HPYD8: 2024 Conference
March 21 – march 22.
HPYD is a series of conferences on high performance yacht design organised by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) NZ and the University of Auckland. The first conference was held in December 2002, and has since then showcased the latest developments in yacht research from around the globe. The conference enables naval architects, engineers, designers and researchers to present and hear papers on the current state of high performance yacht and power craft technology.
This March, Orcelle Horizon project partners RISE and Oceanbird will be presenting findings from the project.

As yacht racing becomes still more and more competitive, designers as well as engineers push boundaries in search of performance gains, but they need to balance the desire for speed against a sense of responsibility to the sailors whose lives are at the edge.
4th High Performance Yacht Design Conference in Auckland
Delivering the first keynote address in the Fourth High Performance Yacht Design Conference in Auckland , Emirates Team New Zealand design engineer Giovanni Belgrano spoke about the demand to constantly push the envelope of design and engineering.
Belgrano, who is involved in the design of ETNZ’s Volvo Ocean Race yacht and the AC72 catamaran yachts for the next America’s Cup , said grand prix yacht racing teams operate in an environment where the edge is not the limit. It is the starting point.
Speaking the day after the Volvo Ocean Race yachts arrived in Auckland after an extremely punishing passage from China , he said: “You look at the sailors on these boats who trust us to come up with a reliable boat, while at the same time stripping every possible bit of weight out of them and you definitely feel a sense of personal responsibility to them.”
Describing the new multihull environment of the America’s Cup as less about yachting than a “giant science experiment”, he said the big catamaran yachts were essentially day sailing yachts, where the consequences of damage were different from ocean racers thousands of miles from land.
The sailors in grand prix campaigns were like “test pilots”, he said. “They need to understand the operating envelopes and blueprints within which they can safely drive these yachts. Consequently, they need to be fully involved in the science and engineering of the yachts so that they understand where the limits are.”
Belgrano said the increasing sophistication of racing yachts placed high demands on their care and attention. “The fundamental point is that when you build something right on the edge, you can’t just push it out of the door and leave it. It is a living thing that demands constant tweaking. You have to give it your complete and undivided attention.
“Ten years ago, I might have been happy to push out designs from my office anywhere in the world and then move on to the next thing. Now it is more like you have to get married to these projects and live with them full time.”
He noted that the understanding of design, engineering, construction methods and materials had greatly improved, but emphasized the need for ongoing vigilance and maintenance throughout a racing campaign.
Better measuring systems and instrumentation enabled technical crews to monitor the forces and stresses on highly engineered structures during and after the heat of battle. More than 100 on-board sensors would be deployed on the AC72 catamaran yachts and within minutes of the yachts returning from racing or trialing, the shore teams would be processing the data collected.
Constant and comprehensive monitoring systems were required. Shore teams needed to be able to track the history of every part from the moment of manufacture on. Non destructive testing of structures and components needed to be regularly carried out, mainly using ultrasound or infrared photography. Every hour of use and the load history of every aspect of the yacht needed to be logged.
Three key factors in the success of a campaign were:
– being able to accurately predict load implications;
– understanding the construction consequences of designs by doing detailed drawings and building working mock-ups;
– pre-empting situations where minor defects or damage could lead to catastrophic failures.
Build teams frequently complain that designers want more and more time to design and sailors want more and more time to train and optimize the boats, squeezing the build deadlines tighter and tighter.
Belgrano said sensible time management was critical. “Don’t spend three weeks designing some clever geometry and then leave just two days to see if it will fit into the overall structure and three days to build it,” he said.
He also cautioned against spending design resources pursuing a concept before establishing that it can actually be built. “I see this over and over again,” he said, “but if you can’t draw it, you can’t build it.”

Dolfiman Senior Member
I propose you information on these conferences held in Lorient (France), named in short "Innov Sail", as I have not seen mention of them in the Forums. The first one has been held in 2008 , the second in 2010, the third in 2013 and the last one in 2017. Innov Sail event is now well established, and the organisers have concluded an agreement with the committees of the two other well-known conferences, High Performance Yacht Design Conference in Auckland and the Chesapeake Sailing Yacht Symposium in Annapolis to coordinate and alternate over the years the organization of the three conferences. The 2013 proceedings and the 2017 programme (not yet the 2017 proceedings unfortunately) can be downloaded in : INNOV'SAIL | Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly http://www.citevoile-tabarly.com/fr/innovsail

 2024 iATP CONFERENCESTRENGTHENING BONDS. EMPOWERING FUTURES Moscow, Idaho | April 1-3, 2024 We are excited to welcome you to the 2024 IATP Conference in Moscow, Idaho on April 1st-3rd! This year we will be embracing the power, purpose, and impact of TRIO communities in our great state. If you have any questions about conference details or registration, please email [email protected] . Tentative Conference Agenda
Get Excited to LearnPre-conference sessions, professional development is personal development: resolving unmet needs to enhance our growth. Join IATP’s very own Amy Christensen for a unique spin on addressing mental health in the workplace. Many Educational Access Professionals function in a resource poor environment over a long period of time. Prioritizing time and energy for our own growth and development often falls to the bottom of the list, and while we want PD, often the opportunities that are available don’t seem to fit our needs. In this session participants will increase their knowledge of critical goals for each developmental stage over the lifespan, learn how addressing previously unmet goals will enhance personal and professional growth now, and create an achievable plan for moving forward with agency. Using Adult Learning Theory as the framework for implementing actionable steps, participants will learn how to identify the ripples of unmet needs in their current behaviors. In a compassionate and non-judgmental space we will explore ways to meet those developmental goals and each participant will create a self-development plan including resources needed, timeline to implement, and possible outcomes. Practical Tips for Health and Wellness for a Busy LifeTaking care of our own wellbeing also includes our physical health. Busy Educational Access Professionals can have long workdays with varied schedules and find it challenging to fit in and prioritize our physical wellbeing. And we may forget that our physical wellbeing is also tied to our mental and emotional wellbeing. Join the University of Idaho’s Health and Wellness Extension team to learn some practical tips and habits to incorporate into your life, whether it is moving at your desk or planning healthy meals. Rather than adding one more “to do” to take care of your health, let’s work WITH your schedule to make it happen. Dress comfy! Hotel InformationThe IATP Conference Planning Committee has reserved a room block at the Best Western near the University of Idaho campus. Please reserve your room asap at the link below. Gala and Silent AuctionJoin us on Wednesday, April 3rd at 6:00pm for the annual IATP Gala and Silent Auction! We will have many amazing items up for auction this year. Check out a sneak preview of some of this years’ options below! We extend a special thank you to all of our Silent Auction donors, be sure to check out (and bid on!) their items at the Gala!

Interior Design is increasingly becoming more important in the design of both high performance racing yachts and slower, more comfortable cruising yachts. The drive for an improved use of internal space within a yacht presents many challenges for the naval architect, interior designer, structural engineer and the builder.
