Canoe Sailor 48 page 4 Oceana MEET ME IN NEW YORK CITY JUNE 8, WORLD OCEANS DAY! Two sail canoes from Hawaii have been sailing around the world since 2014. Hokule’a (means Star of Gladness) and Hikianalia of the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS) started from Hawaii on a five year worldwide voyage. They are two traditionally designed voyaging canoes, replicas of the canoes that brought the first Hawaiians to their island home. Hōkūle’a and sister canoe Hikianalia are 62’x20’ double-hulled canoes, similar to the ones that Polynesian ancestors sailed. Since she was first built and launched in the 1970s, Hōkūle’a continues to bring people together from all walks of life. This voyage is being done almost entirely using traditional Polynesian navigation methods, called wayfinding, as did the late Micronesian Mau Piailug. Kaleo Wong is one of their navigators. Navigators carefully study and revere nature for direction. Wayfinding involves the use of only one’s natural surroundings - stars, clouds, waves, wind, currents, birds and wildlife to guide them. The New York Times magazine March 20, 2016, has an article on wayfinding “Secrets of the Wave Pilots” online and “Sixth Sense” in print edition. Sailing across the Pacific Ocean, they are amid whales, dolphins, storms, and calm winds. In January 2016, they left the coast of Africa and and sailed to Brazil. This spring they are sailing to the US and up the Potamac River to meet with President Obama. They plan to be in New York City by June 8. Let’s have a meet-up to see them in New York! To learn more and track their voyage, use the website http://www.hokulea.com/. Hawaii’s Polynesian Voyaging Society website has a wealth of information. If interested to meet them on or before June 8 contact Marilyn Vogel, [email protected]. Canoe Sailor 48 page 5 Ten days in the Life of a canoe sailor, by John Depa (At least we had planned for 10 days) reprinted from TSCA Delaware River Mainsheet The end of September, beginning of October, is always a busy time for American Canoe Association (ACA) canoe sailors. Our national races are held near the end of September, closely followed by the popular Mid Atlantic Small Craft weekend at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michael’s, MD. Most years there is a week or two gap between the events but this year they were scheduled on consecutive weekends. So, on the recommendation of veteran gunkholer Mike Wick, a few of us decided to fill the three day gap with a camping/sailing trip at Assateague National Seashore, MD. This seemed like the perfect plan since the vehicles would already be loaded with both camping and sailing gear, and Assateague is not that far out of the way, being only 70 miles from St Michael’s. Car-topping a sailing canoe is an advantage since a canoe is lightweight yet stable enough for some serious sailing. First, the ACA Nationals The ACA National Races were held on Sept. 26-27, at Union Lake, Millville, NJ and hosted by the Union Lake Sailing & Tennis Club. This is our favorite venue, since the sandy beach is ideal for launching a canoe and because the club members are so accommodating. Even with an aging fleet, we still had sailors traveling from four different states. Most stayed at local motels, some commuted daily and four of us camped at nearby Parvin State Park beginning Friday night. The Park is a beautiful campground located just 12 miles from the ULSTC. Larry Haff and I shared one site while Joan Krilla and Bob Akins shared another. It has become a tradition to display our “Old Guys Rule” sailing flag at every camp. We sailed for the C-Class (5-Meter) race series on Saturday morning.

  • Sail Area Math by Jim Michalak BACKGROUND
    Sail Area Math by Jim Michalak BACKGROUND... If you look at the picture below of the sail rig of Mayfly12 you will see on the sail some (fuzzy) writing (that didn't scan well) that says "55 square feet" to the left of a small circle that represents the center of that area (honest). Fig 1 The center of that area is often called a "centroid" and you will see it is placed more or less directly above the center of the leeboard's area. That is very important. As you might imagine a shallow flat hull like this with a deep narrow leeboard wants to pivot around that leeboard. If the forces of the sail, which in a very general way can be centered at the sail's centroid, push sideways forward of the leeboard, the boat will tend to fall off away from the wind. You should be able to hold the boat on course with the rudder but in that case the rudder will have "lee helm" where you have to use the rudder to push the stern of the boat downwind. The load on the rudder will add to the load of the leeboard. Sort of a "two wrongs make a right" situation and generally very bad for performance and safety in that if you release the tiller as you fall overboard the boat will bear off down wind without you. If the centroid is aft of the leeboard you will have "weather helm", a much better situation. The rudder must be deflected to push the stern towards the wind and the force on it is subtracted from the load on the leeboard.

  • Topsail Gaff Cutter Rigged Bolger Nymph
    Topsail Gaff Cutter Rigged Bolger Nymph Rick Campbell July 2010 This charming little boat needs some explanation, as she is not the novelty craft she first appears. The rig and hull were carefully selected to fill a unique niche. Some background will help you understand my choices--and why this is an interesting craft to study but not likely one you will want to duplicate. Feel free to skip directly to the “Restoration” and “Sail Rig” sections. I am a designer, but usually not of small craft, and I have spent my life in and around boats and the arts. Sailing is clearly an art form (there are more paintings of sailboats than symphony orchestras), and I think amateur designs can be more creative and interesting than the usual professional craft commisioned by a wealthy amateur yachtsman. Phil Bolger’s old Small Boat Journal Cartoons are delightful examples of some amateur’s hare-brained concept sparking the imagination of a gifted boat designer. I also believe that widespread use of the scientific method by amateurs is the key to human-driven evolution. The Scientific Method: 1. You have an idea that differs from common knowledge and practice 2. You figure out a way to test that idea 3. Your experiment reveals merit and flaws in the concept 4. You use what you’ve learned to modify the original idea/design Reading and habitual use of the scientific method are keys to furthering your own education. Reading takes you on previously traveled paths, and the scientific method takes you further. Along the way you discover stuff you didn’t even know you didn’t know.

  • 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.

  • 11 - Revival of a Lord of the Léman
    11 - Revival of a Lord of the Léman In the very heart of the Alps there is a lake whose real name is Léman. In English it is often wrongly, given the name of the important town on its western tip and called the Lake of Geneva. This is the biggest lake in western Europe with it’s length of 72 Km, a surface area of 582 Km2 and no less than 167 km of shoreline. In spite of being isolated by its position from all maritime influence, over the ages this lake became an important inland waterway both for merchandise and personal transport. Early flat-bottomed boats with primitive square sails and no keel gave way with time to more sophisticated craft, built on a keel, rigged with lateen sails and displaying an undeniable similarity to vessels plying the Mediterranean. From the 13th century the House of Savoy had Galleys built. To this end they engaged specialists from the region of Genoa. In the 16th century carpenters from Nice were building vessels commonly called Barques. The distinguishing characteristic of the Léman Barques was that they were entirely decked over and that they carried their cargo on this deck. Their construction is based on a floor and frame method, just like big seagoing ships. Their relationship to the Mediterranean Galleys is undeniable; many of the technical terms of the Mediterranean boats are found in these Barques. In contrast to the early boats the Barques had fine lines, which allowed them to tack into a headwind. With few exceptions the Barques have two almost identical masts.
