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

“龙”号是一艘老式赛艇，最初设计于20世纪20年代。因此，它不符合现代娱乐游艇指令94/25/EC(RCD)，该指令为所有船只设定了最低安全要求。Petticrow制造的龙游艇不在RCD的范围内，因为它们是用于比赛目的的。然而，2009年，刚果民盟的一次公众咨询建议将其范围扩大到包括赛艇。虽然没有进行任何修改，但这突显了如果刚果民盟在未来发生变化，我们的业务将处于多么脆弱的境地。因此，我们需要这个项目来设计和建造一个原型龙来证明遵守RCD的概念。我们需要证明这个概念，因为我们在方法上受到国际帆船联合会(ISAF)制定的严格班级规则的限制，所有的龙都必须遵守这些规则才能获得资格。满足ISAF级别规则与满足RCD同等重要，但我们不确定是否能设计一艘同时满足两者的Dragon游艇。Petticrow是世界上领先的Dragon游艇制造商。我们每年在英国的供应链上花费超过100万GB，90%的销售额用于出口。这个项目的目标是：-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建新的设计Dragon。-确保设计满足RCD和ISAF等级规则的要求。-使用Petticrow的高价值制造技术生产基本的Dragon原型。-测试性能，以确保RCD的最低安全要求达到要求。在该行业拥有20多年经验的专业造船工人Tim Tavinor将协调该项目。蒂姆为英国奥运帆船队建造了游艇，英国奥运帆船队赢得了四枚金牌。蒂姆是一名有竞争力的水手，曾是赢得2011年世界锦标赛冠军的三人水手中的一员。

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.
