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 inside, 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 is our 63rd anniversary! The Friendship Sloop Society is a nonprofit 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 one another around a common interest. Sloops registered with the society total 285 with the oldest wood original from 1899 still sailing, to the ‘newer’ fleet of fiberglass models developed by Jarvis Newman in the 1970’s.

4 Commodore’s Message Welcome to the 63rd Annual Friendship Sloop Homecoming Regatta in Rockland Maine! We are very pleased and excited to be the center attraction for the 1st Annual Maritime Heritage Festival sponsored by the City of Rockland! Please come and bring your Friendship Sloop if you have one, or certainly yourself, family, and friends if you have an interest in Friendship Sloops, the Maine Coast, or traditional maritime crafts. We expect to have 3 days of exciting races, as well as a celebration and exploration of the maritime history of Rockland and the Maine Coast of the past, present and future with many interesting exhibits and presentations being planned, in addition to food, music and fun for all ages! This should be a real Festival and not just about boat races. A gathering of friends to share and enjoy each other’s company and open our boats to the public so that they can see and appreciate the beauty and utility that makes Friendship Sloops such a special sailing craft. The Friendship Sloop Society was created to promote and share the joys of sailing these American Classics, and I am sure this Festival will bring many more opportunities to do just that. I hope we can all do our best to make the effort to gather as a Society of Friends and Friendships; to continue to grow and maintain our Charter; and bring more people into the Society to learn the value of sailing on a Friendship Sloop. I for one am very excited to see each one of you and invite anyone reading this who haven’t been down to see us yet: “Please come to the Sloop Regatta in Rockland Maine, July 18th-20th, and meet the Crew!” Andy Zuber, Commodore On the Cover: Gladiator, FSS #71, Built 1902 by Alexander McLain Photo Courtesy of Andy Zuber perched atop the cranse iron!

12 Remembering Victor Goulding By Nancy Goulding & Penny Richards I clearly remember the first time I developed an awareness of Victor Goulding. It was at the 2019 Friendship Sloop Society’s Annual Meeting in South Portland, ME when he was nominated to be the next Vice Commodore. I turned to the person sitting next to me and asked, “What? Who is Victor Goulding?” To this point I’d long been a member of the Trophy Committee and was certainly on hand at the Homecoming awards presentations in Rockland when he collected a trophy or two; but I’m not a sailor and don’t know every person who comes to race at Rockland. Victor was a quiet man. He was a gentle guy who didn’t make waves, or his presence felt under the tent. I had no idea who we’d just elected to take our helm in the coming years. I hope I gave him better as I got to know him and his wife Nancy, and I grew to like them both very much. Victor and Nancy were our Commodores in 2022 and 2023. In 2023, his Homecoming plans were derailed by a cancer diagnosis, and he was too ill to make it to Rockland. He died months later, on September 27, 2023, not living out his two-year term as our Commodore. Nancy said they had boats for years. They owned a Sea Ray power boat and took their children water skiing on the Connecticut River near their home in Holyoke, MA. Victor owed a Kells that was more of a knock-around-in-it sailboat. But the Friendship Sloop Inherit the Wind was his treasure. He bought her in 2015 from a couple in Duxbury, MA, and together with a friend, sailed her to his summer home in Lincolnville, ME. He didn’t know the negative connotation the name has from the Proverbs 11:29, one of many warnings in the Bible about sin and stupidity. It reads in part, “Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.” To Victor the wind was a gift, one who could inherit the power that would push a beautiful ship over the water was a fortunate soul.

13 Scott Phillips had a special relationship with Victor. The two met in 2016 when Scott and his friend Riley were searching for a boat looking for crew. Scott’s mother Caroline had a full roster onboard Eden, and she suggested Scott talk to Victor. “He was nice enough to invite Riley and me on board,” Scott told me. “He asked us what we wanted to do. I was willing to take on any task and he asked me to handle the main.” As they raced, Scott offered tips and tricks, things he called a hold-over from his ‘Cronin roots.’ Realizing he had a savvy sailor on deck, Victor leaned on Scott to help make tactical decisions. They took third place in Division II in 2016. In 2017, Victor wanted Scott onboard again and they bested every boat in the fleet, taking the Liberty Trophy (first overall bald-headed finisher), the Commodore’s Trophy (first in Division II) and the highly coveted State of Maine Trophy. “We won the whole thing,” Scott said. “It was amazing. Victor was very generous, first in welcoming us on and then inviting me to come back. We had a good back-and-forth. I was teaching and he was learning.” In 2022 they again took third in their Division. No one knew it would be Victor’s last FSS regatta. Victor’s daughter Heather wrote a beautiful tribute to her father, and you’ll find a link to it on the FSS website www.fss.org. Go and meet the quiet man, the gentle man who didn’t make waves but had a pocket full of dad jokes, could run a pool table, beat you at cribbage, diagnose any mechanical mystery, and most importantly, loved to share his kind soul with family and friends. When you meet again on a dock in heaven, ask him to tell you about the privy window. AllenIF.com Offices in Rockland, Camden, Belfast, Southwest Harbor and Waterville.

14 A Great Start By Rich Langton Each of the three days of racing at our annual Homecoming Regatta start with a bang; actually, three cannon shots. The first is a ten-minute warning, the second is the start for Division I, or the larger sloops, and the third sends Division II on their way. The start is always exciting because the sloops are crossing and recrossing the start line to test out their strategy for the perfect start. Based on the prevailing wind and the location of the first mark, the boats will all crowd the ends of the start line. Should they cross over the line early, the Race Committee requires they come about and start again. Timing is critical for the more serious racers. The race course itself has changed little since the Homecoming moved to Rockland harbor in the 1990s. Many of the same sloops have participated in the races over the years. Indeed, the race course is included every year as the centerfold in the Sloop Society’s annual publication Friendship Sloops – Sailing New England. Not only is there the chart, which gives the public guidance on where to observe the races, but it also includes the latitude and longitude for each race mark to aid the sloop captains in planning their racing strategy. There is a skipper’s meeting every morning where the Race Committee Chair makes announcements regarding the day’s race. At the initial meeting, the Chair also hands out the latest sailing instructions and informs each boat of their handicap, which is a function of boat length and sail area. As the sloops head out to the race course, and following a radio check with each, the course direction is announced. Now the sloops are ready to begin jockeying for the perfect start at Mark A to round the first buoy at either Mark B (sailing clockwise) or Mark F (sailing counterclockwise). Although the race course itself is pretty much fixed from year to year, the Race Committee itself has seen some changes this past year. First, Dave Graham stepped down as the Race Committee Chair and Rich Langton took over the helm, after being Dave’s understudy for the last several years. Second, Dick Salter, who always set our race marks could not make the trip by sea, but we were lucky to enlist captain Rob Armstrong to set the marks and serve as a safety boat. These minor changes resulted in anxiety on the part of the Race Committee Chair, being his very first race, and some confusion as to the course direction. Let me explain… Rob Armstrong, with the assistance of Race Committee member, Bill Whitney, set the marks including placing a buoy at Mark D out from the green can marking Spears Rock. Not wanting sloops to run aground they set the Mark D in accordance with the latitude and longitude, as was noted in the Yearbook. Friendship Sloops are not only traditional lobster boats, but our captains seem to also fall back on past traditions. The buoy set for Mark D was a change from previous years where racing sloops would shave the distance between Spears Rock and the green can hoping to gain a few seconds over their competitors. So, the race began and our captains in Division I set their clockwise sights on what they thought was Mark B, when in fact they were off course heading straight to Mark D. If only they had paid attention to the chart and noted the proper latitude and longitude for each of the racing marks!

15 As the new Race Committee chair noticed the two lead boats, Tannis and Gladiator (the names of the captains shall remain anonymous) heading for the wrong mark he panicked. “HOLY C….!” or some other Batman-type expletive was heard to be repeated over and over on the Committee Boat. His first race and what did he do wrong!? How could these seasoned sailors be sailing in the wrong direction? A discussion ensued, do we call the sloops back and start over? Do we radio them that they’re confused? Do we let them figure it out? Did we make a huge mistake? As the Race Committee debated, Salatia, a Division II sloop sailed by the stern of the Committee boat and politely asked if Mark B was in a slightly different direction than the Division I sloops were sailing. Since we shouldn’t give racing advice once the race begins, we all pointed and nodded our heads “yes.” Despite the absolutely crystal clear day, Captain Lauriat had obviously taken the time to enter the marks in his GPS. Modern navigational technology saved the day, and he knew in which direction to head. Having seen Salatia take a different tack, Sazerac, one of the slower Division II sloops to start that day, took note of his GPS and Salatia’s move and followed suit, much to the advantage of both sloops over the course of the day’s race! Ultimately, the follow- the-leader-fleet made a course correction and adjusted their heading. Much discussion and kidding occurred at the end of the days racing, with the Race Committee Chair reminding the Captains that it is their job to read the sailing instructions and plot their course accordingly.

22 Richard P. Campbell By the FSS Race Committee We lost Dick on March 10th when he passed away at his home in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, leaving a huge void within the membership of the close-knit Race Committee of the Friendship Sloop Society and, indeed, the entire membership of the Society. We will greatly miss Dick Campbell this year during our 63rd annual gathering at Rockland for the Friendship Sloop Society three-day race program. Born in the suburbs of Boston, Dick’s love of the sea first took him into the Navy after high school, where he eventually became an expert radar technician aboard the destroyer USS W.R. Rush, a radar picket ship with the Atlantic Fleet operating from the Arctic Circle to the Caribbean. Following his service to the country, Dick used the benefits of the GI Bill to gain his BS degree in Industrial Engeeniring from Northeastern University and later, a MS degree in Occupational Safety and Health Management from the University of New Haven. Following his brother Leo onto the FSS Race Committee, Dick proved himself a “quick study” when it came to calculating the scoring of sloop handicaps for our Society’s race program, skillfully accomplished by Dick and his laptop finalizing the daily and total results for our annual Homecoming Regatta in Rockland. Whether it was managing a golf tournament at his much beloved Fenwick Golf Club in Old Saybrook, CT; competitive marksmanship at the Niantic Sportsmen’s Club of Southern Connecticut; supporting his church, Saint Pio Parish in Old Saybrook; or his many years as a Lion Club member conducting countless “KidSight, USA” vision screenings for thousands of vision-impaired children; or in computing the final results of the annual Friendship Sloop Society races at Rockland, Maine – Dick Campbell did it all with grace, humility and accuracy. We’ll be sure he’s keeping a watchful eye, with that “Irish twinkle,” on all skippers, crew, and the Race Committee, making certain everyone is on their best behavior. www.gambellandhunter.net

By Anne-Marie Chouinard I am a rower. I joined the crew team in college and learned how to row and wasn’t into any other kinds of boating until my father introduced me to a member of his yacht club and suggested that I learn how to sail. Dad had seen a pretty little sailboat in the yard of the yacht club and eventually purchased that Friendship sloop. From there he met people from the Friendship Sloop Society and invited me to go with him the following summer to Maine to discover more about these boats and the people who are captivated by them. At the homecoming regatta in Rockland, I remember meeting people – many from Massachusetts – who had made the journey by sea from their home ports. I thought how cool it would be to make that journey one day! In the years that followed, I edged my way closer to making this thought a reality. I joined Dad’s yacht club and I learned how to sail on a Thunderbird from a legend aboard the boat he built. I started racing in the twilight series at what was now also my yacht club and then I got into local weekend races. Over the years I gained additional experience racing and cruising offshore on larger boats. I took a U.S. Power Squadron Boating Safety Course to learn about basic boating safety and the nautical rules of the road. I earned a license in VHF marine radio operation, completed the Royal Yachtmaster sea survival and offshore safety training, including celestial navigation, and became certified in wilderness first aid and CPR. I even flew down to Annapolis to take a basic marine diesel repair course. And of course, I worked with my dad on his boat Ghoti, learning how to work with various power and hand tools, demolish old structures, custom build with wood and MDO, repair with fiberglass, and beautify brightwork. There was often blood, sweat, and tears involved. We took many trips to hardware stores, lumber yards, marine supply stores, chandleries, and junk yards and, of course, we had to eat. Dad would always pick restaurants that had paper placemats, usually the type that had advertisements printed on one side. We would order our food and talk about the next project as we waited for our meal. Dad would then pull out a pen, flip the placemat over and start to sketch out a design and we would talk about the goals and ultimate utility of the new project, deciding our approach and what materials would be needed. As time wore on, the project list seemed to get longer rather than shorter. Things would come up and we wouldn’t make as much progress as planned; other tasks would take much longer than anticipated. It seemed far more time and effort were exerted trying to get the boat ready each season than time spent enjoying her once she was in the water. This was frustrating and demoralizing. Adding to the angst were, of course, the shifting priorities of life, and then the pandemic.

29 Dad had some health issues and decided to buy another Friendship sloop, called Hold Tight. This one was ready to go – no Sisyphean projects needed. Even though she was Dad’s boat, I ended up doing the work of getting her ready for the season, caring for her while she was on the water, and storing her for the winter – a lot to manage on top of everything else. I recognized the signs that I was at a crossroads of sorts; that if I did not take action and make my long-dreamed-of sailing journey happen now, it would never happen. So, last year, I asked my father if I could take Hold Tight to Maine, and he enthusiastically encouraged me. I then made the decisions necessary to make this journey possible. To gain strength and more confidence on the water, I trained over the winter with weights and swimming, then switched back to rowing in the spring. Although I was not starting at square one in terms of boat handling and competency, I knew I would benefit from a crew who could complement me with what I was lacking. I hit the pavement looking for crew and didn’t realize how difficult this part of the preparations would be – it was significant. I also needed to assess Hold Tight’s state of readiness for the journey. I knew there were a few items to address but didn’t know what else was lurking and yet to be discovered. I accosted an unsuspecting member of my rowing club who knew engines and who is also a sailor and asked him to come take a look at a few things to get me started. He ended up helping me getting the oil changed, freeing up and flushing out a stuck seacock valve, identifying an electrical hazard, hooking up navigation lights, and fabricating an entirely new wiring harness. With the boat now in good shape, I turned my attention to ship-to-shore transportation as well as a life raft. My father had rescued a dinghy from a dumpster the prior summer and repaired holes that looked like they could only have been caused by cannon ball fire. Seriously, these were the kinds of holes that usually end the life of boats. Many of us thought it was a lost cause, but I needed something. So, one day in April, I went to sea trial my dad’s fiberglass repair work, and it was solid. Of course, the dinghy was still in rough shape and needed a rub rail, and I couldn’t do all that work and not give her a fresh coat or two of paint. Frugal person that I am, I constructed my own rub rail from a sliced-up pool noodle and a decommissioned hose from the local fire department. I breathed new life into some weathered oars with hand-sewn leather chafe guards, tacked rope collars, round bronze oarlocks, and new grips. Anne-Marie and Hold Tight, FSS #106

30 In May, Hold Tights’ mast went in, weeks after completing the lengthy, weather- dependent process of sanding and carefully layering on the varnish. I reinforced the seizing on the stays and shrouds, and I devised a way to attach the Windex without drilling into this beautiful wooden mast. The bowsprit had a piece of wood protruding out rather significantly and I was concerned that it may fail when under load, so I reached out to my brain trust (whom I affectionately refer to as the Buzzards Bay Coven) to ask their opinions and ideas for what to do. The Coven is composed of the skippers and first mates of Friendship Sloops Hegira, Banshee, and Gaivota. Not only did they give me their thoughts and recommendations, but they also arranged to pick up the bowsprit and do the Dutchman repair for me on Memorial Day weekend! Life was still happening outside of my boat world, but I was determined to make the journey happen, especially since I got special approval for a lengthy vacation, thanks to my recently retired boss. By the end of June, the final pieces fell into place rather quickly. The repaired bowsprit arrived on a Tuesday, I launched Hold Tight the following Friday, and I secured my crew the next day. I purchased supplemental boat insurance and installed Navionics on my phone the f o l l o w i n g We d n e s d a y. Two days later, I launched the dinghy that I c o m m i s s i o n e d “LG” (short for Losing Grip, as a foil to Hold Tight), stress- tested it with a brave passenger, and put the sails on the boat. Saturday, my crew installed a chart-plotter, and we left on Sunday, July 2nd, meeting up with Banshee and Hegira at Great Misery Island off Cape Ann in a driving rain. I had never taken the boat out of Boston Harbor, but now we were on our way to Maine! There were so many unknowns in the journey, and I was so fortunate to have knowledgeable crew members with compassion, patience, and their ability to put up with me and my idiosyncrasies. One even hosted me at her home in Friendship, Maine, for some R&R during bad weather while we waited on parts and repairs for Hold Tight. A lot happened that I had not anticipated, and everything turned out OK anyway. I generally like to plan ahead to mitigate potential problems but, as they say, life happens when you are making other plans. This is very true in cruising so out of necessity I became a bit more flexible. Examples of problems I encountered include: head failure on day two (after a “number two”); electrical power loss while transiting one day (thank goodness we were offshore a bit without the perilous fog that had accompanied us most of the way up); a coolant leak which turned out to be not just the hose leak I discovered from the belt chafe, but the added ‘bonus’ of a bad coolant pump (a fortunate discovery by a mechanic at a well-appointed marina); and my crew being unable to join me for the return voyage so I ended up coming back solo on Hold Tight, fortunately in the company of Banshee and Hegira. Above center: “The Coven” enjoying some R&R

31 I learned how to set an anchor properly and communicate those steps with crew; how to plot a course into my fancy new navigation system and then follow it while underway; how to log engine hours and speed to subsequently determine rate of fuel consumption and on and on. During my down time, I kept busy sewing fender covers and a bespoke mosquito net to fit the cabin hatch opening; setting up a portable solar panel and running electronics from it; baking yummy things with my oven; flying a kite using a fishing rod and going on excursions. That’s right, I could still enjoy my favorite activity of rowing every day while away from my boathouse and practice sessions. I was also grateful to have a bucket on board that became our temporary head when ours failed. I had some truly trying and anxious times along the way: like seeing the green liquid in the bilge and not being able to readily identify where it was coming from, navigating thick fog through narrow passages relying on instrumentation, seeing a catamaran emerge stealthily through fog to starboard like a Klingon bird of prey, and experiencing the roughest sea conditions I had ever encountered on a small boat while passing from Boothbay Harbor to Cliff Island. I remember the adrenaline and peak alertness I felt struggling through rough seas, getting rocked by the wind, waves, and swells and looking back at LG as she seemed to squeal with joy jumping and surfing the waves, all while I stress-ate Doritos and my entire cookie supply in the first two hours of the six-hour-long tumultuous transit. Looking up ahead at Banshee, I found solace knowing that they were leading the way, and we were both in the same seas, and literally in the same 25-foot Jarvis Newman–built boat, with Hegira behind us running sweep. When I arrived at Cliff Island there was a complete yard sale on the cockpit floor and my body ached like I had gone twelve rounds in the ring. There were also serendipitous discoveries. Like seeing phosphorescence light up the dark water late at night the first evening when I came out to return some water to the ocean; receiving a doughnut delivery from Messing About; clocking 7.6 knots on that sail up from Potts Harbor just on the outside of Seguin where we tested what she had – dipping her boom in the water a few times (oopsie!); harvesting mussels off the rocks at Witch’s Island and eating them steamed on Black Star while everyone shared their boating stories; taking the ferry to visit friends on Vinyl Haven; and the most emotional moment and feeling of finally arriving at the Rockland town docks on Friday night of Homecoming, once all the repairs were completed. There were so many Friendship sloop sailors on the docks ready to welcome and receive me and help me nestle into raft formation with Hold Tight’s sisters. It was the “cherry on the top” to participate in the Parade of Sloops and join the final race the next day with more crew, including the owner of Old Baldy (the original Captain Chouinard at the helm

32 sloop from which Hold Tight’s mold was cast) who also happens to be the daughter of the builder, Jarvis Newman. They say it takes a village, and this venture was no different. There were so many people who contributed to the success of this endeavor, and I am grateful to everyone who helped along the way. This journey would not have been possible without the daily support and camaraderie of John & Carole Wojcik of Banshee and Laurie Raymond and Rusty Strange of Hegira as we cruised together – they became family to me as they welcomed me into their fold and we shared morning radio checks, evening cocktail hours, and all the other memories in between. I hope to join them again on a new adventure. Earlier this year, I was able to share a presentation of my journey with my dad and he was able to experience it vicariously through my storytelling; I know it made him proud to see that I am now also a sailor.

33 Our Journey to Freedom By Richard Schwartz Our physical journey to becoming the caretakers of Friendship Sloop Freedom began in the late spring of 2017, however my own spiritual journey began much, much earlier in life. Well before Karen and I met in college, well before I ever laid eyes on a sloop, my head was filled with tales of wooden boats and hard men doing the tough job of fishing in the North Atlantic. You see my great grandfather was the cook and winter master of the Nova Scotian schooner Bluenose. Yes, that Bluenose. As a young child I used to sit on my grandfather’s knee under a lithograph of a square rigger sailing in confused seas and threatening skies enthralled by his stories. I was told of the harsh reality of a fisherman’s life: the long months at sea, the back-breaking and dangerous days of fishing, and the fragility of life and vessel alike against the ever-changing emotions of the North Atlantic. Indeed, my grandfather once stowed away on his father’s schooner and never went to sea again. My own father gets seasick seeing a glass of water shake. Nonetheless, the pull to saltwater was firmly entrenched in my blood and psyche. When I was five my dad came home with a derelict fluorescent orange dory with a green number painted on it. It was a cold November day when he told me to go and clean the leaves out of it. I entered our garage and crawled up into the dory precariously perched atop two sawhorses. Things hadn’t progressed very far when a thunderous crack bounced off the walls of the garage and I found myself on the cold concrete floor staring up through a hole in the bottom of that dory. Thus ended my first experience with wooden boats. Karen, on the other hand, had no direct ties to the sea, although her grandfather was a sailor in the Navy, then a longshoreman for many years afterwards and always enjoyed walking on the beach. After we met in college, she became fully indoctrinated by my ocean obsession and, while she may not admit it, listening to me likely got quite monotonous. She accompanied me on every sojourn to the meccas of wooden boats: Mystic Seaport in Connecticut; the USS Constitution in Massachusetts – the first wooden ship I ever stepped upon and didn’t put my foot through; The Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle; the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festivals in Washington State; and Maine’s very own Maritime Museum. The Center of Wooden Boats would be significant for two reasons. First, it was where I had my first taste of working on wooden boats. While the engineering workforce at a certain well known aircraft manufacturer in Seattle was on strike, I participated in the lofting and building of a small round-bottom skiff similar in design to a Whitehall. Second, and more germane to our journey towards Freedom, we set our eyes on the first Friendship Sloop we’d ever seen (although I didn’t know her design lineage at the time). Her name was Amie, and she fit right in in the little basin on Lake Union. The graceful bend of her bowsprit, the curve of her sheer – I was smitten. Karen and I learned to sail on J-22/24 class sloops, while living in Washington State, and joining the US Sailing Association and a local sailing club. We spent many fun weekends sailing Lake Washington on the east side of Seattle. We joined much more experienced friends, spending a weekend sailing the San Juan Islands on a Catalina 30.

34 In 2000, we spent six days on the wooden schooner Alcyone learning to sail a gaff-rigged boat as our last sailing trip in the Pacific Northwest. In late 2001, after the life-altering events of September 11th, Karen and I decided to return to our New England roots for a number of personal and professional reasons. Karen secured a job and moved to Maine first in January of 2002, and I stayed behind until our house sold in May. We then packed up our ’96 GMC Jimmy with our two kayaks, two dogs, and two wooden skiffs in tow, hopped on Interstate 90 and began our trek across the country. I didn’t have a job, nor even a prospect of a job, but for some crazy reason I figured it would all work out. I began my boatbuilding career in December of 2002 and worked in various yards until the financial crisis of 2008/2009 hit and the boatbuilding industry in Maine took a huge hit. I finally landed on my feet at my current place of employment and the pace of our boating journey quickened; I began speaking openly about my desire, neigh obsession, of owning a wooden sailboat. While this was happening, Karen had been working her way up the corporate ladder and after a well-deserved promotion, came home one day and decreed “I think we need to buy a sailboat.” Once my initial shock wore off (and checking to see if my wife had been swapped!) I asked for only one stipulation: that it be a wooden sailboat. After numerous discussions, a coworker introduced me to Chris Bales, a friend of his. I don’t know if there is anyone associated with boating in Maine who doesn’t know Chris – he has many, many connections. After a few phone conversations, Chris asked us to meet him at the 2017 Friendship Sloop Society Regatta in Rockland, Maine. We found Chris dockside on a sunny and hot July. Very quickly Chris introduced us to some of his connections in the Society: sloop owners Wayne and Kirsten Cronin (of Rights of Man) and Kathe Newman Walton (of Old Baldy – the “plug” used by her father Jarvis Newman to build the first fiberglass Friendships in 1968) and a yacht broker. In a whirlwind of handshakes, and short conversations, we found ourselves as crew on the sloop Tannis, and speaking with Ted Walsh and Judy Heininger, owners of sloop Black Star. Ted and Judy sail out of Boothbay Harbor and in our few minutes of discussions we quickly had an invite to go sailing with them the following week. Our sail on Tannis solidified two things for us. First a sloop the size of Tannis was much too large for Karen and me, and second, we really wanted to purchase a Friendship Sloop. That very day we stopped looking at all other types of sailboats. Keep in mind that our search for a wooden sailboat had only begun about a month before. As promised, the following week we met up with Ted and Judy and went for a sail on Black Star. What a beautiful and graceful boat, and what warm and generous people. Ted and Judy answered the scores of questions we had and asked probing ones of their own about our search. At the end of the day, not only had we made new friends, had a great sail and fruitful discussions, we had decided that even top masted Black Star was a bit too big for us. At Ted’s suggestion we decided to look for a bald-headed sloop to begin our Friendship journey. Ted and Judy also indicated they knew someone who had a Ralph Stanley designed and built bald-headed Friendship that may be interested in selling to the right buyers.

35 Let’s pause for a second, shall we? Keep in mind the amount of time between Karen saying “go” and the sail on Black Star was roughly six weeks. We’ve taken more time deciding to buy a piece of furniture! While we didn’t know it at the time, the pace was going to get even faster. We first spoke with Maldwin Drummond about his boat Freedom in early August. The first calls were casual get-to-know-you conversations during which I told him of my love for wooden boats, and our desire to own a Friendship. Maldwin told us all about Freedom and how much he wanted her to go to people that would continue to care for her as he had. He told us where Freedom was stored in Rockport and arranged for us to go look at her. We first laid eyes on Freedom on a hot August day, and she took my breath away: looking like she was going 8-knots albeit resting on her boat stands! She was simply gorgeous. Very well kept, her white topsides and varnished tiller gleaming in the summer sun. Her lower hull was skirted and kept humidified. Karen and I were smitten. By mid-September we had “the” call. Karen and I were very nervous, and when Maldwin told us what he was asking for Freedom, our hearts sank. The tension in the silence was palpable. I don’t remember which of us spoke first, but when we said we couldn’t afford it, Karen and I both figured it was all over. Now, Maldwin is a terrific person, and what we heard instead was “Well how much were you looking to spend?” When we responded there was a very short pause, then he spoke the words that sent our hearts soaring and caused our mouths to drop open. He said, “Ok, I can do that.” To say we were shocked would be a vast understatement. We thanked him for helping to make our dream come true, and he was very happy to have Freedom going to people that were going to love and care for her. After a very thorough survey and the working out of all the details, Karen and I finally became the caretakers of Freedom in January of 2018. Our journey towards Freedom took just over six months. Many times, since then we’ve looked at each other and marveled at how this all came to pass. The chain of people who knew people, who knew people, is something one only sees in movies. The fact that we are caretakers of a Ralph Stanley designed and built Friendship is truly humbling. We feel a tremendous sense of duty to love and maintain her to the best of our abilities. Yes, our journey to Freedom is complete. But our journey with Freedom is still just beginning. We will share some of this unfolding journey with you in the future but will also share the amazing story behind how Freedom came into this world. “Epifanes raised my standards. Easy to work with. Cures like glass. They definitely nailed that formula.” — DAN LEE DAN LEE BOATBUILDING “Predictability. That’s a big factor. I know what Epifanes is going to deliver every time I use it. It applies nicely. It flows up beautifully. You’ve got quite a long working time, but then it also dries quickly to a glassy finish. There’s nothing else like it, really, and that makes it easier for less experienced applicators, too.

36 Sailing Solo By Andy Zuber I have had the unique experience of having a Friendship Sloop in my life since birth. Mind you, not just any Friendship Sloop, but an original one, that was already sixty- six years old, and I am now 55. That is unique, but so is GLADIATOR. I have written before of how I take GLADIATOR out by myself and sail her single-handed. Now, most people who sail might think that a bit dangerous, or foolhardy, but over the years my father and I have simplified the rig to make GLADIATOR’s considerable amount of sail quite manageable: once the mainsail is set, the single large jib (aka “Jumbo”) is easily handled on its roller reef, and she sails pretty much like a 32-foot Herreshoff 12 1/2. Both sails are essentially self-tending, and as long as you have enough room and pay attention to the weather and where you’re headed, it is quite enjoyable. But my wife asks me, what fun is it to go all by yourself? Well, she is new to sailing and to GLADIATOR, as we have only been together 14 years. She doesn’t have the long relationship that I have with this boat. For me, rowing out to GLADIATOR by myself is rowing back in time. Depending on the type of day different voices, faces, and memories drift before my mind’s-eye. Visions of my Uncle Carl and his accordion on the foredeck, or my “Uncle Stew” in the companionway wisecracking with my Mom, Dad, and his wife Dot when I was just 4 years old, just coming to Maine for the first time. My aunt Sue reminded me to “Put on your life jacket, Andy!” These are but a few of those memories. Then there are the many days with my dad, and his gentle suggestions as I slip the mooring, and head GLADIATOR off the wind and feel the water start to move under her keel. My dad had a way of teaching that I have tried to emulate. He would just sort of move out of the way, and let you do it, and then watch and let you figure the boat out without the usual condemnation and harsh words you hear about with other “sailing instructors.” Like I said, I try to emulate his teaching methods, but he was a true master. He really enjoyed other people sailing his boat. And then there is the boat itself. For me, GLADIATOR is filled with people and memories wherever I look. Every trip I take brings me a sight, a smell, or a sound that dredges up some long-lost adventure from a long-ago day sail that always brings a smile to my face. Yes, technically I am sailing solo, but I am never alone. MAINE BOAT&HOME SHOW Boats, Artisans, Food, Music & Family Fun!
