The Elements of Boat Strength: For Builders, Designers, and Owners

The Elements of Boat Strength: For Builders, Designers, and Owners

"This work is significant. It is the first to include a method of assessing structural strength in the context of the modern marine environment."--Commander M. C. Cruder, U.S. Coast GuardAcclaimed author and naval architect Dave Gerr created this unique system of easy-to-use scantling rules and rules-of-thumb for calculating the necessary dimensions, or scantlings, of hulls, decks, and other boat parts, whether built of fiberglass, wood, wood-epoxy composite, steel, or aluminum. In addition to the rules themselves, The Elements of Boat Strength offers their context: an in-depth, plain-English discussion of boatbuilding materials, methods, and practices that will guide you through all aspects of boat construction.Now you can avoid wading through dense technical engineering manuals or tackling advanced mathematics. The Elements of Boat Strength has all the formulas, tables, illustrations, and charts you need to judge how heavy each piece of your boat should be in order to last and be safe. With this book, an inexpensive scientific calculator, and a pad of paper, you'll be able to design and specify all the components necessary to build a sound, long-lasting, rugged vessel.What reviewers have said about Dave Gerr's books:Propeller Handbook"By far the best book available on the subject."--Sailing"The best layman's guide we've ever read."--Practical SailorDave Gerr and International Marine made a complicated topic understandable and put it into a handbook that is easy to use."--WoodenBoat"Without doubt the definitive reference for selecting, installing, and understanding boat propellers."--Royal Navy Sailing Association JournalThe Nature of Boats"If you are not nautically obsessed before reading this book, you will most certainly be afterward."--SailingFascinating potpourri of information about today's boats, modern and traditional."--WoodenBoat

The Nature of Boats

The Nature of Boats

Boat noodling. Boat lovers suffer universally from this benign affliction. In its mildest form, boat noodling is nothing more than wondering why that sloop in the next slip is faster than yours. In a more significant manifestation it could mean serious daydreaming--drifting off for extended periods, sketching design ideas on the back of an envelope. Chances are, if you've picked up this book just to see what's in it, you're beyond help.Naval architect Dave Gerr offers the perfect antidote, a browser's reference to understanding how boats tick: all you've ever wanted to know about boats--power and sail, racer and cruiser; dinghy and motoryacht.In the clear, friendly, nontechnical style that has made his column for Offshore magazine so enduring and popular, Gerr explains everything from how thick a hull should be to why one sailboat tips less than another, from choosing an engine to designing a rig for your trawler yacht, from building a dinghy to simple rules of thumb for dozens of design quandaries.Gerr writes for the boat noodler in all of us--those seriously interested in learning and dreaming about all types of watercraft. There is no better way to become a better sailor, equipped to handle any contingency. And there's no better place to start than right here.

The Propeller Handbook: The Complete Reference for Choosing, Installing, and Understanding Boat Propellers

The Propeller Handbook: The Complete Reference for Choosing, Installing, and Understanding Boat Propellers

Dave Gerr

International Marine Publishing Co

On the surface, choosing the correct propeller for a particular boat seems simple. But one factor affects another, which then affects another factor, leading many boaters to believe that propeller selection depends more on black magic than logic.All the questions are answered in this complete reference, the first of its kind. This clear, easy-to-use handbook for all small boats is written not for Ph.D.s seeking the latest wrinkle in high-tech propeller design, but as a practical aid for the average mechanic, engineer, boatbuilder, fleet operator, serious yachtsman, or naval architect.

The First Ever Guide for Optimizing Boat SystemsThis guide is invaluable for anyone designing or installing mechanical systems on a new boat, retrofitting an existing boat, or evaluating a boat's operating condition. Writing for designers, builders, owners, buyers, mechanics, surveyors, and insurers of sailboats, powerboats, and commercial vessels, Dave Gerr provides design and installation guidance for each major mechanical system plus pragmatic guidelines and real-world interpretations of American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) and European standards. No marine professional or serious boater should be without Boat Mechanical Systems Handbook. "Dave Gerr has a knack for breaking down the more esoteric concepts of naval architecture into language that’s easily understood by the layman, which is one of the reasons why his writing often appears in the pages of SAIL. Another reason is his deep practical knowledge of the intricacies and subtleties of boat construction and systems, and the way they relate to each other. The subhead of Boat Mechanical Systems Handbook says it all--'how to design, install and recognize proper systems in boats.' Light reading this isn’t, but if you’re about to refit your boat or upgrade outdated systems, perhaps with some serious voyaging in mind, this book is a worthwhile investment. This is a unisex book, for both powerboaters and sailors; there’s no mention of sailing rigs, but every other conceivable system is covered more or less exhaustively."--PETER NIELSEN, SAIL, November 2009Praise for Dave Gerr's previous books:The Elements of Boat Strength:“Certain books, because of their thoroughness, tend to become industry standards; such is the case with The Elements of Boat Strength.”--Ocean NavigatorPropeller Handbook:“The best layman's guide we've ever read.”--Practical Sailor“Gerr made a complicated topic understandable and put it into a handbook that is easy to use.”--WoodenBoatThe Nature of Boats:“Offers, in a disarmingly charming fashion, a look at all aspects of what makes a boat work. If you are not nautically obsessed prior to reading this book, you most certainly will be afterward.”--Sailing

Dave doesn't get out much. He's never been popular at parties, or first picked in dodge ball. One thing Dave has always been, though, is a bad roommate. It's not that he leaves dirty dishes out and forgets to flush (though let's face it, he does), it's more about how he manages to always screw things up. For instance, blowing people up. It's not intentional, usually, but Dave's issue is that he's a demon, and not a particularly successful one. Dave is a play in one act for a cast of five that takes place in the middle of a bedroom renovation. A simple attempt at a harmless joke takes an unexpected turn when the couple unwittingly summon Dave. The story follows the three through the ensuing week as the work to finish the bedroom, plan a party, and no get blown up. GENRE - Dark comedy LENGTH - 35-45 minutes CAST - 2 females, 3 males SET - Home interior/bedroom Request Performance Rights: http: //bit.ly/fienen-inquire

Dave sitter hemma i sin andrahandslägenhet i Uppsala och tycker lite synd om sig själv. Han har inget jobb, känner knappt någon och är olyckligt kär i Amy. Amy var kär i Dave, men har gjort det ganska tydligt för honom att hon inte längre är intresserad. I handen har han ett fint diplom som intygar att han precis tagit sig igenom tre år på konstskola, men vars tillfälliga användningsområde är att agera samlingsplats för en imponerande mängd ludd han lyckats skopa upp ur naveln. Dave drömmer om en karriär på reklambyrå, och ska man tro omdömena han fått framstår han dessutom som relativt kompetent även om framtida arbetsgivare inte direkt står på kö med erbjudanden om att anställa honom. Men plötsligt, när livet inte kan bli deppigare än det redan är, plingar det på dörren. I trapphuset står en gänglig kille i svettiga arbetskläder som lätt nonchalant står lutad mot räcket. Han introducerar sig som Chris, halar upp en ljummen öl från en påse han håller i handen, och frågar om han får komma in. Dave vet inte om det där och då, men detta besök ska visa sig vara början till vad som kommer bli de roligaste och mest händelserika åren i hans liv.

Dave Brubeck's Time Out

Dave Brubeck's Time Out

Crist Stephen A.

Oxford University Press Inc

sidottu
Dave Brubeck's Time Out ranks among the most popular, successful, and influential jazz albums of all time. Released by Columbia in 1959 alongside such other landmark albums as Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and Charles Mingus's Mingus Ah Um, Time Out became the first jazz album to be certified platinum, while its featured track, "Take Five" became the first jazz single to surpass one million copies sold. In addition to its commercial successes, the album is widely recognized as a pioneering endeavor into the use of odd meters in jazz. With its opening track, "Blue Rondo a la Turk" written in 9/8, its hit single "Take Five" in 5/4, and equally innovative plays on the more common 3/4 and 4/4 meters on other tracks, Take Five has played an important role in the development of modern jazz. In this book, author Stephen A. Crist draws on nearly ten years of archival research to offer the most thorough examination to date of this seminal jazz album. Supplementing his research with interviews with key individuals, including Brubeck's widow Iola and daughter Catherine, as well as interviews conducted with Brubeck himself prior to his passing in 2012, Crist paints a complete picture of the album's origins, creation, and legacy. Couching careful analysis of each of the album's seven tracks within historical and cultural context, he offers fascinating insights into the composition and development of some of the albums best known songs. From Brubeck's 1958 State Department-sponsored tour of Turkey during which he first encountered the aksak rhythms that would from the basis of "Blue Rondo a la Turk" to the backstage jam session that laid the seeds for "Take Five", Crist sheds an exciting new light on one of the most significant albums in jazz history.

Dave Brubeck and the Performance of Whiteness

Dave Brubeck and the Performance of Whiteness

Kelsey Klotz

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2023
sidottu
How can we--jazz fans, musicians, writers, and historians--understand the legacy and impact of a musician like Dave Brubeck? It is undeniable that Brubeck leveraged his fame as a jazz musician and status as a composer for social justice causes, and in doing so, held to a belief system that, during the civil rights movement, modeled a progressive approach to race and race relations. It is also true that it took Brubeck, like others, some time to understand the full spectrum of racial power dynamics at play in post-WWII, early Cold War, and civil rights-era America. Dave Brubeck and the Performance of Whiteness uses Brubeck's performances of whiteness across his professional, private, and political lives as a starting point to understand the ways in which whiteness, privilege, and white supremacy more fully manifested in mid-century America. How is whiteness performed and re-performed? How do particular traits become inscribed with whiteness, and further, how do those traits, now racialized in a listener's mind, filter the sounds a listener hears? To what extent was Brubeck's whiteness made by others? How did audiences and critics use Brubeck to craft their own identities centered in whiteness? Drawing on archival records, recordings, and previously conducted interviews, Dave Brubeck and the Performance of Whiteness listens closely for the complex and shifting frames of mid-century whiteness, and how they shaped the experiences of Brubeck's critics, audiences, and Brubeck himself. Throughout, author Kelsey Klotz asks what happens when a musician tries to intervene, using his privilege as a tool with which to disrupt structures of white supremacy, even as whiteness continues to retain its hold on its beneficiaries.

THE DEFINITIVE, INVESTIGATIVE BIOGRAPHY OFJAZZ LEGENDDAVE BRUBECK(TAKE FIVE) In 2003, music journalist Philip Clark was granted unparalleled access to jazz legend Dave Brubeck. Over the course of ten days, he shadowed the Dave Brubeck Quartet during their extended British tour, recording an epic interview with the bandleader. Brubeck opened up as never before, disclosing his unique approach to jazz; the heady days of his classic quartet in the 1950s-60s; hanging out with Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis; and the many controversies that had dogged his 66-yearlong career. Alongside beloved figures like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, Brubeck has achieved name recognition beyond jazz. But finding a convincing fit for Brubeck's legacy, one that reconciles his mass popularity with his advanced musical technique, has proved largely elusive. In Dave Brubeck: A Life inTime, Clark provides us with a thoughtful, thorough, and long-overdue biography of an extraordinary man whose influence continues to inform and inspire musicians today. Structured around Clark's extended interview and intensive new research, this book recounts one of the last untold stories of jazz, unearthing the secret history of Take Five and many hitherto unknown aspects of Brubeck's early career-and sharing details about his creative relationship with his star saxophonist, Paul Desmond. Woven throughout are cameo appearances from a host of unlikely figures, from Sting, Ray Manzarek of The Doors, and Keith Emerson to John Cage, Leonard Bernstein, Harry Partch, and Edgard Var se. Each chapter explores a different theme or aspect of Brubeck's life and music, illuminating the core of his artistry and genius. To quote President Obama, as he awarded the musician with a Kennedy Center Honor: You can't understand America without understanding jazz, and you can't understand jazz without understanding Dave Brubeck.
