In college as stroke paddler of the , his team established the four mile record. He was a member of the Seminole Canoe Club in Jacksonville, FL for over 26 years, and a Club Commodore.

In 1934 and 1936 he was the Cruising Record Holder. In 1934 he was the first canoeist to explore then Great Okeefenoke Swamp and cross it from north to south and east to west. By 1959 he had paddled over 6500 miles on Florida streams. Mallison worked hard annually at the Gator Bowl Regatta to promote and canoe sailing.

Since 1968 there has been a Community Park named after him: west of Jacksonville, FL- Mallison Park and Center. He was the Superintendent of the City’s Recreation Department for over 30 years.

Canoe Sailor 40 page 5 anoe Sailing in the ACA continues at Sugar Island, since the 1880 ACA First Call and 1903 first Sugar Island Encampment, Here’s how itC kept going from post World War II until 1980, when the NY Bay Sailors Cabin , was the bedroom for IC sailors from NY thanks to Danny Zwart.

“DANNY” ZWART (1900-1980) AND SUGAR ISLAND

Daniel (“Danny”) Richard Zwart first arrived at Sugar Island approximately 1932 from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York with his wood-canvas Class “B” open boat sailing canoe, “Clipper.” During that Annual American Canoe Association Encampment he borrowed a deck boat (now known as a 10 sq. meter sailing canoe) for a sail from Commodore Ralph B. Britton. The experience was so thrilling that after returning to Sheepshead Bay, he purchased one of his own, “Ficus”, and subsequently began building a series of deck boats retaining the “Clipper” name for each of them. (He also introduced Class C sailor Lou Whitman to that category of sailing canoe and Lou subsequently introduced sailor Ed Kattel to canoe sailing.)

The Encampments became a regular destination for almost 50 years until 1980, “Sugar” having become his other love, the first of which was sailing. His tent would be pitched to the east of Swale Bay, the mini-bay off of New York (“Sailors’”) Bay in “Buck Camp,” the part of the Island reserved for men only during encampments at that time. At some point he began cooking for other deck boat sailors, such that Bill who had the tent platform on Thornmore Terrace on the west side of the mouth of the Bay recommended that Danny take over his site when he retired. When Danny did become the site’s occupant, he constructed a new platform, but he kept a photograph of Bill sailing his canoe on the wall of the cabin he built there later.

At that time Commodore Henry (“Henny”) Jahn encouraged Danny to apply to the ACA Board of Governors’ Cabin Committee for a cabin permit. Danny did so and at the Committee’s meeting Henny supported the application saying that “it would be an encouragement for the deck boat sailors for Danny to have a cabin.” The permit was granted and the following summer Danny built his cabin on top of the new platform. Partitioned off from the cabin’s kitchen and dining areas, the sleeping area was furnished with three sets of double- deck bunks, such that in addition to cooking for them, he could now also provide lodging for his sailing comrades staying in Buck Camp. Deck boat sailors new to the Island were often provided a bunk and meals if they so desired. Along with Roger Wilkinson, Danny was instrumental in getting the old Central Division Trophy transferred to Sugar as a perpetual trophy for the open boats. For many years Danny served as the Sugar Island Sailing Chairman, providing both the committee boat and the race course marks. He would run the sailing races for all the classes (other than the deck boats when he himself was racing with the deck boats). After having built his cabin he began spending more time at the Island, going there just after the Atlantic Division’s deck boats Championship races around July 4th and remaining until just before their National Championship races on Labor Day weekend. By Bob Clausen, nephew

Canoe Sailor 40 page 6 legends of canoe sailing 1940-50’s History from Bob Clausen with notes from Fay Jordaens According to notes from Robert Clausen, nephew of renowned decked boat sailor/designer Danny Zwart, the following information pertains to the careers of Lou Whitman and Dan:

“Lou and Danny did not design and build their open-boat canoes. They took stock wood-canvas canoes and rigged them for sailing [i.e., installed masts, leeboards and rudders].That also meant figuring out where to locate the mast and lee-boards so that the latter would be directly below the center-of-effort of the sail, which meant determining where the center of effort was. Also, the whole craft had to be `balanced.’ That is achieved by placing the mast at a proper distance from the bow, so that when carrying the weight of the skipper, the boat would be neither stern nor bow heavy. Lou was an expert at this, to such an extent that anyone sailing a canoe that he had rigged for himself, who did not have approximately the same weight as Lou, would not be able to maximize its performance.”

“When Ruth and Lou bought a house in Miami, Lou resumed Class C racing as there was not a Deck Boat fleet at the Miami Yacht Club. He had inducted Ed Kattel into Deck Boats, but due to back problems, Ed gave that up and the next thing I knew, both he and Lou were sailing Cs in Miami. Ed became a repeating National Champion while Lou was sailing Decks at City Island.”

“In 1975, Lou bested Ed in the Dixie Division Championship and then Lou, Ed and Ed’s son Eddie brought Cs to Sugar Island and re-started C racing there. Lou again bested Ed in both the `Around Sugar Island’ race and the three race “Championship’ series. At that time Lou donated a Lou Whitman (left) and Danny Zwart (right) perpetual trophy for the former race. Lou brought his C to Sugar again in ‘76’ and in `77.’ In ‘78, Ed brought his C to Sugar after the Nationals in NJ, and again in 1980, following the Association’s Centennial Regatta at Lake George, N.Y.”

Fay’s notes: While Danny owned, designed and built, several `Clippers’ [5 or 6], he eventually bought and raced a `Manana.’ Lou’s first recorded deck-canoe design was a boat he registered in 1940. He designed `Manana’ I and II during the 1940’s winning races with them, then, in the 1960’s, he designed his `Phoenix.’ Lou owned and sailed Nethercott’s and a Proctor, but when he raced in the international races he sailed his `Manana II.’ Lou and Danny were competitors on the race course but as designers, they argued over every aspect of their boats, somehow managing to remain life long friends. All of his life, Lou was the driving force behind the Brooklyn and City Island fleet, and gradually, grudgingly, he recognized that in Steve Clark, the IC was in very capable hands.

Danny, born in 1900, died in 1980 and Lou, born in 1906, died a decade later. Both men raced their decked boats an unusually long time. According to Bob Clausen, Danny’s last competitive year was during his last encampment at Sugar Island in 1979. While he didn’t win, Lou sailed in the Grant’s Boat Club Regattas at City Island in 1983 and 1984. For some reason, Lou felt a need to apologize to me for his poor performance. He said “I’m sorry Fay, I seem to have lost my snap!” In 1984 Lou owed no one an explanation. Not only did he sail against great champions like Steve and Hannah Clark, but he was two years away from his 80th birthday!

Sportsmanship includes fairness, courtesy, friendliness and many other qualities that are just as important on shore as on the water.

What is fair sailing? The rule book states: Fundamental Rule 2 – Fair Sailing: A boat and her owner shall compete in compliance with recognized principles of sportsmanship and fair play. A boat may be penalized under this rule only if it is clearly established that these principles have been violated. So, if you hit a buoy the penalty is to sail a 360, or a circle. If you hit another boat the penalty is to sail two circles. Rules say sometimes you have to give someone else room and avoid contact with another boat. Racing is all about improving your sailing skills. Rules are about a level playing field for all competitors. Of course, you are not allowed to make up rules so you have to read the US Sailing Racing Rules- Available at www.ussailing.org
