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 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.

For Session B Set One of the Two Buoys to Wind- Ward to Facilitate an Easy Beat and a Broad Reach Return Between Them
For session B set one of the two buoys to wind- ward to facilitate an easy beat and a broad reach return between them. Draw the circle on the white board to demon- strate the wind direction, the no sail zone, the need to sail to windward, and the sail set to the wind, and leeway. Explain that the boat will slip sideways when sail- ing to windward resulting in the straight line beat to the buoy being some- times unattainable. If there are windshifts a tack may therefore be necessary. In session B the instruc- tor is constantly reinforc- ing the concept that to windward the sail is set, the course adjusted to suit the wind direction. 7. Beating Continued… 7. We say pushing it back on course, as the boat will always be try- ing to point up into the wind and you hold a course by pushing down- wind on the joystick. This is the correct balance for a sailing boat and called "WEATHER HELM" - the boat wants to turn up into the weather. "LEE HELM" is when it wants to turn downwind. Reefing 1. Reeng is reducing the power generated by the sail. 2. Reeng is often necessary in strong winds and on our boats it is accomplished by pulling a cord which rotates the mast, rolling up the sail like a blind. 3. To reef, the port side (left side) reeng line is pulled with the left hand and is jammed in the clamcleat positioned on the console by your left knee. 4. The rst turn of the mast attens the sail which greatly reduces its power with little reduction in area.

The crunching sound that came from the keel trunk as the boat settled was alarming to say the least. Mike assessed the damage and found that the cable attachment fitting on the keel end of the cable had "flopped over" rather than finding its way into the cable hole.

CSC DINGHY SAILING MANUAL February 2021 Introduction
CSC DINGHY SAILING MANUAL February 2021 Introduction There's no substitute for actual sailing if you want to learn to sail. This booklet is only intended as a technical reference, to reinforce sailing lessons. If you're new to sailing, relax—you're in good company. Most new members of the Cal Sailing Club do not know how to sail when they join. Put this book down until later, and go sailing. Credits Editor: John Bongiovani Author: John Bergmann Change History Anonymous. First published Edition. The club began about a century ago as an offshoot of a loose association of UC students and professors who were interested in sailing. Perhaps there was a manual—who knows? A manual for sailing was put together using a typewriter and hand drawn pictures, distributed in booklet format. The most memorable part was a cartoon telling how to get onto a Lido from the water, showing a shark. Fitting conveniently in a pocket, most copies were turned into pulp during the new owner's first lesson. Sometime in the 1970s. Various minor changes stemming from disputes over gybing and other pettifoggery. Sometime during the disco era. The advent of the computer in revising the manual, but keeping the same organization. Major discovery: pdf's don't fit in pockets. Sometime in the Clinton era. Major revisions to reflect the end of the Lido, which had served the club (poorly) since 1959. Sometime in the Bush II years V11. Joel Brandt June, 2011 Dinghy Manual. Cal Sailing Club February 2021 Page 2 V12 John Bergmann, updated content and format, added detail on the RS Ventures, March, 2016 V13 Made corrections, added content on Quests, added more figures, and added a table of figures.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] , [email protected] May 9, 2018 Abstract This paper presents the extensive review on modelling and control of non linear autonomous sailboat system us- ing Conventional PID controller (CPID) and PID controller with Particle swarm optimization technique (PSO).A large heeling angle, a lot of rolling motion due to wind rush can cause the boat to capsize. Sailboats cannot move in the up- wind direction so one has to move in a zigzag pattern to sail in the up-wind direction. This mainly focuses on the way of lively controlling the sail angle and rudder angleof the sail- boat to reduce the heeling angle and rolling motion caused by the wind. The sail angle is optimized and rudder angle is controlled for the given wind direction and desired moment. The main object is to allow long permanence autonomous mission. Key Words:Sailboat, sail angle, rudder angle. 1 International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue 1 Introduction Sailboat played an important role for mankind.
