*From the previous lesson we learnt about starboard side

and port side.

*STARBOARD

*The origin of the term starboard comes from early boating

practices.

*Before ships had traditional rudders, they were steered by use of a

specialized steering oar, which was held by an oarsman located in

the stern of the ship on the right hand side as most were right-

handed sailors.

*The word starboard comes from Old English steorbord, literally

meaning the side on which the ship is steered, from the Old Norse

words stýri meaning "rudder" and borð meaning "board", the "side of

a ship".

*PORT

*An early version of "port" is larboard, which itself derives from

Middle-English ladebord or the French term bâbord. The origin

of lade has not been determined but some would connect it with

the verb lade (to load), referring to the side on which cargo was

loaded.

*The term larboard, when shouted in the wind, was presumably

too easy to confuse with starboard and so the word port came

to replace it.

*Port is derived from the practice of sailors mooring ships on the

left side at ports in order to prevent the steering oar from being

crushed.

*Starting again from the cockpit of a boat and proceeding into

the boat. We will find the following:

*Stepping down into a boat is known as going below deck and is

done by descending from the hatch/companionway.

*The first section we find is the Saloon (Salon) –

Quadrato where you can find a setee on either

side with a foldable table.

*Galley – Cucina is a kitchen aboard a vessel and

where the cooking onboard is done. In the past a

small kitchen on deck was called a camboose,

originating from the Dutch: kombuis which is still

in use today. Generally a galley has a sink, water

tap, oven/grill, top loading refrigerator and

lockers.

*Navigation Station (Chart table) – Tavolo di

Carteggio

*Heads – Bagno Most heads today have a basin,

toilet, shower, wet gear - Cerate hanging

compartment and stowage locker.

*In sailing ships of the past, the toilet was placed

in the bow for two reasons. First, since most

vessels of the era could not sail directly into the

wind, the winds came mostly across the stern of

the ship placing the head essentially downwind -

Sottovento. Secondly, if placed somewhat above

the water line – Linea d’acqua, vents or slots cut

near the floor level would allow normal wave

action to wash out the facility.

*Forecabin – Cabina di prua is the sleeping

cabine in the fore side of a boat.Generally

forecabins have vee berths and one or two

lockers. Headroom may be somewhat

limited.

*Aft Cabin – Cabina di poppa -This is the cabin

at the aft side of the boat. It normally has a

double berth and a locker.

*Cabins for good ventilation have either a

port opening or a hatch or both.

*Below the sole - pagliolato of a boat you will

find the bilge – sentina.

*In the event of a water leak, water may fill the

bilge and an electric and manual Bilge pump –

pompa di sentina is used to remove the water.

*The engine or engines of a boat can be found in

an engine box, engine bay or engine room.

*Most boats today that use an inboard motor

operates with diesel fuel. It is mostly an

essential tool for sailors as it is used for

manuevering in and out of a slip in marinas or

when the wind dies down

*DIESEL ENGINES MAKE USE OF a variety of fluids, including; diesel

fuel, lubricating oil,fresh and raw (fresh or salt) water. * Here below you have an overview of a water cooling system generally

used for a boat engine. It is divided into two systems, one is in internal

to the engine containing fresh water and anti – freeze. This draws the

heat from the engine and flows through a heat exchanger.

* The second system draws water from outside through the intake,

strainer and by means of the sea water pump through the heat

exchanger and discharged back into the sea.

*Diesel fuel is essential for running the engine and its flow

system is as follows:

* Fuel tanks. Commonly plastic or metal. - Serbatoio

* Fuel petcock valve – Valvola di alimentazione

* Primary, water separator – Filtro Acqua/carburante

*Mechanical fuel pump – Pompa di alimentazione

* Secondary fuel filter – Filtro secondario

* Injector pump – Pompa iniettori

* Injectors - Iniettori

* Return line – linea di ritorno

*Most boats today rely on electrical power, from starting – Mettere in moto o dare inizio the diesel engine, powering instrument units and providing comfort.

*Two power sources are used on board AC / DC – AC (Alternate current), DC (Direct current).

*DC is given by the 12 Volt battery pack, where the AC is provided by the 220 Volt shore power connection.

*Besides the Voltage factor a further important factor is Amperes or simply Amps - This is an important factor since it determines how much electricity is needed for various tasks – lavoro / compito.

*Starting an engine requires many amps, whereas operating a simple GPS unit takes very little.

Here is a basic schematic for

general use electric power on a

boat.

AC and DC wires found on boats

can easily be understood by

referring to the schematic wire

layout.

*On the electric panel on a boat a number of circuit

breakers (fuses) - fusibili are found.

*Every single circuit breaker is used for a relative

piece of equipment that runs on electricity, such

as:

*cabin lights – luci interne (faretti)

*anchor light – Luci di fonda

*running lights – Luci di via required for night

sailing.

*refrigerator

*instruments

*windlass – Salpa ancora. Raising anchor.

*We know that an engine is a mechanical means of

propulsion.

*On a sailboat however the main means of propulsion

are the sails - Vele.

*Most modern sailboats are sloop rig - Armate. A

sloop from Dutch sloep, in turn from French

chaloupe is a sailing boat with a single mast –

Albero and a fore-and-aft rig— they were known in

the past as Bermuda rig or more recently “Marconi”

rig, as the mast resembles Marconi’s radio antenna.

*We have seen that a sloop is a type of rig -

armamento, as also a ketch, yawl or schooner.

*However on any sailboat two types of rigging -

sartiame fisso e manovre correnti is found –

standing and running rigging.

*Standing rigging – Sartiame generally refers to

lines, wires, or rods which are more or less fixed

in position while the boat is under sail

*Forestay - Strallo

*Backstay - Paterazzo

*Shrouds - Sartie

*Chainplate - Landa


Monfalcone 15

*Running rigging – manovre correnti

*Running Rigging consists of any lines whose job it is to control parts of the Sail Boat while underway.

*The most common are as follows:

*Jib Halyard – Drizza del fiocco

*Main Halyard – Drizza di randa

*Jib Sheet- Scotta del fiocco

*Main Sheet – Scotta di randa

*Topping Lift – Amantiglio

*Out haul – Tesa base

*Down haul – Carica basso


Monfalcone 16

* Parts of a Sail

* The head – Angolo di Penna The point at which the halyard is attached and used to hoist the sail.

* The tack – Angolo di mura On a sloop rigged sailboat, the mainsail tack is connected to the mast - Albero and the boom - Boma at the gooseneck. On the same boat, a foresail – Vela di prua tack is clipped to the deck and forestay.

* The clew – Angolo di scotta The clew of a jib or other headsail is not attached to any standing rigging, to which port and starboard jib sheets are attached to control the angle of the sail. On a mainsail the clew is attached to the boom, and can often be tightened along the boom using the outhaul.

* Foot /Luff – Base/ Ralinga The foot of a sail is its lowest edge, bounded by the clew and the tack, or on some sails by the two clews. The forward (leading) edge of the sail is called the luff.

* Leach – Balumina The aft edge of a sail is called the leech

* Now we are ready to get underway – navigazione and we would leave a marina berth - Ormeggio.

* But before leaving we would consult the weather forecast – previsione meteo tide - marea and wind conditions checking things such as wind speed, wind direction, wave (swell) height, cloud cover - copertura nuvolosa and expected rainfall - precipitazione.

* Wind – Vento

* Wave – Onda

* Thunderstorm – Temporale

* Storm - Tempesta

* Lightning – Fulmini

* Warning – Avviso

* Gale – Burrasca

* Foul weather – Tempo schifoso

* Rain, snow, sleet and cold we all agree is foul weather and handling a boat in

adverse wind and sea conditions puts a skipper’s ability to great test.

*

* The prudent skipper will keep a good look out on the weather.

*When wind and seas begin to build you would need to prepare for trouble

well before it strikes. Here are some procedures to follow:

* Close and secure hatches and ports.

* Fix and chart your position as accurately as possible.

* Stow away all things and tie down all heavy gear.

* Keep emergency equipment at hand, such as life jackets, sea anchor and

flares.
