RIPTIDE was built in 1927 by Frank E and William J Schertzer, owners of Schertzer Brothers Boat and Machine Company, which was then located at 1115 Northlake Avenue on the north end of Lake Union near the foot of Stone Way in Seattle. Her original owners are as yet unknown.
RIPTIDE is 47 feet 1-inch long with a beam of 11 feet 10-inches and a draft of four feet. She is planked in port orford cedar riveted to white oak frames over an apitong backbone with western red cedar houses. She displaces about 10 tons, relatively light for a boat this size.
A Coast Guard documented vessel, RIPTIDE carries documentation number 226242 carved into the interior face of both port and starboard bilge stringers.
RIPTIDE is powered by remanufactured Cummins B210 5.9 liter turbo-charged diesel of 210hp. While her top speed is over 14 knots at 2400 rpm, her cruising speed is a much more sedate 9 knots at 1500 rpm. She carries 300 gallons of diesel fuel.
She was overhauled by the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op in Port Townsend WA in 2015, completely recaulked by John Zimmer of Palouse Boatworks, and painted and varnished by Diane Salguero of Salguero Marine Services. 2017 work included replacing the aft portion of the pilothouse and adding six new portlights forward and repainting the boat.
RIPTIDE's hailing port is Port Ludlow WA. She is usually moored in Port Madison, on Bainbridge Island, WA.

4840. Welcome to a time capsule of one morning at Garden Island, Sydney in early 1984. Young midshipmen from the Royal Australian Naval College, HMAS CRESWELL at Jervis Bay are embarked on their training ship, HMAS JERVIS BAY [I] at Garden Island, Sydney, and about to leave on a training cruise to New Zealand.
In the days before departure, however, groups of young midshipmen are lowered away down the towering sides of the 8,770 ton former ANL-owned ro-ro passenbger and vehicle ferry for boatwork training around the Garden Island naval base, HMAS KUTTABUL, or Fleet Base East as it is also called.
We think the exercise provides glimpses the ships alongside in 1984 which now - more than 27 years later - become more worth preserving and viewing with every year that passes.

4843. HMAS JERVIS BAY's boats are diesel-equpped, access to the engine already readied for use here.
Our memory is that, with aircraft carrier HMAS MELBOURNE [II] paid off on June 30, 1982, and about to be sold in 1985, this was a period when the RAN was still absorbing the shock of not having a major combat warship as flagship for almost the first time since its inception [Town Class cruisers had carried the role after the scuttling of HMAS AUSTRALIA [I] in 1922].
Whatever residual hopes the RAN may still have held at this time for the restoration of the fixed wing Fleet Air Arm, it was destined to remain a destroyer escort, frigates and submarines Navy for decades until the present.
The RAN flagship in 1984 was 10,500-15,500 tons [fl] escort maintenance ship HMAS STALWART [II].

CATRIONA M
The Catriona M was built in Forster by Alf Jahnsen for David McDonald Brown (David “Mac” Brown) in 1965; she was registered in 1966.
This was the second boat built for Brown by Alf Jahnsen in Forster– the first was the Catriona Mc Donald with the sail number CYC25; "Mac" Brown referred to her as the Catriona. When Brown sold the Catriona McDonald in 1960 to Dr. Russell and Mrs Phyllis Roxburgh she was renamed Phyllis Graham and was allocated the sail number 63.
David McDonald Brown retained the Sail number CYC25 and used the name Catriona to describe his new yacht, the Catriona M.

RACING
She competed in the 1966 Sydney-Hobart yacht race and was placed 24th on Corrected time. She raced again in the next Sydney Hobart (1967) and was placed 21st . David “Mac” Brown was skipper in both races
This race ended David “Mac”Brown’s ocean racing career as he caught a crew member falling from the mizzen and threw his back out. She remained moored in the Lane Cove River for a few years and then, sold to Brian Folbigg.
In 1973 Brian Folbigg purchased the Catriona M and raced in the 1974 Sydney-Hobart – she was skippered by Brian Folbigg.
In 1979 participated in the 1979 UTA-Peugeot Sydney-Noumea Arbitrary Division Race.
She came 2nd - the following describes the race:
“At the last minute 'Catriona M' moved in to the Arbitrary Division. A handsome Warwick Hood 40 footer, she is a solid cruising yawl in the traditional manner and a sea boat par excellence.
(Note to Yankee Editor: A Yawl is a two master with the mizzen mast aft of the rudder post, not a mountaineer from south of the Mason-Dixon Line. I'm still in Noumea harbour.) She reaches well but would need a lot of wind to stay close enough to be in a winning position even with her low TCF. She got all she needed, or almost all; she was pipped at the post by a mere 7½ minutes on corrected time after 9½ days at sea” - Offshore No 49. Aug/Sept 1979
In 1989 she participated in the Darwin to Ambon Race.

This was to be her last race under the ownership of Brian Folbigg.
CRUISING
In 1980 she was purchased by Jack Christoffersen
In the 1990s the Catriona M was fitted with cherry-wood interior by Brooklin Boatworks, Maine USA, designed by Joel White - 6 berths.
His OBIT (New York Times 10th December 1997) reads “Joel White, a naval architect and boat builder who was considered to be one of the country's foremost designers of wooden boats, died Friday at his home in Brooklin, Me. He was 66.
Working out of his Brooklin Boat Yard just south of Acadia National Park for the last four decades, Mr. White created dinghies, sailboats, power boats and yachts with a unifying design theme -- simplicity.
''In a world gone crazy for gadgets and goo-gaws on boats, he preserved a sense of elegance and purity,'' said John Wilson, the editor in chief of WoodenBoat magazine, to which Mr. White contributed designs. ''His was the world of traditional wooden boats and yachts. And he was not interested in self-aggrandisement. He was not seeking monuments to himself. His boats were adorned with nothing unnecessary.''
By 2007, Jack had circumnavigated the world twice. Around 1991 he fitted her with a new motor, 50bhp Perkins Prima diesel, 6-7 knots. In he2000 departed Sydney on circumnavigation of the world. 2005/06 reported Jack Christoffersen had participated in CYCA dinner at Sydney for persons who had circumnavigated the world.
In October 2007, the Catriona M was advertised for sale in Auckland

It's a big time for both my kids--soon my son will be leaving the nest for a college dorm, and my daughter is setting up housekeeping in her first "on her own" apartment. After 20 years, the kids will be out--if not on their own.
In recent years, they've had their differences--some traumatic. But back in small kid times, they were true allies, devoted comrades, pure helpmates. Here, Claire helps Jack (complete with chocolate moustache) get his fishing hook baited. While I did boatwork, they went fishing. Once, on the school bus, older boys bullied Jack for sitting in seats they considered theirs--Claire gave them a tongue-lashing, trash-talking session that left the bully in tears. The school principal called me, giving her a "disciplinary referral". When I heard the story, how she stood up for her brother, I gave her a $20 bill and told her 'good work.'
I raised my kids to honor the family--you might argue, quarrel, fight, hold grudges--but nobody on the outside abuses your brother, your sister. The family is sacred. In time of last resort, you can always count on your family, and you make sure they know that they can count on you. An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship. Safeguard the family, and your family will safeguard you.
RIPTIDE is 90 years old this year.
This year's work on RIPTIDE by the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op includes replacement of the aft three feet of her pilothouse and the forward two feet of her trunk cabin, the addition of six bronze portlights in her forecabin to replace those galvanized ones which were beyond repair, and several minor additions as well as the usual engine service. Shipwright Jeff Galey is leading this work.
She will be painted upon completion of this work by Diane Salguero of Salguero Marine Services.
RIPTIDE was built in 1927 by Frank E and William J Schertzer, owners of Schertzer Brothers Boat and Machine Company, which was then located at the north end of Lake Union near the foot of Stone Way in Seattle. Her original owners are as yet unknown.
She is a bridge deck cruiser, and is 47 feet 1-inch long with a beam of 11 feet 10-inches and a draft of four feet. She is planked in port orford cedar riveted to white oak frames over an apitong backbone with western red cedar houses. She displaces about 10 tons, relatively light for a boat this size.
A Coast Guard documented vessel, RIPTIDE carries documentation number 226242 carved into the interior face of both port and starboard bilge stringers.
RIPTIDE is powered by remanufactured Cummins B210 5.9 liter turbo-charged diesel of 210hp. While her top speed is over 14 knots at 2400 rpm, her cruising speed is a much more sedate 9 knots at 1500 rpm. She carries 300 gallons of diesel fuel.

The Scamp Red Lantern Rally was held at Mystery Bay State Park on Marrowstone Island WA, a half mile from the little waterside town of Nordland. Eleven Scamps participated in this first rally, the largest gathering to date.
This photo shows one of the fiberglass Gig Harbor Boatworks boats being launched at the beginning of the rally.
SCAMP stands for "Small Craft Advisor Magazine Project". The New Zealand designer John Welsford designed the boat for publisher Josh Colvin. www.jwboatdesigns.co.nz/index.html
SCAMP is an extremely popular small boat!
It is a sailing pram 11 feet 11 inches long, 5 feet 4 inches wide, with a sail of 100 square feet. It is ballasted by 174 pounds of water. The design is owned by the magazine Small Craft Advisor and is available as a plan you can build from scratch, from a kit, or as a finished boat from a builder of your choice. smallcraftadvisor.com/

She was overhauled by the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op in Port Townsend WA in 2015, completely recaulked by John Zimmer of Palouse Boatworks, and painted and varnished by Diane Salguero of Salguero Marine Services. 2017 work included replacing the aft portion of the pilothouse and adding six new portlights forward and repainting the boat, in addition to her annual painting. 2018 Work included replacing the forward portion of the pilothouse, overhauling the transom seat area, and adding a water system and head. Shipwrights Jeff Galey and Paul Stoffer have done the majority of work on the boat. Salguero Marine will paint RIPTIDE after she emerges from the shipyard in early July, 2018.
RIPTIDE's hailing port is Port Ludlow WA. She is usually moored in Port Madison, on Bainbridge Island, WA.

JESTER's beam is quite wide for her length and makes for a very stable ride on a dinghy of only 9 feet long! Jack Fesenmeyer's experience as a gondola builder paid off when he designed his sailing dinghy - Sea Lion and Sea Horse models; wide beam like a catboat, no centerboards and a modified cut-out keel with skeg all add up to a swift, stable sailing vessel.

RIPTIDE came up to Port Townsend for her new engine 25-hour maintenance check. Her propeller shaft was found to be out of alignment, and when it could not be corrected in the water, I had her hauled to pursue the problem.
RIPTIDE was built in 1927 by the Schertzer Brothers Boat and Machine Company, then located on the north end of Lake Union near the foot of Stone Way in Seattle. She is 47 feet 1-inch long with a beam of 11 feet 10-inches and a draft of four feet. She is planked in port orford cedar riveted to white oak frames over an apitong backbone with western red cedar houses. She displaces about 10 tons, relatively light for a boat this size.
She was originally named NERIAD, then, shortly thereafter, NOKARE. Her trunk cabin (the raised cabin aft of the pilothouse) was reportedly added (or extended) in 1933. By 1936, when owned by Russell G. Gibson, a Director of the Seattle Yacht club, she had been named RIPTIDE.
Mr Gibson owned her through at least 1962. After a few years, she was bought in 1965 by Richard Billings, who used her as a cruiser and live-aboard in Alaska. In 1968 Richard sold her to his brother Roger, who owned her through 2014. RIPTIDE is fortunate to have been owned by knowledgeable and caring owners throughout her long life.
RIPTIDE is a Coast Guard documented vessel. She carries documentation number 226242 carved into the interior face of both port and starboard bilge stringers. She is documented at 17 net tons and 21 gross tons.
Her original engine may have been a Hall-Scott gasoline engine, but is as yet unknown. By 1959 she had an eight cylinder Chrysler Crown gas engine, a common engine of the time, most likely added in the late 1940's. That engine was removed in 1967 when RIPTIDE was re-powered by a 1967 Volvo MD-70A diesel engine. The Volvo engine was removed in early June 2015 and was replaced by Cummins 5.9 liter diesel of 210hp. While her top speed is over 14 knots at 2400 rpm, her cruising speed is a much more sedate 9 knots at 1500 rpm. She carries 300 gallons of diesel fuel.
She was overhauled by the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op in Port Townsend WA between April 8th and September 16th, 2015. The Co-Op replaced 35 frames, then replanked much of her hull above the waterline. They installed a new transom and decks, replaced her engine and exhaust system, and installed a modern electrical system. Finally, a new anchor windlass and chain was installed.
The outside steering station was removed in December, 2015 when the water tank and aft deck were removed to correct a persistent leak through the strut bearing bolts.
RIPTIDE was caulked by John Zimmer of Palouse Boatworks.
Diane Salguero of Salguero Marine Services varnished the transom and pilothouse windows and painted the vessel.
RIPTIDE's hailing port is Port Ludlow WA. She is usually moored in Port Madison, on Bainbridge Island, WA.

Captain John Baptiste Ford (November 17, 1811–May 1, 1903) was an American industrialist and founder of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, now known as PPG Industries, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.
Born in a log cabin in Danville, Kentucky, he never remembered his father, Jonathan Ford, who in 1813 joined the Kentucky Volunteer Homespun regiment to fight the British forces at New Orleans in the War of 1812 and never returned. His mother, Margaret, the daughter of Jean Baptiste, an immigrant from France who had fought in the American Revolutionary War, apprenticed young John at the age of 12 to a Danville saddlemaker. He ran away from the saddlemaker at age 14 and found his freedom in Greenville, Indiana, where he remained for the next 30 years. There in 1831 he married Mary Bower, a farm girl who taught him to read and write.
The couple opened a small dry goods store, then a saddlery shop and a flour mill. The Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 presented a golden opportunity to Ford, who won a large contract to supply the United States Cavalry. His success, and his vision of the importance of the Ohio River in opening up the vast country west of the Mississippi River, drove Ford to build a boatworks at New Albany, Indiana. Its success earned him the appellation of "Captain" Ford.
Next he entered the iron business. The American Civil War provided him the next business windfall as he supplied the Union forces. Ford's son Emory graduated in June 1864 from Duff's Mercantile College upriver in Pittsburgh. Emory marveled at the many glass works in the city, and soon his father opened a glass firm back in New Albany. They expanded, eventually, into plate glass operations, something that had been largely a European endeavor. In the 1883 Ford and sons organized a new company in the nation's booming industrial center, Pittsburgh, which became the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company.
By 1897 the Fords, tired of disagreements with their business partners, sold their shares in PPG and formed a new venture to the west near Toledo, Ohio, the Ford Glass Company. It later became Libbey Owens Ford Glass Company. At one time he was in business with his first cousin, Washington Charles De Pauw.
John Ford died at his home in Tarentum, Pennsylvania in 1903. He is buried in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh. The town of Ford City, Pennsylvania is named in his honor.
Perry rowing (near the Albany boatworks (?), where Elliott worked as a naval architect).
Elliott built this boat for Perry, so he could enjoy it during summer visits to his Dad.
