Chapter III: Part 3

Every young yachtsman should learn to make the simple knots and splices. Nothing looks worse than to see on a boat a lot of rigging that is knotted or fastened together in a lubberly fashion. There is no need of learning the fancy knots, unless you want to, but you should know how to make the following knots, etc.:

Square or reef knot,
Figure eight,
Overhand,
Fisherman’s bend,
Carrick bend,
Clove hitch,
Half and whole hitch,
Bowline,
Bowline-on-a-bight,
Sheet-bend,
Rolling hitch,
Wall and crown,
Sheep-shank,
Short splice,
Sailmaker’s splice,
Cut splice,
Eye splice,
Whipping, common,
Whipping, Spanish,
Serving,
Mousing,
Plain, stitching,
Herringboning.

WASHING DOWN:

A boat’s deck and cockpit should be thoroughly washed at least once a day. Nothing looks worse than a dirty deck. Wooden decks should be washed before the heat of the day gets on them: Canvas decks can be scrubbed at any time. If on salt water, always take advantage of a rain and give your decks a good hard scrubbing to get the salt off. If you have a crew, teach them to wash down the first thing every morning, and see that they do it

KEEPING CLEAN BELOW:

The first lesson to learn on a yacht, and the first to teach your crew, is that there is a place for everything, and that everything must be kept in its place. If they take anything out to use make them put it back at once in its place just as soon as they are done with it. Make every man keep his berth tidy, his clothes put away, and his bedding properly aired and folded. Teach them not to throw cigarette butts, tobacco and match sticks on the floor, and to spit overboard and not on the deck or in the cockpit. Don’t leave dirty dishes about. Keep your cabin just as tidy as you do your deck.

TOOL BOX:

Every yacht should carry a simple kit of tools with them. You can always make temporary repairs, and sometimes save yourself expense, worry and toil. Have a box for them where they can be easily got at. You don’t want fine tools, as they will soon be ruined by the dampness. The following is a list of what is necessary for a cruising boat:

Hatchet,
Monkey wrench,
Small saw,
Cold chisel,
Brace and bits,
Screw driver,
Marline spike,
Small vice,
Wire nippers,
Grommet set,
Sail needle,
Sail hook,
Twine,
Wax,
Fid,
Piece of sheet copper,
Piece of sheet lead,
Piece of sheet rubber,
Copper tacks,
Screws,
Nails,
Some galv. iron rod,
Wire,
Screw eyes.

BOS’N STORES:

Don’t have more than two or three sizes of rope in your rig, if you can help it, and carry a spare coil of a few fathoms of each. Also, have spare fittings, so if anything carries away you can replace it. Here is a short list:

Blocks,
Shackles,
Pins for same,
Cleats,
Rope,
Marline,
Hambroline,
Canvas,
Lacing,
Paint,
Varnish.

PUMP:

Every yacht, no matter of what size, should have a good pump fitted to draw from the lowest part of the bilge. If a full-decked cabin boat, have the pump put in through the deck, and not through the cockpit floor. Builders like to put it in the latter place, as the work is easier. In consequence of its being there the dirty water is pumped into the pit and makes it wet and nasty. In an open centerboard boat put the pump at the after end of the trunk and pump into it. Keep the pump well clean. If you do not use the pump daily, to keep the leather on the sucker in good condition wrap it about with an oiled rag. A small portable pump is very useful to completely dry out the bilges.

PUMPING:

If the boat has a leak, make it a practice to try the pump every morning before washing down. Keep the water out of her, so that when she heels down it won’t run up into the lockers and wet things. A good knockdown will distribute a few buckets of bilge water around a cabin in a way to make things damp for weeks to come.

BALLAST:

If you use inside ballast of any kind do not lump it in heaps along the keel; spread it out as much as possible over the bottom. It should be spaced in the middle half of the boat, leaving the ends empty. No rule can be laid down for placing weight in a boat; you must experiment and find out how much and where to put it. Remember, that too much ballast is as bad as too little.

BALLAST, KINDS OF:

Inside ballast is either lead, iron or stone. There is no question but what stone is the best ballast, so far as the effect is concerned, and lead the worst. Lead has the advantage of being always worth its money, second-hand lead bringing nearly the same price as new. Old iron is of little or no value. Lead stows snugly and is clean. Iron is very dirty, and the rust from it is a nuisance. The disadvantage of stone is that you cannot secure it. Inside ballast should be secured so as not to shift in case the vessel gets on her side. Heavy ballast should rest on the frame and not on the plank.

BILGES:

The cause of many yachts smelling below is dirty bilges. They are never properly cleaned from one season to the other. Before putting the yacht in commission the bilges should be thoroughly searched, cleaned and washed out, all the limbers poked open so as to allow the water to flow to the pump well. If the boat does not leak enough to keep her bilges sweet, water should be poured in at least once a week and pumped out again. Don’t sweep dirt or other rubbish into the bilge; it is liable to get into the pump and choke it.

GASOLENE PIPES:

To make the joints of pipes carrying gasolene or kerosene tight use common yellow soap. These pipes if used to carry either of these fluids to a stove should be frequently examined, so as to prevent leakage. If gasolene leaks into the bilge, flood it with water and pump out before making any light below decks.

LEAD LINE:

Keep your lead line where it can be instantly laid hands upon. For a small boat a five-fathom line is long enough, with an extra five that can be bent on in case of need. A three-pound lead is plenty heavy enough.

KNIFE:

Always keep about your person a sharp knife, so that you can get hold of it without delay. Many a man has lost his life for want of a knife. It is best when cruising to carry a sheath knife, as they are handiest.

OARS:

Always carry a large oar on deck and a pair of spare ones for the dingey stowed below. It is also well to have at least two pair of spare oarlocks on board.

LASHINGS AND STOPS:

Take some 6, 9 and 12-thread manila rope and cut it into 3, 5 and 8-foot lengths. Put an eye-splice in one end of each length and whip the other end. These short pieces are always of the greatest use, and will save much time and trouble. They can be employed for many purposes, and are especially handy for gasketing sails.

STANDING-BY:

It is the duty, and should be the pleasure, of every yachtsman to stand-by another yacht when in distress, or in need of any sort of help. It is always best if you see a boat in a predicament to stand-down to her and offer your services, even if they are not needed; it will generally be appreciated as an act of courtesy and good will. And all yachtsmen should receive such offers in the spirit in which they are advanced, and not as some do, if they do not need assistance, give a jeering or discourteous reply. I have been fairly insulted several times by skippers because I have offered my aid to get them out of a predicament, my advances being considered to be a reflection on their skill and ability. Power-boat skippers can do much to make yachting pleasant, by offering a tow to becalmed sail-craft men. The little attentions do much to establish a feeling of perfect comradeship that is so essential to the making of a sport.

THE RUDDER

The policy of THE RUDDER is to give to yachtsmen a thoroughly practical periodical, dealing with the sport of yachting in all its phases, and especially to furnish them with the designs and plans of vessels adapted to their wants in all localities.

In each issue is a design of a sailing or power craft, and at
least four times a year a complete set of working drawings is
given, so that the unskilled can try a hand at building with a
certainty of making a success of the attempt.

In the last two years over 500 boats have been built from
designs printed in the magazine, and in almost every case have
given satisfaction.

Outside of the strictly practical, the magazine has always a
cargo of readable things in the way of cruises and tales, while
its illustrations are noted for their novelty and beauty.

The editor desires to increase the size of the magazine and to
add to its features. In order to do this it is necessary that
it be given the hearty support of all who are interested in the
sport. The cost of a subscription, $2 a year rolled or $2.50
mailed flat, is as low as it is possible to make it and furnish
a first-class publication, and he asks yachtsmen to subscribe,
as in that way they can materially assist him in keeping the
magazine up to its present standard of excellence.
