I hope to see you on the water and at the Boat Show (the 48°N booth is West 24)!Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North
The Cure for the Winter Sailing BluesThe Seattle Boat Show marks all sorts of things
for people who love sailing: the beginning of a new year full of possibility, the chance to bone up on tons of knowledge thanks to the seminars, the opportunity to get a great deal on gear, equipment, or even a boat. But let’s not kid ourselves: the boat show also marks the middle of winter - the deepest, coldest heart of winter in the Pacific Northwest.
Deep winter in our region, understandably, can make boat owners wonder why they’re shelling out all sorts of dough and time, usually without reaping the benefits. It’s a time of year when projects on the
interior rule the day, or maybe just the periodic check-in to make sure the bilge is still empty! It can be hard on morale for skipper and crew. As terrific as the Boat Show is, I’m only aware of one true cure for the winter sailing blues. You have to go sailing!
There are all sorts of ways to make this happen. I’m not saying that you must go today, weather be damned. It’s cool if you want to wait for a dry or, yes, even a sunny day. From my experience, it’s every bit as good to go for an hour or two as it is to go for a full day. Go sailing, however it feels best to you. Trust me, just do it! For many years, I ran a once-a-week sailing activity year ‘round. I cannot overstate the genuine happiness that those always-chilly and usually-soaked sailors and I experienced after sailing in less-than-tropical conditions throughout the winter. Whatever their interests - racing, cruising, learning - going sailing was pretty much always better than skipping it!
The challenge is real, though different, for boatless sailors. We need to sail, too: to get our fix, to be reminded of why we love it, and to throw off the weight of the season. It’s often easier for non-boat-owners to get distracted by more winter-friendly activities. But, how many of you have been going skiing with your sailing buddies thinking, ‘remember when we used to sail ALL THE TIME?!’ Sure, it was only a few months ago, and it will be true again in a couple of months. I’d be lying if I denied running that line through my head periodically. I think the theory applies regardless of ownership status. Go sailing, top off the sailing tanks!
In this issue, there are two beautiful examples of winter cruisers who are doing better than the grin-and-bear-it approach to winter sailing on the Salish Sea. Scott Galbraith travels in rain and darkness on the boat he lives aboard, and has a splendid time exploring Poulsbo (page 42). His boat is cozy and warm down below thanks to a wood burning stove, but with an open cockpit, Scott and his girlfriend were exposed to the elements underway. They still had a great time! A special guest writer for the Galley Essentials column, another Amanda, tells us about a New Year’s Day trip on their Alberg 37 where their full cockpit enclosure and running diesel stove made it so warm that a swimsuit was the appropriate attire during their crossing of the Strait of Georgia (page 36)!
Ok, ok, if you consider it, weigh the options, and decide that you’re just not up for throwing on the foulies and throwing off the docklines for a local day trip or cruise in February. That’s fair. I won’t hold it against you. Hopefully you’ll be fortunate enough to enjoy a sunnier sailing destination, perhaps St. Vincent and the Grenadines (page 38). The options are literally endless.
So if you’ve got the telltale symptoms of the winter sailing blues: bags under the eyes, a twitchy grinder arm, general disinterest, uncontrollable sighing, a compulsion to tie bowlines in your shoelaces... Take your medicine, go sailing! You’ll feel better, I guarantee it. (Note: I am in no way qualified to give medical advice of any kind).

Response To Shore Power Safety Article
Dear 48° North,
Your article “Use Shore Power Safely” had a lot of great information. It didn’t however address the overloading issue of plugging in a 15 amp system into a 30 amp dock pedestal.
The article discussed and had pictures of a 30 to 15 amp adaptor. This has a 30 amp connector on one end (allowing it to be plugged into the pedestal) and a 15 amp connector on the other end (allowing it to be connected into a 15 amp circuit). We see these frequently at our marina. While the article covers the issue of having GFI protection is doesn’t address overloading. As shown the only overload protection the 15 amp system will have is the 30 amp breaker in the pedestal. As this is twice the amperage the system is designed for it has essentially no overload protection.
This can be addressed by having the adaptor plug into a receptacle with a 15 amp breaker. Otherwise you risk, as the song goes, “goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!”
Walt ElliottKingston WA
Since I’m no electrical expert, I thought I’d send this on to Jack to see what he thought:
Hi Walt,
You are absolutely correct. When you have an extension cord and connectors that support 15 amps, you should have a 15 amp breaker to protect them.
Thanks,Jack Wilken

Cool New Boat
Hi Joe,
We have been working on and off for the last 3 weeks on a brand new boat to North America called a Ker 33. It came in on a ship from China where it was built by McConaghy Boat Works. The mast came in from Hall Spars New Zealand and arrived a couple of days later. That itself is unbelievable. The paint job is unreal, metallic green. Check out the picture!
This is a high profile boat and we believe it is likely the first in North America. The boat is hull number three with one and two in the UK and Australia. I expect the boat will be splashed the first week of January.
StewartPro-Tech Yacht Services Ltd.Vancouver, BC
Thanks Stewart!
This is a cool new boat! It’s always exciting to see what comes out the brains of the world’s great boat designers, and Jason Ker is a very, very good one in my opinion. I haven’t heard anything about this boat previously and am excited to learn more and hopefully sail it! This boat is another in the long line of collaborations between Ker and McConaghy. There are always trade-offs with yacht design and construction, but from what I’ve read McConaghy is doing some fine work that also represents good value. Their Harry Dunning-designed McConaghy 38 One Design has gotten a lot of buzz over the past few years, and certainly looks hot! Plus, a little search revealed (thanks Sailing Anarchy) that every McConaghy-built boat that sailed Quantum Key West Race Week 2014 was on the podium that year. It seems to bode well for this new Vancouver-based Ker 33’s build quality and potential as a competitive racer/cruiser!

PACIFIC
NEW LOCATION FOR 2016!
Bah! Humbug!December 25, 2015
Dear Sailing Friends in the Pacific Northwest,
Season’s Greetings from the other side of space and time — where the wind is more relevant than the news and the winter solstice more so than Santa. Far more humans have celebrated/worshiped this time of rebirth than have Santa’s arrival!
Raven’s Dance, and her captain, are in port in Puerto Vallarta for the holidays. Cruising is never so different from a land life than at Christmas. In PV there are no decorated trees or Christmas carols… no genuine spirit of Christmas. Only ”Xmas” where X stands for the army of commercial vendors. And in spite of my admiration for the local crafts and desire to support local craftsmen, I have no need to purchase their wares, as I lack for nothing.
Living the dream of the cruising life is my choice. But no choice, however agreeable, comes without a cost. Ironically, the further I travel, the closer I come to those I cherish. This year my Christmas gift to myself is the poignant reminder that I never know as clearly what I love as when it is absent one year. This, dear family and friends near and far, brings me a singular Christmas wish for you:
Ramp up your expressions of love (before it’s too late).Reach out to new friends (your reach far exceeds
your grasp).Give more gratitude than you think you have
(you always have more).For in the 3,000 nautical miles we’ve sailed through
storm and bliss, from the Northern Lights to the tropical waters,
The true meaning of Christmas and family and friendshave no earthly equal.
Howard EdsonS/V Raven’s Dance

An Update from Justin and the Antares II
Hello! Ia Orana! Bonjour!
It has been quite a trip, filled with amazing people and stunning natural scenery! Since I left Oregon in August 2014, I have sailed over 7000 miles, including 4500 miles solo. I have traveled the entire West Coast of the US, down into Baja and the Sea of Cortez, and in April I crossed the Pacific solo just under 27 days to Nuka Hiva, Marquesas. So far, I have explored the Marquesas Islands, Tuamotus, and Society Islands. I am currently in Huahine, French Polynesia, and I will be staying here through cyclone season. I was expecting to sail to New Zealand by October, but unfortunately I had to haul out in Tahiti to strip the bottom paint and topsides back to gelcoat, and repaint the entire hull. I also replaced a thru hull and rebuilt the rudder and its components. It was an incredible amount of work that lasted 26 days. I was grateful to have my brother, Nate, there to help me. He flew out to help and sail with me. Antares is an old boat, which means there is always something to do on it, usually vital, but I have managed to fix things thus far.
Unfortunately, while I was working in the boatyard in August, I was running an errand on the skateboard and a car hit me at a stoplight and left me with an injured left wrist and broken radius head. To complicate things, I was working on some rickety scaffolding two days later to finish some last epoxy fairing and fell about 20’ onto pavement. I ended up suffering a concussion, damaged tendons in my ankle, and I landed on my arm that was already broken! I was lucky it wasn’t worse and could continue to finish the haul out work, which was only about half finished. I had a cast up to my shoulder! It seems to be slowly getting better. I started surfing again this past week!
Once Antares was back in the water, I returned her to the anchorage near Marina Taina in Tahiti and decided to fly to New Zealand to obtain my Carte de Sejour (One Year Visa) and get my RYA Yachtmaster’s Offshore Certificate.
As many of you know I just started sailing about 2.5 years ago, so getting my Yachtmaster’s was a lot of work. I took theory classes on navigation, pilotage, weather, and navigational aids, and a series of three tests followed. Next up were a series of classes (STCW95) that included fire-fighting, safety at sea, and first aid. Finally, I spent four days training with our RYA instructor mastering techniques like docking, blind navigation, lights and signals, and a variety of man overboard drills under sail. On the day of the examination, we were put under watch by an Auckland Harbor Pilot, which meant there was not much room for error. The other student, Hanes, and I passed the examination around 11:00PM that night and were keen to celebrate with a glass of champagne on the mooring at Waiheke Island.
I will be hanging here in the Societies for the next few months, looking to land a delivery job or crewing gig.
Cheers,Justin Hoye-HouseS/V Antares II

The Wooden Boat Festival Turns 40 in 2016
Nobody was sure what to expect 40 years ago when a motley crew of young “boatniks” organized the first Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, held without much fanfare on a September weekend in 1977.
To the astonishment of many, the event drew more than 200 boats, 1,000 registered attendees and was described as a 'Successful Surprise' in the local Port Townsend Leader.
The 2016 Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, to be held September 9-11, will celebrate the event's 40th anniversary with special presentations and a reunion party to honor both people and boats present at the first-ever Wooden Boat Festival in 1977. Organizers need your help. If you attended the first Wooden Boat Festival and have photos or memories you can share of the event, please contact Barb Trailer, director of the Wooden Boat Festival, at the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend. If you know of particular boats that were displayed at the 1977 Wooden Boat Festival, organizers are hoping to gather some of the first-Festival watercraft for a special display at the 2016 event. Please get in touch if you have information on any boats that are still in the area and might be available to display next year.

Many witty phrases stem from seafaring and sailing ships of yore. It’s a wonder that so few truly help while sailing. Three sheets to the wind, hard and fast, batten down the hatches, give a wide berth, know the ropes, mal de mer, hand over fist, the bitter end, and go by the board - these are all brilliant, concise phrases that make a situation clear. The closest expression modern sailors get to practical advice is reef early. “Oh! The wind is coming. Good thing we know to reef early.” Ho hum.
Three sheets to the wind after a few pints, the sailor recounts his battle at sea: the wind hit hard and fast, time to batten down the hatches and give a wide berth to sailors that don’t know the ropes or suffer mal-de-mer. You’ve got to pull hand over fist to the bitter end or go by the board. Or he could reef early...ho hum.
When between the devil and the deep blue sea, it may be necessary to reduce sail area. But what does reef early even mean? Before the first cup of coffee? Today, because it’ll be windy tomorrow? It’s certainly sage advice for safety. “Your beam ends will be full to the gunwales if you don’t reef early.” But what if you cannot?
Twist over heelOn occasion, reefing early is
inconvenient or the moment of opportunity passes and you get caught
in a surprise wind increase. Don’t walk the plank! Learn to depower by setting the mainsail with twist to reduce heel. In practical terms, too much wind equates to too much power. Monohulls respond by heeling, a lot. The scale of forces acting on sails, rigging, and the skipper’s docile state go up considerably. Multihulls don’t heel, of course, thus escalating rigging forces even more than monohulls.
Being overpowered also causes an imbalance in driving force generated by sails. This tends to cause a boat to round-up (turn) to windward. Since a boat is all soul and no brain, it doesn’t make good navigational choices while rounding-up. In this moment it’s prudent to counteract rounding-up with proper application of opposing rudder forces. Directing rudder to steer to leeward will maintain a controlled, straight course. This is called weather helm, referring to a tiller pulled to windward. Weather helm slows boat speed and stresses the steering system because the rudder acts like a brake turned sideways to the flow of water.
Sailing along the coast of Tahiti, we had 35 knot gusts rolling down the mountainous island, punctuating an otherwise pleasant 20 knot breeze. With each gust, a nearby cruiser tried to depower by easing the genoa sheet. This exacerbated the imbalance in driving forces, causing them to round-
up into an uncontrolled tack and point directly towards a nearby reef. To depower correctly and quickly:
1. Ease the mainsheet.2. Set the mainsheet traveler the
leeward.3. Uncleat the vang (if you don’t
have one, you should). If you shake a leg at these steps the
upper section of mainsail will twist to leeward. Wind slips by the mainsail with less force on sails, rigging, and rudder. It’s fine if the main luffs some, but best that it doesn’t flog. Additionally, you can tighten the outhaul and backstay, if adjustable, and now safely ease the genoa/jib sheet without the risk of an uncontrolled tack. Remember, twist over heel when reefing early didn’t happen.
Tuck by twenty, leaves you plenty The sensation of how sailboats
respond to increasing wind varies widely. Some accelerate. Some don’t, but heel way over. Multihulls don’t heel and may or may not accelerate, so it can be harder to sense wind changes. Wind direction relative to the boat also matters. Going upwind enhances this feeling, while downwind softens it.
Consequently, knowing when to reef is sometimes obvious, but often not. It takes time on water to develop a natural feeling. Even then, fickle winds can surprise. What’s certain is pushing a boat hard, not depowering or reefing is reckless. The sailors on the boat that tacked out of control in Tahiti boasted about the great conditions and how fast they went by not reefing when others
did. Having watched them on the water, I was taken aback. If there is ever doubt about when to reef, do so by 20 knots of wind. By and large, reefing is easier and safer in less wind; and the boat will often go faster and point better,
Reefing: When, Why, and Some Tips on How
Here we see examples aboard “Totem” of a set of dog ears (left) and a low-friction ring (right).
LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

with less stress than the unreefed sailor, chock-a-block with false pride.
Knowing when to reef is an hors-d’oeuvre. Knowing how to reef well is five course meal. How depends on many variables: reef at the mast or from cockpit, using single or multi-part reefing systems, with lazy jacks or not, slab reefing or furling, etc. Here are a few tips that may help for the most common reefing systems.
Reef at any wind anglePointing a boat into the wind
in order to reef is a dramatic course alteration that is unnecessary, adds complexity, and increases risk. Instead maintain course and depower the mainsail. Then, as you lower the halyard to reef, also keep tension on the leech reef line. This keeps the sail flatter so it doesn’t get plastered against rigging, bunching up and causing friction. If going dead downwind, a small course adjustment of 15 to 20 degrees lowers the risk of accidental gybe and reduces the friction issue (especially if the mast has swept back spreaders).
Dog earsIf the luff reef is secured on a reef
hook, doing so using dog ears (or dog bones) is easier than using the reef ring itself. Dog ears are two round rings webbed together through the luff reef ring. Only one round ring needs to be secured on the hook, and it shouldn’t be a struggle. If it is, the dog ears may be too short. Make the webbing strop between round rings long enough to easily secure – 6 to 12 inches is common.
Low friction ringsThe leech reef line forms an acute
angle passing through the leech reef ring in the sail. Consequently, the reefed portion of sails gets scrunched by the unreefed portion of sail and reef line, which can make reefing harder and cause sail chafe. The solution is low friction rings lashed to the leech reef ring. Use 3mm Dyneema line for the lashing, with 6 inches of separation between reef ring and low friction ring. Now the leech reef line passes through the low friction ring giving enough separation so the reefed section of sail isn’t so scrunched. The low friction ring is smoother and has a wider turning radius than the reef ring, making
reefing a little easier with less chance for chafe.
Anchoring the leech reef lineBooms often have a pad eye to
secure the bitter end of leech reef line. It’s better to anchor the leech reef line around the boom. This is far stronger than an external fitting that can weaken from corrosion. The reefing line can pass through the eye when going around the boom to hold its location, but that isn’t required.
Get the squeak outIf reefing line is not high modulus,
such as Spectra/Dyneema, it can stretch and squeak loudly against the boom. To quiet this, use a high modulus strop around the boom and attach reefing line to this strop. No stretch, no squeak.
Reefing shouldn’t be a call to panic stations. Learn to depower (twist over heel) and reef early (a tuck by 20 leaves you plenty) for in-control, happy sailing.

“Let the scandal begin,” John said, handing me the exercise book I write in. “I don’t like this story and you haven’t even written it yet.”
“SOMEONE has to write this article,” I told him. “Enquiring minds want to know.”
“What are you going to put in it?”“It’s like this, Darling . . . “ I said . . . Canoodling at the dock while
you’re out and about in the Gulf Islands can be awkward because your boat is surrounded by other vessels and someone you don’t even know might knock on your hull to borrow a cup of sugar or try to determine if your vessel is ferrocement. So docks are out. You have neither any idea who these people are nor what is their level of nosiness. Back in your home port, for example, you KNOW the level of nosiness of your neighbours, so you can plan accordingly. Basically, everybody knows all and tells all against which there is no defence, but in THEORY you can maintain some degree of privacy.
But back to the Gulf Islands. If
docks are out, then your best bet for canoodling is while at anchor. Your closest neighbour has other things to worry about than what you are doing and your boat drifts gently around a fixed point, leaving you free of care and cradled in a romantic love nest. However, let me say at the outset that the Captain is more apt to have a willing candoodle partner if his vessel is not dragging, which brings me to some advice on safe anchoring and the merits of a few Gulf Island anchorages.
Our vessel is heavy: I am very attached to our knock-off CQR anchor and 200 feet of chain. A CQR is less apt to drag on a slippery bottom than a Bruce, for example, because a CQR digs in well and swivels when your vessel does, resetting itself well in firm mud. Also, chain is heavy and will hang, making smaller the angle from the anchor to your vessel and improving the dig-in quality of your anchor. You can keep that angle low by making sure you have at least a 5:1 rode, or 7:1 in worse conditions, but chain and enough rode in combination
can give a first mate the kind of peace of mind that encourages canoodling. There is, and let me stress this, NO canoodling without peace of mind. There may instead be screaming and recriminations, which is the opposite of the effect you wish to achieve.
Genoa Bay is a fine destination for canoodling, but not with a Bruce anchor in a SE wind. The bottom is very soft and a Bruce is apt to slip if a wind comes straight into the bay. In light airs, however, your vessel will drift romantically around your anchor and rock your vessel tenderly. The Bay is small and usually not crowded, and at the marina is a first-rate restaurant. After the sun drops behind the mountains you can see thousands of stars.
Fulford Harbour is only a moderately good canoodling destination. The area suitable for anchoring is small, though not impossibly so. The holding is good, but Fulford Harbour, like Genoa Bay, is open to the SE and near the shore you can see the wreck of a marina, whose
Canoodling at AnchorBy Catherine Dook
35 www.48North.com February 2016
naked pylons stand as a reminder of what a SE wind can do. This is apt to make a first mate uneasy. By ‘uneasy’, I mean ‘not inclined to candoodle.’ In addition, the Skeena Queen Ferry glides into Fulford Harbour at two hour intervals, throwing a wake as she spins that will make your vessel rear like a frightened horse and set your mate to thinking about how much line you have out rather than how wonderful you are and her luck in having married you. Unless your timing is careful, Fulford Harbour canoodling can only take place after the Skeena Queen is berthed. Twenty-one thirty, for those who want to know.
Port Browning is fine for canoodling, except in another SE blow, which will scream straight into the harbour and terrify even the Captain. The holding is good, the view is beautiful, and the pebbled beach a fine place for romantic picnics, but at the first sign of a south-easter, your strategy is to motor around the breakwater, head straight for the marina and pay whatever they want.
Bedwell Harbour has the advantage of a small anchoring site, and if you’re
lucky, not too many neighbours. The holding is good mud, though a little deeper than Port Browning. Make sure you have a good rode. Nearby is Poet’s Cove Resort, with all the amenities you could want to wine and dine your partner. The views on land are beautiful, though you have to walk straight uphill at an angle that may leave your partner too exhausted to consider canoodling until she’s been properly romanced by candlelight. You may be startled by the appearance of an enormous lit-up luxury cruise ship anchoring in the middle of the harbour, but the one we encountered was quiet and well-behaved and made no wake at all. And unless the passengers had binoculars trained on us, we felt perfectly private.
The fourth and final Gulf Island I would like to discuss is Montague
Harbour. Montague Harbour is the gold standard of canoodling anchorages. Protected on all sides from wind, a large holding area with no snags and a firm mud bottom, we have never dragged at Montague Harbour, nor have we ever had a vessel drag into us. In addition, the bottom is such good mud that the first mate will not spend her anchoring time fretting on the difficulty she may have in raising the anchor. Montague Harbour, with its romantic walks through the nearby marine park, its shuttle bus (in season) to the rollicking Hummingbird Pub, and its easy dinghy-row to Laurie’s fabulous Sea Blush Café at the marina, has everything you need for a quiet candoodle. Even a blanket of stars. And anchor lights. People on the boats around you are canoodling too.
“What can I do to put you in the mood?” John asks romantically.
“Reset the anchor, Darling,” I reply.Catherine Dook was born in the Arctic,
a good training ground for what it takes to live onboard a boat. She has written four books about boating, the third of which is called ‘Darling Call the Coast Guard, the Neighbours are Squabbling!’
“Chain and enough rode in combination can give a first mate the kind of peace of mind that encourages
canoodling...”

This month’s galley is kindly written by Amanda Cooper, who I’ve yet to meet although I’ve been following her sailing endeavors through updates from her Mum, Beth, who was featured in January’s 2012 Galley Essentials.
Ten years ago, my boyfriend Kyle and I met at a bar in Vancouver. After we spilled beer on each other, he invited me to get a new shirt where he was living on his Grandpa Jack’s wooden 35’ troller, docked down the road at the Plaza of Nations. I stayed there all weekend, and it wasn’t long until I moved aboard. The rest is history. We’ve lived in an attic, apartments on Main Street and have both crewed on various boats together and apart, but now we are back to where it all started, on the dock in False Creek and loving it.
Currently, we’re moored on Granville Island, aboard our Alberg 37, Quartz. When it comes to moorage in the creek, it really doesn’t get better than this. We found Quartz in the spring of last year on the Sunshine Coast and it was a quick buy. With a new engine, autopilot, full cockpit enclosure, diesel stove, and a full keel she was everything we needed for adventures on the West Coast and beyond. We’ve since done trips around the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound and up to Princess Louisa. The lush green British Columbia coast is truly stunning. Even if we sailed up and down this coast for another ten years, we couldn’t see all there is to see. Always on the hunt for new nooks to anchor in, you could say we’re dedicated to ‘Gunkholing,’ defined by
Wikipedia as a boating term referring to shallow water cruising, meandering place to place, and spending nights in coves.
We came by this lifestyle naturally, as both of our parents are enthusiastic Gunkholers. In fact, Kyle’s dad, Ron, used
to spend the summers on his sailboat anchored in Campbell Bay on Mayne Island, the bay where my Grandma lived for the last 25 years. Kyle says he remembers a little water-skier ripping around and disturbing the peaceful sanctuary. That was me! Grandma was a sailor and she and Grandpa spent a season in the Caribbean in the 80s and that, she says, was the best year of her
life. My parents, Beth and Norm, caught on to the good life, too, and named their boat, Sarah Jean II, after Grandma. They’ve sailed to the South Pacific, New Zealand and back, and have now started their own offshore sailing school, Ocean Forest Voyaging.
Due to necessity, our mantra onboard is to “Keep it Simple.” The Alberg 37 is not known for its fancy galley. We have diesel stove that isn’t gimbaled, an external two-burner alcohol stove, one sink and standard top-loading fridge. Generally, we try to keep it to one pot or pan at a time. Aside
from that, we don’t have a car, and use Kyle’s motorcycle to go provisioning. Luckily though, we live right next to the Granville Island Market where there’s endless fresh produce. Here’s my favorite smoothie recipe.

to get it for him as it makes for simple and delicious meals. I don’t think that I mentioned that Kyle is actually a talented chef, rarely following recipes and intuitively mixing ingredients to taste. I’m the Salad Queen, which includes salad rolls, smoothies and wraps. We’ve eaten vegetarian at home for as long as I can remember and more recently would like to be vegan when possible. It’s a fun challenge. For us, sailing just isn’t a pastime, but a lifestyle that is synonymously in harmony with nature. Occasionally, Kyle will catch a fish and we will gratefully enjoy it, but most often we keep our fridge meat and dairy free.
On the sunny New Year’s Day of 2016, we put the new pressure cooker to good use while motoring across a glassy strait to the Gulf Islands. The cooker is perfect for conserving fuel and creating one-pot meals that can last days! After being on the water in the cool winter weather, nothing beats a good bowl of chili. Although to be honest, we had our full enclosure up and snapped tight, so with the diesel stove going and the sun shining through the plastic, the cockpit was hot! It was like we were in a solarium sauna! I was in my bathing suit it was so hot. If you want to do winter cruising comfortably, this is the way to go. Here’s how we did the chili.
Vegetarian Chili 1 zucchini1 green pepper 1 onion3 cloves of garlic1 can whole tomatoes1 can crushed tomatoes1 can corn1 can mushrooms2 cups assorted dried beanspinch cinnamoncrushed chilies salt & pepper1 tablespoon of cumin½ teaspoon chili powderhot sauce
The instructions are uncomplicated. Chop veggies, then combine in pressure cooker with canned veggies and beans. Bring to pressure and cook 45 minutes. Add spices and chilies to taste once pressure is released. Serve in bowls with bread to dip. Serves 6.
The next morning, we wanted to have something special because we were
on holiday, of course! These pancakes, a healthy twist on an old favorite, leave you feeling light yet satisfied before a day of exploring.
Apple Cinnamon Pancakes 1 cup pancake mix ¾ cup of water1 grated applea few spoons of ground flax seedsa few spoons of chia seedsa pinch cinnamon
Combine pancake mix with remaining ingredients and whisk until large lumps disappear. Let stand 2 minutes. Preheat skillet over medium high heat. Skillet is ready when drops of water sizzle, then disappear almost immediately. Lightly grease. For each pancake pour ¼ cup of batter onto skillet. Flip when golden brown. Cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with maple syrup and fruit. Serves 2.
After eating chili for a few days we were ready for something new. In the summer we often BBQ mushrooms with corn, but in winter, roasting them is an excellent way get the juiciest results.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) in the Windward Islands has always been top of my list of
places to sail. We made it there in early November 2015. It was a wonderful holiday with great sailing, warm waters perfect for snorkeling, fascinating flora and fauna, a live volcano and warm, friendly people.
It’s a long way to the Grenadines from the Pacific Northwest. So, it makes
perfect sense to stop-over in Barbados and take a surf class with Barry's Surf Lessons. Matt and Danny were patient and talented instructors and actually got us standing on our first lesson. We are hooked.
We left early next morning for St Vincent and the Grenadines by LIAT, which is an island hopping Caribbean airline. Our approach to the airport at Kingstown was nail-biting. The plane
lines up with the runway over the sea and then touches down a scant few meters from the edge of the bluff. St Vincent is a lush and verdant island with a mountainous heart. La Soufriere, an active volcano rises to 4,049 feet at its northern end.
We climbed La Soufriere (“The Sulfurer”) the next day with Jumo, our friendly taxi driver and guide. The road to La Soufriere winds around the wild and dramatic east coast which faces the Atlantic Ocean. A guide is recommended to accompany you up the volcano because there are illegal marijuana cultivations on the fertile slopes. We did encounter a few youth reeking of marijuana and carrying bags of “fertilizer.” The trail is steep and muddy, but very well maintained. We passed through banana and breadfruit plantations before entering thick forest. We were lucky because the clouds and mist cleared as we arrived at the summit and we could see the gently steaming vent hole inside the crater.
On our way back, Jumo took us to Black Point Tunnel, which was hewn

out of the sea rock face in 1815 by slave labor, and used to store and transport sugar.
We also explored the gentle western coast that overlooks the Caribbean Sea. We stopped at Wallilabou Bay to visit the set of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. The filming of Pirates of the Caribbean was a very significant event in SVG’s history and almost every adult islander appears to have been part of the filming in some way.
We began sailing the next day. We chartered our boat from Barefoot Yacht Charters at Blue Lagoon marina. The dock staff at BYC were literally barefoot and barehanded with no safety equipment, but were competent and friendly. Our boat was a 34’ Beneteau called Pelican Pete. Pelican Pete looked a little past its prime, but was well equipped and safe. The weather was partly cloudy and punctuated with frequent squalls, which is quite normal for this time of year. As we got ready to cast off, a squall came screaming in and drenched us. It lasted for quite a while and just as we had resigned ourselves to staying overnight at the marina it died away. The sun came out again and we cast off.
It’s a little tricky to get out of the Blue Lagoon Bay so it’s typical for one of the staff to skipper the boat out of the bay and then return in a tender after handing you the helm. Once out of the bay, we plotted a beam reach south to Bequia. I had expected to experience something like the gentle waves and winds in the Sir Francis Drake Channel in the BVI. However, this was more open and the winds and high waves can make for nerve-racking sailing. There is also a strong westerly current.
We were glad we had reefed our main immediately. After a couple of hours, we finally rounded Devil’s Table and were relieved to drop our sails in the quiet of Admiralty Bay. The sun had set and the harbor lights glittered in the water as we motored up to find a spot to anchor. Thankfully, our anchor set right away on the fringes of the crowd of boats already moored out there.
Bequia is a beautiful and unspoiled island. The bay with its marina and jumble of small shops and restaurants fronting the beaches has an old-world charm. There is a marvelous trail all the way from the marina down almost all around the bay. It takes you up a bluff, down past a cement walkway that’s kissed by the waves, and across
two lovely white sand beaches. I got my hair braided by Faye, who has plied her wares and skills in the same spot on Princess Margaret Beach for the last 12 years. We had lunch at Keegan's Beach Bar and also spent some time snorkeling right off the beach. Keegan’s also rents kayaks. We spent some time puttering around the bay in a couple of sit-on-top kayaks.
Another taxi driver, Trevor, took us on a tour of the island and it is beautiful and still-free of resorts and over-development. There are lovely villas to rent - nestled peacefully in the sun with beautiful 360° views from the hills. Trevor took us to the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary where we met Mr. Orton King and the magnificent hawksbill sea turtles that he nurtures in his hatchery. Mr. King fell in love with sea life the first time he put his head underwater and opened his eyes. He is worried that not enough is being done to preserve the reefs of SVG which stretch all the way down from Saint Vincent to Grenada.
We left for Mustique a few days later. Mustique is a private island

owned by the Mustique Company and is frequented by British royalty and the very wealthy. It has palatial villas owned by the likes of Mick Jagger and Tommy Hilfiger. We were told that it has also preserved the native flora and fauna beautifully.
Our course to Mustique was a beautiful day of sailing with not a squall in sight. We passed the shipwreck of Love Divine between East Cay and West Cay on Bequia. We took the Easy Passage between Pigeon Island and
Isle de Quatre before pointing towards Britannia Bay on Mustique. Britannia Bay is a wide open bay with a hazard: Montezuma Shoal a mile to the west. You are only allowed to use mooring balls, and they are rather tricky to pick them yourself as they don’t have a line floating in the water to hook. However, a VHF call brings a harbor attendant who helps you tie up and takes your $75 mooring fee. The dock is brightly lit at night so we were glad we had moored a good ways away.
The British used to grow cotton in Mustique using slave labor. Now, it is an exclusive island for the super-rich. Boom-Boom, our third taxi driver of note, gave us a tour of the island and showed us the many opulent villas and also identified their high flying owners. The island does resembles a high end country club with overtones of a slave plantation. The staff at the villas are only allowed to live in a village set away in a corner. This village also has a giant diesel fueled power plant belching out noxious fumes. I reflect cynically on why a wealthy island in the sun doesn’t use more renewable energy sources.

My favorite thing about the island were the tortoises. They were everywhere and of all sizes. They were crossing the road, dozing under the coconut trees, nibbling the grass on the lawn. They are protected on Mustique. I wondered if the golf carts that are used for transportation on the island would turn turtle if they hit a tortoise crossing the road. It was well worth visiting Mustique to see these most endearing reptiles.
Our last night at Mustique we watched the most beautiful red-gold sunset and my partner says he caught the green flash as the sun dipped over the horizon. It was a lovely end to one of our most fun vacations. We are still dreaming about our experience and can’t wait to get back to explore the other islands in the Grenadines.
Suzanna has been sailing in the Sound with her husband for the past several years. Lately, she has been venturing further afield to the Caribbean, especially during PNW winters. Different cultures, flora and fauna have always fascinated her. She finds that sailing is a great way to explore them. She started sailing with Windworks Sailing at Shilshole.
This guy and his cousins were a major highlight! Whether it was the endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle, or the other tortoises just crossing the road, the author couldn’t
get enough!

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish SeaSketches and story by Larry Eifert
Larry Eifert paints and writes about wild places. His work is in many national parks across America – and at larryeifert.com.
Want a blast of color on a drab winter’s day? A cold walk along most Salish Sea beaches, boardwalks or marinas will give you a good chance to see some of these astonishingly beautiful birds – but only in winter. Harlequin ducks have unmistakable colors and can’t be confused with any other bird. Summers find Harlequins nesting and fishing up wild mountain rivers, seemingly the wilder the better. In the Cascades and Olympics, we’ve seen harlequins appear to actually have fun diving into the most turbulent whitewater, then resurface 50 yards downstream only to try it again. It’s not a life for the delicate or infirm - harlequins have been found with broken bones, presumably from being smashed against rocks in ocean surf or river rapids.
So are we going to see drab winter Harlequins like many of the other Salish Sea seasonal migrants? Here’s the best part! Rare for seabirds, male Harlequins sport their most brilliant breeding plumages in winter, molting to drab colors between July and September. I guess that makes sense if you’re a small bird looking for true love while living under an overcast and rainy seascape, but few other migrant birds have evolved this way. Females and juveniles have to contend with a duller suit of clothes, typical of nesting or learning-about-life security. Just look for that one white circle behind the eye and you’ll easily I.D. them too. Typical of diving ducks, they forage for crustaceans, mollusks, small fish under water by diving or even walking along the bottom.

After a month of fixing up a few projects created by my last outing
on the water, it was time to get Shaula, my Kendall 32, off the dock again. Anna and I only had two days to spend on the water and since I’d never been to Poulsbo during the winter it seemed like a good option for a weekend trip. The biggest consideration was catching the right tides to get through Agate Pass on the northwest corner of Bainbridge Island. Shaula does about 5 knots on a good day, so it was super important to time our passage right: ride the flood into Poulsbo and the ebb out. This meant leaving the dock Saturday morning at 5 am. In the pouring rain.
It was a dark, almost windless ride across the Sound. We got to the Agate Pass Bridge just before daylight showed us how hard it really was raining. With the engine nicely rattling away and fresh cups of coffee at the ready, the ride was comfortable and we stayed warm for the three hours it took from dock to dock. The marina in Poulsbo is the cool place to be during the summer, especially for 3rd of July raft-up parties. But even on a rainy winter weekend, it was still busy, with a couple visiting yacht clubs and a few sailboats. We found a spot front and center, right on downtown Poulsbo’s doorstep. It’s sweet to be able to walk up the ramp and turn left into a beautiful park with a waterfront boardwalk. Or you can head right and have four or five restaurants, three bars, a brewery, and several cozy coffee
shops to choose from.I’m used to cruising and spending
most of the daylight hours enjoying the sail to our destination. It was pretty wild this time to finish sailing before 9am. We had all day to explore this little Norwegian hamlet and with no schedule to follow, we took off our watches, turned off our phones, and let our noses lead the way to a breakfast treat. At the Fat Apple Bakery, we shed our sailing gear, enjoyed a hot cup of coffee, and I had some great biscuits and gravy.
We made a solid effort to try every coffee shop in the few blocks that make up downtown. Poulsbohemian won favorite stop of the trip. Just up a small hill from the marina, they had tasty coffee and a seating area overlooking Liberty Bay. Longship Marine was close by and their aisles of used and discount marine gear had me wishing I’d brought a list of everything I wanted for Shaula because I’m pretty sure it was all there.
The new Maritime Museum across the street caught our attention next and we were warmly invited to check out the exhibits about the history of Poulsbo and its maritime connections. They are busy expanding the museum and told us to visit again in six months to see their
planned additions. Continuing our wandering around town, we found the Slippery Pig brewery. This is basically right in front of the marina – you can see the sign from the dock. It was a pleasure to find such a close-by, comfortable place to grab a pint and enjoy awesome, inexpensive tamales while we watched the rain and wind all afternoon.
It was a pretty wet weekend overall. Maybe not the best conditions for spending a full day in an open cockpit, but one “resolution” I made for the new year was to get Shaula off the dock and overnight somewhere at least once each month. Winter weather in the Northwest brings a lot of variables, and with a mix of schedules between Anna and myself, this weekend fell into place and we stuck with the plans despite the weather. I recently finished a lexan slider top for the dodger on the boat, which allowed us to keep the boat open in the rain, and let Jay Jay the boat cat check in once his nemesis the diesel engine was turned off. Shaula has a Dickinson wood stove which does a wonderful job of keeping the cabin around seventy degrees underway. Mix that with a warm drink and it’s pretty easy to stay happy while on the water during winter. A cockpit bimini is also getting larger on my project radar and would be a great addition for crew morale.
We spent the rest of the first day checking out the eclectic small shops that are all beautifully decorated in Scandinavian architecture and scenes. We stopped by Liberty Bay Books and found another brewery, Valholl. This small brewery just behind Poulsbo’s main drag is a great little spot. It’s filled

with locals who all seem to be friends, watching the game and passing around a regular’s baby. They had a delicious IPA. We each ordered two.
I thoroughly enjoy taking a liveaboard boat out cruising. My house and all my stuff comes along and I have everything I need to be comfortable on and off the water. Extra jackets? Done. Fully stocked galley with the spices that are always missing on a charter boat? Yep. It’s all there, plus when I hop inside and fire up the woodstove, it’s like being in a log cabin. We whipped up a simple, yet incredibly filling dinner and sat together rehashing our favorite coffee shops and wondering what the weather was going to be like for the ride home the next day.
Day two in Poulsbo started with heavy rain falling on the forward hatch. It’s super hard to leave a warm bed and a cat who just wants to snuggle when gloom surrounds the boat, but we managed to escape and soon found ourselves sitting at Cups Espresso enjoying some breakfast sammys and coffee. Then we went to complete our Poulsbo experiences at Sluy’s Bakery. Do not pass this by! I’ve had a few maple bars in my life, but the one I had there was insane! If you are craving more than one little donut, you can get a Viking donut--about eight times the size of a typical one.
Throughout the day, I was looking pretty closely at the weather. I allowed myself to turn on my phone three times a day and check the latest NOAA weather report and forecast, which called for 15-25 knots in Puget Sound and Hood Canal all day with a small craft advisory attached. I also closely watched West Point Buoy and Washington State Ferry Weather for
actual reports. Despite the strong wind forecasts these sites only showed 10-20 knots. This eased my worries about getting back across the Sound without beating up Shaula. The max ebb through Agate Pass was my other interest, and with a big flow out at almost 2pm, we had most of the day to hang out and explore.
After a quick walk up and over the hill to the “other” side of town, we headed back to Slippery Pig for a Kingsman Red Ale to wait for the Poulsbo Marine Science Center to open at 11am. While Anna checked out the tidepools full of starfish and crabs attacking each other, I watched the staff try to feed a six foot long eel some squid. It was fun, informative, and best of all had a salmon pillow I could lay on while watching the short films there, all for free!
The Science Center was a hit, then it was time to grab lunch. We dropped by The Loft for a quick bite and gobbled up the delicious food before heading back to Shaula. I was finally getting in the rhythm of cruising and now it was time to head back….
The engine fired up easily and we got a few sails ready to go in case the wind came aft of the bow. The slips in Poulsbo have short finger piers which made it easy to rotate around and head out back towards Shilshole. The rain came and went. By the time we were at Point Bolin and entering Agate Pass, the staysail and main were set and the engine was off. We might have motored to Poulsbo in the darkness and rain, but heading home we had a perfect 10-15 knots with a beautiful sunset as we sailed back across the Sound towards home.
It was great to get Shaula off the

dock again and test out some of the changes I made since the last time out. Picking Poulsbo as our destination was the perfect choice. At only around three hours away with restaurants, bars, and shops just a few feet away from the marina, I would go back again any day. Liberty Bay is also perfectly protected for anchoring; a great option for alone time if you want to avoid the marina atmosphere. Even if you anchor out, the dinghy dock at the marina, offers easy access to town. I’d love to go back in the spring before the height of summer cruising to see the trees in bloom, catch a live concert in the park, see what changes the maritime museum has, and bring that giant list of boat jewelry I want to get for Shaula. See you soon!

It was a dark and stormy night. But, that part comes later.
It was late. The high season was over. Most sailors had quit the San Juan Islands and gone home to cruise more local waters. So it was a surprise to us that the north cove on Jones Island was filled to capacity when we sailed in looking for a place for the night.
We arrived at mid-day after motoring from Reid Harbor on Stuart Island through fog so dense we could barely see beyond our bow. On our way to Jones, we spent an hour being tossed and spun about by powerful currents flowing through quarter-mile-wide New Channel on the north side of Spieden. Those conditions raise the tension level, so we were looking forward to tucking into a calm and secure spot on Jones.
But that wasn’t to be. As we angled into the north cove through the mist, it was obvious that the place was full. My first thought was, ‘where did all these people come from, when Stuart was practically a ghost island?’ Whatever the reason, there was no room for us.
With hearts set on hiking the trails of Jones Island, we decided to take a look at the south cove. Midway through Spring Passage, like the parting of the Red Sea, the fog ended as if it had hit a wall. The south side of the island was all blue skies and sunshine. And as luck would have it, all three State Park mooring buoys were empty. How do you say Nirvana?
We picked the middle buoy, caught the ring on our first attempt, snugged the line to our bow cleat, and gave each other a high-five to celebrate
another successful landing. Not long after our arrival, three red kayaks glided through, exploring the cove and making a slow recon of the empty beach. Onshore, a couple set up a tent in the camping area. Close by, a seal beat the water to froth after capturing a salmon for dinner. From a driftwood tree on the beach, a bald eagle stood sentry over his cove. Life doesn’t get much better.
We hopped into the dinghy and went ashore to fill out the State Park permit, stepping ashore like castaways where no other footprints could be seen. After completing the paperwork, we cruised the shoreline surrounded by the kind of scenery that belongs on a movie poster. It was one of those perfect days that feeds our passion for sailing the Pacific Northwest. Nothing
Belt and Suspenders Staying Put on a Mooring

about that afternoon gave cause for concern about the nasty weather that was gradually sneaking up on us.
The weather radio idly mentioned a minor front moving through the area, but it wasn’t predicted to rage, so we felt safe enough, especially because the island shielded us from the prevailing north wind. The early darkness of winter fell over us. We settled in for the evening, enjoyed our dinner, and Becky was in the process of beating me unmercifully at a game of cribbage when the wind began to howl through the rigging. The boat bucked a little, swinging around the buoy on our mooring tether. As the system moved through, the wind pivoted around to the southeast, exactly the worst direction for our moorage.
At times like that, my senses go on full alert listening and feeling for anything unusual in the way the boat is responding. So far, the motion of the boat was steady and felt secure. But later that evening, something quietly nagged at the back of my mind, so I told Becky I was going on deck to check things out.
We both dressed in jackets and
PFDs, and with flashlight in hand Becky followed me to the cockpit. There she stood watch as I carefully made my way forward, the wind tearing at my coat. The thing that was pestering me was the fact that our entire existence depended on a single set of mooring hardware — one deck cleat, one line, one snap hook. Everything on our boat is oversized, but still it was only one system. If any component failed, we would end up on the rocks.
The solution was obvious — if for nothing more than peace of mind, I needed to link the boat to the mooring buoy with a second line. I decided to use one of our bow docklines, connected to a separate cleat. Using the boat hook and my massive strength (ha!), I snagged the buoy ring and pulled it up enough
to pass the dockline through and back to the bow. I played out enough rope so the primary mooring line took all the weight, and the dockline was merely a backup to keep us connected to the buoy in case the primary line failed.
Back in the cabin, Becky finished me off in the cribbage game, and I barely escaped without getting skunked. But despite the resounding defeat, I could smile and relax knowing that our belt and suspenders approach to mooring in a storm would keep us safe.
That dark and stormy night helped us decide that it would be prudent to have redundant primary mooring lines with strong stainless steel snap hooks, so we aren’t relying on a dockline passed through a metal ring that might cause chafe.
Never knowing for sure what the weather is going to do in the middle of the night, we now always hook up both mooring lines … then we can sleep peacefully. Belt and suspenders.

We live in the age of connectivity and that has certainly become a part of marine electronics. There was a time we went cruising with only a plastic sextant and depth sounder. Now, with the flip of a switch, you have the possibility of knowing your position, the position of other vessels (without
the use of radar), the tides, and a list of other things that would go on over the horizon if we continued. The icing on the cake is that it can all be wireless. There was a time when you might put repeaters for some instruments at the chart table or in a cabin, but now you can have it anywhere you have an IPad
or tablet - even up on the foredeck. Of course, there is a balance between having more information about more aspects of your boat and surroundings and looking at a display instead of looking where you are going.
The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) began in 1957.
In the early 80s, NMEA created a uniform interface standard to allow electronics from different manufacturers to talk to each other; that was NMEA 0183 and its predecessors. This has been followed by NMEA 2000 (N2K) which is the standard today. This standard is the subject of this month’s article.
Before we complicate what can be a very simple network installation on many small boats, let’s give a few basic guidelines. A network can be as simple as one display and a sensor. That could look like (2) backbone tees, (2) terminators, (1) power tap tee, (2) drop cables of less than 6m of length, and (1) power cable (Figure 1). This is not only a simple network, but it is simple to add devices to it - just add (1) backbone tee and (1) drop cable per device and you are set. One thing to remember is that the drop
cable and the device always connect to the top of the tee unless there is a special terminator fitting involved. You can keep going like this for a while, but after 3 or 4 devices you need to analyze the network before you continue going forward. What follows is to aid you in that pursuit. (You will notice that the
lengths are all given in meters rather than feet. Voltage drop calculations will be made easier by this.)
The central player in any larger system is the multi-function display as most everything else should be able to be displayed on it via N2K. There are exceptions, and the most obvious are radar or sonar. You used to buy things like a depth sounder or boat speed indicator, etc., but now you can buy a sensor and the information will display on your multi-function display.
There are three different sizes of cables used in the N2K network: Mini, Mid, and Micro. The smallest, Micro, is the most common, coming with most electronics you will buy. There are guidelines for the lengths of cables. The length of combined cables and connectors between electrical devices and terminators must not be more than 250m for Mini or Mid cables, or 100m for Micro cables. This can be measured from one terminator to the other, or to the last device if that is farther from the last backbone tee (Figure 2, page 47). You need to add up all the length of your drop cables and make sure that the number is less than 78m; also, no one of them can be longer than 6m. You cannot daisy chain devices off a drop cable, but you can use a multi-port box or multi-tap tee to avoid more tees and drop cables. The maximum number of devices on a N2K network is 50.
The power can be connected to the network with a tee at either end of the backbone, referred to as an unbalanced system, or in the middle, known as a balanced system. Small networks will not suffer much voltage drop from being unbalanced, but a network with lots of devices should be balanced. You can calculate the voltage drop with this formula: E (voltage drop) = 0.1 x LEN (explained below) x L x 0.057 (Micro) or 0.016 (Mid / Mini)
If the drop is less than 1.5v, you can use an unbalanced system. If the drop is 1.5v to 3v, the power tap

Figure 1: This is a basic system: “A” is a male terminator. “B” are (3) backbone tees. The center one is the power tap. The left tee is connected to a device, a sensor in this example, via “D”, a drop cable. The drop cable “F” goes to the other devise in the network - probably a display. The terminator “C” is female because the tees are the opposite gender at both ends of the backbone side of the tee. Backbone and drop cables also have gender opposite ends. If you want to separate the
tees, insert a backbone cable.

should be as close as possible to the middle of the network. The ‘middle’, or balanced system in this case, does not mean an equal number of devices on each side of the power tap. It means the sum of the LEN numbers and the length of the cables, then divided by 2. LEN = Load Equivalent Number, and one LEN = 50mA. The LEN number should be printed on the device and in the manufacturer’s documentation. There is a maximum LEN for cable types (Figure 3, page 46). The power cable must be fused at 3 Amps for Micro and 8 Amps for Mid and Mini cables. It is possible to mix cable types and sizes, but this may require plug adapters. The power wires in the Mid and Mini cables are bigger than the Micro cables, and, therefore, have less resistance, so less voltage drop. This can be a solution if your calculation comes out over 1.5v. Also, you can add a second or third power tap as long as you do not violate any grounding or shielding rules. That rule is one ground point and one shield wire connection to that point. At this address online you will find free software called N2K Builder that will enable you to build a virtual network to give you confidence that your design works before you start buying cables and fitting: http://www.maretron.com/support/n2kb_downloadform.php
Electrically there is no mystery with N2K systems - the cables include
five wires with a shield (drain or screen) within a single waterproof jacket. These 5 wires are as follows: two signal wires, the power wires (the ground, known as the negative, and the positive), and a shield wire (Figure 4). The shield is to keep external Radio
Frequency (RF) interference away from the signal wires and reduces RF from radiating out from the N2K network. Some manufacturers have their own version of N2K; this gives them the possibility to make some of their legacy gear compatible with new gear
Figure 2: Maximum measurement of terminator to terminator or devices: Measure the length of the backbone plus the distance to the last device at each end of the network, or, to the terminator if it is farther from the end tee than the device. In this case, terminator “E” is mounted directly on the left backbone tee. The 4m drop cable “A” is therefore longer, and drop cable “D” with device “G” is longer than the 2m backbone between the right tee and terminator “C”. The sum of 4m + 15m + 6m= 25m which is well below the maximum.
Figure 4: Cables and plugs: “A” is a cross section of a NMEA 2000 cable, and “B” is an image of that cable. “C” is a Mini Female plug schematic showing wire color and the numbers that are displayed on the plug. “D” is a Micro Mid Female plug.

while still being N2K compliant. An example of this is SeaTalk NG cables which may have a 6th wire so they may communicate with SeaTalk1, which is similar to 0183. The SeaTalk NG cable’s locking collar is on the device, resulting in a smaller diameter and a better ability to pass through tight places.
We recommend that you treat the power input for the network as a critical load and use a wire size with 3% or less voltage drop. In order to maintain sufficient voltage in the network, you need to start out with as high as possible voltage at the power injection point in the network. If you are running this wire to a switch out in the cockpit and back to a Micro backbone, this could easily mean 12 AWG wire if the total circuit to the source is 50’. It might be better to keep the wire run as short as possible by putting a relay in the circuit if you need to control it from a remote location. As we wrote above, the network will work if there is no more than 1.5 volts difference between any two devices. As the network grows in the number of devices, move the power tap to the center of the backbone load. For this reason, sailboats present
a special situation as the mast length is as long as or longer than the entire boat. This means mounting a N2K compatible wind sensor at the top of the mast would break the 6m (20’) drop cable rule. The answer is to run a backbone cable up the mast and use an inline terminator which allows you to connect directly on the end of the backbone, terminating the backbone at that point. This means the power tap should probably be somewhere close to the base of the mast with the long cable run - this is a good use of low resistance Mid/Mini cable - and the LEN of the sensor being one side of the network and the rest of the devices and cables being the other. You would calculate both sides of the network and move the power tap accordingly - especially as you add devices.
Your network must only be grounded at one place in your electrical system; this should be the negative of your supply voltage which is also where the shield/drain will connect. That means the shield wire only connects at this one place.
There are some cool new sensors waiting for you at your local chandlery.
Some examples: 1.) A wind speed/wind direction/air temp/humidity mast head sensor with no moving parts. 2.) A boat speed/depth/water temp all-in-one thru hull fitting. 3.) An ultrasonic boat speed sensor with a tenth-of-a-knot accuracy and no paddle wheel or other moving parts.
Some multi-function displays may have input connections for both NMEA 0183 and 2000. Usually this means that the signals will be converted to N2K, but not necessarily the other direction. There are also various NMEA 0183 to 2000 bridges or converters that can, for instance, give an older auto pilot a second chance, and also PC interfaces that allow you to monitor all the data on the network for diagnostic purposes.
This sounds complicated, and it is, but 90% of small boat installations only require the simple installation from paragraph two. Give that a second read. You can do it!

48°N: Charley, many sailors will recognize you as the guy on the committee boat but I’m not sure how many really know you. Schelleen a lot of sailors might not know you. Will you take a minute and introduce yourselves to the 48° North readers?
Charley Rathkopf (CR): Well, let me frame that within the committee boat. I moved to Seattle in ‘97, so I’ve been here almost 20 years. I grew up sailing. I saw the marina out here, and I just had to find out what evening they sailed out here, and that’s how I wound up at CYC. After sailing and racing out here for three or four years, I tore my ACL skiing with my skipper. I had been sailing a Star with Jed Miller. So, I got it repaired and wasn’t sailing for a year. That year, Dan Carpenter took over as Professional Race Officer at CYC. I started volunteering on the race committee, and kept doing it even after my knee healed. That was also around the time that US Sailing was trying to step up race management around the country with seminars, so I took their seminar. When Dan left CYC, I had my certification and just stepped into his old role. When we started the family, it was a great opportunity because we could all be on the race committee boat together. Schelleen and I did it together, and the kids were always on the boat. We used to have a swing on the back of the boat and we had the pack and play and that kind of stuff. I do miss sailing now, but I get some opportunities. About the only racing I did last year was the Center Sound Series.
You grew up sailing - what does that mean for you?
CR: I grew up in Florida, and we had a house on the Intracoastal Waterway. I started racing at nine on a little boat called a Swift, which was like a miniature Sunfish, and then Sunfish, Hobie Cats, and windsurfers. I think I bought my first windsurfer the day after I got my drivers license and put it on the roof of the old Plymouth station wagon. I remember going to high school with a Hobie cat behind the car and two windsurfers on top like, “Ok, when school’s out, I’m going sailing!” I didn’t really race any keelboats until I graduated from college, which I did with people I had raced Hobie Cats
with around the state who eventually bought keelboats. So, that was the beginning of my “lead poisoning.”
How about you Schelleen? Schelleen Rathkopf (SR): I learned
to sail when I was in high school - small boats, Lasers. Then, I spent three summers up at Malibu Club in Canada teaching kids how to sail at camp, and loved that. That was all through college, and I would go back every summer and do sail camps. When I graduated, I moved back to Seattle and got involved on Lake Washington sailing J/24s with an old boyfriend, and got the bug for racing there. I took some sailing courses at Mount Baker Rowing and Sailing. And then, I had taken to Mountain Climbing. I’d gotten away from the sailing boyfriend, and got into mountain climbing in the 90s. I was involved in all kinds of really cool climbs, and eventually went to Mount Everest as the Sponsor Coordinator for the Mallory Irvine Expedition. I spent three months on Mount Everest fulfilling our sponsor contracts for this particular expedition. When I came
back, I was 36 and ready to figure out next steps. I wasn’t interested in anything but finding family. Charley and I met that summer that I got back from Everest. I’d had enough with altitude at that point and I was ready to come back to sea level and stay for a while.
When you were on Everest, did you go any higher than Basecamp?
SR: I went as high as Advanced Basecamp, which is 21,000’. It was crazy. Absolutely spectacular, but crazy. It was the best experience of my life. I love hiking and being in the mountains - that’s kind of my happy place - so being on Everest taught me a lot.
Have you ever had a day on the water that felt harsher than life at altitude?
SR: No. There was one time before we had children that Charley and I sailed the Southern Straits Race [Editor’s comment: if it was harsh, of course it would be that race!]. I can remember sitting on the rail being completely exhilarated
Charley and Schelleen Rathkopf48° North Interview
By Joe ClineAfter managing the race committee for Penn Cove’s busiest week of the summer for over a decade, Charley and Schelleen Rathkopf made a big change in 2015, taking over the ownership and operation of
Whidbey Island Race Week.

looking at these stars that were as clear as they were on Everest, but being so damn cold. On Everest, you could hunker down in your tent. On the rail, I couldn’t get warmed up. So that experience felt colder, but not harsher.
It sounds like you guys each got into sailing at a young age. Tell us about your sailing interests now.
CR: I’d like to get back into racing the Star, but I’m a little bit out of shape, and that takes exercise and practice. It’s hard to find the time to be a good crew with all of life’s commitments as well as all the race management. So, right now, I’m happy doing an occasional Thursday night and racing on some big boats. That’s one of the things that winds up being really cool about the race committee. I get to put together a team, just like on a sailboat. I get to be in charge, and build a team, and teach them what’s going on. But we don’t ever have to worry about losing.
SR: We went through some really interesting challenges with the children [Arden (10) and Grace (7)]. Of course, they grew up on the race committee boat, hearing the screams and yells from the racers at the start line, hearing the bells and whistles of the starting sequences. Racing kind of freaked them out. They’ve gotten to an age where they could be out racing Optis, but they’re kind of intimidated by the sport. That’s been an interesting awakening for us. We thought that having them see racing, both big boats and dinghies, would inspire them to want to do it themselves. But, it didn’t. They’ve both grown up with a
healthy respect that racing is not just fun and games, that it’s fairly intense. So, we bought a sailboat last year: Isara. She’s a San Juan 28, and she’s absolutely lovely. The kids and I made a promise, though, that we would never race her. She would be for cruising only. I wanted them to see what sailing was when it didn’t involve the intensity of the start line and racing - being
out on the water, finding beauty in their surrounds and seeing Orcas. We did a trip to Marrowstone Island, and we’ve done some local cruising. Our favorite so far is just a quick overnight over to Kingston. It’s a small chunk to bite off. For kids, it’s perfect. I think both of them are appreciating this kind of sailing.
How does that inform you, as owners and operators of a sailboat racing event, in terms of bringing new people or kids in?
SR: What it’s done for me is made me realize, through my children, that people are fairly intimidated by the sport. We need to think about offering some kind of program that helps people develop their skills - which is what
racing does: going around the course, the up and down of the sails, and working as a team - in a non-stressful environment. We’ve been doing this for so long, and we’ve seen so many people age in the sport. In order to get that next generation of sailboat racers, it’s important to think about who that next generation is. When you’re introducing someone to a sport, you get them to love it first and then you can get them in to the next level.
Do you have any specific plans to serve that perspective?
CR: We’re trying to figure out what we can do to facilitate a cruising class that’s less intense. We’re toying with some ideas like rally racing or a pursuit, so cruisers and newcomers can come and be part of the Whidbey Island Race Week (WIRW) experience, but not necessarily be in the middle of 100 boats crammed onto two square miles on Penn Cove.
You guys are proud new owners, with one event under your belts. So, how did you come to own WIRW?
SR: I’d say it really started at the bar with Bob Ross, and I’m holding a newborn.
CR: When Bob was ready to sell WIRW, he came to us at that point. He basically said, “do you guys want to do this?” That was 2007. Arden was almost two. It was before we had Grace. Schelleen had just started a new
Schelleen and daughter, Grace, on their San Juan 28, “Isara.”

job at Cornish. It just wasn’t the right time in our lives. So, Gary Stuntz took it on. He was so involved in the sailing community here. When we heard that Gary was feeling like he’d had his run and was ready to give it up, our family situation had changed. It made a whole lot more sense to get involved with it now. Grace is in first grade now, so last year she’d just started school full time, so it gave Schelleen a flexible schedule and more time to work on it. And, with her background in sponsor procurement and event production, it was a really good fit. She runs the business and does all the sponsorship stuff, and I get to do the fun stuff like going sailing and trying to convince people to come, and then I run the race on the water.
SR: And that happened in 2014. CR: We actually made the deal
with Gary the April before WIRW 2014.
So you knew a change was coming during WIRW 2014, but the public didn’t. That way, you had more than a year to do your own planning.
CR: Right. The first thing we did, starting in May, was put together
an advisory board with some race committee volunteers, Oak Harbor Yacht Club members, and some sailors with long histories of the event from around Seattle. We met once a month to say, “how are we going to shape this?” That was SO valuable to us. We weren’t thinking we had all the answers. To have their feedback and to have them as ambassadors for WIRW really helped. The advisory board includes active local racers like Charlie McAuley, Leslie Keller, Phil Wise. It also includes Larry Munns, who is a former Naval Officer and is President of Oak Harbor Youth Sailing; Byron Skubi, who’s also involved in Oak Harbor Youth Sailing and raced every WIRW but one until he sold his boat in 2009; and Avis Berney, Vice Commodore at Oak Harbor Yacht Club.
For you, as head of the race committee at WIRW, what are the keys to success for you guys keeping it all together and providing a great experience?
SR: Up at WIRW, the race committee that has been developed up there is 17-20 people, the same people
for almost 10 years. It’s a well-oiled machine. We’re not teaching people how to do race committee at WIRW any more.
CR: A lot of it is having the experience in the venue. This will be my fourteenth year being PRO at WIRW, and I volunteered for Dan for five years before that. I’ve been at WIRW every year since I’ve come to Seattle, either racing or race committee. So I pretty much have the venue figured out. Then it’s about understanding the mechanics of the race and having the rules in place so that we don’t make a mistake that will ruin somebody’s event. We’re providing a service. This is one of the messages I try to get across. Our customers are the racers, and if we don’t provide a good service, they’re not going to come back. And then the sport we all love and want to grow is going to struggle. It’s a cooperative effort.
Tell me about your early experiences of WIRW? What things that made you like it and be invested enough in it that you were the people to talk to even back in 2007?

CR: I sailed three years on an Olson 30, and one on a Melges 24. So, whether we’re sailing or on the committee boat, we just love it. In my early years, I was up there as a volunteer and as a Whaler driver one year. We took over the race management the same year that I took over for Dan at CYC. I was like, “Holy moly, I’m in charge of the whole thing and if I screw it up, it’s going to be bad!” It was a little nerve-wracking.
SR: I think that Bob and Stan saw that there was some decline in participation, and realized that the resurgence was going to come from bringing in the next generation. Honestly, I think that’s what drew us to them and them to us. Not only did we know racing and how to manage the race course, but we had the vision that if this is going to continue, it’s probably going to have to change a little bit. We saw that we needed to start bringing in the kids and the people who have just learned how to sail. We have to find the balance between serious racing and a good time.
Is Dinghies Whidbey Island happening this year?
CR: We’re not doing dinghies this year, unfortunately. There may be a work around, though.
SR: The dinghies weekend was cost prohibitive. We didn’t get the turnout to offset the event rental. But, we are doing a three-day option this year. That’s something new for WIRW 2016. If there’s a one-design fleet with eight or more boats, we would consider doing a Monday – Wednesday or a Wednesday – Friday.
CR: As the organizing authority, I’d have to change the Notice of Race to make it legal. But if a dinghy class was interested in coming for three days, F18s for example, we would give them a class and a start.
SR: Ultimately, we had to fine tune and figure out what our focus is going forward. For us, the focus was things like kids camp, which is amazing, and it’s the five-day event, or the potential three-day option.
You’re talking a lot about the evolution of WIRW. What are some of the other changes and improvements?
CR: Some of the changes we made for 2015 were such huge successes but
were such small things, like having picnic tables and high top tables to make the party more comfortable. Hopefully people will think, ‘yeah there’s great sailing, but it’s kind of like going to concert each night, too.’ Schelleen has already booked all of the bands this year. We’re actually expanding the party by a half hour because we found that the daily trophies were taking too much of the band’s time.
SR: I love music. We have concentrated a lot on booking really good bands. We put a lot of priority on that post race party – the music, the late night movies (we’re doing Rocky Horror Picture Show). We want people like us, who got off the water and carried the kids around, to know that we have a place for them.
CR: That influenced some of the other little things we’ve done. For example, we expanded the event boundary so it included the playground. It seems like nothing, but now, if you’re a parent at WIRW, your kid can play and you can have your drink or eat your food while you’re watching them. We also added some lawn games like Corn Hole.

SR: Another big change is the addition of a spectator boat, the schooner Suva. That was a big deal. We wanted to incorporate the public - spouses, friends, family, and the residents around Oak Harbor – who wonder what WIRW is all about. They could buy a ticket and get front row seats. Charley would jump on the boat every day to give a little context to what’s happening and what they’re seeing. Every spectator cruise sold out.
And tell us about the Kids Camp.We’re excited to be bringing back
the same director for 2016 that was there in 2015. She’s a public school teacher, Tricia Lepse. What really worked in the Kids Camp was all the activities. It was an eight-hour five-day camp that included island outings and sailboat training. We had two US Sailing certified instructors who taught kids three or four hours a day. They went to Camp Casey, the tide flats, and they painted ceramic sailboats. They did a cruise on Suva to see their parents racing. Last year, we had twelve kids. We’re aiming for twenty kids this year.
CR: I was on the water and didn’t get to see much of what they were up to, but the best thing about Kids Camp to me was coming back after racing and seeing all the kids in their Kids Camp t-shirts chasing after each other and running through the party and around the playground. The parents signed the kids out of the program, but the kids kept playing together.
SR: The sign-in/sign-out was a part of the party. So, the kids were still part of the event even after their parents had picked them up, though obviously a bit separate from the bars and the heart of the party. And, since the kids were still playing together, more parents got to enjoy the party with their crew. We think it worked amazingly well to include kids and family in the party without really changing the experience of the majority of people who don’t have kids at WIRW.
As new owners, I imagine it’s easy to get consumed by the changes and what’s going to be different. But, I think people expect WIRW to be a consistent experience year after year. Can you describe for me what you see as quintessential to WIRW? What
things that have always been true about WIRW will still remain true under your leadership?
CR: Certainly the on-the-water racing. Over the last ten or twelve years, we’ve gotten pretty dialed at getting enough races in that all the classes get 10, 12, 14 races scored for the week. The party has always been fun, and will always be fun. Plus, you have a large portion of the sailing community in the Pacific Northwest coming together in one place. There are friends who you might only see once a year. We’re trying to grow the community as the demographics shift. You hear people talk about how CRAZY the parties were in the 80s. Well a lot of those same people still come to WIRW, but now they ARE 80. The continuity is the camaraderie and the great sailing.
SR: We’re continuing to offer “adult summer camp,” and we want to maintain that environment. But in addition to that, we’re offering more to bring in the next generation.
What advice would you give someone who’s thinking about coming to WIRW for the first time?
SR: Life is short; how often can you go do your sport for an entire week? Don’t be intimidated. WIRW has something for everyone. Come with the expectation for a really fun summer vacation. Come with an open mind and have a really good time.
CR: From the sailor’s point of view, it’s amazing how much you can learn and how much better you can get when you go out five days in a row. Most of the sailing that’s done in our region is a day here, a day there, maybe a weekend. If you have to figure out who has to pull in the guy before the tweaker goes on, you might miss it on Monday but you won’t miss it on Friday. I also think newcomers should know that more people doesn’t make it scarier, it makes it more fun. Fun is what it’s all about.
WIRW aside, what does 2016 hold for you sailing-wise?
CR: We’ll do a little more cruising, probably with the CYC Cruising Group.
SR: We’ve been CYC members for a long time, but we’ve never been involved with the cruising group. We’re excited about that.
CR: I’ll probably try to sail Center Sound and the Sloop Tavern Blakely Rock Benefit. I’ll also do a bit more race management out of the area – various events at Tacoma and Anacortes Yacht Clubs. And, I’m working on getting my National Race Officer certification from US Sailing. I’m going to be PRO for J/Fest at St. Francis Yacht Club in April, where I’ll be working with a few certified National Race Officers. It should be a great year.

To the earliest computer programmers, to “hack” wasn’t evil. A hack is just a cleverly unconventional use of conventional software or standard hardware. In that spirit, here are three hacks to make your next charter easier: painter’s tape, glow sticks, and an old-fashioned rag mop.
Painter’s tape Besides your rigging knife and
sailing gloves, stuff a roll of blue painter’s tape into your duffel bag. And a black sharpie pen. I learned this hack in a sail-trimming class. When trimming the genoa on a charter boat that’s new to you, mark the spot on the jib sheet track where the car holds the clew at the best angle for that point of sail. Stick a piece of blue painter’s tape on the deck or on the adjacent cabin side to mark each position: close-hauled, reaching, running. Then write a note on the tape with the sharpie
pen. On a boat with a roller furling main, use the same hack to mark the boom for your preferred reefing positions. One strip of tape for your first reef, two strips for the second reef. That way, even your less experienced crew will know how deep to reef the main.
My blue tape and sharpie also came in handy on a recent Southern California charter to Santa Catalina Island. Because our charter boat was well worn, some of the labels were missing from the rope clutches mounted on top of the cabin. Rather than try to remember which clutch was missing which label, each time we rolled out the mainsail or adjusted the traveler, I just tore off a piece of my blue tape and wrote a temporary label with my black pen.
Our boat’s aft head lacked flushing instructions. As a man of a certain age, the last thing I
want to worry about when getting up at night with a full bladder in a dark and unfamiliar boat is the sequence of pump handles. Avoiding nocturnal fumbling, I posted a few strips of blue tape with my own hand-lettered advice. When we returned the boat to Long Beach three days later, I simply pulled off the blue tape strips. Engineered to help painters achieve sharp lines without marring underlying surfaces, the painter’s tape left no trace on the charter boat’s varnish or fiberglass.
Glow SticksComing back from a long evening
at Potter’s-By-The-Sea restaurant on Anegada Island in the British Virgin Islands, all white charter boats look the same in the dark. While our dinghy driver hadn’t been drinking (very much), as our bow lookout I was having trouble finding our boat. What saved us from buzzing about the dark mooring field were the three glow sticks hanging from our boat’s boom. Packing at home, I had stashed a couple of packs of six-inch glow sticks in my duffel bag.
Each evening, before we shoved off for dinner ashore, I squeezed two or three sticks to get them glowing and then hung them by their built-in hooks from a boom reefing line. Green-white-green was our boat’s signal and we got home safely just before the rain started. Two more bits of advice.

Essential Hack Gear: painter’s tape, glow stick, and a rag mop.
55 www.48North.com February 2016
First, don’t hang a red glow stick and a green glow stick so that another skipper could mistake them for navigation lights. I hang three sticks in some pattern that can’t be confused for a vessel underway. Second, take down your private signal once you’re back aboard. There’s no sense luring other dinghy drivers to your transom.
Rag MopMy third hack is the unconventional
use of the lowly rag mop, bought at al-most any grocery or hardware store for about $15. No, I don’t stuff a mop into my duffle bag. Instead we wait to buy our trusty mop when we provision at the charter base. I learned this hack from Roger Van Dyken, who owns San Juan Sailing in Bellingham. When we boarded in May 2014, there was a rag mop laying on the cabin top. I thought that Roger’s boat cleaners had for-gotten it, but learned that every boat in his charter fleet comes equipped with a mop. Should it roll off the cabin top when the boat heels, he’ll gladly buy another.
Hack the rag mop by turning it upside down and the handle becomes an excellent tool for safely prodding
anchor chain into a proper pile in the locker as the windlass hauls the anchor. Crew should never stick their hands down into the chain locker while the windlass is active. But the best hack for a rag mop is to use the handle as an axel when running a spool of line to the shore for a stern-tie. Simply run the mop handle through the spool’s center and then put it over the stern seats or on the transom. Let your crew pull out the line smoothly as they head for shore in the dinghy. In the morning, retrieving the untied stern line at Butchart Cove or Inati Bay means just re-rolling the spool with your hands.
The next time you hear someone complain about teenage computer hackers from some former Soviet republic, remember the word’s
original meaning. Sailors can use ordinary items for extraordinary purposes. After all, to hack is human.
In between charter trips with his wife and sailing buddies, Peter Detwiler day-sails on San Francisco Bay.
Rag mops: not just for cleaning anymore, though that’s what’s happening here in Butchart Cove.

Fisheries Supply again joins 48° North in recognizing the high level of racing here in the Pacific Northwest. Tracking the racing results of selected series from Olympia, Washington to Vancouver, B.C., our Top 25 rewards not just the occasional bullet, but participation and consistent, top-notch sailing.
This year, William Weinstein‘s Riptide 35, Terremoto, took our coveted #1 spot on the Top 25 list. Congratulations to William and his crew, they took First Place in each of their five scored events!
New in 2015, we added Sloop Tavern YC Blakely Rock Benefit Race, Corinthian YC Pacific Northwest One Design (P.O.D.), and Orcas Island YC/Friday Harbor Sailing Club Round the County Race, to the usual following nine major sailing events: South Sound Sailing Society Southern Sound Series, Corinthian YC Center Sound Series, Seattle YC Tri-Island Series, Corinthian YC Puget Sound Sailing Regatta, West Vancouver YC Southern Straits Classic, Royal Victoria YC Swiftsure International Yacht Race, Whidbey Island Race Week, Bellingham YC PITCH Regatta and Corinthian YC Puget Sound Sailing Championship. With a mix of distance and multi-race regattas, these twelve races make for a good representation of Northwest
racing. See the 2016 SARC calendar on page 65. For 2015 we also used the new scoring system.
Boats were scored on a percentage basis (depending on the size of the class), with an average of your best five of the listed events. Event scores were from 0% (did not finish) to 100% (first in class), where the event score = (finishers – position + 1) / finishers. Ties were broken by incrementally adding more events, or left to stand if necessary. Unlike previous years, there was no minimum number of races required to qualify. If a boat completed fewer than five races, they were scored the same “as did not finish.” We will use the same scoring system in 2016.
Our goal is to celebrate participation and consistent top-end sailing. Each boat earned her spot in our list based upon her performance in regattas under varied sailing conditions. Our hats are off not only to all the outstanding skippers and crews who make our Top 25 2015 list, but to all of you out there racing our challenging Northwest waters.
This year’s 48° North/ Fisheries Supply Top 25 skippers may pick up their award at our 48° North booth during the Seattle Boat Show at CenturyLink Exhibition Hall, booth West #24, or pick up their award at the office in February.

Some of my fondest memories growing up were sailing with my
dad and the crew of White Squall. It wasn’t about winning, but having fun and spending time with my extended “boat family.” Eating mildly warm beef stew out of mug and sleeping aboard the night before the race were all part of the experience. Fewer and fewer junior sailors come from sailing families or have access to boats outside of class hours. That means most of today’s young sailors never get to enjoy sailing with their parents. While that’s a troubling sign for the long term health
of our sport, there are plenty of junior sailing programs trying to reverse this trend and get families on the water together again.
To the increasingly busy American family, junior sailing is often just one more stop on the minivan’s route to work. At the end of the day, sailors are whisked away, perhaps changing in the car as the family rushes Suzy to her soccer game. At the end of the week- long “learn to sail” program, little Suzy goes home and puts her completion certificate on the refrigerator. There it hangs next to the other awards she
earned from rock climbing, jujitsu, and math camp. Next week she’s off to a week-long music camp.
It’s hard for an activity to stick when it’s just one of many that a child is constantly bombarded with. Sure there are those children who get really excited about sailing and want to do nothing else, but they are the exception. And in the world of junior sailing we rely heavily on these exceptions! However, if we really want to develop more lifelong sailors we need to engage children and parents together, so that sailing becomes more than just another activity, sailing becomes family time. How is this possible when most junior sailors come from families that don’t sail?
This takes some creativity on the part of junior sailing programs, and depends largely on what resources they have at their disposal and how much flexibility they have in their schedule to add additional events and activities. Sail Sand Point, for example has been very successful with their “Mommy (or Daddy) and Me” sailing course, where parent and child learn to sail together on a small boat. This is an empowering experience for the young sailor who often teaches mom a thing or two along the way. Graduates of “Mommy (or Daddy) and Me” can take advantage of Sail Sand Point’s rental program and go sailing together on their own time, making it a special experience they can continue to share long after the course is
Getting the Whole Family Involved with Junior Sailing

over. With Sail Sand Point’s affordable rental rates, their family doesn’t have own a boat to be part of the sailing community.
Family nights and weekly barbeques are another great way to get parents on the water. When I worked at Balboa Yacht Club in Newport Beach we had a few themed parent nights each summer. They always involved kids taking their parents for a sail. It was comical to watch some of the bigger dads try to squeeze into an 8’ Sabot with their child, but they loved it. Some of the kids drove the entire evening, while others coached their parents as they tried it for the first time. “Dad you’re in the no-go-zone,” you’d hear young sailors exclaim. The expression of parents returning to the dock was priceless. “How do they know all that stuff?” The pride radiating from the young sailors was evident too. “Tonight I taught my dad something he didn’t know.”
With the aging and declining membership of many yacht clubs, junior sailing is also a great way to bring in new blood. When I worked at Encinal Yacht Club in the Bay Area, we had about a dozen families join each year and most had no prior sailing experience. Many of these families soon became sailing converts, either through our adult sailing lessons, which we taught on J/24s, or by going out and sailing with other members. I can think of several families that became sailing converts before the family expert lost all their baby teeth. Social ties were reinforced through volunteer activities and events. New parents were paired up with experienced parents to help move marks or record finishes at junior regattas. The fact that a fair number of these families remained members
after their kids moved off to college was proof that they had adopted the sailing community as their own. It’s also no coincidence that the children of these families almost invariably kept sailing after graduation. Some went on to excel as college sailors, while others came back year after year to instruct at the junior program. Involving kids and parents strengthens their ties to sailing, by providing a shared experience they can both keep coming back to.
I can understand the apprehension in the youth sports community (not just sailing) of welcoming parents with open arms and asking them to get more involved. It’s unfortunate that the actions of a few overbearing or hyper-intense parents give the other ninety-nine percent a bad rap. Yes, as a program director I’ve been cussed out, threatened, and told-off by a handful of parents, so I can understand why the trend in youth sports is to put up more boundaries. In extreme cases I’ve even seen “No parents allowed beyond this point” signs. It’s true that parents shouldn’t interrupt instructors while they’re teaching or rig their child’s boat for them, but in the long run it’s damaging to shut parents out of a sport like sailing which can be such a great family activity. The trick is to channel parent energy in a constructive manner, instead of leaving parents on the sidelines. Family nights, weekly barbecues, and adult sailing lessons are all positive outlets for those parents who want to get involved, but might not otherwise know how. It’s no surprise that some of the top junior sailing programs are those that make the extra effort to get kids and parents on the water together.
I got a rare chance to link up with
my extended “boat family”for the Duwamish Head race. White Squall is in the cruising class now and the dodger stays up year round, but I was reminded of why I fell in love with sailing in the first place. Before pushing off the dock I saw young Dieter Creitz carrying a sail that weighed as much as him, along with his father Nate. At age nine, Dieter sails and competes year round in his Opti, but that morning he joined his mother, father and grandfather for the race. Three generations were present aboard Flim Flam, which belongs to Nate’s father Fred. During frostbite races at Shilshole it’s not uncommon to see Nate’s Aero rafted up to Dieter’s Opti between starts. Some nine year olds might get burned out with that much sailing, but for Dieter it’s very much a family activity that both he and his parents enjoy.
When you come from a sailing family, it’s easy to take experiences like those for granted. For those of us that teach sailing and work with youth, we need to make a conscious effort to involve parents… yes, even those who drive us crazy. Sailing competes against a lot of other activities. If we can’t find ways to positively engage parents and families, then junior sailing risks becoming one more minivan stop.
Lastly, if you’re a parent who’s reading this, don’t pass up the opportunity to go sailing with your child! It shows you’re taking a genuine interest in their life, and who knows, you might learn a thing or two.

It was a calm, slow morning. Old Grand-Dad woke up with a sigh and
a smile, feeling aged but excited for the day ahead. Today was a special day because Old Grand-Dad had been invited to join the crew of Nefarious for the famous Duwamish Head sailboat race. Despite having been in and around the neighborhood, and even the sailing community, for quite some time now, Old Grand-Dad had never been out sailing on a Farr30. The Neffy crew had never met him before, but it was Anna who found him and decided to give him a chance. He was ecstatic, and despite his aged state was decidedly up for the challenge. He was a tad concerned that once the rest of the crew met him they’d worry he was too old to join them for the day but decided the only way to find out was to risk it – he was, after all, approaching 100, but he felt strong!
He drove to the marina with some of the crew Saturday morning as they made their way to the Des Moines Marina with no shortage of confusing banter. “Turn there, it says marina!” “What marina sign? I didn't see a sign saying ‘marina.’” ”No, turn right! I think it must be up that hill somewhere…”
Nevertheless, all made it to the boat and began making introductions. “I brought Old Grand-Dad!” exclaimed Anna. “Well, mostly for the bow chick, but I think he’ll fit right in.” “Squeeeeeeeeee!” exclaimed bow chick. “Absolutely! Old Grand-Dad, come with us, let’s go sailing!”
Old Grand-Dad was beside himself with glee and anticipation, hoping the race would happen as they looked out onto calm waters. But
Three Tree PointDuwamish Head
”Old Grand-Dad goes Sailboat Racing”
just like that, the fog cleared, enough breeze filled in to cross the start line, and Old Grand-Dad was on his way with Nefarious. He watched and listened while tactics were discussed, decisions were made to go this way or that, and crew banter ensued. He learned ‘that’s what she said’ is always appropriate on Neffy. There was mention of some kind of great circle. There was some riffraff about passing a Sierra, which Old Grand-Dad presumed must be a familiar tree on shore. He got to know each member of the crew, making rounds about the boat while staying out of the way as best he could. At one point bow chick even asked to sit on his lap!
He marveled at his luck while the colorful round sails grew smaller in the distance, as they made their way straight up the middle, with Alki growing closer. It was an absolutely beautiful day. Old Grand-Dad, despite admittedly starting to feel a little drained, was having a fabulous time and the crew still seemed genuinely grateful, if not nearly ecstatic, to have him aboard even though he felt he was
fairly useless to any job and constantly in everyone’s faces. He realized as he thought to himself that he didn’t actually care if they won, because the best part of all was getting to be with great friends having great times together on a beautiful day in even more beautiful surroundings. These folks, they’ve got it figured out, he thought. He had clearly bonded. Nevertheless, they made a right turn at Alki, and there it was! The finish line! Unreal! Old Grand-Dad was beside himself, so excited he almost blew his cork! He was actually about to finish, and maybe even win, his very first sailboat race aboard Nefar-...

Business or Pleasure, AquaDrive will make your boat smoother, quieter and vibration free. The aquaDrive system solves aproblem nearly a century old; the factthat marine engines are installed on softengine mounts and attached almostrigidly to the propeller shaft. The very logic of AquaDrive isinescapable. An engine that is vibrating
on soft mounts needs total freedom ofmovement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement. Tests proved that the AquaDrive with its softer engine mountings can reduce vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% or more. For information, call Drivelines NW today.

Combining straight-up speed with a superior level of seaworthiness the C&C Redline 41
offers a blend that’s not often found on other racer cruisers. The Redline 41’s huge bulb keel makes her incredibly stable and an excellent upwind performer, and her narrow water line beam creates low drag translating into stellar performance in light airs.
Unlike other racer cruisers, the Redline 41 has an immaculate interior built by the same craftsmen who ply their trade in the beautiful Alerion Yachts. Her exacting standards of fit and finish immediately set the Redline 41 apart from any other yacht available in the market.
