So what is this CFD, or better Computational Fluid Dynamics? Is it possible to explain without everyone finding it unintelligible? We could try relying on omnipresent Wikipedia, which quotes “computational fluid dynamics (cfd) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to analyze and solve problems that involve  fluid flows”. And use this as a starting point for complicated explanations. It doesn’t work, Wikipedia will not help us, not this time. Let us try differently. CFD is nothing but applying more or less complex mathematical equations, to describe fluids motions and their possible transformations. When speaking about a boat, we normally consider the fluid volume around her: this volume (known as control volume) must be large enough to cancel, close to borders, any effects connected with the hull presence, in…

Complying with an international pressure campaign against Russia, worldwide authorities have shelved billionaire assets belonging to Putin’s supporters, allies and friends. “Shelving yachts and villas after the invasion”, as White House spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said to journlists, “is just the beginning”. An international task force has worked to identify further assets to undergo the same destiny. Simply, or simplistically, identified with tzar Vladimir Putin, the Red Army were perfectioning their спецоперация spetsoperatsiya, their supposedly optimistic lightning action, while the European Union was also issuing its shelving orders for the oligarch’s assets, most of all their showy gigayachts. Croatia stuck the 92,30-metre Royal Romance, ranking 71st in the 100 largest yachts in the world, built in Holland and belonging to Viktor Medvedchuk. France did the same with Vero, Oceanco’s 85-metre ranking…

Both models clearly reveal their range features: innovative yet practical design solutions, to make a sailing experience as comfortable and thrilling as possible. The two boats were signed by Alberto Mancini, for two new interpretations of the solutions he had himself introduced in the Grande Trideck, sterting point of this new design philosophy. For Grande 26M in particular, its dimension being smaller, the designer invented the new Fold-Up Sea View Terrace to keep sea-contact unaltered. The terrace is obtained by opening the aft hold-door that, while moving upwards, changes into a natural extension of the cockpit. The latter, in turn, becomes a true terrace at sea, whose even and regular surface makes it suitable…

To combine the three elements Canados specifically developed a new, E-Glass and vinylester hull with the vacuum-seal infusion; carbon fiber was chosen for deck and superstructure, so as to reduce weight and lower barycenter. Weight reduction is essential for high performances, this is why structures…

The gulf of Quarnero is a fascinating spot of the Adriatic Sea, showing scattered islands so close to one another to favour sailing ever since the days of yore. However short distances may look, which suggests relatively easy transport, we cannot possibly reckon without bora, the ill-famed wind that occasionally hits this coastal area, and makes sailing tougher in the blink of an eye. It’s a winter wind though, breezes prevail in summer with their day mistral and night borino (light bora). Opatija, the Quarnero pearl Opatija was our starting point, stretching along the slopes of Ukla Massif with its Riviera. An old, elegant, fascinating town whose fame dates back to the end of 19th century. When, to be short, it became a popular destination for noble and wealthy Austro-Hungarian…

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), or computer-based numerical simulation, is growing more and more important as an instrument to define the best shape for a hull, especially when it gets down to competitions. Which is what happened for the latest America’s Cup. Computers guide and assist every single activity of ours, an instrument we could not possibly do without. This being true in everyday life, it is even truer for any design activity, including boat design. When designing a boat, however, computers are not only helpful for the hull, furniture, and all we need for those pictures and videos we dream about as if already onboard. Computers are actually used to calculate boat structures, design them, test stability, cut plates, build parts, components and eventually the whole ship, using numerical control…
