3 Commodore’s Message One of the signs of a healthy organization is change. This year the homecoming has major changes. First, it is being held on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday schedule rather than midweek. Second, a cruising event has been incorporated in the program. Further, the handicap alley race format that generated so much fun last year will be repeated. The Friendship Sloop Society welcomes all to Rockland and our forty-sixth annual Homecoming. If you haven’t attended before, join in all the activities, make new friends, and have a good time. Hear first hand of our history. Learn about sailing and cruising in sailing lobster boats. See that time has failed to relegate this turn of the century gaff rigged fishing boat to the past. Her beauty, fine lines and seaworthiness keep this model active today. Enjoy the sight of twenty-five Friendships under sail in Rockland Harbor. Visit and help celebrate our maritime heritage. Our fleet rafts up at the side of the Rockland Town Dock every afternoon after the races. Meet the kids and see what keeps our society going. The new schedule will make it easier for the public and everyone’s friends to join in the fun. It is a more convenient time for the local boats and crews. The race format used at Friendship – start together, inside the harbor, twice around including handicap ally makes for spectacular views and friendly sailing. There are trophies for each day of racing. The race committee has been charged with arranging for all boats to finish simultaneously. This year will be special for those that enjoy cruising. Miff Lariat has organized a 4-day cruise to Rockland from Southwest Harbor. Following the Saturday activities, the cruise will start on Sunday the 16th from Southwest, rendezvous at Pulpit Harbor Tuesday evening and conclude with a Wednesday morning crossing of Penobscot Bay to Rockland. Join in, this is guaranteed to be a good time. Special thanks go to our yearbook editor and to the vice commodore who generously assumed the work and responsibilities of publishing this yearbook. Finally we want to thank and acknowledge our appreciation to the City of Rockland, the Rockland Harbormaster and crew, Share the Pride, the Chamber of Commerce, the dedicated volunteers that cater the Friday night dinner, and the advertisers whose generosity make the publishing of this book possible. Please support them. They are listed in the categorized advertising index at the back of this book. Looking forward to seeing you in Rockland. Charles and Maria Burnham

5 – – – We Dedicate This Yearbook – – – We are pleased as punch to dedicate the Friendship Sloop Society’s 2006 Yearbook to a truly deserving individual – – – an individual of many talents and capabilities; one who has nobly fulfilled each and every task to come before him within the Society – – – DICK SALTER. But let’s go back to the beginning. It was in 1972, following a lengthy search for a Friendship Sloop, that Dick Salter found an advertisement in a yachting publication of the day for Old Baldy. As it had earlier developed, her previous owner employed Old Baldy as a water taxi at Cranberry Island. By the time Dick had first set his eyes on her, she had come to Ralph Stanley’s yard. Built of cedar planking on oak frames, Old Baldy was Dick’s delight. Solid though she was, Dick eventually found that her size proved limiting to his expectations. Thus, Old Baldy was sold in 1975 when Dick acquired Liberty, a “Dictator” hull by Jarvis Newman, with deck and house by Ralph Stanley. Dick then trucked Liberty home to Manchester, MA where, in 1976, he added a ballasted keel, an engine and other “goodies”. He then hauled Liberty to Winter Harbor where Bruce Lanning was to sufficiently finish her so that by May 13, 1980, at 1313 hours, Dick was able to depart, under power only, for the trip back home to Manchester. Dick remained “in- command” of Liberty until around 1993, when she went into the ownership of Peter Carter and eventually on to Lake Michigan. But we digress, as this article is supposed to be a dedication to Dick Salter rather than about boats – – – although one can hardly discuss one without going into detail on the other. Almost from day one, Dick Salter has made significant contributions within the Friendship Sloop Society. With Liberty barely finished in 1980, Dick took the fleet to Boston, where they led the memorable Tall Ships Parade into the harbor. In 1985, Liberty and Dick won the Governor’s Trophy in the final regatta at Friendship. As if that were not enough, it was the following year that Liberty, Captain Salter in-command, took the Ridgway Trophy at Marblehead. Notable among the Liberty crew of that era, were individuals with names such as Leo Campbell, Bob Rex and Hugh Verry. Dick Salter receives accolades from the chair of the Trophy Committee Liberty

6 This is but a thumbnail sketch of Dick Salter’s sailing efforts on behalf of the Society. Ashore, Dick’s contributions have been even greater. Our longtime official measurer, Dick became the Society’s first commodore in the year when we transitioned from the position of leadership that had previously been known as the president. Following his watch as our first commodore, Dick thankfully refused to step into retirement; for Dick was to become our first “Tech Tips” author in the FSS Newsletter – – – and for many years, Dick was at the helm as our annual meeting auctioneer. For a long time, Dick has voluntarily been the on-going December holiday party coordinator, a wonderful end-of-the-year event as we begin to hunker down for a long winter’s nap. Currently, we find Dick Salter deeply immersed with the Society’s Race Committee program aboard his newest command, Messing About, a vessel aptly named for someone who has devoted so much of his life to “messing about in boats”. Dick has proven himself indispensable with his highly professional race-mark setting efforts, along with the very capable Bill Zuber, at Rockland. Commodore, measurer, author, auctioneer, winning skipper, race committee member and party coordinator, Dick has done it all – – – masterfully and magnificently! These are but a few of the reasons why we have chosen to dedicate the 2006 FSS Yearbook – – – to our very own Dick Salter.

11 Freedom By Tom Halsted I’ve known and sailed with Dick Dudman for more than forty years. We met in Washington, where he was at the Washington Bureau of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and I was doing arms control work. In April, 1970, the paper sent him to Vietnam just after American forces invaded Cambodia. He and two other reporters were captured on the Vietnam-Cambodia border by Cambodian Khmer Rouge guerrillas and were prisoners of first the Cambodians and then the North Vietnamese for more than a month—beaten, threatened with execution, and dragged from one primitive jungle camp to another, dodging American B-52 bombing raids, as they tried to prove they were bona fide journalists and not CIA spies. After nearly six weeks, they were finally released on the outskirts of Saigon. (Dick wrote a great book about his ordeal called Forty Days with the Enemy). During his captivity, Dick later told me, he made a promise: “If I ever get out of here alive, I’m going to Southwest Harbor and get Ralph Stanley to build me a Friendship Sloop, I’ll call her ‘Freedom,’ and I’m going to spend the rest of my life cruising the waters of Maine.” As we all know, he did all those things. Freedom was launched in the bicentennial year 1976. It was not long afterward that Dick called me from Little Cranberry, in search of someone who would join him in fulfilling the last part of that vow he’d made himself. I joined him for the cruise from Islesford to Friendship and the regatta in 1977. Every year since, with few exceptions, I have had the pleasure of cruising with Dick aboard Freedom — along the coast of Maine, from Casco Bay to Quoddy Head, and beyond, into Passamaquoddy Bay, to St. Andrews, up the St. John River, and across the Bay of Fundy to Nova Scotia, where a Friendship Sloop is a rare sight. Once (thanks to my creative but flawed navigation techniques) we nearly made an amphibious landing on Roaring Bull ledge, in thick fog just off Isle au Haut, and another time succeeded in running thoroughly aground off Crazy Point in New Brunswick, but most of the time we stayed out of serious trouble, and enjoyed a lot of glorious sailing in these welcoming waters. Freedom started out so traditionally equipped that for the first few years Dick and I navigated by compass and wristwatch alone, spending many an anxious moment feeling our way along a rocky shore in thick fog, listening to the too-loud sound of surf on a nearby but invisible rocky shore, or hunting for that elusive bell or whistle in mid-Penobscot or Jericho Bay, off Cutler or Campobello. In the early years, Freedom had no roller furling, no radio, no Loran or GPS, a broken depth finder, an unwieldy scissors for a boom crutch, kerosene running lights, and of course no winches. Tying in miles of reef points in a sudden blow (particularly the last three or four of them, way aft of the transom), or getting thoroughly dunked while clinging to a plunging bowsprit, trying to secure a wildly flogging jib a long way from the safety of the deck, struggling to light and hang kerosene running lights in a twenty-knot breeze in mid-Fundy, or getting a better workout than one Continued p. 12

12 bargained for, hoisting sail and handling sheets without winches, is what makes Friendship Sloop sailing so special. But over time, Freedom gradually acquired, one by one, the newfangled gadgets that made her safer and easier to handle, making up for all but the last of those aforementioned deficiencies. Freedom looks as beautiful as the day she first slid down Ralph Stanley’s ways thirty years ago – but she is Dick’s no longer. He sold her last summer to Earl (“Duke”) Collier, but with the proviso that he be allowed to race her in one last Friendship Sloop Regatta and one last Retired Skippers Race. I had the pleasure of joining him for both of them, taking the tiller one last time as Freedom put in a creditable performance at Castine, beating most of the fleet across the finish line. It was a fitting conclusion to a thirty-year collaboration for Freedom, for Dick, and for his most fortunate sometime shipmate.

13 Ralph W. Stanley, Inc. Wooden Boats for Work & Pleasure Southwest Harbor, Maine 04679 (207) 244-3795 Atlantic to Pacific Friendship Style by Nancy Toppan When Rudyard Kipling said, “East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet,” he did not count on Friendship sloopers. Our East Coast family had a great chance to sail with a West Coast Friendship skipper last August in San Diego. The saga began in April 2004 when Peter and I sailed in San Diego harbor on one of those other sloops. Our skipper noticed our Friendship Sloop Society shirts and remarked that he knew of a Friendship in the harbor. We were skeptical about whether or not he even knew what a Friendship was, but he sailed right up to Pacific Child, on her mooring off Shelter Island. We were impressed. Unfortunately, no one was abroad, but Peter located the marina that managed the mooring for Pacific Child. We visited the office and asked if we could leave our contact information for the owners. Several weeks later, our phone rang and it was Catherine Randak, calling from Salt Lake City. Catherine and Kendall Brady own Pacific Child and Salt Lake City is their home when they are away from their boat. Fast forward a few months and Peter’s family is planning a reunion, but no one has any idea as to where we should gather. The family is spread between New England and Arizona. Peter recommends the same hotel on Shelter Island where we stayed the year before. His three older sisters agreed and let Peter organize the event. The first thing he did was email Catherine and Kendall to ask if they might be in San Diego when the Toppan clan was planning to gather. Luckily for us, Ken was going to be in San Diego at the same time. We knew we could leave Compromise safely on her mooring in Scituate harbor for a few days while we sailed in San Diego. She would understand. After we reached San Diego, a few cell phone calls between our Boston and Salt Lake City home-based phones resulted in plans for sailing. Ken was a great sport and agreed to take our family out on Saturday and Sunday. Sight unseen, Ken took the Arizona-based group out Saturday afternoon as we watched from the waterfront. These occasional sailors came back raving about their great afternoon. The next day, Peter & I, Andrew, Jason and Joey, Jason’s girlfriend, met Ken at the marina. As Ken maneuvered out of the marina, he gave Peter a few pointers about the boat and then let him take the Continued p. 14

14 helm. Ken said several times during the afternoon that he did not often get the chance to just sit and enjoy the sailing because he was always the “captain”. He was enjoying the change. Peter was happy to have the wheel and we were all having a grand time. Everyone should see San Diego from the water! True to the way Andrew and Jason go about things, after less than 30 minutes of jib tending, they were suggesting a different configuration for Ken’s jib sheet fairleads. He graciously allowed them to make the changes, knowing that he could switch it all back if he did not like it. The changes seemed to work. The mother in me was glad that the guys did not break anything on this kind person’s boat and, well, maybe he really liked the new arrangement. We had a wonderful afternoon, took scads of pictures of San Diego Harbor and made a new friend. We were sorry that we did not get to meet Catherine, but she is planning a trip East next summer and we are making arrangements to get together. After the afternoon sail, we all had dinner at a wonderful restaurant. As the evening was coming to a close, Ken confided to us that his biggest worry had been that we would be “proper Bostonians” and formal sailing people. We certainly laid his worries to rest! He was a marvelous host to these strangers from the East Coast. Friendship Sloops generate friendships!

Now a sales consultant for Doyle Sailmakers Reach Road, Brooklin, Maine • 207-359-2003 Continued p. 16 Heritage By Steve Dunipace Heritage was once again a boat! To the casual observer during that summer of 2005, there could, in fact, be no argument that Heritage was again, indeed, a boat. She had a keel, a hull, and a deck. Her engine had been returned to its mounts and the necessary components to generate propulsion were intact. Outside, she was planked and caulked and had early signs of a soon-to-be brilliant coat of Malachy Green paint. Her newly constructed rudder was securely in place and stood ready for commands from the helm to guide Heritage along any future course. Inside, so much of the hardy oak structure that made her whole had disappeared behind sparkling bright cedar ceilings and the teak of Heritage’s sole. Bulkheads were reappearing. Joinery was slowly taking its rightful place. Plumbing and wiring had been replaced, refit, and reconnected. And, after many idle years, berthing once again provided seating and accommodations. Stainless rigging and brilliantly varnished spars stood ready to fulfill their supporting role, having at long last come down from their roost high in a Riverside Boat Company shed. Heritage was so close to the water I could feel her bow charging through the swell and her deck canting to the efforts of billowing and cracking canvas. I could hear her hull groaning, spars creaking, and taut shrouds singing in response to their strain. I could taste the salt spray in the air around her and see the glistening gold sparkle of reflected sun light in the gurgle of her wake. I could smell all of the wonderful, as well as not so wonderful, smells found only in and around a vessel at sea: bilge water, Herring Gulls, diesel fumes, low tide, the lee of a fishing boat and so much more. My senses were alive with excitement and the anticipation of at long last getting under weigh. At first, the restoration of Heritage had seemed daunting even impossible; tantamount to eating an elephant. If done at all, it would require many small bites over a considerable period of time. Three years before, I had ambitiously set out to eat that

16 elephant, and it appeared in 2005 that, after so many little bites, that was precisely what I had done. The enumerable steps in the process had been methodically, meticulously, and patiently carried out. And, though stuffed to the gills from the meal, I could look back with wonder and breathe a sigh of relief at having cleaned my plate…or so I thought. Then, like a broadside from Nelson’s Victory, came the realization that the elephant was but one course in this meal, as I was promptly served my giraffe. Heritage, though my first restoration, was not my first boat. I had in the past jumped through all of the hoops, checked all of the boxes, crossed all of the “T’s” and dotted all of the “I’s” necessary to commission a vessel. Therefore, I naively thought, I must be an expert and should encounter little difficulty doing so again. I could not have been more mistaken. This giraffe was a completely different animal and an enormous meal. Heritage was documented with the United States Coast Guard versus registered with the State of Maine, thus requiring an interaction with the federal government bureaucracy that left me yearning for the days in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Enough said. Heritage was wooden which had enormous implications for the manufacturers of seam sealer; enough used to seemingly sink the Titanic. I am still not certain where all that gooey red putty went! Heritage was more than twenty years old and had been declared totaled; an issue of considerable concern and not easily lost on those who underwrite insurance and conduct marine surveys. Heritage displaced three times that of her predecessor necessitating a significantly hardier mooring, so that I should avoid another course of elephant. Heritage was not fully nor even slightly provisioned and demanded countless carloads of equipment from Hamilton Marine. Heritage had been conceived and born prior to 1984 and the days of overbearing government regulations and thus had to be brought up to code. Heritage had more spars, more sails, more bright work, more paint; so many more little bites of the giraffe that ate away at the clock counting down the minutes, hours and days of summer. All this stood between Heritage and her return to the sea. The summer of 2005 was spent sanding, phoning, sealing, typing, caulking, copying, painting, faxing, polishing, mailing, sawing, shopping, bunging (more on that later), and nibbling away at that giraffe with a desperate even frantic hope of finishing my second course before the season ended. It was not to be. The sands of time paid no heed to my plight nor paused to honor my deadline. They continued remorselessly on, leaving Heritage, alone in her shed to look longingly at the ebb and flow of the daily tide. On a warm and humid afternoon as the curtains closed on the summer of 2005, I watched the tears of condensation rolling down Heritage’s cool cheeks; both of us having come to the realization that yet another long cold winter stood between us and our launch date, now set for 2006.

18 The Memories They Left With Me By Michael Gordon A pliant, worn leather bookmark droops from the closed book by my reading table at our home in St. Augustine. The book is Roger Duncan’s “Dorothy Elizabeth”. It is waiting my return to finish the final third and learn whether the hero survives adversity to sail again, or whether, like Nelson a century ago, he falls in the only place for a sailor to fall, in command on the deck of his ship, to be stored in a rum cask by his crew for the last run home. I am hopeful that the final fall is many years off, but I shall not know for another week when I am able to return to my reading. I met Roger only once, at the Friendship Sloop Days in Friendship in 1965. It was my first return to Maine since my wife Buff and I had driven our VW Beetle on a cold 1960 Thanksgiving break from first year law school classes to Farnham Butler’s yard on Mt. Desert to pick up parts for an AmphibiCon. The parts would remain under our bed, and in every corner of our small apartment, until I finished law school and laid the keel timbers the day after the 1963 bar exam. A long forgotten source, but of good fortune, brought news of the annual Friendship Sloop Races. Off went a letter to the Society in early 1965 about trading a lecture on announcing the America’s Cup races in 1964 for a couple of days aboard a Friendship to photograph the races. Betty Roberts responded with an invitation to lecture after the first race, plus a chance to crew on the newly built Dirigo the first race with Harold Lash and his brother, and then join Arthur Watson on his beautiful Palawan the second day. There has always been, for me, an indefinable mystique about Maine. I have never visited without wanting to return to live, but for a strange gene that brings upon hypothermia at temperatures below 70 F and caused me to flee Connecticut to Florida. But I have been successful in sending checks to the Society without genetic retribution. Another mystique is the character of the people. How could I not feel a lasting kinship when the folks to whom I was first introduced were Al and Betty Roberts, Roger Duncan, Harold Lash, Bill Danforth, Arthur Watson and his Maine spouse? On the first race day, one of two pristine Maine days promoted by chambers of commerce but often obscured by nature, I photographed the skipper’s meeting outside Betty and Al’s Lobster wharf and went aboard Dirigo. The boat was new. It would be its first Friendship races. During the next few hours I took a lot of photos of bows chasing us, somewhat altered late in the race by the buoy pick-up on the handicap leg. We finished in grid lock. That evening I gave my slide lecture in the town hall, and then joined Betty and Al and the Palawan’s German captain for a late dinner of, of course, lobster. Palawan was a delight to be aboard the next day. The Watsons asked me to tell them where the best location would be for photos, and we moved about the course the whole day from one vantage to another. I went though a couple of dozen rolls of film, and spent the next week praying that nothing went wrong at Kodak. The results were just what I needed for another lecture, which would become “Of Shoes and Ships and Continued p. 20

We sold our British Cornish Trader a few years ago. Our boating is mostly on a flats boat in the salt marshes behind our St. Augustine house, or a drift boat on Montana and Wyoming rivers. But when the rare fog slips in off the Atlantic and drifts up the beach to our house, filling the marshes behind with the smell of vintage years, I think for a moment I am back in Maine. But that thought is dispelled partly as through the mists appear a dozen silent Brown Pelicans, gliding inches over the wave crests. And partly by the thermometer, fixed at 73°F on this February afternoon as I write these words. They are words of fondness and appreciation, for the folk I met those years ago, for their land they cherish, and for the memories they left with me. Happy Birthday, Vera Jean, 100 years of sailing By Dennis Mayhew On April 2, 2006 we had a fantastic birthday party for Vera Jean. The party was at Bluewater Bay Marina, Niceville, Florida, her home dock. She was lookin’ good – with new paint and canvas, a completely dressed ship with full flags. The party was a grand occasion with many guests and a beautiful cake made for the occasion. I did a champagne toast, written by a friend as the sun set. Now here’s to the VERA JEAN Whose lines are classic and clean Really one hell of a boat So may she forever float In weather both mild and mean. Raise your glasses for a toast Because I am about to boast Of a boat that sails so sweet Whether on a reach or to a beat She is absolutely the most. BOTTOMS UP!

22 Can I Borrow the Boat Tonight? By Bob Zuber In the early hours of dawn as we coasted through “partly cloudy” I decided it was time. I wanted to cruise Penobscot Bay with my friends from D.C. and my only sister, Gladiator. I had grown up with Gladiator’s twelve tons, her beam and draft balanced at six feet. I had managed her thousand-something feet of sail. I even handled her heavy gaff-rig through a 180-degree jibe in a twelve-knot breeze. Not a dash of salt water came over the cockpit combing. Sure my Dad and younger brother had made adjustments to the boat over the years. You couldn’t expect them to sit through a long Maine winter and not ponder – and then make adjustments. But there wasn’t too much to adjust or that I was not familiar with. Gladiator was designed to sail herself, leaving her captain free to haul lobster traps. Left alone, she usually sailed better than any captain now aboard. After all, built in 1902, she was more seasoned. At 104, definitely more experienced. The sun rose past our bank of clouds. The morning got hot and the sky turned a brilliant blue, proving the “partly” of the day’s forecast. The “cloudy” stayed thick around us, hovering above the cold grey water. But as the sun burned, the fog lifted and thinned now and again, revealing the private summer homes of the two Havens. I studied my panel of experts as we motored through North Haven Reach. I had been considering a solo cruise for many a winter. Approaching my 40th, even with my “from away” handicap, I figured I might as well ask. My words broke the drone of the engine. They hung chilled in the morning air. Frozen really. The response was what I expected. My father and brother immediately stared silently out into the fog, busy looking for some approaching nun – you know, captain stuff. They were stunned by my suggestion. We came out of the Reach and caught a decent breeze off Brown’s Head Light as it finally became morning. Naturally, we cut the engine and hoisted the heavy gaff and unfurled the staysail. We headed to Hurricane Island for a brief walk about. No words had intervened since I put my question before the panel. It seemed still to hang a few points off the port bow. As my Dad and brother ruminated, the familiar islands surrounding Hurricane brought back memories. Preparing to make my case, a few choice moments of comparative seamanship flashed through my mind. Passing through the White Islands, we headed towards Valley Cove on the north end of Hurricane. I remembered one of Dad’s famous moonlight cruises… It had been a lovely affair. The cruise left the float at high tide, as the sun set red- orange over the high humpback of Hurricane. Simultaneously, the full moon rose— broad, low and blue over Green’s Island. As we sailed out past the shadow of the hump, the sun’s blaze caught in Gladiator’s broad main. Not to be outdone, the moon rose large and bright in the light of the setting sun, magnified to gigantic proportions by the last of Green’s heat. It hovered orange deepening to crimson over a third of the long island. That was the signal for the Gosling Rum to flow over the few shapeless chunks of ice smuggled aboard. The cubes had the consistency of rotten snow. The daily thaws and nightly freezes of Maine’s fifth season (that being “Mud”—from the end of February

23 through April) left old snow pitted and weak, causing it to slump. Similarly, the evening shut down of Hurricane’s generator left our cubes sagging – not quite able to recover. Many Goslings hit deformed cubes. (It was a proven fact that rum of this variety drew the wind—something inherent only to these fluffy young birds). The rising of the blue-green moon was also the cue for me to don my squeezebox. Originally my uncle’s, the three-octave hulk featured two-inch rhinestone letters that spelled “B O B.” It had passed on to me as fellow namesake of my grandfather. “B O B’s” gaudiness never failed to deliver, sparkling famously in the curious mixture of sunset and moonrise. I courageously pumped out the “Trish-Trash Polka” (as I liked to call it) and assorted waltzes. Although recognizable, the tunes were just out of reach of the youthful crew’s memories. But with the help of the Goslings, half-sung pieces of melody were put windward. Mumbled singing was mixed with conversation without clarity. A relaxed din wafted gently against the sails. We sailed across the broad sound and up along Green’s Island. At Heron Neck we rode the swells fresh from Portugal (or so I liked to think). It was always a marvel to watch the sunset and the moonrise. As we sailed between them, vibrant, iridescent colors played on the water, lapping quietly against the hull. Odd colors mixed without blending, making the sun a reddish-green, the moon a bluish-red, and the sea a reflection of colored lapping. The hues were projected onto the white canvas sails, changing without order like the Aurora Borealis. Only the axis angles of midsummer could create such dazzling effects. The evening’s blue gradually turned nearly black. The moon shrank to its recognizable shape and size and gave the stars their space. They brightened and multiplied. The flow of rum slowed with the shift of the evening wind, blowing warm off the islands. The accordion was retired for a cappella shanties. Starting with a rousing chorus of “Drunken Sailor,” the singing invariably slowed to Gordon Bok’s song about the bay on which we were sailing: “When you see old Isle au Haut, rising in the dawn; You will play in yellow fields, in the morning sun. Sleep now the moon is high, and the wind blows cold; For you are sad but young, and the sea is old.” Continued p. 24

The moon had coasted across the sky and hid behind Hurricane’s hump. Its fast fade muted the deep-green shadows of islands making them harder to see. The Captain turned back to off-load Gladiator’s rum-laden cargo or in his words, “rum-maiden cargo!” Slowly, it dawned on Captain that this would be the first time Gladiator docked at Valley Cove without her engine. A 1950’s-era German diesel, it had died a loud, billowing black death the previous spring. On the night of the moonlight cruise—newly rid of her noisy iron— Gladiator sailed gingerly into the unlit cove. Captain pondered the last swirls of low tide that would be emptying from the pier. The cove’s mouth faced the swells from Portugal. When the tide made the water shallow by twelve feet, the swells could give a good ride. He also thought about the curiously unique wind one could pick up in Valley Cove. From the southwest, where it rose over the high hump of the island, the wind plunged almost vertically toward the sea, struck the water and vaulted back upwards. When it did this, it drove everything in its path due west in a gust, directly onto the pier. The pier was constructed of the unclaimed footings of New York, the ones to large to ship. The granite slabs were massive, unmoved since quarry days. Captain mused and held helm straight for the heavy square forms, and watched as things unfolded. Gladiator picked up the cove wind and held onto the gust with her strong main. The shallow water strengthened the tide’s current and kept her keel proudly upright against the blast. Her speed went from slight drift to about four knots, and she headed due west fifteen feet from the slabs. The power in her main dug her bow down into the water, providing no steerage. Armed with forward momentum, Gladiator bore straight and low, directly for the pier. She struck with the force of an Amazon Don Quixote. Fearlessly, she drove her 85-year-old bowsprit into the granite blocks hard enough to stick the sprit. From four knots to complete stop, she held still, unmoving. Like a cat with her prey, she froze, content with her charge. The Goslings were of no use now, “Damn rum-soaked birds,” thought Captain. They quackled in the heads of the crew. All stood stunned, stiff as Gladiator with her prize. What to do? The tide had not finished lowering. At once, all hands went forward

All heaved, then yelled ”Ho” for various reasons, but Gladiator remained unmoved by the crew’s attentions. She stayed stuck in the center of the stone pier like a dart in a bull’s eye. Thwarted, the crew backed off, out of ideas. After all were quiet and had fully admired her agile feat, Gladiator luffed her upper main, releasing the gust. All stayed hushed. She used her memorial ballast to tip the sprit a few inches higher, letting the tide swing her slightly to the left. She used her night sight to feel the wide vertical space between the granite slabs. Her full weight resting astern, the current caught her draft. Her bowsprit released. As she had timed, a small Portuguese swell raised her up, flowed under the granite, and pulled her straight out. Without a groan, she backed off the pier. Unaided, she had retreated from her charge. She had kept her sprit and her spirit intact. The crew stood, awestruck. Captain breathed a silent sigh and played off his inaction as a matter of course. (But he had known from many such experiences that Gladiator usually knew what to do…) We continued making way across Hurricane Sound toward Valley Cove. I became conscious of my father and brother lost in similar reveries. Scenes played of “coasting” over Dead Man’s Ledge, or “finding” Nun #2 a bit more to port than planned. My brother caught my gaze. Together, we secretly remembered our first solo voyage as teenagers. Our encounter with a sudden mysterious “swell” was still unknown to our father, now standing between us. We had done nothing—only watched as the “uncharted” ledge rolled beneath Gladiator’s keel. The urchins on the bald rock were plainly visible to our beer-soaked eyes. But Gladiator had instinctively gone up and over the ledge, seeming to enjoy the ride. Giddy actually, not so much as a dollop of her bottom paint had been added to the rock’s décor. “So,” I said, finally breaking the silence, “Think I can borrow the boat next summer?” Silence. I continued, “That is unless you boys are already finished.” They turned to ask. I answered, “You know, checking the chart for accuracy.”

This is my tribute to my dear departed friend, Martin McDonough. I don’t recall when exactly I first met Martin. I probably saw him hanging around the docks at the Center for Wooden Boats, doing stuff that I did when I first volunteered there: pumping bilges, painting, and sanding, varnishing CWB boats. He’d stop by on occasion and we’d talk about our favorite subject—wooden sailboats, and in particular, my Friendship sloop, Amie. I had gotten her out of the yard about a year or two before with a new deck and lots of other needed work, and I enjoyed talking about it. Martin had spent some time on the east coast and had sailed quite a few races around Boston and New England, so we certainly had a common bond in the Friendship Sloop. Of course, he wanted to go out on Amie, and, of course, I wanted to go sailing on Amie too. I found Martin to be an excellent sailor. He had spent much time sailing Marconi rigs, but he was interested and eager to learn more about sailing a gaffer. Since I wasn’t (and still am not) an expert at sailing them, it was fun to learn more together. Martin was one of the first sailors on Amie that knew not to pinch the boat going to weather. I never had to ask him to let the main out and sail more of a reach than close hauled. He understood the fine art of the controlled jibe, something not everybody grasps.

Please stop by, call or email us at newmanmarine@prexar.com We had many good sails together. Then he asked if he could help me work on the Amie! No major work, but the day-to-day care and feeding of your basic 25-year-old wooden sailboat. I’d come down on the weekend to do a project, only to find it done by Martin—and done well. I’d offer to pay him for his services, but all he ever wanted to do was to go sailing. He brought his wife, Ann, down, and the three of us would often go out, just for a pleasant day sail. The 3 of us would also sail the occasional race on Lake Union. We had many grand times finishing last, just enjoying our time out on the water. As time went on, Martin’s skills and helpfulness became well known at the Center for Wooden Boats. He would teach sailing lessons, help families build their own boats, take school children and youth at risk out for sailing excursions. There wasn’t a thing he was asked to do that he wouldn’t do. All this time he still helped maintain Amie. On rare occasion he asked to take Amie out when I wasn’t available. (Of course I’d let him take Amie out—Martin was a better sailor than I any day of the week). He was thrilled when he’d take her out, and gushed with praise for her when he’d come back. About three years ago I was sidelined for six months with back trouble. Not only did I get constant cheering from Martin and Ann, but I’d get blow-by-blow progress on keeping Amie up. A year later, when I had Amie hauled, Martin was there to help take the boat to the yard, and helped sand and paint. When we found some bad caulking on a garboard seam, Martin said “I’ve never caulked before, but I’m willing to try”. He stayed till about 8:00 on that Saturday night to put in about three feet of caulking. Amie has not leaked since. We were all saddened when we found that Martin and Ann were leaving town for a new job in the San Francisco bay area. Nonetheless, we kept in close touch, emailing and visiting whenever they were up in Seattle or we were in the Bay area. We had a wonderful time with them earlier this summer when Martin showed us the yacht club where he taught sailing. This past week we found that Martin had passed away suddenly. He apparently had a seizure and drowned after a wonderful evening sail with Ann and friends. He would have been 42 in October. The Sequoia Yacht Club in Redwood City, CA held a memorial service for Martin. We held one at the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle. Although I could not be in both places at once, I’m sure there wasn’t a dry eye at either service. Such is the legacy of a true friend and sailor who did so much for so many.

Boat Rules By Tom Berry We live with rules our whole life. At first we don’t know they’re rules, just demands or orders from our parents. But they’re the genesis of our rule-dominated life. They usually begin while we’re still in diapers; that’s called “training.” By the time we get to school we know what rules are: No speaking in the classroom unless you’re called on to speak. In my day, that was a direct order; you either obeyed or were sent to the vice- principal. There are times when we have to create our own rules, too; like when we own our very own Friendship Sloop. We soon learn that guests require guidance. Thus, we create rules so that life on our own boat allows us to remain content. After all, that’s what we want out of our water-borne experiences, contentedness. Here are my 5 simple rules. Rule #1. Wenonah departs when she and the Captain be ready, which normally be as announced/agreed. For the life of me, I can’t understand how some people can be so cavalier about leisure time, yet are always punctual about arriving at work. What’s so God-awful important about work that it monopolizes the punctuality credo, whilst leisure is often simply wasted by lollygagging? Being invited to join someone on their boat for the day is not the same as arriving a fashionable hour late for a party or dinner invitation. Fun is supposed to be fun, and if fun begins at 1000 hrs then be there at 1000 hrs!! Once someone arrived for a two-day sail 1½ hours after the time we’d agreed to set sail. There was no phone call during this time, so I bit my lip, seethed internally, squirmed about and otherwise muttered voodooistic unmentionables while waiting. The guest finally arrived with a happy, “oh, I was running late” excuse. Yes, I was tempted to leave without them. But they had all the food, and when foods involved, El Capitan has his priorities, after all. Rule #2. She returns when she returns, which normally be as announced/agreed. This rule could easily be named after a former friend, now a mere acquaintance. We departed on an overnight sail several years ago. It was a lovely sail across the

31 Chesapeake, up the Chester River to a quiet anchorage at Gray’s Inn Creek. All went well. The next morning a light breeze blew from the NW, allowing us to sail away from our anchorage. The wind tempted and I bit, so commenced putting up all five rags. Just as the 5th sail was belayed the wind all but died. This was 1000 hrs Sunday. We were moving at less than a knot, but still moving, yet my friend asked me to turn on the engine. I’d just finished busting my hump getting all the sails up, was calmly enjoying a rewarding beverage of my choice and didn’t understand what the rush was; after all, we’d be back by 1600-1700 no matter what. Oh, he got uppity. When pressed for attitudinal details, he said he had to be back because a local dance club was closing that night. OK, I said, what time does the club open, 9:00 PM? There’s plenty of time. No, no, the doors open much earlier and, blah, blah…. I saw no rush, professed that we’d be back in time and that was that. He went below to sulk because he didn’t get his way…on my boat! We continued to inch along, but the minute we hit Love Point the wind kicked up again and Wenonah flew. It turned into a memorable sail across the Bay and up the Magothy River, five sails kicking into overdrive to fetch us home. We were back by 1600. My friend immediately grabbed his already-packed gear and jumped off Wenonah to head for his car. I calmly and politely asked if he could help carry some of the trash and boat gear up to the house. He got the hint. Nor did I forget. Rule #3. No special stops to procure or discharge crew during the sail. Wenonah’s a gaffer. Translation: she can be stubborn when going to weather. Ergo, we try to sail off the wind as much as possible. When out for several days I try to heed the weather forecasts as best we can. That means I’ll let the wind push us as much as possible. That, in turn, would make it a bit difficult and, almost always, a nasty beat to fetch someone’s land wagon that’s been parked contrary to our convenient sailing weather. Nor do I commence a sail by blurting, “Hey, let’s go to Annapolis and hang on a mooring” when the weather forecast indicates it’ll be a lengthy beat to weather all the way. Nope, comfortable sailing is what it’s all about and you sign on for the duration of the sail with Wenonah or, if really need be, you get off wherever we are, not where you’d prefer us to be. Rule #4. Food and beverage provisioning are normally shared but sometimes aren’t, depending on the Captain’s spirits. Sharing, as used here, is a very flexible word. It’s about as flexible as a bird preening its back feathers. I have a friend who always brings delightfully fresh, healthy meals. I love her provisioning. It’s always devoured…in toto. But there must be some balance to all this health, so I manage to counterbalance her efforts with good libations: plenty of real (not Lite, Light or faux) beer, tons of water and a bottle of my favorite rum. I almost always over-provision my part of refreshments, so we do eat and drink well. Sometimes, “depending on the Captain’s spirits,” I will treat someone like this to a nice dinner if we’re anchored near a restaurant. But pity the fool who shows up with a couple of wee tea sandwiches for the Captain’s hearty appetite that day. Rule #5. Whilst underway all cell phones/pagers shall remain off. I have to give the other half credit for this rule for I fumed, fussed and steamed far too long. One day she finally said, “You have 4 boat rules, just make another one. It’s Continued p. 32

32 your boat.” Bingo! I had a new, and so far, final rule, unless man’s technological bent throws another irritation my way, forcing the formulation of yet another rule. This is the rule I happily force on guests. I am empowered and love it. Despite what you’ve just read, I’m really rather flexible with four of my Boat Rules; I really am. But the 5th, the last rule, I adamantly enforce. Go ahead, leave your phone on in a meeting, a concert, a restaurant, a restroom, a rest home, but kindly keep it off while on my boat. The cell phone has significantly altered our lives and, methinks, not necessarily for the better. We used to, in fact a few of us still do, retire our decrepit souls to the solitude of our Friendships in search of a respite from what ails us ashore. There is nothing quite like sharing this experience with a good friend or two, nibbling, sipping, yakking and laughing the day away, with some lengthy pauses to listen to a sail flutter, a gooseneck squeak, a sheet flop, an osprey squawk and the water lap against the hull of your favorite toy. There is absolutely no need for modern conveyances in this perfect environment. Yet too many of us cast off the dock lines hell-bent on remaining tethered to shore with newfangled gadgets that irreverently intrude on what should be purely simple bliss. There they are. Five straightforward Boat Rules. I think these rules are quite justifiable, too, since they are fewer and simpler than what the IRS promulgates, and we manage to live with that excess, don’t we?

33 Two Blades Are Better Than One By Ted Walsh The following heavily edited excerpts from our log explain how we finally solved the recurring problems with our folding propeller. Tuesday 29 July Eben, a good friend and veteran of several cruises, had agreed to help me with the delivery of the Black Star from Rockland to Deer Island, in the Bay of Fundy. We arrived in Rockland to find the boat still on the mooring where I left it, but anchored beyond the mooring field was a large grey warship. We were told it was the USS Ticonderoga. It became clear that the Navy had commandeered the public docks as a clearing point for crew going ashore and to clear any guests that might be going aboard. We got somewhat hesitant permission from a flack-jacketed petty officer to dock just long enough to take on ice, water, and provisions. We rowed out, brought the boat in, loaded gear aboard, cast off, and headed for the fuel dock. “Hey what’s that thump-thump noise”? Eben asked. “Must be something wrapped around the prop again,” I replied. 13:30. Pulling away from the fuel dock the prop still sounded wonky. I was sure it was just some rockweed or something binding the folding prop. We had a wonderful south wind, so upon clearing the channel, we set the main. As we fell off we found we were headed right for the anchored warship. “Notice to Mariners regarding recreational vessels in the proximity to Navy vessels” flashed through my head. Phrases like “…private vessels will be impounded…” and “…punishable by fine or imprisonment…” came uncomfortably to mind and I rushed aft to help Eben bring her onto a new heading away from the looming grey giant. While going about, a life-line managed to grab my boat shoe, remove it from my foot, and fling it overboard a remarkable distance in the direction of the anchored ship. We both looked at the now sinking shoe. Eben asked if we should come about and see if we could find it. I decided that if our choices were between littering, or possibly violating the security zone of an anchored warship, we would opt for the former. The whole episode left me with a sort of “bad omen” feeling. 14:20. Making eight knots on a course to take us “outside” Vinalhaven to Isle Au Haut. The thrill of tearing along under staysail, jib, and one reef in the main, was chasing away any lingering anxieties. At this rate we would make Laundry Cove in time for the sunset gun…. 18:30. No wind. At about 14:30 the wind had begun to ease, and then, over the next hour or so it died altogether. Now under all plain sail, we drifted in slow lazy circles. We thought by now the prop would be washed clean, but about the best we could get out of her was a little way on the boat and a lot of vibration. After nearly an hour of trying to coax wind into the sails or get the prop to engage, Eben volunteered to go over the side with the mask before it got too dark, and see if he could locate the problem. “Uh, Ted, how many blades is the prop supposed to have”? Eben said. Very bad feeling about this. Continued p. 34

We had struck nothing; moreover, everything had been working fine on the trip into the dock to pick up supplies. It was only upon leaving that something appeared to have gone wrong. We agreed that the mystery would have to wait. Right now we needed to make a safe anchorage. 23:50. After a long slow approach in the dark, we finally entered the southern entrance of the thoroughfare between Isle Au Haut and Kimble’s Islands on the midnight high tide. Knowing that this area does not have good holding ground, we continued on through the thoroughfare. With Eben on the bow, using the big spotlight to silently point out lobster pots and channel buoys, we made our way slowly through the very crowded town anchorage and on through the narrows (only really navigable at high tide). Wednesday 30 July 01:10. At long last we made Laundry Cove and good holding ground; were I not in the bosun’s chair at the masthead trying to un-jam the staysail halyard, I suppose I would be relieved. The one silver lining was that Saxon, the ship’s wolf/dog was ashore with Chris, Eben’s wife. I was grateful that Saxon was not here for this cruise. 08:30. Awoke. Staggered around the cabin. Tried to think clearly…failed. Before the grogginess wore off, I went over the side with the mask. Yup, one blade, not two. 10:00.A beautiful sail into Stonington on a perfect summer day; still I could not keep from wishing that I could skip to the end of the story and see how it comes out. 12:00. Anchored off the yard and made arrangements to get the boat taken out of the water after lunch. We were just about to bite into hastily made sandwiches when the yard-launch arrived and the attendant said that the plan had changed; they wanted to lift us out now. Somehow we managed to back her into the granite slip and run slings under her without bumping anything. A weird experience to be in the water one moment and lifted clear the next. Eben and I managed to scramble off with our sandwiches as the boat was lifted clear of the water.

35 At this point there was much chin-scratching and several people passing by pointed out that we were missing a propeller blade; very helpful. As we stood next to the dripping, suspended hull, providing entertainment for the yard crew at Billings, a lady approached and started asking very knowledgeable questions about the boat; it turned out her family had owned Rights of Man before Wayne and Kirsten Cronin. This rather cheerful conversation was just getting warmed up when a large man, whom it later turned out ran a competing yard, appeared and started to lecture us on how the worst thing you could do with a wooden boat was to have hull zincs…clearly the employees of Billings had heard this tirade before, for they scattered like startled birds, diving into work sheds, boat sheds, and waiting pick-up trucks. The new visitor droned on about how everybody had it wrong. Meanwhile, our boat was slowly driving away in the travel lift. This was all getting very strange. After several attempts to interrupt the zinc lecture, we managed to communicate that we needed to follow our boat. As we jogged after our vessel, now disappearing at a stately pace behind a boatshed, Eben said, “I will say one thing for cruising with you; we meet the most interesting people.” We caught up with the boat and began to amble behind it. Several more nice people helpfully pointed out the missing propeller blade. At this point a mechanic appeared and after checking to make sure the Zinc Lecturer had not followed us, suggested that the boat might have to be put on stands for the night until parts could arrive. Things were looking bleak, and possibly expensive. While we tried to digest this, another mechanic arrived with a used fixed-blade propeller in hand. After a very short conversation we had the old prop off, the new one on, and the boat reversed course and started her stately procession back to the sea. I ran into the office to pay the bill and then ran back to the boat. Minutes later, we were afloat with a new-used propeller—the engine operating perfectly and without vibration for the first time since we have owned the boat. The boat had been out of the water was less than an hour. As we shaped a course to take us to Mt. Desert, I thought that surely the worst was over. As it turned out, we had yet to face an un-forecasted storm in the Grand Manan Channel and a dungeon of fog in the Bay of Fundy, but we had no more problems with the propeller. There must have been a dozen times in the last twenty four hours that I had reflected on how relieved I was to have not brought Saxon on this one trip—but I would have loved to have seen her face as we took the boat for a walk at Billings Diesel. Bancroft Award This year the Bancroft Award went to Bill and Caroline Zuber. It is made in memory of Winthrop Bancroft, owner of Elicia III and an early and enthusiastic member of our Society. The award might also recognize an unusual voyage, the building of a sloop, a model, a poem, a painting – some contribution to the Friendship tradition. Morang Award Stephen Major was presented this year’s Morang Award for his contribution “The Edelweiss” that was published in the 2005 yearbook. This award is given in memory of Bruce Morang, helmsman, yearbook editor and race committee chairman. Ashore, he was editor of the Reading, Mass. newspaper and a discriminating writer.
