About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ...perpendicular the height of the mast, less the 2 feet, as above. At this height, and parallel with the base line, lay off a line the length of the topsail yard, and mark it 2 feet in towards the perpendicular, or wherever you wish the head earing to reach to, and join this to clue at main yardarm. Then at 3 feet above the cap, measure if the length of the topsail yard will spread the sail--if it will, proceed as in the mainsail, finding the leach gore in the same way, and likewise the foot roach. If the topsail yard will not spread the sail, as in the present case, the leach of the sail must have an irregular gore--namely, long gores at the head, and shorter ones at the foot of the sail, the lengths of which must be found from the plan, as no rule can be laid down, always bearing in mind that the whole of the gores must not exceed the length of the leach. To illustrate this, suppose A B, 35 feet; uc, 24 feet G inches; Ad, 16 feet 6 inches; Ae, 18 feet 6 inches; G H, 18 feet 6 inches. Now, a line from c through H would fall on F, making the head of the sail much too narrow, and a line from c to D would far far exceed the yardarm at H, the place of the close reef; the dotted line, therefore, D H c, is the roaching leach required. Depth of leach, 36 feet; roach, 3 feet 9 inches = 45 in. in. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9--45 inches. To Cut the Cloths of this Sail.--B'ind the number of cloths in the head. From A to D is 16 feet 6 inches-f23 inches, is 8 cloths and 14 inches of another cloth; add 3 inches for tabling, and you have 8 cloths 17 inches in the half of the head, or 17 cloths nearly in the whole sail. Measure the leach gores from plan, and calculate the foot roach as for the mainsail. Measure and cut as directed for the mainsail until you get to...
