Shipman 50 wins European Yacht of the Year

• January 18, 2004

Matthew Sheahan reports on the winners at the awards ceremony in Dusseldorf

At a prestigious evening ceremony at the Dusseldorf Boat Show on the opening night, the Shipman 50 won the European Yacht of the Year award. The 50 foot performance cruiser also won the award for the most innovative boat of the year.

The aft cockpit deck saloon cruiser designed by Slovenian based J&J Design, impressed the international panel of judges with her creative design and impressive performance under sail. But it was her overall construction and price tag that attracted the most interest.

Constructed entirely from pre-preg carbon using SP Systems’ Sprint laminate, the Shipman 50 uses similar materials in her layup to those more commonly found aboard top racing yachts, but at a fraction of the price with a price tag of £300,000 ex VAT. A large part of the cost saving comes down to her construction in which all the components of her structure are bonded to the hull and deck without using any secondary laminating. Savings are also achieved through the use of the five axis milling machine which produced much of the tooling for moulds.

Of the remaining five categories the winners were;

Under 10m – Dragonfly 920 Extreme, a Danish built folding trimaran with exceptional performance for a cruiser.

10-12m – Dufour 34 – A simple and appealing cruiser racer from one of France’s top production builders

12-15m – Dehler 47 – The new 47ft flagship to the Dehler range

15m – Najad 511 – A bluewater cruiser from Swedish builders Najad

Review of Shipman 50

Basic specs..

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

Unknown keel type

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.36 - 2.46 meter (7.74 - 8.04 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Shipman 50 is 2.07, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 9.0 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Shipman 50 is about 415 kg/cm, alternatively 2328 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 415 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 2328 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 27.77

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 71m 2 (764 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.

• Sailboat Guide

Shipman 50 is a 49 ′ 1 ″ / 15 m monohull sailboat designed by J&J Design and built by Shipman starting in 2001.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

First launched in 2003, the Shipman 50 is a new singlehanded high-performance pilothouse offshore cruiser developed by Joergen Bonde, the Danish owner of Shipman Yachts, and Jernej and Japec Jakopin of Slovenian J&J Design/Seaway. The carbon/epoxy prepreg technology was generously transferred by Bill Green of Green Marine in Lymington (UK), and the materials engineering and supply came from Giovanni Belgrano of SP Systems in Cowes (UK).

Cargo ship that caused deadly Baltimore bridge collapse departs US as owner faces lawsuit

The cargo ship that caused the deadly bridge collapse in Baltimore back in March is heading out of U.S. waters after three months of repair work.

The Dali is departing Norfolk, Virginia, Thursday morning for China on the heels of a lawsuit filed by the Justice Department seeking to recover more than $100 million from the owner and manager of the ship. The suit alleges they recklessly cut corners and ignored known problems that led directly to the collapse.

RELATED STORY | Ship owner cut corners on repairs before deadly Baltimore bridge collapse, US says in $100M lawsuit

The ship was leaving Baltimore bound for Sri Lanka early in the morning on March 26 when its steering failed because of power loss and it collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

The catastrophic incident left six construction workers dead and two others injured. Those killed were working an overnight shift filling potholes on the bridge deck when it suddenly crumbled beneath them, sending them tumbling into the water.

The collapse also temporarily cut off all traffic through the Port of Baltimore, which sees some $80 billion of international trade annually, including more cars and farm equipment than any other U.S. port.

RELATED STORY | Meet the man who captured the Baltimore bridge collapse

More than 50,000 tons of metal and concrete were ultimately demolished and removed. The process required 13 floating cranes and dozens of other vessels.

Officials say they want to replace the Key Bridge with a new structure by 2028.
