Image UK shipping forecast zones.png 250px thumb UK Shipping map Sailing By is a short piece of light music composer composed by Ronald Binge in 1963, which is used before the late Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4 . A slow waltz , the piece uses a repetitive ABABC structure and features a distinctive rising and falling woodwind arpeggio. Context and usage Sailing By is played every night on BBC Radio 4 at around 00 45hrs before the late Shipping Forecast . Its tune is repetitive, assisting in its role of serving as a signal for sailor s tuning in to be able to easily identify the radio station. It also functions as a buffer depending on when the final programme before closedown finishes, Sailing By or part of it is played as a filler as the shipping forecast starts at 00 48hrs precisely. The initial reason for its introduction was because of the indeterminate finish time for the preceding Midnight News, leading to filling music being played until the Shipping Forecast was due to start. Sailing By was added to allow for a clear break between the end of the music and the start of the forecast. In the 1990s the tune was also adopted for the weekly maritime programme Seascapes on Ireland s RT Radio 1 . Popularity Besides its intended function, Sailing By is thought of affectionately by many British radio listeners as it is considered a soothing accompaniment to bedtime.

Sailors also often refer to the cunningham as the smart pig . It is named after its inventor , Briggs Cunningham , a victorious America s Cup skipper boating skipper and yacht builder. The cunningham differs from a typical downhaul in the way that it attaches to the sail. The system usually consists of a line which is secured at one end to the Mast sailing mast or Boom sailing boom below the Parts of a sail The edges foot of the mainsail. It is then passed through a cringle in the Parts of a sail The edges luff of the sail near the foot, but above the Parts of a sail The corners tack , and then led down on the other side to a fitting on the mast or boom or on deck ship deck . The tension in the luff of the sail is adjusted using a combination of the halyard and the cunningham where fitted . The primary advantage of adjusting the cunningham is the speed and ease with which the luff tension can be changed while sailing or racing. By hauling or easing the line, the tension in the luff can be changed, thereby shifting the point of maximum draft sailing draft of the sail forward or aft, optimizing sail shape and therefore performance.

Tack is a term used in sailing that has different meanings in different contexts, variously a part of a sail, and an alignment with the wind. When using the latter sense, the maneuver of turning between starboard and port tack is either tacking sailing tacking or jibe jibing . Sail The tack is the lower corner of the sail s leading edge. On a sloop rigged sailboat, the mainsail tack is connected to the Mast sailing mast and the Boom sailing boom at the gooseneck .

Unsourced image removed Image Stephen Taber 2006.jpg right 200px thumb This vessel is on starboard tack. Tack is the alignment of a sailing vessel with respect to the wind when moving upwind that is, when the vessel s bow ship bow is pointed within 90 degrees of the wind. If the wind is to starboard , the vessel is on starboard tack , and if to port, on port tack . However, a better rule to use is to look at what side of the boat the sail is on. If the sail is on the port side of the boat you are on starboard tack and vice versa. For example, in smaller boats you will often let your sail past 90 degrees on a downwind leg and reverse the flow on the sail. This is called running by the leeward lee . In this case the wind is coming over the port side of the boat but you are still on starboard tack because the sail is on the port side. Therefore this method of determining your tack overrules the first method described.

On a sailboat , the shrouds are pieces of standing rigging which hold the mast sailing mast up from side to side. There is frequently more than one shroud on each side of the boat. Usually a shroud will connect at the top of the mast, and additional shrouds might connect partway down the mast, depending on the design of the boat. Shrouds terminate at their bottom ends at the chain plates, which are tied into the hull. They are sometimes held outboard by channels, a ledge that keeps the shrouds clear of the gunwale s. ref http tfd.com channel The Free Dictionary Channel ref ref The Lore of Ships, ed. by Bengt Kihlberg. G teborg Tre tryckare & New York Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1963. ref Shrouds are attached symmetrically on both the port nautical port and starboard sides. For those shrouds which attach high up the mast, a structure projecting from the mast must be used to increase the angle of the shroud at the attachment point, providing more support to the mast. On most sailing boats, such structures are called Spreader sailboat spreader s, and the shrouds they hold continue down to the deck. On large sailing ships, however, particularly Square rig square rigger s, the shrouds end at the projections called top sailing ship top s or crosstree s and their loads are carried into the mast slightly further down by futtock shrouds .

The aka of a multihull sailboat is a member of the framework that connects the hull ship hull to the ama sailing ama s outrigger . The term aka originated with the proa , but is also applied to modern trimaran s. ref name proaprimer cite web url http proafile.com view weblog comments a primer on proas title A primer on proas accessdate 2007 10 30 ref The design of the aka depends on the forces it will encounter when sailing. For example, there are two modern variations of the proa, the traditional or Pacific proa, with the ama to the windward side, and the modern Atlantic proa, with the ama to the leeward . The windward ama provides stability by placing the center of gravity far to the windward of the sail , so it is generally heavy. Ropes leading from the Mast sailing mast to the ama provide the force to lift the ama, so the aka must contend mainly with compressive forces, and the weight of the crew, who generally ride on a platform running between the aka. An Atlantic proa or a trimaran rely on an ama to leeward to provide stability. The ama provides stability by moving the center of buoyancy to the leeward side, and well designed leeward amas will also provide dynamic lift force lift to increase the stability further. The aka for a leeward ama must be designed to handle significant amounts of torque from the lift produced by the ama. Often trimarans will have a platform between the aka, so the crew can ride out on the windward side. While this is not truly necessary from a stability point of view the ama generally provides a tremendous amount of lift it does reduce the drag physics drag generated by the leeward ama.
