Roger has served two terms as Commodore and many years as yearbook editor. Their dedica- tion to the Society, participation in countless Society events, pub- lication of key sailing books, and their quiet devotion to the cause of Friendship has given us all a legacy. Roger and Mary met in 1938. From 1945- 1981, Roger worked at Belmont Hill School as the head of the upper school. He was act- ing headmaster from 1978-79 and headmas- ter in 1981. He taught English and coached soccer, intramural hockey, crew and sailing. Mary worked as the school's librarian. By 1956, they had their sloop Eastward built and their Friendship legacy began. Eastward was first to cross the line in the first sloop regatta held in Friendship in 1961. The following year, Eastward took home the Governor's Trophy. In the early years, boats would receive additional handicaps if they fin- ished first in a previous race. Roger used to remark that Eastward's handicap was so large, the race committee must want him to go pick blueberries before continuing the race. Eastward has been recognized at each regatta as a formidable competitor with a prepared crew and rigorous captain. Roger and Mary have never tired of sharing the magic of Eastward. From their apprentice cruises - to introduce youngsters to the won- der of sailing - through the WoodenBoat School and their own charter business, they have shown hundreds of people the wonder and delight of sailing. Roger has combined his gift of writing with his love of sailing and become the esteemed author of many books, including: Eastward, Friendship Sloops, Sailing in the Fog and, a staple to all who cruise, The Cruising Guide to the New England Coast. Roger and Mary are the epitome of what the FSS seeks for all members. They raised their three sons, Bob, Bill and John, sailing Eastward. Roger is extremely curious, loves history, loves to build things, and never stops moving - even for a swing in a hammock. Mary has a love for the time spent on the water. She is an avid fisherwoman and is in her glory while catching mackerel. She even claims that hoisting the sails on Eastward is a sure cure for arthritis! The word "friendship" permeates every- thing about the FSS. Besides racing, trophies and awards, there is a deeply rooted tradition which binds all the members of the Society. Fun-filled, family-oriented activities are held annually to honor the beauty of the Friendship Sloop. Roger and Mary Duncan have been part of that legacy from the beginning. Generations of new families and their children continue to be welcomed into the Society. It is through the wonderful, continu- ous contributions of members such as Roger and Mary Duncan that we continue to gather and enjoy life the way it should be for all. For 37 years, the Duncans have worked quietly and tire- lessly for the cause of friendship for all. The society wishes to extend its gratitude and best wishes to two very fine people.

The little room was much too small to handle the whole audience. Many stood at the entrance and even out- side to enjoy Roger’s profound knowledge and humorous presentation about Maine’s early history. Only two days earlier we had seen him sailing up and down Rockland harbor on board Eastward, with the piper on the foredeck. Today, Gladiator and a beautiful model of the Friendship sloop decorate our win- dows in our home high above Bucks Har- bor. We will continue to admire the sloops and to enjoy talking with other sloop sailors who occasionally visit our restaurant. However, the day will come when our dream will come true and we will sail our own sloop. We only have to believe in our dreams, and therefore we will name the sloop Just Believe. A Word of Encouragement for SlOOpleSS EnthUSiaStS by Tim Sullivan This past fall, I decided it was time to begin to fulfill a longtime dream of sailing the Maine coast as I had done in the ’70s. First I scanned the classifieds in the local sailing publications, with not much success. Then someone suggested contact- ing the Friendship Sloop Society. Doug Amsbary was very helpful and sent a list of 20 or so sloops for sale. Now the next decision. While my heart was saying “wood,” my sometimes over- practical brain was telling me “fiberglass; you don’t have time to care for a wooden boat.” So I decided to buy a wooden sloop only if it was in wicked good shape. I soon found out that many of the sloops on the list have been for sale for years, but had such a hefty price tag that there they sat. And, unfortunately, some had been unattended and neglected. The reason, I assume, for the high price is that the boating industry as a whole isn’t what it was 10-15 years ago, and that the owners paid a lot for their sloops and are reluctant to let them go at today’s prices. My lobster boat, which I built in 1989 for $65,000, would be lucky to fetch $25,000 on today’s market. The simple fact is that boats, especially wooden boats, aren’t going to increase in value by just sitting there and, in most cases, incurring annual storage fees. Such was the case with Windward, which I recently purchased. The bottom line is that there are at least a few Friendship sloops out there that are in dire need of enthusiastic new owners. And it seems that the present owners are reluctant to sell for a loss, but they must realize that their boats are depreciating where they sit every day. Windward was listed five years ago through a broker for $ 16,000, and a survey valued her at nearly that much. But there she sat until I bought her for considerably less. Remember, anything is worth only what someone is willing to pay. Having said all this, it is not my inten- tion to insult or upset anyone. It is just sad to see some of these handsome links to our past sit and sweat under an old canvas cover year after year when I know that they could be in the hands of someone who would care for them like a family member. It is also not my intent to leave anyone with the impression that I have found all Friendship sloops out of style and lying at the mercy of the elements. People’s lives and situations sometimes change, leaving no time, or people may lose the ability to maintain an old boat properly for one rea- son or another. But, for a few people who have contem- plated owning and caring for a Friendship sloop, the opportunity is at hand. It is now truly a buyer’s market. 31

The Skipper said, “Coming about to port!” I got into position to do my job. The boat came around; I loosened my line, but nobody pulled it in. I looked back to see what was wrong, and I discovered that Chet Parker, who was handling the mainsail, has slipped overboard! Everybody saw this but me, and Chet got wet only up to his shoulders before he was pulled aboard. Less than five minutes later a power boat pulled alongside. They had retrieved Chet’s hat. All’s well that ends well. Sloop Society — I think it was in July of 1983 that I checked in at the Captains’ Meeting for the first time. Our friends, David and Nancy Bell, had told me that if I want- ed to do some sailing I should report to Boothbay Harbor on the first day of the Sloop Society’s annual Regatta. I was invited by Chester Parker of North Bridgton to join the crew of Venture, 1912. This was the beginning of some great friendships, and I sailed with Chet for three years. That first day out, my assignment was to loosen the jib when we tacked 33
Adventures with Joe by Thomas L. Berry Joe and I have been sailing together for 14 years. Times, jobs, and even family sta- tus have changed over the years, but Joe and I have managed to sail together through it all. We’ve cruised the Chesapeake on his boat, we’ve raced on the Chesapeake on other boats, and we’ve gone offshore from Miami to Montego Bay a couple of times. And damned if almost every time we’ve been on a boat together hasn’t been an adventure … in some sort of a negative way. On my first sail as Wenona’s skipper, we ran aground. I was basking in my new role as skipper while Joe was readying the anchor on the bow and Bob was steering. Joe had been to our anchorage before and kept telling Bob to go more to the right; I smiled and relayed the messages. Bob stayed left, and we ran hard aground. Wenona refused to budge. There we stayed until about 0300 the next morning when Joe was the first to wake to a level, floating boat. We promptly moved to deeper water. A full season of sails later (with a lot of “skipper” experience), Joe and I embarked on our annual spring cruise. We chose to sail where neither of us had ever been before, by sea or land; we ventured north to Eastern Shore’s Sassafras River on the longest sail Wenona and I had endured together. We’d readied the boat the night before, so we got a fairly early start at 0900 on a stunning May day with steady 12-15 knot SE winds. Southeast winds were perfect for scooting up the bay, but made for a slow sail on the river, so we motor-sailed the five miles out the Magothy to Baltimore Light, where we powered down the little Volvo that could and quietly cruised north. With the jib, stay- sail, main and-main topsail set, we broad- reached our way up the bay, averaging 5.5 knots and often exceeding 7 knots. We laughed, ate lunch, had a couple of beers, and laughed some more. Man, this sail was just too unbelievable; a perfect, sunny, warm, smooth broad reach for two guys who ALWAYS managed to have at least one little snafu. By 1500 we were at Howell Point and turned to snake our way up the Sassafras to Georgetown. Two hours later we tied up at the Skipjack Cove Marina, where I noted in the logbook that it “seems like this is the proper payback for all the problem sails of the past. Too bad every sail can’t be like this, Nirvana!” Little did I real- ize what was to follow. After an invigorating celebratory evening, we commenced another adventure the next morning. It was another lovely day, with one exception … no wind. We motored away from the marina at 1000, and made it to the river’s mouth when Joe noticed a dif- ferent color exhaust belching from Wenona’s stern. I quickly shut down the lit- tle Volvo that could, removed the cooling intake hose from the engine, and blew it clear. But no water came back. After decid- ing that the eminently irreparable problem was at the thru-hull fitting, Joe had a Rube Goldberg idea to by-pass the thru-hull and run a longer hose over the side. It was a great idea, but when we got up to 5 knots the hose came out of the water, even with a heavy wrench and pliers wired to its end. The next laborious idea, to put the hose in a bucket of water and keep filling the bucket, was never realized; the little engine that could decided that it wouldn’t. We bled the fuel line; the Volvo started again, then quickly died. Drifting closer to a shipping channel, we opted to eat crow and call the marina for a tow. A NW squall hit us before the tow arrived, and we shot back up the Sassafras at 4.5 knots under the staysail alone. The tow arrived and followed us up the river until the weather abated, and then towed us to the marina, where we retired to the bar to buy our tower a well-deserved beer. Day three of our adventure began with a 34 VISll IO me iiicwnaiiit-. s MIUJJ at u/ju. inc bled the fuel line, turned over the engine, and got no bang. He changed filters, bled the lines into the injector pumps, turned the engine over, and got some white goo to come out of the line. He hadn’t a clue what it was. Joe and I, of course, were simply waiting for the adventure to continue. Not knowing what he did other than evoking some mechanical wizardry, he finally got the Volvo to turn over and fire up. Remembering our previous day’s cooling problem, I looked over the stern to see water gushing forth at full gusto. Another unsolved mystery. We settled up our bills, bought more fuel, and departed at 1010. There were light northerly winds, so we again iiiuiuieu an me way uuwn me uay. At precisely the same place where we were the day before, the little Volvo began to choke. And it choked. Finally it died. We took a new tack, and ran the fuel line direct- ly to a spare five-gallon jug, bled the line, fired up the little engine, and motor-sailed to the mouth of the Magothy River, arriving at 1730. We chose to brave it and sail up the river, and a nice sail it was, finally. The climactic sail was ultra-serene, a fit- ting end to a weekend that began with a promise of the ultimate payback for too many adventures, but contained the usual unwanted experiences that foster growth, humility and resolve in the ever-changing world of sail. Friendships forever. On Receiving a Brass Lamp for the New Schooner Christmas 1996 by Roger F. Duncan Heavy, thick and wet the fog that day Shut down an evening chilly, dark and damp. The schooner to safe harbor found her way; The skipper went below to light the lamp. Its pleasant glow drove out the foggy night. The trusty Shipmate stove soon did its work. The cabin was an isle of warmth and light Where pressure cooker hissed and coffee perked. Oil clothes and boots were shed and out the hatch. From locker then the skipper brought the jug, And like a spring released all hands relaxed And cheerly raised aloft each brimming mug. In light and warmth that drives out cold and damp All hail with thanks the donor of the lamp. 35

Pendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund of the Friendship Sloop Society This scholarship fund was proposed by William Pendleton, owner of the Friendship sloop Blackjack, in 1967. He was a life-long educator from Searsport who thought that a scholar- ship fund for the young people of Friendship would serve as a “Thank You” to all the people of the town for the services provided the members of the Society during the regattas while they were being held in Friendship. In November of 1983, the Friendship Sloop Society turned the fund into a trust, with townspeople being named as trustees. The income of the trust is to be used for the “residents of the town of Friendship, Maine, in the form of a scholarship for those who are seeking to further their post-high school educa- tion.” The current trustees are Bill Zuber, chairman; David Bell, treasurer; Betty Roberts, secretary; Faye Bragan; Mary Carlson; Sue Compagna; Viola Davis; Elbert Pratt; and Betty Wotton. Larry and Debbie Plumer of Newbury, Massachusetts, current co-commodores of the Sloop Society, serve as ex-officio members. Hadlock Award As of November 16, 1996, 87 young people have been helped with their post-secondary educational costs. One- hundred and nine scholarships have been awarded, as some students were helped in more than one year. A total of $64,550 has been distributed, a truly fitting response from the people of Friendship and the Sloop Society since Bill Pendleton first proposed the idea. During the past 30 years, many peo- ple have donated time, energy, and money to help the fund grow. The prin- cipal is invested conservatively, and only the interest generated each year can be used for scholarship awards. You can help to increase the amount available to be awarded with your tax- deductible donation to the Pendleton Scholarship Fund. Contributions can be mailed to the treasurer: Reverend David Bell HC 61, Box 321, New Harbor, ME 04554 Your donation will be deeply appre- ciated by the young people of the town of Friendship. This award, presented in memory of our past Commodore and skipper of Heritage, Bill Hadlock, is given at the annual meeting of the Society to a couple who meet the follow- ing criteria: 1. Practice safe sailing and sound seamanship 2. Demonstrate family participation 3. Share knowledge and help others 4. Support the aims of the Society 5. Appreciate the beauty, charm and splendor of the Maine coast The winners in 1996 were BILL AND PRISCILLA RAND, who have always sailed in their little sloop as a family. They have sailed their engineless sloop to Boston for the Tall Ships, and then sailed back east again for the Regatta in Boothbay. Bill is a past commodore of the Society and has shared home videos of the building of his sloop by his son with us at Society meetings. The Rand family truly surpasses all of the criteria listed above. 38 1997 Friendship Sloop Society Officers Commodores Vice-Commodore Secretary Treasurer Historian Measurer Race Committee Chairman Membership Chairman Publicity Chairman Friendship Day Chairpersons New London Race Committee Larry and Debbie Plumer Tad Beck Caroline Phillips Rev.

The Bancroft & Morang Awards The Bancroft Award is given in memory of Winthrop Bancroft, owner of Elicia III, and an early and enthusiastic supporter of the Friendship Sloop Society. This award rec- ognizes an unusual contribution to the Friendship tradition. It may celebrate the rebuild- ing of an old sloop or the launching of a new one, an outstanding voyage, the work of a poet, a painter or a model maker. The recipient of the Bancroft Award in 1996 was HOLT “JACK” VIBBER, who sin- glehandedly serves as the entire committee offering Friendship Sloop owners the chance to sail and race in New London, Connecticut, every summer in early June. Jack meticu- lously hand-carves the wooden trophies for each participant, and faithfully attends almost every meeting of the Society. He and his wife Virginia have made a truly unusual contri- bution to the Friendship tradition. The Morang Award is in memory of Bruce N. Morang: helmsman, Yearbook Editor, Race Committee Chairman, and a pillar of our Society. Professionally, he was a newspa- per editor and a talented writer. The award is for the best manuscript submitted for publi- cation in the Yearbook. In 1996, it went to ROLAND EARTH for his Cruising Rules arti- cle. His book, Cruising Rules: Relationships at Sea, has just been published. A chapter from his book is included in this year’s yearbook, beginning on page 21. 39
