  • Terminology of Yacht Parts, Fittings, Sails & Sheets Etc
    Terminology of yacht parts, fittings, sails & sheets etc. Some of the obvious, and not so obvious, parts encountered on model yachts (and full size yachts). Bowsie, flat. Small drilled ‘plate’ through which runs a line, or cord, for adjustment of that line. Pre-war bowsies were often made in ivory, some were made in a fine plywood; today hard plastic is used. Bowsie, ring . A circular version of the flat bowsie, usually for larger yachts such as the A-class. Deck eye. An eye on a horizontal plate with fixing holes, located on the deck. Normally used for accepting backstay/forestay attachment, also shroud attachment on smaller yachts. Eyebolt. An eye, at the end of a threaded spigot, or bolt. Eyelet, sail. A sail eyelet is a brass part, in the shape of a ‘funnel’ before compression, and when pressed into a hole in a sail it makes a firm metal ring. It is then used to facilitate making off a line (or on occasions a wire hawser in full size practise). Larger/stronger eyelets used on laying up covers for full size boats, were turnovers , where a brass ring was firstly sewn in place over a hole punched in the sail or sheet, the turnover (eyelet) was then hammered in place using a rawhide mallet and dies. It made an immensely strong eyelet. Ferrule (slang, crimp). A brass ferrule, or sleeve, which when made off on one end of a wire, secures/attaches it by means of a loop made in the wire to a fitting or line. Head crane.

    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I LIBRARY AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF HAWAIIAN CHRISTIANITY IN THE PAST AND THE PRESENT A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ANTHROPOLOGY May 2003 By Akihiro Inoue Dissertation Committee: Alice G. Dewey, Chairperson C. Fred Blake Christine R. Yano David L. Hanlon Jonathan K. K. Osorio © Copyright 2003 by Akihiro Inoue iii ToSakae, Akinari, Eiji and Ayumi IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My deepest thanks and respect are owed to those who willingly complied with my request for an interview and gave me various inspiring talks. Some ofthem are affectionately called kahu among their congregations, others work hard as church members to contribute to their churches. Whether they are Hawaiian or not, I understand that they are leading a Christian life, which I can learn much from. All of those who shared their perspectives with me in my interviews stimulated me to probe into the problem offaith, which I must deal with personally as well as academically. I refrain from identifying them in order to maintain their anonymity, and only give most of them the general term of "Christian Hawaiians," which certainly obscures the significant diversity oftheir personality. If they are not convinced by the way their narratives were interpreted, I will have to engage in further dialogue in order to answer to them. I extend my hearty thanks to members ofmy dissertation committee. Due to personal circumstances that I had to return to Japan before completing my research, and because of my slow pace of writing, I was not able to hold the original committee.

  • 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.

    H.M.S VICTORY 1805 Exact scale model of the 100-Gun British Ship of the Line. This, the fifth ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name Victory, had three major battle honours. The first being the Battle of Ushant 1781, the second, the Battle of St. Vincent 1797 and the third, for which she is most famed, the Battle of Trafalgar 1805. By the end of the Battle of Trafalgar, there was not a mast, spar, shroud or sail on board Victory that had not been severely damaged, lost or destroyed in the conflict.

Slice the dowel (running with the grain), from a round at the start point of the taper to a square at the end of the taper. 2. Repeat this process so that the dowel runs from round at the start of the taper to an eight sided polygon at the end of the taper. 3. Repeat step two as desired so that the dowel runs from a round at the start of the taper to a 16 or 32 sided polygon at the end, of a diameter marginally more than that required.

The following Treatise on Sail-making was first pub lished in " The Elements and Practice of Rigging, Seamanship, Naval Tactics," &c. &c. a work in two volumes quarto. As an object of particular convenience and advan tage to Naval Artists, the then proprietor had been solicited to separate the arts there treated of, and to pub lish them in a smaller form. In compliance with this request, the work was re-published in four volumes octavo, with a separate volume of plates. The first edition of the Art of Sail-making was pro duced in the present form, and met with a favourable reception, from the merits of its correct delineation and clear description ; by these its utility was felt, and its value justly appreciated of greater import.
