Sail Plans His Supplement Expands on the Sailing Rig Component Described in the Vehicle Construction Kit Sail Plans his supplement expands on the sailing rig component described in the Vehicle Construction Kit. Presented below are a variety of rigs and sailing plans common to the renaissance and industrial eras. T Through the eras, incremental improvements in a rig's performance is achieved through new sailcloth materials (from cotton and linen to nylon or carbon fibre) and mast strength. While the differences in performance across the different sail plans are small – fractions of 1 mph – it can make a difference over oceanic distances, particularly for larger ships. Medieval Sailing Rigs The square rig, lateen rig and ship rig are described in VCK under the sailing rig component entry. You can also use the lateen rig statistics to represent a crab claw sail or junk rig. Fore-and-Aft Rig (Renaissance+) Fore-and-aft rigs includes a number of sail plans in which the sails are set along the line of the keel, rather than perpendicular to it. The lateen rig is a fore-and-aft rig, but from the renaissance era onwards new types of sail are easier to control and can sail closer to the wind. In game terms, a fore-and-aft rig does not have the mass limitation of the lateen rig. Common types of fore-and-aft rig are the gaff rig and the Bermuda rig. A gaff rig is a fore-and-aft rig with a four-cornered main sail. The head of the sail is controlled by a pole called a gaff. The bermuda rig has a very tall triangular sail set on a raked (angled aftward) mast, and usually attached to a boom. Fore-and-aft rigs often include a jib headsail to increase Sail Actions stability and performance. It takes time to perform the following tasks: Ships: Cutter (1 mast), schooner (2 or more masts), yawl, Reef the sails (in preparation for a gale or ketch, sloop. storm); or to conversely "shake them out". Fold away or put up the spinnaker sail in a spinnaker rig. Extend or retract the studding sails in a full rig. Realistically, this takes a number of minutes equal to the crew requirement of the sailing rig, given a full crew. The DM may allow heroic Player Characters to instead use their actions to perform these tasks. The task takes a number of actions equal to the Samplenumber of minutes it wouldfile normally take. SAILING PLANS 2 Full Rig (Renaissance+) A full rig is a development of the prototypical "ship rig", adding additional topsails and headsails. All the masts are square-rigged, except the the mizzen mast, which is fore-and- aft rigged. Most fully-rigged ships have three masts. You can also use the full rig to represent a square-rigged two-masted ship that also carries a small fore-and-aft sail, such as a brig. From the industrial era onwards, a full rig also includes "studding sails" that can be extended from the square-rigged masts using a system of booms and braces. Studding Sails If the vehicle has studding sails extended, the sailing rig's acceleration is multiplied by 1.2 – if using sails alone, this is a base speed increase of ×1.1. However, sail checks are made with disadvantage while studding sails are extended. Ships: Galleon, ship-of-the-line, frigate, corvette, clipper, barque, or brig. Barquentine (Renaissance) A barquentine is similar to a fully-rigged ship, but only the foremast is square-rigged. All other masts have fore-and-aft rigs. While a barquentine has three masts, this rig can be used to represent a two-masted ship ship with one square-rigged and one fore-and-aft masts, such as a brigantine. Ships: Barquentine, brigantine, bilander. Spinnaker (Industrial) A spinnaker is a sail designed to fill with wind like a kite, optimizing the ship's downwind speed. A spinnaker sail plan can represent any other rigs (such as gaff or bermuda) that uses a spinnaker as a headsail instead of a jib. Downwind Only The vehicle cannot sail close-hauled using a spinnaker sail plan. However, the crew can fold the spinnaker away and use only the mainsail: use the statistics for a fore-and-aft rig with half the normal acceleration. Sample file SAILING PLANS 3.

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).

  • USS CONSTELLATION Page 4 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form
    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 USS CONSTELLATION Page 4 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form Summary The USS Constellation’s career in naval service spanned one hundred years: from commissioning on July 28, 1855 at Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia to final decommissioning on February 4, 1955 at Boston, Massachusetts. (She was moved to Baltimore, Maryland in the summer of 1955.) During that century this sailing sloop-of-war, sometimes termed a “corvette,” was nationally significant for its ante-bellum service, particularly for its role in the effort to end the foreign slave trade. It is also nationally significant as a major resource in the mid-19th century United States Navy representing a technological turning point in the history of U.S. naval architecture. In addition, the USS Constellation is significant for its Civil War activities, its late 19th century missions, and for its unique contribution to international relations both at the close of the 19th century and during World War II. At one time it was believed that Constellation was a 1797 ship contemporary to the frigate Constitution moored in Boston. This led to a long-standing controversy over the actual identity of the Constellation. Maritime scholars long ago reached consensus that the vessel currently moored in Baltimore is the 1850s U.S. navy sloop-of-war, not the earlier 1797 frigate. Describe Present and Historic Physical Appearance. The USS Constellation, now preserved at Baltimore, Maryland, was built at the navy yard at Norfolk, Virginia.

  • The Poor Man's Ljungström
    The poor man’s Ljungström rig (.. or how a simplified Ljungström rig can be a good alternative on a small boat...) ..by Arne Kverneland... ver. 20110722 Fredrik Ljungström: Once upon a time there lived an extraordinary man in Sweden, named Fredrik Ljungström (1875 – 1964). Like his father and brothers he turned out to be an inventor, even greater than the others. Among his over 200patents (some shared with others) the most lucrative were probably efficient steam turbines to drive electric generators and locomotives (1920) and even more important, the rotating heat regenerator which cut the coal consumption on the steam engines with over 30% (around 1930). Going through the list of patents, it is clear that he must have been a real multi-genius (.. for more info, just google Fredrik Ljungström...). The Ljungström rig – the original: Being also a keen sailor, in 1935 Mr. Ljungström came up with another brilliant idea; the Ljungström rig (Lj-rig). He had learned how dangerous it could be to handle sail on the foredeck of a small boat and his solution was radical: The diagram above of a Ljungström rig is copied from the book “RACING, CRUISING and DESIGN by Uffa Fox. (ISBN 0-907069-15-0 in UK, 0-87742-213-3 in USA). Great reading! This is a one-sail rig set on a freestanding wooden mast (.. in later designs the aft stay was omitted). The luff boltrope of the doubled sail went in a track in the mast and just as today’s roller genoas it was hoisted in spring and lowered at the end of the season.

  • 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.
