“Challenging each other and pushed by the Owner Representatives, we managed to extend the boundaries of what was technologically possible: from time domain simulations coupled to experimental model testing, to implementation of the Captain steering in the model basin in ‘real time’, to the use of the simulator for the selection of propulsion and steering arrangements,” Enrico says.
Sanlorenzo Italian group Sanlorenzo builds a wide range of yachts, not only in size but also in type. “Sanlorenzo makes use of a diverse range of our services: a few years ago we were mainly working for the large yachts’ division and now we work for many of its production lines. Each yacht division has specific requirements and this keeps our yacht team on its toes: we cannot take anything for granted and there is no such thing as a standard approach to any of the challenging Sanlorenzo projects!”
MARIN has a dedicated Performance@Sea department that is constantly on board all types of vessels and offshore structures conducting measuring and monitoring campaigns. Enrico highlights a unique and memorable campaign of sea trials MARIN performed in cooperation with Sanlorenzo. MARIN’s meteorologist had warned about an exceptionally low- pressure area with a high possibility of storms in the Tyrrhenian Sea. “The MARIN

crew was already in Tuscany and was welcomed by the Sanlorenzo partners. They could only confirm the extremely bad weather conditions and the sea trials were postponed. The next day, all the local newspapers were reporting the severe damage that many areas in Italy had suffered. With a mixture of relief and sorrow, MARIN and Sanlorenzo’s crew and technicians installed all the necessary instrumentation aboard a SD112 and SX88 yacht and performed a unique manoeuvring and seakeeping campaign
at full scale. Not only was the data unique but also the experience!”
