Searching for Charles D. Mower

by Stan Grayson

A long time ago now, at a cluttered, used-book shop on the New Jersey shore, I acquired the 1945 edition of Sailing Craft: Mostly Descriptive of Smaller Pleasure Sail Boats of the Bay. First published in 1928, Sailing Craft had been conceived and edited by a wealthy Philadelphian named Edwin J. Schoettle. Although he’d gained considerable success as a manufacturer of cardboard boxes, Schoettle’s real passion was sailing. It was this boat obsession, centered on but not limited to Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, and his impressive social connections that gave Schoettle access to the best-known yachtsmen and designers of his time.

Lecture: Finding PAX

Kaci Cronkhite’s talk, “Finding PAX: Solving mysteries, restoring history, for the love of a wooden boat,” is a story of discovery and reconnection like no other. Having fallen hopelessly in love with a 1930s Danish spidsgatter, circumnavigator Kaci embarked on an international search to unravel the mystery of the boat’s past, and discovered the many lives PAX touched since she first hit the water in 1936.
