3 Commodores’ Message Section A. of the constitution of the Friendship Sloop Society states that the purpose of this Society “shall be to encourage the building and sailing of Friendship sloops, to provide a medium for owners and friends to meet and enjoy each other around a common interest, and to promote the history and traditions of the Friendship sloop.” I love it. What other marine-centric organization has as its mission the obligation of its membership to have a good time on or near the water with family and friends? Since 1961 the Friendship Sloop Society has held winter gatherings and nautical rendezvous all along our New England coast to bring each other up to date, share stories and, of course, race our thoroughbred boats. It’s a rare occasion when any two boats going in roughly the same direction don’t try to outdo each other! This year, our 54th, will be no different. We have many sailing events/rendezvous scheduled up and down the coast as well as our event in Southwest Harbor, and multi-day event in Rockland Maine. We certainly hope you can join us at one of these events and swap some sea stories with us (true or otherwise, it doesn’t matter). And we are always interested in hearing about any older Friendships being restored or new construction underway. The society has a wealth of knowledgeable owners willing to share their experiences with anyone who asks. Recently we had an inquiry from Raymond Covey who is trying to find a bronze eagle figurehead for the new Friendship sloop that he’s building. If anyone knows where to find a figurehead, please get in touch with me. Not only do we have new sloops a-building, but continue to expand the regional domain of the society. We recently had an email from a gentleman in Australia about registering his Friendship sloop and joining the society. Registry #238 has been assigned to Arapala, and we welcome Colin Bibby, her owner, to the society. Arapala was built in 1955 in Williamstown Victoria Australia, and along with Mike Morris’ Hand of Friendship comprise two of the three Friendship sloops we believe are located ‘down under’. In terms of promoting the history and traditions of the Friendship sloop, the society’s book committee has spent the last several months researching, gathering, compiling and editing the contents of the new book Lasting Friendships. I never realized the amount of information that we had not already captured in the previous four books. Between Ralph Stanley, our historian, Ted Walsh, our editor, and the rest of the book team we have uncovered photographs and text in several museums including the Friendship Museum, Penobscot Maritime Museum and Maine Maritime Museum. We also received considerable support from the Deer Island Historical Society and found old records that we didn’t know we possessed. Lasting Friendships will be a great book that both updates our history and catalogs all of our sloops. Our main Maine social events in Southwest Harbor and Rockland will feature lots of Friendship sloop racing and requisite after-race parties and other activities. Southwest Harbor’s Flamingo Parade is lots of fun to watch while enjoying some of the delicious local food. The society will be offering “Sloop School” under the tent in Rockland again this year and will cover a wide range of nautical topics focused on Friendship sloops. The

4 training sessions will generally cover such things as sail handling, vessel management, systems maintenance and safety, but specific content will depend on what participants want to know. Courtesy Vessel Safety Checks will also be available to those who want to make sure their vessels comply with the minimum US Coast Guard requirements for safety equipment. And on the fun side we will also have the rowboat race and heaving line contest which are always highly competitive and great spectator sports! Come, join us. Swap a story or two. Enjoy our friendship and the ever evolving history of our Friendships sloops.

9 Friendship Memorial Scholarship Fund Named in memory of Commodore Bill Pendleton and his wife Beatrice, the Fund was established in 1967 when Friendship sloops were racing in the town of Friendship. In 1983 the Friendship Sloop Society turned the fund into a trust, with townspeople being named as trustees. The income of the trust is to be used for the “residents of the Town of Friendship, Maine, in the form of a scholarship for those who are seeking to further their post high school education.” It has provided financial assistance over the years to numerous students, several of whom have received multiple year scholarships. In 2013 scholarships totaling $4,000 were awarded to seven students. The young people of the town of Friendship need your support. Tax deductible donations in any amount should be sent to the Friendship Memorial Scholarship Fund, P.O.

Morang Award This award is given in memory of Bruce Morang, helmsman, yearbook editor and Race Committee Chairman. Ashore, he was editor of the Reading, Mass. Newspaper and a discriminating writer. The award is given for the best article submitted for publication in the yearbook. The winner of this award will be announced at the Rockland Homecoming. Omaha Award The award is made in recognition of the sloop Omaha, built in 1901 by Norris Carter. It was awarded to Greg Merrill. Messing About Trophy Miff Lauriat and Marge Russakoff, of the sloop Salatia, were presented this trophy by Dick Salter, Captain of Messing About, in honor of their contribution to the Friendship Sloop Society and the New England world of sailing.

11 Continued p. 12 The Prodigal Painting By Noel C. March In the summer of 1971, my brother Jonathan and I were just 14 and 12 years of age but we felt like grownups in the Friendship Sloop Society when the sloops would return to Friendship Harbor for their annual three days of racing and camaraderie. The cannon at the Pratt’s red house at the harbor would “boom” and our mother, Nona March, would load us boys into the car for a drive to the harbor to “see who arrived”. You see, to us kids who were mere “summer people from away”, the slow pace of July was livened up by very few experiences while we awaited the big event of summer, Friendship Sloop Days. One of our joys of summer, however, was meeting new friends our own age, and that some of these new friends were girls, well so much the better (honestly we were just glad for the company)! The Manos sisters lived up in the village, and their family had moved to town not long before we met. Their dad, Peter Manos, was a commercial artist, a talented painter in his own right, who had studied in New York and on Monhegan Island. I remember our mother being pleased that our new friends had such an interesting father, while my brother and I were somewhat less pleased with the suspicious glare he’d direct our way with that “what are your intentions with my daughters” look only an old-school dad can deliver (author’s note: as a father of young daughters now myself, I finally get it, Mr. Manos). Coincidentally, earlier that year, Peter Manos had been commissioned “pro bono” to paint the cover of the 1971 Yearbook for the Friendship Sloop Society by then Secretary Betty Roberts. Peter set to work and recreated a dramatic scene of William Pendelton’s #19 Blackjack racing in a close heat with Ernest Wigleb’s #18 Chrissy as both sloops heeled over and cut their respective wakes through the waters of Muscongus Bay. It was a real treat for locals and summer people alike to see this exciting piece of original artwork, painted by a local talent, grace the cover of our widely- AllenIF.com Offices in Rockland, Camden, Belfast and Southwest Harbor, Maine Insurance for homes, families, businesses and boats of all sizes.

12 distributed sloop book that year. The original piece was framed and donated to Betty Roberts and that was the end of the story….until now, that is! Imagine our surprise, while perusing Friendship sloop items on eBay on a chilly fall evening in October 2013, when what should pop-up but an offering For Sale of a “sloop painting” from some dealer in Ohio. That painting was none other than the original framed Peter Manos painting for the 1971 Yearbook! Needless to say my brother and I agreed to make sure our bid was the highest, and sure enough we won. Adding to our joy was the pleasure of telling our dear childhood friends Maria and Melissa Manos the story of their father’s Friendship sloop painting’s triumphant return to Maine. But lastly, maybe the only person happier than the four of us was Peter Manos himself who now, at age 87 and living in Kennebunk, was reunited with that work of art 42 years after he last laid eyes on it in Betty Roberts’ home. Some old sayings are true, like “what goes around, comes around”, but maybe other old sayings like “you can never go home” are less true in some cases. Perhaps this story is just one such case, since that painting made a cross-country trip and decades later did, indeed, return “home”. www.ScituateHarborMA.com Scituate Harbor Business Association www.ScituateHarborMA.com Scituate Harbor Business Association Scituate Harbor is Pure New England with specialty shops, artist studios, restaurants, the inn, a hardware store, a movie theater, a laundromat, services, even a bowling alley – all overlooking the water and boats.

Integrity # 97 By Kent Mack Editor’s note: In the 2013 yearbook, Marshall Chapman wrote an article about the same sloop. This year’s article is written by the previous owner of Integrity, and adds another chapter to the story of a 111-year-old Friendship. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It must have gotten in my blood, and I didn’t even know it. When I was a teenager, me and my dad visited my older brother Brad in Florida. He owned and lived aboard the 41’ Class A Friendship sloop Susan, #29. I remember leafing through Enduring Friendships during our stay and loving the beauty of the tops’l rigged Friendship. I never thought I’d own one. It began on a quiet Father’s Day afternoon in June 2007. I sat down at the computer and for some reason, Googled “friendship sloop.” In the results was the Friendship Sloop Society home page and several other brokers and classified ads for Friendships. I perused through a lot of them, but only one caught my eye. She was original, built by Wilbur Morse himself in 1903. Tops’l rigged and beautifully maintained. I wasn’t in the market for a boat, I was just curious. So I looked a little more and made a call to the owner, Brian Wedge in East Harpswell, Maine. That call was the start of an exciting journey and friendship that changed my life. Brian sent a bunch of pictures and told me of the boat he’d owned since December of ’03, a boat he loved, but not as much as his sister. He was selling the boat to help his big sister with the expenses of fighting a life threatening illness. Over the course of the next 16 months, Brian patiently educated me about Integrity and walked with me though the development of a plan to acquire her. Many doors opened during this time, and a few could have been “show stoppers.” Brian had several people make full price offers for Integrity…but he refused them. He felt very strongly that Integrity couldn’t go to just anyone, especially those who just wanted another trophy for their collection. We

Sixteen months after that Father’s Day Google search, in October 2008, I was heading up to New London for my 30th U.S. Coast Guard Academy reunion. We added a leg to the trip and went to East Harpswell, Maine to see Integrity for the first time. She was in her winter shed on Brian’s beautiful waterfront property. During the visit, I’d arranged for a marine surveyor to give Integrity a complete going over. Brian had installed a 30hp Yanmar with barely 60 hours on it, so I wasn’t concerned about running her. At the same time, my brother, the former owner of # 29 Susan, was up from Florida at his place in Bar Harbor, so he came down and took a look as well. Everything checked out beautifully. During the next few weeks I arranged financing, insurance, transportation, and a home for Integrity at Atlantic Yacht Basin in Chesapeake, VA, a mere 2 miles from our house. Just before Thanksgiving, we drove back to East Harpswell to load up our minivan with sails, rigging, paint, varnish, and everything Brian could think of that we could ever need to become successful Friendship owners. He even put together a detailed rigging plan….it was amazing! The day after we left, Brian’s sister came for a visit from the west coast and he presented her the check to pay for the much needed medical treatment. Continued p. 15

15 A few days later we had Integrity in the travel-lift at Atlantic Yacht, where she went into covered in-the-water storage. Her spars went into the “spar shed”. Atlantic Yacht knows how to take care of sailboats! It snowed that day, which rarely happens down here, a fitting welcome from Mother Nature. We spent the winter and early spring just figuring things out and refinishing bright work. In mid May, Brian came down from Maine and helped me set the rigging of Integrity for the first time. On June 1st we shifted berths up the ICW to the Norfolk Naval Base Marina, right on the Chesapeake Bay. In her first season on the Chesapeake, Integrity participated in the parade of sail at Norfolk Harborfest and a few other races and events as part of the Norfolk Naval Sailing Association. She’s already turning heads and catching eyes, often being referred to as the most beautiful boat many have ever seen. I wrote the previous section on Integrity, two years before finishing this article. And, during that time Integrity continued to build her reputation in the southern Chesapeake Bay, often invited as a “Character Vessel” for major maritime events in Norfolk and Portsmouth such as Harborfest and OpSail. Integrity weathered two major hurricanes while under our care. Hurricane Earl, in 2010, and Hurricane Irene, in 2011. Each of those storms brought sustained winds of 40kts and gusts to 75 along with storm surge of 8 feet or more. During Earl in ’10, Integrity was berthed on a fixed pier. That pier was nearly 5ft underwater during the worst of the storm. She broke her port bow lines sometime in the night, which allowed her starboard midships to come against a mooring piling. I was in awe (as was every other boat owner Continued p. 16

16 in the marina) that the piling got markedly damaged by Integrity’s rub rail, but the rub rail had no damage at all. When Hurricane Irene came through in 2011, Integrity was on a concrete floating pier with 14 lines holding her down. Marina’s in the area were severely damaged and dozens of boats were destroyed. Integrity didn’t even loosen a cleat. All those guys with “plastic” boats were pretty jealous. In December of 2011 I got a call that someone was interested in purchasing Integrity. That was Marshall Chapman. He wanted to bring her back to Maine. He had previous vintage Friendship sloop experience, and was a dedicated restoration and historical preservation enthusiast. I think I’d always felt a little guilty that I took Integrity away from her Maine roots. I was always lamenting that I didn’t have a work shed like Brian did to maintain Integrity in the off season. We kept her in the water all year long, and learned, and loved her with everything we had, but now she had a chance to go home. So, on a gorgeous early spring day in January 2012, we motored Integrity away from all the aircraft carriers at Norfolk Naval Base, past Norfolk Waterside and the Battleship Wisconsin, down the intracoastal waterway to the only other place that loved and cared for wooden boats in the southern Chesapeake, Atlantic Yacht Basin. As we passed through the locks at Great Bridge and waved to people along the ditch, my crewman thought out loud about how these people have no idea that they are seeing a legitimate piece of American maritime history pass them by. How many people ever get to witness a 100+ year old piece of working history pass right in front of them? A rare few. We hauled Integrity for the underwater portion of her marine survey. The surveyor had over a dozen hull fasteners removed and every one was dry and tight. It was an amazing testimony to the construction and care given to Integrity over the decades. The next day we downrigged and stowed everything we could fit into the cabin. Then, we loaded Integrity on the transport trailer and as it was becoming dusk, said farewell and sent her on her next journey back home to Isle Au Haut, Maine and the watchful care of Marshall Chapman and The Keepers House at Robinson Point Lighthouse. Fair winds, Integrity.

As the meeting came to order, I explained that what we needed first was an outline. I was met with silence and blank looks. I tried to explain a different way, the purpose of the outline…the structure of the book, more blank stares. I took a different tack; “The outline,” I said, “is the half hull for the book.” “Ohhhh, why didn’t you say so?” That first meeting of the book committee consisted of a lot of discussion of the general shape of the book (half-model). What kind of introduction or preface should it have (deep forefoot or cut away)? How much detailed history should we delve into in the first part of the book (what kind of turn to the bilge)? How should the catalog of sloops look (deck and house)? How should the book end (run out and transom shape)? We were not able to answer all of these questions in detail that first meeting, but I think we all left with a better sense of what the hull would look like—I mean what the book would look like. As that first meeting broke up, the next big challenge was how to fit the ten attending members of the committee into our cottage for some refreshment and supper. The cottage where Judy and I live was built a century before the first Friendship sloop, when the scale of buildings was very different. The cottage is bigger than our sloop, the Black Star, but not by much. It turned out the space in the cottage was not a problem and the focus was on health:

19 tonic water to keep malaria at bay, a little lime to prevent scurvy—plenty of clear liquids. As members of the committee balanced plates of lasagna on their laps and perched on every available chair in our small abode, the conversation revolved mostly around sloops, a great way to spend a Saturday night in January. As the evening wore on the stories became more entertaining and there was more laughter in general (which might have had something to do with the clear liquids). But mostly it was an evening of great fun and camaraderie. Four more meetings followed, each dealing with greater and greater detail; the first draft (laying the keel), the first layout (framing out), choosing photos (planking), the first round of edits (fairing the hull), the first discussions of the book release (the launch), and even sales (or sails). As the pieces of the book came together, there were some difficult conversations and some hard decisions that had to be made, but that is part of the process and if you don’t face those decisions and make those choices you won’t ever finish the boat—I mean book. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the book, and how thrilled I am to have it off my ways; I need to get back to work on the Black Star and our cottage. Now I look forward to what the reaction to the book is from members of the Society and from readers who may not know about us. I feel like we are very fortunate to have had so many people who were willing to offer their time and talent to make the book a reality.

22 Hegira By Laurie Raymond The story of how Hegira and I evolved from day sailors and weekenders into dedicated adventurers and cruisers has everything to do with timing, friendships and Friendships, and what a transformation it has been! I acquired Hegira in 1998, then bought out my partner Steve a few years later. She had been sitting, derelict and forlorn in a forgotten corner of a boatyard in Connecticut, begging to return to the salt. I did A LOT of sailing, any time I could, in the local waters of Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay. I went solo or took out friends, and when asked where I had sailed to that day, my response was often, “oh…out and back.”. Several times each summer we would boldly strike out for Cuttyhunk Island or some sheltered cove along the Elizabeth Islands or Vineyard shore for an overnight, or bolder still, a weekend! It was a fine existence, but I often thought of going farther afield, say, Nantucket or Block Island, but fear of fog, or shoddy navigation or mechanical mishap kept me close. I latched onto the Friendship Sloop Society at the recommendation of a friend and started driving to Rockland for the homecomings. I sailed on other sloops and heard from other sloop owners about their journeys to Rockland and beyond; about adventures (including fog, shoddy navigation, and mechanical mishaps), near misses, squalls and groundings, and, incredibly, it all sounded more enticing. And some of these boats were 25 footers like Hegira. I started thinking, ‘maybe someday…’ Then along came Rusty, my partner and trusted Bosun. A cantankerous woodworker and boat builder by trade, it became clear he could fix or design just about anything, the perfect guy to have on a boat (and in one’s life, as it turns out). As the sparks flew and we became closer, frames were repaired, the starter on the engine got fixed, lights found their way into the cabin, the galley sink pump and plumbing became operational, masthead light got connected, VHF was installed, and we eventually had a boat that might actually go somewhere beyond our familiar waters. At the same time, the 50th anniversary of the FSS was fast approaching with the hope of luring 50 sloops to Rockland. It was an “if not now, when?” kind of moment. I had the boat, had the Bosun/soulmate, had some nudging from the incredibly supportive and capable Buzzards Bay fleet, consisting at the time of the Wojciks and Whitneys, and had no more reason to say, ‘no, I can’t’. I begged out of work (“but it will only be a month…”), Rusty put his jobs on hold (“but Continued p. 24 Scituate Launch Services “Cedar Point” and “Easy Rider” “Full Season Service for Scituate Harbor” Harbor Towing Moorings VHF CH 9 Supplies “Concierge Services” Transients Welcome 1-800-256-MOOR scituateharbor@comcast.net

Well, not exactly ‘just like that’…We had much to prepare and much to learn, like how to operate the newfangled GPS, how to keep food from swimming in the cooler, how much Tanqueray and beer to stock (never too much!), how to dodge lobster gear, how to fly a burgee, how to be ‘host boat’ for our fellow sailors at the end of the day, how to keep up with Banshee and Gaivota (or at least keep them in sight), how to navigate in the fog, how to get along with each other in tight quarters, how to stay dry, how to be a contributing member of our small fleet, how to be patient and always ready at the same time. Thank goodness we at least knew how to sail! Hegira travelled under 13 bridges on that first expedition to Maine (previous record: zero). She cruised over 750 miles, put 90 hours on the engine, broke in her new sails, and provided the Bosun and me with the confidence and desire to make the trip again and again. The Whitneys and Wojciks were the finest mentors and cruising companions we could have had, and their wisdom, support, generosity and friendship were lavished on us throughout that first journey and the ones that have followed. Visiting and sailing with other Friendships along the stunning New England coast and tapping into local knowledge, have broadened our horizons, given us all sorts of new ideas, and reminded us that we are not the only crazed, sloop-loving zealots out there. It is truly the friendships and the Friendships that have opened up this new world of beauty, adventure and achievement for Hegira and her crew. Now, when friends ask me if we’re ‘doing that trip to Maine again’, I say without hesitation, “you betcha!”

25 Continued p. 26 Where is the P.O.T. (the Post Office Trophy)??? By Caroline Zuber proud resident of Friendship since 1974 In the 1975 Friendship Sloop Days Yearbook is an article entitled “How Sits the Wind?” by John Gould. It seems that the U.S. Government decided that the Town of Friendship needed a new Post Office. Land was purchased and the design was drawn up by Cy Hamlin (the same Cy Hamlin who originated the handicapping system used by the Friendship sloops in their regatta). The design included a modest cupola, complete with a wind vane. Cy designed a wind vane in the shape of a gaff-rigged sloop, as was needed in the town where they originated. The government, with its usual rigid attention to detail, equipped the cupola with a Marconi rigged sloop. This did not set well with the early supporters of the Friendship Sloop Society, so they convinced the powers that be to remove the Marconi rigged sloop and they would furnish a properly rigged gaff-rigged sloop. This was done, and John Gould took possession of the government-issue wind vane. The properly rigged sloop turned in the breeze until 2010, when the post office building received a new roof. Over the years, the cupola had also rotted away, and the wind vane fell over and lost one of its parts. The roofers asked Hal Ward, the current Friendship Postmaster, if he wanted it. Hal, being a descendant of Warren Morse of Morse Island, a prodigious sloop builder, thought he would like to have it. He took it to his home down the street and thought no more about it. A few weeks later, he had a yard sale and sold it for $10.00. The story might have ended there, except that Caroline Zuber likes to take visiting “sloopers” on a ride around town, and one of her favorite stops is in the Post Office parking lot, where she tells the story of the improperly rigged sloop. She suddenly became aware that there was no more cupola, and no more sloop! Since the wind vane had been commissioned and paid for by the Sloop Society, she inquired of Postmaster Ward the details of its disappearance. He had been unaware of the story behind the wind vane (being much younger than Caroline) and was really sorry that he had sold it. A few weeks later, Hal appeared in the parking lot with a big smile on his face. He had located the fellow who had purchased the wind vane, and had bought it back!

So a piece of Friendship sloop lore has been returned, and the Friendship Museum will eventually be able to put it on display. However, there is more to the story. John Gould had an idea of what to do with the Marconi rigged sloop. The next year he presented the “P.O.T. Trophy” (or the Post Office Trophy). He had mounted the Marconi rigged sloop in a small white chamber pot. This trophy was awarded in the spirit of fun to the sloop that made the biggest boo-boo, or ran aground, or got lost, or something else ridiculous during the races. Bruce Morang, our then Race Committee Chairman, had a great time awarding the P.O.T. to the red- faced skipper or crew member Bruce felt worthy of the honor. Somehow over the years, racing became more serious, with “seconds per mile” and other machinations. The P.O.T. was not considered an appropriate trophy, and it has been lost for a number of years. If you know of its whereabouts, please return it to Caroline Zuber, who will restore it to its proper place next to the “real” old Friendship sloop wind vane in the new Friendship Museum Annex at 30 Main Street in Friendship.

George, Prop. Mast Wedge Inspection Report 2013 By Commodore Bill Whitney Sailors by the nature of their unforgiving nautical pursuits are quick learners. Simple nautical errors, like leaving the garboard plug out when launching the boat, are quickly remedied when you discover that your shoes are very wet, or worse when everyone at the boatyard make it a point to tell you that the waterline on your boat is rapidly disappearing. I learned as a young sailor that you only spit into the wind once. Most sailors have a highly refined sense of where the boom is located. It doesn’t take long to have some sense knocked into (or out of) you during a jibe. And all like to regale anyone who will listen with stories of their near-misses as a means of teaching others “what-not- to-do”. I can tell you from personal experience that this method of information transfer is quite effective. And as a result of the copious amounts of this effective (if not totally accurate and most of the time significantly embellished) form of communication, the fleet was unusually well prepared for this year’s mast wedge inspection. It was almost like someone had prepared the questions and their appropriate answers and handed out a flyer to every boat owner! Well……that just wouldn’t do. Now I’m all for fairness. As the official “MAST WEDGE INSPECTOR” it is my responsibility, my duty to find every infraction, every misapplication of the uncompromising rules of mast wedging. Our ancestors have invested years of stress analysis, experimentation, materials engineering and forest

28 Continued p. 29 product selection in developing these highly technical exacting rules. They deserve, no they demand, proper application and enforcement! When confronted with such overwhelming excellence I knew that I had to improve my questioning technique, or at least make the questions more deviously difficult. After all its’ my sacred mission to test the real strength of the fleet, to prepare them for whatever catastrophe may try to separate their mast from their boat! In all fairness I cannot reveal the participants in this year’s inspection, nor will I disclose the questions asked. I’m sure that the questions will be shared by the poor souls subjugated to my inquiries over hot stoves in workshops and basements this winter. And I fully expect that the questions/answers will be fully cataloged prior to the festivities next year. But such is the burden I willingly bear. Below are listed a sample of the responses that were received. I leave the questions that elicited these responses to your imagination. I must also note that some of the responses were totally spontaneous. Heck, some of them were volunteered before I even asked any questions! 1. I’m indisposed! Go away! • The atmospheric ambiance of the immediate area surrounding the companionway confirmed the current activities below decks. • The inspector chose to honor the request! • Inspection delayed until 2014. • Proper penalties have been assessed. 2. Mast wedges? The yard installs them don’t they? I haven’t got a clue. • I have to admit, the yard did a good job with all 18 wedges. Race Committee Boat (Bill Finch photo)

I think he was a new participant in this ritual. • Inspection passed. (With reservations and a recommendation to relax!) 3. I think I might be missing some, but there are extras in the drawer beside the stove. • Missing at least 2. • Lots of lumber/kindling beside the stove but none of it wedge worthy. • Note that “beside the stove” is where you normally store the firewood! • Inspection passed after accepting additional wedge material provided by the inspector. 4. Gosh, I don’t know, maybe 9 or so. But I know they are made of pine, eastern white pine to be specific. • Actual count was 12. They were white pine, and nicely shaped to conform to the mast diameter and partners. • Refreshments were offered and accepted, and accepted,……. and accepted. • Inspection passed with flying colors. (As was the inspector!) 5. Oh, they’re teak, I’m certain of it! And there are 14 of them. • Would you believe pine? • Hard yellow pressure treated pine. • All 16 of them. • However, the inspection was passed after lengthy discussion on wood species and the merits of various brands of scotch. 6. The things around the mast? 20 of them. 10 inches long and an inch wide. Fir from the back yard. Need anything else? • Well that got off to a good start! Almost like it was rehearsed? • Oh! I did this boat last year. Maybe it’s time to quit. • He passed. So the mast wedge inspections for 2013 came to a close with the inspector assured that none of the masts inspected will come adrift or fall out of their respective sloops. Be ready. Be forewarned, 2014 will be a year when no excuse for poor wedge knowledge will be tolerated.

30 Update from Maine By Judy Heininger To Calef Sept 1, 2013 Hi Papa, I suppose you could say that we’ve had a less than successful weekend, although things definitely could have been worse. Yesterday we motored in BLACK STAR out around the Cuckolds; the seas became noticeably larger just beyond Squirrel Island. We raised sail anyway, hoping there would be enough wind to carry us once we rounded the sea buoy and turned away from the seas. We rounded the buoy to find there wasn’t enough wind and had pretty uncomfortable slatting of the sails, so we motor-sailed a little further, heading up into the Sheepscot River. We did turn the motor off after a bit, and with the tops’l up had just enough wind to manage. The following seas were significant enough though that our tender Fee-Fie would ride up close to the transom at a pretty good rate of speed. Ted extended the painter as far as he could; I, at the helm, decided I couldn’t watch that anymore, thinking I couldn’t bear to watch if it did ram the transom. Besides, we were going dead downwind, and with that following sea I had plenty to focus on keeping us headed where we needed to go without an accidental jibe. As we closed in on a buoy, that I had been steering nearly by-the-lee to make for a considerable time, I had to sail by-the-lee to get around it. I said to Ted, who was sitting on the boom near the mast to try to reduce the slatting, I’m sailing by-the-lee, I’m still sailing by-the-lee, Continued p. 34 At the dock in Rockland…after the races (Bill Finch photo)

I yelled to Ted to get down and over the mains’l went. Fortunately that was just BEFORE the wind really picked up. Then, of course, the wind picked up. We needed to get the tops’l down but were now closing on the western shore of the river. We decided to come around into the wind as it had increased. I’m pretty sure I haven’t ever gotten a rope burn tacking before but I did yesterday (very minor). I had to manage the mails’l so would get to the heads’ls after, but the backed heads’ls brought us around so fast that the mainsheet just flew through my hands. Black Star was driving powerfully through the water like we don’t typically drive her. Anyway. We managed as needed and got ourselves into Robin Hood Cove, which you would enjoy. This morning, after the fog cleared, we decided to motor up the river to look at a house that Ted had designed, about 3 miles up. There was no wind and we thought we would go sightseeing. Well we didn’t get too far up the river when our engine abruptly shut off. It was clear by the sound that the propeller had gotten tangled. We looked behind (Bill Finch photo)

Ted donned his wet suit and over he went. There was no lobster pot buoy; who knows when that was cut. It took multiple dives to clear the propeller, and he said the water was very cold on his head. I decided not to tell him about the seal that I could see checking him out. I considered having the boat hook in my hands in case the seal got too interested, but it stayed off enough. Besides, a seal nearby is a good sign that there aren’t any sharks around, so I reasoned. We were lucky there wasn’t any wind to speak of, and that the out-going current was slowly taking us seaward and not towards nearby islands. Needless to say that was enough excitement for us for the entire weekend. We motored across Boothbay to Linekin Bay and into Lobster Cove. We picked up a mooring we’ve been offered and used before. After resting for a couple of hours we went out in Fee-Fie and had a lovely sail, saw friends on Celebration (another Friendship) and are getting the low-key time that we need. Will probably motor back to our mooring in the rain tomorrow, but will see how that goes. Make sure I tell you the story about the lady who, on the radio, asked her husband if they were going to hit a boat! I also need to send a photo of a houseboat we saw this morning in Robin Hood Cove that Peter and family would enjoy. I hope you are doing well. I will call tomorrow evening. lots of love, Judy
