After John demonstrates VISION to the Torpedo Station, he obtains a sole source contract for the Navy’s first purpose built, fast, spar torpedo boat. John’s initial offer is to build a steam-launch suitable for a torpedo boat of 55 feet (delivered at 58 feet) with a pair of engines rated at 60 hp, capable of 19 mph for ½ hour, 16-16½ mph steady speed and including a 12 hp engine for an electric light machine. BuOrd’s requirements in response are simple- build us your design; it must go 19 mph operating with sea water in the boiler for one hour. [25] more
In July 1869 Porter took the first steps to correct the Navy’s deficiency in torpedo warfare. He directed the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance (BuOrd) to organize a Torpedo Corps manned by line officers and to establish a torpedo station to be located on former army land on Coasters Harbor Island Newport, RI., where the engineering, development, experimentation and training were to be conducted. The Torpedo Corps was assigned total system responsibility to develop the torpedo as a weapon- the explosives, torpedoes, electric generators, batteries and torpedo boats. No staff officer- constructor, steam engineer or their Bureaus had authority- they participated only at the behest of the Torpedo Corps. [4]
After three months of humiliation, Borie resigned. The new Secretary, George Robison, slowly worked to ease Porter out of his position of control, aided by Porter’s declining health. In a year Porter was out. Following Admiral Farragut’s death, Porter was confirmed by the Senate in January 1871, as the Admiral of the Navy; a lifetime appointment as the senior officer of the Navy; a job without fleet command, but the responsibility “to lay before the Secretary of the Navy a report on the present condition of the Navy and offer such professional suggestions as may further promote its discipline and efficiency”. This included the responsibility to oversee material inspections of the fleet. Porter took full opportunity of his position to influence policy with lengthy annual reports and engaged in correspondence with and testimony before Congress. His reports often included details on developing naval technology that one might expect from the Bureaus. Over time his influence waned. The Secretary Robeson included Porter’s report in his annual reports of 1870-75; then stopped without comment. Porter undeterred wrote them every year. [8] [9] In 1881 incoming Secretary of the Navy, William Hunt, brought a new energy, “to see to it that the Navy of the United States should not be left to perish through inaction, but should be restored to a condition of usefulness.” He sought new ideas from a Naval Advisory Board as well as Admiral Porter, publishing again the latter’s annual report from 1881-1889. (We explore this subject later in this paper.) [10]

Built in China, the FarEast 18 is a 19-foot Simonis Voogd design that emphasizes high speed with low maintenance at a relatively modest price. It carries a square-top fully battened mainsail and a sprit-flown asymmetrical spinnaker. A kick in the pants for buoy racing, this daysailer can compete with six crew, but will also sleep three below if you decide to stay out overnight. [links]

Small daysailers can offer daytime rides that match an array of aesthetic sensibilities, budget caps, and requirements for portability, security, speed, and alternate propulsion.
The Sage 17 sells with a loose-footed main and a working jib that sheets inside the lifelines, but can also carry outboard genoa tracks for optional, larger headsails. There’s a 400-pound lead keel and a 120-pound centerboard and a kick-up rudder that won’t leave you stranded when sailing in skinny water. The draft is 1’9” with appendages up and 3’11” when down. Below, there’s a V-berth and sitting headroom, plus a range of cruising options that include a great day-sailing feature, a portable MSD. Pricing is in the $25K range. here

A Covid constrained 2020 season:
CRF MkII becomes CRF 2020; [links]
One look back and another forward:
The rest of the 2017 season went well for CRF MkII in that the race results looked good, and there were no angry mobs with lanterns and pitchforks. Instead, most of the dock talk was positive, and those who had questions could refer to the website, where all of the formulae and factors used in calculating ratings were posted, along with answers to FAQ’s. (See https://www.classicyachts.org/ratings/) However, an in-depth look back at 2017 results that focused on boats that were regular participants and were similarly well prepared, well equipped and well sailed did raise some caution flags. First, long, narrow, race-oriented boats (eg. Universal and International Rule boats) appeared to be advantaged relative to the rest of the fleet. Second, deep draft, especially among some centerboarders, seemed to be disadvantaged against more normal draft. Third, the vintage staysail schooner Fortune corrected out way too well, way too often. And finally, there were some anomalies in the owner declarations for keel type and LWL vs displacement for some boats. Overall, it was a quite good initial roll out of an entirely new system tasked with rating an unusually diverse fleet of boats, and our firm mandate for full transparency was met. There were definitely some refinements needed, however. here
