Vem bestämmer vem som får segla OS?
Foto: Seglarforbundet/Daniel-Stenholm. Inför Paris 2024 säkrade Emil Bengtson en svensk nationsplats i ILCA 7. Men han kom ändå inte med till OS. Inför SOK:s årsmöte har Friidrottsförbundet utmanat själva modellen för svenska OS-uttagningar. Och det här är inte bara en friidrottsfråga. För seglingen är det högst konkret: ska en nationsplats räcka, eller ska SOK fortfarande […]
De tre vanligaste misstagen jag ser (och hur du fixar dem)
Slören är ju kända för att ha Sveriges bästa måndagsseglingar? Jag var inbjuden för att prata på deras årsmöte. Temat var “Hur man kan utvecklas som kappseglare?” och jag hade lovat “praktiska tips, vanliga misstag och metoder som faktiskt funkar”. Många är ju riktigt duktiga seglare, och alla har ju koll på teorierna, så jag […]

DCNS, Marc Thiercelin’s new IMOCA 60, is taking shape at Multiplast in Vannes. The hull has just been released from its mould. DCNS are building several components of the boat, including manufacturing the keel fin in a steel used for submarines.
Marc Thiercelin’s new 60 footer for the Vendée Globe is under construction at Multiplast in Vannes. The final assembly of the hull, structures and partitions has commenced, and the delicate operation of the hull from its mould has been completed by the yard. The hull of the yacht DCSN now sitting in the workshop is the result of a close cooperation between the architects of the Finot-Conq office and the Multiplast team. The deck will be joined to the deck this week.
DCNS, the new partner of the Rochelais skipper, have made several contributions to the construction of the boat. This includes a keel fin, which DCNS manufactured in a steel used for submarines. Strength and fatigue were undertaken by teams from DCNS’s Lorient site to the specifications of the boat’s architect. The keel fin was constructed by the teams from branches of DCNS in Cherbourg and Indret called upon their technological speciality (welding by an electron beam).
In addition, during the construction of the boat, the laboratory at DCNS’s Indret centre will carry out regular checks on the hull, as well as mechanical tests on the strength of carbon components. Moreover, the Brest site of DCNS will manufacture the cradle which supports the boat when she is out of the water.
