EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

The changing face of high-seas piracy

Piracy off the Horn of Africa has been a hot topicin recent years, made the more so by the releaseof the movie “Captain Phillips,” about the 2009

hijacking of the cargo ship Maersk Alabama by Somalipirates some 240 miles southeast ofthe Somali port city of Eyl. But at aDec. 14 Ocean Cruising Club (OCC)luncheon at the U.S. Naval War Col-lege, in Newport, R.I., with a talk bya War College professor, we learnedthat the organization and reach ofIndian Ocean pirates has changeddramatically since the much publi-cized hijacking of VermonterRichard Phillips’ ship. Our speaker was Andrea J. Dew,

co-director of the Center on Irregu-lar Warfare & Armed Groups and anassociate professor in the Strategyand Policy Department at the WarCollege. Dr. Dew is also co-editor –with War College dean of academicaffairs John Garofano – of “DeepCurrents and Rising Tides: The In-dian Ocean and International Security” (GeorgetownUniversity Press, 2013, 331 pp., $29,www.press.georgetown.edu). At the outset, Dr. Dew said she was going to tell us,

as cruisers under power and sail, “how to get insidethe heads” of the pirates, and where piracy is likely tooccur in the future. In the past, Dr. Dew said, voyagershave found solace in staying well offshore of Somalia,or by passing danger zones in heavy weather (“Condi-tions are too rough for the pirates”). As of 2007, theseploys no longer enhance safety, she added: “Armedgroups have been extending their range.” In 2006, So-mali buccaneers operated as far as 165 miles offshore,she said; by 2010, they were hijacking vessels as faroffshore as 1,100 miles. How? By basing their attackvessels at far-ranging mother ships, undeterred byheavy weather, which store weapons and provisionsand deploy smaller boats to replenish supplies fromshore.But there is both good and bad news, Dr. Dew said.

The good news is that the percentage of internationalpiracy incidents reported off Somalia has been “muchreduced” due to the presence of multi-national Com-bined Task Force 151, which patrols the Gulf of Adenshipping lanes, and because of improved ship security.In 2011, 54 percent of all pirate attacks worldwidewere off Somalia, she said. According to the ICC Inter-

national Maritime Bureau Piracy Reporting Center, asof September 2012, of 225 incidents worldwide 70, or31 percent, occurred off Somalia. The bad news, Dr. Dew said, is that the pirates have

not gone away. By the time of her talk,234 incidents had been reportedworldwide in 2013, “primarily target-ing oil ships.” Due to pressure on theiroperations off Somalia, they appear tobe moving to new hunting grounds.And, she added as she looked out overthe predominantly OCC audience, “Iwould recommend that this groupkeep an eye on the Caribbean.” She isstarting to see groups “taking advan-tage of situations on land [e.g., highstate instability and low income lev-els],” she continued. “They are not or-ganized, but this makes them moredifficult to deal with . . . . . Be aware ofthe ‘outliers,’ who are the next trend inpiracy,” she said, “and a long way awayfrom the Somali coast.”When asked if cruisers might be

safer cruising in the company of another vessel, Dr.Dew offered an abrupt “No.” “This is an organizedcriminal enterprise, a huge business with a model de-signed to make money. You are simply a business op-portunity. They will find a way.” Regarding havingguns aboard for defense: “When you’re in the middleof the ocean, carrying weapons will be ineffective toprotect yourself against such a business model.”Dr. Dew told of the 388-day ordeal of Paul and

Rachel Chandler, after they were abducted in October2009 by pirates from their 38-foot cutter, Lynn Rival,off the Seychelles, more than 600 miles from the So-mali coast. They paid the ransom of $810,000 – $2,088per day of captivity – in November 2010 – big businessfor a small boat.Two sentences from the Combined Maritime Forces

website (www.combinedmaritimeforces.com) may beenlightening to cruisers as they choose destinationsand itineraries: “The rise of piracy in the region can bedirectly linked with the fall of the stable governmentand breakdown of law and order in Somalia in 1991.Gangs formed under local clan loyalty and warlordleadership and developed into the piracy groups of to-day.”If you find yourself threatened by pirates, said Dr.

Dew, “You can’t expect the level of response Capt.Phillips received.”

As of 2009, Somali pirates began hi-jacking vessels as far from base asthe Seychelles and beyond.

LettersThe shorthanded racing circuitA new sailboat racing circuit is popping up around

our waters here in New England coastal waters – theshorthanded racing circuit – and a remarkable seriesof events is available to singlehanded and double-handed sailors. A crew may start in May on Long Is-land Sound, progress up to Maine and finish back inthe western end of the sound. A busy boat could makeabout 14 events in one season. I count eight possibleevents held on the north side of Cape Cod. The question is: what is shorthanded sailing? A fol-

low-up question is, Why would anyone participate?Painting with a broad brush, shorthanded sailing issailing the way most of us sail. Our boat, Averisera, isa doublehanded cruiser between multi-handed races.When Mama and I cruise, we usually meet other cou-ples sailing boats that are nicely prepared and wellsailed. That’s shorthanded sailing. Why race? Simplystated: Racing improves cruising. Ever hear anyonebrag about their slow passages? Me neither. Cruisersare as fond of fast passages as are racers. Eight years ago, Mama and I bought our Aphrodite

101 and headed off to a New England Solo Twin Racein Newport. We were new at this, and it showed, butthe veteran sailors made certain we were ready. Theyprobed politely with questions and suggestions. We ap-preciated the attention. Tips centered on personal preparation, planning and

rest. It is not about your stuff; it’s about you. I havenever experienced this camaraderie of shorthandedsailors anywhere in the fully crewed world. We de-parted the Newport event not just better sailors, butalso with a handful of new friends. We continue to raceshorthanded to build our skills for when we sail away.We are becoming a better sailing team, and I am, ar-guably, more pleasant to cruise with.A quick look at the shorthanded circuit reveals three

major regions: Newport, including Eastern Long Is-land Sound and the Cape; western Long Island Sound;and north of Cape Cod. Each region has its own char-acteristics. Western Long Island Sound features long-distance

races such as The Block Island Race, the Around LongIsland Race, and the Vineyard Race. Interestingly,Stamford Yacht Club hosts two days of doublehandedracing for PHRF cruising boats. I think this is the onlyclub to have such an event.Let’s call the races starting between eastern Long

Island Sound and the south side of Cape Cod the New-port Region. Newport is Shorthanded-Racing Central.

Off the City by the Sea, events such as the New Eng-land Solo Twin, Offshore 160 and Bermuda One-Twotake center stage. The popular Ida Lewis DistanceRace, sailed out of Newport’s Ida Lewis Yacht Club, of-fers a PHRF doublehanded class. After that, you canfigure on another dozen days of shorthanded racing,all starting within a day’s sail of Newport. A must-dois the Around Martha’s Vineyard Race.North of Cape Cod, events are widely distributed.

Massachusetts Bay has a couple of events with Dou-blehanded trophies: the Beringer Bowl (Marblehead)and June Moon Chase Race (Boston). North of CapeAnn, Kittery Point Yacht Club hosts a pair of dayraces – one for singlehanders and one for doublehan-ders. In Maine, Rockland Yacht Club has the Province-town to Rockland Gulf of Maine Solo-Twin. Afterracing Beringer, continue north and east to Maine foran August and September of cruising Downeast. Inmid-September, it’s back to Rockland for the MaineRocks Race. If you have any energy left, hustle ondown to Greenport for their ocean race and then toGreenwich for the Indian Harbor Y.C.’s Gearbuster.

Norman MartinBoston, Mass.

Editor’s note: Norm is probably best known for hiswork with Boston Sailing Center, and, with sailingschools in general, as a cruising-course captain. Normand Elizabeth blog at Averisera.com.

Editor didn’t go up far enoughI just read The Editor’s Page on gunkholing

(“Gunkholing,” October/November 2013), and he’sright, Milltail Creek was it! But he didn’t go farenough up the creek.I’ve sailed my boat from Cape Cod to Miami and Ba-

hamas for the past 16 years. I always go inside to avoidCape Hatteras, and have traveled the Alligator Rivermany times. I have a 50-foot sloop and usually goalone, which is often gunkholing in itself .The editor didn’t mention that it’s almost impossible

to see, let alone find, the abandoned entrance to Mill-tail Creek. It is over a mile off the marked navigationchannel of the 15-mile-long Alligator River (so namedbecause it looks like an alligator in its configuration).There are no houses or signs of life along the entireriver.I picked my way carefully and slowly across the 10-

foot-deep expanse of water toward an area where theshoreline forest looked a little taller and darker. Iheard a thud and coasted in neutral to clear a snag,

probably an old, abandoned timber or stump, finallycoming to within 100 feet of shore, where I anchoredwith 60 feet of chain in 10 feet of water.Not as bold (or maybe smarter than) the editor, I

jumped in my Zodiac and began my adventure. I foundthe entrance to the creek and was engulfed by the veg-etation – and the intrigue. As I proceeded, I saw aban-doned docks and decks and rotting cabins along thethick shoreline. After three or four miles, the tall over-hanging trees thinned out, and I came to a large lakewith several small islands surrounded by fields ofrolling grass. Paradise. But there was no one there – no boats, no people, no

buildings, no signs of life. I sounded, and it was 10 feeteverywhere – a perfect anchorage, except you couldn’tget into it. I putted around, made a few casts, and hada little trouble finding the creek again to get back. Islept aboard that night in the same spot at the mouth,with my ear peeled for Okeefenokees.

Bob DeMarcoDennis, Mass.

Editor’s note: Bob, are Okeefenokees swamp mon-sters we should be aware of?

The editor’s sloop went far enough up Milltail Creek for hercrew to wonder if they could turn around but not far enough.

STORY, continued from Page 8


MYSTERY HARBOR/And the winner i s . . .

A lot transpired there in the last four decadesThe Mystery Harbor is Greenwich Harbor in Green-

wich, Conn., and the photograph is looking generallynorth from Long Island Sound into Greenwich Harbor.The prominent building on the point to the right ofcenter is the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, where mystep-brotherhad his wed-ding receptionthere some 20years ago. The two low

buildings sit-ting on the sideof the hill in thecenter of thephotograph areoffice buildingsin GreenwichPlaza, whereGreenwich’sMetro Northcommuter rail-road station islocated. In theforeground, on the left side of the photograph, is theshoreline of the Belle Haven development. Here, youngMartha Moxley was murdered in 1975, and MichaelSkakel was convicted of her murder and jailed, but hewas recently released for a new trial.I grew up and went to elementary through high

school in Greenwich, living there from the late 1960s

through the early 1980s. My father moored his boat,and we did most of our boating, out of Greenwich Cove,which is a couple of miles east of Greenwich Harbor.But we often went out of Greenwich Harbor on thetown ferry to what we called “Island Beach” (Great

Captain’s Is-land). When Iwas in highschool, I wouldoccasionally“park” near theIndian HarborYacht Club withmy girlfriend. My wife and I

now live in Fal-mouth, Maine,and boat out ofthe PortlandYacht Club, butwe still make itdown to Green-wich occasionallyto visit my father

and step-mother. In fact, we were just there forThanksgiving and caught a train into Manhattan fromthe railroad station at Greenwich Plaza. I love PointsEast; it’s an indispensable guide for New Englandboaters!

Perspectives

In the three years my elderly dad cared for mybedridden mom at home, he was pretty muchhouse-bound. So, he thought, “I’ll make a

model of Phyllis, the family boat…the boatwe spent our honeymoon on over 50 yearsago… the boat the three boys were raisedon...the boat we learned a lot about life on.” It didn’t matter that he hadn’t built an in-

tricate model boat before. He just began withseven blocks of wood stacked up, and, likelife, he worked his way through it. It gavehim purpose at a time when his one care, mymom, was at the end of the line. While heshaped and hollowed out the hull, and builtfrom scratch every piece you see here – downto the tiny red towels monogrammed with“Phyllis” – his memories of life on the realPhyllis floated back. I remember my first time going down to his base-

ment workshop and watching him, an 80-year-old, stillfocused on building something, and doing so with care.“How are you going to make a model of a fully riggedsailboat from a pile of scap-pine boards, Dad?” He justwinked at me. “It’ll take forever, even if you figure out how to do it,”

I said. He didn’t respond. Somehow, in the end, he hadperfectly hand-fashioned every part: a miniature an-chor, tiny clock and barometer, coal stove, winches andrigging, and a forward hatch. “You went aboard through that hatch in August of

1950 as a newborn, wedged into the forepeak in a bas-ket,” he said. “You may not remember. But I do.”

His attachment, and now mine, to Phyllis,are for reasons I don’t question. Dad hadlearned the ropes of life by then. Part of that,I guess, was not letting go of what is good andtrue, but, rather, celebrating those things bycontinuing to build something, and by doingso, rekindling and creating more memories. These include this one for me: that of an el-

derly dad and his middle-aged son standingshoulder to shoulder in a basement work-shop, each temporarily forgetting the knotsof their lives, each drifting back in time, whilethey built something new. It was bit by bit,tiny piece by tiny piece, as the model tookshape, that we shared who we really were.

For a time, and sometimes for all their time, fathersand sons hold back much from each other – perhapsout of fear, perhaps out of pride, perhaps out of cow-ardice or shame. But always there comes a point whenthe sands of time have almost drained from the glass,when there’s little chance left to share what reallymatters, and, like the lines of a well-drawn hull, what’sreally true.

Dave Roper’s book, “Watching for Mermaids,” whichclimbed to No. 4 on the “Boston Globe” Best-Sellers List,is available through www.amazon.com. His new book,“Learning the Ropes,” will be out in 2014.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Capt . Mike Mar te l

In the shadows

As the winter season closed in and Christmas ap-proached, I would often stay at the shop well af-ter closing time, sitting in the silence and

enjoying the quiet peace at day’s end. I managed a tidylittle nautical book shop in the north end of Newport,offering charts, nautical books, and cruising guides forsailors. The girls had tastefully decorated the shop with fes-

tive Christmas decorations including a small, trimmedartificial tree with gaily-wrapped and ribbon-tiedempty boxes beneath, and had strung frosty whiteminiature lights around the frames of the big frontwindows on the street. They gave the place a soft, old-fashioned Christmassy air, and I would shut off themain overhead lights at dusk and sit in my desk chairfor a while after the shop was closed, watching thedeep-blue of winter night descend behind the ancientrooftops of the clapboard colonial homes with theirmassive chimneys across the street. The big windows faced westward, so after the sun set

and the sky turned steel-blue, the bare branches of thetrees would whip about in the strong, cold winter windsthat blew across Newport harbor from the sea beyond.Often the wind would carry the incense of a hardwoodfire burning in one of those ancient hearths, and Iwould catch a whiff of it on the frosty air, and it wouldmake me wish that I could curl up on the warm bricksin front of it, wherever it might be, listening to thecrackle of dry oak and basking in the flickering lightfrom the flames and, perhaps, a tallow candle or aBetty lamp.It was a festive, sad and quiet time all at once for me.

The shop’s display racks were stacked with colorfulglossy guides to dreamlike destinations in the warmCaribbean, slices of paradise characterized byturquoise-blue waters, white coral sand, green coconutpalms, and trade-wind breezes, but all so far away, sounreachable from this land of northern winter cold atthe bottom of the year. They constantly reminded me of where I was, rather

than where I would rather be, lounging on a beach onmy insular Tahiti, subject of my yearning and soul-hungry longing, the fruit within sight on the displayrack but, in reality, well beyond reach. The quietude was a balm for my soul and my spirits;

I might daydream for a time, focused on the cover pho-tography of one of those richly illustrated guides. I hadthe job of being the shop’s keeper, though not its owner.I had finally found a place of comfort and security, orso it seemed, but it was not in fact secure, and in thedeepest regions of my heart I knew that it would neverwork. There was no money in it, so little in fact that soon

my world would be unsustainable. It was a false com-fort, for although it felt neat to be a shopkeeper with akey, a purveyor of charts and books – all things that Iloved very much – with a quiet dignity and distin-guished saltiness to it, it did not protect me, not forlong; it could not last. Nor did it tax or challenge me.Sooner or later I must plunge back into the maelstromof the industrial world where I had gathered my expe-rience and made my name, and try to make a decentliving at it. But for now, for a few brief months, I was in another

world, one that I had always sought to be apart of, but it was like finding oneself at longlast on a beautiful, small desert island, some-where in the middle of the Caribbean or thePacific; you have arrived at the place whereyou always wanted to be, but without any-thing to eat, not enough to live on, too few co-conuts. I would have to go back to the traces that

I thought I had successfully cast off, in orderto survive. It seemed a bitter pill. All therivers run into the sea, only to return to theplace where they began.Down by the waterfront, the varnished dark masts,

yards and spars of traditional sailing ves-sels moored at the wharf shone dimly inthe glow of street-level lamps, then disap-peared like phantoms into the dark sky,vanishing and merging with the black win-ter night the higher I lifted my gaze. Likea vision into the dark nebula of the past,they stood silently over the jumble of oldrooftops and brick-laid alleys, stolidly mutewhile beneath their loft yards, nakedyoung trees were hung with garlands oftwinkling Christmas lights that cavortedgaily in the wind like draped necklaces of

jewels wrapping a ballroom of mad dancers as the wind

whipped their branches about. After closing the shop on such evenings, I would wrap

my scarf around my neck, don my wool pea coat, andventure down to the quiet and empty waterfront to seethe lights, breathe the fresh, salty air, and contemplatethe strange juxtaposition of past and present that char-acterizes Christmas each year in a quirky centuries-old town full of anachronisms. The waterfront wasespecially empty on these frequently cold and windynights; I liked it best that way. Occasionally a bundled-up, shadowy phantom scut-

tled from one corner to a doorway, or down the street,mutely into the darkness, paying no notice and no heedto anyone or anything about; heads lowered, hands inpockets, they scurried from shelter to shelter. As Iwalked, my footfalls on the brittle bricks clicked outsharp and keen and reverberated off brick and clap-board alley walls. It was my town, at such times; cold,but that was the price of ownership. It was for me a time of contemplation and introspec-

tion: I could be alone with my thoughts under themoonless sky. On the wharf, I stood in the wind andstared out blankly onto the dark, unseen harbor,choppy and sloppy in the windy night; I could hear itbetter than I could see it, but for a few twinkling lightsstanding out from the far shore. At such times, I re-membered people who had passed on, and I could quitenearly hear their voices in the wind. At such times, past

and present merged in a wave of melancholy sweet-ness, the memories of good things and times keepingmy heart from weighing heavy. But then I felt, all the more keenly, the wish that I

could board a fine, big yacht, heading south out of thesewinter seas of my soul, bound for the bright, warm is-lands of palm fronds rustling in the trade winds, wherethe dark hues characteristic of life in these latitudescan only be found in the deepest of shadows. I would gladly hand, reef, and steer the ship, eager

to abandon these melancholy shores of living memoriesand disappointments, to start a new life, make a newbeginning, clear my mind of all things sad and haunt-ing – to leave my ghosts behind me, shadows of woe un-able to follow me across the cleansing, purging watersof the Gulf Stream. But now, nothing stirred; no ship was leaving with

the morning tide with a course set for the islands inthe south. Small ice crystals began to fall from an over-cast sky. I turned my steps homeward, desperatelymindful of time’s ticking clock.Capt. Mike Martel, who grew up on Narragansett

The message on our answering machine soundedurgent. Somewhere out on the bay a boat wasrunning low on fuel. The marina had been offi-

cially closed now for a couple of weeks, and I’d just

happened to stop by our office and had seen the tele-phone blinking. I called the number back and a voice far off an-

swered. Could we pump gas for him, he asked? He

In the fall, cruising boats head down our river to the ocean, bound for the tropics, and two of these stopped at our marina.

knew we were closed, but he was almost out. I told himI’d unlock the pump and watch for him. Where was he?Off Wood Island, he said. He’d be in the Saco Riverwithin an hour. I figured it must be a cabin cruiser onits way south, probably with twin V8s, a couple-hun-dred-gallon tank, and a huge appetite for gasoline. Itturned out that was not the case at all. There was no traffic on the river. All the boats at our

docks and moorings had been hauled. Dry leaves hadbegun to pile up against the office door. It was the endof the season. Soon I saw a tiny sailboat motoring uparound the bend. I watched as the diminutive Hunter19 eased around C “15” can and glided up to our fueldock. I took both his bow and stern lines and made fastto the dock cleats. The cheery captain thanked me for waiting and for

opening the pump. The steel tank for his outboard mo-tor held just six gallons plus a pint of oil. I marveledat his small boat and rather slapdash rig. “Where’reyou headed?” I asked. “Florida,” he eagerly answered. Ah-ha, I murmured.

I knew all about that because he was not the only oneheaded south. We had another boat at the fuel dock. This one was

larger and more seaworthy, a 30-foot Islander. Heryoung owner had been a liveaboard all summer, andnow he and his friends were busily fitting out for theirtrip south to the Caribbean. They’d been drilling, saw-ing and hammering for days. Each afternoon, they’d show up in his Jeep with an-

other load of gear to be hurried aboard and stashed ev-erywhere. The two boats tied to our fuel dock could nothave been more different. One seemed to be held to-gether with nothing more then bailing wire and inno-cence; the other was being outfitted to deal with everykind of rough weather, delay or hazard. The solo sailor needed a place to hang out for a few

days and replenish his meager supplies. It took only aquick introduction for the two captains to meet andbond and begin visiting back and forth across the fueldock. By now, I had locked up the gas pump and the office

and walked up the hill to home. Over the next fewdays, I watched their comings and goings. The Huntercaptain rode his bicycle uptown. The Islander ownerwaited anxiously each day for UPS to deliver a newpart. I decided that some situations have a way ofworking themselves out, and that maybe it was prov-idence or good karma that drew these two southboundsailors together at our place. Who knows? Maybe the bigger boat would watch out

for the smaller one as they both scurried south alongthe New England coast, running away from the en-croaching cold and wind and November rain. At leastI hoped that’s what would happen. Within a few days,they were both gone on a favorable morning tide. Our slight contribution to furthering their dreams

had been a few nights’ free dockage. It seemed like theleast we could do. When I awoke and saw the fuel dockwas vacant, I silently wished them both fair winds andfollowing seas. Frequent contributor, correspondent and friend

NewsA Maine-to-Nova Scotia ferry reboot in May?

The province and thepartners in a Yarmouth,N.S.-Maine ferry venturehave a signed deal for NovaScotia-to-Maine ferry serviceto start in May. The deal iswith Singapore-based STMarine, and Quest Naviga-tion of Maine, which willform a venture called STMQuest Inc. It will operate un-der the name Nova StarCruises.Economic and Rural De-

velopment and TourismMinister Michel Samson an-nounced the agreement onTuesday, calling it an “important milestone.” The dealclarifies that ST Marine will put $3 million into theventure after the province provides its $21 million,

which is scheduled to hap-pen over seven years. Theprovince is contributing$10.5 million for startupcosts and $1.5 million ayear for marketing efforts.Other agreements still haveto be reached for the serviceto start next year, includingborder services for bothports, upgrades to theYarmouth ferry terminal,berthing agreements withthe two port authorities, andobtaining licenses and per-mits for a ferry service. Allof those are on track, said

David Oxner, executive director of the Nova ScotiaGateway Secretariat.

Service is planned from May 1 to Nov. 2. The ferry, calledNova Star, would leave Yarmouth at 9 a.m., and arrive inPortland at 5 p.m., local time.

FERRY, continued on Page 21


Samson said a key change for theprovince is being able to look at theferry service’s books. “This will in-crease accountability to Nova Sco-tians, something that I and ourgovernment place a lot of impor-tance on,” Samson said. There arealso clearer details on senior man-agers deferring part of theirsalaries if the ferry service losesmoney in a given year. The originalletter of offer said four people couldsee half their pay deferred.STM Quest plans service from

May 1 to Nov. 2, 2014. The boat,called Nova Star, would leaveYarmouth at 9 a.m., and arrive inPortland at 5 p.m., local time. Shewould leave Portland at 8 p.m., andget to Yarmouth at 7 a.m., localtime. The Yarmouth economy washit hard with the end of the previ-ous ferry service, which stoppedrunning after the previous govern-ment ended subsidies close to fouryears ago.

The replica of Ferdinand Magel-lan’s galleon, Nao Victoria, floatedaboard DYT Yacht Transport’ssemi-submersible yacht carrier,Super Servant 4, in Palma de Mal-lorca, Spain, last November. Dedi-cated to yacht transport of vessels,DYT, with offices in Newport, R.I.,is best known for its fleet of shipsthat submerge to a draft requiredto safely load and unload floatingvessels. Upon her arrival in Port Ever-

glades, Fla., in mid-December, the85-foot carrack (a 15th-centurythree- or four-masted craft de-

signed for the Atlantic) sailed to St.Augustine for the Christmas holi-day before beginning a cultural ex-hibition tour along the coast ofFlorida and up the U.S. East Coast. The original Nao Victoria,

launched in 1519, was one of fiveships in the Portuguese explorer’sSpanish expedition to discover theStrait of Magellan, the passage be-tween the Atlantic and Pacificoceans. In 1570, the original shipdisappeared without a trace duringa treacherous storm while underway from the Antilles to Seville.FMI: www.yacht-transport.com.

Agundalow is a shallow-draftedcargo barge that once was common,delivering goods to villages at theheadwaters of Gulf of Maine’srivers and estuaries. In 2002, the Gundalow Company

was formed as a nonprofit organi-zation to acquire ownership of thegundalow Captain Edward H.Adams. In 2011, Paul Rollins washired by the Gundalow Company tobuild the Piscataqua on thegrounds of Strawbery Banke.

The Piscataqua River gundalowbegan as a simple undecked barge,first appearing in the mid 1600s,poled or rowed with long sweeps(oars). From the 1700s into the1900s gundalows evolved into fullydecked flat-bottomed cargo carrierswith a cabin and lateen sail that

could be lowered to “shoot” underbridges. The sail was an “auxiliaryengine” since gundalows dependedon the tides to take them upriverand downriver on the rising andfalling tides. FMI: www.gundalow.org.

Coast Guard Cutter Bollard breaks ice on frozen Connecticut River Dec. 20The Coast Guard

Cutter Bollard wastemporarily relocatedfrom New Haven toMiddletown, Conn.,to break ice in theConnecticut River justbefore the holidays.The 65-foot harbortug services aids tonavigation andbreaks ice in LongIsland Sound and itsrivers. The Bollard –which maintains115 different aidsto navigation, themost of any 65-foot cutter in New England – is a critical ice-breaking asset in small harbors and rivers due to her shallowdraft and high maneuverability.“We repositioned CGC Bollard to Middletown so we are able

to have quick access to our aids to navigation on the Con-necticut River,” said Senior Chief Aron Brewer, Bollard’s Offi-cer in Charge, “and also to be in the best spot to conduct

icebreaking operations that keep the waterways open for com-mercial shipping activity.” Ice operations are one the CoastGuard’s eleven statutory missions. FMI: www.coastguard-news.com.

Solo sailor rescued east of Cape CodThe Coast Guard coordinated a Good Samaritan crew’s res-

cue of a sailor approximately 700 miles east of Cape Cod,Mass., at approximately 5 a.m. on Nov 5. The 1st CoastGuard District command center in Boston was notified at 8a.m. the day before about an EPIRB signal registered to the34-foot Canadian-flagged sailing vessel Easy Go.A Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, Md., HC-130 Her-

cules crew immediately took flight to locate the Easy Go. Thecommand center also contacted vessels in the area. Crewsfrom the 652-foot m/v Bishu Highway and the 751-foot m/vAthina L were able to assist. The sole sailor aboard reportedhe was uninjured, but that the boat had lost its mainsail, andhe was unable to make way. The Bishu Highway was unable torescue the sailor, but was able to stay on scene until theAthina L could assist. Weather on scene was 15- to 20-footseas with 40-knot winds.The Athina L responded to a Coast Guard Automated Mu-

tual-Assistant Vessel Rescue System (AMVER) request andmade the rescue. The sailor continued on to the Athina L’snext port of call in England. FMI: www.coastguardnews.com.

Story and photos by Rick KlepferFor Points East

For some time my wife and I have been thinkingabout taking our boat, a Transpacific Eagle 40trawler named Bittersweet, south for the winter.

Skipping a Maine winter probably wouldn’t be tootough to take, we thought. We have family all down theEastern Seaboard, and some family and friends in

Vero Beach, Fla., where I worked back in the early1970s. We made some rough calculations to see if thiswas possible, now that Kay has retired and I have cutback my business to a trickle. First, there are the financial considerations, and

then there is the physical stress of putting our boatand us through an extended trip, in which we wouldencounter a lot of unknowns and would have to keep

going once we started. We couldn’t come up with anyexcuses to not go.

PreparationWe started by preparing the boat for as much of

what we could foresee, without blowing the budget onthings that might turn out to be unnecessary. We werealso going to take a frugal ethic as our guide in outfit-

ting. To this end we had no generator, no outboard-powered dinghy, no autopilot, and limited electronicsand other “toys.” We figured that the cost of spendinga winter in Maine would go a long way toward reduc-ing the expense of the trip: no heating bills, no winter-izing the boat and storing her, and no paying forgasoline, since our car would spend the winter withfriends.

las, since it is very difficult to get a sense of where youare along the coast with just charts. In addition to these resources, we occasionally went

onto some useful websites, in particular “Active Cap-tain” and “Cruisers Net.” We did not use these sites asmuch as we thought we would, but rather used themas a cross-reference from time to time. They showmany alerts, but some are outdated, and you still haveto go through these areas anyway. While we were in New England, we set a route on

the GPS every evening for our next day’s run. Once wegot into the Intracoastal Waterway, we used the ma-genta line on both charts and GPS. The magenta line

should be taken as a guide and not gospel: Buoyagechanges, and the magenta line can’t keep up. We tookthe magenta line to the wrong side of a mark once andthat was enough. We kept track of our position on thepaper charts by cutting a small arrow out of a sticky-pad and moving it at each navigation mark passed.

Fuel consumptionOur trip, from Damariscotta, Maine, to Vero Beach,

we used the Intracoastal and did not go outside or atnight, with the exception of New Jersey. Our total fuel consumption was just about 830 gal-

lons of diesel. This works out to around 3.4 gallons perhour. The cost of fuel varied widely, the lowest being$3.80 in Coinjock, N.C. Our total fuel cost for the tripdown was $3,300. We saw fuel prices as high as $5.25,but passed on these. We could have gotten down on onemiddle-of-trip refueling, but we decided that we didn’twant to run the tanks too low, particularly when roughweather was stirring the contents of our tanks. Havinga big range in fuel allowed us to shop around to somedegree.

Dockage and pump-outAlthough we prefer to anchor out at night, and did

so most of the time, we did spend about one third ofthe nights at a dock of some sort. The cost of transient

docking varies a lot – as high as $2.50 per foot pernight, down to the undisputed champ at Darien, Ga.,where the dockage was free and so was water andpower for 48 hours. The dockmaster there told us thatif we mentioned that we had engine trouble, we couldstay indefinitely. One of the reasons to come into a marina for a

night or two is to get out into a new town and seewhat it has to offer. Most marinas are right in thebest part of town, and you can have a lot of fun pok-ing around. Another reason to go to a marina is topump out the holding tank. Our tank is only 24 gal-lons, so we had a lot of pump-outs. The rates for thisservice varied as well, and one could often go onlineto see where the pump-outs were and what their re-spective costs. Our costs on this ranged from free toover $16. The most usual cost was $5; we saw somefor $30.

Commercial and military vessels present a double-edged sword for cruisers: They are fascinating to observe, but stayingclear of them can consume time. Here’s a Trident submarine and, in intense Hampton Roads, the carrier Intrepid.

puter. With a little jockeying, wecan use a printer or something elseoff the same two outlets. If we lay on the hook for only one

night each time, we can run on in-definitely as far as house powergoes. I did unintentionally leavethe house and starting batteries inparallel for 24 hours. This did gainus a little more time for houseuses, but it was not worth the riskof waking up and finding that theengine would not have sufficientpower to start.

Internet and phoneThe portable broadband device

was a Verizon Jet Pack – a routerfor a wireless Internet connection –which provided high-quality serviceat virtually every point on the trip.There were perhaps two nightswhen we were not able to get a sig-nal. For telephone, we used cellphones while we were moving andVerizon Home Phone Connectwhenever we were connected toshore power. We had this set up so that the

Home Phone Connect would takemessages while we were under way,and we could retrieve these whenwe got onto shore power, but whilewe were on shore power, our phoneitself would take the messages di-rectly. The additional advantage tothis is that we had our home num-ber with us always, and we didn’thave to get anyone to rememberwhich number to call.

Snail-mailFor mail, we used a mail-forward-

ing service, St. Brendan’s Isle,which takes our mail, and sends usan image of each piece by email, af-ter which we can decide if we wantthem to scan the contents, shredthe contents, or send the contentsto any address we choose. This waywe can react to our mail in scannedform on our computer, seldom need-ing them to send anything to us.

Watch systemThe actual daily business of the


trip was pretty straightforward: Wekept two-hour watches at the helm,two-hour watches as navigator, andtwo hours off (this for a crew ofthree). This pattern was repeatedfor as long as needed for the hoursthat we ran each day. We ran pri-marily daylight hours, which di-minished as we progressed since itwas fall and the days began gettingshorter. Invariably, I would take the first

helm watch of the day since itwould either entail getting off theanchor or getting off the dock. Ifconditions were dodgy, I might runpast my two hours. I would alsotake the last leg of each day so thatI could place the boat at anchor ordock such that we would have areasonable expectation of a goodnight’s sleep (not always possible). Each day had its challenges,

which ranged from pot buoys (lob-ster) in New England to pot buoys(crab) in the rest of the states;bridges, locks, thin water, confusingor conflicting navigational aids;weather, and so on. We were neverbored.

Where the time goesMany things affect the length of

the trip in time. Currents andtiderips can slow your advance-ment to a few knots. A sizableamount of time is spent waiting forbridges or locks to open. Head seascan also slow your whole day downas well as wear you out physically.The ICW runs out into some ex-posed bays and sounds, and we ex-perienced conditions that were atthe limit of what I would continuegoing in, if given the choice. Therewere a number of days storm-bound, when weather was not con-ducive to moving, when evengetting off the anchor would be atest of seamanship. Innumerable no-wake zones

bring your speed down to an idle –sometimes for hours. Unexpectedhours are spent running off-courseto find a good anchorage or a freedock. Time is expended in trying to

Dolphins were our constant companions, joining us in Moorehead City, and stayingwith us for the rest of the trip, leaping out of the water and playing in our wake.

Weatherly adj. Able to sail close to the wind with lit-tle drift to leeward.

There was a time when a sailboat was expectedto be weatherly in all conditions. More recently,this quality has tended to take a back seat to

other considerations, such as maximizing space belowand avoiding the need for headsail changes. The resultis that many modern sailboats are not very weatherly,

and neither are their skippers.Many sailboat owners these days don’t even bother

to sail to windward, especially not when the wind isstiff. Instead, many just use their engines to powerinto it. This is unfortunate because sailing to wind-ward in a fresh breeze is one of the greatest pleasuresour sailboats can offer us. To enjoy this, though, weneed to have a boat that can do it well.Some of the factors that can make a boat less weath-

erly are beyond our ability to modify. Some boats mayhave inadequate lateral resistance from a broad flatbottom and a too-small keel. Another common handi-

Having roller-furling gear was a finething over the years, but I am now con-vinced that if there is going to be justone headsail on it, for efficiency andpleasure, it should be a working jib.

cap is the excess windage that comes from raising free-board to maximize space below. The extra windage isnot a big problem when reaching or running, or evenwhen going to windward in light winds under full sail,but it can be a huge handicapwhen beating into a stiff breezeunder reduced sail. The biggest factor that can

make our boats less weatherly,though, is one that is entirelywithin our control. This is thefashion that has evolved overthe last 20 years or so of fittingour sloops and yawls with largegenoa jibs on roller-furlinggear. Before roller-furlers became

the norm, sailors typically car-ried two or three jibs – a work-ing jib and a genoa or two – sothey were ready to set the rightsail for the conditions. With a

furler, it is theoretically possible to change headsails,but as a practical matter, this is difficult and rarelydone. The norm now is to carry a fairly big genoa onthe furler and, when the wind increases, to reef it by

rolling it up part way. Unfortunately, even with the

best efforts of sailmakers tomake it work, the partiallyrolled-up genoa is no substitutefor a proper working jib. Thereare two reasons for this. One isthat the airfoil curve of thegenoa is spoiled when it is par-tially rolled up. Sailmakerssometimes insert foam to try tosolve this problem, but the re-sults are never ideal. The otherproblem is simple geometry,and is beyond any remediation.When going to windward, along leading edge (i.e., high-as-pect ratio) is extremely impor-

weatherly Bill Tripp design that is now 50 years old.When I bought Teal five years ago, I felt very luckythat she came with a new roller-furler and a beautifulnew genoa. My experience with this rig, however, iswhat led me to the conclusion I am offering here. I love the roller-furling feature, and the big genoa

was a joy in those 10-knot winds that we all love, butas the wind increased, the genoa became overpoweringand unwieldy. On a reach, I could roll it up partwayand try to ignore the ugly shape it became, but goingto windward, I sadly missed having a way to set aproper working jib.Teal did have an older working jib that was still in

good condition, but it was set up with hanks for aforestay, not for roller-furling. Three years ago, frus-trated with the genoa, I took that old working jib toDoug Pope, of Pope Sails & Rigging in Rockland,Maine, my local sailmaker, and asked him to replace

the hanks with the proper tape for my furling gear.That spring, I set the working jib on my furler and leftthe genoa home. The working jib has stayed on thefurler, and the genoa has stayed in my attic ever since. Of course, as with just about every decision we

make, there is a trade-off. There are occasions when Imiss that beautiful genoa, but, overall, I much preferthe working jib. To make an objective analysis of the trade-offs in-

volved, let’s review the simple physics. There are manyvariations, but for rough numbers (and this is very

close to the case on Teal), we can take the sail area ofthe roller-furling genoa as roughly 130 percent of themainsail area, and the working jib as 75 percent thatof the main. This means that the total sail area withthe working jib is about three-quarters of the total sailarea with the genoa. It is fair to assume, as long as theboat is not heeled too much by the greater sail area,that the amount of power available to drive the boatis proportional to the sail area.In very light winds, when boat speeds are in the one-

to three-knot range (i.e., less than half the hull speed),

boat speed will be almost propor-tional to the power generated bythe sails. So if I could be going attwo and a half knots with mygenoa, with my working jib I willbe going at about two knots. As soon as there is a little more

wind, however, increases in boatspeed are by no means directlyproportional to the power gener-ated by the sails. As we get up toabout two-thirds of hull speed, theproportion of increase in speed toincrease in power falls well under50 percent, and gets less and lessas hull speed is approached. More-over, excessive heeling has a strongnegative effect on performance, es-pecially to windward.Because of this radically de-

creasing utility of moderate in-creases in power as boat speedincreases – even in moderatewinds when the genoa can still becarried reasonably comfortably –the loss in boat speed with theworking jib becomes marginal. Asthe wind increases further and thegenoa begins to overpower theboat, the diminishing returns willturn negative. Even on a reach, the boat will

sail faster on a more even keel, andto windward the working jib be-comes the clear winner. This istrue even before it becomes neces-sary to reef the genoa. After thatpoint, especially going to wind-ward, there is simply no compari-son.Overall, I am able to get where I

am going faster with my workingjib on my furler than with thegenoa. Speed is not the only thing,

Even on a reach, theboat will sail fasteron a more even keel,and to windward theworking jib becomesthe clear winner.


though. If getting there in ahurry were the only thing thatmattered to us, we wouldn’t besailing, would we? We like thefeeling of sailing. For my taste,that feeling is much betterwhen the boat is not overpow-ered and not heeling exces-sively, when the helm is light,when tacking the jib is easyand the strains on arms andwinches is not excessive, whenI am in control and the boat isresponding handily, and whenI can see ahead withoutstretching my head over therail or sending someone for-ward to look around that hugeblanket of a genoa.Most pleasurable of all is sailing smartly to wind-

ward against a brisk wind and chop. Full of the powerof the wind, the proper sails not only drive the boateasily through the waves, but give it a solid steady mo-tion that puts motoring to shame. For my six-year-oldson, my regular companion, this point of sail is a clearfavorite. He will sit on the lee rail with his legs overthe side and shout with pleasure every time the wavessplash over his feet. When he tires of that, he will

climb below into the V-berthand fall asleep to the delightfulmotion and the whooshingsound of the waves against thebow.The genoa is very little

missed. Off the wind in lightairs, we can set the spinnakerand ghost along in colorfulsplendor. When the wind isvery light, it is even possible tocarry the spinnaker on a closereach. Hard on the wind, evenin very light air, the workingjib does remarkably well. Having the roller-furler has

been a fine thing, but I am nowconvinced that if there is goingto be just one headsail on it, a

working jib is the one to have.

In 1986, Dodge Morgan became the firstAmerican to sail nonstop around theworld. When he returned to the Bermudaport from which he’d left 150 days earlier,he and his Ted Hood-designed cruiser,American Promise, had nearly halved theprevious westabout record. Though French sailors in the Vendée

Globe shattered this record only a fewyears later, Morgan’s original accomplish-ment – which was a personal challenge,and not part of an organized race – stillresonates. After reading Morgan’s “TheVoyage of American Promise,” and watch-ing “Around Alone,” an hour-long film

Paris and Kiwi Spirit abandon;Dodge Morgan’s record standsEditors’ Note:On Jan. 11, right before this issue of Points East went

to press, we got the surprising news that Stanley Paris, who was tryingto become the world’s oldest nonstop solo circumnavigator, had aban-doned his quest. While our first thought was to pull the story below andrun something else, with a brief summary of his decision to quit, wecouldn’t shake the feeling that somehow things just weren’t adding up. Paris’ blog posts, which he filed every few days, were breezy and opti-

mistic. Up until the point he actually pulled the plug, approximately1,700 miles west of Cape Town, it seemed as though the greatest chal-lenge he faced was a lack of wind. His mission was well-funded, and hisboat fast and new. The contrast between what should have been and is-n’t, we decided, is too intriguing to dismiss offhandedly as just another

It’s never too early to start planning next summer’s rac-ing schedule. Especially with two of 2014’s premier Rolexevents – both hosted by the New York Yacht Club (NYYC)– adding some extra heat to Newport, R.I.’s renownedsummer sailing season.First up is the 160th NYYC Annual Regatta, scheduled

for June 13-15. The oldest continually running regatta inthe country knocked it out of the park last June with arecord 154 entries. This year’s edition may rewrite thatrecord, as it will serve as the first of three competitions tocount in the venerable Onion Patch Series (celebrating its50th anniversary), of which the Newport Bermuda Race,directly following, is the second.

The next event of the double bill is the NYYC Race Weekat Newport, presented by Rolex, which takes place July12-19. Classics and Meter-boat racing will kick off thecompetition on Saturday and Sunday, July 12-13, whileHPR, IRC, PHRF and one-design racing will follow onWednesday through Saturday, July 16-19 (with practiceraces scheduled for Tuesday, July 15). Race Week’s latter half will feature a variety of course

configurations, including near-shore “stadium racing;” off-shore courses with inshore finishes off Fort Adams; tradi-tional windward-leeward courses; and a middle-distancerace, which will count toward the overall standings. It also

will serve as the inaugural HPR International Champi-onship, the Club Swan 42 National Championship and theJ/109 North American Championship. The event con-cludes with the Rolex Gala Banquet and awards ceremonyat Harbour Court on Saturday, July 19, providing every-one with a chance to celebrate the week of sailing in style,applaud the winners, and head home at their leisure onSunday.For more information or to coordinate a class champi-

failed circumnavigation. For more on Paris’ decision toabandon, and the reasons cited, see below.

By Bob MugglestonFor Points East

We forget just how hard it is. It isn’t enough to circum-navigate nonstop and solo anymore, and survive. Lots ofpeople have already done that. In 2014, you have to some-how tweak the equation, maybe go the “wrong way,” or bethe youngest, or, in the case of Stanley Paris, shoot for twoquite noble milestones – as both the oldest and “greenest.”When Stanley Paris left St. Augustine, Fla., bound for

his starting line in Bermuda, there were so many feel-goodstories surrounding his mission that it was hard to focuson just one. There was his age, of course, and he was goingto do it with hot showers, hot meals and other civilizedamenities. And all of these luxuries would be generatedwith green power aboard a hard-charging 63-footer namedKiwi Spirit that Paris himself helped design.Also, there was the Dodge Morgan factor. Former Points

East columnist Morgan was the one who inspired Paris,and Paris took it upon himself (in the spirit of a gentle-manly wager) to best Morgan’s 150-day record, set in 1986.For many people, myself included, that was the hook.For over a month, Paris’ focus seemed primarily on that

of matching, or exceeding, Morgan’s daily mileage. So

many of the blog posts were concerned with the relativelack of wind compared to what Morgan experienced. Stuffbroke, but that was to be expected. One of the first thingshe mentioned was a piece of hardware that let go on theend of the boom, which resulted in Paris getting hit in theback with a flying block. He also mentioned a fall, in whichhe might have broken some ribs. A game-ender for somepeople, Paris seemed to downplay it, instead focusing onenergy management.And then this blog heading, on Jan. 11: “Circumnaviga-

tion Abandoned – Heading to Cape Town.”In the post, he cites both the president of Farr Yacht De-

sign (the designers of Kiwi Spirit) and Cabot Lyman, theowner of Lyman Morse, who built the boat. Both menagreed that Paris should abandon his quest, based on thefailure of “many systems” aboard KiwiSpirit. Things men-tioned by name were the boom end and the reefing system(Paris had sent them both pictures), but this raises a big-ger question: What else broke? Reefing systems and boomends are things you might expect to jury rig. What are wenot being told?It’s a bit disheartening how this has all gone down. We

all really wanted him to succeed. But just wanting some-thing badly in this life is never enough, especially whenwhat you want involves the sea. The sea is still a great lev-eler. Given this universal truth, today, 28 years later,Dodge Morgan’s accomplishment seems that muchsweeter.

about Morgan’s trip, Dr. Stanley Paris, a New Zealan-der living in St. Augustine, Florida, realized he’d foundhis calling: He, too, would circumnavigate alone andnonstop, following Morgan’s “footsteps” whenever pos-sible. Aboard his high-tech 63-footer, Kiwi Spirit – de-

signed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding in Thomaston, Maine – the76-year-old Paris is trying to “beat” Dodge Morganaround the globe, and, in doing so, become the oldestsailor to ever complete a nonstop solo navigation. Twenty-eight years have passed since Morgan set

his record, and, in that time, much has changed in theworld of technology. Besides using a wide variety of de-vices to create green energy (to power myriad creaturecomforts aboard), Paris is taking advantage of the abil-ity to speak, relatively easily, with the rest of the worldwhile under way. Dodge Morgan never had a blog.Stanley Paris does (http://stanleyparis.com/?cat=2).The following excerpts, shortened and lightly editedfor the sake of space and clarity, are from StanleyParis’ blog.

Dec. 9, 2013:Game on – Start of record attempt. OnSaturday, Dec. 7, at 1415 Zulu (international timebased on Greenwich, England, and also known as

GMT and UTC), or 9:15 a.m. back home in St. Augus-tine, I crossed the line 0.8 nm due east of St. David’sLighthouse to begin my challenge on the 150-day, six-hour record, as well as to become the oldest and thefirst-ever green [nonstop solo circumnavigator]. Bermuda Radio tracked the start, and the “black

box” issued by the World Sailing Speed Record Councilwas also monitoring. In addition, I forced an update onmy Yellowbrick [tracking device], which can be seen onmy website [www.stanleyparis.com]. Yes, I was a littleemotional, but it soon passed, and I got on with chang-ing my course to bear away from a group of coral reefsthat were fast approaching. The start was as Dodge Morgan, the record holder,

set it, one mile from the lighthouse. However, I notedonly this morning that, on his return, he was threemiles offshore when he re-crossed the line to finish. Ishall follow suit, especially should I come in at night. I see that the winds for the next few days will be

light, and so I expect to fall behind Dodge Morgan’s av-erage of 171.84 miles a day. Tomorrow, I will get out aspinnaker and see if I can go faster. But, for now, I amenjoying the moment. Four years of planning and ex-ecution . . . it’s game on.

Dec. 15 – Plenty of wind and power. At long last Iam getting good winds and have begun to head south-east. This morning the wind has been from the south-

southwest at between 17 and 23 knots. Seas are heavy.I reduced the sails from big genoa to jib and took thefirst of three possible reefs in the main. Did not loseany speed, but boat sailed more upright and muchmore comfortable, proving I had been overpowered. From noon yesterday to noon today, I have covered

252 miles – a record for the trip thus far. Dodge’s bestwas 225 on the entire voyage. After a slow start I amclosing on him.Talking of power, I now have the batteries at 93.5

percent charge, and with winds good for at least thenext 24 hours, I can start to do some things with thepower that I have been putting on hold. This includes:making water with the osmosis watermaker and fill-ing the tanks; turning on the hot-water heater; wash-ing the dishes in hot, soapy water; changing andwashing clothes; washing myself in the shower; bakingmuffins, making bread and having pancakes withmaple syrup; rejoicing: Life is good.

Dec. 18 – Day 10 summary. I got off to a slow startwith a weak weather system gaining only 105, 104 and122 miles on the first three days, whereas Dodge hadrecorded 175, 175 and 184. He was clearly ahead. But,in the last three days, I have recorded 212, 217 and236 miles, whereas Dodge did 190, 173, and 123. Plot-ting our respective positions on the chart, I am a littleto the north of him and 180 miles east, thus a day

ahead given he averaged 171.8 miles a day.Boat and crew holding up well in this close reach

(into the wind). Waves 10 to 15 feet, sustained windsof 28 to 32 knots, and gusts to 35. It’s a rough ride. Nosigns of mutiny as of yet, but we are still in the earlydays. Any such signs, and they will wish they were onthe Bounty with Captain Bligh!

Dec 26– Accidental jibe. I was below and up forwardwhen I suddenly became aware that the wind waspicking up and we were changing course. As I startedback to the cockpit to get to the controls and helm, Irealized a squall had hit with intense winds. The boatheeled over to at least 45 degrees, instead of its usual20 degrees. By this time, I was amidship in the galleyand struggling with the boat’s speed and angle. Getting to the cockpit, I saw the wind in the squall

had hit 35 knots, the rain was pelting down, and theautopilot was beeping, indicating it had lost control.As I got to the helm to take over, the boat jibed. I wastoo late. The boat spun onto a new course. The wind backed

the main and the boom came crashing over. As it didso, the strap that holds the sheets that control themain sail gave way. The detached block became a mis-sile and struck me on my right, lower back with suchforce that my knees buckled. The boom now swungwildly and with great force, slamming up against the

shrouds. I regained control of the helm and steered acalmer course while plotting what to do next. Over the next two hours, I managed, via the preven-

ter at the end of the boom, to bring the boom back,reattach the sheets, and then get back on course. Theonly other collateral damage is that one of the battensbroke when it hit the shrouds and slid out of its pocketinto the sea.The above is the reason why I have not yet slept in

my cot berth belowdecks. Because of the frequency ofsqualls, as many as a dozen a day in this inter-tropicalconvergence zone off the north coast of Brazil, I havechosen instead to sleep in the cockpit, just six feet fromthe helm.

Dec. 31 – If you have been following my track onYellowbrick, you will see that I have rounded Brazilinstead of going towards South Africa. I am going duesouth and, soon, even a little west, yet my destinationis to the east . . . so what gives? Well, I am being routedaround a large South Atlantic high-pressure zone inwhich there is little to no wind. Dodge Morgan thusfar had better wind, both in the Caribbean and nowthe South Atlantic, and was able to run a more directcourse to his target. So Dodge once again had the ad-vantage, but we have only just begun with 4,500 milesdown and some 22,000 miles to go.

Sailboat racing on New Year’s Day is a Boston Har-bor tradition for a handful of hardy souls who bravethe elements in order to “kick off” the new racing sea-son. The Jack Roberts Memorial Race, which is heldon first day of every year, and organized by the Con-stitution Yacht Club, has been run annually since the1980s. Winter-time racing in New England is alwaysa roll of the dice, but this year’s edition featured blueskies, 10 knots of breeze, and temperatures that hov-ered right around the freezing mark.A total of eight boats registered, and seven finished

(one boat didn’t make it to the start because of equip-ment failure). Wade Edwards, director of Boston SailingCenter (BSC), won with his J/24, Isis. He beat threeother J/24s from BSC, and a handful of boats from Con-stitution Yacht Club and Wessagusett Yacht Club, in-cluding Jonathan Green’s Beneteau 351, Jeroboam,Allan Maclean’s Frers 38, Eagle, and Howie Speicher’sCatalina 27, Pegasus. Sailors will recognize JonathanGreen from last year’s OSTAR, which he won.The five-and-a-half-mile-race, which featured a pur-

suit start, was from the starting line off Pier Six, inCharlestown, to Red 12 off the airport, Green 13 off

the Fish Pier, back to Red 12, and home.A quick Internet search revealed a few New Year’s

Day races elsewhere in the world. Usually, they are inplaces like Tampa, Antigua or San Diego. Boston Har-bor might just be the Northeast’s hotbed of winter rac-ing. FMI: www.cycboston.org.

Boat Show, in Providence, R.I., was purchased by theRhode Island Marine Trades Association (RIMTA) thispast fall, and show organizers have brought a freshperspective and new ideas to this three-day event. Thisyear’s show will include a stronger sailing component,expanded seminar offerings, and a mix of specialevents and exhibitors that reflects the boating diver-sity found in Ocean State waters. New this year is a special H20 Zone that will show-

case a fleet of small watercraft for all levels, along with

experts and accompanying video. A joint effort of ZimSailing and community-sailing organizations SailNewport and the Community Boating Center of Prov-idence, this zone is the main hub for learning aboutthe different ways you can get out on the water – inwhatever way suits your skill-level or style. The fleetwill range from a simple Blue Dragon Pram to the oth-erworldly Moth, the single-handed hydrofoil consid-ered the fastest dinghy on the planet. A new Show Pavilion will be destination central for

interactive activities and appearances of the sport’stop personalities. Visitors to the Pavilion can try their

Hunt Yachts, in Portsmouth, R.I., has introduced theHunt Harrier 25 Sport, designed, they say, “for maximumperformance and fun and minimum maintenance.” “Westrategically designed the Hunt Harrier 25 Sport to pro-vide an exceptional quality, no-frills value,” said Huntpresident Peter VanLancker, delivering what all boatersneed for a day on the water, and nothing they don’t.” The Hunt 25 Sport’s rough-water-bred hull has essen-

tially the same lines as other boats in the Harrier series,the builder says. “In the open ocean, it will leave the av-erage 35-footer in its wake, in comfort and safety, openingup cruising horizons while extending the boating sea-son.” All-composite construction and thoughtful engi-neering, Hunt says, create a high-integrity hull and deck

structure of great strength at moderate weight. Volvosterndrive power, from 320 to 430 horsepower, is avail-able. Hunt feels that the 25 Sport will be a versatile boat,

applicable to use as a tender, sportfisherman, chase boat,ski and wakeboarding boat, day cruiser, and dive-supportplatform. And its cuddy cabin has a berth and head, mak-ing overnighters eminently possible. Wraparound cockpitseating blends with a 1960s Porsche 911-inspired wind-shield and upholstered dash, on which a stereo andGarmin chartplotter are standard. A cockpit entertain-ment system includes an entertainment console withsink, refrigerator/freezer and trash can. FMI: www.huntyachts.com.

America’s Cup sailor RomeKirby of the winning Oracle Team USA crew will alsobe visiting the show on opening day. Two expanded series of free seminars will be offered

– with one series focused on Navigation & Seaman-ship, and a second focused on Sportfishing. Captain John Martino, founder of the Annapolis

School of Seamanship, has coordinated the Navigation& Seamanship series in conjunction with Rhode Islandoutfits Confident Captain, Safe/Sea, and CaptainFrank “Skip” Litterer of Boatwise Marine Training.Among the topics covered will be cruise planning alongthe Rhode Island coast, the basics of weather, dockingand maneuvering techniques, line handling, and a ses-sion on iNavigation, where you will learn how to mixtraditional navigation skills with the latest apps fortablets and phones.Organized by Capt. Jack Sprengel, of East Coast

Charters, the sportfishing seminars are for “hardcoreanglers and newbies alike,” says Sprengel, coveringspecies that range from fish you can catch from theshore in Rhode Island to those caught out past the con-tinental shelf. This year’s fishing series includes anemphasis on sea-to-table, with leading chefs such asexecutive chef John Kolesar of Ocean House in WatchHill and Phyllis Affra of Blaze Restaurant in Provi-dence; showgoers will learn how to handle, cut, and

prepare their catch, and the chefs will transform itinto a delectable dish. The Providence show is designed to be an event

where boaters can broaden their horizons. Inshore rac-ers lured by the mystique of round-the-world racingcan learn about next year’s Volvo Ocean Race stopoverin Newport, and even sign up as a volunteer. Sailorsintrigued by surfing can take a spin on a SurfSetboard, a total-body surf trainer designed to simulatethe physical demands of surfing without the ocean.Young mariners can learn about career and trainingopportunities in the industry and watch high school-aged boatbuilders craft a canoe onsite. And boaters who are considering Rhode Island as

their new boating home can do their homework onmarinas and winter storage options; the Ocean Statehas a no-sales-tax policy on boats that are deliveredand registered in the state, as well as on boating ser-vices such as mooring and slip fees, winter storage,and refit and repair work.

Maine Boatbuilders ShowGathering of the clan at Boatbuilders Show March 14-16: Just before the vernal equinox ar-

rives, so does the annual Maine Boatbuilders Show. It’sa rite of spring, a combined social and business eventthat this year takes place for the 27th time March 14-16 at Portland Yacht Services. "It is more than a boatshow,” said boatbuilder Dick Pulsifer after an earlyshow. “It’s a gathering of builders and customers. Youcould spend time with colleagues or customers. We alllearn something."Portland Yacht cleans out it’s vast indoor shop -- a

former locomotive foundry on Fore Street -- to makeroom for some 1,800 exhibitors and some 8,000 visitorswho mosey around, ask questions, browse, schmoozewith like-minded mariners, and perhaps even plunkdown some money for an anchor, a dinghy, a diesel en-gine, a prop, or even a sail-away or trailer-away boat.Phineas Sprague, Portland Yacht Services owner and

show organizer, likes to call the three-day event “ameeting of the clan.” He says he enjoys walking aroundtalking to knowledgeable people as much as anyoneelse at the show, and there is always something new tolearn. “What’s new? It could be a variable-pitch feath-ering propeller.”Exhibitors come from as far away as Seattle, Wash.,

and as nearby as the city itself. Some are one-personboatbuilding shops in the backyard; some are indus-trial giants selling marine products. Some are nonprof-its such as the Compass Project, the Maine IslandTrail Association, Island Institute, and American SailTraining Association. The organizers like to say thatthe Maine Boatbuilders Show is a gathering of thefinest fiberglass and wooden custom boat builders onthe East Coast -- sailboats, powerboats, canoes, kayaksand rowing boats, and the builders will be there to dis-cuss and sell their work.The show times for the 2014 Maine Boatbuilders

Show are: Friday, March 14, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; SaturdayMarch 15, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sunday March 16, 10 a.m.-4p.m. FMI: www.portlandcompany.com/boatshow.

Edson Interna-tional, in New Bed-ford, Mass., has builtone of the largestquadrants in theirmodern history forRoyal Huisman, theVollenhove, Holland,yacht builder. Thisquadrant, which car-ries a Lloyd’s certifi-cation, has a radius ofover 51 inches and in-cludes a bore to fit a17-inch diameter sleeve on a carbon rudderpost. Ed-son’s multi-speed mechanical steering system for thisyacht directs the helmsman’s touch of the wheelthrough a gearbox with an integral wheel clutch, andthen to the quadrant through a chain and wire ar-rangement. The gearbox allows the helmsman to ad-just the steering wheel sensitivity and power to theconditions at hand, and clutch out the wheels whenthe autopilot is in use. Edson’s system places supersensitive bearings throughout the arrangement, giv-ing the helmsman “feel” in the wheel. FMI: www.ed-sonmarine.com.

Front Street Shipyard, in Belfast, Maine, reports that itscrew “has been able to really flex our composite muscles onSlim, a 66-foot Gunboat that’s getting a new set of foils.”The daggerboards are carbon skins over an internal carbonstructure that adds strength and durability. Front Street hasworked closely with Morelli & Melvin on the design of the newfoils, which are built almost entirely of carbon pre-preg for anexceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The wet-bagging of theup/down system for the daggerboards was completed inNovember, and the daggerboards were pulled from theirmolds and fitted to the hull. Sea trials were conducted in De-cember. In other news, Front Street was named Boatyard ofthe Year by American Boat Builders & Repairers Association.FMI: www.frontstreetshipyard.com.

GMT Composites, of Bristol, R.I., has crafted a lightweightrudder for the classic C&C 40 Zoomer, currently undergoing asignificant refit. The original rudder came to GMT weighing203 pounds due to a combination of the heavy stainlesspost, fiberglass laminate and internal supports. The new rud-der, at 53 pounds, represents a 74 percent weight reduction.Not only is it lighter, but it’s also thinner, the foil thicknessreduced by over 20 percent to reduce drag.

Conny van Rietschoten87, Rotterdam, HollandHolland’s most fa-

mous sailboat racerdied Dec. 17. He wonthe Whitbread Roundthe World Race, notonce but twice, in 1978 and 1982with boats named Flyer. He and hiscrew so dominated the second racewith their 76-foot Frers-designedmaxi, that they captured both lineand handicap honors. In doing so,the Dutchman and his crew alsoset two world records: the longestnoon-to-noon run of 327 miles, andthe fastest circumnavigation of 120days.Conny was introduced to sailing

at the age of 3, joining his father,Jan Jacob, racing aboard the fam-ily’s 12-meter Copeja. At 45, retiredfrom active business and lookingfor fresh challenges, he saw thefirst Whitbread Race as his oppor-

tunity. The first Flyer was a mod-ern version of the Swan 65 produc-tion yacht Sayula II. The new Flyerwas also 65 feet and ketch-riggedlike Sayula, but had a longer wa-terline and more sail area. At the height of this competition,

Conny displayed the steely side ofhis character. He suffered a heartattack and swore his crew to se-crecy, even though a nearby boat,Ceramco, had a cardiologist in hercrew. “The critical period after aheart attack is always the first 24-36 hours, and the nearest port (Fre-mantle, Australia) was 10 daysaway,” Conny recounted later. “Ce-ramcowas already breathing downour necks. If they had known thatI had a health problem, they wouldhave pushed their boat evenharder. When you die at sea, youare buried over the side. If thathappened, the Ceramco boys mightthen have spotted me drifting by…and that, I was determined wouldbe the only thing they would see orhear from Flyer on the matter.”

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

Hunkered DownConfined to the cabin by the press of weather, Leigh keeps watch on the Mud Hole.

It was a shivery, drizzly, fog-drenched morning in theGrand Manan Channel – one that our fleece, flan-nel, ski hat and rain gear didn’t address adequately.

Making for Great Wass Island in easterly weather, wehunched our shoulders and withdrew into our layers,conversation ebbing away to occasional cryptic ex-changes. There seemed little prospect of finding comfort in the

day when, at length we skulked into the Mud Hole, andanchored in its teacup of a tide pool. Vapors rose fromour breath while we furled sail. My fingers were cold,clumsy and shaking as I set the cabin heater andlantern alight. Holding my hands close to the lampglobe, as though I were praying, it offered an unsatisfy-ing impression of warmth. The quiet was pregnant, butfor the fluttering flag and squalling of a gull as itwinged past. Digging out a sweater from the pile of clothes at the

foot of my bunk, it took a while to let go of the knot of

tension in my back. Dialing up CBC, Saint John, therewas solace to the amiable chatter of a gardening show.Soon a pot of soup was bubbling away on the stove, theheater was doing its duty, and the cabin slowly came topossess a rustic civility that seemed all the sweeter forthe press of weather.Though intending to rest our eyes for only a few min-

utes when we stretched out on our bunks after lunch,the better part of an hour passed in dreamy billows. Ris-ing to find the sky as dull as dishwater, our attentionwas drawn to the sight of a sloop circling about to star-board, doing its nesting dance. A subject of no little in-terest, the mate got the binoculars out and watchedfrom under the dodger, keeping up a running commen-tary, noting the ample size of their gear and chain rodeand grasp of spacing. Leigh waved. They waved. Wekept our distance, there being an inward turning tosuch days. Lost in the pages of William Least Heat Moon’s mem-

oir, “Here, There & Elsewhere,” Icame to see that he, too, sometimesfound it hard to make much of hisadventures in the heat of them. Ittook me a few moments to becomeaware of Leigh’s whispered call,“David, David, come see this.” Joining her under the dodger, we

watched an eagle and osprey tum-bling through the air in a dogfightof sorts. The agile osprey, its wing-tip feathers spread out like fingers,cut tight arcs through the mists, hisadversary spreading its greatwings full width to put the brakeson and change direction. We couldhear the wind in their wings, ad-mired the osprey’s cheek and theeagles tireless pressing of thegame, which, after a time, theybroke off without blood beingdrawn. The mists waxed and waned, and

foggy dewdrops trembled in the rig-ging and plashed down on the cabintop in an irregular cadence. Wipingcondensation from the window, Isaw that a pair of guillemots werestill keeping watch a few yardsaway; I imagined they were at-tracted to the lyrical plaint of aLoreena Mckennitt CD. There’ssomething about the aching woe ofCeltic music that seemed a perfectsoundtrack for the drama of such aday. The mate pressed for a game of

rummy, but couldn’t resist the un-likely possibilities of the discardpile. I won the game and a foot-rubprize, though I ended up giving herone, too, she being pitifully needy inher loss. Darkness came early. Awine cork popped. I couldn’t imag-ine any place more civil than theLeight’s snug little cabin. As Thoreau wrote, “To affect the

quality of the day, that is the high-est of arts.” David Buckman’s book, “Bucking

yacht Chauve Souris for Nova Scotia Marine Enter-prise Co. in 1925. She was an Alden-designed 68-footauxiliary schooner registered at Halifax, Nova Scotia.Looking through this Register is definitely a step

back in time. Some of the Maine boatyards mentionedare still producing fine yachts. Others have long beenout of business. But this listing piques one’s curiosity.Wouldn’t it be interesting to find out how many – ifany – of these Maine-built vessels are still floating? Ifreaders can provide additional histories for any of theboats mentioned in this article, please [email protected], and we’ll share the results ina future issue.Caroline Norwood is a lover of all things nautical.

She lives on Brier Island in Nova Scotia, and is the au-thor of “Life on Brier Island” and “Life on the TusketIslands.” Her articles appear regularly in the “AtlanticFisherman” and “The Navigator” magazine.

In this 1950 edition of “Lloyd’s Register,” a little hint of themagic once created by Luders Marine Construction Co., inStamford Conn., is in evidence.

Marine Museum Winter Speaker Series

and 4th of July WeekendRendezvous

First release in late summer 2003,Hurricane Rum was introduced

during the Hurricane season.This was done in honor of the

awesome storms that cause havocfrom the Keys to Nantucket.

Our rum is slightly over-proofed to match the

strength of nature's fury.

It is aged in bourbon casks imparting a wonderful golden color and distinctive whiskey flavor.

Hurricane Rum is truly small batch and difficult to find.

Ask for it wherever you buy spirits,and please enjoy with friends

in moderation.
