- W144444418 abstract "There is a growing awareness of the potential benefits of acquiring and converting vessels into private yachts. In the current market place, there are a remarkable number of commercial vessels currently available for sale at a very competitive price.These vessels have become available for a wide variety of reasons which include changes in the market need, changes in crewing philosophy, or as part of planned replacement policy. Where some of them are unattractive in appearance, in need of major restorative repair or uneconomical to continue to operate – thus have become available to be scrapped. While there are always a significant number of existing yachts offered for sale, the appearance, standard of construction and the interior may not meet the desires of an owner. A conversion becomes only beneficial to the owner if the chosen vessel can be produced in a time and cost saving package compared to a new build.For this purpose, “ANTARES” shown below, was a 1951 Dutch pilot and surveying vessel, which has been chosen to be used as a “donor” vessel for the conversion to an Explorer Yacht. This project identifies the main areas of concern for the conversion and uses the Maritime and Coastguard Agency code of practice for the safety of large commercial sailing & motor vessels to analyse and assess the situation.Plate 1 showing “ANTARES” in her present appearanceProblems associated with stability, fire protection and cost estimation of such are discussed and solutions to the problems offered. An approach of project management based on research and the use of charts to produce a precedence diagram that shows the sequence of the conversion process, have also been produced. Furthermore, a final 3-D model has been created to show how the vessel could look like based on the conversion work required (See Appendix XIX, p. 90-91).As a major design feature, which is a build in hangar that houses a helicopter, the need to compliance to the Safety of Life at Sea for the fire protection and system becomes a major issue which could affect the total cost of the vessel. The cost of conversion has been derived from a collection of 37 Explorer yachts that are represented in the form of a linear equation from a graph.The converted vessel at the end shows all features an Explorer Yacht can offer and combines “vintage” with a modern touch. The result of the estimated cost and the time scale may show an ideal vessel waiting to be converted." @default.
