High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A sail-plan is a set of drawings, usually prepared by a naval architect. It shows the various combinations of sail proposed for a sailing ship. The combinations shown in a sail-plan almost always include three configurations: A light air sail plan. Over most of the Earth, most of the time, the wind force is Force 1 or less. Thus a sail plan should include a set of huge, lightweight sails that will keep the ship underway in light breezes. A working sail plan. This is the set of sails that are changed rapidly in variable conditions. They are much stronger than the light air sails, but still lightweight. An economical sail in this set will include several sets of reefing ties, so the area of the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sails have been made from cloth for all of recorded history. Typically sails were made from flax, hemp or cotton in various forms including canvas. However, modern sails are rarely made from natural fibers. Most sails are made from synthetic fibers ranging from low-cost nylon or polyester to expensive aramids or carbon fibers. Recent strides in technology now offer many options for the sailmaker. Doek is Dutch for cloth, which was evolved into the English word “duck” in reference to sail canvas. Duck was typically made from cotton or linen, with some use of hemp. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sailing ship is now used to refer to any large wind-powered vessel. In technical terms, a ship was a sailing vessel with a specific rig of at least three masts, square rigged on all of them, making the sailing adjective redundant. In popular usage "ship" became associated with all large sailing vessels and when steam power came along the adjective became necessary. Large sailing vessels which are not ship rigged may be more appropriately called boats. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ballast is used in sailboats to provide moment to resist the lateral forces on the sail. Insufficiently ballasted boats will tend to tip, or heel, excessively in high winds. Too much heel may result in the boat capsizing. When sailing vessels carried cargo, it was at times necessary to sail to a port with no cargo. In order to do this enough ballast of little or no value would be loaded to keep the vessel upright. This ballast would then be discarded when the cargo was loaded. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A sailing hydrofoil, hydrofoil sailboat, or hydrosail is a sailboat with wing-like foils mounted under the hull. As the craft increases its speed the hydrofoils lift the hull up and out of the water, greatly reducing wetted area, resulting in decreased drag and increased speed. A sailing hydrofoil can achieve speeds exceeding two times the wind speed. Both monohull and multihull sailboats can be retrofitted with hydrofoils, although greater stability can be achieved by using the wider planform of a catamaran or trimaran.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Devices that are powered by sails (such as sailboats, iceboats and sand yachts) can sail (that is, advance over the surface) faster than the wind. Of course they cannot do that when sailing dead downwind using simple square sails that are set perpendicular to the wind. But they can do that by setting sails at an angle to the wind and by using the lateral resistance of the surface on which they sail (for example the water or the ice) to maintain a course at some other angle to the wind.The Extreme 40 catamaran can sail at 35 knots in 20-25 knots of wind. The high-performance International C-Class Catamaran can sail at twice the speed of the wind. Iceboats can typically sail at 5 times the speed...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Thalatta was a Thames sailing barge, built in Harwich, Essex, in 1906. She was 90 feet long and 26 feet across the widest part of the deck. Like all Thames barges, she was flat-bottomed and had leeboards instead of a keel. She spent some of her life ketch-rigged and some of it spritsail-rigged. When she was spritsail rigged, she had a mainmast and topmast that, together, were about 90 feet high, and a mizzen mast. The Thalatta had two periods with an auxiliary engine and two without. She carried cargo for sixty years and was then converted for use as a sail training ship in 1966. She is currently being rebuilt at St Osyth with assistance from lottery funds. Данное издание не...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Saint-Cloud porcelain was a type of soft-paste porcelain produced in the French town of Saint-Cloud from the late 17th to the mid 18th century.In 1702, Philippe II, Duke of Orleans gave letters-patent to the family of Pierre Chicaneau, who were said to have been making porcelain as "perfect as the Chinese" since 1693. Chicaneau's factory was a pioneer in the maufacture of porcelain in Europe, where there had been many attempts to copy Chinese porcelain. Saint-Cloud developed a frit ("a mixture of a flux, sand and chalk") which was close, although not similar, to Asian porcelain. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Saipan class aircraft carriers were a class of two light carriers (Saipan (CVL-48) and Wright (CVL-49)) built for the United States Navy during World War II. Like the nine Independence- class light carriers, they were based on cruiser hulls. However, they differed from the earlier light carriers in that they were built from the keel up as carriers, and were based on heavy rather than light cruiser hulls. Completed too late for the war, they served as carriers until the mid-1950s, then were converted into a command ship and a major communications relay ship in the late 1950s, and in those roles served until 1970. They were both scrapped in 1980. Данное издание не...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Saipa 141 is a car made by SAIPA using the platform of the Kia Pride Car. After 10 years of manufacturing Saba and Nasim (Iranian models of Kia Pride), SAIPA developed the liftback car Saipa 141 with new rear and interior design. Saipa 141 is sold in Venezuela under name "Turpial". Saipa (an acronym for Societe Annonyme Iranienne de Production Automobile) was established in 1966, assembled the two-cylinder Citroen mini passenger car, the Dyane, and manufactured licensed versions of the original Renault 5, Renault 21 and Kia Pride. Production of the Saipa Pride continued until 2005 when then they introduced an updated model based on the Pride called the Saipa 141 while continuing to sell their...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Saipem 7000 is the world's second largest crane vessel, after the Thialf. The crane radius of the Saipem 7000 grants a lifting capability of 14,000 tonnes at 42 meters while the Thialf can lift 14,200 tonnes at 31.2 meters. It is owned by the oil and gas industry contractor Saipem S.p.A. The Saipem 7000, originally named the Micoperi 7000, was conceived in the mid 1980s by its original owners Micoperi as a multipurpose offshore oil platform installation vessel that would be able to install very large oil production platform decks (known as integrated decks) as well as the decks' supporting structures (known as jackets) using its two very large fully revolving cranes.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sales process engineering has been described as “the systematic application of scientific and mathematical principles to achieve the practical goals of a particular sales process". Selden pointed out that in this context, sales referred to the output of a process involving a variety of functions across an organization, and not that of a “sales department” alone. Primary areas of application span functions including sales, marketing, and customer service. Variations of this brief description are possible, but described as such, the discipline is consistent with other published definitions of engineering and its many well-established branches, but relatively new in its focus.
