But while underway and paddling across the wind, most will tend to gradually turn upwind to point their bows nearly into the wind, or within degrees. This tendency is a function of several physical forces acting on the boat, each of which we'll explore a bit, but the upshot is that this phenomenon can make it difficult to keep your boat on your intended course, and can be frustrating and physically exhausting for an unprepared paddler, especially if one doesn't fully understand its cause.
Sweep and stern rudder strokes may be employed, with varying degrees of success, but the tired paddler may soon find himself getting swung around like Grandpa's rooftop rooster, and struggling to make headway toward his destination.
There are multiple factors which contribute to weathercocking in sea kayaks, so let's look at each one, in their order of significance. Every vessel, whether an oceangoing freighter or a little plastic kayak, creates a pressure wave footprint with a distinctive shape as it passes through the water.
When viewed from above, bulbous zones of high pressure surround the ends of the boat larger at the bow and smaller at the stern , while a narrow zone of low pressure suction pinches the midsection. The precise size and shape of this footprint will vary with speed and hull shape, but it is these pressure zones, moving along through the water with the kayak, which create the bow and stern wakes.
Normally, these pressure zones are symmetrically balanced on the left and right sides of the hull, so the kayak tends to track straight. But when paddling across the wind, the beam wind exerts a sideways, lateral force along the entire length of one side of the boat. Because the larger high-pressure zone surrounding the bow serves to resist this lateral force, and the smaller high-pressure zone around the stern offers less resistance, the overall effect is that the beam wind is able to push the stern further off course than the bow.
The resulting force tends to push the stern downwind, and the bow upwind—the familiar weathercocking phenomenon. Because the entire pressure footprint is amplified by speed, and dissipates when the kayak glides to a stop, weathercocking tends to increase the faster you paddle. Beam winds are certainly the primary culprit, but water is able to exert great force on your kayak's hull, too.
When waves driven by a beam wind strike the side of your moving kayak, they too encounter the unequal lateral resistance caused by the larger bow and smaller stern high-pressure zones, with similar results.
So again, the stern will be swung downwind or downwave more than the bow, with the same result as above: weathercocking up into the wind and waves. Grandpa's barntop weathervane unfailingly swings around to aim into the wind because the wind exerts more pressure behind the vane's pivot point than ahead of it.
So too does your kayak. Just like the weathervane, you and your kayak have a central pivot point—your combined center of gravity. Wet Crocking or Dry Crocking.
Transfer of dye from the surface of a dyed or printed fabric onto another surface by rubbing. The more color is transferred, the more the fabric "crocks". Crocking determines the amount of color transferred from the surface of colored textile material to other surfaces by rubbing.
Dye crocking is the result of color loss by mechanical actions such as friction and abrasion. Crocking can be the result of lack of penetration of the dyeing agent, the use of incorrect dyes or dyeing procedures, or the lack of proper washing procedures and finishing treatments after the dyeing process.
If the textile dying or printing process is not done properly, the rubbing-off of dye from a fabric may occur. Crocking often occurs in heavily dyed fabric, such as raw denim. Crocking is one of the processes that helps give raw denim its personality and is the cause for fades and atari on creases, seams, and any other worn areas.
Technically, crocking can occur under dry or wet conditions. Clothing is colorfast if its colors and dyes do not bleed or run from the clothing. Colorfastness is often tested by clothing manufacturers. A good rule of thumb is at 16 clicks, your aiming point will move one inch at twenty yards. Service inspection does not cover costs of labor or material charges. Ware-able components are not covered under warranty. Scope, limb dampeners 1-year warranty. A: Yes, whether the crossbow is shipped back to the dealer or to Killer Instinct, shipping is the responsibility of the customer.
A: Registering your crossbow activates your warranty. Product registration is for your safety and convenience. Unless you register your product, we will be unable to send you important updates about your crossbow.
A: Yes. Modifications or alterations to the original product will void the warranty. A: Immediately replace worn, cut, or frayed string, serving and cables prior to shooting. String and cables should be replaced every three years under normal shooting conditions or sooner if signs of wear exist. A: When your crossbow needs new strings and cables we recommend taking your crossbow to an Authorized Killer Instinct Dealer. A: Once a month while in storage. A: No longer than 12 hours.
Do not leave crossbow cocked for extended periods of time or overnight past 12 hours. When Ryan Reynolds uploaded a teaser for the upcoming Deadpool 2 on his YouTube channel last Saturday, everybody expected to see the actor jump around, run, kick someone's butt around, and do other action-filled stuff. But Ryan Reynolds is into another kind of action in that teaser, and Deadpool fans don't seem to be complaining.
In the trailer, Reynolds' character sees an elderly man getting robbed, so he hurries up to the nearest phone booth to get changed. At one point in his undressing process, Ryan Reynolds turns around and presses his naked butt against the phone booth.
Eagle-eyed fans could clearly catch a glimpse of Reynolds's penis dangling down between his legs. And some Deadpool fans even think you can catch a glimpse of Ryan Reynolds's penis when he is taking his pants off, though others admit that it could just as easily be his belt that can be seen.
