  • Sunfish Sailing
    Try a Sunfish HAVE FUN !!!! The sunfish is a wonderfully fun boat to sail!!!! US Sailingʼs Mantra is - Safety, Fun and Learning Safety - “You as a Safe Sailor” handout Life Vest - Most important piece of equipment. Wear it anytime you are on the water Water - bring plenty and drink plenty Stay off the very slippery ramp Always stay with the boat - no matter what. (5) whistles - go in to shore immediately Stay together on the water Tell the Instructor when you are leaving the facility or going to shore. “If in doubt, donʼt go out.” Secret to Sailing Know where the wind is. Understand the “NO GO ZONE.” A sailboat cannot sail directly into the wind. Generally, a sailboat cannot sail closer than 45 degrees to the wind. The sails of a sailboat are trimmed differently depending on the direction of the wind. Capsize Stay with the boat - no matter what. If your rudder floats away.....if your daggerboard floats away.....If your lunch floats away..... STAY WITH THE BOAT. capsize prevention tips: Keep the boat balanced Keep the daggerboard below the boom If sailing windward, let go of the line (mainsheet) to the sail if the boat feels like itʼs going to turn over. When righting a sunfish, make sure the mainsheet is free and the bow ( front of the boat is turned into the wind.) Use the daggerboard as a lever to right the boat. Body Placement - Sit facing the sail ( usually in the farthest forward position.) Make sure where you are sitting is keeping the boat FLAT.

Use in winds over approximately 12 mph requires advanced certification, supervision of a LSC instructor or special permission of the Club Boat Director. • For Junior Sailors, an adult must be present on shore and the adult must be capable of acting in an emergency to assist the Junior Sailor. • Use is on a “first come – first sail” basis. • Sunfish can be reserved for special functions by contacting the Club Boat Director sufficiently in advance to permit notice to other Club Members in a e-Sheet (usually at least a week). Where to Find Things • Boats – There are three Club Sunfish. LSC 1 is kept in parking spot 402. LSC 2 in parking spot 403 and LSC 3 in parking spot 411. – Each boat is marked somewhere on the hull, usually on the side toward the front, or on the deck at the bow.

  • Modelling Radiation Exposure and Radionuclide Transfer for Non-Human Species
    Modelling Radiation Exposure and Radionuclide Transfer for Non-human Species Report of the Biota Working Group of EMRAS Theme 3 Environmental Modelling for RAdiation Safety (EMRAS) Programme FOREWORD Environmental assessment models are used for evaluating the radiological impact of actual and potential releases of radionuclides to the environment. They are essential tools for use in the regulatory control of routine discharges to the environment and also in planning measures to be taken in the event of accidental releases; they are also used for predicting the impact of releases which may occur far into the future, for example, from underground radioactive waste repositories. It is important to check, to the extent possible, the reliability of the predictions of such models by comparison with measured values in the environment or by comparing with the predictions of other models. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been organizing programmes of international model testing since the 1980s. The programmes have contributed to a general improvement in models, in transfer data and in the capabilities of modellers in Member States. The documents published by the IAEA on this subject in the last two decades demonstrate the comprehensive nature of the programmes and record the associated advances which have been made. From 2003 to 2007, the IAEA organised a programme titled “Environmental Modelling for RAdiation Safety” (EMRAS). The programme comprised three themes: Theme 1: Radioactive Release Assessment ⎯ Working Group 1: Revision of IAEA Technical Report Series No. 364 “Handbook of parameter values for the prediction of radionuclide transfer in temperate environments (TRS-364) working group; ⎯ Working Group 2: Modelling of tritium and carbon-14 transfer to biota and man working group; ⎯ Working Group 3: the Chernobyl I-131 release: model validation and assessment of the countermeasure effectiveness working group; ⎯ Working Group 4: Model validation for radionuclide transport in the aquatic system “Watershed-River” and in estuaries working group.

  • Portsmouth Number List 2016
    Portsmouth Number List 2016 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received from the PY Online website (www.pys.org.uk). Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary.

  • SCOW Flying Scot Sail Locker
    Flying Scot Skipper Information File (SIF) Sailing Club of Washington Flying Scot Skipper Information File Adopted by the board: February 10, 2019 1 Safety First! Safety around the marina and on the water is the priority and responsibility for skipper and crew. Rules, regulations, experience and good judgment all contribute to a safe and enjoyable sailing experience. 2 Introduction This Flying Scot Skipper Information File (SIF) sets forth the skipper responsibilities and SCOW procedures for the use of the club’s Flying Scot sailboats. This SIF supplements the SCOW Skipper Requirements and Boat Use Policy, which contain general procedures for the use of all club boats. Skippers are required to be familiar with and follow these documents before operating the Flying Scots. This SIF is intended only to emphasize important procedures for using the Flying Scot. It is not a sailing instruction manual. Each skipper is responsible for being completely capable of launching, rigging, sailing, docking and retrieving the Flying Scots. This SIF is not a substitute for training and experience. 3 Expectations of all Flying Scot Skippers for Care of the Vessels Take pride in our boats by leaving them better than you found them after you sail. Remove all trash, wash inside and outside of the hull, and remove scuff marks. Stow equipment in the appropriate locations on the boat and in the sail locker. All Flying Scot Skippers are expected to participate in scheduled maintenance days. 4 Failure to Follow Club Rules Skippers who repeatedly fail to follow SCOW rules will have their skipper privileges suspended or revoked.
