'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum. -
On the Great Trimaran-Catamaran Debate
On the Great Trimaran-Catamaran Debate Lawrence J. Doctors, Member, School of MechanicnJ and Manufacturing Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia Abdmct In the cumwtt work, a aydewaatic investigation into a variety of monohulls and mul- tihulls is carried out with an emphasis on finding optimal forms. Vessels with up to six identical subhulls are taken into consideration and a large range of lengths is studied. hT- thermore, sidehuli trimaran configurations are included in the investigation. There are two main purposes to this investigation. Firstly, one is interested in mini- mizing the wave resistance, becawe this is closely related to the wave generation and is of critical importance to the operation of river ferries. Secondly, it is also important to min- imize the total resistance, in order to reduce fuei costs and to permit long-range trips for ocean-going vessels. The theoretical predictions show that increasing the length beyond that normally accepted is beneficial in reducing both the wave Resistance and often the total resistance. I. the goal is to minimize wave resistance and if the length is constrained, the calculations also demon- strate that trimarans are superior to catamarans, which are in turn superior to monohulls. On the other hand, if the goal is to minimize the total resistance, then all the muh!ihulis (~m catamarans to hezamarans) are inferior to monohulls, except possibly at low speeds which are not of interest in thw study. Similarly, sidehull trimarans are shown to be inferior to catamarans except perhaps if rather great lengths are permitted. -

I Feel the Need…
44 AUSTRALIAN SAILING AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2017 MYSAILING.COM.AU 45 SPORTSBOATS BETH MORLEY SPORTSAILINGPHOTOGRAPHY.COM SPORTS BOATS I FEEL THE NEED… ANDREW YORK LOOKS AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPORTSBOATS AND HOW THEY NEED TO BE SAILED IT was in the early years of this century that sports boats broke away from their trailer-sailer forebears. A more competitive group of owners started adding sail area and stripping out accommodation from their boats. Most people’s perception of a sports boat is a trailerable sailing boat with masses of sail area. While this was the genesis of sports boats there has been a gradual change. It became evident that sports boats needed to form their own separate group. ASBA was founded in 2007 by Cameron Rae, Mark Roberts and Richard Parkes. They wanted a more scientific handicapping system than had been employed in the past. In 2008 the Sportsboat Measurement System (SMS) was put in place by a body independent to ASBA. It was created by the same people who formulated the Australian Measurement System (AMS) in 1997. Sports boat racing has flourished across Australia under the ASBA banner, with the SMS rule encouraging high performance designs without the penalties that existed under other systems. Large asymmetrical spinnakers, in particular, are not penalised as harshly in the rating as the working sail area is, so that is why you see the sports boats with clouds of sails downwind. In Australia sports boats are defined as being between 5.8m and 8.5m in length and no more than 3.5m wide including hiking racks. -
CAT CRAZY, TRI FI and Other Multihull Comparisons by Jim Brown
CAT CRAZY, TRI FI And Other Multihull Comparisons By Jim Brown “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, quite so much worth doing as simply messing about in…” Multihulls! That paraphrased quote is pilfered for the most part from Ratty, the revered rodent in Kenneth Grahame’s venerated tale “The Wind in the Willows.” Of course, Grahame and Ratty said it of ordinary boats, and neither would have, even could have, said it of multihulls. But if Brown had been the author instead of Grahame, his character Ratty might have said something like, “There is nothing, absolutely nothing quite so creative as screwing around with multihulls.” By “screwing around,” Ratty would have spoken literally, meaning to conceive, gestate, whelp, wean and release upon the Earth’s fluid interface one’s very own flesh and blood multihulls. And that’, impatient reader, is what this appendix is about, so like most appendices reading it is strictly optional. In that you are reading on, please be prepared for some sacrilege. Suggesting there is something divine about boat design and construction I will try to trace multihull origins by expanding on the theorem expressed by my late friend Walt Glaser who said (in Chapter 1 of my memoir, “Among the Multihulls,”), “A man builds a boat to make up for the fact that he can’t build a baby… What else can a guy produce with his own body that so closely simulates a living thing?” It took me many years of both messing about in and screwing around with boats to apprehend this aspect of watercraft, and I admit that it still takes quite a stretch for me to accept the notion. -
Fitting the Unstayed Mast Rig To
ITTING THE UNSTAYED MAST RIG TO YOUR BOAT SOME POPULAR QUESTIONS ANSWERED: - . Will it suit any boat of any hull shape? - Yes, and will particularly aid shallow draft hulls of low ballast ratio as the flexibility of the mast reduces heeling in all conditions. 2. Can it be fitted to multihulls? - Yes, Trimaran installations are similar to monohulls. Catamarans can either have modified bridge decks to obtain sufficient bury of mast or fit a smaller mast in each hull. 3. Can I use my existing stayed rig mast?- No, with the exception of some solid timber Gaff rig masts. 4. Does the mast have to be keel stepped? - Preferably, but it can be fitted in a deck tabernacle. 5. Where is the mast stepped? - Approximately 2 to 4 feet forward of a stayed mast postion. 6. Does it have to be near a bulkhead? - No, as the load transmitted to the deck is not enormous. 7. What structural modifications will I have to make to my boat? - Probably increase the deck strength at the mast by adding:- - for GRP boats more layup of C.S. matt which will be hidden by the head lining under the deck. - for steel, alloy, ferrocement, timber boats, add a deck beam. The mast step only needs to be firmly secured to the keel and no extra reinforcement is necessary to be the boat's keel. - for sheeting to the pushpit, possibly, add a bracing strut across the existing tube, such as a sheet track. 8. How many sails and of what area should be used? - As a general rule:- For boats up to 30 ft., one sail is more ideal. -

Überreicht vom Verfasser. Ostasiatische Decapoden. V. Die Oxyrhynehen und Schlussteil. (Geographische Übersicht der Decapoden Japans.) Von Heinrich Balss, München. (Mit 1 Tafel und 2 Textfiguren.) Abdruck aus dem Archiv für Naturgeschichte44. Herausgegeben von Embrik Strand ord. Professor der Zoologie und Direktor des Systematisch-Zoologischen Instituts der Universität Riga «0. Jahrgang 1924 Abteilung A 5. Heft Ausgegeben im September 1924. NICOLAI SC HE VERLAGS -BUCHHANDLUNG R. STRICKER Berlin. Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Lokomotion der Arachniden. 19 Nachtrag während der Korrektur. Durch die Liebenswürdigkeit des Herrn Dr. Penther erhielt ich zwei Exemplare von Eurypelma rubropilosa Auss. aus der Sammlung des naturhistorischen Museums zu Wien. Herr Dr. E. Hesse (Berlin), überließ mir gütigst ein Exemplar von Pterinochilus murinus Pocock. So konnte ich feststellen, daß die Gelenke tetrapneumoner Spinnen in allen wesentlichen Teilen mit denen der Dipneumones übereinstimmen. Die Coxen bilden mit dem Rumpfe ein unechtes Gelenk. Sie inserieren mit einer schmalen, ringförmigen Gelenkhaut, die nirgends durch einen Kondylus unterbrochen ist. Die Rumpfgelenke der Agaleniden Tegenaria und Coelotes sind ganz ähnlich gebaut. Die Coxa hat zwar eine pfannenartige Bildung, aber das Sternum trägt keinen Vorsprung, der den Gelenkkopf dazu bilden könnte. Bei Trochosa terricola Thor., Pirata piscatorius (Clerck) und Lycosa tarsalis Thor, fand ich ähnliche Verhältnisse, nur war die Pfanlie viel schärfer ausgeprägt. Im Gegen- satz dazu besitzen Clubiona pallidula Clerck und Cl. caerulescens L. Koch am Sternum spitze Vorsprünge, die in die Pfanne der Coxa eingreifen. Dasselbe ist bei den Dysderiden Harpactes lepidus C. L. Koch und Segestria senoculata Lin. der Fall. Am stärksten fand ich dies Gelenk bei Dysdera ausgeprägt. Ich werde dies alles in einem besonderen Aufsatze mit Abbildungen klarlegen. -
FISHERS – the START and FIRST TEN YEARS and Beyond June 2014
FISHERS – THE START AND FIRST TEN YEARS and Beyond June 2014 My name is David Skellon. I started the FISHER business as a hobby in 1969, when I was a young Airline Pilot for BOAC (now British Airways). My UK home was Hamble on the South Coast close to Southampton, and my then wife Jo and I lived in a house called FAIRWAYS overlooking the marina. In 1967 I had bought a lovely old West Country fishing boat from a friend of mine: an original 1898 built Looe Lugger named “GUIDE ME”. In those days of long haul Airline flying the BOAC work pattern was a civilized round the World type trip, usually 3 – 4 weeks away, then 3 – 4 weeks at home. So I had plenty of spare time to work on this old 34ft lugger which had a long with a straight stem, straight keel and a very heavy displacement. I finished the conversion into a yacht with cabins, toilet, shower and wheelhouse, painted in the traditional colours: dark green hull, black bulwarks, red strake, grey superstructure. The original rig was a loose footed gaff sloop, which I changed to Ketch – brown sails! When finished, Jo and I, now with young baby Katherine, started cruising the Solent, South Coast, France and the West Country. Everywhere we went fellow Yachtsmen greeted us with great enthusiasm, like owning a vintage car. Time and again came the remark “what a lovely old ship, if only there was a modern fiberglass version”. I had already set up a small company – David Skellon Yachts Ltd – trading as FAIRWAYS MARINE, based in the annex to our house. -
