"Jumping the halyard" is a technique used to raise a large sail quickly by employing a few crew members to work simultaneously on the halyard. The person jumping stands next to the mast and manually grabs the halyard as high as he can (sometimes this necessitates jumping) and pulling it down as fast and far as possible. While this crew member reaches for the next heave, a second crew member 'tails' or takes up the slack created by the jumper, on a winch. When the person jumping can no longer pull up the sail simply by hanging on the halyard, he must "sweat" the line.

There is probably already a standing tack line in place, so the halyard is hauled until the tack line is taut, although there is no need to tighten up the leech severely to avoid scallops as in trimming the triangular sails. After hauling and securing the halyard, the fore and aft position of the leech is set by hauling the yard hauling parrel until the halyard is close to the mast.

A spinnaker chute is usually a tube or aperture in the deck close to the forestay, for the launching and recovery of the spinnaker. They are most commonly found on modern dinghy designs, and updated older classes.

A small wooden wedge is knocked into the last hole, to prevent the lanyard sliding back, and the end is unhooked from the purchase and made up on the shroud above the upper deadeye.
The yard is held to the mast either by a parrel or by a traveller (consisting of a metal ring that goes round the mast and has an eye for the halyard and a hook which fastens to a strop on the yard). A dipping lug sail is fastened at the tack (front lower corner) some distance in front of the mast. A standing lug's tack is fastened near the foot of the mast. The halyard for a dipping lug is usually made fast to the weather gunwale, thereby allowing the mast to be unstayed.
The mast is hollow, partly to reduce weight (up to 4.5% of a keelboat's displacement), and partly so that the halyard can run inside the mast, and therefore manufactured in two halves. At the top is a metal bracket with pulley for the halyard which then runs inside the mast and comes out below deck, where a pulley is located under the mast root. The mast foot is tapered so the mast stands firmly in the lower tapered ball bearing. Level with the deck is the mast "bottleneck" where the upper ball bearing rests.

The clips come in two basic types: 'standard' with the halyard attached directly to the clip, and 'swivel' which incorporates a rotational connector so that the halyard can rotate without affecting the flag. In the Royal Navy a flag or ensign normally has both types of clip, one at each end of the heading. Some flags have the top clip sewn directly onto the heading rather than a rope running through it. This allows these flags to be flown 'tight-up' against the top of the mast, gaff or yard arm.

Common items include clothesline and a chalk line. In some marine uses the term rope is retained, such as man rope, bolt rope, and bell rope.
179Mearns, The Search for the Sydney, p. 28 Sydney signalled "Make your signal letters clear", which the signals officer aboard Kormoran did by lengthening the halyard and swinging it around to starboard. By 16:35, with Sydney away, the malfunctioning engine aboard Kormoran was repaired, but Detmers chose to keep it in reserve.Winter, H.M.A.S. Sydney, p.
The boat makes extensive use of teak above decks and mahogany below. The cockpit, the decks and the cabin trunk roof are all made from teak. Ventilation is provided by three pairs of dorade vents, two hatches and six opening bronze ports. Sheet and halyard winches are located on the cockpit coaming and on the mast.
The below deck headroom is and the cabin trim and sole are made from teak and holly. Ventilation is provided by six translucent opening hatches, two dorade vents and four deck cowl intakes. Additional light is provided by four deck-mounted prisms. For sailing the design is equipped with four halyard winches and two jib winches.
Video: Patí Català: Que, Qui, Com. there is a halyard to hoist the sail along the mast, and another rope whose actuation shapes an area of the foot of the sail known as "dovetail ", when pulled or released lightly, makes an appreciable variation to the flatness of the sail surface..Video: Patí Català Patí a Vela.
Improvised airfield in the village of Pranjani. On this site, in 2020 is started the construction of the Memorial Complex and the sport airfield to commemorate on this rescue operation. Pranjani Memorial (Halyard Foundation & Bus Plus Produkcija) In early-March 1944, 25 rescued pilots were brought to Pranjani. Captain Zvonimir Vučković of the First Ravna Gora Corps was responsible for their security.
The head of the spinnaker is attached the top of the sock and the ring runs down to the tack. The resulting bundle is stuffed into the spinnaker bag. The top of the sock will have provisions for attaching to the spinnaker halyard. The spinnaker is raised as normal, but with the sock in place the spinnaker is unable to catch the wind.
The topsail was on hoops, so the halyard was let go and the sail rucked (dropped) to the hounds. The mainsail was pulled tightly to the mast by brails. The vangs were slackened, the sheet released and the sail brailed up by the mate using the brailing winch. The mate let go the foresail halyards and it dropped to the deck.
The design includes a forward opening hatch and fix bronze opening portlights. The wood is all mahogany except the bowsprit, which is made from fir. The bowsprit protrudes , allows headsail reefing and can be retracted to shorten the boat length. Two halyard winches are fitted to the mast and four sheet winches are located in the cockpit for the jib and staysail.
Halyard High School converted to academy status on 1 September 2007 and became part of the Barnfield Federation. A £30m transformation of school buildings, part of Building Schools for the Future programme, was completed in early March 2011. The Academy is recognised as being "Good" by Ofsted In its inspection in 2014. In its previous it was rated as "Outstanding".
At the urging of airmen involved in Operation Halyard who had been saved by Mihailović's forces and had heard rumors of the award to him, Derwinski insisted that the State Department make the text of President Truman's citation public, confirming that Mihailović had not collaborated. Derwinski served as head of "Ethnic Americans for Dole/Kemp" during the 1996 presidential election.
There is an anchor well on the bow and an anchor rode locker. The mainsheet traveler is cockpit mounted, just forward of the helm position for easy access while sailing. There are halyard winches on the cabin roof and two genoa winches on the curved cockpit coaming. The genoa sheets route through a track that allows close sheeting of the sail.
A short pull on the luff hauling parrel may be needed to extend the middle battens toward the leech to control wrinkles in the sail. The last act is to haul the sheets and set the sail to the wind. Reefing a junk rigged sail is very easy. When sailing close to the wind, all that is needed is to ease the halyard.
The Ranger 23 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a 4:1 mainsheet, 2:1 outhaul, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. There are two jibsheet winches in the cockpit and a halyard winch located on the mast. The topping lift is internally mounted on the boom.
Fred Mazelis was a third-party candidate for Vice President of the United States in the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections, representing the Socialist Equality Party. He was the running mate of Helen Halyard and Jerome White respectively. He had also been the party's candidate for U.S. Senator from Michigan in 1984. In 1989, he ran for Mayor of New York.
The couple opened the savings and loan with a single ten-dollar bill. This bank allowed black people to apply for loans without facing racial discrimination. It was "virtually impossible for blacks to obtain a mortgage so they could purchase a home" at the time. To make the savings and loan a success, neither she nor Wilbur Halyard "drew a salary" for the first 10 years.
Some Ross 930s have been modified to increase their performance down wind, with a prod (sometimes articulating) and gennakers. A common trend is to also fit a mast head spinnaker halyard so mast head spinnakers and gennakers can be hoisted. In order to control these more powerful sails, heavier and deeper keels must also be fitted. This will also increase the boat's heavy weather upwind performance.
His younger brother, Pete Lalich, played four seasons in the NBL and one game in the BAA. Nick Lalich also served with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS; predecessor of CIA) during World War II, helping to rescue and evacuate approximately 550 downed Allied fliers during Operation Halyard, without losing a single life or plane. He later worked for the CIA in Greece from 1952 to 1957.
The transports were met by Captain Lalich. The aircraft were quickly loaded with 20 American airmen, one US citizen, two Yugoslavian (Chetnik) officers, four French, four Italian army personnel, and two remaining Halyard team members, Lalich and his radio operator, Arthur Jibilian. Lalich tried once more to persuade Mihailović to accompany them to Italy. Mihailović remained consistent in his intention to stay with his soldiers.
Once the spinnaker is raised and the guys are ready to set, the sock is raised, releasing the spinnaker. The sock remains bundled up at the head of the sail while the spinnaker is deployed. To retrieve the spinnaker, the sheet or the tack is released and the sock is pulled down, gathering the sail. The halyard is then dropped and the sail may be packed away.
This ended one night when their ship hit a reef and sank. Brock and Struan survived, and each began to build their respective companies. Brock lost an eye sometime prior to the book, when his vessel was hit by wind. He was pinned under a broken mastbeam and thrashed about the face by a loose halyard, whose metal-capped end gouged out his eye.
In October, 2009, the film was featured at the Zagreb Film Festival in Croatia as part of its Side Program in the category Film as Propaganda. U.S. Navy Specialist 1st Class Arthur "Jibby" Jibilian, who saw the movie in 1943 before going to German-occupied Yugoslavia where he met Draza Mihailovich as part of Operation Halyard, reviewed the film favorably on IMDb in 2010.
There is also a navigation station to starboard, with a seat that swings away over the starboard settee, when not in use. Ventilation is provided by two large windows, two dorade vents and two acrylic hatches. The bow includes a self-draining anchor locker. :For sailing there are two primary winches mounted to the cockpit coamings, plus two halyard winches forward on the cabin roof.
Sail controls include four halyard winches, two secondary and two primary jib winches and a one general purpose winch. The halyards and outhaul are mounted internally, as is the jiffy reefing system. There is a 4:1 mechanical advantage boom vang, as well as an adjustable backstay. The mainsheet traveller is mounted on the bridge deck and genoa tracks and lead blocks are provided.
Prior to entering the naval base, Wahoo donned topside embellishments to celebrate her victory. A straw broom was lashed to her periscope shears to indicate a clean sweep. From the signal halyard fluttered eight tiny Japanese flags, one for each Japanese ship believed to have been sunk by Wahoo to that point in the war. Wahoo commenced refit by a tender relief crew and the ship's crew.
The RS400 is designed for a wide crew weight range.Irish RS Association The interior layout is simple with the principle control lines being led to either side of the boat, so that either helm or crew can adjust the rig control settings.SailWorld.com The light weight mast and mast bend can be controlled using a deck level screw and adjustable spreaders. Rake and sideways bend are further variable via the jib halyard.
The safe working load (SWL) of the Hallen is between 10 and 80 tonnes. In a Hallen Universal derrick, which has no Hallen D-Frame, the halyard has an extended length since it runs through further blocks on the centerline. The Universal Hallen derrick, replacing the D-frame option, is a kind of traditional topping lift. The Hallen D-Frame is a steel bracket welded on the mast in the centerline.
The Velle derrick is quite similar to the Hallen but without use of outriggers. On top of the boom is a T-shaped yoke assembled. Also here, the guys serve for topping and lowering the boom but they are fastened on the yoke with four short, steel-wire hanger-ropes. The ends of the topping and lowering ends of the halyard are secured to half-barrels on one winch.
Ventilation is provided by nine bronze ports that open, plus two hatches, one over the main cabin and the other in the bow. The cockpit has two main winches, plus a halyard winch and additional sheeting winch on the coach house roof. There are inboard genoa tracks and a bow roller for a CQR anchor on the bow. The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 192.
Typically the symmetric spinnaker is packed in its own bag, called a turtle, with the three corners on top for ready access. The clews (lower corners) are controlled by lines called sheets. The sheets are run in front (outside) of the forestay and lead to the back of the boat. The head (top corner) is attached to the spinnaker halyard, which is used to raise the sail up the mast.
Hull and deck are joined by a silver anodized aluminum perforated toe rail. Head sail control is managed by recessed anodized aluminum tracks with stainless steel cars, baby stay track and slider, and two Number 24 Barlow Genoa sheet winches, clam cleats and stainless steel cleats and fairleads. One Number 20 Barlow winch is used for the jib halyard. Mainsail control uses a Seaboard ball bearing main sheet traveller.
" Vučković was one of the main organizers of Operation Halyard conducted in period 2 August–27 December 1944.:" Captain Zvonko Vuckovic, who organized evacuation of American Airmen from the airfield Pranjani, on Ravna Gora." After the last Allied pilots were evacuated Mihailović sent Vučković with the political-military Chetnik mission to Allied HQ in Bari.:"They were accompanied by the Chetnik major, Zvonimir Vučković, one of the principal Chetnik commanders.
In 2015, Jun Group raised $28M in its first venture round - from investors including Halyard Capital and Bridge Bank. Halyard's Robert Nolan, Jr., Bruce Eatroff and Brendyn Grimaldi have all joined the company's board of directors. In September 2018, Jun Group was acquired by Advantage Solutions. Jun Group uses data to create custom audiences for Fortune 500 advertisers, and its mobile SDK (software development kit) technology provides direct access to more than 100 million people.
There are two jib sheet winches in the cockpit and two halyard winches on the cabin top. The boom vang has a 4:1 mechanical advantage and can also be employed as a preventer, when attached to the rail. A genoa track system was a factory option. Lacking any cabin windows, ventilation is provided by a large deck hatch on the foredeck, which is also used to pass sails below for storage.
Carved images of the birlinn from the sixteenth century and earlier show the typical rigging: braces, forestay and backstay, shrouds (fore and aft), halyard and a parrel (a movable loop used to secure a yard or gaff to a mast). There is a rudder with pintles on the leading edge, inserted into gudgeons.Rixson, p. 138 It is possible that use was made of a wooden bowline or reaching spar (called a beitass by the Norse).
Hurricane warning Flaghoist signalling is one or more flags (or pennants) simultaneously flying from a fixed halyard, and generally any method of signaling by such means. Each of the flags has a distinct shape and color combination. Each flag or combination of flags has a preassigned meaning or "code". The International Code of Signals defines a standard set of flags and associated alphabet suitable for international use, as well as a set of standard codes.
This allows the spinnaker to collapse into the shadow of the mainsail, where the foot is gathered by a crew member. The halyard is then lowered, and a crew member gathers the sail and stuffs it carefully into the turtle, corners out, and ready for the next deployment. There are, however many other ways to retrieve the spinnaker depending on the conditions and intent. It may or may not go into a turtle.
Headboard on a mainsail. The corners of triangular sails are typically areas of high stress and consequently often have reinforced layers and tape radiating from, whether cross-cut or radial in construction. Their corners are always attached to a shackle, attached to a line or spar—the halyard at the head, a shackle at the tack, and the outhaul at the clew. The connecting shackle runs through a grommet at each of these points.
Yacht clubs and their members may fly their club's burgee while under way and at anchor, day or night. Sailing vessels may fly the burgee either from the main masthead or from a halyard under the lowermost starboard spreader. Most all powerboats (i.e., those lacking any mast or having a single mast) fly the burgee off a short staff at the bow; two-masted power vessels fly the burgee at the foremast.
When sailing dead down wind, it may be helpful to use a downhaul to reef larger sails. Emergency furling is fast and simple. When the sheets and halyard are let go, the sail will blow down wind, drop into the cradle of the topping lifts, while being steadied by the full battens. While this is fast and easy, it will also make a mess of the halyards, boom hauling parrel, yard hauling parrel, and downhauls.
The tomb of the soldier who died for the freedom of the Dominicans. Numerous masts in the square marking the perimeter and all of them are hoisted flags of the Dominican Republic are located. In addition, the triumphal arch of the center of the square is also used as single mast because it has a halyard with another flag of the Dominican Republic, it hoisted larger than those in the above waving masts.
Sails are classified as "triangular sails", "quadrilateral fore-and-aft sails" (gaff-rigged, etc.), and "square sails". The top of a triangular sail, the head, is raised by a halyard, The forward lower corner of the sail, the tack, is shackled to a fixed point on the boat in a manner to allow pivoting about that point—either on a mast, e.g. for a mainsail, or on the deck, e.g. for a jib or staysail.
Like the symmetric, the Asymmetrical spinnaker is often stored in a turtle, with the corners on top for easy access. While a symmetric spinnaker is flown with a "guy" and a "sheet", an asymmetric spinnaker is flown with a tackline and a "sheet." The tack attaches to the bow or (often retractable) bowsprit, and the two sheets attach to the clew. The head of the sail is attached to the spinnaker halyard, which is used to raise the sail.
The merchant ship hoisted her callsign, but as she was ahead and just port of Sydney, the flags were obscured by the funnel. A request from the cruiser that the merchant ship make her signal letters clear, which the signals officer did by lengthening the halyard and swinging the flags clear. The callsign was that of the Dutch ship Straat Malakka, but she was not on Sydneys list of ships meant to be in the area.
The wind died down, preventing Pasley from maneuvering to bring her two 6-pounder bow-chasers to bear. The British tried to move the guns to the stern, but the carronades left them no space in which to place the guns. The British sailors were left to respond to the Spanish cannon fire with no more than small arms fire. Spanish boarding parties took the brig at the third attempt, having shot away the British halyard during the skirmish.
A few twin-masted sailing vessels have the space to erect a "Tee" antenna or an inverted "L" between masts. These antenna configurations are more common on merchant ships. A handheld amateur VHF radio transceiver ready for "maritime mobile" use on a 28' yacht. For VHF and UHF operation, one option is to mount a small yagi antenna to a pole 1–2 m (3–6 ft) long and haul this to the masthead using a flag halyard.
In the summer of 1944, US bombers went on a bombing run to take out Nazi oil fields in Romania but many were shot down over Yugoslavia. Vujnovich then came up with Operation Halyard, a plan to get them out by building a secret airfield. He trained Serbian speaking agents to conduct this operation. He taught them how to blend in by showing them small things such as tying their shoes the Serbian way among other things.
The head has a privacy door and is located forward, just aft of the bow "V"-berth. Additional sleeping space is provided by two quarter berths, although the entire cabin can be used for sleeping space, using the seat-back cushions. A small table can be fitted on the starboard side and can be stowed when not in use. The cockpit has two genoa winches, two spinnaker winches and a two more halyard winches on the cabin top.
Some swing their yards around the mast to make both tacks efficient, but this is difficult with larger sails. Crab-claws are easily to construct, as they work well when cut from a single flat sheet (they don't need multiple shaped pieces to create their 3-D draft). On a small boat like the Sunfish, their rigging can also be limited to one sheet and one halyard. The masts on junk rigs will rarely have shrouds, and will be "unstayed".
Even as simple a sailboat as a Sunfish has a fairlead for each of its two lines. A ring fairlead holds the halyard parallel to the mast so its cleat can be located near to the cockpit. On models without a deck block for the sheet, a hook fairlead in the forward edge of the cockpit gives the sailor options when handling the sheet. An example of hook fairlead can be seen on buildings with an angled flagstaff mounted over a door.
The boat has a draft of with the daggerboard extended and with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car roof rack. For sailing the boat has a boom vang, a Cunningham and an adjustable outhaul. The mast can be pivoted fore and aft, normally raked aft when sailing to windward and adjusted forward when on a run downwind. The mainsail is mounted via a sleeve over the mast and so is not hoisted by a halyard.
As the sail lowers by its own weight, the other running lines will also relax. The sail is lowered until the desired batten is along the boom. Then the gaff hauling parrel and luff hauling parrel are trimmed, and the sheet is hauled to reset the sail to the wind. When reefing on other points of sail, it is helpful to ease the sheet first to take the pressure off the sail, and then ease the halyard and trim the other running lines.
She is also a prominent landmark on the route of the London Marathon. She usually flies signal flags from her ensign halyard reading "JKWS", which is the code representing Cutty Sark in the International Code of Signals, introduced in 1857. Cutty Sark in Greenwich, 1977 The ship is in the care of the Cutty Sark Trust, whose president, the Duke of Edinburgh, was instrumental in ensuring her preservation, when he set up the Cutty Sark Society in 1951. The Trust replaced the Society in 2000.
During World War II in Yugoslavia, the United States initially supported the royal government of Yugoslavia. When the Nazis invaded Yugoslavia in the spring of 1941, the United States decisively supported the Chetniks in the first years of the war. This support took place in the form of extensive clandestine relations between the Office of Strategic Services and Chetniks with William Donovan's administration. Such cooperation was highlighted by complex operations such as Operation Halyard, in which several hundred American pilots were rescued by Chetniks.
Similarly, the term powder monkey was used for small boys that would run black powder from the powder room to the cannons on the ship, as their small size allowed them to negotiate the narrow passages within the ship. The term still applies to modern sailors who climb their masts to make repairs to their rigs. Safety precautions, such as wearing a harness or sitting in a boatswain's chair (a fabric seat that is tied to a halyard) are standard procedure, especially on larger boats.
Raising the junk sail is done by easing the sheets until the furled sail is blown down wind. This will take the pressure off the sail and ease the raising. Then it is important to watch the lines that will run in while the sail is raised, including the gaff hauling parrel, luff hauling parrel, the downhauls if equipped, and the sheets. Hauling the sail with a 3:1 or 4:1 purchase will ease the burden, but the length of halyard will consequently be very long.
Sails may be attached to a mast, boom or other spar or may be attached to a wire that is suspended by a mast. They are typically raised by a line, called a halyard, and their angle with respect to the wind is usually controlled by a line, called a sheet. In use, they may be designed to be curved in both directions along their surface, often as a result of their curved edges. Battens may be used to extend the trailing edge of a sail beyond the line of its attachment points.
In 1961 Kelliher competed in the Edinburgh Cup Competition on the Firth of Clyde. Kelliher's boat was the sole boat from Dun Laoghaire at the event. The boat suffered many breakages at this event, including a broken kicker strap and parted spinnaker halyard, however Kelliher's results prior to this aided his selection to go to the Olympics. In the lead up to the Olympics, Kelliher continued to sail as a member in the Royal Irish Yacht Club. In preparation, he competed in their 1963 End Of Season race in his own Dragon keelboat named 'ysolde'.
This new configuration required a loose "prop" in the middle of the hull to hold the spars up, as well as rope supports on the windward side. This allowed more sail area (and thus more power) while keeping the center of effort low and thus making the boats more stable. The prop was later converted into fixed or removable canted masts where the spars of the sails were actually suspended by a halyard from the masthead. This type of sail is most refined in Micronesian proas which could reach very high speeds.
Following this surrender disaster struck, as Shamrock Vs main halyard parted and her sail collapsed to the deck. The fourth race clinched the cup for Enterprise after which Sir Thomas Lipton was heard to utter "I can't win". Shamrock Vs challenge was plagued by bad luck and haunted by one of the most ruthless skippers in America's Cup history, Harold Vanderbilt. Sir Thomas Lipton, after endearing himself to the American public during 31 years and five attempts, would die the following year never fulfilling his ambition to win the cup.
The Barnett 1400's design goals were that it would be an "easy to sail, and fast to rig sailboat with comfort and speed in mind". The Barnett 1400 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with positive internal flotation and a wide beam. It has an unstayed catboat rig with a loose-footed sail, raised via a halyard and anodized aluminum spars. The hull design features a raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung, kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable daggerboard.
Lt. George Musulin, an OSS officer who had led a liaison mission to Mihailović and one of the foremost advocates of maintaining contact with the Chetniks, was named commander of ACRU 1 (known as the Halyard Mission). Musulin, as Lt. Nelson Deranian, chief of OSS Special Operations Branch (SO) Bari suggested, possessed "the rugged character required to meet the hardships involved". M/Sgt. Michael Rajacich, borrowed from OSS Secret Intelligence Branch (S1) for this particular assignment, and Navy Specialist 1st Class Arthur Jibilian, the mission's OSS radio operator, rounded out Musulin's team.
In November 2013, Kimberly-Clark Corporation announced the company’s plan to pursue a tax-free spin-off of the company’s health care business creating a stand-alone, publicly traded health care company. Robert E. Abernathy, would become chief executive officer of the new company. In May 2014, Kimberly-Clark announced that the Form 10 for the spin-off plan had been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and that the new company, Halyard Health, would be headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The spin-off was scheduled to come into effect on October 31, 2014.
This new configuration required a loose "prop" in the middle of the hull to hold the spars up, as well as rope supports on the windward side. This allowed more sail area (and thus more power) while keeping the center of effort low and thus making the boats more stable. The prop was later converted into fixed or removable canted masts where the spars of the sails were actually suspended by a halyard from the masthead. This type of sail is most refined in Micronesian proas which could reach very high speeds.
Aberdeen was originally founded in 1988 to use enterprise data to help businesses make business decisions by using data governance. Aberdeen has since been acquired by two different companies: Harte Hanks in September 2006 and later Halyard Capital in April 2015. The company initially provided technology industry data and predictive analytics for B2B marketers and sales teams, but as of 2018, provides targeted intent data for marketing and sales. Aberdeen’s method combines online interactions (topic, keywords, PageURL, and Opt-in) with targeting data (company, location, contacts), and first-party visitor intelligence and win/loss history.
General Mihailovic with members of the U.S. military mission, Operation Halyard, 1944 The Chetniks, the short name given to the movement titled the Yugoslav Army of the Fatherland, were initially a major Allied Yugoslav resistance movement. However, due to their royalist and anti-communist views, Chetniks were considered to have begun collaborating with the Axis as a tactical move to focus on destroying their Partisan rivals. The Chetniks presented themselves as a Yugoslav movement, but were primarily a Serb movement. They reached their peak in 1943 with 93,000 fighters.
Some, but not all, major companies that manufacture oral care swabs include SAGE Products, Dynarex, Medline Industries, and Halyard Health. There are a diverse range of oral care swabs on the market, including flavoured oral care swabs with dentrifice (toothpaste), oral care swabs combined with sodium bicarbonate, oral care swabs with a suction swab system, untreated oral care swabs, and lemon glycerine swabsticks. Oral care swabs have also been combined with additional oral care products such as mouth moisturizers (example: biotene), perox-a-mint solution, and antiseptic oral rinses. Two Toothettes and their packaging.
One of these caused a main beam to crack, and the possibility was considered of turning back, even though they were more than halfway to their destination. However, they repaired the ship sufficiently to continue using a "great iron screw" brought along by the colonists (probably a jack to be used for either house construction or a cider press). Passenger John Howland was washed overboard in the storm but caught a top-sail halyard trailing in the water and was pulled back on board. One crew member and one passenger died before they reached land.
He managed to grab a topsail halyard that was trailing in the water and was hauled back aboard safely. On November 9/19, 1620, after about three months at sea, including a month of delays in England, the crew and passengers spotted land, which was the Cape Cod Hook, now called Provincetown Harbor. After they struggled for several days to get south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on November 11/21. On November 11, 1620, the Mayflower Compact was signed.
A sailing ship crew manages the running rigging of each square sail. Each sail has two sheets that control its lower corners, two braces that control the angle of the yard, two clewlines, four buntlines and two reef tackles. All these lines must be manned as the sail is deployed and the yard raised. They use a halyard to raise each yard and its sail; then they pull or ease the braces to set the angle of the yard across the vessel; they pull on sheets to haul lower corners of the sail, clews, out to yard below.
The Laser 3000 is a racing sailing dinghy crewed by two persons with a trapeze for the crew. Launched in 1996, the 3000 was developed from the Laser 2, using the original Frank Bethwaite-designed planing hull combined with a brand new self-draining deck by Derek Clark. Clark also re-designed the rig, using spars and sails from premium proprietary sources and replacing the symmetric spinnaker of the Laser 2 by a larger asymmetric spinnaker (gennaker). The gennaker is chute-launched and retrieved using a single halyard line, and is set on a retractable bowsprit.
Helen Halyard (born 1951) was a third-party candidate for President of the United States in the 1992 presidential election, representing the Socialist Equality Party (US), also called the Workers League. One of the relatively few African-American candidates to run for president, she had previously run twice as their vice-presidential candidate, as Edward Winn's running mate, also African-American. She ran for the United States House of Representatives from New York's 14th congressional district in 1974, losing to Fred Richmond. In 1976 she ran for the House again, for New York's 19th congressional district, losing to incumbent Charles B. Rangel.
In 1901 he became a member of the Matinecock Lodge, attending Masonic meetings on the third floor as often as his schedule would permit. When President, Theodore Roosevelt continued to use the Oyster Bay Bank Building. One newspaper recounts how in 1902, a flag was brought from Washington and raised from a new halyard at the Oyster Bay Bank Building, called the "little White House" in the article. In the summer of 1905 the Oyster Bay Bank Building was chosen as the location for Roosevelt's telegraph office, while the clerical force worked a half-block away in the Moore's Building.
The 3000 is a racing sailing dinghy crewed by two persons with a trapeze for the crew. Launched in 1996 as the Laser 3000, the 3000 was developed from the Laser 2, using the original Frank Bethwaite-designed planing hull combined with a new designed self-draining deck by Derek Clark. Clark also re-designed the rig, using spars and sails from premium proprietary sources and replacing the symmetric spinnaker of the Laser 2 by a larger asymmetric spinnaker (gennaker). The gennaker is chute-launched and retrieved using a single halyard line, and is set on a retractable bowsprit.
The process could be assisted by securing a top halyard to a fixed object, such as a tree or rock, to pull the mast over as far as possible. Maintenance might include repairing damage caused by dry rot or cannon shot, tarring the exterior to reduce leakage (caulking), or removing biofouling organisms, such as barnacles, to increase the ship's speed. One exotic method was the ancient practice of beaching a ship on a shingle beach with the goal of using wave action and the shingle to scour the hull or side of the ship. A beach favoured for careening was called a careenage.
Although British support for the Chetniks ceased, the Americans were less than enthusiastic about British abandonment of the anti-communist Chetniks. As support shifted towards the Partisans, Mihailović's Chetniks attempted to recommence Allied support for the Chetniks by displaying their eagerness to help the Allies. This eagerness to help was put into practice when the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) approached Mihailovic's Chetniks in mid 1944 to organise the airlift of downed US airmen. This operation known as the Halyard Mission resulted in the rescue of 417 US airmen that were previously kept safe by Mihailovic's Chetniks.
There are additional points where reinforcing and grommets may occur: at the cunningham, a downhaul used to flatten a mainsail (jibs may have a similar feature), and along the foot of a Genoa jib to allow a line to lift it out of the waves. The head of a triangular sail may have a rigid headboard riveted to it in order to transfer load from the sail to the halyard. Square sails and gaff-rigged sails also have grommets at corners. Only the clews on a square sail take a comparatively large amount of stress, because the head is supported along the spar.
Almost immediately afterwards Lion lost her remaining dynamo to the rising water which knocked out all remaining light and power. He ordered 'Course Northeast' at 11:02 to bring his ships back to their pursuit of Hipper. He also hoisted 'Attack the rear of the enemy' on the other halyard although there was no connection between the two signals. This caused Rear-Admiral Sir Gordon Moore, temporarily commanding in , to think that the signals meant to attack Blücher, which was about to the northeast, so they turned away from the pursuit of Hipper's main body and engaged Blücher.
The J.E.Bernier II at the Musée maritime du Québec. In 1975, he had the J.E. Bernier II built by Fercraft Marine in Côte- Sainte-Catherine. It was a long steel cutter and built according to the plans of Robert Dufour, the naval architect who designed the Corbin 39 shortly after. The J.E. Bernier II features a lily to the point of halyard of its mainsail, has a displacement of , a draft of and has a Volvo Penta diesel motor of 36 hp. Réal Bouvier left Lachine on June 30, 1976, began sailing 74° North, with the goal of crossing the Northwest Passage.
Lu Fang's father had been a rich but generous squire on Hollow Island, whose estate Lu Fang inherited. Hollow Island is located in the middle of the Song River (松江, possibly today's Suzhou Creek in Shanghai), where his men catch fish. Once, when a boat's halyard broke, Lu Fang quickly climbed up the mast and knotted the loose ends together, earning himself the nickname "Sky Rat". Lu Fang is able to rapidly move up a pole "like a monkey" and like an acrobat, balance himself on the pole with only one arm or one leg around it.
Whereas a standing lug may be tacked conventionally by moving the sail across the vessel, as the wind crosses the bow, a dipping lug must be brought around to the leeward side by a multi-step procedure: #Hauling in the sheets to get the sail over the boat. #Lowering the halyard so that the peak of the sail can be reached, yet the yard is free of interfering with the rest of the boat. #Gathering the after part of the sail and bringing it around forward of the mast. #Bringing the peak down and passing it under the luff of the sail to the new leeward side.
If the halyard is correctly knotted to the middle and bottom of the pole, it is easy enough to make the antenna project above the clutter at the masthead into clear air. The problem is in rotating it - it usually needs to be lowered and re-raised to alter the direction of its beam. For the safety of masthead fittings and lights it is better if these yagis are light in weight and made largely of, for example, plastic tubes supporting internal wire conductors. Operating in this way is best reserved for when in harbour or at anchor, to avoid interfering with the operation of the boat.
Espagnon competed for the French sailing squad, as a 32-year- old crew member in the Tornado class, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Building up their Olympic selection, he and skipper Revil finished a credible sixth in the golden fleet phase to lock one of the eleven quota places offered at the 2007 ISAF Worlds in Cascais, Portugal. The French duo started the series with a fantastic top-four mark on the second race; however, a broken halyard lock before race 4 and a wave of unimpressive tenths towards the final stretch bumped Espagnon and Revil out of the medal hunt to eleventh overall by a slight margin, amassing 69 net points.

Its popularity was perhaps matched by Omnes, as of 2020 Darden Studio's best-selling typeface; initially designed for Landor, it was released in 2006 and has been used by AT&T;, Carrefour, Courrier International, Crayola, Eventbrite, Fanta, and Huggies. Darden's other releases for his foundry include Birra Stout, Corundum Text, Dapifer, Halyard, and TDC award- winner, Jubilat the logo typeface of Bernie Sanders' 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. In 2006, Darden was named one of Print magazine's "New Visual Artists", an annual award given to 20 designers under the age of 30, and he juried the prize in 2010. In 2019, Darden sold Darden Studio to Joyce Ketterer, who had been working at the company for 13 years.
A screecher is a sail that combines the features of a spinnaker and a reacher. Its similarity with a spinnaker is that it is not attached to a stay along its luff, and typically has a slightly larger curvature than a genoa. Luff shape and tension is maintained by the halyard and a bolt rope which is woven into the sail itself, and it is this stiff tensioned rope which allows the sail to be furled on itself. In addition, many screechers are gybed by allowing the sail to fly free and pass in front of the bolt rope and invert, much in the same way that an asymmetrical spinnaker is gybed.
It is then passed through a cringle in the luff of the sail near the foot, but above the tack, and then led down on the other side to a fitting on the mast or boom or on deck. The tension in the luff of the sail is adjusted using a combination of the halyard and the cunningham (where fitted). The primary advantage of adjusting the cunningham is the speed and ease with which the luff tension can be changed while sailing or racing. By either hauling or easing the line, the tension in the luff can be changed, thereby shifting the point of maximum draft of the sail forward or aft respectively, optimizing sail shape and thus performance.
The spruce boom is 10' in length, grooved for the bolt rope foot. Some early out haul designs had a metal bail attached aft end through which a wire outhaul ran, swagged to a wire and run to a cleat on the bottom of the boom near the main sheet block through a groove in the boom's and the tag runs to a cleat. The goose neck is pin-style with a 90-degree tang that has a hole in it and sits over a screw below the stainless pin receiver on the mast, preventing the boom from swinging independent of the mast. Original halyard is wire/rope, with a ball stop on the wire but now vary.
These sails were not made of cloth but of a matting material called "tikal" that is also used for floor matting and other purposes. Like most junk sails the battens were made of bamboo, usually creating 6 individual panels to the sail. The halyard was attached almost in the middle of the sail, and since the luff, or edges, of the sail was nearly straight and only about half the length of the markedly convex leech, the yard, when hoisted, was sitting in an angle of about 15° - 20° with the vertical. The foresail was set on the port side of the topan and the mainsail on the starboard side of the agung.
A memorial plaque for Operation Halyard in Pranjani, Serbia. However, OSS support for the Chetniks was compromised by the United Kingdom's MI6 policy of favoring the Yugoslav Partisans over the Chetniks. In 1943, the US government's support for the Chetniks over the Yugoslav Partisans was such that president Franklin D. Roosevelt discussed with Winston Churchill in a private conversation that he imagined that Yugoslavia's boundaries would be completely redrawn into three separate states, with Peter Karađorđević Jr. being the monarch of an independent Serbian kingdom at the end of the war. The USAF and the British RAF began bombing Belgrade indiscriminately in April 1944 when they thought that Nazi occupation could not be removed by home-grown resistance alone.
Since different songs were useful for different tasks they are traditionally divided into three main categories, short haul shanties, for tasks requiring quick pulls over a relatively short time; halyard shanties, for heavier work requiring more set- up time between pulls; and Capstan shanties, for long, repetitive tasks requiring a sustained rhythm, but not involving working the lines. Famous shanties include, the 'Drunken Sailor', 'Blow the Man Down', 'Shenandoah' and 'Bound for South Australia', some of which have remained in the public consciousness or been revived by popular recordings. There was some interest in sea shanties in the first revival from figures like Percy Grainger,J. Bird, Percy Grainger (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999), p. 125.
Burgee of Compagnia della Vela, Venice, Italy Members belonging to a yacht club or sailing organization may fly their club's unique flag (usually triangular), called a burgee, both while under way and at anchor (however, not while racing). Traditionally, the burgee was flown from the main masthead, however it may also be flown from a small pole on the bow pulpit, or on the starboard rigging beneath the lowest starboard spreader on a flag halyard. Some traditional clubs have also been granted the right to fly a special yacht ensign at the stern. At traditional clubs the burgee and the ensign is hoisted at 08:00 each morning and lowered each evening at sunset.
Sailing dinghies racing North Haven, Maine, displayed at the Maine State Museum in Augusta; used in the 1880s, participated in sailing races A typical sailing rig for a dinghy is a gunter with a two-piece folding mast stepped through a thwart and resting on the keel. It is raised by pulling a rope called a halyard. A single-sailed rig is usually preferred over a marconi or Bermudan (with a triangular mainsail and jib) because this rig is simpler, with no stays to attach. Sprit rigs also have no boom, and the advantage that the sail can be brailed up out of the way against the mast when rowing or motoring.
Robert Harbold McDowell (1894—1980) was an American historian and intelligence officer who worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. McDowell, an expert on the Near East, was a professor of Balkan history at the University of Michigan. During World War II he was an OSS desk officer in Cairo and between August and November 1944 a member of an American mission Ranger, to the Chetniks, where he participated in negotiations with Germans to surrender their troops to Chetniks and Americans, and in Operation Halyard, to organize transport of the Allied pilots rescued by Chetniks. In some works he has been described as a man of "violently pro-Chetnik prejudices".
The bowline is commonly used in sailing small craft, for example to fasten a halyard to the head of a sail or to tie a jib sheet to a clew of a jib. The bowline is well known as a rescue knot for such purposes as rescuing people who might have fallen down a hole, or off a cliff onto a ledge. This knot is particularly useful in such a situation because it is possible to tie with one hand. As such, a person needing rescue could hold onto the rope with one hand and use the other to tie the knot around their waist before being pulled to safety by rescuers.
Generally the procedure, which may be feasible only on smaller sails, is to: #lower the yard sufficiently to allow the dip #swap the sail tack and tug the yard downhaul #move the halyard to windward #rehoist and sheet in. The Beer Luggers, which normally have the tack of the sail set to a small bowsprit where untacking it is difficult, will have the lazy sheet forward of the luff of the sail and will use it haul the whole sail around its own luff, leaving the old working but now lazy sheet again forwards around the luff of the sail. On larger luggers, like the Fifie, large dipping lug sails were possible only with the introduction of steam-powered capstans to facilitate with dipping.
Following the Tulle Murders, Major Otto Diekmann's Waffen- SS company wiped out the village of Oradour-sur-Glane on 10 June. The resistance also assisted the later Allied invasion in the south of France (Operation Dragoon). They started insurrections in cities such as Paris when allied forces came close. Operation Halyard, which took place between August and December 1944, was an Allied airlift operation behind enemy lines during World War II conducted by Chetniks in occupied Yugoslavia. In July 1944, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) drew up plans to send a team to Chetniks led by General Draža Mihailović in the German-occupied Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia for the purpose of evacuating Allied airmen shot down over that area.
The Macquarie Group of Australia bought American Consolidated Media in 2007 for $80 million.Macquarie Media buys US newspaper business At that time, the company owned 40 newspapers in Texas and Oklahoma including five dailies (Alice Echo-News Journal, Brownwood Bulletin, Miami News-Record, Stephenville Empire-Tribune, Waxahachie Daily Light), 19 weeklies and 16 "shopper"-type products. Macquarie purchased ACM from a group of companies including Halyard Capital, Arena Capital Partners, multiple private equity funds in New York and one in Boston (BancBoston Ventures).Macquarie Media Group -- Acquisition of American Consolidated Media Later that year, ACM acquired 11 publications in Ohio from Brown Publishing Company, 22 publications in Maryland from Chesapeake Publishing, and 19 publications of Superior Publishing in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan from MCG Capital.
Following a musical performance by Haley's Washington Band, grand commanders of the SCJC, the Scottish Rite's Northern Jurisdiction, and Royal Order of Scotland all released the halyard holding the U.S. flag that covered the memorial. This was followed by loud cheers from the crowd and a prayer given by Masonic chaplain Charles Alvin Smith. Frederick Webber, secretary general of the SCJC, then gave a speech and formally presented the memorial to the American people: President of the District Commission H. B. F. McFarland accepted the memorial on behalf of the American people: After additional music was performed by the band, a benediction was given and the ceremony concluded. Throughout the ceremony, Pike was portrayed as a kind poet, though there were a few references to his service as a Confederate general.

When George Musulin organized the 1944 final rescue of 500 American airmen called Operation Halyard, Draža Mihailović sent a political mission to Bari, Italy, aboard an American plane. The arrival of Adam Pribićević (now former President of the Independent Democratic Party of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia), Dr. Vladimir Belajčić (former Justice of the Superior Court of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia), Ivan Kovač (a Chetnik representative), and Major Zvonko Vučković (one of the principal Chetnik commanders) caused the British concern since they had already chosen whom to back. At the Bari stopover, Ivan Šubašić, who signed the Treaty of Vis, also known as the Tito-Šubašić Agreement, earlier that year, met with the members of Mihailović's political mission but the Prime Minister-in-exile said nothing about the agreement he signed months earlier compromising the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Pribićević and his team remained in the West after the war ended, like thousands of other soldiers who managed to escape.
