Silmaril Burning The Ships

There is a thing about Fëanor burning the Teleri ships at Losgar that bothers me.

Earlier when he talks to the Noldor in Tirion, we are told that as soon as he has won the Noldor over on his side, he and his sons start making preparations for their departure. He does this because he is afraid that his words will lose their power and the Noldor will start listening to other advise, like those of Fingolfin, Finarfin and Turgon. This clearly indicates that he wants to get as many as possible with him on his quest to re-capture the Silmarils. Then why does he burn the ships?

I know he is angered by Fingolfins following cursing him, but earlier he wanted them. It seems weird that he now thinks he can do with out them. Surely if they where dispensable, then there would be no need for the departure to be rushed.

So my question is: Why does he burn the ships? Is it only his anger of his name being cursed that makes him do this or what?

I am sure there is a thread that gives the answer to this, but I am not good at using the "Forum Search"
