Definitions

  • the present invention falls within the field of competition boats, for canoeing or rowing sports, and may be configured as a canoe, a kayak or a boat for Rowing practice. More specifically, the technical field relates to the design and construction of rowing competition boats, thus considering structural/constructive issues of the boat which typically allow it to have the best possible performance.
  • the present invention finds its closest antecedents in different types of non-motorized boats for competition, which are found in Canoeing, including canoes and kayaks, as well as Rowing. Examples of kayaks can be seen in EP 1726522 A .
  • boats typically have the so-called traditional or conventional hulls, characterized by a curvature of the keel line in the longitudinal direction, thus presenting a much smaller draft near the ends of the hull than that at the central zone, while the athlete is positioned in this deeper zone.
  • These hulls also have a volume distribution such that, above the waterline, the area of the waterlines or horizontal sections of the hull, both at the bow and at the stern, increases from the keel to the deck.
  • the competition water sports activity using row boats is regulated by specific rules which define weight, length and width of the boat, but also require that there are no concave sections in the hull, only convex sections [1]. As such, manufacturers seek boats with the best performance, respecting hydrodynamics and aerodynamics related criteria.
  • the patent application with publication number EP 1 726 522 A1 presents a kayak for competition with the general typical features of a competition row boat: one deck with an opening for a cockpit to a crew member and a hull, wherein said kayak is based on specific ranges of displaced volume and prismatic coefficient, with these features defining a boat with waterlines of the type of those described above as clearly visible in Fig. 3b of EP1726522 A1 , which shows a cross section of this boat, typical of said conventional or traditional boat model.
  • the hull shown in Fig. 3 of the present application is yet another example of said conventional hull model, relating to a previous model of the present applicant, in which the maximum value of the breadth (or width at the waterline) for any cross-section, from fore body to aft, is essentially close to the deck, wherein the variation of the breadth value for any cross-section is always positive from the keel to the deck.
  • a competition boat (5) with a cockpit zone (3), a bow zone (1) - between the cockpit zone (3) and the fore body (6) - and a stern zone (2) - between the cockpit zone (3) and aft (7) - wherein, in the bow zone (1), the value of the breadth (8) corresponding to any waterline of a vertical section has its maximum value essentially close to the keel (9) and continuously decreases up to the deck (10).
  • the present invention thus relates to a competition row boat (5) which transcends the paradigm of said conventional boats, by changing the variation of the breadth corresponding to any waterline in the bow zone (1) from positive (in which the widest breadth is close to the deck) to negative (in which the widest breadth is close to the keel). Consequently, in the competition row boat (5) which is object of the present invention, the volume distribution of the hull in the bow zone (1) is fundamentally the opposite of that of said conventional models, wherein the volume is null at the deck and increases to its maximum value already below the waterline, and essentially close to the keel line (9).
  • the stern zone (2) of the competition row boat (5) which is object of the present invention keeps the positive variation characteristic of the breadth (8) corresponding to any waterline, in the direction from the keel (9) to the deck (10), which is typical of said conventional type models.
  • the reference signs S1 through S25 represent different lengths, wherein the spacing between adjacent dots is always the same.
  • the solid curve represents a competition row boat (5) according to the present invention, while the dashed curve represents the prior art boat shown in Figs. 3 and 4 , according to said conventional model.
  • Fig. 9 illustrates which changes were made to obtain the new shape.
  • the present invention enables, due to the bow shape, an increase in the waterline length. As noted above, the waterline length remains always in its maximum value even when there is variation in the trim.
  • the bow zone (1) has an inverse configuration with respect to said conventional boat models and, in addition to the fact that the maximum value of the breadth (8) for any vertical section of the bow zone (1) is located essentially close to the keel (9), the value of the breadth (8) reduces from its maximum value as it approaches the deck (10).
  • the value of the breadth (8) corresponding to any waterline having its maximum value substantially close to the keel (9) means that, in the absence of any curvature discontinuity in the cross section between the keel (9) and this point - which would result in a vertex - there is a real need for a curvature between the lower point, the keel (9), and the point of maximum breadth (8). While keeping the restriction for the bow zone (1) to comprise only convex sections, this allows reaching the best performance of the boat.
  • the stem (11) has an angle which is reverse with respect to conventional state-of-the-art models, i.e., the end of the fore body (6) of the competition row boat (5) is underwater and also has more volume in its immersed part than above the waterline.
  • the combination of the volume distribution - larger volume at the ends - and the rocker reduction implies an increase of the prismatic coefficient. It is known by experience [2] that, operating at high Froude numbers, the increase in this coefficient is beneficial thus achieving a reduction of the wave resistance. Roughly, Froude number is a dimensionless velocity parameter and measures how fast a ship travels in relation to its length [3]. The Froude number is important because, at higher speeds, the resistance due to wave formation assumes greater importance.
  • the prismatic coefficient is typically between 0.56 and 0.61;
  • the prior art boat model shown in Figs. 3 and 4 has a prismatic coefficient of 0.57;
  • the prismatic coefficient of a competition row boat (5) according to the present invention is in the range of 0.55 to 0.62, one can verify that a substantial improvement is obtained over the prior art.
  • the combination of the volume distribution, larger volume at the ends, and the rocker reduction provides: (i) less air resistance, especially with headwind or crosswind, (ii) lower tendency to scend ("caturrar") (pitch or surge movements "cabeceio"), because an immersion of the bow does not cause such a strong impulse reaction as in a boat of said conventional model, due to volume distribution, and (iii) the reduction of movements improves the hull performance and improves the rower's ability in concentrating the effort in propulsion and not in controlling the boat.
  • a breadth (8) corresponding to a maximum waterline related to an upper waterline and a lower waterline whose breadths have a value lower than that of the maximum waterline.
  • the waterline with maximum breadth (8) will always lie between 1% and 30% of the depth (4), which is the height of a certain vertical section measured from the keel (9) to the deck (11) perpendicular to the waterline.
  • the configuration of said conventional model remains, i.e., the value of the breadth (8) corresponding to any waterline of a vertical section has its maximum value essentially close to the deck (10) and continuously decreasing in the direction of the keel (9).
  • the competition row boat (5) object of the present invention consists of a single piece in which all the sections identified - bow zone (1), stern zone (2) and cockpit zone (3) - form a single piece made through the mold manufacturing process with polymeric materials - such as plastics or fiber material, for instance fiberglass or carbon fiber, or with natural materials such as mahogany.
  • polymeric materials - such as plastics or fiber material, for instance fiberglass or carbon fiber, or with natural materials such as mahogany.
  • any material known in the state-of-the-art is suited for the manufacture of competition row boats.
  • the competition row boat (5) consists of two pieces: a deck part and a hull part which are longitudinally connected.
  • this is the area where the competition row boat (5) contains one or more apertures, so called cockpits, for accommodating the crew member (s) and separating the bow zone (1) from the stern zone (2).
  • the cockpit zone (3) contains at least one cockpit.
  • the competition row boat (5) of the present invention may consist of a kayak, a canoe or a boat for Rowing competition.
  • any vertical section of the bow zone (1) of the competition row boat (5) corresponds to a trapeze with all its sides convex and rounded vertices, wherein the smallest base corresponds to the deck (10) and the largest base corresponds to the keel (9).
  • any vertical section of the bow zone (1) of the competition row boat (5) corresponds to an isosceles triangle with rounded corners and all its sides convex, wherein the smallest side is the keel (9).
  • any vertical section area of the stern zone (2) of the competition row boat (5) corresponds to a trapeze with all its sides convex and rounded vertices, wherein the smallest base corresponds to the keel (9) and the largest base corresponds to the deck (10).
  • any vertical section of the stern zone (2) of the competition row boat (5) corresponds to an isosceles triangle with rounded corners and all its sides convex, wherein the largest side is the deck (10).
  • the fore body (6) comprises a section perpendicular to any waterline.
  • the stem (11) comprises three sections, joined as follows:
  • the prismatic coefficient of the competition row boat (5) is 0.5816.
  • the cockpit zone (3) contains one, two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight cockpits suitable for one, two, three, four, five, six seven or eight rowers, respectively.
