Peters on (Fast) Powerboats Part in Part 1 the Author Detailed a Consistent Approach to the Design Process, Concentrating on Moderate-V and Deep-V Hullforms Peters On (Fast) Powerboats Part In Part 1 the author detailed a consistent approach to the design process, concentrating on moderate-V and deep-V hullforms. Here, he concludes with 2 two additional high-performance hull types for which his office, Michael Peters Yacht Design, is justifiably famous: offshore racing catamarans and stepped-Vs. by Michael Peters In Part 1 (Professional BoatBuilder No. 126, page 38), Peters emphasized Artwork courtesy of MPYD the importance of balance, and the special significance of the K-value, in fast-powerboat design as practiced at MPYD. The K-value is a performance predictor derived via various formulas; Peters favors one developed by Cuban émigré Eduardo Reyes. It’s a constant based on boat type. Another valuable indicator is the speed-to-length ratio. For more on both factors, see Part 1—Ed. However, the boat failed to finish The Racing Cat races. So we made an effort to Racing catamarans of the 1970s, develop a better all-around boat, not and many well into the 1980s, had just a sprinter. a cross-section in which the width of Our next generation of cats, from the two sponsons was greater 1983 to ’90, featured more moderate than the width of the tunnel. Those proportions: specifically, the two dimensions came about because sponsons added up to a little more designers at the time feared their than the tunnel width. These boats, boats would blow over backward at built in Italy, of aluminum, ran at a speeds above 125 mph (201 kmh); reduced speed, but they won races [2]. they didn’t want to put too much lift in the tunnel. But, in fact, their tun- 1 nels, being relatively narrow, afforded little surface area for wing-in-ground effect.

As hardware gets smaller, cheaper and also better performing the possibilities increase for autonomous vessels. Recently there is a lot of research going on with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. Au- tonomous sailing boats fit perfectly into these ambitions. Challenges of Autonomous Sailing Boats Building and programming an autonomous sailing boat holds several challenges: • Hardware challenges: Equipping a robotic sailing boat with microcontroller, sen- sors, actuators and other special hardware needed (e.g. solar panels) is very difficult.

Photo by Chris O’Neill First flown at Grumman’s newly established plant at Bethpage NY on 29 May 1937, the Goose proved to be an outstanding aircraft in both civil and military use. All models were built with variants of the 450hp P&W R-985 Wasp Junior engines. Goose production totalled 345 aircraft, ending in October 1945 at Bethpage. After WWII, military disposals Gooses were in high demand. After civil certification they were put to work in a wide variety of demanding roles, from hauling freight down the Aleutian island chain in Alaska, carrying holiday makers from Los Angeles area to Catalina Island 26 miles across the Bay in the words of a popular 1950s hit song. Others flew as executive machines, carring captains of industry to remote lakes for hunting and fishing. Numerous maintenance companies offered Goose modifications to improve performance or extend airframe life. Prominent among these was McKinnon Enterprises Inc at Sandy, Oregon, which marketed a range of upgrades, including turboprop engines. McKinnon models are detailed at the end of this listing.

N-BOAT: An Autonomous Robotic Sailboat. In Proceedings of IEEE Latin American Robotics Symposium and Competition (LARS/LARC), Arequipa, Peru, 21–27 October 2013; pp. 24–29. Academic Editor: Huosheng Hu Received: 14 November 2015; Accepted: 21 January 2016; Published: 15 February 2016 Abstract: This article discusses a control architecture for autonomous sailboat navigation and also presents a sailboat prototype built for experimental validation of the proposed architecture. The main goal is to allow long endurance autonomous missions, such as ocean monitoring. As the system propulsion relies on wind forces instead of motors, sailboat techniques are introduced and discussed, including the needed sensors, actuators and control laws.
