  • 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

  • Sailors Guide to Fibers and Fabrics Sailors Guide to Fibers and Fabrics a Sailor’S Guide to Sail fibers Modern Sailcloth Begins Life As Industrial Fiber and Film
    19/03/2017 Sailors Guide to Fibers and Fabrics Sailors Guide to Fibers and Fabrics A sailor’s guide to sail fibers Modern sailcloth begins life as industrial fiber and film. Some of these products are well known to sailors by a specific supplier’s brand name; but in many cases the material properties of these products are not especially well understood. A better understanding of the characteristics of these fibers can be helpful in choosing the right sails for your boat. The ideal sailcloth fiber would last for decades of use, stand up to the harsh sailing environment (toughness and structural durability), would not stretch under load (modulus and shape holding) and would be low in cost. But in the real world, available fibers exhibit varying degrees of these attributes with some materials having vanishingly small levels of stretch for weight, but less than desirable durability, while others are tough, but somewhat stretchy. Finding the right balance of properties for your type of sailing and keeping within budget is the key to being happy with your sails. Let’s start with the various fibers found in abundance in top quality sailcloth, and then look at the more anomalous products that have appeared (and in some cases later disappeared from sailmaking applications). Polyester has for decades been the most commonly used sail fiber because it is strong, durable and relatively inexpensive. Woven polyester sailcloth is often called “dacron”, in reference to the brand name given by DuPont to their Type 52 Dacron yarn, which was developed specifically for sailcloth and was the industry standard for years.

  • Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions Historical Musings from Salem Maritime NHS
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Salem Maritime National Historic Site Salem, Massachusetts Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions Historical Musings from Salem Maritime NHS The Great Age of Duck Volume VII, number 4 September 2005 On the cover: Duck is one of the many types of fabric that are in the Public Stores as part of the exhibit on the goods that were imported through Salem in the early nineteenth century. 2 Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions Duck, a word encompassing widely diverse meanings, has profound importance to maritime history and the spread of civilization. We think of an inherently entertaining aquatic bird that inspired the concept of quickly disappearing from view. To duck for apples, to duck in, to duck out, to duck an issue; these are actions based on the behavior of a duck. What does this have to do with ships? Absolutely nothing, other than, with luck, the ship will shed water “like a duck’s back.” However, the word duck has been associated with ships for centuries. And it seems that, as in the case of duck (duct)-tape, it has to do with the way words sound rather than the actual intended meaning. The Dutch word for sailcloth is “zeildoek.” Doek is Dutch for cloth (generically) and zeil becomes sail in En- glish. It does not overly strain the imagination to see a correlation; particularly when Holland was a major supplier of sailcloth and raw materials, trading in flax and hemp for hundreds of years. Eventually, “the word “duck” became as- sociated with a heavy fabric and was applied to cotton canvas when it was first manufactured in the United States.1" Linen Sails The most popular fabric for sails from the earliest times through the mid-nine- teenth century was finely woven linen made from flax, but a more coarsely wo- ven fabric made from hemp was also widely used.
