Run Speed Underwater Testing Tank at U.B.C.
Computer generated hydrostatic cross curves, righting arm, intact stability, floodable length, and tank capacity calculations for virtually any type of vessel are available as required. Stability calculations and vessel loading can be prepared to meet the requirements of Transport Canada Ship Safety, Canadian Forces, International Maritime Organization, U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy.
Vessels may be designed to meet rules of the American Bureau of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, Bureau Veritas, and Transport Canada Ship Safety.
As the need arises for special skills not available through Bray Yacht Design and Research, we work with outside consultants as required to achieve a desired design goal.
Propeller and nozzle design as well as propulsion, resistance, performance prediction and calculations can all be made available. Specialized structural, heating, ventilation, electrical and mechanical engineering design and consultative services can also be provided. Models for static display as well as for testing can be commissioned.
Many projects retrofitting bulbous bows and twin fixed stabilizing keels have been completed, with clients expressing great satisfaction with the results.
