词条 | Unassisted sailing |
释义 |
Unassisted sailing is a form of sailing, usually single-handed, where sailors are not given any physical assistance during the entire course of the voyage. Sailors may not call at a port, dock with other ships at sea, or be passed any physical objects from a passing ship or aircraft prior to reaching the end destination of their voyage. DefinitionUnassisted sailing definition and rules are widely recognised as those set by the World Sailing Speed Record Council rule 21e.[1] Essentially this and the related 21h and 21i rules require that during the voyage:
The exceptions allowed by 21h and 21i are:
In practiceIn practice such sailors can receive financial[2] and electronic[3] assistance, especially when sponsored to attempt records, which reduces the burden of lack of physical assistance significantly. The Sydney Morning Herald said in this context: {{quote|"...(and without wanting to detract from her incredible achievement), it is fair to say Watson was by no means solo or unassisted in her voyage around the world; a team of advisors and experts meticulously guided her through that process."|Nina Funnell, Sydney Morning Herald[4]}} Vendée GlobeThe Vendée Globe is a race, solo around the world non-stop from France. It has its own more strict rules.[5] The participants can be given generally available weather forecasts, but not individual advice about weather or routing. All kinds of repair advice over radio is allowed, for the reason it is a sail competition, not a repair competition. Medical advice is also allowed, with some limitation. Danger reduced by EPIRBsThe dangers of unassisted sailing have been reduced in recent years by the widespread use of EPIRBs that allow the sailor to summon help even when far from land. One such case occurred in January 1997 when Tony Bullimore was rescued by the Australian Navy after 5 days under a capsized yacht far from the Australian mainland.[6][7] A few decades earlier this situation would have had a high probability of resulting in his death. EPIRBs greatly increase the chance that the sailor will be found. They have been credited by sailors as being "vital for sailing boats" and "without question" have saved lives.[8] Respect accorded unassisted sailorsPeople such as Kay Cottee[9] who complete long unassisted voyages are commonly accorded a considerable amount of respect, because the sailor still faces for a long period the prospect of death at sea. This respect usually extends to single-handed sailors such as Francis Chichester and Joshua Slocum who completed round-the-world voyages with far less assistance and considerably more risk than today's record holders, but which are regarded under current rules as "assisted" because of port stops during the voyage. Jessica Watson became the youngest person, at age 16, to sail unassisted around the world on the 22nd of May 2010.{{Cn|date = May 2013}} References1. ^{{cite web|last= |first= |authorlink= | date= | url=http://www.sailspeedrecords.com/index.php/the-courses-offshore |title=ISAF/World Sailing Speed Record Rules for individually attempted Passage Records or Performances Offshore)|work=WSSRC Rules |pages= |publisher=World Sailing Speed Record Council| doi= |accessdate=2014-03-20}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Unassisted Sailing}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.jessicawatson.com.au/sponsors|title=Jessica Watson Sponsors|publisher=Jessica Watson|accessdate=2010-05-02}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.yachtingmagazine.com/article.jsp?ID=21014408|title=The radar revolution|publisher="Yachting Magazine"|accessdate=2010-05-02}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/its-elementary-about-watson-20100518-vbjf.html|title=It's elementary about Watson|publisher=Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=2010-05-19 | first=Nina | last=Funnell | date=2010-05-18}} 5. ^NOTICE OF RACE 2008 / 2009 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/tony-bullimore-setting-sail/story-e6frf7l6-1111113279498|title=Tony Bullimore setting sail|publisher=Herald Sun|accessdate=2010-05-02}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/sportsf/sstories/sf970627.htm|title=The Sports Factor|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation - Radio National|accessdate=2010-05-02}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sail-world.com/USA/Anatomy-of-a-Rescue---and-why-EPIRBs-are-vital-for-sailing-boats/63784|title=Anatomy of a Rescue - and why EPIRB's are vital for sailing boats|publisher=Sail-World.com|accessdate=2010-05-22}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.successfulspeakers.com.au/speaker/158/kay-cottee-ao|title=Kay Cottee, AO|publisher="Successful Speakers|accessdate=2010-05-02}} 1 : Sailing |
