Thanks for the reminder Thom.... I've been eyeing the rudder sock on the
stern of the dory. I understand it's purpose is to use an oar as a rudder when sailing it. I'm wondering as to how it would work as a sculling port. I've got 13 foot sculls but the exit is much lower than the notch on the top of the transom. Is the elevation of the sculling oar important? I kind of "scull" one oar when I need to crab sideways allowing me to ship or unship the opposing oar while coming alongside. I'll see if I can get some instruction at the Wooden Boat Festival....

In the case of the boats I have owned, I much prefer to use a
sacrificial furling cover that is white. The only downside is that it is possible, upon rerigging things to have the sail furling in the opposite direction than was intended, with the result being the sacrificial cover is on the inside, where it doesn't do any good. That is a harder mistake to make with the standard dark furling cover, but fairly easy with a white one. Please explain how this can be. It seems that it would require turning the drum the wrong way or running the leach up the foil, both of which seem pretty easy to avoid. |

Do some drums have a right way and wrong way? My Harken works both ways. From the
manual: Tip: The position of the suncover on the sail determines the direction of rotation: Suncover to starboard - "charge" by turning clockwise. Suncover to port - "charge" by turning counter-clockwise. It is possible that the feed angle for the line prefers one direction or another. "SkitchNYC" wrote in message ...

Well, I guess it is possible, but since the sail is raised with the furling
line on the drum, this mixup would require the line to be pulled all the way out and the drum wound back up the opposite way. Also not seemingly likely. BTW, if "charge" means furl, I think your manual is wrong. Do some drums have a right way and wrong way? My Harken works both ways.

"Charging" is winding up the line on the drum before the sail is raised. If charged
clockwise, the sail will be rolled counter-clockwise, so the cover should be to starboard. "SkitchNYC" wrote in message ...

CM,
I use a closed oar lock, which stays on the sweep. You know that you can tie it off as the Orientals do and it will just about teach you the proper action and oar position. Just think about the angle of your prop. That is what I do. OT |
