1997 37’ Roger Hill Powercat

IshiPishi Designed by renowned catamaran designer Roger Hill and originally built for a customer in New Zealand, this 11.2m powercat was soon sold to the Alinghi syndicate and ultimately used in the Americas Cup competitions as Weather One, a weather information support boat stationed on the race course. A light strong hull, open floor plan, stable catamaran design and twin diesel power make her the perfect PNW Cruising or fishing platform. 1988 C&C 30 MKII Del Vento Her open, useful and welcoming interior gives you the space and comfort to cruise with the family and her performance through the water gets you there sailing instead of motoring. When not cruising, that same performance champions around the buoys. THE ALL NEW 2017 MJM 35z The Luxury of Effortless Driving (at 50 mph) MJM’s NEW 35z MJM introduces what other outboard brands have sought to achieve, a combination of performance and comfortable all-weather family boating in a stunning design having great versatility. 35z’s fuel efficiency, 50-plus-mph speed and 300-plus-mile cruising range is achieved with twin 300s and only 250 gallons of fuel capacity.

September 2017

All You Need is a Reason Reflections on the Brewery Cruise Series In case you haven’t been opening up the pages to the articles with yellow trim, over the last few months, 48° North has been engaged in a fun and exciting series of articles built on the idea of planning short cruises to enjoy local craft breweries around the Puget Sound. In July, we went to the South Sound (7 Seas in Gig Harbor, Three Magnets in Olympia, and Narrows Brewing at Narrows Marina). Last month, we went to the West Sound, circumnavigating Bainbridge (Downpour in Kingston, Volhöll in Poulsbo, and Dog Days in Bremerton). This month, we went a little further north (American in Edmonds, Double Bluff in Langley, and Propolis in Port Townsend). I hope you have enjoyed reading these articles as much as we have enjoyed working on them. Behind the idea for the series is an unexpected sentiment: sometimes sailing just to sail isn’t enough. Many, many times it is; and man, that freedom of pointthe-boat-wherever-you-want sailing can be liberating! But when that alone isn’t a draw, I often allow myself the license to require a reason to sail. What surprises me about this scenario is that once I’ve let that be ok, the tiniest fraction of a reason is more than enough to pull me onto the water; and conversely, when I don’t have a reason, I don’t beat myself up for choosing to spend a weekend day on dry land. Somewhere during this series (and I apologize for not remembering who turned me onto this), a friend mentioned the notion among recreational airplane pilots of the $100 hamburger. This refers to the principle that no one in their right mind is paying $100 for a hamburger, no matter how gourmet. However, if $93 of those dollars are spent on fuel, and you fly somewhere awesome to get a $7 hamburger, it’s worth every dime, every time. This is the crystallization of the Cruise to Brews philosophy. I like beer, and I happily enjoy craft beer for no reason other than the sheer pleasure of the flavor and experience. I also like Gig Harbor, and Poulsbo, and Langley, and I’ve cruised there without specific plans and really enjoyed myself. But, the combination of the two... BOOM! Explosion of fun, and a no-brainer of a cruising itinerary! Having a reason to go has another benefit - it’s great for your friends who haven’t been bitten by the sailing bug yet. Ideally, they all will be infected eventually. To that point, I had more non-sailor friends get excited about these articles than any other sailing subject, except maybe Race to Alaska. Whether it’s beer or burgers, antiquing or art galleries, hiking or fishing - it’s ok to acknowledge that some of the people who may eventually be sailors would be drawn by the other activity first. The good times are not mutually exclusive. Autumn is a great time to keep this in mind, for yourself and your potential sailor pals. Bring them out to the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend or the Boats Afloat Show on Lake Union. Whet the appetite, and then consider giving them another reason to join you on the water. Maybe you get to do some great sailing. Maybe you enjoy some tasty beer. Certainly you’ll have a fabulous time with good folks. That’s more than reason enough! I’ll see you on the water!

Hello from S/V Oaxaca in the middle of the Pacific! Hey Joe, It’s been a while since I’ve had time to drop a line. I am just now catching up since the craziness of last year’s Pac Cup, and now I find myself strapped into the navigation station an hour before my 22:00 to 04:00 watch on the lovely Santa Cruz 50, , taking advantage of the boats unlimited Iridium Data package. We are 700 miles from the mainland and Tiburon; Oaxaca’s home port. Other than a broken boom, everything is going swimmingly, and it’s looking like a 14 day passage. I thought I would share some of the things I’ve learned on this delivery (and others) in hopes that people new to ocean sailing might be better equipped for their first watery steps offshore. Some of the things one might want to consider bringing on a trip like this are as follows: 1: A good waterproof headlamp is an essential piece of every sailor’s kit. I have gone through four head lamps in the past few years; and before flying to Hawaii for this delivery, I made a point to get a good one for once. After inspecting all the options, I went with one that had a locking o-ring. I don’t have all of its settings figured out yet or know why it has a green light option, but I am very happy with it so far. The other thing to look for in a headlamp is that it can turn directly from off to the red light. Some headlamps have to switch through the white light option and will not only blow out your night vision, but your shipmates’ night vision as well. Pair that with stumbling into the cockpit late for your watch, and this will add greatly to your new shipmates’ low opinion of your contribution on any passage. 2: Another thing that I recommend my crew bring on offshore deliveries is a double tether. There are a number of options for tethers, and as many variations in skippers’ rules on their use on deck. Between my earlier days on the foredeck offshore and my time now behind the wheel, it’s clear that this is a very important piece of a sailor’s kit. It is literally your lifeline, so it makes no sense to skimp when purchasing. www.48North.com

I have gone through as many tethers as headlamps and I see the technology on the market changing still. There are several parts to the tether. First is the carabiner where it attaches to the jack line. This needs to be something you can unclip with one hand, but won’t release on its own. There are different designs, but they are all basically marinised arborist carabiners. I have used one-handed magnetic climbing carabiners before because they are a fraction of the price. However, they’re made primarily of aluminum and, despite oiling, they seize up. There is no getting around the pricey marine grade option. The next part of the tether is the strap itself. These are often made from a piece of nylon one inch tubular webbing with, if I recall correctly, a 4500 pound breaking strength. This is sewn to the carabiner using several rows of bar tack stitching using a dull needle so as to not cut any of the webbings fibers to maintain strength. Some of the fancier tethers have elastic sewn inside the webbing which pulls them close when not in use and reduces the chances of them snagging on anything. Some of these more deluxe models also have a section of webbing doubled back and sewn with a light bar tack that is designed to rip in the event of a hard pull to absorb shock. The last part is the connection to the harness itself. Some use a simple loop designed to “luggage tag” to a harness and some use a snap shackle like you would find on a jib halyard. Here’s the real recommendation: I prefer two tethers with independent snap shackles so I can change jack lines and leave one tether somewhere I plan to come back to quickly. I also leave my tether attached to the cockpit jack line when I go below. If you don’t do this, you can also pass your carabiner out to your shipmate in the cockpit so that you are clipped in before you are on deck. I have heard of some short hand sailors using an extra long tether that allows them to be clipped in at the cockpit while they are in their berths so the are ready to be on deck at a moment’s notice. 3: Last but not least, I recommend the “fanny pack.” I’m not sure what the cool kids call them these days but i have found, other than the piano scarf, it is one of the most useful things to come out of the fashion of the 80s. If you get a waterproof/water resistant one, all the better. You can keep your headlamp in it with your ipod, headphones, sunblock, PLB, chapstick, earplugs, toothbrush, note pad, pen, multi tool and private hot sauce stash. Whether you are wearing bibs or just your speedo, you have everything you need right there and while looking cool!…it might even make you less late for your watch… Speaking of which, I’m needed on deck! No rest for the wicked...or the captain. Hope to catch up over a beer when our busy summers are in our wake this fall.

You’re the man, Rhys. Thanks for taking the time to write midPacific, and thanks for sharing your recommendations! Congrats on another successful offshore delivery. September 2017

SailAhead to Support Veterans and Families Hello Joe, My name is Sean Duclay. I’m the the co-founder of SailAhead, a non-profit organization based in New York that’s dedicated to raising awareness about PTSD and Veteran Suicide and to using sailing and the ocean as a therapeutic platform to help heal veterans suffering from PTSD. On July 15th, two coasts came together to put on SailAhead’s very first “Let’s Take a Veteran Sailing-Tacoma” event, hosted by the Tacoma Yacht Club. This event was hosted to honor SPC Ryan James Day, a Ranger from the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. Ryan ended his life in Tacoma, WA, at the age of 21 on December 15th, 2014. Ryan was a driven, ambitious, extraordinary young man, to say the least. As his father, Jim Day, put, “average was not in his vocabulary.” His struggle with PTSD was not a “typical” one, per se, but represents another face of PTSD which we often fail to acknowledge, or may not realize exists at all - a soldier’s inability to “turn off” and readjust to civilian life. We didn’t only have veterans, but also several active duty rangers from the second battalion sailing in Tacoma. All came from the Puget Sound area. We had one family come from Colorado, and another from Idaho to attend the event. The family from Colorado are Ryan’s family, the Days. Additionally, my family (all seven of us) came from New York to attend the event. We had a beautiful afternoon sail with nine sailboats participating, all of which were either members of Tacoma Yacht Club or CYC Tacoma. There was a small get-together on the docks afterward. The environment was one of healing and unity, both on and off the boats. The sailors, the veterans, and anyone else present experienced something profoundly moving that day, and the unanimous consensus following the event was that it should become an annual occurrence with and for the Ranger community in Tacoma. The science is hard to come by, and neither I, nor SailAhead as an organization, claim to be able to prove that sailing is therapeutic from a medical standpoint, but an 14

THE BRANDS YOU WANT AND TRUST IN STOCK FOR LESS

HIT Inflatable PFD with Harness Some of the fleet of nine boats sailing on Commencement Bay. event like this really reinforces this perspective. I have been sailing all my life, and I can feel it. Most sailors can attest to that as well. My brother sums it up simply. “When I’m sailing, I forget about that math test I just flunked.” Sailing truly is an escape; there is something between land and the sailboat that filters out all stresses. The natural elements and beauty of the water provide a refuge. As one marine put it “nature works better than any drug.” Also, the fact that so few veterans sail means that it is such an abstract sport, one that they have never seen before, and is a completely new world. Many people can’t compare sailing to anything on land, and therefore no pains from land are experienced while sailing, making it a clean and healing environment. We owe a massive thank you to the Tacoma Yacht Club for hosting, and to Bill Foulk and Nancy Williams. It shouldn’t be easy to host an event on the opposite side of the country, but because of their diligence and hard work, it was.

Thanks, Sean Duclay www.SailAhead.org Thanks for sending this in, Sean. I couldn’t be more in agreement about the therapeutic effects of sailing, and I’m thrilled to hear that you had such a important, healing, and heartfelt event honoring Ryan in Tacoma. I’m grateful that organizations like yours are working to take care of those who are suffering and their families. Sailing does provide such a special and unique venue for growth and healing. In the last few months, I’ve been made aware of several other on-the-water programs for active-duty service members and wounded veterans. I’d like to thank the sailing community, in this case particularly in the Tacoma area, that is already supporting events like these, and encourage others to think about donating the use of their boats to get involved in helping various populations in need through sailing. There’s much more we can do! www.48North.com

Lowtide Washington’s Clean Boating Program Wins $2.5 Million in Federal Funding for Waste Pumpout Boater sewage is a source of pollution into Washington State waters that can contaminate shellfish beds or spread waterborne diseases at popular swimming beaches. To keep this pollution at bay, Washington State Parks Department’s Clean Vessel Act (CVA) program works with the University of Washington’s Washington Sea Grant to help boaters and marinas safely dispose of vessel waste. Two recently awarded grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will bolster local CVA services, which include installing and operating septic pumpouts and educating boaters and marina owners about the importance of clean water and proper onboard sewage disposal. A total of $2.5 million of federal funding, the largest sum any of the 28 participating states received this year, includes a $1,458,446 grant for the coast and a $1,075,319 grant for inland waters.

The grants will predominately be used to continue and expand pumpout services in Washington State, including a free pumpout service on Lake Washington, planned pumpout services in Gig Harbor and the San Juan Islands, and pumpout contracts with more than 140 marinas. The CVA program reimburses marinas for 75 percent of the annual operating costs of pumpout services. Last year the CVA program helped marinas and state boaters prevent a record 10 million gallons of boater sewage from getting into the surrounding water. A substantial achievement—but Alan Wolslegel of the Washington State Parks CVA program thinks the federal funding this year will allow them to do even more. “We know there’s a lot more than we can remove,” Wolslegel says.

Their US Sailing certification program and charter club operation continues to grow and evolve, with locations in Seattle and Anacortes. With their existing charter framework, Windworks’ relationship with Catalina can offer potential buyers more time to experience new Catalina designs than a traditional demo sail.

Cape Horn’s fearsome reputation and the price it has extracted from those who venture there derives from a lethal contrivance of geography that unleashes the most powerful natural dynamic forces on the earth’s surface. Reaching deep into the Southern Ocean, the Cape intrudes into the flow of the water and weather patterns at the bottom of the world and funnels them into a maritime superhighway a mere 500 miles wide, building massive seas and accelerating wind speeds to hurricane

strength. Currents rip at rates that defeat powerful engines. These legendarily treacherous conditions were enough to secure Cape Horn’s reputation as the ultimate in ocean violence; the supreme test of sailors and ships. It is the oceanic equivalent of the climbers’ Everest, and the challenge to some became irresistible. This book recounts the history of the Cape through the stories of the people who’ve taken it on and made it round – the Cape Horners’ Club. From the first recorded single-

Our own search for the perfect ocean cruising sailboat sets the tone, content, and spirit of this book. Since we are sailors, this book emphasizes the sailing side of buying the “perfect vessel” experience. The idea of organizing for an “objective approach” to boat buying is applicable to all types of vessels, and whether

your dream includes a power yacht, a trawler, or even a river barge, you will find this book helpful in realizing your dream. The buying process is detailed to make sure any pitfalls are avoided in the process. “I have organized our particular process into

hander in 1934, we follow these very different protagonists as they pursue the ultimate goal while battling almost overwhelming odds. Woven through their stories is a history of the Cape, from its discovery to its use as a trading corridor until the opening of the Panama Canal, to its more recent role as a pure challenge for the best yachtsmen and yachtswomen in the world. Changes in weather prediction and navigation have had a huge impact, but the pressure for ever-faster times has never been greater.

The Pharos Lighthouse, in Alexandria, Egypt, one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World and the first lighthouse, was named after the island of Pharos that it stood on at the entrance to Alexandria. Rising 450 feet, Pharos was the tallest lighthouse ever. With nearly 12 centuries of continuous operation before being destroyed by an earthquake, it also held the longest service record. Pharos not only gave its name to pharology, the study of lighthouses, but is also the root word for lighthouses in many languages: phare in French, faro in Italian and Spanish, and farol in Portuguese. Dearborn, Michigan, birthplace of Henry Ford, was named after Henry Dearborn, who built the nation’s tallest brick lighthouse, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina. The lighthouse on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, is the nation’s only lighthouse that contains an elevator.

The first Fresnel lens was imported from France in 1841 and used at Navesink Lighthouse in New Jersey. Many lighthouses were damaged or destroyed during the Civil War. The Japanese built an all-glass brick lighthouse in 1998 in Shikoku.

Tropical Night at the Duck Dodge 2017

he sun was shining, the wind was lightly blowing and the elusive tropical island reappeared in the middle of Lake Union, complete with a grass hut, palm trees, tiki torches, friendly natives and wonderful local brew. Yes, it was Tropical Night at Duck Dodge again, and a good time was had by all those colorfully, and some skimpily clad sailors that reached out for a taste of delicious elixir. 48Â° North, Marine Servicenter and Ullman Sails were again joined by Fremont Brewing to refresh those thirsty sailors. The perennial mix of

tropically attired islanders, along with some new friends, were there to enrich the lives of those parched sailors as they sailed by within inches of our island... or at least tried to... but the light breeze played havoc on roundings! Never fear, those dodgers did their best to make it to the island, one way or the other! Attending the party, with plenty of guests onboard, were some of the usual suspects, such as Absolutely, Kittiwake, Scat, and Deception Island. Also in attendance was Supernault, Selchie, Slingshot, Typsy Gypsy, Shogun,

When I was a child of eight years, I knew, in the earnest way that children do, that I was meant to be a marine herpetologist when I grew up. Jacques Cousteau was my hero and I had clear visions of sailing aboard the Calypso to work alongside him studying marine iguanas in the Galápagos Islands. My father gave me a copy of Cousteau’s book, Silent World, and took me SCUBA diving for the first time when I was ten. I was entranced. Around this time, he also introduced me to sailing aboard his Irwin 10.4, the Big Sis. I loved feeling part of the water and breeze. These experiences greatly influenced the course of my life. Fast forward 40 years, several degrees unrelated to marine herpetology, two incredible daughters launched into the world, and a lifetime of wonderful experiences later. When my love, Noj, gave me the charts and a homemade courtesy flag for the Galápagos for our first Valentine’s day together, I knew I would marry him. We set sail for the Galápagos Islands from Seattle, WA, aboard Ardea, our Beneteau Idylle 13.50. We took the scenic route via British Columbia, Canada, southeast Alaska, Mexico, and Central America. We picked up Seattle sailor, Brian Larson, in Costa Rica, and he joined us for the first two weeks in the Galápagos. Our passage to San Cristobal island from Golfito, Costa Rica was not without incident. Our first two days and several degrees of latitude at sea were an exercise in dodging thunderstorms in what is known to meteorologists as the “monsoon trough.” Once we dropped below latitude 3, the thunderstorms abated. At latitude 2 we had a day of very rough seas during which I was tossed into the cockpit, breaking

some bones in my foot and cracking a rib. The next day, just as we crossed into latitude 1, our windvane failed, with 230 nautical miles to go. Clearly, this is a complicated bit of water. The Humboldt and Panama ocean currents, along with the Equatorial countercurrent, collide with interesting results. This also meant a lot of current on the nose. On the bright side, we enjoyed great breeze for most of the passage, much pomp and circumstance when crossing the Equator, and we called, “Land ho!” as we spotted the Galápagos Islands in the distance. We arrived in just under six days. Noj gets a special shout out for taking care of the final bottom scrub in cold confused seas (an immaculate hull is a requirement for the Galápagos, so as to avoid introducing invasive species). The approach to San Cristobal is outlined clearly on the charts and we anchored among the other sailboats and tour boats. The Galápagos sea lions discovered us shortly thereafter, There was some swell in the anchorage at Isla Isabella, and came to play daily but mainly the anchorages were very good. www.48North.com

during our stay. Wiggly excited, we awaited our agent to begin the checkin process. The rules and regulations for sailing in the Galápagos are many, and the consequences for breaking them severe. We worked with an agent to guide us through the process, and were pleased to glide through with no issues (save for a bag of chia seeds, which were confiscated with flair). Free to roam, we took a water taxi to shore. Our first stop was the island’s interpretive center. We learned about the history of the Galápagos islands, as well as the flora and fauna that have long intrigued scientists and naturalists. The next day we visited Loberia beach, where we found the first marine iguanas. My head nearly exploded, I was so excited! A lifetime dream realized, I observed them in their natural habitat on land, and snorkeled out into the sea with them to confirm the contents of many a grade-school report on the reptiles. Thankfully, Noj was right alongside me, his curiosity matching mine, as we explored San Cristobal. We trekked out to a tortoise sanctuary and learned about the supreme effort that is going into saving the various endemic species (they only exist here) of tortoises that inhabit 31

were treated to sharks, rays, sea turtles, and a variety of endemic fish. Eager to contribute in some scientific way, I counted sharks for the Galápagos Conservancy and reported after each dive throughout the islands. We motor-sailed from San Cristobal to Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz island, not for lack of breeze, but we needed to make water and our desalinator is motordriven. The approach to the bay is straightforward and well marked, and we anchored inside of a rocky reef near the main pier. A water taxi showed up immediately and offered to help set our stern anchor, which is standard because of the proximity of other boats and a bit of swell. This is the largest port in the Galápagos, and, as such, a hub of activity. We visited Underwater in wetsuits is one of the most romantic the Charles Darwin Research Center straight away. The center ways you could celebrate your anniversary! is dedicated to continued research the Galápagos. Their success in this and preservation of the Galápagos’ endeavor is impressive and admirable endemic flora and fauna. We returned in its scope. We enjoyed our first to Ardea to find a group of black tipped SCUBA adventure at Kicker Rock and sharks parading around the boat.

They remained for the duration of our stay there. We turned on the sealight and enjoyed the “shark show” every evening. Santa Cruz offers a plethora of adventures, and we availed ourselves of many of these, exploring, observing, and learning. Between lava tubes, sink holes, long treks out to gorgeous beaches, and tramping around tortoise country, I spent a lot of time hobblehiking and wobble-walking the volcanic landscape. (My poor broken foot did not get a lot of rest.) There are mangroves and little beaches along the the shore of the port, which gave us plenty of opportunity to supervise the activities of the marine iguanas. We did several amazing dive trips to surrounding islands. On our wedding anniversary, we dove at Gordon Rocks and found ourselves in the midst of thirty Hammerhead sharks. They are massive, and quite beautiful. With the Humboldt current running through the islands, the water is quite chilly (around 20° C as opposed to 30° C in Central America), and wetsuits are mandatory. I would be remiss if I failed to mention Chocolapagos, a ‘bean to turtle’ chocolate shop in town that

makes fine tortoise-shaped treats. This was one of our stops during what will surely be one of the best anniversaries ever to be celebrated. From Isla Santa Cruz we sailed to Isla Isabela in rough seas. The approach to Puerto Villamil, when the seas are anything but calm, is a bit daunting. I had the helm, as Noj was off shift taking a nap. While there are range markers and a charted approach, it looked too gnarly to go that far over in the bay, so I opted for a closer route, avoiding the reefs and crashing waves. There was definitely some sporty surfing on the way in, and we anchored behind the Tintoreros, a small group of islands that protect the harbor. We set a stern anchor here as well, due to the big swell. We explored the islets of Tintoreros the first day, and were treated to penguins, sharks, blue-footed boobies, baby sea lions, and of course, hundreds of marine iguanas. We later snorkeled the nearby Concha Perla, and met Nixon and Mario, a couple of local guys we hung out with who told us about interesting places to explore. We fully enjoyed the laid back pace at Isabela. Our favorite hangout was Casa Rosada, a beach bar with bean bags and hammocks, where we could laze about for a couple of hours and watch the marine iguanas return from the sea to lounge with us. A snorkel trip out to the Tunnels, walks through the mangrove estuary to see the flamingos and other cool birds, and a biking adventure along the coast rounded out the visit. The turtle breeding sanctuary here was impressive as well. It is amazing how many distinct species of tortoises we met on this journey! We reluctantly departed Isla Isabela for Isla Floreana, the southernmost island in the Galápagos. As we were leaving the anchorage we saw something odd in the water. It turned out to be the fins of a 4.5 meter tiger shark. With that bit of excitement, along with some glorious sunshine, we set out. The approach to Floreana is easy, and we anchored near the pier. Floreana is wonderful. There are fewer than 200 residents, and it is muy tranquilo. We were greeted by pink marine iguanas and wee baby sea lions. The port captain was super and gave us some special Floreana oranges

One of the striking animals found in the Galápagos, this tortoise is over 200 years old. as a welcome gift. Our first walkabout was really lovely, and profoundly quiet, save for the wildlife. We found great hikes and places to snorkel that didn’t require a guide, logged a few dives off of Ardea, and took a bus up to the highlands for a hike through a tortoise reserve, an incredible volcanic labyrinth, and some pirate caves. We were able to observe the marine iguanas foraging underwater, and confirmed why the species on Floreana is pink (it’s what they eat), as well as participated in some shark research being conducted by a visiting PhD student. The people that live here are kind and generous, as seems to be the way in very small communities. We were gifted with fruit many times, and even were given lobsters! This island quickly became our favorite. We did not see many other sailboats in the Galápagos. Despite this, we found that most of the people visiting the Galápagos were ‘our people.’ We met outdoorsy, curious, smart, environmentally conscious travelers in all of the areas we explored. We made some friends that we know we will see again, sort of like the cruisers we have met while voyaging. The core of our mission statement is about low-impact voyaging and respect for nature and we were well pleased to find the Galápagos in total alignment. There is a deep respect for the flora and fauna, not just with the Parque Nacional personnel, but with the all of the people who live here as well.

Northwest have we found a place so dedicated to separating, reusing, and recycling trash. We typically do beach cleanups everywhere we go, and were pleasantly surprised to find very little trash on the beaches. The Ecuadorian government’s efforts to preserve the unique ecosystem of the Galápagos greatly restrict private sailboats’ freedom to roam at will. We sailed to the four islands we were permitted to visit and were able to explore another three islands with guides. While we wish we could have sailed to all of the islands, we respect and appreciate the reasons we could not do so. The experience of sailing to and in the Galápagos Islands, and fulfilling a childhood dream, has been beyond incredible. Noj and I agree, we wouldn’t do anything differently. The Galápagos islands are truly marvelous, each magnificent in its own way, and ought to be on any cruiser’s bucket list. Not a day went by that we didn’t see a new endemic bird, fish, animal, or plant that we had never seen before. We enjoyed nice breeze and relatively calm anchorages, and even the bureaucratic interactions were pleasant. The opportunity to observe marine iguanas in their natural habitat was priceless, and well worth all of the navigational challenges, storms, and regulatory challenges. It was simply amazing! Noj & Michele are currently sailing a 2000nm passage to Rapa Nui, Chile, to check out the Moai on their way to New Zealand. Follow them at www.callalooblue.com 33

Galley Essentials with Amanda Sigmar delivering cod fish.

Upon leaving Jan Mayen last year, a slowmoving low pressure cell gave us great sailing for two days with 30 knot broad-reaching conditions. Excited about our landfall on Iceland’s east coast, we’d been busy studying the cruising guides and thankfully our arrival at Seydisfjordur was easy. We’d arrived during an annual festival that celebrates creativity, art, and culture. Several thousand colorful young festival goers were camping around the fjord, catching busses to the nearby concert and festival venues. The small village was a short hike to the head of the fjord and its quaint avenues are lined with lovely 19th-century wooden buildings that were imported from Norway as kits during the herring boom. Sitting most prominent at the end of the main street is the pretty Blue Church which also holds summer music concerts. The little supermarket was low on fresh provisions due to the festival but they were feverishly baking pastries and bread. Armed with hot bread, the ubiquitous kale and skyr (a dairy creation unique to Iceland), we returned to Mahina Tiare to create a tasty lunch. Along the way we took a diversion up the hillside to check out some dramatic waterfalls and scenery.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat ¼ cup olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and chili and stir 30 seconds until fragrant. Add kale and zest; cook 2 minutes. Add pasta and remaining ingredients. Toss to combine. Serves 4. We set sail south after lunch on what turned out to be a very rough upwind passage to Faskrudsfjordur. Our C-Map chart displayed a small marina, but on our approach, the depth got down to 0.5’ mid channel, so we gingerly backed out. Minutes later, a guy came sprinting down the dock and, after introducing himself as Sigmar, said we were welcome to moor at the new town pier in front of the old French fisherman’s hospital which is now a very nice hotel, museum, and restaurant. After taking our lines, Sigmar accepted our invitation to come aboard. Sigmar crews on the village rescue boat and he’d been watching our AIS signal even before we’d entered the bay. He was born in the village, has two kids, and drives forklifts in the

impressive cooperatively-owned fish processing plant that was directly off our bow. The operation employs over 200 people and owns three 180’ fishing boats that work locally and off Greenland catching cod and haddock, much of which is exported to Belgium, Poland, and the UK. The next morning, Sigmar gave us a large box of frozen cod and for dinner I made the following recipe. Cod with Oranges, Scallions, and Ginger 4 6oz cod fillets 1 cup chopped scallions, plus extra for garnish 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil 1 tablespoon minced ginger 1 orange - zest and juice 4 oranges - peeled and sliced salt and pepper Preheat oven to 450°F. Lay out 4 large sheets of parchment paper. Place one cod fillet on each sheet, season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, combine scallions, soy sauce, oil, ginger, zest and juice. Pour on top of cod fillets and top each fillet with 4 orange slices. Fold and crimp parchment paper into a packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake 12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes. Season to taste and garnish with scallions. We visited the French hospital museum; a tribute to 300 years of French sailors and fishermen working out of this village, and their loss of over 400 boats and 4,000 men. It brought home the reality of early life in Iceland. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the strict Danish-Icelandic trade monopoly was very detrimental to the economy. Climatic conditions had reached an all-time low and to add to Iceland’s subsequent poverty, Laki erupted, smothering the country in ash and fumes causing a period known as the “Mist Hardship.” Our next stop was Breiddalsvik a wide-open fjord with lots of light that offered a very different feel to the narrow, deep, and high-sided fjords we’d previously visited. The tiny town with a population of 140 has a charming general store built in the 1950s. I got to chatting with one of the staff who explained that as the land was

extremely harsh for crop cultivation, traditional Icelandic food consisted mainly of lamb and seafood that was either smoked, pickled, or dried to preserve it for the long winters. As to our lunch? She insisted they made the best lamb soup and rhubarb cake in Iceland. Kjotsupa - Icelandic Lamb Soup 1½ lbs. lamb shanks 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 shallots - diced 2 garlic clove - minced 2 sprigs thyme ⅓ cup white wine 2 carrots - cubed 1 rutabaga - cubed 3 potatoes - cubed ½ cup chopped parsley 6 cups water ½ teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil and cook lamb shanks 6 minutes, until well browned on all sides. Add shallots, garlic and thyme. Deglaze pan with wine, add water and salt; cover and simmer 1½ hours. Remove lamb and shred, discarding bones. Add

root vegetables and half the parsley, simmer 15 minutes. Return lamb and heat soup through. Season to taste. Serve garnished with parsley. Serves 4. Rhubarb Cake ¼ cup butter - melted ⅓ cup milk 2 eggs 1 cup sugar 1¼ cups all-purpose flour 1½ teaspoons baking powder 1 large stalk rhubarb, cut into ½-inch pieces Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine butter and milk. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. While continuing to stir, slowly pour in the melted butter. Mix in flour and baking powder. Pour batter into an 8-inch spring-form pan, scatter top evenly with rhubarb. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean; about an hour. Serve with whipped cream.

Ode to Autumn in the Salish Sea By Becca Guillote

It’s my favorite time of year in the Pacific Northwest. The days are getting shorter, but the weather is crisp and refreshing. The frenzy of summer is subsiding in the city, but the woods and seas are alive with winter preparations. This time last year, we were soaking up our last days in the PNW as we sailed around Vancouver Island (much too fast), taking advantage of mirror-like anchorages, hiking through old growth forests and overeating salmon at every opportunity. In our travels so far, I can say with confidence we have not discovered a place better suited for cruising than the PNW. While I can’t complain about the warm water and cheap tacos of Mexico, I miss the lush cliff sides and tangled kelp beds, the abundance offered by the sea and the navigational challenges offered by the tides. As I reflect on this past year, I am inspired to pay tribute to this incredible place, our sailing training grounds, our home. This place calls to us. It speaks to us as we drift along the shore and as we bash against the wind and driving 36

rain. We hear the summoning in the howl of the wolves and the caw of the ravens. The landscape breathes, whispers, shouts, sighs, and we listen well – we absorb all we can. The ancient towering conifers tell us stories of the humans that came before. That came 10,000 years before. The ones that stripped their bark for baskets and clothing, leaving deep perpetual scars. The ones that made weirs from sticks and stones to catch the fish flopping by in the millions. The ones that honor their ancestors with intricate grave markings, sacred islands and weeks-long celebrations. The current prattles tales of heartache as the pull of the moon drags a world’s worth of water between clifflined islands, wearing down even the most domineering rock faces. It tells tales of secretive rocks, soupy fog, and furious winds. It is an inexhaustible trainer, perpetually driving the water to run, tackle, spin, return and repeat. The rock faces, worn apart by the tide’s tales, guard inner sanctuaries, bays so protected no hurricane has September 2017

tines long enough to disturb them, and reveal the entrances only to those patient enough to duck and weave the tumultuous rapids and arrive on time. The fog settles in, like an old woman at the end of a long day, to whisper legends passed down through the decades. To listen you must be still, be calm. They are stories you want to hear; stories of life beginning, of ice receding, of earth trembling, of creatures surviving. The kelp dances in the swell, limbs swaying in the rhythm, blissful and vibrant, sharing the music that moves them. The creatures below – fish, turtles, seals, crabs – are grateful for the tangle of protection, embodying the harmony as they weave through their web in peace. The rain speaks the loudest, drowning out the kelp’s hum and the fog’s whispers, dominating the stage with dramatic shows of power and effusion. But nobody complains; with these outbursts she brings the lifeblood, the sweet nectar of fresh wholesome water to replenish streams,

sprout leaves, spread roots, hatch eggs, invent new shades of green. She is the foundation of this exceptional place, and she knows it. The waterfall at the back of an inlet calls us in to bear witness as a persuasive flame erupts and begins to consume the hillside. The wind assists and the flame leaps from tree to tree, never satiated. Humans intervene, different than the ones that encouraged the young flame, ones that fly in mighty machines. With the help of the waters of the lake, the flying humans quiet the voracious flame and the waterfall sighs in relief. We sail on, awed and humbled, and give thanks to the water that surrounds us. The dolphins are our guides, leading us through the waterways, encouraging our progress. They speak quickly, excited to share tales of adventure with those that follow them.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

Preventative Maintenance “This is going to hurt some,” Dr. Villa said, skillfully pushing a hypodermic needle into the side of my nose. Headed south to get away from hurricane highway, we were delayed in Ponce, Puerto Rico. This started with a minor engine issue that gave us time to see a dermatologist for annual skin check-ups. After five biopsies, two excised carcinomas, and one healed skin graft, we got the doctor’s all clear to move on. Liberal applications of sunscreen and covering up is a must, and yet, not enough. Boats are much the same. Wash and wax maintenance is necessary but short of complete care. We’ve learned (the hard way sometimes!) that gear we rely on may look and work normally. Then, unexpectedly, that which was taken for granted stopped spinning, developed too much friction, or let water into a place it shouldn’t be. We don’t take GPS for granted, so we have spares. We don’t take the engine for granted, but rather monitor temperature, pressure, and age counted in hours like a doting doctor. Meanwhile, an alternator that can spin over a million rotations in a busy weekend gets no attention. Beware, that intermittent alternator squeak is actually a rant about keeping “precious” batteries healthy without any thought to alternator spa day.

Bearings and brushes need care too! And some day, that alternator is going to stop putting out! Here are six categories that commonly cause grief, but don’t have to with regular, preventative care. Thread In this age of super strong adhesives and engineered materials, sewing seems antiquated. It’s still the best way to join fabrics. It’s amazing how strong sewing is, until it isn’t! Sunlight is kryptonite to most thread. Just two years of tropical sun exposure can reduce UV stabilized Polyester thread to easily broken fibers. Boats in higher latitudes get more time, but when the stitching goes, so does sail cover, dodger, or bimini protection. To test thread integrity, scrape it with a thumbnail. UV damage will show as frayed or broken threads. Catch failing thread before it gets bad and makes resewing a cover much easier. And, there is a cure for this kind of cancer. Tenara thread, made from Gore, does not suffer UV damage. It costs more but you won’t ever have to risk breaking a nail testing thread. Winches No machine on deck has the ability to be as powerful and sexy as a winch.

Toes whither on impact. Lines loaded by sails and gales get wound into control like a chihuahua on a leash. Yet, after a few years without a clean and lube, sharp clicks become muted protestations. When sheeting in the genoa leaves you feeling weaker, it’s because you are! Contaminated and oxidized winch grease is not slippery. Restoring those winch-works to slippery goodness will make you stronger in less time than any gym routine. Once you’ve lifted the drum to get those gears spinning, be certain to check that the component parts are in good order. We recently replaced three 35-year-old Barient winches due to wear and weakened bronze (shows as having a pinkish tint). Our new Andersen winches are not only stunning and powerful, but are easier to service thanks to clever engineering. Electric Windlass Much like a winch in form and function, but treated so much worse! Consider the saltwater spray, muddy chain, wet anchor locker and 100 amps of electricity powering a motor straining to pull a well-set anchor from the bottom. A windlass may get relatively little use, but it’s hard work in a harsh environment. Corrosion will impair electrical connections and degrade metals. Old grease and gearbox oil increases friction, forcing the motor to work harder. An annual windlass service will take less time and effort than manually retrieving the anchor you set so well. Hoses Of course, hoses don’t last forever, but some types may only be good for several years. Sanitation hose is designed to protect the outside world from a sensory event that few could recover from, should it fail. And yet, some sanitation hoses have a composition that gets rigid to the point of being brittle as it ages. Replacing it before a decontamination team is required will keep you boating with dignity intact. Engine hose issues, though common, can have tragic consequences

if they fail. Some engine hoses carry exhaust gases including lethal carbon monoxide. Inspect hoses and other exhaust components regularly. Replace engine hoses if they show any signs of cracking, bulging, abnormal deformation. A carbon monoxide detector is a must-have safety item. Motors and Alternators On Totem, our assortment of motors includes engine start, windlass, autopilot drive, watermaker feed pump, bilge pumps, freshwater pump, toilet and holding tank pumps, fuel transfer pump, refrigeration compressor pump, power tools, and fans. Some of these motors are not repairable, such as the fans. We carry spares. Most of the other motors would be inconvenient to be without, so we carry spares. Somewhere between a motor working and motor failure (never at a convenient time or place) is preventative maintenance. Along with the alternator that’s still begging for new bearings, consider getting motors serviced. This makes them more reliable and may allow you get away with fewer spares.

Corrosion Wikipedia has a nice definition for corrosion: “It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metal) by chemical reaction with their environment.” If you own a boat, it’s a good idea to brush up on the different ways corrosion happens. Salt, moisture, a lack of oxygen, and dissimilar metals in contact are the primary culprits. Corrosion is largely preventable. Be certain sacrificial anodes (zincs) are in place and are more than 50% intact – or replace. Isolate dissimilar metals where possible, such as stainless steel or bronze fittings on mast and boom, with physical or chemical barrier. Where not possible, there is usually some product that helps to reduce exposure to elements that cause corrosion. Corrosion is the bane of boating gear. It damages metal so it’s structurally weaker; and is often the gremlin of electrical systems. These six categories represent common problems cruisers experience. It’s worth mentioning that some maintenance efforts can cause problems. For example, using some

A no-skin-off-my-nose attitude to boat maintenance will get expensive and be inconvenient, or worse. Our stop in Puerto Rico literally took the skin off my nose, but was necessary maintenance to ensure long-term use.

Sail to Craft Breweries! We know we’re going out on a limb here, but we’ve noticed that sailors like beer. The seemingly never-ending proliferation of local breweries in our area got the beer-loving and sail-crazy team here at 48° North wondering if we could plan some short cruising trips around sailing to great craft breweries. The answer is yes, you can sail to breweries, and you should, and you can forecast a fabulous experience of cruising and beer.

Central/North Sound Brewery Cruise Itinerary • Night One: Edmonds to try American Brewing • Night Two: Langley to sample Double Bluff Brewing • Night Three: Port Townsend for tasting at Propolis Brewing

American Brewing Edmonds, WA

Hunderrated

idden in a back alley in the cruising stopover of Edmonds, WA, is the taproom for American Brewing. The unpretentious vibe is offset by the unmistakably solid beer. American distributes in cans in most grocery stores, so there’s a good chance you’ve had their Breakaway IPA, or one of their other “core four beers” including the American Blonde 40

Ale, The Caboose Oatmeal Stout, and the Flying Monkey Pale Ale. Despite the fact that you could stock your ice box with cans of beer from American, the brewery is well worth your trip for a variety of reasons; among them is the simple fact that American Brewing might offer the best deal for filling a growler anywhere in the central Sound. They deliver that service, with their excellent beer no less, for an incredible $9 for 64 oz! Edmonds is also a beautiful first stop on long weekend cruise. I love to start cruises with a short hop, in part because I’m always running late, but also because short cruising days are better for off-peak season trips. If you’re leaving from Seattle, the trip to Edmonds is a gentle way to start - the eight-to-twelve mile jaunt is no trouble on a late summer’s eve. There’s not oodles of guest moorage, 500 feet of dedicated space, but they also open unoccupied slips and I’ve never been turned away. It’s a short walk from the marina to American, but you do have to negotiate the train track, and the taproom itself a little tricky to find. Walk north out of the marina complex and past Arnie’s restaurant to cross the railroad track on Dayton. Immediately after you’re across, duck into the parking lot on the south side of the street toward Gallagher’s. I admit, once I got here, I worried I was only at a production facility, but a little more looking led me around the west side of the building to the entrance. September 2017

I strolled into the sizable taproom (late, as usual) and was greeted by a friendly American staff member named Anna. She graciously answered my questions and set me up with a taster of one of each of their proprietary beers. I learned that American Brewing has been around for six years, always in this facility. They’re a 30 barrel operation (that’s big!) and they have eleven taps, five of which were American beers (the four core beers plus a seasonal). It was around this time that I also began to learn a little about the somewhat complicated ownership history of the brewery. They have a huge brewing operation and only five of their own beers on tap... Why? “Because we’re not selfish,” Anna responded coyly. She went on more earnestly to explain that the brewery enjoyed immense initial success for the original owners, motivating them to go public, and the success continued. Eventually, the founders were drawn in other directions (kombucha, if you’re wondering), and they were no longer able keep up with the growth at their brewery. They sold the company off the public market to some of the primary investors who also own Pacific Brewing and Malting Co. in Tacoma. So, American’s eleven taps are shared between American and their sister brewery, Pacific, as well as one cider. As far as I’m concerned, however, none of this should deter you. The beer is still top notch, from both breweries. It was fairly quiet on the night I was there, but things definitely get hopping at the American taproom, though Anna clarified, “It’s still not super crazy on busy nights.” They have “Food Truck Fridays” and it is usually standing room only. American does serve some of its own food (primarily pizza, which

Citra and Amarillo hops bring citrus and grapefruit to the party, while the light malt backbone and little bitterness keep it balanced. (6.0% ABV, 80 IBU) - Beer Enthusiast and Writer, Lynn Sherk I tried and liked), but you’re welcome to bring outside food in as well. With a full tasting flight in front of me, I dug into the good stuff. My first tastes were of a mellow and pleasantly dry Blonde Ale. I found this very drinkable, with nice flavor, and none of what I think of as “cheap light beer taste.” In each of our brewery stops, I like to identify a beer that would be a good choice if you decide to have a beer underway. At only 4.5% ABV, the rereshing Blonde was the clear winner in this category. Moving to the bolder flavored beers, I found the Flying Monkey Pale to be nicely hopped though quite malty for my preference. Then it was on to the highlight of my ex-BEER-ience at

American: the Revolutionary IPA. For me, it nailed the right balance of the lively bitter hop punch I want from an IPA, and the floral and citrusy hops that I associate with a great summer beer. While the Breakaway IPA is American’s flagship, and interestingly was their very first beer, the Revolutionary IPA hit the spot for this thirsty sailor. Anna offered me a quick tour of their impressive brewing facility. In addition to the massive stainless equipment, I noted that they were doing some barrel aging. They have some stout aging in whiskey barrels and saison in red wine barrels. Frankly, I was heartened to learn that even as the business focuses (understandably) on the massive wholesale distribution program, that they’re still playing around with some specialty and experimental beers like these. The last beer I tried was American’s delicious Caboose Oatmeal Stout. Perhaps it’s the chill in the late August air, but man, that dark beer tasted really good to me. The mocha-breadiness was a great way to cap the tasting experience at this fun local joint. I asked Anna whether she knew

American’s impressive brewing operation; barrels everywhere, large and small! any sailors that come in. She replied enthusiastically in the affirmative. “Oh, a lot of people who own boats come in. Many are regulars - it’s a local spot. They come in for a beer or to fill a growler after a sail or after doing maintenance on their boats.” You may bring your dog into the taproom with you; but parents, please leave your kids at home. And pirates, please leave your parrots at home, too. American has a no-parrot policy! Unless you’re a minor or a parrot, kick off this brewery cruise in Edmonds and get a tasty beer at American Brewing. Sail on happier!

Sail to Craft Breweries! always seems to be a little lighter in Saratoga Passage than many areas nearby. Our trip was no exception. Langley is a popular destination, and the marina can get crowded, so be ready to raft up. But, once you get your spot, it’s only a seven-minute walk to Double Bluff. Note, it is up quite a significant hill... Daniel and Marissa Thomis are the proud owners of this lovely nook of a brewery, which has a small tasting room and a welcoming outdoor seating area with a firepit. They were quick to identify themselves as many things: sailors, transplants, career changers, and keen members of the strong Langley community. Daniel first mentioned sailing, although both he and Double Bluff Brewing Marissa practically glazed over dreamily when they spoke about it. They owned a Langley, WA Catalina 27 for ten years, which they sailed out of Marblehead, s happens in life and cruising, MA, when they called Boston home. sometimes a person just needs They had busy careers (different a beer.

over Whidbey Island. “We just love to be a part of this community,” Marissa said. Marissa refers to Daniel as the “Master of Beer” at Double Bluff, though you might even call him the mad scientist. The Swiss-born former biochemist takes a highly experimental approach to brewing. “I like to be contrarian,” Daniel says. I wouldn’t call any of it truly crazy, but there were some surprises once we started tasting, most of them wonderful. The first of these was the second beer we tried, a Belgain-style beer with Bergemot Orange called the Happy Monk. If you’re not familiar with Bergamot (I wasn’t), it’s a green citrus fruit that has a flavor similar to an orange, perhaps best known for its use in Earl Grey tea. Daniel said he grew up drinking Bergemot soda in Switzerland, and one day the idea to include it in the beer came out of thin air. The result was eye opening, and fabulous. The Bergemot essence in the Happy Monk was slightly bitter - more like zest than fruit - and a beautiful compliment to the Belgian-style’s natural sweetness. This creativity and out-of-the-box thinking wasn’t always a part of Daniel’s relationship with brewing. He had been a homebrewer for over eighteen years. Yet in those years, he brewed mostly by following recipes, and exclusively using malt extracts (as opposed to the more professional allgrain brewing process using a mash tun) until just before the brewery opened. He had made some great beer, but little of it used the process he was about to follow, and he had no history coming up with his own recipes. As Daniel described his brewing philosophy to me, which was centered around the notion that experimentation is good and that left-field ideas are to be fostered, I was struck by how similar it sounded to me to the way the people talk about truly great sailors. I’ve often heard, and now personally reiterate, that the best sailors are always open to

(3.9% ABV 25 IBU) -Beer Enthusiast and Writer, Lynn Sherk a crazy idea; that the my-way-is-theonly-way skipper has a ceiling to his or her skills. Taking it a step further, those great, open-minded sailors are also more fun to sail with, because they aren’t consumed by bending a crew to their rigid process and will. Well, Daniel seemed like a really fun guy to brew with, and you never know what genius might come of it. Sometimes, Daniel’s free-thinking additions are out of necessity. Both he and Marissa are very excited to collaborate with other Whidbey operations. Their sours used local berries, for example. In another case, Daniel detailed, with genuine delicate kindness, that he has a friend who

is growing local hops that have nontraditional flavor. He really wanted to take advantage of the local hop farmer, but... these hops... what to do with them? His solution produced another beer we tasted and enjoyed. He used rye instead of the classic ale grains. Rye is known to have a much more dominant flavor, and these unique Whidbey hop strains fit nicely with (dare we say under) that big rye character. The product was a winner. Some of Daniel’s other experiments were not available for us to try, but sound intriguing nonetheless, and apparently received rave reviews. They range from a Belgian Trippel with local coffee, to a winter warmer with lavender, to his take on a German style of beer known as “Altbier.” I believe you’ll love Daniel’s beers, but however you feel about the beer he brews, I can’t imagine anyone that wouldn’t be swept up in his infectious passion for it. Of all the breweries we’ve visited for these articles, we haven’t met anyone nearly as openly gaga for brewing creativity as Daniel. Double Bluff is both down-toearth and decidedly classy. Apparel

was varied among the patrons, but the place just had a nice feel to it. If you’re the swank yachty type or the dirtbag cruiser, you won’t feel out of place at Double Bluff, or most anywhere in Langley for that matter. Langley is a gem, but that’s not really news. Double Bluff Brewing is already an integral part of the town, woven into the tapestry of the alluring cruising hamlet. The beer is worth a trip of its own. The fact that you’ll sail there, tie up in a perfectly quaint marina, and enjoy all the other wonders of Langley too - that’s just a bonus. -48° North

Sail to Craft Breweries!

Propolis Brewing Port Townsend, WA

eautiful Port Townsend has long been a mecca for boat lovers. I’d venture that you’ve been there, probably by boat. You may be going back this month for the fabulous Wooden Boat Festival. There’s a lot to like about Port Townsend, and Propolis Brewing’s elegant taproom must be added to the list. Propolis Brewing has actually been in business for five years, and they’ve been garnering praise from the beer intelligencia for nearly all of that time. They boast two Gold Medals from the Great American Beer Festival (by all accounts, the most important beer award in the US) in their jampacked trophy case. The beer they make, and the way they make it is unique compared to your average craft brewery, certainly unique among the breweries we’ve visited for this article series. Propolis specializes in a style of beer called “saison” that falls uder the categorical umbrella of Belgian Farmhouse Ales. Half of the owner/operator pair, 44

Robert Horner clarified, “saison is more of a philosophy than a style, and we only called it a saison because its the closest style to what we make.” At this point, his partner in life and the brewery, Piper Corbett (who happens to be yacht rigger Brion Toss’s stepdaughter), chimed in enthusiastically, “We don’t make a saison so much as we make a Propolis!” Saison is the french word for “season” and this is reflected in the philosophy. Saisons should be beers with a sense of place, and the ingredients that go into each beer are local and seasonal, and in the case of Propolis, often foraged. Before we dive too deep into the beer, though, let’s get you there first. When coming to Propolis by boat, you must have strong willpower to sail past beautiful Point Hudson Marina on your way into Port Townsend Bay, before tying up in Boat Haven Marina. Point Hudson is generally the more popular cruising destination between the two marinas in Port Townsend, but Boat Haven is neither much further nor September 2017

a significant downgrade - it has lots of services you’d hope for from a cruising stop (fuel dock, pumpout, wifi). As an added advantage, if you sail into the bay on the piping northwesterly that we did, sailing into Boat Haven gives you a little more time out of the waves and the big breeze to gather yourself and organize the boat after an exciting sail. While many of the attractions for visitors to Port Townsend are closer to Point Hudson, at Boat Haven, you’re near to Port Townsend’s fabulous co-op, the infamous Pourhouse, the local West Marine, and... you guessed it, Propolis Brewing. Once you’re safely tied up in your slip in Boat Haven, you could almost throw a stone and hit the taproom. From the northeast corner of the marina (the one closest to downtown), just walk around the back of the West Marine and you’ll find the lovely yellow building. It should almost come as no surprise, given its location, that the brewing facility used to be a boat building shop. It had been repurposed several other times before Piper and Robert redesigned and renovated the space into its present, splendid utility. The high ceilings, gorgeous tables, and antique accents make for a comfortable, inviting ambiance; and the giant wine barrels and even-more-massive cognac barrel, which are used for aging, create a one-of-a-kind false wall between the taproom and the brewing operation. Barrel aging has been a popular process in high-end craft beer for a long time, usually to impart a particular flavor, and as Robert put it, “Barrel aging is the root of Farmhouse beers.” For Propolis, the possibilities are even broader because they make so many of their beers using a fermentation process involving a yeast called Brettanomyces,creating what is known in beer circles as “Brett Beer.” Brett fermentation is a far longer process than traditional ale yeast, and delivers two primary benefits: the beer can have more time to pick up delicious flavors from the barrel, and the Brettanomyces do a better job eating up the sugars

(7.5% ABV) -Beer Enthusiast and Writer, Lynn Sherk that naturally occur in the beer. The outcome is a beer that can be both fruity and unexpectedly dry. This is Propolis Brewing’s specialty. Brett fermentation and barrel aging of saison beers is a very traditional brewing process of Farmhouse beers, especially in Belgium, and this is where Piper and Robert’s love for this beer came from. Piper’s first experiences with beer came when she was an exchange student in Belgium. The town where she lived had a great culture of brewing fruit beer, in this case a style called Lambic, using the local cherries. Piper was enthralled with the idea and its tasty product, and immediately began to think about how she could make beer that would be local to her

home of Port Townsend. Robert’s path to Saison came through the better known Belgian beer styles. He fell in love with them while he was a poor college student, and it was far cheaper to learn to brew them at home than to pay top dollar for fancy, imported beers. Robert notes that he was born in England, and that this contributed to his interest in European-style beers. The Propolis tasting experience, was in many ways, different from any I’ve had. We tasted all eleven beers they had on tap, and never strayed far from the saison style. Some were lighter, some darker, but each was distinctly different, and there wasn’t an IPA to be found. We tasted from delicate stemmed glasses that allow the nuanced aromas to come through fully. Piper guided us through the tasting, one by one, with care and quiet mindfulness. Her pre-brewery careers involved high-end food and wine and also botanicals. Each came through in her descriptions. She personally foraged many of the ingredients added to the beers, and had details about them that went beyond my comprehension: “The stinging nettle is a liver cleanser

For the various wild berries Piper forages, she keeps the seeds so that they may be replanted in restoration areas. She put it simply, “nothing is wasted.” This is locavore brewing at its best. The taste was unmistakably beer, but closer to wine than I was ready for. Most of the Propolis beers are highly effervescent, and lend themselves to bringing out the essence of their component parts. Some were sour. Others just delicate. All were a new and wonderful version of a libation I love. Propolis showcases a new take on the traditional, something that is very much in line with the maritime culture of Port Townsend. This is, after all, beer with a sense of place.

Some of the bigger teams like Orcas By Andrew Nelson and Bainbridge travel with multiple squads, sending a varsity boat, JV boat, and several alternates that can be subbed in and out depending on wind conditions. Most high school regattas take place in double-handed boats, so it’s up to the coach to find pairs that sail well together. One pair (A-fleet) will go out and race two races, then they’ll come trade out with the next pair (B-fleet). The scores of A-fleet and B-fleet are added together when scoring the regattas, so it truly is a team effort. Photo courtesy of Burke Thomas. Races are short and fast paced.

As Owen gets more familiar with the high school format and sailing with a consistent crew, he’ll be a real threat. The Bears are a deep enough team that they will likely have a very good shot at winning team race qualifiers this spring.

Top Contenders Charles Wright Academy (Tacoma) Coach: Peter Rummel Home Facility: West Shore Marina (Gig Harbor) The CWA team is only three years old, but already it has a district championship under its belt. The team returns intact to defend its fleet racing title. CWA will be led by senior skipper Alyosha Strum-Palerm, who dominated A-fleet last spring. He and crew Nick Lee had a few almost “picket fence” regattas, which were only spoiled by the occasional near-top finish. This group is battle hardened and tested after surviving an intense fight for first at district championships, and then sailing against the best in the country at nationals in Boston. I’m not sure of the last time a team repeated as district champions, since modern scoring records don’t go back that far! The big change for this team is that they will have a new coach this season, as their previous coach, Ashley Nelson, will be on maternity leave.

As sophomores last year, skippers Cedric Keneipp and Lera Anders both showed real moments of brilliance. Their wild card factor will be consistency.

Expect senior Olivia Mitchell to anchor the Spartan’s A-fleet again this year with plenty of top five finishes. The wild card factor here is the B-fleet, which is yet to be determined. However, there’s a good chance another female skipper will be helming opposite Olivia.

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

They’re back! After their summer making babies on the wet tundra lands of coastal Alaska and Canada, I spotted a group of black turnstones on the dark rocks of our marina breakwater. Perfectly camouflaged against the Mats Mats quarry rock, I didn’t see any of them until one moved. Then, I realized there were more, many more; possibly one hundred little birds all quietly chattering away about something important. It’s smart coloration. Being black with white stomachs makes it difficult for a hawk to spot a small dark bird from above, or a white bird from below while flying. Orange-brown legs are about all the color they get. Once you see the group, watch them slowly move over rocks and beach drift as they forage by prying off prey

with their strong bills – ‘turnstone’ means just that. This winter, these birds will forage throughout the Salish Sea and rocky shores of the outer coast until spring when they once again head north to the wilderness to make another family. Turnstones return to the same nest and pair with the same mate year after year for as long as they can. Both parents share nesting duties, but the female leaves after her eggs hatch while the male cares for the kids until they’re independent. This means “the wife” somehow finds her man again in a population of about 80,000 turnstones scattered across many thousands of miles! And here in the northwest, I can’t see them when they’re right below my feet at the marina jetty!

n keeping with the much loved tradition of “Back to School,” my assignment is to report on maritime education programs in the Puget Sound region. You may not think you have an interest in reading about public education, but stick with me! I think you might be interested in this. As a teacher and an avid sailor, my heart is certainly there, and I know a fair amount about education and boating. However, real information and insight about programs that combine the two is a bit elusive. Honestly, public schools are just starting to truly embrace alternative paths to education. While teachers want the best for our students, it isn’t easy to know what that best thing might be. You never want to sell a student short of their infinite capacity. Political commentary aside, anyone can become president! Or an astronaut! But, there can be great pride, a good living, and increasingly high demand fork skilled workers in the marine trades, whether you drive the pump out boat or a ferry, or fix diesel engines, marine electronics. My town of Anacortes is a maritime community, and there are many others around the Puget Sound. We need a skilled workforce in welding, boat building and repair, rigging and engine maintenance, sailmaking and canvas work, just off the top of my head. Ballard and Port Townsend have similar cultures and needs. All three towns have programs for students to pursue Marine Technology through the public school systems. They are a bit different, but reflect the same values and overall mission.

The public school system in the US is an anomaly in the world. We stand alone in actually requiring students to attend school, and offering it free of charge until students are 18, and in some cases until 21. Our system can hardly be faulted as you look at what is offered around the world, however, there is still room for improvement. In the standard high school curriculum in Anacortes, you are offered the scintillating subjects of general Biology and Chemistry in Science, and general Algebra, Geometry and Calculus in Math. While many students embrace a love of learning for the sake of gaining more knowledge and endeavor to take a straight path to a University and professional career, there is a growing need for other options. Schools are starting to adopt standards-based learning, where it’s more about how you can prove your Port Townsend’s simulator teaches navigation and more. skills and knowledge Photo courtesy of NW Maritime Center. www.48North.com

of a concept rather than recalling information at the right testable moment. The maritime education programs around the Pacific Northwest are a good example of this philosophy of demonstrated skills, and are well positioned to help serve many of Puget Sound’s maritime communities. I can hardly imagine a scenario in which the average high school graduate will be using general high school Calculus in their daily life, but finding creative and practical ways to apply the knowledge helps make a connection. For example, designing a sail utilizes the properties of Calculus and Geometry. This applied engagement can lock in the concepts, and is a step toward a skilled workforce. Another manifestation of this principle are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs that have been created, often in a partnership between schools and private companies and nonprofit groups. Sometimes Art is added to the mix, creating STEAM. You may have noticed promotion of STEM summer camps and excursions. Girls are heavily recruited and encouraged to participate in these programs because there is a glaring lack of females in 49

many of you, I support the idea, but I have been teaching in the public schools for longer than I really want to admit in print and I still feel a bit lost about the real experiences in programs that combine my two favorite subjects.

importance of a high school diploma and the eventual fun of going to college. Take my word for it, kids! College is fun! Never stop learning, and never stop having fun. Then, the Marine Technology Program entered the conversation. While I have a feeling that I’m going to learn a lot more about this program as the mother of an enrolled student, here’s what I know for sure: The core belief is that we need quality dockside services; qualified people selling, building, repairing, and inspecting boats; and trained deckhands. The Anacortes program has a mission to promote skills in seamanship, marine system components, basic marine components, engine and propulsion systems, structural maintenance, electronics, and navigation. Students spend two-and-a-half hours per day in these maritime classes, five days per week, for the entire school year. Math and Science are applied to specific maritime skills and students earn credit toward graduation (a full year’s credit in Math and Science, and a half year in Occupational study). And what they’re doing is awesome: building boats, learning navigation, getting practice installing marine electronics, and so much more. The program in Anacortes draws high school juniors and seniors from around the region and includes Bellingham, Burlington, Concrete, Mount Vernon, La Conner, and Sedro Woolley. There is also a program from the Skagit Valley College that uses the same facility. The Ballard High School Maritime Academy is a similar program and started long before its cousin to the north. Norm Manley of Foss Tugs started the program in 1988. He was noticing that their “people” at Foss were getting old. It’s hard work, and you are required to be out on the water and away from your family for days on end. People were ready to retire and there was nobody to pick up the slack. They started a school within the parameters of Ballard High School, and the first class was a group of freshmen. Kids stay in the program throughout high school, until they graduate as seniors. With 25-35 kids in the program, the group becomes very close. The curriculum is less about text books and more about learning a trade

hands-on. One of Ballard Maritime’s longtime instructors, John Foster, said, “Ballard Maritime Academy is about showing students what’s out there. The goal is to give them some actual skills and a lot of exposure.” Students have opportunities to spend time on tugs, fireboats, and even the Virginia V. I spoke with Charles See, who taught at the school for 15 years and was the President of Ballard Maritime Academy for two years. He shared that many of the students have gone on to maritime career paths and some have continued to Cal Maritime Academy, the Naval Academy, and have become captains of oil tankers. Still others have gotten excellent jobs closer to home and are able to buy homes and provide for their families while working in a field they care about. In contrast to the first two programs where the maritime education is a niche enjoyed by interested students, Port Townsend School District went all the way! With a great deal of time, effort and financial support, they have woven the town’s maritime heritage into the vision of the curriculum for all students. The district has a maritime theme that the school board adopted as the strategic direction of the entire district. In the words of Northwest Maritme Center (NWMC) Executive Director and R2AK Founder, Jake Beattie, “It’s as obvious as it is revolutionary, a place-based theory.” If your community is based around a marine heritage, it just makes sense that children should be raised and educated with a maritime perspective. NWMC jas been instrumental in facilitating this change, working with the district at key times when there was regime-change and leadership that was open to the concept. The Wooden Boat Foundation has been a mechanism for change, providing extensive funding as well as professional development to positively impact teaching and learning. Kids in Port Townsend get exposed to maritime culture and ideas in every class at every age, in some way. “It’s not necessarily for a maritime outcome,” says Beattie. “It’s not like they want every child to be a tug boat captain or something.” He described it as a “Blue Thread” that weaves an ocean theme through all aspects of instruction. Additionally, every 7th grade student

in the district participates in a two week program at the Maritime Center. During this program, all learning directly relates to maritime themes. Math classes might have chart work or other dynamic oceanic concepts. In Physical Education, students might row and sail longboats. In History, students study the history of local mariners such as Peter Puget. It is an intensive program, but it’s also fun. Older students have opportunities for more specific maritime instruction similar to the programs in Anacortes and Ballard. All three secondary programs follow a “regional academy” model, where any student in the area may enroll, provided they have the time and transportation It may not be good smelling, but to attend.

o T - Get The Most From Your

Storm Sails By Alex and Jack Wilken

When the weather is sunny and mild, it’s probably not the time many of us think about our storm sails. However, when we don’t need them is precisely when they need our attention. This way, they will work well when we do need them. Let us go over what storm sails need to do, how to set them up, and how to make sure we can use them as effectively as possible. Puget Sound is well enough protected that we rarely need storm sails. Occasionally, the wind will be very heavy. Most sailors understandably decide to stay at the dock, since breeze above 40 knots begins to push even a triple-reefed mainsail or handkerchief of a roller-reefed jib beyond their limits. Heavy air can offer an opportunity to test your storm sails, and get in some invigorating sailing, but, it shouldn’t be your first time putting them up! The two primary storm sails are storm jibs and storm trysails. Mizzen sails can also be used as storm sails on ketches and yawls, but we won’t be

Figure 1: All the corners (A, B and C - head, tack, and clew, respectively) are heavily reinforced. The Foot (D) and Leech (F) are scooped out to reduce fluttering. 52

discussing mizzen sails in this article. Storm sails need to be able to take real punishment, so they are made of far heavier material than other sails. They have a scooped-out, concave leech and foot to reduce fluttering (Figure 1). For real storm sails, it is not enough to take a larger sail and make it smaller by rolling it up, reefing it down, or even cutting it down and reinforcing the corners. Roller reefing is particularly inadequate, as it produces too much belly in the sail shape, which increases heeling. There are those who argue for putting a 4th reef in the main instead of using a storm trysail. Mainsails are not only made of lighter material, but typically have roaches that will flutter and get flogged to shreds in 40+ knots. Storm sails should also be highly visible and are now typically made of international orange colored material. Unlike the mainsail and genoa, storm sails are only a fraction of your total hoist. Thus, they are easier to fit to your boat. They must be big enough to generate the power to keep the boat moving and controllable. A sailmaker can help you figure out what size and fabric weight you need, and can make necessary modifications. Attachment and sheeting points are the biggest concerns after size and fabric weight. Storm jibs: In the old days, all headsails were hank on, so the only way to reduce sail was to take down the larger sail and hank on a smaller one. Now, most boats have roller furling headsails. Typically, if the wind comes up while carrying a genoa, we simply furl it partially. Unfortunately, this setup can leave us with a sail that’s too powerful for the wind state tightly wrapped around the headstay; and, on a sloop, no stay to hank on a smaller sail. Out at sea, if you furl up the headsail and the wind comes up, you may not be able to unfurl it and get it down safely to swap to a smaller sail. Even on one of our trips in the San September 2017

www.48North.com

Juans, the breeze came up to 35 knots after starting flat calm. We needed to get to Friday Harbor by day’s end, and our genoa was old and tired. We were able to tuck into the lee of Burrows Island to get the genoa down and raise a jib, but it was a close call. There are some storm sail systems that are designed to go around a furled headsail, but the best solution is a forestay that you can hank a storm sail onto, which helps explain the popularity of the cutter rig for ocean sailing. The storm jib should have a pennant at the bottom to raise it up above the deck to not block visibility (Fig. 2). Storm Trysails: The storm trysail is a very versatile sail. It can be argued that if conditions are bad enough to demand a third reef in your mainsail, it’s better to set a trysail. They are great for close reaching, producing lots of forward drive with very little heeling. On sloop-rigged boats, you should be careful not to sheet them in too hard because you may be pulling against an unsupported part of the mast. An inner forestay eliminates this problem. Getting a mainsail off its track and stowing it is difficult enough under the best circumstances; in a 45 knot wind on a heaving sea, forget it. The storm trysail needs its own dedicated track mounted to the mast next to the mainsail track. The track need not go much higher than the head of the trysail when hoisted, but it can go all the way down to the deck. The trysail

Figure 2: ‘A’ is the storm jib, ‘B’ is storm trysail. ‘C’ is the pennant to raise the jib for unobstructed view. Note that the trysail sheets to aft quarter, not the boom (D).

can be hoisted with the main halyard. Though some trysails are designed to sheet to the boom, most trysails sheet the clew back to the aft quarter (Figure 2) so that the boom can be secured. One way of making sure your trysail is ready when you need it is to mount it on its track and store it in a bag on deck (Figure 3). The disadvantages are that it takes up deck space and is more exposed to the elements, but these may be worth avoiding the hassle of digging it out of the bottom of the sail locker to find it all moldy when you need it. We recommend keeping it stowed below in a dry location and only mounting it on deck if there is a chance you will need it. Simply having the right equipment is not enough. For it to work properly and smoothly we must practice using it. This is even more true of storm sails. We all know that even the simplest problem, like a frozen shackle or a badly setup fairlead, can take 15 minutes (or 2 hours) to fix. In 40 knots, those 15 minutes can increase exponentially and be terrifying. The nature of how storm sails are attached requires at least one person

AM TC

to go forward to set them. Under the conditions that require storm sails, this should not even be attempted without tethers and jacklines. To ensure that the sail will work as it should and can be set safely and quickly, practice setting them in calmer weather - first at the dock, but then at sea in ever increasing wind conditions. It does not matter if the wind condition does not warrant storm sails; set them anyway. Then strike them and set appropriate sails. Puget Sound is a good training ground to practice with storm sails, because if you really got in trouble, you can usually find a place to hide. Many of us dream of heading out the Straits of Juan de Fuca and turning left. Between there and San Francisco there are few harbors, essentially none of which are safe to enter in bad weather. For many sailors, this is their hardest passage, perhaps because of its stark contrast to the Puget Sound. The biggest offshore hurdle is often overcoming the fear that goes along with it. A good, reliable storm sail helps sailors take a big step in that direction. Storm sails are an insurance policy. You may never need the heavy orange

ASK THE SURVEYOR by Tom Averna Hello Tom,

I’m looking at purchasing a Cal 40. The boat’s been sadly neglected but I’m willing to take it on unless a surveyor reveals some serious problems. There hasn’t been very much maintenance done on the boat in quite a while. The mast hasn’t been down for longer than the current owner has had the boat, over ten years. What are some of the problems I might expect with the mast and boom? Sean Cutler Seattle, WA Good question, Sean. The lower portion of the mast can be inspected easily from deck level. That inspection in itself can reveal some obvious problems you might not want to deal with. Make sure you remove the sail cover to get a look at the halyard winches, gooseneck fitting, cleats as well as the mast track. I usually give the mast fittings a gentle tap and look for any movement indicating loose fastenings or rivets. If the fittings or fastenings are stainless steel and in direct contact with the aluminum mast, the potential problem of corrosion between the stainless and the less noble aluminum mast could rear its ugly head. Also, look for areas on the mast that appear powdery, especially around a fastening or cleat. That is a sign of corrosion. I suggest bringing a pair of binoculars with you to get a look at the masthead and its attached components. It won’t be the same as either going up

or dropping the mast, but it’s at least a way to see if there are any serious problems that need attention and money to repair. Really, the best way to inspect is with the mast down, so that is my recommendation, if it’s possible. With the mast down and on saw horses, start at the top of the mast and work your way down. Inspect all of the shrouds, fittings, the tangs, the backstay, headstays, and anything else attached to the mast. Look carefully on the mast for any cracking at a weld or from stress. Check for worn shackles, clevis pins, chafing halyards, cracked halyard blocks or any bends on the masthead fitting itself. While you’re at it, make sure you inspect any antennas, lights and instrument components at the masthead. It’s also a good time to replace any burnt out bulbs for the lights. Next on the inspection list are the halyard blocks or sheaves. Inspect the sheaves for any cracks or misalignment

that might cause the halyard to jump off the sheave and jam. That is not a very pleasant experience. A cracked or an uneven sheave inside a block can also cause chafe on the halyard and cause premature wear. Inspect down along the mast looking at sail tracks, tangs, shroud end fittings, toggles, etc. Any fastenings such as screws, bolts or rivets should be examined for any elongation, wear or bending, as well as corrosion. Grab hold of the fittings and shake them as best you can to detect any loose fittings or fastenings. Next are the spreaders and their associated fittings. Spreaders do take a lot of abuse. Look at the spreader bracket connection on the mast for any cracks, loose fastenings or corrosion. I’ve seen hairline stress cracks at welds, as well as elongated fastening holes on the brackets from movement and vibration. Any welded fittings on the mast deserve close

Note the crack on the tang for the headstay. I wouldn't have seen this if the mast was up and in place.

inspection with a magnifying glass. If the spreader tips are covered with boots or baggywringles for sail chafe protection, inspect beneath them. Look at the shroud/spreader connection for wear, cracks, etc. If the spreaders are wood, as some are on older boats, inspect for any soft wood. While you’re inspecting the fittings on the mast, look at the mast itself for corrosion, any dents and/or any fatigue around stress areas. If there is a mast splice, you might want to ask why. Was the mast built like that or has there been a repair of some sort? Any mechanical fastenings such as rivets along a splice should be inspected carefully. Bolt holes that haven’t been filled expose the mast to water penetration that could be detrimental to the wiring inside the mast. I would suggest filling any exposed screw, bolt, rivet or any other holes in the mast before re-stepping it. Next up is the boom gooseneck fitting for the main boom. Most of the failures I’ve seen besides having a stay or shroud break have been the gooseneck. The gooseneck receives its share of abuse when you consider the shaking of the boom from luffing sails, jibes that shouldn’t have been jibes, and other things like vang pressure. Anyhow, the gooseneck should be looked at for wear and cracking. Inspect the boom attachment point, where the boom connects to the gooseneck, too. I once had to sail under a juryrigged gooseneck. The boat was about 15 years old and well maintained. Without warning, the bronze gooseneck fitting cracked and split in half like it was made from two halves, which it was not. Trying to make a replacement gooseneck at a machine shop in the Canary Islands back then took a bit of patience. Luckily, we were still waiting out hurricane season so we had time to get it done. For the rest of the passage it was a source of apprehension, especially when sailing along at close to hull speed for days on end. The apprehension was worse when we were becalmed and the main boom would swing wildly from the sail slating, putting lots of loads on the repaired fitting. The base of the mast at the step should be inspected for corrosion or misalignment. If the mast is not

sitting evenly or snugly, it could cause problems. Look out for uneven wear marks at the base of the mast. The same type of inspection should be done to the main boom as well. The two issues I have found most often on the boom are lifting of an external sail track and reef point turning blocks loose at the fastenings. I haven’t gone into detail about inspection of a wooden mast. Wood masts are very strong, be it laminated box spar type or solid wood. But over the years, water penetration, delamination, and lack of maintenance will cause problems. If the mast is

varnished, it is much easier to inspect than a painted wood mast. Surveying a wood mast deserves its own column. A careful inspection of the mast, boom, and the components before buying the boat or going cruising will increase your sailing pleasure and give you peace of mind. You know what’s up on top of the mast, and you know the condition. Oh yeah, don’t forget to put that coin under the mast in the mast step when you reinstall the mast just for an added measure of good luck. You can’t have too much of that!

San Juan Island Yacht Club

Shaw Island Classic “One ship sails east, and another west, By the self same winds that blow,”

lla Wheeler Wilcox may have written those words while watching a very similar event to the 47th Annual San Juan Island YC Shaw Island Classic Regatta held on Saturday August 12th. Nearly 50 boats jockeyed for the line in just two starts and since the rules allow that you may round Shaw Island in either direction, it’s always a question of which way to go. “‘Tis the set of the sails, And not the gales, That tells the way we go.”

the fleet set spinnakers, if they had one, and headed west down San Juan Channel. Over their shoulders they could see several yachts reaching hard to the east toward Upright Channel, and so that’s what the poem is about. “Like the winds of the sea, Are the waves of time As we journey along through life,” A sailor pal once told me; the time we spend on the water is not counted against the time we are allotted here on Earth. It certainly felt that way as we slipped along watching a photo by David Colwell

Well, I’ve done this race probably two dozen times from sailing aboard the legendary Dorade to taking a child with disabilities on a Lightning and I have yet to encounter a gale. I would claim, in this case, it’s often the predicted current flow through Wasp Passage that tells the way to go. It would be much easier to make this critical decision if you knew exactly what time you would be arriving at Wasp Passage, which can be difficult, especially if the wind is not cooperating. If you simply cannot decide, it usually pays to follow Arne Bentzen. As the starting flags flew and the horn sounded, the majority of 56

humpback whale while also slipping through the waves of time. Of course, as we doused the kite and entered Wasp Passage, there were the usual hijinks and antics of fickle winds and varying boat speeds. Throw in the mix an occasional marauding power boater and a ferry or two, and you get a fairly clear picture. Fortunately, the current was sweeping us along and there was enough breeze to maintain maneuverability in the crowd. The SJIYC records half way times just off the Shaw Island ferry dock each year, just in case they're needed. It also gives you some indication just how you're doing. This year, the CCW boats were leading the CW boats by about 10 minutes. But, hey the race

Photo by Jim Corenman was only half way done and we were through Wasp Passage and the wind was building from the south-southeast. Then again, there were CCW boats are now under spinnaker through Wasp rather than beating as we had done. One thing for certain is that my wife, child and foreign exchange student had no lack of enthusiasm as they passed by under spinnaker while I worriedly ground the overloaded genoa sheet winch of the boat I was on. We were each leading our respective fleets in opposite directions at that halfway point, unfortunately it didn’t last to the finish, but still made a fine memory. Then faster boats, that started after a 15 minute delay, began to reel us in. It was full-on barber-

haul the genoa sheet to the rail and drag race to the finish. And, here came the CCW boats again as the finish line drew near. To be honest, it was one of those pesky multihulls skippered by homegrown Decatur Islanders that finished first in the CCW direction. For those of you of the lead-bellied money-guzzler persuasion, it was none other than Olympic medalist

Carl Buchan that was next to finish leading the way for the CW folks. “‘Tis the set of the soul, That determines the goal, And not the calm or the strife.” Well, thanks to you Ms. Wilcox, ain’t that the truth? Who among us could not have finished with a smile and a hearty

Thunderbird International Regatta T

he iconic town of Port Townsend and the Port Townsend Sailing Association hosted the 2017 Thunderbird Internationals from August 1st to the 5th. This marks nearly 60 years of great international one-design sailing from the drawing board of locally grown designer, Ben Seaborn. T-birds were way ahead of their time and are still very quick boats. With their distinctive single chine hull and fractional rig, they remain competitive after all these years. Fourteen boats arrived to compete, with entries from throughout Puget Sound and the west coast of Canada. Weather was great and PRO, Eric Rimkus, masterfully moved the course around Port Townsend Bay to take advantage of patches of wind. The fleet was rewarded with 17 races over the five-day regatta. Day one started sunny and sailable, if a little light, and delivered close racing among the contenders. Craig Burnell’s Predator and Stig Osterberg’s Raven team start strong with a first and second. Defending champion, Duane Emnot, on Thunderbaby had an unfortunate start and came in 12th in the first

race, but redeemed himself with a second behind Raven in the next race. Burnell’s Predator fell out of poll position after suffering an OCS in the second race. In case it was ever unclear, starts will make or break you in a one design fleet! As the day wore on, Grant Chyz on Raptor, who was just off of the podium in the first race, started showing his trademark consistency, and notched a win in the third race. Seattle sailor, Mike Dotson, showed the way in the fourth race on Invader. In case you’re keeping score (you know all the T-bird sailor were), that’s a different winner in each of the first four races. What great racing! Day two brought a bit more breeze and some cloud cover. The top of the fleet stayed dominated again until Race 7 when Hussy II showed her transom to the fleet for a bullet, while several leaders took their throw-outs. The second day of racing was followed by a pizza party hosted by Ullman Sails. Races were rehashed and a few lies may have been told, but it’s safe to say that a good time was had by all. Day three showed patchy breezes from the northwest, and PRO Rimkus

Overall winner Grant Chyz and the Raptor (center) team proved to be a model of consistency.

moved the course to Point Hudson to keep the fleet in the breeze. It was fun to sail in a different location, where the currents had a bigger impact. By day four, Raptor was fully in the groove. They scored no lower than second in seven of the final eight races. They would be nearly untouchable on the final day. Raven and Thunderbaby were separated by only three points and were duking it out for second. Could the local boat hold off the Thunderbaby juggernaut? The final day, Raptor merely had to hold on, but Thunderbaby turned it on to win races 15 and 16. Dorado won the last race, giving almost half the fleet at least one race win. Overall winners Grant Chyz and the Raptor team proved to be a model of consistency. Thunderbaby secured a strong second after their throw outs. Stig Osterberg’s Raven rounded out the podium. It was a great regatta in a beautiful location, and a fabulous celebration of a storied Northwest design. Many thanks to PT Sailing for their great job hosting this excellent event. by Vince Townrow photos courtesy of PTsails.org results on page 67

orty-one starters were on the line for STYC’s Down the Sound double and singlehanded event to Gig Harbor on Saturday and back on Sunday. A light southerly held on long enough for the fleet to make decent time to the halfway point at the north end of Vashon Island where it promptly fizzled, and we all parked. In this race, where start times are calculated by handicap and the first boat to finish wins, there’s nothing more frustrating than watching the faster boats come in behind you. But as a friend loves to say, “it’s a long race” and we had to keep muttering that to ourselves as we sat becalmed in the middle of the course watching boats slowly work their way along both shores. Gradually, a light northerly began filling in, and the middle and west side paid well. Some exciting boat on boat situations came into play as the fleet compressed in Colvos Passage, most boats having a tough time outrunning the filling breeze. It eventually filled in earnest and the sight of everyone flying their spinnakers along the Vashon shore near the finish was impressive. Of the 39 finishers on Saturday, 28 came came across in a 20 minute window with many close finishes. On Velella we were solidly middle of the fleet. As always, STYC puts on a great party, hosted at Arabella’s Landing Marina in Gig Harbor, where most of the fleet tied up for the night. There was a keg of beer, good food and the chance to visit with other racers. Probably enough said but it should be noted that the party alone is a reason for all of you to do this race next year. The prospects for Sunday looked bleak. A one hour delay, zero knots of September 2017

breeze and a waning ebb with lots of current in variable directions at the start line in between Gig Harbor and the south end of Vashon, made things interesting. The early starters got the short end of the stick and many boats got swept out of the positive current into an eddy taking them southbound along the Vashon shore towards Dalco Point. “You’re going the wrong way!” The trick was to time your drift to the start line and try to end up as close as possible to the committee boat to minimize the chance of ending up in the bad water along the Vashon shore. We were very nearly over early. Once on our way, there was the slightest hint of a northerly. The middle worked well getting to Point Richmond, and we passed a few boats that got stuck along the shore on the Gig Harbor side. Further north, the breeze was slowly building, but Colvos was like swiss cheese – full of holes. More than one boat had their dreams dashed by sailing a boatlength too far. With a bit of luck, we made it out of Colvos alongside the J/24, Challenger, with the Santa Cruz 33, Muffin, on our heels. At Blake, Challenger split off to go right and Muffin had ground us down. The northerly built to about eight knots as we passed close to Restoration Point, we had a nice angle on port across to Magnolia and then a beat around West Point to finish second. Not to say we weren’t looking over our shoulders the whole time. It’s definitely not over until it’s over. We’ll be back next year. by Ryan Helling photo by Autumn Helling results on page 67

aybe it’s the cruise up to Cowichan Bay, with stops in the islands and crab for lunch... Maybe it’s the whales that greet you near the border, or maybe it’s the iconic Ensalada salad dinghy (don’t ask, just come see it)... Or it could be the officially unofficial margarita dance party on the beach on Saturday night. It’s definitely about the perfect sailing conditions and sunshine. Whichever it is, the Cowichan Bay Regatta is predictable fun on the first weekend of August each year. The Cowichan Bay Sailing Association holds fast to their low-key operation, running the regatta each year out of a tiny trailer with volunteer organizers. Brigid Reynolds was a key organizer, and is now living on our side of the border. Joy and Stuart Dahlgren, of UK Sails, provided the prizes and they may have had a hand in the unofficial party, but let’s keep that just between us! Cow Bay is an oasis like no other. You’re all in it together! With few exceptions, all the boats operate out of one marina, one hotel, one breakfast place, one coffee place, one pub, two showers... you get the idea! You are going to hang out with your shipmates and your competition, and you’re going to like it! Traditionally, the regatta follows a format that is popular in California. There is historically one day of buoy racing, one big party night and a distance race the next day. For the one design fleets and most of the classes, it is now two days of buoy racing. The first start for the first division isn’t until 11:30 and that makes for an easy morning to enjoy breakfast and load up ice in the cooler. Cowichan Bay is fueled by a thermal breeze, with just enough wind to make it fun and it comes and goes on leisurely “doctor ’s hours.” The Martin 242 fleet is always the darling of the event, most popular in every way. This year 18 boats showed up on the starting line for Canadian Nationals. They knocked off eight races in two days and the top spots were quite competitive! Michael Clements’ Too Wicked finished first,

followed closely by Alex Fox in the Crantini and then Back in Black. The multihull fleet is a rare sight at regattas in the past several years. So many hulls! So much speed! Grace, beauty, speed and danger unite! Plus the guys on Dragonfly cooked up a mean steak dinner on Saturday night for the whole crowd. The multihull fleet starts first and is sent off over the horizon each day. They return an hour or more later, blazing through the mere mortals in the bay. This year Geneva, Dream Chaser, and Son of Raven finished the weekend on the podium. The rest of the crowd sailed in three different PHRF divisions and one (mostly) cruising division. I have to say that the cruisers were a group amongst themselves and a force to be reckoned with. If there is an anchor or dinghy visible on deck, you should definitely let them “play through.” And smile! We are all trying to get new people on the water, and all trying to increase regatta attendance. It’s great to see new faces, and some familiar ones on the podium in that division. Top spots went to Prairie Sun, FreeWind, and The Lounge. On the Wild Rumpus, in PHRF 3, we were treated like royalty by the locals. We were nicknamed the Thunder from (not very far) Down Under because we were among the www.48North.com

few Americans at the regatta this year. We came in a solid second place behind perennial winner, Dave Richardson’s Hotfoot 27, Fetish, and behind us was another Hotfoot 27, The Jaguar. In PHRF 2, top spots went to Bulletproof, Ultraman2, and Cantina. Finally, PHRF 1 had the big boats of the regatta and some little fast ones mixed in. The international couple and crew of Paul and April Faget’s Left Coast Dart, Ogopogo, came in first in class and overall for the regatta. King and Queen of Cow Bay! Second and third in the fast division went to My-Tai and Blackadder 3.0. After a great weekend of sailing and an evening motor back to America, I left the boat in Friday Harbor for the Shaw Island Classic on the following weekend. If you were adventurous and flexible, you could do that race and continue a north Sound tour on the following weekends after that! After the Shaw, Anacortes Yacht Club hosts the Northern Century and you could continue north to Bellingham for the Pink Boat Regatta and PITCH after that! So much fun, so little time.
