The small boat was sailed by children f or almost 40 years By John Blaich • EDITOlt'S NOTE: John Blaich is a Corona del Mar resident who, about once a month, will write histories of Interesting boats that graced Newport Harbor. I n 1923, Jim Webster of Newport Harbor Yacht Club read of a plan for a new sailboat called a snowbird in the Rudder Yachting Magazine. He felt th.is sailboat would be an ideal boat for children to sail in the shallow waters of Newport Harbor. So Webster hired Tom Broadway, a local boat builder, lo build four snowbirds for a price of $200 each. By 1960, there were more Utan500 snowbirds sailing. Originally, the fleet insignia on the sails was a bird. It was soon changed to a red ·s. · G.Y. Johnson Boat Works of New- port built many of the early snow- birds. They could be identified by a solid oak, steam bent, cwved coam- ing at the front of the cockpit. In 1928, Donald Douglas of Dou- glas Boat and Canoe Company in Newport started to build snowbirds, as weU. They were somewhat lighter in weight and had a V-shaped coam- ing at the front of the cockpit. The Douglas snowbirds were fast boats. They won many races for the young skippers. About 1939, South Coast Boat Works made a few snowbirds, too. In early 1 934~ C.B. "Bernie" M cNally of Balboa hired A.E. Hansen, a Newport Beach boat builder, to build a fleet of 10 snow- birds for rental service at Balboa. These were made with heavy scant- lmgs and were planked with Philip- pme mahogany. The boats were var- nished and were handsome sailboats. A black "M c" was placed on the sail rather than the red ·s· designation · of the standard raang snowbirds. A year or so later, Roland Vallely had a sunilar fleet of snowbirds built for rental service. The insignia on its sail was a turquoise colored ·v. • Both of the rental fleets were phased out about 1953 due lo old age. Some of the better boats were sold to individuals and were still sail- ing as late as 1960. In 1956, Bill Schock of the W.B. Schock Company started building C1berglass snowbirds. These were fast boats and were warmly received. They eliminated the need for sand- ing and painting the bottom of the wooden snowbirds every spring. As of this year. all of the wooden snowbirds have passed on. We know of only one fiberglass snowbird still sailing upon the waters of Newport Harbor. AN IMPRESSIVE HISTORY By then, the boats bad had a col- orful history. In 1~32, the Los Ange- les Olympic Garnes Committee picked the snowbird as the official monotype sailing dingy for the Olympic Games. However, the rig was changed. The boom was shortened and the mast extended. The insignia ·s· on the sail was changed to a red "O . • It was felt that this would be a better rig for the windy area of Cabrillo Snowbirds, like the one seen sailing tn this picture, became popular wooden boats for nearly 40 years but have since passed on. Beach in Los Angeles Harbor where the races were held. Snowbird owners were asked to lend their boats for the event. The snowbirds w ould be returned in good condition with this new rig and W1th new sails. When these modified snowbirds were returned to theu owners, it was found that the ·s· rig was faster and better suited to New- port Harbor sailing. No new ·o· ngs were built after the Olympic Garnes. Several fleets grew up around the boats. By 1939, there were two very acbve snowbird fleets. One was at Newport Harbor Yacht Club and the other at Balboa Yacht Club. Follow- ing the war, when Lido Yacht Club became active, there was a Uurd fleet at Udo Isle and the fleets engaged in inter club regattas dunng the summer season. Still, there were many snowbirds IJl the harbor whose owners were not members or a yacht club. In the inter- est of getting all of the snowbirds out for' a race, the chamber of commerce sponsored the First Right of the Snowbirds in 1936. This became an annual August event peaking with 163 entrees in 1957. The event ls still held every August and is now known as the Flight of the l..azers. SAILORS GET THEIR START Many well-known local sailors got their start sailing snowbl.J'ds. Dunng the summer of 194 1, there were 18 snowbtrds actually sailing and raong at Newport Harbor Yacht CJub. These were owned and skippered by boys and girls under 16. They were: Ben Younglove · S33; Bar~a C\mcWf • 035: Norton Younglove -S34; Janet Young -S82; Linda Lewis -S151; David Heyler -S164; Florence Fussel - Sl84; Ted Mertz · S192; Weldon Dor- ris -S 163; Bill McDowell -S202; Carol Howard· S211; Bob Burges -S238; Donald Young -S246; Nancy Newport -S248; Henry Grandin • S258; Nancy Beardslee -S271; Toodie Christensen · S280; and Bob Millikan -S 158. Balboa Yacht Club also had an active snowbird fleet m 1941. We don't have the names of the children sailing that year. However, some of the well-known sailors who got thel.J' start m the Balboa Yacht Club snow- bird fleet are Jack Axelson, Bart Henderson, Drew Glassell, Drew Pal- lete, Bill Lyon, Ca'fl Long, Phil Greene and Sheldon Kinney The snowbirds supplied a need for a children's satlboat for more than 35 years. However, there were two problems with the boat. They w ere heavy and difficult for children to pull out of the water, and they also required a crew for racing. The present popular children's sailboat. "The Sabot,~ does not have these problems.

You see, my wife and I have been house hunting for some time now. You would be too if you were us. It's partly because where we live now Is right in the shadow of the Matterhorn, and I'm not talking the Swiss Alps. Sure, we have a ruce place and all, but we also have a grow- ing family, a toddler and a new- born baby, and we need some- thing bigger and quieter and with less tour buses. So close to the Magic Kmgdom are we, that when the (Lreworks go off at rught, 1t feels Wee we're on the Bosnian front lmes. So yeah, we'd like to move away from Mousedom, and Costa Mesa -the home of Uus fine newspaper that I work at - would be a logical choice. Only problem is, it's not as aifordable as Steel thinks. "We've got to be serious about the people we are letting live here,· Steel said the other night at a meeting m the Mesa Verde community, as he railed on about affordable housing. Let's see. last time my Wife and I checked, even modest homes in Mesa Verde, where Steel was speak.109, can start as !ugh as $400,000. That's not exactly what I'd call •artordable • • • • OK. I know, I know, I'm m1ss- 10g the message here · Steel camp say that il Costa Mesa were to become more like New- port Beach, that would solve the problems. I • But what if you lived in New- port H eights and you had a neighbor named Eric Bechler? 11 He wasn't "illegal" and he Tony Dodero . FROM THE NEWSROOM ' What Steel and others on the Westside are saying is if you get rid of the blighted apartment complexes and industnal areas and build better housing, you'll make the ar ea desirable for upscale,youngfamilies - though not mine -to come a.nd live. It's hard to disagTee Wlth that message. Everyone wants ruce communities, nice homes, ruce parks, nice shopping areas Even editors want that.
