How can I crew on a sailing ship?
Q. I've always wanted to be part of a crew on a sailing ship, with masts, sails, and ropes- like the HMS Beagle, for example. Do you have to be on a career track, or can you be hired for short lengths of time? Does anyone know what training you'll need beforehand, and where you could be hired? Any info would be appreciated!

A. Your best bet is with the ASTA (American Sail Training Association)... I have attached (the first) link below. It really is simply a case of commitment and determination. If you really want it, you can do it. So, get with them, and do what you have to do. The second link is just for your information... Most all the tall ships are associated with the ASTA, so once you get involved, it will open doors for you to sail/train on other vessels. Happy and Safe Boating. John

what kind of ship looks better? Wind powered sailing ships or fuel injected steel ships?
Q. I know that steel ships outclass a wooden or wind powered ships but what type of ship looks better?For me it's the sailing ships.Because they seem so graceful.

A. Well that's the thing isn't it. A modern steel cargo vessel is purely built to move the biggest load for it's length and regardless of the weather. Basically a brutal box with a blunt point at the front. Sail power was the only way to go for centuries - yet the goal was the same, to move the most stuff and make profit. Pleasure boats on the other hand are built to please the senses first, so there is a fundamental shift in the design brief. I personally don't find the gin palaces or 'motor yachts' very attractive (if it hasn't a sail it is not a yacht to me, no matter how much braid you put on your designer sailing cap and how much polished sepele mahogany veneer is on the cabin walls...) and find the use of 1800 ltrs of diesel to… [cont.]

How does an old sailing ship's (Elizabethan era) steering system work?
Q. I'm aware that not all the old sailing ships used wheels, but those are the kind that I'd like to learn about. I know the names of certain parts (wheel, whipstaff, tiller, etc), but are there any good explanations of how all the parts work together to move the rudder? Better yet, are there any videos showing such a thing being built or deconstructed? I'm writing something about old style sailing ships and it'd really help me out to get a better grasp on how this works.

A. I think the links below is going to be the best you will find. However, there is really no "rocket science" involved here... the techniques of steering a larger sailing vessel has not really changed at all - except now on large sailboats the added use of hydraulics has made the steering easier. The wheel vs the tiller is still a matter or personal preference; both of course, are used to turn the rudder. Most sail boats under 30 feet (for example) still use a rudder, while over 30 feet will use a wheel... In some cases, a sailboat over 70 feet will also have hydraulics to make the steering easier.

Basically a five dimensional, interactive problem. Sailing ships were all thrust and direction, lift was provided by the displacement of the ocean by their hulls, rotation controlled by their length and rudders, and the problem is primarily only two-dimensional. Balloons obtain their buoyancy the same way as any ship, by the weight of air displaced by their lighter-weight volume. One could surround the balloon with sails, not like a sloop which would cause it to rotate to minimize the wind effect, but with sails above and below to give balanced thrust, and both… [cont.]

The Valor is slightly newer though so I'd pick that. The Glory being slightly older doesn't have the seaside theater yet but it says it's coming soon so by this winter it might. The Valor does and so do 7 other ships (Freedom, Splendor, Liberty, Victory, Triumph, Destiny and Conquest) But if the itinerary is the same, go with whichever one has the best price.

A. There is such a thing as an "even keel". But, "even keel" is also a very popular saying. If someone is on "the straight and narrow" he or she is also on an "even keel". He shoots straight, tells no lies, and "walks the line". On sailboats, we all like to think our vessel's "keel" is even. That means it is straight bow to stern, forward to aft. The keel of course is that big blade looking thing at the bottom of a boat's hull, that keeps your vessel sailing straight. You can see the keel (red extension at the bottom of the boat) in the picture at the link below... Happy & Safe Boating, John

At noon, ship A is 20 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 21 knots and ship B ?
Q. At noon, ship A is 20 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 21 knots and ship B is sailing north at 18 knots. How fast (in knots) is the distance between the ships changing at 4 PM? (Note: 1 knot is a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour.) Can someone help me with this?

A. this is just the Pythagorean theorem during the four hours a will travel west 84 miles and b north 72 miles now make a right triangle and find the square root of these two numbers and label side a and b with those figures then since in any right triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. just add side a and b together to get the answer.

Is it legal to carry a gun on board of a ship when sailing in foreign waters but not stopping anywhere?

A. Hello Your first problem would be where to get it as you cannot legally own one in the U.K. You would have to abide by the laws in the country that you bought it and took it aboard your boat. Whilst in international waters I believe you would be OK but watch out if checked out by customs as you will have to comply with the laws regarding guns in any countries water that you are on. For example if you boarded your boat in the USA with a legally registered gun then you would be OK until you enter U.K waters as you are not legally allowed to own one here regardless of who you are. Unless you are in one of the forces and then only the one you are issued with. I am an Ex Army sniper that was based in N.I for 18 months and used to have a Cross… [cont.]
