ZEN Yachts’ Post

Do you wonder how carbon yachts are made? And how the first ZEN50 hull production looks like? To satiate your curiosity, here is a 3 minute timelapse of the first 3 months of production. Every minute represents 1 month of careful and passionate craft by our Production Team. They have poured their heart into this yacht and we are happy to share this little snippet of carbon fibre yacht building craftsmanship with you! In this video, you will see the fabrication of the wave cutter and of the hull skin until the infusion is completed (you can see the resin flowing through the starboard side of the hull toiwards the end of video). The thin film covering the boat in the last third of the video is to maintain constant temperature while resin cures. Stay tuned as we will be regularly posting more insightful ZEN50 production videos! #carbonfiber #boatbuilding #yachtbuilding #solarenergy #cleanenergy #zeroemission #carbonneutral #ev #electricvehicle #cleanmobility #solarboat #solaryacht #electricboat #electricyacht #solarelectricboat #solarelectricyacht #wingsail #wingsailyacht #solarwingyacht #swy #yacht #catamaran #ecoyacht #yachtlife #yachting #boating #zeroemissionnautic #zen #wingsail #ayro #zen50 #sailzen

We started Dreamer because the yacht industry faces a serious problem: high-performance sailing often comes at a significant environmental and economic cost. Traditional yachts are built using harmful materials like fiberglass and polyester resin, which are toxic to produce, difficult to recycle, and damaging to the environment. At the same time, these materials also drive up production costs and limit innovation in sustainable design. The Issue The industry hasn’t evolved to meet modern demands for sustainability and affordability. Yacht owners want high performance without compromising the environment or breaking the bank. Builders, meanwhile, are stuck with outdated, wasteful manufacturing processes. This gap is what Dreamer is here to solve: combining cutting-edge materials, smarter production, and innovative design to redefine yacht building for a new generation of sailors.

This is a great example of how aluminium can contribute to lower energy use for the propulsion of ferries - enabling them to run exclusively on electric power with zero emissions. This is is only possible through best use of the lightweighting potential of aluminium. Well done, CoCo Yachts B.V.!

Aviation and yachting are coming together...... again. The foiling yachts are getting bigger and they are increasingly electric driven. But if we think about it the Russians and Ukrainians were doing foiling vessels in the 1950's and the 1970s with Voskhod,  Raketas and Meteors. Maybe its time to dig back into the archives, as if we are really serious about the environmental impact of yachting one of the first things we have to do is get the hull out of the water and reduce the energy consumption... its just physics. #foiling #history #environment #yachting #yachtdesign https://lnkd.in/dbfYpa4V

Setting up a sea pool from a yacht in record time involves advanced engineering and specialized technology. Have you tried it yet? Here are some key technologies and methods used: - Inflatable Structures: Sea pools use inflatable technology, allowing for rapid deployment with durable, puncture-resistant materials that can be quickly inflated and secured to the yacht. - Modular Design: Some sea pools have modular components that are lightweight and easy to handle, enabling crew members to quickly assemble the pool on-site and deploy it into the water. - Hydraulic Systems: For larger or complex pools, hydraulic systems assist in the deployment and retrieval processes, ensuring smooth lowering into the water and stability during use. - Advanced Anchoring Mechanisms: Sea pools feature advanced anchoring mechanisms like suction anchors or tension lines, securing the pool in place and preventing drifting in the water. - Automated Deployment Systems: High-end yachts use automated systems integrated with onboard technology to deploy the sea pool at the touch of a button, quickly providing a safe and enjoyable swimming environment in open water. By combining these technologies, modern yachts can efficiently set up sea pools, enhancing the swimming experience at sea. #innovation #technology #yacht via @motoryachtloon #superyacht

The number of superyachts to be built and refitted in 2025 The number of superyachts to be built and refitted in any given year can vary widely based on demand, shipyard capacity, and the complexity of projects. For 2025, industry estimates suggest that: New Builds: Around 150-200 new superyachts are expected to be completed globally, depending on market conditions and shipyard backlogs. Many of these projects are already in the pipeline. Refits: The refit market is also robust, with approximately 200-250 refits projected. Superyachts require significant maintenance and updates, particularly those that are over 5-10 years old or those being upgraded with more environmentally friendly technology. Increased demand for hybrid and eco-friendly technologies could lead to an uptick in both refit and new-build projects, with more focus on sustainability. Have you noticed any particular trends at the yacht shows regarding this, would love to hear your comments. Email: info@chrysalisyachtdesign.com Website: https://lnkd.in/e8XrVhhs

Artemis 39 Sport Motor Yacht designed by Andrei Rochian built by Selene Ocean Yachts Exhaust System Design Exhaust Riser Height: The height of the exhaust riser is critical in preventing backflow of water into the engine. The riser should be positioned as high as possible above the waterline. Generally, a minimum of 12-18 inches above the waterline at rest is recommended to ensure water does not siphon back into the engine when the boat is stationary. Exhaust Water Lock or Muffler: Install a water lock or muffler between the exhaust riser and the through-hull exhaust outlet. The water lock acts as a barrier to prevent water from traveling back toward the engine. Choose a muffler designed specifically for diesel engines and ensure it is installed below the engine’s exhaust outlet to catch any water that may flow back. Anti-Siphon Valve: Install an anti-siphon valve (also known as a siphon break) in the water cooling line to prevent water from being siphoned back into the exhaust system and then into the engine. This valve should be mounted above the waterline to allow air to enter the cooling system, breaking any siphoning action. Check Valve or Flapper Valve at the Transom: A check valve or flapper valve at the exhaust exit point on the transom can help prevent water from surging back into the exhaust system. This valve closes when the boat is stationary, or waves hit the transom, thus stopping water ingress. Down-Angled Exhaust Outlet: Position the exhaust outlet at the transom at a downward angle, so water is naturally directed out of the exhaust system. Avoid having the exhaust exit directly at the waterline; instead, position it a few inches above to reduce the chance of backflow, especially when the boat is backing down or at rest. Proper Hose Routing: Ensure the exhaust hose from the engine to the outlet is routed with a high loop between the riser and the muffler. This loop, often referred to as a gooseneck or swan neck, acts as an additional safeguard by keeping the highest point of the exhaust system well above the waterline. Maintain Back Pressure Limits: Ensure the exhaust system design keeps back pressure within the manufacturer’s specified limits. Excessive back pressure can not only affect engine performance but also increase the risk of water being forced back into the engine. #yachtdesign#sportboatdesign#designbateaux #bateaux#bateausport#conceptionbateaux#SportBoat #HighSpeed #HighSpeed #NavalArchitecture #NauticalDesign #Hydrodynamics #SpeedBoat #SportBoats #Sportbåt #Sportboot #BoatDesign #GoFast #BateauGoFast #GoFastSportBoat #GoFastBoat #BoatDesign #YachtDesign #SportBoatDesign #DesignBateaux #Bateaux #BateauSport #ConceptionBateaux #SportBoat #HighSpeed #NavalArchitecture #NauticalDesign #Hydrodynamics #SpeedBoat #SportBoats #Sportbåt #Sportboot #BootDesign #SchnellBoot #BarcoRapido #BateauxRapides
