das Original!

Ocean Race Charter in Rostock

Mitsegeln auf einer Legende

Willkommen an Bord eines echten Ocean Racers! Durch die Teilnahme an der härtesten Segelregatta, "The Ocean Race" wurden unsere V.O.60-Rennyachten jede für sich schon zu einer Legende. Atemberaubende Geschichte(n), unzählige Rekorde und spektakuläre Bilder sorgten für die Aufnahme in den erlesenen Kreis der berühmtesten Offshore-Rennyachten der Segelgeschichte. Die Namen und Zahlen sprechen für sich...

Segeln auf der Siegeryacht

Allen voran die ehemalige ILLBRUCK. Sie ist die erste und einzige deutsche Hochseeyacht, die das legendäre Ocean Race je gewinnen konnte. Während des härtesten Rennens rund um die Welt im Jahr 2002 stellte das ILLBRUCK-Team um Skipper John Kostecki gleich zwei Weltrekorde auf: den 24-Stunden-Weltrekord (484 Meilen = 896 km) und den speed-Weltrekord für Einrümpfer (38,98 Knoten = 72 km/h!).

Identische V.O.60 Rennyachten

Auch das baugleiche Schwesterschiff OSPA (ex-SEB) steht der Siegeryacht in nichts nach und hat beim Ocean Race ebenfalls 24h-Rekorde erreicht. Unsere Rennyachten gehören zur V.O.60-Klasse und sind damit nahezu identisch in Sachen Aufbau, Speed und Handling.  Das macht sie besonders interessant im direkten Vergleich (z.B. bei MatchRace- und Teamevents).

Checken Sie ein auf den schnellsten Rennyachten im Ostseeraum!

Ocean Racer (V.O.60 Klasse)

Stark, robust und schnell - eine Klasse für sich!  Die Bezeichnung V.O.60 steht für (urspr. V olvo) O cean Racer mit 60 Fuß Länge.  Allen voran die ehemalige ILLBRUCK. Die berühmteste deutsche Hochseeyacht gewann die härteste Segelregatta, das " The Ocean Race " mit dem grandiosen Zieleinlauf auf der Kieler Förde im Juni 2002, eine Sternstunde der deutschen Segelgeschichte, an die sich nicht nur Segelenthusiasten voller Begeisterung erinnern. Bei uns können Sie selbst am Steuer dieser Legende stehen und (übrigens auch als Nichtsegler!) nacherleben, wie diese ultimativen Rennmaschinen auf dem Wasser mit ihren zahlreichen Besonderheiten und Superlativen in Schwung gebracht werden!

Rennyacht-Segeln in Rostock

Die ILLBRUCK und ihre identische Schwesteryacht OSPA können bei idealem Trimm und Wind Höchstgeschwindigkeiten von weit mehr als 30 Knoten erreichen. Der Speedweltrekord von der ILLBRUCK beim Ocean Race 2002, liegt bei 38,98 Knoten, das sind ca. 72 km/h! Die Ocean Racer gehören zur Einheitsklasse "V.O.60" (steht für 60 Fuss Volvo Ocean Racer) und bilden das speedsailing-Kernstück. Allein schon dieses Angebot ist bereits einzigartig. Nirgendwo sonst auf der Welt stehen baugleiche Rennyachten dieser Größenordnung auf dem maritimen Eventmarkt bereit.

Aboard the one and only German Volvo Ocean Race Winner

• September 9th, 2020
• Sailing Yacht

It was a hot summer´s day back in June this year when I visited Oliver Schmidt-Rybandt in Rostock at his “Speedsailing”-base near the city center. I went there to take a closer look at Dehler´s new 30 OD One Design which had already caught my imagination back in Cannes on her world premiere. Upon walking along the pontoon I noticed three large sailing yacht. True racers for which Speedsailing initially was best know for: Prior to becoming a Sales Agent for Dehler 30 OD this company was founded to keeping alive legendary racing yachts and offer a true racing experience to people. Their crow jewel of course is the GLASHÄGER, better know under her previous name, ILLBRUCK.

After Oliver showed me around on the Dehler 30 OD for more than two hours in detail, we walked back to the shore and came by the yacht. “Wanna take a look inside?”, he offered. Well, what a question? Of course I wanted! So I climbed aboard that 60 feet behemoth and instantly felt kind of being drawn into the amazing story of that yacht. For me as a German the name ILLBRUCK has a very special tone to it: She is the first, one and to date only German boat to ever win the Volvo Ocean Race. As I said: A true legend.

Inside ex-ILLBRUCK

The boat has been drawn as part of the one-design V.O.60-class and was built prior to the 2001 race. The campaign however was financed by German businessman Michael Illbruck who in turn is the son of Wilhelm Gustav Illbruck, a sailing legend and sponsor of Admiral´s Cupper PINTA who won the race in 1983. So, here we are aboard that classic. When I went down into what on other yachts is called the “saloon” it was almost like a magic moment: How many hundred times must have the crew of 2001/2002 Volvo Ocean Race come down and up the Kevlar-made “steps” of the companionway?

Down below the boat shines in yellow. The unmistakable hint of the boat´s prime material: Kevlar. Before the Carbon fibres became common sense in boat building it was a class rule of the V.O.60-boats to be built with Kevlar. This was the state-of-the-art stuff as it had a much higher impact resistance – back in those days there haven´t been any route-limitations for the crews, called “ice gates”, and so the boats were made as strong as possible to withstand possible impacts with growlers. The ex-ILLBRUCK weighs in 13.5 tons which is half the displacement of the Oceanis Yacht 62 ! Her bulkheads cling, making a strange sound when I knocked on it. Like being under some kind of tension. The strange yellow color of the unpainted, bare material instills a feeling of raw, naked power. Made for one sole purpose: Going fast.

The ILLBRUCK – now re-christened GLASHÄGER in honor for her new sponsor, a German mineral water brand – had the top-equipment available back in the days. The early 2000 years, sounds as if they had been passed by just the other day, in reality, that´s twenty years ago. In 5 years that will be a quarter century! A modern boat of her time, the pinnacle of yacht design and materials, today a slight scent of being antiquated – in the best sense of the word!

Unimaginable living conditions

Just like humans in a WW2 uboat , the crew of ILLBRUCK was not the primary concern when the yacht had been conceived. Everything on this boat seems to be envisioned and then made to make her go fast. Living conditions, human demands, comfort – these are words which did not play a single role in construction phase. Simple lightweight, slim and most certainly uncozy berths made of pipes plaster the hull walls.

A net makes the mattress. That´s it. A simple lashing can adjust the berth to the heeling and tack of the boat, that´s it. The crew probably had simple sleeping bags, most certainly wet and cold, a makeshift pillow, maybe the oilskin . There is no privacy here whatsoever, no cabins nor simple curtains or blankets. It must have been a hard trial being part of ILLBRUCK´s crew for sure.

I contemplate the water closet, cramped in a somewhat shadowy corner, half shadowed by a bulkhead, recessed into the hull. The ceramics would have been adjusted to counter the heeling as well and – although I cannot see one – I hope the crew would had made up for a blind, a curtain or something: As a guy obsessed with having at least two closed doors between me and civilization when taking a dump, this WC would most certainly have been my “Nope, thanks!” when being asked to join the crew.

A racing veteran

Apart from that, the ILLBRUCK has some pretty impressive features still valid. The nav station for example. Navigation back in the day already had been satellite-driven and digital, weather routing and evaluating weather data the digital way by means of a computer was available. So the navigator had his dedicated “nav station” in front of a screen rather than sitting on an old-fashioned chart table .

The Diesel-tank which makes up for the seating of the navigator are tilted in a way that when sailing heeled the navigator would sit upright. I took the seat and closed my eyes for a short minute: I tried to imagine the sound of the waves smashing against the hull, the flow of water alongside – ILLBRUCK´s speed record still stays at whopping 39 knots, which is 72 kilometres per hour. Just try to imagine the sound, roaring winds in the rigging from above, crashing waters from below. Around the world!

Carbon indeed was part of the boat. I spotted the typical matte-black color in form of the power train from the huge grinders to the winches. Again I tried to imagine the sound when two people turn the winches with full power and the clacking and cracking noise of the tubes transmit throughout the boat. It´s a loud awkward sound in normal cruising yachts, just think of it manyfold stranger on this racing machine!

Keeping the legend alive

Oliver is seemingly proud: Along with ex-ILLBRUCK the company owns two more V.O.60, which is ex-SEB (now OSPA) and ex-TOSHIBA (which is now ROSTOCKER). Three V.O.60 yachts identical in construction: The boats can be chartered and match raced under real conditions, skippered by the Speedsailing team. The spirit of racing lives inside the boats, the team around Oliver is creating this worldwide unique atmosphere of high-class offshore racing – and it´s just a one hour drive from my home town!

When I left Oliver after thanking him for his time, I looked back onto this proud fleet. Well maintained and often raced, these veterans of offshore racing are not rusting on a pier or being put on dry stand, de-masted, de-capitated. They keep the spirit alive and – by judging from the atmosphere I was able to grasp there among the Speedsailing-staff – they all love what they do in providing a unique experience. Sitting in my car, driving back home I make a not to myself: “Ask the boss if we could do a match race on these as a big event for our staff.” Maybe as a company´s birthday present.

ILLBRUCK at her big time has been under the command of legendary U.S.-skipper John Kostecki. The first, one and only German boat to ever win this highly well endowed race sported a crew of 12 people of which just one had been German. Nobody cared whatsoever: After setting up a world record of 484 miles in 24 hours and winning the toughest offshore race to date, the boat arrived in Kiel in 2002, being frantically greeted by a fascinated nation. I thought I had heard an echo of this down in her hull. What a chilling cool experience!

Thanks for the tour, Oli!

Illbruck Sets 24-Hour Monohull World Speed Record

• By Rachel Anning
• Updated: May 15, 2002

Illbruck Challenge goes into the record books after officially receiving ratification that they have set a new world record, for the greatest distance sailed in 24 hours by a Monohull. The record of 484 nautical miles was completed at 20:02 on April 30 during Leg 7 of the Volvo Ocean Race and was confirmed by the World Speed Sailing Record Council.

On arrival in La Rochelle, skipper John Kostecki praised his crew, and put the record win down to perfect conditions and great teamwork: “It’s an incredible feat which we’re all really proud of. It was 12 guys on the boat with a real team effort, and people on shore helping to maintain and fix the boat. The crew was fantastic and did a great job, pushing the boat hard and making efficient sail changes. They kept the boat going fast. The goal was to win leg 7, but it worked out perfectly with the right conditions to break the record.”

The ideal conditions arose from 20-25 knots of wind and the added push of the Gulf Stream. As illbruck left Chesapeake Bay, the team immediately started to put miles on the competition. A slight course alteration seemed an advantageous decision, picking up stronger north-westerlies, while staying in the strong current. “The Gulf Stream gave us two or three knots of extra push. Our average speed was 20 knots over the ground, although at times we were a lot faster, to over 30 knots,” said Kostecki.

Out in the Atlantic, the crew didn’t have much time to celebrate, however, and had to keep on racing: “We talked about it for a few minutes but couldn’t celebrate till last night after finishing Leg 7,” joked Kostecki on arrival in La Rochelle. “It’s an incredible record to hold and I’m extremely happy and proud to be the skipper of this award-winning yacht. It’s great to have a sponsor like EDS involved with our sport and it’s fantastic they promote this record.”

The average speed of 20.16 knots, with many periods reaching over 27 knots, caused no problems for the crew as they alternated three spinnakers on the fast reaches: “At 20 knots we had a lot of water on the boat,” Kostecki continued. “When you are going that fast, the boats do get wet. Ninety percent of the time the boat is wet, although the crew are used to it. There were no breakdowns, technical problems, it all went smoothly. Going at 30 knots is quite impressive for a Volvo 60 and you know you’re going fast.”

Illbruck’s victory in this transatlantic leg awards the team a further 8 points. Neal McDonald, skipper of ASSA ABLOY, who finished the leg second, said: “illbruck sailed the perfect race. They were smarter and they arequick in these conditions. We sailed well but they are a hard act to beat.”

John Kostecki hopes so. With just two more smaller legs of the race remaining, he believes they’ll hold the record for some time: “You need ideal conditions like the Gulf Stream push to beat this record. “One of the new maxis being built, or 80ft sleds being built in California, or maybe one of the Open 60s actively racing could quite possibly break the record.”

illbruck Sets 24-Hour Distance Record

• By The Editors
• Updated: April 30, 2002

John Kostecki and the crew of the Volvo 60 illbruck , a Farr design currently leading the Volvo fleet on points and on the transatlantic Leg 7 of the Volvo Ocean Race, have claimed a new 24-hour speed record. According to a release from the Farr Yacht Design office, Kostecki and his team sailed the green and white 60-foot monohull 473 miles in 24 hours at an average speed of 19.708 knots. This claim tops the 467.7-mile record set by Bernard Stamm and the crew of the Open 60 Armor Lux , set in 2001 during a record New York to England Transatlantic passage.

The new record is still provisional, pending review by the World Sailing Speed Record Council. http://www.volvooceanrace.org, http://www.sailspeedrecords.com/

Pinta Husavik sold

De valk sells legendary illbruck yacht.

De Valk Hindeloopen, a member of the De Valk International brokerage group, has sold Pinta Husavik (ex. Pinta Smeralda), the final private sailing yacht of the late Willy Illbruck. This pioneering vessel, which benefits from the decades of experience built up by Illbruck during his illustrious career, is now being enjoyed by her new Dutch owners.

Launched in 1997 by Marten Marine in New Zealand, the customised Pinta Husavik was a trend-setter in the move towards fast yachts with clean decks and a small crew.

“As one of the industry leaders in Germany, Mr Illbruck shaped much of the German sailing industry by his leading edge in developing and building racing yachts for the German Pinta teams,” explains senior broker Hans Visser from De Valk Hindeloopen, who negotiated the sale.

“Only the best was good enough for this Admiral’s Cup winner and you can see what that meant in practice onboard Pinta Husavik. The fact that the yacht can be sailed at full potential with only two people on board was an enormous plus point for the experienced Dutch couple that now owns her.”

Creating a master craft

Irish boatbuilder killian bushe is one of the best in the world - the boats he builds must brave the winds of the deep southern….

Irish boatbuilder Killian Bushe is one of the best in the world - the boats he builds must brave the winds of the deep Southern Ocean and people's lives depend on them. He talks to Mike Wilson about his love of boats and the illbruck, which recently won the round-the-world Volvo Ocean Race

Irish race sailing is at the top of its form at the moment, with Peter Bayly and William Atkinson winning the world mirror dinghy championships in home waters off Howth last year, the announcement that the Admirals Cup is to be staged in Ireland next year, and a host of Irish sailing talent - including Laura Dillon, Maria Coleman, David Burrows and Mark Mansfield - all riding high in the world rankings in their respective classes.

More specifically, with Tom Fitzpatrick and Fraser Brown winning the 49er class at the prestigious Kiel Week in Germany and the announcement of almost €250,000 of new funding from the Irish Sports Council for the Irish elite squad, the forecast is set fair for a period of unprecedented success for Irish sailing.

And then there was the Volvo Ocean Race, the first major round-the-world challenge of the 21st century, 32,700 nautical miles, nine months, four continents, nine legs and six seasons, the toughest race on earth, the blue-riband race for the top professional sailors in the world.

Five Irishmen competed - Dubliner Noel Drennan and Ulsterman Ian Moore emerged victorious on the clear favourite and eventual winner, Illbruck Challenge, with compatriots Gordon Maguire and Justin Slattery on News Corp and Kerryman Damian Foxall on Team Tyco.

But there was a sixth Irishman, boatbuilder Killian Bushe who, arguably, played the vital role in the Illbruck German triumph.

He built the boat, his second round-the-world project, his first was NCB Ireland, on which he also sailed in the 1989/90 Whitbread round-the-world-race.

The 47-year-old, Cork-born boatbuilder learned his craft under the tutelage of his father George, who built boats in a shed on the beach at Ringaskiddy in the 1950s and 1960s, before moving to more salubrious surroundings as head builder at the South Coast Boat Yard, at Rochestown, Co Cork.

The young Killian, along with brother Mark - another boatbuilder with his own yard, specialising mainly in traditional wooden craft in Carrigaline, Co Cork - watched in awe as their father produced some of the most famous yachts in Irish sailing, including Golden Apple, Golden Shamrock, Irish Mist, Midnight Sun and Silver Shamrocks, in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Indeed, Bushe senior (80) as recently as last year completed his latest project, his own design, a 17ft gaff-rigged boat built in his garage at home.

While his brother went traditional, it was to the high-tech world of high-performance racing yachts that Killian Bushe was attracted.

"I had always had boats and boatbuilding in my veins, and I just loved sailing and the entire process of design, construction, commissioning and racing, he says. "It was little wonder that is the career path I took. I knew little else, and wanted even less."

His first major project was in the mid-1980s, when he was commissioned to build and to sail on NCB Ireland, for the 1989/90 Whitbread Round The World Race, the forerunner to what is now the Volvo Ocean Race. "I have only sailed round the world the once, on NCB Ireland. So I know first-hand the sort of punishment these boats are subjected to, and therefore know, as a founding principle, that there are no chances which can be taken with any structural decisions on my boats. Lives can, and indeed do, depend on the safety and stability of my boats, and having been there, deep in the southern ocean, I know what will do and what won't."

Killian Bushe's round-the-world sailing career was short-lived, just the one race, but the knowledge and experience he gained in the 1989/1990 campaign was to prove invaluable in building what was becoming a burgeoning reputation as one of the most innovative yet safety-conscious builders in the hugely-competitive big-bucks world of race sailing.

"The round-the-world experience, but also a quarter of a century of sailing yachts, helps me get that little bit extra out of my construction, for sure, and I think it is the accumulation of all the little bits that make for a winning yacht," he observes.

Bushe was approached by the millionaire German race-sailing fanatic Michael Illbruck in the mid-1990s with an idea about entering a team in the newly-formed Volvo Ocean Race. His expediency was to prove vital, as illbruck Challenge was to be the first yacht of the eight built, first to undergo sea trials and commissioning, with crew training and technical adjustments as early as the summer of 2000, a full year before the off in

Southampton on September 23rd, 2001.

Illbruck Challenge was built in a former car plant in Leverkusen in Germany where the Illbruck Racing operation is based. Killian says the hallmarks of a Bushe-built yacht are: "Innovative construction using the latest techniques and materials, producing light, fast and reliable boats, with a quality finish to a high degree of accuracy."

He explains the process: epoxy pre-pregs are fibre fabrics which are already impregnated with resin before delivery to the yard and are stored in a freezer at -20 C. "The fibres are then laid over a male mould and cooked in an oven. The mould is vital - if that isn't right then the finished boat won't be either - and we use computer-cut building frames to ensure accuracy."

"The inside skin laminates are then vacuumed down under pressure for 24 hours before being cooked in an oven at 70 degrees C for 12 to 15 hours. On top, goes the foam core, then the outside skin laminate, and this type of sandwich construction produces the optimum shell for a race boat in terms of strength and stiffness."

The perennial conundrum for boat designers (the illbuck was designed by legendary yacht designer Bruce Farr) is the paradoxical equation of saving weight to gain speed, while retaining stability. Also, the tolerances allowed by the International Sailing Federation for the V.O. 60 class used in the race are critical.

True to his reputation for accuracy and remaining true to the integrity of the design package, Bushe brought the illbruck yacht in at under a kilogramme of the allowable weight of 13,500kg, right on length (19.5 metres /64 ft) and beam (5.25 metres /17.2ft). With a mast height of 26 metres (85ft) and the weight in the keel bulb of 6 tonnes (29,700lbs). These are massive, leading-edge racing machines, the Formula 1 yachts of the sailing world.

The Illbruck Challenge yacht (called the Green Dream Machine because of its livery colour and relentless performance and reliability) won the Volvo Ocean Race quite comfortably in the end, winning the first two legs, five out of nine overall, and avoiding the serious damage of broken rudders and shattered masts that afflicted a quarter of the fleet at some stage in the 32,7000 nautical mile circumnavigation.

Skipper of the victorious illbruck Challenge, American John Kostecki is in no doubt as to the contribution made by Killian Bushe to the German's winning effort.

"The boat was perfectly balanced, fast but strong, and, above all else, reliable, and to have total confidence in your design and build package is just a fantastic advantage to have," he said in Kiel, following victory, adding, "That leaves the skipper and crew with nothing to think of but race strategy, tactics and sailing the boat as close to its limits as we know we can confidently go."

Similarly, veteran Irish trimmer on illbruck, Dubliner Noel Drennan, says of Killian Bushe's boats: "Deep in the Southern Ocean, reaching flat out in huge seas, gales and even ice, race sailing on the edge, to know that your boat, such a tiny speck in a vast and inhospitable environment, is strong and safe exudes huge confidence in the crew. It is an unspoken thing, taken a little for granted on such a fine boat, but Killian's contribution was massive."

Strong and stable through two visits to the notorious Southern Ocean, winning the second leg from Cape Town to Sydney, despite almost sinking early on, surviving a twister between Sydney and Hobart and the worst ice-flows in round-the-world history from Auckland to Rio de Janeiro, this particular Bushe craft was very fast.

KOSTECKI'S crew broke the world speed record for a 24-hour run by a monohull on the transatlantic seventh leg, 484 nautical miles at an average speed of 20.16 knots between April 30th and May 1st this year. Syndicate owner Michael Illbruck was in no doubt that the construction of the boat played a big part in breaking the world record.

He said, "Killian managed to squeeze every little advantage out of a single class design and gave the race crew a very, very fast package to work on."

Bushe, who is married with two children and lives now in Ljungskile, Sweden, is typically self-effacing about his contribution, saying only, "I am very proud of all the boats I have built over the years, and illbruck was one of the best, and to have built the winning boat in such a prestigious event as the Volvo Ocean Race is definitely the highlight of my boatbuilding career to date, but I was only one of a fantastic team on the project."

Australia-based Irish helmsman, Gordon Maguire, on illbruck's great pre-race rival, News Corp, could only look on in admiration as the Bushe-built yacht swept all before her. "Fair dues. Killian built a fantastic boat, strong and fast, and, in the end, over the piece, the best boat won the best race in the world."

Bushe would love to build an Irish boat for the 2005/2006 Volvo Ocean Race, saying, "I always feel a sense of pride when Irish sailors are doing well at international level, and I would love to be involved in an Irish project next time, but only on the construction side. I have no desire to race around the world again."

Paddy Boyd, executive director of the Irish Sailing Association agrees: "With Killian Bushe, and Johnny Smullen, a protégé of his at the top of modern race yacht building, Ireland would be very well placed to construct a Volvo Ocean Race, and Killian Bushe is a wonderful ambassador for Ireland and Irish sailing. Irish sailors are rightly proud of the success of illbruck due to his role in the building process."

And for Bushe, what, apart from an Irish project is his ultimate boatbuilding project? "I would really like to build one of those large racing multi-hulls. The construction challenges are huge when you consider the massive loads involved."

And so, for this expatriate Irishman from Cork, working in Germany and living in Sweden, Killian Bushe is a genuine international export of Ireland at the very pinnacle of his craft.

He is the best there is.

Volvo Ocean Race : Forschung bringt "illbruck" nach vorne

• Aktualisiert am 04.12.2001 - 16:00

Viel Entwicklungsarbeit: „Illbruck” Bild: Ocean Race

Die deutsche Hightech-Yacht "illbruck" hat eine lange Entwicklung hinter sich. Sogar Computer-Strömungssimulationen wurden durchgeführt.

D er gegenwärtige Spitzenreiter desVolvo Ocean Race, die Rennyacht "illbruck", verdankt einen Teil ihres Erfolgs der anwendungsorientierten Wissenschaft.

Die illbruck-Pinta GmbH, Eigner der "illbruck", konnte sich auf der Grundlage eines Kooperationsvertrages mit der Fachhochschule Kiel Forschungsergebnisse zu Nutze machen, die zuvor von der Arbeitsgemeinschaft industrieller Forschungsvereinigungen (AiF) gefördert wurden.

Computersimulationen genutzt

Am Institut für Schiffbau der Fachhochschule Kiel entwickelte Professor Kai Graf innovative Methoden und Techniken auf dem Gebiet der Aero- und Hydromechanik von Segelyachten. Schwerpunkt der Untersuchungen, die für den Bau der "illbruck" genutzt wurden, waren Computer-Strömungssimulationen mit dem Schiffsrumpf und seinen Anhängen Kiel und Ruder.

Diese Verfahren gestatten die Ermittlung der Strömungskräfte, die auf die Anhänge wirken, und bilden die Grundlage einer Formoptimierung. "Wir wussten, wie die Geometrie des Kiels der "illbruck" aussieht und haben dann eine Vielzahl von Varianten untersucht, bis wir die Form gefunden haben, von der wir geglaubt haben, dass sie die Beste ist", sagt Graf.

Kosten bleiben geheim

Mittels verkleinerter Modelle mit einer Fertigungstoleranz von weniger als 0,02 Millimetern wurden im Umlauftank des Schiffbauströmungslabors die Simulationsergebnisse im Experiment überprüft. Die neuartige Technologie erlaubt die Untersuchung einer Vielzahl von Fahrzuständen.

Die so gewonnenen aero- und hydrodynamischen Daten ermöglichen Geschwindigkeitsprognosen für beliebige Kurswinkel und Windstärken. Ein halbes Jahr hat die Entwicklung gedauert. Über die Kosten schweigt der Professor allerdings.

Aushängeschild Sport-Rennyacht

Die deutsche Bootsbaubranche wird von rund 250 kleinen und mittleren Betrieben mit rund 30.000 Arbeitsplätzen getragen. Erfolgreiche Sport-Rennyachten sind für die Boots- und Yachtindustrie ein Aushängeschild mit Breitenwirkung für den gesamten Markt. Sie werden oft als Einzelbauten entwickelt und nach einem Regattaerfolg in abgewandelter Form in großen Stückzahlen industriell gefertigt.

Die Entwicklung von Segelyachten mit optimalen hydro- und aerodynamischen Eigenschaften, ist daher für viele Yachtwerften und Yachtkonstrukteure Bedingung für einen Markterfolg.

America`s Cup mit deutschem Boot

Das Volvo Ocean Race ist eine seit 25 Jahren etwa alle vier Jahre ausgetragene Regatta rund um die Welt und gilt als härtestes Rennen seiner Art und damit als Formel 1 des Segelsports. Die teilnehmenden Yachten sind Hightech-Rennmaschinen mit einer Besatzung, die aus internationalen Segelprofis besteht. Das gegenwärtige Rennen startete im September 2001 im englischen Southampton und wird etwa neun Monate später in Kiel enden. Mit der Illbruck nimmt zum ersten Mal ein deutsches Boot an der Regatta teil.

Die Fachhochschule Kiel setzt ihre erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit der Illbruck-Pinta GmbH fort. Sie arbeitet an der Entwicklung der Anhänge einer weiteren Yacht mit, die als erstes deutsches Boot ein Herausforderungs-Rennen zum America's Cup bestreiten wird. "Zu 75 Prozent ist unsere Entwicklung bereits abgeschlossen", sagt Graf. Auch hier ist das Forscherteam hauptsächlich für Kiel und Ruder verantwortlich. Anders als beim Ocean Race muss die Entwicklung eines Bootes für den America`s Cup komplett in dem Land stattfinden, aus dem es kommt.

Assa Abloy and Amer Sports One vied for the lead yesterday, making their way across the Tasman Sea in the Volvo Ocean Race.

Assa Abloy won line honors Saturday in the Sydney-to-Hobart race, the first part of the third leg for the eight Volvo boats in the around-the-world competition. After a short break in Hobart, Tasmania, Assa Abloy, as well as the overall race leader, Illbruck of Germany, and the News Corp, Djuice, Amer Sports One and Tyco teams all headed for Auckland, New Zealand.

Tyco was reported to be in third place yesterday, followed by News Corp and Illbruck. SEB, pulled out of the third leg after rudder damage during the Hobart race. It is sailing for Auckland and plans to compete in the fourth leg that leaves Auckland for Rio de Janeiro on Jan. 27.

The leading yachts are not expected in Auckland until Thursday at the end of the 2,050-nautical-mile leg from Sydney, Australia.

Illbruck leads the standings with 16 points, followed by News Corp with 12, Amer Sports One with 11 and SEB with 10.

Two Pinta Illbruck

• March 9, 2006

Two new NZ-built yachts for German yachtsman Michael Illbruck. David Glenn reports 9/3/06

When Auckland-based composite specialists Marten Yachts failed last year Michael Illbruck’s 72ft Reichel Pugh-designed pocket maxi Pinta was only half complete. Illbruck had planned to have the yacht in the Mediterranean this summer, so to keep the programme on track Ian Cook’s Yachting Developments Ltd stepped into the breach to complete the job.

They took delivery of the all carbon/Nomex hull and deck shells and went on to complete the yacht which will be plucked from Auckland Harbour later this week, de-rigged and packed up as deck cargo for the six week passage to Europe.

Although at first glance the 72ft Pinta(see photo)is race orientated she is in fact a dual role yacht with plenty of press button and joystick hydraulic controls, a big owner’s cabin right up forward and berths for another 10 (Illbruck has five children) right aft.

According to John Douglas of YDL, who is about to relinquish his role at the company after developing an epoxy allergy, Illbruck wants to take part in ‘fun’ regattas and possibly the Maxi Rolex event in Sardinia. Pinta steps a pretty racy Marten Spars rig with PBO backstays and jumper stays. She’s fitted with a 3m retractable prodder and in the same forward compartment is a fold-over anchor system. A dinghy garage and a large sun bathing area aft suggest that racing isn’t the only role this yacht will fulfil.

Between Michael and his father Willi, the Illbrucks have had six yachts built in New Zealand and have enjoyed a good relationship with the industry. When Marten went the Kiwis feared for the Illbruck custom but when Michael decided he wanted a TP52 as well as the 72-footer, he chose Mick Cookson in Auckland to build her.

We’ve been watching the little Pinta on trial in Auckland Harbour where she has been able to enjoy a fresh but coolish south-westerly blast. We look forward to seeing both boats in Europe where a number of the Emirates Team New Zealand crew are rumoured to be lining up to help campaign the yachts.
