The first leg is the St Helena Cup, followed by two very innovative courses the following weekend featuring optional simultaneous starts at either north or south of the river. The northern and southern courses overlap so both fleets will cross paths several times. The concept of these courses is the brainchild of Past Commodore Richard Jenkins and promises to be a lot of fun. The final weekend of the Spring Series will include the MCC triangles on Sunday the 23rd October. For the cruisers, THERE ARE SHORTENED COURSES, so find a crew and come sailing with the race fleet! OMR VIDEO The edited video of the OMR Review Committee information meeting is finally completed and is now available on the MYCQ website. Thanks to Sean for capturing the essence of the meeting, but a big thanks also to the OMR Committee members Alasdair Noble, Mike Hodges and Geoff Cruse for their easily understood presentation detailing the amendments to the OMR Rule. The video is worth watching. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Discussion is continuing on the proposed Multihull Yacht Association of Australia. There is interest from multihull owners in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, New South Wales, and Queensland. In my discussion with MYCQ members so far, the majority surveyed support the move, but there are some who do not. MYCQ Secretary Chris Wren met with Charles Meredith, the Commodore of the Multihull Yacht Club Victoria at Hamilton Island, then Lyn and I met with Charles at Runaway Bay last week for further informal discussions. Charles is the most active driver in establishing the National Association. A motion was passed at the September General Meeting directing the Management Committee to survey the membership on this matter. This has been delayed by the absence of so many of the Management Committee Members recently, but look for it soon. 3 From the Editor Welcome to another edition of the Multinews. This month we have a story from one of the club’s early members who has rejoined. He has written about his yacht the Ngalawa 7 which has the sail number M37 and so it was the 37th yacht to be registed with the Club. In international news there is the usual GC32s, Extreme Sailing, Americia’s Cup and the World Match Racing Series. I haven’t given an update on Facebook and Twitter for a while, so the latest numbers are; there are 449 people following the MYCQ on Facebook and 138 on Twitter. On our website, the page that had the largest number of views, this year, was the B2G tracker with 4,865 views followed by the B2G entrants list with 3,717 views Until next month, happy reading.

  • CAT CRAZY, TRI FI and Other Multihull Comparisons by Jim Brown
    CAT CRAZY, TRI FI And Other Multihull Comparisons By Jim Brown “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, quite so much worth doing as simply messing about in…” Multihulls! That paraphrased quote is pilfered for the most part from Ratty, the revered rodent in Kenneth Grahame’s venerated tale “The Wind in the Willows.” Of course, Grahame and Ratty said it of ordinary boats, and neither would have, even could have, said it of multihulls. But if Brown had been the author instead of Grahame, his character Ratty might have said something like, “There is nothing, absolutely nothing quite so creative as screwing around with multihulls.” By “screwing around,” Ratty would have spoken literally, meaning to conceive, gestate, whelp, wean and release upon the Earth’s fluid interface one’s very own flesh and blood multihulls. And that’, impatient reader, is what this appendix is about, so like most appendices reading it is strictly optional. In that you are reading on, please be prepared for some sacrilege. Suggesting there is something divine about boat design and construction I will try to trace multihull origins by expanding on the theorem expressed by my late friend Walt Glaser who said (in Chapter 1 of my memoir, “Among the Multihulls,”), “A man builds a boat to make up for the fact that he can’t build a baby… What else can a guy produce with his own body that so closely simulates a living thing?” It took me many years of both messing about in and screwing around with boats to apprehend this aspect of watercraft, and I admit that it still takes quite a stretch for me to accept the notion.

  • Fitting the Unstayed Mast Rig To
    ITTING THE UNSTAYED MAST RIG TO YOUR BOAT SOME POPULAR QUESTIONS ANSWERED: - . Will it suit any boat of any hull shape? - Yes, and will particularly aid shallow draft hulls of low ballast ratio as the flexibility of the mast reduces heeling in all conditions. 2. Can it be fitted to multihulls? - Yes, Trimaran installations are similar to monohulls. Catamarans can either have modified bridge decks to obtain sufficient bury of mast or fit a smaller mast in each hull. 3. Can I use my existing stayed rig mast?- No, with the exception of some solid timber Gaff rig masts. 4. Does the mast have to be keel stepped? - Preferably, but it can be fitted in a deck tabernacle. 5. Where is the mast stepped? - Approximately 2 to 4 feet forward of a stayed mast postion. 6. Does it have to be near a bulkhead? - No, as the load transmitted to the deck is not enormous. 7. What structural modifications will I have to make to my boat? - Probably increase the deck strength at the mast by adding:- - for GRP boats more layup of C.S. matt which will be hidden by the head lining under the deck. - for steel, alloy, ferrocement, timber boats, add a deck beam. The mast step only needs to be firmly secured to the keel and no extra reinforcement is necessary to be the boat's keel. - for sheeting to the pushpit, possibly, add a bracing strut across the existing tube, such as a sheet track. 8. How many sails and of what area should be used? - As a general rule:- For boats up to 30 ft., one sail is more ideal.

    An Obsessed Mariner's Notes on the Ningpo: A Vessel from the Junk Trade Explorations in Southeast Asian Studies A Journal of the Southeast Asian Studies Student Association Vol 1, No. 2 Fall 1997 Contents Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 Article 4 Article 5 Article 6 Article 7 Article 8 An Obsessed Mariner's Notes on the Ningpo A Vessel from the Junk Trade Hans Van Tilburg Hans Van Tilberg is a Ph.D. candidate in History and instructor of the maritime archaeology field school at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa. His research interests have focused on maritime history and underwater archaeology in Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. Notes The topic of Chinese shipping to and from Southeast Asia has fascinated me for quite a while now. One of the reasons I find it so interesting is that it's such a difficult subject to research. One of the main problems seems to be that many aspects of the private commercial sea-going trade simply went unrecorded. Often only the barest information of "size of ship" and "number of crew" was ever committed to register, while the efforts of ship construction, fitting out, manning, and the details of the actual voyages, remained known only at the village or family level. And as has been noted by many observers, officially the Chinese government had very little interest in the activities of those Chinese who went abroad, those who were foolish enough to want to travel so many miles away from home. Yet the influence of what is commonly known as the Junk Trade, especially in the eighteeth and nineteenth centuries, is no small subject.

  • * Omslag Dutch Ships in Tropical:DEF 18-08-09 13:30 Pagina 1
    * omslag Dutch Ships in Tropical:DEF 18-08-09 13:30 Pagina 1 dutch ships in tropical waters robert parthesius The end of the 16th century saw Dutch expansion in Asia, as the Dutch East India Company (the VOC) was fast becoming an Asian power, both political and economic. By 1669, the VOC was the richest private company the world had ever seen. This landmark study looks at perhaps the most important tool in the Company’ trading – its ships. In order to reconstruct the complete shipping activities of the VOC, the author created a unique database of the ships’ movements, including frigates and other, hitherto ignored, smaller vessels. Parthesius’s research into the routes and the types of ships in the service of the VOC proves that it was precisely the wide range of types and sizes of vessels that gave the Company the ability to sail – and continue its profitable trade – the year round. Furthermore, it appears that the VOC commanded at least twice the number of ships than earlier historians have ascertained. Combining the best of maritime and social history, this book will change our understanding of the commercial dynamics of the most successful economic organization of the period. robert parthesius Robert Parthesius is a naval historian and director of the Centre for International Heritage Activities in Leiden. dutch ships in amsterdam tropical waters studies in the dutch golden age The Development of 978 90 5356 517 9 the Dutch East India Company (voc) Amsterdam University Press Shipping Network in Asia www.aup.nl dissertation 1595-1660 Amsterdam University Press Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters The development of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) shipping network in Asia - Robert Parthesius Founded in as part of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of the Golden Age (Amsterdams Centrum voor de Studie van de Gouden Eeuw) aims to promote the history and culture of the Dutch Republic during the ‘long’ seventeenth century (c.

  • Lu Statement2 REDACTED
    Alice Lu 4/8/16 ANTHRO 1218 Building a Quick, Navigable Ship to Evade Enemies in the First Opium War Previously, you followed me on a journey to identify this ship model. Now, we are going to take what we learned about its role in the First Opium War to examine specific elements of ship construction. Knowing this Chinese junk fought in the First Opium War, we can extrapolate information about where it was built, how it was constructed based on the region, and if these construction techniques were effective. Since these junks fought in the First Opium War, they must have met requirements in order to be operational in naval warfare; as seen by various elements of this model’s construction, including hull shape, navigation, and propulsion systems, this ship was built to be strong, stable, and easily maneuverable, giving it an advantage in traditional oceanic warfare. From geographic information on the First Opium War as well as the shape and elements of the hull, we can categorize this vessel as a southeastern type of Chinese junk (either a fuchuan or guanchuan), which were known for their stability in rough seas. The fuchuan and guanchuan were both named after the region where it is built, the Fujian and Guandong provinces of southeastern China (Green, 2), where much of the First Opium War was fought (Figure 1). These ships were built for speed and navigating rough waters (Qiupeng, 496). This ship model has a long gu or keel timber painted red, running along the length of the boat; it also has a V-shaped hull, which matches descriptions of both a fuchuan and a guanchuan (Ward, 29-30; Davies, 207; Chen, 1; Green, 2) (Figure 2).

  • Ronan Shortpaper
    A Chinese War Junk of the Opium War Era John Henry Ronan, Jr. ANTHRO 1218 Artifact number 99-12-60/52938 sits in the storage of the Peabody Museum, listed only as “War Boat”. The ship model, roughly 2 feet long and a foot and a half high, features unique and prominent sails. These sails, known as Chinese lugsails or junk rigs, have timbers called battens running across their entire width. The battens give the sails a sturdy appearance, and make the sails easy to control in changing trade winds. Wicker shields also run along the port and starboard sides of the deck and a wicker canopy covers the ship’s stern. It is interesting to note that the wicker shields coexist with a breech loading cannon on the starboard side, as well as edged weapons at stern. The wicker shields would seemingly serve little use up against a cannon, and it is hard to believe that the two can coexist on a ship of the same era. The final initial observation is the unique deep keel and rudder, both of which have diamond shaped holes all along them. Taken together, these observations point to the ship being a Chinese Junk, and the heavy armaments on board (and the artifact’s title) point to the ship being a War Junk. Digging a little deeper, we can conclude that this ship model is likely an 1840 Chinese War Junk, like those that would have been used in the First Opium War (1839-1842). In many ways this ship model is representative of China in the mid 19th century, a country mired in antiquated traditions facing a growingly belligerent and technological advanced world.

Not very long since, there was exhib ited, near Hyde Park, a most interesting and valuable collection of Chinese curiosities. These, however, were things which could be put into packing cases, and transported, with comparative facility, from one part of the world to another : the difliculty of bringing them to England depended more upon the proprietors’ means than upon anything else.

Harbour Business Forum On-Site Liaison: Paul Zimmerman, Convener of Designing Hong Kong Harbour District Submitted by: Brian Berard Eric Rosendahl Jarrad Fallon Lucas Scotta Santiago Lora Alexander Wong Alexander Muir Becky Yang Submitted to: Project Advisor: Creighton Peet, WPI Professor Project Co-advisor: Andrew Klein, WPI Assistant Professor Project Co-advisor: Kent Rissmiller, WPI Professor Abstract Victoria Harbour is one of Hong Kong‟s greatest assets; however, the balance between recreational and commercial uses of the harbour favours commercial uses. Our report, prepared for Designing Hong Kong Ltd., examines this imbalance from the marine perspective. We audited the 50km of waterfront twice and conducted interviews with major stakeholders to assess necessary improvements to land/water interfaces and to provide recommendations on improvements to the land/water interfaces with the goal of making Victoria Harbour a truly “living” harbour. ii Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsor, Paul Zimmerman, for his help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.
