heavy at the foot so it will not come out of the it runs through a block, preferably with a cam cleat. www.48North.com

step or deck and turn upside down.

This means that when the mast is being lowered onto cradles or saw horses, it will come down foot first and may need to be lifted a little. This is usually taken care of by the boatyard personnel. Jib furling gear will take some special care, and, if you have someone to deal with that only, it will be helpful. With the mast on the dock, check that it is well supported. This will usually mean two supports 6’ to 10’ in from each end. If the mast has a splice where two sections of aluminum profile are fitted together with a sleeve somewhere in the middle of the mast, you will want to support it there as well. Remove or otherwise protect masthead instruments, lights, and antennas.

Putting up the rig is pretty much the reverse of the above. Getting the spreader angles right is helpful, but not critical. If you do not want to go up the mast after it is up, you will need to get tension on the uppers so that you can carefully measure and fix the spreader tips in place. Do not forget the mast boots.

Many prospective skippers ask, “Which is better: deck stepped or keel

stepped?” As with so many things in sailing, it is not so much about better as it is about different. Each has its pros and cons. In the end, if designed well, they will both give you many nautical miles under your keel. We have owned and sailed both and have never lost a mast over the side. However, on one occasion we lost all the starboard chain plates. The boat was keel stepped, and when all the starboard side support went, if the mast had been deck stepped it would have gone overboard.

The boat was well built and the cabin was never in danger, nor did the mast jump out of its well-designed step.

Having said that, when it rains, water does wind up in the bilge, and the mast boot needs to be kept in good condition (Figure 4, page 33).

As to the question of how much heat is lost up the mast on a cold day with the heater going, the answer is some, but not so much that you cannot heat the boat. If weight aloft is important to you, the deck stepped mast needs to have a 25% stronger mast section to equal the keel stepped mast in strength, so it’s the heavier choice of the two. Again, design matters most,

“Lady Washington” at Point Wilson Lighthouse

by James Williamson

and for a deck stepped mast, part of the design must be supporting the step so that the boat doesn’t distort.

Before you step your mast, traditional-minded mariners may consider whether or not to place a coin under the mast, as is customary. There seems to be a number of reasons for, or versions of, this tradition, but whether it is to pay the ferryman who takes you across the river after one’s inevitable demise or something else, most coins will react with aluminum. Thus, it is wise to seal them in something to isolate them.

We pull a lot of masts and so it seems like not a big deal, but if you have never done so, or you are understandably apprehensive, talk to the boatyard beforehand or get a rigger’s professional help. Whether it is climbing, stepping, or tuning a mast, we hope you will enjoy this allimportant part of your boat.

A

night time knockdown and a nearly uncontrolled genoa were the worst moments of TABU’s 567-mile transit from San Francisco Bay to Astoria, Oregon in late March 2014, the second leg of the boat’s delivery to its new Northwest home.

Jim and Michele Leonard knew they were getting a special boat when they bought Richard and Sheri Crowe’s 44’ Bruce Farr-designed performance cruiser last year.

Readers may recall the Crowes as the exceptional sailors who ran Orange Coast College’s Alaska Eagle until it returned to the Netherlands. At the end of summer 2013, Jim Leonard and friends brought TABU up the coast from her former Newport Beach, California homeport to winter over at Richmond, California’s Marina Bay. In the following months, Jim and Michele flew down from Seattle multiple times to prepare TABU for the next segment of her northerly transit. Their goal was to have TABU in Victoria, B.C. in time for the 2014 Swiftsure race.

Well-prepped and fully provisioned, TABU left San Francisco Bay the evening of Saturday, March22, with Jim at the helm with five volunteer crew. Their sailing directions were simple: go out the Gate, turn right, and keep going until Astoria.

But like every delivery, nothing was simple. Motor-sailing with a doublereefed main on her tall rig, TABU made good time into northwesterlies along the Marin, Sonoma, and Mendocino coasts. Staying 12 to 15 miles off-shore avoided both the larger sea swells and the lee shore, which allowed Jim and

Crescent City is halfway between San Francisco and Astoria, a good place to top up the diesel and water tanks from the friendly folks at Renner Petroleum

on Citizens Dock who stayed open until TABU arrived at 6:00pm. With nearly the efficiency of a NASCAR pit crew, Jim’s guys topped the tanks and headed back to sea before Monday evening’s sunset.

By late Monday night, even the reefed main was too much sail for the performance cruiser to carry.

After an all-hands exercise put the main securely on the boom, the boat continued northward under power.

The rotating watch bill kept two people tethered in the cockpit for three-hour night watches while the other four slept below. The nighttime routine of three-on-six-off switched to a daytime schedule of two-on-four-off. Each day the crew shifted watch partners, so there was never a chance for boredom.

The knockdown came early Tuesday morning with the skipper at the helm. “Look out! Hold on!” A large westerly swell rushed out of the darkness and, with just a second’s warning to the crew, TABU fell onto her 35

“TABU’s” owner, Jim Leonard, sails her the Golden Gate Bridge. starboard beam. Down only briefly, the boat slammed the water’s surface hard, popping a fixed window and its frame into cabin below. As the green hull righted, the stern yawed and water rushed through the open transom into the cockpit. With none of the companionway boards in place, water poured down the companionway and soaked the sleeping crew members.

The skipper’s 22-year old son, Patrick, woke to find the cabin window and its popped fitting in his lap. TABU’s bilge pumps worked as designed and there was no danger of sinking. But the boat’s damp interior made it hard for the crew to quickly jury-rig the window fitting and keep it from seeping water.

With Coos Bay the next safe harbor, Leonard and his crew rounded Oregon’s Cape Blanco and crossed the Coos River bar by 2 p.m. Tuesday. It had taken 68 hours to cover the nearly 400 miles from the Golden Gate to Coos Bay. Not long after they side-tied at the friendly Charleston Marina, the U.S. Coast Guard closed the Coos Bay entrance to all vessels. Effectively bottled up until conditions improved, the crew took advantage of the forced stop to make a stronger repair on 36

the damaged window, hang out wet sleeping bags, and dry their clothes.

Good meals from the boat’s ample lockers led to nearly 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep until Wednesday morning.

Wednesday continued as an enforced rest day but also offered the chance to talk with local crabbers and store keepers.

Rising at 2:00am Thursday, the skipper and crew huddled over the weather forecast and current bar conditions. It was clear that the southerly winds and rain were less severe than Tuesday, but that an even stronger weather front was approaching within days. To stay longer in Coos Bay would keep the boat in port until after the weekend.

Clearing the Coos Bay under entrance buoy at 4:00am Thursday, TABU motor-sailed into white-capped seas and westerly winds before shaping her course northwest again. Pounding parallel to the Oregon coast all day in winds above 20 knots, the boat ran between 6 and 9 knots, putting the crew near Newport by late afternoon, just 110 miles to Astoria. Newport represented the last good bail-out point before the Columbia River bar, so the crew had a

tense conversation with their skipper about how long it would take before the wind and rain would deteriorate into unsafe conditions. A consensus emerged that it was reasonable to push on after what international diplomats would have called “a frank and candid exchange of views.” No one looked back.

Jim changed the watch schedule for this final segment of his delivery, shifting to two watches with three men each. Each watch featured a strong driver; the skipper taking the helm on one watch and his brother, John, becoming the driver on the other watch. John Leonard was so steady, the crew nicknamed him “The Postman” because he always delivered. The Postman was steering through the dark early Friday morning when the furled genoa popped its restraining clips and started to unfurl.

The ballooning foresail drove the bow down to starboard in southwest winds that gusted into the high 30s, setting the boat towards the Oregon lee shore, 12 miles to the east. With pounding seas and wet decks, it was too dangerous to send even the most willing crew forward with additional sail ties. Using his racing experience, one of the quick moving crew winched the furling line tighter. Each time the flogging sail started to unroll again, he cranked the genoa back into itself.

Drying out in Coos Bay, Oregon, after the knockdown.

That out-and-in exercise continued for the next four hours. To have lost control of the genoa would have made it nearly impossible to maintain a steady heading. As Friday’s dawn broke around 7:00am, everyone was in the cockpit to watch the breaking whitecaps rise up behind The Postman who surfed TABU through and down the combined waves that reached 12 feet.

The Coos Bay and Newport decisions to continue with the delivery had placed the boat off of the Columbia River bar entrance buoy right on time - slack water after the ebb. A quick radio conversation with the Cape Disappointment Coast Guard station confirmed that the bar was still open to vessels over 40 feet in length. The morning flood tide was just beginning and the calculated risk had worked.

Starting at 8:00am, and with the skipper’s son reading the chart and calling bearings to his steering father, the crew picked their way from buoy to buoy, avoiding the Columbia’s dangerous jetty tips and lurking sandbars. Cold rain turned briefly to sleet, stinging faces and hiding the

Galley Essentials with Amanda Bev revives a kiss from birthday boy Robbie on his 70th birthday in Fiji.

I’ve been following Bev and Robbie cruising adventures since they first sailed with us aboard “Mahina Tiare” through Madeira and Azores in 2007.

Currently cruising Australia, Bev is a seasoned sailor with the following culinary secrets to share.

Spice is the variety of life!

I know most people think it’s the other way around. But in the galley on our Hylas 46, Mersoleil, it’s the spices that make Robbie’s and my cruising cuisine exciting, so much so, I’ve chosen four completely different recipes to illustrate how we use spices to create delicious meals.

Quality poultry features in cuisines the world over, which makes it a perfect mainstay for cruising sailors and the ubiquitous skinless, boneless chicken breast stars in each recipe. You probably have six of them in your freezer right now. Serve these chicken selections four days in a row and you’ll never hear the words, “Chicken? Again?”

Chicken Satays Most satay recipes call for skewering the meat before marinating. We’ve found this a more boat-friendly procedure.

1 large skinless, boneless chicken breast 8 bamboo skewers - soaked in water 1 tablespoon honey ¼ cup soy sauce 2 teaspoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground turmeric ½ teaspoon chili powder Pound chicken breasts flat, then slice into eight long strips 1” wide. Mix together marinade ingredients, add chicken and refrigerate 2 hours. Thread chicken onto skewers and broil or 38

Peanut Dipping Sauce: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ½ onion - finely chopped ½ cup chunky peanut butter 2 tablespoons soy sauce ½ cup coconut cream 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

Sonja’s Spice Rubbed Chicken This impressive dish is ridiculously simple, only takes thirty minutes, and never fails to produce remarkably moist and juicy chicken. Not a single drop of moisture escapes into the pan. I’m dying to know how it works! So far, I’ve decided it’s a miracle. Consider having your side dishes ready before placing the chicken in the oven!

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tablespoon ancho chili powder 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 teaspoon ground cumin 2 teaspoon brown sugar 2 teaspoons kosher salt ½ teaspoon black pepper Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the spices and coat chicken with mixture. Bake chicken covered, in a 10” pan, 20 minutes.

Remove to cutting board, tent with foil, let rest 5 minutes, slice and serve.

Moroccan Chicken Tagine This stew is a family favorite, based on a recipe from Gourmet Magazine in the Bev’s Satay with 1970s. While preparing this Peanut Dipping Sauce meal I find I must contain my enthusiasm. A few extra ingredients will overcrowd the pot! This fragrant and exotic tagine is more laborintensive than most of my cooking, but the spectacular colors, rave reviews, frequent recipe requests all keep it on Mersoleil’s menu.

1 cup celery including some leaves 1 onion - chopped

Mix in blender with remaining ingredients Serve in a glass container with a spoon, stirring oil before each serving.

For Robbie and me, part of the fun in cruising comes from experiencing the amazing cuisines of the lands we visit. As our spice collection grows, I’m learning new ways to combine and enjoy them.

Life is good!

Thai Spring Rolls Fresh spring rolls are pretty, festive, delicious and easier to prepare than you might think. I promise you’ll become skilled at this with practice! Make 3-4 per person to avoid disappointment - they disappear rapidly.

12 dried rice papers 2-½ ounce dried mung bean vermicelli (a good handful) 4oz chopped raw chicken 2 teaspoons sesame oil 4 garlic cloves - finely chopped 2” piece fresh ginger - finely chopped soy sauce 12 fresh Thai basil or mint leaves 1 small carrot - julienned 1 teaspoon finely chopped hot chili pepper 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce Heat sesame oil in a frying pan and sauté chicken with garlic, ginger and soy sauce to taste. Don’t be timid: filling should be flavorful. Let cool. Heat 3” of water, in a frying pan larger than your rice papers, to a temperature as hot as your hands can tolerate. Place vermicelli in a bowl and add a third of the hot water. Drain after ten minutes and snip vermicelli into 2” lengths. Spread out

a dampened tea towel on your work surface. Place a rice paper into hot water for a few seconds until soft. Remove, shaking the excess water back into pan, then lay it on the tea towel. Onto the rice paper place a tablespoon of chicken, centered one third of the distance from the top (the point furthest away). Top with an equal amount of vermicelli, a few carrot strips, a basil leaf, a sprinkle chili and a drizzle of chili sauce. To prevent your hand sticking to the rice paper, dip the back of one hand, especially your index finger into the hot water.

Fold the sides in so they overlap in the center, leaving finished roll 2½” wide.

Roll up a parcel, bringing top edge of the rice paper towards you, compressing filling as you roll. Use your wet finger to hold the filling. Repeat with remaining papers. Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

The AquaDrive system solves a problem nearly a century old; the fact that marine engines are installed on soft engine mounts and attached almost rigidly to the propeller shaft.

The very logic of AquaDrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating

on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement. Tests proved that the AquaDrive with its softer engine mountings can reduce vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% or more. For information, call Drivelines NW today.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

Kids on board: Planning for Friends Newly arrived in Taiohae, Nuku Hiva, Totem’s anchor dropped after a short passage between Marquesan islands. A couple of dozen cruising boats lay in the harbor below lush green peaks. We worked on deck, tidying Totem, while the kids soaked in the new view. A dinghy zipped by with a family on board, and between sailboat and tender there was a flash of awareness, “Hey, they have kids too!” After their rapid U-turn to make introductions, a few minutes later we found ourselves with three additional junior crew for the afternoon.

Cruising friendships happen differently, and not just because it seems perfectly normal to leave your children with people who were strangers mere minutes before. Peer company for kids can be scarce. It’s natural to jump at an opportunity for company, yet that company can be elusive. A friend mused on a forum

recently whether their experience this past season, spending three months in the Bahamas and encountering exactly zero kid boats, was typical.

They were disappointed not to have had playmates for their three-year-old boy. Based on responses, there were plenty of kid boats in the Bahamas; the problem was finding them. This new-to-cruising family had expected they’d simply bump into others, and struck out. Cruising families can’t rely on chance encounters with other kid boats as a basis for their children’s social circle. Ensuring you’ll be around others, especially boats with kids in a similar age range, benefits from advance planning. It wouldn’t have taken much effort to come up with a route informed by when and where the kid boats gather, or connect with a few in advance through Facebook groups and forums to up the odds. They just didn’t know.

Whether it’s other cruising kids or meeting locals, finding friends is essential to a well balanced cruising life for families aboard.

We didn’t appreciate this need to anticipate family boats at first, either.

Sailing down the west coast to Mexico is a pretty linear north-south path. If there’s a kid boat along the way, you’ll probably meet them. Other boats you encounter appreciating the value of connecting families are quick to pass along word about other families in the general area fleet. An announcement of “kids aboard!” on the morning VHF net will surface others, as will knocking on the hull of any boat you think might have children. Some join rallies to find other families, but it’s unnecessary. In Pacific Mexico, an engaged family boat can quickly connect the dots to a pile of kids and community. A rally merely shortcuts to the first introductions.

By contrast, families who depart from the US east coast have more dispersed routes and thus more of a challenge. There are many ways to get from the US to the Caribbean. And then, for those that make a common first step from Florida to the Bahamas, there are a myriad of departure points and paths through the Bahamas. The silver lining for the Bahamas-bound family was that their son found a number of local playmates while they island-hopped.

It’s generally more difficult to do this, but can open the door to valuable experiences. Had they been with other cruising families, they may not have been pushed to make this effort and missed the unique reward.

In the six-month-path that’s taken us from South Africa to the far opposite corner of the Atlantic, Totem’s pace and path made syncing up with other kid boats unlikely. And possibly that’s exactly why Mairen and Siobhan quickly made friends with a couple of Bermudian girls during our stay, which opened experiences and understanding about Bermuda that may have eluded us otherwise. Having company for our kids adds another factor to route planning, since places we want to cruise are weighed with what we know about other kid boats that may be around. It’s a consideration the majority of non-kid-cruisers never have to think about when ruminating about where they d like to travel next.

Friends in Mexico made what felt to us like the very dramatic decision to change plans from their intended path to transit the Panama canal and cross the Atlantic. A number of the boat kids their son had connected with were South Pacific bound - the company of friends for their child outranked their desire to cruise the Med. So, they did a 180 and joined us to point to French Polynesia instead. This is a no brainer choice to me now, but as a new cruiser or a pre-cruiser it wasn’t obvious at all.

They’d already been out for a few years (and a few tens of thousands of miles); they got it.

It’s not hard to anticipate connecting with kid boats, whether you’re a weekend/holiday sailor or committed long-term cruiser. Before we left Bainbridge Island, whether we were off for a summer vacation of boating in the San Juans or just a weekend away from the dock, it was more fun for everyone when we planned to buddy-boat with another family. Locally, a yacht club is a great way to shortcut introductions: most of our sailing plans in Puget Sound were

“Cruising friendships happen differently, and not just because it seems perfectly normal to leave your children with people who were strangers mere minutes before.” with one or another of the families we first met through the Seattle Yacht Club.

Regional or special interest Facebook groups, like Women Who Sail/Puget Sound, are another way to identify and connect with other boating families.

When planning more distant travels, identify hubs where cruisers gather on your anticipated path and find out when they hit a seasonal peak (like La Paz, Mexico in November or Puerto Vallarta in January; Georgetown, Bahamas in December or Prickly Bay, Grenada in June). On Facebook, Kids4Sail helps family boats connect with each other by sharing plans in advance, then staying in touch to intersect. We’ve added a

www.48North.com

July 2016

page of rolling blog updates sharing the latest news from more than 100 cruising families, all over the world, to SailingTotem.com (under Voyaging With Kids > Blogging families Afloat).

Reach out to a family in a place you plan to visit, and in the spirit of mutual aid common to the cruising tribe, they’ll almost certainly help with ideas, information, or contacts.

During the months preparing to cross the Indian Ocean, we connected with as many kid boats in the region as we could find, actively sharing our plans and our hope that others would be in loose company. It’s still amazing to me that this resulted in a season hanging out with more than 15 kids between six boats in a region that’s significantly less traveled. But, it really doesn’t matter if you re pointing to Madagascar or Maple Bay: with a modicum of effort, you’ll find company for your kids.

Corinthian Yacht Club

P.O.D. Regatta

orinthian Yacht Club hosted the C PNW One Design (POD) Regatta on May 21 & 22, running two courses

out of Shilshole. The north course featured the “big boats.” A Melges 24 is a big boat, right? The south course had the dinghies and Star fleet. Sixty boats showed up to play, with sailors from as far as Montana, San Diego, Canada, and throughout Washington state. Saturday was fun, but Sunday was the A-game Varsity sailing day of the weekend. It was truly just about the most fun you could have with your clothes on (it’s not the NOOD anymore, people!). Even a pod of Grey whales showed up on the courses Sunday morning, capping off what was already an epic weekend.

Saturday morning on the north course featured dumping rain and a light breeze. Bring a dry bag and put on your warm gear, because it could be a long one. Light breeze turned lighter, but the rain gave way and the tide turned, and PRO Charlie Rathkopf wisely moved the north course to the south for more breeze, where they managed to pull off three more races along the breakwater in a gradually building afternoon breeze.

With an 11' tide exchange, picking out a good “river” was just as important as finding the most pressure on the course.

Sunday morning couldn’t have contrasted Saturday more, with sun and breeze right out of the gate.

Planning and preparation are keys to getting your game on in dinghies and sport boats - you can’t head out on the water with your entire inventory of sails. The wind was about as consistent as you could hope for, and far more epic than ever expected in late May on Puget Sound. In the lightest of the lulls, there was around 10 knots of breeze, and the heaviest consistent breeze was about 20 knots.

Some stinger puffs rolled through and resulting in a yard sale for the crews who weren’t looking back and weren’t expecting it. Yet totally launched the boats who were ready for it. The breeze held all day, right up until we hauled out. By the time most of us were up at the clubhouse, the wind machine ran out and the rain poured down, rinsing off all the salt. Perfection!

In the Melges 24 fleet, Mikey dominated the top spot with their mind-altering level of boat preparation, crew work, and intel.

Fortunately for us, owner Kevin Welch was more than willing to share (some!) secrets. In the second spot was Good Enough, with Port Madison Yacht Club alumni Matt MacGregor on the helm and Keith Hammer seen directing the downwind show from the backstay. And boy did they put on a show on the run! Finishing off the podium was the ever-competitive Trophy Wife, driven by Glenn Klute.

J/Boats showed up at POD in force. The J/105 fleet featured the true big boats of the regatta. Last Tango won the last race of the regatta to eke out a series win over the up-andcoming More Jubilee syndicate, and then Commodore Dierk’s Delirium. In the J/80 fleet, Dave Schutte owned the top spot with Taj Mahal, followed by a near three-way tie between Stellar J, Jolly Green, and Underdog. The J/24 fleet had just a few boats but many familiar faces of both fleet members and big boat sailor recruits. Bravo Zulu crewmembers were scattered throughout the fleet. Hair of the Dog overcame first day jitters to pull off a string of Sunday bullets and hoisted the “Beware of Dog” battle flag of victory for the weekend. Not unlike the previous J/boat fleet, a near threeway tie followed. Suspense, Habanero, and Flyer swapped finish positions

all day to nearly tie for the regatta.

This fleet boasted the sailors which traveled the greatest distance, with Pete Sauer of Flyer and Matt Gibbs of Super G making the trek from Flathead Lake, Montana.

In the Grace and Style Division, three Six Meters raced with some well-traveled crew and a Protector to chase and tow them around in safe luxury. Team Ullman on the Arunga finished on top, followed by the beautiful navy blue Frenzy, with our personal one-woman cheering section on board, the lovely Sarah Raymoure.

Dave Linger ’s St Francis V rounded out the fleet.

On the south course, the boat to be on was the sporty and technical

“On Sunday, the 505 fleet freed up and the boats were ripping. Sunshine and breeze, with the gas pedal down,” said Colin Dunphy, who was driving Crunchy Vegetables, “it was a wet but smoking fast ride. The board came unglued from the water and the boat came alive.”

505. Leading the way was the team of married awesomeness that is Carol and Carl Buchan on Yellow Jacket. Also, even though he only sailed in two races, the Buchans’ son-in-law, Dalton Bergen, managed to finish on top in the two races he sailed on Sunday.

Just two points behind Team Buchan were Mats Elf and Jon Henderson on Good Times, and then Lee Laney and Mike Powell out of Bellingham with the Miami Vise. Even from a great distance, and with our own hands full, you could tell that this fleet was hauling the mail. After a 10 race series, the 505 racers were ready to take on North Americans in Bellingham in less than two weeks.

A handful of Star boats came out to play. Derek Decoteau won the weekend, with Dave Watt in second place after only racing in five out of

nine starts. Gear failure kept some of the usual suspects in the dry yard instead of on the water, but they were all still smiling on Sunday afternoon.

Last, but not least, was the new RS Aero class, with nine boats on the line.

Medals went to Dan Falk, David Brink and Scott Malone. They were fast on the course and even faster on the road, we didn’t even get to cheer for them.

Cheers, guys! CYC will host the next one design regatta in the fall. If you missed this one, you missed out!

July 2016

I asked around for help finding experienced crew, knowing that it is a very technical boat compared to my own.

Everyone I talked to made thoughtful suggestions about crew and boat prep.

None of the girls on board are my regular crew, and two I had never even met!

Nonetheless, they agreed to sail with me!

My take-away’s from the weekend: Take a risk! Accept an invitation! If you have never sailed with a women’s team it’s worth trying out, while there is the same potential for challenges and successes as any other crew, there is a different vibe on board.

There is now a Monday and Thursday women’s sailing group out of Corinthian Yacht Club. If you are part of a one design fleet and you aren’t going to take out your boat, consider offering it to someone who you think might enjoy it.

Blake Island Race

J

une 4th brought out all the wind and sun gods you could ask for in early June. A fitting end to a typically fitful series of circling three islands and waters that can be, well entertaining to say the least.

The breeze was as predicted to be 10 to 20 from the north, downwind start, with the tides set up, it was pretty predictable which way most boats were going to round. From the view on board Glory, we had a great race going with Smoke, the other TP 52 in the IRC class.

The breeze increased as we went across the Sound to the west, full ebb running, really nowhere to hide. These boats can make up a lot of territory with just a couple of knots more wind, taking the tide component completely out of the game plan. So our goal was to stay in the most breeze which was to the west, but

not all the way to the Bainbridge Island.

Keeping Blake to starboard we ran into the ebb coming out of Colvos Passage. Once past that and into the lighter air on the backside wind shadow, we used the hydraulic push up the west side of the island to get around. Smoke took a wider approach. I think everything came out about even. I only saw one or two boats attempt to round the island to port, probably not a good year for that!

Once around, sheet in and go home.

A good steady 18 knots the whole way back leading Smoke by a couple of minutes, Glory did the course in just a shade over two and a half hours - had to go back to the house and mow the lawn there was so much time left! I am sure I was not the only one with that issue Blake Island is the last in the series, a short, but rewarding race. One has to

be careful to not lose the series to move up. Jim Marta and his Eye Candy crew did just that in protecting their lead in the gaining momentum IRC fleet. The smallest and slowest rated boat in an otherwise “big boat” perceived fleet had impressive wins in the first two races and held on for a third in Blake Island, for the overall win in IRC. Of course between all of Jim’s crew, I am sure they have a combined 350 years of sailing in these waters….maybe more!

In class 2, John Murkowski’s J-122e took the honors for Blake Island, but the winningest boat in Puget Sound was Bill Weinstein’s, Terremoto, which took Class 2 overall for the series.

In the hotly contested Class 3, Jim Hinz took Blake Island and the overall for Class 3, in his J/120, Hinzite. Chris Johnson’s, With Grace, shows there is competition in the J/120s here in Seattle.

Class 4 seemed to have one boat, looks like they won, but the results are still coming in…

Class 5, Charles Hill’s big Wauquiez 40, Different Drummer, managed to hold off, or squash, a boat that weighs one tenth what DD weighs - Brad Butlers Uno - and his world renowned swim team on board, for the Blake Island win and overall in class.

Class 6, the J/105 one design fleet has Jim Geros’s Last Tango again leading the fleet this year, with Lance Rummel, rising through the ranks, ending up second thanks to Jerry Diercks having a larger lawn than me to mow and missing Blake Island.

In Class 7, Iain Christianson’s Dash 34, Izakaya, took the Blake Island win home and with it the overall for series.

Class 8 had a fierce battle with Jim Medley’s, Puffin, just beating out the Pro crew assembled on Bill Boyeson’s J-42, Jiminy.

Finally, Class 9 had Phil Calvert and his well traveled Norlin 34, Runaway, take the win at Blake. Rumor has it the other members of Class 9 are taking up a collection to get Phil and his crew a bigger, newer boat to give someone else a chance in that class.

fter just finishing my 47th Swiftsure, it seems right to reflect on this major Northwest sailing event and why, to me, it has remained a renewed challenge each spring.

The race has a long history and tradition. It commenced in 1930 with six entries, starting at Cadboro Bay rounding the lightship on Swiftsure Bank and finishing at Victoria. Only three boats finished. There were only four entries and one finisher in each of the next races, 1931 and 1934. The race became dormant but revived after World War II in 1947 with 15 entries and it grew in popularity attaining as many as 200 or more participants by the late 70’s. A few of the races were started at Port Townsend which added about 30 miles to a normal beat to windward and that long course was abandoned in favor of the start at Victoria in 1951 where it has remained ever since. A race for smaller boats to Clallam Bay, measuring about half the distance to the Bank, was begun in 1962. Very light wind and a large ground swell occurred in a couple of the Swiftsure

46

Races in the early 1980’s causing a great deal of sea sickness and a diminished interest in sailing to Swiftsure Bank. Royal Victoria Yacht Club came close to abandoning the Swiftsure Race in 1984. The Cape Flattery Race was introduced in 1985 to allow competitors to avoid the ocean sailing and since has drawn the majority of competitors.

For many years the fleet was composed of custom wood boats.

Growing up in Seattle on the edge of Portage Bay, these boats became well known to me. There were schooners like Swiftsure and Red Jacket, yawls

like Adios, Maruffa and the famous Dorade, sloops like Alatola and ketches like Westward Ho. Stock boat designs came into the fleet in the 1950’s like Phil Smith’s PCC Gossip and Herb Day’s K-38 Ono. Unlike most racing on the East Coast or California, Swiftsure is conducted in a strait bounded by mountains and subject to strong tidal currents. The average wind conditions are as a result of a west to northwest inflow accelerated in the central strait and a thermal wind increasing in the afternoon as the heat rises from the land. Southeast winds are largely blocked by the Olympics.

The start line is always Navigation could a challenge, especially be difficult in the races when it involves a after 1961 when the Coast Naval Ship as Guard retired its lightship, committe boat. replaced by a Canadian Navy vessel with lights, but no longer 100,000 candle power. In the beginning, we took compass bearings on Tatoosh and Carmanah lights and with a radio direction finder to fix our position. Up until the mid 1980’s electronic navigation was banned. Now it is required. In the 1981 race, we got around the mark

ahead of most of the fleet when fog swept in with the westerly causing a confusion for the boats astern.

My first Swiftsure was in 1963 on Bush Albiston’s K-38, Excalibur (so named, because after grounding, it had been withdrawn from the rock.)

There were 65 entries that year and we placed 14th overall just behind Bill Buchan Sr.’s Mara. I sailed as crew or skipper of a number of boats after that, including my Atkin cutter African Star, Ragtime, Merlin, Climax, Midnight Special, Blue Marlin and my Night Runner after she was built in 1980.

Each race has been different but there are some that are memorable.

At the 1971 start, eight boats were dismasted shortly after the start Previous page: John Buchan's “Glory” heads out into tbe Straits past Race Rocks Lighthouse.

including Bruce Hedrick’s Six Pack.

In 1976 I was on Ragtime and we had a light southeast wind in the strait.

The radio was reporting 55 knots southeast at Estevan. Just west of Slip Point a southerly began to spill over the Olympics. Ragtime was fast and by the time we were abeam of the Cape we were shortened down to a # 4 jib and three reefs in the main. It was the largest sea I have ever seen at Juan de Fuca’s entrance with seas running 15 feet. In the same race Native Dancer got too close to shore in the breakers at Bonilla Point and her skipper was washed out of the cockpit and drowned. Jon Tonan was with him in the cockpit and also washed overboard but was wearing a wet suit and managed to swim through the www.48North.com

surf to the beach where he found his boat and the surviving crew.

Another dramatic incident occurred in 1979. I was sailing on Jim Williams’ Cal 40 Blue Marlin. We were short tacking the American shore just east of Pillar Point when we sighted Bill Hester’s Zuben Ubi IV close aboard and very low in the water. She was sinking fast and her crew abandoned to their life raft, some without wallets or car keys, in the urgent conditions.

Watching Zuben Ubi point her stern to the sky and slide into the foam was like the last line of Moby Dick as

the “great shroud of the sea” closed over her. We picked up the crew who were in visible shock and took them to Victoria. Dorade, on port tack, had struck and holed her on a crossing situation.

This years race had no such drama. Only 14 boats had entered for the Swiftsure Race (now called the Swiftsure Lightship Classic), though nearly 200 boats participated in the various other races (including the inshore events). On Night Runner we were able to get a good start in about 10 knots of a light easterly and set a

double head rig for a tight reach. As the wind got lighter we went outside Race Passage to avoid the rocks as the current was setting us southwest at four knots. The wind was trying to work around the Olympics and was reported 25 knots southeast at Point Wilson and light westerly at the Cape.

By the time we got to Pillar Point we hit a convergence zone and what lead we had on our class vanished. From there it was working to windward in light to nonexistent breeze until we rounded at 0552 for a good run home to finish 3rd in class, but well behind Hana Mari who took first. One very interesting aspect to the race was the performance of Longboard, a Bieker designed 35' ultralight that rounded the mark ahead of Rage and Cassiopia who each owed Longboard about forty minutes. Longboard went on to correct overall by more than an hour over the next boat Medusa. Boat design has indeed made advances.

There were 18 entries in the Hein Bank race, won by Jason Rhodes, and 69 entries in the Cape Flattery race.

Eric Jesperson, who had topped the growing fleet of four TP52s, was first overall and Charles Hill was first in the heavy class of 32 entries. Still the total participation is slightly more than half of the hey days of the 70’s and early 80’s. The race is somewhat more serious in my observation, with less partying in the fleet, and certainly less ashore than when street dances led to wreckage, riots and arrests.

Royal Victoria Yacht Club and its chair Vern Burkhardt have done a splendid job of keeping the event alive to meet the changing times. The introduction of the satellite-based Tracking System has made a spectator sport for those ashore which has increased overall interest.

Sometimes I’m asked which race I have entered of the four now offered on Memorial Day Weekend and my response is “The Swiftsure Race, there’s only one of those.” Why go to the Bank? In my view, because it is a 25 mile round trip on the ocean, arguably the most difficult and challenging leg. Certainly the race of the longest tradition.

The Victoria Day long weekend brought the local sailing fraternity together for the annual Round Saltspring race hosted by the Saltspring Island Sailing Club. Ninety-nine boats started the event from all across the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island.

Participants woke all too early, after an evening of carousing at the Friday night lamb BBQ and were greeted with overcast skies and hardly a breath of wind.

By the time the skippers meeting arrived, a slight breeze had developed down the harbour and a clockwise direction was announced for the 42NM race around the Island.

At 10:00am, with the skippers and race committee all set up for a downwind spinnaker start. The wind suddenly shifted 180° and start one took off on time, as a beat to windward, with the tail end of an ebb tide aiding progress out of the harbour.

As boats headed south, winds got lighter and by Beaver Point the ebb turned to a flood, making progress around the bottom of Island a challenge. Thankfully, the predicted weather front finally arrived around 1:00 pm and the southeast wind picked up to 10 knots and the fleet was carried around Cape Keppel for a spinnaker run into Samson Narrows on the flooding tide.

By 4:00 pm the big boat course, Valkyrie, a TP52, and Westerly, a Santa Cruz 70, had rounded Southey Point and were beating down Trincomali channel in blustery 15-20 knot winds.

The rest of the fleet followed over the next few hours with many boats overpowered and forced to reef mainsails to maintain control in the uncomfortable choppy water.

Winds continued to build and after seeing bursts of 20-25 knot winds at Nose Point, Gavin Brackett’s

Valkyrie, screamed down Ganges Harbour under spinnaker to finish at 5:49pm, closely followed

by Stuart Dahlgren’s, Westerly. Over the next four hours most of the fleet crossed the finish line and by 10:30pm only one boat was still out there. The intrepid Effervescence 1, a Cooper 416, finally finishing, after experiencing wind gusts up to 50 knots, at nearly midnight.

Amazingly for the first time in many years and maybe for only the third time in 43 years of the race, all competing boats finished before midnight, well before the 10:30 am Sunday cut-off time.

After an unexpected full night’s sleep, skippers and crew enjoyed a pancake breakfast provided by the Saltspring Lion’s Club as they waited for the results to be tallied.

The overall winner on corrected time and winner of the Marshall Sharp Trophy was Mischief, a Melges 32 skippered by ex-Olympian Eric Jesperson from SNSYC, followed by Willo The Wisp, a Peterson 42 from RoyalVicYC, and Jackrabbit, a CM1200 from CFSA in third.

Winner of the Doug Thomas Trophy for fastest SISC boat was Electra, an Aphrodite 101, skippered

by Roger Kibble competing in his 38th Round Saltspring Race.

Winners received gift baskets of local Saltspring products and prizes donated by our generous donors and sponsors.

The 2016 Round Saltspring will go down as one to be remembered, with a great turnout from skippers around the region, ideal weather and great sailing conditions for the disparate fleet of boats.

At the skippers’ meeting on Saturday, Anacortes Mayor Laurie Gere welcomed the visiting sailors.

She said, “The City of Anacortes and the Anacortes Yacht Club are both celebrating our 125 anniversary this year. We have a strong maritime history and we are glad to see young sailors carrying on that tradition.”

Over the weekend, 82 races were completed in a series of flights that pitted each school against each other. Teams rotated through the fleet of 24 CFJs boats to ensure no advantage to any one crew. Also two courses were run simultaneously for Varsity and Junior Varsity teams which meant more support boats and umpire boats buzzing about the bay.

Team Racing involves a more complicated strategy than traditional one design fleet racing. Two teams of three boats race each other depending on the order of finish, the team with the best results wins that flight. This made an exciting spectacle as individual boats used cunning and diversionary tactics to jockey for position on the race course.

To help stage the event on Fidalgo Bay, the Veteran, a 90 year old fishing boat owned by Nick Fahey, resident of Anacortes, stood by with a floating dock to help transfer sailors and dinghies at the end of each race. Fahey said “The young sailors were kind to the old girl and treated her pretty gently.”

After completing the regular rotation of races, a round robin of the top four boats was raced. Winning the District Championship entitled the top team to race at the National Baker Cup regatta, held in Anacortes over Memorial weekend.

Of the 12 teams competing for the NWISA gold class trophy the Varsity winner was Sehome, with Bainbridge Island taking home the runner ’s up prize. The Junior Varsity fleet was won by STEM Engineering, of Bellingham. The Sportsmanship Award for the Year went to Olympia High School.

he St. George Dragons, from T Middletown, RI, made a clean sweep to take the title in the National

High School Team Racing Baker Cup. Blustery conditions on Fidalgo Bay did not deter the Rhode Island sailors who blew away their competition finishing 11-0 at the end of two days of team racing.

Twelve district champions from all over the United States convened in Anacortes for the annual ISSA National regatta.

The visitors were lulled into a false sense of security with perfect wind conditions during Friday’s practice races - calm seas and 8 -10 knot of steady breeze.

They awoke Saturday morning to small craft advisory warnings with wind from the southeast at 16-18, with gusts over 24 knots. The waters of Fidalgo bay were wild and foamy with a sea state that made handling the 14' dinghies a challenge for the two person crews.

Races were started then abandoned after multiple boats capsized and sailors were dumped into the frigid waters. Around midday it looked like things had calmed, but once the fleet of 24 boats were out on the water, the wind once again picked up to over 20 knots necessitating a second postponement for safety www.48North.com

reasons. Finally, later in the afternoon, winds settled back down to a more manageable 14 - 16 knots and 32 races were knocked off before wrapping up for the day.

S u n d a y ’ s r a c i n g p re s e n t e d different challenges. The promising early morning southeast wind slowly shifted and backed to a very light

and variable easterly. Principal Race Officer, Jay Renahan, did well to keep the sequences going and was able to complete the entire rotation of 66 races before the wind totally died.

No matter what the conditions, the St. George team dominated the regatta displaying outstanding seamanship and smart tactics. There were hard fought races for the runner up positions with California teams Newport Harbor and Point Loma placing second and third respectively.

505 North American Championship

The 505 class came to Bellingham for their annual North American Championship in June and the sailors were rewarded with some of the Northwest’s finest sailing conditions and some spectacular scenery. The event was hosted by the Bellingham Yacht Club and was superbly organized by the local 505 fleet, led

by Mike Poulos. In addition to great representation from the Northwest, teams from across the US and Canada made the trek, including a container of boats from the East Coast and a strong contingent from California.

The racing started off on the first day with a good southwesterly that built to about 15 knots. 505s have always been a group to set their own course and one of the unique features of the class at its major championships is the “gate start” which does away with the traditional starting line 52

and the potential for multiple general recalls, getting people racing quickly and fairly. The gate start consists of a “rabbit” boat (for most races, the seventh place finisher in the previous race), followed by an inflatable about two boat lengths behind, which crosses behind the start buoy on port tack within a few seconds of the starting signal. The rest of the fleet ducks the stern of the inflatable as close as possible as it crosses them, while trying not to hit it, which means disqualification from race. It can be a good deal to be the rabbit if you want to go to the right side of the course, as you get a bit of a head start!

At the end of the first day’s three races, Mike Martin/Adam Lowry from St. Francis YC posted two bullets, however Riley Gibbs/ R e e v e D u n n e f ro m Alamitos Bay YC had taken the lead with

consistent finishes. Avoiding bad races was a hallmark of their performance throughout the regatta. At 19 years old, Riley was one of a number of younger and newer members of the class, which also included a good group from the Northwest. At the other end of the spectrum, the class can look to amazing loyalty from some of its members with a number of the competitors having been in the class for over 40 years.

Day one’s racing saw cloudy skies and the wind from the southwest.

Then for the following three days, the breeze settled in from the northwest and the skies cleared up, giving the

sailors a few more shifts to play with and great views of Mt. Baker to admire.

Day two saw Riley/Reeve continue to lead, while Howard Hamlin/Jeff Nelson from Southern California and East Coast sailors Tyler Moore/Rob Woelfel made their moves to be near the top. They continued to mix it up at the top on the third day, while Martin/Lowry made another move with two more race wins.

On the fourth and final day, the winds lightened up and the race committee, led by Principal Race Officer John Pedlow, who had done an excellent job getting the most out of the conditions all week, managed to get one last race off. The top five remained unchanged after the final race, with Northern California’s Mike Holt/Carl Smit off a recent win at the Europa Cup in France rounding out the group.

505s in the Northwest have seen good growth over the past several years and the boat continues to attract new sailors. In addition to

the great camaraderie that is enjoyed in the class, the 505 is simply a joy to sail and when the conditions are like they were on Bellingham Bay, everyone is a winner. The boat is sailed competitively by men and women over a wide range of sizes and ages, who have all experienced

what Paul Elvstrom meant when he said, “The 505 is really my favorite class because it is so lively and responsive in all types of wind and sea conditions. ...after having sailed all types of dinghy and all types of keelboat I would like to tell you that no other boat is able to give one so much pleasure as this one.”

Tacoma Yacht Club’s

Summer Vashon Race

A warm and windy day in the Northwest…how often does that happen? Tacoma Yacht Club’s Summer Vashon Race, on June 4th, offered perfect conditions for a quick trip around Vashon Island, but racers still had to contend with a few “challenges” to bring this remarkable race to completion. With a forecast of winds out of the north at 15 knots, building to 25, the day held the potential for a great race clockwise around the island. The trip for the 14 big boats would also be aided by the ever present northern push of the Colvos Passage current.

Competitors were met in the morning with flags flying and short sleeve temperatures with conditions that looked just about perfect for a sailboat race. The cruising classes

the turn at the north end. The Cal 20 fleet experienced a general recall and subsequent good start, followed by shifting light winds until they made it just south of Maury Island. Once the Cal 20s got there, they found very favorable conditions on a tack almost directly to the mark.

Numerous boats made the trip back to TYC in record time, although the winds lightened considerably as the boats entered Commencement Bay. One of the challenges facing competitors was the strong tidal push driving boats to the right of the finishing mark. This tide gave quite a few of the racers a hard time making the finish, particularly in very light and patchy air near the mark.

The Friday Night Sail/Fest returns to Shilshole Bay. This is a free fun event for all sailors. Bring your friends, your business associates, kids and kid’s friends for a fun filled evening on the water and ashore.

After the fun race/sail everyone is invited to the the Shilshole Bay Marina Plaza at the head of I dock for free hot dogs, beer, wine, sodas and the famous Sail/Fest Raffles.

Bring the kids, there is no telling what prizes might be waiting for them.

The racing is designed for everyone to come out and sail for fun.

No ratings, just show up for a sail.

There will be three starts: fast boats, not as fast boats and dinghies. First start is at 1900 hrs and subsequent starts at 1905hrs and 1910hrs.

Only three rules: 1) HAVE FUN, 2) NO COLLISIONS 3) RULES OF THE ROAD Supported by: Sail Northwest, Seattle Sailing Club, 48 North, CYC of Seattle, Trident Funding, CSR Marine, Maritime Pacific Brewing and Shilshole Bay Marina.

For more information call Sail Northwest at (206) 286-1004 or email: sales@sailnorthwest.com

The Annual Shaw Classic is the high point of summer sailing activities in the San Juan Islands. The race starts and finishes in Friday Harbor. The course permits rounding Shaw Island either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

A navigation challenge, currents, winds and projected boat speed must be factored into an equation to determine which way to round the island.

Check: www.sjiyc.com

Northern Century Regatta August 19-21 Prepare yourselves for 100 (or 50) miles of epic racing in and around the San Juan Islands! The N100 has historically been a race for double handers, but there is an option for fully crewed and a shorter double handed version of 50 miles. For the adventurous sort doing the full 100, the course is very open to creativity with the only required marks being the Pt. Roberts and Hein Bank buoys. How you decide to get there is up to you, just be sure to round both on the port side. Finish line is back in the Guemes Channel in front of Washington Park.

swiftsure yachts The logbook for July 2016 As the Gulf Stream squall overtook us with 50 knot winds and driving rain, I gave thanks to the fact that I was aboard this capable 2003 Hallberg-Rassy 53.

The June trip from Fort Lauderdale to Norfolk with three of us aboard gave opportunity to appreciate the comforts and capabilities of Mia Bella Principessa. Electric winches and hydraulic furlers on the mainsail, headsail and staysail allowed the lone watchstander to safely handle sails from the center cockpit with hard dodger and bimini; “pushbutton sailing” at its best. Down below, the off watch cooked up bountiful meals in the large passageway galley. This marque world cruising boat has all the desirable Hallberg-Rassy options including: teak interior, aft centerline queen berth, air conditioning, diesel heat, dinghy davits and more. Mia Bella Principessa is well found and seriously for sale. She epitomizes Hallberg-Rassy’s respected ocean cruising sailboats. – pete mcgonagle
