Sailing

The Plimsoll Line is a diagram drawn in white on the side of cargo ships to prevent rascally shipowners from overloading them, which is unsafe.

Sailors were afraid they would fall off the Earth

That sea monsters would attack them

That the sea water was boiling hot

Falling overboard

Suffering from scurvy

Dying from starvation

Treating water with bleach is very effective at killing germs and it doesn't taste funny to most of us because this is basically what most city water supplies do. You need to have a bottle of plain liquid chlorine bleach and a dropper. The bleach should be 5 to 6 percent sodium hypochlorite with no preservatives and no additional ingredients. Do not use scented bleaches, color safe bleaches, powdered bleaches, or bleaches with added cleaners. You want the good old fashion stuff that smells like chlorine and burns holes in your clothes if you pour it right on them. Even this is hard to choose because it is now available in different concentrations. Ultra Clorox is a 6% solution instead of 5.25% but it is the same stuff. Keep a bottle of plain 5.25% or 6% chlorine bleach with no additives in the laundry room to use for water purification. Besides, this cleans sweat socks as well as any of the others. To treat water with chlorine bleach, put the water in a clean container and add 16 drops of bleach for every gallon of water. Stir in the bleach and let the water stand for 30 minutes. If the water does not have a little smell of bleach, repeat the dosage of 16 drops per gallon and let it sit for another 15 minutes. If it smells of bleach now it is OK to drink. If it doesn't smell of bleach after two treatments, the water is too dirty to use. Throw it away and treat a new batch of water. * 1 quart bottle 4 drops of bleach * 2 liter soda bottle 10 drops of bleach * 1 gallon jug 16 drops of bleach (1/8 tsp) * 2 gallon cooler 32 drops of bleach (1/4 tsp) * 5 gallon bottle 1 teaspoon of bleach From the Medical and Health Law Site

There are many factors which could effect the outcome of the answer such as type of boat, time of year, direction of wind etc.

However using the shortest route with no stops (ca. 5,650nm) and an average speed over the ground of 6kts, you'd cover 144nm/day meaning you should be able to complete the passage in just over 39 days.

A centerboard is retractable, the keel is not. A centerboard is lighter than a keel.

It is horizontally aligned, can be at the bottom of the Mainsail on a ketch or yawl. Can also be used to attach the top of a sail to a mast on the large clippers or brigantines.

Weather, handling, navigation, vessel, crew. Idiots

Sail boat is coming at you

Actually, they are opposites in this regard: 'Coming about' is tacking while turning into the wind, whereas 'Jibing' is tacking while turning away from the wind.

My opinion is that it is one of the permutations of the Newport/Neptune/Gloucester 16 footers. Very solid little boats, out of production though since about 1988. The Gloucester would be the later model. All three are very similar.

I second this, as a G16 owner (and 14 other sailboats), with a couple of reservations. First, the boat's cabin liner is a bad design. You have to tear it out to gain access to the hull aft interior, bail the bilges, and even expose the pivot bolt. Second, like most other small boats, it has neither positive flotation nor waterproof bunk and cockpit hatches. All these can be installed, however, within 2 dozen manhours, and at that point the boat is indeed the best little swingkeeler out there, and better than many a fixed keel and keel/CB shoe to boot. Briefly because it combines the three Newick parameters of cheap cost, comfortable accommodation, and reasonably good performance in a golden compromise that only Bill Lapworth could have pulled off. It's a real sleeper on the boat market. Afraid my publicity is only going to drive up the price. Sadly.

in a sailing dinghy, the name given to ropes used for hoisting the sail is halyards.

There is a misconception that a motor driven vessel always gives way to sail.

This is not so. There are many things which decide which vessel gives way, tides, wind, the channel and the conditions of the vessels themselves. The operations they are involved in also affect who gives way.

It is a rule, however, that BOTH vessels are responsible for avoiding collisions.

The three boats that brought settlers to Jamestown were the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery. See Related Links.

One should be able to find Musto sailing clothes in any shop that sell sailing clothes. Musto's official website (and other websites that sell sailing clothes) also sells Musto sailing clothes.

Sailing gloves can be bought from West Marine, Amazon, Speed Marine, Landfall Navigation, Mauri Pro Sailing, White Caps Foul Weather Sailing Gear and NZ Sailing.

It was designed in 2005(6) by Vitali Design. A cracking little learning / racing boat.

The port side of a ship is the left side of the ship. It was earlier called as larboard also. But this name has been replaced now as port side.

Sailing can really have a target audience for anyone, Because the age restriction for children sailing alone on a small boat is 8 years old, whereas they can sail with a parent/supervisior at any age, Making the target audience more to do who who's really into to watersports or just for people want want a relaxing slow paced leisurable sport depending at what level you do sailing at obviously, For other people it could be the breaking records for sailing that might intise them into the sport or the constant sailing competions that are held.

Looking at pictures though it seems that the main target audience for sailing is of an older nature so late teens onwards.

Sailboats, cruise ships, houseboats, tramp steamers, oil tankers, and there are more that I can't think of right now.

it doesn't indicate anything, aside from the fact that the buoy is there. the light simply makes it more visible in foggy or dark conditions.

Aft would be the fantail or after rake, and the front would be the bow.
