Where to run ahead of a locomotive...

After the first sea trials of Alekstar 38 in Spain technical editor of British magazine Yachting Monthly Chris Beeson has sent us a letter in which he motivated his refusal to publish results of the trials. In his opinion A38 is very interesting boat using many of new racing technologies and she is from Russia that forces to look at her from different point as well. He had spoken about А38 with the chief editor in whose sensation the publication will be a little too premature mismatching inquiries of their readers. He is going to discuss with the editor once again as he still considers that A38 is the first sailing boat with technologies going to be standard in the cruise market in 10 years.

Well! As it appears we run ahead of a locomotive. However it would be more joyful to run if we can see a clear goal as a carrot. Probably English goals are too virtual ones and it is necessary to replace a direction to French sailing gardens as the message about difficulties of bewitched friends, Brits, will traditionally please Frenchmen, who are true gourmets, fans of the refined delicacies. We hope that among French gastronomic paradise will be a simple but thick and sweet carrot for us.

A38 in Spain

Having pass sea trials first production Alekstar 38 was shipped to marina Empuriabrava in Spain where the boat being rigged was officially launched. Shallow waters of Empuriabrava gave an opportunity to enable retractable keel. Before Catholic Christmas A38 was under hand-over trials about a week in Rosas bay, Mediterranean. The weather varied from very light winds to heavy breeze with 2.5 meters chop. The boat performance was even better then in St.Peterburg's trials. In some regimes the boat exceeded her moderate breeze VPP. Water ballast system excellently increases her beating upwind performance in rough sea. The boat customer plans local racing in near future, as he was satisfied with A38 performance, although he was not interested in racing before as he had assured us. Well, we are going to follow his success on course.

A38 sea trials

First production express-cruiser Alekstar 38 passed sea trials within a week. Efficiency of new ideas, conceptions and engineering solutions of the design were under test. As an example jybe-keel design gives an opportunity of 60 tacking angle according GPS tracking. Measured boat velocity and wind speed values coincided with design polar diagrams. Under 40 hp Yanmar the boat run up to 9.2 knots with prop pitch of 14 inches and 11 knots with 16 inches pitch. A hump of towering drag with keel down corresponds to 8.75 knots. In the immediate future the boat will be returned to the yard to final interior mounting and redecoration. Having passed final attestation for European safe certificate (CE) she will be delivered to customer abroad.

Serial production of A38 Express Cruiser

In the beginning of May new A38 was put into serial production. The first boat is made in the version of Family Cruiser and intended for customer from Northern Europe. After launching and several sailing tests for journalists the boat will be consigned to the owner. This year it is planned to manufacture several hulls. However while the first boat ashore it is difficult to judge the further versions of A38. As it was already mentioned the boat may be manufactured in versions such as Family Cruise, Charter, Charter Sport and One Design. Despite of successive previous sailing boat A25 in Europe, the market still with vigilance concerns to production from Russia and many efforts to gain niche in hi-tech boatbuilding are required.

New A25 model

Kompan Marine always contacts customers and owners of our sailing boats for feedback helping effective modernization. After half-year of successful interest in European market, dealers of the Mediterranean region have generated a package of customers' wishes on the further development of A25 trailer sailer. The new boat will receive index A25EK. She differs from the previous one by stationary diesel, such as Yanmar 1GM10 of 9 hp, and retractable bulb keel which may be raised to a cabin ceiling by an auxiliary winch. Thus minimal draft increases up to 600 mm that quite comply with rather deep marines and anchorages of Mediterranean. It is possible to reduce sail area for leisury alone sailing also. The sailing boat equipped with new deflectors with fans powered by solar panels and new WAECO fridge as well.

Presentation in Europe

After approximately eight years in series build sailer-trailer А25 having recognized now by CE safety certificate and marked А25E was presented at one of the first-rate Europe boat-show. Nowdays Salon Nautiсо in Barсelona is de-facto second boat show in Europe promptly overtaking famous Dusseldorf exhibition. More than three hundreds yachts and sailing boats were moored and available for visitors in Port Vell. The greater parts of the fleet were mega-yachts below 120 feets (about 40 m). Inland area of pavilions placed in new FIRA II exhibition center was more than a half of accustomed to Dusseldorf. More than 175000 visitors entered the show. The sailing boat A25E was under keen interest not only by visitors but press as well. Overall opinions were: very-good looking, much more interior than at first glance, incredible opportunity to drive a beach. To our surprise the latter option was very essential in cruising overcrowded east Middle Sea region. Shortly it was approved to develop a hot climate interior which will probably be a base version one for export.

New trailer sailer

Heeling and buoyancy tests were the last ones for certification. Manufacture of a new Alekstar 25 for Europe market has begun. International Marine Certification Institute approved the sailing boat as appropriate for E category. The boat fully complies with the European norms of safety СЕ and differs from the previous version, Alekstar 25 TR, by slightly changed internal section, afterpeak watertight hatch. The sailing boat is completed only with the equipment marked as СЕ accordingly. It has certainly affected final cost of the boat, but she is still competitive under the price with the nearest analogues such as MacGregor.

New trials

RIB R600 has passed new trials as a patrol vessel on Caspian Sea. This time absolutely new qualities and abilities were checked. Delta of Volga, stretches and flooded banks spread out on 360 kilometers in width, was the main area for patrolling. It was necessary to work not only offshore, where R600 is already recognized seaworthiness vessel, but on shallows overgrown with grass with average depth less than one meter. It is huge territory with the purest water, filtered by bushes of a reed and chakra, which temperature achieves 30 degrees. It is really paradise for everyone alive and for valuable fishes in summer. Therefore interest to the given area is great not only on the part of local population, but also citizens of the neighborhood republics. Tests should be complex and very important since on this waters a rich grass instantly choked jet powerboats so jets are not popular in this waters. The jet could not get rid out of grass when turned to reverse. RIB equipped with two engines was chosen as a boat with maximum draught. Ability to catch up and intercept not only small boats of Progress or Crimea type but also so-called fishing boats lengthen up to 8 meters and powered 2 X 220 hp and even more was checked. Local huntsman and frontier guards have especially appreciated unexpected interception ability R600 when at high speed run to 'offroad' shortening a way through so-called kolki which are islands thickets of reed and high grass, chakra. All participants were pleased. The hunters really liked new vessel and Korsar team had excellent adventures in exotic region of Russia. So R600 has mastered a new trade of shallow waters patrolling.

New sailing boat

Development and designing of a new sailing boat positioned as family cruiser are completed. The A38 is intended for the Europe market. She was designed for the company “Promocean”, Denmark. The main idea was to build a present-day fast cruiser for European middleclass family answering both to be home for mistress and a racer for the owner. The boat is spacious enough. Having been 11.5 m at length she is 4 m in beam and has 1.90 m interior height. To be ease in sailing and visiting as well as mooring shallow bays the boat has retractable bulb-keel reducing draft in up position to 0.75 m. In normal down position the keel provides sufficient stability for 100 m² upwind sailing. At strong winds additional stability is provided by water-ballast tanks in capacity of 800 l each board. This option will relieve the owner of crew search for high-speed sail cruising on storm seas. Inside the boat the main saloon, two cabins and toilet-shower compartment are accommodated. Second toilet is optional at bow cabin. The boat design absorbs many of KOMPANMarine's know-how including both ideas and technologies such as “drum-type” retractable rudders, “jybe-keel”, carbon reinforced plastic frame and spar, symmetric waterlines when heeling, and others. For St.-Petersburg placed Morozov Yachts boatbuilding company, specializing on manufacturing of high-quality aluminum hulls on the basis of unique GRP-to-aluminium gluing technology, the special version of A38 with an external aluminum alloy hull covering was developed. The laminate has a number of advantages at Russian market having somewhat of yachting infrastructures. The aluminum version is weighing only extra 200 kg.

According to the plans the first A38 will be launched during 2005 season.

New trials for R600 RIB

Trials for R600 are underway. As has been planned before senior mate from Corsair team, Valery Ustinov, has made his third attempt to run without refueling along Ladoga lake. First two were canceled because of fuel system problems. This time, having replaced all hoses and tanked in the test RIB more than 300 liters of gasoline, the Corsair team was touched in a way early in the morning from Frankardi berth, that on Kamennii island. Having reached by noon east coast of the lake, the RIB headed for north. Weather favored and waves did not exceed 0,5 meters. However at north part of the lake near Valaam the north wind strengthened to 17 m/s and set wave up to 2,5 meters. Speed of Corsair's RIB went down. Nevertheless, having run more than 530 kilometers in 14 hours with average speed almost 20 knots, RIB moored about midnight on GIMS's (Russian State Inspection of Small Boats) berth. The team was unable to run back to St.Petersburg passing Neva after almost 6-hour rolling on black high waves of Ladoga. It is thought, that in connection with full absence of any infrastructure on Russian waterways, motorboats with the remote cruising range will be still long actual.

R600 in Denmark

Danish businessmen had kept an yea on a new RIB in Coach version and finally they purchased her to service sailing competitions on restless waters of the Danish waterways. R600 has been shipped to Denmark equipped beforehand with 115 hp Mercury and 21-inch prop. Danes liked spacious cockpit, a long onboard zipped cover with netting bottom, a special water-proof compartment for notebook, GPS plotter and other useful items, such as a watertight locker with set of cases for hull fittings. But the most important, that seamen have appreciated, was amazing course stability despite of wave force 4. Port police was pleased with the RIB too and wished to equip the boat with “on horseback” seats ahead of the steering console for four policemen and aft arch to place siren and radar blinkers. To become a policeman boat the RIB R600 should pass a drop-test, i.e. to be capable to withstand a fall in water from height of 6 meters. Such testing is under preparation in St.Petersburg.

New RIB ROGER-600 trials

On-water trials of new RIB ROGER have been successfully carried out in November. Different design conceptions were checked up and tested during nearly sixty drive hours. Seaworthiness and navigation autonomy of the boat were determined in seas. The most fine appeared to be the prototype with a central (on length) steering console and tubes lengthened up to 6 meters. The boat has demonstrated a steady and safe drive running 40 knots under up to 3 number sea roughness with 500 miles autonomy. At the request of the customers, who have visited the trials, hull compartments for a stand-alone motor-generator and various equipment including radar and a sounder were modernized. Some changes also were done in power supply system and outboards handling. By the beginning of 2004 navigation it is planned to build cruise version of the RIB outfitted with passenger seats and berths, an awning-cowl, a fridge and other cruising options. The boat updated according the trials results will be named ROGER-600.

A new technology

After more than a year and a half of rigid inflatable boat ROGER 450 release we have build a new one — RIB 570. The 450 was build under Corsair company partnership, which is at the lead of domestic inflatable boats market. It is necessary to remind, that the 450 RIB during test-drives has overtaken St.Petersburg — Solovki — St.Petersburg route with a cargo of 700 kg and a rally devoted to St.Petersburg 300 years anniversary from Moscow to St.Petersburg as a support vessel of Spanish count Alvaro de Marichellara with similar loading. The new RIB was designed as a vessel for industrial trade application in view of Far East fishermen technical requirements. The hull was designed for heavy seas drive. The boat equipped with two stationary 300 l fuel tanks. Wide transom with completely separated recess was designed for two outboards with summary 200 kW maximal power. Self-bailing cockpit has spacious free flat deck to accommodate cargo and various equipment, and also two sealed lockers of 145 and 65 liters capacity. On Saturday, October 25, trial runs of new RIB 570 have begun. During the trials designed parameters will be checked out and new engineering decisions to be tested in heavy conditions of autumn Baltic. Designed useful RIB 570 loading is 1700 kg, the maximal speed with two SELVA DUET 80 outboards run up 50 knots.

A new technology

Resin Transfer Molding technology (RTM) receiving on the West hi-tech market an increasing distribution has successfully undergone the company probation. We are going to transfer on the RTM all small complex composite items, e. g. the stock cases for the transom hung A767 and A25TR rudders, firstly, and the large ones, e. g. the bottom sections of the new RIB preparing to release under Corsar contract, next. The RTM allows considerably increase the composite items manufacture rate, to finish copies identity up to 100%, to hold the weight and strength characteristics. This is the second super-up-to-date aramide fiber base composite technology following pneumatic one mastered by the company.

Alekstar 25 TR Orion — a first prototype of A25 new modification

Alekstar 25 TR Orion, a first prototype of A25 new modification, has successfully finished a navigation. The boat has raced confidently on Svejy Veter regatta especially under strong wind racing and was the second on Moscow Championship event being included in RS2000 group.

A25TR has more heavy swing-keel, 350 kg, than the previous model and is outfitted with two rudders, a new jib lines and a forstay tightiner. The twin rudders system was especially appreciated by the crew. The system gives a way to an effective boat race tuning and rarely favourable on shallow water.

A first serial A767 has been launched

A first serial A767 has been launched. She slightly differs from the Scorpion, the head boat of the series, just completely manufactured and assembled in matrix equipment that for sure positively effects on a quality of the detail surfaces. It is planned to test the boat on several regattas at the end of the season and then to prepare for sale.

URAGAN series

Our company has begun serial release of a sport sailing boat Alekstar 767 developed under Uragan project. The first А767 prototype boat named Scorpion was issued at the 2001 spring. She has passed all-round tests on more, than six regattas of the navigation in different regions of Russia. The arisen interest to the extreme А767 has proved an expediency of the serial manufacture. During three months all construction of the prototype has been thoroughly analyzed by the company experts to take into account and to make all alterations needed in the serial equipment. Alekstar 767 pertains to modern international class T800, however as against the nearest western analogies such as Melges 24 also meets the safety requirements of ORC. So Alekstar 767 is a sailing boat that capable to offshore racing. T800 class has been announced on the Bank Cup 2003 regatta and the Bank community noted A767 as a real challenger to a victory. While the Scorpion was invited to race at Denmark.
