West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

  • SLACKTIDE's Sea Trials: Breaking in Our T26x7 Part
    SLACKTIDE's Sea Trials: Breaking in our T26x7 Dave Zeiger © 2010 www.TriloBoats.com Part 1 of 4 Introduction Anke and I have just completed our first season's cruising SLACKTIDE in SE Alaskan waters. She's a 26' x 7' x 1', engine-free, junk ketch-rigged sailing barge of my design (plans and more pics at our website). She's not one of those curvacious barge-babes, either, but a four-square and unrepentant box barge. Years ago I read that it was once common to convert smallish box barges, originally built to service bridges, into sailing cruisers. My memory paraphrases the passage thus: These little yachts, generally gaff-rigged and sporting leeboards, were surprisingly beloved by their owners. They could be found tucked away in backwaters one would think only accessible to more able vessels.1 1 I think I read this in a book on small boat conversions, but have lost the source. If you know it, please drop me a line at [email protected]. --Thanks! I skimmed that passage in passing, along with its appealing pen and ink sketch of one, anchored in obvious contentment. Interesting, but I'd never seen such a barge – they seem to belong to times past. Yet the memory lay dormant for two decades before pushing through the mud of my id. Being by nature a penny pinching breed of sloth, I was finally led by circuitous routes back to the box barge. Plywood replaces the planks of yore, but like their inspirators, TriloBoats are, as boats go, extremely cheap and easy to build.

  • Mast Furling Installation Guide
    NORTH SAILS MAST FURLING INSTALLATION GUIDE Congratulations on purchasing your new North Mast Furling Mainsail. This guide is intended to help better understand the key construction elements, usage and installation of your sail. If you have any questions after reading this document and before installing your sail, please contact your North Sails representative. It is best to have two people installing the sail which can be accomplished in less than one hour. Your boat needs facing directly into the wind and ideally the wind speed should be less than 8 knots. Step 1 Unpack your Sail Begin by removing your North Sails Purchasers Pack including your Quality Control and Warranty information. Reserve for future reference. Locate and identify the battens (if any) and reserve for installation later. Step 2 Attach the Mainsail Tack Begin by unrolling your mainsail on the side deck from luff to leech. Lift the mainsail tack area and attach to your tack fitting. Your new Mast Furling mainsail incorporates a North Sails exclusive Rope Tack. This feature is designed to provide a soft and easily furled corner attachment. The sail has less patching the normal corner, but has the Spectra/Dyneema rope splayed and sewn into the sail to proved strength. Please ensure the tack rope is connected to a smooth hook or shackle to ensure durability and that no chafing occurs. NOTE: If your mainsail has a Crab Claw Cutaway and two webbing attachment points – Please read the Stowaway Mast Furling Mainsail installation guide. Step 2 www.northsails.com Step 3 Attach the Mainsail Clew Lift the mainsail clew to the end of the boom and run the outhaul line through the clew block.

  • 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.

(AFTER ‘A DREAM DEFERRED’, BY LANGSTON HUGHES) using HRECOS ____________________ ’ The Topsail Times is designed and Does he dry up, like a fish on the deck? Or try to sail away— edited by Catherine Stankowski, and written by Clearwater’s and then wreck? Does he stink like a dirty keel? Education Staff Or does he become sour—like a lemon peel? Maybe he grows weary like a tied load. Or does he explode? Well, actually, none of these! In the winter months when the boat is not sailing, the crew and I try to get as much maintenance work done on the sloop as possible. Sanding, scraping, painting, varnishing, sewing, fixing, oiling, overhauling, gluing, carving, shaping, renewing, updating, uploading, downrigging, uprigging, puttering, tinkering, banging, drilling, hammering, sawing, cutting, and smoothing are just some of the verbs that describe the work we have been doing. The winter season is very busy for us! In the winter months, we are able to take on larger woodworking projects than we can during our sailing season. It would be tough to find a good time in the middle of the sailing season to tear out a hull plank and make a hole in the side of the boat! But in the winter, when we have a shed built over the whole vessel, there’s both time and space to do the work.

In with this program. any event, particularly if watches are being set, it becomes imperative that everyone have a good understanding of all lines and maneuvers the ship may be asked to perform. Safety Sailing the brigantines safely is our primary goal and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute has an enviable safety record. We should stress, however, that these ships are NOT rides at Disneyland. These are large and powerful sailing vessels and you can be injured, or even killed, if proper procedures are not followed in a safe, orderly, and controlled fashion. As a crewmember you have as much responsibility for the safe running of these vessels as any member of the crew, including the ship’s officers. 1. When laying aloft, crewmembers should always climb and descend on the weather side of the shrouds and the bowsprit.
