Failure of carbon fiber yacht mast in heavy weather
For many years Round the World racers and leading yacht owners have appreciated the benefit of carbon. Carbon fiber spars are around 50% lighter and considerably stronger than traditional aluminum masts. The result is increased speed, and the lighter mast also gives the boat a lower centre of …

Design of a Trailer Capable, Open Ocean Sailing Yacht
A design is developed for a small sailing yacht capable of being towed, launched, and recovered with a standard-sized truck or sport utility vehicle, while retaining capability for extended, open ocean transits. A review of factors affecting small yacht seaworthiness is presented, and relevant …

Elements of Structure: Kennecott Yacht Club and Sailing School
The Kennecott Yacht Club and Sailing School is a series of boathouses placed along the water's edge of the Chesapeake Bay. The yacht club includes marina facilities, a clubhouse and a sailing school. The program is divided among five structures placed along the dock, culminating in a lookout tower. …

Hydor-impact, fluid-structure interaction and structural response of modern racing yacht
… and bigger are the key issues in a modern racing yacht<br/>for extreme performance. As a result, many yachts have experienced various structural<br/>failures caused by the hydrodynamic impact or ’hydro-impact’ phenomenon by<br/>slamming.<br/><br/>The structural failure by hydro-impact originates …

Defining and developing an efficient design tool for ship and yacht design
Both the yacht design and shipbuilding industries are going through an era of fierce competition. Among others, the quality of designs would make a significant contribution to their success. Under this compelling situation, an efficient design tool, which assists designers to achieve high quality …

A theoretical and numerical procedure for predicting sailing yacht lift and drag
… the hydrodynamic forces developed by a sailing yacht hull is presented. A simultaneous viscous/inviscid algorithm is developed by coupling a low order panel method with quasi three-dimensional integral boundary layer equations. A transom condition is used to prevent non-zero wave heights at the …

Some problems in anisotropic elasticity / Tristom Peter Cooke.
… This has immediate application to the design of yacht masts, and the particular example of the "Moth" yacht mast is considered. The second problem considered is the uncoupled thermo-elastic problem, where a boundary element method is derived for solving the class of boundary value problems …

An investigation into the application of LES and DES for prediction of flow and forces around an IACC yacht keel and marine bodies
… of incidence and an assymetric America's Cup yacht keel. Quantitative comparisons included predictions of values of global force coefficients around the geometrics, pressure and friction coefficients on the surface, and wake analysis. Qualitative observation focused on flow generation near the …

Fouled yachts : a vector for marine invasive alien species to South African shores?
Biofouling on recreational yachts is an important vector for marine invasive alien species (MIAS) in many countries. There are various characteristics of a vessel that make it more susceptible to hull fouling. Yachts in three Western Cape marinas were surveyed to assess extent of fouling, hull …
