Vogel, 2210 Finland Road, Canoe Sailor 46 page 2 Green Lane, PA 18054 http://canusail.org/ Building and Sailing a Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe, by Larry Haff, I’m not sure what led to building my Hawaiian outrigger canoe Nai’A (dolphin) except I was looking for something completely different. I was led to the book Building Outrigger Sailing Canoes with full sized plans, by Gary Dierking in New Zealand (see diagram, reprinted with the permission of the author). He describes three different models of which I choose the Ulua (Trevally fish). This design was inspired by Hawaiian outrigger canoes but with some modern enhancements. It can be paddled, sailed, surfed or outboard powered. It is a tacking rig, much like an ACA sailing canoe, not a proa which must be shunted. The hull is rounded, which enhances speed. But this shape provides little lateral resistance, so a pivoting leeboard has been added for good windward performance. The boat steers with a paddle, or a steering oar, or a rudder. Watertight bulkheads fore and aft provide reserve buoyancy. The ama (outrigger) provides stability but if built hollow can also carry ballast or cargo. A very small, optional ama is installed on the reverse side, called a safety ama, which does not normally touch the water but prevents a possible capsize on the other side. I made my safety ama from a fishing rod case filled with foam.A hiking seat is used when the wind is coming from the side of the ama. The sailing rig is a modern Hawaiian type with a crab claw sail. A brailing line folds up the boom parallel to the mast for quick furling and reefing. A secondary objective of mine was to use as many ACA sailing canoe parts as possible. I found l could use the 4 meter ACA sail and mast (see photo), or the 5 meter ACA sail and mast, as well as the 65 square foot crabclaw sail (made for me by Douglas Fowler, of Ithaca, NY, see photo). My sailing canoe leeboard worked just fine. The sailing canoe rudder turned out to be a little too small in area and depth for effective tacking, so I made a slightly bigger one for the outrigger. The hull was made with cedar strips planked over wooden molds, much the same as a normal canoe. The ama was made the same way and turned out to be a little more difficult to build than the hull, due to the much lower radius of curvature. It was made from ½ inch wide bead-and-cove strips instead of the more normal ¾ inch strips. The iakos (crossbeams) were curved and made with laminated strips of mahogany. Overall, building this boat was about twice as much work as building a single hulled sailing canoe from scratch. How well does it sail? The hull without the ama has no stability at all, since its shape is almost round. With the ama, it has so much stability one can fairly comfortably stand up in the boat. Capsizing to the ama side is virtually impossible. On the other tack, the seat on the ama side is fairly far out from the hull, providing great leverage. In low wind, one can simply sit comfortably deep in the hull on either tack. Tacking is slower than with a sailing canoe as you have to drag the ama around, so one must turn the rudder over fairly sharply. Due to its drag the boat naturally tacks quicker to the ama side than the other side. I generally prefer using a rudder for steering, but it needs to be fairly large in area to have enough leverage, especially since it is mounted on the rear iako (crossbeam), not the stern. With a length of shockcore, the rudder is self-centering so the boat can sail straight some distance without rudder input. Instead, an 8- 10 foot steering oar can be mounted at the same position which gives greater leverage, and can also be used to scull or Canoe Sailor 46 page 3 http://canusail.org/ tHE CRAB CLAW SAIL. to prevent going into irons, but it is not self-centering. Sailing with the 65 sq. foot crabclaw sail is different than with a Marconi or lateen sail. The effectiveness of the sail is fairly insensitive to the sheeting angle. It is very high up to grab the wind and the boom is also high and very long, which would be unstable in a monohull. Sheeting in more than necessary shifts the center of effort substantially and causes leeward helm, and vice versa. So steering is a combination of weight distribution, leeboard position, sail position, and rudder position. The sail can be quickly reefed by pulling up the boom with the brailing line, and fully up is the standard reefed position for launching and landing the boat. Sailing on the whole is more relaxing than with an ACA sailing canoe, although speeds up to 12 knots have been reported with this model. Up to now, when sailing with the outrigger with ACA sailing canoes in moderate winds I have found overall speed to windward about the same as 5 meter ACA sailing canoes, although I am still learning how to sail it. Disaster strikes! On my trip to Wye Island during the Midatlantic Small Craft Messabout (with Bill and John in sailing canoes), my windsurfing mast snapped in moderate winds and I had to be towed back to the museum. The graphite mast was very old and probably previously repaired, so I don’t think this indicates a design flaw. However, I think that a windsurfing mast is probably only marginally adequate to support the 65 sq. ft. crabclaw sail. I have since replaced it with a more robust aluminum mast. I also broke the connection of the ama to the aiko the following day and had to be rescued. This has also been beefed up and more foam added to the boat for increased flotation. Failure of attachment of the ama is more serious as the boat has no stability without the ama properly attached. Overall, a Hawaiian outrigger takes a little more time to set up and transport than a monohull sailing canoe. The main hull weighs about the same as an ACA sailing canoe and so can be car topped together with the ama. As I get older it may become more frequently trailered. It requires about ten minutes more time to put together or take apart. Frankly, I’d rather keep it together, stored on a sandy beach. Right now the sandy beaches are all under a foot of snow.

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).

  • SLACKTIDE's Sea Trials: Breaking in Our T26x7 Part
    SLACKTIDE's Sea Trials: Breaking in our T26x7 Dave Zeiger © 2010 www.TriloBoats.com Part 1 of 4 Introduction Anke and I have just completed our first season's cruising SLACKTIDE in SE Alaskan waters. She's a 26' x 7' x 1', engine-free, junk ketch-rigged sailing barge of my design (plans and more pics at our website). She's not one of those curvacious barge-babes, either, but a four-square and unrepentant box barge. Years ago I read that it was once common to convert smallish box barges, originally built to service bridges, into sailing cruisers. My memory paraphrases the passage thus: These little yachts, generally gaff-rigged and sporting leeboards, were surprisingly beloved by their owners. They could be found tucked away in backwaters one would think only accessible to more able vessels.1 1 I think I read this in a book on small boat conversions, but have lost the source. If you know it, please drop me a line at [email protected]. --Thanks! I skimmed that passage in passing, along with its appealing pen and ink sketch of one, anchored in obvious contentment. Interesting, but I'd never seen such a barge – they seem to belong to times past. Yet the memory lay dormant for two decades before pushing through the mud of my id. Being by nature a penny pinching breed of sloth, I was finally led by circuitous routes back to the box barge. Plywood replaces the planks of yore, but like their inspirators, TriloBoats are, as boats go, extremely cheap and easy to build.

  • A Comparative Evaluation of a Hydrofoil-Assisted Trimaran
    COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF A A HYDROFOIL-ASSISTED TRIMARAN Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING By Ryno Moolman Supervisor Prof. T.M. Harms Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Stellenbosch Co-supervisor Dr. G. Migeotte CAE Marine December 2005 Declaration I, the undersigned, declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and has not previously, in its entirety or in part, been submitted at any University for a degree. Signature of Candidate Date i Abstract This work is concerned with the design and hydrodynamic aspects of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran. A design and configuration of a trimaran is evaluated and the performance of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran is effectively compared to the performance of a hydrofoil-assisted catamaran with similar overall displacement and same speed. The performance of the trimaran with different outrigger clearances are also evaluated and compared. The hydrodynamic aspects focuses mainly on the performance and to a lesser extend on the sea-keeping and stability of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran. The results were determined by means of experimental testing, theoretical analysis and numerical analysis. The project was initiated as a result of the success of the hydrofoil-assisted catamarans and due to the fact that there does not exist a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran (to the author’s knowledge) where the main focus of the foils is to significantly reduce the resistance. A brief history, recent developments and associated advantages regarding trimarans are discussed. A complete theoretical model is presented to evaluate the lift and drag of the hydrofoils, as well as, the resistance of the trimaran.

  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.
