The #1001VelaCup2024 has come to a close, and we’ve successfully reached the goal of our current project. With our boat 'Schickeria', we secured 5th place in the overall standings, earning the title of the best German team and, more importantly, the top-performing new team among five races. In the Paolo Padova Trophy race, a special competition with professors, we proudly finished in third place. In Trieste, we had the chance to experience 'Schickeria' in stronger winds for the first time and are extremely pleased with its performance. We can confidently say that our first-generation boat holds its own against others, many of which have been optimized over several years. Beyond the competition itself, we had the opportunity to meet and connect with the other teams in Trieste. We’re already looking forward to reuniting with them - if not sooner, then definitely at next year’s Cup. This entire project would not have been possible without the incredible team behind it. A year ago, it seemed unimaginable that we’d be here today with a boat that not only floats but competes at a level that makes us a serious contender. We want to take this moment to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone on the team for their hard work and dedication over the past two years. We would also like to express our deep gratitude to all our sponsors and partners, without your support we might have never finished 'Schickeria'. #impetussailingteam #EngineeringMaritimeCircularity #sailing #competition #race #boat #tum #studentclub

Presenting "SCHICKERIA" After countless hours of hard work, a little blood, sweat, and tears, we were thrilled to unveil our boat to the public for the first time. On a beautiful summer day last week at Lake Starnberg, we launched our boat in the presence of sponsors, family, and friends. The event kicked off with some time for socializing and networking, accompanied by drinks and delicious food from a rising Italian spot in Munich. We then took a moment to share insights about our team and the process behind building our boat. The highlight of the evening was, of course, the christening and maiden sail. Staying true to tradition, we made it official with a splash of champagne: our boat is now named Schickeria. With the christening complete, Schickeria is ready to give her best performance at the upcoming 1001 Vela Cup. "May God bless her and all who sail in her," or as we say in German, "Allzeit gute Fahrt und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel." #impetussailingteam #EngineeringMaritimeCiruclarity #sailing #launch #christening #maidensail #1001VelaCup2024

We’re down to the final few tasks on the boat before our first test sail next week. Right now, we’re working on the rudder and daggerboard mountings. The last deck pieces are being sanded, painted, and will soon be glued to the hull. Just a few days ago, we also began building the final piece: the bowsprit. Like the racks, it’s woven from basalt fiber and cured with Elium using vacuum infusion. After a year of hard work, we’re thrilled to present our completed boat! We warmly invite you to join us for the launch event on September 5th, starting at 4:00 PM. The event will feature a brief program, including a short presentation about our project, the boat’s christening, and its maiden sail. If you’re interested in the event please send us a private message for more information. #impetussailingteam #EngineeringMaritimeCircularity #boatproduction #launch #rollout

Now that we have almost reached the end of our production phase, we are building the last missing components. The daggerboard and rudder were each produced in two parts by vacuum infusion. The two parts each have a very specific lay-up including a PET core and basalt fibers in order to withstand the extreme stresses of sailing. Once all the individual parts have been infused, we will glue the parts together. Subsequently, they are tempered to give them even greater stability. To get our boat ready to sail, obviously it needs sails. After setting up the mast and rigging, our boat spent a week in the hands of our sailmaker, Fritz Segel. During this time, the sails, which had already been crafted, were finally fitted to our completed hull. A big thank you to Fritz Segel for their excellent work! #impetussailingteam #EngineeringMaritimeCircularity #composites #boatproduction #sails

This summer project seminar at the LCC centred on the construction of the boom for the boat of the student group Impetus Sailing Team. With a lot of enthusiasm and fun, the students dedicated themselves to the topic of sustainable boat building with the resource-efficient use of fibres through braiding and the use of a of a recyclable, reactive thermoplastic. Thanks to all involved, the students (Mala, Leon, Oliver and Julian) and the supporters with advice (Leo Heidemann, Kalle, Maximilian Strobel), materials (Alexander Zoller, Arkema) and all those I forgot. https://lnkd.in/g7tbqg9A

On our journey towards finishing our first boat, we made a stopover at the DLR-ZLP in Augsburg. Although they actually specialize in aerospace technology, the DLR-Institut für Bauweisen und Strukturtechnologie was very supportive of our project. Working towards our participation at the #1001VelaCup 2024, we were allowed to temper our hull in one of the ovens at DLR-ZLP. This means that the hull was heated to a constant temperature for several hours to harden the composite material. This procedure should give our boat even more stability when sailing. Many thanks to the DLR for their support! #impetussailingteam #EngineeringMaritimeCircularity #compositematerials #curing #boatproduction

Over the last few weeks, we have been fully dedicated to the work on the deck. First of all, we cut templates out of wood from the hardware store. We shaped and modified them until they fitted perfectly on our finished hull with the installed frames. Next, we transferred the templates to the wood for our deck, cut them out and fitted them to the boat again. Now the two largest parts of the deck are finished and waiting to be glued into place! At the moment we are finishing the hull so that we can close it up with the deck soon. Of course, the entire interior has to be finished for this. Over the weekend, our analytics team integrated a lot of technology into the boat. It includes sensors to record the forces acting on the boat while sailing, for example, as well as the associated electrical connections. We also started building metal components for attaching parts of the rig. Parallel to this, we are continuing to optimize the deck so that it fits perfectly on our hull in its final form. One last time we printed 3D molds for our current boat. Here, layer after layer, the molds for the daggerboard and the rudder were created from ABS granulate two weeks ago. The molds each consist of two individually printed parts. After 3D printing, the first step was milling out the exact shapes from the printed parts. This was followed by the manual work: sanding the molds and polishing them to a high gloss so that we can soon build a beautiful centerboard and rudder. #impetussailingteam #EngineeringMaritimeCircularity #recap #3Dprinting #boatproduction

In addition to the classic "design simulations" you saw in our last post, we are preparing to simulate the boat (and future generations) on the water in order to better understand phenomena during a race. To estimate and simulate the overall behaviour of the boat in the water, we are currently working on building the necessary know-how to set up a simulation with a dynamic mesh. This means that the components can dynamically respond to the water, simulating the actual behaviour of the hull in the water. Since the simulation results are only calculated at specific nodes, the designated points in the mesh, it is essential that the mesh adapts to the movement of the hull. To avoid going from 0 to 100, we decided to start with a learning object, the cuboid. Once again we worked with software licences provided by CADFEM (D-A-CH). The first results of our efforts can be seen in the animation. Here, a wooden cuboid is dropped into an oncoming flow. It can be clearly seen how the cuboid reacts to the flow and adapts to the speed. The water surface is coloured gray here, while the surrounding speed of the water and air around the cuboid is shown in different colours for a more detailed view. It looks simple, but it's quite complex. #impetussailingteam #EngineeringMaritimeCircularity #simulation #engineering #boatproduction
