Abstract:
Abstract The report presents an analysis of modern technical solutions for shore power supply of a specific class of passenger ships - luxury yachts for charter trips. The design data of a motor yacht in its different operating modes are considered, as well as the energy mix related to the fuel consumption at shore supply of the yacht during its stay at the port. The use of modern technical systems for shore supply includes the application of specific frequency converters, through which compatibility between the different voltage standards and the frequency for different shore power supply systems is realized. The costs of onshore power, compared to those of marine fuel, can be calculated from the current prices of onshore electricity and the energy produced from its own generators. The analysis of the basic design data of the motor yacht and the assessment of the energy costs on board, fuel economy and emission reductions will provide a clear answer to the advantages of the power supply from the shore of the vessel.

Abstract:
Abstract The report presents an analysis of luxury charter yachts which are a specific class of vessels that, in order to meet the schedules and increased requirements of the owners regarding the luxury of the services offered, have relatively high energy consumption for their gross tonnage, compared to other passenger ships. The study focuses on the analysis of energy efficiency of luxury yachts by calculating the energy efficiency index (EEDI). This involves comparing different parameters that affect the value of the EEDI and can lead to energy savings. The report presents theoretical and experimental studies of the energy costs of a 70-meter luxury yacht for charter trips. With the use of the design data of the ship’s electrical equipment at different operating modes, at different routes, under different conditions, dependences for analysis of the optimal modes of movement are obtained, which leads to the realization of maximum savings of electricity and primary energy.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the confiscation of private vessels of foreign nationals during the First World War. Cases of confiscation of small vessels by the metropolitan river Police and the Baltic Fleet are considered. Special attention is paid to the distribution of confiscated vessels. Information is given that yachts and boats were sent to the Naval School and other naval units in need. Among the requests for the transfer of confiscated vessels, it is necessary to highlight the requests received from the Baltic fleet submarine connection, the naval artillery unit of the Kroonstad fortress, the commandant of the premise fortress and the transport flotilla of the black sea fleet. The article examines the prerequisites and reasons for the confiscation of small-sized floating vehicles and German and Austrian subjects. The article analyzes the cases of return of the vessel to a russian citizen of finnish origin after confiscation. The relationship between the events of the First World War and changes in the activities of Russian aristocratic yacht clubs is traced. The author studies the history of domestic sports organizations and Russian history in the early twentieth century. In addition, the organization of Russian sports organizations in the early twentieth century is considered. Russian imperial yacht clubs were rather reluctant to give small vessels belonging to foreign subjects to the official authorities. As a result, the Metropolitan River Police and the Baltic Fleet confiscated sailing and motor vessels owned by German and Austro-Hungarian citizens from aristocratic yacht clubs.

Abstract. Increasing price precision leads to linearly stronger anchoring effects for amateurs, but highly precise anchors can backfire for experts. Previous research focused on experts bargaining about an object within their expertise domain (e.g., real-estate agents negotiated about a house listed at €978,781.63). This leaves unknown whether too much precision backfires for experts because of their (a) general negotiation expertise, (b) domain-specific pricing knowledge, or (c) the combination of general expertise and price-knowledge. Our pre-registered report seeks to replicate the too-much-precision effect and to experimentally separate general negotiation expertise from domain-specific price-knowledge. Seasoned experts (real-estate agents) negotiate about an object either within (house) or outside (motor yacht) their domain of expertise. We measure experts’ willingness to pay (WTP), counteroffer, self-ascribed versus other-ascribed competence, and their self-ascribed versus other-ascribed price-knowledge. Based on responses of 400 professional real-estate agents, we replicate the advantageous anchor precision effect and illustrate that too much precision backfires regardless of whether agents negotiate within (house) or outside (yacht) their domain of expertise. Mediation analysis suggests that, consistent with previous research, the impact of precise anchors is due to the competence attributed to the negotiation opponent. Our results offer insights into the psychological mechanisms and theoretical understanding of anchor precision.

Abstract:
This thesis consists of two integrated parts. The main attempt is to design and test a new hull which will reduce the total water resistance and need for engine power, but maintains the stability of a conventional hull. To see if the hull is sufficient enough for a general luxury yacht, there will also be a need for an arrangement design process for the calculation of the needed volume and equipment. Based on external conditions the main parameters for the yacht was set. This resulted in a 30 meter long yacht, with a draught of 1.75 meters and a beam length of 7 meters. The yacht has a fuel capacity of 18 tons and a fresh water capacity of 4000 liters. Regarding accommodation and facilities it has 5 bed rooms, 5 bath rooms, kitchen, restaurant and a room for a small boat. The yacht is equipped with watertight bulkheads to prevent flooding of the complete ship, and floating devices to prevent sinking if the ship should be completely flooded. The yacht will in total have a lightweight of 191 tons and a deadweight at departure of 26 tons. The idea for the new hull is to have a more slender hull than a conventional hull, but maintain the volume in the midship under and over the water surface. This will, in theory, give reduced water resistance because of the reduced waterline beam length. However, when inclining the increase in waterline area will maintain some of the stability. To be able to compare the results it was also modeled a conventional hull for this thesis. This comparison hull has the same main parameters as the new hull, but designed with a conventional midship with long flat sides. The two different hulls were given four loading conditions. The first loading condition had 100 % fuel, fresh water and food supply. The second one had 10 %, and the third one had 50 %. The last loading condition had 100 % fuel, fresh water and food supply and no use of the water ballast tanks. The intact stability was tested for each loading condition and checked up against the IMO criteria for passenger and cargo vessels of all sizes. The calculations showed that the general stability was weakened with 30 percent for the new type of hull, but the increased stability was noticed at 5-10° heeling angle because of the larger waterline area. The new hull with an initial loading condition consisting of 100 % fuel, fresh water and food supply was then tested for three given damage scenarios. In scenario 1 the water entry started on the port side in the fore part of the ship, simulating a crash while coming along the quay. Scenario 2 simulated a front crash, resulting in flooding of the two front water ballast tanks and the chain room. The last scenario simulated a run aground of the ocean floor, resulting in flooding of three water ballast tanks and the fresh water tank. Damage scenario 1 resulted in a heel angle of 21° and the water level reaching 7 centimeters above the hull height. As a consequence of this there must be installed one or two more water tight walls, bulkheads, in the two corridors at this deck. The resistance of the two hulls was predicted with the Holtrop-84 resistance prediction method. Holtrop has implemented statistical results from several model tests in a formula which calculates the ship resistance based on some of the main parameters of the hull form. Based on the results from this test the new hull required 24 % less engine power than the conventional hull. This can save fuel for over 72 000 US$ per year. The new hull design has both its advantages and disadvantages, but much research remains before it can be either refused or accepted as a new way to design ship hulls. The stability and resistance can in general not be compared, but the calculations show a larger reduction of the stability than for the resistance, which implies that both changes and more testing must be executed before the new hull can be introduced to the yacht market.

The Manufacturing technique of Taiwan yacht industry has been kept the pace with Europe and American for a long time, but now the yacht industry is facing the problem of developing our own yacht entertainment industry and short of yacht designers. Therefore, this research based on the feeling of people and extended the feeling to the actual form features. The objectives of this research include three part, that is the relationship of form feature of mega yacht and recognition of adjective image, the preference of the type of mega yachts, and the preference of the mega yachts adjective images. The experiment includes two part, first of all, there are three admissions to deliver, include sifting the adjective out form all, pick up the form features as our item and find out the average image as a sample plate. In the second part, take the chosen adjective and the sample which is been create by Orthogonal Design method to go through the SD experiment.As a result, the positive influence is sorted from significant to insignificant：elegant（0.911）, sporty（0.333）, energetic（0.105）and Steady（0.086）, and the negative influence：casual（-0.015）and tasted（-0.245）.When the hull length is longer , it comes to elegant, tasted, energetic and casual. When comes to shorter, it brings steady and sporty. When the position of the hull comes to the middle, it brings to the feeling of elegant.When comes to the stern, it brings the feeling of elegant. On the aspect of front window slope, it brings the tasted feeling when the angle goes big, and it brings the feeling of elegant and sporty when the angle is 45°, and it brings the feeling of energetic, steady and casual when the angle goes small. As refer to the aspect of FRP hard top, when the altitude goes bigger, it brings the feeling of elegant and casual, and lower brings the feeling of steady and tasted. When the length is longer, it brings the feeling of energetic, steady and casual. When it’s shorter, it brings the feeling of tasted. As refer to the FRP hard top angle, When the angle comes big, it will bring most of feelings. When the window shape looks like a pod, it brings the feeling of energetic and casual, the square goes to the feeling of steady, and parallelogram brings the feeling of elegant, sporty and tasted.

This research conducted an analysis of the relationship between mega motor yachts’ features and aesthetic perceptions by Kansei engineering method. 　The research methods include questionnaires and statistical methods. There were two stages and six steps: The first stage includes choosing the perceptual vocabularies, collecting sample pictures, establishing perception space, and selecting important design factors by factor analysis method; the second stage includes the questionnaire investigation using the combination of images and designing factors, and the multiple regression analysis of the relationship between aesthetic perceptions and design factors. 　The analysis result shows: the most important yacht’s feature are the position of the aerial dustcoat position, lateral line geometry on sides of a yacht, the length of main room, and the anchor position; adjusting some design factors can increase or reduce some aesthetic perceptions, such as magnificent/simple, cheap/expensive, smooth/sharp, long/short, noble/vulgar, harmonic/abrupt, eye-catching/common, classical/advanced, fast/slow. These 9 perception groups are the most representative aesthetic perception found in this study. Secondly, men and women have different perceptions on antenna position and the length of rooms. All the other disparity of aesthetic feelings of ethnicity background is not obvious. 　This research is limited by biased samples whose background overly concentrated on the young people in East Asia. Whether the result could be suitable for potential mega motor yacht customers, such as American-European middle-aged men, needs to be examined by further studies.

Abstract:
Techniques and procedures are well established for the reliable sizing and analysis of conventional monoblock propellers on powered vessels, such as motor yachts and other pleasure craft. However, the use of these propeller sizing criteria and analysis techniques have proven ineffective for auxiliary-powered sailboats with folding propellers. This paper is intended to be a “design guide” for the sizing and analysis of folding propellers on auxiliary powered sailboats, utilizing both anecdotal evidence and analytical investigation in the development of new criteria and recommended procedures. Topics considered in this paper include speed prediction, calculation models for folding propellers, and cavitation criteria.

Full text
Abstract:
Turkish Gulets are motor-sailors that are still being built using wooden boatbuilding traditional construction in the Aegean and Mediterranean as well as being built using steel and cold moulded techniques. They are typical of the craft used for skippered charter tours in the region and exhibit good seakeeping in the shorter steep sea of the Mediterranean and also for manoeuvring in port and in anchorages. Usually this performance is at the cost of resistance. Sailing performance and stability are surprisingly not considered due to the large beams. The hull forms of two typical gulets are used to examine the stability, resistance and coupled heave and pitch. A multi-objective evolutionary optimization methodology is used to investigate the performance of the three objectives. The evaluation of resistance uses a transom modified Michell theory in keeping with the smaller L/B ratios and large transoms of many of these vessel types. Seakeeping is evaluated using a strip motion program and the stability curve is used to provide a stability index. The multi-objective analysis is based on the optimization capabilities of genetic algorithms. Evolutionary algorithms are stochastic in nature and follow the Darwinian principle of survival of the fittest. From a given population of hull candidates, those hulls that are “fitter” by having better resistance, seakeeping and stability are selected to generate a new population. Over the course of many generations, the hulls are optimized to provide better performance. Each of the objectives requires an index to measure the performance of the candidate.

Abstract:
Virtual Sailing (VS) has been producing the world’s only ride-on sailing simulator for 10 years. Based on fundamental principles of sailing dynamics the underlying simulation has shown great robustness permitting significant R&D to be performed and retrofitted to existing simulators. The initial intention of the VSail-Trainer was for fitness training and physiological evaluation of elite athletes. Although this has shown promise, with four sailors at the recent Olympics using and praising the simulator as a useful tool for fitness training, tactics and strategy development, the real value in terms of human interaction with sailing has been shown in recent years to be in introducing novice sailors to sailing. Perhaps the most exciting area that the simulator is finding extended use is in rehabilitation of spinal injury patients. For a recent spinal cord injury (SCI) patient the thought of getting into a small sailing boat must be daunting. However, combined with simulation hours the jump from wheelchair to water is becoming quite successful, with one recent participant transferring from simulator to on water sailing within 6 months and has recently been selected for the Skud 18 world championships in July 2010 and then qualifying her country (New Zealand) to compete in the 2012 Paralympics. The essential ingredients for the success of this simulator are: its level of immersion and the degree of active involvement of the participants. As sailing is a complex interaction of cognitive, motor and perceptual skills, the correct balance of immersion and interaction is crucial to an effective simulation. This paper will describe why the VSail-Trainer might just have this balance right.

Abstract:
Sandwich structures are increasingly used in marine applications where high bending specific stiffness and strength are required. So far, expanded polymeric foams such as Styrene Acrilonitrile (SAN) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) have been proved to be the most suitable core materials for motor and sailing yacht sandwich constructions. ISO standards have accepted these materials and suggested design rules built around their mechanical properties. One of the main drawbacks in the application of sandwich composite structures is the fact that their load carrying ability may be significantly reduced by the presence of a local damage such as core indentation or partial face sheet delamination. Local damages usually take place in dynamic scenarios and they can be caused by indentation due to floating object impacts, interaction with mooring structures and rocks or by high deformations due to slamming loads. It should be noted that such damages usually cannot be observed from outside the sandwich construction and they may cause a serious reduction in load-bearing capacity, jeopardizing the safety of the boat and its crew. ARPRO® is an expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam extensively used in the automotive industry, where it has gained full approval due to its outstanding energy absorption characteristics. Unlike standard polymeric foams, ARPRO® foams possess a hyper-elastic stress versus strain response and recover their initial shape after having undergone very high deformations. For this reason this material is expected to enable the design of sandwich panels with an enhanced damage tolerance. In the case of an impact, the core stores the energy as it is compressed and once the load is released it will return to its original geometry preventing the skin from debonding. SAN or PVC cores would absorb the energy by destroying their cell structure leading in this way to core-skin delamination. On the other hand, ARPRO® has lower shear and compressive moduli which implies lower sandwich structures performances in static scenarios. This paper presents static and dynamic testing aimed at determining the relative mechanical performances of sandwich beams cored both with ARPRO® and SAN foams. Comparison of the static and dynamic response ofthe two materials shows that ARPRO® is a potentially competitive core material for composite sandwich construction.

Abstract:
The gas turbine engine first went to sea in 1953 when the British Shipbuilding Company VOSPERS was selected to experiment with the gas turbine as a form of marine propulsion. The former Steam Gun Boat (SGB) HMS Grey Goose was rebuilt by the shipyard with the surprisingly sophisticated Rolls-Royce RM60 engine. Today, for any vessel project whose design function makes its speed or volume critical, the gas turbine has become a strong candidate for selection as a prime mover, due to its inherent power density and low weight. For marine use, the gas turbine is equipped with a power turbine in order to convert the energy in the exhaust gases into rotational energy. This energy is applied, via a shaft line, to a suitable propulsion system either by a direct mechanical drive system or by the intermediary of an electrical system: this is the case of yachts and mega yachts characterized by high speed performances. The case study concerns the motor yacht “OCI CIORNIE”, built by the shipyard PALMER JOHNSON in 1999 and powered with a CODAG (Combined Diesel and Gas) type propulsion plant made up of two diesel engines coupled to waterjets, via a reduction gear and by a gas turbine TF40, driving a surface piercing propeller (SPP) with Arneson transmission, via a reduction gearbox. According to expectations of the designer the top speed with the CODAG configuration was to be more than 55 knots while the speed with the only diesel engines running would be around 25 knots, but enough to reach the take off speed anyway. Instead, because of weight increase during the construction, the current maximum speed with the diesel propulsion is only 14÷16 knots, depending of the displacement and the sea condition, while the CODAG propulsion top speed is around 50÷52 knots. The paper will analyze the main steps of the development of the OCI CIORNIE project and will compare the performances of the planning stage with the final operating conditions of the yacht. Besides, the paper will consider, for the current displacement reached, the optimum distribution between the power of the diesel engines and the power of the gas turbine in order to obtain, for different speeds, the maximum range, the minimum wear and tear of the machines and, as a consequence, the minimum operating expenses, respecting the restrictions of the maximum torque on the gas turbine and on the diesel engines.
