Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wash attenuator for a moored vessel used to reduce the noise which is created within the vessel as a result of the wash impacting on the moored vessel at the waterline.
  • wash includes waves generated by naturally occurring ocean currents, by wind, or by passing vessels or a similar action in a body of water upon which a vessel may be floating when moored and which are incident on the hull of the vessel. Accordingly, a “wash attenuator” is a device that is capable of reducing the strength of a wave.
  • vessels are moored by using cables or anchors to fix the position of the vessel.
  • vessels are moored by attaching a cable from the bow or forwardmost point of the vessel to a fixed buoy or mooring.
  • the vessel is free to move in response to changes in the direction of winds, currents or swells in such as way as to minimise the frictional resistance of the vessel to the wind, currents or swell.
  • the longitudinal axis of the hull of the vessel tends to be aligned with the direction of the wind, currents or swell with the bow pointing directly into the wind. The wash which is incident on the moored vessel will thus first encounters the bow portion of the vessel.
  • the shape of the bow section of the vessel is designed to minimise the frictional drag characteristics of the vessel's hull when the vessel is in motion through the water.
  • the bow section tapers to a point at the forwardmost part of the vessel and, in side elevation, rises upwardly above the waterline. Whilst the shape of the bow section of the vessel may reduce frictional drag, it can also increase the level of noise created by wash incident on the underside of the bow portion of the vessel when the vessel is moored.
  • a vessel may be docked within a pen or other permanent structure located at a dock.
  • the pen is either floating or secured on poles and has an opening at one end to permit docking of the vessel within the pen.
  • the orientation of the pen is fixed relative to the dock and thus when the vessel is moored within a pen, the vessel is not able to move freely to re-orient itself in response to changes in the direction of wind, current or swell. In this case, the wash may be incident on any portion of the vessel resulting in an unacceptably high level of noise for persons wishing to use the vessel for accommodation purposes.
  • a wash attenuator for a moored vessel comprising: a buoyant member arranged to extend along at least a portion of the waterline of the vessel to isolate said portion of the waterline of the vessel from the wash, the buoyant member having a first section extending above the water line and a second section extending below the water line; and, ⁇ a barrier extending from the buoyant member and below the waterline for providing lateral stability to the buoyant member.
  • the barrier extends downwardly from the second section of the buoyant member. More preferably, the barrier extends substantially vertically downwardly from the second portion of the buoyant member.
  • the barrier is rigid to allow the barrier to retain its downwardly extending orientation relative to the buoyant member.
  • the barrier is constructed of a flexible material and is provided with one or more weights arranged to maintain the downward orientation of the barrier relative to the buoyant member in use.
  • the one or more weights are arranged to maintain verticality of the barrier relative to the buoyant member in use.
  • the one or more weights are arranged along a lower edge of the barrier.
  • the length of the barrier may vary depending on the anticipated degree of wash to be attenuated.
  • the size and position of the one ore more weights may vary depending on the anticipated degree of wash.
  • the buoyant member preferably extends along at least a portion of the waterline of the vessel to either side of the bow section of the vessel. More preferably the buoyant member extends along at least a portion of the waterline of the vessel to either side of the bow section of the vessel and along at least a portion of one or both sides of the hull of the vessel.
  • the buoyant member may equally be arranged to extend along a portion of one or both sides of the hull of the vessel or along a portion of the rearward section of the vessel if required, particularly for vessels that are moored with a fixed orientation within a pen or dock.
  • a buoyant member When the vessel is a multi-hull vessel, each hull of the vessel having a bow section, a buoyant member may be arranged to extend along at least a portion of the waterline of the multi-hull vessel to either side of the bow section of each hull.
  • the multi-hull vessel may be provided with a buoyant member arranged to extend along at least a portion of the waterline of one or both of the outermost hulls of the multi-hull vessel.
  • the buoyant member comprises a plurality of buoyant member sections releasably coupled to each other in series to form the buoyant member.
  • Advantageously adjacent buoyant member sections may be coupled together using hook and eye fasteners, string or any other suitable releasable mechanical fastening means.
  • the buoyant member is inflatable so as to be able to be stored in an uninflated condition to occupy less space on the vessel.
  • the inflatable buoyant member may be fitted with one or more relief valves to avoid over inflation.
  • each section may include an inlet for inflating or deflating the buoyant member section.
  • Each buoyant member or buoyant member section may be inflated manually or be self-inflatable.
  • the buoyant member further comprises one ore more elongate members projecting upwardly from the first section of the buoyant members for holding an advertising banner.
  • the buoyant member may be of fixed shape and be hollow or solid provided only that the buoyant member or buoyant member sections are able to float on water.
  • the cross-sectional profile of the buoyant member or buoyant member sections may be any shape with an inflatable buoyant member having a circular cross-section in one example described herein.
  • the cross-section may be rectangular or square for ease of fabrication or could equally be circular in cross-section and constructed from hollow pipe or tube stock.
  • the cross-sectional profile of the buoyant member may vary along its length.
  • the buoyant member terminates in first and second opposed ends and the cross-sectional area of the buoyant member tapers towards one or both of the first and second ends.
  • the buoyant inflatable members may further comprise a plurality of nested liners to mitigate the risk of deflation in the event of an outer liner receiving a puncture.
  • the buoyant member includes one or more attachment point(s) for securing the position of the buoyant member relative to the vessel, a pen or a mooring.
  • the buoyant member is releasably connected directly to the vessel using an attachment means extending from the vessel, pen or mooring to one or more attachment points on the buoyant member.
  • the buoyant member is provided with one or more spacing means for holding the buoyant member in a spaced apart relationship to the hull of the vessel.
  • the spacing means is an optional feature for reducing wear or noise associated with rubbing of the buoyant member on the hull of the vessel.
  • the buoyant member may equally be held in a spaced apart relationship away from the vessel indirectly using a spacer applied to a mooring rope extending from the vessel to the mooring or pen. The spacer effectively pulls the buoyant member away from the vessel but does not lift the buoyant member out of the water.
  • a pen for mooring a vessel including a wash attenuator according to the first aspect of the present invention.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of an inflatable wash attenuator according to a first embodiment in its inflated condition and arranged around the bow section of a vessel that is able to re-orient itself in response to changes in the direction of the prevailing winds, current or swell and the wash attenuator is arranged around the bow section of the vessel;

  • Figure 5 is a schematic overhead view of a wash attenuator according to a second embodiment and arranged around the stern section of a vessel that is moored in a pen and is unable to re-orient itself in response
  • buoyant member is used throughout this specification to describe a member that is able to float on water in such as way that the member rises and falls with any change in water level.
  • waterline refers to the line on the hull of a vessel to which the surface of the water upon which the vessel is floating rises.
  • the term "vessel” is used to describe any water-going craft of sufficient size to permit accommodation of a person within the hull of the vessel, including but not limited to boats, canoes, ships, yachts, catamarans, trimarans, ferries, liners, or tankers. Accordingly, the vessel may have one or more hulls, the "hull” of the vessel being understood to be the main body or frame of the vessel excluding masts, engines or superstructure.
  • a "moored vessel” refers to a vessel that is at least temporarily secured within a defined area. This may be achieved by means of an anchor dropped to the seabed, a cable or line secured to a mooring or a bollard on a wharf, or by docking the vessel within a fixed pen or dock.
  • the vessel may thus be moored in such a way as to have a fixed orientation relative to prevailing winds, currents or swells (such as when the vessel is moored within a pen) or be able to move freely so as to align its orientation to minimise frictional resistance to the prevailing winds, currents or swells (such as when the vessel is moored at a mooring).
  • a "mooring” is understood to be a permanent anchoring device, the position of which is fixed relative to the seabed and is typically marked with a buoy. In ordinary use, the vessel would be moored to a mooring using a rope or cable extending from the vessel and secured to the buoy.
  • bow refers to the forwardmost point at the front of the vessel.
  • bow section accordingly refers to the forwardmost section of the hull of the vessel.
  • the sides of the hull of the vessel are substantially parallel to one another with the bow section of the vessel intersecting the sides of the hull at a gradual or abrupt angle depending on the design of the hull.
  • a vessel with a “hard chine” is one that has an abrupt change in angle at the intersection of the sides of the hull and the bottom of the hull. Such vessels are more susceptible to the slapping noise generated with wash is incident on the vessel.
  • a first embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 in which a vessel 10 in the form of a V-bottom boat is moored to a mooring 12 and is thus able to re-orient itself in response to changes in the direction of wind, wash, current or swell. In this example, the prevailing wind direction can be assumed to be from the left hand side of the page towards the right hand side of the page in relation to Figure 1.
  • a wash attenuator 14 is releasably connected to the boat 10 to isolate the waterline 16 at the bow section 18 of the boat 10 from the action of the wash of the water upon which the boat when moored.
  • the wash attenuator 14 comprises a buoyant member 20 adapted to extend along the waterline 16 of the bow section 18 of the boat 10 and along at least a portion of the each side 22 of the hull 24 of the boat 10.
  • the buoyant member 20 has a first section 26 extending above the waterline and a second section 28 extending below the waterline.
  • the wash attenuator 14 further comprises a barrier 24 extending from the buoyant member 20 and below the waterline for attenuating the waves and providing lateral stability to the buoyant member 20.
  • the barrier 24 is in the form of a single flexible strip of material that extends substantially vertically downwardly from the second section 28 of the buoyant member 20 and is provided with one or more weights 30 arranged to maintain verticality of the barrier 24 relative to the buoyant member 20 in use.
  • the relative sizes of the first and second sections 26 and 28 of the buoyant member 20 may vary provided only that at least a portion of the buoyant member 20 remains at all times above the water. If the buoyant member is fully submersed below the water, it no longer provides a barrier to the wash which is then able to pass over the buoyant member and impact on the vessel.
  • the width of the barrier 24 can vary depending on the anticipated degree of wash to be attenuated. The wider the barrier 24 the more effective the wash attenuator 14 is at reducing the strength of the wash.
  • the wash attenuator 14 of the illustrated example shown in Figures 1 to 4 is inflatable for ease of storage when not in use.
  • the wash attenuator 14 is constructed using a single sheet of suitable impervious plastics material which is folded and welded and/or stitched and/or glued or similarly bonded at a junction 32 of the fold as shown at Figures 3 and 4 to form the buoyant member 20.
  • the barrier 24 is defined by the remaining non-folded portion of the single sheet of material which extends beyond the bonded junction 32.
  • the cross-sectional profile of the buoyant member 20 is circular when in its inflated condition. Other cross-sectional profiles could equally be used when the buoyant member is non-inflatable.
  • the barrier 24 terminates at a lower edge 34 of the sheet of material which in turn is folded over to form a hem 36 within which the one or more weights 30 are retained.
  • the one or more weights 30 are provided using a length of cable or chain or the like but may equally comprise a series of weights located at spaced apart intervals along the hem 36.
  • a transverse bonded junction 38 is also provided at the longitudinal centreline of the wash attenuator 14 to provide a fold line for arranging the buoyant member 20 in a V-shaped configuration so that the buoyant member 20 can extend to either side of the bow section 18 of the boat 10 in use.
  • the inflatable buoyant member 20 is fitted with one or more relief valves 40.
  • the wash attenuator 14 is further provided with attachment points 42 for securing the position of the buoyant member 20 relative to the boat 10 using one or more securing lines 48.
  • the moored vessel is free to move in response to change in direction of the wind, current or swell.
  • the buoyant member 20 is releasably attached to the boat using one or more securing lines 48 extending from the attachment points 42 of the buoyant member to a corresponding number of bollards 44 provided on the boat 10.
  • the buoyant member is V-shaped with the point of the "V" of the buoyant member 20 being positioned adjacent the bow 46 of the boat 10.
  • the buoyant member 20 also extends along at least a portion of the sides 22 of the hull of the vessel to reduce the noise within the hull.
  • a portion of the wash attenuator extends above and below the waterline and thus isolates the wash incident upon the hull of the vessel to either side of the bow. As a result, the strength of the wash is substantially reduced and the noise within the hull of the vessel is reduced as a result. It will be appreciated that the length of the wash attenuator 14 may be varied according the design of the vessel 10 and the anticipated size of the wash to be attenuated.
  • the inflatable member may be self-inflating in an analogous fashion to self-inflatable camping beds and the like.
  • Such devices typically rely on the use of a resiliently compressible means (not shown) which defines the shape and volume of the self-inflating device when fully expanded, the resiliently compressible means being retained within the body of the device.
  • the resiliently compressible means When the self-inflating device is not in use, the resiliently compressible means is collapsed within the body of the device and constrained to occupy a smaller volume.
  • a seal is opened to allow fluids to enter the body of the device and the resiliently compressible means is released to resume its expanded configuration, thereby increasing the volume of the body of the device. As the volume of the body increases, fluid such as air is sucked into the body to fill the vacuum created.
  • FIG. 5 to 7 A second example of the wash attenuator 14 is illustrated in Figures 5 to 7 for which like reference numerals refer to like parts.
  • the vessel 10 is moored in a pen 50 so that the orientation of the vessel 10 relative to the prevailing winds, currents, or swell is fixed.
  • the pen 50 is substantially U-shaped, having a opening 54 to allow the vessel 10 to enter the pen 50 and be docked therein.
  • the dominant direction of wash that is incident on the hull of the vessel 10 is assumed to be coming from the stern 52 towards the bow 46. When this is the case, maximum wave and thus noise attenuation is achieved by arranging the buoyant member 20 to extend around the stern 52 and along a portion of the sides 22 of the vessel 10.
  • the buoyant member 20 For pens where the dominant wind direction is from the bow to the stern of the vessel, the buoyant member 20 would best be arranged around the bow section 18 of the vessel 10. For pens where the dominant wind direction is across the vessel from one side to the other, the buoyant member 20 would best be arranged along a portion of the waterline 16 of the side 22 of the vessel 10 that is upwind.
  • the barrier 24 is rigidly constructed from a substantially flat metal strip which extends vertically downwardly from the second section 28 of a non-inflatable buoyant member 20.
  • the buoyant member 20 in this embodiment is hollow, having a rectangualar cross-section and being constructed from a welded lightweight metal such as aluminium.
  • the barrier 24 need not be flat, but could equally have an inverted V-shaped configuration as shown in Figure 7 in which the barrier is constructed using a first and a second rigid strip 56 and 58, respectively each extending downwardly from the buoyant member 20 and below the waterline 16.
  • the first and second strips 56 and 58 respectively, extend downwardly from the second section 28 of the buoyant member 20 at an angle to each other.
  • the first and second strips 56 and 58 could equally be arranged at the lowermost edge 59 of the barrier 24 shown in Figure 6, forming an inverted Y-section.

  • the barrier 24 has a substantially triangular cross-section and extends longitudinally along and symmetrical with the centreline of the second section 28 of the buoyant member 24.
