For twenty years, from 1963 to 1983, Bill Danforth was Chairman of our Race Committee. He In looking back through 43 years presided over three races each year for a unique group of sailors: some of long experience; some of yearbooks I found that a number of very limited experience; some who knew the racing rules chapter and verse, many who had of issues have been dedicated to peo- some idea of some of the rules and a few whose idea of "right of way" was "don't you hit my boat." ple who have contributed to the Friendship Sloop Society. Some of Bill's first concern was for our safety. I cannot remember any storms, but he would often call off these people I knew, or knew about, a race or shorten a course if fog shut down. Then with radar antenna whirling, he would go in some of them were people I only search of errant sloops. learned of through the dedication of Before every race, skippers would gather on the wharf below the porch of the Roberts' house in the yearbook.

We would all synchronize our watches with his and he would boat, it is often difficult to get to explain any confusion or misunderstanding of the racing rules such as the difference between port and starboard tacks, what you do if you hit a mark and the mysteries of buoy room. know everyone and understand what different people bring to the group. As race time approached, Bill had twenty or thirty sloops scattered over Friendship's outer har- bor, but Bill stuck firmly to his schedule, his cannoneer firing guns precisely in the proper order Although Bill Danforth's involvement with the Society ended just before my family and his flagman displaying the proper flags.

8 Enduring Friendships and off we went - destination Jewell Island off Portland. Now with a powerboat if you want to go someplace, you plot a course, start the engine and steer the course that you plotted. Piece of cake. On the Eagle, no such By Adrian Hooydonk thing happened. No plotting, no starting of the engine, and no running on a plotted course, or at the least so it seemed to me. First left, then right, then left again and so on. Years ago, when a good friend and colleague of mine asked me if I could do her a tremendous favor, It did not take very long at all for me to realize that I no longer had any clue as to where I was or where little did I know where this would lead? I said "yes, of course", and had I known then what I know now, I we were headed. The Captain, however, was tucked quite comfortably in a little nook behind the wheel, puff- would still have said, "yes of course", but perhaps a little faster.

Lobstering was lousy, the Eagle was a lovely boat, the Captain seemed to be a nice guy, others, even when they are, as was in my case, totally ignorant about the subject. Captain Huston sure falls and I could use a break, so sure, why not?

Caroline had performed at least five marriages for my ship- mates by this time, as she was a Notary Public in Maine. She was known as "Marrying Caroline" aboard the ships.

In 19641 was the pastor in Brewer and the Rev. Jerry Kinney was Director of the new Methodist Home Southwest Harbor, Maine in Rockland. Jerry invited me to crew on the Margin, #36, with him. We did all right, winning the Palawan 04679 Trophy for Class C that year. (207) 244-3795 My interest kindled, I found Phil Nichols building Surprise, #49 in his boat shop, just behind my folk's home in Round Pond. Phil asked Bruce Cunningham, his son Paul, my son Andy and me to crew for him. Phil believed in the old ways; we used a bucket, a wood stove and wind for power. One race we drifted into Friendship Harbor with the tide, about 9 PM, long after everyone else had gone to the hall for supper. Son Peter who had his first trip on Margin as a baby went with me in the 70s and we crewed on Newman Downeaster, # 39 and Vida Mia, #15 among others. Marine Brokerage Nancy and I were married in April of 1980. She said she liked the water so we went to Friendship and 254 Main Street crewed on The Golden Anchor, #171 and the next days on Minerva, #101. David Hotelling, the owner, Southwest Harbor, ME 04679 asked me to skipper as he was new to the boat. We placed 5th two days in a row and all were happy. Jarvis Newman, Broker In 1981 Al Beck asked us aboard Phoenix, # 91 and that began a wonderful 11 years of crewing on Kathe N. Fait, Broker Phoenix. Al asked if I would help, with Ted Brown, sail the boat from Kittery. Much of the way was in fog Tel. No. (207) 244-5560 FAX No. (207) 244-0480 www.jarvisnewman.com but we had a good time, arriving at the Bath Marine Museum after what Ted Brown called "pulling the We presently have several used wood and glass Friendships. boat up the Kennebec by the sheets". When the Becks moved to Vinalhaven, Ted and I would take the ferry We also have other sail boats and many power boats. Please stop by, call or email us at [email protected] and then together with Al the three of us would cruise to the races. Al introduced us to swimming at the Basin, sailing in the fog on Penobscot Bay and restful nights at Harbor Island or Poorhouse Cove. Come race day, Ann and Tad Beck, Bob Stein and Nancy Bell joined us for crew. What an honor it was for me to be asked to conduct services for Ted on The Constitution, in Boston Harbor, and for Al, at Philips Andover Academy. In 1993 we were staying at the Newagen Inn and sailing out of the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club. Nancy and I met Bob Jacobson and were invited aboard Persererance, # 83. In 1994 we sailed on Resolute, # 123, with Charlie Burnham, and Banshee # 180, with the Wojciks. In 1995 the races were invited to Rockland and we crewed for Doug & Irene Amsbary on Departure, #156. I think that was the year Surprise sailed too close across our bow and we took off 10 feet of its boom. In 1997 we again sailed with Bob Jacobson on Perseverance, #83. Bob put me on the helm as he instructed the crew and took care of the sails. In light to no air we were about to drift onto the breakwater when the committee boat said to "motor to the starting line". In light air the race was shortened to end off Owl's Head. By then the only thing moving us was the outgoing tide. Some boats drifted into the rocks, some outside the finish line but we had picked the middle and drifted past all but 4 boats to finish 5th overall. In 1990 we joined Richard Stanley on Endeavor, # 196 and again in 2001 when the five of us went swimming in Penobscot Bay after a 30 knot gust of wind blew us over and the boat sank in about one minute. Thank God Ralph Stanley was watching our good progress in the race and motored his committee boat, 7 Girls, over to pull us out of the water. In 2002 we crewed on Sazerac, # 44, a boat we had watched in Round Pond Harbor in the early 60s. Now it is 2004, my 40th and Nancy's 24th year. Who needs a crew this year? What wonderful memo- ries we have. What good friends we have sailed with and shared stories with at the meals afterwards. How good it has been to see the Friendship Sloop Society grow and continue over the 40 years.
