Sailing

Yes, they were.

A sailor will use a nautical chart and its compass rose. The tools he may use will either be a pair of triangles or a set of parallel rules.

The ideal weight to get maximum speed on a Laser is about 150 lb. There are a lot of variables but in very windy conditions you need at least that much weight to counter balance the boat. A lot also depends on your agility and skill in being able to hike over the side of the boat. In lighter winds or in any downwind tacks ( broad reach or run) the boat would be faster with a very light person ( small kid). The boat is very tender ( sensitive) to wind gusts so a very quick response is needed in gusty and strong wind conditions.

The boat is a lot of fun to sail and will plane ( skim on top of the water) very easily in strong winds. I used to demonstrate this boat when they first came out. An experienced sailor in a strong wind can get some incredible performance out of this very light boat.

The middle part of an oar is called a LOOM

"Port" is to the left of forward motion and "starboard" is to the right.

According to WikiPedia, the cup was originally known "as the “Royal Yacht Squadron Cup” or the “RYS Cup for One Hundred Sovereigns”. The Cup subsequently became known as the “One Hundred Guinea(s) Cup”, by the American syndicate that won it. As time went by, the Cup was also referred to as the “Queen’s Cup”, the “America Cup”, and the “America’s Cup”. Today, the trophy is officially known as the America’s Cup and affectionately called the “Auld Mug” by the sailing community."

Even though this isn't as cut and dry as some might think, for the simplicity of the question, it is safe to assume you have the right of way, since you are most likely seeing the starboard running lights of a vessel to your port. Having said that, you have NOT specified where the green light is at. Could it be that you are seeing a fishing vessel, underway engaged in trawling, which would display a green over white light.

That's really a matter of opinion & source for gambling. That's what makes horse races. And sailboat races.

You may mean "By and Large" - meaning steering a course as far downwind as possible, keeping the sails full and the boat speed up.

The answer above is completely wrong. One cannot sail both by and large at the same time since they mean opposite things.

Sailing by the wind (i.e., sailing by) means sailing as close to the wind as possible. In other words, sailing into the wind.

Sailing large means sailing before the wind. That is, sailing with the wind blowing from the aft quarter.

So it is impossible to sail both by and large at the same time since that would require sailing in two opposite directions at once.

There are too many variables associated with this question to answer it properly:

#1) The square footage of the area to be covered determines the amount of paint necessary.

#2) Cheap paint gives cheap results.

#3) The cost of paying the painter.

#4) The cost of keeping the boat out of water long enough to paint it.

The English

You should do the same in Oregon as you would anywhere else...display the appropriate navigational lights whenever the boat is operated between sunset and sunrise, or during periods of reduced visibility such as fog, rain or haze. Lights conforming to International Rules meet the requirements of Inland Rules. See the link below for more specific information on required navigational lights.

To claim the territories for their respective countries.

It is a type of sailing boat sail of triangular shape that is rigged in front of the mainsail.

Usually, this act is called Beating or sailing Close-hauled.

A spinnaker pole or a whisker pole.

A sailboat berth means a bed or sleeping quarters onboard. It can also refer to where the boat is docked, like "My boat is berthed in the Bahamas."

Numbers are always even on red buoys in the United States. 2,4,6,8, 10 and so forth. Not sure of letters, unless they are preferred channel markers which have horizontal red and green alternating bands and are always lettered.

The value of a 1983 Keith Reynolds autographed America's Cup serigraph depends on its condition. This item in mint condition is valued between 55.00 and 85.00 as of 2014.
