    CASE STUDY | HIGH PERFORMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS HP CASE STUDY HIGH PERFORMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS HOW HP ZBOOKS ARE REVVING UP THE EMIRATES TEAM NEW ZEALAND CAMPAIGN From note taking on clipboards to high computational devices that process data in real time. CASE STUDY | HIGH PERFORMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS Challenge An America’s Cup campaign is a gruelling test of endurance – one that begins three or four years before the racing starts. Day after day, Emirates Team New Zealand is often out on the water for six to eight hours, testing the limitations of the boat and themselves. And every race day, another crew is right in their wake. But these aren’t just sailors – they’re data scientists and engineers. Industry: Country: “The America’s Cup is a technology race as well as a boat race. The team that wins the Sporting New Zealand technology race wins the sailing race. So the technology we use is critical,” says Marty Yates, Emirates Team New Zealand’s IT manager. IT Matters: “Going back to the late eighties, technology started coming into full effect. Whether it’s • Leverages local HP expertise to meet the customers’ cloud-based or on-site, everyone is now using the latest technology to get the edge requirements over the competition.

  • THE 23Rd CHESAPEAKE SAILING YACHT SYMPOSIUM ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND, MARCH 15 – 16Th, 2019
    THE 23rd CHESAPEAKE SAILING YACHT SYMPOSIUM th ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND, MARCH 15 – 16 , 2019 ABSTRACTS Experimental and numerical prediction of foiling monohull dinghy performance A. H. Day, W. Shi, T. King, Naval Architecture Ocean & Marine Engineering, University of Strathclyde F.M. Fresneda, S.R.Turnock, Performance Sports Engineering Lab, University of Southampton The rise in interest in large foiling yachts, such as those in the America’s Cup, has spurred a corresponding interest in foiling applications in monohull sailing dinghies, both for boats designed specifically for foiling, and through retro-fit foil kits. The present study considers the assessment of foil systems for such boats, and specifically the prediction of the necessary foil performance of t-foils with and without flaps. Towing tank and wind tunnel experiments are used alongside numerical simulations. The accuracy of different simulation approaches is examined and the corresponding sensitivity of the predicted boat speed to the numerical method adopted is identified. Results are presented via two case studies, predicting performance for a foiling International Moth, and for a Europe dinghy retro-fitted with hydrofoils. Benchmark data for the numerical simulation is obtained using two approaches. The main lifting foil for a moth dinghy with flap was tested at full-scale in a towing tank at a range of speeds, trim angles and flap angles. Results are compared with published experiment data for a similar moth foil. In a complementary set of tests, the rudder of a Europe dinghy was tested in a wind-tunnel, initially in the original design condition, and subsequently with a T-foil rudder designed for a retro-fit foiling solution.

    WAYPOINTS LYLES FORBES & JEANNE WILLOZ-EGNOR The Mariners’ Museum and Park If your first thought at hearing the word “museum” is dusty bins of boredom, you are about to get jolted into a new orbit and add a destination to your bucket list. The Mariners’ Museum and Park in Newport News, Virginia has been around for nearly a century, but in the last few years, the very philosophy of the museum, its programs and displays have enjoyed a startling revitalization, with significant boating and sailing treasures to see, learn about and admire. The “hands-on” folks responsible for this are Lyles Forbes and Jeanne Willoz-Egnor, both long time mu- seum staff. Recently, these two were the instigators creating a large permanent “Speed and Innovation in the America’s Cup” display featuring Oracle, the AC72 that won the suspenseful 2013 America’s Cup in San Francisco. On a summer trip to the Norfolk area, we stopped in at the Mariners’ Museum and learned more about its sailing treasures. Q. Tell us some more about Speed and Innovation. How did you get Oracle, and what were some of the challeng- es it presented? Jeanne: Getting the AC72 Oracle Team USA 17 was pretty much a fluke. We “Just making the AC72 accessible knew we wanted to do an exhibition that would teach people about the technol- and teaching people about the ogy of these ultra-modern boats.
