  • Cruising the ISLANDS of ORKNEY
    Cruising THE ISLANDS OF ORKNEY his brief guide has been produced to help the cruising visitor create an enjoyable visit to TTour islands, it is by no means exhaustive and only mentions the main and generally obvious anchorages that can be found on charts. Some of the welcoming pubs, hotels and other attractions close to the harbour or mooring are suggested for your entertainment, however much more awaits to be explored afloat and many other delights can be discovered ashore. Each individual island that makes up the archipelago offers a different experience ashore and you should consult “Visit Orkney” and other local guides for information. Orkney waters, if treated with respect, should offer no worries for the experienced sailor and will present no greater problem than cruising elsewhere in the UK. Tides, although strong in some parts, are predictable and can be used to great advantage; passage making is a delight with the current in your favour but can present a challenge when against. The old cruising guides for Orkney waters preached doom for the seafarer who entered where “Dragons and Sea Serpents lie”. This hails from the days of little or no engine power aboard the average sailing vessel and the frequent lack of wind amongst tidal islands; admittedly a worrying combination when you’ve nothing but a scrap of canvas for power and a small anchor for brakes! Consult the charts, tidal guides and sailing directions and don’t be afraid to ask! You will find red “Visitor Mooring” buoys in various locations, these are removed annually over the winter and are well maintained and can cope with boats up to 20 tons (or more in settled weather).

  • Overtopping Hazard Reduction at Churchill Barriers, Scotland
    Overtopping hazard reduction at Churchill Barriers, Scotland Y ZHANG Supervisors: Prof. dr. ir. S.N. (Bas) Jonkman, TU Delft Dr.ir. Hofland. B, TU Delft Dr. ir. Bricker. J. D, TU Delft Ir. Marcel. Westerink, Antea Group Jan-Bert. de Hoop, Antea Group Delft University of Technology Department of Civil engineering and Geosciences, Hydraulic engineering Delft, 2019 i Preface This MSc thesis project is not only a conclusion of my Master study, but also a final harvest of my years of study. At 18 years old, I graduated from the best-grade high school in my hometown, where no weekend, no summer or winter break, and no holidays are allowed, where every student is required study in classroom from 7:00 to 22:00 every day, where 60 students sit in a small busy classroom breathing the foulest air ever. This experience makes me cherish my Bachelor and Master study life as well as its freedom more than anyone else. I appreciate SCU and TU Delft for giving me opportunity to learn knowledge and explore my interest while enjoying my youth. This thesis focuses providing technical advice on overtopping flood hazard reduction at Churchill Barriers. I am motivated to work on topic because it combines my interest in numerical model and risk analysis with passion for flood hazard reduction. To apply knowledge and theory I learned from lecture to a real case is not only interesting but also challenging. I spend plenty of effort to develop an approach that can lead to a solution of research question, which was revised ten of times while realizing it.
