Update to Thunder Bay Cruising

Boat policing in Canada has significantly increasedover this past summer We have received reports ofnumerous customs Coast Guard and provincial policeboardings at Thompson Island for example The USboaters questioned there had their remote border crossingpaperwork in order and no citations or other problemswere reported Given the ever-increasing presence ofhomeland security on both sides of the US-Canada borderit is logical to assume there will continue to be a largerpolice presence in Lake Superior cruising waters next sail-ing season as well Be prepared

Port Huron to Mac Raceby Norm Astwood

Early last summer I was asked if Ihad the chance would I be inter-

ested in sailing the Port Huron toMackinac Race I thought about it forabout five seconds said I would be gladto

The name of the boat I crewed onis Surface Tension and it is a 36NelsonMarek It has raced numerousldquoHookrdquo Races ChicagoMac Racesand three Port HuronMac Races It haswon the Hook Race (Racine toSturgeon Bay around Door County)

I am 58 years old have beenactively sailing in Central Illinois nearPeoria for 11 years with numeroussailing trips to the Grand Traverse BayBeaver Island Mackinac areaAlthough I raced locally I had noexperience racing on the Great Lakes Iknew that at my age I was lucky to begetting the chance and it would be stu-pid not to take it

I was told we would pick up theboat at Mackinac Island and be part ofthe crew to take it down to Port Huron(The boat was doing the ChicagoMacthe week before) The friend that gotme my ldquoriderdquo (Larry Brethorst) would

drive with me to Mackinac City wherewe would leave the car catch the boatand drive back after the race Larrygave me a good idea of equipment totake (inflatable vest strobe tetheretc) along with clothing suggestions(foul weather gear and not too much

warm or cold weather clothing) Theidea is take everything you mightneed but pack light

Larry myself and Mike Reisingerand Mark Lewis out of Springfield ILtook the boat from Mackinac City toPort Huron (Mike and Mark had beenpart of the crew that raced the boat inthe Chicago-Mac the previous week)The wind was on the nose all the wayso we motored for 31 hours straight toPort Huron I was surprised how muchfreighter traffic there was on the lake

We got to Port Huron Thursdayafternoon before the race The race isrun over two courses There is aninshore course of 204 Miles and theSouthampton Course of 253 miles (Thesmaller boats sail the inshore coursethat hugs the west side of Lake Huron)All in all there were over 250 boatsthat had to be docked at Port Huronbefore the race There was a lot of raft-ing up and Port Huron used the fewnights before the race for boat paradesand parties It was a pretty neat deal

Surface Tension waiting to start

Crew for the race started showingup Thursday evening I had the chanceto meet them and knew a few of themFriday evening the owner of the boatand captain Jeff Schaefer showed up Ihad met Jeff before when he was racinghis Star in Peoria Jeff and the SurfaceTension are raced out of Racine Wewere going to sail with a crew of eightBesides Larry me and Jeff we hadMike Hettel (who I knew from myclub) Bob Carson from SpringfieldIL Bob Locke from St Louis JudyCooke from Racine and MickeyNielson Mickey I also knew (sheraces Stars out of Racine and she andher husband Chris are the QuantumSails dealers in Racine)

Saturday morning everyone wasanxious to get going but the fleets startby class and we werenrsquot scheduled tostart until 1PM The boats were raftedalong the Black River and in marinasand came down in waves to get to thestart Since there are drawbridges overthe river they are synchronized beingraised and lowered to move as many


boats through as fast as possible We finally took off and headed into

and up the StClair River for the start-ing area in southern Lake Huron Oncewe got there we found there was a

delay because of lack of wind After ahalf hour the wind built enough to startand before you knew it we were in thecountdown and started the race

The wind was light out of the

southeast and we moved out towardsthe Southampton light to the northeastAs time moved on Jeff encouragedeveryone that couldto get some sleepto ldquostore it awayrdquo for later (I wish Icould have) Larry Mike Hettle and Itook the 9PM to Midnight shift as thewind swung towards the south

When we came back on at 3AMthe wind had freshened (8 to 10 knots)and there was a full moon low in thesky I couldnrsquot believe how beautiful itwas and we could see the runninglights of 20 to 30 boats We were allracing towards the Southampton lightoff Ontario where we would go aroundit and change course from north northeast to the northwest As the boats con-verged on the light we were passingsome and some were passing us Wehad all the crew on duty as we wentaround the light at 440 AM and head-ed towards Mackinac Island When werounded the light (everyone ondeckhellipsail change) there was one boat100 yards ahead and two 50-75 yardsbehind Incredible Then except forme Larry and Mike everyone went tobed

The wind continued to freshen andwe were surfing down waves as thewind built When the relief watch came

on deck at 6 AM the wind had movedfurther to the southwest and strength-ened to the point that all extra handshad to sit on the rail (So much for offwatch sleep)

On the horizon we could see theUSCG boat that was following alongwith the fleet However behind it wecould see storms moving in As thewind built to 25 to 30 knots the wavesgrew to 5 to 7 feet We had taken thespinnaker down and were flying a jibSome of the boats in other classes did-nrsquot really have a small jib and one ofthem in front of us had its spinnakertear to shreds from the high winds Asthe storm went on some of the crewfought sea sickness and tiredness Butthe boat was flying and we were excit-ed as we thought about finishing therace before midnight

In the late afternoon the stormsblew out and the wind died almostcompletely Our thoughts of an earlyfinish disappeared The wind freshenedenough for us to move but it swungaround to the northwest directly on ournose As the sun went down most of uswere pretty tired from being bouncedaround in the storm and lack of sleep Iwent down below to the bow and wentto sleep on the sails

I was amazed at how tired you getfrom riding out a storm not sleepingand sparse food When I came back on

deck at midnight I was stiff and soreand even though it was warm I wascold from fatigue However walkingthe jib around the mast as we tackedendlessly (it seemed) warmed me upquickly

One thing I had learned on this tripwas that a racing boat has a lot of sailchanges Every time one comes downanother one goes up But the sail thatcomes down has to be repacked andmade ready for next time Anotherthing is that the deck of a racing sail-boat is about the most uncomfortableplace to be when trying to rest even ifyou are just helping keep the boat bal-anced by sitting on the rail It seemsthere is always a winch or block stick-ing into your butt (As a personal note-I have run and finished six marathonsin my life and this race was a lot moretiring)

As we approached the finish line inthe latter part of the night there werelots of boats on the horizon tackingback and forth We were all headedtowards the straights by Mission PointResort where the actual finish was Aswe neared the line we lit up the sailwith a light so the race committedcould also shine a light on us from aquarter mile away on shore and readour number They fired a cannon toacknowledge they had read the numberand recorded our finish In addition we

it could be raced safely I believe Jeffkept his end of the bargain I alwaysfelt safe on the boat even though I wassailing in higher winds and bigger seasthan ever before We were always har-nessed on at nightand entirely duringthe storm duringthe day Oh yah wefinished ninth inour class (out of 13boats) and 64th of130 boats on theS o u t h a m p t o ncourse

The boat TheNelsonMarek 36is a racing boat Wecarried a couple ofspinnakers and anumber of jibs Theboat has runningbackstays whichmeans that everytime you tack onebackstay has thetension released asthe other one hasthe tension put onIn addition eventhough it is 36 inlength it has tiller

read our number and name on the VHFThere was no dock space available

and we anchored As dawn began tobreak we broke out the rum and had adrink to celebrate I stayed up for awhile just enjoying the moment asother boats finished and the harborfilled up

We finally tied up at the Coal Dockat 1 PM We all got some drinks andhad a crew debriefing as we reviewedthings that happened during the raceLater on we had dinner and then to bedBacardi Rum sponsored a great partyon the grounds of Mission Point thenext afternoon Then we ate dinner andthe next morning we took the ferry tothe car to drive home while others tookthe boat back to Racine

Reflections These are the thoughtsof only one person and I am sure othersin the crew saw things differently

We were lucky that it was warm(75-80 degrees air temperature) andthat the lake water was warm (73degrees) Even though it only took us37 hours to do the race we were darntired from the storm If it had been coldwe could have been really miserable

Jeff Schaefer said he knew wewere not a professional racing crewand we would race the boat as hard as

Doing the race was a wonderfulexperience Everyone in the crew wasfun to be around and they all werecompetent and experienced (muchmore so than me) If there was onething I learned it is how tiring it is to dodistance racing It took me a week torecover from the race On the otherhand the exhilaration of beinginvolved in such an event is indescrib-able The boats and the lake are beauti-ful Even now writing about it sixmonths later I get excited Sailing overthe last 11 years has taken me manyplaces and given me the chance to do alot of different things But the PortHuron to Mackinac Race was reallyspecial

Keeping Outboards Running Maybe Forever

by Marlin BreeA veteran sailorrsquos look at the myth and the reality of the much maligned two-

cycle outboard engine from Superior to the North Atlantic

The storm had come up withoutwarning and now my twenty-

foot ultralight sloop was out of con-trol In the wild winds the bow dugin and Persistence went into a semi-pitchpole and lay on her side notgetting back up Behind me I heardmy small outboard come out of thewater and racket unmercifully Itwas a sound that I feared

I was soloing my way into thewilderness archipelago of islands innorthern Lake Superior on theCanadian side If my 5 hp two-cycleoutboard gave out here I would bein deep trouble Maybe in moreways than one

I tried to grab the throttle butanother wild downburst came alongThe engine roared out of control andthere was little help for it The mastwhich now was at about a 45-degreeangle to the water went back downagain mast spreaders almost touch-ing-and scary The rudder blade wasalso out of the water

I had the surprising sailorrsquos luckto be caught in the July 4 1999 pro-gressive derecho - the Green Storm- that swept over MinnesotarsquosBWCA snapping old-growth pineslike matchsticks in about a half amillion acres - the worst blowdownin recorded North American historyOne weatherman Paul Douglassaid the derecho produced down-bursts up to 130 mph

When the downburst-the first ofmany-passed the 20-foot boatplopped down again with a splash ofwater The spinning prop caught

water and I finally made my wayinto the refuge of the small harborinside Thompson Island

It had been a hell of a test of anoutboard It had been revved wildlyhad been out of the water for min-utes at a time and didnrsquot have cool-ing water to prevent it from over-heating Or the impeller to bust

The next day I tried the engineagain - more than a little worriedDespite the abuse the engine startedright up ran without a hiccup anddespite being out of the water forminutes at a time at full throttle rpmdid not overheat It still seemed tohave its impeller intact despite thedire factory warnings of not to oper-ate the engine out of the water It ran

beautifully as I continued mymonthrsquos long voyage into thewilderness area

That engine is still with methese many years Yes itrsquos a lookeddown-upon somewhat malignedand totally unfashionable two cycleand yes it has had some minorproblems in its latter years but I amnot about to change my engine to afour cycle until this thing gives upThat may be a long time from nowMaybe forever

I am aware of the advances intechnology taking place in outboardengines for good old boats A fewyears back I helped built a riverskiff for the Saint Paul ScienceMuseum at its old quarters and in aplace overlooking some dinosaurbones When we put the boat in theMississippi River I had to bendover to listen to hear the engine run-ning That was because it was a oneof the newest 4 cycle Hondas ofabout 40 horsepower and it ran soquietly it hardly even seemed totick I liked the ldquogreenrdquo concept - itemitted less hydrocarbons and stuffIt got better gas mileage I wasimpressed

I was not so enthusiastic as Ilooked at prices and weights at anew small four strokes for my ownsailboat My own engine kept run-ning fine even after the stormescape and frankly I was not readyto plunk out the $1500 or so for anequivalent sized four stroke Nor didI want the added weight on the tran-som My enginersquos 43 pounds was a


Marlin Bree on his NissanOutboard

handy weight to take off and put onthe transom But the four strokes gotinto the 50 and 60 pound sizes thattook a lot more heft to handle A lotmore

I donrsquot want to say I wonrsquotsomeday get a four stroke or a newfuel injected two stroke but I dolook upon my two-stroke experi-ences and those of others with somebalance and respect

Irsquom for good old outboards forgood old boats To my mind theseengines really are strokes of genius

Two cycle engines dominatedthe boating world since OleEvinrude invented the first practicaloutboard engine in 1909 For theirsize they have considerably morehorsepower than a four cycle alongwith more torque and a quickerbuildup of power which comes onat lower rpms They have fewerparts than a four cycle and theycost less to build buy and maintain

I donrsquot know quite how to measurethis but I think the two cycles are alot tougher too

The disadvantages are the ring-ding noise of the two cycle as wellas the unburned fuel and oil thatgoes up in blue smoke - the environ-mental pollution blues has gottenthe manufacture of old style twocycles banned in the US

But the old two cycles-ruggedworkhorses of the marine environ-ment-have done more than boatersever thought they could For exam-ple I have a friend who crossed thetreacherous North Atlantic with oneIt was really just an old fishingmotor

Gerry Spiess formerly of WhiteBear Lake Minnesota took his eld-erly 4 horsepower Evinrude out ofVirginia Beach Virginia into theAtlantic on a bracket hanging off thetransom of his Yankee Girl But hesoon ran into a treacherous storm

and at times he told me his enginegot hit so hard with waves ldquoIthought it had been torn offrdquo Afterthe Atlantic tamed down he pulled alittle maintenance he changed thespark plug Then off he went underhis trusty old two stroke When thewinds came up he ran with sailsbut when he neared England heused his two cycle again He arrivedto a cheering crowd in FalmouthEngland his two-cycle purringalong Yankee Girl had set a recordfor the smallest sailboat-only tenfoot LOA-to cross the NorthAtlantic from west to east

In my book the small two-cycleoutboard also should have had somesort of trophy or record It hadcrossed 3800 miles of a toughocean and it had given no problemseither in starting or in runningdespite heavy waves and roughweather It was not a new outboardeither Gerry had used it for years on

other boats and in testing YankeeGirl on Minnesotarsquos White BearLake

A couple of years later he sailedYankee Girl to attempt to cross thePacific Ocean a voyage of almost8000 miles He again chose a twocycle a new 4-frac12 horsepowerEvinrude but that almost ended indisaster After a storm at sea hecould not start the outboard - and hewas hundreds of miles from landCountless breakers had beaten theengine and hersquod heard it shudder andbang behind him on the transomMore than once he wondered if itrsquodbeen torn off But after the storm hebecame becalmed and with greatconfidence (ldquothese engines alwaysfire uprdquo he recalled in the bookBroken Seas) he pulled the startingcord to get the gas up But nothinghappened After hours of attemptingto start the engine including chang-ing plugs and checking the fuel sup-ply he traced the problem to thethrottle arm Peering beneath hesaw that the engine had a shut-off orkill switch at the end of the throttle

arm If you pushed the button theengine stopped -what had happenedwas that the seawater had shortedout the kill switch With needle-nosepliers he snipped the wires bypass-ing the switch and pulled the starterchord hard With a whuff of smokethe little two-stroke started up andsoon settled into a raspy idle

Interestingly enough the metic-ulous Spiess who felt he had to mas-ter every detail of his home-builtboat and everything aboard hadoverlooked something ldquoYou neverwant to go to sea in a new boatrdquo heoften told me But he had gone to seawith a new and untested outboard

Once he fixed the kill switchproblem he and the outboard gotalong famously In the doldrums onhis way to Hawaii (his first port ofcall and the longest single leg of hisvoyage) he ran his engine just bare-ly turning over at a fast idle whichwas a stately cruising speed ofaround 22 knots (253 mph) whichhe maintained almost nonstop dayand night for the next six days Hersquodeven refuel while underway by

unscrewing the filler top of hisinside six-gallon main gas tank andpour in gas from one of the gas cansfrom the bilge He did stop theengine a couple of times to changespark plugs-cheap insurance he fig-ured He stopped the engine bychoking it off since the kill switchwas dismantled

The engine was a key to hisrecord crossing and he used it whenhe could not sail under his twin-jibsetup (his preferred way of travelwhen he had wind - it was muchfaster) He had done the math on histwo cycle at fast idle a gallon ofpre-mixed gas and oil would lastseven hours A 24-hour run wouldtake only 35 gallons He carried 54gallons of pre-mix in the bilgesdown low for ballast

Amusingly enough before he setoff on his voyage from Long BeachCalifornia he sometimes was lookeddown upon by power boaters withthe big yachts with hundreds andeven thousands of horsepower thatfavor the Pacific coast ldquoHow far canyou cruiserdquo he often joked with theyachters theyrsquod answer maybe 200to 300 mile range

Then Gerry did the math Withher two cycle outboard engineYankee Girl had nearly a thousandmile range She carried 54 gallons ofpre-mix and could power at fast idle17 statute miles per gallon Thatwould give him a whopping range ofabout 918 miles

The 45 horsepower two cyclecould push Yankee Girl faster thanher usual fast-idle cruising speed of25 miles per hour But speed wasnot part of his plan Spiess did notwant to go fast only far And whenhe pulled into Sydney Australiaharbor to a herorsquos welcome he andhis trusty two cycle had set anotherrecord crossing the worldrsquos largestocean in the smallest boat


Author at helm of his sailboat Persistence motoring into the slip

Spiessrsquos records could not havebeen possible without his trusty twocycle ldquofishing motorrdquo outboards Inhis voyages he demonstrated howreliable and tough these enginescould be Even as many boaters lustafter the shiny new four strokes theremaining old gas-oil premix twocycles (new ones are not being mar-keted in the US any more) aregaining some new boating friendsAt least theyrsquore being appreciatedsomewhat better

A while back when one veteranboater heard at his local marinestore about the upcoming ban ontwo cycles his answer was to buytwo of them so the story goes Hefigured theyrsquod last him the rest ofhis boating life

But maybe he should have heardabout the guy by the name of MaxE Wawrzniak II Max really likestwo cycles and may even be one ofthe older engines biggest fans Hehas no less than 150 outboards alltwo cycles He allowed he did haveone four cycle but he got rid of it

Max is a pleasure boater not aprofessional mechanic who worksonly on his own engines and maybethose of a few other friends Hedescribes himself as entirely self-taught and swears hersquos never hadany formal outboard repair trainingHe also has written a delightful newbook Cheap Outboards The

Beginnerrsquos Guide to Making an OldMotor Run Forever

ldquoAn old outboard motor (and Ido mean old maybe as old as 50years)rdquo Max writes ldquomay provideyou with a reliable power source foryour boat for considerably lessmoney than a new outboard or evena used late model onerdquo He swearsthere are a good many two-cycleslurking about hardly used andunloved that can be fixed up inex-pensively by most anyone and canrun ldquotill doomsdayrdquo

I like that kind of thinking eventhough Max is mostly interested inmid-50s to early 70rsquos Johnsonrsquos andEvinrudes He likes these enginesbecause they ldquoare just about thesimplest engines ever built and per-forming minor repairsrequires onlya modest collection of tools and aminor knowledge of mechanicsrdquoHe notes ldquoYou probably alreadyown most of thetools you willneedrdquo

He observesthat many boatersldquowould ratherown a shiny new4 cycle outboardmotor than agreasy dented oldone all thingsbeing equal Butall is not equal

and that shiny new outboard willcost a chunk of changerdquo

Heh Heh In Cheap OutboardsMax goes on to do some mathConsidering that even a small newfour-cycle can cost you upwards of$1500 he argues you can pick upan old two cycle in fairly decentmechanical condition ldquobut not realprettyrdquo for no more than $150 andprobably not more than $100 if youlook in the right places He arguesmany old outboards are lightly usedand often hidden away and simplyforgotten

Maybe their owners traded for afashionable new four cycle Or thetwo cycle started having some prob-lems I know something about the lat-ter after going through severalstormy voyages on Lake Superiorand years of general use my 5 hp twocycle Nissan started cutting out at anyspeed other than idle and fast idle

This was by now at least a 12-year-old outboard that had beenused pretty hard I had maintainedthe engine entirely myself snap-ping in a new plug each seasondraining and replacing the lowercase oil and running the enginedry of gas before I put it away forthe season by storing it inside mybasement

I had purchased it for aSuperior trip after I bonged up myother two cycle a long shaft 5 hptwo-cycle Mariner which hadcaught its tip in an unexpected holein a Cornucopia Wisconsinlaunching ramp With horror I stillremember my wife Loris yellingto me ldquoYour outboards in thewaterrdquo It had broken its collar andI could not get it repaired rightaway in the area A friend of mineJoe Boland in his 35-foot catama-ran Tullamore Dew generouslydecided to loan me his new dinghyengine a Mercury 5 horsepowertwo cycle I screwed it tight on my

transom bracket straight out of itspacking carton It fired up rightaway and ran beautifully I came tolearn that Tohatsu made this as wellas my Nissan two cycle engine

But now my Nissan wasnrsquot run-ning right and I quickly learnedwhy ldquoAbout 90 percent of all twocycles that come into my shoprdquosaid Greg my small engine guruldquoare carb problemsrdquo His fix was torun some gunk and varnishremover through the carb and thatworked fine I also had him replacethe water impeller since the Nissanmaintenance manual which I final-ly had gotten around to readingagain said the rubber-type impellershould be replaced every two yearsAfter it had been changed afterabout 12 years I looked at the orig-inal it looked fine to me and themechanic said it looked good tohim though the new impeller pro-vided a slightly better ldquopeerdquo or dis-charge

But what about the oldldquodunkedrdquo two cycle Mariner AfterI pulled it out of Superiorrsquos icywaters I dried it carefully pulledthe spark plug and shot in some oilThen I shoved it into one corner ofmy garage lying on its side figur-ing Irsquod do something about it soon-er or later About seven years laterI got the broken metal collarreplaced with a used one I clampedthe engine in a bucket of waterconnected a running hose to keepup the water level and snapped onthe enginersquos old fuel supply-datingback to when the outboard gotdunked I pumped up the bulbchoked the engine then pulled itthrough a few times Within twohard pulls it whuffed into actionand ran just fine I decided to use itas a backup engine on Superior

These days I try to take bettercare of my two cycles I keep my

Nissan on its swing bracket onPersistencersquos transom covered witha Sunbrella cloth cover I fashionedmyself This cloth covering keepsthe sunrsquos heat off a bit and helps tokeep the gas from cooking off inthe carb during hot days I alwaysbegin each season with fresh newgas and keep only a small supply inmy auxiliary gas tank I dump somecarb cleaner in the gas supply -usually Seafoam I run lean 100-to-one synthetic oil mix in the gasand I use synthetic oil in the lowergears I snap in a new sparkplug atthe beginning of the season Andmost important I run the gas out ofthe engine on the boat (I unsnap thefuel-line connector to the engineand let the outboard run out of gas)before I haul Persistence at the endof the season I bring the engineindoors into my basement for stor-age upright in a warm place

From time to time I give it apat I owe my life to that littleengine but even so I couldnrsquot helpbut wonder if it was not the time tothink about a shiny new four strokeor contemplate eventually gettingone of the anticipated small-boreoil injected two strokes I men-tioned this to my outboard guruGreg who cut me off sharply ldquoIfyou had one of those during thestorm you wouldnrsquot have made itbackrdquo

That sharpened up my thinkingMaybe I was fortunate to have asimple reliable two stroke-espe-cially when I needed it Makes onethink doesnrsquot it

Tips for Sailing with Kids

Winterize Your BoatOf all 50 states which would you

guess had the most freeze-relat-ed claims Wisconsin MaineMichigan Minnesota Guess againAn examination of the BoatUSMarine Insurance claim files foundthat balmy California had more win-terizing claims than any other stateincluding any of the ldquodeep freezerdquostates While winters may be muchcolder in the deep-freeze states thebitter temperatures are a fact of lifeand preparations for winter are takenvery seriously But in the more tem-perate states like California FloridaTexas Louisiana Alabama andGeorgia winter tends to be relativelycomfortable in most areas with onlyan occasional cold spell And if theforecasts arenrsquot taken seriously theycan do a lot of damage

Storage AshoreIn some parts of the country

where winter means several monthsof bitterly cold weather storing boatsashore is the norm In warmer cli-mates however ice and snow mayoccur infrequently and the choicebetween storage ashore and storagein the water is open to discussion

Storage in the water means youmight get a jump on the boating sea-son next spring On the other handboats stored ashore (on high ground)wonrsquot sink If you have a choicestorage ashore is a safer bet Storageashore may also be less expensiveover the life of a boat since a hullsurrounded by air for several monthseach winter is less likely to developblisters than a hull that remains in thewater These blisters the fiberglassequivalent of rot occur on manyboats when water soaks into the lam-inate below the waterline

One note of caution The vastmajority of the claims in temperatestates involved boats that were being

stored ashore Since water retainsheat longer than air boats surroundedby air are more vulnerable to a sud-den freeze than boats surrounded bywater Even a brief cold spell thatlasts only a night or two can do con-siderable damage In temperatestates boat owners must winterizeengines and freshwater systemsespecially when boats are storedashore In deep freeze states boatsstored ashore must be winterized ear-lier than boats stored in the water

Storage in the WaterThis boat in Maryland sank when

itrsquos plastic thru-hull was shovedunderwater by the weight of thesnow the intake was broken by ice(the surveyor who inspected the dam-age suspected that it was alreadycracked) and water flowed into theboat (claim 870106)

If the boat must be left in thewater the thru-hulls have to be pro-tected by closing all seacocks andgate valves Leaving a thru-hullunprotected over the winter is likegoing on an extended vacation andleaving your homersquos front door openFailure to close thru-hulls is a majorcause of loss in the BoatUS insuranceprogram In a recent study of 40 win-ter-related claims seacocks or gatevalves left open caused or con-tributed to the sinking of seven of theboats in the sample group It shouldbe noted that raising and refurbishinga boat that sinks even at a dock is adaunting job that can keep the boat inthe repair yard for many weeks overthe spring and summer Whenever aboat is stored in the water over thewinter all thru-hulls with the excep-tion of the ones for cockpit drainsmust be closed or it could be on thebottom next spring And all thru-hulls especially the ones for thecockpit drains must be double-

clamped with stainless steel hoseclamps at each end This is criticalWhen water freezes it expands andwill lift a poorly secured hose off ofa fitting The hose itself is alsoimportant Lightweight hose andPVC tubing can rupture or crack Useonly a heavily reinforced hose espe-cially at cockpit drains

If your boat has thru-hulls belowthe waterline that canrsquot be closedeither because they are mechanicallyfrozen open or have broken (typicalwith gate valves which is why theyare not recommended) it should bestored ashore for the winter

Seacocks are closed by movingthe handle down so that the handle isparallel to the hull Gate valves areclosed by turning the wheel clock-wise After the seacock or gate valvehas been closed remove the hose sothat it drains and then use anabsorbent cloth or turkey baster toeliminate any residual water whichcan freeze and crack the nipple(Taking off the hose also assures youthat the valve has closed properly)Reinstall the hose immediately andsecure the two clamps

It should be noted that thru-hullsabove the waterline are not requiredto have seacocks and most donrsquotThat doesnrsquot mean that these thru-hulls arenrsquot vulnerable Ordinaryplastic thru-hulls deteriorate in sun-light and have been broken whenthey were shoved underwater by theweight of snow and ice in the cock-pit which then sinks the boat Plasticthru-hulls near the waterline areespecially vulnerable and should bereplaced with bronze or Marelon (thelatter is the only type of plasticapproved for marine use by UL)

Winterizing ContractsWith a winterizing contract

make sure that everything is spelledout Does the contract specify cover-


ing the boat or winterizing the headHow about closing the seacocks

ldquoI Thought the Yard Would TakeCare of Thatrdquo

A casual agreement to take careof the boat or worse an assumptionthat a marina or boatyard automati-cally protects boats from an unex-pected freeze can have chillingresults

Claim 920726 The skipper wasseriously ill so he called the boat-yard and casually asked if they couldwinterize his houseboat No prob-lem The boat was hauled andblocked The enginersquos cooling systemwas drained and non-toxic anti-freeze flushed throughout the fresh-water system Unfortunately anexpensive winter cover that had beenstored below was left untouched in alocker and the boat was left to endurethe harsh Minnesota winter au natu-ral

Winterizing EnginesEngines donrsquot like to be idle

even for three or four months overthe winter BoatUS Marine Insuranceclaim files contain many stories ofengines that froze and failed afterskippers failed to winterize theirengine properly Generally engineblocks that freeze and crack are notcovered by a boatrsquos insurance policy

But even if the engine makes itthrough the winter a half-heartedwinterizing effort will come back tohaunt you as the engine gets olderand wears out prematurely Unless itis winterized properly moistureacids and corrosion will continueunabated Winterizing the engine isone job that is truly critical followthe steps below and consult yourmanual for specifics

Down BelowMost marinas are like floating

ghost towns over the winter with lit-tle to deter prowlers Electronics andother valuables that can be dismount-ed should be taken home for safe-

keeping If you have an EPIRBmake sure it wonrsquot be activated acci-dentally

Besides electronics all flamma-blesmdashspare cooking fuels charcoalpaints thinners and varnishmdashshouldbe stored ashore preferably in a toolshed away from the house All arefire hazards Portable propane canis-ters should never be stored below ona boat even during the season as thecanisters can rust and leak Leave atleast one fully charged fire extin-guisher in clear sight

Take home all food stuffsincluding canned and bottled goodsBunk cushions should be propped upor better yet taken home Open vari-ous locker doors hatches ice boxlids etc to circulate air and inhibitmildew Metal zippers on cushionswill benefit from a few squirts of alight lubricating oil

On DeckIn addition to ensuring cockpit

drains are clear having a boat covercan keep the cockpit from filling withice and snow and dragging down theboat

If your boat could talk it wouldaskmdashperhaps pleadmdashfor a winterstorage cover Winter covers typical-ly canvas or synthetic are a terrificbenefit to your boatrsquos gelcoat andgeneral well-being Canvas coverstend to last longer but are also moreexpensive than their synthetic coun-terparts

With any cover a frame eitherwood or aluminum should be used tocirculate air and prevent pooling onthe cover Merely draping an old tarpover a cabin may do more harm thangood

Shrink wrapping a techniqueborrowed from grocery and depart-ment store packagers is being usedby some boatyards to keep boats dryover the winter With shrink wrap-ping heat is applied to a thin plasticso fits snugly over a plastic frame Atthe end of the season the entire cover

including the frame is disposed ofWhile shrink wrapping is very effec-tive at keeping moisture out it willalso trap moisture inside and createhorrendous mildew problems if ventsarenrsquot used along the entire length ofthe cover Another problem Cabinsand decks painted with two-partpolyurethane paints may peel or bub-ble Vents should be used along theentire length of the cover Inserting aseries of foam pads between the hulland cover also allows condensationto escape

Finally some skippers mistaken-ly believe that biminis which shieldthe crew from glaring sun will alsoprotect the boat from freezing rainand snow Quite the contrary expen-sive biminis tend to get ripped apartor aged prematurely while doingabsolutely nothing to protect theboat Biminis should be stowedbelow or better yet taken home andcleaned over the winter

Applying lsquoLeveragersquoby David Dellenbaugh

Itrsquos hard to talk about windshifts without consideringthe subject of ldquoleveragerdquo Leverage is what you get

when you sit on the edge of a seesaw stand at the endof a diving board or use a trapeze wire to hang outover the side of a boat

In the realm of strategy and tactics leverage is aboatrsquos potential to gain or lose when the wind changesdirection Itrsquos essentially a function of the lateral dis-tance between boats across a race course The fartherapart two boats are the more leverage they have oneach other and vice versa

Knowing the geometry of leverage is very impor-tant for understanding how much distance you couldgain or lose as the result of even a small windshift Agood rule of thumb is that for every 5 degree changein wind direction you will gain or lose roughly 10 ofthe lateral distance between you and other boatsYoursquoll gain on every boat that is farther away from theshift than you and yoursquoll lose to every boat that iscloser

For example letrsquos say you are racing up the firstbeat and your toughest competitor is even with you inthe race but 20 boatlengths to your right Now sup-


1 The left boat and right boat are racing upwind They are approximately 20 boatlengths apart and each has atacking angle of about 80 degrees The wind was initially blowing directly from the north (000 degrees) and theboats were exactly even in the race (because they were on the same lsquoladder rungrsquo)

Lev er age n1 mechanical power resulting from the action of alever2 increased means of accomplishing some purpose


2 Now the wind shifts five degrees to the right (005 degrees) This puts the right boat ahead (on a higher ladderrung) because she was closer to the shift According to the chart a five-degree shift means that boats gain orlose 11 of the lateral separation between them So in this case the right boat has gained 22 boatlengths (11of 20 lengths) and the left boat has lost the same amount

ldquoLeveragerdquo is the lateral separation between boats on the race course By lateral we mean the amount of sepa-ration in a direction that is roughly perpendicular to the wind If one boat is directly upwind of another neitherhas any leverage In this photo however the fleet is pretty spread out The boats on each side of the coursehave quite a bit of separation from boats on the other side of the course

The Nature of LeverageLeverage is especially impor-

tant whenever the wind is shiftingpersistently because this wind doesnot return to a median direction sogains and losses are more lsquoperma-

nentrsquo than with oscillating shiftsIn addition persistent shifts areoften larger and occur when boatsare spread far apart

When the wind shifts (persist-ently or otherwise) the amount of

pose the wind shifts 5 degrees tothe right (in his favor) You havejust lost about 10 of 20 lengthsso you are roughly two lengthsbehind him


distance you gain or lose is rough-ly proportional to two things

1) The lateral separationbetween boats

If a boat that is 20 lengthsaway gains 2 lengths in a wind-shift a boat that is 40 lengths awaywill gain 4 lengths in the sameshift If you have a tiny persistentshift of just one degree (which isalmost impossible to measure) aboat that is 100 feet away will gainonly about 2 feet but a boat that ishalf a mile away in the other cor-ner of the beat will gain more than60 feet

2) The size of the windshiftIf one boat gains 4 boatlengths

on another in a 10 degree shift thesame boat will gain 8 lengths in a20 degree shift

When you combine the poten-tial separation between boats on along beat or run with persistentshifts that are commonly as muchas 10 degrees or 20 degrees itrsquosobvious you can gain or lose a lotby getting leverage

The tactics of leverageHaving a lot of leverage on or

separation from other boats is notnecessarily good or bad - itdepends on a lot of factors

Perhaps the most important is theconcept of risk and reward

While you are racing itrsquosalways good to ask yourself onequestion Am I happy with myposition in this race If youranswer is yes you shouldnrsquot takemuch risk If you answer no thenyou would normally be willing totake more of a risk to improveyour position

One way to increase your risk(more chance to gain but alsomore chance to lose) is by increas-ing your leverage For exampleyou might split from the boatsahead and sail toward the oppositeside of the beat Similarly if youwant to minimize risk you shouldreduce leverage and stay near thefleet

Leverage is closely related tothe idea of lsquocoveringrsquo When youwant to stay ahead of another boatyou should cover them tightlyusually by staying directly towindward of them That way theydonrsquot have any leverage on youand you wonrsquot risk losing muchdistance if the wind shifts

When yoursquore behind and youneed to pass another boat try tobreak their cover by getting awayfrom them The farther ahead ofyou they are the more separationor leverage you need inorder tohave a chance to gain enough tocatch them Obviously itrsquos betterto get leverage (or prevent otherboats from getting leverage onyou) in the direction of the nextwindshift

The US Coast Guard wants toestablish 34 permanent safety

zones on the five Great Lakes so itscrews can practice firing machineguns rifles and 9mm guns accordingto numerous press accounts TheGuard says its crews need to train forcombating terrorists and interceptingsmugglers

The proposed zones have upsetferry boat owners fishing enthusiastssailors and environmentalists -- mostof whom missed the Guards Aug 1call for public comment published inthe Federal Register Congressionalconcerns from Michigan WisconsinMinnesota and Ohio forced the Guardto extend the comment period toNovember 13th

The zones include areas nearshore lines and where public ferriescross the waters Initially CmdrGustav Wulfkuhle of the Guards 9thDistrict told the Detroit Free Pressthere were no plans to extend the com-ment period or hold public hearings

The Guard promises that boatersand shipping companies will bewarned away from the zones whenlive-fire exercises are being conduct-ed according to a release

But Bob Bokram harbormaster atone Detroit-area marina told theDetroit Free Press hes worried aboutsome people not getting the word Hesaid most boats that use his marina aresmall and dont have or use marineradios Most people communicate bycell phone he said

According to the Guards notice inthe Federal Register there would be14 safe firing zones on LakeMichigan seven on Lake Superior sixon Lake Huron four on Lake Erie andthree on Lake Ontario

Two US Coast Guard boats fired

machine guns at a floating target onLake Superior eight miles off TwoHarbors MN drawing criticism fromthe mayor of Duluth

Coast Guard crews fired the M-240 machine guns about eight milesoffshore from Two Harbors saidChief Petty Office Robert Lanierspokesman for the Coast GuardsGreat Lakes district based inCleveland

Duluth Mayor Herb Bergson saidhe had been led to believe there wouldbe no live fire exercises during theCoast Guards extended public com-ment period on the issue which runsthrough Nov 13

Lanier said the target practice wasannounced on marine band radioChannel 16 more than two hoursbefore firing began and every 10 min-utes during the exercise

At least two pleasure craft wit-nessed the firing

Im outraged I would think thepublic is outraged Bergson said at ahastily called news conferenceTuesday afternoon

Lanier said Tuesday that creationof the permanent zones was put onhold but live-fire training was notand that there are no plans to suspendexercises during the public discussionon creating the training zones

We need to do the necessarytraining to conduct our missions ofmaritime safety homeland securityand national defense We neverintended to say that we were puttingtraining on hold Lanier said

The Coast Guard has held 24 live-fire exercises across the Great Lakesthis year and at least two more arescheduled though not on LakeSuperior he said

Bergson criticized the live-fire

training because of the lead bulletsthat fall into Lake Superior At a timewhen the federal government is push-ing efforts to clean up the Great Lakesand with state officials encouraginganglers to use lead-free fishing tacklehe said the same government is put-ting toxic lead on the lake bottom

Bergson said the live-fire issuecame up during a teleconference lastweek among several Great Lakesmayors members of the Great Lakesand St Lawrence Cities Initiative

Everyone was concerned aboutit he said

The mayor said he opposes alllive-fire training on the Great LakesHe said the shooting should be doneon land at police ranges where lead iscontrolled

Lanier said an internal CoastGuard environmental review found nomajor impact

The machine guns on the cutterscan fire 600 rounds per minute TheCoast Guard hired consultants andconcluded that no damage wouldoccur to the environment

The Michigan EnvironmentalCouncil isnt so sure If the data arentavailable to the public there is no wayto determine whether that claim isaccurate the council said in com-ments to the Guard Federal law pro-hibits hunters from using lead shotbecause its toxic to waterfowl thecouncil said

Cmdr Gustav Wulfkuhle of the9th Districts enforcement divisionsaid the ammunition that will be usedin the live-fire exercises is lead insidea copper jacket about the size of a 13-ounce lead fishing weight

Where we will be shooting 5miles offshore the water is deep hesaid We wont be shooting in marsh-

es so waterfowl cant pick it upWulfkuhle said few fish feed on

the bottomMany Canadians were insulted

when the Bush Administration decid-ed to arm the US Coast Guard boatson the Great Lakes with the 600 roundper minute machine guns In the wakeof the War of 1812 the US andCanada agreed in a treaty to outlawgunboats on the Great Lakes In theaftermath of September 11 the twogovernments agreed to amend thetreaty Mike Bradley mayor of SarniaOntario told the Free Press of LondonOntario that he was stunned to learnthat one of the sites chosen for prac-tice firing lies about twelve milesnorth of Sarnia which is across the StClair River from Port HuronMichigan

The Sarnia mayor seemed uncon-vinced that any military firing close toCanadian waters can be justified ldquoWetreasure the Great Lakes as a safezone not as a free-fire zonerdquo Bradleytold the London Free Press ldquoThis issimply unacceptable You can see thepotential for tragedy I find it incom-prehensible this would even be con-sideredrdquo

Publisherrsquos Note

I am a retired navy surface war-fare officer with a fairly extensivebackground in training and firing sim-ilar weapons off of small navy shipsThe US Coast Guard would be muchbetter off establishing one firing rangefor the entire Great Lakes where theywould send their crews to be trainedunder some very stringent guidelinesenforced by senior personnel usingspecial environmentally friendlyammunition

Most of the Coast Guard person-nel are quite young eighteen to twen-ty-two years old aboard these smallboats The weaponry described in thisarticle is very dangerous These exer-cises are probably an accident waitingto happen The mayors of SarniaOntario and Duluth Minnesota anddozens of other cities have every rightto be concerned as do you the averagerecreational sailor

And what about the environmen-tal impact of dumping lead into ourmostly pristine lakes We as a nationshould have better sense by now than

to take these kinds of risks whichfuture generations will pay for Pleaseadd your voice against this crazy planHerersquos how

Major Course Changefor Pacific SeacraftCorporation

At the Annual dealer gathering inFullerton Pacific SeacraftCorporation unveiled a bold initiativethat promises to put the Californiayacht manufacturer at the forefront ofthe cruising sailboat market In addi-tion to their own Pacific Seacraft tra-ditional-style cruisers they now man-ufacture and market the Saga brand ofhigh performance cruisers The recentaddition of Saga models to its lineoptimizes Pacific Seacraftrsquos produc-tion efficiency and also attracts a freshnew sailing slientele to its expandedline of products The companyrsquos newbusiness strategy is designed to capi-talize on the synergies between thebrands

A key element in PacificSeacraftrsquos future plans is the recentappointment of Allan Poole to theCEO position Mr Poole is a life-longindustry veteran with solid manage-ment credentials from executive stintsat several leading North American andEuropean boat builders He began hiscareer in Great Britain as a boat-builder immediately after graduationfrom Strathclyde University inGlasgow with a degree in engineeringSubsequently he has held high levelpositions at several US and Canadianfirms A lifelong sailor his sailingresume ranges from world champi-onship IOR ldquoTon Cuprdquo racing tocruising around the Caribbean withhis wife and family

At the recent Pacific SeacraftDealer meeting Poole advised thedealers ldquoPacific Seacraft is commit-ted to expand on its 28 year record ofbuilding lsquoAmericarsquos Best Cruising

Sailboatsrsquo according to FortuneMagazine and not just rely on a welldeserved reputationrdquo

I do see a golden opportunity toenhance the quality durability andvalue of the Pacific Seacraft line byembracing technical advances madeavailable to us in the 21st centuryrdquoPoole added ldquoThe addition of Saga toour product line earlier this year intro-duced an array of modern materialsand methods to our plant and itsemployees The Pacific Seacraft linecan profoundly benefit from this syn-ergy as we apply these advances toour Pacific Seacraft brand In thesame vein the current Sagas we arenow building have already beenblessed with a myriad of refinementsin specification and quality upgradestaken from the Pacific Seacraft legacyas we have adapted the Saga productto suit our standard in-house prac-ticesrdquo

Although the specifics were notmade public Poole indicated planningfor business through 2008 was welldeveloped Production capacity hasrecently been increased and finallytwo completely new Pacific Seacraftmodels are now under developmentwith one just handed over to BillCrealock this past week

Poole concluded ldquoI am excitedand invigorated by this challenge Itrsquosan honor and an opportunity to takethe helm at this time in its history andguide it to a new level of prominencein this millennium I sense the samekind of excitement as the thrill of tak-ing departure for a long ocean voyage- itrsquos the beginning of a great adven-ture I invite our dealers our ownersand fans as well as industry observersto pay close attention to PacificSeacraft We have a lot of news forth-comingrdquo

UNIQUE LADDER DESIGN KEEPS BOATERS SAFEFalling off the dock or boat into the often-frigid waters of Lake Superior can be embar-

rassing but it can also be dangerous Gordy Ringberg at Pikersquos Bay Marina in Bayfield WIinstalled 124 Up-N-Outtrade Safety Ladders which feature a unique design that prevents themfrom curling under the dock when let down into the water This provides an easy-to-use solu-tion for climbing out of the water after a dunking

Ringberg positioned one ladder for every two slips and set up ladders more frequentlywhere appropriate Though WI does not require marinas to have these ladders Ringberg saidan incident in the summer of 2004 prompted him to research what was available

ldquoOne of our boaterrsquos guests fell into the water and panicked a bit because there was noeasy way to climb outrdquo he said

The Up-N-Out Safety Ladder has 5 steps each with a 12 rise and has been tested to support 1000 poundsMade of all-stainless steel components the ladder can be used in both salt and fresh water When deployed theladder extends 30 to 48 It is anchored by a powder-coated plate with a highly visible yellow Innotek polyarmorcoating and is labeled for emergencies only

Ringberg likes the Up-N-Out because itrsquos easy to use and doesnrsquot look like a swim ladder which helps dis-courage swimming He also favors the patented design of the ladder and that it stores up and out of the water
