How Do I Cut Matt Board Into Letters

Geneva Watch "start racing 'for helmsman / navigator / tactician

In connection with the model Yachtingraf Yema, a word on the "start of the regatta. "The guns are given to" Start - 10mins, then -5, etc.. Hence the interest to have these "two times for 5 minutes, during which the crew is busy tack (tack), upstream of the start line. is what we call the pre-departure, where competitors are all the same side of the line (starting area). This line is formed by the alignment of the committee boat, carrying the flag, and another (or buoy). This line should be taken only AFTER q eu-departure has been given, and certainly not before (starting grilled) on pain of having to iron it in the right direction, and-more redoing round the buoy or ship committee. Hence a huge waste of time, and any chance of winning. These guns (Nowadays beeps horn (s ong and short) or rocket pistol are given at -10, -5, -4, -1, 0 minutes. Sometimes they report "cancellation" or "general recall." There are also illustrated by changes of flags on the boat of the Commissioner, but Sovereign ent difficult to see as hidden by competitors. So it is very interesting for helmsman and the navigator and tactician or to have a cover of the remaining time information to even his wrist. A few seconds departure of all boats there are, under the same tack, a few meters of the crossing, and a few feet of each other. All in a concert swear to affirm its priorities. It keep in mind the remaining time, distance that still separates us from the line, the strength of the winds and the speed of the boat, take the time each operation as it will slow the momentum. Yema, Omega, Girard-Perregaux were interested in the extent of this count. making 7 knots 13 km / hour, the elapsed time time so precious, flows very quickly and slowly at a time. Illustrated by blue dots and red, they better keep a cool head. interest is to control its positioning on the water and time runs out. must quickly decide to make another little board "waste of time" or not. This count is 10 minutes of departure visually translated by such shows. PS: The rules of racing are revised are, internationally, for periods of 4 to 5 years; So unfortunately ment such a watch of the sixties is not always consistent with previous laws in force, but who cares qd we love vintage! ! !
