Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current trends of composite applications in the marine and leisure fields and to study the development of 33ft class America's cup training CFRP sailing yacht. In the field of marine and leisure, composite materials have been just used to marine and leisure structures, recently. Especially, since the America's cup of sailing yacht racing has required the light weight and high mechanical performance to make a high speed, CFRP have been recognized as the critical material to construct the racing yacht structures. To establish the process of CFRP racing yacht construction, the design optimizations and production methods of carbon mast and CFRP yacht hull were discussed in this paper. Finally, the constructed CFRP sailing yacht exhibited high performance as the racing yacht through the sailing test.

본 논문에서는 해양레저분야에서의 현재 복합재 적용 현황과 33피트급 아메리카스컵 훈련용 세일링 요트 개발에 대해 기술한다. 항공분야와 달리 해양레저 분야에서의 복합재료는 최근에서야 적용 및 사용이 되기 시작했다. 다양한 해양레저 구조물 중에서도 특히, 아메리카스컵 세일링 경주 요트는 빠른 속도를 내야 하기 때문에 경량화 및 높은 기계적 성능이 요구되고 이에 따라 경주용 요트를 건조함에 있어 탄소섬유의 사용은 필수적이다. 탄소섬유강화 플라스틱 경주용 요트 제작 과정을 정립하기 위해 탄소 돛대와 탄소 요트 선체에 대한 최적화 설계와 생산 공법에 대해 논의되었다. 최종적으로 이렇게 제작된 탄소섬유강화복합재 세일링 요트는 운항시험을 통해 경주용 요트로써의 높은 성능을 보여주었다.
