Powercat/ Power Cataraman: The power catamaran boat design features twin hulls connected by a bridge deck in various sizes for different activities. Power catamarans come equipped with large engines that produce high speeds with reinforced hulls to handle the weight and power of these engines. Catamarans are also more likely to stay upright in a heavy gust even though they are more lightweight compared to sailboats. Also faster than other sailing vessels, catamarans, have less drag on the hull because of the smaller surface area in contact with water. - - - - - - #yachtcharter #howtobookacharter #bvi #greece #bahamas #usvi #wherecanwetakeyou #comesailsaway #luxuryyacht #vacation #songsinthesailsyachtcharters #athensga #atlantaga #alpharettaga #oconee #powercat #horizonyachts

“YSA Design rolls out concept for #biomethanol -powered #sailing #cruiseship # April 15, 2024, - Naida Hakirevic Prevljak “Norwegian designer for the #cruiseshipindustry YSA Design has unveiled a concept for a new #sailpowered catamaran cruise ship.” “Using a market-ready solution, four 50-meter high #foldablesails would be mounted on six-meter high bases on deck to capture #zeroemission #wind . Engines running on #greenbiomethanol would sustain hotel operations and – if the wind is insufficient – the main propulsion. However, the ship would also have a #hybriddrive to silently run on #batterypower .” https://lnkd.in/e5PC9Hbd? Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

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 Builders, meanwhile, are stuck with outdated, wasteful manufacturing processes.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.

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

🚤💡 Exciting times for boating enthusiasts and marine professionals alike! 🏆 The MX4™ promises 10%-30% better fuel efficiency at cruising speeds and more stern lift than traditional 4-blade propellers. It's the kind of breakthrough that not only advances propeller design but also has the potential to redefine our approach to marine engineering as a whole. 🌿 Sharrow Marine's commitment to innovation isn't new. Their journey from the original MX™ series to the MX4™ is a testament to a relentless pursuit of perfection. And for those of us who see boating not just as a pastime but as a passion, these advancements mean more than just technical stats—they represent the next wave of experiences on the water. 🤔 What do you think the MX4™ means for the future of boating? #MarineInnovation #BoatingLife #SharrowMX4 #EngineeringExcellence #SustainableBoating https://lnkd.in/drRctNGG

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

9 m Aluminum Adventure & Sport Stepped Hull boat 1x 300 hp Architecture&Design Andrei Rochian ASSESMENT AND OPTIMISATION OF STABILITY of a 9-meter aluminum boat with a high speed of 50 knots and a stepped hull 1. Initial Design Analysis Hull Form Analysis: The stepped hull design affects hydrodynamics significantly, influencing both speed and stability. Understand the design specifics, including the location, number, and shape of the steps. Center of Gravity (CG) and Center of Buoyancy (CB): Calculate the CG and CB for different loading conditions. The stepped hull may alter the CG during high-speed runs due to dynamic lift generated by the steps. Metacentric Height (GM): Evaluate GM, which measures initial stability. GM should be sufficient to provide positive stability in all expected conditions but not so high that it leads to stiff and uncomfortable motions. 2. Hydrodynamic Simulations Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis: Use CFD to simulate how the stepped hull behaves at various speeds and sea states. Focus on dynamic stability aspects such as porpoising (bouncing), chine walking (side-to-side instability), and potential for bow steering. Dynamic Stability Testing: Evaluate dynamic stability characteristics such as running trim angles, heeling moments, and turning stability. Stepped hulls can experience sudden changes in stability due to re-entry impacts during wave encounters. 3. Weight Distribution and Loading Conditions Load Scenarios: Assess stability with different loading scenarios (crew positions, fuel, equipment). Stepped hulls are sensitive to changes in trim and load distribution. Ballast Adjustment: If necessary, adjust ballast or redistribute weight to maintain an optimal CG, especially during high-speed maneuvers. 4. Sea Trials and Physical Testing Inclining Test: Conduct an inclining experiment to determine the actual CG and GM under real conditions. This test helps validate the theoretical stability calculations. 5. Regulatory Compliance and Safety Standards ISO 12217-1: This standard for small craft stability and buoyancy is useful for boats under 24 meters. Ensure your boat meets or exceeds the relevant stability criteria outlined for high-speed craft. Safety Margins: Incorporate safety margins into the stability design, considering the possibility of unexpected weather or sea state changes. 6. Analysis of Dynamic Effects Porpoising and Chine Walking Analysis: Validate stability against dynamic instabilities like porpoising, where the bow repeatedly rises and falls, and chine walking, where the boat oscillates side-to-side. #AluminiumBoat #SportBoat #HighSpeed #gofast #bateaugofast #gofastsportboat #gofastboat #boatdesign #MetalDesign #bateaualumiunium #Hydrodynamics #SpeedBoat #AluminiumVessel
