What do the icons on ancient sails mean?
Q. Ancient mariners used to put icons on their sails such as a cross, a chevron, or a saint. Is there a web site that shows and discusses the significance of some of these icons?

A. A cross of any sort represented a belief in Christ. A saint was a way of asking the saint to bless their ship and voyage. I'm not sure about the chevron. Maybe it meant keep this end up. Mike

If a sailboat with open sails had a strong fan on the back blowing air into the sails, which way would it go?
Q. Ok, picture this: A sailboat is on flat, calm water, with no wind. The sails are open. A fan is on the rear end of the sailboat blowing an unlimited amount of air into the sails. Would the sailboat go forward, or reverse?
Asked by Daniel P - Fri Nov 2 23:30:47 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Probably backwards - the fan would provide thrust along the axis of the ship in the reverse direction, some of that thrust would hit the sails, and might be deflected, providing some forward vector, but the fan would be the dominant source of force and would act to back the boat up. (look at an airboat in swamps in FL and Louisiana.

A. Clear the snails as soon as possible beacasue if you dont they will be a head ache as they breed asexually. They will be so many if you dont clean them but if you do rite now they'll be gone soon. Where they came from? petsmart or fishstores plants are always contaminated with these snails and if you dont wask them properly before setting them up , this is what happens. (100% true) Yes so wash them carefully and then put in the tank. Since they are very few now , I;'ll just take them out with net and throw them away or kill them. So start picking those snails now to avoid later problems. Hope it helps .

In historically accurate sailing movies like "Master and Commander", why do the sails have ropes on them?
Q. The ropes look to be about three or four feet long, and they are in horizontal lines every eight feet or so, but those numbers may all be wrong as its hard to get a look at them. I'm not sure if they're for tying down the sails, but that's by best guess.

A. They are called "reef points" They are found on the top sails; second sail up from the bottom of the mast. They are use to make the sail smaller in heavy weather.

On your second shot, you hit the 150 yard marker and the ball sails out of bounds, what is the ruling?
Q. The yard marker is a tall pole, on a hill, so you can see it from the tee box, the first shot drops 10 yards short of the marker, the second shot, hits the pole and sails out of bounds into the woods. Where is the ball marked and what is the ruling on what penalty strokes are accessed?
Asked by Tim Dillick - Thu Oct 8 22:38:27 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Never heard of a tall pole used as a yardage marker. However, any vertical yardage marker I've ever encountered was removable so that if the marker was in your line of flight it could be removed so you could take tour shot and then placed back in the hole from where it was removed. If that was the case and you took the shot without exercising your option to remove the marker then you incur the out of bounds penalty.

A. If they are indeed shade sails they will have grommets on the corners. If I remember correctly, shade sails are mostly triangular, correct? Well, all you need to do is put a bent nail on a post, hook a grommet to it, the tie a rope through the other two grommets and open it up to the desired angle. If there are four corners, put one corner on the bent nail, and the opposite corner on a guy line pulled tight on a post. Now all you need to do is determine how tight you want the sides to provide the shade you need. Cheers!

Why do modern windmills have such thin sails?
Q. I would have thought wide sails would use more wind & produce more power through the force available to turn heavy turbines?
Asked by Jac - Thu Aug 27 18:22:44 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Modern windmill rotor blades are like the wings of a plane. They have one curved surface and one flat one and this is what gives them the turning power. They don't have to have a large surface area to do this. Just like a plane, more surface area facing the wind just adds more drag. In the case of the windmill, this would put more force on the tower, so it would have to be stronger and more expensive.

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.

You actually go faster trimmed, (set up,) this way than if you were "running" which is with the wind directly at your back.

A. actual sail material is "Dacron"...sun awnings and screens on boats is a fabric whoe's best known trade name is Sunbrella...Sunbrella holds up to sunlight way better than Dacron...try www.sailrite.com for a good source, or Defender Industries in New York...almost nothing is mildew proof; dont put the fabric away wet, spray it with Lysol or a very weak bleach mixture every now and then...
