Vorontsov, a 65 m, three-mast schooner being built by Dream Ship Victory Ltd in partnership with Balk Shipyard in the Nether- lands. Our involvement in this project is the development on an existing 53 m hull built in 2005. The yacht is designed for luxurious and comfortable sailing with unrestricted naviga- tion,and will be finished to the highest superyacht standard. Her unique superstruc- ture and deck joinery layout will generate an extraordinary atmosphere, and Dykstra & Partners are also responsible for the deck plan, sail plan and exterior styling. Ken Freivokh has designed the interior for Mikhail S.

Dykstra renewed the construction plans, sail plan and deck layout on this project that is being carried out by Yacht- ing Developments in Auckland. The refit will include a new deck structure, new rig and sails, panamax bestevaer a new deck layout, an engine room upgrade and a new crew interior. Jon Barrett, who over- saw the yacht’s first refit as captain at Royal Huisman in 1989 (which, incidentally, was also Gerard Dijkstra’s first major refit), is project manager for this prestigious project that will result in a ‘ready for battle’.

Although she is yet to even touch water, this 60 m ketch has been a great inspiration both for us and our clients. Following on from the Spirit of Tradition ketch and Bugamena, we are working on a new plumb bowed 42 m sloop. More information about this yacht in design can be found on our website. And while you’re there look out for Annagine, an 34 m classic sloop that will soon be touring the inter- national regatta scene. These are very busy times for the Bestevaer and Bestewind series of cruising yachts, with three new Bestewind 50s and four new Bestevaers in the range of 45 to 55 ft being built by K&M Yacht builders. Two 60 ft Pilot Cutter sloops from the same range are also under construction in Turkey. 42 m sloop in design endeavour for more information see the dykstra & partners website: www.gdnp.nl this newsletter is a publication of dykstra & partners naval architects | www.gdnp.nl | september 2010 expedition ketch long tall sally A sturdy no-nonsense performance yacht de- signed to withstand any challenges that high latitude sailing may throw at her, the Long Tall Sally project is based on the well known Bestevaer series. This 110 ft aluminium ketch will explore destinations well off the beaten track. Below decks, a fully outfitted modern interior will ensure a comfortable stay onboard. The yacht will be the first in a fleet of identical yachts, to be operated under a co-ownership pro- gramme welcoming owners with a passion for adventure sailing.

Such assistance should be a key service to our members and therefore we are instigating access through a special link on the AYH website. Many of us will have started research in yacht club records and club libraries, which are often haphazard and incomplete. We have now started the process of listing significant yachting research resources with their locations, distinctive features, and comments on how accessible they are, and we invite our members to tell us about their Half-model of Peggy Bawn, G.L.

Subsequently BYSTANDER has been cherished as the beautiful yacht that she is: a remarkably untampered-with survivor from another age, exuding authenticity and atmosphere while still offering all that one would expect of a motor yacht of her length; a wonderful size that, depending on experience, requires as few crew as one desires - maybe even none. With her after accommodation reinstated following the J-Class tender days, she continues to offer stately comfort for six guests in four cabins, and to turn heads in Riviera anchorages. But authenticity can sometimes come at a cost, and BYSTANDER OF MAN, whilst in commission, is nevertheless in need of a refit.

  • 'Development of a Vpp Based Rating for J-Class Yachts'
    ‘Development of a Vpp based rating for J-Class Yachts’ Clay Oliver, Yacht Research International, and John Robinson, Wolfson Unit MTIA. Abstract The J-Class was originally one of a number of level rating classes, developed under the ‘Universal Rule’, rating at 76 feet. The class was designated for each of the three America’s Cup series from 1930 to 1937. Most of the yachts were either scrapped or laid up at the end of the 1930’s, but more recently interest in the class has revived. Following refits and restorations, and one complete rebuild, there is now a class association and interest in further builds is strong, with two new boats already well into construction and fit out. For several years, the J-Class Association has run regattas based upon a Time Correction Factor (TCF) calculated using the standard WinDesign Velocity Prediction Program (Vpp). In 2007, the Association transferred the operation of this rating system to the Wolfson Unit both as a measure of independence and further to refine the process. The form and proportion of the J-Class contrast dramatically with those of the modern yachts which have largely driven developments in VPP hydrodynamic formulations in recent years. This paper describes the some new formulations geared specifically to the J-Class yacht, and generally applicable to the traditional yacht. The fact that the keel and hull of the traditional yacht cannot be rationally delineated is an issue and an approach to obviate this problem is described. Data from 1936 towing tank experiments of 1/24th and 1/8th-scale J-Class models are reanalyzed for new J-Class Vpp formulations.

  • History America's Cup & J-Class
    h i s t o r y America’s Cup & J-Class The tradition of America’s Cup races began in 1851 when the schooner America defeated 15 British yachts to win the Round the Island Race in Cowes. Between then and the Second World War, races for the America’s Cup were held on 16 occasions. Leading businessmen such as Sir Thomas Lipton, Thomas Sopwith and Harold S. Vanderbilt went to extremes and spent huge sums of money in order to try and win the ornate trophy known affectionately as the Old Mug. Those who succeeded took on the role of defender, waiting until the other J-Classers determined who would be the next challenger. Due to the high stakes and immense public interest the fight was not always fair, and many protests had to be evaluated by the New York Yacht Club. In these days the America’s Cup remained a battle between J-Class yachts competed for the America’s Cup in 1930, Rainbow, Endeavour, Ranger, American and British yachts. After the Universal Rule was 1934 and 1937. Although the America’s Cup recommenced Endeavour II and Yankee compete established in 1930 the participants were J-Class yachts in the 1950s, the heyday of the J-Class was over and it in the 1937 preliminary race with a waterline length from 75 to 87 feet and a draught of would be more than a half a century before they raced up to 15 feet. It was this Universal Rule, developed by Nat again. The majestic yachts of the 1930s were either Herreshoff, which established a J-Class with more or less scrapped or used as house boats in the mud of the Hamble similar yachts categorised in one class.

  • In a Cloud of Sails -2
    -1- Building A Dream In the 1960s, Canada’s west coast had drawn many people from Europe who wanted to build their dreams. Most dreams consisted of being free of the confines of the crowded civilization of Europe. They wanted to stretch out to build a house, have a family and work in the highly profitable, and dangerous, industries of fishing, mining or forestry. Those who kept their dreams general filled the forest with axes and saws, sweated in dark, dusty mines, or hauled over-full nets on the thousands of trawlers along the coast. A few had a burning in their hearts to control the logging and lumber companies, the mines, or the fish processors. These people worked their way as quickly as they could into the wealthy offices of the owners. Some people dreamed differently. Their dreams did not mesh well with those around them. At times, that kept them on the outside dreaming dark thoughts. A few of the non-meshing dreams jelled into a shape whose fascinating colours and swirls captured the eyes of people who were disillusioned with the standard colour-palette they worked with on a daily basis. One such different dreamer was Alexander Brigola. A big man, Alex could sell you his grand dreams and you would stand before him nodding until you found yourself handing over thousands of dollars, or the equivalent in goods, for the privilege of being a shareholder in his dream. In 1965, Alex’s dream was to build a three-masted sailing ship which throngs of admiring landlubbers would pay to board at ports around the Mediterranean.
