Welcome to Rockland and the forty-fifth annual Friendship SloopHomecoming. Come and have a good time. Help celebrate our maritime heritage.

For those cruising in Penobscot Bay before the homecoming, the Sundaynight rendezvous at Pulpit Harbor is on again. Just show up and join in the fun.After the Rockland races the traditional memorial ceremony followed byFriendship Day festivities will be held in Friendship Harbor.

This year will be special for those racing. A return to that handicap alleyrace format we used in Friendship is promised. The fleet will start and finishtogether. Expect more fun, more interaction, and a more equal chance for eachboat to take a trophy. The Race Committee has been working hard.

What keeps our society growing? Why do people keep coming to Rockland?Well, some just love the sight of Friendships. For kids it might be a family thing,but beware of the old adage, “Starvation is good for discipline”. It doesn’t holdfor a crew in Rockland.

Special thanks go to ourYearbook Editors and ViceCommodore who generouslyassumed all the work andresponsibilities of publisher thisyear.

���������������������We have all met remarkably dynamic individuals who

have had a major influence on our lives. Then, too, there arethose quietly effective people who have an even moreremarkable impact on us due to their gentle good nature andendearing simplicity. Such qualities define one of the FriendshipSociety’s most loyal and enthusiastic members, hereaffectionately and simply: Jack.

Jack is known by many and his good reputation precedes him all along theeastern coast from Connecticut to Maine. He has been involved with boatspractically all his life: working on sailing barges in his early years, model makingto this day, restoring or repairing vessels such Friendship Sloops (Tern),Muscongus Sloops, Beetle Cats and other catboats, smacks, and HerreshoffBullseyes. Jack has been an active and contributing member to many boatingassociations, notably Mystic Seaport Museum, U.S. Power Squadrons, TheCatboat Society, Noank Wooden Boat Association, Thames Yacht Club, andespecially the Friendship Sloop Society. How many people know, though, thatJack, at 91, is a brother Elk, an avid dancer with his wife Ginny with whom hestill drives around, and had worked for thirty-four years with the electric companywithout having taken a sick day??

In the mid-eighties, Jack gathered a number of Friendship owners andenthusiasts at his house to plan for a racing event during the New London Sailfestweekend. In fact, Jack brought the sails to Sailfest! What came out of the meetingwas the New London FSS Rendezvous. Still active and vibrant, although nowwith less emphasis on racing, the New London event continues to be a scheduledactivity on the Society’s calendar after twenty years. Because of Jack’s efforts tobring us together, many members from New York to Massachusetts to Mainehave become good friends and willing ambassadors for the Society. He hastouched us all and is a father figure to many of us.

It is indeed a privilege to write this year’s dedication to such a deservingperson who has inspired us all: Holt “Jack” Vibber.

Greg Roth

Bancroft AwardThis year the Bancroft award goes to Jack Vibber. It is made in memory of Winthrop

Bancroft, owner of Elicia III and an early and enthusiastic member of our Society. Theaward might also recognize an unusual voyage, the building of a sloop, a model, a poema painting - some contribution to the Friendship tradition.

Chairman, FSS Race Committee

For most of us, the end of each sailing season means that it’s time to put the boataway for winter. Once that task has been completed, we can move on to other pursuitsand interests. This is when your Race Committee rolls up its sleeves and begins gettingready for the next season. For all the years I have been involved with running races,hardly has there been one winter when the sailing instructions were not scrapped andre-written. This means that the committee must meet a minimum of four times over thewinter months — though it generally comes to more. Added to the three meetings of theFSS Executive Committee and the November annual meeting, a fair amount of time isconsumed in “getting ready”.

Additionally there is the occasional visit with folks in Rockland, such as theOfficer-in-Charge of the Coast Guard Station; the Ferry Port Captain and theHarbormaster, for the all important “How are we doing?” good-will meetings. Thankfully,these are generally done by RC member Bill Zuber, who has the advantage of being onthe local scene. Your Race Committee is highly desirous of having everyone “on thesame page” with regard to how we conduct the business of running the Society’s raceprogram at Rockland. Oh, did I forget to mention the annual filing with the Coast Guard,in late winter, for our Rockland “Marine Event”? I could never look at the skipper andcrew of the Rockland Coast Guard patrol straight-in-the-face, should I ever fail to performthat task.

Then there is the matter of equipment. No matter whether it is used only three daysout of each year, there is always something that needs attention. Trips to our storagearea in Rockland to fetch old gear for repair or to place something new there for thecoming season become routine. Forgetting what the Race Committee must do each off-season for a moment, just imagine the mountain of work that Ralph Stanley must annuallyundertake in getting “Seven Girls” ready for another season so that she can serve as ourRace Committee Boat. Not to mention the time and expense Dick Salter and BruceLanning put into keeping “Messing About” and “Chickadee” afloat and available forour benefit in Rockland.

There are times when it all seems monumental but, in the end, we are always readyfor the July races at Rockland. The only “reward” we seek is in the area of participationby the sloops, the skippers and their crew. For Class “A”, it is also anticipated that the“Rum Line” trophy will be available immediately after the finish of one of the Rocklandraces!

All this effort is undertaken in your interest. While we do not seek any appreciation,it will none-the-less be clearly evident if you show up at Rockland for the July 26-28,2005 race program. For adequate planning, we urge you to register your sloop for theraces at the earliest possible opportunity.

Finally, this is a reminder that if your handicap rating has expired, please contactDick Salter, our measurer. If you have any doubts as to the expiration date, again pleasecontact Dick.

To all, please accept your Race Committee’s best wishes for the 2005 sailing season.

���������������������������������By Waldo Burrow

I have recently learned that those of you who race at Rockland haveexperienced a considerable amount of fog. As there are some sailors that haveno idea how or why fog occurs, I thought it might be appropriate to offer a fewparagraphs in this yearbook on the subject of the various types fog. If you alreadyknow about all this, please feel free to move onto the next article. For those whoremain with me, I have placed two photographs below; the left photo was takenby me, a few years ago from my lobster boat, during a very thick morning fog.This photo must not be confused with the adjacent photo that I took from theboat during a very heavy snowfall of several winters ago.

While both photos may have similarities, the main difference between themis that the product of the right photo took backbreaking work to remove from mydriveway at home. As most us do not use our boats during the snow season, I’llrefrain from any further discourse regarding snow and will instead focus primarilyon the subject of fog.

First, let’s look at the definition of fog, which is simply “Numerous tinydroplets of water suspended in the air”. One can hardly expect to be upon Mainecoastal waters during the average summer season without experiencing fog, atleast to one degree or another. While there are several forms of fog such as“Evaporation Fog” (sea smoke – frequently observed during the winter) and“Upslope Fog” (otherwise known as “orographic lifting” and common inmountainous areas), I will focus on only the few types of fog that are prevalentto us along the New England coast. They are:

Radiation Fog: I’ve lost count of the times when I’ve stood in thecockpit of my boat during a summer evening at my mooring and could“smell” fog. This was because the warm and moist evening air wasrapidly cooling down, or radiating into the earth’s atmosphere. As thetemperature dropped, it approached something called the “Dew Point”;that is, the temperature at which moisture in the air will readily condense

Heavy snowThick morning fog

into tiny droplets suspended in the air. Radiation fog is also called“ground fog” and is generally associated with very little or no wind.Common during the warm summer months, it generally forms nearmidnight and will often be thickest around sunrise. As the sun warmsthe earth’s surface, radiation fog will generally tend to “burn off” andwill likely dissipate by late morning.

Stratus Fog: Moist air traveling over cold water can produce anextensive area of low-lying cloud, known as “stratus”. With cloud basesno higher than a few hundred feet above the surface, stratus canfrequently dip even lower and when it touches the surface due to evenfurther cooling, we call it fog. Because it can be so extensive over avery large body of cold water, this type of fog can often last for days.

Convection Fog: To a large degree, this is a variation of stratus. Severallocations in this country are famous for this type of fog, the SanFrancisco Bay area being perhaps the most prominent. Along the coastof Maine, we often experience convection fog that can last for severaldays. Lurking but a few miles off the coast, it only needs the “generator”of rising air from a warm landmass that tends to create a partial vacuum.As a result, the stratus will then be “pulled” toward the coast andeventually move several miles inland. This can frequently be enoughto engulf the affected area for several hours or even several days. Ihave every reason to believe this is what you experienced at Rocklandduring the 2003 races.

Fog is not to be feared, as long as the sailor learns how to cope with it.Proper equipment and sufficient training are necessary, however. At the veryleast, carefully adjusted compasses, radar reflectors and sound signals are “amust”. Training and experience in navigation also fall into that category. The“add-on” equipment, such as GPS and radars are always good items to haveaboard, as long as the operator of the equipment knows how to use them. If not,they may just as well remain in the box in which they arrived. Whether you needa refresher or even a lot of training, there are several good courses that are availablefrom the Coast Guard Auxiliary or the US Power Squadron. Don’t be afraid totake one. It just may save you a lot of trouble down the road.

(Editor’s note: I have personally never met Mr. Burrow. However, there is every reason to believethat he comes from somewhere along the coast in Hancock County. From his writings, I have everyreason to feel that he may be the wise old sage he appears to be and hope that you will continue toenjoy his contributions to the yearbook.)

Old Salt originally appeared in the 1966 yearbook as owned by Leon Knorrof Rowayton, CT. Over the years she was found to be a 1902 Robert McLain & Sonboat. The sloop was spotted “for sale” on a cradle in the late 80’s by Southington, CTcatering hall owner Joe Calvanese, who thought it would be a nice nautical addition tothe pond surrounding his large banquet hall. Here she graced many happy weddings,and after several years, finally broke up in the late 90’s in an attempt to move her.

As a boy, I spent many happy summers in Friendship watching the races fromRoberts wharf, and cheeringon our favorite sloop Dirigo.These days, I am a weddingDJ, and you can imagine whata unique experience it was toDJ a wedding at the (verymuch IN-land) Aqua Turfclub......with a Class A McLainsloop right outside?!

This is, no doubt, the lastphoto taken of Old Salt. Shewas proud to the end.

�����������&���'������(����������By Lucy Bell Sellers

On June 21st, 2004, we celebrated the twenty-first anniversary of the launching ofour Friendship sloop, Lucy Bell, and the forty-sixth anniversary of our marriage. Thatthe two occasions coincided was not, of course, an accident. When, after twelve monthsof boat building, my husband, Peter, realized that it would be possible to launch theLucy Bell on the day of our twenty-fifth anniversary, we confirmed the possibility withJoel White, shipped the completed hull to the Brooklin Boatyard for rigging and startedinviting our guests.

It all worked. At the high tide on June 21, l983, the Lucy Bell slid into the water,rigged and ready to sail. After a period of “open boat”, we went aboard with our fourchildren and a niece and sailed away down Eggemoggin Reach.

Now twenty-one years later, we can’t help looking back on that first sail and on allthe other sails that have come after. On her launching day, the Lucy Bell was already theboat of our heart’s desire. Now she is even more: a boat with adventures behind her, aboat with a past. A cherished part of that past is our encounters with other Friendshipsloop enthusiasts. We have not yet managed to get our boat to one of the Society’sevents, but we are part of an honored fellowship, all the same, and afloat and ashore, wehave reaped the benefits.

Our introduction to the fellowship preceded the Lucy Bell by several years. Wewere sailing in a Northeast Harbor A-boat off Mt. Desert Island, when we saw aFriendship sloop and gave chase, hoping to learn more about the wonderful kind ofboat that Peter had committed himself to build. Imagine our delight in finding thatSchoodic had been built by the owner, Bruce Lanning, himself, and imagine how eagerlywe received every word he had to say about it. It wasn’t until a good fifteen years laterthat the Schoodic and the Lucy Bell found themselves together in Rockland Harbor.

Our first encounter with Roger Duncan also took place at sea. It probably madelittle impression on him, but for us, the excitement was intense. Our hero of the CruisingGuide, Roger Duncan had been our constant companion on our cruises, added to which,at the moment our boats crossed paths, I had actually been reading Eastward out loud.We felt a little bit as we would have, had we been reading. Sailing Alone Around theWorld and Joshua Slocum sailed by. This fleeting encounter initiated a friendlycorrespondence.

In a thick fog, in 1996, we met the Amesburys of the Departure. It was after dinneron a day of fog-bound activities in Pemaquid Harbor that we heard a voice calling,“Lucy Bell! Lucy Bell!” We looked out into the dampness and saw a man in a rowboat.It was Doug Amesbury, membership secretary for the Friendship Sloop Society. Dougcame below for a visit and showed us, on the chart, some of his favorite harbors. Thenext day, we invited Doug and Irene to lunch, and that evening, they had us over for adelicious Fourth of July feast. All because of the fog? No. All because of the Friendshipfellowship.

--- The Tradition Continues ---

Just a short time ago, we had anotherFriendship sloop encounter. Anchored inBelfast Harbor, we watched the more thanhundred year old Amity sailing past us inthe evening. When I saw her captainwaiting for charters on the dock the nextday, I went to speak to him. He was StephenO’Connell, and this was his first seasontaking parties for day sails. I learned fromhis excellent brochure, among other things,that he had a Bates BA in Asian Studies,and that his wife grew up on a sheep farmin New Zealand. What’s more, Stephen wasthe father of a four week old baby!

These are only four of the rewardingmeetings that have come our way throughFriendship sloops. We used to say we had aDoylestown sloop, because that’s where theLucy Bell was born. Now we say “Friendshipsloop” because we treasure our relationshipto all those other wonderful boats.

Owned by Gladiator since 1967

When the sloop that you have owned for thirty-five years is due to be launched forthe 100th time, you wonder about other vessels that were built in that same year. Our sonBob lives in Washington, D.C., so we commissioned him to do the groundwork to getus into the National Archives. Security restrictions that were put into place after 9-11-01 had made this more complicated.

Arrangements completed, we traveled to the National Archives in Washington,DC to research the history of our sloop Gladiator. After completing all the securitychecks, we were given access to the folder containing the applications for documentationfiled at the Waldoboro, Maine, Customs House during 1902. When a vessel wascompleted, the builder requested a documentation number, measurement was completed,and the vessel was given an official number. Below is a compilation of what we foundabout vessels built during 1902 and documented at the customs house in Waldoboro,where vessels built in Friendship and Bremen were given their documentation.

It has often been said that Wilbur A. Morse was the most prolific boat builder ofhis day. Of the sixteen sail vessels listed above, Wilbur is listed as the builder of seven.He also completed two gasoline launches:

3/02/02 America 40.0 10.0 4.2 6 Net Tons6/18/02 H. M. Moore 40.6 10.1 4.2 6 Net Tons

We knew from the measurement certificate that our sloop was launched withoutan engine. Other research had revealed that she was built for Daniel W. Simmons, ofWaldoboro and was to be “employed in carrying on the Fisheries for one year”.

An eerie feeling came over us as we stared at the faded copy of the application fordocumentation filed by the builder, Alexander McLain. He had applied March 28, 1902.One hundred years later, on March 28, 2002, we had found the “birth certificate” forour sloop, on her 100th birthday.

What’s that expression – everyone loves a parade? Sloop skippers and theircrew at the 2004 Rockland Homecoming are no exception.

Well, that’s not entirely true. When you’re part of the parade, you don’t get tosee or hear the rest of the parade. Being commentator of a parade isn’t an easy job.You have to read the specs for each sloop off the white card owners filled out priorto the parade, listing sail number, hull color, owner’s and crew names. Decipheringhandwriting is the toughest part of that part of the job. You all must be surgeons theother 51 weeks of the year. To fill gaps between passing sloops, you rattle off briefsand bits of Society history and answer questions and squash rumors presented fromthe gathering masses. No, Queequeg wasn’t the name of the ship in “Mutiny on theBounty.” Yes, Jack Cronin does look a lot like Bob Villa.

And there is so much more that is said and heard on the dock. Here’s a recap:The Mistress of Ceremonies (hereafter referred to as “Announcer”) as William

Rand sailed by: “Laurie Rand, wife of the Society’s Commodore, has southernMaine’s largest collection of thimbles honoring United States vice presidents, andwas recently featured on a special on Home & Garden TV.”

Continued p. 22

22

Crowd on dock: (unison chorus of “ooohhh” and “aaahhhh”)

Announcer as Philip J. Nichols sailed by: “Betty Monk can be seen locally onChannel 13 announcing the daily lottery number drawing. She’ll broadcast livetonight, beginning at 5 p.m., under the tent and will be joined by the star of television’s“JAG,” the tall good-looking man.”

Woman seated on the dock: “I love that show.”

Announcer as Tannis sailed by: “Mary Cronin returns to Rockland followingservice as chief of staff to Senator Dick Gephart’s failed presidential campaign.”

Voice on dock: “Wow, imagine being that important to a presidentialcampaign?”

Announcer as Resolute sailed by: “On board is Maria Burnham, “Miss ClamFlat 1962,” who bribed a judge and then married him – her current and third husband.”

Woman on the dock: “Do you suppose that’s really true?”Announcer (off microphone): “You never know.”

Announcer as Salatia sailed by: “Marge Russakoff (Mrs. Miff) leaves Rocklandimmediately after Thursday’s race and heads to Athens to represent the UnitedStates on the Olympic biathlon team.”

Marge: “I’ll bring home the gold, don’t you worry!” (Crowd on dock applauded)

Announcer as Banshee sailed by: “Carol Wojcik arrived in Rockland thismorning; she presented our nation’s colors last night at the Democratic NationalConvention in Boston. Thank you, Carol!”

(Same) woman on the dock: “Now that I believe!”

The announcer begs forgiveness for mispronouncing the word “Linekin” ashomeport of the Merrills’ Celebration, and mispronouncing the name HarveyGamage, builder of Martin Thomas’ Lady M. The announcer is from away.

What stories will surface during the 2005 parade? You’ll have to listen to learn.

������������By Stephen Major

My brother built a boat. He was a year older than I and thus an expert on allthings nautical. It was not his only boat. He had started on lovely modelFriendships and progressed on to a rowboat named “Lopside”, and a sailingdingy “Hope-She-Floats”, but the Edelweiss, with its jaunty rig and handsomefigurehead, was his crowning achievement at age 15. It had taken two years andwe all thought it pretty fine, although the reporter from the “National Fisherman”who came to interview David had too little tact to ignore the cracked planks,oakum caulking, and triangular cross section.

In an effort tokeep this deep triangleballasted upright in thewater, Davidlaboriously cut up allthe iron silo hoops onthe old barn silo witha carbide blade on hisskilsaw and tied the 12inch bundles up withbaling twine. Then wemelted down all thelead pipe we could digup on the farm. On top(in the lockers) we added beach stones from our cove in Friendship. When wefirst launched her unballasted, she didn’t float off the trailer until swamped toher deck. We towed her to a mud beach, replaced the oakum with proper cottonand closed off her centerboard case, converting her in our minds from aMuscongus to a Friendship Sloop.

We missed the first two days of racing in 1976, but we got her out for thelast day “pumping like madmen all the way”. At 16 feet she carried nearly 2000lbs of lead, iron, and boulders. She had a tall rig with a bright blue and whitetopsail and flying jib sewn from an outrigger canoe sail. The generous sail planhelped to compensate for her portly displacement and awkward shape. Shecontinued to leak and so we joked about using her pump as jet propulsion duringthe races. Two people could sleep below in her cabin, and you did not actuallyhave to sleep with your hand over the edge of the bunk, though the floorboardswould be floating in the morning. The rusting silo hoops left a deep red stain onthose floorboards. Twice she sank at her mooring. Despite these challenges the

25

Edelweiss ventured forth on long excursions to Monhegan Island and aroundPenobscot Bay into Merchants Row.

In those days Edelweiss raced as a “Class C” modified Friendship in goodcompany with the Heritage. She almost always came in dead last after thecommittee boat had gone home, but just once she had a moment of glory. Theraces in Friendship had a long Handicap Alley stretching across Muscongus Bayfrom Cranberry Island. On that day only a light wind crept along the shores ofFriendship Long and Cranberry. We got a fine start, but watched as the entirefleet beat slowly past us to head out for their handicap buoys. Out there everyboat became a prisoner of flat calm. In the Edelweiss we crept slowly by in aghost of wind. Without any handicap we took a long lead beyond Black andHarbor Islands. As we passed Jones Garden towards Thief a light southeasterlybrought down a heavy fogbank. Jibing around the final buoy for the longdownwind leg toward Friendship Day Beacon we began to hear bagpipes and

accordions fromupwind. The wind builtsteadily and soon weheard bow-waveschuckling astern. Thefog tattered into wisps.Spreading mainsails,towering topsails, andlong bowsprits loomedin our wake. We kept onall sail plunging into ourown bow-wave asTannis, Gladiator, andthe Rights of Manslipped by. Just outsidethe harbor daybeaconthe Heritage camebooming up on ourstarboard quarterstealing our wind and

sneaking past, but still we made it across; number two in our class and crowingwith triumph at our magnificent race.

Today the Edelweiss sails in splendor bursting through a spray ofhuckleberries on a bluff above Delano Cove, her bowsprit heading out to sea.David cut her off at the waterline and set up her spars as a pirate ship for the nextgeneration. David now farms dairy sheep in Vermont, but joins us on the Echowhen he can.

����'��'�"���0����������.����By Stacey Patterson & LaMonte Krause

The Owners:I owned and lived aboard a 30 ft wooden sailboat built in Amsterdam. He owned

and lived aboard a wooden 6 meter. We met on a blind date arranged by a mutual friendwho wanted him to design and fabricate a piece for his boat. The price quoted was adate with me. My answer was, “Yes, if his hair is shorter than mine, the friend and hiswife go and the restaurant is expensive.”

We married, had our first child and lived aboard until the birth of our second child.We managed some sailing and owned a 16ft boat while raising our kids. But our Californiakids were into ice hockey so…

The Search:The years came and went and I wanted a sailboat again. He said, “ We’ll never be

able to get a slip. Find a slip first.” I couldn’t find a slip and put us on the 6 yr waitinglist all the marinas have in San Diego. He felt it was about time we did somethingsensible, like buy a house.

I searched for both. I started to download specs of boats for sale from the Internet.He wouldn’t look at them, so I left them in a binder in his bathroom. A friend of ourswas a real estate agent and we began to house hunt. In our price range it was slimpickings, but I finally found a house and put an offer on it. When he saw it he said, “Ifthis is the best we can do, I’d rather have a boat.”

So began a long and frustrating process. His criteria for the “right boat” seemedelusive, but the “wrong boat” list was long and specific. That list included price, adistance of 100 miles north and no “projects.” Only occasionally would one of the specsheets be given back to me to go take a look. I ruled out all but one and he nixed that oneafter he saw it.

One day he said he had seen a boat he’d actually buy, while he was working onHarbor Island. You could’ve knocked me over with a feather. He said the owner hadwaited 5 years to get the previous owner to part with her, so she wasn’t for sale. Theboat was the Pacific Child, a Friendship Sloop. He took me to see her. I was able to

Continued p. 30

define “elusive” and I knew we had found what we were looking for.We found the FSS website and were disappointed to find all the boats located on

the right coast. We didn’t feel we could afford the expense of buying a boat that faraway, so I continued to look. I expanded the search to 250 miles north and the monthswent by. No luck. Then I hit one of those really obscure sites. It was a “for sale byowner” and had only 5 boats listed. There it was, “For sale: 35 ft Friendship Sloop / SanFrancisco.” I’m not sure which one of us was more surprised. It was located muchfarther away than we liked, but the price was less than we had planned on. The differencewould compensate for the cost of getting her to San Diego. I called and got moreinformation. Although the actual L.O.D was vague (we wanted at least 31ft) and shehad no inboard engine, I asked to have pictures e-mailed. When those pictures came, hesaid with a big smile, “if it’s as good as it looks, we’ll buy it.”

The Purchase:Of course there were a lot of questions that would only be answered by actually

seeing and sailing the boat. Size, overall condition of the hull and sails mattered, buthow she sailed was paramount. He wanted a boat with “zazz.”

We drove to Alameda where the boat was located in South San Francisco Bay. Theboat had a full cover and as it was peeled back, her beauty took our breath away. So didher size-much, much, smaller than we were lead to believe. We raised our eyebrows ateach other- I said, “Small?” He said, “We’re here, let’s sail her.” Unlike normal conditionsup there, the winds were light and the sky was clear, much like San Diego. LaMontesaid even less than usual during the sail, but I could see him going over every inch ofthe boat with love in his eyes. The Genevieve had that rare quality of belonging to thewater. She performed with grace and agility. She had ZAZZ!! The size issue was resolvedwith the question: If one of us croaked, could the other one live on her and be comfortable?We made our offer contingent on passing survey and headed home.

We hired a very competent marine surveyor who found some problems in the hulland keel, but he felt overall she was in very sound condition. The owner had her putback in the water before we had the survey results and then informed us we would haveto pay for the repairs. We painfully stuck to our original deal; it had to pass survey forthe price we offered. For us it was simple - we didn’t have the extra money. A tense 24hours later the owner agreed to stick to the original offer and we hired the surveyor todocument and oversee the repairs. The delay would give me time to find a slip. Wewould keep her in Alameda until then.

Cool Factor + Respectability = slipFinding a slip in San Diego is impossible. Add a wooden boat and you’ve got

trouble. The marinas consider them a liability, unless the owner’s someone like…say,Dennis Connor. Genevieve’s 26 L.O.D. proved to be her redeeming feature. That sizeslip was the only available slip in San Diego. Getting a slip requires an interview withthe dock master, not unlike a job interview complete with personality profile, picturesand a current survey. So I found my age and years as a nurse served me well. Add the 22years of marriage and his 35 years of marine experience and you’ve got some real

respectability. Something,quite frankly, we neverthought we’d have. That’swhen I first had an inklingof the “cool” factor thislittle boat possessed. Thedock master fell in lovewith Genevieve’s pictureand almost forgot to ask ifshe was wood. We got theslip and 2 more monthswent by before the repairswere completed due to theweather up North.

The Arrival:Genevieve was trucked down shortly after our anniversary and was quite the

sensation on Shelter Island. The stream of curious visitors was endless. Shelter Islandhas a long history of boat building and people there have a great appreciation for finedesign and wooden boats. She was asked to be part of the Wooden Boat Festival atKoehler Kraft and offered a slip there soon after. The Friendship Sloop, prior to theGenevieve, was relatively unknown to the sailors of southern California. Two yearslater she is still followed, admired and hailed by other yachtsmen, who say, “I wish Ihad her! What a beauty.”

Happily Ever After?Okay, not exactly. I can just now joke about that first year. I don’t think we’ll ever

know why I developed the panic attacks going out on the Genevieve (I was fearless tothe point of stupidity prior to her). But thanks to our good friends Rod and Diane, someParrott Bay Rum, and my excellent varnish work, we’re still married. (Unlike the originalowner, LaMonte would’ve kept the boat and gotten rid of me.)

The Genevieve:The Genevieve arrived with an old photo album documenting the cold mold process

they used and the rest of her construction. We knew the builder was Emmet Jones andthe photos showed an older man and two younger men working on her hull. We also gota framed set of plans that were tattered, stained and hard to read. The word “Pemaquid”was on that plan. We thought that was her original name, until we found her listed onthe friendship sloop website and figured out it was her class. It appeared she might havebeen built in Costa Mesa CA. A plaque in the boat said “commissioned in 1982.” Theperson we bought her from was the third owner. The man who had her built sold herabout a year or so after she was completed.

Two months after she came to San Diego, she was a star at the Wooden Boat Show.The third person aboard her was visiting from Arizona and couldn’t believe he’d foundthe Genevieve. He had sailed aboard the Genevieve with his Uncle Vince. The family

33

had wondered what had become of her. The boat was named after his Aunt Genevievewho was a starlet in Hollywood in the 1940’s. His Uncle was an industrial architectwho worked in Mideastern countries. He had been interested and charmed by theFriendship Sloop design. The nephew had no specific reason why he sold the boat andinformed us his Uncle had passed away a few years ago.

A few months later, one of LaMonte’s regular customers came looking for himwhile he was on the boat having lunch (i.e. his nap). The customer came back and afterdiscussing what he needed asked him about his boat, somewhat surprised he’d nevermentioned it. As LaMonte told him of the little Friendship Sloop the man became curious.He had spent many hours sitting with his best friend while they watched his FriendshipSloop being built. He asked LaMonte the boats name and the Genevieve was indeed hisfriend’s boat.

He brought us pictures of the launching and was able to help with completing herstory. We showed him the photo album and he explained the older man was his friendVince, not Emmet Jones. The builder was one of the young men that looked like he wasin his early 20’s. His friend had spent months and months researching Friendships toproduce an accurately detailed, historical vessel. The boat was built in Vista and truckedto Dana Point for the launch. There is no engine in the Genevieve because historicallythey had no engines. Their first trip to Catalina Island required the friend to tow theGenevieve there and back because there was no wind.

The wife, Genevieve, was not pleased with the boat’s interior “accommodations”and refused to sail in her. Remember, she was a Hollywood starlet. So he sold her (theboat, not the wife). I suspect the so-called head area could’ve been an issue. It has aport-a-potty and only comfortably accommodates a person with the size and flexibilityof a 10 year old or younger.

The Genevieve remains primitive in her accommodations even today. There isessentially no galley, lots of places to smack your head and room for two people whomust really like each other. We added the one thing we couldn’t live without: a 5-cup12-volt coffee pot and an outlet to plug it in. We love her just the way she is.

Her overall condition is excellent. She’s no project; just a pleasure to have. Likeany fine lady she does require some maintenance. LaMonte has put some new runningrigging on her, replaced a lot of pins and pulled some of the lead out of her bilges. He’sworking on getting her back to the original way she was rigged when launched. Themainsail started to deteriorate after a few months and needed to be replaced. A quicktrip to the FSS website and a recommendation from Phoenix led us to Bohndells. Notonly was the price excellent, the sail was aperfect fit and arrived 2 weeks earlier thanexpected. Those guys are great. As for thevarnishing, I enjoy seeing a beautiful piece ofwood come to life and it keeps in good withthe Cap’n.

We did eventually buy a little house 2weeks ago in coastal Georgia. We thought theGenevieve should have a chance to explore theright coast in a couple years when we retire.

������By Cordell Hutchins

I first met the Viking almost twenty years before I came to own her. My father is alobsterman out of Cape Porpoise Harbor. I used to go out lobstering with him when I wasjust a child and that is when I first saw the Viking. This past spring I inherited my father’sold boat, the one I spent many hours on watching him work. She is a Down East open skiffof 19 feet, built in Nova Scotia in 1971. She was replaced by one of those pieces of“Tupperware”, as a friend of mine calls them. I restored her to her original splendor,removing some 65 layers of paint, revealing her beautiful cedar planks and teak stem. Shewas so pretty I decided to varnish the whole hull. I spent my free time last summer cruisingabout Cape Porpoise Harbor. That is when I rediscovered the Viking.

The sloop had been in the water and had not left Cape Porpoise Harbor for 18years. I decided that it was a terrible shame for the boat to sit there year after yearrotting away and inevitably sinking to the depths. My wife, Janine, was out with me oneday when I took a run over by the Viking so Janine could see her. She thought I wascrazy, and then she said, “You want it don’t you.” Of course I said, “Yes.” So it began.Next I went to my father. I asked him about the boat, and he said, “Don’t tell me youwant that thing.” He knew I did and he knew there was no changing my mind.

I got in contact with the owner, Daniel Parish, which was when I learned that sheis an original Morse built sloop, and almost 100 years old. I spent many hours talking tohim on the phone, and got his permission to board the boat and survey her. The boatseemed sound, so I got back in touch with the Dan and we came to an arrangement. TheViking was mine.

The Viking had no floor in the cabin, just a bunch of debris. The cockpit also hadno floor and the motor was a chunk of rust, as my father dubbed it. My father and Igrounded her out on the high flats and scraped 3 inches of mussels and crustaceans offthe hull. We also removed a piece of kelp approximately 20’ long from the rudder. Wedemasted her, checked her for soundness, and towed her 4 miles to the KennebunkRiver to be hauled out. The old Friendship cut right through the water with ease. Wewere towing her end to end and when we got to the river we went side by side. If anyoneout there knows the Kennebunk River you know the current. In the time it took to getside by side, the Viking had decided she was going up river with the current. I was onboard by myself so I had to pilot her while trying to get tied along side my friend’s boat.The old Friendship handled remarkably well. Now she resides in my driveway waitingfor next spring to begin the rebuilding.

Here is the history of my Friendship sloop Viking as best as I can recall from allthat I have been told. She is an original Wilbur A. Morse sloop, built around 1908. Sheis 29’6” on deck, a 9’6” beam, and a draught of 4’11”. I am not sure of the originalowner, but Viking seems to be her original name. A man named Nathaniel Giffordowned her in the 1940s.

One day when I was out on the Viking, I ran into the nephew of Mr. Gifford, whohappens to summer in Cape Porpoise. He was thrilled to hear that someone was going totake care of his family’s beloved sloop. He contacted me a few months after our meetingto let me know that his cousin, the daughter of Nathaniel Gifford had written an articleabout the sloop for Wooden Boat Magazine. I have been trying to obtain this article, but I

haven’t found it as of yet. If anyone out therehas any leads, please let me know.

Sometime in the forties she wasconverted to an auxiliary yawl. Six inchesof freeboard were added subsequentlyremoving a lot of her sheer, which is the onething about her that doesn’t lookfriendshipish. All the timbers were renewed,and the cabin and cockpit redesigned. Shemust have changed hands a few times beforeDan Parish acquired her around 1980. Hereplanked her from the waterline down andreplaced timbers. He never actually finishedthe sloop, but she was launched nonetheless.

All and all she is still a beautiful andgraceful sloop. I am excited to undertakethis project, and I figure it will take me twoor three years and an undeterminableamount of money. I am in hope to somedaysail her back to Friendship for a visit to herbirthplace. I am grateful for the help andsupport from everyone, especially my wife,Janine, my father, Victor, my mother-in-law,Ginny, and Capt. Don Fiske.
