You will learn skills that will help you perform repairs at sea, on the dock, or at home. Please bring your “Ditty Bag” as we will be discussing all the necessary items you will need to do sail repair and maintenance at sea. The course will cover the following topics: Introduction to sail repair and maintenance, Inspecting your sails for potential wear and repair The sailmaking process: from measuring, lofting, machine work, to finishing Tools of the trade Knots, splicing, whippings Materials you will need: including sailcloth, materials, hardware, thread and needles How to changing your hank-on foresail to a furling sail Using an industrial sewing Machines to: Patch a hole, install chafe guards, fix torn seams, add a spreader patch and reinforce a ring with webbing Using a palm and needle to: seize a jib hank, attach a mainsail slide, mend seams, add leather chafe guards, and make easy reefs. Repair Kits/Ditty Bags Ordering supplies Sail care: stowing, maintenance, inspection and cleaning We will be using the following book for reference: The Sailmaker’s Apprentice, by Emiliano Marino. We highly recommended that you have a copy in your Ditty Bag. (Available at most marine stores, on line, or at the loft for CDN$45.00 plus tax) Hand-sewn sampler showing: brass ring, slide, hank, easy reef, leather chafe guard and reinforcing webbing Machine Sewn sampler You will learn to become familiar with all of your sails and will learn how to check your sails carefully before any voyage to analyze possible wear or failure points. -

Pacific Colonisation and Canoe Performance: Experiments in the Science of Sailing
PACIFIC COLONISATION AND CANOE PERFORMANCE: EXPERIMENTS IN THE SCIENCE OF SAILING GEOFFREY IRWIN University of Auckland RICHARD G.J. FLAY University of Auckland The voyaging canoe was the primary artefact of Oceanic colonisation, but scarcity of direct evidence has led to uncertainty and debate about canoe sailing performance. In this paper we employ methods of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analysis of sailing routinely used in naval architecture and yacht design, but rarely applied to questions of prehistory—so far. We discuss the history of Pacific sails and compare the performance of three different kinds of canoe hull representing simple and more developed forms, and we consider the implications for colonisation and later inter-island contact in Remote Oceania. Recent reviews of Lapita chronology suggest the initial settlement of Remote Oceania was not much before 1000 BC (Sheppard et al. 2015), and Tonga was reached not much more than a century later (Burley et al. 2012). After the long pause in West Polynesia the vast area of East Polynesia was settled between AD 900 and AD 1300 (Allen 2014, Dye 2015, Jacomb et al. 2014, Wilmshurst et al. 2011). Clearly canoes were able to transport founder populations to widely-scattered islands. In the case of New Zealand, modern Mäori trace their origins to several named canoes, genetic evidence indicates the founding population was substantial (Penney et al. 2002), and ancient DNA shows diversity of ancestral Mäori origins (Knapp et al. 2012). Debates about Pacific voyaging are perennial. Fifty years ago Andrew Sharp (1957, 1963) was sceptical about the ability of traditional navigators to find their way at sea and, more especially, to find their way back over long distances with sailing directions for others to follow. -
APEN PENTEX LAMINATES Contender Sailcloth Is Pleased to Introduce a Completely New Laminate Using the New, Break-Through Fiber PENTEX
APEN PENTEX LAMINATES Contender Sailcloth is pleased to introduce a completely new laminate using the new, break-through fiber PENTEX. Developed for the tire and mechanical rubber markets, PENTEX fiber has several features that make it well suited for sailcloth applications. As a close cousin to regular polyester (PET), fibers made from PENTEX polymer exhibit excellent resistance to flex fatigue and general toughness. They also are more resistant to UV radiation, maintaining more of their original strength for a longer time. This means added sail life in areas where the sun is strong. APEN Styles feature 100% PENTEX constructions including warp, fill and off-angle. New wider angle PENTEX grid for smoother panel transitions and greate fabric stability. NEW Contender now offers PENTEX laminates with taffeta, for increased durability and a wider range of applications. PENTEX fibers also provide a significant performance increase compared to even the high tenacity styles of regular polyester. PENTEX modulus is 2 ½ times higher than PET and since modulus is a measure of a fibers bility to resist stretching, sails made with PEN fibers will stretch less and hold their designed shape longer. Now for the first time, sailors can enjoy increased performance in a fiber without compromising the durability of their sails. Lower stretch, better UV resistance, and great flex strength all add up to improved sail performance. Contender has tested the APEN laminates on the water in both Europe and Australia with very successful results. Low stretch performance -

However, do include any unique details that pertain to the fit of your old sails to your boat, i.e. corner hardware or spreader patch position. 2. Make sure to use steel or fibreglass reinforced measuring tape. Attach a separate "pull down" or retrieving line on your halyard before hoisting. TICK WHERE APPLICABLE 1.

If your mast has a black band at the top, raise the tape until it is just at the lower edge of the band. You'll probably have to sight the position of the tape from off the boat. If you measured to the black band, check the box. Next, while the halyard is still all the way up, measure to the bearing point on the outhaul car when it is at the same angle as it is when sailing. -

The latter are hermaphrodite brigs, or “half-brigs”, or simply “brigs” to use the jargon of laconic whalemen. Kate Cory was built in 1856 by Frank Sisson and Eli Allen in Westport Point, Massachusetts for Alexander H. Cory, one of the lead- ing merchants of that community. The ship was named after Alexander’s daughter. Registered at 132 tons net, Kate Cory was 75' 6" in length between perpendiculars, 9' 1-1/2" depth, and had a beam of 22' 1". The last large vessel to be built within the difficult confines of that port, she was also one of the last small whalers to be built specifically for her trade; most of the later whaling brigs and schooners were converted freighters or fishermen. While originally rigged as a schooner, Kate Cory was converted to a brig in 1858, this rig affording steadier motion in heavy seas or while cutting-in whales, not to mention saving much wear and costly repair to spars, sails and rigging. -
