(207)236-2875) www.artsmaine.org Tuesday – Saturday 10AM – 5PM, Sunday (June thru Sept) 12-5PM Commodore’s Message At the turn of the last century in the harbors of Maine you would have found clipper bows, gaff rigs, large cockpits and a hold for the catch. These became known as Friendship sloops. The vessels were graceful whether they were at anchor or sailing, but they were working boats and it was from these boats that fishermen made their livings. With the advent of the gasoline engine, sail was replaced by power, and by 1920 fishing vessels powered by sail were becoming a thing of the past. The Friendship sloop faded away and only a few of those original sloops remain today. Between 1920 and 1960 a few were built as yachts and some of the remaining originals were converted to yachts. In Voyager, a Friendship sloop built by Charles A. Morse in 1906, “Bernie” MacKenzie won a Boston Power Squadron race in 1960. He got the idea of a Homecoming Race in Friendship, Maine. In 1961 The Friendship Sloop Society was born and 14 sloops showed up to race in Friendship harbor. Since that time, more have been built, some of wood and some of fiberglass, and the Society has grown over the years. There are now at least 225 Friendship sloops sailing in all parts of the world. There are get-togethers at Southwest Harbor and Rockland in Maine, in Marblehead and Gloucester in Massachusetts, in New London, Connecticut and in St. Michaels, Maryland. So as we enter a new century, the Friendship sloop is still here and going strong. The cockpits are smaller and the fish holds have been replaced with cabins. Their cargo is no longer fish and lobsters but families, kids and friends. So come join us with your own boat, sail as crew aboard another, or watch us from the shore. These boats make a beautiful sight as they sail together. Paul Haley, Commodore Cover: Sea Dog, owned by Greg and Naomi Grundtisch, sailing on Lake Erie.

WENONAH’S BIGGEST WEEK by Wenonah Berry Dear Sisters: My new best friend, Perseverence (FSS #83) got me invited to the OpSail 2000 Baltimore extravaganza last June. Poor Miss P couldn’t make it herself, so it was up to me to represent all of us in Baltimore. Read on. We sailed up the Bay under full sail and joined Lady Baltimore, Pride of Baltimore, Rose and several foreign tall ships along the way. My boatyard fired a cannon to salute us as we went by! Did that ever make me feel special! I’ll bet it made the big girls jealous, don’t you? We got to Baltimore in time for the skipper and Dave Niebuhr, Miss P’s skip- per, to attend the opening ceremony at the Inner Harbor. They were intro- duced on the stage and listened to several short speeches before being bagpiped to the 23rd floor of the World Trade Center for a cocktail reception. The skip- per told me the view was like being in 19th-century Baltimore, if you over- looked the contemporary buildings. I’ll bet the food tasted better than 19th- century gruel, though. Anyway, there were over 30 tall ships including me within sight. Skipper’s so jealous: he doesn’t like to let me out of his view. The crowds were awesome. So many people. All coming to see me, your wee sister, a Friendship sloop. Well, many of them, anyway. And all the people weren’t on land. So many came by water that the Patapsco River was full of a heavy two-foot chop. That made it kind of uncomfortable for me, berthed on the outside of a floating dock. I almost got seasick, if you can believe that. Don’t worry. I’d never let it show. The organizers knew we were having a tough time tied up where we were, so they moved us into real berths the next day. Boy! was that nicer, except the move wasn’t without some trouble on a breezy day. A lovely schooner fouled a mooring line on its prop. My turn came and we backed into our slip with no problems. Phew! Then came the skipjack Norfolk and she messed up big time. First she ran her chain bobstay into the wood dock and took out a big chunk of it. Then she backed her push boat (up on davits) right into my spanking new bowsprit. Damn if she didn’t take a small chip out of my sprit. I guess you Maine relatives might call that an initiation. My week of glory ended all too fast, but the finale was worth it – a fine parade of sail out of the Patapsco River to the Key Bridge near where Francis Scott Key wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner”. Even on a work day the parade route was lined with thousands of spectators on land and water. I was sand- wiched between the schooner Harvey Carnage and the 191-foot barkentine Dewaruci. Let me tell you, Indonesians sure know how to have risky fun. Dewarud’s sails were furled (no wind), but her marching band played loudly on deck and the crew danced on the yardarms, holding on to thin air. I guess they

Love to all, Wenonah TERN CELEBRATES HER CENTENNIAL Following the Saturday race of the 2000 Marblehead Regatta Tern tied up at the Corinthian float, where admiring sloop owners and Sloop Society members paid hom- age to a lady who had been around since the turn of the last century. A bottle of champagne was smashed over the end of her bowsprit to two cannon shots and she was presented with a silver tray inscribed: TERN Congratulations on reaching Your 100th anniversary. Corinthian Yacht Club August 12, 2000 It isn’t often that a wooden sloop is permitted by a string of affectionate owners to reach such a lofty age, and when that does occur it should not be allowed to go unno- ticed. Congratulations, Tem… May the next 100 years be as pleasant as the ones you are enjoying under the guiding care of your present owner. 8

Standing with my father at Fort Wetherill on Conanicut Island, I saw this spectacular vessel sailing out of Newport. I was speechless.. .well, almost. I said to my father, with all the confidence of a 14-year-old, “Dad, someday I am going to own a sailboat just like that.” Little did I or my father know that there was Friendship sloop history in our family. It was not until I was 25 that in a sailing magazine I saw an unmistakable sister-ship of the boat I had seen off Newport. Now I had a name to go with my dream and I knew what my dream was made of: Maine skill, passion and craftsmanship. In the ensuing years I have sailed many boats but none captured my heart as did that Friendship sloop. In the late 1980s I discovered that Elmer Collemer of Collemer of Camden Boatyard was an ancestor of mine. I noted in Coastal Maine, A Maritime History that Elmer was one of the better boatbuilders on the Maine coast. He built Friendship sloops including Heritage, Schoodic and Cockle as well as schooners in cooperation with Murray Peterson. Elmer had moved to Camden from Scituate, Massachusetts where his family had included ship cap- tains, shipwrights and sailmakers. My love of sailing was in my blood. In 1998 I first heard of the Friendship Sloop Society. Off I drove to the Homecoming Regatta without knowing anyone who would be there. Through the kindness of Sara Beck and Bill Cronin I experienced the joy of sailing a Friendship sloop. They offered me the wheel of Flying Jib on my first time aboard. It was by the Rockland Breakwater that my dream shifted to the possibility of becoming a reality. It was nothing short of a spiritual experience. It was the beginning of a homecoming. I had found a piece of myself I had long sought. In 1999 I again drove to Rockland and my sense of belonging was deepened by Doug and Irene Amsbary. They invited me to sail with them aboard Departure, a Dictator-model Friendship. At the closing ceremonies I decided that in 2000 I would sail to Rockland in my own Friendship sloop. I searched for an Elmer Collemer-built sloop but none was available except Cockle, and she required more restoration than my partner and I could provide. Finally I purchased Mary Eliza and changed her name to Legacy in honor of the legacy of Elmer Collemer and his profound dedication to his craft of wooden boat building. She now joins Tannis, Flying Jib and Rights of Man in our small fleet of Friendship sloops at Salem Willows Yacht Club in Salem, Massachusetts. Although Legacy is far from an original, I feel the joy of sailing one of the most beautifully designed boats afloat. Was it coincidence that 40 years after seeing my first Friendship sloop under sail I sailed Legacy into Rockland harbor on the 40th anniversary of the Friendship Sloop Society? Was it coincidence that this 40th anniversary gathering was the first time in decades a Collemer sloop had participated? Was it coincidence that Legacy had not been at the Rockland gathering for many years and was honored with the Cy Hamlin Welcome Back Award? For me this was a welcome back homecoming long overdue – for Legacy and the Collemer family. Welcome Back! 11

We weighed anchor early and motored out into Grand Manan Channel, the island itself now bold on the eastern horizon. A gentle southwest wind began to blow, so we hoisted sail and set our course, a lovely beam reach, for Southern Head. With the strong current rushing down-channel we sailed crabwise, but the wind blew fair no matter how we shifted our course. As we approached the international boundary, I clambered forward to lash the Canadian Maple Leaf flag to our starboard after-shroud, mak- ing our journey to foreign lands official. In mid-channel I glanced astern and saw that we had snagged a pot warp on the forward edge of our keel. We couldn’t come fully into the wind to shake it off without risking snag- ging it in the propeller, so Dick luffed up a bit while I caught it with the boat hook and managed to break it loose from the keel. But now a new problem arose. I couldn’t unhook the boat hook from the line. The current and ship’s headway kept so much tension on the long and heavy line that we couldn’t get enough slack to disengage it. Both of us grabbed the handle and tried to heave the line in enough so we could twist the hook free. No luck. At last we let go, and the boat hook, lovingly carved by Dick so it would do just that, floated with a foot of the handle sticking up above the waves, obediently waiting for us to sail alongside and pick it up. It took three tries before we succeeded, but was no doubt good man-overboard practice and reminded us that it would be a good idea to paint the last foot of the handle white for greater visibility. 12 PENDLETON SCHOLARSHIP FUND This fund was established in memory of Mr. and Mrs. William Pendleton to help Friendship graduates of Medomak Valley High School continue their educations. Part of the donations to the fund are added to the principal and part allocated to donations. Trustees are volunteers. All donations go directly to the fund. In 2000 five scholarships of $1000 each were awarded. Income from donations, the auction at the Annual Meeting, and miscella- neous sources was $6,839.26. The principal on December 31,2000 stood at $67,092.05.

Shamus works fast. He becomes very focused and lets nothing get in his way. He gets the job done, right or wrong. Shamus can also be a bit impatient and overconfident, but he jumped right in and took charge. In very short order, with the help of the lovely and talented Naomi, Sea Dog was scraped and painted, spars varnished, mast stepped, slung into the water and other- wise made ready for the shake-down cruise. Shamus wanted to sail and he wanted to do it right now. “Let’s get goin’. We’re burnin’ daylight.” It was now time for our first real sail. On board was Ron Zerkowski, three other Great Lakes sailors, and the beautiful Naomi. Shamus Donagain was also aboard. We had to take him. The day was sunny and warm with a steady 15-knot breeze. It was smiles and laughs and a good time with good company. Shamus proposed we toast the boat, crew and the first sail of the season, for good luck. Ron went below and returned with a bottle. “This is for you.” I read the label: “SCREECH, the pre- ferred beverage of Newfoundland sailors.” We raised a mug or two for good luck, but Shamus looked worried. He said it was bad luck not to finish the bottle once it was opened, and we did not pour any overboard for the Old Man of the Sea. It was getting late in the afternoon and time to head in. I took in the sails and motored up the narrow channel. The engine stopped. I restarted it. Again it stopped. We had to be towed to our dock. Embarrassing. After tying up we tinkered, checked fuel lines, pump filters, air in the system. Everything seemed OK. We were tired, greasy and baffled. Shamus mentioned to Naomi that this could have been avoided if we had finished the bottle. Naomi looked skeptical but agreed. When we got home Shamus thought it would be only prudent to finish the bottle of Screech. Just to be safe. The next day we tried again to repair the engine. “Got to be filters,” said Shamus. He knows nothing of mechanics. “Did you check the oil?” inquired Naomi. “Of course I checked the oil. Didn’t I?” For reasons that escape me, I reached down and checked the oil. No oil! “Where is the oil? No oil in the bilge. Where is it? SHAMUS, didn’t you put the oil back when you changed it?” “I thought you changed it?” “WHAT? Well, one of us changed it, and one of us neglected to put oil back in.” So I put some oil in and slowly turned the engine over. It would still only run briefly then die out. 15

She determined to find a real expert. She found one. A very good one. He quickly had the engine out, apart and diagnosed. We had spun the rod bearing and scored the crankshaft. All because we ran the engine and tried to restart it with nothing but old oil residue in the pan. By the time we had the repairs made, the season was finished for Sea Dog. Ron has given me another bottle of Screech, a Christmas gift. Again it was opened but not finished, a test to prove Shamus wrong about his silly superstitions. So far, it has been an above-average year, but for our first sail this year we plan to invite the same crew, share with the Old Man of the Sea, make appropriate toast and, without fail, finish the bottle.

I found an 18-foot wooden sloop, Surprise, for sale on eBay, the web-based auction house. The seller claimed that the boat was built by Phillip Nicholls in 1964.1 knew it was not that boat as that one is a 33-footer now sailing out of Tenants Harbor. I won the bidding and bought the boat for $610. It had a tag on the transom from a marina in Fairfield, Connecticut from 1970. In your book Friendship Sloops you list a sloop named Surprise, no length given, as being owned by a Peter Boback of Fairfield, Connecticut. He confirmed that it was, in fact, the boat he had owned in 1984. He also told me that Sam Vincent had brought the boat from Maine in the early 1960s and in the late 1960s it passed into the hands of Peter Boback’s father, John. He has a copy of a newspaper article with a picture of the builder, Scottie Gannett, standing next to a boat he built named Surprise. On page 75 you list a Surprise as being a Gannett-built sloop, but you also mention that his sloops were all 25-footers. All the evidence I have seems to indicate that Scottie Gannett built the sloop I now own, but I am stumped by the size discrepancies. It is possible that he built more than one Surprise and it is also possible that he did not build this one. Can you direct me to a source for more information about Scottie Gannett or the builder of my boat? She is 19 feet LOD, 6 feet beam, and approximately 3.5 feet draft. The mast is 19 feet tall and she is gaff rigged.

Bancroft Award This award is given in memory of Winthrop Bancroft, owner ofElicia III, and an early and enthusiastic member of the Society. It is awarded to celebrate an unusual contribution to the Friendship tradition. It might recognize an unusual voyage, the launching of a new sloop or the restoration of an old one, the work of a poet, a painter, a model maker. In 2000 it went to Jerry Ross for his outstanding contribu- tion to the Race Committee. Morang Award Given in memory of Bruce Morang, helmsman, Race Committee chairman, year- book editor and writer, this award is given for the best article submitted for publica- tion in the yearbook. In 2000 it went to Alex Forbes for his article “Mountain Sailing.” 19

I understand the boats are pretty.” “What’s a Friendship?” Two weeks later, standing on Al Roberts’s dock completely enveloped in fog and listening to Everett Walker on the loudspeaker saying the sloops were running back to the finish line, we had yet to see a Friendship sloop. Then ghosting out of the fog like a big gossamer butterfly came Tannis. We learned two things: the sloops are beautiful, and you always see Tannis first. Secret came into our lives in 1980. Right from scratch, we learned many things. The first season we went a month with the jib and staysail hanked on the wrong stays. That established our reputation at the Marblehead regatta. Later, my cousin said not to invite her for a sail because she was a disaster on a boat. It was a lovely sail. Just as I reached for the mooring pendant, the engine stopped and a fire began in the cockpit. The wiring har- ness had dropped across the hot manifold and promptly melted into a smoking, sizzling short circuit. Now is was summer, 1990,13 years after we had had our dream for the first time. The regatta in Boothbay Harbor was over and Friday morning dawned sunny and beautiful. Our sons, daughter and grandchildren clambered aboard and we raised the mainsail – destina- tion, Friendship. We reached the gong at Pemaquid Point, headed for the can as Western Egg Rock and then the nun at Harbor Island Rock. Wing on wing, we sailed past Harbor Island, Cranberry Island and Friendship Long Island. What a lovely sight ahead of us! Several other Friendships on the same heading. One was the famous Eastward.

What was That! by Roger F. Duncan Before GPS, before Loran, back in the days of chart and clock and compass, Mary and I in Eastward left Head Harbour, Campobello in dungeon-thick fog bound for Saint John 40 miles away. We were cruising in company with the Cruising Club of America, deep water, offshore people in ocean-goin yachts with sophisticated gear like radar. We were to re-assemble at Saint John and go up the Reversing Falls together. East Quoddy Light disappeared astern and the Cruising Club disappeared ahead. We were alone. We had come on this cruise primarily to gather information for a new edition of A Cruising Guide to the New England Coast. I had edited earlier editions relying on information about the New Brunswick coast from Canadian friends. Now I wanted to see the coast for myself. We couldn’t see much. Indeed, we couldn’t see anything. We chugged along over a calm sea with a bit of a roll, the center of a circle about 40 yards wide, propelled by our trusty Atomic 4 and a 2-3 knot Fundy tide, we guessed. We saw nothing. We heard nothing. However, pretty much on schedule we heard a welcome bleat and The Wolves whistle swam into our circle. Much encour- aged, we took off for the whistle off Point Lepreau. When our clock told us it was about time, we heard the horn on Lepreau and after a course adjustment and a good tossing in the tide rip, found the whistle. Rather pleased with ourselves, we pressed on for the bell on Split Rock another ten miles ahead. On we went, seeing nothing whatever of the New Brunswick coast. When our time ran out, the bell jangled right ahead. We told each other proudly that we were the people for fog navigation. Nothing to it. We passed the bell and headed for the entrance to Saint John harbour, now only ten miles away. Then a loud, long blast, ending in a grunt from out port side. What is this! Where are we? Was that really Split Rock bell? A moment of silence and it came again, very loud and very near. It sounded like a diaphone. A quick look at the Canadian chart on which lights are marked by little purple dots. The only light shown anywhere near was a light at the entrance to Musquash with no fog signal. Again that frightening diaphone. It seemed high up off the water. They don’t put diaphones on steamers do they? We listened for a bow wave… Nothing awful seemed to be happening. The course for Saint John was clear. Somewhat shaken, we pushed on. In due time we re-joined the fleet waiting for slack water at the falls and guided by a local pilot, proceeded to the Royal Kennebecasis Yacht Club at Milledgeville, rather proud of ourselves for having come 40 miles through Fundy tide and Fundy fog, up the turbulent falls to quiet anchorage and pleasant company. Later, we stood in line waiting our turn at the telephone. Out of the inconsequen- tial babble of talk we heard the man ahead of us ask his neighbor, “….but what was that ungodly bellow of a horn we heard off Split Rock? Scared the hell out of us.” “Oh, take it easy. Read Duncan’s book. It’s all in there.” A quick check of the Guide led us to a careful look at the Canadian chart. On Tiner Point just east of Split Rock in small italic type with no purple dot to indicate a light was the note “Fog Alarm”. An author is well advised to read his own book.
