Time to Think of Sailing Like Television? When I find myself having a recurring conversation with sailors, that’s often pretty good fodder for this page. The latest discussion-on-repeat seeks to understand sailing by considering it through the prism of the modern television market. This conversation started at the recent meeting of the yacht clubs who help us put out the Seattle Area Racing Calendar (SARC) in the January issue. That meeting is full of movers and shakers from all over the PNW - from Portland to Bellingham. If there’s a group of people more invested in increasing sailing participation in the PNW than these folks, perhaps you could introduce me! The flip side of this is that this is also a group who palpably feel the effects if racing participation is down. It’s a concern from a yacht club budget standpoint, but it’s also a concern about the well-being of a sport that we love. If a regatta used to have 100 boats and now it has 30, can the club afford to put it on? What can we do better? How can a club organizer feel as though they’re delivering on their herculean efforts? The most important question, to me, is: how do we define success for sailing events in 2019? That’s what made me think about television. Somehow, someway, TV producers have re-envisioned what success looks like, even though in our lifetimes, the number of channels has gone from 3 to 37 to 900. A smash hit TV show 30 or 40 years back would have had viewership in the tens of millions. During the early era of cable TV, those numbers started to be cut in half. Today, a very successful TV show might draw fewer than one million viewers (even fewer for a successful streaming show or YouTube channel). The pie is no smaller, but each slice certainly is. The folks behind TV have had to redefine success in the modern market, and it would be helpful if sailing could do the same. There are, undoubtedly, more opportunities to go sailing today than ever. Every year at the SARC meeting, there are new events added to the calendar more ways to serve specific sailing populations, geographic areas, and sailing interests. We often talk about sailing participation being down as a given. In our region... I’m not convinced. On any summer week, just in Seattle alone, you might find 60 boats out for the Sloop Tavern Ballard Cup on Monday, 100 boats at Duck Dodge and another 25 J/24s at Leschi on Tuesday, there might be 50 boats out for CYC Wednesdays between the Sound and the Lake, Thursday might have 100 boats out for the casual Elliott Bay Series and another 20 boats out at CYC, and Friday night might have 40 boats out for a Friday Night Sailfest. That’s almost 400 boats in a week! So, when I hear someone bemoan that such-and-such regatta used to have 200 boats, while that clearly sounds like a blast, I think about those 400 boats on the water on a summer week in Seattle and feel much better. Here’s the other thing about those regatta registrations of old... There used to be a lot more small boats out sailing the big events with crews of five or fewer. There are still some great fleets racing in smaller boats, but there are also a lot more boats that require a lot more people. At SYC Grand Prix in October, there were only five boats in the ORC class. That sounds like a small class until you realize that those five boats were crewed by 70 sailors. Those numbers could have accounted for at least 18 T-birds in the old days! None of this is to say that the dilution of race participation isn’t hard on yacht clubs or that small fleet size doesn’t have some negative effect on the enjoyment of the participants. It’s not perfect, and it’s not the same as it used to be. It’s just not dying. And our pathway forward as a sailing community will require us to be creative not only in the types of events we offer, but in how we think about those events in the context of the modern smörgåsbord of opportunity. There are exceptions. The Super Bowl still gets more than 100 million viewers. We just had what many consider to be the super bowl of PNW regattas - Round the County - with its 125 boats and 1,000 sailors; and it was as magnificent as ever. As we prepare to wrap up 2018, I encourage all of you to find ways to define this fabulous year of sailing as a huge success! Happy holidays, Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North 6

Response to “Sailing Video: Room for Improvement” Hi Joe!
Model Shown Beta 38
Engineered to be Serviced Easily!
Yes, as you say, “covering sailing is extremely hard,” but I agree with your November column about sailing videos that lack substance. While I suppose all sailors have their own favorites, one of mine is “RAN Sailing with Johan and Malin,” the Swedish couple who left Malmo about two-and-a-half years ago: ransailing.se It looks like they’re now right in your backyard. Using their Spot tracker, I see that RAN is in the Harbor Island Marina on the Duwamish Waterway. From their YouTube videos, they seem like a really engaging couple. Johan is a very practical guy, capable of fixing everything. Malin is wonderfully engaging and does a great job explaining their navigating and routes. Their videos have plenty of substance about life onboard, the cruising challenges, and exploring new landfalls. It would be fun to see you write a 48° North interview with them, especially about the Hawaii to Alaska passage and then their trip from SE Alaska to Seattle. All best wishes! - Peter Detwiler Thanks Peter, I’ll check them out, and see if I can catch them while they’re in town.

Hey Joe, I commiserate with you on the state of many sailing videos. My chief complaint is that they seem to be more about touring than sailing. Many who sail across the Pacific, spending upwards of 30 days to get to their destination, spend little time showing their daily trials and showing most about their destination. They would have been better off flying there instead. Even S/V Delos gets boring at times. I admit that I have tried my hand at it as well. After years of taking stills I bought my first video VCR camera and sailed solo to Alaska in 2004 aboard my San Juan 28, NOLHI (No Other Love Have I). I didn’t look at the results until I returned home and, while pleased for some record of my voyage, I learned that when the sailing gets sporty (the stuff an audience wants to see) I was too busy handling the boat to do any videoing. Some provision for those special moments when the wind challenges us or all hell breaks loose has to be prepared-for in advance. Having one crew member tasked to be your photo journalist is one way to approach it. Still, even with that knowledge, I look back on my 2016 roundtrip to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, aboard Destiny with some disappointment on what I have to show for it on video, settling on DeLorme Inreach tracking and WindyTV position plots taken by my wife, Billie Jean, at home. It’s a different approach heavily dependent upon her creative Facebook posts during the trip. There again, with a four-hour-on, four-hour-off www.48North.com

Response to Michele Rogalin Henderson’s “Helmets in Sailing” Article Joe, The helmet article is great work and greatly needed. After six years of being a Dock Dad and running high school regattas, and more years of working at PMYC sailing school and sailing JAM, I have seen a lot of knocked heads. Too many kids have gone home with lumps, potential injuries and a sour taste for sailing. Last year I was ordered to wear a helmet because I was on anticoagulant. The first day with it, I was knocked head first into the cockpit and hit the boom on the way down. My own daughter refuses to wear one, but I hope they become the norm in spite of some of the resistance. I’m still looking for the perfect one that doesn’t crowd the millimeters that she clears the boom. And it has to look just so....

First, wow! Getting a lot of reaction to my story about winter sailing in the Idaho lakes, from Maine to Washington and Idaho. Lots of good contacts for sailing, too. On another topic, is there a rodent problem on the docks at the harbors around Seattle? The reason I ask this www.48North.com
Letters is that when I was moored at the docks in Fossil Bay on Sucia Island, I got invaded by mice. I woke up in the night when something ran across my face. In the morning I found droppings and my gourmet chocolate was chewed up. That morning I asked the yachters next to me about mice. They laughed and said they had the same problem. They usually get paper plates and put a hole in the center and then run it up their dock lines. It keeps the mice out. I did the same thing the next night and also closed up all my hatches. Still got mice on the outside of the boat. I think the problem was, I used recycled (rough) paper plates and the mice climbed right over them. I should have used slickpaper plates.

In my experience, mice aren’t a real big problem in Seattle but I’ve heard of mice and other rodents occasionally finding their way onto a boat in this neck of the woods. One piece of advice is to never park your boat next to a fishing boat!

Seattle Boat Show Seminar Line Up January 25-February 2 One of the most popular features at the Seattle Boat Show is the extensive line-up of free boating and fishing seminars and the advanced training classes for a fee through Boat Show University. This year’s show offers something for everyone – a total of 165 free boating seminars, 76 fishing and crabbing seminars and a full roster of classes at Boat Show University. Boating Seminars There are new seminars related to provisioning and entertaining, technology/solar power, drones/ photography, marine signage, graphics and wraps, flotilla cruising, and weather. There are also new how-to topics on purchasing a boat, boat detailing and maintenance, sail repair, re-decking your boat and engine maintenance.

Books
There was a time, back when the United States was young and the robber barons were just starting to come into their own, when fortunes were made and lost importing luxury goods from China. It was a secretive, glamorous, often brutal business—one where teas and silks and porcelain were purchased with profits from the opium trade. But the
journey by sea to New York from Canton could take six agonizing months, and so the most pressing technological challenge of the day became ensuring one’s goods arrived first to the market, so they might fetch the highest price. Steven Ujifusa tells the story of a handful of cutthroat competitors who raced to build the fastest, finest,
most profitable clipper ships to carry their precious cargo to American shores. They were visionary, eccentric shipbuilders, debonair captains, and socially ambitious merchants. Barons of the Sea is a riveting tale of innovation and ingenuity that “takes the reader on a rare and intoxicating journey back in time. Barons of the Sea, and their Race to build the World’s Fastest Clipper Ship, by Steven Ujifusa, $29.99.
Former stressed-out city girl and journalist Emma is living the dream. She’s in Malaysia, living on a yacht with handsome traveler, Guy, and together they have plans to explore the world’s most remote and exotic places. Alright, so she has to ignore the niggling doubt that things didn’t quite work out the last time she went to stay with a stranger on his boat in Asia, but she's quietly confident that this time things will be different. She and Guy are literally sailing into the sunset together. Adventures
in Asia, America and the Caribbean beckon. Life, free from the rat race and nine-tofive grind, couldn’t be more perfect. Or could it? Eventually forced to return to London, to her old, crippling, fast-paced world, Emma finds herself struggling with anxiety and panic attacks and losing the battle between head and heart. Running, or sailing, away is just not an option anymore.
Untie the Lines, the sequel to Casting Off, is a beautifully written, often funny, story for those who dream of escape, adventure and an unshackled life. But it is also a deeply moving tale about recognizing the need to be true to yourself, and to live a balanced life - for without balance, we fall. Untie the Lines, by Emma Bamford, $15. 00.

Maritime Trivia by
Bryan Henry
Why don’t polar bears eat penguins? They aren’t on their menu, as they don’t share the same range. Polar bears live in the Arctic, penguins in the Antarctic.
Except for orcas, which are the largest dolphin member, hourglass dolphins are the only dolphins that live in Antarctica.
There are 17 species of penguins found worldwide, six of them occurring in Antarctica.
Antarctic orcas hunt in teams, herding prey together, and also tip over ice floes to knock off penguins and seals.
A colony of king penguins in Antarctica can number in the hundreds of thousands.
The largest recorded whale was a female blue whale hauled ashore at South Georgia Island, Antarctica, in 1912 that stretched 110 feet long.
Penguins have toothlike barbs on their tongues and roof of their mouth to aid them in swallowing slippery fish.
There are four species of Antarctic seals.
The emperor penguin’s species name, Aptenodytes, means “wingless diver.”
The Ross seal was named after polar explorer Sir James Ross, who discovered it in 1840.
Other than emperor penguins and king penguins, gentoo penguins are the largest and also fastest of penguins.
Except for the Southern elephant seal, the leopard seal is the largest seal in Antarctica.
625+ slips for commercial and pleasure boats.
Over 800’ of year-round visitor moorage.
The male elephant seal has an inflatable nose, most likely displayed as a mating call. The leopard seal is the only seal that preys on other seals. Leopard seals have razor-sharp teeth and have a propensity for chewing on scientists’ inflatable boats and deflating them. Crabeater seals are the most abundant seal on Earth. They’re misnamed and don’t eat crabs but rather krill. Seals have slitted nostrils that close under water. Antarctic fur seals are the only seals of the Southern Ocean with visible external ears. The whiskers of marine mammals such as seals are scientifically known as vibrissae. They’re very sensitive and are able to detect minute disturbances such as the movement of a fish’s tail.

Lowtide The
Center for Wooden Boats Wagner Education Center This month, The Center for Wooden Boats (CWB) on Lake Union opened the doors of their new facility, the Wagner Education Center, which is named after CWB Founding Director, Dick Wagner. The CWB has always been a handson museum, but the new facility creates new opportunities both for museum exhibits and more handson learning. The Wagner Education Center, designed by Seattle architect Olson Kundig, quadruples their exhibit space and includes a vast and modern boat shop. Even though the new building wasn’t technically open, CWB has been running classes in the new facility since the permit was approved back in September 2018. Of particular note is a Vancouver-designed boat called the Kitten, a 15'
design from 1920 which formerly had a fleet at Seattle Yacht Club. The Kitten is a good example of the hands-on museum philosophy - CWB also has an archival version of this boat, but there is also a class working in the new boat shop to create a brand new Kitten. That boat is scheduled to be sailing by June 2019.
Our Mainsail:
What makes it such a good buy? You’ll find features in a LEE SAIL that are specifically included to extend its life: reinforced batten pockets; leech line; tack and clew with leather chafe guards; sail numbers; tell tales; leather encased, hand-sewn aluminum headboard and triple stitched with 6-point zigzag seams when required; stainless steel, heavy duty pressed cringles; reinforced stress points.

In addition to extra space, the new building also increases visibility for CWB to the booming South Lake Union neighborhood. Executive Director, Brandt Faatz, says they’ve seen a demographic shift in their membership and engagement in recent years. Faatz says the new building may catalyze this even more so, and says CWB plays a big role in the boating industry mission because they’re an easy on-ramp with which to get involved. The Wagner Education Center project has been many years in the making. Faatz was actually a CWB Board Member in the early 2000s when the idea of a new building was first discussed as a strategy to address CWB’s opportunity in the coming South Lake Union neighborhood transformation. Fundraising for the new building began in 2009, and construction began in January 2016. Faatz credits the community of volunteers, members, and the board for seeing the project through to the end. He also added of the project’s completion, “It’s gratifying and exhilarating. It’s been a long time in coming!” Staff and volunteers are quick to note that the floating buildings will still be central to activities at CWB. “This is an expansion, not a replacement.” Technically, this is just a soft opening, but the public is welcome to come and check it out. More exhibits will be added in the coming months. A grand opening will take place sometime in spring 2019. - 48N

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
Run, pause, bob – run, pause, bob – and down the water’s edge it goes. That’s easy to remember. Also, look for that red circle around the eye and two black breast bands against brown and white feathers, another easy identification. I say if you can remember two things about a critter, you can remember what it is. Killdeers are common around the Salish Sea, usually at the shoreline along beaches and estuaries, but also on fields and marina lawns. In the winter, their numbers swell as birds east of the Cascades join their foraging, so that’s why I’m writing about it in December. Killdeers! These birds were named for their call, a kill-dee, kill-dee that is often heard before the bird is seen. This is the largest of several plovers on the West Coast and all have the same traits. I think it’s a model just waiting to be painted.
Now the good part: Killdeers have an interesting trait. They are ground-nesters, four to six eggs that are usually just in a scrape of sand or gravel. This is lined with dried vegetation and some white material such as broken shell fragments. They seem to prefer open grassy areas where watchful parents can keep an eye out for predators – or you, walking your favorite beach. Suddenly, there’s a bird ahead dragging a broken wing and making a real racket like it’s in agony and pain. The wing is hanging down, dragging on the ground and an obvious target. Obviously, you follow it! The bird keeps going, taking you far away from the little family tucked away in the nest. If you stop, it stops, walk towards it again and there it goes. It’s a strategy that seems to work for fooling predators as well, so much so that killdeers have two broods a year.

The sea is peaceful, with a a glimpse of the foamy white crests that this could be happening to me. light wind and gentle waves that roll which surrounded the ship. I listened December 2018 www.48North.com 22
to the wind, and heard it sing through the rigging with a deep, strenuous sound that often rose in pitch to almost a whistle as a strong gust hit the ship. It took me a few minutes before I became used to the wind’s song – to recognize its many parts as the ship interacted with it and was set vibrating by the force. Before I got a chance to get accustomed to the fury of the wind, I was startled by a loud noise above me in the rigging and looked up to see one of the staysails blow away. As the sheets parted from the clew, the sail flapped furiously in the wind with a gunshot-like report. The second mate ordered me off the halvdeck, and in response to his commands, we began to heave on the downhauls to get the sail down. Then several crewmembers went aloft with lines to lash the sail to the mast. It was a very difficult job, or so it seemed to me, since the wind was howling terribly. I suppose I felt frightened at that moment as I watched those men go aloft. It seemed to me that the wind could easily blow them out of the rigging. Yet, knowing their savvy
and competence on the boat, I knew that they would be able to accomplish what had to be done. I stayed up on deck for another hour or so and watched the crew bustling about in preparation for the worsening weather. There was still another staysail set, and Peter, the second mate, was worrying that this one would blow too. It did indeed, in fact, rip just like the first one a few hours later, and I could hear the commotion on deck from my cabin. I was up again at 6:00 AM. I dressed and stood watch on the halvdeck, holding on to the rail anxiously waiting for the sky to lighten. It seemed to happen very slowly. When it was finally light enough to see clearly, huge foamy seas were revealed in every direction. The ocean was in a rage. The waves tossed themselves at the Statraad Lehmkuhl, knocking her about and sometimes roaring over her decks. Standing on the halvdeck and watching the bow of the ship rise to meet wave after wave filled me with a strange feeling of awe. To see how such a huge bulk of steel could be so easily lifted into the air and then plunge downward
again gave me some idea of the power behind those waves. Nonetheless, I felt quite confident that the ship would have no trouble keeping up with the tumultuous dance. I was reluctant to go below again for breakfast. At this point, my stomach was not in any condition to be treated roughly, and I wasn’t quite sure how it would react to a big breakfast. As it turns out, I didn’t have too much to worry about because when I reached the union mess, it was a scene of almost total chaos. Most of the furniture in the dayroom adjoining the union mess had been smashed during the night. In the mess, cadets were valiantly trying to serve breakfast to the hungry sailors and students, but food was constantly finding its way to the floor. Porridge, bread, and milk were all over the floor, making it slippery. When a big sea rolled the ship a little more than usual, people would lose their footing and go flying across the room, food in hand. Occasionally, a few people would pile up together on the floor. I maneuvered over to the counter where the food was and was asked to hold onto the orange juice cans. While

I did this, I nibbled on a hardboiled egg and drank some of the juice. Before I was able to get a bowl, all of the porridge was gone. I had to be content with a piece of bread and some crackers. Maybe it was as it should have been - I was able to keep it down. All day the gale raged. The winds reached Force 8 during that first night, but things seemed to calm down a bit during the day – but not very much. Since the galley was completely in shambles, the cooks reported that they were not able to prepare the special turkey dinner for Christmas Day. But around noontime, the frozen turkeys appeared, being carried up from below to the galley, and so we knew that we would have our Christmas dinner after all. The teachers (senior cadets) had volunteered to serve the meal to the students (cadets). I could hardly drag myself around by dinner time, I felt so bad. It’s unthinkable how tiring it is to be fighting every moment just to stay on one’s feet. Add a bit of seasickness, and this wasn’t exactly a cheery holiday. After serving the students, I managed to get some Christmas dinner of my own, and felt so much better. We thought that the lull which allowed us to have our Christmas dinner might signify the end of the storm. But not so! The weather report predicted that an even bigger storm was on its way the next day. At night, it was very difficult to sleep. The ship rolled so badly without the staysails that I was thrown from one end of my bunk to the other with every roll. Besides that, the banjer (sleeping quarters) was noisy with the continual slam of open lockers and flying objects. The door of my cabin flew open occasionally, and books and papers found ways of escaping and falling to the floor. In the morning, we got ready for the new storm. Everything on deck was secured, and life lines were put up. In the afternoon we set the two “stumpsails” (lower topsails). The storm remained from the south; so all the time we were being forced farther north, away from our destination. This time, the storm struck during the day so that it was easier to see what was happening. The seas weren’t as heavy as the day before, because 24
we were also finally out of the Bay of Biscay, where the swells are often quite bad. Unlike the more managable waves, the wind was really picking up. At 1:00 PM, I stood watch on the halvdeck while the stumpsails were being set. It was impossible at times to look into the wind, because the driving rain would cut into my face. I was still feeling the effects of all the rolling, and working on deck was difficult to say the least. As evening fell, the storm showed no signs of letting up. In fact, as it got later it became clear that we were in for even more of a beating. People were starting to show signs of exhaustion. I tried to imagine what it would be like standing on dry land and not have it roll back and forth under me. It was impossible. I went to sleep, or at least tried to do so. A little after 4:30 AM, the whistle blew for all hands on deck. I pulled on my clothes and went up on deck, not knowing what to expect. We were all pushed into the corridor under the halvdeck and no one seemed to know what was going on. Someone asked Barness, the first mate, a question about the storm and what we had to do. The old man just stood there, his lips trembling in a strange way. He looked 100 years old at that moment, and I wondered whether the trembling lips were a sign of fear or whether he was just tired. Then we were ordered to our bracing stations. For sailors of more modern rig configurations, bracing is the process of pulling yard arms to be at a different angle to the masts - functioning similarly to sheets and allowing the boat to sail at different points of sail. It was unreal. I think everyone was too scared to do anything but obey orders to the letter. Somehow everyone sensed that there was no room for any mistakes. We hauled on the braces, lines of scared bodies heaving on heavy lines in the dark night. Then I saw the moon appear above the yard arms, and I watched as it appeared to swing around in the sky, indicating that the ship was changing course. In fact we swung around a full 180 degrees. The moon made me smile. But still we were struggling against the wind, and every once in a while, a row of struggling cadets would fall over and December 2018

then madly scramble to their feet to keep from losing the line they were fighting with. When bracing was finished, I fought my way back toward the main deck. The chief mate was coming the other way and said “hi” as I passed. I didn’t recognize him until he grabbed onto me to help me avoid losing my footing on the wet deck. One couldn’t lose focus on stability for even a second. By then, several people had noticed that one of the stump-sails had ripped slightly, and from where I was standing the moon shone through the hole. I thought about the night when the staysails had ripped, but apparently this one was going to hold for a while. When I got down to the main deck a group of the cadets had congregated. Then, Barness announced to everyone with a smile on his face, “Well young fellows, at least we are headed south now.” Everyone cheered. Since we had left Norway a week before, we had never had the wind in a favorable direction. The wind that night reached hurricane force (force 12 or 13). I’m sure none of the cadets knew how serious the situation was or what to expect. I didn’t. We were lucky that the bracing operation, at the height of the storm, went so well. Apparently, at 4:00 AM, we had been headed directly for the center of the depression, but didn’t know it because the weather report had been in error. When we received a new weather map on the weather facsimile printer at 4:30 AM, it was clear that we had to change course and head away from the center of the storm. I’m sure now that it was fear that I saw on the lips of old man Barness. Perhaps he, more than any other, had a right to be afraid, since he knew better than anyone the situation we were in. At one point during that storm the ship heeled about 55°. Later, when the storm was over, the sheet for the stump-sail, a heavy chain, was examined, and several of the links were bent and starting to break. The old-timers aboard agreed that they hadn’t seen a storm like that in nearly 20 years. Barry North lives in Seattle and sails at Seattle Sailing Club.

our years ago, I watched Maiden Trip on Netflix. This is a documentary about Laura Dekker, a thirteenyear-old Dutch girl who set out to become the youngest person to sail around the world alone. After a ten-month legal battle with child protective services, who did everything in their power to sabotage her trip, a judge finally allowed Laura’s father to make the decision. Luckily, he supported her dream. So she set off on a two-year voyage on her 38’ Jeanneau Gin Fizz, Guppy, and did all the filming at sea herself. When I watched this film, I was thirty-one years old and sailing had never occurred to me. I was a sparselypublished writer with an MFA. I was working in restaurants, doing some political activism, and trying to shop a novel around to agents. I had previously founded a one-woman upcycled sweater business on Etsy, which flopped. In other words, I had pursued many things, and was yet to find the right dream to chase. I told my roommates Maiden Trip was one of the coolest movies I’d ever seen, and the next evening when they walked in the door after work, they found me on the couch re-watching it. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what I loved so much. The sea, the sun, the solitude, the sunsets, and the sails filling and flapping in the wind - it all seemed so peaceful. I liked how Laura and her dad had bought this run-down boat for next-to-nothing and worked on it until it was seaworthy. I loved how this small girl had fought her government and won. What a challenge!
was cheap. It had decent sails, a Yanmar with only 200 hours, and no blistering on the keel. It passed the survey and I signed on the dotted line. The first time I went out sailing, I took my dad, who’d never sailed before either. I was new to the boat life, but noticed that we were the only Black people I’d seen in the Pacific Northwest sailing world so far. The lack of diversity was a depressing reminder that to own a boat, you had to have money; and for most Black people, resources are too scarce. Everything on that first trip went fine until docking, when I missed the slip and found the boat difficult to maneuver in reverse (which I’ve since learned is because of a phenomenon called “prop walk”). So I spun around in the throughway and pulled the throttle up into neutral. My dad and I each grabbed a boat hook and pushed off of any boat we drifted toward. A woman on the next dock heard the commotion and told me to try docking again. She yelled “Turn!” at the right moment. Thanks to her, we made it into the slip. I posted my horror story to the Women Who Sail Facebook group and a nice woman offered to bring her husband out for a docking lesson. They spent an hour and a half teaching me to dock. Since then, I have not missed the slip again. My learning curve was steep. I proceeded to do countless projects on the boat, each of which required learning how to do it first: new systems, new head, new plumbing, new Kiwi Grip. I did almost all of these 25
Dream Chaser
A Young Black Woman Sets Her Sights on a Historic Circumnavigation By Sarah Scott I still didn’t admit to myself, ‘I want to get a sailboat.’ I just loved the movie, that’s all. Fast forward two seasons and a personal injury settlement later. I was looking online at condos and calculating whether I could afford a down payment. It would be a stretch. A picture of a three-bedroom houseboat popped up in the listings. The wheels started turning. What was the smallest sailboat I could live on comfortably? I decided it should be twenty-seven to thirty feet. Something with a stove and a toilet that was small enough for an absolute novice to singlehand. I found a Catalina 27 named Papillon. It was a project boat, but it www.48North.com

I also taught myself the theory of how to read a sextant and I felt I understood it perfectly, though I didn’t have the horizon to try it yet. I single-handed all around Puget Sound, to Blake Island and Poulsbo, and eventually across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. A year later, I got a job at Fisheries Supply in Fremont; and over the course of thirty months I worked my way up from cashier to Sailboat Specialist. I was officially hooked! Meanwhile, I continued to read every book about sailing around the world alone that I could get my hands on—especially the ones by women. I read and re-read the stories of Tania Aebi, Kay Cottee, Jessica Watson, Abby Sunderland, Jesse Martin,
Ellen MacArthur, as well as Bernard Moitessier and many more. While I was drinking in all of their knowledge and adventurous spirit, I couldn’t help but note that none of these books were by Black people, nor any other person of color. Had a Black person ever done this? I looked online and I read about Teddy Seymour, the first Black man to circumnavigate solo via the Panama Canal, and Bill Pinkney, the first Black man to circumnavigate solo via the five great capes. What about a Black woman? I did a lot of
research and I could find nothing. My dream started to take shape: I want to be the first Black woman to circumnavigate the globe solo. But I hadn’t admitted it to anyone. I was afraid my lack of experience would invite ridicule from all the salty old guys with marine businesses who shop at Fisheries. After I had crossed the Strait of Juan de Fuca and had a Swiftsure under my belt, I decided to sell my Catalina and buy a proven bluewater boat. I looked at a 1969 Rawson 30, which had a gorgeous green exterior; it was also quite a project. Since it was so cheap, I just elected to self-survey it with the help of Don Casey’s Inspecting the Aging Sailboat and a borrowed moisture

meter. I sounded out the deck with a ball pein hammer and the only dull spot was right under the windlass, but it seemed contained to a couple square feet. Re-coring rotten decks is the most feared project in marine carpentry, but I accepted the challenge of such a project and knew it was just another exercise in learning, persistence, and skill building. I wanted the boat, so I signed on the dotted line. It was only after I bought the right boat that I started to tell my Fisheries co-workers about my desire to become the first Black woman to circumnavigate solo. Everyone was very supportive. My friend Jim, who heads the electrical department, took me to Snohomish to meet Karen Thorndike. Karen holds the Guinness record as the first American woman to circumnavigate the globe solo via the five great capes. She used to work at the Fisheries sailboat desk, like I do now. Karen was so friendly and encouraging, and I was elated when she showed me her Cape Horn chart, which had little red stickers with the dates and times she was at each location. I was even more thrilled when she gave me thirty-three of the charts from her circumnavigation, her pilot charts, her dry bags for letters and medical supplies, and several important books! What?!?! She believed in me! I took the charts home and, remembering a few tips from Karen, I taught myself how to read a pilot chart. I calculated what were the best times and latitudes to cross each ocean, starting with the most intimidating— the Indian Ocean. I read the books: One Island One Ocean, about the scientific research vessel that circumnavigated the Americas clockwise; How to Read Water, about signs to look for in small puddles as well as giant oceans; and World Cruising Routes. I began to plan out some tentative routes. I approached Alex Sutter, the Vice President of Fisheries, with a ten-page sponsorship proposal that included six single-spaced pages listing all items I would need. He said if I can singlehand around Vancouver Island next August, Fisheries will be a sponsor for my world trip. On top of that, Fisheries will let me borrow some electronics for next August, too. Hooray! So now I am racing to get the boat ready for
Vancouver Island and the world. Some of my interactions with the sailing community have been less positive than those I’ve mentioned with people like Alex and Karen. I’ve encountered negativity, racism, and trolling at times. Although my campaign to circumnavigate won’t reverse some societal tendencies that work against diversity and equality, nor will it magically give most Black women the resources to buy fancy boats, I hope it will empower young Black girls who have amazing dreams
to pursue them, as I am. In the face of any challenge, my experience has been that a desire to learn makes any project possible, and that my own fire to chase this dream is fueled when a knowledgeable person shows that they believe in me.

Embracing O
ne thing I love about our cruising lifestyle is living by our “one day at a time” philosophy. We don’t make plans too far in advance, and rarely feel tied to a schedule or ambitious expectations. We take opportunities as they appear and listen to our intuitions. Before we left Seattle, we didn’t try to plan out what our offseason would look like, or where we would be when it started. I’m not sure we had a good idea what off-season really meant. We found out what an off-season is the following May when the humidity in southern Mexico peaked and thunderstorms elevated night watches from pleasant to terrifying. After a particularly harrowing passage surrounded by thunderheads with an engine that was misbehaving, we pulled into a protected harbor ready for a break. The decision was easy; we were frazzled, Halcyon needed work and this harbor had affordable rates. A week later, we had hauled out the boat, packed away sails, cleaned out lockers, strung up tarps and hopped on a bus to Guatemala. We didn’t have plans for the offseason, so we simply took it in stride. We backpacked around Guatemala, visited family on the east coast, picked up some work in Seattle, and delivered a few boats. When a strong earthquake hit southern Mexico in September and the ensuing tsunami damaged the marina where Halcyon rested, we altered our plans and flew south to check on her (she was fine, but stuck on the hard because the travel lift had been flooded). Our second year was different. By the time the travel lift in southern Mexico was once again functional and 28
the
Offseason
By Becca Guillote
Halcyon was happily sailing through Nicaragua, we were already thinking about the following off-season. We had committed to join Graeme Esarey and his family aboard DogBark! on an arctic adventure, and would need to leave Halcyon to fend for herself through the stormy tropical summer. There are not many options for cruisers on the Pacific coast of Central America looking for a safe, friendly and affordable place to leave a boat. The few marinas that are available in Nicaragua and Costa Rica are prohibitively expensive for a long term stay. We reached out to all of the marinas we could find, and even ran the numbers on doing the canal transit – twice – to take advantage of the more affordable moorage on the other side (the numbers almost worked, but the hassle and time commitment took that option off the table). I will admit we were picky with our criteria. It was not an average off-season comprised of a few rainy months spent working in the states or traveling by land. We had committed to DogBark! for four-to-five months, and there would be little option to alter our plans if Halcyon had issues while we were gone. We needed a place that was safe and secure with staff that could check in on the boat in a convenient location with an affordable December 2018

long-term rate. Ideally, we would be able to haul out and leave Halcyon in dry storage, but travel lifts are more elusive than threetoed sloths along Central America’s pacific coast. Finally, we learned about Vista Mar Marina from a local cruisers’ group on Facebook, a brand-new marina located 40 miles outside of Panama City. It was a bit of an unknown; as a new marina, there was little information from cruisers that had stayed there in the past. But the location, quick responses from the office and agreeable rates made it an obvious choice for us. We had a somewhat stressful introduction to Vista Mar when uncomfortable conditions led to an early exit from our previous anchorage and brought us to the marina’s entrance at two in the morning. The chaos of pulling into this new marina late at night, with a thunderstorm right on our tail, was compounded by the realization that the marina was not yet designated on any charts. We navigated by a blurry google map and a maze of blinking buoy lights lost against a backdrop of bright city lights. But our stress melted away the following morning as we checked in. The atmosphere in the office was casual, the staff all wonderfully friendly. Cesar, the dock manager, had to drive into the city the next day so he gave us a ride and helped us through the myriad customs and immigration procedures. On the way back, we stopped through his neighborhood for lunch at his aunt’s roadside cart. She was serving her Sunday special: fried dough stuffed with tender marinated meat and spices served on a greasy napkin. Yum. We quickly knew we had made the
right decision for Halcyon. No place is perfect, of course. We would have rather hauled out for the summer, and we were worried about the surge that perpetually rolls through the marina. But the docks are very well built and with some attentive dock line management, we had no trouble with the movement. While the big city is an hour away, the small town of Coronado is right up the street and had everything we needed, including several chandleries, hardware stores and markets. Each dock is behind a locked gate and a security guard keeps watch overnight. The Boga Bar, at the top of the dock, tempted us nightly with generous margaritas and tasty cheeseburgers. Decommissioning the boat for several months in the tropics is time consuming. We realized at the beginning of our first off-season, when we had hauled Halcyon out in a dry storage yard behind a fish processing plant far from towns, restaurants or any air-conditioned room, that it is helpful to choose a place that is also enjoyable for humans. While Halcyon endures the majority of the time on her own
during the off-season, we are aboard for several weeks at the beginning and again at the end. The availability of a few amenities and activities can be sanity-saving on those hot exhausting project days. Vista Mar kept us comfortable, cool and distracted as we slowly checked off our “to-do” list before leaving to get aboard DogBark! in Seattle. Walking trails, nearby surfing beaches, a volleyball court and a modern gym permitted no excuses to workout daily. A cool-down swim in the pool was a must in the heat of the afternoon. As the marina filled up with cruisers settling in for summer or just passing through, the office began hosting a weekly potluck by the pool. The stormy season is now coming to an end and we just recently returned to Halcyon, thrilled to be home and finally unpacked after six months on the move. While we were away, the marina added great features to serve the increasing number of cruisers choosing to stay there. I was thrilled to see they had replaced a small convenience store on property with a coffee shop and also opened a big indoor community space
that has everything we could want – WiFi, TV, air conditioning, chairs and space to spread out (it’s the perfect spot for that canvas sewing project I’ve been putting off…). They are even working on adding a haul out and dry storage yard, which will be a very welcome addition for future off-seasons. Last year, we were anxious and worried about the boat, not knowing how she fared through the heat, rain and earthquake. This year, thanks to Vista Mar and our cruising community, all of that anxiety evaporated. It felt like a whole village watched over Halcyon while we were sailing through the arctic on DogBark!, putting our minds at ease. Now, I am just plain happy to be home – sleeping in my own bed, writing in the community room, and playing volleyball with other cruisers. It’s much more fun to get our boat projects done with the motivation of a refreshing swim at the end of the day. Soon we will untie the lines and continue our journey, but we are in no rush to leave yet! Follow Becca and John’s Aventures at www.patreon.com/johnandbecca

Galley Essentials with Amanda Cruisers Potluck at Shelter Bay Marina
On our past December passage from the BVIs to Panama, after hearing r a v e re v i e w s , w e decided on a brief stop at the new IGY Marina Santa Marta, Colombia. As we approached the coastline, it was surreal to be sailing under sweltering skies with palm lined beaches only to have the view topped with the stunning glacial peaks of the nearby Sierras. A contrary current of up to 1.8 knots held strong and we had to push to arrive before dark on the day we’d planned to. The marina is located in the middle of a surf beach and thankfully we got help from the marina staff in securing MT in a berth that had blustery afternoon beam-on winds and an impressive surge that jerked and tugged the dock lines. We managed to catch marina manager Kelly in the office before she went home and she explained that Colombia allows vessels to stop for up to 72 hours, without clearing customs, if they only require fuel, water or provisions; perfect for us as clearing in is a multi-day process that requires hiring a ship’s agent. Kelly then gave us city maps and a restaurant recommendation. Santa Marta, the oldest city in Latin America, has a population of 650,000 and reminded us of a cross between Mexican and Spanish sea port towns. Tourism is relatively new as most visitors were Colombian, here to enjoy the beach. We dined in Donde Chucho’s courtyard beside the historic plaza 30

Add potatoes, chicken, tomato paste and broth, simmer 25 minutes. Add corn and coconut milk; cook 5 minutes. Add cream, peas and heat through. Season to taste and serve with cilantro. Our next stop was the San Blas Islands of Panama. We easily covered the 290 miles in under two days with stiff trade winds even with 1-2 knot contrary current. Mahina Tiare really hummed and, periodically, we’d nudge 10 knots. Swimming Pool Anchorage, East Hollandes Cays, is one of the most famous San Blas anchorages and an excellent landfall choice. Shortly after anchoring, a lovely Kuna mother with three children paddled out to visit. We purchased molas of applique picture panels and winis of strung beads the women wear on their limbs and gave her rice, onions and apples. She wished us Feliz Navidad and invited us ashore to their tiny onehut island. Situated near the impressive booming outer reef, we enjoyed our sunset visit and admired
her tenacity. After spending a few more days cruising San Blas, we stopped off at Portobello on our way to Colón where it’s always fun to visit with Birgit and Ray who run Casa Vela; a sail loft and pizza joint. Sadly, they informed us that although Panama is considered to lie outside the hurricane belt, last year a hurricane pummeled the bay from the west sinking 13 of the 16 moored yachts and sending waves crashing through their casa. Shelter Bay Marina, Colón, was our crew departure port with Christmas just five days later. Under the guidance of Jo Anne and Bill aboard Ultra, the many permanent and visiting liveaboard cruisers pitched in to make it an unforgettable event. There was a competition for the best decorated boat, Christmas caroling, a progressive dockto-dock party then a huge potluck on Christmas day in the Cruiser’s Palaopa. Bill spent all day cooking a 17lb. ham, then carved it up for all. We sat beside a charming Russian family who sail a Nauticat and chatted with dozens of international cruisers while sampling dishes equally varied from salads, dips, to an awesome paella and many cakes.

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.

Whether you want to how to use RADAR, tie knots, or re-wire your bilge pump, there are some great evening and weekend classes offered locally. It’s also a fun way to meet
Seattle Maritime Academy:
Northwest Maritime Center:
Sarah Jones loves her Islander 37. But the boat’s 50-year-old electrical system had lots of problems. Even though she didn’t know anything about electrical systems, she says, “I knew my AC system was bad.” Plus, she wanted to add a water heater, GPS, and RADAR, which her old system couldn’t support. She took Basic Marine Electric Fundamentals for the Recreational Boater course at Seattle Maritime Academy. The 12 hour class met one evening a week for six weeks. With a combination of time in the classroom and in the marine electrical lab, Sarah learned fundamental skills about AC and DC electrical systems on boats, such as how to use a multimeter to read current, voltage and resistance, and how to determine proper wire size based on circuit amperage. Sarah eventually replaced the entire AC and DC system herself. The state-of-the-art facility in Ballard also offers evening classes on marine diesel engines, Navionics, and transiting the Ballard Locks.
When I think of the Northwest Maritime Center, images of the spartan Race to Alaska and the lovely Wooden Boat Festival come to mind. I was surprised to discover they also have a cutting-edge Pilothouse Simulator, and classroom RADAR simulators. NWMC uses these to train professional mariners, but they’re also used for classes open to recreational boaters, like “RADAR and Night Navigation.” I wish I’d had the opportunity to learn in the safety of a pilothouse simulator, instead of trying to master the concept of “relative motion” pinned in tidal rips by a slow-moving freighter! I’m looking forward to taking the Introduction to Marine Surveying course at NWMC. As a captain and instructor, I need to be able to recognize things that are about to break, and how to prevent problems. The class covers a variety of topics, including corrosion, sail and spar inspection, fuel and engine systems, navigation systems, and marine asset valuation.

new boating friends. You probably already know about the training in navigation and other topics offered by the USCG Auxiliary and Power Squadrons and the wide variety of classes at the Seattle Boat Show in January. I’m excited to spread the word about four emerging education programs that may not yet be on many sailors’ RADAR screen:
Cruiser’s College:
The Center for Wooden Boats:
Cruiser’s College also offers courses for new and experienced sail and power cruisers. Their classes are held on weekends, for a half or full day. Courses are held in both Anacortes and Kingston and include hands-on classes in marine diesel and electrical utilizing the Skagit Valley College Marine Systems program facility in Anacortes. This is a first-class professional marine trades training facility with the opportunity for demonstrations and hands-on activities. In the past month, Cruiser’s College has had participants come from Alaska, Minnesota, and Colorado. Local boaters should go see why! If you’re hoping to go long-distance cruising, build both the confidence and the skills to fix your boat yourself when somewhere remote. Boat owners with the interest (and time) can enroll in the 12-week technical course about electrical, engines, electronics, and more. These graduates are currently out sailing in Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, and further.
The Center for Wooden Boats has “Maritime Essentials” classes weekday evenings, on topics such as knots and line handling, and skills for the first mate. Since CWB is at South Lake Union, it’s an easy stop on the way home if you work downtown. Bonus: your tuition helps support this non-profit that’s so important to the local boating community, AND you get to be among the first to check out their brand-new Wagner Education Center! The Maritime Essentials course is a great step, but just one of the many educational options at CWB. There are also woodworking and boat building course offerings that would be of interest to more experienced sailors. Kristen Pederson, Programs and Operations Manager at The Center for Wooden Boats commented, “With the opening of the Wagner Education Center, we’re so excited to have more space to introduce people to the region’s rich maritime culture by teaching more classes, offering more hand-on workshops, and greatly expanding our exhibits!”

ailing involves a certain amount of risk, and to be quite honest that is part of what makes me attracted to it. On each of my 45 trips across that whale pasture between the West Coast and Hawaii, there was a chance it would be my last. Each time I slipped across the Columbia Bar, I recalled my visits to the Columbia River Maritime Museum - a must see for any mariner - and figured we were lucky again. Nearer to Seattle, the Race to Alaska is notorious for being risky with equal possibility of being pestered by a pesky bear or a playful orca; or more realistically, a scary bout of hypothermia. In spite of the risks, sailing for most of us is fairly safe. However, it’s not like I have never seen anybody get hurt on a boat. Here are some of the most common situations in which there was a preventable injury on a boat. I have either seen this happen myself or learned about it by talking with a couple local pros in the boat insurance industry. These calamaties could happen on either power and sail boats, and could happen when cruising or racing. Commercial fishing, in which I have also participated, is likely the most dangerous job in America, so let’s just not go there (that title could go to logging, but at least I’ve never heard of a logger just straight up disappearing).
Common Sailing Injuries and How to Prevent Them
Beware Hatches and Companionway Last week, we were battling the wind and waves around Alcatraz and trying to pull off a gybe in tricky conditions. We had just launched the 34
By Andy Schwenk spinnaker and the foredeck hatch was still open. Suffice it to say, things were not going well. It was a pursuit race and all kinds of boats of varying speeds and amounts of control were converging at once - literally, from foiling cats to Cal 20s. We actually completed our gybe, but somehow in the process of reaching for the hatch to close it we caught a boat wake and our foredeck crew went headfirst down the hatch landing on her back. We have a bag custom fitted for the spinnaker under that hatch so she was neatly contained if a first responder was required. In this case, we were fortunate. She was a little shook up and certainly bruised, but if it would have been on a larger boat with a longer drop, it could have ended differently. Hatches can even be dangerous when closed - don’t walk on them, they’re slippery. Also, many older boats have hatches that are so UVed out that when you do step on them they collapse and the shards can cut deep. Along with hatches are companion way steps, especially when it’s a steep ladder and the boat is underway. The December 2018

safest way down is to turn around and climb down as you would a ladder. I have seen boatloads of folks come sliding down on their backs or fall off into the galley or nav station on the way. Prevention: Close hatches quickly, avoid stepping on or near them, and go down the companionway like a ladder.
Burns Speaking of the galley, it is always policy on our boat to wear your foulie pants when cooking in the galley offshore, in case a pot of boiling water comes loose in a seaway. Burns are notorious for infections and usually medical supplies are scarce, or at least finite, when the nearest land is two miles away straight beneath you. Prevention: Wear foulies when cooking offshore. Head Injuries That same day off Alcatraz when we were out among the Cal 20s, an old 42’ IOR warhorse, Lois Lane, had a choice of crushing a Cal 20 on port tack or tagging the buoy just North of “The Rock.” Lois chose the buoy and somehow got it between her mast and her backstay in about 25 knots of wind and 3 knots of current. The spar broke in three places and floated down to the water. Interestingly when spars come down, it sorta looks like it’s in slow motion because the sails create a wind brake. Of course if you plow into the B&N railroad bridge or the 520 high-rise while you are under power it can happen much more quickly. Rig failure of any type

o Install a Water Tank T -

H
Access Plate By Alex and Jack Wilken
Your various holding tanks are often out of sight, out of mind. However, these tanks deserve attention from time to time - especially your water tanks, which you want to be clean and have a propensity to grow stuff on the inside over time. In our 48° North article from May 2014, which was about clean drinking water, we mentioned that since many water tanks don’t come with a pre-installed access plate, you may need to add one. Winter is a likely time to pursue the project of fashioning one, so let’s discuss the installation process in metal or plastic water tanks. The same process can be used with other types of tanks, though unless it is a brand-new fuel or holding tank, the process will not be as pleasant. An access plate is a sealed plate covering a hole in the tank that allows you to access the inside for cleaning, inspection, and to help install sensors or fittings (Figure 1 & 2). There are two basic types of tank access plates: plastic access plates (Figure 1) and metal access plates (Figure 2). Plastic access plates can be used in any tank. Aluminum
Figure 1: (A) Plastic collar bolted to tank. (B) Removable plastic access plate. (C) Rubber O-ring to seal between access plate and collar. (D) Rubber gasket. (E) Machine-screw head bolting collar to tank. (F) On this tank sealant was used in addition to the rubber gasket to ensure the seal; this is not always necessary. 36
water tanks and holding tanks need aluminum access plates if a metal access plate is used. Aluminum access plates are preferable in an aluminum diesel fuel tank, although stainless steel is acceptable. Carbon steel and iron tanks are unsuitable for water and holding tanks. If carbon steel or iron are used for diesel fuel, aluminum access plates are preferable, while stainless steel is okay. For stainless steel and Monel water and holding tanks, stainless steel access plates are the only metal that is acceptable; for diesel fuel, stainless steel is best while aluminum is okay. For all other water and holding tanks, stainless steel is the only metal access plate that should be used, while in diesel fuel tanks, aluminum is best and stainless steel is okay. We would normally not use a plastic access plate in a metal tank, but it can be done. Plastic access plates tend to have a less positive seal and should only be mounted on the top of the tank. They are normally a round plate that screws into and seals against a collar with a rubber O-ring that bolts to the tank (Figure 1). Metal access plates could conceivably be mounted on any side of the tank, but, unless special access is required, it is generally preferable to mount any access plate on the top of the tank. Plastic access plates are cheaper, easier to install, and normally easier to open. Metal access plates are stronger and form a more solid seal. To begin the access plate installation process, determine where and how big the access hole needs to be- generally the bigger the better. Then purchase or fabricate the appropriate size and material plate. In all installations, there are “givens” (things which cannot be changed, within reason…). The first given in this installation is the tank. Once you purchase or fabricate the access plate it becomes a given. Any hole you drill or cut in the tank becomes a given. The goal at the end December 2018

(D) Rubber gasket. is to have all the givens fit together and work when you have it assembled. To install the access plate, cut the access hole making sure there is enough room around it for the mounting bolts. If the access hole is round and small enough to cut with a hole saw, this will give you a round hole equal to the size of the hole saw. For bigger or non-round holes, a saber saw is usually best. Draw the outline of the hole on the tank. Then drill one or more holes as needed, big enough to fit the saber saw blade, inside the marked hole. Insert the saber saw blade into the drilled hole making sure the blade is not touching anything. Start it up, and, once it is at full speed, carefully start cutting out the marked hole. If the hole is square, it is best to drill two holes, one in each opposite corner or one in each corner, as you must cut a radius to turn with a saber saw. Because of this you should only need one hole for the blade when cutting out a curved hole. Be sure to vacuum/clean the drill and saw shavings out of the tank. At this point, you should be able to insert the plate into the hole, mark the holes to bolt it in place, and drill them. With the holes drilled you can open the access plate and install the bolts/ screws in the collar to dry fit the access plate in the tank. Metal access plates often use rubber gaskets to seal. It is difficult to tighten plastic access plates enough to create a good seal with a rubber gasket without breaking the plastic. So, it is sometimes preferable
to use sealant under the access plate. Once you have the plastic plate dry fit, with bolts and nuts, or machine screws and nuts, tape off the plate and around it to help clean up the squeeze out of the sealant. Be sure to use a sealant that is safe for potable water. Figure 4: (A) tank wall. (B) End of bolt acting as a stud. (C) Nut. (D) Lock washer. Unmount the collar, (E) Washer. (F) Access plate.

Captain Nate’s Singlehanded Sailing Tips
By Nathan Harmon
Six Tactics to Raise or Lower your Mainsail Singlehanded 2. Marina Slip If you are lucky enough to have your boat head-to-wind while sitting in your slip, you should be able to hoist the mainsail and motor or sail out to sea. While maneuvering in the marina in close quarters, ease the mainsheet to de-power a crosswind gust or sheet-in fully if on a run to slow your momentum and reduce the risk of accidental jibe. If you are unable to return to your slip the way you came out, consider the options below to lower your sail and motor in, or sail in jib only.
As a skipper of a sailboat, the standard expectation leads many to believe you need crew consisting of friends, family, or basically any ablebodied person with a pulse. This is certainly helpful, but unfortunately, many boaters feel they can’t go out unless they have an extra hand. Singlehanding appears unsafe and intimidating. Too many sailing dreams go unrealized because of this concern. True freedom and empowerment is knowing you have the skills to hop on a sailboat whenever you want and sail into the sunset, choosing your own destiny. Going sailing solo does not mean you need be antisocial. On the contrary, building these skills allows you the opportunity to bring others on-board who are not expected to do anything but enjoy the ride. I often tell my students, “solo sailing simply makes you a more competent sailor.” Further, the fact is that most sailors will sail solo sometime in their day, and it’s the most likely scenario in the event of an emergency. 38
With all this in mind, let’s look at single-handed techniques for hoisting and lowering the mainsail. With a crew, this requires a person to drive the boat head to wind while another person or two hoists or lowers the sail. With alternative approaches like these, singlehanded sailors can get underway or back into the marina more safely and efficiently. 1. Autopilot This one is a little obvious, but it’s the place to start, and an enormous help for singlehanded sailors. For those with autopilot, point your boat directly into the wind motoring forward with enough momentum to hold steerage. Leave your main sheet extra eased in case the wind shifts a bit or you’re not dead on the breeze. Lock your autopilot in and hoist the sail. If you need to go forward of the cockpit in high winds and waves, consider rigging a jackline and tether yourself to the boat before going forward (always use the high side of the boat). The process is the same to lower. December 2018
www.48North.com
3. At Anchor If you are at anchor you could hoist and lower the sail at ease. What to do before or after that is where it gets trickier. When raising the main at anchor, make sure to ease the mainsheet until anchor is raised so you don’t sail away while the boat is still anchored. You may need to do just that to break the anchor free, however. To anchor under sail, first make sure your anchor is prepped and able to disconnect for lowering within a matter of seconds. Quick attachments, like a removable hook on the anchor chain which allows you to flake the rode and keep the tail secured to the bow cleat, make the process much easier. From here, luff the sail in a close-haul point of sail. As your boat comes to a stop and you begin to move backwards, head up to the bow and release your anchor. Some solo sailors drop their mainsail as a part of this single move (releasing the main halyard on their way to the bow), but if your anchor doesn’t set, you’re going to want to have the sail up for maneuverability. Thanks to the wind, your boat will automatically be pushed back to the point where your anchor fluke sets. Your anchor will set more reliably with extra scope; you can shorten it once you know you’re holding. 4. Run Halyard Aft If you run your halyard line directly
to the helm, you could simply hold fourth to free jammed slugs could your wheel/tiller with your leg be stressful due the possibility of while motoring forward head-torounding up. You may need to wind and hoist your sail using both spray the slugs with mast-track-safe hands. Consider using the jib sheet lubricant if this is the case. If you winch if there is one within arms have a boltrope on your luff and reach, however, if your halyard intend to do a lot of singlehanded comes from a cabin-top angle sailing, you might either install you’re at risk of over wrap on the slugs on your main or consider a winch.

your mainsheet is eased and set to run, because the balance may shift once the sail is up. The jib-only set-up is also a clever set-up to tuck in a quick reef in your main when underway.
The basic heave-to is a must-know for any singlehanded sailor. way to secure a tiller/wheel is to use the excess jib sheet (lazy or trimmed-on depends on the balance of the boat) to tie a temporary knot to the helm. This should leave your hands free to hoist or lower the mainsail. Before you do anything though, make sure
40
6. Jib-Only Heaving-To Heaving-to is a way of keeping the boat in a holding pattern while under sail, allowing a break from all handson sailing operations other than Rule 5, keeping a good lookout. Traditionally, this configuration requires a backwinded jib, an eased main, and a hardover helm affecting opposing forces. It can work well to lower your main from a traditional heave-to, though you’ll have to adjust your jib once the main is down. If you have a roller furler, this advanced maneuver for sailors who are already proficient in the traditional way, uses a partial jib and can be a handy way for singlehanders to raise their main. A jib-only heave-to usually requires additional balancing measures because the rudder may overtake the backed jib or vice versa. Therefore, the jib may need to be shortened using

your roller furling system (make sure it is kept as taught as possible without any draft/belly). This will allow the boat to head up closer to the wind and your mainsail the freedom to be hoisted up the mast easily when streaming aft like a flag. It’s generally a good idea to heave-to on a starboard tack, in the event you need to ask for right of way. This procedure works best in middling wind ranges and flat-to-moderate seas. Once you are hove-to with jib-only, raise your main, and be prepared to quickly adjust the sail balance. I hope this article helps those who find themselves motoring around on perfectly good sailing days because they feel intimidated by the idea of raising or lowering the main singlehanded. Let us all rise to the occasion and sail more, sail safer, and sail happier. Captain Nathan Harmon has been an ASA sailing instructor since 2004. He now teaches at Seattle Sailihg Club, where he is teaching several on-the-water singlehanded sailing workshops in late January that are open to the public.
ow! It was a fantastic day for W fall sailing in the Sound as Gig Harbor Yacht Club hosted its annual
LeMans Race on November 17th. This 50+ year old event starts with boats at anchor in Gig Harbor, with sails down, and the crew below decks. When the start gun goes off, crews race on deck to pull up anchor and set sails. The 14 mile race course started in Gig Harbor, ran up Colvos passage to Olalla, and then back to a finish line in Gig Harbor. The harbor presents some special challenges with fluky winds, anchored vessels to avoid, and on this beautiful day a fleet of kayaks and SUPs on the water. Often run in light air or cold and rain, this year ’s race had the gift of perfect conditions with a trifecta of relatively warm air, cloudless skies, and a strong, steady northerly breeze. Winds in the harbor were 8-10 knots; and in Colvos Passage, the breeze was steady from the north at 12-16+ knots. Twenty-two boats raced in two classes in a reverse order start, 10 minutes apart. Class 2, including smaller boats with larger handicaps, started first, followed by larger and mostly faster boats in Class 1. With a good breeze the smaller boats literally exploded off their anchorages in the north end of the harbor with a burst of brightly colored spinnakers. They were well down the harbor by the time the Class 1 boats pulled anchor. As usual, the wind in the confined harbor was variable in intensity and direction as boats maneuvered to thread the needle at the harbor entrance. Spinnakers went up and down in adjustments to the wind. Just outside the entrance in a wind shadow, velocity dropped to 4-5 knots and the fleet bunched up momentarily as both both classes cleared the harbor entrance. Lead boats quickly figured out that they needed to take a port tack away from Gig Harbor towards Vashon Island to catch the strong breeze coming down Colvos passage. Others quickly followed. In fresh air, it was now a beat north to Ollala in strengthening wind and chop. Soon, rails were loaded with crew. Many boats elected to reef or change headsails to handle the wind conditions.

In Class 1, it was no surprise that the zero-rated J/160, Jam, skippered by Bill Fox, took an early lead. Most of the fleet tacked back and forth across the passage avoiding some of the wind shadow on the west shore. Jam was first around the turn mark at Olalla. Less than two minutes behind them was a J/133, Constellation, skippered by Ron Holbrook. In close pursuit was John Leitzinger ’s Areodyne 38, Kahuna, and Jon Knudson’s J/N 42, Korina Korina. Beating neck and neck towards the mark was a J/120, Felicita, and a J/35, Grace-E. Four minutes behind them the Choate 37, Asylym, and IMX 38, Gardyloo, played dance

partners around the mark with some affectionate trash talk. Jammin, a J/80, skippered by Tom Mitchell, was the first Class 2 boat around the turn mark. He was closely followed by Jamie Storkman’s newly refurbished Thunderbird, Fandango. Rounding the turn mark, boats eased sails, pushed sprits out and popped their chutes for a sleigh ride back to Gig Harbor in a 15 knot breeze. With the wind coming straight down the passage from the north, the only strategy needed was to sail a straight line and go fast. The safety boat clocked Jam’s speed at 10 knots with Mt. Rainer radiant in the background. The last challenge of the race was to slip back through the harbor entrance and head to the finish line requiring a short beat up Gig Harbor. The first boats to cross the line were Jam in Class 1 and Jammin in Class 2. With all the boats finishing in the early afternoon, crews enjoyed drinks and a great meal together at GHYC’s after-race party, which went on longer than the race and was great fun. Thanks to all of the support boats and crews that made this event possible and to the fantastic galley crew at the party. by Tom Gray photos by Jan Anderson results on page 46 41

t doesn’t get better than One heavy weather sailing lesson we learned downwind both ways! is to avoid excessive heel. We sail in light air D a y 1 , F r i d a y, a t S e a t t l e so often, we are conditioned to associate heel Ya c h t C l u b ’ s G r a n d P r i x and power with speed. However, in heavy air, Regatta brought together the too much heel can be detrimental to the efficacy top performers across a year of the keel. It can feel counter-intuitive and of regattas. PRO (principal conflict with our muscle memory, but easing the race officer) Brian Ledbetter traveler or main sheet is going to be faster. We determined that the conditions found that we sail faster when we had less heel were a perfect opportunity to than what felt “right.” race a middle-distance event, so - Emre “John” Sezer, owner of “Reckless,” J/80 the three fleets took off at 1:00pm on courses that took them to Blakely Rock, Duwamish Head, and (for the biggest boats) North to the vicinity of Edmonds. The forecast called for the 20 knot breeze to diminish and shift; Mother Nature provided the shift but without much diminishing! SYC members, John and Edie Tenneson (owners of Jedi) sailed with a full spinnaker from Duwamish to Edmonds, then made the turn and reached with a jib for a couple of minutes. Much to their surprise they quickly needed to launch the spinnaker again. Aboard boats to the south (still racing to the North with their colorful sails) the astounded sailors were wondering, ‘How can we both be sailing downwind with our bows 42

facing each other?!’ There was not much of a convergence zone and no one was complaining! Boats who raced the shortest of the three courses seemed to be most impacted by the shift; it made the day a great challenge and true test for teams to prove their adaptability and skill. The atmosphere at the postrace rendezvous was pure joy, because the day on the water had been 100% worth leaving the ‘office’ early. It’s tough to fill every boat with crew on a work day, but those who make the effort and get out to race are always pleased that they did. Day two of Grand Prix was a total blow out. Brian sent the fleet to the dock to wait for better conditions and warned that he could have us reconvene if breeze arrived. This news was welcomed by everyone who wanted to watch college football! Over a hundred sailors arrived in CYC’s clubhouse and watched the Huskies while waiting for the race to be officially abandoned. Day three began with a small craft advisory and heavy rain. The racers headed to the
Grand Prix had spectacular conditions for Friday and Sunday. Saturday ended up being no wind, but two-out-of-three ain't bad! Friday brought us a mid distance race to Blakely rocks and back with a southerly mostly in the high teens.Sunday's racing brought 18-25 knots of breeze, and the SYC Committee set two nice long buoy races - maybe 10 miles - which was a fun distance for the breeze we had. On “Poke & Destroy,” we started the first race with our heavy #1 genoa, and by the top mark, we had no business having that sail up and were super overpowered. In the outflow from the locks, we missed the top mark, had to do several extra tacks. Once we rounded, we got the kite up and planed down the long run. For the next beat, we went to our #4. Good call. During Race 3, we battled with “Different Drummer” and “Vitesse” for line honors. We got a good start at the favored pin end. “Drummer” went around the final bottom mark 50 yards in front of us. Knowing that the breeze was fairly easterly in Shilshole, we chose to tack and play the left side of the course on the last beat. This paid huge dividends, as we rounded the final top mark in 1st by 150 yds. No one could catch us. Huge smiles on our faces after that race win, but congrats to the well sailed “Different Drummer,” who won the class. - Alex Simanis, owner of “Poke & Destroy,” Evelyn 32
course at 10am and were greeted by a passing squall. Race Committee briefly delayed the start sequence to allow for the worst of the weather to pass. It was a smart choice and the course was posted shortly after the originally stated time. Two long windward-leeward courses were run in 20+knots of wind. There was quite a bit of damage: burst vangs,
torn sails, busted battens, broken egos (ha!) but everyone in the regatta displayed great seamanship and stayed safe. Our race committee did a great job of starting the six fleets while being anchored in 30 knots! It couldn’t have been easy with such a sea state; the racers appreciate the effort and high quality races that were provided.

In the end, the results were extremely tight. The corrected times in the PHRF and ORC classes show that only seconds separate the placings. In the J/105 fleet, the top three boats ended with a tie for first due to the fact that each of them had earned a 1-2-3. by Regan Edwards photos by Catie Plourde results on page 46

time change, more darkness, and a lot more precipitation - there’s numerous reasons to dread entering the month of November! Holding the key to changing one’s outlook on the eleventh month are the superorganizers of the Round the County Race (RTC). The start and finish lines are located off Lydia Shoal, adjacent to Blakely and Orcas Island, exactly in the center between the major sailing areas of the NW. Thus RTC creates a logistical challenge with the need for deliveries, organizing the sleeping and eating arrangements. On top of that, you must prepare the team mentally and physically for the mind-bending currents of Boundary Pass, Rosario and Haro Straits, not to mention the ever-challenging Peavine
Pass on the approach to the finish. The ‘carrot’ in all this is a chance to reunite with many friends from the past and to sail amongst some of the most scenic islands on the continent. Saturday dawned crisp and clear with the winds at the start blowing stronger than the 5-7 knots predicted. After getting all the fleets away in three separate downwind starts early Saturday morning, racers made the fast trek southward with the current, gybing on the shifts towards the turn at Davidson Rock at the south end of Lopez. Here, the hard decisions needed to be made to take advantage of the current and how much, if any, north wind would creep over Lopez and San Juan Island. The teams that chose the inshore route initially were rewarded with more pressure and
were able to later take advantage of a windshift through San Juan Channel between the islands. From Salmon Bank to the finish, just outside Mosquito Pass, it became a ‘tack-a-thon’ due to an eddy running northward up the shore of San Juan Island. Venturing out a few boat lengths beyond this tide line meant rest from tacking, but unfortunately multiple minutes being added to your finish time! In the end, there were smiles from back to front as the warm sun and breeze held through the day and the whole fleet was tied up with time to enjoy the sunset after a perfect day on the water. The second leg of the race posed some interesting challenges. First, there was the remains of a flood tide that lurked offshore, but if

you missed it, you’d be stuck in the middle with a strong building ebb. Then there was the north wind filtering over and around Johns and Stuart Islands that would lure you closer to the shore to find that the nice puff was quickly replaced by a glassy calm spot. After Turn Point, the fleet was close-hauled on port tack with some cracking sheets for a faster angle and others staying on the wind in hope of current relief closer to Pender and Saturna Islands. Generally the ones who chose the middle had the most pressure to sail against the ebb on the way to the middle gate at Patos Island. From there the fleet hoisted
spinnakers for the 16 mile run back to the finish in a nice 8-10 knot northerly. For those that have done a few of these races know, you don’t get too comfy looking at Mt. Baker and the various other bits of scenery, as there can often be a re-shuffling of the deck within the final few miles to the finish. What adds to the intrigue at the finish
is that it’s impossible to speculate how much wind or current you will have as you approach, as you cannot see the area until you turn right after the tall Lawrence Point on Orcas - kinda like entering a 4nm House of Horrors! Strategies varied from “go straight at it and hope,” to the inshore track, to try and link into the northwesterly

shift early and for some, including the author, the “Buffalo Girls” approach was chosen (...’round the outside’)! The fleet leaders had the most to lose as it was easier for the ones behind to judge who had been parked for the longest time. In the end, the breeze managed to pull in the fleet allowing for a lovely delivery home in one of the fall’s most stunning, sunny afternoons. Be sure to mark your calendars for next year ’s RTC. Actually, as it’s sure to sell out again, best to set an alarm to notify you the moment the organizers start accepting entries! A big thanks to all the organizers for such a well run and fun weekend. And thanks to all the sailors for keeping the spirit of the competition alive great to see lots of families enjoying the adventure together! by Ross Macdonald photos by Jan Anderson results on page 46

quality yachts from swiftsureyachts.com Moana 2012 59’ Outremer 5X €1,190,000
Cruising the South Pacific on a performance cruising catamaran with one’s family and friends is the stuff of dreams. Pack some clothes, book plane tickets and board that direct flight from LAX to Papeete. Moana, hull No. 2 of the respected Outremer 5X series, is fully outfitted, optimized and positioned for a family cruising sabbatical. Moana is outfitted to be owner-maintained and operated. This does not by any means imply “roughing it.” Moana has four large cabins and two heads, a huge cockpit for dining and entertaining, clothes washer, watermaker, entertainment and worldwide communications electronics, dive compressor, and all the tools, documentation, and spares needed to keep everything working. – pete mcgonagle
