Design Specification Hull Design

• The hull will be a multihull displacement hull with semi circular cross-sections to provide minimum amount of skin resistance. It will feature wave piercing bows for slicing through the water, improving both the comfort of the ride as well as reduc-ing wave induced drag.

• A catamaran structure creates ample quantities of interior space and thus en-hances the luxury of the experience. Another benefit of a catamaran is that it en-hances the ability to get closer to shore, due to its very shallow draft. Meaning greater access to remoter locations which is perhaps not achievable by monohulls of this size.

• With a shallower draft and a lower amount of skin surface friction, this allows for greater fuel economy and is the perfect hull adaptation, for a wind powered vessel of this size.

• Waterline length will be 58.35m

• Length overall will be 70m

• Maximum beam will be 22.34m

• Maximum draft will be no greater than 4.05m

•• It will be constructed from aluminium over transverse and longitudinal frames, the transverse frames will be spaced at 0.5m intervals with a structural bulkhead at every 2.5m

• The hull cross-section will consist of semicircular shapes below the waterline. This is the least stable shape if it was a mono hull, but with the size of the beam, and the catamaran hull arrangement, the vessels stability is notoriously good.

•• The rudders will not be hydrodynamic enough to not constitute to hull drag and be protected sufficiently from all forms of corrosion including galvanisation. The rudders should be big enough to allow for good handling of the vessel and be as-sisted by both stern and bow thrusters. .

Powering and machinery

• A Wally yacht manoeuvring system allowing for a greater degree of control and for vessels to literally move horizontally, into tight and small spaces.

•• Wally anchoring system allows for the anchor to be dropped from a water tight chamber fore of amidships. This allows for curvature and other aesthetic lines to be developed without the contortion of the geometry and placement of a conven-tional anchoring system. Also storing the windlass within this watertight chamber in the bow protects the windlass. (Produced my Maxwell Marine – and seen in Wally Super yachts)

• The engine room will be easy to access and provide the correct safety measures to ensure safety to both on board members and crew

• Engine room will ensure that all obnoxious fumes from batteries and engine ex-haust are controlled and vented correctly with the correct amount on insulation and stacks to prevent noise from travelling to other decks.• Wally’s retractable manoeuvring system will also be used allowing for the vessel to be better controlled in harbour. Conformed of four bladed thrusters at bow and stern, which can be rotated at 135 degrees, that can be lowered in 15 seconds will provide greater manoeuvrability to such a large vessel.

• Hydraulic systems will be used to launch & retrieve the tenders from the vessel, but also be used to open up the extendable deck hatches.

•• The vessel will be powered by an engine via shaft transmission which will be connected to a 4 blade propeller. Generating a top speed 21knots

Design Specification Guest accommodation & facilities

• Accommodation for 12 guests and 8 crew will be provided featuring single births that can be manipulated into double births with ease (for charter purposes)

• Each room should have an ensuite, access to a gym and entertainment facilities as well as internet access and a suitable desk to carry out computer work.

•• Lounge and salon areas should be fit for both entertainment purposes, holding events and conferences

• Stylistically it should stay by Bauhaus principles of form following function com-bined with a new look on oriental minimalist design, with a small tad of the intri-cacy, detail and quality that was personified by Rene Lalique,s Nature inspired jewellery.

• Lounge facilities will feature bars and cafes alongside dining facilities and an al-fresco dining suite.

• A sundeck area and lounge for dining and socialising

• There will be a minimum head hight of 1.98m through out the boat.

Crew accommodation & Facilities

• A fully equipped galley with sufficient storage and equipment and food lift to de-liver food to the upper decks.

• A fully equipped helm featuring all of the necessities for modern navigation with joy stick manoeuvring system from Wally technologies.

• Accommodation for a full time captain and a team of 8 crew. A captain with clear access to his areas of requirement and is also able to manage the helm. .

Decking & Equipment

• The decks should run flush with the hull and the sheer line

• The freeboard should also run flush with the deck

• The deck should be as clutter free as possible with minimal amount of mooring appliances and windlass as possible showing.

•• Guardrails should be 1m high with the side deck around the stern f the vessel should be comfortable 2.3 ms wide.

• All other mooring and safety equipment will be place in water tight compart-ments to prevent corrosion

• The deck will be cambered to allow for surface run off

• The overall deck appearance will be clean lines, clean decks and spacey.

• Sundeck will be complimented with an infinity pool

Design one resolve

Streamlined, powerful and bold are the design styles that have led these designs forward.

This ctamarna is powered by a hybrid system This ctamarna is powered by a hybrid system that is consitituted by both solar and wind energy. With the strong bold segments of the design it is quite evident that Oracle shows a very powerful domena over the other designs in this booklet.

The sharp powerful hull lines are also The sharp powerful hull lines are also encourages by the wave piercing bow and the strong horizontal line at the stern.

All of the designs have been based on the hull of a catamaran.(Please refer to the section called Catamaran Vs monohull.)

Design two, resolve

Luxury some say is proportional to size and this is one of the main advtagaes of a catamaran hull.

The very large free board which invelops the The very large free board which invelops the front portion of the vessel and creates room for yet another deck which runs the whole length of the ship. A deck that is useable as an interior space and offers unique opportunities which is derived from the large sky light, constructed from modern materials such as ETFE cushions which then cpatures such as ETFE cushions which then cpatures the suns energy for the creation of bio fuels and heating up water, conserving energy.

Oracle II is the ultimate in the provision of luxuy space, built and designed with the environment in mind.

Design three, prototype

Lia, in contrast to design number 1 has a very elegant form. Its female influenced lines deliver a degree of grace to the overall style of the vessel.

Still retaining the innovation in having the Still retaining the innovation in having the stern of the ship as close to the water line as possible, it is easy to have a deck which enables the user to have a swim and use all of the recreational facilities on the vessel in a outdoor environment and truly appreciate the beauty that is delivered by the sea.

Combined with a grand entrance to the atrium Combined with a grand entrance to the atrium at the stern this vessel is truly a way to make a big impression and is their ultimate in luxury and style..
