Racers Without Current PHRF Certificates
Being Awarded Finishes
There has been concern about boats racing without valid
PHRF certificates. This was voiced by Robert King at the
Annual Meeting of PHRF on January 29, 2012. Below is his
presentation, followed by a rebuttal letter from Shelly Conti of
Three Tree Point Yacht Club outlining some of the difficulties in
verifying every entrant’s certificate at the time of race.
Both have very valid points: Boats racing with a PHRF
rating should have a valid certificate to ensure up-to-date
information and to help support the sport. In a sport that’s
been known for fair play, a race committee shouldn’t have to
investigate further after an entrant has checked the box saying
they do have a certificate.
For those who are occasional racers, just doing their club’s
beer can races, arrangements are made in the club so they can
participate. But, for the major races which are PIYA sanctioned,
where people are traveling all over Puget Sound and beyond, a
current PHRF certificate is required. If you are in doubt of the
status of your certificate, go to http://phrf.intransport.com/

Presentation to PHRF Board
Annual Meeting, January 29, 2012
Robert T. King, Former Fleet Captain Race,
Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle
The motive for my presentation is to bring to your
attention an ongoing problem existing within our Pacific
Northwest sailing community. Therein, we compete under
the auspices of PHRF NW. From the PHRF NW website, I
quote the following:
“The prime objective of PHRF NW is to promote sailboat
racing in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia by
maintaining an equitable system of handicap ratings of member
boats for use at yacht clubs and other sponsors of sailboat races.”
•PHRF NW is an affiliate member of US Sailing.
•Membership in PHRF-NW is necessary for obtaining a
valid PHRF-NW handicap rating certificate.
•To obtain a Rating Certificate, one should apply through
your local yacht or sailing club, or by direct application to
PHRF-NW.
•Directors provide the leadership and policy oversight for
the overall direction in which proceeds.
•The best sources of information about PHRF-NW should
be the local yacht club PHRF-NW Handicapper and/or
Director, the people who are the “connection” to PHRFNW at the local club racing level.
The issue at hand:
Members from PHRF NW, CYCE, CYC Seattle,
and SYC, have voiced a common concern related to
approximately 13 boats that were not listed as “Active
members” in PHRF NW (lack of current Rating Certificate)
Letters
Letters
who were allowed to register, compete, and given
“preliminary” finish places in the 2012 Duwamish Head
Race hosted by Three Tree Point Yacht Club.
Awarding illegitimate finish places has materially
prejudiced other boats that sailed legitimately, in
compliance with the Racing Rules of Sailing. In this instance:
•PHRF NW has issued Certificates,
•Certificates indicate the date that a Member becomes
Active,
•PHRF NW has documented the noncompliant boats,
•TTPYC has been informed of the noncompliant boats.
It is my present understanding that the hosting yacht
club may have disregarded RRS 78.1
“A boat’s owner and any other person in charge shall ensure
that the boat is maintained to comply with her class rules and
that her measurement or rating certificate, if any, remains valid.”
My understanding is that RRS 78.1 cannot be
disregarded, or modified by a hosting yacht club.
If the hosting yacht club has disregarded RRS 78.1,
the proper course of action needs to be determined, at an
administrative level, within the hierarchy of organizations
and concerned individuals governing our sport, including:
•US Sailing
•PIYA
•PHRF NW (Officers, Directors Handicappers, and Members)
•Yacht Clubs (Race or Series Chairpersons, Principal Race Officers)
•Competitors
My opinion is that the hosting yacht club must verify
that a PHRF NW Member is “Active” and in possession
of the proper rating or measurement documentation
(Rating Certificate) prior to accepting a boat’s entry in a
competition.
My thoughts are as follows:
•The opinion(s) of US Sailing, ISAF, and/or PIYA
representative(s) should be requested,
•The hierarchy (authority) within the relevant
organization(s) should be determined,
•By, and within the determined hierarchy, specific
procedural and remedial courses of action should be
ascertained,
•Repercussions for non-compliant yacht clubs and
vessels should be pre-determined by the appropriate
administrative body,
•Decisive action should be taken, when required, by the
appropriate administrative body.
Absent the above, it becomes obligatory for concerned
individuals to become involved. I have a strong opinion as
to potential remedies for this instance:
•TTPYC should take responsibility for allowing
noncompliant vessels to participate in the 2012
Duwamish Head Race
•TTPYC should entreat every non-compliant vessel to
withdraw voluntarily, or face protest and DSQ.
•Failing an honorable (voluntary) withdrawal, the TTPYC
Duwamish Head Race Committee should:
Protest the respective vessels
Hear the protests
Let the ‘facts found’ determine the action required.
Failing the above actions by the hosting yacht club•
Noncompliant participants become subject to protest
A competitor (or, competitors) may protest the noncompliant vessels
A competitor (or, competitors) may protest the TTPYC
Race Committee. Caveat:
The Class and Overall results are presently in public
domain, indicated as PRELIMINARY.
Although protests are usually time-sensitive, it is
my understanding that protests can be lodged upon the
discovery of ‘new information’. E.g., the issuance of Final Results by TTYC and/or 2012
South Sound Series Results. SUMMARY:
I believe that the Racing Rules of Sailing are intended
to protect competitors and organizers alike. In bona
fide events, organizers require certain criteria to be met.
Competitors are required to sign Entry Forms; thereby, they
attest that their documentation (Rating Certificate, Proof of
Liability Insurance, Safety Compliance, etc.) is current.
Consider the hypothetical disregard of safety
requirements, or insurance requirements; these topics are
prevalent in the RRS, the Notice of Race, and/or the Sailing
Instructions in any sanctioned event. Imagine the negative
repercussions, potential liability, and chaos that would
descend upon organizers and competitors alike, were the
aforementioned requirements disregarded.
At present, it appears that a number of the allegedly
noncompliant boats were awarded finish positions in the
TTPYC Duwamish Head Race. Therefore, many other boats
have suffered material prejudice in both Class and Overall
standings. Collateral damage is a negative affect on the Series; this
impinges upon the credibility of all the co-hosting yacht
clubs of the South Sound Series.
Ultimately, this type of race mismanagement affects the
credibility of our sport. It is imperative that we as organizers and competitors
uphold the fundamentals of our sport.
Therein lays the reason that I am here, before you,
today.
Thank you for your audience,
Robert T. King

There have been some complaints over the running of
the 2012 Duwamish Head race that I would like to clear up.
Despite what you may have heard, no one was disqualified
from the Duwamish Head Race. Let me set the record
straight.
First, I would like to remind everyone that the prime
objective of Three Tree Point YC and the Southern Sound
Series is to run a professional and enjoyable race to help
promote sailboat racing.
Second, I would like to state the policy of the Southern
Sound Series:
It is not the policy of the Southern Sound Series to
check for PHRF membership more than asking the racer to
sign that they are current on entering. We take them at their
word.
Our policy is to verify the handicaps given to us by the
racers. We check the handicap on the entry against the web
site for PHRF boats, and the Cruising class handicapper for
those boats. We use the handicap we get from the authority
rather than the one the racer gives us. If they have no
handicap we can verify, we cannot score them.
A racer who thinks that some boat raced without being
a current PHRF member, or a member of a PIYA club for
that matter (also a requirement), is free to protest said boat
or, ask for redress if they feel their placing in the race was
adversely effected. This is in the Racing Rules of Sailing
and their responsibility; ours is a self policing sport.
Third, we usually have around 30 boats register the
Friday night before the race. Late registrations are taken
until 9:00am the morning of the race. It has not been
possible to confirm all boat handicaps due to timing and
processing renewals at the PHRF offices by start time. This
forces the final checking of ratings until after the race.
Because Duwamish Head is the first race of the year,
in the process of checking handicaps, if we see that a boat
is not on the list as current we let them know, so they can
straighten out the situation with PHRF. In most cases, when
boats realize that they are not up to date, they correct the
problem right away. If they do not, we cannot score them
without a handicap.
In conclusion, it seems contrary to our goal of
promoting sailboat racing, to have boats that put all the
time and effort to come race in the middle of winter, to not
be scored in a race because of processes which are out of
their control. After all, we are trying to promote racing, not
discourage it.
TTPYC will be adding a banner/note to have everyone
check with PHRF to make sure that they are current for
the new year in the Duwamish Head Notice of Race for
2013 and beyond. Racers, please help us by renewing your
PHRF membership early.

Everyone Reads 48° North
In December, 2011 issue, I wrote a “Letter to the
Editor,” requesting that you print the letter along with a
photograph of a beautiful red boat, named Hook. I was
looking for the skipper of Hook so I could offer to share
some photos I took of it in action last summer. Believing
that everyone reads your magazine, I hoped that he would
see the photo and respond. I was right -- everyone does
read 48° North! Shortly after you published the letter, with
the photo in a large format, “Captain Hook” responded,
saying “Yes” he would like to see the photos. His wife also
responded separately, asking me NOT to respond to him!
She wanted to surprise him at Christmas with the photos!
So we secretly conspired to make it happen. I sent her 10 of
my best shots by email. She had one transferred to canvas
at a photography shop. I also put them all on a CD and
mailed it to her. All without Captain Hook’s knowledge! When I didn’t respond to his email I think he was a little
irritated, so he emailed me again. His wife and I decided
to throw him off the trail by sending a few of the photos,
not great shots. He was very pleased, and she successfully
surprised him on Christmas with the photo on canvas and
the CD of all the photos! It was great fun being a part of
this Christmas gift, all made possible because you printed
my letter with the great blowup which clearly identified
Captain Hook. On behalf of all of us, I would like to
express our gratitude to your magazine for assisting in
making a great Christmas story!!

I respond to a letter to the editor, Feb. 2012 issue
regarding the “proposed pipeline across BC.” This is a
complex issue, but the short of it is that many, on both sides
of the border, agree as to why this is happening. There are
those to the north who would suggest to those to the south
they get their house in order as one possible way to resolve
what they perceive as a problem. I refrain from making
criticisms unless I have a resolution to offer and if yours is
to continue to buy from countries who despise your very
existence, then shame on you. To this person, it starts with
you. Of course I make an assumption that you have not
yet given up your car for a bike or your boat motor for a
paddle.
My problem is not with this persons right to give an
opinion, it’s with you guys giving it an upfront platform
with full color without providing the pro(s) on an issue
we all know is extremely controversial. In my book, this is
reprehensible and you especially should know this. Unless
of course you have decided to become political.
Bart Blainey
Victoria, BC
We appreciate the letter from Talia Goeke as we hadn’t heard
much about the pipeline plans in BC, as it relates to tanker
traffic. I don’t think it’s much of a political statement to say that
“it should make for quite a risk/reward debate, with predictable
polarization.”
Many of our readers, like yourself, are from BC, but may
not have been aware of how this was progressing. Thanks for
supplying more informational websites so those concerned may
research this further. http://www.chamber.ca/images/uploads/

Couldn’t Get 48° North on iPad?
Now You Can!
Ryc Rienks, former contributor here. Many miles under
the keel since last we talked including a long stint in the
tropics. I used my iPad to access your magazine today and
could not get the latest issue as it requires Flash Player,
which is not available for iPad. Is the mag available in other
formats, such as PDF?
I was able to read a story from the archives with no
problem. Trying to download the full issue produced no
results.
I do note that Lat 38 is now available as an e-book.
I’m guessing that the transition to new formats is very
demanding of resources. Since we currently reside in
high mountain desert there is no local option for finding a
current issue.
I hope you are all well and prospering. The cover art
currently displayed on your website is great. Perhaps I
should submit a piece or two drawn from our experiences
at sea. Without the help from your mag and the great
information transmitted by your authors I might never
have crossed into the blue water nor sailed as well
prepared.

box of chocolates”
Many, many years ago, when I was
first thinking about buying a boat, I called
a broker and asked him how much a 30foot boat was. The silence on the other
end at once made me aware that I hadn’t
exactly asked a very informed question.
After a long pause, the broker was nice
enough to begin asking me questions and educate me a bit more on
what I really wanted out of a boat. After many years and miles under
the keel, I now truly appreciate his patience and understanding.
Fast forward to the present and I get a call from a very nice
fellow, asking me about a few boats which I’d sailed and my opinion
of them. Then, of course, the inevitable question, “Which boat would
you buy?” I immediately harkened back to my “information gathering
days,” so proceeded to ask him a bunch of questions and never really
gave a definitive answer.
To paraphrase the famous philosopher, Forest Gump, “Boats are
like a box of chocolates.” If you sort through them all, you’re bound
to find the one for you. But to find the right one, you need to ask some
realistic questions in choosing your boat. The operative word here is
“realistic.”
Racing boats seem a bit easier to choose; class, competition, or
just faster than everyone else that size. But are you really going to
train three times a week to be competitive in a hot one-design class, or
is it just fun racing once a week to enjoy the competition in like boats
with some friends?
Cruising boats, on the other hand, have such a wide spectrum
that it gets a bit more personal. There’s everything from the family
station wagon for two week vacations and fun locally, to full blown
bluewater cruisers – a personal platform for following the wakes of
Joseph Conrad and Joshua Slocum.
So, the prime question is, “What are you realistically going to do
with your boat?” An honest answer will help you pick the right size
and type of boat that will best fit your needs. Instead of picking a boat
for family and friends to enjoy once in a while, pick one that you will
enjoy all the time.
Okay, having said all this, many, if not most boat buying
decisions hinge on rather non-logical reasons like color or esthetics.
I know when I bought our boat, I laided down in the forepeak, then
sat up, looked around and said, “This is the boat that I’d like to wake
up on.” Not too scientific, but then neither is choosing a chocolate
covered cherry over a caramel.

State Parks Mandatory Boater Education Program
Reaches 100,000th State Boater Education Card Issued
The Washington State Boating
Programs has reached a milestone in its
mandatory boater education program,
issuing card number 100,000.
To urge boaters to get educated and
learn to be safer on the water, the State
Parks Boating Programs partnered with
the Seattle Seahawks to promote the
Washington Boater Education Card.
The promotion was to reward the
100,000th boater card recipient with a
Seattle Seahawks VIP game package.
David Eckols is the 100,000th boater
card recipient. Mr. Eckols wins four field
access passes and four tickets to a 2012
Seahawks game at Century Link Field.
Last year, the Boating Programs
recorded 17 boating fatalities, the lowest
number in ten years. According to
Washington State Parks Director, Don
Hoch, educated boaters are less likely
to be involved in boating accidents than
non-educated boaters.
“Since the program started in 2008
we have had an outstanding compliance
rate,” says Hoch. “The great news is
that we are starting to see a reduction
in boating fatalities, property damage
and injuries. We hope this trend
continues.”
The mandatory education program
has been phased in, based on age, since
2008. This year, boaters ages 40 and
younger are required to have their boater
education card with them when boating
in Washington. The card requirement
for other age groups will be phased in
through 2014. Boaters born before Jan. 1,
1955, are exempt from the law. The boater
education card is a one-time requirement
and applies only to people operating
powerboats with motors greater than
15 horsepower.
To meet the education requirements,
boaters can take approved courses
in a classroom, online or at home.
Information is available online at
www.boatered.org or call (360) 902-8555.

Executive Director of Sail Sand Point receives the Marty Luray Award
US Sailing capped off its National
Sailing Symposium in Long Beach, CA
by honoring Morgan Collins, Executive
Director of Sail Sand Point, with the
prestigious Marty Luray Award. ‘The
Marty’ is named for Martin A. Luray,
who made his mark as an advocate
for community boating centers and
increasing the public’s access to sailing.
Each year the national award is presented
to a recipient who has made an
outstanding and unselfish contribution
to further public access to sailing. It turns
out that this year’s recipient Mr. Collins
has made many.
Award presenter and President of
US Sailing, Gary Jobson, described
Sail Sand Point’s passionate Executive
Director as someone who “lives and
breathes community sailing” with a
program philosophy of “think outside
the box and think big.” He noted that
under Mr. Collins leadership, Sail
Sand Point has grown into the largest
community sailing center in the Pacific
Northwest and is comprised of diverse
programs that include sailing classes,
family events, outrigger canoe and
stand up paddleboarding education,
and “adventure” and “cruising”
classes geared towards utilizing
the environment as an educational
platform. On a national level Mr. Collins
inspired the plan for US Sailing to create
the Community Sailing Sanctioning
Program which launched in mid-2011,
is a member of the Small Boat National
Faculty and is the 2012 Chair for the
Community Sailing Council.
Following Mr. Jobson’s introduction
and a standing ovation by the
symposium’s 250 attendees, Mr. Collins
gave a short, but touching speech which
he concluded by remarking that he was
humbled and thankful to be included
amongst the recipients of the award.
Only minutes after Morgan Collins
received the Marty Luray Award, Sail
Sand Point received even more good
news when Board Member Leslie Keller
won the symposium raffle drawing
for an Optimist Vapor donated by
US Sailing sponsor Laser Performance
and announced that she was donating
the boat to Sail Sand Point. The Optimist
Vapor will be used by the Sand Point
Opti Team, one of the community sailing
organization’s flagship programs.
While others might take a moment
to celebrate these remarkable and well
deserved achievements, Mr. Collins is
already looking ahead. “Do you think the
boat will arrive in time for the Stewart
Opti clinic?” Then he heads over to
a presenter to find out about adding
STEM education to sailing programs.
Over the last 13 years, SSP has
created sailing and small boat programs
for youth and adults from the greater
Seattle area. SSP is focused particularly
on youth and the development of lifelong
skills of sailing and personal qualities of
character, leadership and the awareness
of environment.

A Star to Sail Her By,
is written by a high school
student. This memoir captures
one family's remarkable sailing
journey that encompassed five
years and more than 25,000
nautical miles.
In 2003, the Ellison family
embarked on what they
thought would be a one-year
voyage on their 47' sloop,
Promise. Five years and more
than 25,000 nautical miles later, the
family of four returned to the US.
In this memoir, author
Alex Ellison chronicles his
family's adventures on the
seas. Culled from a detailed
daily journal that Ellison
began keeping at the onset of
the voyage when he was just
eight years old, A Star to Sail
Her By reveals his transition
from enthusiastic child to
capable sailor and reflective
young adult. He learned two
important lessons as they traveled from
port to port: not everything always works
Patrick, a civil engineer, and
Heather, a legal secretary, decided on a
change of lifestyle. After building their
42' fiberglass sailboat in their garden in
three years, cruising and racing it for a
while, they departed for a trip to French
Polynesia with their two children,
Jeremy, 16, and Erica, 12.
They harbour-hopped down the
Californian and Mexican coasts to
Manzanillo, crossed the South Pacific,
visiting the Marquesan Islands, Tuamotu
atolls, Tahiti and the Society
Islands. Departing from Bora
Bora, they headed back north
visiting the Hawaiian Islands
and, for a temperature change,
continued north and into
Glacier Bay, Alaska before
returning to Vancouver. This
is a story of meeting people
and their hospitality, exciting
new experiences interwoven
with the challenge of crossing
the way it should, and change is really
the only thing you can count on.
In this detailed narrative, Ellison
describes how he and his family feasted
with local hosts on remote atolls, danced
with hula girls, plummeted down a
tube of coral due to fierce currents, and
navigated natural minefields in atolls.
He learned what it means to conserve,
to be brave, and what it means to value
the very gift of life.

Galley Essentials with Amanda
“A Visit to Tanna Coffee”
by Amanda Swan Neal
While in Vanuatu on a break between
sail training expeditions, John and I
decided to escape busy Port Vila and
sail nine miles north to Mele Bay where
a wonderful black sand beach surrounds
Hideaway Island Resort, a marine
sanctuary and the friendly Mele Village.
On our morning runs along the beach
and adjourning roads we enjoyed warm
greetings from the locals as they travelled
to their gardens and work and school. As
Vanuatu was previously jointly governed
by France and England, schools are either
English, French or mixed, so based on
the various colors of the children’s smart
school uniforms, we’d call out their
appropriate greeting.
When a road exploration led us
pass the gates of the Tanna Coffee
Development Co. we noticed they
offered tours of which we couldn’t resist.
Although not open until later in the
morning, Nuvi, the factory manager, was
delighted to show us around and eagerly
began explaining the journey of their
coffee from “plantation to the cup.”
Arabica coffee has been grown on
the island of Tanna since 1852 with the
original variety from Jamaica being
replaced by newer “Catimor” semidwarf varieties. Grown under the
shadows of the very active Yasur volcano
this coffee takes on a special uniqueness
due to the deep, rich volcanic soils along
with the island abundant sunshine and
rainfall. Optimum ripe cherries are
hand-picked and processed at over 35
decentralized pulperies where they are
pulped, naturally fermented, washed,
screened and sun-dried. Following
delivery to a processing plant a machine
removes the dry skins, grades the 'green
beans' according to size and then 'bags'
them into 60kg sacks which are shipped
to Mele. The beans are then roasted,
gently releasing their oils and wonderful
aromatics which is quite an art as much of
a science to combine raw beans, moisture
content, controlled temperatures and
aroma to produce Tanna’s Coffee unique
medium, dark and espresso roasts for the
overall pursuit of the 'perfect brew'.
Nuvi went on to explain that the
objective of Tanna Coffee is to not only
produce coffee that is guaranteed to
be 100% free of any sprays or chemical
fertilizers, but to also ensure that the
smallholder local farmers receive the
maximum benefit for their efforts, yet
still grow their product in a sustainable
manner. A recent successful five-year
Coffee Development Program was
responsible for increasing the quantity
and quality of production from 500
farmers and allowed opportunity to
greatly increase their earnings through
high value-addition and the provision of
ready market access. Another five year
CDP is currently being planned and it is
anticipated that a further 500,000 trees
will be planted. The farmers' objective is
to develop their coffee industry, primarily
catering to international demands, and
future expansion will definitely be of
a sustainable nature, ensuring that the
current bio-diversity on Tanna remains
untouched.
I wish all the farmers and those at
Tanna Coffee a healthy future and look
forward to returning this year to taste
their efforts.
The following recipes all utilize
coffee resulting in very unique flavors:

B.C.’s Discovery Coast
Roscoe Inlet, Goose Island
By Jacquelyn Watt
“The spirit of Kayak Bill still lingers here, but it feels gentle,
sharing, as if to say that intrusions are permitted if no traces
are left to disturb the pristine quality of this beautiful bay.”
Jacquelyn and Raleigh frolic
in the sands of Goose Island.
Roscoe Inlet snakes a length of
twenty-one miles, not as long as Dean
or Burke Channels, but every bit as
majestic. Its twisted channels snake
through steep sided granite mountains
in this area referred to as the Discovery
Coast of British Columbia, part of the
Inside Passage to Alaska. Snow fields
liberally adorn these peaks, and but for
the old log dumps speckling its length,
it would seem untouched by man.
We did not see a single boat its entire
length.
A mile or so from the very end
of the inlet, a vertical stone wall
displays the face of a phantom, a
British Columbia Mount Rushmore,
eyes slanted, nose jutting prominently
into the sky, a slumber of autocratic
dignity, wreathed in mist. We anchored

in calm waters at the very end of this
inlet and immediately were pounced
on by horseflies, accompanied by
hoards of biting black midges. Screens
went up on all hatches to stave off any
imminent attacks and were for the most
part successful with just a few biters
reaching the interior of the Shadowfax,
our 40-foot sloop. The phantom, made
of stone, is impervious to the onslaught
of these winged invaders or he wouldn’t
be slumbering.
There is either rain and cold, or
heat and insects in these areas so that
the idyllic swimming (promised by our
guidebook) was not accomplished for
fear of adding to the bug bites we had
already accumulated since Bella Coola.
The First Mate got an exhilarating
dousing when Captain Bob forgot the
open hatch and sluiced a bucket of
seawater over the deck. It was a large
hatch and allowed a nice flow of icy
water to pour down on the reader
relaxing below, but that didn’t count as
swimming.
As we exited the inlet the next
morning, a scooped out area on a
rocky point caught our eyes. It seemed
the perfect place for a pictograph and
indeed there was the telltale salmon
egg red coloring with a definite ovoid
shape. It was reminiscent of the yellow
eye pictograph in Desolation Sound
and seemed to point towards a fishy
presence below. We found the fish,
nicely in line with the mark on shore,
with our fish finder at 350 feet, but were
unable to catch anything due to current
(too much) and bait (too little). We
know the fish will be there if we make
a future visit, just as they were when
the pictograph was drawn a hundred
years or more ago.
A day or so travel through the
island archipelago brought Shadowfax
and her crew to outermost Goose
Island, a remote, exposed, battered, and
open ocean island with little other than
day moorage in its exposed harbors —
but the beaches! So perfect they appear
pearl gray from a distance, so thick and
deep that feet and ankles disappear in
sandy plushness. Raleigh, our Havana
Silk dog, loved the sand; he romped,
pounced, twirled and danced on the
beach, bouncing as he ran back and
forth in tongue lolling exhilaration,
obliterating the smooth surface with
his doggy footprints, a silver sprite.

Raleigh’s were not the only
footprints on the beach; a large deer,
moose or wolf had wandered over the
area when the tide was higher, leaving
a trail of plunged heavy prints where
the sand had been wet, and shallower
marks higher on the dryer portions of
the beach. The tracks traveled on the
shores from islet to islet, ending near
a large cat or otter latrine. Claw marks
were evident where the sand had been
piled up to conceal excrement. Raleigh
was entranced by the stench emanating
from the area, we were not as fascinated.
Boot prints in the sand also indicated
a human presence, a scuffling walk
along the water leading to a battered

Docking is a complex subject.
Additionally, parts of the process are
not easy to describe in written words
– for example the ‘touch’ involved in
driving the boat up to the dock. For
these reasons it became apparent I could
not cover this subject, and do it justice,
in one article. So, I decided to start with
an overview. However, where there
was room, I have included specific
ideas and tips. Some other concepts
have been covered in prior articles and
references to them are provided where
appropriate. And, I plan on adding
more detail in next month’s article. So,
let’s dive in.
As I see it there are five components
to docking:
Planning – where are we docking
and what are the conditions (wind or
current)?
Preparation – setting up lines, fenders
and crew.
Momentum Control – getting the boat
lined up and into the dock in a controlled
fashion.
Line Handling and Securing – the
transition from moving to tethered.
Communication and Coordination
– key to getting the first four items done
smoothly and competently.
Making a bad mistake with or
omitting any one of these will likely
lead to a poor docking, especially in
bad conditions. Messing up on two
or more can lead to an ugly docking,
damage or injury.
Let’s look at each in some greater
detail:
Planning
If you are headed into your home
port this part is usually pretty easy.
Most of the time, a review of the
weather and current conditions is all
that is required. If there is more needed
you will know about it.
If, however, you are headed into
an unfamiliar port it is a good idea to
gather some information. Here is my
check-list:
✔ Read the cruising guide to gather
several pieces of information:
✔ Navigational tips and tricks to the
harbor entrance
✔ Contact info for the harbormaster –
radio channel or phone number
✔ A layout of the docks, if provided
✔ Check on the availability of power,
water, fuel and other desired
services.
✔ Check the charts to get the lay of
the place – such as, the location of
buoys and depths to be expected.
If tidal issues or currents are likely,
look these up so you know what to
expect.
✔ Call in for a slip assignment and,
if you need them, directions to
it. When you do this it does not
hurt to state your preferences. For
example, we usually say something
like, “We would like a slip for one
night for a 43’ sailboat; bow-in, port
tie if possible.” Be prepared for an
answer something like, “You may
to work well as they are out of the
skipper’s line of sight during the final
approach and can quickly get to either
side of the boat.
There are some “tricks” to setting
up a boat for docking but I don’t have
room in this article to go into them in
detail. However, these tips were the
subject of an earlier Sailing Tips article.
It is available online for review at
www.48north.com/articles.comhtm
look in the April 2010 issue, page 40.
Momentum Control
This is a fancy way of saying boat
handling. It is the area of docking where
prior knowledge and experience are the
most valuable. That being said, in calm
conditions almost anyone can get a
boat into the slip – just take it slow. But
as winds or currents come into play, or

Good Docking Requires More than Driving
the Boat Up to the Dock
By Mike Huston
take any open slip on G dock,” as
many harbors lack the manpower
to actually assign slips.
Preparation – This is the process of
physically preparing the boat to dock,
in other words putting out the dock
lines, fenders and any other needed
gear (like a fender step). The decks
should be cleared of loose gear and the
sails should be securely tied. It is not
helpful to have an unexpected gust of
wind catch a loose sail or have a crew
member trip over a loose line.
This is also the time to make
assignments to the crew – who is
doing what and when. And if you
have an extra fender and crew person
I recommend setting up a “roving
fender.” His or her role is to put the
fender between the boat and anything
it might unexpectedly hit. Having this
person stand in front of the mast seems
if the unexpected should happen, being
able to competently control the boat
becomes an imperative. And, believe
it or not, knowing what you cannot
get the boat do to is probably more
important than knowing what you can.
Think about it — trying to get a boat to
do something it cannot is guaranteed
failure waiting to happen.
Handling a boat in close quarters,
including docking, requires knowledge
and skill with several tools: among them
are the throttle, gear shift, prop walk,
prop wash, dock lines and crew. Each of
these tools has an important role to play.
Two of these areas, dock lines and crew
are discussed in this article. I’ll save the
others for another article. Fortunately,
they were covered in an earlier series of
three Sailing Tips articles titled CloseQuarters Maneuvering, which is exactly
what docking entails. These articles
explain the basics of boat handling and
give specific exercises for practicing
them. They are also available online –
same the 48° North website archives as
above, see the January, February and
March 2010 issues, pages 42, 32 and 40
respectively. I sailed for 30 years before
I learned and really understood much
of this material – so even if you are
reasonably experienced they are worth
a look.
But there is more to docking than
just being able to competently handle a
boat. There are some specific techniques
for approaching the dock that I would
like to share with you but cannot in this
overview. However, these will be the
subject of next month’s article.
One final thought on this subject;
in order to dock competently one needs
to have a feel for the boat. How quickly
does it turn? How quickly does it stop?
How much prop walk does it have? If
you are on a boat you do not know –
say a charter – find a safe place and do
some turns and spins. Back up a bit,
stop and start – in other words, get a
feel for the boat. A few minutes spent
practicing under controlled conditions
may save you a lot of grief when
unexpected things happen.
To dock competently one needs
to have a feel for the boat. How
quickly does it turn? How
quickly does it stop?
Line Handling
and Securing the Boat
This phase of a docking starts when
the boat gets close enough to the dock
to toss a line to someone or for one of
your crew to get off the boat with a line.
It is also when the most coordination
between crew and skipper is needed.
In calm conditions this phase is
usually pretty straight forward – get
the boat in the position you want and
secure it with a bow line, stern line and
two spring lines (normally). But if the
wind is blowing the boat off the dock
this is a crucial moment.
Even though this is an overview
I would like to share one specific
technique that can be very helpful when
docking in adverse conditions. To make
the point, let’s look at a docking where
the wind is blowing across the dock —
one of the harder docking situations.
Here is the idea: Have your first
crew off leave with a spring line in
hand, this line should be attached at the
mid-ship cleat. Their main task is to get
this line hooked (not cleated) around a
cleat – preferably one near where the
stern of the boat will eventually be
located. Initially they can let the line
slide through their hands but as the
boat nears its resting place this line
should be drawn tight and cleated.
The skipper should then put the
boat in forward at an idle (maybe
slightly higher) and turn the wheel to
starboard. How much will vary from
boat to boat and on conditions; it might
even require some port rudder. But
with this one line attached and the
engine in gear the boat should stay
nicely in position. Figure 1 shows what
this arrangement looks like. The line
will be pulling the boat toward the dock
and trying to twist the bow to port. The
engine is used to create the pressure
and the rudder, and the resulting
prop wash, are used to correct for the
twist. By varying the engine RPMs and
rudder it should be possible to keep the

of slips and point these out to the
skipper.
✔ Don’t forget to turn to the person
you are talking to or they may not be
able to hear you. For example, if you
are on the bow and say something
to the skipper while facing forward
it is likely you will not be heard.
The best thing you can do to
improve your docking skills and those
of your crew is practice. There are also
classes that you can take on docking.
The school I teach at holds all day
docking clinics several times a year and
I suspect other schools have something
similar. The clinic is inexpensive and is
an excellent way to learn and practice
the skills that make boat handling and
docking much easier. And taking your
crew to the clinic with you will really
help coordination and communication.
boat straight and against the dock. This
really does work and will make windy
dockings a lot easier.
Once this balance is in place there
is no need to hurry or panic; you can
calmly go about securing the rest of the
dock lines. When they are secured the
engine can be put in neutral and turned
off.
Communications and Coordination
While it is possible to dock a
boat single-handed, at least in calm
conditions, this is not the norm.
Therefore, coordinating the actions of
one other or more people is usually a
necessary part of docking. This starts
with preparing the boat and continues
all the way though securing the boat.
The best thing you can do is practice
with your crew in calm conditions. But
short of that, clearly explaining each
crew member’s role will help.
Here are some thoughts on what
should be communicated:
✔ Clearly state how you want the boat
setup for docking, where the lines
should be tied, where the fenders
should go, etc. It is a good idea to
stop the boat outside the harbor, or
just inside if there is room, and look
things over (examples I have seen
include having fenders too high
and missing bow lines).
✔ I think it is best to have your most
experienced crew person who is
physically able take the first line
ashore. While experience can
usually make up for not being
nimble, physical abilities can come
in handy. In fact, many of the really
experienced cruising couples we
know have the ladies drive and the
gentlemen handle the lines in bad
conditions.
✔ The coordination between this
crew member and the skipper is
also important. Simple things like
announcing when the line is around
the cleat or bull rail helps the skipper.
A simple “You’re hooked” or “I’m
ready to snug when needed” will
do. The skipper should be equally
vocal in asking for the line to be
snugged or cleated.
✔ While maneuvering in marinas
the crew should look for potential
hazards. Look for things like
moving masts or boats pulling out
Figure 1: A technique for wind blowing
across the dock has the line pulling the boat
toward the dock and trying to twist the
bow to port. The engine is used to create the
pressure and the rudder, and the resulting
prop wash, are used to correct for the twist.
By varying the engine RPMs and rudder it
should be possible to keep the boat straight
and against the dock.

Cruising With Currents
Going With the Flow — Sometimes
By John Enders
I bought my boat, a 25-year-old
Pacific Seacraft “Crealock” 34’, in North
Carolina and had her transported by
truck to Anacortes, Washington, the
“gateway to the San Juan Islands.” I
knew then that the learning curve
for me, both in terms of the boat and
the sailing waters around her new
homeport, would be steep. But I really
had no idea just how steep. S/V Victoria
is a lot more boat than I’d ever had
before, and the waters in and around
the San Juans, while spectacularly
beautiful, are a challenge. The biggest
part of that challenge – at least for

Victoria is a very solid cruising

in shake-down mode, getting to know

from the bigger and better known San
Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands to the

smaller Shaw, Blakely and Sucia and
the tiny but lovely James Island, just
across Rosario Strait from Anacortes.
And I’ve been learning to ride, or
to avoid, the amazing currents that

sweep up through the Strait of Juan de
Fuca, up and down Rosario and Haro
straits and the Strait of Georgia and
down into and out of Puget Sound. I’ve
done so, of course, using the unique
information provided in the Washburn’s
Tables, in conjunction with the Canadian
Hydrographic Service’s Current Atlas for
Juan de Fuca Strait to Strait of Georgia –
detailed predictions of each day’s tidal
current direction and strength, by hour.
The importance of this information in
enabling mariners to avoid dangerous
tidal rips caused by colliding ebb and
flood currents cannot be overstated.
I have no doubt that proper use of
Washburn’s has saved lives and vessels.
My first experience with tidal
currents was crossing Rosario Strait
from Flounder Bay in Anacortes to
James Island, just east of Decatur
Island. The often congested Thatcher
“S/V Victoria” at dock in
Friday Harbor, San Juan Island.
Pass, with regular ferry traffic and
pleasure boats coming and going
from the San Juans, runs between
Decatur Island and Blakely Island to
the north. To reach James Island, you
frequently need to get around two
major obstructions, Belle Rock and
Bird Rocks. My first time out I set a
course to James Island and thought I
wouldn’t have any trouble, despite the
strong (2+ knot) ebb current pushing
me south toward both obstructions.
I knew enough to keep a close eye on
my drift. I did make it, but it was much
closer than I had thought it would be.
On another occasion, I was trying
to cross from Flounder Bay to Lopez
Pass, south of Belle Rock and Bird
Rocks and I tried, despite the flood tide,
to go “below” them. It soon became
very clear I wasn’t going to make it, so
I changed course and passed them on
the north side. I had underestimated
the strength of the maximum flood
tide, something I’ve been careful not to
do since.
A couple weeks later, as part of
my efforts to improve my solo sailing
procedures, I set off from Anacortes to
Friday Harbor, using the ebb current
to take me down around the southern
end of Lopez Island, timing it so I could
then catch the flood tide north between
Lopez and San Juan Island, through
the infamous “Cattle Pass.” It was a
ride I’ll never forget. Motoring through
at full flood, for a half-hour Victoria
was doing a consistent 10 knots over
ground and got above 12 knots on two
occasions. I’ve done plenty of whitewater rafting on big rivers in Oregon
and California, but this rollicking ride
through Cattle Pass was something
else. Thankfully, my near-new 30-horse
Yanmar is a reliable motor. I made
it through without a hitch, and felt
immensely more comfortable in my
very stable 14,000-pound Crealock than
the one other boat I saw making the trip
through Cattle Pass that afternoon – a
40-plus foot powerboat coming against
the current and banging hard against
two and three-foot waves.
Another spot I’ve gotten to know
well is the southeastern entrance to the
San Juan Channel near Friday Harbor,
off the southern end of Shaw Island.
The rips there are powerful due to
the 500-foot-plus depth of the channel
and the collision of currents pushing
against each other from Rosario and
Haro straits. One day in August two
friends, both experienced sailors, and
I sailed through those rips in a steady
20-knot wind going with the current.
It was another wild ride. Usually, I
prefer to motor through that section,
especially in light winds.
Most recently, those same two
sailing buddies – both old high school
friends -- and I ventured from Friday
Harbor around the north end of San
Juan Island and south through Haro
Strait on our way to Victoria, B.C. We
thought we had it timed just right,
but the prediction of the currents’ ebb
and flood are just that – predictions
– and we were about an hour off. We
ended up having to motor past the
southeastern tip of Vancouver Island
to reach our destination, and thought
we’d never get past the two lighthouses
on that part of the island. But that’s the
eastern entrance to the Strait of Juan de
Fuca – the big daddy of them all – and
the power of the current as it pushes
all that water up into Haro, Rosario
and the Georgia straits and down
Admiralty Inlet into Puget Sound is not
to be trifled with.
While currents and tides offer
challenges and pose some risks,
they also present the mariner with
examples of compelling beauty. One
day in August, while I was crossing
I was crossing Rosario
Strait at slack tide, as the ebb
and flood currents collided and
churned the water around me.
I reached a spot where all was
calm and smooth… A dozen
porpoises were feeding all
around the boat… I could hear
each porpoise’s “shwuuup
shwuuup” sound as it grabbed
for air, then dove to feed again.
Moments of wildness and
grace I will never forget.
Rosario Strait at slack tide, the ebb and
flood currents collided and churned
the water around me. I reached a spot
where all was calm and smooth, at least
on the surface. A dozen porpoises were
feeding all around the boat, within
earshot, and I stopped and idled my
motor. I could hear each porpoise’s
“shwuuup shwuuup” sound as it
grabbed for air, then dove to feed again.
Moments of wildness and grace I will
never forget.
The San Juan currents have been
an amazing learning experience for me
this season. Next year, I plan to sail up to
Canada’s Gulf Islands and, if I’m lucky,
around Vancouver Island. You can bet
your boat that I’ll carry Washburn’s with
me when I go, and keep a close eye on
the tides and currents.

“Spills Aren’t Slick”
Avoiding Fuel Spills
We are always happy to promote ideas that help
your boating experience and aid the environment.
So, this month, we’re writing about a couple things
that caught our eye at the boat show to help avoid
petroleum spills when fueling.
By Jack and Alex Wilken
Whenever you fuel your vessel,
there is the possibility of a spill.
Typically, most boats with below deck
tanks fill through a 1½” diameter hose.
As the fuel goes in, the air needs a way
out. The vent that lets the air out of
the tank is normally ½”- 3/4”. When the
tank fills, fuel will rise more quickly
full. So, even in the best of situations
there is a good potential for a fuel spill,
and, as the sign in one of the marinas
says, “Spills aren’t slick.”
How to avoid overfilling is not only
a matter of being careful; you really
need to be able to see 20 seconds into
the future. Since most people have not
mastered that skill, another possibility
is to have something that warns you
that you are about to cause a spill.
There are a range of devices that do just
that. For the most part they alert you
that the tank is nearing full, or that the
fuel is rising in the vent hose. Some are
easier to install than others, depending
on your particular boat.
Vent Hose Systems
There are several approaches in
these systems, all spliced directly into
your vent hose. One simple device
produces a “whistling” sound as the
tank is being filled and air passes
through it. The sound is loud enough
to be heard from any point on the boat.
As the tank approaches full, the sound
turns to a “warble,” giving you time to
prevent a marine spill. This will warn
you, but it won’t stop the spill on its
own.
Another device also splices into
the vent line and separates air from the
fuel that has been forced into the vent
hose (Figure 1). Air is vented and fuel
is returned to the tank. This unit does
not warn you of the tank level but stops
fuel from being vented. Of course, if
you continue to fill the tank, you will
overflow the fill hose. Even though the
vent in this case does not warn you, the
sound at the fill does change, but it is
less noticeable than the whistle. There
are several different manufactures of
these systems which are sometimes
referred to as “surge protectors.”
Figure 3: Fill hose mounted system.
Figure 1: Surge protector mounted in the vent hose.
A vent fitting is also now available
in a configuration that gives both surge
protection and resists water from
entering backwards through the vent.
Instead of being spliced into the vent,
this one just replaces the vent.
in the vent hose than in the fill hose,
which is still under the pressure of the
incoming fuel. This assumes that the
vent is unobstructed so the air can go
out as fast as the fuel goes in. If this is
not so, the pressure will build up in the
tank and fuel will come back up the fill
hose, or, in other words, the tank will
“burp”. This happens because there is
a problem with the vent installation or
maintenance. When things are working
as they should, the vent, which is often
mounted outboard in the hull, will
discharge fuel as soon as the tank is
Vent Mounted Reservoir or Tank Systems
Now we move to a new level of
security. This kind of system splices
into the vent line, the same as those
previously mentioned, but that is
where the similarity ends. There is an
actual tank incorporated into the vent
line. As the fuel is introduced into the
vent line tank, a sensor activates both
an LED mounted on the deck fill plate,
and an audible alarm. The advantage
of all this is that no restriction is created
in the vent line which would build up
pressure inside the tank causing fuel to
Figure 2: Vent mounted reservoir
or tank system.
back up in the fill hose. The fuel, that
would have vented overboard if the
vent line were not protected, drains
back to the tank. (Figure 2)
Fill Hose Mounted Systems
With this type of installation you
eliminate the hull mounted vent fitting
and mount the device directly to the
deck fill plate. The vent is replaced by
a tank breather line to allow air to enter
the tank as fuel is used. This line has
an odor filter on it and is appropriate
for diesel fuel only as you cannot vent
gasoline inside the vessel. With this
unit you protect against venting fuel
overboard and to some extent fuel
“burping” back up the fill hose. This
system and the one mentioned above
are more involved to install but give
you more protection. (Figure 3)
In summary: The problem you want
to avoid is causing a petroleum spill as
this is both hard on the environment,
and could also earn you a hefty fine.
As tank vents are typically mounted
in the hull (Figure 4) or on the cabin
side with access overboard, they are
the direct route for fuel to create a spill.
Figure 4: Fill and vent fitting
mounted in the cockpit to control
spills and keep water out of fuel tank.
Fill
Vent
Too prevent this, most of the systems
mentioned above target the vent line,
but one also deals with the fill itself.
Keeping fuel in and the water
out of the tank will contribute to your
overall boating experience. Of course,
always have petroleum absorbent
pads ready when fueling up. Happy
spill-less boating!

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
Dock Lines in a Six Knot Slip!
Surging to 3.9 knots of boat speed
is normally a yawn inducing event.
Doing so while tied to a dock has quite
the opposite effect. Although that
good old nylon is best. Nylon dock line
comes in three construction styles, each
with slightly different features. Threestrand is least expensive, stretchiest, and
very easy to splice. Double
braid, meaning a braided
cover over a braided core,
is stronger, lower stretch,
and more expensive. Single
braid (8 or 12 strand) looks
great and doesn’t kink; but
is the least strong and its
fibers easily snag on wood
pilings and docks. Based on
these characteristics, we like
three-strand most.
Line chafe on a
55’ powerboat.
velocity only barely touches that of a
fast walk, the journey is brief, sharply
punctuated and followed by an equally
jarring return trip. The movement and
stretch in our dock lines lets Totem
roam nearly two miles in an hour.
This unusual state of traveling nearly
50 miles per day while docked on
the Brisbane River, Australia, has us
reevaluating dock lines.
Line Selection
Dock lines must be strong, stretchy,
and resistant to UV degradation and
abrasion. So, amongst a broad range of
high-tech or super strong fiber options,
Rope manufacturers and suppliers
offer handy reference charts to help
select line diameter based on boat
size. Unfortunately, size alone is a
poor reference. For example, the
website www.ropeinc.com suggests
¾” diameter line is appropriate for
boats 40’ to 70’ long. This guide would
have 47’ long Totem, at 17 tons, and our
friends on the Nordhavn 64, Oso Blanco,
at 90 tons using the same line. Perhaps
if Oso Blanco doubled the number of
dock lines, but the guide makes no such
suggestion. Talking to experienced
boaters and observing what’s on other
boats of similar size, weight, and style
is better information
than a generic chart.
Also keep in mind that
wind and water forces
are what move a docked
boat. Boats moored in
an area of higher winds,
strong tidal flow, ocean
swells, and frequent
boat wakes need to
select and run their lines
to account for higher
forces.
A strong line snubber.
Line length
A common approach to tyingup a boat is with four lines: bow,
stern, forward spring, and aft spring.
A general rule is that bow and stern
line lengths are 2/3 of the boat
length; and spring lines equal to boat
length. Plenty of situations necessitate
additional lines. A second bow line led
over the opposite side can help control
movement, for example.
End of the Line
It’s common for dock lines to have
an eye splice at one end. Splicing the
eye retains up to 90% of the line’s
strength, whereas knotted loop line
strength drops to 50%. Then the
question is whether the loop end goes
to a cleat on the boat or the dock. It’s
a topic for truly gripping debates;
still, we’ve developed a preference
for no loop (except when tying to a
piling). Using a cleat hitch at both ends
allows adjustment at both ends. This
makes it easier to tweak line length.
It also reduces chafe by allowing you
to altering where the line passes chafe
points such as chock, hawse pipe, or
toe rail.
Really Shocking
Plenty of other materials could
make for stronger or tougher dock
lines. Those materials have lower
stretch properties than nylon, but
that’s more harmful than good to a
docked boat. Line “stretchiness,” up to
40% for nylon, acts as a shock absorber.
By slowing a boat’s movement before
stopping it altogether, cleats tend to
stay attached to the deck and dock
longer.
Areas of more vigorous boat
movement may require still more shock
absorption than stretchy lines provide.
This is usually in the form of a tough,
but elastic rubber link in the dock line.
Line snubbers are a common option
found in marine chandleries and easy
to install. Alternative solutions can
work just fine also. We’ve seen boat
fenders with the air removed, bike
inner-tubes on smaller boats, and
motorized scooter tires used. In a DIY
approach, remember that the dock line
must be from dock cleat to deck cleat,
even across the rubber link, where it
has extra length so the link is taking
the load. If the link should fail, the line
is in place to keep the boat attached to
the dock.
It’s also important to be aware that,
as a boat surges and rolls, stretching lines
contain lots of energy, just like with a
stretched rubber band released to snap
someone. The risk with a dock line is,
if stretched to the breaking point, it can
be lethal. In 2009, a 16-year-old cruiser
was tragically killed in Thailand, by
a dock line on a large powerboat that
snapped and recoiled back into her.
Line Chafe
Chafe is an ever present threat
aboard. While dock lines benefit from
stretch, chafe is exacerbated by it. Chafe
points exist anywhere line rubs against
something – dock, piling, chock, toe
rail, stanchion, etc. To prevent chafe,
start with fairleads; meaning lines
shouldn’t take unnecessary bends
around a chafe point. Next, consider
the directional change a line takes
when passing through a chock or
hawse pipe. Greater angle change
equates to higher force and more chafe.
It may seem like there isn’t enough line
movement to cause chafe at a chock 1’
from a cleat. That is wrong though, as a
boat’s surge, stretches lines up to 40%;
that’s nearly a 5” area of line under
load rubbing against metal. Several feet
of line between cleat and chafe point or
a big directional change make a very
effective sawing action.
Chafe gear comes in many forms,
tubing, webbing wraps, old fire hose,
and commercially made products. It
only works if it’s between the line and
the chafe point. On a recent blustery
day dock walk in Sydney, I noticed the
bow line on a 55’ powerboat chafed 75%
through because the chafe gear slipped
out of place. I quickly added one of my
spare lines to the bow because with 30
knot gusts, it wouldn’t be long before
the situation got more exciting than
anyone wanted.
Tie Points
Many features on a boat or dock
can have a line tied to it, but other than
cleats, bollards, and Samson posts,
many are problematic. Stanchions are
a poor option because load from the
line will flex the stanchion, causing
gel coat cracks and leaks. Chainplates
and shroud bases are super strong, but
designed for vertical loads. Horizontal
loading can cause stainless steel to work
harder, becoming brittle over time; and
worse, enable moisture to work its way
below, get trapped behind a chainplate
and cause corrosion.
It’s easy to stress about safely
maneuvering a boat into a slip. Once
in, we often don’t give much thought
to staying well tied-up. It’s a good idea
to give it attention, especially if the boat
is not often attended or the location
has the chance for big wind or water
movement. Talking to our cruising
friends on the 44’ catamaran Merlin,
about our 3.9 knot surge, they replied,
“That’s a lot, but we recorded 6 knots
in the slip next to you.” Let’s see, force
equals mass multiplied by acceleration;
we definitely need more dock lines!

It was another memorable year
for the Toliva Shoal Race. Everything
seemed bigger this year. The 77 boats
participating marked a significant
increase, making this the largest Toliva
Shoal Race in the last five years. The
festivities began on Friday evening,
when a large crowd gathered for the
“It's not just about the race,”
explained Micki McNaughton,
commodore of the South Sound
Sailing Society.“It's about
working together for the
sailing community.”
“Baron of Beef” dinner and
social. If you haven’t been
to Toliva, you must attend
for what the racers say is
the best pre-race party. As
the night wore on, there was
much discussion as to which
weather forecast would come
true. The predictions for race
day were from “no wind” to
10-12 knots. There were also
strategy sessions trying to
figure out how to make the
best of the beneficial current
at the beginning of the race.
The race started out with a
hearty breakfast at Olympia Yacht
Club, with the proceeds from the
previous night’s dinner and the day’s
breakfast going to youth sailing
in Olympia - thank you for your
s u p p o r t ! T h e b re a k f a s t
provided the necessary
energy stores for facing
what was shaping up to be a
bit of a brisk day. The winds
made for a downhill start.
At 9:30 sharp, headsails
and spinnakers were flying
as the cruising classes were
underway. At 10:00, PHRF
boats started under similar
conditions.
The Toliva Shoal Race
is known for challenging
conditions not typically
found in other areas, as
racers often face the strong
currents, eerie whirlpools,
large tide differentials,
and unpredictable winds
that characterize the South Sound.
This year the racers also had to decide
how to negotiate the tug towing a log
boom, which they encountered at the
start and on the return near Devil's
Head. They had to choose which channel
to use when passing Eagle Island into
the wind and had to decide whether
to put up their spinnakers on the run
from Devil's Head to the shortened
finish at Johnson Point. The PRO,
Norm Smit had the difficult task this
year of deciding if the all the racers
could make the entire course. The
decision to shorten at Johnson Point
was hastened by First to Finish Pax
the Space Spider and First to Finish
Cruising Flying Sails Drumbeat, rapidly
approaching the entrance of a becalmed
Dana Passage. Congratulations go to
Flim Flam, First Overall in the event.
Several boats were new to the
Toliva Shoal Race and some were firsttime racers. Fred Adair, for example,
has sailed Rose, his Pacific Seacraft 31,
for 20 years but had not entered a race
until now. “I ought to do this once,” he
decided, inviting his son and grandsons
to crew. To his surprise, six people from
as far away as New York, California,
and Seattle traveled to Olympia to
join him on the boat, forming a “jolly
crew of seven.” Throughout the race,
every crew member took turns at
each position, including the helm. “It
was lots of fun,”he said afterward. “It
turned out to be just wonderful from
a family standpoint.”
The shortened course allowed
most boats to finish before dark,
which encouraged racers to gather at
the Olympia Yacht Club on Saturday
evening for hot soup, homemade
cookies, and brew. Stories of the race
- past as well as current - could be

heard at every table. First-time racers
mingled with longtime participants,
who, exhausted but enthusiastic,
explained the appeal of the Toliva
Shoal Race. The crew of Korina-Korina,
for example, has been participating in
the event for more than two decades
and appreciated the camaraderie. “It's
the only race where everyone gets to
sit down together,”observed one of
the crew members. “This is one of the
better races - it's a lot of fun.”
Others agreed that the social
activities help make this event special.
“It's not just about the race,” explained
Micki McNaughton, commodore of
the South Sound Sailing Society.“It's
about working together for the sailing
community.” Suzie Shaffer, who helps
coordinate the numerous volunteers
for this race, also noted the benefits
of working together and forming
friendships on this two-day event.
“You get to know people,” she offered.
“We have a party (while working) in
the kitchen.” This year's Toliva Shoal
Race included several flourishes, such
as the “dessert dance” that volunteers
performed for the dinner crowd. The
volunteers of the South Sound Sailing
Society and the Olympia Yacht Club
look forward to another successful
event next year.

“Casual Class” Starts
CYC Center Sound Series
NW Intercolleiate Sailing
Association
Regatta/Team Race
March 31
Corinthian Yacht Club’s 2012 longdistance sailing series starts on March
3 with the Blakely Rock Race, the
traditional beginning event. Running
aground on the western side of the
Rocks often happens as someone almost
always tries to shorten the return trip just
a bit too much, providing chuckles and
sometimes sympathy from subsequently
rounding boats. The race northward to
Scatchet Head follows a week later on
March 10 and, after a two week-break, the
race southward to Three Tree Point will
be held on March 24. Both of these races
feature forecasted large tidal swings, so
good navigation will be key.
For each of these three races, CYC
will have a “casual class” start as an
experiment to attract more boats to
participate in this key Club event. The
casual class will have separate starts,
shorter courses and awards, and boats
may use flying sails or race on a NFS
basis. These starts are intended as a
venue for less serious or less experienced
sailors to have fun on the water in a more
relaxed field.
All Center Sound races are open
to non-members of the Club. For more
information and registration, see the
Club’s website: www.cycseattle.org or
call the Club’s office (206) 789-1919.

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

West Vancouver Yacht
Club Southern Straits
April 6-8
The West Vancouver Yacht Club is
reminding sailors to mark their calendars
for the return of the Annual Southern
Straits Classic. Now in its 44th year, the
regatta is a West Coast racing tradition
and an Easter Weekend ritual for sailors,
their families, and the community.
Three redesigned courses, ranging
from 64 to 132 nautical miles, will
see sailors criss-crossing Georgia
Strait, testing their strategy, skill, and
endurance. In honour of two longstanding WVYC members and veterans
of many Straits races, the medium course
has been named after Jim Pine and the
Short Course after Buddy Hulscher.
New this year is a team racing option
for clubs that want to enter a team of
three yachts to compete against other
clubs. Back by popular demand will be
the double handed division for those
wishing to race as a duo.
WVYC will also offer live yacht
tracking of the event to help friends
and family monitor the race’s progress.
The yacht tracker will be streamed on
the clubhouse big screen TV for those
that wish to come down and be part of
the action.
Skippers who register before Sunday,
March 11 will be entered in the Early
Bird Prize Draw. For more information,

Kate Cole Design
For the 17th annual Sloop Tavern
Yacht Club’s Iceberg Regatta, 28 sailboats
in four fleets braved the winter chill
and strong, cold breeze for the Sloop’s
epic winter frostbite race. As the fleet
gathered, adorned in our best foulies
and warmest fleece, the breeze forecasted
to be light was building from the south.
The STYC race committee, given the
choice of running a long course out into
the Puget Sound or a short course in the
confines of protected Shilshole Bay, chose
the former. We prepared ourselves for a
distance race as the winds began to gust
in the mid-twenties.
In any race, the start is often the most
important part, because the start sets
the tone for the race to come. A clean
start in clear air, ahead of your fleet,
gives you the advantage of choosing
the best course to the first rounding
mark. Clear, well timed, starts can also
establish a controlling position over
your competition. For the start on this
chilly Saturday morning, it was all about
timing.
With a reverse start, the non-flying
sails fleet was off on a fast beat heading
south to West Point. Fighting an ebbing
tide and strong intermittent puffs from
the Magnolia Bluff, the fleet as a whole
hugged the east shore for relief and
sought the expectant current push from
the Locks. As we approached the first
mark, we tucked in close to West Point
and scooted right past the picturesque
West Point Lighthouse. Each boat past
the point was swept swiftly north.
Sailing for speed and not direction,
getting around the buoy at West Point
required multiple tacks and for some, a
near miss or two.
Once past the West Point Buoy, we
began a super fast reach in 23 knot gusts
across the Sound to Skiff Point. The
search was on to find the red tetrahedron
awaiting us. Having a general idea of
where Skiff Point was, we searched
diligently. It wasn’t until we closed in
on the point that we saw the red mark
very close inshore.
If you have ever found yourself being
the front boat during a distance race, it
is often a precarious position. While a
fun and exciting place to be, it is also a
stressful place. Being up front, the race is
yours to win or to lose. The key lesson is
to stay between your closest competitors
and the next mark. Boat speed and VMG
come into play once you have established
a controlling position.
Once we reached Skiff Point, we
rounded, jibed and set the kite. While
some opted to forgo the close reach north
under spinnaker, a handful of boats had
very exciting, but short lived kite runs.
After a few moment of instability, the
kite filled and we were on a plane and
heading off northeast to Spring Beach.
Without GPS, finding the buoy at Spring
Beach often takes a bit of luck, if you don’t
know what to look for on shore, that is.
For some it the “landslide” from years
back, others it is the small stainless steel
railroad switch box. I learned that the
best mark for lining up with the Spring
Beach, from way across the Sound, is
the mansion with the large green yard.
Whichever landmark you use, on a white
cap day, you won't actually see the buoy
until you are right on top of it.
We arrived first at the Spring Beach
Buoy aboard Alex Krawarik’s Melges
24 Rogue and prepared for the long beat
back to the finish line at Shilshole. To
avoid the strong ebbing current and boat
speed-killing waves, we kept close to the
shore. Soon we began sharing tacks with
the bigger boats as the fleets consolidated
near Meadow Point. The wind shadow
at Meadow Point warranted a wide turn
to avoid the shifty winds as they bent
around the bluff.
Once past the Bluff and with a short
tack to the Beach at Golden Gardens and
a subsequent lift to the finish we were
home; chilled to bone, but with smiles on
our faces. Winning the day would be Syd
Stapleton’s Serafina, Corky Brown’s Blue
Jeans, Nate & Wanda Creitz’s Three Ring
Circus and Graeme Esarey’s Kotuku.

Winter
Classic
The 2012 edition of the Orcas

was sailed on February 19th. Sixteen
boats raced in two divisions, PHRF
and a Santa Cruz 27 one-design
fleet. The weather was cooperative,
10-12 knots and no rain, providing a
wonderful day of racing. Both fleets
started together, with Nigel Oswold's
Farrier F32, Blue Steel, moving quickly
into the lead. Nigel took line honors,
finishing first in class and setting a new
course record of 1:46:08 breaking the
previous record by 10 minutes. The boat
of the day, however, was Stephanie and
Andy Schwenk's SC 27 Wild Rumpus.
Finishing first in the SC 27 class, and
winning the trophy for regatta honors.

After the race, much fun was had by

swiftsure yachts the logbook for March 2012
Like a fine wine, Morning Star improves
with age. Built when fiberglass was becoming the boat material of choice, she is tough,
well constructed and ready to tackle whatever the sea has in store. Down below she exhibits the essentials of a proper yacht: excellent sea berths, functional
galley, good ventilation, plenty of handholds, and beautiful joinery.
Best of all, the custom design by C & C is a joy to sail with the systems
that allow shorthanded crew or the sailing couple to feel the breeze
and ask for more. Morning Star has undergone two major refits. In
1996 she went to the Bruckmann Yard where substantial improvements were made to cabinetry, systems and rigging. In 2010-2011 a
second refit was completed. The hull, deck and mast were painted;
new batteries, inverter/charger, windlass and Max Prop were installed; the glazing in all ports and hatches was replaced; interior
and exterior wood was refinished; lifelines replaced, new halyards
installed, rigging inspected and Navtec hydraulics rebuilt; and electronics were upgraded with a new chartplotter and radar. Add an
Iverson dodger to the mix and the list is still not complete. She is a
boat you need to see to believe. Beyond the refit, Morning Star is the
boat in the anchorage where the other sailors will gather. Her cockpit
comfortably holds a crowd and should the evening turn chilly, there
is plenty of room down below to continue the party or share a meal.
