  • Setting up Your FD to Go Sailing
    FD Trim Setting up your FD to go sailing The FD is a complex and powerful dinghy and getting the boat set up correctly for the prevailing conditions makes all the difference between the boat flying along and its being a pig to sail, especially to windward. It is important, therefore, that the significant controls are readily adjustable by the helmsman whilst sailing, so that he can fine tune the rig without loosing way or control. Of course, all the usual boat turning and preparation rules apply to the FD as to any other performance dinghy. Get the centreboard and rudder vertical and in line; get the mast central and upright in the boat; make the mast a tight fit in the step and partners etc. However some aspects of the FD are a bit special so try this way of sorting boat out and getting set for the race. Set up the genoa: The most important control of an FD is the genoa halyard, controlling the mast rake. This needs the purchase of at least 24:1 led to either side of the boat for the helmsman to adjust while hiking. A courser adjustment, say 6:1, is also ideal for changing between the different clew attachment positions available in modern genoas. We use a 6:1 purchase on the back face of the mast which hooks up to the genoa halyard. One end of this goes directly to a clam-cleat for the course adjustment and this marked with a position for each clew. The other end goes to 4:1 purchase running along the boats centreline and led to each side.

  • The International Flying Dutchman Class Book
    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.

  • Rigging and Unrigging a JY-15
    Rigging and Unrigging a JY-15 Before beginning to rig a JY-15, look the boat over. If it does not have a tiller, get a tiller, a roll of sails and two PFDs from the boathouse. Unroll the sails and check for tears. Inspect the boat for missing or damaged parts. Put the PFDs under the foredeck. Make sure that the mainsheet and boom vang are loose, so the they won't interfere with raising the sails. With the boat on the dolly, drain it by opening the twin drain plugs in the stern and lifting the bow. When the boat is drained, close the drain plugs. Attach the rudder, pushing the pin down until you hear a distinct “click.” Slide the tiller under the traveler bridle and cleat the rudder uphaul so that the rudder is as far out of the water as possible. Slide the mainsail foot into the slot on the top of the boom. Fasten the tack pin at the front of the boom through the cringle in the sail. Thread the outhaul through the clew cringle at the back of the mainsail, through the block at the end of the boom, and through the jam cleat on the side of the boom. Tie a fgure-eight knot in the end of the outhaul. Place the rest of the mainsail in the cockpit. Close the forestay tension lever and insert the fastpin to hold it closed. Attach the jib tack shackle to the stem ftting. Hank the jib onto the forestay and then bundle the jib on the foredeck.

  • Did You Know Flying Dutchman Class/Ben Lexcen/Bob Miller
    DID YOU KNOW The late Ben Lexcen designer of the famous “winged keel” on “Australia II,” was an RQYS Member from 1961 to 1968. When skippered by John Bertrand in 1983, “Australia II” became the first non - American yacht to win the America’s Cup in its then 132 year history. Bill Kirby FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS/BEN LEXCEN/BOB MILLER In 1958, the Royal Queensland Yacht Club introduced the International Flying Dutchman Olympic Class two - man dinghy into its fleet. Commodore the late John H “Jock” Robinson announced in his Annual Report for the year that the striking of a levy to assist Australian Olympic Yachting at the 1964 Games at Naples had been approved unanimously. The 1961 – 1962 Australian Champions in the International Flying Dutchman Class were Squadron Members Craig Whitworth, skipper and Bob Miller, forward hand sailing in the “AS Huybers.” The boat was made available for Craig and Bob to sail via efforts of the late Past Commodore Alf Huybers, a well - known businessman of the time in Brisbane and proprietor of Queensland Pastoral Supplies. I was told recently by Bill Wright of Norman R Wright & Sons that Bob Miller was apprenticed as a Sailmaker to his Uncle, Norman J Wright, at the Florite sail loft run by George Manders and seamstress Mrs Lauman. Norman J Wright taught Bob Miller basic yacht design and they teamed up to design the first 3 Man 18 foot skiff “Taipan.” That was closely followed by the World Champion 18 Footer, “Venom” and I was also told by Bill the rig plan of “Taipan” and “Venom” closely followed that of a Flying Dutchman.

  • PDP WF101 Sailing, Beginning
    PDP WF 101 Sailing, Beginning Instructor: Liz Glivinski Email: [email protected] Phone: 508-789-9756 Meets once per week: 1.0 Credit Course Description: Prerequisite: Successful completion of the Boating Swim Test or Waiver. This is an introductory course for those with little or no sailing experience. All students must have passed the boating swim test or sign the swim test waiver in order to take the class. The swim test or waiver must be completed before students can use the sailboats and preferably by the second class period. The course will explore boat rigging, basic nautical terminology, safety procedures, and elementary sailing maneuvers. The course meets for two hours once a week at the BU Sailing Pavilion and will be a combination of land-based lectures and practice as well as on the water instruction. *THIS IS A NONSTANDARD COURSE which means that the deadlines to drop this course differ from most university courses. Please check the Student Link to review these deadlines* Required Attire: Sailing is a water sport. Attire depends on the weather. For warm weather, it is good to wear a swimsuit or other quick-drying clothing as well as bring a towel and change of clothes. For cold weather, one should dress in layers. The outermost layer should be waterproof with the rest for warmth. Wool and Fleece work well. Do not wear cotton. Closed toe shoes are best and a waterproof boot or neoprene booties work well for the cold. Students will not be allowed to participate and will be marked as absent if the instructor deems their attire is inappropriate for the weather conditions.

  • Optimal Blade Design for Windmill Boats and Vehicles
    OPTIMAL BLADE DESIGN FOR WINDMILL BOATS AND VEHICLES B. L. Blackford Physics Department Dalhousie University Halifax, Canada B3H 3J5 Abstract This paper discusses the theoretical problem of designing the optimal windmill blade for use on windmill boats and vehicles. The analysis shows that the optimal design for this application is considerably different from that for a conventional stationary windmill. A practical procedure for blade design is given, and experimental results from a 4 m catamaran boat, using a A m diameter wind turbine, and from a wheeled vehicle, using a 1.2 m diameter wind turbine, are presented. The boat achieves an upwind speed of -503! of the wind speed and the vehicle achieves "1002, in agreement with theory. 1.

  • Paradox Sailing For
    November 29, December 20, 2009 Paradoxes of Sailing John D. Norton Department of History and Philosophy of Science and Center for Philosophy of Science University of Pittsburgh www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton To appear in Sailing and Philosophy, Patrick A. Goold, Ed., in Philosophy for Everyone. Wiley-Blackwell. Paradoxes have long been a driving force in philosophy. They compel us to think more clearly about what we otherwise take for granted. In Antiquity, Zeno insisted that a runner could never complete the course because he’d first need to go half way, and then half way again; and so on indefinitely. Zeno also argued that matter could not be infinitely divisible, else it would be made of parts of no size at all. Even infinitely many nothings combined still measure nothing. These simple thoughts forced us to develop ever more careful and sophisticated accounts of space, time, motion, continuity and measure and modern versions of these paradoxes continue to vex us. This engine of paradox has continued to power us to this day. Relatively recently, Einstein fretted over a puzzle. How was it possible that all inertially moving observers would find the same speed for light? Surely if one of them was chasing rapidly after the light, that observer would find the light slowed. But Einstein’s investigations into electricity and magnetism assured him that the light would not slow. He resolved this paradox with one of the most influential conceptual analyses of the twentieth century. He imagined clocks, synchronized by light signals, and concluded that whether two events are judged simultaneous will depend upon the motion of the observer judging.1 1 For more, see Norton (forthcoming).
