1 Welcome THANK YOU for taking a free copy of the Friendship Sloop Society’s annual Yearbook and Guide. We hope you find the articles and photographs of interest and kindly ask you to support our generous advertisers who enable us to bring this special publication to you. This is the story of a family of boats and how they weathered more than a century of change and why they still have a passionate following today. Each year a regatta sponsored by the Society is held in July in Maine – check out the schedule of events along with other classic boat races, regattas and rendezvous throughout New England. We encourage you to join us at www.fss.org. The Friendship Sloop was developed around 1880 for fishing and lobstering in Muscongus Bay on the Maine coast and has survived as one of only a few regional types now recognized as an American sailing classic. It is certain some of these fishermen had seen a Gloucester fishing boat and, being impressed with their lines, incorporated some of those features into their own hull designs. The basic form was scaled up or down depending on length (averaging 21’- 38’) and followed a pre-set formula. All had an elliptical or counter stern; most of them a clipper bow; long bowsprit; and all were gaff rigged. The cutter-rig sail plan was both distinctive and functional for the tending of traps and lines while underway, one of this boat’s most special attributes. By the late 19th century, small boat shops dotted the coastline of Maine and each builder had some little ‘secret innovation’ that made his vessel the best. Many names are remembered as builders of these sloops: Carters, McLains, Collomores, Winchenbachs, Stanleys and others, but Wilbur Morse’s name comes up as “the father of the Friendship Sloop” because of the large number that he produced in his shop in Friendship and whereby the sloop gradually acquired its name. Sadly, the advent of motors and modern equipment around 1915 almost relegated this beautiful craft to extinction, but her fine lines, seaworthiness and her great record have now added “yachting” to her long list of able uses. In modern times, Bernard MacKenzie of Scituate, Massachusetts sailed his beautiful Voyager in a Boston Power Squadron race in 1960 and won the race against a much stronger competition of Bermudian rigs with large spinnakers and genoas. This inspired him to have a Homecoming Race in Friendship Harbor in 1961 and this year would be our 60th anniversary event! The Friendship Sloop Society is a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of Maine in 1961. The purpose of the Society is to encourage the building and sailing of Friendship Sloops and to provide a forum for owners and friends to meet and enjoy each other around a common interest. Sloops now registered with the society total 285 with the oldest wood original from 1899 (…and still sailing!) to the ‘newer’ fleet of fiberglass models developed by Jarvis Newman in the 1970’s.

2 Commodore’s Message Greetings Sailors! After evaluating every possibility of “how to hold” the Homecoming 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis, the Officers and Executive Board of the Friendship Sloop Society have regrettably determined that our event in Rockland Maine must be canceled for this July 16-20, 2020. It is out of great concern for the wellbeing of our members; the integrity of the society; and the safety of the public that we see no way to follow the federal, state and local guidelines to hold a safe event. Everyone’s safety and health is our greatest concern. I hope you are able to put your boat in the ocean over this summer and spend some time social distancing with family/friends while you enjoy a sail in your homeport. When you are sailing a Friendship Sloop you are connected to an enduring tradition. When you are “messing about” in a Friendship Sloop you are not alone. You are connected to a strong spirit of independence and joy. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to connect with me directly at: commodore@fss.org. We will join together again and have our 60th Homecoming when fair winds move us home.

5 We Dedicate this 2020 Friendship Sloop Society Yearbook to…By David W. Graham During this recent September of 2019, we lost two giants within the Friendship Sloop Society and so we dedicate our 2020 Yearbook to these two fine gentlemen of our society: Jarvis Newman and Charlie Burnham. First came the news of September 1, 2019 when we learned that Jarvis Newman slipped his mooring, following a lengthy illness. Jarvis cut his teeth as a youngster by lobstering with his father and grandfather. Following graduation from Wentworth Institute in Boston, Jarvis found himself employed with General Electric Company in Cincinnati, ground-testing jet aircraft engines. In 1961, Jarvis and Sue Bunker were married and a year later their daughter, our society’s very own Kathe Newman (Walton), was born. By 1964, the Newman family had returned to Southwest Harbor where Jarvis was hired by Bob Hinckley in the fiberglass department at Hinckley Yachts. After learning the trade, by the early 1970s Jarvis and his family had moved to Manset where he started building small boat hulls in fiberglass at the family boatyard. Demand for his hulls was so high that he decided to hire three employees at the yard and build hulls with deck and engine installed, shipping them to other boat finishers for completion. Using Old Baldy (FSS #57) as a plug, which had been built from Howard Chapelle’s Pemaquid design, in 1969 he launched the elegant fiberglass Salatia (FSS #90) that, 60 years later, still graces the waters of mid-coast Maine. In time, Jarvis had restored two Friendship Sloops: Venture (FSS #66) and Dictator (FSS #2) selling the first and retaining the second as the Newman family boat. The Dictator restoration was chronicled on TV and in Time-Life books. In total, Jarvis built 18 of the 25-foot Pemaquid hulls and 20 of the 31-foot Dictators. During the late 1970s Jarvis sold the boatyard and by 1980 had started Newman Marine Brokerage, which continues today under the leadership of Kathe Newman and her husband Dan Walton, who both sail Old Baldy (FSS #57). Jarvis cut a large figure in Southwest Harbor, becoming involved in various civic positions that promoted the SWH area. He recently was awarded the Maine Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award for promoting the state’s boat-building industry. *************** It was later in September, specifically on the 19th, when we learned of the loss of the second Friendship Sloop Society giant, Charlie Burnham, following a long illness. An Essex Massachusetts native of several generations, Charlie spent many a happy summer childhood on the Essex River building and sailing his small boats. A graduate of Northeastern University in Boston, Charlie went to work at Massachusetts General Hospital where he spent 40 years making significant contributions in the MGH Radiology Research Labs developing and perfecting Positron Emission Tomography (PET); a nuclear imaging technology that is used to help identify a variety of conditions, including many cancers, heart diseases and brain disorders.

6 Active in Essex town affairs for decades, Charlie and Maria (Piraino) married in the early 1960s where they and their family of three children, including our very own Harold Burnham, were to live and flourish. Steeped in the interest of history strengthened by no less than seven generations of Burnham shipbuilding, Charlie served as the President of the Essex Historical Society and was one of the founding fathers of the history-rich Essex Shipbuilding Museum. It was in 1971 that Charlie completed and subsequently launched his little 21-foot Friendship Sloop Maria (FSS #127) which was followed in 1973 by his larger Resolute (FSS #123) at 28-feet. During the ensuing years aboard the Resolute, Charlie, Maria and family sailed in numerous Friendship Sloop Society regattas at Friendship, Boothbay Harbor, Marblehead, Southwest Harbor and Rockland. Two Friendship Sloop Society giants bonded in time; each with a strong interest in building and sailing the Friendship Sloop; each with promoting the purpose and goals of what the Friendship Sloop Society is all about! Recently both Jarvis and Charlie were observed sitting together, smiling upon us whilst in deep discussion on the various virtues of the fiberglass and wood versions of the Friendship Sloop.

11 FRIENDSHIP MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND By Phil Pratt In the 1968 FSS yearbook, Bill Pendleton announced the creation of the Friendship Sloop Society Scholarship Fund (today’s Friendship Memorial Scholarship Fund) with the statement that the “…hope is that this Fund will grow and that subsequent years will see much more available for annual awards.” In 2019 the Trustees of the Fund proudly awarded $3,500 to each of five high school seniors pursuing a post-secondary education, and $1,800 to each of four high school graduates continuing their post-secondary educations totaling $24,700 and shattering the previous dollar record of $14,200 set in 2018! Recipients were: Graduates: Eli McCollett Southern Maine Community College Nathan Roberts University of Maine – Augusta Olivia Jenkins Unity College Olivia Sevon Unity College Lydia Simmons Mt. Allison College Continuing Education: Cassidy E. Benner Kennebec Valley Community College Alexia N. Hilt University of Maine Sierra Weeks University of Maine – Augusta Riley J. McCollett University of New England The Trustees of the Fund want to again extend a huge “Thank You” to Irv Lash. Irv donated two mounted half hulls of a 37’ Friendship sloop to the Fund: one to be raffled off at the Friendship Sloop Homecoming in Rockland, and one to be raffled off at the annual Friendship Day celebration. These two events generated a total of $520 to be used for scholarships and fund expenses. The Fund depends greatly on individual contributions. Gifts to the Fund are fully tax deductible and checks should be made out to the Maine Community Foundation, with “FREN-for distribution” written on the memo line (very important!). Mail to: Friendship Memorial Scholarship Fund, Maine Community Foundation, 235 Main St., Ellsworth, ME 04605. For more information about the Fund, gifts, and qualifications to receive a scholarship, please contact Phil Pratt at 207-832-4335, or P.O. Box 129, Friendship, ME 04547, or davisloop100@ gmail.com.

13 Swan’s Isle, FSS Registry No. 285 By Greg Ross It’s early fall of 2018 and a wooden boat friend shared a link on Facebook concerning a Craigslist posting of a sloop for sale in Kittery, Maine. I rounded up son number two and we did a quick trip to southern Maine to meet the seller, George Patten, and view the boat: a Muscongus Bay Sloop estimated at about 40 years old. A second round trip with my Jeep as the tow vehicle followed a few days later to collect the purchase. Mr. Patten, the retired principal of Patten Yacht Yard in Eliot, ME had discovered the boat on Swan’s Island several years earlier, roughly 2016, purchased her and moved her off the island (as then witnessed by current FSS Commodore Diane Fassak while waiting at the island ferry dock!). He replaced some punky wood in the top of the faux fish box, a few planks in the aft deck and built a complete new companionway hatch with rails. As found by George, and revealed by my sanding and fairing, the hull was painted dark green with a red and white trimmed deck. On May 1st of 2019 I started work in earnest. The surface profile of the planked hull was a bit wavy so I ran a belt sander over her, finishing with a long board and hand sanding. The old seam fill had dried out over the decades and was spalling in places – cracked and separated from the wood. First, I ran a cut-line down the center of each seam joint with a Dremel tool. Then, I sharpened up some small chisels and went at the plank seams cutting each bevel from end to end about 3/16” deep, followed by sanding with successive grits of 30, 60 and 120 sandpaper and lastly, a coat of primer. The open groove was then swiped with Bostik 790 FS (the British equivalent of 3M 5200). The boat had come to me minus her sails and the gaff spar. A new gaff was built using locally sourced clear spruce to form a rough 2×8 plank 16’ long that was then ripped, planed and epoxy-bonded. The jaws were sketched out and cut from maple, as was the toggle. Harold Burnham generously provided photos of the gaff from his son’s sloop Maria for reference. Ballast lead was found in Rhode Island and purchased reasonably from the Steamship Society.

14 In just over three and a half months we had stripped, sanded and refurbished spars; built the new gaff and jib boom; fitted chain plates where none had existed; built in battery boxes to provide energy for an electric “kicker” to hang over the side; fitted bronze chocks and cleats on deck; built all new standing and running rigging; fitted a chart plotter and had her ready to launch August 19th. We had taken delivery of her new suit of sails, from Harold Burnham’s loft in Essex, MA, which were carried to the 2019 Homecoming in Rockland by way of Cindy Cronin and family. The just-restored and newly named Swan’s Isle, FSS Registry #285. The late summer launch attempt was aborted as she immediately began filling with water and showing very little bilge pump output exiting from the transom thru-hull. With the companionway open the view of the centerboard trunk displayed what can only be described as a rapid gush of seawater from both sides of the trunk where it meets the top of the keel. Fortunately we had not released the lifting straps and immediately hauled her back out. Since my longer-term plan is to eliminate the trunk and centerboard and to convert to externally hung ballast, the immediate fix was to remove the centerboard and close off the slot. It was a fairly simple process to jack her up, block her onto the trailer to allow removal of the wear shoe in the way of the centerboard slot, and close it in with new hardwood properly bedded and securely fastened on. The lack of bilge pump output simply turned out to be a wad of what looked like hemp fiber plugging the elbow at the transom thru-hull fitting. The second launch attempt was much more civilized with the bilge pump (1,500 gph) cycling for seconds, on and off, and we got to enjoy a few nice sails getting to know the sloop now christened Swan’s Isle. Our already abbreviated 2019 sailing season was then disrupted with the passing of Hurricane Dorian for which we hauled out for safety and, after that interval, got to enjoy a few more nice sails on Swan’s Isle. Based on good advice from Harold Burnham regarding improved performance, comfort and safety of this Muscongus Bay Sloop, several modifications are planned including: removal of the centerboard trunk to open up the cabin space; enlarging the cabin to allow for fitting out with a settee/bunk and a marine head; rebuilding the cockpit to

15 reduce flooded volume; a watertight floor; sealed lazarettes for benches with seat backs tied into the existing coaming; fitting of external ballast and the addition of fore and aft deadwood to fair the added ballast slug. The current scheme is to build in quarter berths extending beneath the cockpit that hopefully incorporate a feature I’ve recently found on a British Cutter – basically recliners for day use set into the bunks. The modified keel profile will look similar to the Pemaquid sloop with deeper draft that offsets the loss of the centerboard. We’ve managed some research over the past year and a half attempting to collect history, origin and the builder’s name. Based on various dimensions I’ve lifted there’s no doubt she was built to Howard Chapelle’s drawing in his book American Small Sailing Craft with depth, draft, beam and waterline length matching those listed. A suggestion from John Fassak led me to contact Theodore (“Teddy”) Turner of Swan’s Island and this has resulted in corroborating some of the info from George Patten. The sloop (now aptly named Swan’s Isle) had languished in Galen Turner’s yard (Teddy’s brother, now deceased) on Oyster Pond Road. It turned out the sloop had been donated to the Swan’s Island Lobster and Marine Museum but they unfortunately didn’t have the resources to restore her so a buyer was sought, thank you George Patten. Hopefully this coming summer we’ll plan a visit to Swan’s Island to visit Teddy and perhaps reach out to another seasonal resident who Teddy suggests was involved in the original donation to the Museum. I’ve had quite a variety of help throughout the work including my partner Jamie on sanding, prime and paint, one or both of my sons during occasional visits at home and two other acquaintance/sailor friends. Thanks to: Jamie, Geoff, Iain and Blad (William) Hansen from Quebec and Alan Cole from Alberta. With any luck all this comes together and leads to her Coming Out in July 2020 to join the fleet in Rockland for the 60th Homecoming. Fingers crossed! Greg Ross and family getting to know Swan’s Isle.

16 Friendship By Diane Huston Fassak In 1974 I wrote a letter to the captain of the Victory Chimes because Shelley Cronin Desch and I had a big plan. We wanted to spend the summer of high school graduation, prior to heading off to UMass and UMaine, doing what we loved to do. We thought we would sail the Maine coast on a windjammer. I wrote to the captain inquiring if he would be taking applications for crew. The letter, which was returned to me and that I still have read, “We do not hire female crew members.” I don’t remember my actual reaction to this but I am sure my father said something to the effect of “Their loss.” Don Huston was not one for wasting time on foolish endeavors. I do remember clearly the first time I saw a Friendship sloop. It was on a rickety wooden cradle and it was delivered to our back yard in Nahant, MA when I was nine years old. At that time Nahant was the kind of town where people kept boats and maintained them in their back yards. I know it caused town-wide excitement because of a newspaper article written for the Daily Lynn Item and I know that I was clearly told to stay out from underfoot. I went to my brother’s room to watch out the window and wasn’t sure what in the world my father was thinking. Okay, so it was a big wooden boat BUT my nine-year-old mind was afraid someone was going to be in trouble for making a very big mistake. This boat, which would be named Eagle, was missing its bow. Through that big hole where the bow should have been you could see the poor old things inside. Even at age nine I knew this was the start of something big. My brothers Dennis and Dean were put to work that year and by the following summer Eagle had a bow and was deemed seaworthy. The boys and my Dad worked tirelessly to get her ready. Steaming planks, caulking seams and laying sails all over the front lawn. I was a little girl but that didn’t mean I couldn’t work too. I was the designated “gopher” and I was sent running to go for this and go for that. Good thing I had a basic knowledge of tools and I guess, sailing. That year, 1965, the boys and my mother Dot sailed to Friendship. I went by car with my grandmother and we had three great days of sailing and vacationing in Maine. I was always in my father’s back pocket. Because being with him and working on that boat was our great adventure. We would all spend the weekends working on or sailing

17 Eagle. We sailed so much that we didn’t make it to church, but our minister would join us on Sunday afternoons so I guessed it was okay with God. I have always loved sailing. My dad would take me along as crew. We’d go out off of Nahant and look around for any and all available boats to race. If you were within visible distance we were racing you and showing off our beautiful Friendship sloop. My father’s favorite game was to get within a good distance of another boat with all the sails set right and Eagle being the overtaking boat. He would then say, “Diane, get up on the wheel.” With a twinkle in his eye he would go below and stand out of sight in the gangway. As we overtook the other boat he’d say, “Give them a smile and a wave Diane, because they need to know they were just beaten by a girl!” One weekend, I think I was twelve by this time, Don said, “Come on, you and your mother need to come with me to Sturbridge.” He had met this man who also sailed a Friendship Sloop named Jack. For years, we thought his last name was Tannis! Don was excited because Jack was a good guy and he had a boat full of kids. My Dad thought there was even a girl my age. Going to Sturbridge that day was like winning the lottery. There certainly were a ton of kids AND not only one, but 3 girls for me to hang around with! One of them, Shelley, was exactly my age and we became friends almost immediately. Growing up through those years we would spend every school vacation going back and forth between Sturbridge and Nahant. The Cronins would sail from Salem Willows to Nahant just to get us all together. Shelley’s mom Mary once actually complained (I think the only time I heard her complain) that she wished I lived somewhere else. Nahant Harbor was not a place for a good night’s sleep; open and exposed at mooring, their Tannis would rock and roll all night long. Fast-forward a few years and a plan was hatched between the two of us. Historically speaking, Eagle was a boat for hearty sailors. There were not many creature comforts aboard and let me just say that even when we traveled as a family you knew the boat had been built for fishing by Wilbur Morse in 1915. One evening the home phone rang in the kitchen. Imagine for a minute the importance of this: this was a landline. My mother answered and Shelley asked to speak to “Uncle Donnie.” They talked for a few minutes and as he headed across the back yard to go down to the wharf to check the boat I had to run along beside him to keep up. “What did Shelley call about, Dad?” I asked. “Well, she called to ask why you weren’t allowed to sail up to Friendship for the races,” he answered. He looked at me, probably relit his cigar and said, “Do you want to come along as crew?” I was bursting with enthusiasm. Then he very clearly stated, “You can come but you need to sign on for the full two weeks and I don’t want to hear a word out of you.” There is no whining in sailing. What an adventure! We sailed, we navigated in fog and explored many harbors. I

18 hung out with the “Founding Fathers” of the Friendship Sloop Society that summer; I learned how to make coffee for Teddy Brown (Vida Mia) and h e said it was the best in Friendship (there were few stores or restaurants); I sang the “Ol’ Rugged Cross” with helmsman Bruce Morang (of Chrissy) to hail the wind when it died; or spent typical evenings aboard “Chrissie” with its captain Ernie Wiegleb and his pals, loosely named the “German Navy” and which oftentimes included singing with Al Beck (Phoenix). After these adventures I would guide my Dad as he rowed through the fog back to Eagle in Friendship Harbor. It was just the best. That summer, we didn’t sail on a windjammer but we did sail to Friendship. Shelley and I were very fortunate girls indeed. Why? Because we were given a priceless gift by our fathers. Jack and Don were both our fathers and our friends. Along with that, teaching us how to sail and giving us a sense of wonder. They taught us the true meaning of friendship. They also taught us that we could solve anything. We rebuilt wooden boats and then sailed on them. Don always said, “If you put your mind into it, there was nothing you couldn’t accomplish.” Since that rejection letter, my husband John and I have restored an original Class A Friendship Sloop Westwind and I am currently Commodore of the Friendship Sloop Society. At our last Homecoming a woman skipper, Laurie Raymond on Hegira, won the State of Maine trophy. There are many female skippers and crew who sail to the Rockland Homecoming each year. Shelley moves Tannis and Effie M up from Massachusetts to Rockland with Jack and her brothers and sisters each summer. I think it is time to hatch a new plan with Shelley. We should spend a weekend on Westwind or Tannis with her three grandsons and teach them how to sail. We can also share what our fathers have taught us about Friendship.

19 EASTWARD SPLASHES! By Doug Riley The email arrived during the deep Vermont winter and it sure changed the course of summer 2019. Readers of recent Yearbooks know that I’m engrossed in the restoration of the Friendship sloop Eastward. She was built in 1956 for FSS legend Roger Duncan. After the passing of both Roger and his son Bob Duncan this famous sloop languished. I bought her in 2013 and trucked her to a yard near my home in Vermont for some close attention. Five years of part-time work followed. The boat stayed covered and on the hard throughout this time. Then came that winter email from the marina. A slip big enough for Eastward was vacant: did I want it? I couldn’t be ready to splash first thing in the season – maybe July? Was it worth the hefty price for half a season? I knew she needed to get wet, after that multi-year drying out. I wrote the huge check, put aside other activities (including teaching sailing) and prioritized those remaining “fixes” that were truly indispensable to a launch. These included finishing the steering repairs; plumbing in a second 2,000 gph bilge pump; installing the new Samson post (and its partner structure under the deck); beefing up the bow chock mounts; fitting her new bobchains and installing the rebuilt companionway doors. As I had already completed the seams below the waterline, I reworked the topside seams as needed, then scraped, sanded and painted the hull. I spot-payed the deck seams knowing all the while that most of the deck planking forward of the cockpit eventually needed to be replaced. Some last-minute paranoia led to an unexpected additional project. Eastward’s rudder was fairly new but those years on the hard had opened deep checks in the vertical planks making up the blade. The checks were too deep for my peace of mind: might the planks split top to bottom under a heavy bending load? I bought a big sheet of 1/16” stainless steel sheet and cut out two strips about a foot wide and as long as the rudder is high. I removed a half-circle on each, in the area of the prop cutout. I attached the plates with screws and large fender washers through very oversize holes in the plates. The large holes would allow the rudder to expand as it took up water, without straining or breaking the screws. Finally, I wired up the bilge pumps, their switch, two new batteries and a new shore-power charger. I hooked up the throttle-gearbox cable and the nest of wires leading to the start switch. I’m sure glad I labelled those wires. Launch day came and then was delayed because of weather. The splash finally happened while I was out of town and the marina crew was probably just as happy to be rid of me! They rigged up two huge 110V sump pumps in the bilge and left her in the slings for the weekend. When I got back and jumped aboard with Eastward still soaking in the slings, the big sump pumps seemed not to be running much but what was that sound like a drinking fountain? I traced a little stream of water back to a seam at the horn timber in the stern overhang. Alas, there was no stopping it from the inside. I sighed and asked the Travelift crew to return Eastward to her cradle. I reeved out the seam to raw wood, primed, caulked and puttied it “with vigor.” Upon re-launch, it leaked not at all. Thank you, Lord. In fact, once Eastward’s Philippine-mahogany planks took up fully (which require more than a week) her bilge pumps rarely ran. Those checks in the rudder closed, though I knew they were still there, structurally

20 speaking. Still, all was not unalloyed bliss. The Beta engine, perhaps resenting its long furlough, would often start and then quit. I recognized this issue from a previous boat: a problem with the fuel lift pump. Eastward’s engine had the tiniest of block-mounted lift pumps. I had moved the fuel tank lower during the rework but the fuel line route was still far longer than it would be in the land equipment that the Beta-Kubota was designed for. I added an electric lift pump and wired it up through the start switch. Problem solved although at the cost of a bit more noise down below. I rigged the spars, and the running and standing rigging, over several sessions. I’d purchased a bronze gooseneck to replace the boom jaws and table. This took some head-scratching and mute contemplation. In fact, figuring out the rig involved a great deal of that scratching and contemplating. It took days before the bundle of lines aloft resolved itself into the orderly and familiar network of a little gaffer. As I worked I noted the need for new parts and materials: the lifts were too short to reach their new lower attachment points on the mainsheet bail; the bail itself needed a larger U-bolt; and she REALLY needed lazy jacks. Most seriously though, I concluded that I could put off the deck replacement no longer. As I write this in late March, the pine deck stock is piled out back under the porch roof awaiting this work season. And then there are the new cockpit seat-lockers, hatch cover hinges and even repair of some cosmetic storm damage. I won’t be bored this summer. ‡3XIÀQV1DWXUH ‡/LJKWKRXVHV ‡6XQVHW ‡&KDUWHUV WRéKRXUFUXLVHV WULSVGDLOWRPRQKHJDQLQVXPPHU  

  



    



    

    The tiniest Friendship Sloop at 2” LOA? As seen at South Shore Model Railroad Club, Hingham.

21 ESTELLA (1904) Restoration Stephen C. White President, Mystic Seaport Museum. March 2020 I believe it was the summer of 1966 when a young family sailed SARAH MEAD (#59) down from Camden to Friendship for our very first Friendship Sloop days. I was thirteen at the time and excited to take our family boat and to do some racing! Little did I know how events would then cascade from that welcoming first summer to the summer of 2020. We had many great summers there in Friendship, and Dad (Henry O. White) would later become president of the Society. As a family, we have been forever connected to wooden boats, and 12 years ago I deepened that relationship when I began my time here at Mystic Seaport Museum as its president. Among our collection of over 500 vessels, there is one very special 34’ Friendship, ESTELLA A built in 1904 by R. E. (Rob) McClain. She came to the Museum in 1957 and was later beautifully restored between 1970-72 at Newbert & Wallace where, incidentally, our SARAH MEAD was launched nine years earlier. Under the watchful and knowledgeable eye of Maynard Bray, then Shipyard Director at Mystic Seaport, Newbert & Wallace restored ESTELLA A to its original layout, making her one of the most handsome Friendships I have ever seen. I’ve never had the pleasure of sailing on ESTELLA A but I now have the responsibility and pleasure of coordinating her next restoration. Long in need of more attention, we hauled her into one of our sheds in 2019 and have begun our current work directed by Quentin Snediker of our Henry B. DuPont Preservation Shipyard, with Trevor Allyn as lead shipwright. Trevor has worked on the CHARLES W. MORGAN restoration, the SABINO restoration, and more recently the MAYFLOWER II restoration. His skillful hand and love of history make him the perfect man to take this on, with a team of willing volunteers and other Mystic Seaport Museum shipwrights, as time and projects permit. One cannot help but imagine the potential of ESTELLA A someday sailing again with DICTATOR (#2) and GLADIATOR (#71), not to mention the slightly older but newly restored BLACKJACK (#19). Thank you, Captain Sharp. What a tour de force that would be! As I am about to retire from Mystic Seaport Museum, the continued success of the restoration of the ESTELLA A means a great deal to me. I am pleased that we were able to get this project underway before I left, thanks to some recent funding from a Museum friend with Friendship sloops in his veins as well. I am confident that the envisioned day of four old-but-grand Friendships being together will be realized. We’ll do our best going forward to keep all of you up to date on our progress, and let’s hope that the good work that has been done in recent years on so many Friendships will continue as we honor the legacy of McClain, Morse, Lash, Newbert & Wallace, and Stanley, to name just a few. Speaking of the latter, Mystic Seaport Museum welcomed a 2004 Stanley build (#272), once TAMARA now NOEL, into our fleet. She is a striking 36’ masterpiece, and once we get her out on Fisher’s Island Sound, we’ll send you all a picture.

31 Sailing to Canada Ted Walsh I have a somewhat irrational fear of officials. To offset this, I always try to be sure that when I have to deal with officialdom, paperwork is filled out in advance, copies made, I have looked up everything that I can, and I try to follow the proscribed rules to the letter. Despite my efforts, my run-ins with officialdom seldom go as planned. This was clearly illustrated the first time I sailed our Friendship sloop into Canadian waters in 2001.We pulled into Northwest Harbor, Deer Island, New Brunswick and dropped anchor. The first thing we needed to do was to call Canadian Customs. However, Northwest harbor is really a bit like a mini fiord, with steep hills that rise up right out of the sea, quite safe in a storm but completely limiting for cell service. I had shimmied partway up the mast using the halyards to see if I could get a signal that way. I hung onto the halyards with one hand, waved the cell phone around in the other, and squinted at the screen but had no success. Meanwhile, Saxon, the wolf- dog that went everywhere with me, sat on the deck below looking up at this lunatic behavior, clearly reassessing whether those first two years of her life in the wild had really been that bad. Finally I had to admit that we were not going to get a signal on the cell. Saxon and I rowed ashore to the house of a friend who had a semi-reliable landline. I called the number for Customs and when someone answered, I explained who I was, where I was, and immediately admitted that we had come ashore without permission in order to use the phone. Unconcerned that we had broken the first rule in clearing customs, the official on the phone was more concerned with the location of Deer Island, New Brunswick. It turned out that the officer was in Toronto and had no knowledge of the local geography. After being put on hold, and transferred several times, I finally got through to an official who knew the area but was still not sure exactly where Northwest harbor was. “Is it anywhere near Leonardville?” they asked. Leonardville was right around the corner, and we could be there with the boat in about half an hour. The customs official said that there happened to be customs officers on a boat in the area and that if I would go to Lenoardville and tie up, he would have them meet me there. So, row back out to the boat, up anchor and motor back out of the harbor. As we cleared the harbor entrance I spotted a small vessel that was stopped and appeared to belong to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. There were three uniformed people on board and all were staring down over the side into the water. I should point out at this juncture in the narrative that in this part of New Brunswick there www.FIOREoliveoils.com WE SHIP!

32 is very little boat traffic. There are very few recreational vessels (the tidal range is between 25 and 29 feet) and the lobster fishery is a winter fishery so the commercial traffic is limited to a very few whale-watch boats. Spotting any other boat on the water is a bit of a rarity, so when I saw the RCMP boat I thought, those must be the guys we are supposed to meet. I waved enthusiastically at them and they looked up at me with no change in expression, and went back to staring over the side of their boat down into the water. Okay, I thought, so maybe those are not the guys we are supposed to meet. We kept motoring on around the corner to Leonardville. There is a dock at Leonardville, but it is set up for fishing vessels and has no floats. It’s just a granite dock surrounded by large, barnacle encrusted pilings. The tide was ebbing which put the dock about ten feet above our deck level. I managed to persuade a scared looking tourist to catch our dock lines as we tried to keep the boat clear of the barnacled pilings. At last, after a bit of pantomiming how to tie off the dock lines, we were secured to the docks and waited for the customs officers. After about twenty minutes, we had come to the conclusion that the customs officials must be coming from some distance to meet us, so it came as a bit of a surprise to see the same RCMP boat we had seen earlier enter harbor, head right for us and tie up along side. Sure enough, two of the uniformed individuals were customs officers, while a local RCMP constable piloted the boat. The two customs officers asked to come on board, and once on board, with very polite but humorless exactitude reviewed our passports and vessel documentation. We volunteered some information about where we had come from, when we arrived and our future plans, little of which got much reaction. Then they asked to see papers for the canine. I thought their use of the word ‘canine” was a bit unusual, but I had come prepared. I had brought with me Saxon’s dog license, rabies certificate, and a signed letter from New Hampshire Fish and Game saying that they had examined Saxon and considered her to be a “domesticated animal”. Saxon meanwhile watched the customs officers closely while wearing her most worried expression. Some questions followed as to what the exact difference was between a “domesticated animal” and a “domesticated breed,” questions that I could not answer. 207-596-7293 www.popesails.com

33 I decided at this point that I would not volunteer that Saxon had been examined by two wolf biologists who had concluded that most of her genetic make-up was Canis lupus baileyi – Mexican-gray wolf. The officer kept looking at Saxon’s file and then back at Saxon. I had an uncomfortable feeling she might be questioned next. The two officers then asked to inspect the vessel below, which they did quickly, efficiently, and respectfully. The inspection completed, the more senior of the two officers had us fill out some paperwork while he called someone on his cell and reported our arrival, name of vessel, documentation number, names and passport numbers of people on board, and the license number of one canine identified as a domesticated animal. When he hung up, he smiled for the first time, welcomed us to Canada, and let us know that in addition to checking us in we had just participated in a training exercise. The younger customs officer was brand new to the Canadian Customs Service and had never done a check in and inspection for a foreign recreational vessel, which was why they had been so formal. Both officers became quite friendly and we had a nice gam before they got up to leave. Saxon maintained the worried look, however, and kept a steady eye on them until they left the boat and the RCMP vessel was finally out of sight. Before they left, practically the last thing they said was that we would need a cruising permit for Canadian waters and that they did not have the forms for that. “Just go to the customs station at the south end of the Island, they will have the forms and the permit.” I asked what paperwork to bring, and was told there was no need it will all be in the computer system by the time we get there. Back to Northwest Harbor, anchor, row ashore, beg a ride to the customs station and a little while later we walked into the station that was about ten foot by twelve feet square. There, a very jovial fellow, the only occupant of this tiny outpost, greeted us like old friends. I explained what we had just gone through and what we had come for. “No problem at all”, he said, “I just need your paperwork.” I explained that the other Customs officer had said we would not need it since all the information would be in the computer system. Our new friend looked thoughtful, digested this for a moment, and then he turned slowly and looked around the tiny room as though looking for something. Then he turned back and said, “Let me ask you something, do you see a computer anywhere here?” We ended up filling out the applications by hand and by memory and the cruising permit turned out to be a piece of paper about two inches by two inches square, and for the rest of the summer, no one ever asked to see it.

34 Tech Tips for Greasing Your Seacocks By Bill Whitney I’m starting this article by asking some basic questions about your boat. First: Do you know where all of your thru-hull penetrations are located? Second: Do all of those that are near or below the waterline have seacock valves on them? If your answer to these two questions is either “I don’t know” or “What’s a seacock?” stop here and enjoy the rest of the article. You should also call your mechanic or boat yard and ask them to service your boat’s seacocks before they launch your boat! For those of you who know the answers to the above questions and are aware that the seacocks require maintenance to work correctly keep reading. Seacocks come in many types and sizes but all work pretty much the same, and all function to keep your boat afloat while letting seawater, sewage or engine coolant into/out of the hull. But they have to work correctly and not leak. By this I mean they have to open and close with a little effort and either keep the water out of the boat or let the water in/out to whatever system they are installed to service without dripping. On top of that they have to be rugged enough to withstand the rigors of a vessel under constant stress due the motion of the sea and anything that may come in contact with it inside the hull. The specification is that it must withstand a 500 lb. side load for 30 seconds without failure. If the valve does not have a substantial base it is not going to meet this spec. It’s really easy to take these seacocks for granted. In most installations they are out of sight and are not routinely inspected. Depending on your method of operation they could be operated every time you get underway or twice a year when you launch or winterize your boat. Obviously, the former is preferable to the latter for the simple reason that the more often the seacock is operated the less chance something will go wrong and not be noticed. Left alone for a length of time, in either the open or closed position, grease will gradually harden and corrosion will take it’s toll. Modern valves may be designed with Teflon seals and nitrile “O” rings, but just like the older style “cone” valves they require lubrication to keep corrosion and galling to a minimum. Two popular types of seacocks are pictured below but there are many other types. All of the seacocks have essentially the same parts; they just take different shapes depending on the manufacturer and advances in the materials used. There is the main

35 body, the valve body, a control shaft, a handle and grease plugs. Older styles like the Cone type have adjustable nuts and washers that keep pressure on the tapered cone shaped valve body and allow it to be completely disassembled for maintenance. The newer style Ball valves are much harder to disassemble (read as practically impossible) and normally have to be taken out of the hull before you even attempt it. Exploded views of both types are pictured below. Cone Type Seacock (Exploded View) Ball Type Seacock (Exploded View) Have you ever wondered what those little fittings sticking out of the sides of your seacocks were there for? Those are the grease plugs. They actually have two purposes depending on what you need to do. But before we get into that it’s important that you know how to remove them and why. When is the last time that you greased your raw water intake valve? How about the head/holding tank discharge valve? Did you realize that the grease actually performs three important functions? It lubricates, provides corrosion protection and acts as a sealant. Seacocks come in various designs; tapered cone type valves, ball valves and other styles but they all have one thing in common, they all need some form of lubricant in order to do their job of keeping the salt water on the outside of the hull. A secondary function of the lubricant is to protect the metallic

36 surfaces of the valve body and its core, be it a cone, ball, or barrel shape, from the corrosive effects of salt water. Depending on the location of the valve within the hull it can be a fairly easy job or one that would challenge a circus contortionist. Difficult Access Easy Access Seacock Service Kit The basic steps are very straight forward and easy as the following pictures illustrate. First of all, you have to find all the valves which on some boats is a real challenge as they may be hidden by cabinetry, under machinery, or tucked in a locker that hasn’t been emptied for a while. When you find them make a good drawing of their location so you remember where they are next year or when, God forbid, you are taking on water and have to isolate the system they are hooked to. Now take a good look at the valve body and identify the grease plugs on the sides of the valve. The grease plugs normally have 1/4” or 3/8” heads that screw into the valve body to keep the grease in place. They unscrew easily and can be replaced temporarily with a zerk fitting or Rajah fitting when being replenished with fresh grease. Thr tools required are very basic. You need either an adjustable wrench or one sized to fit the head of the plug, a zerk fitting that is the same size as the plug or a Rajah fitting that is shown below and of course a tube of waterproof marine grease. Once the plug is removed you can temporarily replace it with a grease fitting. I prefer to use a Rajah style grease fitting because it has captive pins on either side of the male fitting which capture the female side on the grease gun and provide a positive seal for the grease insuring that the it goes into the valve and not all over you or your boat. Please note that the female fitting on the standard Zerk fitting tool is adjustable so that it will grab the rounded end of a Zerk fitting tightly. It is tightened by turning it clockwise

37 and loosened by turning counter-clockwise. Be sure that you tighten it before pumping, and be sure you have a rag handy because they always leak a little grease. NOTE: Always put the grease into the fitting when the seacock is OPEN. With it open the grease is forced between the seacock body and the valve and spreads out in a thin film. If you pump the grease into the fitting with the seacock closed all you will do is fill up the middle of the valve and the grease will either be flushed out to sea or into whatever boat system it is part of. Engine cooling systems in particular don’t like to have grease plugging up the heat exchanger tube bundle. Standard Zerk Fitting Rajah Fitting On the cone type valve there should a resistance to the grease going into the valve because of the tight tolerance between the valve core and the valve body. The ball valve is just the opposite because there is a much wider clearance between the ball and the valve body. I normally use the high-pressure leaver pump for cone valves and the low-pressure plunger type grease gun for ball valves. You can also use a cotton swab that will fit through the plug hole. All you are trying to do is get some grease on the ball surface. The ball is sealed by the Teflon seals, not the valve body itself. And some may argue that the Teflon doesn’t require lubrication. They may be right but getting some grease onto the seals will spread it across the surface of the ball as the ball is rotated and provide corrosion control that it would not otherwise have. Rotation of the valve core, be it the cone or ball type is an important part of valve maintenance. One of the downsides of some of the modern seacocks is the handle. I prefer the older design with the square cut end on the valve shaft. This allows a complete 360-degree rotation of the valve body and a more complete distribution of the grease to all the important surfaces and seals. Greasing A Ball Seacock

38 If your boat is outfitted with newer seacocks and stainless-steel handles you will have to take the handle off and either reverse it to turn the valve beyond the stops or use the adjustable wrench to turn the shaft through 360-degrees. In the beginning of the article I mentioned a second use for the grease plugs on the seacocks. I have never seen anything written up on this but I remember my father doing this when the boat was left in the water one very cold winter when a hard freeze was forecast. Have you guessed it? He removed the plugs to drain the water out of the center of the valve to prevent the water trapped in the center of the valve core from freezing and having the ice potentially distort the valve body, thereby ruining it. He drained the water from seacocks that had to be kept closed for the same reason we open the seacocks after the boat is pull out of the water each winter. It’s a lesson I always remember. All of the tools and fittings I’ve mentioned in the article are available in varying designs from NAPA stores or similar industrial supply outlets. The grease used could be any good quality waterproof marine grease as found in most chandleries.
