A Proof-of-concept Dragon yacht to comply with the Recreational Craft Directive.

龙是一个老式的赛车游艇首次设计于20世纪20年代。因此，它不符合现代Recommendation Craft Directive 94/25/EC（RCD），该指令为所有船只设定了最低安全要求。Dragon游艇Petticrows的制造不属于RCD的范围，因为它们是用于比赛目的。然而，在2009年，刚果民盟的一次公共协商确认其范围扩大到包括赛车。虽然没有进行任何修订，但它突出表明，如果刚果民主共和国在未来发生变化，我们的业务将处于脆弱的地位。因此，我们需要这个项目来设计和建造一个原型龙，证明符合RCD的概念。我们需要证明这个概念，因为我们在我们的方法受到严格的班级规则的限制，由国际帆船联合会（ISAF）制定，所有的龙必须遵守，以获得班级资格。满足ISAF级别规则与满足RCD规则同样重要，但我们不确定我们是否可以设计一艘龙满足两者。我们每年在英国供应链上花费超过100万英镑，90%的销售额用于出口。该项目的目标是：-使用激光技术将Dragon游艇的设计数字化。-与著名的海军建筑师和游艇设计师合作，创造一个新的设计龙。确保设计符合RCD和ISAF等级规则的要求。使用Peticrows的高价值制造技术来生产一个基本的原型龙。测试性能以确保满足RCD的最低安全要求。Tim Tavinor是一位拥有20多年行业经验的专业造船师，他将协调该项目。蒂姆为英国奥林匹克帆船队建造了游艇，该队赢得了四枚金牌。蒂姆是一个有竞争力的水手，是赢得2011年世界锦标赛的3人船员的一部分。

The Dragon is a vintage racing yacht first designed in the 1920s. As such, it does not complywith the modern-day Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC (RCD), which sets minimumsafety requirements for all watercraft.The Dragon yachts Petticrows manufacture fall outside the scope of the RCD because they areintended for racing purposes. However, in 2009 a public consultation of the RCD suggestedits scope extend to include racing crafts. Although no amendments took place, it highlightedthe vulnerable position our business is in if the RCD were to change in the future. Therefore,we need this project to design and build a prototype Dragon that proves the concept ofcompliance with the RCD.We need to prove the concept because we are restricted in our approach by the stringent classrules, set by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), which all Dragons have to adhere toin order to qualify in the class. Meeting the ISAF class rules is of equal importance as meetingthe RCD but we are unsure if we can design a Dragon to meet both.Petticrows are the leading manufacturer of the Dragon yacht in the world. We spend over £1million throughout our UK supply chain per annum and export 90% of our sales.The aims of this project are to:- Digitalise the design of the Dragon yacht using laser technology.- Work with renowned naval architects and yacht designers to create a new design Dragon.- Ensure the design meets the requirements of both the RCD and the ISAF class rules.- Use Petticrows' high value manufacturing techniques to produce a basic prototype Dragon.- Test the performance to ensure the minimum safety requirements of RCD are met.Tim Tavinor, an expert boatbuilder with over 20 years experience in the industry, willcoordinate the project. Tim has built yachts for the British Olympic sailing team, which havegone on to win four Gold medals. Tim is a competitive sailor and was part of the 3-man crewthat won the 2011 World Championship.
