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).

  • 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.

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”).

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.
