That was the year the Ranger, built by Bath Iron Works for Harold S. Vanderbilt, defeated the British challengerEncfeavo/’//, in four straight races. Just four years later; in 1941, the Ranger went on to fight a greater battle in our country’s defense. The rac-‘ ing sloop was scrapped and the 110 tons of lead in her keel became a val- uable part of the raw material of the American war effort. It’s all part of Maine’s great maritime heritage. And we at Bath Iron Works are proud to share many of its finest moments. /93Z A model of the Ranger is on display in the Bath Iron Works Exhibit at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. BATH.

Box 356 Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538 (207) 633-2353 Banshee, The Flagship The Commodore’s Message Welcome to the 29th annual regatta of the Friendship Sloop Society. I’m sure that the skippers, crews and friends will enjoy the activities that have been planned during our an- nual gathering. The strength of an organization can be measured in many ways, but for the Friendship Sloop Society, your Executive Board and fellow members measure strength in one word: participation. In recent years, the Society has expanded the program in New England to include New London, Connecticut, in addition to our traditional gatherings at Boothbay and Marblehead. I encourage you to participate in one of these events if at all possible. Nailed to the wall of a shed at the boatyard in Mattapoisett where we moor the Banshee is a sign which I believe typifies the Friendship Sloop Society when we gather for an event: “There are no strangers here, only friends you haven’t met.” Attend one of the events and find out how true that really is. I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming events for 1989. Commodore John Wojcik

The award is given in memory of our former Commodore, Bill Hadlock, skipper of Heritage, for: 1) safe sailing and sound seamanship 2) family participation 3) sharing knowledge and helping others 4) supporting the aims of the Society 5) appreciation of the beauty, charm, and splendor of the Maine coast. Dick Salter was our Commodore from 1984 to 1986, has with his family cruised east almost every summer, and has on many, many occasions offered and given help to perplex- ed members. The Bancroft Award In memory of Winthrop Bancroft, his family has established The Bancroft Award to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society to a person who has made a significant contribution toward the perpetuation of the Friendship tradition. The award might recognize an outstanding voyage. It might celebrate the launching of a home-built sloop or the restora- tion of an old one. It might honor the work of a poet, a painter, or a model maker. A committee to be appointed by the Executive Committee will make the decision. On the cover: Eastward off Owls Head with a rail breeze.

New members of the society may be introduced to him herewith. In 1961, when our society was in its infancy, Mr. Bancroft, already an experienced sailor, became interested in Friendship sloops and drove to Friendship from his summer home in Boothbay Harbor to inquire. In Friendship Harbor he found Mary Anne, just launched by the Lash Brothers yard. He admired her good looks and was told how fast and able she was under sail, but he could find no one to take him out in her. Someone remembered that “an old man and his wife” sailed parties out of Newagen on a Friendship sloop. Accordingly, Mr. Bancroft chartered Eastward for a morning. He not only sailed the boat appreciatively but inspected her thoroughly, construction and rigging, below and on deck, and he asked innumerable questions. Incidentally, he told us all about Mary Anne, predicting that she would walk away with the society’s first race in the coming week. Our cruise had taken us into Linekin Bay. The day before, Mr. Bancroft had attended the launching at Paul Luke’s yard of a Sparkman & Stevens cutter. He was ecstatic about her smooth lines and lovely workmanship. As we approached the yard, the new cutter was setting out on her trial sail. We passed politely to leeward of her on opposite courses, tack- ed, and headed for home. With sheets started in a modest southeast breeze, we sailed right by her to windward and left her astern. Of course her sails and rigging hadn’t been stretch- ed out, she was not tuned up, and her owner had never sailed her before; but Mr. Bancroft was deeply impressed and shifted all bets on the coming race to Eastward. Eastward won the race, beating Mary Anne by 20 minutes. Mr. Bancroft, with characteristic energy, sought out Eastward’s designer, Murray Peterson, and arranged for a new boat on Eastward’s lines. Ervin Jones in East Boothbay built her that winter and Mr. Bancroft raced her as Elicia III for several years. Then Elicia III was sold in Florida to the distinguished marine artist Carlton Wilder. Her portrait appears with that of her sister, Eastward, on the dust jacket of Friendship Sloops. A print has been made from the painting and is available from the artist. Another sister, Ollie M., was built by Kent Murphy in 1977. When Jarvis Newman rebuilt Dictator and announced the production of fiberglass replicas, Mr. Bancroft purchased the first fiberglass hull and had Ervin Jones finish her out. Mur- ray Peterson designed her sail plan and she won her first race in Class D in 1974. Her name is Anna B., now owned and sailed by Mr. Bancroft’s son-in-law, Mr. C. Murray McQuaid. Mr. Bancroft died in September 1988. His family chose Eastward as the appropriate vessel from which to scatter his ashes on Linekin Bay near his early summer home. Harvey Goodfriend Writes Harvey Goodfriend of Good Friend (#115) writes: As a result of your article indicating two Bruno & Stillmans losing shrouds, I inspected the bolt holding the shrouds to the mast. It was ready to break — (not noted unless removed from the mast). A quick calculation confirmed that the ‘/2-inch bolt is undersized. The joint has been redesigned using %-inch bronze bar stock. Thank you — you saved me from a potentially harrowing experience and possibly a mast replacement.

In an article entitled “Do It Yourself in It’s a Friendship by Duncan and Roberts, Ford further describes building the Content: “The steaming of the cedar planking and the frames was very easy with a three-burner gas plate, bottled gas and a wash boiler connected by a hose to a box about six by eight inches and eight feet long. The transom made me scratch my head until I steamed the oak boards over a form and screwed them together, making the whole thing oversize and then chiselling off the excess as indicated by ribbands bent over the molds… As to help, I had the 1500-pound keel cast in a foundry, this being cheaper than getting the equipment together for one keel, and very much safer. A friend helped – me for two afternoons, after hauling his lobster traps, to steam in the frames. Most of the red-leading of the planking screw heads and putting in the bungs was volunteer labor… I kept no track of hours worked, but all work was done in three summers, interrupted by the usual chores of house maintenance, grass cutting, shopping trips, and, according to my wife, many hours of sitting on the bench smoking a cigarette and settling the affairs of the marine world with some other boat bug that dropped in.” She was launched in 1961, and Content’s number 5 is evidence of her being a charter member of the Society. Ford became an active participant in the races at Friendship. Roger Duncan remembers Ford as “a delightful person, quiet, modest and kind. He fitted right into the Friendship tradition. He sailed the boat well, but was not the aggressive racing type.” Betty Robert’s favorite recollection of Ford occurred early one morning at a regatta. “At about 6 a.m., I looked out my window and saw Stuart, who was well into his seventies, at the top of the mast in the bosun’s chair repairing some of his rigging. I ran and got my camera. Stuart was one nice man, a perfect gentleman in every sense of the word and so interesting I deem it a privilege to have known him.” Poor health obliged Ford to sell the Content in 1968. His loss was our family’s gain, not only of a boat, but also of a friend. My father-in-law, Bob Edwards, and Ford shared a few interests, not the least of which was a love for woodworking. While Bob had never built a boat, he was a first-class furniture maker and was appreciative of good carpentry. A Britisher, he had learned the art of sailing late in life, after serving in the Royal Navy during World War II, but he made up for his lack of skill with his enthusiasm. Being British also may have given him a predilection to admire and preserve artifacts of the past. He was an immediate convert to the superior qualities of the Friendship sloop and became a loyal and enthusiastic member of the society. The Edwards family owned Content for 17 years, during which we got to know her pret- ty well. We loved her for her beauty and seaworthiness, but felt that there were two areas where she needed a little improvement, namely, comfort and speed. Ford had built her as a day sailer, but Bob liked to take her cruising. Being over six feet tall, there was only one place where he could fit in comfort when the boat was at anchor and that was to stand at the foot of the galley stairs. This was his invariable position during a cruise, which meant that he was an effective barrier to anyone who needed to get in or out of the cabin. The younger generation was smaller in stature and had no problems fitting on board, but we often wished that Ford had built her less for seaworthiness and more for speed. A lead keel weighing three quarters of a ton, plus 600 pounds of inside ballast, made Content a very poor competitor in the races. Much of the inside ballast was taken off the boat by my husband Peter and his college roommate after a very dismal finish at their first Friendship Sloop Society race, but of course this ploy made not a bit of difference. Only a strong, steady wind could make Content move; in light air or calm all she would do was sit and wallow. These minor drawbacks, of course, never came close to offsetting our pride and enjoy- ment in owning a beautiful character boat such as the Content. Wherever she went, the Friendship always elicited admiring stares and quite often some lucrative invitations. Therefore, it was with the greatest reluctance that the decision was made to give her up, but it was obvious to us that we no longer had the time to care for her properly. Fortunate- ly, her new owners, Rich and Beth Langton, keep her in Boothbay Harbor, so we are still able to keep an eye on her and admire her looks. 31
Visiting Wilbur Morse John Nelson, former owner of Downeaster, built in 1912 by Wilbur Morse, writes of a visit to Friendship in the mid-1930s: “We once sailed up Muscongus Bay to Friendship with the objective of visiting Mr. Morse. When we called at his house, we were told he was inland tending his garden. We were -invited to wait, and he soon drove up and greeted us. It surprised me later to learn that he was probably in his middle 80s that summer. He was tall and erect and obviously in top physical shape. He did not offer any information on our boat but described his boat- building days and said he would build a boat the size of ours, put it on a mooring ready to be sailed away, for $500. “I asked him how he had developed the lines of his boat, and he said he had fished early in his career and after the day’s fishing it was common for young men in similar boats to have informal races back to Friendship. During those encounters, he would watch for the best-performing boat and then, during the winter when the boats were hauled out, he would take the lines off the boat that had been the best sailer.” I Pensive, ex-Result Philip Nichols’ Result Philip J. Nichols, the dean of the amateur Friendship sloop builders, built his first sloop between 1934 and ’38 and named it Result because, when he started, he didn’t know what the result would be. In the early 1950s the sloop was homeported at Stonington, Connec- ticut, and named Pensive. In preparation for a trip to Bermuda (never made), her next owner rerigged her as a ketch. In 1967, she was registered with the Society as Temptress (#72). Three owners later, she was donated to the Westerly Sea Scouts. Two more owners later, and a misunderstanding resulted in her being bulldozed into a landfill in the fall of 1987, about 16 to 18 years after she was last afloat. Temptress (ex-Pensive, ex-Result) deviated from traditional Friendship design in that she had a full-width deckhouse. Phil later built Pressure (1942), Surprise (1964), Secret (1971), and, unnamed at his death, the sloop now named Philip J. Nichols (1981).

WESCOTT COVE PUBLISHING COMPANY Box 130, Stamford, Ct 06904 (203) 322-0998 Why Buy A Friendship? by Richard Langton Content, 1988 People have a variety of reasons for buying boats. Many of them aren’t rational, unless, of course, you’re the one buying the boat. Well, I’m no different from anyone else and I had my reasons for buying the Content four years ago. It all seemed perfectly reasonable at the time and still does, usually. Since Carey Edwards has written a brief history of the Content for this issue of the regatta program, I thought it appropriate to continue her story from the present owner’s perspective. One of my first trips to Maine was a family vacation in the summer of 1960. Through a friend of a friend, my parents arranged for a two-week stay on Morse Island in one of Hazel and Carlton Morse’s cottages. We packed our bags in Ohio and set out for Friend- ship, Maine. Two days of driving got us to the dock and a lowtide launch for our boat, which was just the beginning of many childhood adventures. In retrospect, the most im- portant was the sloop races. I’m not sure if my Dad had planned the trip around the first regatta or if it just happened, but whatever it was, it was contagious. My father and I fell in love with the graceful lines of the Friendship sloop and fantasized about having a sloop of our own. We kept coming to Morse Island and kept arranging our trips around the sloop races whenever possible. In 1965 my family moved to Massachusetts and Morse Island was within commuting distance for weekends. It also happened that Hazel Morse liked my father enough to sell my parents one of the cottages. This precipitated the purchase of an O’Day Day Sailor which I learned how to sail by leaving the dock on a following breeze and realizing that you don’t just turn around and sail back. I can’t say that I’ve ever learned to sail properly, and am still not very fluent with sailing jargon, but the Day Sailor just reinforced the desire to sail a sloop in the sloop races. My Dad and I began looking for a sloop. We tracked down some of the saddest looking sloops you’ve ever seen and realized that if we ever wanted to sail in the races, we’d have to up the ante we were willing to pay. Unfortunately, my father died before we ever realiz- ed our dream. He left it up to me. I went off to college and didn’t get back to Friendship for a while and certainly was in no position to buy a sloop. Nevertheless, this latency period disappeared in the early 1980s when my wife and I moved to Boothbay Harbor.

Then, one day after a sail, I stopped by a friend’s house and was having a beer, talking about whatever. He also has the “Friendship disease,” so when we saw Peter Edwards sailing out in the Content, he casually said “You know, that sloop is for sale.” Well, those are fatal words for one suffering the disease. I asked him how he knew and how much. He’d just seen an ad in the Sunday paper, and it had a Boothbay phone number. It didn’t take too much to put it all together. I got the phone number and said I’d check it out and let him know what I discovered. I spoke with Peter Edwards, who told me about the Content. I then went rowing around her at her mooring one day at lunch time. The next step was a sail. I’d been waiting for twenty-five years to set foot on a Friendship sloop, so I was excited! We dropped the moor- ing line and began to sail away. A little before Tumbler Island, Peter didn’t think the rudder was working just right and, indeed, it wasn’t really working at all. We did manage to get back to the mooring, and I’m sure Peter thought a hot prospect had just faded away. The boat was hauled and repaired and we tried again. This time all went well — we finally saw the south side of Squirrel Island for the first time. This was great! We were no longer trapped in the inner harbor in a wet little Day Sailor. I saw the smile on my wife’s face and knew I’d win! The summer went by and the sloop was a major topic of conversation in our household: “It doesn’t make any sense to buy a bigger boat.” “I know, but it’s a Friendship, and if I were ever to buy a bigger boat, it would be a Friendship sloop.” “Remember, you didn’t get wet.” “We could sail over to Friendship, etc., etc.” So the summer went and no one else came along to purchase the Content. Peter called me and told me that if I wasn’t interested they would probably give her to the Maine Maritime Museum. I don’t think he wanted to do that. So I said, if I’m going to buy her, I’d have to get her surveyed. He responded by saying we could split the survey costs, and that was all I needed. Except for a few cosmetic details, the Content was in excellent shape. Stuart Ford built a boat to last and Bob Edwards’ love of carpentry had kept her very much alive. We bought her at the end of the summer. Just about when I was planning my maiden voyage, Hurricane Gloria came through. I thought, great, I’ve finally bought a Friendship only to have her go down in one of Maine’s relatively rare hurricanes. She survived the hurricane as well as my running her aground the day before she got pulled for the winter. I had David Nutt fix the details and get her ready for the next sailing season. It was a thrill to go to the yard and see Content sitting next to Depression, which David was rebuilding at the time. I’d grown up looking at Depres- sion in Friendship harbor and had dreamed about buying her for the $15 she sold for back in the 1930s. I finally raced Content in the 26th regatta. We didn’t do too well, but Peter assured me it wasn’t my sailing; it was the Content. She’s slow but seaworthy. In the 27th regatta we decided that there was only one trophy that we might have a crack at: the youngest crew member. My six-month-old daughter, Ruth, joined us for the three days of racing and, despite our lackluster finish, we won a trophy that was just about as big as my little girl. Last year we kept up the tradition — lackluster finishes, that is. On the first day of the races we got lost the fog, and the committee boat left for home before we got anywhere close to the finish line. That stimulated the installation of a radio. Now I can at least talk to the rest of the fleet as they sail by. Winning, of course, isn’t the important thing. Just being able to sail on a Friendship in the sloop races is a childhood dream which makes owning a sloop rational, despite what anyone else may think. To sum it up, I’m very CONTENT at last. 37

Now Open 24 Hours Monday 7 a.m. to Saturday 11 p.m. Anvinita by Dr. Peter Latella Anvinita In 1937 I was looking for a boat that was broad of beam, tough of timber, and could handle rough weather. I had two small daughters, and we were sailing a small 16-foot sloop. I found “the boat” in a Cos Cob Connecticut shipyard. The boat — it had no name — had been in dry dock for three years and had weathered rather badly. She looked neglected and forlorn and seemed to beg and plead to be refurbished. I bought her for $400 in 1938. The sails, fortunately, were in excellent shape and had been kept in good condition. The motor, a one-lunger Palmer, was easily got into condition by a mechanic. The boat was another story. With the help of my brother and friends, we scraped, burned, sanded, primed, caulked, replaced rotten timber, scrubbed and cleaned and painted and rigged the ship, named her Anvinita, and launched her in September 1938. We sailed her down to Hudson Park, New Rochelle, and anchored in the harbor which would be her new home. She slept two forward, one on each side of the mast. The head was on the port side; on the opposite side was a locker. The cabin slept two, and the galley was against the cockpit. Headroom was about 5 feet 6 inches, and we kept bumping our heads and this was annoying. With winter setting in, we decided to remodel again. Fortunately, the hat- chway to the cabin (my little girl referred to it as the cellar) was on the starboard side 39

I fashioned a “box” of 2 inch by 8 inch lumber, 10 feet long and 4 feet wide, and placed it on top of the cabin unattached. Then either my brother or I stood on the pier, and the other motored about the harbor, so we obtained a good eye-picture of the addition. I lowered the forward end by 3 inches and finished the top by adding a skylight and added port holes to the sides and bolted it to the cabin top after removing the portion of the cabin covered by the addi- tion. Over all, the addition was very pleasing to the eye, comfortable in the cabin, and we received many compliments on the finished product. Due to my limited time available, we did little cruising but spent many days swimming, sunning, picnicking, and sailing locally around Long Island Sound. We kept the boat in the water all year round. There were many excellent sailing days in November, December and January. Twice a year we would beach the boat and scrape and paint the bottom. The name. Anvinita was coined from the three matriarchs of our family: Angela, my mother; Virginia, my wife, and Anita, our niece. In 1939 or 1940 we ventured to the Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows. We had a lovely sail to the “meadows” but were receiving radio reports that the weather was changing, so we lifted anchor and headed back home. We were caught in the storm and an adverse tide. We reefed sail, started our engine, and fought tide and wind and rain all the way home. We suffered a dis- lodged bowsprit, a smashed sky- light, and a loose stay. From that day on, my wife refused to leave the harbor. War was declared. I went away, and the boat went on dry dock in 1941. I returned early in 1946. I was quite busy putting my practice together and found little time for sailing. We made an honest attempt to refurbish Anvinita but gave up in 1948. We sold her to two young veterans. In 1949 they ran up on the rocks between Mamaroneck and Rye. The boat sank, and she was beyond salvage. Hearsay said alcohol got tangled in her rigging. When I purchased the boat, Mr. Scott gave me her papers. I did not realize then that I was purchasing <- a National Treasure, so paid little , attention to them. I do recall the boat was built by W. Morse in 1910. Her mast and spars were spruce and the timbers oak. Overall length was listed as 39 feet 9 in- jf dies. The papers, charts and maps '" were all given to the purchaser when I sold the boat. She carried ballast of cast iron sash weights in the bilge. Advantages of a big cockpit 41
Is this the society's mystery sloop, sail number 51? The photo is from the early 1950s and shows Dream Boat in Mt. Sinai Sandhole on Long Island. During WWII (and for some time before that), the sloop was named Khanum and was homeported at Staten Island. Per a bronze plaque on her main beam, her designer and builder was Wilbur A. Morse and, per her registration, she was built in 1915. Her dimensions are 29 feet by 9 feet 6 inches by 5 feet 6 inches, with a 360 sq. ft. mains'l and an 80 sq. ft. jib. In 1956 she was owned by three priests of Montclair, New Jersey. (Bosun's Notebook: The Metuchen, NJ, address of the registrant of number 51 was rental property in 1965. It was learned that the registrant rented there for only two years, and the sloop was never at that address, though the registrant wrote he was rebuilding the sloop.)

Wilson I was sold a bill of goods which included beautiful days upon the ocean and sunbathing on the decks. I was convinced (with some persuasion from my husband) that boating could be a mutual hobby that we both could really enjoy. I was brought up going to the ocean every summer for our family vacations, so the idea of ocean sailing seemed pretty attractive. Jim wanted a traditional boat made of wood, a boat with character, that people would stop to see and start a conversation about. We had both fallen in love with Friendship sloops through reading books on the subject, from visiting Estella A at Mystic Seaport, and from taking charters out of Boothbay Harbor. We were lucky to find a beautiful Pema- quid practically in our own back yard. When Jim called the owner, Dorothy Ahlgren, to get some details, he couldn't believe it when she said that the boat had been built on Bald Mountain. Old Baldy! He'd already read about this beautiful little Pemaquid. We took the plunge and had ourselves a beauty of a boat. We also made some wonder- ful friends in the process. So here the story begins for the Wilsons and Old Baldy. After we purchased Old Baldy, Dick Salter suggested that we meet Ted Brown from Kittery, who was very much involved with Friendship sloops. Dick told us that Ted fre- quented Captain Simeon's and that if we bought him a rum and tonic we could have our way with him. Dick was right. We did, we have, and we've enjoyed every minute! During July of 1987 we had made plans to sail downeast with the Friendships who were headed for the Boothbay Harbor races. Because we had launched so late that first season, the departure date was to be our first day sailing! We left Ted's mooring in Kittery along with the Wojciks, who were aboard Banshee, and motored to catch the fleet which was under sail and headed downeast. After pounding out to York Ledge, we fell in behind a Bruno and Stillman, At Last, with all its canvas up. What a pretty sight! We raised our sails, and our engine died. We were sailing. The seas were rough, and we were beating into the wind. Our bowsprit was burying itself in the waves. I was scared. A moment after our sails were raised, Jim and I looked up to see a sea of canvas. The boat ahead of us appeared to be knocked down. Suddenly a head popped out of the boat's companionway. The boat was upright, but it was dismasted! At Last's sails and mast were

I radioed Banshee to let them know that At Last had been dismasted and we could not render assistance, because we had no auxiliary power. The fleet's sails dropped. Everyone was motoring but us. The Wojciks aboard Ban- shee, the Gunkels aboard the Charles Ogalin, and Jack Sherburne aboard The James Hall, and other boaters gathered to help George Kwass and his brother on At Last. John Wojcik got into his dinghy, and with a pair of wire cutters supplied by the Gunkels, he cut away the mast, sails, and rigging from the disabled boat. Fortunately no one was injured. About this time I received a call on the radio from Ted Brown, who asked how everything was going. I told him, "At Last has been dismasted, we have no auxiliary power, and we are returning to the mooring in Kittery." Ted sprang into action, trying to locate a boat that could tow us back to the mooring. He didn't think that we'd be able to pick up the mooring under sail in the prevailing winds. Neither did we. Jim worked at getting Baldy tacked around and headed back to Portsmouth Harbor. This proved a difficult job, as our staysail had lost a fitting and was flogging around on the foredeck, and I didn't want the boat to heel too much. Despite all adversity, Jim tacked the boat as if he were sailing a Sunfish. With the wind behind us, we flew back toward the harbor. Fortunately for us, Ted had contacted Bill and Carol Schunemann aboard Baschert, who agreed to tow us back to the mooring. We were enjoying the sleigh ride back to Portsmouth when Bill radioed us to confirm the tow. He told us to slow down or he wouldn't be able to catch up to us. Once inside the harbor, Jim headed the boat into the wind and dropped the sails, so that Bill was able to come alongside us with a tow line. Secret, with radio problems, Baschert, At Last, and Old Baldy returned safely to T,d's moorings in Kittery. One day into the trip; zero miles downeast. Half the fleet had gone back to Kittery, and the other half had gone on to York. We used Ted's car to shuttle the sailors in Kittery to York that same evening for dinner. Four- teen or more Friendship sloopers dined together that evening. There were stories to tell! The following day, Jim Kent and Bill Schunemann from Baschert worked along with Jim to repair Old Baldy's engine. Around 2 p.m. the job was completed, and Jim called me to say we were leaving to meet the fleet in Cape Porpoise. My response was something like, "You may be going, but I'm not." Needless to say, Jim came home, picked me up, and we dropped the mooring around 3 p.m. What a lovely sail. (Thank goodness!) Baschert carried four passengers: Jim and Robbie Kent, and Bill and Carole Schunemann. Jim and I sailed Old Baldy. We had fun seeing who could outrun the other. Baldy held her own under working sails until Bill decided to put up his topsails. Then Jim decided to take matters into his own hands. We flew past Baschert with Bill wondering how we had adjusted our sails to increase our speed so dramatically. The iron sail worked wonders. We arrived at Cape Porpoise at around 10 p.m., and, fortunately, at high tide. We made all our marks spot on and located a mooring where we rafted up for the night. Beginner's luck was on our side. When we awoke the next morning, we saw the mud flats that we had motored over the night before. This has been an account of my first two days of ocean sailing. Even though I may have donned my swimsuit only twice in the past two summers, each season I enjoy our adventures more, as I become more accustomed to the events that can (and do) occur on a sailboat. In a way, these first few days sum up what sailing can be like: One minute you can be in the throes of peril and the next minute you can be reclining in the cockpit, drinking rum and telling tales. To quote Ted Brown, "There are twelve Murphys on every boat." Jim and I have seen several, but we have also enjoyed many beautiful sails, sailed alongside a seal, and we have been most fortunate in the wonderful new friends that our Friendship sloop, Old Baldy, has given us. 45

They are heading for Cape Ann on a night run. There was nothing to do but sail on, keeping underway in the increasingly rough seas. Soon there was an ominous thunder clap from a long way off in the darkness. Then sud- denly the wind was roaring in huge gusts from what seemed every direction at the same time. The skies opened in a deluge of rain as the mainsail and jib started flapping crazily all over the place. "Drop the sail!" my father yelled. "It's going to rip to shreds!" My brother and I leaped forward to where the halyard ropes were tied to the cleats. We each grabbed one and let it loose. The rope tore through our hands burning the skin as the sail came hurtling down under the pressure of the wind. Almost down, the gaff caught in the rigging. My brother leaped up on the deck to untangle it and pull it down the last few feet. The jib out on the end of the bowsprit was helplessly smacking this way and that, totally out of control. There was no way, short of suicide, in that heavy sea, to crawl out there and pull it in. My father back at the wheel was now pushing the starter button for the engine so that we would have some forward steerage in the sea which was crashing over the side of the deck, bouncing us around like a small block of wood. The motor caught and started to fire. What a great sound that was! My dad pulled out the throttle and then grabbed the wheel and started to head us into the wind. Suddenly it went dead. "What the hell?" my father sputtered. He looked around. "Oh no!" he said, his voice close to the edge of terror. We could see now what he was reacting to. In our haste to save the mainsail, the end of the halyard rope had dropped overboard in the darkness. My brother yanked at the rope, but it would not budge. "It's wrapped around the propeller," my dad said in a disgusted yet weary tone of voice. "It has stalled out the engine." We just sat there, the three of us, the rain pelting down, the boat bobbing around. We just sat there, close to tears, totally helpless before the fury of the gale. Finally my brother said half-jokingly, half-resignedly, "Now's the time I guess you're supposed to ask God to help you out." "Oh, Al," my dad replied soberly, "what possible good can He do us now?" Below deck, my sister and mother were hysterically sobbing. Through my head flashed all the memories of my life. There was no way in the world we were going to get out of this alive. Beyond all prayers and 'should have beens,' there was this strange quiet space of acceptance. All of us would go under together; the whole family down into the deep at the same time. All at once a flash of lightning bolted out of the darkness, illuminating the ocean for miles around. The leaping waves and rushing clouds were outlined by its light as the bolt hit the ocean creating a huge red ball of fire where it touched the water. Then there was a loud clap of thunder. Again the sky lit up and again there was a huge yellow-red fire ball where it touched the sea. The lightning was coming closer to us now as the thunder roared in our ears. It continued to bear down upon us until we thought that the very next fireball would engulf us in its flaming inferno, exploding us apart with its deafening blast. The next bolt of lightning, however, was further away and the next one, until after awhile, in the distance, the sky would just light up, and we could hear no thunder at all. 47

AddrCSS It was still raining, though not nearly so hard, and the wind now had settled into a strong steady breeze from the northeast. At this point, we began to think about how we might get underway, escaping what had seemed to be certain disaster. "Listen, I'll go overboard and cut the rope off the propeller," my brother volunteered. My father looked somewhat skeptical. The boat was still bouncing around in the sea and the water was icy-cold and deep. "Tie a rope around my waist, and I'll just go down and cut it off," he said confidently. Dad's reluctance began to give way before my brother's courage and the dangerous dilem- ma we were still facing. "Don't say anything to your mother," he said to me as he began to tie the rope around Al's waist. I held the flashlight over the side as my brother lowered himself into the water, a hunting knife in hand. Down he went, my father holding the rope, the other end of which he had tied to a cleat. Then my brother came up breaking the surface, taking a big breath of air. "How's it going?" my dad asked anxiously. "O.K.," my brother replied as he went down under again. Four or five times he repeated this, going down and coming back up for air. It seemed forever that he was under the water the last time down. When he finally surfaced, he had a broad grin on his face. "It's done," he said as we pulled him up over the side^of the boat. He was shivering in the cold night air. As we wrapped him up in a warm blanket, I could feel a deep ap- preciative joy well up among us. My mother emerged from below-deck with a bottle of brandy in her hand. "Here Al, have a swig of this to warm you up." He took a hit off it as he dragged himself, exhausted, off to the warmth of the cabin below to drop off to sleep. Maine Maritime Museum by Helen Barnes The classic Friendship sloop, or lobster sloop, is part of Maine's extraordinary maritime history, dating back to the 1500s. The course of events that led to Maine's preeminence in fishing, shipbuilding, and seafaring are detailed in a major new exhibit at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. Now open in the Museum's new exhibit building, "A Maritime History of Maine" leads visitors through an introduction to life along the coast, to fisheries, wooden and steel ship- building, life on board ship, trading around the world, and recreational boating. A short video takes visitors to the ocean itself, and computer and board games allow visitors to try their own hands at sailing and worldwide trade. The exhibit, and the new Maritime History Building, opened to great fanfare in June. Also newly opened is another exhibit, "Family Fleets of Maine," describing some of the shipbuilding-seafaring dynasties of the Maine coast. Other smaller and changing exhibits round out the new building's many smaller galleries. The Friendship sloop was important in the growth of Maine's lobstering industry, and the development of working coastal boats in general. Friendships are highlighted in the "Lobstering and Maine Coast" exhibit at the Maine Maritime Museum. The museum is open daily, 9:30-5 p.m., year round, except major holidays. 49

Princess' story was published serially in the 1940s and '50s in Motor Boating and Rud- der before the first edition of the book. Princess — New York was first published in 1956 by the Bobbs-Merrill Company. The book received very positive reviews, even interna- tionally, and the British and Dutch editions soon followed. McKay republished a different version of the book under the title Princess in 1973. Reviews of the added material were not so positive. It is the 1956 edition that The Marine Museum of Dunedin has republish- ed, with a run of 1000 copies. What is it about this book that has captured the soul of an old wooden boat and the hearts of many a reader? I have only a glimpse of an answer, but even that is worthy of our atten- tion. It lies somewhere between reality and romanticism. The reality. Princess — New York is the chronicle of a journey beginning in 1938 in Flushing, Long Island, where Joe Richards purchased and rebuilt Princess, an old Wilbur Morse-built Friendship sloop; continuing down the coast to Fort Lauderdale; interrupted by World War II and a few sidetrips in Merchant Marine tugs; resuming after the war back up the East Coast; and ending on Long Island. The journey itself is worth the chronicle. It is absolutely entertaining, superbly written in the salty, humorous style of Joe Richards, and wonderfully illustrated by this same man. But Princess — New York is more than this. 51

Princess — New York captures the essence of the relationship between a master sailor and his beloved Friendship sloop. Some would label as ar- rogance Joe Richards' descriptions of how he handles that boat. I label it justified pride. Some disbelieve the personification of the boat. I believe every word. Princess is as alive to me as my own beloved old Friendship sloop. And yet, Richards offers much more than a story to which we fellow sailors can relate. He opens our world, our seas and our sloops, to landlubbers. He pulls them in and offers experiences and feelings they would otherwise miss in life. There are some production flaws, some distracting typographical errors, even on the covers of the new edition. But the book is beautifully typeset and illustrated. Needless to say, I do (with some small degree of prejudice) strongly recommend Princess — New York, to be read and re- read. The new paperback edition is available for $12.95 plus $1.50 shipping from The Marine Museum, 733 Edgewater Drive, Dunedin, Florida 34698. There is a happy ending for our sloop, Princess. Like her published namesake, she too is alive and well, soon to be refloated at The Marine Museum of Dunedin, not far from Joe Richards' home in Florida. Regretfully, she has not yet been rerigged from her current Marconi sail plan. Hopefully, that will happen soon. The museum also plans to collect as many of Joe Richards' paintings and sket- ches as possible. They are not easy to find. Should any reader have information con- cerning the location of a Richards' work, please let Bill Wheeler at the museum know. We Friendship sloopers owe our thanks to Bill Wheeler and the museum for preser- ving and making available a boat and a book that are vital parts of our sailing heritage. And above all, our thanks and respect go to Joe Richards who started the whole thing when he acquired an original Friendship sloop back in 1938. Pendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund by Elbert S. Pratt What are some of our past recipients doing today? One young man studied chemical engineering at Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute and is now with a chemical firm in Philadelphia. A young lady graduated from Columbia School of Law and is now practic- ing law in Little Rock, Arkansas. Another is a registered nurse and has been at Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport. A young man is pastor of the Advent Christian Church in Bristol, Connecticut. Another has a PhD in Marine Biology and now teaches at the Univer- sity of New Hampshire. The Sloop Society should be proud of the program in Friendship which it supports. The results show that the school districts in Maine, and particularly School Administrative District 40, which includes Friendship, are able to prepare our young people to meet today's challenges. Of course, in the final analysis, it is the initiative of the individual which counts; and Friendship young people have it. This last December the Board of Trustees of the Pendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund sent a letter to each senior at Medomak Valley High School who is a resident of Friend- ship. It contained information about the availability of the fund for Friendship young peo- ple planning to continue their educations. Briefly, the applicant must be a Friendship resi- dent, a high school graduate, and he or she must be enrolling in a program of education which is acceptable to the board. The ability of the student to undertake the work is considered. An interesting and totally unexpected side effect developed when Betty Roberts received a telephone call. The inquirer wanted to know if the scholarship is available for an ex- change student. When the board received the list of seniors from the high school, there was no indication that this person was from New Zealand, was completing his secondary education at Medomak Valley High School, and would be going home soon after gradua- tion in June. Betty explained that she was sure that this possibility had not occurred to the fund's founders, but that the fund is intended to be for the use of resident young people. In May 1989 a committee of Sloop Society members and Friendship residents, some of whom are not members, met and reviewed the applications which had been received. A representative from the committee then re- ported the findings to the board which made the final decision concerning the recipients ^f** and the amount that each would receive. A '/£ . representative of the board was present at the graduation exercises to pass out the awards. Since this is being written in March, we do not know how many awards will be made in 1989. The board of trustees is undertaking a fund- raising drive among Friendship property owners, resident and non-resident, who are not members of the Sloop Society. The number of people in this group approximates the number of members in the society. We hope that the contributions from both groups will add to the fund's principal so that we will be able to make more and larger awards. Donations are arriving from Sloop Society members who received the request for a con- tribution to the scholarship fund with their membership notices. If you have not contri- buted yet, please take the time to do so now. , l Pendl 53
