Oracle Team USA takes a well deserved victory lap in front of
thousands of cheering fans along the San Francisco waterfront,
after their astonishing comeback to win the 34th America’s Cup.
How’d They Do It?
As Yogi Berra famously said, “It
ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” We all sat in
wonder as Oracle clawed their way
back. Was there anyone who watched
the dramatic turnaround who wasn’t
more than curious as to how they did it? Maybe the secret would be
revealed in the many post race interviews.
To benefit The Sailing Foundation and PIYA, Gary Jobson gave a
talk at the Seattle Yacht Club to give his summary of the 34th America’s
Cup. As always, he was great, a sailor talking to sailors, with knowledge
and insights that few people are privy to. See his article, “America’s Cup
Attitude,” on page 30. We all sat on the edge of our seats waiting for the
revealing. After all, if Oracle could gain five knots, maybe we could gain
a whopping half knot somewhere.
Gary had just interviewed Jimmy Spithill who had, throughout
the ordeal of getting smoked by Team Emirates New Zealand, never
wavered in his belief that they could come back and win. But, his
answers were pretty generic, saying it was a bunch of little things, small
changes in the foils, and hard work. Darn, no real secrets there. That
pretty much works on every boat, except for the foil thing. However,
Gary did mention that wing engineers at Boeing had offered some
advice on trimming the wing more effectively. Aha! He suggested that
maybe the Oracle Team took some of that trim advice more to heart
when they were down and that found them that extra speed.
When I worked at Windward Mark many a moon ago, you could
always tell when your customer was a Boeing engineer. Most folks
would say, “Give me a block for a 3/8” line, and you hand them, at the
time, a Schaefer 05-05 block. But the engineers didn’t just buy a block,
they “dissected” it, examining the components and comparing the specs
to all the other parts of their totally integrated systems. It would drive
you nuts, but these guys were precise and totally right in what they were
doing for the best performance of their boat.
My old skipper and friends of his worked at Boeing in the 70’s and
80’s and, when they had “spare time,” designed sails on the computers.
We’d cut them out on a rec-hall floor, sew them together and, darned if
they weren’t pretty good.
So, I have to admit, the thought of some sailors at Boeing working
the problem to get more effeciency out of a wing on a sailboat makes me
smile. In leiu of further evidence I’m going with that — gotta love our
Seattle sailors.

Mystery Mold in Bonney Lake
I am developing a site in Bonney Lake and found this
on site. It’s a classic design about 25’ in length and with a
7’ beam. I hate to junk it - the neighbors say it’s been there
for about 30 - 35 years. I have no idea how to figure out
who built the thing. Contact me if you can find anyone
with interest - or at least to help solve the question of
model and builder.
I’m just looking to salvage a piece of history (maybe)
and will give it away. I’d be glad to give it to someone
wanting to build a classic fiberglass full keel boat. I really
don’t want to see my track hoe smash it up. I’ve got a
couple of months.
I can be reached at 425-864-0374.

Greg Norwine
He Made People’s Dreams Real
As many in the Puget Sound sailing community
have probably learned, we lost a great friend and guide
on October 5 when Greg Norwine passed away. Our
deepest sympathies go to Greg’s family, as well as to the
staff and our fellow members of Windworks Sailing and
Powerboating.
Greg had been president and CEO of Windworks,
which sails on under full canvas with Bill Curley in the
captain’s chair. We among its members hope to enjoy it for
many years to come.
We joined Windworks Sailing in 2000. Greg was a
consummate salesman in all the best meanings of the
word. He gave us a very realistic idea of what we might
expect and how we could learn. With solid instruction, an
emphasis on safety, an excellent staff, and a strong fleet, he
backed up his words. We’ve never looked back.
Like us, many new sailors ventured onto Puget Sound
through Windworks. They advanced through certification
and skill levels to the point of being able to confidently
charter and cruise. Many have sought out cruising
grounds elsewhere on the planet, and some have bought
boats of their own and trod the ocean.
Greg had huge expertise to pass along, and many
great ideas, but also solicited suggestions from members
and staff and continually worked to improve the
experience for all. Whether club members were cruising,
racing, or simply nailing down a new skill, he made the
dream real.
We will profoundly miss Greg’s inspiration,
mentorship, friendship and encouragement, not to mention
his gentle good humor. He clearly loved what he did, and
made Windworks a welcoming place. Whether arriving
for a class or a charter, Windworks members and newbies
would often find him there with a warm greeting and a
smile when they walked in the door. He provided ways for
sailors to connect with, and support, each other. As much
as a sailing outlet, Windworks has been a community.
We enjoy one of the greatest sailing grounds in the
world, enhanced by people like Greg. Through the

enthusiasm of the sailors who built their skills through
Windworks, and the leadership and staff that carry on his
legacy, his spirit will remain, here and abroad. The words
of Jimmy Buffett seem appropriate: “He gave me my first
sextant, and he taught me how to fly….”
Fair winds, Greg. Fair winds.
Jeff and Cheryl Laufle

Nicely said. Greg was so involved in more than just his
Windworks sailing school and charter, but as a Northwest
representative to US Sailing. His soft spoken, quiet demeanor
belied his enthusiasm for getting people out on the water and
teaching them the techniques to enjoy the sport of sailing in fun
and safe manner. The sailing community will miss him.

I Met a Guy Selling Books in Mexico...
Hello my name is Dan Opis and I’m a long time reader.
Anyway I was down in La Paz Mexico last April (RVing,
left the boat at home) and I went to a Sunday swap meet
at Marina de La Paz where I met a guy selling his cruising
books. His name was Andrew Gunson and he was sailing
with his wife. They were in transit from Vancouver, British
Columbia to Panama aboard their Hardin 44, S.V. Maiatla.
After talking with him for some time, I felt compelled
to purchase his two titles, which he gladly signed. I’ve
just gotten around to sitting down and reading them
and, to say I was enthralled by this story teller would be
a gross understatement. The books were funny, moving,
informative, often thought provoking and extremely well
written and I was saddened that he only had two books.
When I talked to him at the market he informed me
that he was presently engaged in writing his third title
which is about his Panama voyage, I’m eagerly awaiting.
I would highly recommend these books for your staff
to review or perhaps you would consider myself writing
the review for your publication. I have attached Andrew’s
email address if you want to ask for books to review. I also
attached Andrew’s press releases that I found on line which
has the books synopsis and publication details and some
book reviews I found on Amazon Books.
Keep up the good work.
Dan Opis.
Seattle Washington
I’d say you’ve already done a nice review, but let’s tell people
the title (which you’ve got to love) of the two book series,
“Voyage of the Maiatla with the Naked Canadian,” by Andrew
W. Gunson. Both titles are available through Amazon,

Shoreline to Panama, Edmonds to Turkey
We too just stumbled across your list of local boat blogs
and wondered if you would also be interested in including
ours. Our hailing port is Richmond Beach, Shoreline, WA.
Our sailboat, Baraka, is a 1987 Slocum 43, that has faithfully
carried us over 45,000 miles. We sailed out from Edmonds
in August 2006, and have slowly been traveling west ever
since. We are currently in Panama and expect to complete
our circumnavigation back home in mid 2014.
The blog of our travels is: www.svbaraka.com Our
blog also includes a link to a summary of our previous trip
from Edmonds to Turkey in 1988 thru 1992, aboard our
previous boat Moulin Rouge, a Hans Christian 33.
Attached is a photo of the two of us in Cape Town,
South Africa taken earlier this year.
Thanks for you consideration. We have enjoyed

National Boating Education Conference Honors
Dick and Colleen Wagner, Founders of The Center for Wooden Boats
Dick and Colleen Wagner, the
founders of The Center for Wooden boats
in Seattle, have been honored with a
special dinner that will kick of the 2013
Teaching With Small Boats Alliance
Conference at Mystic Seaport
in Mystic Connecticut.
From October 15-18, the
Center for Wooden Boats
Founding Director, Executive
Director, Youth Education
Manager and Fleet Operations
Manager visited the Teaching
with Small Boats Alliance 2013
Conference at Mystic Seaport
in Mystic, Connecticut to learn
and share their experiences
in creating in Seattle and
on Camano Island some of
the nation’s premier hands
on maritime education
experiences.
Dick Wagner, Betsy Davis,
Tyson Trudel and Kyle Hunter
presented workshops, lead
and participated in panel discussions,
and were part of the audience as museum
directors and educators from 65 different
museums around the country gathered
to share knowledge and techniques
about what works when teaching kids
about science, technology, engineering,
math and their own potential, through
hands-on learning in small boats.
This is the fifth meeting in a series
of gatherings that started when Wagner
invited educators to come to CWB in
Seattle in the 1990s to share notes and
best practices. “The goal today, as it
was then, is to learn from each other,
share notes, and borrow what works,”
said CWB’s Wagner.” “Kids can learn
amazing things in boats, if we just give
them a chance.”
This year’s conference opens with
honoring Dick and Colleen Wagner for
all the work they have done to build
The Center for Wooden Boats to the
point where it is about to break ground
on a new $6 million Education Center
in Seattle bearing their name. “It’s only
fitting that the conference open by saying
thank you,” said Joe Youcha, Director
of the, Building To Teach program at
Alexandria Seaport in Alexandria,
Virginia. “There would be no Teaching
With Small Boats Alliance without Dick
Wagner, and many of the individual
organizations might not exist without
Dick's counsel, support, coordination
and example.”
Representatives from the Center for
Wooden Boats also served on a panel
discussing how best to ensure that the
boat building techniques, technologies,
culture and stories of indigenous peoples
are included when telling our nations
maritime history. For more than a
decade The Center for Wooden Boats
has hosted a Haida “Artist InResidence” who has included
school kids and visitors to CWB
in the process of hand carving
cedar canoes that have been
common in Northwest waters
for centuries. CWB is working
with United Indians of All
Tribes Foundation and Antioch
University Seattle to keep that
carving going while UIATF
builds a new Northwest Native
Canoe Center near CWB’s South
Lake Union site.
The next Teaching with
S m a l l B o a t s C o n f e re n c e
Conference is already being
planned for the spring of 2015.
That conference will be held back
where it all started, at The Center
for Wooden Boats, using both the Seattle
and Camano Island locations.
Fittingly, since Dick Wagner was
there when it all started, the next Teaching
with Small Boats Alliance Conference is
expected to be one of the very first events
to use CWB’s new Wagner Education
Center, the 9,200 square foot building
that the museum will break ground
on in Seattle’s Lake Union Park this
winter. The opening reception in the
2015 conference is expected to be held
in the new facilities’ Welcome Gallery
before the gathered educators adjourn
to CWB’s facility at Cama Beach State
Park for the bulk of the panels, classes
and workshops.

Smart Way For Seafarers To Track Effects Of Climate Change
Seafarers are being encouraged
to take part in a unique global study,
using a mobile phone app to record the
effects of climate change. The public
science project will measure the amount
of phytoplankton, minute organisms at
the very start of the marine food chain,
currently residing in the world’s oceans.
Scientists fear the population of the
microscopic beings is in decline due
to rising sea temperatures and, if true,
that could have consequences for every
aspect of marine life.
The project is being spearheaded by
Plymouth University’s Marine Institute,
which hopes to build a map of the oceans
that charts the seasonal and annual
changes of phytoplankton from now
and into the future.
Plankton biologist Dr Richard Kirby,
who is leading the study, said: “As
the phytoplankton live at the surface
of the sea they are being affected by
rising sea temperatures due to climate
change. A scientific paper published
last year suggested the ocean's plankton
www.fisheriessupply.com
population had declined by as much as
40 per cent since 1950 as sea temperatures
had warmed due to climate change. The
scientists suggested that a warming of
the ocean surface may have reduced
vertical mixing of the water column
thereby reducing the supply of nutrients
from deeper waters – in effect the input
of fertiliser to the surface had lessened
with effects upon phytoplankton growth.
Their results provoked debate among
marine scientists however, some who
thought they saw no change, or even
an increase in phytoplankton in some
places. Since the phytoplankton begin
the marine food chain, we need to know
more about if, how, and why they are
changing in order to understand the
effects on the ocean's biology.”
To check the levels of phytoplankton
in our oceans, marine experts have
developed a free smart phone app for
sailors and fishermen to use wherever
they are in the world.
Because the phytoplankton – each
thinner than a strand of human hair –
1900 N. Northlake Way, Seattle WA. 98103
206.632.4462
exist at the sea’s surface, mariners can
carry out a simple experiment using an
easy to make ‘Secchi Disk.’
Attached to a measuring tape, the
Secchi Disk is lowered over the side of a
boat and the depth at which it disappears
from sight estimates the amount of
phytoplankton in the sea. This depth can
then be uploaded to a database using
the Secchi app.
Dr. Kirby added: "The Secchi Disks
are still used by marine scientists to
study phytoplankton but there are too
few scientists to survey the world's
oceans as well as we would wish. This
app enables seafarers around the world
to take part in a science project and if
we can just get a small percentage of the
global population of sailors involved, we
can generate a database that will help
us understand how life in the oceans is
changing. It would help us learn much
more about these important organisms
at a crucial time when their habitat is
altering due to climate change."
The Secchi app has been developed
by Dr Nicholas Outram and Dr Nigel
Barlow, from Plymouth University’s
School of Computing and Mathematics,
and the database will be maintained by
Pixalytics Ltd, a company founded by
Dr Sam Lavender, an Honorary Reader
at the University.
A major design consideration of
the apps is that they have to be able to
operate in places where the phone has
no Internet connection. Participants
record as many Secchi readings as they
like, and these are stored as “pending
readings” on the phone. Exactly how
many pending readings can be stored
depends on the capabilities of the phone,
but the number is very large.
In addition, the app has an easy to
follow workflow to minimise errors.
The participant’s location is taken
from the phone’s GPS, eliminating
transcription errors. The user interface
has been designed to be clean, intuitive
and uncluttered, and in particular to be
a UI that works on a boat at sea. Small
and fussy layouts are not used, and the
“depth disk” uses a logarithmic scale
to enable shallow depths to be entered
quickly and accurately.

Washington State Parks Staff Member
Receives National Boating Safety Award
Jim French, a longtime employee
of the Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission’s Boating
Program, has received national honors
from the National Association of State
Boating Law Administrators.
French received the NASBLA
Lifetime Achievement Award for his
long devotion to recreational boating
safety and his work in supporting the
national organization. The award was
presented recently at the NASBLA
national conference in Boise, Idaho.
French, 65, began his career in 1972,
as a watercraft officer with the Ohio
Division of Watercraft. In 1984, he was
hired by Washington State Parks through
a nationwide recruitment, to work on the
startup of Washington state’s boating
safety program. Under his purview,
Washington’s marine law enforcement
program was created, along with a variety
of campaigns over the years to increase
J Boats Rendezvous
June 28
the safety of Washington’s waterways
for boaters. Notable among French’s
accomplishments is the production of a
1992 video, “Adventures in Boating with
Bill Nye, the Science Guy,” featuring a
young and not-yet-famous Bill Nye.
Serving as NASBLA president in
1993, French testified before Congress
alongside the National Traffic Safety
Board on a number of issues that later
were reflected in federal or state law,
including mandatory boater education,
mandatory wearing of life jackets for
children and increased penalties for
boating under the influence.
French is an avid hiker and
outdoorsman, well known for his
volunteer efforts on outdoor stewardship
and trail projects. He is a member
of the U.S. Forest Service Resources
Advisory Council and serves as chair
of The Mountaineers’ Conservation
Committee.

Maritime Trivia
Oysters are the most profitable
mollusks that are farmed.
A female oyster can produce
more than 100 million eggs at a single
spawning.
As many as 1,000 different fish
produce light in the deep oceans.
Some deep-sea shrimp emit light
from their mouths to blind or distract
predators, allowing the shrimp to escape
into darker water.
The longest bony fish in the ocean
is the 25-foot-long rare oarfish that can
weigh more than 600 pounds.
Flounders and Rays are the only
fishes to have both eyes on one side of
their bodies.
There are about 55,000 species of
sea snails found worldwide.
Some sea anemones can live as long
as people--up to 70 years or more.
By Bryan Henry
Magicians of the reef, octopi can not
only quickly change shape and color,
they can change the texture of their skin,
becoming bumpy or smooth to blend
with rocks and seaweed.
When threatened, a squid can squirt
an ink cloud that creates a pseudomorph,
or false body, that predators dash after
instead of the real squid, which by then
has escaped.
There are more than 500 species of
mantis shrimp, ranging from a half inch
to 18 inches.
The Nile catfish swims upside down
to feed on algae from the undersides of
aquatic vegetation.
Eighty percent of the world’s
freshwater fish species live in the
Amazon River.
The waters of Australia are home to
the Stout Infant fish, no longer than the
width of a pencil.
Sailfish and marlins are found in the
Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Encrusting sea sponges secrete an
acid that enables them to bore into rocks
and shells.
Sea hares emit a cloud of purple ink
when disturbed.
In certain species of mantis shrimp,
it’s the females that aggressively pursue
males.
The Seahorse is the only fish capable
of grasping things with its tail.
Unlike other flatfish, Halibut are
swift swimmers and can easily ascend to
the surface to feed.
Seahorses can change colors to
match the plant, sponge or coral that
they attach to.

Sta-Plug™ is Forespar's new form
fitting emergency plug with exclusive
edge gripping riblets to help hold it
in place and seal the water out.
Its soft cone shaped design easily
adapts to fill the irregular shapes
of hull impact breaches, as well as
any round hole leak from a hose
or through-hull. And its size is
easily adjustable.
Sta-Plug's™ shape includes a series
of concentrically larger riblets stepped
along the length of the cone. These
riblets offer two big advantages:
they help Sta-Plug™ conform to seal
in the leak near the edge where a
tight fit is most crucial, and they
help hold it more securely in
place. Size is easily adjustable and
Sta-Plug™ can be torn near the
8th riblet to make a smaller 2” diameter
plug for smaller leaks. Intended
for temporary emergency use with
continuous monitoring only
Made from high density foam,
Sta-Plug™ will remain soft and ready to
go for years and will not mold or swell
up like conventional wood plugs. Not
meant for fuel leaks.

Galley Essentials with Amanda
Sunny and Devon aboard
“Second Chance.”
There always seems to
be an amazing amount of
things I’m thankful for and
this Thanksgiving holds no
exceptions. So, I’d like to
take this time to say many
thanks to all those who
have created wonderful
foodie items for me to eat
and recipes to share.
Upon anchoring in
at Rangitoto Island, in
Auckland, the flag and
homeport of Douglas on
the neighboring yacht
Second Chance, grabbed
our attention. On closer
investigation John
discovered old acquaintances, Sunny
and Devon. Currently they were on
a shakedown cruise, having spent
several years refitting their boat and
replenishing their cruising kitty, and
were spending a quiet night at anchor
before heading further afield up the
coast. In preparation for their coastal
passage Sunny was preparing a chowder
whilst Devon was monitoring his baking.

I met Ute in New Caledonia as
we berthed beside them and Ute was
returning from the local market excited to
have a reliable source of fresh provisions.
She’d just spent the hurricane season in
the remote Solomon Islands where it
helps to be rather resourceful. The only
prospect for fresh meat arrived when
the locals occasionally killed a cow and
it was possible to purchase a large
chunk. When this occurred, Ute
would can large portions of meat
for later use. That afternoon a few of
Ute’s girlfriends were coming over
for a catch-up chat and potluck
Ute planned to serve a fresh green
bean salad with chunks of whole
meal baguette.
Ute’s Canned
Sweet & Sour Meat
4lbs beef in large chunks
2 cups water
1 cup vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs
3 carrots - cut into large chunks
3 onions - diced
salt and pepper
Combine water, vinegar, sugar and
herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Place meat in a Ziploc bag, cover with
marinade, and remove air from bag.
Allow meat to marinate 3 days in the
refrigerator turning twice a day and
ensuring meat is covered. Cook meat
in marinade with carrots and onions
by either; ½ hour on high heat oven or
15 minutes in pressure cooker. Remove
meat and pack into sterilized canning
jars. Bring marinade to a boil then cover
canned meat leaving a ½ inch head space,
remove bubbles by running a knife blade
down the side of the jar. Seal with lid.
Serve cold or hot. A ½ cup of broth makes
a great cream sauce to serve with the
reheated meat.
Green Beans with Pancetta
2oz thinly sliced pancetta
1lb green bean - trimmed
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
¼ cup roasted hazelnuts
shaved Parmesan
Place pancetta on a baking tray
and grill 5 minutes until crisp. When
cool break into shards. Meanwhile boil
green beans for 5 minutes until tender
crisp. Combine oil and vinegar, pour
over beans and season to taste. Top with
remaining ingredients. Serves 5.
Susanna sailed with us on our
Fiji to Vanuatu expedition and was
really thrilled when we landed a tuna
offering to make her native Argentinian
chimichurri for the grilled tuna steaks.
Unfortunately our fresh Fijian supply of
herbs had already been consumed but
as Susana advised me that as chimichuri
keeps for week the refrigerator I’ll now
make it when fresh herbs are available
before heading to sea. Not to be daunted
by our lack of fresh herbs Susanna set
about creating her delicious “Sauce for
Fish” that she makes for fresh fish when
she’s out sailing and cruising her sloop
in British Columbia.
Chimichurri Sauce
2 cups fresh parsley and/or cilantro
firmly packed
¼ cup fresh oregano leaves
3-6 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons chopped onion
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
assorted peppers to taste – chili, paprika,
black, cayenne
salt
Finely chop herbs, garlic and onion.
Whisk in olive oil, vinegar, peppers and
salt to taste.
Susanna’s Sauce for Fish
4 tomatoes - diced small
3 garlic - chopped finely
½ cup mayonnaise
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper
Combine all ingredients. Serves 4.
San Juan Island is full of colorful

Scotty patiently creates his infamous rice
pudding (an old school recipe handed
down to Scott) and delivers it around the

Rice Pudding
¾ cup long grain white rice
Lowtide
6 cups whole milk
3 cinnamon sticks
¾ cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
In a pot combine rice, milk and
cinnamon, bring to a boil slowly
*STIRRING CONSTANTLY. Reduce heat
and cook slowly stirring constantly until
rice is al dente...slightly undercooked.
In a bowl combine sugar, egg yolks and
cream. Slowly incorporate some of the
hot rice mixture (approximately a cup or
two) bringing the mix up in temperature
to keep the eggs from scrambling. Add to
rice and return to boil slowly *STIRRING
CONSTANTLY and cook one minute.
Remove from heat, discard cinnamon
sticks, mix in a splash of vanilla and
sprinkle with cinnamon. Let stand at
least one hour before eating.
*Deviation from constant stirring is a
sin and using a double-boiler is blasphemy!
REMEMBER: patience is a virtue.

Business or Pleasure, AquaDrive will make
your boat smoother, quieter and vibration
free.
The AquaDrive system solves a
problem nearly a century old; the fact
that marine engines are installed on soft
engine mounts and attached almost
rigidly to the propeller shaft.
The very logic of AquaDrive is
inescapable. An engine that is vibrating
on soft mounts needs total freedom of
movement from its propshaft if noise
and vibration are not to be transmitted to
the hull. The AquaDrive provides just
this freedom of movement. Tests
proved that the AquaDrive with its
softer engine mountings can reduce
vibration by 95% and structure borne
noise by 50% or more. For information,

Sailing the Straits without the
blanketing fog.
FOG
First Test for NW Cruisers
I hate the fog. I absolutely hate it! Fog is a dangerous reality
that a boat and crew often contend with in the Northwest. We
could get hit by another vessel or run aground. As I see the
cloud of mist hovering on the horizon, I realize we are about to
be wrapped within it. I think of the story about a sailing family
that was struck by a containership at night. Only the mother
survived. But I think the fog is worse than night; you can’t see
navigational lights until they are right up on you.
Kelly Girl Waterhouse
For years, my husband and I sailed
around the Puget Sound in a little
22 foot and 25 foot Catalina, so we
were familiar with our local cruising
grounds and its challenges. We got
to thinking about selling everything
to live the dream many sailors have,
which was to sail wherever a sturdy
vessel and wind could take us without
the worry of land-based obligations.
That is when we purchased Moorea, a
35-foot sloop. This was the boat that
would get us where we wanted to go—
around the world.
After two years of living on her
and saving our money, we were ready
to depart. Our first trip was a shakedown cruise around Vancouver Island,
spending six weeks testing our rig, the
radar and our nerves on the island’s
west coast. We never sailed without
the protection of land and we still
had the luxury of ducking in and out
of the island’s inlets each evening. On
our shakedown, we experienced a few
damaged parts, like our antiquated
roller furling’s foil, just above the
drum twisted into a candy-cane stripe.
Within a few weeks, we were ready to
officially cut the dock lines for our first
offshore passage to San Francisco.
The plan was to make a few stops
along the Straits of Juan de Fuca then
sail from Neah Bay directly to San
Francisco. After visiting with friends
in Sequim, it was into the Straits where
our first test began.
Early in the morning, we pulled
up anchor off Sequim Bay. It was
promising to be a clear day to motor
up the Straits of Juan de Fuca towards
Neah Bay. Then we would rest for the
night and head out into the open ocean
the next day. Just two hours into our
journey, Mother Nature had different
plans.
The shipping lanes along the strait
are wide, so little vessels wanting to
stay out of them hug the shoreline.
That was our plan, until we saw the fog
bank coming toward us.
Getting ready for the bon voyage party at
Everett Marina.
Before the fog can reach us, Kelly
moves down into the cabin and turns
on the running lights. He tells me to
reduce our speed to three knots and
says, “I’ll start up the radar. Do you
want to sound the horn?”
“Sure.” I reach for the handheld
EcoHorn. It’s the kind of horn you
pump up with air after two uses.
“Kelly, I forget, is it one long blast
and two short ones?” We had been
caught in fog before.
“Yep.”
One hour passes and we are
still watching the radar, blasting our
position from the horn every two
minutes, and pumping air into it
every four. Every five minutes Kelly
is charting our way alongside the
shipping lane.
There’s an eerie peacefulness out
here. I look around and only see white
vapor. My nose is dripping from the
cold. We can hear the distant muffled
sounds of large and small vessels
tooting their horns. The white cloud
has a lulling quality. It almost feels
like a protective layer, but has as much
security as a kid gets when hiding from
monsters under a blanket.
“There’s a vessel getting closer, or
maybe we’re close to a buoy.” Kelly
is comparing the chart with what he
sees on the radar. We had only used the
radar a few times before. Once at dusk
in the fog near the marina and other
times we’d turn it on during the day
so we could learn how to spot ships,
buoys and the contours of land. Now
we are put to the test using it in an
unfamiliar area, near busy commercial
shipping lanes.
A sounding horn is getting louder.
“What do we do?” I’m frantically
pumping air into the damn horn. We
strain and look into the dense wall of
white to spot any movement or lights.
“The radar just shows them getting
closer.” Kelly is pointing to the moving
blip that is less than a quarter mile
away. “I hope they see us on their
screen.”
“Why can’t they see us?” I ask.
“We’re small, even with our radar
reflector I can’t trust they see us.”
My mind is blank.
“The fog horn is getting louder.”
Kelly says.
Two minutes is a long time to wait
for another blast.
Kelly and Kelly are all smiles passing under the iconic Golden Gate Bridge
There is nothing to see except
the blip on our radar screen. We can
see they are close, but really can’t tell
how close. Kelly takes off his stocking
hat and stands over the helm on the
cockpit seat to listen.
“I hear an engine.”
I stop breathing and focus on
where the sound is coming from. It’s
close by but I have no idea from what
direction. This is puzzling my brain
and I can’t bear it.
Large waves come rolling towards
Moorea, knocking her around as if
she were a rubber duck in a bathtub.
Whatever it was has passed by.
Kelly comes close to me and hugs
me through our thick layers of foul
weather gear.
“Those were the vessel’s stern
waves. That was a big boat.”
“I didn’t see any lights? Did you?”
He hadn’t. That is the frightening
thing about fog.
Even though the ship has passed,
we’re still consumed within walls of
fog, but now we have racing hearts and
doubtful thoughts. This trip almost
ended before it began.
Around late morning the fog, along
with our fears, dissipated. A crisp blue
sky guides us along the strait’s strong
current and towards our destination.

“Sailing The Waterhouse, Swapping Turf
for Surf,” by Kelly Girl Waterhouse, in

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
Flash, Crack and Ozone!
Tips from an Unplanned Rewiring
Tioman Island in Malaysia, with
its mountainous interior and great
snorkeling was the perfect destination
after months in muddy Borneo. At
Tioman we reconnected with Tahina, a
St. Francis 50 catamaran, and owners
Frank and Karen. After a few days of
startling reef fish with Tahina’s remote
operated vehicle (ROV) submarine,
she sailed from Tioman for Singapore
and the Straits of Malacca. Then an
email from Frank arrived, describing
a flash of lightning followed instantly
by an earsplitting crack of thunder
and the strong smell of ozone. They
were shocked by the shock, but they
couldn’t pause because their anchor
windlass spontaneously came to life
and began pulling the anchor up!
The strike was probably indirect,
inflicting no structural damage,
although the missing masthead
VHF antenna was an interesting
consequence. Electrical systems and
electronic devices suffered badly,
with windlass reversing solenoid and
remote, inverter/charger, most LED
lights, and all navigation and sailing
electronics (from autopilot to VHF)
destined for the trash bin. Tahina’s
plan to cross the Indian Ocean in a
few months was suddenly tenuous,
so Frank asked me for help getting the
boat passage ready again.
After a month of work, without a
chandlery for hundreds of miles, Tahina
is again ready to cruise. From this and
past experience, I’ve compiled some
tips and tricks to help make it easier
and safer to manage the mess of wires
that end up on most boats. That said,
electricity is lethal, so understanding
electrical hazards and practicing all
precautions with 12 volt and AC
systems are a must. Always disconnect
shore power before doing any electrical
work.
Wire organization: If you’re going
to have scores of wires aboard, it’s
good practice to keep them organized
and secure. Often this isn’t done well,
and a tangle of wires will macramé
together to form a mess that looks darn
secure. Problems arise when fishing
out a wire from the tangle resembles
removing duct tape from someone’s
hair. It’s going to hurt and probably
require cutting.
Over-bundling: The reverse also
happens. Some boats have wires
bundled together nicely. Then zip
ties are applied every few inches,
followed by nylon wire wrap (the
stuff that spirals around wires to keep
them together) and then finished off
with more zip ties. This armor-clad
approach does secure wires, but too
much so. Anyone tasked with adding
or removing one wire from the bundle
may well find it easier to sell the boat
as is.
Strain relief: All wires must be
secure to prevent any pulling force
against its terminal connectors (a
mechanism for connecting wire at its
ends). Wire connections at the top of
the mast and wire bundles with small
and large diameter wires especially,
since the wire weight alone will break
any terminal connection.
Chafe prevention: Wires passing
through a pulpit, mast, or bulkhead
can chafe through their protective
insulation quickly. A rubber grommet,
length of plastic tubing, or silicone
sealant will protect the wire.
Conduit: A conduit such as thin
walled PVC pipe is a great way to
protect and neaten wires as they snake
to and from different areas of the boat.
A lack of conduit access holes makes it
difficult to run new wires and causes
longer than necessary wire runs Access
holes can be cut if the conduit isn’t
too full. Using a hacksaw blade, saw
with short movements and only deep
enough to break through the pipe wall.
Zip-ties: Whether cinched tightly
around a wire bundle or used to anchor
wires to a fixed point, zip ties are cheap
and effective. Sometimes the clipped
end can be sharp enough to slice skin,
so carefully cut the excess end off flush
with a utility knife. Zip ties are nylon
and rot after a year two in the sun,
so avoid using them for above deck
applications such as masthead wire
strain relief.
Wire wrap: These don’t really
secure wires and are slow to add or
remove, but they do protect and bundle
wires nicely. They’re best for small
bundles that aren’t likely to require
changes, such as an engine wiring
harness.
Electrical tape: Don’t use electrical
tape to wrap wires together because
it will leave a sticky mess if removed.
Also, shrink tube is a better choice than
tape for sealing the wire to terminal
connection. Electrical tape is adequate
for labeling wires or any number of
temporary uses.
Corrosion: Another form of
connection problem is corrosion.
Quality wire and connectors sealed
with heat shrink go a long way to
reducing corrosion, but it’s hard
to eliminate altogether. I recently
discovered that an inline fuse and
holder, below decks and dry, developed
a little surface corrosion. Even though
it appeared minor it was enough to
cause electrical resistance and heat
sufficient to melt the fuse holder until
the fuse blew. Wet areas such as anchor
locker, bilge, and above deck locations
require inspection and maintenance to
ensure wire connections don’t become
a problem.
Fuses: As a practical rule, I find the
spade type fuses easiest to read the amp
rating and to see if it is good or blown.
Fuses, unlike circuit breakers lined
up on a distribution panel, are wired
inline somewhere along the length of
the positive wire. Therefore, they can
be hard to find. On Tahina, I found an
inline fuse installed by the boat builder
in the middle of huge wire bundle, all
inside of a conduit. It’s a good idea to
document all inline fuse locations at
the dock instead of when you have a
problem on a rough day.
Circuit breakers: A circuit breaker
rated for 15 amps on a circuit requiring
a maximum of three amps isn’t really
providing enough protection. It would
take up to five times the circuits
required amps to trip the breaker,
enough to cause too much heat and
potentially fire. Match a circuit breaker’s
rating to just above maximum required
amps for the devices on that circuit.
Alternatively, each device can have an
inline fuse with appropriate amperage
rating.
Fuse block: A good way to free
up circuit breakers and reduce wires
to the distribution panel is to use a
fuse block. Every device needs circuit
protection, but it doesn’t have to be a
circuit breaker as long as the device
has its own on/off switch. A fuse block
enables one circuit breaker to provide
power to multiple devices, with each
device being protected on its owned
fused circuit. For example, chartplotter,
radar, VHF and sailing instruments are
often wired to four different circuit
breakers. Instead, connect them to
a fuse block and then to one circuit
breaker.
Bus bar: The negative bus bar is
often overcrowded with wires. Instead,
install small negative bus bars in several
places around the boat. Negative wires
in the area can attach to a small bus bar,
which is then connected to the main
bus bar with one heavy gauge wire.
This greatly cuts down the amount of
negative wires running throughout the
boat.
A planned wiring upgrade or
even simply installing a new device
can be challenging enough. With basic
knowledge and electrical precautions,
it’s not hard to incrementally improve
any onboard electrical system to be
reliable and easily maintained. An
unplanned rewiring halfway around
the world, with no chandleries for
hundreds of miles, was an interesting
experience. As Totem makes her way
up lightning alley towards Thailand,
we really hope to avoid the smell of
ozone.

America’s Cup Attitude
After big competitions, it’s always clear why one team
was victorious. Often there is a turning point that makes the
difference. Over the long history of the America’s Cup, the final
result is rarely in question after the first race. The 2013 edition,
however, featured the ultimate emotional roller coaster ride
for both the challenger, Emirates Team New Zealand, and the
defender, Oracle Team USA.
By Gary Jobson
After the first three races it looked
as if New Zealand would easily walk
away with the regatta. But in the fourth
race, the American team served notice
that they would not go down easily.
Over the next two weeks, USA17
improved its boat speed and sailing
technique. After 12 days of sailing,
the score stood 8-1 in favor of New
Zealand. The Kiwis must have felt
good about it. They had a jet at the
airport ready to take the team back to
New Zealand for a victory celebration.
The defense skipper, Jimmy
Spithill, would have none of it. He
declared to the assembled press corps
that being down 8-1 was motivation.
He assured everyone that his team,
“…could win races.” He reasoned that
their design team would continue to
make changes to the boat and they were
confident of a turn around. I sat there
in the audience thinking that Spithill
would either be the next Joe Namath
who guarantied victory before the
Super Bowl and delivered, or he would
look like Y.A. Tittle on his knees in the
end zone after losing a championship
game. There would be no halfway.
A few weeks later I had the
opportunity to interview Jimmy
Spithill and his tactician, Ben Ainslie at
separate events. The Spithill interview
took place in front of 500 people and
was jointly hosted by Cruising World
magazine and the National Sailing Hall
of Fame in Annapolis. One week later
the Ainslie interview was hosted by
the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
at the San Francisco Yacht Club. Both
sailors talked about some very valuable
lessons that can apply to every human
endeavor. Both Super Star sailors said
when they were struggling, no one in
their camp got down on each other. The
attitude was simple, “How can I help
the team?” It is unclear why Oracle
Team USA was off the pace early in the
regatta but once the team got rolling
they made the biggest comeback in
sailing history.
While Spithill made a point of
announcing they were making “big
changes” each day, the fact is it was
many small adjustments that gave
USA17 its edge.
The turnaround started soon
after the first day of racing. The next
morning when the team showed up to
prepare for the competition, they found
the America’s Cup trophy sitting next
to the boat. It was a clever reminder of
what they were racing for.
The battle between the helmsmen,
Spithill and New Zealand’s Dean
Barker, was epic. Both skippers
won their share of starts, and made
their share of mistakes. It must have
been emotionally draining. In my
conversation with Spithill, he had
high praise for Barker and the New
Zealand crew. He pointed out they are
a very well polished sailing team. He
was particularly gracious to Barker. He
talked about how the two shared an
experience that was unique in sport.
For the New Zealand team, coming so
close should inspire them to continue
on and try again. New Zealand has
been in the America’s Cup Final five of
the last six times.
Sir Ben Ainslie is the most revered
athlete in Great Britain. He has won
four Gold and one Silver medal in
During the America’s Cup,
the verbal exchanges between
Ainslie and Slingsby were a
valuable lesson for every sailor.

the last five Olympic Games. At the
London Games last year, Ainslie found
himself in a deep hole early in the
regatta. It was a hard fight for him to
reach the top of the leader board. He
achieved victory on the final leg of the
last race. I asked him if that experience
gave him confidence that he could
help turn the fortunes of Oracle Team
USA. Ainslie (and Spithill too), made a
big point that it was a full team effort
including sailors, designers and shore
crew but there is no doubt that Ainslie
made a difference.
From my position on the water as a
commentator for NBC, I watched every
race closely. I did not see a tactical
error by Ainslie in any race that he
sailed. Ainslie has won his many world
championships and Olympic medals
in singlehanded classes. Also sailing
aboard USA17 was 2012 Olympic Gold
medal Laser champion Tom Slingsby.
Neither are used to talking during a
race. During the America’s Cup, the
verbal exchanges between Ainslie
and Slingsby were a valuable lesson
for every sailor. The conversations
were relaxed, to the point and always
positive.
There might have been some
bluster and psychology in Spithill’s
pronouncements
at
the
press
conferences,
but
his
powerful,
positive words certainly gave his team
encouragement.
What makes this America’s Cup
unique compared to any other sporting
event, is the use of onboard cameras
and microphones on the sailors during
the competition. Rarely do we get to
see the body language and listen to
the words of competitors in the battle
of their lives. The images broadcast
around the world were riveting. Other
sports would do well to learn from the
example set by the highly motivated
sailors in the 34th America’s Cup.

Installing an Anchor
Wash-Down System
Washing off the unwanted stuff on your anchor
and chain is not just an aesthetic concern; it will
keep the chain locker free from organic matter and
help preserve chain and shackles.
By Jack and Alex Wilken
Some months ago we wrote about
anchoring systems. A logical followup to that is a wash-down system for
cleaning the ground tackle as it comes
up from the depths. Companies that
manufacture pumps have for some
time marketed kits aimed at doing this
job. Here, we would like to elaborate
on the components that would go into
such a system and then explain how to
install them.
First, just a quick word about the
use of these systems. The ideal would
be to be able to wash all the uninvited
critters and free-loading bottom
material off before it arrives to the bow
roller. This can present some logistical
challenges. The first consideration is
whether you are alone on the foredeck
Figure 1: This system schematic shows
the components needed for a wash-down
system.
or if you have help.
‘Help’ means one of
you can manage the
wash-down
nozzle
while the other raises the anchor.
Raising the anchor can mean one of
three actions. The first is pulling it
up by hand, though not sure why we
say “by hand” when it is much more
your back that is put to work here.
The second is a manual windlass. That
would be you with a lever or handle,
not twelve able-bodied seamen
walking around a capstan. The third
is pushing a button or lever to bring
an electric or hydraulic windlass to
life and get everything back on board.
These actions can occupy your hands
completely, or, at least, keep you from
being able to wash-down effectively.
A wash-down system consists of
a water source, pump, deck fitting,
nozzle, and the hoses that connect
all the pieces together (Figure 1).
The choice of these components is a
starting place for the project. Then,
with the list in mind, find places to
mount them and choose the method
of installation you want to use. Keep
in mind that a fixed spray may be the
most desirable when your hands are
full but will be the least effective at
returning to the sea that which came
from the sea (Figure 2). Depending on
how you decide to plumb the system,
there is an article in the March 2011
issue about hose clamps that will aid
you. This job is one of those tasks that
require a bigger hammer; finesse will
not help much. So, a pump that puts
out more of everything—pressure
and flow—and larger inside diameter
plumbing are the way to go.
Figure 2: The use of a hose nozzle allows
you to control the flow of the water and
direct the water to where it will do the
best job.
The water source is going to be
raw water as most of us do not have
enough fresh water to spare. When
cruising, we encountered a beautiful
65’ ketch whose crew washed her
down with fresh water from her water
maker every day to avoid any salt
water finding its way between deck
paint and the aluminum deck. “Raw
water,” of course, can be salt, brackish,
or fresh depending on where your
boat is at that moment. It is going to be
supplied via a thru hull or skin fitting.
Thru hull fittings need to be installed
with a seacock that is secured to the
Figure 3: An existing thru hull fitting
can be used if it is an intake and you place
a non-return valve after the tee where the
new hose separates from the original hose.
hull according to ABYC standards.
You might want to watch this video:
www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_
embedded&v=l5ajZ3nfzzQ .
If you do not have a free thru hull
or do not want to haul out to install it
below the waterline, you might be able
to get double use from an existing one.
You cannot use an exhaust thru hull,
such as a sink drain, because it will
suck air, but you can use an intake. On
many boats there is a head forward, so
the WC intake is a natural. Do not forget
that a check or non-return valve will need
to be inserted in the hose after the tee. The
tee should be mounted in the hose, not
screwed onto the seacock (Figure 3).
The pump is the heart of the systemno pun intended. It pressurizes the
incoming water to give it the force that
is needed to dislodge everything from
the line and/or chain. The bigger the
pump the better. There are, of course,
trade-offs. A bigger pump means more
amps and higher initial cost. The type
of pump is important too. Positive
displacement pumps will provide the
balance between pressure and flow.
Another element which will aid in the
system’s function is a pressure switch.
Figure 4: This deck fitting will only let
the water pass when the hose with the
mating fitting is inserted.
This will allow the wash-down system
to function automatically on-demand.
No need for someone to turn a switch
on and off.
The deck fitting is an integral
part of the wash-down system. Our
recommendation is a socket that allows
flow only when the hose is plugged in
(Figure 4). This will allow you to mount
a second deck fitting so you can have
one position for a mounted nozzle and
then easily switch to a hand-held nozzle
that can be used to finish cleaning off

the anchor. You want that anchor to dig
in, but when it comes up covered with
mud, you need a solution.
Washing off all the unwanted
stuff is not just an aesthetic concern; it
will keep the chain locker from being
invaded by rotting organic matter,
mud that can clog drains, and remove
moisture that will corrode chain and
shackles. It is important to put an
intake strainer before the intake on the
pump because it is, after all, raw water.
When choosing a pump, a guideline
you can use is that the garden hose
on the dock is probably around 60
PSI, with a flow of 4 to 5 gallons per
minute. A word to the wise: when
using your new wash-down system
this winter, insulated rubber gloves,
like commercial fisherman use, will do
the trick because your hands are bound
to get wet. Happy cold weather sailing.
We hope to see you out there.

Docking
“The Big One”
By Dave McNeely
Going from 18-feet to 36-feet, everything was not just
twice as big but TEN times bigger. When I first stood in
the cockpit I thought I was on an aircraft carrier.
We had retired from Idaho where
we owned a small 18-foot Space Sailor.
It is a small boat but we had a good
complement of sails and had sailed her
for the last eight years in all kinds of
weather. We lived on Lake Pend Oreille
where the mountains cause all kinds of
wind currents. We could be on a broad
reach and all of a sudden the wind
would stop and my wind indicator
would start spinning around like a
merry-go-round. We went out when
we shouldn’t have and were knocked
down more than once taking water in
the cockpit.
We learned a lot on that little
boat but my dream was always to
have a bigger boat that I could sail in
the saltwater. The day finally arrived
when I could retire and move to
the Northwest. We bought a 36-foot
Columbia that had been very well
maintained in Anacortes. When we
first walked down the dock to inspect
our new craft I commented to my wife
how big it was. It was exactly twice as
long as our little 18-footer. But it was
much larger in every respect.
Our 18-foot boat weighed 4,000
pounds—this new boat weighed in
at 12,000 pounds. I could shift my
weight in our little boat and make it
move, but this new one would hardly
budge when four of us stepped on
board. Everything was not just twice
as big but 10 times bigger. When I first
stood in the cockpit I thought I was on
an aircraft carrier. I commented to the
sales guy that this boat seemed awfully
long. He said they all sail alike and we
should have no problems.
When the salesman took us for a
test sail, I took notice of how the boat
reacted when we pulled out of the slip.
It seemed like forever for us to make
that first left turn before we were out
into deeper water. My little boat was
quick but this new one was really slow
to react. I thought to myself, how in the
world would we be able to maneuver
in tight places?
The day finally came when we
were to move the boat from Anacortes
to Oak Harbor. We were thrilled,
scared, anxious, and daring all at the
same time. As I pulled away from the
dock I noticed I was all the way across
the causeway to the other boats before I
could clear the dock with the bow.
My wife was still having nightmares
about going through Deception Pass,
but that is another story. All went well
and I was approaching Oak Harbor
Marina where I had reserved a spot.
I noticed there was plenty of room
for me to turn the boat and got lined
up straight into my slip. My wife and
I had docked our small boat together
many times and we both had a system
down. With the small boat we would
both jump off the boat as we got to the
dock and she would take the bow line
and I would take the stern line and tie
us off. If the boat was moving a little bit
I would grab the stanchion and stop it.
As we approached our slip we both
got into position and my wife jumped
first. I then jumped over and grabbed
the stanchion because we were moving
a little bit too fast. Have you ever tried
to stop 12,000 pounds? It felt like I had
just grabbed onto a passing train and
said, “Whoa!” I was being dragged
down the dock like my anchor drags in
kelp. I was slipping and sliding around
like I was on ice skates. My wife was
yelling at me to stop the boat or we
were going to hit the dock. As the boat
kept moving her voice grew louder
and stronger as she yelled at me to
“Stop the boat!”
I dug my heals in like Spiderman
but that train just kept on going.
With all my strength I pulled on that
boat and was still pulling when it hit
the dock. Fortunately, we were now
moving pretty slow and no damage
was done except to my ego. I quickly
looked around to see if anyone was
looking but I was lucky this time.
Obviously, we have learned to
dock our boat more gracefully now,
and do not snicker when someone else
comes in a little hot and smacks their
bow on the dock.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea
Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
First things first: the orca, or killer whale, is
actually in the dolphin and porpoise family. Like us,
it’s a mammal with a spine, some hair and is the only
other species in which females go through menopause,
sometimes living decades after they’ve finished
breeding. Unlike us, they have highly developed
eyesight, great hearing and an elevated sense of touch.
In fact, their echolocation abilities help put this animal
at the top of the food chain in their world.
Like humans, “family” is what orcas are all about.
Unlike any other species we know about, offspring
live with their mothers their entire lives, and these
groups, called “matrilines,” create an exceptionally
stable group. Individual orcas only leave for a few
hours at a time to feed or mate. I wondered about
genetic inbreeding, but DNA tests show that resident
orca males nearly always mate with females from
other groups.
So, there are ‘matrilines’ with half a dozen orcas in
each one, and these groups are bonded with other pods
with a similar vocal language and maternal heritage
that are called “clans.” Bigger yet, sets of clans can get
together to commingle as large gatherings. This entire
structure is so similar to the way our society works
that it makes these creatures seem almost human and
deserve our utmost respect – something we haven’t
done very well with.

CROATIA
To sail in Croatia is to sail back in time, with towns not just hundreds of years old, but
thousands. 48° North, Sail Northwest and Seattle Sailing Club put together a flotilla
of 37 Northwest sailors to experience the multi-cultural influences of the Greeks,
Romans, Venetians, Turks and others on this captivating region.

Derek and Cindy aboard “Green Pepper,” a
Salona 34, leaving Vis.
It all started out innocently enough.
Sail Northwest had just picked up a
new line of boats, Salona Yachts, and
started talking about having a Seattle
Sailing Club flotilla to the islands of
the Croatian Dalmation Coast. Salona
Yachts has a charter operation in
Split and it was an ideal way to offer
club members a trip of a lifetime and
promote the new line of performance
cruising boats. Our friends at 48° North
suggested opening it up to everyone,
with the magazine being a principle
sponsor. The 48° North, Sail Northwest,
Seattle Sailing Club, Salona Yacht
Croatian Floatilla was born.
From the start we had no idea how
well a trip like this would be received.
I’ve been to Croatia a number of times
and absolutely loved the area, people
and especially the history. Half of the
Dalmatian Coast and islands seem to be
UNESCO World Heritage Sites dating
back thousands of years. Traveling the
islands felt like we were retracing the
steps of the Roman Emperor Diocletian,
builder of the palace in Split in the fifth
century, to Marco Polo (a Croatian
native), to Richard the Lion Hearted
on his way to and from the crusades.
This is quite the contrast from living
in North America where the oldest
buildings are less than 300 to 400 years
old.
Spearheading the Flotilla were Bob
and Vicki Ross from the Seattle Sailing
Club & Sail Northwest, Michael and
Joan Collins from 48° North and Bob
Arney from the Seattle Sailing Club.
Wow, 37 sailors made their way to
Croatia, sailing on eight Salona Yachts
ranging from 34 to 45 feet.
Our first night was a welcoming
dinner at our hotel, the Hotel Villa
Zarko, in the tiny enclave of Kastel
Luksic, in Kastela. Kastela is made
up of a number of these small castle
enclaves which through time have
joined forces to protect themselves from
invasion. Our group rented the entire
hotel, who catered a great welcoming
meal of traditional Croatian Stew and
local fish. This was capped off with
complimentary Grappa for everyone.
The sales manager for Salona Yachts
and the lead engineer joined us and
were available for questions about the
area and the boats. A short word about
the Hotel Villa Zarko, it is a 16-room
hotel with the best staff of any hotel
I’ve stayed in. They always had a smile
on their faces, and the meals were
exceptional. I would recommend this
establishment to anyone.
Our first day on the boats started
literally where they were built. Twenty
four of us went to the Salona Yachts
boatyard to see how they were built.
Salona builds 40 to 60 yachts a year
from 33 to 60 feet. We got to see and
number of projects in varying stages
of construction. A completed new 33’,
35’, which just had her keel attached, a
38’ and a Sydney 43, with the interiors
being assembles and the queen to
the fleet hull # 1 Salona 60, were all
available for us to walk through with
the guidance of the engineering staff
explaining the what’s and why’s of
the Salona boat building method. Two
of the most impressive construction
details are the resin infused hulls
Kathy, Vicky and Kim sharing helming
duties aboard “White Dust.”

and the stainless steel grid systems.
Together they make up one of the
strongest and robust production boats
built today.
By noon we were being checked out
on the boats and everyone was off for
their first night on the boats. The fleet
split with some going to Milna, Hvar
or Maslinica, all protected anchorages
in great towns with good food and
protected moorages. Everywhere we
stern tied/Med moored up against the
quay, usually close to town and within
walking distance.
The fleet spent six nights in the
islands off of Split. Every town was
unique, yet had that ancient town feel,
and I mean ancient; from 500 to 1500
years old.
Komiza, on the island of Vis, was
reached on the second night, after a
20 mile close reach in 20-30 knots of
wind. The fleet of eight yachts did
remarkably well with boats showing
different heavy air strategies; from
double reefed mains and reefed jibs to
full mainsails only. Komiza’s highlight
has to be Saint Nikola Church, built
upon old Roman ruins.
The town of Vis, one of our favorites,
was first settled by the Greeks in the
fourth century. The sail was an easy jog
and motor to the large bay and town.
Unfortunately, we missed snorkeling
at the Blue and Green caves on the
way due to the left over chop from the
blow the day before. Walking around

these old towns was very enjoyable,
with coffee shops, restaurants and food
stands. We purchased homemade olive
oil (ours had a wonderful peppery
flavor), wine, cheeses and sausages.
Every day we would stop at these
stands and stock up for the next day’s
lunch.
Most of the fleet sailed to Hvar
on the island of the same name. It’s
a great port with night life in the old
town rivaling most any in Europe. The
town is capped by the Spanish Fortress
dating back to the 13th century. The
climb up the steps and hillside were
well worth the view of the town and
harbor below. This strategic town is
replete with culture, with museums,
theaters, sculpture, paintings and
music.
Stari Grad, Old Town, is as
protected a town as one will find. At
the entrance to the bay are a number
of great anchorages for lunch and
swimming or staying the night, but the
town was not to be missed. It sits at the
end of a long narrow bay originally
settled between 3,500 and 2,500 BC. It
has been ruled by the Greeks, Romans,
Venetians and finally was conquered
by the Turks, who burned the town
down in 1271. The town was rebuilt
in the 17th and 18th centuries and today
looks much the same as it did then.
Some of our group even stayed for a
second night in Stari Grad, instead of
sailing on to the Bol.
The second to the last night of
the trip found boats in a variety of
favorite towns; Stari Grad, Bol, Milna,
and Maslinica, before the last day’s
sail back to the charter base, where
the fleet spent the last night together
at the charter marina sharing stories,
wine and left over food for a great
potluck before shoving off for further
adventures. Some flew home but many
continued on to other adventures in
Croatia, central Europe, Switzerland
and Germany. Some planned on
spending quite a bit more time in
Europe and are, in fact, still there as
you read this.
This trip to Croatia was a trip of a
lifetime and one we hope to do again—

TInvitational Cup is over, and the
Seattle rounds the
windward mark.
he 2013 New York Yacht Club
event was spectacular in many ways.
For the Sail Team Seattle sailors, it
was the culmination of 13 months of
planning, training, racing, and working
hard to solve the new boat, sails, race
course, and to prepare a challenge to
compete against the 19 other teams
from 13 countries in evenly matched
one-design boats.
The race team was Andrew Loe,
Jay Renehan, Bates McKee, Scott Smith,
Eric Dorman, Brian Pistay, Matt Pistay,
Darrin Towe, Josh Larsen, Teddy Weaver
and Tim Fetsch. They had several great
races, and with five races to go, had
moved up to fourth in the standings,
only 12 points from first, but a couple
of mediocre finishes dropped Sail Team
Seattle to seventh, and when the final
day had no racing, due to inconsistent
wind, that was how it ended.
The Cup was also the scene of a
gathering of Seattle Yacht Club members
at the New York Yacht Club - Harbor
Court Station, like no one has seen
before. The group was visible with
Seattle Team colors and burgee-wear,
and filled the hospitality tent and
spectator boats all week. When Sail
Team Seattle was announced at the
final banquet, the 50+ Seattle fans, and
the friends they had made in Newport,
gave a cheer that set a new decibel level
for the NYYC party tent!
The team is enthusiastic about
returning to the Invitational Cup in
2015, and plans are already under way
to compete in the 2014 Qualifying Series,
which will require the team to place top
3 to qualify for the 2015 Invitational Cup.
The effort was the result of the
financial contributions of Seattle Yacht
Club members, the Seattle Yacht Club
Foundation, the magazine sponsors,
and the Jamestown Boatyard in
Newport who provided the coach boat
for three training events and moorage.

Sail Sand Point
Octoberfest
G
reeted by heavy rain and a building
southerly breeze, 111 youth sailors
from all over the Northwest arrived at
Sail Sand Point on Lake Washington for
the final regatta of the 2013 Northwest
Youth Racing Circuit. As sailors arrived
and begun to rig the 103 Lasers, Flying
Juniors and Optimist dinghies, the
beach and docks quickly became choked
with wet boats and sailors ready to test
their skills in the challenging conditions
on the lake.
On Saturday, after a 10:30 am
competitors meeting with PRO Kevin
Cunningham, the intermediate and
advanced sailors began heading out
to the main course, while the novice
(green) fleet stayed on land for a chalk
talk with Jon Edwards and Molly Utter.
The novice sailors all had a great time
over the weekend, spending most of
their time running short races close to
shore, and taking plenty of snack breaks!
Out on the main course, the hardest
challenge was the upwind beat nearing
the windward mark, sailing directly into
the huge shifting puffs coming over and
around Sand Point. The stinging rain
made it even harder to look upwind and
anticipate these puffs. The downwind
beat did not offer much respite as tired
sailors encountered a few puffs that
capsized even the most veteran sailors.
The majority of the boats completed
at least one race, but as the day wore
on, only a few sailors remained to duke
it out on the course. Sailors that went
in early were greeted by warm drinks
and food prepared by SSP’s team of
volunteers. Once everyone was off the
water and derigged they were treated
to a delicious salmon dinner and music
on the pier. It was the perfect end to a
long day on the water!
In the many years that I have
coached and sailed at SSP I cannot
remember a day where it was gusting in
the mid 20s and raining constantly, and
so heavily, the entire time. Our weather
station measured 1.4 inches of rain that
day! It is a huge accomplishment for
all the novice and intermediate sailors
who were able to get out on the water
in these tough conditions.
On Sunday, the wind stayed quite
constant through the second day of the
regatta (12-15 mph with gusts in the
mid-20s), but thankfully the heavy rain
let up. Racing conditions were just as
challenging, with many capsizes prior
to and during the first race. Again the
green fleet had a fun day with Jon and
Molly as many of the Opti sailors who
were having trouble on the main course
joined up with the green fleet to run
some very exciting races close to shore.
Sailors were off the water at 2:00 pm for
awards, soup, and hot chocolate. Even
though it was a cold and wet weekend,
Octoberfest 2013 was a huge success for
everyone who competed and helped
out. Succeeding in, or just surviving
the uncharacteristic sailing conditions
at SSP, was the highlight of the fall for
many of these aspiring young racers.
Big thank you's go out to all the
volunteers and parents who made this
event possible. This event could not
have happened without you and all
your hard work.

Ladies and Gentlemen…Hoist Your
Anchors! The Gig Harbor Lemans Race
is truly one of the most fun races held
on Puget Sound each year and features
a unique start. At the preparatory
signal, all boats are at anchor in the
starting area with crews below decks.
At the starting signal, crews scramble
topside to weigh anchor, raise sails, and
squirm out the mouth of Gig Harbor
to a turning mark in Colvos Passage
before returning to the finish inside Gig
Harbor. Many spectators line the shores
to watch the action. A terrific post-race
party, complete with video of the day’s
action caps off this outstanding event.
If you haven’t participated in this race,
you really should. It will easily become
your favorite event of the year.

Corinthian Yacht Club
Puget Sound Sailing Championships
Small Boats
the end of the Pacific Northwest’s
Atcompetitive
sailing season, sailors
are treated to The Corinthian Yacht
Club of Seattle’s Puget Sound Sailing
Championships. PSSC is the premier
championship series of the Puget Sound
and takes place over two consecutive
weekends. The first weekend is dedicated
to Small Boat one-design competition
and it brings together some of the
most competitive catamaran, dinghy,
skiff and keel boat classes from across
the region. Set among the challenging
inshore waters of Shilshole Bay, this
year’s racing offered perfect fall
sailing conditions with sunshine,
unique tidal conditions and just
enough breeze to keep things
interesting.
Four diverse fleets and as
many as 40 boats gathered over
the weekend bringing to life the
docks near the CYC clubhouse
and the waters of Shilshole Bay.
The fleets that gathered for this
year’s PSSC Small Boat included
the Laser, F18, Snipe and the
J/24. The J/24 fleet competitors
would be competing in not only
their district championships, but
would also be vying for a berth
in the J/24 2014 Worlds in Rhode
Island. Among the Laser fleet
this year would be a unique sail

configuration, the burgeoning Rooster
8.1 one-design rig. Designed for sailors
over 198 pounds and compatible with
the Laser hull, the Rooster rig could be
seen among a third of the fleet.
The J/24 fleet saw close racing
the entire weekend with the greatest
action in Sunday’s freshening breeze.
Against unpredictable winds and strong
tidal currents, Harry Dursch aboard
his J/24 Self Abuse would hold off the
competition to take the Seattle district
championship title just a few points
ahead of Scott Milne’s Tremendous
Slouch. While each fleet definitely
had their top contenders, for the
swift F18 fleet, it was anybody’s
regatta going into day two. Brian
Hunt’s Canadian entry Team Storm
would be hot on the heels of Todd
Christensen’s Shrek3. Maya Tatuch
would have a stellar day on her
F18 Catnip giving Brian and Todd a
run for their money as she earned
three straight bullets to wrap up
Sunday’s racing. With 12 boats
racing, even the Laser fleet was
too close to call.
The PSSC Small Boat Regatta
served as a fitting finale to the
Puget Sound small boat racing
season. The regatta also served as
the official end to the J/24 racing
season. Based out of Leschi, on
Lake Washington, the J/24’s, with an
average of 25 to 30 boats racing each
Tuesday evening, saw a season of light
winds, and very close competitive
sailing. The Seattle J/24 Fleet, number 26,
is one of the strongest fleets in the United
States. It is a rarity to have the level of
competition and the consistency of race
management that sailors experience on
a nightly basis each and every season.
As the last sailboat was hauled out on
Sunday; a season of camaraderie, fun
and great sailing flashed by with a smile.

Puget Sound Sailing Championships
Large Boats
y the Wednesday before this year’s
B
big boat Puget Sound Sailing
Championships, the forecast was
looking pretty dismal. After a couple
weeks of what looked like our fallwinter season of strong southerlies
setting in, things settled down to a
mere trickle of breeze which would
fall short of scattering
dandelion seeds. Wind
vanes sat listlessly in
Shilshole Bay, carpet
was scarce beyond the
breakwater, and without
any windchill, the kids
were still playing in
the water at Golden
Gardens. By Saturday,
however, in the usual
shifty, unpredictable
fashion of how the wind
is actually going to make
its way through the
Puget Sound, we found
ourselves heading out to
pleasantly find that the
same newly predicted
10-15kt northerly had
actually filled in for what
Above: Northwest sailors enjoyed two days
of fantastic sailing!

and “Absolutely” rounding the mark.
would be not one, but two, days of
fantastic sailing. This was confirmed by
the smell of campfires while leaving the
breakwater - swimming had turned to
fraternizing in welcomed heat and we
were all smiles as the carpet extended
as far north past Edmonds as anyone
could see.
Split into a north and
south course, 62 boats
ventured out including
four one-design classes
between the two for some
extremely competitive
racing overall in both
these and PHRF fleets.
Saturday’s first race
started at the end of a
sizeable flood, creating
a challenging current
environment especially
for the south course
boats, with the north
course racking their
brains wondering, will
the beach pay? If it
doesn’t pay this race,
will it pay the next?
Or the next, as the tide
changes? Luckily, there were five races
in which to decide, with the south course
completing a exhausting seven of them
with two expert race committees getting
everyone back to the docks, tired,
sore, and happy, at reasonable times
nonetheless. Even a sailor, moonlighting
as a mathematician, would have a hard
time keeping track of overall points
for the day. Many fleets were slated
to go into Sunday as a free-for-all with
everyone, given another day of steady
wind, having a good chance at either
holding a lead or redeeming themselves.
Several boats led their classes from the
start and cruised into a nicely padded
lead by the end of the first day. On the
south course this was the case for Brad
Butler’s Dos, Ben Braden’s ‘borrowed’

some close, exciting battles left to play

a mission” would accomplish on the
second day.
On the north course it was Chris
Tutmark’s newest addition to the Farr30
fleet, Patricia, Brad Cole’s Ballistic, and
Jerry Diercks’ Delirium stepping out
front as the points racked up.
After another round of mid-regatta
festivities at the club, complete with
fine culinary indulgences and enough
Gosling’s to go around for the Dark
and Stormy’s, the first day’s excitement
would end with much anticipation as to

what Sunday would bring to, and for,
the racecourse.
Sunday saw some lighter breeze,
but still enough for the same round
of clockwork repetitive racing for
another five races for both courses.
Most leaders from the day before
covered for the overall win, with the
most significant comeback coming from
Denny Vaughan’s Bravo Zulu, pulling
off three bullets on the final day to jump
from a 5th place on Saturday to win the
regatta. The N5 PHRF class on the north
course ended 10 races for the weekend
with a one, yes, one point spread across
the podium with Gaucho just sneaking
ahead of Slick and Here & Now, with 2nd
place going to Slick in the tiebreaker.
If that’s not tight racing, well. . . folks,
that’s tight racing. And by clockwork
repetitive racing, I mean that barely a

spinnaker tape had been ran or a beer
drank before the jib was going right up
again with all hands on deck, calling
for not only a physically demanding
weekend, but a mental challenge in
staying focused and calling on energy
reserves while muscles are begging for
a hot tub before the day even began.
“Okay, good job everyone, jib down”...
“Anyone need a water?”... “Do we need
to adjust the rig?”... “There’s a flag
up”...“Wait - it’s OUR flag - jib up!! Jib
up!!” Pretty much sums up this year’s
large boat PSSC, otherwise knows as

work to recover before the next regatta.

Rolex
Big Boat Series
The Rolex Big Boat Series hosted by
the St Francis Yacht Club (StFYC) in San
Francisco, California is the West Coast’s
premier regatta. Attracting sailors from
across the United States and the world,
the Big Boat Series traditionally offers
competitors heavy winds and strong
currents. The 2013 Big Boat Series
would be unique, having followed
the epic America’s Cup at the end of
September; the wind conditions would
be light, making current the controlling
challenge.
Among the 107 teams racing, 13
would be racing under IRC handicap
and 76 would be racing in One-Design
fleets. The three IRC divisions would
include the TP52s and a variety of very
fast custom sleds. The newly formed
HPR division which included the
J/125s, Farr 36, Farr 400 and the swift
McConaghy 38 would have a total of
8 competitors. The remaining teams
in the swift Multihull ToT division
rounded out the fleet and even included
the impressive MOD 70 catamaran for
show.
The One-Design fleets of the Big
Boat Series included the J/120, Express
37 and the J/105 with the second largest
One-Design fleet of 22 boats. For the
first time in the Regatta’s 49 year history
boats less than 30 feet would be allowed
including the Melges 24 and the J/70.
Pacific Northwest boat guru Andy
Schwenk was on hand racing with Mark
Nelsen aboard the J/70 Sugoi.
The highlighted One-Design
fleet of the regatta would be the
Melges 24 with 35 teams racing in
their Pre-Worlds. Countries such as
the US, Canada, Germany, Denmark,
Australia, Italy, Switzerland, Norway,
Ireland, Bermuda, Japan and Chile
would be represented. Five teams
from the northwest would be in
attendance to prep for the Worlds and
mix it up with the highly competitive
International fleet. From the Northwest,
Manfred Schmiedl’s Brio and Kevin
Welch’s Mikey would each be eager to
compete after a full season of tuning
in the northwest. Also representing the
Pacific Northwest would be Dunnery
Best’s Sheva and Duncan Stamper’s
Goes to Eleven both from Vancouver,
B.C.. Josh Larsen, crewing aboard Brio,
recalled after day one that the level of
competition was extreme with lots of
close calls among the 35 boats racing.
San Francisco Bay is a unique locale
to hold a competitive multi-day regatta.
The race venue, with the city of San
Francisco to the south, beautiful Marin
County to the north, Alcatraz Island
right in the middle and the amazing
Golden Gate Bridge to the west, offers
a stunning panorama. The StFYC’s
primary race officer and race committee
performed a top-notch job in organizing
the best courses for the challenging
conditions each day.
For the first three days of the regatta,
the PRO held two races each day for
each division among four possible
courses. Slightly unusual for the Bay
in September, the clear warm mornings
would generate a light easterly breeze
that would take most of the morning to
shift and build into the teens from the
west. Aboard Greg Slyngstad’s J/125
Hamachi, our northwest crew knew we
had our work cut out for us to build our
boat handling and crew work to par with
our competitors to win the inaugural
HPR National Championship. With
even starts and matched upwind
performance, we were well on our
way. Exhilarating downwind runs with
boat speed in the upper teens would
definitely raise the fun factor. Our
teamwork increased exponentially as
the regatta progressed, but would be
no match for Seattle’s Brian Ledbetter
as tactician aboard the Bay Area’s local
favorite, J/125 Double Trouble.
On the fourth and last day of the
regatta was the “Bay Tour,” a single race
that travels to multiple marks across the
Bay and includes a multitude of runs,
reaches and upwind legs. While we
toured the Bay, the under 30 fleets would
have the fortune of an additional 8th
race. During the last race of the regatta,
the fleet was spread across the Bay under
the sun with winds in the teens. As we
all converged on the StFYC finish line
for our last horn, day four was a fitting
end to a truly fantastic regatta.

on her but there’s a great satisfaction that comes of it.

today. She can take you anywhere in the world and is
waiting for the chance. Call or email Charley for details:

swiftsure yachts the logbook for November 2013
When JACA’s present owner (former general manager of a major
East Coast boatyard you’ve undoubtedly heard of) sought a well
built and comfortable platform for exploring Alaska and British
Columbia, he selected a Waterline 45. Built in steel by talented
craftsmen in Sidney, B.C., these custom-built, raised-salon cruisers are top quality. JACA
is the fourth Waterline Yachts blue water cruiser we’ve listed in the past two years.
Each has proven to be an impressively conceived and constructed cruising vessel, often
exceeding the expectations of the most discerning buyers. JACA’s maple interior is
impeccably fitted, her systems are cleanly installed, her coating system (beginning with
flame-sprayed zinc) is second to none, and she is designed for fast, comfortable and easy
long-term live-aboard cruising.
