  • 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.

  • Sail Measurement Form
    Sail Measurement Form Sailrite has en extensive database of standard boat rig specifications and, in most cases, no further information is required to prepare a sail. However, if you have a custom or modified rig, please fill out this sail measurement form completely and return to us. A proper fitting sail is only as good as the measurements used to cut the fabric. We recommend keeping a copy of this form and accurate measurements of your sails to reference the next time a sail quote is needed. 1. GENERAL RIG SPECIFICATIONS I ______ Height of foretriangle. Measured from deck level along the forward edge of the mast to the intersection of the forestay and mast. Prior to the IOR rule, this was defined as ‘P2’. J ______ Base of the foretriangle. Measured from the front of the mast horizontally to the intersection of the forestay and deck. P ______ Longest reach of the mainsail along the mast. Measured from the top of the boom to the black band at the masthead or P2 P I2 I highest point of the halyard. E ______ Longest reach of the mainsail along boom. An outer band is used to limit stretch for rating purposes. Prior to the IOR, this measurement was designated ‘B’. I2 ______ Height of foretriangle to the inner forestay. Measured from the deck. J2 ______ Base of the foretriangle to the inner stay. P2 ______ Longest reach of the mizzen along its mast. E2 ______ Longest reach of the mizzen along its boom. J E2 E J2 HOISTED MEASUREMENTS Use a tape rule hoisted on the jib halyard.

Dagcforde Gregory A. Jirak Abstract i ----..------ The MAINSAIL programming language and the supporting implementations have been developed over the past five years as an integrated approach to a viable machine-independent system suitable L for the dcvelopmcnt of large, portable programs. Particular emphasis has been placed on minimizing the effort involved in moving the system to a new machine and/or operating system. For this reason, almost all of the compiler and runtimc support is written in MAINSAIL, and is utilized in L each implementation without alteration. This use of a high-level language to support its own implementation has proved to be a significant advantage in terms of documentation and maintenance, without unduly affecting the cxccution speed.

  • Cruising Sails: Mainsails by Carol Hasse (A Shorter Version of This Article Originally Appeared in Cruising World Magazine.)
    Cruising Mainsails 1 Cruising Sails: Mainsails By Carol Hasse (A shorter version of this article originally appeared in Cruising World magazine.) We were night sailing through the coral strewn Bahamas, broad reaching at hull speed in uncomfortably rising seas and winds. Our course was set for tropical warmth and the adventures only sailors can experience. Somewhere between the exquisite Berry Islands and Nassau Harbor (though we may just as well have been somewhere between hell and high water with all the visuals of a coal bin), it was time to jibe. It had to be a controlled jibe of course; the 616 square foot mainsail of our 50’ gaff schooner was, indeed, a force to be reckoned with. Carefully easing the preventer that was secured to the aft end of our 500-pound 30-foot boom, we bore off downwind. Predictably and powerfully, the not much lighter (or shorter) gaff arced across the sky from windward to leeward. In the “split second” before the boom jibed over to join the gaff on our new tack, the mainsail ripped from leech to luff just above the clew reinforcing patch. With dispatch born of necessity, we tucked in a belated reef, neatly hiding the offending seam in the bunt of the sail. It wasn’t long before another jibe was called for, and despite the impeccable timing of our well-orchestrated crew, the mainsail was ripped again from leech to luff, this time along the seam above the reef clew reinforcing patch. It is with much embarrassment that I admit we committed this act a third time, ripping our mainsail above its second (and final) reef clew’s reinforcing patch—once more from leech to luff.

  • Setting, Dousing and Furling Sails the Perception of Risk Is Very Important, Even Essential, to Organization the Sense of Adventure and the Success of Our Program
    Setting, Dousing and Furling Sails The perception of risk is very important, even essential, to Organization the sense of adventure and the success of our program. The When at sea the organization for setting and assurance of safety is essential dousing sails will be determined by the Captain to the survival of our program and the First Mate. With a large and well- and organization. The trained crew, the crew may be able to be broken balancing of these seemingly into two groups, one for the foremast and one conflicting needs is one of the for the mainmast. With small crews, it will most difficult and demanding become necessary for everyone to know and tasks you will have in working work all of the lines anywhere on the ship. In with this program. any event, particularly if watches are being set, it becomes imperative that everyone have a good understanding of all lines and maneuvers the ship may be asked to perform. Safety Sailing the brigantines safely is our primary goal and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute has an enviable safety record. We should stress, however, that these ships are NOT rides at Disneyland. These are large and powerful sailing vessels and you can be injured, or even killed, if proper procedures are not followed in a safe, orderly, and controlled fashion. As a crewmember you have as much responsibility for the safe running of these vessels as any member of the crew, including the ship’s officers. 1. When laying aloft, crewmembers should always climb and descend on the weather side of the shrouds and the bowsprit.

    Tuning and Sail Trim TuningPaul Abdullah and Sail Trim Topics 1.Rig Tips 2. Mainsail Trim 3. Headsail Trim 4. Spinnaker Trim Rig Tuning Rig Tuning – Important points All Boats are different, but here’s some common areas to focus on: ► 1. Mast Centering ► 2. Mast Rake ► 3. Butt (Base) Position ► 4. Pre-Bend ► 5. Side-to-side ► 6. Bendiness Rig Tuning – Centering the Mast ► 1. Measure from point A to B and divide in half to find the center of the boat, position center of mast to that point ► 2. Swing jib halyard from point A to B and make sure they are the same length, this will ensure the hounds are in the center of the boat Rig Tuning - Rake ► Rake affects the center of effort/center of resistance (HELM!) ► Max rake increases weather helm to balance the boat Rig Tuning – Mast Butt Position ► Moving the mast aft to its’ correct setting will induce pre-bend. ► Most One-Designs have the mast butt location in the Tuning Guide. Rig Tuning – Pre Bend ► What is Pre-bend? The “natural” bend where the mast is tuned ► Important to set pre- bend because sailmakers build sails to a measurable pre-bend setting Rig Tuning – Pre Bend Rig Tuning – Side to Side ► To check side bend sight up the back of the mast ► If the lowers are too loose the tip will poke to weather and the middle will sag to leeward ► If the lowers are too tight the tip will fall off to leeward and the middle will poke to weather Rig Tuning – Lower Tension ► 1.

  • Sail Power and Performance
    the area of Ihe so-called "fore-triangle"), the overlapping part of headsail does not contribute to the driving force. This im­ plies that it does pay to have o large genoa only if the area of the fore-triangle (or 85 per cent of this area) is taken as the rated sail area. In other words, when compared on the basis of driving force produced per given area (to be paid for), theoverlapping genoas carried by racing yachts are not cost-effective although they are rating- effective in term of measurement rules (Ref. 1). In this respect, the rating rules have a more profound effect on the plan- form of sails thon aerodynamic require­ ments, or the wind in all its moods. As explicitly demonstrated in Fig. 2, no rig is superior over the whole range of heading angles. There are, however, con­ sistently poor performers such ns the La­ teen No. 3 rig, regardless of the course sailed relative to thewind. When reaching, this version of Lateen rig is inferior to the Lateen No. 1 by as rnuch as almost 50 per cent. To the surprise of many readers, perhaps, there are more efficient rigs than the Berntudan such as, for example. La­ teen No. 1 or Guuter, and this includes windward courses, where the Bermudon rig is widely believed to be outstanding. With the above data now available, it's possible to answer the practical question: how fast will a given hull sail on different headings when driven by eoch of these rigs? Results of a preliminary speed predic­ tion programme are given in Fig.
