Also does anyone know how to "fuse" the gingerbread together in a manner that does not involve using royal icing, so that is would appear "cleaner"? Asked by The Chosen One - Sat Dec 20 16:59:03 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. You could use Pepperidge Farm Pirouette cookies for cannons. They aren't strictly candy but close enough. And you could use licorice wheels for the cannon wheels. Fruit Roll Ups are a good consistency for the sails but are oddly colored for that purpose. Maybe rice or tapioca paper. Not exactly candy, still. If you're up for it, you could try melting down some sugar and using that to hold the pieces together. I don't know anyone who's tried that and I don't work with melted sugar much so I'm not sure what things could go wrong with it, but you'll probably have to hold the pieces together yourself for a while as the sugar syrup will take longer to set up than royal icing. The simple syrup won't work because it doesn't get gooey or set up,… [cont.] Answered by Kel - Sat Dec 20 17:11:07 2008 How are boats using sails able to return to their starting place? Q. All those boats using a sail and traveling upwind, like the old time galleys using a sail, once they reach their destination how are they able to return to where they came from? Asked by stelcha - Mon Jul 23 12:48:27 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's called "tacking." It would be easier to explain to you if I could draw a picture. Think of the sail as an air foil. When the wind blows straight from the boat, (front,) the sail will luff, (flap.) However, if you turn slightly to one side or the other the sail will fill with air and start moving forward. The best point of sail is what's called a "close reach" or "close haul." That is when the wind is 30-60 degrees off the bow of the boat blowing toward you. You actually go faster trimmed, (set up,) this way than if you were "running" which is with the wind directly at your back. Understanding this, you maneuver the boat in a zig-zag manner, (tacking,) into the wind. There's whats called a "beam reach," which is with the wind at 90… [cont.] Answered by Iceman - Mon Jul 23 13:21:09 2007 can a person under 21 reserve a cruise if he is 21 by the time the ship sails?
