Crow-stepped gable
A crow-stepped gable, stepped gable, or corbie step is a stairstep type of design at the top of the triangular gable-end of a building. The top of the parapet wall projects above the roofline and the top of the brick or stone wall is stacked in a step pattern above the roof as a decoration and as a convenient way to finish the brick courses.
# Geography.
The oldest examples can be seen in Ghent (Flanders, Belgium) and date from the 12th century : the house called "Spijker" on "Graslei", and some other romanesque buildings in this city. From there, they were spread in the whole of Northern Europe as from the 13th century, in particular in cities of the Hanseatic League (with | 6,123,703 |
7540912 | Crow-stepped gable | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crow-stepped%20gable | Crow-stepped gable
Brick Gothic style), then in Central Europe at the next century. These gables are numerous in Belgium (Flanders), Netherlands, all Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Baltic States, Switzerland and some parts of France (French Flanders, Eastern Normandy, Picardy and Alsace). They are also present but much rarer in the British Isles. Crow-stepped gables are especially common on traditional Flemish and Dutch houses and Danish medieval churches.
Crow-stepped gables were also used in Scotland as early as the 16th century. Examples of Scottish crow-stepped gable can be seen at Muchalls Castle, Monboddo House, and the Stonehaven Tolbooth, all late 16th- and early 17th-century buildings.
19th-century | 6,123,704 |
7540912 | Crow-stepped gable | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crow-stepped%20gable | Crow-stepped gable
examples are found in North America, and the step gable is also a feature of the northern-Renaissance Revival and Dutch Colonial Revival styles.
# Construction.
Convenient access to the roof ridge motivated the crow-step design, along with the availability of squarish stones to accomplish this form of construction. The access would have been convenient for chimney sweeps and roofers in earlier times, where cranes were non-existent and tall ladders were not common.
With crow steps, the roofing slates (rarely tiles) do not reach the end of the building, so making for a special problem with keeping the roof watertight. Many different schemes are found for overcoming this, some of which are described | 6,123,705 |
7540912 | Crow-stepped gable | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crow-stepped%20gable | Crow-stepped gable
below. Terms currently used in Scotland are italicised.
- Slates may be laid to the edge of the crow step, with the last slate raised by a wedge ("tilting fillet"). Then mortar (lime mortar or cement) would be laid over the edge of the slate to seal the gap. Other solutions involve working with lead.
- A groove approximately 25 mm (1 inch) deep is cut into the inside edge of the steps. A lead abutment flashing is inserted into this groove, called a chase or a "raggle". The lead is laid over the end slate, which is raised by a tilting fillet.
- Leading is inserted into a raggle, and used to make a trough, or secret gutter, running down the inside edge of the steps. The far edge of the trough | 6,123,706 |
7540912 | Crow-stepped gable | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crow-stepped%20gable | Crow-stepped gable
is raised over a triangular fillet. Slates are then laid resting on that trough edge and overlapping into the trough, which is open and runs directly down to gutters ("roans").
- Rather than forming a raggle, lead flashings may be placed into the joints between bricks as they are laid.
When lead is to be held into a raggle, small folded lead wedges called "bats" are inserted at intervals and hammered in so they expand. The raggle is then sealed with mortar.
Crow steps are frequently made of sandstone, even on buildings otherwise of granite, and it is said that the porous nature of sandstone leads to problems with water penetration. Because of this, crow steps are sometimes capped with lead | 6,123,707 |
7540912 | Crow-stepped gable | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crow-stepped%20gable | Crow-stepped gable
or sealed with other materials.
# Design variation.
There are a number of variations on the basic design. One such structure is Culross Palace built in 1597 which features a veiled woman on the crow steps. Roofs in Scotland are typically steeper than in the rest of the United Kingdom (possibly because it snows more) making for steeper and more step-like steps.
# Alternative terms.
"The Nuttall Encyclopædia" suggests this architectural feature is called corble steps. "Corbie steps" (from the Scots language "corbie": crow) is a more common version. Another term sometimes used is craw step. In Dutch, this design is termed "" ("stair-step gable"), characteristic of many brick buildings in the | 6,123,708 |

Mayura (film)
Mayura is a 1975 Indian Kannada epic historical drama film, directed by Vijay. It is one of the most popular films of acclaimed Kannada actor Dr Rajkumar, who plays the role of Prince Mayurasharma of the Kadamba dynasty, the earliest native kingdom to rule over what is today the modern state of Karnataka. The film depicts the life of Mayura, a Brahmin youth, as he discovers his royal heritage and realizes his destiny of ascending to the throne of the then-Pallava kingdom.
Based on a novel of the same name by Devudu Narasimha Sastri, the film is notable for its various scenes filmed inside and around the famous Mysore Palace. The movie was also the last movie to be shot inside | 6,123,716 |
7541099 | Mayura (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayura%20(film) | Mayura (film)
the Mysore Palace. The movie saw a theatrical run of 30 weeks. It is considered by many as a symbol of Kannada pride. The movie was dubbed in Telugu as Mahaveera Mayura.
K. V. Vijayendra Prasad, father of S. S. Rajamouli and the storywriter of "" had revealed that he was inspired by this movie while writing the story for "". He had further revealed that the core story line - about the hero not knowing his birth secret that he belongs to a royal family and lives in isolation in a village - was also inspired by this movie.
# Plot.
The film opens in Kanchi with Mayura, a Brahmin youth challenging an arrogant wrestler and defeating him. Mayura had never been formally trained and had only learned | 6,123,717 |
7541099 | Mayura (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayura%20(film) | Mayura (film)
techniques of wrestling by observing other wrestlers. As a Brahmin, he was required to study Vedas, yet he was deeply interested in martial arts and after this wrestling encounter, Ranga Jetti (M. P. Shankar), the premier wrestler in Kanchi, takes him under his wing and trains him. After becoming proficient in all the martial arts, one day, while observing the training of Pallava princes, Mayura accidentally gets into a fight with and gives a thrashing to Vishnugopa (Vajramuni), the Pallava prince, thereby earning his enmity.
After this, Mayura has to flee Kanchi as per the advice of Ranga Jetti, to escape from pursuing Pallavas. He also then learns that he is in fact the son of Raja Chandravarma, | 6,123,718 |
7541099 | Mayura (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayura%20(film) | Mayura (film)
the Kadamba king who was killed through deceit by the Pallava king, Sivaskandhavarma. Upon learning from his father's minister about his Kshatriya antecedents and his illustrious lineage, Mayura dedicates himself to throw the Pallava (foreign) yoke and liberate his motherland. Returning to Banavasi in the guise of a merchant called Nilakanthagupta, Mayura builds a following and an army. Through clever strategies, he conquers both Banavasi and the Telugu speaking regions around Srishaila, thus building a vast kingdom.
While the film builds the rivalry between Vishnugopa and Mayura, it also throws light on the mutually admiring friendship between Mayura and the Pallava crown prince (Srinath) | 6,123,719 |
7541099 | Mayura (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayura%20(film) | Mayura (film)
and also on the growing love between Mayura and the Pallava princess Premavati (Manjula). In the end, Vishnugopa overcomes his anger and hatred towards Mayura, who marries Premavati, with the blessings of Sivaskandhavarma himself.

# Significance.
Mayuravarma is the earliest known native ruler to rule over areas which now form Karnataka. Before the rise of the Kadambas, the centers of power ruling the land were outside of the Karnataka region. But with the Kadambas' ascent to power, Kannada language and culture was brought into the mainstream and attained the status of majority, due to which Mayuravarma's | 6,123,721 |
7541099 | Mayura (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayura%20(film) | Mayura (film)
t into the mainstream and attained the status of majority, due to which Mayuravarma's reign, and his depiction in the film, is regarded with pride by present-day Kannadigas.
# Soundtrack.
The soundtrack of "Mayura" consists of three tracks, all composed by G. K. Venkatesh, with its lyrics written by Chi. Udayashankar and sung by P. B. Sreenivas, Rajkumar and S. Janaki.

Philoces was Philip V of Macedon's prefect and commander on the island of Euboea. In 200 BC he was ordered by Philip to ravage Attica with 2,000 infantry and 200 cavalry. According to Polybius the ravaging that Philoces gave Attica was the worst since the Persian War. In 197 BC he tried to relieve the city of Eretria but he was driven off by the Roman army besieging the city. He was then put in charge of a group of 1,500 who went to Achaea and relieved Corinth and had Argos surrendered to them.

Alexandre de Laborde
Comte Louis-Joseph-Alexandre de Laborde (17 September 1773 – 20 October 1842) was a French antiquary, liberal politician and writer, a member of the Académie des Sciences morales et politiques (1832), under the rubric political economy.
# Biography.
## Early years.
Born in Paris, Laborde was the fourth son of the famous banker of Spanish extraction, Jean-Joseph de Laborde, who was guillotined during the Reign of Terror. Young Laborde had been dispatched to Vienna by his father at the outbreak of the French Revolution; there he joined the Austrian army, in which he was named an officer, 10 December 1789, at the age of seventeen, by personal intervention of the Emperor | 6,123,725 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
Joseph II. At first stationed at Olmuz (Moravia), he was named captain in a regiment of light cavalry in October 1791, and saw action against the Revolutionary French forces the following year along the frontiers of the Austrian Netherlands and Luxembourg, where he distinguished himself by his generosity towards his compatriots who had been taken prisoner or wounded. In 1795 he took a long leave, first to join his widowed mother and sister in Switzerland, then, to see his brother in London. He reentered the Austrian army among Kinsky's hussars, and reached the rank of squadron leader.
Then he travelled through Germany, Holland and Italy before he was able to arrange to be de-listed from among | 6,123,726 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
the proscribed emigrés at the peace of Campoformio (1797), which enabled him to return to France. Under Talleyrand, who took him under his protection, he entered the French foreign office of the counter-revolution that the Consulat represented.
## Napoleonic career.
In 1800 he was an attaché of Lucien Bonaparte's embassy in Madrid that concluded with the Treaty of Aranjuez in March 1801 and returned with him. At Méréville Lucien met Laborde's beautiful mistress Alexandrine Jacob de Bleschamp, fell completely in love with her and married her in June 1803, occasioning a long-lasting chill in Laborde's relations with Napoleon, whose dynastic aspirations did not include the daughter of an "agent | 6,123,727 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
de change" for sister-in-law and who suspected Laborde of complicity in the liaison. Laborde took advantage of some enforced leisure to assemble a team of artists and writers— among whom his friend Chateaubriand— to see through the press two massive works on Spain, the "Itinéraire descriptif de l'Espagne" (1809, five volumes and an atlas) and the "Voyage pittoresque et historique en Espagne" (1807–1818, four volumes in-folio); the "Voyage pittoresque", realised with care and containing some nine hundred engravings, proved a serious drain on his finances. It appeared just at the moment the Peninsular Campaigns of 1808 interfered with markets; pressed with obligations to his family, whom he supported | 6,123,728 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
in considerable style, he decided to re-enter the Napoleonic administration and was appointed that year auditeur to the Conseil d'État, at that time a form of initial training for the upper levels of the Empire's bureaucracy scarcely suited to Laborde's prominence and expertise, but the emperor took him as a knowledgeable aide in Madrid, made his wife a "dame d'honneur" to Empress Joséphine, and then, satisfied with Laborde's role, made him a chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 1809 and created him a "comte de l'Empire" on 9 January 1810.
Soon Laborde's Austrian experience and his perfect command of German suited him for a place as secretary of the delegation under Marshal Berthier to ask | 6,123,729 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
for the hand of the archduchess Marie Louise, charting a delicate course between the reservations of the Austrian clergy as to the legitimacy of Napoleon's divorce and the French reservations about the great-niece of Marie Antoinette. He received in recompense from the Habsburg side two snuff-boxes garnished with diamonds and the cross of the Order of Saint Stephen and took some leisure to make a long tour of Habsburg lands that formed materials for his "Voyage pittoresque en Autriche", not published until 1821.
On his return to France, as Maître des requêtes he was put in charge of the commission to settle the accounts of the Grande Armée then placed at the head of the service of bridges and | 6,123,730 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
highways of the département de la Seine (1812), in which capacity he made a number of progressive suggestions for practical improvements— public baths, stone sidewalks, fire stations— that came to fruition later.
Laborde conceived the project of compiling a complete inventory of the archaeological heritage of France and obtained from the Minister of the Interior, the comte de Montalivet, permission to circulate a request for collaboration among the prefects of départements: the initiative was fruitless in the face of official apathy, both during the Empire and under the Restoration, but it served as a precedent for the appointment in 1834 of Prosper Mérimée as inspector-general of historical | 6,123,731 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
monuments.
Laborde was called to the Institut de France on 29 January 1813, being made an officer of the Légion d'honneur the same year. His luxurious publication seriously undermined his finances, but he remained a figure of high society of the Empire, an intimate of Queen Hortense and perhaps the ghostwriter of romances that appeared under her name, such as "Le Bon Chevalier", "En soupirant j'ai vu naître l'aurore", or "Partant pour la Syrie", an all but official hymn under the Second Empire.
He was the mayor of Méréville from 1805 to 1814.
## The Restoration and Louis-Philippe.
As adjutant-major of the garde nationale in 1814, in command of the Tuileries, he had the mission of reaching | 6,123,732 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
the Russian encampment, the night of 31 March 1814, to arrange the surrender of the Garde Nationale. During the Hundred Days he did not rally to Napoleon but passed the time in England. Louis XVIII appointed him colonel d'état-major and chevalier of the Order of Saint-Louis. At this time he reassumed the title of Marquis de Laborde carried by his eldest son and his descendants.
He was named to the "Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres" 21 March 1816, in the reorganization of the Institut de France. From 1818 to 1824, he served in the National Assembly, where he opposed the reinstallation of Ferdinand VII to the throne of Spain at the time of Trocadero (1823), with the eventual result | 6,123,733 |
7541055 | Alexandre de Laborde | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandre%20de%20Laborde | Alexandre de Laborde
that he found the leisure for a four-year tour of Italy, Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Egypt in the company of his son Léon de Laborde. He served as Député and as Préfet of the Seine (1830), and as a supporter of Louis-Philippe in the Revolution of 1830 as a general Garde nationale and aide-de-camp of the king, who sent him to Spain as ambassador.
From 1831 to 1837 he served as Deputy for the Seine, in 1837 as Deputy for Seine-et-Oise. He died at Paris in 1842.

Andy Fantuz
Andrew Fantuz, (born December 18, 1983) is a former professional Canadian football wide receiver. Fantuz spent the majority of his professional career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played for the Riders for six seasons after he was drafted by them in the first round of the 2006 CFL Draft. He then played five seasons for the Tiger-Cats.

Andy Fantuz attended the University of Western Ontario from 2002 to 2005, where he established himself as one of the best receivers in Canadian Interuniversity Sport history. Fantuz was awarded the CIS Rookie of the year award in 2002 with 1300 receiving yards (a single season record) and nine touchdowns. Fantuz won the Hec Crighton Trophy as the top player in the CIS in 2005, finishing with 44 catches for 825 yards to become only the fifth receiver to win the award and first since Calgary's Don Blair in 1995. He finished his university career as the OUA and CIS leader with 189 receptions for 4,123 yards and 41 touchdown receptions. | 6,123,739 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
He was a four-time CIS all-Canadian and four-time OUA all-star while being named to the first team all-Canadian in 2002, 2004, and 2005. On January 21, 2006, Fantuz represented Eastern Canada in the East-West Shrine Game which showcases the best college talent in the United States and with invitees from Canada.
# Professional career.
## Saskatchewan Roughriders.
While many thought that he could go first overall in the 2006 CFL Draft, Andy Fantuz was chosen in the first round and third overall by the Saskatchewan Roughriders. After the draft, Fantuz tried out for the Detroit Lions in May 2006, but was not offered a contract and, as such, signed a one-year plus an option contract with Saskatchewan | 6,123,740 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
on May 20, 2006. Because he had signed the contract late, he missed a beginning portion of the 2006 training camp.
Fantuz was integrated slowly into the Roughriders offence in 2006, and caught his first pass against Toronto on July 22, 2006. He made his first start against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in week 10 and started the last nine games of the season as well as two playoff games. He scored his first touchdown in a bizarre play against the BC Lions on September 24, 2006. Quarterback Kerry Joseph was rushing towards the endzone deep in BC territory when he was tackled from behind and fumbled the ball forward. Fantuz promptly jumped on the ball in the endzone, culminating in his first CFL touchdown, | 6,123,741 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
which counted as a rushing touchdown by CFL rules. Incidentally, the same game would go into overtime, with Fantuz catching his first touchdown reception and winning the game for the Roughriders, meaning that he got his first rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game. He had his first 100-yard receiving game in week 20 against the Edmonton Eskimos. Fantuz finished the season with 30 catches for 408 yards, 3 receiving touchdowns, and 1 rushing touchdown. On November 30, 2006, Fantuz agreed to a two-year plus an option contract.
The 2007 season was presumably a promising one for Fantuz as the media and coaching staff alike were expecting big things from the sophomore receiver. However, | 6,123,742 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
the sophomore slump took its toll on Fantuz as numerous dropped balls at critical junctures led to his demotion from the starting line-up in week 5 by head coach Kent Austin. After catching just 17 balls for 201 yards through the first eight games, Fantuz had a turnaround game against Winnipeg with four reception for 96 yards. He continued his strong play with a 7 catch – 142 yard performance against the Montreal Alouettes, filling in for Matt Dominguez who was injured in the Banjo Bowl. On October 14, 2007, he had a blowout game with seven catches for 240 receiving yards and three touchdowns against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. It was the third best receiving yardage game in team history and tied | 6,123,743 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
for the best touchdown performance by a Roughrider in a single game. As a result, he was named the Canadian Player of the Month for September. Fantuz finished the season just short of 1,000 yards with 978 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He was the Roughriders' nomination for Most Outstanding Canadian. In three playoff games, Fantuz had 16 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns, including four catches for 70 yards and one touchdown in the 95th Grey Cup. Because of his performance in the Grey Cup game, he was named the Grey Cup's Most Valuable Canadian after the Roughriders won their third championship.
In 2008, Andy Fantuz had an excellent start to the season with 24 catches for 328 | 6,123,744 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
yards and was on pace for his first 1000-yard season. However, in a game against Toronto, Fantuz suffered a broken fibula, the smaller, non-weight bearing bone in his left leg while being tackled in the fourth quarter of the July 27, 2008, 28–22 victory. He was placed on the nine-game injured list and did not return until week 18 versus the Edmonton Eskimos. In total, he played seven games and finished the regular season with 36 catches for 488 yards and three touchdowns. He also attempted one deep pass to Weston Dressler but was intercepted in a game versus Hamilton. Despite playing in only seven games, he led the offence with six defensive tackles. He had two catches for 39 yards in the Roughriders' | 6,123,745 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
West-Semi Final loss to the BC Lions.
Once again, Fantuz had a good start to the season, on pace for just under 1000 receiving yards, with 219 yards and one touchdown, but was injured in the week four match-up with the Edmonton Eskimos. He returned for the Banjo Bowl against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and caught two passes for 64 yards and a touchdown, which was thrown by fellow receiver, Jason Armstead, on a gadget play. He had an outstanding outing in the overtime game against the Calgary Stampeders, contributing 10 catches for a season-high 149 yards and a game-tying touchdown. He had another dominant game against the Stampeders in the final game of the season with 12 catches for 123 yards, | 6,123,746 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
which was the highest reception total by a Roughrider since Curtis Marsh had 13 in 2001. Fantuz finished the season with a career-high 67 receptions for 882 yards and three touchdowns and was tied with Chris Getzlaf for the team lead in two-point conversions with two. In the 2009 West Final, he had a game-high five receptions for 89 yards and one touchdown, which was part of the 27–17 win over the Stampeders that featured all Roughrider scoring by Canadian players. In the 2009 Grey Cup, Fantuz had a team-high five catches for 67 yards and a touchdown, which wound up being a 28–27 loss to the Montreal Alouettes.
On October 15, 2009, Fantuz stated that he had verbally agreed to a two-year contract | 6,123,747 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
extension with the Roughriders, but would examine his NFL options before February 15, 2009. If he does not sign with an NFL team by then, he will sign a one-year plus an option contract with the Roughriders. On February 12, 2010, it was officially announced that Fantuz had re-signed with the Roughriders.
## Chicago Bears.
On February 4, 2011, Fantuz signed a future contract with the Chicago Bears for the 2011 NFL season. He was waived on September 2. In two preseason games with the Bears, Fantuz recorded two receptions for 19 yards.
## Saskatchewan Roughriders (II).
On September 7, 2011 Fantuz rejoined the Saskatchewan Roughriders and played his first game of the season on September 11 making | 6,123,748 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
2 catches for 47 yards. As a result of his time with the Chicago Bears (missing half the CFL season) and a lingering ankle injury Fantuz would finish the season with only 175 yards receiving on 13 catches having only played in 4 games.
## Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
On February 17, 2012, Fantuz signed a four-year contract with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. In his first season in with the Tiger-Cats Fantuz played in 17 of the 18 regular season games and amassed 971 receiving yards and a career-high 8 touchdowns. Fantuz missed a significant portion of the 2015 season with an injury. Fantuz set a personal best for most receptions in a season when he caught 101 in 17 games during the 2016 CFL season. He would | 6,123,749 |
7541010 | Andy Fantuz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy%20Fantuz | Andy Fantuz
miss the final game of the season after being diagnosed with a torn ACL. After recovering from his injury Fantuz would only play in three games for the Ti-Cats in 2017, catching six passes for 55 yards. Fantuz announced his retirement from professional football on July 19, 2018.

1. FC Union Berlin
1. FC Union Berlin () is a professional German association football club based in Köpenick, Berlin. The club emerged under the current name in 1966 but can be traced back to 1906, when predecessor FC Olympia Oberschöneweide was founded. From 2009 to 2019, they competed in the 2. Bundesliga, the second tier of German football. In 2019, after defeating VfB Stuttgart in the relegation play-offs, Union won promotion to the Bundesliga top flight for the first time in the club's history, for the 2019–20 season.
During the Cold War era, Union was based in the East Berlin sector of the city, joining the common German league structure upon the reunification of the city and the country | 6,123,752 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
in 1990.
The home ground Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Stadium by the Old Forester's House) is the largest single-purpose football stadium in the German capital. It has been home to Union Berlin and its forerunners since it was opened in 1920. The stadium became internationally famous for concerts and events like the annual Weihnachtssingen (Christmas Carols Event) and the WM-Wohnzimmer (World Cup Living Room) in 2014.
The club is well known for its enthusiastic and creative fan base and for its chant "Eisern Union" (Iron Union).
# History.
## First foundation (1906–1945).
The name 1. FC Union Berlin was used by two football clubs that shared a common origin as "FC Olympia 06 Oberschöneweide", | 6,123,753 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
founded in 1906 in the Oberschöneweide district of Berlin. The side took on the name SC Union 06 Oberschöneweide in 1910. Union was one of Berlin's premier clubs in the interwar period, regularly winning local championships and competing at the national level, including an appearance in the 1923 German championship final which they lost 0–3 to Hamburger SV.
Early on the team was nicknamed "Schlosserjungs" (English: metalworker-boys), because of their then all blue kit, reminiscent of the typical work clothing worn in the factories of the industrial Oberschöneweide district. The popular cry of Union-supporters – "Eisern Union!" (Iron Union) – also emerged at this time. Since its foundation the | 6,123,754 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
club had a clearly working-class image in contrast to other local clubs with middle-class origins, such as Viktoria 89 Berlin, Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin, BSV 92 Berlin or Tennis Borussia Berlin.
In 1933, German football was reorganized under the Third Reich into 16 top flight divisions known as Gauligen. Oberschöneweide'became part of the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg where they generally earned middling results. They were relegated in 1935 and returned to first division play in 1936 after only one season's absence. In 1940, the team finished first in Group B of the division and then defeated Blau-Weiss (1–2, 3–0) to win the overall division title. That advanced the club to the national playoffs where | 6,123,755 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
they were put out by Rapid Wien in the opening group round (2–3, 1–3). Union resumed its place as an unremarkable side. They were relegated again in 1942 and played the final war-shortened Gauliga season in 1944–45.
## Dissolution and split up (1945–1961).
After World War II, occupying Allied authorities ordered the dissolution of all organizations in Germany, including sports and football associations. A new Municipal Sports Group called SG Oberschöneweide was formed in late 1945 and it played in the City League organized immediately after the war which had four regional departments. The team did not qualify to the newly created Oberliga Berlin (I) in 1946 after a poor season, but was promoted | 6,123,756 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
in 1947, won the division title right away and regained club status as SG Union 06 Oberschöneweide during 1948–49.
The club finished the 1949–50 season in second place in Berlin and qualified to take part in the national final rounds. However, escalating Cold War tensions led Soviet authorities to refuse the team permission to travel to take part. Two Union teams then emerged as most players and coaches fled to the west to form Sport-Club Union 06 Berlin which took part in the scheduled playoff match in Kiel against Hamburger SV, losing 0–7.
The players remaining in the east carried on as Union Oberschöneweide while a number of players who had fled to the west to form SC organized a third | 6,123,757 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
side called Berliner Ballspiel-Club Südost. The western team was a strong side until the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, drawing huge crowds to matches in the Olympiastadion. The division of the city led to a change of fortunes for the club which plays today in the lower divisions before meager crowds.
## Restart as Union Berlin (1961–1990).
The eastern branch of the club went through a number of name changes: Union Oberschöneweide (1950), BSG Motor Oberschöneweide (1951), SC Motor Berlin (1955), TSC Oberschöneweide (1957), TSC Berlin (1963) – finally becoming the football club 1. FC Union Berlin in 1966. They developed a bitter rivalry with Stasi-sponsored Dynamo Berlin. While their | 6,123,758 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
arch rivals won 10 titles in a row in highly dubious circumstances, Union yo-yoed between the Oberliga and the DDR-Liga with very little success, largely due to the East German's government policy of favouring 'elite' clubs at the expense of 'civilian' clubs like Union. Union managed to win the East German Cup in 1968 when they defeated FC Carl Zeiss Jena 2–1 although they lost in their second cup appearance in 1986 to 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig by a score of 1–5.
## 2. Bundesliga era (1990–2019).
After German reunification in 1990, the team continued to perform well on the field, but almost collapsed financially. They managed to hang on through some tight times and find sponsorship, but only | 6,123,759 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
after winning their division in both 1993 and 1994 and each time being denied a license to play in the 2. Bundesliga due to their financial problems. The club had another close brush with financial failure in 1997.
Union again came close to advancing to 2. Bundesliga in 1998–99 and 1999–2000, but were disappointed. They were finally successful in 2000–01, under Bulgarian manager Georgi Vasilev, easily winning the Regionalliga Nord (III) and moving up a division to become the city's second most popular side. That same year they appeared in the final of the German Cup where they lost 0–2 to FC Schalke 04, and advanced as far as the second round in UEFA Cup before being put out by Bulgarian side | 6,123,760 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
PFC Litex Lovech. The club slipped to the Regionalliga Nord (III) in 2004–05 and then to the NOFV-Oberliga Nord (IV) in 2005–06, but has returned to third division play after capturing the Oberliga title. In 2008–09, Union became one of the founding clubs of the new 3. Liga, and its inaugural champion, securing first place and promotion to the 2. Bundesliga on 10 May. They remained in the 2nd-tier until the 2018–19 season, when they secured their first ever promotion into the Bundesliga after defeating VfB Stuttgart in the play-offs. The fans invaded the pitch, but no one was harmed.
## Bundesliga era (2019–present).
Union Berlin became the first Bundesliga club from the former East Berlin | 6,123,761 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
and the fifth from the former East Germany, after Dynamo Dresden, Hansa Rostock, VfB Leipzig and Energie Cottbus. The team is the sixth to win promotion from the 2. Bundesliga by beating the 16th-placed Bundesliga team in the playoff – since it began in the 1981–82 season, the others being Bayer Uerdingen, 1. FC Saarbrücken, Stuttgarter Kickers, 1. FC Nürnberg and Fortuna Düsseldorf. In order to be competitive Union Berlin contracted many former Bundesliga stars, namely Neven Subotic, Manuel Schmiedebach, Christian Gentner and Marvin Friedrich.
# Stadium.
In 1920 SC Union Oberschöneweide (forerunner of today's 1. FC Union Berlin) had to find a new home ground as its former pitch had been built | 6,123,762 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
over by developers with residential buildings. The club moved a little further away from the city to the north-western part of the borough of Köpenick. The new stadium was officially opened in August 1920 with a match between Oberschöneweide and the then German champions 1. FC Nürnberg (1–2). The inaugural match in at the Alte Försterei had already been played on 17 March, when Union challenged Viktoria 89 Berlin.
When Union won promotion to the DDR-Oberliga (the top flight in East Germany) in 1966, the stadium soon needed to be expanded. The ground was first expanded in 1970 when the Gegengerade terrace was raised, whilst further extensions to the terracing at both ends in the late 1970s and | 6,123,763 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
early 1980s increased the capacity furthermore to 22,500. However, the somewhat spartan facilities at Alte Försterei had quickly begun to show their age and went into a serious decline.
After German reunification, when Union were assigned by the German Football Association to play in the third league, the outdated stadium proved only one of a number of factors that hampered the club's push for promotion to higher leagues.
In the middle of 2008, the club decided to finally modernise the stadium, the Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Old Forester's House). Money was still tight, and so the fans simply built the ground themselves. More than 2,000 Union supporters invested 140,000 working hours | 6,123,764 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
to create what is now regarded as the largest football-specific stadium in Berlin. Inside the stadium an array of outside beer kiosks and open air grills serving bratwurst and pork steaks at the back of the stand provide the culinary staples. The official opening on 12 July 2013, was celebrated with a friendly against Scottish Champions Celtic. It holds 22,012 people with 3,617 seats. The rest is terracing.
## World Cup living room.
In 2014, the club came up with the idea of inviting fans to take their own sofas to the ground for the whole of the World Cup. More than 800 sofas were placed on the pitch in rows in front of the big screen. The event was later recognized with the Fan Experience | 6,123,765 |

reserve team, "1. FC Union Berlin II", most recently played in the tier four Regionalliga Nordost, having won promotion to the league in 2012. Previous to this it spent two seasons in the NOFV-Oberliga Nord. At the end of the 2014–15 season the club withdrew the team from competition.
# Club culture.
1. FC Union Berlin is recognized as one of Europe's "cult" clubs, based on many unique fan and club initiatives over the last two decades.
The nicknames of the club are "Eiserne" (the Iron Ones) or "Eisern Union" (Iron Union), both of which are used to refer to the club from Berlin. Their nicknames evolved from the earlier sobriquet Schlosserjungs (metalworker boys), which was in reference to | 6,123,768 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
the blue kit the Union played in, as it was reminiscent of the overalls worn by local workers.
In former GDR times, Union was known for a rivalry with Dynamo Berlin who was affiliated with East Germany's Secret Service Stasi. Union was patronized by Eastern German Trade Union FDGB. The club played some identificatory role in the unofficial opposition against the authorities of the communist system.
In May 2004, the supporters raised enough money to secure the club's license for fourth-division football through a campaign called 'Bleed for Union'. This catchphrase was not meant metaphorically. One element of the campaign was that fans donated blood to Berlin hospitals and then gave the money | 6,123,769 |
7540861 | 1. FC Union Berlin | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1.%20FC%20Union%20Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin
they received from the blood bank to their club.
After 2010, Union Berlin became increasingly attractive for new Berliners, even internationals, who were drawn to the atmosphere at the club.
## Songs.
The official Union Berlin song is "Eisern Union" by German punk singer Nina Hagen. The composition was recorded in 1998. Four versions were issued on a CD single by G.I.B Music and Distribution GmbH.
The famous supporters' chant 'Eisern Union' (Iron Union) bounces back and forth between the terraces named "Waldseite" and the "Gegengerade", and is followed by mutual acknowledging applause.
## Christmas tradition.
Union Berlin is also well known for its Christmas traditions celebrated in their | 6,123,770 |

home stadium. In 2003 the yearly Union Weihnachtssingen started as an unofficial gathering to which just 89 fans showed up. In 2013, 27,500 people attended, including players and supporters of other teams from around Germany and Europe. Fans drink Glühwein (mulled wine), wave candles around, light flares and sing a combination of Christmas carols and football chants.
## Mascot.
"Ritter Keule" (Literally: Cudgel the Knight) is the mascot of Union Berlin. He was first introduced in 2000.

Matchless Silver Hawk
Matchless Silver Hawk is a Bert Collier designed motorcycle produced by Matchless for 1931 and introduced at the 1930 Motorcycle Show at Olympia, London as their range-leading luxury model. It was one of two up-market four-cylinder machines introduced during the 1930 Show season from two manufacturers; the Silver Hawk whose production would last less than four years and the Ariel Square Four, whose production lasted until 1959. Other British manufacturers produced 4-cylinder machines in small quantities in the 1930s, including Brough Superior's Austin-engined BS4 (11 built 1932-34) and the prototype Golden Dream (2 built in 1938).

design was a development of the Silver Arrow and shared a similar frame design and cycle parts, as well as the monoblock 26 degree V with a one-piece OHC head concept. The single bevel-gear overhead camshaft ran across the cylinder head and four bores with special air cooling housed two pairs of cylinders at 26 degrees to each other. A single carburettor fed all four induction valves through a cross shaped induction that produced an uneven feed. Coil and dynamo ignition was driven by skew gearing from the camshaft-drive vertical shaft. A dry-sump oil system was supplied from a steel tank at the base of the front-down tube, bolted to the engine's crankcase. The engine was flexible, however, and | 6,123,774 |
7541164 | Matchless Silver Hawk | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matchless%20Silver%20Hawk | Matchless Silver Hawk
could be started by hand and run in top gear most of the time. This was an important factor for the hand operated gear change.
In the sales literature Matchless described the Silver Hawk as "unquestionably the most fascinating machine to ride that has ever been built. It combines the silence, smoothness and comfort of the most expensive motor car with a super-sports performance. On top gear alone the machine will run from as low as 6 miles per hour to over 80 miles per hour, while the acceleration given by the four-cylinder overhead camshaft engine in conjunction with the four-speed gearbox must be experienced to be believed."
The main competition for the Matchless Silver Hawk in the top end | 6,123,775 |

The main competition for the Matchless Silver Hawk in the top end 4-cylinder British luxury motorcycle market at the time was the Ariel Square Four, which was £5 cheaper, but 100cc smaller (in 1931). Manufacture of the Silver Hawk was expensive and sales were slow - the Hawk was discontinued in 1935. | 6,123,776 |

Sailboat design and manufacturing
This article attempts to give an overview of the design and manufacturing of sailboats and the evolution of this industry. Details should be found and contributed through linked articles.
# Early sailing vessels.
Egyptian, Phoenician, Greek, and Roman cultures along with prior cultures and their contemporaries used sails as propulsion for commercial and military vessels. However, pleasure craft evolved along with practical craft. Even today some primitive vessels can outsail modern sailing yachts when running before the wind with their standard sails (no spinnakers etc.)
# The first yachts.
The term "yacht" is a 17th-century English extraction from the Dutch | 6,123,781 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
word "Jacht"; however, royalty and aristocracy enjoyed traveling on the water from time immemorial, with the earliest documentation being in the Egyptian heyday. There is no documentation that these beneficiaries of the enjoyment were participants in the efforts.
The roots of modern yachting come from British royalty, commencing with Charles II, when Kings and Princes commissioned relatively small pleasure craft in which they competed.
# Small commercial craft.
In the time when water-based industries were dominated by sailing-craft, speed was as crucial to success as it is today, perhaps even more so. Getting fish to market or delivering other perishable goods swiftly could make or break | 6,123,782 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
a venture. Having a swifter hull or a superior rig could be the strategic advantage that would provide financial success.
Competition between owners of small commercial craft was the driving force in developing upwind sailing technology. Larger craft were less concerned with maneuverability within harbors or in coastal regions where the geography of the land was an impediment to downwind sailing.
Many of the advances in yachting technology came from the fishing industry and local commercial packets. Even pirates contributed to the advances, because small, fast, and highly maneuverable vessels proved successful.
# The Golden Age of yachting.
The huge wealth accumulated by the commercial upper-class | 6,123,783 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
in the late 19th and early 20th century allowed commoners to enter the realm of yachting previously reserved for royalty and the peerage. Americans as well as Britons began to vie for international acclaim. The yacht America burst in on British egos and created a national rivalry, which has now grown to be the America’s Cup.
Wealthy industrialists such as the Vanderbilts and the Liptons vied with royalty to finance a boom in yachting technology. As the learning curve flattened, less illustrious names were able to finance successful yachts as advance seemed to come from more random successes in design – fine tuning.
World War I dampened the growth in yachting, but the 1920s once again brought | 6,123,784 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
a heyday of activity and advancement. The production manufacturing capacity and technology created during the war years catapulted the developments in yachting. However the crash of the international economy at the close of the decade as quickly dampened the demand for large exotic yachts. In order to survive designers and producers had to diversify their efforts and offerings. Once again small commercial craft became the test-beds for technology and the bread-and-butter for the builders in the 1930s. One of the great design teams from this period, Sparkman & Stephens is still influential today.
World War II terminated most direct production of yachts, but the tremendous need for increasingly | 6,123,785 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
diverse small naval craft stimulated research and development and increased production capacity for the boating industry. Louisiana based Higgins came up with innovative landing craft, and along with Elco, manufactured the majority of PT Boats. Sparkman & Stephens designed the DUKW an amphibious version of the conventional six-wheel-drive Army truck. Of course the military had little need of sailboats.
# Fiberglass and yachts for the common man.
The late 1940s, following World War II, were a time of economic retrenchment, but as the US and international economies boomed in the 1950s the pent-up technology within the boating industry exploded with innovation and production. World War II was | 6,123,786 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
the catalyst for development of compact engine systems, mass production of plywood water craft, and advances in hydrodynamic design. Another outgrowth of war production was fiberglass; the first fiberglass boats were made in the 1930s but practical production did not begin until the 1950s and then more as a supplement to wood and plywood than as a structural component.
While the 1950s was a test bed for early fiberglass techniques, the early sixties was when the benefits became directly available to the average sailor, as the fiberglass industry began to mature from one-up to assembly lines and standardization. There was an explosion of entrepreneurial expression in the first half of the sixties, | 6,123,787 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
which leapfrogged year after year. Each season brought more options and larger boats to the common man, almost analogous to the rapid expansion of the personal computer in the 1990s. Soon a middle-class family could add a 30-foot sailboat to their Plymouth and hamburger budget.
Some of the prevalent brands in the 1960s were Cal, Coronado, Columbia, C&C, Morgan and Pearson; most of these were outgrowths of entrepreneurial venture. But even large companies such as AMF and Chrysler were making boats. Today's big manufacturers are led by people with their roots in 1960s venture.
However, by the late 1960s there was market saturation and entrepreneurs sold into conglomerates or otherwise merged | 6,123,788 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
their efforts. The mid-1970s saw an increase in interest in sailing as oil prices began to climb following the 1973 Oil Embargo; however, with petroleum as a major component for plastic resins manufacturing costs also increased. In early designs the solution to engineering problems was frequently: just add more fiberglass. The early boats were sturdy but heavy. Many of the vessels produced during this time frame are afloat today, and several models still enjoy solid sales demand and exhibit excellent sailing characteristics; the Islander 36 is an excellent example of a boat from this era.
With the increase in materials costs, engineering to a finer standard became critical for financial success. | 6,123,789 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
This was a double edged sword as boats became lighter, but in some cases they became weaker. Also some manufacturers turned to less expensive plastics and a form of hull decomposition known as blistering became prevalent.
The economic downturn of the early 1980s reduced demand for sailboats, while manufacturers increasingly competed with the used boat market. Since fiberglass doesn't rot or rust, twenty years of high production had left a huge inventory of boats, and in many areas the number of boats exceeded the marina space to house them.
The boats of the 1960s and 1970s were substantially extensions of classic hull designs which evolved in wood and were influenced by the early rules of | 6,123,790 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
racing. There was an emphasis on shorter waterlines at rest that would expand dramatically when the boat heeled (leaned) -- this had to do with the rules of racing, where the boat's handicap was not based on actual performance, but on design attributes.
Modifications of racing rules and changes in consumer demand have influenced recent boat designs. There is also a polarization, where racing boats are more distinct from cruising boats.
Current racing rules for the common sailor are known as PHRF (Performance Handicapped Racing Fleet) rules. The philosophy is to have a dynamic system of handicapping which looks to the performance of a boat model over time, but allows for adjustment to an individual | 6,123,791 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
boat based on options and/or modifications. What we consider long lean classic proportions of the boats of the early 1900s were at the time design exercises to manipulate the racing rules. Now our current boats tend to seek optimum performance as the prime criterion.
Boats tend to fall into the categories of (1) racer, (2) racer-cruiser, (3) cruiser-racer, and (4) cruiser; however, there is much subjectivity in the definitions and classifications. Cruising is sailing for the enjoyment of sailing and to reach destinations. Frequently cruisers spend much more time enjoying the amenities of their boats than the sailing aspects, so creature comfort is important. A large pure cruising boat would | 6,123,792 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
be likely to have solar panels, wind generated electricity, multiple heads (bathrooms), a complete galley (kitchen), comfortable cabins and even laundry facilities. Many cruiser designs are cutter rigged meaning they carry two headsails, and many have a second mast (mizzen), in the yawl or ketch configuration. Having more sails allows for having smaller individual sails; on a pure cruiser the boats do not change directions frequently, so manipulating multiple sails is not a factor.
Virtually all racing boats today are sloop rigged, which means that they carry one headsail and a mainsail, both from the same mast. Two very large sails mean more work to hoist and handle, but when changing direction, | 6,123,793 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
there is less work to be done and it can be done faster; however, sometimes with great effort using massive winch systems. The interiors of serious race boats are often stripped bare with the head being a bucket.
Most cruising boats are produced in large factories; most racing boats are produced in smaller lots by specialty shops or under contract with larger producers. Frequently the name of a race boat is that of the designer not the producer; in some cases multiple manufacturers have produced the same design either at the same or different times.
The majority of market share for production cruising boats is divided among Beneteau, Catalina Yachts, and Hunter Marine. Beneteau has a bit more | 6,123,794 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
emphasis on speed; Hunter focuses more on amenities; and Catalina falls in between. Catalina tends to have long running models of boats which evolve over time, but this allows for the development of "one design" fleets, where Beneteau and Hunter tend to change their designs frequently addressing the demands of the market. Both strategies have been successful for the staying power of these three brands.
There is also a strong demand for more specialized cruising boats with a wide range of producers. These boats offer features such as center cockpit, deck salon, pilot-house, cutter rigs, mizzen masts etc. The cabin detail and systems in Beneteau, Catalina and Hunter boats is comfortable but basic; | 6,123,795 |
7541155 | Sailboat design and manufacturing | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sailboat%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Sailboat design and manufacturing
more expensive boats offer a wide range of quality in the wood work, cabinetry, upholstery, and systems. There are also structural improvements beneath the surface and qualitative benefits in systems as the cost of the boat increases. A top-of-the-line cruiser could cost three times the price of a Beneteau, Catalina, or Morgan. The price may not be justified for bay cruising, but heavier shrouds, a thicker mast, and a stiffer hull could be priceless in a force 8 gale.

North America and supports international defense and peacekeeping commitments.
# History.
The Squadron was activated at the air defence radar station at St. Margarets, New Brunswick, Canada, in 1953 with the signing of the Pinetree Agreement.
In 1963 it became part of the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment system, the North American Air Defence Command's (NORAD's) computerized defence network, and became North Bay's Alternate Command Post and Automated Back-up Interceptor Control Unit, taking over in the event that North Bay—center for (then) the air defence of north, east-central and Atlantic Canada—was destroyed or otherwise put out of action.
In 1988 the unit was disbanded and reformed | 6,123,799 |
