Canting System
Custom MOOG engineered system
Designed, built and installed MOOG Hydraulic servovalve system for the the keel hydraulics. This was designed by ââ?¬Å?Veloceââ?¬ï¿½ owner Dr Dick Aubrecht (also VP of strategy and technology, corporate officer, and former chairman of MOOG) and two other engineers at MOOG. They have over 60 years of experience designing such systems for aircraft flight control actuation systems, industrial automation, etc. This is a micro-processor based system originally designed for wind turbine blade pitch control. It provides much smoother and controllable positioning of the keel by the helmsman. It also has a direct readout of the keel position so the cockpit crew can see where the keel is at all times. The micro-processor is in a water proof housing directly on the valve so as to have no critical wire connectors. This design is much more reliable than the original system installed by Premiere on this and all their canting keel boats. They also installed a separate 24 volt power supply for this system so the keel 24 system does not interfere with the control system.

Canting Keel Technology:Inspiration and innovation led Dr. Dick Aubrechtââ?¬â??Moogââ?¬â?¢s Vice President Strategy & Technology and an experienced practicing engineer and sailboat racerââ?¬â??to install an ACV on the ââ?¬Å?Veloce,ââ?¬ï¿½ his 11-meter, 2,500-kilogram Farr 11S sailboat. Aubrecht has worked for Moog since 1969 and been an avid sailboat racer for at least as long. Aubrecht had always admired the 22+ meter boats that compete in the Volvo Ocean Race, among the first vessels to employ a ââ?¬Å?cantingââ?¬ï¿½ keel. This type of ballast moves laterally to keep a sailboatââ?¬â?¢s mast and hull at the best angle relative to the waterââ?¬â?¢s surface during a race.
History:
The new Farr 11s represents the culmination of intense discussions with the client, who previously owned a Farr 36 One Design. The carefully prepared brief called for an inshore boat with sufficient freeboard for coastal race capability, legs out hiking and minimal interior. The goal was to produce a very fast boat keelboat for its size (35 to 38 ft) crewed by no more than 6 or 7 intermediate level sailors. Racing venues included Key West, the Great Lakes and a variety of other regattas.
There has been considerable interest world wide in a mono hull that fits this vision and there are a number of examples similar to this style of boat. The acceptance of canting keel technology and the incredible outright speed of the VO 70's and Open 60's has opened many sailors' minds to new frontiers of high performance monohull sailing.
The challenge was to incorporate as many go fast features as possible while staying within sensible limits of price, ease of operation, and meeting safety standards of category 3 Offshore Special Regulations including stability and fit out requirements. The obvious goals are to provide high stability to carry a powerful sail plan, keep the whole package as light as possible, reduce drag, and produce a boat that will break out into high speeds in a controllable manner. These goals are blended with the desire to be a good all rounder for buoys races in a wide range of wind speeds, good in coastal type races where reaching performance and handling are important, and avoid any glaring weaknesses that are seen in some attempts at this concept.
The Farr 11s has a 45-degree canting keel, twin asymmetric canards and twin retractable rudders on a hull with high form stability. This combination has been explored in our Open 60, VO70, Cookson 50 and Leopard 3 research work and this project presented fertile ground to draw from our experience. The hull shape combines the demands for minimizing light air (low speed) drag with high-speed stability and excellent handling qualities. Twin rudders will help control in extreme conditions.
The rig is a transplant from skiff rig development with a large square-headed main on a highly swept spreader, no backstay rig. The concept should provide some automatic de powering, and minimize demands on the crew during maneuvers to leave hands available for canard operation, keel activation and sail handling. The retractable bowsprit stretches the sail plan to allow ample downwind sail area in the form of asymmetric spinnakers.
Construction is in carbon skin honeycomb core sandwich, with carbon keel fin, and an all up weight of 2400 Kg. Motoring power comes from an 20 HP outboard that is retractable in a well that opens to the cockpit. The keel is activated by a hydraulic ram/electric pump system.
The boat is being built by Premier Composite Technologies in Dubai who have received ongoing orders. Hull #1 is due to launch in Dubai in February 2007. The design team has been thoroughly engrossed by this project and is pleading for crew spots on this excitin
