SMALL CRAFT WHOLE CALE HURRICANE

"Work without prayer islike work with dull tools."

By Betty Roberts

In years past we have published a great deal about the first builders ofFriendship Sloops. Just before and just after the turn of the century the airalong the shores of Muscongus Bay was filled with the sound of poundinghammers as the local men built the Friendship Sloops. During one winter therewere 22 sloops abuilding on the shore of Bremen Long Island alone. GeorgeWashington Carter, Rob McLain, Eugene McLain, Abdon Carter, GeorgeCarter and many others. Those times are recalled as the "good ole days.''

Now along a hundred years later, we are having "good days" (no "ole" aboutthem), and one of those "good days" was recently spent talking to Winnie Lash,grandson of George Carter of Bremen Sloop building fame and owner of LashBrothers Boatyard in Friendship.

You can see why Winnie comes rightfully by his ability to build boats, andwhy he has a natural love and feel for boats (the Friendship Sloop in particular)flowing through his veins. Winnie Lash was born in Friendship, Maine and afterschooling he went to work at the old Camden Shipyard. He worked there manyyears in the mold loft and as helper to the head draftsman.

In 1947 he left Camden and came to Friendship to run his own shop with hisbrothers. All sevven brothers have worked with him at some time or other, andat present he has two brothers and a son in the shop along with other helpers.

During the last 33 years Lash Brothers Boatyard has built about 100 boatswhich number includes six Friendship Sloops, the rest being yachts, lobsterboats, tow boats, and just everything. The first Friendship Sloop was Mary Annbuilt in 1958 and now owned by Dr. Joseph Griffin. Then in 1963 came Down-easter owned by Virginia Grew. 1964 saw Mr. Ernest Sprowl's Dirigo appear onthe water, and 1965 brought three more - Bernard MacKenzie's Voyager, her

"Our little boat has been bothreliable and a joy," says Geof Heathabout his Friendship Sloop,Departure in "The Small BoatJournal." Geof sailed his "pocketyacht" 1600 miles to the FriendshipSloop Races and came away with theGladiator's Trophy.

We share Geof's enthusiasm (andyours) for small craft, and in "TheSmall Boat Journal" we .focus onbuilding techniques, designtraditions and innovations, repairand maintenance, crusing, trends,gear, and fun -- from a small boatpoint of view.

The fact there has been no new wooden Friendship Sloops from the LashBrothers Boatyard is probably due to the fast pace of life making wood main-tenance hard, and the encroachment of the fiberglass world. The Lashes onlybuild wooden boats.

Don't think for one minute that Winnie Lash is sitting around twiddling histhumbs. He has been building all kinds of boats, but especialy draggers of whichthe present one is the largest. What a boat she is! She is so large that a tem-porary addition was put onto the boat shed to cover her, and new ways wereneeded to stand her weight. Winnie and his crew can well be proud of their workon the Walter Alden Leeman, Sr. She is a 71 foot dragger constructed of darkred plantain mahogany from the Phillipines, and at launching time sheweighted 73 ton. Now comes the hardest part, Winnie says, and that is riggingher. Ready for sea she will weigh 125 to 130 tons. Just for fun, Winnie comparedhis latest boat to the last boat Wilbur Morse built:

$500,000 plus

"You got to catch a lot of fish to make up that difference."

Winnie Lash is a quiet unassuming man that knows his boats and business. Hecan draw a water line on a hull in the shop, and when she is in the water the linewill be right at the water's edge. He has a great collection of old engines, and ifhis wife Barbara can't find him she usually knows he is out tinkering with a"onelunger" or some other engine. It is a special treat to see the twinkle inWinnie's eyes when he is operating his old corn grinder. If you were at the lastNew York World's Fair and happened to be at the Marina section on Maine Dayyou saw not only the rededication of the Lash built Friendship Sloop Dirigo, butanother unforgetable sight. There mid all the expensive gold trimmed yachtswas a Friendship Dory with a man standing in the boat rowing like a Down-easter, and speeding along with coattails aflying. Of course it was Winnie Lash!

Perhaps Winnie Lash can best be understood by the sign which for years hungjust inside the door of his shop, "Work without prayer is like work with dulltools."

So the heritage of Wooden Boat building goes on and George Carter ofBremen has another good boat builder coming along is his great grandson,Wesley Lash. No fiberglass boat can have the beauty and grace and personaitiyof a wooden boat - so, Winnie, keep those wooden boats coming.

This sign meansSTEER CLEARIf you work or play on the lakes and water-ways of Maine, this sign could save your life.Central Maine Power has hung hundreds ofthese international orange markers on water-spanning power lines throughout our serv-ice area.Why? Because the taller wood and metalmasts used on newer crafthave created the potentialhazard of contact with over-head powerlines. This signacts as a safety warning tothe boating public to STEERCLEAR. And since many summer campslocated by lakes and ponds have an activesailing and boating program, the youngpeople using these facilitiesshould be taught towatch for this warningtoo.

You can get a free safety sticker to attachto your boat mast as a reminder to steerclear just by contacting any CMP office andasking for it. You may also pick one up atmany marinas. And if you're a camp owneror counselor, the stickers are available forcamp use in the quantity you need.

Electric power is a great andhelpful servant, but it must

be treated with respect.Everyone must work to make

If you've ever

wondered where the

Friendship Sloop Society's

scholarship dollars go...

To the Sloop Society members :

As I am graduating in May, I felt that I should write andthank you for the scholarships you have so thoughtfully givenme.

My four years here at Farmington have at times beentedious, but for the most part, a great learning and growingexperience, both professionally and personally. None of thiscould have happened without your help and support.

I often wonder what it would be like if I had not been able topursue my teaching career. I love my profession intensly. Ihope that because of your kind generosity, you will be able tosend other Friendship high school students to college.

Please let me know if there is any way in which I can help thissummer and in the coming years to raise funds to send studentsto school.

Again, thank you.

Sincerely yours,JeanL.Bragan,

"There is nothing - absolutely nothing -half so much worth doing as simplymessing about in boats... or with boats... Inoroutof ' em, it doesn't matter!"

—Kenneth Graham'sWind in the Willows

"White Eagle"

will soar again...by John R. deSousa

"That's the White Eagle, isn't it? There was an excitement in her voice, thequestion, really an exclamation, exploded as she rushed down the drive be-tween Friendship Market and Friendship House. Sure enough, in front ofCarlton Simmons' old boat shop, at the end of the driveway lay an ancientFriendship sloop cradled, but resting proudly. Others had seen her, looked herover, commented about fifty-fifty like, "What a wreck", "Isn't she handsome","Gonna burn her?", "Aren't you lucky - gonna rebuild her? "

There was a spill over from the original recognition. Love lit up her eyes andthe continued excitement blurted out, "My daddy owned her for years -1 did alot of growing up on that boat. Sometimes I thought he loved her more than me.Each evening after work at the boatyard we would board her together, fuss overher, tending to her gear. Weekends were for sailing, week nights were forcaring." I know exactly how she felt - at least about the caring. Right now theremay be more rot than stout wood, but one day...

Before the future plans, a little history: like most Friendships it is "piecey",some garnered here, some there, but always with the hope of someday getting itall together. Probably her greatest fame came because she was owned by thewell known author of the comic strip "Archie", Bob Montana. He bought herfrom John Blakemore in 1955, the father of the excited lady from Warren,Maine, Jane Robbins. According to Mrs. Robbins her father purchased the boatin 1947 from an old Norwegian sea captain, Arne Anderson, who was then nightwatchman of the Sample Shipyard in Boothbay Harbor, the same yard thatemployed Mr. Blakemore.

Mr. Montana trucked her from Boothbay Harbor to Lake Winnipesaukee inNew Hampshire. After the fresh water took its toll, he trucked her back again toFriendship in m9.. 2 to have the Lash Brothers Boatyard rebuild her. She racedthat year placing second in Class A on Friday (see "It's A Friendship", FirstEdition, p. 38). The days of maturity caught up with Montana, the boat was soldafter better than two decades of ownership. She was sold again, then again, butthis time sadly repossessed and lay neglected in a New Hampshire yard untilChuck Stein of Nashua found her, bought her, started to reclaim her old beautyand strength. Chuck had had bad luck having her rebuilt in New Hampshire, sohe took her to a Wells, Maine, yard where he was advised to burn her - so headvertised, and...

The ad appeared at the time we were staying at Elmer Jameson's onJameson Point, the week on Sloop Days, 1978. Mr. Stein and I made a Yankeeswap deal, and last June Midcoast Marine hauled her from Wells on the mostfascinating trailer ever. Bob Sylvia unloaded that boat single-handed!

THE BIGGEST TRUCK EVENT IN OUR HISTORY

Carlton Simmons' old boat shop was shorn up. Ray Janes and I built a stoutlongleaf yellow pine cradle and winched the old girl in as snug as you please -except for about ten inches of her billet. So, like the Biblical prodigal, WhiteEagle has returend from sinful fresh water, to the place of her birth to bereborn. Hopefully, rebuilding will begin this summer. White Eagle will becompletely replanked in cedar, her old style shelf replaced, redecked, andfinished off in true Friendship style - plain and stout. And then...

That can best be told by what caused Betty Roberts to snicker, well, sheoutright laughed. I had been pestering her for a berth race days. She did notknow me, or that I had rebult and sailed a Harvey Gamage 1928 schooner foryears under a New Bedford Yacht Club burgee. One race was the best thatcould be mananged. Ater thanking Betty, I remarked "We have enjoyedFriendship, Sloop Days, and all the folks so much we have decided to buy aplace here, get a Morse sloop, join the Society, and 'win the race' ". Wouldn'tyou laugh, too? Before the week was out, White Eagle was mine. Before thesummer was done, we had bought the old Post Office (now Friendship House),joined the Sloop Society, and I am planning a handsome transom!

Come on down the drive by Friendship House, swap a few tall ones, (tales thatis), and dream a little with me. You are welcome.

Editor's Note: John R. deSousa is a retired Minister of the United Church ofChrist, one time serving as Assistant to the President of Bangor TheologicalSeminary. An avid boatman, he now restores antique and classical boats. ThedeSousas divide their time between Friendship and Deltona, Flordia.

Intensive Care?If your taste in hand and skin creams is tweeked by sen-

timent, you should know those Vaseline Intensive Care tele-vision commercials were filmed in Friendship Harbor lastyear, with a happy cast of many, many Friendship folks,gathered together by casting director pro tern Betty Roberts.Can't think of a better way to plug a better product than to tellthe world about it from our shore.
