Operation Manual OPERATION MANUAL Catharpin Blue 2002 Island Packet 420 Figure 1 - Catharpin Blue Sailing into Bequia Page 1 of 27 Figure 2 - Catharpin Blue in cruising configuration from the mast head Welcome aboard! We are happy you have chosen Catharpin Blue for your sailing vacation. Catharpin Blue is an Island Packet 420 She was built by Island Packet in Florida, bought new in 2001 in Deltaville, Va. She sailed with her owner over 31,000 nMiles, “living the dream”. During that time, Owner Sam Fowler and First Mate Marilyn Hilbers sailed to Maine, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Galapagos, Polynesia, Niue, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, Alaska and British Columbia. Throughout this adventure, Catharpin Blue was safe, sea- kindly and their home. You can see more about their adventures at www.sailblogs.com/member/catblue. Page 2 of 27 Figure 3 - Catharpin Blue Adventures The name Catharpin Blue is unique. She is named for the water in the owner’s well in Catharpin, Va. The water is really blue because it comes 6 miles through limestone from the Bull Run Mountains to the well. Locals say it is the “best drinking water in the world”. In addition, Catharpin, was thought to be a nautical term, though, at the time, locals did not know what it meant. Since then this has been confirmed. A “cat-harping” is a “knot” (see “Ashley’s Book of Knots”). It was used on “square rigged” sailboats in the 17th and 18th centuries to pull the rigging out of the way so that they could sail upwind. We actually saw some of these Figure 4 Cat-Harping Knot on the ships coming to Jamestown, Va. As well as in Bermuda. The information summarized in this manual is intended to assist all skippers, crew and guests aboard in feeling more comfortable with the basic systems and how they work. In addition to the information contained in this manual; you will find a “Island Packet” notebook aboard. This book contains information from manufacturers on various systems and items aboard Catharpin Blue. You will see this is posted as a no smoking and no pet’s vessel. Your co-operation is appreciated. Page 3 of 27 We are sure you will enjoy sailing the beautiful islands of the Pacific Northwest aboard Catharpin Blue. If you have questions about the boat or about places to visit, please do not hesitate to ask the AYC staff. Have a great sailing adventure, and again thanks for choosing Catharpin Blue Table of Contents OPERATION MANUAL

  • Pennsylvania
    Spring 1991 $1.50 Pennsylvania • The Keystone States Official Boating Magazine Viewpoint Recently we received a letter suggesting that we were being contradictory in Boat Pennsylvania. According to one reader, we suggested that boaters wear personal flota- tion devices, but that the magazine photographs don't always show their use. Obtaining photographs for a magazine can be a difficult proposition. Sometimes we stage situations and take the photographs ourselves. More often, we rely on photographs submitted by contributors. Photos that depict the general boating public often do not show people wearing PFDs simply because the incidence of wearing them is so low. If we were to say that we would only use photos that showed boaters wearing PFDs, we would have a difficult time fmding acceptable photos. Generally, we try to show people wearing PFDs in small boats in situations in which devices should obviously be worn. On large boats, people most often do not wear their PFDs. Should people wear PFDs? Statistics show that wearing a PFD can save your life. Are PFDs needed all the time? Because accidents happen when they are least expected, wearing a PFD all the time is a good idea. Practically, however, as comfortable as the newest PFDs are, they can be excruciating on a hot July day. Many boaters also want to get a little sun. We accept this and our statistics show that the chances of having an accident where a PFD would have been a factor are much lower in the summer months. Ofcourse, circumstances do exist in which wearing a PFD,even on the hottest day, is warranted.
