On a kayak, the spraydeck is secured to a rim surrounding the cockpit with a line or elastic string called a rand. [1] The line or string often runs inside the hem along the edge of the spraydeck. Alternatively elastic cord is attached directly to the edge of the spraydeck, and is tightened around the rim of the kayak's cockpit or stretched ...
The broader kayak categories today are 'sit-in' (SI), which is inspired mainly by traditional kayak forms, 'sit-on-top' (SOT), which evolved from paddle boards that were outfitted with footrests and a backrest, 'hybrid', which are essentially canoes featuring a narrower beam and a reduced free board enabling the paddler to propel them from the ...
The NOMAD hull was developed from the "Roberts buoy," which was a 6.67-foot-long (2.03 m), 400-pound (181 kg) boat-shaped buoy developed in the early 1940s by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey to measure strong tidal currents. The buoy's performance was satisfactory, but its limited size significantly restricted its use in other areas.
The GAF Nomad is a utility aircraft produced by the Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) of Australia in Melbourne. The twin- turboprop , high-wing aircraft has a retractable gear and came in two variants: the initial N22 , followed by the stretched N24 .
ITX motherboard form factor comparison Comparison of the form factors for mini-ITX, mini-DTX, ATX, μATX and DTX motherboards. Mini-ITX is a 170 mm × 170 mm (6.7 in × 6.7 in) motherboard form factor developed by VIA Technologies in 2001. [1] Mini-ITX motherboards have been traditionally used in small-configured computer systems.
The baidarka or Aleutian kayak (Aleut: iqyax) is a watercraft consisting of soft skin (artificial or natural) over a flexible space frame. Without primarily vertical flex, it is not an iqyax . Its initial design was created by the Aleut people (Unangan/Unangas), the Indigenous people of the Aleutian Islands .
The DTX form factor is a variation of ATX specification [1] designed especially for small form factor PCs (especially for HTPCs) with dimensions of 8 × 9.6 inches (203 × 244 mm). [2] An industry standard intended to enable interchangeability for systems similar to Shuttle 's original "SFF" designs, [ 3 ] AMD announced its development on ...
The simplest form of all ancestral Austronesian boats had five parts. The bottom part consists of single piece of hollowed-out log. At the sides were two planks, and two horseshoe-shaped wood pieces formed the prow and stern. These were "sewn" together with dowels and lashings. They had no central rudders but were instead steered using an oar ...
