von Karman was Hungarian. I spent many hours in an auditorium named after him
at JPL.

The vibrations and the singing noises that you have
observed are
classical examples of vortex shedding. They were
originally described by a
German fluid dynamics engineer, Theodore von Karmann.
If you are interested, do a search on “vortex
shedding”. Wikipeda has a
good description of the phenomena with some pix. You might
also search “
von Karmann vortex street”
I’ve experienced it in my rigging, and occasionally
from my centerboard at
certain wind speeds or boat speeds

Had
a similar hum while coming back from Newport. The engineer
on board put a
clothes pin on the shroud to change the harmonics. Worked
for several
hours.

Don't listen to him, Jim. I
can tell he's just making things
up. The name was Peat and we don't have pints of
rum... maybe a litre or two.
And to settle the ghost,
try hoisting a fender alongside the mast
about half way up. You will be amazed how it can settle
the rig if you have
oscillation. I had to do just that at the Boho Bash, 4
weeks ago.
Go
ogle vortex breaker.

On our latest trip north, we anchored in Clam
Bay and had a strange
problem. At a certain wind speed, the shrouds would
start to hum,
sometimes making the boat shake with vibration. The
major vibration was
felt in the small rod running to the underside of
the upper spreaders
and in the mast and backstay. I backed each
shroud one off half a
turn and it really didn't do much except make
those shrouds look loose
to me, but I'm sure I can't tell the
difference of 1/128th of an inch.
It eventually faded as the wind dropped.
For the next ten days, in all sorts of
conditions, we didn't hear
it, but when we anchored in the same bay 10 days
later, we got it again.
Any explanation except witchcraft?
