Frequently Asked Questions... ? Question: How do I obtain replacement parts for my sail kit? Answer: You can order replacement parts through the replacment parts section of our website or from your dealer. Question: Can I use a Walker Bay 8 sail kit on a Walker Bay 10 boat or a Walker Bay 10 sail kit on a Walker Bay 8 boat? Answer: No. Some of the components of the WB8 and WB10 sail kits are interchangable but there are critical components like the daggreboard, mast support tube/collar, seat clamp and rudder attachment system that work only on the WB8 or WB10. Question: Can I use one of the new sail kits on my older model Walker Bay 8 or 10? Answer: Yes. The new Walker Bay sail kits will work on a previous model year Walker Bay boat.

Page 3 HOW TO ADJUST SAIL SIZE SAILING SUGGESTIONS & CORRECT SAILING POSITIONS Important Note: Correct weight distribution is very important to sailing performance. Improve Your Performance! Small adjustments in line tension and weight distribution are important to get the best sailing performance out of your craft. Be aware of how they affect the way the boat sails and use them to improve your sailing. For best upwind performance the occupants’ load must be evenly distributed around the mid seat. Sailing Alone: When sailing alone we recommend sitting on the midseat or on the floor of the boat just behind the midseat. Many people find sitting on the floor the most comfortable position for sailing as it keeps the center of gravity low in the hull and improves stability. Sailing With More Than One Person: When sailing with more than one person the weight of the occupants must be distributed evenly fore and aft. Try one person sitting facing forward on the mid seat and the other person facing forward sitting on the rear seat. Also try one person sitting on the floor in front of the mid seat and the other person sitting on the floor in front of the rear seat. Important Note: Do not load too much weight to the rear of the boat. Too much weight to the rear of the boat will make it difficult to point/sail into the wind. For example, with only one person sailing do not sit on the rear seat; instead, keep your weight evenly distributed fore and aft like in the pictures above.

  • Mast Furling Installation Guide
    NORTH SAILS MAST FURLING INSTALLATION GUIDE Congratulations on purchasing your new North Mast Furling Mainsail. This guide is intended to help better understand the key construction elements, usage and installation of your sail. If you have any questions after reading this document and before installing your sail, please contact your North Sails representative. It is best to have two people installing the sail which can be accomplished in less than one hour. Your boat needs facing directly into the wind and ideally the wind speed should be less than 8 knots. Step 1 Unpack your Sail Begin by removing your North Sails Purchasers Pack including your Quality Control and Warranty information. Reserve for future reference. Locate and identify the battens (if any) and reserve for installation later. Step 2 Attach the Mainsail Tack Begin by unrolling your mainsail on the side deck from luff to leech. Lift the mainsail tack area and attach to your tack fitting. Your new Mast Furling mainsail incorporates a North Sails exclusive Rope Tack. This feature is designed to provide a soft and easily furled corner attachment. The sail has less patching the normal corner, but has the Spectra/Dyneema rope splayed and sewn into the sail to proved strength. Please ensure the tack rope is connected to a smooth hook or shackle to ensure durability and that no chafing occurs. NOTE: If your mainsail has a Crab Claw Cutaway and two webbing attachment points – Please read the Stowaway Mast Furling Mainsail installation guide. Step 2 www.northsails.com Step 3 Attach the Mainsail Clew Lift the mainsail clew to the end of the boom and run the outhaul line through the clew block.

  • 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.

  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

Pirate also embodies the most advanced skills and talents in both yacht design and construction in the Seattle area in the early twentieth century. The sloop won the National Championship in its class in 1929 and has the reputation of being one of the fastest R-boats ever built. Project Information: From the summer through the winter of 2009, The Center for Wooden Boats (CWB) documented the 16’ Salish Canoe (see HAER No. WA-188) and R-Boat Pirate, which was made possible by a grant from 4Culture. The documentation produced will be used to create a new interpretation R-BOAT PIRATE HAER No. WA-187 Page 2 exhibit onsite at CWB and emphasize the center’s mission to interpret Northwest small craft history.
