Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new RS Tera and thank you for choosing an RS product. We are confident that you will have many hours of great sailing and racing in this truly excellent design. The RS Tera is an exciting boat to sail and offers fantastic performance. This manual has been compiled to help you to gain the maximum enjoyment from your RS Tera, in a safe manner. It contains details of the craft, the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems, and information on its safe operation and maintenance. Please read this manual carefully and be sure that you understand its contents before using your RS Tera. This manual will not instruct you in boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first boat, or if you are changing to a type of craft that you are not familiar with, for your own safety and comfort, please ensure that you have adequate experience before assuming command of the craft. If you are unsure, RS, your RS dealer, or your national sailing federation – for example, the Royal Yachting Association – will be able to advise you of a local sailing school, or a competent instructor. Please keep this manual in a secure place and hand it over to the new owner if you sell the boat.

Comissioning 4 3.1 - Preparation Your RS Tera comes complete with all the components necessary to take the boat sailing. DO NOT use a knife or other sharp object to cut through packaging containing parts – you may damage the contents! Whilst your RS Tera has been carefully prepared, it is important that new owners should check that shackles and knots are tight. This is especially important when the boat is new, as travelling can loosen seemingly tight fittings and knots. It is also important to check such items prior to sailing regularly 3.2 - Unpacking Having unpacked your RS Tera, you should check that you have all of the items listed before throwing away any of the packing, as there may be some small items still wrapped. 3.3 - Pack Contents Quantity hull 1 daggerboard 1 rudder 1 Pintle sleeves 2 tiller extension 1 bottom mast section 1 top mast section 1 5 3.3 - Pack Contents Quantity mainsail 1 battens 3 downhaul 1 kicker 1 kicking strap boom tie 1 kicking strap mast tie 1 mainsheet 1 mainsheet traveller 1 block boom pad 1 rope handles and plastic tubes 2 plastic bobble 6 mainsheet rear strop 1 mast stump 1 toestrap 1 toestrap elastic 1 bung and elastic 1 6 3.4 - Adding the Toestraps a) Locate the toestrap in the customer pack. FWD AFT b) Remove one screw the front toestrap fitting. This will allow you to rotate the fitting 90˚. c) Slide the webbing loop at the front end of the toestrap over the fitting, rotate it back into place and replace the screw. 7 3.4 - Adding the Toestraps a) Fit the webbing loop at the aft end of the toestrap through the aft toestrap fitting and back through the buckle as shown. 3.5 - Adding the Toestrap Elastic a) Add the toestrap elastic to the aft end of the toestrap as shown. 8 3.6 - Adding the Rope Handles a) Locate the 2 x rear rope handles and 2 x plastic tubes in the customer pack. b) Thread the rope part through the plastic tubing. c) Pass both ends of the rope down through the holes in the gunwhale near the transom. c) Tie knot #3 in the tails beneath the gunwhale. 9 3.7 - Adding the Rear Strop a) Locate the rear strop and mainsheet traveller block in the customer pack. b) Thread the rope through the smaller block, c) Tie knot #3 in the tails. then pass the two ends down through the aft most holes in the transom (this shares a hole with the rope handles you added in step 3.6). 3.8 - Adding the Bung a) Add the bung. The elastic ties onto the cross shaped plastic fitting below the front end of the toestrap. 10 3.9 - Adding the Righting Lines a) Locate the 2 x righting lines and 4 x plastic bobbles in the customer pack. b) Pass the two ends of the righting line down through the holes in the gunwhale, add a plastic bobble on each end and tie knot #3 in the tail. b) Repeat on the other side of the boat. 3.10 - Adding the Painter a) Tie knot #3 in one end of the painter, then thread the other end up through the hole in the bow from below. 11 3.11 - Rigging the mast a) Add the mast stump to the foot of the mast. b) Locate the mast top and bottom sections. There is a pin through the bottom section which sets the height of the mast. If you are sailing with a Pro mainsail, insert the pin in the upper hole of the mast bottom section. If you are sailing with a Sport mainsail, insert pin in the lower hole. Pro mainsail Sport mainsail c) Join the mast by inserting the mast top section into the mast lower section. Push the mast top section in until it hits the pin. d) Slide the front sleeve of the sail over the mast until the mast top reaches the top of the sail. 12 3.11 - Rigging the mast e) Put the battens into the sail Battens are inserted with the curved end first, this engages against elastic in the pocket. Push the batten into the pocket until it goes under the flap on the leech. You will need to overcome the resistance of the elastic. To remove, push against the elastic until the batten will come out of the flap then remove. 3.12 - Stepping the mast BEFORE PICKING UP THE MAST, CHECK THAT YOU ARE NOT IN THE VICINITY OF OVERHEAD POWER CABLES e) Lift the mast and sail over the mast plate on the deck. With the mast upright, lower the end through the mast plate ensuring that the retaining key is in line with the slot in the mast plate. When the mast is fully in, rotate it through 180 degrees so that the key is under the back of the plate. Top Tip If the wind is blowing there will be a lot of pressure on the top of the mast making it wave around. Consider finding somebody to help if you feel that you will struggle, especially with the Pro sail. 13 3.13 - Rigging the Boom a) Locate the 2 x 30mm vang blocks, vang bottom

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).

  • Portsmouth Number List 2019
    Portsmouth Number List 2019 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 via PY Online. 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.

  • Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series
    Neil Pryde Sails International 1681 Barnum Avenue Stratford, CT 06614 203-375-2626 [email protected] INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsails we produce for Beneteau USA and the Oceanis Line of boats. In sailing the boats we can offer these general ideas and observations that will apply to the 311’s through to the newest B49. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. MAINSAIL TRIM: The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsail, as the concepts are the same. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. Upwind 1. Upwind in up to about 8 knots true wind the traveler can be brought to weather of centerline. This ensures that the boom will be close centerline and the leech of the sail in a powerful upwind mode. 2. The outhaul should be eased 2” / 50mm at the stopper, easing the foot of the mainsail away from the boom about 8”/200mm 3. Mainsheet tension should be tight enough to have the uppermost tell tail on the leech streaming aft about 50% of the time in the 7- 12 true wind range. For those with furling mainsails the action of furling and unfurling the sail can play havoc with keeping the telltales on the sail and you may need to replace them from time to time. Mainsail outhaul eased for light air upwind trim You will find that the upper tell tail will stall and fold over to the weather side of the sail about 50% of the time in 7-12 knots.

The following features are built into this headsail: • The genoa sheets in front of the spreaders and shrouds for optimal sheeting angle and upwind performance • The size is optimized to sheet correctly to the factory track when fully deployed and when reefed. • Reef ‘buffer’ patches are fitted at both head and tack, which are designed to distribute the loads on the sail when reefed. • Reefing marks located on the starboard side of the tack buffer patch provide a visual mark for setting up pre-determined reefing locations. These are located 508mm/1’-8” and 1040mm / 3’-5” aft of the tack. • A telltale ‘window’ at the leading edge of the sail located about 14% of the luff length above the tack of the sail and is designed to allow the helmsperson to easily see the wind flowing around the leading edge of the sail when sailing upwind and close-hauled. The tell-tales are red and green, so that one can quickly identify the leeward and weather telltales.

  • 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.
