There are several ways to attach a sail to the boat. The mainsail is usually attached to a channel in the mast with a series of nylon slides sewn into the front edge of the sail. Some sails had a rope sewn into the front edge which can also be fed into track going up the mast. A third method is to have rings on the front edge of the sail which hold he main sail onto the mast.

The jib ( smaller front sail) is usually attached to the fore stay ( front wire support) with a series of metal clips. Both the Jib and the Main sails are hoisted using a halyard ( a line attached to a block ( pulley) at the top of the mast.

There are many modifications that can be done to make a 1995 Yamaha Vmax 600 snowmobile go faster. Some popular modifications include installing a performance exhaust, replacing the air filter, and installing a performance clutch. Installing lighter parts, such as replacing the stock skis, can also help improve the performance of the snowmobile.

Strictly speaking, a boat's sails serve to catch the wind, propelling the boat forward. They can be adjusted in a number of ways using things like sheets, halyards, topping lifts, cunninghams, and other lines. Sails are generally adjusted based on what direction the boat is facing relative to the wind, how windy it is, and how fast you want to go. Many small boats have two sails. The larger of these sails is generally called the mainsail. It is to the rear of the mast and is attached to the boom. In the average two-person skipper/crew setup, one of the skipper's duties is to control the mainsail. This is achieved via the main sheet, which is pulled in or let out based on how close (or far from) heading upwind the boat is. In general, the closer you are to upwind, the more the sails should be pulled in. The smaller of the two sails is generally called the jib. The crew controls the jib via the jib sheets, which are adjusted in nearly the same way as the main sheet. In addition, some small sailboats are equipped to fly a spinnaker. This sail is sometimes also called a chute because it looks like a parachute when full. The spinnaker is flown only when going downwind or nearly downwind, and is controlled by both the skipper and crew.

Yes, The Titanic,Britannic and Olympic. The Titanic has two sisters

Cosnidering the fact that ocean voyages ( particularily in wartime) can last for weeks, certaininly people died of natural causes during the Lenghty reign of the Ocean Liner Queen Mary, as is the case with Hotels. There were some in-service accidents involving damage-control drills that went awry- a man was killed by a closing emergency door in the shaft tunnel of the engine room during such a test- one hastens to add this is below the water line, such an accident would not have alarmed passengers, or affected them, it would be something like say a maintenance worker in a hotel having a hand truck heavily laden fall on him- bear in mind ships move and are in a dynamic medium, fully exposed to all the weathers. apart from natural causes- like folks passing on in hotel rooms- not an accident, and accidents involving operating personnel, these things were rare and the Ship was never involved in a (Titanic) sized marine accident.

Foggy conditions....a case of restricted visibility... according to International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea Rule 35... "A Power driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast."

So hearing a prolonged blast every 2 mins in restricted visibility we can deduce that its a power driven vessel making way through water.

If it is a US. vessel it depends on the certificate of inspection issued by the US Coast Guard. The USCG considers stability, and area of operation.

Step 1. Take the goat, leaving the wolf with the unappetising cabbage.

Step 2. Row back.

Step 3. Take the wolf.

Step 4. Row back with the goat. Leaving the wolf alone.

Step 5. Leave the goat and pick up the cabbage.

Step 6. Leave the cabbage with the wolf and row back.

Step 7. Pick up the goat, row across and continue with all three uneaten.

The Indian tribes they met and traded with taught them how to make canoes.

They technically do both, as they fly when moving (nothing needs to touch the ground) and hover when standing still (unless they are turned off). This is assuming, of course, that altitudes less than a foot are considered flying.

To add: hovercraft can lift off, without their skirt, as they make fond use of the so-called "ground effect", much like helicopters do at a greater altitude. They keep lifted by sitting on the rotation of air beneath the vehicle and move forward by propelling the air behind the vehicle, rather than sitting on a big, inflated balloon (like many people tend to think). The skirt only serves as a mean for stability.

Technically, the hovercraft does fly, but is not considered to be an aircraft, whereas it does not elevate to great heights. Thus it is called a "hovercraft". People who operate hovercrafts, however, are generally referred to as pilots.

Another name for a large (boat) ship apart from a cruise ship would be passenger ship and above that would be ocean liner. An ocean liner and a cruise ship are two different types of passenger ships.

they were couples

A ships hull is not entirely rust proof

It is usually protected with paint

Epoxy would work best

The anchor prevents a ship from drifting away due to the water currents or tide. A popular misconception is that the anchor itself acts as the main weight to "secure" the ship in its position. On an anchoring run, the ship would lay the anchor together with a length of its iron cables on the seabed. The length to be released would depend on factors such as the depth of the water etc. So it is not the weight of the anchor, but the weight of the huge iron cables connected to the anchor that "secures" the ship. The anchor's weight does play a role, but it is mainly used to grip or hook the iron cables to the seabed. A ship properly anchored would be held to a circular area, the radius defined by the length of the cable released. Also, occasionally, with strong currents, the ship could "drag anchor."

I cant name a list of all of the people, but I know that 704 people survived mostly 1st class but some 2nd and not alot of 3rd class.

Any of a set of lines on the hull of a merchant ship that indicate the depth to which it may be legally loaded under specified conditions. Also called load line, Plimsoll line.

To get a boat ride to the island, get the GameBoy-GameCube link cable and connect it to your Wii or GameCube with the GameBoy Advance turned on, then go to the bottom of your town (the beach) and you should see Kapp'n somewhere. He will give you a boat ride to the island.
