Are Fuel Prices
Killing You?
The ocean in many ways represents freedom to most of us and I’m certain
many of us would spend every day of our lives on a boat sailing into the sunset, if possible. We could, of
course, if it wasn’t for the exceptionally prohibitive costs and the damage we inflict to the ocean every
time we do so. Let’s face facts: Fuel is expensive, dirty, harmful, and quite smelly. Every time you plan a
family outing or a trip with friends on your boat it takes hours of planning. Will it start? Can you hear the
dock master or your own crew at the docks? How long will it take to fill up? Will there be enough fuel
for the weekend without refueling? When was the last time I had a tune up? Do I need to get my engine
serviced? It can be a real hassle planning these trips. Luckily there is a simple solution to it all. It’s time to
look at what is fast becoming the industry standard in replacement auxiliary drive units.
Our electric drive motors are brushless, fully submersible, and come with a fifteen year warranty
against mechanical failure. We do not install an hour meter because it will never wear out. We offer
complete re-fitment with a wide range of electric retrofit kits ranging from 10hp all the way up to
1200hp. With this system you can cruise for up to 8 hours without a worry about harming the ocean
or spending every penny of your savings. Our motors use regenerative technology to recharge the
batteries when you are under sail and cost less than 10 dollars a month to keep the batteries topped off
with shore power. Unlike an internal combustion engine our system pays for itself in as little as two years.
So contact Green Sails at 941-258-5071, where we will have a courteous representative waiting to help
you find the right combination for your boat.
Make the change today and stop killing yourself at the fuel dock!

Electric motors provide:
• Zero maintenance
• Zero fuel bills
• Precise throttle control
• Convenience
• Performance
• Silent running
• Weight savings
• Increased storage
Starting at $3,995 for our basic package for boats up to 25 feet

There is no doubt that, in a modern society, technology has
taken over. It’s permeated into every aspect of daily lives – the
Jetsons didn’t have the electronic omnipresence that we do. So, it
only follows that those of us who enjoy sailing as a means to get
away from all this input, have reluctantly embraced all the new
electronic noses being stuck into our business of sailing the boat.
However, after using some of these wonders, it’s funny how
they evolve from curiosities and toys, into necessities. Of course
we could do without them, but why? If they help increase your
enjoyment on the water, why not?
I was pondering this as I was following the Volvo Ocean
Race (Around the World). These guys have the latest of the latest
and are the best at using them. You would be hard pressed to
find anyone on the planet with access to more advanced weather
informational systems than they have on board. Yet, when you
follow their tracks across the ocean, some go up, some go down,
some don’t go anywhere. What is the difference in all these
boats? Why aren’t they all in the same place at the same time?
It all comes back to the human element in this equation. The
final computer analyzing all this data is the navigator. He looks
at what has happened, is happening and projections of what is
going to happen, then makes his best deduction (I don’t want
to say educated guess) as to where they should go, why and for
how long. It is a very dynamic and ever changing situation. The
computers take care of the data, but it is the people on board who
take care of the “ifs.” “If this happens then... but if...”
The same thing applies to our local waters. We can get more
info on current and weather than ever before, but it still always
comes down to the, “ifs.” And, no one can argue that we don’t
have a lot of “ifs” in the Northwest when it comes to weather.
So sailors take heart. Even if our first mates may have a
little red light glowing on them, we are still masters of our own
ship, captains of our own destinies out on the water. We’re in
charge of the “ifs.”

Little “Sockdolaager” in Tahiti
We’re in Tahiti! Papeete is the Big City compared to
where we’ve been, and we are lovin’ it. There’s lots to
catch up on, and we’ve updated the blog. Our internet
connection has been rather uncooperative, as we’ve been
trying to post this since July 4th.
We hope those of you in the northern hemisphere are
having a good summer season – winter in the southern
hemisphere tropics isn’t hard to take, either.
Plans are to explore Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea and Bora
Bora until July 25, at which time our visa runs out and so
must we. We’ll continue heading west, to the Cook Islands.
Sockdolager is still the smallest boat in the anchorage most
of the time, and she gets plenty of “Wow!” looks. July 9
will be our one year anniversary of departure from Port
Townsend. Kind of hard to believe we’re now where we
spent all that time dreaming about.
Fair winds,
Karen & Jim

We recently had a type of run in with a sea turtle last
week near Puerto Vallarta that seems like it is getting to be
a common occurrence among sailors. We found the turtle
in some derelict fishing gear and could not by any means
leave the poor creature to suffer. I freed the turtle from the
make shift buoy and the turtle dove out of sight. I have
heard of a few other more glamorous marine mammal
freeings, such as the whale, this past winter that was freed
from a net by a sailor.
What concerns me is the push back from conservation
groups that may say these actions are extreme and need not
take place, the rescues should be left to the authorities. I
would like to see some press on this issue from both sides:
the “authorities” who worry about injuries to the rescued
and rescuers and the sailors who can’t pass up the suffering
mammals.
Happy Sails,

Personally, I would have done exactly what you did and
I think most sailors would. We all understand the potential
dangers involved when you have a close encounter with a wild
animal. As idyllic as it would be to call animal 911 and have
them immediately come out and rescue the animal, that’s usually
not the case. By the time the “proper” people get mobilized it may
be too late, especially for a smaller animal. It’s like those out at
sea that think if they get in trouble, just set off the EPIRB and
someone will be right there. Time and distance on the ocean are
huge variables.
It’s different if you’ve got a beached baby seal on the beach
in the San Juan Islands, where rescuers are on immediate call,
than it is a turtle caught in a net in the open ocean. As cruisers,
you weigh many options on the ocean for your own safety, and

I’m sure you took all precautions to protect yourselves as well as
rescue the turtle. Now, if it was a whale, of course that’s a whole
different ball game. Size, power, teeth and potential harm to the
animal and rescuer all have to be considered.
So, I applaud your actions. I’m very happy that this was
accomplished without damage to you or the turtle. We are all
grateful for the over and above efforts taken by those officially
involved with animal rescue. But no one can be everywhere all
the time. You solved a real problem in a practical way. After all,
the first animal rescues weren’t official, just people who cared.
We’ll be putting their story in next month’s mag.
We’re pleased to add Verena and Mike to our Cruisers Blog
on the www.48north.com website Follow their adventures in
Mexico as well as viewing their videos of their trip. We’re also
putting up their turtle rescue video on the Videos page on our
site. Thanks to Verena and Mike for sharing.
Smith Island Actually Discovered in 1791
Smith Island was not discovered in 1971 nor 1917. In
fact, it was discovered in 1791. While it’s all too easy to fire
the copy editor and the proofreader, you have to realize
that spell-check is not “context-check”.
Regards;
Jon Schewe
Your ham-handed editor is not giving poor Smith Island,
discovered by José María Narváez in 1791, the respect it deserves.
Maybe I’m subconsciously getting revenge for Smith Island
having “grabbed” our keel on a race. At least we didn’t say it
was discovered in 1608 by John Smith, that would have been the
Smith Island in Chesapeake Bay.

Man Overboard Pole Mounting at Strictly Sail
Richard, I sure wish I had read that article when we
were putting our finishing touches on the boat before we
went to Mexico!
For several years we have been doing a coastal cruising
seminar at STRICTLY SAIL PACIFIC at Jack London
Square, and I would sure like to include this information
in what is given to attendees. Naturally we’d give all the
credits to 48° North and Jack & Alex Wilkin.
We provide the seminar for Sail America as “pay-back”
for all the help and ideas we got from other sailors before
we took off in ‘06. We are not associated with anybody
selling anything, or making money at the show, just simply
providing a great seminar and associated materials to help
other sailors take off and have as much fun as we had. This
article on mounting the MOBP is “right down the alley”
of the kind of thing we like to pass on to people at the
seminar.
We’ve been reading 48° North for almost 20 years and
enjoy it very much. A couple years back we even found a
charter up there and came up to enjoy a week of sailing in
September – it was great.
Please feel free to browse our blog to ‘check us out’.
Thanks,
Pat & Carole McIntosh
Yes, Jack and Alex do a great job on the practical how-to’s on
a boat. We appreciate them sharing their years of boat building,
maintenance and cruising experience.
We’ve added Pat and Carole to our Cruising Blogs page at
www.48north.com so check them out and see what they’re up to.
A Gazillion Thanks!
Thanks for contributing to the 36th Annual Center
for Wooden Boats tabloid, Shavings. The articles are all
treasures, as archives of our rich maritime yarns and
legends.
These Boat Festival editions are the ever-growing
encyclopedia of The Center for Wooden Boats. Your work
is an integral part of our organization’s fabric and it is
greatly appreciated.
Dick Wagner
People don’t realize what an absolute treasure we have in
the Center for Wooden Boats here in Seattle, not only from a
historical aspect, but also for the hands-on resource to go sailing
in a variety of different boats. These boats don’t just sit at the
dock, but are doing what they were meant to do – sail. CWB is a
living and breathing community gem for adults and kids.

Wind Powered Music Tour
The Stowaway Stringband (formerly The Stowaways)
is a Vancouver Island based band that formed almost two
years ago. After the debut CD was released, “Livin’ on the
Island,” June 1, 2011, we toured, BUT, unlike most bands,
instead of cramming into a smelly packed van we opted for
the fresh sea air and wind to power us between gigs.
The Wind Powered Tour 2011 took The Stowaway
Stringband to wonderful places like the Campbell Bay
Music Fest, the Hornby Island Music Fest, and they even
played on the tall ship
Schooner Zodiac.
It was such a success
it’s happening again. The
Wind Powered Tour 2012
will be a blast! Starting
on Pender Island, August
10th, the band will play at
Port Browning Friday and
Saturday, and then host
an all ages dance at the
community hall Sunday.
Then north to Gabriola
for a square-dance on
Thursday August 16. Then
down to Galliano to play
at the Hummingbird Pub
Friday and Saturday, August 17th and 18th. On Saturday
the 18th, they will also be hosting an all ages early dance
from 5:00 - 10:00 at the community hall.
After Galliano, The Stowaway Stringband heads to Salt
Spring to play at The Tree House Cafe on Wednesday the
22nd, Mobys on Friday the 24th, and then a big Old Time
Square Dance at the Fulford Hall on Saturday, August 25th.
The Vancouver Island portion on the Wind Powered
Tour starts at Highlands Fish and Chips in Sidney at 5:30
on Monday the 27th.
Then a free low tide square dance in Cadboro Bay on
Thursday.
The Wind Powered Tour will finish again this year at
the Classic Boat Festival in Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
The final square dance of the tour will be at the Kirk
Hall in Victoria on September 1st.
The Stowaway Stringband has a unique armada of
boats too! They have a Herreshoff Meadow Lark, an
Islander 30, a San Juan 24, and a Bill Healy 36, designed
and built in Florida.

FALL & WINTER STORAGE
Heated indoor storage has many advantages
over off-season in-the-water moorage:
• Our heated building eliminates costly winterization and
heating bills.
• Bottom paint and zincs last longer.
• No damage to decks, brightwork, paint, gelcoat and
equipment from snow, rain, wind or UV.
• Full service boatyard onsite for off-season repairs and
modifications at special storage customer discounts.
• Just $10/ft/month on an 12-month lease or $15/ft/month
on a 6-month lease with an option for up to six additional
months at $5/ft/month. Considering your savings by being
inside our building... it’s like getting free moorage!
As an alternative, you can get many of the benefits listed above by dry storing
your boat in Bellingham at our outdoor storage yard for just $5/ft/month.

Help Send Sail Sand Point’s Kids Into Outer Space
If you’re wondering what
community sailing has to do with
sending kids into outer space, place an
eight year old child into an Optimist
sailboat, stand back and watch!
To a child, an Opti is much more
than a sailboat and like nothing they
have ever seen or experienced. It is a
machine that they have complete power
and control over. It offers a safe way to
challenge themselves – to explore their
abilities, to go farther and faster than
they have before. It represents a freedom
that many of us felt as 16 year olds
when we got to drive a car for the first
time. No Mom. No Dad. Just the child
and their boat. An Opti is a spacecraft
that transports its passenger from their
normal life on land and into an exciting
and foreign environment that is waiting
to be explored.
Perhaps most importantly, being in
command of a small boat allows a child
to develop the judgment, responsibility
and confidence that will accompany him
or her throughout the rest of their
life. It is a fun way to teach adult
skills, bringing real value back
to our community far beyond
any simple measure.
This past year Sail Sand
Point was able to add nine new
Optimists to our program,
including two that were
very generously donated.
Every summer, each Opti
takes ten regular children and turns
them into seafarers. But even with our
nine additional boats, Sail Sand Point
was solidly booked by the end of March
for our One Week Opti camps.
Thanks to SSP’s scholarship
program for youth and adults, no one
is ever turned away for lack of money.
Unfortunately, we do find ourselves
turning children away simply because
we’ve run out of boats.
It takes a community to raise a
sailor, and Sail Sand Point needs your
help. We’ve set a goal to add seven new
boats to our fleet which will give
seventy (70!) more children
the opportunity to challenge
themselves, build their confidence,
experience freedom and explore a
new and exciting environment.
Your donation of a halyard
($80), centerboard ($250), mast
($300), sail ($350) or even an
entire Optimist ($3,100) is
needed to help Sail Sand
Point meet its goal
of introducing a new
generation of children to a world
of experiences they could never have
otherwise dreamed of. Please be the
one to help a young sailor discover their
adult within. You can make it happen.
To make a tax deductible donation,
contact the office at (206) 525-8782
or mail a check to Sail Sand Point,
Attn: Opti Fund, 7777 62nd Ave
NE, Suite 101, Seattle, WA 98115.

Flying fish have been found on ship
decks more than 30 feet above sea level.
They reach this height by launching
into the wind and being swept up by air
currents.
In the process of taking flight, or
gliding, the flying fish begins by gaining
great velocity underwater, about 37
miles per hour.
Sometimes flying fish glide long
distances, up to 655 feet.
Virtually blind, electric eels catch
prey using electric pulses.
No less than 250 species of fish
produce electric currents from organs in
their bodies.
The electric eel, often exceeding
six feet long, is widely eaten in South
America.
Electric eels have been used for
medicinal experiments, particularly in
the treatment of rheumatism.
Maritime Trivia
By Bryan Henry
The stingrays are a group of rays,
which are cartilaginous fishes related to
sharks.
The large openings on the heads
of skates and rays that are sometimes
mistaken for eyes are part of the fish’s
respiratory system and are called
spiracles.
There was once a belief among
some fishermen that the oil extracted
from the stingray’s liver was a preventive
for pneumonia.
The stinging barb at the tail end of a
stingray can be 15 inches long.
Stingray spines have been used to
make spear tips, daggers, needles and
awls.
In many Caribbean and other
tropical waters, stingrays gather by
the hundreds into seabed depressions
known as ray pits.
Stingrays have strong, blunt teeth
that can crack even the hard shells of
oysters.
Flounders and rays are the only
fishes to have both eyes on one side of
their bodies.
The manta ray has been known to
produce an embryo measuring four feet
wide and weighing 28 pounds.
The word manta is Spanish for cloak
or blanket, and when swimming they
resemble a spread-out blanket.
Manta rays have been known to leap
out of water, sometimes landing in or on
small boats and damaging or wrecking
them.
If an octopus damages or loses one
of its vital arms, it can grow a new one
through regeneration.
In experiments, octopuses have been
trained to distinguish between shapes
and to recognize objects by touch.

Beset by pirates, Knights of
Malta, and saboteurs, Matthew
Quinton sails to Africa in this
buoyant sequel to Gentleman
Captain.
When a captured Barbary
pirate saves his neck with the
story of a fabled mountain of
gold, Captain Matthew Quinton
has his doubts. But King Charles II can’t
resist the chance to outstrip the Dutch
with a limitless source of wealth.
With the devious corsair aboard,
Quinton embarks on a voyage
beyond the map’s edge, still
convinced that the mountain is
mere legend. But as attempts to
sabotage his mission draw closer
to the mark, he begins to wonder
… Back in England, the king has
arranged a wedding between Matthew’s
elder brother, the Earl of Ravensden,
and a mysterious lady rumored to have
murdered her previous two husbands.
Resolved not to fail his meddlesome
sovereign, and to return home in time to
protect his family and his home, Captain
Quinton approaches the coast of Africa
with a troubled mind.

Celestial Navigation in the GPS Age,
by John Karl, a revised and expanded
edition, now introduces simple tabular
sight reductions first, followed by
calculator methods for those wishing to
take full advantage of their flexibility.
It retains the same unprecedented clear
and accurate explanation of Celestial
Navigation mysteries, such as the role
of the assumed position, and how
positions and celestial LOPs can be
plotted with no assumptions.
The section on stars has been
expanded, and star and planet
identification and viewing have been
added. It explains nine special
sights, such as Polaris sights,
meridian sights, and even sights
without a sextant. Lunar distance
sights are explained from the
ground up, using only basic
concepts, with no special formulas
or tables. The book has a unique
chapter on sextants and their
properties, explaining the workings
and effects of different horizon mirrors
and telescopes, and their associated
advantages and disadvantages.
Related topics include: integrating
Celestial Navigation with GPS for
improving skill and safety;
constructing plotting sheets;
making superior running
fixes; designing special LOPs
for landfalls; and performing
compass deviation checks
at sea. Beginners will like
the clear and authoritative
explanations. Experienced

Child of the Sea is the true story
of a young girl growing up aboard the
family’s 36 foot yacht whilst sailing more
than 68,000 miles around the world and
visiting 54 countries on the way.
From the age of seven to 14,
Doina Cornell, daughter of bluewater
sailing guru Jimmy Cornell, enjoyed a
childhood that most children couldn’t
imagine - swimming, diving and playing
the days away in deserted anchorages
and visiting some of the most beautiful
islands in the world. The book
describes in vivid detail a
sailing family’s onboard life,
from balmy trade wind ocean
passages to heart-stopping
near-misses with coral reefs and
over-friendly whales.
This is also a tale of a girl’s
coming of age in the South

growing up close to other cultures and

J/Boats’ new 22’
speedster for fleet and
fun family racing
By Dan Kaseler
We received the boat, set it up,
and had three full practice sessions the
week before WIRW. During that time
we had a wide range of conditions
and put the boat through the paces.
We worked a lot on boat setup, speed,
and rig tune, while saving the last day
to practice maneuvers and join in a bit
of casual racing. For the most part we
saw medium winds, however, we did
get the boat planing nicely, and saw
13.9 knots as the max speed on the
Velocitek on the second night out.
With some fundamental rig tune
numbers in the bag, and a pretty
organized team, we stepped up to
compete at Whidbey Island Race
Week. This NW tradition gave us a
good mix of races in mostly the light
4-9 knot breeze range. Sailing under
a temporary 117 PHRF rating, we
finished 4th in our class, beating the
J/80s, SC27, and Express 27.
Construction: Unwrapping the
boat, the first thing that jumps out is
the build quality. Cosmetically the
boat is flawless. Upstairs, the boat
is comfortable with an extra roomy
cockpit. The side tanks have slightly
crisper lines, but this doesn’t seem to
be a bother while sitting, or moving
about.
Her general presence is pleasing,
yet friendly, with her narrow flared hull
and plumb bow. The foredeck features a
nice molded toe rail that ends abruptly

at the shrouds. Moving aft, the radius
on the rail is comfortable in all but a
full-hike scenario, which is extremely
unlikely anyway, given the design
objective and class brief. Below deck is
surprisingly inviting, due to largely gel
coated surfaces and the ambiance and
lighting from the translucent forward
hatch. The enlarged cockpit features a
single foot push down the center, while
the lifelines are strung on low, stubby
stantions.
Setup and Travel-ability: With a
lifting keel, the J/70 sits low and should
be trailerable with pretty much any V6.
Besides saving gas on the highway,
the lifting keel aspect opens up the
chance to launch virtually anywhere
a ramp can be found. This is a big key
for fleet development. For a practiced
crew, setup realistically should take 60
minutes from trailer to sailing. It takes
two people to step the mast, but once
that’s sorted, you’re well on your way.
Overall, assembly is a no-brainer.
Rig: The sail-plan is modern and
easy. The Southern Spars carbon mast
tube is pretty stiff, especially at the tip,
and supported by extra wide swept
spreaders and an upper and lower
shroud to control the bend. The jib
and main are well balanced, while
the retractable sprit supports enough
downwind sail area to keep things fun
and tactical. The hounds for the jib are
fairly high, while the water-tight below
deck furler keeps the tack right on the
stem. The higher boom allows easy
maneuvers, and increases the power
of the vang to bend the low mast. All
the halyards lead above deck, and the
lack of holes in the cabin top, as well as
the lack of an outboard engine hatch,
ensure a dry downstairs.
Trimming: Sailors have their choice
of Quantum or North sails. The main
is trimmed through the mainsheet,
traveller, vang, and cunningham. The
jib is trimmed with 2:1 jib sheets, and
the option of either trimming with
the winches or simply utilizing the
supplied ratchet blocks. Wider jib track
geometry had us experimenting a bit
with pulling the clew to weather with
the lazy sheet when we were looking
for the super high mode. One additional
control worth mentioning was a 4:1 jib
halyard purchase. Coming off the butt
of the mast, we found this to be a very
interesting method to control jib shape.
Appendages: The J/70 draws only
a modest amount with its lifting keel,
which features a kelp cutter, and
unique spade bulb shape. Hanging on
the transom via pintails and gudgeons,
the rudder has a no-frills, rectangular
outline. We welcomed its substantial
surface area and the associated extra
control during our time planing, where
it was easy to force the bow down and
really drive the boat through puffs. We
might like to see the class allow a single
pintail rod to simplify the interface
even further.
Performance: The J/70 feels
competitive and fun across the board.
We found a great high mode upwind,
and saw easy boat speeds in the teens
downwind, with only a few whitecaps
about. She seems to like pressure, and
really excel in the the 9-14 knot wind
range. Downwind, the asymetrical kite
can get you into super deep angles. As
the breeze builds, putting the bow up
5-10 degrees will pop her up on to the
step and get her ripping alongside the
best of the modern sporties. The rig
isn’t super powered-up and that adds
to a lot of confidence and comfort.
I was sure we would need four
bodies on the rail to get the boat
trucking upwind, but after sailing the
boat for awhile, I realized that a large
three person team could be a good
solution.
Target: J/Boats knows the market
and their target audience better then
any other brand. The J/70 should be
appealing to a very wide audience,
from the seasoned J/24 sailor looking
for something a bit more modern, to
the intermediate sailor looking to get
into racing. As the class grows, no
doubt, many top sailors, and x-dinghy
stars will push the racing side to a high
level as well. It’s safe to say, this boat
has something to offer everybody. The
boat is unquestionably a J-style answer
to the modern sport-boat craze.
Critiques: It’s pretty hard to find
anything negative to say about this
great new boat. It could be argued that
the winches aren’t necessary, especially
if the class allows high-side cam cleats
to banjo the jib, but their inclusion adds
to the boats wide appeal. Further, we
thought it would be nice if the trailer
had a spot for the keel lifting crane
when not in use, and a dedicated mast
cradle for the transom would as well
be welcomed to streamline the setup/
teardown/traveling process.
Strengths: The J/70 piggybacks the
strengths of many modern sport boats,
like low-slung trailer-ability, and fun
downwind sailing, with a really inviting
accessibility. She’s stiff in a tip-over
sense, compared to the other sport boats
out there, and can easily be day sailed
,double-handed, or raced with 3-4... or
perhaps even 5 if one or two are kids.
The boat is alive and responsive, giving
great feedback to the driver and crew.
Summary: There is no question in
my mind that this boat is THE future
for J/Boats. This baby has the potential
to draw a lot of newbies into the sportboat sector, while additionally getting
a lot of veterans psyched on sailing.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
Planning: A crazy process but worth the ride.
Ten years ago we set out on
our first big family cruise - two
glorious weeks sailing around
the San Juan and Gulf Islands.
Had an old salt observed our
preparations, they could easily
have infered that we were
about to embark on a non-stop
circumnavigation. With the
exception of forgetting diapers
for four month old Mairen, we
overdid most everything else.
Sailing is an endless learning
process, and everyone has to
start somewhere!
Onboard Totem, the need
for diapers has given way to
need for school books. Cruise
planning still gets plenty of
attention, albeit with more
experience. As we prepare
to sail on from Australia to
Southeast Asia, the process is
familiar enough; enchanted
by the freedom, conscience of
leaving behind comfort that
comes through familiarity, and
a lot of list making.
Administrative
This is a good place to start because
any trip planned to cross a border will
end there without proper paperwork.
The Internet is the best tool going. Most
countries detail information online
about current requirements for entry,
length of stay, reporting requirements
during stay, and departure clearance.
Resources like www.noonsite.com and
World Cruising Handbook, by Jimmy
Cornell provide helpful information,
but requirements such as “advance
notice of arrival” do change.
Noncompliance can mean getting
turned away or paying stiff fines,
so it’s best to refer to the country’s
current requirements. In preparing to
leave soon for Papua New Guinea, we
learned that passports cannot expire
within six months of entering the
country. Our childrens’ passports will
just barely miss that, so we recently
rented a car and drove 12 hours each
Trying to find our dinghy in Nuka Hiva.
way to the US Consulate in Sydney for
new passports.
While researching each country’s
requirement, it’s a good idea to spend
some time learning what items you
may not enter with. In our Pacific
crossing, there were a number of
cruisers that showed up at one island
group or another with a freezer filled
with meat or some other treats only to
watch as customs removed it from the
vessel. There is some subjectivity on
the part of government officials, but it’s
not worth the risk unless the loss is of
insignificant value.
Health and Safety
In preparing for Mexico, we
consulted with our family doctor,
travel nurse, and the Center for Disease
Control and World Health Organization
websites. With all the recommended
vaccinations,
health
precautions,
comprehensive medical kits, and luck
we all remained healthy. Some
cruising friends had less luck
with scorpion stings, stingray
stings, and Dengue fever, all
short term discomfort. With
our arrival in Australia came
warnings about deadly hazards
from countless critters that aim
to bite, sting, or chomp us. Yet,
everyone around us seemed
indifferent to lurking danger,
so we relaxed into believing as
locals, that rogue tiger snakes
and crocodiles are not lying in
wait behind every Coolabah
tree.
Health and safety issues
keep us awake at night more than
anything else. It’s easy to look
at traveling to foreign places
and become alarmed by exotic
sounding diseases or lethal
jellyfish. As travelers away for a
long time, we can also look back
to home and remember friends
that suffered through cancer
and car accidents. We seem to
accept the hazards where we
live and fear those where other people
live. Now, preparing for Southeast
Asia we are again talking to medical
professionals, learning what we have
to be cautious of, adding mosquito nets
impregnated with insecticide, hoping
for ongoing luck, etc.
Provisioning
Of all our major provisioning
experiences, version one was for
cruising Mexico. We initially made the
common mistake of buying too much
food, as if Mexicans didn’t eat! After a
while in Mexico we had a good sense
of what food was typically available in
cities versus villages, and at what cost.
So when we spent a season in the Sea
of Cortez, we did well planning for
limited fresh food.
Provisioning version two was
crossing the Pacific. We managed
very well on quantity, which is no
small feat when buying food enough
for six months (as much because
foodstuffs were unavailable as they
were expensive). When we reached
Australia, we had 50 pounds of beans
and a few other random Mexican foods
in too much supply. While we enjoy
cooking Mexican food, fresh baked
baguettes, brie and fruit of French
Polynesia, along with fresh caught fish
and other local goodness along the way,
were welcome variety. Fortunately, the
Australian quarantine officer was only
too happy to remove the beans from
Totem.
Provisioning version three gets
underway as you read this. What and
where we provision comes down to
availability, cost, and access. Essentials,
like favorite foods, food for trading,
and medicine we’ll get in Australia.
We’ll leave behind Mexican beans and
Australian vegemite to keep space
open to procure local foods in Papua
New Guinea, Indonesia, and beyond.
Spares
Like provisioning essential foods,
such as chocolate, the hope with spares
is that you have what you need when
you need it. Items such as oil, oil filters,
impellers, fuses, bulbs, etc. are easy
to predict or inexpensive and easy to
keep in supply. The other 99% of things
onboard that can fail aren’t as easily
managed. There are good reference
books available such as John Neal and
Amanda Swan-Neal’s Offshore Cruising
Companion, and Beth Leonard’s The
Voyager’s Handbook, that include good
lists of spare parts to carry. Keep in
mind that some spares don’t do well
being stored for a long time. Beyond
that, it’s about knowing how to
maintain the gear onboard, how to
get by when something is broken, and
learning how to mime that you would
like the nice man that doesn’t speak the
same language to rebuild the alternator
by next Tuesday.
Routing
It’s a nice idea to stick a pin in all
the places you want to sail, but it only
serves as a wish list. Weather rules.
Whether it’s weather in the nasty
cyclonic evil-beat sense, or calms
enough to see a butterfly fart, sense
dictates much about when and where
you go. Staying away from that type
of weather is what got us into the Sea
of Cortez, kept us moving across the
Pacific, and will push us north from
Coral Sea come November. Pilot charts
and cruising guides offer a wealth of
information in structuring the general
routing plan.
Playing Tourist
One of the most enjoyable things
we do to appreciate a new place is to get
informed in advance. Guide books, in
addition to general travel information,
often include a list of recommended
and relevant literature. The reading
material is often entertaining and
always helpful to better understanding
the place. Going in with a cultural
awareness goes a long way to enriching
a travel experience.
Planning a cruise is a time of
tremendous
excitement,
frantic
workload, and stress. Fortunately,
diapers and planning stress go away
with time. It’s hard to avoid going a
little crazy in the process, but it is so
worth the ride.
The Giffords are setting out again from
Australia for the outer islands of Papua
New Guinea and over the top to Indonesia.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea
sketches and story by Larry Eifert
Next time you’re down on the docks at low tide
take a peek down a piling into the water below. See
any big, white flowers attached to it that are waving in
the current? Those are plumose anemones, and flowers
they are definitely not! They’re actually animals,
predators on the prowl for small larvae and other tasty
organisms that pass by.
While they look permanently attached to the
piling or rock, if attacked by a sea star or nudibranch,
anemones can instantly leap for safety in an ungainly
jump. In fact, large solitary anemones can be found far
away from the vast gardens of larger family groups,
showing they really can do a ‘walk about.’ Anemones
begin life when a fragment from the base of a
large anemone breaks off and grows into a tiny but
genetically-identical new one. These clones start life
as one sex but changes to the other when it is older.
Quite a critter, don’t you think?

Avoiding These Common Mistakes Can Prevent
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
One of the great things about boating is the sense of freedom, the
escape from the daily grind. It’s easy to “unplug” from stress on the water.
Unfortunately, it’s also easy to “unplug” from important safety precautions.
Consider the following situations:
• A young man in the water holding
on to the swim platform while chatting
with friends onboard.
Educate Yourself
to Educate Others
• A large number of boats anchored
close together on a hot summer night,
with several running their airconditioners.
• Carbon monoxide is a quick and
silent killer. It is also colorless and
odorless.
• Fresh air circulation and staying
away from exhaust outlets is the
best way to avoid carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• Experts
recommend
installing
marine-rated carbon monoxide
detectors, to alert boaters when the
CO concentration on board is too
high.
• Remember that life jackets save lives.
Many who are overcome by carbon
monoxide slip silently beneath the
water. Fellow boaters often report
that a person was “there one second
and gone the next.” Life jackets give
you a better chance of being saved.
• A houseboat anchored in a small,
sheltered cove on a lake.
• A boat traveling slowly through the
water with a noticeably high bow angle.
• A young woman “teak surfing” off
the swim platform of her family’s boat.
What do these situations have in
common? They are all potentially fatal
due to the high risk of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is a deadly
gas produced by the burning of any
carbon-based fuel. It is invisible and
has no taste or smell. Carbon monoxide
from exhaust pipes of inboard engines,
outboard engines, and generators can
build up inside and outside of boats in
areas near exhaust vents, such as the
swim platform. People should never
congregate or swim in these areas when
the motor or generator is operating.
Exhaust from other boats is another
serious danger. A boat that is docked,
beached, or anchored alongside another
boat is vulnerable to carbon monoxide
intrusion in the cabin and cockpit from
its neighbors.
Blockage of exhaust outlets can
cause carbon monoxide to accumulate
in the cabin and cockpit area of a
boat, even when hatches, windows,
portholes, and doors are closed.
Boaters should avoid anchoring in
areas where outlets could be blocked.
Backdrafting, otherwise known as “the
station wagon effect,” occurs when a
boat is operating at a high bow angle,
traveling under four knots, or has
been improperly loaded. This may
cause carbon monoxide to accumulate
inside the cabin, cockpit, and bridge,
even when protective coverings are
used and the boat is underway. People
“teak surfing” or dragging off the
swim platform, or water-skiing 20 feet
or less behind a moving watercraft, are
inhaling carbon monoxide exhaust.
Knowing how to spot and – more
important – avoid dangerous situations
can save lives. Boaters should do their
part to educate others about common
causes of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Too many have lost their lives to this
silent killer, so spread the word.
The U.S. Coast Guard
reminds all boaters to
“Boat Responsibly!” For

Check Your Boat
• Make sure all exhaust hose ends
are double clamped and securely in
place.
• Look for exhaust leaking from
exhaust
system
components,
indicated by rust and/or black
streaking, water leaks, or corroded
or cracked fittings.
• Inspect rubber exhaust hoses for
burned or cracked sections.
• Confirm that water flows from the
exhaust outlet when the engines and
generator are started.
• Listen for any change in exhaust
sound that could indicate an exhaust
component failure.

Two boats rafted with bow anchor and
stern tie in Desolation Sound.
Rafting
Rafting can be a lot of fun and safe
when done properly. It takes some
common sense and occasionally
a bit of extra boat handling skill.
But the rewards are worthwhile.
By Mike Huston
Rafting is basically mooring one
or more boats to each other. I can think
of three scenarios where rafting is
common, although I suspect there are
more. The first, and probably the most
widespread, happens in harbors when
they run out of slips or dock
space and ask boats to tie up two
or three deep. In many harbors
this type of rafting is required.
The second reason to raft is
to socialize while at anchor. We
do this frequently with friends
or during our classes when we
have two or more boats traveling
together. What could be better
than spending a summer evening
with friends?
The third usage of rafting
has to do with helping a disabled
boat get to a dock. In open
waters towing is the best way to
aid a powerless boat. But towing
works poorly in tight spaces like
a marina. This is where rafting comes
into play – it provides the control
needed to guide a disabled boat safely
up to a dock.
Setting up a boat to raft is very
similar to the setup for a docking.
Put out four dock lines in the usual
positions, a bow line, a stern line and
two spring lines. As with docking,
three or four fenders will be needed.
Placement of the fenders is where
things deviate from a normal docking
setup. You will need to determine
where the two boats will meet. It is
important to visualize both the fore
and aft direction as well as up and
down. On sailboats this usually means
the fenders will need to be up at the toe
rail, which is usually the widest point.
Power boats are more varied in
design so you will need to visually
decide where the points of contact will
be and place fenders to protect them.
When the fenders, lines and crews
are ready approach the other boat like
you would a dock. Some timing may be
required if the other boat is swinging
on an anchor. When this happens I
personally find it best to have the other
boat moving toward me. If they are
swinging away I end up chasing them
and often miss. With them swinging
toward me I can leave some extra room
as I pull up and let them come to me.
Before the lines are tied there are
a couple things to consider. First, if
the two boats are both sailboats, be
sure the masts are not lined up. This
prevents a large wake from rocking the
masts into each other – no one needs
a broken spreader. Second, think about
how you are going to get from one
boat to another and position the gate(s)
accordingly.
Once the boats are in position,
tie the lines similarly to being at a
dock (a bow line, a stern line and
two spring lines). If needed, it is
okay on a sailboat to tie to chain
plates as they are as strong as a
cleat. It is not a good idea to use
lifeline stanchions.
Each of the three scenarios for
rafting has its own nuances, the
ones I can think of are:
Flotilla rafted four abreast in
Desolation Sound.
Rafting at a Dock
• If there are multiple boats to
choose from, look for one of about
the same size and freeboard. This
makes tying easier and reduces
the chance of damage should a big
wake come your way.
• If you need to raft to a smaller
boat and there is an option, put
the larger boat on the dock and the
smaller one outside. If the smaller
boat cannot be moved it may
be helpful to take the bow and/
or stern line from the larger boat
past the smaller boat and tie them
directly to the dock.
• If you are rafted to someone you do
not know and need to cross their
boat, it is generally considered
polite to cross in front of their mast
instead of through the cockpit.
• When practical, ask permission
to raft (even if required) and talk
over issues of mutual interest.
For example, find out which boat
needs to leave first in the morning
and put them on the outside.
Rafting When Anchored
• If the conditions are calm and
the anchorage is protected, it is
acceptable to raft more than one
boat on a single anchor. Generally,
it is a good idea to have the boat
with the largest anchor put theirs
down.
• If more than one anchor is used, be
sure to put out a stern anchor or
stern tie to shore. This will prevent
the anchor lines from tangling
when wind or current rotates the
raft.
• If the wind does come up
unexpectedly during the night and
Stern Anchor or Line

Figure 1
it is practical to do so, each boat
should break off and set her own
anchor, or possibly run an extra
anchor out using a dinghy. If the
wind is strong enough to require
extra holding power it is unlikely
to shift. Therefore, tangling of the
rodes is less of a concern.
• Figure 1 shows some creative
ways to raft in a small space where
swing room is tight. We have used
all of these at one time or another.
The stern-to-stern tie works very
well when both boats have swim
steps. Passage from boat to boat
is easy and safe. During the night
the boats can be separated by
lengthening the lines holding them
together and, if needed, shortening
one of the anchor lines.
Rafting While Aiding
a Disabled Boat
• First, let me say the subject of aiding
a disabled boat is worthy of its own
article and I am just touching on it
here. Hopefully these two ideas
will facilitate the process if you
find yourself in a place to help.
• Once you have towed a boat to the
harbor raft to them in a ‘hip tie’
position. This means your bow will
be tied to their aft quarter. The idea
is to get the boats linked together
with your rudder behind the stern
of the boat being towed. This will
greatly increase maneuverability. It
may also allow you to push them
into a slip.
• Be sure and have the aft and forward
spring lines tied tight as both will
be needed to apply forward and
reverse thrust. Any slack in these
lines will cause things to jerk when
changing directions.
Rafting can be a lot of fun and safe
when done properly. It takes some
common sense and occasionally a bit
of extra boat handling skill. But the
rewards are worthwhile.

Sail Back to a More Innocent Time
By Rich Johnson
Port of Friday Harbor Marina. Shaw and Orcas Islands
in the background.
What was this place, anyway —
this Friday Harbor; this idyllic island
community surrounded by the pristine
beauty of the Pacific Northwest? What
kind of people live here, that the children
find joy not in a joystick but in a wooden
stick with a tiny dip net attached?
The youthful patter of feet on D-dock
stirred me from my bunk, where I was fighting
to keep the novel in my sleepy hands from
falling on my face. It was supposed to be a
thriller, but somehow the story had lost its
momentum and was anesthetizing me.
That’s when the soft sound of feet and the
giggle of children’s voices tumbled into my
ears.
It was shortly after moving to the Pacific
Northwest years ago, and was our first voyage
to Friday Harbor, the hub of maritime activity
in the San Juan Islands. This is a jumping
off point for sailors heading north into the

Fairweather Park, just above the marina.
Canadian Gulf Islands, the breathtaking
coastline of British Columbia, and on
to Alaska.
Our adventure wasn’t going to take
us quite that far. We came to the San
Juans hoping to sail alongside a pod of
Orcas, but we found something even
better — at least in my estimation.
It was a first exposure for Becky
and me, discovering all that goes on
in this mythic place we had heard
about, read about, and dreamed about
cruising to for so many years while
living elsewhere across the country.
And now here we were, and in the
darkness of our first night in Friday
Harbor there were voices outside —
voices of children.
I tumbled out of my bunk. “Do you
hear that?” I asked Becky.
She looked up from her reading at
the dinette table and nodded. “Let’s go
take a look and see what’s up.”
When we stepped from the cockpit
onto the slip finger, in the distance
we could see the bouncing beams
of flashlights dancing on the water
between boats. We strolled toward the
mysterious activity and, as our eyes
adjusted to the darkness, we could
see the silhouettes of three kids of
various sizes bent over the edge of the
dock, their attention firmly focused on
something.
Standing off to one side was a
fatherly-looking man, obviously there
to supervise the adventure. We hailed
him as we approached the scene, and
after exchanging pleasantries, I asked,
“What’s going on?”
“Ah,” he smiled, “you must be new
to Friday Harbor.”
“This is our first visit,” I replied.
“So, what are the kids doing?”
He motioned for us to draw closer to
the children, each of whom was armed
with a small dip net and a flashlight.
“They’re fishing for shrimp,” the man
said. “It’s a nightly tradition around
here.”
Just then, one of the youngsters
squealed and pulled up her dripping
net. “I got one!” she whispered as
loud as she could, under the quieting
direction of her dad.
“Good for you,” he gave her a little
hug, “but let’s not wake up the whole
marina.”
She nodded enthusiastically, her
face alive with a grin, not the least bit
dampened by the requirement to be
somewhat less noisy.
Without hesitation, this little girl I
guessed to be about 5 years old, held
up the dip net to proudly show Becky
and me her prize. Perfect strangers,
we were, yet we were invited by this
innocent child to share in the joyful
moment.

That’s when I choked, and in the
darkness my eyes filled with emotion.
Nobody else noticed my reaction, as
the little girl quickly turned back to
the edge of the dock, flipped the lucky
shrimp back into the drink, and then
bent down to hunt another in best
catch-and-release fashion.
But I was left standing there
pondering the wonder of it all. Had
we somehow sailed into a time warp
that led us back to a more innocent
era? What was this place, anyway —
this Friday Harbor; this idyllic island
community surrounded by the pristine
beauty of the Pacific Northwest? What
kind of people live here, that the
children find joy not in a joystick but
in a wooden stick with a tiny dip net
attached?
I looked out across the marina to the
town beyond and was left speechless by
the beauty of what I saw, as the lights
from boats and from the town danced
on the dark water. In the background
was the soft laughter of the children as
they chased shrimp, and I was instantly
wrapped in a desire to discover the rest
of what makes this place so special.
We spent a week there, during
which time we walked all over town,
met the local residents, went to church,
danced in the park to the marimba
band, studied the totems, and engaged
in activities that I never even thought
existed in this over-busy electronicentertainment world we live in.
I’ll mention only one other thing
that blew me away, and then I’m going
to leave it to you to sail to Friday
Harbor and discover the rest yourself
— it’ll be more fun for you that way.
That one thing was this: The San
Juan Island group consists of several
inhabited (and lots of uninhabited)
islands, and the school children on the
outlying islands catch the inter-island
ferry as if it were a school bus. So, what
do school kids do while on this floating
bus? You’ll never guess, so I’ll have to
tell you. They put together puzzles.
That’s right! Remember those
500-piece jigsaw puzzles that used to
entertain us back in the good old days?
Well, on the inter-island ferry, there
are many tables where the kids crowd
around like a team and put their minds
to work studying relationships of color
and shape and design.
When we first saw this, I was
amazed. The inter-island ferry is free to
ride, so Becky and I took multiple trips
around the loop of islands, alternately
marveling at the scenery and working
on a puzzle. In fact, we got so caught up
in the puzzle thing that we just stayed
on the ferry as permanent passengers
for several trips in a row until we were
able to complete “our” puzzle.
The ferry crew soon caught on to
what we were up to, and allowed us
to stay aboard during their routine
safety checks and drills. We were the
only ones not in uniform, but everyone
from the captain on down smiled at
our determination, recognizing that we
had escaped for a while from the bustle
of “real” civilization, and they didn’t
want to spoil our fun.
One day, while Becky and I worked
on the puzzle, a little girl (maybe 11
years old) came up and asked if she
could sit with us and work on the
puzzle. I was flabbergasted. Don’t these
kids know this is a dangerous world
where you don’t just walk up and talk
with strangers? Anyway, we invited
her to join us. She was a talker — very
outgoing. She told us her dad was a
park ranger on San Juan Island, and he
and her brother were on the ferry, but
she wanted to come and help us with
the puzzle.
What can I say? The whole
experience made me wish we could
uproot and move to the islands
permanently, where we could live
among people like this.
That was our first voyage to Friday
Harbor, and it instantly became a
cherished destination that we return to
often on our 26-foot trailerable sailboat
named Three Eagles (in honor of our
three sons who each earned the Eagle
rank in the Boy Scouts).
If you’re ever in Friday Harbor on
a summer night, walk the docks and
maybe you’ll find Becky and me among
the kids, dip nets and flashlights in
hand, giggling about the big one that
we just turned loose.

Controlling the Control Line
The Headsail Furling Control Line is responsible for rolling up
the headsail when you’re done with it, or for partial reefing when
sailing. Whether this is a new installation or you are upgrading
existing furling gear, there are some things to be aware of to keep
this line out from under foot while ready and easy to use.
By Jack and Alex Wilken
90°
article, “Fasteners: Nuts, Bolts and
Screws”.
What do you want from this control
line? It should be easy to let out, wind
evenly on the drum of the furler, be
able to be pulled in quickly, and readily
secured. Ease of letting it out includes
it being able to be let go of quickly from
some accessible point in the cockpit. The
same is true for pulling it in. The lead
should be such as to allow the use of a
winch, either a primary or secondary if
the primary is occupied. The winch is
only for high wind conditions. If you
need a winch under normal conditions,
there is something wrong with your
furling gear or its installation. Another
important feature of all this is that the
deck is kept usable and safe. Lines
getting tangled and crew getting hurt
are never fixings for a good day.
Figure 1: The block is attached to the
inside of the pulpit so that the line is at a
90 degree angle to the headstay.
Figure 2: Fairleads sticking out from the
stanchions are an obstacle. Your crew will
appreciate it if the line is kept outside the
lifelines.
We, like you, have our favorite
pieces of hardware for, after all, we
are sailors. What sailor does not have
his or her favorite gear? However, in
this article our focus is about function
rather than a particular manufacturer.
There are very similar pieces of
hardware on the market, each with its
own slight differences. Your boat and
how you are going to use it will be the
determining factors as to which will be
best for you in setting up your headsail
furling control line.
A quick word about fastenings, as
most of the blocks or fairleads will use
machine screws and nuts to affix them
to the stanchions. No matter what the
manufacturer uses, you can normally
replace them with machine screws that
have an Allen socket. These are our
preference for ease of mounting and
dismounting. For information about
fastenings go online to our May, 2012
Figure 3: Fairleads are on both the gate stanchions but not the
supports. Rubbing on the support will not chafe the control line.
Drum and line- Let’s start forward
at the furling gear itself. The line will
vary in size depending on the size of
the drum- this is also a function of the
boat size. A rule of thumb is a 20-somefoot boat needs a 1/4” diameter line, a
30-ish foot boat would like to see 5/16”
to 3/8”, and so on. The drum will only
hold so much line and, when the sail
is out, it should not be completely full.
Figure 4: This fairlead is actually quite simple but very universal.
It can be fitted to any size stanchion and mounted inside or out.
Keep 3 turns on the drum when the sail
is in. The number of turns on the drum
when the sail is out will vary with the
size of the sail- for 20 some footers
expect 15 turns, for 30ish feet, 27 turns,
and 40 plus footers, 23 turns. These
were measured off actual boats so yours
may vary. The reason the number of
turns is less on the 40-footer is because

gear has a larger circumference. Many
of the high tech, very low stretch lines
which are used for halyards are stiffer
than good old Samson XLS. As always,
smaller diameter lines under tension
can be harder to grip, so we use the
largest that will fit comfortably on the
drum.
First fairlead- This is usually an
articulated block that is mounted on
the bow pulpit. This often incorporates
a spring in the mounting bracket so the
weight of the block will not pull the
line down. The placement of the block
should be so that the line arrives to the
drum at close to a 90° angle. (Figure 1)
Typically, this is mounted so the line is
inside the bow pulpit at this point.
Other fairleads- We like to mount
these so that the line now moves
outside the stanchions. They should be
mounted as low as possible. There are
fairleads which can only mount with
the line on the inside or that protrude
on the deck side of the stanchions,
but these are often ankle bangers.
(Figure 2) The line could rub on the
stainless steel stanchions without
much chafing, but usually we will put
a fairlead at every vertical stanchion,
ignoring gate supports. (Figure 3) Most
boats are built with 1” stanchions so the
vast majority of blocks and fairleads fit
this size, but some can accommodate
larger sizes. (Figure 4)
Cockpit block- When we arrive to
the cockpit, the line will need a good

angle to a winch or winches. On boats
less than 40-feet, you can use a ratchet
block with a cam cleat. (Figure 5) The
ratchet takes the load off the cam cleat
but will not stop the line from running
out when the cam is disengaged. As
you get into bigger boats, mount a rope
clutch between the block and a winch.
Summary- On larger boats it may
be a better solution to fairlead the line
along the side or on top of the cabin
to the cockpit where it can be handled
with other lines running back from the
mast. In all cases the line will work
best if it is not too stiff and slips easily
through fairleads. Make sure the line
is fed around the drum in the correct
direction or you will furl your genoa
with the sun protection (assuming you
have it) on the inside. If you are trying
to furl and meet unusual resistance, look
up. Make sure you have not wrapped
a halyard around the headstay and
are now jamming it further. Of course,
three strand line is unsuitable for the
control line as it will twist and cause
problems.
When you are happy with the way
you have the control line, you better
get out there and try it out! Happy sea
trials— and, of course, keep sailing.

Lipton Cup
Northwest 6 Metre fleet continues
a historic 99-year tradition
by Joshua May
T
he International 6 Metre, often called the
6mR (6 metre Rule), is one of the great
racing yacht classes of all time. The 6mR is
also considered by many to be the stepping
stone of the modern sailing sloop. Over the
last 100 years, intense world class competition
bred innovation in both design and detail that
has influences yacht design for decades. We are
fortunate here in the Pacific Northwest to have
one of the largest and most active 6mR fleets
in the world. The 22 yachts that constitute the
Puget Sound Fleet maintain with dignity, the
pedigree of the 6mR in the Americas.
The International 6 Metre class is
a construction class of racing yachts
where not all the boats are identical.
In fact, the “Six Metre” name does
not actually refer to the boat’s length,
but is a product of a formula. Each
boat was designed to meet the
specific measurement formula of the
International Rule while taking into
account design innovations of the time.
In actuality, the average 6mR is about
33 feet long, but only 6 feet wide.
The International Rule was
established in 1907 to replace localized
handicap racing systems that produced
sailboats that were too impractical
for international competition. The
6mR class was the smallest rating
established under the rule and due to
its popularity was chosen as a class in
the 1908 Olympic Games.
With continued success and
refinement of the International Rule,
the 1920’s and 30’s saw a golden
age of the International Metre boats;
with the 6mR being the most popular
international racing class. Top sailors
and designers from around the world
competed in the Olympics and for
prestigious international trophies such
as the Scandinavian Gold Cup. Due to

the intense level of competition and
performance driven innovation, the
class soon became too expensive for
most and by the late 40’s was replaced
by the 5.5 Metre as the premier
international racing class.
In the 1980’s a renewed interest in
the 6mR brought about a revival with
many of the yachts being restored or
rebuilt to racing condition. Today the
6mR class is thriving with hundreds of
boats actively racing around the world.
Divided into two primary eras of design
innovation, the class today includes
classics and moderns. Still following
the International Rule, each boat from
stem to stern may look very different in
shape, but in fact, actual differences are

nine 6mR yachts, including five
classics and four moderns would
be invited to race in Port Madison
for the 2012 Lipton Cup.
As I arrived at the Port
Madison Yacht Club and looked
out over the boats nestled in the
protected and romantic enclave
of Port Madison, I felt a great
deal of anticipation. I had been
invited to sail with Jim Metteer
aboard his beautifully rebuilt
1948 classic, Fokus 3, at this year’s
Lipton Cup. I was enchanted
with the idea that I was taking
part in a moment of American
history. Even the yacht I was to sail,
had an amazing pedigree, its history
rich and colorful.
Fokus 3 was designed and built in
1948 by Bjarne Aas. She was known
as Exit on Puget Sound in the 60's
and 70's and before that she was Little
Sister sailing out of Youngstown, New
York. Fred Obersheimer sailed the boat
on Lake Ontario in the 50's. Fokus 3
(formally Norway 79) is remembered
historically as a force to contend with,
especially when the winds freshen.
Fokus 3 was near derelict when Harry
Hofmann purchased the boat in the
early 80's. After Harry's death the boat

minute. Even performance differences
between the boats are minor.
I was introduced to the 6mR for the
first time during the Pacific Northwest
Sir Thomas Lipton Cup, this past June.
As the story goes, while visiting Seattle
around 1912, the Scottish tea baron Sir
Thomas Lipton, was so impressed with
the physical beauty of the area and
what he saw as perfect sailing waters,
that he promised to donate a perpetual
challenge cup to the Seattle Yacht Club.
The Cup was first contested in 1913 by
the "R" boats Sir Tom of the SYC and
Turenga of RVYC, Canada. With the
demise of the "R" class, the Cup became
the main trophy of the Northwest 6mR
class in the 30’s. For the 99th year,

With sunshine and just a hint of

1955 Bjarne Aas built Hanko III, put
it, ”60% of the weight is below the
water line. The boats move well
and are stable in heavy weather...
a lot like an iceberg.” As the wind
builds, the 6mR likes to heal and use
its hull length and sweeping ends
for speed. Dennis also added that
the more experienced crew don’t
ease the sails when overpowered
in breeze, but rather “Move lead”
by pinching and slightly luffing
the sails to work the boat’s mass to
weather.
By the end of day one, we had
raced four intensely competitive
windward-leeward buoy races in
challenging conditions. The father
and son race committee of Dan &
Pat Taylor, worked diligently to
set short but fair courses for the
competition. The 1937 classic Lulu,
owned by Craig Downey, would
lose its mast before days end. Sure
enough, just as soon as the fleet
made way for protected waters,
the rains subsided and the sun
broke through the clouds to send some
warmth our way. The fleet as a whole,
gathered at the quaint PMYC along the

the annual solstice party with great
food and jovial stories of the day’s
adventures.
After a great party and a good
night’s rest the fleet set out for
another day of action. Conditions
on day two would favor the classics,
with light breeze and flat water.
Eric Jespersen’s 1938 S&S, Goose,
held the lead with Rodger Phillips’
1977 modern, Frenzy, close behind.
Two races would be planned for
Sunday and with no throw-outs,
every race counted. After two
intense and very close races, Goose
would take the Cup. Winning the
classic division would be Goose,
followed by Fokus 3 and then Hanko
III. Winning the moderns division
would be Frenzy.
At day’s end, we paddled

a
deep cut into the west side
of the island of Taha’a,
which shares an outer reef
with the island of Raiatea;
a larger metropolitan
island while Taha’a is the
quiet, sparsely inhabited,
little sister. It’s a challenge
to anchor here as the bay is
over 100 feet deep with a fringing reef
and frequent gusts that sweep down
the valley. Thankfully we could use a
mooring labeled Vanilla Tours. Twenty
years ago Alain Plantier, an avid French
sailor and botanist, set down anchor on
the hillside and he now enthusiastically
shares his love of the island leading
vanilla tours. (vanilla.tours@mail.pf
or VHF 9). From the moment we met
Alain at his dock, to begin our tour with
a visit through his lush, exotic tropical
garden until we finished our Land Rover
journey around Taha’a Alain captivated
us with his encyclopedic knowledge that
included how Taha’a came to know as
the “Vanilla Island.”
Vanilla first left Mexico in the
1500’s on ships bound for Spain after
the Spanish conqueror Herman Cortez
noted an Emperor enjoying a royal
beverage of vanilla-scented chocolate.
Spanish factories were soon preparing
vanilla-chocolate but the French grew
tired of getting their vanilla from Spain so
they took plants to the Bourbon Islands.
Although the vines grew well, the orchid
did not produce fruit. The mystery was
solved in 1836 when Charles Morren, a
Belgian botanist, observed that a tiny
bee uniquely equipped to pollinate the
orchids was found only in the vanilla
regions of Mexico. The bee didn’t
survive outside Mexico so Morren began
hand pollinating the blossoms.

saffron, vanilla is the second-mostexpensive spice in the world. Up to a
thousand flowers can be produced on
a single vine, with each flower being
hand-pollinated in the early morning
as, later in the afternoon, the sun causes
the fragile orchid to whither. In the short
season as many as 10,000 orchids need
to be “married” in a morning. Long
thin pods then develop and are picked
when green, plunged into hot water,
then dried and sweated for up to six
months until they turn dark brown and
develop vanillin, the crystalline white
"frost" on the beans outside.
In addition to its vanillin, Tahitian
vanilla contains anis aldehydes, which
Vanilla
Tahitensis
Orchid
gives it a more cherry-like,
licorice, or raisin taste and
although the bean contains
fewer seeds inside than
Bourbon and Mexican
vanilla, it’s fatter, sweeter,
moister, fruitier, with a very
intense floral fragrance
making it a delight to cook
with.
Vanilla Extract
1 cup vodka, brandy or rum
3 vanilla beans
Slice vanilla beans down their length
except the last inch, thus keeping the
bean intact. Into a glass jar add vodka
and vanilla beans pushing them down
until they are covered. Cover jar and let
sit out of the light. You will start to taste
some vanilla flavor after a few days.
After 8 weeks the vanilla extract has a
nice amber color. Decant the extract into
smaller bottles (makes nice gifts) adding
a vanilla bean.
Savory Pork Tenderloin
1 3lb pork tenderloin
⅓ cup soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 garlic cloves - minced
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
Marinate tenderloin with ingredients
in refrigerator 4 hours, occasionally turn
tenderloin. Grill tenderloin over direct
heat for 4 minutes each side or until
nicely seared. Grill over indirect medium
heat for 35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes
before slicing. Serves 4.
Roasted Veracruz Pasta
This sauce is also delicious served
with meats, poultry, or seafood.
4 large cloves garlic - unpeeled
2 onions
2 carrots
4-6 fresh New Mexican green chilies
2 red peppers
2 lbs tomatoes
1½ tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil - diced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram or
oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon cumin seeds - toasted & ground
2 teaspoons coriander seeds - toasted & ground
2 tablespoons small capers
¼ cup tequila
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1lb zucchini - thinly sliced
salt and fresh-ground pepper
12 ounces pasta - cooked to el dente
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
Preheat oven to 450°F. Leave
vegetables whole, do not peel or cut, rub
them with olive oil placing them on an
oiled baking sheet. Bake until skins are
browned and insides softened. Remove
vegetables as soon as they’re done, letting
the rest cook as long as needed; onions
and garlic approximately 30 minutes.
When cool, squeeze out garlic, remove
skin from onions and peppers, and seeds
from peppers. Chop vegetables and add
to a hot skillet coated with olive oil.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, spices,
capers, and tequila, simmer 15 minutes.
Add vanilla and zucchini, cook until just
brightly colored. Season to taste. Toss
with pasta, garnish with cilantro, nuts,
and cheese. Serves 8.
Fish with Vanilla Cream Sauce
4 fillets of mahi, halibut or cod
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 shallot - sliced thin
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup white wine
¼ cup chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
salt and fresh-ground pepper
Sauté fish in oil until golden on each
side, 3-4 minutes. Remove fish and cover
with foil. In the same pan sauté shallots
1 minute, stir in vanilla, stock and wine.
Slowly add cream, salt and pepper, cook
until sauce is reduced by half. Return
fish to pan, coat with sauce and cook 2
minutes until everything is combined.
Serve with jasmine rice.
Vanilla Crème Brulee
1 cup half-and-half
1 vanilla bean
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg plus 8 egg yolks
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1½ cups heavy cream, cold
4 tablespoons superfine sugar
Preheat oven to 325ºF. In a small
saucepan combine half-and-half, vanilla
bean, and extract. Heat until just scalded,
do not boil. Fill a large bowl with water
and add ice. In a medium bowl whisk
together egg, egg yolks, and granulated
sugar. Gradually stir in scalded mixture
and place the smaller bowl in the iced
water to cool completely. Remove
vanilla bean, stir in heavy cream and
divide among eight 4-ounce ramekins.
Place in a baking dish and add enough
hot water to come halfway up the
ramekins sides, cover tightly with foil
and bake 35 minutes. Refrigerate custard
until completely cool. Preheat broiler,
sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar on top of
custard. Broil until sugar is melted and
caramelized, about 30 seconds. If using
a torch replace the superfine sugar with
raw sugar and pass flame about 2 inches
over surface until sugar caramelizes.
Serve warm. Serves 8.

“Why do I do it? Cause its Race Week!
It's the only week I ask for off all year. Short of my
grandmother’s funeral, it’s the only vacation time I
take stateside. The whole week is super fun for me
and I wouldn't miss it for the world.” - Jeff Fildey
T
hese simple words could sum
up the feelings of just about
anyone of the more than 1,000 sailors
attending Whidbey Island Race Week
2012 from July 15 through July 20, but
for Jeff Fildey, owner of the Rocket 22,
South Lake Union Trolley, it goes a bit
further, literally. In real life, Fildey is
a contractor based in Afghanistan and
his commute to Oak Harbor begins in
Kandahar, half a world and more than
36 hours, by plane, each way.
Whidbey Island Race Week, now in
its 30th year, is just that -- a “must do”
-- and once done, it must be done again.
And again, and again. Sailboat racing can
be very addictive and, for the lucky 115
boats that made the effort to get there this
year, Penn Cove confirmed once again,
that it is one of the best places on earth
to race sail boats.

Race Week 2012
“Uno,” “Avalanche” and “Absolutely”
competing in Fleet P2.
Misty morning marine layers gave
way to sunny afternoons followed up by
warm evenings — tee shirts and shorts,
with maybe an extra layer of fleece for
the upwind beat. Winds were variable,
from a few teasing light easterlies to
the traditional steady westerly, topping
out around 10 to 12 knots, all against a
backdrop of lush, green, rolling hills
backed up by snow capped mountains
— perfect PNW conditions.
Yes, perhaps a few more degrees of
heat would have been nice, bringing with
it a few more knots of breeze, but with
8 to 10 races completed in each of the
11 fleets and including the prerequisite
7th race needed to factor in a throw out,
racing was close in every class, with the
overall winners undetermined until the
last finish gun was fired, and even then
it came down to tie-breakers in no less
than four classes.
One of those tie-breakers was
needed to decide the winner of the
2012 Thunderbird International
Championship. The 16-boat Thunderbird
fleet selected WIRW to host their
Championships; no doubt as a nod of
respect for the consistent high-quality
professional race committee work done
by Charley Rathkopf and his awesome
team of loyal volunteers. Running two
boats plus whaler support for mark
management allowed Rathkopf and his
team to run two lines, one for starts and
one for finishes. This year the course
variations included two to three laps,
and even a gate, just for giggles, in one
race on Thursday. This RC works hard on
the water and still has fun in the evening
(yes, Gracie, that was your dad in the
dunk tank Wednesday night).
The Thunderbird fleet has its roots
firmly planted in the Pacific Northwest
with hull number one launched in
November of 1958 by Eddon Boat
Company in Gig Harbor, Washington.
Seattle naval architect Ben Seaborn
designed the boat in response to a design
competition, sponsored by the Douglas
Fir Plywood Association, which called
for design of a new sailboat which could
sleep four, sail competitively, and be built
entirely of plywood (of course). Fifty
years later, fleets are found around the
world, including Ontario, Canada and
Perth, Australia.
Kevin Battye, of the Royal Geelong
Yacht Club, in Victoria, Australia,
traveled the farthest, chartering hull
number 20, Water Torture, but it was the
local Seattle boat, Predator, with Craig
Burnell on the helm, that claimed this
year’s top honors in a tie breaker over
Duncan Stamper, on the boat Sunday,
out of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.
Kyle Henehan’s San Diego based
Compound X, representing Mission Bay
Yacht Club, took third for the week, just
six points back.
“Shrek,” a 1D35 (first in Fleet 0) leads
“White Cloud” to the mark.
The “T-Bird” fleet also included
some fun family connections with
Burnell’s cousin, Stuart Burnell, aboard
the T-Bird, Kuma San, and the Carey
brothers, Tim and Kevin, on Invader. In
addition to great racing, rumor has it that
the T-Bird fleet also won the dock party
— when is the last time you successfully
pulled off a “keg stand?”
Another class that chose WIRW as
the venue for their championships was
the Viper class. Ten Vipers made the
journey to Penn Cove for their Pacific
Coast Championships and, thanks to
a throw-out, it was California-based
boat builder Ed Feo, on Locomotion,
representing the Alamitos Bay Yacht
Club, who broke the tie over local favorite
Garret Johnson and his Anacortes YC
KAA crew. Both Locomotion and KAA
ended the week tied with a final tally of
26 points after both teams tossed a 6th
place finish, but it was Feo and crew that
took the last bullet, and overall honors.
Coming in third was Dr. James Sears and
his “new guys” on FNG, also hailing from
the California Alamitos YC.
In the Melges 24 class Tom Norris,
of Corinthian YC, took first in class on
Gravy with 18 points while 2nd and 3rd
place also came down to a tie-breaker,
this time between fellow CYC members
Chris Johnson’s Wiggle Room and John
Rahn’s Pickled Beets. Once again it
all came down to that last race, with
Wiggle Room taking the final bullet and
bumping themselves into 2nd overall
over the Pickled Beets crew.
The J-105 class had eight boats on
the start line with Free Bowl of Soup, out
of Portland, Oregon, placing 2nd for
the week, upsetting the usual top dog
finisher Erik Kristen on Jubilee, just one
point back in third. Coming out on top of
the pack, overall, was Jerry Diercks and
the Seattle-based Delirium crew.
Prowler, Leslie Kirk’s Flying Tiger
10M out of West Vancouver, Canada,
took first overall in the P1 Super 30 fleet,
an “almost” one-design group made up
of similar go-fast boats all rating in &
around 30 PHRF. In second place was
another FT 10M, Charlie Mike, out of
Milwaukie, Oregon and named to honor
owner Charles Rice’s grandfather and
the Army call sign “Continue Mission.”
In third place was the Daniel Randolph’s
Farr 30 Nefarious out of Seattle.
Every boat name comes with a story
and one of the best of the week was for
65 Red Roses, Bruce Chan’s Farr 30,
another Vancouver, BC, boat. Sailing
with a crew of no less than four gals, the
boat was named to honor Eva Markvoort,
a young woman from British Columbia
that blogged about her battle, eventually
lost, to Cystic Fibrosis. According to the
crew, Markvoort gave the owner her
blessing to use the name shortly before
her death in 2010 at the tender age of 25.
The Canadian cystic fibrosis community
explains further that “65 roses” is a
malapropism among children with the
disease for “cystic fibrosis” - Eva added
'red' because it was her favorite color.
Six classes of PHRF racing rounded
out the fleet with at least another
10 Canadian boats -- gotta love that
Canadian dollar at par -- plus a few more
from California, Utah and Oregon.
The all-boy crew on the Canadian
J-109, Diva, dominated the 11 strong P2
class with Brad Butler’s UNO, a Sierra
26x taking 2nd. Just two points back was
Astral Plane, another J-109 out of BC.
P3 was another class that needed
to resort to a tie-breaker to decide the
overall finisher. Finishing the week with
just 10 points it was Bryan Agnetta’s very
pretty Davidson 30, Dangerous When
Wet, whose bullet in the week’s final
race secured them the top spot for the
week. Bob Mayfield and Pat Nelson’s
J-29, Slick, took second, also with just
10 points. Third place went to Shoot the
Moon, Don Wills’ poster worthy red IOR
two-toner. Wills has competed at every
Whidbey Island Race Week for the past
30 years, his achievement recognized
by gracing the artwork on this year’s
WIRW poster and the August cover of
48° North. Ironically, the graceful Q-class
boat, Grayling, built in 1923 by Nathen
Herreshoff, was an earlier boat of Wills’
and also racing again this year, in P9.
Grayling is now lovingly maintained and
campaigned by Duke Phan.
In the “Sportboat Fleet,” aka PHRF 8,
Ogopogo, the new little Dart, locally built
by Jim Lee and Left Coast in Anacortes
and helmed by Paul Faget, collected
their share of bullets, taking first overall
for the week. Nipping at their heels was
Octopussy, Chris Lloyd’s Rocket 22 with
Alan Barnes, from the Okanogan, on
the helm.
Having fun while continuing to
improve their finishes as the week went
on, was the other Rocket 22, South Lake
Union Trolley (aka “Slut”). “I've had the
boat since the end of ‘05. She's hull 1
and I'm happy to show that with some
TLC she can be competitive. I have Alan
Barns to thank for the crew. He was able
to get them together for me. It was our
first time sailing together,” reflected
owner Jeff Fidley.
As another boat with a good story
behind its name, crew member Mike
Mechaelis, whom Fidley credits with
the name idea, further explained, “The
name South Lake Union Trolley came
Whidbey Island
Race Week, now in its
30th year, is a
“must do,” and once
done, it must be done
again and again.
to me when a news report about the
new street car in Seattle was talked
about... and with famous boats named
after public transportation (Ponsonby
Express, Bondi Tram etc.) and Jeff’s boat’s
history of allowing multiple people sail
her, I thought what could be a better
name?”
Blue Martini, Laney Gale’s Olson
911 out of Hood River, Oregon, with Jeff
Janders driving, dominated the PHRF
9 fleet with a string of bullets and just
one 6th place finish (to factor in the
throw out). Finishing second, Bodacious,
J. Rosenbach’s Beneteau 35s5 held off
Kowloon, Ken Chin’s Olson 911.
And finally, in PHRF 0, there was
an epic battle between two strong
Northwest boats, Brad Cole’s Melges
32, Ballistic, which favored the lighter
air, and John Hoag’s Shrek, which really
needed a bit more breeze to perform.
As one of four 1D35’s on the start line,
it was Shrek that took the overall in the
“big boat” class - by just one point. “It all
came down to a race on Wednesday in
which we got missed first place by just
two seconds. Had we won that race it
would have put us in first overall. Very
close racing with and against amazing
crews. We'll get ‘em next year!” reflected
Cole afterward.
Or perhaps local Navy Jet pilot Kevin
Jones deserves the credit for Shrek’s win.
Jones, who recently picked up an Olson
30 of his own, was invited to join the
Shrek crew (all former O30 racers) on
Wednesday, lending an extra hand, and
some muscle, in the gybes. On Thursday
he said thanks by “making some noise”
above Penn Cove and giving a “wing
rock” to the entire fleet with his Boeing
built EA18 Growler. It’s always nice to
have the locals on your side!

STYC Single Handed Race
August 11
Attention sailors of all types, come
join the fun with the Sloop Tavern YC, as
we celebrate Seafair weekend with the
3rd annual Down the Sound Race to Gig
Harbor and back. This fun and popular
event features a day of shorthanded
sailing to Gig Harbor, along with
reserved moorage and a dinner party
with our friends at Arabella's Landing.
On the following day we do it all over
again with a race back to Shilshole. Both
days of racing use the pursuit style start
where each boat is given an individual
start time based on handicap, with the
theoretical expectation that all boats will
arrive at the finish line together.
This race is the second in the STYC
“Triple Sound” series, along with Race
to the Straits, and the J&J to be held
in early September. All three races are
limited to "short-handed" competitors
only, with separate divisions for single,
and double handed crews.
Entry deadline is August 3rd. See
www.STYC.org for more details.
S h o re s i d e e v e n t s i n c l u d i n g
registration, prize-giving, Saturday
margarita party, BBQ dinner and
dancing will take place at the stage area
of Cowichan Tribes Kil-Pah-Las beach.
Organized by: Cowichan Bay Sailing
Association. Contact: UK-Halsey NW
(800) 563-7245, www.cowbay-regatta.ca
or email: cowbayregatta@gmail.com
Calling all sailors with something
to prove. A challenge for those (wo)
man enough to get out there and show
us what you're made of. Given the
nature of sailing the course with no
one but yourself to rely on, the rules
exclude the use of spinnakers. Everyone
gains a higher level of proficiency, and
appreciation for what it takes to work
cooperatively with our boats, and the
environment in which we sail. For more
details: www.STYC.org
Shaw Island Classic
August 11
The 42nd Annual Shaw Classic is the
high point of summer sailing activities
in the San Juan Islands. All boats are
grouped into divisions depending
upon their type, class, and handicap
ratings. The divisions include multihulls,
unballasted centerboards, registered
PHRF boats and cruising sailboats of all
sizes and rigs.
The race starts and finishes in Friday
Harbor. The course permits rounding
Shaw Island either clockwise or counterclockwise. A navigation challenge,
currents, winds and projected boat
speed must be factored into an equation
to determine which way to round the
island. After the race, winners will be
announced at the traditional lasagna
dinner. Race applications are available by
emailing fleetcaptain@sjiyc.com or the
San Juan Island YC at (360) 378-3434 or
downloaded from: www.sjiyc.com. All
entries must be received at the club no
later than 8:00 pm Friday, August 10.

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,

Volvo Ocean Race
Quickly Around the Globe
A look at the Volvo Ocean Race, past and future
by David Schmidt
While everyone knew that the
2011/2012 Volvo Ocean Race (VOR) was
going to be competitive, the race’s full
boom-and-bust nature didn’t become
obvious until boats started breaking:
Masts snapped, hulls delaminated, and
sails tore as the fleet of six highly strung
Volvo Open 70s, all built to an open box
rule, sprinted around the globe, stopping
en route at various host cities—and at
random locales to make repairs or to
avoid pirates—to help spread the good
word of sailing (and their sponsors).
Along the way, leaderboard fortunes
were made and lost and the world had
its last look at an open-design VOR, at
least for now.
Some back story: while not as
spendy as an America’s Cup campaign,
a serious R&D budget
(money and time), great
sailors, innovative
designers and world-class
composite boatbuilders are
all prerequisites for a VOR
program. While this hurdle
is formidable, the boats are
capable of staggering 24hour runs (skipper Torben
Grael and his Ericsson 4 crew
set the current monohull 24hour record of 596.6 miles
during the 2008/2009 VOR)
and top speeds in the low
40-knot range…provided, of course, that
they stay together.
Six boats started the race in Alicante,
Spain in November of 2011, but by the
time the fleet finished Leg One in Cape
Town, South Africa, their attrition rate
had hit fifty percent. Heroic efforts
were made and the beat went on, with
each successive leg bringing its share
of challenges (read: damage), successes
and on-the-water set-backs.
For the first half of the race, the
Spanish-flagged Telefonica was the
walk-away winner, and, for several
months, it appeared as though the
outcome was determined. Then, things
got interesting.
After leaving New Zealand,
Telefonica lost their momentum and
the Spaniards watched Puma Ocean
Racing win the race’s biggest, toughest
leg when their bow pierced the finishing
line in Itajai, Brazil. Puma repeated this
winning performance in Miami, but
further astern, Groupama and Emirates
Team New Zealand (ETNZ) were both
sailing fast, consistent races. The result
of this unrelenting pressure slowly
pushed Martinez and his Telefonica
crewmembers out of pole position. And
while Read and crew seriously turned
on the heat in the second half of the
race, a dismasting and a subsequent
withdrawal from Leg One created an
insurmountable points deficit that
allowed ETNZ and Groupama to exert
serious leverage over Telefonica. Despite
their half-a-globe of wins, Telefonica’s
mojo proved ephemeral.
The contest for podium positions
became a three-way battle between
ETNZ, Groupama and Puma Ocean
Racing, with the French team sailing
consistently fast, and with Read’s
American-flagged team hampered by
their points penalty. By the time the time
the fleet had returned to the Continent,
the battle was over, with first-time VOR
skipper Franck Cammas (Groupama)
declared the overall winners. ‘To win
the Volvo Ocean Race is a very fine
challenge when you’re a novice in this
format!’ reported Cammas. ‘We weren’t
a favorite or even an outsider at the start
in Alicante. We were here to discover
the scene without any pressure on our
shoulders, but to win was a surprise to
everyone.”
ETNZ won the final offshore leg,
which took teams from Lorient to Galway,
Ireland, thus cementing their silver-place
finish in the race’s overall standings,
closely followed by Read’s Puma Ocean
Racing. Martinez’ once
all-conquering Telefonica
squad finished in fourth
place, while Abu Dhabi
Ocean Racing took fifth
and Team Sanya rounded
out the scratch sheet.
But the biggest news
of all came at a late-June
press conference , where
race CEO Knut Frostad
announced a new class
of 65-foot One Design
boats, which will be used
to contest the next few

n Saturday, June 30th, the 36th
annual NW Catalina Day Regatta
was held at Shilshole Bay on Puget
Sound. The regatta consisted of three
“round-the-buoy” races, an after-race
social hour, dinner, and raffle/silent
auction. The after-race events were held
at the CYC clubhouse at the Shilshole
Marina.
Race day brought “unsettled”
conditions and that brought variable
winds, along with scattered showers.
The winds were generally from the
south, ranging from about 10 knots to
nearly calm by the late afternoon.
Sixteen Catalina sailboats entered,
ranging from 22 to 47 feet. After a slight
delay, the race committee managed to
get all three races in. The day was not
without close racing, a few uncalled
fouls, near misses, and interesting
sailing techniques (like using one’s
engine or getting a few minute’s head
start).
There are also over 200 pictures
posted of the event, taken by Dave Fend.
Check website: www.capsfleet1.com
After the racing, there was a really
tasty meal prepared by Nancy, Barb,
John, Betty, Roger, and numerous other
volunteer helpers that made the event
the success that is was.
I would like to add a special thanks
to Joe Swalwell, who agreed to donate
many hours preparing and his entire
Saturday to the event! Thank you to
Paris Woodard and Seattle Yachts for
providing the Catalina 385 for our
committee boat, and to Dave Fend and
Norm and Kathy Wells for helping out
on the committee boat, by providing
photography and flag/horn/timing
of the regatta. One last special thanks
goes to Dick Eagle for providing the
“relief device” for the race committee.
Without his assistance the time on the
committee boat would have been far
less enjoyable.

editions of the race. The new boats
will feature a canting keel, all-carbon
construction and will be almost as fast
as the VO70s, but the smaller vessels
are purported to be stronger and more
robust. Interestingly, the design contract
for the new boat went to Farr Yacht
Design, rather than to Juan K, who
designed the winning boats in the last
three editions of the race.
“We want to significantly lower
the entry barrier for new and existing
teams,” explained Frostad. “That means
that new teams can come in knowing
they have the same tools as the more
experienced ones. The boat will make it
possible for less-experienced ocean race
sailors to participate on a good level.”
The new Volvo One Design 65s will
be less expensive to build and operate
(estimates for a full-fledged campaign
are—ballpark—$15M-$17M dollars, a
reduction of some 30-40 percent over
current budget) and will require two
fewer crew members to race.
Also integral is the new boat’s
media-friendly design, which includes
wired-in cameras and microphones,
as well as a special cuddy area in the
cockpit, which will allow for impromptu
interviews, coupled—of course—with
the latest SatComm systems. Frostad
again: “For the first time ever the boat will
be designed for the media, rather than
have the media equipment fitted aboard
afterwards. We have some very exciting
plans with Inmarsat, which will allow us
to transmit very high-definition video
and tenfold on the current capacity.” For
fans, this media-forward design element
will mean unparalleled on-the-water
coverage and enough multimedia output
to satisfy the saltiest of armchair sailors.
Best yet, new class’ sturdier design and
construction should keep teams sailing,
rather than waiting-out lengthy repairs
on remote islands.
While the new class will likely
equate to more participants in the next
race, it’s a bittersweet moment to see
the race leave its innovative open-class
history for a One Design format. That
said, the new format will emphasize
teamwork and crew choreography—
rather than design tricks and corporate
war chests—thus rewarding the best
teams. Volvo has committed to building
at least eight of the new One Design
65s—thus demonstrating their long-term
commitment to sponsor the race—so
there’s little doubt that the race is headed
in the right direction. Moving forward,
expect even tighter finishing times
between boats and a greater focus on
offshore match-racing skills. Giddyap!

T
he venerable San Juan 24 Class held
its 2012 North Americans in Oak
Harbor, on June 16 & 17, with 20 boats on
the starting line, the largest attendance
for this event in many years. In addition
to boats from Oak Harbor, SJ 24s
came from Seattle, Edmonds, Everett,
Bellingham and the San Juans, with one
boat motoring down from Vancouver,
B.C. The fleet was both larger and
deeper than in 2011, so the competition
would no doubt be closer.
The Oak Harbor Fleet (aka,
“the Oak Harbor Vikings”) with the
assistance of the Oak Harbor YC,
demonstrated that, with an emphasis
on fun, good sportsmanship and close
racing, an active fleet can grow, even
with 40 year-old boats! The Oak Harbor
fleet obtained great race sponsorship
for the event, with monetary support
from Ullman Sails, North Sails, Fisheries
Supplies and West Marine, as well as
contributions from some Oak Harbor
companies.
Saturday only got two races
completed in a light southerly in
Saratoga Passage accompanying a
strong flood tide. In the first race a
wind shift benefited the boats that went
west with John Sanford’s Juan Pequanio,
rounding the windward mark in first
followed by Ken Johnson's Grauer
Geist and Dave Steckman's Renaissance;
Grauer read the strong tide to the
leeward mark a little better and was
able to round the mark inside of Juan
Pequanio and sailed on to win the race.
The second race was held in even lighter
winds, and the Race Committee wisely
decided to hold a shorter windwardfinish race. Skamokawa handled the light
winds best and took first, followed by
Return and Shannon Buys' Magic Juan.
A third race was abandoned.
The fleet celebrated the 40th
Anniversary with a great dinner party
Saturday night at Oak Harbor Yacht
Club and a talk with question and
answer session with Chuck Skewes of
Ullman Sails and former San Juan 24
North American Champion.
Sunday morning saw stronger
winds from the west at Smith Island and
gave strong promise to good racing in
Penn Cove. The Race Committee got
four good races completed in winds
ranging from 12 to over 20 knots, with
boats using all three jibs.
For Sunday’s racing, the Race
Committee set a line that favored the
southerly pin end, knowing that boats
often wanted to go to the north side
of Penn Cove to get into the counterclockwise current and starboard lift
generally found in the Cove. This spread
out the starts as boats starting at the
pin end had be confident they could
cross most of the fleet. Skamokawa and
Return battled back and forth in the first
race for the lead, with Return covering
Skamokawa on the last upwind beat, but
then tacked too soon to the finish. A
slight header near the Race Committee
boat allowed Skamokawa to stay inside
and get the gun just barely ahead. Grauer
had a great start but went too far to
the north and ran aground in the mud
banks of Penn Cove, and had to retire
from the race. Ryan Forbes’ Ekono Juan

swiftsure yachts the logbook for August 2012
One need only flip through the first few pages of Ferenc Mate’s book The World’s Best Sailboats
Alchemist
to find pictures of a Whistler 48, a sister ship to this Swiftsure Yachts listing, Alchemist. Designed
1991 Able Whistler 48
by Chuck Paine, the Whistler 48s all had different deck configurations depending on the owner’s
$375,000
needs. Alchemist has a raised salon some might call a pilothouse, as she does have a below-deck
steering station. Her inventive layout with two companionways works extremely well. Able Marine’s attention to detail
is evident in the top-notch joinery and the thought given to Alchemist’s systems and access. Alchemist has had a complete on-deck refit and shows like new above decks. Below she has a refinished floor and an interior that has been well
cared for by her one owner. This is a special boat, well suited for the Pacific Northwest. She is a must see.
