In this caper, Jim shares the story of his summer 2019 ride on one of his “cattlemarans” in the Caribbean. Jim sails along on a big catamaran with his entrepreneur-boatbuilder-sailor friend Doug Jane to deliver the boat to a customer. Lots of fun and challenges on this trip … with a little insight into the boat chartering business.…

6+ y ago11:47

11:47

WHAT'S HAPPENING? TOO MUCH! This Caper tells of many Capers -- Too many to permit our weekly schedule from continuing right now, but enough to bring you a new Caper now and then. My Podcast is not going away, and after all, there are over 80 of them posted and accessible any time. But current involvements, as brought on part by the Podcast, make it…

82: "REAL" BOAT, REAL SKIPPER (Part 3) 30:20

6+ y ago30:20

30:20

FINE PHILOSOPHICAL FILANDERING Part Three of this flirtation between monohull and multihull, this Caper continues the conversation between Havilah Hawkins, Larry Fortunoff and me aboard the classic sloop VELA. Revealed are the levels of commitment, persistence and conviction that are inter-layered with the design, construction and operation of any…

81: "REAL" BOAT, REAL SKIPPER (Part 2) 29:14

7y ago29:14

29:14

UNMARKED FORK IN A DESERT TRAIL Talking again with Havilah Hawkins Jr. aboard his monumental gaff sloop VELA, we approach the subject of parting with one's boat of many years. We then revert to all the things he has done with those many years of vessel stewardship, and inevitably return to ending that era of one's life. "Haddie" has a lot to say ab…

80: "REAL" BOAT, REAL SKIPPER 33:02

7y ago33:02

33:02

"REAL" BOAT, REAL SKIPPER This Caper deviates. It is a conversation with a real schoonerman, largely about a very traditional, single-hulled vessel whose designer, builder and skipper tells the story of how a man and wife with a "real" boat can influence -- in an inspired manner -- the lives of many.…

7y ago29:33

29:33

ANCHORAGE CONVERSATIONS (Part 2) Here are a few more Sterncastle Stories with my buddy Larry, which makes this capercast a Part 2 of the Part 1 portion of this chat. Tied to a dock in Maine, with no anchoring worries, with a good friend on a good boat, it is time to tie one on and gather the yarns that make cruising a tapestry. In this brand of bla…

78: THE 100' FOUR HULLER 32:04

7y ago32:04

32:04

THE 100' FOUR HULLER In this second of two conversations with Roger Hatfield, we learn the backstory of about the most bizarre, yet commercially successful, multihulls ever. And get this: Gold Coast has already started on a second one! If that ain’t “The Ancient Future” now! Listen and learn. Please enjoy this Caper about the four-hulled “Tandem Ca…

77: KNOT MY PROBLEM 33:28

7y ago33:28

33:28

KNOT MY PROBLEM This Caper has all you need to know about the four-hulled “Tandem Catamaran,” at least enough to really understand it from the next Caper. Roger Hatfield, the co-designer and builder of this futuristic configuration, tells us how the concept, which comes from his client Mr. Warren Mosler, may indeed point the way ahead for the smoot…

17:13

REALITY EN SHTICK To the tune of "Yes, we have no bananas," we have no video today. Or tomorrow, but maybe someday, even if I have to make it myself. There's a story here, and I'm just trying to get it, and tell it, straight. Nevertheless, there IS video today -- if not much -- as per the link listed below. Suggestion: To placate your justifiable …

75: ONE, TWO, THREE OR FOUR (yes, 4) HULLS? 20:16

7y ago20:16

20:16

ONE, TWO, THREE OR FOUR (yes, 4) HULLS? This Caper is mainly a report on the current status of the OutRig Project. It describes the cast of characters involved in determining that status, plus something of how these individuals have come to be involved. While there is no conclusion on the main issue — how the Project will integrate with the Mariner…

74: A BOAT FOR TWO BUBBAS 29:25

7y ago29:25

29:25

A BOAT FOR TWO BUBBAS This Caper tells of evolving a small catamaran for taking two big boys fishing, with nine chances to get out and back. Those chances are: one breeze, two batteries, four legs and two hulls. These hulls are set just wide enough apart to permit real bubbas to really bounce around. This combination of features is unprecedented, a…

73: THE ANCIENT FUTURE 23:31

7y ago23:31

23:31

THE ANCIENT FUTURE This is my first attempt at looking back on our contemporary multihull stories from the fictional vantage of about 150 years ahead in the future. It is an experiment, done mostly for the fun of it, but hoping to suggest the role that multihulls may play in the long term saga of man's relationship to the sea, to the Planet, and to…

72: THE MULTIHULL PHENOMENON 30:27

7y ago30:27

30:27

THE MULTIHULL PHENOMENON To assure our new listeners that these capers are about people as much as they are about boats, this issue starts with an old boat making news. It's an example of how the postwar "Can-Do Generation" dragged multihulls from "the lunatic fringe" into the main stream. It brings old boats into the conversation again, and then s…

71: HOW SEARUNNERS CAME TO BE 20:50

7y ago20:50

20:50

HOW SEARUNNERS CAME TO BE This is Part Two of the audio update to Chapter 5 of Among The Multihulls, which concludes the evolution -- in the 1960s and 70s -- of the Searunner Trimaran design series. It finishes with a highly qualified appraisal of this type of vessel. This story is not intended to convince anyone to build a Searunner today, but ins…

70: PRISON ISLAND 26:34

7y ago26:34

26:34

PRISON ISLAND This caper takes me back to Mexico to retrieve Juana from the canners at Sabo. We then stumble into a delightful cove on an island where we are not supposed to be, but there is nobody around. We play Robinson Crusoe, catch a lift home, and meander towards the days of Searunner trimerans. But we don't get there because of computer prob…

7y ago32:13

32:13

WITH A CREW OF FOUR (ONE GESTATING) This is the audio update for Chapter 4 of my book “Among The Multihulls - Volume 1.” It tells of our coastal voyage in the 24' trimaran Juana, probably the first modern trimaran to venture offshore, 1959. It's an old story, told here with some new details -- let's call them embellishments -- intended to help plac…

68: SETTING THE SCENE 37:32

37:32

SETTING THE SCENE In this audio version of Chapter 3 of Among the Multihulls, I attempt to go a little deeper into the "deep history" of how the modern trimaran came into being. It sets the scene for the explosive advent inf the 1960s by describing the ebullience and confidence that brought the seafaring multihull into the main stream. *NB (Note we…

31:45

PROMISE MADE Well yes, I made a promise to myself, that night at Old Providence Island over sixty years ago. I would fasten myself to a life with boats and sailing. And I suppose it would appear that I have kept it, but I'm not suggesting it 's for everyone. For me, the stimuli were so strong, the fulfillment so co complete, the identity so clear, …

THE LAST NEXT CHAPTER (An Audio Afterword) Here begins a series of Capers stemming from my book AMONG THE MULTIHULLS. They also stem from a text Afterword called THE NEXT LAST CHAPTER, which is posted on www.outrigmedia.com. Now, just two years later, I am adding further commentary to update and re-focus the text version, hoping to reach those who …

20:54

DANNY, DOUG AND DAD "Put yourself out there," is the theme of this caper, with three examples of how it's done. Danny Mydlack, our new media consultant, put himself in here by taking the initiative to contact us and make two trips down from Baltimore for gathering footage for our upcoming video "tractor." Doug Jayne has put himself out there for ye…

PLAY IT WHEN I'M DEAD Wishing that I had collected more voice recordings when my subjects were alive, this caper is offered while the subject IS alive, miraculously. My particular friend Bruce Matlack tells of just one of many youthful exploits from back when he was trying to get to Tahiti without his own boat. He eventually made it, in his twenti…

ANCHORAGE CONVERSATIONS - Part One This is what happen when two or more old boat nuts find themselves in a secure anchorage with old friends, a lobster in the pot, and "...A little more than enough to drink, for thirst is a dangerous thing." (Jerome K. Jerome)

A CONSUMMATE CRUISER SPEAKS Here's a guy who sailed in multihulls as an infant, and now owns DELPHYS, a 34' Searunner trimaran which has been called, by John Marples (one of her designers), "The most developed Searunner in the world." And her usage? Well, with her owner/builder crew of Mark Johnson and his wife Mariam, the boat has visited some twe…

36:33

BOATBUILDING -- WHICH KIND? After doing several interview capers, we have here the results of some interesting comparisons, resulting from hurricane damage, between good old sheet plywood construction, and "cold molded" or Constant Camber (CC) construction. Design differences between the Searunner 34 and the CC 35 are discussed, as are the challeng…

GONE AGAIN While I'm away appraising the hurricane damage to Scrimshaw, I hope you will enjoy the conclusion of my telephone conversation with Lee Bullock, which exemplifies the committed lifestyle of those many individuals who invested substantial portions of their lives to creating the modern multihull. Then, please offer your critique of my seem…

26:09

CLOSE FRIENDS, CLOSE CALLS Jo Hudson speaks of "thrilling" incidents recalled, in 2004, from his first seafaring voyage (in the mid-1960s) in his owner-built 30' Piver Nimble trimaran, from California to Australia. These Capers are the only examples of Jo's recorded voice telling his own stories. He is very matter-of-fact, not so effusive as I am,…

25:01

THE SECOND FIRST ENCOUNTER Responding to Jo Hudson's passing, I feel obliged to share with you something of our 55-year, 9-multihull connection. This Caper tells of how we first men (for the second time), and continues with a glimpse of the "can-do" commitment and enthusiasm that typified the early California trimaran happening. Eventually, I will …

32:03

A BLAST FROM THE PAST, AND PRESENT This recorded telephone conversation reveals more of the boundless enthusiast, willingness to risk, and lifestyle commitment that typified the advent of the early modern multihull. It also contains, at the end, a sad announcement.

56: HOW TO SAVE YOUR BOAT IN A HURRICANE 30:05

7+ y ago30:05

30:05

IN THE CROSSHAIRS "There's a hurricane coming! What do I do with my boat?" There are several answers to that question, including "Maybe nothing." But that's only if you're out at sea. The more common calamity happens when your boat is in a crowded harbor or marina, or hauled out on land. Then, there are lots of things you can to to protect your boa…

MEMORIAL AND MAINE Jim discusses his most recent capers in both Michigan and Maine. First, he talks about the memorial service he attended on behalf of his old friend Meade Gougeon, immediately followed by his travel to the rugged, northeast coast of North America.

54: THE KING OF GLUE 17:37

7+ y ago17:37

17:37

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT "THE KING OF GLUE" This Caper is a small collection of remarks made to me about how Meade Gougeon, and the whole WEST System phenomenon, has influenced their lives. It reveals a lot about how "appropriate technology" can make a difference in unexpected ways.

MEADE GOUGEON HAS SAILED AWAY This issue is a collection of my own personal recollections of a long friendship with Meade, founder of WEST System epoxy products.

Pedalcat After all the techy, deep sea stuff we've offered lately, here's something for even an old duffer (like me) or a new angler (like me), or a futuristic sailor / winger / foiler / pedaler ... to think aout. With all the new technologies coming to the fore these days, it seems obvious that there will be combinations emerging, and I see pedal …

51: CAPSIZE RECOVERY 20:28

7+ y ago20:28

20:28

CAPSIZE RECOVERY People have been contending with multihull capsize for millennia. It now appears that modern design and materials make it possible to almost eliminate the propensity for multihulls to be "more stable when upside down than right side up." The difference is in buoyant "wing" masts and/or masthead floats, all strong enough to withstan…

50: WINGS WITH FOILS 22:31

7+ y ago22:31

22:31

WINGS WITH FOILS Here's yet more about the Hybrid Wing, its history, and that of other fully-rotating but unstayed, "free standing" rigs. The problem with unstayed rigs in multihulls, and the problem with foiling, are both discussed. How to resolve these shortcomings is suggested, leaving some questions unanswered. In the next session, I promise to…

WING SAILING (PART TWO) Here is the conclusion, for now, of my infatuation with the Hybrid Wing. There is a lot more to learn about this thing, but I have now had the opportunity to actually sail in a Wing-equipped catamaran, and I hope my description explains why I'll never get over this thing. I feel certain it is headed for long term historical …

WING SAILING Now I've actually been there, folks. Under a 62' Hybrid Wing rig, on a 40' "beach cat" racing catamaran, with Randy Smyth and Tommy Gonzales with Scott Brown taking pictures. It's a transcendent experience for an old shellback to sail effortlessly at speeds in the high twenties, and without hydrofoils yet. I'll tell you about it in th…

FROG MAN BUMP Here's another old story, this one about a shark. And about feeding time at the "lion house." And about what to do with fish cleanings if you just might be swimming around the boat the next day. Okay?

7+ y ago31:05

31:05

THE CHUCUNAQUE I'm digging pretty deep here to bring you the kind of story that one withholds until old age. When one looks back and tries to figure "How I Got This Way." It's those early exposures to certain feelings, special friends and meaningful mentors, or, in this case, a village in the palms filled with people with whom we could not communic…

GOING DOWN An old shipwreck story from my schooner bumming days, it is told here to reach across the years with some perspective of classic seafaring in deep, heavy monohulls relative to the contemporary -- even futuristic -- lightweight vessels. My digital assistant, CRISTI (Can't Read It So Tell It) knows that I can edit her out when she interru…

THE 300-NUT CANOE (And Other Considerations) This Caper takes us to a salvaged 57-foot catamaran, upside down and abandoned in the Caribbean last November, but recently discovered adrift off North Carolina, still habitable and salvageable. This is then compared to a small aluminum skiff drifting for months with crew aboard who are “returned “from t…
