Apr 21, 2014. After an uneven day of racing on Saturday, the William Smith College rowing team bounced back to win all three of its races on Lake Quinsigamond on Sunday. 3 ranked Heron varsity eight led the way, besting a field that included No. 8 Tufts and No. Sunny skies, a slight tail wind, and a.

Goughy/Rhys/Steve/Greg Wondering if you guys (or anyone else) can advise on a quick way of working out optimal positioning of tracks for sheeting the genoa? That is before I turn my decks into an imitation of swiss cheese using trial and error. Because Of The Internet Childish Gambino Full Album Download. Hoping to setup secondary angled tracks for when the Genoa is the sail of choice (which will be anytime I rustle up a crew bigger than your average toddler - having the same gravitational issue as Goughy complains of).

Seems historically a good point of general reference is relative to a line intersecting the chain plates, for the std jib this is 45-60mm forward of that and some tweaking of the jib location on the halyard (thanks Don J) - seem to recall this positioning is roughly the intersection of a line from half way along the luff through the tack. For the genoa is it roughly the same process? Any consensus yet on how far back from the chain plate line the most inboard end of the tracks for the genoa are? Looking at the Hood Genoa at the moment. Thanks Shane - Qld 9656 Mk1 GRP/Timber Don Jamieson 21.12.10 22:40. Dear Shane, First establish your preferred mast rake, as that has considerable impact on the track position.(see pages 44 and 45 of the Handbook). For the regular jib, using a Brewer pattern or similar, the cross wise track is positioned with the outside end about in line with cross beam and the inside edge at the carlin about 90mm forward of the line joining the chain plates.

This inboard position is a bit different for each sailmaker and should be set up with the jib sheet projecting half way up the cloth luff, and the jib tack (or toe) about 20mm above the lowest position that you can position the cloth on the forestay. (This starting position for the jib cloth is to provide some room for fine-tuning the sheeting angle which can only be done by moving the cloth up or down the forestay, or changing the mast rake, which you may not wish to do.) For the genoa, go through the same procedure. Start by taping the second track to the deck parallel to and 70mm aft from the first track. As a check on the angle of the track you can refer to the photo on page 42 of the Heron handbook. The angle shown here does not correspond exactly to an arc of a circle with the jib tack as the centre, ( as a good engineer might expect). It is desirable to have more curve in the foot of the jib/Genoa when it is sheeted right out. Having the track angled a bit forward of the 'theoretical' arc ensures that the headsail is sheeted fuller when reaching.

Shane 22.12.10 01:26. Nyo 4 0 Keygen For Mac here. Hi Shane, Sorry I've taken ages to reply. Busy time of the year for us caterers:) I can't add too much to Don's detailed instructions.

I was a little less scientific (mostly done by eye). However, I have two minor suggestions. Firstly, I have found that the genoa seems to require a little more leach tension than the jib.

For this reason I have set the inboard position sheeting angle such that the projection of the jib sheet is about 55 - 60% up the jib luff. Secondly, just to reinforce that as Don has suggested, the outboard sheeting position is actually quite a long way forward of the theoretical sheeting arc. I spent some time experimenting with the genoa rigged up in my front yard testing different reaching angles compared to the sheeting angle to choose the outboard position for the genoa. I also wished to avoid any extra holes in my nice cedar deck! Cheers, Greg Shane 23.12.10 03:55.
