MAST Ships visit Klintholm Havn
2012-06-15
MAST Ships Brabander and Sarpen visit Klinholm Havn to give their participants an impression of the Island Møn. Although without any program the harbour is boring. Brabander exercised their survival training.

Floorheating System
2012-06-12
Today continued on installing the maze of pipes to put heating into the rooms.
Wood chip plates to support the floor piping and the laminate on top. But first the Styrofoam has to be installed.

Røret under Sail.
2012-06-11
Røret underway from Hårbølle to Klintholmhavn.
This afternoon it was beautiful weather which we used to sail Røret from Hårbølle to Klintholmhavn. With a very smooth wind we prepared to try some cloth on the rigging of this lovely old postboat.
Some older red canvasses were loaded in the car and we took of. Before the outer buoy we set our Jib. A high aspect piece of canvas which was some 40cm to long. What to do? We used the second eyelet on the luf and dangled the top 40 cm down from the halyard. After enjoying this sail and making way with 1.4 knots we took an other sail and hanged it from the yardarm. It although it was a StaySail it became a flying sail.
In contrast to our expectation we did not drift. On our way their is a Cardinal buoy which we chose to have on our port side, it being a south cardinal.Every 30 seconds Stefan or me looked to check if we were not ended up on its north side. On the engine we had to give a little starboard ruther but now under sail with two pieces of canvas we were almost sailing against drift and current even more south and we hoped for.
Slightly disappointed in our speed we decided to set a direct course to Klintholm Harbour directly after taking down the sails. The fixed yardarm is a crime to work with and takes a lot of concentration of the man steering and the man taking down the sails. in fact when sailing you make a good choice on being 3 to operate the ship. Not the jib but the mainsail will be quite a handful.

Repairing Sails.
2012-06-01
After some strong winds we are almost reserving time for repairing sails. Genoa's are the most common with tears in the vicinity of the leech(achterlijk). Specially when the uv-protection is worn, tears in the Dacron will arise in heavy weather. Flapping of the sail under clearing away will start tears on the leech where it has had contact with spreaders and stays.
We almost always provide repairs overnight or even on the same day.

With Mortimer as supervisor all sails are repaired perfectly.

Bootje erbij
2012-04-25
ff op z'n Nederlands: Het vliegt door de lucht en komt zachtjes neer in de tuin van StaySail:
De eenbootjeerbij.
Not black and yellow like a cardinal buoy, but Danish "stolen" paint grey and with an old red anti fouling a new ship has arrived in Svensmarke. Originally built in 1905 in Damsholte Beth has returned to Møn. Where she will be restored in full operating service. We do not know how yet, and how fast is a question we do not discuss.
It is an about 8.5m long Drivkvase built in 1905 in Damsholte.
She now has the terrible name of "Beth". As a working name she is called
Butch, because she has such a nice slim figure.
If all the rig is on the boat with stern and bowsprit she will be about 10m longer.
They were built for shallow water fishing on eel hence they are called ålekvase.
Use:
They were sailed against the wind (cross-tack) on the shoal with ålegras (eel
grass) and the kvase would float broadside to the wind over this grass with
the nets attached to the bowsprit and sternsprit.
The kvas has a high stability, but a low free board to get the nets(filled with grass, stones and hopefully fish) inboard at the end of fishing.
The boats used to be tar black/brown, but since the sixties when a large amount of grey paint was
stolen from the shipyard in Helsingør, kvaser in the northern Sound area turned Gray. Coincidence?
