1 Welcome! THANK YOU for taking a free copy of the Friendship Sloop Society’s annual Yearbook and Guide. We hope you find the articles and photographs of interest and kindly ask you to support our generous advertisers who enable us to bring this special publication to you. This is the story of a family of boats and how they weathered more than a century of change and why they still have a passionate following today. Each year a regatta sponsored by the Society is held in July in Maine. Check out the schedule of events inside, along with other classic boat races, regattas and rendezvous throughout New England. We encourage you to join us at www.fss.org. The Friendship Sloop was developed around 1880 for fishing and lobstering in Muscongus Bay on the Maine coast and has survived as one of only a few regional types now recognized as an American sailing classic. It is certain some of these fishermen had seen a Gloucester fishing boat and, being impressed with their lines, incorporated some of those features into their own hull designs. The basic form was scaled up or down depending on length (averaging 21’- 38’) and followed a pre-set formula. All had an elliptical or counter stern; most of them a clipper bow; long bowsprit; and all were gaff rigged. The cutter-rig sail plan was both distinctive and functional for the tending of traps and lines while underway, one of this boat’s most special attributes. By the late 19th century, small boat shops dotted the coastline of Maine, and each builder had some little ‘secret innovation’ that made his vessel the best. Many names are remembered as builders of these sloops: Carters, McLains, Collomores, Winchenbachs, Stanleys and others, but Wilbur Morse’s name comes up as “the father of the Friendship Sloop” because of the large number that he produced in his shop in Friendship and whereby the sloop gradually acquired its name. Sadly, the advent of motors and modern equipment around 1915 almost relegated this beautiful craft to extinction, but her fine lines, seaworthiness and her great record have now added “yachting” to her long list of able uses. In modern times, Bernard MacKenzie of Scituate, Massachusetts sailed his beautiful Voyager in a Boston Power Squadron race in 1960 and won the race against a much stronger competition of Bermudian rigs with large spinnakers and genoas. This inspired him to have a Homecoming Race in Friendship Harbor in 1961 and this year is our 62nd anniversary! The Friendship Sloop Society is a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of Maine in 1961. The purpose of the Society is to encourage the building and sailing of Friendship Sloops and to provide a forum for owners and friends to meet and enjoy one another around a common interest. Sloops registered with the society total 285 with the oldest wood original from 1899 still sailing, to the ‘newer’ fleet of fiberglass models developed by Jarvis Newman in the 1970’s.

2 Commodore’s Message The Friendship Sloop derives its name from the town of Friendship, ME where the design was originated in the late nineteenth century. Hundreds of these sturdy boats were built for commercial fishing and lobstering. By the 1920s the advent of powerboats requiring less skill and effort of the fishermen had replaced the sloops in the industry. At the same time, the pleasing appearance and rewarding performance of the sloops under sail attracted the attention of many yachtsmen. Many older sloops were refitted and new ones built to satisfy the demand for recreational boats. By 1961 Friendship Sloops had become popular enough for fourteen boats to gather in Muscongus Bay for the first Friendship Sloop regatta. In spite of the overly impassioned competition in the races, friendships were formed, and the tradition has continued for 62 years. Over the years the Friendship Sloop Society (FSS) has grown with new members, more boats being registered, and extended family participation. At the annual regatta in Rockland, ME up to four generations of families may be seen competing on several different sloops! We feel the FSS has become an extended “family of friends.” Please come to our Homecoming Regatta in Rockland, Maine on July 20, 21 & 22 to see our beautiful, traditional sloops. Join us under the tent, ask questions about our boats and enjoy the friendship of our organization!

8 We Dedicate this 62nd Yearbook to two Past Presidents – Both Long Time Members It is often easy to overlook members of the Society – or of any organization – where long-time membership and many contributions have occurred. This year, there will be one less such occurrence, as we dedicate our yearbook to Bill and Caroline Zuber. Keepers of the flame regarding one of the oldest sloops within the Society, the ever- popular Gladiator, of 1902. Since they acquired her back in 1967, the Zubers have rigorously maintained and handily sailed Gladiator all these years until 2022 when their son Andy, our current Vice-Commodore, took the helm. It was back in 1982 when Bill and Andy began what turned out to be a five-year total rebuild that brought the Gladiator back into the pristine condition, we all enjoy of her today. But this isn’t about the Gladiator as much as it is to Bill and Caroline Zuber, who as a reward for completing the rebuild of Gladiator in 1987, were given command of the Friendship Sloop Society as Commodores during 1987-88. For many years following their “watch” as commodores of the Society, Bill and Caroline have kept their vigilant eyes on the Sloop Society’s input into the Friendship Museum and done much to equally insure its stability and success. With both Bill and Caroline now having entered retirement, we cannot let this edition of our yearbook go to press without dedicating it to Bill and Caroline Zuber.

9 Respectfully, the Gentlemen didn’t do it all! By Penny Richards When you think about the Friendship Sloop Society, by habit you think of the men who made it great. Bernie MacKenzie, Roger Duncan, Jarvis Newman, and Bill Pendleton from the older days. The Cronins (Jack, Jeff, and Wayne in particular), the late Ralph Stanley, John Wojcik, and Rich Langton in these more recent years. But what about the Women of the Society? Do they come to mind as freely? Let’s set the stage. Bernie MacKenzie was a naval architect from Massachusetts who owned the sloop Voyager. He had an idea – why not have a reunion of as many sloops as he could find, and gather in the town where so many of the sloops had been built? The little town of Friendship, Maine. Bernie had friends in influential places who got behind the idea of a sloop reunion. The publisher of the Boston Globe ran a story inviting sloop owners to gather in Friendship in August 1961. The president of IBM offered his yacht as a committee boat. Fourteen sloops showed up. Enter Betty Roberts. She and her husband Al were instrumental in bringing the sloops to Friendship and the activities ran from their wharf on the harbor. It was all much to the chagrin of many in town who loved seeing the sloops but didn’t want their lives disrupted by a group of sailors spoiling their harbor and their lobstering livelihoods. To their disappointment, the Friendship Sloop Society came into being in the fall of that year and the boats returned every July for the next 25 years. “In the beginning, Betty Roberts was everything about the Society and everyone realized that,” Caroline Zuber told me. “They called her Queen Elizabeth.” Betty was the Society’s first Secretary. She did it all and without a mini fleet of sub- committees. She organized mailings and planned for whatever the captains and their crews needed. If it happened, Betty had her hand on the process. If it didn’t happen, Betty figured how to make it work. There were others in the town that saw what the new Society could do for the town. Connie Pratt and her husband Albert were important partners in starting the Scholarship Fund, which to date has awarded many thousands of dollars to local students.

10 Caroline also mentioned Margaret Gagnon, who grew up in Friendship and still lives in her childhood home. She has worked tirelessly to record and preserve the history of the town. And Caroline herself was integral to the Society’s growth. She and her husband bought their sloop Gladiator in their native New Jersey. They moved the sloop and the family to Friendship after many long conversations with Betty about the town and the Society. Caroline worked around her career and growing family to lend her time and talents to Betty to help the Society grow. Caroline served as the Secretary beginning in 1980. “Sloop Days” in Friendship became a bigger event than the little town could manage. For those who came to Friendship by water, there wasn’t anything within walking distance to get supplies and provisions. Latrines were the only source of a comfort station. There were no distractions for youngsters or those with an interest in an alternative to watching the sun go down from the cockpit. Gradually it became too big an evert for the little town and it moved to Boothbay Harbor and then on to Rockland. Other than the Lobster Festival in Rockland, there was little in those early days by way of community celebrations. Many women helped keep the Society on this new course. Mary Cronin of the Tannis became the Society’s Secretary. Her daughters say that Mary’s meticulous notes in her well-practiced shorthand are still among the family archives. Mary couldn’t swim a stroke and didn’t care for racing, but every year she CAPT. G. W. FULL MARINE SURVEYORS & CONSULTANTS Surveyors of Wood and Fiberglass Wood is our Specialty Capt. Paul C.

11 packed her husband, their eight children, food and supplies into Tannis for their annual two-week trip from Massachusetts to Maine (and back) for the Regatta. Caroline Cronin Phillips has been managing the Chandlery. Kirstin Cronin was the manager of the Saturday evening dinner under the tent. Marje Russakoff was co-captain of the Southwest Harbor Race. Beth Langton, formerly of the yearbook, is now a race committee member. Marcia Morang managed the coordination and presentation of racing trophies for many years. ‘Ladies Under the Tent’ Nancy Toppan (another former Secretary), Kathy Whitney and Marion Stanley serve as FSS ambassadors on shore to those who wander into the tent at Rockland. Carole Wojcik is the long-time membership chairperson. Laurie Raymond is the newsletter editor. Diane Huston Fassak became the first women to serve as the Society’s Commodore in 2019, forty years after her father Donald held the position. A number of women skipper their own sloops including Laurie Raymond of Hegira, former regatta regular Sarah Beck, Kathe Newman Walton and Caroline Cronin Phillps (at the helm of Eden). And there were many women who were the keys to their families sailing and racing accomplishments. Chris Weigleb, Dot Houston, Ann Beck, Ollie Murphy, Maria Burnham, and Mary Duncan come to mind. The list is endless. The thanks owed for their encouragement, enthusiasm and inspiration is equally endless. The problem with writing a story that recognizes individuals is that you invariably omit someone. The intent of this story is to help you remember some of the special women who were and are instrumental in the Society, from its earliest days to today. I apologize to anyone whose name and contribution I have failed to mention.

12 “Honey, I lost my hat.” By Andy Zuber This story begins on a fine July morning, it was the Wednesday after July 4th. A Canadian High with a cold front was due to come through mid-day, with forecasted Northwest winds of 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 20. I had brought my Friendship Sloop GLADIATOR to Boothbay Harbor Maine for the Schooner Festival and had left her there on a mooring until that morning. She still had a single reef in the mainsail from the past Saturday, when we had a good 20 knot SW breeze while bombing around the Bay with eight friends aboard. As I had grown up on this 32-foot, 120-year-old Sloop, I felt confident that the two of us, The Boat and I, could easily sail “Down East” to Friendship in Muscongus Bay from Boothbay. I had grown up sailing GLADIATOR since I was born, and GLADIATOR was a sloop built for long-line off-shore fishing, like her sister Sloop the ESTALLA A, built in 1904 that used to sail from Matinicus, but now hails from the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut. Both ESTELLA and GLADIATOR are good sea boats that are not afraid of a “bit of wind.” As I rowed out to the boat, it was a picture-perfect summer day in Boothbay Harbor, with a warm off shore breeze and a blue bird sky above. I set the reefed main while on the mooring, then set the roller jib, dropped the pennant, and we were on our way to Friendship! The breeze was a pleasant 5-8 knots and steady. We were underway at about 9am and I finished my coffee as we made our way out toward Squirrel Island headed to Fishermen’s Passage. As we came up to Ram Island Light, GLADIATOR and I settled onto a nice close reach making a good steady 6 knots. It seemed to be making for a red-letter day as we went along with the off shore breeze. There was a bit of a left- over swell from the previous few days of Southwesterly’s, but overall, I felt the day was going quite smoothly. Of course, I spoke too soon. As I approached Thrumbcap Ledge and headed toward Pemaquid Point the Canadian High decided to begin to move in from the North. Gradually at first, almost imperceptibly, the wind began to increase to 10-12, and then 12-15, and then a bit more to 15-18 knots. Now as I mentioned, GLADIATOR is a rather hefty old girl, and as any Friendship Sloop owner will tell you, you can always dump the mainsail on a reach. So, that is exactly what I did, and I continued to feel pretty comfortable overall, but I also decided to roll up, or “reef” in a bit of my jib to lessen my sail area forward which helped as well. I was planning to try to make my course up along Pemaquid Point to the Passage Between Louds Island, and Marsh Island on the entrance to Muscongus Bay into Friendship, but decided to also lay further east to go south of Western Egg Rock toward Eastern Egg Rock with the intention of turning up toward Friendship by way of Harbor Island, which would also ease my point of sail. Then, MY HAT BLEW OFF! Now for those of you who sail, when your hat blows of your head, and you have been a sailor all your life, THAT IS A PUFF OF WIND! I estimated that gust to have been about 40 miles an hour, and I was approximately midway between Pemaquid Light and New Harbor. THEN as I instinctively looked back over my shoulder to see where my hat landed…I noticed that MY DINGHY WAS GONE! There was a painter, BUT NO DINGHY!!

13 THEN…. I looked up, and there was…. A HOLE IN MY MAINSAIL!!! OK. Take a Breath. Step 1. Don’t PANIC. Step 2. Start the ENGINE. Keep it in gear and headed into the WIND. Step 3. Roll up the rest of the JIB. Step 4. HAUL the BOOM in against the gallows and get the MAIN DOWN so it doesn’t tear to PIECES. Step 5. Keep yourself ON THE BOAT while doing steps 1-4!! Well, GLADIATOR and I accomplished Steps 1-5 and thank God for lazy jacks and experience. I headed up the Bay almost dead into the wind and was only able to make 2 knots over the ground with bare poles. That tells me that the wind was blowing a good 35 knots sustained that afternoon. By 1:30pm I had made it up to the end of the channel between Louds and Marsh Islands and picked up a mooring. I took a few minutes to straighten up the boat and furl the mainsail a bit. I also made some calls to some lobsterman friends in both Boothbay and New Harbor on the off chance they might see my wayward dinghy in the next couple days, although I figured it was going to be dashed on a ledge or on its way to Portugal. Next, I called my wife, Kandace at work. When she answered I said, “Honey, I lost my Hat.” “Oh no.” she said. Then I said, “Honey, I lost the dinghy.” “What, how did that Happen?” “Well,” I said, “There is one more thing,” “What?”, she said. “Well, there is a hole in the sail.” “I knew it,” she said, “I told you, you shouldn’t have gone alone!” So, that is the tale, and why I didn’t make it to the Southwest Harbor Race last year. But there is one more thing. At 6am the next morning, my phone rang. It was my lobsterman friend Mike. First thing he said was, “Found your boat.” SEASONAL & TRANSIENT MOORINGS & SLIPS AVAILABLE Easily accessible from the Cape Cod Canal AllenIF.com Offices in Rockland, Camden, Belfast, Southwest Harbor and Waterville.

23 25-foot Friendship Sloop By Raymond Covey I have been interested in sailing since I was a young boy growing up around Lake Sinclair in Georgia. During the fifties and sixties I used to watch the Y- Flier class sailboats race every Sunday on the lake and I knew one day I would own one. In 1970 I bought a used Y- Flier (1964 model) from a banker in Charlotte NC for $1,200 dollars which started my adventure in sailing. I sailed that boat for about 15 years and sold it some years after I got married. I always knew that I wanted to have a sailboat that I could sail in the ocean and the Friendship Sloop model caught my eye. In 2010 I decided to build a Friendship. I bought two boat-building books, How to Build a Wooden Boat by Bud McIntosh and The Gougeon Brothers On Boat Construction. These two books gave me the information and background to begin a boat-building project. I began searching for plans for a Friendship and found the Sloop Society’s web page, with a list of current Sloop Society Officers and found Charlie Burnham’s name. I wrote him a letter inquiring about where I could find a set of plans for a Friendship Sloop. Charlie did not know where I could find plans and I also called and talked to Ralph Stanley and he could not tell me where to find plans. I then ordered a book of boat plans from the Wooden Boat Store and found plans for a 25-foot Friendship Sloop. Construction started in October of 2010. Douglas fir was used for the stem, keel, sternpost, horn timber and tail feather. I strip planked the boat with bald cypress strips ¾ inch by ¾ inch. Each strip was glued together with epoxy and edge nailed together with stainless steel barbed nails. Frames were made of laminated spruce strips: 1/8 inch by 1½ half wide to make a frame 1 inch thick and 1½ half inch wide. Six-ounce fiberglass was used to sheath the hull and six coats of epoxy was laid on top. The deck is made of two layers of 3/8 inch Douglas fir marine- grade plywood. The bright wood is sapele (of the mahogany family). Most of the sapele were scraps and drops that I bought for pennies on the dollar from a company that builds architectural structures. My wife and daughter helped pour the lead ballast keel in November. Three people were very helpful to me during the early days of the project. Charlie Burnham was especially helpful. He used to call me from time to time to find out how things were going and would send me e- mails explaining many things that I needed to know. He even sent me drawings and advice on how to pour my lead ballast keel. Charlie was a good friend and a wonderful man. My only regret is that I never got to

24 meet him in person. JR Watson with Gougeon Brothers was very helpful also. I built my boat using the Gougeon method and JR Watson was always there for me when I needed advice on some aspects of the Gougeon method of building. Thad Danielson was also very helpful in many ways. I could never have completed this project without the help from these three men. The construction of the boat is now completed with the engine installed. I have acquired all of the materials for rigging. All that is left is repainting some areas and additional coats of varnish on the bright work. I look forward to launching my boat sometime this spring. I hope to dock her at one of the marinas in Savannah, Georgia. All images courtesy of: Raymond Covey, Builder

25 Elon, Oren, and Alumen: Sparring with Spars By John Fassak It’s Winter 2017. And we’re 35 years into the burn with Westwind’s restoration. The hull has been masterfully restored by Richard and Ralph Stanley, engine is installed, and we’re tucked away in a great boatyard on the Blue Hill Peninsula…fitting out things like port lights, instrumentation, cabin interior, etc. We’re taking stock of the pre-launch punch list: a suit of sails and deck hardware. Yet what’s needed to make this power vessel a sailboat is a mast. We begin our search looking through some of our friends’ woodlots…searching for that perfect spruce that can yield a 44’ spar. We find one on the shore of Swans Island and figure we can fell it and tow it by lobster boat to the mainland. Before doing that, we talk with a logger we know and now have too much knowledge about timber: “You never know what could be inside the trunk” or, “Sometimes there’s a lot of rot in them halfway up; just look at how they snap in winter blows.” Taking this council onboard, we head to the ferry to get off the island and pass a pile of old telephone poles on the side of the road, stacked neatly as part of the Swans Island Coop’s Electrical Distribution system upgrade. We put a squint on the poles in the pile and find a couple of candidates that are 45’ long and 12-14” at the base. Further, the poles are in a crib, and can be maneuvered using the Coop’s trucks. So, it’s off to the Coop we go, to see if we can solve a problem for them and us. For the Coop, it’s getting rid of old poles; for us, it’s finding a new mast. The conversation starts well, particularly since we know Steve Green and some of the people who work there. However, we quickly learn that the Swans Island Electrical Coop, member-owned since it was incorporated in 1949, is selling its electric distribution system and that the pile of old poles is part of an inventory that will be part of the sale. So…no old pole for us. As we pass the pile one more time, we notice that the poles have round metal tags nailed into them that identifies the manufacturer of the pole. We take a picture of the tag and head home. Once home, and still searching for a mast, we engage Dr. Google in our search, and find a number of spar makers up and down the East Coast. Our first contact is with an international firm, who are amazingly customer-centric on our introductory call. I describe what we’re looking for, and am quickly told “that’s no problem, we do that, we can also handle the engineering.’ “Handle the engineering?” I’m thinking…this is a great company. We continue our conversation, and out of curiosity, I ask about the scope and cost of the project. “It’ll be about $85,000…a little more if we’re using graphite fiber.” At this point I can hear Charles Morse in my head – knowing that the original Friendship builders would likely have endorsed modern technology – but probably not at this price. So, we thank the manufacturer, explain that we’re not affiliated with Dennis Conner or Larry Ellison, and continue our search. Sticking with the East Coast builders…we locate an aluminum spar maker…and after a constructive conversation, learn that they can build the mast…for about $16,000-20,000. We research a few other aluminum extruders…and return to our pursuit of wood! Our search now expands into New Hampshire and Maine, and we find a reported boat builder who has a specially rigged saw that can shape and cut the taper into a lengthy spar. We locate and visit his shop, a distinctive old wooden

26 barn where more than an occasional wallboard is missing, and about 40% of the weather outside finds it’s way inside. The volume of wood scraps and sawdust suggests a lot of traditional building has gone on here and every remnant is still where it fell. Now, my own shop is no candidate for a Marie Kondo award but this place was Olympic in its class. We find the owner and explain what we’re looking for. He shows us his shop, says he can make the mast we want but not for at least 20 months. We ask, “If we could wait that long, what would the scope of the project be in time and money?” In reply, we’re told ‘That can’t be estimated. It will take as long as it takes.” And further, “Our rate is $100 per hour. And it’s probably a couple of hundred hours.” Ok…well that sounds like an estimate. Our only concern is getting 75% of the way into the job and the place burns down. And we didn’t want to hire Michelangelo on an open-ended basis. We also wanted to have the spar available in our lifetimes. The search continues: where to from here? I check my phone and find the picture of the tag on the telephone pole. We find the manufacturer and a very helpful sales agent. After we explain what we are looking for, the agent says, “I have that.” Eureka! So, we start talking logistics. What the pole will cost, and how do we get it from where it is to where we need it. The cost of the pole is $400-600! It’s located somewhere in Pennsylvania. Ok, that’s helpful – very specific data we can respond to. “But to transport it to you requires special truck capabilities and the transportation will be a couple of thousand dollars, maybe more.” OK, we’re starting to get in the zone. But the sales agent thinks that, even if he makes the sale, that’s too much money all in. Good counsel. So, I explain where the boat is and ask, “Where do utility companies in the Northeast find poles for their distribution systems?” Our Pennsylvania sales agent recommends a couple of his customers and provides their locations. We call his Maine-based clients and find a helpful operator within the state. This firm is a full-service lumber mill and when we visit they let us know that what we want is “out back.” So, we get in our truck, pick up a man who will guide us ‘out back’, start feeling like we’re in a scene from Deliverance, and in a matter of minutes we’re upon a pile of 45-50 utility  Monhegan Island Trip scenic trails, inns, galleries  Harbor Tour a short scenic cruise – day & night  Sail on a Friendship Sloop sail near Boothbay’s scenic islands  Mackerel Fishing  Burnt Island LighthouseTour vessels:  Balmy Days II  Bay Lady   Novelty  Miss Boothbay  CAPT.

28 poles. We’ve found the Comstock Lode of potential masts. As if that wasn’t enough of a discovery, our friend asks us: “Will any of those do?”, and radios his colleague, who shows up 5 minutes later with a grapple skidder. We are sorting through the pile like you’d check lumber at Home Depot and find two poles that fit our specification. In ten minutes, we have them and put them aside. Now we have our mast (and boom). All we have to do, like Rodin the sculptor says, is “chip away what isn’t the mast.” And, get it from where it is to where we need it to be. We ask our lumberyard friends how we might move the poles. What follows next is genius. Seems our lumber mill supports many of the lumber retailers in the state of Maine. So, the transportation starts evolving. Ultimately the lumber mill can “top load” our poles onto an existing order and for a small incremental fee, can have their delivery truck stop at the boatyard. Perfect…that’s the plan. We set a delivery date two weeks out. The morning of the delivery I’m in touch with the driver of the lumber flatbed to guide him into the boat yard location. He’s right on time and arrives about 7:30am. We have the poles on the truck and the truck in the boatyard. Now to get the poles off the truck. I had assumed that, like many lumber delivery trucks, there’d be a forklift on the back that we could use to unload the poles. Not this time. So, we have the poles and truck in the same place, yet still just a few vertical feet from where want them. We start thinking about how to unload them – considering using a hawser tied to a ‘deadman’ in the yard and the other end to the pole on the truck and have the truck pull away to unload the poles. We quickly decide that doing this would likely make one of us the “dead man”…so we look for new options. 71 Townsend Ave. Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538 Tel. 207-633-4300 Harbour Towne Inn Waterfront on the

29 We have to move quickly since he needs to make the rest of his delivery, but we’re out of ideas. The yard is empty but for the two of us and the truck. Yet we know we need to make this happen. So, we start scouring the yard and, miraculously, find an old forklift in an adjacent building. We fire it up, get it to the trailer, and are able to lift the poles up at their center balance point, and lift them off the truck. The fork truck puts the poles down on the ground; the driver and I exchange mutual thanks and good wishes. He’s off to make his next delivery, and I’m putting the fortuitous fork truck back in its place. From here, we later skidded the poles using rope and a pick-up truck to get them into position for shaping. We start shaping the mast – tapering the base to fit through the mast hole on deck and finishing initial work outside, in December. The Maine winter sets in, and we’re done shaping for now. The next Spring, we moved both the boat and the poles to East Boothbay to install a propeller at P. E. Luke’s and establish a mast design in anticipation of launching in 2019. Frank Luke, owner of Luke’s Boatyard, introduced us to his sail maker-legend and friend Nat Wilson. Nat and rigger colleague Jose Hernandez-Juviel took Westwind’s lines and designed a spar to the proportions of the classic Friendship Estella A. built in 1904 by R. E. McLain in Bremen, Maine. With that, we shaped the pole to Nat’s design. Jose designed and built the standing rigging; Frank’s team helped wrestle and step the mast into Westwind, and we launched in August 2019: the first time Westwind has been overboard since she participated in Operation Sail in Boston in 1980. What’s the best part of our mast adventure? The challenges? The problem solving? The great people who we met and who helped make it happen? The Friendship Sloop owners like Bill Zuber, Bill and Jeff Cronin and their families, who shared their knowledge to transform a pole into a rigged mast? It’s all that and finally having a sailboat again. Plus, our cellular reception is “5G”! As you know, Elon is Hebrew for “oak tree”, Oren is “pine or ash tree”, and Alumen is Latin for aluminum….and how’s that for elan and éclat!

30 Commemorating DICTATOR By Kathe Newman Walton It’s been 50 years this summer since my father rebuilt and launched Dictator in July 1973. He made it down to the regatta that summer, after launching the boat a few days before, soaking up, stepping & rigging, and ran her down to Friendship on Thursday of the regatta, missing the race. Friday’s race was cancelled due to fog, and then we participated Saturday and won 1st place. We had an uncontrolled jibe somewhere on the last leg, dislodging the gaff from the mast, tearing the old sail, and had a downwind finish with the jaws of the gaff off to the side of the mast. Dad’s foreman at the boat shop, Roland Stanley, was hauled up the mast and he managed to get the main down, but I don’t remember the details (I was 10 and probably in the cabin at the time)… LEFT: Dictator’s arrival in SWH after being towed from Stonington. My parents kept watch both at Seawall near Long Ledge and the Western Way, looking for her. Apparently, she sat so low in the water with canvas covering the larger gaps and pumps going, that they didn’t see her behind the lobster boat towing her! RIGHT: The under sail photo is one that makes me smile because Dad’s favorite sailing was with friends and kids all over the boat – usually trying to race someone out on the water.
