Back to Where it All Began
Though we’ve enjoyed the hottest, sunniest,
windiest summer of sailing in memory, your editor
is ready to welcome the blustery fall with open arms.
Yes, the t-shirt sailing days are probably gone for the
season, but dust off those foulies, run your second
reef, and enjoy Neptune’s autumn splendor.
For enthusiasts and industry pros alike, there’s a
good chance you’ve been guzzling boaty culture in
the past few weeks. It’s not difficult to find it at this
time of year, with Wooden Boat Festivals in Victoria
and Port Townsend, and a boat show at South Lake Union. What a marvelous
deep-dive it can be for us all – lifers and newbies.
October... We’ve returned to the first month in which I wrote an editorial for
you. I’ve been thinking a lot about returns recently. A big part of this was a late
summer vacation back to my home state of Minnesota, where I had several on-thewater experiences that mirrored some of those that I consider my most formative.
I sailed with my dad, the first person ever to hand me a tiller, on the friendly
freshwater of my childhood lake, Minnetonka. I went scow sailing with one of
my best friends, Dave, on Half Moon Lake. Thirteen years ago on that lake, Dave
taught me enough about sailing that I could teach kids the basics at the summer
camp that shaped us both, and where he’s returned to be the Director. And, a
group of friends and I spent a few perfect days of non-sailing water-fun, paddling
in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. We led trips here as college kids – it’s a
magical watery wilderness. Traveling each day, camping every night in a new
paradise, I realized that it was those adventures of water-travel and discovery
where I learned many skills as useful on a cruising boat as they are on a canoe trip.
But, to get bogged down in our personal histories is to miss the forest for the
trees. Nowhere was this more apparent as during the Port Townsend Wooden
Boat Festival. Each of those boats has a history, and their owners are always happy
to share them (even new builds have a story). Some of them will blow your mind.
Pax, is literally book worthy. Longtime friend of the magazine and Pax owner, Kaci
Chronkite, writes about the festival this month (page 13), and is presently writing
the history of her boat. Sparkle, who took me sailing for the Classics Race (thanks
Brian and Guy!), was built in 1947 and purchased for $3500 fifty years later with
planks so rotten you could pull them up without tools. Sparkle has been restored
in stages over the last 18 years and is a Port Townsend institution: winning a
ton of races, and being the boat in town known for showing a generation of new
sailors how fun sailing is, and how fast an old wooden boat can go.
Humble or grandiose in size, design, or story, that collection of boats and
sailors represents an astounding commitment to craftsmanship and a firm foothold
in the world of the traditional. But, it’s not stale and stodgy. I had the privilege
to sit in a seminar with sailmaker Carol Hasse. Boy, was I aware of my tunnel
vision for Marconi-rigged sloops when she didn’t dig right into draft-depth and
cloth weight as I expected. First, she had to discuss the variety of available rigs
(literally all of them!), and their pros and cons. With Hasse’s guidance, I let my
mind recalibrate to the traditional. Wooden boats with outriggers, junk rigs, and
gaff-rigged schooners with topsails and a gollywobbler are where it all began and
still represent 99.9% of sailing history: exploration and travel, work and play.
The knowledge of how to build and maintain the boats, their rigs, and their
sails used to be the price of admission to this sailing lifestyle. These skills and
trades have more relevance to a modern sailor than you might think - a worthwhile
return, in my opinion. I’m not jettisoning my interest in high performance sailing,
and I still wouldn’t advocate against simple, fast, easy to maintain boats. But, any
sailor, young or old, will do themselves a service if they learn how we got here;
and how to keep traditional knowledge, skills, and old wooden boats afloat.
I’ll see you on the water,
Joe Cline,

The PROSIT! left Port McNeill the morning of July 17
for Edmonds, WA, in strong winds. The Canadian weather
report warned of gale force northwesterlies on Johnstone
Strait for the coming days. “That’s great!” said son, Einar,
who would skipper the boat, “I’ll finally sail down Johnston
Strait in the screaming nor’westerlies.”
Out of the harbor, we set the main and, running before
the wind, we made good time as we passed Telegraph Cove.
About an hour later, we skirted Robson Bight Ecological
Reserve, a killer whale sanctuary. There were no whales in
sight at the beaches on this trip. Probably, they were feeding
further north on the coast due to the strong El Niño settled
off the Pacific Coast this year.
The sun bounced its beams off the cresting, foaming
waves of the following seas as the warm winds kept building
to thirty-five knot gusts. Einar, at the wheel, grinned as we
surfed the mounting waves and set a new PROSIT! speed
record of 9.98knots under mainsail only. We sailed into Port
Harvey and dropped anchor for the night. After toasting the
exhausted skipper with a round of PROSIT! Punch (a cup
of hot chocolate with a shot of Canadian Rye Whiskey), we
had a salmon dinner and took to our beds.
We departed Port Harvey in mist and calm seas. On
Johnstone, the mist began to clear and the northwesterlies
started up and again we raised the main instead of flying the
jib. As the northwesterlies strengthened, and the following
seas began building to two meter waves, we stayed well
clear passing a tug having trouble towing a huge log barge
loaded with a forest of logs (the largest log barge can hold
the equivalent of 700 log trucks). Looking back awhile later,
we saw that the tug was upwind of the log barge, apparently
trying to keep it from sailing ashore on Helmken Island.

Einar maintained control as the water rushed past the
cabin portholes and there was talk of reefing the main. This
was impossible to do without bringing the boat into the
wind, but off of Kelsey Bay the gale winds overpowered the
boat and it rounded up as Einar managed to hold on to the
wheel. As he brought the boat back on course it rounded
up again, heeling broadside to the wind. Using the engine,
Einar brought the boat into the screaming wind and with
earshattering clapping, the mainsail was double reefed.
With the boat now under control we sailed past Helmken
Island, up Mayne Passage and moored for the night at the
Blind Channel Resort.
Upon reflection, the skipper concluded that in sailing
downwind in sustained gale force winds it would be better
to fly the jib instead of the main since it would be easier to
reef and would not cause the boat to round up. Still at no
point did we loose faith in the integrity of the PROSIT! or
our skipper, and Einar got his wish in one of the best sailing
vacations we have experienced.

Coho Ho Ho 2015!
Hi Joe,
Coho Ho Ho 2015 cruising rally from Seattle to San
Francisco-San Diego is mostly a done deal. Congratulations
to sailing vessels for their successful voyages to San
Francisco and beyond:
Spill the Wine, Kestrel, North-Star, Aeolian, Grand-ciel,
Manatee, Athanor, Nutmeg.
At last glance, four boats have continued south to San
Diego. At the time of this writing, SV Tocatta, is in harbor
in Brookings Oregon waiting for a weather window around
Cape Mendocino. Emily and Sterling of Sterling Marine
threw a fabulous welcome party for the recent arrivals to
the Bay area, Nutmeg and Grand-ciel.
We had a great fleet this year that brought much in
the way of experience, ideas, and enthusiasm to the chart
table. Our appreciation goes out to those that helped make
it possible. It’s a long list that includes many, but special
thanks needs to go out to Brad Baker of Swiftsure Yachts
who helped provide weather information and routing tips;
and OCENS for spearheading the dream of putting our fleet
on virtual time charting with inReach via Snap Track.
It's still possible to go to cohohoho.com and follow
the progress of this year’s fleet. Track their progress with
excitement. And get out there yourself - be safe, have fun,
and realize your own bluewater dreams!

October 2015
I am a liveaboard at Shilshole Bay Marina. Since I moved
onto my sailboat last June, I’ve noticed that the tenants
seem to be all very kind people. There is a strong sense
of community and trust among the boat owners. I’ve also
noticed that people tend to stop and chat, exchange phone
numbers, and even take each other out sailing.
So, I wanted to bring it a step further and organize an
online community where the tenants can discuss all things
related to the marina, and even organize to help better the
marina. Would you be willing to announce the group and
explain what is involved with becoming a member?
First off, this is not a public group that anyone can join.
I am keeping a database of all participants and giving them
the option to share their contact info upon request from other
tenants. The idea being that if I am a tenant and I would like
to know who owns the sailboat three slips away, I can check
with the group administrator to see if they are a member
and can be contacted. I understand that not everyone who
owns a boat is on Facebook, but I am hoping by next year
that the majority of the tenants will join so they can keep
up with everything going on with the marina. Within two
days of announcing this group, I’ve already had 25 slips
occupied. The members have already been very active to
get conversation going. I’m very excited to see this online
community grow.
So, if you live at Shilshole and are interested in the
group: first you email the administrator (currently me,
tony@tonybentley.com) and send me your dock letter and
slip number. I respond with a letter that provides the group
guidelines, such as no racism, no commercial advertising,
be nice to one another, etc. Then you agree and announce if
you want to have your name available to other members. I
keep two records: those who are public, and those who are
private. This way I can ensure that the private members will
never be shared with anyone. That’s pretty much it.
I know that many 48° North readers are in Seattle and at
Shilshole Bay Marina, so I’m just asking if you guys would
make mention of the group. It’s not an association so I don’t
have any logos, and no affiliation with any other group. It’s
purely to organize and communicate among the tenants.
Feel free to inquire about anything.
Thanks for your time!

S/V Satori, Westsail 32

Sounds cool to us, Tony. Hopefully, it’ll grow and be used for
good. The nice thing about a private group is being able to control
against trolls!
If you haven’t already been in touch with the Shilshole
Liveaboard Association, maybe you can get them in the loop on
this, too. I believe that our friend, Kirk Utter, is still president.

Moorage Resource?
48° North
Is there something of a one-stop-shop resource that
compares marina slip rates in Washington State? I realize
there are a lot of variables but as retirement looms and we
are thinking about a vessel upgrade, the cost of long term
moorage needs to be added to the equation. We've been
trailer sailors thus far. Thanks.
Foster Fanning
(message from facebook)
We are not aware of one. Are other 48° North readers better
informed on this than we are? There are a lot of variables, including
different seasonal rates, and rates that change based on monthly
leases, or yearly ones. It would be a big spreadsheet, that’s for sure.
But, it’s one I’d like to see.

America at Sail Sand Point
Hey Joe and 48°N
We loved every minute of America's visit to Sail Sand
Point! It was a joy for the adults and thrilling for the
200+ kids that went aboard America. Hearing Troy's talk
enlightened both our youth and adults about the how and
why of the Cup. The America's Cup is an integral part of our
history and it was very meaningful to Sail Sand Point to be
able to share that history. As a small boat program dedicated
to youth, their education about this exciting and important
event was really rewarding. Plus, while the America was
out sailing, we had Laser match racing going on, with live
commentary and interviews with the competitors!

O
Great Circle of Life
n watch, twenty
years ago and
half a world away,
a crew mate mused,
“You gotta live while
you’re alive.” She
was in her 50s, I was
in my 30s, and the
profundity of the quip
left us speechless. I
dropped an anchor
in her words and set
a hook that’s held
through storms and
as a mooring when
life is easy.
This year at
the Wooden Boat
Festival, under the hottest, brightest
sun of September, I circled back to that
reality, but this time I was in my 50s
and surrounded by hundreds of boat
owners and thousands of people who’d
found the same anchorage. Hidden
beneath the alluring beauty of our
wooden vessels and the blustering
pride of craftsmanship, a safe amount
of scope below the surface, was the
weighty truth. Life is short.
A friend in his 20s from
Florida knows it. Just a few
years ago, Korey Ruben
and his girlfriend drove
to Port Townsend to attend
their first Festival. Now,
he’s a graduate of the Boat
School (www.nwswb.edu)
and they own a Bob
Prothero designed sloop
called Virginia, moored
in Mystery Bay. With
only a half hour’s notice,
he helped me move my
1936 Danish Spidsgatter,
Pax, into her Festival
whom we’d worked
for a decade, who died
last year.
Festival icons Sam
Devlin and Carol Hasse,
now in their 60s know it.
In addition to running
their businesses,
juggling families and
getting their own boats,
the 1934 salmon troller,
Josephine, and 1959
Folkboat, Lorraine, ready
for Festival, we found
ourselves wracking
brains and hearts to

The volunteer Harbor Master, a years on the boards of Wooden Boat
former Captain of longboats and the Foundation and Northwest Maritime
Schooner Adventuress who’s now a Center, more than thirty years as lead
father in his 40s, knows it. When Daniel salesman for Edensaw Woods, was
Evans called to say my slip was ready, the west coast rep for WoodenBoat
I knew he was working from a chart magazine and a pillar in the Port
tediously developed by his former Townsend racing community. His
roommate, a brilliant colleague with Lapworth 45, Annie Too, was hauled
out at Boat Haven a few weeks
before Festival when he struck
ill and passed away. Two days
later, nearly 300 people walked
his boat to the launch ramp in
support of son, Adrian and wife,
Kate as they carry on his legacy
of family-beyond-blood. *

down the coast and out to Hawaii that
few younger boats would dare. Both
boats opened their decks and cabins to
thousands of people over the weekend
and presented to overflow audiences
onshore. As Martha entered the marina
a cacophony of boat horns welcomed
her home, inviting everyone
attending to the party.
I could see Bob Perry knows
it. He was onboard the racy 62’
day sailer Francis Lee, a boat he
designed for Kim Bottles that was
built at the NW School of Wooden
Boatbuilding and harkens back,
at least in part, to Bill Garden’s
Oceanus, a boat that stopped
Perry in his tracks at fifteen.
The boat was built by a who's
who of northwest craftspeople
and stood in dramatic contrast
to traditional classics like Deer
Leap, Elmore and Joshua Slocum
moored nearby. *

Race to Alaska challenges
Larry Ellison and Team Oracle USA to 2016 race
The details for the second Race
to Alaska were revealed at the Port
Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, and
while the format of the race remains
largely identical to the inaugural race,
the most significant change to the is a
challenge issued by race organizers to
Larry Ellison: If the former Oracle CEO
and his America’s Cup Team can simply
complete the Race to Alaska onboard
a boat that has been in the America’s
Cup, he will earn an honorary set of
R2AK steak knives, the race’s iconic
second place prize.
Now in its second year, the Race to
Alaska is a 750-mile boat race between
Port Townsend, WA and Ketchikan, AK,
that has few rules: no motors onboard,
no prearranged support. There are
no handicaps or classes for different
types of vessels and the first to cross
the finish line gets $10,000, the second
place team gets a set of steak knives.
In its first year, only 15 of the 35 teams
that entered crossed the finish line. The
race was started to demonstrate what
can be possible without an engine, and
that adventure can be had on virtually
any budget. Teams finished in vessels
ranging from racing trimarans, open
sailboats, outrigger canoes, and a kayak.
According to the rules of the R2AK,
teams can avail themselves of resources
that are available along the race route,
but only if those resources are available
to everyone, and nothing that has been
pre-arranged. Beattie elaborated, “You
can buy food, borrow tools, stay at a
hotel- you can even get a foot massage
if you want to- just as long as everyone
else could too.” Support boats and
onshore support teams are strictly
prohibited. “If it was a supported race
they’d win hands down, but if they are
just out there on their own could they
even make it to the finish line? Now
that’s an interesting question.”

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.

During ancient sea battles, sailors
launched pots of burning oil at enemy
ships.
Fridtjof Nansen led the first
expedition across Greenland, on skis,
in 1888.
The Galapagos Islands were the
first designated World Heritage Site,
in 1978.
Explorer Ernest Shackleton and crew
survived five months in Antarctica after
their ship, Endurance, was crushed by
ice in 1915.
When Norway gained independence
from Sweden in 1906, Nansen became
his country’s first ambassador to the
United Kingdom.
Borneo is the world’s only island
divided between three countries: Brunei,
Indonesia and Malaysia.
During Shackleton’s expedition he
journeyed 800 miles from Elephant Island
to South Georgia, Antarctica, with five
of his crew in the James Caird lifeboat.

of family life on the sea. From their
own experience and with information
from interviews with dozens of other
voyaging parents, they discuss caring
for an infant on board, handling the
changing needs of children
as they grow, education
options, ensuring parents
find the private time to
keep their relationships
in tune, and helping
children make the eventual
transition back to shore
life. Added to the authors’
voices are sidebars from
other cruising parents with
specialized information
on subjects as diverse as handling
special diets and how your children
can keep in touch with friends around
the world. A unique

Dometic Marine's XTC-ZTC
Double-Pass Watermaker is the first
and only fully automatic, integrated
double-pass reverse-osmosis system
that can purify every source of yacht
water, including seawater, brackish
water, lake water, river water, or
dockside water. It is also the first and
only watermaker with mechanical
override for full redundancy and peace
of mind. And, no other watermaker can
be operated and monitored remotely,
via smartphone, tablet or computer: The
XTC-ZTC can be operated from home,
a car or anywhere via the Dometic’s
Smart Touch Integrated Intelligence
Control software.
The XTC-ZTC
is a double-pass
system. The XTC side
of the system – the
first pass – makes
potable freshwater
from seawater and
feeds it to the ZTC system. The second
pass is through the ZTC system, which
further purifies the freshwater by
removing 95-99% of total dissolved
solids. The ultra-purified water is then
sent to the vessel’s storage tank. If at
port, boat owners can also use the ZTC
system to purify dockside water before
bringing it onboard.
The
ZTC
freshwater reverse
osmosis system
eliminates 95-99%
of all impurities
– including hardwater minerals,
heavy metals, particles, viruses, cysts,
bacteria, and radioactive contaminants –
creating fresh, clean drinking water. The
system removes dissolved solids which
leave water spots and are destructive
to marine paints, coatings, hardware
and other yacht finishes.

Diesel to Electric
Part 1: Installation
Figure 1: The motor beds are an
aluminum box that was cut and drilled
to use the original engine mount bolt
holes “A” (under the new mount),
“B”, & “C”. The height of the box at
“D” brings the electric motor up so it

By Jack and Alex Wilken
We recently removed the diesel
engine from our 1978 Yamaha 33
sailboat and installed an electric motor.
This month, we want to share some
of that process. Our interest in a nonfossil-fuel means of propulsion goes
back a long ways. But until now, we
have not put it into practice beyond
running our diesel engine on biofuel.
There are questions that we asked
and that people asked us; we will try
to answer some of them. The first one
is, “How fast or far will it go?” Then,
“How big of an electric motor do I
need?” “What kind and how many
batteries do I need?” These and other
questions give the general impression
that electric propulsion (EP) is
something new and not really well
understood. The reality is that electricpowered boats are not something new.
If we look at history, the evolution
of electric boats bears a striking
similarity to that of the electric car, and
both are tied to battery technology and
the price of petroleum. The golden age
of the electric boat can be considered
from 1880 to 1920 when the gasoline
outboard began its reign of terror with
both air and sound pollution. With
present day technological advances in
electric motors, pulse controllers, and
batteries, we may be set to begin the
next “Golden Age.”
The beginning of this project
started with the removal of the internal
combustion engine. We were careful to
keep every nut and bolt and to label
everything as much as possible. In the
end, this meant we had no problem
selling the old diesel. One issue in the
removal is the disposal of the cooling
system liquid and old fuel. This requires
that you have containers available and
know where to take them. Household
Hazardous Waste will take most, if not
all, of what you will need to dispose of.
Be sure to wear protective gear such
as gloves and a respirator (old sound
24
insulation can be nasty stuff) as well
as eye and ear protection if you are
grinding or banging on things.
Our house batteries were in the
same space as the engine, so we
moved them in order to keep all of the
electric propulsion in the same space
for reasons that we will go into later.
The old engine weighed just under
300 lbs. We were able to lift it out
through the hatch using the spinnaker
pole supported by a halyard with the
help of a 4-to-1 purchase of the boom
vang secured to the spinnaker pole at
the place that was supported by the
halyard.
The first step in the EP part of this
project was deciding on the size of
electric motor to install. This should
have been easy, but, as it turns out, is
a little confusing. We started from the
size of the diesel engine we were taking
out. Before going further we are going
to define some terms. In general it is
common to speak about horsepower
(hp) when we speak about engines. Hp
is a measurement of power reflecting
the rate at which work is done. This can
also be expressed in kilowatts (kw) or
Figure 2: The engine space is now home to the electric propulsion. “A” = electric
motor controller. “B” = electric motor. “C” = shore power battery charger.
“1 - 8” are the batteries.

1000 watts. Kilowatts is more common
when we speak about electric motors
because it is volts x amperes = watts.
In a very simplistic way, the volts are
the size of the pieces of electricity, the
amps are how many pieces there are,
and watts equals the power that they
represent. This means that if you want
a specific amount of power (hp or kw)
from your EP, you can either increase
the volts or the amperes. Torque is the
measurement of a turning force like the
flywheel. These units for the U.S. are in
a foot of movement per pound of force
(ft/lbs).
If we were repowering with diesel,
we would look at a range from 2 to 4 hp
per ton. In this case that would mean
10 to 20 hp. The Yamaha came with
a 12 hp Yanmar and we were always
happy with it, so we replaced it with
an equivalent sized electric motor
(around 8.95 kw). Anyone looking for
different performance than the motor
being replaced could adjust the kw of
the new motor accordingly.
The characteristics of the EP
are different from that of the diesel,
mainly in that the Yanmar produced
its maximum torque of 24 ft/lbs @
2200 rpm and the EP that we
chose produces a maximum
torque of 22 ft/lbs @ 0 rpm,
being rated at 2250 rpm. An
advantage of electric motors
is that they can put out nearly
max torque at any rpm. This
is the continuous rating of
this particular electric motor.
We found we had to be
careful to compare apples
to apples and not apples to
oranges since different EP
manufacturers post different
ratings, sometimes using
peak ratings which can vary
wildly as they depend on a
stated run time (these can be
quite short - as in minutes,
not hours). The continuous
torque & power for the motor
we put in are 22 ft/lbs & 7.4
kw while the peak is 54 ft/lbs
& 18.6 kw. The manufacturer
refers to it as 7 kw or 7000
watts. If that is not confusing
enough, there is a formula to
convert from hp to kw (1 hp
= 0.745699872 kw). So, if we
use that, the 12 hp Yanmar x

Fig. 3: It is important to equalize the voltage of all of
the batteries before connecting them in series to get
higher voltages. Connect all the positives together
and then all of the negatives together so that you
have one large 12 volt bank, “B”. Connect a marine
automatic charger, “A”, for two days and then let
sit for another 2 days. Now they are ready to install.

winds change?

Figure 4: Changing the reduction gear ratio on this electric propulsion unit is as
easy as changing the pulley, “A”, and belt, “B”.
0.745699872 = 8.95 kw, but we felt safe
with 7 kw since the torque is available
across the rpm range.
It is also important to note that
the size of diesel engines installed in
sailboats has steadily increased over
the last 50 or 60 years. This seems to be
a product of ‘bigger is better’ and the
fact that accurate calculations, from
tank testing etc., are usually not made
in the small boat arena like they are in
the super tanker world.
We then laid out the space starting
with the old engine beds, now to be
the motor beds. The Yamaha had metal
plates laminated on the underside of
the engine pan which were drilled and
threaded for the old engine mounts. We
cut a piece of aluminum box that was
the height we needed to raise the beds
to align the motor with the existing
propeller shaft (Figure 1, page 24), and
drilled it to match the old engine mount
holes. Maintaining or even improving
the integrity of the mounting system
is especially important if the propeller
thrust goes directly to the motor flange
as is the case if there is no thrust
bearing on the shaft. You can use hard,
adjustable engine mounts because
there is no motor vibration to transmit
to the hull and their only purpose is for
ease of alignment.
With motor location defined, next
you want to mount all propulsion
26
batteries in the same space to keep
cable runs short and to have them at
the same temperature, so you can use
a temperature compensated battery
charger. This is important. We were
able to fit eight 12 volt 100 amp hour
batteries wired for 48 volts giving us
200 amp hours of 48 volts. This meant
that if we cruised at a 40 amp-hour
(Ah) draw (about 3.5 to 4 knots), each
battery was discharging at 20 Ah which
is an efficient use of the batteries. A 200
Ah bank @ a 40 Amp draw = 5 hours
run time (See 48° North, May 2015). As
you increase the amperage draw above
lower levels, the amount of Ah you will
get out of the batteries will decrease.
We also mounted the motor
controller and battery charger in the
old engine space (Figure 2, page 24).
Before you connect the batteries for
48 volts they should all be connected
in parallel (positive to positive and
negative to negative) and charged with
an automatic marine 12 volt charger
for a couple of days. Then, let them
sit for another day or so to equalize
the voltage between all the batteries
(Figure 3, page 25).
Out in the cockpit, a lot of things
changed. The instrument panel with
tachometer, oil pressure, and water
temperature gave way to a battery
monitor and an on/off button with
built in warning light. The throttle with
October 2015
www.48North.com
its forward/reverse and transmission
disconnect mechanism was replaced
by a low effort electric throttle that has
detents for forward and reverse. Our
old throttle did not move easily and
had to almost be kicked into gear. The
new one can be easily operated with
your shin. You no longer are looking for
engine rpms but instead for amperage
draw and boat speed. We added some
extra instruments but only because
we want to fine tune the system for
max efficiency. These include an air
temperature gauge, a second voltmeter,
and shaft rpm counter. This will allow
us to try different gear reductions
and propeller pitches looking for the
sweet spot between boat speed and
maneuverability. To change the gear
reduction only requires replacing
a pulley and the toothed belt, and
changing the prop pitch is as easy as
unscrewing a set screw and replacing it
with a different one (Figure 4).
We were able to mount things
where they fit best, or where they
were most accessible, because of the
lack of position-sensitive parts. For
example, the controller is bolted to the
underside of the hinged cover with the
cables secured near the hinge point to
allow movement. You cannot do that,
for instance, with a fuel filter. The
batteries also can be mounted in any
position. The diesel engine itself, of
course, cannot be separated into bits
and mounted where it is convenient.
For most boats it is a pound for pound
and dollar for dollar swap. The weight
of the diesel motor and tank with fuel
to the electric motor with controller
and batteries are close to the same, and
the cost of the two are also similar. The
whole installation went as planned and
without any greasy hands or diesel
stained clothes. While underway, only
the sound of the propeller wash is
heard, and the ability to maneuver at
slow speeds without having to put the
engine into and out of gear is a real joy.
This article is about the installation of
electrical propulsion, but we would
be remiss not to comment on the quiet
that we enjoy both when sailing or
motoring.

“S
ay Pam, did you know
that the largest cyclone
ever recorded in the southern
hemisphere was named after you
a week ago?” I was clearing my
account, getting ready to clear
the country. The lumber store
manager looked at me like that
wasn't a nice thing to say.
“Isn't your boat down there
somewhere?”
“Yep, goin' on Wednesday.”
“When will you be back?”
“Seven months or so.” A
vacant stare and a quick shake of
the head told me something. The
manager of the building supply
store thinks I'm crazy. Oh well.
But, when a purse seiner captain
shakes his head like that, then
fixes his eyes on you, and says,
“yer crazy,” maybe its time to
start listening. “I’m moving on
tomorrow, Andy.”
“Headin' to Guam just
like that, huh?” The captain's
statement reaffirmed the reasons
why I'd stopped at Pohnpei,
and that all the items had been
checked off the lists. I should
be feeling more ready for sea
than this. Perhaps the prospect
of motoring 180 hours in calm,
hot, cyclone-breeding water
perpetuated anxiety. Waiting for
favorable wind this time of year
could very well expose a mariner
to deadly weather - causing
shipwreck conditions or death.
“Wanna hear my poem again?”
Before I could answer, captain Andy's
posture was stiff, a stage presence
could be felt. He didn't even scan
the potential audience of The Rusty
Anchor in Pohnpei. So long as someone
was around to hear, he orated with
the bravado of William Shatner. I'll
eventually get him to publish the poem.
When I touched down a few
days after cyclone Pam brushed the
Coromandle Peninsula, NZ, the miles
ahead, the work to be done, so much I
didn’t know... it does seem crazy.
Ninety calm miles west-northwest
from Pohnpei, my plastic water lock
muffler melted. Eight weeks prior, the
same thing happened. Five of those
weeks were spent waiting for shipment
of a replacement.
We visited the Vanuatu archipelago
help is not needed. Gratitude
and payment forward are the
currencies for salvation in this
tribe. People who haven't been
to sea don't even know the right
questions to ask.
There is always a friendly
willingness with the Pacific
Islanders. Often too transparent
to detect, however, is an
understandable
apprehension
about visitors. The local Pacific
Islanders differ far more between
one another than their geography
does, and the response to
travelers varies between the
island. I hypothesize that it
has much to do with which
nation is their protectorate, or
if they are self-governed. In my
opinion, French Polynesia has
the most overtly unwelcoming
attitude in all of Oceania. Their
feelings are rooted in pride and
betrayal, and I don't blame them
one bit. Cruising on a sailboat
allows a visitor to scratch the
social gel coat a bit. Beyond
the resorts where islanders are
paid to smile, serve, dance, and
welcome you, core feelings rise
to oxidize the surface of paradise
with topics like history, industry,
and
politics.
Imperialism,
Smallpox,
blackbirding,
nuclear bomb testing, and the
arrogant
presumption
that
they were 'discovered,' are sins
unforgivable like any genocide.
These wrongs are remembered by all
generations.
As Ingrid Princess trounced along
the trade wind route, we enjoyed more
jeweled islands, atolls, and lagoons.
Ingrid Princess made Rarotonga, Cook
Islands, giving her crew a completed
circle in life. We had visited the capital
of the Cooks dozens of times over the
past twelve years via Air New Zealand
when I partnered in the operation of the
game fishing vessel, Seafari. Rarotonga
was our introduction to the South
Pacific, where I cut my teeth capturing
the impressive pelagic fish. All the
maintenance and charter work of the 34'
Canadian workboat fueled a desire to
have a sailboat on the island, somehow.
Arriving via Ingrid Princess years later
with a small pod of humpbacks at the
Avaitu harbor entrance, we lived large

purely under sail power. How I miss
those tradewinds! Adrift north of the
convergence zone, we were forced to
sail back in winds from light to nothing,
praying for thunderstorms to hit so
something could fill the sails. During
the two-day return, I sent a request to
Andy on board Sea Bounty in Pohnpei.
We're gonna make an aluminum water
lock. He got the ball rolling.
It’s ironic for a greenie like myself
calling for help from a vessel that burns
tens of thousands of gallons of diesel
to over-harvest hundreds of thousands
of tons of tuna makes me contemplate
the role of this 'tribe' I've become a
part of. It's the people that make this
entire Pacific journey worthwhile and
unique. The mariners on the high seas
are ambitious and resourceful, and
equally generous to help, even when

for three weeks, enjoying our friends
and our old south Pacific home. Seafari
was still holding her own on the charter
boat quay under her new Kiwi owners.
One hundred fifty miles is close
proximity for any two of the fifteen
scattered Cook Islands. Due north,
Aitutaki, held a magnetism for us that
made it difficult to leave. Anywhere
population is sparse, social anxieties
and problems wane. Aitutaki's small
area and population make it an ideal
remote community with a large healthy
lagoon. Richard Story, an old fishing
buddy from Raro manages the ministry
of marine resources. During a lagoon
outing on his glass bottom research
boat to check on his giant clam farm,
he offered me a job running the boat
for tourists. All the more reason to stay.
Leaving Raro and a carpentry job offer
the previous week had been vexing.
My compulsion to continue exploring
with the Ingrid Princess, and eventually
return to my native land prevailed. In
retrospect, when I reconsider staying
in Aitutaki, I avoid regret by reminding
myself that we can always return. It's
all downwind after all.
With permission from Cook
Islands immigration (handled by
the son of castaway and author, Tom
Neale, famous for An Island To Oneself)
we departed Aitutaki for Palmerston
Atoll, 350 miles west. Our float plan
to buddy boat with S/V Code Blue from
Seattle filtered through the coconut
network, and we were requested to
deliver food to the struggling atoll.
“God will bless you in a mighty way,”
the father of Palmerston's mayor
proclaimed as the last dink ferry was
loaded. I surveyed the deck full of
goods, accepting the blessing.
“I hope so, I'm departing on a
Friday with four hundred pounds of
bananas.” Skip assured me later that
the double negative canceled out the
bad luck.
We had a fast smooth passage,
out sailing our buddy, a Caliber
40, and were greeted like saints in
Palmerston, population sixty-three.
This community, all named Marsters,
is in the anthropological echelon of
locations such as Pitcairn. After a
gastronomic feast, considered lunch in
Palmerston (surprising and incredibly
generosity, considering this was a
hungry island that hasn't had a regular
28
food delivery in two months), we all
enjoyed an island tour. There are no
roads on Palmerston. We met all the
influential leaders of the community,
including descendants of the author
Robert Dean Frisbie. After too much
shipwreck talk and a half gallon of ice
cream each (another surprise), both
boats decided to get moving for Nuie.
Returning to the lagoon with a few
kilos of parrot fish in an empty plastic
ice cream tub made me wonder if we
consumed more during our stay than
we actually delivered from Aitutaki.
Clocking winds were creating a
vulnerable situation for our offshore
lee-side moorings. Due to the usual
mental programing of impending
time at sea, sleep was intermittent
that night. Or, maybe it was just the
the song of the humpback. A pod had
taken temporary residence in the lee
of the atoll within the mooring field.
The familiar pre-passage trickle of
adrenalin coursed while laying in
bunk. The ocean mammals chatting
all night kept my pelagic, roaming
animal-brain alive. We will continue to
New Zealand as planned, and then sail
home to Oregon.
A protectorate of New Zealand,
the Cook Island Maori people possess
what I found to be a mild disdain
, most evident on the
for the papa‘a
crowded capitol island of Rarotonga.
This feeling is mitigated by the pride
of sovereignty within the Cook Island
people, but resentment is ever present.
With hospitality and welcoming spirit
second perhaps to Fiji, the visitor gets
the feeling that they are just that, no
matter what history or method of
arrival; if you're not native Maori,
you don't belong. This cultural rift
was created by white men during
colonization. It is by no means a reason
not to visit!
I had an epiphany while strolling
hand in hand with my wife down a
beach in Fiji, away from the resort
where Ingrid Princess was anchored
in the pass. In my head, there on that
beach, was a whirling memory of the
islands and the painful work required
to get our boat there, all in one sweaty,
tropical cocktail. I admired a large
rocky boil where ancient magma had
broken through the earth's crust to meet
seawater. Happy to appreciate some
rare geology above the sea surface, I

realized how spoiled I am as a native
of the Pacific Northwest.
“Our home waters are even more
beautiful than this,” I stopped and
turned to my wife. I felt despondent.
“Did we sail ten thousand miles to
understand that?” Knowing she had
already surmised this, I continued
wondering aloud, “paradise is not
some place you go. It's what you call
the place around you.”
Further down the beach, away from
the resort's sprawling property, plastic
rubbish beyond the area raked clean by
the resort's employees appeared.
Fiji has perfected the tropical
tourism industry, a simple matter for
the friendliest people on the planet.
Still riding high on independence from
British rule, and the Rugby 7's victory,
Fiji's ‘bula’ spirit is as old as kava. Even
the customs officials are charming.
During departure from Vuda Point
marina, the staff congregates around
your boat to sing. Security guards,
laundry maids, waitresses, and office
staff, all gather smiling and singing.
This wasn't like your birthday at
Hoosong and Larry's Mexican Cantina,
the Fijians blessed us with their song.
With the goal to return Ingrid
Princess to Oregon by October of the
same year, cruising time was coming
to an end. We had one month left for
Vanuatu, and then it became delivery
time to get home. Due to the melted
muffler upon arrival in Port Vila, we
could not use the engine. Instead of
waiting in the stinky capital, we sailed
throughout several of the eighty-three
islands in the archipelago. Moving
north, we ended up in Espiritu Santo.
Vanuatu is a wild place, and with
some planning a very worthy cruising
ground.
If you are in need of a crucial boat
part while in these waters, it may be
best to fly to Aukland and pick up the
part personally. A month of waiting
can be reduced to a few days, and
shipping costs are over half the price
of airfare. Cruising without the diesel
created a few hardships, and limited
our mobility, but with fifteen to twenty
knots of southeast wind everyday,
sailing to and from anchorages on our
way north was not a problem.
Tracy Hollister and the “Ingrid
Princess” are presently making the passage
back to their home in Oregon.
The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea
Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
In early September, the Puget Sound Express
whale-watching boat crew spied a rare Fin Whale
off Whidbey Island, the first one spotted in the
Salish Sea in decades. The Fin is the second largest
mammal on the planet and named for its slender,
fin-backed shape. I honestly didn’t know much
about them, so I did some reading – and this is such
an interesting creature that I wanted to share what I
found. These whales are gigantic, for sure, and can
become almost 90 feet long and can weigh 165,000
pounds. How big is this? A single fin whale could
produce 660,000 whale burgers, or enough for every
person in Seattle with leftovers. Don’t worry, I’d be
willing to bet most of us would order something else.
Like other whales, this one was hunted (and
still is), and it’s reported that between 1905
and 1976, over 725,000 were slaughtered in the
Southern Hemisphere alone. Fins, or Finbacks, were
described by naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews as
the greyhound of the sea for their slender body that
is “built like a racing yacht… which can surpass the
speed of the fastest ocean steamship.” What caught
my eye was the somewhat hidden description of the
Fin’s eating style. Being a baleen whale, it filters small
fish and crustaceans, shrimp and krill, by simply
opening its mouth wide, lunging forward and taking
in whatever is in front of it - and then straining
out what’s unnecessary (including about half the
ocean). It’s not just a dainty mouth (my drawings
tell it all)! And, by this technique, a fin can consume
about 4,000 pounds of food each day, probably
explaining how it can grow so large in the first place.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
Machete Man:
A Day Among New People
“Remember, it’s not ‘ndje ndje’
here,” I said to Behan while hopping
out of the dinghy. “‘Ndje ndje’” is a
common greeting on Anjouan Island,
in the language of the tiny East African
island nation of Comoros, 250 miles
west of the beach in Madagascar where
we just landed. Anchored in their front
yard, 25 expressionless villagers waited
for us to say something. Beginning
with the wrong greeting wasn’t likely
to impact our visit, unless locally, “ndje
ndje” means light the fire because lunch
just arrived. But with no common
spoken language between us, body
language, miming, and sand drawings
make slow work of understanding one
another.
Of course, cannibalism isn’t a
worry here; that was back in New
Guinea and Borneo. Still, you never
really know how people will respond
to aliens anchoring in their front yard.
And, as guests in faraway places, it can
take us some time to learn the local
language and communication customs.
Worldwide communication has
never been easier. With internet access
or a satellite phone, the hardest part of
staying connected to friends that are
oceans apart is timing so as to not wake
them in the wee hours of morning.
Comoros and Madagascar are on
the short list of the absolute poorest
countries, yet getting wireless internet
access to Totem is easy. It takes a local
sim card that costs $6 dollars and a
data plan that ranges from $6 to $15
per gigabyte. Speed and reliability are
frustrating and coverage is spotty, but
it makes our little slice of home feel so
much bigger than Totem’s 47 feet. Pretty
incredible, considering the annual per
capita income in Madagascar is well
below $1,000 USD (amounts vary by
sources making estimates).
Even good old fashioned face-toface verbal communication is usually
easy since English, or some English-ish
variation, is so widely spoken. In Papua
New Guinea alone, there are more than
800 languages spoken. Neighboring
islanders have languages without
a common word between them,
but most people also speak pidgin
English. In Totem’s cockpit, we had no
trouble understanding Papuans, who
had never seen a computer and had
no concept of satellites, tell stories
of bird clans and real mermaids that
steal children. Africa has about 1,600
languages.
Back on the beach in Madagascar,
we began conservatively with the
25
stone-faced
villagers.
A
hearty
smile
and
confident
“bonjour” seemed
as good a way as
any to start. Note:
a French speaking
crew member is

words in French:

(little pig). Given the traces of Islam
here, we knew to keep the little pig out
of our introduction. “Merci” seemed
premature since they could’ve run us
off the beach if they didn’t like our
“ndje ndje!”
“Bonjour” worked, and the senior
male of the group replied in what
sounded like passable French. As he
spoke, his eyes stayed downward,
focused on the glass shard tool that he
was using to shape the new wooden
handle of a large, well used machete.
We didn’t understand a word he said.
We kept on with the smiles and gybed
away from the little French that we
knew and loved. We tried a Frenchish accented pidgin English variant.
Machete man looked up, paused, gave
a broad smile and said something in
another language altogether different.
The last word he said, while breaking
into gut busting laughter, sounded like
“Anglais.” The others began laughing
as well. We felt pretty certain that we
weren’t on the menu. They understood
that we only spoke English.
Cruisers always hope to encounter
friendly locals. Hopefully, they’re
so friendly that they will invite you
to share a meal and serve sea turtle
steaks, or the delicacy in Madagascar,
lemur brains. That is the perfect time to
mime, respectfully, that we cannot eat
sea turtle or lemur, just as they cannot
eat cochonnet. Or maybe they convey
a message of wanting to collect our
garbage. What gracious hosts! Then
you realize that the trash has treasures,
such as plastic containers, that make
life a little easier. Meanwhile, the shy,
curious children play about, and teen
boys launch a dugout canoe. They are
off to fish next to the alien ship, the
lucky spot.
When you cannot understand
the words, behaviors carry so much
meaning and are always wrapped
in questions. Was the man and his
machete giving a “don’t mess with us”
display or just working through his
to-do list for the day? He was sitting
with downward eyes – a submissive
gesture perhaps? Was it risky behavior
on our part just being there? A boat
with far more monetary value than the
islanders’ collective wealth and five
strange people that could just as easily
disappear.
In the prior few weeks, we sailed
from Port Victoria Seychelles to
Comoros, but paused after 600 miles
at uninhabited Cosmoledo Atoll
for a break from rough weather. We
anchored in a narrow sand patch
between a coral reef and 3,000 foot
drop off to wait for gentler weather
that did not come. From there was a 250
mile sail, 80 of which we did in eight
hours, to Anjouan Island in Comoros
for a clearance process that took four
days. Arrival in Comoros also marked
the first time in three months that we
were out of the area designated by
Lloyd’s as high risk for East African
piracy. Very few cruisers visit Comoros
(just one boat we know of in 2014), so
we stood out. One lucky day we were
boarded twice by different groups of
police wearing dirty boots speaking a
local dialect and French trying to take
our passports.
Those are just a few recent
highlights, and admittedly they sound
unsettling. With patient communication
the Comorian police departed with
smiles, no passports, and a
liter of gas because they had
run out. It took two years
of research before feeling
comfortable crossing a corner
of the high risk piracy area (and
with no piracy in that period).
There were no inhabitants on
Cosmoledo to play charades
with, but anchoring on the
leeward side stitch of sand
gave us rest and a chance to
commune with countless sea
birds and sea turtles (none of
which were eaten).

W hat G oes B ump
in the N ight ?
By Gregory A. Larsen
The current time is 0229 am on July
5. I can’t sleep, so I start writing in my
journal. Our boat Nordic Sun, a C&C 39
out of Tacoma, has been rolling a little
due to the swells beating against the
rocks in Ikeda Cove entrance causing
the waves to turn and roll down into
the cove. Ikeda Cove is located in the
Gwaii Haanas national park, in Haida
Gwaii (formally Queen Charlotte
Islands), British Columbia. Mind you,
the rebounded waves are only small,
but they do make the boat roll. It is
eerily quiet, with the wind not blowing
at all, especially with the gale force
32
wind forecast for southern Hecate
Strait. Occasionally, a big wave rolls
by causing the mainsheet block on
the traveler to rattle due to a slightly
loose mainsheet. The rattling has been
keeping me awake for an hour or
more. Just about when I’m asleep, the
block rattles again causing me to be
jolted back awake. I eventually get up
and crank in on the mainsheet winch
making the sheet drum tight. This
stops the rattling. Now, maybe I can get
some sleep.
Shortly after climbing back in my
bunk, the wind starts to blow. I can hear
October 2015
www.48North.com
it in the whistling through the rigging.
I can feel the boat swing on the hook.
When it swings just right, the wind
comes through the small three inch
gap in the companionway hatch, left
that way intentionally to allow a little
air in the boat. The breeze blows right
down on me, in the quarter berth bunk.
This causes me to pull my bedding
up over my exposed arms. I pull the
covers right up to my nose trying to
stay comfortable. This was easier than
closing the hatch.
The
wind
slowly
builds.
Occasionally the gusts are so strong
they make the boat heel over 5 or
10 degrees. The boat rights itself as
it arcs across the bay on the anchor.
Are the gale force winds they’ve been
forecasting causing the wind in the
harbor? Or are these just williwaws
coming down from the hills and valleys
around us? The wind only makes me
worry more that we might drag anchor.
All this worrying is keeping my mind
active and keeping me from drifting off
to a peaceful sleep.
I turn the GPS on so I can
occasionally look at it to determine our
position in the bay. I’m fairly confident
our anchor will hold with all the chain
and nylon line I have out. Plus, we
have a good muddy bottom to hold the
anchor. All the same, I’m still concerned.
I can see a nice arc that the GPS has
made as it tracks our every swing on
the display. Heather eventually gets
up and pulls the cushions in from the
cockpit so they don’t blow away.
I look at the GPS again. I monitor
our speed across the anchor swing
arc, .7, .8, 1.0 knot. As I monitor the
GPS I’ve seen us with speeds up to 1.2
knots while we track across our GPS
arc in the wind. Our speed drops to
The entrance to Ikeda Cove
0.0 when we hit the end of the arc, and
we start our track back in the opposite
direction. I can tell what direction we
are tracking across the harbor by which
way we’re heeled. First we are tracking
to the right, then the left, then back
to the right. I can even feel the boat
change direction as it gets to the end of
one side of the arc and starts back the
other way. It’s like the tea cup ride in
Disneyland when you are spinning one
way, and the tea cup starts spinning
in the opposite direction. The only
difference is you enjoy the Disneyland
ride, where our swinging arc ride in
Ikeda Cove is more worrisome than

fun. A complete arching cycle lasts a
few minutes, then the cycle repeats,
over and over again. How many miles
will this put on the GPS? Currently the
odometer says 570. This means in the
last two days, when the GPS has been
on, Nordic Sun has traveled a mile just
going back and forth in the harbor
swinging on the anchor.
It is now 0439. My laptop battery
starts to run out of charge as I get the
10% left capacity message. The cord
is not within reach, so I stop writing
and start reading my book, hoping this
will help keep my mind off the wind
swirling around outside. I monitor the
GPS with every page turn. With each
check I find we are still swinging on
the same track as we always have. I’m
reading a book about a shipwreck due
to a failed anchor on a schooner. This
makes me wonder when my number
will be up and our anchor will fail to
hold our position in the cove. The more
I monitor the GPS and find we are still
making a perfect arc, the less concerned
I get. But if the wind should rise, I’m
sure I’ll be even more concerned.
Eventually I put my book down and
try to sleep, which is not easy. I still
keep looking at the GPS after every
large gust wondering if Nordic Sun’s
position is off our perfect arc. Once,
after one of the exceptionally strong
gusts Heather gets up and slides the
hatch back. She peeks out to see where
we are. I inform her that the GPS says
we are right where we have always
been. She confirms this as she scans the
harbor under the light of a nearly full
moon and cloudless sky.
This morning I awoke at around
0600 when I heard the boat bump into
something. Thinking it was bumping
the bottom, I jumped up and turned on
the depth sounder that is in the cabin.
It reads 8 feet, and the shallow water
alarm is beeping continually. I look
out and it appears we are in the correct
position. I look down in the water and
don’t see bottom. I start the motor
anyway. It starts but when I put it in
gear it dies. I start the motor again, and
then it dies again. On the third try the
motor barely turns over and doesn’t
start. The multiple starts did their toll
to our already low battery bank. Then
I push the start button one more time
to see if it turns over at all. It barely
does, but for some odd reason it fires
this time. I put the motor in gear and
give it gas. We slowly motor toward
the direction of the anchor and into the
wind that is buffeting the boat. This
takes us away from the shoal behind
the boat. I didn’t remember seeing an
exposed rock yesterday when the tide
was out, so what did we hit? I look at the
GPS and it says we are still in the same
sweeping arc. I’m puzzled! I turn the
other depth sounder that is positioned
at the wheel on, and read the depth it
registers. I first read 0, and then read
nothing. This is quite unusual. I flip the
switch on the depth sounder off and
on to reset it. Still no depth reading.
All the time the other depth sounding
is reading 8 feet and the shallow water
alarm is beeping away. I switch the
depth sounder off and on again. This
time it finally acts normal and reads 41
feet. Why are the two depth sounders
reading two different depths? This is
very confusing and causes me concern.
Which one is right? I then review the

setting on the depth sounder in the
cabin and find that I somehow had
changed the settings yesterday, when
I was fiddling with it. I left the depth
range in fathoms instead of feet. That
explains it! There are six feet to a
fathom, so eight fathoms is 48 feet. My
fear of the anchor dragging and putting
us dangerously close to the rock is
no longer a concern. I shut down the
motor and climb back below.
Once down below I notice the
inverter and the outlet list lights on
our instrument panel are not on. This
tells me my inverter has shut off due
to a low voltage in my battery bank.
This means my battery bank is now
too low to start the motor or run the
refrigerator/freezer unit. I drag the
generator up on deck, tie it on, then
start it. Heather brings out the cord; I
plug one end into the generator while
she plugs the other end into the boats
shore power outlet. I then reset the
inverter. The inverter and outlet lights
come back on. I try to go to sleep; I’m
extremely tired from monitoring the
GPS for the last two hours, and being
kept awake for another hour listening
to the banging mainsheet block. It is
now even harder to drift off because of
the droning of the generator running
nearly right above my head. It is also
rattling against a stanchion so it makes
even more racket than normal. I’m so
tired I just let the generator bang the
stanchion while it charges the batteries.
I let the generator run for around two
hours. It stops on its own when it runs
out of gas.
I drift off to sleep, then wake up,
and then drift off again. This restless
sleep cycle goes on for the next few
hours. I monitor the GPS every time
I awake. We are always swinging
across the same arch on the GPS. The
odometer now read 571. Another mile
of progress to nowhere as we swing on
the anchor in the gusty winds.
As the morning rolls on, we
decided to stay anchored here another
day. Now that the outboard motor
is mounted on the transom, and the
inflatable is partly deflated and on
the deck, I guess we are destined to
stay on the boat all day. It is a great
day. Total blue sky above, but there
are hazy clouds to the southwest and
the northwest. The weather radio still
announces a gale force wind warning
for all day. Tomorrow it sounds like
the wind will be down a little in the
morning. It will be a good day for some
reading about the men shipwrecked
on an island in the southern ocean in
the winter. At least if we end up on
the beach, which is doubtful, we will
not have to deal with the bitterly cold
weather they are enduring in July.
The tide eventually goes out,
dropping the water level in the bay 16.1
feet according to the tide table based
on Atli Inlet 29 miles away. There are
no rocks exposed at low tide. At least I
know my light weight Fortress anchor
will hold my boat in position in gale
force winds. But next time gale force
winds are in the forecast, I’m going
to put down my 45 pound CQR and
more chain to provide me with more
confidence and more sleep in the kind
of conditions we rode out last night. So
what did go bump in the night? I will
never know.

Van Isle vs. Vic Maui
(And Pac Cup)
By Andy Schwenk
Photo courtesy of Linda Vermeulen.
I recently queried a buddy about
the difference between Vic Maui
and Van Isle. His response: “about 8
hours.” Another joker replied that they
both have the same number of letters
in the title. He did point out that the
contrast in the races is the length of the
delivery home after the race. Of course
that can all vary too, but let’s put aside
the wise guys I hang out with and take
a closer look. For reference I’m basing
my Vic Maui, and to a lesser extent Pac
Cup and Transpac, on 20 race crossings
(plus 22 other Pacific passages) and
Van Isle on just two circumnavigations.
Vic Maui and Pac Cup (VMPC, for
short) are scheduled on even number
years, Van Isle on the odd number
years. They are generally the same
time of year and require about the
same time commitment from captain
and crew. Check carefully and you
will find the safety requirements and
boat capabilities very similar. The Pac
Cup, from San Francisco to Kaneohe,
Hawaii, allows much smaller boats
than Vic Maui, although there has been
talk of allowing smaller boats to race in
Vic Maui if they are able to provision for
the greater distance and colder starting
conditions. Each of these are “Bucket
List” type races that most true sailors
probably want to do at least once in a
lifetime, and some many more.
If you are into hot showers,
terrific food and comfortable sleeping
arrangements, you’ll either need a
36
boat that is likely longer than you are
old, or sign up for the Van Isle. (The
Captain scoffs at this one…). Each of
the 10 legs over the 14 days of Van Isle
360 is hosted by a friendly community,
typically with a signature sponsor
providing a scrumptious meal. With
prior planning by the obligatory road
crew, an RV or hotel can be set up in
each port so that sleeping is much more
comfortable. Luckily, Vancouver Island
is beautiful so it’s not a terrible job to
drive around it following sailboats as
the road crew.
VMPC boats mostly try to provide
healthy simple meals, augmented
by an occasional treat provided by
Neptune himself, and the skilled
fishermen on board. If you’ve never
had tuna from the salt chuck you know
why sailors never confuse it with the
stuff from a can. Bunks on an ocean
racing boat are cozy, which helps you
stay in them asleep for the few hours
of rest that you will get when you’re
off watch. Stay away from large open
bunks, which look relaxing but end
up with sailors tossed out and about.
Generating warm water for showers on
an ocean racing boat is kind of a lesson
in cross purposes. If we’re trying to
get across an ocean in a hurry why are
we carrying loads of water, hot water
tank, pressure system, fuel to heat
it, or a power-hungry watermaker?
(the Captain scoffs again…the best
hot shower in the world is one in the
October 2015

middle of the Pacific, but we digress).
During my last trip across the Pacific,
double handed to Hawaii we used less
than 20 gallons total for the race.
Many books have been written
about boat preparation. Sail selection
is the key to either race. Typically, on
the Van Isle you will want your light
air upwind quiver ready on the inside
and the big air downwind hamper
ready for the slide down the outside.
Beware, because this can vary. This
summer, there was big breeze most
of the way! On VMPC some boats
opt to leave the big genoa on the
dock and enjoy a rating credit that
can equal several hours of corrected
time in the land of coconuts. Reaching
sails are revolutionizing these races.
Asymmetrical spinnakers, Code Zeros,
Jib Tops and Blast Reachers, along with
a selection of staysails, should keep the
foredeck crew busy. Knowing which
sail to use and when, as well as where
to place a sheet lead,will separate your
“round the cans” racer type from the
blue water crowd. Generally, open and
twisty shapes help keep the boat speed
up in wind and waves.
Chances are, you are going to tear
up a sail or two in these long distance
races. Throw a few extra needles in the
sail repair kit and a bunch of insignia
(sticky back sail cloth or tape) for the
likely repairs. The advantage of Van
Isle is that as long as it isn’t raining you
can find a big enough spot to lay out
the pieces of your damaged sail! You
might even find a sail maker or two
around camp to help you out. Inside
a crowded offshore yacht with all the
hatches latched to keep the waves out,
and no heater to dry out the sail cloth,
repairs are often difficult.
Navigation is a premium in either
race. Someone has to be in charge, and
someone else needs to be savvier than
the infamous Capt. Hazelwood, and
it’s a premium if someone is handy
with navigational software and isn’t
afraid of laptop computers. Here is an
opportunity for the skipper to look for
a crew person who brings a spectrum of
skills, rather than a superman who can
get the genoa through the fore triangle
the fastest in a buoy race. Either way,
make sure you put a crew together
that will stick together in fair weather
or foul. At some point, things will go
sideways, and probably literally.
Speaking of crew harmony, it may
be one of the biggest factors that you
will remember after the race. While
you need skilled crew who are able
to trim and drive, and hopefully do
some tricks on the bow, you also need
crew who will do the dishes. There will
be dishes, and hot coffee, and things
that have nothing to do with sailing.
Everyone will need to do their part or
it will fall apart. While on the VMPC,
nobody is going to abandon ship or
mutiny, but crew dynamics can have
a great effect on the experience. Land
is always only two miles away, but it
is straight down. On the Van Isle, crew
get a chance to bail on you nearly every
night. Boats can swap crew, crews can
swap responsibilities, and some can join
the road crew for a leg. Behind every
successful Van Isle boat is a dedicated
road crew vehicle. These range from a
simple pick-up truck hauling the spare
main and extra oatmeal to fancy RV’s
full of steak dinners, a wine cabinet,
and the family pet.
Each race is a sum of its parts.
Vic Maui is a battle out the Straits, a
duel down the Coast, and a drag race
through the Trades. The Van Isle is a
beat up the inside, a reach over the top,
and a sleigh ride home. Pac Cup and
Transpac both start just north of the
Trades, so the sooner you get to them
the sooner you will enjoy a mai-tai.
These are the descriptions provided
by the race organizers... your actual
experience may vary. Whether your
goal is to set records or you would be
happy with the Turtle Award for simply
finishing, the satisfaction is real. Do a
few warm ups, like Round the County,
Oregon Offshore, Southern Straits
and Swiftsure. For the double handed
crowd, Race to the Straits, Northern
Century, and Round Saltspring are
popular. Southern Straits and Swiftsure
have added double handed divisions
in recent years as well.
Build on what you learn. Work
your way to the bottom of your list and
start a new one. When the rain falls
this winter and the darkness comes
early, let your mind drift. Better yet,
slip on down to the Seattle Boat Show
at the end of January. Talk to industry
professionals on the topics that interest
you or listen to a seminar. Consider
these great adventures, and come join
the fun. You will be glad you did.

Small Craft Advisory
Know Your Forecast!
By Lee Chesneau
“Small Craft Advisory” (SCA). A SCA
can be issued for wind, waves, and
even ice, and is specific to geographic
areas of the coastal and inland waters
of the U.S.
For winds, the normal range
will be somewhere between 21 to 33
knots. Keep in mind we are referring
to sustained winds. The NWS criteria
is wind averages of one minute.
Momentary wind gusts lasting just a
few seconds are sometimes up to 40
percent higher than sustained winds,
and are generally not within the
realm of absolute accurate forecasting.
However, some West Coast forecast
offices do forecast them, and base their
advisories, watches, and warnings on
gusts.
The criteria for wave heights,
defined as “the average of one third of
the waves present,” will also be variable.
In Morehead City, NC, waves of five
feet will constitue a SCA; in Seattle, it
is ten feet. Wave steepness comes into
play, too. The reason for this variance is
the constituent mariner base for those
geographic locations that the NWS
serves, whether it is predominantly
recreational power boaters (Morehead
City) or the commercial fishing
industry in Seattle, WA.
A SCA may also be
issued for “Rough Bar”
conditions on the Grays
or Columbia River Bars
in western Washington,
or when sea or lake
ice exists that could be
hazardous to vessels
and small boats. See the
following links for the
official NWS criterion
for SCA’s (http://www.
nws.noaa.gov/om/
marine/faq.htm#13).

conditions
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/marine_map.htm
As we enter the windier seasons,
any boater -- whether cruising inshore,
near shore, or especially offshore -should carefully consider the following
with regard to the forecast weather
conditions before leaving the dock:
What marine advisories, watches,
and warnings are contained in the
marine forecasts that are in play
in the next 5 days? If within the
margin of safety…cast off. If not, stay
put. If underway, seek appropriate
anchorages, harbors, or marinas.
When it comes to marine weather
forecasts, the number one priority is
knowledge of the present and future
forecast of marine advisories, watches,
and warnings! A comprehensive
understanding
of
what
those
advisories, watches, and warnings
mean makes that choice a lot easier.
These are generated and issued
by the National Weather Service
(NWS), the largest field office under
the administrative auspice of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA). A critically
important function of the NWS is its
marine forecast program. The lowest
criterion for a marine warning is
actually a marine advisory called a

keep many recreational vessels,
whether under power or sail, from
leaving the dock and are often enough
for vessels underway to seek shelter
as soon as feasible (most forecasts
are out to five days). However, if
SCA conditions are forecast beyond
24-hours, then a “Watch” is in the
headline.
For marine warnings criteria, the
next category up from a SCA is a GALE
WARNING (34-47 knots sustained),
then up to STORM WARNING (4863 knots sustained), and finally,
HURRICANE FORCE WARNING
(64 knots and higher, sustained or
gusts). As the case is for SCA, a
“Watch” will cover warning criteria
for the appropriate conditions beyond
24-hours. The severity of the warnings
levels beyond SCA are such that nearly
all recreational sailors should stay on
the dock or seek shelter, given the wind
conditions and wave heights which
are exponentially higher, drastically
increased from the linear increase
within SCA wind ranges.
There is no precise definition of
what a small craft is (physical size).
Any vessel, no matter its physical size,
that may be adversely affected by SCA
criteria should be considered a small
craft. Other important considerations
must also include the experience of the
vessel operator (includes crew), as well
as the type and sea worthiness of the
vessel.
If you’d like to keep up with
the latest marine forecasts (SCA’s
and other weather phenomena and
information), a local NWS forecast
office will have marine weather
advisories, watches, and warnings,
and forecast responsibilities. Active
sailors are likely familiar with where to
find the local forecasts, but cruisers or
travelers may find out of area forecasts
to be more difficult to find. Refer to the
map in Figure 1, where one can choose
the local NWS forecast office of interest,
and click on to get your marine forecast
in either text or graphic format.

Galley Essentials with Amanda
Choosing a Halloween Pumpkin
Aladdin, Baby Boo, Howden Biggie,
Iron Man, Red Warty Thing and Old
Zebs. No, these are not the names of
Halloween characters, just a sample of
the many varieties of pumpkin.
Many are surprised to learn that
pumpkins are a type of fruit and not a
vegetable because they contain seeds.
Most pumpkins yield about a cup of
seeds – delicious!
Pumpkins
by Amanda Swan Neal
Pumpkins belong to the same
cucurbit family as squash, watermelons,
and cucumbers, and most grow on
vines (though not all).
The early “heritage” versions of
pumpkins were not the big orange
Three Sisters Soup
basketball-shapes we see now in the
pumpkin patches or in crates in front
of grocery stores. In fact, the smaller
and more misshapen early pumpkins
would have been very difficult to carve
into a Jack-o-Lantern or stick onto the
shoulders of a headless horseman.
It is well known that pumpkins
were grown with corn and beans in
early settlements – the three came to
be known as the “Three Sisters.” The
practice was to train beans to grow up
the corn stalks for support, and the
low-lying squash is thought to prevent
ground weeds from sprouting. And,
like all beans, they return nitrogen to
the soil to help nearby plants.
While it is too late to start growing
pumpkins now for a fall 2015 harvest,
luckily the wonderful fruit is available
fresh in most markets and farm areas
this month, and of course available in
the can form year round.
Three Sisters Soup
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 onion - diced
1 red or orange bell pepper - diced
2 cups diced pumpkin
12 garlic cloves - minced
5 cups of stock or water

1 teaspoon ground ancho chile
1 teaspoon aleppo chili flakes
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
2 cups corn 2 cups cooked black beans
juice of one lime
1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
salt and freshly ground pepper
In a large soup pot heat oil, add
onion and bell pepper; cook 2 minutes.
Add pumpkin and garlic and cook
10 minutes. Add the water, salt, chili,
paprika, bring to a boil. Add corn and
black beans and simmer until vegetables
are cooked, approximately 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice
and cilantro. Season to taste. Serves 4.
Native Americans survived the
long, cold winters with the help of
pumpkin, which keep well. The sweet
flesh was used in numerous ways:
dried, roasted, baked, parched, and
boiled. Dried pumpkin could be stored
and ground into flour. They ate the
seeds, used them as a medicine, and
added the blossoms to stews. The outer
pumpkin shells were also dried and
used for bowls and containers to store
grain, beans and seeds.
The Pilgrims sliced the top off of
pumpkins, scooped out the seeds and
filled the cavity with cream, honey, eggs
and spices. They replaced the top and
buried the pumpkin in the hot ashes
of a cooking fire. When it was cooked
they removed the blackened pumpkin
and ate the inner spiced custard along
with the pumpkin flesh.
These early settlers even made
beer from pumpkins when there was
a shortage of barley and hops.

H S tar H
N orth A mericans
S
tar sailors from across the United
States and Canada convened
in Seattle for the 2015 Star North
American Championship in early
September. They were greeted by
strong breezes initially. In fact, a little
too much wind kicked off the District
Championship the weekend before,
which served as a warm-up for the big
event. Saturday’s gusts reached over
35 knots and the fleet stayed on shore.
Sunday, the winds were more tame
and the Corinthian Yacht Club race
committee got off three good races
with Brian Ledbetter/Josh Revkin
taking the early lead by winning the
first race. Carl/Jamie Buchan started
to work their way back in the next
race, setting up a showdown for the
last race, which they took for the win.
The next few days gave everyone a
chance to finalize their preparation for
the North Americans. As usual with
the Star Class, there is no shortage
of history and tradition. This regatta
marked the fourth time the event
has been held on Puget Sound since
1948, when local sailors Charlie and
Bob Ross finished first ahead of
a talented fleet including young
Southern Californians Bill Ficker and
Lowell North. Watching that event
was a 13 year old Bill Buchan, who
built himself a boat the following year
and then took the North American’s
with crew Jay Winberg when they
were held here next in 1962. Bill
competed in this year ’s regatta with
Erik Bentzen.

Championship was presented by
CSR Marine and North Sails Seattle,
and hosted by Seattle Yacht Club,
who assembled a “dream team” race
committee with expertise from local
sailors as well as from outside the
area. The committee made several
excellent calls on when and where to
set the course throughout the event.
Following a practice race on
Wednesday, the first race of the North
Americans on Thursday saw local
sailors Dalton Bergan/Ben Glass lead
wire to wire to start off with a win in
light to moderate conditions. The next
race belonged to George Szabo/Isao
Toyama from San Diego who finished
first to take the series lead. George and
Isao looked tough, but when the next
day, Friday, dawned with a strong

northerly and good waves, they
suffered a breakdown that took them
out of the next two races, essentially
ending their chances.
The conditions do not get much
better in Seattle than what the
fleet saw on Friday, and Brian/
Josh combined good tactics with
downwind speed to take the win in
the first race that day, vaulting them
to the series lead. The wind came up
even a bit more for the next race and
Carl/Jamie showed some speed in a
breeze to take the race and the lead
for the series. So far in the regatta,
there had been four different race
winners, with each one taking the lead
for the series following their win. At
this point the top six or seven boats
were all quite close, particularly if
you figured the discard, which would
kick in with the next race.
Saturday began with a moderate
southerly and Carl/Jamie worked
their way up to take their second
win and pick up a few points on the
fleet. The next race, featured some big
swings as the wind was a bit lighter
and a few transitions came through
the race course. In the end Carroll
McCallum/Jock Kohlhas found the
right shifts, to lead the fleet home.
Carl/Jamie managed to eke out a
5th, which was enough to secure the
series before the last race on Sunday,
where Andy MacDonald/Brad Nichol
of Newport Harbor took the gun to
move them to 3rd for the series.
Seattle Yacht Club and the local
Star fleet did a great job with the
shore side activities and the sailors
left looking forward to the next time
the Star class comes to Seattle for their
North Americans.

Pink Boat Regatta
Provisions stowed, dock
lines thrown, main hoisted, jib
trimmed, crew at the ready…
in PINK?
Yes. In pink. For the fourth year
in a row, Seattle sailors donned
every magenta, flamingo,
fuschia and hot pink item
any closet, goodwill or value
village could possibly part
with, to sail for breast cancer
research, with 100% of all
net proceeds headed to The
Breast Cancer Research
Foundation. BCRF, at this
point having received over
$144,000 from these events,
sent their own deputy
director, Peg Mastrianni,
to the Pacific Northwest
to witness this pink
sailing thing for herself.
This year ’s event
kicked off with
a celebration
dinner aboard
the
lovely
and
historic
s t e a m s h i p
Virginia V at Shilshole Bay Marina,
where Dr ’s Julie Gralow, MD and
Mary-Claire King, PhD, spoke about
the dramatic impact BCRF has made
in their own research efforts over
the last two decades. Some of you
may be familiar with the “BRCA
genes” – or at least heard about it
in the news – well the discovery of
those breast cancer genes happened
right here in Seattle at the University
of Wahsington, and thanks to the
funding that organizations like BCRF
provide – and in fact, thanks to the
funding from BCRF specifically.
So why do we go out every
year, get crazy and support this
cause? Because women are alive
today because this organization has
supported the kind of research that
creates scientific breakthroughs that
allow those lives to be saved. Just a
short time ago, this may not have been
the case. Is there an easier way to make
an impact for breast caner research
than to get out and go sailing? Is there
anything we love doing more than
being on the water? I mean, seriously.
It’s so easy. Our sailing community
knows it. And the Seattle Cancer Care
Alliance, this year ’s commodore level
sponsor, knows it too. The Breast
Cancer Research Foundation knows
it, because Peg just went back to New
York and reported to the organization
there’s a ferocious bunch of sailors
in the Pacific Northwest who will
stop at nothing. NOTHING!
For me, personally, I
can tell you is that for
the fourth year in a
row, I get to start and
end the day with a
very special woman,
whose very life has
twice been in the
hands of research,
treatment, and
prevention, and
who I would not
have met had we
not come just this
far. Unfortunately,
there are way too
many folks who
don't get to say
that.
Cancer is not
a challenge, it’s not a sporting event
that if you just try a little harder you
can beat it. The patients, the doctors,
the researchers, the treatments, all own
the outcome, and none can make any
guarantees outside of “we’re working
on it. We’re learning. A little bit more,
each day, another step forward.” And
it’s expensive. All of it. It’s the most
exorbitant and ridiculous yard bill
you hope you never have to pay. But
the easy part is taking the boat out of
the slip once a year, throwing a little
pink on it, having a little too much
fun, and in turn becoming part of
something truly amazing - the kind of
thing that can change lives, because
you went sailing.
So I thank you, all of you, for being
the reason I love this community:
your energy, your exuberance,
your dedication to being absolutely
completely awesome. The numbers
are looking good for 2015 – have you
started planning your PINK for 2016?

Maple Bay Regatta
T
he 60th annual Maple Bay Regatta
was held this Labour Day weekend
in the beautiful seaside hamlet of
Maple Bay, Vancouver Island. The
yacht club in Maple Bay is BC’s second
oldest next to the Royal Victoria Yacht
Club, celebrating its 90th anniversary
this year. This charming community,
nestled between Salt Spring Island
and Vancouver Island, is blessed with
the stunning backdrop of Maxwell
Mountain, Maple Mountain, Stoney
Hill and Mount Tzouhalem.
The Maple Bay Regatta has always
been a popular event for sailboat racers
due to the outstanding backdrop and
uncertain wind conditions. During
the regatta, keelboat racing took place
in the eastern part of Maple Bay, with
a possible course extending to North
Reef just south of Thetis Island or
from Paddy’s Milestone
to Burgoyne Bay on Salt
Spring Island and the
Octopus Point mark near
Sansum Narrows South.
The dinghy racing took
place in the Southern part
of Maple Bay and Bird’s
Eye Cove.
Sailors from up and
down the island and the
mainland raced 43 keelboats
in five divisions and 32
dinghies in four fleets.
This year proved a
challenge for Kirk Palmer,
the Principal Race Officer.
Maple Bay is known for
its challenging racing

conditions due to inconsistent and
light winds. This weekend was a case
in poin, with converging winds from
Bird’s Eye Cove, Sansum Narrows and
Burgoyne Bay and the surrounding
mountains made for shifty wind
patterns.
The tides and currents were not
big factors this weekend and the racers
played the shifts and oscillations
instead.
Saturday races started a little later
while the PRO waited for the wind to
pick up. It blew from the southeast
and built from 5 to 15 knots with
gusts of 20.
The rain expected for Sunday
came early on Saturday night and
carried over to early Sunday morning.
The low cloud resulted in very light
winds on Sunday, not exceeding
October 2015

5 knots. Racing started late on Sunday
at 12:30 with only two of the keelboat
divisions finishing their races. The
dinghies got off two races on Sunday
but a hole at the windward mark made
for some frustrating roundings.
This year ’s dinghy racing saw a
significant resurgence as a result of
the efforts of one young Maple Bay
sailor, Abby Brown, who encouraged
dinghy racers from Comox, RVYC,
Salt Spring Island, and Maple Bay
to participate. The ten 420s, seven
Fireballs, six Optimists, and nine
Radial Lasers got off five races over
the two days. The more than 50 dinghy
racers were a great mix of juniors
and adults.
The Lieutenant Governor Trophy
went to April and Paul Faget on their
Left Coast Dart, Ogopogo from the
Port Madison Yacht Club for winning
combined Divisions A and B. And
Ducati, raced by Antony Zegers of the
Canadian Forces Sailing Association,
won the Adams Cup for winning
combined divisions C and D.
Other keelboat winners included
Rags skippered by Judy Button in the
Ultra Class, Nigel Martin on Bullet
Proof in Division B and Two Bits
owned by Penny and Bruce Cameron
in Division D.
Winners in the dinghy fleet
included Andrea Cairns in a Fireball,
Opti sailor Ruben Rozen, Devin
Roberts in the 420s and Ally Irwin
in her Laser.
The Maple Bay Yacht Club put
on another great event that included
Friday night soup, pancake breakfasts,
Saturday night BBQ serving
up steak and salmon, great
live music and dancing on
Saturday night! Sunday
night fun was at the Lion
Rampant (aka The Brig)
with Chuck McCandless and
family playing for a packed
house!

Northern Century
T
h e A n a c o r t e s Ya c h t C l u b
Northern Century race is all
about adventure and perseverance.
Not about sleep, but a lot about
snacks, plus a big dose of nature. It
usually isn’t about sailing 100 miles.
Let’s face it, 100 miles in 40 hours
in August in the San Juan Islands in
a 27' sailboat is nearly impossible. I
have tried six times, and only made
it twice! Now, if we had the race on
the traditional weekend this year,
it would have hit the big August
storm and we may have quit for
other reasons! I have enjoyed the
years I didn’t make it just as much
as the years I finished. This year,
one boat made it the whole way and
lots of boats made the short course
finish. We were determined to stick
it out until the time limit. We were
Team#2legit2quit.
Double handed boats went first
at 7:30 pm, in a fading northwesterly.
The Marstrom 32, Miller Racing, took
off and flew a hull in all of maybe
5 knots, and Randy Miller and
Colin Dunphy left us in their wake.
Mick Corcoran’s Blackfoot led the
ill-conceived charge of “alternate
ro u t e ” r a c e r s u p t h e G u e m e s
Channel. My son Dylan joined me
for his first N100 and drove the
Rumpus for the sunset hour while I
snapped photos and sang along to
the stereo. The Fully Crewed boats
got off the line at 7:40 and with the
fading breeze they spent more time
than usual catching up to us.
48
Among the outcomes of the
N100 is a good chance of learning
something new about the San Juan
Islands. Usually I get an opportunity
to discover where to find the rocks,
kelp, reefs, and shallow areas of the
islands - places I would avoid in the
daytime tend to magnetically draw
me in during the night watch. This
year was no exception. Add the north
shore of Sinclair Island to the list of
places you don’t want to visit in the
dark. Oddly enough, nobody else was
moving, so I was able to convince
myself for at least an hour that things
were just fine. As dark gave way to
light, it was hard to miss the fact that
I was just barely aground.
If running into trouble on the
first night is traditionally the low
point of my race, the sail to and
from Point Roberts in open water
is often the high point. Once off the
beach in the morning, we were in
a position that Stuart Walker calls
“the land of opportunity.” All of our
close competitors were in front of us!
Right in our sights! We enjoyed a nice
kite duel with Bingo while heating
up our breakfast Hot Pockets, and
slowly but surely weaseled our way
back through the little boat fleet.
It took us nearly the whole leg to
catch Wayne Foulds’ LightCure.
Miller Racing was long gone, and
Time Bandit, Kahuna, HiJinx and
Hinzite were battling it out just close
enough on the horizon that you were
tempted to try to figure out what was
October 2015
www.48North.com
happening up there. We spent hours
on port tack… first with the kite, then
the drifter, and eventually the #1.
Dylan and I had plenty of bonding
time, and a chance for some creative
self-steering experiments. Finally,
we were on the layline and tacked!
Hooray! Just a few boat lengths until
we get a new view! Oops, missed it,
had to tack two more times and then
launched the A-kite for a great ride
all the way to Patos Island for the
short course finish.
Now, a sane person would
probably call it quits after making
it to the short course finish. But we
aren’t sane, we were #2legit2quit,
so on we went. Soon enough, the
sun was setting on our second
night. Near Waldron Island, where
it turns out we were destined to
spend the rest of our race, we were
serenaded by some of the strangest
bird noises. Flocks of chatty birds
in all different directions seemed to
be carrying on conversation. Even
as the birds flew off and the sun
went down, the sea lions came out
to party like a bad fraternity house
on the rocks of Waldron. Plan R was
in the neighborhood, barbecuing
their dinner, and offered us drinks
on their way back to Anacortes after
the sunset. Some brave sea lions
swam over to the boat in the dark,
and you could see them swim toward
you in the phosphorescent water,
then hear them pop up right next
to you! Being a scaredy cat, I drove
the boat standing up for the rest of
the night. I was waiting for the ebb
to push me out to the Straits where
hopefully the wind might fill in…
By the early morning hours,
the fleet was narrowed down to a
few hardy souls. Jeff Hulme’s Off
Constantly was making good progress
on the outside, Lil Toonses had just
called it off, and Clint Tseng’s
Amorillo was moving nicely along
the beach on the inside. Bingo wisely
anchored and watched movies, on
Rumpus I drank instant coffee, ate
goldfish crackers, and drifted in
big looping circles through the
night. Up ahead, out in the Straits,
Vertigo, Bob, Keet, Sunshine Girl and
Blackwatch all made it around Hein
photo by
Libbie Allenbrand
Bank and were headed for the final
run to the finish.
When the sun came up, so did
thousands of little fish popping up
like raindrops on the water as far
as you could see. Also as the sun
came out, so did my outboard. I
called in my retirement, and tried
the outboard. Then woke up my
co-captain, re-tried the outboard,
and we paddled. Miller Racing had
just finished the race, and others
were out in the straits, meanwhile
we were drifting toward Canada.
And then on the horizon was Betsy
Wareham, our good friend on her
way to rescue us. Surely if we were
left to our own defenses we would
have spent the next night in the
Canadian wilderness. It was all
awesome, and Dylan will have a
lot to report about “How I spent
my Summer Vacation.” Plus, we
had a great recovery and pulled out
a first in our division on the short
course finish.
Thank you to the boats who came
out to race, especially the ones who
travelled a long way to get there.
Thank you to the volunteers who
made the event happen, especially
to Sean Kelley and Jan Chapman
who spent two nights on their boat
manning the finish line and race
phone. Congratulations to Miller
Racing, thank you for keeping the
100 mile dream alive!

PITCH
F
irst of all, it’s hard to have a
bad weekend when you start by
tapping a keg at the skipper’s meeting.
While enjoying said beer I saw a shirt
from previous years that read, “It
doesn’t suck if it doesn’t
blow.” Allow me to present
PITCH 2015 as evidence in
distinct opposition to this
statement with one word:
Wind. In fact, the more
appropriate statement
for this year ’s Labor Day
weekend event could be
rearranged to read, “It
doesn’t suck if it does
blow”
Not too much, not
too little, just right – a
Goldilocks breeze which
cahracterized the day
Saturday, sending sailors to the
famous (or infamous?) PITCH party
as satisfied regatta customers. As
the first round the cans event for
many sailors since Whidbey Island
Race Week, in itself still
carrying fond memories
of breeze during a Pacific
Northwest summer, it was
all smiles enjoying race
after race before getting
wet boats into the barn and
into dry clothes. Great food,
bartenders on point, and the
usual storytelling from the
day before getting ready to
do it again... well, almost.
Sunday
started
somewhat dismally, with a
dock postponement, some
rain (gasp!), not a lick of
breeze, and a lineup at the
coffee shop about three miles
long. Trust me. I waited.
Twice.
Lo and behold however,
the flag came down as the
bay filled in for two, and
for some classes three, entire
races Sunday afternoon while still
allowing for a decent amount of time
to get packed up and headed home
– win win.
With lower attendance than usual
this year, with a sentiment
floating around about the
late Labor Day and generally
weird calendar year throwing
a few folks off, it’s safe to say
anyone at this year ’s event,
or who spent 30 seconds with
anyone who was, won’t be
missing it next year. So come
for the race and stay for the
party! And if we’re lucky,
we’ll get another weekend
that quite frankly, couldn’t
have gone better.

swiftsure yachts The logbook for October 2015
Outbound Yachts have a
Mazu
well-earned reputation
2008 Outbound 46 as the gold standard for
$534,500
offshore capable, mono
hull yachts. Their smart
design, with a well behaved and easily driven hull,
combine solid construction, performance and an elegant hand crafted interior. They have it all – easy
access to systems, excellent storage capacity above
and below decks and large tankage numbers at 200
gallons of water and 180 gallons of fuel.
The Outbound 46 Mazu is aptly named for the Chinese “Goddess of the Sea.” Marine folklore is filled
with tales of catastrophes averted when the goddess appeared to warn of unseen storms or arrived
just in time and calmed a storm to save sailors’ lives.
Outbound 46’s do not come on the used market
often and Mazu is the best yet. You won’t find a better equipped Outbound 46. Swiftsure Yachts sold
her to her one owner and no expense was spared
equipping her. Having just returned from a South
Pacific cruise, her meticulous owner has made sure
