Please feel free to add your favorite sailing links that would be helpful to Nevermore sailors

Nautical Terminology

http://www.seatalk.info has an excellent and extensive nautical dictionary

Knots

If you are going to sail regularly, it's important you know how to tie a bowline, how to cleat properly, and how to do a clove hitch. If you might have a winch overrun, or get a lobster trap line in your prop, you'll want to have learned the rolling-hitch.

http://www.iwillknot.com/ has videos on how to tie knots

Racing

• http://www.phrfne.org/page : Performance Handicap Racing Fleet - New England
  • (http://www.phrfne.org/page/567 Handicap page shows T37-1 CB base handicap 177 (08Sep07),
    other h'caps therein include: T37-1 (174), T37-2 (129), T37-3 Scheel keel (126)).

• http://www.massbaysailing.org/ : Mass. Bay Sailing Association (racing)
  • (click "offshore" to get to big-boat racing info: schedule, previous years' results, etc)
  • yyyy - the "200x Mass Bay Sailing Offshore Book" link describes all MBSA races for the year
  • 2007 race [results] page 2 shows Nevermore's predecessor Aleida had 3-way tie
    with 9 boats finishing ahead and 46 after in Flip-Flop pursuit race)
  • 2001 - 2005 offshore race [results] shows Aleida standings when raced by MIT crews
• 2006 TODO: find Aleida's results in Buzzards Bay (or Figawi?) racing, where some MIT racer reported seeing her
• personal websites:
  • 2001 - 2005 racing [summary] outlines Aleida's MIT racing career and personnel who raced
  • 1983, 1985, 2007 racing [summary] outlines Nevermore's races by former owner, and by MIT crew

Maritime Regulations

• American Boatschool [website] has general info about the course that 4 former Aleida captains
  and 3 prospective Nevermore skippers are using Jan-June 2008.

• Boatwise CG license course [material] has USCG application forms with same version levels
  as American Boatschool application packet handed out to class @ May08
  Note: Aleida skippers upgrading to 6-pack tickets aren't actually using this school's offerings

• [USCG Merchant Marine Licensing] site seems to have general, and possibly specific, info needed to apply for 6-pack;
  One navigation path is Charter Boat Capt. | OUPV in top menu list
  • [package] has same pages as Capt. Mike's handouts c.Feb08, except with more pages (10 total)
    but without the fill-in forms
  • this site is too inscrutable for Thom to find the actual data forms needed too (May08)
    and we like the "Boatwise" site above for these forms

• Grossetti [License Consulting] website has many links, including
  • packages of forms for applying for licenses (similar to ones given us by Boatwise)
  • look up CG-documented boats (owner, size, etc., by official number or by name) (NOAA)
  • definition of the USCG's "inland" vs "near coastal" Boundary Line for licensing
  • vessel equipment checklists

• "Near coastal" boundary line definition Federal Regulations [CFR Title 46 section 7 Boundary Lines]

(queerly, section 7.1 General Purpose(s) of Boundary Lines does NOT identify how USCG uses this line
to specify licenses as "near shore" -vs- 100 miles off shore?]
