Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. 6 Opinions In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of North Topsail Beach, North Carolina as of June 30, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund and Shoreline Protection Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Local Government Employees’ Retirement System’s Schedules of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Contributions, and the Law Enforcement Officers’ Special Separation Allowance schedules of the Changes in Total Pension Liability and Total Pension Liability as a Percentage of Covered Payroll be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a required part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing

West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

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.

  • For Session B Set One of the Two Buoys to Wind- Ward to Facilitate an Easy Beat and a Broad Reach Return Between Them
    For session B set one of the two buoys to wind- ward to facilitate an easy beat and a broad reach return between them. Draw the circle on the white board to demon- strate the wind direction, the no sail zone, the need to sail to windward, and the sail set to the wind, and leeway. Explain that the boat will slip sideways when sail- ing to windward resulting in the straight line beat to the buoy being some- times unattainable. If there are windshifts a tack may therefore be necessary. In session B the instruc- tor is constantly reinforc- ing the concept that to windward the sail is set, the course adjusted to suit the wind direction. 7. Beating Continued… 7. We say pushing it back on course, as the boat will always be try- ing to point up into the wind and you hold a course by pushing down- wind on the joystick. This is the correct balance for a sailing boat and called "WEATHER HELM" - the boat wants to turn up into the weather. "LEE HELM" is when it wants to turn downwind. Reefing 1. Reeng is reducing the power generated by the sail. 2. Reeng is often necessary in strong winds and on our boats it is accomplished by pulling a cord which rotates the mast, rolling up the sail like a blind. 3. To reef, the port side (left side) reeng line is pulled with the left hand and is jammed in the clamcleat positioned on the console by your left knee. 4. The rst turn of the mast attens the sail which greatly reduces its power with little reduction in area.

  • Saudades – a Block Island Double Ender, by John Amaral
    Volume L, Number 1 - Spring 2014 Saudades – a Block Island Double Ender, by John Amaral ell Shipmates, assuming you might be fellow traditional wooden boat lovers, let me introduce you to a sweet-sheared little schooner, Saudades (Portuguese for “a W bittersweet longing for persons, things, or situations of the past.”). Since this old whiskered Azorean codfish who’s been swimming around in salt water for close to seventy years is a sucker for traditional wooden working-boats, the name seemed inevitable. “Nostalgia” comes closest to 2014 OFFICERS an English equivalent. Sailing out of Wickford, RI, she is a 20’ long, 7 ½’ beam, honest replica of a COMMODORE Block Island Double-Ender (BIDE, “biddie”).

Francis Herreshoff informs us (The Complete Cruiser) they were REAR COMMODORE originally called a “periagua” – BERNT RUEDIGER anglicized “periauger.” Today, SECRETARY besides “BIDE”, they are some- times termed a “cat-schooner” – PAUL GRAY but never, never, let a Block TREASURER Islander, hear you say “cowhorn!” PAUL GRAY Some say they emerged as early as 1740; others 1840. Like many regional working craft they evolved W&W EDITOR to meet local conditions. Evolution SUSAN A. SODON driven by practical needs informed by long hours on the sea in all weather. Practicality, common sense, and a lack of hard cash, birthed ingenuity in meeting needs using materials at hand. What was wanted were low-cost simple solutions that worked - allowing them to efficiently fish their often-crooked waters and come safely home.
