High speed catamaran and multihull high speed marine vessel have become very popular in the last two decades. The catamaran has become the vessel of choice for the majority of high speed ferry operators worldwide. There have been significant advances in structural materials, and structural design has been combined with higher power density and fuel efficient engines to deliver ferries of increasing size. The multihull has proven itself to be a suitable configuration for active power projection across oceans as well as for coastal patrol and protection, operating at high speedd for insertion or retrieval with a low energy capability. At present there is no easily accessible material covering the combination of hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and design issues including structures, powering and propulsion for these vehicles. Coverage in High Speed Catamarans and Multihulls includes an introduction to the history, evolution, and development of catamarans, followed by a theoretical calculation of wave resistance in shallow and deep water, as well as the drag components of the multihull. A discussion of vessel concept design describing design characteristics, empirical regression for determination of principal dimensions in preliminary design, general arrangement, and methods is also included. The book concludes with a discussion of experimental future vehicles currently in development including the small waterplane twin hull vessels, wave piercing catamarans, planing catamarans, tunnel planing catamarans and other multihull vessels.

This is the first international history of the birth and rebirth of the electric boat and ship from 1835 to the present day. It celebrates the Golden Era of electric launches, 1880-1910. It narrates how, despite the arrival of the internal combustion engine, electric propulsion continued its progress with the turbo-electric ship. It shows how sustainable and hybrid technologies, pioneered in small inland waterways craft towards the end of the 20th Century, have recently been scaled up to the integrated electric propulsion of the largest ocean-going ships.

These two volumes present a unique resource on the history and development of merchant shipping from the last decades of the eighteenth century to the latter decades of the nineteenth. International in coverage - including Britain, the United States, France, Holland, India, and the Middle East - the volumes provide a rich compendium of facts and figures on all aspects of merchant shipping, international commerce and trade, seamanship and mercantile law. Among the topics covered are the repeal of the Navigation Laws, the education of merchant seamen, the progress of steam navigation in Europe, steamships of the United States, steam to India and overland routes, the ships and operations of major shipping companies, and the changes introduced by the opening of the Suez Canal. Lindsay was the leading authority on the history of merchant shipping and these volumes reveal both his wide practical and commercial experience and his impressive command of his subject. Definitive and comprehensive, it remains unchallenged. This two volume set includes a substantial introduction by leading naval historian Andrew Lambert, Laughton Professor of Naval History, King's College London.

R2,574 Discovery Miles 25 740 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Scientists and engineers embarking on their first voyage for oceanographic or meteorological research are often unprepared for the experience. Going to sea involves learning a new language - that of the seaman. This is necessary for clear communications, for the safety and well-being of the members of the scientific party and the ship's crew. The Oceanographer's Companion is intended to familiarize a student with the basics of navigation, seamanship, marine engineering, communications, safety-of-life-at-sea, shiphandling, knots and splices, first aid, and so much more. The book will have a very practical feel with lots of examples.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used extensively in both the military and civilian communities for diverse activities, such as navigation, surveying, remote sensing, asset management and precise timing. Ionospheric scintillations are rapid variations in the amplitude and phase of transionospheric radio signal which affect the accuracy and reliability of GPS systems. This book provides new research on the performance, challenges and emerging technologies of Global Positioning Systems.

Mingming II & the Island of the Ice (Paperback): Roger D. Taylor Mingming II & the Island of the Ice (Paperback)
Roger D. Taylor
R495 Discovery Miles 4 950 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Sailing his newly-created yacht Mingming II, Roger ventures into the Baring Sea and explores the islands of north-eastern Svalbard. During the 55-day voyage to waters seldom sailed in, he encounters everything from walruses to inquisitive humpback whales to massive ice cliffs, and nearly rescues a beautiful Russian girl from Bear Island. On his way back he makes his third visit to the island of Jan Mayen, deep in the Norwegian Sea, and there fulfils a long-held ambition. Acutely observational and well-laced with Taylor's wry humour, the book is as much an exploration of what is possible with one man, one simple boat and one home-made sail, as a journey to some of the planet's bleakest and most beautiful islands.

Nemesis - The First Iron Warship and Her World (Paperback): Adrian G. Marshall Nemesis - The First Iron Warship and Her World (Paperback)
Adrian G. Marshall
R741 Discovery Miles 7 410 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Nemesis was the first of a generation of iron-clad, steam-powered naval vessels that established British dominance in Asian waters in the 19th century. The world's first iron warship, the first vessel with truly watertight compartments, and the first iron vessel to round the Cape of Good Hope, Nemesis represented a staggering new level of military superiority over the oar- and sail-powered forces of Britain's Asian rivals. With a shallow draft suited to riverine operations, and flexible armaments, she originated "gunboat diplomacy" in operations during the First Opium War. While her importance is recognized in the military history literature, the Nemesis' story has not been told to modern audiences. This lively narrative creates a vivid sense of life aboard the ship, and the challenges of the new technology for her captains and crew. The book places Nemesis in the historical context of the last years of the East India Company, and in the history of steam power and of iron ships. It tells of her exploits in the First Opium War, upriver in James Brooke's Sarawak, in pirate suppression and naval actions across Asia, from Burma to Bombay to the Yangtze River and beyond.

For those who own a cherished but dilapidated fiberglass runabout, or for those who want a boat but are turned off by the high prices and often poor quality of todays offerings, this book explains everything there is to know about turning a rundown runabout into a real showpiece for a fraction of the cost of a new model. Author Jim Anderson, a runabout renovator from Minnesotas Land of Ten Thousand Lakes, leads readers through the whole renovation process.

For those who think a project like this may be more than they can handle, renovating an old runabout is actually less complicated and expensive than adding on a deck or redoing a room--two of the most popular projects for home handymen. And Andersons sense of humor and gift for providing simple solutions make Runabout Renovation as fun to read as it is easy to understand.

The backyards of North America house literally millions of rundown runabouts ripe for renovation. With Jim Andersons help, you can own a better boat than you can buy new, for a quarter of the price or less. And like a beautifully restored 57 Chevy, itll have class.

Low-cost alternatives for the powerboater on a budget.

Although more people own boats ranging in length from 14 to 24 feet than all others combined, most books published about boat repair and restoration are directed at the big boat or yacht owner. In addition, many marine dealers and technicians never seem to have the right answers or the time to spend on people who own little boats. Hence Runabout Renovation, a complete guide to finding and fixing up old fiberglass speedboats.

Youll learn how to:


  • Choose and survey a boat
  • Make cosmetic repairs and repaint your boat
  • Replace the floor
  • Reupholster and carpet the interior
  • Build a new transom
  • Upgrade electrical and mechanical systems

. . . and much more. Theres even a section on repairing aluminum boats, and one on installing and repairing horns, lights, bilge pumps, live wells, and other speedboat accessories.

Considering the tens of thousands of fiberglass powerboats that exist today, one wonders why Jim Andersons Runabout Renovation is so late in coming. Whether youre shopping for a used or new boat, or trying to maintain the value of a boat you already own, this book will prove indispensable.--Richard Lebowitz, Editor, Boating World
