the mooring cable sfioat and enables you
to pick 1t up on needing again.
The mainsail ard jib are now set and
we are brought face to face with the
question of how to sail the boat, for her
sails are tapping and she is bound to go
somewhere. 1t Is for the man at the
helm to decide. The moorings being
cast off and the boat being head to the
wind before the sails begin to draw, she
at once begins to make sternway; that
is, TO drift astern. In steering, the first
thing is to remember that the starboard
side of the boat is the right hand side
looking toward the bow, and the port
side is on the left hand. When the wind
blows over the starboard, while the boat
is going ahead, she is said to be on the
stsrboard tack, and visa versa, If the
wind is on the port side.
Now, The boat having sternway on,
and it being necessary in order to get
Roadway TO bring the wind on one side
or the other, you put the rudder or helm
over on the side opposite to that on
which you wish the wind; if you wish
the VIVID to come over the starboard, put
the helm to port and keep it there until
she falls off to port and the sails fill.
But just as soon as she begins to feel the
impulse and goes ahead, then meet her,
as the saying is. or right the helm; you
then have control of her and can make
her do as you like. Remember to sit on
the wiEdward side of the boat when
steering. This is important, as you will
find from experience. Another point
that is of the first Importance is to keep
your weather eye open, " which means
to keep a constant watch in the quarter
from which the wind is blowing, no
matter how light the wind is blowing, no
may at any moment come that way I'M
expectedly and capsize the boat. As
socn as you are fairly under way, see
that the haliards and sheets are neatly
coiled, running end beng up to avoid
suarling.
When lacking or sailing with the wind
on the side and both sails set, hold the
jib sheet in your hand, easing the strain
by passing it q turn around elect, but
in such a way that in an instant you can
let the SAIL fly; this eases the pressure on
the forward part and allows the bow to
turn toward the wind, while you aid the
movement by putting the helm down or
to leeward. The pressure of the wind
being thus reduced the boat rights if IN
danger of capsizing. This maneuver is
called luffiug. But watch the boat care
fully, and the instant the strength of the
puff has passed keep her off again and fill
the sail, or she will lose Roadway, which
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-08-03

| managed can go a long time under n
single-reefed mainsail and jib. l think
there is no prettier sailing than when it
blows just hard enough to carry that
canvas in a small sloop.
When it comes time to reef bring the
boathead to the wind and lower the jib
first, then the main sail as far as you
propose to reef it. Before you tie
single reef point, draw the two ear
rings tight to the boom, so as TO stretch
the foot of the sail firmly. The ear
rings are ropes that pass through eyelet
holes in the leech and the huff of the sail
at the ends of each row of reef points.
This is the important matter IN rsefng.
After this is done 1t is comparatively
easy to make fast the reef points. Lay
the slack of the sail as smoothly as
possible, so as not to catch the wind, and
by no means tie the reef points with
granny or bow-knots but invariably with
hard knot. Having taken in the reef
hoist ths gaf well up, and set the jib
again II you propose to carry It and keep
away on your course.
When you return to the moorlng get
out on the boat-hook and stand by the
jib haliards and down haul. Your object
is to grapple the ring in the top of the
mooriDg buoy with the boat-hook and
bring it on board. This is easier said
than done, for it requires nice calcula-
of the speed of the boat and quick eye
and hand in managing the bost-hook,
especially if you are alone in the boat.
II cannot be done under full Roadway;
but you must go past the buoy; then
bring the head OF the boat around hand
somely so as not to shake the sails and
not lose Roadway; haul down the jib and
let her glide head on up to the buoy Be
smart now in handling the boat-hook,
as you come within reach of the beckett
or ring, of the buoy, and haul it aboard,
If you miss it. you have got to get under
Roadway again, besides making a lub-
berry exhibition of yourself. 1t is well
to practice this matter OF picking up the
mooriugs, Try it in every breeze unit
you succeed every time. know of no
better lesson in tho art of boat sailing
than getting up to a mooring.
Before we close to-day's lesson upon
this subject. let me advise you always
to carry a compass with you, also q chart
of the neighborIng coast, "A lantern, q bag
of biscuit, case of water, and a can of
oil, for one never knows what emergen-
cies may occur when he goes out boat
sailing, and il is better to be on the safe
side.
