Boat Plans Pdf | San Diego Yacht Club Hot RUM Series

Boat Plans Pdf

This year the "Hot RUM Series" had 130 entered boats, in six classes.
Velos is a Tanton 73 based in San Diego.
The 28 years old girl is still going strong, but it is all about the wind. For instance. First race: positions, first in class, 8 in fleet. Second race: very light wind. Only 57 boats finished and Velos ended up 28. Third race: nice breeze; Velos, first to finish and first in fleet.
It is hard to have a career based on the vagaries of the wind !

Pontoon Boat Plans | Otter Week – Royal Corinthian Yacht Club

Pontoon Boat Plans

From what I saw as a spectator, the Otter Week organized by the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club made a great start today. Conditions couldn’t have been more perfect.

Otter Week, this year runs from 9^th to 14^thAugust, and it is for youngsters between the ages of 6 and 18 years. There’s a very full programme of events, not just sailing, but activities that would excite and reward those taking part, such as bowling, fancy dress, and an inflatable event. On top of that there’s a roast hog meal, and an Izumi oriental meal. The kids will have a fantastic time.

Boat Plans At Mystic Seaport | How to club haul your square rigger

Boat Plans At Mystic Seaport

ANY SAILOR with an enquiring mind will probably know what it means to club haul a ship. I’m afraid I did not; not, that is, until my copy of The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea fell out of its bookcase. It lay there, stranded on its back on the floor, open to the Cs. The sidehead “Club Haul” stared me in the face.

Well, well, what do you know. To club haul a ship is a method of tacking a square-rigged ship in a narrow space, according to the battered Companion. You accomplish this by letting go the lee anchor from the bow. But you lead the anchor line aft and stop it on the quarter as soon as the wind is out of the foresails.

“As the ship gathered sternway, the pull of the anchor brought her head around on the other tack, and the anchor hawser was cut,” says the good book.

“This method was only used in an emergency in heavy weather and when the ship was embayed. The most famous example of club hauling a ship was in 1814 when Captain Hayes extricated HMS Magnificent, a ship of the line, from almost certain capture by the French at the Basque Roads.

“It was blowing a full gale and, with the lower yards and topmasts struck, Hayes found himself trapped between two reefs. He got to sea again by club hauling the ship, and was known as ‘Magnificent Hayes’ from that day on.”

The Companion seems compelled to point out that you shouldn’t try this at home. “It is not applicable to a fore-and-aft rigged vessel, which does not normally gather sternway when head to wind while tacking,” it says.

Well, I don’t know. It might be fun to try. If you can afford to kiss your anchor goodbye, that is.

Today’s Thought

Good seamanship involves recovering  from a dangerous incident at sea. Great seamanship consists of avoiding dangerous incidents at sea.

"What made him ill?"
"Oh, nothing in particular, sir, just things in General."
