ADTEETISEMEIiJ^T. This second edition of the Naval Text-Book, is prepared, as was the first, for the use of the Midshipmen of the Navy. Many inaccuracies and typographical errors have been corrected, and additional matter introduced. The Stationing Tables, and the Naval Gun Exercise, I have omitted, the former because imperfect, and circumstances pre- clude my substitution of more extended ones at present ; the latter, because the " Ordnance Instructions" supply an exercise by authority. I have but to hope that this edition may be acceptable to those for whose use it is prepared. — CONTENTS. Page. Dbdioation 5 Inteoduotiok. To the Midshipmen of the United States N'avy. 13 CHAPTER I.

  • Armed Sloop Welcome Crew Training Manual
    HMAS WELCOME ARMED SLOOP WELCOME CREW TRAINING MANUAL Discovery Center ~ Great Lakes 13268 S. West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

  • Terminology of Yacht Parts, Fittings, Sails & Sheets Etc
    Terminology of yacht parts, fittings, sails & sheets etc. Some of the obvious, and not so obvious, parts encountered on model yachts (and full size yachts). Bowsie, flat. Small drilled ‘plate’ through which runs a line, or cord, for adjustment of that line. Pre-war bowsies were often made in ivory, some were made in a fine plywood; today hard plastic is used. Bowsie, ring . A circular version of the flat bowsie, usually for larger yachts such as the A-class. Deck eye. An eye on a horizontal plate with fixing holes, located on the deck. Normally used for accepting backstay/forestay attachment, also shroud attachment on smaller yachts. Eyebolt. An eye, at the end of a threaded spigot, or bolt. Eyelet, sail. A sail eyelet is a brass part, in the shape of a ‘funnel’ before compression, and when pressed into a hole in a sail it makes a firm metal ring. It is then used to facilitate making off a line (or on occasions a wire hawser in full size practise). Larger/stronger eyelets used on laying up covers for full size boats, were turnovers , where a brass ring was firstly sewn in place over a hole punched in the sail or sheet, the turnover (eyelet) was then hammered in place using a rawhide mallet and dies. It made an immensely strong eyelet. Ferrule (slang, crimp). A brass ferrule, or sleeve, which when made off on one end of a wire, secures/attaches it by means of a loop made in the wire to a fitting or line. Head crane.

  • Mast Furling Installation Guide
    NORTH SAILS MAST FURLING INSTALLATION GUIDE Congratulations on purchasing your new North Mast Furling Mainsail. This guide is intended to help better understand the key construction elements, usage and installation of your sail. If you have any questions after reading this document and before installing your sail, please contact your North Sails representative. It is best to have two people installing the sail which can be accomplished in less than one hour. Your boat needs facing directly into the wind and ideally the wind speed should be less than 8 knots. Step 1 Unpack your Sail Begin by removing your North Sails Purchasers Pack including your Quality Control and Warranty information. Reserve for future reference. Locate and identify the battens (if any) and reserve for installation later. Step 2 Attach the Mainsail Tack Begin by unrolling your mainsail on the side deck from luff to leech. Lift the mainsail tack area and attach to your tack fitting. Your new Mast Furling mainsail incorporates a North Sails exclusive Rope Tack. This feature is designed to provide a soft and easily furled corner attachment. The sail has less patching the normal corner, but has the Spectra/Dyneema rope splayed and sewn into the sail to proved strength. Please ensure the tack rope is connected to a smooth hook or shackle to ensure durability and that no chafing occurs. NOTE: If your mainsail has a Crab Claw Cutaway and two webbing attachment points – Please read the Stowaway Mast Furling Mainsail installation guide. Step 2 www.northsails.com Step 3 Attach the Mainsail Clew Lift the mainsail clew to the end of the boom and run the outhaul line through the clew block.

  • Pennsylvania
    Spring 1991 $1.50 Pennsylvania • The Keystone States Official Boating Magazine Viewpoint Recently we received a letter suggesting that we were being contradictory in Boat Pennsylvania. According to one reader, we suggested that boaters wear personal flota- tion devices, but that the magazine photographs don't always show their use. Obtaining photographs for a magazine can be a difficult proposition. Sometimes we stage situations and take the photographs ourselves. More often, we rely on photographs submitted by contributors. Photos that depict the general boating public often do not show people wearing PFDs simply because the incidence of wearing them is so low. If we were to say that we would only use photos that showed boaters wearing PFDs, we would have a difficult time fmding acceptable photos. Generally, we try to show people wearing PFDs in small boats in situations in which devices should obviously be worn. On large boats, people most often do not wear their PFDs. Should people wear PFDs? Statistics show that wearing a PFD can save your life. Are PFDs needed all the time? Because accidents happen when they are least expected, wearing a PFD all the time is a good idea. Practically, however, as comfortable as the newest PFDs are, they can be excruciating on a hot July day. Many boaters also want to get a little sun. We accept this and our statistics show that the chances of having an accident where a PFD would have been a factor are much lower in the summer months. Ofcourse, circumstances do exist in which wearing a PFD,even on the hottest day, is warranted.

    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I LIBRARY AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF HAWAIIAN CHRISTIANITY IN THE PAST AND THE PRESENT A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ANTHROPOLOGY May 2003 By Akihiro Inoue Dissertation Committee: Alice G. Dewey, Chairperson C. Fred Blake Christine R. Yano David L. Hanlon Jonathan K. K. Osorio © Copyright 2003 by Akihiro Inoue iii ToSakae, Akinari, Eiji and Ayumi IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My deepest thanks and respect are owed to those who willingly complied with my request for an interview and gave me various inspiring talks. Some ofthem are affectionately called kahu among their congregations, others work hard as church members to contribute to their churches. Whether they are Hawaiian or not, I understand that they are leading a Christian life, which I can learn much from. All of those who shared their perspectives with me in my interviews stimulated me to probe into the problem offaith, which I must deal with personally as well as academically. I refrain from identifying them in order to maintain their anonymity, and only give most of them the general term of "Christian Hawaiians," which certainly obscures the significant diversity oftheir personality. If they are not convinced by the way their narratives were interpreted, I will have to engage in further dialogue in order to answer to them. I extend my hearty thanks to members ofmy dissertation committee. Due to personal circumstances that I had to return to Japan before completing my research, and because of my slow pace of writing, I was not able to hold the original committee.

  • Cape Cod Catboat
    Cape Cod Catboat Instructions: Follow these instructions carefully and step by step. The rigging lines of the boat could tangle easily so do not undo the lines until instructed. 1. Unwrap the hull and stand. Place the hull into the stand with the hull facing forward to your right. Keep the starboard side of the boat facing you in order to follow the instructions and to compare with the diagrams. 2. Study brass eye “A” and the cleats on the boat. There are 7 cleats on this model but we will only be using 3-7. They each have a fixed position that corresponds to different rigging lines and sail sheets of the boat. See diagram (1). 3. Unwrap the packing of the mast; find brass eyes G1, G2, G3, G4, & G5 on the mast. The brass eyes must face towards the stern of the boat. Insert the mast into the mast step on the deck. 4. Unpack the sail. You may want to press the sail with an iron to get out any wrinkles. Find the headstay line on the front top portion of the mast. Attach the line to eye A on the bow. See diagram (1). 5. Put the gaff jaw at the end of gaff pole to brass eye M on the mast. Then find a pin at the end of the boom, insert the pin to a brass hole about 1 inch up the mast from the deck. Find a block with hook on the topping lift line. Attach the hook of the line to eye G1, then lead the line down the mast and through an eye at the bottom of the mast, starboard side, then fix the end of the line to cleat 4 on the cockpit bulkhead.
