  • 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.

  • Tips of the Trade
    Sail Handling and Neil Pryde Custom Fittings he following are some of the special Neil Pryde fittings which every boat owner should be Tfamiliar with. Genoa Sausage Bags Neil Pryde Race and Premier Series sails are supplied with genoa sausage bags as standard. These bags make repacking easier and quicker. The bags have 2 full-length zips on top of the bag which run forward and aft from the clew to the tack. Before you attempt to put the sail in the Figure 11 bag make sure both sliders are at one end of the bag. Then pack the sail inside and slide one zip from one end to the other. Do not take it off the end of the bag. You can then throw the bag around quite freely and it will not come undone. When you wish to hoist, place the bag on the foredeck and run the zipper off at the front. The whole zip will then break open freely and the sail will be in position on the foredeck ready for use. (figure 11) Dousing Sock The dousing sock can be used with either a asymmetric spinnaker or a regular spinnaker. To hoist the sail, attach the halyard to the head ring on the sail and attach the tack downhaul line to the tack ring. It should then be passed through a turning block on the deck near the bow, and then to a cleat or winch somewhere near the cockpit. The tack will initially fly approximately five feet above the deck, so allow this amount of slack in the line.

  • Origin and Rebirth of “BABE”, an S&S 30 Daysailer
    Origin and Rebirth of “BABE”, an S&S 30 Daysailer Excerpts by Danielle Abbott, S&S Naval Architect and Glenn Walters, Managing Partner, Bluenose Yachts Before his death at age 100, the co-founder of Sparkman & Stephens chose a 1935 sloop—one of the smallest of S&S’s many ocean racer/cruiser designs—as the yacht he most wanted to update. In 1935 Olin Stephens, the design half of a Manhattan design-and brokerage firm started by Stephens and yacht broker Drake Sparkman six years earlier, drew up plans for a custom 30' 6" (9.3m) ocean racer for the Miami–Nassau and St. Petersburg–Havana races. Named Babe, she was a forward-thinking boat for the time, with short overhangs and light displacement, just barely meeting the requirements of the Southern Ocean Racing Conference. Accommodations were secondary: a simple galley, portable toilet between berths, and a single pipe berth forward. Her large sail plan had a high- aspect ratio for that period, and the boomkin made an extra-long boom possible without a lengthy stern overhang. Listed by S&S as Design No. 97, Babe embodied trends that would later drive modern cruising and racing yachts. Her length overall was the minimum allowed for the ocean races in which she was to participate, making her an agile and responsive racer. To compensate for the lower stability of a small boat, the beam was made “almost one-third of her waterline length,” wrote Stephens (in his book Lines, mentioned below) “more than most larger boats” of the pre-WWII era.

  • SPARS and STANDING RIGGING.' § L
    Plate No. 20. CHAPTER III. SPARS AND STANDING RIGGING.' § l. MASTS. Lower masts in modern ships are usually QUilt up of steel plates stiffened in various ways by steel shapes. (Plate 20.) Built-up masts of wood are no longer used, although lower masts made of single pine sticks are· not uncommon in sailing ships of moderate size. Topmasts and topgallant masts are still made of wood, usually of pine. The details of masts are shown in Plates. 20 and 21. .The mast rests on a step, placed as low .as possible; usually on the keelson. At the lower e·nd is ·a tenon fitting·· into a m o.r ti s e at the step. Where the mast passes through the successive decks, timbers are built in from beam to beam, form­ ing p artn e r s ; the space between these and the mast being filled by tightly-fitting wedges. The masthead is smaller than the body of the mast, and at the shoulder, called the h o u n d s , where the reduction in size is made, heavy knees or b ibb s , are bolted on, widening . the shoulder and forming a secure support for the t res t I e ­ trees ; stout fore and aft pieces which, in their turn, support the c r o s s - t r e e s , the t o p , the t o p m a s t , and the eyes of the lower rigging. The cross-trees are athwartship pieces crossing the trestle-trees forward and abaft the masthead, and forming the principal pa·rt of the framing of the to p.

  • H.M.S Victory 1805
    H.M.S VICTORY 1805 Exact scale model of the 100-Gun British Ship of the Line. This, the fifth ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name Victory, had three major battle honours. The first being the Battle of Ushant 1781, the second, the Battle of St. Vincent 1797 and the third, for which she is most famed, the Battle of Trafalgar 1805. By the end of the Battle of Trafalgar, there was not a mast, spar, shroud or sail on board Victory that had not been severely damaged, lost or destroyed in the conflict.

Slice the dowel (running with the grain), from a round at the start point of the taper to a square at the end of the taper. 2. Repeat this process so that the dowel runs from round at the start of the taper to an eight sided polygon at the end of the taper. 3. Repeat step two as desired so that the dowel runs from a round at the start of the taper to a 16 or 32 sided polygon at the end, of a diameter marginally more than that required.

  • Sailboat Rigging Checklist
    Sailboat Rigging Checklist Pre purchase and seasonal checks • P- Are chain plates aligned with the turnbuckles, stays, and shrouds? Keep in mind sometimes bends are planned. • S- Are there any signs of leaking around chain plates? * • S- Are masthead mounts for wind indicators and radio antennas secure? • S- If the mast is stepped on deck, is it supported properly below? Solid with no cracks? * • S- Are there any signs of galvanic corrosion at the base of the mast or where dissimilar metal fittings (winches, cleats, etc.) are attached to the mast? (On a painted aluminum mast, corrosion is indicated by bubbles around the fittings.
