Over ons
Dykstra Naval Architects brings over 50 years of experience in the design, redesign, naval architecture and marine engineering of classic and modern performance yachts and offers preliminary and concept designs for both pleasure and commercially operated yachts. Founded in 1969 by Gerard Dykstra, and led now by Managing Director, Thys Nikkels, the award winning team at Dykstra is comprised of passionate sailors actively sailing our own designs and redesigns using first hand practical experience combined with in-house developed software to provide expertise in spars, rigs, and structural analysis that is current, tested and tried. The combination of sailing experience, skilled engineers and passion for new and sustainable techniques drives Dykstra Naval Architects to realize the most challenging concepts. Great examples are the Dynarig and Aerorig concepts. These ideas can now be used to create new perspectives in yachting and create a new chapter in the yachting history. Passion for Innovation and Green technologies! To realize these concepts, the engineers use first hand practical experience combined with in-house developed software to provide expertise in spars, rigs, and structural analysis that is current, tested and tried. The designs are modeled and tested in wind tunnels and towing tanks. These results are compared with classical theoretical hydrodynamic and aerodynamic models. To analyze design details CFD can be used. Dykstra Naval Architects is often asked to contribute in other projects to design and research the rigging and sailing plan. Constant research is done for new methods and materials, both by University Interns as by the Dykstra Naval Architects team. A combination that proved to work well to keep everybody in touch with latest technology. Dykstra Naval Architects provided the Naval Architecture and re-design for some of the most challenging refits. Great examples are Adela, Adix, JK7 Velsheda, JK3 Shamrock V, J5 Ranger, JK4 Endeavour, Athena

A message from Happy Owners and 𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙀𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙚’s Captain Henry Say: “𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙀𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙚 during our sail in Sydney Harbour the other day, the yacht put on an exceptional showcase as we sailed down the harbour under a pilot exemption. The conditions were ideal, with a gentle 10-15 knot sea breeze, 𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙀𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙚 effortlessly sailed at speeds of up to 15 knots at times, demonstrating its impressive handling and performance. The yacht’s elegance on the water was unmatched, drawing the attention of plenty of onlookers as we cruised through the iconic harbour. It was an incredible experience, and we couldn’t be more pleased with how the yacht performed. This is a real testament to the quality and vision of the yard, naval architects, designers and sail makers.” Video by Crew 𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙀𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙚 #SeaEagle #SYSeaEagle #Sailing #Sydney #NewYear #threemastedschooner #superyacht #RoyalHuisman #MarkWhiteleyDesign #NorthSails #DykstraNavalArchitects

Hij nam het eerste exemplaar in ontvangst van zijn prachtige biografie. Zeilen is blij en trots dat dit eerbetoon aan Nederlands meest invloedrijke jachtontwerper van de afgelopen decennia nu beschikbaar is. Jules Bänffer schreef dit boek waarin de ontwerpen van Gerard in beeld en tekst tot leven worden gebracht: de revival van de J-Klasse, zijn werk voor Greenpeace, de Clipper Stad Amsterdam, ontwerpen voor bekende ondernemers en nog veel meer. ‘Gerard Dijkstra, een leven in superjachten’ is nu te bestellen en ligt in de boekwinkels. https://lnkd.in/eXCenDgY #GerardDijkstra #DykstraNavalArchitects #Scheepvaartmuseum Dykstra Naval Architects

Foundation Zero is thrilled to co-present a new research on enhancing photovoltaic panel efficiency in partially shaded conditions, such as on the deck of a sailing yacht. The white paper presents a novel control strategy to manage a two-step MPPT conversion process. The design uses cell string-level converters, which adjust to localised shading conditions to maintain optimal power output, connected to a second isolated converter to step up the voltage for integration into a bipolar DC grid. The use of gallium nitride (GaN) transistors further enhances the system’s efficiency. The experimental results show a significant increase in power generation compared to traditional optimisers, making this a promising solution for the deployment of photovoltaic arrays which may encounter unpredictable partial shading patterns. Foundation Zero remains committed to sharing cutting-edge projects like this, which drive sustainable energy innovation in challenging settings. • Research company: DC Opportunities R&D BV • Marine design partners: Dykstra Naval Architects, Vitters Shipyard and VRIPACK DESIGN Authors: Lukas Irazusta Gorostidi, Jesse Echeverry, Hidde Moens, Bob van Someren and Laurens Mackay #environment #zerocarbonyachting #innovation #technology #alternativeenergy
