Rigging Guide Viola 14 Lug Rig
Rigging Guide Viola 14 Lug Rig The Balanced Lug Rig The balanced lug rig is often chosen by small boat designers for having the following favourable characteristics: Traditional in appearance Cheap to rig Easy home construction of the spars involved Relatively short spars for a given sail area Powerful sail that is easy to control for the sail being self-vanging Very quickly to raise and to strike the sail (important for sail & oar use as well as emergencies). Good sail shape, also when reefed The lug rig is a very good choice for the Viola canoe if looking for a versatile rig that can easily be reefed, also on the water. It is excellent for touring or camp-sailing. The picture below shows the definitions used throughout this document for the various parts of a balanced lug rig. Making the Mast Mast sections are to be made of 6000 series T6 series aluminium tubes. The instructions for making the shoulder and bearings on the top mast section by using glass tape epoxied to the mast and a short section of aluminium tube of the same diameter as the bottom mast section for the shoulder (to ensure that the top mast section sits well in the bottom section) can be found in the Viola 14 plans. Dimensions/details bottom mast section: Length 2450mm Outside diameter 60mm Inside diameter 56mm (2mm wall thickness) Centre halyard cleat 550mm from the bottom of the mast. Bolt or rivet the halyard cleat to the mast. Optional saddle just above mast partner level for the dagger board elastic.

Setting, Dousing and Furling Sails The perception of risk is very important, even essential, to Organization the sense of adventure and the success of our program.

The trained crew, the crew may be able to be broken balancing of these seemingly into two groups, one for the foremast and one conflicting needs is one of the for the mainmast. With small crews, it will most difficult and demanding become necessary for everyone to know and tasks you will have in working work all of the lines anywhere on the ship. In with this program. any event, particularly if watches are being set, it becomes imperative that everyone have a good understanding of all lines and maneuvers the ship may be asked to perform. Safety Sailing the brigantines safely is our primary goal and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute has an enviable safety record. We should stress, however, that these ships are NOT rides at Disneyland. These are large and powerful sailing vessels and you can be injured, or even killed, if proper procedures are not followed in a safe, orderly, and controlled fashion. As a crewmember you have as much responsibility for the safe running of these vessels as any member of the crew, including the ship’s officers. 1. When laying aloft, crewmembers should always climb and descend on the weather side of the shrouds and the bowsprit.

Roberts Ramble - Volume II August 2020 Sailing, the Mighty Metedeconk and Quality of Life
Roberts Ramble - Volume II August 2020 Sailing, The Mighty Metedeconk and Quality of Life So one of the things I’ve learned these past few months is that I shouldn’t commit to write something on a monthly basis, which is what I said I would do in my last (and first) Ramble back in May, unless I’ve got a plan for doing that. So my apologies for the delay and going for- ward I’ll be Rambling when the spirit moves me rather than try to force something on a monthly basis. Note that I had a couple false starts with this the past few months, but it’s another Sunday morning, August 30th... can’t believe September is here, and I’m ready to Ramble! On the business front, it’s been great to connect with our clients again the past few months, albeit via Zoom or phone. I much prefer to meet face to face, but I’m finding that these video chats are working well. Contrary to my preconceived notions, I don’t mind them at all. There really is an efficiency to using this technology, both for our clients and for us, and it’s just as effective. We will get back to hosting in office meetings when the time is right, but I fully expect that we will continue using video technology as a mode of client communication and service. Of course your point of view on this is important to us and while the feedback to date has been positive, if you have any questions or concerns, please share that with us.

Setting up Shrouds with Deadeyes and Lanyards
ADVISORY BOARD Mr Greg Adams Adcast Consolidated Pty Ltd Mr Alan Hurst Yaringa Boat Sales Mr Peter Tardrew Quarterdeck Marine Pty Ltd Mr Tom Whitfield T&C Whitfield Boatbuilders WOODEN BOAT FITTINGS 43 FINCHAM CRESCENT WANNIASSA, ACT 2903, AUSTRALIA TEL: +61 2 6296 1409 EMAIL: [email protected] WEB: www.woodenboatfittings.com SETTING UP SHROUDS WITH DEADEYES AND LANYARDS ——————————————————-- HOW TO RIG DEADEYES & LANYARDS ——————————————————-- Extracted from Hervey Garrett Smith, “The Arts of the Sailor” ============================================= Although this ancient art of the rigger is considered obsolete by many present-day yachtsmen, such is far from true, for deadeyes and lanyards are still being used in all manner of sailing craft, being particularly appropriate in the traditional types-such as the Friendship sloops, the Chesapeake bugeyes, or the skipjacks. While their salty, old-fashioned appearance may have been the factor that has induced more than one sentimental yachtsman to adopt them, from the standpoint of practicability they have sufficient merit in their own right to justify their use in any craft of a suitable type. There are two reasons why I feel some discussion of this uncommon art is in order: in the first place, specific, authentic information on the subject is not within easy reach of everyone, and secondly, there is a great deal of misunderstanding as to their practical application in the modern yacht. The principal advantage gained by setting up standing rigging with lanyards is elasticity. This is particularly desirable in yachts that are broad of beam, having high initial stability, and heavily sparred. The resiliency of such a rig makes a yacht easy on her gear, for spars and rigging can flex and give with every sudden strain.
