  • Cape Cod Catboat
    Cape Cod Catboat Instructions: Follow these instructions carefully and step by step. The rigging lines of the boat could tangle easily so do not undo the lines until instructed. 1. Unwrap the hull and stand. Place the hull into the stand with the hull facing forward to your right. Keep the starboard side of the boat facing you in order to follow the instructions and to compare with the diagrams. 2. Study brass eye “A” and the cleats on the boat. There are 7 cleats on this model but we will only be using 3-7. They each have a fixed position that corresponds to different rigging lines and sail sheets of the boat. See diagram (1). 3. Unwrap the packing of the mast; find brass eyes G1, G2, G3, G4, & G5 on the mast. The brass eyes must face towards the stern of the boat. Insert the mast into the mast step on the deck. 4. Unpack the sail. You may want to press the sail with an iron to get out any wrinkles. Find the headstay line on the front top portion of the mast. Attach the line to eye A on the bow. See diagram (1). 5. Put the gaff jaw at the end of gaff pole to brass eye M on the mast. Then find a pin at the end of the boom, insert the pin to a brass hole about 1 inch up the mast from the deck. Find a block with hook on the topping lift line. Attach the hook of the line to eye G1, then lead the line down the mast and through an eye at the bottom of the mast, starboard side, then fix the end of the line to cleat 4 on the cockpit bulkhead.

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.

  • Marshall Sandpiper Class Association Rules
    MARSHALL SANDPIPER CLASS ASSOCIATION RULES Initiated: December 18, 2012 Amended: April 1, 2014 1. INTRODUCTION It is the desire of these rules to “even the playing field” by identifying the easily measured major elements that contribute to boat speed, and limit them in such a way that each boat coming to the starting line, if adequately prepared, has a fair chance of winning. These “Rules” are in no way an attempt to make all catboats “absolutely identical”, an impossible task requiring extensive and burdensome restrictions that would be un-enforceable. These rules will be constantly monitored and updated as necessary to continue to provide a framework that allows both the veteran and the novice skipper a fair chance and satisfying experience sailing the Sandpiper in competition. 2. SAFETY All Sandpiper catboats shall comply with the following safety requirements: US SAILING prescribes that every boat shall carry life-saving equipment conforming to government regulations that apply in the racing area. All life vests shall be in good repair and shall be an appropriate size for each crew member. All Federal safety and registration requirements must be met before each catboat is allowed to participate in any Sandpiper event. Additionally all state safety and registration requirements must be met for the state in which the Sandpiper participates in the most class racing and events, with appropriate display of numbers and/or stickers if required. A functioning whistle or air horn shall be on-board. A tow-line at least 30 feet in length with a diameter of at least 3/8” shall be on-board.

CLEARWATER is a wooden sailboat 106 feet (32.3 meters) long, with one mast 108 feet (32.9 meters) tall. One hundred and fifty years ago such boats were a common sight on the Hudson and Long Island Sound; now CLEARWATER is the only full-sized Hudson River Sloop in existence. You will help to sail her: raising the mainsail and taking a turn at her tiller. CLEARWATER is more than just a big sailboat, however. Her crew teaches people about the ecology of the River and the Harbor, and about problems created there when ecological relationships are ignored.
