The new lookOFFSHORE

or the past 16 years, OFFSHORE has been theofficial in-house magazine of Australia's premier

ocean racing club, the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia,with circulation restricted to its members and to thelibraries of other major yacht clubs. From August I,OFFSHORE will become Australia's first nationalocean racing and cruising magazine, sold on bookstallsthroughout the country and available to all yachtsmenand yachtswomen.

OFFSHORE, always regarded as the best yacht clubmagazine in Australia, will continue to he the officialmagazine of the CYCA and will be sent to all membersas it is published each quarter.

OFFSHORE will be a new-look magazine, full ofnews and highly informative articles on all aspects ofracing and cruising offshore in Australia and around theworld. Some of the world's best yachting journalists willbe writing for OFFSHORE - Bob Fisher's firstcolourful and controversial column appears in this Issue.An equalling provocative columnist is John Brooks, aPast Commodore of the CYCA, International navigatorand sometimes Qantas captain, whose "Biggles" columnhas become over the years one of the most readablesections of OFFSHORE.

A special feature wry be devoted to the cruisingyachtsman, with articles on where and how to cruise inAustralian waters and overseas. The new OFFSHOREwon't restrict its coverage to the type of offshore racingorganised by the CYCA. We'll look at all aspects ofpopular big boat yachting around the world,

Naturally, as the official magazine of the CruisingYacht Club of Australia, and published under itsimprimatur, OFFSHORE will continue to reflect theviews of Australia's most respected ocean racing club, toreport on all aspects of the club's major activities and itsplans for the development of ocean racing from 1987 andbeyond.

Under a new agreement with the CYCA,OFFSHORE will be published on its behalf by well-known yachtsman and publisher Max Press with prom-inent yachting journalist, Peter Campbell as editor.OFFSHORE will be published quarterly, and in addi-tion we will publish the prestigious programme for theannual AWA Sydney-Hobart Blue Water Classic,

The first changes to OFFSHORE will be apparent inthis issue. August will be a bigger and better magazine.We hope you like your new look OFFSHORE.

AWA SydneyHobarl Race fleet turns Southat rerker buoy at Heads.

are enthusiastically reorganising thisaspect for next year.

Basically, there were too few ofthe white spherical spectator buoyswhich were used to mark the limits

beyond which the spectators werenot permitted. The buoys them-selves were good, but because theywere so far apart the course bound-anes were difficult, it not impossi-ble, to perceive. The Maritime Ser-vices Board has undertaken to use 50of these buoys next year, whereasthey only had 24 on the course thisyear. This will enable us to dispensewith the use of red in flatables to

supplement their buoys, as we didthis year, and thus remove the con-fusion of some red buoys being usedfor spectator control, and some ascompetitor's rounding marks.

This mixture of buoys caused notonly problems with spectators butlead to the unfortunate situation of a

sizeable group of the rear-line "hot-shots" misreading thebeyond the Heads. A close inter-rogation of one of these competitorsconfirmed what some officials had

After rounding the tug, asizeable group of these yachts fol-lowed their leader to the North and

rounded the last spectator controlbuoy off North Head, This tookthem on a very tight course forabout 500 yards instead of reachingoff for the sea-mark, and explainstheir complaint that "we seemed tocome out of the rounding at theHeads badly".

On showing the victim the dia-gram and the text which detailed thissection of the course, it was freelyagreed that there was absolutely noreason for them doing what theydid. However, had the buoy inquestion been a white one (as it willbe next year) instead of a red innat-able as used this year, then therewould have been no chance of con-fusion

Summarising, we have shown thata two-line start is a practicable solu-tion to the overcrowding of previous

seen.

course

years, and it now only requires somefine tuning to eliminate the bugs ofspectator control which weredent this year.

LEAD, "G Co"TE"DERS

BRITAIN:At the last count 12 boats were

entered for the British trials whichcommence in June. Six of these arenew boats and all are in the latterstages of construction. First to startbuilding was Mike Peacock's OneTonner IUNO, designed by RobHumphreys. This boat incorporatesa novel building method which dis-penses with a hull to deck joint. Thisus made possible by laying up thetwo components together on onemould. Once the structure is coin-

PIete the mould is dismantled andthrough thepassed out main

hatchway.Andrew Hurst will be skippering

the boat and first sailing trials willtake place in Palma where the Ger-mans are happy to let the Britishboat tune up with them.

On the Isle of Wight, KilleanBushe is building A1an Gray's newFarr designed One Tonner which isto be sailed by Rodney Pattisson andLawne Smith. This boat is a de-

velopment of the successful HIGH-LAND FLING which finished

second in the 1985 One Ton Cup.She is very much of hi-tech con-struction using sophisticated mate-rials. The majority of the sails willbe supplied by Sobstad Sailmakerswhile Spareraft us supplying themast.

Graham Walker is having anAndrieu-designed 44ft boat built bythe B8cB Boatyard in France, She isthe only boat being built to rate at34.5ft and as the team "bigboat" shemay have only Ernest Iuer's boatagainst which to fight for a teamplace

Saatchi and Saatchi advertisingman, Dick Hedger, is chartering aOne Tonner from the same drawingboard as Walker. This boat is beingbuilt by Jeanneau and is a develop-merit of Andrieu's successful CIF-RALINE/INDULGENCE theme

The two boats will be using theresources of the British America'sCup team, with WHITE CRUSAD-

ER I and 2's crew being spreadbetween them both.

Scratch boat in the trials will be

Ernest Iuer's 50-footer which BillGreen is building in Lymington. Shehas been designed by Rob Hum-phreys and is the first of a new breedof boat of this size. With a fractional

rig, low freeboards and a One Ton-based deck layout, the design hasnot been compromised. Iuer himselfwill be helming this exciting designthat incorporates twin wheels 10-cated in a separate cockpit for theafterguard.

Barry Polley is putting together anew Beneteau First Class 12 with the

assistance of Terry Parker, son ofOwen. This boat was designed byGroup Finot with a very light dis-placement, and incorporates a bu!-bous keel on a well proportionedhull. She will excel down wind in abreeze and should be well suited to

reaching, of which there is oftenplenty on the Channel and Fastnet

Stuart Quarrie, of the National Sail-ing Centre, is the nominated BritishTeam Manager, and he will be co-ordinating training and trials bothon and off the water. A Team Coach

is Bill EdgertonDENMARK:

Over the past six years Denmarkhas slowly been Increasing its stand-ing in the world sailing circuit. Lastyear the Danish Ieppesen-designedX-One Tonner, ANDELSTANK-EN won the One Ton Cup inPalma, and the year before a nearsister, EURO, was third individualboat at the Champagne MummAdmiral's Cup

o,..,

This year, the Danes have securedteam sponsorship and are fieldingsome very competitive boats, oncemore all from the drawing board ofNiels Ieppesen. First on the waterwas KRONE, the new prototypeX-2 Tonner, which rates at 34.5ftShe has a full inventory of Diamondsaris and a super-lightweight fourspreader Sparcraft mast. Rigging isby Riggama of Sweden. KRONEwas sailing right up until Christmas,and come the Spring, the boatshould be truly tried and tested forthe coming season. There also is anew ANDELSTANKEN X-OneTonner which includes some refine-

merits from the previous boat.FRANCE:

With the creation of the "OpenDivision" class for sponsored boats,the French have gone Admiral's Cupcrazy. Team sponsorship has beensecured from a prominent French

and the teamIndustrial companywill be coming to England fullyprepared for the event.

First to secure individual spon-sorship was Philippe Briand with hisown designed 44-footer built byBeneteau. Corum, which puts upthe prize for the second inshore raceof the Champagne Mumm Admir-al's Cup, is backing the project thusIncreasing the company's Admiral'sCup involvement. Briand himselfwill be sailing the boat along withmany of the sailors who helped himtake PASSION to at thevictory1984 One Ton Cup.

The rest of the trialists are One

Tonners including three Beneteau >

pagne Mumm Admiral's Cup, isbeing sailed by M. Dick while Bru-no Trouble will be sailing his ever-green COYOTEGERMANY:

There are three new boats beingbuilt in Germany, all to the designsof German Dutch duo, Iudel/Vro-ink. Of the three new boats, CON-TAINER and OUTSIDER are both

One Tonners while the other is yetanother RUBIN for Hans-Otto

Schiimann rating 34.5ft. All threeboats are primarily built at theSchutz Verke yard and then finishedoff at the Yachtwerf Wedel

boatyard.Willi 111bruck will be giving the

three new boats a run for their

money with his PINTA which lastyear had a new hull fitted to theexisting deck. To up rate the boatfrom the existing 33.3ft to allow herto be the big boat in a One Ton-based team, she will have a bigger rigadded. However, with a relativelyshort waterline length it may bedifficult for the boat to be coinpeti-tive rating at 34.5ft,

German training for this year'sevent will take place in Palma, Mal-10rca. in the comfortable climate,they will sail against the Spanish,until their trials begin in Germany inMay.HOLLAND:

Peter de Ridder, the previousowner of the Iudel/Vrolikj designed

MACHINE, whichMEANfinished fifth at the 1986 One Ton

Cup in Palma, Manorca, is currentlyhaving a Farr One Tonner built atNeville Hutton's boatyard inLymington. Like all the new crop ofFarr designs currently under con-struction, she is a development ofSIRIUS IV, which was reputed to bethe quickest boat at Palma last year.IRELAND:

James on Whisky is chartering

Bob Butkus' new development ofFULL PELT. After the regatta heintends to take the Dubois designedone tonner to the One Top Cup inKiel, David Howlett, of Jade fame,will be on board throughout thetrials and Admiral's Cup itself,working the boat up in his usualthorough style. Irish man RobertDix will be the principal helmsman.Butkus, an American, used to ownPeter de Sayary's VICTORY OFBURNHAM which representedBritain at the 1981 Admiral's Cup.NORWAY:

Norway will be fielding a strongteam this Crown Princeyear.Harold is building yet another newFarr One Tonner which must make

this New Zealand born yacht desig-ner themost popular. Admiral's Cupdesigner to date. This boat will belaunched by June and will have aSparcraft mast with some hi-techrigging from Riggarna. CrownPrince Harold's old X-One Tonner,FRAM 9, is now called KJAPP-FOT. These two boats will be joinedby the Andrieu designed One Ton-ner HAGAR which competed at the'86 One Ton Worlds in Palma,Manorca.UNITED STATES :

Reichel Pugh has designed a new44-footer for Randy Short. Short'steam includes David HUIse who is

looking after a four spreader Spar-craft mast, and ex-Laser worldchampion and America H tacticianJohn Bertrand, who will be at thehelm. This boat was put in the waterfor the start of the SoRC at the

beginning of March.The 1987 USA Admiral's Cup

team will be selected on June 6,following the completion of BrentonReef series in Newport, Rhode Is-land. All yachts rating between 30.0and 40. Oft have been invited to sail

in the series although the team willbe selected from yachts rating 30.0to 31.0ft and 33.0 to 36.0ft. These

size stipulations should resolve thewhich thecompromise situation

Americans suffered from in their last

trials when they stated that theirteam would be selected on a pointsbasis and all the top-scoring hianstwere near the top of their statedrating band of 34ft. This put theteam at a disadvantage against teamsthat had selected smaller boatswhich tend to fare better in Admir~

al's Cup-type competitions. D

pensive boats, there might be anincrease in the number of boats

racing under the 10RBut while the ORC investigates

ways of improving the lot of theowner of a conventionalIy built grpcurlser/racer, there are owners whohave examined other rating methodsand adopted a new style of racingand are having every bit as much funas their compatriots who continue torace under 10R. Fastest growing ofthem all is the Anglo-French Chan-nel Handicap System (CHS) whosestrength (and weakness) is that isdoes not Involve a measurer. Takingthe measurements himself, the own-er is pressed Into an honesty that ismetered by his culpability should hebe later found to have been cheating.Sometimes however, through noreal fault of the the dataowner,

transmitted to the Racing Office canbe in doubt. The anomalies are often

discovered by the computer butsome can go undetected and it isthese which make CHS slightly jin-perfect.

The greatest strength of CHS isthat the calculations which are madefrom the measurements which theowner has taken are secret. No one,except those who work in the RatingOffice, has any idea of the way inwhich the TCF is calculated fromthem and this means that boats are

not being designed to take advantageof the rule. So long as that state ofaffairs remains, CHS will continueto flourish. And flourish it certainlyhas. Since its introduction, in 1984,its popularity has grown until, in1986, threre were 1,272 certificatesissued and this year that number Isexpected to increase to over 2,000In 1986 there were just eight more10R certificates issued in Britain

than in the previous year and thetotal was slightly under a thousandBy the end of this year, therefore,there will be twice as many boatsable to race in CHS events as thereare in 10R races

One of the other benefits of the

CHS is that it is inexpensive. Theissue of a new certificate costs 225

and the revalidation, each year, is5:20. A new 10R certificate for aboat of 40 ft overall is over 5:500.

Perhaps this is why so many of thosepeople with older 10R boats havedecided to measure for CHS

Even the relatively low cost of theCHS certification has not developed

requiring some subjectivity, like thehull type factor, are reviewed in thelight of performance. it is not,however a performance relatedmethod of rating and even if theRating Office doesn't disclose themethod of calculating the TCF, it ispatently obvious that it is based onthe speed producing factors of theboat; length, beam, weight, draftand sail area are the main ones with

keel and rudder type, keel materialand rig being secondary.

Penalties are Imposed for exoticsail cloth, oversize spinnaker poles,oversize down wind sails, full lengthbattens and, as of this year, theabsence of guardrails. in additionthe CHS certificate has an SSS (Sta-billty and Safety Screening) factorfor the yacht. The number is derivedfrom certain basic design features ofthe hull and can be increased byImproving certain safety equipmentstandards as well as some designfeatures, like self-draining cockpitsand the lack of openings into theboat. Race committees can thenchose an SSS limit for their races in

unsuitable craftorder to preventthe I 24, forfrom entering

instance, does not get a sufficientlyhigh SSS number to race offshore

Slowly the spread of CHS racingIs permeating on a truly Internation-al basis. There are close to 200

certificates issued in Hong Kong,where telefax to the Rating Office inEngland produces a faster servicethan the locals in Lymington can getby post! The Ocean Racing Club ofVictoria are deeply involved in en-quiries and there are questions aboutthe system from New Zealand,Thailand (the King is particularlyinterested), Japan and Brazil nowreceiving attention

The system is not perfect, but asvalue for money and for a way ofencouraging owners of older boatsto go racing again, it has no equal

it also makes one wonder how

those local handicap systems, run byenthusiastic and dedicated volun-

teers, are still operated, but nomatter how good any handicappingsystem Is, it will always have itscritics and those who think they canprovide a better one, it is thanks tothe likes of at least one of them that

the CHS system was evolved anddoubtless there will be another when

the life of this system is found tohave run its course. .

SILVER MINX, heading for Hohart

total honesty. There are people whowill look up the TCF awarded to asimilar boat and give that figure, to arace committee, as their CHS hand-icap and, likewise, race committeeshave done the same for some boats.This is in direct contravention ofIYRU Rule 19.1 which states, 'Ev-ery yacht entering a race shall holdsuch valid measurement or ratingcertificate as required by the nation-al authority or other duly authorisedbody, by her class rules, by thenotice of race or regatta, or by thesailing instructions. '

CHS is constantly under surveill-ance at the Rating Office and ano-in alies are corrected and matters

HANDICAPPINGSIons :

The CYCA should keep workingon 10R MklllAA, but use the11nngworth System (with age allo-warice) until IMS can be adopted.. Create more divisions for closer

racing. Place greater emphasis onDivisional placings. Results can bepublished in Divisions.. An Arbitrary handicapping sys-tern needed to rate boats, not crew.. The IMS system of measuring andrating offshore racing yachts to beadopted in the future. (But thiscould be two years away)

Action:

CYCA Board to appoint a team toinvestigate an Improvement to theArbitrary handicapping system.. Sailing Committee to create moredivisions for closer and toracingadopt divisional results, includingthe AWA Sydney-Hobart YachtRace .

Sponsored by the Japanese syndi-cate which has bought A1an Bond'stwo 12 metres, the SIoop had aboardJapanese yachtsmen Kenichi Honeand Susumu Korose.

The big drama began in the earlyhours of April I when Castaway Fijiwas some 600 nautical miles east of

Townsville, well on its way to OSa-ka and in second position behindNakiri Daio. The Laurie Davidson

designed 16m SIoop had been builtin New Zealand in only 12 weeksusing the lightest possible exoticmaterials for the hull. it was sailed

across the Tasman, reaching Me I-bourne only three days before thescheduled start. On the eve of the

race, the crew were still working onthe yacht. it was not slipped beforethe start and apparently no underwater check was made of the hull.

The fact that one man survived is

due to the provision of an Argosbeacon which had been placed onboard all competitors yachts and thisnot only automatically provided theyacht's position several times daily,but also had an easy-co- activatealarm button should be a distress orMay Day situation arise; in fact twoother yachts accidently triggeredtheir Argos'.

The alarm was activitated about

an hour after the yacht capsized,when Taylor managed to climbaboard the foundering SIoop andthrow the Beacon in the direction of

Akhurst who was being swept awayin the darkness. The signal waspicked up by the next passing satel-lite about two hours later and within

20 minutes of it being processed bythe Argos computer in France, SeaSafety in Canberra had been alerted.When Castaway Fiji failed to reportat the morning radio "sked", SeaSafety called a marine alert whichincluded an aircraft on a scheduled

flight across the Pacific being di-verted to the area. This aircraft thenpicked up the signal from the EPIRBwhich Taylor had also activated anda May Day situation was declared byCanberra.

The first aircraft to reach the scenewas a French Navy Guardian survel-nance jet from Noumea which sight-ed the half-submerged yacht and

Later that afternoon an RAAF

> course taking between 40 and 60days to complete, taking the fleetthrough three seasons as they sailnorthwards.

To A1bie Burgin, one of AUStra-Iia's greatest old salts, the distance,the time at sea, the two-handedcrew, and certainly not his age, willmake no difference.

The retired builder from Belmont

on Lake Macquarie, NSW, is out towin this race, adding to an 111ust-rious career of ocean racing in thePacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea.

Sailing with him is 28-year-oldGreg Cowan, a professional deepseadiver also from Belmont who has

already partnered the 71-year-oldgrandfather in two major short-handed ocean racing successes.

What are their race tactics for this

unique race up the Australian EastCoast, past Papua New Guinea, theSolomons, the Phillipines, Okinawaand finally to Osaka passingthrough three seasons and a varietyof weather changes? "To get toJapan as quickly as we can, " A1bietold me, adding that he aimed tobreak 40 days, which means averag-ing about 138 nautical miles a day.

A1bie has already gone down inthe record books in this fleet of

international yachtsmen and womenfrom nine nations, including entriesfrom Australia, Japan, New Zea-land, the USA, France, Britain,Canada, West Germany and De-rimark

At 71 he is the oldest competitorand has logged more sea miles inracing and cruising than other yach-tsman in the fleet - more than275,000 nautical miles in the past 35years' He has cruised to Hawaii,Papua, New Guinea, the Solomons,many times to New Zealand, andhas won just about every major raceon the Australian East Coast intothe South-west Pacific.

He won the 1961 Sydney-Hobartwith Rival, the Sydney to Suva, Fiji,with Boomerang of Belmont, and

was navigator aboard the remarkableSIoop Gold Coast Express when sheswept unbeaten through the ClipperCup fleet in Hawaii.

It was with Rival that A1bie Bur-

gin experienced - and survived -one of the most amazing experiencesin Australian offshore racing. Rivalwas caught in 150 knot winds andhuge seas at the centre of CycloneEmily off the Queensland coastmidway through the 1971 Brisbaneto Gladstone ocean race.

As skipper Burgin tried to steerthe 35-footer away from the danger-ous lee shore, the wind and seasworsened, with massive wavescrashing down on the boat andunder storm jib only she clawedherself away from the coast.

"I was the only one on deck,lashed by a line to a wooden cleat,the cabin hatch battened down, thecockpit full of water, with Rivalawash from stem to stern, " theveteran yachtsman recalled "Wewere coping until this enormouswave hit us, rolling Rival completelyupside down and screwing out themast.

"The wooden cleat to which I was

ing Rival into Gladstone under juryrig.

Those successes, and dramas,were all with fully crewed racingyachts and it has been only in thepast few years that he turned hisattention to short-handed ocean rac-

ing. "I'd certainly done manycruises with a minimal crew, and theconcept of short-handed racingoffered a new challenge, " A1bie ex-plained.

So during the winter of 1985 A1bieBurgin supervised the building ofAIStar, designed by Joe Adams andmodified by Burgin for his newprogramme of short handed oceanracing. Since launching the 16maluminium cutter, Burgin has wonhis three major short-handed longocean races - the two-handed Syd-ney-Coffs Harbour (NSW) race inrecord time, the two-handed Trans-Tasman race from Sydney to NewPlymouth, and then, on his own,the singlehanded Trans-Tasmanfrom New Plymouth to Mooloola-ba, Queensland.

"I don't enjoy solo sailing, but Icertainly get a kick out of two-handed ocean racing, " said A1bie, afreckled, ginger-haired man whocertainly belies his age. "The race toOsaka will be a great challenge butGreg and I are confident that we willdo well. We have a fast boat, idealyrigged for two-handed sailing, aboat that we know can stand up togaleforce conditions. " Why take onsuch a voyage at his age? "My wifeand daughters weren't too keen, butI enjoy short-handed ocean racing, "he answered "And after all, I'venever been to Japan - so why notsail there and win a race in doingso.

And after the race to Japan andthe cruise back to Australia for A1bie

Burgin, who in September will turn72? "My next project will be to sailAIStar in the 1988 Bicentennial two-handed race around Australia, " hesaid .

roped ripped away as I went downwith the boat, which was fortunate.I was under the boat and I knew if I

tried to come straight up I could getentangled with the rigging anddrown, so I kicked myself clear, butwhen I tried to reach the surface I

realised I was waterlogged."Still under water I had to undo

all the zips and bows of my wetweather gear and finally surfacedafter about two minutes. it was

some experience I wouldn't want torepeat.

When A1bie did finally surface hewas more than 30ft away fromRival, which had righted herself, themast and rigging a tangled mass onthe deck, with other crew membersemerging from below to survey thedamage. A1bie swam to the yacht,was hauled aboard, eventually sail-

OSLO. - Giant whirlpools, some almostI00 kilometres wide, have been detectedmoving along Norway's coast at speeds ofup to four knots, posing serious threats tomanners, especially in the offshore oil in-dustry

Unlike the more dramatic maelstrom offNorway's Lofoten Islands, which in JulesVerne's fiction assumed grossly exagger-ated destructive powers, these giant whirl-pools have no obvious centre and are farmore difficult to spot

A member of the Nomegian Hyd-rotechnical Laboratory team, Professor Tho-mas MCClimans, said the whirlpools, knownto scientists as anticyclonic eddies, gatheredenormous momentum. moving like rivers ina clockwise direction.

' 'We first documented the phenomenon in1980 when doing environmental studies foroil companies operating on the Troll gas fieldoff Norway's west coast. " he said.

The whirlpools are caused by huge surgesof fresh water flowing from northern

Norweg. ancoast

Europe's rivers into the Baltic, through theSkagerrak between southern Norway and tipof Denmark and into the North Sea. Prof

MCClimans said the water moves in large,barely detectable swells, capable of capsiz-ing ships when, under rare conditions, itcollides with undercurrents rising from theseabed, forming extremely steep, freakwaves

Two years ago. for instance, a Nomegianfishing boat snagged its net on the wreck ofa British plane shot down over the North Seaduring World War Two. Although the boatwas stationary, water rushing past its hullgave its bewildered crew the impression itwas being dragged backwards, presumablyby a submarine. The boat radioed the coastguard for help, which in turn raised a military

whirlpool.Whirls, as Prof MCClimans calls them, can

also cause costly and dangerous delays insensitive maritime operations as Norwaymoves into increasingly deep and hostilewaters to develop new oil fields

The special needs of the offshore industrymake whirl prediction imperative, he said.He has been developing techniques to do sowith the University of Be roen and theMeteorological Institute in Oslo

Prof MCCliman's research team has man-

aged to reproduce whirls in the laboratoryusing a unique, five-metre wide model of theNorth Sea basin which revolves slowly tosimulate the earth's rotation. This paved theway for a pilot whirl warning system Iaun-ched two years ago. On February 17, 1984,the institute of Marine research in Bergenwarned a whirl would soon hit the Troll gasfield. Two days later a whirl surged throughthe area.

Whirls can now be predicted up to twooalert before it was realised the boat was in a weeks away.

SAOU

ONE sailor extraordinaire 10nSanders appears to have

achieved one of the objectives hisidol, Captain James Cook, failed todo nearly two centuries ago

The lean solo circumnavigatorwith the unkempt raven hair hascharted a three-kilometre-highundersea mountain in the South-West Pacific.

The peak, which rears up from afive-kilometre-deep sea bed could bepart of the so-called Great SouthLand that Cook unsuccessfulIy sear-ched form his 18th Century voyagesof discovery in his ship the En-deavour.

Sanders, a 47-year-old formershearing contractor, found the peakwith a sophisticated 12KHZ Rayth-eon echo sounder he is carryingaboard his 14.5m SIoop Parry En-deavour, in which he is attemptingto shatter all records (mostly hisown) by circling the globe threetimes non-stop and alone.

Scientists at the Centre for Marine

Science and Technology at the Cur-tin University near Perth are thrilledabout Sanders' discovery because itsupports Information from satellitedata from a 1978 deployment of theUnited States Sea-Sat device, whichused aircraft radar estimates of the

height of the sea surface to infer thelikely structure of the seabed be-neath.

The director of the centre, DrJohn Penrose, who was excited ab-out the discovery when he phonedme about it, said the satellite datahad guided the lone sailor's search.

"The charting of the peak hasadded to 10n's epic feats of naviga-tion and seamanship with the sub-stantial achievement of carrying outworthwhile science during this re-cord-breaking voyage, " the beardedbothn said.

Sanders found the underwater

peak - which could be part of athe South-mountain range - In

West Pacific basin region near42deg. south latitude and 150deg.west longitude.

JO" r, "nSA

MOUNTA^"- AT SEA:The circumnavigator said by

radio-telephone as he headed to-wards Cape Horn for the seocndtime on his current voyage, "It's abig bonus when I can combine doinglaps of the world with real science. "

Part of Captain Cook's brief fromthe Royal Society was to search forthe Great South Land which 18th

century philosophers believed mustexist to balance the northern land

masses already inhabited."10n Sanders' echo-sounding re-

SUIts lie near where such a continent

was thought to exist, thus linking hisdiscovery with the search under-taken by Cook in the 18th Cen-tury, " said Dr Penrose.

James Cook has always been San-ders' idol. His Quaker descendantshave a direct link with the Cook

family in Yorkshire, England.The original Jonathan Sanders

was born in 1696 near Whitby,birthplace of Cook, and he became asailcloth manufacturer.

in 1839, George Sanders, son ofJonathan Sanders 111 migrated toSouth Australia under the Wakefieldscheme, and he started the Sanderspioneering roots in Australia.

by Hz, gb Sthmitt in PerchA current English George Sanders

still has a wooden tea cannister

shaped like a travelling trunk, whichwas carved from one of Cook'swooden vessels, the Adventure. itwas given to the Sanders family byMrs Cook about the beginning ofthe 19th century.

The solo sailor, now in the 14thmonth eruly) of his 23 month odys-sey, is a life member of the WhitbyLiterary and Philosophical Society

By the time this edition goes toSanders should bepress,

approaching the Cape of GoodHope (Africa) in the gale-tossedAtlantic Ocean

The remarkable navigator alreadyowns 12 records for sailing single-handed in his S & S34 Perle Banou,in which he did a double non-stopcircumnavigation in 1981-82
