Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Based on a single boat designed and built by Herresoff, for Mr. Willoughby Stuart in 1932. (Herreshoff design #53). Series production didn’t began until 1985?. Thanks to ‘Hal’ for providing corrected information. Molded by Edey & Duff. Finished by Ballentines’s Boat Shop.

Stuart Knockabout

L.f. herreshoff design 53, stuart knockabout: the legacy.

This boat is a descendant in a long line of great Herreshoff creations. In this case, L. Francis succeeded admirably in utilizing all his earlier experience and familiarity with his father's great designs, advancing them with his own independent genius and artistry. What evolved is his own pure creation, and an exceptional daysailer.

The Stuart Knockabout is a splendid example of her pedigree. She is exceptionally fast and, therefore, a joy to sail. She also has surprising power, considering her modest sail plan, and is not slowed perceptibly by an oncoming sea. She is comfortable and forgiving, and with every unnecessary piece of complicated gear absent, what is left is an uncluttered, simple, easily handled thoroughbred.

Every boat is, to some extent, some kind of compromise. But if you are looking for such attributes as space, comfort, ease of handling and shallow draft, combined with lots of speed in a larger elegant daysailer, you will probably not find a more qualified boat than this.

The Stuart Knockabout is an excellent option both for people wishing to upgrade from a smaller daysailer, and those wanting to experience a more simple alternative to their large cruisers. The Stuart Knockabout has been a great next step for many Herreshoff 12 1/2 sailers because the SK offers more flexibility and excitement, while retaining the classic aesthetic. The larger boat owners have also enjoyed the SK for their next boat because of it's convenience and ease of sail. How many owners of cruising sailboats habitually day-sail their boats? How much better off might some be in a really fine day-boat? The Stuart is easy to get underway and quick to put to bed with or without a crew.

The Stuart Knockabout is an excellent option both for people wishing to upgrade from a smaller daysailer, and those wanting to experience a more simple alternative to their large cruisers.

How much better off might some be in a really fine day-boat? The Stuart is easy to get underway and quick to put to bed with or without a crew.

The Knockabout's rig is really quite conservative, especially compared to other early designs. She carries only 265 sq. ft. of sail, and the plan is nicely divided for sail handling and delicately balanced steering. Despite this moderate sized sail plan, she's surprisingly fast in light winds and she certainly is when it breezes up. A good, deep-keeled, modern racing design of comparable weight and size with 100 sq. ft. more sail area may have a slight advantage in real light going, but the situation is reversed when it freshens a bit. The mainsail is equipped for slab reefing and the jib also can be reefed to its club. A Genoa can be added to her sail plan, and it really livens her up in wind under 12 knots.

Russian, Central & East European Art and Textiles

Drawnground:  pamela smith - writer and speaker, vologda lace.

6 March 2014

Our river trip in May 2013 took us through the Vologda oblast (region). We made a stop to visit the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery .  Unfortunately it was a cold, dull and drizzly day – the only dreary day we had on the trip – and I didn’t take any photographs there.

What the name ‘Vologda’ brings to mind to me is lace – Vologda being probably the most famous centre of lace-making in Russia. (Yelets in Orel province is also an important centre.) I know very little about the technique of making lace (more about embroidery and printed textiles), though I have quite a few examples in my own collection of Russian textiles. Lace features in many styles of historical Russian dress, in all layers of society.

From Russian Bobbin Lace : ‘There are two main types of lace, namely needlepoint lace, made with a needle, and bobbin (or pillow) lace – the traditional type of lace-making in Russia. Bobbin lace is made on a pillow, to which the parchment or paper pattern is pinned. A number of threads, with a pair of bobbins attached to each, are tied to the pins, and the bobbins are moved from side to side to form a twist, a braid, or a clothlike fabric.

In turn, there are two types of bobbin lace. The first is straight lace, made on a stationary pillow and worked in one direction as a single piece, pattern and ground together. The second is part lace, which, as its name suggests, is made in a number of small pieces, afterwards hooked or sewn together, or linked by separately worked tie-bars (or brides ) or mounted on a network ground.’

Two lace mats bought at TSUM (department store in Moscow), in 1987

‘Vologodskii Sunset’: from ‘Russian Lace Patterns’ (Korableva & Cook)

Woman’s festive clothes. Kargopol, Archangel Province. Late 19th-early 20th centuries. Vologda lace stole – late 19th c. (Bobbin lace in linen thread). State History Museum, Moscow

The museum of lace in the city of Vologda features in a slideshow on the russiatrek.org blog , and some contemporary lacemakers explain their craft on a ‘Russia Today’ video .

The patchwork designs used throughout the branding of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics drew on motifs from many different Russian crafts, including Vologda lace.  Have a look at the website of Bosco , the supplier who devised the look. Click on ‘Look of the Games’ to find more about all these crafts.
