Schooners have traditionally been gaff-rigged and in small craft are generally two-masted, however many have been built with Marconi rigs ( and even junk rigs ) rather than gaffs and in the golden age of sail, vessels were built with as many as seven masts.

Schooners typically have up to three jibs.

Schooners have been built with up to seven masts in all, with several six-masted examples.

Athletic teams from LCI carry the names Rams, Clippers, Colts, and Schooners, although the latter two have fallen into disuse.

Schooners were further developed in North America from the early 18th century, and were more widely used in the United States than in any other country.

Schooners were more popular than sloops prior to the upsurge in recreational boating.

Schooners were used to carry cargo in many different environments, from ocean voyages to coastal runs and on large inland bodies of water.

Schooners were used in North American fishing, especially the Grand Banks fishery.

He was also named Nova Scotia Senior Baseball League MVP in 1987 and ' 88 while playing for the Fredericton Schooners.

Schooners and lumber hookers provided most of the transportation needs in those early years up to about 1865.

Schooners could now navigate the channel much easier and the commerce started to flow into Pere Marquette as well as new families and lumbermen.

Lane and three Schooners.

The Atlantic Schooners were a conditional Canadian Football League ( CFL ) expansion team that was to begin play in 1984 out of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The Schooners proposed home was a 30, 000-seat stadium located on leased land in the city of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, said to be built at a cost of $ 6 million.

The Schooners were unable to meet the deadlines set by the league, including the deadline for a financing plan for the new stadium.

Nevertheless, a Schooners delegation took part in the festivities at the 2007 Grey Cup.

A ninth CFL team has been located in Ottawa, meaning were the Schooners to join the league they would become the tenth club.

50 yachts took part in the 2012 Regatta, catagories were Vintage ( built prior to 1949 ), Classic ( built between 1949-1975 ) and Spirit of Tradition ( built after 1975 ) as well as Aegean Schooners and Open Boats.

Few business groups in recent years have come under heavier pressure to face these realities than real estate brokers and home builders.

The observed properties are consistent with it being a heavier analog of iodine ; many other properties have been estimated based on this resemblance.

The steel-string acoustic guitar evolved from the nylon-or gut-string classical guitar, and because steel strings have higher tension, heavier construction is required overall.

Chemical experiments have confirmed bohrium's predicted position as a heavier homologue to rhenium with the formation of a stable + 7 oxidation state.

Isotopes of bohrium have also been detected in the decay of heavier elements.

The remaining 24 heavier elements, not found today either on Earth or in astronomical spectra, have been derived artificially.

Nearby galaxies that have evolved along similar lines have a corresponding enrichment of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium.

The two general trends in the remaining stellar-produced elements are: ( 1 ) an alternation of abundance in elements as they have even or odd atomic numbers, and ( 2 ) a general decrease in abundance, as elements become heavier.

These sets have a more novel look, and the often heavier weight makes them feel more substantial, but such materials and the resulting products are usually much more expensive than polymer materials.

Lighter components have a higher partial pressure and thus are concentrated in the vapor, but heavier volatile components also have a ( smaller ) partial pressure and necessarily evaporate also, albeit being less concentrated in the vapor.

Chemistry experiments have confirmed that dubnium behaves as the heavier homologue to tantalum in group 5.

At the time, the multiple neutron absorption was thought to be an extremely rare process, but the identification of indicated that still more neutrons could have been captured by the uranium nuclei, thereby producing new elements heavier than californium.

While people expected elements with higher atomic number to form from neutron bombardment of lighter elements, nobody expected neutrons to have enough energy to actually split a heavier atom into two light element fragments, and it was thought still more unlikely that slow neutrons could accomplish such a task.

Composite structures have become widespread, and include major structural components, reducing the steadily increasing weight — most modern fighters are larger and heavier than World War 2 medium bombers.

The supply of star-forming material is finite ; once stars have converted the available supply of hydrogen into heavier elements, new star formation will come to an end.

All heavier elements ( including those necessary for rocky planets like the Earth, and for carbon-based or other life ) have thus been created since the Big Bang in stars which were hot enough to fuse helium itself.

These softer and heavier soils soften the hooves and have made them prone to splitting, making hoof protection necessary.

Experiments have confirmed that hassium is a typical member of group 8 showing a stable + 8 oxidation state, which firmly puts hassium as the heavier homologue of osmium.

More typically the bottom is now heavier than the top ( but in some cases like the K Zildjian Steve Gadd Session Hats the pattern is reversed for a cleaner chick and cleaner sticking ), and may also be vented, this being one innovation to have caught on.

He is also said to have introduced a larger, heavier cowhide shield ( isihlangu ), and trained his forces to thus close with the enemy in more effective hand-to-hand combat.

While the jaguar closely resembles the leopard, it is sturdier and heavier, and the two animals can be distinguished by their rosettes: the rosettes on a jaguar's coat are larger, fewer in number, usually darker, and have thicker lines and small spots in the middle that the leopard lacks.

Chemistry experiments have confirmed that lawrencium behaves as the heavier homologue to lutetium and is chemically similar to other actinides.

Whereas most of the isotopes of meitnerium can be synthesized directly this way, some heavier ones have only been observed as decay products of elements with higher atomic numbers.
