			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sailing might be one of prestigious sports on earth, the luxury of yacht and the all night party on boat are just few examples of the attractive living on it.</p>
<p>Instead of that there are several things that your should consider to have it for your own security matter, such as location of your boat dock, and some tools that you should have such as <a href="http://www.just4boats.com/Solar-Cleat-Lights-Solar-Cleat-Lites-s/347.htm" target="_blank">dock lighting</a>.<br />
<span id="more-38"></span><br />
Dock Lightning help you to dock your boat or yacht on the deck and also prevent your leg to trip on it, also its light could help you to found it easily. And its solar cells power doesn&#8217;t required much maintenance, its a tool that you should consider to have.</p>
<p>Another tips that you should consider such as:<br />
1. always take sunblock in your pocket, when you&#8217;re sailing in the middle of the sea or ocean, sunblock is something that your skin needed.<br />
2. life jacket or life vest is standard important things that you should have. Always put them on sight in case something happens.<br />
3. If you brought child on board, look after their location, its better to kept them inside the cockpit, if the want to play on the deck, always give them life vest to wear.<br />
4. Warming up in 1,200 ke 1,500 rpm of your motor before running it could help extend your battery life.<br />
5. location for docking, its important to know it.<br />
6. keep the environment green by not throwing can or bottle or any trash on the ocean.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all the tips you should consider and knows on sailing, hopefully you could do it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether used for ocean cruising or family vacations, the Yacht is a sturdy, easy to sail pocket cruiser.<br />
The low topsides, narrow beam and 27-foot length of the Yacht, Vega certainly do not fit the image of a typical ocean-going yacht. Nevertheless several Vegas have successfully circumnavigated the globe. Dozens, perhaps hundreds more have crossed at least one ocean, and one Vega, The Berzerk, sailed through 40-foot seas to Antarctica. Designed after Swedish FolkBoats<br />
Designed in Sweden by Per Brohall in 1964, the fiberglass-hulled Albin Vega is modeled after the narrow-beamed Nordic folkboat. Like the folkboat, the Vega was built to be a sturdy, simple, economical, and easy-to-sail family boat.<br />
<span id="more-32"></span><br />
Design Features<br />
•	Solid Fiberglass hull, with cored fiberglass decks and coach roof for lightness.<br />
•	Relatively shallow draft at just under four feet.<br />
•	Keel about half the length of the water line for stability, and reduced drag.<br />
•	Hull and deck caulked and bolted every 5 inches for a strong, water-tight seal.<br />
•	Though topsides are lower than most modern cruisers, the cockpit remains dry and comfortable even in high seas.<br />
Below Deck<br />
Though compact, the Vega has nearly six feet to headroom in the main cabin. There is a small galley with an icebox, sink, and cooktop. A removable table fits between the main cabin settees for dining or charting, and the two settees also serve as 6 foot bunks. The V-berth sleeps two comfortably. With only eight feet of beam, the boat would feel cramped with four adults aboard for any extended period of time, but is well-suited to a small family,</p>
<p>The Sailing Rig<br />
This Yacht is sloop rigged, and can be easily single-handed. The sail area is somewhat conservative for inland waters, but excellent for off-shore. Though the boat doesn’t point exceptionally high, it handles beautifully off the wind, is well balanced, and heels at a comfortable angle even in heavy winds.</p>
<p>Despite it&#8217;s popularity, the Vega does have a few issues:<br />
•	Random Reversing: The prop is located aft of the rudder, making backing up a bit of a challenge. Many owners have found creative ways to compensate for this quirky flaw.<br />
•	Deck Compression below the mast: The Vega’s mast is stepped on the cabin roof, and supported by a beam below deck. Some Vegas have experience sagging of the support beam. Several owners have beefed up the bulkhead and support beam over the years, eliminating the problem, but potential buyers should check the support carefully.<br />
•	Weakness of the Rudder Post:The rudder is attached to the aft end of the keel rather than a skeg&#8211;normally this is a very solid way to support a rudder, but some Vegas have had problems with the rudder post. Again, this problem has often been corrected by previous owners. To test the rudder, hold the tiller still, and try to move the rudder. If it flexes, it probably needs to be rebuilt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>maritime museum based in the Baltimore Inner Harbor, have an opportunity to tour the U.S. Navy submarine that fired the final torpedoes and sank the last two Japanese ships in World War II.<br />
The U.S.S. Torsk, commissioned in the last days of the war, now stands guard next to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. The historic naval submarine, with its fiercely-painted bow, offers maritime history buffs the chance to see for themselves what it would have been like serving on the cramped 1940s-era vessel, where the only way to pass someone in a corridor was to turn sideways.<br />
In fact, visitors to the Torsk may encounter former seamen who once served in the crews of the Torsk and other Navy fleet submarines. These submarine crew members, all volunteers who underwent incredibly arduous testing before they were accepted, represented a tiny fraction of Navy enlistment, but were responsible for sinking more than half of the Japanese tonnage destroyed during World War II, according to the Navy.<br />
The U.S.S. Torsk, one of two surviving Tench Class submarines, was built and launched at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard within the last six months of 1944, and was commissioned on Dec. 16, 1944, as the Battle of the Bulge raged in the Ardennes.<br />
The U.S. Navy named its World War II submarines after fish and swimming mammals; the Torsk got its name from a type of pale yellow-and-white codfish found in great numbers in the North Atlantic ocean.</p>
<p>Initially deployed to the Pacific, where it operated from Pearl Harbor, the Torsk accomplished two patrols off Japan during early and mid-1945, operating with three other U.S. Navy submarines. By this time in the war, there were few targets left to attack, and although the submarines contacted two small Japanese ships, they did not sink them.<br />
It was while patrolling in the Sea of Japan on Aug. 12, 1945 that the Torsk saw her first war action, firing two torpedoes at a small freighter but failing to sink the ship. The next day, the Torsk finally sank her first vessel, a small cargo ship named the Kaiho Maru.<br />
And on Aug. 14, 1945, she sank two more small coastal defense ships, making the Torsk the last combat vessel to fire torpedoes and sink ships in World War II. The order to cease fire was issued to all U.S. forces on Aug. 15, 1945.<br />
After World War II ended, the U.S.S. Torsk returned to the United States and was assigned as a submarine training ship at the U.S. Navy&#8217;s Submarine School in New London, Conn. There, she made dives several times each day as she trained enlisted men and officers for submarine duty.<br />
In late 1955, the Torsk was modified to allow her to participate in testing of the Regulus missile, a radio-controlled pilotless aircraft that could carry either nuclear or conventional armament. The submarine didn&#8217;t carry the missile; instead, she carried radio equipment to control the missile, and was positioned along its flight path so that she could control the missile while it was in the area.<br />
The Torsk also played a role in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, during which she participated in the blockade off Cuba and sent boarding parties to inspect Soviet merchant ships. She was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal for her work in the crisis.<br />
The submarine was decommissioned in 1968, and moved to Baltimore to serve as a museum and memorial in 1972.<br />
Today, the U.S.S. Torsk is berthed in the Baltimore Inner Harbor, surrounded by Baltimore hotels, shops, restaurants and other attractions, including the historic Coast Guard Cutter Taney, historic Chesapeake Lightship, also a part of Historic Ships in Baltimore.<br />
Visitors to the Torsk can look in on the torpedo rooms, the navigation station, crew mess and berthing areas, and the engine room, and can get a feel for the very cramped quarters in which 80 men spent weeks at a time. When a former submarine crew member is onboard to answer questions, visitors can hear first-hand what it was like to serve on a vessel like the Torsk.<br />
Historic Ships executive director Christopher Rowsom said in an email interview that the Torsk Volunteer Association is on board every Saturday morning working on maintenance and restoration projects, and members are happy to answer questions.</p>
