Tielken, Joost (author)This report contains a future vision for sailing yachts. It differs from many other visions as technology is not used as the basis for development, but behavioural change. The starting point is chosen as the upcoming Digital Nomad culture: Working from anywhere in the world. The thesis is done in cooperation with Contest Yachts, a sailing yacht...master thesis 2022

de Haas, Matthew (author)In this thesis a grey-box model is developed to predict the power increase over time due to marine biofouling. Biofouling is known as the undesired adverse effect of living organisms growing on submerged surfaces. Fouling creates roughness on the hull and propeller and thus additional frictional resistance and loss of propeller efficiency, also...master thesis 2022

Ettema, Bart (author)The yacht building industry is considered an industry with a high environmental impact. Until now, the focus has not been on the impact regarding business processes of the building phase and the excess in resources that are used, ultimately not adding value to the final product. Due to emerging trends in regulations, new sustainable production...master thesis 2021

Lambregts, Taco (author)The reduction of the of harmful emissions that result fromyachting are an increasing concern and priority. It has been widely established that yachts have a significant contribution to the emission of greenhouse gasses and other emissions that are harmful to the environment and the public health. Measures must be taken that drastically reduce...master thesis 2021

Odendaal, Kirsten (author)The adverse human contribution to global climate change has forced the yachting industry to acknowledge the need to reduce its environmental impact due to the client's increasing pressure and potential future regulations to limit the ecological effects. Unfortunately, current real-world data presents a significant disparity between predicted and...master thesis 2021

van der Vliet, Noud (author)This research aims to determine the cost effectiveness of yacht emission reducing ret options through marginal abatement cost curves. A broad selection of five refit options is evaluated and implemented in the created tool. Using multiple scenarios by fluctuating fuel price and the implementation of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), the effect...master thesis 2021

Kries, Maarten (author)Superyachts are large emitters of greenhouse gases, as well as other emissions such as NO<sub>x</sub>, SO<sub>x</sub> and PM. In order to meet the climate goals set by the IMO, to reduce GHG emissions by 50% in 2050, alternative fuels are being investigated. Methanol is an alternative fuels with great potential. Methanol can be produced...master thesis 2021

Letschert, Martijn (author)A trend in current society is reducing the environmental impact of products. One of the industries in which this trend is noticeable is the yachting industry. Yachts with a lower environmental impact are being demanded. Furthermore, regulations are being put in place that are likely to limit the effect yachts can have on the environment. One...master thesis 2020

Koppes, Guus (author)The aim of this research is to create a yacht design for Feadship between 50 and 60 metres that will reduce costs and maintain the customer value. To do so, first, existing yachts are analysed to determine the requirements for the design. Second, an analysis is made of the engineering hours spend on a yacht in this range. Lastly, the engineering...master thesis 2020

Cozijnsen, Lisette (author)This research has been performed with the goal to set up a model for the comparison of the environmental impact caused by the production of yachts. This model is created in such a way that it can be implemented in the YETI, Yacht Environmental Transparency Index, which is currently under development. The model that is created is based on a Life...master thesis 2019

Boonstra, Rep (author)In the early 00 of this century, Keuning et al. (2007) looked into the hydrodynamic forces on the rudder and the influence of the hull and keel on these forces. Among others, they have assessed the lift and drag forces on the rudder. One of the outcomes of this study was an asymmetric lift curve; for negative rudder angles the rudder seems to...master thesis 2019

Akershoek, Rob (author)The aim of this thesis is to analyze if a fully electric super yacht is feasible, desirable and viable. This is done using a “research by design” approach using the current (and future) drivers, enablers and barriers to design a concept.<br/><br/>First, a vision is developed using the ViP (Vision in Product design) method, in order to create a...master thesis 2018

van Velzen, Danique (author)When your dream yacht is being built at Feadship, the process starts with a blank page. This early stage is defined as the Sales phase. In consultation with a designer, the look and the feel of a yacht is easily captured. The expertise of the designer will lead to a yacht fitting the vision of the client. In the current process, the lines drawn...master thesis 2018

Castelo Branco Menano de Figueiredo, Luisa (author)Greenhouse gas emissions’ reduction goals of a 50% reduction by 2050 were established by the IMO. As a first step to achieve this reduction already by 2030 this project uncovers how much of the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions it is possible to reduce by combining the available state of the art technology. <br/>The reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions...master thesis 2018

Roelofs, Koen (author)Yachts are built to provide guests with a unique experience. In order to provide this experience, yachts are often anchored at special locations. Captains prefer to use a single bow anchor when they moor the vessel. Problems are reported with respect to the availability while yachts are at anchor. These are caused by environmental forces....master thesis 2017

Nijhoff, Joost (author)Two important trends can be witnessed in the world of superyachts. Firstly, the luxury landscape is shifting from collecting tangible assets to pursuing exclusive tailor-made experiences. The second trend is the electrification and the use of batteries on superyachts. Due to the increase of emission restrictions, there is more interest towards...master thesis 2017

Kleijweg, N. (author)The technological developments in sailing yacht design and construction over the past fifteen years are tremendous. As a result of these developments, the present methods for the velocity prediction of sailing yachts are less applicable to recent high performance yacht designs. The accuracy of the velocity prediction suffers from this in some...master thesis 2016
