Haley In 1980 Clement Mclver decided it was time to realize a dream. He had long admired the classic lines of the Friendship sloop, had seen sloops sailing Maine’s coastal waters and had an office wall covered with paintings of Friendship sloops. He was torn between his love for the lines of a Friendship and his urge to own and sail a schooner. The search for a boat and a builder brought Clement Mclver to Maine, where he met Jarvis Newman in Southwest Harbor, who suggested that it might be possible to rig a 31-foot Dictator hull as a schooner. Mr. Mclver turned to naval architect Bob Wallstrom of Blue Hill to see if this would work. Bob and Ralph Stanley drew up a plan for a gaff- rigged schooner. She was designed with 5,000 pounds of ballast and an unusually high aspect rig for a schooner, to mitigate the difficulty of sailing a schooner of less than 40 feet to weather. The engine was placed as far aft as possible and had a custom gear arrangement to transfer the drive to the shaft. The cockpit was smaller than in a traditional Friendship to give more space for the cabin. The cabin has a vee berth forward, with an enclosed head to port and a hanging locker to starboard. The main cabin is next aft with port and starboard transom berths and pilot berths outboard. The galley is aft to port, and oppo- site is a navigation station. The hull and deck were molded by Jarvis Newman and then turned over to Malcolm “Mac” Pettegrew of Southwest Harbor for interior work and all the systems installation. Wayne Lanning of Camden built the masts and Fortune Sails made the sails. Quintessence was launched in 1983 and was originally rigged with mainsail, foresail, staysail and jib. Later, a fisherman staysail was added and, in 1990, a topsail. The bowsprit was shortened to make it easier to work the headsails. Andy Scherding, Mr. Mclver’s son-in-law, states, “Under sail the boat has proved to be steady and extremely comfortable. Her displacement of nearly eight tons gives her a wooden-boat feel and provides a stable platform…The schooner rig does reduce her pointing ability by several degrees from what a sloop-rigged boat could achieve, and her speed and style upwind can best be described as ‘workmanlike’. However, on any sort of a reach, the Quintessence screams.” He says she has been clocked at 10 knots in a 20 mph wind. The vessel was sailed over the past 15 years by her owner as a day sailer with 12

She was berthed on the Cape and sailed along the Cape shore and the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. In 1992 Quintessence took part in the Parade of Sail in Boston and proudly escorted the tall ships. Mr. Mclver sailed her until he passed away in 1996, and Quintessence is now look- ing for a new owner – one who cannot make up his mind whether he wants a Friendship sloop or a schooner. Great Boat, Perfect Wife – Perfect Wife, Great Boat by Greg Grundtisch My wife, Naomi, and I are the proud new owners of sloop #141, built by James Hall in 1974. We began our quest for Sea Dog last spring with an ad for a sloop in Rhode Island we could almost afford. There were about a dozen calls to owners of various other boats, finally ending in Jonesport, Maine. Then, there she was – in Mr. Frank Agosta’s front yard. I’ve always loved old sailboats, especial- ly working ones. Since marrying me, Naomi has taken on the love affair as well. Like these special boats, Naomi has a distinctive, ele- gant appeal, is full of class, charisma and character. From her proud clipper bow, per- fectly proportioned beam, and unique shapely stern you just can’t take your eyes off her. She has superb sheer, shape and form. Her maker had an excellent sense of tradition and beauty, producing a work of art that is the epitome of grace. The boat is quite nice, also. Naomi would rather look at old boats or wander through boatyards than shop at the mall. She would rather buy tools or boat parts than jewelry. She would prefer to sand and scrape the hull rather than go out to dinner. Okay…she would rather go out to dinner – no one’s perfect. But she’s always a will- ing worker when it comes to this boat and sacrifices much for it. She is quite tolerant of an “off the wall” husband who is rather obsessed with boats. Not only that…she has taken on the obsession herself. My passion for both is endless. I have a near perfect wife and the boat I’ve (we’ve) always wanted. It doesn’t get much better. I’ve got to be the luckiest dog on the dock; and, by the way, our sloop is named Sea Dog after a pub we stopped at in Camden on our way home from Jonesport. It was a memorable evening of ‘yards of ale’, a little food and | lots of fun. The boat was structurally sound but needed a new I mast and bowsprit, some cosmetic work and a few minor repairs. In December we finally got the boat out of our driveway and into a yard on Lake Erie, much to the relief of our neighbors, the town fathers and an under- employed code-enforcement officer, stridently sent away by Naomi. With luck, reasonable weather and a few lessons in boat restoration, we hope to have Sea Dog re-1 launched by mid-June, after six years out of the water.

Call Bob Sherman Corea, Maine (207) 963-7519 Rich and Sally Mosher’s Excellent Adventure at The Corinthian Yacht Club by Sally Mosher Sad times at the Mosher house! Richard was too busy to make it to Friendship Sloop Days. I, Sally, heard him in his office, chained to the computer and moaning mourn- fully to himself like Bob Cratchit slaving away at Scrooge & Marley’s. “You know,” I suggested, “Friendship season isn’t over. There’s still the Corinthian Yacht Club race.” Richard sighed, “I dunno. Hangin’ around all those snooty fiberglass yacht owners, wearin’ a captain’s hat and blazer like that guy on Gilligan’s Island…” Flash forward to Marblehead. Upon entering Marblehead Neck, we noted with awe that the ‘cottages’ lining the road were larger than the public library back in Kalamazoo, Michigan. And there it was! The venerable Corinthian Yacht Club, spread out like a New England grey-shuttered fortress. We crept up the carpeted steps and tiptoed into a foyer where we were bedazzled by gleaming wood floors and a three-story curved staircase. I had visions of yachting princesses floating down the stairs to flirt with guys named Reggie or Montfort. Richard winced at the sign posted on the dining room door: “Guests are requested to wear proper attire in the dining room and the Trophy Room after 6:00, and hats must be removed indoors.” The Trophy Room loomed to the left. It was a cavernous repository of yachting his- tory, complete with burnished wood paneling, overstuffed furniture, musty Corinthian Yacht Club yearbooks, oil paintings of famous old ships, and multitudinous trophies. I gingerly pulled out the 1929 yearbook. Fifty trophy winners in classic “Babes at Sea” boating attire smiled -jaunty and carefree – at the camera, oblivious of the 1929 Stock Market Crash. Time to check in! We were greeted by a Very Friendly Desk Lady who urged us to see about having some lunch. The dining room with its white-clothed tables and gleaming table settings seemed a bit formal so we walked out on the porch, which stretched around the back and two sides of the building. The view was phenomenal! Richard looked furtively for another Friendship sloop sailor. “Where are our friends?” he whined. “They probably got becalmed and had to motor,” I suggested. “Let’s go eat at the snack bar.” Richard had a hot dog and I had a swim in the large Corinthian pool. But still no Friendship sloops. Around five o’clock the sloops began to appear. Soon Richard and I were happily amidst the quirky, unique gang which abides at the hard core of True Historic Boat Believerhood: The Friendship Sloop Owners. The management at the Corinthian was genuinely glad to see this group. The bar- tenders wore tuxedos, and David Graham, the Race Chairman at the Corinthian, wore a coat and tie, but the raggle-taggle sloop owners, mostly dressed as usual for a nor’easter instead of a night at The Club, were actually treated like old friends. In fact, 17

The next morning there was coffee and doughnuts for the Participants, and the Trophy Room was the perfect place for the skippers’ meeting. We raced with Roger Lee on Sazerac and spent two glorious days battling intermittent winds, ornery tides, non-visible markers, and lurking rocks. There was the usual Friendship Race scenario: Tannis pulled way ahead of the pack and nobody’s nose got seriously out of joint about how they placed. The. one new glitch was that everyone seemed to be using a GPS to find the markers. The Race Committee, headed by David Graham, impeccably dressed, were situated on Messing About. The view through our binoculars indicated that they were having immense fun. After Day One was The Banquet. The Corinthian Staff had thoughtfully reserved a private room for us so we wouldn’t have to endure the humiliation of being busted for entering The Trophy Room without Proper Attire. The dinner was First Class Cuisine: gourmet salad, perfectly grilled meat, sauteed veggies, and heavenly chocolate mousse. And what about entertainment? The best kind for sloop owners! Harold Burnham put on a slide show detailing how he built a 65-foot scaled-down version of a Gloucester fishing schooner in record time. Unfortunately, we had to leave right after the second race so we missed the Awards Ceremony. “We MUST come back here again,” I sighed as we drove out of Marblehead Neck. “And maybe bring DaystarT Richard ventured. In the meantime, if our local Lake Michigan marina ever decides to expand its facilities, which consist of a bath-house and a parking lot, they’ve gotta have a Trophy Room. The Pendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund The Pendleton Fund, established in 1966, awards scholarships to graduating Friendship seniors. In 1997 the Board of Trustees awarded $7,100 to eight graduates. Since the inception of the Fund, 125 students have been awarded scholarships. After graduating from Bowdoin with honors, one recent recipient has earned a Ph.D. in sta- tistics. Others are lawyers, ministers, teachers and management executives in major companies. Still others have continued the maritime traditions of Friendship. In 1997 $2,194.30 was added to the Fund through individual donations from mem- bers of the Society, from bottle refunds collected at the Homecoming races, from the auction at the annual meeting, and from the Society’s appropriation of $400. Almost half again as much, $3,085, was given by generous residents of Friendship. The Trust Fund now exceeds $74,000. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP. Donations may be sent to treasurer: Rev.

I Duck by Howe Derbyshire The name of Wilbur Morse is, of course, familiar, but one should not overlook his jrother, Charles Morse, who built in Thomaston many sloops, yachts and larger fishing vessels. All the Morse brothers possessed an eye for beauty, ability and speed, which neans excellence at sea. In 1933, my brother and I were looking for something more substantial than the row- Doats in which we had learned to sail. I remember one afternoon Charles Morse met us n his big shop where he was building an Alden schooner. He took us to the sail loft next 😮 his shop and there in a corner, tilted on to her starboard bilge and looking as lonely and ‘orlorn as only a dismasted sailboat ashore can look, lay this hull. Even in this unpre- possessing place could one see capability and beauty in her lines: the gentle sheer curve, he fine bow, the power of her quarters. As Joseph Conrad wrote, “One feels it is good to ?e in the world in which she has her being.” To make a long story short, we bought her Ight then and there. Now take a look at what we had bought: an 18-foot gaff-rigged, spoon-bowed, cen- erboard sloop drawing 18 inches, and four feet with the board down. She was the kind hey used for lobstering when the catch was to be had in among the islands. When the obsters thinned out inshore and men had to go out beyond Burnt Island and the Gunning ^ocks Shoal to Roaring Bull, they needed bigger boats for the winter fishing and the friendship sloops were generated. I have thought that mine may be the last of the Vluscongus Bay sloops. When we bought her, she carried a wig-wag jib, which had a boom with a hook amid- ihips, which tucked into an eyebolt on the stem-head with a short single sheet cleated just brward of the mast. It was really a device to offset the urgency she felt to come into the vind. Two heavy thwarts braced the centerbox fore and aft, and there was a wide seat ithwartships at the tiller. She has narrow six-inch-wide decks and a guard, which fisher- nen call a cheeserind, and a mainmast stepped in a thwart just behind the three-foot fore- leek. Her motor power was, and still is, a pair of nine-foot ash oars. There are rowlocks vhich fit into the guard top, but I have preferred to scull with one oar over the starboard ruarter. There is a bail-hole in the deck astern, but I have installed a bilge pump under he stern seat. >0 My friend, Rodney Davis, who used to make sails for sloops in Port Clyde back in the ‘teens and twenties and made me the best mainsail I ever had, never liked to sail unless the water between home and Burnt Island was white with wind. One day when the wind was strong enough for him, he took me out in Duck to “warm her,” and when we were out near Burnt Island, he said, “You never saw anyone haul pots in a sloop, did you? No? I have a string out here. Let me show you.” He started the main sheet a trifle and tied a slip knot up at the boom. The wig-wag was already set. He swung up to the first buoy so that he took up the slack in the pot warp as she ranged forward and, just as we were over the pot, held her off and broke the pot loose from the bottom. As we held off in a long curve and jibed over, the pot came alongside and in over the quarter. He removed a lobster as we ranged forward and dropped the pot exactly where we had broken it out, held her off and headed for the next pot. We hauled six in that wind and sea as delicately and gently as if it had been a mild breeze and, what is more, he never touched a sheet or tiller with his hands. The sheets were tied, and he steered with his behind or knees, and by shifting his weight. It was all smooth, calm and orderly from start to finish. My health does not any longer permit me to take care of Duck or to sail her as she ought to be sailed: hard, fast and often. Further, I have an interior conviction that some- where in the Friendship community there must be either a sailor or a beginning sailor looking for a small sloop, or an older sailor looking for an exciting retirement, or a sailor with a growing family who wants to ensure that the youngster(s) will follow in his or her wake, and if his love of sailing is great enough, why, then… the aposiopesis is warm and inviting, and I hope someone will take me up on it. This excerpt is taken from a much longer article, giving more of Duck’s history and renovation; we regret that we could not publish all of it. Mr. Derbyshire is a resident of Port Clyde. The Recipe That Lost The Race by Mary Cronin At Ann and Al Beck’s beautiful home on Carvers Harbor, Ann often serves a wonder- ful dip which she pours over cream cheese. There is never a bit left! When I asked Ann for her recipe, she handed me one already written out and enclosed in a plastic zip bag. During a race at the Marblehead Regatta, I served Ann’s recipe, which she calls ‘Jezebel’. Our crew and friends loved it and requested that I share the recipe with them. I went below with one of our friends and for the life of us we could not locate that recipe. We looked up, down, over and under.. .No ‘Jezebel’. About that time, the Captain came down the ladder and asked what we were doing down there? Sheepishly, I tried to explain that we were looking for a recipe. Well, let me tell you – that did not set well with the Captain! “The wind is breezing up and my move- able ballast is down here looking for a recipe,” he growled. He was not happy! Quickly, we moved our ballast topsides and joined the rest of the crew. I do not under- stand how he missed us with all the other people on deck. We came in third over all during the two days of racing. When I asked why, the Captain did not say, “Tad Beck on Phoenix sailed a better race,” and he did not say, ” My son Wayne Cronin on Rights of Man sailed a better race.” Instead, he kept muttering something about his “ballast down below hunting for a dumb recipe.” Webster’s dictionary defines ‘Jezebel’ as an impudent or shamed woman. What a great name for that dip, Ann. 21

Submitted by Betty Roberts “Hi, Stan, What you doin’ up so early?” “Lo, Tom, Just waitin’ for the fog to lift so’s I can go to haul. Are you goin’ to try to haul?” “Not plannin’ to. Got to take my old lady to Rockland to get her teeth fixed. She broke ’em last night eating some of her peanut brittle.” “Think the fog will lift so I can go haul?” “Well, there’s only once it never cleared up, but you might be a mite older ‘fore it does.” “How many lobsters did you get yesterday?” “Didn’t get either one. Hardly worth my time, but sure was a pretty day. Can you remember the time when that ocean bottom was just bulging with lobsters? In the old days, that Old was covered with the crawling creatures. They looked so bad, they thought they would die if they ate ’em.” “My grandfather used to tell me that people fed them to the cats ’til it was discov- ered they were good enough to eat. Then you could buy them for four cents apiece. It would take a heck of a lot of ’em at that price to buy one of those new-fangled boats the lobstermen haul with today.” “Ayeh, sure would. My Granpa told me those old-timers first lobstered from a round-sided dory-type boat and years later came to a Friendship sloop. Imagine haul- ing traps with a sloop! Hauling traps, handling that big sail, keeping your eye on the shore and the weather and looking out for the rocks.” “I know it. That sail would be enough for me. My Cramps told me when he was a boy he wanted to go lobstering, but his parents would not let him because he could not swim. So he made a trap and took it to the shore at low tide, waded out with it and left it to the next low tide. Then he would go back and probably find he had one or two lobsters. Imagine so many lobsters that they would be that close to shore!” “You might say he fished with one trap. How many are most fishermen hauling now?” “Heard Bill is hauling ’bout 500 but the law has set a limit of 1,200. You know, it takes me all day to manage a couple hundred. Guess my age is showing. Talk about heavy, have you seen the new traps they are using? They are two feet by four feet and weigh at least a ton. For heavens sake, I wouldn’t be able to pull it on to the stern of my boat. Maybe not even able to get it off the floor of the ocean.” “Hey, do I hear a boat motor? Must be Mike thinks he is going out.” “Did I ever tell you the story about the Lady from away that wanted to buy a lobster on Sunday? Well, she came waltzing down the wharf yoohooing and said, ‘You are closed, aren’t you, but can I buy a lobster?’ What could I do? So I asked her how many she wanted. Seems she wanted ONE ’cause her husband did not like them. You know 23

I was sorry for the poor old soul so I rowed out to my lobster car hanging behind my boat. I got the crate out of the water, untied it, got a lobster, tied it up, put it back in the water, grabbed the lobster and went back to shore. When I got to shore, darned if she met me and said she guessed she wanted two. Darned if I didn’t have to do the whole thing over again. When I got back, those two lobsters were crawling and squirming all over the place. You know what that lady said to me? ‘Are you sure they are fresh?’ Can you believe it?” “Listen – sounds like Mike is coming back so I guess you won’t go out today. He must have got his senses back.” “Well, I got to get the wife and head for Rockland. By the way, you going to see the Friendship sloop races?” “Think I will. They sure bring back fond memories.

The mists enwrap the unfrequented moors And mounting tide binds beach with dune and lea. A lone yoke-burdened figure clumps ashore Today. Old “Marshy” Mayhew toils to reach His thrashing lobster traps, seaweed, stones, For tomorrow’s festive clambake on the beach. He prophesies a golden morrow, with scent Of bay bush, beach plums, juniper on the shore; But this leaden day he sniffs is ocean born, Reverberating in from Labrador. With worn sou’wester sheltering his pipe and beard He leans against the stiffening of the gales: A figurehead, on the overhanging bow Of Horn-bound clipper with raking masts and sails. Behind – his cranberry bogs, his heathered hills, Nantucket Town, the elms and cobbled streets, The fence-topped mansions of a century ago – His grandsires’ gloried age of whaling fleets. Tomorrow he will be “Old Marshy” famed Crustacean expert up and down the coast; Noisy off-islanders will crowd the shore – Expecting local color from the host. He waits and watches, as a seaman will, The Lightship’s beacon. Her bell-buoy pounds to land. Reminding Captin Jethro Coffin Mayhew; Unyoked, he starts the clambake on the sand.
The Boat by George D.J. Griffin III, M.D. I have the joy and privilege of owning a 33-foot Friendship sloop, Surprise, #49, built by Phil Nichols of Round Pond in 1964. When I purchased the boat in March, 1997, a sur- vey was done and it was apparent that major work was needed. Work began in early January, 1998. The boat was sanded to bare wood and refas- tened. The estimate of about 2,000 screws was very close. Final count was 2,200. “She’s much less likely to sink now,” I was told. With the planks pulled up tight, the fairing, recaulking and painting could be done. While the refastening was being done, work on the electronics and wiring was start- ed. Most of the wiring would be “neatened up” (read replaced). On deck, the forward port cabin wall was repaired and finish work on the Samson post and the deck above it was completed. A larger area of the forward decking needed to be replaced than had been planned. Before the boat was painted, attention turned to the steering gear, rudder and engine. All of this involved labor so none of it was cheap, but so far, everything was being completed nearly on time and close to budget. Then I got the PHONE CALL. “Doc, there’s good news and bad news.” (Oh, this is going to hurt.) “Okay, Peter, how much?” “Well, a lot less than if we had to haul the boat in midseason to do the repairs.” “What’s wrong?” “Remember when we pulled the boat, we talked about looking for the leak of water Doming from the box for the steering gear and rudder? Well, I found it. The bad news is, the rudder is very loose and is about to fall off the boat.” “Oh?” “Yeah, the shoe of the keel is rotten. That will need to be replaced, with a cast-bronze fitting and strapping plates to hold it onto the sternpost and keel. Otherwise the rudder will fall off in midseason.” “OK.” “Well, that isn’t all. I noticed some oil floating in the bilge when we were removing :he water. So we needed to check the transmission.” “O.K.” “We have some problems with the engine, too.” “Like?” “Well, you know the hoses and the belts were bad?” (This is a typical Maine under- statement. All of the hoses and some of the belts were original, from 1979. Their replacement was planned.) “We started work on the engine, but when we saw the oil in the bilge, we decided to remove the engine to work on it. All three of the motor mounts needed to be replaced due to cracking.” (Interesting, but so far, not very pricey.) “The wiring from the engine does not match the new wiring harness from the instrument panel. It will need a new wiring harness. That’s on back order and should be here soon.” “Great.” “All the gaskets will need replacing also, some of them have big holes in them. The heat exchanger was on the list of things to fix, but when we started on it, the tubing and fittings crumbled.” “It’s toast.” “Yeah, I’m afraid so, Doc. You’ll need a whole new one.” (It amazes me that you can generate any horsepower from an engine with so many apparent holes in it.) “So, after we got the engine out, we looked at the transmission, and saw that was where the oil was from. So we tried…” (Oh joy! Past tense, and therefore unsuccessful.) “…to remove it from the boat, but it was welded into place.” “Welded?” “Not really, but it might as well have been. Somebody apparently sank the boat at some point, probably by letting it dry out too much before putting it back in the water. The bolts and nuts to the transmission are one piece of metal now. We got really frus- trated trying to get it out, so we stopped.” (FANTASTIC. Now I have a boat that is built like a Jaguar. To remove the transmis- sion, all I will have to do is saw the back end off the boat!) “We managed to drill into and then cut a hole in the bell housing. From there we were able to identify the problem. All seals have been replaced as well as a few parts. The hole has been filled with a rubber plug, and the engine is back in the boat.” “Wonderful. How long will the transmission last?” “Well, five maybe six years.” “Then what?” “To replace the transmission, you’ll have to start by pulling the engine again…” Happily, the drive shaft is good and has been repacked, and any leaks will be in the drops-per-minute range. The starter and alternator have been repaired and recondi- tioned, there is a new heat exchanger, and all belts, gaskets, and hoses have been replaced. The motor is now back in the boat and firmly seated on new motor mounts. The mainsail has been repaired and we now have a new staysail. Impressively, all this repair work was accomplished in only 30 days indoors. Unexpected costs are a part of every repair job. The up-side is that Surprise is now in much better condition than she was a year ago. I view my ‘ownership’ of this boat as a stewardship, and I feel it is necessary to leave her in better condition than I found her. I am still light-hearted, though somewhat lighter in the wallet than I had planned. Despite all this, I still love the boat and look forward to sailing around on my hole-in- the-water this summer. It reminds me of the joke: What does B.O.A.T. stand for? Bring Out Another Thousand. Let’s go sailing!

Duncan When Eastward’s mainsail began to look too big, Mary and I went to Ralph ‘ . Stanley for a smaller boat with a divided rig. Among us, we settled on a 28-foot round-bowed schooner in the Gloucester tradition. It is some fun to build a boat I with Ralph Stanley and his son Richard! • We watched them loft her from computer-generated lines and bolt the deadwood together. Breathless, we saw the powerful curve of the stem rise from the keel high into the vaulted shop. With her molds and ribands in place, we began to get an idea of her shape. A boy at the steambox passed a hot length of oak to Ralph, standing on the keel. He pushed the butt into a slot in the keel. Andrea saw it fitted snugly. Ralph seized the top of it, drove the steaming frame with his foot hard out against the ribands. Andrea and Jonathan clamped it to each riband and Ralph reached for the next. Richard was doing the same thing opposite. In one exciting afternoon we saw most of our boat framed. We could look down inside her and see how her fine bow swelled into her buoyant waist, then faired into a flat run. She would not fight the sea, she would slip through it. We have the short end of the last plank saved from the ‘shutter party’. In October a rising tide lifted her off her cradle. We were aboard while Ralph towed her across Southwest Harbor to the trailer. What a fine Homecoming Party we gave her at Frank Luke’s yard in East Boothbay! I did the standing rigging, Nat Wilson made the sails and John Luke did the spar ironwork. I am working on spar carpentry and running rigging. This summer, there will be a grand launching and we will be sailing the prettiest schooner on the Maine coast!

New London Windezvous by Greg and Daneen Roth Ten years ago a tradition began, born of the fog and nursed by the flowing waters of Long Island Sound and the Thames River. Holt Vibber, Jack to most of us, assem- bled a cadre of friends in his museum-like basement office, decorated with photos of many sailing vessels, models, prints and books. Planning went smoothly. The New London Friendship Sloop races were to start July 10-12, 1987. Everything was set except the weather. There was such a thick blanket of fog for three days that there were no races in 1987, but plans were already made for 1988, which would prove to be a glorious weekend for the first actual races. Over the years, some boats have become synonymous with New London: Finest Kind, Captain George, Elizabeth Jane, Rights of Man, and Natanya. Harry Jackson’s Fiddlehead has sailed in every race. Recently, Banshee and Gaivota from Massachusetts have joined with Goodfriend. With as many as 12 boats, there have been races at New London every year since 1988. Each year, after the Saturday races participants and friends have enjoyed the social times, cookouts and famed Grucci fireworks. The Race Committee has already made plans for this year’s program for July 10- 12. Races are planned for two classes: A fleet, boats over 26 feet; and “B” fleet, those 25 feet (Pemaquids) and smaller. Depending on the weather, courses range from five to eight miles. Jack Vibber has inspired us all to continue the traditions of the Friendship sloops: history, craftsmanship, seaworthy grace and beauty under sail. Join in the fun and camaraderie at New London July 10-12! 1998 Friendship Sloop Society Officers FRIENDSHIP SLOOPS AND LOBSTER/PICNIC POWER BOATS Many models and sizes available, in wood and fiberglass.
