Annual Meeting November 11 at New England Center COVER: A painting by Demetrious Athas, a distinguished marine artist, a sailor and a Friendship sloop owner. He writes: “In the last quarter of the 20th century, marine art has grown in popularity as never before. Great praise goes to those owners and sailors of traditional sailing craft such as Friendships, schooners and cat boats, as they inspire the artists to record the gatherings and races that today will surely be tomorrow’s history.

E-mail: ccebill@tidewater.net The Commodore’s Message Forty Years! The society was founded in 1960, and I have the honor of welcoming you all to the Friendship Sloop Days 2000. I’m sure that Wilbur Morse, one of the original builders of our sloops, would be shocked. I think the society is still thriving for many of the same reasons that the Friendship Sloop is still thriving. The original design of the Friendship Sloop changed slowly and over many years. This is why we have such an ingenious design that could not have come from any instantaneous process. The Society has also slowly evolved with the times. We are not quick to change but do change when the times call for it. I think our move to Rockland was a stroke of genius. Every participant that I hear from has great stories to tell. Our sloop boats were also designed for many different purposes, almost like a pick- up truck. Some carried fish, some lobstered, some became yachts, and some were used to carry passengers. Some stayed in Maine while some went to Massachusetts. The society is also designed for many different purposes. We try to spread the fun and history of sailing Friendship Sloops through our rendezvous from New Haven to Southwest Harbor. We sing, we swap stories, we swap boat parts, we race, we cruise, we take care of each other, and we just plain gather together. And then, somehow, our boats end up in paintings, on postcards and in calendars while we have all that fun – go figure. So come join us for our homecoming in Rockland. Bring your sloops and bring your desire for fun, or just bring your desire for fun. I’m thrilled to have been a part of the society for the past 30 years. I wish I had been there for all 40, but that would’ve been a little difficult in my case. Tad Beck, Commodore

When Bucephalus’s anchorage shifted over 3,000 miles from her birthplace, there were some changes to be considered. Right off, I think we can claim the tallest Friendship sloop rig: our topmast truck stands 6,249 feet above sea level. (So what if the lake level is at 6,220 feet?) But beyond new brag rights, sailing is substantially different here on Lake Tahoe. Tahoe is an utterly unobstructed 22 miles by 12 miles, with a sole enclosed bay and – oh woe! for Maine sailors – only one island. It’s a handsome island, with properly bold granite shores, sitting squarely in the middle of the one enclosed bay. On the bright side, it concentrates the majority of salient navigational attrac- tions in a little less than one square mile. But after braving the washing machine at the entrance to the bay (there are a great many power boats here, and we all know the effects of gasoline fumes on intelli- gence), one wonders if the trip was worth it. The water is crystalline, and the lake floor rises from 800 to 50 feet in about 100 yards, so the white sand and black boulders of the bottom are very clearly – and very abruptly – visible at eight fathoms. This condition still occasions nervous fits for a Maine-raised captain: if you are seeing the bottom, something traditionally “bad” is about to happen. The fits are worsened by a secondary panic at the lack of impending high tide. For some reason, my crew find these moments of mine hilarious. On the bright side, I can tell just exactly how well the anchor has set. There is almost no such thing as a steady breeze. I look longingly at logbook entries from Maine confidently proclaiming “SW 10-15,” only to have them fol- lowed many pages later by “SW-NW 0-5 gusts to 25+.” The Lake may be in clear air at 6,220 feet, but it is ringed with crenelated peaks, some rising to over 10,000 feet. Sailing in New London harbor I was amused by puffs coming down side streets – it is a different matter entirely with the wind “shotgunning” (a local term, and very appropriately descriptive) down Blackwood Canyon. Add the element that the lake is over 1,600-feet deep, and once the breeze kicks up stays steady and starts using all that fetch, the water “moves big.”

HUGE INVENTORY FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE SERVICE We,’II Treat Beyond all else, there are no other gaff rigs, and only one other wooden sail- boat, unseen but rumored to exist. We get a few funny looks, and one modern rac- ing rig politely passed to leeward with the entire crew open-mouthed and utterly speechless. It was very rewarding. And a bit saddening that they had not a clue what they were looking at. I had never even considered that an area with sailboats would not have gaff rigs. It may be difficult for you to imagine how desolate it feels to sail through an anchorage and see no short, solid spars standing in proud anachronism against the clatter of wire on aluminum. To see not a single bronze fitting or spool of spun Dacron in the sole sailboat-catering chandlery. To know that to reply to the question “What kind of boat do you have?” I have to preface it with “a sailboat.” Simply replying “A Friendship sloop” would bring not even a glimmer of comprehension. Do not seek the experience. One day Bucephalus and I will return to Maine. We will smell balsam fir, where we now smell ponderosa pine; rockweed and salt, instead of Tahoe’s near- ly sterile water. We’ll anchor beside islands and swear at them – or their apparent disappearance – when we remember fog-less Tahoe. And we will seek friendships among gaff rigs. Season’s Terminus by Thomas L. Berry Chesapeake Bay off Gibson Island Causeway. A Friendship sloop is motor- ing south at four knots under perfect blue skies on a windless late summer day. Only the sound of water rushing past the hull and the rhythm of the small diesel engine disturb the quiet. The Captain and a mate are taking naps in the cockpit. Two other mates sit aft, one steering, both quietly chatting. Helmsman: “What the. . .?” All four on the boat bolt to their feet. The Captain whips his head forward, expecting to see some disaster. He sees blue sky and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge about three miles away. While turning to ask the helmsman what the commotion is about, he spots two bug-eyed people in the water drifting past the starboard side. Helmsman: “Here!” as he tosses two seat cushions to the stunned people in the water. The Captain is confused. He looks forward again in time to see his vessel’s bowsprit snap in half. Seconds later, an old oxidized blue runabout drifts to starboard with its anchor rode in the water. Captain: “Jesus, Joe, what the hell is going on?” Helmsman: “I never saw them.” Captain: “Weren’t you watching? They were anchored right in front of us.” Helmsman: “Yeah, but I never saw them.” The Friendship circles back to the other boat. The two people are climbing back aboard their boat. Woman on other boat: “Get your (multiple expletives) out of here! Stay 9

They’re the only boat within two miles of us!” The above is not a fictional movie scene. It’s the day Wenonah’s season pre- maturely ended last September. From facts gathered through the other boat’s owner and the Department of Natural Resources police, I’ve determined that the other fellow passed us from astern about 15 minutes before the incident. He dropped his anchor, lounged on the back of his boat while his friend straightened up a few things forward and didn’t see or hear us until the last second. One of them yelled “Jump!” and that they did. Joe heard that order and that’s how we came to the above scene. How did Joe not see the other vessel? His method of keeping a watch con- sisted of 10-20 degree sweeps of the bow to each side of our course. You bet I was angry when I heard this. I said, “You’ve got to stand up and look. Wenonah’s bow flares up, the hatches are up, the sails are furled and covered, you’re sitting low – you’ve got to stand up and look.” In all the years we’ve sailed together I had never heard of his keeping a watch in this manner. Over 50 years of boating experience was sitting beside the helm and both pairs of eyes failed to see the only vessel within two miles. For 15 minutes they saw nothing! The odd thing about all this is that the boats’ hulls never touched. Wenonah’s bobstay hammered into the runabout’s stern rail, breaking it and stress-fracturing a bit of the transom about the size of an open hand. That’s all. Poor Wenonah lost her bowsprit, a bobstay and a spreader. I simply thank God her sails weren’t up or all hell would have broken loose. I’m also thankful that no one was injured or worse. Although the woman clearly was in shock we made quite sure she was otherwise fine, before meekly limping away directly to the boatyard. Wenonah has a new bowsprit and a new spreader. I’ve forgiven Joe. You can’t discard a 17-year friendship over one accident. This season looks as if it may start early on the Bay. But I’m still going to be skittish about taking any naps on Wenonah, no matter who’s driving.

Stiles From Friendship Sloops: “Another of Eugene McClain’s boats, Myrtle E.. was sold after a year of fishing to Reverend Nehemiah Boynton of Five Islands . . .She was decked over, given a nice cabin, ballasted with lead and used as a yacht for many years under the name, Sky Pilot. In December 1949 she sank at her winter mooring. She was raised by Frank L. Sample, Jr. of Boothbay Harbor and ballasted with 9,000 axe heads.” At this point, Mr. Stiles picks up the story: My father, Hamilton W. Stiles, bought the boat shortly after it was raised and given the name both my brother and I considered an embarrassment of sorts. Unfortunately, the graceful name Sky Pilot was retained by the owner. During the summer of 1950 the boat was refitted with a new mast, sails (other than the main) and a knotty pine interior. The coal-burning Shipmate stove and oven was retained and no electronics were ever added other than a VHP radio. As he had two strong and not too bright sons, Dad did not see any reason to add winches or downhauls, lazyjacks or any other confusing gear that might affect the integrity of the original boat. The biggest arguments between my brother and me concerned who was to shinny out on the bowsprit to haul in the jib. Getting completely submerged off Block Island or Cape Cod was not unusual. I should mention that Dad had never owned a sailboat before and we did not (justifiably, I think) have great confidence in the skipper when the wind piped up. I recall to this day the feeling of being delivered 20 feet off the starboard side during an uncontrolled jibe in 1952. We also discovered after our first season that most of Jolly Buccaneer’s rudder had gone missing, which might explain the boat’s reluctance to turn during the frequent “man over- board” drills. This earned us the coveted “Yellow Water” trophy from the Norwalk Yacht Club. In 1953 we departed Block Island and sailed outside around the Cape. A couple of days on the stone wharf in Rockport gave several amateur painters the opportunity to combine Motif No. 1 and a Friendship sloop on one canvas. We traded a bottle of whiskey for ice and lobsters in Kennebunkport, and entered Boothbay Harbor under full sail. A great day for my father and all of us, really. When my brother and I went off to college and were less available for crew- ing and maintenance, our parents could no longer handle Jolly Buccaneer. They sold her and bought a Concordia yawl in 1955. The end of Jolly Buccaneer always bothered my father. He had retired to Stuart, FL and passed by the boat on several occasions while cruising the Inland Waterway. 13

I dip my feet in the icy water That splashes over the side. It’s freezing Yet it’s such a beautiful day Perfect for sailing. The sun beats down Warm as ever And creates a wondrous glow That makes the water shimmer As though it were alive. A seal pops up In front of the boat Then dives under the water Without a sound Leaving only ripples behind him. I lean back And look up. There’s not a cloud in the sky But there are many birds Flying overhead. We keep sailing On and on Until it’s time to head home. Then we turn the boat around And go back the way we came. A dark cloud covers the sky. The wind starts to blow in gusts. The waves roll higher Tossing the boat around. As it starts to rain. There are no more seals Or birds Flying overhead. The sun has been covered By a dark ugly blanket. No one else is out on the water now. The rain stings as it hits my skin. We all feel sick Except for Daddy Who never gets sick on a boat. We are forced to take the sail down And turn on the engine. We chug back to the shore Leaving the tossing waves behind us Then drive back home out of the rain. That night As I lie in bed I remember the wonderful beautiful dreadful day. 17

Captain’s Log By Tom Halsted Here are a few excerpts from the log of Dick Dudman’s Freedom. He and Tom Halsted circumnavigated Swans Island in August 1999. The wind in Blue Hill Bay was fluky. Between gusts we were plagued by lozens of nasty little biting flies, which made a bee- (or fly-) line for our mkles. I was wearing black socks, Dick, white ones, but it didn’t seem to nake a difference to the little devils. They bit hard, they drew blood. The bites stung, too. We cursed them, we flailed at them with our hats, we slapped inef- fectually with open palms, and we tried to get them any way we could, with ittle success. Dick rolled up a newspaper, but could make little headway. Then I rolled up a copy of The Nation containing an article we had been dis- :ussing, and took aim. Whack, a hit, a palpable hit! Whack. Another kill. Whack. A near miss, >ut the shock wave stunned the fly long enough for Dick to stomp on it (smear- ng ex-fly and the blood it had extracted from one of us onto the cockpit sole) >efore it had a chance to recover its senses and fly away. The magazine was leadly. It seldom missed. The lesson was clear: while it takes a village to raise L child, it takes a Nation to kill a fly. . . In the early morning darkness I went on deck to find the half-moon had set .nd the sky was afire with a billion stars. The Milky Way swept straight over- lead from east to west, dividing the sky in two. The Big Dipper lay low in the lorthern sky, the close-packed seven sisters – the Pleiades – twinkled over my houlder. I could make out Cassiopeia and Polaris, and broad-backed Orion tad shouldered his way out of the sea to the east. Dozens of other constella- ions whose names I couldn’t quite remember looked down. Dozens more looked up from the sea around us. Without a breath of air ‘lowing, without a ripple on the silky sea, every star above, every constella- Lon, had a glittering counterpart reflected from below. Freedom floated in the enter of a sparkling sphere of light, broken only by the dark bulk of islands efining the horizon. With daylight came a challenge. At 7:30 we got under way, under power, lot a whisper of breeze, but a strong current rushed us away from our moor- ig and out toward the passage between the islands. Midway along, a lobster uoy loomed up directly in our path. With a rocky shore close by on the star- oard bow, Dick swerved to port. The current was running out of the bay at a peed of at least two knots, however; we were swept down on the buoy. Dick irew the engine into neutral immediately, to avoid wrapping the potwarp around the shaft, but it was too late: the line jammed tight between the keel and the rudder, and Freedom came to an abrupt stop. Evidently, the lobster pot was wedged against a rock below, making an effective anchor. The solution was pleasantly simple, and good exercise besides: Dick got in the dinghy, I lowered the anchor into its stern, he rowed about 50 yards back up-current, trailing the anchor rope behind him while I fed it to him from the foredeck. When the line’s 175-foot marker had slipped through my hands, I shouted to Dick to drop the anchor over the side, threw a loop over the bitts, and began hauling in the line. The anchor held fast, Freedom swung around to port, I hauled her forward about 20 feet, and the lobster buoy popped up to starboard, its line undamaged. Dick got back aboard, re-started the engine and drove slowly forward while I retrieved rope and anchor. He claimed that the hard rowing did him good, and I claimed to feel the same about hauling sev- eral tons of sloop against the fast moving current. Sea Dog By Greg and Naomi Grundtisch Greg writes: “Naomi couldn’t wait to try out some of the new tools I had gotten for her this year. She began work on Sea Dog weeks ago and she’s ahead of schedule, so we are looking forward to our return trip to Rockland. 8 19

BURNHAM BOAT BUILDING & DESIGN TEADITIONAL WOODEN VESSELS FOR COMMERCIAL PASSENGER AND PLEASURE USE SLOOP BOAT CHARTERS • SAIL MAKING Essex MA Tel. (978) -768-2569 20 Ralph W. Stanley, Master Boatbuilder In October 1999 Ralph Stanley, builder and rebuilder of many of our Friendship sloops, was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts in recognition of his contribution to the art of wooden boatbuilding. The following are excerpts from the NEA’s profile of Ralph: The traditional craft of building boats involves the shaping of wood in a marriage of form and function to create a vessel intended to occupy a space where wind and water intersect. . . Ralph W. Stanley has built and/or restored countless wooden boats, ranging from lobstering vessels to racing sloops and pleasure yachts over the course of his career. Born in Bar Harbor, on Maine’s Mt. Desert Island, he descended from a long line of mariners. His paternal great-grandfather was the owner and master of fishing schooners and his maternal great-grandfather was the captain of a three-masted schooner. He grew up in Southwest Harbor and as a child he made toy boats out of wood and drew boats that he saw in the harbor. He often went along when his lobsterman father hauled his traps. Ralph learned about boatbuilding by watching local boatbuilders. He started his first boat, a 28-foot lobster boat, in 1951. This launched a career that has moved from the building of working vessels to the crafting of racing and pleasure boats, but one that has maintained as one constant a meticulous attention to fine work- manship, as well as to traditional process and design. At the heart of Ralph Stanley’s commitment to tradition is his dedication to the wooden boat. With the advent of fiberglass, many of the makers of work- ing lobster boats switched to this synthetic material because it made the boats cheaper and easier to maintain. For Ralph Stanley the choice to remain with cedar, oak and pine was made for both aesthetic and practical reasons – he wanted to maintain the centuries-old skills involved in working with wood but he also realized that building fiberglass boats from pre-manufactured molds limits the maker’s creative opportunities for improvement. He says: “Building wooden boats is like climbing a still-growing tree where you never get to the top. I wouldn’t want to be stuck at some point. I keep finding new ways of doing thing and new things to do. You can always improve”. . .Working in wood allows Stanley to combine a deep-seated respect for heritage with a dogged urge to make things better and to make better things . . . One commentator has noted that “every artist compares his/her work with that of contemporaries; Ralph Stanley compares his work with that of his pred- ecessors over two centuries.”.. .As Ralph himself says: “building a boat is like painting a painting. It’s not something you just do; it’s something you see in your mind. You need to have your own ideas and you need to have confidence in them.” 21

They are soft, silent, and easy to manage. Comparing their natural feel and sound to modern Dacron is like comparing a wooden boat to a plastic one. I had always dreamed of making a suit of canvas sails for Chrissy, but good can- vas is hard to procure and Dacron has its advantages. So last year, when I added sailmaking to the list of my father’s hob- bies, I turned to a new material. Oceanus was developed by North Sails in conjunction with an East Boothbay sail- maker, Nat Wilson. It is made with Dacron fibers but simulates canvas and was highly recommended by Bob Douglass and Sara Beck. I have made three sets of sails using Oceanus: one for the historic Chebacco boat Lewis H. Story, which I designed and built for the Essex Shipbuilding Museum; one for the Friendship sloop Kim which I built in 1992; and one for Chrissy. I cut the sails in the traditional manner and they have brought com- pliments from everyone who has seen them. The color and texture of the cloth is wonderful and my experience with Oceanus has been as pleasurable on the water as it has been in the loft. Although, on a good day nothing compares with the softness of pure cotton, in rain or wet going I prefer Oceanus as it doesn’t absorb water, is silent, soft, and falls into the lazyjacks or on to the bowsprit without fuss. As for its per- formance, I am sure there are reasons why America’s Cup defenders don’t use it, but Friendship sloops just aren’t that type. On traditional craft, having your sails properly designed and set is far more important than what they are made of. Anyone with a traditional boat who is worried about the performance of his sail material would do better to buy a new boat than a new set of sails. Nat Wilson tells me that Oceanus has long extruded Dacron fibers running one way. Woven across these are shorter soft fibers spun into yarns. Oceanus is quite stable and stretches very little in the direction of the long fibers. A good sailmaker will design a sail accordingly. – Editor. 23

A tree? People unquestionably referred to it as a tree. Yet it stood barely five feet tall, not even a real bush in reality. This wisp had been spirit- ed aboard by the skipper’s wife during his absence ashore. He did not notice this escapee from the land, huddled alone on deck on the port quarter, until the vessel had slipped out to sea. Soon thereafter, discussions concerning the fate of the tree had become more and more direct between the skipper and his mate. This all came to a head when the ol’ man proposed to re-enact a particular scene from Mr. Roberts. The first mate, nonplussed, gently reminded her hus- band that such action might appease him for the moment, but would have a definitely negative effect upon their personal relationship. Accordingly, the little green thicket remained onboard as the vessel churned toward Rockland. The tree was proud and contented. Its fonds swayed gently above the water, dancing in the breezes that powered the graceful Friendship sloops, as they, too, set their courses for Rockland and the Annual Homecoming. All was well with the diminutive tree until the vessels were all secured to the Rockland town floats. Where it had formerly looked down upon the water’s surface, the tiny tree was now buried below a forest of masts. It felt very small and forlorn. Passers-by noticed the tree and felt sad for its unfor- tunate state. However, amongst the crowd was a gathering of young adults from sloops unknown, who daringly elected to amend this sorry situation. Late one evening they stole aboard and stealthily removed the tree from its lowly site. They had a far better idea for the proper location in which it should reside. The next day the Parade of Sloops was scheduled. Tourists and townsfolk alike came to the harbor’s edge to view the state- ly sloops as they sailed past in review. It was a magnificent sight and everyone com- mented so. Then someone pointed toward the sky, up above the Chamber of Commerce Building. Heads turned and eyes searched skyward. And what a sight they did see! There, far above their heads, perched in state on the spreaders of the town’s flagpole, was a very proud tree. Its fronds now swayed high above the mast tops and the peaks of the surrounding spruce trees. The little palm tree had become a really tall tree indeed!

The Pendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund A fund to help Friendship students continue education after high school was established in 1983 by Bill Pendleton, skipper of Black Jack, in recognition of the town’s history and tradi- ion and in appreciation of its help to the Society. After Bill’s death, the fund was named for lim and his wife. Interest from the principal goes to scholarships, and donations go partly to scholarships and jartly to building the principal. Seven Friendship graduates from Medomak Valley High School were awarded scholarships in 1999 and five former graduates received continuing aid. ^n 1999 $4,850 was awarded and the principal now amounts to a little over $72,000. In view )f the staggering cost of education, while this aid is certainly welcome, it is a regrettably small imount. Donations are very welcome. Checks should be sent to the Rev. David Bell, 35 Bumpkin Cove Road, New Harbor, ME 04554. The trustees of the Fund miss the leadership of the late Elbert Pratt, a trustee since the ‘und’s inception, and will miss, too, Capt. Bill Zuber, Chairman, who will supervise the con- itruction of a new school-ship for Sea Education Association on the West Coast.

With great pride and satisfaction I can say to you and the members of the association that after two years and seven months of an intense work, I accom- plish a happy end at last. Considering that my country is “at the end of the world,” all the hardware that I needed I had to bring it from the USA. It has been fascinating to know through the phone, fax, etc. people with so good dis- position to help me in my doubts and always ready to know if I received what I asked for. . .As you well know, I am a grape grower and my farm is located in a semi-desert region with great difference in the day and night temperatures made me launch the Maria Emilia in a small reservoir from which I pump the water to irrigate my vines. It was incredible to see a Friendship sloop floating in this small area of water from one side surrounded by vines and with cactus on the other. Unfortunately the planking over the water line began to open. I had to take a drastic decision and take the boat to the ocean side at night time pulling it with my old Blazer truck. It took about three hour by night in order to avoid the heat during the day (the humidity average in this area is around 45%). After two weeks I gave the final touches in painting, varnish and making sure that all the wood captured all the moisture needed. The launching was a great spectacle. I make sure to invite all the naval authorities of the area, friends and family. After the champagne bottle was broken (by my grandchild Maria Emilia three years old) the Pisco sours (our national drink) and empanadas with red wine, everybody admired the [^•5″BBT ! * “^.n^T*’ fa 4′ lines and finishings of r ‘-• • «? •< ***r / this beautiful floating jewel.
