Editor THERE'S NO BAD WEATHER

“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing” Englishman Alfred Wainwright wrote in his book Coast to Coast in 1973. He was known to walk 20-30 miles per day in dreary England, even as a child. It sounds like he would have made a brilliant Pacific Northwest sailor.

Wainwright’s wisdom resonates for sailors at this time of year. There’s no way to approach November in the PNW without at least acknowledging the weather, and sometimes it’s better to look it straight in the face. As I write this, the windows are quite literally rattling next to me while a southerly gale is whipping up Shilshole Bay into a frothy teal and the NOAA weather station at nearby West Point is registering a cool 27 knots, gusting 30. This week, The Seattle Times published a major piece about the onset of the seasonal pattern they call “The Big Dark,” there are flood warnings in the area from incessant rain, and daylight savings time may have already happened by the time you read this. It’s enough to make a prudent sailor put on some Gordon Lightfoot and contemplate seasonal dry storage or hanging up the sailing gloves for a few months.

The thing is, glory abounds on our waters in the winter months, and this season has genuinely given me some of my favorite sailing memories. However, as the prescient cliché insinuates, any hope of enjoying sailing on the Salish Sea at this time of year hinges upon the crucial and challenging task of keeping oneself warm and dry. Most sailors who cast off the lines within a few months of the winter solstice have had that indelible “never-again” experience in which their gear just plain failed. It’s tough to shake the memory of being that cold and wet, but know this: you can sail in the winter and be warm and dry. And you should!

The gear itself is, hearteningly, always taking steps forward. The reliability of the high-tech and breathable three-layer fabrics has increased significantly. I've also picked up a few techniques that may surprise you—for example, in inclement weather, I'm almost always wearing two waterproof layers. Yes, it’s the death of breathability, but unless I’m sailing something hyper-athletic, I’d rather be a little clammy than miserably soaked. That this works is a worthy reminder sailing is a sedentary pursuit for many of us, and there’s often more activity while we raise and lower the main than all the rest of our time on the water combined. Outside of those times, it’s rare that sailors feel over-dressed in the offseason.

Of course, other important factors play into the equation. Give yourself permission to sail in small bites. Get out, put the sails up, top up the bank with a wind-powered fix, and don’t get overly ambitious. This is particularly true if you’re sailing with a crew who isn’t quite as enthusiastic about the winter sailing experience as you may be. Go on short trips to destinations where you can warmup and dry out. I’m pretty sure the seaside restaurants and pubs I’ve frequented over the years have forgiven me for bringing groups of sopping wet sailors in to drip-dry on their hardwoods while sipping toddies and watching the Seahawks.

Speaking of hot beverages... It’s not a joke when I say that hot drinks are as important to winter sailing as salt is to food. There's some value to having one without the other, but it is a much less enjoyable experience.

Finally, heat your cabin. A half-hour out of the wind and rain while warming up down below is sometimes all it takes to be ready for another long stint on the helm.

The difference between a cabin with heat and one without is significant in the soggy PNW winter. And it’s dang hard to stop shivering when the cabin is as cold and damp as it is on deck.

Thus, I offer my amendment: “There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing or poor planning, or both.” Go sailing... but not too long! Over-dress and know how and when you’re going to get out of the elements before you start. And for God’s sake, bring a big carafe of something hot. It can be fun. I promise.

Hello Andy and Joe, As a parent, I always enjoy reading Andy’s articles about family sailing, but anytime I hear or read, “It’s the law” (as in your Safety First section), it is often used as a parent’s (or other authority’s) tool to simplify a grey zone; and often is not accurate.

Classic sails such as Gaff, Sprit & Lugs!

It appears that you are saying that a life jacket is always required “no matter what” when a kid is on the dock. What specific law are you referring to, as I have never heard this before? On the other hand, substituting a tether & harness for a life jacket might be fine as you say (we used this for many years in our cockpit with kids), but generally if your state law requires a life jacket for kids when underway, unfortunately a tether & harness will not comply.

Also, as a USCG 100-ton licensed captain for more than 25 years, I would like to point out that the US Coast Guard “law” you are referring to, I believe, was a 2002 interim rule only for those states (approximately 10 at the time), which did not have any state statute or rule about life jacket use for kids when underway (when on deck). All 50 states now have this, so the USCG interim rule no longer applies, even if the state’s statute is less “stringent.”

Case in point: WA state law RCW 79A.60.160 applies only to kids on recreational vessels under 19 ft. underway! So, it’s “the law” in WA state only for very small boats, even if it might be a prudent parental safety rule.

Maybe it’s best to tell kids it’s your “boat rules” instead of the infamous “it’s the law,” since they might begin to question you as they get older.

A Very Important Woman in Sailing Karen Thorndike Hi Joe, I’m a long time reader, but this is first time commenting.

I read the articles about women in sailing in recent publications with interest.

VISIT US IN GIG HARBOR! 4 secondwaveattheboatyard.com 8º NORTH

Absent from the many names was one of our own very famous women; the first American woman to circumnavigate the globe solo via the Five Great Capes, Karen Thorndike, who completed her 33,000 mile voyage in 1998. I had the privilege to talk with her several years ago about her adventure following a thirty minute video that encapsulated her experience during one of our Mukilteo Yacht Club 8

meetings. While I am unsure of her present whereabouts, she deserves a standing ovation for her perseverance.

Terry Cox S/V Belle-Vie Hunter Passage 42

All the Power You Need

Thanks Terry, you’re absolutely right that Karen is a pioneer of women in sailing, in our regional scene and beyond! I appreciate and share your desire to recognize her accomplishments and leadership. I also thought you might be interested to know that Karen has been instrumental in mentoring at least one young woman who is preparing her boat and herself to circumnavigate, Sarah Scott. Sarah’s articles have been featured several times in recent issues, and I can hear the reverberations of Karen’s sage wisdom coming through Sarah’s writing. I was lucky enough to interview Sarah and Karen in person, and that conversation was featured in the January 2019 issue. I think (I hope!) it’s a fun read.

There are so many accomplished and inspirational women involved in sailing that we could not have hoped to have one article or one issue that could include all of them. And the good news is, as more and more women and girls get involved in sailing, this will be an increasingly important and wonderful challenge!

Uncensored Dear Joe, I’ve been reading 48° North since the first issue (when it was called Latitude 48). I never seen the “F-word” in any edition until the Argon Collective article in the September issue.

Maybe that word is acceptable to your generation, but I can assure it is not a proper word for a magazine that wants to get children starting sailing. If I see a word like this again, it will be my last issue of 48° North.

Jack Harding I apologize that by leaving the Argon article uncensored, I offended you. I thought it might be helpful to share my thought-process about that particular article, not to defend my choice, but to illustrate that it was a thoughtful decision to leave that language in the magazine.

To me, the entire ethos around that article felt alternative—young, a little edgy, counter-cultural. These dynamics, along with their almost aggressive enthusiasm, led me to feel like I didn’t want to do anything to dilute their style. Certainly, you make an excellent point that there’s dissonance between the hope that young people might be inspired by the story of the Argon ladies, and the fact that leaving the article uncensored may not have positioned the group as the role models I know they are for the broadest possible audience.

I also recognize that my personal bias shows through: that curse words aren’t a big problem for me when not directed at a person or group in a derogatory fashion (which these were not, in my opinion).

While I’m not quite ready to say that I will absolutely NEVER ever again under any circumstances publish that word, I will tell you that I’ve heard your feedback, and value both it and your long-tenured readership. I’ll also tell you that we’ve begun a conversation with the 48° North team to hopefully install a policy about language that ensures consistency and mitigates the fallibility of my personal judgment.

Presented by Puget Sound Cruising Club. PSCC is proud to present Jesse and Samantha Osborn who sailed around in 2013/2014. This will be a spirited presentation concentrating on preparation for the voyage including budget, repairs, provisioning, crew, outfitting, and training, as well as stories of the highlights and challenges.

Jesse said, “When I decided to sail through the Northwest Passage in the fall of 2010, people told me it was impossible, or that I could not do it.

That is when I knew I was on the right track. A sailing voyage should be worthy of the great efforts we take to realize them.” These two voyagers, who met in the Arctic, have developed a sailing logistics business to help others realize their dreams. This presentation will be entertaining, educational, and hopefully act as a catalyst for those who are driven to go farther... At North Seattle College at 7:30pm.

Tucker Thompson presents:

CHASING THE CUP

A SNEAK PEAK INTO THE NEXT AMERICA’S CUP NOVEMBER 20 IN SEATTLE AT SEATTLE YACHT CLUB

NOVEMBER 21 IN PORT TOWNSEND AT NORTHWEST MARITIME CENTER

Tucker Thompson is one of the faces of the modern America’s Cup (AC). He was the official host of the 35th Cup in Bermuda and will fulfill duties likewise for the upcoming 36th America’s Cup in Auckland—he’s a true Cup insider. Many familiar with his coverage are not aware that he has an AC background as a sailor as well, sailing on the America True team during the 2000 Cup in New Zealand.

Thompson is visiting the Pacific Northwest in late November, part of a tour sponsored by The Moorings to inform and inspire audiences about all thing America’s Cup: its storied past, innovative present, and thrilling future. A sought-after public speaker, Thompson’s presentations will revisit all eras of the hotly-contested history of sailing's highest prize, while also

specifically looking ahead to the forthcoming 36th America’s Cup in Auckland aboard the breathtaking new AC75 foiling monohulls.

Thompson will be giving attendees an exclusive look inside the New York Yacht Club challenger, American Magic. One of two US-based challenger campaigns, American Magic has already completed its first AC75, a boat that’s been named Defiant. Defiant was splashed in mid-September 2019 and was successfully up on its foils in less than 90 minutes during her maiden voyage. But that, of course, is just the beginning! www.nwmaritime.org www.seattleyachtclub.org

Dalton Bergan & Ben Glass Win Championship of Champions Some of Seattle’s elite sailors, Dalton Bergan and Ben Glass, topped the leaderboard against a host of other decorated sailors at October’s US Sailing Championship of Champions in Stamford, CT. Regatta qualification requires a victory in a National or North American Class Championship. Bergan qualified as a skipper in this event thanks to his impressive win in the RS Aero North American Championship in Cascade Locks, OR, in June 2019.

Bergan and Glass appreciated the breadth of competition, 48º NORTH

REVERE SURVIVAL’S NEW USCG/SOLAS COMPACT LIFERAFT Revere Survival Inc has recently added another high quality liferaft to their range. The Revere USCG/SOLAS Compact Liferaft is a robust design, built to provide reliable performance in the harshest of conditions.

Packed into a low profile container, the raft takes up 40% less space than a comparative cylinder liferaft, making it ideal for smaller vessels and those with limited space on deck or in a lazarette.

An insulated floor helps to retain heat while a dual-zip closure gives extra splash protection. A strong inflatable boarding ramp with reinforced ladder makes it as easy as possible to board the raft, while large water ballast pockets give maximum stability.

The raft is highly visible with its retro-reflective tape.

The Revere USCG/SOLAS liferaft is available in 6,8,10,12 and 16 person models in both SOLAS A and SOLAS B safety pack options. Every raft comes packed in a weatherproof fiberglass container to keep it protected for longer service life. The container is secured to a steel deck mounted stowage cradle with a hydrostatic release, allowing for both manual and automatic launching. A space saving “low-profile” fiberglass container and aluminium cradle assembly is also available for the 4, 6, and 8 person rafts. In lieu of a SOLAS pack, Coastal Service valise packed rafts are available in 4, 6, 8 person models. www.reveresurvival.com 48º NORTH

UNCHARTED AN EPIC ADVENTURE SAILING FROM ONE LIFE TO ANOTHER

By Kim Brown Seely, $24.95 A couple facing the dreaded empty nest realize they need to rediscover who they are.

An adventure story about a voyage from one life chapter to another that involves a too-big sailboat, a narrow and unknown sea, and an appetite to witness a mythical blonde bear that inhabits a remote rainforest.

Kim Brown Seely and her husband had been damn good parents for more than 20 years. That was coming to an end as their youngest son was about to move across the country. They impulsively decided to buy a big broken sailboat, learn how to sail it, and head up through the Salish Sea and the Inside Passage to an expanse of untamed wilderness in search of the elusive blonde Kermode bear that only lives in a secluded Northwest forest. Theirs was a voyage of discovery into who they were as individuals and as a couple at an axial moment in their lives.

Kim Brown Seely, the 2016 Lowell Thomas Journalist of the Year, has worked in publishing on both coasts, including as senior editor at Travel & Leisure, contributing editor at National Geographic Adventure, and travel editor at Microsoft and Amazon.

SELF SUFFICIENT SAILOR COMPLETELY REVISED AND EXPANDED THIRD EDITION

By Lin and Larry Pardey, $29.95 This book is just what the title says. It is the distillation of what the Pardeys learned during more than 47 years of sailing together aboard their two cutters, Seraffyn and Taleisin, and on scores of other boats. Lin and Larry tell how they have sailed in comfort and safety without large cash outlay- on a pay-as-youearn-as-you-go plan and by simplifying. The first two editions of this invaluable text established Lin and Larry as worldrenowned authorities and inspirations for tens of thousands who dream of setting sail, be it for a weekend voyage across to an offshore island, or for a world circumnavigation.

Lin continues voyaging now well into her seventh decade of life. Armed with what she is learning as she explores the islands and far corners of the Tasman Sea, she has updated and revised the information found in the original edition and added several new chapters. Amidst the new material is an extensive look at the lessons learned as Lin and Larry safely negotiated the stormy waters around Cape Horn.

This book has always been held in the highest regard among offshore sailors. Now, it’s even better.

Artist's View

With an eye swoosh reminiscent of Amy Winehouse, whitewinged scoters are large and mostly black sea ducks. The white-winged scoter (pronounced sk‘oh’ter) is the largest of the three scoters that are here during the cold months. The white feathers near the male’s eye and on the wing can be seen from a fair distance and make for good identifying marks.

Unlike Amy, females are dull brown. These are winter birds for the Salish Sea, and they are here to dine on our local shellfish.

Scoters dive for clams, mussels, shrimp, and snails and seem to favor deeper water than the other two scoter species. They typically dive into shellfish beds, tear off a mouthful and, once back on the surface, sort out what’s good or not. It honestly doesn’t seem to matter, because their stomach juices can digest just about anything.

Sketches and story by Larry Eifert

White-winged scoters spend their summers in the far north like other sea ducks. They build a feather-lined nest on the ground close to water in colonies with many other scoter nests. The average scoter may have between five and eleven eggs. Everything is fine for the first few weeks of family life, but then all the nesting females start to act aggressively towards each other and chicks get mixed up. By the end of it all, some nests might have 40 offspring, others just a few.

Careful what you wish for! To resolve this, after about three weeks, the females just leave, abandon them all to fend for themselves­— and off they go to the Pacific Coast to relax. By fall, the birds arrive along the outer coast of Washington and some come by to see us.

Halcyon Wandering

“ GENTLEMEN DON’T SAIL TO Weather ”

by Becca Guillote Becca and John Guillote are young, Seattle-based cruisers exploring the world aboard their Valiant 40, Halcyon. After the dream-fulfilling downwind passage across the Pacific, they recently got a taste of sailing the “wrong way” in the South Pacific.

There’s an old saying that “gentlemen don’t sail to weather.”

That is because sailing to weather, or upwind, is not a polite or sophisticated activity. The boat is heeled over, the sails are sheeted in tight, and the skipper’s knuckles are white. There is banging and bashing, listing and creaking, pounding and jolting. Salt spray coats every surface and drips through every portlight. There are many bruises and many more curse words.

It is not fitting for a gentleman.

Well, it’s a good thing there are no gentlemen around here.

Lately, the only sailing we have done has been upwind. After a 4,000-mile downwind journey across the ocean and four months exploring the Gambier and Tuamotu islands in the “right” direction (from windward to leeward), we turned our sights on a relatively short but distinctly upwind journey from the westernmost Tuamotu island to the easternmost island in the Marquesas.

This is, by common understanding, the “wrong” way to go.

But it is also universally unacceptable to skip the Marquesas.

They are green and lush and dramatic, full of waterfalls and fresh fruit and friendly people. Since we arrived in French Polynesia via the Gambiers, in the southeast corner, and then island-hopped our way west through the Tuamotus, we had no choice but to turn around and spurn any lingering gentlemanly tendencies to bash our way northeast to the Marquesas.

Halcyon is 43-years-old this year, pretty old for an offshore cruising boat. She has spent the last several years on a mostly slow and lazy downwind stroll. Preparing for this passage, I 48º NORTH

was worried about how much we were asking of her. It would be like asking your 80-year-old grandma, who is accustomed to shuffling down to the mailbox for the newspaper, to instead jog up that hill over there. You’d be a little worried about her, wouldn’t you? What if she pulled a muscle, strained her heart, or fell and broke a hip? I did not want Halcyon to break a hip.

Our first leg was a warm-up. We sailed from Tikihau to Ahe, a short 110 nautical miles (as the crow flies) dead upwind. By the time the anchor was down inside the pass at Ahe, we had sailed 225 miles, over twice the “straight line” distance. We learned a lot on that little passage about Halcyon’s old age uphill capabilities. We learned she has to sail ten degrees lower on one tack than the other (and never as high as we hoped); we learned there is a big difference between 17 and 21 knots of apparent wind when you’re close hauled; and we learned that most of our portlights leak.

We had three days in Ahe to rest and bolster Halcyon before the big jump to the Marquesas. While we were there, we met an old salty sailor with a thick beard and a strong French accent who is on his 35th year of cruising and fourth lap around the world, all on the same boat. He was dismayed by our ambitious upwind plans. “No, no, no.” he said, wagging his finger at us, “that is the wrong way; you do not go that way.” I shrugged and smiled, and told him that we were going to do it anyway. I justified our decision by adding that the distance is only 500 miles in a straight line, so even with some tacking, it would feel relatively short after crossing an ocean. “Mark my words,” he

N OV E M B E R 2 019

While uncomfortable for the first few days, the "Halcyon" crew had found their upwind groove by the time they landed this massive blue marlin. concluded ominously, “it’s going to take you ten days at least.

Ten days you’ll be out there, and it will not be fun.”

I’ll be honest, his prophecy intensified my anxiety. What if he was right? What if this was a terrible decision? What if the strain was just too much for our old boat and she keeled over out there? Well, really there was only one way to find out. The next morning, we strapped everything down tight, taped up the leakiest portlight, took a deep breath, and turned our bow right into that wind (well, as close as we could).

The first two days were uncomfortable at best. Heeled over hard in 20-23 knots of wind with a small jib and a double reefed main, we launched off the top of the big swells, landing in the trough with a shudder as a wave of water washed over the bow and down the decks (and into the salon and onto the bed).

Our strategy was to get as much easting as we could early in the journey, before settling in for one long starboard tack north. To do this, we tacked whenever the wind shifted to take advantage of every degree of lift we could get. This meant that at least half the time, we were sailing very much in the wrong direction. After 24 hours, we had sailed 134 nautical miles, but had only made 72 miles towards our destination. Ouch.

But soon we fell into our groove. Halcyon remembered how to run uphill, though her joints creak more than they used to.

We found the sweet spot between overpowered and pinched.

We caught a huge blue marlin. We grew accustomed to the clobbering and the miles fell away.

On an upwind passage, when each movement requires bracing your body in at least three different directions, every task feels like a monumental chore. It is like living and cooking and brushing your teeth inside a snow globe in the hands of a rambunctious five-year-old. While Halcyon performed admirably for such an old girl, some of her internal systems struggled with the taxing conditions. The propane solenoid blew a fuse and began to smoke, which was more than a little alarming, and the head demanded attention in the most unpleasant of ways.

I spent the better part of a day wedged into the bathroom, my upper body precariously braced over the misbehaving and malodorous head, the entire room at a 15-degree tilt.

But it was an insurmountable task in those conditions. So was 48º NORTH

repairing a burned-out, burned-up solenoid switch. We only had 200 miles to go (in a straight line), but we were eating baked beans out of a can for breakfast and when nature called, well… it was time for a new plan.

So, despite a favorable wind shift and a strong desire to just get there, we took a break. We hove-to, a very easy maneuver when already trimmed for windy upwind sailing. We simply tacked the main, left the jib, and locked off the wheel hard over. The boat instantly righted, the wind calmed (without our speed increasing the apparent wind), and we took a collective deep breath. Heaving-to is such a great trick.

In these settled conditions, we tackled Halcyon’s various ailments in a calm manner and in a few hours, with all systems once again online, we simply gybed the boat around and reinstated our heeled-over powered-up passage-going state.

Two days later, we dropped the anchor at the base of a lush green valley that rose up dramatically to steep volcanic spires dotted with audacious mountain goats. The long upwind clobbering was over. In the end, even with our half-day hoveto respite, it took us five days­— not ten­— to sail a total of 650 nautical miles, only 150 miles more than a direct line course.

The journey was wet and bruising and, at times, a bit smelly. But Halcyon once again proved her proficiency; and we decidedly refuted our bearded French friend, with his anxiety-ridden prognosis of “terribly uncomfortable” and “not possible.” We discovered that sailing upwind offshore is only fairly uncomfortable, but very much possible...provided you are not too gentlemanly.

After Becca and John explored both the Tuamotus and the Marquesas, John recently posted, “Both island chains are populated by the most hospitable and friendly people that I have ever come across in all my travels.” Follow them at www.halcyonwandering.com

Atlantic CROSSING - THE BIG ONE! EATING WELL IN OCEAN SWELL

November 11, 25.22 N, 027.14 W, Log: 205,693 miles To juggle the timing of departing Europe before winter but not crossing the Atlantic until the Caribbean hurricane season was over, we’d left Mahina Tiare in Lanzarote for a month, returning in late September. With just a week to prepare, we were thankful for a new supermarket nearby that carried absolutely the highest quality and lowest priced fruit, vegetables and baked goods anywhere in Europe. There was no doubt we'd be eating well on this big passage!

Heading west, fresh winds gusting to 34 knots surged us along like a racehorse, and on passing the Canary Islands, our new crew were hard at work honing their steering and reefing skills. Sadly this was short lived, and intermittent motoring in 10-foot confused beam seas and swells plagued us for the next few days until the trades returned. Once again in brisk following winds, we rigged the whisker pole and shipboard life fell into a steady rhythm.

When a genoa seam split, we waited until morning for calmer seas so we could lower the sail and re-stitch it. We’ve been carrying a new replacement genoa for a year thinking that—after 50,000 miles and five seasons—this sail would eventually wear out. So, there was no surprise that some stitching parted.

The minute the repair was completed, the crew had the genoa back on the foil and quickly claimed that conditions were perfect for the cruising spinnaker. When hoisted, we enjoyed the extra surge of speed and helming became a sought-after duty.

For entertainment, we had dinnertime storyteller of the day. Over our Cuban Picadillo, Ronan, our Irishman, told the riveting and true saga of Grace O’Malley the Pirate Queen.

Business or Pleasure, AquaDrive will make your boat smoother, quieter and vibration free.

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

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

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

How-to

by Alex and Jack Wilken

Protect YOUR UNDERWATER METAL

I

t seems like there are always surprises waiting for boat owners when the time comes to haul out, and we were no different when we hauled our 50-foot steel ketch this fall.

After mooring for many years in polluted freshwater on Lake Union, we found that while our sacrificial anodes were mostly still there, they had stopped protecting the boat sufficiently.

This caused a lot of deep rust pitting on the hull plates. With this in mind, we thought it would be a good time to revisit sacrificial anodes with a focus on any special considerations for anodes in fresher water.

First off, why do we need sacrificial anodes? Well, the moment you place two different metals in a conductive solution, you have created a battery. The less noble, more negatively charged metal will act as the anode by giving up electrons to the more noble, more positively charged metal, which will act as the cathode. This will corrode the anode. Most of the metals we use on boats are alloys that contain more and less noble metals that we don’t want to sacrifice to each other.

To prevent them from doing so, we need to add a less noble sacrificial anode to protect the other metal underwater.

Noble metal, less noble metal? No, we are not speaking of royalty or feudalism. It is about voltage. In saltwater, zinc measures -1.05 volts, aluminum -1.10 volts, and magnesium is -1.6 volts. In order to sufficiently protect a metal, the sacrificial You can measure the electrical potential of all the metals on your boat with a silver/silver-chloride reference electrode and a voltmeter. To do this, connect one test lead to the metal part you are measuring the potential of (or something connected to it electrically) and the other lead to the reference electrode, and hang it in the water near the metal part you are measuring. Check the chart that comes with the reference electrode to see if you are being properly protected. Note that in fresh, polluted fresh or brackish water, the numbers will be lower than in saltwater, which the chart is normally referencing. In fresh and brackish water, it is more important to have the anode physically closer to the metal part since the water is less conductive.

It is hard to get concrete information on how much the numbers will vary in fresh or brackish water. We have heard the difference may be 0.2 volts lower. To know exactly, it’s a good idea to measure on your boat in its moorage location every three months in the beginning to get a baseline. Then, if your anodes seem to be working correctly, you could space it out to every six months.

48º NORTH

anode must be at least 0.2 volts more negative than the metal being protected.

Let’s say that you are trying to protect a bronze propeller on a stainless-steel shaft. The bronze would probably read between -0.40 and -0.45 volts, the shaft between -0.5 and -0.6 volts. A zinc anode is 0.45 volts more negative than the less noble of the two metals so it will adequately protect them. Aluminum is 0.5 volts more negative so it will protect even better. Magnesium is at least 1 volt more negative in saltwater, so it must do an even better job, right? Well, not exactly.

The bigger the difference, the faster the anode will sacrifice, and the different metals have different amp capacities by weight. Aluminum has a capacity of about 1,108 amp hours per pound, zinc about 368 amp hours per pound, and magnesium about 500 amp hours per pound. But they don’t weigh the same. Zinc is the heaviest, and if we use it as a reference of 100, then aluminum has a relative density of 42 and magnesium is 27 relative to zinc.

Anodes tend to be sized by volume rather than weight. So let's say a 3lb zinc anode has a capacity of 1,104 amp hours, while a similarly sized aluminum anode would weigh less and have a capacity of 1,396 amp hours, and a similar volume of magnesium would have a capacity of 630 amp hours. So while an aluminum anode will generally last 25% longer than its

zinc counterpart, magnesium will last less than 33% of the time a zinc anode would.

These equations change in freshwater because the water is less conductive. The voltage difference drops, and thus you often need to use magnesium instead of aluminum or zinc.

The voltage difference of zinc and aluminum is not great enough to protect the nobler metals; and the alloys in the bronze, stainless, or aluminum boat parts would sacrifice first, destroying the alloy structure.

Another aspect that makes Magnesium a good anode choice in fresh, polluted fresh, or brackish water is that zinc and, to a lesser extent, aluminum anodes can form a crust that will make them inactive in those environments. This was part of the key learning with our most recent haulout. The development of this exterior layer had prevented our aluminum anodes from sacrificing (and protecting), which is why the anodes appeared in good shape while the steel hull did not. If the boat does not move frequently, this can happen more easily. It is possible to use a wire brush to scrape the crust off and reactivate the anode. Moving the boat to saltwater should also reactivate the anode.

So, why should you use zinc instead of aluminum anodes in saltwater? It’s kind of a trick question: in almost all cases, you shouldn’t. Aluminum protects better and longer than zinc, plus, in order for zinc anodes to work, they must contain cadmium, which is not good for the environment. So, how come zinc is so commonly used? The answer is mostly momentum—aluminum is more difficult to manufacture into anodes than zinc, as it has

48º NORTH

a higher melting point. Aluminum is cheaper than zinc, so the profit margin on aluminum anodes is higher, but it requires an investment to tool up for aluminum anode production and some anode manufacturers do not seem to want to switch.

Apart from the availability of aluminum anodes, which is better all the time, the one potential downside of using aluminum anodes in saltwater is if other boats on your dock are using zinc anodes and you don’t have an isolation transformer or a galvanic isolator. Aluminum, being the less noble metal, will sacrifice first and protect the more noble zinc, so your anodes will sacrifice faster. This is exactly why you should have an isolation transformer or at least a galvanic isolator.

There is no anode lottery. If you check your anodes after six months and they have not corroded, it’s not that you got a good set... they are not protecting your boat! Something will corrode, and you want it to be the sacrificial anode. Normally, anodes won’t last much more than a year. Once half of an anode has sacrificed, it should be replaced; don’t try to wait until it is nearly gone. If you haven’t changed yours in longer than that, you should double and triple check that they are working.

Propellers are expensive, so are shafts and out-drives; and, in our case, this anode oversight left us welding up holes in a steel hull.

Lessons Learned Cruising

MAESTROS OF THE Boatyard

by Jamie and Behan Gifford Teaching and learning are rich, cross-cultural parts of cruising and boat work alike.

Totem’s dusty deck is twelve feet above crushed gravel. Our mainsail cover is stretched tight over the foredeck for shade from the baking sun over the Sonora Desert. We’re back in the boatyard in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, preparing for another trip to the South Pacific. The temperature peaked at 115° Fahrenheit. The dusty deck gets way too hot for bare feet—we measured it at 155°! Around 8 p.m., our boatyard world cools to a comfortable 96 degrees.

Dinner prep starts and Maestro comes to teach Spanish.

Behan is a language geek, but she’s not our Maestro in this case. Me? Nope, I’m still practicing English and Maestro tried me for lessons, but I was unable to progress beyond “¿dónde están los baños?” Maestro found our daughters, Mairen and Siobhan, more capable students.

This evening, Maestro is leaning against the dusty cover over our primary winch, coaxing a growing vocabulary from Totem’s young crew. He is a boatyard night watchman actually named Federico, and proud Mexican who is taking time to teach foreigners his language—a wonderful example of positivity in a world that some days can 48º NORTH

feel negatively charged.

Both cruising and boatyards are good at bringing out the maestros; and in both venues we all find ourselves assuming roles of student and Maestro in different situations.

Last year in this same spot, I was installing a new cutlass bearing (the composite cylinder with rubber insert that supports the propeller shaft in the shaft strut). There was one small problem: it was stuck half-way into place. Bashing would have helped my frustration, but ruined the part. I flagged down Pancho, a particularly skilled boatyard worker. His English is a little better than my Spanish and he instantly understood the problem and said, “uno momento.” I hoped he wouldn’t return with a bigger hammer.

He arrived carrying two metal plates with two long bolts through them.

Instantly, I grasped the solution—a kind of clamp. Plates at either end, and as we tightened the bolts the bearing pressed perfectly into place. Pancho became my Maestro, and I learned a new nugget of boat knowledge. I’ll use a variant of this technique in a few days to press fit a bronze bushing into Totem’s gooseneck.

This morning, I played Maestro to Barry 24

and Jo from the catamaran Boomerang.

After much trepidation, they decided to unstep their mast to replace the standing rigging and any other faulty bits. The notion of tackling this project with their own hands and my instruction, rather than a rigger that accepts credit cards, was not easy for them. “What if we screw up?” they asked. “I’ll be there to guide and inspect,” I replied. Unsure still, I held class to teach them about rig forces: tension, compression, torsion, material properties. I capped the lesson with, “Barry, you’re an engineer and already understand everything I just said, right?” He smiled and we went to work. Sometimes being a Maestro is just about showing a person that they already have the tools, they’re just stored in a different toolbox.

The language of a boatyard and the need to collaborate bridges nationalities and languages; and, in this particular yard, it involves people from Mexico, the United States, Canada, Australia, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, and Romania, among others. We cobble words together whose meanings become universal. Corrosion, taper, radius, filet, void, delam, barrier, tang, and toggle are the vocabulary we share in the boatyard.

N OV E M B E R 2 019

Even when we know the meaning, the work of the boatyard brings a richer understanding.

Corrosion is another thing I understand, and can thus be Maestro to others. I teach the what, how, and where questions on corrosion. I can reveal its hiding places. Often, it’s a hard lesson.

Last week in the boatyard, I inspected rigging for Brian and Anna from the catamaran Strange Byrds. They’d had the mast unstepped and inspected the year before, so expected few, if any, faults. Unfortunately, what we found was unsettling: two wires with cracked strands and four damaged diamond stays. It’s the kind of gut punch long term cruisers steel themselves for from time to time, but it never feels good. It’s also an important opportunity to learn more about their boat and the forces that affect it.

Boatyards have a way of recalibrating belief and reality. On the water, claims are often allowed to go untested or authenticated. Knowledge is relative, we act on the information we have, and creative self-sufficiency can involve

48º NORTH

a lot of guess work. Conversely, in the boatyard, we’re all laid bare by the need to know and the opportunity to more deeply understand; because getting it wrong has consequences. “What if we screw up?” we wonder, just like Barry and Jo. This is why boatyards—or at least this boatyard with its dust and heat—are so wonderfully balanced by overflowing knowledge and people smart enough to ask for a lesson. We all wear the Maestro hat now and then. It’s just as important to be the student too, and take advantage of the people with skills and experience and the opportunity to really learn about our boats. It’s easy to learn the language of cruising from books, but more complicated to apply in real life.

What happens when the cutlass won’t fit, or when the shiny stainless steel looks ok but was not inspected closely enough to reveal cracks? Maestros help us answer these questions that aren’t typically found in the cruising literature.

Two days after finding concerning wires on Strange Byrds, the crane was positioned to lift the mast and lower it

25

gently down to earth. Elsewhere in the yard, Mike the law professor was once again bluer than a smurf from sanding bottom paint to correct a hull problem that his neighbor identified. Andrew the Aussie accountant received a lesson in alternative ways to remove the frozen bolt securing his quadrant to the rudder post after hours of bashing it without success.

We students and Maestros of the boatyard, longing for sweet ocean under our keel, know that the crushed gravel there now is part of the grit that makes us better sailors and better humans. We’re grateful for the sailors, night watchman, boatyard workers, and literally hundreds of Maestros we’ve met around the world. Our world is the best classroom.

Though “Totem” is in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, Jamie and Behan are in Annapolis for the Boat Show. They intend to be back in the PNW for the Seattle Boat Show in January. Follow their adventures at www.sailingtotem.com

CRUISING

Sailor Welcome to the first ever 48° North Gift Guide!

Whether you think about these products while compiling your holiday wishlist or when acting as a generous little elf for the sailor in your life, our goal is to provide a mix of gear that will make the adventures of Pacific Northwest mariners more comfortable, safe, and fun. This guide is entirely curated by the seasoned sailors on our editorial team (this is not advertising), and we've chosen products that we have positive personal experience with or those that would put a smile on our faces if we found them in our stocking. And for most of these, it's both.

Our Gift Guide is broken up into four categories that can appeal to a wide spectrum of sailors. There’s something for the galley guru in Foodie Boater; for the small boat wanderer or racer in Adventurer; for the sailor who loves collecting useful gadgets in Gear Head; for the salty wayfarer in Cruising Sailor.

Starting off with the Cruising Sailor, we know what the essentials are when sailing the Salish Sea and beyond in every season, because we’ve done it. To sail year 'round in the Pacific Northwest, you must be able to stay warm and dry. To explore off the beaten path, you need a solid and reliable ground tackle setup. The more remote you get, the more you've got to be both self-sufficient and safe.

And wherever you sail, it doesn't hurt to be a bit stylish.

SPYDERCO ASSIST SALT™ When almost no other piece of gear can match the importance of a quality deck knife to a sailor — enter the ASSIST SALT™. Impeccable cutting performance, an ergonomic grip and immunity to corrosion combined with a sturdy back lock, integrated survival whistle, wire pocket clip, and blunt tip make this knife an essential for avid seafarers. $170 spyderco.com

While any one of the products in this guide is sure to please a PNW sailor, there are a few categories of salty goods or services not mentioned specifically that should be considered as perennial sailor-faves.

EDUCATION: Sailing is an exercise in lifelong learning, and the best sailors jump at the opportunity to expand their knowledge. Educational offerings continue to expand and improve. Consider a traditional coastal navigation course for the newer boater, spinnaker handling for the active intermediate, or a weather forecasting class more advanced sailor focused on self-sufficiency. Courses about engine work or racing are also terrific choices. If you really want to wow the sailor in your life, consider booking a private on-the-water coaching session with a local pro or sailmaker.

APP SUBSCRIPTIONS: A modern sailor is as reliant on her phone or tablet as ancient sailors were on their astrolabes...ok, probably more. The array of genuinely helpful sailing apps increases daily, and many of the good ones require some skin-in-the-game for access to the most detailed data. Useful apps can give essential and reliable information about navigation, tides and currents, weather, and marine traffic. Without asking directly, it may be hard to know which apps a sailor already subscribes to, but a gift certificate to the app store may be welcome license to indulge in an upgrade or an exciting new app.

GOOD READS: The library of thrilling, informative, and inspiring sailing literature provides a lifetime of enjoyment. Consider memoirs of round-theworld cruisers, books on racing technique, or nail-biters about surviving extreme conditions. Perpetually relevant and appreciated are cruising guides, which are often annually updated; the best of these are compiled and written by local boaters. Whether learning from an armchair or lounging in the cockpit while the boat sways sleepily on her hook in a quiet anchorage, sailors love a great book.

Pro-tip: the gift of a book pairs beautifully with a nice bottle of a sailor’s libation of choice.

GRUNDENS DECK-BOSS BOOT Equally at home on rocky beaches and decks awash with seawater, a durable pair of waterproof boots is a must for PNW boaters.

The new 15-inch Deck-Boss Boot provides allday comfort and features Grundens’ patented “Herkules Grip™” outsole for superior slip resistance. $134.99 grundens.com

WHAT OVERBOARD

Survivors

Want You to Know Who are the experts on the experience of overboard recovery? It’s the people who’ve had it happen to them in real life, not in a practice drill. This article is a window into the experience of those experts—local boaters who have been overboard and are willing to share what they learned from their experiences. Some stories may be familiar, others may not.

Before we get into it, you’ll see that all of the survivors featured here are women. This is purely coincidental.

I have no data that suggests that women go overboard disproportionately often. This is just a result of the fact that I have a lot of connections with the local women’s boating community, and that’s who happened to respond to my inquiries for this story.

An overboard situation can happen to anyone. Most boaters think it won’t happen to them, yet two survivors interviewed for this article are professional captains and instructors and several others also have a lifetime of experience. Whether novice or savvy salt, cruising or racing, aboard large boats or small, sail or power, no one is immune to the risks of going overboard.

Life jackets — just wear them. You’ll meet lots of sailors who don’t wear life jackets. But I have yet to meet an expert on the overboard experience­— a survivor—who doesn’t ALWAYS wear their PFD. Put life jackets on before you leave the dock. Don’t assume you’ll put it on before the conditions pick up, or before you 48º NORTH

must go out of the cockpit, or when an emergency happens.

Consider the experience of Judy Rae Carlson from Port Orchard. She was the mainsail trimmer in a race that was predicted to be a light-wind drifter. When the winds slowly built to the point that she wanted her life jacket on, a crewmate retrieved it from the cabin for her. She had it in her lap so she could put it on… but before she did, a broach threw her headfirst over the lifelines.

If not already integral, add crotch straps to your life jacket.

Fitting your inflatable life jacket with crotch straps should, and in many cases does, hold you higher in the water. It also prevents the inflated bladder from squeezing your neck, head, and ears, which can cause you to panic. This is common wisdom and is reflected in offshore racing requirements, but it strikes a more relevant chord from a person who saw the benefit firsthand.

Christina Carter of Seattle was sailing on the J/105, Last Tango, during a spring regatta in 2013.

She had two years of sailing experience with a local sailing club, and had been crewing on this boat for a few races prior.

She was on the foredeck, and the boat was doing its final tacks prior to a Christina Carter 34

“Suddenly, I was in the water. I don’t even remember how it happened.

This was not what I expected. I thought I would have been more aware as the ‘accident’ was happening.” - Elaine Cashar specific type of spinnaker set involving procedures she was less familiar with. Instead of crossing the foredeck during the tack (her typical route), she decided to go across under the boom so she didn’t trip on or foul the pre-set spinnaker gear.

She skidded over the wet deck, where she expected to find a toe rail to stop her as there is on the foredeck, but there wasn’t one. She went off the boat underneath the life lines and was in the water for about ten minutes before being rescued by the same boat from which she’d fallen.

After the experience, Carter said, “I had learned about crotch straps at the Offshore Safety at Sea class. I was so glad I put them on my inflatable life jacket when I went overboard. I tightened them down when I was in the water, which made me much more comfortable.”

Overboard events often happen quickly. Crewmates may not even realize it’s happened, which makes a whistle and light on your life jacket particularly important. Sometimes more than one person goes overboard.

Aubre Lawless Nelson of Seattle says, “My advice is, make sure to yell! I slipped overboard on the leeward side under the sail, and they didn’t even realize I was gone.” That’s a scary thought, but it’s one to keep in mind when considering your preparation and readiness in the event that you wind up in the water. It also reinforces the need for equipment that can make you easier to find.

Tacoma sailor Elaine Cashar gives us another perspective on how fast a person can go overboard. “I was racing on a Soverel 33 sailing under spinnaker. The pole dipped into the water, spun around, and broke the mast. I was on the coachroof as a human preventer for the Elaine Cashar boom. Suddenly, I was in the water. I don’t even remember how it happened. This was not what I expected. I thought I would have been more aware as the ‘accident’ was happening.”

Cashar’s memory of the aftermath is clearer. She says, “I remember that the water was strangely warm. The crew grabbed my foot to pull me in, which was possible because the boat was not moving at the time. I was a bit dazed. When I was pulled back on board, I was not sure what to do next and had to be told to go down below and get out of my wet clothes. Was this shock? Probably.”

Have a Lifesling, and make sure everyone on board knows how to use it as both rescuer and the person in the water.

Dolly Lieber of Seattle was 67 years young when she was the crew overboard for the first time after a lifetime of boating experience. She was sailing on the J/35 Intrepid and the team was preparing for a casual buoy race on a blustery Saturday morning in Dolly Lieber January 2019. They had a crew of two men and five women of varying experience levels when they sailed out of Dumas Bay north of Tacoma. The water temperature was 51°F. This is how Lieber described her situation: “I was working foredeck with a highly experienced male crewmember and we were waiting for a totally inexperienced female to release the back-winded jib sheet. She had no idea what she was doing, didn’t even know the basic boat terminology. I was standing at the mast to help the jib around the shroud when she threw her line off the winch and both of the jib sheets and clew came flying at me. I stepped back to avoid being pummeled, and the new working jib sheet flew beneath me. When the trimmer tightened the sheet as quickly as she could, it picked me up and flung me over the lifelines. I clipped the shrouds and plunged into Puget Sound.”

Lieber continues, “Intrepid skipper, Patrick Robinson, teaches man overboard classes, so I was very blessed to have such a skilled and experienced person in charge of my rescue.

He was textbook perfect, deploying the MOB flag and life ring, dropping the jib, and freeing the halyard to pull me out of the water. They deployed the Lifesling and circled me, grabbing me on their first pass.”

Noting her inexperience with the Lifesling, Lieber says, “I didn’t know how to put the Lifesling around me, so I held onto the tow rope for dear life” while her foredeck compatriot pulled her in. She was wearing an auto-inflate life jacket with crotch straps and spray hood, which she says kept her from drowning while being pulled backwards.

Getting Lieber back on board was its own challenge. She says the two men on the crew were strong and knew exactly what to do, but the women were not as strong, experienced, or knowledgeable. They had an overwrap issue when using the halyard to try to hoist her aboard, resulting in Lieber being dropped back into the water. She says, “I was having a really hard time breathing because the water was so cold, so

35

N OV E M B E R 2 019

that wasn’t much fun.” Eventually they got her back aboard.

Lieber thinks that the wide range of crew experience made the process more difficult, but having a core crew who knew what to do and how to use the key equipment was essential.

Even if you’re a great swimmer, you’re in danger if you fall overboard into cold water. There are three principal elements that make it inadvisable to rely upon swimming skills if you go overboard in cold water: the Cold Shock response, cold incapacitation, and movement restrictions in your gear.

The Cold Shock response happens when sudden immersion in cold water triggers an immediate, involuntary deep gasp reflex. You can’t help it. This gasp is followed by hyperventilation up to ten times faster than normal breathing.

If your nose and mouth are underwater when these involuntary responses occur, there’s a risk of drowning.

Linda Lewis is a USCG 100-ton captain and private boating instructor with decades of experience. She went into the water during a seemingly mundane maneuver, turning a 21foot boat end-for-end at the launch ramp in Everett. She was leaning over the water too far when a boat hook failed. “That inhale reflex when you hit the water is real,” Lewis said. “I was amazed to see how much water was in my mouth. I had to spit out water twice to be able to speak.” Was she wearing a life jacket? “YOU BET I WAS. It inflated immediately.”

Even if you get past the immediate risks of Cold Shock response, the process of cold incapacitation begins nearly immediately. As cold water lowers body temperature, chilled muscles in your hands, arms, and legs become ineffective. If you can’t control your muscles, you can’t swim, or grab a line thrown to you. Likewise, people in cold water often lose the ability to think clearly. This is related to hypothermia, but it is not the same thing and is a more immediate danger. According to Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, a Canadian physiologist who studies the effect of extreme environments on the human body, it might be an hour before a person in cold water succumbs to hypothermia. Typically, a person not wearing a life jacket will drown from cold incapacitation before this time.

Good foulies are essential in the Pacific Northwest. And if you’ve read this far, you know how important it is to wear a life jacket. But for all the good this gear does for sailors, in the water your foulies can be a literal drag, and you shouldn’t expect to swim any distance with an inflated PFD. The swimming difficulty further reinforces the need for on-board safety equipment like a Lifesling, which can help you get back to the boat without having to swim. When Dolly Lieber was in the water with her life jacket, she realized, “I couldn’t swim forward to the MOB flag with the chest inflation. I just flailed.”

(the mainsail trimmer) and Sue Senescu (the driver) were flipped off the boat.

The crew was left at halfstrength with the boat pinned on its side by the spinnaker.

Senescu was able to hang onto the stern pulpit.

This experienced four-woman crew A quick-thinking crewmate, had a devastating wipe-out that Betsy Crowfoot, grabbed left Judy Rae Carlson (far right) in the long bitter end of the the water for 45 minutes. tightened-down backstay and tied a quick bowline around Senescu to keep her attached to the boat before steep waves washed her away. (How quickly can you tie a bowline?)

Meanwhile, Carlson was not quite so lucky. Freeing herself from a tangle of lines, she didn’t see the horseshoe life-ring that another crewmember had thrown to her. It quickly blew out of reach. On the boat, Crowfoot had pulled the pin at the bottom of an inflatable man-overboard module (MOM), which is designed to drop into the water, inflate, and provide flotation and visibility for the victim. But since the boat was pinned on its side, it didn’t fall out, and stayed uselessly in its case.

With Senescu back on board, the women set about taking the spinnaker down, but not before the boat had drifted quite a distance from Carlson.

The COB might not have fallen off your boat. Keep your eyes open, especially when racing. With Carlson still in the water now a significant distance from the boat, Crowfoot got on the VHF and issued a Mayday call, detailing the situation and their precise coordinates.

Other boats raced by Carlson so closely that she couldn’t believe they didn’t see her. She was ultimately rescued by skipper Bill Webster who happened to turn on his VHF radio in the middle of Crowfoot’s Mayday. He missed the “Mayday!” part of the hail, but heard an urgent voice stating a latitude and longitude. He wrote them down, even before he knew what the VHF transmission was regarding, then compared them to his GPS. Recognizing he was near the location, he alerted his crew to a possible COB nearby. They quickly spotted Carlson and rescued her using a Lifesling. At that point, she’d been in the water for about 45 minutes. Reflecting on the experience, Carlson said, “Sailing with my friends is an absolute thrill.

Treading water alone in the ocean without safety gear is not.”

If you see something strange on the water, that might even possibly be Excellent procedures and fast response from the crew a human, go investigate. still on the boat does not necessarily mean a quick recovery, Lindsey Lind of Bainbridge especially if there are multiple people in the water. When Island went overboard Judy Rae Carlson went overboard, it was during an 81-mile during a broach on a Flying coastal race. She was part of an all-woman crew of four very Tiger 10 Meter while experienced offshore racers. Between them, they had raced sailing in this year’s CYC eight Transpacs and about 50 Newport-to-Ensenada races. A Blakely Rock Race. Her knockdown slammed the boat on its side, and both Carlson story was featured in the Lindsey Lind 48º NORTH N OV E M B E R 2 019 36

April 2019 issue of 48° North. In that situation, there was some confusion in VHF radio transmissions. USCG monitors channel 16; but, racers monitoring VHF are often tuned to whatever channel the race committee has set.

Vessels in distress, such as a race boat broaching with a spinnaker, may need your help or may have lost a crew overboard during the wipeout. When describing being in the water and seeing the boat from which she fell continue to broach, Lind realized it would likely be some time before they could come back to rescue her.

Instead, she looked to the boats racing up from behind, but was dismayed to see some race by her quite closely without noticing she was there. Her rescue was facilitated by the TP52 Sonic, who saw her in the water and deployed an inflatable MOM device near her. This inflated a tall pylon near her that she was able to grab onto, not only giving her extra flotation, but also attracting the attention of the Thunderbird Selchie, the boat that rescued her from the water.

If you’re in the water at a place where boats will converge, such as a race mark, there are positives and negatives.

If the other boats see you, they can avoid hitting you as well as potentially offering assistance. Unfortunately, there will be more traffic and sailors may be distracted by the racing processes on their respective boats. Christine Carter recalls, “I fell off right near the windward mark. The guys on my boat were afraid that I might not be seen by boats approaching the mark as they focused on preparing to set their spinnakers. Fortunately, two other boats saw and avoided me. In hindsight, I wish I’d waved at them to be sure. If you’re the person in the water, do all you can to attract the attention of the boats approaching you.”

I’d like to think that no racer, given the time to think clearly about it, would put winning a race over the safety of other human beings. But in the heat of the moment, skippers have been known to say that they “couldn’t” stop to potentially render assistance to a boat or person in distress because they were racing. Race crew have been known to say, “I wanted to stop and offer help, but 48º NORTH

didn’t want to go against my skipper.”

Keep in mind that the Racing Rules of Sailing dictate: “Fundamental rule 1.1 Helping Those in Danger: A boat or competitor shall give all possible help to any person or vessel in danger.”

After a rescue, survivors and sometimes skippers have been through a traumatic experience and should be cared for and monitored both physically and emotionally. Lindsey Lind describes telling her rescuers she was “fine” when she got back to the dock. Then when they left her, she became disoriented and confused in the parking lot.

The skippers of boats that have had crew go overboard are often very traumatized themselves, and have difficulty shaking a feeling of guilt, even if the crew who went overboard are recovered safely. Take care of each other, even after the immediate danger has passed.

Thank you to all the survivors who contributed their stories and lessons learned, and to others who shared their

stories but were not featured in this article. Keep in mind that people don’t just go overboard when sailing, there are many other stories about going overboard during docking maneuvers, and these can be every bit as serious as overboard situations on open water.

Heavy AIR IN HECATE STRAIT Wild Wind & Waves in the Teeth of a Gale

W

by Patrick Davin

riting about our rough crossing of Hecate Strait isn’t something that comes easily—it’s actually a memory I’d rather not relive. Learning from your mistakes is an important trait of successful sailors, though, and the passage of time is erasing the worst bits. It seems that the memory of a difficult experience and the assurance that it eventually passed is what enables sailors to continue doing things that aren’t always fun.

My wife, Natalie, and I had plenty of tough sailing in the Pacific Northwest over the years, but our crossing of Hecate Strait was on another level entirely. Hecate Strait isn’t like other bodies of water. It has all the ingredients for rough, closely spaced waves: shallow waters, currents (both in the Strait itself and the exiting sounds adjacent to it), ocean swell entering in a direction contrary to wind waves, sharp headlands, and underwater seamounts created by the glacial topography.

Hecate lies between Haida Gwaii and the central and northern coasts of British Columbia; and traversing its 60-to90 mile width is the main way to get to Haida Gwaii. The other option is crossing Queen Charlotte Sound directly from the vicinity of Port Hardy or Cape Caution, but that’s significantly longer. As a point of reference, Hecate is six times wider than the Strait of Juan de Fuca and about twice as long.

Besides the topographical challenges, the Strait funnels wind from either the north or south, with 150 nautical miles of fetch for waves to build. The resulting waves are nothing like ocean waves—in full gales the waves commonly build to 5 meters (15 feet) at 7 seconds (which cuts the wave period of ocean swell roughly in half), and this still understates how steep they are.

On June 15, we were at the south end of Haida Gwaii near Rose Harbor, ready to cross back to mainland British Columbia after two gorgeous weeks of cruising. We had enjoyed the beauty, but were anxious to move on. Raging southerlies had swept through every two to three days for most of June, requiring us to sit in anchorages with rain so heavy we were often boat-bound.

The forecast had finally switched from southerlies to northerlies, which was just what we needed for a downwind run. But the predicted winds were a bit high — northwest at 20-30 knots for our target departure day, building to northwest 30-35 on the three days after that. At that point, we knew we had to go or wait another four to five days.

From our guidebooks and charts we knew Hecate’s reputation, but failed to fully appreciate its potential. The next morning, we woke at 4 a.m. and weighed anchor in the dark, preparing for the 18-plus hour crossing. There was no

Prior to this gnarly passage, the cruising around Haida Gwaii had been pleasant and mostly placid. Here in Bag Harbour, "Violet Hour" has no idea what's about to be thrown at her.

wind yet, so we motored offshore for an hour and then raised full sails in 10 knots from the northwest. As the morning progressed and the wind built, we reefed the main, reefed the roller furling 135% genoa, reefed the main again, furled the genoa, and then deployed our staysail.

Finally, as the wind built to 30-35 knots and the doublereefed main was making boat handling squirrelly, we took down the main and flew under staysail alone, still making 5.5 to 6 knots. It was bit under hull speed, but knowing we had a long day in store, we preferred to go too slow rather than too fast. At this point, it was all about energy conservation.

The waves at 20-25 knots got large and powerfully pushed our C&C Landfall 38, Violet Hour, around; but not beyond what we’d seen before in other places. At 30-35 knots in the middle of the strait, the waves took on a character distinctly different from our prior experience. I estimated 7-14 feet at 7 seconds (and the BC ocean buoy for the Strait later corroborated this).

They were closely spaced and coming from multiple directions.

The sight, sound, and feel of being in these big winds and waves was a departure from of our previous sailing experience, with radical spikes in stress, discomfort, and unpredictability.

Every couple sets, waves broke at the tops, rolling into a green and white churn that roared towards our stern. If we didn’t hand steer precisely and forcefully through the breakers, the crescendo of water tended to toss our stern quarter forward and round us up. Sailing beam-on to waves like these wouldn’t be good, so we strenuously hand steered for over 12 hours, pushing hard to get the bow down as a breaker approached, and heading back up to course in the troughs and smaller waves.

TACKLING THE HECATE STRAIT

If you’re thinking of crossing Hecate yourself in the future, the good news is it doesn’t have to be like this. Our first crossing, on the way to Haida Gwaii, was long and boring, with about 9 hours of motoring and 10 hours of sailing in 4-10 knots of breeze.

Before embarking on this trip we looked for guides on sailing across, but couldn’t find much. Most boats motor across, which is the easiest way and I’d have to say perhaps even the best way, given our experience with the sea state. If you want to motor across, the shortest route is from the north end of Banks Island (anchor at Larsen Harbor) to Skidegate Inlet. This is still a 70-80 nm day anchorage-to-anchorage.

If you’d rather sail across, as we desired (before we wished we’d made a different decision), you have to carefully consider the wind angles. In light wind, the wind can come from any direction, but as it builds in strength it primarily comes from either north or south, following the alignment of the strait (closer to NNW to SSE).

If you want to sail on a southerly, you can start farther south and have a good downwind run. But southerlies are often associated with low pressure fronts that mean cold, rainy, cloudy sailing with no sun (and the effectively shorter daylight hours that entails).

48º NORTH

Our trusty staysail got one heck of a workout in 30-35 knots of Hecate Strait northerly.

A northerly usually brings sunny skies and better weather.

If you’re coming from the south, though, this means first working your way at least 100 nautical miles north of Cape Caution unless you want to sail upwind for 18-plus hours — not a problem if the wind is light, but could become seriously difficult in 20-plus.

To plan a crossing by sail, you’ll want to plot out departure and arrival points that allow sailing on a single tack. Tacking upwind on an already long passage will only make it longer, especially for double-handers like us without a strong autopilot and aiming to minimize motoring. The difference between a direct and expeditious transit (18-20 hours) is quite stark compared to one just a bit longer (24-30 hours). We also made sure not to plan on a perfect course with no room for error (45 degrees off the breeze going to weather or 150-180 degrees if going downwind). If you’re aiming to sail a straight line, it’s best to keep some money in the bank for when the wind ends up at a more adverse angle than you expected.

Little could’ve been done to make our passage comfortable.

The best thing we could’ve done was to not go that day. Other than, that the only things that might have helped would have been more crew to share the physical strain of steering, or a really good autopilot.

The sound was what got to us the most. Being in 35 knots creates a strident cacophony. Wind howled through the rigging, creaking sounds emanated throughout the boat and bulkheads, breaking waves roared behind us; and then there was the percussive boom of a wave hitting the hull.

In terms of sight, I was constantly switching my gaze between the waves and the instrument displaying true wind angle and boat speed. But mostly, I was sailing by looking back over my shoulder, which was necessary to keep a very close watch on waves approaching our stern. The breaking ones approached quickly and erratically. And there was little point in looking ahead, because we couldn’t see over the wave tops anyway. Periodically at the top of a wave, I scanned for traffic.

There was none, but I was filled with anxiety knowing that a log or debris would be hopeless to spot.

The tactile sensation of being in these waves was an exercise in constantly bracing our bodies against the tossing movement of the boat. Even though we were sailing downwind, we were rolling sharply as the waves picked up our stern and pushed it forward. Going into the cabin for a few minutes for a change of clothes was positively exhausting, and we minimized movement as much as possible. In the cockpit we wedged ourselves into position, trying to find comfort in the same two to three places for hours at a time.

Wind howled through the rigging, creaking sounds emanated throughout the boat and bulkheads, breaking waves roared behind us; and then there was the percussive boom of a wave hitting the hull. The noise got on our nerves after a few hours, and the best relief we got was listening to music with noise blocking headphones.

All the while, fears ran through my head. What if we couldn’t make the harbor we were aiming for and got swept into the southerly point of the sound? The coast there juts out into a long rocky promontory, a lee shore. I wasn’t sure how

48º NORTH

successfully we could sail upwind in these waves if we had to.

And what was that mysterious knocking sound coming from below the cockpit floor every 10-15 seconds? It sounded like the rudder getting pushed up by waves, but also could’ve been a stowed container knocking into the hull.

Of course, things got worse before they got better. Around 3 p.m. the waves had built more and I gave up on the autopilot once and for all. The biggest waves would come up to our stern, build into growling breakers, and then smack our stern down the wave. Of course, I tried to anticipate these, steering down them before they could have their way with the boat, but sometimes they caught me unprepared. One breaker slammed into the stern quarter and dumped gallons of cold seawater into the cockpit, soaking my pants and shoes. Water sloshed around the cockpit, slowly draining.

It was an immense relief when we finally managed to reach St. John Harbor around 11 p.m. in fading light that was just barely enough to dodge the dozens of logs in the water that had gathered along a tide line in the sound. We’d sailed 104 nautical miles in the worst conditions we’d ever seen, and fell straight asleep, too exhausted to do anything more. Despite regretting our decision to leave on a borderline forecast, we learned a lot from this experience. Since then, we’ve upgraded our autopilot, learned to use better sources for wind forecasts, and made more cautious decisions about longer passages.

First Annual

DOUBLE DIPPER RACE Dufour 31 "Reverie" and Hanse 455 "Bribery" trade tacks in the windy conditions off of Foulweather Bluff.

On September 28th and 29th, a new single- and doublehanded distance race was hosted by Seattle Yacht Club.

Dubbed the Double Dipper Race, the event goes from Shilshole Bay to Port Ludlow for an overnight stay on Saturday, and then races back on Sunday. It is a standard pursuit race with two course options that are decided upon by the Race Committee prior to the start depending on conditions. One course starts at Shilshole, rounds Blakely Rock, then finishes near Port Ludlow— a distance of about 30 miles. The other course starts at Shilshole and goes directly to Port Ludlow—about 19 miles.

The varied conditions at the start called for the shorter course; yet the light northerly at Shilshole eventually developed into 25 knots and 4-foot seas at Foulweather Bluff, with a mix of rain and sunshine. These conditions made for exciting sailing for the short-handed racers.

At Port Ludlow, everyone gathered for a wonderful tent party with salmon and tri tip steak, horseshoes, Valholl India Pale Ale, and a bonfire. The Saturday winners in the Flying Sails division were Ben and Jen Glass on the Schooner Creek 44 Ocelot. Non-Flying Sails winners were Peter and Stephanie Walchenbach on the Norlin 34 Runaway.

Sunday, the start was in a light northerly again, with rain and a huge ebb tide. Fortunately, the breeze held on long enough for everyone who started to cross the finish line off Shilshole Bay Marina.

The overall winners in the Flying Sails fleet were Matt Pistay and Alan Johnson on the Farr 30+ Square One and Non Flying Sails were Peter and Stephanie Walchenbach on Runaway.

Best Jack/Jack was Matt Pistay and Alan Johnson on Square One. Best Jill/Jill was Maureen Batterberry and Sofie Mracova 48º NORTH

on the Hanse 455 Bribery. Best Jack/Jill was Ben and Jen Glass on Ocelot. Best Singlehanded was Dan Tedrow on the Cal 2-34 Resolute.

With the sailing and camaraderie, it was a very successful inaugural year for what will hopefully become a fall tradition in the Pacific Northwest.

FOULWEATHER Bluff A Summery Start to the Fall Racing Season

For many central Sound sailors, Corinthian Yacht Club of Edmonds’ Foulweather Bluff Race is the official kickoff of the fall racing season. Turnout for the race reflected this sentiment and was excellent with 70 boats sailing across eleven classes, which included PHRF and ORC, a non-flying sails class, and one multihull.

Nobody told the wind it was fall, however. A light southerly with cloud cover made for slow-motion spinnaker-hoist starts at the favored pin end. As the fleet made their way north toward Whidbey Island (all courses have their first mark at Scatchet Head), the clouds gave way to sun but the sailable southerly soon petered to a midday float-fest before a light northerly filled. This light air coincided with a switch to an ebb tide; and while it wasn’t even a strong tide by Puget Sound standards, it eventually swept a large number of boats past the rounding mark at Scatchet Head! Many of these boats had to re-hoist their kites as the northerly filled to get back to round the mark at Scatchet Head.

The mid-distance boats then had a close reach to the Pilot Point mark, and according to the Al Hughes aboard Creative— the eventual winner of the J/105 class—the low road paid off for the best position against the ebb.

Kites went back up for the drag race to the finish, which was really more of an exercise in connecting the dots and avoiding the dead-air holes. These conditions certainly made for some passing lanes, however, and there were lead changes on the final leg in multiple classes.

Perseverance was rewarded, and every class had at least one finisher. Most of the faster boats were able to finish, but the light air hit the higher-rated boats harder with several retirements. Kudos are due to the sailors who stuck it out through the breeze-less transition to complete the day's racing!

While there were moments of understandable frustration, as there always are in light air, it was a beautiful Pacific Northwest day on the water shared among friends!

SAILING & PARTYING TO BEAT HUNGER The 27th Annual NW Harvest Race to Fight Hunger, sponsored by the Seattle Singles Yacht Club, brought 23 boats out on the water, including a TP 52 (the first one that’s ever participated in this race!), a trimaran, and several schooners.

Benefit

good winds in front of Shilshole got the racers off the start and around the first leg of the course. Unfortunately, that would be the best breeze of the day, and eventually the wind gave out and the race had to be shortened—an outcome that we all occasionally have to accept in a weather dependent sport like ours.

Many of the sailors on the water have a long history with this race, but everyone was happy to see a number of new faces this year too. Al Johnson, who has done this race since 2012, won the Flying Sails Fast class with his Quest 30, Charlotte.

Jeff Blyth’s Catalina 36, Mata Hari, a first time participant, won Flying Sails Slow class. Alan Vogt, who has also sailed this race for more than ten years on his Catalina 42, Blue Fin, took first in the Non-Flying Sails class, beating out SSYC Commodore Brad Lefton, who took second. The Half-Fast class winner is drawn from a hat and perennial NW Harvest racer High Hopes, whose Nauticat 44 crew was dressed as pirates, were the lucky winners.

Commodore Brad announced the winners and gave them their trophies at the evening dinner, which also included a lively auction & dance held at the Ballard Elks. In this regard, in spite of the underwhelming breeze, the “Benefit” part of this event was still an overwhelming success! For the past 27 years, Seattle Singles Yacht Club has proudly helped sailors contribute to Northwest Harvest, Washington’s hunger relief agency. Georgia Selfridge, the evening’s chair, met the goal of selling out all 120 seats and the auction raised $17,000 for NW Harvest, the most raised by this event since 2009!

PUGET SOUND SAILING Championship Two Weekends Of Fall Fun As the clouds roll in and the hills behind Shilshole change from a cool green cast to warm autumnal orange, the sailors of the Puget Sound region break out their best sails and put a year’s worth of racing practice to the test in Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle’s fall classic, Puget Sound Sailing Championships (PSSC).

Racing is split into two regattas on consecutive weekends, divided by the loosely defined categories of “Small Boats” on the first weekend and “Big Boats” on the second.

PSSC Small Boats brought out big fleets in two classes— J/24 and RS Aero—as well as a half-dozen Tasars on the first weekend in October. For the J/24 fleet, this regatta served as the Western Regional Championship, a World Championship qualifier for the big show in Miami in late October. Pete Sauer and his Jackwagon crew borrowed Harry Dursch’s Self Abuse and narrowly won the regatta and the right to compete against the world’s best.

Veteran signle-handed dinghy racer Mike Johnson showed the 21-boat RS Aero fleet the importance of consistency by winning with an eight point lead despite only taking a single bullet in nine races. Past Tasar World Champ Jay Renehan bested a talented fleet with another type of consistency, taking first in all races except one.

In terms of overall participation, both in the number of boats and, with much larger crews, the number of sailors, the Big Boats weekend of PSSC is a bigger event. CYC makes the investment to send two committees out to run races on separate north and south courses in an effort to reduce traffic and waiting times between races. This proved particularly advantageous in 2019 because there was only wind to race on Saturday, and the committees made the most of the opportunity, scoring between four and six races per class on that day.

Boats headed out to the course on Saturday morning with 48º NORTH

light-air setups and as much weight left back on the dock as possible. The models were in conflict and none had much breeze to speak of. Sometimes, instability in the forecast works out for the better, and Saturday was just that kind of day. Racing started on time with a light northerly and built to a far-better-than-forecast 12-15 knots. Who doesn’t love when expectations are exceeded? As the Dark ‘n’ Stormies flowed back in the clubhouse, psyched sailors grinned at the good fortune to have gotten in such a fine day of racing, when any amount of sailable breeze would have been a win.

The racing itself was tight and super fun. The early lighter breeze brought some massive shifts—more than 70° in the first race!— but steadied as the pressure increased. As the first major buoy race of the fall season, a few teams had to shake off a bit of rust while turning corners and getting sails up and down more frequently than the average distance race. Good starts and tactics were well rewarded; but, as always, boat speed wins races.

It was great to see all the one design activity, with Melges 24s, J/80s, San Juan 24s, and J/105s out in force for some very tight racing and a few photo finishes. It was also cool to see four of the area’s five TP 52s on the line for some buoy racing.

This was the best showing of 52s for a buoy racing regatta to date. Of course, the 52s were sharing the course with the newthis-year XP-44, Maverick, which took bullets in two of four races on corrected time and nearly beat out John Buchan’s Glory for the top spot on the podium in the ORC class.

CYC’s two weekends of PSSC always hold some of the best and most fun racing of the year on Puget Sound, and 2019 was no exception!

10 HP MARINE DIESEL ENG/TRANS Professionally rebuilt 1,000 engine-hours ago in 2008 (I have all the paperwork and the shop manual), this 1-cylinder 1979 Yanmar YSM-12 has powered my Bayfield 29 sailboat, Kabloona, from Desolation Sound to Seattle (and most points in between) over the years. In that time the engine has never refused to start and never quit underway. I'm getting older and have switched engines to maximize reliability.
