The requirement was for a safe and durable sea-training boat, interesting to race from shore or from Her Majesty’s warships. It has comfortable rolled side tanks and a high boom and is now regarded as ideal also for corporate team and match racing, cruising and family use. Boats of 30 years old are still competitive. Boats replaced by the Navy are taken up by the Sea Cadets. Does anyone have any comments on this? The Bosun is a heavy boat, apparently, when the Royal Navy were looking at a training boat they dropped various boats off the flight deck of HMS Invincible into the water, and the Bosun was the only class boat that survived. (Interestingly, they didn't try the same test with the ASC) The Bosun is a great boat to sail, very stable, and if equipped properly, can sail well to it's handicap. It is also a good cruising boat. A general good allrounder. But there is more. In typical MoD fashion, they had 'trials' to select a new two man (this was before the days of rampant PC) boat. I think the Beaufort was another that went up for it and, if my memory is not still playing tricks - Jack Holt's Lazy E. We used to have a big fleet of Bosuns at Netley as it was classed as a Services Saiing Club. Although with good gear they can be quite a handicap bandit, I think it would take a stretch of the imagination to describe them as offering a 'good' sailng experience. These days there are just so many other really good boats, even those from the pre Smod classic era, that would offer you a far more enjoyable time afloat. Personal preference of course BUT.uless there is a huge over riding consideration that shouts 'Bosun' to you, it may still be worth while casting your eye about a tad more. Elsewhere on this site is a string on the Fairey Swordfish. https://www.thebiketube.com/acros-boss-digital-recording-studio-br-1600-manual Not that dissimilar from a Bosun, but in a different league when it comes to sheeting in the sails D It wasn't dropped into the water (it pre-dated HMS Invincible any way) but was required to survive being dropped from a height of 6' onto a deck ring bolt. I cannot remeber which other boats were considered but I do believe a shortened Albacore was one option, the LazyE may have been another. The Bosun is an ideal services boat, but it isn't very ideal otherwise for several reasons: 1. It's very heavy 2. It's quite undercanvassed. This means you can sail it in a gale when every one else has gone in but otherwise it just means it's slow. 3. It's got no stowage for use as a cruising dinghy They are also good training boats - particularly for advanced sailing as they do rudderles sailing, etc. etc. simply and are generally vice free. Graham Forshaw (RNSA coach and contributor to DSM) sails them a lot and it would be good to hear what he has to say - does he read this forum?? It is worthy of note that Netley, as the Army SA training base, had a fleet of 15-20 Bosuns. Back in the 1980s these were changed out to Kestrels, now I think think they have a right mish mash of boats, L2000, Rs 'various'. Topper Omegas. But equally right is the other comment that they are hugely overweight and under canvassed, a combination that does not foster a great sailing experience. Speaking as one who did a lot of Bosun sailing when they were here.both fleet and team racing, I guess it matters not if you're going slowly as long as everyone else is too - but fun was not an adjective that springs readily to mind. D Did any one have the dubious pleasure of being acquainted with the alpha the Bosuns smaller cousin. For the University market at the behest of The OUYC it sailed well enough when we team raced against them, seemed industractable in the hull department but frankly nowhere as good as the Firefly which in the long term it did not replace. http://churchoftheresurrectionacc.com/images/bvm-l230-manual.pdf Prety enough it was I think Ian Proctor designed. We had one in our junior fleet 90 years ago when I was a junior myself.To be honest as a general racing dinghy it was and remains a 'dog', the build quality varied as do most M.O.D. contracted builds which last as long as they did in service.As a fleet raced boat however it did offer close competitive racing as long as the boats were alternated between races to allow equal use of the quicker and slower examples. As an ex marine who regularly sailed Bosuns I have fond memories of Bosun sailing, but I think that was mainly due to the venues the RN took us to with them, its dificult not to enjoy your sailing when it in the Carribean sun for example. I can assure you that Grahame Forshaw was no real fan of the boat as we team raced together in them many times, but he was unfortunately stuck with them until he left the service due to their numbers and resilliance. Every year we would team race bosuns against the other clubs in the Plymouth area plus Manadon (Royal Naval Engineering College) and RNSA. Gear failure was very common. Recall racing against RWYC with a bosun rigged by the Camber staff in a five, that had so much weather helm ( regardless of want you did to it less plate, moved mast forward by tighting forestay etc. ), that the tiller snapped off in the rudder stock. Very spectacular broach resulted and we cannoned into two other boats chausing chaos. Apart from the tiller there was no other damage. Really hated the bosun and was glad that we only had to sail them once a year. Needless to say the RNSA or Manadon always used to win. Cheers Al We also used to team race the Hornets against the other Hornet fleets in the SW and against Manadon a very enjoyable experience.They are solid and slow, good simple boats for training people in. Apart from their weight their other main drawback was how difficult they were to right from turning turtle. They are solid and slow, good simple boats for training people in. https://www.magicapro.it/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16299155454a43---Contina-iia-manual.pdf Apart from their weight their other main drawback was how difficult they were to right from turning turtle. The training boats we used were Bosuns. We learned a great deal on these boats about 'proper' sailing. We also saw how strong they were as they were generally knocked about by inexperienced crews. I always remember when we were doing a relay race off the pebble beach with two bosuns and 2 teams of crews. Launch boat, sail out to the mark, come back, safely handover boat to next crew close to beach, etc. Two girls absolutely frightened to death (the wind was now blowing!) coming back to the beach on a fast reach - all on shore realising that the helm had frozen and she was not going to put the boat into wind at the last minute. Anyway, she kept her wide-eye course and sailed the Bosun right up the steep pebble beach. After her hands were prized from the tiller, the boat was turned around and the next crew sailed her back out to the mark - there was quite a furrow ploughed up the beach. Yes they weren't the fastest thing around, but they stood the mistreatment given to them by visiting Squadies and anyone else who was sailing a boat that they did not own. And the parts could still be ordered through 'Stores'. At the time my brother picked up a battered old fireball (called Spyke) and although he was always first across the line, and had often put his boat away and supping his first beer by the time the Bosuns came in, but he never actually won a race. On his second tour (with a 3 or 4 year gap in between), someone had got rid on most of the Bosuns and replaced them with more modern boats, some Laser 2000s, a couple of plastic catermarans and some pico's, etc. With the exception of the pico's, which were fairely robust, the other boats just could not stand the abuse. The Catamarans barely lasted a year before they where making one boat out of two, and then finally abandoning them when the last two hulls fatigued out. cuacuonbinhduong.com/upload/files/Car-audio-7_-service-manuals.pdf The Lazer 2000's, faired little better, but their problem was more of them being a bit to lairy for your average Forces Sailor. Being damaged in spectacular accidents etc. My brother manage to save the last two Bosuns and I believe he managed to buy back one or two others (as they were sold locally) to replace the replacements. We regard them as very capable 'sea boats', with the added advantage that they were generally up to being abused by people who really did not care one way or the other what happened to them. And that is their strength. Nobody loved them, but you got to respect them. Steve Hawkins Compared to the Scout Coypus (which were all I had raced in before) they were competative and they behaved as the manuals said they should. LarFinn wrote: Apart from their weight their other main drawback was how difficult they were to right from turning turtle. I met them again as a mid at Dartmouth. Where the problem was not how to right them from an inversion, which I never saw happen, but how to capsize the beasts in the first place so as to demonstrate a recovery. Raising the centreboard and swinging on the lee shroud was the recognised method. Stephen Hawkins wrote: My brother (the lucky git) managed to get 2 tours in Cyprus, each of 3 years in length, at Episcopi (I got 8 months in the Falklands !). On his first tour all was well, a fleet of sturdy Bosuns for all to use, for racing, training and cruising up the coast. At the time my brother picked up a battered old fireball (called Spyke) and although he was always first across the line, and had often put his boat away and supping his first beer by the time the Bosuns came in, but he never actually won a race!.My brother manage to save the last two Bosuns and I believe he managed to buy back one or two others (as they were sold locally) to replace the replacements. I remember those boats. When I was there we acquired one of the club's old Bosuns for the Episkopi Scout Troop. http://www.orarestauratorisaf.it/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16299155d4c289---contiki-user-manual.pdf I don't know if anything the squaddies did was as bad as the way the Scouts treated her. Rocks, other boats, anything seemed to be a fair target. I wonder if she is still about. At the time (1996) she was the only red Bosun at Tunnel Beach. If you haven’t and want to visit then we suggest you contact Port Edgar Watersports for available courses. We run an introductory session at the start of each season which covers everything you need to know. You can use our email list to get in touch. You will need to be able to set this to count down from either 3 minutes or 5 minutes.They are quite expensive and need occasional repairs to the latex parts, but are very comfortable. I would like to race with dinghy next week. Could it be possible. I’m from Italy and I have been sailing for years, both on dinghies ( laser, FIV 555 as instructor for teens) and yachts. Do I need to provide by myself any equipment ( lifejacket, wetsuit) or are they included in the booking. Any other info to know. In case I cannot race, can we meet on Saturday and talk about membership and so on. Maybe I can help you in operations. Racing sounds good, and club activities generally.Click on title to enter. Here at Hoofers the boat supports our youth program as well as providing an entry-level dinghy for members. With a rotomolded polyethylene hull, the boat is durable, extremely stable, and is designed to be a simple as possible for the novice sailor. The boat can be both cat rigged (just the mainsail) or sloop rigged with the optional jib. It is the secret to the club’s success.Tech Racing happens most Friday evenings starting at around 5:30. That year, club commodore Peter Harken adapted the MIT design to create the Badger Tech. He expanded the bow air tank, then rounded off the gunnels and deepened the transom to create even more flotation. His design makes for a heavy boat, but one that's served the club for 5 decades and counting. https://www.pferde-fuer-unsere-kinder.de/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/162991567bacc1---Contina-iii-manual.pdf Fast and stable, the Badger Sloop is the ideal boat for afternoons on the lake with friends and racing alike. An excellent boat for both beginners and experienced sailors, the Badger Sloop is a great introduction to sailing larger boats and never fails to deliver a fun experience, no matter one's level of experience. It is based on the Interlake design, but with a flatter bow and more room fore to aft for seating. Our fleet of eight boats was built by Windward Boatworks of Middleton, WI. With a large, open cockpit, the Badger Sloop accommodates up to six including the skipper, allowing you to share the sailing experience with up to 5 of your friends. These are also the boats used by our collegiate sailing team to compete at a local and national level. At 420 cm in length they are the smaller version of the Olympic class boat the 470. They move well, even in lighter air, and on a good day will plane out and scream across the lake. These boats are a ton of fun in a race or just a day sail. Definitely make a point of getting your 420 rating, or finding someone with theirs who you can go out with. This design provides a more challenging (but don’t worry almost anyone can learn to sail one!) and fun sailing experience than most small dinghies. Designed in the late 60’s and introduced in 1971, the boat’s speed and aggressive behavior quickly made it popular with dinghy sailors all over the world. It is basically a Laser for smaller people. The Byte is designed for sailors weighing 120 to 145 pounds although most sailors weighing 90 to 160 pounds should have no problems sailing this boat. He thought we should have a fleet for youth and lighter men and women that was as fun and educational as the Lasers. Built as a performance boat, the scows are particularly fun for those interested in racing and becoming a competitive sailor. However, due to their size, many people enjoy sailing the scows at Hoofers for fun, the most popular being either the C-scow or the E-scow. floridapremierbaseball.com/images/files/Car-and-truck-repair-manuals.pdf Scows can be sailed with a variety of people on board, the most common number being two and going up to five. Come and check out the Scow Fleet for all your racing interests if you're down at the Lakefront! Scow Racing. Scow Manual Designed by Gary Mull (of America's Cup lineage) and Frank Butler, it was intended to be Catalina Yacht's answer to the highly successful J-24. More than 1,000 Capri 22s have been built in the last 20 years. The CP22 has proven to be a stable, safe boat, yet one that is fast and fun to sail. People who have sailed this boat remark about her spacious interior and ease sail of handling.She's one of our two swing keel craft, a feature that allows trailer launching and recovering like a powerboat, yet very nearly achieves the sailing performance of a boat with a fixed keel. The Chargeback boasts a spacious cockpit, easy handling characteristics, and lightning fast rigging and de rigging thanks to the roller furling jib. She's Perfect for a day out on the water with friends and family, or as a trainer for the clubs larger cruising oriented Heavy Keelboats. Light Keelboat Racing. Light Keelboat Manuals Siege was first sailed at Hoofers in the summer of 2017 while Sassafras and Rhubarb started their Hoofer careers in the 2018 season. Like the popular J24, the T-10s are a one-design class meaning that they are limited to the same sails, crew size and other modifications to keep racing competitive based on skill. Experienced and beginner sailors can crew the T-10s in the Mendota Yacht Club races, learning skills such as sailing under spinnaker, fine tuning sail trim, reading the wind and geometry of a course and timing a start. See. And for more information and tips on sailing these popular boats. Norbert and Ruth Schmitz, former Hoofer members, sailed over 20 summers on the Great Lakes with their family on Spray before donating to Hoofers in 2003. Spray is built for stability with 3500 lbs of lead ballast off her keel and a centerboard that increases the draft from 4 ft to 8 ft 4 in. Lessons on Spray focus on cruising and basic sailing skills including care and use of the inboard diesel engine. With nearly a 5 ft draft and a spacious cabin the Ericson 26 is designed to be comfortable for daysailing. With a length of 27 ft and a beam of 10 ft Knotty is roomy and comfortable with many of the amenities you expect on a cruising vessel. She has a 3 ft 7 in draft with a wing keel to aid with stability and upwind efficiency.

Windsurfing Manual Windsurfing Instructional Videos In our never-ending quest to have fun on Lake Mendota, the Hoofer Sailing Club has a full fleet of Snowkiting equipment. Our local lakes are an ideal spot to start in the world of kiting — thick snow-covered ice and strong winter winds make learning easy. Our curriculum begins with a focus on developing strong kite skills and safe practices in lessons at local parks, then for advanced lessons we move onto frozen lake Mendota in the winter months to teach riding on skis or snowboard. During the winter riding season we also host snowkite racing and other fun competitions for riders of all ability levels! Winter Kiting Manual. Without them, the club cannot function. This manual is intended: Both hands must be free at all times while on ladders. Climb carefully down ladders. Connect it to the stern mooring rope clips after first disconnecting from the stern. Paddle to steps. Secure end of warp to bow and stow anchor in such a way that it can be lowered easily and quickly. Connect petrol hose to engine with arrow on bulb facing the engine, the other end facing the tank. Lower the engine (shallow drive if in shallow water) Once RIB is afloat, retrieve wheels or return trailer to dinghy park. Squeeze bulb on petrol line until hard. If engine does not start after four pulls repeat above. If engine still does not start, call for assistance. Do not engage reverse as it will have no effect. To do this head a few hundred yards out to sea, stop the boat, wait till it settles and then use wool, wet finger or whatever works for you to detect wind direction. Check that you can see them. Keep to this convention to avoid confusing the fleet. Always place the Inner Distance Mark either on the line or on the pre-start side of it.You can move the Harbour Mark back a little for the finish if you need to, but always keep the IDM in the same position. This keeps them out of your vision and avoids conflict with other boats. Boats that were over the line must come back to cross the line once again. In this case the patrol boats may inform the fleet of the general recall signal. This is best done whilst the fleet is on its first leg. You will then be able to see more, travel quicker and be far more comfortable. You think that for their own safety they should be helped. They are managing the incident well but some other boat requires your assistance more urgently. They right the dinghy and sail away.We can then help the sailors to bring their boat to the capsize position where the sail is level with the water by heaving on the jib sheet and or pushing down on the side of the boat. The helm and crew will most likely want to take down and stow the kite before righting the boat. The quickest way of rescuing the sailors might be to cut the wire. It is therefore of the greatest importance, that a patrol boat can get to a capsized dinghy quickly and ascertain if crew are safe. Consequently when these boats invert, there is very little air trapped under the boat. Therefore it is imperative that action is taken in the quickest possible time. Once alongside, kill the engine, and if further than an arm's length away, offer the person the end of a paddle, and then bring that person on board. When the two bows are closely aligned, it is impossible to turn away from the boat being towed. Some boats are more delicate than others, and so may have to be towed more slowly. No tow should be done at speed, as there is little control of the boat being towed and damage might occur, or even an injury. At the end of the towing bridle there is a float and an eye or a loop in a rope. Tie a sheet bend onto the eye by feeding the end of the towed dinghies painter through the eye, to the tows desired length, then continue round the back so that it completely encircles the eye. Tuck in what then becomes two lengths of rope, under the loop of the rope coming out of the eye. The line will be released from under the bridle loop, and the boat being towed will be free. This is a good knot to use, to have complete control as to when to release the towed dinghy. If towing more than one boat, then all boats except of the end boat should have their daggerboards and rudders all the way up, with again the rear boat having some steerage way. The patrol boat will try and manoeuvre so that the towline will pass arm's length away from the becalmed boat. The crew member can then pick up the rope and pull himself up close to the stern of the towing boat. He should attach the painter of his boat to the tow rope using a rolling hitch, passing the end of the painter over the towrope around and back over its own standing part. Now pass the end of the painter under the last two turns or rolls and pull tight. In the meantime the dinghy being towed should keep his rudder slightly facing towards the tow rope, thereby steering his boat away from the tow line. Care has to be taken by all concerned, not to allow the tow rope to go under their boats. If possible it is best to keep going very slowly ahead, especially if the dinghies attached start to lose formation. Once the tow rope goes under a boat it is difficult to re-form properly and damage may occur. To complete the operation, you may be required to do individual tows to the beach. This will help keep the bow of your boat facing into the waves. When the anchor is fully paid out, or before you are too close to the surf, make fast the anchor rope. Throw a heaving line to the disabled craft. The OOD will decide whether to contact the emergency services and whether to continue with the event. They would probably include members or associates of the participating crews, who often listen in to keep abreast of what is happening,generally. If an emergency, the OOD and all crews will want to concentrate all their energies on resolving the situation without the risk of outsiders interrupting, asking questions or attributing blame. If you would normally be able to see the starboard green light of a vessel crossing, then you have right of way. Large vessels need to keep up their speed to manoeuvre. The first decision is whether to tackle the job with the mast up or down. If you have enough time together with the availability of a mast lift, then mast down is by far the easier option. The whole project will be much easier with the mast horizontal and chocked up on firm ground and accessible to work. You may even elect to carry out the upper mast inspection after lowering the mast to save going aloft in a bosuns chair. You will be able to purchase each wire with swaged terminals at both ends finished and ready to fit. You can order yourself online or with help from the Jimmy Green Rigging Team. You can take confidence from the fact there is a good deal of adjustment on the rigging screws to allow for any minor errors in measurement. If the mast has to remain stepped, you need a slightly different approach, generally involving the purchase of each wire over long with the top terminal swaged. The bottom end will need to be finished in situ by cutting to the exact length and fitting a DIY swageless (mechanical) terminal. Modern Swageless terminals from Sta-Lok or Petersen are fairly simple to fit so you can be confident of success. This need not be as technical as it sounds - you just need to be sure that you are copying a rig that works well. The essentials are mast rake and bend, athwartship vertical alignment and correct tensioning. The aim of the game is to replicate the old rig with a new one within parameters that allow for adjustment and tuning. Look for extra unnecessary shackles or toggles which may have been added to compensate for the wire being too short and determine whether they can be omitted from the new rig. 2. Consider any design or specification alterations The next step is to survey all aspects of the rigging including an assessment of whether the existing is the right design and specification for your anticipated purposes e.g Coastal, Offshore or Ocean Cruising, occasional or hard core racing. 3. Close inspection of all components Carry out a thorough inspection of the rigging including all the wire, terminals and clevis pins. Establish the size of every component and make notes. A good quality pair of callipers is an invaluable investment for producing accurate results. Alternatively, Team Jimmy Green can readily produce a costing based on the same information. 4. Take photos Take photos of everything including zoomed in detail of anything you are not sure about and any others that will serve as a reminder when fitting the new shrouds and stays. Check for any signs of wear or structural damage and identify the probable cause. Problems can occur for many reasons e.g.
