Column: Sabot No. 4460 returns home after a long hiatus

Boat builder Brian Thomas’ first sabot went on to win several sailing championships, then disappeared

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

On their first day of shop class at Point Loma High School in the mid-1960s, students were asked what they wanted to build. While most scribbled down: shelf units, tables or chests, senior Brian D. Thomas wrote: “Two sabots.”

After class his teacher warned him that he had set an extremely lofty goal. In 20 years of teaching shop, he said that no student had ever finished even one sabot in an entire year.

One month later, though, Thomas had his boat off the shop class jig and took it home to work on it.

“I built four boats that year in wood shop,” recalls Thomas, who, after serving a year as commodore of the San Diego Yacht Club, became junior staff commodore last December.

The shop teacher entered Thomas’ sabot in California State Fair’s wood-working competition in Sacramento, where it took second place. The young boat builder then went on to race and win three Senior Sabot Nationals (for ages 18 and over) in his first homemade sabot in 1966, 1967 and 1968.

His late brother, Terry , won the Junior Sabot Nationals (for age 17 and under) in the same boat, Sabot 4460, in 1967. As time floated on, the boat passed to another yacht club member, then to Mike Butler , son of former San Diego Judge Ed Butler . Mike also raced it in a junior national championship and won.

Thomas went on to build and sell 25 wooden sabots to put himself through college. He also begin to construct Fiberglass sabots. He worked with shipwright and sailor Carl Eichenlaub , who switched from building wooden to aluminum boats. After five years, Thomas started his own metal fabricating company. “I always wanted to build big boats. Turns out I never did,” he says.

Thomas eventually lost track of Sabot 4460, which had transferred to a sailor at Mission Bay Yacht Club. Unbeknownst to him, it hung unused in a Point Loma garage for about 30 years.

Then, last fall, Thomas received a call from Mission Bay Yacht Club member Greg Schibler . Would he like to be reunited with the boat that launched his career?

Schibler had purchased Sabot 4460 from Rob Hutsel , a childhood sailing friend who is president and CEO of the San Diego River Park Foundation. Over lunch one day in 2007, Schibler mentioned to Hutsel that he was looking for a sabot for his two sons to sail. Hutsel had the answer — his old sabot that had been stored in his parent’s garage for nearly three decades.

It was a no-brainer because Schibler had grown up racing at MBYC and says, “I always got beat by Brian Thomas boats. ... They were the fastest boats around, especially the wooden ones.”

After Schibler and his father stripped and re-finished the boat, Sabot 4460 acquired yet another title as the Schiblers won Mission Bay Yacht Club’s 2008 “family scramble” competition.

As Schibler’s sons moved on to other interests, he decided to find a new home for the boat now stored in his garage in Encinitas. He reached out to the yacht club’s senior sabot fleet captain, and someone suggested he contact Brian Thomas. So he did.

At first, Thomas said he simply wanted to come to Encinitas to see it — for nostalgia’s sake. Thomas later called back to say he’d had a change of heart. The sabot now lives with Thomas, a power boater these days, at the San Diego Yacht Club.

“I plan on making it cherry again,” Thomas says, “and I’ll possibly get in it if my knee replacement will let me.”

Schibler entertains a bigger vision: “It would be quite the capper if he came back and won the senior nationals in it.”

Going above and beyond: No Carlsbad City Council participants could criticize the delivery of Councilwoman Priya Bhat-Patel at their virtual meeting on Feb. 16. She joined the Zoom session wearing a hospital gown while in labor with her first child.

Council members used their comment period at the end of the session to give her their best wishes.

The baby boy, Jahan Shay Bhat-Patel , arrived at 12:53 p.m. on Feb. 17 — too late to vote.

The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
