Energy Efficient Super Yacht Debuts in Germany for World Tour

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Greener and more energy-efficient trends are popping up in designs in the superyacht world, and new, earth-friendly prototypes are surfacing.

Alastair Callender’s Soliloquy features a vessel inspired by Masdar City’s zero emissions, and comes with an adjustable superstructure to provide it with rigid sails. 

Another “green” vessel cunstructed in northern Germany at Kiel’s Knierim Yacht Club is PlanetSolar. A 30m by 15m catamaran yacht, this vessel features a sleek design that allows it to carve through water smoothly and thus increases its speed and decreases stress on its solar powering.  Its design brings the 60 ton yacht to 15 knots.

PlanetSolar is a concept of Raphael Domjan, a Swiss designer.  Construction costs are nearly $24 million and the vessel was unveiled recently in Germany and will be circumnavigating the world beginning in spring of 2011 to break records and change goals for a more green approach to nautical designs.

Domjan is planning to embark on the round-the-world journey along with Gerard d’Aboville, a French Mariner who will control PlanetSolar.  The yacht features 500 square meters of solar panels.

Long Beach Yacht Club Hosts Southern California Yachting Association’s 81st Midwinter Regatta

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Out of over 30 yacht clubs on the West coast, Long Beach Yacht Club hosted the Southern California Yachting Association’s 81st Midwinter Regatta.

A longstanding tradition kicking off the Southern California racing season, the Midwinter Regatta began in 1928 and has since developed into the United States’ largest regatta event, with over 600 vessels and 80 classes registering, including cruisers, Performance Handicap Racing Fleet, dinghies, multihull, canoes and model sailboats. 

Both days of the regatta, crews faced steady winds at 15-20 knots, creating choppy seas to challenge the sailors. Participants came from yacht clubs all over– San Diego, the Pacific Coast, Arizona and the Channel Islands.

A few injuries were incurred from the rough seas, including a crewman aboard the White Knight, Zoltan Katinszky’s Farr 40 vessel.  He lost his footing down below while stowing the spinnaker and had a severe head injury.  The White Knight immediately pulled out of the race and he was brought to a local hospital.

The Farr 40 fleet winner was the Dark Star, Jeff Janov’s vessel from the Cal Yacht Club.  This yacht ended Saturday four points ahead of Piranha, David Voss’ boat.  Voss trailed behind Janov the entire day on Sunday and Janov kept the four points for the win.

America’s Cup Trophy Returns to United States Shores

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

In America’s territory for the first time since 1995, the oldest trophy in international sports is en route from Valencia, Spain to San Francisco, California after The BMW Oracle won the America’s Cup yacht races.

Celebrations will occur at the Golden Gate Yacht Club, welcoming members and their guests to meet and greet the crew of the BMW Oracle.  The cup will be on display for public viewing at the San Francisco City Hall Rotunda Saturday at 11:30 a.m. 

The trimarin conquered the race against defending Swiss team aboard the Alinghi.  The America’s Cup trophy is 159 years old and will remain on display at the San Diago Yacht Club aboard the schooner America, the namesake of the trophy.  From 1987 until 1995, America and the San Diego Yacht Club housed the trophy until New Zealand won the 1995 races.

Inspired by Racing Yachts, Transonic Hulls to Add Stealth to Navy SEAL Boats.

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Aerospace engineer A. Calderon had been testing with high-speed yacht designs during America’s Cup sailing race, and began experimenting with different means of wake reduction around a vessel’s bow, stern and sides as it passes through water.  A large wake grows as the boat moves, and it drains fuel by increasing drag.

By producing a covert, fuel-efficient vessel, Navy SEAL teams would benefit by approaching stealthily from a less bouncy ride.  The  less rocky of a trip, the better physical condition the SEAL officers are in.  A sleek hull design sets a new standard for efficient and streamlined nautical design.

Calderon’s concept has a bow shaped like an acute-angled V, which slices through water like a hot knife through butter, and nearly eliminates the wake sideways and under the boat.  Prototype tests of the concept, named the transonic hull, were performed with a 20-foot fiberglass-and-wood model and showed 28-28 percent less drag than even America’s Cup yachts that are already significantly streamlined.  This new concept could provide an improved fuel efficiency level by about 30 percent.  Amazingly, this vessel cut through four-foot waves without so much as a bounce.
