Aluminum Catamarans

SPECMAR Aluminum Catamaran Hulls are either symmetrical or asymmetrical in design. A symmetrical hull consists of two basic V-bottom hull structures. Asymmetrical hulls are basically a monohaul craft split down the middle and spread apart. A fOIL assisted cat has a lifting foil between the two hulls to increase performance. One of the advantages of our aluminum catamaran is high initial stability.

SUPERIOR HULL DESIGN

Why catamarans.

Catamaran hull designs are superior because they provide stability, speed, and comfort. They have a wider beam, reducing roll and providing a more stable platform. The two hulls also increase surface area, reducing drag and resulting in higher speeds. Finally, the separation of the hulls provides more interior space, leading to greater comfort for passengers.

Baltic Yachts unveils 33-metre catamaran project

Tuesday, September 24th, 2024

Written by: Marine Industry News

Baltic Yachts has announced details of its first multihull project, a 33-metre (107ft) blue-water cruising catamaran known as Baltic 107.

The Finnish sailing yacht builder, which teased details of the new catamaran earlier this month , says the contract for Baltic 107 was signed in June 2024, and the design and engineering phases are well underway. The build will commence this month with the construction of the hull moulds, and the yacht is expected to be delivered in summer 2027.

It’s the first foray into multihulls for Baltic Yachts, which specialises in high-performance composite monohull yachts. The yard says the yacht is designed for long-range exploration, offering stability, comfort, and high sailing performance, particularly in light winds.

“She will be very much an explorer yacht with exceptionally high levels of comfort, beauty and reliability as well as some groundbreaking developments in efficiency,” says Baltic Yachts sales director Kenneth Nyfelt. “While meeting strict weight targets to optimise her performance and handling, Baltic Yachts will also deliver a quality of finish that is yet to be seen on a multihull.”

Naval architecture is being led by Olivier Racoupeau, interior design by Jamie Bush, design consultancy by Andrea Chiari-Gaggia, structural engineering by Rivoyre Ingenierie, with Patrick Sassier as the owner’s representative.

“With the Baltic 107 Catamaran, Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design is particularly proud to bring the multihull into the world of the superyacht,” says Racoupeau. “Our passionate and experienced team immediately recognised the values of Baltic Yachts . With a wealth of experience in multihulls, it was natural for us to design this exceptional catamaran, sharing the same vision with her owner of elegant lines and performance with volumes that will give access to any destination worldwide in the greatest comfort.”

“For our first yacht project, this hi-tech 33-metre catamaran illustrates a unique design highlighting inventive functionality with modern styling, wrapped in a classic palette of warm woods, crisp whites with pops of sporty colours,” said Bush. “It’s about creating a space that’s at once sophisticated, youthful and timeless for our adventurous clients. Building upon our previous successful collaboration with the owners, we’re drawing inspiration from modernist influences and contemporary design to develop a fresh and unique aesthetic for this yacht.”

Key features of the Baltic 107 catamaran include pivoting centreboards for accessing shallow waters, low noise levels in the accommodation areas, and 360-degree views from the saloon. The yacht’s sailing systems will be operated from crew areas on the flybridge, and Baltic says it will have low energy consumption at anchor, with the ability to regenerate electricity through its propellers while under sail.

“Pushing the boundaries of technical sailing innovation is in Baltic Yachts’ core DNA,” says Henry Hawkins, Baltic Yachts’ EVP. “This project is a great opportunity for us to explore new avenues with partners with whom we are building their first yacht.”

Earlier this year, Baltic Yachts consolidated its operations at a new waterfront facility in Jakobstad, Finland.  The firm reported this move to improve efficiency and reduce its production footprint.

The Sailing Yacht Havana 72 is extremely stable, strong and seaworthy. The hull, deck and structural bulkheads are purpose-built in aluminum for its superior strength and unrivalled longevity.

The aluminum construction also has the advantage of allowing a greater flexibility for customization. The interior layout can be personalized to the customer’s needs and requirements. The sailing catamaran Havana 72 yacht is available in 3 versions. Each owner will find the configuration best adapted for his navigation schedule.

Designed for coastal and blue water cruising, the sailing catamaran Havana 72 features a shallow draft to reach the most inaccessible places and moor in remote and peaceful anchorages.

The living space is vast with two seating areas, in the cockpit and on the flybridge. The wide side decks and flush hatches make it easy and safe to move around the deck. Spacious, the flybridge is also a friendly and comfortable living space with large sunbeds and a coffee table – the perfect place to relax with family and friends. A raising platform can be fitted aft between the transoms for bathing and for stowing the tender.

The saloon of the Havana 72 sailing yacht, which can be adapted to the owner’s choice, is very light and opens widely onto the outside. The telescopic tables allow this spacious and friendly dining area to be converted into a comfortable lounge with a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The size of the portholes has been optimized to offer excellent natural light and fantastic views over the ocean wherever you are in the boat. The galley is extremely functional and well located in the port side hull with easy access from the saloon. The cabins are spacious and impressive with luxurious and versatile accommodation. In the aft portside cabin, the double bed is easily convertible into twin beds.

Created by Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design interior designers, the interior has been carefully designed with elegant lines and refined materials. The rich woodwork, indirect lighting and comfortable sofas create a serene and calm atmosphere, perfect for a blissful relaxation.

Nonprofit organisation Circular Waves unveils 80m catamaran concept dedicated to marine conservation

Nonprofit organisation Circular Waves has unveiled a new, 80-metre catamaran concept that serves as a research platform for marine conservation. The concept was developed in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich.

The design is split into two collection areas which focus on removing "residues" such as plastic and brown algae, which pollute beaches and drinking water. The brown algae would also be processed on land into hydrogen and used for "environmentally friendly" propulsion and water production.

The concept is designed with vertical wind turbines and floatable, rollable solar cells to support the production of clean energy. An on board laboratory would develop breeding programmes for corals and reefs and create a database for recording marine pollution and species impact. Data acquisition and processing would be assisted by AI. 

The skydeck has drone and helicopter capacity alongside an "event area" for hosting talks and discussions on board. Other highlights include a media room with televisions and webcams and vertical "green farming" for further autonomy when cruising.

"Together with the scientists involved, we are restoring endangered habitats, reforesting seagrass meadows and reefs and improving the safety of shipping traffic through AI-supported geodesy projects," said founder Pascal Gerdsmeier. "[This concept] combines economy, technology, environmental sustainability, and innovation to create a forward-thinking concept for the yacht industry."

The catamaran would also be equipped with rescue and tender boats, a submarine and diver equipment. Key numbers include a 38-metre beam and a draft of 24 metres.

Further details will be revealed at this year's Monaco Yacht Show .

“Our focus was to create a design that not only captures attention with its sleek lines but also enhances the onboard experience for owners and guests alike,” managing director of Red Yacht Design Fatih Surekli said in a statement.

With a beam of roughly 36 feet, Livia offers a generous amount of room onboard. The interior includes five large staterooms, with each one opening to a private terrace with sea views. The owner’s suite is even more luxurious, spanning two decks and showcasing a lounge and private swimming pool.

The extravagance continues outdoors. The sprawling sundeck is home to a bar, an infinity pool, and a plush lounge, while the upper deck is adorned with a circular lounge, a fire pit, a giant dining table, and an outdoor cinema. A few more steps below, the main deck sports an epic sky lounge and the beach club is fitted with yet another pool. Wellness buffs are also catered to, with a sauna and gym located on the lower deck. 

Livia will also be quite the cruiser. The yard didn’t go into specifics regarding propulsion, but says the yacht will have a cruising speed of 12 knots and deliver “exceptional performance on long voyages.” 

We’re looking forward to it, too.

History of Khabarovsk Krai

In the Middle Ages, the territory of today’s Khabarovsk Krai was inhabited mainly by the peoples of the Tungus-Manchu language group, as well as Nivkhs. In China they were known collectively as “wild Jurchen”. In the 13th-14th centuries, the Mongol rulers of China repeatedly organized expeditions to the lower Amur.

Russians began the development of the Far East in the 17th century. In 1639, a Cossack troop headed by Ivan Moskvitin reached the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. The first stockade town was built in the mouth of the Ulya River. Later, Vasily Danilovich Poyarkov and Yerofei Pavlovich Khabarov were the first who started joining the Amur lands to Russia. Before Russians came here, the tribes of Daurs, Evenks, Natks, Gilyaks and others lived in this area (only about 30 thousand people).

The area was quickly populated by Russian settlers; new stockade towns were founded. But the process was interrupted due to a conflict with the Qing Dynasty. From the 1680s, Manchus started to fight against the Russian state.

More Historical Facts…

Russia could not move significant military forces to the Amur region and had to sign the Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689). According to it, Russians had to leave the left bank of the Amur River but managed to uphold its rights for the area behind Lake Baikal and the Sea of Okhotsk coast.

In the 18th century, Okhotsk became the main Pacific port of the Russian Empire. Development of the northern coast of the Pacific, exploration of the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin prepared the basis for the return of the Amur region.

In 1847, Nikolai Nikolayevich Muravyov was appointed a governor-general of Eastern Siberia. He did his best to return the Amur area to the Russian Empire. The number of Russians in the region began to grow. In 1858, the town of Khabarovsk was founded.

As a result of the weakening of China during the Opium Wars, two agreements were signed - the Aigun Treaty in 1858 and the Beijing Treaty in 1860. The Russian-Chinese border was established on the Amur and Ussuri rivers.

In 1884, Zabaikalskaya, Amurskaya and Primorskaya regions were united into Priamurskoye region with the center in Khabarovsk. Until the late 19th century, the Amur area was settled slowly. The situation changed in the early 20th century. In 1900, the Trans-Baikal Railway was opened, in 1902 - the Chinese Eastern Railway.

As a result, the number of settlers grew rapidly. In 1900-1913, about 300,000 peasants from other regions of the Russian Empire came to the Amur area. There were three towns (Khabarovsk, Nikolayevsk-on-Amur and Okhotsk) on the territory, which makes Khabarovsk krai today. By 1915, there were more than six thousand settlements with a total population of 316,300 people in Primorskaya oblast.

The Civil War lead to a great number of deaths and economic collapse in Russia. The restoration of pre-war level of economy was achieved by 1926. New cities were built in the region - Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Birobidzhan. October 20, 1938, Dalnevostochny region was divided into Khabarovsky and Primorsky regions.

In 1947-1948, Sakhalin and Amur regions were separated from Dalnevostochny region. In 1953, Magadan region was formed and separated from Dalnevostochny region. In 1956, Kamchatka region became independent too. In 1991, the Jewish autonomous region was separated from Dalnevostochny region.

The available data on the fluorite potential of the Khabarovsk krai, the Jewish Autonomous Region and Amur oblast have been synthesized. Fluorite deposits and occurrences were ascribed to the rare-earth–fluorite, beryllium–fluorite, fluorite–tin-ore, base-metal–fluorite, and fluorite mineralization types. Fluorite also occurs in the ore and phosphorite deposits of the fluorite-bearing mineralization type. The features of their localization in different tectono-stratigraphic areas of the region are shown. Fluorite-bearing districts were identified and their economic potential was assessed. Most promising fluorite occurrences are located along the periphery of the Siberian platform and in the southern part of the Bureya massif. Inferred fluorite resources were calculated and the prospects for their industrial development were estimated.

These Russian stone carvings date back to 12,000 BC. WHAT??!

With its gracious, broad and tree-lined boulevards, well maintained turn of the 19th to 20th century buildings and a lively riverfront, the city of Khabarovsk is often called the most European city in Asia. Nothing in the tranquil city hints of a history that goes beyond the middle of the 19th century, but a short road trip along the Amur River is enough to unfurl a treasure trove of petroglyphs (prehistoric rock carvings) that are believed to date back to 12,000 BC.   

Khabarovsk's city center

The Khabarovsk Krai, which has about 789,000 square kilometers of territory, is one of the most sparsely populated places on the planet. These vast swathes of emptiness are visible when one drives on the highway that connects Khabarovsk with the industrial city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

The Nanai village of Sikachi-Alyan on the Amur River

75 kilometers north of Khabarovsk and just off the highway and on the right bank of the Amur is the Nanai village of Sikachi-Alyan, where the petroglyphs are located. Residents call the village the ‘home of angry spirits’, thanks to the mystical occurrences that many have claimed to witness there.  

History on the rocks 

The area has about 200 petroglyphs, with a significant number being well preserved. The petroglyphs are easily accessible, as they are near the water’s edge on basalt boulders. 

Petroglyphs of Sikachi-Alyan

The best time to visit the area is actually early or late winter (despite the brutal cold), since the overflowing waters of the Amur hide them in the warmer months. Floods and ice floes have also caused considerable damage to many of the petroglyphs. Locals say some of the boulders have been turned upside down. 

The carvings that date from different periods depict hunting scenes, animals, such as elk, horses and mammoths, shamans and shamanic masks and even people sitting in boats.

Russia’s Far East is believed to have been one of the last habitats of mammoths before they became extinct. Among the best-preserved petroglyphs of Sikachi-Alyan, there is one engraving that clearly depicts a mammoth, while another shows a mammoth with an unknown creature. There’s also a large depiction of a beast with a tail.   

Svetlana Onenko, a local historian who is also the curator of the indigenous people’s ethnographic museum and cultural center in Sikachi-Alyan, says the very existence of the mammoth depictions proves that the petroglyphs date back to around 12,000 BC. She adds that the ancient dwellers of this area probably also hunted mammoths.

The older images, dating to the Paleolithic age, were carved out using stone tools. It should be noted that some archaeologists argue that the wild horses depicted in some of the petroglyphs did not exist in the Amur Region even in the Neolithic age.  

The newer carvings, including those of shamans and shamanic masks were used with more modern tools. These images are sacred to the Nanai and other indigenous groups who live in the village with a total population of just 300. Onenko says the members of the indigenous community are descended from the people who carved out the petroglyphs. Some European anthropologists, however, believe that the indigenous people were more recent settlers, who moved to the area around 2,000 years ago from Manchuria.  

An abode of Shamanism  

Neo-Shamanists visit the area from different parts of the world and take part in rituals, which some suspect as being influenced by a cult. Such is the belief in Shamanism in this area that the museum, which has a large number of indigenous artefacts, crafts and ancient Chinese coins, keeps its Shamanic objects in a designated space that is ritually blessed. “Shamanic objects are believed to possess a powerful (and potentially dangerous) energy,” Onenko says.

Locals claim to spot mystic occurrences near the so-called Starukha (Eng.: “old lady”) rock formation. According to indigenous legends, human beings did not die at one point of time, but their population grew so large that there wasn’t enough food for everyone. So the earth’s spirits decided that people, like animals, would also have to die.

The Starukha was apparently the first human being to face death and ended up turning into that big (and apparently haunted) rock. 

First Russian visitor 

While the Nanai and other indigenous groups were aware of the existence of the petroglyphs for centuries, the outside world came to know of them only in 1859, a year after the foundation of the city of Khabarovsk.

This “discovery” was made by Richard Maack, a geographer, naturalist and explorer who set out on an expedition of the Amur and Ussuri valleys. Maack, who was born in the Russian Empire’s Baltic governorate of Livonia, studied natural sciences at the University of St. Petersburg and undertook several expeditions to Siberia and the Russian Far East in the 1850s.

Maack’s main area of interest was botany and six previously unknown plants that he collected by the Amur were named after him. His expedition north of the newly-founded Khabarovsk led him to Sikachi-Alyan, where he spotted the petroglyphs. There are less than a handful of surviving copies of Maack’s book titled, ‘Travel on the Amur river made by order of the Siberian department of the Emperor’s Russian Geographical Society in 1855’, which contains a wealth of information.  

Russian archaeologists, scientists and historians took a great interest in the petroglyphs in the 20th century. In the 1930s, archaeologist Nikolai Kharlamov photographed them in detail. Three decades later, ethnographer and historian Alexei Okladnikov went on several expeditions to the area and wrote about the petroglyphs in detail in two books. His findings suggest that the artwork of Sikachi-Alyan had some resemblance to its counterparts from South East Asia, Polynesia and Australia.

The petroglyphs of Sikachi-Alyan are now among the most visited sites in Khabarovsk Krai. The Russian federal government was declared the legal owner of the petroglyphs in 2018 and efforts are underway to better preserve them, as well get the rock formations listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
