  • Spinnakers and Poles/Bowsprits Explained
    SPINNAKERS AND POLES/BOWSPRITS EXPLAINED The RORC Rating Office is sometimes asked whether symmetric and asymmetric spinnakers are rated differently, and whether there is a rating increase if you use both types. The question is often prompted by the IRC application form asking questions about the spinnakers of each type carried aboard, rather than just the largest spinnaker area (SPA) and total number of spinnakers. There are two aspects of downwind sail rating: the sail itself and the type of pole (if any) it is set on - as explained below. Text in italics is taken from the IRC 2018 Rule text. SPINNAKERS For the calculation of your rating, IRC considers the largest spinnaker area (SPA) and the total number of spinnakers carried. 21.6 Spinnakers 21.6.1 Boats carrying more than three spinnakers in total on board while racing will incur an increase in rating. 21.6.2 Spinnaker area (SPA) shall be calculated from: SPA = ((SLU + SLE)/2) * ((SFL + (4 * SHW))/5) * 0.83 SLU, SLE, SFL and SHW of the largest area spinnaker on board shall be declared. The calculated area of this spinnaker will be shown on a boat’s certificate as the maximum permitted SPA. 8.10.1 Values stated on certificates for LH, Hull Beam, Bulb Weight, Draft, x, P, E, J, FL, MUW, MTW, MHW, HLUmax, HSA, PY, EY, LLY, LPY, Cutter Rig HLUmax, SPA, STL are maximum values. Are symmetric or asymmetric spinnakers rated differently? Not directly, but see the section on pole type below. Is there a rating increase if I carry both symmetric and asymmetric spinnakers? Not directly, but see the section on pole type below.

  • Web of Connections
    After 1500, a web of maritime trade linked Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Thousands of ships carried explorers, merchants, and migrants from Europe to the Americas. They also transported millions of enslaved men and women from Africa. Vessels bound back to Europe carried gold, silver, sugar, tobacco, rice, and other cargoes, along with returning travelers. Every crossing brought new encounters between people, customs, and ways of life, ultimately creating entirely new cultures in the Americas. The maritime web connected the lives of millions of people on both sides of the Atlantic. The Atlantic World Trace the web of maritime connections between western Europe, western and central Africa, and the Americas that made up the Atlantic world. Details from “The Western Ocean,” a map published in The English Pilot, the Fifth Book, 1720 Courtesy of the Mariners’ Museum A World of Watercraft Educational Resources Explore artifacts and first person accounts of transatlantic travel in the 17th and 18th centuries to compare and contrast their experiences. Ships, boats, and sailors tied the Atlantic world together. Native peoples and colonists depended on boats for fishing, communication, and trade with the wider world. Warships, merchant ships, and the thousands of sailors who sailed them allowed European nations to manage their empires and profit from the far-flung lands they controlled. These models represent some of the many types of watercraft people used in commerce around the Atlantic world. Birchbark Canoe Native Americans depended on North America’s rivers and lakes for food and transportation. They fashioned tough, lightweight bark canoes for fishing, hunting, fur trading, and warfare.

  • Farr 30 Flyer
    YACHT DESIGN Farr 30 IRC-Optimized Bowsprit Farr Yacht Design has designed a removable, IRC optimized bowsprit for the Farr 30 One Design. The bowsprit measures 1.79m from the stem, a length which was chosen after evaluating similar boats and determining that the increased downwind boat speed eclipsed the induced rating penalty. The bowsprit’s cross sectional shape was derived from FYD’s proprietary formula that minimizes aerodynamic drag without compromising structural rigidity. 3D modeling tools were used to ensure that the bowsprit conforms perfectly to the bow geometry. The tackline is routed through existing hardware on the bow, reducing the amount of additional hardware required. A single bolt per side attaches the bowsprit to the hull; the bowsprit is easily removed so that the boat can get back into its one design configuration. Competition Composites Inc. (CCI) is an authorized manufacturer for the new bowsprit design. CCI is a unique Canadian manufacturing business focused on designing and building composites products for various industries, especially for the boating market. For the past several years, CCI has been manufacturing our Farr 395 and Beneteau 10R rudder upgrades. The feedback from these boat owners has been very positive regarding the craftsmanship, feel, and performance of the rudder designed by FYD, and manufactured by CCI. CCI offers the new IRC-optimized bowsprit for $3,900 USD, not including packaging & handling. For more details and to order, please contact CCI at [email protected] or +1-613-599-6951. If you wish to speak with FYD, please contact us at [email protected] or +1-410-267-0780.

Lauderdale, FL, United States RABBLE ROUSER RABBLE ROUSER is an exceptional Owner’s version of the Leopard 58 with 4 cabin layout. Built and launched as a Leopard 58 but that’s where it starts and ends. In the hands of her current and original owner she was transformed into one of the most customized, highly detailed, well equipped and unique Leopard 58’s in existence. From her Carbon fiber roller furling boom to make sailing easy, to the custom cabinetry to enhance the already generous storage space, and a custom electrical system, where there was an opportunity to improve or make better, it was done. With low hours on both her engines and generators, this boat has East Coast Yacht Sales - Allen Schiller, CPYB at Dion's Yacht Yard, 23 Glendale Street, Salem, MA 01970, United States Tel: 617-529-5553 cell Tel: 707-414-0414 Fax: 978-744-7071 [email protected] seen very light use.

Surprisingly, nothing specifi c remains concerning her, except for the information that she was constructed on the same plans as Concorde, built in 1777. As it turns out, Concorde’s lines were taken off by the Royal Navy after her capture in 1783, and the plans were kept at the NMM in Greenwich. It is fair to believe that Hermione is similar. However, the plans reveal some peculiarities specifi c to Concorde, which is and not present on Hermione. Her battery is pierced for 14 gunports to each side, not counting the chase ports.

Also, a jail located on board a ship Cutting Out – the act of attacking a ship from small boats filled with sailors or marines. Often used as a surprise tactic Fighting Top – a platform part way up a ship’s mast used as a firing position by sharpshooters during a naval engagement First-Rate – the largest warships in the now-obsolete Royal Navy ranking system.
