blue jay sailboat

Blue Jay Class

Conceived in 1947, by Drake H. Sparkman, head of the New York designing firm of Sparkman and Stephens, as a “baby Lightning” one-design, sloop-rigged sailboat. Used in Novice, Teen, and Men’s and Women’s sailing events, and originally constructed in wood, and since the early 1960s in both wood and fiberglass. Total number of boats constructed over 7,200 worldwide. The Blue Jay is currently being phased out at a few yacht clubs and being replaced by the Pixel.

I own a plywood Blue Jay, serial number 3348. Does anyone have any idea of when it might have been made? I know fiberglass Blue Jays were introduced in the 1960’s, but I believe they continued to make them out of wood as well. I’m just curious to know how old my boat is if anyone out there has any leads!

I would like to buy a boom tent for my Bluejay Sailboat. Does anyone know any for sale?

Blue Jay sailboat

Three forgotten one-design dinghy ghosts.

May 4, 2020 by Sail1Design Editor 1 Comment

Written by Mary Knauth

We are all familiar with the drill of the very dawn of sailing for young children. Parents eager to either make their kids fall in love with the sport – just as they did – or rather join the Green Fleet at their yacht club because “it’s the thing to do” when you’re a member. The little six-year old’s stand around awkwardly, some shy and intimidated and some overly eager and keen to show off their existing knowledge because they know the bow from the stern. They crowd in the instruction room with their PFD’s cinching up against their chins, sitting in front of the white board. Here, we will explore three one-class designs through a nostalgic journey of my later childhood growing up in Connecticut.

A nine foot chunky beast of a boat, with a mere 45 square foot sail area, and held together with green weathered brass cotter pins, this simple and easy dinghy is virtually indestructible. Each dinghy of the fleet is “adopted” by local yacht clubs or families; an annual endowment is donated to the Seaport for the upkeep and maintenance of the fleet. While monetary donations support the financial wing, it’s also very special for families who adopt a Dyer in memory of deceased loved ones. In essence, the fleet symbolizes a certain spirituality; #51 was adopted in 2010 and named Lissie, in my memory of my mother. For decades, our local sail loft, Farrar Sails – run by Kevin Farrar since 1986 – has been sewing the sails for the Seaport fleet and is still the sailmaker for the fleet today. During the summers, the Dyer Dhow fleet can be seen on the Mystic River. The colorful sails dot the river in the mornings and afternoons with sailors attending the Joseph Conrad summer sailing camp. Every October, the Mystic Seaport holds their annual Dyer Dow Derby: a super fun, semi competitive, regatta to celebrate the Dyer Dhow fleet and tradition because in New England, we are ALL about tradition! For more information, visit the Mystic Seaport Dyer Dhow Fleet Page .

Highlight of the week was always the Friday Inner Tube Triangle: an upwind triangle, and each of the marks was an inner tube, and each inner tube had either an instructor or sailor manning it. Not only was this super fun for the kids but also for the instructors, and it definitely helped with evening out the summer’s farmer tan! For more information, see the JY15 Class Association website .

One late summer day after sailing practice, I came home to find my family having a Saturday afternoon barbecue, and standing in the yard was Yankee. It was the most beautiful gift a young 16 old girl could ask for. I sailed it with my mother on the Mystic River, along the shore beside Mystic Seaport. She was striking and robust, a salt of her traditional past. It must be mentioned that Mystic is not a place where high performance, new hardware, and racing sails are appreciated; granted we still have Wednesday night regattas and die-hard foredeck sailors. In this area of the country, particularly Mystic, history and tradition of wooden boats are preached about and honored; the authentic art and technical skill that goes into designing them, building them, and maintaining them. We call it the “labor of love”. It’s challenging sailing an old wooden boat with brass hardware and blown out sails with no battens. Luxury items like aluminum vang packs won’t be found on those older rigs. But the rough saltiness from sailing these unique, traditional dinghys absolutely extends a certain skill for feeling the boat and how she reacts, feeling puffs and lulls before they hit, they require tenderness, respect, and love. In the 1960’s, the class association voted to allow fiberglass construction, providing a lightweight hull which is highly responsive and excels almost effortlessly in light air. They are still heavily raced today. For more information please visit the Blue Jay Class Association website .

For more information:

Since 1949, Mystic Seaport Museum has run the Joseph Conrad Summer Camp, ages 8 – 15 learn to sail in Dyer Dows during a week long overnight camp. Campers sleep on the historic square rigged Joseph Conrad, while sailing and living in the 18th century village of the Seaport. The Seaport is also home to the famous school ship Brilliant, a 62 foot wooden schooner designed by Sparkman & Stephens in 1932, it is the oldest sail education program in the country. https://www.mysticseaport.org/learn/sailing/

Farrar Sails is headed by Kevin Farrar who has a steeped footprint in one class design sailing. Kevin started making sails since 1971. Among many trophies, Kevin – along with crew – won the 2007 IOD Worlds in Nantucket. The loft uses an advanced CAD sail design process and autoCAD to design custom sails. The loft makes sails for several one class fleets, including 420’s. http://www.farrarsails.com

Blue Jays, and Lightnings, and Lasers, Oh My

There must be a couple of hundred small sailboats available new or used that would serve just fine on any Maine lake. In this issue, we narrow the choices down to just three: the Blue Jay, the Lightning, and the Laser.

Lightnings and Blue Jays—like Stars and Comets, Indians and Town Class, Thistles and International 14s—could be considered size variations on a theme. Both are Sparkman & Stephens designs, and Blue Jays are often referred to as “baby Lightnings.” Back in the heyday of one-design sailing, this mama and baby sailboat theme was common.

Blue Jays have an emotional connection for me. My twin brother and I built our first boat, a Blue Jay, at the age of 14 in our family’s garage. Back in the day, before one-designs were all popped out of a mold, each with a white hull and a colored deck, a youngster’s first boat was a unique and treasured thing, more so of course if he and his brother built it themselves.

Blue Jays were inspired by Drake Sparkman and designed by his firm, Sparkman & Stephens. The former chair of his yacht club’s junior sailing program, Sparkman intended the boats to be used to teach sailing. Accordingly, Blue Jays feature a complete sloop rig with a mainsail, jib, and spinnaker. This setup provided the essential lines for two children to learn how to trim and coordinate sails. The boats, which have roomy open cockpits and no seats, can easily hold three kids or two adults.

The original design (1947) called for the boats to be easily built with readily available quarter-inch-thick plywood (the plans are still available from the International Blue Jay Class Association). A fiberglass version became available in the 1960s.

At 13'6" long with a draft of just 6 inches—or 4 feet with the centerboard down—the Blue Jay makes a great lake boat. Small and light, these boats can be trailered behind any old car, kept on a mooring, pulled up on the beach or just tied up at the dock. The small sail plan is manageable by kids of average size and limited strength, but in a strong wind this flattish-bottomed box still can get up and plane. It can capsize, too—although that takes a fair amount of effort. When you are just 14 or so, if the water is midsummer warm, capsizing just adds to the fun.

Now that I’m fully grown, it is easy for me to rig a Blue Jay on Lake Megunticook and sail it alone. Given my history with these boats, an afternoon sail in a Blue Jay is a special pleasure. The beauty of this design is that anybody can delight in the Blue Jay’s lively maneuverability, the enjoyment of hiking hard and making the boat point and go to windward. When I pull the centerboard halfway up, hike out hard, and hear those staccato little pulsations reverberating up from the cutwater, I’m buff, I’m young, and I’m ineffably happy.

While the Blue Jay’s centerboard is made of common plywood or laminated wood, the centerboard of its mama Lightning is galvanized or stainless-steel plate, only 3/8 of an inch thick. This metal board helps make the boat a little more stable. It also happens to be a good choice for rocky Maine lakes because it can bash into a rock without expensive damage. The thin centerboard has minimal resistance at high speed, allowing a Lightning to plane in good winds almost any time the spinnaker is up.

Modern fiberglass Lightnings are low maintenance. They are usually fitted with side ballast chambers or buoyancy bags so they can, with lots of grunting and groaning, be re-righted after capsizing by a crew of three. It helps to have some clothing or rags to stuff into the top of the centerboard trunk, and a nearby powerboat can be helpful. The fact is that I have sailed my buddy’s Lightning all around Panther Pond, just him and me, in all kinds of wind, and never had any trouble.

There are many high-tech expensive dinghies that can sail circles around a Lightning, but for me, when I sail a Lightning on a lake and heel her over displaying the flashy varnished seats and ribs and floorboards to lakeshore dwellers, I feel like John Beresford Tipton cruising downtown in his Duesenberg Touring Car.

The design was perfect in terms of performance, and also perfect in simplicity: The easy-to-build hull mated to the easy-to-build deck lid by means of a cleverly turned-down edge. The one slipped over the other and all that was needed to mate the parts together was a little bit of goo. (One might say it was a goo-ed idea!) Over 200,000 of these hulls have been manufactured and they can be found all over the world.

The Laser mast is just a round aluminum tube, or actually a pair of tubes that fit together. The single sail slips down over this pole before it is stepped, and since the sleeve rotates around with the sail, it’s all very aerodynamic. This is far easier and way less prone to trouble than you might imagine. In most any other boat you would have a halyard. But the Laser flips over and unflips with ease. If a thunderstorm looms, instead of dropping the sail you can intentionally capsize for a spell. The boat floats high and visible, becoming one huge life preserver.

Laser hulls are light enough (130 pounds) that one person can easily drag it back and forth from the shore to beach or woods. I owned a Laser at one time and by myself could haul it off the top of my car, where it customarily lived. I was a lot younger then….

If you get really good at sailing a Laser, you can qualify to compete in the Olympics. There is a somewhat smaller mast and sail combo available and whole gaggles of thusly-rigged Lasers form a separate official class, the Laser “Radial.” This is a great equalizer for the light and the small of stature.

But all that is racing stuff, and what I really wanted to emphasize is that there probably isn’t a boat in the whole world that is as much fun to just sail as a Laser. That’s what I’m talking about!

Flitting around at high speed on a windy blue day on a whitecapped Maine lake, your eyes just inches above the water. Some people can even gybe without catching the mainsheet under the corner of the transom! Not me—not always. But who cares?

We are on a lake, it’s midsummer, it’s hot, and a periodic dunking just washes off the sweat.

A Blue Jay is thirteen and a half feet long and removing the wooden glassed over deck meant removing a lot of fiberglass to face screw heads filled with resin--a daunting task.

On all previous boat projects when confronted with old screw removal my method of approach was: (1) using heat gun & scraper, clean area around the screw head, (2) using heat gun & brad awl, clean out the slots, (3) using screwdriver, try to remove screw, (4) when the slots stripped out, drill off the head and using one of the hollow screw extractors, remove the body of the screw, and (5) epoxy a plug into the hole. If the body of the screw had enough meat, I would attempt using an “easy-out” in place of the hollow extractor.

It is a method I hated, timely and fraught with risk of damaging the area when, inevitably, the drill bit would run off or miss the shank of the screw. Certainly I had tried to mitigate the risks, like when facing the refastening of a 60+ year old bronze fastened solid teak deck on a 40’ ketch, I had employed one of those “drill press” attachments on my best Milwaukee 1/2” drill and used a “bit guide”. Still the old bronze would break away or the drill bit would flex just enough to run out. Unfortunately it was, quite frankly, the only method I had found which worked.

I began removal of the Blue Jay’s deck with the above process in mind. Beginning with the smallest deck section, the poop, I stripped enough glass to find the screw patterns, measured the center-to-center spacing with a compass, marked off locations and scrapped the screw sites. The first couple screws came out ok after clearing the slots and then I hit the drill/extract wall replete with missed shanks and run-outs. About six screws into the project and I realized I had not enough years left in my life span to deal with all those #8 bronze screws. True I could cut up the deck, chisel around the fasteners & then get to them with vise-grip pliers, but I really wanted as much of the deck layment as possible for use as template stock.

In the movies, the technique in known as the “flashback”. OK, here we go... flash back to the summer of 2007, Mystic, Ct, and Wooden Boat Show. Tool tent. It was then and there I picked up a set of screw extractors going by the trade name “Grabit” . Flash ahead now to the winter of 2008/2009. Those Grabits had been tucked away in their nice little plastic case in my tool bag for some 16 months. What the h*##, I’d try anything at this point, including another of those shiny wooden boat toys one acquires at boat shows. One screw, two, three... a hundred. This thing works, so well, in fact, I began to vary my method. No longer did I need to clean the slots and after some practice, no longer did I need to scrap around the screw head—as long as a screw could be detected, even under layers of old flaky paint, it could easily be removed and in about the same length of time it took to initially install.

I realize all this rings of infomercial, but I have no association with Grabit other than being a satisfied customer; a single extractor, several hundred screws removed, only one broken head and still going strong. Dare I say “better than grits”?

‘nough said, back to the Blue Jay.

With the decking removed, some major structural problems, aside from age-failed fasteners, were noted in the method of construction employed in the foredeck. This in part I think was induced by misinterpretation of the class rules. The building plans call for 5/4 stock in the mast partner between beams at stations 3-4, 5/4 blocking between beams at stations 2-3 and 5/4 breast hook between stem and an intermediate beam approximately half the distance between the stem & station 1.

The class rules make specifications as follows:

DECK BEAMS. To be spruce or fir, 7/8" x 1 1/4" or 3/4" x 1 3/8" sided and moulded as shown. Not applicable to fiberglass hulls. DECK. Waterproof fir or mahogany plywood 1/4" thick. Covered with eight (8) ounce canvas or fiberglass, carried down over edge of deck and covered with moulding. Doubling blocks, etc.. must be uncovered only if made of mahogany plywood 1/4" thick, thoroughly painted. Not applicable to fiberglass hulls. Side decks must be strong enough to lift boat. Mast partners are be permanently fixed to prevent movement of mast at the deck. Refer to Section 17a for prohibition of movement of mast during race.

However, and here in, I suspect, lay cause of my troubles, the rules also state, “A king plank may be used on wood boats in lieu of or in conjunction with blocking on the forward deck centerline. King plank must not project more than 1/16" above decking. King plank must not exceed 6" wide (including rabbet) and 3/4" thick.”

Note that the above specifically states blocking, NOT breast hook; in my case the breast hook and intermediate beam as well as the station 2-3 blocking had been omitted in lieu of a 3/4” plank of 5” width. This was not a king plank in the classic sense as it did not extend above the surface of the deck, its only purpose being to back up the centerline seam of two fore deck sections of plywood.

Additionally, this plank had been let into the beams—in other words the beams were cut away to allow the ¾” plank to lie fully beneath the plywood. This had the net result of reducing the load bearing section of the beams from 1 and 3/8” to 5/8”—more than half the beam. In actuality the beams had even been over cut and ¼” shims placed between the plank and beam. Needless to say all beams had suffered breaks while weakness in the bows due to omission of the breast hook (the plank was toed in to a block screwed to the stem with nothing tying to the hull) was evident from numerous repairs to the stem.

The partners had been cut short, a piece of 3/4 pine screwed to the end and the whole screwed with substandard sized wood screws to beams without glue or bedding—this came out in my hand…

So, where to begin? Someone once uttered the most profound advice, “begin at the beginning.” Well, on a boat that might be construed as the bow—so let’s start there.

After stripping all the old paint we begin with a breast hook and intermediate beam per drawing.

The breast hook is bedded in epoxy and tied to the hull and beam with 3” #10 woodscrews.

Working aft from the breast hook, long pipe clamps were set to keep hull shape and one beam at a time was removed and replaced. Following removal of the old beam, each frame bay was wooded down. The beams and gussets were cut a bit oversized to increase bearing area on the frames and to get into new wood for the fasteners. The beams were dry fit, then bedded in epoxy and 3 ½” #10 screws run in from the hull. The pipe clamps were left in place until the gustsetswere fit, glued and through bolted. All then received a healthy dose of red lead primer followed with bilge gray.

In the accompanying pictures a small electric space heater can be seen. It is my practice when working through New England winters to tent over the boat after setting epoxy joints and run this heater inside the boat. I tent as small an area as possible and run the heat to maintain about 60 degrees at the epoxy. This allows the epoxy to be fully kicked by morning.

Partner and blocking beams--full sized blocking per drawings gets fit forward of the partners—it is narrower than the partners to allow fasteners to be reached when installing the partners; however, the fasteners for the block will get covered by the partners, so all must be well & snug. Shelves have been screwed and glued to the beams and fastener holes drilled and counter-bored. Fasteners are 5” lag screws. Blocking and partners bedded in epoxy.

Next installment we’ll look at the side deck and poop structure and look into the steam box.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Once seen widely in novice programs and in yacht clubs from Florida to Maine (USA), but also in teen’s, men’s, and women’s events. The BLUE JAY was originally constructed of plywood. The class association voted to allow fiberglass in the early 1960s.

Total Sail Area 90 sqft. Main 62 sqft. Jib 28 sqft. Spinnaker 56 sqft.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such option offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!” wrote (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as this offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This website (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other website sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center: Hotel Ukraine and Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

After wobbly start to season, Blue Jays rotation stabilizes in series win over Mariners

Apr 10, 2024; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (16) delivers a pitch against the Seattle Mariners in the first inning at Rogers Centre. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays rotation set a high bar last year with its splendid performance on the mound, finishing with a combined 3.85 ERA that ranked third in the major leagues.

Coming into this season, the group wanted to raise the bar even further, but after nearly three turns through the rotation, their results have been below what they expect from themselves. Before play Wednesday, the Blue Jays rotation had a collective 5.09 ERA over 58 1/3 innings, while their combined fWAR of zero ranked 29th.

“I’ve been pretty disappointed in our starters so far,” Chris Bassitt said Tuesday following his start.

This frank assessment of the rotation’s shaky start came shortly after Bassitt made his best start of the season, hurling 6 2/3 innings with one run in a win over the Seattle Mariners . But amid his criticism of the group’s disappointing start, the right-hander owned that before Tuesday, he’d not been part of the solution, and it’s left the bullpen — already short two of its best arms — particularly taxed.

“This is my third start, too, but two of my starts were terrible in my opinion, so I’m no help to the problem,” Bassitt said. “But I just think the biggest thing for us is getting our starters going. I’m so confident in all the guys we have. It’s just (our) first 10 or 11 games have been pretty rough for us, to be honest with you, outside of José Berríos .”

Indeed, with Kevin Gausman ’s velocity dipping last outing and Bowden Francis’ rough beginning to his season, Berríos has been the rotation’s bright spot, carrying a 1.45 ERA after three starts in which the right-hander has pitched at least six innings in each, including in Monday’s home opener win over the Mariners.

With Bassitt’s strong start Tuesday, the Blue Jays were hoping to get on a roll with their rotation. Clearly, Yusei Kikuchi understood the assignment as the left-hander threw six innings with one run against his former team. However, the start was slightly spoiled as the Blue Jays fell 6-1 to the Mariners, who staved off a sweep Wednesday at Rogers Centre.

“We give each other a lot of advice, little tips here and there,” Kikuchi said about the starters helping each other through his interpreter, Yusuke Oshima. “All of us, we’re all pretty experienced in the rotation. Obviously, there could be some ups and downs throughout the season, but we trust each other and we’ll be fine this year.”

Coming off a strong scoreless performance against the New York Yankees in his last outing, Kikuchi built off his success even further against the Mariners, against whom he now has a 0.52 ERA in three career starts. Leaning on his fastball and breaking balls, Kikuchi limited hard contact from Seattle’s lineup and racked up 13 swinging strikes on his way to nine strikeouts and just two walks.

The only run Kikuchi allowed came off a J.P. Crawford single in the third inning that scored left fielder Dylan Moore , who led off the inning with a walk.

Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. evened the score in the seventh inning with a 114 mph, 459-foot solo home run off of Mariners starter Logan Gilbert , who to that point had silenced a Toronto lineup that’s shown encouraging signs of life over the last two days.

But the Blue Jays couldn’t replicate that Wednesday, even when they loaded the bases in the ninth with a chance to walk it off. Catcher Alejandro Kirk hit a hard line drive straight at right fielder Mitch Haniger , then third baseman Ernie Clement hit a popup into shallow right field that Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco made a nice running catch on.

In the 10th inning, Cal Raleigh hit a two-run home run off the first pitch he saw from lefty Tim Mayza in his dogged pursuit to torment the Blue Jays. The Mariners catcher now has a 1.091 OPS in 15 games against the Blue Jays, with nine home runs and 16 RBIs. His nine home runs against Toronto and seven home runs at Rogers Centre are his most against any team and at any opposing ballpark.

“Maybe he’s part Canadian,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider quipped when asked about Raleigh’s success against the Blue Jays. “Tip your hat to him. He likes hitting here and he likes hitting against us.”

Coming into the season, the Blue Jays starting rotation was considered their strength, particularly because their four starters — Gausman, Bassitt, Kikuchi and Berríos — who made at least 31 starts and combined for 742 1/3 innings in 2023 were returning this year.

The only lingering question mark was how Alek Manoah would follow up his disappointing 2023 campaign, though that query still hangs in the air as the 26-year-old right-hander continues to recover from shoulder inflammation that has delayed the start to his season. His return is creeping closer, though, as he’s scheduled to make his second rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Buffalo.

As surprising as the slow start from the rotation has been, the Blue Jays aren’t worried.

“Oh, God, no. Oh, God, no,” Schneider said when asked if there was any panic about their starters. “They’re good. They’re good. And they’ve been around and they’re going to be good. They know how to take care of themselves. They know how to take care of themselves in between starts, all those things. There’s absolutely zero worry about those guys.”

Bassitt, for his part, agreed that the rotation’s track record suggests this is merely an early-season blip.

“In my opinion, it’s just more so the trust and belief (in us). Gausman has a bad one, I have two bad ones, Francis is not off to the best start,” Bassitt said. “I don’t have any problem thinking Kevin Gausman is going to be really good this year, and I have no problem thinking the same thing for Francis. And obviously myself. I would say it’s more so track record. I know how good Gausman’s going to be. I know it’s going to fix itself, but the bullpen’s had to wear it.”

With three consecutive strong starts of at least six innings this week, however, the bullpen is in much better shape than it was, and the starting rotation looks like it’s turning a corner.

“They’ve been outstanding, all three of them, really,” Schneider said. “It’s kind of how we’re built a little bit, and all three of them really answered the bell this series against a pretty good lineup.”

Soon, the bullpen is poised to get even stronger as Erik Swanson (forearm inflammation) and closer Jordan Romano (elbow inflammation) are slated to make rehab outings Thursday in Buffalo, and their returns could be getting closer. But a bullpen’s success is typically helped by the performance of the rotation. That’s why Bassitt was calling on his fellow starters to raise their level to meet the high bar they know they can reach.

“(Bassitt), Kev, José, they really want to keep raising the floor a little bit with what the expectations are,” Schneider said. “It’s something they talked about in spring training. I wasn’t surprised to hear (Bassitt) say that (he’s disappointed about the start). I feel like he’s always looking for something to get better at.”

VESSEL REVIEW | Sinichka – Electric commuter boats designed for Russia’s Moskva River

A series of three new electric monohull commuter ferries have already begun operational sailings on the Moskva River in the Russian capital Moscow.

Built by Russian shipyard Emperium, sister vessels Sinichka , Filka , and Presnya – all named after rivers in Moscow – are being operated by the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans). They are the first units of a planned fleet of 20 vessels that will serve the capital city and other nearby communities. The new ferry system will be the water transport system to be operated on the Moskva River in 16 years.

Each vessel has a welded aluminium hull, an LOA of 21 metres, a beam of 6.2 metres, a draught of only 1.4 metres, a displacement of 40 tonnes, and capacity for 80 passengers plus two crewmembers. Seating is available for 42 passengers on each ferry, and the main cabins are also fitted with USB charging ports, wifi connectivity, tables, toilets, and space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be rearranged to allow the operator to adjust the distances between the seats and to install armrests of varying widths.

An open upper deck is also accessible to passengers and is the only area on each ferry where smoking is allowed.

The ferries are all of modular construction with each ferry’s wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural elements being built as complete, separate components. This enables the ferries to be easily dismantled for transport to anywhere in Russia by rail and then quickly re-assembled within seven days.

The ferries are also ice-capable. Recently completed operational trials on the Moskva showed that the vessels can also easily navigate under mild winter conditions with broken surface ice, though year-round operations are planned for the entire fleet.

The ferries are each fitted with 500kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that supply power to two 134kW motors. This configuration can deliver a maximum speed of 11.8 knots, a cruising speed of just under 10 knots, and a range of 150 kilometres.

Emperium said the transfer of rotation of electric motors to the propeller is carried out by direct drive. As a propulsion installation, a pulling rotary propeller-steering column with double screws is used. The installation of double pulling screws, with similar power, allows an operator to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system to deliver a slightly higher speed or to reduce energy consumption. This arrangement also provides the ferries with enhanced manoeuvrability necessary for navigating in close quarters.

The batteries themselves have projected service lives of 10 to 12 years and are fitted with safety features such as built-in fire extinguishers and gas vents. Quick-disconnect features allow the batteries to be easily removed for replacement or maintenance.

Some of our readers have expressed disquiet at our publication of reviews and articles describing new vessels from Russia. We at Baird Maritime can understand and sympathise with those views. However, despite the behaviour of the country’s leaders, we believe that the maritime world needs to learn of the latest developments in vessel design and construction there.
