Keeping wooden boats afloat
is almost a spiritual affair

By JERRY HARKAVY

BROOKSVILLE, Maine
(AP) — Like a defiant
minority in a sea of glass
fibre, wooden boats
sometimes seem to be
running against the tide. —

They require long hours of
maintenance and:‘many a
boatowner has swapped his
wood hull for glass fibre
after growing tired of the
frequest repairs ani
seasonal: coats of paint or
varnish. :

But to those who love
wooden boats, the
relationship between the
owner, his boat and the sea
can border on the spiritual.

Jonathan Wilson, the
phiJ osophically - oriented
editor and publisher of
Woodenboat magazine, says
many people perceive a soul

or personality in wooden
boats, a Feeling that can’t be
duplicated in metal or glass
fibre.

“T don’t know anybody
who says, ‘ Sass fibre
boatis alive,’ that ‘I can feel
the. soul of this boat,” he
said. “But I know’ a lot of
people who feel that their

‘wooden boats are alive.”

Wooden-boat enthusiasts
make up in intensity for
their lack of numbers and
the worldwide fraternity has
found a link in Wilson’s
three-year-old magazine,

ublished bimonthly. in a
armhouse just outside this
tiny village near Penobscot
Bay.

The glossy magazine,
aimed at owners, builders
and designers, was started
ona shoestring in 1974, when

Wilson optimistically went
to press with 12,000 copies
and only two subscribers,

_ He displayed Woodenboat at

boat shows and marinas,
where it stirred interest.

Since that time,
circulation has grown to
around 20,000, much of it in
the wooden-boat centres of
New England and the
maritime provinces on the
East Coast, and Washington
and British Columbia in the
west, Wilson boasts
Subscribers in places
ranging from the Soviet
Union to Australia.

The publication has
turned Wilson, a 31-year-old
college ‘dropout, into a guru
of wood construction, which
he sees as embodying the
virtues of integrity and
craftsmanship, plus the

Brown rats on display -

-LONDON (AP) — Brown
rats, the scourge of man for
centuries, have gone on

display in a European zoo— .
will

‘a mock-up sewer for a
home. :
Per Seaton, an official of
Copenhagen Zoo, says in the
International Zao Yearbook,
lublished by the Zoological
ociety of London, that
despite its vast numbers,
the brown rat is not a
cormmon sight, living as it
dees underground beneath
the cities. So the zoc had the
idea of displaying the
animal in its ‘‘natural
surroundings.”

Seaton and his colleagues
toured Copenhagen’s sewers
for ideas and then designed
an exhibit to enable visitors
to look directly into the rats’
home, to see them behaving
as they might had they
remained hidden from
human eyes.

The exhibit had to
escapeproof, so the staff
made a 22-foot imitation
sewer tunnel from iron
sheeting in the shape of a big
C, with a kvoering chamber
at one eng and a feeding
chamber at the other-—an

‘incentive {ér the rats to run

be

up and down the tunnel with
greater frequency," Seaton
said. .

Water, circulated by an
electric pump, covers the.
sewer floor and, as extra
touches of realism, the
interior surface is cement-
coated and bits of broken

pipe, rubble and old clothing
are scattered on the floor, .

The exhibit is located in a
gloomy storage cellar under
dim lighting and the total
impression that it generates
is one of ‘“caleulated
unpieasantness,'’ Seaton
suid.

‘work

ideals of traditional beauty.

He said the 1970s have
seen a renewed interest in
wooden beats, fueled in part
by a return to simpler
lifestyles and a disdain for
mass- roduced yachts or
oats.

“This resurgence is not
just limited to a few
diehards or isolated souls
who are committed to the
same passions. More and
more people in the mass
market are becoming
dissatisfied with stamped-
out boats.” ;

Wilson’ predicted a
healthy future for wooden
boats as. costs of
petrochemicals continue to

“rise. He said recently

developed construction
techniques have ‘improved
the stability of wooden
boats, allowing builders to
turn out stronger and lighter
hulls.

Despite his strong
Feelings, Wilson
acknowledged that wooden

‘boats are not for everyone.

“The choice depends en-

tirely on your temperament. -

Glass fibre is good for
people who just want to be

_on the water.”

But for those who want a
total experience, Wilson will
rhapsodize about the virtues
of wood. The hours spent in
maintenance, he said,
contribute to the enjoyment
and shouldn't be regaided
as work.

“A good wooden boat re-
sponds to care and love, It’s

e experience of caring for
something fine,"

Mex

Objectivity and foresight will _
be day’s prime requirements.
