Boating Safety Education Required in North Carolina N.C PENINSULA YACHT CLUB Established 1996 § Lake Norman BOATING AND SAILING GUIDE VOLUME II 2015 35° 28.08’ N - 80° 56.26’ W INTRODUCTION Volume I of PYC’s Recreational Boating Information Guide was launched at the 2013 Commodore’s Ball. I missed the mark of Volume II being ready for distribution at the 2014 Fleet Commissioning due to an aorta dissection running interference with my regularly scheduled life. So we pick up where we left off. Volume II expands on some of the previous Volume topics, explains some with a different approach and introduces new beacons of information. It is a distinguished honor to be a component of The Peninsula Yacht Club’s Fleet Committee, to chair the Boating Safety and Education responsibilities and to be handed the reins of collecting, compiling, editing, sequencing and sharing boating information, personal experiences and heighten your awareness about types of boating that may not be germane to your life on the water. I’ve always been passionate about boating, boating safety and boating knowledge. I’m one of those whose personal compass points to the water. The table of contents is your dashboard of information. Each section is an instrument. Some will move your needle, some won’t. The Peninsula Yacht Club recognizes their role in the community and the sport and as a leader of boating, sailing and related experiences. This book is to broaden the club’s footprint as that leader and support awareness and understanding being unparalleled in importance. I share my boating interest and this guide with those who share a calling to spend more time on the water in any form of watercraft and who appreciate listening to the wisdom of the water. Thank you to Barbara, who always made sure we had as vase of fresh flowers in the cockpit. David M.

PYC began enrolling members in February of 1995, with area resid ents and boating enthusiasts being anxious to be a part of Lake Norman’s newest tradition. Ground breaking for the new Clubhouse was in November of that year, followed by a grand opening celebration in June of 1996. At the grand opening we consisted of app roximately 540 members and has since grown to over 1,000. PYC is the largest inland lake in the Carolinas. 2016 will mark PYC’s 20 th year anniversary. East West Partners Club Management The Peninsula Yacht club is managed by East West Partners Club Manage ment Company.

Outside of his professional career, he enjoys spending time with his wife Tracy and .three boys Seth, Tate and Wyatt, in Mooresville, N.C. Jamie Bostian, Executive Chef Jamie was previously the Club’s Sous Chef from 2008-2013. He has shown his strength and capacities in the kitchen and has been a great example of leadership. Jamie recognized his passion for cooking at the early age of 12. In high school he realized that he wanted to become a chef. He pursued his education at Johnson & Wales University in both Charleston and Charlotte, where he obtained his BS in Food Service Management. He has worked at The Point Lake and Golf Club, now known as Trump National, and also at Solace Restaurant where he was the Lead Line Chef. Outside of work, he enjoys cooking for his family!

His time at PYC has been extremely enjoyable with a lot exciting changes. He has spent many years absorbing vital information about boating, that he feels he has benefited from as well as the members. Harry is a Charlotte native, born and raised just outside of Mint Hill. He spent a short time in Wilmington, NC, but lucky for him moving back to Charlotte gave him the opportunity to meet his wife. At age 25 he and his wife were married and since have been blessed with three amazing children, two boys and a girl. He has often joked that his wife was his second true love, his first being the water. Harry grew up with a passion for the water and an insatiable interest for boats. The actuality of being able to make a living at what he has such a great interest in, is such a blessing. His hobbies as a teenager were surfing, windsurfing, and really anything to do with water. Even still as an adult he finds that he is driven to the water. In December of 2003, he received a diploma for the completion of the U.S.

    HMAS WELCOME ARMED SLOOP WELCOME CREW TRAINING MANUAL Discovery Center ~ Great Lakes 13268 S. West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

  • Jackline Update
    A P R I L 2 0 2 1 JACKLINE INSURANCE PROGRAM 2021 NEWS & UPDATES FEAR NO HORIZON - INSURANCE FOR GLOBAL CRUISERS & LIVING ABOARD The Jackline Insurance Program by Gowrie Group is a comprehensive insurance program designed to protect yachts and their owners cruising throughout the world. Our marine insurance experts understand the cruising lifestyle, and work with our clients to create customized insurance solutions to align with cruising plans and coverage needs. The Jackline Program includes key protection important to cruisers, such as world-wide navigation, approval for living aboard with a crew of two, personal property coverage, mechanical breakdown, ice damage, pollution liability, reef damage liability, loss of use, and more. The program is endorsed by Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA), underwritten by Markel Insurance, and managed by Gowrie Group, a Division of Risk Strategies. CONTENTS INSURANCE MARKET - UPDATE FOR CRUISERS The insurance marketplace has experienced unprecedented forces and undergone significant changes in the past few years. 2020 presented not only a global pandemic, but also delivered a Fear No Horizon continuation of the multi-year trend of extremely active, destructive, and costly Atlantic Hurricane Seasons. Many insurance companies have reacted to the multi-year catastrophic losses, by reevaluating their rates and in some cases, exiting the marine insurance market. These changes Insurance Market Update have left thousands of boat owners with a policy scheduled for non-renewal, and limited options for how to secure new coverage. Did You Know? The Jackline Insurance Program, underwritten by Markel and managed by Gowrie Group, is proud to confirm that we are committed to our cruising clients, and we have no plans to exit from the marine insurance market.

  • The Poor Man's Ljungström
    The poor man’s Ljungström rig (.. or how a simplified Ljungström rig can be a good alternative on a small boat...) ..by Arne Kverneland... ver. 20110722 Fredrik Ljungström: Once upon a time there lived an extraordinary man in Sweden, named Fredrik Ljungström (1875 – 1964). Like his father and brothers he turned out to be an inventor, even greater than the others. Among his over 200patents (some shared with others) the most lucrative were probably efficient steam turbines to drive electric generators and locomotives (1920) and even more important, the rotating heat regenerator which cut the coal consumption on the steam engines with over 30% (around 1930). Going through the list of patents, it is clear that he must have been a real multi-genius (.. for more info, just google Fredrik Ljungström...). The Ljungström rig – the original: Being also a keen sailor, in 1935 Mr. Ljungström came up with another brilliant idea; the Ljungström rig (Lj-rig). He had learned how dangerous it could be to handle sail on the foredeck of a small boat and his solution was radical: The diagram above of a Ljungström rig is copied from the book “RACING, CRUISING and DESIGN by Uffa Fox. (ISBN 0-907069-15-0 in UK, 0-87742-213-3 in USA). Great reading! This is a one-sail rig set on a freestanding wooden mast (.. in later designs the aft stay was omitted). The luff boltrope of the doubled sail went in a track in the mast and just as today’s roller genoas it was hoisted in spring and lowered at the end of the season.

  • Boat Review: Elliott 50, Canting Keel
    Boat review: Elliott 50, canting keel Out on the Ran Tan Going out on the Ran Tan is easy; like any racing yacht you step on to the wide, open transom and into the cockpit.

  • Performance of Wing Sail with Multi Element by Two-Dimensional Wind
    Bulletin of the JSME Vol.10, No.2, 2015 Journal of Fluid Science and Technology Performance of wing sail with multi element by two- dimensional wind tunnel investigations Hiroyuki FURUKAWA*, Alexander W. BLAKELEY **, Richard G.J. FLAY ** and Peter J. RICHARDS ** * Department of Mechanical Engineering, Meijo University 1-501 Shiogamaguchi, Tenpaku-ku, Nagoya 468-8502, Japan E-mail: [email protected] **Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Auckland 314-390 Khyber Pass Road, Auckland, New Zealand Received 30 April 2015 Abstract Following the 33rd America's Cup which featured a trimaran versus a catamaran, and the recent 34th America's Cup in 2013 featuring AC72 catamarans with multi-element wing sail yachts sailing at unprecedented speeds, interest in wing sail technology has increased substantially. Unfortunately there is currently very little open peer- reviewed literature available witha focus on multi-element wing design for yachts. The limited available literature focuses primarily on the structures of wings and their control, rather than on the aerodynamic design. While there is substantial available literature on the aerodynamic properties of aircraft wings, the differences in the flow domains between aeroplanes and yachts is significant. A yacht sail will operate in a Reynolds number range of 0.2 to 8 million while aircraft operate regularly in excess of 10 million. Furthermore, yachts operate in the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer and require high maximum lift coefficients at many apparent wind angles, and minimising drag is not so critical. This paper reviews the literature onwing sail design for high performance yachts and discusses the results of wind tunnel testing at the Yacht Research Unit at the University of Auckland.

  • The New York Sloop
    The New York Sloop The most important of the sloop-rigged small-boat types used in the fisheries was the New York sloop, which had a style of hull and rig that influenced the design of both yachts and work-boats for over thirty years. The New York boats were developed sometime in the 1830's, when the centerboard had been accepted. The boats were built all about New York Bay, particularly on the Jersey shore. The model spread rapidly, and, by the end of the Civil War, the shoal centerboard sloop of the New York style had appeared all along the shores of western Long Island Sound, in northern New Jersey, and from thence southward into Delaware and Chesapeake waters. In the postwar growth of the southern fisheries, during the 1870's and 80's, this class of sloop was adopted all along the coasts of the South Atlantic states and in the Gulf of Mexico; finally, the boats appeared at San Francisco. The model did not become very popular, however, east of Cape Cod. The New York sloop was a distinctive boat—a wide, shoal centerboarder with a rather wide, square stern and a good deal of dead rise, the midsection being a wide, shallow V with a high bilge. The working sloops usually had a rather hard bilge; but in some it was very slack, and a strongly flaring side was used. Originally, the ends were plumb, and the stem often showed a slight tumble home at the cutwater. V-sterns and short overhanging counters were gradually introduced in the 1850's, particularly in the boats over 25 feet in length on deck.

  • Study Plans (Both Are Covered Here for Simplicity)
    Your ‘Slingshot 16’ and ‘Slingshot 19’ Trimaran Free Study Plans (Both are Covered Here For Simplicity) …from Designer / Builder / Sometimes Sailor Frank Smoot (AKA ‘Trimaran Frank’) About The Boats: The ‘Slingshot 16’ is a 1-2 seater trimaran, and the ‘Slingshot 19’ is a 2-3 seater trimaran. Both boats been developed to sail in perfect balance. With the 2-seater setup, but boat can remain in ideal helm balance whether soloing or carrying a passenger, thanks to a unique sliding seat arrangement. You can also rig them both with several very different kinds of sail rigs, and with either folding or fixed amas. NOTE: The Slingshot 19 plans include full details to build both the folding akas and 19’ amas. NOTE: The basic Slingshot 16 plans include construction details for the standard 14’ cruising amas and one-piece (non-folding) akas. Supplementary plans are also available that include full construction details for the larger 16’ performance amas and also for folding akas for the Slingshot 16. NOTE: Plans for the 2-seater version of the Slingshot 16 are not yet available, but are in the works. About the speed of these two trimarans: You may not want to go 14 mph, but it’s nice to know your boat can safely do that. (It could probably do more, but somehow that seems fast enough for me.) You can choose among 5 different sail rigs, either stayed or freestanding (unstayed). And you can initially build the Slingshot 19 with fixed akas, then later convert to folding akas (for easy trailering) if you wish.
