Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails : Chapter 5, During the act of sailing, the decks are maintained in a horizontal position, while the masts are kept in a vertical orientation. The invention is based on the objective of providing a ship with a sail device that can be extended from the hull and a dynamic levelling system for multiple decks of the ship for temporary sailing operations. The solution to this initial issue entails the delineation of a load-bearing system for the ship's hull, which exhibits a sandwich construction that combines weight savings in the steel construction with enhanced rigidity for the hull. Additionally, the specification of a rescue system is proposed, wherein the ship itself serves as A life raft for passengers and crew is also provided, whereby the buoyancy of the ship can be maintained indefinitely. Finally, an energy system for the ship is included, which allows for the optimal balance between energy consumed and energy generated during ship operation. #ResSS5 #resoceanwind #ResSS1 to #ResSS8 #reslevelcontrol #resail #resship #rescruiseship #restelescopicmast #excellence from #theländ Res-institue.com

Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails : Chapter 4. The ship with hydrodynamic levelling The ship, as designed according to the invention, can be adapted to suit a variety of functions, including those as a cargo, passenger, military or work ship. In the operation of these ships, hydrodynamic levelling is achieved through the utilisation of outboard wings, situated on either side of the vessel and positioned in opposition to one another. The wings can be extended or swivelled out and are equipped with a variable, three-part wing profile that is aligned with the underwater hull in a plane parallel to the longitudinal and transverse axes of the ship. This configuration serves to counteract the heeling tendency of the ship when sailing. The leading edge segment and the trailing edge segment of the three-part wing profile can be synchronously adjusted via a hydraulically or electrically operated gearbox integrated into a central wing segment. It is proposed that torque compensation be implemented at the centre of gravity of the ship for the purpose of facilitating sailing operations. A primary torque, resulting from the transverse force generated by the sailing device, is counterbalanced by a secondary torque. This second torque is the result of a hydrodynamic force generated by the outboard wings, which create lift and downforce. The aforementioned wings are arranged in pairs, situated in opposition to one another in the region of the underwater hull. Furthermore, the shifting of the water ballast from one side of the ship to the other, either from the forecastle to the stern or vice versa, allows for the levelling of the plane spanned by the longitudinal and transverse axes. This allows the telescopic axes of the telescopic masts to be aligned parallel to the vertical axis, with the centre of buoyancy, the centre of gravity and the metacentre of the ship on the vertical axis perpendicular to each other. #ResSS4 #resoceanwind #ResSS1 to #ResSS8 #reslevelcontrol #resail #resship #rescruiseship #restelescopicmast #excellence from #theländ Res-institue.com

Is Starboard to Starboard allowed? While COLREGs prioritize 'port to port' passing in a head-on situation for its clarity and consistency, it's important to note that it doesn't outright prohibit 'starboard to starboard' passing. Under certain circumstances, 'starboard to starboard' passing might seem preferable for safety purposes. However, this practice deviates from the standard 'port to port' approach recommended by COLREGs due to its potential for confusion and increased likelihood of misinterpretation or error. Especially in high-traffic areas, adhering to uniform navigation procedures is crucial for accident prevention.

Can you spot the mistakes? 🚩 🎯 https://lnkd.in/dBQifEBB ✨ QUIZ ✨ A boat builder has completed the back of the written declaration of conformity for the boat (see image) they have just built: a 13m multi-hull sailboat inboard diesel engine. After a quick analysis, we informed the boat builder the document was full of errors. How many of them are you able to find ❓ ✨ DISCLAIMER ✨ This declaration of conformity is not based on a real case but summarizes the most common errors we have encountered over the years. We are not trying to blame anyone. With this example, we just want to take this opportunity to learn. ✨ BACKGROUND ✨ The written declaration of conformity is a legally binding document for the manufacturer or its authorized representative. In this declaration, the manufacturer or the authorized representative will officially declare the references used to demonstrate compliance with the Essential Requirements: the European harmonized standards or other references (e.g., classification societies rules, etc.). The model of the EU Declaration of Conformity is a standard document established by the member countries' administration group (the ADCO). Articles 15.3 and 15.4 of the Recreational Craft Directive state that: "by drawing up the EU declaration of conformity, the manufacturer, private importer or the person adapting the engine shall assume responsibility for the product's compliance. The EU declaration of conformity shall accompany the following products when they are made available on the market or put into service: 🔶 watercraft; 🔶 components when placed on the market separately; 🔶 propulsion engines." We are inspiring a New Generation of Yacht Designers, Naval Architects, and Marine and Ocean Engineers.
