The beginning of the year saw the passing of our founding member, Bernie MacKenzie. His pride in his Charles Morse sloop Voyager left him, with the enthusi- astic help of Friendship people, to found our Society in 1960, and to plan the first Homecoming in 1961 at which Governor Reed presented Bernie with the Governor’s Trophy as winner of Class A. Since then, Bernie has almost never missed a Homecoming, first in Voyager and then in Voyager II. Last year, in his eighties he sailed through Tuesday’s winds to finish the race. Fourteen sloops started that first race and now we have in the neighborhood of 30 sloops that come to the Rockland Homecoming and others that meet for races in other areas. We go to Rockland this year knowing that our founder is no longer with us. He will be missed, but the organization that he founded is strong and the idea of fellowship that he built it on is still strong. We are headed for another summer. We have ordered good weather and smooth sailing, so it should be a good year. The season will start again in the Chesapeake, move to New London and Southwest Harbor and on to Rockland. The season then moves to Marblehead and ends with the Gloucester Schooner Festival in September. All good chances to get together, sail and enjoy fellowship. In Rockland we plan to have both racing and events for the cruising set. More details on these events will be in the Newsletter and in the Rockland registration materi- al. We will look forward to seeing you there. We need to give a lot of credit for the Rockland Homecoming to “Share the Pride.” This organization sees that the tent is there, the grills, tables and chairs are in place, and they arrange for the dinner on Wednesday. The proceeds from the dinner go to an organization of their choice to help the community, and that is what we are all about. So hoist your sails and head east to enjoy the hospitality of the Rockland Harbormaster and his crew.
-2002 By Nancy Toppan When Friendship sloops become part of your life, you realize that they are more than just sailboats. There are some Friendship sloop people who are more than just people and likewise become part of your life. Bernie MacKenzie was one of those people. Shortly after Compromise arrived in our side yard in 1 985 Bernard MacKenzie arrived at my kitchen door, introduced himself and his companion, Al Zink, and asked if that was indeed a Friendship and could they look at our boat? I invited Bernie and Al to climb all over her. Bernie and Al offered us volumes of advice about our craft and encouraged us to join the Friendship Sloop Society. In the years that followed we sailed with Bernie in and out of Scituate harbor more times than we can count, right up to the fall of 2001 . When our days in Boothbay overlapped the Homecoming Regatta we were fortunate to sail with many skippers, and those races with Bernie were among the most eventful. Our son, Andrew, was aboard Voyager II the day she left her rudder next to Squirrel Island. It is impossible for us right now to imagine Scituate Harbor without Bernie, his dinghy and Voyager II, without meeting Bernie along Front Street to say “Hi” any time of year; without one of those people who have become part of our lives. By Charlie Noble The tragic events of September 1 1 have ignited a changing sense of priori- ties. After promising ourselves, family and friends for far too long a time that ‘someday’ we’d stop dashing about and start spending more time together on our beloved sloops, the time has come for us to mold our dreams into reality. There can be few greater rewards in life than the independence, the satisfac- tion of soul and the pure, simple pleasure that comes from hoisting sail and heading offshore. It tests our capability and puts us in harmony with our own selves, our vessels and nature. In later years, after our hair has turned gray, the scrapbook and the memories will be far richer. The rewards will prove price- less. Now, more than ever, it is the simpler things in life that count most. Let’s embrace the kids, proudly display our flag, kiss our mates and hoist that beauti- ful gaff-headed mainsail.

By Ralph Stanley On the first day of the Regatta, Marion, Leo Campbell and I in Seven Girls were asked to go out to the middle of Penobscot Bay to report on the weather. It was quite choppy out there and was breezing up stronger from the southwest all the time. Then the Race Committee asked us to stand by Solatia. She had broken her gaff and was having a hard time getting things secure. We saw her in by the breakwater. By this time the sloops were sailing close-hauled down the shore toward Owls Head. We proceeded along the breakwater to meet them. Now the wind had really picked up with heavy gusts. We were about a half mile from the first sloops and we could see Endeavor with one boat ahead of her. Richard was sailing her hard and he had dipped the coaming several times, taking some water aboard each time. He did not realize that the bilge pump had been turned off until he noticed water slopping in the bilge. Just after they turned the pump on, a heavy gust and a big sea put her coaming under again. This time she lost steerage way and the cockpit filled. In a minute, Endeavor sank, leaving her crew of five in the water. When I saw her go over, I knew she was going to sink. As we headed for them, I tried to call for help on our hand-held radio, but the battery chose that moment to die. I knew it was up to us to pick them up if we could. We were still some distance away when I saw the masthead disappear. I could not see anyone in the water as it was so choppy. I tried to steer for the spot, but it is hard to go directly for a spot in the water when there is nothing there to see. I was quite close to them before I could see their heads in the water. I want- ed to get to them as quickly as possible, but I didn’t want to give them a washing with my wake. It was hard to get alongside them as it was so choppy and I had to be careful not to hit them with the boat. We got Mrs. Bell aboard first but we bruised her up pretty badly. It is hard to get a person over the side of a boat when the boat is rolling and pitching. We finally got all five aboard and I took some visual marks to have some idea of our position before we headed for the harbor. Endeavor was on the bottom in about 65 feet of water. A diver could find nothing at the marks I took. He got a boat to look with a fish finder and a side-scan sonar. Another boat searched for two days with a side-scan sonar and found nothing. Then Jill Flora told me about Garry Kozak of Klein Associates, makers of side-scan sonars. He came to Rockland with two helpers and sonars, depth sounders, generators and a GPS. We searched all day over a big area and found nothing. Finally Richard suggested we go out to where I had picked them up and tow the sonar southwest. We did this and we found her. We checked with the depth sounder and, to make sure, got a position with the GPS. We dropped an anchor with a buoy to mark the spot.

Next morning the diver went down and confirmed that it was Endeavor and proceeded to lift her with air bags. The top of the mast came out of water when the air bags broke the surface, but the boat bounced and the strain pulled the trav- eler out of the deck. The oak was real soft from the pressure after being on the bottom for several weeks. She went down again stern first as the air bag was still attached to the bow. The rudder struck bottom and was damaged while the tiller hit the coaming, cracking it and breaking the tiller. The boom went up and struck the spreader, breaking it and cracking the topmast. The gaff jaws were also bro- ken. I then got Doug Beal to come with his barge from Southwest Harbor to put straps around her and lift her with his derrick. In three hours she was on the deck of the barge on her way to Southwest Harbor. When we got home, we found the anchor we had dropped still in the cockpit. Endeavor has been scraped to bare wood, dried out and repainted. The space under the deck in the cockpit has been sealed to create an airspace that will give her more buoyancy if she dips her coaming again. The engine has been replaced and necessary repairs made. She will be sailing again this summer. With the loss of RMS Titanic in 1912, all steamships were required to carry radio equipment. With the sinking of Endeavor in 2001, the Friendship Sloop Society caught up. The Race Committee now requires that each support boat and sloop participating in our races carry an installed VHP radio and that a person on each vessel be designated to listen to it. In addition to the pre-race radio check-in, the Race Committee may conduct random radio checks. Further details at each Skippers’ Meeting. As a recognition of the age and delicate condition of Class A sloops and their owners, the Committee will direct, at the discretion of each skipper, that each registered Class A sloop, after crossing the Wednesday finish line, shall pick up a designated lobster buoy as she used to do in ‘the good old days.’ She may enjoy whatever restorative she finds at the end of the warp – if any. The recipient of the treasure shall be awarded the ‘Rum Line Trophy’.

By Mary Cronin 6/30/2001: 12:00 noon. Weather forecasters were expressing concern over two large fronts moving toward New England but could not confirm where these fronts woulacome together. 2:00 p.m.: The US Coast Guard predicted a severe thunderstorm watch for Massachusetts from Scituate to Merrimack River. Boaters were warned to seek imme- diate shelter. 3:00 p.m.: More urgent warnings from the Coast Guard, but boaters in the Salem, Mass., area did not heed the prediction or did not hear the broadcasts. Area Harbormasters were patrolling our area, spreading the alarm and towing in boats. We stayed on board. 4:00 p.m.: The skies were already turning dark – some boaters headed in, others headed out to sea. The storm hit with abrupt intensity and fury. Torrential rain and heavy winds mixed with hail. Our Friendship sloop Tannis did a 360 degree circle around our mooring. Frantic calls came over the radio for Coast Guard assistance. Our son, Wayne, and his wife, Kirsten, were laying to their anchor in Gloucester Harbor and said that the Coast Guard and Harbormaster were rescuing people in the water from overturned boats, boats that had lost power, and others with dragging anchors. A large schooner dragged down on them, but they managed to tie a milk bottle to their anchor and power out of its way. Hail stones the size of golf balls lashed at Tannis and filled her decks and cockpit. The continuous lightning was ferocious and the thunder deafening. The front stopped over Salem Sound for over one hour. Older residents later stated they had never seen such a long-lasting and intensive storm. Lightning struck our top mast and blew out all electronics. The smoke and smell of burning wires filled the cabin. Splinters off the topmast drifted down into our cockpit. Nothing worked! Radios, speed indicator, depth sounder, idiot lights on the engine, lights – all burned out. Light bulbs reverted to sand! When the storm finally passed and the smoke left the cabin the Captain, our grand- son, Drew, and I sat down and waited for our hearts to start beating again. Most of the wiring was no longer smoking and everything electrical was turned off. We could hear an insistent bzzzzzzzzz. After frantically searching the bunks and the cabin, the Captain gingerly brought out my duffle bag asking WHAT was in that duffle bag? The storm haa activated my electric toothbrusn! Since we were heading for Rockland, Maine, in a couple of weeks for the Friendship Sloop Regatta, repairs had to be accomplished quickly.

to local distributers, all electronics were replaced, and Tannis was back in shape. We did not realize that our steel fuel tank had been magnetized by the storm and our com- pass was off by about 25 degrees. That caused all kinds of problems!! We had com- passes around our necks, on the cockpit seats, etc. In February, 2002 Bill Whitney of the Friendship sloop, Gaivota, will degauss our fuel tank. Webster’s definition: “to make a ship effectively nonmagnetic by means of electrical coils carrying currents that neutralize the magnetism of the ship.” WOW! We will not forget that storm! By Miff Lauriat These days, getting a sloop out of the water is pretty easy. Solatia’s recent Brownell trailer haul-outs have taken all of about 10 minutes apiece. But the old way was much more interesting. I have some fond memories of the ‘good ol’ days’ work- ing on the marine railway. We’d start by making sure the wheels under the car the cradle rolled on had grease and would roll. Then we’d repair braces and posts. The real fun began with prying the damn thing down the rails, rusty second-hand tracks salvaged from a real boatyard, till we fetched up in the muck, so-called “mire-mud,” because in those pre- sewage-treatment-plant days that was the polite name for it. After the cradle was all the way to the end of the track, we laid off a four-part block and tackle borrowed from the Porkah Grossah Yacht Club, our affectionate name for the neighboring fish wharf. The fall led to a large winch, also salvaged from the real boat yard, powered by a straight-eight motor from an Olds junker. Trying to get that engine going was the trickiest part of the operation. You can imagine that someone like myself, who didn’t even have an auxiliary in his sloop, might not be too mechanically inclined so I would call on my wizard friend, Frank. Frank would fuss over the beast, and diagnose stuck points, water in the gas, bad electrical connections on the solenoid or spiders in the carb, whatever. I had confidence that the rusty old heap of iron would soon roar to life again. She’d belch fire up through that Carter carburetor and oil smoked from the crankcase breather. Water constantly trickled from petcocks and leaky freeze plugs. When we unloaded 700 pounds of inside ballast and unstepped the rig, Solatia, floated six inches higher. She needed only an average 10.3 tide to float on to the cradle. I had trouble remembering whether that forward post on the cradle lined up with the forward of middle porthole, but we’d get her aligned and chocked. After we’d selected the proper gear and wound the rope around the capstan four times, the cogs of the winch would clank and chatter. Slowly and laboriously she’d crawl up the ways. An agonizingly long half-hour later, she’d be on the bank, secure- ly chained for the winter. 12 AUTO SUPPLY Over 250,000 Auto Parts & Accessories Available If it floats or rolls we have parts!

– 2000 By Jim “Binnacle” Wright Dave Graham, Marblehead Race Chairman, handed out course instructions. All the courses were outside Marblehead Neck in the open ocean. As the north- east wind was increasing to 20 knots, Dan and I just looked at each other. “Ladies and gentlemen, the deteriorating weather conditions dictate that we should move the starting time from 1 2:00 noon to 1 0:00,” Dave told the assem- bled and anxious crews. We unloaded as much gear as possible, including the outboard, tied a reef in the mains’l, and with only 15 minutes to the start, got under way. The starting line was about half a mile to windward and it looked as if we’d make it in time. As the rest of the fleet was maneuvering near the starting line, we charged, close-hauled, across the harbor. As we approached the west side of the harbor, getting ready to tack to starboard, a 30 knot gust knocked Gypsy down on her beam ends, port rail awash. “Oh, m’God, Dad!” “Stand by the backstay, Dan. Hard a-lee. I think this is too much for this little sloop!” “Dad, we just spent two days slogging our way up here. We can’t quit now!” As I put the helm down and we came over on the port tack, another gust knocked us over and held us down long enough for the cockpit to fill. “Dan, it’s no use. We’ll break something or get hurt. I can’t tear up this little sloop. She’s new and pretty and @##*#@#.” Looking at each other in disappointed frustration, I eased the helm as Dan eased the sheets and we roared back down through the moorage, Dan yelling directions as we slalomed through the gold-plate yachts to pick up our mooring. We were once again under the watchful eyes of the ‘yachties’ lining the rail of the Club. As we rounded up for the mooring, Dan, with the boathook in one hand, hanging on to the starboard shroud with the other, managed to snag the mooring pennant just as a gust hit; and refusing to let go the pennant – plop! Dan, over- board, managed to reach the shroud, handed the pennant to me, sails flogging, smiling, trying to look cool and suave in front of the ‘yachties.’ “Whew!,” Dan grinned, clambering aboard, stripping off his wet clothes down to his shorts. “Dan. Here’s a towel. Please go below before you take off too much.” Gypsy is a 22-foot Ahern sloop from Stonington, Connecticut, now re-named / Got Wings. Gregory Roth received this award for his contribution to our Society on Long Island Sound. The award is made in recognition of the sloop Omaha, built in 1901 by Morris Carter and now owned by Adrian Hooydonk. 1 A T H E F A R N S W O R T H W Y E T H C E N T E R This summer enjoy the exhibitions Capturing Nureyev: James Wyeth Paints the Dancer and Kenneth Noland: Themes and Variations 16 Museum Street, Rockland, ME 04841 207-596-6457 • www.farnsworthmuseum.org ROCKLAND MARINE CORP.

Vo By Ruy Guttierrez Departing Rockland for Friendship with six other sloops we could still see each other in the murk, but as soon as Sorceress rounded Owls Head, every- thing disappeared. I had done my homework the night before and had plotted buoy-to-buoy courses all the way, but still we had a few close calls with immovable objects as the tides and fog played all sorts of cute tricks. When we passed Mosquito Island, we opted to pull into Port Clyde. If the weather improved, we’d push on for Friendship; if not, we’d stay put. We heard the foghorn on Marshall Point Light but never saw the light. We did, however, see red nun ‘6’ which marks Marshall Ledge to starboard, and I turned almost 90 degrees to starboard with the intention of staying in the deep channel into Port Clyde. My wife Tarn, the bow lookout, soon called excitedly “Rocks ahead!” I stopped Sorceress^ forward motion, turned to port, then to starboard, both times foiled by nasty boulders. Our GPS showed we were in Port Clyde, but without a differential GPS, the margin of error could be as large as 300 feet. I was about to anchor and wait things out when out of the mist arose a shrill voice, “No, Daddy. Don’t do that!” I knew this was no angel, but seizing the moment, I yelled back, “Daddy, is this Port Clyde?” “No. Hupper Island,” was the reply. After a grateful acknowledgment, some quick calculations and an educated guess or two, I took a reciprocal heading toward the yet invisible opposite shore. No sooner had I pointed the bow in, hopefully, the correct direction than the fog dissipated like THAT! And there was Port Clyde in front of us, the fleet peacefully moored, the colorfully-clad tourists eating ice cream on the Laura B/s wharf. I think that when turning to starboard at nun ‘6’, I subconsciously leaned toward the Hupper Island side of the channel, since it is deeper. Consequently, I missed nun ‘2’ and therefore did not turn farther to starboard to end up by the moored boats. Instead, I ended up in that little horseshoe behind can ‘3’. Consider, also, the ebbing tide, which must have set Sorceress toward Hupper Island. The story does have a happy ending – we made it to Friendship in time for the evening festivities. . .

By Penny Morang Richards Try as my father did to instill his love of boats in me, I am not a sailor by nature. Boats are pretty to look at and fun to sit upon when tied to the dock or rafted one to another. Mine is a point of view from the land. Months later, the details of my version of events remain clear – wind and tide conditions, jockeying for position, the course, and the extended forecast. Here it is, wrapped around a recap of the three day adventure that was my Rockland Homecoming. Tuesday: Turned down a gracious invitation from the race committee to join them on the water. A very blowy day, difficult to read a newspaper dockside (wind conditions). A few boats braved the winds, a few decided to shorten their course, a few never ventured off the dock, and one went out and did not return for many days. Lunch from Subway followed by a quick trip to Wal-Mart (Mary Cronin needed bottled water). Argued with mother. Collected trophies. Called husband (toll free) at his office in Massachusetts. Wednesday: Turned down a polite invitation from the race committee to join them on the water. Called the action during the Parade of Sloops. Plotted the best course to take mother and me from parking lot to Dunkin Donuts (two large decafs; one hot, one iced; both extra cream, the iced with extra sugar), to the Salvation Army Thrift Store (London Fog rain coat, $5) to Subway (lunch again) and then back to the harbor. Called husband. Engaged in pleasant chatter with tourists and started a rumor about Maria and Charlie Burnham that I figured would keep a woman from Ontario awake for weeks. Handed out Society year- books. Precipitation update: five inches of snowfall measured outside the har- bormaster’s office. How do you know? You were out sailing. Thursday: Turned down yet another invitation from the race committee to join them on the water. Tide was out and the ramp angle was steep; it’s always amusing to watch folks try to negotiate the ramp and maintain the integrity of malt beverages. Collected some returnable soda cans for the treasurer. Repositioned lawn chair three times to achieve maximum sun exposure while fin- ishing a stirring novel. Walked to Rite-Aid for the seventh time in three days. Lunch from Subway (we’ve collected enough of those premium stamps to get a free foot-long sandwich). Called husband. Set up trophies on table under tent. Explained for the umpteenth time why one trophy is a metal sailboat in a potty pot. Assisted Dave Graham reading his own handwriting during award ceremo- ny. So that’s a wrap, the perspective from the land. The extended forecast calls for long, slow days on land while you folks play boats. But I guess I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t enjoying my own special homecoming. 36 FRIENDSHIP SLOOPS REGISTERED WITH FRIENDSHIP SLOOP SOCIETY Sloops are classified Class “A”= Originals built prior to 1920: Class “B”= “Replicas” & “Near Replicas” built after 1920; Length On Deck (L.O.D.) rounded to nearest foot; TBL= To Be Launched; OLD= Built before WWII; c = circa; Builder names seperated by “&” built together; Seperated by “/” built sequentially Alphanumeric in “Builder(s)” column is builder’s model & hull (number if known) Sail 1. 2. 3. 6. 7. 9. 10. 13. 14. 15. 16. 18.
