Of course, when running from first base, the runner learns that he cannot take as much lead off first on a leftie as he can on a rightie.
Runners can take longer leads (no more than 14 feet) and get a better jump on the right-hander, because the pitcher’s back is turned to him.
Runners who steal off right-handers do so by taking advantage of a weakness in the pitcher’s delivery.

APPROVED RULING: Since no runner, when the ball is dead, may advance beyond the base to which he is entitled, the runner originally on first base goes to third base and the batter is held at second base.
If the batter runner has not reached first base, the award is two bases at the time the pitch was made for all runners.
Runner on first base, batter hits a ball to the shortstop, who throws to second base too late to get runner at second, and second baseman throws toward first base after batter has crossed first base.

Some boats with a Portsmouth Sail had an SV-radar and needed extra room to house the screen, thus had a bulge at the sail top.
Later modifications put the SS or SS2 radars on these and other boats which had a smaller screen and had an indicator with interlocks which allowed the mast to be housed only with the screen in certain angular positions.
Also, some GUPPY II and GUPPY III boats had their sails extended higher above the waterline, the "Northern Sail," to raise the bridge, allowing it to be manned in more severe weather.
