Waiting on EEStor – holding our breath

After the January announcement of the marketing agreement with Lockheed Martin, news bits from Zenn announcing a performance upgrade for their electric vehicles, Forbes actually published a picture of the long awaited “arlesienne” Perhaps more interesting yet is the performances announced in the Forbes articleby Melanie Linder “EEStor says it solved that problem using a [...]

John Vigor’s Black Box Theory

There is no such thing as fortuitous luck at sea. The reason why some boaters survive storms or have fewer accidents than others is that they earn their luck by diligent and constant acts of seamanship. Aboard every boat there's an invisible black box. Every time a skipper takes the trouble to consult the chart, inspect the filters, go forward on a rainy night to check the running lights, or take any other proper seamanlike precaution, he or she earns a point that goes into the black box. In times of stress, in heavy weather or other threatening circumstances where human skill and effort can accomplish no more, the points are cashed in as protection... Those skippers with no points in the box are the ones later described as unlucky. The skipper has no control over the withdrawal of points, and once points have been removed, then the skipper must immediately start to replenish their savings, for the sea offers no credit.

Théorie de la Boîte Noire de John Vigor

Je muse (avec beaucoup d'humilité) sur une citation de John Vigor dans son livre "Practical Mariner's Book of Knowledge", dans le passage il muse en son temps sur les marins qui se plaignent des malheurs qui leur arrivent, du mauvais temps aux mauvaises rencontres, il articule la théorie suivante: La chance fortuite en mer n'existe pas. La raison pour laquelle certains marins survivent à la tempête ou sont victimes de moins d'accidents que d'autres réside dans le fait qu'ils gagnent leur chance par des actions constantes et diligentes qui contribuent à l'art de navigation ("seamanship"). A bord de tout navire il y a une boite noire invisible. Chaque fois qu'un skipper fait l'effort de consulter la carte, vérifier un filtre, monter en proue une nuit de pluie vérifier les feux ou quel qu'autre acte de précaution relatif à cet art "seamanlike" , il ou elle gagne un point pour la boite noire. En période de stress, par gros temps ou autre circonstance menaçante lors de laquelle l'effort et l'habileté humaine sont tirés aux limites les points sont engagés comme protection. Les skippers qui n'ont pas de points sont ceux décrits à postériori comme malchanceux. Le skipper n'a aucun contrôle sur l'utilisation des points, aussi, une fois ces points consommés il se doit immédiatement de commencer à regarnir la boite noire de points car la mer ne fait pas crédit.

GreenBoat BateauVert or The Greening of s/v Sean Seamour III

L'Aventure BateauVert a pour objet de suivre et analyser les nouvelles technologies de propulsion et de la production et le stockage de l’énergie pour la navigation de plaisance et hauturière. La mise en œuvre de ces technologies sur le Nauticat 33 Sean Seamour III permettra une amélioration de notre environnement marin par des choix validées.

The Greening of Sean Seamour III is a long term project designed to monitor and analyze new and emerging technologies important to bettering our environment and to help mariners and sailors who aspire to go green choose and implement the appropriate solutions. A Nauticat 33 is the test bed for maturing technologies sailing towards a future phase-out of fossil fuels. We invite you to join our crew of mariners from around the world who seek to make the sea a greener place to be.
