TQL: Flag Disposal

Today I learnt that disposing of a Singapore flag is permitted, but it has to be concealed and not prominently visible in the rubbish bin etc. So for instance, it has to be sealed properly in a black trash bag. This makes sense too, as it looks quite disrespectful to see a national flag sticking out of a rubbish bin.


That's all for today.

BBBS Keelboat Regatta Training Session 1 (22 Aug 2020) (SB20)

Item 1: Rigging Observation: Rigging boat was slow. Reflection: Unfamiliar with the procedures and the specific parts of the keelboat.  Sub Points: new parts of the boat for me: outstay (line at the back to control curve of mast for depowering the top of the sail) Head of mainsail connected to main halyard via shackle.  Item 2: Main Sail Control Sub points: - Learnt traveller tuning to keep boom centred. (traveller used as fine tuning after sheeting in on the main sheet)  - Keeping top leech telltale streaming out straight (unable to do that even after loosening outstay and sheeting out. Next thing to try: tuning the vang)  - Main sheet, outstay and traveller controlled by the same guy usually. Need to get accustomed to the ergonomics and movement within the cockpit. Sometimes might need to manage spinnaker also. Item 3: Spinnaker Observation:  I am very unfamiliar with the spinnaker as I have never used one before. I am also unfamiliar with the SB20...

BBBS 10 Sailing Cycle 1 Session 3 Reflections (Byte)

Conditions: Gusty storm winds, but approx 7-8 knots.  Wind shifts sometimes, so need to ascertain new direction accurately. Still a little unsure about whether I am reading the wind correctly. Maybe might put a wind indicating device that is within the field of view of the camera and review footage afterwards to assess quality of sail trim. Sailed in my first storm today.  Hiking out a lot more today. But the problem encountered was that sometimes right when I hiked out, the boat "un-heeled", and continued rolling the other way. So I'll have to immediately sit up and in. Two possible reasons: maybe I hiked out too much, or when I hiked out, I unknowingly/accidentally slightly pointed the boat, which reduced the side force pressure and resulted in the rolling back towards me, past the neutral point. Need to find a way to solve the twitchy controlling and keep the rudder centered even as I move around the cockpit. Going downwind presented another challenge.  Boat felt diffi...

The "Today QiYun Learnt" Digest: Introduction

The "Today QiYun Learnt" Digest  An Introduction I am starting this miniature Digest to collect the miscellaneous bits and pieces of information which my curiosity has bade me to investigate. I shall start recording these pieces of information from the point of time of writing this post. For some posts that cover a similar topic, I will group them together in " Series ". Important Disclaimer:  Since I am starting this digest as a side hobby/project to consolidate and record down the pieces of information that I have found out, they will necessarily not be overly detailed, nor will I be as meticulous as I normally would be, in investigating the sources of the information. I will, of course, try to ensure that the information that I reflect here, be reliable. But as I am merely writing a small informal Digest or blog, and not a research paper, I will be less meticulous in selecting and citing my sources, and the scope and depth of my research will necessarily be limit...
