  1. Sailing A Grade 12 level Course combining; Applied physics, Earth Sciences, and Physical Education/Health Psychology

  2. Introduction to Sailing Sailing is an Olympic Class sport that combines strategy, fitness and physics. There are thousands of classes of boat world wide, and millions of regattas held every year, with fleets of boat anywhere from three hundred to two.

  3. Physics in sailing -Force Applied on sails and mast to get desired rake, tension, and sail shape -Aerodynamic and hydrodynamic lift and flow on the foils (both above and below the water) to make the boat go forward -The characteristics of the foils in the respect of getting proper lift, and avoiding stall

  4. Magnitude and Velocity of Fluids in Sailing Optimal trade offs between -Power -Point -Drag -Drift

  5. Pulleys and Levers in sailing -The use of pulleys and levers to adjust the shape of my sail and mast -To strap my boat onto various trailers and dollys -To let me adjust the amount of weight I am using to counteract the wind velocity on the course when I am on the trapeze

  6. Applied Physics Learning Outcomes To become a competitive National-level racer, I need deeper understanding of these more technical aspects of sailing: -Boat trim -Current/Wind/Weather -Airflow -Boat Handling

  7. Earth Sciences in Sailing In wind -Geographical shifts -Knocks and Lifts -Oscillating Shift -Wind predictions through weather and clouds In water -Current -Tides -Favourable current -Ocean floor Geographics -Wave patterns

  8. Earth Science in Sailing: Learning Outcomes -Atmospheric studies -Weather Patterns -Wind Conditions -Waves -Currents -Land and Ocean floor Geography

  9. Physical Education/Health Psychology -Enough food to sustain top competition for hours -Food that can be eaten fast between races and can last for two hour long races -Fitness regime in order to be in a condition to work for hours on the water -What exercises on land connect to what I need to be doing in the boat

  10. Applied P.E. in Boat Handling Boat handling is crucial in sailing. This is P.E. at a deep level because it involves practicing a single maneuver over and over again until it becomes a second nature

  12. Specs of my boat The type of boat I sail is called a Club 420 It is one of the most widely used, under 19 boats in North America. The C420 Transitions into the International 420, which then transitions into the Olympic Class 470. It is a double handed boat with three sails.

  13. End Sailing is the application of components of Physics, Earth Sciences, Physical Education and Health Psychology, all courses offered at SDSS. Being able to do this IDS would be a great help on my campaign for the 2015 International 420 Worlds.
