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 did raising/lowering sails and other sail adjustments work on old sailing ships?
Q. Working on a bit of writing and need to have at least a basic understanding of how the crew would lower/raise and do other adjustments to the sails of ships. The older type of ship the better. If you know and can type it in, that's cool, but if you can just point me to some websites, that'd be cool too.

A. On the old windjammers ( square rigged vessels such as the U.S. Constitution ) the sails are opened by untying the Reefing ties which bind the closed sail to the upper yardarm and ropes ( properly called cables but actually wound hemp rope ) pulling down are drawn tight and secured to belays or pins mounted along the rail of the ship. The sails are closed or Reefed by sailors who would actually climb out on the yardarm and pull the sails up by hand and tying them to the yardarm with the Reefing ties - the sails were made of heavy canvas and it would take 6 sailors to Reef each sail - frequently this was done because the wind was becoming too strong and unpredictable due to an approaching storm and it was necessary to reduce the amount of… [cont.]

Examples of sailing ships performing actual open ocean naval ambush?
Q. I am trying to study examples of actual naval ambushes conducted in open oceans (not seas) in the sailing ship era. Replies with URL links are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How did ocean going sailing ships enter a navigable river and sail upstream against the current?
Q. I'm interested in the historical period around 1780. For instance how did ships get to New Orleans, up the Mississippi, from the Gulf.
Asked by James - Tue Apr 28 23:10:02 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. square riggers simply could not go upstream without a favorable wind. The technique was to wait for the tide and sail in as close as possible. In most harbors, ships would anchor outside the harbor and be serviced by smaller 'lighters' which were rowed or sailed back and forth to unload harbor. In some harbors, a ship might be manhandled into the inner harbor by men or animals pulling lines along a quay. Occassionally a ship might be pulled by crew rowing ships boats, but this was not feasible when a strong current was present.

If we can sail through space in big sailing ships, why can't they take off using big hot air balloons?
Q. We have seen hot air balloons go as high as the edge of space, so why not use them to carry up the giant sailing ships. Then release the ballon when no longer needed?
Asked by jax - Mon Sep 25 11:59:50 2006 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments
A. A balloon can get you way up in the atmosphere. But it can't get you all the way out of the atmosphere, otherwise what would hold up the balloon? So you go up as high as you can, and you deploy your sail. The friction with the atmosphere would prevent the sail from accelerating very much---it would reach "terminal velocity" in the air at a very low speed, much, much lower than the 50,000 km/hr you need to get into orbit. What would work is to lift a rocket with a ballon (this is called a "rockoon"), fire off the rocket to get into a high orbit, then deploy your sail.
