  • Guide for Using a Swinging Mooring
    Mooring Equipment A Conservancy maintained mooring consists of a heavy black iron chain riser, which is attached to a sinker or ground chain. The swivel allows the boat to swing freely at the mooring without twisting or snagging the mooring top chain and any ropes passed to the swivel. The length of the top chain is standardised to suit the average deck layout of a typical yacht using our moorings and is approximately 2.5m long. The length of top chain will not suit all deck arrangements and it may need to be adjusted to suit your individual requirement. It can be shortened by increasing the size of the end loop; or on rare occasions, lengthened by introducing an additional length to the chain. Considerations When Securing to a Buoy Moored boats behave in different ways; characteristics such as hull shape and draft will affect how a boat lies at the mooring during changes in the tide. Windage on spray hoods and canvas covers, will be affected by the strength of the wind and wind direction, which also plays a part in creating a unique swinging pattern and how the vessel lies with neighbouring boats. Minimising the swinging circle is an important consideration. The length of the mooring top chain between the deck fairlead and the buoy should be as short as possible. This also ensures that the weight of the boat is directly linked to the riser and limits the amount of snatch to the boat deck fittings. An excessively long top chain will also cause the buoy to rub alongside the hull of the boat and scuff the gel coat or varnish.

  • Cold Ironing Report
    PRELIMINARY DRAFT—DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE I. INTRODUCTION This report presents an analysis of the feasibility and cost effectiveness of cold-ironing ocean-going vessels while docked at California ports. Cold-ironing refers to shutting down auxiliary engines on ships while in port and connecting to electrical power supplied at the dock, thus eliminating virtually all emissions from a ship while it is in port. (Cold-ironing is also referred to as “shore power” and alternative maritime power). The term “cold-ironing” comes from the act of dry-docking a vessel, which involves shutting down all on-board combustion, resulting in the vessel going “cold.” Without cold-ironing, auxiliary engines run continuously while a ship is docked, or “hotelled,” at a berth to power lighting, ventilation, pumps, communication, and other onboard equipment. Ships can hotel for several hours or several days. Hotelling emissions from ship auxiliary engines are significant contributors to particulate matter from diesel-fueled engines (diesel PM), California’s most significant toxic air contaminant. Diesel PM emissions are estimated to be responsible for about 70 percent of the total ambient air toxics risk in California. Communities adjacent to the ports are exposed to elevated cancer risk and other health impacts from these hotelling emissions. As indicated in a recent Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) risk analysis conducted for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, “Diesel Particulate Matter Exposure Assessment Study for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,” 20 percent of total diesel PM emissions at these ports comes from hotelling emissions. Other sources of diesel PM include emissions from ship transit and maneuvering, cargo-handling equipment, and rail and truck operations.

  • Study Plans (Both Are Covered Here for Simplicity)
    Your ‘Slingshot 16’ and ‘Slingshot 19’ Trimaran Free Study Plans (Both are Covered Here For Simplicity) …from Designer / Builder / Sometimes Sailor Frank Smoot (AKA ‘Trimaran Frank’) About The Boats: The ‘Slingshot 16’ is a 1-2 seater trimaran, and the ‘Slingshot 19’ is a 2-3 seater trimaran. Both boats been developed to sail in perfect balance. With the 2-seater setup, but boat can remain in ideal helm balance whether soloing or carrying a passenger, thanks to a unique sliding seat arrangement. You can also rig them both with several very different kinds of sail rigs, and with either folding or fixed amas. NOTE: The Slingshot 19 plans include full details to build both the folding akas and 19’ amas. NOTE: The basic Slingshot 16 plans include construction details for the standard 14’ cruising amas and one-piece (non-folding) akas. Supplementary plans are also available that include full construction details for the larger 16’ performance amas and also for folding akas for the Slingshot 16. NOTE: Plans for the 2-seater version of the Slingshot 16 are not yet available, but are in the works. About the speed of these two trimarans: You may not want to go 14 mph, but it’s nice to know your boat can safely do that. (It could probably do more, but somehow that seems fast enough for me.) You can choose among 5 different sail rigs, either stayed or freestanding (unstayed). And you can initially build the Slingshot 19 with fixed akas, then later convert to folding akas (for easy trailering) if you wish.

  • 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.
