Small Fishing Craf MECHANIZATION SMALL FISHING CRAF Outboards Inboard Enginc'In Open Craft Inboard Engines in Decked Cra t Servicing and Maintenance Coca ogo Subjects treated in the various sections are: Installation and operation of outboard motors; Inboard engines in open craft; Inboard engines in decked craft; Service and maintenance. Much of the editorial matter is based upon the valuable and authoritative papers presented at a symposium held in Korea and )rganized by the FAO and the Indo- ' acific Council. These papers St.1.07,0,0 MV4,104,4",,,A1M, ; have been edited by Commander John Burgess, and are accom- oanied by much other material of value from various authors. Foreword by Dr. D. B. Finn, C.14.G. Director, Fisheries Division, FAO t has become a tradition for the three sections of FAO's Fisheries Technology BranchBoats, Gear and Processingalternately, in each biennium, to organize a large technical meeting with the participation of both Government institutes and private industry. It all started in 1953 with the Fishing Boat Congress having sessions in Paris and Miami, the proceedings of which were published in " Fishing Boats of the World." A Processing Meeting followed in Rotterdam, Netherlands, in 1956, and a ,ear Congress was organized in Hamburg, Germany, in 1957. A second Fishing Boat Congress was held in Rome in 1959, the proceedings of which were again published in " Fishing Boats of the World :2." Those two fishing boat congresses were, in a way, rather comprehensive, trying to cover the whole field of fishing boat design and also attracting participants from dzfferent backgrounds. This was not a disadvantage, because people having dzfferent experiences were mutually influencing each other and were induced to see further away than their own limited world. Howeve,r, the tendency was also to have specialized meetings, covering smaller subjects and, therefore, FAO welcomed very much the Inter- national Economic Conference on Small Craft for Fisheries and Transportation, which was organized by Outboard Marine Corporation in Nezo York in 1960. FAO organized a Research Vessel Forum in Tokyo in 1961 and, in Gdansk, Poland, a Fishing Vessel Stability Meeting in 1963. The FAO-sponsored Indo-Pacific Fisheries Council organized, in 1962 in Seoul, Korea, a symposium on the mechanization of fishing craft, and FAO contributed in 1963 to the United Nations Conference on Science and Technology in Geneva, with a paper entitled " Mechanization of Fishing Craft " by Jan-010f Traung, and which was reprinted in Fishing News International, Vol. 2, No. 2. The third FAO Technical Meeting on Fishing Boats will be held in October 1965 in Göteborg, Sweden, and this conference will be especially concerned with smaller units of 100 gross tons or less, especially those for developing countries.It is felt that larger fishing vessels can be left out this time because the British White Fish Authority organized a symposium on the use of diesels in 1962 and on stern trawling in 1963, and there were regional technical meetings on fisheries in Ostend in 1960 in Scheveningen in the Netherlands in 1961, and there will be a new one in Scheveningen in 1964. The IPFC symposium on the mechanization of fishing craft attracted a number of valuable papers. The decision of Fishing News International to reprint suitable parts of these papers and to supplement this material with additional contributions is highly commendable because it will create a very good lead into the work of the third FAO Technical Meeting on Fishing Boats, 1965, in Göteborg, Sweden.

  • '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.

  • 5 Must Read Sailing Books for Catamaran Enthusiasts
    5 Must Read Sailing Books for Catamaran Enthusiasts This list briefly discusses 5 books that yacht owners or enthusiasts should read. What makes each book unique? Why should they read the book? What will they learn or take away from it? This is - at least what we consider - the best 5 books ever written in English on the subject of cruising catamarans. There are a few German and French publications but they are nearly impossible to get , most are out of print and unless you can read German or French - are of no value. So here is the top 5 list of the "Must Read books for Catamaran Enthusiasts" 1.) CATAMARANS - THE COMPLETE GUIDE FOR CRUISING SAILORS, by Gregor Tarjan. First published in 2006 and reprinted in 2008 by Mc Graw Hill Companies, New York. ISBN 9780071498852. Hardcover, 305 pages full color, large format, illustrated and lavish photography by Gilles Martin Raget. Of course we have to mention this book first. Not only is it written by our own Gregor Tarjan, founder and owner of Aeroyacht Ltd., but it is hailed as "the industry reference" by many experts. It has sold many thousands of copies around the world and has been re-printed numerous times. Jim Brown calls it "an authoritative guide for novices and experienced sailors, the best book written on the subject since the early 1990's" 2.) MULTIHULL SEAMANSHIP - Illustrated, by Dr. Gavin LeSueur. Illustrations by Nigel Allison. First published in Australia in 1995, Cyclone Publishers. ISBN 1875181032. Soft cover, spiral bound, large format, 108 pages, black and white.

  • 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.
