Ok, I'll admit it. I occasionally enjoy an activity outside of sailing. Last weekend, I had the chance to participate in a couple of them - I shared a mountain cabin with friends for some cross country skiing, and on Sunday I made my way to the little general store in town and rode the absolute roller coaster that was the Seahawks inspiring, emotional, nearly impossible comeback win in the NFC Championship game. If the commitment, improvisation, perseverance, and grit of those players and coaches isn’t something a sailor can identify with, I’m not sure what is. After a pretty much perfect day of skiing on Saturday, one of my friends asked how it was that I was willing to give up another great day of skiing on Sunday just to watch some football game on TV. I actually tried, fruitlessly, to explain it. Ultimately, I had to choose between two good options, and watching the game seeing the team I’d followed all year put it to the test in another win-or-go-home battle - just sounded a little more fun to me than another day of skiing. By the end of the game, I felt VERY validated in my decision, although after the first half I was thinking I made a big mistake. My friend went skiing, the fun choice for her, and never really understood my point of view. That conversation reminded me of one I had with my coworkers here at 48° North a few months back. I was very new to the magazine and was bouncing ideas around. The truth is, I was kind of proselytizing about spinnakers, how every sailor should learn to use one, and how I might have to write an editorial to that effect. I had spent years trying to empower my new-sailor clients to feel like they could and should do anything on boats. My enthusiasm on the subject was met with the appropriate counterpoint by the magazine veterans, that some people might not see flying a spinnaker as a part of their version of sailing fun. This was one of my first important exchanges of ideas with my new 48°N coworkers, and my colleagues helped remind me of something I learn more and more everyday: sailing can mean vastly different things to different people. Indeed, it covers a broad range for our readers. A sailor is one of the luckiest kinds of people, with the freedom to define and act on their own version of fun. If sailing fun for you is a quiet night at anchor - perfect. If it's surfing big waves in big seas - excellent. If planning a long trip and facilitating your own self-sufficiency, taking the kids to the islands, racing non-stop to Alaska (page 44), or learning a new skill is how you think of fun beautiful. Fun and freedom are a big part of what unites us as sailors, even if our definitions or priorities or venues may differ significantly. Since it’s still kind of boat show season, you're sure to encounter a sailor whose perspective on fun doesn’t look much like yours. It may be a little hard to explain, and maybe you’ll never see eye to eye and off you’ll both sail toward opposite horizons. But, when it comes right down to it, you almost certainly share more than you don't. Volume XXXIV, Number 7, February 2015 6327 Seaview Ave. N.W.

In some good, protected anchorages, the number of mooring balls has increased to where my perception was that a notable amount of anchoring space was gone. I experienced in one small bay that there was in effect no room to anchor. And the interesting thing is that the percentage of occupied mooring balls to total mooring balls seems surprisingly low. In other words, anchorable space is taken up by mooring balls that don't even have boats on them. Now, I know there is a cost to putting a mooring ball in, but unless I'm mistaken, where the mooring balls are placed is always public property. That is as much my water space as anyone else’s and a mooring ball effectively eliminates my public claim to that space. This space that is taken by mooring balls is much greater than just where the mooring ball floats, of course, because an anchored boat needs room to swing. A few mooring balls can eliminate thousands of square feet of anchorable space. In fact, after my experience in the bay with no room to anchor, it occurred to me that waterfront neighborhoods may consciously seek to establish mooring balls to keep anchored boats out so as to have more privacy for their waterfront property. A mooring ball in public water space is like a year-round claim by one person of a public camping site, even if they are never there. Those of us who pay substantial amounts of money every year to moor our boats in much more efficient marinas (in terms of space taken up per boat) are seeing our recreation opportunities reduced at a steady pace. Maybe the problem is not huge yet, but in my eyes, the trend is such that I believe a conversation is now in order. In all cases of limited resources, there are always balances to be struck between conflicting interests. My perspective may be incorrect in some ways. I would appreciate understanding the issue better. I’m just wondering if anyone else is seeing this as a problem, and if so, what action is needed to address this conflict of interests and to find a balance. Thank you for listening! Elena Leonard Seattle, WA Thanks for your message, Elena. After reading and talking over your letter, we decided to contact the DNR, who allocate and police mooring balls in Washington State, to see what they thought about your observation and your questions. I’d encourage you to read the response. It’s interesting to me that the DNR seems to think that illegal mooring balls are a part of the problem. www.48North.com YAGER SAILS & CANVAS Letters DNR Working to Make Mooring Buoys Work Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is responsible for ensuring Washington’s 2.6 million acres of state-owned aquatic lands are publicly-navigable in a manner that ensures environmental protection. Realizing the impact mooring buoys can have on both those missions, DNR’s Aquatics Division hired a full-time employee to monitor and authorize mooring buoys last year. DNR is committed to ensuring mooring buoys are authorized and placed in a way that doesn’t damage the environment or create navigational issues. To prevent scouring of the sea floor, DNR also requires mooring buoys on state-owned aquatic lands use anchors that screw directly into the sea floor, have encapsulated buoys and mid-water floats. These requirements are checked when a mooring buoy owner applies for a mooring buoy authorization through DNR. Unfortunately, a number of mooring buoys are placed without authorization. Unauthorized mooring buoys often present environmental and navigational concerns. They can contribute to degradation of aquatic habitat, decertification of shellfish beds, disruption of forage fish habitat and obstruct recreational and commercial fishing runs. DNR is working with local jurisdictions to identify unauthorized buoys and work to ensure they are authorized to Washington state’s standards. In Quartermaster Harbor, between Vashon and Maury islands, DNR worked with the community to develop a plan for improving moorage to protect navigation and the marine environment. That plan is posted on our web site at: w w w. d n r . w a . g o v / B u s i n e s s P e r m i t s / To p i c s / ShellfishAquaticLeasing/Pages/aqr_qtrmstr_hrbr_ mooring_buoy_plan.aspx If you have questions or concerns about mooring buoys, please let us know. We look forward to working with boaters and communities to ensure Washington’s waterways are healthy and accessible for generations to come.

I shipped aboard the 44’ (on deck) replica pilot cutter Amelie Rose, operated as Topsail Adventures. Our crew consisted of myself, Konrad and Mike (paying crew), Captain Nick Beck, and Mate Adam. We were five nights aboard, and every evening was spent in a different harbour. The harbours were generally very pretty places hidden in deep river-mouth estuaries. Nick and Adam soon had us trained up to handle the big gaff cutter rig, and despite her great mass, Amelie Rose sailed very well. We were fortunate to have enough wind to sail most of the time, and since it was blowing offshore, the seas were very moderate. Nick was exceptionally diligent in navigation and safety matters, and on top of that he was an excellent sea cook - Amelie Rose feeds good! It was a great way to explore the south coast of Britain, and experience sailing on a type of vessel developed in the mid 1800's on the Isles of Scilly. Gerry Stensgaard Vancouver, BC #SSPAC15 520 Bridge - Working on a Workaround For the past 23 years, we have been able to take our sailboat onto the lake and pass under the 520 bridge on the east side. The waterway under the arched bridge section was marked between 55’ to 64’ vertical clearance. At 62’ tall, we had clearance. Taller sailboats passed under the old 520 bridge closer to land as the highway gained more height, but experienced sailors knew there was a shoal if you went in too close. Things changed with the construction of the new 520 bridge. If a boat was taller than 44’, skippers had to make an appointment to have the bridge open. It was easy and the bridge crew worked well to accommodate us. Each bridge opening cost the taxpayers somewhere around $1500 plus a few aggravated motorists. Beginning in February of 2015, bridge construction will block the draw span of the old 520 bridge and it will PACIFIC 12 Dear 48° North, February 2015 www.48North.com Letters never open again. WSDOT will open the eastern waterway (Medina side) with a height restriction of 58 vertical feet. There appear to be about 50 boats that have moorage south of the 520 that have a decision to make: Stay locked on the lake south of the 520 bridge or find new moorage. The government estimated time is 18 months, two-summer boating seasons at least. It has been my contention, and my proposal to the Coast Guard and to the WSDOT: Sailboats should be able to get under the old 520, as they did in “old days” by going under the arched section close to the east shore, turn west between the old and new bridges, and turn back north to pass under the eastern waterway on the new 520 bridge that has the now Federally mandated 70’ clearance. There is plenty of room between the two structures and open space above. After months of trying to get information from WSDOT and the Coast Guard, somewhere between little and no information or help and certainly no guarantees, have been given. Interestingly, when the Coast Guard asked the WSDOT about the new temporary and lower height restriction, the WSDOT responded. The CG wrote back to me stating: “The Coast Guard would have been able to help in 2012 during the public comment period but received no comments from mariners.” In other words, because we mariners have not the foresight in the WSDOT construction plans and process and can’t predict future events, and now since the period of “discovery” is past, tough. I even contacted the contractor, and found that WSDOT wouldn’t allow the contractor to give any info out, except through WSDOT PR folks (who are just repeating the 58’ restriction statement). The Coast Guard’s official position is for all boaters to stay in the designated navigational channel. Boat Show Sale! Savings Storewide!

Once gone and once the waterway is opened, I believe that any boat that has previously been able to get under the old 520 bridge should be able to do so with this new route. The decision is yours. Neither WSDOT nor the Coast Guard recommend it. The reasoning behind their advice is that they are forced to lower their standards to the most stupid and unskilled. I chose to keep my boat on Lake Washington some time ago and I like it on the lake south of the 520 bridge. Do I have to move somewhere else, loose my moorage, then drive to Shilshole, Elliott Bay or Everett to see my boat? Dealing with the anxiety of what to do simply sucks, when in reality, maybe I really don’t have to move? Because I cannot give a definite answer, I will probably take the boat somewhere north of the bridge, then try to get it back home when the new waterway opens. I really don’t like the thought of being stuck on the lake until the summer of 2017. Doug Penny S/V Tatoosh Bellevue, WA 6303 Seaview Ave. NW • (206) 706-5500 www.ballardsails.com • [email protected] New Years Resolution We had to wait for the locks to open as we headed outbound, so we tied up to the wall at the small lock. When the gates opened and the green light came on at the small lock, we started our engines and began moving toward the open lock. As we departed the wall a fender was pinched between the starboard aft quarter and the wall and the fender pulled free. Admiral Patty immediately reported this to the flybridge of our 40’Albin trawler, but we quickly decided that if we were to try to retrieve the fender we would cause chaos if not a serious accident. We would have to forfeit a large valuable hole-through-the-middle dark blue fender. We moved a midship fender to the stern and proceeded into the small lock and tied up to the floating sidewall. Then, just as the gates were closing so we could go down, an extremely good samaritan ran panting toward the rail, pushed his way through the crowds at the rail, and called out “Dharma,”and, low and behold, tossed our beautiful blue fender to us. At this point a lock-mistress yelled, “Did you get off your boat?” But Mr. Good Samaritan was already fading back into the crowd and was gone even before we could say “Thank you.” Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that this incident occurred more than five years ago.

Seattle Boat Show organizers have once again decided to pay homage to the home team by ending the show one day early so that exhibitors, event staff and showgoers can watch the Seahawks bring home their second Vince Lombardi trophy with friends and family. The show will close at 8:00pm on Saturday, January 31. That still gives boating enthusiasts nine full days to visit the West Coast’s largest boat show, with two locations, at CenturyLink Field Event Center and South Lake Union. In further celebration of the team, Seattle Boat Show and BoatUS are giving one lucky boater a pair of 2015 Seahawks Season Tickets. Seahawks Season Tickets Guests attending the Seattle Boat Show will be eligible to enter to win TWO 2015 Seahawks Season Tickets with the option to purchase playoff tickets following the 2015 season. The winner will also have an option to be entered in the drawing for Super Bowl 50 tickets. One entry is allowed per guest per day. The winner will be announced on Saturday, January 31. There’s plenty more for 12s and boaters to see and do at the Seattle Boat Show. The show features 1,000 boats and yachts indoors and on the water, more than three acres of accessories, electronics and boating gear, 225 free seminars and advanced training classes for a fee. There are also many fun attractions including: Kids Zone There’s tons of fun for the little boaters too. Kids can enjoy time on the water using the Aqua Paddler boats, build a wooden toy boat with help from the Center for Wooden Boats and learn some fundamentals of boating while having fun with Plankton Races, Tug o’ War, the Rain Gutter Regatta and more. See www.seattleboatshow.com/kidszone for a schedule of activities. Boatless in Seattle – Free admission Monday – Thursday after 5:00pm Those who don’t own a boat but would like to learn more about how to get into boating shouldn’t let the ticket price get in the way of deciding whether to attend the show. They can simply show up any weeknight of the show after 5pm, announce that they are Boatless in Seattle and they will be admitted for free. Women’s Day - Monday, January 26 By downloading a special Women's Day pass, women can attend the show for free on January 26th and enjoy a slate of seminars designed specifically for women, by women boaters.

Competitors can sign up in advance for a spot or try their luck during Open Jousting times throughout the show. The champion will be crowned on SUPer Joust Saturday, January 31 and will win an adventure cruise for two in Mexico’s Sea of Cortés.

When you needed a new mainsail for your Racer cruiser you didn’t know where to start. What material, what cut and at what price? You shopped around and ultimately bought a mainsail from UK-Sailmakers NW. All up, the sail was a great value. The surprise was what came with the sail, a relationship with your sailmaker. Now, every time you trim that main, you notice a little smile. It turned out you bought more than just a sail. You found your sailmaker. So come by and meet your new sailmaker in either Anacortes or Sidney. Because at UK-Sailmakers NW when you buy a sail it is the beginning of our service, not the end. M Those who attended last February’s inaugural Winter Rendezvous in Poulsbo are still talking about the epic fun of a rendezvous in the depths of winter complete with snow, glogg, Viking hospitality and shenanigans with Chip Hanauer, The Boat Guy, and ringleader of the event. The 2015 event will have many of the same elements plus a number of new events sure to make Part Deux one for the record books as well. In order to not miss a Viking minute of fun, boaters should plan to arrive in Poulsbo on Friday afternoon for the hosted opening party (open only to registered guests). New for 2015 is free moorage for Friday and Saturday night, compliments of the Port of Poulsbo and the Seattle Boat Show. (Boaters must reserve with the Port of Poulsbo in advance and bring proof of registration to the rendezvous to qualify.) Another new addition to the weekend of fun is Saturday afternoon’s Libation Station at the Sons of Norway Hall, featuring Kitsap’s finest breweries, wineries, cider houses and distillers and live music. At least 12 breweries, two ciderhouses, two distilleries and multiple wineries are participating.

Are looking to meet others with the same intentions to share knowledge, plans, fears, and ideas? Have you been down the coast before and want to share your expertise? The BLTs (BigLeftTurners) is the group for you. The Puget Sound Cruising Club is forming the BLTs to create an informal group for southbound cruising sailors to share experience, enthusiasm, wisdom, and trepidation. This is a chance to meet others to discuss gear, crew, weather routing, timing, group purchases, buddy boating, insurance, charts, safety, provisioning, seasickness, and whatever else comes up. The BLT gatherings are an adjunct to PSCC’s monthly 3rd Friday meetings at North Seattle Community College, which feature a wide range of talks, either of a cruising focused technical nature or presentations by returned cruising sailors. So if you are making the BLT in 2015, come join the BLTs. Just drop us an email and we will let your know the place and time of the first get together. Membership in the PSCC is not required. There is no charge to join the BLTs. Email [email protected] for further information.

Gerry will be helping us help you. Look for Gerry at the Seattle Boats Afloat Show aboard one of our American Tugs. Gerry discovered his love of water in the late 60’s when, as a student at Western Washington U, he was working for a facility in the San Juan Islands whose only access was by water. Then, needing one PE credit to get his degree, he opted for a “canoeing and sailing” class. And the rest is history… Gerry has Raced and cruised all over North America. He lists four Vic-Maui Races, five Races from So Cal to Cabo and PV, Antigua Race Week, three Key West Race Weeks, and Marblehead to Halifax on his racing resume along with participating at least once in every Race run in the Northwest. His cruising log shows trips to Barkley Sound and the outside of Vancouver Island seven times, Desolation Sound and surrounding areas, and of course the San Juan and Gulf Islands. “One of my best experiences boating was helping to deliver an American Tug 34, which was headed to its new home in California, from La Conner to San Francisco in August of 2014.” He has owned boats from 16 feet to 40 feet, both power and sail.

The Harbor Marina LLC, dba Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard, is spearheaded by local resident Ronald Roark, the principal and managing member of the firm. Ron and his team will begin the daily operation of the marina and boatyard effective immediately. Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard began its life in 1905 as a fishing boat repair shop, known then as Skansie’s Ship Building Company. They grew to be the largest of its kind on Puget Sound and were integral in the development of the Washington State ferry boats. Today, Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard is a full service boatyard with marina, centrally located in the waterfront district of Gig Harbor, Washington. The marina includes 106 slips raging from 26’ to 50’ with both open and covered moorage, and is the only marina in Gig Harbor equipped with a full service haul out and repair facility. The Marina will continue to operate as a full service facility with additional focus on improvements to provide our customers a “first cabin” experience. Some of the immediate improvements will be upgrades to the marina restroom and shower facilities, higher quality Wi-Fi, repairs to the existing docks, new website, and security system. Long term planning and development of the marina and boatyard are underway and those plans will be released as they are finalized. We are committed to supporting Gig Harbor as a boater’s destination, and our goal is to fill the needs of yachting enthusiasts who enjoy all aspects of being on the water... whether motor boating, sailing, fishing, or just relaxing in a beautiful waterfront location.

The remnants of salt works dating to Roman times are still being found in the saltwater marshes along the Atlantic coast of France. Beach sand consists of grains of quartz and other minerals such as feldspar and olivine, derived from igneous rocks such as granite and basalt. Other beach-forming materials include shell fragments and skeletons of marine organisms. Sands are derived from diverse minerals and substances, and range in colors from tan, white, yellow, pink, purple, red, blue, green and black. Hawaii boasts green olivine sands of the Big Island, cinder-cone reds of Maui, and the jet black of Polulu Beach on the Big Island. Maritime Trivia By Bryan Henry Sand may contain shell or bone fragments, fish scales and other debris from marine animals. Viewed from a microscope, sands reveal many shapes: asterisks, boomerangs, spheres, stars, platelets. When wind passes over them, sands can produce numerous sounds. The percussive effect can produce dog-like barking noises and whining sounds. The 30,000 tiles on a space shuttle, called the Thermal Protection System, are made chiefly of sand.

Gold is the one metal that remains chemically unchanged regardless of where or how long it lies in the sea.

Herb Payson stands as one of the best. His story of voyaging with his wife and four teenaged children on board a less than ideal, but loveable wooden ketch, is destined to become one of the classic sailing sagas of our era. Now it is being reissued, the 35th Anniversary edition, with a foreword by Lin Pardey, a new epilogue by Herb entitled, “How Cruising on Sea Foam Changed our Family” and for the first time, with photographs to help readers picture the characters and places Herb describes.

This magnificent collection, drawn from seven centuries of maps held in the National Archives at Kew, looks at a variety of maps, from those found in 14th Century manuscripts, through early estate maps, to sea charts, maps used in military campaigns, and maps from treaties. The text explores who the mapmakers were, the purposes for which the maps were made, and what it tells us about the politics of the time.

The Marine 600 meets the needs of the family with a rowboat or the vessel with a large crew heading out to sea for days and weeks at a time. “Our Marine Series of innovative waterproof New DAYLube high performance grease uses nanoceramic particles which act as sub-microscopic ball bearings to provide continuous lubrication to steel surfaces found on trucks and trailers, including wheel bearings, ball hitches, and other trailer surfaces. Proven on the highways, this nanoceramic lubricating grease p ro v i d e s u n p a r a l l e l e d f r i c t i o n reduction and wear resistance, making it ideal for all types of trailers . Product News medical kits just got more comprehensive,” said F r a n k M e y e r, C h i e f Marketing Officer at Tender Corporation. “The Marine 600 is designed with a water and impact resistant hard case for added protection while on the water. O u r b ro a d r a n g e s o f k i t s a re b u i l t With a much lower coefficient of friction at all temperatures than traditional PTFE greases, chemically i n e r t D AY L u b e i s also environmentally friendly.

DAYLube operates in temperature ranges Thermacell Heated Insoles foot warmers make any cold weather a c t i v i t y m o re c o m f o r t a b l e a n d enjoyable. Their wireless, remotecontrolled design makes them easy to use. Simply place Heated Insoles inside footwear and activate heat with remote, then adjust heat or turn off with remote as desired. The durable, lightweight, soft cushion design provides additional shock absorption for all day comfort. They maintain a steady temperature inside your shoes or boots, keeping your feet around normal body temperature, as opposed to chemical foot-warming pads that get hot to the touch and can make your feet sweat. Powered Stronger, tougher and more secure than a bungee cord, Davis Instruments' MiniShockle is a bungee cord on steroids. Featuring UV-resistant nylon webbing sewn over marine-grade elastomer, the MiniShockle uses 316 stainless steel wire gate snaps that hold up to 300 lbs. That's ten times the capacity of most standard bungee cords. With a carabiner at each end, it can be clipped to a ring or eye-bolt, hooked over an edge, or clipped back around itself. Unlike a traditional bungee cord hook, the carabiner won't easily bend or come flying off, possibly causing injury. Unlike a strap that will gradually loosen over time, a MiniShockle will keep constant pressure on whatever needs to be held down. When boating, these shock cords can be used for multiple applications, including with sail ties, as coiled line keepers, as a power cord safety leash and for gas tank hold-down. Because the wire gate snaps are 316 stainless steel, they won't rust or corrode. MiniShockle comes in three sizes, 12", 18" and 24".

The fatigued sail that pushed and pulled us over thousands of sea miles now exists as a tarp. Ironically, for their sails Papuan sailors prefer tarp material – as in the cheap plastic, cover the woodpile, hardware store tarp. Fundamentally it’s the same as modern laminate sailcloth: a composite of strong synthetic fibers bound together within a layer of synthetic material. Their tarp sails are a monumental leap over traditional hand woven pandanus fiber sails. Closer to home, natural fiber sailcloth is woven only in old yarns and fading memories. Exotic materials and high tech processes are the way of sailcloth now. Sail related advertising is often so technically oriented that one wonders if most sailors have chemical engineering degrees. Big yachts with big flashy sails make for dazzling photos that prove carbon fibers and chemical wizardry make amazing sails. Great, right? But, just as astronauts must understand some of the magic that propels them into space, so to should cruising sailors understand the essence of sails that move them over the ocean. The perfect sailcloth is light as a feather, strong as steel, tough as linebacker and cheap as chips. It doesn’t exist. Before going geek on sailcloth, here’s a trivia question: the unit of measure for sailcloth is its weight in ounces, say for example, 8 ounce Dacron. What does 8 ounces refer to? Fibers and Yarns Fibers are the building blocks of sailcloth. Individual fibers have little strength or weight to speak of, but they’re flexible. Bundle fibers together to form a yarn, which is to a sail as a steel girder is to a bridge. Fiber types commonly used in sailcloth are so chosen because of specific properties: strength (tenacity), stretch characteristics (modulus of elasticity), shrink rate, UV resistance, and flex fatigue properties. A challenge to making yarns is getting all of the fibers to an equal tension. When fiber tensions differ, meaning fibers differ in length, shorter ones take more load than the longer In Papua New Guinea, the local sailor’s prefernce is actually for blue plastic tarp material, though they can only get it when someone passing through is willing to discard it. 28 February 2015 www.48North.com one. This is one form of “crimp,” that is, compromising strength and stretch integrity due to construction. Another form of crimp is the over-under of yarns in woven sailcloth. As sailcloth is pulled, the over-under yarns pull straighter, causing a change to sail shape. Poor quality yarns and weaving processes make for stretchy sails and thus inefficient generation of lift. Cloth Construction Sailcloth is made by either weaving yarns or chemically bonding them with a film layer (and combinations of taffetas and scrims), so-called laminate sailcloth. Each method results in different inherent properties, regardless of fiber type (Dacron, Kevlar, etc.). To help understand this point, we must look to the dynamics of sailcloth in action. Structurally, sails carry a lot of load depending on sail area, wind strength, relative angle, sail shape and trim, and hull type. These forces mostly follow predictable paths between the corners. Head to clew (leach) has the highest load in a sail. Sail designers orient the strongest yarns in cloth to run parallel to the highest loads. As load angles shift away from parallel to yarns, such as when flogging or with poor sail trim, there are no yarn “girders” so cloth is considerably weaker and stretchier. This is called bias load causing bias stretch. In getting back to woven and laminate differences, first consider sail panel geometry. Crosscut sails are simple enough: parallel panels running perpendicular to an imaginary straight line between head and clew. This orients the strong “fill” yarns (running across the panel) to the highest load from head to clew. “Warp” yarns (running the length of the panel) are generally weaker and with more over-under crimp than fill yarns. No fill or warp yarns run parallel to the luff or foot. These constructional strengths and weaknesses result in a strong leech and much bias loading elsewhere. For bias stability (stretch control), woven cloth relies on keeping yarns well locked together by weave tightness and plastic coatings that stiffen the yarns. They do really improve stretch characteristics, but weaving yarns tighter costs more, and plastic coatings make stiff sails that are harder to handle. Radial and molded sails solve the bias loading problems of crosscut sails. Radial sails use many triangular and trapezoidal panels to maintain load and yarn alignments. This results in panels that can be very long, so the strongest yarns in the cloth are in the warp direction. Molded sails use yarns laid onto a substrate layer representing large sections of a sail (or even the entire sail) by computer controlled machinery according to predetermined load paths. There is hardly a force within the sail that doesn’t have a yarn to prevent stretch; and where there is no yarn there can be layers of film, taffetas, and scrims. Does this clear benefit of nonwoven, radial laminate sails with no bias load and crimp stretch mean they are better than woven crosscut or radial sails? Yes, if you want lighter, stronger, and better shape. You get the feather and the steel, but toughness is more quarterback than linebacker; We Scan We Receive You Read!

The cost issue is in part because fiber and yarns tend to be exotic: Kevlar, Technora, Twaron, Vectran, and Carbon. It’s also because the panel geometry of radial sails wastes much cloth and molded sails require expensive machinery. Some even use autoclaves to bond composite layers together. As for toughness, the chemical bonds that bind yarns and films together continues to improve. Chemically bonded sails can include outer layers of polyester taffeta, a layer of very small yarns, loosely woven together that help protect the inner layers impact and UV damage. Still, woven cloth is yarn mechanically bound together and it’s tougher than chemical bonds that can degrade from flexing, impact damage, and even higher tropical temperature. Also, moisture wicked up by yarns into the lamination can cause mildew to grow. Biocides in the cloth prevent mildew growth for some years, but eventually will fail. Cruising laminate cloths are composites of polyester yarns, film and taffeta, and are particularly susceptible to this in the tropics. For every great benefit of super fibers or robotic construction method there is a compromise. Some cloth is all compromise – doing nothing very well. If lucky enough to think about buying new sails, there is much to finding the balance between cost, longevity, and performance driven by the materials and construction methods. It’s certainly more than techno-speak and pretty pictures. And it truly is a gift to live where you have options. Back at Ninigo atoll, there is no hardware store and no tarp sellers. Sailing canoes get new sails only when the wind carries someone along to Ninigo with a tarp to give. Answer to the trivia question: the measure refers to the weight for one sailmaker’s yard of the cloth. A sailmaker’s yard is 36” by 28-1/2”.

Located halfway between Tonga and the Cook Islands, the small island of Niue has led itself to being a nation all of their own, mainly due to its remoteness and cultural differences from its Polynesian neighbors. When approaching from sea, Niue looks flat with coral limestone cliffs t h a t re s e m b l e ‘ S w i s s cheese’. The island is approximately 45 miles in circumference around a central forested plateau and you’ll not find long white sandy beaches, but small secluded sandy coves nestled in-between turquoise grottoes that lead to a rugged fringing reef. Locals affectionately call Niue “The Rock” and welcome visitors to their small paradise. A weekly potluck is hosted by the Niue Yacht Club which meets at Niue Backpackers hostel and it’s a fun time mixing with locals, visitors and cruisers. At a recent potluck I was chatting with an interesting chap about his bee keeping. When I asked him numerous questions, Cory inquired why I was interested in bees and I explained that although I’d never kept bees I’d always held a fascination of them. He mentioned that they were currently having a working party at his apiary and asked if I’d like to help. On arrival at the Niue Honey Company I was kitted out in an oversized bee-keeping outfit and went to work with Cory and Matthew inspecting three hives that had recently been discovered in the forest. Cory bought the Niue 30 Helping Out with Niue Honey by Amanda Swan Neal Honey company 14 years ago and although it was established in 1960 the hives had long since been abandoned. His first job, with the help of locals, was to set about finding the 200 or so hives that were scattered about the islands forest and survey the health of the bees. The bees are Italian Yellow honey bees and fortunately there are no signs of European Foulbrood, Colony Collapse Disorder or Varroa and Tracheal mites nor has insecticides, antibiotics or antifungal agents been used. The bees gather from the wild flowers of coconut palms and other forest flora, including the medicinal shrub noni, creating a 100% pure, raw, natural amber liquid honey. Cory and his small team have increased the number of hives from 230 to 1,000 and currently produce 25 tons of honey annually. Bees are crucial to the reproduction and diversity of flowering plants. They pollinate more than 130 fruit, vegetable, and seed crops we rely on; that’s about one third of our diet. Cory views his mission at Niue Honey more than a money making venture; it’s a duty to help save the world’s honey bees. Working with the local community and in part helped by Niue’s isolation Cory is creating a stronghold of healthy honey bees. Along those lines Mark L. Winston’s new book, Bee Time: Lessons from the Hive, is a fascinating read while the 2010 documentary film, Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?, directed by Taggart Siegel, is eye opening. Sadly bee numbers are declining worldwide so here’s some ways you can help. • Stop using insecticides • Encourage the planting of bee-friendly plants and natural habit gardens • Create a water source in your yard for pollinators • Go organic • Support your local beekeepers. The workings of a bee hive frame. February 2015 www.48North.com I thoroughly enjoyed helping out on the hives and in exchange I was given some wonderful honey that inspired the following recipes.

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.

The diehard ones rarely seem to come ashore. For many sailing is a lifestyle. It is not too surprising that many couples meet or spend their time in the sailing community. Two sailors may come together through sailing itself, others might 32 February 2015 share their passion with their partner, or in some cases a couple learns to sail together. What all these couples have in common is the important role sailing has, and continues to have, in their lives and relationships. Whether on the water or on shore, these Pacific Northwest Sailor Couples are their own “crew of two.” www.48North.com Finding the Rhythm Within 14 Feet Haley Lane & Anthony Boscolo Status: Engaged First met: Four and a half years ago at a NW college sailing alumni regatta Boat(s): A 14’ Tasar, most recently named Cohete Azul. Haley and Anthony always have boxes of granola bars on hand. After years of youth, college, and now Tasar sailing, they understand the high stakes of hunger. Learning to anticipate low blood sugar and to avoid raising tempers likely contributed to the couple’s success racing Tasars. This includes a decisive victory at the 2013 Tasar World Championship, held in Cascade Locks, Oregon, the same venue where they first met. Both Haley and Anthony sailed for the University of Washington, but did not overlap. In the lead up to the annual alumni regatta, Haley’s regular skipper decided to stay on shore due to a concerning concussion. Haley still wanted to sail, and sail with someone good. Familiar with Anthony’s extensive sailing experience, she contacted him. He said, “No.” Anthony already planned to sail with his friend Zach, but that did not deter Haley. She found Zach a crew and took to the water with Anthony. They began dating later that year. Primarily competing in fleet and team race events, Haley and Anthony have sailed with a variety of other crews whether they are friends, strangers, or novices. Haley prefers sailing with her fiancé, “I like it better, I’m more comfortable.” She’s more likely to go sailing, especially in inclement weather, if it’s with Anthony. Plus, he’s prepared to address any hunger issues. Anthony agrees it’s different than sailing with others, “You’re hanging out with them before, during, and after the whole event.” If they get sick of each other or want to talk about the regatta, they don’t worry about holding back with one another. “I don’t mind offending Haley.” Anthony says smiling. Together they have learned how to have a working relationship during and after the regatta. This includes perfecting packing for weekend adventures like skiing and most recently traveling to Australia for the www.48North.com February 2015 2015 Tasar World Championships. Arriving in Western Australia just after Christmas, they saw Cohete Azul for the first time since loading the boat in a shipping container last October. Excited to find themselves back in summer and shaking off the sailing cobwebs, Haley and Anthony hit the water to defend their 2013 title. After five days of racing in a 123boat fleet, Haley and Anthony finished in 5th place, the second best finish for the five boats from Seattle. They both feel sailing together has been not only a shared interest but important for strengthening their relationship. Before traveling to Australia, Anthony observed, “The nature of attending a regatta, physically and emotionally is good to test the waters for a relationship.” Now as they unpack and restock the granola bars, their focus turns towards their September wedding, and the sailing they’ll be doing together in the future. 33 Dreaming, Living, and Marrying like Sailors Michele Rogalin Henderson & Jon Henderson Status: Married First met: Through the Corinthian Yacht Club years ago, dated for a year, married in July of 2014! Boat(s): Hunter 33, Beneteau 44, Ranger Minto, Laser, & models. Michele got back into sailing nine years ago she, and to say she dove into it with enthusiasm would be an understatement. Scaling up from the catamarans she raced in college, Michele began sailing keelboats, getting on board with any crew she could. She increasingly involved herself with the sailing community and the Corinthian Yacht Club where she met and occasionally sailed with Jon. A Seattle-native, Jon has logged innumerable hours on the Puget Sound in a variety of boats from Lasers and 505s, to Melges 24s and a local Farr 30. In addition to spending his free time sailing, Jon works at the North Sails loft, is the current CYC Race Fleet Captain, and has been living aboard for over twelve years. He is completely immersed. “Everything I do has something to do with sailing. Eating, breathing, and dreaming…” Jon explains. “Was I on the boat this time?” Michele asks teasingly. Whether he dreamed it this time or not, Michele and Jon are often together on one boat or another. Michele moved aboard about a year ago. She is also learning more about cruising from Jon. “I’m not trying to race the other cruisers as much anymore,” she jokes. Jon and Michele do keep things competitive, most often on a Melges 24 and Farr 30, but never with each other.

Along with the ceremonial knot tying their wedding included a model boat regatta and nautical references throughout the ceremony. Jon even sewed Michele’s wedding dress, the first time he’s sewn something besides a sail. He did incorporate a bit of spinnaker cloth in the front of her dress, completing the theme. After the wedding festivities wrapped up, Jon and Michele turned their energies towards the next step in their plan; a new boat to call home. They purchased a Beneteau 44 now named Ardea (latin for Great Blue Heron), after the naming ceremony held in January. Jon and Michele have big plans for the boat and their future; they are slated to begin sailing around the world in early 2016. Boat projects, research, and sailing in Seattle keep them very busy for now but there is one destination that drives them. Michele cannot contain her excitement; “I have wanted to go to the Galapagos most of my life.” For Valentine’s Day, Jon gave her charts of the Galapagos. For her birthday, it was a book about the biologically diverse islands, one of the world’s most beautiful places. Once they set sail, Jon and Michele aren’t sure when they will return, somewhere between two and twelve years. Along the way they want to check out new towns, new snacks (Jon), and cultures. In an effort to keep their traveling lifestyle sustainable they plan to turn Adrea into a floating B&B where guests can also learn to fish, scuba dive, and of course, sail. www.48North.com While Barry and Kathy’s first date went well, their first sail together didn’t go as smoothly. A member of the Seattle Sailing Club and longtime racer, Barry took Kathy out on one of SSC’s J/24s. Previously, Kathy had only sailed on a Sunfish, and never in March. Despite her willingness to go out, the Puget Sound decided to present a challenge. A short time into their sail, the breeze kicked up to nearly 20 knots. Overwhelmed, Kathy felt sure she would die. Barry, stayed calm and returned them safely to shore, but felt sure she would never go out with him again. They both thought wrong. Back on shore, a windblown Kathy declared she loved it. She’s learned more and more about sailing ever since. Barry gradually and patiently taught Kathy to sail on a variety of boats over the next few years. They tiptoed into it. He made sure she enjoyed sailing, had positive experiences, and above all felt safe, with a little less excitement than that first day. They spent a lot of time talking about what happened under way, why they adjusted the sails, and keeping a close eye on the wind. In addition to Barry’s patience Kathy recalls his other strategy, “He would sit sipping his beer and say, ‘Go ahead, Kath.” Over time, Kathy trimmed, steered, and stepped up to any task on the boat. Now they flip a coin each time to decide who will be the captain that day, taking the lead from beginning to end. Kathy finds it thrilling how nature powers you and allows you to interact with it through sailing. Barry appreciates that it can throw you for a loop, a new problem to solve each time. He rarely stops trimming the sails, a From Sailing Lessons to a Boat of Their Own Kathy Barnes & Barry Constant Status: Married First met: Six years ago on a blind date, married three years ago. Boat(s): Jeanneau 45, named Blue Oasis racer at heart, which his wife doesn’t hesitate to tease him about. After sailing nearly year round for several years Barry and Kathy started planning for a boat of their own. Following months of research, trips to boat shows, and a thorough analysis of what they wanted in a boat, Barry and Kathy bought a Jeanneau 45 Sun Odyssey in July. Her name is Blue Oasis. The boat has provided them with a lot of new discoveries and they’ve enjoyed customizing it. They’ve named one such discovery, “Big Red.” As Kathy and Barry found their groove with the new boat, they came across a red asymmetrical spinnaker below deck they had yet to use. Kathy found the very large, very red sail intimidating. She and Barry tackled it as they had everything else, with www.48North.com February 2015 patience, teamwork, and ready to be thrown for a loop. Now they hoist “Big Red” at every opportunity. Most of the time, Barry and Kathy go on day trips and short cruises sailing double-handed. After purchasing Blue Oasis, they told themselves they’d go out sailing in every month of the year. On January 1st, 2015, they set out with champagne and king crab to celebrate. Once, when they arrived to find several inches of snow on the boat, they swept it off and sailed anyway. Kathy and Barry would like to take Blue Oasis farther afield, beginning with a trip to Desolation Sound this year. Longer term, they hope to retire aboard and sail south through the Panama Canal to the Caribbean. When they go, they’ll be well practiced sailing together and embracing the journey. 35 multihulls one design offshore spec classic sails Crew of Four Beth & Mike Miller Status: Married First met: Eckerd College (FL), dated five years, married in 2005 Boat(s): Norseman 535 Rush Sails Your Northwest Neil Pryde Sails Agent Scott Rush 206-719-8436 [email protected] Local Service Global Reputation 36 Mike and Beth Miller made a significant investment in their first boat. The 39’ Yorktown did not cost them much money, only $1 in fact, but it demanded Mike and Beth’s time and dedication. The investment paid off. They sold it and bought a boat to enjoy. Where Mike and Beth spent many hours working on the Yorktown, they spent equally as many hours learning on their second boat, a Catalina 42. They didn’t hold back either. “We broke it and bashed it. The Catalina 42 was very forgiving,” Beth says. Mike grew up sailing in Seattle. After high school, he crewed on a schooner running charters in Nova Scotia and the BVI. The whole experience he says “set me off.” Mike flew south to Eckerd College where he and Beth lived in the same dorm. Beth grew up in Illinois along a river with boats all around and she water skied competitively in college. While in Florida Beth played around in Lasers. Despite her comfort with water, when it came to sailing their much bigger boat, she had more to learn. Mike recognized he might not be the best instructor for her or she the best student for him. Beth signed up for a course with Windworks Sailing. In 2008, Mike suggested they try living aboard, just for a few months. Beth agreed. After the initial trial she turned to Mike and said, “I bet we could raise kids on a boat.” In 2011 their son Logan was born and has lived on a boat his whole life. Beth felt more comfortable raising February 2015 www.48North.com a child aboard considering their neighbors. At least four families with young children live on their dock at Shilshole. It is a family-oriented community with bikes of all sizes and small sailing dinghies lining the slips. Beth’s parents live aboard at Shilshole as well, one dock away. They moved out from Chicago two years ago. Initially uncertain about Beth and Mike’s plans to live aboard, they ended up purchasing a 53-foot powerboat from the younger couple’s neighbor. Like many families, the Miller’s are impressively busy. Mike works full-time and continues to tackle boat projects. He and Beth divide up boat projects in their spare time; there is even a spreadsheet. Beth is in nursing school and works at Dockside Solutions, where her clients are cruisers around the world. Beth and Mike have their own plans to go cruising and each completed boat project is a step closer. Together, they care for their other two crewmembers: Logan, now three, and Ginger, a sweet 14-year old lab. Last summer the family spent eleven days cruising in the San Juan Islands. One day they found themselves surrounded by a pod of Orcas. “What did the Orcas do, Logan?” Beth asks. “They jumped for joy!” Logan says and demonstrates. Mike and Beth hope to kick off their own cruising adventure soon. In the meantime the whole crew is incredibly at home on their boat. Beth says, “I’m not sure I ever want to live on land again!” The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert Like a scene straight out of “Little Shop of Horrors,” the brilliant red and yellow flower unfolds, over 100 petals waving in the current, a strawberry red delight for a passing perch to nibble on. A young perch moves closer, then closer still, and suddenly receives a stunning jolt that renders it useless. Through the haze, the fish vaguely sees those beautiful petals reach out and pull it towards the flower’s center, where once a flat pad was, now a mouth opens. A delight it’s not, but a splendid seapredator whose tentacles first sting small fish, shrimp and even crabs, and then entirely consumes them in one slowmotion swallow. Fish go in tail first, and they can turn a crab around so claws are facing away before proceeding. It gets better. The fish-eating anemone can switch between being male and female, and may live to be 100plus years of age. Sure, they look like beautiful flowers and are related to coral and jellyfishes, but at 10 inches across, these hunters are some of the Salish Sea’s largest anemones. But, everyone has a softer side, and the fish-eating anemone may also play host to small fish, allowing six-inch painted greenlings a safe harbor. Leaving the protection of the anemone by day, at night the greenling sleeps without harm right over the anemone’s mouth on the central oral disc. The fish are safe here because anemones use their tentacles for defense against predators like sea stars or snails. Larry Eifert paints and writes about wild places.

If you do not want to repeat that experience, do not go on the internet after dark and google “gelcoat blisters.” If you do, you will find everything from, “boats should never have been built using polyester resin in the first place” to, “there is no such thing as ‘Osmosis’ on fiberglass (glass-reinforced plastic GRP) boats.” Well, we are not going to solve that particular mystery, as much as we would love to. We will talk about some repairs and steps that you can take to eliminate and help with some of this conundrum. On the bright side, we in the Pacific Northwest appear to have some things in our favor, mostly the cool temperature, since the permeability of a GRP hull depends on temperature. As it goes up, more water goes in. Also, from some accounts, there are boats in Europe that have fared worse than ours have. We saw a European-built boat with a hull that responded to hand pressure like a wet noodle. So, what can you do if you find bubbles at your next haul out, and when should you seek help? What do most experts agree on about blisters? First and foremost is that Fig. 1: Respirators are one of most important pieces of protective gear for boatyard jobs. “A” and “B” both protect you against particulate and organic vapors, but “B” requires additional eye protection. “C” gives poor protection against particulates and none against organic vapors. 38 GRP hulls are permeable, meaning that water will pass through and into them, and all GRP boats are not created equal. The physical and chemical composition varies wildly. These differences come from the use of different materials that include everything from costsaving additives, to make the resin go further, to fire inhibitors. Construction or layup practices can cause physical differences; most notable are the two extremes: hand layup vs chopper gun (discussed below). All the above combines with poor workmanship, human error, environmental anomalies, and the list goes on. This all contributes to variability in GRP hulls. For example, the chopper gun (kind of a spray gun used to apply both catalyzed resin and short sections of fiberglass roving into a mold) is considered to be a probable culprit. This piece of equipment is considered by many to be one of the sources of blisters because of imperfections, both physical (voids) and chemical (inconsistent mixing of catalyst and resin) that can be caused with it. It should be noted that, as we write this, there is a boat constructed in the early 70’s using only layers sprayed from the chopper gun, floating happily at her mooring one boat away from us. We say all of this to illustrate the difference between all the theories and the empirical data that exists. Let’s start with what you observe when your boat is still hanging in the slings. Blisters or bubbles tend to be most pronounced in that first 45 minutes to an hour after the boat leaves the water. The question is what do the bubbles signal? Are they superficial, or a sign of a bigger problem within? The simple answer is found through some tapping with a hammer; you are listening for the difference between a solid and a dull sound. You could gain some firsthand experience with this by hanging around the boatyard when a boat comes out for a survey; you will hear the rhythmic tap-tap-tap February 2015 www.48North.com Fig. 2: This shows a rotary tool and rounded bit you can use to create a depression in order to arrive to solid laminate. of the surveyor’s hammer. Bright, solid sounds are good; dull, dead sounds, not so much. The next step is exploratory surgery once the boat is on the hard. You will be opening up the bubbles and looking for a solid, even-colored structure below. Voids and whitish dry fibers that go deeper into the hull may require a professional eye, especially if you continue to encounter liquid. Another method used is a moisture meter, but this is likely to give more relative information from one place to another on your hull than an absolute reading of the percent of moisture present. Finding pancake-sized bubbles, versus pencil-eraser-sized ones will certainly have a different impact on how you feel, but it may not mean that much. The real worry is areas of delamination. If water or acids that come from water reacting with substances in the fiberglass layup start to unravel the structural integrity of the hull, there is a very different problem than just bubbles with defined borders. The focus here is to identify which of these two you are dealing with and what you can do about it. Also, it will change the approach you take if you see one or ten, or hundreds or thousands of bubbles. Thousands of bubbles would daunt the best of us. We are assuming you feel confident to tackle some level of work on your boat. Therefore, let’s look at a typical, limited scenario. Let’s say you find a number of superficial bubbles, but not so many that you and your crew feels overwhelmed. We are going to tackle the smaller nickel and dime sizedbubbles, but you can apply the same process to any size of bubble. (As long as they are superficial, you can also just deal with the bottom in sections over several years rather than all at once.) The boat is now sitting in the boat yard. Some or all of the bubbles may remain in evidence even if not at full inflation. Going over the bottom with 60 grit sandpaper should cause the bubbles to appear as the bottom paint will easily come off, leaving them naked to the eye. Before you sand the bottom or pop bubbles though, wash the bottom thoroughly so that you do not sand dirt, which could contaminate your work, into the boat bottom. Remember to protect your eyes from the acidic solution which may have formed in the bubble; protect your health from toxic dust by using a respirator, and, contain all paint dust and chips by tenting the boat. More on respirators- use full or half-face type with changeable cartridges, not the paper cup with an elastic string type (Figure 1). The cartridges for painting should protect against organic vapors, and there are particulate filter covers that snap over these for sanding and scrapping. Before going on, in the spirit of full disclosure, we would usually not mention brand names or specific products. In some cases, though, procedures and step-by-step explanations do not make sense unless we do. We will refer then to some specific brands and products. These will be ones that we have chosen for reasons that will be explained with the repair instructions. Everybody has their favorite products so we will give at least one alternative. Pop or sand off the bubble. You can use a screw driver, a chisel, an awl, or whatever will do the job. Wet the laminate inside the bubble. If it is a solid medium to dark color with no white, you should not have to go deeper, but, if there are uneven colors or voids, you will need to go deeper. What you want to eliminate are voids and unsaturated fibers that will allow water to collect. You want a smooth, homogeneous surface to start your repair. Often the area right behind the bubble can be removed with a round grinding tool giving you a domedshaped depression (Figure 2). Avoid any tool that will leave sharp edges like a countersink. Sand with 80 grit sandpaper around the depression to remove the hard edge, and to give some room around the hole for the barrier coat. This article does not differentiate between cored or solid A C B Fig. 3: This gelcoat blister repair went bad because “bondo” or some polyester filler was used. Note the ‘cute’, little crescent moons that appeared at “A” (bottom paint has been sanded), “B”, and “C” due to the filler shrinking.

When core material is involved, the focus will be on drying it out and then treat as described. Now, use an alcohol wipe or a clean, non-colored paper towel with alcohol to wipe out the hole. If your finger will not fit in the hole, use something soft and rounded. This method will contain the cleanup Seattle Boat Show, Concourse booth 2217 we know the waters Training. Experience.

Allow this to dry before you go on; you should be fine by the time you get the barrier coat mixed. We use Tuff Stuff High-Build Epoxy Primer (Sea Hawk) as the barrier coat. Apply three coats with a small brush so you can get an even coat. Each coat of Tuff Stuff needs to dry to tacky to be ready to accept the next coat. (You should be able to press your thumb into the primer and leave an impression, but nothing should come off on your skin.) This way you will not have to sand between coats. It is best to start this process early in the day so you can arrive to three coats of Tuff Stuff and one filling of Watertite Epoxy Filler. Do not use Fig. 4: “A” is 3 coats of Tuff Stuff Barrier Coat. “B” is the Watertite epoxy filler. “C” is 3 coats of Tuff Stuff over the completed repair ready for antifouling paint. Note that the 3 coats are done in alternating colors to insure good coverage. “D” denotes the GRP Hull. ‘bondo’ or any polyester filler as they are not waterproof and will shrink (Figure 3). You can heat inside the tenting or directly on the affected areas. A small electric heater or halogen work light will direct the heat. After the three coats of Tuff Stuff, fill the depression with Watertite Epoxy Filler (Interlux). This will not shrink, so overfill only a little to have something to sand into. Once it is dry, sand the epoxy flush with the hull surface using 100- 120 grit sand paper. Put three more coats of Tuff Stuff, in the same manner as above, perpendicular to one another on the Watertite and the surrounding area. The first coat of antifouling paint should be applied using the Tuff Stuff thumb imprint test for timing (Figure 4). Allow a minimum of 48 hours before moving blocking or stands and 72 hours total to cure before launch. One alternative to the above process is West System- Epoxy with #422 Barrier Coat Additive, (very good instructions online). The repair above is both cosmetic and preventative. There is a lot written about how water gets into a fiberglass hull. As we said above, one of the things that is agreed upon when it comes to polyester is that it is not impermeable. As it turns out, neither is epoxy by itself. Barrier coats depend typically on the addition of silicates as either part of the product (Tuff Stuff or Interprotect 2000e) or as an add-on (West System). So, if all this moisture is going into your hull, ever so slowly, why don’t all the GRP boats just sink? It would seem that the moisture travels all the way through and probably leaves the inside of the hull mostly as vapor. For this reason keeping your boat dry and well-ventilated can help to reduce the amount of moisture in the laminate. Dry bilges, keeping things away from the hull, opening lockers, and using heat or dehumidifiers combined with a good circulation of air all may be the next best thing after a good barrier coat in this ongoing fight to keep water out of your fiberglass hull. May all your bubbles be little ones. Happy haul out! Jack and Alex Wilken are experienced boat builders and have cruised extensively.

I love them so much that I started a company sharing this passion with others and specializing in maritime adventures. I enjoy running a business, especially one that involves sailing, but this also brings a lot of stress and can monopolize my time. After a busy year, I needed something, but wasn’t sure what. Over the past few months, I had heard the growing sirens call for adventure, an escape from the everyday. It had been several years since I had sailed across an ocean, and planning is a daunting task. In early fall, I received an unexpected phone call, from my good friend Bill. “The boat is almost ready! Everything is on schedule for our departure.” I was clueless, then it all came rushing back. He had been preparing to sail around the world, and I had promised to join him at the start of his adventure. The timing was prefect, this was the opportunity I needed, sailing the open ocean and exploring the Caribbean - my next adventure. Several months later, I found myself on a flight to New Bern, NC, a small town along a shallow river, days from the open ocean. Bill picked me up at the airport, and we headed directly to the boat, Kali, a 33’ Cape Dory. She is a beautiful full keel boat with solar panels, wind vane, dodger, and weather cloths, the makings of a fine cruiser. We just needed to provision and then untie, or so I thought. The next morning as we prepared, I realized there was more to do besides provisioning. We had to rig reef lines, commission the wind vane, replace the manual bilge pump, the list seemed endless. The boat should have been ready, and I was frustrated. If this wasn’t enough, there were storms heading our way, we had to wait for a new weather window. This was excruciating. I wanted my adventure to begin. It took about a week, but we finished the major projects and the weather window opened. Finally! As we cast off, we bid goodbye to friends and family, heading down the river towards blue water. It was sunny day with light winds, and it felt great to finally be underway. We kept a constant eye on the charts and our depth, as 15 ft is deep for this area. As the day slowly faded, we were starting to think about Life, a Little Adventure… By Geoff Gamsby dinner when it happened; a tell tale excited and worried. No matter how shudder, the boat came to a smooth but many times I have crossed an ocean, I get butterflies, and those are big quick stop. We had run aground. We set about trying to kedge to butterflies. Mother Nature is majestic deeper water before the wind blew us and relentless, powerful and tranquil; further into the muddy shallows.

The stresses of “everyday” life melt away, and the beauty of nature starts to shine. As the sun started to dip to the horizon; the sky transitioned through a beautiful kaleidoscope of colors and shapes; clouds turned hues of orange, red, purple, and faded into the serene seascape of night. As the light continued to fade, the stars started to appear; first one by one, then in the millions. The constellations painted the sky with stories. Orion, Ursa minor, Ursa Major, and countless more. When the shapes appear, I am always reminded of how sailors used to navigate, and why the stories of the sky were so important. While thinking about the constellations and the stories, my eyes drifted towards to the shapes in the water, a faint, glowing trail from the boat and crest of waves. It was the magical presence of the bioluminescence, phosphorescent plankton. This was the type of adventure I was seeking. We were enjoying days in this routine, riding on the wind, when I noticed a problem with the wind vane. The bolts had worked themselves loose. Bill gathered the tools and diligently tethered everything to ensure we wouldn’t lose them overboard. We re-aligned the wind vane and were tightening the bolts, when, “OH F***... (splash).” The one thing we couldn’t tether, the socket, popped of the wrench 42 and quickly sank out of sight. The wind vane was inoperable and we needed to remove its rudder. The problem? The release pin is below the waterline and out of our reach. We needed a solution. We brainstormed ideas and finally settled on rigging the boat hook with a carabiner and rope to pull the pin. It worked quite well, or at least it should have. The pin came out, but rudder wasn’t sliding off like we planned. It was stuck and wouldn’t budge. The boat became increasingly difficult to control as the auxiliary rudder swung from to side. Dread set in as we were more than 500 miles from any help. We needed time to think and heaving-to is great for that. As we were sitting in the cockpit struggling for new solutions, I glanced over my shoulder, and to our disbelief, the rudder was floating free behind the boat on its tether. Heaving-to slowed the boat, and the rocking of the waves worked the auxiliary rudder free. We can sail again! That was adventurous, though not quite what I had in mind. It was smooth sailing over the next several days. The conditions were steady at 25-30 knots winds with 8-10ft waves. Kali was surfing down the waves, hitting speeds of 8-9 knots, then wiping out at the bottom, only to stand up and do it again. It was a rush and I was loving every minute, so much so that I drove my shift, Bill’s shift, and my shift again! As Bill prepared for his evening shift, I noticed his anxious look. When I asked, he responded, “You are fighting to keep the boat steady, and it will wear me out.” He was right, the boat was overpowered. I was having too much fun surfing to notice. After reefing both jib and main, the boat was much easier to handle. We were still cruising at 7 knots, making good headway and ready for stronger wind. This was good because, as the sun set, we saw a storm on the horizon. After my long shift, I laid down, hoping to get some sleep before the storm hit us. I could tell the storm was quickly building. The wind howled through the rigging and I levitated above my bunk every time we crested a wave. It felt like trying to sleep inside a drum with the crashing of the ocean as the composer. At midnight, I woke for my shift, the winds were 35+kt and the waves were over 15ft. I dressed, searching through my soaking salt-crusted gear for the driest options. The storm was here, with pelting rain and lightning in the distance. I knew it was going to be a long night, but at least the fresh water washed some of the salt away. Every crashing wave sent Kali rocking back and forth, water flooded the cockpit, but she kept her keel under her. I started to settle into the rhythm of the storm, surfing down the waves and minimizing the onslaught of green water, when suddenly a piercing siren split the air. Bill bolted from his “sleep” with a look of terror on his face. It was the high water alarm. The boat was sinking! He frantically tore open the bilge, and it was full of water. The primary pump wasn’t working. We quickly switched to the manual bilge pump. To our relief the water slowly receded. It took over 30 minutes to get most of the water out of the bilge. We frantically searched the boat trying to find the When the storm hit, the boat handled like a champ until the high water alarm went off! February 2015 www.48North.com Sometimes, returning is its own adventure. source. It took us hours, but we finally found the culprit. Luckily it was a small leak, and wasn’t below the waterline. Leaky vents aft of the cockpit were scooping water with every wave. We quickly fixed the issue with a couple plastic bags. It’s a damn good thing we made sure the manual bilge worked and had a spare for primary. Nothing like a flooded boat in the middle of the night to make it feel like an adventure, I still wanted more. Our crossing was over 2,000 miles, with a variety of conditions, and stories to match every situation. Once we arrived in the Caribbean, our adventures were less about the boat and more about the people, exploring the islands, free diving with thousands of fish, scuba diving a 100-year-old wreck, and sharing local fare with new friends - memories I will cherish for a lifetime. It was everything I had in mind, but still I felt something missing. It was bittersweet when it came time to return home. It was an epic journey of beauty, joy, and exhilaration, punctuated by turmoil, fear, and despair. I was excited to return, but sad to leave. I waved goodbye to Bill and Kali, and hopped on a bus, a sole traveler in a sea of people, heading home. When I arrived home, it was a whirlwind, catching up with friends, sharing stories, picking up with the business. I was starting to fall into my old routines, the stress of running a business, and life in the city. The memories of my recent adventure were starting to fade. The more I got back into my life, the more I started to reminisce over the trip, wishing for the next one. I don’t want to be stuck in one place, with the same monotonous routine. One morning, I woke up, feeling the stress of the world weighing on me. Nothing ever goes exactly as planned, and arriving home is no different. I realized that my trip was over, but my adventure wasn’t. Adventures aren’t necessarily escapes, but can also be found in challenges and learning. The crossing was only a part of it. I was trying to define myself by something epic, but the defining adventures can be small or large - those decisions, the challenges and learning are still present. Instead of huge storms, they involve running a business, finding new clients, trying to find time to hang out with friends, going for a weekend sail, a hike, or to a concert. I guess the big ones help me see the everyday ones. With this shift in perspective, I have less stress and I smile a lot more. I also have more time to plan for my next big, epic trip. I love sharing my stories and passions with my friends and the world. I am living my adventure everyday. So, how about you?

The sea knows what you do wrong,” says Jake Beattie, “The most definitive arbiter of seamanship is the sea and the weather.” Self-reliance takes on new meaning in long expeditions across open water, especially to many seasoned sailors who have been cut adrift for a cause and have left their fate to the chance of wind, the toughness in their bones, and a favorable current. It is no wonder a race to the last wilderness on Earth would be the event to test such things. Beattie has challenged the world with a 750-mile motorless boat race through the Inside Passage from Port Townsend, Wash., to Ketchikan, Alaska. Waiting at the finish line is $10,000. Second place will receive a set of steak knives. The Race to Alaska (R2AK) is the first and longest human and wind powered adventure race of its kind and has the largest cash prize. Sails, ores, paddles -- blood and sweat -- are all accepted modes of movement within a gauntlet expedition laden with storms, razor rocks, floating trees, shipping lanes, bears and frigid temperatures. The Race to Alaska (R2AK) attracts a seasoned breed, indeed; characters are coming out of the woodwork for a chance to compete. Among these “seaticks,” there is a world record 44 holder for chin-ups, an Olympic oarsman, a hotdog eating champion and a Canadian kilt manufacturer. One brave racer plans to make his way to Alaska on a paddleboard. Jake Beattie, Executive Director of the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend, WA, is the mastermind behind the race. “We are trying to take a different approach to typical sailboat racing and strip away as much of the rules as possible. We want racers to be on the water in a simple and adventurous way… We were looking for something that is a wide open event that puts the most control in the racer’s hands as possible and move the race away from being like America’s Cup -- which is about who has the most money -- and focus on the naturalness of being on the water and the human toil it takes to journey in this way.” The race is set to start at 8 a.m. June 4, 2015 in Port Townsend Bay. There are two phases to the race. Phase one is from Port Townsend to Victoria, British Columbia. Racers that make it across the 40-mile stretch of open water in the Straight of Juan De Fuca are qualified to continue with phase two of the race. The first portion of the race is designed to be a single race of its own and participants that have no intention of February 2015 www.48North.com going on to Alaska are invited to test their skills. “The first part of the race acts as a kind of filter because you have to make it to Victoria to go on, and it should single out a few teams that fall out due to gear failure or whatever comes up. There are always a few kinks in the first few days of the voyage that sometimes make you reconsider the whole thing.” With the stopover in Victoria, Beattie eliminated the Canadian “customs” portion of the race so that everyone has a fair shot and won’t lose time going through security. After going through customs, racers will start the second phase at noon on June 7. There are no safety check-in points along the way, but racers will have electronic tracking devices so viewers can monitor their progress. Racers can choose their own routes, but they must pass through two waypoints to qualify: Seymour Narrows and Bella Bella. When the first racer reaches the finish line, a sweep boat will leave Port Townsend and follow the course, checking up on stragglers en route to Ketchikan. Racers will have the choice of getting in the sweeper or finishing the race. “It’s a chance for people to think about being on the water in ways they haven’t thought of before while also considered would apply to race including a standup paddleboard and a modified kite board. One aspect still remains up in the air: Race organizers still need a sweeper boat. Beattie is looking for one or two captains with boats at least 32 feet long that would like to volunteer service as the sweeper. Volunteers are asked to call Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend. The route takes participants through the Inside Passage for over 750 unsupported miles, with only two required waypoints between Victoria, BC and Ketchican, AK. building awareness of our nautical heritage.” So far, Beattie reports there are 15 teams registered and applications are coming in every day and from as far as Europe. Watercrafts range from row/ sail combination crafts to pure sailboats, as well as multi-hull, and Polynesian style sailboats. There are also some racers with watercrafts Beattie never thin rope. The rudders have Polynesian figure eight lashings that are reinforced with epoxy. The team was resourceful in building materials; they cut a sixinch diameter aluminum mast from another sailboat to use as the beams that connects the two hulls. The sail is a heavy-duty poly tarpaulin. The boat weights about 300 pounds. They call her Manu-o-ku: the White Tern that helps Polynesian navigators realize they are close to an island. The biggest challenge in the actual boat design was space for storage and building an enclosed area to sleep. They realized the space between the bulkheads was large enough for someone to sleep, so they doctored the Wharram design to accommodate storage and sleeping quarters in the two hulls. They put hatches on top of the hulls and opened up the bulkheads so they can stretch out, tailoring the space to match their sleeping positions (Nielsen sleeps on his side). The most absurd aspect of the boat is that since it’s lashed together, it deconstructs easily. That’s right, no trailer for the Manu-o-ku. For their test launch, Veirs and Nielsen packed the entire thing on top of a 4Runner. They said the sail is the most cumbersome thing to move. “I think we probably could have gone a little smaller for the beams but these boats aren’t fun when the beams separate from the hull. We don’t want a beam to fail, so that’s one part of the boat that’s overbuilt.” Faces of the race Seattleites, Thomas Nielsen and Scott Veirs, have decided to plunge into the wilderness of the unknown and race the straits into the Alaskan heart of darkness. Their name, the Sea Runners, is inspired by Ivan Doig’s story, The Sea Runners, that depicts a time when sheer force and man power was essential for survival. Both men have years of sailing experience and have each had extended sailing trips of six weeks or more. They first thought a Beach Cat style Hobie 16 would suite their needs, but after a day of sailing on Lake Washington they changed their minds. “We pictured ten days of sailing in open water and realized we would be too wet and too uncomfortable. Plus, where would we sleep or put our food? We decided we needed to have at least some shelter, ”said Veirs. The two needed a boat that equally matched their vision, and decided to build their own boat: a 17foot James Wharram designed (Hitia 17) Polynesian catamaran. The two have been longtime fans of the Wharram designs and have both built boats of that style in the past. The design has a bi-pod mast and uses light materials such as bamboo for the tillers and spars. Sticking with true Polynesia tradition, the boat is lashed Sea Runners, Thomas Nielsen and Scott Veirs (left), practicing a together with no wind situation on their boat, “Manu-o-ku,” in Veirs’ backyard. www.48North.com February 2015 45 They have tested Manu-o-ku on Lake Washington using a seven square meter sail in winds blowing 20 to 25 knots, and Veirs said the vessel went about nine knots. The Sea Runners are planning on having a sail twice that size for the race, depending on tests done before then. The team has made provisions for an extensive list of “Manu-o-ku” weighs less than 300 pounds and is 17-feet circumstances and long. The Sea Runners can transport the entire vessel by issues that might taking it apart and packing it on a 4Runner. happen during the The Sea Runners built the boat in race. For navigation, the team plans less than a month (250 hours) and for to use an iPod app and bring along Canadian charts that will be glued to under $2000. “We wanted to get through the the undersides of the hull hatches. In building phase fast so we could start addition, the team will need to pack testing and make sure this is the design mandatory items such as a SPOT we want. Thomas is an architect and tracker, VHF radio, sound signal, project manager, so that really helped, navigation lights and ans approved and he really cracked the whipped and PFD for everyone on board. For food, they have opted to for a liquid diet: put in the long hours.” olive oil. The substance is rich in calories and easy to consume. When they are sick of the oil they plan to cook high calorie meals using a Jetboil stove attached to a metal beam via magnet. Gnats are another issue. June in the North Country is seething with gnats so the crew plans on installing netting in the hull air vents and using head nets. Manu-o-ku has been sitting in Veirs’ backyard since December, and the Sea Runners have been practicing cooking on the boat and sleeping in the hulls. “This is a big opportunity for us to explore one of the most exciting parts of the sail cruising world and to just get a lot further and challenge ourselves in a way that we can’t normally do with our family. It’s a chance to do some serious sailing and push our limits. For us old guys, that is still something attractive – to see if we can muscle up a little bit and do something hard.” Their strategy, of course, hinges on weather and current speed. They plan to have one of them sleep, eat or navigate while the other mans the ship in two to four hour shifts.

Seattleites, Joe Bersch and Dalton Bergan, are the sailors on the team and have been sailing their entire lives. Bersch has a background in commercial fishing and started sailing when he was five. Bergan has trained for the Olympic sailing team and for a Volvo International Racing team, and is a familiar face on racing podiums around the Pacific Northwest. Like the Sea Runners, the team is inspired by the room for ingenuity and the sense of adventure inherent in the race. “I’ve done a lot of racing in my life, but I’m looking for something out of the box. It’s good to get some racing that’s not just around buoys,” said Bergan. “I think the inspiration comes from the unique design of the race. The no rules -- but a couple very important rules -- make an open ended challenge on what kind of boat you are in, the provisions you take, and the nautical challenges of race.

The team has decided to construct a boat specifically made for this adventure race to Alaska. They chose a Paul Bieker designed Bieker Proa 24. At 24 feet, the boat should weigh less than 500 pounds and be very fast upwind. Bersch and Bergan plan to switch off through the race allowing one to sleep or navigate while the other sails, so they’ll basically be single-handing. They also plan to not pack all their provisions and make stops along the way, keeping their expedition weight low. Both sailors have only had minimal experience sailing beyond Vancouver Island and will be depending on their team off the Proa for navigation. Two time Olympic sailing medal winner, Jonathan McKee will be among the advisors helping the team along with Paul Bieker, boat designer, and Erden Eruc, world record holder for first man to circumvent the world by bike and rowboat. For manpower, the team has devised a pedal driven, 14-inch, two blade, carbon fiber propeller. Still, their main source for propulsion is the wind. “I think there is no question a sail vessel has an advantage over a row powered vessel for this race. There are certainly times when a row vessel will be better, but that will be a very small window. Anytime there is a breeze it will make it hard for paddles. In calm situations we may need to pedal 24 hours a day, but we feel good about the pedal driven unit. That being said, we have no intention of pedaling all the way to Ketchikan,” said Bersch. Bergan anticipates the row/sail combination boats and man powered boats will initially have a leg up over the sail boats early in the race, but further north when the waters open up the sails will prevail. “I expect some good wind later in the race, and it will probably get stormier and windy -- a little tricky after Bella Bella. At some point it gets pretty scary up north in the storms if it gets to 40 to 50 knots. A big challenge will be knowing when to be conservative and when to push it,” said Bergan. The team hopes to discover all these racing aspects in time, but they are facing their biggest challenge before the race even starts: financing the boat. Renowned and respected boat builder, Russell Brown, owner of Port Townsend WaterCraft, is building the Proa 24 in Port Townsend. So far the hull is nearly completed but the team is looking for sponsorship to finish the job and finance the race. Bersch said that with sails, running boards, rigging, and navigational equipment the cost of the Proa is over $30,000. “It’s classic meets high-tech. … Essentially the boat was designed for this race. They are lightweight and sail close to the wind,” said Bersch. If they do find sponsorship the team plans to race to benefit two charities, SeaShare and Blue H2O. “I think the first enormous challenge is getting to the starting line. In our minds we are fully committed to do the race. Financially we are still focused on obtaining sponsorship for the cost of participation and to finish the boat. If that doesn’t happen we will have to pull the plug,” said Bersch. Shane Harms lives in Seattle, WA. He is the lead reporter and web editor for the Ballard News-Tibune. We’re not just a marina.

Maybe you’ve been subscribing for years. You’re reading articles about boats. You’re admiring photos of exotic places: the Caribbean, the South Pacific, the Med, the Inside Passage…the middle of an ocean. There’s the latest equipment, local knowledge and skills. But what’s this article about? There’s nothing to buy here. There are no photos. It’s not the kind that most magazines will print. If going cruising is your dream, you’ve likely imagined the logistics to make it come true. Maybe you’ll rent your home out while you cruise, or sell it like I did. Find storage for your “stuff.” And you’ll have to find a boat. Having spent my career in the industry, I may have been a little ahead at that. When I saw the right boat, I knew it. Even if you have similar luck, note that I then spent 10 months and half her price getting her the way I wanted before taking off. During this time my company went bankrupt. So I took my cue. October already felt late for heading south from Seattle. By the standards of lifetime cruisers, my sailing has been kid’s stuff. While I’ve sailed most of my life, I’ve only managed a few extended passages. One month into what would become a 13-month voyage, I called a friend in tears. “I’m doing exactly what I’ve wanted all my life to do… and I’m not happy. What’s wrong with me?” He answered that there usually is a difference between a dream and its reality. Okay, I was no longer the young man who had dreamed of this, my life had long since changed. Didn’t I know that already? Another friend, who had cruised for years, told me to relax. The 50 changes that led me to the horizon were huge. He told me to give myself time to adjust, and to not feel trapped. I could turn around anytime and be glad for what I had tasted. Constantly “taking my pulse” to see if I was happy wasn’t going to help. I had worked hard on the boat. But what work had I done on myself? Hadn’t I heard that the singlehanded ocean racers attend seminars on the challenges that lay ahead psychologically and emotionally as well as nautically and physically? The further I went, the more I understood the saying, “Wherever you go, there you are.” As much as I discovered new places, met dear people, butchered a new language, the unknowns I sought “out there” were matched by the unknowns “inside” of me. Sometimes I had to ask, “what the hell am I doing out here?’” Leaving behind home, family and friends; risking seasickness, safety, sleep deprivation and loneliness…for what? When I was a child we had one little black and white TV and we were limited to watching one hour per day. No, we couldn’t skip one day to have two hours the next, but there were a few exceptions to this rule. One exception was the occasional National Geographic Special (they didn’t have their own channel back then). I remember the whole family watching Jacques Cousteau and the good ship Calypso, a rafting trip down the Grand Canyon, and seeing Machu Pichu. I was the only kid I knew who got depressed by these specials, because I wasn’t in them. Instead? Well, at least I was on the Gulf coast of Florida growing up around boats. February 2015 www.48North.com This scenario gave a powerful subliminal message: that adventure and exploration are admirable, worthwhile and exceptional. Discovery appeared heroic. The horizon might even provide a communion with life itself and the universe… What I am describing here is part of MY interior landscape (or seascape, as the case may be). My guess is that while our details are unique to each of us, our interior spaces have a surprising lot in common. What created the impressions inside of you, and what ripples go out from there to drive the rest of your life? If your ‘self’ will be the one thing you meet everywhere you go, maybe it makes sense to pay at least as much attention to that self as to your other logistics. Circumstances seemed to conspire to let this dream out of me. Once it became possible to head for the horizon…I HAD to do it. Facing this necessity, I had to accept its costs. They, like any benefits, were simply among the unknowns I sought. I wasn’t getting any younger. If I waited to go until I got everything “dialed in”… I really would never leave. At some point I had to give up trying to shape what was to come and accept being shaped by it. Who knew when or how this window of opportunity would close? The alternative was to regret not going when I could have and to wonder if I really could have pulled it off. The only way to find out was to go, to let nothing stop me, not even my own doubts. No one likes regrets... Finally, I went. If my sanity was saved…it was by keeping a blog. Blogging was my way of keeping in touch with my community. I described for them where I was, how the last leg had gone, and what I was experiencing. These entries bled over from sights and sounds into thoughts and feelings. Why was I away from the people I loved? And so alone? What was I looking for? A belonging? A trust? Some questions are too big to answer, deservedly so. Was I having fun? Communing with porpoise. Awed by stars. Skinny dipping in the middle of an ocean. Dialoguing with winds and waves. Yes. But, sailing provides a strange version of romance. One based in an indifferent reality. There were hard parts too. And life, by remaining a mystery, draws us on. Blogging, I covered pages and pages about attention and intention, the delicate and powerful, the fleeting and enduring, about a balance between living life and giving into it; about the quantity of decisions ashore versus their quality offshore (where there are fewer and they are more important to you); about sailors in little boats on infinite seas; about getting drunk back ashore…with relief or with longing to go back to sea? Usually by the time I got back to internet access, I had pared those pages down to something The horizon might even provide a communion with life itself and the universe. coherent. From my friends’ comments I realized that the internal territory I shared was at least as meaningful as the photos I sent. I found some perspective there… and so did they. The blog became more and more important to me. Wrapping it up proved bittersweet. What have I learned that might serve you? Some of us meet life and are met by it anywhere, anytime. Others of us go climbing, or to the symphony, or sailing. Whether your dream is marriage, parenting, home ownership, a career or travel, realize that its reality will be different from what you envision. If fulfilling a dream isn’t about what you envision, what is it about? A friend wrote “it’s about opening your arms to life and saying ‘show me what you’ve got!’” I have to add that it’s about showing life what you’ve got. After all, the best relationships are mutual and intimate. It’s about not only finding yourself worthy of life… but life worthy of you. I know that sounds arrogant, but I also know of no more instructive classroom in humility than that offered on the ocean. Whatever I learn, I offer it to you with a great deal of gratitude. And THAT may have been what I was looking for. Fulfillment itself turns out to be about something deeper than happiness...maybe even deeper than the sea.

The Seattle University student, and member of the "American Youth Sailing Force" is a sought after crew on small boats and big sleds alike. If you talk to Evan, you're sure to learn that he LOVES the International 14. He gives us this report after spending much of January in Geelong, Australia for the I-14 Worlds, representing the PNW! 54 The last three weeks for me were spent blasting around Corio Bay in Geelong, Australia on the wire of USA 1187, an International 14, getting dragged downwind with a unlimited size spinnaker and kept waterborne, not airborne, by the hydrofoil on the rudder. The Royal Geelong Yacht Club held the 2015 International 14 Worlds from January 3-17, the showcase event for the most advanced two man racing February 2015 www.48North.com dinghy out there. The 14 is the oldest ISAF-recognized dinghy class, with a hundred plus years of tradition and development. The open development of this class is first evident in the boat park, as people wet-sand seven-foot daggerboards and gently handle carbon fiber rigging. On the water, the speeds upwind and downwind also impress. In breeze, we push twelve knots upwind and blast downwind at twenty plus around a grueling twentyfive mile racetrack. The 14 Worlds begins with two days of team racing, which historically was the format of the championships. For most of us on the four boats of Team North America, we have never team raced, much less on a skiff. Teams turned out to be a blast, with dial downs prestart and boats in 1st place circling back to attack both upwind and downwind. The best part of teams, however, is the Awards Ceremony. Everyone feigns civility for a few hours for dinner and the trophy ceremony, then it’s game on. Each year after awards, as is tradition, each fourboat team must present a skit or game - always involving heavy drinking.

Team Japan did not have enough boats for team racing, so the legendary Jungle Fire would have to wait for the final night of Individual Worlds. Once the hangover from Teams night wore off, the real business started. Individual Worlds is a one race per day format, with two reaching legs and a course length over 25 miles. Over the seven days of racing, we saw breeze from every single direction; from 10 knots to 35 knots, all kinds of weather, flat water, steep chop, days with so many jellyfish you could walk on them, and days with seaweed covering the foils. Corio Bay was an exceptional race course simply because it was so challenging, as well as the frequent glamour days of fast sailing there.

The International 14 goes as fast as a TP52 around the course, contains more controls on the rig, sails, and foils, and must all be done with two people, not 15. One day on a 14 will teach most sailors more about sailing well than any other boat, even if you spend the day upside down. The British and Looking down the results at the end of the regatta, the first American team, Terry and I, sit in 23rd. We put an entire year of training in, practicing or racing at least once a month on a topnotch Kris Henderson built Bieker 6. I am not disappointed in our result, I am stoked to see how far we can raise the level of the 14 fleet in the US at the next Worlds. This brings me to the main message in this article. Skiff sailing, and in general, fast boat sailing in America is drowning. Fewer and fewer kids are growing up to sail fast, technical boats like the International 14, and there is only one sailing program in the US that provides skiffs for kids to learn. Instead, too much importance is being put on keelboats and college sailing. Australian 14 fleets dominated because they sail every weekend with ten or more other 14’s. This raises the bar for everyone in the fleet, and is what we need to see in the US. In short, I think a paradigm shift needs to occur in American sailing. A focus sailing on fast boats, like the 29er, the 14 Footers, the 18 Footers, and the 49er and doing well on the international stage in these boats, needs to take over America’s current obsession with professional keelboat racing, match racing, and college sailing. What can be better than hanging from the trapeze puck of a 14 at twenty knots as ten other 14’s come screaming into a leeward mark?

Made completely of carbon and with a lifting keel, she is a dual purpose cruiser/ 2001 • $695,000 racer. Since her purchase in 2008, Icon has taken her owner and family on trips throughout the Pacific NW and beyond, including three Vancouver Island circumnavigations and trips to Astoria, San Francisco and Hawaii.
