Perfecting the concept was very difficult and finally, after determin- ing the exact character- istics needed to draw and twist the gold wire, my idea became reality. 1 have found this very- old design in various forms, including wood, ivory, stone and in 1 illustrations by Leonardo da Vinci, but to the best of my knowledge, we were the first to achieve this apparently endless weave in solid gold. The four strand bracelet requires forty-eight feet of gold wire. All bracelets are individually woven, therefore, no two are exactly alike.

Commodore’s Message “Anchored in the lee of the unnamed island, Princess stretched her cable and waited… her shrouds hummed like the strings of a guitar as the wind went by. A lot of wind got away while I slept… to sleep while a fair wind blows is the same as running the engine… with the lines fast to the dock. ” Thus wrote Joe Richards, winner of last year’s Winthrop Bancroft award, and author of the Friendship epic “Princess-New York.” These pleasing, restless words momentarily prompted a brief check on the wind and the Society’s engine and lines. From the seven founders back in 1961, the Society has grown to 251 members. Where fourteen sloops lined up for the start of that first race in Friendship, more than forty sloops now participate in the annual regattas at New London, Marblehead and Boothbay. The little laptop computer that will calculate this year’s race results proves we are keeping up with the times, and in the off season it keeps tabs on our finances, which are sound. Brilliant young Friendship high school graduates are continuing their college education with help from Pendleton Scholarships. Yearbooks each year add color and fact to Friendship history. The popular Newsletter reports on our active lives and increases friendships by attracting new members. Critical historical records and sloop files are now safely stored at the Maine Maritime Museum. And each year we pay honor to our beginnings…we return to- Friendship. The Society flourishes because we have valuable objectives above and beyond self inter- est; members enjoy working together; they provide a constant source of fresh ideas and observe a regular turnover of officers. Yes, we take things seriously, yet we are quick to laugh, even at ourselves. I think Joe would feel pleased that not too much fair wind gets away when the Society is sleeping. William M. Rand, Jr.

The Bill Hadlock Memorial Award This award is given in memory of our past Commodore and skipper of Heritage, Bill Hadlock. It is given for: Safe sailing and sound seamanship Family participation Sharing knowledge and helping others Supporting the aims of the Society Appreciation of the beauty, charm, and splendor of the Maine coast. This year the award was given to Ernst Wiegleb, owner of Chrissy. Ernie sailed Chrissy with his sons in almost every race from 1962 through 1981 with complete dedication and consummate skill. Four times he won the Jonah Morse trophy for the fastest sloop built before 1920. In 1969 and 1970 Ernie rebuilt Chrissy almost single-handed. He has always been a staunch supporter of the Society and has served as treasurer since 1971. Ernst Wiegleb died in November 1991, but not until after he had heard with delight of this award. An appreciation of his life appeared in the winter Newsletter. It is well worth re- reading. The Bancroft Award The Bancroft Award is given in memory of Winthrop Bancroft, owner of Elicia III and an enthusiastic supporter of the Society. It is awarded tor an unusual contribution of the Friendship tradition. It might recognize an outstanding voyage, the launching of a new sloop, or the restoration of an old one. It might recognize the work of a poet, a painter, or a model maker. A committee appointed by the Executive Committee awarded the trophy this year to Joe Richards, author of “Princess-New York.” Joe bought Princess in 1938, rebuilt her himself, and sailed her to Florida. In 1952 he published her dramatic story, a story which has inspired many of his readers to buy, build, or rebuild Friendship sloops. Joe Richards died late in 1991.

In a boatyard in the headwaters of Barnegat Bay, they spied two Friendship sloops, both named Downeaster. Both sloops were for sale; both were white. One had the builder’s name and the year 1963 carefully carved under the bowsprit. The other, the one that attracted the eye of the builder of the Friendship hull nearing completion, had the numbers 86611 carved in the deck beam. The cabin roof leaked, the sloop needed refurbishing, but the hull seemed sound. The two families retreat- ed to drier quarters, called the owner, made an offer, and found themselves co-owners of a Friendship sloop. In 1967, the men of these two families sailed this white Friendship sloop named Downeaster home to Friendship for the Friendship Sloop Society Regatta. In the dusty attic of the Rockland Custom House, after hours of poring over the records, they found that their sloop had been built by Alexander “Bugs” McLain on Bremen Long Island. It was launched in 1902 and had been named Gladiator. The Harbor Master typed a letter confirming the entry, and they drove triumphantly back to Friendship. The Authentication Committee of the Friendship Sloop Society viewed the carefully carved 86611, and officially declared that another “original” Friendship Sloop had been found and had come “home”.

Main Street P.O. Box 601 Wiscasset, Maine 04578 (207) 882-4240 These two families, Stu and Dorothy Hancock and Bill and Caroline Zuber, owned Gladiator together for 20 years. Bill (who sold the still-unfinished hull) owned a boatyard, did the maintenance and repairs, and provided the dockage and storage. Stu and Dot shared in the expenses of insurance and supplies, and both families sailed the sloop home to Friendship again in 1970, after a new topmast and upper sails had been added, and the color of the hull changed to what they fondly called “Gladiator Green.” Friends came from near and far to sail, and racing trim was achieved by the movable ballast of kids and adults shift- ing from port to starboard. In December 1971, the Zubers bought some land in Friendship “for retirement” and perhaps to camp during summers. Gladiator sailed in New Jersey waters during the summer of 1972 without the Zubers, who had managed to find a way to spend the summer on Hurricane Island in Penobscot Bay. Better yet, Bill found a way to earn a living in Maine, working on the boats of the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, and the “retirement property” in Friendship became home to the Zuber family. Gladiator sailed for the last time from New Jersey to Maine in the fall of 1973. From 1974 through 1982, Gladiator was moored at Hurricane Island, and the Zubers sailed the Maine coast whenever free time allowed. Stu and Dot Hancock came to Maine for two weeks each summer, and Gladiator raced during the regat- tas. By 1982, Bill was beginning to wonder what was below the concrete in the bilge near the mast step, and how to stop the leaks in the forefoot where rust was evident. He had Gladiator taken on a trailer to his home in Friendship, and built a plastic house over her. He planned to take a month off in the fall to do some serious repair to the hull. However, job commitments intervened, and five years later, in June of 1987, the newly rebuilt Gladiator was relaunched at age 85. The story of the rebuilding would take another volume. Sadly, Dorothy Hancock died during the rebuilding years, and didn’t get to sail on Gladiator again. Stu and Bill agreed amicably in 1988 to end the years of shared owner- ship. Bill and Caroline Zuber became sole owners, and Stu an “Owner Emeritus.” In 1989, Gladiator came home to Friendship Harbor and began to earn her way again, this time by taking paying passengers for day trips and charters. Usually Gladiator sails in the middle reaches of Muscongus Bay, where the hard-working descendants of her first owner are still fishing. A favorite trip is a sail to the western headwaters of Muscongus Bay past Cow Island through the narrow passage at the southern end of Bremen Long Island. With a favorable tide and the summer southerly breeze, Gladiator loves to sail past the long-deserted homestead of her builder on the westerly shore of the island. The McLain family seemed to build stout, lasting sloops. The Estella A at Mystic Seaport was built by a McLain, as was Dictator, currently being restored by Jarvis Newman in Southwest Harbor for her new owner, a member of the same family who had owned and sailed her in the 1930s. Today, Gladiator is still sailing in her 90th year, in the same waters where she first worked. Bill and Caroline Zuber moved to Friendship, built a home, and raised their family here because of a Friendship sloop. Their oldest son married the daughter of a Friendship lobster fisherman, and their youngest son will soon be a licensed captain like his dad. Owning a boat for 25 years is somewhat unusual; buying a 65-year-old boat and still own- ing and sailing it when it is 90 years old is rather uncommon. The Zuber family will tell you that they like living in a town called Friendship; they enjoy sailing their Friendship sloop in the area where she was built; and, that in bringing Gladiator home, they are r.ot “from away” in their hearts.

Quinn-and-family guest house on Eagle Island in Penobscot Bay. These races were held each year from about 1903 through 1916. Eagle Island residents, both local and sum- mer people, looked forward to this event with considerable excitement and interest. The race course most used was a triangle — Eagle Island light to Babbidge Island to Brown Cow Ledge and return. The race committee was usually made up of Frank Smith, Richard Cleveland, Richard Hammond and John H. Quinn. At the end of the race there was a celebration, and prizes were awarded for first, second and third places. The prizes, usually cups, were provided by donations from the summer people and entrance fees. The cup pictured here is now at the village library at Bernard in Tremont, Maine, in the care of the Tremont Historical Society. It was proba- bly won permanently by Lewis Freeman Gott of Bass Harbor in 1916, although the date is not inscribed, making him a three-time winner of the cup.

Bath Savings Institution Since 1852 105 FRONT STREET, BATH CHURCH STREET, DAMARISCOTTA 8 MASON STREET, BRUNSWICK MEMBER FDIC There seems to have been no race in 1910. Perhaps it was foggy weather. There are four other cups at Eagle Island in the possession of Robert L. Quinn. These cups are smaller, one being inscribed “1906” only, and another “1903 Catherine Marie.” The Catherine Marie was a 36′ Friendship sloop built by Wilbur Morse and owned by John H. Quinn. She was used as a general purpose boat for the island. Other sloops not named on these cups that participated in the races were: White Bear, owned by the Fullers and Kings of Bear Island and sailed by John Johnson or Harold Ball; and Glen Rose, owned by the Harrimans of Butter Island. The Catherine Marie was usually sailed by Ed Howard and did well in a heavy wind. Linda Billings of Little Deer Isle says that her Aunt Laura as a young woman worked on Eagle Island at the Quinn Guest House and sailed in one of the races. She said she was never so seasick in her life. The races at Eagle Island were usually followed by others at Butter Island and Bucks Harbor, each a few weeks apart. Many of the sloops were Friendship sloops, but it seems any sloop was eligible to enter the race. Due to the variety and different sizes of the sloops, a system of handicapping was adopted. Sounds familiar. Race near Eagle Island, Maine. Friendship Icy waves tickle the rocky shore as a cool mist seeps over the pines and quietly envelops the harbor.

Lepreau, then had a beautiful sail across Mace’s Bay. On the way we saw a porpoise, sailed through a huge raft of loons, and passed a nest- ing bald eagle as we motored the last half-hour into L’Etang Harbor. This is a largely unpopulated area, really many little interconnected harbors, but the waters are full of salmon farming operations. It is also a lovely place, with bold shores, deep water, and many little coves tucked into the dark wooded shoreline. It was a long but totally satisfying day – 47 miles in 12 hours. We anchored, as our old edition of the Cruising Guide advised us, just inside Crazy Point, next to the floating shack that was part of a salmon farming operation. It was called Granger Cove. We should have had a newer edition along. The day started early with a rude surprise. At 0215 I felt a bump that was not the dinghy bumping against the hull and realized that my feet were considerably higher than my head (I slept athwartships, with my head to port and my feet to starboard). We had not only grounded out; we were soon high and dry – an acute embarrassment to us both. We pulled on sweaters and seaboots, found a flashlight and scrambled down the high side of the vessel (though we could have stepped off the low side onto dry land), collected the dinghy and rowed across to the nearby float-cum-fishing shack. We sat in the cold on the float, gazing up at the starlit sky. Suddenly Dick exclaimed, “there’s Tarazed!” – the star for which his WWII ship, a refrigerator supply ship, was named. That was about the only satisfying aspect of our plight. It was cold, and the rest of the night was long. Dick stretched out on a plank bunk inside the shack, but I found it too cold and didn’t feel like going back to poor old Freedom for more clothing, so I paced around on the float awhile, rowed out to one of the salmon pens anchored nearby (three-feet-long fish were jumping and splashing around in the dark), then went back to the beach and waited for the sun to come up and the tide to come back in. The sun rose on a sorry sight: the beautiful little ship lying there like a beached whale. Miraculously, though rocks were all around her she lay only on soft sand. Even the anchor was high and dry. Apparently salmon farmers sleep late; none came by to discover our plight, though a passing power cruiser did pause briefly to make sure we were all right and we waved it on. By 0730 Freedom was afloat again, and it could almost have been only a bad dream. We dreaded the scornful jeers we would surely get when we later confessed to our gigan- tic miscalculation. Instead, so far I have found that telling the story has only produced com- parable tales from yachtsmen who’ve had similar experiences, though no one brags about it. I intend to adopt the attitude that you’ve not really cruised until you’ve gone thoroughly aground.

Dictator, 1904-1992 by Jarvis Newman Dictator winning the 1981 race. For more than 20 years I’ve had an ongoing relationship with Dictator, a wooden-hulled friendship sloop that was built and launched in 1904. I bought her back in 1971 from the Chesney family of Deer Isle. The Chesneys had jwned Dictator for 46 years, and she was tired. And she needed extensive restoration. It took the best part of two years to restore her – with a lot of help from Ralph Stanley, )ne of Maine’s truly remarkable boat builders. We completely restored Dictator with a new diesel engine, a new cabin and a larger :ockpit to fit our needs for family sailing and cruising. Four berths, a complete galley, and a lew head added to her comfort. That done, we re-launched her in July 1973. For nine years my wife Susan, our daughters Kathe and Kim, and I sailed her around Mt. Desert Island and at Friendship for the annual sloop races in July. With my father and mother, Laurence and Eleanor Newman, and other family members, ve competed several times in the Retired Maine Skippers’ race at Castine. We thoroughly :njoyed sailing her there and once we came excruciatingly close to a first-place finish – until two competitiors with a lot more sail passed us on the last leg as though we were standing still. We sailed her in winds of up to 50 knots, with eight-foot seas, and we also had a few knockdowns. But even when the base of the mast and ports were under water, she was com- fortable and stable. I enjoyed sailing Dictator single-handed even though hoisting the main and pulling in the jib by hand was work, since winches aren’t traditional on Friendships. In 1982, despite some misgivings, we sold this lovely sloop to Dr. George Pappas of Ossining, New York. It seemed we couldn’t find time enough to sail her and, besides, our daughters had grown up and found other interests. Hindsight tells us it was a mistake. For eight years Dictator sat, neglected I thought, in a Hudson River marina with little use. I visited her several times in that time just to see how she was doing, and I anguished. In the fall of 1990, Dr. Pappas donated her to Full Sea of Greenport, Long Island, and she was trucked there that December. Once again she drew some care and attention. Her engine was rebuilt, and a new boom was made. Then, after I spotted a small ad in WoodenBoat, I contacted her owner, David Kiremidjian, and offered my services to help restore her for a new owner. But David Kiremidjian clearly had other ideas. “Why not buy her and restore her yourself and make sure she is brought back the way you want?” he asked. In the end, as he kept repeating that line, it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. So, after many lengthy phone conversations, 1 bought her back, trucked her to Southwest Harbor last July, and started working on her in my shop. Now, my father, the retired lobsterman and fisherman, at 85 joined me in helping bring Dictator back to life. Without getting into the details, let me say I knew it would be a long and difficult undertaking. But, as imposing as it was, this was a job I simply had to do. As I started stripping the spars and refinishing the boat, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Chesney of Deer Isle came to my shop in August to have a look. Peter was the son of Alan Chesney, Dictator’s owner back in 1925. He in turn called his son, Peter M. Chesney of California, who said he’d like to have her back in the family. The following month the younger Chesney came to Southwest Harbor to inspect the sloop and negotiate a sale. In a matter of weeks we reached an agreement with one special stipulation – I’d continue the job of repairing and renovating Dictator over the winter. As I write this, I can attest that she’s looking far, far better than she did last July. Most of the cockpit has been replaced and several areas of dry rot are but memories. As a two-time owner of Dictator, 1 find it’s a pleasure to look ahead and think that in a couple of months Alan Chesney’s son and grandson and their families will be enjoying the grand old sloop again. 1904 – Robert McLain, Builder 1904-1910 Steve Gray 1910-1913 Roy Sargeant 1913-1923 FredTorrey 1923-1925 William Raynes 1925-1971 Alan Chesney 1971-1982 Jarvis Newman 1982-1990 George Pappas 1990-1991 Full Sea 1991-1992 Jarvis Newman 1992– Peter Chesney 17

My grandfather, James Logan, first came to Friendship at the behest of his good friend Robert Armstrong to inspect the Y.M.C.A. camp on Crotch Island. The Logan family liked Friendship so much that, in 1907, he had a summer cottage built on Davis Point overlook- ing the harbor. Grandpa considered oil lamps and candles to be too dangerous, so he had a gasoline engine installed in the garage to charge the array of wet cell batteries which sup- plied electricity to the house. There was no public electricity on the Point at that time. Since the family would be in residence all summer, while Grandpa would be away most of the time, he hoped to find someone who could maintain the generator, take care of the property, and also take him and the family on picnics and trips around the bay. Thus, one day, he went down to the wharf and asked if anyone had time to take him on a little trip around the harbor. Elbridge Albion Winchenpaw volunteered to take him in his Friendship sloop. While sailing, Grandpa told Mr. Winchenpaw that he needed someone to take the family and friends around Muscongus Bay and on picnics. He also hoped that that person would have time to do chores around the cottage. Thus, Ellie, as everyone soon came to call him, took on the Logan family and the care of the Logan property. To complete this story, Eliie renamed his Friendship sloop Ruth Logan for Grandpa’s youngest daughter and moored it in front of the house. 19

Advantages of the Gaff Rig By Francis West, Jr., Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts For sixteen years I have been racing Erda, a McKee Roth 22-footer, in the Holmes Hole Sailing Association handicap series in Vineyard Haven, where we conduct 12 races a year, most of them around triangular courses. We have a great variety of hulls and rigs, from old- timers to the very modern boats ranging from 16′ to 50′ in length. Readers may recall the story in the 1987 Friendship Yearbook of Erda winning the big Moffett Race in Nantucket Sound. Considering the fact thaVl installed a 7h.p. Vire engine in 1980, Erda’s racing record is quite respectable. My only regret is that I’ve never been able to get her up to Boothbay to pit her against her sisters. All this racing has given me an abundant opportunity to compare the gaff and marconi rigs at close hand. This article is based on those observations. The typical gaff rig sloop will have a large mainsail and a moderate-sized jib, or jib and staysail. These three sails will give you all the area you need for light winds, and for heavy winds the mainsail can be reefed. The jibs are small enough to be left up in anything less than half a gale. The sail plan is stretched out fore and aft, resulting in less heeling for a given sail area than in a marconi-rigged sloop with its tall, narrow mainsail and overlapping genoa jib. When reefing in heavy weather, the gaff is lowered with the sail, thus reducing the weight and windage aloft, producing a sort of snugged-down effect. Reefing the mainsail instead of taking in the genoa jib favorably maintains good sail balance when it blows up. This will prevent excessive weather helm and consequent rudder drag. Almost all boats will increase weather helm as the wind increases. The reefing outhaul line is rove permanently along the boom and preferably set up with a small tackle so the foot of the sail is pulled taut. A few reef points can be tied in to keep the bunt of the sail from hanging down, but I prefer to tie them all in for neatness and good sail shape. In the old days with cotton sails, we wouldn’t dare reef without all points tiipd in for fear of stretching, while today we can “jiffy” reef because Dacron sailcloth is so strong. The lower cost of wooden spars, Dacron halliards, no big winches and fewer sails can be a big saving with the gaff rig. And it is quieter, too, in the absence of aluminum. The gaff rig is sturdy, partly due to its flexibility. The mast is allowed to bend slightly, as the shrouds are not set up bar tight. Stresses are spread up and down the mast and gaff, not concentrated at the masthead, and so compressive forces on the mast are low. The tall alu- minum mast of the marconi rig requires careful adjustment of all stays to keep it standing straight and not bending. Although it is well known that the tall, narrow marconi rig sails closer to the wind, and so makes faster time to windward, the gaffer, if her hull factors are comparable, with her sheets not hauled in so hard, will be footing as fast and will be standing up straighter as well. On triangular courses, the windward leg has almost as much sailing distance as the other two legs combined, so the gaffer tries to make up by doing better on the off-wind legs. The small jib on a gaff-rigged sloop requires less tension on the jib stay than a genoa to keep the luff from sagging when on the wind. Boats about 30′ or less will usually depend on the mainsheet tension to pull the head of the mast aft when close-hauled to keep the jibstay taut. Over that size, running backstays are required with the marconi rig to do that job. The weather backstay is set up with a small winch or hand tackle for moderate tension. Some sag in the jib luff is allowable, especially if not racing. The gaff mainsail is very powerful on reaching, close reaching, or broad reaching. I’m not going to try to explain why, but I know it is true. The marconi boat will need a big genoa to surpass it. On broad reaching, the moderate-sized jib and staysail will be getting plenty of wind, while the genoa will be partly in the shadow of the mainsail and so lose a lot of its drive. This is the situation where the gaff rig comes into its own, when the old rig can equal or surpass the modern rig (unless the latter uses a spinnaker). The genoa jib is very fast close-hauled in moderate winds but has the drawback of over- powering the boat in strong winds and can be stretched out of shape in very strong winds, so must be taken in. And who wants to go forward in that weather! With its very long over- lap, it often tends to backwind the mainsail and requires a big, powerful winch to sheet it in. The marconi rig depends on the genoa, the spinnaker and other light sails to develop speed, while the gaffer does very well without them and with less crew work. Sailing downwind the gaffer does fine under mainsail alone, simply because there will be sufficient sail area, while her more modern competitor will require a poled-out genoa or spinnaker to pass her. The down side of the gaff rig is having to haul in a long main sheet when getting ready to jibe around a leeward mark, and the long boom requires more time to reef and furl. My friends, I think this is a small price to pay for all the advantages. For years I have been wishing that a really fair test of the performance of the old and new could be made. Precisely this has now been done in England at Southampton University (see The Apprentice for Fall 1987). Six very different rigs were tested, both on models in a wind tunnel and by full-scale racing on the Solent with identical hulls, with most startling results. They show, among other things, that the gaff rig and the similarly shaped sprit rig were best and about equal in performance to the marconi rig when beating, superior in reaching, and about equal in running. In the eye of the traditionalist the gaff sail is more beautiful, and this could possibly be a faint echo of our seagoing past. 20 21

Pratt – Bill Pendleton On a warm summer day in late July 1967, a black-hulled sloop sailed into Friendship har- bor from the east’ard on a fading southwest breeze. It rounded the can buoy at the head of the harbor in a leisurely fashion and slowly beat past the lobster wharves and boat sheds. As Blackjack approached her anchorage, a signal cannon boomed from the slope above. A figure on the fore-deck raised one arm and waved as he allowed the anchor rode to slide through his other hand. Bill Pendleton was ready for another weekend of racing. In the win- ter Bill taught math at Suffield Academy in Connecticut, but he spent his summers at the family home in Searsport. He came by his love for the sea and sailing naturally, since his forebears, five generations of Pendletons back to the time of the Revolutionary War, were captains of schooners sailing in the coastal trade, as well as of square-rigged ships going to China, India and around the world. But now Bill had brought with him an important proposal for the Sloop Society members; however, it must wait for the fleet to assemble on the morrow. Sloops arrived from the east and west. The cannon boomed its welcome repeatedly. Among the last to arrive was Eastward, a tall, white sloop, formidable in appearance, carrying main and jib topsails. Her owners, Roger Duncan and his wife Mary, take parties on day sailing trips in the Boothbay Harbor region. In the assembled fleet was Voyager, owned by Bernard Mackenzie of Scituate, 22 23

Ted Brown had sailed down from Kittery in his sloop Vida Mia. Ted worked at the Portsmouth Naval Base. John Thorpe of Woolwich was there in Elite T. He had built her from lines which he took from the sloop Florida. These were adopted for the “Pemaquid Class” of Friendships. There was Stuart Ford of Bailey Island, who built Content when he was 80. There was Ernst Wiegleb, a construction engineer on the Erie Railroad and a fiery competitor on the race course, in Chrissy. Ernst was treasurer of the Sloop Society for 29 years before his death in 1991. There was Bill Hadlock of Freeport in Heritage and Gordon Winslow from Boothbay Harbor in Channel Fever, and we must not forget the genial Dr. Myron Hahn in Depression. He usually managed to catch a few mackerel during a race and often, on the last day, brought back a couple of course markers to assist the race committee in its recovery work. These sloops and 20 to 30 more were in the harbor, waiting for the starting gun at noon on the following day. It was to these assembled sloop owners that Bill Pendleton proposed that the Sloop Society needed to do more than meet in Friendship each summer for two or three days of racing and have an annual meeting in the fall. He said that the Society should have an ongo- ing project, such as a scholarship fund, with everyone working to make it grow. A gift shop selling Society memorabilia and items made by the members would be a good way to begin. The crowds at the summer regattas could get this project off to a good start and con- tributions from Society members and friends would add more. The interest from the fund would be used to help Friendship high school graduates who were planning to go on to col- lege. Bill felt that this would be an appropriate way for the Society to express its apprecia- tion to townspeople for all that they did each year to make the sloop races a success. Thus, at the annual meeting in 1967, the Society adopted a motion that the scholarship fund be established. Since that date, 80 awards have been made. Last June the interest from the fund’s certifi- cates of deposit provided about $5000 to be distributed among eight recipients. This amounts to about $600 per student. This does not go very far when college tuition, room and board are $12,000 to $15,000 and up. These scholarships are important, because in Friendship today the average annual per capita income is $8,000. Bill Pendleton and his cohorts understood the financial situation in Maine’s small coastal towns, and they realized that this was the best way for the Society to say “thank you.” Unfortunately, with the present state of the economy, most interest rates are falling, including the interest rates on certificates of deposit at renewal time. Probably in another year the income from the fund will be down substantially. And it is not just interest rates. Family income is decreasing as well. This all comes at a time when colleges are finding it necessary to increase their costs. For this reason, the trustees of the Pendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund have been conducting a fund drive in Friendship and in the Sloop Society. Friendship graduates receive an education in high school adequate for them to do well in colleges throughout the nation. They are serious in their intent to reach their goals. Bill Pendleton recognized the need. The Sloop Society authorized the fund, and the young peo- ple of Friendship have been using it responsibly. We are proud of them and their accom- plishments. We are confident that you will want to assist us with this program. Please make your check payable to the Pendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund and mail it to: The Rev. David Bell, Treasurer, P.M.S.F.

Rand With the annual race underway, the sloops sooner or later must make Mark “G,” Squirrel Island. Some of us have spent more time contem- plating “G” than we wished-or felt necessary, occasionally trying to nudge it out of the way. V But since it won’t budge, “G” can at least serve as an intriguing diversion from the frustrations of tides and those light airs around the island. Tacking toward the island’s north shore, the sloops often get close to the “hotel beach.” Nearby hovers the haunting spectre of the Squirrel Inn burning on an October day in the early 1960s. Had the wind been in the northeast, Squirrel would resemble Damariscove today; but fortunately a southeast wind fanned those horrifying flames harmlessly off the island. Because competing tennis players used to stay at the inn, the fire finished off the Northern New England Tennis Championships held annually at the island courts, visible beyond the wharf. Every August, crowds on bleachers and imposing judges viewed the tournament. Children were allowed but were decidedly silenced – not, however, the popular island sage who, walking softly by, would intone, “The poor man’s Newport…the poor man’s Newport.” ‘ The scene at the main wharf still goes on seven times a day, immortalized in an island refrain, “Hear the whistle blowing, see the people going, going back to Squirrel Isle…” often sung at the old Squirrel Casino. Another fire victim, the Casino was the setting for the summer hops featuring the home-grown “Hennessy Five Star Orchestra,” vaudevilles and courtships, all of which, thankfully, survive today in the new town hall. Hidden from full view by the majestic spruces and pines is Squirrel Island village, com- plete with post office, tea shop, chapel, and the Davenport Library. Dedicated in 1904, the library contains rich histories of the island long before it was purchased by a “company of Lewistonians” and organized as an association in 1871. Time-honored collections as well as current best-sellers provide a treasured resource for this well-read community. 27

Binoculars will reveal the large pump enshrined on the shore above the beach. The Spring produces fine drinking water, all the finer for being lugged home by the jug-full day by day. Otherwise, water arrives through a pipe from Spruce Point on the mainland near our start and finish line. Luther Maddocks in Looking Backward recalls the laying of the pipeline to Squirrel as an initial disaster because the pipe kept breaking of its own weight as it sank through deep water to a hard bottom. Maddocks, however, contrived a wooden trough to float the pipe all the way to the island. He assured skeptics that as soon as the pipe was filled with water, the trough would sink, which it did, carrying the pipeline comfortably to the bottom and allow- ing fresh water to flow into island homes ever since. If this gives rise to further speculation, rest assured that a modern septic system now handles the disposal problem for the entire 15 On to the ultimate challenge: saving time by cutting the spindle. Not even the shoal draft WMR egged on by a harpy crew member with local knowledge, has dared this. Yet one need have no fears, for these particular rocks are indeed the “softest rocks” on the coast of Maine as an ardent suitor of yore proclaims in a line of that aforementioned song…”sitting with a’maiden on the old South Shore…” There is a less romantic but more pertinent expla- nation for this “soft spot” so often experienced by ardent racers: because the island is high and the rocks warm at this point, the wind lifts over the island, abandoning the sloops m their effort to get past the south shore. While thus drifting, visions of Indians spearing fish from Gunner Point could well occupy you Or picture a lone householder from Fisherman’s Island making for Squirrel to cut wood in the 1600s, for even then his home island was bare. Or imagine Sir Humphrey Gilbert’s ship, coincidentally named Squirrel, foundering in 1583 in “outrageous seas.” Take cheer, however, from his last words to the captain of a ship standing by, “We are as near to Heaven by sea as by land.” Having spent my youthful summers swinging at tennis balls, dancing at the hops and rid- ing the spindle breakers, I find my contemplation dwelling on the many phantoms of these waters, but especially on a tall lady smiling and waving from her doorway above the spin- dle That would be Grandma. Of course she loved to watch the ships sail by her cottage, so it would amuse her to think, as I like to when we sail by, that “G” might just stand for Grandma. photo by Emily R. Herman 29
