  • A Comparative Evaluation of a Hydrofoil-Assisted Trimaran
    COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF A A HYDROFOIL-ASSISTED TRIMARAN Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING By Ryno Moolman Supervisor Prof. T.M. Harms Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Stellenbosch Co-supervisor Dr. G. Migeotte CAE Marine December 2005 Declaration I, the undersigned, declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and has not previously, in its entirety or in part, been submitted at any University for a degree. Signature of Candidate Date i Abstract This work is concerned with the design and hydrodynamic aspects of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran. A design and configuration of a trimaran is evaluated and the performance of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran is effectively compared to the performance of a hydrofoil-assisted catamaran with similar overall displacement and same speed. The performance of the trimaran with different outrigger clearances are also evaluated and compared. The hydrodynamic aspects focuses mainly on the performance and to a lesser extend on the sea-keeping and stability of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran. The results were determined by means of experimental testing, theoretical analysis and numerical analysis. The project was initiated as a result of the success of the hydrofoil-assisted catamarans and due to the fact that there does not exist a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran (to the author’s knowledge) where the main focus of the foils is to significantly reduce the resistance. A brief history, recent developments and associated advantages regarding trimarans are discussed. A complete theoretical model is presented to evaluate the lift and drag of the hydrofoils, as well as, the resistance of the trimaran.

  • Manoa Heritage Center – Visitor Education Hale Honolulu, HI, USA
    Project Name: Manoa Heritage Center – Visitor Education Hale Location: Honolulu, HI, USA Project Narrative: The Visitor Education Hale is the final piece of the Manoa Heritage Center master plan. It will serve as a flexible classroom for the thousands of visitors who come to MHC to experience for the ancient Hawaiian temple, Kuka'o'o heiau and well as the endemic and indigenous collection of Hawaiian plans. It also provides for the MHC administration as well as public restrooms. Please refer to the slides for the complete story about the research, design and execution of the project including a strong emphasis on sustainable design & practices. Sustainability Narrative: Manoa Heritage Center is the caretaker to one of Hawaii's most priced Hawaiian artifacts, Kuka'o'o heiau (temple). Kuka'o'o is an agricultural heiau that is believed to have been constructed during 10th century. Strategically placed in the Waikiki ahupua'a (ancient Hawaiian land division from the mountains to the sea), Kuka'o'o heiau served as a temple for both worship and to study the cosmos related to the Hawaiian lunar calendar which determined the wet & dry seasons as well as the monthly planting & harvesting schedule. Today, Kuka'o'o heiau symbolizes the 600-800 years of sustainable living for ancient Hawaiians prior to western contact and is why sustainability was a major priority for this project. One of our major project goals was to create a Visitor Education Hale with a net zero carbon footprint and provide an educational curriculum for the school children & adult visitors who come to visit MHC.

  • Sail Power and Performance
    the area of Ihe so-called "fore-triangle"), the overlapping part of headsail does not contribute to the driving force. This im­ plies that it does pay to have o large genoa only if the area of the fore-triangle (or 85 per cent of this area) is taken as the rated sail area. In other words, when compared on the basis of driving force produced per given area (to be paid for), theoverlapping genoas carried by racing yachts are not cost-effective although they are rating- effective in term of measurement rules (Ref. 1). In this respect, the rating rules have a more profound effect on the plan- form of sails thon aerodynamic require­ ments, or the wind in all its moods. As explicitly demonstrated in Fig. 2, no rig is superior over the whole range of heading angles. There are, however, con­ sistently poor performers such ns the La­ teen No. 3 rig, regardless of the course sailed relative to thewind. When reaching, this version of Lateen rig is inferior to the Lateen No. 1 by as rnuch as almost 50 per cent. To the surprise of many readers, perhaps, there are more efficient rigs than the Berntudan such as, for example. La­ teen No. 1 or Guuter, and this includes windward courses, where the Bermudon rig is widely believed to be outstanding. With the above data now available, it's possible to answer the practical question: how fast will a given hull sail on different headings when driven by eoch of these rigs? Results of a preliminary speed predic­ tion programme are given in Fig.

  • Hawaiian Star Compass Wa'a Alaka'i Hōkūle'a E'ala
    Voyaging Petroglyph Artwork “We were born to be free and the canoe is a symbol of that freedom because it allowed us to go where we needed to go to exercise our beliefs and culture. Everybody on the canoe is important; everybody has a job with all of those jobs working in unity to accomplish the voyage. The canoe is a symbol of coming together and for that we honor the canoe.” ~ Kauila Clark, Native Hawaiian Artist HAWAIIAN STAR COMPASS Traditional Polynesian navigators depended on all of the natural elements in order to navigate. They used the stars and when those were obscured they used other indicators such as the waves, the wind, the birds, dolphins and other sea life. That created a close tie between the people and nature and reinforced their trust in Io, the Creator. Traditional Navigators today must develop that same close connection to nature. The Hawaiian star compass, developed by Master Navigator Nainoa Thompson, is not a physical compass, but a mental construct that helps the navigator memorize the rising and setting positions of stars, flight paths of birds, directions of the waves and other signs in nature needed to find their way. In the center of the Hawaiian star compass is Manu (Bird) with his beak, tail and outstretched wing-tips pointing midway between the four cardinal directions. WA‘A The wa‘a is the Hawaiian word for the traditional carved canoe with the distinctive outrigger (spars attached to a shaped log or float parallel to the hull) that helped stabilize the canoe. The single-hull version served as the workhorse for Native Hawaiians and their Polynesian ancestors and was used for recreation, fishing and short trips around the island.

  • The Boats of the Tawi-Tawi Bajau, Sulu Archipelago, Philippines
    The Boats of the Tawi-Tawi Bajau, Sulu Archipelago, Philippines Received 20 February 1990 H. ARLO NIMMO ISLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA has perhaps the greatest variety of watercraft of any culture area in the world. Through centuries of adaptation to tropical riverine and maritime environments, the people of this island world have created hundreds-indeed, prob­ ably thousands-of different kinds of boats. The primitive rafts that first transported the early inhabitants to offshore islands evolved into the sophisticated sailing vessels that allowed this population to become the most far-flung on earth before the expan­ sion of European cultures. By the time Europeans began to venture beyond their shores, Austronesian speakers had spread throughout all of Island Southeast Asia, west to Madagascar, north to Taiwan, and east to Micronesia, parts of Melanesia, and the outposts of Polynesia. Perusal of a map of Island Southeast Asia explains the proliferation of watercraft in this area. Thousands of islands make up the modern nations of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, and one can sail within sight of land throughout the entire area before reaching its outer limits. The lure of these islands to the always curious human mind as well as the abundant food resources in their surrounding waters were doubtless prime motivators for the first boat-builders-as indeed they continue to motivate contemporary boat-builders. Virtually all islands large enough to accommodate human populations are inhabited, and some have been so for mil­ lennia. The separation of human populations by expanses of water, as well as the diverse currents of history that have moved through the area, has resulted in a rich mosaic of distinctive cultures.
