The 42m superyacht Ocean Supremacy is a Super Fast, Super Green?motor yacht designed ?by Sauter Carbon Offset Design (SCOD). The Ocean Supremacy yacht boasts an incredible maximum speed of 53 knots making her Pirate proof, and her 50% reduction in fuel consumption and 14 knot Zero Carbon Cruising Speed make her the most advanced Eco Luxury Superyacht that money can buy.

The motor yacht Ocean Supremacy utilizes a 9 MW Solar Hybrid Propulsion System? powered? by a combination of Sustainable Sources of energy that integrate and exploit the availability of; Solar, Wind, Wave and Bio Mass Diesel power.

Solar;

70KW Marine solar cell array charging a 2MW Lloyds approved Lithium UPS for Zero Carbon cruising at up to 14 knots or as a power booster.

Wind;

Auxiliary 200 KW inflatable traction Kite for Zero Carbon cruising, charging batteries and increasing cruising speeds.

Wave;

50KW Motion Damping Regeneration system for charging batteries and increasing cruising speeds.

Bio Mass Power Sources

2X V16 (bio diesel compatible) Series 2000 Tier 4i MTU Genset generating up to1 MW each.

The most economical Hybrid Cruising Speed of 18 knots is achieved by employing only one Genset in conjunction with Solar, Wave and Wind power

4XV16 (bio diesel compatible) Series 2000 Tier 4i MTU / ZF Hybrid Motors generating 1.5MWs of power each for speeds up to 45 knots.

Lithium UPS Reserve Power

2X1.5 MW Siemens electric motors powering 2 retractable Anerson surface drives for speeds up to 53 knots.

Propulsion Drives

2 Rolls Royce 1.5MW Waterjets in each of Ocean Supremacy’s wave piercing hi-speed displacement hulls. Each can be driven by the parallel MTU/ZF hybrid motors utilizing the 2MW Lithium UPS and or the 1MW Tier 4i MTU Gensets

The 2 Retractable Anerson Surface drives located in the demi-hull can be driven by the Siemens motors powered by the? 2xV16 Tier 4i MTU Gensets and or the 2MW UPS.

Hybrid Green Power Advantages

The 42 meter power catamaran Ocean Supremacy is more than twice as fast as most Superyachts yet consumes half as much fuel and produces less than half as much GHG emissions by employing a diversity of renewable power sources

The ability to shut down 1 to 6 of her Tier 4i diesels allows her to achieve the very highest level of efficiency with the lowest rate of consumption at virtually all speeds.

Optimizing Hydrodynamic Efficiency

The Hydrodynamic efficiency of hi-speed wave piercing SuperCats is clearly indicated by their incredibly small wave making signatures.

This visible difference points to why the power requirements of M/Y Ocean Supremacy are 30% less compared to conventional hi-performance Superyachts. Ocean Supremacy enhances this inherent advantage by providing efficient Power on demand via variable sources matched to a variable as well as a drag free retractable drive system.

Optimizing Aerodynamic Efficiency

To minimize the effects of drag, the superyacht Ocean Supremacy’s aerodynamic? form is optimized in a Wind Tunnel to insure that a lamina flow is maintained from bow to stern where foils are employed to eliminate the extreme turbulence and drag associated with the vast majority of conventional Superyachts.

A true State of the Art Superyacht

Richard Sauter commented. “Ocean Supremacy is the first Cutting Edge, no compromise Eco Luxury Superyacht of her kind. Operating with renewable sources of energy, she combines the advantages of reserve power for emergencies, more comfort in rough seas, more space for entertaining and the privilege of Total Independence which comes from having an Unlimited Zero Carbon Cruising Range”.

It was a busy day at the Antigua Yacht Club last Friday. At dawn on the fifth day of the RORC Caribbean 600 yacht race, only three yachts were still at sea finishing the course before the Prizegiving celebrations and all of the class winners are now provisionally known. The bar at the Antigua Yacht Club was in full swing, buzzing with stories between the crews as well as songs in a wide variety of different languages.

Team Selene skippered by Benjamin Davitt finished yesterday morning. The Swan 80 yacht Selene sailed an excellent race to claim third place overall and will lift the prestigious Swan Caribbean Challenge Trophy later this evening.

Without doubt, the closest racing for this year’s event was in IRC One. Colin Buffin’s Swan 62 yacht Uxorious IV, was first to finish, but the team did not celebrate a class win. Buffin and his young team knew that Amanda Hartley’s Swan 56 yacht Clem, was extremely close to eclipsing their corrected time. Just over three and half hours passed before Clem crossed the finish line to win the class by just 21 seconds on corrected time. There were ecstatic scenes dockside as the Spanish crew of Clem celebrated their class win. The entire crew of Uxorious IV including Colin Buffin sportingly applauded their rivals. Amanda Hartley spoke of their win.

“We had no idea until we crossed the line and turned on our phones which went crazy with people calling in from Spain. By our calculation we thought we had lost out by five minutes. We got stuck at Guadeloupe for four hours and we could only sit and watch Uxorious get away. We are obviously extremely delighted and really appreciate Colin and his team coming over to give us such a lovely welcome back to Antigua.”

Jaime Torres’ Puerto Rican First 40 yacht Smile And Wave, finished shortly after midnight last night to claim third in IRC One.

Scarlet Logic, co-skippered by Ross Applebey and Tim Thubron, finished the RORC Caribbean 600 shortly after 2300 last night. The Oyster 48 yacht Scarlet Logic has been vying for the overall win for the last two days. In the end Scarlet Logic missed out, but the team had put in an incredible effort and have been rewarded with a convincing win in IRC Two. Scarlet Logic has the best corrected time in IRC One, Two and Three and as a result will be awarded the fantastic prize of a week’s accommodation at the luxurious Inn at English Harbour.

“Fantastic, elated but bloody tired,” admitted Tim Thubron, co-skipper of Scarlet Logic. The weather lined up nicely for us and we were aware that we were in with a chance of beating the big, well funded professional teams and that really spurred us on and made us push even harder. A lot of credit must go to the whole team, especially Ross Applebey. Scarlet was immaculately prepared and we hardly had a single breakage, however we did need to drop the main to replace a sail slide. The job was done and the main back up in eight minutes, that to me says it all.”

There was joy and pain for both IRC Canting Keel and the Class40s. Ernesto Cortina’s Volvo 70 Gran Jotiti finished the race in just over two days. The Spanish team is racing the yacht formerly known as Telefonica Black in the last Volvo Ocean Race. Ernesto spoke about his team shortly after finishing. “This has been a great experience, even though our result was badly affected by a lot of sail damage. Many of the sails are tired from thousands of miles of racing. However, the crew have been a joy to sail with and this race is helping us build for the future. Gran Jotiti’s aim is to create a world class amateur Spanish offshore sailing team and we have learnt a lot through this race.

Ron O’Hanley’s Cookson 50 yacht Privateer, showed exceptional pace and boat handling throughout. Unfortunately the American team failed to start correctly and accepted a 10% penalty from the race organisers resulting in Gran Jotiti being declared winner of IRC Canting Keel.

The Class40s turned into a battle royale between Christophe Coatnoan’s Partouche and Christof Petter’s Vaquita. The two Class40s were locked in a heroic tacking duel for the final push to the finish line, a 40-mile beat from Redonda to the finish in Antigua.

Vaquita crossed the line just after sunset beating Partouche by a slender margin, just 15 minutes in a race lasting over 3 days. However, the Vaquita yacht failed to start the race correctly and to the Austrian crew’s disappointment, the class win was awarded to Partouche: “It was a tough race and we had a couple of moments that really slowed us down,” commented Christophe Coatnoan who raced two-handed with Eric Calmard. “We picked up a fishing float after Nevis without realising and we probably lost 8 miles before we knew it was there. Later at Guadeloupe, I had to dive into the water to free Partouche from yet another fishing buoy. The race was an excellent test for our new design especially for our sails as I think we used every one of them during the race.”

Vaquita’s Andreas Hanakamp commented: “Obviously we are disappointed to have been penalised but we were delighted with our performance. Partouche is a brand new Finot design, whilst Vaquita is a 2006 Akilaria. The RORC Caribbean 600 is a testing race course and a very tough race, exactly what we needed to prepare for our main competition of the season, The Atlantic Cup later this year.”

The latest competitor to finish the RORC Caribbean 600 is Bernie Evan-Wong’s Mumm 36 sailing yacht High Tension. Falmouth Harbour exploded with noise as the smallest yacht in the race tied up right outside the Antigua Yacht Club. Thunderous blasts from megayachts, superyachts and foghorns literally shook the dock as the whole of the sailing community in Falmouth heralded the arrival of local hero Bernie and his crew.

“I said we would be here tonight but I always like to be early for appointments,” joked the Antiguan dentist. “It was a hard but satisfying race and the beat from Redonda to the finish seemed to take forever. We could see Antigua but it just didn’t seem to be getting any bigger, however a few miles out a massive rain squall hit and veered the wind favourably for us to speed our way to Antigua. After last year’s dismasting, I think maybe someone was looking out for us!”

Rivergate Marina and Shipyard, Murrarie are well under way with the preparations for Brisbane’s only on water boat show to be held under idilic spring skies from October 5 to October 7, 2012.

As Brisbane aims to deliver fresh experiences and fresh adventures, this event will deliver a fresh approach by offering a program that features a strong boating and marine exhibitor focus plus activities and fun for the whole family.

The show will feature boats of all sizes. There’ll be spectacular super yachts, luxury cruisers, power and sail boats, fishing boats, inflatable boats, recreational water craft, jet skis, marine accessories, chandlery and more.

There will also be a sea trial area where boat show visitors can ‘try’ before they buy.

General Manager, Tracey Toovey is thrilled to be leading the team putting together this inaugural show.

“After 18 months of planning, it is exciting to be receiving positive feedback from exhibitors who agree that participating in an ‘’on water’’ show located beside the majestic Brisbane River offers great advantages and opportunities.

“The dramatic backdrop of the Gateway Bridge and close proximity to the city centre, together with an abundance of ‘free’ parking nearby and the choice to arrive by water (allowing visitors to travel to and from the show easily) combine to offer an event like no other,” said Tracey.

Whilst the show will have a strong boating and marine exhibitor focus, organisers are keen for it to be a family friendly event and are currently working on a program that will include many other elements that traditional ‘purist ‘marine events do not offer.

Tourism, Manufacturing and Small Business Minister Jan Jarratt congratulated the Rivergate International Boat Show team for getting their big idea off the ground and onto the water.

“A dynamic events calendar is what makes Brisbane such an amazing place to visit and to live,” Ms Jarratt said.

“With a jam-packed and growing events calendar, it’s a hot spot for visitors and for local residents alike and I wish the Rivergate Boat Show team every success.”
