Legendary sailmaker Carol Hasse shows us how to tell your jib from your genoa and how to manage headsail trim for better performance.

One of the progenitors of Port Townsend's maritime trade renaissance, Hasse has over 45,000 blue water miles under her keel and 40+ years of sailmaking experience.

Off Center Harbor is a hub of authentic maritime knowledge bringing people inside the world of good boats - like how to build, buy, and repair them, and how to use, love, and enjoy them.

Before you go cruising, there are some important skills to master on a catamaran to keep you and your family out of harms way, or know how to recover if you get into trouble. We interview experience catamaran skipper Brett Hodder about the important skills that are now taught in a new RYA Day Skipper course with Pacific Sailing School onboard cruising catamarans, plus insights from Pacific Sailing School Principle Terry Wise.

Wer ums Funkgerät lieber einen Bogen macht, dem sei dieses Wissensstück empfohlen. Andreas Fritsch frischt die Kenntnisse um die drahtlose Kommunikation auf.

!! Zu den Anmerkungen, das die Sendeleistung nicht die Lautstärke beim Empfänger verändert:

Wir hatten diesen Hinweis aufgrund einer Anmerkung eines Funk-Ausbilders ins Video integriert. Nach Rückfrage bei Technikern hat sich jetzt bestätigt, dass dies nicht richtig ist.
Der Unterschied 1 Watt/25 Watt in der Sendeleistung verändert nicht die Lautstärke des Gesprochenen beim Empfänger. Die Techniker wiesen aber darauf hin, dass eine auf 25 Watt Sendeleistung eingestellte Anlage, die räumlich sehr nahe zum Empfänger ist (z.B. Vor einer Schleuse oder Hafenmeister, Boot in unmittelbarer Nähe) dazu führen kann, dass dieser nicht mehr den gesprochenen Text, sondern nur noch ein lautes Rauschsignal hört, weil der Empfänger mit der sehr nahen, sehr starken Aussendung überfordert ist.

Although it may seem crazy to sail around the world, once you analyze the various wind patterns and hurricane seasons and with a bit of planning it’s quite reasonable for anyone with a sense of adventure to do the same. There’s lots of ways to sail around the world. If you’re racing, you often use storms in the southern ocean to propel you along. It’s a completely different approach. One that requires serious boats that are built for those conditions. We on the other hand sail around the world by staying more or less in the trade wind belts. This stacks the odds in our favour. We often have the wind and waves behind, pushing us along and stay warm in the non-stop tropical conditions.

Take anchoring seriously and you can be secure in almost all conditions. Many anchors are only suitable for ‘normal’ conditions, they fail in strong wind or a difficult seabed. Anchor dragging is a menace in any anchorage, and it’s not necessary.

The new generation, high holding power anchors are a big improvement over the traditional anchors, particularly on bottoms with poor holding. But I suggest using a size larger than recommended for extra security when it matters.

The traditional chain scope calculation, using a simple multiplier, is not correct due to the curvature of the chain. 15m (50ft) plus double the depth is better calculation. But always put out more chain in challenging conditions.

Caterary formula.
Chain length = Sqrt(2 x Horiz load x Depth/Chain wt + (2 x Depth))
Where Chain wt = Chain mass per unit length x 6.9/7.9 to allow for buoyancy
http://home.earthlink.net/~w6rmk/math/catenary.htm
Formula works for metric or imperial.
The catenary shown is for 10mm chain (2.28kg/m), with a 100kgf horiz load. This matches observations of the chain on our 45ft yacht in about 25kts of wind.
