Commodore's Message"What's that boat out there?" The question comes up often as another smart looker

appears, hurrying along with her tall, skinny rig, tiny boom and cockpit, huge genny,glistening Barients, and sawed-off upside-down transom. It's not easy to answer, since thesame boat could have come from any of the great modern yacht builders. Yet if the boat isgaff-rigged, has a high clipper bow, a bowsprit, a boom as long as the hull, a family-sizedcockpit, carries a gorgeous load of sail with her tops'l flying, and shows a gracefultumblehome and transom, most sailors don't hesitate..."she's a Friendship!" they say, withwarmth and respect.

Recently I played that fine Friendship Sloop video again and heard that we sloop owners"are peculiar...we buy a boat because of its unusual beauty...because it is handy...we don'texpect to break the sound barrier with it...we like the hard way, the honest way, the oldway...we enjoy reaching back in history" ...and, incidently, we enjoy reaching, because onthat slant we often give our good tall rig friends a better view of that historic transom. Thenew summer now starts, and we hope all sailors who are similarly peculiar, or not, will joinus for another wonderful Friendship season.

The Bill Hadlock Memorial AwardThis award is given in memory of our past Commodore and skipper of Heritage, Bill

Hadlock. It is given for:1. Safe sailing and sound seamanship2. Family participation3. Sharing knowledge and helping others4. Supporting the aims of the Society5. Appreciation of the beauty, charm, and splendor of the Maine coast.

The award was made this year to Mary and Jack Cronin, owners of Tannis. If safe sailingand sound seamanship means getting out of the messes we all get into uninjured, with ashred of self-respect and a lot of humor, the Cronins are winners. "If you haven't beenaground," the old man said, "you haven't been anywhere." The Cronins have been almosteverywhere. Tannis is probably first in the fleet for family participation, as an article byMary in this book illustrates, and none are quicker to help a fellow seaman in trouble.

The Bancroft AwardThe Bancroft Award is given in memory of Winthrop Bancroft, owner of Elicia III and

an enthusiastic supporter of the Society. It is awarded for an unusual contribution to theFriendship tradition. It might recognize an outstanding voyage, the launching of a newsloop, or the restoration of an old one. It might recognize the work of a poet, a painter, or amodel maker. A committee appointed by the Executive Committee awarded the trophy thisyear to Ralph Stanley, builder, rebuilder, restorer and skipper of Friendship sloops and ahistorian who has contributed much to our heritage.

For an outstanding assortment ofquality apparel for men and women.We carry full lines of outerwear,raingear, sportswear, dresses andaccessories.In two mid-coast locations.

Sloop Geneseeby Ralph Stanley

The sloop Genesee, built in 1900 by Robert E. McLain, was for many years owned byOscar W. Sellers at Stonington, Maine. Typical of many Friendship sloops of her day, shestarted out as a sailing vessel, eventually having an engine installed. She was engaged inthe fishing business for at least 25 years. Her long life no doubt reflects the care she wasgiven over the years.

One picture shows her with a fishing party and the other at the Johnson and Younglobster dock at Stonington. The building at the right of the lobster dock is the steamboatwharf. Note the fine peapods in the picture. One is well-equipped with sail, oars and othergear, and perhaps had just got in from hauling traps. Also note the rub strips on the after-quarters of the sloop. Sometimes when hauling traps, the sloop would range ahead and thetrap would trail astern. These strips protected the planking from wear and chafing of therope hauled over the side. Traps were hauled by hand in those days.

Genesee is very similar to the Dictator, built by the same builder in 1904. She has thesame deck layout that Dictator originally had with the oval cockpit. Genesee was slightlysmaller than Dictator, Genesee being 30.0 x 10.0 x 5.3 at 7 gross tons, and Dictator being31.4 x 10.6 x 5.4 at 8 gross tons. These sloops were close enough in size to have been builtfrom the same model.

In 1925, Genesee was listed in Merchant Vessels as a motor vessel with a crew of twowith an 8 h.p. engine being used for fishing. At this time, she was owned by Henry Robertsof South Portland, Maine, who was her owner for the next ten years. In 1936, she wasowned by Morgan Upton of Cambridge, Ma. and home ported in Portland. In 1937,ownership changed to A. Morris Hughes and her home port was still Portland. This is thelast year she appears in the list of Merchant Vessels.

My First Regattaby Charlene Churchwell

Y'all come back again next year, ya' hear!I don't guess those were the exact words that I heard at the end of last year's races at

Boothbay...but I was invited to make the trip back from Georgia, and I hope I make it. Ihad looked forward to going to the races so much that not even the weather could"dampen" the wonderful time I had. Even the picnic in the rain and the soggy hot dogswere great!

I sailed on Morning Star with my sister and brother-in-law, Judy and Bob Brooks, andwith Ralph and Marian Stanley. I never realized that sailing backwards could be so muchfun! Or that sailing in the fog could be so scary! It may not have been a race of speed, butMorning Star's winning the Class A race was exciting to me!

I'm really looking forward to the races again this year! And I'm especially lookingforward to seeing all the wonderful people that I met last year. You made me feel like apart of the Friendship family. This year, I might get promoted to deckhand!

This is the first tender, with Cindy rowing.

Tenders, Dinghies, Prams and DoriesBy Mary Cronin

When we first bought Tanniswe had no time to build a tender,so we purchased a "Sport Yak" -it looked like a solid plasticinflatable - and it was a greatinvestment for us at the time. Wehad children 13, 12, 11, 10, 1 3/4years old and a new daughter 10days old. It rowed easily, towedterribly, so it had to be carried onthe cabin roof, but it made amarvelous toy for the children.We could pull it up on the beach,put a few pails of water in it, andlet the small children play in it.The older kids would turn itupside down in the water and useit for a diving raft or for sunningthemselves.

Unfortunately, its versatility led to its demise. That winter we were blessed with moresnow than we needed, and when the sleds, skiis and toboggans wore out, our children gotthe bright idea of using the "Sport Yak" for a sled. It was great! It held all the Cronins andmost of their friends, flew down the hills, and was light enough to pull back up!Unfortunately, it did not survive crashing into a tree stump, although all the children did.One side of the raft was torn open, and, although we tried, we could not patch it wellenough to keep it afloat the next year.

Captain Jack built a good substantial rowboat for the next summer. It was sturdy, towedquite well, had an engine, rowed extremely well, and could handle all of our crew, assortedfriends, and groceries. He painted it BRIGHT yellow, inside and outside. By this time, ourolder children were wandering away to visit other boats or friends. The bright yellowtender made it extremely easy to find them. The boat was stolen from us, and we were allheartbroken. That winter, when Captain Jack and John were driving home from Hingham,where the Tannis was in winter storage, they saw the bright yellow boat tied up on a dock,the bright yellow visible from the highway. They promptly confronted the gentleman whoclaimed to be the owner and advised him that the boat was stolen. At first the man deniedthat he had stolen the boat, but then admitted that "his father-in-law had given him theboat." The captain and John left with the yellow boat. We were able to use it for anothercouple of years before it was stolen again. This time, the thief was smarter. He evidentlyrepainted the boat, because we never saw it again!

That winter, Captain Jack built a "modified dory" - modified in that it was quite stableand had a well for an engine. By that time, our family had increased to eight children andsafety was indeed a factor. We enjoyed the dory for several years before it was lost in astorm off the coast of Cape Ann. We were sailing home from Friendship, Maine, in a three-day northeaster. During a thunder squall, with the rain coming down in sheets, we watched

helplessly as the little dory filled with water, broke her line, and drifted away.That winter, the captain built two rocker-bottom prams, one for the captain and first

mate, and one for the crew - at least that was the original idea! Both rowed very well, werelight enough to carry on deck during storms, and we all loved them. They were rowed

Captain Jack's Pram

miles and miles! Unfortunately, by the time the anchor was set and the boat shipshape sothe captain and first mate could go ashore, both prams had already disappeared with thecrew. One pram was stolen from our boat while it was on our mooring in Salem. A coupleof months later, the thief rowed by Captain Jack, who recognized his pram immediately,and again confronted the thief. The thief denied any knowledge of the boat being stolen,but then admitted that "it was given to him by his father-in-law!" I guess he was eitherrelated to the thief who had stolen our yellow rowboat, or "my father-in-law gave it to me"is a standard cliche when you are caught stealing tenders!

Captain Jack then built a Gloucester Gull dory for the captain and the first mate. Thenext summer we sailed to Maine, towing the dory with both prams on deck. The dory was ahuge success with our crew - they challenged everyone to a race - and easily won in theirnew "skimmer." A number of our friends were not impressed with the dory and could notacquire the skill necessary to get into it, stepping gently into the center of the boat andsitting down on the low seats at the same time without balancing on the gunnels. It was anextremely stable boat and rowed well with two stations, even during a hurricane. The doryhad thole pins instead of oar locks, a great economy measure. Because of the dory'spopularity with the crew, it was the first boat taken when someone needed to go ashore.But then, there were still two prams left!

Two years ago, a River Boat Race was held in Sturbridge in the middle of April. Therewas a class for "other than canoes," and John, Bill and Jeff entered the dory. Tom and afriend entered one of the prams. It was a bitterly cold day, and there was still ice left in thebow of the dory. Captain Jack and I watched from shore. The Army Corps of Engineers

lowered the height of the water in the reservoir by two feet and the water came gushing andrushing down the Quinaboag River. This is what they raced in - over rocks, around rocks,and over a three-foot dam upon which the dory became impaled. It was hilarious to watchthe three of them in the dory trying to get off the dam without going into the icy water. Itseemed like a long while, but probably was only a minute, before they were able to get offthe dam, to the cheers of the crowds on shore, who really wanted to see them get wet! Theycame away with first place, but had mortally wounded the dory. Tom and the pram faredlittle better, but they also did very well. The river races did a job on the dory and theprams!

Gloucester Dory

This past year, Captain Jack built a good, sturdy rowboat, one that will not be any goodfor the river race and one that can be depended upon to get us where we want to go. I mustadmit that it is a great luxury to have an engine in our tender - but I have difficultyadjusting to the noise.

I guess the moral of this story might be that acquiring a tender for your sloop is achallenge and requires inordinate patience if other than a captain and first mate are invol-ved. You can use any type of tender that you find comfortable and safe and will carry youand your crew, one that will get you where you want to go when you want to go there, andwill get you back to your boat dry and safe when you want to return. If you must share itwith other crew members, some concessions must be made - and therein is the challenge!

Tecumseh

k- Owner: Dan Traylor, 6720 Green Street,Hollywood, Florida 33024

- Purchased summer 1980 from River Bend Marina- Built 1902 probably by Charles Morse and rebuiltby Dan Traylor

- Engine: 25 hp Volvo Diesel.- Dan's letter written 1989

I was told Tecumseh was built in 1902 byWilbur Morse. When I first saw the title in 1980,it said she was built in 1902 by Charles Morse inThomaston, Maine. I understand Charles didn'tmove to Thomaston until 1911. When I receivedmy new title, it said "Morse Bros. 1902." Whentaking her apart I never found numbers, but shehad been remodeled several times and hertrailboards had been taken as trophies.

When I found Tecumseh in wet storage at RiverBend Marine in Fort Lauderdale, she was in pretty

bad shape. In the last of her 70 or 80 years she had been poorly repaired, then abandonedfor yard bills.

I had come to River Bend Marine to build a boat anyway, and so decided to makeTecumsehs problems mine. She still had a nice shape but almost no sound timbers andtoo many sister frames. Her iron ballast was held on by only two rusty bolts. I decided tostart with a new keel to bolt the iron to, then stem, sternpost and frames. New planking,deck, and house were next. Then came the Volvo diesel, tanks, and so on.

Tecumseh was more or less "regenerated" a piece at a time over a 6-year period. Thereis no original wood left - only that iron ballast and six port lights. The last two years werespent fitting her out for her return to Maine. To the best of my knowledge, Tecumsehhasn't been downeast for at least 50 years. We hope to show up for the race this year andplan to set sail for Maine in mid-May.

30th Anniversary Reunion and RaceBy Caroline Zuber

(Ed. Note: Brutally edited because of space limitations)

Nineteen sloops came home to Friendship on July 21, 1990, and anchored across theharbor from the Memorial Flagpole for an informal barbecue on John Armstrong's wharf.

Sunday morning, members and friends of the Society gathered at the Flagpole for thetraditional remembrance ceremony led by Reverend David Bell and enhanced by the pipesand drum of the Duncan family. A "Parade of Sloops" in the almost glassy calm ofFriendship Harbor followed, and the fleet slowly fanned down the bay for a 1 p.m. startoff Cow Island.

The race picked up excitement with the wind - much chart studying and localknowledge determining the best route through the islands. The most exciting momentoccurred when Tannis found the rock off Thief Island the hard way. This "slight delay"did not keep the Cronins from finishing second behind Toddy.

The order of finish was: Division I: Toddy, Tannis, Anna B., Phoenix, Rights of Man,Gladiator, Eastward, Rita, Eagle, Omaha, Loon, Departure, Dirigo. Division II: Gypsy,Banshee, Celebration, William Rand, Raven, OldBaldy, Secret.

That evening, the skippers and crews gathered on the Pratts' lawn. The Trustees of thePendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund had sponsored 87 lobster dinners with fixings,cooked and served by recipients of scholarships and their families. Nearly $900 was addedto the principal of the fund.

The 30th anniversary race and homecoming reflected the enduring legacy shared byFriendship sloop owners and builders and by the town where the sloops first receivedpublic recognition.

On Saturday, August 18, the starting gun was fired at exactly 10:20 a.m. just off thelighthouse. The light breeze held through the first triangle of the twice-around courses.The smaller Division I sloops sailed a shorter course inside that of Division II.

The dying breeze made for mighty slow going at the finish, but an approaching thundershower with vivid lightning chased all sloops to safe moorings.

Late afternoon clearing skies allowed us to salute grand old Eagle. A suitably inscribedsilver tray was presented to her skipper, Don Huston, in honor of her 75 years.

On Sunday, a stiff northeast wind right down the harbor, with gusts to 35 knots, heldthrough the morning and early afternoon.

At 11:30 a.m. the Race Committee decided to "bag it" and make the awards on thebasis of one day's race.

Sunday, December 4,1768By Billy Roberts

Capt. James Patterson went down with his vessel with all hands on board offMeduncook (Friendship).

Capt. Patterson was an inhabitant of Harrington (Bristol). He ran early coasting packetsout of the Kennebec River. The trip of November and December was probably to be thelast for that year. It proved to be the last he would ever undertake.

Only a few scattered documents give the story of the disastrous trip. One tells of astatement of Mary Cowell's in which she notes Capt. Patterson and two of his passengerswere at her house in Boston the night before their sloop sailed on the first day ofDecember when these men were "lost at Meduncook at the eastward."

In the absence of any lighthouses or other modern guides to the mariner, it is notsurprising that the sloop was driven beyond her destination and into danger.

The wreck was discovered on Thursday, the 8th of December 1768, by men ofMeduncook who identified it as being that of Captain Patterson "by a part of a clearancethat was found in his coat pocket."

She lay on the southern side of false Franklin (so-called) within two rods of the shore,her starboard quarter beat off and gone a small distance from her, her quarter deck allgone, chimney all bent down, her platform all gone, mast broken in three places,unstepped and gone through the bottom; her main deck and floor timbers almost mettogether, bowsprit broken off by the jaw, and a hole through her side so large that wentout and in at it, her cable under her keel and much bruised. Her sheet anchor was brokenand the flukes gone.

The aged father of Captain Patterson visited the wreck in December, at which time hisson's sea chest and wearing apparel were delivered to him.

The following notice was hung in the public house at Meduncook:

"Whereas there was the wreck of a sloop lately found on an island lying off MeduncookHarbour and we the subscribers with others have taken up and secured sundry articlesof rigging and sundry other articles supposed to have washed out of said wreck. Any

persons proving their property in the said rigging or other articles may have them again,paying charges. Signed, Richard Adams, John Robinson, and Jesse Thomas.

My First Day As First MateBy Star Reddy

It was my good fortune to become acquainted with some really fine folks, a warm-hearted group of thoughtful, fun-loving people, They're a Friendly lot who were alwaysspeaking of Friendship:

Friendship SloopsFriendship Society

Friendship YearbookFriendship, Maine

How could one miss? It was instant friendship with this friendly gathering! I lookedforward to joining them on a cruise, as they were first and foremost "boating enthusiasticsports." One couldn't help but envision a pleasurable ride into the wide blue yonder.Someone promised me a day in a sailboat - a relaxing, refreshing jaunt to rid myself ofclaustrophobia and stretch my far-sighted eyeballs. One beautiful day in July, I receivedthe "call," an invitation to go.

"Be ready in 15 minutes or we leave without you!""Aye, aye, sir!" I saluted my first order.After dressing in layers, as I was advised to do, I packed a tote bag of sun lotion and

proceeded to break the speed limit through the heart of town to get to the shore in only 14minutes. With my blood pressure on high, and my adrenalin at peak performance, I dashedto the float!

There he was -in the bay -

on the boat -about to shove off without me!!!

I called, "Shall I swim out?"He volunteered to row me over, a kind and thoughtful gesture. "You could swim, but

it's too cold!" Another time, huh? Dragging my bag behind me, I obeyed the secondcommand. "Don't jump. Step slowly into the center of the dinghy!" At last, I was on thewater and away from the shore. That was easy; the rest of the day out to sea would be acinch. Transferring the body from one vehicle to another was tricky, but I was determinedto move it properly. I did have visions of plopping in between and disappearing off theface of the earth. So I agreed to "Turn around and hoist your butt up onto -"

Once aboard, I noticed two sea-blue cushioned seats, broad enough for this broad tospread out for a leisurely ride while basking in the sunshine. However, that was the end ofmy sailing fantasy. School session was about to begin and I forgot to bring a pencil andpaper.

Starboard Is RightPort Is Left

A Rope Is a SheetA Sail Is a Jib

Who changed the meaning and why? When one has called a rope a rope for some 60(odd) years, it is confusing to change the thought process, but I had to give it a go. Therewas no time to analyze the situation. After a ceremony of unfurling the jib, hoisting themainsail, or whatever, we parted from the mooring, the invisible mooring, and it was witha mighty shout:

Grab the SheetPull the Jib

Wind the Sheet Clockwise Around the WinchThe work detail began. Located at the elbow was the rope - oops -1 mean the sheet, so

it was logical to go for it, but there came a "No, no-" I'm told to find the blithering end.So I grope for this twisting, twirling hunk of hemp that's below deck, hanging in thebrink. I haul away! I'm lucky not to hang myself!

A loud call, "Wind it around the winch!" Sounded like, "Wind it, you wench!" Did Idetect a deep-rooted sarcasm of name-calling escaping from the undercurrent of aFreudian slip? The only thing-a-ma-bob in sight must be the thing he calls the winch. Ittakes a few moments to remember which way the clock goes. When the windmills of mymind slowed down and pointed in the right direction, it was then that I was able to graspthe meaning.

So we're out there, beginning to move with a shift of the wind or a change ofsomeone's mind, and I get the next order.

"Ready about!" Come now, with a name like Reddy, what's it all about? With a start, Ihopped about. "No, no, no, ready about means to stay and wait." What's wrong withReady - on your mark, get set? And then, I would have waited in breathless anticipationfor the word "Go!"

It's just more nautical jibberish to keep landlubbers in their place, so as not to over-populate these sea-going vessels.

The wind was there! I wasn't sure where, but it was there, so I got the words: "Helms alee!" This was another order to move and move fast, from right to left or starboard to lee.The idea is to get the right foot to step out in coordination with the right hand as youdeprogram the left side to cool it, and let go. Then one follows the motion of the torso as itpicks up the action on the lee side. To cause a sail to swing from one side of the ship tothe other is what it's all about, so I fumble for the sheet, to carry on the race we're in.

As I hopped from side to side, back and forth, groping, grabbing, pulling and twistinglike a fast-motion video, the SKIPPER sat stoically, grinning like a Cheshire cat with tillerin hand.

Even though this tacking can cause a torsional strain by the wrenching and exertion offorces, it was a fun day, a worthwhile experience, a first in my life.

Here's a thought:Why not program a computer to:

pick up the wind -work the button -

that pushes the gadget-to pull the sheet -

that yanks the jib-that winds the winch!!!

While synchronizing those winches -to spin clockwise -

when one pulls out -the other pulls in -

What's wrong with automation?

Old-Time WaysThe Gaff Rig

There can be little doubt that a tall, narrowmainsail with a short boom is aerodynamicallya more efficient sail to windward than thetraditional gaff rig. August tourists ask us why,then, didn't the old timers use a triangularmainsail instead of the four-sided gaff-headedsail. There are several practical answers to thatquestion.

One answer is that the tall mast of a jib-headed rig must be supported by a network oftightly-stressed wire rigging to form a rigidstrut on which to set the sail. The expense ofthis wire and the hardware necessary to tightenand adjust it was far more than the fishermencould afford, even if it had been available then.A gaff-headed sail sets on a much shorter mastand can be adequately supported by twoshrouds on a side, one of which can run over ashort spreader above the throat of the sail.Adequate tension can be achieved withdeadeyes and lanyards, and if there is a bit ofslack in the lee rigging, it is all to the good.

The set of a gaff sail is not heavily dependent on the shape of the mast and can be adjustedwith the peak and throat halyards.

The strain on the hull of a modern boat with a modern rig requires far moresophisticated engineering and more expensive construction than was available to thefishermen of the last century. A modern boat is "tuned." The word is well chosen, for therigging is set up singing taut to give the mast just the right rake and bend so the sail setswell.

"How tight should the backstay be?" asks the mate."Set it up until the lifelines go slack," answers the skipper.Such a practice puts a tremendous compression strain on the mast, tending to drive the

keel down through the bottom of the boat.The fisherman with less ballast, a lower and slacker rig, and a greater willingness to

reef when the rail went under could live a long time with a less expensively constructedtraditional wooden boat.

The most convincing reason for the fishermen's not adopting the jib-headed rig is thatthey had to sail in the winter. In order to hoist the sail by the spreaders, the jib-headed sailmust set on a metal track screwed to the after side of the mast. Not only must the track andthe slides that run on it be accurately machined, but they are expensive. Furthermore, inthe winter the track would ice up, making it impossible to get the sail up or down. With agaff sail hoisting on wooden hoops, one can bang the ice off with a piece of stove woodand do no permanent or expensive damage.

The Downhaul

The downhaul consists ofa light line spliced into thehead of a jib or staysail,running down the luff besidethe stay through two or threesnaps or big shackles to ablock on the bowsprit, thenceaft to a cleat under the rail oron the heel of the bowsprit.When the sail is to be takenin, no one goes out on thebowsprit where he will gethis feet wet even if he is notshaken overboard. The matedrops the halyard coil ondeck in front of him — or her— with the line running upover her or his shoulder. Hepulls on the downhaul,bringing the jib down in awad on the foot of the stay,and makes fast, thus holdingit down. Should the halyardkink or run foul, the mate hasbut to clamp it tightly againsthis side with his elbow toprevent the tangles goingaloft in a mess.

Even modern yachts without bowsprits find downhauls useful. Consider the plight ofthe man sent forward alone on a windy night to take in a big Genoa jib. He casts off thehalyard and grasps the coil in one hand, hanging on to the lifeline on the plunging bowwith the other. Keeping considerable strain on the halyard, he makes his wet way forward

to the pulpit. Here he faces aft, straddling the stay, bracing himself with his feet, andbegins to claw down the luff of the sail with one hand while slacking off the halyard withthe other. Every time he reaches up to grab a new handful of sail, half of the last handfulblows up the stay. As the sail comes down, it begins to thrash, balloon, and belly,slamming wildly around the lee side of the foredeck. Unless someone else comes forwardto wrap arms and legs around the monster or subdue it by twisting its tail, the unfortunatemate, when at last he gets the sail down, must still hold on to the halyard or make it fasttemporarily to the pulpit, then make his perilous way aft and roll up the beast.

With a downhaul, he need only stand by the mast on the weather side while the skipperruns off before the wind to give him a bit of a lee. He then takes in on the downhaul, thesail drops on deck and stays down. With the luff under control, he can make all fast andturn his attention to tying up the sail, now a comparatively, easy task.

It is true that many yachts, even some Friendship sloops, carry headsails on rollers sothey can be quickly and easily taken in by pulling on a light line and rolling them uparound the stay like a window shade. It certainly beats clinging to a pulpit and clawingdown a reluctant jib. However, the roller rig is much more expensive than a downhaul andno less likely to jam. It does save the trouble of furling the sail and it is possible to reef thejib by rolling up part of it. With the very strong, stable cloth of which sails are madetoday, this is possible, although in a heavy blow, the sail might still be stretched out ofshape and ruined. Furthermore, the luff, the forward edge of the sail, is the part that drivesthe boat. Roll that up and the much flatter after part of the sail has much less drive for itsarea.

There is still much to be said for a length of light line, a block and a cleat — all youneed for a downhaul.

ReefingThe old-timers had a method which was far less expensive and more efficient than

roller reefing and which has been adapted to the needs of modern yachtsmen under thename of slab reefing.

From the port side of the gooseneck or the jaws of the boom, they led a line up the luffof the sail, through a cringle, and down the starboard to a cleat. This was the tack earring.They did the same thing on the clew, the after lower corner of the sail, taking the clewearring up the port side of the sail, through a cringle, down to a cheek block on the boomand forward to a tackle mounted on the boom where the fall could be reached from thedeck. To reef, they slacked the halyards, hauled down the tack earring, took up on thetopping lift, and hauled down the clew earring, then tied the reef points. The modern yachthas a hook for the tack earring and a winch on the boom for the clew earring, anddispenses with reef points. However, in a Friendship sloop, which has a boom about equalto the vessel's waterline length, the strain on the clew is so great that reef points areimportant to prevent stretching the sail out of shape.

LazyjacksThis is another old-time rig being reinvented for modern yachts. Fishermen with their

huge mainsails and long booms used lazyjacks, light lines running from the mast to theboom on each side of the sail to contain and control the sail when it was lowered. Whenthe sail was set, they hung slack, hence the name. On yachts with shorter booms and

smaller mainsails, lazyjacks became obsolete, forgotten. But with modern sail cloth,which is nearly as inflexible as sheet iron roofing and can't be furled but must be flakeddown on the boom, lazyjacks have been rediscovered to keep the sail above the boom as itis lowered and folded accordion style.

Lunch Anchor

If you are anchoring with a light anchor to fish or eat lunch aboard, consider anotheruseful device from the old days. Make one end of a short piece of chain fast to the crownof a light anchor between the flukes. Then lead it up the shank to the ring and seize it tothe outside of the ring with two turns of marline. Make your anchor rode fast to the upperend of the chain. When the anchor hits bottom, the strain comes on the marline and thering just as it should and the anchor digs in.

When it is time to go, the anchor can be hauled as usual. However, should it foul undera boulder, a sunken tree or one of the other immovable objects with which the bottoms ofunfrequented coves are littered, a determined pull on the rode, assisted perhaps by abacked jib or the engine, will part the marline, putting the strain on the crown of theanchor and bringing it upside down.

I would never go ashore and leave my boat anchored thus, but if someone is to stayaboard, it certainly beats rigging a trip line or having to cut the rode and lose the anchor.

A Report on the Friendship Sloop SocietyScholarship Fund

In 1967, at the recommendation of Bill Pendleton and other members, the FriendshipSloop Society adopted a resolution establishing a scholarship fund for the young people ofFriendship who were graduating from high school and planning for further educationbeyond the secondary school level. Bill felt that it was important for the Society to expressits appreciation to the people of Friendship for all their help in making the annual SloopRegatta a success. This arrangement worked well, with a committee charged with theresponsibility of distributing the funds each year to those who were accepted in theprogram.

Following the death of Bill's wife, the fund was named "The Beatrice PendletonMemorial Scholarship Fund." In 1983, the Society placed the management of the fund inthe hands of a Board of Trustees consisting of Society members and residents ofFriendship. Later, after Bill's death, the name was changed to "The Pendleton MemorialScholarship Fund."

Last fall, the Trustees of the Scholarship Fund accepted with regret Ernst Wiegleb'sresignation as its treasurer for health reasons. Since its inception in 1967, Ernie hasoverseen its growth, primarily through contributions of members and friends, to aprincipal value of $49,000. The first four awards were made in 1968.

In the ensuing years a total of $34,450, composed, for the most part, of the interestgenerated in Certificates of Deposit, has been distributed to 72 high school graduates fromFriendship. (For the first few years, up to half of the principal amount could be used forscholarships.) We thank Ernie for his years of faithful service to the Scholarship Fund andthe Sloop Society. He has been a wise counselor and a good friend to all who know him.

We are pleased that the Rev. David Bell, who has accepted the position of Treasurer ofthe Sloop Society, has also agreed to take that job for the Scholarship Fund.

Each spring the Board of Trustees places a letter in the Friendship Town Reportreminding the residents that the scholarships are available for those who are interested inparticipating. In addition, a letter is sent to each of the seniors in the village who areattending Medomak Valley High School, advising each one that the opportunity isavailable.

This year we have ten seniors who are planning to graduate. While we do not expect allten to apply for assistance, we do realize that the $4,000 in interest which will be availablewould not go very far if they did.

A recent article in the Rockland Courier-Gazette tells us that Nancy Bellhouse May, apast recipient of a scholarship now living in Little Rock, Arkansas, has been named apartner in the law firm of Wright, Lindsey, and Jennings in that city. She is a graduate ofMedomak Valley High School, Bowdoin College, and the Columbia University School ofLaw. Her parents are Captain and Mrs. Alan Bellhouse of Friendship.
