  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

  • Tips of the Trade
    Sail Handling and Neil Pryde Custom Fittings he following are some of the special Neil Pryde fittings which every boat owner should be Tfamiliar with. Genoa Sausage Bags Neil Pryde Race and Premier Series sails are supplied with genoa sausage bags as standard. These bags make repacking easier and quicker. The bags have 2 full-length zips on top of the bag which run forward and aft from the clew to the tack. Before you attempt to put the sail in the Figure 11 bag make sure both sliders are at one end of the bag. Then pack the sail inside and slide one zip from one end to the other. Do not take it off the end of the bag. You can then throw the bag around quite freely and it will not come undone. When you wish to hoist, place the bag on the foredeck and run the zipper off at the front. The whole zip will then break open freely and the sail will be in position on the foredeck ready for use. (figure 11) Dousing Sock The dousing sock can be used with either a asymmetric spinnaker or a regular spinnaker. To hoist the sail, attach the halyard to the head ring on the sail and attach the tack downhaul line to the tack ring. It should then be passed through a turning block on the deck near the bow, and then to a cleat or winch somewhere near the cockpit. The tack will initially fly approximately five feet above the deck, so allow this amount of slack in the line.

    Plate No. 20. CHAPTER III. SPARS AND STANDING RIGGING.' § l. MASTS. Lower masts in modern ships are usually QUilt up of steel plates stiffened in various ways by steel shapes. (Plate 20.) Built-up masts of wood are no longer used, although lower masts made of single pine sticks are· not uncommon in sailing ships of moderate size. Topmasts and topgallant masts are still made of wood, usually of pine. The details of masts are shown in Plates. 20 and 21. .The mast rests on a step, placed as low .as possible; usually on the keelson. At the lower e·nd is ·a tenon fitting·· into a m o.r ti s e at the step. Where the mast passes through the successive decks, timbers are built in from beam to beam, form­ ing p artn e r s ; the space between these and the mast being filled by tightly-fitting wedges. The masthead is smaller than the body of the mast, and at the shoulder, called the h o u n d s , where the reduction in size is made, heavy knees or b ibb s , are bolted on, widening . the shoulder and forming a secure support for the t res t I e ­ trees ; stout fore and aft pieces which, in their turn, support the c r o s s - t r e e s , the t o p , the t o p m a s t , and the eyes of the lower rigging. The cross-trees are athwartship pieces crossing the trestle-trees forward and abaft the masthead, and forming the principal pa·rt of the framing of the to p.

  • Part 19 Mizzen Topsail
    Part 19 Part 19, similar to part 18, we will be moving up the masts to the next level to install and rig the Topmast yards and sails. When building the masts, I had put the long pole on the top of the mizzen mast and had just assumed that I would be installing a mizzen topgallant, but this was not to be. So the mizzen topsail is as high as I go. You will see in some of the pictures I rigged a mizzen topgallant fore stay to “fill” the space. As before, I re-sequenced the steps to merge the rigging of the sails with the basic rigging. This chapter goes hand in hand with chapter 23 to marry the yards and sails together. I have included the sequencing for the topsails below. (Most of the photos in this chapter were taken after the fact and not during the assembly work) Mizzen Topsail Atalanta Mizzen Topsail Installation Sequence 1770’s (Period 1760 – 1800) 19.1 Make Topsail yard Sling cleat Stop cleat 19.2 Yard horses and stirrups (4) 19.3 Yard sheet blocks (2) 19.4 Yard clueline blocks (2) 19.5 Yard brace pendants (2) 19.8 Yard lift blocks (2) 23.1 Sew Sail Reef Points Bend sail – (carp. glue 60/40 solution) Lace Sail to yard 19.7 Yard tye and halliards 19.9 Yard lifts 19.10 braces 19.11 Vangs 23.16 sail cluelines (2) 23.17 sail buntlines (2) 23.18 sail bowlines and bridles(2) 23.19 sail sheets (2) XX Bend sail (2nd time) At this point all tackle; sail and sail rigging are attached to the yard and ready to install.

  • Sailboat Rigging Checklist
    Sailboat Rigging Checklist Pre purchase and seasonal checks • P- Are chain plates aligned with the turnbuckles, stays, and shrouds? Keep in mind sometimes bends are planned. • S- Are there any signs of leaking around chain plates? * • S- Are masthead mounts for wind indicators and radio antennas secure? • S- If the mast is stepped on deck, is it supported properly below? Solid with no cracks? * • S- Are there any signs of galvanic corrosion at the base of the mast or where dissimilar metal fittings (winches, cleats, etc.) are attached to the mast? (On a painted aluminum mast, corrosion is indicated by bubbles around the fittings. On an unpainted mast, corrosion is indicated by heavy concentrations of white powder (some powder is acceptable) and pockmarks around fittings.) • S- Are welds on the mast and boom clean and free from corrosion? * • S- Are spreader ends secured to the shrouds? * • S- Are halyard fittings, especially the sheaves, in good condition and not crushed, split, or badly worn? Monthly checks • M- Are terminal fittings (swage fittings, Norseman, Sta-Lok, etc.) free from cracks, bends, and rust? Check with dye penetrant before heavy weather sailing or long passages. * • M- Can turnbuckles all be turned by normal force, not frozen with corrosion? • M- Are all turnbuckle barrels secured to the threads, either with rings, cotter pins, or by tightening locknuts? • M- Are the standing rigging, running rigging, and lifelines free from broken strands of wire and without apparent corrosion?

    FITTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CASCADE LIGHTWEIGHT LAZY JACK KITS For yachts up to 10.5m (35ft) Part No. 41 143 The lightweight Lazy Jack System allows the mainsail to be easily reefed or stowed in all weather conditions. This ‘all-rope’ kit features our unique block covers and is intended for lightweight use. This Kit is not designed to take the full weight of the boom and we therefore recommend that the topping lift is used. The Barton Single Line Reefing Kit in conjunction with the Lazy Jack Kit makes Reefing safe and simple as this can all be carried out from the safety of the cockpit. For further information we suggest you contact your Barton stockist. 1 1. Contents of your Lazy Jack Kit: 2 x block assemblies (including blocks, covers, line and eye for attaching to mast). (No 1,2,3) 1 x Adjustment line (Line and eye for attaching to boom) 1 x Cheek block (To fit to boom) (No 4) 1 x Curved backing plate (For use when fitting cheek block to curved boom) 1 x Cleat (To fit to boom) (No 5) 2 x Eyes (No 6) Rivets and machine screws 2. Tools Required for fitting Tools Drill Bits & Taps Pencil 5 mm Drill Pliers 3mm Drill (To use in Hammer conjunction with the 4mm Electric Drill tap) Screwdriver 4 mm Tap Centre Punch Tape Measure Rivet Gun – heavy duty Hack saw Bosuns Chair (For use if the system is fitted with the Mast in position.)
