Editor FREESAILING?!

S H20 in liquid or solid state. These sports saw huge increases in public popularity as the baby boomer generation came into adulthood. For sailing, this coincided S S broad appeal of surf culture. Increasing participation and enthusiasm eventually S I get the distinct impression that participation in the competitive versions of these sports peaked in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s in this country, and has since declined.

whom they want. Some were able to bring along sponsors and media attention, T art or style of their sport, travel to exotic locations, and often the camaraderie between groups of friends who shared this passion. Well known examples include skier Shane McConkey and surfer Rob Machado. These athletes didn't leave competition to go ski gentle cruisers or easy waves; they remained concerned with elite performance and challenging themselves, sometimes in extreme ways. Their

Nothing quite like this happened in sailing. Certainly, lots of sailors get on the similar non-competitive pathways for other sailors? What would a freesailing movement look like?

- destinations that are windy, relatively unknown, and exceedingly picturesque.

For this reason, it seems logical that freesailors would sail small, portable, highperformance boats.

Imagine a friendly group of burgeoning freesailors - sailors of the Moth, 49er, or foiling catamarans - traveling the world to sail for themselves and the love of the sport. They push each other, progress, and develop their own styles; all while

best - young America’s Cup skippers like Kiwi Peter Burling, Australia’s Nathan O T C S Y if it was some of our region’s most talented. How could sharing these experiences with the public not make everyone, particularly young people, inspired to get out on the water?

None of this is to detract from the value of competition. Freeskiers and freesurfers often point to skills honed in competition that enable their “free” adventures. However, this alternative pathway to express oneself through the sport of sailing - especially one that highlights the nexus of personal enjoyment, challenge, innovation, and camaraderie - could only be good for the sport.

Hello Joe, I do not usually comment on these type of changes to a magazine, but I must tell you how disappointed I was to see your new cover. I applaud your attempt to update the look, but wow, you just lost what set you apart from everyone else out there. You mentioned featuring local artists and marine artwork, where else can you see that? You have a great magazine giving Northwest coverage and informative boating articles to the sailing community, and have one of the last print interesting styles of artwork each month, and have kept some covers because they were so unique. Your new cover looks like every picture I have ever seen of foredeck crew and, while it may be exciting to see for the people actually on the boat, it does little for me. I hope this does not turn out to be the “New Coke” for you as I want your publication to carry on for a long time. Please understand I appreciate your magazine very much, I am just sad to see the old cover style go.

Best wishes for 2019!

Dennis Palmer Seattle, WA Hi Joe, I just want to say I saw the new issue and I like the redesign.

I wondered when you were going to move on from putting art on the covers. There are just not as many painters today, and your choices were getting fewer and fewer. I attribute it to the lack of art in schools these days, but for whatever the reason, I think you made a wise choice with the cover photos.

Just remember to add some woodies and small boats not just racing, and you’re good.

All the best, e Port Townsend, WA

Top 25, POD Regatta, and One-Design: 48° North’s Facebook account was tagged in the following conversation.

Hey 48° North, Congratulations to all the Top 25 boats this year. I found it S out the races scored and noticed you included the CYC POD regatta. Historically, the only races scored for the Top 25 were races open to anyone, not just one-design. This also has impact on the bigger conversation of the health of PNW racing and the reduction of PHRF boat competitors...

Eric Finn, Seattle, WA Public responses: Sam Elliott: This does seem bad, but they average each boat’s

105s dropped down the rankings. We’re seeing a strong oneracing is better training than PHRF racing.

Eric Finn: One-design creates a pay-to-play, and a certain benchmark to be competitive. In PHRF, sure a well-prepped boat might do better, but one would argue the price-point by design can be the skippers call and still be competitive using the handicap. Therefore, the overall cost is driven down and supporting more boats on the line and maybe more sailors overall.

Chris Tutmark: In the 105s and Farr 30s, there are sail purchase restrictions so it is not an all-out money war. Instead you see people sailing boats in which they know exactly how they are doing because the boat next to them is identical.

It makes everyone better and people can see where they need to improve. I have not seen open handicap systems be A Y 48°N determines the top boats and which events are scored is always an issue.

Alex Wetmore: Here and Now wasn't in POD and was top boat, so being at POD wasn't necessary to win. Awesome job to all of the boats! It's a big commitment to get solid results at all of those events.

Eric Finn: Indeed Alex, I was expecting someone to point out HR C you are totally right. I just thought it needed to be pointed out that scoring regattas not open to all keelboats does not make for an all-inclusive Top 25. For a long time it was standardized, but all things change.

Top 25 and One-Design conversation continued...

Ben Braden: Better training? What for? One-design certainly comes with that “I belong” feeling that most of handicap racing doesn’t have. But there are exceptions - the ORC class and the little boats do now, the performance 30 class did too.

One-design does cost more money to perform at the top level, no question about that. Some have ability that can overcome spending the money but that’s probably 1% of sailors.

Also to consider is the type of racing. Some one-designs do mid-distance races, but most just do starts and corners on a sausage course. Crews that start and corner the best often are those that do well. Then you put these same one-design boats up against the PHRF boats on the sausage course, the one-design prepared boat has a distinct advantage due to optimized sail plans and crew work for the course type. Put leveled, though in a few instances can swing the other way.

48° North: Thanks, Eric and everyone, for the feedback. Nothing about this set of races is set in stone, and we strive to make this as even-handed as possible (balancing buoy and distance events, as well as single-race events and regattas).

Here are two bits to consider: First, please note the classes welcomed in the POD Regatta NOR from the CYC Racebook for 2018: "Level PHRF-NW and IRC/ORC, Farr 30, J/105, Melges 24, J/24, Thunderbird..." In application, no one could deny that it has been a one-design regatta and CYC didn’t offer handicap racing. However, I actually think that CYC was actively trying to include non-one-design boats in their regatta setup. Your point about inclusivity is well founded, nonetheless.

Second, POD is not happening in 2019, so it will not affect Top 25 this year. We did not replace POD in this year’s list of qualifying races, because we didn’t want to throw off the balance even further by replacing a multi-race round-thebuoys regatta with something fundamentally different.

The 2019 Top 25 events are: South Sound Series (middistance series), Center Sound Series (mid-distance series), Blakely Rock Benefit (mid-distance single-race), Southern Straits (long-distance single-race), PSSR Big Boats (buoy-racing regatta), Tri-Island Series (varied distance series), Swiftsure (long-distance single-race) Whidbey Island RW (mostly buoyracing regatta), PITCH (buoy-racing regatta), PSSC Big Boats (buoy-racing regatta), and Round the County (two-day middistance). Certainly, there are worthy events off the list, and we always welcome feedback about how we approach the Top 25.

The question of whether one-design encourages participation or creates price barriers is challenging. I'd like to hear more opinions about this from other readers.

Artist View

We are all aware of the threats to Salish Sea orca populations and the very real concern about the extinction of these iconic animals; but there’s another creature in trouble around here, the Pinto abalone. The Pinto is also called the northern abalone because it’s the only abalone in the northwest. This large sea T sized. While it is not food for us anymore, they are prey for many others. Fish, octopuses, crabs, sea stars and otters favor them.

H Now, even 25 years after their protection, Pinto populations have plummeted to a small fraction of what they were. It’s thought there are no longer enough of these abalones remaining for them to successfully breed – so hatchery programs have been setup in several places. The Marine Science Center in Port Townsend is one, the NOAA Mukilteo Research Station is another.

S etches an story y arry E ert

Abalones tend to live in colonies on rocky reef habitats. The Pinto prefers fairly shallow waters that makes them particularly vulnerable to predators. Abalones are ‘scrubbers’, meaning they roam their rocky homes grazing on algae. This allows new organisms to grow and the Pinto keeps a reef tidy and fresh. At one time, a typical rocky reef would have hundreds of abalones, all moving around like big computer mice. They are broadcast spawners, meaning the female spews out its collection of progeny to the sea and then lets nature take its course – not a very evolved way to increase their numbers since spawn have almost no protection. It’s a recipe for species decline, and at this point, Pinto abalone probably won’t continue to exist without human help. They are considered functionally extinct here in the Salish Sea with a 97% population decline since 1992. Next time you’re tide-pooling, think about the Pinto. Look for it under rock overhangs where it’s awaiting higher water to go back to work.

Recently, they left Halcyon in Panama to attempt the Northwest Passage and eventually enjoyed a blissful Plan B of a passage to Hawaii aboard the Open 60, Dogbark!. After a summer of adventurous fun, they have returned to their home-boat to tackle a big, long-looming project. In this article, they lean on their friendly neighbors, drawing ever closer to setting sail once more.

Today is the 21st day since our new engine arrived on the docks, all shiny and red and asking for trouble. We have learned a lot about how not to install an engine these last three weeks...

It sounds miserable on paper: three weeks spent wrestling with a 560-pound beast in a teeny tiny space while sweating profusely, using only the materials available at the local hardware or auto parts store. But in reality, while there have been plenty of moments of complete frustration, the rest has been quite enjoyable.

It’s unfortunate for all of us to go through all this work. But misery loves company, and we have some fantastic company.

Through our collective misery, we have become a tight-knit without knocking, borrow tools without worrying, and make each other meals without asking. The kids on both Ibis and Argo take care of us all. They bring around fresh-baked cookies, stop by just to check in on our progress, and sometimes even lure us out of the engine room for an invigorating afternoon game of water-based tag or sharks and minnows.

At the end of the day, we often gather on Argo’s spacious aft deck, munching on whatever snacks we can dig up, drinking beer

fter recently hearing from our good friend Helge, I’ve been reminiscing on our last sail together and then on to destinations beyond. Helge sailed on a North Sea expedition aboard Mahina Tiare and we promised we’d take his family sailing when we arrived in his hometown of Cascais.

Perfect weather graced us when they joined us to sail up the Tagus River to explore Lisbon’s waterfront. Although Suzanne, Helge’s wife, is rather new to sailing, their three young children, nicknamed “The Trolls,” delighted in the heeling motion. We rounded out the day at anchor with a swim and a delicious meal.

We enjoyed a few more rambunctious visits with “The Trolls” before setting sail for the Med on our next expedition.

Our overnight sail to Portimao provided powerful downwind sailing and a quick learning curve for our new crew as they were kept busy progressively tucking in reefs, mastering the whisker pole and re-rigging the preventer through numerous gybes while wind speeds gusted to 30 knots.

ince it is boat show season and spring is right around the corner, some of you may be turning your thoughts to buying a boat. Thus, we want to share some of the things we look for, as shipwrights and sailors, when considering a newto-us boat. While there are some folks who love a project boat and others buy brand new, most boat buyers are looking for the and that’s how we’ll approach this topic. We always recommend a professional pre-purchase survey, but you can learn a lot in

O is mold growth in the interior. Moisture is a part of life on boats, made to keep them dry inside for reasons related to mold and structure. You can start at the bottom by looking at the bilge. A dry bilge is stellar, but uncommon. Some water in the bilge is not normally a big deal, but you don’t want to see oil or diesel in the bilge and a clean bilge is a good sign of attention to detail.

While you’re down there, it’s a good opportunity to ensure that – each are indicators of thorough care. If the bilge pump is running every 20 minutes, that could signal a problem.

Additionally, we look for signs of concerning water entry from above – rust stains or a rotten bulkhead at the chain plates, rotten wood under the portlights, etc. Water ingress into the interior can sometimes be tied to poor sealing techniques and more serious areas of delamination.

If a boat seems clean, dry, mold-free, and functional, the next thing to look for is how well it has been maintained by the Y behind the electrical panel. The electrical panel in Figure 1, for example may be functional, but it is not easy to work on and shows that whoever has been adding to it took some short cuts.

Looking for signs of quality and attention to detail can also be applied when looking at the original boat construction. Look inside cabinets or crawl around the lazarette and engine room.

The deck is probably the biggest concern. With some of the other systems, if some work is required but the rest of the boat is in good shape, it could still be worth considering. If the deck is spongy, forget it. To check for a spongy deck, simply walk around the deck being careful to place your weight on each part of it to make sure it is solid.

hen the concept of “six degrees of separation” H author Frigyes Karinthy, he couldn’t have known how prevalent that sense of connection would feel among the global sailing community, nor could he have guessed that his principle would be cleverly tied to an actor with a breakfastthemed name.

A “Bacon Number” doesn’t pertain to your love for bacon among all other foods or food groups, nor does it represent the number of crispy strips you can down in a single sitting. A Bacon Number is the number of connections it takes to link an actor through their roles to Kevin Bacon! Well, we have re-purposed the moniker Bacon Number to describe the number of degrees between our family aboard Totem and other sailors around the world. The inordinately close connections between all sailors can be illustrated by considering the following ideas: proximity, access, friend-making, and ghost-touching.

PROXIMITY It’s a wild guess, but let’s say 99% of all humans don’t sail. If only six friend-of-a-friend steps can link seven billion individuals, then it stands to reason that fewer degrees of separation link all sailors. Four degrees maybe? Or even three?

Attend a sailor-focused gathering, such as those held by the Puget Sound Cruising Club, and you’ll meet people that know two-time circumnavigator Nancy Erley, Fatty Goodlander, Laura Dekker, Nigel Calder, and Thomas Ailis from Ninigo, Papua New Guinea.

ACCESS Sir Peter Blake to Hal Roth, Buddy Melges to Titouan Lamazou, Florence Arthaud to Laurie Smith, and so many others who are not as well-known but are equally notable for their experiences a close community.

As an awkward thirteen-year-old, my parents scrambled to borrow a blazer for me, meeting dress code requirements for attending an America’s Cup presentation by Gary Jobson. I was compared to the stage fright I felt when seated next to the America’s Cup-winning tactician himself. During a break, Gary turned to me and we talked sailing. This was an example of an experience I’ve had over and over again in my life: as a sailor, you’re likely to encounter your heroes more frequently than you might think.

Sailors are often rewarded for reaching out. Friends from the Baba 30, IO, told us how they were inspired by Lin and Larry Pardey. They wrote to them asking for advice, and were stunned when, on the next day, they received a very considerate reply from Lin. Similarly, circumnavigators from Rutea, had written

“If only six friend-of-a-friend steps can link seven billion individuals, then it stands to reason that fewer degrees of separation link all sailors.” a review of Jimmy Cornell’s recent book, 200,000 Miles, on their blog. A few days later, they got an email from the author, thanking them for the thoughtful review and asking to publish it on his website. Access to connections like these aren’t possible in every community, but they are in ours; and no sailor worth breeze with.

R END- A N If sailors are mostly connected through a few friend-of-afriend relationships, then, by extension, we’re mostly friendly friends. This leads to unexpected encounters.

We were in Santa Marta, Colombia, and our dwarf hamster had a bad infection. Surgery was required, but the local vets wouldn’t touch the tiny creature. That evening, Behan’s cocktail conversation with a new friend-of-a-friend, Michelle, led to a wonderful discovery: This new cruising friend happened to be a small-animal vet. Michelle diagnosed our pet and talked a local Nautilus, had S serve as vet-tech, taught all of us post-op care, and wowed us with stories of work with animals all around the world.

48º NORTH

If it weren’t for our hamster crisis or our original connection through a mutual cruising friend, we probably never would have met Michelle. To thank her, we gave her a nautilus shell that we got in Papua New Guinea.

We lost touch with Michelle, though the ties across time and distance remain. We are now in Tenacatita, Mexico. Guess who just anchored next to us? It’ll be nice to see Michelle and Thomas’s nautilus again!

HOST-TO CH N It may be sentimental hogwash, but cruising and a little imagination can almost bridge time.

As a teenager, I was inspired by Miles and Beryl Smeeton’s sailing adventures on Tzu Hang.

Many years later, we attended a presentation by legendary sailor John Guzzwell. He told all about sailing his Trekka around the world, including a detour to sail aboard Tzu Hang with the Smeetons. Every person in the room gripped their seats and choked on the taste of Southern Ocean rolling down their checks.

Thanks to John, we felt eerily close to Miles and Beryl.

I had the same feeling when in Comptroller B N H spot where a disillusioned young seaman H into the thick, brushy hills where the cannibals lived.

Ghosting on the west side of Saint Helena on an eerie night produced that sense as well. It was too dark and rainy to approach a mooring, and I felt we were being watched by the ghost of dirt-dwelling Napoleon, who felt contempt for the sailors keeping him imprisoned on this remote island.

Seventeenth-century pirate William Dampier completed three circumnavigations, but his legacy lives on as an observer

travel writing helped inspire parts of Gulliver’s Travels. He even played a part in rescuing Alexander Selkirk, the unpleasant, foolish sailor castaway who died alone on a deserted island.

That misadventure became the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe.

So, the Totem crew is linked to William Dampier and Daniel Dafoe, and on to Pierce Brosnan, who has an actual Bacon Number of 2!

See, these Bacon-esque connections between sailors aren’t even limited to this plane of existence and they continue to amaze.

DON’T MAKE WAVES. Dad’s Advice For Entering an Anchorage

by Mike McGuane

48º NORTH

34

FEBRUARY 2019

"When entering a quiet anchorage, or even a small marina, slow down and back over your stern wake to disconnect it from your stern. Don't drag it along rocking all the boats. " - Harry McGuane

H

ave you ever been sitting in a nice quiet anchorage when you suddenly get rocked by a good size wake, look around and see no boat moving, and wonder who did this to you?

There is a very good chance it was you.

Remember that stern wake you see at cruising speed? It is hydraulically connected to your stern. Even if you slow your boat to absolute zero-speed idle and continue forward, it will continue to follow your boat direction. In the image at left, you can see how long the waves continue behind you without diminishing. They move slowly, but they will follow your boat.

So, it might seem like you are making zero wake entering the quiet anchorage, but minutes after you enter, these wakes will appear, following your course.

I once saw an aerial photo of Admiralty Inlet with a boat motoring along on a calm day. The photo clearly showed the

had reached each shore, which was over a mile to each side of the boat's course. Unless something disrupts the stern wake, it doesn't seem to diminish at all. If you are ever on an airplane on a calm day, look at the boat wakes to see how far they extend.

I see these wakes being carried into anchorages all the time, but for me, it is a hobby to watch it happen. I fully appreciated he stopped at the bay entrance. I looked at him perplexed, then realized he was following his granddad's advice as he stopped, backed up a few feet, and continued at idle into anchorage. Our friend's tender, which only slowed to idle, dragged a wake into bay, and we watched every boat rock as our friend’s tender went in ahead of us. Even though they were going just at idle and appeared to be making zero wake, a nearly-invisible roller disrupted the entire anchorage.

My dad was taught a solution to that problem, and he passed on to us. If you come to a full stop, and then back up, just a dozen feet, your stern wake will stop right there and never enter the anchorage. It hydraulically disconnects from the mass of your boat. I am sorry to say that I don't know how the hydrodynamic science works, but try it sometime and see for yourself. And then watch other boats. This happens with all boats making a wake; a large cruiser, a sailboat motoring at six knots, and a humble tender.

N N O Alaska, is widely known for being one of the world’s best cruising grounds. It’s incredibly beautiful and pristine.

The Inside Passage, a protected route from Seattle to Juneau of mountains, and wildlife. And that’s just one part of the PNW’s cruising grounds.

Yet this isn’t an area often thought of for continuous coastal cruising, as is done by cut-the-docklines, full-time cruisers. Of the hundreds of YouTube sailing channels that have exploded in PNW. Even among old-timers in the region, there’s an unwritten assumption that, to become a serious cruiser, you’ll sail south.

When my wife, Natalie, and I bought our C&C Landfall 38, Violet Hour, four years ago, I thought that would be our destiny, too. We’d make the “Big Left Turn” from the Strait of Juan de Fuca, heading down the Oregon and California coasts to Mexico – and, perhaps, beyond. Many cruisers in the PNW consider the Big Left Turn a necessary rite of passage for achieving cruising freedom.

Often we’re asked, “When are you leaving?” When we say, “We’re not,” we get a knowing nod from those who truly understand. These cruisers, who have plied the waters from Seattle to the north coast of British Columbia, Alaska and the lifetime of opportunity for exploration and high adventure.

A singular challenge remained: how to make the charms of the typical cruising dream work in the PNW. The average cruiser in our part of the world sails for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months in the summer, returning to jobs or homes for the rest of the year, with occasional short forays during fall, winter and spring.

Natalie and I, however, couldn’t get enough of the

unencumbered, long-term cruising lifestyle. We loved having fewer commitments and ties to land, and relished the freedom to roam as long or as far as we wished. Accomplishing this required downsizing – we moved onto the boat months ago – and leaving traditional jobs, as we both did in 2018.

While adapting one’s life to long-term cruising is a welltrodden path with countless books and lots of information, we N T didn’t have to actually be moving every month of the year. To avoid burnout and often volatile weather, many world cruisers take one- to three-month breaks to rest, rebuild cruising funds, and visit family.

My wife and I have discovered that it’s entirely possible to sail most of the time, but a split model can work really well in the PNW. You can cruise March through October without warm for the winter. It’s possible to live in Mexico for three S considering boat expenses, probably at a lower cost than if you The worst weather occurs during a four-month window, November to February.

The fact that the PNW boasts anchorages that are so numerous and close in proximity is a huge asset. In many areas, secure very rare to have more than 60 nautical miles between the next viable spot. This means that, if weather conditions deteriorate, you only have a few hours of hardship rather than a much longer slog.

But such conditions are quite enjoyable in the typically S S A rest of the time with a roller furling 135% genoa, which can be roller-reefed in the blustery shoulder seasons.

Sailing is about the journey – we’re never in a rush to get someplace - but at the end of the day, we appreciate being in a beautiful, tranquil anchorage. And the PNW has thousands of them. Some are so well protected – nearly circular or keyhole in shape – that you’re protected from fetch in all directions and sheltered from wind by tall evergreen trees.

If you asked me for a list of anchorages in which to ride out a hurricane, I could think of several in the PNW. Of course, no one 48º NORTH

We’ve realized along the way that ocean passages aren’t what attracted us to the cruising dream. Instead, it was the aspects of freedom and living on the water that called to us, and an impossibly close connection to nature. That’s the ultimate “WHY?” behind our choice to be long-term cruisers in this part of the world.

The other factor for this commitment to this region can be found in one simple equation: mountains plus water. The PNW delivers both in ample supply, and we can’t really imagine living somewhere without towering mountains covered in lush evergreen forests coming right down to the water in a quiet magic.

And there is so much of this to explore, we feel like we’ve barely scratched the surface. It just feels right – satisfying our desire for adventure, giving us a sense of absolute freedom, and connecting us deeply with the natural world.

Perhaps a similar feeling is exactly what drives others to choose where they cruise.

ome of my favorite hangouts, for decades, have been the various marine-exchange stores in the Northwest—and elsewhere, when we’ve had opportunities to roam. Marine consignment stores provide a unique and essential service for both buyers and sellers, and anyone that likes the idea of making sailing more accessible should consider supporting them, one way or another. These stores enable older boats and or in most chandleries.

Here in Washington State, marine consignment stores have had ups and downs, with a number of them closing over the past 10 years while others emerge and apparently prosper.

Larry e to the modern America’s Cup in the form of multihulls built in Anacortes, WA. The seventy-footers that have set and broken most of the course records - like Diamond Head, Atalanta, and Neptune’s Car - will have pages about them. No such book would be complete without the story of Doug Fryer, whose this region is immeasurable.

Imagine growing up as Doug did: in Portage Bay with World War II raging all over the world; and lying at anchor outside your bedroom window is the Guinness family’s yacht, Fantome when they came home from the war was their contribution and

In his shore time, Doug worked at Fisheries Supply, where he specialized in splicing. One summer, he and a pal turned out 500 They could make a sailor splice in 15 minutes, which required T In spite of these other pursuits, Doug still found time to work at Robert Broom’s sail loft in Ballard. Robert’s father had mostly made sails for square riggers, but Doug was routinely assigned hatch covers and life boat tarps. As if he wasn't already busy enough, he found time to prepare himself for his pursuit of a law degree.

Doug’s second vessel was an ex-surf-boat he made into a schooner, the Altair. This boat did for him what similar vessels have done for many sailors early in their careers – it taught a tough lesson and yielded the wisdom to say, “I’ll never do that again.” After pouring his entire savings and countless hours into her resurrection, he sailed her once and promptly sold her

“I have had the pleasure of sailing and winning Swiftsure twice aboard Night Runner in recent years. I’d like to take the credit, but Doug has 50 Swiftsures under his Sou’wester, so he oughta know the way.” the British government was not going to requisition their yacht Fantome sailed until 1998 when she was lost during Hurricane Mitch with 31 souls aboard – a sad story H glorious sailing adventures with that boat right outside?

Doug pedaled his paper route and attended Lincoln High S produced, earning a dollar a day. Eventually, he saved enough Little Dipper - an H December, he capsized while planing north in a southerly gale.

T decided to swim to the masthead to lower the main. This time, inverted, sending the centerboard out the top of the trunk and leaving Doug pacing on the bottom of the hull. He was eventually towed to the Laurelhurst Beach Club and decided it was time for a bigger boat.

Doug took a gap year after high school in 1952. During the winter of this year, he shipped aboard the Gracie S, a 97’ schooner owned by Ed Kennell and later by Sterling Hayden.

His voyages aboard the Gracie S included three passages to H A FEBRUARY

While aboard the Gracie S in the Bay Area, Doug received word that the local sailing chandlery legend Doc Freeman had Adventuress; which is still at work locally to this day. Doc hired Doug to help bring her north.

The Adventuress S and a doghouse aft, which suited her employment by the pilots association in San Francisco. Doug, just 18 at the time, was the only real sailor besides Doc in the crew of six. To say the northbound delivery was a rough trip is an understatement. It was downright harrowing. The sails were blown to pieces the H clock. The 6-cylinder Atlas was running ok, but the transmission was gimpy and the heater created toxic fumes and had to shut down. Doug was often at the helm alone. The vessel rolled heavily with no sails to steady her, and Doc took a fall and fractured some ribs. Using lighthouses for bearings and the distance-speed-and-time formula, Doug continued north.

Eventually, Doc recovered enough to split four-hour watches and they made it into Seattle with three crew still in their bunks, where they had been for the duration of the trip.

Upon his return, Doug purchased his third vessel - a former Bristol gillnetter with a catboat sprit-sail rig, similar to what you

Doug has always liked to sail fast downwind. He had his heart set on being a member of the “Pipe ‘n’ Bottle Club” - some exclusive fraternity of the crew of the Gracie S. In an attempt to impress his shipmates, Doug and a pal cleared the Ballard

if he earned membership into the club, but I don’t see why not. Doug said the dory never shipped any water which was fortunate since, as usual, they didn’t have lifejackets.

looked similar to African Star above water, but with a modern underbody, maybe Bob remembered that night.

Once the Night Runner build began, Doug spent every spare moment he had over the next 18 months at Cecil Lange’s yard in Port Townsend assisting with the build. There is a rumor that until work was completed for the day in order to complete the build as expeditiously as possible. Doug was the king of the unskilled labor department. He pushed brooms and held the dumb end of measuring tapes, in order that the skilled folks T the plumbing, varnishing, and mounting of the deck hardware.

Doug describes this time as a carpenter’s assistant as “one of his best summers.”

Doug set sail from San Francisco in pea soup fog. He was bound H B H S T H in over 30 knots and heavy seas. By the end of the third day, the autopilot had enough and packed it in. Doug brought his toothbrush on deck and put his sextant where he could reach it as soon as the sun broke through the cloud deck. Sixteen hours was about the limit he could handle at the helm. He continued this way until he had one of those “Eureka!” moments, and packed the autopilot fuse with aluminum foil. He sailed into Hanalei with it still functioning 15 days later.

As a veteran of the cutter-rigged Night Runner’s foredeck, it’s a gybe under spinnaker in less than half an hour. Night Runner still carries her original spinnaker pole from 1980. which is 22’ long and has winch-driven chain on the butt end for raising it to clear the forestay on a dip-pole gybe. In actuality, Doug would roll out the jib top, douse the spinnaker that is 65’ on the hoist and 44’ on the foot, gybe her over, repack and rehoist, then roll up the headsail. Still, how he could accomplish this in half an hour is beyond me.

Intrepid came within one race of being the only three-time America’s Cup defender in history, narrowly losing to Ted Turner’s Courageous in 1977.

Doug was the secretary of the Intrepid syndicate, Gerry Driscoll the skipper, and the aforementioned Bill Buchan was tactician.

A B O Intrepid and The Sailing Foundation was created.

Not long after, Doug responded to an on-the-water tradedy.

A fellow sailor, Arnie Bennett, had been lost overboard and his wife was unable to recover him back aboard. In an attempt help FEBRUARY

Axel also was instrumental in the success of the Optimist average person to have access to yachting. Later in their lives, Axel and Elvstrøm built a One Tonner called Fantasia, which my good friend Ben Braden later bought and sailed for a few years. Nonetheless, it is the OK Dinghy that remains Axel’s most notable contribution to sailing, both in the PNW and worldwide.

Further into Dad’s visit to New Zealand, while anchored out at Motuihe Island, he delighted me by recounting his history of OK S A OK raced out of the Corinthian Yacht Club on Lake Washington. Axel featured prominently in these accounts. He was known to tell stories and crack jokes while crossing tacks on the race course.

The OK Dinghy has its roots in this region of the US. Axel Dangaard Olsen of Seattle commissioned his brother, the Danish yacht designer Knud Olsen, to prepare drawings for a light and fast single-handed sailing dinghy in 1957. A Boeing engineer and a keen sailor, Axel was good friends with the e N Utilizing conventional plywood construction, the OK Dinghy was developed to allow people to build their own boats inexpensively. Intended as a preparation class for the Olympic Finn Dinghy, the resulting design was named the OK, using Knud Olsen's initials in reverse.

He was a motivator with a special knack for exciting other sailors.

Dad even told me a crazy tale of a group that sailed around Bainbridge Island in OK Dinghies. He was a part of that sail and, of course, Axel was involved too. I grew up on Bainbridge Island, and have also circumnavigated it in a dinghy - something many similar dinghy sailing adventures.

In the 60s and 70s, the OK class enjoyed explosive success, with the total number of boats exceeding 10,000, and large T construction, many OK Dinghys have also been made of composites in the decades since. Surprisingly, the old woodies can be just as fast as the new boats and enjoy equal racing success. What’s more, freedom of choice in hull materials is replicated in choice of rig, and carbon masts were allowed beginning in 2003. The class rules are comprehensive enough to keep it a strict one-design, yet allow for some experimentation e OK

I learned that my dad had been instrumental in organizing the OK Dinghy North American Championships hosted by Port Madison Yacht Club in 1966, at perhaps the peak of the local K OK regattas, I was thrilled to discover shortly after his visit that the OK Dinghy World Championships would be held at the Wakatere Boating Club on Narroneck Beach in February 2019.

The Worlds are to be sailed in the Hauraki Gulf, on the same waters as the next America's Cup. With that, my decision was made: I was going to be a part of this event and immediately planned to join the local OK Dinghy an OK Dinghy - NZL #339, a woody built around the time I was born. It had been restored and freshly painted by a British boat builder who then was forced to move back to the UK. I picked it up, and every weekend have been working on getting it up to speed.

The OK Dinghy is a delight to sail. They are great classic little boats that are both fun and competitive. They even have some parallels to the International 505. Both were designed in the 1950s and built to last, yet have been continually updated to keep them relevant. The class allows for movement of the mast step, so you can achieve perfect balance on the helm. On top of that, the planing hull-shape allows for some ripping fun rides downwind in a blow.

Another thing I really appreciate is that the OK sailors range from youth to retirees, and there is also a diversity of sizes and body types amongst the athletes. Many of the sailors in this OK these boats for many years to come.

It turns out there is another Seattle sailor, Eric Rone, here in A H OK S scene back in the day, too. These connections truly astound, considering we’re on the far side of the globe.
