Sailing

That a power driven ship is headed right for you. The green and red lights are the navigational side lanterns and the white light is the top light.

on the top of the sides

Yes. Oars are like levers. As Archimedes said: "Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world." It may not be the best way to drive a sailboat (why not use the sails?), but in an emergency, or where there is no wind, it may be the only alternative to an outboard motor. Many sailboats are equiped with oars or paddles for emergencies.

Charles Darwin set sail on HMS Beagle on 27 December 1831 from Plymouth.

One can find information on sailing on a laser dinghy by going to a sailing club meeting or by reading newsletters put out by members of the club. One can also find information on the internet.

You can sail anywhere on any size boat, although for one for a long voyage probably one that you will be comfortable on for a long time.

The Penguin Sailboat is a one design single sail 11 foot 5 inch dinghy that was designed by Philip L. Rhodes in 1938-1939 at the request of a group of sailors in the Chesapeake Bay area. Additional information can be obtained from the "International Penguin Class Dinghy Association" (IPCDA).

Not sure what you're looking for, but small boats can be "beached." Larger boats are "docked." A specific spot for one's boat can also be referred to as a "slip." Then there are places to tie up while afloat such as mooring buoys, rafts, and of course, you can always drop an anchor. Hope that helps.

Most modern sailboats are using low stretch braided materials for halyards rather than wire. Modern halyards have a terrific strength to weight ratio, and they don�t chew up your hands like wire. However, these materials are less resilient to "UV" damage than wire. One way to extend the life of halyards is to keep them out of the sun when they are not in use. One way to do this is to fasten a sacrificial line to the end of the halyard and hoist it to full hoist. Secure the remaining portion of the line to the base or to a lifeline or toe rail. The tail end of the line that you now have exposed may then be placed into a bag made of UV resistant material such as "Sunbrella" or "acrylon". Your local sail maker should have this material in stock, and I am sure that they will be happy to make you a halyard bag. Good luck!

When first buying the line, calculate the amount you need, and add 30 inches or so.

At the start of each season, cut 3-5 inches off the line before tying it onto your sail.

This will keep a fresh portion running over the sheeve (wheel) after you have raised the sail.

Not doing this allows the same stressed out few inches of line to be positioned over the most stressed points, including ther winch, deck hardware, etc.

If you have a sailboat that has a wire halyard line (which is NOT uncommon as 1 says), you can prevent sea corrosion by hoisting yourself in a bosun's chair up the mast with a can of WD40 spraying it all the way up and down the line. WD40 blocks corrosion as well as lubricates.

Most cruising sailoboats have a mono-hull.

Cruising sail boat owners try not to spend their entire lives at the helm so a good autopilot or self-steering mechanism are often used. To keep the sail boat heading steady, a deep and long (or full) keel is desirable. The keel is the bottom of the hull.

However, lots of cruising sailors want to get in close to shore so a deep keel will be a hindrance. By making the keel less deep, the sail boat will tend to drift down wind more. One way to have a shallow AND a deep keel is to use a drop board or a swing keel. This is where the shallow (not so deep) keel has a board that either pulls straight up (to get in close to shore) or it swings on a hinge up inside the keel.

That's for the keel. Another consideration for a type of hull is the beam. If the sail boat is too wide, it will be very stable... both right side up AND upside down. Cruising sail boats on the wide open ocean would not want a very wide hull. But, so too, people living on a cruising sail boat don't want too narrow of a beam, either.

The final consideration for a hull type on a cruiser is what it is made of. Most modern sail boats are constructed of fiberglass. They are easy to build and can last for many years... IF taken care of properly. But fiberglass is fragile, so bumping into something (like whales, maybe...) isn't recommended. Old cruising sail boats are often made of hard woods like mahogany. Some home-made boats are made of plywood covered in fiberglass. Some sailboats (believe it or not) are made of steel wire covered in concrete. They are very easy to home-build but are so very fragile. The sail boat I had was built completely of steel and so strong that a bump was not very much of a worry.

There are two common calculations that sailboat designers use to "suggest" a hull design. One is called the SA/D which relates sail area to a sail boat's displacement (weight in the water). The other is the D/L which relates the hulls displacement to how long on the waterline it sits (LWL). I don't think I can print the formulas here, but often, in sail boat advertisements, you will see the SA/D and the D/L listed along with the sail area, LOA, LWL, LOD, Beam, ballast, and displacement.

Sail boat D/L ratios

Light Multi-Hulls 40 - 50

Ultra - Light Racers 100 - 150

Light Racers 150 - 200

Light Cruisers & Offshore Racers 200 - 275

Medium Weight Cruisers 275 - 325

Heavy Cruisers 325 - 400

More than 400, and the hull begins to develop undesirable characteristics.

Sailboats have many "poles". The ones that I think you are referring to are the mast and the boom. The Mast is the Tall one that sticks up out of the hull. The is connected horizontally to the mast.

you need some bugars

i dont know it always works for me

That's a "dhow" or "felucca".

The question should be "What is aft on a sailboat?" since it is a direction, not a thing. Aft (or after) is anything toward the rear of the boat.

It is the carival

The vertical "stick" is the mast and the horizontal "stick" is called the boom.

The lever attached to the rudder is called a tiller.

Every single person dies and becomes a newly born person with new opportunities open to her/him.

To ease the raising of sails, a pulley is attached to the top of the mast.

A single hull boat has only one hull, which is the standard for boats. Catamarans have two, or twin hulls.
