Fill a plastic wading pool with water, and set the sailboat inside. Allow students to watch their sailboats float along the surface of the water. Conduct a contest between students by allowing them to blow into the sails and move the boat to the other side of the wading pool. Allow studen...
A clue that you might be prone to seasickness is that you become nauseated in a car or airplane or sailboat. If you're concerned that seasickness might be a problem for you, check out your itinerary, looking closely at geographic factors that could influence the motion of the ocean. (...
Many of these are docked boats, but a lot of them sink at sea -- from ferries and freighters to sailboats and yachts. Would you know what to do if your yacht, sailboat or cruise ship went down? Does it mean certain death? You'll be relieved to find out that you can survive a ...
Another important aspect that impacts the average watercraft speed is the wind flow and its direction. If you wish to sail across the ocean on a sailboat, you must consider these things. When cruising, it is necessary for boaters to encounter a beneficial current as well as the flow of dow...

Why don't we have a way to model gravity? How do the mainsail and the jib of a sailboat help the boat sail? What do these two sails have to do with force? Explain how physics work in High jumping. Explain the coefficient of volu...
a cargo sailboat (shown at right) inspired by traditional Marshallese vessels, which made its maiden voyage in 2024 and can carry 300 metric tons of cargo. The Marshall Islands Shipping Corporation hopes it offers a blueprint for cleaner cargo transportation across the Pacific; relative to a fue...
Purchased a small sailboat. There is credibility to the saying, “The happiest days as a boat owner are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.” Accumulating more things than I need (having too much stuff is a burden).
Most modern sailboats are also equipped with a motor for moving the boat when there is no wind or when the boat is in shallower waters close to shore. Because they come in all different sizes and offer various features, the price range of a sailboat is quite large. But even on the ...
Efforts include training local youths to build traditional Marshallese canoes (to replace small, motor-powered speedboats) and larger sailboats fitted with solar panels (to replace medium-size cargo ships). He was also an advisor on construction of the Juren Ae, a cargo sailboat (shown at ...
