The Convair XP5Y-1 prototype in 1950. It first flew on 18 April 1950 at San Diego and crashed in 1953. Convair received a request from the United States Navy in 1945 for the design of a large flying boat using new technology developed during World War II, especially the laminar flow wing and still-developing turboprop technology.
On modern versions of iOS, the sources of the apps must be trusted by both Apple and the user in "profiles and device management" in settings, except when using jailbreak methods of sideloading apps. Sideloading is only allowed by Apple for internal testing and development of apps using the official SDKs. [3]
It is a light (minimum weight only 48 kg) one-person boat with a uni-rig stayed sail plan. It is sailed mainly in Britain and the Philippines , and over 2200 have been built. At first all boats were built of plywood , but since 1998 fibreglass , and fibreglass variants have been used, and now over half of new boats are of fibreglass or ...

A single scull (or a scull), abbreviated as a 1x, [1] is a racing shell designed for a single person who propels the boat with two oars, one in each hand. Racing boats (often called "shells") are long, narrow, and broadly semi-circular in cross-section in order to minimize drag. They have riggers, which apply the forces symmetrically to each ...
If only one outrigger is used on a vessel, its weight reduces the tendency to capsize in one direction and its buoyancy reduces the tendency in the other direction. On a keelboat, "outrigger" refers to a variety of structures by which the running rigging (such as a sheet) may be attached outboard (outside the lateral limits) of the boat's hull.
In sailing, a hand is a member of a ship's crew. [1] [2] "Single-handed" therefore means with a crew of one, i.e., only one person on the vessel.The term "single-handed" is also used more generally in English to mean "done without help from others" or, literally, "with one hand".
