Abstract
In this thesis persistent problems with the shock isolating behaviour of the Jockey Seat are identified and analysed. These Jockey Seat are used on fast planning crafts like the FRISC which is in service with the Royal Netherlands Navy. Past research and existing technology were presented along with two redesign directions. Furthermore, several tools to further analyse the problem in both a static and dynamic setting have been developed.
