Oceanographic primary researches sailing catamarans.

The purpose of this final year project is to design a sailing vessel which is able to ride seas around the world, except austral seas. The main concept is to imagine an environmentally friendly powered boat first by reducing the entreaty of the generator by using solar cells ,photovoltaic panels and horizontal or vertical wind turbines. The coupling of both systems,(sun and wind) , will produce enough energy for the comfort of life. This concept boat leads directly to a coastal laboratory for primary research sailing boat. The vessel should have comfortable accommodations for 2 skippers and 4 scientists ( accounting that the scientists onboard are already experimented sailing people ). The vessel will include glass panels under the hull working with structural and moving doors once arrived in shallow water. The role envisaged of the vessel should include research works at sea such as archeology and oceanography in shallow water.(Marine wild life logging, photography, filming, primary analysis and scuba-diving activity). The vessel will also be used as a form of transport for a light amount of samples so the vessel would include a crane to carry objects out of water, and as a base for land research expeditions into areas which are difficult to access and which needs relatively small vessel draught to be investigated. The role of adventure charter needs also to be fulfille
