3 Commodores’ Message Plotting the Next Course I saw my first Friendship sloop in 1965. It was a lucky chance meeting that my parents had with Doug and Harold Lash late one Friday afternoon at Lash Brothers Boatyard in Friendship, Maine. They had just finished building #52 Rights of Man earlier that summer, and there she was tied up at the Lash Brothers old wharf. It was that very same day I took my first sail aboard a Friendship sloop, when Doug and Harold invited us to sail with them that evening aboard another of their beautiful creations, #46 Dirigo. It was an act of kindness and generosity that I will never forget, and the spirit of friendship for which that town was named took hold of our family in a very special way that lasts to this very day. The Friendship Sloop Society is also very special to me and my extended family. Section A in Article II of the Constitution of the Friendship Sloop Society states, “The purpose of this Society shall be to encourage the building and sailing of Friendship Sloops, to provide a medium for owners and friends to meet and enjoy each other around a common interest, and to promote the history and traditions of the Friendship Sloop”. We, as a family, have participated in this society for many years, on and off, but have always believed that this fundamental statement is at the core of our mission. It is for this reason that I wish to extend my gratitude and compliments to Jim & Meg Sharp, founders of the Sail, Power & Steam Museum at 75 Mechanic Street in Rockland, Maine. “Captain Jim” was quick to extend the same hand of friendship to me and the Friendship Sloop Society, just as the Lash Brothers had in 1965. The people of the Sail, Power & Steam Museum and the Friendship Sloop Society share a common interest in the Friendship sloop, the history and significance of these iconic vessels, and the preservation and promotion of our ships and our society. The Sail, Power & Steam Museum is staffed by dedicated volunteers who, under the direction of Friendship shipwright James Loney, are undertaking a most exciting initiative; the completion and launching of #120 Persistence in 2014 and now the restoration of #19 Blackjack! These sloop restorations pay tribute to that core mission of our society as well as to the former owners of those two sloops, FSS founding members Charlton Simmons and Bill Pendleton. Great stuff! As we celebrate this our 135th year of the Friendship sloop, the future the Friendship Sloop Society will be enhanced by the continued supportive partnerships of organizations like the Sail, Power & Steam Museum and the Friendship Museum. Additionally we must count on our friends and members to contribute ideas and vision for us to sustain into the future. So please, share your suggestions with me for our society and the promotion of these sloops!! Write us at commodore@ fss.org. Onward, Noel & Laurie March and Family (photo courtesy Noel March)
4 Yearbook Dedication ~Ted Walsh & Judy Heininger The Friendship Sloop Society is blessed with members and friends who get things done. The bond that ties us together is our interest in sailing a traditional boat, the Friendship Sloop, but sailing is just one aspect of our heritage that makes us a coherent group. We not only sail, but we also race; we tell people about our boats; we take people out on our boats during the annual Homecoming Regatta, and we write books about our boats and adventures. The first sloop book, It’s a Friendship, was a compilation of stories and pictures documenting some of the history of the Friendship sloop and was published back in 1965. This was followed by Enduring Friendships that was made available 5 years later when our original book had long sold out and when almost 50 additional sloops had been registered with the Society. A third book, Friendship Sloops, was then published by Roger Duncan in 1985. Roger, a past commodore and editor of this publication, was the owner of the sloop Eastward, and as a renowned maritime historian could not have been better qualified to document more of the history surrounding our favorite sloops. Fast forward some 30 years – – – a Friendship Sloop Society Book Committee was formed when it was well beyond the time to update our history once again. By then, a record number of 283 sloops had joined the fleet since the Friendship Sloop Society was founded in 1961. The challenge facing the book committee was multifold, requiring time, effort and organizational skills to compile the information; and then to write, edit, and publish a book. After a number of years of throwing around ideas on how to get this project accomplished, one of our members stepped up to the plate and hit the proverbial home run. Ted Walsh has been a quiet but very supportive member of the Society for fifteen years. Judy Heininger and Ted often contribute stories for our yearbooks, always making the annual journey to the Homecoming in Rockland aboard their sloop, Black Star (sail # 247) and although they are not racers, they partake in all the Society activities. So, when we needed an organizer to get us off first base, Ted volunteered and Judy seconded his nomination. Without further discussion the book committee unanimously endorsed our two volunteers. At the time Ted and Judy did not realize how difficult a job it would actually be. We did not have a huge publication budget and most of the responsibility fell on Ted’s shoulders, but he was determined to complete what he started. Consequently, the fourth book in the series on Friendship Sloops, Lasting Friendships: A Century of Friendship Sloops, was published in 2014 under Ted’s watchful eye as an editor. Our book is now available on-line and in bookstores and Ted’s job should be complete. But wait, he is now taking the lead in marketing the book for the benefit of the Friendship Sloop Society. We want to thank Ted and Judy and believe that we can offer no better tribute to them than to recognize all their time and effort by dedicating the 2015 yearbook to TED WALSH and JUDY HEININGER, our esteemed volunteers who made Lasting Friendships: A Century of Friendship Sloops a reality. Well Done, Ted and Judy!!! Ted and Judy on Black Star

9 Friendship Memorial Scholarship Fund Named in memory of Commodore Bill Pendleton and his wife Beatrice, the fund was established in 1967 when Friendship sloops were racing in the town Friendship. In 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 education.” It has provided financial assistance over the years to numerous students, several of whom have received multiple year scholarships. In 2014 scholarships totaling $3,000 were distributed to one high school graduate ($1000) and four continuing education students ($500 each) all of whom attend or are planning to attend Maine colleges and universities. The young people of the town of Friendship need your support. Tax deductible donations in any amount should be sent to the Friendship Memorial Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 129, Friendship ME 04547-0129.

11 Enrique Summer of 2013 By Samuel Whitney I thought it was going to be a normal sail, until I got called ‘Enrique the Cabin Boy’. The name came up randomly as me, my Dad, and my Grandpa were sitting in the cockpit of the boat. We were sailing on my first trip from Southwest Harbor, Maine to join the other Friendships for the Friendship Sloop Regatta in Rockland. As Cabin Boy I would cook and bring stuff to the captain as he sailed. Or anything else he wanted, especially orange juice. We did a lot of hiking when we were at anchor or at a mooring at a harbor. It was something to do when we were just sitting around, it is also a good way to start the day. We did most of the hiking in the morning and one of the hikes took place on Isle au Haut. We went on a trail, and when we finished I was looking for blueberries along the street as we were walking back to the boat. Sailing was great and the sites were amazing too, when we were on the final stretch to Rockland we were going about 7 knots. On this boat it was spectacular, because it usually doesn’t go that fast. Raising the sails was hard because they were so heavy, I would usually have to get help from my Dad. The sites of sailing were of seals, dolphins, and huge barges with tug boats tugging it to make it move. If I was bored I would use the row boat to explore the things around me. I would also use it to go to shore when we had to get more supplies and when we just had to go to shore. I would also sit on the bow sprit and ride the waves. The three races, when we finally got to Rockland, were very fun, but like I said, this boat does not go very fast so it’s more of a joy ride. Lastly, I thought it was a great trip. I learned a lot about sailing. I would love to go next year. Flying Jib…and some sloops use outboards

Scores of people gathered at high tide Thursday afternoon at the city boat launching ramp adjacent to the Sail, Power & Steam Museum in Rockland for the christening and launching of the Persistence. Capt. Jim Sharp, owner of the museum, gave the thumbs up and led a chorus of “hip, hip, hooray” when the sloop gently was led into the waters of Rockland Harbor. His wife Meg broke the bottle of champagne over the bow to the cheers of the crowd. Fellow Capt. Ken Barnes played the bagpipes. The late Carlton Simmons, of Friendship, started construction of the sloop in 1966 but abandoned the project due to his wife’s health, the museum stated in a flier given out Thursday. John Lichtman, who was visiting Friendship from Oregon more than 30 years ago, saw the partially planked boat in a field and purchased it. Lichtman settled in the midcoast area but never had time to work on the boat due to family and work commitments, according to the museum, so the vessel sat idle for 30 years. Then Capt. Sharp approached Lichtman in September 2011 and the owner agreed to

Jim Sharp gives a thumbs up after the Persistence glides into the water in Rockland Harbor on Thursday afternoon. donate the under-construction vessel to the museum. Sharp said Thursday that for the past three years, a handful of volunteers have worked each Tuesday and Thursday to complete the sloop. The captain said the project was given a boost when a similar size sloop, Eagle, was abandoned at Spruce Head Marine boatyard and the company agreed to donate it to the museum. The hull of the boat was beyond repair but it had many parts that could be used for the Persistence, including an engine, iron keel, steering gear, a mast and sails. The Persistence is constructed of cedar strips covering steam-bent oak frames. The hull has been sheathed in fiberglass to reduce the amount of maintenance needed on it. Sharp said the sloop will be used to take museum visitors out in the harbor to see how lobster traps were hauled in the days before power boats. He said Friendship sloops were used by lobstermen in the early 1900s.
14 2015 SEASONAL & TRANSIENT MOORINGS & SLIPS AVAILABLE Old Baldy Her First 50 Years, 1965 – 2015 Article and photos by Kathe Newman Walton From gray sea fog, from ice drift From peril and from pain, The home-bound fisher greets thy lights, O hundred-harbored Maine! — Whittier Old Baldy was created and built by James S. Rockefeller, Jr. of Bald Mountain Boat Works in Camden, Maine, in 1965. Jim had sailed the South Pacific Islands the previous decade in a Maine-built Friendship sloop that had been re-rigged as a ketch and named Mandalay, and upon later settling in Camden he started Bald Mountain Boat Works to build Friendships (3), other traditional Maine boats and gunning dories. He also finished a Newman fiberglass Friendship (Euphoria, ex. Diana) and rebuilt Sazarac, among all his other projects. Ironically, today Jim runs around Penobscot Bay aboard his Newman 32, and boat builder and broker Jarvis Newman continues to enjoy Old Baldy. Excerpt from the 1966 FSS Yearbook: James S. Rockefeller of Camden provided one of the most spectacular launchings of the year when he had Old Baldy launched last August in Rockport Harbor with his mother doing the honors. Mr. Rockefeller’s boat shop is on the top of Bald Mountain, Camden, 8 miles from sea. It was as if someone had turned the clock back 60 years to see two yoke of oxen hauling Old Baldy overland to the Her maiden launching, August 1965 Continued p. 15

People came from miles around to line the roads and watch this unusual procession. Cameras were whirring and clicking and hands waved from every doorway and window along the route. The four handsome oxen pulling the loveliest of ships—a Friendship sloop, truly made a magnificent sight!

We started with the lead-off information that Blackjack might be sold to a Down Maine company for a rebuild. This information was offered up in the April, 2014 FSS executive meeting by the registrar, John Wojcik. Simply a “potential.” We learned that Captain Steve Pagels of Downeast Windjammer Cruises was going to purchase Blackjack. That led to my sending an email in April to the owner, Kelly Magee and his wife Diane, congratulating them on the potential sale. This, in turn, led to their return email in June that the deal had “gone south” due to the boat hauler‘s feeling that the boat would not survive a road trip. Captain Pagels had little choice but to walk away. In June, Kelly asked for help with finding a new owner, or developing a plan to help save the boat. He requested that the Society spread the word. In July, I contacted several potential buyers on the south shore of Boston, but to no avail. They considered the boat too far gone for them to rebuild. In August, after consultation with the FSS commodore, it seemed prudent to have a number of us visit Bristol, RI to conduct a survey of Blackjack. Dick Salter, Bill Whitney and I went down to do a survey. That survey on September 20th resulted in pictures and survey notes being forwarded to the Sail, Power and Steam Museum- a potential new owner contacted by Noel March. Noel worked at length with Jim Sharp of the museum, and Kelly and Diane, to work through the details for the donation of Blackjack to the museum. As plans moved along, it became apparent that there was serious work to be done to make Blackjack road worthy. Her house and decks were literally collapsing into the hull. If that happened, the hull itself might spread apart. Thanksgiving was coming along and the boat needed to be in Maine by December 1st, as Jim Sharp was to head south in early December.

BILL CAMPBELL (207) 633-2284 • (800) 298-2284 Boothbay Harbor 04538 Pier 8 http://www.balmydayscruises.com E-mail: info@balmydayscruises.com On November 30th, a working party of eight descended on Blackjack. Dick Salter, Bill Whitney, John Wojcik, Dennis Whitney, Laurie Raymond and Rusty Strange and I joined Kelly Magee for a work party. The purpose was to make her “road ready” to survive the trip to Rockland, Maine by truck. Using donated lumber, labor and knowledge, we made Blackjack solid enough to survive the trip. Who knew that using screw jacks inside the boat would work so nicely? I knew; we used that technique on Compromise. Who knew the power of drywall screws to hold things together? Rusty knew; he had done that before. The house and deck were lifted about 8 inches and supported to the keel using barn raising techniques: post and beam – the ultimate framing technique. The rigging was dismantled under the guidance of Dick, Bill and Dennis. Ballast was removed by Laurie and John, to be transported in pickup trucks. We left that afternoon with the boat ready for a trailer to back under her, the spars ready to load on the trailer arms, and a silent prayer that Blackjack would make the trip in one piece. On December 1st, she was picked up by Continental Marine of Quincy, Mass. and taken to their yard in Quincy. I was lucky enough to spot her in the Continental Yard while going to work the next morning. On the 2nd of December, she made the trip to the Sail, Power and Steam Museum in Rockland. She was backed into the boat shed, with about 1” of vertical clearance, and the work was turned over to the rebuilders. It was a thrill to see her in the shed beginning to undergo the rebuild during our Executive Committee meeting in February, 2015. There she was, blocked up, bad timber removed, new timber being added. The details of the rebuild will be determined by the people at the museum. Let me tell you about those trail boards and the eagle beak figurehead! They were removed as one piece and were as light as a feather. This is an ongoing and exciting story, a chance to save one of our original Friendship sloops and see her sail again. Watch for more details as the work progresses.

Noel March, the newly elected commodore of the Friendship Sloop Society, said the Blackjack may be one of the two oldest Friendship sloops in the world. Capt. Jim Sharp, who along with his wife Meg Sharp, operate the museum on Rockland’s South End waterfront said the Blackjack will require a lot of work to restore it to its original condition. “Her keel is bent, her decks are rotting and her rigging is in tatters. But we will restore her for the State of Maine,” Sharp said. March said the Blackjack is special because it was one of the 500 Friendship sloops built by its original designer, Wilbur Morse, at his boatyard in Friendship. The 500 sloops were built between 1890 and 1910. The Blackjack was built in 1900. “He was the Henry Ford of boats,” said Bill Zuber who has owned a 112-year-old Friendship sloop for the past 50 years. The Friendship sloops were meant to be extremely seaworthy because they were often used by island residents for lobstering, catching cod, visiting other families on other islands, or to transport cows. March said they also were designed to be handled by one person. They were the primary boats used for lobstering until boats were equipped with engines which became widespread after 1910.

Jim Sharp stand next to the Friendship sloop Blackjack at the Sail, Power and Steam Museum in Rockland. According to the society’s website, the Friendship sloop originally was developed as a working boat and fishing platform, but has survived as a type of vessel and become recognized as an American sailing classic. The original sloops varied in length from 21 feet to 50 feet, but the average length is between 30 and 40 feet. They all have an elliptical stern and most have a clipper bow. The Blackjack, which has a 33-foot long deck, has not been in the water since before 2006 and has been stored in Bristol, Rhode Island, since it was bought in 2010 by Kelly and Diane Magee. But after determining that restoring the sloop was beyond their resources and expertise, the Magees put out a call to members of the Friendship Sloop Society to see if anyone was interested in acquiring the Blackjack. Continued p. 24
24 March was very interested in saving the vessel. He had learned to sail aboard the Friendship sloop Dirigo off the town of Friendship when he was a youngster. Now as the commodore of the society he also had met Sharp and “we quickly found a common interest and shared vision.” That shared vision was to preserve Friendship sloops such as the one being offered by the Magees. March contacted them and the Magees agreed to donate the vessel to the Sail, Power and Steam Museum, a nonprofit organization created by the Sharps in 2009. Capt. Sharp said he expects the restoration will take three years to complete. The timetable will depend on the number of volunteers who step forward to work on the Blackjack, as well as the amount of grants and donations received. March, who also is the U.S. Marshal for Maine, said the donation and restoration project are occurring as the museum and society are nearing an agreement to have the museum become the home for the Friendship Sloop Society. The society’s records and memorabilia already are being stored at 75 Mechanic St. in Rockland. The nonprofit society was founded in 1961 to both preserve existing sloops and encourage the construction and sailing of sloops. The society now has nearly 300 members. “This is a happy alliance between two organizations that have a common mission and shared vision to preserve the sailing heritage of Maine,” March said.

25 Continued p. 26 With spring upon us it’s hard to remember that October can be a bitter month. The weather is getting colder. You have to think about putting the boat up for the winter. Depression is setting in and the cost of heating the house is becoming a concern. Suddenly a ray of hope clears the horizon. You have a chance to get out on the water one more time and it’s on someone else’s boat! Hurray! Sign me up! Once again Captain Harold Burnham offered Friendship Sloop Society members and their family and friends an end of season cruise on the pinky schooner Ardelle to help soothe our end-of-season blues. It did. We had a ball. There is just something about going for a sail that provides major stress relief. On the evening of October 5th a group of 26 of us got underway from the Maritime Gloucester pier with Capt. Harold and first mate Mary Kay Taylor aboard Ardelle for a relaxing cruise of Gloucester Harbor. Of course we had to earn our keep by hoisting sail, coiling down lines, tacking and jibing ship, gathering-in and securing sail and a myriad of other choirs required to manage a schooner under sail. No one complained. Not a one! We also had e n t e r t a i n m e n t aboard with some truly wild animals d e m o n s t r a t i n g their impressive talents. Three monkeys were spotted amidships, replicating a very famous scene, with eyes, mouth and ears covered. See Story by Bill Whitney / Photos courtesy of Lisa Whitney Ardelle Cruise 2014

What an alarming thought.) Capt. Harold treated us to an amazing display of trust between man and animal with his world famous seagull act. We were not sure whether the seagull was well trained or just hungry. Then again I can’t recall ever seeing a seagull that wasn’t hungry. (Except for the time we tried to feed them some Fruit Loop cereal. Did you know that seagulls can’t spit? If they won’t eat them neither will I.) Other than a slight chill to the air it was a very comfortable, relaxing and entertaining evening afloat. Thank you Capt. Harold. Your kind invitation for an end-of-season cruise really helped those of us who were rapidly approaching the winter doldrums back on course.

George, Prop. Adagio (ex-Desiree) sail #225 . . . Renamed and Restored Notes from Jim Thoen’s blog As some may have noticed, I have changed Desiree’s name to Adagio. We expect to have Adagio back in the water this August after 15 years on the hard. Adagio is Italian and is most often seen as a musical dynamic instructing the musician to play “slowly, at ease.” At 17,000 pounds, I am under no illusions that Adagio is a fast sailor, but the iconic image of Joe Richards’s Princess has always conveyed the feeling of pleasant ease, the “simply messing about in boats” of which Ratty was so fond. “Adagio” is also used in ballet and refers to “slow and refined movements as a single phrase, in a fluid manner – each step linking seamlessly to the next.” In fact, the Adagio is often the opening section of the Grand pas de deux where the ballerina performs slow movements with her partner. And so, it fits what I hope is to be. This image reminds me of years ago when I owned the catboat, Janou – my first gaff- rigged boat. An old gaffer told me then, “sail her slack. You can’t crank her in tight like you do those Marconi rigs.” Instinctively, I knew just what he meant. It had that feel of Adagio to me – . sailing her “slack” on a warm summer day with a lazy breeze on the quarter . . .
28 Now, I’ve sailed enough to know that very few days of our preciously short summers are the lazy, at ease days I describe. My experience is that you’re either becalmed or in a tempest that will blow your ears clear overboard. And any gaffer that gets caught with 550 square feet of mainsail flying when the wind pipes up is likely to be singing Santa Merda! (Allegro). But still, sometimes the name is not the reality, it is the ideal. And so it is with Adagio.

I wanted to test myself and my vessel and, happy to say, all went well! I left on my 64th birthday and sailed nonstop from Niceville, FL in the panhandle to Key West. I logged 500 miles in 5.5 days and then spent 5 days there hanging out with an old buddy having fun. I sailed back to Niceville, a little over 500 miles in 4.5 days, but motored in a lot of light winds. It was a good shakedown cruise. Over the past couple of years I have made several upgrades to old V.J. for single-handed sailing. Her hull is still as beautiful as ever, but I coated it with epoxy and Biaxle to make her bullet proof. She still carries a gaff rig but with newer lines, blocks, sails, and a furling system out on the Bowsprit. Some modern electronics, AIS, plotter, depth, speed, wind and auto pilot for better navigation. I also added stentions, lifelines, Bimini, dodger, and self steering gear for safety and comfort while single handing I think it is time to try another little cruise on the old gal. Heading south in a few days.
