Sunfish Sailing Try a Sunfish HAVE FUN !!!! The sunfish is a wonderfully fun boat to sail!!!! US Sailingʼs Mantra is - Safety, Fun and Learning Safety - “You as a Safe Sailor” handout Life Vest - Most important piece of equipment. Wear it anytime you are on the water Water - bring plenty and drink plenty Stay off the very slippery ramp Always stay with the boat - no matter what. (5) whistles - go in to shore immediately Stay together on the water Tell the Instructor when you are leaving the facility or going to shore. “If in doubt, donʼt go out.” Secret to Sailing Know where the wind is. Understand the “NO GO ZONE.” A sailboat cannot sail directly into the wind. Generally, a sailboat cannot sail closer than 45 degrees to the wind. The sails of a sailboat are trimmed differently depending on the direction of the wind. Capsize Stay with the boat - no matter what. If your rudder floats away.....if your daggerboard floats away.....If your lunch floats away..... STAY WITH THE BOAT. capsize prevention tips: Keep the boat balanced Keep the daggerboard below the boom If sailing windward, let go of the line (mainsheet) to the sail if the boat feels like itʼs going to turn over. When righting a sunfish, make sure the mainsheet is free and the bow ( front of the boat is turned into the wind.) Use the daggerboard as a lever to right the boat. Body Placement - Sit facing the sail ( usually in the farthest forward position.) Make sure where you are sitting is keeping the boat FLAT. Do not let the boat lean to the right, left, forward or backward, generally. As the strength and direction of the wind changes, you will need to adjust your position " in the boat. A properly balanced boat will go faster. Steering - Boat Handling DO NOT LET GO OF THE TILLER. You must be moving to steer. The tiller turns opposite. If you point the tiller to the right, the boat turns left. If you point " the tiller to the left, the boat turns right. To tack ( turn the front/ bow of the boat through the wind) push the tiller TOWARD the " sail. Boat goes through NO GO ZONE. Duck the boom. After boat turns " center the tiller. To jibe ( turn the stern/ back of the boat through the wind) pull the tiller AWAY from the " sail. Sail immediately fills on other side. Boom comes across quickly. DUCK. " After boat turns center the tiller. To check if your tiller is centered, line it up with your daggerboard. Keep your head outside the boat. To avoid hazards, push the TILLER TOWARD THE TROUBLE. Daggerboard To sail upwind you MUST have the daggerboard down. If the daggerboard is up you cannot make progress toward a windward destination. If you can!t remember, just leave the board down except in shallow water. Later you will learn to rase it about 1/2 way up when the wind is behind you. Keep the daggerboard below the boom at all times while you are learning to sail. When coming ashore, remember to raise the board before you suddenly stop from " running aground and cause possible damage to the boat. Sail The sail is controlled with a line ( mainsheet.) Always put a stop knot in this line so that it doesn!t unrig itself. Watch your sail. If your sail flops, you stop. To trim your sail, you pull in on the line / mainsheet. Use your hands to trim the sail. NEVER put the mainsheet in your teeth! The closer you sail to the wind, the closer your sail should be in. The boom can be pulled in to the corner of the transom (back of the boat), but no closer. If the wind is behind you ( sailing a run) you can let the sail out 90 degrees. Properly trimming your boat will make the difference in your speed. Tacking - push tiller toward the sail ( land drill) You must be moving to tack. Slide back and duck the boom, while still facing forward. return to original position. Steer with tiller extension behind you. Once the boat has tacked, you can do your hand switch. When you want to sail upwind, you must tack (zig - zag) back and forth. Jibing - pull tiller away from the sail ( land drill) Make sure that the daggerboard is below the boom. Face forward when jibing. This allows you to look where you!re going. Duck the boom. Control your jibe. Pull in the line (mainsheet) before jibing. DO NOT let the boom swing " uncontrolled across the boat. In heavy air, you could capsize and / or get hit in " the head with the boom. Starting If sailing upwind, pull your sail in. If sailing downwind, let your sail out. Stopping If the water is shallow, take the board out just before turning. To slow down while going upwind, let your sail out and turn into the wind ( tiller toward the sail). To slow down while sailing downwind, pull your sail in. If you want to stop, turn the tiller toward the sail and IMMEDIATELY let the sail out. HAVE FUN !!!! The sunfish is a wonderfully fun boat to sail!!!! .

  • Modelling Radiation Exposure and Radionuclide Transfer for Non-Human Species
    Modelling Radiation Exposure and Radionuclide Transfer for Non-human Species Report of the Biota Working Group of EMRAS Theme 3 Environmental Modelling for RAdiation Safety (EMRAS) Programme FOREWORD Environmental assessment models are used for evaluating the radiological impact of actual and potential releases of radionuclides to the environment. They are essential tools for use in the regulatory control of routine discharges to the environment and also in planning measures to be taken in the event of accidental releases; they are also used for predicting the impact of releases which may occur far into the future, for example, from underground radioactive waste repositories. It is important to check, to the extent possible, the reliability of the predictions of such models by comparison with measured values in the environment or by comparing with the predictions of other models. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been organizing programmes of international model testing since the 1980s. The programmes have contributed to a general improvement in models, in transfer data and in the capabilities of modellers in Member States. The documents published by the IAEA on this subject in the last two decades demonstrate the comprehensive nature of the programmes and record the associated advances which have been made. From 2003 to 2007, the IAEA organised a programme titled “Environmental Modelling for RAdiation Safety” (EMRAS). The programme comprised three themes: Theme 1: Radioactive Release Assessment ⎯ Working Group 1: Revision of IAEA Technical Report Series No. 364 “Handbook of parameter values for the prediction of radionuclide transfer in temperate environments (TRS-364) working group; ⎯ Working Group 2: Modelling of tritium and carbon-14 transfer to biota and man working group; ⎯ Working Group 3: the Chernobyl I-131 release: model validation and assessment of the countermeasure effectiveness working group; ⎯ Working Group 4: Model validation for radionuclide transport in the aquatic system “Watershed-River” and in estuaries working group.

  • Portsmouth Number List 2016
    Portsmouth Number List 2016 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received from the PY Online website (www.pys.org.uk). Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary.

  • Sunfish Rigging and De-Rigging Procedures
    Moraine Sailing Club Community Sailing Program – Sunfish Sailboats How to Rig and Launch a Sunfish 1) Pick up equipment from the MTC Building: You need a Sail, Dagger Board and Rudder. 2) Untie the two lines wrapped around the sail: To untie the chain stitch, find the ends of the lines, loosen them and then pull on them. All of the line should fall off from the sail easily. 3) Bring a hull down to the lake: Use a dolly. If the hull is on the rack you will need 2 people to lift it down to the dolly. Also bring a mast down from the rack storage tubes. When you get the boat into the water, point the bow into the wind. 4) Put the equipment onto the boat: Gently place the sails onto the PORT (left) side of the hull - with the boom on the bottom. Try to position the brass gooseneck ring directly over the mast- hole in the hull. Put the tiller and dagger board into the cockpit. Figure 1. Place the sail on the Port (left) side of the deck, boom on the bottom, gooseneck over the mast hole. Moraine Sailing Club Community Sailing Program – Sunfish Sailboats Figure 2. Measuring the position of the halyard knot and gooseneck 5) Check the sail rigging positions: For comfortable sailing in light winds the halyard knot should be 94” from the tack and the gooseneck should be 17” from the tack. Use 100”/19” in heavy winds. Many Sunfish racers rig around 106”/15”, but at this position the boom will be very close to the deck.
