Book Synopsis The Working Guide to Traditional Small-Boat Sails by : David L. Nichols
Download or read book The Working Guide to Traditional Small-Boat Sails written by David L. Nichols and published by Breakaway Books. This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make your modern sailboat look (and work) like a salty classic. The Golden Age of Sail is long past, sadly, and much of its lore is nearly extinct. Sailboats now almost uniformly use the Bermudan sloop rig—a triangular jib and a triangular mainsail. But that rig evolved mainly to meet esoteric yacht-racing measurement rules. It is not necessarily the most efficient or effective rig. This book lets sailors rediscover the practical advantages—and the aesthetic delights—of such configurations as the sprit sail, the gaff sail, the lug sail, and the gunter rig. It also includes valuable information on marlinspike work like rope-whipping and eye-splicing; and tips on converting your modern sailboat to a traditional rig. ______________________ Some reviews: “This will become the classic book on traditional rigs for small boats. . . . A concise and thorough compendium on using low-cost and efficient traditional rigs, the kind that not only look better but work better on small boats than their modern counterparts.” —Gary Blankenship, Duckworks Magazine “The ‘traditional’ rigs here are the kind you’ll find on the clinker plywood designs of Iain Oughtred and the like; rigs with polyester sails and running rigging. Tufnol blocks and stainless steel shackles. ‘Modern traditional boats’, if you’ll forgive the phrase. Similarly, there’s a nice mix of old and new the manner the material is presented: old in the cleanliness of the page design; new in the extensive use of colour close-up photographs to illustrate details of the rigs. Highly recommended.” —Water Craft Magazine "Mr. Nichols does an excellent job of explaining the fundamentals in terms that are useful to old salts looking to tweak their rigs, builders trying to figure out what's next, and admirers of traditional design." —Good Old Boat

Book Synopsis Trial and the Art of Sailing by : Michael D. Schwartz
Download or read book Trial and the Art of Sailing written by Michael D. Schwartz and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overwhelming majority of cases never go to trial and, because of this, most attorneys, whether they’re new or seasoned litigators, don’t have a lot of actual trial experience. They find jury trials intimidating and awkward. Although experience is always the best teacher, what if you don’t have any, or not much? Your first clients shouldn’t have to suffer through your learning curve, and neither should you. Noted trial lawyer Michael Schwartz has come to the rescue in this informative and entertaining guidebook to help attorneys lacking experience or confidence, navigate trial work step by step, from the first client meeting to verdict. Like a good sail, Trial and the Art of Sailing zigzags back and forth along the waters of actual trial work and life, between blunt advice, mistakes lived and learned, anecdotes, war stories, strategy, and good, old fashioned commonsense. Schwartz’s nearly thirty years of experience has led to unmatched success and now you can have the same success in your own career. Book Review 1: "Michael has been referred to as one of the best defense attorneys in the country, and I couldn’t agree more! The material in his book is well worth the read.” -- Jan Mills Spaeth, Ph.D, Advanced Jury Research

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the best shape for a sailboat? How does turbulence affect a sailboat's movement through the water? Why do some keels have wings? Is it true that some sailboats can sail faster upwind than downwind? Authoritative yet accessible, The Physics of Sailing Explained is the perfect book for all those sailors who want to enhance their understanding and enjoyment of life at sea. It will enable cruisers and racers alike to better grasp how sails, keels, and hulls work together to keep boats afloat, and will sharpen their skills with a more subtle and thorough appreciation of why various boat design features are present and why certain tactics work in certain situations. Anderson outlines the science behind sailing in a way that anyone can understand and benefit from without having to trudge through a physics text or became a naval architect. Concepts are conveyed simply, concisely, and with many examples and illustrations. With the help of this invaluable book, sailors will be better prepared to handle any situations that might arise on the water.
Download or read book Solar Sails written by Giovanni Vulpetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reality of sunlight-based sailing in space began in May 2010, and solar sail technology and science have continued to evolve rapidly through new space missions. Using the power of the Sun's light for regular travel propulsion will be the next major leap forward in our journey to other worlds. This book is the second edition of the fascinating explanation of solar sails, how they work and how they will be used in the exploration of space. Updated with 35% new material, this second edition includes three new chapters on missions operated by Japan and the US, as well as projects that are in progress. The remainder of the book describes the heritage of exploration in water-borne sailing ships and the evolution to space-vehicle propulsion; as well as nuclear, solar-electric, nuclear-electric and antimatter rocket devices. It also discusses various sail systems that may use either sunlight or solar wind, and the design, fabrication and steering challenges associated with solar sails. The first edition was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews, and deemed “a title that needs to be on your shelf if you’re seriously interested in the next step as we move beyond rocketry" (Centauri Dreams, September 2008). Written with a mixed approach, this book appeals to both the general public as well as those with a more scientifically technical background.
Download or read book Sails written by Derek Harvey and published by Adlard Coles. This book was released on 1997 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DIY sailmaker can save as much as three-quarters of the cost of their sails by making them or re-cutting old ones, using little more than a tape measure, scissors and a domestic sewing machine. This work shows how the traditional rule-of-thumb methods of sail design can be updated with the aid of computer programs available by post. It describes the origins of the different shapes of sail and the practical differences between them in their handling and performance out on the water. It also explains design principles, the choice of sailcloths and shows how a basic home computer can be used to plot the panel shapes. The reader is then taken through the processes of lofting, seaming, sewing and tabling, and the hand finishing of details such as headboards, reef point, leathered corners and cringles. The book contains all the information a boatowner needs to design, make, repair and modify their sails.
