CSC DINGHY SAILING MANUAL January 2019 Introduction Thereʹs no substitute for actual sailing if you want to learn to sail. This booklet is only intended as a technical reference, to reinforce sailing lessons. If youʹre new to sailing, relax—youʹre in good company. Most new members of the Cal Sailing Club do not know how to sail when they join. Put this book down until later, and go sailing. Credits Editor: John Bongiovani Author: John Bergmann Change History Anonymous. First published Edition. The club began about a century ago as an offshoot of a loose association of UC students and professors who were interested in sailing. Perhaps there was a manual—who knows? A manual for sailing was put together using a typewriter and hand drawn pictures, distributed in booklet format. The most memorable part was a cartoon telling how to get onto a Lido from the water, showing a shark. Fi.ing conveniently in a pocket, most copies were turned into pulp during the new owners first lesson. Sometime in the 1970s. 4arious minor changes stemming from disputes over gybing and other pe.ifoggery. Sometime during the disco era. The advent of the computer in revising the manual, but keeping the same organization. Major discovery: pdfs dont fit in pockets. Sometime in the Clinton era. Major revisions to re6ect the end of the Lido, which had served the club 7poorly8 since 1959. Sometime in the Bush II years 411. Joel Brandt June, 2011 Dinghy Manual. Cal Sailing Club January 2019 Page 2 412 John Bergmann, updated content and format, added detail on the R 4entures, March, 2016 413 Made corrections, added content on Quests, added more figures, and added a table of figures. -
Laser Class Rules - One Design
Laser Class Rules - One Design One of the attractions of the Laser for most owners is that the class rules are very strict and that the boat is one design. The Laser philosophy incorporated in the rules is that we want to go sailing, not waste time fddling with boats. We want to win races on the water using our skill, not by trying to fnd a way round the rules that will give us an advantage. The class rules are written to prevent any changes from the standard boat that might affect performance, so that on the water each boat is the same. The few changes to the standard boat that are allowed are minor and only to allow for a few options that make racing the Laser more comfortable and enjoyable. Over the years the class has refused to make changes to the rules that allow more expensive or complicated equipment or which makes older boats redundant. If you feel you want to change something on a Laser - STOP. Ask yourself why you want to do it? If the answer is “to make me go faster” there is a very good chance the modifcation or addition is illegal! Take a look at the Laser Rules. • Part One explains the Fundamental Class Rule which covers the philosophy and any item not specifcally written into the rules. • Part Two tells you what you must do to have a legal boat. • Part Three details a few optional changes and additions you can make. If Part Three does not specifcally allow a change or addition - IT IS ILLEGAL! If you race a Laser that has a change or addition not allowed by the class rules you will be disqualifed from the race. -

SHALLOW BOATS; DEEP ADVENTURES! Since 1984
Since 1984 SHALLOW BOATS; DEEP ADVENTURES! 1 SHOAL DRAFT STABILITY, SIMPLICITY, SPEED AND SAFETY. I’m here to talk about a belief in and a passion for shoal-draft boats, particularly the development of the Round Bottomed Sharpie. I started sailing in centreboard dinghies and that excitement has returned with these boats. As you’ll see these 2 boats have become known as Presto Boats. NEW HAVEN OYSTER- TONGING SHARPIE By definition a Sharpie is a flat-bottomed boat and a New Haven oyster-tonging sharpie looked like this. They were easy to build with their box shape & simple rigs but the boat is an ingenious piece of function and efficiency. The stern is round so the tongs don’t snag on transom corners; the freeboard is low so it’s easy to swing the tongs on board and the long centreboard trunk stops the oysters from shifting SEA OF ABACO 3 under sail. NEW HAVEN SHARPIE RIG The unstayed masts rotate through 360 degrees so the oystermen would sail to windward of the oyster beds and let the sails stream out over the bow while drifting over the beds tonging away. The sails are self-tending and self-vanged so handling is very easy. The boats are fast when loaded so you can get the oysters fresh to market. Oyster bars in big cities were the Starbucks of the late 1800s. You’d pop in for a ½ dozen as a pick-me-up. 4 On the right is an Outward Bound 30 to our design. With our contemporary Sharpies we’ve retained the principles of the traditional rig; it works as well today as it did in the 1800s. -
Rigging Guide
R I G G I N G G U I D E Sail it. Live it. Love it. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your new RS400 and thank you for choosing an RS. We are confident that you will have many hours of great sailing and racing in this truly excellent design. Important Note The RS400 is an exciting boat to sail and offers fantastic performance. It is a light weight racing dinghy and should be treated with care. In order to get the most enjoyment from your boat and maintain it in top condition, please read this manual carefully. Whilst your RS boat has been carefully prepared, it is important that new owners should check that shackles, knots and mast step bolts etc. 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 regularly check such items prior to sailing. Make sure that you have a basic tool kit with you the first time you rig the boat in case there are tuning / settings changes that you wish to make.
