Lazy Bag Installation Guide

INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE Lazy Bag Installation Guide © Neil Pryde Sails International 1681 Barnum Avenue Stratford, CONN. 06614 Phone: 203-375-2626 • Fax: 203-376-2627 Email: [email protected] Web: www.neilprydesails.com All material herein Copyright 2006-2007 Neil Pryde Sails International All Rights Reserved OVERVIEW The Neil Pryde Sails Mainsail Lazy Bag (MLB) is designed to be easily used and modular in design. It can conveniently be fitted and removed independently of the sail. • The MLB includes a zippered flap at the front of the bag that wraps around the mast to the opposite side of the bag and zippers closed. This is designed to reduce U.V. damage and keep birds from nesting inside the mainsail! • The front flap can be left in place while sailing, or folded back inside the bag and secured with a hook & loop strip. • The top zipper is also provided with a flap to help decrease water ingress. • The MLB is attached to the boom using slug/slides. The bag is NOT sewn between each slide so that rain water AND reefing lines can be led from the sail through the bag to the boom attachment points. • Two adjustable webbing straps provide Fore/aft tension; one strap is passed through the clew ring of the mainsail and the forward strap goes around the mast (and inside the halyards). The straps are inside the bag to reduce U.V. exposure and allow the bag to be pulled aft over the sail, covering it completely. A third strap at the front/top can be used to tighten up the forward girth of the bag.
Ready, Set, Go: Time to Start Sailing

05_791431 ch01.qxp 4/28/06 7:23 PM Page 9 Chapter 1 Ready, Set, Go: Time to Start Sailing In This Chapter ᮣ Exploring the essentials of beginning sailing ᮣ Dissecting the parts of a sailboat ᮣ Answering basic sailing questions ᮣ Describing where sailing can take you It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins, the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it — we are going back from whence we came. —John F. Kennedy ater covers nearly three-quarters of the planet. Over the course of Whuman history, the oceans (as well as lakes and rivers) have served as pathways upon which trade and civilization have developed. Getting away from shore, you feel a link to those ancient mariners who set off for undiscov- ered lands. When you’re flying across the water, you’re harnessing the same forces ofCOPYRIGHTED nature that powered the early explorers.MATERIAL Why are humans drawn to the sea? President John F. Kennedy had a poetic answer. Generations before you have felt the call of the wind and waves, beck- oning to accept their offer of unknown possibilities — adventure and serenity. Even in today’s high-tech, fast-paced world, sailing regularly rates high on poll- sters’ lists of desirable activities. So if you ever find yourself dreaming of pack- ing it all in and setting sail over the horizon or of simply having your own boat to sail near home on a warm, breezy afternoon, you’re not alone.
Mom and Pop Go Sailing

Mom and Pop Go Sailing Long after their new boat, Beowulf, was ready for sea, Skip and Linda Dashew held their patience and studied the weather maps. As the systems marched across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand and on into the Pacific, Skip said, "What we want is a big high to go through and then we will leave on the back of it." Nothing the matter with waiting for the right departure weather. After all, on a long passage, it is the only weather you get to choose. But, more than just comfort was at issue here. Their 80ft water-ballasted ketch is fleet-footed enough to keep pace with most weather systems. If they picked their departure right, they could ride the north-westerlies far out across the Pacific on their passage to the Austral Isles in the southern part of French Polynesia. With just the two of them on board, their goal was to reel off regular 300-plus mile days and, with the right conditions, there was every likelyhood they would achieve it. Skip likes to deprecate his latest creation as a "Mom and Pop motorsailor," but, in truth, it's much more than that. Having designed and built 45 yachts between 58-80 ft (probably the best known being their Deerfoot range) and having sailed just under 200k000 miles, Skip and Linda had an awful lot of experience to distill into Beowulf. The result is a quite singular yacht: long and lean with plumb bow and stern, a generous sailplan set on a ketch configuration of nearly equal masts - both of which carry asymmetrical spinnakers - and an articulating bowsprit to achieve the optimum angles downwind.

CLEARWATER is a wooden sailboat 106 feet (32.3 meters) long, with one mast 108 feet (32.9 meters) tall. One hundred and fifty years ago such boats were a common sight on the Hudson and Long Island Sound; now CLEARWATER is the only full-sized Hudson River Sloop in existence. You will help to sail her: raising the mainsail and taking a turn at her tiller. CLEARWATER is more than just a big sailboat, however. Her crew teaches people about the ecology of the River and the Harbor, and about problems created there when ecological relationships are ignored.
