    CSC DINGHY SAILING MANUAL January 2019 Introduction Thereʹs 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 youʹre new to sailing, relax—youʹre 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. Fi.ing conveniently in a pocket, most copies were turned into pulp during the new owners first lesson. Sometime in the 1970s. 4arious minor changes stemming from disputes over gybing and other pe.ifoggery. Sometime during the disco era. The advent of the computer in revising the manual, but keeping the same organization. Major discovery: pdfs dont fit in pockets. Sometime in the Clinton era. Major revisions to re6ect the end of the Lido, which had served the club 7poorly8 since 1959. Sometime in the Bush II years 411. Joel Brandt June, 2011 Dinghy Manual. Cal Sailing Club January 2019 Page 2 412 John Bergmann, updated content and format, added detail on the R 4entures, March, 2016 413 Made corrections, added content on Quests, added more figures, and added a table of figures.

  • Excerpts from a Sailor's Wind Journal
    A Fine Reach Home: Excerpts from a Sailor’s Wind Journal Lynn Fels English Bay, 1976, International 14 We surface amidst sodden sails, shouting in surprise and haste. “Are you okay?” “Where are you?” “Hang on to the gunwale, no wait, swim the bow into the wind, now swim over here, we’ll bring her up together.” Martin and I, skipper and crew, throw our weight onto the centerboard. The boat reluc- tantly responds, the mast tilting skyward, rising from the sea. I taste the salt of ocean spray that catches me unaware after so many years of sailing fresh-waters. Equilibrium restored, seawater emptying through the automatic bailers, our sailboat moves across the water in ecological tension between human, craft, wind, and geography. Martin tends to the navigation, attentive weight- ing of hand on tiller, as I set the jib and cleat the sheet. Shifting body weight, secured by the trapeze,I feel the arc of body, an embodied inter- pretation of movement in response to the wind’s presence in the tautness of the sails. Sailing in the various conditions of wind requires an instinctive chore- ography of release and defiance, surrender and embrace, by skipper and crew. 180 Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 13 (2), 2008 This is what holds me to task, as I swing in and out of the boat secured to the mast by the trapeze wire that holds me in place. “Wind’s coming! Trapeze!” Martin yells, but I am already in concert with the wind, welcoming its arrival, anticipating its departure. Sailing, a harnessing of wind with canvas to propel a sailboat across dis- tances of water, in winds shaped by landforms, airflow and temperature, requires constant renegotiation by skipper and crew in response to the wind’s changeable presence.

  • Monohull Vs Catamaran
    MONOHULL VS CATAMARAN Who do you trust? The boating press? They have obligations to their advertisers. Did you ever see a bad boat review? Your friendly Boat Broker/Dealer? Why do their positions seem so aligned with their products? They sell Catamarans only? They’re the best. They sell monohulls only? They’re the best. How about your friend whose HEARD THINGS. But who has sailed monohulls for the last 20 years. He can certainly tell you about those Catamarans! We sell and sail both Catamarans and Monohulls. We run charter companies featuring both. We hire captains who deliver both. Visit factories for both. Talk to designers for both. This presentation will be based on our experiences with both types of boats. We sell both about equally and have little to gain promoting one over the other. In addition to our personal experiences, I will relate what we’re told by transatlantic delivery captains. By owners and charterers. By designers. I firmly believe that when something is right, it makes perfect sense. I hope that you will find that this discussion makes sense. In the end, you have to decide WHAT MAKES SENSE. In this presentation, I’m talking strictly about boats that make sense for living aboard and offshore sailing. Not daysailors. Not racers. Serious cruisers… As I advocate or negate each category I switch hats. Talking from that camps point of view, but modifying my remarks with our personal experience. In all cases we assume a well designed state of the art boat oriented towards our purposes mentioned above.

    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.
