Flat Panels: Lessons from the White Rose of Drachs

The 65m motor yacht, White Rose of Drachs, was the first to complete the transition to flat panels by physically removing their old domes, radically altering the appearance of the yacht. Having successfully completed two seasons, we met with Captain Andrew Schofield and key personnel from Kymeta Corporation, e3 Systems and Media Broadcast Satellite to discuss their insight and vision for the wider yacht market. 

What challenges did Kymeta face in terms of development and application in a maritime context? 

Tom Freeman, Kymeta: At Kymeta we’re a bunch of technologists and we didn’t really have a product for yachts. Roger came to Kymeta and told us what was needed for the maritime sector which was great as suddenly we had a requirement for a market. It’s proved a very valuable relationship for Kymeta.

Evolving the technology for the sector has been a challenge – initially we needed new architecture and new algorithms. In the beginning we had separate transmit and receive panels and then eventually we put them together to create what was essentially the prototype of today’s panel.

Mathieu Cros, e3: New builds are a different market – and many builders are already considering going flat. In five years with LEO satellite connectivity prices closing the gap with 4G, we believe there will be a drastic change in the market for flat panels which will change the landscape of marinas.

Roger Horner, e3: Panels do not necessarily have to be mounted on the mast and provide more scope for designers and the opportunity for exceptional design.

Last week I was at the South of France and saw the White Rose of Drachs at Cap d'Ail. She was moored at the place what was first the private berth of Cedar Sea II. And of course I made some pictures of her!

Attached Files:

Zuid_frankrijk_20_augustus_2004 110.jpg.

Her tenders were all store outsite the yacht. She has the same aft garage as Numptia (now New Sunrise)...

Not only her aft garage looks like the one on Numptia, but the whole design of the yacht is based on the design of Numptia . To me the Numptia looks better with her roundings than the White Rose of Drachs.

White Rose of Drachs was built by Kusch Yachtbau in Germany and she was delivered in June to her owner. This was her first visit to the Cote d'Azur. Some days before she went to Cap d'Ail she was also spotted at Saint Tropez together with the Wedge Too.

She is finished in a very high quality just as you may expect from a German yard. Look at how beautiful they made the wood with the spots.

About her interior is nothing known for the moment, but she has an English owner so I think it would look classical English. As one of our fellow spotters saw her with a helicopter making some pictures of her we can expect her in a magazine in the next months.

Her owner was onboard and his guests were enjoying her toys. Her owner is a businessman from England and his old yacht was a 35m Water & Sons.

Some specifications of White Rose of Drachs: Length: 65.00m (213.35 ft.) Beam: 12.00m (39.35 ft.) Draught: 4.05m 13.30 (ft.) Her exterior was designed by Kusch and her interior was done by Donald Starkey. She is powered by twin Deutz Diesels.

She moored this afternoon off the small village of Dalyan, near Cesme, Turkey. A friend phoned me for information on her - she's anchored just off his balcony and he was wondering what she was and who is the owner and what in Hell does "Drachs" mean!

white rose I think the owner is a gentleman from Yorkshire and the 'White Rose' refers to Yorkshire (as in Yorkshire's flag/symbol). 'Drachs' is an acronym of his sons & Daughters names.

The Morning

Affirmative action news is coming.

We’re covering college admissions after the Supreme Court’s decision.

By David Leonhardt

The Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling last year upended admissions at selective colleges. Because they could no longer consider race, admissions officers — with oversight from their lawyers — had to overhaul their processes.

In coming weeks, we will learn about the results. With students back on campus, more colleges will report the racial makeup of their freshman classes. The colleges already have the data; they just haven’t yet announced it ( with the exception of M.I.T. ).

I’ve spoken frequently with university administrators about this subject in recent months. Today, I’ll offer a preview of the post-affirmative action landscape, organized around four points.

1. Variation is likely

Because M.I.T. reported its results first and experienced a sharp drop in Black and Latino students, it may be natural to assume that M.I.T. will be the norm. I’m not sure it will be, though.

M.I.T. isn’t a typical elite college. It focuses on STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — an area where Black and Latino underrepresentation is stark. M.I.T.’s recent announcement also contained a statistical anomaly that may have exaggerated the decline in Black and Latino students (as I explain below).

As more colleges report data, people inside higher education expect a wide variety of outcomes. Some colleges will probably have big declines. Others may have only modest changes.

2. Diversity isn’t cheating

Many conservatives are worried that colleges will cheat by continuing to consider race. Admissions decisions, after all, are subjective, and colleges often know an applicant’s race even though there is no longer a box to check. An article in The Atlantic last year even urged universities to defy the Supreme Court .

But it would be a mistake to conclude that any college that maintains high diversity levels has broken the law.

The court’s decision explicitly allows colleges to weigh the effects of race. “Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration or otherwise,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. The key, Roberts added, was that the student “must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual.”

Remember, there are huge racial gaps in the U.S. — in health, wealth, school resources, incarceration and more. Any college that truly accounted for socioeconomic disadvantage, as more now promise to do , would end up giving credit for overcoming adversity to many underrepresented minorities. That wouldn’t be breaking the law; it would be following Roberts’s orders.

Of course, it’s plausible that some colleges did cheat and secretly gave extra credit for race itself. The distinction is likely to be the subject of future lawsuits.

3. Class isn’t race

There was a detail in the numbers M.I.T. released last week that might seem surprising: Even as Black and Latino representation in this year’s entering class fell sharply, the number of lower-income students rose modestly. About one quarter of M.I.T.’s first-year students come from the bottom half of the U.S. income distribution.

Together, this data suggests that the Supreme Court’s decision may have most hurt upper-income Black and Latino applicants at M.I.T. — and most benefited lower-income Asian applicants. (The number of Asian students rose significantly.)

I’ll leave it to others to argue about whether this combination is good, bad or some of each . It’s certainly complicated.

4. The 120% anomaly

M.I.T., like many colleges, allows students to identify as having more than one race. As a result, its racial categories add up to more than 100 percent; any mixed-race student — both Black and Asian, say — counts in both categories.

Still, there was a strange pattern in M.I.T.’s data. The number of mixed-race freshmen this fall plunged compared with previous years, as you can see from these numbers:

M.I.T.’s Changing Demographics

Share of M.I.T. students who identify as each race

Classes of:

(current freshmen)

Black/African American

International

Asian American

How could this be? There are two leading possibilities.

First, a disproportionate number of the upper-income minority students whom M.I.T. didn’t admit this year may have been multiracial. Mixed-race families are increasingly common in well-off high schools. When these students were admitted in the past, they were counted twice in the data. And each one who no longer enrolls looks like two students in the data.

Second, the timing of M.I.T.’s data collection changed this year in a notable way. In the past, M.I.T. asked students to list their race when applying . This year, it asked about race only after students decided to enroll . It’s possible, then, that students who had a real claim on being a minority but didn’t identify strongly with that group — a white student with one parent from Argentina, say, or a multiracial student with some African heritage — might have been less likely to identify as Black or Latino this year than last year, when race-based affirmative action existed.

The numbers suggest that this anomaly might explain fully half the decline in underrepresented minorities. Regardless, the Black and Latino shares fell significantly, but the drop was probably smaller than the top-line data suggests.

The bottom line

If the overall number of Black and Latino students at selective colleges plummets this year, it will be cause for consternation. It would aggravate racial inequality because these colleges provide big economic benefits and have an outsize role in shaping the American elite. For now, the full picture remains uncertain. As we get more information, I’ll update you.
