Lili's Yard Thames Spritsail and Stumpie Barges (Mark 1) Owner's Manual by Lili Squibb Edition 2, 21 April 2020 WHAT'S IN THE PACK? You will need to 'unpack' your download before you can use it. Experienced Second Life users can skip this section of the manual, but I'll set the procedure out here for anyone who's unsure: 1. Find a 'sandbox' sim (or if you have your own rental land you should be able to do this all at your home) 2. Open up your Inventory and expand the panel called 'Received Items' at the bottom of the Inventory panel. Right at the top of the list you should see the download pack, called 'Lili's Yard Thames Spritsail Barges V5.x' there. 3. Click on the pack and drag it from Inventory onto the ground. This is actually only moving a copy so don't worry, the original will stay safe with your stuff. 4. Right-click the pack on the ground and select 'Open'. At the bottom of the window that pops up you will see a button called 'Copy to Inventory' - just click on that. 5. A New folder will now be created in your Inventory called 'Lili's Yard Thames Spritsail Barges V5.x'. This is the folder we'll be using from now on. 6. You can now delete the pack from the sandbox or your own land - don't worry, you still have the original in your Inventory! Excellent. You are now ready to go! Well, almost! Inside the new folder, you will see the following: Two control HUD's - small and large A display model which you can use in your home if you have one in Second Life. It's the same model as the 'crate' the pack come in, but without the contents. A pack of textures. These are the hull and name-board textures used on the models, so you can edit them and personalise your barges if you want to. Six barge models ABOUT THE HUD's Using the HUD's Right-click your chosen HUD in the Inventory folder where your barges have been unpacked. The HUD should automatically attach to your Centre attachment point, but if that doesn't happen then you can do it manually this way: If it then appears at an inconvenient place that blocks your view, just right-click the HUD on your screen, choose EDIT and then move it around using the direction arrows until you have it where works best for you. Finally just close the edit window. The next time you 'wear' your HUD it should remember this same position and you won't need to repeat this position adjustment. HUD sizes Two different size HUD's are included; choose whichever works best for you. HUD visibility settings This is how the HUD appears by default: The blue background is already partially transparent, but you can improve visibility and minimise how much the HUD cuts down your view by toggling the background transparency on or off. Just click anywhere in the background blue area: Once you are aboard your boat you can use the HUD for control. I hope it's fairly self-explanatory by looking at it, but here's a quick summary: Note the two blue 'Random' buttons for wind speed and direction. These have been added to simulate the kind of day when you turn up for a sail and the weather's doing its own thing! You could also use it when you change regions while sailing. Using the motor Click the 'Motor On' button to set the motor running in idle. To select forward gear, use the 'Page Up' button on your keyboard. To select reverse gear, use the 'Page Down' button on your keyboard. To go back into idle, use the 'Motor Idle' button. Forward or reverse motion will slow to a stop. To turn the motor off, use the 'Motor Stop' button. Removing the HUD When you're done sailing, just right-click the HUD and select 'Detach' to return it to your Inventory. Please don't ever choose 'Drop' or your HUD will drop off the edge of the known universe and be lost forever! This is not the end of the world because it's copy-permission so the original will still be in your Inventory, but still it's best to be tidy about these things! ABOUT THE BARGES This is the default view when sailing: You can also use 'Mouse-look' to gain a captain's eye view: In this mode you can look around using your mouse, but you won't be able to click on the HUD. If your mouse as a central wheel you should be able to flick back and forth between these two viewing modes by 'wheeling' in and out, but going into 'Mouse- look' for the first time will probably involve clicking on the relevant button depending on which Second Life viewer you are using. Leeboards Leeboards (see the illustration on the following page) act as retractable keels, swivelling down to bite into the water when a barge is sailing in a cross-wind. Because barges are flat-bottomed, designed to sit down squarely on the mud at low- tide while loading or unloading, it is important that leeboards also swivel up out of the way. You will also see them fitted to certain types of Dutch barges ('schuyt') and eel- boats. Deploy your leeboards any time you experience significant 'heel', or lean in the boats when sailing at higher wind-speeds or during cross-winds. Passenger Pose-ball This is located in the dingy for an agreeable laid-back ride for your passenger. Catching the wind The barges have a four-colour visual sailing-aid, which is part of the core BWind scripting, to help you tell when you are sailing efficiently. This appears near to the main mast once you are sitting aboard and activate either the motor or the sails, and is clearly visible to help you sail in both default view and 'Mouse-look' views. Here's how to interpret the colours: Blue: normally this is the state you find yourself in when first raising sail. Nothing much is going to happen when the indicator is blue; your sails are not set to catch any wind yet. To improve matters, use your keyboard's Up and Down arrow keys to being adjusting the sail position. Red : you are sailing to close to the wind; the sails will probably 'flutter', which you will hear and see visually. This is not good - either change course until you can catch the wind, or lower sail and move forward using the motor instead. Yellow: you are now sailing close to the wind and you will make forward progress, but this is not the optimum set to your sails. Try adjusting them slightly using your keyboard's Down arrow key, or alter course slightly until the indicator turns green. Green: this is the optimum; your sails are well set for the wind direction and you will make good forward progress. There is often slight adjustments that can still be made by gentle taps on the Up or Down arrow keys which could improve your speed even further. Or you could just cheat and select a faster wind speed from your control HUD, of course! The Barges An observer's guide to the Hrosskell (Lobster Pot Landing) working fleet included in this pack Nr.1 'Madison Rose' 'Maddy Rose' was the first-built of the fleet, and served extensively as a Yard trials ship for experiments and developments. She features traditional red sails and a gaff mizzen. Maddy Rose now serves as 'my' boat and is used for travel, attending sailing events and even racing on occasion. Wave if you see us passing! Nr.2 'Ajax' Where Maddy Rose was a prototype, 'Ajax' is the first 'production' boat and is, along with her sister ship Nr.4 'Monarch', most representative of a 'stock' spritsail barge with all the most common features. She is fitted with a sprit mizzen and has her mizzen-mast stepped on the sternpost instead of the deck. Nr.3 'Sybil' Little Sybil is a 'stumpie' (or 'stumpy') barge built to smaller dimensions. Stumpies were most commonly only river-going barges used in the River Thames and within the Regent's Canal system. Lacking a topmast she carries no topsail or staysail, has a deck-stepped mizzen mast with a gaff rig only, and her sails are a mix of colours. Nr.4 'Monarch' Returning to the full-size hull and retaining the stern-post mizzen mast and sprit mizzen introduced with 'Ajax', 'Monarch' has no lower main boom. Nr.5 'Hope' 'Hope' carries a deck-stepped gaff mizzen rig and has had a rudimentary weather- cabin built to protect her steersman in bad weather. Of course, since it never rains in Second Life the most agreeable place from which to steer is perched out on the cabin locker to enjoy the sun and the breeze! 'Hope' is named in honour of all whose lives have been touched by the Covid-19 pandemic. Nr.6 'Agamemnon' 'Aggie' has a sprit-rigged mizzen stepped on her sternpost, and supports her mainsail entirely using the sprit boom. No upper or lower main booms are fitted. Hull Nr.7 'Jero Ramo' The original production run of this 'Mark 1' design was planned for just six hulls, to explore some of the more major design variations. In the event a seventh was constructed specifically for Jero in thanks for all his tireless work scripting.

    'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth

    ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum.

  • Topsail Gaff Cutter Rigged Bolger Nymph

    Topsail Gaff Cutter Rigged Bolger Nymph

    Topsail Gaff Cutter Rigged Bolger Nymph Rick Campbell July 2010 This charming little boat needs some explanation, as she is not the novelty craft she first appears. The rig and hull were carefully selected to fill a unique niche. Some background will help you understand my choices--and why this is an interesting craft to study but not likely one you will want to duplicate. Feel free to skip directly to the “Restoration” and “Sail Rig” sections. I am a designer, but usually not of small craft, and I have spent my life in and around boats and the arts. Sailing is clearly an art form (there are more paintings of sailboats than symphony orchestras), and I think amateur designs can be more creative and interesting than the usual professional craft commisioned by a wealthy amateur yachtsman. Phil Bolger’s old Small Boat Journal Cartoons are delightful examples of some amateur’s hare-brained concept sparking the imagination of a gifted boat designer. I also believe that widespread use of the scientific method by amateurs is the key to human-driven evolution. The Scientific Method: 1. You have an idea that differs from common knowledge and practice 2. You figure out a way to test that idea 3. Your experiment reveals merit and flaws in the concept 4. You use what you’ve learned to modify the original idea/design Reading and habitual use of the scientific method are keys to furthering your own education. Reading takes you on previously traveled paths, and the scientific method takes you further. Along the way you discover stuff you didn’t even know you didn’t know.
  • From Gaff to Junk ..An Easy and Low-Risk Way to Convert a Gaff-Rigged Sloop to a Hybrid Junkrig

    From Gaff to Junk ..An Easy and Low-Risk Way to Convert a Gaff-Rigged Sloop to a Hybrid Junkrig

    From Gaff to Junk ..an easy and low-risk way to convert a gaff-rigged sloop to a hybrid junkrig... by Arne Kverneland Take a look at the sail plan on page 2. It shows an almost typical Norwegian gaff sloop as used over 100 years ago, just before the semi-diesel engines came in. Typical is the thick pole mast and no use of top mast. The masts were partly cantilevered and partly stayed with shrouds. Running backstays were never used. The distance from deck and up to the lowest fore stay is fairly long. The lower shrouds, not shown on the drawings, are also fastened at this point (the hounds?). My only adjustment from the tradition is that I made the gaff just a bit shorter to bring the peak in over the middle of the boom. This steals a bit sail area, but also solves the problems with excessive twist. This rig was actually built and fitted to an old boat from 1904. The owner was very pleased with it and was particularly happy with the good balance of the rig with many different sail settings. Take a look at the different CE positions with different sail combinations. Now, a couple of years ago I did an exercise to see what would happen if the gaff sail was replaced with a junk sail. The result can be seen on page 3. As can be seen, the junk sail actually came out a bit bigger than the gaff, almost as big as the gaff plus topsail (never fitted).

    The Setting Sun: a Life's Adventure William R. Cotton Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science Colorado State University 1

    The Setting Sun: A Life’s Adventure William R. Cotton Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science Colorado State University If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of my students 1.0 Introduction As I am now retired I am reflecting on my life and think about how my life tracked the way it has. How much is due to genetics? How much is due to my early up-bringing? How much is due to my own personal drive? How much is simply due to chance? These are questions which I seek to answer by documenting my life to this day. I begin by reviewing my early years followed by my college years and then life in Miami. From there I move to my life as a professor at Colorado State University and the directions that my scientific investigations have taken me. I also talk about non-science or pseudo science issues that I have explored. I discuss life in the mountains including building a cabin and life surrounding that era, followed by the yurt days, our cabin on the western slope of Colorado and life in Arizona. I discuss some of the fun things I have done, some kind of weird I must admit. I write each chapter beginning with my science/professional work and then go into the “fun stuff”. For those readers who are not into the “science stuff”, I encourage you to skip those parts and jump into the “fun stuff”. On the other hand, if you are mainly interested in the “science stuff”, I will not feel bad if you skip the “fun stuff”.
  • A Pictorial History of the Star Class

    A Pictorial History of the Star Class

    FOREWORD From its very beginning the Star Class has attracted photographers’ attention. Morris Rosenfeld and Edwin Levick were among the early photographers who took pictures of the Star. The beauty and power of the modern Star boat continues to be an object interest for both amateur and professional photographer. We are thus fortunate to have a fairly good pictorial record of the Star Class starting with those early days of 1911 when the Stars first put in an appearance on Long Island Sound and at Nahant Dory Club in Massachusetts. The Star Class also has a very good historical record of itself. An annual Log which lists the boats and their owners, gives race results, carries the Class Rules, and other pertinent information has been published since 1922. An additional source of information is available from Starlights, the Star Class newsletter which has been published since 1925. Added to these sources there are two history books about the Star Class: “Forty Years Among the Star”, written by George W. Elder, and “A History of the Star Class”, written by Class Historian and long-time Log and Starlights editor C. Stanley Ogilvy. It is the purpose of this pictorial history to bring together some of the more interesting photographs and events which have appeared in the Star Class publications. PRELUDE The Gaff Rigged Era 1911 – 1920 (and before) The history of the Star began even before 1911. In 1906 a boat called the Bug was designed in the office of William Gardner in New York. These boats about eighteen feet long, were miniature Stars, their design being very similar to the as yet unborn Star boat.
