http://www.sailtheory.com/tuning.html
"The principle of tuning is rather simple, but since there are so much variables it will always stay an art, rather then science. Science, like the theory presented here, might help you develop the art more, see it as an school for arts." Nice page good diagrams. http://www.sailtheory.com/mandf.html "Now we are going to apply this to a sailboat. If one wants to demonstrate how steering with the sail works the following might help:" http://www.wb-sails.fi/news/95_11_Te...lingtales.html "Telltales, tufts, indicators, flappers, woollies - a dear child has many names. No matter what you call them, they are an essential aid in steering and trimming." http://www.sailtheory.com/sail.html "How a sail (and wing) works" http://www.sailtheory.com/resistance.html The resistance a ship can be divided into 5 main reasons. Frictional losses Pressure resistance Wavemaking resistance Resistance due to drift http://www.sailtheory.com/stability.html "With "starting stability" the tendency of the ship to level at small angles is meant. with "extent of stability" the max angle to what the ship is self righting is meant. In general there are 3 kinds of stability: Form stability Weight stability Speed stability" http://www.sailboat-technology.com/l...e_articles.php A large list of many tech. artices in PDF -Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics -Construction and Materials -Design -Handicap Systems and Rules -Performance -Rigging -Routing -Sailing Basics -Stability -Structures http://www.marinecomposites.com/PDF_...P_Blisters.pdf http://www.arvelgentry.com/techs/Sai...Techniques.pdf http://www.marinecomposites.com/PDF_Files/U_Repair.pdf Excellent article on GRP repair with diagrams and images. http://www.boatbuilding-links.de/index.html#howtos "This page points to some of the sites I consider useful for hobby-boatbuilding readers who are searching for cheap and fast boatbuilding techniques like stitch and glue, tape and tack, taping polytarp sails and to home- / garage built boat projects. If you find interesting sites or themes which fit to my site or an object on this site give me a tip." http://www.muskokaseaflea.ca/ http://home.att.net/~v.lessley/new_page_5.htm Good Rudder info. and diagrams http://home.att.net/~v.lessley/boat_bio.htm Mic'67 |
