Tinned copper is worse than normal copper?

@thewaterengine 21 күн бұрын

Good flag - for boats tinned copper is better because it resists corrosion better than copper. Also very important to use stranded and not solid core

That sums up my sailing instruction 60 years ago. "Sails are most efficient when they are on the verge of luffing." So, you let out the sail until it starts to luff, then trim the sail in until the luffing stops. I have always loved simplicity. We tend to over-complicate matters. A child can sail well with this adage.

While i agree with a lot of this, using a horizontal furling main sail as a demonstration is pretty unrealistic for most. The demonstration should show an average situation, such as raising and lowering without lazy jacks or a furling head sail for real world visuals

thanks so much for the valuable input. As this was our first release, it was done a while back, and my skills were not quite what they should have been, getting better

@malthus101 Ай бұрын

and why do you tack anyway? is that just a case of changing winds so you need to adapt to the wind direction?

@malthus101 Ай бұрын

So... what is a spinaker? Is that an electric jib and drum?

@searchingforcoconuts2248 26 күн бұрын

A spinaker is the large colorful sails boats fly in light winds, when sailing away from the wind

Been rigging boats for decades. All Mainsail controls are on Starboard side and "red" colors. All lines forward of mast (Jib, Staysail, Spinnaker Pole) are "Blue" lines and are on Port side of the boat. All lines for sails in front of the boat (Spinnaker) are "Green" colored. I also use roller furling on all sails. Mainsail is Aft-Mast furling (I detest in-mast furling). Lines are run through clutches into the cockpit. I also use a split mainsheet system. 2 locations on the boom, down/out to Port and Starboard toerails near the shrouds, then run back along the toerails into the cockpit. No dangerous swinging, out-of-control boom ever. I also run jack lines along each side of the cabin top and then one down the center of the deck at the bow. Then I use very short tethers that allow work at the mast/boom and the toe rails but do not tangle around my feet or allow me to get off the boat over the side. Always roll up the sails going downwind if possible. Facing the wind to furl sails is terrible for the sails and puts huge loads on things.

hmmm. seems to me you jumped down to the details to quickly and focused largely on sail shape. I would start at a higher level, with an overview of points of sail/courses and talk in general how sails should be arrayed, how the physics affects movement of the boat for each course and why the sails are set up the way they are set up. then start diving into each course one at a time with a simple set up. then some advancement with sail shape, weather helm, balancing etc for each course. this video without really pointing it out to novices is mostly about close haul/beating up wind but your diagrams left a lot to be desired. I am not an expert by any means and my experience is limited to small racing cats.

@SteveJory Ай бұрын

Dumb question. Are the jammers strong enough to take the forces exerted on the lines running through them or do they need to be secured to a cleat ??

@searchingforcoconuts2248 26 күн бұрын

not a dumb question at all, and sorry for the late response. Jammers tighten themselves by the pull of the lines. The more tension on the line, the harder the jammer bites. Not to say one can't fail, but never seen it myself

Hi ı was looking for a sailboat sclupting tutorial videos on youtube but ı couldnt find anything looking similar to our boat. I am racing with my friends with our universities Farr 30 model racing boat And then I saw your videos and Would you consider making a tutorial about this greetings from turkey 🙏🏼

@searchingforcoconuts2248 Ай бұрын

Hi, and thanks for posting. To make a basic model that looks like your boat, you will need to get the line plans. Sometimes you might be lucky to find them, or something similar, online, for free. If you want it to be exact, unfortunately you will have to buy those line plans from the manufacturer. I use the dimensions from line plans and software called Freeship to make the basic hull shape. The rest must be modelled by myself using software called Blender3D. (Blender is free but takes time to master). The model used in our tutorials takes around 4 weeks to model. Making tutorials for this task would take forever!! You can check out freeship-plus.en.softonic.com/ for the basic hull, then import it into Blender, which can be found at blender.org Hope this helps, thanks for watching

Thanks for this, it was excellent. I never understood the hydrovane, but so it was like I suspected, like the gain in a transistor. Or an opamp with feedback. Genius, it takes little energy to turn the hydrovane but it puts out a lot of energy.

The first part, departure, is excellent in all respects. The second part less so. Getting a crew member on the dock is risky, and may put the boat in a bad situation - now short a crew member (remember, many trips are done with perhaps two persons on board). I strongly suggest the sexond part be as thorough as the first part with focus on simple use of appropriate lines to be replaced when the boat is essenrially secure along the dock. Many boats do not have a cleat mitships; an alternative needs to be addressed. Perhaps also some “don’t do this because …”. As it stands, one of the most instructive videos available.
