This guide is intended to help better understand the key construction elements, usage and installation of your sail. If you have any questions after reading this document and before installing your sail, please contact your North Sails representative. It is best to have two people installing the sail which can be accomplished in less than one hour. Your boat needs facing directly into the wind and ideally the wind speed should be less than 8 knots.

  • Masts & Rigging
    Masts & Rigging By Ralf Morgan Standing Rigging Careful inspection and preparation of the spars and rigging is essential prior to any voyage offshore. Embarking on the Pacific Cup is an undertaking that is likely to be the equivalent of many years of use for the average boat. To put this into perspective, sailing the Pacific Cup is the equivalent distance as sailing from the Blackhaller Buoy to the Blossom Rock Buoy 679.8 times. Many Bay sailors have not done that in a lifetime. Now, if you decide you are going to sail back too……. Many aspects of inspection and preparation are common to all sailboat rigs regardless of construction or type. If the owner/skipper has not taken the opportunity to do a careful inspection of the rig in the past three years, it makes a lot of sense to pull the rig and go over it very carefully. There are areas of the rig that can really only be inspected and serviced when it is not under tension. There are other items that are just easier to do on the ground. While the rig is down, become intimately familiar with it. Take some digital photos of key components. Remember that two in the morning during a driving squall, is not the optimal time to gain familiarity with your rig! 1) Starting at the bottom and working up: the first thing to inspect is the actual mast base. This includes both the mast tube and the mast step. On aluminum spars you should be most concerned about corrosion and electrolysis.

  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

  • Forestay Fittings and Halyard Routing Cutter Stay on Masthead Rigs
    Forestay fittings and halyard routing Cutter stay on masthead rigs On fractional rigs the forestay fitting is either fitted directly on to the mast or combined with the halyard box (Seldén combi boxes). The forestay is often attached to the fitting with a toggle. The stainless strap of the combi box wraps around the whole box and serves as a reinforcement that takes up the loads from the forestay. It also locks the sheave axles in the right position. The combi box penetrates deep inside the mast, allowing the spinnaker halyard to run freely past the genoa halyard. This solution substantially increases the durability and service life of the halyards. See illustration on page 21. Art. No. 505-067-10. Art. No. 505-018-03.

With small crews, it will most difficult and demanding become necessary for everyone to know and tasks you will have in working work all of the lines anywhere on the ship. In with this program. any event, particularly if watches are being set, it becomes imperative that everyone have a good understanding of all lines and maneuvers the ship may be asked to perform. Safety Sailing the brigantines safely is our primary goal and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute has an enviable safety record. We should stress, however, that these ships are NOT rides at Disneyland. These are large and powerful sailing vessels and you can be injured, or even killed, if proper procedures are not followed in a safe, orderly, and controlled fashion. As a crewmember you have as much responsibility for the safe running of these vessels as any member of the crew, including the ship’s officers. 1. When laying aloft, crewmembers should always climb and descend on the weather side of the shrouds and the bowsprit.
