The proper proportion of salt in his veins that a British boy ought to have
The sort of dinghy we’re told a boy should have. Now that part seems fair enough! Have you got the proper proportion of salt in your veins? These days they say too much salt in your veins causes osmotic pressure leading to raised blood pressure, which leads ultimately to end-organ damage. But it wasn’t always like this, and certainly not when they were busy bringing up the breed that led men into the dreadful battles of World War 1. I’ve been reading The Complete Yachtsman by B Heckst

Build a sailing canoe for $15
How to build the $15 canoe, 1876-style The $15 figure is at 1876 prices, I’m sorry to say. In this excerpt from a Scientific American Supplement dated that year, Victorian-era writer Paddlefast provides offsets and the rest for a canoe with a simple hull that looks eminently buildable by  either clinker or strip-planking methods. In our time, we’d build it with water-tight compartments fore and aft, but many details could easily remain the same. For example, clever details here includin

Free Scandinavian-style skiff boatbuilding plans
Mark Wallace’s elegant Black Skiff Boatbuilding plans for the Black Skiff have been designed and made available for free by Mark Wallace - he says all he asks for is to be given the credit for designing the boat. I think it’s an elegant design. The plans are not likely to be the easiest for first-time boatbuilders to follow, but it would be well worth picking the required skills up by reading one of the classic books on this kind of boatbuilding.

Fireball Youth Sail LBSC

Fireball highlights from the Largs Bay Sailing Club Youth Sail. This years Nationals to be held at Harvey Bay QLD. World Championships to be held in WA, Australia 2010/11. Start practicing! http://www.fireballsa.yachting.org.au/ The Fireball is a high performance two-person dinghy that offers exciting sailing, intense competition and a great social life off the water. The Fireball hull and plans are strictly one design. Class rules allow you to vary the position and design of equipment to suit your own weight and style of sailing. The Fireball is an international class with fleets in every region of the world. The association conducts annual World, Continental, National and State Championships. Fireballs are a delight to sail in strong winds. The weight and strength of the crew is not as important as the tuning of the boat. If capsized, the boat can easily be righted and can be sailed without bailing. The trapeze and sail handling require skill rather than strength. The thrills of trapeze and spinnakers are hard to match in any type of sailboat.
