Initially, where the writer was a dealer, the designer or someone whose advice I especially respect, I included their name. Otherwise I didn't. That was a mistake that I regret. More recently I've included their names regardless, if they were in the original posting. In some cases, I've rewritten the text of the email to change style, eliminate excess verbiage, correct grammar or spelling, or for other editorial reasons. Unfortunately, in some cases, I then deleted the original source documents. That makes many of these untraceable, and that was another mistake. This was initially intended to apply to the F-27 with its fixed mast and engine in a well. Except for those idiosyncrasies, it should be generally applicable to all the F-Boats. Comments often are identified as to boat model, and in many cases I've included comments that specifically relate to the other F-Boats and not the F-27. After all, many F-27 owners move up to F-31s, and some F-24 sailors eventually get F-28s or F-31s. Plus, there are a number of people building their own F-Boats (Ian Farrier sells plans...) and this will be useful to them, too. These postings are from 1999 to 2004. During that time numerous things have evolved. Some examples are synthetic rigging, all-rope halyards, free-flying roller-furling headsails, outboards, anchors and Code Zero sails. In most cases the old and new are intermixed, although they are generally (not always) in chronological order, within alphabetical categories. It's likely that some other changes might evolve after this is published. You're on your own there! 15 Caveat and Warning You should be aware that sailing is a potentially hazardous activity. The advice contained in this book may or may not be helpful. It may or may not be dangerous. It probably doesn't have the warnings it should, and your use of this information is entirely up to you. There is no liability assumed by the people who posted to the F-Boat Listserver or by David Paule, who edited all this (and who's a different person than Dale Paul - David's the one with the beard.) You are responsible for your own actions - no one else. Also, the opinions expressed here are those of the various people who posted them, except that I might have mangled them in my editing. But in any case these are not necessarily the opinions of me, Ian Farrier, Corsair Marine, or even the person who posted it in the first place, depending on my editing - and they might not work for you the way they worked for the person who posted them. Not only that, they might be based upon the experience someone had with a different kind of boat altogether, and be less applicable to your situation than the person who posted it ever thought possible. What's more, in some cases I included comments much more for their entertainment value than for their technical merits, which often are nonexistent.

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).

  • The Poor Man's Ljungström
    The poor man’s Ljungström rig (.. or how a simplified Ljungström rig can be a good alternative on a small boat...) ..by Arne Kverneland... ver. 20110722 Fredrik Ljungström: Once upon a time there lived an extraordinary man in Sweden, named Fredrik Ljungström (1875 – 1964). Like his father and brothers he turned out to be an inventor, even greater than the others. Among his over 200patents (some shared with others) the most lucrative were probably efficient steam turbines to drive electric generators and locomotives (1920) and even more important, the rotating heat regenerator which cut the coal consumption on the steam engines with over 30% (around 1930). Going through the list of patents, it is clear that he must have been a real multi-genius (.. for more info, just google Fredrik Ljungström...). The Ljungström rig – the original: Being also a keen sailor, in 1935 Mr. Ljungström came up with another brilliant idea; the Ljungström rig (Lj-rig). He had learned how dangerous it could be to handle sail on the foredeck of a small boat and his solution was radical: The diagram above of a Ljungström rig is copied from the book “RACING, CRUISING and DESIGN by Uffa Fox. (ISBN 0-907069-15-0 in UK, 0-87742-213-3 in USA). Great reading! This is a one-sail rig set on a freestanding wooden mast (.. in later designs the aft stay was omitted). The luff boltrope of the doubled sail went in a track in the mast and just as today’s roller genoas it was hoisted in spring and lowered at the end of the season.

The race runs south past Miami and slowly bends towards the west along the Keys for 160 NMs. This year Meridian XI started in an easterly wind with all the boats jib reaching. Within a few miles boats started setting their reaching spinnakers. For Meridian that meant a FR0 (fractional zero). A similar boat to Meridian XI, the Dunning 42 Baby B., was the competition for Meridian for the complete race. Unfortunately, there was never a chance to compare speeds in the reaching spinnaker configuration because a squall hit soon after setting the sails. The squall took out the FR0, and when the FRO blew up the single fractional halyard also broke. Without that halyard we were not able to set the other reaching spinnaker, the A5. We watched the Dunning sail away from us with their zero set while we jib reached behind them. It seemed to take forever for the course to bend around far enough to set the masthead A 1.5 spinnaker and begin to make ground on Baby B. The Gulf Stream flows hard to the north just a short distance out from the reef.

  • The New York Sloop
    The New York Sloop The most important of the sloop-rigged small-boat types used in the fisheries was the New York sloop, which had a style of hull and rig that influenced the design of both yachts and work-boats for over thirty years. The New York boats were developed sometime in the 1830's, when the centerboard had been accepted. The boats were built all about New York Bay, particularly on the Jersey shore. The model spread rapidly, and, by the end of the Civil War, the shoal centerboard sloop of the New York style had appeared all along the shores of western Long Island Sound, in northern New Jersey, and from thence southward into Delaware and Chesapeake waters. In the postwar growth of the southern fisheries, during the 1870's and 80's, this class of sloop was adopted all along the coasts of the South Atlantic states and in the Gulf of Mexico; finally, the boats appeared at San Francisco. The model did not become very popular, however, east of Cape Cod. The New York sloop was a distinctive boat—a wide, shoal centerboarder with a rather wide, square stern and a good deal of dead rise, the midsection being a wide, shallow V with a high bilge. The working sloops usually had a rather hard bilge; but in some it was very slack, and a strongly flaring side was used. Originally, the ends were plumb, and the stem often showed a slight tumble home at the cutwater. V-sterns and short overhanging counters were gradually introduced in the 1850's, particularly in the boats over 25 feet in length on deck.

  • Rigging Guide Viola 14 Lug Rig
    Rigging Guide Viola 14 Lug Rig The Balanced Lug Rig The balanced lug rig is often chosen by small boat designers for having the following favourable characteristics: Traditional in appearance Cheap to rig Easy home construction of the spars involved Relatively short spars for a given sail area Powerful sail that is easy to control for the sail being self-vanging Very quickly to raise and to strike the sail (important for sail & oar use as well as emergencies). Good sail shape, also when reefed The lug rig is a very good choice for the Viola canoe if looking for a versatile rig that can easily be reefed, also on the water. It is excellent for touring or camp-sailing. The picture below shows the definitions used throughout this document for the various parts of a balanced lug rig. Making the Mast Mast sections are to be made of 6000 series T6 series aluminium tubes. The instructions for making the shoulder and bearings on the top mast section by using glass tape epoxied to the mast and a short section of aluminium tube of the same diameter as the bottom mast section for the shoulder (to ensure that the top mast section sits well in the bottom section) can be found in the Viola 14 plans. Dimensions/details bottom mast section: Length 2450mm Outside diameter 60mm Inside diameter 56mm (2mm wall thickness) Centre halyard cleat 550mm from the bottom of the mast. Bolt or rivet the halyard cleat to the mast. Optional saddle just above mast partner level for the dagger board elastic.
