Just before and just after the turn of the century the air along the shores of Muscongus Bay was filled with the sound of pounding hammers as the local men built the Friendship Sloops. During one winter there were 22 sloops abuilding on the shore of Bremen Long Island alone. George Washington Carter, Rob McLain, Eugene McLain, Abdon Carter, George Carter and many others. Those times are recalled as the “good ole days.” Now along a hundred years later, we are having “good days” (no “ole” about them), and one of those “good days” was recently spent talking to Winnie Lash, grandson of George Carter of Bremen Sloop building fame and owner of Lash Brothers Boatyard in Friendship. You can see why Winnie comes rightfully by his ability to build boats, and why he has a natural love and feel for boats (the Friendship Sloop in particular) flowing through his veins. Winnie Lash was born in Friendship, Maine and after schooling he went to work at the old Camden Shipyard. He worked there many years in the mold loft and as helper to the head draftsman. In 1947 he left Camden and came to Friendship to run his own shop with his brothers. All sevven brothers have worked with him at some time or other, and at present he has two brothers and a son in the shop along with other helpers. During the last 33 years Lash Brothers Boatyard has built about 100 boats which number includes six Friendship Sloops, the rest being yachts, lobster boats, tow boats, and just everything. The first Friendship Sloop was Mary Ann built in 1958 and now owned by Dr. Joseph Griffin. Then in 1963 came Down- easter owned by Virginia Grew. 1964 saw Mr. Ernest Sprowl’s Dirigo appear on the water, and 1965 brought three more – Bernard MacKenzie’s Voyager, her

Here’s “TTie SMALL BOAT Journal a new magazine from National Fisherman, and the only boating magazine with the ac- cent on you, the small boat sailor. “Our little boat has been both reliable and a joy,” says Geof Heath about his Friendship Sloop, Departure in “The Small Boat Journal.” Geof sailed his “pocket yacht” 1600 miles to the Friendship Sloop Races and came away with the Gladiator’s Trophy. We share Geof’s enthusiasm (and yours) for small craft, and in “The Small Boat Journal” we .focus on building techniques, design traditions and innovations, repair and maintenance, crusing, trends, gear, and fun — from a small boat point of view. It’s the only magazine that brings you absorbing small boat reading on every page. You can subscribe to receive twelve copies a year for $12.00.

The fact there has been no new wooden Friendship Sloops from the Lash Brothers Boatyard is probably due to the fast pace of life making wood main- tenance hard, and the encroachment of the fiberglass world. The Lashes only build wooden boats. Don’t think for one minute that Winnie Lash is sitting around twiddling his thumbs. He has been building all kinds of boats, but especialy draggers of which the present one is the largest. What a boat she is! She is so large that a tem- porary addition was put onto the boat shed to cover her, and new ways were needed to stand her weight. Winnie and his crew can well be proud of their work on the Walter Alden Leeman, Sr. She is a 71 foot dragger constructed of dark red plantain mahogany from the Phillipines, and at launching time she weighted 73 ton. Now comes the hardest part, Winnie says, and that is rigging her. Ready for sea she will weigh 125 to 130 tons. Just for fun, Winnie compared his latest boat to the last boat Wilbur Morse built: Wilbur Morse Dragger 1921 Hull-length90′ Engine 90 h.p. Speed 5 k Compass Sounding lead $32,000 Lash Brothers Dragger 1980 Hull-length 71′ Engine 560 h.p. Speed 11 k 2 radar Facsimile machine 2 side band radios Loran Plotter Scanner $500,000 plus “You got to catch a lot of fish to make up that difference.” Winnie Lash is a quiet unassuming man that knows his boats and business. He can draw a water line on a hull in the shop, and when she is in the water the line will be right at the water’s edge. He has a great collection of old engines, and if his wife Barbara can’t find him she usually knows he is out tinkering with a “onelunger” or some other engine. It is a special treat to see the twinkle in Winnie’s eyes when he is operating his old corn grinder. If you were at the last New York World’s Fair and happened to be at the Marina section on Maine Day you saw not only the rededication of the Lash built Friendship Sloop Dirigo, but another unforgetable sight. There mid all the expensive gold trimmed yachts was a Friendship Dory with a man standing in the boat rowing like a Down- easter, and speeding along with coattails aflying. Of course it was Winnie Lash! Perhaps Winnie Lash can best be understood by the sign which for years hung just inside the door of his shop, “Work without prayer is like work with dull tools.” So the heritage of Wooden Boat building goes on and George Carter of Bremen has another good boat builder coming along is his great grandson, Wesley Lash. No fiberglass boat can have the beauty and grace and personaitiy of a wooden boat – so, Winnie, keep those wooden boats coming.

This sign means STEER CLEAR If you work or play on the lakes and water- ways of Maine, this sign could save your life. Central Maine Power has hung hundreds of these international orange markers on water- spanning power lines throughout our serv- ice area. Why? Because the taller wood and metal masts used on newer craft have created the potential hazard of contact with over- head powerlines. This sign acts as a safety warning to the boating public to STEER CLEAR. And since many summer camps located by lakes and ponds have an active sailing and boating program, the young people using these facilities should be taught to watch for this warning too. You can get a free safety sticker to attach to your boat mast as a reminder to steer clear just by contacting any CMP office and asking for it. You may also pick one up at many marinas. And if you’re a camp owner or counselor, the stickers are available for camp use in the quantity you need. Electric power is a great and helpful servant, but it must be treated with respect. Everyone must work to make electricity as safe as possible.

My four years here at Farmington have at times been tedious, but for the most part, a great learning and growing experience, both professionally and personally. None of this could have happened without your help and support. I often wonder what it would be like if I had not been able to pursue my teaching career. I love my profession intensly. I hope that because of your kind generosity, you will be able to send other Friendship high school students to college. Please let me know if there is any way in which I can help this summer and in the coming years to raise funds to send students to school. Again, thank you. Sincerely yours, JeanL.Bragan, Friendship, Maine

There was an excitement in her voice, the question, really an exclamation, exploded as she rushed down the drive be- tween Friendship Market and Friendship House. Sure enough, in front of Carlton Simmons’ old boat shop, at the end of the driveway lay an ancient Friendship sloop cradled, but resting proudly. Others had seen her, looked her over, commented about fifty-fifty like, “What a wreck”, “Isn’t she handsome”, “Gonna burn her?”, “Aren’t you lucky – gonna rebuild her? ” There was a spill over from the original recognition. Love lit up her eyes and the continued excitement blurted out, “My daddy owned her for years -1 did a lot of growing up on that boat. Sometimes I thought he loved her more than me. Each evening after work at the boatyard we would board her together, fuss over her, tending to her gear. Weekends were for sailing, week nights were for caring.” I know exactly how she felt – at least about the caring. Right now there may be more rot than stout wood, but one day… Before the future plans, a little history: like most Friendships it is “piecey”, some garnered here, some there, but always with the hope of someday getting it all together. Probably her greatest fame came because she was owned by the well known author of the comic strip “Archie”, Bob Montana. He bought her from John Blakemore in 1955, the father of the excited lady from Warren, Maine, Jane Robbins. According to Mrs. Robbins her father purchased the boat in 1947 from an old Norwegian sea captain, Arne Anderson, who was then night watchman of the Sample Shipyard in Boothbay Harbor, the same yard that employed Mr. Blakemore. Mr. Montana trucked her from Boothbay Harbor to Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. After the fresh water took its toll, he trucked her back again to Friendship in m9.. 2 to have the Lash Brothers Boatyard rebuild her. She raced that year placing second in Class A on Friday (see “It’s A Friendship”, First Edition, p. 38). The days of maturity caught up with Montana, the boat was sold after better than two decades of ownership. She was sold again, then again, but this time sadly repossessed and lay neglected in a New Hampshire yard until Chuck Stein of Nashua found her, bought her, started to reclaim her old beauty and strength. Chuck had had bad luck having her rebuilt in New Hampshire, so he took her to a Wells, Maine, yard where he was advised to burn her – so he advertised, and… The ad appeared at the time we were staying at Elmer Jameson’s on Jameson Point, the week on Sloop Days, 1978. Mr. Stein and I made a Yankee swap deal, and last June Midcoast Marine hauled her from Wells on the most fascinating trailer ever. Bob Sylvia unloaded that boat single-handed!

MAINE 832-5317 04572 THE BIGGEST TRUCK EVENT IN OUR HISTORY Carlton Simmons’ old boat shop was shorn up. Ray Janes and I built a stout longleaf yellow pine cradle and winched the old girl in as snug as you please – except for about ten inches of her billet. So, like the Biblical prodigal, White Eagle has returend from sinful fresh water, to the place of her birth to be reborn. Hopefully, rebuilding will begin this summer. White Eagle will be completely replanked in cedar, her old style shelf replaced, redecked, and finished off in true Friendship style – plain and stout. And then… That can best be told by what caused Betty Roberts to snicker, well, she outright laughed. I had been pestering her for a berth race days. She did not know me, or that I had rebult and sailed a Harvey Gamage 1928 schooner for years under a New Bedford Yacht Club burgee. One race was the best that could be mananged. Ater thanking Betty, I remarked “We have enjoyed Friendship, Sloop Days, and all the folks so much we have decided to buy a place here, get a Morse sloop, join the Society, and ‘win the race’ “. Wouldn’t you laugh, too? Before the week was out, White Eagle was mine. Before the summer was done, we had bought the old Post Office (now Friendship House), joined the Sloop Society, and I am planning a handsome transom! Come on down the drive by Friendship House, swap a few tall ones, (tales that is), and dream a little with me. You are welcome. Editor’s Note: John R. deSousa is a retired Minister of the United Church of Christ, one time serving as Assistant to the President of Bangor Theological Seminary. An avid boatman, he now restores antique and classical boats. The deSousas divide their time between Friendship and Deltona, Flordia. Intensive Care? If your taste in hand and skin creams is tweeked by sen- timent, you should know those Vaseline Intensive Care tele- vision commercials were filmed in Friendship Harbor last year, with a happy cast of many, many Friendship folks, gathered together by casting director pro tern Betty Roberts.
