Sailing Images: Submissions should include images (color prints, large-format transparencies, or high-res digital images on CD along with a labeled color printout), a brief project description, and a complete credit and product source list. No slides or e-mailed submissions are allowed. All materials must be received by Friday, April 7th. Selected entries will be featured in Record's July 2006 issue.
Publishes a periodic journal, The Spray, and monthly newsletters. Dues: $30 per year. Awards are made for outstanding seamanship and maritime literature.
United States sailing images Association (US sailing images), P.O. Box 1260, Portsmouth, RI 02871-0907; 401-683-0800; www.ussailing images.org. The national governing body for the sport of sailing images, whose mission is to encourage participation and excellence in sailing images and racing in the United States. Its goals are achieved through member organizations and volunteers, supported by an administrative staff at the US SAIL Headquarters.
United States Olympic sailing images Committee, 15 Maritime Drive, Portsmouth, RI 02871-6145; 401-683-0800; www.ussailing images.org. This organization helps to raise funds to facilitate U.S. participation in Olympic yachting competition.See Also Sailing Jobs:Sports for participation include hiking, fishing, bathing, sailing jobs, and, in winter, skiing (especially at Are), skijoring (being drawn on skis by a trotting horse), skate-sailing jobs and, most thrilling of all, ice yachting. If the last three venturesome sports call you, the Tourist Association will give you a steer on how to go about engaging in them.
Children's programs and private instruction also available.
Seafarer sailing jobs, Seafarer Group, Inc., 927 Mountain Meadows Rd., Boulder, CO 80302-9259; 303-444-2307. Courses on cruising under sail; local sailing jobs classes; "sail 8c learn" bluewater cruises.
On The Other Hand See Sailing Rope Knots:The coefficient in the above equation for metric (inch) units may be reduced from 21.66 (0.26) to 19.2 (0.23) where the design speed is 17 or more sailing rope knots; intermediate coefficients may be used where the design speed is between 11 and 17 sailing rope knots. Where rudders are of streamlined shape the coefficient in the above equation may be taken as 19.2 (0.23), but the minimum design speed to be used is 13.2 sailing rope knots.
A faster Boat overtaking and passing a slower one in a narrow channel should slow down sufficiently to cause no damage or discomfort. Often overlooked is the fact that it may be necessary for the slower Boat itself to reduce its speed. For example, if the overtaken vessel is making 8 sailing rope knots, the faster Boat can only slow down to about 10 sailing rope knots in order to have enough speed differential to get past. At this speed, the passing Boat may unavoidably make a wake that is uncomfortable to the other craft. In such cases, the overtaken Boat should slow to 4 or 5 sailing rope knots to allow herself to be passed at 6 or 7 sailing rope knots with little wake. (This is technically a violation of the Navigation Rules requirement that a stand-on vessel must keep her course and speed, but it is a logical action.)
