Sailing Vacation
Mallorca - For Your Next Sailing Vacation
By D. Browall
A yacht charter in Mallorca and Menorca are packed with the
most exciting ride of your life. The two places have thousands
to offer to its visitors - from its beaches, ancient buildings,
annual festivals and fiestas, caves, and architectural
treasures. For instance, Mallorca (also known locally as
"Majorca"), has a lot of beach resorts, stalagmite caves, and
ancient monasteries. Moreover, the island is also famous for its
bird watching activities especially in Puerto Pollensa.
Meanwhile, Menorca has some of Europe's most protected and
stunning coastlines. In fact, the UNESCO proclaimed the island
as a Biosphere Reserve in 1993. Furthermore, it also has
beautiful gorges where different kinds of rare and exotic
flowers bloom.
Sailing in Mallorca and Menorca and bird watching are an
interesting combination. There are thousand of birds that either
nests or migrate in Mallorca. These include the Marmora's
Warbler, Scoop Owls, Moustached Warbler, Audouin's Gull,
Eleonora's Falcon, and the Black Vulture. These birds are
considered to be rare and can only be found in the country.
Roughly around 200 species of birds called the island their
home. The best place to watch birds is in Puerto Pollensa. This
is because its area is close to to Albufuera marsh.
On the other hand, the island of Minorca has also a lot of
wildlife. Evidences of this include its densely forested areas,
flush vegetation, and affluent fauna. About 15 percent of the
whole island is covered with trees and plants. In fact, there
are more than hundreds of plant species that can be found in
Minorca. These include the capers, chamomile, prickly pears,
wild fig, canes, rushes, and myrtle. Of the many trees in the
area, the most numbers belong to the wild olive tree. When it
comes to animals, the island has a lot of wild birds such as the
Egyptian vultures, booted eagles, hawks, and red kites. In this
place, hundreds of migrant birds occupy the sky with its bright
and attractive feathers. The best time to watch birds is during
the spring season - from the month of April to May.
Mallorca has many sheltered coves and nice harbors which are
well worth a visit, such as Andraitx, Pollensa and Alcudia.
The coast of the 'calas' ('coves') is to be found on the
south-east coast of Mallorca. This includes Porto Colom which is
the best natural harbor and anchorage in Mallorca and possibly
in the whole of the Balearic Islands.
You can also visit the nature reserve of Cabrera Island (you
need a special permission for this) then continue up the east
coast of Mallorca and sail across to Menorca where you can visit
the nice harbor of Mahon.
Ibiza and Formentera are only a days sailing away. Ibiza town
offering culture and great night life, contrasting with its
neighbouring island of Formentera, with its relaxed attitude and
beautiful beaches.
Meanwhile, the island of Menorca can offer its gently sloping
hills and fertile forests. yacht charter in Mallorca and Menorca
can be best enjoyed as you along with your trip visit this
island. The place, especially on the northern region, has been
well known because of its thick and lush vegetations. On the
other hand, the island's southern section is filled with sandy
beaches.

Tricks and Tips to Successfully Painting your Yacht, Part 1 - The Hull
By Phil Salthouse
When the time has come to paint your boat there are plenty of do's and don'ts to take into account. I have been a boat builder for 25 years and here is some advice on steps you can take to make this expensive procedure turn out for the best, without too much stress and strain.
Firstly, wash the boat from top to bottom to remove any salt residue, remove the mast and rigging and store these away. You may want to consider painting the mast at this time if required. Then lift the boat and place into the paint shed and set up the scaffolding at an easy height to work from.
Go over the boat and decide if there is any gear that you don't want to put back on after the repaint, or any changes that you want to make. Do these before any paint is applied so that they can be faired in and made to look like they were always meant to be there.
Cover the top of the boat from toe-rail to toe-rail with draping film so that you cover the entire deck area, this will stop all the dust from getting on the deck and into the interior of the boat. The clean up at the end will be a big enough job as it is. It is now time to mask up all the remaining fittings that you are not removing. It is hard to get tape to stick, once you get a layer of dust over things, without doing a major clean. The tape also gives some protection when you sand up close to the fitting.
Now it is time for the first sand, if you have access to orbital sanders you can do this part, make sure you use a good respirator as the dust from this is not good for the lungs. It will need a good, hard sand with about 80 grit paper. If this grit seems to take a long time to sand with, or clogs up very quickly, try a coarser grade, say 60, or you may need to solvent wash the area to remove any wax or polish that may still be there. You need to sand the entire surface until it is a matt finish with no shine showing, take particular care to get right into all the corners and up to any fittings etc. If you don't, then this is where the new paint won't stick well enough. Be sure to get the painter to check it before applying the undercoat.
The boat should be dusted down and washed with a de-greasing agent or wax remover just prior to painting to make sure that any contamination from other chemicals or oils etc. is removed. You can go around the boat and spot fill any areas that need repairing at this point, or get the first undercoat on, and while it is still fresh, go around and fill all the holes and imperfections you can see. I prefer to do the filling after the undercoat as it is easier to see all the areas requiring attention.
Now ask the painter to spray or wipe on a "guide coat". This is thinners, or solvent, with a dark tint in it. Once this is done your boat will look like the local gang has just attacked it with graffiti, but that's okay because you get to sand it all off! We need to move to a finer grade of paper at this point, I suggest around the 180 grade, and make sure it is "dri-lube" sheet paper. On the hull sides we use paddle boards that take a whole sheet of dri-lube. Paddle boards are roughly 300mmx200mm, made out of plywood, with a thin sponge foam on the face and a handle on the back, to which you staple a whole sheet of dri-lube paper. Once you have sanded the guide coat off, so that all you can see is undercoat, then it is time to dust and clean ready for the next undercoat. Again, get the painter to check your sanding before he puts the next undercoat on. All going well this will be the final undercoat.
Once this next undercoat is on, again, check to see if any filling is required and do it if it is. Then another guide coat is needed and away you go with the sanding, this time with around the 280 to 320 grade dri-lube. Once you have finished and the painter is happy, it's time for the top coat to be applied.
Once the top coat is applied, the next step is to mark out any boot top and stripes, for best results get someone to do this with a laser level. Apply the sign-writing, if it is within any of the stripes. Then back mask the boot top and stripes (back mask means mask all the newly painted topsides leaving only the stripe/boot top to be painted exposed) and sand with 280 to 320 grade paper, removing all the shine, then have the painter spray on the chosen colour. Warning: Don't mask over fresh paint with plastic or draping film as it holds the solvents in, softens the paint, and sticks the film to the new paint. Use plain brown paper.
When all this is hard you can now proceed to unmask the boat. When pulling the final tapes off, pull them back on themselves so as not to be pulling the new paint off the job. Uncover all the deck as well then stand back and admire the new look!

Sailing Basics
Sailing Basics
Sailing Is Not A Complicated Sport
By Michael Sanford
It seems obvious how a sailboat sails downwind: It is pushed
along by the wind in its sails. Less obvious is how it can sail
upwind or how some sailboats can sail faster than the wind.
Sir Isaac Newton formulated three basic laws that pertain to
the motions and accelerations of all objects.
Let us have a look at the third law:
For any force exerted on an object, an equal but opposite force
must be exerted by that object onto whatever exerted the force.
A direct consequence of this law is the conservation of
momentum (Momentum equals mass times velocity). The conservation
of momentum tells us that if the velocity of one thing is
somehow changed (in either magnitude or direction) that the
velocity of something else must also change accordingly.
Moreover, a large change in velocity of a light object can be
balanced by a small change in velocity of a massive object. This
is, of course, how a sailboat sails. Because of its large sail
area, a sailboat can change the velocity of a huge amount of air
in a small amount of direction or speed.
The change of velocity that the sailboat imparts to the air
hitting her sails is mainly a change in the direction in which
the air is moving. So a sailboat can experience a large driving
force even when she is sailing against the wind.
In the real world, there are two forces. One is the wind
pushing on the sail when it is changing direction. The air
traveling over the leeward surface of the cambered sail creates
the second force. It has to travel a longer way to reach the end
of the sail (the leech), and as a consequence goes faster. This
is causing a pressure differential in accordance with
Bernoulli’s principle. (More speed gives less pressure and less
speed gives more pressure).
So a sailboat can sail upwind with the addition of these two
forces. But remember that the force created by the depression is
four times bigger that the one created by pushing the air
sideways.
A fluid flow exerts a force upon an object in a direction
perpendicular to the uninterrupted flow of that fluid. As a
result, a lift is generated. But there is also creation of a
drag that is a force acting in the direction of the
fluid.Because lift and drag are defined as being perpendicular
to one another, any force acting on a sail can, using
trigonometry, be divided into a lift component and a drag
component. By separating the force into these two components, we
can study the relationships between lift, drag, the shape of the
sail, and the angle between the sail and the airflow( AOA or
Angle Of Attack with the Greek letter).
Sailing is not a complicated sport. Anyone can do it and enjoy
it.
Spend time on the water
You just need to take a little time on the water. Trying and
collecting experience is one of the best way to learn. I am sure
you will have a great time on the water.
You can start just by yourself.
Plenty of sailors started buying, renting, borrowing or
otherwise obtaining a boat for their first sail without any
knowledge.
Let me say that you have to take care because it could be
hazardous to your health.
Get the Right Boat
For a child, learning to sail in a dinghy seems natural. For an
adult, it is not so simple. You react less by instinct and fear
to go on this unstable machine could surface. For this reason,
many people opt for a larger, seemingly more forgiving big boat
to learn on.
It is another way, but they miss out on a pure form of sailing
not experienced in larger boats. Is it Dangerous?
Which danger could threaten you on a small sailing boat? You
could tip over. It is called “Capsize”. Capsizing and learning
to right your boat again are all part of the learning process
and could be fun.
With the fear of capsize behind you, you will be able to
concentrate wholly on sailing maneuvers instead of constantly
worrying about getting wet.
Don't wait and Jump
Remember, you told everyone that you would like to become a
sailor and go across oceans…
Well, it's time to make good on that.
At first, gauge how you feel about the water.
During your last summer vacation, did you jump right in the
water or did you cautiously wade in? Okay, I agree it could
depend of the weather and the temperature of the water.
But if you're a jumper, you can stop reading here. Just take a
day off from the office, buy or rent a boat, or ask an old
friend sailor to come with you, and get out of here!
If you're still with me, then you're a wader. Don’t worry. I am
not a jumper too, and I sailed during the last 40 years having
fun. It is difficult for me to take the decision to go, but if I
fall, by accident,in the (cold) water, it is not such a big
problem for me. The more I think about, the less I go…
Have no fear. Nobody is going to splash you. Let's start with
dipping our toes into the water. The way to do that with sailing
is to go out and buy a few books about the sport. Stay away from
anything boring, technical, or overly historical. You need an
easy book, with a lot of drawings, and nice to read.
Lobbying, Lobbying
Now let's go to a more serious work. Figure out a way to catch
an invitation onto a sailboat. The important thing is to get
sailing. You can pay to go on a sailing boat with skipper, or
twist a friend’s arm to be invited aboard his next sail. I don’t
care the method. You need to go on the water. As a good info, it
is very rare to be sick on small boats. You are outside, in the
wind, all thing concurring to have you feeling well.
Just take care not to do a race with a crazy guy who will cure
you of sailing. You have to start with a mellow sailing day.
Take a Course
It's time to move on to the second step. Find an adult sailing
course and sign up for it. Personally, I would recommend taking
your first lessons in a small sailing boat, a dinghy. For
sailing courses they are designed for beginners. They will give
you an immediate response to any shifts in the variables that
affect sailing (weight, wind, waves, and weather).
If your wife (or your husband, boyfriend or girlfriend) wants
to learn sailing too, take separate classes. It's difficult
enough to learn a new sport without having your partner watching
over your shoulder at every step of the way.
It will be time later to sail (and should the occasion arise,
to fight) all together, as an old couple, on the same boat.

Sailing Away
Sailing Away
Sailing Away On A Honeymoon Is Romantic
By Ray J. Walberg
The distance that a cruise can put you from your life and most
reality is what makes the cruises so special. You will find that
it can be very romantic for you and your loved one to experience
a cruise. Can you see yourself sailing at full speed with the
wind in your hair and the stars above while in the arms of your
lover? It’s a beautiful moment and you’ll find that it’s a
perfect vacation for you to be able to find the romance once
again. If you want to have a vacation filled with romance, you
may want to think about a cruise. A cruise is your best option
when it comes to reviving the romance.
There are others who would like to go on a romantic cruise.
These other couples may end up making the atmosphere even
better. You may want to ask some of your friends to go with you
so that you can have the best time of your life. You can have
romantic times with your lover and then you can do some friend
things with your best bud. You will find that asking another
couple to go with you, you’ll have a great time and you’ll feel
a lot more comfortable.
However, most of the time the couples that take a cruise are on
their honeymoon. For the honeymoon you will want to shop around
for a cruise line. Many of the cruise lines have discounts for
newlyweds and you’ll find a lot of attractive rates and
privileges. Some of the privileges that you may have is going to
a certain location or having a dinner at a restaurant. You will
find some kind of special treatment and it’s good idea to see
what they will offer you by shopping around. You will also want
to contact the cruise line if you would like to make some
special arrangements. You will notice that no favor goes
unnoticed and there is a price for everything, including flower
in the room.
You should know that many newlyweds will go with the Carnival
cruise line. Well most couples end up on Carnival. It is a
cruise that will create a fairy tale background and get the
romance in full bloom. You will fall in love all over again when
you take a carnival cruise line. You can have things like
balloons and flags in your room. You may need to pay for such
décor, but you will get a free wedding care at the first dinner
on aboard. You will want to purchase a honeymoon package. This
package includes champagne, T-shirt, cameras, and other things
that the cruise thing thinks that honeymooners will enjoy.
If you don’t want to go with Carnival, you can always look up
the Princess Cruises that are offered. Cabin decorations are
free to honeymooners and they will also give you a wedding cake.
This line offers two packages; the Honeymoon Experience and
Princess Honeymoon packages. With the less expensive package,
you will be given champagne, engraved glasses, chocolate dipped
strawberries, and long stemmed roses (all totaling less than
$150. The other package (the Princess package) will give you
all of that and more. You will get massages, robes, breakfast in
bed, room service, and more. You will diffinately feel pampered
with either package.

However, most of the time the couples that take a cruise are on
their honeymoon. For the honeymoon you will want to shop around
for a cruise line. Many of the cruise lines have discounts for
newlyweds and you’ll find a lot of attractive rates and
privileges. Some of the privileges that you may have is going to
