Sailing

Be careful, know where you are going, warn other ships of your presence (one long blast of a horn or similar)

Many say Phoenicia, many say Scandinavia, many say Polynesia. The debate rages on.

sailing is not played,it is raced.

sailing races take part on lakes and the sea or were evr ther is bth water and wind

five hundred dollars per day

Answer is zero. Your body can survive for a day or two without water. I think the question you are looking for is how much water to take with you on a sailing trip, or how much do you need to drink each day to be healthy. The conventional wisdom on this is 64 oz ina 24 hour period (8glasses of 8oz of water). While health professionals agree that water is importaint, they do not agree that 64 oz is the "magic number" and many feel that may be too high. My question to you might be how safe is your sailing trip you may nedd to stock up on water beyond daily consumption if there is the potential for being shipwrecked and adrift without the possiblitiy of rescue.

'Sailing', a hit for Rod Stewart in 1975, was written by Gavin Sutherland in 1972 and first performed by his British folk rock duo, the Sutherland Brothers.

'Sailing' was also the name of a 1980 hit written and performed by Christopher Cross.

The mainsheet hauls the boom, and, consequently, withstands the most load of any line aboard. A traveller helps ease that strain by downhauling the mainsail clew, spreading the load, by diverting the job to the aftermost deck, or, transom.

Standing rigging (typically the metal cables nowadays, but basically a line that doesn't move) is named based on it's use and orientation relative to the ship. Stays typically run "fore and aft" or parallel with the ship, and these can be used to keep the masts in place, and to hold up sails such as a jib or a staysail. Shrouds however run perpendicular to the ship and hold the masts in place on that direction. As for why they're called "shrouds" specifically, quite frankly I don't know.

As a side note, the shrouds are only the vertically running part, the footholds that make it possible to go aloft are called "ratlines" which run horizontally.

Sure, there's no problem 'provided' that the rails, or guides, that the pontoons sit on are correctly positioned. The length of the trailer shouldn't have any affect on its ability to carry a smaller boat if its pontoons fit properly.

"Heave Ho" is an old nautical term still used by sailors when doing a job in unison. An example would be hoisting heavy barrels of supplies aboard ship by using block and tackle (pulleys and ropes). The sailors would pull, but needed to all pull at the same time. Thus, the bosun's mate would cry out "heave" and the crew would get ready, then "HO" as the signal for everybody to pull together. Why "HEAVE"? Because they would be "heaving" or pulling on the line. Why "HO"? Because it's the simplest sound to make that is clear, loud, forceful, and short. {Try it yourself... Say out loud: "Heave....GO!" or "Heave...LO!" or "Heave....NOW!" or "Heave... right-this-moment!" Understand? }

It's what you hammer into the planks to build a boat. ;)

Tack: v. To purposely change the direction of the boat by moving the sails to the opposite side, in order to avoid shallows, rocks or other hazards or simply to avoid sailing too far away from the rhumbline. When tacking the boat is sailing back and forth over the rhumbline which is the line from point a to point b on that particular leg of the course.

Tack: n. This refers to the windward side of the vessel. When the boat is on a starboard tack the starboard side of the boat is the one the wind is coming over. This is also known as the high side and the one you want to be sitting on. :)

Tack: n. The lower corner of the leading edge of a sail. In the case of the mainsail it is the lower corner that is up against the mast.

Tacking consists of the following steps: 1. The helmsman determines the new course heading based on the fact that you need to mirror your current point of sail, only you will be turning through the wind in order to cross the rhumbline. It generally works out to be a 90 degree turn. If you are steering 300 degrees for example and you add ninety you get 390, a nonexistent compass heading. You would then subtract 360 from 390 leaving you with 30 degrees. 2. The helmsman announces his intention to tack to make sure the crew is ready to release and pull in the sheets. I was taught to say "Ready about!" 3. Once the crew affirms the command by responding "Ready!" you begin to turn to the new course. 4. Just before you turn you give everyone the final warning by saying "Hard Alee!". 5. On the helmsman’s command “Le’o” the crew lets go of the headsail sheet(s) and the mainsheet on the leeward side and pulls them in on the windward side. 6. Normally, when the boom(s) and headsails come to the middle you release the taut sheets and pull in quickly on the slack sheets. This is the initial sail trim. 7. The helmsman turns to the proper compass course. 8. The crew makes the final sail trim adjustments to maximize speed. “Le’o” in 5 above is an abbreviation for “Let go”. The reason the crew needs to wait until the helms gives the “Le’o” command before releasing the sheet(s) is that, the helmsman may need the head sail(s) to be “backed” in order to complete the manoeuvre and avoid getting stuck in “irons” “backed” is when a sail is held against the wind. ‘irons” is when a sailing vessel becomes stuck “head into wind”

Loss of battery.

Astral navigation. By using a sextant (instrument used to measure the altitude of a celestial object) a clock and logarithms you can work out your position on the earth's surface hence 'sailing by the stars'

In addition to the already given answer.....three masts, from the bow, smallest, second larger and third largest towards the stern, with all sails fore and aft, known as a Schooner

Tall ship

Perhaps you are referring to the mast.

A sentence gives a complete thought, with a subject and verb. A phrase is a sequence of words intended to have meaning.

That depends on where they start out FROM and who the pilot(s) are...

I just now quickly checked several websites and found that this boat is over 100 feet long. That in itself is a plus.

i searched NADA guide and found a '72 dolphin sr. made by now defunct 1972 "DOLPHIN UNIVERSAL PLASTIC PROD." they did not have a listing for a '73

The lights a vessel displays at night define a lot about the vessel, length, aspect etc. Some 'special vessels' display lights that convey their activity. Some of these vessels can be 'underway' (Not tied up or anchored) but not 'making way' The special vessels are fishing vessels (red or green over white), vesels not under control (2 reds) and vessels with restricted ability to manoeuvre (red over white over red). These special vessels can be observed with their navigation lights off but the identifying lights on. This could be say 2 red all round lights. This would be underway but not making way. Switch the nav lights on and it would be making way. All other vessel types would be 'underway'. Cheers. thescr3am.

Two hours. Watches are normally stood in four hour increments starting at 0000. If you have a three section rotation, everyone stands the same watches day after day. And someone has a real hard time getting dinner each day. So most ships 'dog the watch' and split the 1600 to 2000 watch into two parts, 1st Dog Watch is 1600 to 1800 and the second is 1800 to 2000.

A sail is a piece of fabric attached to a boat, causing the wind to drive the boat along.

Sailing has been around since prehistoric times, therefore the name of the person who made the first sail boat is not recorded.

It takes roughly 23 hours, 40 minutes to sail from Seattle, Washington to San Francisco, California. A flight is 1 hour, 15 minutes.

"Hampshire" was spotted in Zakynthos last week (registered in George Town).

Hampshire is the original "Barbara Jean", a 185 ft Feadship by De Vries, delivered in 2001. She was sold to her present owner early 2007 and renamed "Hampshire".

Hampshire is owned by Jim Ratcliffe, the billionaire from the UK, founder of the chemical group Ineos.
