Sailing Vicariously Last month, I bemoaned the moaning and groaning about a slowly developing spring. This month, everybody can celebrate the arrival of summer sailing season! At the time of this writing, it’s sunny, 74°F, and there’s a vernal 15 knot northerly indicative of the summer-time position of the Pacific High.

Sailing season is most certainly here, and if you’re like me, you’ve been getting out on the water quite a bit. I imagine most of you are also like me in another way, in feeling that there’s never enough time to fit in all the sailing you’d like to be doing. That’s one of those funny things about the summer sailing season - the joys on the water are frequent and enthusiastically enjoyed, and yet there’s always somebody doing some kind of sailing that gives us FOMO (fear of missing out).

For me, as someone who chooses to spend more time racing than cruising, the first and foremost FOMO inciters are the boats and groups setting sail for Alaska at this time of year. Day in, day out, they anchor by mountains that meet the water, getting more remote and ever-more-grand as you go further north: eat, sleep, sail, and maybe fish (page 24). I haven’t lived that version of sailing life yet, but I certainly hope to stop missing out on it sooner rather than later.

Even in the racing realm, though, there are many things I’m just not doing, and this month is a great example. While I’m writing this, the J/24 Nationals (page 56) are in town boasting a 32-boat starting line and some of the region’s best pitting themselves against national and international competition in what many still consider the most competitive fleet in town. FOMO...big time, especially since each day of that regatta got sunnier, warmer, and windier!

June also marks the start of Race to Alaska (page 30), Van Isle 360, and The America’s Cup in Bermuda. These three immensely different events are three of the most exciting to me. And, you guessed it, I won’t be sailing in any of them!

FFFFOOOMMMOO! Race to Alaska, which starts on June 8, is in its third year and will have another great lineup with its customary variance of boats, sailors, and approaches to the race. Van Isle 360 starts out of Nanaimo on June 10, and is the consummate yacht race in the Pacific Northwest, in my opinion - inshore and offshore distance racing over two weeks in some of the world’s most picturesque waterways. And who could forget the storied and oft-controversial America’s Cup? The intrigue in this year’s AC in Bermuda is different than years past the boats are unusually similar (one-design hulls designed by Seattle’s own Paul Bieker, identical wings, with open foils and systems); foiling is still amazing, but it is not new like it was in San Francisco in 2013; and there are more viable teams with a chance to win. But, most of us won’t be in Bermuda.

Even those that are undertaking one of these endeavors - cruising to Alaska, R2AK, Van Isle, or the America’s Cup - do so at the exclusion of the rest.

Nevertheless, it’s 2017 and there are a lot of ways for all of us to enjoy any and all of these experiences. Many Alaska-bound cruisers maintain excellent blogs and social media accounts, and others share their stories in the pages of this and other publications. Race to Alaska and Van Isle have trackers to follow each of the competing boats, and if this year follows the trend, there will be more coverage from onboard the race boats (via social media) than ever before. And finally, though the access to good coverage has been disappointing compared to the 2013 America’s Cup, you can watch an expected 40 hours of race coverage between NBC, NBCSN, and the NBC Sports app. With all of this, be sure to keep tabs on www.48north.com as we try to stay up with all of it, and share our version of the stories with you!

Ultimately, this is a reality of our modern world - we are constantly confronted with the choices we aren’t making. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy parts of those experiences by living, or sailing, vicariously through others. Going sailing is clearly the best choice of all, but when you can’t, don’t miss the fun of following other people’s sailing adventures!

I’ll see you on the water!

Kit Case & Roy Kauffman S/V StarGazer Heading north...

Hi Kit and Roy! That is something, isn’t it? I have no idea what it is, and as far as I know it’s not currently registered for R2AK. Our publisher, Michael Collins, noted that it looks like a square rig, which would make the predictable upwind sailing on the way to Ketchikan pretty inefficient.

Aside from the voluptuous cabin top, I like the lines of the boat. It is reminiscent of some of the longboat or dory designs that have been involved in Race to Alaska in the past. I like the wizard’s staff tiller and the ornate rudder head. Do any other readers have any information about this?

What I Learned from Sailboat Living Dear 48° North, I was twenty-two when I got out of the Navy. Those lucky souls who’ve had the honor of being out to sea know that there comes a deep, gnawing nostalgia for the ocean with life on land. The desire to be back on the water hit me hard, and so I went looking for work on the docks in Ballard. To my great joy, I found what I was looking for. A small mom-and-pop company called Boat Snake hired me to detail sailboats and yachts. It was a hard job, but sailors know a thing or two about hard work. As every boating season passed, and with it the summer workers who often didn’t last more than one season, I weathered the winters and the cold, lonely docks because I had a dream. My boss and his wife had been living on their sailboat for years, and after that first sail on a brilliantly sunny day atop the Sound, I was hooked. My goal was to save enough money to buy a small sloop, and follow in my boss’s wake.

It took me five years to finally get a boat. Five years of toiling aboard other people’s boats, day after day, hoping that some day that dream would be mine.

My first boat, and the boat I still have to this day, is a 1975 27 foot Catalina sloop.

The Boat Snake crew had regular Friday evening sails after work, and so I had a good understanding of how the mechanics of sailing worked. But when I became my own captain, and I had to learn to solo-sail, I felt like I was learning something new all over again. Embarking and docking the boat proved to be a comedy of errors for one man. Lucky for me, the hull of my boat had some scars from a previous life, so the scratches and scours weren’t as noticeable. On one occasion, the current and wind pushed me so far out of line that I had to jump off my boat and onto another to push my boat away from it and not let them collide. I saved the boats from collision… but fell in the drink in the process! A few good Samaritans, laughing hysterically from my performance, ran to help pull me out and dock my boat.

They assured me, every captain has a few stories like that.

After four years of living on my sailboat at Shilshole Bay Marina, of learning how to sail and how to be a captain, I moved back to land. I still have my sailboat, but there’s 10

Letters nothing quite like the experience of living aboard.

What I miss the most is the simplicity of life, the sound of the swells against the hull, rain-drops on the deck overhead as I fell asleep in the v-berth, being rocked by the waves. The sunsets at Shilshole were magnificent, and I would watch them every summer night as I grilled in the cockpit, and drank ciders with old friends. I miss the docks at night, lit like runways from the dock-box lights. I miss the connection with the sea, with nature, with how close I felt with the earth.

There is so much I gained from my life aboard the boat that I wrote a book of poetry as an ode to the experience. It was published recently and became a top 10 best-seller on Amazon, a sweet medal to commemorate the experience. I wrote it to share the beauty I witnessed, to sing a song of joy for the life of sailing. A line in the book perfectly sums up how I feel about it all, “The art of sailing, is an art to thrive.”

I hope you get to thrive too, and experience all the joys that sailboat living has to offer.

Social Media Responses to Ray McCormack’s Multihull Article from April 2017 48° North: Jorge O’Leary: There is also such a variety of differences among the multihull designs, that it makes it difficult to generalize. For the charter crowd, this information is good.

Weight has a great effect on performance characteristics. A lighter more performance-type multihull, actually has less stress on the rig despite not heeling, because the boat just generates speed on the puffs, and the speed dissipates the pressures on the entire rigging.

Tim Schofield: I have sailed both mono and multi offshore, both on two-year cruises. There are a few wrong assumptions in this article. First, unless you are chartering a Hobie cat, you won’t lift a hull or under any circumstance capsize a cruising cat... Cats do ok to weather, it all depends on wave height and period. They tack easily, you just need to exaggerate the turn more... My cat was fantastic dead downwind - I did 15,000 miles downwind - it all depends on how you rig her. Motion-wise, it is fantastic for cruising; my wife would cook roast dinners on passage. We would sit as a family with glasses on the table and eat dinner while sailing at 8 knots. I did sail her at up to 17 knots, but felt she was overpowered, so reduced sail. A cat just speeds up when you have too much sail - it is way less risk than a knock down on a monohull... Having sailed both in all conditions these are my counter arguments to the article.

The Seattle Yacht Club lawn Seattle Yacht Club was the place to be for all the pomp and circumstance of Photo courtesy of C-Images the Opening Ceremony. The 1st Corps Army Band Brass Quintet played as Past Admirals and Admiralettes from SYC and visiting Yacht Clubs marched in to form an honor guard. SYC Commodore Lynn Wingard introduced the Opening Day Trio, Admiral Bruce Campbell, Admiralette Sandy Bell, Vice Admiral Randy Holbrook, and many others who played a valuable part in making Opening Day a success.

Weather was a mixed bag of sun and rain, but definitely worth coming out for. The log boom was jammed and there were many spectators along the shoreline.

The firing of a cannon signaled the start of the Opening Day Parade and the opening of the Montlake Cut Bridge. The Virginia V was the first boat in the procession of more than 165 boats to pass through the Cut. Seattle also celebrated Opening Day of boating season festivities with the

31st annual Windermere Cup crew competition at Seattle’s Montlake Cut and the UW crews broke long standing records for the Windermere Cup. Prior to the Windermere Race, Seattle’s own firemen and policemen raced shells, with the police taking honors.

Many boaters took the theme, “Emerald City Aahs” to mean “aahs from Seattle” while others chose the theme from The Wizard of Oz. Decorated boats, such as Lovedrive from Queen City Yacht Club, High Life from Kingston Cove Yacht Club and 3 Boats from Washington Yacht won the “Novelty Decorated Golden Potlatch Trophy.” The “Club Sponsored Decorated boats - Past Commodore’s Trophy” included Knot Now of Gig Harbor YC, Jenn Marie from Tacoma Yacht Club, and Iolani from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “Best Overall Theme AwardAdmiral’s Trophy” went to Knot Now. Over 250 volunteers helped put on this specatular annual event.

In Lowtide The Biz The Center for Wooden Boats’ navigator and true north, Founding Director, Dick Wagner, passed away at home in the presence of his family, on Thursday, April 20, 2017. ***** It was our honor at 48° North to work with Dick Wagner and The Center for Wooden Boats for many years. It was amazing to watch as this gracious and quiet man slowly built up the Center, in an area where perceived progress is rabid. His quest to “never let the new erase the old” was never ending, an undertaking in which his successes are enjoyed and appreciated by us all. In a city whose growth was born on the decks of tall ships, Dick never let us photo by Elena Losey forget the men and vessels, small and large, that constituted Northwest life Eight Bells for in and around the water.

of rowing technique or the boatbuilding history of Lake Union. People ate it up.

He’d steward the mission both in the books he wrote and in his interactions with people. He spoke softly but if you listened carefully he was never one to hold back on how he really felt.

My favorite piece of DickWagner advice was to treat everyone like they were the next million dollar donation walking down the dock, because they might be and because shouldn’t they feel that way anyway… that, and I should remember to oil the oarlocks otherwise the bronze would wear and they would start to chatter and it would screw up the stroke. No, not that oil, I was doing it wrong.

Dedicated to the core, even in his final years, Dick would come to work six or seven days a week. When he wasn’t around, we used to joke that the only way he would ever leave his desk was… well, if I can think of a bright side to his passing, it’s that he can finally take that day off we all talked about.

CWB did a recent video of Dick talking about the history of the organization that he started. There is a link at the CWB site: https://cwb.org Dick was a rare individual who dedicated his life to this mission we all share. Count me among the many who are going to miss him.

—Jake Beattie Executive Director NW Maritime Center ***** He always said, “It’s great to preserve the boats, but the people are more important.” For far too long, boating was the recreation of the elite.

Dick and his wife, Colleen, wanted knowledge about boats to be available to everybody, and the way to do it was to get the people down here.

—Judie Romeo Assistant to the Founding Director ***** In lieu of flowers, Wagner’s family has asked that donations be made to The Center for Wooden Boats. Donations can be made online at cwb.org, over the phone at (206) 382-2628, or in person, 1010 Valley St, Seattle, WA, 98109.

To that a crab pot kit, which usually comes food and didn’t want to compromise we say, come on in, the water’s fine! with a pot, bridle, and 100ft of line. On that. We used to joke that the Ardea For those cruisers who are keen to occasion, they also come with the bait was a catcher-processor-greenhouse eat the myriad of delicious sea snacks bag, weights, and buoys you will need. sailboat... and it really is!

The second step is to buy fishing the Pacific Northwest has to offer, but aren’t sure how to actually catch them, licenses and obtain current sports fishing guides for the areas that you this article is for you!

The first step is to procure fishing will be fishing. Be sure to look at catch gear. A relatively small investment can limits and areas that are closed. The bring tasty rewards. If your budget guides clearly show the fishing areas, is anything like ours, the initial costs specific restrictions, and offer the dates might feel a bit daunting. If this is the of the seasons for each species. In British case, choose one species to target, and Columbia, for example, there are certain build your arsenal slowly. One of the gear setups that are okay in some areas, best places to shop is the annual Seattle but not in others. All of these details Boat Show.

leave it overnight. There are some areas that are just known for good crabbing.

Many avid crabbers have a special spot that they like for its consistently good results. If you observe other crab floats in a certain area, drop your pots there – it could be a great spot! Remember to only keep males and measure them to make certain they are within legal limits.

For salmon, one must first know if the salmon are around to be caught.

When you are out cruising, take some time to talk to the local commercial fishing people. Most are super nice and will tell you if the salmon are running, what species are in, and where. There can be very good fishing near the mouths of rivers, but check restrictions for these areas. Also, fishing near points outside of these areas are great, especially around the tide change.

Salmon like to swim up with the incoming tide, and your chances are better during this time. Chinook (King) salmon seem to prefer a slower trolling speed, in the 2 knot range, and tend to be a little deeper, greater than 60’.

Coho (Silver) salmon and pink salmon bite more on a faster trolling speed (around 4 knots) and tend to be a little shallower than the Kings, less than 60’ deep. Achieving these speeds can be tricky under sail, but we think the fish taste better when we catch them with the sails out! Experiment with reefing your sails to achieve the slower speeds. A disclaimer: These are broad sweeping generalizations and those of you that fish are going to have lots of stories that are completely outside of these parameters. These guidelines generally work well. Definitely ask other cruisers and fisherfolk what has been working for them this season.

For halibut, the aforementioned handline is a great way to go. Attach a circle hook leader and weight to the handline, with a scrap piece of fish affixed to the hook. Drop it down until you feel it hit the bottom, and pull it back up a couple of feet, so it is floating just above the bottom. Halibut like deeper water, 150-300 feet are not uncommon depths for these fish. A note of caution: These fish can be enormous.

My husband, Noj, had an epic wrestling match with a giant halibut he called “Leviathan!” Think very carefully about bringing a large halibut aboard your sailboat. They have been

known to thrash about, breaking boats and bones in the process. If possible, subdue them prior to bringing them on to your boat. One cruiser told us that they pour cheap bourbon directly into a halibut’s mouth to “make it go to sleep.” We have not tried this. A gaff hook is advisable for these fish, due to their wide flat shape.

Ling cod and rockfish live near rocky areas. Once you affix your jig or squid to your line, drop it down to the bottom and reel back up part way.

Then repeatedly lift the rod so that the bait floats up and let it drift back down. This is called jigging, or yo-yo fishing, and if there are fish around, they will likely bite. Check local tackle shops for what the locals have been using that works in your area. A side note: Go easy on the rockfish. They are endangered and protected in a number of areas in British Columbia.

Okay, so you’ve hooked a fish, now what?? First and foremost, shout, “FISH ON!” Keep tension on the line, reeling in slowly. Salmon tend to “run” (and the line will zoom out of the reel).

Let them run and continue to reel in to keep tension on the line. Salmon can be quite feisty. Do not be dismayed when you get them close to the boat and they see the net and run again. Patiently keep reeling them back and scoop them up in the net. Ling cod and rockfish can be feisty as well, but they don’t run like the salmon do. They will jerk on the line quite a bit. Once the fish has been netted and brought aboard, you must bonk the fish on the head to kill it. To ensure the tastiest possible fish, bleed and gut them immediately and put them on ice or in your refrigerator. If you have not had very fresh fish, you are in for a treat! Furthermore, you get to share your fishing adventures with other cruisers. The tales (and tails), grow longer with each telling, and this is the second best thing about fishing!

For many PNW cruisers, fishing isn’t the first activity that comes to mind when you think about a sailing trip, but adding it to your cruising life is enjoyable, enriching, and nutritous.

Give it a try, and share pictures to validate your fishing story!

Committing to Cruising By Windpower

By Patrick Davin Newcomers to sailing might think that sailors spend the majority of their time covering ground under sail, solely moving by the power of the wind.

Experienced coastal cruisers - those who travel from port to port - know this is usually far from reality. Though the Pacific Northwest is a beautiful place to cruise, it is also notorious for light, fickle winds in the summer months.

In between major marinas, it’s often more common to see a sailboat motoring than sailing. The time of year is coming when I’ll see sailboats motoring upwind into a perfect sailing breeze of 10 knots or so, and even sailboats motoring downwind with a light following wind. Often, this is because a lot of cruisers are traveling to a schedule. Plus, for many cruisers, sailing in the PNW is a Goldilocks problem - the wind is always too low or too high, never just right.

Certainly, there’s nothing wrong with motoring if that’s your choice, but we love cruising the PNW by sailpower.

If you’re determined to do so, there can be great rewards to it.

26

Values of Sail-Powered Cruising • Earth-friendly - Sailing uses no fossil fuels while you’re traveling on wind power alone.

• Cheap - Sailing is pocket book friendly too - diesel costs money, and sailing costs very little (the wear and tear on the sails, per mile, is minuscule, especially if you run your cruising sails to their last legs).

• More wildlife - Sea life doesn’t come around a boat running a noisy diesel engine with a spinning prop that could cut them to tiny bits. By sailing more, you have more occasions when porpoises play in your bow wake, seals approach closer, and bears on shore don’t run away when you’re hundreds of feet away.

• Being less reliant on your engine After our transmission died a slow death on our first cruise, I’ve never felt comfortable being completely reliant on having auxiliary power.

Sailing more pushes us to increase our sailing skills and occasionally do things like sail onto and off of anchor.

Last summer we sailed our June 2017

www.48North.com

C&C Landfall 38 over 1300 nautical miles in three months time, using an average of only five gallons of diesel per week. We sailed from Seattle, through the San Juans and Gulf Islands, the Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound, the Broughtons, and Queen Charlotte Strait, then to the South Sound and back to Seattle. About 75% of the mileage was covered under sail.

With three months, many people choose to go to Alaska, and cover more mileage with a whole lot more motoring. But their sail-to-motor ratio reverses, to as high as 90%, 95% or more in motoring. On the other hand, traveling a high percentage of your miles by sail usually means accepting less audacious distance goals. But we were very happy with our decision to prioritize slow paced sail-based cruising over always pushing to further destinations.

There were numerous tips and tricks we learned along the way to make it easier. For starters, a healthy disregard for conventional wisdom helped. We were told people don’t

sail the Inside Passage, that the wind would always be on our nose, and the idea of sailing up narrow straits like Johnstone Strait was considered laughable. None of those things were true, and we sailed both upwind and downwind in Johnstone Strait and many other straits. About 50% of our sailing mileage was downwind.

To be a cruising sailor, a few prerequisites make it more likely to work out: • Allow time and develop patience.

Modern life doesn’t cultivate this.

We get impatient if our YouTube video doesn’t buffer within a couple seconds, or if we have to wait more than a few minutes at a stoplight.

Sailing in light and fluky winds for hours on end requires tremendous patience, and this is a skill that gets stronger through practice.

• Both of you (if you’re a cruising couple, or otherwise everyone onboard) must be motivated to sail rather than motor. If only one person is into it, the other person will get frustrated and vote for motoring.

• Have a boat with good sailing performance, both upwind and downwind. You can do it with a slow, heavy boat, but this is going to make it much harder. 60% of our sailing time last summer was in light wind (4-10 knots).

• The boats best suited for maximum sailing in the PNW are performance oriented and sail upwind like they were born for it. You should be able to move over 2 knots in 5 knots true wind on a close haul or beam reach.

• Your boat must be set up for easy sailing. It took us over a year before our boat was a well oiled sailing machine. Make sure you have a reefing system that is easy and quick, smooth low friction blocks so raising sails is low effort, and know sail configurations for every wind range.

Over the last two years we’ve developed a strategy for maximizing sailing: 1.) Plan short passages. Preferably no more than 20 nautical miles between anchorages. If you have great wind and are making good time, you can shoot for further - plan B. But planning on long days (over 40 miles) is the biggest thing likely to require you to motor.

2.) Route based on the wind. A

big part of our strategy was heavily integrating the wind into our routing.

On a daily and weekly basis we planned our route and destinations to improve our chances of finding good wind. If southerlies were coming, which are fairly rare in the PNW summer, we’d go north as far as we could to use that following wind.

3.) Follow the 15 minute rule. If the wind has died and we’re moving less than 2 knots for 15 minutes, we can turn on the engine. We don’t always do so, but the 15 minute rule allows either of us to declare a starting point when we’re getting tired of slowly drifting, and helps ensure we don’t give up too quickly. Sometimes the wind comes back up after only five minutes, but five minutes can feel like a really long time when you’re drifting at 0.4 knots with the sails eager to luff.

4.) If there’s wind, we GO! If you wake up to 10 knots in your anchorage or marina, you go as soon as possible.

The wind dictates your schedule, not your social plans or normal routine.

5.) Have flexible schedules and timing. If the wind wants you to reverse direction or stay put, why not revisit a

place you’ve already been, or spend a day at anchor? Having plans to meet up with friends or crew can make this one tricky. That’s why cruisers have the expression “you can pick the time or place, but not both.”

6.) Stay close to sailable corridors, areas of the PNW that are reliably windy. This requires experience with local waters, but if you can, don’t sail (or motor) yourself into a corner. We try to avoid going up long narrow inlets (like Jervis Inlet to Princess Louisa) unless we’re really sure the destination is worth it. The Strait of Georgia and northern Puget Sound are good examples of sailable corridors. Ideal anchorages along a sailable corridor are often an outside anchorage - like Cabbage Island in the Gulf Islands, which allows you to quickly get out to the Strait of Georgia on a light wind day, or duck into the Gulf Islands on a high wind day.

This year we’re heading out to the west coast of Vancouver Island, and hope to do something we’ve never done - sail out the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

Dinner with Pirates

The Bumpy Road to Cruising Confidence The candy-striped spine of a paperback, a dowdy history volume, and the aged cloth binding of a retired library book sit stacked on Totem’s main cabin table. This unlikely combination has a singular theme: the Caribbean, from an epic novel to political history.

They are not guide books, but signposts to better understand and appreciate where Totem takes us.

Travel guides serve a purpose; mainly it’s to avoid missteps by showing the way to enjoyably explore a foreign place. Cruising references were constant companions on the bedside table before we departed, well-thumbed manuals studied to prepare. Their vivid photographs served as reminders and inspiration to get through the obstacles that might keep us from cutting dock lines, while the contents provided comforting knowledge by matter-offactly addressing processes and rules to follow.

Looking back on nearly 3,200 days afloat, it’s hard to mark just

when confidence took hold. Rather than a singular moment, it unfolds in experiences along the way. Skills build over time, with repetition. Repetition brings understanding and confidence.

Anchoring 491 times (as of today) has fostered confidence in our ability to set the anchor well.

Every day, decisions are made that impact our safety. Does a shift in the weather forecast mean we should move to a more protected spot, or is our current location okay? Can we safely go through the shortcut pass to a new anchorage, or is there any question about chart accuracy or tide timing?

This scenario played out in April. We felt confident assessing the conditions to transit notorious Current Cut in Eleuthera Island, Bahamas. As a first timers to the cut, we got a lot of wellintended advice, which boiled down to transiting at slack tide and avoiding the Kraken. I’m sure someone mentioned a Kraken! We started reassuring advisors by saying, “dude, we learned this after

Swimming with sharks, having dinner with perceived pirates, or trusting your anchoring skills - good judgment and confidence come from experience and repetition.

going through Cattle Pass against the tide!” This seemed to do the trick.

Early in our cruising adventures, Totem bobbed at anchor off Santa Cruz Island on the California coast.

The rugged island’s interesting history occupied my mind as I cared for our young children below, while Jamie went out for a kayak paddle.

A couple hours later, a bedraggled Jamie appeared in the companionway.

Paddling to the island, he managed the waves well until a larger set managed him! He was rolled and lost his glasses in the surf. Shaken confidence can be a great teacher.

The following month we found ourselves tucked next to an idyllic curve of beach on the Pacific coast of Baja. After a two-day sail, our children needed to run on the beach. Here, too, it’s essential to time wave sets just right for a beach landing. Despite waiting patiently for the “perfect conditions,” like countless greenhorn cruisers in Mexico before us, we flipped the dinghy in the surf—a somewhat traumatic experience for the kids. We learned from cruisers who came to our aid that every other dinghy on the beach that afternoon had flipped as well.

In both scenarios, a false sense of confidence resulted in poor judgment calls. Did we need those smacks to jar us from diffidence? Possibly. And possibly it worked, as neither situation has been repeated.

A base of experience forges confidence in decision-making. Yet new cruisers get tripped by thinking success in their pre-cruising decision making (in career, business, life) will extend to smart decisions on the water.

Not only is there no correlation, the opposite may be true.

It’s well known in the aviation community (which closely analyses accidents) that pilots with a moderate amount of experience—about 500 hours—have a much higher accident rate than new or more experienced pilots. In cruising, too, moderate experience lends complacency by leading people to feel they know more than they do.

Trouble-free early days can lead to

complacency. We’ve seen in ourselves, and in others, that it’s just when we think we’ve got this cruising gig kinda figured out that poor judgment calls are made. A few months after we flipped the dinghy in Bahia Santa Maria, we watched from the cockpit as a neighboring catamaran started dragging across the anchorage. They’d been cruising Mexico for about a year and felt confident going ashore promptly after dropping the hook, despite this lagoon’s reputation for poor holding. They were lucky that Jamie and another cruiser set a second anchor for them before their boat reached mangroves and mud bank.

Cruising confidence anneals over time. Several years later, we anchored between two islands in a remote corner of eastern Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim country (by population). While Jamie and Niall tidied Totem after our passage, the girls and I went off for our first swim in what is reputed to be among the most biodiverse marine environments in the world. While our heads were underwater, a speed boat roared up to Totem. The crew clustered on board wore camouflage and cloth masks. They came along side Totem and starting boarding uninvited. What would you do? Jamie was alarmed but considered situational context and didn’t panic. Piracy made no sense in this part of Indonesia and in a marine preserve. The kicker was when he noticed a man carrying a clipboard, a weapon wielded mainly by bureaucrats.

The visitors turned out to be rangers for the marine park, come to ensure that our paperwork was in order. We became friends, inviting the “pirates” for dinner. This situation could easily have been interpreted differently, with a bad outcome.

When teenage circumnavigator Zac Sunderland sailed through Indonesia, he was unnerved when trailed by a mysterious boat. He was advised via satellite phone to load his gun and be ready to shoot. Guess he didn’t know that Indonesian mariners often cover their faces with cloth to block the sun, fisherman often speed closely past boats to shed evil spirits, or pause to check out the strange visitor and ask for water.

A daily dose of decisions is not

unique to cruising, but the problems cruisers face lack the familiar patterns of a more conventional lifestyle. Practice, skill building, repetition, patience, unassuming attitude, context, more repetition, observation, and occasional shaken confidence build sailors poised for better decisions. There is no end of opportunities to make poor choices.

Here in the Bahamas, our guidebook describes bad holding in one anchorage after another. Reading this guidance is unnerving, and glamorous marina advertisements alongside offer an appealing alternative. Confident

in our anchoring, we choose to test it ourselves, and found conditions different—and better—than described.

Instead of thick grass or hard pan, there was nice sand with scattered turtle fodder. But we still didn’t leave Totem on a shore run right after anchoring.

There’s no rush, and it’s prudent to see how we set up; besides, a little time spent gaining confidence in our chosen spot is the perfect time to read a book.

Race to Alaska Preview by

Joe Cline

On June 8, Race to Alaska (R2AK) begins in Port Townsend. The no-motorsno-support adventure race to Ketchikan promises to be different than either of the previous years, both in competition and in conditions. The excitement and intigue for 2017 includes the addition of a second $10,000 cash prize (the winner gets the first $10k). This second cash prize is available to any boat that, upon arrival in Ketchikan, is willing to sell their boat to the race organizers for $10,000. I’ve had the good fortune to sail with a few R2AKers on their boats, and this month, I got to sail with a team that’s vying for the second $10,000 prize.

Team Global Diving

Columbia Sabre 32 Katy and Elan Stewart, Emily Silgard, Caroline McKee-Silva Team Global is, in my opinion, one of the purest examples of what Race to Alaska is all about. Two members of this team, sisters Katy and Emily, completed the race last year as Team Onism (which also included their friend Jenny). In that 2016 R2AK, they were racing the family boat, a trimaran their father built. Despite adversity like a severe burn Emily suffered early in the race, they finished the race in 13 days, and I’m not sure anybody who raced in 2016 had more fun.

That said, Emily, who downplays her sailing knowledge, remembered thinking in Ketchikan, ‘R2AK 2017?

Hell no!’ Yet, after a few months, the conversation re-opened, and this time it involved Emily and Katy’s sister, Caroline, and Katy’s husband, Elan.

Katy, who is a professional mariner for the team’s sponsor Global Diving and Salvage, has known a lifetime on the water. She is a legit 30

sailor by every definition of the world, commercial and recreational. She was the captain on Team Onism, and once again assumes that mantle for Team Global in 2017. She’ll likely share some of the responsibility with her husband, Elan, who was Katy’s cruising partner when they sailed their 29’ boat to Mexico, Hawaii, and back. Elan is also a licensed captain and works in the commercial maritime world.

Caroline is the wild-card on the team. Like her sisters, she grew up sailing with their dad, but says, “I’ve been upping my sailing chops recently.” She also acknowledged that she is “definitely going to learn a lot on this race.” She is psyched about the wilderness and the wildlife, and was as excited and awestruck when Emily reminded her that the sun never sets when you get far north!

While Team Global seem to have no designs on winning outright, they June 2017

www.48North.com

are serious contenders for the second $10,000 prize. Greener, their 50-yearold boat is, to me, kind of fascinating.

Columbia is a prolific builder of fiberglass sailboats, but I’m accustomed to Columbia boats that are, shall we say, a bit tubbier. The Columbia Sabre is 32 feet of impossibly narrow pointing machine. It’s beam is just over six feet... six feet! An Etchells is shorter and still wider. As I approached the boat to go sailing with the members of Team Global, I genuinely did a double take.

This is narrowest boat I’ve ever sailed, maybe the narrowest I’ve ever seen.

The Sigurd Herburn design used a mold built to fit the International 5.5 measurement rule, and thus has a good reputation for sailing well to weather.

That’s exactly what Team Global has in mind, Emily’s response to why this boat: “Point higher, go faster!” Their stated goal is to try to get to Ketchikan two days faster than they did on the Onism trimaran, and they chose this boat because of its value and its upwind performance. This platform also allowed them to add a fourth crewmember, and gives them more options for watches, as the boat can easily be sailed by one person.

Greener is also well prepared for those no-wind moments, and that was part of what drew Elan to the boat. An advantage of the SUPER narrow boat is that it makes it easier to row with centered stations. Greener is setup with two rowing stations, one in the cockpit and another on the bow. The boat also has a motor well in the cockpit, which will have a pedal drive in it. Two rowers and a pedal drive - that should

Holy narrow boat, Batman.

move a boat with comparatively little wetted surface pretty nicely, even if it does weigh 4500 lbs.

So, they want to go fast, and clearly this means sailing round the clock, but as Elan put it, “We plan to sail non-stop, but I want to reserve the right to have a campfire on the beach if I want to.” I liked the approach. It’s kind of a work hard, play hard style. Putting it into context, however, I think Team Global will need to keep the pedal down pretty hard to have a chance at the $10,000.

Looking at last year’s results, of the 15 boats that finished in eleven days or fewer (two days faster than their finish in the 2016 R2AK), there were only two boats that, in my estimation, might have considered the $10,000 buyback - pretty good odds! The others would be valued well above that. On the other hand, I would venture that nine of the eleven boats that finished the 2016 R2AK in more than eleven days would have at least discussed the buyback $10K, if it had been offered.

So, if Team Global is really angling for the buyback bucks, they won’t want to make many fires on the beach, and will want to reach their 11-day goal.

The Columbia Sabre 32 got to show some of what it’s designed to do best when we all went sailing on Commencement Bay in late May. We were short one of the team, since Katy is still out to sea with Global Diving and Salvage. So, Elan, Emily, Caroline, and I set sail in a fluky 5-10 knot southerly.

The boat quickly heeled, and Elan noted that the boat has a reputation for being tender. We talked further and agreed that, like the Etchells or other designs with significant overhangs, the heel is a good thing, increasing effective waterline. While many call it tender, what the narrow boat lacks in hull form stability, it makes up for with ballast. The long fin keel boasts 2800 lbs of ballast. For those keeping score, that’s at 62% ballast to displacement ratio!

The mighty Greener heeled over and moved ahead with a gentle motion in the flat water. I drove a little, and was impressed with her tracking. The rudder is on the trailing edge of the keel, and it was easy to strike a very nice balance, one where I could let go of the helm for at least 5 seconds before needing to make a slight correction.

One of two rowing stations, and they will have a pedal drive, too!

The team has been busy with projects, and they’ve been grateful for the help of the sisters’ boat-builder father. They’ve reinforced some squishy bulkheads, and the deck at the jib tack. They’ve added some R2AKfriendly mods like solar power and a custom gimbaled stove, as well as the human power elements.

Team Global are pure R2AK. They live for the adventure, and are most looking forward to parts of R2AK that aren’t very race-oriented. Their ample skills are evident, but not broadcast.

Their boat is cool, and a little weird.

And they will be seriously fun to follow!

Galley Essentials with Amanda In preparation for our expedition season, John and I had allowed a few more weeks to ourselves aboard Mahina Tiare to give our new engine a thorough sea trial. To achieve the engine warranty inspection, we had to clock up 50 engine hours. When we discussed the best way to accomplish this, I suggested a round trip from Gothenburg to Oslo.

Located on the outskirts of Oslo, in the town of Vollum the Oslofjordmusset, is a modern new interactive maritime museum that not only traces the history of boating in Norway, but also boatbuilding. The museum sits on the small bay of Maudbukta where Roald Amundsen built his polar ship Maud for his 1920’s explorations and where the Anker and Jensen boatyard launched more than 350 prestigious racing yachts from 1905 to 1940. We moored Mahina Tiare nearby and our presentations were well received by Oslo’s keen sailors.

The museum’s café was a wonderful place to socialize with our new friends and we soon became addicted to the café’s morning pancakes.

Norwegian Pancakes - Lapper 4 eggs ½ cup sugar 4 cups flour ½ teaspoon salt 4 cups plain kefir (or substitute buttermilk) 3 teaspoons baking soda 2 tablespoons of sour cream (optional) butter Dissolve baking soda in the kefir and set aside.

It’s also home to the Holmenkollen National Arena for Nordic skiing and biathlon events, and its impressive ski jumping hill is so large it can be seen from Oslo’s waterfront.

We dined on rømmegrøt (sour cream porridge), meat balls and potatoes finishing with slice of divine lemon almond cake.

Upon our return to Gothenburg, our new engine was given its check out and certification and we set sail on the first of our season’s expeditions across the North Sea to Orkney. After crew change in Orkney, we sailed back to Norway in blustery winds making landfall at the Krossfjorden south of Bergen. After a quiet motor through the fjord we arrived at Bergen’s downtown quay very late Saturday night to find the city in full swing. Too tired to join in the partying we went to bed and awoke the next morning ready to explore. Sadly, Norwegian cities are shut tight on Sundays but thank goodness the waterfront fish market was buzzing and I was able to sample beet chutney and pick up supplies to create fish soup.

ASK THE SURVEYOR

by Tom Averna

Hi Tom, I’m enjoying your articles. We recently took our boat out of the water to paint the bottom and noticed a horizontal crack running along the upper portion of the keel. I don’t remember seeing that before. Any ideas? I hope the keel isn’t falling off.

Mark Rosen Anacortes, WA. On boats that have a bolt on ballast keel, a crack between the ballast and the keel stub is commonly caused by the seam and fairing compound deteriorating. The age of those compounds, however, is not the only cause of keel joint cracking; it could also be an issue with the keel bolts, which I consider to be one of the weak links in the chain. They are an out-of-sightout-of-mind component that require periodic careful inspection. Keel bolts have a life span: approximately 20 years for stainless bolts, 15 years for iron bolts, and 30 years for bronze.

There are always exceptions to the rule.

I’ve seen keel bolts that are 40 years old and look new. The bottom line is that your keel boats are not maintenancefree for the life of the boat.

On a typical survey of a fiberglass sailboat with a bolt on keel, I do an initial walk around when the boat is on dry dock to look for any obvious defects or damage. The keel joint is part of that initial inspection. If there is a crack at the seam, I’ll open up the crack slightly to probe a little deeper.

Often, I discover the fairing compound that was used to smooth the joint was a Bondo (polyester)

Keel joint cracking on display.

type fairing compound. That type of compound doesn’t like movement and shouldn’t be used at the keel joint. I can guarantee it will crack eventually.

Obvious signs of failing keel bolts are rust streaks and water leaking from the keel joint when the boat is hauled out. Any water penetration in to the joint can compromise the stainless bolts by causing corrosion.

Stainless steel is vulnerable to crevice and pitting corrosion when deprived of oxygen. Even though the bolt heads and nuts might look fairly good in the bilge, the bolt could be corroded in the keel where you can’t see. This is called the “carrot effect.” Testing the bolts with a magnet will give you an idea of the quality of the stainless used. High quality stainless steel like Aquamet 22 or Type 316 is non-magnetic and has a less potential for corrosion.

In any case, if there is significant corrosion evident, it’s time to think about replacing the keel bolts. How much corrosion is significant? It’s a tough call. The age of the boat, the maintenance history, and the builder can give you facts to base your decision on. Always err on the safe side.

The only part of the keel bolts and nuts that a surveyor can see are in the bilge, and even there, bolts could be hidden beneath the engine, fuel or water tanks. Hopefully the bilge is dry and clean enough to see the bolts. The nuts and washers should be clean of corrosion and rust without any apparent signs of leaking. If these parts look good, I’ll feel more confident about the rest of the bolt I can’t see.

It’s also important to look at the area around the bolts for any cracking or deformities. If there is a grid type liner in the bilge, look for cracks around the bolts as well. Cracking may also be caused by compressive stresses and June 2017

groundings.

I surveyed a boat in Miami for an owner that was planning on cruising to the Bahamas. When the boat was hauled out, the keel joint crack was oozing rust in big brown drops. It was pretty obvious there was a problem.

The keel bolts were corroding. I looked in the bilge, and the steel nuts were practically dissolved into a layer of rust.

There was also evidence the bolts were leaking in to the bilge. With rusted nuts and the rust streaks coming from the keel joint, the decision to replace the bolts was easy. I later caught up with the owner who told me the old bolts were totally corroded, especially in the middle of the bolt (the carrot effect). A very poor quality stainless steel had been used for the bolts. The threads were gone on all but two bolts. The boatyard thought only those two bolts were holding the ballast keel in place.

A rough Gulf Stream crossing might have spelled disaster. I don’t even like to think about that.

As preventative maintenance, I recommend re-torquing the nuts occasionally and keeping the bilge dry and clean. Open up the cabin sole hatches when you’re not aboard, let the bilge ventilate and stay dry. If you have to replace the keel bolts, most boatyards are equipped for such a job.

Don’t just replace the worst lookign bolt. Replace them all!

Keel bolts are generally designed and (in most cases) overbuilt as well as redundant. Despite some recent highprofile cases of lost keels, it is fairly rare to hear of a keel falling off without warning because the keel bolts failed.

Just don’t overlook periodic inspection and keep the bilge dry and clean.

Sailor Profiles: Rent, Share, or Own?

Sharing, Learning,

and

Experiencing Variety

By Cara Kuhlman

In this ongoing series, we speak to sailors about a decision each of us faces - how to go sailing? Throughout the Pacific Northwest, sailing clubs, charter operations, rental programs, boat share services, informal partnerships, and traditional boat ownership all offer sailors a solution, but how do people choose? In this second installment, members of various sailing clubs or boat share programs in Seattle talk about how, and why, they chose to get on the water by in this way.

Aron Johnson Started sailing in Seattle, WA Favorite crew: Wife Annalise and daughter Daphne Current club/share organization: Seattle Sailing Club (SSC) Cara Kuhlman: Tell me about your sailing background.

Aron: I’d been sailing, but I hadn’t grown up sailing. Starting to sail was something we made a conscious decision to do as a family activity.

Our daughter is now five, but around two we thought, “Do we want to be sitting on the sidelines at a soccer game or do something all together?”

We started taking ASA (American Sailing Association) classes at Seattle Sailing Club in January 2015 and went on our first family sail in April 2015.

At SSC, you have to take classes through ASA 103 to take a boat out on your own, so that became our goal. Then we went through ASA 104 Bareboat Cruising. Annalise and I have worked to have parity in our classes and experiences.

Why did you decide to start with classes at Seattle Sailing Club?

We knew we weren’t going to buy a boat right away. We wanted to see if we liked it. I knew I wanted to learn on Puget Sound instead of the lakes.

Seattle Sailing Club appeared to have the most boats and most reasonable options for monthly membership. With access to 30 different boats including popular one-designs, that’s pretty awesome.

I was single or didn’t have a child, it would be an outstanding way to meet people and make friends.

We have a great time talking to the staff in the office and on the dock.

Everyone is really friendly and has a wealth of knowledge. It’s not like a yacht club where there is a restaurant with leather chairs, folks smoking cigars and stuff.

How often do you sail?

We sail just about every weekend year-round. We want to build up our skills as fast as we can and experience every different kind of weather.

Around here, some of the best wind is in the cold and rain.

Have you sailed outside of SSC? We haven’t started chartering outside the club. We don’t have a ton of other friends outside of the club who sail, and those who do don’t want to go out until August.

I think it would be different if SSC didn’t have as many boats and it was difficult to get a boat sometimes. Even in the height of summer, we can get a boat; maybe not our first choice, but we can still go sailing.

We’ve done overnights through the club and, while it can be a little spendy, I think it is still good value in “boat money” terms.

Would you consider owning a boat?

Yes. The decision to join SSC was about learning if we like it, and we’ve checked that off with stars, sparkles, and everything else. We plan to sail these boats for a year or two before we buy. That’ll give us practice docking and anchoring so that when we get our boat, probably a 35-40 foot boat, we’ll have more experience.

What do you expect will be different about owning vs. sharing?

Sometimes when you tell people you’re part of the club, they dismiss it because you aren’t doing boat maintenance, cleaning the bilge, and such. However, there’s already so much to learn, and it would be hard to do it all at once. When we get our boat, we won’t be both learning to sail and focusing on the systems. It’s a nice way to break up the learning curve.

How has SSC’s community impacted your experience?

For us it’s a little different because we’re a sailing family, we might not interact as much as others. We participate in some of the regattas and flotillas, which are fun. However, if www.48North.com

June 2017

What’s been the best part of your sailing experience?

Well, hopefully that my daughter loves it. It’s always about making her comfortable and having fun. We don’t want the rail in the water and everyone terrified. If it’s windy with 4 foot waves, Daphne isn’t happy so no one is happy.

I think it’s important when she’s young that she has a positive, fun experience.

She’s the primary starfish and dolphin-hunter onboard. She always holds the stern line when casting off.

She tails on the winches (even when they’re self-tailing) and talks your head off about her favorite boat words.

Sounds like she’s taken to it! What would you tell someone at a crossroads, deciding to buy, share, or rent a boat?

It really depends on your sailing experience. If we had purchased our 35

first boat pick at the very beginning, we’d be lugging around in a full keel Hans Christian and hardly point anywhere. Through the club we’ve learned how important it is to point upwind to get home. I’d probably think of it as a very expensive mistake.

I can’t think of a downside to the club except if you were going to do it indefinitely. As a bridge, it’s ideal.

A club is a good way to get more experience and learn about different boat types. The variety of boats is a strength of this particular club.

What would you tell someone getting started with a boat-sharing program?

I wish I would’ve know I needed my Washington Boater ID card. I wish I’d known not to back over your dinghy line, because that’ll get wrapped up in the prop. Having insurance is a good thing – that’s available through the club.

Every single boat is rigged differently, even within the same design, like the J/80 fleet. What you’re going to hate is that every boat is rigged differently. What you’re going to love is that you’ll learn a lot of different ways to do the same thing. That’s really useful.

Also, the notion that you’re not going to get any practice fixing things that break – that’s not going to happen.

You’ll be out sailing and stuff still breaks when you’re underway, whether it’s the engine cutting out or line breaking.

You’re not in the bilges upside down, but you’re still fixing stuff and learning about boat maintenance.

Brynn Baker Started sailing in the Caribbean Favorite crew: Husband Paul Current club/share organization: Puget Sound Sailing Institute (PSSI) Tell me about your sailing background.

Brynn: I grew up in Olympia and my family had ski boats, but neither 36

Paul nor I grew up sailing. We both love being out on the water, though.

It all started when we went sailing on Hobie Waves during our honeymoon in the Caribbean. We loved it. After that, we got a membership at Sail Sand Point and did some small boat sailing.

That was great, but ultimately our big goal is to be competent enough to sail to the San Juans or do a weekend trip.

Why did you decide to start with classes at the Puget Sound Sailing Institute?

Paul and I had been researching for a long time, trying to explore every possible option. PSSI had just added the boat share program in Bell Harbor, and we liked their pricing and policies.

They also have boats in Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Anacortes. We liked that they offered small, 4-person classes on the boats we’d be able to use.

Would you consider owning a boat?

Yes, definitely. Right now, we couldn’t afford a sailboat, but we would not hesitate to own a boat if we could. I think a house may come first.

With the worry of jinxing something, in sailing I think we’ve found “it” - that thing that we will love for the rest of our lives. We plan on being part of a club this year, to confirm that we actually will sail as much as we think we will. Then, we’ll start looking at a 1/4 share, or purchasing a sailboat.

What appeals to you about the sailing club/sharing model?

We basically found three options: join a sailing club or share program; do a private share with other boat owners; or to charter when we want to go. Chartering was by far the most expensive option and doing a private share would be tough because we didn’t know how to sail yet. So, we settled on the first option. We also get to learn more about what kind of boat we might want to buy by sailing different boats.

We’re pretty busy right now, so showing up at the dock and having the boat ready to go is a big one too, as is not having to deal with maintenance or moorage fees. Having grown up around boats, I know the money pit they can be.

Taking ASA classes at PSSI, after you complete ASA 101 you can take the boats out for day sails. Then if you take June 2017

www.48North.com

the coastal cruising class, you can take the boats out overnight. They have bareboat chartering certifications and a lot of classes that we’re interested in to increase our knowledge enough so we can justify owning or sharing a boat.

How were your first classes at PSSI? Their maximum of 4 students means that everyone gets tons of hands on sailing time, and very individualized attention. We spent two full days out on Elliott Bay in a 22’ Capri, and we were in absolute heaven. We loved it so much we opted in to the highest-level membership which includes unlimited rental sailing.

We were pleasantly surprised with our sailing ability and confidence sailing the larger boats. It was more comfortable than sailing FJs (which we’d previously done at Sail Sand Point). We could move around the boat, sit down, and in general had a much more comfortable sailing experience.

For us, it also seemed easier than sailing the smaller FJs. Mistakes had less severe consequences (at least in moderate winds we were sailing in) FJs were so easy to flip. What a relief!

That being said, I think our base of sailing knowledge from Sail Sand Point was hugely helpful in this course.

Knowing wind direction and sail trim is so important in the little boats, and that translated very well onto the keel boat.

What would you tell someone at a crossroads, deciding whether to buy, share, or rent a boat?

I recommend evaluating each individual situation. Each of the options have different benefits. If we were in a different financial situation or had more knowledge, we might have done something different.

In terms of the sailing shares, I was really surprised how many there were around Seattle and how different each one is. There’s huge price, benefit, and fleet differences. We’re excited, and ready to be done with our research and just enjoy things now.

What are you most excited for?

Getting to be out on the water. One of our favorite date days was to take the ferry to Bremerton because that got us out on the water. I’m excited to be able to do that on our own.

their classes and good charter selection.

How often do you sail?

Four or five times per year.

Kevin Lisota Started sailing on Elliott Bay, Seattle.

Favorite crew: The ones who follow instructions about footwear - last year someone wore 4-inch heels!

Current club/share organization: Windworks Sailing & Powerboating Tell me about your sailing background.

Kevin: I grew up in Wisconsin, where we spent summers at one of the numerous small lakes in northern Wisconsin. We were more about ski boats and pontoon boats, as the lakes we too small for sailing.

Why did you decide to join Windworks?

I wanted to learn to sail, and my friend recommended Windworks for

What appeals to you about the sailing club/sharing model?

I like the flexibility and cost of being able to pick from the charter fleet. Sometimes I have a big group of ten people; other times, only a couple.

Also, I’ve rented a couple of sweet boats that I would never be able to afford as a purchase.

Would you consider owning a boat?

Probably not. I don’t sail often enough to justify the cost. Besides, I have a hard enough time keeping up on the maintenance of my home. A boat would just add to that task list.

Is there anything you feel like is missing from doing a boat share?

Around popular holidays, boats may not be available, and I’m not great about planning ahead. It would be nice to have it available at a moment’s notice.

How have Windworks’ community or

programs impacted your experience?

They have a good selection of classes and if you want to go out sailing, there is a mailing list of people looking for captains or crew.

What’s been the best part of your sailing experience?

Being out on the water with friends, especially ones who haven’t experienced sailing before. Puget Sound is a great place for cruising.

What would you tell someone at a crossroads, deciding whether to buy, share or rent a boat?

It’s all about how much you’ll use the boat. Be honest with yourself and stick with renting if your use isn’t very frequent. Buying a boat and putting it into a shared pool is an interesting option. Windworks does this. While the boats get used a lot, their crew does a nice job of maintenance. You can pay that boat loan with the proceeds.

Look around at the various options, particularly note the charter selection. Does the program have the size of boats you’re looking for? And how easy or hard is it to reserve a boat?

Did your husband grow up sailing?

No, interestingly enough. He grew up going to the Jersey shore, so he’d be out near the water, but not boating.

But now, as we’re getting on the water he’s really taking to it. We’ve been together for 20 years, and this has been a neat adventure for our relationship. It’s really awesome and exciting to explore together!

Christy LoMauro Started sailing in the Northeast Favorite crew: Her family Current club/share organization: Carefree Boat Club Tell me more about your sailing background. How did you find sailing?

Christy: Well, I think the accurate statement is that sailing found me.

I grew up on the water. Some of my first memories are being on a sailboat with my family. I lived on two different sailboats during my childhood. My family and I actually built one of those boats, and did some cruising. Sailing and the water is in my blood.

For many years I was away from the water. Throughout the years, I looked into buying and became aware of boating clubs. I considered them on more than one occasion, but being married with two kids, and our kids having their own sports, we were just too busy.

A lot of people would ask, “Why don’t you just buy your own boat?”

They don’t realize that owning a boat is work. You’ve got to put time into it, which isn’t all fun time. It’s maintenance, upkeep, you name it.

Since we moved to the Northwest from south Florida three years ago, one of the things we love most about this area is the water: the lakes, the Puget Sound, and the San Juan Islands.

I desperately wanted to get us on the water and so did my husband.

We came across Carefree Boat Club, and with the variety that they offer, it had everything we were looking for.

It had something for teenagers, and something for us.

38

I understand Carefree Boat Club also offers motorboats, do you ever use those?

We use both the powerboats and sailboats. We’ve even been out in the little sailing dinghy. We’re using everything and intend to continue to do that. Over the years, whenever we would think about buying a boat, I would think “sailboat” and my husband and kids thought, “Motorboat! Waterskiing!” So for us, when we realized we could have such a variety of location and boats, that really spoke to us.

Anything you didn’t expect about your experience?

Yes. I think the way that Carefree Boat Club caters to people is unique.

They’re a national operation, and they reach out and really try to understand the types of boats that people want access to and where. I think that’s an excellent approach and really helpful.

They’re very good at having the members mingle. We met a few people over the holidays that we can reach out to now. We all want to continue building, or re-building, our sailing skills together.

What would you tell someone at a crossroads, deciding whether to buy, share,or rent a boat?

I would look at the advantages, disadvantages, pros and cons. If I had plenty of time and didn’t mind putting in the labor of love, the maintenance and the vigilance of owning, I’d purchase my own boat.

If you get right down to it, it’s either a labor of love you enjoy or it isn’t. If you fall on the side that it isn’t, then I strongly recommend looking at some version of a boating club or share.

If we were going to do long, extended cruises, I’d consider owning my own boat. You really have to go in with your eyes wide open, though.

The club model is perfect for us. If I had the decision to do over again, I think we’d make the exact same one.

Jennifer Harkness Started sailing in Kansas Favorite crew: Team Puff (The Sirens) Current club/share organization: Seattle Sailing Club (SSC) Tell me about your sailing background.

Jennifer: I grew up sailing in Kansas, of all places. We sailed on little Lasers in man-made reservoirs - essentially muddy ditches with high winds.

In my twenties, I sailed small boats again, like the Snipe, in Oregon. After that, I took a 15-year hiatus and just got back into sailing last year.

What made you decide to join SSC? I had been pining away to get on the water and I found one of SSC’s Groupons, so I decided to take the ASA 101 class and see what it’s like to be on the water here. It started the love affair all over again. I realized I needed to be on the water as much as possible.

So I joined the club and now I’ve gone all the way through ASA 106. It’s been an incredible experience.

Do you sail outside of your classes?

I do. As someone who lives alone and didn’t know anyone in Seattle, the club was ideal. The very first class I took was with another women and we became friends. With my membership I can take boats out whenever I want, so we go out when the wind is good. I try to get out a few times a week if I can.

Last summer, I started doing the women’s sailing program for the

Ballard Cup series. So great! I met other women there and got to sail with skipper, Margaret Pommert. It built instant community and was really special because we were all women supporting each other. Some of the team had never even sailed before!

We didn’t start out as a team, just individuals wanting to sail. The club put us together and there was a lot of camaraderie and learning. We loved it and we’re doing it again this year!

Sometimes I feel women approach things differently, and I felt it was a very supportive environment to learn and have some girl power! I’ve met some great guys I sail with too, but there’s something special about our allwomen team. We’re trying to empower, that’s the biggest word of our team.

Beyond this, events like the flotillas to destinations around the Sound introduced me to a bunch of new people. I’ve made a lot of sailing friends that way and we enjoy getting on the water together.

Awesome! What boat do you race on?

Well, that’s what I love about the club, we get to take out a J/105 for the

races, but I also get to sail so many types of boats there. My goal is to buy a boat at some point, so it’s a good opportunity to try a bunch out, see what I like and don’t like.

Well that answers my next question if you’d ever consider owning a boat! Why would you prefer to own a boat eventually?

I’d like to live on a boat in the next couple years. For me, SSC was a really great investment to a) really learn more about sailing, cruising and racing, b) to meet community, and c) have access to a lot of different kinds of boats.

The variety of boats has been huge, especially learning the rigging and the engines. I talk to the staff a lot and find that really helpful. Everything that I have experienced is pertinent to owning a boat, so I feel like it’s a good step.

Was there anything you found challenging when you first joined SSC? I was nervous about getting yelled at because I had some sailing experiences in my youth sailing with people who yelled at me. Thankfully, that has never happened at the club.

I was also nervous about meeting

new people. I thought, ‘What if I mess up? What if I wreck the boat?’ Those kind of insecurities are natural. I’ve had my fair share of mess-ups, but everyone is super supportive and inclusive, and it’s a learning experience.

I’m starting to feel prepared, ready to go cruising on my own, and do it well. Plus, with the experience I’ve gained at SSC, I’m getting more invites to sail with other boats.

What would you tell someone at a crossroads, deciding whether to buy, share or rent?

I’m at that crossroads! Sharing time and experience through the club gives me a variety of experiences, from the people to the boats. Sailing is one of those things where you’re always learning, every single time you’re out on the water. So, going out a lot is best.

The boats are always ready to go, They’ll come out and get me if the engine dies, which is a safe bet as I gain confidence. I look forward to owning my boat eventually and being able to really learn and master all the systems.

A Roller Furler

By Alex and Jack Wilken

Taking the time to hank on or feed a headsail into a groove on a foil can be both time consuming and require additional hands. Changing headsails for heavy weather can also be challenging, especially since this can be the most dangerous time to go forward. A roller furler can make all of this headsail handling easier and safer.

There are many kinds of furlers: for mains, headsails, and spinnakers, sometimes utilizing electric or hydraulic aids. In this article, we will cover how to select a manual roller furler for a headsail, how to install it (note that variances in design may change the progression of installation steps) and some of the tips for making the most of it. Many sailors may hire a professional to complete this install, but if you’re the DIY-type, you can do this on your own.

Selection: The first consideration is how do you plan to use your furler?

Are you racing or cruising? Cruising furlers tend to be heavier and often cheaper, and they usually shorten the sail by raising the tack to accommodate the drum (Figure 1). If you are racing, then you likely care about the luff length of your headsail and may choose a low profile furler, or even an underdeck furler. Some roller furlers

have removable drums that leave a racing foil for a full hoist headsail.

Others have continuous furling lines in order to shorten the drum (Figure 2).

The size of your boat is the next consideration. Manufacturers carry a range of furling units that specify the intended boat size for each model. In selecting a unit, take into account that there is room for the drum diameter and a reasonable location for the fairlead for the furling line on your boat. Identifying such restrictions and resolving them before you purchase the unit and attempt installation can save you a headache.

Purchasing: Once you have selected your roller furler, find a reliable, local dealer, if possible. Having good customer support can be essential going forward. Each manufacturer tries to ensure appropriate fit and components by requiring a list of measurements before purchasing. The measurements include the length of the headstay, its diameter, and the clevis pin diameter. You should download the installation manual for your unit and read it thoroughly, too, so there aren’t unpleasant surprises.

The method of connecting the furler to the tack needs to be determined before purchase. This is because the orientation of the clevis pin varies, as does the available space above it.

Additionally, you need to know much clearance is needed below the unit for anchors and other gear (Figure 1).

Once you have done this and consulted with your local dealer and/or the manufacturer, you can order the roller furler and the additional parts required.

Pre-installation: Unless the headstay is nearly brand new, you should probably replace it as part of installing the roller furler. Once the furler is installed, there will be no way to inspect the headstay without taking it down and removing the aluminum extrusion. When measuring the headstay, it is important to measure pin to pin; but before you measure, June 2017

www.48North.com

make sure the rig is properly tuned (reference our article on mast tuning in the June 2013 48° North). Accurate pin-to-pin measurement will require someone to go up the mast and hold the tape measure at the top while their collaborator pulls it tight at the bottom.

The saying “measure three times, cut once” is of particular importance here, and three times may not even be enough!

You can also remove the headstay to measure it. If you do so, tie one (or more) halyard forward to keep the mast up. If you are going to remove the headstay to measure it, make sure you mark the position of the turnbuckle so you can get it back to its original length.

Different furling units will require different attachments at the bottom of the headstay. Some require that all the parts be slid over bare wire before a mechanical fitting is installed as the attachment point. Others can be installed over a marine stud (this is discussed in our article, “Replacing Your Standing Rigging” in the June 2016 issue of 48° North). Whatever the method, it must be included in the plan.

Most headsail halyards are rigged so that they are very nearly in line with the headstay, since this is preferable for hoisting a full luff headsail. If the angle is too flat or the distance from the halyard swivel to the halyard block is too long, this will cause the halyard to wrap around the headstay fouling the whole system. To prevent this, you will either need to make sure that the swivel is close enough to the block as to not allow this, or install a halyard preventer to keep it from happening (Figure 3).

Reread the installation instructions for your unit so they are clear in your mind. If you are more visual, you can find installation videos for almost all roller furlers. Get all the tools you need together. Figure out where you will assemble the furler, often on the dock

Figure 2: A continuous line furler allows the drum to be shorter “A,” than a standard drum furler “B.”

Figure 3: The halyard retainer does not allow the halyard to wrap around the headstay “A,” by keeping the top of the halyard swivel “B” against the mast. next to the boat. If the dock is cement or another rough, abrasive surface, you will need to have a way of protecting the furler from getting scratched. Also, if the mast is up, you need to consider how you will lift it up to the attachment point. This is normally done with a headsail halyard. Make sure you have enough hands to hoist the assembled unit while protecting it and the boat.

You will need someone up the mast to attach it, someone to haul it up, and at least one more depending on size to control the lower end as it is being lifted.

Installation: Lay out the headstay and roller furling components in your assembly area. Follow the instructions for calculating the length of the foil.

When measuring the length of the turnbuckle, make sure it is in the middle of its adjustment range so that you have the maximum flexibility. Cut the last extrusion piece to length based on your calculations. Make sure that the top extrusion piece is longer than 18 inches, because you do not want the halyard swivel to be riding directly on a joint (Figure 3). If the cut piece is shorter than 18 inches, swap it with a longer piece from lower down.

Lay out the extrusion pieces next to the headstay and reconfirm the length with the cut piece. If you are installing a mechanical fitting at the bottom, you can now cut the headstay to the exact length if you left it a little long.

Follow the installation instructions for your furler to assemble the unit.

Install the mechanical fitting if needed.

Once it is assembled, get ready to hoist the headstay and furler. Slacken the backstay so that it is easier to attach the headstay. Hoist the headstay and furler up the mast and attach it at the top first, then at the bottom. Bend all cotter pins in the clevis pins to secure the headstay, then adjust the turnbuckle to the proper length and secure it with cotter or ring pins. Finish any additional installation steps. To install the furling line, see our article “Controlling the Control Line” in the August 2012 48° North.

Uses: A roller furler can be used in a variety of ways beyond the simple setting and striking of sail.

If you don’t wish to use your engine to get away or return to the dock or a mooring, or can’t because it is broken down, the roller furler is a great asset. You can unfurl enough sail to catch the wind so as to provide steerage and work the boat away.

Conversely, when trying to get the boat to the dock, you can keep enough sail area to maintain steerage until you can work the boat against the dock.

Another use is full or partial furling to assist when you are tacking

or jibing with a big headsail or a headsail and staysail. It is difficult to get a full headsail around a forestay when tacking or jibing.

One of the most valuable uses of a roller furler is roller reefing. In increasing wind, it is normally best to depower the mainsail first by the normal means: flattening the sail, moving the traveler to leeward, and reefing the main. If the boat is still over-powered, you can roller reef your headsail instead of swapping it out. If you roller reef, it is normally best to roll up almost all of the sail and leave only a small triangle unfurled. Because sails are not flat, if more than a small amount is unfurled, it will have a deeper draft which will increase power for its area.

Roller furling has been continually improving since it was first implemented. This improvement is self perpetuating, because roller furling makes it easier to sail, so we go sailing more. As we sail more, we learn how to make sailing and technology more enjoyable and more functional.

One of the seven bronze statues of strong women.

I

have been intrigued by this place since Morgan Freeman, pants rolled up and shoes flung casually over his shoulder, strode towards Tim Robbins fixing up his old boat on the beach (if that doesn’t ring a bell, it’s time to rewatch Shawshank Redemption).

It’s obvious to me now that this scene was filmed far from Pacific Mexico, but that knowledge does nothing to dampen its allure in my mind.

The name itself, Zihuatanejo, leaps out of your mouth in quick, crisp syllables.

It’s nearly impossible to frown and say it at the same time.

The town has all of the best attributes of Pacific Mexico – long stretches of white sand beaches, delicious and inexpensive food, a protected(ish) bay for anchoring, and a town square that seems nightly to accommodate a parade, basketball game or celebration of some kind. Gaggles of “free range” pre-teens munch on street food and wander the square, laughing and teasing each other. The atmosphere is relaxed, festive and family friendly even late into the evening.

Overseeing the activities in town are seven prominently placed statues of women. As we wandered the streets the first day we ventured ashore, already smitten with the bay and the town, we encountered these statues, each one standing bold and confident, and I was in love. These bronze statues represent the seven regions of the state of Guerrero, each one embodying the region’s contributions to the state. That they are all women speaks to the matriarchal society of the area’s native tribes, and to the history of the town’s name.

42

m a t r i a r c h a l foundation, of their tribute to women and acknowledgment of their suffering has augmented my connection with this place. I am inspired by these women, standing confident and proud, presenting the abundance of their home to those that pass below them.

This connection is a new one for me.

I have spent a good portion of my life ignoring the fact that I am female. When I started climbing at age 14, I saw no reason why I couldn’t climb the same routes as my climbing friends (almost all guys), though I did recognize I would have to tackle the problems differently.

I couldn’t simply haul my body weight through a difficult maneuver, but I could reach my heel above my head and use a straight arm to leverage my body through the same maneuver. I learned to use my specific assortment of skills and talents in creative ways to accomplish the goal at hand (which was always to get to the top). When I climbed a route, it looked nothing like the moves my friends made, but that made no difference to the elation of overcoming a difficult problem and the collective celebration at the top.

I was still ignoring my female-ness when I started sailing and eventually found myself racing with an otherwise all-men’s team in the Puget Sound.

As we approached the start line one cold, wet Saturday, powered up and heeled over, the wind already sending seawater in our faces, I was grinding.

We powered over the start line and immediately tacked onto port, certain we could eek out in front of the pack.

The jib came across and I hauled on the

The Place of Women

By Becca Guillote

The word “Zihuatanejo” can be traced back to “Cihuatlan”, a name that in the local native (Nahuatl) language means “Place of Women.”

In this traditional matriarchal culture, the area was a sanctuary dedicated to Cihuatéotl, the goddess of women who died in childbirth and warriors who died in battle (which may seem like an odd pair of responsibilities, but in their culture, childbirth was viewed as a form of battle and its victims were honored as fallen warriors). Here, at this western extremity of the Nahuatl civilization, the women who died in childbirth, under the care of their goddess, act as an honor guard to usher the sun away at the end of each day.

(As an interesting aside, the Spanish, when they first reached these beaches around 1522, decided the area was not worth much and with the sanctimonious authority for which these conquerors are well known, tacked “ejo” to the end of the town’s name, which means “of little importance.” Wrong again, Spanish conquerors.)

winch handle with all the strength and leverage I could find, but within two rotations, the drum stopped, refusing to budge. My measly arms were no match for the load of a number 1 jib in 20 knots upwind.

Yelling, hustling, curse words. A huge hand grabbed the winch and a few of my fingers still attempting to push and ground the jib in, my arm following his motions like a child. The whole ordeal must have been less than five seconds, but those were precious seconds lost. We turned down to regain boat speed and as a result of my underpowered arms, had to duck boat after boat, as if bowing in submission, as the fleet flew by on starboard.

My fingers throbbed and my confidence crumbled. I wanted to hide in a hole. I blamed my deficiency on my female-ness; if a guy had been sitting there, that jib would have flown in and we would have strode out in front of the fleet. I was not as good as my male counterparts.

Of course the despair passed, and I soon found my home on the bow, where being small and nimble is an advantage.

I regained my confidence in my sailing capability. But my habit of ignoring the fact that I am a woman began to falter.

I started to accept the idea that I could admit to being a woman and still be a great sailboat racer. That the problem solving and finesse I had to master as a climber because I couldn’t muscle my way up a route were more than coping mechanisms to compensate for being a girl; they were valuable life skills.

Sailing humbles even the saltiest sailor. We find ourselves at the mercy of winds, waves, corrosion and broken plastic fittings. There are so many situations that crumble the tenuous foundation of confidence and courage.

These challenges are not specific to me, and they are not specific to women.

Sailing has taught me that to request help, to acknowledge my limits, to feel overwhelmed, these are not a sign of weakness – they are a show of respect of the sea and confidence in yourself.

And that is what these statues remind me. They remind me that my skills and abilities are comprehensive and valuable, and I should depict them with pride and courage. They

arlier this year, the sailboat industry was shaken when Hall Spars and Navtec Rigging Solutions closed their United States operations. Over the years, Navtec and Hall shared many progressive, engineering driven, high profile projects. The loss of these two innovative domestic manufacturers leaves many, especially those with rodrigged boats, asking who will fill the voids; and more specifically, about the future of rod rigging availability.

Hall Spars, founded in 1980, fabricated high quality aluminum, and later carbon, spars and rigging components. Their state-of-the-art plant in Rhode Island boasted a 185’ carbon autoclave. When I visited in 2009, Nan Hall proudly showed off the 65’ carbon boom and described the process for building the 179’ mast for the modern J-Class sloop, Lionheart.

Over the years, many sailors had the pleasure of directly speaking with Nan Hall about their Hall-rigged project.

Nan was always patient and courteous.

While Hall Spars closed their US facility, Hall Spars New Zealand and Holland were still operating. At the time of this writing, new developments are still taking place. North Technology Group (the corporation that encompasses North Sails and other businesses) has

purchased Hall Spars Worldwide. It is good to know that the intellectual property at Hall is not going to be lost.

In 1970, Navtec was founded by Ken King with the goal to bring better rod rigging technology to the marketplace.

Their initial customers were America’s Cup contenders. At Navtec, Beau LeBlanc, Ty Goss, and other brilliant engineers were consistently forthcoming with information about rigging and hydraulics when asked by enthusiasts and professionals alike. Ty thoughtfully explained the intricacies of rod parts to me on more than one occasion.

Though Hall’s closure came as a surprise to many, signs that Navtec was on the edge - such as production delays and various delivery issues - have been apparent for at least a decade. The good news is that Navtec’s slow decline gave the industry time to adjust. In other words, these closures do not mean the demise of rod rigging in the United States, though they may cause a price increase for rod rigging.

Considering these industry changes, this is a good time to examine some of the similarities and differences in how rod and wire rigging function, what the processes for replacement entail, and some best practices for maintenance and inspection.

Many cruising boats were originally designed for wire rigs and there is rarely a reason for those boats to consider going to rod. Wire offers excellent value, longevity and availability the world over. A significant majority of sailboats still have wire rigging.

Rod rigging generally offers some better performance characteristics, and can be seen on a variety of boats, like many J/Boats, C&C, Beneteau, Waterline, Sabre, and Valiant Yachts, as well as custom racers and cruisers.

Rod is constructed from Nitronic 50 stainless steel, a material different from the 316 or 304 stainless steel usually used for wire standing rigging.

June 2017

www.48North.com

Nitronic 50 better resists elongation, corrosion, and fatigue cycling. For a given diameter, rod has a higher tensile strength, and less windage and weight per foot of wire rigging. Because rod is not a woven or twisted construction like wire or other synthetics which are used for standing rigging, it is inherently more stable. The lack of stretch allows for less tension in the rig to support the mast, as well as a more reliable set of the rig under varying pressure and loads. This is especially important for rigs with swept back spreaders and masts that are highly adjustable as a part of sail trim and performance.

Considering a switch from rod to wire, or vice versa, should involve careful examination of the rig design, shroud angles, mast components, stiffness of the rig, load characteristics and bending moments.

A mast with tangs for marine eyes can be a simple switch from rod to wire. Elements affecting this option would be rod to wire size, chain plate pin size, and elongation concerns. Any replacement of rod with wire must have the same or greater minimum breaking load. The wire size selected must match the current mast tang and chain plate pin size or the tangs and chain plates would need to be changed to fit.

The stretch factor and the mechanical tensioning of the stay or shroud need to be analyzed carefully.

It is possible that a long run of type 316 wire could elongate enough that the

If you switch from rod to wire, you’ve got to be careful the elongation doesn’t leave you with two-blocked turnbuckles, like this.

turnbuckle becomes two-blocked or runs out of adjustment before the wire is adequately tensioned.

A mast with rod stem ball receptacles is likely to be more challenging to convert to wire. This can involve removal of older stem ball tang sets, installation of proper fit compression tubes, bolts, and new tangs for marine eyes or other wire fittings. The sailor will have to weigh the cost of this with the cost of the rod replacement, and think about the different properties of the rigging types.

How long rigging lasts is subject to many different factors: age, miles, loads in comparison to break strength, sailing conditions and environmental conditions. Here in the northwest, rigging tends to last longer than warmer climes or those where air pollution is prevalent.

The heuristic for wire standing rigging is that it will provide good service for eight to ten years depending on the sailing conditions, environment, and use. It is a good idea to inspect at five year increments or 30,000 miles, which ever comes first.

By comparison, rod should be inspected after a maximum of 40,000

to 60,000 sailing miles or six years, whichever comes first. A proper inspection involves un-stepping the mast, scanning the rod inch by inch, and inspection of each cold head.

If issues are discovered with the rod heads and there is enough room in the turnbuckles, or longer screws can be used, a new cold head can be formed. It is recommended that the turnbuckles be replaced at least every ten years. Often there will be a stainless or aluminum tube called a “bend” over the rod where it passes through the spreader.

The spreader bends are set at a precise angle and this can sometimes mean that the rod in this position will need to be replaced for proper fit of the shroud.

Taking care of your rod rig has similarities to caring for a wire standing rig. Like wire or other rigging materials rod wears out from cycling, fatigue, and corrosion. It stands to reason that keeping the stainless clean, allowing it to breathe, and proper tension will prolong its life.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, any rigging shop that has previously been able to accommodate rod rigging repair and replacement projects can continue to offer that service, despite

Hayn Marine has purchased and taken ownership of the intellectual property (engineering drawings) from Navtec. They will continue, as they have been for several years, to provide quality rod parts.

Despite industry changes, rod rigging is still a viable, and sometimes necessary, choice for many sailors. It can hold a value position for sailors seeking predicable rigging performance for whom the cost of composite parallel construction rigging can be impractical.

It’s a rainbow of colors

Three cormorant species live in the Salish Sea. A year ago, I wrote about the largest, the Doublecrested Cormorant, and now here’s number two.

At first, the Pelagic Cormorant seems jet black, but that’s certainly not true. I like these birds very much because, as the light changes, their iridescent colors change from purple to red and green. The Pelagic is smaller than the Double-crested. It has a thinner neck, much smaller head and very thin bill. Almost snake-like might be a good descriptor. Two white flank patches and, during breeding season, a red beard also help with identification. A third variety, the Brandt’s Cormorant sports a tan cheek patch.

I admire these birds for their fishing skills.

Recently, we were on one of the San Juan ferries and I watched a group fishing and occasionally fly to nearby pilings for rest. They were all very chatty with each other and seemed curious about us. Some were below at the base of the pilings and were diving in the turbulent backwash for a disoriented pile perch. Almost every dive produced a fish, and as the birds surfaced, we could see some quickly toss the flapping fish upwards, then swallow it headfirst as it came back down. This way, the fish went down those skinny throats with scales backwards and fins retracted. Stomach juices did the rest. To help all this, cormorants ride low in the water thanks to solid bones that aid in long dives. I say this is a very successful bird!

his year ’s edition of the Seattle Yacht Club Protection Island Race was my first ever! I’ve done plenty of Puget Sound races, and spent plenty of time around Port Townsend and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but that particular island and that particular race were totally unfamiliar, until now.

Not unlike other races of that length in Puget Sound, there are plenty of stories and many are tales of woe and misadventure, especially in the very dark early morning hours. Tales of drifting, punctuated by moments of sheer terror and scraping the lasagna dinner off the headliner are among my favorites to listen to and not participate in. This year, a good breeze was predicted, and from a good direction, with an epically favorable tide exchange if you were fast enough to turn the corner by 3:00 in the afternoon. Weather briefing and common thinking indicated a finish by 2:00 am, although we had until 3:00 on Sunday afternoon to cross the line.

Please let us finish long before that time!

At Seattle Yacht Club, the fast boats start first. Our game plan was to hit the west side, and we were curious if the ORC boats would do it.

Of course, on a southerly, going west means a port gybe so you either had to win the pin end or take some transoms. You can also do your best to look ominous

or brilliant and spook the herd in that direction. In both of the first starts, that’s how the game was played.

Boats who won the pin went west.

If you had someone blocking you, it took a while to find a lane across.

On Bravo Zulu, we nearly won the pin end at the start, but since it was neither a game of horseshoes nor hand grenades, close wasn’t good enough and we eventually threaded a couple transoms to stick with the plan.

The west side was golden. There was good breeze and a river of current. Actually there were many rivers of current, and it was running at a good clip. However, the most consistent river was right along the west shore. The wind built gradually along the run, and as we got to Point No Point, a heavier kite was being

considered. By the time we passed Double Bluff, driving was a two handed job and the sport boats were finally up on step. Bigger puffs hit 20 knots true and with tidal push, we were getting the fun meter up to 13 over the ground. The J/120 Hinzite was hugging Marrowstone Island and putting out a good rooster tail, and it made our brains hurt wondering if it was going to work for them. We kept some separation from shore, and the ORC boats on the horizon were favoring Whidbey Island. Evgeniy Goussev gets the hero award, taking his Lyman Morse 40, Gray Wolf, (think NightRunner, classic above the waterline and all business below) single handed. He kept the kite going down the run and pulled off several gybes, and was still in front of us until a big puff sent him sideways at Point Wilson. After he gathered up his sails slowly, but surely, and secured everything on deck, he was seen motoring toward Port Townsend. Ev reports that the dark and stormies were fantastic, and that Plan B is a-ok.

Crossfire, Smoke and Glory seemed to get around the island without too much trouble, and were hauling the mail back uphill as we approached Protection Island. We tried to learn from their sail configuration, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have reef points, and 47

I know for sure they have an army on the rail. A beautiful sight! We were planning to swap down to a small asymmetric on our approach, but swapped instead for a small headsail.

As we got to the far end of the island the big breeze and tide rips gave way to a drift. Back up with the big kite, as we ghosted around the shallows.

At one point I said, “Denny, it’s only six feet!” He replied, “That’s the wind speed, silly. Look under that…”

“Well, it says eight!” “Carry on…”

Hinzite took the island wide while we hugged the beach, and eventually the shorter distance of a close rounding paid off. By the time we clawed and drifted back to Point Wilson, the wind machine turned back on. We swapped to the #3 and by the time we could tack, we were putting in a reef! The original plan was to head back up the west shore, however the east side looked better. Whether it was wind or tide or both, the water looked lively toward the east. By the time we passed Point No Point, the wind had swung so far east that you could lay the finish and point the bow straight up the Sound at 10 knots.

We finished in time for a spectacular sunset, before dark and well ahead of schedule! The short course boats were all tucked away, and everyone got to wake up in their own warm bed instead of on a wet sail.

In the first ORC division, John Buchan’s TP52 Glory got the glory, followed by Lou Bianco’s R/P55 Crossfire and Steve Travis’ TP52 Smoke.

Those three boats seem to play well together and its fun for the rest us to watch the battle. In ORC Division 2 as well as Overall ORC, J/125 Hamachi finished on top, followed by John Kerrigan’s Ker 46, New Haven, and John Tenneson’s J/145 Jedi.

In PHRF, William Weinstein’s Riptide35, Terremoto, finished on top of their division and overall with a slew of awesome local sailors on board. Charlie Macauley and family on his Farr 39, Absolutely, came next, followed by Shaun Breese’s Farr 39 Tachyon. In PHRF Division 2, Denny Vaughan’s Bravo Zulu finished first, followed by James Hinz’s J/120, Hinzite, and Mark Liffrino’s J/120, With Grace.

On the Short Course to Double Bluff, the first division was won by Alex Simanis’ short handed crew on Evelyn 32, Poke and Destroy, leading the crowd over to the east side of the Sound for the trip uphill. Charles Hill’s Different Drummer and Allen Johnson’s Charlotte also made the podium. In the J/105 fleet, some familiar boats finished on top. Mor Jubilee hit the top spot, followed

by Last Tango and Inconceivable! In the little boat division, Reinhard Freywald’s Kiwi Express was first in division and first overall. Second went to Alexia Fisher ’s Santa Cruz 27, Zipper, and Leo Morales’ J/27 Wizard.

Cruiser racer divisions are gaining popularity, and the top spot went to Phil Calvert’s Norlin 34, Runaway, followed by Bill Boyeson’s J/42, Jiminy, and Jim Medley’s Bavaria 38, Puffin.

his year ’s iteration of the Seattle Yacht Club’s Vashon Island Race (second race in the Tri-Island Series) exposed the collection of close to 50 yachts to all that this chilly, wet Northwest spring can offer, including a bit of sun.

The race started just north of West Point in a solid 10 to 15 knots, sometimes shifty, southerly and building ebb tide. The forecast of thundershowers and a pronounced Southwesterly shift later in the day proved to be accurate, depending on when you started and where you were on the course.

The fleet generally worked their way across the Sound, working the west side of the track down Blake Island and the eastern shore of Vashon. Small, sometimes intense (and cold!) shower cells rolled over the fleet, interspersed with welcome blue skies and sunshine, and, of course, wind squalls, shifts then massive shifts. Headed on both tacks?! Check! 18 knots to nothing

in three minutes?! Check! Must be spring in the Northwest!

The bottom of Vashon was predictably calm for the big boat fleet, but eventually a 13 knot carpet of southwesterly filled across the bay and down Colvos Passage. The unusual (and sad) sight of the Gray Whale carcass on Vashon Island met long course competitors as they jibed down the Passage, each seeking their own private lane in the 2 to 3 knot The TP 52 “Smoke” passes the ferry “Wenatchee” on their way around Vashon Island.

northbound tidal runway.

Once past the north end of Vashon, the race turned into a boat speed and handling exercise, with crews working the jibing angles, building flood tide and commercial traffic avoidance challenges with varying degrees of success. Most boats in all courses tended to stay right both upwind (heading south) and downwind (heading home northbound) to avoid current and keep the best angle to the finish. Few brave souls found benefit in taking fliers, and the race became something of a parade towards the finish.

The fleet was done by supper time on Saturday, and boats were home and snug early on what ultimately turned out to be a fun, fast and interesting spring Saturday. Full credit to the SYC organizers, and PRO Charley Rathkopf for staging a safe and well run event.

Sloop Tavern Yacht Club

R ace

full fleet of 125 boats was greeted A with an amazing weekend for sailing during this year ’s Race to the

Straits. Once again, the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club did a fantastic job getting all the ducks in a row to get this race off smoothly and when the fleet hit the water Saturday morning, sunny skies and a steady southerly wind brought smiles to our crew onboard the J/24, Flyer. With winds that were predicted to be southerly then northerly later, the boats that left the gate early in the day were rewarded with an easy trip up to Double Bluff buoy before the wind switched. While we spent only a few minutes waiting for the new breeze to fill in, a large portion of the fleet was left to drift with the flood tide while the wind made up its mind.

before finding a new boat to chase around in Mutiny Bay. The fleet kept near shore to avoid the afternoon flood, and as we putted along, a pack of J/105s passed by on their way north in the increasing breeze.

Most of the boats were double handed and a few were singlehanded, so the wind power was quite evident without extra weight on the rail to balance it out. I talked my crew through a headsail change before entering the more open waters of Admiralty Inlet and as the fleet made its way across to Marrowstone Island and into Port Townsend Bay, the tide switched to an ebb. This pushed up against a 20 knot northerly, kicking up waves and making for quite the ride to the finish.

the entrance as shorthanded crews worked hard to handle larger boats in the strong crosswind. By the race cut-off at 7:00pm, the entire fleet was safely docked for the evening. The NW Maritime Center graciously opened their doors to the rowdy bunch of Seattle sailors and we were served a tasty chicken and ribs dinner paired with beers donated by Northwest Rigging and wine provided by Beta Marine. We ate heartily, happily chatting away with other crews about the exciting day on the water.

Sunday morning started off calm, but a solid northerly quickly built.

That, combined with warm temps and clear skies indicated another beautiful day on the water. We squeezed out of an eight boat raft up and into the bay just in time for our 8:30am start. Under way, we kept looking backwards, distracted by the hundred or so spinnakers spread out across the water. It was a spectacular sight. We spent the entire day switching positions with the other J/24, Roshambo, before finally getting squeezed out in the light winds near Kingston. The northerly winds persisted in varying strength throughout the day, allowing us to fly the spinnaker all the way home while dodging current lines, sticks, and the occasional porpoise and seal.

Compared to the tough currents and conditions we saw last year, this edition of the race was quite pleasant, featuring enjoyable winds, close competition, and plenty of sunshine to burn away pale winter skin. While our finish against the Thunderbirds and the other J/24s could be improved

on, we still had a great time onboard Flyer. I am happy to have completed both legs of the race and to finally be able to say I’ve sailed fully to Port Townsend and back. Thanks to the committee boats Beltane, Blue Lullaby, and Strange Attractor for their time bobbing around waiting for us to finish. I can’t wait to get out again next year for another fun sail up to Port Townsend.

othing ushers in spring sailing like CYC’s buoy racing opener, PSSR. The little boats get their own weekend in early April, and later in the month the big boats come out to dust off the winter rust and burn around the cans.

CYC’s professional race committee set north and south courses to accommodate eight classes, including many of the familiar one-designs, J/105s, Melges 24s, and San Juan 24s. Joining the expected one-design crowd is the burgeoning J/80 fleet.

The Pacific Northwest J/80 Fleet kicked off their 2017 Season Series during PSSR with six boats on the line. The fleet shook off the winter cobwebs on the south course in variable conditions that rewarded c o r re c t l y re a d i n g t h e wind shifts and current influenced by the outflow from the Ballard Locks.

The boats and crews appear evenly matched again this season with five 54

point over Bryan Rhodes’ Crazy Ivan after five races on Saturday. The top five boats were separated by just six points heading into Sunday. Mike Poole, on Jolly Green, jumped off to a fast start on Sunday with bullets in the first two races. The podium places were all up for grabs heading into the last race. In the end, it was Taj Mahal holding off Jolly Green for a one point win.

Contributing to the J/80 enthusiasm is that October ’s CYC Puget Sound Sailing Championship will serve as the West Coast Championship for the North American J/80 Class. This is the first time this championship event will be sailed on Puget Sound and shows the growth of the local fleet.

eight races, while the south course ran 10 races. Most all of the classes were won decisively, but in Class 1, the One Design 35, Shrek, skippered

by Paul Carter, barely squeeked out a first place finish by just half of a point ahead of the Charlie Macaulay’s Farr 39ML, Absolutely, with Brad Cole’s Melges 32, Ballistic, in third.

In Class 2, both of Brad Butler ’s Sierra 26s took top honors, with Uno in first and Dos, driven by Molly Jackson, in second (of course) and Charles Hill’s Wauquiez Centurion

40, Different Dummer, in third place.

Most of the passing, at least for us, happened on the beats where we worked the compass pretty hard, while keeping an eye on the tidal situation.”

On Sunday morning, there was a thick fog layer hovering over the water and a steady breeze to accompany it. By the first horn, the sun was out and the fight was on to establish the winner for the weekend.

Whittemore came out swinging and after winning two out of the first three races, and taking a second in the other, he headed to shore knowing their victory was secured. Congratulations to Whittemore and his crew of Kevin Downey, Shelby Milne, Mark Rodgers and Brian Thomas, who claim the National Championship and the berth to the Garda Worlds.

Still up for grabs were the other top positions. Will Welles and crew took the other two bullets for the day, which narrowly put them into second place, with a tiebreaker over Imai’s Siesta. Pearl wound up fourth.

At the end of the weekend, Kaseler said, “It’s always tough to miss the podium by a point after three days of sailing, but we had a great time, and we were super stoked to see the guys from Tundra Rose crush it for the home town fleet.”

L

ast week, I told a mostly non-sailing friend about the upcoming Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race, that annual 193 mile run from buoy 2 outside the Columbia River to the Inner Harbour in Victoria, B.C. “Oh, I’d love to go sailing,” she said. “Take me!

Please!”

Yeah. Be careful what you wish for, my friend.

The 2017 edition of the Oregon Offshore will certainly go down in the memory banks of everyone who participated as one of the most physically (and probably emotionally) challenging versions of that race ever. NOAA had been predicting winds to 25 with gusts to 35, and while NOAA reports have been known to be wrong from time to time, on this occasion the Feds got it pretty much dead on, as the fleet was pounded by southerlies ranging from 20 to 40 knots (most often hanging around 25-35), accompanied by the associated sea state that comes with delightful little breezes like those.

Of the 24 boats registered for the race, 22 made it to the start line, in and of itself an accomplishment, given that the conditions on the Columbia River Bar resulted in a restriction to vessels under 30 feet. If you weren’t ready for what the Pacific was about to dole out, the Bar certainly got your attention.

On board Desperado, Jerry Barnes’ New York 36, we decided that a doublereefed main for the start seemed like a good idea, and it was. We crossed the line, settled in, and then hoisted the smallest, heaviest chute we had, and held on. The winds held pretty consistent, with occasional squalls that dumped rain on us but also brought increased winds (up to 40 knots constant at one point) and we tried to use every one of them to our advantage.

Like most Offshores, the fleet dispersed fairly quickly, some boats hugging the rhumbline, others going out. On Desperadao, we’d catch an occasional glimpse of a sail in the distance (usually when we were on the top of a wave), but more often we

were too busy keeping the boat on her feet and ourselves from launching into the lifelines. We were mostly successful with the former. Not always so with the latter. Ocean racing. Mostly awesome.

I can’t speak for every crew member on every boat in the fleet, but as day wore on into night, it got more and more interesting to scream up and over wave after wave with our second chute up (having determined that the first one simply wasn’t large enough) while trying to keep the slimy side of the hull in the water where it belonged. Still, it was one of those great sails that, at the time, you marvel that you actually PAID real MONEY out of your own pocket to do this to yourself; all the while knowing that after that first cold beer at the finish line in Victoria, you are going to remember the whole trip fondly while planning to do it again next year. What we on Desperado called the “Offshore Paradox.”

And then Friday morning dawned.

Around 0600, on our approach to Cape Flattery, it all became worthwhile.

The sun rose in the east, warming our windblown faces. The wind speeds June 2017

www.48North.com

remained the same, as did the sea state, but what had seemed miserable a few hours earlier now inspired smiles on our faces as we flew on to one of my favorite landfalls. We made Tatoosh Island around 0730 and headed into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, all the while counting our eggs before they were in the pudding.

In other words, we started discussing how cool it was going to be to arrive at the finish Friday afternoon.

What is it about Juan de Fuca that makes her such a fickle mistress? In the space of a few minutes, we went from winds consistently in the 20s to…well… nothing at times. Thankfully, on Desperado we managed to get far enough in to avoid the ebb flush, but some of our fellow competitors weren’t so lucky.

And then we spent the rest of Friday milking everything from 15 knot breezes to what I’ll politely call lulls.

Meanwhile, in the PHRF Class A1, long-time Offshore veteran, Rage, was in a heated battle with Kinetic, the TP52 out of Vancouver, B.C. After shadowing each other for the entire course (essentially a repeat of the 2016 Offshore) Kinetic managed to beat Rage across the finish line by all of 15 seconds. That’s racing, folks.

Back on board Desperado, we finally got a break after passing Race Rocks, picked up some nice breezes for the last few miles, and crossed the line at the Victoria Harbour breakwater. A few minutes later, we were hoisting champagne and those wonderful hot towels, courtesy of the Offshore welcoming committee. I haven’t decided which is more appreciated, the bubbly or the towels.

Congratulations to the crew of Free Bowl of Soup for taking the overall win, and congratulations to everyone who got out there in those delightful conditions and made another run through the “Graveyard of the Pacific.”

swiftsure yachts The logbook for June 2017 When I find myself 1000 miles from the next human being, far out in the ocean, I can’t help but feel really small. The boat that I’m on takes on a whole new significance in life when she becomes your whole world. It’s a great feeling and those of you fortunate enough to have this experience know what I mean. There are some boats that are well designed and outfitted to become your world and Twist gives you the feeling that she’s that kind of boat. Her designer, Bill Dixon, has the experience and Moody builds terrific boats. When you look at the massive chainplates on Twist you get a real understanding of what “Category A Ocean” means. She feels great underway, very comfortable and safe. Just the sense you want when your existence depends on it.
