  • 'Flying' Boat 23 May 2015, by Veronique Dupont
    French adventurer seeks Pacific record with 'flying' boat 23 May 2015, by Veronique Dupont shallow waves off the coast of San Pedro, just south of Los Angeles. This is Thebault's first journey in three months on the ship that set a speed sailing record of over 50 knots in 2009, and now he is ready to attempt to best a crossing mark: reaching Hawaii from the City of Angels in under 4.19 days. "We want that record," the fiery and passionate Frenchman said. A key to that goal is to keep the Hydroptere intact. It's broken down four times. "The first challenge is to keep the structure," said Alain Thébault of France, skipper of the "Hydroptère" the sailor. yacht, on a test run in Los Angeles, California on May 20, 2015 "It will work well in flight stability between 20 and 29 knots with three-meter swells," Thebault said. Skimming across the surface of the vast Pacific, Alain Thebault scans the horizon with his blue Breton eyes. He is feeling good. A record is there to be broken. "It's like a magic carpet," Thebault said aboard the cutting-edge "Hydroptere" sailboat, which he hopes to pilot halfway across the Pacific from Los Angeles to Honolulu in record time. Off the California coast under azur-blue skies, Thebault accelerated the hydrofoil supercraft to 30 knots as the 18-meter (60-foot) boat stands on three foils that claw the waves, lifting the hull fully out of the water. Alain Thébault of France stands next to the "Hydroptère" The few passengers cling to the side as they prior to attempting a record crossing from Los Angeles to experience the sensation of flying for a few Hawaii in under 4.19 days moments.

  • The Foil Alphabet
    © Fred Monsonnec for the blog “Foilers!” - https://foils.wordpress.com/ 04/04/2015 The foil alphabet This is the English version of a French article, published in October 2014 on the blog "Foilers". This translation would not have been possible without the help of my friend Nicholas Waller, an independent English teacher and translator with a website at http://www.centpourcentanglais.com (traducteur français-anglais et prof d’anglais indépendant). Open your books, no talking. Repeat after me: C, E, J, L, O, S, T, U, V, Y are the different types of foils that currently exist. Well done! In 2008 I wrote an article about the two main families of hydrofoils, “V-foils and T-foils". Since that article, new letters have emerged or come into wider use. It is now time to update the foil alphabet! Especially since it’s always possible for new forms to appear. After a century of development, we are really in the "Age of the Hydrofoil." You, over there, at the back of the classroom near the radiator, do you want to take off later? Well, joking aside, I’m playing the professor without being one (or an engineer) and this article certainly contains errors, so all comments are welcome. For each type of foil, you will find in this article: . A little history . Some examples of boats equipped with that kind of foil (for hydrofoils, foilers and foil-assisted multihulls, see my definitions in the appendices at the end of this article) . A diagram. I try to show the forces generated: Lift and lateral resistance (resistance to leeway, or lateral plane).

  • Growth, Successes and New Horizons
    GROWTH, SUCCESSES AND NEW HORIZONS ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL Chemical major celebrates 20 years and looks to the future Challengers for the America’s Cup 2021 20TH ANNIVERSARY STRATEGY was simple: to find unloved assets, invest in their facilities, lower the cost base and rejuvenate them. The formula was to prove hugely successful - the acquisition of non-core businesses from chemical BUILDING majors including Dow, Dupont, ICI, BP and BASF helping INEOS achieve phenomenal growth. The foundations were laid and momentum was building. A LEGACY The purchase of the acrylics business in 1999 and chloralkali business of ICI in 2001 had now propelled INEOS to the second largest chemicals manufacturer in the UK. It had sales of around £1bn and around 2,500 employees – one of whom was Tom Crotty, now INEOS’s director of public affairs. “I think the fact we were a private company really made a difference,” notes Crotty. “Petrochemicals is a cyclical business and we were always able to take the long view; we’re not beholden to shareholders or analysts looking at our quarterly results. “Early on, we developed a system for managing our businesses that we’ve applied consistently. It’s a simple approach where we integrate new businesses into the group and apply a very straightforward focus on costs.” With more than 20,000 employees spread across 171 sites Each business operated independently and had its own board – a rarity for a in 24 countries, and sales in excess of $60bn, INEOS has large petrochemical producer, he notes. clearly come a long way since its humble beginnings “We have a very decentralised structure that means we don’t carry the overheads that are typical for a company of our size.

I can’t emphasize enough the importance of a good attendance at the meeting. The future strength of MYCQ is dependent on the support and shared contributions from all members, whether or not you are serving on a committee or sub- committee. There are exciting times ahead for our club. We are all very much aware of the growing multihull ownership within the yachting fraternity. Our challenge is to offer a diverse range of products (fun experiences) to those owners and crew so that they will be attracted to MYCQ. The more ideas that are floated, the more likely that we will find the right formula to grow. So come to our meetings and contribute! It has been an honour to serve as Commodore of MYCQ again this past year. I am very grateful for the support of so many members during that time, and of course, there have been a few who have served the club with distinction.
