Nyack Boat Club Ideal 18 Rigging Procedure Reefing (12+ Knots)

Nyack Boat Club Ideal 18 Rigging Procedure 1. Remove jib sock (clip spinnaker halyard to mast ring) 2. Unscrew bow chalks 3. Remove mainsail cover 4. Remove tiller tie-down 5. Uncoil main sheet and ease significant amount 6. Ease boom vang and cunningham 7. Ease mainsail halyard (slowly!) lowering boom 8. Connect mainsail halyard to head of main sail 9. Remove sail ties 10. Raise main sail 11. Remove mooring lines, thread tall boy through both and clip to itself 12. Screw bow chalks closed Reefing (12+ knots) 1. Before raising main sail, pass reefing line through aft reef point (4 feet up leech of main sail), and tie a bowline around the boom 2. Pull cunningham from lower grommet and pass through ring 4 feet up luff of main sail on starboard side. Return this line through the jam cleat but leave it loose for now 3. Raise main sail until boom lifts off deck 4. Pull reefing line tight so grommet of sail is as close to the boom as possible. (You may need to lower the main sail some at this point.) 5. Pull main halyard until boom is parallel with water 6. Pull cunningham (now your forward reefing line) tight 7. Roll excess sail material and secure with sail ties through small grommets in sail 8. Do not forget when releasing the reef to ensure a stopper knot is tied in the end of the reefing line! Nyack Boat Club Ideal 18 Derigging Procedure 1. Unclip jib clew shackle and furl jib tightly (keep some tension on jib sheet while you furl, it also helps to sail downwind). Do this before you moor the boat 2. Approach mooring head-to-wind and secure at least one mooring to bow cleat, passing it through the bow chalk as soon as possible 3. RELEASE THE OUTHAUL! 4. Lower the main sail into the cockpit 5. Clip main halyard to back of boom and bring boom up, parallel with the water 6. Flake and tie down main sail using 3 sail ties - battens should be parallel with boom 7. Cover jib attaching spinnaker halyard to jib sock 8. Secure jib sock with downhaul 9. Cover mainsail (starting with zipper) 10. Secure tiller 11. Open scuppers 12. Ensure mooring lines are properly attached i. One mooring pennant passes through bow cleat and then wraps over it ii. Second mooring pennant sits on top of bow cleat iii. Tall boy clipped to top pennant and placed in the cockpit iv. Mooring lines pass through bow chalks 13. Coil lines and ensure they are not resting on the cockpit floor 14. Tension & cleat main sheet, boom vang, and twings 15. Call for launch (Channel 9) Don’t forget your radio as well as any trash you may have stowed in the spinnaker bag .

Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series
Neil Pryde Sails International 1681 Barnum Avenue Stratford, CT 06614 203-375-2626 [email protected] INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsails we produce for Beneteau USA and the Oceanis Line of boats. In sailing the boats we can offer these general ideas and observations that will apply to the 311’s through to the newest B49. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. MAINSAIL TRIM: The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsail, as the concepts are the same. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. Upwind 1. Upwind in up to about 8 knots true wind the traveler can be brought to weather of centerline. This ensures that the boom will be close centerline and the leech of the sail in a powerful upwind mode. 2. The outhaul should be eased 2” / 50mm at the stopper, easing the foot of the mainsail away from the boom about 8”/200mm 3. Mainsheet tension should be tight enough to have the uppermost tell tail on the leech streaming aft about 50% of the time in the 7- 12 true wind range. For those with furling mainsails the action of furling and unfurling the sail can play havoc with keeping the telltales on the sail and you may need to replace them from time to time. Mainsail outhaul eased for light air upwind trim You will find that the upper tell tail will stall and fold over to the weather side of the sail about 50% of the time in 7-12 knots.

The following features are built into this headsail: • The genoa sheets in front of the spreaders and shrouds for optimal sheeting angle and upwind performance • The size is optimized to sheet correctly to the factory track when fully deployed and when reefed. • Reef ‘buffer’ patches are fitted at both head and tack, which are designed to distribute the loads on the sail when reefed. • Reefing marks located on the starboard side of the tack buffer patch provide a visual mark for setting up pre-determined reefing locations. These are located 508mm/1’-8” and 1040mm / 3’-5” aft of the tack. • A telltale ‘window’ at the leading edge of the sail located about 14% of the luff length above the tack of the sail and is designed to allow the helmsperson to easily see the wind flowing around the leading edge of the sail when sailing upwind and close-hauled. The tell-tales are red and green, so that one can quickly identify the leeward and weather telltales.

The Weather Helm Issue (Rev 20 02 2020)
Corbin 39 – the weather helm issue (rev 20 02 2020) Synopsis The subject of weather helm comes up repeatedly when discussing the Corbin 39 and not all of the folklore is justified. This note attempts to summarise the issue and to relate it to sufficient evidence, and to qualitative theory, that we can be reasonably certain of the situation. Remember - It is possible to overpower a yacht and induce weather helm, what we are trying to do is identify excessive weather helm. The key take-away is that the excessive weather helm was a genuine issue, which affected all the mk1 cutters irrespective of whether they were equipped with the taller double-spreader mast or the shorter single-spreader mast, provided that the mast was set in the intended aft mast position. Perhaps this was worse in the mk1 tallmast vs the mk1 shortmast, but we are not at all certain of that. All the mk1’s that had the forestay relocated onto a 3-foot long bowsprit were later able to alleviate this to an extent. The mk 1’s that have reduced the area of their main by shortening the mainsail boom & foot (or used in-mast furling) have reportedly completely eliminated this weather helm. All other versions including the mk1 ketches and all the mk2 cutters & ketches appear to be completely unaffected. This is the first openly published version of this analysis. Previous drafts were incomplete and drew erroneous conclusions in some areas due to an absence of reliable data. That has now been overcome as further evidence has come forwards, and so there are material differences between this version and previous drafts.

Although these outcomes can be used to prevent, identify and minimise problems, Robotics as well as to drive multiple market sectors, the design and development of such platforms remains an open challenge. In particular, energy efficiency, control and robustness are major concerns with implications for autonomy and sustainability. Rigid wingsails allow autonomous boats to navigate with increased autonomy due to lower power consumption and increased robustness as a result of mechanically simpler control compared to traditional sails. These platforms are currently the subject of deep interest, but several important research problems remain open. In order to foster dissemination and identify future trends, this paper presents a survey of the latest developments in the field of rigid wing sailboats, describing the main academic and commercial solutions both in terms of hardware and software.

An Autonomous Wing-Sailed Catamaran Ph.D.Thesis by Gabriel H. Elkaim the Wingsail Wingsail Description Wing Versus Sail
An Autonomous Wing-Sailed Catamaran Ph.D.Thesis by Gabriel H. Elkaim The following information has been extracted from the thesis submitted by Dr. Gabriel Elkaim to Stanford University, and for which he was awarded his Ph.D. The full thesis, which can be viewed at http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~elkaim/Documents/GabrielElkaimThesis01.pdf (and an extract published in the AYRS’s Journal ‘Catalyst’ which can be found at http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~elkaim/Documents/Catalyst_BoatArticle.pdf), describes the Atlantis project, whose aim was the design, development, and experimental testing of an autonomous wind- propelled marine craft. The parts printed here are the ones which may be of interest to members of the JRA These extracts are re-published from the AYRS Journal “Catalyst” by kind permission of Dr. Gabriel and of the Amateur Yacht Research Society. Please note that the figures are numbered as in the original document. The Wingsail The most visibly unique aspect of the Atlantis project is the wingsail propulsion system, as shown in Figure 5-1. The design considerations and goals are: equivalent performance to the original sail system, low actuation force, and the ability to precisely control the resulting system. A sloop rig sail can achieve a maximum lift coefficient of 0.8 if the jib and sail are perfectly trimmed. Realistically, an operating maximum lift coefficient is 0.6. The design goal of the Atlantis wing is to achieve a maximum lift coefficient of 1.8. Since this allows the wing to generate three times the force of an equivalently sized sail, the wing area is reduced to one third of the area of the original sails.

Further Devels'nent Ofthe Tunny
FURTHERDEVELS'NENT OF THETUNNY RIG E M H GIFFORDANO C PALNER Gi f ford and P art ners Carlton House Rlngwood Road Hoodl ands SouthamPton S04 2HT UK 360 1, lNTRODUCTION The idea of using a wing sail is not new, indeed the ancient junk rig is essentially a flat plate wing sail. The two essential characteristics are that the sail is stiffened so that ft does not flap in the wind and attached to the mast in an aerodynamically balanced way. These two features give several important advantages over so called 'soft sails' and have resulted in the junk rig being very successful on traditional craft. and modern short handed-cruising yachts. Unfortunately the standard junk rig is not every efficient in an aer odynamic sense, due to the presence of the mast beside the sai 1 and the flat shapewhich results from the numerousstiffening battens. The first of these problems can be overcomeby usi ng a double ski nned sail; effectively two junk sails, one on either side of the mast. This shields the mast from the airflow and improves efficiency, but it still leaves the problem of a flat sail. To obtain the maximumdrive from a sail it must be curved or cambered!, an effect which can produce over 5 more force than from a flat shape. Whilst the per'formanceadvantages of a cambered shape are obvious, the practical way of achieving it are far more elusive. One line of approach is to build the sail from ri gid componentswith articulated joints that allow the camberto be varied Ref 1!.
