Eine Einfuhrung in die physikalischen Grundlagen des Segelsports
fur die an Naturwissenschaften interessierten Segler, die schon
immer wissen wollten, wie Segeln tatsachlich funktioniert. "Physik
des Segelns" fuhrt zunachst in die einfachen Grundsatze und
Bedingungen des Segelns ein, wie beispielsweise das
Kraftegleichgewicht wahrend der Fahrt. Anschliessend wird aus den
Eigenschaften von Luft und Wasser und den dynamischen
Grundgleichungen das Entstehen dieser Krafte dargelegt. Das Buch
raumt mit verbreiteten falschen Vorstellungen auf und schreitet
systematisch von der Betrachtung zweidimensionaler Phanomene zu
dreidimensionalen Phanomenen voran. Von Erscheinungen innerhalb der
Medien Luft und Wasser geht es weiter zu den Erscheinungen an ihrer
Grenzfl ache, den Schwerewellen des Wassers und dem damit
verbundenen Widerstand. Mit der Kenntnis aller Beitrage zur
Vortriebsleistung wird erlautert, wie sie aufeinander abgestimmt
werden mussen, um ein optimales Segeltempo zu erreichen.
Abschliessend werden zeitlich veranderliche Phanomene wie Manover
und das Arbeiten des Bootes im Seegang betrachtet, und die
Materialfestigkeit von Takelage und Rumpf diskutiert.

Helen J Rolfe “I absolutely love the Cornish Midwife series,
especially being an aspiring midwife from Cornwall. Despite being
fiction, these books never fail to motivate me to carry on studying
when things get tough and really become The Cornish Midwife
myself.” Tegan from Reading with Tegs (book blogger and trainee
midwife) “I get so absorbed in the books from the Cornish Midwife
series, I can’t put them down. The characters are like my
colleagues, a tight group of people who love the job they do. The
stories are truly captivating and make me feel like I am working
alongside the characters, as the series mirrors my working life as
a Midwifery Care Assistant so well.” Sandra Twyman, Midwifery
Care Assistant and avid reader
Naming a boat is as personal as naming a baby (even if few male
skippers would risk telling the wife that). The culmination of many
years of dreaming and penny pinching, the purchase of a boat of any
size is a huge event for any sailor, and with that comes serious
naming pressure. Many boatowners have a secret fear that someone
else got their brilliantly original name first - or ruined it for
ever by reducing its reputation to snigger-worthy opprobrium.
Sometimes it's so difficult to name a boat that skippers are
desperate enough to ask the sorts of people who think Boaty
McBoatface would be a good choice... The perfect gift for any
skipper or would-be skipper, and featuring hundreds of common and
uncommon names, this entertaining little book will answer perhaps
the most important question new owners should ask themselves: what
will this name say about me? And as everyone knows, once you've
named a boat, you never ever change it, so it also answers the
question: what is my boat name saying about me? Names will be
categorised and listed alphabetically within these chapters: - Pun
Intended (some reveal a classic wit, others reveal just how many
desperate unfunny dullards there are sailing around in yachts
called Seas the Day) - Common as Muck (bad names - Moondancer, Wave
Catcher and others that sound like names from a bad children's
novel: where they come from, why they're bad, and how to avoid
inventing another) - A Bit of Pedigree (good names - but probably
too classy for you to get away with copying them) - Don't Even Go
There (they might be uncommon these days, but sometimes there's a
good reason for that) - Word Piracy (expressions borrowed from
other languages - with varying degrees of wisdom) - Myths, Legends
and Gods (inspired by heroes and deities of cultures now lost to
the past) - The Devil's Own (don't tempt fate by calling your boat
Invincible, as the Royal Navy did each time the last one
sank/exploded - plus other superstition-violating names) With
fascinating history, a fair bit of psychology and a lot of humour,
this is the essential guide for all would-be boat owners, and
anyone buying a gift for Dad for Father's Day or Christmas.
Pete Goss became a national and international hero when he rescued
French yachtsman Raphael Dinelli as his boat sank beneath him in
the round-the-world single-handed sailing race, the Vendee Globe,
on Christmas Day 1996. In doing so Pete scuppered his own chances
in the race but was awarded the Legion d'Honneur by France's
president and made a friend for life in Dinelli. Close to the Wind
is his own story of the race and its dramas, his revolutionary
boat, Aqua Quorum, his thoughts and emotions during four months of
solitude at sea, the extraordinary surgery that he had to perform
on his own elbow and the aftermath of the rescue in the Southern
Ocean.
'Cruising Bulgaria and Romania' aims to encourage many more
yachtsmen to discover the pleasures of cruising the Lower Danube
and the western Black Sea, to visit the ports and harbours (both
antique and modern) and the miles of unspoilt beaches in these
fascinating areas. For the visiting yachtsman, the cruising areas
of Bulgaria and Romania, the River Danube, parts of the Black Sea
coast, and (in Romania) the Danube delta (a special area in its own
right), offer an interesting diversity. Despite being close
geographical neighbours, Bulgaria and Romania are culturally very
different. Bulgaria shares the Orthodox religion and Slavic
cultural roots of Russia and Serbia, whereas Romania is a country
with Latin cultural traditions similar to other western
Mediterranean countries. Srebarna Lake, the North Romanian Black
Sea coast, Kamchia and Strandja and the Danube Delta are
internationally important as nature reserves and as homes to some
rare and endangered species. The River Danube is one of Europe's
most ancient thoroughfares, but between Vienna and Bratislava the
number of vessels on the river drops dramatically and the area is
still relatively unknown to foreign boats. Nicky Allardice has
lived and worked in both countries and his guide is based on
extensive first-hand experience.
