This book was released on 1994 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are 75 novel and wonderful boats--some strange, some beautiful, all of them paragons of Philip Bolger's form-follows-function design philosophy. A planing microtrawler; a glass-galleried, beachable birdwatching boat; a fully enclosed ocean-cruising rowboat; cruising sailboats that take the ground at low tide; power, sail, and rowing boats from 6 to 95 feet--these are boats as only Bolger's unfettered imagination does them. This is the first collection of Bolger's work in almost 15 years. It is long overdue. "Bolger is an eloquent writer and his comments run the gamut from hilarious to profound."--The Ensign "Bolger brings a kind of youthful feeling to yacht design--he would rather make precedent than follow it."--WoodenBoat "Bolger has a way of seducing even the lay reader into thinking about and beginning to understand boat design."--Cruising World "Boat lovers who are used to designers who conceive the same boat over and over, camouflaged with a face-lifting here and there, will be amazed at Phil Bolger's diversity."--Boatbuilder

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the world's mystery from the deck of an ocean-going sailboat propelled by the wind and your own wits and skills, is the most magnificent of personal accomplishments. Amateur ocean sailing developed during the first half of the 20th century and reached its peak during the two decades after WWII. Then, mass produced and marketed boats subtly undercut the bond between the sailor and his boat. The sport lost its meaning. Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors explores the quiet counter-revolution to mass production boat-enabled by cold-molding and the epoxy bonding of wood--which has presented an opportunity for sailors to re-bond with their craft.Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors begins with a history of ocean sailing. Then it uses the sciences of material and structure to demonstrate the superiority of wood as a boat building material. It climaxes with the description of a new way for building an epoxy bonded wood boat that will last the next generation to use. An afterword describes use of the new technique to restore to life traditionally built wood boats that are failing, yet too precious to abandon. For sailors, Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors is a celebration of the wits and skills they exercise to sail upon the sea. For builders, Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors offers new techniques for economically building ocean going boats. For designers, Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors offers history to inspire them to remember, reflect and refine the requirements of the sea overlooked in the rush to modernity. For the craftsman, by itself, a short appendix concerning use of the tape measure will earn the cost of the book.Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors will delight and inform the sailor, boat builder, yacht designer and bring joy to those who love beautiful sailboats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Even readers who deem themselves confirmed landlubbers will warm to this charming memoir...[also] offers the fine local color of coastal North Carolina.”—Publishers Weekly When Louis Rubin was thirteen, he built a leaky little boat and paddled it out to the edge of the ship channel in Charleston, South Carolina, where he felt the inexorable pull of the water. In his sixties, dozens of boats later—sailboats, powerboats, inboards and outboards—the pull is as strong as ever. In the tradition established by Twain, Conrad, and Melville, Small Craft Advisory explores man’s longtime passion for boats. Louis Rubin examines the compulsion that has prompted him and countless other non-nautical persons to spend so much time, and no small portion of their incomes, on watercraft that they can use only infrequently. As his new boat (a cabin cruiser made of wood on a workboat hull) is being built, Rubin tells of his past boats and numerous boating disasters, and draws a poignant comparison between his two passions: watercraft and the craft of writing. “A wistful meditation on risk-taking and a longing for a place where time never runs out.”—The Washington Post Book World “If the point of reading a memoir is to meet a person who is truly good company, and maybe to have a little wisdom rub off at the same time, Small Craft Advisory is a book to read.”—The New York Times Book Review “In describing the building of his boat he is describing the building of his life, reasserting the shaping value of memory and imagination. [A] gracefully written contemplation.”—Library Journal

Book excerpt: "The Open Boat" is a short story by American author Stephen Crane. First published in 1897, it was based on Crane's experience of surviving a shipwreck off the coast of Florida earlier that year while traveling to Cuba to work as a newspaper correspondent. Crane was stranded at sea for thirty hours when his ship sank after hitting a sandbar. He and three other men were forced to navigate their way to shore in a small boat. Crane's personal account of the shipwreck and the men's survival, titled "Stephen Crane's Own Story", was first published a few days after his rescue. Stephen Crane (1871-1900) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and poet who is often called the first modern American writer. Crane was a correspondent in the Greek-Turkish War and the Spanish American War, penning numerous articles, war reports and sketches. In addition to six novels, Crane wrote over a hundred short stories including "The Blue Hotel," "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," and "The Open Boat."

Book excerpt: Lawn, they fix the watermaker or make bread from scratch; instead of trying to find good schools for the kids, they make their own good school; instead of living to work, they work to live, making time for adventure and play. Here is how they do it, and how you can do it too, with hard-won tips, practical suggestions, and life lessons on everything from developing a cruising frame of mind to choosing and customizing the right boat to dealing calmly with the myriad.

Book excerpt: The dory has seen duty as a fishing boat, lumberman's batteau, lifeboat, recreational rowing boat, and racing sailboat. The most comprehensive book about dories ever published, this is at once a history of the dory, a practical handbook on dory building, and a compendium of 23 dory designs with full construction details. The author, a longtime contributor to National Fisherman, and the illustrator, Sam Manning, are perhaps the foremost experts on the subject. A steady stream of letters and photographs to the late John Gardner from successful dory builders worldwide has been testimony to the widespread popularity and influence of this book.

Download or read book Modification of Model Boats for Open Water Testing of Drag Reducing Surfaces written by Christopher Mahlon Carter and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces coated on the hulls of marine vessels are capable of passively producing drag reduction. This gives SHPo technology an exciting opportunity to dramatically reduce the fuel costs and pollutant emissions of large ships or increase the top speeds of racing boats. While the performance of SHPo surfaces in laminar flow is now well understood and predictable, their performance in turbulent conditions is still faced with lack of knowledges and many uncertainties. Furthermore, most experimental studies in turbulent flow have been conducted in laboratory conditions, which often produce over-optimistic results when compared to the open-water environment in the field conditions. This thesis creates a convenient method to test SHPo surfaces covering the hull of a watercraft in realistic conditions, by comparing the speeds of two identical model boats, whose hulls are attached with smooth or SHPo surfaces, under fully turbulent flows in the open water of a lake. With the molded SHPo samples the UCLA Micro & Nano Manufacturing Laboratory is developing in mind, this thesis aims to confirm that the boat operator can reliably drive the developed model boats at the same speed for a given throttle. At 75% throttle, the two model boats both travel steadily at 1.9 0.2 m/s with Rex = (7.2 0.9) 105, yielding a speed difference of 0%. At 100% throttle, the two boats travel steadily at 10.3 0.2 m/s with Rex = (3.6 0.2) 106 and 10.5 0.2 m/s with Rex = (3.7 0.2) 106, yielding a speed difference of 2%. Additionally, this research takes the first steps of considering the real-world potential of SHPo drag reduction by estimating the cost and value of the molded SHPo surfaces as a commercial product. The return on investment (ROI) for implementing SHPo surfaces on a cargo ship hull is estimated to be between 338% and 562%, depending on the material used to fabricate the SHPo surfaces.
